What's going on?
Starting point is 00:02:04 How are you? Oh my God. Where is the summer going? Hang on. Can someone just explain to me where the summer went? I swear to God. It was almost like it was just winter
Starting point is 00:02:19 and now it's the end of summer. There's no goddamn spring or fall anymore. I'll tell you where you can't stay anymore, the four seasons. They've got to change the name to the two seasons. You know what it is? It's because of Trump and Joe Biden, and they were listening to Obama and Bush, who had the Clinton's ears,
Starting point is 00:02:46 who talked to George Bush, Sr., and he brought it all to Ronald Reagan. And they all decided there was going to be only two seasons. Because they didn't, like having to move their shit out of the attic four times a year. They just wanted two clothes, winter and summer. And that's true. But you'll never see that on the internet because the world's afraid of it.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Sorry. Oh, my God. Red Sox lost today. What a fun-ass fucking team to watch, though. I'm having such a good time getting caught up with those guys. Marcelo Meyer is that his name 22 year old third baseman we got a 21 year old kid in left field
Starting point is 00:03:34 we're fucking young in the words of the late great Kevin Knox you're young you're young they're coming on we're in first place for the fucking wild card I think we could win the first round surprise somebody
Starting point is 00:03:48 build off of that I'll tell you they've been wearing those alternative uniforms so much it was weird to see their regular once. I gotta tell you, I fucking hate to say this, I like the green monster ones. First it was the hat and now I'm looking at the jersey and I'm like, ah right, that's fucking cool. And I love green. God damn it. Now I got, you know, so what do I do? What do I do? I go on the fucking website and the hat's all sold out. It's all sold out. You can't try to buy the hat on the day that they're wearing it because too many people are at home going, I want one of those. And I was one of those people.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I was one of those people I got left out in the fucking rain man you would think all these years sitting out there in the bleachers with all the other big-headed Bostonians they would have a hat in my fucking size and they do not although here's a good one for you
Starting point is 00:04:46 don't try to buy merch for your team when they're hot as a pistol as they always say best home record best record at home since June something. They keep saying that. And then we have the most walk-off wins of the year.
Starting point is 00:05:06 What does that all translate to? I don't know, about six games out of first place. I think the Blue Jays won. You know, and that's good, man. You know, Toronto, I don't get mad at it. Canada needs a winner. You know what I mean? Like I always felt like Canadian people never
Starting point is 00:05:26 white people in Canada never really got their due for like how evil they are you know what I mean because of because of that imaginary line we act like they're not also from Europe and there are also not from countries that began the slave trade you know they just they were just up there so they got like cut off like you remember like behind the music and there'd be some big band and they'd always be some dude who got kicked out or quit the band early on and then the band goes on to play fucking arenas you know what i mean i feel like that's what happened to the white europeans that settled up in canada like they they were like that first drummer or that rhythm guitarist he just didn't have the look you know or he knocked up his girlfriend and that was it you know
Starting point is 00:06:14 and they missed out on you know us up you know being a part of us and saying how awesome we are while, you know, oppressing people. You missed out on it. We are the Oprah Winfrey of countries, except nobody gets a car. It's just you got weapons of mass destruction, and you got weapons of mass destruction. Everybody freaking out in the audience.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Canada missed out. So why can't they be up five fucking games? in the AL East on August 18th. You got a good reason? Can you explain that to me? Why they shouldn't be up five games? I had that bad company song in my head. Ooh, I want you today, yay! And I don't know any of the music. I've heard that song, I don't know any of the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I'm ready for love. I know the hook. I keep singing the name of Billy Squire's drummer in it. The late-great Bobby Shoo-Win-Out. Bobby Shoo-Nod, Bobby Shoo-Nod, ooh, I want you to stay, yeah, all day long. And then I think about Eddie Murphy when he played Buckwheat, when I get to the chorus, I'm ready-punov. Oh, baby, I'm ready-punub. I went to the gym today, and I was singing along to the song,
Starting point is 00:07:59 and I was singing Ready Put Nub, and this woman on the treadmill just looked over and gave me a weird look, and she was one of the rare people that did not have, like, those little fucking white earplug things in. She actually wasn't listening to any music, and I just walked by going, ready put nub! Old Billy Backbend! Three quarters of the way up!
Starting point is 00:08:22 Huh? How do you like that? that how do you like that pasty is all get out white is the fucking snow on the first day of fucking the year barely any pigment barely any athletic ability ugly as a four-day bender and there he is getting three-quarters the inexplicably if you could see the level of shock on people's face when they see a fucking 57-year-old white man get on the mat make a look of pain
Starting point is 00:09:04 a wincing look on his as he anticipates the pain and getting up I mean it's literally it's like the spruce goose I'm not going to lie to you if you ever saw the one and only flight of the spruce goose down I think it was down near Long Beach it had like 19 engines on both fucking way i mean this guy was just
Starting point is 00:09:29 howard hughes was uh there was something wrong with that guy and i think it was called syphilis i think he had syphilis it entered through his his uh penile corridor and ended up in his brain this guy fucking he crashed he's crashed more planes than i have cars although i have an impeccable driving record but i've been in some accidents when i I was younger, you know, when drinking and driving was actually on the sheet to be considered an Olympic event, at the last second we came to our senses, we're like, no, this is stupid, this is killing people. All right? We already have the TT. We don't need Olympic level
Starting point is 00:10:11 drinking and driving. That would be amazing. oh my god you do a throwback 80s night okay the music the fashion the hairstyles all of that and then you have one of those figure eight race tracks and it's the fucking uh it's to drinking and driving what you got the daytona 500 this would be the day drinking 50 or something I've got You gotta somehow see 500, I don't know, the day drinking 500. And it's you and another driver. Just hear me out on this, all right? It's just you and another driver.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Everybody signed their fucking waivers. Your waivers rancheros, okay? You get into your car, right? It's all safe. You got a fire suit on and shit. You know what's funny is you would see the most accidents and the least amount of injuries. The dude driving drunk never gets hurt.
Starting point is 00:11:28 He can be ejected through the fucking windshield. And he's just, he's like one of those fucking things outside of car wash. You know, those things they blow the air up in. Just a giant Gumby. Like, you must have seen that clip with that, those people were mouthing off on the golf course. Some public golf course shit, right?
Starting point is 00:11:47 Because they don't have to worry about a membership. So they're getting after it, right? One foursome is yelling at another forcum. And it turns out one of the guys is a retired hockey player. So, of course, there's always some guy, you know, who just thinks if he yells, let's go intensely enough, he'll know how to fight, you know. Let's go. Let's fucking go.
Starting point is 00:12:10 He was doing that. And literally got into a fight with a former NHL enforcer. Now, this isn't what I want you to watch in the video. what people they're all making fun of in the he throws the fucking dude into a into a mash into a lake
Starting point is 00:12:29 into a pond into a sound I don't know how big the water is a lake throws him into the fucking pond the kid comes comes out of the fucking pond
Starting point is 00:12:41 like Jason in Friday the 13th um and it like it wasn't enough for going into the pond didn't sober him up at all. He was just like, that's all you got. It's all you got.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I'm going to walk up to you in squishy fucking sneakers and socks right now. Coming up to you. So he goes after the guy again. And this is when I'm telling you why drunk drivers never seem to get hurt
Starting point is 00:13:10 and everybody else does, when the hockey player fucking throws that guy, the complete lack of resistance, that he has to any of it. He's like a fucking newspaper in the wind. He just goes with it. He's like, like, jello.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And he just fucking lands, and he pops right back up again. Nothing. Shoulders not blown out. Didn't break his collarbone. What gets you hurt is you go, you fucking tense up and everything's all fucking rigid. But this guy, he went, I'm telling you, he went like, he just got, there was nothing he could do.
Starting point is 00:13:59 It was like, he just fucking went with it, and he landed and fucking popped right back up again. So anyway, everybody's, you know, making these memes about this guy getting thrown or whatever, but they're missing the lesson here. The lesson here is if you're drunk enough, in a fight and somebody throws you on grass or
Starting point is 00:14:25 into a fucking body of water like did nothing's going to happen your clothes are going to get wet you're going to have to go to the dry cleaner all right if that dude was stone sober go let's fucking go I'm telling me he got thrown into the somehow his head would hit a fucking rock
Starting point is 00:14:41 when he came out and that dude threw him he would have tried to fight it and he would have like broke his fucking neck his foot would have got spun around Something would have happened. But he was prepared. This man was shit-faced. So nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:14:58 He took like 12 punches from a former NHL enforcer who was also making sound effects as he was punching him. He was going, bang, bang, bang, all of them, waiting for the knockout punch. This dude was like Tex Cobb, just fucking eating all of them. he took like 12 punches from an retired NHL enforcer
Starting point is 00:15:24 was thrown in a fucking lake and then hurled like I haven't seen another human being get thrown like that since back in the day on wide world or sports they used to try to find the best bouncer in the United States I swear to God this was true
Starting point is 00:15:38 in one of the events it was like how you could kick somebody out of a bar like you throw them out of a bar so they had stuntmen midgets with like these these fucking I don't know, these belts on that they could just pick up and out you go. And they would throw these little people. This was on television.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Big, roided up men with mustaches throwing midgets. And it was part of a sports program. And that was back when you could buy a lazy boy that had a built-in ash, tray in the fucking arm and you were ready put nub oh baby you were ready put nub um anyway i had a fucking epic epic epic epic dad weekend with the kids just making up for all that time i was doing the play i'm going to i'm going to give you an example of the kind of days i'm having with my kids all right and this
Starting point is 00:16:48 like the dad day I had just on Saturday was like I was dialed in like Wayne Gretzky was it 1982 when he scored
Starting point is 00:16:58 96 goals when it didn't even seem like how to fucking somebody even do this shit I did the dad version of Wayne Gretzky in 1982
Starting point is 00:17:06 I'm talking shit somebody needs to throw me in a fucking pond um arms never went out didn't even try to break his fucking fall peaches fucking woo he enjoyed the goddamn ride um so don't ever forget that you know somehow the gorilla ever breaks out of the zoo and just grabs you by the throat and throws you across the fucking parking lot don't fight the
Starting point is 00:17:36 gorilla just go with it you know enjoy the ride on the pavement underneath that park bench just stay there just stay there and let that fucking thing pick somebody else um so this is my day i woke up i made two dutch babies my kids that's their favorite breakfast so they're getting bigger now so they they want one each right so i made that then we drove around my neighborhood in my old truck and they both took turns steering it my daughter also used the turn signal then I got some gas I went out to breakfast
Starting point is 00:18:22 get myself something the to-go thing and I got them some cookies then we went back to the house I met my mother-in-law we went bowling and there was an arcade there and there was a bar there I mean this fucking place you could
Starting point is 00:18:41 if they ever did the Big Lobowski again like this fucking place was amazing um and i'm not gonna lie to you i got thirsty when i was there i was like this is the kind of place that old billy freckles were day drinking because the bar they took the fucking bar the bar was all the way up you know it's a classic bowling alley layout you walk in you see all the lanes it's amazing like walking into a ballpark when you come out from underneath and you walk up you see all the fucking lanes all right And then you see, like, there was an arcade in the corner, and then there was a place to get food. And it was like that hockey rink food, that's, you know, the square pieces of pizza, all that bullshit.
Starting point is 00:19:24 But then tucked her all the way around the corner was this bar. I couldn't believe Steve Buscemi and John Goodman, you know, weren't sitting there drinking with, like, Hawaiian shirts on. And I looked at that. And it was great, too, was it was like, it was a three-sided bar, like, up against the wall. And there was a way to walk all the way around to the backside and get that last chair on the back side and just sit there just getting fucking hammered
Starting point is 00:19:57 and nobody even knows. You know what I mean? And I'll tell you right now, and I'm not going to tell you later. I'm going to tell you right now, somebody, if I was in there for fucking three hours, could pick me up like that dude in the golf cars and throw me down one of those alleys and you would get a fucking strike and I would not get hurt at all
Starting point is 00:20:13 and I would just get up with the same look as that kid and you could do it again I would be that perfect level of fucking hammered that I should not be driving but I cannot get hurt if you throw me it's when we went bowling
Starting point is 00:20:30 and then we were driving down the street and there was a random motorcycle store so I brought the kids in there and they were checking out the motorcycles and they've you know kids love motorcycles um and then we came back to the house we had a late lunch and then we went swimming and my kids just fucking attack me the entire time i'm in the pool like my son swims at me with his his hand at his forehead trying to look like a shark fin
Starting point is 00:21:04 and then he pops his head out of the water and he tries to bite me and my daughter's always going under the water she's grabbing my legs and shit and I finally just said can you guys just let me enjoy the pool you know how come you don't do this to your mother you only do this to me and my daughter goes because you let us and it's like well I'm not letting you now and then she goes yeah but we know you're not serious which I was serious but what she said was so funny I laughed and then it started back up for like another 20 minutes yeah they're insane i'm not a person to them i'm a fucking bouncy house like my daughter's like dad walk to like more towards the deep end so you're underwater
Starting point is 00:21:53 so i can stand on your shoulders and jump off of them i don't know i should be like no that's going to hurt i'm old but instead i go all right does this mean you like me and uh yeah That was it. That was one day. That was one day. And then this morning we woke up, you know, we went out, went out to breakfast. I had the kids steering the truck again in the neighborhood. Got my son to do it. He was a little nervous about doing it. And then he started doing it. We're like, buddy, buddy, buddy, back to the right, back to the right, back to the right. He would be like laughing, looking at his sister. I had to like fix it or whatever. But I don't know. I'm really having a great time with them enjoying these last few. few days before they go back to school, you know, and I keep running into parents, you know, and they just keep saying, you know, goes by fast, you know, it's like slow and fast, all the same, that's all they say. It's like they try to, it's like, dude, I'm sorry that you're sad. Your kids are grown up. How old are your kids? Oh, eight and five. Oh, that's such a
Starting point is 00:23:07 magical age grow enjoy it enjoy it because they grow up so fast and then fucking awful things awful things it's like all right all right yes like they always every fucking parent that has grown up kids always says it goes by fast it goes by it's like i i know it does and someone said that to you and there's nothing you can fucking do about it so stop doing that because my kids are still eight and five I want to fucking enjoy. Just stop putting your fucking sadness onto me. You're not talking to me right now. You're talking to your younger self.
Starting point is 00:23:45 All right? I'm in the pool. I'm letting them drive my truck down the street. All right. Stop fucking giving me anxiety, you cunts. All right. Ooh, I want you to shut the fuck up. Anyway, oh, Billy, elevation.
Starting point is 00:24:05 about ready to take my drumming to a whole new fucking level I don't know why I got all intents about that I for the longest time had wanted to get a high hat a fixed high hat on the right hand side of my kit so I can play along to all this double bass shit that I loved growing up
Starting point is 00:24:32 all right and that's everything from Metallica Slayer uh Primus um Pantera Van Halen
Starting point is 00:24:53 Motorhead what else even Tommy Lee threw in some double pebble shit every once in a while we had a double base for a while up until he had a double base until 1989 when he went on the doctor feel good tour but right up through girls girls girls he had a double base and he was a pearl guy and then he switched over to dw yes i do know all of this shit so anyway that's going to be my next move to try to fill up the void
Starting point is 00:25:33 is going to be my next move. Bill, nobody's saying nobody's saying you can't do it, you know? All right. Sorry, sorry, just get like a little intent. You know what it is? I'm fucking so excited that I have
Starting point is 00:25:51 all of this fucking time off. Like, I ain't doing shit for the rest of the fucking year. Except doing shit like that. Like playing with my kids and buying a fixed high hat. That's it. And avoiding people that have grown up children, so I don't have to listen to them tell me how fast it goes by. I am enjoying every second of it. I have spent more fucking time with my kids in the last month than any kid from my generation
Starting point is 00:26:28 got from their parents, their entire upbringing. We were just fucking outside. Go outside. Just go outside. That's what it was. Go outside. I'll tell you know what's funny is
Starting point is 00:26:41 I never heard anybody from my parents' generation talking about, you know, it goes by quick. I guess you wouldn't say that to a kid, though, right? They were just different. You know what it was? fucking internet there was no social media so like parents used to fucking hang out with each other you know and just get ripped you know it is funny about fucking alcohol is if you keep drinking at a certain level past a certain age you just fucking red as far as like a white
Starting point is 00:27:23 person you know like last night i was at this event and And, you know, I'm telling you, that bowling alley with the bar kind of, you know, I wasn't going to do anything. But that was like a fuck. Every once in a while. Because usually 99% of the time, I'm like, I'm so psyched I don't drink anymore. But every once in a while, oh, you know what I mean? It's like a retired baseball player smelling the fresh cut grass. Just like, hearing the sound of a ball hitting a bat.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And he just, oh, man, I wouldn't love to go up there and just fucking. and take a couple of cuts. Yeah, well, I'm not an athlete. I was a functioning alcoholic, so I get that feeling when I look at a bar. Like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Dude, back in the day, me Bartnick Verzi
Starting point is 00:28:18 in a bowling alley bar during the fucking day, that would be one of those hangs that we talked about 10 years later. trying to remember what the fuck we were laughing at oh my god that's what i actually feel bad for oligarchs like do they have that do they get to have that moment do they ever just get to go get hammered in a bowling alley bar can they take the time to just fucking and enjoy that or are they too busy thinking about like looking everybody bowling thinking about how much money they're making off at each one of those people.
Starting point is 00:29:04 You know, like oligarchs, like when they go to some orgy and they're all dressed up like different animals and stuff, like do you really get that fucking high school cafeteria laugh in the middle of it? You know, when they're sacrificing a virgin, is there, I don't know. It's a different world. But you definitely, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:27 you think about it so anyway uh last night i went to a went to this event electing people into the uh television hall of fame and um it was one of the most fascinating the group of people that they inducted and they went through their whole careers The stuff that these people did, and then what people said about them before they brought them up and what the people said when they were up there, like, you know, those award shows go on a long time. This is the only award show I've ever been to where the whole thing was fascinating to me. Put it this way.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It opened with Viola Davis. She opened. And they had her whole career, and then she went up there and just winged his speech on how she overcame and I don't know what just built herself up up in her head to do all of this stuff then they brought this dude up
Starting point is 00:30:39 Ron or Rod something or other he wrote all the fucking music to every goddamn song every show he had a partner and then continued on after his partner died he did every fucking theme song from the Rockford Files greatest American hero A-team, Magnum P.I.
Starting point is 00:30:59 He did the Law and Order theme. They brought him up on stage. That's where they brought. Bump, bum, bum, bum, bum. And he went up on stage, and they were showing everybody on TikTok that do, like, these dance routines to that. That whole craze.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And he just went up shaking his head, like, I don't know why these kids are doing this, but this is awesome. Hill Street Blues. L.A. Law. All the fucking major hits. then they had another guy who had passed away
Starting point is 00:31:29 but his thing was he did events like big events like Super Bowl halftime he was the king of like that stuff Super Bowl half times shows the 9-11 tribute
Starting point is 00:31:44 the Olympics when Muhammad Ali came out with the tour like those the Oscars like giant events where it's basically live you got one shot at it and the odds of you screwing it up
Starting point is 00:32:01 and critics ripping you apart because everybody's watching it so everyone is going to read about it and it's a good way to get clicks and get attention and make money so you've got to have your own hot take this guy lived in that pressure crushed all of those
Starting point is 00:32:16 then the next one up was Henry Winkler and they showed all of his work from pre-happy days to like post Barry all this stuff that he did and he's just like
Starting point is 00:32:34 like I don't know if you did like a coaching tree of the nicest people ever if you if you like I to me it's Henry Winkler Adam Sandler and then I got to think who's third
Starting point is 00:32:50 but like Henry Winkler is literally the nicest human being you're ever going to meet. And he went up and was absolutely hilarious and, of course, totally humble and, of course, you know, very inspiring and all of that. And I don't know. If there's a way to live a perfect life, like, because there's a lot of people that are like, loved at home but get their ass kicked at work or people at work love them but then their home life suffers this guy just straight across the board crushes it professionally and
Starting point is 00:33:32 personally and he was giving shoutouts to his grandkids and like everybody was there was was fucking amazing and then to close it out um Conan o'brien went up and then he he fuck oh my god he fucking murdered. He roasted everybody in a playful way that had been up there. He made fun of the venue that we were at.
Starting point is 00:34:00 He made fun of himself. And then, of course, had an overall positive outlook on the future, the future of television, the future of creativity, and the future of people. How he always does,
Starting point is 00:34:13 lands it. You don't have to be totally silly and ridiculous. I don't know where he hits you with some profound shit. it was an amazing night and I'll tell you I went there and after I got in and I sat down you know my wife was out of town can't make it right so I'm there by myself feeling like an asshole I'm like yeah you know I'll I'll hang here for like an hour then I'm just gonna I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:34:40 wait or as they clap somebody off I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna leave and it was so entertaining I stayed for the whole thing and that was my evening um i gotta get back on stage i haven't done stand up in a minute and i got a bunch of new shit that i want to fork and try out um oh and i had a nice fucking helicopter ride and i had a nice motorcycle ride i had a great fucking week oh billy down time oh billy down time um yeah that's it all right i got i got to hit pause here and see if any of these materials have come in yet because I don't have any of my, the questions from you guys are the advertising yet. And through the magic of the pause button, I have my materials that I need.
Starting point is 00:35:30 All right, let's do, I only got one read, everybody. Lucky you guys, you only have to listen to me read out loud once. Ah, look who it is. It's 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. If the first plumber didn't answer, did you
Starting point is 00:35:53 wait? Letting that shit-filled water spill over the bowl? Hell no. You went down the list, you called the next ass-crack fucking plumber to come over. That's what we're guessing. Chances are, you moved on.
Starting point is 00:36:10 That's what they're trying to say with this copy. With open phone. You'll never miss a chance to connect with your customers. Open phone.

Starting point is 00:40:29 Hey, Bill, a long time, a long time listener and fellow mashole. He put a comma after a, he said, Hey, Bill, comma, a long time, comma. Hey, Bill, a long time. Listener and fellow masthole. And he spelled Masshole, M-A-S-S-O-A-E. H-L-E. This fucking guy. He was day-drinking at a bowling alley. His fucking thumbs were drunk.
Starting point is 00:40:56 A few weeks ago, when Ozzy died, I heard you reference a song where he is pleading to God and how much it creeped you out. I apologize if somebody else let you in, but the song is Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the album, off the Black Sabbath album. So they were the first ones to do that, huh? Because I remember there was a band called Big Country. that had a song named Big Country, off the album, Big Country. In a big country, dream stay with you to the lover's boy, to the mountain side. Stay on sides. That's what you're singing in a hockey game.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Also, I know you appreciate it, but it was the last song that WAAF played at midnight. Oh my God, WAAF, kick ass, rock and roll. Before they were bought out by a Christian rock station. Do you know I actually bought a WAAF kick ass rock and roll t-shirt and I wore to school the amount of shit that I got? I came walking in and the first kid said, oh my God, I always hear those advertised on the radio. I never knew somebody who bought them. Do you remember that? Do you remember when you showed up to school wearing something that you weren't even fucking questioning?
Starting point is 00:42:12 And is you got half a fucking pony high top into your fucking 19. 1980s high school, somebody shits on it, and you're just like, oh, God, this is going to be a long day. Why couldn't it be gym day? I would have had my gym stuff I could change. And he yelled it too in the hallway. Got a big laugh, and then that was it. I spent the rest of the day with my arms crossed across, you know, my chest didn't help. Anyway, they were bought out by a Jesus station.
Starting point is 00:42:42 The only thing's scarier than Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the Black Sabbath out. is a rock a kick-ass rock and roll station getting bought out by a christian rock station how much are you in the cult that you pick up a gibson less paul and you're still singing about the lord it's not what guitar is about sinning i get it you're into jesus did you just apologize for this later let's let's do some black sabbash shit anyway this person said i was in a college at fitchburg state at the time and working at a liquor store and ran to my car to hear what song w aaf would play last that's kind of cool that you knew it was a big moment i actually you could go on youtube and listen to the last like i think shift of w bcn i know this
Starting point is 00:43:43 sounds like old guy stuff but you have like no idea how personal like radio was what station you listen to the bands that they played and the on-air personalities the DJs and like it was this is before a clear channel it was just regional so these people on the radio they sat in the same traffic ate the same food rooted for the same sports teams So they basically expressed, you know, like, Jesus Christ, is they going to snow again this weekend? But Bob, they just, they were going through the same thing. 86 when the Red Sox blew it, they were there for that. We got blown out by the bears.
Starting point is 00:44:30 All of that shit. They were just, they were fucked. Too many men on the ice. They were fucking there. Some construction project not working out. They were fucking there. And, you know, technology continued on. and they all disappeared.
Starting point is 00:44:46 This person goes on. Anywho, actually the kinks were a really cool song about that, around the dial, about some kid, you know, putting on the radio and his favorite DJ isn't there anymore, and you're trying to figure out why? Because there was no information back then. They just weren't fucking there. You're like, what the fuck happened?
Starting point is 00:45:09 Anywho, this person said, I'm a big fan, and I've been doing comedy for a little over a year, in the boston and worcester scene i'm doing all right for myself but i just want want to know what you think about young comics trying to come up and do it the right way i'm looking i think it means booking small shows and i host an open night right next to the wilbur and the wang love your brother the last special was fantastic uh what do i think about comics coming up doing it the right way i'll be honest with you i don't know what the right way is i know it worked for me um i think uh you know i don't want to fall into that thing that you know the way my generation
Starting point is 00:45:54 did it's the right way and that's the only way to do it there was a lot of you know older comics that looked at my generation like what are you guys doing that's not comedy though that's not even jokes um so comedy is just like music where it it keeps evolving it keeps changing And, you know, but it is a weird thing where you can kind of stay contemporary. You don't get, like, locked in to a decade, like so many bands do by their fan base and by critics. Like, they won't accept any new music from you or whatever. They just want you to play the hits. Comedy is the opposite where they want new shit.
Starting point is 00:46:36 They don't want to hear the old stuff. But I don't know. But I think as much as it changed is probably, you know, the only way to get better at this shit is to get on stage, you know, anywhere you can. And I don't know, you just learn while you're on stage. I guess you mean by the right way is to not try to make it in two seconds by, you know, posting clip after clip after clip on Instagram. I don't think that that's a bad thing. I mean, I'm glad it wasn't around when I was coming up because I would be, like, some of your earlier shit, it's like, oh, my God. I wouldn't want any of that stuff seeing the light of day.
Starting point is 00:47:24 But I don't know, man. Like, my advice to you is what feels like the right way, do that. Just work your ass off. Don't be an asshole. And say what you want to say on stage. however you go about doing that i think you'll be all right um anyway all right plowing ahead here what's the next one what's the next one it's always always nice to hear from a comedian though as an older fella um all right havoc hvacac i have no idea what this is about hvac hey there billy ball sweat
Starting point is 00:48:07 union havoc hvac service tech here uh heard you bitching up a storm about the idiots not putting a return in your drum room hope they are bending you over on the bill you got to watch these non-union guys dude let me tell you something you got to watch all the guys anytime you get anything you're like listen don't fucking touch anything until you have everything
Starting point is 00:48:37 to replace it. Order everything, have it ready to go, then rip it out and put it in. And what do they always say, oh yeah, no problem, no problem, but what do they do? They rip it out and immediately there's fucking delays and they always have like 10 fucking jobs going. And once they fucking gut
Starting point is 00:48:53 your place, dude, come on. Don't even act like it's just non-union guys. Anyway, most are fine, but for example, my wife's grandma's AC went down last week. and they told her she needed a whole new system
Starting point is 00:49:09 because the refrigerant is out of production. It's hard to get, but the shit isn't out of production. They just lied to an old lady to get an easy cash grab, 11 grand for a new unit. I repaired the leak for $40 of materials and $400 of refrigerant later, and she's good to go. Wow.
Starting point is 00:49:35 $440. you know let's be honest if you did that for somebody you'd probably charge him what a grand 800 a grand but still that's 10 grand less you didn't charge you for labor uh anyway scabs are out here doing half-ass work and charging out the ass so my suggestion is try and find a union shop near you they cost a little more an hour but they have the training and know how to do it right the first time well there you go all right i've come back around on unions because you because you said so um i don't get people who are out there doing shit work i don't get that at all like i had jobs i didn't like but i always did a good job you know i remember being a bus boy in a restaurant and i had to
Starting point is 00:50:29 like mop down the hole. They had an oyster bar, black and white tiles. And I had to do the men and the women's room. And, uh, oh my God. Some nights, like, I don't even know what the fuck happened in there. And I hated every second of it. But the fucking place was gleaming by the time I was done with it. And, uh, the piece of shits that I worked with me, I remember they used to look at me.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Like, dude, what the fuck is with this kid? He actually, like, there's so many people out there that are just so, into fucking people over that they don't even understand just doing the right thing. Like you're paying me to do this job, I'm gonna do the fucking job, and I'm gonna do it right. Like, scumbags.
Starting point is 00:51:15 They almost look at you like when a dog can't figure something out and they cocked their head. They don't even get it. It's like, why would you put all that effort in there? What are you getting out of that? You're already making that money an hour, why don't you dog it? And then figure out how to take somebody else,
Starting point is 00:51:29 like the people who are, approach shit that way i don't i don't get that like how you could like go in there and see an old person you know they're not working anymore you know that money is important to them and you go in and you and you take 10 times what you need to take from them so you can do what do what go out and get yourself a car with t tops you cunt um anyway instagram showing users local A, there, Billy, my old chum. Instagram made an update to their app that turns on your location data by default, now revealing your geographic location if you use the app unless you go into settings and turn it off. This has caused influencers online to be posting content without them knowing their home address is being revealed to the world, causing randos to take pictures of their houses and sending it to the influencers. people are out of their fucking minds first of all
Starting point is 00:52:34 I don't understand why an app can do something like that you know think about all the women out there that have fucking stalkers um I believe mine's shut off I'm going into it now
Starting point is 00:52:50 I don't handle this stuff my web guy does um Um, yeah, this is all off. Never. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, I don't have any of that shit on. I don't have any of that on. But, like, where does Instagram get off doing that to people? Like, what, why, why would they do that to people? This person, if you personally use Instagram, you should change the settings before people start standing in front of your place. I appreciate this, by the way. That being said, this is just another example of how these tech companies share your personal data with no consideration of the negative impacts this could cause on the users.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Yeah, they don't give a fuck. And they have enough money to buy all the politicians. That's it. So what it would take would be for all of us, regular people, to somehow get on the same page. But all they would have to do is send bots at us blaming Joe Biden or Donald Trump. and then we would just start arguing, and that would be the end of it, and nothing would get done. That being said, this is just another example of how these tech companies share your personal data with no consideration of the negative impacts, blah, blah, blah. They don't even bother making announcements of these updates since the app updates in the background.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Stay safe. Don't go fuck yourself. Have some frozen yogurt instead. Oh, what a good shit. Thank you for giving me the heads up. Yeah, it's just fucking... Listen, we all know what we're headed towards. If I see one more fucking commercial on TV or something on the news or some regular person is just going on and on
Starting point is 00:54:43 about how amazing AI is, this reminds me when I lived in New York and there was a player on one of the baseball teams. Once a year, he would do a fucking... He would do a piece with the local news thing about how much he fucking worked out. and how hard he worked out and all that and guess what he got busted for doing steroids this is the same thing with this AI shit oh my god this is a man i use his AI and it was fucking incredible blah blah
Starting point is 00:55:11 AI is here to replace you first thing it's going to do is take your job and then it's going to become a robot and then it's going to take your life and that's what's going to happen and all we're going to be doing while this happens is screaming about trump and joe biden that's all that people are going to do because they're fucking mouth-breathing moron They're fucking morons. The fucking people that think that, let's get the legal immigrants out and then I can afford a house.
Starting point is 00:55:41 It's not going to happen. Like illegal immigrants are buying up all the houses. Like illegal immigrants are driving up the price of fucking house. It's unreal. Literally the guys that are fucking you over are going, no, no, no, it's them over there. It's them. Oh, it is. And then you run down the fucking street.
Starting point is 00:55:57 It's unreal. unfucking believable literally the person that has his dick in your ass is going it's him over there he's the one fucking you oh all right thank you piece of shit
Starting point is 00:56:14 who doesn't pay his employees and doesn't pay his taxes I'll listen to you all right forced to give email for a receipt Bill I'll keep this short and brief I bought a shirt at H&M When I went to buy the shirt, I asked for receipt, and they asked for my email.
Starting point is 00:56:31 I said, no, thank you. Thanks. Please give me a paper receipt. The lady informed me that the receipts are only digital now, and they would need my email. I said, that's bullshit. I don't have an email. Now what? She then said, do you have friends email?
Starting point is 00:56:45 I said, no, I don't. We went back and forth for about one minute, and I didn't want to make the other people waiting lines, so I just didn't take a receipt. I think it's absolute bullshit. they're actually forcing us to give emails for receipts. It's only a $13 shirt, so fuck it, I guess, but it had me so infuriated. It should.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Just print some fucking paper. You should look this up. H&M can suck my dick. Fuck them. Exactly. Fuck H&M. Part of me wishes I stayed and fought longer and forced them to address the issue with the manager,
Starting point is 00:57:22 but I just said fuck it and left with my shirt. didn't give them my email when I mentioned I don't want them to have my email they said it's only for receipt and I laughed in their face exactly we don't share it it's like no you don't share it they must think
Starting point is 00:57:39 I'm retarded retarded I don't know how to properly express my rage or why this infuriates me so much but it does so I'll stop before I just ramble on saying fuck this and fuck that we'd love to hear your thoughts thanks and go fuck yourself well I think a lot of
Starting point is 00:57:55 people like yourself, the reason why you have rage issues is because you would never do some shit like that. Or maybe you grew up in a really controlling environment and the fact that you didn't feel like you had an option made you fucking flip out. Or I'm superimposing my issues under you. That's what I got for you. Yeah, fuck all of these people and there needs to be some sort of pushback. I always give a fake email. I always give a fake phone number. Yeah, do we have a phone number in our system? And I always go, no, no, you don't. Do you want, no, I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Do you want to be a member of our group? No, I don't. I don't. And always when I'm standing in line behind us, can I get a phone number and you're like 6-1-7, 2-1-2? It's just like, what the fuck are you doing? They just, you know, you know what those people are there guard tower guard tower people you know that moron in front of you
Starting point is 00:59:02 in the line when you're being exterminated by the robots he's going to be up in the guard tower thinking he's in with the robots and then when they're done killing all of us then they'll go up and be like all right buddy it's your turn and he's going to be like but wait i gave you my phone number in you go that's how that works um same thing with these illegal immigrants they start with brown people they don't look like you, you're not fucking concerned. And then they run out of those people. And they still have to make money. They still have to put people in those fucking little prisons that they have.
Starting point is 00:59:34 So then guess what? Then it's your fucking turn. That's how that works. That's how that works. I don't know, at least my limited knowledge of fucking history and control over people and what the fuck they do. But this is getting too deep. This is not why you guys tune into this podcast.
Starting point is 00:59:52 All right. Red Sox got a Monday Tuesday A two game series against the fucking Baltimore Orioles The last place Baltimore Orioles I don't know what happened They had like two or three seasons there Where they were turning it around I love the fucking Orioles
Starting point is 01:00:05 Eddie Murray Rick Dempsey Doug DeSense That fucking crazy hillbilly That passed away that was on the dugouts Spelling out the name They used to play in that old war memorial stadium With the Baltimore Colts
Starting point is 01:00:21 Fucking amazing Jim Palmer Frank Tanana The fuck else was on that team Earl Weaver Those great orange shirts Oh my God I would
Starting point is 01:00:36 Nothing can fuck with baseball uniforms 1979 Some of the highlights Houston Astros Pittsburgh Pirates Baltimore Orioles Who else had a great fucking uniforms
Starting point is 01:01:00 A lot of them sucked in the 80s Like the White Sox always had a boring uniform And then that one they had like when Lamar Hoyt Or just said socks When Carlton Fisk was there I never liked that uniform I always thought that was weird Okay let's go let's go back
Starting point is 01:01:15 Come on Bill you can do better than that Houston Astros Oh the fuck fucking Milwaukee Brewers, the Seattle Mariners. They had great uniforms. The twins. Oh, the fucking St. Louis Cardinals, that blue jersey? Kansas City Royals, that nice clean uniform.
Starting point is 01:01:39 All right, that's all I got. You know, I was looking up some shit the other night. I was watching the Dodgers and the Padres. Because all of a sudden, the Padres were up one game. And then the Dodgers took them two games in a row. Now they were up a game. and it was talking about the Dodgers uniform and it said that it was blue and white and red
Starting point is 01:01:54 and I was like, what the fuck is red on the dog? And for the life of me, I couldn't think of it. And I put on the Dodgers game, I'm like, oh, the fucking number is red. How have I never noticed that? I mean, I see it all the time. I just never noticed it.
Starting point is 01:02:12 You know, Bill, you could have ended the fucking podcast instead of just, you know what else I never noticed? All right, that's the podcast. go fuck yourselves give out fake emails fake phone numbers just you know uh you can't fight this shit but you can have fun with it just take surveys give all bogus information like i think that that's the only way to combat this is we just all give bogus information and there'll be so much misinformation out there about all of us that you know the value of tracking nah that's still not going to have this they're going to they'll track us even more um anyway and it's all god's fault
Starting point is 01:02:53 because he makes selfish people he makes fucking sociopaths and he makes narcissists and um you know there's like bacteria in your gut your whole life there's the bacteria in your gut that's going to activate when you die so you can decompose it's just sitting there waiting for that to happen um i think that the human version of that is narcissists and sociopaths And if you believe in God, he put them in the human race to end the human race eventually because God gets bored with shit. And then he moves on to something else. He had a good time with the dinosaurs, done with that, moves on to human beings. He's about done with us.
Starting point is 01:03:33 And then they'll be the fucking next thing. That's how it works. Remember there was Friendster, then there was Myspace, then Instagram, and it just kept going. Same thing with creation. It's just a theory. All right, that's it. Go fuck yourselves. I'll talk to you on Thursday.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Thank you.
