Do you choose a second-hand car on Instinct or with your understanding? With the choice for a BMW with the BMW Premium Selection Certificate, you can lead by both. Because its quality, it feels you, and that it is reliable, you know that. Above all, you now enjoy a 4-year warranty on your certified second-hand car. BMW Premium Selection, trust your Instinct, follow your understanding. Information and information on BMW.b Just before Friday, Monday morning podcast, what's going on? How are you? I'm just checking in on you and all that bullshit.

I think I'm finally getting over this fucking whatever the hell I had. I think I had a touch of Ebola. You know what I mean? We just do like a Weechoo shot of fucking Weechoos. I think I had a little fucking Ebola in there, man. Stupid. I'm the worst when I get sick. I just keep, you know, plowing ahead like an asshole. My wife just sits there going like, you need to lay down. You need to lay down. You need to take this and just lay down. And then it like bothers me because she's telling me what to do, right?

So then that stupid part of my brain that doesn't want to listen to people when they tell me what to do, even if they're giving me good information, causes me to be like, I'm fine. I'm fucking fine. I can tell you this right now, man. Don't ever have turmeric in your life and then go commit a crime because you're going to leave a fucking trail. I mean, that shit just it ended up on my, I had it down in the kitchen. It ended up on my bathroom towel. I went on the internet and I got one of those stupid fucking, um, you know, recipes, take some garlic and some lemon and some turmeric and some fucking honey. It's got to be all natural, honey. Make this concoction and ginger and boil it all up and

all of this shit, you know? Oh no, I didn't do the turmeric one. I did the one with the orange. And then see how it worked. Then somebody else made the turmeric one. And son of a fuck did I, well, I know what happened. I spilt a little on the floor and I just took, I was in the bathroom because I went upstairs to drink it and then I put it on my towel and it was like, look, my towel was glowing. I'm like, what is that? It looks like I got like a highlighters on it. I found out it's turmeric, which evidently is really good for your liver, especially after you did like five nights in a row of Nyquil, which is like taking, you know, George form and body shots without blocking them, I guess to your liver for like five nights in a

row. So I don't know. I don't know what the, what the hell this thing is, but I think I'm finally past it. Anyway, it's nice. It's nice to sort of be back and I go on the road tomorrow, right? Or today when this thing's coming out, right? Oh my goodness. I go to Jacksonville, Florida, right? That's every most people when they go to Florida, they go to Miami, or they go to Tampa, not me. I go in feet first. If I'm going to Florida, I'm going to Florida. All right, I'm going to go to the part of Florida that scares most people that live in my city. I'm going to go to Jacksonville, Florida. It should be an easy show now that Trump is, you know, starting back up again. Oh my God, that fucking asshole's coming back. That means Joe

Biden's going to win again. Jesus, can we get, can we get away from these two fucking people? This is like the two of them are like when Freddy Krueger and fucking, you know, Jason started making, didn't they do that? Freddy versus Jason. And you did one of those movies. You're like, who the fuck am I supposed to be rooting for you? Anyway, so I'll be dealing. So anyway, they will be in a good mood. So that's, that's good. And then, you know, who doesn't want to be in Florida this time of year? What East coaster doesn't want to be in Florida in like November, you know, starting to get cold up north. Oh wait, I live in Los Angeles. You know what, I don't, I don't, because I'm already living in that weather. Actually, you know what I do

like about living in LA is going to Florida, like Jacksonville is a straight shot. You literally just get in the airplane and he gets over the 10 and he follows it from LAX in Santa Monica and follows it all the way to Jacksonville. Do you realize that? How long that goddamn street is? Or a highway? I mean, that's, that is fucking insane that people did that, that they all got together. You know, I'm sure Native Americans had something to do with it or, you know, black people that didn't get credit. I have no idea. At some point, they'll make the true Hollywood story about whoever built the fucking 10 freeway. Anyways, but how about the Bruins in the Celtics? All right, it is football and basketball season

and who has the hottest fucking arena in the league? That would be the TDF Bank North Garden Illuminati Bilderberg Center, where the two of them play Bruins 14 and two baby rapidly approaching their greatest start ever from 1930, whatever. I heard what's his face Jack Edwards say at the other night it was 1930 something we started off at 19 and two. We are 14 and two Celtics have pretty much a similar record, which is great with the fiasco that happened with our coach who's now suspended. It's great to see that we can just fucking hit the ground running and let the two J's and everybody's just moving right along. It's fucking fantastic. You know, and now like these other states and cities that need like 52 fucking teams in each goddamn sport, couple two, three

here, two over here, one over here. We got we got four one in each sport and they all fucking went. It's fantastic. It's fantastic. One starts losing the other guys pick it up. It's been an amazing run. So I was thinking, you know, I don't think anybody's ever won a Stanley Cup and an NBA championship in the same year in the same building. I know they've gone to the finals because the Bruins and the Celtics Celtics were in the NBA finals and the Bruins were in the Stanley Cup final or is it the other way around? I always forget in like the late 80s. It was into June and it was so hot in the building because the old Boston garden did not have air conditioning. And I remember the ice was all slushy on purpose because we were trying to slow down the Edmonton

Oilers. There was literally like fog. There was a marine layer over the over. There was so much humidity above the ice that when the air came within content, contact to the ice, the air was then cool to its dew point to the dew point, which is when moisture becomes visual visible. I still remember that from my private pilot test. And that's when my uncle Glenn Wesley just shot it over the crossbar. I remember that one. Then you had that. Who was it? That Reagan Reagan. The fuck was our goaltender? Anyway, they're doing great. And how about that call I made Monday night? The commanders, not only did they cover 11 points, they won the fucking game. And that's good for

all those old ass dolphins who want to fucking celebrate like, you know, nobody's broken their fucking record yet, which is the stupidest thing ever. You know, it's like nobody ever is because it's just to tie their record now gets you out of the regular season. I think it's one of the sillier fucking things out there. But you know, if that helps those old guys out, I guess that's all right. But I was rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles to do and rooting for somebody to do it. But then I think that then what they're going to do for the rest of their lives is now that's the tradition is that you got to like hate on the younger players or whatever, whatever the fuck that is. They'll be like me being an old comedian, you know, and if you had

like the most successful standup special of all time, you know, every time a comedian put out a special and it wasn't the more successful than yours, you'd like drink a little bit of champagne. Sorry, I'm still on a lot of fucking cold medication right now. I golfed on Monday. I had a great time with Andrew and Peter from was it louder that clothing line? I had a fucking blast with them. It was just fun watching them play. They were so goddamn good. And then there was another guy, Tommy Irons, we were calling him because once he switched from his clubs to his irons, he started smashing the fucking ball off the tee, had his own winery, you know, and I get golf, you meet all these fucking interesting people and what they do

for a living is really interesting. And then you just you walk around and just give each other shit, joke around and all of that stuff and breakballs. I don't know where the carving up the United States happened, but it definitely does not happen out on the golf course, at least as far as my experience. And listen to this, Oh, Billy Freckles was out there. I played terrible, even for me, like I forgot how I had, you know, mastered my own little Charles Barkley swing. But someone was nice enough to take a slow mo video of it. And oh, my God, it's it is a thing of ugly. You know, it's sort of a smoothed out Charles Barkley, but at least Barkley goes all the way back but I don't stop at any point. Anyway,

play 18 fucking holes. I got through 15 and then I had to leave because I had some shit to do with the movie, but I had a fucking blast. And we were playing out in Camarillo and we were right near the airport. I've flown out there, had lunch out there a million times, flying out there. And it was really cool to see the airport, you know, from that golf course, I'm always flying over it to be on the hill and looking down at it and shit. And a great bunch of people. Comedy gives back is the name of the the charity. And but anyway, I had to take off fucking early. But I gotta be honest with you again, like, I just I don't know if I got it in me. I can do nine holes, 18 holes is just like, I don't know, you feel like you're in jury duty,

you know. I will say I was amazed, though, at how well those two guys, some louder, were just fucking crushing the ball. I mean, just straight a mile anytime they wanted to. You know, I felt like I was watching ESPN highlights. It was fucking awesome. So anyway, I'm getting geared up here to do some shows. Gotta make sure I fucking rest the boys there. I have no idea what's going on in the world. So this should be fucking interesting. Still haven't smoked in any cigars, no soda, no weed. My coffee is off the fucking rails. I mean, you got to do something, right? You know, usually I would be going to the gym, but I just been doing this all fucking week. You know, it's funny, I borrowed my wife's car.

And she had on a playlist, she had this artist, Bia Bia, Bia Bia. And I started listening to it. And the drum tracks were really cool. And she was like fucking hilarious. Then I found out she was from Massachusetts and I downloaded the album and I fucking loved it. I've been listening to that like nonstop. It's kind of funny, like some of the funniest women out there are like rappers. You know, Bia Bia, Bia Bia. Is that how you say? Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion. You know, my wife listens to all that in the car. I was just listening to this stuff and I was fucking cracking up. And the drums are great too. You know, it's all this weird shit that

a human being wouldn't think to do, I feel. And I also feel it's a Cardi B song for drummers out there. Download that one, Money. And it's got these hits, right? In the beginning, just on piano with a little bass drum underneath it. It's on the one. Next bar, it's on the two. And then it's on the one. And it's fun to like solo, try to solo. I mean, I can't do that, but like in between those and then coming out on those hits is, I don't know, I find that a little more fun than listening to a fucking metronome. So anyway, let me let me do a little bit of the fucking reads here. Jesus Christ, here's another phone call. Hang on a second. All right, I'm back. I'm back. Take a quick phone call there. Anyway, oh, you know what I did last night? I watched a fucking

highlight reel of dick dick butt kiss. Holy shit. What a fucking joy that was to watch. Talk about a guy who could play in any era. I even I even watched a dick butt kids highlight reel in a long time and it was just fucking. It just took me back to when I was a kid. There's something about those highlights from the sixties and the color and that so that NFL film is just like and then also it's right before those cookie cutter stadiums got made. And like, you know, the late sixties, early seventies, a lot of them, you know, and you see like teams playing in like baseball stadiums and shit like baseball teams that don't even fucking exist anymore on like so on like

two levels. It's like the football team is playing in the baseball team, baseball stadium that no longer exists. And just watching that guy on every play, just beating the fuck out of people. You know, whenever I saw in Damakasu play and getting trouble and all that, like I never felt he was like a dirty player. I just looked at that guy like he that guy is playing in the wrong era. Like I'm telling you, if you if anybody out there who's good at like, you know, splicing shit together, you could make a video of Dick Buckess, Sam Huff, Deacon Jones, all of those guys. All right, the fearsome foursome, the purple people leaders, doomsday defense, you could drop in Damakasu right in there with the same fucking music.

And other than the turf that he's playing on and how glossy it's going to look, that guy would fit in like that shit where he stood when he got up and he stepped on that guy and people like, Oh my God, it's just like, I mean, that was just how it was done. You should really watch some of those old NFL films if you get a chance. Specifically, the Oakland Raiders of the 70s, the Soul Patrol and those fucking guys, they like they didn't want to break up the past. They wanted you to catch the ball so they could basically assault you. One of them, like they would, you'd be running out of bounds and that would just,

he had like a cast on his army would just come all the way back and then just, his tackle was he would just forearm smash the side of your head and knock you out. Speaking of which, somebody was showing me Dana White just bought some league of, you know, those videos where people just stand there and they let each other slap each other? Like that's going to be like a new sports league and like the gambling potential of that is like right up there with drag racing, which was one of the easiest things I ever gambled on. I remember going into it and this guy would just be standing up and everybody in our section was gambling and he would just point to one side of the track and people put their money on that

one and then pointed to the other and you just, you could just sit there and gamble all day and sit in the sun and fucking drink beer. You're going to be able to do that with this slap fest, whatever the hell they call. My only thing is, I hope those kids, the people who are doing that, put an ear plug in or something because if somebody slaps you that hard and catches your ear, boxes your ear, your fucking the eardrum is going to explode, I would think. You know me, you know, most people are about the CTE right now. I'm about protecting the ears. Everybody's trying to protect the brain now. I'm not. Anyway, decided to look into, oh, Karen Bass becomes first woman elected as Los Angeles. I thought she already was the mayor.

I didn't know idea. Oh, so LA's Giuliani didn't get in. Giuliani meets Bloomberg. Oh my god, Donald Trump is back. Jesus Christ. Just when you thought it was safe to go on Twitter. Oh my god. Oh god, do we got to listen to the liberals fucking whining slash helping to promote the guy? Anyway, I will tell you this, I am going to fucking ignore this election like, you know, our relatives coming to the town that you don't want to fucking see. Not even a relative. I actually love my relatives. Let's fucking frame that barrel. Let's say I got along with my wife's friends. All right, let's just say my wife had somebody who was a fucking loudmouth asshole. You know what I mean? And then had another friend

who was started to say something and forgot what they were saying in the middle of it. Just imagine if they had both of them over the house for fucking two years. I would definitely figure out a reason to go out to the garage. Let's put it that way. Anyways, fuck. Oh Jesus Christ. Look at them just still going after Dave Chappelle here. What the fuck? You know what I mean? It's unbelievable. They leave the FDA alone. They leave pharmaceutical companies alone and they just will fucking try to turn over every fucking stone they can. I've, you know, I saw that monologue. It was fucking, it's a great monologue. Yeah, it was measured. Like what is the

problem? It was jokes. Fucking unreal. You know, you would think the guy came up with synthetic heroin and got people addicted to it and a bunch of people's relatives died. You'd think that that's what happened. All right, let's do some reads here. Helix everybody. Helix?

Better sleep starts now. And I'll tell you right now, if you get one of those mattresses, lay off the fucking coffee. Anyways, Bruins got the flyers, the filthy fucking flyers. I was watching some of their highlights the other day. Remember when cellos elbowed that guy in the fucking head on the flyers and sent him to the infirmary? And then a few games later, Ron Hextal came skating out of the fucking goal and attacked cellos. I mean, those were the days. Those were the days. And you knew when you were there. Here's the thing. I signed up for the center rice package and all of that shit. Is it me? Or, you know, I used to sign in on NHL.com and I could fucking watch the games,

but now I feel like because they're on ESPN I'm not allowed to do that anymore. Am I nuts? Can somebody fucking twiddle at me or Instagram? Instagram at me? By the way, I'm getting excited. And I'm getting nervous. I got my pickup trucks coming. All right, my little Christmas gift to myself. I ordered it fucking months ago. And this complete absolute fucking horseshit that there's not enough computer chips is just one of the biggest lies I've ever heard in my life. Like, why are there not enough computer chips? It's just like the oil companies. Oh, they did. They just stopped producing it. You know, so now the price is going to go

through the roof and then whoever's president is going to get fucking blamed for it, you know? It's like, why aren't there enough chips? I think that they're just getting something about car max and people ordering cars online. I think they're trying to phase out or how the way Tesla sells cars, I think they're jealous of that. So now they're acting like there's this fucking shortage and there isn't. And that's my, I think the future is when you go into buy a car, there's just going to be one price, no salesman, everybody gets fucked. And you order it and we'll get your money immediately and then we will talk to you in about six months. I think that that's how it's going to go down. I think that's the way that

they want to do it. And if they made jokes about that and did a monologue as a stand-up comedian on SNL, I think that they would actually maybe get investigated and they would try to figure out like what was going on. I don't know. I don't know what to say here. All right, other than that, I'm trying to conserve my voice because I have three shows this weekend. I want to thank everybody out in the great state of Florida. Everybody's going to be in a good mood. Your boy's coming back. Orange Jesus with the greatest comb over since Mayor White in Boston, he had a great comb over. In my lifetime, it was where it was supposed to be. And by the end of his mayorial run or his tenure as mayor, it was like literally like just above his ear. And he was just combing

all of it over the top of his head. It looked fucking horrendous. I always wondered what that looked like in the shower when you had a hairdo like that. Like one side of your body, your head, it's like your hair is above your ear. And then on the other side, you look, you look like half of Ben Franklin. You know, it's like, you know, what if Ben Franklin and Tim Conway had a baby? God bless the wife that just fucking hangs in there with that. I mean, that's just fucking... I saw a guy with a full head of hair the other day. You do that a lot as a bald guy. Like you look at somebody around your age like, oh, look at that son of a bitch. God loves him. And I was looking at this guy and he, but he had a haircut that made it look like he was wearing

a toupee. He had like this newscaster level fuck local newscaster still fucking crushing it at the Applebee's hair, right? And he had a comb back, but then for whatever reason, the front of it, he had it brushed down into bangs, just like maybe like an eighth of an inch and then cut straight across. So he gave himself like he had it lined up, you know, like how the black guys do it, you know, but he was like, he wasn't a white guy. I don't know what he was, but it made it look like, like that's what his hair was. And then it was bald behind it. And they just set this fucking, you know, cowlick shit behind it. It was actually kind of fascinating. There was a moment where I was like, if I don't stop looking at this, I'm going to get into a fight. So I just took my

cup of coffee and I walked up. I mean, that's how I, that's how you do it. As an old dad with too bad shoulders, you know, when you feel the confrontation coming, you know, you just, you just walk away with your coffee. That's just how it goes. And there's not even a moment's shame. You know, that's how old you are. You just walk away and you're glad you're still, your pancreas is intact. You're not going to lose your spleen. And you don't have to get all new fucking teeth because some guy with a cowlick and bangs stomped your face in while a bunch of fucking barista with fishermen hats watched. I don't understand why if you make coffee, you have to wear a knitted hat like you're about to have a snowball fight, regardless of

the environment. Oh, Bill, are you doing coffee house material now? I think I am. You know, I think this might be part of my chunk this weekend when I go to Jacksonville, Orlando, Florida, and then I don't know where I am going. I don't know where I'm going. Clearwater, murky water, gator water. I have no idea where I'm going, but you know what, there is some college football. I wonder what's going to happen. What do you guys think about fucking Michigan, Ohio State coming up? Is Michigan going to go into the horseshoe? That's not really a horseshoe anymore. They're going to go in there and kick them in the dick. Can you imagine two years in a row, those loudmouth fans just fucking eating it? Oh my God, at the Ohio State University,

the team that always seems to make the playoffs and get their fucking asses kicked every fucking time when the most boring goddamn playoff game ever. I'm just fucking with you. You win once every 10 years. All right, that's it. I think I've been a cunt enough. God bless you. Go fuck yourselves. Enjoy the next, enjoy your weekend. Enjoy the music picked out by the great Andrew Thamelis, and then we have a bonus episode of another episode of the Thursday afternoon just before Friday morning morning podcast from a Thursday previous to this one. All right, that's it. Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it is time for a special edition of the Monday morning podcast. You know, every once in a while, old freckles here goes out and gets himself a guest.

And today is no different, which is why we have a special podcast for this weekend. I can't think of this is probably the biggest. It's got to be the biggest guest I've had an absolute legend. And usually when people say this shit, they can't, you know, people you can't follow it, but believe it or not, I have from Aerosmith legendary lead guitarist Joe Perry on the Monday morning podcast. How are you, buddy? I'm really good. Thanks. I don't know about the biggest part. I mean, most people say you look bigger. And I mean, you look smaller in person, but don't you hate that? That don't matter. I mean, you know, it's all it's all about the camera angle and all that stuff. But thanks. I appreciate that intro. And do you get that a lot to be here today?

Oh, sorry. Do you get that a lot? People say that to me like, I don't know why they think I was tall. I'm average height. I'm just under 510. And then they always come walking up. They're like, I thought you'd be a lot bigger. It's just it's the way that the camera because usually a camera, again, technically, I mean, the camera is kind of down at eye level, because I want to get you straight on. And or sometimes they'll shoot you from a little below. So it's really hard to tell to get any kind of perspective, you know what I mean? Unless you know how tall the person is, you're standing next to that kind of thing. I get it with you. It's like you're playing like, you know, the LA Coliseum, and you're on like a 40 foot stage. I mean, I'm standing in some

chuckle hut. It's just like maybe six inches taller than I am when I'm not on stage. So I don't know. It's always like, sometimes I just think people just say shit to say shit. Like, do you how do you deal with like, you know what like amazes me about before before we get going here. The reason why Joe Perry's here has got a new unbelievable book, Joe Perry, Joe Perry, My Life In and Out of Aerosmith, that's available now. And if I'm not mistaken, it already went number one, correct? Well, I think it was number it was on it's in the top 10 wasn't a top 10 New York Times best soloist. It was in the top 10 for two weeks. And this is why your career has lasted for so long, because you're this honest. Most people would have just been like,

yeah, man. Yeah, number one all over the place. But it's like anybody that that, you know, sees but the thing is, it's it all they say is top top seller and they print that on the top and that's kind of like the stamp that says that at least more than one person has read it. And the other thing is, I'm not here just because of the book. I'm here because you're a bud from way back. And I've been looking forward to doing a podcast with you anyway. Oh, that's awesome. For a while. So it's, yeah, it gives me a chance to yack about the book, but I also get a chance to have some laughs for a change. Good deal. And I promise I'm going to try to steer away from the usual. You know, so what's Steven like? What's how do you pick out your leather pants or whatever?

Although I might ask you that one because I don't think you can ask me anything you want. And I guarantee the answers will be totally different than they've been from before, because a lot of it, it's not so much the questions. It's how they're asked and who's asking them. Okay. All right. I like that. Well, let me, here's one for you is what blows my mind nowadays with the whole Twitter thing and Facebook and the whole interactive thing was back in the day. There was no way for me to ever write you something that you would ever, I guess fan mail or something like that, just the level of like interaction that people can have. In fact, like when I, when I bought your first albums, it was like maybe 80 81 or something like that. So this was

just before MTV. Right. I didn't even know who was who because I turn over the album. Sure. Well, I guess I got greatest hits first and they didn't have a picture of you guys, but when I got like toys in the attic or something, remember, I turned it over and I was trying to figure out which one Steve, which one's Joe, you know, who's Tommy and all that type of stuff. How have you felt like having lived the old way, but like pre even like pre MTV, where people didn't, you know, for them, let's say, well hardcore fans, they had no idea what you looked like. So you could be a little more anonymous if you walk down the street to like this whole thing now where people can be like a nice book asshole. Why'd you pick this picture? You know,

he's just sitting there eating toast in your fucking kitchen. How does that annoy the shit? I hate the fucking heckles when I'm at home. Well, it's interesting because you got one thing is you got to keep in mind that it's a very small percentage of the people that are out there. So you, you know, a lot of times you can get like sucked into the whole Twitter thing or Facebook or all that stuff, all the different different outlets that there are. And you can go, God, I can't believe that people think that or how could they say that? And it's like, you got to remember that it's like maybe one of 1% that are actually like, you know, looking at it. But well, how long in the great scheme of things, you know, but it's kind of like,

it's a good thing and a bad thing. It gives people a voice and it's kind of like the, like we've said before, the, it's like the town square and you're hanging out in the town square and anybody can say what they want. Some people want to stand in a soapbox so they can be heard. And very often they get carried away in a white, in a white jacket, but so I wanted to take it for you to get to this Zen place, because it's something that I kind of bad. Like most times I'm like, all right, whatever. Hey, you know, whatever. The last eight, what good? What are they all going to be good? But like just every once in a while, somebody just writes something so mean that I get like an urge to like, I just wish there was an app where you

could find out where they lived and just drive over and, you know, it's funny, I drive over and then lose a fight to them. But you know, in my fantasy, I win. Yeah. Well, sometimes you have to do that to let off some steam, but not actually do it, but just kind of go through the middle process. But the point is that you read some of that stuff and it can be so mean spirited because they know that they're anonymous. And it's like kind of a drag. But I don't know, lately, it's been pretty positive. Okay, you know, it's been kind of even. And, you know, you just kind of pay attention to the different ones. I mean, some people will only listen to like one particular thing or they'll kind of, you know, drop into different phases and things like that. So I don't

know, it's just just another outlet. But but sometimes we do use it for input when we're talking about a set list, you know, on the road, we're thinking about, you know, what should we put in there? And sometimes somebody will tweet a song, we'll go, I think we remember how to play that one. Can I put out a request? Of course, one that I've always wanted to see play live, it's off your first album, Moving Out. Well, let me write that down, because that's one song that we do play once in a while. We played it, I think the second or last show of the tour. And we went right into Walking the Dog. So it was kind of like, you know, I think your first album is so underrated. Because that if I remember correctly, you basically, you guys,

even after you sold that album, you hadn't gone national yet. And it was kind of like, no, you kind of got like, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, or New England, and maybe just into Connecticut, New York. Exactly. And it was just, it was really like, it was an uphill fight, Ma. You know, I mean, it was, you know, people think, you know, and looking from the outside, you know, they're looking at the trade magazines, and then all of a sudden, there's a band on the charts. And it seems like they're overnight. But, you know, you forget, I mean, it goes, it's been, it's been the same ever since the Beatles. I mean, the Beatles spent years and years in those clubs in Hamburg, sleeping in the bathroom, working hot,

busting their ass. And the same thing with, with us. I mean, we worked the clubs and kind of spread out and would, you know, we'd go through, through Ohio and play, you know, all, all the towns in Ohio, and then making our way to Detroit. And Detroit, of course, their favorite band was Jay Giles. So they were willing to give another band from Boston a listen and give us a second chance, you know, and when we went out there, they really took us to heart. And then coming back to Boston, the first album was, had come and kind of gone. But the record company gave us another chance, and we did the second record, and then they were re-released, stream on, and it started to get played on the radio. That was back when DJs could actually play what they

wanted. You know, you could actually go up there and talk to them, play them something. If it was any good, they would play it. You know, it was pretty cool. That's amazing. You know what? I was just back, back east doing Dennis and Cam's comics come home. And believe it or not, it was the 20th, the 20th anniversary of that show. And I remember one of the times I did it, you came out and played with the band, which was awesome. And I'll tell you one thing that strikes me is every time I go back to Boston, because I moved away in 95, it becomes less and less like what I left. And I'm going to be, oh, I'm going to get a greasy slice of pizza here, and then it's gone. And I'm just, I'm finding it, all these areas that used to be scary are getting like nicer and nicer. And I remember

what always kills me was when they talk about when you guys were struggling, they're like, ah, we were all struggling. We were all living in this beat up apartment on Commonwealth Avenue, which is like Park Avenue now in downtown Boston. And I was wondering, do you, do you miss like, when you go back, go through Boston, I don't know how often you get to go back there. Do you, do you like the direction it went with the whole big dig and turn it south into like a bunch of condos and crap? Certainly the big dig was a, was an event in everyone's life who lives in Boston. But I mean, it was, there's no doubt in, you know, why did they just make one fucking lane? They turned everything,

it was like, it was a complete waste of time. Other than aesthetically, I'm fucking, you know, I was driving to the airport as I went to the airport, you know, I tried to take the Ted Williams title. So I get off, I have a 7am flight, it's like quarter to five in the morning. And so I get off the Ted Williams exit, and then I get to the fork in the row, we make a left to do it, and there's all these fucking cones set up. So then I have to go buy that and the Calantana, flipping the fuck out, cursing Boston up and down for the fucking state worker meathead. And I don't even think that they did it by accident. I literally think that they do it on purpose. And then you fucking go through all of the bullshit. And once again, it's one lane to get

to the airport. So it was like, what was the purpose of all of that? You know, it's like, go figure. I mean, this, this, it's all about progress under the name of progress. I mean, that's what this whole country's built on and, and growth and all that. And I mean, I think that things have to change there. I don't want, I don't want to get into that right now. But, but the bottom line is, are you going to run for office? So I just, I haven't been, been home that much or been out here, you know, from the time we were working on the, the, the last aerospace record and then going on the road and then coming back and finishing the record and then going on the road again and then working on the book all through that. We've been spending all

my time here and I know you sound like you caught a cold a little bit and well, the allergies here, it's like, it's really wet, you know, in the back here that he's got, it's beautiful. I mean, he's got like fountains everywhere and it's just beautiful, but, but the allergies get you. And I was just reading an article in one of the, like the Huffington Post and one of those, one of those things. And they were saying how that, that people's, people's allergies are not allergies, but their, their whole nasal thing was, was like starting to like react to the, a lot of the differences because they travel so much and, and there are so many different things that affect people. And so they're, they're, they're not, if they, if you're wondering why your nose is

dripping, that's why, because your nose is working over time. It's got nothing to do with anything from south of the border, you know, or anything like that. It's just strictly your, your body reacting to, to the, to the different stuff in the year, whether it's pollen. I mean, I know in Massachusetts, there's that time of the year where all the pine pollen comes down and it covers your car green and all that. You get sick then too? Or get like, it's terrible. It's got, it's got to drive you nuts. It's terrible. It's, it's like, how do you handle that if you have like a show, if you're doing a Joe Perry thing, Joe Perry project where you have to sing? Well, I have to use a little bit of that spray, you know, that, you know, that you get at

the drugstore and it works as long as you don't use too much of it, you know, but it works and it's, and then you get through it. That never works for me. Somebody gave me that the other day. I'm doing a cartoon. Oh, we got to get, you know, like we have music and stuff in between your projects. Yeah, we're kind of doing this thing. It takes place in like the 70s. I can't give too much of the way it's not coming out for like another year, but you know, we're, we're, we're doing some stuff, period stuff from the 70s. Like, you remember when Plant and Page used to do that calling response thing on the guitar? He'd be like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So we kind of got some people listening to music like that. And I, as I was driving over here today, I was like, Jesus Christ, you know,

I mean, I should have got you in on the fucking thing. We're having somebody try to put together like a song for us or whatever. But I'd love to have you come in, maybe even do a voice or something like that at some point. Well, that's one of the good things about, about all this technology is you don't have to be in the same room at the same time. You know, I mean, certainly there's an advantage to that. But you know, if, if you can't be there physically, you can certainly, you know, send the files and you can work on it and talk on the phone. I mean, I just did a an over an overdub one, one of Johnny Winter's songs, God Rest His Soul. And, you know, he called me up and said, do you want to play on the record? And he said, yeah, great. And they sent me the

files. I played on it. And like right from your house. Yeah. Well, here there's a studio record store. So we went in and as you noticed, I'm not too good with technology. I got to tell my listeners the embarrassing beginning to my podcast. I was in a rush to get over here. I'm freaking out Joe Perry from Aerosmith and I show up. I got two microphones. I got everything, but I only have one mic cord and rock star Joe Perry goes, I'll go next door and get one. Like he's getting like he has all cool neighbors. So like he's like, I'd go over and get a cup of sugar. He goes over and gets a microphone cord. Well, you know, I would tend to reason I hang around with kind of musical people. But also that we stay at the hotel, the sunset marquee, I don't know where you stand,

but they have a studio downstairs. And that's the only hotel I know of in the world where you can call room service and get a microphone at two in the morning. Is that right? If you're like, I mean, I've done a lot of writing. In fact, there's a picture of me in the room working on one of the songs for the record. And, you know, and we just set up with the computer and some outboard gear and some microphones and we sit in there and I actually wrote the song there and some of the tracks actually made it on the record. But, you know, we're just sitting in the living room, you know, and it's and I needed a mic cord and I called down and they had it there and it was do you find that that new technology makes you more creative or is it like, you know, sometimes there's people

out here with even if they like right, they're sitting there going like, well, I got at least have an office where I go to sit down and write because if I don't, I'm sitting here, the TV's here, the kitchen's here, I'm not going to create, do you find the new technology where wherever you go, there's a studio makes you procrastinate more or do you work more? It's definitely a lot more a lot. It takes a lot more get up and go to do it because there are so many more distractions. There's no doubt about it. Everything from, you know, 1000 channels on TV to to whatever you're into. I mean, football 24 hours a day. I mean, whatever, there's so many things that, you know, that's an advantage because you can you can choose. But on the other hand, it's like

to be able to record in your own house can be like the worst thing and the best thing. I mean, you can always say, well, I can put it off till tomorrow, right? Because you don't, you know, you haven't booked time in a studio where they're going to charge you $1,500 a day, whereas you've already put a deposit down on a studio. So you have to go. So there's kind of like, there's that end of it. And then there's also, but it really has to come from from inside. And you have to really want to do it. And I mean, you know, you're, you're, I mean, you're a creative guy. You see things. I wouldn't go that far in a different way than most of us. I wouldn't go that far. And you see you see the the humor and stuff. And you know, stuff that we would never occur the rest of us.

But that's why you make us laugh. And that's the thing is, it's that's that's an art. And let me ask you this. You said that that sunset marquee is the only hotel that you know, that you can order a microphone. What's the craziest thing you ever ordered? Room service. You're on the road. You're in the middle of nowhere. What is so much the craziest thing? It was the quantity. Are we talking grams here? What did you order? Well, enough for say 30 people. What is Don Perignon by the case? I was, I can understand at the Beverly Hills Hotel in the 70s. And it was kind of like the party central because they have bungalows out back,

you know, like, it's the 70s and everything can be cured as far as STDs go and all that. I mean, do you ever missed it? Like, I look at some of the 70s, right? Yeah. And I just really wish. I mean, of course, it's all been romanticized in books and movies and all that shit. But do you like aside, everybody likes being younger. Do you miss those days like thinking about like just how a lot freer and crazier you could be without worrying about somebody with a cell phone camera. I'm talking about single Joe Perry. I got this drinking and drug and thing under control. Like you just you're just having a good time. You're playing with your band, you're selling records and all that is a part of you that you ever just you ever like when you're driving down

sunset and just looking at spots going like, dude, I I fucking bought a kilo of Coke there and had one of the best hot dogs I've ever had in my life hanging with John Bonham or something. Do you like do memories like that still come? Yeah, I mean, there's no doubt. I mean, especially here in LA and there are a couple of places that are still, you know, the same buildings. Some of them changed the names. But I mean, there's the whiskey a go go and there's book soup, which has been there forever, which is one of the greatest bookstores going next to city lights up in Frisco. And there's one in Paris that's really good. But, but you know, there are these certain places that are still there and you know, the rainbow and the Roxy.

And who are some of the people you remember seeing in the rain, just because fans are like like me who were like nerds. It's like you just want to you just want to go to the same place that they stood in chances are if if they if if they were playing in town, you could almost guaranteed to be to see whoever was playing. And then the rest of the time, you know, a lot of people would just if they were in the middle of a tour, they had a couple days off, they would definitely come to LA to hang out because such a great scene here for you know, back then and you could literally like run into anybody. What's the craziest thing you ever saw go down at like the rainbow room or the whiskey or whatever like the most? Well, I only had out there a few times

because you don't have to name any names. I'm not trying to get you in trouble with anybody. But I just it was just a couple of times I've been there, you know, I mean, I actually probably a lot more than I remember, but it's probably a lot more than than I would forget. Maybe you're the central person in the story. You just don't remember the story. One time I saw Joe Perry, but you know, it was basically a kind of a meeting place for everybody. They would come down from the hills, you know, run into whoever and then the tables would empty out and as people would take off. And it was that kind of a place. But I haven't been up there, you know, since Jesus in forever. So I can guarantee you, I don't think they've changed anything when you walk in

there, all of the covers on the seat and everything just look like they've been there since the beginning of time. I would bet I would bet. And the whiskey is pretty much the same as I remember when we played there, our first time here in LA and then we played there not too long ago and it was pretty much the same. It was a great vibe. You know, it's kind of like the paradise. I don't even know. Has they changed the paradise at all in Boston? Yeah, dude, the paradise has been gone for I think almost 20 years. Well, I guess they've changed it. But it's probably like a club still or is it? No, you know, probably one of those fucking Panera bread things and you just thinking yeah, you two and the police started here or some of their first gigs, I guess the

United States were here. You know, I just realized as I'm sitting in here, you probably, I don't can't imagine the amount of times you've sat in a room where there was just a suit of armor over in the corner. Yeah, like some Scooby Doo shit. This seems like some real like rock star stuff like you got to have. You just got to have a suit of armor near you, right? That helps you creative process. It came with the place. Oh, it did. You know, oddly enough, I did have one in my house in in the 70s. I had a suit of armor at the door. And where do you where do you buy that? Well, it's not a real one, obviously. I mean, it's not like like one that I mean, you can tell it's just it's like a mock up of one that still looks really cool. And how do you know

it's not real? Because there's no marks on it. If you look at this, it where the screws hold it that hold it together, they kind of like didn't cut off the ends. So if you were to put it on, you'd kind of look like you just got attacked by about about 100 mosquitoes or wasps or whatever, because all those little those nails would be sticking in you. Like, if you took the helmet off, you'd see like, like the rivets sticking out. So it's really not made to. Oh, I just looked at it and I didn't see any scuff marks on it. I just figured that was like the king's son, you know, who never had to go to battle. But yeah, parade down the street. Well, that's a good observation, because it's probably true. But I mean, it's probably copied

off of off of a real one. But there are places you can get things like that. You see an odd one in, you know, odd piece in the quarter or some, some, you know, home and garden place or whatever. And, you know, I guess that's where they come from, you know, but I saw you guys at Jones Beach in like 2006, awesome, awesome show as always. And Motley Crew was opening for you guys on that tour. And they're recently there. I think this is going to be their final tour. And all that. Do you remember the, because I'm a huge, you know, being a drummer geek, I'm a huge fan of Tommy Lee. He was just like, you know, just the show that that guy puts on while also playing a beat is just amazing. I've always loved him. And I was wondering,

do you remember the first time you guys, did you tour with them during there, when they were just young guys coming up? Actually, I saw them at one of their first gigs at the Santa Monica Civic Center when I was with the project. I was out here doing some gigs. And just for the fans, was this the first time Steven left during that period? Was this like early? Because if no, no, this was during, this is when I left in 1979. And I had the, I was out here with the project. At some point, I'm not exactly sure when, but the bottom line is, is I got to see them play, you know, at the, at the Santa Monica Civic Center, which is, I don't know, three to 5,000 seats. And the buzz was out on him. So the place was pretty packed.

And is that what got you there? You just, you just heard a good buzz about them. You're like, I'm going to go check these guys out. Yeah. And they said, well, somebody said, these, these are the, this is the new hot band on the strip and should check them out. And so I went down and I'm not sure if I, if I met them then, but there were, we had a couple of friends in common. And I remember meeting Nikki Six and, and just kind of like, you know, being kind of friends with them, you know, from just kind of watching that career. And then, then we were in Vancouver doing, I think it was the second record, not, not a, not pro vacation, but I think it was the next one pump, I think. And, and there are two studios in that, in that place, Little Mountain,

up there in Vancouver, and they were in the other studio. And so we ran into each other a lot. Oh, wow. So they were probably doing a Dr. Feelgood writer on that. That was 8990, right? That's right. They were with, let's see, Mr. Rock, the, the producer was a producer in their record, I think. And Bobby Rock, right? Yeah, that was it. And he was, and they were, they were, they sounded great. And you know, we ran into him pretty much daily. And they, and of course, some of the guys, you know, would, they would tag after, after the session, they would tag along and go down to the, to the clubs, you know, Vancouver, reputably, is probably has the best,

from what I've heard, has some of the best strip clubs. You gave them a ride, right? You're like, yeah, I'm the headliner. I'll give you youngsters a ride down there. They, they knew everybody by the first name, by the time you left, I have to say. Was that hard to be around guys like that? Because I know by then you'd long since cleaned up and everything, had you had your fund basically at that point? Not at all. I mean, it was not, not an issue. I mean, they were, they were, and they, you know what? They, you know, they would party like late at night after they were done. But when they, when they came into the studio in the afternoon, they were all business, just like, you know, that's what I

figure is, is that a myth as far as people like, it's not like they walked in with a bottle of Jack Daniels and said, yeah, who, let's go. It's like, you know, they had work to do and, you know, that's, it shows because that was a great record. Hey, did you ever call anybody out for doing the iced tea in the, in the Jack Daniels bottle? You know, a couple, I've heard of a couple bands, they would put iced tea in the Jack Daniels bottle and then they'd go out in front of the crowd and act like they were crazy and they'd just be chugging iced tea. I heard about that, but I've never, you never busted anybody doing that. Never ran into anybody that did it, but I heard stories about bands doing that, but, you know, because they don't rate very high on my

respect list. That'd be like a prop act with the committee. You're gonna drink it, you might as well drink it, you know what I mean? And what's the, what's the problem if you don't? So. Well, I don't care how, the big giveaways, I don't give, I don't care how much you drink. Nobody can chug hard alcohol. You just can't do it. You can fit, like I've seen guys take big gulps, but once you start throwing the thing back, like Joe Green in that famous commercial when he's drinking Coca-Cola and even he had a couple times and a couple takes he had to stop and belcher, whatever. There's no way you could do with hard alcohol, but before, before we go any further, I wanted to ask you, you got a really cool tattoo on your forearm there of like an

old school gun. What's, what's, uh, what's the story behind that? Uh, Smith and Wesson, uh, Breaktop, Schofield, uh, I guess it was designed back in the 1800s. Oh, yeah. And, uh, it's, I, I, I just like the shape of it. It's one of my favorite, favorite designs. It's an old revolver and, uh, you know, it's a place in New Orleans. I, I didn't, I had an acting gig down there and, uh, somewhere in the French quarter, they had all these old guns and rifles. You ever been in there? I've dropped way too much money in that place. Yeah. I wanted to buy my dad this, this, it was a rifle from like the, from 1812, right? It was insane. And they even had the bayonet and everything and my dad likes that type of shit. But the thing was for me to get it from Louisiana all the way

up, like first of all, I couldn't get it shipped because Massachusetts has some sort of laws. Right. So then I'd have to, would have had to buy it and then drive it up there. And as, as I was crossing state borders, I just kept thinking about Tommy Chong when he set the bongs out and shit. And all of a sudden he had the feds at his door and, you know, who the fuck is going to drive from New Orleans all the way to Massachusetts and drive 55? It's not going to be me. I'm going to drive 80 at some point and be like, I'm fine. It's, it's tough to, I think that the big musket hanging out the back, you know, again, without getting into, into the politics of things. I mean, I just think that the, that things should be a little more, things should

be a little more standardized as far as firearms go. I think they should be, I mean, people should be given at least, you know, put through more schooling before they're given a permit and, and it should be more standardized from state to state because there are some states where it's, it's easier to get firearms and there are other states where it's really hard and it's, it is hard to, it's hard to, to, to, it's hard to, to keep track of it. Yeah. And it's insane how in some states you can basically just go in and buy it and not have to prove any sort of capability. I mean, it'd be like given like somebody doesn't know how to drive keys to a car. It's like, they're going to kill somebody. But honestly, I don't have a problem with guns. I think they're

cool as long as the right person owns it, which is the bigger course, flying the ointment. But what are some of your, you liked the gun you just mentioned there? What are some of your, your go-to guns like, right? And some of the modern stuff, what do you like? Well, I'm not really a, I mean, I have a few modern, modern firearms. I collect all kinds of weapons. I've even got a, an old Greek sword that's made out of bronze. It's all like, it's green and it's, it's actually quite small. So somebody broke into your house. Very small, you know, I mean, they were, people were smaller than, you know, and, and so everything is like seems a little smaller. But anyway, if somebody broke into your house, you can't tell

me if they're coming up the stairs, right? And the only weapon you see is that old Greek sword. Parties got to be like, God, that cost me a fortune. Well, do I really want to run this guy through with it? What they're going to be doing is focusing on that while I walk up behind them with my shotgun. Oh, you're a shotgun inside guy. Well, I do have, you know, I mean, they're reliable. They're, and what about, what about like, understand as a, you, if you're in that situation, there's a level of panic that comes with it. And I've never been in that situation, fortunately. And I hope it stays that way. But, you know, I'm not, I've never been in the army. I've never been trained. And, you know, so I kind of look at things like the easiest thing that would be to

have, you know, around for, for, if somebody got that far, you know, would be something that would be very easy to use and shotgun comes into that heading. So, but again, it's like, it's an efficiency thing. I've always, you know, because I've actually, you know, I tore through the south and I always tell them they're out of their minds to have a shotgun in their house. I got a whole bit coming out on my next special about it, where I always think all you need is like a 22. Because it's easy to, my big thing is you can, you're, when you're in the dark, if you shoot, you can still hear. It doesn't, you've already lost your sight. It's not going to take away your hearing too. And people always laugh at a 22, but it's like, dude, if I had it

loaded 22 and I pointed it at you, you're diving, you're running away. And if I started shooting you with it, you wouldn't be laughing going, this is the 22. I could shoot you with a BB gun. You can be like, I'm going to get the fuck out of here. People, people, you know, and also it's kind of hard to tell, you know, what it is you have in your hand. The whole thing is so much, there's so much psych psychology that goes along with it. And I've studied a lot of that because again, you know, if you're going to have, it's a great responsibility to own firearms. And I've done a lot of studying, I've worked with people, I haven't actually gone to any of the places where you can go to train, but I've talked to a lot of instructors and so on. And from when I

gather, handguns are probably the least effective. And even in the hands of trained, trained people, people miss. I think that Hemingway said that of all, of all the weapons out there, the weapon that misses the most is a handgun because there's so much moving and so much going on. And I would think just the sound alone, I'm hearing a gun, I'm not going to be sitting there if I'm breaking your house, counting shots like they do in the movie. And that'll be at the bottom going, Joe, I know you're out of bullets. Yeah, come out with the, I mean, I'm not going to fight. The second somebody starts shooting at me, I'm thinking, I'm going to go rob another house. I would just think people would do that. But I don't know. You know what? I did see you on that

show. Was it Son of a Gun? Son's of Guns. Son's of Guns, man. That must have been fun as hell. For people who don't know, I don't even know if it's still on. There's so many frigging channels and shows, but these guys just, it was like a hot rod show, except it was guns. And these guys would just make these insane weapons. And then people got to come on the show. You know, they'd weld like M60s to like the top of a Prius or something like that, right? What did you get to shoot on that? Like some anti aircraft guns? They had a couple of hot rodded, so to speak, you know, like M60s and things like that. So we shot those. But the main thing was I had this old kid that was actually from the 1800s. And I really didn't know much about it. And they kind of

cleaned it up a little bit and got into the serial number. And it was actually a military issue. And it was actually a naval gun. And when two ships are at sea and they want to transport like a cargo or a person or something back and forth, they need to send a line from one ship to the other. So they use this cannon, which is it's only about three feet long. And they shoot this, this lead dart over to the other boat. And it takes a rope with it. Then they put, they attach a bigger rope to it, then a bigger rope and a bigger rope. And then finally they have this pulley thing so they can transport stuff back and forth. So that's what that's what it was for. How many people think accidentally got killed on the other ship? You know, when they even know

that they knew that they were shooting it over, it was just such not an exact science. You didn't really take wind, you know, you kind of wet your finger back then, right? I have a feeling that people would probably keep their heads up watching where the thing was going. I mean, I'm sure you go to a baseball game, somebody gets dinged in the head all the time. They're just fucking sitting there. And these guys are like trying to hit 100, 90, 100 mile an hour pitches. And there's always somebody just sitting there eating and talking. And they get they always get hit in the chest. Thank God, like a few people are actually getting hit in the head. But I got to ask you this something about cannons that I realized as I was talking to

you. My only knowledge of cannons is what I've seen in cartoons. I'm not even trying to be funny here. And there's there's they try to make it look like, you know, the thing that they stick in there is like a little bomb. And then they shoot it and explodes. But it's really just a giant like ball made out of metal. And that gets launched through gunpowder, right? So this is this giant metal ball that pokes a hole in your ship and sinks it? Well, some of them are from what I understand, because I've read quite a few historic novels. And that part of that part of history fascinates me, you know, the tall ships and all that. And apparently, some of the some of the things they would put in there would actually be filled with gunpowder with a with a fuse. So when it

would when it would get shot off, it would, you know, it was very inaccurate. And, you know, it was a while work. But it would, it would, you know, it would land on the ship and hopefully explode, but whatever. Well, that goes back to the dart. I'm saying it's very inaccurate. They'd shoot. Yeah. And they probably somebody caught it in the leg, right? And then they got a sawed off. They just give him some wisdom, right? I tell you, medicine was not anything near what we think, you know, think of medicine, you know, up to the up to the end of the night of the 18th century, it was like, just basically that, you know, if you've got a hangnail, foot comes and is coming off or, you know, it was really bad. Do that thing just to stitch you up, they just stick your leg

in a fire. Yeah, quick, easy, cheap, you know, isn't it amazing, like the amount of pain that you can actually take? Do you know, I saw this thing as far as like horrific ways, horrific ways to die. They had this thing, okay, you did something, they decided that you were going to die and they had this giant, like it was like a fucking brass cow or some sort of animal made out of some sort of metal, right? And they would stick you in the fucking thing. How they ever got you in because I would have just killed myself. They stick you in the fucking thing, they close it up, and then they light a fire underneath it, and they would just basically cook you. I've always thought about that laying in there as it's getting hot, bouncing all around

like someone who fucking fell off a motorcycle trying not to have the heat on you for too long. Right. It's just the fucking agony and how these people could just sit there and who's that guy used to, they'd put you on a, what the fuck did they call the impaler? Oh yeah, Vlad, the Dracula they called him. I love how you said that like you knew him. Oh yeah, Vlad. Well, I mean, I've read that stuff, you know, I've all read it, we've seen it in movies, and you know, he's the Vlad the Impaler, and what it means to me is the way that people have invented to fuck other people up over the years, it just blows my mind. What's the worst one you ever heard? Oh god, well that was pretty close. I mean, that really like that, and I can't imagine being, I mean, I love horses,

but I can't imagine being tied to four of them. You know what I mean? And then having somebody yell, okay, pull a little harder, not even like, you know, get up and go and like making it short, but like actually just kind of like, oh, they would slowly had them walk apart. I mean, that kind of thing, that's that sounds like a pretty rotten way to go. Those people listening at home would don't, you basically they would tie, you know, your wrist to one horse, you know, your wrist to another, your ankle to one, and they would walk in four different directions, and then they'd slowly fucking dislocate your joints, and then eventually just pull you apart. And that's, yeah, I would just be screaming. One thing I do want to say, one thing I do want to say,

going back to something we were talking about before, which was about, you know, home and home defense and all that. But one of the things that I've learned from talking to umpteen people about this, and that is that a dog, any size dog is probably the most effective thing you could have in your house for safety. And just because the main thing is, is getting some enough time to either deal with, to deal with what you have to deal with, make the 911 call, you know, jump out the window if that's what has to happen, pull out whatever your last ditch weapon of choice is. But the main thing is buying some time, and a dog will basically send the guy off to somebody else's house, and then it's their problem. I got a dog, my dog will do that like every once in a while.

I'll be sleeping, and I get so terrified, I'm just sleeping all of a sudden, dog just starts going, yeah, and I sit there going like what, and I sit, I'm such a coward, immediately like, and then I'm thinking like, I should have got a gun, I should have bought a gun, you know, I wish I had a bat here or something. Well, I got, that's, that's a good thing. Yeah, I have a knife, this cop told me a knife is stupid, because you got to get in closely, at least to have a bat. Yeah. But the dog, and again, a dog, a small dog, any dog that's, you know, becomes part of the family, he's going to protect the pack, and he's going to let somebody know, and that really, they've, on all the lists I've ever seen, they've put, they're like in the top

three things you could, you could have, it could be the best thing. That's awesome. Anyway, I just got to ask, I got to wind down here, because I got, I got a, another freaking thing I got to run to, once again, sorry that I didn't have a extra mic cord. That's okay. That's pretty professional, man. Hey, hey, I didn't mention you went over there twice, because the other thing, first one you brought didn't fit my stupid mixer. That's, yeah, it actually goes to an old, to an old microphone that like an old, an old style one that needs power. So it had two, two more extra prongs and it didn't work. So the reality is, is I showed up unprepared, but I got it. Let me ask you, can I ask you some music geek questions here? Sure. Okay. Whatever you want, man. All

right. The best live band, other than your own band, best live band you ever saw? Well, I have to say, my theory is, is that a rock and roll show, if we're talking about rock and roll, rock and roll, is the interaction, interaction between the fans and the band. And a lot of times you might be in a club and it might not even be a big band, but they, they, they've got good songs and they're, they're getting the audience off and the audience has given them love and the, the band has given it back and you get that feeling like, wow, this is magic. And right then they might be the best band. You know, that night they're the best band and you know, you, you walk away and you feel great and it was like an incredible show. So that's kind of like what we strive for as a band. We try and

do that, try and get that magic going. And that, that's the thing you can't, you can line everything up, make sure the guitars are in tune, make sure everything's working. But it's really about, you know, hooking up with the audience and, and having that, that interaction and having that excitement. And I have to say that, that one of the shows that, that I've seen recently was actually the Stones. I mean, and it sounds like, you know, yeah, of course, pick the Stones, but it was, I've seen them on nights when they just weren't that good, you know, I've seen them when they were, were really good back in the 60s. But this particular night, we were on the road in Germany and they played a place in Berlin and they sounded incredible. And it was like,

it was one of those nights where they, where everything just locked together and you could see, you know, 50 years of experience. You could hear everything. It was a, it was a, a perfect, a perfect venue. It only held about 5,000 people. And I was blown away. I mean, I, you know, I mean, I figured it would be like, you know, well, that there, you know, it would be like, wow, they're really good for 70. No, they were as good as any band I'd ever seen. And they were as good as any of the great shows I saw in the, in, in the day. And they, they, they knocked me out, man. I have to say, you know, who, uh, anybody, any young players out there, uh, it's crazy now trying to figure out who the guys are because there's no centralized area for music anymore.

But there are any young players out there that you watch them play and they inspire you like, man, I got to go home and practice or I want to, I want to try to take my, you know, like just as a comedian to try to relate it. Like, you know, I love new comics and I love seeing somebody, there's nothing I love more than seeing a young comic that I know is going to be great. And, um, and you're seeing, they got the hunger, they got the drive, they got the talent, and you know that they're going to, you just know, you know, they're going to do it. I always, that always gives me like a jolt of energy because I remember what that was like, uh, being their age and stuff and like how it, you know, just sort of trying to recapture like, you know, because sometimes you

can get into the grind of it. I was wondering if there was any like bands that are out right now that, that make you like, fuck man, I, you know, maybe you're not near your guitar and you just like, fuck, I wish I had my guitar on my hand right now. I want to just, just start making music. I don't know. I, I, I hear some good, some good music. I was in the studio the other day and there was a band that was being, uh, they were recording and you know, the vocal wasn't on it yet and but the music sounded like it, it had like some real potential. Uh, it's a really hard question because it's like there are a lot of technically great players and there's a few like really great players that are really young. Uh, they're, they have, uh, uh, there's so much on the internet.

Uh, I mean, you can, I mean, back when I was growing up, I had to find, I had to struggle to find somebody who even played guitar, much less, uh, you know, get a, get a lesson. You know, you know, I fucked up my foot. I fucked up my foot trying to figure out John Bonham's bass drum technique because I was trying to do with my, like my big toe and I was like arch in my foot and I got like, uh, what do you call it, that plantar fissureitis? Really? And now it's like, you can go, because all I had was like a record player and speakers and you're sticking your, you slow it down and now like, you know, you just go on YouTube and somebody just shows you. Yeah. It's like a slide step. You

just kind of move your whole foot and it's like, you know, your leg goes up once but you get two hits and it's just, and then I'm watching like some fucking kid, like eight years old playing all that stuff and I'm just like, it's, they, they can get like a year's worth of drum lessons or guitar lessons in, in one night on YouTube. It's incredible. That's exactly it. And you know, I mean, that it's all spelled out and that's why I think there are a lot of, a lot of good guitar players out there that are technically good. They can play, play all the stuff, but still, it still comes down to writing a good song, writing something that, that, you know, is a little bit original and, you know, and, and it's entertaining and it still comes down to that.

You could be a, you could be a wizard on guitar, but unless you're a guitar freak, you know, as far as like, you know, entertaining your average rock fan, you still got to write, write a good song. You got to connect. You know what I mean? And it's, and no matter, you know, whether it's like, you know, you got 6,000 computers and you got, you know, it's running through tape machines and all, you know, like you got all the best equipment, unless you got a good song, you still got nothing. So that will never change. Let me ask you, because I gotta, I gotta wrap up here as far as your book that's out. First of all, where, where can fans get it? I know it's on Amazon. If there's any local bookstores left.

There's a few, actually, there's a lot more than I expected. I mean, I went through probably six or seven cities and most of them, we went to, I think we only, we did a couple of bars in Noble, but we did mostly more mom and pop kind of places. But what I found out was most of them do their business online. And so there's, there's some competition for Amazon, you know, it keeps everybody kind of honest. There's nobody's got a monopoly, you know, so, but basically the best thing to do is, is either order from your local bookstore, support the, the, you know, mom and pop kind of places or, you know, get it from, from Amazon. And right now, hopefully it should still be on the shelves. And I know I signed a bunch of them. So there's still, there's still an

opportunity to get some that have been signed, you know, but people buy the book. Is there a favorite story or one that comes to mind if you got a quick one that you want to tell here at the end? Is it basically, is it stories about you on the road with these guys? Is it, is it the whole thing like Joe? It's a, it's, it's an autobiography from the time I put both feet on the ground. You know what I mean? It's from 19, from, it's, it's 64 years, man, of life. Well, I've been a part of that is Aerosmith, you know. Yeah. I've been a fan of you for so long that I know some of the story. I already remember like you told some cool story in some other interview where you, how you ended up getting

into guitar. You were a young kid and there was these older guys sitting on the front porch playing guitar and you're like, ah, it just sounded really cool. Just so that you captured your attention. Um, I, well personally, I cannot wait to read it. And I am like fascinated with that whole period of music that you came up in. And I also liked that whole thing where you guys, you know, had to stick your ear to a speaker or try and slow it down. And because I find a lot of times when I'm, you know, I mess around with guitar too. And I try to watch somebody play it then turn my back to the video because, right, because then people like the person will literally break it down, show you that where they put their fingers and stuff and people will still ask for

tabs. And I'm just looking at like, don't you ever want to have the freedom to like, basically, I've always figured becoming literate in music means you could listen to it and figure it out where if you always had to have tabs and everything was almost like you couldn't even read, you know what I mean? Right. So I'm going to have to hold your hand. And, uh, like, I think there's a lot of people out there that can really play all this shit. But if you just played it on a record, can you sit down? Maybe you don't need to do it anymore because there's someone who will break it down for you. But, uh, but anyways, dude, I'm such a huge fan of you and your band and all the stuff that you guys have done. I never even thanked you for all the great music. I mean,

it's basically a soundtrack of my youth. I love all your stuff. And so psych for this book. I cannot wait to read it. Once again, it's called Joe Perry, my life in and out of Aerosmith. So psyched, I finally got you here on the podcast. Yeah. Good luck with the allergies. Thanks for showing all your stories about guns and all this other stuff. I hope I asked you some different questions. You did. It was great. And we'll have to do this again because I was, like I said, I was looking forward to it. I've been looking forward to it before the book. Or, you know, I mean, uh, you know, I mean, the main reason was because we're from Boston. Yeah. It's great to hear the accent. I know. I can't get rid of it. I ran into it. By the way, do it again. We'll talk about

Boston some more. You know, definitely, definitely. All right. Joe Perry, his new book, my life in and out of Aerosmith is available all over the internet. And if you got a mom and pop store down the street, you want to help them out bookstore down there, please go down and pick it up. Joe Perry, thank you so much for listening to the Monday Money Podcast. Hope to see you soon. What's up, everybody? And welcome back to the Anything Better Podcast. And we are here for our NFL preview of week 11 coming up with our sponsor, BedMGM, of course, the best lines out there. Last week, we didn't lose a game. Last week, we actually, uh, I kind of stayed status quo two and two. Did Bill, Bill, did you go three and one?

Yeah, one, three and one. Oh, Billy gained the game. Oh, three and one. Yeah. Wait, who was your, uh, who was your loss? I'm making the prevent defense work for me. Who was your loss? Your own loss. You know who it was, you fucking asshole. No, I don't. Yeah, you do. When I went up against you. I don't know who. Don't, don't do that, Sicilian. I swear to God, dude. I fell off the truck. I went head to head with you and you picked the right team. There you go, Paul. There you go. You got it. Holy shit. It fell off. Jacksonville, Florida, man. We were down here shooting guns with silencers. Fucking alligator. It tastes like shit, by the way. It does not taste like chicken. That alligator nugget was fucking horrible, dude. It made me sick and I still remember

the texture of it. It was gross. It was horrible. That alligator is fucking terrible. I don't get a bunch of people go, why don't you cook it? Well, going into week 11, guys, before we get started, we have to talk about our great sponsor, BedMGM, the best lines, um, up to date, live lines, BedMGM, get with them. And here's how you do it. How do you do it, Bill? Here's how you do it. Here's how you do it. All you got to do is download the BedMGM app and then you put a bonus code in BRR. That's B-U-R-R. It's very simple and guess what they're going to give you, guys? All you got to do is a minimum of $10 in the account and you get up to $1,000 in free bets, even if you lose. Just download the app. Get up to $1,000. Download the app. I don't know, dude. I'm trying to fight a cold.

I've had it for two weeks. I'm trying to fight it. I'm fighting it. We're arrested by them. But just use bonus code B-U-R-R. That's BRR. Bonus code BRR. Go. They're going to put in a, you put in a minimum of 10. You get $1,000 up to $1,000 in free bets. So there you go. It's easy to use. The lines are live constantly and here we go. So we're going into week 11. You know why we're both sick, Paul? Because we got the vaccine. That's what they don't want you to know. Yep. Ever since I got that Moderna, I've been a different person. I've had cancer four times since I got Pfizer. My wife told me I'm a different man. I'm not the man she married since I got injected. I got an x-ray and they said I have 19 microchips in me. Dude, I'll tell you what I did.

I'll tell you what I did. And then we'll get going to these picks. But you know this because you grew up in a dentist's office. Dude, I decided to not get one implant, but I decided to get two in the same sitting. And hey, I got to tell you, hey, the last 70 hours haven't been great, okay? Anybody does dentist work? Do one at a time. That's what I've learned. It takes longer. Do one at a time. You know, do the whole thing. I was fucking numb for a half a day. It was brutal. Yeah, but he gave you the option. You chose it. Yeah, I go, can I do two in a day? And they just go like, I should have known when they go, yeah, I mean, you can. But don't blame that the dentist always gets blamed. Because you can. I go, okay. But yeah. I want the fact that you destroyed your

teeth and now you had to go in there. How the fuck do you need two implants at your age? One one just got something happened with one a long time ago and the other one. You didn't take care of it. Okay, you don't question floss. No, I floss. I floss. I floss. This tooth guy. I'm not talking about how you dress, Paul. I floss, Bill. All right, we're going in, we're going into week 11. I actually think, okay, call me optimistic. Hey, I'm, hey, that's Paul. Nice. He's optimistic. I think we're starting to learn about NFL teams now. That's why, you know, so I think I've seen enough. I think we'll see though. Oh, Andrew, what are the records? To wanting to know. It's a crap shooter every fucking week. When you're not winning, you're

going like, I'm not seeing it. And then when you start winning, you're going like, you know, and I think I'm starting to know these things. I'm not winning though. I'm not winning. I think I'm starting to, you know, no, I'm not really like, I'm 500. Dude, I'm not winning. Two and two is not winning. I'm two and two or one and three every fucking week. I'm not winning. But I think Bill Parcells was right with what he said. And you know what Bill Parcell said? He said, you are what your fucking record is. And that's why the fucking packer stink. So that's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to have some hope here, Bill. I'm grasping for straws here. Andrew, what are our records? I want to give you that Dick Gregory thing when he fucking yells at that camera. He

talks about hope. Oh, I saw, I know I posted that. You can't have hope, motherfucker. It's like, all right, dude, stop yelling at me. It's hoping to pay the rent, motherfucker. It's hoping to pay the rent and fucking hope. I hope I get a cup of coffee this morning. So I will get that shit, motherfucker. And you're like, all right, all right. Hey, rough morning. Okay. What are our records, Andrew? Bill is 1819 and don't ask what our records are. Tell us that record, motherfucker. You think hope is going to get you to 500? Bill, what's Bill? What's Bill? 1819 and three. Oh, oh, that means I got my nose here above 500 with the ties. You're over 500 by half a game. My half a game up. He's beating the book. He's beaten the book.

He's fucking we're back. He's beating the book. What am I, Andrew? The book is fucking breathing down my neck. 1722 and one. 1722 and one. Okay, so I'm four and a half games back. Okay. All right. All right. Paul didn't like that. That's tongue of it. I saw it. Yeah, I wanted it. I was sure it isn't quite as white right now. Paul Paul Paul. You want to know something next week? We're gonna hear about it. You want to know something? My friend knows me well because I wanted that number to be one or two less. It bugged me. It bugged me. He knows. He knows. All right. You look like that guy who took a punch and was trying to pretend it didn't hurt. Okay. Here we go. Week 11. I believe it's my pick first. I wouldn't have touched the Packers,

but I was thinking about it. I'm glad we didn't do this yesterday. You know something? The Green Bay packing it in. What I did not like is the Jets Patriots line changed by half a point and it's the perfect change. So I don't like it. What is it? What is it? What is it? It used to be Packers minus three at home. Patriots. Patriots. I mean, I'm sorry. It used to be Patriots minus three. Now it's three and a half and that's our division rival and they played the Patriots. The Jets played the Patriots really good last time until Zach Wilson floated up a couple of interceptions. I think the Patriots could win. I don't like the point five, so I'm staying away. I was going to touch it though. I must have old minds because

mine still said three. All right. Here we go, dude. What are we going to do here? All right. You're on the clock. This is a crazy one, dude, but I'm going to do it, man. I'm going to do it. I think the Eagles got exposed a little bit. I think they're still a really, really great team, but I like the Colts at home. You fucking bastards. I like the Colts. You're stepping on my bets, dude. I'm getting tired of it. The Colts has been my team the whole fucking year. I see what you're doing. No. I was going to take the Patriots, your fucking shit on that, and now you're coming up. Oh, yeah. Built one last week with the fucking Colts. Now I'm going to do it because I've been riding the Raiders in the pack.

Copycat League, Paul. I see what you're doing. Dude, I was complaining about the Colts when we were in Arizona live. Are you kidding me? Copycat League, Paul. I see what you're doing. All right. Where the fuck are my bets here? I'm just going to take, I'll take the Colts plus six and a half at home. Oh, will you, Paul? And you'll get a nice big, fat victory, you fucking Colts. I don't know. Yeah, you're fucking, you know what you're doing. Your Lance Armstrong right now. You're drafting off of my bets. Never, dude. Paul actually took the Colts. I'm going to start taking his fucking team. Dude, I take the Colts. Paul actually took the Colts the first two weeks then. I don't want to hear facts. And then nobody took the Colts all season. Guys, I'm fucking around. I'm fucking

around. Okay. All right. Bears plus three versus the Falcons. I'll take that. Oh. Listen, Paul, I'm trying to put the fucking juju on my fucking thing. Oh, whoa. All right, here we go. Was that a little negative fucking vibe on my bet there, Paul? No, no, no. Is this the whole medication, Paul? Oh, you're not the happy go lucky guy I love seeing every week. No, man, I'm just deciding. Are the Giants due for a fucking disappointing loss, dude, against the Lions at home? I mean, they beat the Texans, the Texans. Paul, you're just stepping all over my fucking dance shoes this week. No. Every game you're talking about, I was taking. Go ahead, go ahead, Paul. You son of a bitch.

No, but I don't like it. I don't like it. Oh, they call them all Paulie, Heming and Hawn this week. You fucking talked about the Patriots for three minutes and then say you weren't touching the game. Paul, people have to go to work. All right. No, I like this week and now all of a sudden they're changing lines by half a point because they know they know Paulie like this week. They know that they know the word was in. Hey, guys, Paulie likes this week. We've got to change the line. All right, dude. I'm going to take the Los Angeles. All right, dude. I'm going to take the Los Angeles Chargers. I'm going to take the Los Angeles Chargers plus five and a half at home against the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been doing something I noticed lately where they get off

to fast starts just like they did against Jacksonville and then they kind of fucking go to sleep and they let teams come back. I think the Chargers are kind of have a little bit of a roll right now and I like the five and a half at home. I could see the Chiefs winning towards the end and then the Chargers getting a fucking non-important touchdown to make it close and beat the book. I got the Chargers to cover plus five and a half in Los Angeles. All right. You took my fucking cold spec. Let's see here. I actually like the Giants minus three versus the Lions. I think the Lions are a hapless organization. They're a family run organization. They're everything that Giants aren't. The Giants from top to bottom are a class organization that

knows how to fucking win football games and they've always been great with defense. It's only three points. The Lions stink. I'm taking your Giants, Paul. I'm walking into your house, Paul. I'm sitting down at your table and I'm eating your fucking food. I'm taking your Giants. What is it? Is it wait? Is it three and a half or three? It's three. Okay. It's fucking three. I should have taken them. Well, Vegas knew you weren't so they kept it at three so my dumb ass would take them. But I'm going to tell you what the lock of the week is. Okay. I can't believe you didn't take it in the beginning. A good take. Coming off the loss on the road.

Coming off. I'm actually going to take the road. Washington Commanders minus three. They are flying right now. They went into Philly. They won. They're getting there fucking. Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Yeah. Here's Copycat League, Paul. You're taking all my teams this week. Whoa. What? Taking all my teams this week. I had the Commanders Monday night. I called it that they were going to win. Now you're acting like it never happened. Like Giuliani. Like you were the one who cleaned up the city. I see what you're doing. Oh, he's got to get some credit for cleaning up the city. I mean, he went on that pile. No, he didn't. It was just fucking Commissioner. It was Commissioner Gordon cleaned it up and then he got rid of them. And it was like, it was all me.

It was all the three. I'm going to take the Washington Commanders minus three against the Texans. The Texans just, they just defense is not good. They don't have a quarterback. And they, the Washington Commanders are getting their defensive star back. Chase Young, the Ohio State Buckeye, who fucking shot out of a cannon and then got hurt real bad. He's coming back. I got Washington minus three. You're out of your mind. You got to stay away from the Texans. You don't know who they are. They're a fucking stripper. You don't know what they're going to do. They're going to fall shit to the ATM and they're going to fucking, got to raise them under their tongue. They're fucking crazy. Dude, they're one, eight and one or one, seven and one. They stink. I'm

not talking about that. I'm talking about against the spread. Oh, all right. I'm going to take the Panthers just because they get in 13 and a half points and I figure the Ravens are going to beat the fuck out of them, take their foot off the gas and give them a touchdown at the end of the fucking game to run down the clock. And that's going to cover it because nobody plays football, Paul, for 60 minutes anymore. That line moves from yesterday, Bill, from 13 and a half to 13. Oh, you know why? Because they knew I was going to take, I'm going to give a shit. I'll take 13 points. I'm going to take the New Orleans Saints minus three against the reeling Cooper, coupless Rams. I think that, uh, I don't love the Saints, but I don't love the Rams either.

I don't trust the Rams. Paul, he thinks the Saints are going to come marching in. Yeah. I think the Rams are going to march in there. Rams all went to Applebee's after that Super Bowl and I don't think mentally they've come back. I don't know what's going on. I mean, look, injuries are injuries, but, uh, they are one of the most inconsistent fucking teams out there. They're coming off a brutal loss though, Paul. Yeah. I don't, I think three. I don't like that game on the road in the dome. I like the Saints. I think the Rams, no Cooper. I love the Saints. I love New Orleans too. I don't know when the Saints, I fucking hate the Rams. I hate these fucking teams that they just won't be who they are. You know?

Hey, Bill, Bill. Oh, when the Saints come marching in and they cover for Paulie. He's going to get a pair of their Jordans and start talking shit about the book. I'm seeing it now. I see the games. Sorry. Um, all right. Here's my one crazy pick for the fucking week. I don't know what I'm going to do here. I might take the patch, lay in three and a half, but I think I'm going to beat the Jets twice. Is that really going to happen, Paul? Jets beat the bills. I'm going to stay away from that game too, Paul, as much as I fucking shit on you and your gorgeous figure skater hoodie. I'm going to stay away from that game and, uh, I don't know why, but I'm going to take the Raiders get two and a half in Denver with my old division rivalry,

which I've heard you, you're starting to come around that fall. You're coming to that church of the original division rivalry games are always close. Um, the Broncos with, with, with fucking, uh, Lando Calrissian is their quarterback. Like nobody's fucking shooting to share with them. They can't text them. I just don't think that there's anything going on in there. The fucking Raiders stink though. They do stink. So, so does Denver though. Both of them stink. Denver stinks too. Who won the, who won that first game when they played each other? Um, Andrew. Broncos, did they go into the Raiders? Um, beautiful stadiums. I think it was a super close game, but.

Well, why did you take my Colts? Why did you fuck up my week and take my goddamn Colts? You know, I'm not saying I don't still love you, but like, I really took that one personally. Of all the things you've done to me over the years, Paul, for you to take the fucking Colts in week 11, all I've done to you over the years is be a friend. They lost in week, uh, the Broncos lost in week four, uh, to, uh, the Raiders 23 to 32. All right. Fuck that. They're not, they're not going to fucking lose to them twice. They should, but they won't because the Raiders are the Raiders. All right. So now what I have to do, Paul, is I have to pull a game out of my ass over here.

You also got to get back on camera. Yeah. I think you tapped the, uh, hey, sometimes the mystery of it is what's great. You know what? Is that, is that Bill's Brown's game still seven and a half? Yes. I fucking hate that game and I hate the Bengal Steelers. Like who fuck knows what's going to happen there. Um, you know what? Fuck the Browns. The Bill's came on off a heartbreak and loss. Um, Oh, make sure you cross operators. One in three written all over it. This fucking week has one in three written all over it. Paul, he throws a fucking wrench in there. Um, yeah, it's the

Browns. Why do they have to be seven and a half though? They're going to go into the prevent. Fuck me. That's all right. I'll take them. I'll take the bills. You know, Paul, you can catch up this week. You know, let me ask you real quick. I got a number for you. 1,455. What does that mean to you? 1,455. Uh-huh. I just saw you in your high school career. Anytime you got asked a question, you repeated the question to buy some time knowing full well, you didn't have the answer. What is the Pythagorean theorem? I know it. I know it. I know it. 1,455. The amount of times my wife broke my balls. Oh, okay. That's how many days since I had a drink. Oh my god. How sad is that? Dude, I'm on day eight. No, I'm on day 11 right now. I got to tell you something,

dude. Being sober is the greatest thing ever, man. It is. Paul, do you know why they say, you know, when you're sober, you go, I slept like a baby? That's because babies don't drink and smoke cigars. They're like, you know, if you're raising a baby right, it's straight edge. It's completely sober. So the only thing is they get mad because they don't understand being tired. But once they go to bed, that's it. They're out. They're out. They're like that sweaty head out. Yeah. Oh, that nap. I know that nap. The little wet side, the wetness right here. Oh, dude, you know, my son doesn't want to get up. Sometimes I go in there. I get it. And I come walking and I'm like, hey, buddy, you want to get up? And he just looks at me for a second. He goes,

like, all right. Dude, the more you, the more I learned about that kid, the more, dude, my mom said her girlfriends thought something was wrong with me. They're like, didn't he go down for a nap at 10 and then like woke up like before dinner? Dude, I, dude, I spin down. I like staying down. I play hard. I, you know, I play hard. I rest hard. What can you do, Andrew? Oh, I would have loved to see Paul, baby, baby, Paul Verzi would have been the greatest thing ever. Oh, dude, dude, I was like one of the only kids that didn't rush up on Christmas morning. I was, I was like, the presents aren't going anywhere. My younger brother would be like, he's not coming. They have it on camcorder, like the big camcorders. They walked into the bedroom. It's pitch black.

And they go, come on. I go, huh? I go, you want to go? And you just hear my younger brother go to my parents. He's not getting up. Fucking Christmas morning. Um, dude, you are hilarious. Your ancestors left them at its rainy, but you never did. That's shit. You do. You get it. You understand. Remember, we were on your butt. Remember, we were on the bus tour. I'd wake up around 10, 30, 11 every day on the bus tour and I'd wake up to here in Bartnick, Burr and whoever else was on the bus, sitting up, watching TV and I would just walk into the main cabin and they would just start laughing with the look on my face. You remember that? Because you would get up at 11 30 and you look like somebody woke you up at four in the morning. I never seen a guy like you wake up to.

There's an element of this. The only time of the day that you're like visibly upset. You say you look like somebody to the fact that your sleep time is over. Yeah, I remember you said to me once you go, Versey, why do you look like somebody wronged you? Yeah, that's how you. I remember we did that tour through Canada. My whole fucking thing was, I figured you out quick. I was like, Paul has to make the first call of the day. I can't text them and ask what he wants. Dude, you were in the best mood. Every place we stayed, you came downstairs. You're like, dude, is it me? Or was that the greatest bed you've ever slept in in your life? And all it was was you got to sleep until we were getting up to that was such a fucking great

trip. I had a little I had little babies at the time. They were really young and dude, me and you were together every day. I believe 22 shows for 20 days, 22 or 23 days. We did not fight one time because yeah, we figured each other. That was when we figured each other out. Bill was like, I'm going to hear from Versey at 11. So we'll go to lunch. We just had it down, dude. You got to know your tendencies down. I broke it down. My Paul likes to fucking sleep. I don't. That's going to be a problem. Leave him alone. Let him text you. Let him call you, Paul. That's that right there, Paul. That's how that's how you fucking stay married. That's that's that's what a friendship I figured out my wife's tendencies. I know the areas where I enjoy her. I still do most of them,

but I do enough of them, not anymore. I always got lost in my old sentence there. All right, we got the money. Bill, you know what time it is. Bill, you know what time it is. Oh, shit. Oh, by the way, I have to say this about you, my friend. I have to say this about you. Okay, I'll keep it to yourself. Your fucking Washington commanders call not only forget the pick winning, forget the pick coming in. Okay, because that dude, you said why it would happen. And even though we didn't hit the Monday night special, because that fucking asshole didn't throw a touchdown, everything else we had, we had the over, we had the commanders, he didn't throw. But people said, dude, I made some money taking Washington great pick. But

Bill, you broke down, you actually said on camera, Paulie, not only do I think they're going to cover, they could win this fucking game. And then you said why, and that's what happened. Now, I said they could, though. No, but you said it was called it. I said that they were going to win it. Well, what do you think this week, Bill, this week, we got the Arizona with the Patriots are undefeated and you were just going like, you know, I don't know, man, I mean, I think the giants could surprise some people today, you hatched your bet. So when they did, you were like, what did I say? What did you say you said they could maybe win today? You know, it's funny about that game. I remember I texted you, I texted you. This is before we

kind of knew each other. I texted you. And you talk about feeling each other's tendencies, I started to learn about like what to say what you would sports when you don't know you, versus what to say what you when you do know you. And I just go, dude, the giants came to play today and you just texted back, Paul, it's the Super Bowl. And I fucking almost fell down laughing. I tell you what, Bill, they look like they're really into this game. They really look like they're into the Super Bowl. That whole fucking season was the most overhyped sports change that year. Oh, shit. Where's the line go? Hold on. All right, Bill, we got this. We got this chance. No, what are you talking about? They will undefeated. I always say we played

each other last game of the year. We won on the last play. I was at that game, dude. That was 36 to like 33. And then no, it was 38, 35. Oh, by the point, whatever the fuck it was, you know what yeah, it was. Oh my god. Do you believe that team that it took a fucking four quarters to beat one the game? Dude, if we were like 17 and one going into that and then we lost to, we'd just been a great Super Bowl. It's true. It's true. It is. It is true. And it's also true that all these fucking stupid quarterbacks now, none of them know how to run the two minute offense because you don't need to know how to run a fucking two minute offense when you get a 20 yard cushion and then not even garden sidelines and you get free 20 yard first down timeouts the whole

fucking way down the field. The fuck am I doing taking the bills? I should have stayed with the radius. What do you think, Bill? We got the 49ers going into Arizona Cardinals. What'd you say? Oh, fuck the Cardinals. They had their Super Bowl last week. You know, they beat the Applebee Rams. The line is eight though. The line's eight. The line is eight. I know the number is just the rivalry games are usually close. What happened the first time they played? I think the Niners won or is this the first meeting? It's November. I bet it's the second schedule. You never know. Sometimes they have a weird

schedule where they fucking November, December. Dude, I was talking on my podcast dude. Thanksgiving is overrated. It's fucking overrated. It's fucking overrated. You know, Paul, I think you're hard. You say some dumb shit like that. No, it is. It is. The more I get older, the more I actually don't like it as much. It's still good, but it's not. I mean, it can't even touch. I mean, it's not even close to any other big ones. Because you want to know why? I'm going to tell you why. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Like what? Hold on. Let me tell you why. There's only one other big one. What are you going to throw? Halloween in there?

No, Easter Sunday is, you know, I mean, but Easter Sunday is, I guess it's not. Easter Sunday. No, no, no, but that's like in the USFL of fucking holidays. Easter Sunday is a joke. That's like, I mean, if I got to them by my power rankings, they're slightly ahead of flag day. Easter Sunday. No, you know what? That long ass fucking mass where they go all through the poms Sunday, everybody walks out. I fucking hate from the ashes to the fucking poms. Well, I hate that whole fucking period. Lent. This is my problem. What are you giving up? Why don't you give up raping boys, you fucking cunts?

Hey, all right, all right. What the fuck is wrong with thanks? You don't have to buy any gifts. No, here's the thing with Thanksgiving. You eat great food. You get to watch your relatives fight with each other if you're above it. Because, but the reason why people will fight on Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving is a holiday where some people that you really sometimes don't love. Dude, if you come to my house on Christmas or Christmas Eve, I have to love you. I have what just happened. No, no, no. If you come to my house on soothing sounds of easy listening, and then you just start screaming. No, Thanksgiving is a thing. You go to my fucking house,

you put Dick Gregory on me. No, no, no. If you're going to be around my children in my house on I love you. You know what I mean? I have to love you to be at my house on Christmas. Love, true love. It's about your immediate family. Thanksgiving, you get somebody there that you fucking never see the whole year, and they could say something fucking dumb, and you're just sitting there with a fake smile. Can't wait till the fucking those people leave where you could be with the people you really want to be with. And that's not my experience on Thanksgiving, Paul, because those people don't get an invite. If you're a cunt, you're not coming to my table. That's on you. You blame on the holiday, but it's on you. I'm not saying you're going to be master your own table.

You got to be master of your own table. Take away football. Take away football on Thanksgiving. It's over. It's fucking days over. Why? If you took the NFL away on Thanksgiving, what do you got? You're sitting around there with. Take away fucking presents on Christmas. What do you got? A bunch of people stand around a fucking tree. Dude, you got the lights. You got the tree. You got the fucking songs, dude. Silent night. Are you out of your fucking mind, dude? Silent night is the fucking shit. First of all, what did I say about silent night? Why are you saying I'm out of my fucking mind? What do you mean? No, no, I'm saying. Silent night, what are you fucking mind? You jumped into that like I just said, silent night sucked. No, you said a tree and everything.

You're completely forgetting the great music. The amazing music is for insane people. No, no, it's for happy people, man. It's a fucking festive time. What are you so upset? It's a festive time. Because you're sitting here trying, you're trying to put, yelling at me about your festivities. No, you're trying to put Thanksgiving on the same fucking level as Christmas. I am not. You just, you said it was overrated. You just said it like Christmas better. We know we wouldn't be yelling at each other. I'm starting to dislike Thanksgiving the older I get. You know what it is, Paul? You have a couple of people that you shouldn't invite and you're

of the balls to uninvite them. Hey, it's my wife's, it's all about food. Hey, it's my wife's fault. Okay. There's certain things I gotta hold in. Okay. Um, no, yeah, it's, it's that you're actually that's, that's right. I got an idea. When that person says what they're gonna say to ruin another Thanksgiving, just have a bell and just be like, there it is. Did you feel it? We were all having a good time. And then you give her like the turnover chain or something like that. The fucking, you put it around her neck. All right. And then she's just a fucking idiot for the rest of this. It's like the jerk off chain or something like that. Dude, I love that. You just see an allowed mouth uncle with a big fucking thing around his neck.

Yeah, it's all like bedazzled. I ruined it. Paul, you gotta do that. You gotta get a bell. You gotta get the chain. It's gotta say I ruined it. I ruined Thanksgiving. Dude, dude, Bill, when me, when me and Bill first, when, when I would confide in Bill about my relationship early, because I was the one of the young, you know, younger comics to have a family, I would call Bill and go, dude, dude, here's the one thing. I don't know if you remember this. I go, here's the one thing I go Christmas Eve. It's not nobody's. I said it early to my wife. I go Christmas Eve. I hold just because of things when I was younger, my parents, when they were divorced, we would go to my grandmother's. It was the greatest night of my

life, Christmas Eve. I don't compromise Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve. Okay, so now you have Christmas Eve. So now what you have to do is what all powerful countries do. You now have to do an overreach. This is like when Germany went into Austria, you have to take Thanksgiving. Okay, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta create some sort of something. You gotta, you gotta have fun. Dude, do you remember you sent me those Cubans? Dude, you gave me a memory. I'm going to tell you something about what you did. You gave me a memory on Thanksgiving, on Christmas Eve once, where I just, just the timing of the day that it was in the mail, whatever happened,

you sent me Cubans, and they literally showed up to the house. And my older brothers there, my younger brothers there, it was Christmas fucking Eve. And we opened this package and it's Cubans and it was from you. And me, my older brother, younger brother went outside and we smoked a Cuban on Christmas Eve. And I'm probably like, at least three, four whiskeys in wine. And I just was like, this is the greatest. And, and, and none of those people would fucking have been at my house on the, on, on, that were there on Thanksgiving. Well, why don't you invite him on Thanksgiving? I mean, I hate because they're family. Have a draft, Paul. Stock your team.

Yeah. And then you just run it down their throats. This is what you do. This, whoever the asshole is, Paul, you get that tendency down. And then what you do is you just say things that irritate them. And then that becomes the game within the game. I have a buddy of mine, his mother-in-law is, is a narcissist and it used to drive him nuts. But now you know what he does and this is for anybody out there. We all deal with narcissists. This is the way you handle it. You know what he does? He overly, he starts overly complimenting one of her friends. And it drives the mother-in-law fucking nuts. I mean, it's, it's one of the, it's like, I have the belly tech move. That is one of the greatest things that I have ever heard. That is psychological

warfare. He does it to her. Oh, it's so great. Say her name's Gail. We'll be like, Gail, I have to tell you something. Your friend Susan has got to be one of the nicest people and he won't shut up. He won't shut up until she like fucking has to walk away. And when she comes back, he keeps bringing it up and it becomes like fucking repellent. Like she won't go near him. Oh, that dude, that's like the most genius thing I've ever heard. Yeah. There you go. I'll tell you right now, Paul, all the fucking winners we've picked this year, that's, that's the fucking gift of the year right there. How to handle a fucking narcissist. Because they're literally mentally ill people that can hold down a fucking job,

wipe their ass and pay their taxes. So we have to interact with them. They can't stick them in a loony bin and you just have to fucking deal with these people. That's fucking great, dude. Yeah. And they don't want to come near you and talk to you because it's something that they don't want to hear. That's fantastic. Right. Now, here's the thing. You know, if you can, you have to cut all the narcissist out of your life. You just have to do it, which I've done at this point. You know, yeah, yeah, which is tough because sometimes it can be a family member. Well, that's yeah, that's that's the other thing too. You know, I don't do that Italian thing is fucking family. If you're an asshole, dude cement shoes right over you're right over the

fucking side. Now, yeah, life's too short to not especially in the holidays. Yeah, Paul. So here's the deal. We found out what the real problem is. It's not Thanksgiving. It's not that Paul you mind who doesn't like to eat. Who doesn't like to sit down? You with your little glass, great juice. There's no way you're wearing that white hoodie. I'll tell you right that on Thanksgiving. No fucking way. Oh, no, I get you. You wear that Christmas Eve. So I look like a fucking snowman out there. You would not do that on Thanksgiving. Um, you're coming there in some autumn colors. You know, this ball can already see it in your face. It's like you're walking into the building. You're anticipating a loss. You're not going there to win. I want you to win this Thanksgiving

dude. I'm not going to lie. Thanksgiving. I'm always in a prevent defense. I'm in a prevent defense, Bill. I just I give too much of a cushion. Dude, I think the turnover chain that says like you turn it over from a good time to a bad time and just says I ruined Thanksgiving is so fucking silly. Everybody's going to laugh. No one's going to give a fuck what the person said. The bell, some sort of those fucking weird something from a joke shop. Oh, that's fucked. Dude, that's so fucking funny. Um, all right, so are we going to take the Niners given given eight? That's a fucking I mean, we could but where's the game? The game is in Arizona. The under over is 43 and a half. I take Arizona. Take the points because

the 49ers will kick the shit out of them and then they'll just fucking go into a prevent. They'll get a fucking here. You're going to make a wish touched out. They haven't played yet this year. You would ask before they haven't played yet. What do we think about the under over 43 and a half? I think this game is going to be boring. Yeah, under under. All right. So now we only have one of the questions. So we're going to take Arizona plus eight. We're going to take under 43 and a half. Uh-huh. Do we do Jimmy G to throw one or do we do you We're not going to bet on an Italian here. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Come here, you.

Come here, you. Great point. My my fault. My fault. Good looking Italian because you're already anticipating a loss on Thanksgiving. Paul, you're not, you're not, you're not thinking clearly here. Listen, you got to get me to December. Get me to December. I go on a win streak. That's such a Sicilian part of you. What? Yeah. That Thanksgiving is dead to you. No, no, it's not dead to me. It's just not my favorite anymore. It's not. Oh, let me tell you something. We get the fucking eggnog going. Right. Me and my wife, we I tape the game. We watched the fucking the Westminster dog show. We did. We had back to back years. We picked the fucking the winner. The one year the bloodhound won. It was just like

it was over. I mean, the fucking gorgeous. Well, here's my question. Who comes to your house on Thanksgiving? Who's how many people are in the group? Hey, Paul, I'm master of my tape. I have nothing but cool ass people come to my table. This is a great thing when you're in your 50s. Like when somebody has nowhere to go on Thanksgiving, it's because they're an asshole. Yeah. Yes. And I don't like that person coming. I don't like that. I don't I don't like the I don't need some grifter who's in town for the fucking weekend coming in and eating my stuff. No, and I got a fucking family member. I got a fucking family member. Oh, we got trouble right here, River City. Yeah, we got somebody because I don't have

no fucking seats for you. Dude, don't get me started because I got a family member that don't have nowhere to go. But you want can they come? There's a reason. No, that's the fucking that's I'm actually stepping on Bartonix homeless joke. You're homeless for a reason. Yeah, you're an asshole. If you don't have a couch to sit, somebody's gonna let you go over the couch. Great joke. This game is in Mexico City. It's not in Arizona. Oh, and also the Niners have the I mean, I think they're top rated. I think their defense is like number one right now. So yeah, but Arizona's gonna come and want to play good in that in that environment to the eight points is good. Do you want to change everything is pointing

towards you take the fucking 49ers? And that's why that's why Vegas wins. No, and you know what, I like Arizona like on a big showcase night like that to kind of fucking division rival, man, I like it. I got to go down there and a couple players are going to do something stupid. They're going to party a little bit. And I think that's going to work in the the fucking Cardinals favor. Dude, back in the day, you could guarantee that now the NFL's run like a dictatorship. Did you want to know what it is? I just figured it out, dude. These people go like this, they go, hey, we just thought it would be nice to have them. They didn't have a Thanksgiving and they want to be the fucking they want the people there.

So they look like I brought them. So you know what they do? They go to work and tell people. Yeah, we didn't know that they didn't have anybody. We brought them there. Fuck you on your candy or a car to keep driving. Yeah, there's always somebody. If yeah, if planes trains and automobiles is a real movie. Steve Martin would have popped a bottle of champagne when he finally got on that train and said, I'm out of this fucking nightmare and left them at the train station. Great movie, though, by the way, John Candy legend. Rest is great movie. All right. So there you go. Jimmy G is going to throw one. Jimmy G is going to throw one.

We're going to go out. Was he going to run one in fall? That counts right? Either way, Jimmy G. No, we got to be specific. We got to be specific. Yeah, he's not going to run one. He doesn't know he's a throw. He's going to throw one. And he's got he's got the weapons to throw it to two. So all right. So Jimmy G to throw one under 43 and a half. And we're going to take the Arizona Cardinals getting a snowman getting eight. Yes. All right. Well, there you go. We got our picks here. You got our picks. There's a guy going down the river in literally what looks like a box. Like there's nothing aerodynamic. It floats. I don't know what though. I'm in Jacksonville,

man. Shit gets gets a little wild out here. All right. That's the Monday night special. That's the anything better. Hey, Bill, what are you doing for breakfast today? Are you going eggs Benny or are you going omelet? What's going on over there? I'm going to the gym and then after the gym, I'll probably get like an apple or an orange. Hey, Bill, you're going to have a gator omelet. I'm telling you, man, with the eggs. It tastes just like chicken. No, it doesn't. It tastes like a fucking reptile. Yes, it does. All right, guys. Well, listen, I just want to tell you. I'm going to take this phone call. Have a good Friday. All right, everybody. Well, there you go. That was mine and Bill's picks for NFL week number 11. I can't believe how this season is,

dude. I can't believe that this season is going as fast as it's going. But we want to let everybody know that we're having such a great time with Bet MGM and we want you to get involved and we want to make you some money. We know that this Monday night special year we've been close. We're going to try to get one for you, at least one. But make sure, man, the way to use the Bet MGM app, it's very simple. All you got to do is go to the App Store and download and get the Bet MGM app. All you have to do is put in bonus code BRR. That's B-U-R-R. It's very, very simple. You could put as little as $10 in the account and you get up to $1,000 in free bets, even if the bet loses. Just make sure you put in bonus code BRR. That's B-U-R-R. You can go on the app and when you click on the

NFL, you will see the Monday night special, anything better on the site. Click on that and ride with us with whatever Monday night special. You put a little money on there and hopefully we make you some money with that. Also, this is the other thing too, Andrew, that people could do if they were like, hey, I love their pick with the points on the Monday night special. But I don't know if I love the under over. You could actually, I mean, even though it wouldn't be part of our thing, you could go, hey, I like Bill and Paul's, because that's what somebody said about the commanders last week. Bill's your own bet, yeah. But yeah, that's what somebody said about the, somebody said about the, actually, I'm glad we're talking about this because people,

we never talked about this before, people reached out to us and go, hey, thank you guys for picking the commanders against the Eagles. I went with that and they won money. So they didn't necessarily have to do the under over and the other thing for our thing, but they could go, hey, I went with that and we did make some people some money with the commanders. So if there's something, listen, there's sometimes I like a part of our Monday night special, but I'm a hesitant on the other. So you can do it that way as well. Dude, yesterday, this is a little inside baseball we'll give to the, just a couple of minutes over time, I gotta, hey, I gotta get out of here, my wife's home. I talked to Andrew yesterday, you remember, and I go, hey, dude,

I go, because this is coming out just a little bit late, 12 hours late. We weren't able to, we weren't able to record. We weren't able to record yesterday with like traveling stuff. So this is coming out basically 12 hours later or whatever, than it normally would. But I said to Andrew, I go, dude, I go, the Packers are coming off a wind, they're home. I know I'm staying away from them. The line is three. I go, I don't know if I would have picked them, should I? And then I actually talked myself out of it with you. I go, you know something though? I go, they still got to prove it. Like I can't, you know, it is the Titans. The Titans are a good team. And then I'm driving to the city last night, and I'm listening on the radio,

and they're like, Packers down 10 late in the fourth, and I'm going, whew. So I, and dude, I heard the Packers need to either run the table to have a chance. So I think it's pretty much over for the, I think it's over for Green Bay. Well, I mean, you mean for the year, of course? Yeah. I mean, there's no, there's no, there's no momentum. There's no momentum. Nobody's, yeah. No, the only, the only window the Packers would have is to run the table from now until week 18. And I don't think that they, they just clearly don't have the power to do that. Yeah. So games that you guys didn't cover. Bill almost took the Raiders. I mean, that's, that, that team is in shambles. I mean, they, they like, they, they, that team was pronounced

dead last week. Dude, I'm going to, it's funny you said, and the Broncos also I've maintained since like week four, I mean, three anyways, I mean, I, they, this Bill, I think maybe saw a little bit of Russell Wilson's past and present thinking like, Oh, but he's not, he's, he's, he's terrible with this team. I mean, he's terrible with this team. And it's not all his fault, but he gets at least a third. No, it is a little bit of his fault, because when you're not giving your own teammates your phone number, when you're, when your teammates are asking for your phone number and you're going talk to my people, and that's the guy that you got to be protecting. And that's the guy that's your fucking, I said, I said, I'm good morning football. I said, he's the new Ellen,

you know, uh, and, and that's, you can't have that, but I agree with you. I think that, well, look, I'm four and a half games back, right? I'm four and a half games back of this thing. And take away my Packers picks and my Raiders picks, and I'm probably somewhere right there. But I believed that I believe that Aaron Rogers, Aaron fucking Rogers, who still can throw it the way he could throw it, I believe that they were going to do something. I was wrong about that. Um, one of the use when you say do something, you just mean when a few of these games, or do you mean like be a playoff contender? Yeah, no, I mean, like these games that I pick against the spread, you know, I mean, dude, there was a game where I picked the Packers and I think they were dogs.

Like they like the Packers were dogs against a team they couldn't and should be a year ago, and they just can't now. Um, it just goes to show, dude, like you need you, you know, and listen, man, it's never good, dude, it's never good. This is one thing that, that I think people need to, you know, and I think people know it, but need to pay attention to. When your quarterback is in the news a lot for things other than football, okay, I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's a domestic dispute. I don't care if it's a political view. I don't care if it's whatever it is. But when you're caught, especially when your quarterback is publicly criticizing the organization he plays for, when you start seeing those things, when you start

seeing a guy that's been a staple go, yeah, well, you know, I mean, listen, if we could get a good offensive game plan and all that comes down to is that like literally, it all just comes down to are you executing plays? And that's why Belichick is the way he is, because everything is within, he draws a circle around himself and his team, right? And it's just like everything on the other side of that line, everything else has nothing to do with what he's talking about. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about anything else. He's hyper focused and he's hyper vigilant at the task at hand. That's all of, that is a reduction of every quirk that Belichick has. It's just that's what it is. Now, have there been times where maybe that's either backfired or maybe that like line of thinking

is what led him to wanting to trade Brady and keep Jimmy G, like, I don't know, like, you know, that that's gossip stuff. But yeah, so as far as that goes, yeah, you can't have a quarterback in the news because you because I agree with that outside the lines, you can't go outside. I agree with that. I like that analogy, too, of like inside the circle and then outside of it doesn't make sense. Like, yeah, think about think about this, do Russell Wilson, who like is not on great terms with the team, while they're sleeping on the airplane going to London, he's exercising up and down the aisles doing high knees up and down the aisles trying to like and dude, that like those guys are going like what the fuck is this guy like when you start hearing shit like that, you know what

Russell Wilson needs to be doing on an airplane going to London, he needs to be playing fucking cards with his offensive line, laughing and being like, Hey, dude, when we get to London, do dinner on me and let's fucking be a family and let's go fucking show the NFL that we're here. That's what a guy needs to do. And when you do things like that, you're like, Oh, I'll die for that dude. You know, I'll fucking die for that. You know, to put it this way, if I'm going to say this, dude, if Paul Verzi was an NFL quarterback, those I would have those guys do those guys, I would be buying fuck, dude, my offense, my center would just show up to his mansion, and they would just be a Rolls Royce there, and there'd be a fucking sticker on a window

from me that said, dang, I mean, like, it's like, you say that, and then you start thinking, like, am I going to buy this guy a Rolls Royce? I mean, like, you could roll his ankle next week, and then I got to buy the new one. Yeah, probably not a Rolls Royce, but I know, I'm just saying, yeah, probably, yeah, no, I would go maybe like, not Rolls Royce. No, no, maybe like the new electric BMW, something, you know, something like nice little toy from up, you know, a to B, you get them an a to B car. Yeah, you know, I'm going to, but here's what I'm interested in. If I can fight back in this, and fight back and crawl to 500 in the next couple of weeks, hopefully knock on wood,

and still have had those packer losses, I'll be all right, I'm happy that bill is above 500 by half a game. And I have some work to do to crawl back, but I look at it like this, I was eight games back two weeks ago, I was eight games back, and right now I'm four and a half. Now, I don't know, I could have a bad week, maybe not, we'll see. But I hope everybody's enjoying these. And I mean, I think the Philly Colts, I think that's probably the craziest one. Yeah, my Philly's Colts is crazy, especially Philly coming off of a there's nothing about the Colts, there's nothing about the Colts that are going to overwhelm the Eagles. Well, there's one thing. There's one thing. It's not even seven and a half, it's six and a

half. There's there's one thing about the Colts that I like. And it's that they're running back, Jonathan Taylor is really starting to come back and get a groove. And I also saw how the Washington commanders just ran against the Eagles, and they ran down there. You gotta lose once. You gotta lose once. I mean, you know, the Patriots had probably one of their best years. I think it was 2000. And it was the second Super Bowl. And we we, I think we lost to like, I'm blanking, I believe it was like week two or three, the Texans. And I remember people going like, Oh, man, you know, and it's just like, and then you look at that whole year. And it's like, we never should have lost to that team. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, never should have lost to

that team. Maybe it was Titans, maybe not even around. And I can tell you that I can tell you this, my Colts pick is either going to be really bad or really good. I think they're really going to get blown out or it's going to be like, fuck, that was a good one. But listen, man, I got to shake it up. I got to get back. So there you guys that this has been the preview for week 11. I'm kind of sad that we're six weeks away from the NFL almost being seven weeks away from the NFL being over, which is like, I feel like it just started. And hey, my Giants are seven and two. Andrew, that's fun. That's fun. You got something you got, you got a end of the season. You know, do you now here's my last question for you before we get out of here.

Do you think that the Patriots beat the Jets minus three and a half in in New England or no? I actually think we win this game outright money line. I don't know about I do by three and a half is tough. We went by two or three. Yeah, I mean, I wish I don't that's not even I don't know. I don't know. We could win by two, we could win by 10. I don't know. I just think we went I think we last second field goal last second field goal by one could see that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but that's like I don't was that's I would never on this game. I would never take that would never go against that three and a half. I would just take money line. If I was, you know, I was taking that game this week. Yeah. Yeah, I think they won. Yeah, no, I I think the Patriots win the game. I just

didn't like that have a point. They're the same team. They're we they're both week to week teams. I mean, it's like the five and four Jets are six and three. I mean, it's not like, you know, Pats could have won one of those games in there and easily been six and three. So yeah, I think the Jets because they suck so much and it seems like they've been playing, you know, fairly well considering what they have, you know, and they've won some big games, it seems like they're better than they are because they've sucked. The Patriots feel like they're doing worse because they're usually like at least contenders. Anyways, that's my tip. Actually, that's actually a really good point. It's like the Jets are playing good. They're

playing good defense. They're winning some games. But for the Jets, it looks even better because they're they're kind of almost you feel like it's a rebuild with the new coach and all that stuff. And then with the Patriots, you've just been such a staple in the NFL for the last 20 years that when they're when there's even a little bit of a dip and no Brady, you're like, oh, shit. So somebody said something recently, it was LaShawn McCoy, Shady McCoy. And he said that he thinks Bill Belichick is and without Brady, he's an under 500 coach. And like he goes, he's a listen, he goes, he's a good coach. But he goes with Brady, he's what he was because I don't think he's that good. I don't necessarily agree with that. That's bullshit. Anytime I hear that

stat, that's bullshit. When you say that somebody won if they had one quarterback for 20 years of their career, and then you take the average of quarter of the average that any coach has in his career of a good quote, having like, like a star quarterback, it might be one out of five. So now Belichick needs to coach two or three more quarterbacks, right? You know, considering he had blood soap roll bit and then Brady, and then now we'll just, you know, I guess this is what we're at now, and we haven't really had too many in between. I'm not going to count what's his face. But yeah, so I think it's like, yeah, well, if he has six more quarterbacks, and he can't make happen in 20 years, then maybe you could say, yeah, he's only 500. But right now with a 20 year

quarterback, he's like, well, he's under 500 without Brady. It's because he's been with Brady the whole time. What kind of stupid stat is that? I love that. I love that you're 100% right. And that's like saying, oh, what would Bill Walsh do? Rest his soul if he wasn't with Joe Montana for all those years. Yeah, it's like, it's not fair to say that a guy figured out a system with a guy and they worked together great. And then all of a sudden one of those pieces leaves, they go, well, he's not that good. It's like, it's it is kind of bullshit. It's kind of some hate and shit. All right, everybody. All right, we are done. This has been week 11 preview. Me and the Greek freak give you a little overtime, give you a little inside baseball and the thought

process on where we are right now. We think it's kind of cool. Some of the fans mentioned that they liked it. So you know what, we'll fuck around, not going to do this every time. But you know, we'll talk a little shit. I hope everybody enjoys this is the Oh, this is the last week before the Thanksgiving games. My Giants are playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving in Dallas. Oh, that gives me the willies even thinking about I'll get into that next week. Enjoy. Enjoy your week.
