Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byr, and it's time for the Thursday afternoon just before Friday, Monday morning podcast, and I'm just checking in on you.
Just checking it on you. See, how your day's going. I hope everything's good with you.
I had a weird, like, busy week. I'm supposed to be like, you know, taking time off, but, you know, people ask me to do things, and I say, all right, because they're fun or they're cool.
And then I don't look at my schedule, and all of a sudden it's like, oh my God, I got something fucking three days in a row.
I'm supposed to be relaxing.
Is this fucking bird going to be doing this shit the whole time?
Oh, there he is.
On top of the roof, just running this fucking yap.
You're saying the same thing over and over again.
What the fuck?
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
That's kind of perfect timing there.
Speaking of which, I, um, so, uh, what was it, Tuesday? Oh, Jesus.
Yeah. Cut it out.
He doesn't give a fuck.
Just do it.
Just sitting there with its fucking mouth open.
What are you appalled that I had the nerve?
I'm out here, too.
Ah, Jesus.
It's fucking crows.
Anyway, you're just going to have to deal with the omen in the background during this podcast.
So, um, there was, there is literally no place to do a fucking pod.
This is why people have studios.
I swear to fucking Christ.
What are the fucking odds?
What are the fucking odds?
I literally just fucking park somewhere else.
And then these two fucking construction guys come out.
They're fucking running their yaps.
I find a quiet fucking street.
And I got a fucking bird.
It won't shut the fuck up.
Jesus fucking.
Can you tell I don't have time?
Remember when Danny Glover was too old for this shit?
I don't have the fucking time for this shit.
Oh, look at this fucking old school Mustang.
That's the one I like it.
I never used to like the rear end on the 65 and 66,
but I loved the interior, the steering wheel.
and I like the 6768 rear end better
but I hated the steering wheels
fucking terrible on that car
but now I've come around
I like the 65
anyway
oh god that's so fucking wonderful
get away from that goddamn bird
I wonder if that's how Alfred Hitchcock came up
with the birds
he was trying to write some movie
some crow wouldn't shut the fuck up
and they're also like crazy
like they like if you help them out
they remember it. And if you don't, if you're an asshole, they carry grudges. According to
Instagram. So what does that mean? I don't know. So anyway, I agreed to roast this guy at his retirement
party. And I always say no to these things because I just get uncomfortable. Like, it's outside the
comedy club. It's outside my comfort zone. You have no idea what the setup's going to be. So, you know,
the further you get in your career, the more people ask you to do this shit. And eventually, you're going to
have to do it. So you got to learn how to do them. So I was a huge fan of this guy. I'm not going to
name any names, right? Um, it was a sports guy, right? So I go, all right, I'll go down and do that
thing. So, um, so I go down to do the gig. And, uh, I'm a surprise. So nobody knows that
I'm there. They're shuffling me through the fucking kitchen and all of this shit. You know,
I've written my jokes, you know, and it's always weird like roasting somebody you don't know,
Right? So I always keep it classy because, you know, if I know them, you know, they know that I'm joking.
But if I just met them, it could come off like mean, you know?
And I grew up old school roast where it was just like, no matter what you said, you felt the love and respect underneath it.
So I was like, all right, I'm going to work clean.
I'll do a lot of self-deprecating stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and a lot of that type of stuff.
So I'm standing behind the curtain waiting to go on.
and here's the thing about when you do those
when you perform at one of those athlete things
all those athletes like
they've given speeches after like games
they talk to reporters
they're on camera all the time
they speak at banquets
they do motivational speaking
like they have chops
and then they've played the game
and they have stories
and they're all guys guys
and they're funny as hell
And every time I've done one of those things, I'm always sitting in the back of the room going,
they didn't need me.
These guys are all killing it.
Like the first time I ever did stand up on something, if you can believe this, I was an unknown comedian.
I was living in New York City.
And probably all the known comedians are like, I don't want to do that.
That's going to be a weird gig.
So I was too green to know not to take the gig.
So I actually did like stand up.
in New York City
at the
baseball writers awards
like they were
literally given out
like the Cy Young Award
and huge stuff like that
and this is way back in the day
I remember Joe Torrey was there
Roger Clemens
um
Willie Randolph
who was coaching the Mets at the time
I remember he
fucking killed
everybody was killing
everybody was funny
and they were so funny
like I kind of forgot
I had to go on
And I was like, oh, my God, I got to go.
I got to follow this stuff.
So then I went up there.
And it's just like, you know, it's like pulling the emergency break.
Where it's just like, who the hell is this guy, right?
But, you know, I was able to get through it.
It was kind of fun because it was 2004 right after the Red Sox beat the Yankees and then finally broke the curse and won the World Series.
So they were a little salty about it, so, you know, and I got to tell a few jokes.
you know i got booed a little bit you know in like a playful way or whatever but uh so i just
remember doing that gig going like man that was that was just i didn't feel comfortable doing that
and i've kind of run from those things so now i'm like all these years later going i should
have been doing these things right along blah blah blah blah you know because things come up like
a buddy of mine you know just got an award and he wanted you know all his friends to come down and
say something nice about them, you know, and you can't say no to that. You say no, then it's like
what? You don't like me? So when I was getting ready to do that thing, I was like going, see, Bill,
see, you turn down all of these gigs, you attract what you fear. Now here's one you can't say no to
and you haven't done anything like this. And now you're like freaking out. Why don't you just
start saying yes to these things so you can learn how to do them? So I go, all right. So my manager
asked me to do this thing. I'll go, just give me 24 hours to think about it. And I was just like,
You know what? Stop being a bitch. Just fucking do this thing.
So anyway, I'm standing there behind the curtain waiting to do this.
And then it finally hits me. Like, this guy's like in his, you know, 80s.
Like, and he doesn't know I'm coming here.
Like the odds of this guy not having any idea who I am are pretty high.
So they go, you know, hey, you know, everybody has been coming up here.
like the intro. They all been saying, like, nice stuff and blah, blah, blah. They all love you and
everything. But, you know, this next guy is a surprise guest, you know, he's not going to be so
nice. Don't get mad of him. This was on me. Please welcome, blah, blah, blah. And I come walking
out there. And usually, if you're going to roast somebody, they're sitting down in a chair
on, like, the stage. And I come walking out, and the dude's standing there wearing like a fucking,
like a black like Hawaiian shirt
and he's got a microphone
he's just standing there
it was like super awkward
and then in the front row
is all of these
Hall of Fame athletes
there's not a face I don't recognize
and we're in this conference room
at this resort right
and I'm just like
so I'm like hey man
and I did a couple of jokes
and the dude just goes
wait a second wait a second
and he had a big smile on his
face and he goes, who are you? Biggest laugh. I mean, I saw it like everybody's head just went back
and they were dying laughing. And then I just in a playful way, I just snapped going like,
see, this is why I always say no to these things. You guys tell great stories. No one knows who I am.
I don't know why I'm here. And then everybody was dying laughing at that. And then I just start
roasting them like in a playful way. And, uh,
but he has like a microphone so he's like chiming in so we became like this comedy team so like
you know i was saying you know you built this program with blah blah and blah and he goes he goes
yes i did but that was not the order he's like the so and so's came first huge laugh i'm not
going to say the jokes and everything because it was a private thing and then finally i just said you know
usually the person's sitting down so they finally brought a chair up and they said he sat down but
He had like a microphone.
So, anyway, it was just so, like, so weird.
And the guy was, I was roasting was so funny.
And they were all laughing at me dealing with it.
And I just sort of rolled with it.
And it ended up going great.
I finished, got like a mini standing ovation.
And, you know, the guy was roasting came over, gave me a hug.
And I said in his ear.
I go, Bill Burr, comedian.
I'm a stand-up comedian, Bill Burr.
And then that was it.
And I got off stage.
And I got to tell you, I felt like a battleship was off my chest.
And I was really excited that, you know, I got through that.
And I'm not good at those things.
And I've decided that I'm just going to start saying yes to those things.
So I can turn it into a strength rather than this thing that I have to be like,
oh my god i got to go on and you know and say all this nice you know stuff about like that's the big
thing as a guy if you have to go and actually say nice things about a friend of yours or someone that you
admire there's always that thing as a guy you're like oh my god what if i get emotional you know
what if that happens because you know men we're not allowed to do that you know you can't go
dick for a meal in the middle of a stand-up set saying how much you love the guy that you're roasting
you know what I mean? So I was getting nervous about that. So I was like, you know what, I'm just going to keep myself in my nice little walled-off defensive emotional place in comedy clubs. So anyway, you know, to use the sports analogy, if you play hoop and you can't go to your left, what do you start doing? You start going to your left, and then it becomes a strength. And then, you know, you don't have to be anxious when you play, and then you can play at a higher level. So I was trying to do that comedically, so I was very excited that that happened.
Last night, I went to the Greek theater, and I saw Primus with their new drummer, John Hoffman.
And I got to tell you something, man.
I've seen that band.
I don't know how many times.
Every time I see them, they just get better and better and better.
They were, like, on fire last night.
It was, like, face-melting stuff.
I wish, you know, I wish I took some money.
mushrooms or something, but they let me sit in on one song, so I couldn't like, you know,
and I knew I was going to go early, you know, it's not like I'm a musician, so they're like,
let's get the clown out of the way early. So it was after three songs. But then I was kind of like,
you know, is this going to be one of these things if I, if I, you know, have some mushrooms like,
you know, thanks a lot, good night. And then boom, they hit. And then I'm just tripping,
trying to fucking drive home. I don't want to be doing that. So,
You know, they had the elephants jumping up and down on the trampolines and shit.
It's just like, this is the show.
And the vibe is great.
But anyways, they had, I got to sit in on too many puppies.
And I can't even, you know, I'm at the Greek.
And me and my brothers, you know, when we used to jam way back in the day,
we used to try and play, like, the few songs that,
they had where, like, Les was sort of playing a baseline that my brother could keep up with.
And, like, to just be looking up and seeing him, you know, and then seeing Lair looking back
at me, smiling and everything.
And John was, like, beyond cool.
Oh, my God, he sounded amazing.
And he had just got a brand new orange sparkle DW kit.
And I just saw that thing.
I was like, dude, that is going to look fucking sick under the lights.
And it did.
It looked like it was glowing.
And then, oh, and then, oh, by the way, Justin Chancellor from Tool was playing bass also.
And then fucking guitar center, me was up there.
And, but I was psyched.
You know, I fucked up some of the changes.
I, you know, they kind of asked me a couple weeks ago.
And I thought for some reason it was the middle of August.
So I was just writing for that roast.
And I was like, oh, fuck, it's the next day.
so I had my little drum chart and I went and I sat down and I put it down upside down
and then I had in ears which I never used and they were working of course until I sat down
and then they weren't but I could still hear the band but I was just going like what the fuck
so I messed up a couple of changes but in the end those 16th no triplets you know there's like
four fills I played the first and the third John like murdered the second and the fourth but
you know, I did the 16th note triple thing
and then just played like a quad thing.
You know, I stayed in my wheelhouse,
but it sounded, I think I pulled it off.
And, but my favorite part was when I went out to the crowd after.
And I went with my lovely wife,
and she didn't know anything about Primus.
And we were like, as we were walking in,
you know, I was running into people.
Hey, man, what's a? Hey, how you doing?
You know, and she was like trying to get a read
on what a Primus fan is.
And, you know, Primus fans are everywhere from like Grateful Deadish to like jocks to like introverts to out.
I mean, it's outgoing people.
It's just like it's a, it's a wide mass of people that don't look like they should be together, but they do.
There's some sort of through line that you can't quite put your finger on for a Primus fan.
when I went out to the crowd
and I sat
with my wife
she had this look on her face
she was going like, these guys are great
I like this. This is sort of like kind of funky
as like yeah like yeah I go
it's kind of like
you know
it's like rush meets conspiracy
theory meets like
Bootsy Collin I don't know how to like
describe it but it's fucking awesome
and like
the end of the concert when I saw my
wife chanting Primus sucks
I was like
I was telling less afterward
I go that was the music equivalent
of if my wife actually sat down
and watched a sporting event with me
and high-fived me in the end
so
anyway
so I got to do that
and then today I'm sitting in with somebody else
at like
sort of like a guitar center thing
which is where I belong, which is cool.
And then that's the end of my three night in a row getting outside of my comfort zone.
And I can't tell you, those gigs actually really help with my stand-up.
Because then to actually just do what I do for a living, you know, when I walk on stage,
it just feels like I'm playing t-ball.
So there you go
There's an old Billy life lesson there
You know
Go out in that fucking thing
That you're saying no to
Not because you don't want to do it
Because you're afraid
Just go yes
That's how I started my stand-up career
When I saw there was a phone number
And it was for a
You know
A talent contest
Find Boston's funniest college student
I went home
Set down my fucking backpack
From college
and just picked up the phone in my parents' house
and called the number
because I knew if I didn't,
I was going to sit down
and that fear was going to take over.
Maybe in the next contest.
I was just call up and do it now
before you're chicken out.
And then I did it.
And then it was like, that's it.
That's it.
Now the hourglass has been tipped over.
You know?
And when that stands out, you go on stage
and whatever the fuck happens,
happens, and it doesn't fucking matter.
it's not about doing well it's just about having the balls to go up there so that's it give
yourself permission to suck and uh then you're off and running um there you go do you ever think
you'd be taking tips from somebody went to summer school who gets angry at birds angry
birds did i really get mad at a crow for crowing outside it's not like it's
fluent in my living room. I'm an idiot. But you know what? It was bothering me. I could have
addressed it in a more healthier way, but I did. I got away from my head, healthy boundaries. And then
what? Look at me now. I'm sitting behind a 65 Mustang that is just gorgeous to look at,
but makes me a little sad because it needs, it needs to be washed. It's kind of making me feel
like it doesn't have any love. You know, I always wanted one of those when I was a kid,
and then I got into cars and so many of the other ones. And I kind of realized to have a Mustang
was sort of hacky like there was so many of them and so many people had them um but now i don't know
i've come around i kind of like him again look at that fucking lizard just crawling on a wall
sideways going past me in the other direction to have those spider-man skills and you know
it's still going to get killed by a snake it's just fucking unbelievable
What's it trying to kill?
It's fucking insane.
I know this is difficult, but this is nature.
God, I hate that.
I hate when people do that.
I know this is hard to watch, but this is nature.
Why are you acting like you're out in the fucking serengetti right now?
You're on a computer or on your phone just like me.
Oh, Billy Bookworm.
Oh, Billy Bookworm has been majorly off his phone.
fucking major bruh
off my phone
and I've been reading
and it has been fantastic
for my brain
now if I could just stop drinking
four fucking cappuccinos every day
I've gone off the rails with the coffee
there's always something
is he you know
it's always something
um
so
I've been doing that
I've been getting along great with my wife
which has been fantastic
and then she's uh
she got me in this show
the valley
and there's this dude on the oh I told you about that
this fucking dude man
you know he's battling the bottle
you know which I can fucking relate to
but man the level of his denial
is just it's fucking fantastic
and the last time
the last episode
he got confronted
about his drinking problems
with a guy who has problems
with blow not only does have problems with blow
he was fucking gacked out of his mind telling this guy
that he needs to work on his fucking drinking problem
and I get empathy for all of them
anybody with like addiction shit
because I've figured out over the years like
I don't have that blow up your whole life addiction thing
but I'm definitely on the spectrum
so anyway I was just watching this guy
and it's actually scary
because the guy is well into his 40s.
You can't do blow in your 40s, okay?
And I got to tell you, that is the truest thing
I've ever said on this podcast.
Like, you cannot, you shouldn't ever do blow.
But if you're going to do cocaine, you can't, like,
once you're, I think north of 32,
forget about fentanyl or whatever,
how would the fuck you say it?
All of that shit.
I just mean if it's just regular old school cocaine,
you can't do that shit.
past your early 30s your heart just cannot fucking take it so uh the dude's face and his chest
are all fucking red and he's just confronting this guy i'm just like i mean this is like i know
it's a reality show but it is an amazing like documentary on addiction and how you know
you know the denial of it you know the whole you know just that whole i don't have a problem you
have a problem? I'm gacked out of my mind and I want to confront you right now but you're
drinking problem. That's fucking amazing. That is, yeah, that is like you're just bend in the
matrix to fit your own fucking reality. Anyway, let me do, let me do some of the reads here
for this week. And then I'll wrap this thing up talking about my red star.
All right, Lucid, everybody, which I used to meant, I thought it meant scatterbrained.

They literally said, read that fast.
How fucked up is that?
Is it as fucked up is Phil's coffee?
Somebody was telling me that they told all of their workers that, yeah, your shares in the company are no longer valid.
So now there's going to be a class action suit from the employees, because they know as the cunts at the top, they have all the money, and they'll just bleed them dry and set a lot of court for way less money.
Fucking over your own employees.
Fuck Phil's coffee.
I got a question for you, who the fuck is Phil?
When it's a chain, Phil's coffee.
Like he's some guy in the neighborhood.
Fuck that place.
Fuck Starbucks.
Fuck all of those places.
So sick of that shit.
Where's the government to step in?
They know what they're doing.
They know what they're doing.
You can't fucking do that, and it's not legal,
and they're going to get fucking sued,
but they're going to win.
Can you imagine that?
Like the fucking greed of that.
They just sit around on the legal side of stealing.
God damn it.
The worst thing we ever did was deregulate everything.
And all of that bullshit, you don't want government in your life talking to me, you know?
They didn't want that.
The corporations didn't want them in their lives because it prevented them from doing shit like this.
The fucking cunts.
Heartless fucking cunts.
All right, moving ahead.
Let's talk the Red Sox.
once again
fuck Phil's coffee
and Starbucks
fuck all of those people
anyway
we're starting with the coffee
and then I'm moving the best buy
yeah I watched the Red Sox yesterday
you know
we had a tough game
we had a new pitcher in there
and whatever he's getting used to it
you know they had a couple of cunty little flares
or whatever
May is the guy's name
he's a ginger he's got a mullet
I'm hanging in there with them.
But what I was happy was Mike Yostremski went from the Giants to the Royals.
He was in a bit of a slump with the Giants when we were playing him.
So, you know, I grew up watching his grandfather, so I was really psyched.
He's on a new team, got a new lease.
And he was two-for-two with a run scored.
His first two at bats, single and a double, I think.
And it was all right.
It was all right.
That's just how old I'm getting.
It's like Carlyos Remsky's grandson is playing in the lead.
Bobby Witt Jr.
It's like the star.
I remember watching Bobby Witt play.
He was from my hometown.
Really fucking cool.
So anyway, I'm going to watch a little bit of Red Sox.
Oh, no, I've got to play some drums today.
And then that's it.
That's the end of Billy Make a Wish this week.
So anyway, what else?
Do I have anything else?
Been going to the gym.
Losing my fucking.
can spare tie yeah and uh yeah i think that's it yeah you go there's a there's a little 30 minutes
here you can listen to the music now uh from the picked out from the amazingly talented
andrew themless and then afterwards we'll have a bonus episode of the thursday afternoon
just before friday monday morning podcast have a great weekend you cunts um spend your money
at mom and pop places all right stop looking at people about whether they wear a red or a blue tie
stop fucking being a racist idiot
realize that all regular people
we're all on the same boat
we're all getting fucked over by the same people
that's it
all right
so fuck them
and uh you know
I feel like the pushback has happened
I mean CEOs are getting
so many CEOs have been getting
whacked mainstream media is now
like lying about it
and trying to create the
oh they were actually trying to go
to the NFL? Were they? Is that what he was doing? I don't buy it. And, um, you know,
this is not surprising at all. You can't do this to people for too long. Eventually,
you're going to do it to the wrong person that doesn't give a fuck and something crazy is going
to happen. This is very easily stopped. You don't have to make up stories. What you could do
is stop being so fucking heartless and greedy. And then magically, you're not, you're not

Hey, what's going on?
It's Bill Byrne.
It's time for the Monday morning podcast from Monday, August 7th.
Lucky 7, 2017.
What's going on?
Dude, he yelled, he said 7, I thought 7, and then he yelled lucky 7.
Dude, I'm going to play that fucking number.
Dude, I'm going down to Christy's, and I'm getting me a fucking set for life, getting
seven of them.
Why can't I fucking hear myself?
I'm screaming loud enough, aren't I?
You know, people, when you're not talking about,
talented what you have to do is yell
if you don't believe that
watch my fucking last
fucking whatever
I mean I don't know how many special I've done
you know
when you're talking the amount of shit I do
why can't I hear myself the way I want to hear myself
why can't I hear me
the way I used to
am I going deaf? Is that what's going on?
How's that? Is that too much?
Hello, hello, test one two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two.
The fuck is what this thing?
Do I have it on some sort of fucking parental mode?
You know, hearing loss is one of the number one causes of hearing loss in 2017,
because these earbuds that are all the rage with the children,
I actually had time today to go over and go play drums today,
and I put on a fucking ADD clinic.
Jesus Christ, I like practice 9,000 things, got better at nothing.
That's how I practice.
Hey, let's do double bass for two minutes.
Hey, let's work on singles and doubles.
Hey, let's do the jazz ride pattern.
Hey, let's fucking do some bottom triplets.
All right?
Just kept going and going.
But you know what?
I didn't sound that bad.
I had a good time.
I fucking love that kit, though.
I had the small setup.
A lot of you guys gave me shit because I had fucking three floor times.
Like, oh, what's your dirt one for?
You fucking keys and your fucking toupee.
I don't own a toupee.
All right?
You can't own a toupee.
It just, you know what I mean?
Although I bet they make them really good right now,
but it would just be like wearing this fucking hat you could never take off.
You know, you wake up in the morning and you got your little roller, you know,
with the glue, you know, and you're just fucking going over your scalp.
You know, you're doing that and your wife comes walking in.
I mean, Jesus Christ, I mean, she's going to be banging another guy within three days.
If your fucking woman walks in while you're gluing hair to the top of your head, all right?
and she doesn't leave you, that woman is a saint.
You know what I mean?
I love the guys who have like the fucking, the toupee
and then they can't even get like the sides to match it.
You know what I mean?
It's like, dude, are you fucking colorblind?
Do you really think that that's blending into what you got on the sides?
You know what's funny too is when you go down the toupee road.
They don't, I don't know.
As far as I know, they don't make any white ones, like, if you're an older guy.
So then you've got to dye the shit you got on the side.
Right?
So then it just makes people look at your head.
Like, you're just like, this guy's like 60.
How does he have jet black?
Oh, good Lord.
Look at that fucking thing.
Jesus.
You know, I don't like about toupees.
Actually, hair plugs now is they're too good now.
You used to be able to tell.
and you could really fuck somebody up in conversation
you all need to do
I don't give a fuck how smart they were
I all you do is just kind of look up at it
and then look back at them
and then they were just fucked
for the rest of the conversation
and those days are gone now
because they got too goddamn good at it
so anyways I was playing
you know playing all the drum shit
and at this point
because my drum teacher is out on the road
I haven't been taking any lessons.
You know, drum teacher, Dave Eilich, out with the night game.
Opening for Dave.
No, not that one said Dave Matthews.
No, John Mayer.
Opening for John Mayer.
With Steve Jordan on drums.
Jesus Christ.
You get to see Dave Eilich and then you get to see Steve Jordan.
How about that?
Hey, there's a fucking evening for you.
You know?
That be enough for your goddamn millennials?
Yeah, so I haven't been taking lessons, but so I just, it's actually kind of been a good thing because I can go back to all this shit that I never fucking got down that he showed me while developing new bad habits.
But I know, I'm kidding.
Anyways, I'm having a great time.
So people give me shit because I got the three floor tombs, but this is why I did it.
This was the method to my madness.
All right, I got 12 inch rack, then I got a 14, 16, 18 floor tom.
So, and then a 22 kick, right?
So, I hate having two racktoms, but I ended up ordering another one.
So I got a 12, and I got 13 comments.
So now I can go big or small people.
Big or small.
I can either go 12, 14, 16, or 13, 16, 18, depending on whatever the fucking, whatever song I'm going to go butcher on the goddamn comedy jam.
All right?
Why can't I just have a hobby without people criticizing it?
Why can't people just say, hey, nice drum kit?
Dude, what do you got the third fucking floor talk for?
Did that just take it?
Jesus.
I don't know.
So I'm trying to get out of the fucking, the bottom, uh, death spin.
I went on for fucking 30 years.
I'm just trying a different setup.
That's all I was doing.
Got more goddamn shit for that.
Um, that in saying nuclear instead of nuclear.
You know?
I love the word police.
You know what I mean?
It's just like,
are you going to get in life with that you know it's not nuclear it's nuclear i've always said
nuclear always said it it sounds right to me rolls off the tongue a little bit easier than
nuclear it's a nuclear weapon not nuclear laughing my ass off let me ask you this where are you

I mean, tell me how that's holding me back.
That's what I want to know.
And I know I'm kind of harping on this,
but this is like the 900th word
you guys have fucking corrected me on it.
I don't give a shit.
I like nuclear.
Sounds like it's more fucking,
like the missile's spinning a little bit more.
Nuclear.
Like nuclear, keep it clear.
Here it comes.
Nuclear.
It's like, well, it's a little shoulder roll in there.
Nuclear.

I'm keeping it.
Fuck off.
You know, do you guys like write fucking Jay-Z every time he says ho?
And you're like, actually, it's horror laughing my ass off.
I bet you don't, right?
Because you're liberals.
You know, but you fucking white male fucks up and what do you do?
You hold my fucking alabaster feet to the fire.
don't you?
I've had a little bit and I've had enough of it.
All right?
I've had enough of people trying to make me not sound.
Like I'm ashamed of how stupid I am.
I'm not, okay?
I saw the carrot, man, and I walked towards it.
I knew what I was good at.
I knew being a loudmouth fucking moron was what I was good at.
And I just did that, okay?
I'm not going to ever be in a classroom teaching people how to spell or
pronounce shit, okay? So let it go. The ship has sailed. There's no hope for me.
All right? But you know what the drill is? The real reason people, they're not doing it for me.
They're doing it for them to show how smart they are. Oh, it's not turtle. It's turtle.
Laughing my ass off. I know how to say that fucking amphibian's name. Oh, but actually, it's not an amphib-will-you stop it.
It's not an amphibian.
An amphibian has the ability.
Shut the fuck.
You know what are those people?
Are they practicing to be on a game show?
Is that what it is?
That's like the smart way a person plays the lottery, I guess, right?
The lottery, you just can be a dope like me going,
dude, you see that nuclear weapon?
And then you go in, let me get a fucking set for life, right?
That's how I try to make it.
Okay?
The smarty pants who can do the fucking,
who can actually do.
the New York Times crossword puzzle is now, you know, trying to get on like Wheel of Fortune.
Because, you know, that's like the fucking dumbest crossword you can do.
Whatever the fuck.
Is that a crossword?
No, it isn't, right?
It's like, guess the letters.
It looks like a crossword, but it is.
But I just love that you can be smart enough to do the New York Times crossword puzzle.
And then still, you're going to get on there, right?
And you've got to spin a wheel.
And spin in that wheel, there's no intelligence.
You just spin it.
right you can be the smartest person on the world and you're going to roll lose a turn
bankrupt and it's fucking over um i like watching jeopardy when uh you know there's somebody just
you just can't defeat this guy and all these other smarty pants get on there in their
whole life they were the fucking smartest one you know you know those people that don't
like drink and they like they play board games like let's play trivial pursuit
You know what I mean?
Let's play whatever those fucking games.
I got to tell you,
some of the saddest moments in my adult life is I've gone to parties
and all of a sudden they break out board games.
And you ever see like when somebody's on hidden video and they start looking around like
what the fuck and the crowd starts laughing?
Like that's the look on my face.
Like, yeah, they're not going to do this.
They're not doing this.
Are they?
Does everybody have to play?
Like, I don't want to do this.
I don't want to.
Do one of my five years old?
You know, are we trapped in a fucking cabin and then there's no television?
No, this is great.
You can connect with you.
I'll play some cards.
You know, I like how cards is like, you know what I'm about cards.
It's just like, there's a sleazy vibe to cards that I've always enjoyed.
Even though I don't play a lot of cards, but, you know, even like those fucking old ladies,
seen some old lady with their bony fingers, fucking shuffling, not even looking, talking some shit.
She's got her favorite little candies right to the right, you know, in a dish.
You know, I saw an old-schooled old lady today.
I was down at the grocery store buying some fucking food, right?
And this lady comes around the corner.
She had on like this turquoise blazer with like some sort of brooch.
I forget what she had underneath it.
She had white slacks on, white shoes, and a white purse.
just old school dressed to the fucking nine she looked great total fucking class act
made me miss my grandmother
my grandmother was a sharp dresser they always those people they knew how to
fucking dress you know what I mean and then they buy a pair of shoes and god damn it
they took care of them not like us today you know
well every black person I knew they always took care of their fucking sneakers you know
keep the fucking things looking brand new
you know taking out a goddamn
you know the nail brush
scrubbing the sides
right
that was another white privilege moment right
how you could just have dirty sneakers
and that was okay
what man I went outside
and they got dirty man
he'll keep watching me just
he's always going to be dirt out here man
I remember when it Patrice
used to give me shit for my sneakers being dirty
I was just like I mean a fucking
beauty pageant
he's like Bill if you were black
and you walked out
I'm like, I'm not black.
This is totally socially acceptable for me.
I get it.
You have new sneakers on.
Congratulations.
Anyways, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
I'm doing this Sunday night because, as always,
I have a million things to do during this time of year as we're writing season three,
three, three of family, family, family.
We're going to be recording.
episode three and writing episode four this week big shit going we're almost at the clubhouse turn
here no that's actually the coming down the back stretch you know i think we'll have five
written and recorded by the end of this this month and i know what you guys are thinking so what does
that mean it comes out in december oh no no there's like 40 different other things you have to do
it over the course of the next i don't know how many months before it finally fucking comes out i have
no idea.
We were joking one time. I think by the time we do the sixth season, I'll be in my late
60s.
But I have to tell you, I really fucking like it. I really like doing it. And I really
enjoy being in the writer's room. You know, some days it sucks when like the shit just
isn't working and my brain isn't working and I'm fried. Some of those days suck.
But generally, but then, you know, everybody else is saying funny.
shit so that makes you get going, you know, but I actually really, uh, enjoy writing dialogue.
Who would have thought, you know? In a way, I can, you know, some guy who says nuclear can actually
write a fucking episode of television, you know? Just think about that. Okay, think about,
think about that. And then stop complaining about who's president right now, okay? If you can say
nuclear and then you can fuck, I mean, I, George Bush used to say nuclear. The amount of people that
fucking laughed at him and I want to be like hey are you bilingual can you also speak
Spanish huh did you go to Yale the guy went to fucking Yale all right I don't give a shit if
his dad got him in a what he's a legacy he still went there he still got that education
still got to be a member of the the skull and bones I think that's why he had that laugh
because he knew he didn't belong there he knew he got he just got pushed down that
fucking road you know what do you think he really wanted to do i think like what you do after your
president really lets people know how much you love the job you know what i mean and like he just
fucking dis it bill clinton he's still you know bill clinton was all about the horse you know so
he's still he's still out there giving speeches how are you doing nice fucking tats right he's still
out there you know
Jimmy Carter is building
fucking homes you know
and then you got fucking
George Bush he's just
he's fucking hanging out like a trust fund kid
he's just sitting around Peyton
did you ever see that documentary rich kids
like one of the saddest fucking things
I've ever seen in my life was
like
these people
they were born into such wealth
like one of them was they
they were part of the Johnson and Johnson family,
which I think a lot of people don't know what that is.
But like when I was growing up,
everything was made by Johnson and Johnson.
I'm sure they got bought out, whatever.
But when,
I guess when they bought that out,
Johnson and Johnson, they built it in that their kids
would always just be taken care of
and would have a, I don't know,
a position of the company.
They were just getting money.
It's this fucking beast
that Johnson and Johnson built.
Just the inertia of that fucking thing
just tearing through the capitalist economy, right?
Was just so big that they just, they just like,
they get the skim.
Remember fucking casino, the skim?
The kids still get the skim.
And the fucking skim alone,
they get a little fucking duffel bag of cash that they don't ever have to work in
their life, right?
And you would think that that would be, dude,
that would be the fucking greatest thing ever.
That would be the greatest thing ever.
And it kind of turned out that it wasn't.
I think it would be the greatest thing ever if you actually live the other way first.
But even then, I think it would get boring after a while.
Do you think you could do it?
I think if you just had enough money where you never had to work again,
my thought would be, well, the next big thing in my life is I'm going to die.
That's the next eventful thing.
I have no deadlines.
I have no worries.
Oh man
I would get like
Psycho obsessed with shit
You know
Like I do already
But then like my real life takes off
I don't fucking play drums
I don't fucking play all fucking time
And then like my real life
To hey you gotta go to the writer's room
And then it eases it off
Like if I just fucking was sitting there
Like when I was talking to you guys
About that building
In Manhattan
The one that looks like a giant cigarette
Something Park Avenue
and I was like, what in the fuck is that thing?
That thing's bigger than the Freedom Tower.
And I went back and I looked at those pictures that they have from the penthouse in that building.
And that bathtub, you know that bathtub everybody has now?
It's shaped like the fucking Chicago Bears Stadium.
You know that one, that freestanding one?
It's not on legs.
Like, it's big.
The ladies love it, evidently, right?
And it's right up on the fucking window.
And you can just look out.
out all the way south of Manhattan, past the Statue of Liberty, to see the fucking, you
know, whenever the Germans come to attack us again, you know, this person in the fucking tub
is going to see it first, right?
The Japanese, I should say.
I just figured that side of the country, you know, the Germans would be coming, right?
With their nuclear weapons.
Actually, why would you bring it over here?
You'd just fucking shoot it off, wouldn't you?
Anyway, so I was just looking at it
I was just trying to imagine
sitting in that tub taking a bath
That that would be one of the saddest experiences
That you could possibly have
It looks so fucking lonely
First one I saw was like
Holy shit, that's fucking unbelievable
That looks like
I feel like I'm in a helicopter
But you're like in a fucking building
But then just being that high up
You can't even hear the city anymore
more. Just how quiet it would be. You know, you're getting to that love, that thing that
astronauts see. You know, like the astronauts, they would go out and they would orbit the earth
and they would just look down at it and they were above all the bullshit. All the politics,
all the religion, all the fucking war, all the disease, all the suffering. And they looked down
and they were able to see how beautiful it was, the paradise that we actually live.
live in we just sit here with all this petty shit and like these guys would come back and
they couldn't talk to anybody about it couldn't give anybody else that perspective unless they
talked to a fellow astronaut so then they would just be you know pulling up to a stoplight
and they would see something they would just randomly start crying i think that would
happen if i took a bath that high above fucking manhattan and you're just looking out august man
Why can't, why can't, why isn't, why don't we ever do the right?
You'd be philosophically just saying, why don't we do the right thing?
Why are we always like, you can't, that's, that's, that's, that's the, that's the scary thing.
That's why all pilots are a little fucking weird.
There's something weird about going up there and just looking down at all of it, you know, like a higher being.
Then you also get to see what the fuck we're doing to the planet.
It's a really fucking, it's a weird thing.
And then you combine that with the fact that you're taking a bath, one of the most relaxing
thing ever, just looking down at this fucking terror.
I don't know.
I also kind of wonder, like with global warming, like, what's going to happen?
You know?
I'm sorry, climate change.
I didn't mean to shock you by saying global warming.
I hope I didn't ruin your day with those two fucking words.
Let me say climate change so you can fucking relax a little bit.
Still don't understand why they say that.
Climate change.
It's like when Halliburton changed.
its fucking name, right?
Well, they change it to.
Peaches and cream.
I can't fucking remember.
Anyways,
I was just thinking that, like,
the more, like, severe,
the weather's going to get.
Like, what will that mean?
You know,
like, we can expect some crazy storms
we've never fucking seen before.
I wonder if they took that into consideration
when they built that goddamn thing.
That all of a sudden, you know,
we're going to start getting
Like steroid era, Mark McGuire era fucking, you know, hurricanes.
You know, and this is going to be a category 19 and you're up there taking a fucking bath.
Watching this shit rolling in.
You're going to go right out that fucking window in that tub all the way down to the fucking pavement.
But what a way to go.
That porceton thing.
It'd be like the cartoons where you try to get the.
bath water back into the fucking tub it would be a hell of a death i honestly think if there is a god
you know he would fucking take extra time he would take extra time with you just being like like
just watching the game film of your death going i mean just being like you know i've seen people
die since the beginning man i this this this is this is this is definitely i never seen this one
before. I never seen somebody
in a bathtub
at 1,350 feet.
I don't know.
I don't know why I'm obsessed with that fucking building.
It's just, I don't know. There was just something about it.
And the fact that they can't sell the one underneath it, it's the funniest shit ever.
Because who the fuck's going to pay $85 million and still have somebody living above them?
Go, you fucking knock it off up there?
I mean, what am I paying for you?
Anyways, how about those Red Sox, huh?
How about those Red Sox?
But you know something, they went, they're undefeated.
They went five in a row undefeated this month, right?
And I went on the old internet there, right?
And I see here.
I looked up the standings, the baseball standings.
Yeah, that, that, that, whatever.
That was the baseball one, right?
This weekend baseball.
If you saw the highlights and actually heard an orchestra
Playing what I just played and tried to sing, it'd be tremendous.
So the Houston Astros, evidently, are the beasts of the American League.
I was all excited that we swept the White Sox.
I just realized that they're 41 and 68.
I guess that's not such a big deal.
Well, we did what we were supposed to do.
We kicked the shit out of them, man.
We won six in a row.
We've gone eight and two.
The last 10 picked up three games on them fucking Yankees.
You see fucking Aaron Judge 35th home run today?
It had the same trajectory as a base hit, except it went out of the park.
I'm telling you.
It's like fucking Paul Bunyan coming to the goddamn plate.
Loving the Indians in first place, that'd be great to see them win one.
Let's test my knowledge.
All right. Red Sox. Last World Series, 2013. Yankees, 2009. Tampa Bay. Never. Sit down. Shut the fuck up.
Baltimore Orioles, 1983.
Toronto Blue Jays. They went back to back. 92, 93. Cleveland Indians, 1948.
Kansas City Royals, 2015. Last year was the Cubs, right? Minnesota Twins.
91, Detroit, 1984, Chicago White Sox, 2005, Houston Astros,
Never sit down, shut the fuck up.
Seattle Mariners, never sit down, shut the fuck up.
This is so childish. Los Angeles Angels, 2002.
Texas Rangers, you know it.
Never sit down, shut the fuck up.
Oakland, 89.
Washington Centers never sit down
shut the fuck up
Miami Marlins
Was it 2003
Atlanta Braves is 95
New York Mets
Every Red Sox fan knows that's
1986
Philadelphia Phillies
2008 Cubs 2016
Milwaukee Brewers
Never sit down
Shut the fuck up
St. Louis Cardinals
Oh shit I don't know this one
They always win the fucking thing
Was it 2006
Or they won it this decade
Pittsburgh Pirates, I don't know,
71. The Reds
was 1990. The Dodgers
was 88, Colorado Rockies, never.
Arizona Diamondbacks, 2001.
The one time I ever rooted for the Yankees
because it was right after 9-11, I was like,
oh, it gives a fuck. I root for them.
San Diego Padres, never.
San Francisco Giants.
I want to say they won it in 2010,
2012, and 2014.
Is that right?
15 was a royal,
16 was the Cubs.
Yeah, I'd say 2014.
That's not bad for somebody who doesn't fucking watch baseball.
Was that boring to you?
I'm sorry.
Let me do, you know, if that was boring enough, let me get to one of the most exciting
parts of this podcast, listening to me read out loud.
All right, here we go.
We got one, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
I was talking to something about that the other day.
When somebody had a doorbell like that, when I had a paper route,
when I was a kid, I thought that that meant they were rich.
If it didn't just go
Bing bong
Or
That the fucking
Dentist drill one
If they actually had the one
They went
Ding dong
Ding dong
Ding dong
Ding dong
Ding dong
You know
It was so weird
As they'd answer the door
Before it
Ended
And then they're fucking
Looking at you
All right
Oh look who's here
Bado poop
All right
We're done
Right
Did we get through it all
Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
20 minutes to go
20 minutes to go
I talk about
I talked about
Did I mention
Paul Verzi has a stand-up special that All Things Comedy Network is going to be producing,
our first stand-up special, and the buzz on the road is Verzi's out there killing it like I knew
he was going to, all right? August 13th at the Terrytown Theater in beautiful Terrytown, New York,
picturesque. Tom Hanks fucking sleepless in Seattle looking fucking place, right?
Um, me and, uh, hang, God damn this fucking computer.
Fucking screen keeps shutting off.
Me and Pete Davidson.
Let me get this back on.
Me, there we go.
All right.
Me and Pete Davidson will be, uh, we'll be sort of the masters of ceremony.
We'd be warming you up, going out on stage together, giving each other shit,
trying out new jokes, fucking around.
I'm going to try to come out there in between shows.
I don't want to slow down.
the taping, but I will definitely get out there, sign whatever you got, take some pictures or
whatever. I'll try to move it along, um, or whatever, you know, whatever I can do to fucking
interact. We have a few seats left. I want to sell this thing out. It's really important night
for Paul and the All Things Comedy Network. So, uh, I'd appreciate it. If you got the time,
you want to listen to, uh, you know, some comedy. Come on down. August 13th. All right.
Plowing ahead. And I'll be at the Count Basie Theater this weekend. Out
Jersey out in New Jersey
Red Bank, New Jersey
Which is really beautiful
I might go down to Asbury Park during the day
I have no idea what I'm going to do
Because I usually stay in the city
I think I'm going to fucking stay somewhere out in Jersey
You know
Maybe I'll call fucking what's his face
Vinnie Brand Vinnie Brand has a boat
I'm terrified of the ocean
Gonna go out in the fucking ocean with a goddamn club owner
Why not? All right
Okay, here we're
go the probably with north korea dear ronald mcdonald balls north korea is a serious threat to east asia
and now too good a portion of the world i understand that so what so are we so are we
you know if you're going to play this game you know what i mean like like everybody that said the
patriots cheated if you're going to play that game you're going to play that game you're going to play that game
then you've got to see the cheating that you're doing, correct? Am I nuts here? Am I crazy?
Yes, the missile test the other day was a ballistic missile, but they can put a nuclear weapon on it as well.
Okay, and so can we. We already have ours ready to go.
Their latest test puts most of the U.S., all of Europe, and a good portion of Africa within range of their weapons.
Yes, and all of those places are in range of our weapons and Russia's weapons.
So, you know, I mean, look, I'm not saying it's great that this guy has this fucking thing,
but just imagine if he had what we had.
What the fuck would we be doing?
Wouldn't we be doing the same fucking thing?
Well, we got to get some stuff.
He's making that shit because we got our shit.
Right?
It's like when the Yankees started spending $200 million fucking dollars, the Red Sox had to spend $190.
That's what happens.
That's what happens.
And if they are actually able to successfully launch from a submarine as they are attempting to do this,
this not only increases the range, but can potentially dramatically increase the amount of time we have to respond if they were to launch a missile.
Well, what would happen, sir?
Listen, everybody knows there's no end game to this shit.
Okay? It's going to be over.
We would have time to respond.
Don't you remember, what the fuck was it, war games?
I can't believe how seriously people are fucking taking this shit.
Like, I don't think this guy's out of his fucking mind in North Korea.
All right?
I'm just so fucking sick of having to turn on the TV and have somebody who has to try this.
It's like news now is just scare the shit out of somebody and offer no fucking solutions.
And then normal people just sit there screaming at each other.
To the point that this fucking dope is taking the time to turn my person.
podcast, which is supposed to be a break from all of that shit, which is why I just say silly
shit about it, you're turning this into meet the press.
If that fucking asshole shoots one off, point it right at my house, because I don't want to
survive it.
I don't give a fuck, all right?
We have no one to blame, but ourselves.
We're fucking defective.
If human beings were cars, we would all be recalled, all right?
We do not handle position of power well, and this is what the fuck.
fuck happens.
All right?
We're fearful fucking lunatics who for some stupid reason were given the ability to fucking intimidate
nerds so they would build all this shit for us.
And now here we are.
Here we are.
All right.
All right.
North Korea also has the highest percentage of slaves in the world.
Fully, like you care, sir.
Like you give a shit.
Fully 4.4% of its population is enslaved.
That is approximately 1.1 million.
Sir, I am on an Apple fucking computer right now,
and I'm sure you typed yours on an Apple computer, too.
Those people are jumping out of the factory.
They're fucking slaves.
All the shit that I'm wearing was made in sweatshops.
Like, what are we doing now?
Now we're going to fudge the fucking numbers,
so these people look like they're out of their minds,
but everybody else is fucking okay.
This is like countries are like community colleges
where they will figure out what they're number one in
so they can fucking put it in their pamphlet.
Okay, let's read some more fucking depressing information.
This is why I don't watch the news.
And that doesn't even mention the network of concentration cramps across the nation
and the people getting less than subsistence levels of daily calories.
Well, I mean, they're also not allowed to trade with anybody, are they?
You know, they really can't get their shit going, right?
Part of that is us trying to force them into giving in to get Forever 21s in Starbucks there.
Isn't that right?
I mean, I might be wrong.
I fucking watch sports.
I watch sports.
I listen to music.
Okay?
I block all this shit out.
So I'm sure I mispronounced some words here.
To put that into perspective, about 388,000 slaves were shipped to North America from 1525 to 1866.
it's obviously a huge issue well how do you how do you put that in perspective without telling me
what the population of korea is and also 388,000 people back in between 1525 and 1866 was a way
more significant portion of the population than it is today correct so i don't know what
you're saying there sir but i do know that whenever we have an issue with the country all of a sudden
we pretend to care about its people unfortunately there isn't any easy solution to the problem even if
china withdraws their support and the regime collapses you're still looking at a potential
civil war in a nation with nuclear weapons let's just hope people smarter than you or i can find a
different solution to the problem and they won't there's only one solution got to go in there
and get him. Keep up
the good work. I love hearing you talk about
how awesome it is to be a parent
instead of constant talk about how hard
it is. As a dad of two boys, there are obviously
days when I feel like ripping out what little
hair I have left, but the vast
majority of the time is just awesome.
Look at this. He was actually just
informing me, and I got all fucking defensive, because
all this week, people said that I said nuclear
instead of nuclear.
Yes, sir. I realize he's out of his
fucking mind. I realize that person's out of his
fucking mind. The guy before him, his dad was out of his
fucking mind. Okay. Trump is out of his fucking mind. I'm out of my fucking mind. Okay. Nobody should
have weapons other than your fucking fists and whatever you can grab in the kitchen.
That's ideally, that's what that would be better. All right. I think I don't understand why war is
legal, but it is. So this is the game that we play with each other and it is fucking inevitable that one
day somebody is going to go Martin Sheen dead zone and what are you going to do you know see people
this is why I have all four sports packages because I don't want to know about this shit I don't
want to fucking sit here and watch the news and have them scare the living shit out of me that now
this is going to happen you know and some fly's going to bite me and then I'm going to have a baby
with a little head.
Somebody else is going to fucking blow me up.
Yeah, I just, I just, yeah, I don't want to talk about this, okay?
Trying to keep it light on the podcast here.
Let's just make, let's just laugh at me, not being able to pronounce words.
Don't bring actual facts into this podcast.
All right.
Girls softball team punished.
Hey there, Billy Batting Glove.
Did you hear about the girls softball team that was removed from the World Series
because of a picture of some of the players.
Flicking off the camera on social media.
One of the girls on the team is the daughter of a family friend.
It's fucking brutal.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I don't know what.
I don't understand social media.
I'm kind of over it other than for business purposes.
I just don't think it's a good thing.
That should have just been a funny picture that they all took, shared amongst themselves.
But now you upload it and everybody sees it.
And, you know, somebody's going to get offended.
Let me guess, were they the best,
were they probably were the number one seed?
This sounds like if one of those bad news bears things.
They were removed from the World Series.
Well, you know how?
You know how people are?
They try to make money.
They make money off that World Series?
Is it a national thing?
I don't know.
It's like the Colin Kaepernick thing.
Everybody's fucking flipping out
and immediately thinking that this guy's not getting hired
because of racism.
It's like the NFL is a fucking corporation.
Okay?
You know what?
They give a fuck about money.
Now look, if he was trying to get a coaching job or own a team, then yeah, I would say racism would be more obvious.
But like what he does, most of the league is black doing.
Okay?
Their thing is, they're such cheap fucking cunts.
They would rather lose a fucking game.
They probably have an algorithm going like, okay, if we get this guy and he wins a few more games,
how many jerseys will we sell versus the amount of people who won't buy a jersey because we sign this guy?
And I swear to God, if we'll sell a fucking jersey less by signing a guy who would actually make us a better fucking team,
I swear they will decide not to sign the guy.
I'm not saying there isn't racism involved, but it's really, it's fucking economics.
And what these fucking corporations try to do is they don't want any bullshit.
They want smooth fucking water.
That's what they want.
Everybody fucking just tow the fucking line.
That's what they want.
And I'll tell you, all these fucking groups that are trying to make change know that shit,
which is why they always complain to the advertisers.
Because the advertisers will then pull sponsorship from TV shows.
They'll do it from fucking podcasts.
Everybody knows that.
So the NFL is a corporation.
So that's what they're doing.
Now, I don't know what the fuck league these girls are in,
but I'm sure they have some sort of stupid conduct thing that they're trying to, you know,
trying to uphold.
Yeah, it's fucking stupid.
It's also fucking stupid to upload that picture.
I mean, how many of these dumb stories are you going to see where people get offended
by absolutely nothing and then something happens, right?
That's unfortunate.
It's unfortunate.
All right, Trent Rezna.
This is like a way more serious podcast than I ever want to do.
I don't know.
I don't know I have to do it.
I'm going to just start making up shit here.
I try to read the news, but it's just all depressing.
Although the funny one was all this shit coming out about Lady Diana now.
I just don't understand how new evidence.
20 years later, they found out that fucking she was listening to Prince Charles jerking off talking to some other lady on a toilet.
Did somebody have that tape for fucking 20 years going, hey, dude, listen to this.
I swear to God.
anybody I have this. I'm going to release it when the time is right. And then you just hear
the echoing sound of Prince Charles going, Roy, I'm getting it putting your ass. Your arse.
All right, Trent Reznor article. A Billy boy, Billy boy thought you could relate to this.
Trent Reznor talks about what it's like to meet his parents' kids. You meant to say his
kids' parents while having a body of work with lyrics like, I want to fuck you like an animal.
Yeah, I read that article, but
never underestimate
the power of celebrity, and
especially, I don't know,
he's an older dad, so maybe they don't
even know what his fucking music is.
But, you know,
I wouldn't give a shit.
I sang, I downloaded that fucking song.
I fucking loved his stuff.
That shit came out.
That album blew my fucking mind.
And I'd be like, that's Trent fucking Resner.
Hey, sweetheart, that's Trent fucking
Reznor. I wouldn't give a shit.
You know? But it's got to be weird. But then there's, of course, the people that don't like it,
you know, the people that are at like the 4-H club.
You know, what are you going to do?
He wanted to fuck someone like an animal and he expressed it.
All right. Caught girlfriend cheating after joining the military and I legally can't leave her.
What? She's your girlfriend.
All right, dear Billy Bald Balls
These are good this week
You guys usually, you know, lately
There's been a little drought
He's a fucking funny this week
All right, greetings from Scotland
Recently I quit my well-paying
job to join the British Royal Marines
My girlfriend of four years
Was very hesitant
And didn't want me to leave
But it had been a dream of mine
Since I was 14
I sat her down a week before
leaving and gave her the opportunity to separate, wait, my girlfriend of four years was very hesitant
and didn't want me to leave, but it had been dreaming. I was forcing, okay. I sat down with her
a week before leaving and gave her the opportunity to separate on good terms and maybe
continue our relationship when I had finished my mandatory four years service. But if we stayed
together, but if we stayed together and she cheated, she would be dead to me. I'm half
Sicilian, by the way. She chose to stay.
The fact that you were given her the option to leave.
I mean, how much do you give a shit about this woman?
I was in for just over four weeks and fell during a run
and a 6-6 monster of a guy stood on my leg, breaking my tibia in two places.
Oh, fuck.
I was given the choice of staying in medical custody on base and rejoined training
when I had healed or leaving for a year.
I chose to leave so I could spend more time with my girlfriend.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
I thought it would be a nice surprise to not to.
tell her i was coming home oh jesus i arrived home around nine p m on thursday oh my god to find my girl oh jesus choking on some guy's dick
wow so what is you do you throw your fucking crutches at him naturally my instinct was to beat the
shit out of the guy but i'm not too mobile with a pair of crutches i forced the two out of my house and kept my promise of
you're dead to me by changing the locks the next morning and blocking her number and social media
accounts.
Around two weeks later, I received a letter from a lawyer saying that if I don't take her back,
she can legally take half of all my assets, including the house.
My mother left me in her will because we had been together for more than two years.
What?
I thought you had to be married, but lo and behold, the British justice system.
does me another solid.
I could understand if I was away on tour from nine months and she cheated.
But four weeks, fucking four weeks, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Should I just take the loss and leave this dumb whore?
Or do I take her back and try to forget the fact that she took the first opportunity
she had to jump on another guy's bone.
Your, bones, your input would be great and maybe can put a funny twist on this fucked up opportunity for your listeners.
Dude, you need to get a fucking lawyer.
You need to get that bitch out of your life and get a fucking.
lawyer that's what you need to do all right that's one of the dumbest laws i've ever heard in my
life and that's going to cause that's going to cause people to make some really
fucked up decisions if someone can screw them that fucking bad all right over here
a statutory uh not statutory rape what is it what is it what is the fucking law when you've been
you're legally married not squirt
Waters rights. What the fuck is it? I don't know. Over here, it's like you got to be living
with somebody for like seven years, depending on the state.
At that point, they consider it's so dumb that she's entitled to half your shit, especially
if she's not making any money and you're fucking paying for everything.
You know?
It's fucking ridiculous. What a fucking cunt.
You know what I mean? I mean, how many fucking stories do they do out there about men
beating women and how awful men are
to fucking women, right?
Which obviously, they got to shine a light
on that, but look at this. She's just
fucking whore
who sucked this other guy's dick.
It doesn't, could care less about taking
half of the house that your mother left you.
Oh my God.
What a fucking cunt.
Dude, I would get a lawyer.
I would get, oh my God, I would get
a fucking lawyer.
What a fucking piece of shit.
Dude, like, I can't even, this is like making me angry
that someone could do that to somebody.
What kind of a piece of shit?
You got the kind of person that fucking blows somebody
four weeks, I feel like that.
But even then, there's plenty of women that would do that.
There's plenty of fucking women that would do that.
They wouldn't take your fucking house.
They were raised right.
If they get caught sucking a dick,
they go, you know, fair enough.
And they leave.
Jesus cry.
I would get a lawyer, sir.
I would get a lawyer and I would fucking fight this thing.
Find some fucking thing.
Oh, my God.
The advice that I want to give you, I can't say over this because I'll be liable.
Okay?
And it's like, all right, let me tell a fucking little story here.
No, I can't.
I can't do it.
I can't tell the story because I'll get in fucking trouble.
I won't.
Sir, you know what?
I would get a lawyer and handle it legally.
Don't do anything fucking crazy.
All right?
Jesus Christ, what a cunt.
I'll tell you right there, man.
You met one for the ages.
That's a first ballot Hall of Fame cunt if I ever fucking heard of one.
Good Lord.
I could see if she caught you and then out of vindictiveness then did that.
That, you know, they'd be like, well, you know, what the fuck?
But she's going to do that and then take half your fucking house.
And you know what kills me?
When she tells the story, she, I'm not saying she'll,
play the she won't be in the wrong i mean that's a fucking psychopath thank god you didn't breed with
her man jesus fucking christ jesus christ well you know what thank you for your service sir
you know what these horrors can take everything you got and there's nothing you can fucking do
about it that's how the laws are set up and i got to be honest with you dude you know worst case
scenario if she takes half your house and half the shit even still considering what the fuck
they can do to you, you actually got off easy.
Easier than a lot of guys did.
But Jesus Christ.
Can I apologize for this podcast?
I don't want to get involved in world politics.
I don't want to talk about North Korea.
I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
You know what I mean?
And for the 18 people that are going to take any of this shit fucking seriously,
