Hey, what's going on?
It's Bill Byrne.
It's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday.
Sorry for Thursday.
No, it isn't.
It's not the Monday.
It's a Thursday afternoon just before Friday,
Monday morning podcast and just checking it on you.
I'm just checking in on you.
How you doing?
What are you?
What are you done today?
Did you watch the news?
Did you fill your head up with all the fucking craziness
on the news?
Isn't it great watching the news?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, I'm waking up.
I'm feeling good.
You know what?
Let's turn on the news.
Why would you put on the fucking news?
What are you going to see?
Are you going to see an accurate portrayal
of what's going on?
Stick your head out the fucking window.
Look at your neighbor.
Hey, buddy.
How you doing?
Look at him.
He's coming out to his car with his little brown sack
with his fucking lunch in it.
Huh?
Is he saluting Hitler?
You know?
Is he got a bomb strapped around his waist?
Is he got a mosquito on his head that's biting him
and so he has babies with little heads?
Jesus fucking Christ.
The goddamn hysteria.
The hysteria that these news organizations, social media,
and all of this shit has created,
you just need, I'm fucking walking away, man.
I'm walking away.
I'm done.
I don't need to know what's going on.
I don't need to be informed, okay?
Because walking around in a constant state
of fucking hysteria is,
I don't think that that is being informed
when my reality, my day to day,
is I get in a car, I drive to a building,
and I write dialogue for cartoon characters.
Occasionally, I get to play drums.
I do stand up, I hang out with my wife,
and is that my daughter in there?
Right, I hang out with my daughter, and that's it.
But I put on the news, and I will literally think
that there's a glacier melting right above me
that's gonna drown me.
Polar bears are gonna swim in and eat me
with fucking bomb strapped around their fucking waist.
Everybody fucking relax, fucking relax.
And all these people fucking going on there,
and they're just so and so, got on TV
and told Trump supporters,
I love these people that like, you know,
on these fucking news channels, they go on
and they fucking, you know, give the other side
a piece of their mind as if the other side even sees it.
They're too busy like watching their own shit.
And even if they see your shit, you're not gonna sway them.
I had equated to all those years I lived in New York City
as a Boston Red Sox fan.
During that time, I didn't have money for the baseball package,
so I used to watch the Yes Network.
I always watched Yankee home games, always.
Home and away, whatever.
I rooted against them the entire time I watched them.
I watched more Yankee games from 1999 to 2007
than I watched Red Sox games.
So in theory, I should have become a Yankee fan,
but I did not.
Because I was a staunch red freckled faced Red Sox fan,
and that's it.
So all these people going on TV,
talking about these fucking people,
now these fucking jerkoffs are gonna go up to Boston, right?
You know, 18 fucking jerkoffs.
You know, I know it's more than that,
but everybody, oh my God, the Nazis taking over,
and then they're gonna show the fucking footage of Boston
and busing and all of that shit
from way back in the fucking day.
Is this a perfect storm of racism?
Is Hitler really dead when we return?
His body was never found.
According to reports, there was an angry looking jerkoff
riding around in a Mercedes Benz spotted just last year.
Down in South America.
I'm down with all of them.
It's absolute fucking hysteria out there.
These people are losing their fucking minds.
Losing their minds, screaming and yelling at each other.
Nobody's listening to anybody.
Everybody's acting like the fucking sky is falling.
One fat fuck shoots off a fucking missile
and everybody loses their shit.
One missile. We do that every fucking day.
We're worried about this guy?
One fucking fat guy with...
I just don't understand the level of fucking freak out
that's going on, you know?
It's fine.
Yankees are playing the Red Sox this weekend.
College football's coming up, NFL football,
baseball playoffs are coming.
It's all going to be fine.
All right?
I got to tell you, there's always been Nazi supporters
and they've kind of always had rallies,
but it's not like they're growing.
You know what I mean?
Are they? I mean, I...
I got to be honest with you, you don't get any whiter than me
and I've never gotten a flyer.
No one's ever asked me to join.
I don't walk down the street, hey, hey.
You know, guten tag.
Look, I'm not saying these aren't important issues,
but I'm just saying the level
that people are fucking freaking out.
All right?
Just need to fucking relax.
Just fucking relax, man.
Okay?
You can vote against whoever you want to vote against
very soon, right?
Isn't it like midterm elections and then there's this other shit?
You know what's going to happen?
You know what's going to happen, okay?
This fucking country goes, we're going way over here.
We're going to go fucking back over here.
So anyways, whatever.
How you doing? How was your Thursday afternoon, huh?
Got good people in your life? Did you have a sandwich today?
Ah, wasn't that delicious?
Was there a terrorist in your sandwich?
Was there a little Nazi flag on the fucking toothpick
that they stuck in your fucking club sandwich there?
I'm going to say there wasn't.
I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say there wasn't.
I'm actually doing the Trump hand thing right now.
Will you put your index finger on your thumb?
I like it. The other three fingers stick up.
You know what's great about it?
When you point home.
I'm going to start doing that with my wife, okay?
I'll tell you right now.
There's going to be cold beer in the fridge.
You know what the biggest crisis in my life is right now is I cannot fucking...
I cannot sustain a workout or eating well
for any significant amount of times to prevent me
from staying at the fucking weight or gaining weight.
I just can't do it. This fucking writer's room,
you're just sitting in there with all these people you love
watching them slowly die.
That's what it is because no matter how few calories you eat,
you're sitting on your fucking ass for eight to ten hours a day
and you just can't... you can't fucking do it.
I'm so fucking pissed at myself right now.
I'm going to have to start doing two a days.
I'm going to work out in the morning
and I'm just going to have to like... I don't know what to do.
I went out last night and I did a...
I did a show down at Largo
and I stopped eating it like, you know, I don't know when the fuck...
I didn't want to have it like five o'clock.
I don't even remember what I had for dinner.
Five-thirty or something like that.
Oh, then I got down to the club and I was hungry
and I went to this vegetarian restaurant.
Those fucking things.
Oh, I didn't eat meat. Yeah, but what did you eat?
What was in that fucking sauce, you know?
It's going right to your fucking ass, right?
Your stomach.
And then...
You know, I had one whiskey.
That was it and then I came home
and I'm fucking starving.
My wife had a little bit of Thai food and I had that
and I'm just... I'm fucked.
I'm killing myself.
I don't know what happened to my discipline.
I don't know.
I'm just under a lot of fucking stress right now.
I guess that's why I'm having this reaction to the fucking news
and everybody's watching it and then they're coming in
and they're like, can you fucking believe this?
Can you fucking believe this?
It's just like, all right.
You know what would be great in the news if they showed
the amount of fucking people last week
who didn't get in a car and plowed down a bunch of fucking people
like a complete piece of shit?
That would be the rest of us.
And then this one fucking asshole does it
and then everybody starts thinking,
is this what the world's going to be like now?
Is this going to happen?
How awful a fucking parent did that person have?
Jesus Christ, you know, I think when your kid starts
putting like the Hitler poster on the wall,
it's time to be a little more involved.
Maybe sign him up for volleyball or something.
Try to get him out there, you know?
I don't know what you do with that.
Is there a hotline for that?
1-800, my son's into Hitler.
1-800, I keep finding two holes poked in the pillowcases.
You know what I mean?
There's unconditional love and then there's Hitler, right?
Who's kidding who?
And then it's kind of like, all right, you know what?
I think it's time to ship you off to the loony bin
and let's make a new kid.
It's time to make a new kid.
Son, you know what?
You're like an old star.
It's time to go.
You're like Brett Favre when he got shipped to the fucking jets.
It's over for you.
It's over, okay?
You can't make the pass across the field anymore.
You know what I mean?
You've lost your vision and you got posted to Hitler.
It's over.
We're trading you to the New York Jets
and we're bringing in the news.
We're having a fucking...
That's what I would do.
If my big kid became a racist,
I would fucking turn my kid in
and then I would just make a new kid.
That's it. Go back to the draft.
You know what I mean?
Or maybe adopt, basically sign a free agent.
You really have to have a strict no-Hitler
fucking policy in your house.
You just have to have it.
Anyways, I saw this thing where
people were going on to...
white people going on ancestry.com
and were not pleased with some of the results.
Yeah.
I mean, that's going to happen, right?
It's going to happen.
You're going to find a couple of surprises in there
that's going to fuck with your manifesto.
You know? I would love if you could fucking...
What the fuck did they do with Hitler anyways?
I mean, even if he lived,
he's got to be dead by now, right?
When was that guy born? 1890? Something?
He's so evil.
Maybe he's still alive.
Just the hate is keeping him going.
You know?
Just picture him with like a fucking SS walker
screaming with every step
trying to get to the fucking toilet.
You know?
To take a master race shit.
LAUGHTER
If they only just encouraged this painting.
If that had only happened,
then you wouldn't have all this craziness.
Well, they'd find something else.
Anyways, Red Sox.
Up, down, up, down, up, down against this week.
And Yankees,
I think they won last night against the Mets.
So Red Sox, Yankees play this weekend, right?
Everybody's going to have a good time.
Enjoy the game. I take
me out to the ballgate.
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks.
You know?
Scan your fingerprints
at fucking Tiger Stadium
because you are a fucking dope.
So anyways,
I'm going to start doing two-day workouts.
That's what I got to do, and I just have to
I have to fucking commit.
I'm trying to figure out this new life that I have
in this fucking writer's room,
because it takes up so much of my time
that
I have a very finite amount of time
to fucking work out
and still actually keep my stand-up act going
and all this shit.
And I think it's causing me stress.
And maybe that's the fucking problem.
Maybe I'm just old.
I don't know.
I got to fight it, dude. I can't have the fucking dad, bud.
You know?
You're just like, just thick.
Stupid skinny arms coming out the side.
That Mr. Potato had fucking body.
You know?
I can't fucking do it.
I guess also because I blew out my shoulder,
which is finally the thing is better now.
I'm going really slow.
I had the rotator cuff shit going on, right?
So I'm now, this morning,
I actually, for the first time in like a year,
I had the fucking
Bob Bell and I was benching.
I had five pounds on each side.
That's how long and slow this process is.
And I felt like a
just a little something
and I was going to do three sets and I said,
I immediately stopped,
which is what you have to do with an injury.
You have to immediately go, you know what?
Fuck this.
I'm not doing this anymore.
So anyways, let's Google some news.
Google cancels
domain registration
for Daily Stormer.
All right, let's see what we got here.
Google has canceled.
Oh, this is going to be more hate group shit.
Justin Bieber may have an unknown
17 year old famous with a single picture.
Really?
A reporter calls out Huckabee's claim
that countless FBI employees were.
That's like reporting now.
Your headline is really three death foods
you should avoid.
But
death foods.
Okay.
All right, let's just read this one. Let's see what you see.
We're canceling Daily Stormer's registration
with Google domains for violating
our terms of service.
This post person told business insider.
Well, where the fuck was this a while ago?
You read Google's
registration agreement. You can read it here.
Okay, Google didn't want its service used
to incite violence, a source close
to Google told business insider
about this.
I don't know.
I hate to do the cliche, but when you
those fucking white supremacist groups
they're just the dumbest fucking people.
Look at this fucking guy.
It's like if they went
if they made a movie about white supremacist
this guy went to the casting.
I don't know.
I don't get people who go down
and protest the fucking
these hate groups.
Just let them go down there and scream and yell
to nobody.
You know what I mean?
Why do you go down there?
And then what do you do? You start tearing their signs down
as if they're going to be like, oh,
they tore our sign down.
Now I see their fucking
now I see their side of it. All you're doing
is reinforcing
in their head that you guys are fucking
assholes.
You should go down there. You should bake them
a little pumpkin pie, a little apple pie
and just give them some food
and just be nice to them.
That's what we should do to that fucking guy
that fatty over there in North Korea.
You know?
If I was Trump I'd go over there and smoke a cigar
with them.
Talk about grabbing pussies, whatever the fuck
he wanted to do, you know?
Instead of you, yo, fucking do that,
we're going to do this.
All right.
Oh, god. I have to get out of this
vortex here. I just fucking Google news.
Boston to hate groups,
you're not welcome here.
You're not welcome here.
We got plenty of haters
already here in Boston.
You know, it'd be funny if other
racists in Boston were upset
about the races coming here. They're going to take
our hate.
They're going to take our jobs, man.
Dude, we can't have a bunch
of other people coming up here
dropping the fucking N word.
What are we going to do then?
You're not wanted here, dude.
We're not hiring.
We got fucking plenty of them.
Anyways,
what else?
What else? I got nothing going on, dude.
I'm just sitting in a fucking writer's room
with no knowledge and somehow putting on weight,
because at the end of the day, I fuck it up.
But last night I was at Lago.
I got one more show down there tonight.
I worked with Joe Bartnick and Todd
Rex, two absolute fucking beasts,
and
they killed it last night.
We're going to be down there again tonight
for a great cause,
a friend of mine, Pete Cummins,
unfortunately passed away last year.
One of the great comics
that I met on the way up
and just a great guy, so we're raising money
for his kids, so I want to thank everybody that came
down there last night
and tonight raising funds,
doing something positive,
not being an ISIS,
not being
in a hate group, right?
Something positive.
Honey, when I told you I wanted you to be more
social, I should have been more specific.
That's a mom pulling up to like a clan rally,
yelling at her son.
Timmy, I wish you wouldn't do that.
I really wish you wouldn't.
Could you just stop it?
I mean,
anyways,
I just can't get out of the vortex of that.
So anyways,
all Freckles is trying to invest his fucking money
because the government's taken all of it
and I'm sitting here trying to buy the smallest
of small little properties here.
So someday when I'm in my fucking
70s and 80s and I don't feel like
going out on the road unless I want to,
I don't have to.
You know what I mean?
I don't want to fuck, you know what I mean?
Because what goes up comes back down again
and if I start the gentle slide
back down to doing the fucking comedy vault
at Remington's
in Boston when I'm in my 80s,
which unfortunately that room
finally passed away like a year
or two ago, about a year and a half ago.
The comedy vault
legendary room started in 1993.
Dick Doherty
host Spike Tobin.
I was on one of the first nights there.
I put together my first five minutes
right down there, right next to the fucking bank vault.
Why am I
thinking of that shit? Because right now
I'm trying to get a loan,
all right?
And I have, I should have perfect fucking credit,
but I don't
because I pay off my credit cards every fucking month.
So, and they don't like that.
I paid off my loans early.
They don't like that. That dings your credit.
They look at that like a loss.
Like, hey, we were going to make five grand off this loan.
You paid it off twice as fast.
We only made 2,500 bucks.
We lost 2,500 bucks in this guy.
So I've given these guys every fucking goddamn
piece of information they need.
I have the credit. I have the fucking money.
It's a fucking
joke. And then today they come at me.
They want two years of my
fucking cell phone bill.
Now I got to dig through all of my shit
to try and find that.
And I just want to say to them,
can you just tell me why you need all this?
Oh, these are the new regulations.
Yes, yes. And why?
Why are these new regu-
why do these New York regulations exist?
Well, I mean, that's just something to know.
They exist
because you guys were
responsible with your own country
men's money 10 fucking years ago
and you fucking nuked the economy.
I didn't do it. I'm a responsible
fucking guy. I live within my means.
My checkbook is balanced.
And now I have to jump through all these extra
hoops. Why? Because you guys
are greasy, greedy fucking pieces of
shit that gave every fucking
mouth-breathing dope,
$500 fucking thousand dollars came
walking through your bank doors
for a good seven, eight years in the last decade.
And I got to sit here digging through shoeboxes
of fucking phone bills.
You know?
Because you're on double secret probation
because you're a fuck-up. I love how
they're a fuck-up. All of a sudden,
it reverts back to me.
Like, now I have to pay for this since.
Well, actually, Bill, the fact that
they're holding their feet to the fire like this,
you know, that's a good thing for you and your money
because your money's tied into the system. I realize that.
I just wish that when you say,
well, they don't do this. They don't hide behind
regulations.
They should say, well, because we got so greedy
10 years ago,
the culmination of our greed ended up
with the fucking
the cooking of the fucking economy.
And old people thought they could retire
then had to continue working right into their
fucking grave. That's what the fuck we did
with your money. Hence,
we need to see the last fucking
two years of your goddamn phone bill. Oh,
you're taking callers.
All right. Let me read a couple of
advertisements here.
All right.
All right.

dirt. Now, this is different.
This is different, okay? You don't have a
these are that.
This is different, right? Isn't it
different?
It's completely

It's a different scenario. This country

spiraled down
in the rankings,
you know,
like what happened to the Michigan
Wolverines over the last 20 years where
they were this powerhouse fucking
program and then they just dropped out
of sight flatline for 15 years.
That's when they can take hold. But everybody,
yeah, everybody's got their fucking everybody's
walking around with crocs,

jeggings on.
Everybody's got a flat screen TV.

weak point
in the Death Star that is the male body,
which is the balls, okay? Because I don't give a shit
how many fucking weights you lift?
How many fucking kung fu classes
you take? If you look in the other way
and a fucking, I don't care,
a little bunny rabbit is hopping by and its head
comes up and hits you in your ball bag.
You're going down. You're tapping out.
The fight's over. And you got a little bunny
sitting on top of you. And he's the new
UFC
fighting out of the blue corner.

comfortable pair of underwear you'll ever own

your family's future. This is the greatest thing I ever did.
I got a will right. So right now, you know, I give a shit
I'll fucking walk right up to an alligator.
What do you got buddy? Right. I don't care.
I'm covered.
Legal zoom design
design this kit to provide the tools you need
all in one place, whether a will
or a trust is right for you.
I do both. I have
a will and a trust.
All right. Do not revive me.
Light me up.
Do not bury me in the ground.
That's it.
Sprinkle my ashes
over a dumpster.
Move on.
I should actually say
just put me in the ground. No coffin.
Right. There you go. No coffin. Just let
me fucking decompose naturally.
Feed the fucking soil.
You know how dumb it is that we actually
you put a box in the ground. It's so fucking stupid.
You're dead.
It's over.
But what if I still feel something?
Then you'd still be alive, but you're
dead.
You know, I like those people who won't get cremated,
but they're going to sit there and let somebody fucking drain
all the shit out of them, take out all your fucking
organs and then fill it up with formaldehyde
or whatever the fuck they do.
Or you can just get it over with if you actually
feel anything. You just be like,
like a fucking minute and a half
and then it's over.

something. If you're married and you have
kids, you have to do that.
There's so many guys out there that just afraid
of thinking about their
own mortality. And I have to tell you,
it's a weight off
of your chest.
Because when you get to my age,
you're going to see, unfortunately,
people dying
who don't do that stuff and how
they leave their loved ones
is
the second tragedy.
So
don't fucking do that to the people.
You love being dead serious here.
Dead fucking serious. No pun intended.
You got to fucking do that. You got to take care of them.
You're going to die. Fucking deal with it.
God knows if you got a woman
in your life, you're going to die sooner rather
than fucking later
with all of the shit that they do. They just, you know,
they can't help it. It's just what
they are. They give, they love,
and they take. It's the balance.
You know, everything that they give
your kid, they take away from you
and then you just slowly die this lonely
existence in a room full of other people.
And that is the podcast for this afternoon.
Kidding.
That's every day, but I know it's fucking around today
on this podcast, but seriously, stick your head out the window.
You know, just fucking,
everybody relax.
Fucking
relax.
Just fucking Christ.
You can see these goddamn people. I mean, they're too fucking
stupid. They're too fucking stupid
to brush their teeth.
They're going to run a country.
Anyway, why doesn't everything
always go back to Germany too?
This is like Germany in the fucking 1930s.
Well, why isn't it like Russia?
Russia.
Well,
why isn't it our country in the fucking
1617 and 1800s?
This
wasn't exactly a great place to live for a
lot of fucking people.
Oh Jesus, now I'm
doing it. I'm talking to the fucking,
I don't know what I'm doing. Am I ranting
and raving now? I have no idea.
All I know is I'm going to be in a good mood
today and I have to do two a days.
Two a days so I don't look like a freckled
guy here. I worked out this morning,
you know, I did my little half hour on the fucking
elliptical and I threw the weights around.
Now,
the most crucial thing is what I eat
and when I stop fucking eating.
All right, so
I already got it. Tonight I stop
eating
at five o'clock. I'm having a turkey
patty
with a tabbouleh salad and then that's it
and then I have to drink waters for the rest of the fucking time
and then to make up for my sins last night
I'm going to skip rope for fucking three rounds
you know, try to burn off some shit
that way and maybe that's what I'll do.
I'll do fucking two a days.
Is that what I got to do? I know what I got to do.
I got to fucking get out of this writer's room.
That's what I have to do.
Maybe instead of taking a lunch, maybe I'll
fucking bring an elliptical into the office
and while we pitch jokes I'll just be on the fucking
thing and everybody in the writer's room
just takes a turn,
you know, or every time you
pitch a joke and it doesn't get a laugh, you know,
ten minutes on the fucking elliptical.
You know?
Our whole fucking room
will look like, you know,
they look at the end of the tour to France, we just
burn so many calories like your body's like
eating yourself.
Maybe going to the table
reads by episodes eight and nine being like, you know,
it's a funny show, but Jesus Christ, they're fucking
amazing. What kind of show
are we doing here?
They put their heart and soul into this fucking thing.
Oh, wait a second, all of a sudden it got loud
in my ears. Oh, I turned it up
by accident.
Brushed against it with my forearm there.
All right. Hey, by the way,
I got a new band that I've been listening to and
I'm not going to remember the fucking name of them
because I know my phone.
It's a really weird name
for a band.
Let me see. I'm opening my fucking iTunes.
Go to
Artists. I know it begins with an A.
This is getting everybody excited. Please
say my alt J.
I
downloaded this album called This Is All Yours
and I fucking love it.
Great album, great album
to chill out to. I worked out to it this morning
because it was early in the morning and it's kind of
fucking, you know, you know, creepy
and mellow and all that type of stuff, you know,
I guess I knew I was going to get on the fucking
scale, but
I had never heard of them and Josh
Adam Meyers
from the goddamn comedy jam
he actually, when I was on the road, he goes,
hey, I'm going to go see this band tonight.
Alt J. I'm like, what?
I thought it was a typo.
It's ALT, lowercase
dash capital J.
I really enjoyed them. And once again, Mute Math
has a new album coming out next month.
All right. That is it.
Please listen to the music. A little interlude here
before we give you another half hour
of Greatest Hits from a Thursday afternoon podcast
from a Thursday from a Thursday that went
by on a Thursday
that you didn't even pay attention to.
All right.
That's it. God bless you. Thank you
for not being a Nazi.
And I'll
have a great weekend, you cunts, and I'll talk to you on Monday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, what's going on?
It's Bill Burr, and this is
the Monday morning podcast
from Monday, August 17th,
2007
or 2009.
Why can't I have a do-it-date
right?
I actually, this is the second time I started
the podcast
because I always just started
and then I go to say the date
and I realize I don't know what the date is.
So I'm going to do
I don't know what the date is.
So I'm sick of doing that.
Like I just did that and I fucked up the date
and I was like, I do this every time
people are going to think it's a gimmick.
Like I always deliberately fucking up the date.
So I just hit stop, I hit a race
and I started over again
and I fucked up the year.
Something wrong with my brain.
You know what it was because it was the 17th,
then my brain was thinking seven.
So then when I went to say the year,
I said 2007.
In case you're wondering.
Anyways, I'm actually
it's Sunday
when I'm doing this podcast because
if you're listening to this East Coast time
in the morning, I'm on an airplane right now
and
I just got a bunch of shit to do tomorrow.
So I figured I'm not doing anything today.
Why not bang out a podcast?
You know?
Anybody can go out in Atlanta
and hang out with another human being.
You know? It takes a real
secure
fucking loser
to
still be in his fucking hotel bed
at, what the fuck time is it?
12.20 in the afternoon.
Jesus Christ.
I'm watching the
whatever the fuck golf major this is.
The PGA.
I'm actually betting against Tiger Woods.
I kind of have this ongoing
bet.
I keep betting against Tiger Woods
with another comic friend of mine
who is of African
persuasion.
Basically, because I've kind of
not been watching baseball lately
I've been trying to pick up new sports
and the only way for me to get into golf
is to have stupid ass bets.
So I figure I'll bet against
not only will I bet against Tiger Woods
I will bet against
Tiger Woods with another black
dude
and I will
just to make it interesting, you know
say dumb shit
like golf's a white man's game
I'm betting on Ernie L's
you know what, I actually won
in the fucking Masters. I bet on
Phil Mickelson and I won that one
because he beat Tiger Woods and then I don't know
I got busy and I could have won another
you know, we bet like 25 bucks a major
I could have won the US
Open and I also could have won the fucking
that one over there in England
and I blew those off
and I think
I'm going to lose today
it's weird, I'm betting against Tiger
but you know, my money is, but I'm actually rooting for him
you know
is that exciting? No
I don't think it is either. Anyways
let's uh, let's plow ahead here
I'm in a fucking bad mood
I had a really
I had a really bad show last night
not like I had a bad show
I went up there and I did this whole bit on Michael Vick
coming back
and it killed and everybody was having a great time
and then at the end of my set
this woman comes up to me
and uh
you know like when someone's going to insult you
you know
rather than having, I'm going to insult you
look on their face, they come up and they have an ear to ear
like Eric Astrada grin on their face
you know, that's what she was doing
and she was just going like, hi, hi, how are you
yeah, yeah
that whole thing about Michael Vick, yeah
did you really believe that? Is that really how you feel?
yeah
and I immediately knew I'm like, oh god
this is a dog lover, here we go
so I was just like
okay ma'am, alright, I'm sorry
I didn't like the show, you know
they're just jokes, if you want to take them seriously
go ahead and take them seriously
and then she just goes, yeah, yeah, yeah
because your statements are really ignorant
I just thought you should know that she's like nodding and smiling
your statements are really ignorant
it's like, first of all, why are you smiling?
you know, that was the most annoying thing
not that she came up to me
I mean, it's my own goddamn fault
I fucking, not only do I go on stage
and I say a bunch of stupid shit
but then I stand there like an idiot selling DVDs
I'm opening myself
to somebody coming up to me
and telling me to go fuck myself
I don't have a problem with that
that comes with being
a fucking shithead who sells DVDs
at the end of the show
so I totally could have avoided that
I'm not complaining about that
what I'm complaining about is people
who are telling you to go fuck yourself
but they're smiling
like, is that supposed to like mind fuck me?
like, I'm not even going to notice what you're saying
like, wow, it sounds like
she's telling me to go fuck myself
but she's smiling
maybe I'm hearing this wrong
and then she's like, your statements are really ignorant
and she's nodding, like
you know what I mean, like that Bugs Bunny shit
like, remember that?
and the other guy would be like, yes, no, yes, no
and then at some point he would switch
and go, he would switch over
his fucking argument and then the other guy would end up arguing
Bugs Bunny's argument, that's what the fuck
she was trying to do to me
your statements are really ignorant and she's like nodding
like, I'm going to be like, yes, my statements were ignorant
so I said
lady
so basically what you're telling me is because
I don't agree with your point of view that
that makes me ignorant
and then she pulls this thing
and she's actually a member of the humane society
alright
you know
first of all, who the fuck breaks out credits
during an argument
you know what I mean, she says it, right
I'm a member of the humane society
like it's supposed to be like this dun dun dun
fucking moment, oh shit
are you a member of the humane society?
good lord, how many years of college did it take to get that?
holy shit
did you have to go through medical school
to become a member of the fucking humane society?
I actually for half a second
was like wow
I actually thought that she was on the board
of the humane society
first of all, I don't even know what the fucking humane society is
humane sounds like human
to me, like you're into people
but evidently it isn't, you're into fucking animals
so I'm sitting here
later on tonight, I'll fucking annoyed with this lady
this lady
as Jerry Lewis would say, right
I'm all fucking annoyed with this lady
thinking like
then I'm like wait a minute
she's a member of the humane society
you know
I was a fucking member of
the fuck is that
that thing, now of course I can't remember
you know what I'm thinking right now is how fucked up my brain is
I'm thinking
apocalypse now
amnesty international
I knew it was an A, for some reason I thought there was a P
I was a member of amnesty international
for like 2-3 years
you know, that was against
torturing people around the world
and you know I became a member
I gave them 25 bucks
I went on the internet
and I gave them 25 bucks
I have no fucking idea what they did with the money
I don't know if they stopped someone from getting tortured
I don't know if they just took that money
and they both, you know, couple of them went out to a movie
they had 25 bucks
we'll go to the matinee, you know, it's probably 8 bucks each
it's enough for some popcorn too
2 tickets and a popcorn
come on dude, we're not gonna stop
torture
so that's what I did
so let me go on the fucking internet
let me look up this humane society
and
so I went to it humanesociety.org
and sure enough, this is all you have to do
to become a member
it's 19 dollars a month
or whatever you can afford
so I could give these fucking people
a dollar a month
and then I too could walk around
and be a total fucking cunt
and throw out my credit that I am a member
of the humane society
and you know what, I'm gonna fucking join the humane society
at 1 dollar
so the next time I do this Michael Vick bit
when one of these fucking psycho people
comes up to me
having memory of the humane society
oh shit, you know what, so am I
holy shit, I can't believe I didn't see it at the meeting
oh that's right, neither one of us go to him
there is no fucking meetings
a member of the humane society
you would have fucking
I can't believe she threw that out like she was on fucking
like she just did the tonight show
I'm the head of NBC
you will never get a show on my network
that's the way the fuck she was saying it
god damn it, it got worse
it got worse, so you know me
someone's being a cunt to me, no one can out cunt me
so
I'm actually upset with myself because I allowed her
to make me mad
as you can tell considering it's fucking
12 hours later and I'm still talking
about it alone in my hotel room
with the drapes pulled clothes
this is how I always do it on the road
fucking sitting around like Howard Hughes
yeah so then she goes
I remember the humane society
and blah blah blah blah and I said look
okay
you know
why do people take comedy seriously
those are stand up comedy show
I'm not doing
I can't even begin to tell you guys how many times
in my act I say that I'm a moron
you guys listen to my podcast
you know I'm a moron, actually some people don't
I had some guy send me this fucking
email this week on bill for the love of god
stop talking about banks you sound like a moron
read this shit
what do you mean read this shit that just goes
against everything that I am
I don't fucking read
and like I love how you
talked about those banks you sounded like a moron
and what when I talked about the other shit
I sounded intelligent
it's a fucking
podcast
just stand up
back I don't I don't
you know what here I go again I'm allowing myself to get
fucking worked up about this shit
so anyways
a couple more back and forth
go and then she just realizes that
I don't give a fuck
I said something like well you know
what you should do ma'am is what I always say when somebody
just says that they don't
you know enjoy me
and they just want to keep telling me how much they don't enjoy my act
what I always say to them
I was like well you know what you should do
you should never come to one of my
shows again that'll show me
right
so then she finally realizes
that I don't give a shit about our humane society
fucking credit
that she basically purchased
you know it's well you know what
being a member of the humane society
is less respectful than
when they give some famous person an honorary degree
because at least the celebrity
didn't fucking pay for it
he didn't go to SyracuseUniversity.org
and give $19
so he could be like I have an honorary degree
from fucking Syracuse University
you know
so anyways so that's what I said
so let's lady you know you know what you should do
you should never come to one of my shows again that'll show me
and at this point there's kind of some people around me
that are starting to laugh
so then this girl just you know
who's a member of the humane society
because she cares so much
then she just starts going for my jugular
she goes yeah well you know
smiling and nodding right
this creepy fucking smile
and this whole time too
she's got a clump of lipstick on her upper lip
she's one of these girls you could tell was hot
when she was in her 20s
and now she's doing the worst thing that you can do
you know so she looks like you know
one of the real housewives
of fucking Tupelo Mississippi
or wherever the fuck she's from right
and she's going
she's going oh yeah yeah well you're doing great
right you're doing great you're here at the punchline
huh you're doing great and I'm like
yeah you know shows kind of seem to be selling well
she goes now yeah it's great you know
you're on HBO and now you're here
you know
and it's like lady so are you
you're here too
and you fucking paid to come here
to watch me what is your fucking
point and she's like and I didn't
pay I didn't pay whatever
and then she said something to you
she started talking really then she did
that that that that thing
you know what how women
have confrontations like that was what
they do is they stop talking to you and then
they start talking to their friend really loudly
about you
and she starts going that guy's a fucking piece
of shit
the funny thing was when she couldn't have been
more than five feet away from me and she's
yelling it
that guy's a fucking piece of shit
and then that's when I told her
you know lady you know I really didn't want to tell you
this but you got a big you got something
on your upper lip and I didn't want to bring it
up but now you're being a jerk and she goes
it's lipstick I don't know
I don't even want to happen after that
that point I was actually mad
and
and I
don't know I kind of blamed the whole evening
on not drinking if you can fucking
believe it
you know because I usually enjoy doing
the road and now this is my
third weekend that I've done
where I have not had a drop of alcohol
and now I finally understand
why comedians
want to get off the
road I never realized
how many fucking morons there are
out here
because I was drunk
and I was part of the problem
but now
now I'm sober I think I'm talking
about myself like I'm actually a fucking alcoholic
I'm not I'm just a fucking lonely loser
and that's what I do I have a couple of beers
talk a little shit
that's it Bill denial
that's the first fucking stage of it
VJ sing oh
what a shot
Jesus Christ from the fringe
oh you know what that was from yesterday
don't you fucking hate when you do that
when you're watching sports you ever done that in a sports bar
you looked away for a second
and you didn't realize it was a replay from
a month again somebody hits a homerun
you're like yeah fucking out of here
you're like the only guy
nah dude that was from my last Tuesday
they were playing the Rangers
you're like oh I thought that was from now
you want another case of Dia
you know what I like about VJ sing
they're fucking douchebags nowadays
they're trying to bring back that rat pack
swagger
and you can't you can't do it
and the only guy I don't know why
I don't know why you can't wear shirts
the way they wore shirts back then
you can't wear that fucking little
Bing Crosby hat the way they wore it
I don't know why
I have no fucking idea
why Frank and why Dean
and Sammy and all those guys
look so fucking smooth
I have no idea why
but I was watching this golf the other day
I gotta admit
fucking VJ sing
he's got a little swagger to him
plus he said that
that hateful shit against women
which really lines up with their generation
remember that
back then weren't they just like beating their women
with a mop handle
every time they didn't have their roast beef
and mashed potatoes ready or some shit
I don't know what so anyways
I had a
I'm trying to figure out
why that lady bugged me so much last night
I you know it was just
I don't know I felt I was pissed at myself
that I got mad and then I was also mad
at myself that I stand there like a fucking
idiot selling DVDs
um
you know
I don't know
it really just made me want to be like
why don't I just go to the green room after shows
and I'll do my shows
and then you know whatever
I'll get an email
and you know
I don't know
you fucking sit there dancing around like a monkey boy for 50
50-55 minutes
I haven't even did an hour of that show I can't even remember
then they have somebody come up to you and just
fucking say that you're a piece of shit
because of a joke
and then there are women so you can't like
you know
you know what was funny was she was with a guy
so the whole time
she's given me shit it's like I don't want to lose
so I'm giving her shit back
but at the same time I got to keep
my eye on the dude
and also like not go too far
because then I got like a physical
confrontation with the dude which I don't want to have
I'm 41 years old
last time I had a fight
35 that was with my brother
in a red roof in that's an entirely different story
and that doesn't count either because your brother's going to stop at some point
because he has to answer to your dad
you know
I can't fucking remember right
I ain't no tough guy I tell jokes right
so I don't want to get into this guy you know it's funny
the entire time the guy had his back to me
and he was trying to get
the woman out of the club
and that's the exact kind of guy
who goes out with a woman like that
and vice versa if it's a loud mouth douche bag guy
they always have a little mousy girl
because nobody who actually
would speak their mind would ever
rate dating somebody like that
man or woman
they would be like are you out of your mind
are you out of your mind right now
you know it's a joke
this guy's telling jokes or whatever you made your point
now you're just going to stand here screaming
I don't know
I don't know it was a fucked up night
then I had the next show
I'm on stage
and I'm doing my act and I'm having a great time
and you know
I told the story about the woman I called her a cunt
and I felt like I got that out
and everything was going great
then all of a sudden this
this lady
just walks up to the stage
I'm in the middle of my act she's like
can you say happy birthday
to my friend Heather
it was like lady could you
act like maybe I'm fucking in the middle
of doing a show at some point
I don't know
it was a fuck it was a weird
it was just a weird night and then after that
then I went over to the club 290 next door
as I always end up doing
and this time this is the first time I went in there
and I wasn't drinking
and I realized how fucked up that place was
it was this dude came up to me right
and this whole week
I've really been having a difficult time understanding
some of these people who live
outside of Atlanta their fucking accents
this
I'm standing there
talking to a couple of people from the club
and this guy just comes up to me
he's like will
I'm like what
he's like will he's sticking his hand out
and I thought he was saying like will you
like he would start the sentence
like will you stop standing there
will you buy me a drink
evidently he was saying his name
he was introducing himself
his name was William
but he was going will
will
will
and I was like what
alright but this is one of those bars everybody
every other person seemed like they were on fucking coke
and
I don't know
this is just peterin out
I don't know I'm just fucking
I've had enough and I usually do Thursday through Saturday
and something fucked up happened this weekend
well now I'm doing Friday, Saturday, Sunday
and somebody asked me this question last week
like asked me if Sunday
was a depressing day on the road
I don't know if you listen to my past
podcasts I think I answered that
yes it is Sunday is the fucking worst
you know
two shows Friday, three shows Saturday
you know the big peak
and you want to fucking leave
and then you got to hang around the entire
fucking day to do one more
50 minutes set and then you got to flying on
Monday which is the fucking worst
you know I like flying on Sundays
you know
flying across the country everybody
still asleep they go into church
you know
they're waking up from a hangover
finishing that last slice of dominoes
I don't know what they're doing but they're not on the road
driving so when I land at the airport
I just grab my shit
I jump in a cab and I'm fucking back at my place
you know
you fly back on a Monday
the UPS trucks the FedEx guys
are out there right
fucking homeless people
laying in the streets it's just fucking horrific
so anyways
I had such a great week too
I had a great week
one of the people who listens to my podcast
works over at the Capitol Records
place and they invited me over there
to go on a tour which I did
this past week and I got to tell you
it was the greatest tour
of anything I've ever taken
ever
do you remember Geraldo Rivera when he did
Al Capone's vault
and everybody thought it was going to be the greatest fucking thing ever
remember how great
you thought it was going to be like what the fuck
is going to be in that safe
and you were like there's no way this is going to suck
and it just didn't live up to it
whatever your expectations of that were
this was 20 times that
it was unbelievable
the guy basically explained it
ahh
and I'm saying the guy because I don't use people's names on this
he was basically explaining that
the Capitol Records building is basically
a functioning museum
meaning
that there's a bunch of shit that they're still using
that really should be
in a museum
I walked into the room
where Frank Sinatra sang
all those songs
Luck be a Lady
Dean Martin all them
they had Nat King Cole's piano
and they had this little metal chair
they were like yeah that's Frank Sinatra's chair
and I'm looking at it and I'm like that's not fucking Frank Sinatra's chair
that looks like it should be in an IPS class
that was like one of those science room
classes
and later on in the tour he was showing all these black and white photos
because I guess back in the day the Capitol Records
label had their own photographer
and they took all these fucking pictures
and by the way Frank and Dean never looked
bad at any moment
they had one picture of Dean Martin eating a bowl of soup
and he looked like a fucking million bucks
but anyways then you look at the photos
and there's that fucking chair
they had a microphone over there
that said Frank
oh yeah that's Frank Sinatra's microphone
and then they just use it
you know
I gotta just fight
absolutely fucking blew me
everything and I can't even like
they had like the masters of
like the band
you know that group
like they just had them laying
not like laying in the corner
they were gonna be doing something with them
I fucking actually got to hold it in my hand
I don't know if you're a music geek
that is the
that was the place
to go and not to mention later on that afternoon
one of my favorite drummers of all time
Steve Jordan
was recording with
some huge artist
and they actually
you know what sucked was they had already recorded his drum shit
so he was gonna be doing I guess some
some percussion shit and all I wanted to see
was his kit
set up in the studio
I wanted to see but I
fucking missed it by a day but other than that
then I got to go on top of the building
you know
like I was fucking Dice Clay and Ford Fairline
unbelievable view
it was the greatest fucking thing I've ever done
and I
if I was more articulate
I could explain how awesome it was
so I want to thank everyone
over at Capital Records for being so fucking cool
that was the greatest tour of anything I've ever taken
and
when I come to one of my shows if you bring 40 friends
I will still hook you up
that's how great that tour was
so there we go look at me I'm bringing it
around to something positive
that fucking twat from the humane
society
oh wait a minute I can donate by
phone

let's see how easy it is
to fucking join the humane society
of America

so anyways let's get to the
podcast questions this week
my phone is vibrating
you know what's weird I have not drank
in so long and I still feel hungover
cause I stayed up till four in the morning last night
couldn't go to sleep
so fucking pissed
alright here we go let's get to some of the stuff
okay YouTube videos
if you would like a laugh this week
for some reason I only have one of them
I don't know why
I know I got more
I get busy I fly around sometimes I fuck up
this is actually a cool video watch
it's Snuffbox
Boyfriend scenes
SNUFF
Snuffbox Boyfriend scenes
and
I think you'll enjoy that
I got a couple other ones but people will kind of send me stuff
that I just feel like they're just classic
YouTube videos
like who hasn't seen that woman who you know
she stomps the grapes
you know she's having that competition
and then she falls out of the thing and then she goes
oh oh oh
oh oh
you know cause she got the wind knocked out of her
and I know that sounds like I'm
doing a fucked up impression
that's exactly what she sounds like
and if you don't believe me
let's fucking bring up that video right now
shall we let's see
stomp
stomping
grapes
let's see if that'll work did that just fucking work
of course it didn't
I really don't like
typing with one hand
stomping
grapes
and I'm telling you it's literally
oh oh
here we go
here we go
listen to how she does this
just fall off the fucking thing
shut up
shut up
alright here they go
sorry I'm trying to fast forward to this
shut up
why can't you fast forward these videos better
and now it won't fucking play god damn it
you know what do I have to start this
podcast over again this is so fucking
horrific go play
there we go
there we go
you know what go fuck yourself I'll play it later on
while the damn thing's gonna load up
alright
you know what I feel like right now I feel like one of those news guys
who I just threw it to the field and then the story's not there
and I gotta stand there smiling
and I'm like oh okay
now there's nothing on the teleprompter
for me to read so I feel like a fucking moron
alright let's go to ask bill
hey bill I want to be a stand up
my friends say that I am funny
I wrote down about five minutes of shit
I thought was funny and I did a little stand up
back to my brother he laughed and said it was great
I have dangerously low
self-esteem in myself
and the fact
that I don't usually like to laugh at myself
when I'm writing jokes by myself
I usually laugh at a joke
I tell when I say it in front of people
and I realize how crazy it sounded
I live in a small town so there's not really
any stand up clubs there is a place
called the coffee connection which has
an open mic there I am a little nervous to go
because I don't want to bomb and completely
destroy my confidence I have to actually
become a comedian I'm not afraid
to talk in front of people I just don't want
to fuck up in front of other people
but here is where
a bigger problem comes in
at my high school they have a talent show
around the end of the school year
if I got up there and did shit
and didn't make anybody laugh
everyone that didn't know me at the school
would think I'm some dusty cunt
that just was up there for the attention
I think
I would just use the classic
I was just fucking around I wasn't even serious
on the outside I would still feel like shit
do you have any advice that could help me
yes I do
alright first of all having low self-esteem
and sort of hating yourself
you have the foundation
for becoming a comedian
you got to give yourself permission to suck
and you got to give yourself permission
to grow in the beginning
which means you have to go out
and you have to perform
in front of people that you don't know
the fucking thing that you want to do
not
knowing how to do stand up would be to go on
in front of your entire high school
I mean
that you know what
maybe that takes
the fact that you're even considering doing that
you have
way more balls
than I ever had at your age
so you're already fucking ahead of me
and not to mention that you're still in high school
and you're already starting it
in grade 3 almost 24
so you're way ahead of the game
there's no fucking reason
to put yourself into that situation
unless you feel confident
you know if you feel confident
you feel like you're going to destroy
who knows you might bang one of them fucking cheerleaders there
but then that would probably boost yourself confidence
you'd be like well maybe I'm not a douche
and then you just get some regular job
and you're never getting to show business
um
but I digress
you gotta um you know something I did stand up
and for the first year I didn't tell
and none of my friends even knew I was doing it
I think one of them knew
and nobody saw me for the first year
I wouldn't let anybody come
my family knew that I was doing it
and I would not let any of them come out to see me do it
and um
I didn't let my parents first
saw me I started in March of 1992
and my parents
first came out to see me
in March of 1993
and I've always been blown away by comedians
um
they'll go their first time
ever on stage
and they invite everyone from their office
to come down
the place where they work to watch them do stand up
and I'm just like
dude do you realize
what it's going to be like if you fucking bomb
and you have to go to work the next day
I mean
why would you set yourself up I mean it's just
I don't know
so what I would do my advice to you is
is first of all don't worry about having
low confidence or low self-esteem
or whatever the hell it is
you don't have to worry about that
your confidence will build as you do it
but what you have to do is just
you just go out and go do open mics
you'll get in the click of other open micers
you'll make some friends
and then you become like this little platoon
you know
and it's like you against the world
okay
you're gonna bomb
all your open micro friends are gonna bomb
you're gonna bomb you're all gonna fucking do it
it sucks
but it's the best stories you'll ever tell
in your life and later on in your career
you're gonna look back and tell some stories
I mean I'll tell you know what would be a hell of a fucking story
is if you went up in front of your entire fucking high school
and you ate your balls
I mean that's some shit like later on in your career
if you you know
if you were starring in a movie
and you needed a panel story
like Letterman or fucking Conan
I mean that would be a hell of a one to tell
so that's
I mean it's hard for me to tell you
what to do as far as whether you should do
that high school show or not all I can go
is with my gut
the fact I got like scared
reading your email thinking
just putting myself in your position
of like
just picturing myself at 17
18 if I ever went on in front of my
high school
and try to tell jokes I mean I probably
there would have been a bucket
of blood above me and would have poured down
on me just like that movie Carrie
would have been bad you know
I gotta admit halfway through that I just thought
what if I killed though
you know
see you're like a junkie you just keep fucking
chasing it alright so don't worry
about it man just fucking have fun
go out sign up for some open mics and just do it
in bars where they're showing football games
they're looking at you and you just learn
get tough that way
that's what I would do you know and if you want to do
the high school show by all means fucking
go for it personally I wouldn't
do it but that but I'm coming from
a place of fear so
you know if you got the balls go ahead and do it
but if you do it I want to hear the results
so please email me back alright
but other than that don't worry about you know
second guess in your material and all that stuff
and thinking stuff sucks that's just
a part of it in the beginning okay
if you think you're awesome when you first start out
you usually end up being a hack
you know and you're out there
you know what's the deal with Michael Jackson
I'm fucking great
alright I hope that helped you out
okay alright any next
question Bill um
I want to ask you about how you felt about
parents taking their kids on planes
recently I had a
flight to Denver back from Los Angeles
not a long flight but I was
absolutely exhausted and looking forward to the
two hours of not talking to people
and hoping to maybe catch a nap
I had no such luck
a young couple with their two year old brat
sat behind me and proceeded to let
their kid kick the back of my seat
and scream repeatedly it was awful
I don't blame the kid two year old
kids they they kick and scream
that's what they do but the kids parents
did nothing to control their child
other than saying you shouldn't
do that what really pissed me off
was that we were when we
were landing they were
asking their child what he wanted for dinner
and this is written in capital letters
are you fucking kidding me
two year olds don't get options
12 year olds don't get options
20 year olds don't get fucking options
if they're living in your house and you're paying for everything
as we were getting off
the plane I was hoping these people
would have the decency to apologize
for their kid kicking the back of my seat
but of course they didn't I thought about
telling these people that they ought to both get
they ought to both get fixed
because they were absolute assholes
and all they were doing was raising another absolute
asshole and adding one more to the
fucking population
but I kept my mouth shut
because people like that see
nothing wrong with their behavior so what's
the fucking point anyway
have you ever have you ever
had an experience like this
did you think about saying something
did you actually say something
alright great question
I gotta be honest with you when I'm on a plane
and a kid starts crying I don't know
why I can't explain it
but it makes me laugh
and it makes me laugh watching other people
get fucking annoyed
because I don't know somewhere along the line
I just sorta let go of that
it's like look these people they have kids
just like you said they can't control them
and that's it but I will tell you this
if you have a kid
and it's in the fucking thing
because at two year old it's not a person yet
it's a fucking thing
the fucking thing is kicking the back of the seat
of the person in front of me
in front of you you have to do something about that
alright they got little short little fucking
legs at that point all you gotta do
is just scoot them back and they won't be able to
they won't be able to
kick the back of the seat now I might be fucking ignorant
here because I never had a little
two year old thing and I might be oversimplifying
this because I really
have sympathy for
for people in that situation
I mean what are you supposed to do
I mean in a perfect world
you could just knock the kid out but you wouldn't want to do that
it's a kid you can't punch a kid
I mean you can but then you'd have to talk
to somebody from the fucking humane society
you know what the fuck I'm saying
you know what I mean
perfect world you could just tie him to the seat
and he wouldn't move but you'd psychologically damage
with him you know damage the kid
and then you gotta live with him for at least another 16 years
before he fucking moves on to community college
so
have I ever said anything no
I have never said anything
I would never say something like
you know
do you understand also like when the planes landing
you know like when your ears are popping like little kids
they don't know what to do
but I've definitely given some people
some
not even like what the fuck I give them that look like
really you just gonna let the kids
sit there and this is another thing too
if your kid is freaking out if you're just making a
fucking effort even if you can't stop
the kid from freaking the fuck out
just make an effort this is weird
I'm gradually agreeing with this person more and more
just make a fucking effort
that's all when people are just sitting
there and letting the kid cry
I mean I don't know if they're doing an experiment
because I've heard like
if you pick a baby up every time he cries
then it learns okay all I have to do is cry
and then I get this comfort
if you're trying to retrain him
I don't know if you're gonna retrain him could you do it at home
hahaha
I think they should sedate kids
there you go yeah I just said that
you know just come in with the fucking
have one of those fucking World War 2
psycho doctors just come in with an old fashioned
needle you just drug them up
or maybe they could have like a fucking
a glassed in area do you guys ever have
that like the crying room in church
you put your kids way in the back
and they just be behind glass
you know so they wouldn't interrupt the priest
scaring the living shit out of you that you're gonna be going to health
maybe they should have that
down by the luggage
anyways
so no I've never said anything
yes I've wanted to say some things but
you know
by the end of it you know when you're actually gonna say
something the flights over anyways
and I had some part of flying
isn't it some kids screaming
anyways alright
what am I moving on to
the next part of the podcast
oh wait is this video loaded up yet
remember my impression
ow ow
okay here we go
here we go
see I told you
ow ow ow stop
you know what that was
that's the first time she ever got the wind knocked out of her
so she didn't know what to do that's what I sounded like
when I was five the first time that happened to me
and the first thing you learn
is when you get the wind knocked out of you
is to shut the fuck up because
anyone if you try to talk
when you get the wind knocked out of you that's what the fuck you sound like
so you learn
afterwards once you
get your breath back you're like wow I really sounded
like a fucking idiot and I was going
you know
you just fucking
can anybody explain that phenomenon
what is that
and why no matter how hard
you're trying to breathe in does your breath
keep exhaling
or just pushing out
you know it's like when you
it's like you're having a dry
heave but you're not puking you know just for those of you
like I dated a girl
one time she was like 27 years old she'd never had
the wind knocked out of her in her life
which I thought was one of the most adorable things
I'd ever heard
you know it was like she was living under glass or something
but anyways
why is
you know
do you know how many fucking times that happened to me as a kid
that was like what we did me and my
you know had four brothers that's what we did as a kid
that's what you did
and your brother wasn't paying attention
you didn't even have to do it hard that was great
you just gave him a fucking rap
right in the stomach
does all the
wind literally go out and why can't you just
why can't you just breathe in
why am I acting like you guys are fucking doctors
why this isn't just a bunch of truckers
just forget it
you know what I want something to attempt you know what half the people
who are gonna fucking answer this question
are gonna do exactly what I'm gonna do at the end of this fucking
podcast which is just look it up
and then give me the wikipedia reason
alright here we go here's some questions for the week
um
on a different not
that's what someone just wrote I think they wanted to say no
on a different not
I was wondering what did you think of the song
Baba O'Reilly by the who
I recently started listening to rock music
and I thought that this song was incredible
is it or am I just some dumb fuck
no you're not you're a young kid
and you're discovering the who and they are the shit
I would get who's next
I would get live at Leeds
start with that just just surf the internet
they got some great shit
um dear bill how much
drinking do you typically do during the week
um you're out on the road
all of the time working places
that serve booze and it seems like
would be tempting to drink pretty often
out of boredom and loneliness
I think I already to answer this
at least I could see myself doing that
if I were traveling comedian is it tough to
avoid being a lush
uh yeah kind of is you basically
become an alcoholic
out of uh
like proximity
you know it's just there it's one of those
deals where you know I don't know if you were in a bar
four nights a fucking week
I would think the odds of you drinking
would would go up uh exponentially
yes I just said that
so yeah it is
it is hard to not uh
to not drink I already
answered this shit
you know I don't know
but I gotta tell you it's fucking boring as hell
to be out here
this not drinking
has actually put me on edge
um
I mean
the way I've lived this week
out here on the road if I lived my entire life
like this I could run for president
and I wouldn't have to hire I wouldn't need
any hush money
okay I've worked out the first day
I went to the grocery store I bought food
I got a little fridge here I've been eating healthy
I went to the gym every single day
I
even brought my little practice drum pad
thing with me
fucking around learning some rudiments
I wrote jokes
okay
I looked at some internet porn alright right there
that would fucking lose a
gubernatorial fucking race gubernatorial
or whatever the fuck they say it but you know
that's the last thing
if I could just cut out the fucking internet
porn
um
I would be completely bored
that's you know
I gotta tell you that's what I am right now
I am sober right now and I am not feeling this
this unbelievable fucking high
of like wow
I can't believe all this shit I'm
I was missing all I'm thinking right now
is I can't believe how fucking long the day is
you know thank god I stayed
up until four in the morning last night
so I didn't wake up until eleven
you know
but then you end up feeling like a loser cause now it's already fucking one
I don't know I think I'm done everybody
if I don't drink I don't think I can do the
road anymore and I don't think I'm gonna be fucking selling
DVDs after my show I just
I'm not fucking doing this anymore I'm not gonna be stones fucking sober
and just
seeing a mirror image of what a fucking
moron I've been all these years
alright overrated underrated
um I didn't I don't know that
I actually got any this week so I actually
threw in a couple of mine I probably got some and I just
it's tough during the
weeks I traveled to try to save all these fucking
emails between my blackberry and this
this computer here so
uh overrated I say
expensive jeans
I remember when you know
if you had a pair of Levi's
you were cool you were in the club right
and what were they 30 40 bucks
and then people all of a sudden diesel jeans
that was the first expensive jeans I remember
and this girl was talking me into buying them and they were like
180 bucks
160 bucks this is you know this is
like eight years seven
years ago I remember like $180 for
a pair of fucking jeans is ridiculous
I could buy four or five pairs of Levi's
and she says like no but you'll see
the quality is better
they last longer and you know what
they don't
I think they look a little
better I think nice jeans look better
like at this point
then like you know there's no I mean
I think we can all agree there's nothing worse than gap
jeans you know
and they have like that sort of not quite
stonewashed look to them but you know they just
look you just look broke
I notice a lot of white
dudes and like they're
30s and 40s will be wearing
those and they'll have like a button
down sort of like
I'm gonna go see Jimmy Buffett shirt
on and they'll tuck it into that
and then they'll have a pair of dirty
white all white
Seinfeld sneakers on and
it is just like wow dude you are
fucking married with children
because
that is if ever there was the anti
pussy
that is the anti everything that is just the asexual
outfit that you could possibly be wearing
so I've been one of these guys who get sucked into buying
you know more of these expensive jeans
and these fucking things they wear out
they wear out just like
you know you want to make your jeans last
you got to buy like fucking five pairs
and you got to revolve them that's how you make them
last but if you're wearing them you know
every two to three days
like I do like a fucking
I'll tell you who's the most filthy as mother fuckers
out there are musicians
I can't believe I forgot to tell this story
right? Last week when I was
flying back from Providence Rhode Island
I decided to upgrade to first class
I just said fuck it you know
I'll deal with the the the fucking
credit card bill
it was one of those deals where I just didn't want to fly
and I'm so sick of fucking
flying and they were like hey
do you want to upgrade to first class
and I was like of course
I do and they go well we're just going to
put our Virgin Island fucking
airline dick in your ass
and I was like you know what
I don't give a shit go ahead and rape me
I want to fucking sit in a lazy boy
the entire fucking ride across the country
so that's what I do so I'm sitting down
and on the plane comes
this skinny dude with his big titted
girlfriend and they're like is there any way
you could switch seats with that so we could sit together
and I was like absolutely fucking loopy
if I was in coach right now
I'd give you a dirty look
and maybe give you some sort of bullshit
I'm superstitious I'm not changing my seat
fuck you and your love affair
but I was in first class so now I'm affable
absolutely
so I walked over and I sat in my seat
and they were fucking sitting there
the first thing this dirty ass magician does
he's got these flip-flops on right
and his fucking toes
it looks like you know
now I know why people wash Jesus' feet
I can tell you okay
this fucking guy, he looked like a bird of prey
that's the only way to describe his fucking
toenails and everything
and he did the most disgusting fucking thing
I've ever seen a human being do
halfway through the flight
this motherfucker gets up
to use
the bathroom on the airplane
and I'm going to say that
airplane bathrooms are
some of the dirtiest fucking bathrooms ever
just from turbulence alone
and the fact that it's so fucking cramped
this dirty motherfucker
he got up
in his bare feet
and just walked into the bathroom
in his fucking bare feet
I couldn't believe it
I was just, there's no fuck
there's no fucking way
there was no fucking and he just walked right in there
I mean
he should have got a tetanus shot when he came out
I couldn't fucking believe it
how filthy is that and you know what kills me
women love fucking love
musicians
absolutely love them
cannot get on their knees quick enough
to jump down into their crab infested
pubes
and stick that fucking reed in their mouth
you know
could give a fuck, could give a fuck about comedians
what are women doing at the end of the comedy show
they come up
and they say you're a loser
you talk and work and then talk about
what a piece of shit you are
really loudly
which brings me to my underrated
underrated for the week
learning how to play an instrument
unbelievably underrated
you know because if you really stick with it
you can get in a band and I say even if you suck
you're gonna get some pussy
and if not
it's just so much better than reading
and it's better than
you know you read what are you doing
you getting smarter so what
are you making the person's day next to you better
you're not but if you actually learn how to play guitar
you can play drums or something like that
I don't know I just think it's a great fucking thing
you know I'm actually excited because I actually
you know I told you guys I bought this Les Paul
guitar and by the way God rest his soul
you know Les Paul died this week
and I'm really bummed I never got a chance
to see that guy that guy was still playing shows
every Monday night in New York City
and when I was
back in New York for the month of June I actually
tried to go see the guy and
unfortunately
the night I was open where I could go see him
he was he wasn't performing
that night so I didn't get a chance to see him
and I'm really sad
about it because
I don't know that guy
is
legendary
I'm trying to see who I would
put that guy up with I mean he's right
up there with
for me anyways all the inventors
I'm so stupid
Jesus Christ Billy you're gonna put him up there with Einstein
the light bulb because the guy fucking did something
with the guitar you know what I'm gonna in my world
it's important if you guys if you're not
if you're not into uh if you don't play
an instrument or anything like that just just
Google images for a
Gibson Les Paul
and just look at how beautiful that guitar is
it's literally a fucking work of art
and even if I
didn't attempt to play guitar I think
I would still own one rather than going out
and buying a painting I would actually buy
a Les Paul
because that's how
fucking beautiful they are
but anyways I'm actually learning how to play
guitar and uh
last week I discovered
drop detuning and it might have been the greatest sound
I think I've ever produced
as a human being
on that Les Paul it just fucking sounded unbelievable
and uh
I can't wait to get back
to my apartment to take out that guitar
to not read to not watch
TV and be informed on what's going on
in the world so I can continue to sound like a moron
on this podcast
so some people can continue to take me seriously
and tell me how fucking dumb I am
even though that is my point of view
what am I talking about alright let's wrap up with this
now you know what we have to do we actually have to
hype some of my shit
okay and by we I mean me
I need to get better at this type of stuff
alright and this is what I am going to be
hyping for the rest the biggest
date that I have on the horizon for me
believe it or not
is my improv gig in Ontario
California
okay
I live in Los Angeles and I'm not
able to perform out in the LA
area because I have not
shown to the clubs
that I am a draw
you know it's a weird
I gotta get on the
Latino radio stations out there
so I can get
a significant portion of the population
to at least kind of know who the
hell I am because
I don't want to get on a fucking plane
every other week I just don't want to do it
I just don't want to even once in a while
I would like to fucking just be able
to get in a car and drive
like I did when I lived on the east coast
I'd drive down to Philly
I'd drive up to Boston
I'd make the fucking train down to DC
you know
so anyways I have this gig at the
Improv in Ontario California
it's from September 17th through the
20th
for the love of God can you and 58 of
your closest friends buy some tickets
and come out to that show I never beg
people to come out to my shows
maybe I do but I don't grovel
right now I'm groveling for the love of
God please show up to that show
so I can somehow
during the year
when I don't have to fucking
you know
just be sitting there
and row 33
can I have your attention please
this is a very full flight
all of the overhead space
is going to be used up so if you have
one of your smaller
smaller containers
if you could just put it underneath your seat
and please don't put your jackets
in the overhead compartments
this is a very full flight
and you know what everybody fucking blows it off
and they're sticking lunchboxes
and fur length fucking
full length fucking coats
as the ladies say in that
so just once
our flying time is
4 hours and 58 minutes
I would just
you know every once in a while
would like to not have to fucking listen to that
so I could just perform
in California
so for the love of God
could you Southern California people
I know you got a lot of options for the love of God
can you come out to my show thank you
alright other dates I have in September
I'm going to be in Philadelphia
this city of brotherly love
did you guys beat the Braves last night
I know that shit was going on
what do we got here
helium comedy club I'm going to be there from September 10th
through the 12th
and I got a big date coming up
in the improv Addison Texas
24th through the 26th
possibly the 27th
because I think I'm hanging around
on Monday night because the Cowboys
got a football game and my life is awesome
and I'm going to go to the fucking game
and I'm going to look at those fucking blonde
big titted fucking Dallas whores
with their Mary K cosmetics

broads is that guy from the playboy

when he had those three girlfriends I only thought one of them was hot
the other two were kind of a mess
you know the athletic one she was fucking
smoking that girl was hot
those other two girls I had absolutely
no use for them
just because you die your hair
blonde and you're in shape doesn't mean you're good looking
alright
I know I got a lot of fucking nerve
balding redhead fucking throwing down like that
alright let's fucking get on with it
alright that's the podcast for this week
that I did on a Sunday and I will be
uploading this thing
as I always do right around midnight
just to make sure that I never post them
on a Sunday
then it would be a very special
Monday morning podcast
and this one isn't special this was sort of me bitching
which is sort of the standard
so anyways I hope you guys all have a great week
once again thanks to everybody over at Capital Records
who let me take a tour of their building

greatest things I've ever gotten to do
all seriousness
