Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, August 18, 2025. What's going on? How are ya? Oh my God. Where is this summer going? Can some. Hang on. Can someone just explain to me where the summer went? I swear to God it. It was almost like it was just winter and now it's the end of summer. There's no goddamn spring or fall anymore. I'll tell you what, you can't stay anymore. The four seasons. They got to change the name to the two Seasons. You know what it is? It's because of Trump and Joe Biden and they were listening to Obama and Bush, who had the Clintons ears, who talked to George Bush senior and he brought it all to Ronald Reagan. And they all decided there was going to be only two seasons because they didn't like having to move their shit out of the attic four times a year. They just wanted two clothes, winter and summer. That's true. But you'll never see that on the Internet because the world's afraid of it. Sorry. Oh my God. Red Sox lost today. What a fun ass fucking team to watch. So I'm having such a good time getting caught up with those guys. Marcelo Meyer, is that his name? 22 year old third baseman. We got a 21 year old kid in left field. We're fucking young. The words of the late great Kevin Knox. Yeah, young. Yeah, yeah. They're coming on. We're in first place for the wild card. I think we could win the first round. Surprise. Somebody build off of that. I'll tell you, they've been wearing those alternative uniforms so much, it was weird to see their regular ones. I gotta tell you, I fucking hate to say this, I like the green monster ones. First it was the hat and now I'm looking at the jersey and I'm like, ah, right. That's fucking cool. And I love green. God damn it. Now I got. Now you know. So what do I do? What do I do? I go on the fucking website and the hats all sold out. It's all sold out. You can't try to buy the hat on the day that they're wearing it because too many people are at home going, I want one of those. And I was one of those people. I was one of those people. I got left out in the fucking rain, man. You would think all these years sitting out there in the bleaches, you know, with all the other big headed Bostonians, they would have a hat my fucking size. And they do not. Although here's. Here's a good one for you. Don't try to buy merch for your team when they're hot as a pistol. As they always say, Best home record. Best record at home since June. Something. They keep saying that. And then we have the most walk off wins of the year. What does that all translate to? I don't know, about six games out of first place. I think the Blue Jays won, you know, and I. That's good, man. You know, Toronto, I don't get mad at the. Canada needs a winner. You. You know what I mean? Like, I always felt like Canadian people never. White people in Canada never really got their due for, like how evil they are, you know what I mean? Because of that imaginary line, we act like they're not also from Europe and they're also not from countries that began the slave trade. You know, they were just up there. So they got like cut off. Like, you remember, like behind the Music. And there'd be some big band and there'd always be some dude who got kicked out or quit the band early on. And then the band goes on to play fucking arenas, you know what I mean? I feel like that's what happened to the white Europeans that settled up in Canada. Like they, they were like that first drummer or that rhythm guitarist, he just didn't have the look, you know, or he knocked up his girlfriend and that was it, you know, and they missed out on, you know, us, you know, being a part of us and saying how awesome we are while, you know, oppressing people. You missed out on it. We are the Oprah Winfrey of countries. Except nobody gets a car. It's just you got mass weapons of mass destruction and you got weapons of men. You got weapons of mass destruction. Everybody freaking out in the audience. Canada missed out. So why can't they be up five fucking games in the AL east on August 18th? You got a good reason. Can you explain that to me? Why they shouldn't be up five games? I had that Bad Company song in my head. Ooh, I want you today and I don't know any of the music. I don't. I've heard that song. I don't know any of the lyrics. I'm ready for love. I know the hook. I keep. I keep singing the name of Billy Squire's drummer in it, the late, great Bobby Schumannard. Bobby Shoe and on. Bobby Shoe and on. Ooh, I want you to stay yeah, all day long and then I think about Eddie Murphy when he played Buckwheat when I get to the chorus. I'm ready Panub. Oh baby, I'm ready Panub. I went to the gym today and I was singing along to this song and I was singing ready Pnub. And this woman on the treadmill just looked over and gave me a weird look. And she was one of the rare people that did not have like those little fucking white earplug things in. She actually wasn't listening to any music. And I just walked by going Reddit old Billy Backbend three quarters of the way up. Huh? How do you like that? How do you like that? Pasty is all get out. White as the fucking snow on the first day of fucking the year. Barely any pigment, barely any athletic ability. Ugly as a four day bender. And there he is getting three quarters inexplicably. If you could see the level of shock on people's face when they see a fucking 57 year old white man get on the mat, make a look of pain, a wincing look on his as he anticipates the pain and getting up. I mean it's literally, it's like the spruce goose. I'm not going to lie to you. If you ever saw the one and only flight of the spruce goose down, I think it was down near Long beach. It had like 19 engines on both fucking wings. I mean this guy was just. Howard Hughes was. There was something wrong with that guy. And I think it was called syphilis. I think he had syphilis. It entered through his penile corridor and ended up in his brain. This guy. Fucking. He crashed. He's crashed more planes than I have cars. Although I have an impeccable driving record. But I've been in some accidents when I was younger, you know, when drinking and driving was actually on the sheet to be considered an Olympic event. At the last second we came to our senses, we're like, no, this is stupid. This is killing people, all right? We already have the tt. We don't need Olympic level drinking and driving. That'd be amazing. Oh my God. You do a throwback 80s night, okay? The music, the fashion, the hairstyles, all of that. And then you have one of those figure 8 racetracks and it's the fucking. It's the drinking and driving. What do you got? The Daytona 500. This would be the day drinking 50 or something. I just got to somehow see 500. I don't know. The day drinking 500. And it's you and another driver. Just hear me out on this, all right? It's just you and another Driver. Everybody signed their fucking waivers. Your waivers, Rancheros, okay? You get into your car, right? It's all safe. You got a fire suit on and shit. But you know what's funny is you would see the most accidents and the least amount of injuries. The dude driving drunk never gets hurt. He can be ejected through the fucking windshield, and he's just. He's like one of those fucking things outside a car wash. You know those things, they blow the air up in. Just a giant Gumby. Like, have you seen. You must have seen that clip where those people were mouthing off on the golf course. Some public golf course shit, right? Because they don't have to worry about our membership, so they're getting after it, right? One foursome is yelling at another foursome, and it turns out one of the guys is a retired hockey player. So, of course, there's always some guy, you know, who just thinks if he yells, let's go. Intensely enough, he'll know how to fight, you know, let's go. Let's fucking go. He was doing that and literally got into a fight with a former NHL enforcer. Now, this isn't what I want you to watch in the video. What people. They're all making fun of in the. He throws the fucking dude into a. Into a. Into a. Into a marsh, into a lake, into a. Into a pond, into a. Sound. I don't. I don't know how big the water is. A lake throws him into the pond. The kid comes. Comes out of the pond like Jason in Friday the 13th. And it. Like, it wasn't enough for going into the pond. Didn't sober him up at all. He was just like, that's all you got? That's all you got? I'm gonna walk up to you in squishy sneakers and socks right now. Coming up to you. So he goes after the guy again. And this is when I'm telling you why drunk drivers never seem to get hurt and everybody else does. When the hockey player throws that guy, the complete lack of resistance that he has to any of it, he's like. Like a fucking newspaper in the wind. He just. Fuck. He just goes with it. And he's not like. Like jello. And he just fucking lands. And he pops right back up again. Nothing. Shoulders not blown out. Didn't break his collarbone. What gets you hurt is you go. You tense up and everything's all rigid. But this guy, he went. I'm telling you, he went like. He just got. There was nothing he could do. It was like. He just fucking went with it and he landed and fucking popped right back up again. So anyway, everybody's, you know, making these memes about this guy getting thrown or whatever, but they're missing the lesson here. The lesson here is if you're drunk enough in a fight and somebody throws you on grass or into a fucking body of water, like, did not. Nothing's gonna happen. Your clothes are gonna get wet. You're gonna have to go to the dry cleaner. All right? If that dude was stone sober gold, let's fucking go. I'm telling he got thrown into the pot somehow. His head would have hit a fucking rock when he came out in that dude threw him. He would have tried to fight it and he would have like broke his fucking neck. His foot would have got spun around. Something would have happened. But he was prepared. This man was shit faced. So nothing happened. He took like 12 punches from up from a former NHL enforcer who was also making sound effects as he was punching him. He was going bang, bang, bang, all of them waiting for the knockout punch. This dude was like Tex Cobb just fucking eating all of them. He took like 12 punches from a retired NHL enforcer, was thrown in a fucking lake and then hurled like. I haven't seen another human being get thrown like that since back in the day on Wide World or Sports, they used to try to find the best bouncer in the United States. I swear to God this was true. In one of the events. It was like how you could kick somebody out of a bar. Like you throw them out of a bar. So they had stuntmen, midgets with like these, these fucking, I don't know, these belts on that they could just pick up and out you go. And they would throw these little people. This was on television. Big roided up men with mustaches throwing midgets. And it was on. It was part of a sports program. And that was back when you could buy a lazy boy that had a built in ashtray in the arm. And you were ready put nub. Oh, baby, you were ready put nub. Anyway, I had a epic, epic, epic dad weekend with the kids. Just making up for all that time I was doing the play. I'm going to give you an example of the kind of days I'm having with my kids, all right? And this like the dad day I had just on Saturday was like, I was dialed in like Wayne Gretzky. Was it 1982 when he scored 96 goals, when it didn't even seem like how to fucking somebody even do this shit. I did the dad version of wayne Gretzky in 1982. I'm talking shit. Somebody needs to throw me in a fucking pond. Arms never went out. Didn't even try to break his fall. Peaches. Woo. He enjoyed the goddamn ride. So don't ever forget that. You know, if somehow the gorilla ever breaks out of the zoo and just grabs you by the throat and throws you across the fucking parking lot, don't fight the gorilla. Just go with it, you know? Enjoy the ride. And when you land and slide on the pavement underneath that park bench, just stay there. Just stay there and let that fucking thing pick somebody else. So this is my day. I woke up, I made two Dutch babies. My kids, that's their favorite breakfast. So they're getting bigger now, so they. They want one each, right? So I made that. Then we drove around my neighborhood in my old truck. And they both took turns steering it. My daughter also used the turn signal. Then I got some gas, I went out to breakfast, get myself something, the to go thing. And I got them some cookies. Then we went back to the house, I met my mother in law, we went bowling, and there was an arcade there, and there was a bar there. I mean, this place, you could. If they ever did the big Lebowski again, like, this fucking place was amazing. And I'm not gonna lie to you, I got thirsty when I was there. I was like, this is the kind of place that old Billy Freckles would day drink in. Because the bar, they took the bar, the bar was all the way up, you know, it was a classic bowling alley layout. You walk in, you see all the lanes. It's amazing, like walking into a ballpark. When you come out from underneath and you walk up, you see all the fucking lanes, all right? And then you see like there was an arcade in the corner, and then there was a place to get food. And it was like that hockey rink food that's, you know, the square pieces of pizza, all that bullshit. But then tucked all the way around the corner was this bar. I couldn't believe Steve Buscemi and John Goodman, you know, weren't sitting there drinking with like Hawaiian shirts on. And I looked at that and I. And you know what was great too was it was like, it was a three sided bar, like up against the wall. And there was a way to walk all the way around to the backside and get that last chair on the backside and just sit there, just get fucking hammered and nobody even knows. You know what I mean? And I'll tell you right now, and I'm not Gonna tell you later. I'm gonna tell you right now. Somebody, if I was in there for fucking three hours, could pick me up like that dude in the golf course and throw me down one of those alleys, and you would get a fucking strike, and I would not get hurt at all. And I would just get up with the same look as that kid, and you could do it again. I would be that perfect level of fucking hammered that I should not be driving. But I cannot get hurt if you throw me. When we went bowling, and then we were driving down the street, and there was a random motorcycle store, so I brought the kids in there, and they were checking out the motorcycles, and they, you know, kids love motorcycles. And then we came back to the house, we had a late lunch, and then we went swimming, and my kids just fucking attacked me the entire time in the pool. Like, my son swims at me with his hand at his forehead, trying to look like a shark fin. And then he pops his head out of the water and he tries to bite me. And my daughter's always going under the water. She's grabbing my legs and shit. And I finally just said, can you guys just let me enjoy the pool? You know, how come you don't do this to your mother? You only do this to me. And my daughter goes, because you let us. And it's like, well, I'm not letting you now. And then she goes, yeah, but we know you're not serious. Which I was serious. But what she said was so funny. I laughed. And then it started back up for, like, another 20 minutes. Yeah, they're insane. I'm not a person to them. I'm a fucking bouncy house. Like, my daughter's like, dad, walk to, like, more towards the deep end, so you're underwater so I can stand on your shoulders and jump off of them. I don't know. I should be like, no, that's going to hurt. I'm old. But instead, I go, all right, does this mean you like me? And, yeah, that was it. That was one day. That was one day. And then this morning, we woke up, you know, we went out, went out to breakfast. I had the kids steering the truck again in the neighborhood. Got my son to do it. He was a little nervous about doing it. And then he started doing, like, buddy, buddy, buddy, back to the right, back to the right, back to the right. He would be, like, laughing, looking at his sister. I had to, like, fix it or whatever, but I don't know. I'm really, really having a great time with Them enjoying these last few days before they go back just to. To school, you know? And I keep running into parents, you know, and they just keep saying, you know, goes by fast. You know, it's like slow and fast, all same. That's all they say. It's like. They try to. It's like, dude, I'm sorry that you're sad. Your kids are grown up. How old are your kids? Oh, eight and five. Oh, that's such a magical age. Grow it, enjoy it, enjoy it. Because they grow up so fast and then fucking awful things. Awful things. It's like, all right, all right. Yes. Like, they always. Every fucking parent that has grown up, kids always says, it goes by fast. It goes by. It's like, I know it does. And someone said that to you, and there's nothing you can fucking do about it, so stop doing that. Because my kids are still 8 and 5. I want to fucking enjoy. Just stop putting your sadness onto me. You're not talking to me right now. You're talking to your younger self. All right? I'm in the pool. I'm letting them drive my truck down the street. All right? Stop giving me anxiety, you cunts. All right. Oh, I want you to shut the up. Anyway. Oh, Billy Elevation, about ready to take my drumming to a whole new fucking level. I don't know why I got all intense about that. I, for the longest time, have wanted to get a high hat, a fixed high hat on the right hand side of my kit so I could play along to all this double bass that I loved growing up. All right? And that's everything from Metallica, Slayer, Primus, Pantera, Van Halen, Motorhead, what else? Even Tommy Lee threw in some double pedal every once in a while. We had a double bass for a while, up until he had a double bass until 1989 when he went on the Dr. Feelgood tour. But right up through Girls, Girls, Girls, he had a double bass and he was a Pearl Guy. And then he switched over to dw. Yes, I do know all of this shit. So anyway, that's going to be my next move. To try to fill up the void. That is going to be my next move, Bill. Nobody's saying. Nobody's saying you can't do it, you know? All right, sorry, sorry. I just get, like, a little intent, you know? What it is, is I'm so excited that I have all of this time off, like, I ain't doing for the rest of the year except doing shit like that, like playing with my kids and. And. And buying a Fixed hi hat. That's it. And avoiding people that have grown up children so I don't have to listen to them tell me how fast it goes by. I am enjoying every second of it. I have spent, I have spent more fucking time with my kids in, in the last month than any kid from my generation got from their parents their entire upbringing. We were just fucking outside. Go outside. Just go outside. That's what it was. I'll tell you what's funny is I never heard anybody from my parents generation talking about, you know, it goes by quick. I guess you wouldn't say that to a kid though, right? They would just say they were just different. You know what it was, there was no fucking Internet, there was no social media. So like parents used to fucking hang out with each other, you know, and just get ripped. You know what is funny about alcohol is if you keep drinking at a certain level, past a certain age, you're just red as far as like a white person. You know, like last night I was at this event and you know, I'm telling you, that bowling alley with the bar kind of, you know, I wasn't gonna do anything, but that, that was like a fuck every once in a while because usually 99% of the time I'm like, I'm so psyched. I don't drink anymore. But every once in a while, oh, you know what I mean? It's like a retired baseball player smelling the fresh cut grass. Just like hearing the sound of a ball hitting a bat. They just, oh, man, I would love to go up there and just fucking take a couple of cuts. Yeah, well, I'm not an athlete. I was a functioning alcoholic. So I get that feeling when I look at a bar. Like, oh my God, oh my God, dude. Back in the day, me, Bartnik Verzi, in a bowling alley bar during the fucking day. That, that would be one of those hangs that we talked about 10 years later trying to remember what the we were laughing at. Oh my God. That's when I actually feel bad for oligarchs. Like, do they have that, do they get to have that moment? Do they ever just get to go get hammered in a bowling alley bar? Can they take the time to just and enjoy that? Or are they too busy thinking about, like looking at everybody bowling, thinking about how much money they're making off at each one of those people? You know, like oligarchs, like when they go to some orgy and they're all dressed up like different animals and stuff. Like, do you really get that Fucking high school cafeteria laugh in the middle of it, you know, when they're sacrificing a virgin is there. I don't know, it's. It's a different world. But you definitely, you know, you think about it. So anyway, last night I went to a. Went to this event electing people into the Television hall of Fame. And it was one of the most fascinating. The group of people that they inducted and they went through their whole careers. The stuff that these people did and then what people said about them before they brought them up and what the people said when they were up there, like, you know, those, those award shows go on a long time. This is the only award show I've ever been to where the whole thing was fascinating to me. Put it this way. It opened with Viola Davis. She opened and they had her whole career. And then she went up there and just winged a speech on how she overcame and I don't know what, just built herself up, up in her head to do all of this stuff. Then they brought this dude up, Ron or Rod something or other. He wrote all the fucking music to every goddamn song. Every show he had a partner and then continued on after his partner died. He did every fucking theme song from the Rockford Files, Greatest American Hero, A Team Magnum PI he did the Law and Order theme. They brought him up on stage, that's what they brought. Bum bum bum bum bum. And he went up on stage and they were showing everybody on TikTok that they're do like these dance routines to that, that whole craze. And he just went up shaking his head like, I don't know why these kids are doing this, but this is awesome. Hill Street Blues, L.A. law, all the fucking major hits. Then they had another guy who had passed away, but his thing was he did events, like big events like super bowl halftime. He was the king of like that stuff. Super Bowl, Half times shows, the 911 tribute, the Olympics. When Muhammad Ali came out with the tort like those, the Oscars, like giant events where it's basically live, you got one shot at it and the odds of you screwing it up and critics ripping you apart because everybody's watching it. So everyone is going to read about it. And it's a good way to get clicks and get attention and make money. So you got to have your own hot take. This guy lived in that pressure crushed all of those. Then the next one up was Henry Winkler and they showed all of his work from pre happy Days to like Post Barry. All this stuff that he did and he's just like, like I don't know if he did like a coaching tree of the nicest people ever. If you, if you like, I, to me it's, it's Henry Winkler, Adam Sandler, and then I got to think who's third? But like Henry Winkler is literally the nicest human being you're ever going to meet. And he went up and was absolutely hilarious and of course totally humble and of course, you know, very inspiring and all of that. And I don't know if there's a way to live a perfect life, like, because there's a lot of people that are like loved at home but get their ass kicked at work or people at work love them, but then their home life suffers. This guy just straight across the board crushes it professionally and personally. I mean, he was giving shout outs to his grandkids and like everybody was there, which was fucking amazing. And then to close it out, Conan o' Brien went up and then he, he fuck. Oh my God, he fucking murdered. He roasted everybody in a playful way that had been up there. He made fun of the venue that we were at. He made fun of himself and then of course had an overall positive outlook on the future. The future of television, the future of creativity and the future of people. How he always does lands. It's, you know, after being totally silly and ridiculous, out of nowhere he hits you with like some profound shit. It was an amazing night. And I'll tell you, I went there and after I, I got in and I sat down, you know, my wife was out of town, can't make it right, so I'm there by myself feeling like an asshole. I'm like, yeah, you know, I'll, I'll hang here for like an hour, then I'm just gonna, I'm gonna wait. Or they say clap somebody off, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna leave. And it was so entertaining. I stayed for the whole thing and that was my evening. I gotta get back on stage. I haven't done stand up in a minute and I got a bunch of new shit that I want to fuckin try out. Oh, and I had a nice fucking helicopter ride and I had a nice motorcycle ride. I had a great fucking week. Oh, Billy Downtime. Oh, Billy Downtime. Yeah, that's it. All right, I gotta, I gotta hit pause here and see if any of these materials have come in yet because I don't have any, any of my, the questions from you guys or the advertising yet.

Definitely go out and support her and see her in a small venue while you still can. August 25th at the top secret comedy club. All right. All right. And with that, and we're back with your Questions for the week. Black Sabbath. Hey, Billy Butt stuff. Hey Bill, a long time, a long time listener and fellow. He put a comment after he said, hey Bill, comma, a long time comma, hey Bill, a long time listener and fellow. Mass hole. He spelled mass hole. M A S, S, O, H L, E. This fucking guy. He was day drinking at a bowling alley. His fucking thumbs were drunk. A few weeks ago when Ozzy died, I heard you reference a song where he is pleading to God and how much it creeped you out. I apologize if somebody else let you in. But the song is Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the album. Off the Black Sabbath album. So they were the first ones to do that, huh? Because I remember there was a band called Big country that had a song named Big country off the album. Big country in a big country dream Stay with you to the lovers boy to the mountainside Stay on sides. That's what you sing in a hockey game. Also, I know you appreciate it, but it was the last song that WAAF played at midnight. Oh my God. WAAF kick ass rock rock and roll before they were bought out by a Christian rock station. Do you know I actually bought a WAAF kick ass rock and roll T shirt and I wore it to school. The amount of that I got. I came walking in and the first kid said, oh my God, I always hear those advertised on the radio. I never knew somebody who bought them. Do you remember that? Do you remember when you showed up to school wearing something that you weren't even questioning and as you got half a pony high top into your 1980s high school, somebody shits on it and you're just like, oh God, this is gonna be a long day. Why couldn't it be gym day? I would have had my gym stuff. I could change. Oh, and he yelled it too in the hot on the hallway, got a big laugh, and then that was it. I spent the rest of day with my arms crossed across, you know, my chest didn't help. Anyway, they were bought out by a Jesus station. The only thing scarier than Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the Black Sabbath album is a rock, a kick ass rock and roll station getting bought out by a Christian rock station. How much are you in the cult that you pick up a Gibson Les Paul and you're still singing about the. It's not what guitar is about sinning. I get it, you're into Jesus. Just apologize for this later. Let's. Let's do some Black Sabbath shit. Anyway, this person said I was in a college at Fitchburg State at the time and working at a liquor store and ran to my car to hear what song WAAF would play last. That's kind of cool that you knew. It was a big moment. I actually. You could go on YouTube and listen to the last like, I think shift of wbcn. I know this sounds like old guy stuff, but you have like no idea how personal like radio was. What station you listen to the bands that they played and the on air personalities, the DJs. And like, it was. This is before Clear Channel. It was just regional. So these people on the radio, they sat in the same traffic, ate the same food, rooted for the same sports teams. So they basically expressed, you know, like, Jesus Christ, is it gonna snow again this, this weekend? But Bob, they just, they just, they were going through the same thing. 86 when the Red Sox blew it. They were there for that. We got blown out by the Bears, all of that shit. They were just, they were too many men on the ice. They were there some construction project not working out. They were there and, you know, technology continued on and they all disappeared. This person goes on. Anywho, actually the Kinks were a really cool song about that. Around the dialogue about some kid, you know, putting on the radio and his favorite DJ isn't there anymore. And you're trying to figure out why, because there was no information back then. They just, they just weren't there. You're like, what the happened? Anywho, this person said, I'm a big fan and I've been doing comedy for a little over a year in the Boston and Worcester scene. I'm doing all right for myself, but I just want want to know what you think about young comics trying to come up and do it the right way. I'm looking. I think he means booking small shows. And I host an open night right next to the Wilbur and the Wang. Love your brother. The last special was fantastic. What do I think about comics coming up doing it the right way? I'll be honest with you, I don't know what the right way is. I know it worked for me. I think, you know, I don't want to fall into that thing that, you know, the way my generation did. It's the right way and that's the only way to do it. There was a lot of, you know, older comics that looked at my generation like, what are you guys doing? That's not comedy. That's not even jokes. So comedy is just like music where it, it keeps evolving, it keeps changing and, you know, but it is a weird Thing where you can kind of stay contemporary. You don't get like locked in to a decade like so many bands do by their fan base and by critics. Like they won't accept any new music from you or whatever. They just want you to play the hits. Comedy is the opposite where they, they want new, they don't want to hear the old stuff. But I don't know, I. But I think as much as it changed is probably, you know, the only way to get better at this shit is to get on stage, you know, anywhere you can. And I don't know, you just learn while you're on stage, I guess you mean by the right way is to not try to make it in two seconds by, you know, posting clip after clip after clip on Instagram. I don't think that that's a bad thing. I mean, I, I'm glad it wasn't around when I was coming up because I would be, ugh. Like some of your earlier, it's like, oh my God, I, I wouldn't want any of that stuff seeing the light of day. But I don't know, man, like I. My advice to you is what, what feels like the right way, do that. Just work your ass off, don't be an asshole and say what you want to say on stage. However you go about doing that, I think you'll be all right. Anyway. All right, plowing ahead here. What's the next one? What's the next one? So it is always nice to hear, hear from a comedian though, as an older fella. All right, Havoc. H Vac. I have no idea what this is about. H Vac. Hey there, Billy Ball, Sweat Union. Havoc H Vac Service Tech here. Heard you bitching up a storm about the idiots not putting a return in your drum room. Hope they aren't bending you over on the bill. You got to watch these non union guys, dude. Let me tell you something, you got to watch all the guys. Anytime you get anything, you're like, listen, don't touch anything until you have everything to replace it. Order everything, have it ready to go, then rip it out and put it in. And what do they always say? Oh yeah, no problem, no problem. What do they do? They rip it out and immediately there's fucking delays. And, and they always have like 10 fucking jobs going. And once they fucking gut your place. Dude, come on, don't, don't even act like it's just non union guys anyway. Most are fine, but for example, my wife's grandma's AC went down last week and they told her, she needed a whole new system because the refrigerant. Refrigerant is out of production. It's hard to get, but the shit isn't out of production. They just lied to an old lady to get an Easy Cash. Grab 11 grand for a new unit. I repaired the leak for $40 of materials and $400 of refrigerant later and she's good to go. Wow, 440 bucks. You know, let's be honest, if you did that for somebody, you'd probably charge them, What, a grand? 800? A grand. But still, that's 10 grand less. You didn't charge her for labor. Anyway, scabs are out here doing half ass work and charging out the ass. So my suggestion is try and find a union shop near you. They cost a little more an hour, but they have the training and know how to do it right the first time. Well, there you go. All right. I've come back around on unions because you, because you said so. I don't get people who are out there doing work. I don't get that at all. Like, I had jobs I didn't like, but I always did a good job. You know, I remember being a busboy in a restaurant and I had to like mop down the whole. They had an oyster bar, black and white tiles, and I had to do the men and the women's room and oh my God, some nights, like, I don't even know what the fuck happened in there. And I hated every second of it. But the fucking place was gleaming by the time I was done with it. And the piece of shits that I work with, me, I remember they used to look at me like, dude, what the is with this kid? He actually, like, there's so many people out there that are just so into people over that they don't even understand just doing the right thing. Like you, you're paying me to do this job. I'm gonna do the fucking job and I'm gonna do it right. Like scumbags, they almost look at you. Like when a dog can't figure something out and they cock their head, they don't even get it. It's like, why would you put all that effort in there? What are you getting out of that? You're already making that money an hour. Why don't you dog it and then figure out how to take somebody else? Like the people who approach shit that way. I don't get that. Like, how you could, like go in there and see an old person, you know, they're not working anymore. You know that money is important to them. And you go in and you take 10 times what you need to take from them. So you can do what? Do what? Go out and get yourself a car with T tops, you cunt. Anyway, Instagram showing users location. Hey there, Billy, my old chum. Instagram made an update to their app that turns on your location data by default, now revealing your geographic location if you use the app. Unless you go into settings and turn it off. This has caused influencers online to be posting content without them knowing their home address is being revealed to the world, causing randos to take pictures of their houses and sending it to the influencers. People are out of their minds. First of all, I don't understand why an app can do something like that. You know, think about all the women out there that have stalkers. I believe mine shut off. I'm going into it now. I don't handle this stuff. My, my web guy does. Yeah, this is all off. Never. There you go. Yeah, yeah, I don't have any of that on. I don't have any at all. But like, where does Instagram get off doing that to people? Like what? Why? Why would they do that to people? This person said, you personally use Instagram, you should change the settings before people start standing in front of your place. I appreciate this, by the way. That being said, this is just another example of how these tech companies share your personal data with no consideration of the negative impacts this could cause on the users. Yeah, they don't give a fuck and they have enough money to buy all the politicians. That's it. So what it would take would be for all of us regular people to somehow get on the same page. But all they would have to do is send bots at us blaming Joe Biden or Donald Trump and then we would just start arguing and that would be the end of it and nothing would get done. That being said, this is just another example of how these tech companies share your personal data with no consideration of the negative impacts. Blah, blah, blah. They don't even bother making announcements of these updates since the app updates in the background. Stay safe. Don't go fuck yourself. Have some frozen yogurt instead. Oh, what a good shit. Thank you for giving me the heads up. Yeah, it's just. Listen, we all know what we're headed towards. If I see one more commercial on TV or something on the news where some regular person is just going on and on about how amazing AI is, this reminds me when I lived in New York and there was a There was a player on one of the baseball teams. Once a year he would do a, let me do a piece with the local news thing about how much he worked out and how hard he worked out and all that. And guess what? He got busted for doing steroids. This is the same thing with this AI shit. Oh my God, this is amazing. I use this AI and it was fucking incredible. Blah, blah, AI is here to replace you. First thing it's going to do is take your job and then it's going to become a robot and then it's going to take your life and that's what's going to happen. And all we're going to be doing while this happens is screaming about Trump and Joe Biden. That's all that people are gonna do. Cuz they're fucking mouth breathing morons. They're fucking morons. The fucking people that think that let's get the illegal immigrants out. And then, then I can afford out. That's not gonna happen. Like, like illegal immigrants are buying up all the houses. Like illegal immigrants are driving up the price of fucking out. It's unreal. Literally the guys that are fucking you over going, no, no, no, it's them over there, it's them. Oh, it is. And then you run down the street. It's unreal. Unfucking believable. Literally the person that has his dick in your ass is going, it's him over there. He's the one fucking you. Oh, all right. Thank you. Piece of shit who doesn't pay his employees and doesn't pay his taxes. I'll listen to you. All right. Forced to give email for a receipt. Bill, I'll keep this short and brief. I bought a shirt at H and M. When I went to buy the shirt, I asked for a receipt and they asked for my email. I said, no, thank you, thanks, please give me a paper receipt. The lady informed me that the receipts are only digital now and they would need my email. I said, that's bullshit. I don't have an email now. What? She's. She then said, do you have friends email? I said, no, I don't. We went back and forth for about one minute and I didn't want to make the other people wait in line, so I just didn't take a receipt. I think it's absolute bullshit. They're actually forcing us to give emails for receipts. It's only a $13 shirt, so fuck it, I guess. But it had me so infuriated. It should just print some fucking paper. You should look this up. H&M can suck my dick. Fuck them. Exactly. Fuck H and M. Part of me wishes I stayed and fought longer and forced them to address the issue with the manager. But I just said it and left with my shirt. Didn't give them my email. When I mentioned I don't want them to have my email, they said, it's only for receipts and I laughed in their face. Exactly. We don't share it. It's like, no, you don't share it. They must think I'm retarded. Retarded. I don't know how to properly express my rage or why this infuriates me so much, but it does. So I'll stop before I just ramble on saying, fuck this and fuck that. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks. And go fuck yourself. Well, I think a lot of people like yourself, the reason why you have rage issues is because you would never do some shit like that. Or maybe you grew up in a really controlling environment and the fact that you didn't feel like you had an option made you flip out. Or I'm superimposing my issues onto you. That's what I got for you. Yeah, fuck all of these people. And there needs to be some sort of pushback. I always give a fake email. I always give a fake phone number. Yeah, there was. Do we have a phone number in our system? And I always go, no. No, you don't. Do you want. No, I don't want to. Do you want to be a member of our group? No, I don't. I don't. And always when I'm standing in line behind, can I get a phone number? And they're like, 617212. It's just like, what the fuck are you doing? They just. They just. You know. You know what those people are? They're guard tower, guard tower people. You know that moron in front of you in the line when you're being exterminated by the robots? He's going to be up in the guard tower thinking he's in with the robots. And then when they're done killing all of us, then they'll go up and be like, all right, buddy, it's your turn. And he's going to be like, but wait, I gave you my phone number. In you go. That's how that works. Same thing with these illegal immigrants. They start with brown people. They don't look like you. You're not concerned. And then they run out of those people, and they still have to make money. They still have to put people in Those little, those little prisons that they have. So then guess what? Then it's your turn. That's how that works. That's how that works. I don't know at least my limited knowledge of history and control over people and what the they do, but this is getting too deep. This is not why you guys turn. Tune into this podcast. All right, Red Sox got a Monday, Tuesday, a two game series against the Baltimore Orioles. The last place, Baltimore Orioles. I don't know what happened. They had like two or three seasons there where they were turning it around. I love the Orioles. Eddie Murray, Rick Dempsey, Doug Desensay, that crazy hillbilly that passed away, that was on the dugout spelling out the name. They used to play in that old War Memorial Stadium with the Baltimore Colts. Fucking amazing. Jim Palmer, Frank Tanana. The fuck else was on that team. Earl Weaver, those great orange shirts. Oh, my God. Nothing can fuck with baseball uniforms. 1979, some of the highlights. Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates, Baltimore Orioles. Who else had a great uniforms? A lot of them sucked in the 80s. Like the White Sox always had a boring uniform. And then that one they had, like when Lamar Hoyt, which just said socks, when Carlton Fisk was there. I never liked that uniform. I always thought that was weird. Okay, let's go. Let's go back. Come on, Bill, you can do better than that. Houston Astros. Oh, the fucking Milwaukee Brewers. The Seattle Mariners, they had great uniforms. The Twins. Oh, the fucking St. Louis Cardinals. That blue jersey. Kansas City Royals. That nice clean uniform. All right, that's all I got. You know, I was looking up some the other night, I was watching the Dodgers and the pod race because all of a sudden the Padres were up one game and then the Dodgers took them two games in a row. Now they're up a game. And it was talking about the Dodgers uniform and it said that it was blue and white and red. And I was like, what the is red on the dot? And he's. For the life of me, I couldn't think of it. And I put on the Dodgers game. I'm like, oh, the number is red. How have I never noticed that? I mean, I. I see it all the time. I just never noticed it. You know, Bill, you could have ended the fucking podcast instead of just. You know what else I never noticed? All right, that's the podcast. Go fuck yourselves. Give out fake emails, fake phone numbers, just, you know, you can't fight this shit, but you can have fun with it. Just take surveys, give all bogus information. Like, I think that that's the only way to combat this is we just all give bogus information. And there'll be so much misinformation out there about all of us that, you know the value of tracking. Nah, that's still not going to have this. They're going to. They'll track us even more anyway. And it's all God's fault because he makes selfish people. He makes fucking sociopaths and he makes narcissists. And, you know, there's like bacteria in your gut your whole life. There's the bacteria in your gut that's going to activate when you die, so you can decompose. It's just sitting there, waiting for that to happen. I think that the human version of that is narcissists and sociopaths and. And if you believe in God, he put them in the human race to end the human race eventually. Because God gets bored with shit and then he moves on to something else. He had a good time with the dinosaurs, done with that, moves on to human beings. He's about done with us. And then they'll be the fucking next thing. That's how it works, you know. Remember there was Friendster, then there was MySpace, then Instagram, and it just kept going. Same thing with creation. It's just a theory. All right, that's it. Go fuck yourselves. I'll talk to you on Thursday.
