Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday Morning Podcast for Monday, February 24th, 2025. What's going on? How are ya? How's it going? How's your life? Look at the fucking Red Sox making moves, signing pictures. I don't know who they are but people are excited. I actually ordered that spring training hat, the red one. It's the red hat with the blue bill. And back in the day the the B was also blue to match the bill now they have it white. But you know I was talking to one of my buddies because when we first watched the Red Sox, that's what their uniforms looked like. The 70s. Baseball 70s movies. They matched the cereal that you were eating in the morning. My whole childhood was, look, it was like looking at a giant bowl of like fruit loops of tricks. It was just nuclear orange and reds, yellows and greens. It was fucking incredible. It was just nuclear orange and reds, yellows and greens. It was fucking incredible.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It was just like, I just think enough people in the right positions in life had taken LSD or maybe it was their misinterpretation of what LSD was and they just, everything was like fucking psychedelic. Like the Houston Astros, I mean, good Lord. That uniform, the orange hat and then whatever the fuck was going on in the shirt was amazing. The pirates with the all yellow from the batting helmet all the way down to the black cleats. Everything in it was this fucking amazing yellow. The Cardinals had that great, like that vivid blue
Starting point is 00:01:46 with the red, which doesn't even make sense. You know, I guess red, white and blue on the flag, but it was just sort of red and blue if I remember correctly. And then Chicago had the most boring where the White Sox had horrible. Like they look like an expansion franchise. You know, the White Sox uniforms.
Starting point is 00:02:05 I don't understand, they're such a fucking weird team because then once the 70s went away with all the colorful shit and they got a little more conservative when Ronald Reagan went in there and he starts firing air traffic controllers because they had the audacity to go on strike and wanted to make fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:23 get paid their worth. He was like, ah, fuck you. He just fired him. I'll tell you right now, the one fucking job, the number one job you don't want to back up for other than a fucking brain surgeon would be an air traffic controller. I think Stewie could do it. Let's give him a shot. So anyway, it all became conservative again. And then the white socks all of a sudden out of nowhere, they have uniforms like the Houston Astros used to have. So anyway, so my whole life,
Starting point is 00:03:02 I thought that the red socks had that red cap for most of the 70s, at least eight seasons. I thought, you know, because you always saw the 1975 World Series highlights with, you know, Carlton Fisk, you know, the Bucky Dent home run in 78. So I always assumed that they wore them for like eight seasons. But I went back and I looked at the team photos because someone was asking me about that. They only wore them in the 75, 76, 77 and 78 seasons. And then that was it. I thought for sure they went the rest of the 70s wearing them, but the 79 team, they went back to the blue hats and I remember you know I was just a kid 10 years old or something when they came back in 79 almost 11 right and I was looking at them and they had the blue hats and I was going what I couldn't figure out
Starting point is 00:03:55 which team was the Red Sox I was like a one of the first games of the year my parents are going like no that's that's what they used to look like. I was like, they did, I had no concept of that. I just thought they always were the red ones. So anyway, they brought him back for spring training, which I think is great, man. Um, like that, I have, I still somewhere I bought a Mitchell and Ness Jim Rice home jersey where it says is it the home of the way I might be the away where it says bar it's the away where it's sort of gray and it says Boston and red with this number 14 on the back but anyway anyway so here I am. I'm seeing my family. I saw them this weekend which was unbelievable. I think I spent the whole weekend just wrestling with my kids. All
Starting point is 00:04:57 these different games we play, playing soccer and doing all that. So it's so great to like you know go out to Los Angeles and then come right back. But I'm going to be doing that a lot. I somehow didn't catch my son's cold. I'd like hand sanitizer in that fucking Zycam shit. Just stuck in both nostrils the whole time I came back. I somehow didn't get the I didn't get it. I got to see my lovely wife who looked more beautiful than I've ever seen her in my life I'll tell you what was wild actually had a dream the other night that my wife left me I
Starting point is 00:05:32 Don't know why I think it had to do with me before you fucking dream catchers out there try to tell me what this means It's cuz I was missing her before you guys are you thinking that cuz it's gonna happen But I remember was this weird fucking dream and all I kept thinking was like it was like beyond heartache that she left me it was just more like what am I gonna do like what the fuck is my life without this person and uh I just think yeah I just gone my limit as far as not seeing her because yeah, she's like my fucking Beyond my wife. She's like my best friend. She's funny as hell. She's like the best hang you're ever gonna have and So that was the hard thing trying to balance that cuz my kids wanted to see me so bad
Starting point is 00:06:21 so I had to wait till they went to bed and then My kids wanted to see me so bad, so I had to wait till they went to bed. And then, uh, you know, just hearing her laugh again. It's my, my favorite laugh in the world, making her laugh. So anyway, so now I'm back to New York and, um, it's funny. I went in to get a cup of coffee at this great place. These Italian guys run, um, just old school, just cranking out double espressos, you know what I mean? They got the shit ready ready should come in and Somebody was saying in there how great it is cuz it's like 40 fucking degrees out. Oh my god The next three days are gonna be 40 degrees. It's fucking great. I'm thinking my head like dude. This isn't great
Starting point is 00:07:01 This isn't great. It's supposed to be fucking cold like dude this isn't great this isn't great it's supposed to be fucking cold any weird weather is fucking freaks me out like this shits coming faster than then the scientists thought it was gonna or whatever like I don't know I don't know but I was you know I don't watch the news because all it does is freak you out, but I was walking by, you know, it's impossible not to see news in New York because they're always like,
Starting point is 00:07:31 there's always some big screen with like a, that stupid stock market thing going on underneath it. As you walk down the street, you just see it, right? So I saw this headline, I think it was in a restaurant or something. I just saw this headline. Is it still safe to fly? Damn.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Ha ha ha. The shameless fucking media. I love when they're trying to just scare the shit out of you to just like get you to watch something. They never have the balls to just make a statement. They always do it in a question. Is this the new America? Should we be worried about this? Is it still, were we right when we blah blah blah? You know? Like why would you listen to people that are that unsure of themselves? They're gonna scare the fucking shit out of you with literally with just a question.
Starting point is 00:08:28 That they know in their head has an element of bullshit. So they gotta like protect themselves from libel or slander. So they just present it in the question form. Or what it is, is if you present this information in a question form, all of these mouth-breathing morons just jump on the- I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD FLY ANYMORE! I will tell you what was fucked up, was that plane that flipped over in like Canada or something. in like Canada or something and the fact, I watched this video this fucking kid is already
Starting point is 00:09:08 videoing as he's getting out of an airplane, he just landed on it it's upside down, I know it's the end of the flight but there's still enough fuel in the thing, if that ignites you're gonna burn to death like this fucking human kebab in there, in this this fucking thing and he's filming
Starting point is 00:09:28 As he's getting out he's not thinking like oh my god get me out Please God get me out of here so I don't burn to death Get me out of this thing before I hear the screams of other people starting to catch on fire He doesn't think that he's filming, leaving the fucking turnover airplane, and then he gets away from it. And his description of his experience, like if it was dialogue in the movie,
Starting point is 00:10:01 was the worst dialogue I've ever heard. He was just in an airplane, he's landing safely, it suddenly flips over, he thinks he's gonna die, he doesn't, he's hanging upside down from a seatbelt, he's thinking, am I gonna be in the air like a fucking rotisserie chicken and get burned to death? Is this what's gonna happen? He goes through all of those emotions and this is his dialogue when he gets off, he's like, yo! What the fuck? those emotions and this is his dialogue when he gets off he's like yo what the fuck yo I was on that shit like we didn't just see him video going out of
Starting point is 00:10:34 it and that's all he could come up with was different versions of yo what the What the actual fuck? Now here's the thing. I'm not looking at this guy like he's a fucking moron. What I'm looking at him as is like, that, what he's doing is in me. Because I sit here and I'm scrolling on Instagram like every other social media monkey out there for hours on end, rather than watching a movie, at least there's some, you know, a good movie
Starting point is 00:11:12 or read a book or connect with my wife. I'm sitting next to her as we're both sitting there scrolling and it's starting to affect people's vocabulary. You're like, he was speaking in Instagram comments. Like that was his language. I mean, I get it if you're stunned and you can't like, talk but the way he was describing, he sounded like he saw somebody get dunked on.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yo, what the fuck? Oh, shit. Like if you read the dialogue, and there was three options, he just saw somebody get dunked on, he just saw somebody get knocked out, or he landed in a Delta Airlines flight that inexplicably flipped over. He was hanging from his seatbelt, thought he was going to burn to death and by the grace of God didn't.
Starting point is 00:12:15 What do you think? I'm glad he's still alive. But I there was definitely a life lesson in there that all I got out of that is I need to fucking read more. One of the things I want to do when I'm in when I'm in New York here is I want to start going to museums and I want to educate myself on painters. And this is a combination of the influence of my wife because she's super smart and she takes me to those places and it's starting to take hold and I saw this that documentary on Steve Martin.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And it was something about him, someone telling a story. And he went to a museum for some premiere. And he could name every painting he could name. I'm doing my podcast. Sorry. I'm at work right now. Yeah, yeah. I'm only going to go for like another half hour, okay? Is that alright? As long as you don't mind.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, yeah. Just for another half, yeah. So anyway, he knew all, I fucked up, I thought rehearsal was today was at 10.15, it wasn't until noon, so now I'm sitting here like an asshole. Anyway, so he could name all the paintings, he could name all the paintings, he could name all the painters, and all of that. And there was something about it that resonated with me where I was just like,
Starting point is 00:13:54 this is what human beings could do before like a hundred channels or endless streaming or the fucking internet. And I know I'm a meathead, but I could at least be an informed meathead. You know what I mean? So the artist I like the best, I can't remember his fucking name. It's Edward something or other. He's the one who did Nighthawks and all of that.
Starting point is 00:14:22 So you know that classic painting that every bar seems to have where it's like you're across the street looking in at this diner and people are sitting in there drinking. And it's sort of this melancholy. He's from like, he's a realist or realism or something like that. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I just, I do know this about me. I don't like art that's built. Like I don't want to see like somebody like, you know, like weld a fucking office chair to a grocery cart. You know, and then stick an umbrella on top open, but it's broken, man. And it's like, it's, you know, and then stick an umbrella on top, open, but it's broken, man. And it's like, it's, you know, it's commenting on the grind of capitalism. I'm not into that shit at all. That stuff, you can take it right to the dump. Okay? That's what that shit looks like to me. Okay? I'm not saying I'm right.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Alright? I just, I just, yeah. It's a waste of fucking space, but I'm more into like, I like the realest stuff. And I like the surrealist shit now that I've taken some mushrooms. And it's kind of like, you know, that psychedelic thing. I like that stuff. I appreciate that shit. How fucking dumb do I sound?
Starting point is 00:15:41 This is why I have to go to museums. All right? And it's not really even for me. It's just for the people in my life. How fucking dumb do I sound? This is why I have to go to museums. Alright? And it's not really even for me, it's just for the people in my life, so they're less embarrassed when I open my mouth at a party. You see what I just did there? I just made myself a hero. An empathetic character, as I navigate my own stupidity that others have to fucking deal with so um anyway um we're getting closer with the play here that we're getting closer to like previews
Starting point is 00:16:18 so it's getting uh it's getting really exciting oh Oh Billy, Jim bod. Oh my God, the fucking damage I did to my torso. Holy shit. It's just unbelievable. Like I have fat in places. I didn't even know you could have fucking fat. I was sitting there going like my stomach isn't sticking out. I bought one of those, one of those, those fucking those, you know those things that people,
Starting point is 00:16:39 when they take your sizes at the, at the dry cleaner, what do you call that? Not a tape measure. Whatever, a measuring tape. There we go, look at that. Just talking about the museums. I remember what that thing was called. I bought one of those, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:16:56 The fucking, have you done that? You wanna, it only goes up to 39 inches, by the way. So if you wanna humble yourself, why don't you go fuck and see what what what the equator of your body is right now and then try to do the math of how long it would take the sun to go around all those fucking mistakes in the last since you left high school so I am committed other than to have a great time on this play, which
Starting point is 00:17:27 is what I'm doing. I am going to drop. I'm getting back down to my fighting weight, which I have not been since like the end of 2019. All right, I fucking I've had it. The fat shaming that is going on in my bathroom every morning when I brush my teeth shirtless, I get right in my grill. Look what the fuck you did. Look what you did. I turned sideways. I turned, you know what's a great one?
Starting point is 00:17:57 You turn three quarters of the way around and you can still see the front of your stomach. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That's when you just, you really look at your wife and realize how much she loves you. Like, she's putting up with this? This is fucking horrific. Um, whatever. So, you know what's funny too is everybody's going, what are you talking about dude? You're in great shape.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I'm like, dude, it's the winner. I have on a pea coat do you know how fat you have to be to look fat in a fucking pea coat how many dozens of donuts you got to eat and then let's look at the other side how much fun is it becoming that fat because I went to I went to go see Billy Gibbons at the fucking City Winery with Chris Layton on drums. Just an amazing, amazing, amazing time. But ZZ Top came out like 10 years before my generation started going to concerts, 76 so my first concert was fucking 86 right so I Was sitting in the crowd I went to the show by myself right now my buddy ended up getting a gig so all right
Starting point is 00:19:19 I have no friends. I went there by myself right and the crowd was like 10 years older than me. And you just looked around the room and you saw people that like, you know, held themselves to a certain standard, you know, like still working out or whatever. But then seeing people 10 years older than me that just said, fuck it. You know, you know that stupid thing that, that, you know, that they came up with that kids, kids say now like, dad, I want to have a yes day. Like whatever I say, you're going to say yes to it's like, no, that's no, I'm going to hear what the fuck you said. I'm going to lean towards yes, but if it doesn't make any sense, I'm not doing it right. These people had like a yes life and you're watching them right? Just these fuck like they're sitting down their stomach goes to their fucking knees. They don't have a lap anymore. You know what
Starting point is 00:20:15 I mean? It's like when you got that crazy snowstorm, it's like a snow drift and they show the person who can't open their door. Yeah, that's them except it's all fucking donuts and ice cream and you just sit there watching them, and they're cracking open a bottle of wine, one appetizer after another, is coming to the table like they just conquered a nation or something, they're having a fucking feast. And I used to look at them with contempt.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Like, would you look at this fat fuck, right? I don't do that anymore. Now I look at him with contempt. Like would you look at this fat fuck, right? I don't do that anymore. Now I look at him with like envy. Like that's another way of doing it. Can you imagine just never going on a diet? Never watching you're drinking, never watching... Eh, I think I'm smoking too much. You have a craving and you just satisfy it.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Your whole fucking life, you get gout at like 32, you just drop at 52, you know, looking like you're 86. And then there's all of these people that are eating like edamame and shit, just shaking their heads at your funeral. And you know, and if you look at like how long the earth has been here and how short your life is, and you're going to get 30 more years than that guy eating fucking edamame
Starting point is 00:21:31 and doing sit-ups, and he was just eating fucking banana splits after a Thanksgiving dinner, just not giving a fuck, you know? I don't know I mean they say gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins but I don't know from where I'm sitting sometimes it looks it looks like a lot of fun anyway let me do the advertising here for this week I also got to kind of get off because people are, uh, sorry, this is, this is going to be late today, but I at least had to get through this shit, um,

I shouldn't have said Democrat. That would just say there was just a politician that was standing up against these fucking idiots trying to get rid of all of this government. Like they're doing it for all of us to stop waste. It's so they can be even more free to take more fucking stuff from everybody else. I mean the fact that people at this point, I swear to God, you know, if you're a billionaire because of your company,
Starting point is 00:28:24 but somebody who works for you is working 40 hours a week and they can't make their rent, that means you're taking too much. Like, how fucking hard is that? How fucking hard is that? Anyway, I don't wanna get back on that shit. All right, let's get into this stuff. This is only gonna be like a 45-minute podcast
Starting point is 00:28:42 because we're getting into rehearsals here really quickly. All right, somebody's writing in here, dry salads. Dear Billy Ruff Ruffage, for the love of God, please put a little olive oil on your salads. Do you know what happens to people who eat dry salads? They start wearing beige corduroys and listen to NPR when they need a little excitement. They drive sobs and listen to NPR when they need a little excitement. They drive
Starting point is 00:29:05 Sobs and go to poetry readings. Hey you watch your fucking mouth when you bring up Sobs. The fucking Sob twin-turbo in the 1980s was like one of the only cars that had balls and was fast. In fact all the European shit and the Japanese shit because they de-balled the fucking American shit with the catalytic converter oh wait a minute you had the the Buick Grand National too even like the iRog Z was like 300 horsepower it's nothing compared to now anyways continuing on I'm offering you a room in my aunt's house in Sardinia so you can get some healthy fats and vitamin D in your life.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Dude, I still eat half an avocado with breakfast. Love you and can't wait to see the play. Did you guys see that woman? She was a vegan and she went to climb Mount Everest because she wanted to prove that just because you're vegan doesn't mean you're not strong. And she died of altitude sickness so all these fucking idiot meat eaters are like oh yeah she was dying she
Starting point is 00:30:11 probably was telling you that like and they all ignored the fact that that fucking Mount Everest is littered with the dead bodies of meat eaters for over a fucking century. You don't die up there because of your diet. You're dead because you're at an altitude above a fucking American Airlines flight to Los Angeles. That's why you're dying. Not because you eat Brussels sprouts or you ate half a fucking cow before you did it. Anyway, they're all up there. They're just fucking dead. And you know what's going to happen with global warming is those bodies are finally going to decompose. And then nobody's going to go up the mountain because it's going to smell so bad for a couple years until they turn to dust and some of the really old guys You know who have the wooden skis and shit those guys that died in like the 1930s They're gonna decompose in about a fucking week because they're not full of preservatives and what you're really gonna see is
Starting point is 00:31:19 Sort of like a graph of how poison our fucking diet has become Because there's gonna be a few like that chick who just fucking died who was a vegan, who is still eating all of this fucking lettuce and stuff that had all this these carcinogens on them, I guarantee you she's gonna look like she's just taking a nap for about six months before she starts getting I'm guaranteeing it with no science background whatsoever. All right. Dirty public saunas. All right, dirty public saunas.
Starting point is 00:31:46 All right, Dear Bill, you recently talked about how concerned you are using public saunas. This is partially due to sanitary concerns and some discrete levels of homophobia. It's not discrete levels of homophobia. You go there, there's signs that say this thing is closed down because of inappropriate behavior. That's not homophobic. Homophobic
Starting point is 00:32:06 would be if it wasn't happening in there. Okay? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the gay lifestyle. I'm just saying you walk into a sauna, it's a flip of a coin whether or not you're going to walk into a sword fight. Right? Am I nuts? Those signs are just there to be there? Anyway, I too love spending time in the sauna until recently had no issues using public saunas I never encountered any men that seem closeted in the sauna Usually just old wrinkly men that want to talk your ear off Oh, the old guys are hilarious too, and they have no problem walking in there completely fucking naked Showing their Korean era Korean War era fucking junk
Starting point is 00:32:47 However, my university has a sauna in one of its many Physical education buildings and many of the other students don't actually know it's there Apparently the janitors don't know it's there either one day in the evening at home My beautiful young young lady noticed a strange looking patch of skin on my left butt cheek. Oh God. Upon further inspection, I realized it was ringworm or something very similar. I treated the skin fungus and forgot about it. As I can. Oh my God, I noticed the same little spots of dirt and little pieces of trash in the corners and on the floor, gradually becoming more concerned.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I noticed more and more patches of random skin fungus on my legs and ass. By this point, I put the pieces together and realized the sauna was never getting cleaned and likely hosting a variety of nasty funguses and probably more. 100%. I stopped using the sauna and I immediately noticed I was no longer having mystery skin fungus appear on my beautiful ass and legs. Suffice to say, your fears of saunas being unsanitary are totally valid. Yeah, I go in there with my own flip-flops, bathing suit and a towel wrapped around me.
Starting point is 00:34:14 I never go skin-to-skin contact. You can't do it. You can't do it. Perhaps the skin fungus I picked up was from a couple fellas getting real personal in the steam room After hours who knows nah, I mean, it's just People are I don't know it's the combination of everybody's bacteria, and it just because it's gross I don't I'm gonna start gagging if I keep talking about it anyway
Starting point is 00:34:38 Thanks for the laughs and help me through the toughest of times much love and go fuck yourself sincerely your fan I feel like the best steam rooms are the ones at hotels. I feel like they're really concerned about getting sued and all of that stuff. They actually have signs that say don't stay in there longer than 15 minutes. Kids under the age of 11 or 12 can't go in there. It seems like there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:35:04 lawyer-y kind of shit going on, but I definitely make sure I never go in there. And then the towel that you're wrapped in, you can't ever use that to wipe your face. You bring another one in, like the hand one, and that's the only one that goes up to your face, and then that's it. And then you go back to your room and you immediately take a fucking shower vigorously. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:35:37 And then you combine that with people banging in there. It's just, it's just, it's fucking wild. All right. Parking lot puncture. Hey, Billy Broadway, I wanted to get your opinion on a situation I find myself in after getting hit in a parking lot a couple of weeks ago. You got run over or you were in your,
Starting point is 00:35:56 I was sitting in my car, okay, I was sitting in my car while parked in a lot, looking down at my phone when I felt a sudden jolt. I realized I had been hit from behind and got out to see what happened. The guy got out and apologizing, saying he was looking the other way and didn't see me. I asked for his insurance info and he spent a couple minutes trying to pull it up on his phone, failing to actually log into his account, claiming he can't remember what his mom had it under. This is a middle-aged man, by the way.
Starting point is 00:36:26 So take a picture of his license plate. After waiting for him out there as long as I could in the zero degree weather, I asked him if there was anything else he had that I could have as a document and at least managed to get a picture of his registration and his card for where he works in town. I basically told him I can try and work it out with him if he doesn't want to go through insurance But don't screw me I then got a couple of quotes on my bumper over the next few days and brought them to to his work You could tell he was shocked by the number and to be fair It was a ridiculous amount for what had to be done 1500 to replace the bumper on a Subaru
Starting point is 00:37:04 Dude, you just you you just, the second he's acting like he doesn't have insurance, you gotta run it through your insurance. I told him if he needs to spread it over a couple of months, I'll work with him and said if he'd talk it over with his wife and let me know what they can do. Oh my God, nothing in writing. He now emails me a little over a week later and says, it'll have to be about four months until he can pay me anything, claiming he has bills. And I get it, but we all have bills.
Starting point is 00:37:33 He then follows it up with, plus it's not an emergency if you get it done since you just have the crack the size of a silver dollar. And while he's exaggerating little on the sides of it, who is he to decide what an emergency is for me? Yeah, because you were nice to the guy. This is, no good deed goes unpunished. It's my favorite expression. With how much I've been trying to be nice
Starting point is 00:37:56 and work with him, this is the part that, uh, what really bothered me. So my question is, how would you respond to this? Uh, yeah, nothing. I would just fucking run it through my insurance company. Um, if it's not too late. I feel like I've given him every bit of grace, yet he's still acting this way, so it doesn't give me hope that he's going to be a man of his word.
Starting point is 00:38:16 I was trying to help him avoid insurance, etc., but it looks like I might have to go more of that route. Absolutely you do. Fuck this guy. You try to be a nice guy, he's not being nice back. It's done. No one missed a nice guy. Run it through your insurance. He said or at least threaten to see threaten it to see if it helps inspire him to actually get the money. No, this guy gets threatened every day by his his creditors. He doesn't give a fuck. He's stringing you along, hoping you're going to get bored. I would run it through your insurance and he's not gonna have any insurance surprise surprise
Starting point is 00:38:47 Love seeing you the last time you were in Colorado Springs. Hope you could make it out to Colorado again soon Thank you and go rear end yourself. Oh, I see what you did. I see what you did there All right. Oh Boy wife cheated on me and got the house. Oh the double whammy. Hey Billy, buffoon bags. Last May, my wife went away for the weekend and didn't tell me where her and her friends were going. She left me home with our two kids and said, I just want one weekend to refresh myself.
Starting point is 00:39:22 I couldn't understand why she wouldn't just tell me what hotel she was going to. Wow, she was sloppy from the beginning. Cut to a few months later, a friend of mine at work who had only met my wife once saw her at a restaurant cozying up to another guy, cozying up or making out with them. A few weeks, few weeks after he saw her, he had the opportunity to bring it up to me that he saw her and asked if we were separated. Oh no. Yeah, that's more than cozying up. My heart sunk because I was suspecting this much for some time. I confronted her and she admitted she did. Or at least she admitted it.
Starting point is 00:40:05 But instead of feeling any remorse, oh boy, she started yelling at me and giving me reasons why it was my fault. I hate to say this dude, this all tracks. We're now going through a divorce and it looks like she'll be keeping the house and getting half of my 401k retirement. I was once on pace to retire by 55 but those plans are out the window. Oh my god I'm in therapy and trying to get my life together. It's really difficult knowing she's happy and eating well while I'm miserable and have to force myself to eat. Dude let me tell you something right now. Okay before I get any further and okay this is what you have to know in life. The only person that has the power to put your fucking light out Dude, let me tell you something right now. Okay? Before I get any further, okay?
Starting point is 00:40:45 This is what you have to know in life. The only person that has the power to put your fucking light out is you. Don't give that power to her. Alright? You got to understand, okay? She's an old bag. Just like you. Alright?
Starting point is 00:41:01 But the thing about it is, is women are very forgiving. So you can go out very easily and get yourself a hot girlfriend. She's fucked. She's on the other side of the rainbow. Alright? The only thing she's going to be getting out there is some guy that needs a half a bottle of fucking Viagra just to stay up past 10 o'clock. Alright? Who cares? She got a house and a bunch of fucking stuff. Okay? There's nothing preventing you from just downsizing a little bit. Just live within your means.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Okay, dude, there's people out there today got into a fucking car accident and they're paralyzed from the neck down. What would you rather have? You wanna lay there dealing with that shit or you got some fucking broad that went out and cheated on you. Join the fucking club.
Starting point is 00:41:40 It's happened to everybody, all right? Fuck her. Fuck her. Get on with your life. Don't let her take half your 401k and your fucking house and your happiness. You got to have control over something. All right. Anyway, we live in a no fault state, which means it doesn't matter who committed infidelity or what the reason is. Everything gets split in half. I understand the state has to be a babysitter for adults in these situations and hearing out each side can be subjective but it still
Starting point is 00:42:09 sucks. Dude there's an end to this. There's an end to child support and there's also an end to alimony. Okay? And this person is going to be out of your life. He said I'm kind of a quiet person and I know it's going to be hard for me to meet another woman I would really like some advice or encouragement. Yeah, dude. You know what? This is your opportunity to stop being a quiet person and Find the same way as a comedian when the turning point in a comedian is when you start finding the humor in bombing When you can go on stage the humor and bombing. When you can go on stage with the hope that this shit's gonna make people laugh and then they don't and how stupid you feel afterwards, there's something if you can get outside the pain of that, it starts to become funny. And then what happens
Starting point is 00:42:55 is rather than being like a running back in the NFL running upright, taking all the hits that becomes like glancing blows. And you know when to step out of bounds and fucking laugh at yourself or whatever, to use a football analogy. All right, there's no fucking reason. This isn't the end, dude, this is the beginning. Okay, and maybe because you were such a quiet person, you ended up with the kind of person
Starting point is 00:43:20 that ends up cheating on you and then yells at you. All right, listen, your life is gonna be so much better. And I guarantee you, there's a woman out there that went through the same bullshit with some fucking asshole guy. All right, and when you guys get on the other side of this and you find each other, you know, and you're both gonna respect each other,
Starting point is 00:43:37 you're gonna trust each other, you're gonna be having a great time in a fucking Jimmy Buffett pool at one of his goddamn hotels before you whatever the fuck you're into all right okay but you decide don't let her fucking decide don't ever let these fucking assholes whoever they are your boss anybody decide whether or not you get to enjoy your life all right anyways this person
Starting point is 00:44:04 said I would never be writing to you, except my cousin told me to consider what Bill Burr would do or say, ah, look at this, and get my confidence back. I know there's no easy fix to this. No, there isn't. There isn't. And you gotta go through this,
Starting point is 00:44:15 and you gotta cry this shit out of you. I'm not saying you gotta do it in front of other men. We're not comfortable with that. But, you know, the reason why women live longer than us is when they go through heartache, they cry it out. And they talk it out. So you do that. But you know, the reason why women live longer than us is when they go through heartache, they cry it out and they talk it out. So you do that. Okay? She already took half your 401k and your fucking house. Don't let her take your life too or your enjoyment. All of those decisions are yours. All right? So have yourself a good cry. Sit up straight and get out there and start talking to some broads
Starting point is 00:44:45 and turn your fucking life around, alright? Don't get married again. Not for a while. Get the fucking NFL package. There's a bunch of little things. You forget how simple you were before a woman was in your life. What do you need?
