Good looking man.
Good looking guy.
And then the other one, man, I got to tell you, there was, um, there's one guy, dude,
I don't want to mention it.
He, he, I remember looking, I was like, I don't even know if I should, he went ended up he was like a became a he was a d-back for the vikings and became a serial rapist and then he was like an analyst i think his name was darren
sharp i was i remember looking at that guy going like that guy could be uh and then you know and
could have been a model he admitted it did they give him under some weird nickname no no no he
admitted the pretty rapist?
He did one of those where he's like, yeah, got out of hand.
I feel bad for my family.
The gorgeous groper?
Back in the day, they would have.
Dude, back in the day, if you did something fucked up,
they just said what it was.
We had a serial killer in Boston, Massachusetts
that was strangling women and he was
called the boston strangler there's no question yeah that's like a nickname for a basketball
player the hillside strangler the boston strangler no no uh andrew tony before the three-point line
his low-cut dr j's would come up and just think destroy us you think the killer or rapist is at home and they're listening to the news
and they hear the nickname, they're like, oh, fuck, I wanted a better one.
I think Boston Strangler they probably liked.
I like that.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what's fucked up is the NBA is fantastic.
You know, the 1980s, they literally gave Andrew Toney the nickname
the Boston Strangler named after a serial killer in Boston because he was killing the Celtics.
And that flew.
That was not a problem.
Wow.
Wasn't a problem.
Now you can't even be called the Devil Rays because people think that sounds too sinister.
They got to be called the Rays, those first place sons of bitches.
Paul, what is happening to my Red Sox?
I'll tell you what's happening.
They're falling off the road.
I'll tell you right now, my New York Yankees are up
5-0 going for their ninth in a row
and if Tampa loses, we're only back three
in the playoffs if it starts today. You guys
own the Twins. Yeah, we do
own the Twins. You go into Minneapolis, you have
yourself a Juicy Lucy and you
fucking crank a few over the wall and that's it.
It's over. Yeah. You know what happened
to us? We overachieved and then came the
trade deadline and then they didn't do shit.
That was like mom and dad saying, we don't believe in you.
Chris Sayles back though.
He's been pitching like five and a half, five innings, I think.
Five and a half innings.
Five innings he's been pitching.
Derek Jeter, another good looking guy.
But as he gets-
Borderline.
Borderline.
He's one of those-
He was like, you know, he looked good with a hat on.
Yeah.
You know what?
He took the hat off.
The head just kind of kept going out.
Big brain.
Big brain on that guy.
I mean, come on, man.
Standing next to A-Rod.
Yeah.
A-Rod.
Come on.
A-Rod's a good one.
A-Rod's a good looking guy.
Guys can't.
We can't respect a guy that looks like that.
A-Rod was almost as good looking as J-Lo.
I think that's why they broke up.
She had to put all that makeup on and then she looked at him in the Jack and Jill mirror
and he's fucking looking fine.
She's like, are you using my frosted tips, fucking kid?
I love A-Rod, man.
I love listening to him talk baseball and he fucking crushes it in the real estate market.
Kept all his fucking money.
Smart guy.
How do you not love that guy?
No, here's the thing.
A-Rod has that Pete Carroll gene.
A-Rod and Pete Carroll.
Don't you.
No, he does.
Pete Carroll's sneaking behind somebody's fence in the suburb.
Don't you put that on A-Rod.
A-Rod's going to smile at you, shake your hand,
and then do it,
I think, a little bit.
No, he isn't.
I think so.
He is not.
He's going to fucking walk down the street shirtless
during the Puerto Rican pride parade.
You can be like,
God damn it,
I wish I was in that shape
with those stunning eyes.
I smell a rat, Bill.
I know.
I smell a rat.
Pete Carroll's dipping into the dish at church.
He is Flanders.. He is Flanders.
That guy is Flanders.
Dude, Pete Carroll would come to your house if you were new,
shake your hand, welcome to the neighborhood,
give you a cake, and then stare at your wife's ass as she walked away.
Absolutely.
You know what?
And you would totally be expecting it.
He's not even good at it.
Be like, walk slower, honey.
Pete Carroll is exactly
who we thought he was.
And we let him off the hook.
Let him off the hook.
Oh, that's fucking great.
Yeah, that's great.
A-Rod was a little between his ears
at some point,
but now that he's, you know,
he's outside of baseball.
Dude, him on the MLB network
during the
fucking playoffs there's nobody better him and pete rose he listen oh a rod is a rod is great
talking baseball because his passion and love for it has never wavered ever he has that plus the kid
was a phenom at 18 years old he knows baseball but i'm telling you he would fuck your wife and he would fuck your wife
and then go out and then double date with you and smile at you as he cheers the fucking martini i'm
telling you i'm telling you this this you're just going so hard because you lost in 04 and you
blamed him no no no you guys all blamed him he helped us in 09 win he He had an MVP year, whatever. Come on, Bill.
You can't frost your tips.
No, I don't get.
It's just coming from frosted tips, Paul.
You're Italian.
Half your friends did that.
No, what I'm saying is I think there's a reason.
Look at you with all your jewelry hanging off of you and stuff.
I don't judge you with your fucking gold watch and shit.
You look like you're about ready to sell me a lemon.
What do you think about that?
Listen, I get that.
But, you know, I would tell you the car is good.
I wouldn't do that to you.
I'm the guy that you would think.
Is there anything better than not arguing an insult?
You just agree with it.
It goes away, man.
There's nothing better than that.
You ugly orange son of a bitch.
I know.
God damn, I'm unsightly. It's over. Now the you ugly orange son of a bitch i know god damn i'm
unsightly now the guy wants to buy you a beer no i would i would tell you it's a lemon i go listen
you don't want this one trust me you don't want this one i want it depends on when i caught you
if i caught early 20s paul hanging onto his hairline early 20s paul hanging onto his hairline
fucking dealing with this fucking childhood,
childhood divorce. I think you'd sell me that car somewhere around 27, 28. You became a person
and your thirties, you became a saint. I was there, Paul. I'm writing a novel right now.
You actually were there. I think I met you around like, I met you, I think a week after I was like 26 or something. Yeah. I became, when I met you, your headshot still had you in a leather jacket.
So we saw a little, a little left of, uh, the bad boy, Paul Verzi. Hey, I got that jacket.
Hey, I may have to dust it off. Um, no, I think there's a reason why New Yorkers never took to A-Rod.
I think if you look at his press conferences after the game,
I think when he – here's the thing, okay?
It's because you were spoiled brats.
You wanted to win it every year, and you brought him in.
You thought that's what was going to happen.
When it didn't happen, you guys all started whining.
You're Laker fans on the East Coast.
Fuck the both of you.
When A-Rod had two strikes in a big moment,
I knew it was done.
I knew it.
Knew it.
Knew it.
Didn't think it.
He had two strikes.
He was in it.
He wanted it so much.
He wanted to be the guy.
It's because you assholes wouldn't let him have a good time.
Dude, Randy Johnson was the coolest fucking guy ever.
He played like fucking one week with the Yankees.
He's trying to punch a fucking cameraman on Fifth Avenue.
You know what it is?
You know what you New Yorker sports fans?
You're like a nagging wife.
You just fucking won't leave him alone.
You see what he did last night?
Well, he had a good game the day before.
I don't care what happened last night.
Listen, I got you.
You're shoving a bacon, egg, and cheese down your fucking throat, acting like you achieved something.
shoving a bacon egg and cheese down your fucking throat acting like you achieved something i mean i don't know if they need to live up to your standards of sitting there watching other people
achieve first of all what is it bacon egg and cheese orange cunt like me after another come
down to your city eat your pizza fuck your women and crushing your nightclubs and you stand back
there and you do nothing i'm fucking with you yeah he used to he
used to get he used to get in his head and you know when you join a team that's one fucking 26
championships they expect to win another one he he got in his head and i think he did it because
he did want to do so good so i don't knock that and you know me i'm not a new i mean i i was
disgusted with these fans when they booed Mariano.
Derek Jeter was in an 0 for 33 slide.
They booed him.
They never gave Patrick Ewing the saint.
Saint Patrick.
They never gave that kid what he fucking deserved. Because they're fucking half the city.
Half of New Yorkers.
More.
More.
Do that thing.
More than half.
I think New York fans.
More than half.
I don't know.
More than half.
I don't know about that. There's a lot of think New York fans. More than half. I don't know. More than half. I don't know about that.
There's a lot of smart New York fans.
Dude, you're going to tell me half are smart?
Dude, Lenny Marcus.
You're going to tell me half the fucking city is as smart as Lenny Marcus as a sports fan?
All right.
Maybe 70-30.
You're right.
70-30 would be unbelievable.
Dude, I'll tell you. Just haven having been back in Boston for a fucking week.
All right, dude?
Like, if we were 70-30.
I mean, we have some of the best sports fans out there,
but there's a bunch.
Always going to be a bunch of bandwagon.
Just showing up, going down to MVP Sports,
and getting the jersey of whoever's fucking winning, you know?
No, bandwagon.
I'm not even talking about, I'm talking about the guy sitting behind me on Monday night
football, watching Eli going, I'm still not sold on this Eli guy.
And it's like, what do you want him to do?
Tell me what you want him to do.
Because if we do this podcast until 2030, you're still going to be bringing up the lack
of respect
eli and patrick ewing got in new york city it's something that will torch i will say i will talk
about that those are my listen i know you have your sports things i know we sound like crazy
old men i know that because you're going to be saying the things you've been saying forever
mine would be uh drew bledsoe the two things that i'll never let so went to a fucking
super bowl right before the game started bill parcells evidently told the team he wasn't coming
back and he just put his house on the market oof that's a tough one dude i mean that's
what do you do with that no it's a tough one exactly i mean do you ever see his 30 for 30 he goes what do you think
it happens if you don't get hurt he goes i win all those super bowls yeah i mean that's what you
want to hear from so that doesn't sound like a guy who's afraid of the fucking moment to me so
you know it is what it is that guy fucking you know when people talk about the patriots being
where they're at he is a huge part of that story. Robert Kraft buying the team,
threatening to leave
so he gets a new fucking stadium.
Actually, I think he ended up paying for it.
Right?
I'll tell you right now,
we're getting a new stadium
and Mexico's paying for it.
That's Donald Trump.
And then Bledsoe, Curtis Martin,
all of those guys, Terry Glenn,
all of those guys that we had that came along during that time.
And I believe, you know, I believe there is just as big a part once we went to the flying Elvis emblem.
Well, you know what these dumb fucks here didn't understand is Eli could have had another run.
I remember you said that one time you You go, Eli could get three.
And I thought about that.
And I was like, no, he's actually right.
And then we fucking for five years neglected his offensive line.
You got rid of Tom Coughlin is what you did.
And the guy was also running for his fucking life.
You got rid of Tom Coughlin.
Stupid move.
Tom Coughlin made the Jaguars a winner.
He made BC Eagles a winner.
The guy, hears a winner He made BC Eagles a winner He's a winner
You got rid of a winner

like how fucking long before you can go outside with the right look on your face
and be prepared to run into your neighborhood your neighbor when you killed that cat that's
that sebastian bit where his dad would like poison bologna and throw it over the yard he would he
would put bologna in like clorox his father like old italians are hilarious they would
they would put meats in like clorox or bleach and just throw them around
and then sebastian said it was just a fucking lot of dead animals
now with these neighbors pets are just the rodents around the fucking
i don't i think i think there was like i don't know if it was a raccoon or

seen a couple of dogs rip apart a raccoon i've seen that happen this is this is the part of the
internet where i live paul let's get out of the sports here so we can actually get some fucking
women listening to this podcast at some point in this century uh i just wrapped up a
vacation there paul so did i right on the water paul yeah i went versi dude and i actually got
into the ocean dude i gotta tell you something there was a sandbar that went out about an eighth
of a mile and i was like you know when high tide comes in i'm gonna walk and i watch this old guy
walk all the way out on it and then get one of those old man dives,
you know,
where it's almost a belly flop,
but he didn't get enough air.
They just kind of jump on.
They just kind of go.
Yeah.
Did one of those.
And he was swimming around and shit.
I'm like,
look at this fucking guy.
This guy's like a retired fucking mailman.
And he's out there swimming around,
you know,
like fucking one of those age stakes and nothing's biting him. Right. So he goes in, swimming around, you know, like fucking one of those aged steaks and nothing's biting him.
Right. So he goes in. I go, fuck this. I'm walking out on this little sandbar, dude.
I got to tell you, man, I went about 30 yards out and I started turning around.
I had like a fucking panic attack. I felt like I was chasing movie.
I don't know how you guys do it. So I sort of go along the shore.
But I would I would do a kayak as long as it has like a rudder and i got i got some you
know a decent thing i can fucking smack the shark in the head with but uh anything better paul no
anything better wait wait then uh a nice rainstorm when you have a view of the ocean watching that
thing come in oh very few things less, very few things
more peaceful than that. When you're sitting there and you're just watching the rain hit the ocean.

running in my son's boogie board. And we just had, we had the best time, man. We had the best time.
I'm an ocean guy. The older I get to, I'm an ocean.

We drove down there for shows.

two a day a day.
I'm going to start calling you,

You have no fucking coasting mode to you.

I got two gears, low and high.
Me, I'll sit in a sedan and I'll just cruise.
Just start waving.
What's up, man?
I will tell you this, Paul.
Three days on a fucking beach.
Oh, dude.
I was just driving around.
Just driving around a lot of the North shore.
Dude,
the places that I hit,
man,
the places that I fucking hit back in the day,
I ate like a fucking,
I ate like a 17 year old kink.
I ate like I was still in high school,
dude,
steak and cheese,
Chinese food,
fucking roast beef sandwiches,
clam shacks.
You fucking name it.
I went to my favorite pizza place. I went to ice cream place, the place where I was staying, which was the shit. So I'm not going
to say where I was staying because I swear to God, dude, I was ready to buy the fucking house
and sell my one out here. Dude, I want to buy a beach home now, dude. I want to just buy a beach
home. Dude, I was watching these. We had that giant, giant waves yesterday. So I'm just sitting
on this. We got the the chair i'm sitting there
i got a fucking a spiked i'm drinking some spiked iced tea shit was delicious it was a
the end of it had a whiskey finish so it was like fucking dude and i'm just drinking this iced tea
that had some whiskey in it dude and i'm watching these giant waves because the weather was getting
bad and i'm watching surfers and i'm just going oh he's got it he's got it he's got it he's got
it he's got and then this one guy ran out. I go, dude, I saw you catch
that one. He goes, yeah, man, it's fun. I'm just watching it do it. And I'm like, I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta, this has got to be it for me. And, uh, I'm telling you,
Booze and an Arnold Palmer.
They got to be cheap shit. There was a Johnny red. What would you put in there? You wouldn't
want to, you know, if it actually tastes good, you don't want to have all that crap.
I don't know what the company was, but it was a spiked tea that had a
whiskey finish and there was a little whiskey or bourbon in there dude and it fucking it was like
seven or eight percent out halfway through the first one i just smiled at everybody i'll just
fucking smile at everybody in a fisherman hat i was just fucking hey how you doing i started i
started like trying to talk fucking beach lingo and shit. I was like, dude, are you catching tubes out there?
I was just.
Catching tubes.
I was ready to fucking go buy a surfboard, dude.
I'm fuck.
I was like, I'm going to get a fucking surfboard, see if I could get up.
But I'll end up breaking my fucking neck.
But no, I think you could.
You're an athlete.
You could get up.
I think that the beach life, like when I see those guys, I was talking to the lifeguard there.
And I go, this is great. He goes, yeah, dude, he's great. He goes, listen was talking to the lifeguard there and I go, this is great.
He goes, yeah, dude, he's great. He goes, listen, he goes, sometimes he goes, I go, dude, you got a great gig.
You're sitting here, you're tan. He goes, no, dude, he goes, it's fantastic.
He had dumbbells and he's just looking at everybody. He's just doing this shit. Right.
And then he goes, he goes, no, he goes a bad day, goes south real quick, though.
You know, some kids sitting there like can't catch air, can't get their air or like if a wave knocks somebody out and shit but he was just like you could tell he just like lives that life bad weather
comes they have like they tag team their friend who then sits on the thing and then he grabs a
surfboard and he goes out because when the bad weather come that's when the waves get six seven
feet oh and uh yeah and like they're just it was just like so cool. And then just restaurants are packed with families.
You could eat outside.
You're outside.
You could bring food on your deck.
And all the houses have rooftops or decks that kind of see the ocean.
So you and your family are just sitting outside.
Like you said, if you've got a patio where it rains and you don't get wet
and you see the water, that's like, that's a whole other thing.
Smoking a stick.
Oh, shit, dude. We got to do it next year i think there needs to be a burr versi family vacation oh dude 100 100 dude
at a fucking unbelievable ocean town ocean house on the fucking water oh god yeah i just got to
make sure the wives because i we're going to be having so much fucking fun.
They're going to be like the wives in Goodfellas as you're like dumping water on me.
We're like, hey.
It's like, guys, are we going to go someplace?
Are we just going to sit around the fucking house?
Is Paul drunk on the beach again?
Huh?
I said, is Paul drunk on the beach again?
I'll do it.
I'll just sit on it.
And here's the thing. I could sit on the beach in the fisherman hat or like in the shade. Like when, when I don't
want to get any more sun, just, and just sit there and just drink, let the breeze show up with that.
Like a sandwich board. I walk on with my own house and all of that shit,
fucking zinc oxide on my nose. I just want to hear the ocean and see it a little bit. That's it.
zinc oxide on my nose. I just want to hear the ocean and see it a little bit. That's it.
Anything better, anything better than listening to the ocean, just hearing it when you're right there, dude. Oh, Paul, I would come home after at night, right? Come home at night and I would
fucking, I would sit, there was a porch below and the one up top off the main bedroom. And I would
just sit out there and high tide would
come in right as I was coming home for a few nights. And I would just sit up there just
listening to it. My wife would come out. What are you doing? I'm just listening to the waves and
she'd be hanging out there. Next thing you know, we're having like a great conversation. It's the
best time, man. Dude, it's the best smelling the salt water when you're sitting there with a drink
and you're just talking. Oh, and it's so funny.
Why do we have to work?
What?
I know.
Why do people have to work?
All we need is food.
Why can't we just be like that?
Because some cunt wants a bigger fucking house?
I don't know.
We're literally, there's people every day just driving to work past the fucking ocean
and don't have the time or money to ever sit there and fucking enjoy it because they're sitting there working for somebody else.
I don't get like, like I remember reading the thing, you know, you died way sooner, obviously.
Back in the day, but in caveman days, they said there was a lot of leisure time after you made a big kill.
Yeah.
Just fucking laying around. around dude i'm telling you
if i make a certain amount of money you're never gonna you'll see me again you you and my friends
that's it dude that's it i'm gonna put out a certain amount of hours of comedy that i have
to talk after taxes what's your number you walk after taxes at walking yeah what's the bye-bye Pauly number
we did this before I would say between like I'm talking clearing it clear once I get to another
I was all yours Paul no one can touch it all right so uh so what I'm I would say another
I don't know Paul Pauly needs walking around money.
Yeah, I would.
Yeah.
He likes to flash free and clear 15 to 20 million after my career. And I'm done.
I'm walking.
Like if I was done, I'm not going to see you in 10 years.
You're going to get that.
If I'm dude, then you know what?
Hey, come to the beach house.
Okay, dude, I'm going to be playing.
I'm going to be playing golf and sitting at the beach,
but now the beach is starting to take over golf.
I didn't even want to go golfing.
I'm like, fuck that.
I'm going to look at the ocean.
I want to look at the ocean.
Golf is such a crapshoot.
It is.
I look at golf courses.
There's 50% cool guys, 50% assholes.
Am I right?
Yeah.
And then most of you are going to have a bad
day. So someone who's already an asshole is not shooting well. Then you got to fucking deal with
that. And then someone who was a cool guy is pissed by the fourth fucking hole. Yeah. It's
just, I don't know. I know I'm missing something with the same way I was missing something with
soccer, which I actually like, but like, but guys like me and you who don't care about our score
and we would just be happy smoking sticks out there,
laughing in a golf cart and just having a good time.
That's how I play golf.
I don't understand the seriousness.
You were good.
You didn't take it seriously, but I watched you.
I still remember that shot you had on that eighth hole
where you were like 15 yards out and you popped it up perfectly on the green.
I was like, oh, if this guy gave a fuck, he could you know you're just one of those you just don't care you know
no i don't i i don't respect the sport because they oh i look i respect it at a professional
level right the the amount of fucking cheating that is involved in it and then the amount of fucking cheating that is involved in it. And then the amount of like how much they adjust the equipment.
Like they literally,
you like go down there where Chrysler was telling me you go down there.
And if you have a slice,
you don't have to fix your slice.
They fucking give you a club that if you're swinging,
like a slice is going to make it a little bit straighter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They always put more little fucking dimples
in the golf ball.
Whatever they can do.
Whatever they can do, Paul.
You said it was like a jet ski at the end of a stick,
which is so fucking funny.
It's perfect. It's actually perfect.
I don't even remember.
How much bigger can the club head get?
That's my thing about it.
All the dumb fashion and all of that shit so it's just a really like it's a it's a really silly activity that a lot of really non-athletic people can get away with i gotta tell you something
hilarious you're gonna love this you guys are gonna fucking love this so a family that we know
was down the shore but where we were right And we went mini golfing with them.
And I'm real cool with the dad.
The son is Lucas's best friend and real competitive.
And this guy is like ridiculous at golf.
He's a police officer, but he's a scratch golfer.
There's nothing better than a scratch golfer, though.
I love a scratch golfer.
Dude, this guy, I just start laughing when he drives the ball.
He fucking drills at 300 pin straight every time.
I go, dude, you could have went pro, dude.
He's shot a 68 with me.
And he was putting for Eagle three times.
He goes, no, no, I'm not good enough putter, right?
So anyway, dude, we're playing.
So he's like, yo, we're playing mini golf.
And him and his son have that like, his son wants to beat him.
They have that little shit talking.
So me, Lucas, Billy, Billy's his name, and James, his son wants to beat him. They have that little shit talking. So me, Lucas, Billy, Billy's his name.
And James, his son, we start playing and Billy gets up there.
This guy's in great shape.
Like it like early fifties, great shape.
Just the nicest fucking guy you ever meet in your life.
The nicest guy.
Like he's one of those.
Hey, how you doing?
Yeah.
Like you agree.
Just so if you had an issue with this guy, it's you.
Right. This guy makes me look like a dick right easy going as far as you know what i mean so uh
i realized that that sounded arrogant i meant as far as easy going oh you're easy going so we go
up there and you know when you're mini golfing there are other families like near you because
like you're on one hole here there's people over there so he hits it and it starts going towards the cup
and he gets a hole in one and he goes and this is this is billy this is the dad he like pointed to
the cup he goes all right all in one let's go and he turns and there's like this five-year-old
little boy just looking at him he goes let's go and he goes to give five and the kid was so freaked
out the kid was so freaked out and scared i swear to god it was
one of the funny because he just like it was like it was like this it was like oh yeah let's go
there it is and the kid just like totally froze and like slowly dude i was crying laughing and
then even his son he goes dad you freaked that kid out that kid was freaked out he goes ah he
was fine dude you should have saw it.
Imagine you're a four or five-year-old kid and you're just sitting there
and spontaneously some 55-year-old guy, tan, just, yeah, let's go.
That would have freaked me out.
Oh, that's another thing, Paul.
I don't like about golf is everybody blames the equipment.
I just got, you know, my last club sucked.
They just got fitted with some new clubs.
Hey, Paul, that football sucks.
I got fitted with the new football.
It's got some extra laces next to grip on the end.
So my index and my middle finger can grip it better.
That's my problem with it.
I know it's a great sport.
Plus, I know people love it.
So I shit on it a lot.
I don't know shit about it.
I'll just shut up.
I'll just shut up.
Why don't I shut up?
Shut up.
Listen, I've had a ton of fun golfing but i gotta tell you the older i get
looking at the waves listening to the waves being at a beach town getting a little color going to sleep early how anything better haven't you heard enough chatter in your life paul
yeah because there's another thing too when you golf
dude it's like a fucking blind date it's you and your buddy hey we'll go we'll make with these
other guys like well i hope they're not assholes i know because now i gotta deal with this for the
next fucking three hours hey i'm steve i'm pete hey steve hey pete hey steve what are you into
well uh you know i uh you know all the copper fittings you see on the light post day? That's what I do. It's a family-run business.
Oh, yeah, it's great.
Yeah.
Nice shot, Steve.
Nice shot, Steve.
Anything better than being in bed at 10 o'clock?
Did Steve write down five?
Did he write down five in that last hole?
He had a six, right?
He had a fucking six.
No, I'd be like, you got to do that.
This guy fucking kicked it out of the woods, dude.
That's a fucking, he better have counted that.
Of course he did. He's been doing that better have counted that. Of course he did.
He's been doing that since he fucking started.
Of course he fucking didn't.
Yeah.
That's one thing I can't handle.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now,
he does it again, I'm going to say something.
I don't care we're not playing for money.
I'm going to fucking say something.
That's not fucking, that's not right.
Oh, you know I can't handle that.
That bullshit.
That bullshit.
I can't, I can't handle that.
I play with a guy and I knew he wanted to,
I play with a guy, I can he wanted to i play with a guy i
can't mention names here but uh you don't know him either but i play with this guy oh he knows
my family okay and um it's not the guy up the street who tells you to go fuck yourself when
you say how's your day oh no no no and we're playing and he's got this arrogance, you know, kids making money.
He's got this arrogance, you know, and I knew I was playing better than he was.
And he's one of these guys that it flies left and he goes, shit, man.
So he puts another one down.
I don't know what the fuck, you know, then it flies right.
He's doing that shit. Right.
So I knew I was hitting a breakfast ball all day.
Yeah.
It's like, and I got to give the kid credit.
Kid was hitting fucking bombs
like if these things were straight but they weren't he's wild you know what i mean and then
at the end he goes shit i actually and i forgot the score he said because i actually like it was
some number and i'm like i'm like no what you didn't like i as i was sitting there i'm going
no you didn't i'm going i beat you by three but did strokes. But did you say it? No, I didn't say it because you- Nobody fucking says it.
It drives me fucking crazy.
In this situation, I can't say it. Everybody's shaving off like fucking five strokes
every time they fucking play.
Everybody like, dude, fuck golf.
Fuck that shit.
Fuck off.
Who the fuck wants to do that?
I'm not wired to sit around and watch a guy
shoot a fucking 97 and tell me he shot a fucking 92 i just can't
fucking do it and so any business connection i'm gonna make out of there really you can finance
this film that's great but you shot a fucking 97 oh my god dude you you losing a movie deal
how funny would that be you're like probably do me a favor to go golf with the guy if you see how
the guy fucking plays golf you know jesus you you you know, I'm going to have to audit this guy.
I'll tell you, it's going to be rough waiting for that check coming in, Paul.
You know what?
I 100% agree with you.
Shit like that says a lot about a person in regular life.
In regular life.
I think a lot of people got to the country club shaving a little here,
a little there.
There you go, Paul.
I think there's a culture.
You know what? There's some truth to that. and then you get knock around guys out there you know
swinging the fucking swinging the wrenches trying to have a good time that's right and then all the
fucking you know loveless marriages you got their broads looking at you you don't need that headache
that's why you got to play a public course paul yeah well you can't come down there with your chain hanging out with
a nice smile on your face and they're all married to these wall street guys their fucking ass is all
tight you come fucking walking in like you're on the joint i chuck i tuck the chain in under the
collar when i go to the nice spots oh little class yeah i take it but then when i start playing good
i fucking throw one of them out just so people what is what are the rules paul
do you like is it like a vibe you like chains coming out
or yeah yeah no it is it's a feel of the night you know here's the one thing if i feel who you

like i'm gonna i'm gonna buy a beach house i'm gonna enjoy my beach house you know i'm gonna if
i bought a beach house i would live at the beach
and then i would sell this house because i'll tell you right i mean yeah i became a different
person out there i saw it i talked to you in the three conversations i had with you i think there
was a face time in there i just saw a whole other billy you were skipping around i haven't seen you
skipping around like that since we were throwing a football in washington dc in 2008 uh where was that me and you took an nfl
football the official one when we met willis at the thing and we went to a field and we started
whipping the fucking thing around before one of our shows i think it was before we fucking ate
like idiots at that tasting.
We, yeah, we ate like,
cause we didn't know what we were doing.
That chef hooked us up.
Andrew, this guy, this chef liked me and Paul's comedy.
Right? So he says, come, I got a restaurant in town.
Come by.
And Virzi said, they going.
No, he liked Bill's being modest.
He was a fan of Bill.
I was opening for Bill.
They said, go down and then go ahead.
So I bring Virzi and Virzi the whole way is talking shit.
He's like, like bill we are
gonna dine like gods i remember that so we fucking show up for this thing and i didn't realize that
when you go there and a chef cooks for you he gives you a taste of the menu they bring out a
plate of everything you don't have to finish it though i mean i just i was raised you finish what
they bring you so dude it was fucking it was fucking just, it was everything.
So it would be like some spicy shrimp type of thing,
and then you'd get waffles.
And then there'd be like a salad.
I mean, it was just, my stomach was like, what's going on here?
Okay?
We're just sitting there going like, oh, you bought more?
We just kept trying to finish the fucking plates.
We're eating everything like we were at Nathan's or something.
So then we have to do a show that night. think we told this story before in the park i can't remember so we fucking end up going down to the dc improv and we are both
in the green room like sweating yeah we had like profusely and and he's literally going like we
didn't have these looks on our faces like you know like we just got pulled out of something and survived and we're like in shock and versi's going like
dude i i don't i don't i just don't feel right i just i just i kind of think i can get through my
set i couldn't believe you said thanks a lot good night yeah no he did an hour and i couldn't
believe he did an hour because i had to do 15, 20 minutes. And I felt like I actually felt nauseous, like I could throw up, but also slow.
It was just it was.
Dude, I was so fucked up in the end.
I was selling my DVDs and the chef was standing in the line.
He said, hello.
I didn't even recognize him.
I was like, hey, what's going on?
How are you?
And then he was probably like, what the fun?
I felt so bad.
The next day I went down to his restaurant to apologize, to tell him I was so full of food.
But of course, the place was closed.
So there went that hookup.
All right.
We're starting.
We're.
I got a kid's birthday party.
I got to go, man.
This fucking hour just flew by.

saw a fan fall out of the stands that's how i fucked it up i was thinking up a deck when i
said it my favorite memory is a baseball player we play it in philly and i saw a fan fall out of
the stands that's oh my god that's incredible well we should definitely end it you know i love
