Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, June 22, 2020. 6. 6. 6. What's going on? How are you? How's it going, dude? Oh, geez. What's going. What's going on there in the States? Sorry, bad Irish accent. I'm in Belfast right now. I sat on this movie tomorrow, doing a little independent film over here. Had a great time, brought the family over the weekend, we drove up to Bally Castle, got some fish and chips at Morton's. Right. Out of the sea into the oil. Sorry, it's going to be brutal. Brutal Irish accent the whole way, or whatever the fuck it is I'm doing. Oh my God, what a gorgeous country. It's ridiculous. They. They shot some of Game of Thrones, the driver was saying, along the way up the coast. They shot some scene up there where they opened some big. There's always some big door in those medieval things, right? There's always a dragon, there's always an evil cunt for a king. Just drunk with power, you know, not unlike all the evil cunts today. Right? It's going to be interesting. You know, I really think that they know that there's a lot more of these Luigi guys coming. And that's why the level of surveillance on your life. They like this here where they're gonna sync your phone up to your license plate and they're just gonna know where the you are at all times. You know, you gotta ask yourself, why are they acting like I'm John Gotti? Why are you acting like I have some sort of social club, you know, And I'm hanging out drinking an espresso in Little Italy in the 1980s wearing a shiny fucking suit. I'm not. I'm a fucking jerk off who goes to work and pays his taxes. Why do you need to know where the fuck I'm at at all times? And because it's not anything that you or I are doing, it's what they're doing and what they're about to do. They know our reaction if somehow we all get on the same side, which I don't think we're going to because there's too many mouth breathing fucking morons out there that believe anything that CNN or Fox News says. I don't know that we ever get on the same side. And just like the level of like lies that are. Are on the Internet to try to decipher what's the truth. And I actually think that these evil cunts that are beyond the politicians, I think that they do that they put out over the top lies about themselves out there. So then you're not going to believe the truth when it comes out. Like there was one attributed to Jeff Bezos that he felt that these data centers had priority over the water, over human beings, because human beings aren't going to evolve. But AI is was totally fabricated. So now they got that out there. So now besos can actually say and do crazy things because you. Oh, that's. That's some more of that fake shit. Anyway. I think it's going to be like the future's really, you know, got to give up to Hollywood. They kind of saw it. They saw it coming, you know, with Blade Runner and all of that shit. I really think that that's Waterworld, Blade Runner, those, you know. What's the other classic one, not Dune? My God, I'm drawing a blank. The Mel Gibson one set in a dystopian future, driving all those crazy cars, and the guy with the fucking Mohawk. I'll remember it at the end of the podcast. That feels like whoever survives on the wrong side of the data center, that's what your life's going to be. And the whole world's either going to be flooded or be a giant beach. And we'll all have to come together to try to find what mountain the 1% are living under, eating Kobe beef and doing whatever it is they're into with underage fucking children. These, by the way, these are all real references. This is how fucked up the goddamn world is at this point. But anyway, I'm having a great time here in Belfast. And one of these days when I have a day off, I want to take one of those black cab tours that they have over here that goes through the history of all that stuff I saw when I was growing up with the troubles over here. And it's obviously a really dark tour, but I don't know, I like to know where I'm at, what happened before I got here, instead of just being some fucking idiot walking around getting fish and chips over here. I mean, I don't just want to steer into the negative. I will say this. What's amazing about Belfast, if you go into a publisher, very few people are on their phone. Everybody's drinking and talking. It's very social, very, you know, telling stories the way it was when I was growing up. Like, we went into this bar, it was funny, me and my lovely wife, we go into this bar and there's this group of like 15 lads and one of them is wearing a wedding dress. So Nia saw the person. I don't know how she read it. I was sitting there going like, oh, is that some guy that transitioned and he's getting married now? I didn't know what the fuck was going on. And then we got over there and he was just acting normal. Normal for me is straight. Right? What is. Why would you use the word normal? Cause that's my fucking normal, you cunt. So he's just acting regular. That's even more insulting. So I'm like, wait a minute. This doesn't seem like some transitional thing here. So me and Nia trying to guess. So Nia goes, he lost a bet. That's why he's got away. Because no one was really, like, reacting that he was dressed that way. They all just came in like it was fucking normal. And I go, no. I go, I bet he's getting married. And this is like what they do, like some bachelor party sort of hazing thing. And she goes, no, he lost a bet. And she goes, he has to wear it for a week. So I started cracking up going, I love how you just built in that time frame. So your theory works. So I forget what we bet. We bet something stupid. And it turned out he was getting married or whatever. But what I did notice is that they were all just drinking and talking, and only one guy was on his phone for, like, half a second. So I don't know. That made me feel good. And then, what was it? Saturday night, I went up and did a spot in front of these huge podcasters over here. I never even get the name of the podcast, but they were playing this arena. So this comedian I've got to know over here is working on the movie today. Come down, do some time. And that's this weird thing out here where they don't do stand up. Really don't have stand up on, like, Friday and Saturday nights, because everybody's out drinking, talking, shooting the. Or whatever. So they have comedy. Like, I think Sunday through Thursday is more, like, palatable for them out here. So anyway, the only game in town was this. This big show at, like, this hockey arena. It was like, I don't know, four, five thousand people. And I went out and I did all right. I was a little rusty, but I'm gonna try to do a couple more spots when I'm out here, you know, because I think I might do a show, you know, to kind of pad independent film, you know, it's not a lot of. Not a lot of dough on These things. But it's a great script so I had to do it. So anyway, that's, that's what I'm up to. So anyways, we went up to Bally Castle and when we got up there, we were sitting there eating the fish and chips, you know, my wife and two kids and everything. It was just incredible, you know, and all of these guys on motorcycles because, like, it's sort of like it was like the PCH in California with like New England sort of like trees and stuff and greenery, but like with the farmland of maybe like an upstate New York or something with the ocean. It was, it was gorgeous. So it's a great place to ride a motorcycle. You know, all these twists and turns and stuff. And I saw like there was a bunch of old guys still riding motorcycles out here. Made me feel good. This one guy had like the full on MotoGP leathers, you know, with the airbag in the back. And I was thinking to myself, like, yeah, you know, why wouldn't you, why wouldn't you wear all that? I always see like, you know when people just wear regular clothes on a motorcycle. I mean it, you look like a badass or whatever, but you just think like, dude, if somebody fucking hits you and you go down, it's just going to take it right down to the bone. Crazy, crazy. I saw this, this, this Instagram video. This lady, she's on a chopper, she's just tattooed all over it. She's wearing like a bikini and no helmet, like flip flops. And she's just sitting there looking at traffic, waiting to go in. And then she hun jaan ja. She goes down the fucking street. Brown is a fucking belt from decades of just being out in the sun, just like this fucking emaciated, like lizard. I don't know. She'd been out in the sun so long, I think like her skin was like riding leathers at that point anyway, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how the people do like that. Like, I'm always thinking about stuff like that. What if this happens? What if that happens? Yeah, I don't get that. Like if you ride a Harley, you have to dress like somebody's 8th grade bully. You know, if you wallet chain and that. I want to normalize wearing One of those MotoGP suits, riding a fucking road glide. Yeah, laugh all you want. I'm just gonna fucking, you know, slide and get right up and be like, all right, well, all it's gonna cost me is the price of the bike. I don't have to take skin off my ass and put it on my fucking leg, whatever the hell it is they're doing. Jesus, this is a dark goddamn conversation. So anyway, I'm acclimated to the time over here, and I'm gonna, I gotta hit the gym today. I got my coffee place. I've been taking the kids all around. They got some miniature golf and like that to do around here. But I start working tomorrow, so I just wish I started today. Like, I love doing this, but, like, the anxiety I get just waiting for that first take, that's what I, I, I. It's the, it's never the gig. It's the waiting to do the gig. You know, in my brain, it, it still goes to the, the exact same place it went to the first time I ever had an acting gig. What if I stink? What if I get fired? What if I fuck this up? Still think that I was thinking that before I did that, that show, Stand up. What if they don't find me funny? What if I bomb? What if this is it? What if I'm washed up? Please welcome Bill Burr. I just walk out there and then it always, it always goes fine. But I, I don't know. I wish I didn't do that, you know, I don't know. I don't do it necessarily in the States if I'm doing standup, but I, I do it when I go overseas. I do it with standup, but I always do it with acting. And it was really difficult when I first started acting because basically, after you do a take, if nobody says anything to you, then that means you did a good job. And I come from the, the exact opposite. Instant feedback. So it took me a minute. So I would, like, finish the take and nobody's saying anything. And I'd be like, looking around, literally would ask the nearest person holding, like, a microphone, like, was that good? And they're just looking at, like, I'm not listening. I'm just making sure there's no airplane flying over us right now. I'm not actually listening to what you're doing, you know, so it took a second to, I don't know, to get into that. Anyway, you guys watching the World Cup? I just keep seeing scores. I saw Spain kick the shit out of somebody four to nothing, four nil, as they say over here. And I don't know, I want to get into it. What was cool is my, my. Some friends of mine got these, these books for my kids that have all the World cup teams and you collect, like, the stickers and you put them in the book. And, you know, they got a whole bunch of stickers. And Nia and one of her friends was making fun of me, going, like, geez, Bill, you're really into that book. Like, you're really. And it's like, well, he told me to put them all in there. And then also, yeah, if. When I was a kid, this is the kind of thing that if Topps came out with one of these, I'd have to get all the stickers, memorize all the players and all of that. So what I like about this thing is it takes me back to those days. And then also, I like all the different flags you learn in that stuff. And also, like, where countries are makes you look up countries. Know there's some I've never even heard of. You know, there's a lot of country. You know, there's a lot of countries out there. And I went to public schools in the United States, and we act like we're the only country. You know, we talk about a few European countries on the west coast, and then it just becomes continents, you know, like Asia. It's like Japan, China, Asia, and the Middle East. Is the Middle East. They never told us it was in Asia. They just said it was the Middle East. Then you had Australia. Never brought up New Zealand. You had the United States, Canada and Mexico, South America. Then you just had Africa. And then in Europe, there was England, France and Spain, because they would talk about all of these. These conquistadors or the Magellan or something. So you get a little bit of Italy. And that was kind of. It never talked about Germany because we would never even work our way up to the. The 20th century. And then all Germany is. Is just fucking World War I and World War II. You know, they ignore any. Everything before it and all the Porsches they made after it. So I have a very limited. Thank God I became a comedian, because I am able to now like certain things. Becoming a comedian, drumming. You know, if you get into drumming, eventually you're going to end up in India and Africa, you know, Africa. Viewer via. Like Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and all of that. You just end up leading yourself back there. And then what happens when you get back there? There's Ginger Baker interrupting a drum circle in Africa. That fucking guy. Somebody please explain to me. You know, I'm not saying the guy's not a legend, but like in that documentary, Beware of Mr. Baker, when Eric Clapton. When they compared John Bonham to Ginger Baker, he Literally goes like, oh, no, no. He's not even. He's not even in the same fuck. It's like. Like, is this some math? Is this because he's playing like a polyrhythm? I mean, isn't it, at the end of the day, your ability as a drummer to connect with the audience, build a foundation for the rest of the band and get people moving? I just tell you this, all I know is, is if I show that Royal Albert Hall, John Bonham drumming in that, if I show that to anybody, drummer or not, their jaw is on the fucking ground. And I gotta listen to more. I gotta listen to more Gingerbread. I want to figure it out. I didn't. When they did the reunion tourney, took a solo, I heard that and I was like, oh, all right. Yeah. That was the first time I, like, listened to him. And he. And he did something that made me pay attention. This is probably me. I don't know. But, like, I just don't. You know, in the white room with black curtains at the station. That this is. This is. This is what the. You're flipping out about, Right? The beats backwards. Yeah. Okay, great. He's clapping like white people. Fantastic. I don't know. I don't know. You know, I liked about John Bonham, he could. He could, like, enjoy Elvin Jones and leave it at that. He didn't have to challenge him to, like, a drum battle. So he could somehow glom off of like. And put himself in the same stratosphere as Elvin Jones. Whatever. That's just my opinion. That's my opinion. I also think that, like, if you're a drummer and you're publicly trashing other drummers, especially dead ones, you're a cunt. You're an insecure. Like, who does that? Who the fuck. Who, who, who, who would do that? And then put yourself above them? Maybe, like me as a comedian, just going, oh, so and so. Couldn't tell a knock, knock joke if his life depended on, he's not funny. She doesn't know it's fuck, she's doing bunch of rubbish. And then I go on stage with my jokes. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I don't know. For me, that band Cream. The Cream was Jack Bruce. That was the guy. His playing and his singing. That guy was on a whole other level than the other two guys in the band. I thought he was. He was the guy. And I thought Clapton was cool as. And I thought Ginger Baker thought he was the guy, but he wasn't the guy. I Think that, you know, that's what it should say on his tombstone. Ginger Baker. He thought he was the guy. Oh, I am going in. I've sat on this for a long fucking time because I question my opinion. I'm probably still wrong, but, like, I don't know, maybe this will start. Somebody could explain to me his high opinion of himself and his low opinion of all these guys trashing John Bonham in Keith Moon and they're dead. Who does that? I mean, don't us Ginger cunts already have a bad enough reputation? Did we really need him out there being the stereotype? I don't know. I get Will Chamberlain vibes from that guy, you know? You know, the, the big knock on Wilt Chamberlain is like, during his prime. He got traded like three times, which is usually the red flag that you're a cunt. The fact that he was in like, in his prime. He was in like. Was it Cream, traffic and Blind Faith? You know, it's like. All right, all right, Ginger. Okay. You and your drums. Okay, bye. Bye. All right, Ginger. I don't. I don't. I don't think I want to do this anymore. Okay, buddy. All right then. Yeah, you go buy some polo horses. I'm gonna go over here and just have a cup of tea and, you know, decompress from whatever the that was. I thought music was supposed to be fun. I mean, that's what I heard. Are you ever gonna grow out that ponytail? We just, we're just gonna keep it at that length. Is, Is that. Is that what we're doing? Imagine having that opinion of you, like during the height of James Brown and his drummers, and you're doing. And the James Brown drummers are doing what they're doing. Then you're walking around like you're Ginger. Jesus. Here's another thing, too. I love all these people that claim they played on a Beatles album. There's some Quincy Jones story out there that he came in there and he was like, raw. He's just like, yeah, the, the Paul McCartney's the worst bass player ever heard. And Ringo couldn't get this drum part right, so he left. And then I brought this other guy in while Ringo was out getting a sandwich. And Ringo comes back and listens back to his track and goes, hey, this sounds pretty good. And Quincy Jones is like, yeah, that's cuz it's not you, motherfucker. And it's just like, let me get this straight. Quincy Jones in the 1960s. 1960s. Quincy Jones when he's just building his legend, right? He walked into Apple Recording Studios in the middle of recording, told Paul he was the worst bass player he'd ever heard. Ringo left and he called up a drummer, what, from around the corner. And while Ringo was out getting a cup of tea, they fucking laid down the track and that's what the fuck it was. I'm supposed to believe that's true? Okay. Oh, and then my favorite part, he sounds exactly like Ringo. All right, okay, maybe, maybe that happened. Maybe that happens. I think my point is, is when you sell a lot of albums, specifically if you sell more albums than another person, it breeds resentment. And then they talk a bunch of my business, stand up comedy, you know, somebody starts selling a bunch of tickets, right? Especially if it's a young kid, right? All that shit that, that Matt Rife got great guy. Met him a couple of times. What is the problem? Ah, there's all these old comics. This fucking young guy went out, started doing stand up and everybody liked him and he sold him a, sold a bunch of tickets and made his dream come true. It's like, yeah, yeah, that's sounds pretty awesome. I think the lesson in life is not to become Ginger Baker. You know, whatever it is that you do that you can be excited and happy when somebody new comes along because you understand that whatever it is that you're doing for a job does not belong to you. And you're not the last one. Oh my God. You know who could learn from that is all of these nerds in Silicon. Silicon Valley. Not Silicone Bill. Silicon Valley. Yeah, all of them. Like the way that they build these apps is so they can come in and take over an entire business and close the door behind them and then be the only store, put everybody else out of business and then dictate the market price. And then when they do that, they start eating themselves from the inside out. We have 200 employees now. We have 100. And 100 have to do the job of 200 people. And I take those 100 fired people's yearly salaries as my bonus. And then you just do that, you know, I don't know. My prediction is they're going to be a lot more Luigis in the future and that CNN and FOX are going to continue to act confused or what they really start doing is they start spinning it in a different way. Oh, he was an ex football player and he had CTE and he went into the wrong office. They start doing that shit. Anything that they can do to not, you know, if it's a school shooter. Oh, you Know, that's the kind of thing that divides everybody. The Second Amendment people were versus the people that don't think, you know, you should have anything beyond a pistol. Or maybe they want to get rid of guns altogether. They just turn into everybody yelling at each other, all right? But when all of a sudden a second amender kills a fucking CEO, then they, and they start going like, oh, he was actually trying to do this, but then he did that, so nothing to see here. And then you ask them, hey, can you stop glorifying these people and putting their faces and names out there that shoot up these fucking schools so you'll stop encouraging psychos to do this. They're like, what? Sorry, you're breaking up. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. All right, let's do the reads for, for the week here. Oh, look who it is, everybody. It's simply safe.

It's me Undies. Me undies. Me undies. No more sweaty balls. Me Undies. Me undies. Wear them out in a stall. Jump out there and shake your nuts. Your balls are cool. You don't give a fuck when you buy some fucking meundies. And they're perfect to cool your nuts in the summertime when you're down at the pool. All right, Meundies. You know, I was at the DMV the other day. I was packed, no ac. Guy next to me smelled like he'd been living inside a hockey bag since 2007. Somehow I'm sitting there comfortable, which honestly made no sense. Then I realized it was the meundies. Usually halfway through one of those miserable errands, your underwear starts turning against you there, waistband digging in, swamp situation happening. Fabric bunching up like a window curtain. Not these things. Meundies are ridiculously comfortable. Soft, breathable, stretchy. All the fun adjectives. They actually stay where they're supposed to stay without you constantly adjusting yourself in public. And when it's hot, and believe me, it gets hot, they keep you cool instead of turning your pants into a sauna, which as a grown man is really all I'm asking for at this point. And fellas, the fellas, they got this thing called the ball caddy, which first of all, incredible name. It's basically a boxer brief with a built in pouch for your precious cargo. Everything stays supported and separated, secure. It's like a push up bra for your nuts. No bunching, no awkward adjusting, none of that nonsense. You put these things on and suddenly you're walking around with confidence of a guy who finally got his act together. Your balls finally broke up and got out of that suffocating situation. And Me Undies has tons of styles too. Boxers, briefs, trunks, all the good stuff. Plus over 100 colors and prints if you want to get a little flashy.

Oh, look, we're talking more drums. Oh, we're talking more drums. Russia's new drummer. I've seen some clips. I am a big fan already and I've never seen Rush. I never seen Rush live. Hey, Bill. I'm a lifelong Rush fan. I saw them 23 times with Neil Peart. When I heard they were touring with a new drummer, I wasn't sure I wanted to go. I saw the final shows and had my final moments with the band and it was awesome. Three guys who love playing music. No drama, no, just music. And a true appreciation for their fans. I mean, they really did stick together. Didn't seem like there was a lot of drama between them. I know Neil had a lot of drama, like a lot of tragedy in his personal life. When tickets went on sale for this tour, I was reluctant because the final tour was really special. I ended up going anyways and I'm glad I did. The new drummer is great. I'd also like to point out, while Rush's main demo was aging balding white men, none of them had a problem with the lady drummer. Well, I think that that speaks to the guys in Rush, you know, and the kind of music they made and the vibe that they put out that they attracted those kinds of open minded people in their crowd. Plus I also think at this point I don't think a woman drumming. I mean, personally for me, thinking that women couldn't drum. I mean, I saw Karen Carpenter when I was a kid and then I saw Sheila E. So I was like, you know, I was like, I think they can because I can't fucking do that. Tens of thousands of men who look just like you, all embracing her talents. These are the balding white men. Something to remember for everyone living and dying by Stereotypes. The show was amazing. They honored Neil and Gideon. Alex sounded as good as ever. Check it out if you can. Thanks for the podcast. I would go. You know what, I would go to that. I would bring my daughter to that for her to see their new drummer up there. Wish she said her name, but I like her feel. You know, Neil was sort of. I felt like right on the beat, which really made it really worked with the band. Like, I. I feel like that kind of drumming works with everything from like Rush to like the Cult or something like that. You know, that really on the beat thing and then other if you're pushing it or if you're a little laid back and I don't know, I haven't watched a bunch of stuff, but whatever this woman is doing, she's. I feel like she's breathing new life into those parts. And I know it reminds me of when I saw last time I saw Primus and they had a new drummer. There's like, you know, it's just breeze, new life, a new feel into it. You know, like in both instances you're seeing two people get like their dream gig, so just their excitement just brings something new. I mean, I, you know, they both have to be thinking, I can't believe I'm playing Neil. Pure Spart or Tim Alexander stuff. I don't know, I. I think that it can definitely be a. A new thing, but it never sounds the same, though. And I always think that that's like the testament of whether. Whether somebody's like a great drummer or not is if you leave the band and the band does not sound the same. I've said this before. I always felt that like, you know, I always loved Tom Petty throughout the whole. And the Heartbreakers throughout the whole thing, but once Stan lynch left, they never sounded the same. I'm not saying they sounded worse. They just didn't sound like the same band. Stephen Adler, not being in Guns N Roses. The same thing, I think. I don't know. For me, that's like the. The coolest thing, the highest like level of a compliment for a drummer that even like non drummers notice that it doesn't sound the same. I don't know, it's just a testament to how unique your feel was or how much it worked in the band. All right, I'm done talking all this nerd drum. But if I have a chance to see Rush with their new drummer, I will definitely do it. All right, where are we here? Let's go. Brutal Bungee in Brazil. Bill, I'm a Belief there's no reason to jump off a building or out of a plane. If you're in love with the activity, that's one thing. Maybe you become a professional and you care about all the details. Want to dive head first into it. No pun 10. No pun intended. But people will just do shit like that on vacation. But people who will do that shit like that on vacations are morons. In this case I feel bad. A 21 year old girl, you know you're going to call her a moron. How about the people that like, how about the people that were running that, that bungee cord experience not having like some fail safe checks and balance pre flight something or other. A 21 year old girl was lifted by two guys working the bungee jump into the airplane position and thrown off a bridge. The problem is they forgot to tie her in. She died. Oh my God. There were six total workers, all wearing blue shirts and clearly identifiable in the video. Two of them tried to flee when they realized what happened. It's a great defense for the people who get made fun for doing vacations like a Sandals resort. Thanks. And go yourself. Yeah, I, I just, there's nothing funny about that story. I mean that was somebody's daughter. And then, you know, those, those people that did it, they have to live with that for the rest of their lives. Oh my God. And that, that's like the ultimate like jumping out of the plane. You forgot to put on your parachute. I would think anybody that skydives on a regular basis has that nightmare, you know. Yeah. I will tell you. I, I, you know, that's like dying on vacation is a very easy thing to do when you do these, these things like those, those, do you ever see those things like they, they drag you behind a boat and you have like a parachute on and then you're way up in the air, you know, they make sure you're just high enough to die that if you hit the water it's now going to be like cement. I don't know, maybe because you're near the beach, it's sort of churning, so it's moving. There's something about these high dive people that they throw a rock in first that you know, gets the water churning so it's not just hitting like a flat piece of concrete. I don't know, like here's, I'll give you a quick list of shit that I would never do. Bungee jump, parasail, hang glide, African safari in an open fucking vehicle. If I can't put the window up, fuck that I'm not going. I'm not going. And these fucking lions and cheetahs and leopards are starting to understand that the car is the car and the person is the person. Where before they kind of looked at it all as like one big thing. I don't know. I wouldn't do that whitewater rafting, any of that. Where it's just like, you know, hey, we're going to do. We're going to do some that you usually see in the beginning of a James Bond movie. I'm not doing that because it's A, dangerous and B, it's their moneymaker. So their job is to throw as many people off the fucking bridge, get as many people up in the air as humanly possible. And they are just. Whatever gear they have is just being used over and over and over and over again. And I would love to know on those bungee things if there's any in from country to country. I would think that regulations are different. I would imagine in some countries there's a finite amount of times you can use it, and then in other countries it's at your discretion. You just sort of look to see if it's frayed or anything. But I can't. My condolence to that girl that died and her parents and all of her friends. That is just fucking horrific. I am. When I go on vacation, I like to just find a cafe and I like to just sit and just watch people go by and get into the vibe or like, you know, do what I did yesterday, go on like a road trip. But, you know, I would rent a motorcycle and ride through a countryside or. I've always wanted to ride one of those through Paris or something. But what I like about that is I'm depending on myself. You know, it's not like just some carnival ride that's going 247 and they're burning out the engine or some shit. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, Guy faces jail for cleaning river. What? Billy? Three, four. Check out this article about a guy who is being threatened with jail time for cleaning up a river without permission. Paul Powell's Land, a lawyer and environmental campaigner, organized a team of volunteers to tackle the removal of litter, weed and silt from a section of the river rotting. After repeatedly asking the agency to act, the team of volunteers from the river rotting trust removed 200 bags of rubbish, branches and silt over 10 days from Alders Brook, a tributary of the river that runs through rural Essex. Embarking earlier this year. But the EA has Sent Prosland a letter saying he's being investigated for illegally intervening. Intervening without a permit. We consider that unpermitted works have taken place. This is the quote from the cunts in contravention of the environmental permitting. Permitting, sorry. England and Wales Regulations, 2016, read the letter seen by the Guardian. It added, the site is currently under investigation for permitting and waste offenses. The EA alleges dredging has been carried out and waste has been on site within the floodplain, constituting a flood risk. Activating activity under the regulations that would have required an environmental permit. Carrying out the work without one is an offense, it states. So they're saying that it would what? When they put the trash bags on the side of the river, it could have caused the water to back up and fly. I don't understand how that's a flood. Dredging has been carried out and waste has been left on the site within the flood plain. Oh, if there's some sort of flood and it goes up the banks, they left the trash bags there. The agency said it would carry out additional investigation to see if further relevant information came to light, including whether Posland land and volunteers had committed other offenses and the environmental impact of the offenses. Powslin Land, who lives on a boat on rotting, said he asked the EA to clean up the river several times over many years, but it had not acted. After decades of ignoring rampant environmental crime on the rotting, the environmental agency has finally decided to act, he said. But it's not action against Thomas Water tames water for dumping billions of liters of sewage in the rotting or the waste criminals who have dumped thousands of tons of rubbish on its bank. But against a river rotting Trust for restoring a river without a permit. This world is so fucked up. Yeah, because I can guarantee you that. Let's see. Tames water, pays off all the politicians. That's why they never get in trouble. Then if you go in and you try to try to do something about it that happens in like the states, these guys will fucking come over and they do do a yard cleanup and the cops come in and tell them to stop and they're going, we're doing it for free. And they say, you can't do it because when a lawn gets overrun like that, what they want to do is just start giving the old person all of these fines. So then they have to leave the house and then they kick the property back into play for the banks. So you know it's coming from the banks. That's their way of getting old people out of their Houses, but not when they don't have to wait for them to die. Bankers. There's some other people. There's some other people that probably had the nerve to act surprised about a Luigi guy. All right. Microplastic thunder. Thoughts? I Bill, want to get hella mad at something new. Also, this email is kind of long and has some science terms and I know you're dyslexic as so this is going to be a rough ride for everyone, but might be worth it. All right. I mean, I'm not going to argue with that. Heard the part where you mentioned microplastics and how they put them in everything. Now there's a good new conspiracy I found going down some rabbit holes that's not too reported on. So microplastics have something called xenoestrogens, which are basically substances that mimic estrogen. So the microplastics have xenoestrogens, which are basically substances that mimic estrogens. And when microplastics reach the brain, it disrupts a protein called progranulin, which has estrogen receptors. The progranulin protein is directly responsible for brain inflammation. And this brain inflammation is probably what's causing most of us to be mad at each other other than the usual. So microplastics are basically designed to with some the same protein that makes us mad at each other as well as others. I think it's just a happy accident. It's just plastics were cheaper than natural raw materials, so they went with that. And when they found out the side effects of it, they just don't give a fuck. Parentheses yeah, I know no one likes science stuff, but it gets more interesting is what they say, okay, deeper down the rabbit hole, the protein progranulin is the exact same protein literally all parasitic organisms target to take control of a host. All parasites have an altered version of that protein that they use against their other organisms. So microplastics, which are just put in everything now seem to seem designed to mimic the same mechanism a parasite uses, which is kind of bullshit if you ask me. So, yeah, just thought it'd be funny if you were the one to shed light on it. And at least it's more of an interesting conspiracy than the other ones we have now. I mean, they're all pretty fucking interesting at this point. Yeah, I'm sure all of that is true, but I also, the people that profit off of plastics and everything, they have to drink the same water we do. I don't think they have their own, you know, Illuminati river in water. But who knows? Maybe they do. I just think if they were going to kill all of us, they would do it in a much quicker fashion. They would want to do it in their lifetime. They wouldn't want to. Like, like, I just don't think that they give a fuck about anything. They don't give a fuck about the planet. They only look at things one way. They're like junkies. And I hope someday in the future that these robber barons people are going to look at them the same way they look at somebody, like, addicted to heroin, that they're like this junkie, except they don't use drugs. Theirs is like money and power and they just, they can't say no. And they'll do anything. The same way a junkie will go rob money from his mother. They. These fucking people will pollute rivers, they'll cause wars, they'll increase cancer in children. They don't give a fuck as long as the next quarter they're making more money. They're truly sick people and they should be getting the death penalty for what they're doing to people, making them sick, giving them cancer. And it shouldn't be a quick death. It should be a long, agonizing death. Like cancer, you know, it is what it is. All I know is if I, if I put poison in the water or if I poison the food supply as an individual, yeah, that would be a wrap. I would be sitting on death row right now. These fucking guys instead are sitting in mansions on the way to their yachts. Oh, Jesus, Bill. The hypocrisy. Anyway, I'm gonna go try to get some coffee in a real cup so I don't inflame my brain. Thank you guys for listening to the podcast. I hope you're going to enjoy your summer. Oh, by the way, I didn't even talk about that fire out there in LA. My God, LA, all of you fucking assholes who talk about how plastic LA is and all of that, you wouldn't fucking last out there. The level of tough you have to be and a little bit crazy to fucking live in L. A, you know, this is another thing too, that I loved about that New York Knicks championship when they were talking about when they had the parade and they were going like everybody was nice to each other, they were saying hello, people were helping each other out. That is in a nutshell too, why it's great to live in New York, but eventually you have to fucking leave because you only get one life and there's no reason to put yourself through that you just sort of institutionalize and you're believing this thing, that this is the greatest place in the world and. And there's no other place exists. There's no place better, which is. Is insane. And New Yorkers are. Are so fucking brainwashed if you bring that logic up to them, that, you know, you can live somewhere that has fresh air and people are nice to each other and is affordable to live, and you don't have to be like a zillion miles away and there's nothing to do. You can still be close by. They just go, yeah, see, you know, you don't get it. You don't get it. Like, somehow you don't get. It's like, dude, I've lived both places. I've not lived in New York, and I've lived in New York. I get why it's awesome. But I also get why you should leave at some point. Don't want to lose your edge, you know? Don't lose that anger. Yeah, you do. You do. You want to spend your whole life being fucking miserable smelling human feces. Yeah, you don't get it. Yeah, I guess I don't. I guess I don't. All right, that's it, everybody. That is the podcast. And shout out to all the firefighters that are fighting that. That fire. And I hope the fucking state gives them the right respiratory, whatever they need, you know, that they didn't give the firefighters on 9 11. I hope they're doing the right thing this time. All right, that's it. Sorry to end on a sad note there. All right, that's it. Go fuck yourselves. I'll check in on you on Thursday.
