It doesn't fucking matter in the overall picture who gives a fuck about this, that and the other thing when we might not even be able to live on the planet if we keep going the way we're going.
Right? Happy Thursday everybody.
How's it going? Oh my God.
Oh freckles.
You know.
Oh pasty thighs just fucking came up for air.
My God, I went on when you when we last checked in with Bill.
I from fucking, I don't know, Friday or Saturday of last week until last night at like 9 30.
I did nothing but work on fucking writing this script and getting it ready for people to look at.
And I got to tell you something, the fact.
That actors get all these fucking awards and attention and then you don't know who the writers are, I swear is one of the most ridiculous things.
We were cranking this thing. We finally get the thing done.
My writing part is going like, ah, man, you know, I can't wait to do like the Sandler thing and do one of these every couple of years.
I'm like, dude, I don't think I ever want to do one of these again.
My brain was fried, but now I'm psyched because now I'm on the other side of it.
And I think it's a really good script.
And who knows, you know, you write these things, you bring them out, you hope someone's going to fucking buy it.
And if they don't, you're like, well, you know, I guess I'll try in a different way.
You know, and that's what life is.
You get up there, you take a swing of the bat.
You see if you can make some contact, put it in play, maybe every once in a while you hit a fucking home run.
You know, but most of the times you strike out.
You go back to the dugout, you don't get to ride in the laundry cart, right?
That's what it is.
All right, but try telling that to these brats.
Oh my God, if I have one more woman, tell me how fucking easy my life is.
You know, I started dropping weight, you know, I was down the comedy club and I mentioned that to someone.
She's goes, well, you know, you know, you're a guy.
I mean, you guys just like think of losing weight, you drop weight.
Oh yeah, that's exactly how it is.
That's exactly how it is.
That's why you never see a fucking fat guy on my 600 pound life.
That's like a thing like with women, they go, you, you just think about losing weight and you lose weight.
And it's like, no, that's not how it works.
I've been trying to drop this weight for a whole fucking year.
I've been thinking about it for a whole fucking year.
Thinking about it and make it happen.
Right.
So I don't know what the hell they did.
It's just like, it's just one of those things you just have to sit there and listen to.
I told you that I set the doctors, right?
And she was, I had one of those fucking old man spots developing on my head and like, I can't, I can't have this.
So she's lasering the thing off and I just say, you know, she goes, want me to numb you up?
And I said, you know, how bad is it hurt?
She goes, you know, it's like somebody's snapping an elastic on your head.
I was like, I will see how it goes.
Right.
She's still in it.
It wasn't even that bad.
And she said to me, she goes, you know, I gotta admit, she goes, you have like a, you have like a high level of threshold for pain.
You know, you're like a woman.
She fucking said that to me.
I was just like, Jesus Christ.
I was trying to think, I know I told this story before, but I know you guys don't listen every week.
I was just trying to think like the opposite of that.
Like if I said, if I was the doctor and I had a woman in the chair and I said something like that, like, why?
You're like really smart.
You know, you're like a man.
You have a high threshold of pain.
Like a man.
Like if I said something like that, practice over.
Done.
Beyond that fucking e-show.
Something would happen.
So anyway, um, yeah, I've been dropping weight, just trying to go two pounds a week, been eating great.
And kind of I'm off like sugar and salt now.
And, um, last night, you know, we took a break because our brain was so fried.
And I put on the world series, which, uh, I'm getting such a kick out of it that I guess.
People in sports were saying that Atlanta Braves versus the Houston Astros was a nightmare for major league baseball as far as ratings goes.
And what are they going to do?
They're going to turn around and blame the cities and blame the teams rather than blame themselves.
That because of pile on teams and money, certain teams were able to be, you know, considered more interesting than other cities.
Because I know when I watch the Super Bowl, it doesn't matter who the fuck's playing.
I know the Arizona Cardinals, formerly the St. Louis Cardinals, formerly the Chicago Cardinals have sucked dick my entire fucking life,
except for one year when they had Kurt Warner and they played one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time.
Unfortunately, losing, I believe to the, was it the Packers or was it the Steelers?
I can't remember.
But it was an amazing Super Bowl, right?
They've absolutely sucked.
And now all of a sudden they're great.
They got Kyler Murray.
They got Chandler Jones.
They got JJ Watts.
I love them.
I can watch them all day.
They're exciting.
I don't care that they're in Arizona.
You know, stop blaming the cities.
You're not running your fucking league, right?
Sorry, I'm not like 100% flipping out about this.
It's just 6.30 in the fucking morning.
Trying to knock this out before I get the kids ready for their days here.
Yeah.
What kind of fucking world are you trashing Atlanta?
Atlanta has some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life.
You know, it's got great food.
Other than the traffic, it's fucking amazing.
Houston, you know, it's an American city.
You shouldn't be trashing it.
I'm kidding.
Okay, Houston has Joel Olstein.
Houston won back-to-back fattest cities in America,
which is a dynasty, because it's so hard.
It's really hard to do that.
I think it's like political, right?
Let me just see.
When was their dynasty?
I want to say it was in the 2000s.
Because, see, the Cowboys had a dynasty in the 90s, as did the Yankees,
and then Houston had a dynasty with fat people.
Let's see here.
Fattest city in America year by year.
All right.
Let's see what we got here.
Okay, fattest cities in America.
2021 fattest city in America.
Fattest cities, they won't go year by year.
Well, let's see who's got it this year.
Let's see who's taking the title.
Okay, according to this thing, McCallan, Texas.
I never even heard of that place.
Memphis, Tennessee, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
I did some acting work there, man.
It's hard to buy anything that isn't fried.
That's a tough city to be in.
Little Rock, Arkansas.
These are all the non-vaccine cities.
Jesus Christ, people.
I hope you're wearing masks.
Shreveport, Louisiana, Birmingham, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi,
Mobile, Alabama, Louisiana, Louisiana coming in strong.
Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Knoxville, Tennessee,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Augusta, Georgia,
Greenville, South Carolina, Fayetteville, Arkansas,
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Oh, you hate to see it, but your fatties walking around in bathing suits.
San Antonio, Texas, Wichita, Kansas, New Orleans, Louisiana,
Nashville, Tennessee.
So you got to say Louisiana's the fattest fucking state out there.
Tennessee, all their big cities.
Memphis, Chattanooga, Nashville.
McCallan also has the highest share of physically inactive adults,
36.90%.
Well, how about a hat's off that they were active enough to take that survey?
Which is 2.2 times higher than Provo, Orem, Utah,
the metro area with the lowest at 16.5,
16.5% of the people are active.
El Paso, Texas has the highest share of diabetic adults.
Oh, God, you don't want that.
Which is 2.3 times higher than in Denver.
The metro area with the lowest.
Oh, yeah, they're out there fucking white water raft in there.
So anyway, I got to watch a little bit of the Atlanta Houston game.
And Atlanta won the first game, 6-2.
Houston assholes won 7-2.
And I'm calling them the Astros because there's a Patriots fan
to watch them do what they did.
And I haven't even heard it brought up yet.
This isn't them trying to redeem the fact that they got busted
with their pants down, cheating their fucking asses off,
banging on that trash can.
Nothing. I was watching the game last night, right?
And El Tuve hits a fucking home run.
The announcer goes, you know, that's his 22nd home run.
His 22nd home run in postseason play.
And he's like, you know, 14 of those that were at home.
Oh, yeah, where they had the fucking trash can
and they knew a change-up was coming.
Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing.
And I got as a Pats fan to still listen to people talk to me
about the Flake Gate, which went to court.
It wasn't even laughed at at court.
The guy got fucking upset about it, saying,
stop wasting my time.
Fucking unbelievable.
We have a drug addict with a dead mistress,
hires a scientist who isn't one to come up with some
Boss Hog Dukes of hazard shit, and it sticks.
It fucking sticks.
These motherfuckers go to home depot by some trash cans.
They get fucking busted doing it.
Was it fucking two years later?
Three fucking four years later, they say, ah, it's amazing.
This guy's been unbelievably successful.
I told you, I saw the same thing with fucking A-Rod
when he played with the Yankees.
Guy gets busted doing steroids, you know, and everybody's,
ah, fuck this guy.
Guy's terrible at baseball, blah, blah, blah, blah.
All this fucking shit.
Then the guy hits his 600 home run.
Same fucking newspapers.
Where do we put him historically?
The greatest shortstop third baseman of all fucking time
a couple of years later.
I don't know, unreal, but I can tell you this.
It's a fucking great series.
It's predicting that's going to go six to seven games.
And I've always said this thing because I look at Houston
like, okay, they cheated.
But then again, my Red Sox and the New York Yankees
had $200 million roided up free agent teams.
Okay.
And we want a bunch of them doing that.
So I'm not going to fucking sit there and say that.
However, you know, I'm not going to act like
we're all fucking innocent here, but I mean,
I'm just beside myself that you can come back
and then that is not the story.
Hey, can the Houston Astros win a legit one
without going down to the hardware store?
Can they do that?
And the fact if they win this thing, you know,
will people be like, well, how did they win it?
Do we need to investigate them again?
Make sure they didn't have a camera out in the outfield wall.
No, doesn't count.
Doesn't fucking count.
It's a cheat meal for all Houston.
So anyway, so I'm watching this series, right?
And I remember earlier this year, I was talking about
Dusty Baker and saying what a great manager you was.
And then everybody called in, oh, yeah,
if you want to fucking get you to the playoffs
and not fucking win all these fucking losers
who never did shit with their lives start coming at me.
And I'm like, um, so you're telling me this guy
has been managing baseball teams for the better part
of fucking 40 years and somehow major league baseball
is getting it wrong.
But you, who never got picked in gym class,
know the real deal on Dusty Baker.
So there's part of me that I want Houston to win.
Also for their fans so they could say,
well, we did get a legit one, you know,
but then there's the Braves, you know,
you look at the Braves, the Braves have been
to the winter classic.
Okay, they've been there five fucking times.
They've only won once.
They have an 11 and 18 record.
They actually lost in 95.
No, they won in 95.
Then they lost in 96.
They lost in 99.
That's 95, 96, 99.
Cause the Indians lost in 97.
Padres lost in 98.
Metz lost in 2000.
Yankees lost in 2001.
Wait, who the fuck did the angels beat?
I can't remember.
Ah, Jesus Christ, that's a long fucking time ago.
Anyway, so you know, their fans are fucking tortured
and who knew the fucking Astros have been there three times.
They lost an 05 to the fucking Chicago White Sox,
which I thought really took the shine off the Red Sox,
finally ending their curse at the very next year,
you know, the White Sox, and the White Sox won it.
So I guess this is what's happening now.
They sort of stole our thunder.
You know what I mean?
That's like I remember with the last episode of,
you know, Seinfeld was coming out
and then the same week Frank Sinatra died.
That's just one of those things like, oh man,
why couldn't Frank die the week before the week after?
I mean, those are two huge things, you know,
they both deserve their attention.
Houston also played a seven-game series in 2019,
losing the decisive game seven to the Washington Nationals,
formerly the Montreal Expos.
Anyway, so I'm going to watch that series if you want to jump in.
Okay, game three, Friday, game four, Saturday, game five, Sunday.
You have a nice fucking baseball weekend.
You know, and maybe send a message out there
to the major league baseball that, you know,
you don't need these Ocean 11's teams
like they have in fucking NBA's the same way.
David Stern, right?
That slippery little so-and-so.
When they asked him who his dream NBA final was,
he said the Lakers versus the Lakers
because he didn't give a fuck about the league.
He gave a fuck about money and ratings.
That's all he gave a fuck about.
But I'm sure it was all in the up and up
when the fucking commissioner of your league
not only would pick two teams
that he thought would be the best,
he picks the same one twice.
Probably not a good look,
especially when you get busted having a mobbed up referee,
helping said team get to the fucking NBA finals
and win another one.
Oh, I am on a fucking tear here.
Speaking of the Arizona Cardinals, everybody,
they are playing the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
Cardinals have not lost yet this year.
So, of course, I'm rooting for them to go undefeated
because I, you know, my team's in the AFC East
and I'm so sick of the stupid dolphins every year
clinking their glasses celebrating kids losing
and not getting to feel the feeling that they did,
which I really just think is just, I don't know,
there's just something about it that's just annoying.
And not the fact that nowadays these kids got to do it,
you know, 16, 17 times.
That's just to get out of the regular season.
Dolphins had to go 17-0 to win the whole fucking thing.
So, I don't know.
I don't know.
But sportsmanship, if you ask me, it's kanthi is what it is.
It's very chick energy, estrogen, you know what I mean?
Cheering on the misery of somebody else.
Or German, for what I am.
Scheidenfreude.
But I think this is the Green Bay Packers season.
Their season turns around or they're just going to fucking
level off if they lose, okay?
Because the Arizona Cardinals, who would have thought
are the big boys in the NFC conference, right?
Well, the C does stand for conference, Phil.
In the NFC.
In the A-A-F-C conference.
Yeah, you say A-F-C East.
All the entire NFC, that's what the fuck I'm trying to say.
So, if the Green Bay Packers beat the Cardinals,
they'd be like, you know what, man?
Hey, man, like, I know we're in fucking Wisconsin, man.
And everybody's up here eating cheese,
but just know that, man, we can hang with anybody in this league,
man.
Or they lose.
Or they lose.
And then once again, it's on Aaron Rodgers
to take that mom-and-pop store that is the Green Bay Packers,
put it on his shoulders,
and take it to the fucking promised land.
Anyway, I'm supposed to be doing these fucking reads here.
Oh, here it is, everybody.
Indochino.
Share a story of the time you felt confident
with the look you put together.
I haven't felt confident in the way I looked in over a year,
but I'm losing this fucking weight, and I'll tell you right now,
when I do, I'm going down there,
and I'm going to buy one of those Indochino suits,
and I'm going to start wearing a fucking suit on stage,
just for the fuck of it,
because you can get a suit for $3.99 from Indochino.
I'll describe the occasion, the outfit, and how you felt.
Let's see, the last time I wore a suit,
I think on my anniversary,
I couldn't fit in any of my suits,
because I got all my suits tailored
when I was at my fighting weight.
As Dave Kekner says when he's Bob Pogo,
my fighting weight on F is for Family,
final season coming out.
I don't know when.
They haven't told me yet.
The right outfit can bring out something special in us,
and with Indochino, creating your best look yet
could be more affordable than you think.
You know what's fucking awesome about them?
I went by the other day on Melrose Avenue,
they have their own store,
and I looked at the patterns in the fabrics,
and they have those updated fucking suits
that I saw in the 70s,
with some sort of crazier patterns.
Get a three-piece suit like that,
a nice muted colored shirt right underneath it,
coming in, right?
Dick hanging to the left,
coming in talking to the ladies.
You think you're a fucking weatherman?
There's weatherman groupies out there, everybody.
I'm just making all that up, except for the store.
Indochino offers completely custom-fitted suits,
shirts, casual wear,
and more at surprisingly affordable prices.
Every piece is made to your exact measurement,
and you can customize every detail.
Choose everything about your suit from the fabric,
lapel, monogram, and statement linings.
You can create a suit that fits you and your style perfectly.
The best part?
The best part of waking up is putting on this suit.
Indochino's suit started just $3.99,
with all customizations included.
I always picture what's his face.
Conor McGregor, when he would have his fucking suits
that fit him perfectly.
You can do it for only $3.99,
and you don't have to learn how to choke somebody out.
Indochino is the poor man's Conor McGregor suit.

By the way, speaking of which,
I'm going to be, I have a weekend coming up
when I'm in two of my favorite cities,
Detroit, Michigan,
and I am in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
All right?
I mean, I can't even tell you how fucking excited
when I go to those fucking cities,
the places to eat, the people.
I just love those places.
And it's very exciting to see Detroit
slowly but surely coming back.
You know, to have all of those cities go through
what the fuck they went through,
you know, the whole Rust Belt was just a fucking shame.
And that's something I always wondered,
you know, what it would have been like to have caught
those cities before the Rust Belt
when they were these great cities, thriving cities,
and people could get jobs
and those factories and all of that shit ran.
And I know they all polluted the environment and stuff,
but, you know, they're still polluting the environment.
They're just in a different country now, those factories.
But that always fascinates me
when we used to make shit here.
You know, you could be in high school
and not even have to go to college
and you could go down the street
and get a job at one of these giant factories
that were so fucking big,
you could work there for 40 or 50 years
and never even see an employee
that also worked there for 50 years at the same time
until you both got your gold watches, you know,
and you made cars or whatever the hell you did.
And, you know, you could have yourself a house,
you could have a stay-at-home wife, raise your kids.
You know, if you take all the racism out of it,
I mean, that's a hell of an America.
Hang on a sec.
Anyway, so it's great seeing them come back.
Pittsburgh, I swear to God.
I'll name you right now.
Now that I've talked about the fattest cities in America,
cities I could live in.
I could live in Pittsburgh.
I could live in Milwaukee.
Chattanooga, Tennessee, I loved.
Chattanooga, the charm of Nashville
without all the people.
Milwaukee, the charm of Chicago
without all the people.
Pittsburgh, San Francisco,
without all those fucking,
those guys, not Borschbell,
what do you call those fucking computer nerds
who ruined that city?
Pittsburgh is San Francisco
without all those silicone valley fucking cunts
driving all the prices up.
Those are my top three.
Top three right there.
And then when I really, really, really
am down on human beings
and just being around other human beings,
I could live in that deadwood, South Dakota.
I could live out,
I'm saying in South Dakota, North Dakota,
I always forget.
Or I could live in,
I went to this place one time.
I did a gig in Montana.
What the fuck?
Was it Butte, Montana?
Montana cities.
Let's see, what do we got here?
Wasn't Helena,
I think it might have been Bozeman.
Or was it Billings?
One of those ones.
Just go up there and be one of those weird white people
that doesn't talk to his neighbors.
Every once in a while,
I feel like I could be that guy.
But then I think,
I'd miss all my stand up friends.
There's a great burrito around the corner.
You get scared.
I mean, that's a commitment.
I mean, anybody can be born in the middle of nowhere
and fucking stay out there.
Or be born in a city and stay in a city,
but it takes a fucking lot
to be in a city
and then go move to the middle of nowhere.
Or the other way around,
come to the big city,
everybody's talking about.
Which by the way,
I finally saw that movie, Urban Cowboy.
And I had no idea how fucking dark
and creepy and all that shit.
The first time I tried to watch it,
I couldn't get through it.
But I was also really scatterbrained.
All right, everybody.
Before we end the podcast,
we have a wonderful new addition
to the Thursday afternoon
just before Friday, Monday,
morning podcast.
It's the Bed M.G. segment
where me and the great Paul Verzi,
the star of I'll Say This on Comedy Central,
one of the great stand up specials
of the last few years.
We pick, we're battling each other,
going head to head to see who has the,
who can pick all these NFL games

Today, here's the thing.
Bill, Bill and I,
Bill and I both went three and one
and we almost...
You know, I was hoping I was going to go four and oh.
I was three and oh.
I know.
Three and oh.
And I was like, if Verzi goes three and one
and loses the game,
I'm going to have his heart.
That would have been demoralizing.
Dude, we both went three and one
and we almost made these people win money
with our Monday night special.
I got excited about it.
Actually, it made me into the game.
We had Winston through a touchdown.
Not only did Winston throw a touchdown,
he threw it to Camara,
which knocked out two of our three bets
in one play and I'm going,
here we go.
They missed the cover and they missed it by three points,
but yeah, nothing is worse.
So let's not brag about almost making a money, Paul.
Let's brag about it when it happens.
I know.
I was rooting for them, though.
I was rooting for them, man.
Is anything worse than being three and oh
and losing the last one?
That happened to me, too.
Yeah, winning a fucking bet
and the asshole's going to the pre-vents
so you lose your bet.
So you were actually fucking right,
but they decided to not play football
for the last two minutes.
Oh, don't get me started, Paul.
I'll choke this fucking microphone.
That's the worst.
So I hit up Andrew and I go,
Andrew, I'm three and one.
What's Bill?
And he said, you were doing the same thing.
So we keep asking him and then he goes,
Bill's three and one.
So then I hit up Bill and I go,
we both went three and one and Bill goes,
oh, the game's not over.
And I go, what game?
And he goes, the game that's going on now.
And I go, no, the game's still on.
And he goes, why'd you say I lost already?
And I go, oh, he jinxed me, Paul.
That's what you do.
You compliment the fucking bookie.
You give him a shout out.
Paul, I mean, we're still friends, right?
Good week of football, Bill.
And you know what?
Paul, you're still in the lead.
You got to have like what, two, three games on me.
I did horrible in September.
I think I got one game and then you got that tie,
that tie.
So I don't know.
You're only a game up.
I think you're at least two games.
You got to be at least two.
You had a lot of three and ones when I went one and three.
And the last month.
And even the week you went, oh, and four, I only went,
I only went two and two.
So I picked up two games.
Well, maybe that picked up two games is big.
No, to get, I went at the last four weeks,
I went three and one three times,
but that oh, and four takes me.
I'm 14 and 14.
I know that.
I don't know what you are.
I think it's a game difference.
I think I'm definitely below 500.
I'm on the hot seat, Paul.
I got my house up for sale if I'm coaching the fucking Mets
right now.
It is week eight, which is an even number.
It means it is your turn to pick.
You go.
I don't know why I'm going to pick this game.
I don't know why this game is the way this game is.
I feel like this is one of these games.
You go like, why the fuck this looks like easy money,
even though Russell Wilson is not playing.
They're giving three and a half to the hapless Jacksonville
Jaguar.
So I think one there's Super Bowl by winning last week.
They're in Seattle.
They got the 12th man.
The lumberjacks are coming out of the hills.
They're going to be deafening.
I'm taking the Seattle Seahawks.
Lay in three and a half to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars
and with their Kendall quarterback there.
Wow.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I'm going to pick a game that I don't know.
What the fuck was that?
What?
You just made it sound like that was a stupid move ever.
You want me to give you advice?
I mean, we're not giving each other advice.
I don't like that pick.
I'll be honest with you.
I'm not going to tell you that.
You're my friend.
I don't like the pick because I think Geno Smith stinks
and I think Seattle stinks.
And Sneaky Pete's finito.
I think Sneaky Pete's leaving soon.
That's my little fucking side.
Well, then take the Jaguars.
You can sit there and judge my fucking picks in front
of everybody, you son of a bitch.
You brought that out of me.
I tried to mind my...
No, I did not bring that out of you.
You just went like, hi.
You fucking competitive son of a bitch.
No, I'm...
I swear to God, you're trying.
You're trying.
Paul, you're trying to put the hex on all my picks.
No, no, man.
You got me all wrong.
Do I give you shit when you fucking pick a team laying 25?
You got me all wrong.
I can't even make eye contact with me.
Look at you.
No, Devonte Adams is out.
You fucking red bastard.
Devonte Adams is out.
What were you picking, Paul?
I don't know, man.
I think I'm going to go...
I think I'm going to pick the Packers to give the Cardinals
their first loss Thursday night.
But Devonte Adams is out, but Aaron Rodgers,
there's something about him that when he's a dog
and he's a road dog, I like him.
You know what I'm going to take,
but we got to make sure these bed MGM lines aren't moving.
You got it at six and a half.
I'm going to take it at six and a half.
I'm taking the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers,
giving Kyler Murray and those unbelievably undefeated Cardinals
their first L.
I'm going with Rodgers.
I'm taking the Packers Thursday night.
You really going to do that?
Yeah.
All right.
I got my next pick is...
I am going to take Joe Burrow.
He's been making me money.
He's going into the fucking, the metal lands,
which I don't even know.
Paul, is that even a professional football arena anymore?
The way the Jets and Giants have been playing lately.
The Giants held it up for years.
Now I don't know what happened.
They caught COVID from the Jets.
I'm going to take the Bengals, Paul, laying 10 and a half.
This is a different year for you, man.
You're taking more points this year.
I love it.
I'm rubbing off.
You don't, Paul.
You shit on all of my bets.
I can feel it.
No.
I just, you know what, should we go?
Here's the thing.
Bill's beat me.
They just fucking stink.
They just let the Patriots put like 50 fucking points on them.
Bill's beat me in the head to heads, Andrew,
which means if we tie, he wins.
So if we tie, you win.
Oh, by the way, I beat you in another head to head.
That's three and oh.
Can I talk shit about that yet?
Three times, Paul, you go up against me and you lose
and here you are judging my bets in front of our wonderful audience.
Paul, I'm telling you, dude, your arrogance just knows no limits.
Dude, I got, I got a feeling I'm going to go on for this week.
I'm not lying to you.
Like I can't see them.
It's like when you're playing pool sometimes I can't see the angles, Paul.
I hate this week too.
I can't see it either, dude.
I really can't.
Um, you know, the bucks have been crushing.
Why is the bucks lying so low against the saints?
That one's fucking with me.
Why are the bucks only favored by five and a half?
Cause it's a divisional rivalry, Paul.
I was looking at that game.
And the saints are at home and they're getting five and a half.
I personally, I need to take the saints or I stay away from that game.
Oh, I'm going to do it, Bill.
I'm going to do it.
I'll do it.
I didn't want to do it, but it just hit me.
I'm going to do it.
Who?
I'm just going to rip off the bandaid.
I'm taking my Giants getting 10 in Kansas city.
I got to do it.
I got to tell you, Paul, I stayed away from that game because I was
going to get a little bit of a hit.
I got to tell you, Paul, I stayed away from that game because I don't
like Kansas city's defense.
Kansas city fucking stinks.
And say, how do they stink?
They go into the soup bowl two years in a row.
They retain their team.
What is going on in Kansas city?
They're defensive backs.
They're defense stinks.
And I, I don't know.
I'm going to take my Giants getting 10 on the road.
I'm starting the game.
I'm starting the game.
10 nothing with my heart.
Let's do it.
Betting with your heart, Paul.
That's a dangerous thing.
That is the gambling equivalent of dating a stripper.
All right.
I got one, my divisional rivalry theory.
Those games usually are close.
The bills are getting 13 and a half playing the Buffalo bills.
And I don't know why.
I don't know why those fucking dirty fish.
I'm going to take the dolphins getting 13 and a half.
Okay.
Now, wait a minute.
Are you see you fucking with my bed again?
No, no, no.
Are you looking at other shit?
Oh, no, I'm looking.
Paul, I am so not confident about my, my things here.
I actually need my bets this week.
I need you.
Dude, that was the third one.
I just go, I'm taking the dolphins getting 13 and a half.
He just go, okay.
The fuck is that?
That was me looking at, I'm looking at my bet.
I'm sorry.
This isn't good for you.
Paul, and this could go either way.
When the man is looking at the fucking bets right before you,
it's not good.
I, I feel horrible this week.
I mean, I feel, I feel dread.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know if I'm not seeing it.
All right.
So you're taking, oh, you're taking the points is what you're saying.
I'm taking the points.
You're taking the points with the fish.
I'm going to fish.
It's available.
No one cares.
Why didn't they go with the sharks?
The sharks was open back to Miami sharks.
This is bad.
I'm taking the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Steelers getting three and a
half on the road to the, uh, the Cleveland Browns.
I usually like that pic.
Is Baker Mayfield playing?
No, I like that pic.
Big Ben going into Cleveland.
I mean, he probably has a fucking time share up there.
He does so well.
His whole career.
He's owned those guys.
I don't know if he's going to yell it afterwards like Aaron Rogers, but I like that
pic.
All right, bastard.
All right.
I don't know why Paul.
I lost money last week betting against the Colts, but I feel like the Colts.
I don't know.
I'm still not believing it.
Tennessee Titans.
They got that, that Derek Henry.
I mean, that guy's a problem.
He's a problem in the first half.
He runs into the first half the way, you know, running backs, having a big day running the
second half.
I'm going to take the Tennessee Titans getting one point in the house at that piece of shit.
Jim Hersey lives in.
I love that bit in Indianapolis.
I love, I believe in Mike Vrabel.
I think he's a better coach and, uh, I don't know.
I'm putting money on, um, who the fuck's their quarterback?
Wayman Tisdale.
What's the guy's name?
What's that?
What's that quarterback's name?
None to my head.
I would say that that's going to happen.
I love that pick.
So good for you.
That should be a W in my book.
Now here you go.
You ready for this one?
I'm made.
This might be the biggest disaster.
This might be the worst.
Alex.
What's that?
Who's the Titans quarterback?
The Titans quarterback.
Hey, Ryan Tanner Hill.
Oh, Tanner Hill.
Tanner Hill.
That's it.
Tanner bomb.
Um, all right.
Well, maybe he does something this week against the cult.
So we remember his fucking name.
How about that, Paul?
I am going to do something stupid, man.
I might, this might be the worst week ever.
I'm taking the Detroit lions at home, getting three and a half to get their first win of
the year.
They're fucking oh and seven.
I'm taking the Cardinals to get their first loss and the fucking lions to get their first
win.
There you go.
Dude, that is such a huge game for the Packers.
That is such a huge game.
If they go in there, Paul, and they get their fucking asses handed to him, I feel like,
you know, their season is over.
As far as being a fan, not saying they're not going to make the playoffs, but just as
a fan, you got to be thinking like, all right, we are not, we're not up to speed here.
I think that's a good way to win it.
I think, I think they go in there.
Paul, I think they're going to be really focused.
Aaron Rodgers are going to win that game.
Aaron Rodgers are going to win that game.
Or I like the points either way.
Got into my head.
I got Arizona, man.
I just think Kyler Murray is going to be like, I'm going to show you who the new MVP of
the league is.
You're coming into my house, the JobbingCenter.com arena.
Worst thing.
I can't name ever.
All right.
Anyways, that's our picks for this week, Paul.
I want to know how much I thought you were at least two games ahead of me.
Wait, Monday night special.
What are we going to do?
Let the Monday night special.
Monday night special.
What's the money for our listeners?
Oh, Monday night special is my giants and chiefs.
How are we going to do that?
All right.
Well, we're going to do it, Paul.
You're going to leave you.
For once, you're going to think about the listeners, Paul.
Think about their hard earned money.
Instead of your fucking red, blue and white heart.
All right.
What are we betting on here?
Are we taking the points?
You think the chiefs are going to cover, cover 10?
I do.
Home.
You do.
All right.
I mean, I hate this game.
I mean, if you do, you could pick that.
I'll pick another bet then.
You could.
How would say Kwong Barkley been playing?
He's back now.
He was hurt.
It's not an answer.
How's he playing?
When he was before he got hurt, he was playing great.
He was back.
And he got hurt.
Oh, he got hurt again.
He got an ankle twist a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, so he's not playing.
He is playing.
But he's hurt.
And Tony's playing.
Tony Dungey.
Who's Tony?
Tony time.
Oh, Cadarius Tony.
It's Tony time.
Florida Gator rookie.
It's the shit, dude.
Um, where's he been all year?
He's been dude.
He's fucking having an amazing game.
He's having an amazing game.
11 catches.
189 yards.
This is so fucking out.
We should not be able to pick a Monday night special when either the Patriots or Giants
are playing.
You want to skip it?
We could skip it.
You're talking about the Knicks.
Every year you actually have me thinking that they're going to do well.
Andrew, can we do one where we don't pick the money line where we pick like other things?
Can we do like this one's going to get a touchdown?
This one's going to do that.
I say the chiefs.
Yeah.
Just like, just like we're doing every week, you can pick money line.
You can pick touchdown.
Who to score first.
It doesn't win that game, Paul.
You want to say Daniel Jones throws a touchdown?
Nobody falls down on the 12 yard line.
How about he got the first down and then he fumbles the ball?
Can I bet on that?
Where's he from?
He's from Duke, right?
He went to Duke.
He got a Duke University.
I think he's done fumbling and falling down.
I think he's smart enough to know.
He found it figured out that he is playing great.
He is playing great.
All right.
I say, Saquon Barkley is going to get a touchdown.
I say this.
You ready?
What do you want?
The Florida kid.
How about this?
I say Patrick Mahomes throws a pick.
Paul, you know what?
You're just like, is this what you want to have happen?
No, I think Patrick Mahomes is really, really struggling.
All right, Paul.
We're going to say that.
We're going to say throws a pick.
I saw the confidence just drain out of your face.
We're taking that.
All right.
This is off track betting, Paul, on this one.
All right.
So we got a Daniel Jones.
It's going to be big on this one.
A Daniel Jones touch therapy tickets.
Paul's betting on the Giants tariff of tickets.
He bet the horse.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's over.
All right.
I mean, that's got to pay big.
Listen, Patrick Mahomes throws a pick.
Daniel Jones throws a touchdown and Bill likes the chiefs to,
you like the chiefs to cover 10 money line.
Okay.
Oh, this is going to be people are going to be tuning in Monday,
including me.
It's a fun one.
Well, I'm going to be rooting for you guys.
You know, I don't know why.
Patriots always did well against the chiefs.
Something's wrong.
That, you know, when, when your wife is talking about you,
what, you know, he's got family running around hotels fighting.
He's got, he's got things going on.
There's a lot of things going on internally.
And when that happens, things don't work on the field.
We'll see.
I don't know, Paul.
Why are the chiefs bad?
I get in a big fight with my wife.
I go out on the stage and I fucking crush it.
Yeah, but it's different.
You don't have to throw fucking touchdowns.
It means different.
It's what I do.
Yeah, but it's what they do.
Paul, you vent.
What do you think they're doing?
They're going to take it out on the other team.
Now, you know, this is new side of you now.
You're like this psychologist every week.
No, he's probably,
God, this guy went out to a Hooters.
He's weighed down with the wings and the blue cheese.
But I can't knock it.
I mean, you're up by a couple of games.
I mean, no, man.
Dr. Paul, I like this.
If my wife was doing that, I would,
it would be good on stage,
not playing in a professional game.
I'd be thinking about it in the huddle.
Like, listen, we're going to turn that in his mind.
No, you wouldn't.
She fucking did that.
Paul, you wouldn't.
No, wait, what are we talking about?
What happened?
No, I just,
there's a lot of shit going on in the chiefs outside.
How do you know?
How do you know?
Where are you getting this scuttle butt?
I, that's what I heard.
I was trying to figure out what's going on with the chiefs.
And I was like, the chief stink.
And somebody goes, yeah, dude, you hear about it.
You know, I don't want to talk about a guy's family,
but you hear about the guy's dad in a hotel.
And I was just like, all right, I don't, you know,
seems like there's a lot of shit going on over there.
So, you know, you know, that was kind of my,
if I bet if you went around the league,
there's a lot of shit going on in a lot of, you know,
these are fucking true.
That's true.
I could be wrong.
I could be a hundred percent wrong.
Okay.
But there's nothing going on in the chief's locker room.
They just a little lot of step with each other.
Why are the chiefs this not like, why are the chiefs?
Like you said, go from that good to this bad very quickly.
I don't know, Paul,
why did you buy those red, gray and fucking white nikes?
Cause cause it had Jordan's silhouette floating on it.
Do you really like those?
Those are fucking Katrina's three.
Those, those look like the Ohio state ones.
They bug me every week looking at that.
No, no, don't, don't say that.
I don't like those fucking loud mouth Ohio state fans.
Look up, look at the black.
Um, I like those ones.
Those ones are nice.
So that's what we got.
We got my home's pick.
We got the chiefs on the money line and we got Dan Jones
throwing a touchdown.
Dude, my home's pick, dude, that is a fucking,
that's got to be good odds.
Like that's got to be good money though, right?
Of course it is.
We're betting the long shot.
I bet it happens.
Giants D starting to play better.
We'll see.
Paul, if you're right about that, if he throws a pick,
I'm going to sing Connie Francis's,
I'm sorry to you next week on the pot during this.
What would you do if he threw a pick?
I'm sorry.
What would you do if you throw a pick?
So sorry, huh?
They, what would you do if he threw a pick?
They lost and then in the after interview,
he just goes, yeah, man, shit at home on my wife.
Andrew, play that, play that Andrew.
It's got a lot of stuff going on, you know,
a lot of stuff going on at home.
Shouldn't know hotel.
You guys all heard about that.
I'm, I'm sorry.
All right. Let's, let's, that's it everybody.

afternoon just before Friday, Monday,
morning podcast to help get you through your fucking cardio

Have a great weekend, you cunts.
I'm doubly in your window,
Caught me off the tempo, miles outside to try to sleep.
Postal codes are changing, late to the rain,
But stop trying to love him anyway, again,
Cause it's all us, the plastic faces in the sunlight.
Then I'm searching for you freely.
I wanna tell you, but it's all I know.
If I could see you again, then that holds you well.
Hey, what's going on?
It's Bill Byrne.
It's the Monday morning podcast for Monday,
October 28th, 2013, three days before Halloween, everybody.
Ah, the little bastards are coming.
You know, they're all going to come walking up to the door.
Do you know the lovely Nia has canceled Halloween for this year?
She was so fucking mad after last year.
We went all out and I got the full-size candy bus,
Right? Cause I wanted to be that house.
The fucking good shit house.
Dude, you gotta go up to hell.
Yeah, they got the full-size ones.
You know, like people would actually say anything.
The good people would.
The future banker kids, they wouldn't say shit, you know?
They'd sit there with their little fucking
Fisher Price pocket watch and say,
Nothing to see here.
Then they'd probably try to go back for seconds.
But anyways, yeah, I'm behind.
I gotta go eat a pumpkin.
I gotta make my traditional pumpkin bread.
And you can laugh all you want.
It's the shit.
And if you ever had it, you'd fucking apologize to me,
both verbally and in writing.
That's how fucking good my pumpkin bread is.
I'll put it up against any of you fucking ladies.
And you fucking women out there, huh?
You want to go head to head with my pumpkin bread?
You know what I say?
You know what I say?
Say fucking bring it.
I'm joking.
It's pretty fucking good though.
It should be.
Well, goddamn vegetable oil in it.
It'd be fucking moist to February.
But anyways, yeah, last year there was just like a bunch of
like high school kids walking up with barely a costume on.
They have that shit eating grin on their face.
You know that fucking age when kids get into high school
and they think they're smarter than adults
and they think adults are morons.
Because, you know, when, you know,
we're not listening to their fucking music or whatever the hell it is.
Because they're starting to shave.
They get that fucking look on their face, which is hilarious.
I don't get mad at it because I did the same thing.
It's really fucking funny when you think about it,
that you would think that I guess because when you look at adults,
we got wrinkle wrinkles on our face.
We got the pot belly.
They forget about the experience, the life experience that we have.
Like we're not fucking trying to do chin-ups here, sir.
Young man.
Okay, we're talking about a little business transaction here
with your dumb fucking fake mustache on.
I know what the fuck you're doing.
You think I didn't do that at your age?
You little fucking three-whiskered cunt.
Get the fuck off my porch.
Now see, that's what I think we should do.
I think we should still hand out the candy.
Because Nia's dumb at the whole fucking thing.
I don't know, if you guys listened to my podcast from last year,
there was some fucking guy.
I don't know where what his accent was.
But he wanted some candy with his kids.
And this guy was like three years younger than me.
And I just was like, really?
Really?
And he was just like, yes.
Like really?
And he's like, yes.
And I didn't know what to do.
I fucking choked in the moment and I gave him candy.
I should have been like, get the fuck out of here.
What is your costume?
Going as a fucking immigrant?
That's what you are.
That's like me being a red-headed douche.
Why don't you give me some of your fucking baklava?
Whatever the fuck you make.
So anyways, but I don't want to fuck over the kids.
The kids are adorable.
And you know, if they're going to get cavities,
I'd like it to come from this house.
They're going to be future little fat fucks.
I'd like to start right here on my front porch.
So I think she's coming around.
I think she's coming around.
We went to the movies last night and we saw Gravity.
We got to find ourselves a new kind of gravity.
And that was fucking amazing.
But you know what sucks?
The last fucking, like the last five times I've gone to go see a movie in IMAX.
You know, Neil always sets it up and I always say,
look, this is IMAX, right?
This is IMAX.
Yes, yes, it's IMAX, it's IMAX.
There's like IMAX and then there's IMAX Lite,
where it's the smaller screen.
The only fucking time I've ever gone to a movie
and I really saw it in IMAX is when I saw the Heath Ledger Batman.
And that was one of those deals where I couldn't see the cunts head in front of me
and I felt like I was going to fall off the edge of the earth.
Alright?
That's IMAX.
And what I saw last night was not IMAX.
That was the, that was the Bud Light of IMAX,
where it's, it is a giant screen,
but like to me IMAX is all you can see is the screen in front of you.
So fucking annoying.
Those douchebags down there in Universal City Walk,
they got like three IMAX ones.
They got the real one, you know, the Alec Baldwin one,
and then they got the Billy Baldwin and the fucking Stephen Baldwin one.
And if you're not careful when you go down there,
they fucking pass you off.
You know?
Not saying that it's not still a good experience,
not saying that those aren't too fine actors,
but it's not Alec Patriot Act.
It's not him.
Alright?
So last night I was a little disappointed with that,
but other than that it was fucking great.
Sandra Bullock killed it.
And Jesus Christ.
And it's just, just the thought of,
I think I could actually,
I could be at peace floating away from a station
and dying that way,
and slowly just having the oxygen go out.
As lonely as that would seem.
Just the fucking,
as long as I wasn't just twirling through the air,
doing somersaults, and there's the earth,
and there's the sun and there's the space,
and there's the earth, and there's the sun,
I couldn't fucking handle that.
If I was just sitting there floating,
looking back at earth and just sort of drifting away,
I think that that would be a pretty fucking cool way to die.
Why do you just gradually go to sleep?
I don't know, if you're breathing in only carbon dioxide,
do you get like a headache?
I mean, that way it's such a fucking peaceful way to go.
If you're gonna die before your time.
Okay?
Okay, what do you have?
You've fallen off a building.
Fuck!
Splat!
Right?
That fucking,
the fucking wind in your ears you're going down,
making noise,
the fucking whatever noise you'd make on the way down,
fuck that!
Getting eaten,
like I think beyond,
would you rather get burned to death,
burned alive,
or get eaten by a shark?
I mean, eating alive is fucking brutal.
Like if I had to get eaten alive, I'm going with a big cat.
Big cat in Africa.
It's fucking over.
After seeing the lion tamer there,
which really,
that's really just a title.
Nobody tames a fucking lion.
You basically, you had a good day.
You're on a good run,
but you know what's gonna happen eventually.
You know what I mean?
That's like getting an honorary doctorate from a fucking school.
I have an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
Great. Well, you're not smarter than anybody,
or you're not even as smart
as anybody who went to this school.
You just wrote the Macarena,
or you fucking had your own sitcom.
You know?
And they knew that all those eggheads were going to be boring as hell
when they were given speeches on graduation day,
so they brought you in.
You're a fucking clown,
and they gave you a piece of paper.
That's the same thing with lion tamers.
All right?
You're not taming them.
Okay? You're trying to break their spirit,
but at the end of the day,
they're a fucking lion,
and they're the king of the beast.
Okay? Although some would say that the Bengal tiger
could kick the shit out of a lion.
I don't know about kick the shit out of him,
but I don't know.
But anyways, just watching that lion tamer in Vegas,
like when that thing
grabbed him
by the throat,
that dude went limp in like fucking two seconds.
It was like
the UFC.
You know, when someone gets choked out,
you get choked out real fucking quick.
So I wouldn't want to get mauled.
Like, I wouldn't want to get attacked by a bear.
They're very sloppy.
You know what I mean? They're very, like,
rip your face off and, you know,
eat a little buddy in and come back later
after they took a nap kind of shit.
I like lions, tigers.
They just get right to it.
They grab you by your fucking throat
in two seconds. That's it. You're out.
You're dead. It's over.
And then they, you know,
then they have a meal.
I wonder if any of us
tastes better than the others.
Like, if you ate healthy,
if you're like a...
if you eat like a macrobiotic diet,
if you're like a grass-fed cattle,
as opposed to
when I saw like me smoking cigars,
drinking booze, occasionally going to McDonald's,
do I taste more like, you know,
Drake's cakes, some dried out shit?
I don't know.
But anyways, when you look at all those,
and then the worst
of all the getting eaten alive,
other than a fucking Komodo dragon,
which would basically bite you
and then slowly follow you around
for the next three days
as the poison takes over,
you know, as you're laying there
and the thing's like two feet away,
you know, just staring at you.
It's a lizard tongue
flicking at the side of your face,
but not eating you, you know?
That's fucking horrific.
Plus, you know, reptiles,
they just don't have any...
There's no emotion.
They're heartless.
They don't give a fuck.
Mammals, even like a lion or something,
they have some sort of understanding
what the fuck it is they're doing,
you know, reptiles are like the Terminator.
Not even.
Terminator could talk.
I don't know what the fuck they are,
but they freak me out. I don't like them.
I really don't.
I respect mammals. I have...
I don't like reptiles.
There, I made that statement,
and I'm sure I'm going to get some backlash on that,
and I'm prepared to go and CNN and defend myself
when I go and split screen with some fucking lizard lover.
But anyways,
I could die like that.
I definitely could.
As long as I wasn't cold,
as long as that suit held up
and I was just sort of floating,
that would kind of be
the most...
That would be the ultimate premature death.
If you're going to die in your 30s,
40s or whatever,
I still had half my life ahead of me or whatever.
As long as I wasn't tumbling,
if I was just sitting there floating,
on the planet,
for the last 20 years of my life,
that's pretty fucking awesome.
You know, me and Lance Bass up there
just hanging out.
I don't fucking know.
I have no idea. So anyways,
I am seven days in.
No, six days in.
No booze. Shut it down.
I'm getting the glow back.
All right?
Doosan?
Although yesterday was a bad day,
exercise day for me.
I just sat on the couch all fucking day
and gave a fuck.
You know, just watched sports all day
and gave a shit.
Who's the worst?
I watched that Patriots Dolphins game
with...
Right out of the gate.
My thanks to the officiating crew
that worked that game.
I am trying to remember
the last time I've watched a game
where my team
got so many fucking
huge calls to keep the drive going.
That pass interference call
on that defensive
back against Gronkowski
was criminal.
Criminal. I believe that gave us...
Kept the drive alive and we got three points on that one.
And then they had the phantom hands to the face,
flag thrown
three, like three, four seconds
after the play ended.
Travesty.
And then there was the fumble.
And they said the Dolphins
slapped it forward or whatever.
That's one of those borderline, was he reaching forward or whatever.
But after those other two fucking ones,
we get the benefit of the doubt again.
Brady got sacked, he fumbled the ball
and the ball went ten yards
back in the other direction.
We got the ball back and it was first down.
Lost 15 yards and still somehow
it was first down and
we were able to come back and beat him.
And
the Patriots are overachieving
this year.
It's really
an unreal, I can't believe the record that
what are we, six and two?
Is that what it is? We lost to the Jets and we lost to the Bengals.
But
you know, I'm not
like, I'm a realist. I know what's going to happen
when we play the Broncos. I know what's going to happen
if we played the Seahawks or if we played the Colts
or even the 49ers.
Look, I know Belichick is a fucking genius
and that we can somehow
I don't know what, but at this point
you know, that was what
was driving me fucking nuts yesterday
is they start
the goddamn game
and they talk about how the Patriots
have injuries at all three levels
on their defense. We're missing our best guy,
Vince Wilfork, our defensive
line, best guy, plus Kelly,
our best linebacker, Mayo
is out for the season, our best corner,
Akib Tlaib,
they're all out.
They're all fucking out.
Hernandez went to fucking jail.
Gronk just got back.
Amandola is fucking in and out. We got nothing
going on.
You know, so they address
that and then the end of the game
I'm watching Hall of Fame
fucking players talking
about Brady's numbers and how
his numbers are down. I'm going, this is an
atypical, I mean a top Brady with
125 yards passing
it's like you just fucking said
how about
Tom Brady, somehow we're
fucking six and two
with nobody
fucking nobody.
We got nobody. We got Gronk back, but we got
fucking nobody and we're somehow
winning goddamn games and
I don't know.
So I am a realist, so despite the fact
that we're six and two, you know, I know
the hammers coming down. I know it is
even if we win the division and all that
I mean, I'm not
delusional at all
and then after I'm dealing
with that shit, I actually call up Verzi
to talk about these moron fucking analysts
and
Verzi
I'm gonna start, he's just
sprinkling his fairy dust on the New York
Giants like every fucking week, right?
They're 0-1-1, 0-1-2 and he's
just going like, dude, you know, I think we're
gonna win next week, 0-1-3, dude, I think we're
gonna win next week, 0-1-4,
0-1-6, right?
And he starts going like, dude, you know, I think we can go
on a fucking run here and blah, blah, blah, right?
So now they've won two weeks in a row.
Okay?
And I know they're not, they're nowhere as near as bad
as their fucking record, but
Verzi fucking yesterday
did the classic
Paul Verzi.
Okay? I remember
when the Patriots played the Giants the first time
in the Super Bowl, right before the Super Bowl
starts, he goes, dude, I'm telling you, I
think the Giants could surprise some people today.
That's what he said.
I think they could surprise some people
today. He wasn't saying they are.
He wasn't putting any money on it.
He just threw it out there.
Which is perfect, because if they do, he gets
to be like, dude, what'd I say?
And then if they didn't, he goes, well, I just said, you know,
I just had a feeling.
Fucking that non-committal shit.
So now he goes,
the NFC fucking east
is so fucking pathetic this year.
The Giants started 0-6.
They're now 2-6, and they're only
two games out of first.
They could actually win their division.
All right?
Which is
classic Giants that last like seven years.
It's just like the planets aligned
for these guys. It is their fucking time.
So what does Verzi say yesterday?
He goes, dude, I'm telling you, I
think they could go on a run. They could
win the Super Bowl.
Perfect!
Perfect fucking prediction.
Didn't say they're gonna...
Didn't put anybody down.
He throws it out there, so I'm guaranteeing you.
If the Giants
win the Super Bowl, he's gonna go, dude,
I called it because he threw it out there.
I swear to God, it's listening to that guy
predicts shit.
It's like watching a guy play roulette.
Who just comes up with chips and just
fucking dumps them on a bunch of different numbers.
Ah, fucking.
It drives me insane.
And please send this clip to him.
You don't even need to, because I'm gonna
give him shit about it today.
And I actually like the Giants and that type of thing.
And I think that they could go on a fucking run.
And who knows if they get healthy?
I mean, who knows? But I mean, I don't know.
I don't see them...
I don't know. The Saints, the fucking Seahawks.
There's a lot of guys to get through.
You know what I mean?
The reason why the NFL is great
is everybody does have a fucking shot.
Especially if you play in the fucking
NFC East.
But I don't know.
I'm gonna give him some shit.
I'm gonna tell him right now.
I'm gonna call that fucker today.
And I'm gonna say, listen,
I want you to put money on it right now
that the Giants are gonna win the fucking Super Bowl.
And if you don't put money down on it,
then I don't want to hear a fucking word out of you.
Yeah.
You know what's a classic Paul Versey pick?
Uh, Xander Bogarts.
Uh, I was watching that shit.
You know, just watching the guy.
I heard a little hype about him.
I read a little bit about him.
And then I watched like two at bats.
And I'm watching this 21-year-old kid
working the count in the fucking World Series.
And I'm like, this is a Versey pick right here.
He would jump on the bandwagon.
I'm telling you, I think this kid could do something.
Oh, is he gonna be pissed at me?
I'm just fucking with you, Paul.
But for the love of God,
just say some shit's gonna happen
and put some fucking money on it.
Stop with your fucking...
I'll tell you, you know, I think it could rain this week.
Um, all right.
Plowing ahead here.
A lot of sports this fucking week, as always.
I feel really bad because I've been neglecting my Bruins.
I know we lost to the Devils.
And I know we beat...
I think we beat San Jose crazy in our last second shot.
I've just been...
wrapped up watching baseball.
And, uh...
I gotta tell you, dude, I did not miss it.
Watching playoff baseball
when your team is in it
will take fucking 30 years off your life
per game.
And, um...
And I know that's not a unique experience.
I know Tigers fans have gone through it
and I know Cardinals fans have gone through it,
certainly with us being two...
two games apiece.
And, um...
I gotta tell you, it's been exciting,
but I fucking hate baseball.
I can't handle watching the shit.
I hate that there's no fucking clock.
It just...
I hate that you just can't fucking
win a game easily.
You can't just be up
a bunch of fucking runs
and everything's good.
You can't just be up four to one and it's all good.
You know, at some point.
At some point.
Between the sixth and the eighth inning,
the other team is somehow going,
hey, walks the first guy on base
and then it's just gonna be this fucking nightmare
and then they're gonna take the guy out
and some other fucking stiff is gonna come in.
And it's just...
I have Tourette's
when I watch it.
I have to walk away. I have to go in the other room.
I have to put the thing on mute
because I'm convinced Tim McCarver
hates the Red Sox and the Yankees.
I learned that he hates the Yankees through Verzi.
And, you know, he's a former Cardinal.
I just think he just fucking...
And I'm really trying to listen
objectively going, is this guy criticizing
the Cardinals the way he's criticizing
slash predicting
possible bad shit
for the Red Sox?
Fucking guy drives me up
the goddamn wall.
Um...
And he says
positive shit about Ortiz and
positive shit about
Xander Bogarts. And other than that
it's just gloom and doom
with that guy. Drives me up the fucking wall.
But I have no idea who's gonna win
this series and it's been a great series
so far and two of the most bizarre endings
to games.
Games out three and four and that
obstruction thing. I'm not gonna be a bitch
and complain about it.
I don't know what the rule is like most baseball
fans.
The first time I saw the definition of it
and I don't fucking know.
I mean, I think it's
more positive way of looking at it is
probably we shouldn't have thrown the ball down
to third base slash we probably
should have caught the ball
and I don't know how you call
obstruction when you miss
the first half of the collision.
That would be my only part of it.
But it seemed like everybody
including our own manager said they got it
right so they got it right.
The fuck you gonna do?
Um, whatever.
It's tied up to anybody's
fucking game and I hope we're gonna win.
I'm obviously
I want the Red Sox to win but I really want us
to win because I can
tell how much Verzi wants us
not to win. How much he
fucking hates the Red Sox and their
fucking beards
and their anti anti Yankee
dress code. It's driving him
like the level that he
gives a fuck makes me laugh
because it reminds me of the ridiculousness
of why do I care.
It's like especially with Verzi it's like
why the fuck dude you got 27 championships
if we win this one it's our 8th
what is the problem?
But he for
some reason fucking hates
the Red Sox.
You know for the most part
other than 0-4 in the last fucking
nine years we've done nothing
but wonderful things for the Yankees
and you know you think if Chicago
could find it in their hearts
to thank us
you know you think that a Yankee fan
like Verzi could say something nice
you know but I don't think he has
it in him. I'm just fucking
with him. Alright let's do a little advertising
here for this week. What do we got here?
What do we got the usual?
Oh this is the one that's been blowing up
and I've been getting nothing but positive reviews
everybody. Are you a man?
That probably means
you got a shave right? Unless you got that
fucking kid disease
where you never get any whiskers because
your parents smoke too much weed or whatever the fuck
however you get that disease. Is that a technical
disease? I don't know what it is.
Dollar Shave Club everybody
there's so many things in the world
that irritate me.
People who had no idea
what the obstruction rule was
and then watched it on ESPN
and then start breaking it down like they went to
law school. That irritates me.
What else
irritates me? I don't fucking know.
The fact that I've been eating so well
and doing great and then I went to the movies
last night got a Kit Kat and peanut
fucking M&M's like that wasn't
enough sugar.
You know?
That irritates me. A bunch of stuff irritates me.

Anybody watch Fast and Loud this week?
I taped a bunch of episodes
and I have a new favorite car.
I've always been a Ford guy
and
the dude Casey on the show
paints the cars which I think is so fucking badass.
I was never really into the body work.
At first I was into watching them do the
suspensions and dropping motors in and that type of thing
but over
the
years of watching the shit on
YouTube and watching people redoing cars
and stuff I'm really starting to get into the
knowing how to paint the car.
It looks so fucking easy
but I watched Richard do it one week and he sucked at it
so I really see that there's an art to it
but anyways
that dude Casey on the show had this
55 Ford Custom Line
and
I think that's what Custom Line or Custom Line are
I had never heard of it. I was always
sweating the fucking bell airs
thinking that Chevy was doing it right
and let me look this up here.
Yeah, Custom Line
and they redid that one and they painted it fucking
all white.
They took the chrome off of it. That car was the shit
and then they ended up selling it
to Mark Cuban
of the Dallas Mavericks
and
I swear to God if you ever get sick of that car I'd buy it
I'd buy it off of them.
I don't know if I'd pay what the fuck he paid for it.
I don't know that kind of money but Jesus
such a badass fucking car
so anyways
I'm in town
after you know I've been on the road this whole
basically this entire year
and I got a two week break here
and I've been really enjoying myself just hanging around
the house finally
I
gotten back into playing drums a little bit
I'm doing that Mike Johnston 10 days to faster
hands workout. I highly recommend it
I'm six days in as of today
I'm finally able to stick
with it just because you know when I travel
I kind of barnstorm around where it's like a different city
every night
and it's really hard you know you bring a practice pad
your drumsticks and trying to find a table
high enough it's a big pain in the ass
so making sure that I'm doing it this time
I'm sticking with it
and
anyways I'm getting
back into all my hobbies
believe it or not this week I'm actually
going to try to make homemade ravioli
I don't know I'm all over the fucking
map Nia said that to me the other day she goes
you're all over the map
you have ADD
you play drums, you play guitar
you make pumpkin bread
you know
you can fix cars a little bit
the outskirts basically
I can't really fix cars I can do a little bullshit on it
I could have fucked up my seatbelt
I could have put that in that's a couple of bolts
I can handle that shit whatever
you ride motorcycles a little bit
you're all over the fucking map
and I was like wait a minute
but I stuck with stand-up comedy I've been doing that
for 22 years straight she goes yeah well
you know
yeah well you know that's the fucking thing I do
everything else is the other shit I do
isn't that right Cleo
look at her over there she got her two beds
stacked up on each other like a fucking
double cheeseburger
I've never seen anything sleep
more in its life than that dog oh by the way
I'm doing a benefit this Sunday

a bunch of dog lovers
who the hell else is on it I can't remember
me Whitney Cummings a couple other people

and what's even it's even better
is they bring a bunch of pitbulls down there

it really is my favorite fucking dog
it's just the best they get the best heads
they're fucking jacked
you know
you should see my dogs
my dogs legs it's ridiculous her back legs

I'm like shaman

thought behind

since the 30
green piece activists arrested for
attempting to board the I'm not even gonna try
to say it why not I'll give you a laugh
Preya Zamo Lama Yamaha
fucking oil platform
were transferred from police
lockups
to remand prisons in
mermans the mermans region
in the Arctic Circle
that really scared the shit out of me
like I literally thought that they were on just
they built these jails on the ice
but it's sort of the one of the most
north
I think it's the most northwest city
in Russia
basically it
butts up against like Finland
Sweden Norway like the top of those countries
so they're kind of all the way up there
in these goddamn
jails and um
where the hell is it here they
actually were able to
uh
they reduced the charges so they're now
Russian drops piracy charges
cuts maximum jail term
in half
acts of his face up to seven years in prison
if convicted
basically they I think they knocked it down to
uh
I don't know almost like hooligan behavior
says Russia on Wednesday
dropped the piracy charges against 30 people
involved in a green piece
pro
ah sorry about that the batteries
cut out on me uh
speaking of green peace I was trying to make sure I used up all
my other batteries before I fucking throw them out
because I don't know where the fuck to recycle them
um where the hell was I
um
I'll just start it over again
they dropped the piracy charges
blah blah blah blah blah they face up
to seven years
down from 15 years the charges against
the activists who protested the platform
um
last month have been changed from
piracy to hooliganism
the federal investigator committee
said and there's a whole green piece thing if you guys
want to get involved and try to help to get these
knuckleheads out of jail
um
I don't know like
protesting this is a really
sad truth protesting is difficult
enough in your own country
even if you have a democracy
because you know the cops are going to show up
you know what the deal is
and as much as you tell everybody
just remain peaceful and then they won't
club us down somebody
eventually ends up throwing a rock
or doing something
or some conspiracy theorists say
that the government
hires somebody to go in
with the protesters and throw
something so then the cops can then beat them down
and tear gas them I don't know if that's fucking true
but I'd love to think it is
um
it's hard enough to fucking do it in your own country
I gotta give it up the fucking balls
those people had to try and do that
um
and just the situation that they're in
reminds me of that documentary I saw
on the ganja queen did you guys ever see that
it was basically this lady
that went to
Bali
and um according to her
she loaded a boogie board
with a boogie you know
she checked that and that was her carry on
and then when she got off
the uh the plane
the Bali
state fucking troopers
came over and said hey is that your boogie board
fucking satchel
and she goes yeah it is
and then they opened it up and there was all this weed in there
it was all this
weed man
and they don't in Indonesia
they don't fuck around
when it comes to drugs
they have a zero tolerance for it
and if you get busted with the shit
I think they put you to death
is what they usually do
and they say that
I just did Tom Rhodes podcast
which started to talk about this
and
they basically uh
he's been to Bali and I was like
dude don't you get scared and you just sort of laugh
he goes no I just don't bring any drugs into the country
and
I'm just kind of like
well
what if just something happens
what if somebody next to you has
him and just shoves him in your pocket
I know that's a ridiculous fear but like
you know what
I mean look
I'll go to another country and the country is that
if you kill somebody
it's punishable by death
and I can live within that because I
just can be like
well you know I'm not going to kill anybody
I think it's because
over here
if you get busted with weed and a lot of states now
it's legal
and then um
and if you get busted it's like no big deal
unless of course
you have a bunch of it and you get
busted for trafficking that's a whole other deal
but I mean it's not like somebody can just drop
a bunch of kilos of weed
on you and plant that on you
stick them in your fucking backpack you're going to know
they're there
but just the fact that you have one goddamn
joint on you
like dude I would
walk into that country
naked
I come in with
a fucking speedo I'd get a
colonic the week before
I would juice for a fucking month
and
I would have a cattle
prod and keep all other passengers
away from me and I would walk into there
wearing a goddamn thong
and that's the only way and even then I would be scared
punishable by fucking death
Jesus Christ
so anyways if you if you if you want to
watch something really disturbing
um
watch this ganja queen
was what she was called in the papers over there
they opened up her boogie board
uh satchel or whatever the fuck you call it
carry on case and there was a bunch of weed
in there and uh
she
they they were like we're going to put
you to death in the Australian
whatever the fucking syndicate whatever
you call it the embassy tried to get this
woman out of it and
uh just watch that
documentary this this I mean obviously
the Greenpeace 30 they're not
going to get put to death but
sitting here scrolling across the maps here
looking at this shit
where Bali is over and there's
Murmansk there it is right there
Jesus Christ
just fuck that how the fuck is anybody
going to help you
oh my god
that's why I always do that
amnesty international because that is a fucking
fear of mine just being thrown in a
goddamn jail
do you ever watch remember that show Arrested Abroad
did you ever see that thing
I watched that with Nia one time and Nia loves traveling
she goes that that made me never want to
fucking
go anywhere
again in my life but it's just it was one of those things
it was always like these fucking people
were trying to smuggle drugs
out of the country I mean
I'm trying to think of something that takes more balls
than that
I'm sure that you guys can come up with something
but you know
just being in a country
where if you get caught you're going to
go into that goddamn
gulag
and you're not going to be able to
speak the language I mean
talk about a man without a fucking country
and you're going to have to go in there
I mean Jean-Claude
Van Damme the height
of his powers is getting fucking
ass raped in that situation
it's just you're done you're fucking finished
Jesus Christ
I mean I get not working in a cubicle
they wanted to make you fucking money
but there's gotta be some other talent
that God gave you
where you can make money that doesn't involve shoving a key
a coke up your fucking ass
trying to get out of Columbia
there's gotta be another way to do it right
riding your fucking
moped to the airport
on unpaved roads
there has to be a better way
there's gotta be a better way to do it
um
anyways let's fucking
move on here
are we far enough into the podcast here
now that the thing cut out I gotta do the math here
I was like 35
ah Jesus I don't fucking know
let's uh let's read a
um
I think I went through everything that I wanted to talk about didn't I
oh yeah
I'm a little out of it here I haven't eaten yet today
cause last night I ate late
late at night I ate it like
one in the morning I think is when I finally stopped eating
um
came home had one of those fucking
uh antipasta plates
and uh like fucking one in the morning
and I adhere by that rule
that you go 12 hours after your last meal
like if you eat at 8 o'clock at night
eat the next day 8 in the morning I stayed up to one in the morning
so I'm not eating until one in the afternoon
alright that's how you become a tub of shit
right you go to bed at one
you wake up at 7 30 in the morning you have to go to work
and then you eat a bacon egg and cheese or a fucking donut
and it's over it's fucking over
so uh that's it
I tell you I got down to like fucking
a buck seventy
I told you I was gonna get into uh
sitting down no shirt on shape
that's what I want to get back to
just one more fucking time
in my life you know they're always making
these movies
you know they're gonna do it one more time
they got one coming out that I'm gonna go see
that that one with deniro
uh uh Michael Douglas
and fucking uh
Morgan Freeman
Alan Arcano
I think he's in there too I don't know if they're all in there
but like I'm gonna go see you know they're doing it one more time
right that's what the fuck I'm doing with my stomach
and uh I'm having
a hell of a time
because if you just stop eating you end up losing muscle
all of a sudden I look down at my arm I had the arms of a seventh
grader and I still had my little
fucking beer belly
you know looking like a goddamn turtle right now
so I gotta do something
I gotta I gotta fucking eat more meat
fucking do uh more I don't know what I gotta do
probably have to get a personal trainer
I don't want to do that
if somebody holding my ankles and I'm doing sit ups
I can't fucking do that shit
hahahaha
I was speaking to Michael Douglas
you know I finally sat down
and I watched behind the candelabra
you know
I am um
I'm too homophobic
I was too homophobic to watch it
and uh
you know
this is the thing about being homo being homophobic
there's all different levels of it
like that word oh he's homophobic
and then you get it like you think
gays are going to hell and they shouldn't be married
and what they're doing is unnatural
I'm not homophobic like that
um
I think you know being gay is just how you
naturally wired so it's completely natural
and go out and fucking
have at it
you know
fuck as many as you can
do your thing
I don't give a fuck
get married have a hell of a fucking time
you know
God bless you
but uh I get like
I don't know what it is in movies
when there's guys kissing each other
and caressing each other
it makes me fucking uncomfortable
and then there was something about watching
Douglas and Matt Damon
playing footsie with each other like that
fucking I didn't want to see him in a hot tub
together
I couldn't fucking watch it
I'm getting uncomfortable
talking about it but whatever I'm being honest
so anyways I was on the road
or something I don't know where the fuck I was at
I was back in Boston and it came on
and I watched
the second half of it and I gotta
tell you something that was it was absolutely
fucking phenomenal
it was fucking hilarious
I'm gonna have Neon here at some point
and do her Michael Douglas impression
going scat
scat
I can't do it as well as she can
um
they were
Michael Douglas and Matt Damon killed it in that fucking movie
and uh
and I was actually rooting
for Matt Damon's character
I felt bad for him
it's like dude you gotta get out of this relationship
fucking up your face
you gotta get off the drugs
you know
he's bringing in some younger guy
you gotta get out of here man
go take some night classes
do something else
what the fuck are you doing with this old man
with sparkly fucking coats
and his goddamn toupee
you know what I mean
he's using you I got into it like that
that's how well it was done
I highly recommend that
find the candelabra
old fucking homophobe Billy he liked it
um not 100% homophobe
well 20%
homophobe
um
is that offensive to say homophobe
am I supposed to say homophobic
there's something about abbreviating shit
that makes people annoyed
like you're not supposed to say tranny anymore
and you know what's funny I don't even know
if that's short for transvestite
or transsexual
I don't understand why that's bad
that's like if he names
Mike and somebody hey Mikey
that's that bad
you know that's really offensive
my name is Michael thank you very much
transvestite
tranny
what do you say
dick in a dress
what are you doing there buddy
sweet out you know you can't fucking say that
evidently despite if
in your heart you don't think there's anything wrong
fuck if that's what you want to do God bless you
you know God bless you
put on some fucking heels walk down
the street and let people know what you're doing
um I don't give a shit
I really don't
I really don't just fucking
don't play your music too loud
don't trick a treat
past a certain age
and uh
I don't know what else
if you're drunk I don't mind if you talk
to me when you're drunk just you know keep your distance
is there anything worse than what somebody
I had somebody over the weekend
I was down at the comedy store and just somebody
was fucking wasted and they just
you know somebody's wasted
and they just come up to you
you're in the middle of a conversation and they say
yeah fucking
they become like you know like toddlers
don't give a fuck
how they they have no concept of two people
talking they'll just barge in on the conversation
and they'll they'll just
I think I used to do a bit on this
I don't even know if I ever put it on a special
I used to talk about how they were like they were like
drunks and they would just start
in the middle of the conversation middle of a story
and let you try and figure it out
um
I don't even want to talk about it let's let's
let's read uh let's read some of this shit here
um
alright it's 29 too old
hey there Billy Bandwagon
for those of you who don't follow me on twitter I uh
been going by Bill Bandwagon
watching the Red Sox
uh I gotta tell you right now I am not
Bill Bandwagon anymore after fucking
aging 30 years watching all of these
goddamn games I am back to die hard
I'm not die hard maybe I am
maybe maybe I'll come back to watching
uh baseball we'll see the jury
is out but uh
Bill Bandwagon left
after we lost two games in a row
and there was the obstruction call
he took off and die hard Bill
fucking hung around alright anyways
first he says I just want to say love the podcast
and your comedy specials well thank you very much
uh he goes my question
do you think 29
is too old to start doing
stand up um
I have a decent full time job
as a paralegal and consider myself
lucky to be gainfully employed
however life in an office
is miserable and it gets worse as the years
pile on I'm not quitting
anytime soon but I've thought about
starting to try open mics
to see if I'm any good and maybe
maybe
and maybe what maybe help me
be a little more outgoing
what do you think is it still possible
when you're damn near 30
thanks and go fuck yourself dude
absolutely
absolutely
and this is the thing yeah don't quit
your day job that's what I did
I had a day job
and I was like let me try this
stand up thing and I started doing it
and I immediately loved it
and I just kept working on it
working on it but I didn't leave my
day job until
I actually kept my day job
when I could have left it I was making enough money
where I could live but I kept my day
job because I knew I was moving down
to New York and I wanted to save
up some money so I could
um
because I knew that I
you know I wasn't going to show up in New York
and they all great this fucking guy we don't
knows here let's give him a bunch of stage time
and I have to struggle
so I would absolutely
100%
if you're thinking about trying it
definitely try even if you just do it one time
you did it
you did it I went skydiving one time
I have to tell you guys that story
I went skydiving one time I did a static
line jump in Pepero Massachusetts
back in the day and
uh
I almost had a problem
they said sit in the door
get out go
so you sit in the door they open
the door to the plane you sit in the door
and then when they say get out
you put your feet you put one foot
your left foot on this almost
looks like an engine mount that's above
one of the wheels of this fucking plane
and then
you're hanging on
to the support for the wing that is
above the fucking plane you're basically
like a goddamn wing walker
and then
if you leaned up against a bar
if you put your body at a 45 degree
angle and you leaned up against a bar
in the upright push
up position and then you went down
like you were coming down to the floor that's basically
the position you're in like you're down
to the floor except it's the support to the wing
and then you have one foot on the engine
what looks like an engine mount
and then you have another foot pointed
straight out behind you
because what you're gonna do it says
you know sit in the door get out and go
when he slaps your shoulder
you let go
of the fucking plane
which makes no fucking sense
and then you bring that other leg up
parallel to where your other one was sitting
out and then you arc
alright and what I did was a static line
jump so I don't have to pull the shoot
but I don't have anybody with me
it's a static line jump and as you let go
it pulls your shoot
and you go arc one thousand two one thousand
three one thousand look
nothing look reach pull
I still remember that shit
like it was yesterday
two one thousand three one thousand
and it's look you turn
to see your parachute
to see if it's
opened if it's open property
properly but look if nothing
look you look down to where your
reserve is because if you don't
look where it is for some reason you might not be able
to grab it so look if nothing
look reach pull and then you pull
your reserve shoot and hopefully that thing fucking opens
or you're going to bounce
so
he was going sit in the door
and I was like what he's going sit in the door
I thought he said close the door
he's going sit in the door
so I sit in the door
and then he goes get out
I got out and then he said go
and when I let go
I didn't arc
I tried to grab for something
and I started doing front flips
it was coming out and I felt
it going by the inside
of my right leg I felt
this something
touch my right thigh and I was going oh my god
I'm going to get wound up
in this fucking thing
and I don't know who packed that shoot
but thank god it fucking came out
and then you had like a little transistor
radio or some shit on your shoulder
and then they just talked you down
you know right toggle left toggle
you had to pull it all the way down to your knee
there was this fat chick in the class
and she couldn't get it around her ass
and she ended up landing across the street in a pile of loom
and she dislocated her knee
fortunately that did not happen for me
and it was pretty awesome
but I did it that one time never needed to do it again
and I have the story
I have the experience so maybe stand up
will just be that for you
or you could
have the experience that I had
where the first time I walked to the microphone
I felt like it was like an out of body experience
like I was watching myself do it
and
it was
I found my calling in life
which is probably
one of the most exciting things
other than finding the person you're supposed to be with in life
so
I got to tell you this dude
if you're in your office every day
and it is a miserable thing
that could mean that you're not
you don't have the right job
or you need some sort of outlet
maybe you're working too hard
and maybe just going out and doing this one night
and kind of remembering to try
that going out and trying new things
is a fun thing to do
that you don't have to just be 100% about your career
I think that's the thing a lot of fucking adults
forget to do
after a while
and you have that thing once you get your life down
you know
I get up at this hour
I drive down this street
I go to work, I do the same thing every day
I'm comfortable, I know everybody
there's no new challenges
and then no one's going to make fun of me
like they did on the playground
and punch me in the face for having freckles
you can really get caught in that
and then you get in a rut
so I don't know if you're just in a rut with work
or whatever
but I would definitely recommend going out
and trying to stand up, believe me dude
I'm having more fun with it
than I ever had
years in
and I never feel like
well, I've had some struggles
but you do with anything
but when I'm on stage doing it
I never feel like
I don't feel like
how you feel in the office
but I'm not going to lie to you
before I started selling tickets
it was just a fucking awful show
and there was no security and everything
but anything worth
having
everybody would do it
so anyways, I'm getting too long winded here
go out and try it
next one
dear bill
you ruined the hobbit
he said
I'm a big fan of the podcast and your comedy
unfortunately I made the mistake of looking up your comedy on youtube
and came across the clip
where you took a shit on lord of the rings
you know what's funny, I don't even remember doing half of this shit
he said it was the scene
where the
himself summons
shadow facts
the lord of all horses
oh jesus
and you pointed out how ridiculous that was
oh I remember that
I am the lord of all horses
it's just so fucking over the top
he goes
I don't consider myself to be a big nerd
but I do love star wars
lord of the rings and all that nerd stuff
I like all of that shit
I watched the hobbit for the first time yesterday
they said something ridiculous
I pictured your ginger mug going
oh jesus
I was literally laughing every 30 seconds
well there you go then I turned lord of the rings
into a comedy for you
um
you know I saw a clip
of one of those things where the guy just looks like
he has elf ears
and he talks to the
I'm assuming a wizard
why don't wizards ever get a haircut
you know
take a shave
why can't you be a clean cut wizard
are you so busy
moving fucking mountains
you know
somebody get
one of those little toiletry bags
the straight razor
I was watching one of those things
and
I remember the fuck I was at
so I went on a plane
I watched a tv it's all running together at this point
my age the days fly by so quick
you can't even remember did I dream that
or did my neighbor say it
I can't even fucking remember but I was watching
one of those elf movies
and
the fucking lead dude
with the Karl Malden nose
and the spock ears
he found
he found a ring
now for some reason I thought the ring the lord of the rings
like if you had the rings I thought the rings were like
you know those magic rings that hacky magicians pull apart
I thought that they were that big
it looked like you found a wedding ring
I don't fucking know
anyways
so he said he was laughing every 30 seconds
he said I hope you're happy that
my enjoyment of the hobbit
was a casualty
on your war on nerds
I don't have a war on nerds I just
call them out on their shit
how arrogant is that
I just try to keep them honest
I do think that they should teach
nerds how to fight rather than trying to stop bullying
because you're not going to end bullying
you know
it's like I started watching the
the ultimate fighter
where they have these the women fighters now
and I'm telling when I watch
when I watch those women
fight I get like
like psyched for
going like I hope some pervert
tries to grab her ass
like I hope a rapist
like I would never wish that on any of them
but for the love of God the next time
a rapist tries to rape a woman
a woman
like if she has the fucking skills
that the women on the
the ultimate fighter I mean it's just going to be
it's just going to be a great day
for humanity
um
you got to see that show dude
these women like for the most part they
they spar with men because I don't think there's enough women in the sport
or whatever so these guys are
kind of half assing it and the women are going
like it's you know it's okay to hit me in the face
I'm just sitting there like
watching the guy fighter
still pulling his punches because it just goes
against everything
that you were taught
and everything that is just right in the world
to ball your fist up
and actually swing
and punch a woman is just like
I just don't think
Christmas would ever be the same after that
like it just would just be something
you just
you just would lose something
um but anyways
I mean they they like
I can tell you without a doubt
every woman on that
show would beat the
living shit out of me
I wouldn't have a prayer there's nothing you
can do once that that makes martial arts
you know if a woman like a woman boxer
you have a chance you can
out wear and you can just fucking
just shoot her legs
and fucking put her on her back and just smother her
with a pillow from the couch right you got a
shot but that UFC shit
you take it to the ground and then what then they're gonna
fucking put you in an arm bar
they're gonna choke you out it's gonna be over
so of course me
being a guy being a fucking
pig I of course got to look at them
in a sexual way and I'm like going like alright
how do you rock that girls
world in the
fucking bedroom and I don't mean the girly ones
I mean the fucking ones that are like
the one with the one who's a champion
the heavyweight champion or whatever
like I don't know what her name is
but that one I was just sitting there going
alright what would she like
in bed
that's gonna go she is gonna
go one way or the other
she is either exactly
what you think she is
you know
like the fucking Chicago Bears are exactly
what they were we let him off the hook
she's either exactly
what you think she's gonna be well she's gonna
be dominant in fucking
holding you down
slash scaring the shit out of you
wondering if she's gonna rip your dick off
or
I would actually bet
I don't know
if you went the other way
that she would actually be
submissive she'd be so sick
of beating the shit out of guys
down in the octagon that she would actually
almost like one of those fucking
Wall Street guys
that's calling all the shots
and then it just gets so fucking sick
of dominating the entire
fucking planet
that late at night goes to one of those
S&M things and gets on a swing with one of those
orange balls in his mouth
I don't fucking know but that's the shit I think
of when I watch that show you should definitely
watch The Ultimate Fighter
dude they had this woman
she looked like a fucking librarian
or you know
this nerd she lost
but I just thought it was fucking awesome
just looking at her going like look at that woman
you would have no clue
you'd have no clue that you know
if you talk some shit to her that she would
just start raining elbows down on you
I just think it's amazing
it's really fucking amazing anyways let's
get on with the
so I guess I ruined the podcast for this guy
I gotta read the last paragraph here
he says
also it might be a good idea
to watch the movie and record your reactions
oh dude I can't sit through
that shit
it's too fucking long he goes there's a scene
where a wizard called
Radigast
Radigast the brown
is being chased by
wargs, big wolves
riding a sleigh pulled by
bunny rabbits
dude this movie like
I would think that more
people who were into hallucinogens
would actually watch this movie because that
actually sounds pretty amazing
he says Gandalf goes
you can't outrun these wargs
they are vermilion
wargs
the other wizard actually responds
there are
oh these are
and then he says in parenthesis
some corny fantasy place rabbits
I'd like to see them try
oh so he goes
you can't outrun the war these wargs
they are vermilion wargs and he said
well these are lilaputian rabbits
I'd like to see them try
that's actual fucking dialogue
he goes and then they actually zoom in
on his face with the look
of pseudo badass determination
you know what dude
I think I'm gonna watch that movie
I think I'll eat up like a fucking pot cookie
maybe I'll watch it I don't wanna do that though
I don't wanna put that on YouTube
me fucking high
giggling like a fucking school girl
watching some wizard on a fucking rabbit
I don't wanna do that
publicly
carry underwood
she's a singer right
he said I recently listened to your podcast
or is that one of those guys
with a woman name
you know like that Shamar guy
what the fuck his name is
does the hair products
doesn't he
he goes I recently listened to your podcast
concerning the song Before He Cheats
by carry underwood
very funny by the way
you might be interested to know how she has a new song
she has a new song out
that takes that theme to a completely new level
in the song Two Black Cadillacs
a woman discovers her husband
is cheating on her
apparently the mistress didn't realize he was married
because she and the wife collaborate
on murdering the guy
not just destroying his truck
and humiliating him
in front of a new girl
they end the guy's life
here are a few lines from the end of the song
alright it says
yeah they took turns
laying a rose down
through a handful of dirt
deep into the ground
he's not the only one
who had a secret to hide
so I'm thinking about writing my own country
song the title might be something like
cold dinner raw knuckles
yeah well you know
that's one of those double standards that
you understand why it exists
you know it's not like
women go around killing guys all the fucking time
when it really comes to violence guys do it
more to women than the other way around
and uh
it's one of the things that makes it
being a guy funny
because if a woman actually like
to the point of like cutting
your dick cut off by a woman like it's just considered funny
like well dude she cut your dick off
like other guys just think it's hilarious
we're not gonna wear pink
you know for all the guys who got their
dicks fucking sliced off
and thrown in a garbage disposal well not
we're just gonna laugh at you
um
whatever you know what I really hear that
I really don't hear that as an anti-man thing
I hear somebody who's struggling to find a follow-up hit
and is going back to the well
possibly won too many times but then again
I listened to AC DC
and they had like three or four themes that they
have been doing
for 40 years and I think they sound better
better than ever right
they sing about their balls the devil
women
in electricity
and it's work for them so good for her
good for her
maybe next one will be like uh the guy
comes back like a zombie
and she has a relationship with a zombie
and then he cheats on her
and then I don't know what she does
however you kill a fucking zombie
and they have to watch Lord of the Rings to figure that one out
um advice on having a baby
she had a baby man she had a baby
advice on having a baby
hey Bill I need some advice
you're talking to me I what the fuck
I'm nowhere near that
he said my wife and I are both 27 years old
she's a graduate from college
and working I'm getting a master's
degree and will not be done for another
two and a half years the issue
is she is getting to the point where she wants to
have a baby not now but
some but sometime right after
I graduate I on the other hand
am not wanting a baby
anytime soon but
no but by the time I
graduate I will have been in college
for nearly eight years
after I graduate my wife and I will have
a dual income of well over a hundred
grand a year I grew up in a family
in a fairly poor family I worked
hard to get my schooling so I want
to enjoy the rewards I want
a nice apartment nice things
and to travel the world if we just start
having kids we won't be able to travel
and if we just have
kids right after I graduate I'll go from a
life of stress from school to a life
of stress from parenthood but I understand
my wife's concern
if we wait until we are 33 or 34 to start
having kids we could have some trouble
conceiving and if it takes
us too long she could
give birth to mentally challenged child
which does run in my
family Jesus Christ dude this is one of
the more serious ones I love
my wife and plan on being with her
the rest of my life it's
just a shame that my goals are to travel
and have nice things and her goals are to start
a family so what do you think
Bill any advice that's some pretty heavy
shit there
well I don't understand why
when you're
you're
going to school right now
that you guys can't
save up a little bit of money and go to
Aruba for a few days you can do little
mini ones you know what I mean
I think there's a way
to kind of do both
and I think
if you express all your concerns to your wife
and just say look
I don't want to be that couple that just goes from
school to having kids and then once
we have kids all we do is just
do the kid thing
I don't know dude
I don't know what to tell you here
fuck
I definitely understand
I mean you went from a life of poverty
right to a life of school and then you're going to go
right to a life of being a parent when do you
actually get to sit back
and enjoy a nice flat screen TV watching
some sports or maybe go
travel in Europe or something like that
look dude you could do this
you could have a kid
I don't know how close you are with
you know the parents on either side
I think you can have your cake and eat it
why don't you just have a fucking kid
and then also save up
for a fucking
epic ten day trip somewhere
through
through Europe and then just
make a pact with your wife and just say listen
once every two years
or once every whatever
I want to
I want to go on a trip
and we'll leave the kid behind
or the kids behind
my parents did that they went to Vegas
and my grandparents came to town
it was great we ended up developing a relationship
with our grandparents it was a good thing
and it was also good
socially
it was good for us as kids to have a different
sort of disciplinary dynamic
Jesus Christ I remember I tested my grandmother
too and she broke a fucking wooden spoon
would have been over my head but I got my arm
up and I blocked it I kept messing
I saw her the way we
we were renting this we lived
in a duplex when I was a kid
for a certain number of years and
the way we had it set up
was
it went kitchen
living room and then dining room
so you had to walk through the living room
we kind of altered the living room and kitchen
trying to figure out which was best
and this was
just a period where there was
it went kitchen and then we had
the living room and then we were using
the other room as a dining room
so anyways there was this old shitty
rug and there was a hole in it
so my mother had put a throw rug over
the hole on the floor so I saw
my grandmother walk by
through the living room and she was setting the table
and she saw
the throw rug was messed up
and I just heard her mumble to herself
she said now why does this keep getting
messed up
so
she walked into the kitchen and that was
literally my cue she straightened out
walked into the kitchen so I said alright
so I got off the couch and I messed it up and went over
and I went back and I sat down so then
she comes walking out with the dishes
or the food and she sees it again
she goes now what just happened
I just straightened this out
so she straightens it out
and then she walks back into the kitchen
and I got up and I messed it up again
she came third time sees it again
and she doesn't fucking say anything
which should have been a warning to me
so she straightened it out
and then she walked into the kitchen
and turned the corner
and I got back up again to go mess it up
and right as I'm grabbing it to mess it up
I hear this stomp
and she took a quick step back
and looked back out right in the middle of it
saw me messing it up
she had this wooden spoon in her hand
and just came fucking
flying at me
like if it was an axe I wouldn't be here
if it was a hatchet I would have been dead
she gave me like Billy Bob when she fucking
when he kills that country singer right
came flying at me I just remember crouching down
and putting my arm up
and it fucking snapped in half
over my forearm
she had this look of anger on her face
slammed it down snapped it over my arm
and then she just after it snapped
went wow that's the end of that spoon
and then she just walked back out into the kitchen
and that was it
so I think that's a good thing
if they stay with their grandparents
I think you can do both
I think as a couple if you really sit down
and you say what's important to you
you know
and this is very easy for me to say
not having a child
and having it completely consume your life
who knows your priorities might change
or whatever
there's something to say too that if you start early
I mean if you started now
your 27 your kid would be 18
when you're 45 my age right now
and then you can travel
you know
45 kids out of college
by the time you're 49
then you have your golden years 50, 60, 70s, 80s
depending on how if you eat right
and your juice
you can live right up to fucking 90
and you can go see the goddamn world
but there's no reason why you can't do that right now
even though that you're in school
there's no reason why you can't go to Puerto Rico
or go to Hawaii
there's some beautiful cities up in Canada
you know
Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal is fucking tremendous
there's all beautiful cities here in the states
there's all kinds of things that you can do
and you can do them really cheaply
when you don't have any kids
dude literally just backpack it
just put a backpack on stay in fucking hostels
who gives a fuck
you know
just go I would just say go and do it
I would just
yeah do it now do it now
but I think you can do both
and I also say everybody I know
who's ever had a kid has never regretted it
never ever regretted it
so
you know but I think
it's also important that if you do something like that
to not lose yourself and all of it
alright there I've said my piece
alright continuing on here

alright alcohol
problem hey Bill
I love the podcast
anyways I am 25
year old male and I'm starting to come
to terms with the fact I have an alcohol
problem I drink six days a week
and black out at least once a week
alright well
the only saving grace you have is your
25 so
you might just be a little immature
I don't know if you're an actual alcoholic
but let me read the rest of this
says I drink six days a week
the nights I get really drunk
I really regret doing it
and regret my actions
just phone or text conversations
I have with people
I've considered going to AA
but never have gone through with it
I finally quit smoking two months ago
and I'm worried if I try to quit drinking
now I will start going crazy
I know you have always mentioned
you are stupid but I honestly agree
with most of the advice you give out
well thank you
my question is do you think I should try
and quit cold turkey
or are there any other options I can take
that concerns with quitting completely
is that most of my friends drink
and go out on weekends
and I don't want to risk losing
all of my social life
and seeing
me friends
get all Irish there and seeing me friends
appreciate the advice
alright dude
all I can do is just tell you
what has worked for me
when I'm not drinking
and
the first two three days
are brutal
because all you've gone is two three days
and there's definitely that feeling of
well if I drink now I can start over again
I'm just trying to make up three days
but if you can get through the first two three days
once you get to the fourth day
it's like alright I got a nice little streak going here
like I'm up to six days right now
and
one of the hardest things to do
is when you go out socially with people
but
all you have to do
all I have to do because I don't know how to do
if you're a full on alcoholic
and you have the disease it might be
harder for you and you really should probably
I would say talk to a recovered alcoholic
but if you're like me
all it takes
is going out to the bar that first time
when everybody's drinking
and you just order a
I try to stay away from soda
and club soda because then
I mean that shit's not good for either
you just order the cranberry juice
and deal with the departed
well what are your period jokes that everybody does
I usually just go
I don't even do cranberry and soda
I just do cranberry juice straight up with a lime
and I just sort of nurse that
and then
I just kind of drink waters
and
you just got to do that that one night
and then you've kind of set up
a new social experience
that you're comfortable with
and I gotta tell you
you get a distinct advantage
when you're sober and everybody else
is basically getting fucked up because
they're kind of
first of all it's really entertaining
to watch people just sort of
roofy themselves
and you get through watching their behavior
you get to see all the dumb things
that you've done
so you get to
without judging your friends you just sort of
get to be like wow I was doing that
especially with alcohol
I always say judgment is the first thing to go
and
I don't know I think you also have a better chance
of meeting
a really nice woman
if you're the sober one because you're going to come off
as responsible
and also if your friends are also hitting on her
and they're all sloppy drunk
you're going to look even better yourself
so I would
you know if you're not
feeling AA which I understand
just try
what it is I don't know
I have to replace the activity
like
this week I decided
that I was going to stop drinking
so then what I did was I dove in
to play in drums
and I'm doing that
that Mike Johnston 10 days to faster hands
workout so I just sort of
replace
you know
like at night
I just sort of like okay I'll go downstairs
and I'll do the practice pad thing
and
you know I started working out
he just
you know what it is dude
you gotta replace
the time that you're drinking
and doing dumb shit
with shit that's also fun but you're sober doing it
because
for me it's like if I just don't drink
and I'm just sitting around
doing nothing that's going to make me want to drink
because it's just like well I usually go out and drink
and have fun right now
but if I'm actually doing something else
I went out and I saw
a movie last night
you fill up the time
dude learn how to cook
you learn a fucking second language
there's all kinds of things dude
basically you're in your 20s right now
and
you're trying to appeal to the opposite sex here
so if you can add some shit to your game
you're going to move up in the draft
you're going to get a better woman here
if you're fucking bilingual what woman doesn't like that
if you're sober and responsible
she's going to like that
who knows you learn to play a couple of songs on a flamenco guitar
you take it around on a fucking rowboat
you're in there
nothing bad comes from becoming sober
other than you are
bored shitless but your head gets
smaller because you drop all that booze way
I'm telling you you won't regret it
you definitely won't regret it
but like I said if you got the disease
and that thing you might you're going to need more professional help
and I would actually seek out a fellow
alcoholic
and then I would use AA
and all of that shit
you know
I don't know I'm just a control freak
and I don't like people telling me what to do so I would have to use it
in a way that worked for me
I'm not going to be standing down there smoking cigarettes
eating donuts
talking to those people with their yellow fingers and shit
like I couldn't do it that way
I got buddies of mine
they go every once in a while they go to a meeting
you know
like the way I go to church every once in a fucking once a year
they'll do it but whatever works for you
but nothing bad ever comes from
cleaning up your act
so
I hope that helps you
alright okay that's the podcast
for this week everybody
um
I'm off the road again this week

hey
she's out like a light
um
I'm boring her with my podcast alright that's it
alright everybody go fuck yourselves
I'll talk to you next week and uh
if you haven't watched the world series yet
it's a dandy two games a piece
one more game in St. Louis oh you know
what I didn't talk about
I know that the world series
has always been two three two
I always feel like
I always just feel like the three in the middle
what would you rather have
if you were managing the team
would you I just feel like
the advantage goes to the team with the lesser record
with those three in the middle
even though overall four out of seven
games
you're going to be on the road
I just feel like the way it's broken
up you just sort of spend
a weekend in Boston
and then you host a homestand
right
you got three straight games
you can sleep in your own bed, eat your own food
fucking chill out and then if need be
you go back and you deal
with another weekend they break it up nicely
um
and I feel like
the two three two it just gives the team with the lesser record
home field advantage to the first
five games it makes games one and two
must win for the team with the better record
but uh
I don't know maybe that's just me
my anxiety as a fan
and maybe professional athletes could
they don't give a shit but I've always
found that weird
like I liked when the NBA used to do two two
one one one
um it seemed fair
but I think the athletes didn't like to travel
you know they got to lug all that TV equipment
I don't know they just just wanted
to make it up alright so that's the deal
everybody that's the podcast file for this
week go fuck yourselves I'll talk to you next week
goodbye
that's
you
well
you
you
