Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byrd. It's time for the Thursday afternoon just before Friday, and I'm up just for Monday
Morning podcast. I almost got myself confused there. Maybe because I'm excited about my guest. I'm just checking in on you
I have an amazingly backlit guest this week
Yeah, yeah, there's all kinds of stuff from echo brain and some other band you might have heard of Metallica
The one and only Jason Newstead. What's going on, man?
Bill Byrd. It's good to see your face. Thanks for having me, bud. Yeah, it's good to see I haven't seen you since I think
San Francisco. No, was it San Francisco? Yeah, I think my boys came down from the chop house and we hung out with you
And went out to dinner and stuff at a time. That's right. That's okay. I wasn't sure that one weird time
I ran into you in Paris
Oh that on your birthday and you're turned your 50th birthday
And you bought me some drinks. You were very nice. Yeah, and you weren't really drinking then
But you still got convinced to do it and you and Mia came over and met us at that club real late
Yeah, thanks and stuff. It was fun. That was right before I
Quit drinking that was June. I quit drinking in November. Yeah, I haven't drank since and I'm not gonna lie to you
I miss it. Yeah, being sober sucks. It's good
It's good for the kids, but dude, yeah, I'm sure they can take in life in the face every day
Yeah, and not being able to just be like, you know what I'm gonna alter my experience. It's like nope
I just have to sit here
Sit here and take it but that's not why we're talking today. We're talking today because I can't believe this
This is making me old as hell
It is we're coming up on or I think it might have just happened the 30th anniversary of
The release of the Metallica
Self-titled is it black album people called like I was just called Metallica, right? Right. Yeah, just mm-hmm, right? Yeah
30 years man, you know, I was looking at then that's on all the all-time lists
That's like one of those back in black Michael Jackson thriller Eagles greatest hits. It just never
Goes off the charts
Truly well when you were making it did you when you guys are making I know these are old questions
But when you were making that thing going from injustice for all, you know, and then to that
You know, were you sitting there going like a living in a vixx mistake here? Is this like
You know because there was hundreds of shows in between that time right between we released justice
And we got around to making the black album hundreds of shows
All around the world 40 or something countries and doing our thing and really building the following
That was the big time to build the following because justice hit so successfully
Yeah, and one by one and back beef that was before an inner tube or any of that stuff
So we had one person at a time take the music to the people in the flesh
The way it should be no screens in between us and them just the direct connection the real I know I hate that
Yeah, you do that at sporting events and like take get rid of the class clown in your section because everybody's staring
at the
At the screen so I feel fortunate
I feel really fortunate to have been a part of that thing as we were spearheading
You know and go into a lot of places that made in an AC DC it already been
But they really paved the path or at least cut the jungle down for us to get to the next place
You know what I'm saying? We really did that after them
We got to give credit as things go chronologically, but they really did it, but what was your big like?
Place that either you you
Always wanted to play or all sudden one night you were there and you never even dreamed to play in there because it was so big
Did you have any of those? I think early on man the Rose Bowl when we did Monsters of Rock in
1988 right with Van Halen headliners. It's okay Bill goes Van Halen
scorpions
Dockin Metallica Kingdom come from from the top down
So we're on we go on after Kingdom come at three o'clock in the afternoon
It's 112 in the fucking shade
You know and there's already
60,000 people inside the bowl and the thing as soon as we came on it flushed like a turlet man
Everybody came down from the seats onto the floor and then lit took all the seats off the floor and threw them up at the
They passed them over their heads in bunches we had to stop in the middle of whiplash and
Throw up all the chairs to get down
There was a giant pile behind the stage like a pyre you know getting ready to burn this big pile of all those metal chairs
But they would come up in sections of four and you'd see them fly over people's heads and people get knocked and try to catch
him in that and then it's overwhelming all the guards in between the stage and the in the you know the guard there man
So finally we're standing standing back and watching the crowd do this they get done
They give us the green light again. We go right back out and whatever it was third verse of whiplash one two three
What were we left off and and and so they had by that time cleared the space for them to do what they wanted to do
So there was 60,000 whatever it would have been on the floor maybe 50,000 on the floor on the field as it were and
Pits were six or eight hundred people at a time five or six pits across the whole field just just madness
It was being invented and pioneered you know and what what what kind of was it scary?
Was it amazing like what do what are you thinking when you're standing there?
You're worried like oh no our fans are destroying this is this going to affect future shows
So you just sort of standing there like a bystander. How do you keep playing the song while you're watching that staying focused?
Like is that chair coming at me? Right? There's a thing so you know how the term you head has to be on a swivel
You know and there's with with police officers or football players hockey players wrestlers
I mean anybody I mean anybody in life right? You're driving had got to be on a swivel
Well, it's like that to the oomph
You know like you're you got because you the main thing about playing successfully in an ensemble is knowing what's coming next
You know, you got to know there and then that's the verse and where you are and boom boom boom
You do 30 songs over two and a half hours and they all got to be just like that and not miss a fucking note
You know, you got to know what's coming. So that's all going on as your
Demand or whatever your role and then you got all this other shit happening. Hey, there's some boobs. Hey, there's some blood
Hey, there's some bones point sticking out
So you really got to keep your mind in the game, dude. Yeah a lot while you're playing an odd time
So much of that album was at least it could have been in four four
Sure. Yeah, man, and you got to get you got to really be paying attention there
And there's only a few times really that we ever stop stop the show and usually that was when one of us was harmed
That's unreal. Well, I got to tell you something about your that the the Metallica album is
There's certain albums that ever since the 80s in the 90s when I was going to the gym
Or if I was sitting down playing at a kit or whatever
You could just hit play from the beginning and go all the way to the end and it would get you through your workout
It'd get you through your drive. You didn't have to you know, make a playlist
Mm-hmm, and it was literally like AC DC back in black, you know appetite and your album
it was just one of those things that was the perfect level of I
Don't know what I don't know like I guess what fat I fascinates me
You know when you said you wanted to do this and I started looking
At the albums that were on that list and you start thinking like what is it about those things and I know that
Musicians probably sit there and they look at those lists and think we need to obviously, you know
Who doesn't want to write an album like that? Is there
Is there a way to go for that or is it just magically happen you like oh shit, it's still selling ten years later
It's still on the charts and like
Like many elements, you know, first of all, we're gonna give credit to Lars for being so into I mean
absorbed
engulfed in the whole thing and the sequencing of the record and a
Sequencing of all the metallic albums as they've come out and the sequence sequencing has become more
Developing better and better like the second song has to be that in the seventh song has to be that and so and so and that's why it's
Appealing like you're talking about and listenable in that way because of his meticulous
You know tension paid to that and it's still to this day
He is that guy and so that credit should be there first
And going back to what was like did we know was happening when it was happening
We had a lot of momentum built up and like we were mentioning before those hundreds of shows and stuff and building the fan base
And just being so successful and kind of building building building on that
We knew there was a lot at stake and sort of the powers that be and management and so forth and everybody threw a whole bunch of
Money into it
So we know that when that much money is invested that there's something a big chance of something really happening because people are gonna put
All the puzzle pieces in place and set us up for success
If we're able to knock that shit down show by show and make people want to come back and wanting more then we do our part
We knew that everybody else and their roles and all those roles that there are we you're very familiar with in your business
So many different people from the guy that sells the record to the guy that helps us make the record the crew guys
Everybody in between all those people doing their job to the right best of their ability to make it successful
So all those elements got to kind of line up for that part of the set side of it to come up with the product
And be ready to present the product then you have to have the thing about the demographic
And like you're speaking of the albums that came like black back back in black was 1980, right?
So you you were talking about records that came in 1991. There was appetite and in
A Soundgarden record in Nirvana and Metallica appetite was 87
Okay, so 87 and then the and the big year that came up was didn't
Guns and roses do their other double record and Nirvana Soundgarden
Yeah, at least in three months James had there they had that ritual
In 1990 but for me, that's the all the ones that that's
As far as that new
Sort of cuz I didn't consider them like grunge or whatever like just that album is another one
That I feel just like you just put it on you hit play and then like you know
What anytime I have like music is play such a huge part of my life anytime especially, you know
I got a drive I got to get through or a flight
I want to get through and I don't want to have to keep looking down. So there's those albums that you just
Keep going back to but I'm almost condo almost part of your conditioning in a way
You know what I mean, you know, you can rely on something in that way and you go back to it
There's a lot of things you can't so that that kind of mentality. I think that yeah
You go back to where you were what car you would yeah sure. Oh, dude, man
You'd always like the what I call the memory money, you know, I don't want to say like there's certain bands of style
Now they're nostalgia acts they're called. Yeah, but there's certain bands if you're around long enough
30 years is the mark that I would usually call maybe it could be 25
They're able to play for generation after generation
There's a few generations coming to see your your band, you know, so that's always a big secret
Not a secret necessarily but some part of the success. That's a really important
Key that people coming keep coming back to it
But someone I touched on really important like you were saying there in in your business
If you're with your efforts for family stuff with the other things you've done through time with your your comedy
Slugging it out five nights a week doing your shows like we do our shows
Any one in show business or an author or something like that? You've got to find your audience. That's it
That's the one number one thing then everything else can happen after that
But you gotta how do you because how I ended up finding my audience
Was not caring about getting an audience and just more just like doing what I wanted to do
Yeah, and just being more like all right. This is what I
Do you like it or you don't and I'm just gonna keep doing this until enough people like it that I can fill up
whatever wherever the heck I'm going and
The hard part of my career
Was early on when I was like, what do they want? What are you looking for?
And I was almost like in the crowd looking at me and I'll this is the shirt you want to wear
This is this is what the industry is buying right now
And I always tell like younger comics about that going like, you know, it's sort of the short game
And it's also the greatest way to get outside of what you have to say because you're not you anymore
You're almost doing like like an acting job and I always want to put like guys like you
The band that you were in like, you know, that stuff was you know, really
I mean it was it was you know, it was as much as they were talking about metal
It was really hair metal, which was really just pop music. Yeah
So much of that and what you guys did
I mean, I'll be honest like what you guys did was too hard for me until the metallic and my brothers were into that
Shit go come on man. You got to learn how to play double bass
And I'm like, I like the bottom shit and they were mad at him get a double pedal and I wouldn't do it
And I missed out on all of you guys. I didn't see all you guys until the 2000s
But then that was the album then I worked my way back
You know through Metallica's like
Catalog but I always wondered like
you know
Or I gotta say I'm envious of when you sit there you say, you know, you got to go out and get the crowd like as a comic
It's it's a fun feeling to turn a crowd around and get them into you. But I I was always wondering
You know what that was like as a band that is a group you're like a platoon like we're gonna take this hill
And you get that that enjoyment like
Uh afterwards like, you know, if I if I went a crowd over I could come off stage. It's it's like a
It's just me
I don't get to go over to somebody else like, you know, I don't have that moment in the show where somebody else in the
Band looks at me like fuck this
We're getting these guys. I remember he was hearing a story one time of uh
I think Simon Wright when he was playing for acdc at nights when
You know, they were kind of tired. He said he would look up and Angus would just be looking at him
Like, come on man. Let's do this and I was I got like I got literally like a rush of adrenaline
He mentioned trying to keep up with the angus dude
I know
Oh, jeez. You know, he used to have like it looked like a like he was standing in a shower like he would be playing
It would just be no no doubt
pouring off his uh his um
His forums so what what exactly like what is the packaging? Is there a special packaging here for the 30th anniversary as far as like
um
What we're promoting here today
Oh, well, yeah, they they did the black box thing and it had all kinds of I mean, there's so much archives
You know, we recorded everything and proper cameras and proper through all of time and photograph everything
There's so much to dig from and once again new back to lars. He's so good at their archiving archiving of things
That helps out a lot when they're digging for that. So there's a lot of cool things there
Um, I did want to touch on what you're talking about there though. I think it's important
The difference between being in an ensemble or being on your own, you know, it's like, uh, the best
Athlete so jordan
Who gets the ball when there's three seconds left the dude that can fucking shoot and has the highest percentage
So, you know, if he misses is like he's hanging to said
If he if he hits it, he's the king of the world
And so when you know, when you're by when you're by yourself and doing your own thing
If the show don't go so great
Then you're the one that has to take that brunt and if it goes great
You take the glory and the shine and then it pats on the back when it's the team
You know, the team takes the hit and the team takes the glory
So it's if you share you share in the anguish and or the pride
What's the biggest, uh
triumph
You've had as a musician as far as like like that. You're uh, I mean, I don't act like, you know
You know, every year you have like that show, we're like, oh man, that was the that was the one
But what what are some of the ones that stand out
During the different phases, you know echo brain metallica all of that stuff like what uh
What are some of the ones that if you're sitting on your back porch, you just think of like man
I was I was fucking good that night
Or that or once again, you're that they have the individual one or the team one, you know
And I think I probably remember team ones more than I remember individual performances
So the ones that have been glorified over time and sensationalized like the big russian shows and that stuff
Unforgettable, of course quite well documented, but there's other ones that are personally huge
For us as a unit
Day on the green in oakland
October 12 of 91
Okay, that was bill Graham's last proper show that he put on period
That's a big goddamn deal in the bay area, man
You know he took he took a chance on metallica back in 82 34 or whatever that was, you know
And then they came back home to headline that thing after we've been on the road for the black album a couple months
We just started firing on all cylinders
MTV came there with 19 freaking cameras and did their thing and recorded it nice and it sounded so killer on the tv
And I remember playing a big olympic six string bass with it
You know the string on the top big as brown as your fucking finger like big old telephone cable on that fucking right
But tuned down for sad, but true. So it goes
And just taking people's freaking fillings out man
You can see their sternums, you know, like come flying up onto the stage
They're standing next to the base bins in the front right just getting destroyed
And we we were we were hitting right then was such precision and the
Momentum and like the what do you call it? We're levitating as in a way, you know, there was so
Much success and every day there was another report on how how much radio was playing nothing else matters
Or some of these things that we had never ever experienced as far as exposure for our kind of music, you know
So there's what was that like how how excited did the
um
The james and all like I with with all of those guys where they
Excite like it just seems like a lot of times when I just watch stuff about that band
It just seems like it's work work work work work work work. I was wondering if they ever
Picked their head up and were like, hey, man
Look what we did here. This is this is amazing
I'm not uh, not a lot of time
To look up and say look what you did or the accomplishment
It took a while till after everything settled and you can look back at it
But as it's happening the days were very long and very demanding
And so, you know that you just can't imagine like yeah, man
You learn how to play bass you spent all that time learning how to play drums
You took that time now you can go up and you remember stuff together and rock some shit
Okay, now all of a sudden that where it used to fill up 97 of the demand
Now that's about that much over here. You know, you still got to keep your chops together, right?
But the other 45 percent is filled up with
Videos and
Interviews and the things and the things and the things and all the things that you never you knew about some some of it
But some there's no way to predict at all because once again
It was kind of being invented in a certain way for this style and stuff. So we were taking the
Once again, how did you keep you out your?
You know
Your wits about you because I can get pretty grumpy
When when it gets to the point of like guys like I the number one thing I'm here for is to do a fucking show
These people paid all of this money
And I need to I need to destroy tonight and if I'm going to be you know going here and then going there and then do a quick thing here and
You know nowadays the big thing is you know, can you make a video?
Can you make a video say it?
You know now that you tweeted it your instagram did you did all of that shit?
Can you then make a video on top of that just to like?
It's like you're signing everything in triple kit except it's like like content
um
Like those are the days where you know, I you know
I don't know. I I really just go like what the fuck man. I'm
It's almost better when no one knew who I was I could just sit in the
The condo and stare at the wall and think about jokes
That's true. I I feel that very much and in that time. I think we all probably did
It was there was so much going on though
And such a schedule and so many shows coming in at being added on each time some new country
Put us on their radio that never would play heavy music before so all of a sudden their
Government or whatever invites us to play see if it's an Islamic nation or something like that
And they wouldn't let white westernized music in there the white devils in and all of a sudden
They know that they can make a whole bunch of money of us though
They invite us anyway type of stuff things start happening like that, you know
And nobody wants to be the link
You know, nobody wants to be the weak one on the stage
Everybody has their own way to keep you keep yourself up
You're asking like how to keep your shit together because it's it's not just one person trying to keep your thing
You got to remember your jokes remember your program and stuff. It's elbow to elbow plane train automobile
um a lot of a lot of
Substances and a lot of crazy shit going on and all the other things that that make the stories
You know, but a lot of the behind the scenes that don't make the stories
Also, well, you really got to be patient with each other because you know what's at stake
So an awful lot there to because it's really can't blow up the band
Yeah, and you want and you want everything to keep going as it is because that's what I'm working so hard for
Is the success attention the reason we do what we do bill is to show off, right? Come on now

That's it everybody. Uh, I have a wonderful holiday season
As we move into Thanksgiving
Hey, it's something um
You know remember when you were back in school when you were a kid and you had your first base
And you remember like not paying attention in class because all you were doing was thinking about going home and playing your base
You know for me that was like drums or going out and playing sports or some shit
and um
There were a couple of times
You know where out here I was gonna sit in with the band
And then there was like rehearsal and everything and I was sudden like my drums
became like work
Like ah, fuck I gotta go down there and we gotta do this three times and it starts to become that I was wanting during that touring
Like it was there any sort of ritual you did with you and your base to keep
The excitement it's like it's almost like when a comedian when you're sick of all your jokes
And you go up there like oh like oh my god if I have to hear my fucking voice saying this stupid idea
How are these people still laughing at this like to play?
You know like you guys were playing, you know
300 friggin shows a year
Like how did you keep the excitement of like still feeling like you know?
It was like magic having an instrument was magic when you were a kid
Sure first plugging in and hearing that how do you stay connected with that?
And it doesn't become like time to make the doughnuts
Thinking about like what if I just moved into a win a bago and just kept all this tour money and I never
I just smoked weed and I played bass in the back of my fucking win a bago. Wow. That's a good thought. Um
there are definitely times that uh
How many
takes you did of inner sandmen during a week?
Because of the american music awards and the top of the pops and the thing the thing and then the regular shows too
um, you know trying to stay on top of it. You still feel good and strong about
Executing it at presenting to the people
So it has a lot to do with the adrenaline flow where everything could get pretty numb
Your leg could be broken and you're still going to go and play because the jam is on
Once the intro tape once the intro tape comes on
And that should do that. It's adrenaline dude. Everything is lit up. I I could I could you know
What what two marathons would you like me to run right now?
You know, it's very much that I think so it kind of becomes a huge pain reliever and a numbing device
And then there's always the favorite songs. There's still a few
That come along every third song or whatever that are such a challenge to play
No matter how many thousands of times you played them
Right, just like you've got to be on your toes and it's a thing where
Fuck man. I can do this. It's like an athlete very much like an athlete. So you're you're in the moment
Yes, yes
Yeah, not hard to not hard to rise to it not hard to rise to it. What are your uh,
What were some of your favorites the the ones that you were like? Oh, shit. This is coming next
I love this one battery is always it
Okay, so if even if we play fight fire
And that but battery is still it because of the background vocal and because I matched every fucking thing that the guitars are playing on bass
All of it yeah, the steve harris the steve harris the lustre with the pick with the pick thing
You know instead and following james and all that kind of stuff, which yeah that that's uh
The pride of the execution and being able not to miss anything on such a challenging number
Is like a little shiny part of the crown, you know, nice
I actually you know, but I got back and I went on a a clive bur
Yeah, you know high hats an adventure spun down just listening to him and like, uh
Really just like I I'm kind of like I love iron maiden and I and I love both drummers
And I love that the band sounds different
You can hear the difference in both of them, which because they have like these strong personalities
So I was listening to that and I for the first time I always knew steve harris was amazing
But that was the first time I just was really listening and it was like
Listening to all of those bass likes it was never playing off
For the most part what the guitar was doing. It was like, what are you doing?
All right, I'm doing that too and I'm just gonna add and it's just added this this density
you know, uh to what they were doing and and um
I
I don't know just something about you bringing up battery of having to do that
I never thought about that like if you you're playing with your fingers you can
Go faster and if you if you got like the pick
And then you got those those telephone cables as you say that you got to keep up with that. So how did that like?
Uh, I don't know. How do you even like like the first time you're playing that live?
You you got to be going like, okay
Here it is stay relaxed
You wouldn't be here if you couldn't do it
Yeah, that's right, right only 80,000 people
Yeah, it's only being filmed
I get what you're saying try not to think too much about that. I guess but um,
You know how you maybe want to have
The end of your show as strong as the beginning of your show certain jokes that you know are going to be at home run
Yes, and you put in your so you finish as strong as you started
That was always one of my inner mantras as it were
To be as strong at the end for the last 10 minutes as I was for the first 10
And so pacing yourself through the songs and once again large the sequencing live helped with that
Um, but battery was usually at the very end
And so I had to save up that last bit like I leave every single bit on the stage
Every single bit I got like you talk about angus with the flow of sweat
Yeah, I will I will put up a competitive
Atten the ring or whatever like that if in that in that situation for the that particular thing for sure
What do you think would be harder to to start with it or
Because to start with it your ice cold
Kind of yep, and you got to play at that speed
There's a chance you would like tense up or is it harder, you know to play down
How long you guys play a couple hours and then all of a sudden it's like all right now that we've done this full
Workout in a half now you're gonna sprint
Mm-hmm, you know the last seven miles right and it always changed too
You know a lot of time for the early years it would always start with creeping death a lot and those kind of things
It was kind of a mid tempo wish uh bombastic deal
Um, but then sometimes it would start with black and or something
So you had to be right right from the get go right out of the gate
Oh
You know so there's I think starting mid tempo and by the second or third song you're kicking fast. That's cool
You know but when lars put the when lars sorry
When lars put together those sets, are there scheduled breaks like hey, let's give her forums a break and play like
Nothing else matters
That's just gotta
Slow it down here everybody, you know work the kinks out and then we'll start thrashing again
Yeah, I think it was centered around uh, james's vocal thing and being able to give him a rest for certain songs and stuff
So a bass solo
Guitar solo these things where he could go and sit for a minute or I would take a vocal for four minutes song or five minutes song
And then he'd be able to get that seven minutes of rest in his throat there and nine minutes rest in his throat there
So if he had three or four of those through the set he could make it through no problem
But it was always based around the vocal and keeping that athleticism, you know keeping it fresh and stuff
Yeah, and that's what I think too. Like I always hate when people will say, oh, you know, we can't hit those notes anymore
It's like you you can't hit nobody can hit the notes anymore
It's just like your voice naturally gets lower and this guy is singing live. I'm not saying people say that about james
I'm just saying I'm talking about like singers like robert plant used to get shit for that
Sure, and it's like he doesn't sound like he does in the album
It's like dude the guy's doing like 200. He's doing the immigrants on 200 shows a year right
You know, it's like, you know cut the guy a little bit of uh
A little bit of slack
But um, yeah and the track that you're listening to from the immigrant song original recording. He was 22 or some shit
You know what I mean?
So maybe he had all that gold in there and then way before
Whatever abuse and the other things that went down and I think
You know the the charisma and the years and the thing and the age and the voice for
Someone like Robert plant now is even more beautiful and attractive and appealing and cool to listen to
I also like that. He just aged naturally. Yes, dude. You know what I mean?
He looks fucking great. Like that's a big thing with me. Like, you know, I'm vain. I try to keep myself in shape
but
Uh, you know in this business, you know, I think one of your big goals is to try to look like a human being when you come out
the other side
No doubt as opposed to uh
Some of the shit that I've uh
Yeah, some of the stuff that you see you're like, oh my god, they get like that cat face
You know what I mean? It's like you try to look like a lion like they get all this filler
in here and they
I don't even know. They almost they're creating like a new race the botox race. Oh my god. Holy
Yeah, and so, you know, those uh of our pals you and me both that
Really went for the accelerated lifestyle
approach
And now that there the calendar says the same thing for them, but the flesh don't
You know, it's like, uh, oh boy
There's something, you know, there's something to be said
You know as I'm old now
I was just thinking about as far as just like picking your poison
The only the only it's like I don't mind if someone's just going just doing their thing
If they're happy, but it's when they're out of control. That's when it's hard to look at but some people who are just like
Look, man, I like eating burgers and smoking cigarettes and
What the fuck I like to do and have a couple glasses of wine is just like
You know, if that makes you happy like
You know, you don't need to live those extra whatever years
You know on a diet being fucking miserable like you would you take like 60 62
Fun years over 85
Being like, yeah
Well, what's is there any salt on those brussel sprouts because my doctor said
Yeah, there's a line right you want to look out for yourself, but you also want to live so it's uh
Yeah, it's tough on especially when you're out doing what we do and getting around and everything, you know
Yeah, it's a little bit. What I do is I just I try to I try to uh
I try to pick some new stupid skill to learn how to do and I just I focus on or something that I'll get into like, uh
We know dean dean del Rey. He's really into these mid-century houses
And I just he just kind of got me into architecture. So I'll just look at that
Instead of uh going down to the hotel bar and be an idiot an idiot, but I do know
That when I start when I'm overworked, that's when I start having these fantasies
Of selling everything I own somehow I sell everything I own
But I get to keep my house and everything in it in the it's a fantasy
And I just sit on I'm sitting on the back porch
And I never really talked to anybody ever again like I start thinking
Like I mean my friends I do but I just sort of just fade away and I used to think like
Like oh am I losing or whatever? I kind of realized after a while. It's like, oh bill
This is your brain saying it's tired. And why don't you take like take a week vacation
And make yourself mis-telling jokes or something like that. So I mean, but we don't tour the way you guys do
I mean, what's your record as far as like?
Longest tour like then justice for all till you said was what two and a half years long
Yeah, but but the black record was the longest one. It covered 91 through 93
So it was continuous
So I think in that middle year there, I might have been home for 11 days or 13 days or something
What do you do with mail?
How does that work?
Yeah, usually you just have well the the management
In san francisco just gets everything they just get loaded their offices just get loaded with shit
You know when we're gone when we're gone, you know, yeah when we're gone. So you spent three years on the road
You're doing the last show of the tour. Oh
Is there any melancholy or is it like oh my god? I gotta get the fuck out of here. I can't do this again
The depth of the exhaustion
Is
a place that
You you know any kind of like proper reasoning skills. I just love how you said that the depth
Of the exhaustion. I felt the weight of that
Wow, you can be unable to reason, you know, like
Should we go to to the Louvre and see the the painting that is, you know, the dada there
These things are Mona Lisa whatever the fuck like actually I'd like to get three hours of sleep since I haven't slept since tuesday
And now it's friday. Um, I should probably Mona Lisa will still be there when we come back
I got a good feeling overrated by the way. I know that's about this big
Overrated and then and then there's 5 000 people standing in front of it with their stupid fucking phones
And nobody's saying anything. That's the only thing I saw in the Louvre. I went right to it
I'm like, yeah, I saw it and then I went right to a bar
And just started getting shitfaced and I had way more way more fun doing that
The first time that we went to see that in the 80s though
It wasn't like that and it wasn't behind all layers of plexiglass and you couldn't get within 15 feet and all that
You could actually get up on it. So that was I mean, I'm glad I did that at that time
But you understand what I'm saying and you've had to do that certainly too
But there is that time where you get when you get to the end like that like we did. I think that was 4th of july
Verkter belgium and we had just done one of the coolest shows
question from a little bit ago
Back then pink pop
And the Verkter festival were already way steps ahead
In the thinking of diversity of the bill and the the different genres that were going to be there to entertain the crowd and the
broader listening
Practices of the people in the crowd they came to see all the way if it's good music. It's good music
Right, right. So started out as Bob Mould sugar
and it was
Faith no more and
Lenny Kravitz and when he was firing bro, you know, like really really good, man
This oh, he still had those dreads and watching from the side of the stage and you know that old
Hendricks footage and bob marley footage where the dreadlocks are going. It's like that
Like animated it becomes like an animated thing, but you're seeing it with your eyes like this that was fantastic
And then neil young played before us
Dude, what the fuck is that?
Like as far as he should have went after as far as we're concerned, especially from the bay area and all that thing
That's like you can't what the hell you've been thinking
Like with that, you know, there's nobody well, you know that I don't think the crowd would have been right, right, right
Right, but yes, and we had to play by that certainly because the record was hitting big
And it was a gigantic thing and the 55,000 people that are there or whatever. We're certainly a lot of them to seem talk
but
He kind of put out one of his best albums harvests moon right around them. Was that what he was playing?
Yeah, I think that was and and uh in his in his backing band was booker t in the mgs
Okay, so still went ducked on is still playing bass and I mean the the
Baddest motherfuckers that there ever was laying the shit down live steve cropper
You know what I mean who played drums on that. Do you remember who's in his band on his drummer?
No, I don't but that's the it was this the mgs drum or whatever. I'm sorry. I don't know his name
But anyway, Al Jackson was the original guy. He he got murdered
Yeah, it wasn't al jackson. No, no, and I remember steve jordan would sit in with them every once in a while
Whoever it was. I know it was a killer drummer and they got to keep up with it
But the the thing that always got me was that this particular
Stage was a big one and I always you know, I got my workout in for sure every show
And if I yeah, if they would have had the goddamn fit bit on me back then
The other thing would have exploded
So when you go from the edge of the pa over here on the riser to the edge of the pa and the riser over here
It's 150 feet. So a football field and then I mean
How was it 150?
Is that right 150 feet? Okay, that's fair enough 150 feet
And so we would go, you know, I
How many times can I go from end to end during the show and get all up on the thing and
The habit trail and the steps and all the shit up on there by the drums are really
So we had all that room to take up but neil and his boys when they came on before us
They brought out their you know their hippie rugs and they set up and then a sit and about a
Shoot man 30 40 square foot space man about like this
Whatever they could fit on the rugs is how much room they took up
Right and the expanse of the stage going that way and the spans of the stage going that way open
And they crushed us
They killed us
You know that I was like, oh, you know the thing about follow that follow that motherfucker type of thing
That's that's all I could feel trying to follow that
Because of the purity of it and like the good music factor
Neil the crowd no
They responded to him like crazy. Oh, wow when he because he was playing electric
So he brought that old that black less paul out that never can stay in tune and just fucking how he gets into that lean
And that step it just goes like trancing out man, and they would just transit man for like seven or ten minutes
It was untouchable. Yeah, we still came back with our bombs and all our shit, but I don't think it was as good as
needed
You know, but just the diversity of the flames we did what we had to do
We had to do and the kids liked it, but I don't think it was as good as the guys before us
And you brought up
Bill Graham and there was a
What was what was that guy like? What was it like to me? The guy was a vietnam war vet. He just was like
I remember there was there was footage. I can't find it. There was this footage. I think that it was a documentary about
Him at the Fillmore in san francisco
And I remember it was a farewell to the something or other and this one guy from one band wanted to play it
And he didn't get put on the bill
So he goes down to bill Graham and tries to get on the bill and when bill Graham's just like listen, man
It's just not rome and then the guy goes well, you know, man
Well, you know, then I guess you know
Fuck off and thanks for the memories man. And then bill Graham just fucking snaps
Just snaps like what the fuck did you just say to him and you see the look on the guy's face like well
I just ended my music career. Yes
um, and I was just like
Seeing the look of horror on that guy's face is he tried to still be a man
But back down what he just said. Yes. I was like, wow this like like the level of power
Before the internet that promoters had
Yes to make or break you what was when
You're going to meet that guy
Like and just the hands. I mean if I ever shook his hand, you know, we're still alive. I'd be like this hand shook
Jimmy's hand
This hand, you know shook Jim Morrison's hand this hand like all of those everybody this hand shook everybody's hand
Sign the check sign the check for Hendricks type of thing. Yeah. Yeah. What was it like when when when you uh,
We're intimidating intimidating. Yeah. Yeah, but but um, you're always really I remember being just on your best behavior
He would come and say hi before especially show we spoke of
Can say boys, you know that kind of thing give us a smile and give us a thumbs up and that but a very serious individual
When you are a pioneer and you're inventing it. They know fucker can tell you that you did it wrong
You know, I did that first when you did it wrong. Oh really?
Right that kind of thing. So if you already got that in your quiver as your first arrow type of thing
What I'm saying so the and and there had been some I would could let the other guys explain it to you
James had a real running with him in the early days
And so his thing with Metallica when they finally rose and got somewhere
He was actually extra proud because of the trouble he had with them earlier
So by the time that we got to somewhere it was intimidating to be with him
But we were respectful of each other. He was do you remember?
I mean are you free to talk about what the running was was it he was too loud for the band?
You know going on after was it a
From what I what I know is an early show
I think it was like 85 and they were philmore-ish must have been philmore west
and
San Francisco and something with a mic stand that james threw a mic stand in the crowd hurt somebody did something and then
perhaps got
You know when he called that
Uh and subordinate or something with uh with bill about it
So like it's already got the right word like the word you know
Like dismissive for something with bill afterwards because he was really drunk
He's a punk-ass kid full of himself and he's got his ride the lightning album out and everybody's kissing his butt at the moment
And he doesn't know any better and he had 13 cursed lights by the time he got to talk to the man
After he threw the mic stand hit the kid in the head
What loss what lawsuits gonna come from it and all the other shit that lines up in our business bill that's never ever stops
All right the depositions and stuff dude. It's just like
Craziness man through time for real. Is that wrong?
Well, fortunately, I don't do any of that type of stuff in my show
I just say well, eventually, you know, it'll it'll happen. Somebody will freak out about some stupid joke and
I guess you'll have some sort of case or whatever, but um, there's anyway
Wind it down here. I like you moved uh away from where you were at. I don't want to say where you're at, but like, uh
Because I you know living in LA, you know, when you were telling me you were kind of getting out of the hustle and the bustle, you know
My kids are locked into the school systems here, but there's definitely days
You know those days when I think about just sitting on the porch and not talking to anybody ever again
Like there's days that I think uh, and and I think you know
like man jason moved uh
That kind of sounds like I'm just seeing those trees and shit. Yeah, it seems quiet
I mean, I must be great for your creativity and the the music you're working on now
Now that you are where you are
I'm trying to talk around this
You look happy as hell and I'm happy for you. That's what I'm trying to say
Thank you bill. I appreciate that and things are going quite well. We had a great jam today
um nice and loud and free like we did, you know, no no plan just
Fucking beautiful noise. So we did that for oh, I gotta tell people how I met you
I was in the writers from efforts for family. I can't remember if you sent an email or something
And you were like, yeah, hey, it's jason man. Are you play drums? I like your comedy
We should get together and jam and I was just like
Yeah, man
Yeah, and then like
He's like, well, I'm gonna be down there next week and I was like, all right and you and where we were you picked
Was it s i r or is I called it sir because I'm not a hello sir. I called it sir s i r
rehearsals
and
I just show up and there you are I was like, oh my god. Hey, how are you and then you proceeded to just play original
Riffs that you had
And that was it was such an eye-opening thing to me of how much I sucked on drums because I didn't realize
That all of these times when I would be jamming on songs
They were songs that everybody knew and the drummer came up with the track already. So I had the answers to the test
Yes, all of a sudden you started playing. I was just like, uh boom crack boom crack boom
I thought it was awesome. I really did. Oh, I did too. I mean I was uh
I couldn't uh, I remember trying to tell
You know, my brothers who wanted to get me the double pedal
I was like, you're not gonna believe this who I jammed with today. They're like, oh, what the fuck
I like that. I like that very much
I'll tell you know what what is funny about your guys music is the the the fucking
Level like with thrash music and shit how much
Like if people are into it like they are just like I will die for this music
and I remember when I was playing um
I had a gig in Boston
And it was it was a big fucking place. So I rented some drums and my brothers came into town and we all got down and we started jamming
And you know, the security was listening like whatever whatever whatever and then we played a slayer song
I think I forget what one we played a slayer song and the second we played at this this fucking security guard way up like two levels up
Just goes slayer and like freaked out
Then we played a few more nobody gave a shit
And then we did a metallica song
And then another guy yelled out the name of this song
And then all of a sudden like the whole security like they just were looking at us like we were a bunch of dorks
But after we played a slayer and a metallica, they were like, oh, it's good man. That's not good. You're all right
All right, I want them over you want them over with the right selections
Well, you know, I think it's I think they're because of I think when all of those bands hit and what you guys went through
And how it wasn't underground thing and there was so many people saying to people that were listening to it like you're listening to this
Shit. What is this the felt that the fact that then the metallica album came at the end. They were all vindicated
Like I told you this was a great band
So, um, it's been a ridiculous honor to have you
On this podcast talking about one of the great, uh, rock what greatest rock albums of all time
I can't believe it's been 30 years
Uh, are there any more of those black box things left or did fans just gobble them up?
Yeah, they sold out in the first. I don't know how many hours or whatever, but I don't know if they're gonna print more
what's gonna happen with it, but uh
Yeah, it's I
It's nutty. It really is nutty. Let me tell you just a couple things that
blew blew me away with
It's resurgence as it were when it first came out in Germany and her sandman went as high as number two
I never got higher
And then three weeks ago or whatever when it came back on the radio went to number one
30 years later
So this kind of I mean what the easy
That's pretty hard to get a hold of but I want to tell you that I had a couple of names for the band and I told you our band
Our band our our power duo
Oh, um, and uh, yeah, look out black keys. It's yeah, exactly
So the beginning when we when we first played I don't know if you remember or not
I I was calling it, uh, jayberts, right j-b-u-r-r-d-s jayberts, right?
But then yeah, but since that time I've thought a little bit more about it
And so I've taken for your four letters. I take four letters from my name. So bursted, right?
Appendix bursted appendix. That's the name of our band
Because appendix doesn't just mean
Listening to me play drums is as fun as a bursted appendix, which I had I had an alone. I was a kid
That's going to be the tagline on the t-shirt
This this music as is as fun as dot-dot-dot on the back. Yes
And it'll have a picture on your drums
I am I think I have uh a gig or something in 2022 if you're not on the road, uh in your area
So, uh, I would love to hang I feel like I haven't seen I feel like I haven't seen anybody in forever. So
Um, I'm hoping that's gonna work out
But if it doesn't I know that you're on the road doing what you love to do. So either way, it's gonna be awesome
So thank you so much for coming on and talking about, you know, one of the great albums
Greatest albums of all time and uh, I hope to see you soon. All right
Yeah, thanks, bill
We're gonna come and see you in west palm and then we'll probably see up in new york later, too
Oh nice. Good deal. Good deal. All right. The great jason newstead. Thank you, brother

You're on the wrong side of history paul. We now we have our first
Unimaginable bill going for uh forano, but I gotta give I gotta give bill more credit
Not only did the kid go forano and come roaring back
Like the two-time jimmy the greek champion that he is
Taking the lead now by two games. I believe we're two and a half with the tie
But then the kid calls a fumble
From chicago to the stealers and i'm in my car driving home from a gig and i'm listening and i'm going man
I know we got two out of the three things stealers still need to win
And we got three out of the four and then all of a sudden I hear
Oh, we fumbled it
It is picked up and pittsburgh has it and I was like fucking ray leota in the shower
In good fellas, son of a bitch is I was so happy so bill big we picked two monday night specials in a row

It really is a game of runs, but I gotta tell you something bill touching on what you just said
I was at skankfest in houston, which by the way, man

We haven't even one guy was like, yeah, dude. We just sit down and we literally go with what you guys pick
and like the last two monday night specials, so
You know, maybe that's hilarious me and my dad haven't spoken in years. We'll brought you back together gambling
Hey paul, you know, whatever works, you know, I think maybe we're on some cutting-edge level of therapy
You know, some people are taking, you know low dosages of mushrooms and uh, you know, uh, molly
Whatever the kids call it
And you know, who knew you could say stone sober and just be a degenerate gambler
Who know all of a sudden you're like dad
I
Won money on the chiefs. I remember my first chief game. He took me there
So the standings as they are people were asked last week, uh, just double check the tally reviewed every pick
It's 18 paul's 18 and 18 bill was 2015 and one
Look at that. Look at us both of us at 500 or above
Against the spread. We're not doing that bullshit money line that all those other sports team
We're we're doing the real thing paul. We're getting a hands dirty
Yes, that's true messing with our kids futures here paul
Yep, because a lot of those nfl analysts on tv the professionals they go money line
No, we're not who you think you're gonna win the fucking bills are the jets bills at home. I mean, come on
What are we doing here paul? Yeah, let's get some fucking let's be people want the real world paul
They want the independent candidate that dresses like them
Think about this. Yeah, think about this for a second. This doesn't happen. That's some hairplug con
There's they're picking the money line paul. They want a couple of bald bastards picking against the spread
And winning and fucking winning
Fucking winning. What's the worst you got right now?
You even
The worst I've been is evil all of these guys fucking flapping their arms around going i'm picking you winners
Well, we're in november
We're already in the holiday season hollywood. How fucking halloween halloween's in the fucking rearview mirror
We got thanksgiving coming up. We are combined
38 and what
No, so we both picked 38 like 33 or something like that. Well, I need you to step it up. What's what's 36 times two
72
So we've we've we've picked 72 games and we are above
We are 500 or above dude and actually minus four because we went head to head
So minus four so 68 games and we're above
So dude, we are so guys
rise well, you know, it's not the paul
I actually earlier this year when you fucking won't give me your the reason why jacksonville was gonna lose
I got into an emotional place and I took jacksonville. So I lost that so you're one and four
You're one and four head to head against me. Okay. Okay. Well
All i'm saying is our listeners you need to ride this anything better money train
Okay, you need to ride this fucking money train all the way
Paul, let's head you out bets now
We've been doing so well. Who knows maybe maybe they bet the fucking don't pass bar. Whatever the pass bar those cons who

One of my going home with
Who do you like paul?
Uh, hold on. I gotta get these lines here. He texted him
all right, so
Actually, I know what I know the first game I'm gonna pick as I look for this because I liked it all week. I liked it all week
I'm gonna go out. I'm gonna say right here and I'm sorry. Kansas City fans. Okay. I'm sorry
It's over
The Kansas City Chiefs
There is either this is what happened
Either someone with the cover too with the safeties did something
Somebody's hurt something is off
Something is off. We've seen it enough
Okay, my new york giants had a lot of people out and almost pulled that off
They did not look good. They did not beat the packers by enough without erin rogers
I am taking the los vegas raiders by the way
It is my homecoming theory the raiders lost to my giants
Now they are coming home and they are two and a half point dogs at home. See paul that you fucked yourself on that theory
Why
You just said that coming home. You didn't say they're a good team coming home
None of the raiders the raiders. I know but you you said I said a good team coming home
And then when that guy fucking debunked your theory, well, they are still you had a meltdown paul
There are a few games over five and another there are a few games over 500
I don't believe in the chiefs. I think the raiders come home to vegas and beat the chiefs
Uh and getting two and a half. That's my first. I just want to clarify your homecoming
It's not just a homecoming. You say a good team
Coming off a road loss. That's right. That's right. Look at me looking out for you paul. That's right. You know what you are looking at
before my
All right, um
Inexplicably the fucking jacksonville jaguars won a game last week against the bills
Does this mean they go on a run paul? Or does this mean that this is just their fucking highlight of the year?
I say it's their highlight of the year
The cults are at home
this gore and points like fucking uh, like like fucking uh, uh dominique wilson
Wilkins back in the fucking day how to have an obscure reference there
I want to take the cults given
10 and a half against the fucking jaguars
You know
I think that uh, my pretty pony quarterback. I think he's not going to do too well there
They can be brushing his hair by the fucking second quarter. Am I jealous of his hair? Yes. I am
I've taken the cults and carcin wence
Mine is 10 and a half at home
It's a good dude. I love that you're taking point. You don't I mean bill's just taking going after points this year. I love it
Bill bill is fucking swinging in the dark. He has no idea. I hate this week paul
Yeah, uh, I hate this week like I hate a third show on saturday. Go ahead
You know, I don't know
There's a couple of tough ones here, dude. There's a lot of points this week
I feel like this is like a turning point in the season for teams
I mean look at this minus 10 minus seven and a half minus eight and a half minus
Yeah, they're still staying with those big fucking spreads. I was surprised. There's a lot of good the bills
I couldn't believe the bills are like, you know, I know they lost to the jaguars, but it's like fucking what are they 13 15
That's just a lot of points in the division rivalry. Yeah jets are getting 13 against the bills
Is it in buffalo?
Uh, no, it's in new york or jersey
All right in a giant fan take the jets paul
This is a tough game. I don't know why I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna take it because the line is low
But I'm gonna ride the train. I'm gonna take the patriots at home against the browns
You motherfucker, you can't do that to me two weeks in a row. You fucking asshole. Oh you want
You fucking asshole, what the fuck do you get off? I don't pick the fucking giant you cunt
I knew I should have picked them first
Oh
In november go fuck yourself
You motherfucker two fucking weeks in a row. You call yourself a friend
I didn't know you lot you cared about you call yourself a friend two weeks in a row. You take my pets
Come on
What do you mean come on paul versi swinging in the dark desperate for a victory jumps on the bill bella check mac jones train
You fucking I had the first cherry picker
That's not a bit. That's not there's a reason you're wearing yellow this week
Fucking giants. No giants. I picked the raiders first. You had a chance you picked the cults
You could have taken it. I thought you were a gentleman. You wouldn't do it two weeks in a row. I guess I was wrong
Oh, so now I can't pick your team. I mean, I don't care if you picked the giants
Why would you they stink?
You fucking asshole
Minus two at home against the browns who have fallen apart
Jesus paul walk up to the buffet table and fill up your plate. Why don't you
It's a great pain you fucking dirty bastard
Well, I gotta pick the patriots first every week now paul's on the pats train
I picked this the second time I ever taken them the whole year
Paul it's it's becoming a habit with you. This is the only second time I was taking them once
It took them twice. No now this is you know, you need a victory. That's what it is paul's desperate. That's a desperate move
Oh paul you win some you lose some oh 500
You fucking bastard. All right
I knew you were gonna do that
All right, I'm taking seattle on the road versus green bay
Russell wilson's coming back
Sneaky Pete's gonna go in there. I just feel like they're they're more organized
um
You know, Aaron rogers is coming back
I like I always like him at home. But there's just something about
I don't know earlier this year
He was unhappy with how the whole franchise was running
And I thought he was making a great point that like a mom and pop
Organization, I don't even know who makes the decisions over there. This isn't against Aaron rogers
But uh, I do think the added distraction of his, uh
You know what covid bullshit I just I just I like seattle
Plus three and a half getting three and a half points. I love Russell wilson dk mac cap
And sneaky Pete. I think he's a great coach and he's a better coach than whatever the fuck green bay has
Should I take that head to head
Paul, I don't give a fuck what you do after you took my pats twice in a row. What a fucking god damn it
Um sneaky bastard
You goddamn sneak
I'm gonna take the apartment, Paul. I'm gonna take the tennessee titans minus three at home
Against the new orland saints now. I got now. I got to go look for another fucking game
That don't even one on a on a difficult week
Do you know what it's like paul? I'm watching the pats and I'm also thinking paul's getting a victory here
Why would you do that to me?
Bill you could have picked them first you picked a cult paul paul. That's paul. You could have not picked them two weeks in a row
Oh my so I should so so you could you should have been a gentleman
Oh, we're doing a fall. You know what you're doing paul
Paul there's unwritten rules. There's unwritten rules in this shit. I gotta want now i'm watching my team
Rooting for them and brooding for a fucking guy that's gonna get a victory in our head to head
I see I don't obviously you take it more. I have to break that down for you
No, I get what you're saying, but like that's not come over your house
You got to spread out and I double dip right in front of your wife and kids. That's okay
The family in a world you live in it
You double dip and paul you double dipping you're sticking your chip in after you had it in your mouth
Two weeks in a fucking row in the guacamole too the favorite dip of everybody
The patriots in november
There's a reason you're wearing yellow this week. That's all that that's a cowardly fucking paul's flailing. All right. I'm gonna take kyla murray coming back
They're at home. They're playing the hapless carolina panthers who are trying to
erase
They're trying to erase
the whole history
of former patriot quarterback
quarterback
An op-ed star for some reason I can't remember his fucking name right now. Why can't I remember his fucking name?
Who's your guy paul?
who
cam newton
Yeah, cam newton. I was thinking dax shepherd. I might I'm too fucking old here cam newton that they're racing the guy's memory
It's just bad fucking karma really killed my point that I couldn't remember his name though
cam newton, I mean come on. Isn't dax shepherd like a celebrity like an actor or something?
I thought that was the quarterback of the cowboys. He's a comedian. No dax shepherd is like
married to christin bell. He's a fucking actor. You're thinking of dak prescott
Okay
I mean whatever paul i'm not picking the fucking giants and ruining your thanksgiving
You could pick I'll take I'll take the canal paul. Yeah, we're a defended paul
Defending you know coming to another man's stadium and take his fucking team
So he like there's a part of me that can't enjoy that they're gonna win
Because you're getting a win. That's what you're doing to me paul
I didn't know that these were the rules. Oh, you're walking into my house with muddy shoes on right on the carpet
It's no no no you if you love your team go with them first
You had the first pick and you picked the colts
Because I thought you weren't gonna do that to me two weeks in a row and I thought you'd love the colts
I wouldn't I'm not doing it. I'm like I'm looking at the games. I like some bag. No
Some bag fucking move. No, it's not. It would have been a scum. It is paul. It is not a scum
I have to watch my team win and know that you're getting a victory
Why would you do that to me? Well, it's a holiday month do that to me in september
First of all, thanks giving my favorite holiday and you're eating off my plate two weeks in a fucking row
Thanksgiving's overrated
Thanksgiving's over why paul?
Why is it overrated because you just sit you get fucking fat you sit down you fall asleep christmas is about spirit
About the children being happy getting given. Oh, is it give your wife spirit for christmas and see how she fucking likes that
It's not what it's about. It's about going out and buying some big stupid fucking bag
You didn't want to buy just to shut them up until valentine's day. That's what it's about
You know what I love about fucking Thanksgiving paul? You're not required to do anything
You put on a sweater you watch the lions lose
You know you look at the hapless fucking cowboys and you tune out your relatives
Yeah, you eat delicious food paul. You love to eat. There's always a
Because it's not built around pasta. Yeah fucking
Yeah, some rap and a fucking great belief
There's always that relative at Thanksgiving that you got to worry about what they're gonna say in front of people man
Fuck that's on you paul. That's on you. You're the bouncer your own house
Considering you don't mind barging into mine and picking my patreon. It's two fucking weeks in a row
You fucking turncoat son of a bitch
Paul what I've always liked about you is you had class
Oh, stop it man. As much as you dress like a third grader waiting for a bus on the first day of school
I swear to god you want to laugh I put this on today and as I put this on I remembered my yellow sweat pants when I was in grade school
So you look like a school bus. Yeah
All right, what am I doing here? So I I'm trying to fucking kill time here so I can pull another pick out of my ass here
No, I think you did
No, I well, I got I just had it now. What's your pick? But now I gotta I gotta go on and try and find something here paul
All right, so this would be my last you gotta understand
I look at these picks for a good 30 seconds the amount of work that's put into this
I'll go ahead to I'll go ahead to head with you take the
Take the packers
I'm gonna take the packers minus three and a half rogers coming back
I'll look at you now acting like you're a hero. What do you mean?
Now I like that pick exactly kids coming back with a bad finger gets hit in the finger, you know
Right there paul everybody heard how much thought is behind our picks
Yeah, kid comes back with a bad finger. He gets hit in the finger
That's the kind of analysis you get here
The anything better podcast. All right, I got the fucking lines in front of me here paul
I'm trying to pick because once again paul versey walks into my house doesn't even say hello
Sits down in my chair and starts fucking eating before anybody else sits at the table
Good lord
Oh, the bills are only 13
Am I gonna take the fucking jets? What am I an asshole? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna take the fucking buccaneers
Lay in nine and a half
Against the team from washington
How funny is it that they just can't come up with a fucking name?
They're really just saying
They're really making a statement paul. Andrew you got our picks, right?
We got four each
All right, everybody
Well, you know paul I want extra credit that last week. I went for no despite the fact you took my patriots
We're not gonna no no we can't I fucking just gave you all the credit in the world for going for no your fumble thing
And and I thanked you and I wished you a happy birthday and then what did you do paul?
You didn't even knock
You put your air Jordans right on my french door. You kicked
Kicked the fucking door open. I love that that patriots pick was my fucking warm blanket for the week going
Okay, as much as I hate this week. I know I'll get one I'll get one
I might do the
Un unforgivable paul dude. You you were that confident in that dude the brown's just won
I was like hesitant about that pick
You you love you look you got a guarantee on that pick whenever you're full of shit. You start squinting your eyes
No, I was looking
All right. Yeah, I'm squinting my eyes because I'm fucking losing my sight. I'm getting old here and I got to do this offer
Um, anyway
Monday night special
Oh monday night special
Guys, that's a monday night paul. You know what? I'm gonna let the bad blood between us die here
Because now I have to team up with you. I'm gonna go old school politician here and reach across the aisle to my nemesis
Came in and peed on my rug this week
I
Dora they can't even laugh
Guys, you know, it's gonna happen paul. You're gonna lay off the pats next week and I'm gonna pick them. They're gonna lose
um
Guys we hit the monday night special for you not once in a row
But two times in a row and I know you can't I know once and not on the money line either paul
Not on the money line
And we we've picked seven straight things in a row that we're gonna happen
And we picked my homes to throw an interception
and
One team getting a fumble and then the other team getting it and we hit them both
Okay, we're making people money as we are patting ourselves on the back
All right, let's let's do let's do our monday night special as the great club soda. Kenny would say we're making money moves
All right, so the monday night game this this week is the
Los angeles rams versus the san francisco 49ers. Is that right?
Correct betmgm has the niners getting four the best lines betmgm lines have have the niners getting four in san francisco
Is that right correct?
Oh bill what monday night special are we gonna do? Here's one I like
Well, here's something you should know
All right
The san francisco 49ers have not won at home in like I think that was their 13th game going back to last year
How many times?
Can you lose at home? I know they got a bunch of guys out. I went to the game last week
colt mccoy came in there and had his way with them
The rams are coming off the loss andrew is that right?
The rams are coming off a loss, dude
But how about this by the way, dude, you you crushed that uh cardinals game
I think one thing we need to do is a special teams bet on this one
I say one missed kick. Can we do one miss kick? Whether it's a pat or a field goal either team?
Yeah, miss kicking sure. That's that's not that's not crazy
We're getting a little cocky. All right. I thought you're gonna go miss miss extra point
I was like Jesus paul. No, no any kick any miss kick all going for the half court dagger during the third quarter
I'll make sure that it can be for any team, but if you want to pick a team just in case they can't produce lines on any
Team missing
um
Do we even know who their field goal kickers are paul?
Yeah, I said stop this before. No, I know the san franc kid. I mean listen, they're all
Find and you find out if you know what I'd like to you know, I went to a rams
Tampa Bay game this year
And that defense at least in september looked pretty impressive to me and I saw the 49ers last week
And uh, you know, I'm gonna be I'll be honest with you
You know the Cardinals defense forced a couple of turnovers that was huge
That really could have turned the game or swung the game back around the other way
Um, I'm trying to think I don't know the ramp. I need of matt gay
And i'm pretty sure rubby ghoul doesn't hurt or anything. So i'm double checking that
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's ghoul. It's ghoul
Matt gay is a good kicker though. Think about the rams is I just don't like how they got rid of their quarterback
I just don't like that coach didn't go face to face with them if that's a true story. There's something about that paul
It's like your buddy taking your own team fucking two weeks in a row just rubbed you the wrong way
you want to
Paul i'm mad at myself
That's what it really is that I left it on the table for you to fucking scoop up
Like a fumble and run it into the end zone
I would yeah, I mean look
I I would I didn't do it first and you didn't do it. So then I was like I got to do it
What can you I didn't do it first it's got to be the worst fucking excuse I've ever heard in my life
I'm not the first guy that shot someone in the head, you know
I mean people get murdered every day
Um, what we were thinking money line rams
Niners
Who you got
I mean, I mean it's a tough game to pick on a money line. Let's just take the ramps
I think the 49ers the wheels are off and they suck
uh
Let's let's do I don't think they suck
I just think that they're right now is a good time to bet against them statistically garoppolo is like the worst
Quarterback starting quarterback in the league right now
So isn't he greek?
Nice Italian
Italian
Paul you're gonna sit there and take that
I mean half you should be pretty fucking upset right now
Do you want to do what do you want to do? Do you want to do like cooper cup getting six catches?
Jimmy the gent
Cooper cup over a hundred over a hundred yards reception. Oh, yeah
What does that fucking pay like you gotta bet four in it all is to make 20
How about how about cooper cup six receptions or more?
I like that
Rams money line
Cooper cup miss field goal. Let's stop there
Yeah, we're gonna do three this way. Wait, who's doing a miss who's missing a kick
I think we just say miss a missed field goal between either team
So cooper cup gets six catches that brings odds up a little bit
That's a lot. That's a lot
Cooper cup gets six catches the rams went on a money line and there will be a miss field goal in the game
That's fine. Yeah, you know what that is paul that last one. That's that one of those intangibles
Yeah
Yeah, I still think the best as you said that fucking my home's just gonna throw a pick
I mean who says that paul?
I think you guys got a kind of guy that walks into your house. All right
I'm letting it go
You guys got a lot of shit for the main home's thing because he was averaging like one interception in game
And so they were saying that's really not that crazy. Maybe last year it would have been
I'm just letting you know
Yeah, you know, don't people always do that?
Isn't there always some con saying something like, you know what I binge watched on the plane?
I watched wall street
wahl
And it was about mark wallberg who was already a multi-millionaire as an actor, right?
But instead he's trying to expand his world and you watch this guy, you know get all of his different businesses
And dealing with the pandemic. I loved it
Right. I go on the internet seeing how the reviews were
And you know, I'm and the reviews in general were good, but there's always a couple people
What really do I really need to sit and watch this fuck? I go, I get it. I get it. He's a movie star. He works out. He looks great
There wasn't one moment in there where the guy's being an asshole. It's like, how could you fucking not like this?
Yeah
That's my pick of the week to get inspired
Like this this is there a war on self-made men all of a sudden here in this country
Yes, we the guy that guy grew up in a huge family. He had a dream. He went after it. He made it happen
I mean just the storyline alone. He meets this woman who has her own grocery store in Portland
He just likes her. He likes the way she's doing her business
He's got a good heart like i'm telling you that is like right in the crosshairs
Of cunts on the internet that they're not gonna like it
Your heart's in the wrong place if you don't enjoy it. I really liked it and I got inspired
I'm gonna expand my business paul
Yeah, let's actually I want to let's talk about my business to yellow hoodies
For the person in your life who you know would would push comes to shove would pick your team
That way you never forget you dress them all in yellow
Here he comes
You know, he's taking the last devil deck. You're gonna be you're gonna be on this until next week. Oh my god
No, I'm not that's my pick of the week though. Watch uh
I'll pinch it's six episodes wall street
It's really fascinating because it right just the pandemic hits
And he's trying to start all of these businesses
It's kind of stressful
All right, uh, so that parlay won't work because you can't do odds against nobody getting a field goal
So real quick if you guys and cooper cups, uh, usually averages seven and a half catches
So if you want to make it like above 10 because it's just not going to pay out
It's below that so it'll be negative money. So it's got to be like
On all right. All right. So all right. So for the monday night special, we'll do
Ram's money line. You want to do cooper? Can we do cooper cup? Like you said a hundred yards receiving?
Yeah, that's he he averages right around there. So you'd want to do like over
You know
Over a hundred he's not gonna have he's not gonna have 10 catches cooper cup is not gonna have 10 catches
Well, we have 140 yards. No, he's averaging seven and a half
So 49ers defense paul is decimated
Does the 49ers defense double up on cooper cup because he's the best fucking receiver on football probably
I don't think he's gonna get a 10 10 catches
Um, you want to how about this you want to do matt stafford throws three touchdowns?
It's fun. That's a lot. All right
I don't like this all of a sudden now. We got a fucking edge. We're such idiots who like
Who who fucking averages seven catches?
He's gonna get six someone's gonna miss a field goal. We were way off
Can't bet on any of that. Um, all right, we got the rams and the money line. Yep
Um
Fuck that. I don't give a shit if they do double cover. I think he gets nine catches. I do
nine
nine he gets nine catches
And uh, jimmy g throws a pick
That's probably low odds
All right, let's do it. I mean nine catches is a lot but all right
Hey paul, I'll bet you a stick he gets nine side bet
He's averages seven and a half. You want to do eight just to make we were trying to make people money
Well, that's why you want to do like matt. Yeah, you want to go a little higher paul
Dude that defense fucking stinks. All right nine catches. All right nine catches jimmy g throws a pick
So you can feel better about paul. I'll take that action if you want to come at me come at me paul
I'm sitting right here. What are you gonna do?
I mean now that means I'm betting against the people but I don't think he's gonna have nine catches
We'll talk
We'll talk I'll I'll go with the fucking holiday season here paul
Yeah, I don't want to be the guy that walks up to the craps table and bets on everybody to crap out
So I'll go with it nine catches
Uh ram's money line and jimmy g throws a pick. You got me betting on it. All right, and if he doesn't get nine catches
I'll get you a fucking cigar and I'll sing. I'm sorry by by fucking peggy lead all the fucking listeners if it doesn't come in
I know why you want me to make an italian throw a pick because you're still mad at me about the new england thing
Is that what that's about
You want me to have an italian throw a pick it's it's a subconscious thing
So wait a minute. So it's okay for you to be emotional about that, but I can't protect my own team
You we both can be emotional. It's totally fine
So what do you what wait? So what do you want? You want jimmy g throws a pick or no?
Yeah, because your gut said that and I like it. I think that'll happen
I see the pain. I'm bringing to your face paul. I don't want to do that
He's a good looking italian kid. I like the kid what he's gonna do
But you know what everybody has a bad throw every once in a while
And he's going against a good defense and he might be desperate because they might be down points
So he may have to force a little ball in there all of a sudden
It's tipped at the line of scrimmage and the rams get a pick maybe late in the game. I like it
Which gives cooper cup another chance to go out and get a couple more catches and everybody fucking wins
I like it. There you go. All right. We got it
Let the monday in that space show it if we get three in a row
mgm better send something
They're gonna have to shut us down
All right guys. So those are our week nine picks
Hope you enjoy it. Also join us for the monday night special bill. Give him the song again

It's it just makes me feel old when I look at it
It just used to just be the b and then it'd be like oh 2013 champions. That's all you needed
Now they got they got the fucking trophy spinning out to the right the bees over here. That's a fucking mess

Oh, I don't know anyways. I'm um
You know not shitting on that, you know
Thought that style of a hat. I'm just saying it just looks dumb
on my head
You know
I'm white
Of course I observe sports

That an old reference me that fuckers in his 30 by now
I don't know what happened the last 10 years
But I've noticed it in my act when I go to make references. I think I brought this up before I was doing a college gig
So I'm up there. I'm trying to be hip
I'm trying to be down
I don't know what I was doing and I made a reference. I needed a reference for
You know a young pop
Skanky kind of chick and I I threw up britney spears and dude. I'm telling you absolute fucking crickets
I got nothing on it
And then I just did the math quickly in my head. I'm like, wait a minute britney spears is like a 32
33 year old divorced mother of two at this point
She's not that 18 17 18 year old girl coming up
Whatever the fuck she's saying in her little fucking outfit, you know total entrapment
Hey, once she's of age, can you still go back and jerk off to that video or is that still looking at kiddie porn?
Look, I know in the video she's 17, but right now she's 26. So even if you split the difference, she's like 23, right?
um
Anyway, so then I had to like
I made a reference. I I did da my rares podcast and we were talking about
He busted me when I I did maybe it wasn't his podcast. I did I did his
Stand-up show down at the laugh factory the world famous laugh factory everybody
All right, and if you're around the world and you've never heard of the world famous laugh factory
Then I I think you need to become a little more cosmopolitan a little more worldly
Okay, you got the great wall of china
You got the octetra off
And you have the world famous laugh factory on sunset strip
all right
run by the always lovely
Jamie Masada and I was down there doing a stand-up thing and Dom has this cool show where like, you know
You do stand up and then after you're done he comes up and he does these interviews
Which is more you just sit there breaking each other's balls and laughing your ass off. So he called me out on
Dustin off some old topical material, but I forget how I dropped into it
um
But I I did the whole oh speaking of this, you know, what's up with monica lewinsky
I mean it wasn't that bad
But it was one of those deals where he busted me and I laughed about it and I and I was
I was reminded this time
In like the early 2000s. I was working with this fucking hack
And he was on stage and he just goes out of nowhere. He goes, you know
People are still talking about oj
He just the oj simpson trial was in 90
Of the death of murder happened in june a 94
And the trial concluded in october of 95 and it was 2002 and this guy goes people is still talking about oj
Seven fucking years later and then he proceeds to do material
That wasn't seven years after the case kind of thing
It was like this was shit that he wrote while the trial was going on
And anyway, so I go to tell that story
And i'm at the laugh factory and it's a crowd of 20 somethings
And I tell it to dom and I want to say dom laughed, but it got nothing
From the crowd and then i'm just looking going all right say like the average person here is 24
That means they were born in 1989. That means oj
You know, I shouldn't even see me got acquitted, right? I never understood that case
He got acquitted, but he still had to give everybody all his stuff
Like they need more evidence to send you to jail for life
but you know
To get all his stuff including his heisman trophy all the other side just asked me I mean come on
Yeah, I mean, you know, we did who else who else would have done it?
And then it's like
You know the end of the wheel of fortune. You're just like all right first
Slicing my daughter's throat. I'll take the dinette set for 700
That's disgusting fellows a disgusting joke. Well, fuck you. I got an hour to fill here talking to myself
Uh, what would you be talking about six and a half minutes in exactly?
Okay, so sit back down in your plastic staples chair and you put your head down in your desk inside of your fucking cubicle
I don't hear another word out of you for the next fucking 53 and a half minutes
Okay
I'm in no mood
I got a long podcast ahead of me and the last thing I need is someone like you getting all fucking up next to your stapler
Anyways
Yeah, so i'm starting to feel my age
I mean I look I look phenomenal
Despite the top of my dome from just below my hairline down from my age. I look phenomenal
I
Don't fuck you I look great
All right, I've seen other 45 year olds. It's not a pretty sight
And maybe it's because they got married and they had a bunch of kids
Right and they made them some omelets and the kids didn't finish it because they didn't have teeth yet
So then you got to eat their omelets too and then you start walking sideways out of your house just
Door jam, right
You just start using momentum to get to your car
You know
You put your belly
Right on the fucking driver's side door leaning against it, you know
Like a heavyweight fighter trying to wear down his opponent
You just lean in against your car as you're fiddling around trying to find your keys in your pocket
You literally have to take a break
From carrying that bacon egg and cheese mass right in front of you
The fucking suspension digging in on the opposite side of the car like when I try to tip my dog over
You know
I don't know how difficult cow tipping is but trying to tip over a pit bull is practically impossible
They get low and they put two of their bionic fucking legs on the opposite side of their body
And then they also have like web toes and they just dig into the carpet. Isn't that right Cleo?
No
Dude, I got to put up this video of her snoring
The other night last night
She sounded like a fucking trucker who just got back from a fucking
There and back trip across the country
Full of hobbies
Laying on her back
Fucking face twitching REM sleep and just snoring
I don't know. I don't think she got sleep apnea. I don't know what her deal is a fucking lover though. So anyways
The hell was I just talking about? Oh, yes. I looking good for my age, but um
I'm starting to feel it feeling it with the references. So the other day I was working. Um
What the hell was I had an unbelievable weekend? I worked uh dc new york in philly and I'm I'm backstage
In uh in new york city at the beacon theater
All right, legendary
theater
Just beyond anything I ever thought about I used to go to stand up new york on the upper west side
And my whole fucking thing was just being able to get a spot there
First on a weekday a scheduled spot not to get thrown up to actually have my name on the schedule
He has a 10 20
Right and then it became can I do a weekend spot? But I I and you know
I get off the subway and I'd walk by that theater a zillion time and it never even dawned on me
That a comedian could even fucking play a place like that. That's how far away that was so
um, I hope if you were in the area you had a chance to come down there because um
Both of those shows were uh
I don't know that was something else something else right up there with karnagy or any of those other things and uh
But there was something about the beacon
That just it felt like uh, I don't know felt like I was at the cellar like comfortable. It was awesome
so anyways
Ah, jesus christ. I forgot what the fuck I was talking about
All right, let's back it up. It's how my brain works. It goes in a straight line
So I got a you know like when you miss an exit you got a backup back in the day and you go back and look at the sign
Back in the car up. Well, maybe you just pulled over and your dad got out. I'll pissed off
And left his family of five sitting on the side of the road waiting to be rear-ended
Well people didn't text when they drove back then so I guess it was normal
Right, um, ah shit. What the fuck was I talking about?
I can't remember. I literally cannot remember anything that I said before no wait. I said a bad joke
oj
dinette set
Ah christ
And there it is and then and then it just hits the fucking beach and now here we are we're in we're in a fucking lull
I guess I was talking about eating like shit
You know, I was doing so well
I got myself down to about a buck seventy
You know, I'm watching that UFC the ultimate fighter
Right, I'm watching that this season everybody on the show is in shape
The women have fucking taken it to the next level. They're having some of the best fights of the season
And it's making me want to work out and then I went on the road and this is a funny thing me
I went out with verzi right and we're not drinking right now. We're on the wagon
Although I drank wednesday and thursday
But I'm still I still consider on the wagon wednesday. I got fucked up
And uh, and I paid for it the whole day and I was like, this is stupid. I got how many times do I have to learn
this lesson
Oh, I gotta tell you guys I
I went to the rangers game the rangers penguins game on uh
It was that wednesday night. I gotta tell you what a what a fucking venue
You know, they redid the whole thing
seriously after going to a the clippers
Warriors game just being in the staples center because I really love la and I don't look at the people like that plastic phony
Or that type of shit, but I gotta tell you you haven't gone to that game sunday night and then gone to madison square garden
Uh, just you could not compare the atmospheres
It was just fucking I thought can I stop saying that annoying word?
The atmosphere of saturday was just it was electric
Yeah, I mean you could feel there was something palpable in the air the the the the
The pirate victory that was to come um
That was fucking amazing
It's just nothing like being in a stadium
Watching a team that has a history albeit a tragic one
But has a history and everybody just grew up watching them
And they know the history of the game
There's rivalries you just you feel it, you know, it's like a uh
It's like one of those home cooked meals that gets better every time you reheat it. You know like a beef stew
a gumbo
Let's throw that out there for the wonderful people down there in new orleans
I actually got homesick, you know last night when I watched a little bit of the saint's cowboys
I watched a little bit of the saint's cowboys game and um
When they were shooting down the street, you know, they always play that new orleans music and shit
and uh
Al michael's are going was sitting there talking about how they were shooting right down canal street and I stayed there at the hotel
There was the hotel. There's the fucking harris. There's the cigar bar and I missed it
But I gotta tell you I ended up shutting off the game
Because I was so tired and I what did I ended up watching this documentary on dr. J on the nba channel
You guys got to see it. Of course. I don't know the name of it, but uh
Just they don't
Never made one like that never again before or after just the combination that guy was so fucking cool
And so classy and even to this day you want to talk about a guy aging well
You know
they said that he uh
He can still dunk
And I'm not going to say whether or not he proves that he can still do it, but you definitely should watch
The documentary of the shit that the guy was doing especially all you guys from the jordan era
Or maybe the kobie era who just went just as far back
Is michael jordan if you want to know
How michael existed or whatever it's because he got to I mean aside from obviously all his hard work and all that type of stuff
but he got to
watch a guy like like dr. J and uh
They showed all the classic shit his dunk on michael cooper
um
And then that one where in the 1980s finals where he drives baseline
jumps up in the air and he's got the ball
I think maybe in the third row
Sort of doing this sort of windmill thing
swooping around
And he's literally his momentum carries him out of bounds
There's some giant white dude, and I don't know if it was kareem or who else
Just completely took away that side of the rim
It was over
So anybody else even an all star maybe the best they could do
Is maybe look to see find somebody open underneath the basket to pass it to him
Or do the playground thing where you try to throw it off a defensive player and it's out on them
Right, but instead he just keeps flying through the air
All right, there's two tall people blocking this side of the rim. I think I'll just keep gliding through the air
I'm starting to come down so I'll pull my legs up a little bit
Give me just give myself a little more hang time comes back all the way to the other side of the basket
everything but probably you know his
Halfway to his right forearm
Down to the tip of his fingers is out of bounds the other way
And he just reaches back in bounds at the last second. It puts like a reverse spin on the ball
For a reverse layup on the other side. I can't explain and it goes by so fucking fast. You have to watch it in slow motion
um
They got that they got all the ABA
Highlights and the stuff they were giving away like they had a dollar night or something like that at nasa coliseum
With a new york nets plate when he was in the ABA and it was a dollar a ticket
9 000 people showed up and if you showed up not only was your ticket only a dollar they gave away a free loaf of bread
So then you start to see all that all that will ferrell semi pro stuff. It's just it's awesome, man. I'm actually looking it up right now. Dr. J
documentary
um
I guess it's just called the doctor
Watch nba tv's the doctor full documentary. Uh, Jesus christ. It's already up online. It's fucking sons of bitches. Definitely check it out
And then they got all his awesome commercials
Um with all the fucking 70s music they had this one it goes. Hey, hey dr. J
Where'd you get those moves? You move with such grace? Are you a member of the human race?
They literally go are you a member of the human race like you'd political correctness?
Would never let you get away from that with the underlying racist comments what they were really trying to say was we've never seen anybody
Play like that, but you know
Those arian cunts, of course would be like, you know, that's exactly what we were saying, right?
I guess the nazi guys would talk like that, right?
Do you actually have like a bad german accent like i just did?
But you got to see it, but you got to watch that commercial
I'm gonna put a link up for that because then the dude the second verse that they don't show in the documentary
He goes up into that fucking 70s falsetto
It's the shit nia loved it. She like was like memorizing the song. I was walking around our house singing it last night
Um, which is why I love her
All right, so there's that so definitely check out the doctor on the nbh. I watch it on the nbh channel
All right, help out that zillion dollar business
With their mobbed up refs
So anyways, where the hell are we? Oh my god, where are the last fucking 12 minutes go?
It's just really flies by when you're having fun. Okay time to do a little bit of advertising
All right, everybody here we go bill's gonna try to read out loud once again this week
Is there any improvement any improvement? Ah, fuck. I'm already throwing it off the rails. All right, here we go
Focusing taking our time relaxing maybe going a little slower letting it breathe

All right. Anyways, let's get back to the uh, let's get back to the old uh
The old podcast a rune there
um
so
As I mentioned oh this week
They had the uh, new york comedy festival, which was why I was at the uh, I was in new york city working at the beacon theater
um
I was over this this was my weekend. I worked our constitution hall where eddie murphy taped delirious
And chris rock did I think never scared or shoot the messenger. I forget which one
Um, so I got to work that place and then I did the beacon
You know, which is the beacon and then I got to do the tower theater and philly
so, um
It was insane. It was absolutely insane and this is my week couldn't have got any better
um, because it was the new york, um
comedy festival
there was all these big named comics, um that were in town and uh, bill cosby
was working at the theater down in madison square garden and uh
It was on my bucket list
You know, I got to see this guy. I saw carlin. I never saw prior
I have to see bill cosby
um, I saw don rickles earlier this year
And uh, you know, there's a lot of people that I should have seen throughout my career
And I never did because I was too busy trying to get better myself and I was always like i'm gonna see him
I'm gonna see him. I'm gonna see him
And like I never saw carlin when I was actually a stand-up comic where I could have appreciated him even more
I saw him and um, I told you this story before I'll tell it again real quick
Me and a buddy of mine saw him at the cape card melody tent
and
We actually went down there to laugh at him if you can believe it because my buddy had convinced me
That he was still doing his more stuff bit
That he hadn't changed up his stuff. So we were driving to the
venue
Drinking and laughing going more stuff like we just were like we're gonna go down there. We actually used to go out
Like I went and I saw a live taping of the Morton Downey Jr. Show
We would go out to go see stuff like that to enjoy it and also laugh at the people that that thought it was great stuff
Morton Downey, jr. He was great. But come on. It was a shit show, right?
um, we saw dice
um
We loved dice. We saw him at the Worcester center
We didn't go down there to laugh at him by any stretch of the means we went down there to fucking laugh our balls off and we did
um, saw him at the Worcester center
But we went to go see carlin we went down there to laugh and I think he was going to do all his old material
And of course we go there and he had a brand new killer hour and he was 10 times the comic that he was
The last special just how he just kept growing throughout his whole career. So anyways, but I never saw him
When I was an actual stand-up comic
I saw him when I wasn't a comic so all I knew was this guy was funny as hell
um, so anyways
long story short I
Was flying to new york and they had an article
in the new york post that
said that uh
Cosby was in town
And he was doing the festival
So I called up and I asked if there was any way I could stand in the back and blah blah blah blah just check them out
And they hooked me up
And they actually got me to the side of the stage and I was thinking oh, maybe maybe he'll just walk by and I'll get to
Shake his head. No, I don't want to bug him. I don't want to bug him
So I go backstage and of course there's like 40 people standing there because you want to go
You got to see bill cosby
So I'm standing there and then this woman goes hey, you want to go up and meet him
And I was like meet who and she was and I'm like cosby and
She was like, yeah
So she starts walking up towards this dressing room and I'm
It's like I had fucking mud and I'm walking in mud like I was afraid I was afraid
So I'm walking I'm going are you sure it's okay? Are you sure it's okay because this wasn't somebody running the festival
This was just like a pa that was bringing me up there
and
It's right before he's going on
and I'm thinking like
It just didn't seem like this was going to happen. So she walks up knocks on his door
I hear somebody say come in that's not him and they open the door and there he is sitting there with one other guy
And so I walk in
thinking I'm going to get an intro from the pa and she just closes the door behind me
Now I'm standing there. It's me
There's other dude and bill cosby who's the other two was sitting down and I'm standing up
He calls me looks up at me
And he just goes
Who are you?
And immediately my heart is pounding. I'm like, uh, I'm bill burrow. I'm I'm a stand-up comedian and he interrupts
He just goes and why are you here?
It's not going like oh my god, this is the fucking nightmare. I didn't want to come up here. I didn't want to bug him. I was tongue-tied
I had I
There was nothing I I what am I gonna? Why am I here? I don't know why I'm here
I didn't ask to come up here. She just fucking dragged me. So it's three excruciating seconds
After he said and why are you here?
And I'm just sitting there with my jaw on the ground and then he finally lets me off the hook and he goes you are here
Because I asked you to be and then he motions to a chair and goes sit down
So I sit down. He had no idea who I was
I think he knew that I was a comedian but I
I sat down
And immediately I just had this fucking ear-to-ear grin on my face that I couldn't wipe away and I just as I was sitting down
I was like I got to tell you this is like meeting the pope and he goes yes, but way more entertaining
I can't do it the way he did. He just had me laughing
And he proceeded to just start talking to me about how excited he was about his new special
and about the way
that he
shot the thing and and
And uh the artistic way he's like you have to see this thing and he was saying there's no crowd shots
He goes I don't want the camera on my crowd. He goes leave my people alone
Let them laugh if they think it's funny
He goes I don't want the camera on them and then they get self-conscious
And they feel like they have to and he imitates their laugh and he does that cosby. Ah
Did that thing?
It was insane
So then he goes he goes I'm going to tell you something about shooting a special and he looks at the other guy
He goes I don't think I should tell him this
You know what I'm going to tell it
I'm going to I'm going to tell it to him and he turns to talk to me and right then the door opens
And the pa comes back and goes mr. Cosby. Are you ready and he goes? Oh, yes, of course, and he stands up and he walks out
So I never got to hear
That that the secret of shooting a special
From a guy who I think you know, I
I've said this before I feel like Richard Pryor live in concert and Bill Cosby himself run the entire gamut
of
It's like two perfect games
Um
I can't I can't explain it and it's just one just absolutely
Like Cosby's just totally clean other than he says asshole one time, but it's totally necessary
it's just not
an ounce of fat
In that special just wire to wire. He's just sitting down killing not cursing just
Like I just you couldn't do it any better
As far as just a written special all the way to Pryor live in concert, which is just like
I don't that's just
I don't know how to describe that style
Just open free going off
Not like you don't have your bits but like
Those nights when you're just on as a comic and you're just tagging every joke in a three minute joke becomes a five minute joke
And a five minute joke becomes a 12 minute joke
And then the next time you do you you're set
You're thinking about how you did it the last time so you're in your head
And then your three minute joke that became a five minute joke now becomes a one minute joke
And you burn through an hour material in 17 minutes and you're on stage going what the fuck happened
Anyways, those are the two perfect things. So anyways, then he goes downstairs
And he walks out on stage and just sits down
he has like a
You can't even see it. It's like this clear
mic
That almost like he would be like typing into on on a keyboard
So it's hands-free kind of thing and he sits down almost like a catcher
And he's just like like he's sitting down on a stoop
And just does like an hour, you know, he was only doing like there was a number of comics that were on it
um
But he just sits down and
Like he did 30 years ago when I saw him or whatever the hell it was
Yeah, it was 30 years ago. Just absolutely
Just total command of the crowd
I've never seen anything like it
But there was so many people backstage talking and that type of thing
That um, I still have to go see that guy live because I hear they said when he did his special
He did two shows both 90 minutes both all different material
And I brought that up to him when I was talking to him real quickly
I still can't believe I'm I'm saying this. Yeah when I was talking to bill cosby and he said, uh
And he just was humble. He goes well, you know, I've been doing this for like
50 years
I I should have that much material when you think and it's just like
Yeah, but it's that's all relevant
You know
Don't you have any topical stuff that you have to throw on it's just unbelievable. So, um
He's torn he's out there
he's
part of one of the last ones
From a generation that taught the rest of us how to do it. So if he comes to your town, I can't recommend it enough to go out
and go see that guy, but uh
Yeah, so that was my week
You know
That doesn't suck does
I don't think so, um
So what else did I do? Let's talk about some of the shit I did with uh new jersey zone paul versey
You know, I'm actually rooting against the giants not because I hate him
But because paul versey said when they were 0 and 6 that they were going to go on a run. Remember I said that
You know, I got a feeling you know, they they they could turn you know
So I it's not that I don't want to see the giants go on a run. It's just I don't want to listen to paul
Tell me that he called it
For the next six years
Okay, the fact that he's still talking about cano and all that I don't need another thing him going like
Ah, like when we're both like when I'm 60 and he's 50. I don't want to be listening to him talking about the
2013 regular fucking season
That they could go on a run and blah blah blah and also
Just having watched the giants, you know
When against the patriots in the super bowl twice when the patriots had him
And they let him off the hook now
I'm not taking away from the giants because the giants still had to fucking deliver and jesus christ did they
And they all stepped up and they all made a play where we didn't
Where santa samuels dropped a fucking interception
You know and we brady to welker six yards fucking completion
That would have gone for a first down and the game is over and you leave the door open for them
They are just a blessed team the fact that you can go 0 and 6
Okay, and then win your next two games and only be two games out
In a 16 game season. Um, they have a horseshoe
Buried so far up their fucking ass like they literally they could actually win their division
starting 0 and 6 starting 0 and 6 as a football team
Is basically that would be like losing your first 50 games
As a baseball team going like 0 and 50
Okay, because what 0 and 8 is half the season so 0 and 6 I can't I'm not doing the math
I can't even do the map. We'll say that's 40 percent of the season. There's 162 games
That's 40 we're gonna go 40 and 4 that's that's like losing your first 70
Ah, gee, I don't fucking know. It's like losing a bunch of fucking games and then somehow not only
Do you go on a run you like you win your division?
It's insane
Wait to the cowboys win last night. I got to look it up. I started watching that dr. J
Documentary they were playing the saints. I'm gonna guess no
Saints at home
Let's see cowboys
Saints this is entertaining right listening to some douchebag look up a score
And I'm gonna say the saints won
Jesus did they ever 49 17 what the fuck so now they're five and five
Now I'll fuck this I got to look it up. Dude. This is fucking hilarious
nfl
Let's get me to nfl.com
Official website standings here we go standings. What are they a game up now?
The Giants are three and six
So that that that two out that two games back that's fucking hilarious
They're actually tied with the redskins the washington redskins. You want to be ashamed of yourselves
You want to be ashamed of yourselves?
Jesus christ
They went 0 and 6
The Giants went 0 and 6 and it only took them nine games to catch you. Oh, wow, that's depressing. We're already nine games into this fucking season
Ah
Fuck it just doesn't it just goes by too fast. It's already november
Unbelievable but thank god there's hockey and I'm actually kind of into the end of the NBA this year
um
I don't know but it's it's very hard to to stay up on both those leagues because there's so many games and they play
Like that their seasons just completely overlap each other
Have you noticed that this baseball football like people are either baseball football basketball or baseball football hockey
um
You know if you're going to go if you're going to try to watch as much as you can
And then you throw in the golf and you got to watch wimbledon, right?
I mean, no wonder the years are flying by and your wife has that angry look on her face
You know, it's it's just flying. Oh another one. You guys got to watch watch the pat summer all documentary
A football life on pat summer all that's another one
Just uh, just amazing, you know and made me feel good about my drinking considering the way they people used to go back in the day
um
Dude the last Super Bowl I forget the guy it was before my time
That pat summer all was paired up with before john madden
um
It was just like an open joke that they used to go out boozing
Like kind of like in a d martin kind of way
See pat summer all
Um broadcast team broadcast partner there we go. Let's see if I can find it
Now tom brookshire was that the guy's name
Yeah, I think it was tom brookshire and they actually
Before super bowl 13 the second time the cowboys and the Steelers met up
They came on the air and both looked like shit and talked about how they'd been there since tuesday
The game was on sunday or something how they'd been there since tuesday and how they felt like they had been there for
There for nine years and were just basically openly admitting that they were fucking hung over and felt like shit
It was insane. So those those are two documentaries to watch
um, oh by the way
Had a great great fucking time when I was in philly
um
Whenever I drive to philly down from new york by the time I get into philadelphia. I absolutely fucking hate the city
I just hate the fact that you just can't seem to get off the goddamn jersey turnpike
You gotta I always take that exit five. I always take the wrong one. I gotta weave my way through like 12 suburban towns
Going by a goddamn gazebo to go to a major city
It's a major city. You got four major fucking teams. I don't understand why they don't have some fucking through way
Where I can continue to drive 70 miles an hour and get to philly in no time whatsoever. I know i'm taking the wrong one
I should take that one. That's the 30 that you go over the ben franklin bridge
But I went over that that other one exit five. We end up going over like that fucking footbridge
um
Then you're pissed and you get there and it's like 12 one ways and going in the same direction
Then another one going the other way and you're like my hotel's right fucking there
How do I get to it and you're pissed?
But then you see mitchell and nests and all the great food and then you're walking around you have a great time
so anyways
Um, we went and we did the shows at the tower theater
crowds were awesome
now i'm just fucking awesome and um
Oh, and you know what was awesome too was some woman came to my came came to the first show and as I was walking off stage
like
Handed me a loaf of pumpkin bread
because I uh
I mentioned I was talking shit about how good my pumpkin bread was so she hands me this loaf of pumpkin bread
as i'm getting off stage
and i'm laughing like
Like because I know why she gave it to me and i'm walking upstairs and she has it wrapped very professionally like
She has cellophane around it and then she has this plastic bag over that with the twisty a twist tie
And now i'm going upstairs and I walk by the guy I go look at somebody maybe some pumpkin bread
And you know, there's no barcode on it. There's no governmental shit. This stuff has not gone through any sort of
Stuff whatsoever. So i'm literally I say to the the guy backstage. I go
Do you got any you got a rat problem back here?
Can I feed a piece of this to a rat and just see what happens to the rat?
I'll get a little food testing before I bite into this make sure there's no weed in it or any shit like that
and um
And whatever so I went upstairs and I was just like I got to try it
And uh, I hope the person who made it is is listening. It was fucking outstanding
outstanding
I'm not going to say it was better than mine
That's like saying cosby's better than prior our pumpkin breads are both coexisting in that stratosphere
and it would just really be
a a
It would just be a personal personal preference. I gotta tell you um
Whoever made it made it and handed it to me. It was outstanding verzi had some too
And was like it's like I couldn't throw it out actually paul took it home to his family
So I hope the drugs or whatever you did to it aren't in the middle of it because he has kids
But it was fucking delicious. So thank you very much for that
It's very nice of you. Um and speaking of battling, which is better
My pumpkin bread your pumpkin bread. All right, you're in philly
You don't live there or even if you do live there. How do you end a great night?
come on
You got to go to geno's or pats for this fucking steak and cheeses, right?
And I'm sure the people in philly. Oh fuck both those places are fucking tourist trap
You need to go to uncle fuck. He's over here. Well, whatever for an out-of-town guy. That's what I did
so I go down there and
For as he's going. So what should we do? Should we do pats or geno's and I'm like, well, fuck it. Why don't we go?
We'll get one of each then we'll cut them in half and we'll we'll you know
trade
Mix and match do a little surf and turf and see which one we like better
So of course we go what we go to pats first and we order it
And it's just one giant fucking steak and cheese sub and they don't have even have a plastic knife
Feed to cut it up. All they have is a spoon for I don't know what you get cheese fries or something
So first he's got to tear it in half and I go over to uh
We're standing in line at geno's. I'm eating half a one of uh
Pats right?
I got one wit is what we got and dude. It was fucking delicious
Fucking delicious. So then I go to the uh
geno's place
Same deal. We ordered another one
And as I go up there
I I know I I'd been there before but I never noticed the sign there
on geno's where it says, uh
He's got two signs one says I'm mad as hell. I want my country back
And it's a picture of the uh the original owner. I really don't want to fuck this up joey vento
and it's a picture of him
basically on
With a picture of just the lower 48. I love how he blows off alaska in hawai
He wants his country back
and then below that
there's a picture
that says, uh
Uh, this is america
when ordering speak english
And I was just like jesus christ man. That's like some old school
bronx tail
archie bunkers shit
and
I saw it and I was like I was who's funny to me because there was this table of like five latino people standing around
speaking spanish or whatever
Eating the food and i'm like wow that is a testament to how good your fucking food is
where you can just like openly insult somebody
like that and um
Well, I guess they spoke english too because they did order. I don't fucking know. I'm just saying
That your food is so good that you could be like insulting that much openly insulting and uh
People still order it. So I looked it up and there's this whole thing where this guy joey vento's son
Um, um, joey vento passed away
And uh, his son took over the business and I guess it was this guy's dying wish
To keep the speak english sign of gino still up there. I'll read you the article real quickly here. Uh
It said last week, uh
eatery philly ran a photo of rapper buster rimes hanging out at gino steaks in south philly
This was all well and good
But what really caught our interest was an update to the item explaining that the speak english sign
Is still being proudly displayed at gino's because it preserves
Because its preservation was what late owner joey vento
Jesus christ i'm sorry guys because its preservation was late owner joey vento's dying wish gino recently
Retained neph associates the same public relation firm that began handling the joes
Oh, yeah, the joes vs chinks racist cheesesteak drama
Oh, this is a pr firm
neph pr director kyle flat explains the gino sign situation in an email today
Uh, he says as you know geno's is under new management since the passing of joey vento
Gino vento joey's openly gay son is the new owner and operator
And i think it's important to inform you that he does not share all of the polarizing views his father was famous for
I think it's also important for you to know that we
ever tamed
joe steaks
Blah blah blah blah
Whatever i guess it was this guy's dying wish his dad's dying wish was to keep it up there
So his son sort of caught in the middle
um
I don't know it's actually an intro almost like an interesting piece of history
Where they have like colored bathroom only we just kind of see
How far we've come yet haven't come that far i don't know it was it was pretty takes a lot to kind of
Shock me i was just like
Jesus christ and then i felt like well fuck this place i don't want to eat here
i'll just eat at the other place
And um, i just heard well that's owned by the same family
I don't know for the record i like pats better on that night
So it might be one of those nights where any given night there, but they're both absolutely delicious
So then i had to look up this the joes vs chinks racist cheesesteak drama
So, uh
I look up this one
By the way, all of this shit is making me feel much better about being from the boston area because we seem to get
Like other than the south like when you talk about racist cities in the north people always talk about boston
and
I guess there was a place that's now called like joes steaks and whatever
um
Oh, Jesus, what the fuck is the thing?
Where's the article here?
Okay, philly is renaming a cheesesteak shop that used to be called chinks
um, all right
philadelphia capital city of the united states is a is great at many things
It's great at being within a relatively short drive
Unfortunately two topics it is yet to master are race relations and nuance
um
Which is why its residents are freaking out that a philly cheesesteak shop known since 1949 as chinks steaks
Has just changed its name to joes steaks and soda shop
Chinks was names for its original owner
Whose name wasn't chink
But who boy did he look like one according to his grade school classmates?
um, the philadelphia inquire notes that the late samuel chink sherman
So some guy named sam chairman had almond shaped eyes. So everybody called him chink
Uh folks in the shops neighborhood understand why someone somewhere at some point maybe could be could find the well-known racial slur
Inappropriate, but they stopped just short of admitting that it actually is
And because nothing flavors meet like a couple of decades of
racism
They they're pissed that chinks no longer exist
um
Here's a sampling of some of the best lines of complaints
Uh back then ethnic slurs slipped off the tongue as smoothly as melted american cheese
Um cracker barrel hasn't had to change their name. I mean that could be made into a racist thing
um
Others said the passing of chinks symbolized the neighborhood's decline
Uh if the shop had been named with the slur against blacks that would be offensive said
terrell jenkins a 44 year old african american man, but chinks
chink was a nickname
It could have been a term of endearment
See that's the one thing that i've learned about travel. It's just people just give a shit about themselves
So there's an african american guy. You think he'd have empathy. He doesn't give a fuck. It's not coming in his direction
So he's ah, you know, it could have been a term of endearment. It sounds like a white dude at that point
You know what that reminds me of that reminds me of uh back in the day
One of those
You know england they have that stupid royalty these kings and queens and duches and dukes and they just
All this pomp and circumstance. I guess they don't make any decisions over there
But god knows I haven't really run read up on it. So what the fuck do I know?
But anyways, they had some sort of polo club over there
And there was some middle eastern guy who was a member and I think he was one of the only middle eastern guys everybody else was these
You know blue blood guys that all you know then sestuous fucking so they all have weird ears and fucked up looking faces
just like prince charles, you know
and um
Their nickname for him was sooty
They called him sooty
So that got out and the pakestanian guy whatever the hell his name whatever ethnicity he was he said like oh no
It was a term of endearment. I don't mind
I just love like that's such like
a
blue blood
Rothschild level like
Sooty
you know
Like the soot from the chimney from the giant fireplace
In your fucking manner
You know no one thinks about soot anymore. First of all most houses don't even have fireplaces anymore
You can't even use them unless you buy an old one that's grandfathered in you know, then they have these old fucking
Whatever whatever the next style house up from a manner is you know that one that they shoot it from the air
And it looks like a public library except the grounds are so fucking gorgeous
All the hedgerows to quote led zeppelin if there's something in your hedgerow
So anyway, so I was just fascinating for me to read this like
I don't know it just just reminded me this was like 1950s level
sort of racism like
Like they're reading just shit and it's kind of being in that environment. I was surprised that there weren't some people
With their hair greased back standing around a like burning trash can singing doo-wop
Had a very bronx tail
Sort of vibe to it. So
But having said that those racist sons of bitches make some great food
They really do and uh, I've only ate there one time
So I'm not going to pass judgment other than to say my experience that night
Pat's
Pat's got the leg up
All right, but that's a divisional rivalry. So they play each other twice in one season
So I got to go back and have another game down there
It was fucking delicious and I don't regret a second of putting that poison into my body. The fucking bread was delicious
The cheese was all of that toxic horrific shit that my body is probably still trying to process and decide where it should put it in my body
um
I'm telling you right now. I would do it again tonight and I just had it two nights ago. It was fucking
Delicious. So thumbs up on the cuisine
Thumbs down on the ignorant thought
But uh leaving the sign up
Um, I definitely think the name of the place if it's racist it should you should get rid of it
But there was something about leaving the sign up
that um
I don't know to me I looked at more it as like a museum
Like this was the guy
And he was beloved in the neighborhood yet. He thought this way
He had another he had another sign that they actually took down and said real americans. Don't press number two
Which was a reference to you know, if you'd like english press one
A primo numero dos, you know, there's always this the fucking uh prima, whatever the fuck they say, uh
Is the spanish
That one to me was actually funny
I don't condone it or whatever, but it was at least it was at least clever sort of racism
I just love that whole philosophy, you know, give me that I want my country back
And that's the same fucking guy that if a native american came up
You know instead I want my country back
Like, you know, this guy would immediately go into some sort of I would imagine
I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I imagine he would go on some sort of fucking rant
about how
Native americans were savages
You know
As we systematically fucking wiped them out like a bunch of fucking savages. So whatever it was really interesting. It was delicious food
Okay, let's let's get to some uh

You know and I just have to say nick sabin just

The way his players played and all that and it's absolutely devastating you fucking cunts
All right, there you happy
Okay, should I say yes bill i'm a 16 year old virgin guy from texas and really want to go balls deep in a snatch before college
Jesus christ rub one out before you text me next time
Or email me um homecoming is in a week and this girl who I talked to a lot last year doesn't have a date because her date didn't
Want to pay the 150 bucks. All right. You got yourself a wounded bird things are looking good so far
Uh when this year started we we haven't talked and I've never texted her. I don't know where she texted me
I didn't even have her number immediately. I knew it was going to be about homecoming because it was all about
People we were talking about uh that we oh
Because it was all people we were
Talking about that week. She asked me to go with she asked me to go with her
But in a way that made me think she was using me so that she doesn't go alone
Yeah, there is a bit of that
She's definitely desperate
You know you kind of like the third string quarterback
And they both went down so they're sticking you in there
So I know what you're saying is she gonna let me throw the deep ball or am I just gonna have to go in there and take a fucking knee
Right or hand it off
Go in the eye formation of the wishbone
Anyways, he said there's a pretty good chance. I would get laid if I went I told her I think
That I would think about it then she offered to pay
For the mum and the food
What is the mum does she really want to go with me?
Should I say yes and the host hopes that I get to slam her cunt
You know dude, I really can't figure you out
It's like you're acting like a virgin by not saying yes to this layup and then you're just really talking about her
In a really disrespectful way this girl is an angel
All right, the fact that she's gonna give it up to a fucking
16 year old virgin show a little bit of respect
But you might be also this might be your insecurity that you are a virgin
So you're trying to talk really aggressively
About something that you might have a little bit of fear about I have no idea
Look, this is what you should do if you're gonna go with this girl be a fucking sweetheart
All right, make her laugh fucking dance her around the dance floor. I have a great goddamn time
And if the opportunity presents itself have at it
All right, but that's how you go into it
I mean, she's already paying for it. What kind of a fucking man. I mean, I guess you're a pimp at this point
Um a pimp virgin. You don't see that very often
Whatever you're doing it seems to be working, but I just to have a little more respect for it. That's all I'm saying
All right, go in there have a good time
all right
What's that? What is that? What's that John Madden speech that Joe Bartnick
Always quotes tonight today will be the greatest day of your life
But only if you win
So good luck man, I hope you I hope you win
All right, there you go
But be respectful
God damn it. All right car purchase process
Hey there bill mcredbeard in balls
mcredbeard in balls. I like that. It's kind of like a law firm
um
Love the podcast and love the stand-up have tickets to see you in dc tonight. Well, I hope you enjoyed the show
I had a I had a phenomenal time
Um, he said my question is about your car purchase process
When you bought your Prius, did you do it in so did you do it celebrity style?
And send one of your cronies with a Scrooge mcduck style money bag over
Oh to the dealership then have it delivered to your place or did you go in old old school and negotiate face to face?
Were you one of those assholes who bicker over a hundred dollars?
Or did you just buy the whole shebang and make some poor sap sales guys day?
I asked because I've been selling cars for 10 years
I find that the people who dicker over the smallest amount of money are usually the most miserable
Consturing and after the sale while the people who pay the most are the happiest customers
I'm happiest customers. I have and send me all their friends and family
Uh fellow ginger and sleazy car salesman. Um, all right, so you own up to it that you're robbing those people
I tried to uh
I tried to haggle over the price
And uh, I was buying the Prius
When gas prices were like forced forced something a gallon back in like 2007
So they couldn't keep those things on the lot. So I was just like this is my offer take it or leave it
And they're like, well, we're gonna leave it and I'm like I'm walking out
I'm out of here and they're like, all right. See you
I needed a car and I was renting one
That was the thing if I had another car if I actually had a car that I could drive away with instead of a rental
That was costing me money. So I just said, all right, fuck it
Um, I'll just pay I'll just pay it and I'll go do some more stand-up gigs
um
But just personally speaking if you can't knock any money off of the car
Just because you know that they are fucking you over
um
You know
One of my buddies does it the best and he is also a salesman and he looks down on car salesman. He looks at you guys
Like like hack comedians as far as like being salesman. He thinks you're the lowest of the low now. Listen, that's not my
Thought that's just his
He just calls them up and says the car that he wants
And the price that he's gonna pay
And he says i'm calling four other dealerships. Uh, you have till noon to get back to me
He does it something like that and they get back to him and he gets it
For the price that he wants because it's a guaranteed sale. He's like i'm buying a car today and
These dealerships they can't resist that so I oversimplified it because I don't i'm not
totally, um
You know informed on
I always forget how it goes down so I can't intelligently
Present what the fuck it is that he does but that's the way he does it. Um, but anyways, i'm actually
You know thinking about um
Buying nia a nice car. So if any car salesman out there
could give me some tips
And present the ins and outs about how much they do mark because you know
I've heard a lot of stuff like the sales slip on the side of the car the car the price up at the top
Is what the dealership pays and that the dealership doesn't pay for any of the options and that type of thing
Which doesn't seem right to me. I feel like they must get a discount on the options
What is the discount and I also know that they need to make money
So
What's a good
Let's just say if i'm going to go buy a $30,000 car
All right
And if I look at the the sheet it's it came in at 22
Or 24 just say 24 and it's got six grand worth of fucking options or something like that
I don't I don't even know if those numbers make sense
If your car salesman like
Where should I be should I be in the middle of that? Should I be at 24?
Um
Where should I be let me know and I'll read it on to other people. All right
So I guess and to answer your question
Um, I was the guy who just kind of paid. I'm not a miserable cunt as much as I sound like it. I'm actually a really uh
I'm a pretty happy guy, but you know talking about how happy you are on fucking stage
I mean it's not really going to be funny. So if I talk about my frustrations and my fears and my shortcomings, you know
Yeah, that's where the comedy is. All right, there you go. All right. That was a twofer. All right human farming
Billy beer balls
Um, have you heard of the concept of human farming?
It really makes a lot of sense instead of primitive forms of slavery
The population works and and produces for the elite class
The quality of life is terrible because the ends to the means of working is really just to service a higher system
You have no idea you're a part of this video summarizes it really well
Uh sleep well, so I actually went to go look at this thing this human farming and
I understand what they're saying
But they as always, you know
They don't seem to I didn't watch the whole video, but it's like in the 13 minutes are they really going to give me a solution
um
and it also
First of all the guy
narrating it
Might be the most arrogant cunt
I've ever heard in my life
I can't even I'll click on it right now if you if you want
You know, he's just like, you know, a lot of people might be confused
Hang on hang on hang on. Ah, Jesus Christ. I got to get through the dodged orango commercial here
14 seconds. You know, he's basically going like
You know, some people get get confused and look at the government as it's this thing that's helping them out
Blah blah blah blah blah. Are you beginning to understand the cage that you were put in? Listen to this guy
And how you can finally
Be free
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Wait. Let me let me let me let me get back to the beginning here
This is the story of your enslavement
How it came to be
And how you can finally
Be free
Like all animals human beings want to dominate and exploit the resources around them
All right, so that's the tone this guy takes let's get a little bit further
Into this thing here we go occupation throughout history
And it is now reaching its destructive climax
Human society cannot be rationally understood until it is seen for what it is
A series of farms where human farmers own human livestock
Some people get confused
Oh, shit. I pulled it away there. Some people get confused. Listen to this shit. Listen to this talking down to you
Some people get confused because governments provide healthcare and water and education and roads
And thus imagine that there is some benevolence at work
Nothing could be further from the reality
All right, so then he breaks it down and then in the end he goes are you beginning to understand
The cage that you were in
And he keeps going some people get confused. It's like dude. I'm not fucking confused
All right, you arrogant cunt you sound
Like you're up your own ass you sound like you're sitting on top of the fucking pyramid
All right, you know what this this type of shit does that it doesn't take into consideration
It doesn't take into consideration
mouth-breathing
fucking morons
That whole philosophy that why does this guy have this much and this guy has this much that it's always the rich guy is
Evil and manipulative and undeserving. I know this is shocking to hear from me the way I go off on bankers
But I'm really going off on the system of banking when I'm doing that but like, you know, don't you guys have some fucking friends?
That you know, they go to work, but they they have no direction
They have no plan and they just sit around bitch moaning complaining about their fucking life
You know
And they feel like they did they have like this sense of entitlement that they just fucking deserve shit
Because well, why should this guy be rich and I shouldn't it's because maybe because he's smarter than you maybe busted his fucking ass
Maybe you sit around smoking fucking weed or boozing it up all day. Like there's no personal responsibility
That's what I don't like about this thing. There's no like
You know
It's just 100% these people who are running shit are 100% fucking evil and that all these people who are enslaved
Are all good people now. I'm not saying that, you know
There aren't absolutely brilliant fucking people but because of their lot in life
They ended up in a sweatshop in El Salvador. I'm not saying that but what I'm saying is everybody in that sweatshop
You know
Is not a fucking
I don't know what it's not it's you know, there's some mouth-breathing morons in there
And this is where that's a bad example because I'm not condoning sweatshop labor either
But I'm just saying go to a fucking sporting event like I did and just be stone sober
They just sit around and look at the fucking people
Okay, look at this shit. They're eating. Look at this shit. They're drinking. Look at their behavior
Look at their clothes are hanging off their fat fucking asses
And I know
The food supply is poisoned and I know that there's a bunch of fucking lies and all that type of shit
But is there any effort on the part of that individual?
To try to squeegee in front of their fucking eyes, or do they just accept it? And if you do just accept it
You know, then how do I feel bad for you?
Okay
And I haven't said that
You know racism all that stuff about, you know, you're a third world country. I don't condone any of that shit
I don't condone sweatshop labor. I don't condone. I you should pay fucking people and they should
You know, they should they should be able to live comfortably
all right
Obviously, I think that I don't condone that geno steak shit. Hey, this is america's me fucking english
I don't condone any of that type of shit, but I don't
I don't also go to that so liberal where it's just like oh look at that drug dealer
If he had
The same opportunities I had why he would be a doctor or a lawyer. It's like, oh, why wouldn't he work at enron?
Or be a piece of shit banker. Why wouldn't he continue his scumbaggery?
Why when he becomes in my situation does he then become an angel? I grew up in a suburb
There was cul-de-sacs in my neighborhood. I sucked at math
I
Didn't become a doctor or a lawyer. I tried to I was too fucking stupid
So I don't go into that pie in the sky and I just can't get past this guy's fucking
Pregnant pauses
Some people are confused. It's like dude. Maybe you're fucking confused. Do you have a better idea?
Do you have a better fucking system? I'm sure you do and let me guess in your fantasy that you don't have to fucking put to a test
So it's never so it can't be criticized because it's not been implemented. Let me guess it all works out
We're all fucking arm and arm
And racism goes away and everybody has a nice pair of fucking loafers as they walk out to get their newspaper
That was delivered by a paper boy who now makes 80 grand a year, right?
I don't fucking know whatever watch it now that you're you're polluted with my fucking thought on it
Some people are confused confused some people look at the government and think that there's some sort of benevolence going on
Just the fact that he uses benevolence, you know
Making me feel stupid
What does benevolent mean? Is that some sort of fucking?
I'm doing something for you. You know, I should look it up. Let's look it up b e and b nevo
Oh, Jesus just disappeared after the v
He gave up on me like well, I can't be trying to hit he can't be trying to spell that word
Okay
Benevolence let's go with the the the webster's dictionary
A disposition to do good an act of kindness a generous gift a compulsory levy
By certain English kings with no authority
Then the claim of prerogative. Well, Jesus it takes a left turn on definition number three, doesn't it?
All right, so I think he's using it in the first or second
I disposition to do good
Um, I don't fucking who the fuck knows all right
Anyways, let's let's move on here before we try and solve the world's problems. You can go ahead and watch it if you want
All right naked picture situation
A sports illustrated. I like that one. It wasn't really insulting
Um, oh by the way, the Celtics were 0 and 4 before they won their first game
So I immediately started looking at the draft for next year
And which I haven't done in the nba
I think ever being a hockey guy
And I have to tell you I was absolutely fucking shocked
to see that the top 10 draft picks
Projected next year eight of them are freshmen eight out of 10 of freshmen and the other two are sophomores like
It's such a tragedy that these guys can come out early
It just I'm being selfish as a sports fan because I know that they have
You know a lot of people like it's a money situation
They got to come out to come from a poor family or just a logical thing where
I'm going to risk blowing out my knee playing ball for free or I can go to the nba now and get a million dollars
I know it's a no-brainer, but you know just back in the day
He got to watch four years
You know of a patrick you win or a ralph samson
A keemalize one you saw those big men like their their
College careers overlapping each other and the next great ones and you're thinking oh, wow, maybe you can win a championship by the time
He's a senior or something like that and just to see like the fact that the junior and senior classes have just been so rated
By the nba draft that there's not a junior or a senior
He even projected in the top 10 and you're basically going to draft a fucking teenager to try to turn the boston Celtics around
By the way, i'm ordering the nba package
I'm like this is when I step up as a fan not when they're good not when they buy a title
But when they suck a bag of fucking dicks, that's when I i'm going to sit there and watch them rise up from the ashes
Okay naked picture situation. Hey bill bill. Hey sports illustrated. I'm in need of some advice, sir
Um, I have a naked picture situation on my hands although it may not necessarily be what you're thinking
Well, I'd see the you or
Your girlfriend
I would guess uh, he goes so there's this girl
This lady that went to the same graduate school as me and this girl was a real cunt
Dude, don't do this if you have a naked picture of her. Don't do it. He goes. We're talking pure evil
She was in school to be a producer and she managed to alienate and demean every single person that ever worked with her
She was manipulative and awful to everyone. Oh, it sounds like she's gonna have a successful career
She gets into corporate america. All I'm hearing here is corner office
um
She was manipulative and awful to everyone
Even her boyfriend who she emasculated constantly even in front of his friends. Well, that's on him
Walk out the door. What's she gonna do give you a suplex go fuck yourself
I got a hand and a world full of pussy. I don't need you anymore lady
Um, now before I continue, I should probably say that I realized almost immediately how evil this girl was
So I always kept my distance and never associated with her in any way
Uh, so that this isn't personal
Now let's get to the issue at hand. Okay, so he's painted her as completely evil
And he's painted himself as being this even killed rational person. I like this. It's almost as though he wrote the email
Um, now let's get to the issue at hand. I happen to be
Perusing the internet one day in the manner that all men do
Oh, aren't you an eloquent little cunt?
huh
You mean looking at fucking porn
Look at you dancing around this. I'm you know, I'm starting to think that this woman is innocent
And you're actually evil person as you continue to try to paint yourself as a fucking hero who's a member of a polo club
You're rubbing one out. You filthy fucking animal
Uh, I'm not judging you. I do it too
Happily big grin on my face waving at the government and as I rub one out
As I as I actually as I bust a nut I say into the camera that I can't see that's watching me
It's okay. I didn't want to run for office. Anyways, I say that as I have an organ as I have a uh orgasm
I can't even talk this week. Um, anyways
He said in the manner that all men do and I happen to come across some naked selfies that this girl took
On one of those tumblers devoted to uh, that kind of thing if you're curious
Now my question is without trying to sound like an evil scumbag
Uh, probably too late. Should I do anything with them?
I could probably give a lot
Of closure and satisfaction by sending them out to the people she's fucked over in the pad. Wait, is it's this girl?
Oh that this girl took
Okay
Um
Wow
So she treats people like that
During the day and at night she takes naked selfies of herself
Um
All right, I know this girl. I know this kind of girl
All right, okay
Here we go. Let's let's just try to pick this back up this this girl. She's she's like, uh, yeah
She's like that fucking wall street guy that's stealing money and night needs to go to a hooker with a fucking orange ball in his mouth
You need so I think this girl is uh, oh, maybe well, maybe this is like a narcissistic thing
Is she taking pictures of herself like she's just this piece of meat or she's trying to look hot?
The human fucking psyche man, it's just that it's fucking insane
You know
I'm not judging either because I'm out of my fucking mind too. All right, let's
Let's continue here
I'm one of those. This is a really great email. There's so many fucking levels to this you guys
I can't tell who's out of their mind here her or or you're like
Or you're out of your mind and this girl actually shot you down because you want to take her out for a cup of coffee
um
Should I do anything with them? I could probably give a lot of closure and satisfaction by sending them out to the people
She's fucked over in the past to be clear. I would never do this with someone's pictures that were meant
privately for me
But these were already posted publicly online
By her or someone else should I anonymously send out a link to people or just kind of laugh quietly to myself about the whole thing
And keep it under wraps any advice would be appreciated
Well, what you're doing as far as like justifying your your role in this if you were to do it that they were already up there
Is kind of like the drug dealer saying like well if I didn't sell the drug someone else would
um
So
I think you shouldn't do anything
And I don't think I don't know why
Um
I don't know why like what am I trying to say here
Like what what do you think is funny about them?
I mean, what is the big deal if somebody wants to put some naked photos of themselves up there?
They like themselves. They think they look good. I don't understand why it's considered like nudity and that type of thing is considered that way
um
I mean if she's doing a porno, I can see then why she can't get a fucking
Job at johnson and johnson, but you know, she's got some naked photos who gives a fuck
She's probably the
Best shape of her life, you know, I mean personally, I wouldn't do it. Who the fuck wants to look at me naked? Jesus
What a fuck that actually disgusted me
So anyways, uh, you know what do don't do that man, you're just gonna you're getting drawn into her fucking world
Okay, that if that woman is the way you painted her out to be she has a bunch of issues and the best
Kind of guy she's ever going to attract is some ballless fucking spineless jackass that she's not going to respect
um
If I had a guess she's a woman who needs a guy to tell her what's what
And fucking uh, you know put a hurt in honor
You know in the bedroom
She needs to be face down in the pillows being told what the fuck to do
She's got some sort of fucking issue man, but you know, just be happy. You're not going to work for her
She's out of your life. Okay, and she's you know, and if she walks around treating people like that, she's never going to really
develop
Lasting relationships meaningful relationships
She's not going to have people in her life that would step out in front of a bus for
You know, so she's never going to get the full human experience. I feel like that is
enough of a punishment
You don't need to go in there and like that that's really like a uh, I don't know
A vengeance thing is very seventh grade girl, and I think you're above that just you know
Just leave him alone and continue to jerk off to him you fucking creep
I'm not gonna lie to you. I would too. I'm not judging you. Welcome. Welcome to my level
All right, french revolution and bankers
Uh, hi there billy bandwagon
I've been a fan of the monday morning podcast for a while now and you were on a crab
You were on the crab fee
podcast. Oh, yeah with jay
On the all things comedy network everybody he said it reminded me of something pre revolution france was almost identical to the way the
us is now
Oh god, I hate when people keep predicting the
Demise of this country like they're giving us some sort of insight like people in this country can't see it coming
All right. I'm not saying every mouth breathing moron sees it coming. Well, you know anybody who has
Any sort of intelligence we see it coming. Okay
All right there mr. Fucking rubbing your goddamn chin
Um, actually, he's probably an american too
Um, all right france in 1787
Had grinding poverty tax inequality and was nearly bankrupt from the seven years war
Uh, and then he writes familiar
Question mark. Uh, i'm not even gonna read this fucking thing. You're already so up your own ass
Wow, I never looked at it that way. Wait, does history repeat itself? Gee, you're really on to something here, sir
Good fucking lord, you know, what's funny about this type of shit is this probably isn't even this person's thought
They're probably just regurgitating something else that they've read from a website, which I do all the fucking time
I do the exact same thing you're doing here, sir, except I don't go familiar
Some people some people are confused. Why can't people just present a fucking
An opinion without like patting themselves on the back about how fucking smart they are all the time
You know, you're a fucking moron just like me. Okay, I'm gonna read this and I'm gonna I'm gonna skip over
Familiar does that ring a bell pot calling the kettle
Ah with your fucking smokin jacket your cunt. All right, here we go. Jesus fucking christ
All right
He goes familiar it should be the modern us
actually has worths
Wealth and tax inequality than 1787 france and even pre fall of rome. Dude. This is all old shit
I've already heard this theory a zillion times before you present it
And you know, and I'm not gonna fucking read this and get all fucking depressed because I understand this
This is why I got out of conspiracy theory and just got a dog
And I'm sitting here watching the bread and circus of fucking sports like I never have before
Because there's no way out of this rather than present this shit to me
I want you to write back to me and give me your solution
You give me the fucking solution rather than pointing out the fucking obvious as you rub your goddamn chin
all right
Jesus fucking christ. All right. Sorry. I was having such a great goddamn day. Jeez. We're an hour and a half in here
I'm a lawnmine lawnmine did uh

Even if it isn't true. I love it
Um, it focuses on the community's refusal to have a dangerous pipeline running through their village
It shows the vicious brutality of the cops against the protesters and in particular five men who go so
Who go so far as to serve time in prison to get justice dude those guys are saints
That's when you are committed
