Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday.
September 8th,
2,025.
What's going on?
Hawaii!
How's it going, man?
What's going on with you?
How'd you do your first week of fucking gambling on NFL football?
Did you do as bad as I did?
Jesus Christ.
Everything I thought was going to happen.
Didn't happen.
I had the Buffalo Bills.
I had the New England Patriots.
I had the fucking Kansas City.
Chi, I fucking, hey, this.
O'3 and 1.
I somehow tied one of them.
One of them.
I had the fucking dolphins.
Everything that I thought was going to happen, the exact opposite happened.
But I would rather be all right or all wrong.
So then people that listen to me can still make money.
If I'm crushing it, just do what I say.
And if I'm fucking eating it, like usual, just whatever Bill says, do the opposite.
If you did the opposite of what I did yesterday, if you just said, this is a
stand-up comedian, male pattern baldness,
did not play organized sports past fucking junior high.
You know, I'm just going to do the opposite of what this guy said.
You want to make some money, unless you tied them all together,
which is the dumb move, is to tease something.
All right?
Let me tell you something.
The only person you're teasing is yourself.
Now, doing a two-team tease, that's like,
a crime with somebody else. You've just increased your chances of getting caught by 100%.
The other team is going to cut a deal with the league to fuck you out of your money.
Oh, God. I sound like Earl Weaver. You came here for one goddamn reason. Oh, yeah, what's that, Earl?
To fuck us. That is the greatest fucking line anybody's ever said to an umpire.
you came here for one reason to fight like like the umpire wasn't had no plans of going to
Baltimore that night and said you know what I have I'm going to go I'm going to go down there
what are you going to go down there for I'm going to fuck the Orioles specifically Earl Weaver
100% speaking of which sad news davy johnson
passed away um just an absolute legend I had no idea
How much? I only knew him as a manager. He played, you know, his career ended before my time,
sort of in like the 70s. But he played for those incredible Oriole teams in the late 1960s.
I believe they won it in 66 and 70 with both Robinson's Brooks and Frank.
That whole great run that the Orioles had mid-60s right through the late 70s of just incredible
offensive, defensive players and pitching staff.
then he goes on to manage and this is amazing he managed when he became a baseball manager after he
retired he also went on to the braves and was part of uh with hank aaron and was the first
was on the first MLB team where they had three players with 40 or more home runs it was him
hank Aaron and i apologize i don't know the other guy's name so the guy retires it's how
legendary this guy is he uh he coached
three years in the minors each at a progressively high level and on each all of the three years
he won a championship and then he took over for the new york mets and the rest is history
one in 86 one of the greatest comebacks you know in in in world series history and one of the
most like that that was the one as a red sox fan they they all this fucking bucky dents shit
and all the yankees it wasn't that it was fucking 86
because no matter what the Yankees did to us,
it was during the regular season.
You know, or it was before the World Series,
you know,
even like when they beat us in the playoffs with Aaron Boone,
it was like we won it the next year
so it didn't have a chance to marinate,
but I will fucking tell you what.
That Mets loss in 1986.
I watch it now, now that we've won World Series,
and I can actually appreciate how fucking hysterical it is.
I mean, if you had it in a Hollywood script,
it would be like, who gives up 15 singles in a row?
That's what it felt like.
But anyways, Davey Johnson managed that team.
And I think he went on to the Reds,
and he did all of this stuff,
right on through the nationals,
just like I would put him up there
with sort of a, you know,
like he carried the torch of a guy,
say like a Don Zimmer or a Joe Torrey, those guys who actually played the game and then, you know,
had just as much success or if not more success as a manager.
Like, I remember Don Zimmer played on like the 55 Dodgers.
Joe Tori was on the Braves.
I want to say maybe the Cardinals too.
I don't know.
But anyway, just a baseball guy.
So rest in peace to him.
And Ken Dryden.
Ken Dryden of the Montreal
Canadians
I didn't know this
The fucking Boston Bruins
actually drafted him
Oops
I got to research
how he ended up
on the Canadians
but
Absolutely stonewalled us
through the 70s
He only played
He played like
Like
he held out
When we won in 72
I believe
I read it real quick
Before the podcast
I believe he was holding, he held out for an entire year.
So we didn't have to go up against him with Esposito, Kenny Hodge and all of those guys.
Derek Sanderson, Bobby Orr, and thank God he did, because who knows what would have happened.
That guy was like that good.
He literally, he played from like 1971 to 80 or 79, I believe.
And he won the Stanley Cup in 71.
71, 73, 76, 77, 78, and 79, and then called it a career, got into politics, wrote a whole
bunch of books, was truly a renaissance man. And I remember all of my buddies that I worked with
in the warehousing that were 10 years older than me. Oh, my God. The nightmare stories
they used to talk to me, they used to tell me about Ken Dryden. And
There was no eye contact, and they would just shake their head.
I mean, he was that good.
Six foot four, an absolute beast.
And had a whole, like I said, a career as an author and a politician and all that.
Incredible.
Anyways, which brings me back to myself, 57-year-old bald ginger who's playing Thousand Oaks.
Which admittedly pales in comparison.
to the accomplishments of Davy Johnson and Ken Dryden.
So I'm Thousand Oaks this Wednesday, really looking forward to it.
I'm working with two of my favorite people, Dean Del Rey and Bianca Christavow.
The only person missing from the crew is Nate Craig, who has a new amazing special on YouTube.
he sent it to me and it was one of those deals I was busy and I started to watch it
and then I couldn't shut it off he just has his own really just has his own vibe super super
smart comedy absolutely love it so anyway check that out if you get a chance let's get on
with uh now that I've done the announcements let's get on to the uh the actual podcast here
oh Billy oh Billy's uh you know I I had what a what a week
I had. What a week I had. I went Saturday night. Was it Saturday? Yeah, Saturday night I went to the Rose Bowl and I saw Oasis who came along when I was like 30 years old. So I finally got to see their crowd like losing their fucking, like people were losing their fucking minds at that show.
It really reminded me, there's a couple of times I went to go see a band, you know,
because I've always been a metal guy, right?
It's weird, metal and big band swing.
Figure that one out.
It's a combination of who I was hanging out with in my dad's record collection.
So, and also when Oasis came out, like, I was, you know, I was doing stand-up at, like,
fucking spaghetti freddies and i was approaching 30 i the amount of music that i missed in all of that
um because i ran into somebody at the concert and they were they went how many times you've seen
my go this is my first time i think you never saw him back in the day i was like dude i was
like i had no money i had the cd i i didn't have any money so it reminded me of a long time ago i
saw the dead at Sullivan Stadium in the late 80s to be like, I got to see what is, what is,
you know, I like their music and everything, but like people dedicating like their
fucking life to this band. I got to see what this is. And I went there and I was like, all right,
I get it. Or I saw Bruce Springsteen at, uh, the Honda Center in Anaheim, the most sterile
place you could possibly be to see Bruce Springsteen in the East.
Street brand and they came in and they fucking blew the roof off the place and made you feel like
you were in New Jersey. I would say that's what that's what they do. They just bring their fucking
New Jersey vibe everywhere they go and fucking murder it. And I would put Oasis on that list now because
I went to go see them and dude, they came out and just fucking leveled. Leveled the Rose Bowl.
And it was like, and they barely move. So it's all on the
basis of what they're playing.
You know, no fucking jumping around and like the shit I was watching, people were doing
jump splits off the fucking drum riser.
This was the exact.
It's like as a stand-up comedian, you know, I got to move around and sell my shit.
But like the joke writers, they could just stand.
They don't have to fucking move.
They barely burn any calories.
I finished my set.
It's like I got off a fucking elliptical.
These guys can just stand there and murder.
was like that and um yeah lead singer is fucking hilarious and uh most of the night you know
they would like jokes i was like is he fucking with this right now or is he are we in on the
joke or is he kind of making fun of us or whatever um but it was cool they came out and they
both brothers hugged which was good i come from a fucked up family so it was good to see them
you know showing that they had buried the hatchet and
then Liam said just really nice shit at the end where he thanked everybody and he said something
really funny he goes I really appreciate all you guys he goes I'll be the first to admit we've been
an absolute nightmare of a band to support which was fucking hilarious um yeah it was great so
um and then I got to I got to say um you know I wasn't familiar with a lot of Noel's solo
stuff and they they gave him a whole nice section in the middle and that
That was some of my favorite stuff for the night.
And I also really became even more of a fan of his guitar playing.
Drama was great.
Just the whole thing, man.
I've had a really good month as far as like seeing live music acts.
So I did that.
And then last night I went with my lovely wife to the Emmys.
And I saw a whole bunch of friends of mine.
And we all hung out afterwards.
And like that's, in reality, that's the best part of the awards night.
is fucking hanging out with all your friends.
So we were just all hanging out
afterwards telling stories and shit.
So it was definitely a great time.
And I figured out the cruise control
on my motorcycle.
I was so intimidated by just being able to ride the bike
and I've been riding it again
and I'm having a great time with it.
And, you know, I'm finally just like,
just like the owner's manual.
Like, you know, I'm a summer school kid.
You give me a book,
like that would print that small.
I just curl up into the fetal position.
I'm just like, I'll just ask Dean how to do it.
Then I was just like, no, fuck this.
Just bring the owner's manual every day, figure out something else.
And it turns out it's not that big a deal.
It's like the left side is your cruise control and the right side is the radio.
And then the screen, you pair your phone and you're kind of good to go at that point.
And then the cruise control, there's all these different ways to shut it off, which are really other
than like stepping on the brake, the back brake or pulling the front brake, you can actually
roll off the throttle or you can pull in the clutch. And what I like about that is if you're riding
with somebody else, you know, they're behind you to have to step on the break just even for a second
could cause the person to fuck up or whatever. It's just like, it's just a safer way to do it.
And, you know, I was just riding around the airport, like figuring it out. And I, and I, and I, I,
I don't know, made me feel good about myself, all right?
I'm sorry.
Anyway, what else have I been doing?
Not a lot.
I've been doing a bunch of stuff with my kids,
so I tried to watch as much football as I could.
The Patriots were competitive.
We, you know, I don't know.
It's early.
I will continue to watch.
And I was trying to watch it on my phone.
But of course, YouTube needs to know my location.
And I just, I don't fucking do that.
shit and you know i just you know updated a few things in my kitchen and i didn't realize it the
people that put it in like a refrigerator has an app our washer and dryer has an app it's like
what the what what kind of fucking world like you can't buy anything anymore it's like everything
is like it's just bugging your house and what it is i guess in a way is like kind of harmless
but all they're trying to do is like
get some sort of information
about how many times you eat a ham and cheese sandwich
and believe it or not, they can sell that information.
They're a bunch of fucking rats.
And the thing about it is,
is they build in a cage that they're going to have to live in.
That's what I don't understand.
It's like, dude, they're going to be doing the same fucking thing to you.
And you don't care as long as you have like a bigger house.
I just don't understand like,
people like that
and
by the way
how about this thing
with ICE now
that if you
if you join
they'll pay off
your student loan
that's how you're
going to pay off
your student loan
taking the kid
taking some mother's
kids out of her arms
as she's screaming
crying as they drag her away
that's how you paid off
your fucking student loan
I mean
Jesus
fucking christ get a fucking real job like whose side are you on here if like i swear to god with
the way it is right now if you're not on the side of the working man or the or the the little guy
illegal immigrants like i don't know what i don't know i i just don't it's like you're punching
yourself in the face like to think that illegal aliens are the reason why you're getting
underpaid i mean you're just not reading about history i know i've said this in the zillion time
it's the cunts look up stupid look up it's not down you're blaming powerless people that are even more underpaid than you
you should be reaching out to them getting a fucking band together that go storm the castle like some of
these lunatics that have started hunting down CEOs which the mainstream press is really trying to oppress that story that that is happening
which is a stupid move
because if you want to
fucking stop that from happening
you should be holding
these CEOs feet to the fire
and tell them
maybe if you're not
you're not so fucking greedy
these horrible acts of violence
against you would stop
and instead they're trying to
say he was trying to go after
the NFL oh was he
is that what the fuck he was doing
oh Billy
conspiracy theory
anyway
Right. So I went down to the gym again and that rock star chick was on the fucking elliptical again with the sunglasses on every, like, I don't know. I got to get to know that person just or just at least do a little fist bump because it just fucking makes my day. You know what I mean? To do the elliptical wearing sunglasses inside of the gym, I mean, that's something like, that's just like rock star shit.
it's like i'm going to get on this elliptical and do this awful fucking thing but you're not
going to take away my vibe you're not killing my vibe so um because she's been on it and like
nobody likes the elliptical anymore and you know it's it's disappearing like fucking
right aids ellipticals are in gyms uh i just don't like the fucking tread first of all
There's a million people.
Everybody loves the fucking treadmill.
So I've now moved on to the fucking stair master.
And I've been having a good time on that thing.
And, you know, I'm fucking working my way down.
Working my way down.
My goal is, you know, I'm off the road here.
If I can work my way down to my fighting weight,
as Dave Kekner used to say,
when he would do Bob Pogo for us,
on F is for family, my fighting weight.
We used to throw that in the script just to hear him say it.
He used to always sing it like that.
My fighting weight.
It was one of my favorite things on that show.
Anyway, plowing ahead.
I don't know what.
I had a great fucking weekend with my kids playing baseball and all of that stuff.
My daughter said something so fucking epic to me
that made me just really feel.
just really made me feel like I was fucking raising her right.
I presented a scenario to her.
Like I was joking around acting like I was a bad dad.
And I would be like, what would you do if you had a dad like this?
And she immediately had the fucking answer.
And it was so amazing.
I'm not going to say it because I think I have to put it in my act.
It's, it actually took me a back.
What the fuck is that noise?
Is somebody flying a drone out there?
It's just
It's
LA is just
It's just, it's noise
It's a noisy
fucking place
But I will say I do love it
Just a goddamn
It's arguably
As noisy as New York
I wouldn't go that far
What I did enjoy
Oh Jesus fucking Christ
I gotta move here
It just
It never
never ends there's always there's always fucking something oh did it end it ended it ended because
i got up um so anyway i got some new games that i've been playing with my kids so um i play a drum
beat and then my daughter has to try and play it she has can't add the right hand yet but she's
been able to do it she has like a great ear so um you know i've been trying to work that in
we're back to playing home run derby again
and uh they're too big to ride the bikes in the driveways now so i got i got to take
them somewhere else for that um my new fucking daily drivers in the shop again but i don't give
a fuck it started leaking something and the engine light came on we're just getting it dialed in
but i have to tell you that fucking car is the most fun car i have ever driven i can't quite
tell you what it is it's a foreign car
but six-speed manual transmission it is the most fun fucking car i've ever driven and um yeah i don't even
give a shit i'm like just you know there's a couple of things like the trunk won't stay open you know
i got to get that fixed there's something on the front grill is a little loose that's it and then
it was it was also leaking something else i couldn't tell what it was it wasn't oil it didn't
feel like transmission fluid the guy said maybe it was the fucking air conditioning um
runoff or sign. I don't fucking know.
But it's down there. What are you going to do?
I don't know, Bill. What are you going to do?
So with that, let's talk,
let's do some of the,
some of the reads here for the week.
All right. Oh, look who it is. Oh, my God. Zip.
It's old zip.

the smartest way to hire open phone i feel like i have two advertisers on this podcast open phone
and zipper crew open phone if you're running a business every miss call is money left on the table
think about the last time you had a plumbing emergency stand ankle deep and shit and piss if the
first plumber didn't answer did you wait or did you call the next one on the list chances are you moved on
unless you're German.
Oh, was that necessary?
With open phone, you'll never miss a chance to connect with your customers.
Open phone gives you a dedicated business number that works right from an app on your phone or computer.
You and your team can share one number.
Reply to customers faster and keep everything organized so nothing slips through the cracks.
Speaking of plumbers.
Thank you.
I'll be in Thousand Oaks Wednesday night, baby.
Open phone.
even keeps your phone covered after hours, so leads don't disappear while you're away.
And if you've ever sat through a long business call and couldn't remember what was actually said,
you're not alone.
Open phone.
Call transcripts and summaries capture the conversation and give you follow-ups,
so no more taking notes or losing track of next steps.
You know, if you're on a long call and you lose track of what is being said,
I don't think that you've found your passion in life.
Maybe you need to go to zip the cutter and try.
try to put your resume on there.
And then you can use open phone at a job you want to do.

This podcast might be a little short like your cock.
we'll see we'll see if I have things to say
Michigan lost Jesus fucking Christ
I know they're all excited at
the state school in Ohio
you ever seen anybody
more proud to go to a fucking state school
have you talked to people from Ohio State
like when you talk to somebody smart
do you ever think oh my God they must have gone to
Ohio State
never
What do you think?
You think Ivy League?
That's what you think.
You think Georgetown.
Stanford.
Let's talk smart schools.
Dude, he's fucking wicked smart.
He goes to.
Huh?
What would you think?
Brown.
Princeton.
Colgate.
No.
Is that?
No.
Can I name?
Can I name?
I used to be able to do that.
I used to be able to name me Ivy League.
Yale.
Havid Dartmouth.
Brown.
Then there's a couple of Cs in there.
Cornell, Penn.
Um,
there's one more.
Columbia?
Ain't no goddamn fucking
Ivy League liberal hunk of shit fucking
university down here in South Carolina.
You cock-sucking out of McGin-Cocks.
Have you ever seen a group of people more against being smart than dumbass white people?
My people.
I don't know what it is about us.
You know what it is?
It's like we're a fan of a bad band, billionaires.
We fucking can't get enough of them.
Keep fucking us and tell us who to get mad at.
admittedly i've been part of the problem okay i'm not putting myself above dumbass white people
god knows i have the high school transcript to back it up um anyway let's plow ahead here
um who who did i see that i was surprisingly high-ranked i don't know this whole weekend
was a fucking blur i i i you know something don't listen to me oh actually for most things but
definitely with like football i just with the kids i i they just did did they're too much fun you know what i
mean and i and i got to hang out with them because they fucking crack me up and then also every parent
they're always going it goes by so fast it goes by so fast and i just want to tell them like just be like
dude dude dude dude everybody says that this is not that's what i'm going to say from now on
this that is not new information literally every single parent
says that. And what you're doing now is you're romanticizing
having young children. And you're forgetting how exhausting it was
because you've caught up on your sleep now. And now you're looking back on. You know,
it's like being a stand-up comedian. Once you start selling tickets, you just look back on all
those fucking hell gigs laughing your ass off saying how much, how funny and fun they were.
They weren't. They were fucking humiliating. But now you're past it and you're looking back at
it in a different way, you know, I don't know what it is. But like, I think one of the worst things
you could do as, as a parent with fucking kids that are grown up is to fucking always, they always
just put like this panic on you that no matter what you're doing, it's not enough. And I've
realized in the end that it has nothing to do, it doesn't even have anything to do with you
and it has nothing to do with their kids. It's about them. It's about them. They, their
kids have moved out and now they feel useless, they don't have a fucking hobby, they don't
know what to do. So their hobby is to ruin the enjoyment of people that still have young
kids. That's what I feel they're trying to do. All right, moving ahead here. All right,
internet, do your thing. Bill, this is my least favorite trend on is. Okay, I'm just going to
read the sentence the way it was written. This is my least favorite.
trend on is when people post a picture of someone who did something stupid, i.e., the Philadelphia
lady in the stands at the Philly game, who argued that the ball scooped up by a dad for his
kid's birthday should go to her because it was in her area and she has a right to it.
Well, listen, lady, you're a fucking moron, but the dad can handle himself.
these people who aren't addressing the issues in their lives are able to put off for another 24 hours their own problems and responsibilities toward happiness because they have some internet witch hunt to follow or cheer on the lady sucks but the fuck but fucking chill out with the mob mentality thanks and go fuck yourself yeah like yeah you know like those people like those people having the
you're, you know, fucking around with each other there at the Oasis concert.
Um, which was another fucking great joke.
Liam had.
He addressed that.
He's like, yeah, there's no cameras on you.
It's 2025.
We don't give a shit what you're doing.
Yeah, that whole thing where, like, something, like,
So those two people were at that cold play thing.
Like the people who then have to go out and try to hunt them down, find out where they work,
and try to get them fired and ruin their jobs, ruin their careers, because of what?
For what?
You're not doing it for the people that they're cheating on.
You're just doing it for your own fucking entertainment.
Yeah, it's a strange place.
I've been off social media now for the better part of a month and do not miss it.
Do not.
It's funny, right?
And now all of a sudden, after a year of not thinking I had the time to figure out the Starship Enterprise that is the faring on that fucking Harley, I'm just up there.
You know, I started reading again and then all of a sudden the idea of like picking up a owner's manual wasn't as intimidating.
Like, I keep saying this, I'm telling you, dude, like, they want you, they don't want you to fucking think.
This is like, I think what we're heading towards with these nerd billionaires and these fucking robots is going to make the Nazis look like a fucking three-day weekend.
I think, I literally think that they are going to just lull us into not being able to do anything.
and every device in your house will have an app.
It will be tracking you the entire time.
You're not even going to know, like,
there's going to be a generation of people
that doesn't even know how to know how to.
They're not going to know how to.
All you're going to do is just be like ushered in and ushered around.
Like you ever see like these pro athletes who've just,
they crushed it their whole career,
Hall of Fame professional career.
They never had to think about what they were going to eat.
Like everything was just set up for them.
And then they retire and they spit out the other.
side and they don't have a caregiver anymore. And they have to learn how to function like a
fucking human being. I think they're just going to lull us all to sleep. Take away as many
skills. There's going to be no carpenters, no nothing. It's all going to be done by AI. And then
we're going to be so fucking useless, we won't even be able to defend ourselves. And they're just
going to us into whatever fucking mass camp to get rid of us. I mean, I really have to
to be honest, that fucking billionaire who said,
do you think the human race should survive
and he had to, like, think about it?
Like, the level of money and power
that that guy should have, like, that guy should be,
that guy should be eliminated.
He should be removed
from society. Those people, they are
fucking insane people.
Insane people. But they're nerds,
you know?
They're not good-looking people. They're not fucking
cool. So everybody's looking at them like, they're
harmless. I don't know.
It's kind of frightening.
So I don't know.
I think you have better things to do than wait around on social media for someone to say the wrong thing or make a mistake in their life so you can follow that story for like your own entertainment.
Like some of the shit that's out there, I'll tell you what's fucking wild to me is one of those stupid streaming services, there's evidently a reality show about two parents dealing with the fact that their kid committed a murder.
It's like, who the fuck would watch that?
That's entertainment?
And don't even say you're watching it as a parent to try to figure out what not to do.
I mean, the fact that the parents, their kid did that and then they signed off to do a TV show.
I mean, that whole thing is just, it's a shit show.
I remember that back in the day when that Michael Jackson shit came out.
Have you seen that new Michael Jackson documentary?
I'm like, no, they're like, you got to watch.
It's like, I don't.
You know, alleged pedophilia testimony is not going to be my entertainment choice for the evening before I go to sleep.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm weird.
I mean, I think I'm just weird.
I like it, though.
I like being a fucking weirdo.
All right, clips.
Dear Billy the bitter.
Guilty is charged.
How about Billy the disappointed?
Can I do that?
You know, if you call things to light, I mean, I don't resent the fact that we're going to have cars that don't dry.
I don't resent other people's success, do I?
I don't think I do.
All right.
I guess I resent nerd success.
The guy who did Spotify.
All right, clips.
Dear Billy the Bitter, I have recently set a rule into motion with my friends and family.
It goes like this.
do not send me clips.
I like it.
If there is a current event that even borders important or serious,
do not send me a clip.
I'm tired of finding out that the thing I got mad at was in fact not the full story.
Some, yeah, rage bait.
Some of these things are very convincing and as you say,
just helps affirm yours or the person who's sending it.
it to your bias.
The amount of times some people in my life will send me some,
the sky is falling type of clips is out of control.
If you dig further into most of these, they're disingenuous.
There's some truth with an insane amount of exaggeration.
Yeah, you have to understand that there's no rules of libel or slander on the internet.
So you really should not be believing anything that you're seeing.
at least try to like Google it and see if there's enough credible things.
Here's the thing.
If you write for a newspaper and you tell a lie, you could get sued for liability or slander, okay?
Defamation and character.
What about when the newspaper's online?
Can they lie more on that and not get sued?
I don't know.
So anyway, plowing ahead.
The amount of times, some people, blah, blah, blah, there's some truth, not to mention, this
is how dumb people behave.
I'm in my 40s and I remember a time when you used to read a long article or hold on a
minute, even a book to understand the history of something before making strong claims
about the present or something.
Can you believe what Biden slash Trump slash Democrats slash Republicans did?
Clips are the lowest.
form of intellect.
Thanks for the free podcast.
I would say that it's the laziest form of intellect.
But that's good.
All right, so listen to this person.
This person's going to, like, read a book and stuff like that.
Like, I'm telling you, the worst thing about the internet is you're going to put bookstores
out of business.
and um i don't know and you're also putting privacy like the internet is just putting privacy out of
business i know you can read you can download a book and and have it on a on a tablet whatever the
fuck it is but like now they know what you're reading and all of this it's just all
and there's no pushback from any of these fucking politicians because they're all getting
fucking paid and people just still think that there's there's a good side and a
bad side when it comes to politics and it's just like no dude there's one side it's their side and
they're all getting fucking paid um and part of their job is to blame each other they just go out
it's like wrestling they just blame each other and then everybody in the crowd picks aside and
we all yell at each other is any of that new information like how many times does somebody
have to say that before people start to believe it i don't know um all right no waiters
Billy buff tits.
Lay over at JFK and we were hungry, so we went to a steak restaurant.
The restaurant had no waiters, no menus, and nobody to help us with our order.
The host told me I had to scan the QR code on the table, then use my phone to manually type in an order for everyone at the table.
After reluctantly obliging, when we got to the end of the ordering processing of my phone, we couldn't complete the order unless I gave my full name, email, and phone number.
and it still was expecting a 15 to 20% tip.
Yeah, and you know who that's going to?
The fucking owner of the restaurant.
Even though there wasn't one human in the whole process.
So my wife and I were like, fuck this, let's go somewhere else.
We checked out six other restaurants before finding out, finding one with actual humans and with menus.
Yeah, that's what you should do.
That's a little mini rebellion.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Anyway, is this normal?
I know you travel a lot.
Yeah, they do that in like Newark and all those New York ones.
And, you know, they're like, you know, one of the biggest metropolitan areas.
So you can expect that everywhere else.
What I would say is bring your own fucking food.
Fuck them.
You don't have to play the game.
And if all of us stop playing the fucking game, like we won't get sucked further into it.
anyway is this normal i know you travel a lot we've we travel a few times a year but haven't seen
this before i was ready to go hungry if we didn't find a real restaurant but my wife and kids
weren't yeah yeah they're just they're just they're walking us they're walking us slowly
they're slowly walking us to there's a camp i'm telling you there's a fucking camp at the end of
this thing avenge me red dawn
All right. Best backup QB of all time. All right, this is the last one here.
Dear Billy, Case closed. Case closed, Burr, Case Keenham. After hearing your defense of Case Keenham this past week, I wanted to write it and make the case for the best backup QB of all time.
I want to make a case for more sports knowledge like this.
all right i want to find like who who who had the longest career as a place kicker like just stupid
shit like that um i i love all this time longest tenure is a third base coach um all right
dear billy case clothes where case keith i wanted to write in and make a case for the best backup
cuby of all time although case keene himself
certainly is the type of guy you want backing up your QB.
I don't know if there can be a debate about the goat backup QB.
I'm talking about Earl Morrill, backup quarterback for six different teams over his 20-year
NFL career.
Here's a peek into some of his Hall of Fame worth accolades and stats.
Earl Moral.
I believe he avenged the Super Bowl three loss was a Super Bowl five win.
Last second field goal, Colts over the Cowboys.
That's what I'm going to guess.
Here's a peak.
Three-time Super Bowl champion, all three of which he was the starting quarterback for the team during the season.
Oh, so was the other two with the Dolphins, including the 1968 MVP season when he led the Baltimore Colts to their Super Bowl when Johnny Unitas went down with injury.
one-time NFL champion, one-time MVP,
won nine playoff games for the Dolphins
and their undefeated season.
Oh, nine games, sorry.
For the Dolphins and their undefeated season.
I did not know that on the way to this Super Bowl date.
For a 51% completion rate,
a 500 and a half percent interception rate on pace
with the top QBs of today.
20,000 yards, over 102 games.
on pace for over 60,000 yards if he were a starter with today's scheduling.
To this day, it befuddles me how this guy didn't get into the Hall of Fame.
In my opinion, he's the undisputed best backup of all time.
Who would be your best backup QB of all time?
Any favorites?
Thanks for all the laps and go fuck yourself.
Well, the problem is with his career is being a backup.
That's hard.
And then I also felt like he took the line.
share of the blame for the Colts loss in Super Bowl 3, which was like a foregone conclusion
it was considered the AFL was an inferior league.
And he lost to Joe Namath, a Hall of Fame quarterback.
So maybe that like heard him.
I would say, if I would say best backup quarterback of all time, and I would say also one of the
most disrespected QBs of all time, I would go with Doug Flutie.
Like, how many times did Doug Flutie have to back somebody up, come in and win,
only to be replaced by another 6'4, 6'5-5 guy, and then get traded again?
He had to go up to the CFL win multiple gray cups.
You know, he had like the Warren Moon career.
Like Warren Moon, like how many times did he have to fucking prove that he could play?
in the NFL by one how many championships did he have to win with the edmonton eskimos so warren moon
was racism and dug flutie was heightism he was they just didn't think you know his rollout style
would work and now look now look like i feel like kailer murray and all of these guys
michael vick and all of them like they just wouldn't let him do it um and uh
What was it? Marlon Briscoe. I always bring him up, right? Of the Denver Broncos was the first guy that I've seen footage of. And that was way back in the 60s with the Denver Broncos. And he had that style. But he was black. So the next year they drafted a white quarterback. And then they shipped his ass off to Buffalo where he became a fucking wide receiver. So I'd say Doug Flutie.
Steve Young.
But like those guys were like, Steve Young was more like waiting his turn.
So I would say more Doug Flutie.
Best backup.
I mean, there was a lot of quarterback controversies.
Vince Farragamo was a great backup.
came on to play.
Who is the Steelers?
Steelers had a great backup for Terry Bradshaw.
Another African-American quarterback.
He could play.
Man, I'm drawing a blank.
That's a tough one.
Like off the top of my head.
And a backup, I want like a legit backup.
Maybe Vince Farragamo because they had like a quarterback
back controversy
like remember that year
like the dolphins had like
was Don Strach
and David Woodley
and they would just kind of go back
and forth between the two of them
but they were both treated kind of like
backups
um
yeah I don't know
that that is that is a good goddamn
question
but it has to be like a legit backup quarterback
I don't mean that somebody that came in
and then just won the job
like a Dak Prescott you know
who took over for Tony Romo
and then never lost the job again
so I'll have to do a little
a little research
but like I actually think that like
backup quarterbacks are some of the coolest people
on the fucking team have like some of the coolest careers because they they have the
QB swagger and they and they've been the big man on campus if if you're a backup quarterback
at the NFL level you would the starting quarterback at a college and in high school so
you've been crushing ass the entire fucking time um Scott Zolak some trying to think of the
Patriots back of Scott Zolak
Scott Zolak
Matt
Kavanaugh
Oh what was the name of the guy
that fucking he came in
I'm drawing a blank dude
I have dad brain now
I can't remember anything
Who was the guy that came in
when Tom Brady the one year
he got hurt
and he had a career year
with the Patriots
and then went to the Kansas City Chiefs
and had a tough time
out there.
He was a misunderstood guy.
You know, he was driving a Ferrari in New England,
and then he went out to Kansas City,
and then they blame him because
he was flying, he was driving a fucking Ford Pinto, right?
At the time, anyway.
Fuck, what the fuck was his name?
Matt Castle.
Boom.
That's a good one.
um anyway plowing ahead here all right so i'll be uh doing a bunch of la dates uh coming up the dates
will be coming out you know like going to be doing one one or two a month uh doing thousand oaks
and then later on this month i'm doing riverside you know i'm going out to the goddamn people all right
that's where i go all right this is this is this is the fucking you know the upper deck all right
this isn't the luxury box fucking tour
I'm going out to the goddamn people.
All right.
And with that, the podcast is going to be a little short this week, man.
I had a, I don't know.
I'm just dealing with a lot of fucking shit.
My brain just isn't here today.
So I do apologize.
I'm stuttering.
I'm looking at this fucking mess of a basement I have here.
Just a bunch of crap I have to fucking take care of.
How does this happen?
How do you just accrue all of this,
or gather all of this fucking shit?
And you don't even notice it.
Down in my basement and I'm just looking at like Halloween stuff,
Christmas shit, old fucking toys.
Look at all of this fucking crap.
Like I need to rent like a fucking skid steer to come down here.
How did I get all of this shit?
I mean, I want to blame my wife.
I'm going to put out a book.
When in doubt, blame your wife.
Just don't do it when she's around.
So she can't defend yourself with facts.
I'm doing what the billionaire's doing.
I'll tell you why this place is such a mess
because these goddamn wives.
it's not because of me um anyway all right that is uh that is the podcast you guys have a great
couple of days go fuck yourselves and i will check in on you on thursday i apologize that i
haven't done any shit about the moto gp for some reason the their website is not letting me
on even though i have an account and i paid for it so i have to fucking deal with that i'm
I'm like three races behind.
I'm assuming
Marquez is just continuing to lay waste to this season.
And if he won the next three races,
I would think he's like a race away from having the whole thing sewn up.
The Marquez brothers have been killing it this year.
All right, Alex and Mark.
Okay, that is the podcast.
It's official this time.
All right, I'll talk to you on Thursday.
Thank you.
