Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast from Monday September 4th 2023 what's going on? How are you? How's it going? Oh Billy jet lag oh Billy dragon is freckled bottom all across the goddamn world over here Jesus Christ I Did my show and to buy and I have my show and bragg tonight 16 hour flight

You know what's funny is i actually find flying elia to new york and new york to elia uh... more brutal than literally flying sixteen hours oh is that right bill that doesn't make sense it's five hours in change how would sixteen hours be better, right? It's the mindset. You know, when you got a fly five hours across the country, six hours across the country, it's like, Jesus Christ, here we go, right? And what the fuck is being born and now on these

goddamn things? Shut up. Anyway, you know, you're gonna get on the plane and you're just gonna be awake, you know, unless you take a fucking red eye from LA to New York, then you sleep on that one, but then you wake up, you feel like you're booze the night before because you don't get eight hours. You stumble out into a fucking, you know, Uber, a car service, the train, or whatever. And, you know, I don't, I don't take the fucking train because for whatever fucking reason, New York City, New York concrete jungle, which is a native fucking subway doesn't go to the airport. All of these people flying in and out of that fucking thing, the fact

they came up with this incredible subway system that they've never built subway stops that you got to get on another fucking goddamn fucking train. You know, you already loved your fucking luggage down the goddamn stairs. You're already stood there. You're fought off some fucking homeless people or whatever. You get on the fucking train. You got to go through all the Manhattan standing up because it's all fucking crowded. You finally get to the outer burrows and you get a goddamn seat. Then you got to fucking go back up the stairs. Where the fuck is it? Where, what do I do now? And then I got to go go back up the stairs. Where the fuck is it? Where what do I do now? And then I got to go over to here buy another fucking thing. Go back up stairs and down some stairs to get on this fucking thing that the person isn't even driving.

I'm when they first tried out that thing over at JFK some poor bastard got on it and got killed. And they're like, all right, I guess we got to tighten the screws. Now, no one's died since, but it's just, it doesn't make any fucking sense. It makes no goddamn sense to me. So I always do like a car service. And then what ends up happening is you get off the red eye flight, you fucking groggy. Some guys holding the sign up for you, you get in the car and then you immediately get stuck in gridlock traffic trying to get in to the Holland tunnel, the Lincoln tunnel, the George Washington bridge, the Tri-Burrow bridge, the fucking, the other tunnel over there. Near with that guy, fucking did the headstand and fell off and saturday night fever.

Where were you guys that was looking for yous? Um, anyway, you know what the lesson in that part of the movie is in saturday night fever when that kid didn't show up for the fight. And he, where were you guys that was looking for you when he said that he did fucking be like, listen, I backed my fucking car through the goddamn front of the store, the bar, whatever the fuck they were. He did do that. You know, that was something. Okay, but when he gets in there and those guys were calling him a pussy and everything,

he'd be like, well, you know, Yeah, I am In order for you to be brave, there has to be a coward Or else everybody's just the same So yes, I guess I'm the coward of the crew and judging by the big fucking Ace bandage on the side of your face, it was the right fucking decision to make. No. Anyway, and when you fly New York to LA, I'm just fucking awake the entire time and just

counting down the fucking minutes. So, but if you're going to fly to like Australia or over to Europe or over to the Middle East, the family baggy, right? You fly all the way to fuck out there. You just like, you just resign yourself. You look all right. Well, I'm just on this thing. I mean, what am I going to do here?

So what do you do? You fucking, you watch two movies, you eat, you watch two movies that kills like five hours of it, four, five hours or whatever. And then you go to sleep for eight. I don't know, it just always works out where I watch two movies, then I go to sleep and then I wake up and there's like an hour and a half left in the flight.

And that's what happened on this one. So I watched a big George Foreman was the first one that I watched, which was incredible. No, you know what? I got to give a shout out to people in the cast here. They watched, which was incredible. You know what? I got to give a shout out to people in the cast here. They did such a great job. Who was the kid who played George Foreman? He was amazing. And you know what?

Aside from the acting performances, the accuracy. All right. I'm going to ask, hold. I got my recorder on. And then the second I went to the online, I couldn't read anybody's fucking name. I just did like another five minutes on the podcast and I didn't record. All right, so the guy playing George Foreman was Chris Davis.

He was amazing. The problem is they got half the cast blocked out here. Forest Whitaker was amazing. I'm going to butcher this name, but the actress that played George Foreman's first wife, SHEIN, and it looks like Mom Premier. She was amazing. The guy playing, is it Sullivan Jones? I can see half the name here.

The guy playing Mahabat Ali was amazing. Obviously for his first Whitaker. Um, I can't remember if I already said this, but what I was saying about the movie, what I loved was how the way they set it up was you were immediately rooting for George Foreman. You know, I was even rooting for him not to fuck up his life before he became a boxer. And I knew there was gonna be a boxer, you know, I was even rooting for him not to fuck up his life before he became

a boxer. And I knew there was going to be a boxer, you know, and, you know, when they have you way championship and all this type of stuff, but even then you just were so invested in the story. It was just done perfectly. And as great as that movie was, I then watched one that was equally as awful. Yeah, you're on international flight and you just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and then they get into like movies that you've never even heard of. And I just see this thing. And you know, the English

translation or whatever the fuck it was, the movie, because I've looked it up, it's called like nine different things. But on the plane, it was called kill Miami cops. And on the cover, it, it looked like, it looked like the actor that starred in super fuzz and he looked good in a uniform because he was in shape. And then there was this the other guy. The other guy looked like an opera singer. You know, he looked like Pav Rade's brother.

And he looked old as shit and he was fucking fat and he would have this police uniform on. Like he'd been walking the beat for 50 fucking years and the action in this movie the way it was shot was just so fucking ridiculous and like the audio wasn't synced up with their mouths or I couldn't even tell if they were like not even speak in English and it was dubbed into English I mean it was it was a glorious shit show of a fucking movie right so like this is how bad the action was like there's a big

shi-not the spoiler alert in case you're gonna watch kill my amy cops uh... this is big shoot out in the end in this warehouse and at one point one of the bad guys This is this big shoot out in the end in this warehouse. And at one point, one of the bad guys who of course have machine guns and the other guys just have like pistols and they're shooting like fucking 100 bullets a second. The other guys are shooting like from a fucking revolver and somehow they're not getting hit and they're killing guys with machine guns.

So we've all seen that in the 80s action movies, right? But this one, this one took it even to another level. We're one of the bad guys throws a fucking knife at the in shape actor that's dressed as a cop. He throws a fucking knife at him. And then they cut to to Pavradi's brother. He reacts to the knife being thrown. He draws his pistol. He has all of this time as the knife is going towards the other dude. And what does he do? He shoots the knife out of the fucking air.

One of the great shots of all time. Jesus fucking Christ. If somebody fucking knocks on my goddamn door again here. hang on a second. Hang on. Yes. Oh, I love some water. Perfect. Thank you. Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. See, that typical me. I bitch, and then I'm happy they're here because they got the fucking I need some water here. Um, anyway Okay, shoots the fucking knife out of the goddamn ear and then

And then the bad guys just do like really dumb shit. It's like okay We have machine guns and these guys have revolvers and they're picking us off and we can't kill them for some reason. You know, it'd be a great idea. What if four of us, you know, went over to a forklift? One of us drives it and the others get on the pallet as he raises it up in the air. Maybe that will be a good fucking idea. Spoiler alert, they all get fucking shot. You know what's funny is I actually looked them up and they were ridiculously successful and the guy, the guy who making fun of that was overweight was actually an Olympic, like

metal-wim-winning swimmer at some point in his life. So the shape that he ended up getting it, because by the end of his, when I was watching him, like his head looked like it was as big as the police car. Like I couldn't believe he could even get in the fucking thing. So anyway, I looked him up and I learned all this stuff about him and all the success they had him and that other guy and I'm guessing either he got so sick of training to be an Olympic athlete or maybe he got injured or whatever He was just like or he got sick of the Olympic diet. He said fuck this He's just one of those guys, you know like you know you an old movie and you just look at someone and you're like,

there's no fucking way that guy's still alive. And I was really surprised. He lived well into his 80s. So I think all that swim and helped him out because if he didn't swim and he looked like that and he was eating the food that we have in America, that guy would have dropped around 63, but he lived well into his 80s. So congratulations to him. But it is a fucking, if you just want to sit down and just watch a fucking shit show with the friend

of yours that really enjoys a bad movie, I highly recommend kill Miami cops or something like that. Miami cops die. It didn't even make sense because no cops die. Because I saw the cover and I'm like, wait, are those two cops killing Miami cops? Are they bad cops? What's, I don't know. Who knows? That's a kind of like over here when you like travel. And you know what's funny, like as far as like people, especially here in Europe, is like

just some of the shit that they wear, like a New York Yankees hat. It has nothing to do with the Yankees. It has to do, I don't know about like America or something, like America. Ciao, Bella. Ciao, Bella. Like, I just saw a couple. I think they were speaking German. I was sitting in this cafe, you know,

just watching, you know, the whole thing go by, which is what I love to do. And this couple shows up, just total label horse, right? So the woman has on a white Yankee hat and it's all white, it has nothing to do with the Yankees. It's all white and the Yankee logo is in gold. And then it said something on the side that was also in gold like the MLB or something. I don't know what.

And then she had a white blazer on. So like the cat matched her blazer and then had like Chanel glasses, you know, chow, right? Remember that I love that special, what's his face did? Would he keep going, chow? That's what I just kept thinking of. And then the other guy, the dude German guy, had on, I don't know what the fuck he had on,

but he had a fucking hat on that had the American flag on it and it said freedom and then where the stars word would be for the 50 states it had the under armor Like what do you call it the logo? And I just want to be a scissor America. What in the fuck does that hat even mean? What the fuck is, what are you guys doing right now? But that's one of the things I love coming, going overseas and you just see like these weird and like weird names for movies and these weird interpretations. I mean, we do the same shit to this stuff, but I just don't know because I'm living there. So I'm not acting like we're better or anything. It's just funny to watch.

Like I remember being in France one time and I just saw this kid at a shirt and written in English. It just said Cuba best. Like I always wondered what Cuban people thought when they would see Americans walking around with like a Che Guevara. Was that how you say his name? Fucking teeth. That was the shirt to have as like some white kid in the village like, yeah, man, fucking society. And they never realized the irony that this guy was not into capitalism and that his face had somehow become like, you know, like the New York Yankees or like, or you would see like American kids if like, if they were into soccer, you just had a man united fucking

dream. It was just like the default thing. Roy, let's get some fish and chips, man-united. Like, you don't know anything. King and Queen, fucking Princess Diana, you didn't know fucking anything about it. So, anyway, I'm telling this story out of order. I got to tell you about going to Dubai. Some place I never in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi.

Do. I gotta tell you out of all the fucking places I've been to and I've been to a lot of them. I don't think I've ever been to a place where I out loud said, I can't fucking and I've been to a lot of them. I don't think I've ever been to a place where I out loud said I can't fucking believe I'm here As many times as I did when I was there I had such a great time The people were amazing

It was fucking It was hot, okay, I you don't even It was another level of like hot. It was like 92 or 97 degrees out at night at like midnight and like Walking down the street like we landed at night All of us and we were like walking down the street. And we were like, this is no fucking joke. This is, it affected how everybody just, you have this,

it's like you're still walking, but it's almost not walking. It's like you are moving forward, but yeah, you are not. You are not in a rush, even though you are. Your body just automatically knows that like if I pick up the pace here, I might fucking fall down. And we, the first night we went down and there was this giant TV screen and we sat outside at this bar and we watched like the end of this soccer game and I always call it soccer and I always will because it fucking annoys people that aren't in America. Cuba, best.

Soccer. Socker, we sat there and I'm smoking a cigar. I'm just so stupid, 97 degrees out. And I'm like, look at that. That's the fucking Persian Gulf right there. I got to go in it. Right? So, you know me, I'm terrified of any sort of body of water. So I go over there. I got up to basically my knees and I took a picture with Nate and Bianca. And at one point, like this, this thing of water went up and I went, what the fuck is that? What the fuck is that? I didn't realize Bianca, there's sort of like splashed the water up to add something to the,

you know, young people, they know how to Instagram. And they teased the shit out of me that I got stuck. All I was thinking, I didn't think it was a shark. I just thought like something just did that and something wants to eat that and then something wants to eat that, which at that point I think is a shark as far as the food chain goes.

I gotta get the fuck outta here. So anyway, I don't think I've ever been so apprehensive before a goddamn show because they were saying, don't talk about religion and don't make fun of the country. And then there was a couple other things and I was thinking like, there is, that's like, did they watch my tape? Like, what in the fuck?

Why am I here? That's what I thought. I, the meal I ate right before I went over there, I was like, why am I here? The fuck was I think and coming over here with my bullshit act like a, you know? And then of course, I like a, you know, and then of course I find out, you know, some of the royals, the people that run the country are

going to be there. And I'm going, oh, Jesus Christ. I'm going to get this, this isn't going to be good. And then people going, oh, so and so came over here and they said this and they got in trouble. That, that, that, da, right? So whatever, right before I go there, right? I'm trying to psych myself up. So we're riding from Dubai over to Abu Dhabi, right? And we're driving down there. And everybody's kind of like nervous, like, okay, what can we talk about?

What can we not talk about, you know? Da da da da da da, right? And then we get there and I walked in the arena and then it just felt like a show, right? And I'm thinking like, I don't want this to be a bunch of ex-pats, right? I don't want to come here and just perform in front of a bunch of white guys

that are like, fucking, you know, working for banks or something. So I peaked out and I saw a nice mix of people. I saw the bankers, you know, and then I saw the guys with the onesie thing, whatever they call it, dish dash, whatever they call it, right? Which I swear to God, if I spent one more day there, I would have bought one. Because I'm like, obviously these things cool you off, but I'm afraid that if I put this thing on, somebody's going to fucking be offended, right?

I didn't know, right? So I get there and Kenny goes, okay, I talk to him. You can do your whole act. There's not a problem. Just don't make, you know, bring up religion or, you know, make fun of the country. I said, that's it. And they said, oh yeah, and you can't say domestic violence. And I said, why? And he goes, I don't know.

And I was like, can I say slap the shit out of her? And they was like, well, they just said domestic violence. It's that I fucking I'm gonna say it. So anyway Bianca goes up first and There was just a crab and they were fucking great Did whatever she wanted she killed and then Nate went up there and he was like talking, you know Joking around about being there and they were totally fine with that so by the time I got up there It was just like a show And I went up there and the reception I got I couldn't believe it I Couldn't believe it was like I was playing like New Jersey or something.

I did my show and what I learned doing the show was how much you can learn about people by what they laugh at and the way they laugh at stuff. I was getting those laughs that there was one joke that I was thinking and doing where I bring up 9-11. And I was like, I don't know how they're going to take this. And I did it. And I got that fucking laugh. And as a comic, right? I always like, if I'm talking about something outside of me in my world, as a comic, right?

I always like, if I'm talking about something outside of me in my world, what I, what I do when I'm in America, as I look around the room to make sure that the subject I'm talking about, those people are laughing, right? Like say I'm doing a joke about race. It involves black people. I'm not looking at the white people in the crowd. I'm looking at the black people in the crowd. And if they're laughing in the right fucking way, you know,

or if they're not laughing, I don't want to need to keep working on it. Or I had this joke about Armenian people. And not only did they laugh, they came up. I was like, was that it? Or I'd be able to like that 100%. I know exactly what you were talking about, right? And I got that laugh in Abu Dhabi. And after that, it was just, I was just cruising. I had the best time. And then afterwards, it was such a funny conversation. They said that it's customary that if the royal family comes down, you've got to meet them.

And they go, do you want to meet them before or after the show? And I hate meeting people before the show, because I want to focus on the show. And then if I meet him after, if they didn't like it, they'll just leave. And if they like it, they come down. So it's kind of a better thing. So, anyway, the show ends.

And I was looking at Kenny, was that fine? He goes totally fine. Live nation, everybody said it was fine. I said, great. I said, are the royal family people coming down? And Kenny's like, his highness had to leave, but his excellency is coming down. So I ended up meeting his excellency,

and he was cool as hell. I said, your exalency, it's nice to meet you when he laughed. He goes, that call me and he said his name, which, you know, my head was spinning at that point. And he was a cool guy. We took pictures and all that type of stuff. And then that was it. The next day we like flew out, but like the level of relieved that the three of us were. And then what was funny was after that, like I heard all these other stories, you know, so and so came here and had to sign something saying they wouldn't say that again, but whatever, whatever. They're on their way.

That's what I'm going to say. The crowd is already ready, you know, for stand-up comedy, but like They're on their way. That's what I'm gonna say. The crowd is already ready, you know, for stand-up comedy, but like they're on their way, because I feel like even since the last time whoever played before, they've loosened up even more. And they were totally cool, and the crowd was amazing, and this is what's really funny. You know who calmed me down about going over there? You know, I actually ended up, you know, I go to this place, you know, every once in a while, and I ran into this guy. I don't know why, I just started talking to him.

He just had this approachable thing, and he, uh, acidic Jewish guy, right? And, you know, he's a funny guy. And we're just always like busting each other's chops or whatever I'm talking about life. So saying, as that man, I go, I'm going over to, uh, I'm going over to, you know, Abu Dhabi and I go, I'm nervous about this thing or whatever. And I said, you know, I can't talk about this.

I can't talk about that. And he's like, well, what can you talk about? I go, I think I I can't talk about this. I can't talk about that. And he's like, what can you talk about? I go, I think I can make fun of the Jews. So he cracks up. I go, I'm just fucker with you. And I go, I know it's gonna be good. I just want to, then he goes, look, he goes, just, he goes, the world's a positive place.

He goes, this, you know, certain areas, you know, it's new, they're not, and he just put me in that mindset. They're not ready for that yet. So rather than looking at it like, you know, certain areas, you know, it's new, they're not, and he just put me in that mindset. They're not ready for that yet. So rather than looking at it like, you know, you know, let me do my shit. I was just like, you know, go over there and just don't be an asshole and then other comics will get to do it

and then eventually it'll just be later. They'll see what they, they see over here. Like comics tell jokes and it doesn't affect anything. Everybody just has a good time. So the show ends, you know, and we got this great picture and I can tell you, I can't even tell you what a, how mind blowing it was.

I think I said that in the show to go that far away from where I live and to have anybody even know who the hell I am was, was unbelievable. And do you know I was sitting at the hotel and this waiter came up, asked me, you know, he wants something to drink or whatever. So I got like a water and he goes, oh, I don't want to bug you, but I'm a fan of your stuff.

I was like, really? He goes, yeah, he goes, that Philly rant was great. I go, you saw the Philly rant all the way over here. He's like, yeah, I was like, did you even know what I was talking about? He's like, well, I mean, I knew you were making fun of the local teams and it was funny. So I just kept having experiences like that. So it was, my head is still spinning. So I definitely, I'm definitely going to do the gig again.

I'm not going to do it in August. I can fucking tell you that right now. Jesus Christ. Oh my God. You know, I mean, I don't think I've ever appreciated air conditioning. The way I did on that trip, holy shit. I mean, you want to talk about like, you'd be walking down the street. You'd be so fucking hot that like when you walked into air conditioning, you'd almost be worried

you're going to catch pneumonia. Oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot. So I told the story when I was on stage about going into the Persian Gulf and they started yellow going, nah, they gone, they go on, they go on rabian golf. I'm like, what? I thought they were saying a rabian golf. I didn't know what they were talking about. They go, they call were saying Arabian golf. I didn't know what they were talking about. They call it the Arabian golf.

And I was like, oh, all right. I was like, whatever. I'm fucking American. We renamed shit. It's what we do. And they got a big laugh on that. I don't know. It was a great time.

So thank you to everybody over there for having me. And thank you for, you know, Nate and Bianca opened in the show. It went great. And now it's all downhill skiing here. I got prog tonight. And then I just do my next run of shows. And yeah, I was really, really happy that that whole thing went well. It's sort of the shit. You just go through that when you're on the road, man. It's just like this far away. It's like you have this act that works in the States and then you just leave and you're like, you just hear these, like you want to go out to the Middle East?

Like, fuck yeah, I would love to. When am I ever going to get to go, then you get there and you're like, what in the fuck am I going to talk about? That they're even going to, my act is so American. And then you just see this shit. Like when I was like talking about being married and everything, listening and the men and women

laugh it's the exact fucking saying they're going through the exact same shit exact same shit. Um, it's pretty well. Why can't I get this thing to shut off? I got somehow turned on the notification so I should turn that off right? All right. Well, I'm going to hit pause here anyways because I have to go eat dinner. It's late here.

So once again, thank you to everybody that came out in Abu Dhabi. I could not have had a better time and really, hope it's not a once in a lifetime experience but it's fun to go someplace that far away and actually connect with people like that. It was pretty mind blowing. I don't think I've even processed it yet, but as you can tell, I continue to talk about it. It was one of the biggest thrills of my stand-up career to have a set that good. I'll tell you, Mumbai, India was, it's right, when I went to Mumbai, India,

like so much of the crowd was the local stand-up comedians, which is, you know, the highest honor you could get. And I remember afterwards hanging out with them, talking comedy, and they were asking the exact same fucking questions that comedians in the States asked. It was mind blowing, fucking mind blowing. So I was talking to some people after the show and I was saying like, you know, I'm definitely, I want to come back and they were like, great. And I said, I don't want to come back in the summer, but I love F1 in MotoGP and they're like, yeah, let's

do it. Let's hook it up. So if you miss the show and you're over there, I will definitely be back. And, but you will not see me there in August. Oh my God, thank God for that hotel pool. The three of us and club soda, Kenny, we were just in the fucking pool. It was fucking awesome. And the pool was awesome. The hotel was beautiful, but like,

it was sort of like the perfect hang. And you know what, was good though? What was good is because it was sort of like the perfect hang. And you know what, it was good though? What was good is because it was off season, there wasn't a bunch of tourists there. So we could just kind of had the pool mostly to ourselves. That happened to me a long time ago when I went on my honeymoon.

I went to the French Riviera. Oh, Freckles, in front of his skis. Fuck in French Riviera, right? And we went to, what the fuck was the name of that place? I would have all remember it later on the podcast. One of those places I always heard about when I was, you know, in like, People magazine,

when they would show like Mick Jagger and the latest hot chick he was fucking banging right. Central pay. Um, so we're trying to avoid taxes, exile on Main Street all of that shit. Uh, I went down there and, uh, we got there before the, um, because we were there in April. And they were like, the people tell us, because it was like one road in. And they were like, in one month's time, that's going to take about like fucking whatever, like four hours to get down that street to come here. And it's just going to be just, and I can be honest with you, to me, that is not a fucking

vacation. It is not a fucking vacation just walking around standing in line. That's why I don't do any touristy shit. Although I did in Dubai, I went to the tallest building in the world, and as giant mall, they had a fucking full-on aquarium with like sharks and shit and scuba divers. Fucking wild. So we all went all the way up to the top, all the way up to the top.

And the people there, man, are funny. They have fucking funny. They drive aggressively like New Yorkers, East Coast people, Boston, which, you know, that's how I grew up. So I totally respected that but then like the touristy game was fucking hilarious like we after we went upstairs we came downstairs and this guy had like a camera and he wanted this to get the touristy picture you know and he's like my friend my friend sit down sit down I'm like

now and I'm good he goes my friend sit down and I'm like, no, no man, I'm good. He goes, my friend, sit down. And he got like really fucking aggressive. And I gotta look at him and be like, no. Fucking farty as hell, man. My friend, my guy's like, dude, I don't feel like your friend. The way you're talking, that fucking tone, I don't feel like your friend. So, that you know, he's just doing that thing, you know, the hustle or whatever.

But I liked it, had like a fucking, you know, the hustle or whatever, but I liked it. I had like a fucking You know people were cool, but there was like that East Coast vibe kind of thing That I really liked so anyway, that's it. So that's Dubai now. I am in Prague Unbelievably just incredible and today I went over to that church where I saw this whole documentary on how seven Czech soldiers whacked. I'll get all the information here. I'm just about ready to go out to dinner, but they whacked this fucking one of those murderous

pieces of shit and not see guys. They fucking murdered the guy, and then they were hiding in that church. And they always go somebody betrayed where they were at. It's like you mean got tortured? I don't know how it is, but whatever. And then like the seven of them held off like 700 Nazis

for, I don't know how long. And like I think three of them got killed upstairs and then they were downstairs and they still were fighting them off. And in the end, when they had killed as many of the Nazis as they could, and they knew they were going to get overrun, they just all committed suicide. And you go down there and it's just like, it's on, the bullet holes are still in the, you know, in the walls, man, it's fucking wild. And one of the, you know, I mean, that's right,

they were like the beaches and Normandy, all of that stuff is just amazing, those stories and the bravery of the people. And we, I remember remember I come here like four years ago and then heard about the story after. I was like, fuck, what did I love to have seen that? So I'll tell you what's wild about the story is that when Germany took check

and they didn't even like, they didn't even have like a decision. Like there was like a meeting between Germany, somebody else in like England, they don't even have like the Czech president even there. He doesn't even get to make the fucking decision. In England, co-signed on it because they didn't want to have another world war and they kind of let them take Austria and then check thinking that they were just going to stop, I guess, was the idea. So I just can't imagine being that president, like having to make that, like, what do I do here?

Like the German army, do I just say fuck that and fuck what you guys just signed? I mean, and then I'm, and then, you know, I'm a bunch of countrymen are going to get killed. Blah blah blah blah. Do I agree with this? Like, having to make that fucking decision? Knowing that, no, no, no, no, which way you go, you know, if you don't say anything, they're going to look at you like you're, you know, you just gave up the country. And then what was fucked up is then you see what seven guys were able to do.

Then you gotta be thinking like, well, fuck, man, if that's the kind of balls my people have, I should have fought these guys. You know what it was? There really was no fucking, you know, this is all hindsight. You know, it was? There really was no fucking who you know this is all hindsight. You know I was just reading these things today. This is all like new information to be some probably getting a lot of this wrong. But like one of the things that fascinated me was then at the end of the war. You know the same people that sold them out to the Germans were now looking at them like well, you fought on the you were part of the German

Side and it's like it. It's like no, we weren't you can't You fucking English cons you fucking sold us out you didn't leave us the decision as it's just You know it's the same old shit My country does that. We'll put somebody in power It's the same old shit. My country does that. We'll put somebody in power You know because he's gonna fuck with somebody else. I think you know who I'm talking about and then years later He becomes the bad guy and it's like oh you mean the guy that was our guy that we helped get into power And now we're gonna have to go you don't even know the guy

All right, I'm I'm getting too fucking deep here World politics is not my specialty a lot of things aren't my specialty But you know what stand-up comedy is goddamn it and I had a great fucking sent Nabudabi fucking deep here. World politics is not my specialty. A lot of things aren't my specialty, but you know what stand up comedy is, God damn it. And I had a great fucking set, Nabudabi, which is fucking awesome because now I am beyond excited for the rest of this tour. And I'm spending a couple days here in Prague

which I did on purpose because Bianca's from here, and she's been taking us out to all the spots, and it's just been fucking amazing. The only thing is sucks. The lovely Nia is not here, because we got the kiddos. Oh my God, can I tell you something? Fucking hilarious, my daughter said to me the other day, was she just said about me.

She said, dad used to have hair, but he outgrow it. Just said it matter of factly to her little brother. Because she's always singing songs that have bald dad in it. And she just thinks it's the funniest thing ever. And of course, I'm laughing, my ass. She trashes me. Which, you know, to me is the highest form of affection. You know, when somebody like is trash and you like that and she sees me laughing and then she just does it even more. But she was playing with a little brother and she's getting him teaching him how to say

ball dad. And they were playing with, I don to say ball dad and they were playing with I don't know what the hell they were playing with and she just looks over him. She goes, yeah, dad used to have hair, but he outgrew it and she wasn't even trying to be funny. She was trying to explain the process of going ball. All right, I'm going to go get some meat and I'll come back. I'll do the reads and all of that shit. All right.

Berr. All right, now it is time for your questions and comments. Oh, Bill, let the listeners know the Monday morning podcast live at the Troubadour 3 is up on YouTube. Yes, we filmed it. We did like a three two three camera shoot. And this was the one that was on moment, I don't know, four or five months ago and we just well I enjoyed it You know doing the podcast so much that we decided to put it out there and

This is something that I think I'm gonna do more if you guys enjoy it if you want to watch the podcast I definitely Would like to do more of these. I might even do a live podcast overseas, sticking out cool, that would be. All right, live podcast, Yo Bill, the live podcast was one of the greatest things I've ever seen, thank you,

for two free hours of comedy off the goddamn cuff, impressive stuff, Bill bill hope that Catholic guilt doesn't keep you from realizing how talented you are. Oh, well, you know, I've been doing this for a long time running my yap by myself so I just do it in front of the crowd. I also, I don't know, I also fucking just connected with the crowd. The crowd does sound quiet. We crowd a lot of people like, oh great show, but what's up with that uptight fucking, you

know, LA crowd. People are so dumb. It's like they came to see me do the podcast. They listened to the podcast. Their podcast listeners. So I don't think that they're uptight. I think you just can't hear them They all had a great time, but they were fantastic like the crowd and Abu Dhabi

All right, look at this you working out, bruh Hey fucking Billy Biceps. I saw Randy Blife posted a photo of you on Instagram and Jesus you looked ripped his fucked on the drum set. I did I Take that well listen is good as the arms are looking just know that the fucking you know I got a nice cunt belly, too. Don't ever forget that you've been lifting Yes, I happen what you know what I've been doing. I've been old man lifting weights which is I finally Have given in to the fact that I'm old, so I don't lift heavy weight. I just do weight that I can easily handle, and I just do reps until I feel a good burn. And then I'm like, all right, so that's the number. And that's what I'll do for three sets.

It doesn't take a lot to keep yourself tone. That's what I've realized, but it does take a lot to increase your muscles. H-G-H. Either the other, you gotta eat half a fucking cow every day. And I'm not doing that, all right? So I'm just gonna be, I'm trying to keep myself, but thank you for saying that

because I got a little out of sorts here when I was in, well, I was staying in Dubai, and it's just like, am I not gonna try the food? You know, oh my God, we had great food when we were there. But, you know, I went to, they had a killer gem at the hotel and I used it one day But the other days I did not so I've been good while I was in Prague and I got to tell you something

If ever I'm gonna go off the fucking wagon It's gonna be in Europe because My country really needs to up their game when it comes to serving beer. The fucking mugs, like I've been over here, like these giant mugs of beer. I saw like an old lady, like this old couple,

and they both had these giant mugs of beer in front of them. And I was just like, that's fucking, and just the afternoon, and you know, they just drank it and having a good time. I saw a mom with her mom and a baby in a baby carriage. She was like in her mid-30s and it was just like the middle of the day and she had a giant, like I'm not talking about a pint. It was this giant fucking medieval-sized mug. It looked fucking delicious. I'm not gonna lie to you for the first time in a long time. I thought, what if I just had one? My brain quickly told me the answer.

One will become two and then you go off the rails on this trip. And then what you're going to do is lie to yourself that when I get back to the stage, it's going to stop. It won't stop. And then I'll have to quit again, which was hard enough the first time. So fuck that. But God damn. Anyway, it says, you've been lifting.

It's cool as fuck to see my all-time favorite comedian with my favorite band of all-time Lama God. Yes, that was the band I was talking about. I want to be Billy Fancy pants, but I went down and once Chris Adler, who I'm also a huge, huge fan of, I still can't play all this stuff. Those drum things tracks that Chris played. He left the band a number of years ago. Art Cruz is the new drummer. I met him one night randomly.

I was at the comedy store and he said, yeah, I got a new gig and he was, I was like, well, you're, he goes, I'm, I'm, I got the Lama God gig. I'm like, oh, it's amazing. So whatever he had, he let me come down. I watched him play Soundcheck in this fucking amazing venue. I wanna do a show there.

I guess he used to be an old movie theater, but it felt like, oh, I talked about this, like an old tree, you could just tell, like this is gonna be a sweaty, fucking mass of humanity, losing their mind, fucking rock show. You just knew, you just knew, you could feel it. And, uh, but I got to watch some do sound check and I hung out with some of the guys, got some coffee. I had a great time. Um, anyway, uh, how is the show? I didn't see the show. Uh,

the guy says, I've been so busy lately. I didn't even know they were playing Riverside. I always go to their shows when they are in Southern California. Randy's Instagram post mentioned you jammed a couple tunes with them on the drums. No, I went up and I played a little bit. I fucked around a little bit. And it was funny because they had the drum kit and mic'd up when art was playing with them

and it sounded gigantic. And then when I got on there, the sound guy clicked it off. So I felt like when I was playing with them and it sounded gigantic. And then when I got on there, the sound guy clicked it off. So I felt like when I was playing, I sounded like I was on like a fucking toy drum kit. I also was going on after a professional drummer. So anyway, first, which songs did you jam with? Second, what is your favorite Lamb of God song? Oh God, you're gonna put me on my old brain?

Oh, fuck. Oh, let's go into the library here. I'll show you the album that got me into them if I could find it. I bet if I listened to it now, I could figure out some of the drums. These are the ones I have. Ashes of the wake was the first one. Oh, now you got... That was a great one. Oh, Marita was great. That was 2004, and that's where I was mentally. That was 2004 and that's where I was mentally.

That shit came out. So I've been on like a jazz kick lately. 2006 sacrament, that's one. And then the last out of my butt for them was the self-titled one in 2020. I can't play any of that shit, but if you wanna get into my library here, the last couple of things that I downloaded was this band called The Pretty Things, Parachute, the best to Sam Cook, and Joe Henderson powered to the people, which I think has Al Foster run drums, who played with Miles Davis.

That's how I know about him. But that's what I've been doing. But no, I didn't sit down. Like those guys are on fucking tour. They don't have time to do a make-a-wish jam session with me, especially when, you know. You know what I did? I sat down and I was thinking,

when am I gonna play? So I was thinking I was playing Pantera. I was actually playing Primus. Jerry was a race car driver. I was like, wait, that's not what I was trying totera. I was actually playing Primus. Jerry was a race car driver. I was like, wait, that's not what I was trying to play. I was trying to play the, the double bass part in Cowboys from Hell. And of course, I busted out my bonham triplets, you know, I did a little bit of that. I went around the Tom to a couple of times. That was it. It wasn't, it wasn't long, but it was his drum kit is fucking gorgeous, gorgeous, uh,

Ludwig kick, which I'm so happy that Ludwig is back because when I was coming up in the 80s, they had a, a time where they, they kind of lost their way, kind of like BMW. BMW was making great cars and I don't know what the hell happened. They went from a fucking three five and a seven to a one series, a two or three or four five eight. It's like boxing. We're all of a sudden they had like nine million weight classes and 53 fucking champions. Everybody have to while loses their way. I've lost my way, right? I said, a full head of hair and fucking my life had to me. Now look at me. I outgrow it.

Yeah, it was, I will tell you, as cool as it was to play his kit, it was even cooler to be standing behind, the drum kit, watching him play and trying to figure out like what was going on. Because I've watched Chris Adler play them. He did a modern drummer. I have this on DVD somewhere.

He did one of those modern drummer, like Drum Day things or whatever. And modern drummer would put out the DVD every year. And I remember I watched that over and over and over again. And he had like, they didn't show his feet enough. And he would sort of hop almost like Steve Gad when he would play, which is really cool. And when I watched art play, those parts, like he does, like he plays heal up and he'll down. Like, like whatever he needs to do to get it, it was, it was like he kind of was doing both.

And I'll be honest with you i i you know watching it full speed i i don't know that i learned anything other than he's a there you know an amazing drummer um... alright pizza and arm here uh... okay hey bill uh... i'm standing in line watching a guy make my pizza the doe. Oh no the doe. He throws around touches his arm Some hair at some poker

Has to have got in the dough at some point this is a classic voice text It says some some hair at some poker has to have got into some hair at some point, this is a classic voice text. It says some hair at some poker has to have got into some hair at some point. I'm not a germaphobe, but it got me thinking that thousands of arm hairs have been eaten with pizza. Help me forget this fact and tell me why I'm wrong. I'll tell you why you're wrong. It's because rather than keeping that information to yourself, you've now infected all of our brains with it.

I don't give a shit, I'm still eating pizza. But I do, like, that's my only thing I don't like about pizza is I don't like watching somebody, I don't know, prepare my food. You know? Like if my wife's making me dinner, I enjoy that. It's like, that's right. You work for me.

This is the power structure. You are the woman, you go in the kitchen, and you make me a fucking me up, kiddie. No, I don't like watching strangers handle my food. Even if back in the day, you're like, you're like a subway and they put on those fucking, you know what I love is when somebody would put on like the rubber gloves and then they just leave them on all day and they're talking to you and they're like rubbing their nose. But it's like, so at this point,

you're just protecting your hands from you. But all of you is fucking on those gloves. You ever do that order? What do you want? You're like, let me get this, this, this, and then you just see something like that. You're like, you know what? I got a, I know what I want to order. I want to, I want to order. Forget it. Forget about it. I'm all, no, no, I'm good. I'm good. Keep the money. I don't even want to go through the whole fucking, do you just take that buddy? You take all that money and you fucking go buy some hand sanitizer with it. All right, song I can't stand. Hey Billy Baldbag, big fan of the podcast, long time. Listen up blah, blah, blah, onto the shit talking.

I personally can't stand the song. Come on, Eileen by Dexie's Midnight Runners. And I have two theories as to why. Yeah, I fucking hated that song. I fucking hated that song when it came out. Come on, Eileen. And then, then they just sort of morphed into a cover. Da da da da da da da da da. and morphed into a cover. Didn't go beep beep beep beep baby, where did I love go?

And I just hated the sound of the keyboard. But now I go back and I listen to it and it reminds me of that period in my life so I don't mind it but uh... that's a good call yeah I fucking hated that song alright first of all my first ever girlfriend made it our song he put that in quotes in other words he had no say in that uh... when we were teenagers and i can't for the life of me remember when how or why well i mean that should have given you good memories unless you broke your hat.

There was something smug about this self-mytholizing behavior that I can't help but think about her every time I hear it. Side note, it's incredibly likely the origin story occurred during some early teenage binge drinking bouts, hence the lapse in memory. I'm starting to understand why she broke up with you. Did you immediately just go from zero to 900 with your drinking like I did? Secondly, and speaking of drinkers, similar to your aforementioned Neil Diamond Stadium, Pleaser, I think that the participation in the breakdown section Come on, Eileen is what is the most infuriating for me the tempo slowing Down and everyone singing come on

I mean Right, oh, yeah, it's awful Do you ever think they know that? They have to know that. Like when they're in the studio, you know, they gotta know that shit. We gotta dumb this down. We're trying to sell out a fucking arena here.

Let's just write some mindless shit that is fun to sing. I just remember too, like the lead singer looked like he, like a street person. He looked like he was homeless. That was another thing that didn't like. I like, like, fucking, you know, I hated myself growing up. So I like seeing rock stars that made me want to be them. So maybe when I saw that guy, he looked like a brunette me. I don't know. Who knows. But God bless him. want to be them so maybe when i saw that guy he looked like a brunette me

i don't know who knows but god bless them they wrote a hit nestil live enough of it god willing uh... all that took his own goes to tempos slowing down and everyone saying come on and then uh... and banging their fists against the bar like they're suddenly committed to living in the musical universe and rage a break into song at a moment's notice. Yeah, that was like the mooney mooney.

Get away, get fucked. Fucking acid- wash jeans. Oh God, those were such lonely years for me. I had friends, but I just remember everything I looked at, I was just like, that's not it. You know, just searching, like, where do I fit in? And when I was people go, get lit, get fucked. That's just good.

I don't know what bus this is, but I'm getting off, getting off this, next time this bus stops, I'm fucking getting off this thing. I don't know what this is. There's only two places I ever felt like I fit in and it was working in a warehouse and working in a comedy club.

There's the only two places where the people that were in there were wired like I was. Construction site a little bit, but they had different brains than mine. They were like good with their hands, like building shit, like knowing like a trade. Like I wasn't those guys. I don't know.

I always felt people that worked in warehouses were smart enough to not get involved in landscaping, you know, being a grunt doing that, just because it just beats the fuck out of your body. You know what I mean? It's like everybody knows if you're gonna win list in the armed services, armed forces, right? If you want to get treated like a human being, you, you, as much as possible, you join the

Navy or the Air Force. Like they have the best accommodations. I've heard this from veterans. It's like, you know, if you want to get knocked around and get treated like you, you know, on a whole other level, you join the army or the Marines, which is probably why the army and Marines have like, you know, are considered like more badass. Oh, let's get this going, huh? How would you rank them?

It's college football season. I'm over here messing out. The Marines are probably considered the most bad ass. Then the army, the Navy, I feel like is sort of ambiguous. It's like I feel like you're really smart, you know, they got those really lovely uniforms. I mean, I would say the Marines, their dress uniforms are the best. Then maybe the Navy. And then Air Force, I love aviation. But the funny thing about the Air Force is most people don't end up flying the jets.

You know, that's what I used to do. Like, I'm in the Air Force. You fly the jets? No. I'm the guy that does that yoga suppose and I point in the direction that the jets takes off. Hahaha. Especially after top gun, right?

And now they brought top gun bags. Everybody's like, oh yeah, you goose, were you maverick? Were you fucking Range Rover? What was your fucking call signs? I put the gas in it. I'm that guy. I'm like a fucking F-16 Rody. I set up and break it down.

That's what I do. Isn't it amazing those guys fly those fucking planes, right? And they can handle all those Gs and all that shit. And then they get all these chicks want to fucking bang them. But the guy that actually, the mechanics that work on those fucking things, like if it breaks down, they know how to fix it.

They know how to fix like a fucking $100 million goddamn airplane. And no one gives a shit. Shout out to mechanics. No one how to fix all this stuff. So the world keeps running and you still have to work. You still got to work on the weekends to try to get some woman to love you.

I relate as a comedian. We used to always be jealous of musicians because they could go up there and sing their songs and then they get off stage and the chicks would just be running up to them. Whereas comedians, we would do our shit. You get off stage and then they would, you know, if they came up to you you they wanted you to continue to be funny like the

show like never ends. All right song I can't stand dear Billy Copper Bush. I like that I like the idea that my pubes are the color of a precious metal. Um, and just like copper, over time, they change color. Uh, love the podcast and all that you do. You've been talking, you've been talking the past few podcasts about songs you can't stand. And for me, it's gotta be Africa by total. Oh, I can't co-sign on that. I love that band and I love that song.

Even though I have no idea what he's saying. That guy, what a fucking voice. You know what's funny? He was just asked to leave the band. They even kick, he was such a good singer. They just listened to him. You're doing too much blow. You got a fucking chill out here. And I'm like, hey fucking something down and everything. If no idea what he says. You know, crush that song at the God damn comedy jam, Big J saying

the fucking hell out of that fucking killed it. If you ever see Big J sang the fucking hell out of that fucking killed it. If you ever see Big J on the comedy jam, go, go that. I saw him sing another song. What the fuck was the song? Say it ain't so. He had the whole place sing it. All right, I'm 23 and regularly go out to college. Buzz!

Where that song is played. Africa is played pretty much every night. All right, I don't want to hear that song every night. And while everyone in the room is screaming the words at the top of their lungs, my blood starts to boil to the point of wanting to commit a hate crime i know what you saying that does dislike i think sports is the only time where i i feel like i want to be part of the crowd

where every time else when i just see uh... you know everybody that's losing their mind about a song yet weird how those old songs are catching on you know, I went to a USC basketball game and They had that journey song on Don't stop believing and these kids were losing their fucking minds now It didn't bother me because there's an old guy. I thought it was like oh my god Like this is cool that these young kids think anything that Came out in my generation.

That was a little before my teenage years when that came out. Anyway, the guy says, hand down, that has to be the gayest song released by a rock band in the 80s. Would you agree? No. No. Now, if not, what are some of the other gay rock songs released from that era? Thanks and go fuck yourself. I got to think.

I got to think. We know it was funny, was a lot of the songs that when I was a kid and I was listening to metal, so like I'm like that soon, that soon's gay, right? And then meanwhile, I would watch a guy in full makeup, essentially dressed like a woman. But there was guitar, and to me, that song has balls, right? So, I mean, if you saw some of the shit I was listening to, and it was considered metal and it was like, and you go back and you watch and you're like,

oh my God, this is like, this is like Rocky Horror Picture Show, which I've never seen, but it was, I don't know. Um, what is some of the lame rock songs? I guess she's not supposed to say gay anymore, right? She's supposed to say, you're not supposed to use it like that. Knock it off, remember that? This always happens to me with music. Why can't i fuck a remember

i'm gonna get one i'm gonna get one uh all right i'm just gonna start naming songs that i liked that were a little out of my wheelhouse that one band one of the she's a beauty she's one and a million girl remember that rock that wasn't like hard rock it was pop. Like, what was the other guy? I love's in jeopardy. Baby, I fucking love that song.

Oh, 8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 4, 9, 8. Like whatever that was, that part of rock. God dammit. You know what, you caught me. Give me a, I'll answer this on the next one. I would say like any of those ballads that were like, like Aureo's speed wagon. Oh, that come on, Aurebato, Mistoro, Bato, like sticks, right? Like those were bands, like, it's like, what the fuck are you guys doing?

Are you a rock band or are you trying to be more like, you know, rock opera? Like I don't know what the fuck is going. Like I could never, like I always find with those bands their early shit. It's like their early shit was, it had balls to it. And then at some point the lead singer, you know, the guy that plays piano, that fucking guy, which is just not rock, man. There's no keyboards in rock, man. There was all of that shit.

Like once that guy's ego, like took over, he got big enough and then all of a sudden he starts calling the shots. You know, but that didn't always, that wasn't always a bad thing because early journey was like, oh, actually, I think they were like more like a prog rock band. And then when Steve Perry got in, he took them in this different direction, but then they made all these great songs. So there's no, you know what people there are, no absolutes. But fuck, that's such a good question. There are no absolutes, but fuck.

That's such a good question. There's so many of these songs when I was growing up, but now I like most of them I like now. I remember I hated Culture Club. I couldn't relate to the music at all. I was weirded out that there was some dude dressed like a woman. While, watch, you know, like Boy George, what could have dressed the exact same fucking way except having an electric guitar

and had some fucking heavy rips and I'd be like, fucking Boy George rocks. Like, that was so fucking stupid, right? But I was stupid. I was dumb back then. Now, I listened to Boy George, I got two right here.

That how about this? Songs that you used to think were lame. And then you go back and listen to him, you're like, oh, that's actually really good. I would say boy George and simply read. When I was fucking growing up, I was like, man, fuck those bands, fuck those bands, I was fucking lame, fucking bullshit. Now fuck those bands, I fucking lay, I fucking

lay, I fucking bullshit. Now listen the guy's simply red, I'm like that guy's voice is fucking unbelievable. And then that song, do you really want to hit me? You used to drive me up the fucking wall and now listen to him, like the drum, the fucking drum groove on this is fucking insane. It's amazing. And then also this is sort of like blending genres. This is actually really high level pop music here.

The fuck was wrong with me? Dude, the amount of makeup, by the way, sold in the 80s. That has to be the best era ever. It was like everyone was wearing it. Prince was wearing it. Prince was wearing it. Prince, I had an on again, off against fan thing in the 80s. You know, he would do like, oh no, let's go on and fucking rock and I would like it. And then all of a sudden he was getting out of a bathtub naked and I was like, eh, what the fuck is this? And I would have to walk away. I don't know it all comes down to personal preference

but then in the end I go back and at this age and I listen to it and I kind of love all of it and I just realized that I was just a fucking idiot kid and you'll do that. You know what one of these days I'm calling it right now you're going to listen to that song Africa and you're actually going to like it because it's going to remind you of being in college and having your whole life ahead of you. All right, before you have fucking outgrew your hair. All right, that's it, everybody. Go fuck yourselves. Thanks to everybody in Abu W came out to my show.

I had such a great time. It was a mind blowing experience, and I hope I get to do it again. And I'm looking forward to Prague tonight. Berlin, Stockholm, Budapest, and then in Athens. It's gonna be fucking insane. All right, that is it. I will talk to you later.
