COVID-19 doesn't hit every community the same.
Many of us have had COVID and no people
who have gone to the hospital.
Some never came back.
Truth is, our community deserves better.
Better resources we can trust to protect ourselves.
A good start is talking to our friends and family
about getting vaccinated or boosted.

Hey, what's going on?
It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Thursday afternoon
just before Friday, Monday morning podcast,
and I'm just checking it on you.
What's going on, everybody?
Oh, Freckles has a busy week.
I'm recording this on Wednesday,
so all you Laker fans out there,
if you think I'm skirting the issue,
that you won number 17.
If you did, congratulations.
If you didn't, go Miami.
That's all I can say.
In this new NBA of the last, I don't know, 20-something years,
whatever, I'm just a grumpy old man.
You know, I was actually thinking about all of this crap
where people just, well, look at how the game isn't played
now with this.
Oh, yeah, the 10 best people all pile on fucking two teams.
It's the most boring shit.
It's not as bad as I'm making it out to be,
but I will say this in defense of myself.
Remember that Olympic dream team
that everybody still blows to this day, right?
The Jordan-led dream team.
That was the most boring basketball
I've ever seen in my life.
Other than the clip of when Jordan's team was playing
Magic Johnson's team during practice,
that was the dream game.
But watching, you know, fucking guys,
all of those guys playing against Ethiopia
and winning by 126 points,
it was like watching the jocks play the math team.
You know, I don't want to watch Vince Carter
jump over some fucking nerd.
I mean, how long can you walk?
I don't know.
I'm not into that shit.
So, but that is how the game is played
and the Boston Celtics play it too.
So it's all fair, right?
We bought one in 2008.
They're better at buying one.
So go on them if they want it.
If they didn't, go Miami.
That's all I can say.
All right, plowing ahead here.
The real thing that I want to talk about
is the passing of Eddie Van Halen.
The just, I don't know.
There's no words.
I don't know what to say.
I really don't, but I'm going to try here.
I always remember when I was in high school
and some of the teachers I had
who were teenagers when the Beatles came out.
And, you know, even if you told them,
yeah, you know, I like the Beatles and everything.
It's like, no, no, you don't get it.
There's no way to, you had to be there
to understand what it was like when they came out,
how exciting it was when their next record came out
and how much they changed pop music
and all of that type of stuff.
And that is a really true statement
because the longer time goes by
when the giants come through, you know,
since their debut, the more people take from what they did
and it waters down, you know,
the impact of what they had initially.
Cause I will tell you this,
obviously I'm not old enough for the Beatles,
but I will tell you that the first time I heard Van Halen 1,
their first album,
there was a family down the street.
Like we were all into AC DC,
but there was a family down the street from us
that were into, it was two of them.
Well, kind of like our family, big families, five boys.
And then there was another one that had like three,
four boys and a bunch of sisters and stuff,
just big families.
And so the brothers were a little bit older
so they were hip to the music that was coming out
cause I was still like in like, I don't know,
third, fourth grade.
But the first time I heard that fucking album,
it was like nothing I had ever heard before in my life.
It was, I was telling Dean Delray,
it was like the record was like,
I was surprised the record wasn't on fire.
It was just this sound I had never heard in my life.
It made the hair on my arm just stand up.
And what was so cool about back then was there was no video,
there was nothing, you just had the record
and you just staring at the record,
like what is that?
How does somebody make that sound?
Is that more than one guitar?
What is going on here?
And I always feel like people that are that far ahead
of that time, inevitably they're just misunderstood
when people then try to replicate
or try to figure out what it is that they're doing.
And I feel like he was unbelievably like misinterpreted
where people finally figured out his tapping technique
and then the way they applied it, they didn't have his gift
and it would just be sort of,
take a solo and play nine million notes
where if you listen to Eddie's, just his phrasing
that the fucking ride the guy took you on,
he had the ability to play 90 million miles an hour.
And but just because you can do that doesn't,
if you do it all the time,
or for too long of a time, it loses its effect.
So the way he would like pull it back
and then at the precise moment just unleash that fury
and then he could go and then take it back down again,
go into like this melodic thing,
it's just the fucking ride that that guy could take you on
in two, three.
I mean, the eruption was like barely two minutes long
all the way up to like he could write a music score,
six, seven minutes long.
Just I'm so thankful that I got to see him in concert.
I saw him, I missed those guys the first time around.
So when they got back together with David Lee,
I got to see them with Eddie's son Wolfgang on bass.
I saw him at the Staples Center
and my favorite part of the show,
other than that Dave was back with them,
was there was an instrument when Eddie took his solo
and it was Eddie and Alex.
And I was just sitting there like,
I don't know, I couldn't believe how good they still work
because I don't know, people just have it in your head
where you get older, you lose the fire or the passion
or you slow down or whatever.
They were fucking unbelievable.
And then it finally just dawned on me that like,
wait a minute, these guys have been jamming,
these are brothers, they have been jamming and writing
and interacting with each other musically at that point
for close to 50 years.
And it's weird, I don't remember what they played.
I just remember sitting, I was to the right side
of the stage up a little bit, just sitting there
my mind fucking just going, they still,
they're actually better than they were in the 80s.
So I don't, it's a huge, huge loss to my generation
and all that and all young people who don't know
who he is, I highly recommend starting with Van Halen one
and just working your way through.
And my condolences to, you know, obviously this whole family
and you know, it just sucks, man,
this whole fucking getting old thing and all that.
So there goes another one, holy shit.
Last fucking 10 years, I think of some of the people
that went, a lot of whom I never saw
because I don't know, I went to a lot of sports
and metal shit.
Like I saw David Lee Roth's band with Steve Vai,
Greg Bissonette and Billy Sheen.
And I did see that, the Edamon Smile tour.
I wish I went to more concerts,
but yeah, I didn't have the fucking money.
I would have gone to more if I could have,
but I'm thankful for the ones that I saw,
the legends I saw, I got to see Eddie Van Halen,
I got to see Malcolm Young, I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughn.
I mean, those are three big ones, but you know,
and I highly recommend just,
even if you didn't get to see him in whatever,
when they were younger, you should go see him
when they're older, because they're still doing it.
And like, unless they've just completely fallen off
and fucking, then it's sad, you don't wanna see that shit,
but like, you know, I'm still kicking myself.
I remember Prince came to the forum
and did like fucking 20 shows,
and I didn't go see one of them.
I was just on the road and I was wiped out
and I just assumed that he was gonna be around again.
David Bowie, I never saw all of these people,
so I am just so thankful that I just got to see a guy
that just turned the guitar fucking upside down.
He was like, literally was like an alien.
And I don't know, like I, to this day,
I just feel like, you know, like Alex Van Halen,
I still, I'm waiting for him to get his dues,
how great a drummer he was,
like his brother just cast such an incredible shadow,
and just how humble Alex must be
that he was cool with all of that.
And he just didn't, like, I gotta tell you something,
that, I was talking to my buddy the other day about,
oh, yesterday, when this whole thing went down
when I was talking about, we were just talking about,
you know, Vinny and Dimebag, and then now, you know,
Eddie and Alex, and just that brother-bond drummer
and lead guitarist type of thing.
And we were just talking about how, you know,
the drum parts Vinny Paul came up with,
and the stuff that Alex Van Halen came up with.
And I remember I actually got to meet
and get to know Vinny a little bit.
He was such a nice guy when I did the rich,
the rich bitch tour with the late great Charlie Murphy,
Don L. Rawlings, and he came out,
and he just was such a nice guy,
and he answered all of my questions.
And I remember, I asked him, I said,
who did you listen to and everything?
And he brought up Alex Van Halen.
Obviously, his brother, Dime, was a huge Eddie fan,
you know, obviously.
So, I imagine Vinny was too,
but like, that he brought up Alex Van Halen,
I was like, I love this guy,
because like, I just always feel like, you know,
when you talk Van Halen, it was about
Eddie's playing in Dave's frontman skills.
But the song that always just blew me away was
Mean Streets.
And that was yet another one when that thing came out,
it was just like, what the fuck is that guitar part?
What is he doing?
How does he do that?
I remember like, like fucking seven years later,
I was living in North Carolina for like a year,
and I was working at this restaurant,
and was this really cool dude, Jason was his name,
worked at this defunct fucking restaurant,
the Sable Cafe in Cary, North Carolina.
We worked in this, it was fucking hilarious.
I get so many fucking stories about that place, man.
Just the coolest, funniest, craziest fucking people.
I mean, it's the restaurant business.
I don't care how elegant it is out in the fucking room,
you got no idea what's going on in the kitchen.
Just say people were feeling good.
You know, I don't know if I ever told this fucking story.
All right, so part of my job was I had to fucking
mop the floor in the beginning.
It was, I might have told this before in the podcast,
but this is just one of my favorite,
just fucking random stories.
I was, I actually told it yesterday to somebody,
just fresh in my head, I guess.
So they had this oyster box,
just fresh in my head, I guess.
So they had this oyster bar.
It was one of these restaurants.
It was like in a, I don't know what Cary's like now,
but it was like, it was an up and coming sort of suburb,
and they built this five-star fucking restaurant
and put all of this money into it.
I mean, it was just hemorrhaging cash from,
they needed to be sold out from day one,
which is one of the toughest things to do in any business,
forget about a fucking restaurant.
But that's what they did.
So they had this oyster bar,
and it had the black and white tiles,
like the, an improv or something back in the day.
And so every night, every morning I would come in there
and just those black and white tiles
would get so fucking filthy from people spilling drinks
and food and the dirt on the bottom of the shoes.
It just looked horrible.
And I would come in there and I have to pull all the chairs out
and I don't know, I'm a fucking lunatic.
Like, I don't, I always just had like, I got into it.
It's like, I'm going to fucking have this thing like shining.
Fuck it.
If I got to do this, I'm going to do it, right?
My parents taught me that.
So I'm fucking doing this shit.
And then I'd get, it was like a horse shape shoot,
shape bar.
It start to the left and I would work my way around
and then the dreaded part, when I get to the other side,
I kind of have to leave it.
I would wait to do the last part until the end
because people would come in and they would be walking
into the kitchen as they were showing up to work.
So I would mop up three quarters of that.
And then the worst part is I had to go into the bathroom
because now I had to go do the bathrooms
and the fucking bathrooms, the shit that went on there,
I no pun intended.
I will tell you the woman's bathroom.
I don't even, I don't know what the fuck they did in there,
but it was like they had a ticker tape parade
with toilet paper and then they eliminated on it.
Lipstick and just fucking, it was literally like a bunch
of rodeo clowns through shit at each other.
It was makeup and just, I don't know what, blood.
I mean, it was a fucking crime scene in this.
So I do that one last.
So I go into the men's room and I'm going in there
and I mop up and my boss is in there.
And when I tell you just fucking rousing into this,
he's got the water going and he's brushing his teeth
and he's just, and after each time,
he would continue to brush his teeth
and then for another few seconds and then just go in the sink.
And I was just literally standing in the door
trying to process what I was seeing.
And then he was done.
I mean, it's this whole thing went down
in like fucking eight long seconds.
It was like two to three massive like,
were you possessed by the devil fucking yaks into the sink
while the water's running and he's brushing his teeth
between each one of them, not looking at me.
And then when he's done, he just turns around and he says to me,
oh yeah, you know, just sometimes I gag when I brush my teeth.
It is how dumb I was.
I fucking believed him.
I, it wasn't until like, I don't know, like eight, nine,
10 years later, I thought about it again.
I was like, no, he was fucking hungover.
He was hungover.
He just started to brush his teeth
and whatever he did the night before was coming out.
Or I don't know, I mean, am I really supposed to believe
that what are you jamming the whole fucking tooth?
You deep-froten it like a porn star?
I don't know.
So anyway, this is a long story gets me back to fucking mean streets.
So then I would finish that area in there
and the place was slowly going out of business.
And as it went out of business, I've told these stories before.
I went from being the bus boys slash mop things up to bus boys
slash mop shit up slash dishwasher slash grill shift.
I ended up doing like three of the fucking jobs
and they just kept bumping me up like 50 cents, 75 cents an hour.
And I should have been like, well, wait a minute,
you were paying me six in a quarter to do this
and you were paying that guy seven bucks to do the grill.
If I'm doing both, I should not be making 13, 25 an hour, right?
I was just happy to get so fucking bad with money.
I was so fucking bad with money.
I was doing three jobs.
I was a bus boy, a dishwasher.
I was also mopping up the fuck am I mopping up for?
That's the cleaning company.
It's not my job, right?
Well, maybe it is.
I'll give them that one.
And then the grill, I should have been getting pulling three fucking checks.
They just kept giving me fucking quarters.
And I was like, oh, wow.
I do this for another six months.
I can buy a symbol.
Maybe even a Zildjian.
So I got to know the Metallica dude, Jason, right?
And his brother played guitar and they hung out.
All of them were like fucking full on metalheads, long hair,
the whole fucking thing, ripped jeans, the whole eighties look.
And I went over his house one day hanging out and a bunch of them were over
there playing guitar.
And they could really, these kids could really fucking play in one of them.
Remember, he had the bleach blonde hair and he sat down and played the beginning
of Main Street and it just fucking blew my mind.
Like, how did you figure that out?
That's all I was thinking.
I didn't want to say anything.
So like most people, this is before I even started playing drums.
So like most people, so I guess I wouldn't have been thinking that I would buy a symbol.
I don't know what I was thinking.
But whatever.
But about a year later, because watching them and then I came back to Boston
areas that are working in a warehouse and I was playing, I was working with all
these musicians and shit.
I got into playing drums.
That's how it all started.
So, and then that began my first listening of Van Halen, then listening to Alex.
Like the first 9,000 passes through, I was just listening to Eddie and wishing,
you know, fantasizing that I was Eddie, you know, the shit, like I was playing
this in front of my fifth grade class, you know, the dumb shit you do, right?
And then I started playing drums and that's when it's so crazy.
I went back and re-listened to all of these albums and I discovered the genius
of guys like everyone from Phil Rudd all the way, you know, to Alex Van Halen.
And what Alex plays on that, if you put it on, that offbeat thing that he's doing
on the bass drum and how he just does it.
He, and like he crash, I think-
I think-
I think he crashes on the end.
And then it's just-
It's boom.
The whole fucking song
until he goes
and until he does a little Phil
and then this is home
and then he's on one and that's boom boom boom don't go don't
don't don't go
don't go.
I don't know how the fuck he does that.
And stays on time
and then also makes it groove as hard as it does like those two guys
But the passing of Eddie the fact that those two,
like their body of work just the two of them forget about Michael Anthony
in there, David Lee Sammy and everybody who's been in that band it's just
Yeah, it's an absolute end of a true giant
and just looking at it like the people that just a wide variety of people
everybody from comedians, all genres of music, country, everything
and you know those country players like I swear to God
some of those guys like way back in the day when I used to watch like Roy Clark
there's no fucking way a guy like Eddie looks at Roy Clark and doesn't see like that
those guys you know bluegrass guys those guys could still can't shred
so there's I that's so cool to me that there's that mutual respect
and then one of my favorite other favorite guitarists of all time Jeff Beck
I read a quote now this is the internet so you don't know
the internet is not the library
the library actually puts shit in fiction and nonfiction
right the internet everything is put in nonfiction
so allegedly I read this quote that's just some random person put up that Jeff Beck
allegedly said I want to thank Eddie Van Halen for reinventing the guitar
which is you know as high a compliment as you can I think just as far as the
musicianship of Jeff Beck
so just as a fan and a hack drum I just like to thank Eddie for all of that
unbelievable beautiful face melting music that he put out for so long
and was literally like this it got me through so just so much shit
it just always puts you in a good mood as you were growing up no matter what you were going through those bands
you know you got your bands and that was that was one of mine so
rest in peace man that's a you're not going to see another guy like that I mean
there'll be another great one but the greats are always unique so
rest in peace Eddie Van Halen
alright so with that all freckles I got to go to work here
I don't have my arbitrage yet
I've been having a great time in New York here working out these sets
I actually feel like I'm getting stronger as a comic
I was talking to a couple of young bucks last night
comedians and buckets whatever you call
and I was just saying like at first I was really frustrated
trying to work out my stuff for this gig
that I was doing it in front of eight people on a rooftop or out on a sidewalk and blah blah blah
and then it's actually it's taking me back to the earliest parts of my career where
I would be psyched to have a gig and I would do gigs like that for free
and it's so funny it's like the gigs you get when you first start as a comedian
you you almost need to be a master to actually make it work
because the situations you're put in are so impossible
it's like from day one you are thrown into places where you need seven to eight years experience
just to emotionally handle the humiliation that you're about ready to put yourself through
and but what happens is with each one of them
you know with that graduation class of open micers that you come up with
you guys lean on each other and you start telling stories about bombing
how embarrassed you were and how dry your mouth got
and those are the things that keeps you going
and then I guess that point where you start to get in better gigs and you know how to write jokes
and then now that you have jokes you got some ammunition
you go in there and you learn how to get these people to listen
you learn how to not get affected by a trickle of laughter
and to try to turn that trickle into a little stream
and then try to build it and build it and build it
and then you get those skills
and then you get your experience and you combine the two
and that's when you start getting good
then what happens is when you get to a certain level
and you start selling tickets
it goes from going on stage and having to get the crowd
to now the only thing you have to worry about is losing them
because they came, they paid to see you, they want to see you
they're on your side as you're walking to the stage
so during that period I've always felt that you get a little bit weaker
because it's easier in that you already have them
but there's also a new pressure where they have expectations
so there's always something new that you have to kind of push through
but anyway, this pandemic has now brought me back to those types of gigs
and when I tell you I was fucking eating my balls here
Thursday, Friday, Saturday this week, end of Sunday
and I was just in full panic attack like, oh my god, he's fucking New York crowd
I was actually blaming the crowds in New York
that's a classic thing to do as a comedian if you don't want to get better
it's their fault, it's not me, everything I'm doing is perfect
I just had to remember to have fun
and just not let that little trickle bug me
so all of a sudden then Sunday night I went up and I actually just had fun
and all of a sudden the whole thing just clicked
and started killing with it so I was very excited about that
and I don't know, that's just basically what I've been doing
I'm trying to get this fucking thing together here for this gig
so that is it, looking forward to maybe if I get a chance
if I'm not too busy watching Thursday night football
this is the first rematch of Tom Brady and Nick Foles
both on new teams, Tom Brady of course on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
and Nick Foles is on the Bears via the Jacksonville Jaguars
and you know people are actually giving this guy shit
like what do you have to do and how often do you have to do it before people respect you
I mean people are like good three weeks
oh what you mean when the fucking Super Bowl
did you ever have three weeks like that, there fuck oh
alright that's it
that's it, rest in peace Eddie Van Halen
that's it, that's all I got to say man

you just don't look like you're yourself right now
you're scaring me
here go in the bedroom
no just go in the bedroom
just lay down
drink plenty of fluids
I don't know if you guys
I like me but I fucking hate that shit
when you get sick
and then somebody tells you just got to shut it down
and then you just have to go in there and fucking lay there
bored out of your fucking mind
it's like why can't I be sick doing shit
I have to lay here or just be like
I'm fucking sick
while you come in here bringing me cups of tea
see that's your problem
I just want to help you and you won't let me do it
as you can tell echo
I'm back in New York in my apartment
apartment
and if elected
there will be no more common cold
as long as you have the money to pay
for the cure
if you are below the line
go fuck yourself
you didn't buy a $5,000 plate
to donate to my campaign
I'm fucking spent
I feel like shit
I thought I was going to cough again
then those coughs would be like the backup dancer
to what the fuck I was saying
I finally get sick man
I'm fucking in the middle of a seven week tour
of five weeks in
the shit finally hit the fan
when I was out there in Cincinnati
I don't know what happened
you know what it was
it's just global warming
it's fucking with me
it's just everybody
it's summertime
not even well and you know what I'm saying
and then bam it just becomes like deep
in the fall
so I fucking show up in Cincinnati
after looking at the forecast
I show up out there with like a windbreaker
and just the first night
I got this fucking
I have no jacket on
I'm tired from my fucking ninth flight
of the fucking month
and
it was raining out
and then that was it
what else Bill what else dumb thing did you do
did you take any vitamin C
I don't even know if that works
what did you take what did you do
nothing I didn't take anything
I shook hands and then fucking rubbed my nose
with the hand I shook everybody's hand with
and then that was it I was fucking sick
fucking sick
so I get to New York City
no that's not even what I do so fucking
Verzi dude I called it
Verzi fucking tells me to get that
that airborne
you know take the shit that everybody else
is taking you know
throw the exact same punch
that this fucking virus has seen
over the last fucking you know
whatever five years
you think you can't see that coming at this point
oh the old airborne
the old triple lindy
23 skidoo fucking slips that
and then punches me right in the face
go fuck yourself you're sick for three days
so that's the deal
alright
so
so what do I do
I get here to New York this this podcast is going to suck
by the way so I warned you
four minutes and 11 seconds in alright
so it's your fault if you don't fucking tap out
you're probably going to keep listening
aren't you you sadistic sons of bitches
so I go out
and I'm like alright
I want to sleep
I want to sleep tonight and just fucking try
to get ahead of this goddamn thing so I go to
the goddamn what is it
the CVS the Dwayne
read whatever the fuck it is
right aid
I don't know what part of the country I mean
well I know a part of the country but I forget what they have
so anyways
I fucking go in there
and I'm looking for the Alka Seltzer cold
and fucking flu bullshit
right
and I just start reading this stuff on the back
and it basically says if you take this four times
in one day you're going to do major
irreparable damage to your liver
you understand how fucked up that is
okay
four times it just takes four doses
of this shit and I'll do major irreparable
damage to my liver
why the fuck would I even take it
once
you know what I mean that's like having a gun
instead of holding it to your head you
shoot your foot why the fuck would you do that
so I was like fuck that
fuck that Alka Seltzer
I'm going to tough it out
and then I push it up and I got some fucking Nyquil
but even then I read this one and this one
it's some fucking long ass word
it begins with an A and it has like 17
consonants in a row
like a fucking
Russian hockey players last name
czy
this is the first fucking three letters
of their weird ass names
and it all says that it does
fucking liver damage so I'm sitting here
old school toughin' this out
like a fucking quaker
you know they do that shit
out there in Pennsylvania that kid gets
an appendicitis and they're like well why would
we just go to the fucking witch doctors
when they know how to fucking handle it
we'll just sit here and go
ooooh leego boogity boogity boogity
and fucking hold our hands over rubbing our hands together
you know like you're in karate kid
and then the kid fucking dies
that's what I'm saying I'm trying to be the first
adult who dies of the common cold
and it'll be my silent
protest to the fucking
whatever ah Jesus hang on
oh left handed from across the room
right in the fucking bucket
so anyways
this is the podcast for this week I got a huge
I got a huge week
bunch of promo stuff
my special came out last week
for download
five dollars a whack and
pretty much there was
I would say 99% success rate
with people downloading it
I want to thank everybody that's been
downloading it please tell your friends to continue
it's a nice steady stream
it was like
one percent of people had difficulties
their computers or the thing who knows
what and they were all very nice
there was only a couple
county emails where I had to get up and walk around
here's one if you had a problem
and you want customer service
it's probably not good to start your email
off with seriously
seriously
like I give you five
dollars and then like I seriously
ah what a fucking
cunt I had somebody else go right
I love how like nobody ever thinks hey maybe
it's me maybe it's my computer
like what I'm telling you 99%
of the people are getting a special without a
fucking glitch
okay and I have empathy for people
who go to download something that doesn't
work out that happens to me every time
alright but I know
that I suck at all things
computers
okay but I had a computer
whiz set this motherfucker up okay so
this one guy hits me with like
he was just so convinced that no
one was going to respond to him
that he just went fucking all
in and evidently he came up
with this theory that I was basically
not giving anybody the special
and I was using it
five dollars each to just buy a new
roof that's what I was going to do I was
going to fuck everybody over
completely like
napalm the little fan base
that I have just you know for this
short run to get a new fucking roof
you know it'd be one
thing if I was sending out hard copies
this is just a fucking digital thing
you know I don't have to keep pressing a bunch of them
to get access to it when you download
you know
I don't know why the fuck would I do that
so I just wrote the dude back I was just like listen
just a glitch
you know we'll make sure you get the special
if you'd like a refund I'll you know
send me your address I'll send you a check
the fuck is wrong with you
it even is was funny
it was a dude wrote
seriously
seriously like I have to like
download this too to like watch
this seriously
ah
oh and then the other
cunt there was like three cunts this week
I don't like a couple thousand people
there was only three cunts
another one fucking wrote
tried said you know
this is the fourth time I fucking emailed
you which was a total goddamn lie
or they don't know how to send a
fucking email because I was like
you know
I don't know what the word is I was going to say religiously
or fucking whatever I was making sure because I
want to fuck anybody over
all I got is my balls in my word
and I know break up for nobody
so
I fucking searched the kids thing he told me he wrote
four times we nice to have some sort of human
response
blah blah blah blah
and then I just wrote back this is the first
email I've got from you I'll gladly
give you your money back what's your address
and I haven't heard back from him
seriously
go fuck yourselves
um
so anyways
what else do I got oh I didn't announce this
last week because I'm a moron I'm in the middle
of this this tour I'm going to be
I started a podcast network
um
and with Al Madrigal
from minivan men
and a number of other people
who don't have podcasts
so you won't know who the hell they are but
it's called allthingscomedy.com
you should check it out
we got a bunch of we got I don't know
we got like eight to ten cool podcasts on there
and um
you know it's kind of
how do I explain
you know what it's just sort of it's one for
podcasters if that makes fucking
sense what's happening is these podcasts
are doing really well and now the business
man's coming in and he's just
rounding them all up and then hey come on
to my network okay here's the deal
they have fucking Johnny Bravo
I'll own your podcast you suck
a dick and do your show every week and in
the end I'll make the millions and you can go fuck
yourself it's the typical behind
the music contract to me
and uh Mr. Madrigal
like well why don't we just create a co-op
everybody comes in
we band together and the strength of numbers
everybody owns their podcast no funny
shit you know
whatever listeners you bring in that's how much
money you make
alright no funny business
no hidden hand no rabbit in the
hat none of that bullshit
okay
we're out of our fucking minds
we created a completely
fair business model
for all parties involved
it's called all things comedy so if you guys
would like to check it out um
of course I don't
have any internet so I can't I'm trying to remember we got
uh we got

come on Bill Harlan's highway
Harlan Williams it's great go check it out
go check it out uh mini van men
the Monday morning podcast
it's an eclectic mix of podcasts
and everybody still
owns their podcast nobody's getting fucked over
that's a crazy thing
that's not even just show business just business
in general
what I find is whenever I get in business
with somebody
it's always like okay we're getting
in business together
all the receipts and money will go to
me and then I'll tell you
how much we made
that's what they always say to me
alright let's do this because this is gonna be a great
collaboration okay you just sit over
there and don't you worry all monies
will come into me and I'll tell you how much we
made go fuck yourself
every time that's what it's like to play
a comedy club
you know I don't have many people sit in the fucking room
I have somebody standing back there
with a clicker
I don't have time for that shit
I just do a guarantee pay me this
and I will dance like a monkey all weekend
alright that's it and then you can do
whatever boss hog shit you want to do
sticking fucking extra chairs in
having a VIP section
or whatever the fuck else you want to do
oh Bill's in a cunty mood
did you guys watch any of the NFL football
yesterday
um
I've been missing out on a lot of football because
I've been on the road and I've been actually going to games
I went to uh
I went to the Bengals game
or the Bengals
as Paul Verzi calls it like he
says the same thing as the girl group
the Bengals
I went there and what a great fucking stadium
that is underrated
the Cincinnati Bengals stadium
I don't even think I got the name of it
it's probably because I was drinking Jameson
on a fucking river boat
at 10 in the morning it's probably why
um
fucking came walking up and I said
security guy where's the will call
he's like oh
you're really far away from that
and I go great
well which direction is it in you fucking
idiot
um other than that it was a great experience
uh really
really great stadium really intimate
like uh crowds on top
of it and um
for some reason this
Bengals fan in front of me convinced me
to start heckling the Dolphins kicker
who has a highlighted mullet
a mullet with highlights
in it I guess is a better way to describe it
and uh there was a kid behind me
so I never cursed and I was just
I was just sitting there shredding my voice
for nothing I didn't have any money on the game
I don't give a
I didn't want to see the Dolphins win just because
Patriots are in the AFC
but um
so this is kind of a
fucked up subject
um what's the deal
with pink every fucking year
is this like forever now
every October
for an entire month
everybody in the NFL is gonna
dress up like Barbie fun time
summer dance fucking
uh Winnebago
thing I don't know what the
pinkie tuscadero or what the
what I mean
this is the thing this is it's over
this this is something
that you cannot fucking reverse
if you're gonna wear pink
for four weeks
alright to to raise awareness
for breast cancer
there's no way somebody can come and be like hey how about
just three weeks
you know you can't because it's gonna be like
you don't care about people suffering
from breast cancer
you know
I this is there's no
fucking way to criticize this
without coming off like a cold hearted
son of a bitch but that's not gonna stop
me from trying am I the only one
who finds it like just a little intrusive
that it's that long
that it's just it's
it's a month
out of a four month season
and it's not like they just
have a little bow there
they're just fucking decked out in the
shit it's
like who
got caught fucking who
and this is what they had to do to make up for
or is this just like a business move by the
NFL where they're sitting there going like alright
we can get a lot of
ladies watching
if we show that we care
about you know this as much as we do
you know
so this is my solution
or my suggestion can we at least
tone it down
can we just start with the pink
half whistle
does he really have to stick that thing in his
mouth and go tweet tweet
um
I don't do it
you know what it is it's all part of this
fucking slow slide
away from everything
that made this country great
nerds and ladies
are fucking
I'm not saying they're running shit
but they're definitely doing the decorating
you know what I mean
there in the driver's seat
they're dictating what the fuck we're watching
oh I'm fucking going full on
conspiracy theory here I just
you know
the guys guy is
is dead
dead in the water if there's gonna be a guys
guy on tv
he has to be mocked
you know what I mean it has to be done
in like that office kind of way will you just
fucking you know he's confident
but it's he's
praying an underlying insecurity
now maybe he's just confident
maybe he was just one of those guys
who got laid in the fifth grade
because he just had the fucking gift
the same way Jordan had the gift
to play hoop you know
maybe he's just that guy
maybe he's
that guy that all the ladies want
to bang
they want to touch his fucking
fang
but they don't want to touch yours
right and then what
so then you write the fucking script
and then you make him out to be a douche
you know what I for one don't buy into it
how about
you wear it one week who isn't aware
of fucking
breast cancer at this point
who isn't aware of it
anybody
you know what I think the NFL because they're such good
businessmen I think what they're doing is
they're actually you know not enough women
are buying jerseys so they just
are modeling pink ones for the entire month
acting like they give a shit about
finding a cure to this disease
so that women will go out oh my god
I like the pink powder puff
Dallas Cowboy Tony Robo one
oh I have
a pair of socks that would go with it
so nicely
you know it's fucking football man
is it like
illegal to be a guy now
can you just it's like it's just mocked
if you want something to be fucking
hardcore guy like
full-on fucking testosterone
like for some reason it's just
it's just it's considered
I would say
borderline offensive
can you picture Ken Stabler wearing pink
the steel curtain
wearing pink the doomsday defense
the purple people leaders
the fucking orange crush
the over hill gang
how many defenses do I gotta bring up wearing pink
they wouldn't have wore pink
they would have said we're not wearing that sweetheart
they would have slapped you on your Mary Tyler
more ass and sent you out of the locker
room as they dropped their towels
that was the NFL I grew up
with I don't recognize this NFL
alright
if anybody running you should
just give them those socks that have that little ball
on the back of the ankle
you know
why don't we have where and we
haven't wear dresses all through November for like
you know a sweatshop labor
awareness
you know it would be fucking hilarious
not really in an ironic
sense is if those
pink breast cancer
awareness jerseys
and all that shit at some point
along the manufacturing thing
are sewn together by some
child at four in the morning in like the Philippines
you know what I mean
oh the level
of irony in that wouldn't that be hilarious
well I think it would be
alright I'm kind of
handicapped this week here because
I
can't find

so here we are
20 minutes in
I'm dying of the
of a fucking common cold
hey do you know I was on a plane
yes well what else what else is known
I was on a fucking plane
and somebody brought two pit bulls on the plane
on like in like
just both the dogs were unleashes
I didn't know you could do that shit
the guy got on first
and uh
he just walked these two fucking
beautiful dogs on and I was
praying to god he was sitting next to me
that's how much I'm sold on that breed
as much as everybody
everybody was making that fucking pit bull jokes
it's really like dog racism
you know what I mean
grab your purse
there's a pit bull
but I'm not going to lie to you
they are scary looking dogs
they really are they do they
they can be until you get one
and then when you see once you have a
fucking pit bull every time you see one
all you want to do is just go up and pet
the dog and squeeze its fucking thighs
those fucking full back thighs
of this shit
um so anyways
so I went to the bang
the bangles game with paul versey
that was uh
franchise number 30 I got two more to see
the saints in tampa bay
I'm going to see a saints game
in november
and then I guess I'll knock out tampa bay next year
and then what do I do
I've been to every fucking football stadium
every baseball stadium
I'm going to have to start going to college
and then what
Jesus then I go to all the big college ones
and then when I wipe those out
at that point I'll probably be in my 70s
and then I'll just be some creepy comedian
hanging out at high school football games
oh god
do you think you're even going to make it that far
you ever think of whether that shit
are you even going to make it that far
the fact that it's like 80 degrees
right up until like october 5th
it has to do with human beings
I have no fucking idea
you know from what I've heard there's been periods of cooling
and warming up all throughout history
but all I know
is that the shit
the shit be changing
and that there's too many fucking people
I don't know see this is the thing man this is why
I don't know
I should have got marionette kids I gotta
I gotta fucking lock this shit down I gotta get marionette kids
that's the deal
I should be just sitting there focusing on
what kind of stuff is in these fruit loops
should we be like feeding them
this stuff
you know meanwhile there's some fucking black fans
sitting out front I don't even notice it
that's exactly what they want that's what they want
you know what that's the podcast for this week
I'm not fucking
I can't do this shit
I don't even fucking internet
I can't fucking breathe
who's a whiny cunt this week
hang on I gotta hit pause hold on
I gotta fucking blow my nose
alright I'm back
okay here we go
this is fucking worst
what the fuck did I just take the goddamn vitamins
instead of being an asshole
hey you know we actually have a follow up
we actually have a follow up thing here
for the that dude remember that dude a few weeks ago
who had that chick start to rumor that he was into the weird porn
even though
it was she who was into the weird shit
remember that
for those of you who didn't listen
a few weeks back this guy
he's hooking up with this lady
and she says hey why don't you come over we can watch some porno
so he's all excited
you know
and he decides to let her pick the porno
which is a very smart move
he knows if you pick something too weird you could fuck the whole evening up
so let her pick her like
romance porno
you know that shot with like soft
lighting you know that awful porn that some women watch
so that's what he's expecting
and she put on some sort of
cartoon
where this chick was getting like fucking
you know raped by a
cyclops or something I don't know I can't remember what the fuck it was
so he flipped out broke up with her
and what does this girl do
rather than going and get some therapy
or just
being okay with the freak that she is
she goes around the school
and starts telling everybody that it was
he who did that
fucking with his reputation so
he said what should I do
and I said this is what you do
I said you fucking bring her over
you act like you're getting back together with her
and you just sort of record in the background
and ask her why
she told everybody that
that he was the one that
picked out the porn when in fact it was actually her
and then you got it and then you don't get
back together with her and you say listen
Pope of Greenwich Village right I got a fucking tape
tape that I took off a fucking dead cop
you pull that bullshit
well he did his version of it alright and here's
what he did
okay Bill thanks for your advice I took
I took your advice up a level
oh I took your advice up a level
I pretended to get back together with her
and was able to convince her
I had an open mind
we made it back to her place and I convinced
her to go back on the computer
and get another cartoon porno
now this is how you know that this girl
is fucking nuts
is the fact that she absolutely
destroyed this guy's reputation
and then when he goes
no no I get it now can we just get back together
and she's just like yeah let's just get
back together there's no oh my god
I can't believe what I did
I've ruined you
you know why would you even want to get
back together with me after what I did to you
there's none of that she's just like
okay things are back to normal
psycho
um
so anyways I convinced her
her to go back on the computer and get
another cartoon porno I was standing behind
her and took a picture of her on the
on her computer
I had to sit through the video
and got a blow job
I
then went home and printed off
the picture and posted it
in her classroom
I was then god Jesus
dude I was then called into the principal
principal's office he was
a dude and was very sympathetic
the only reason
I was called in was because
an old lady teacher reported
me the principal just shrugged
and claimed I was being bullied
and was just trying to clear my name
I acted like I was the victim and he ate it
up I was about to turn
him on to your podcast
but realized it would make it pre-meditated
bullying
she is never going to live it down but all the girls
think I'm an asshole
and guys think I'm a hero so worth it
thanks for your help well congratulations
well what a fuck did the girls
think you're an asshole
you know
I guess because they insert themselves
into the situation where they
would have been a picture of them watching a porno
but they you know they wouldn't
have done what she did
you know that
I'll never understand bunch of comedians have done bits
about that how women fucking can't get along
with each other but when it comes between
you know a woman and a guy
they will support women blindly
she made this guy's life a living hell
Jesus dude and you got a fucking
blowjob out of it oh Jesus
he took it up a notch everybody
all right Bill modern football
oh this is because I went off
on rugby
in football last year
hey Bill Boston I mean last week
hey Bill Boston's involved in the creation
of modern American football
be proud
all right so he sits there
and he gives me the Wikipedia link here
which I'm hoping will open
maybe in the next fucking nine minutes
history of American football
can be traced to early versions
of rugby football and associations
football well there you go
so then why do all those soccer cunts go like
give us shit like that that was
well I guess because they
just make sense that soccer is football
it's a ball and you can only use your feet
unless you're the goalie
both games have their origin in
how dumb are we why don't we just call it
rugby
now that would make more sense if our version
of rugby
was bigger guys hitting each
other harder you know
anyways both games have
their origin in the varieties of
football played I don't give a fuck
this is the most boring shit ever
hey when somebody sends me a wikipedia
link like they did this fucking that
they went to the bowels of a library
and found some you know
ed rugby versus
NFL football 18
62 case you know what I mean
I don't fucking know
that was my call too
dilemma bill would you rather
fight one horse sized
duck or 100 duck
sized horses
well 100 duck sized horses
without a fucking doubt
oh I'd feel bad if I broke one of their legs
they're just little
little fucking
horses
I just tip them over
I just keep tipping them over
a fucking duck
the size of a horse you can get killed of course
fucking kicks you in the head you can die
alright they have those little feet the ducks
have those giant fucking web things
that would be like getting slapped
by the biggest
phone book in the history
of mankind right across the face
at the very least
you're going to get a vicious concussion fuck that
100 duck sized horses
I can't imagine how hard I would be
laughing as they chased me
you know
when I wait are they
faster than I am
or is it like one of those nightmares where
you're still faster than them but you can't shake them
for some reason I picture myself
fighting these horses in central park
maybe because I'm in New York
I would have that fucking you know
you know like when you were drunk
and you were getting chased by some fucking person
you know some adult
for whatever
fucking reason because you were having a party or some shit
or you were on their property
remember that feeling when you would start running
we could only kind of feel your forehead
and the top of your head and the rest of your body was numb
and you knew it was only a moment of time
before you did a fucking face plant
I think that's how I would feel if I was getting
chased by 100 duck sized horses
that's what I think everybody
that's my comedic take on that one
oh go this is the worst fucking podcast
ever
fuck
36 minutes in
how the fuck am I going to fill these
final fucking 24 minutes
two year breakup
Bill
this one's pretty fucked and convoluted
but I'm going to try to make it brave
met my lady in high school
almost five years ago
the breakup was around the two and a half year mark
despite being broken up we still had sex
went on dates and did a bunch of general
relationship shit
yeah you're two codependent people
you should have walked away
he goes a few months went by
before we made our relationship official again
a few weeks after that however
I found out she had been fucking some dude
during the hiatus
now don't put hiatus in quotes
because you broke up
you were on hiatus that was fair
um
yeah
she did it within the trade deadline
hahaha
I was 18
at the time it took it had
things got ugly between us for a long time
long story short we stay together
for a year break up again
fuck around while apart again
and get back together
a few months more goes by
before I find out she's been fucking another dude
during our second hiatus
Jesus dude
how many times are you going to go back for the same movie
did you go see police academy 7
because you wanted to see if the little
mousy girl was going to go
don't move dirtbag
for the 50th time did you clap
and laugh like a fucking train seal
come on man you're better than this
anyways as you can guess
things get really bad this time
though we haven't got back together officially
this is fucking retarded I know
he says
we still are in an exclusive
relationship there's
literally a mountain of other bullshit
that may be slightly
relevant but who gives a fuck
here's where you come in
I'm fucking sick of this shit
but I can't bring myself to tell
the girl to kick rocks
I guess that means leave
first love lost our virginity
to each other etc
and thoughts of her being with other people fucks me up
even though she already has been
I'm a huge pussy
and need some solid advice
on how to put this one to bed
thanks fuck yourself
alright
yeah dude what you need
to do is
alright
you know what's weird
before you have your first fucking girlfriend
before you've ever
been in a fucking relationship
you have this whole fucking life
you have your life
granted you're probably still living at home with your parents
you gotta deal with their shit
Brian dinner's ready
you gotta deal with that shit right
but generally speaking
you have your fucking life
you're playing street hockey
you're going out and drinking beers
you're fucking going to games
you're doing whatever the fuck you're doing
then all of a sudden you get your first girlfriend
and suddenly I find
how wonderful my life
and then all of a sudden your life just becomes about that
especially if you're codependent
and you're going to stop doing the other bullshit
and then all of a sudden
you fucking break up
and you can't even remember
what the fuck you did
before you met this person
you feel lost
you feel hopeless
you don't even think life is fucking worth living
all that is
obviously you're going to miss this person
you gotta build your life back up
you gotta
fucking
sit down and be like
what the fuck did I used to enjoy doing
before I met that fucking nightmare with the vagina
you know
what did I used to like to do
and just start doing that shit
alright
get out there be fucking social
and look it's gonna suck
for a good six weeks
after six weeks
there'll be enough time
to walk into it during that six weeks
alright
women have this unbelievable ability
to sense when you're starting
to get your shit together after a breakup
and they will call you
1-800-MINDFUCK
and they will stir your shit up
and they'll set you a week and a half behind
alright
don't fucking do that
alright you walk away
like De Niro in heat
that's what you gotta do on this one
walk away it's over
it's done go fuck yourself
it's it you don't have to say that stuff to it
just be like
I have to figure out who I am
again and then that's it
sniffle and walk away
and just accept the fact that it's gonna suck for a good six weeks
but every day is gonna get a little easier
alright at the end of fucking six weeks
you know
you'll be fine
you'll still miss her every once in a while
but don't go back to that shit it's fucking misery
alright you gotta man up
and this is a fucking lesson you really have to learn in life
or you're gonna end up staying
with this girl
or repeat this fucking process
with somebody else that you shouldn't be with
and one of these days you're gonna knock them up
and then your life's really gonna suck
alright so stop being a fucking pussy
there's plenty of broads
out there
that's it join a gym
go to a fucking game
go travel
something that doesn't involve her
something that you can fucking look forward to
alright and there you go
and that's it
I hope that helps you
alright alright last week
last week
I was laughing my ass off reading this thing
where this guy was trying to claim
um
that that sleep sex
shit
you know that basically he's asleep
and he just starts having sex
with his fucking
uh
girlfriend
and he's completely asleep
he's totally asleep
I just
evidently somebody says hey Bill this does exist
this does happen to me at least a dozen times a year
that's what somebody wrote in
um
listen to this one
Bill I feel compelled to write to you
this email after hearing the Monday morning podcast this morning
I know the guy's sleep sex story
sounds insane but I can tell you
that it's 100% a real thing
hear me out
this is so fucking nuts somebody else told me
that there was somebody
who fucking was asleep woke up
didn't wake up got up like a fucking zombie
got in the car
drove across town
murdered somebody and came back
and got off because they were asleep
okay
you can't drive a car
when you're fucking asleep
this is bullshit
I don't I don't give a fuck
if there's a scientific name for that
your eyes open then you're awake
well you're driving down the street with
would you fucking
eyes closed
you know
are these these people
like supernatural beings are they witches
what are they doing
why are they having sex
why don't they wake up and do like fucking
they start you know scrubbing the floor
why do they always go do something fun
like get laid or kill somebody
that's annoying them how come they never do anything
miserable oh my god I got fucking
you know I was
I've reshingled the roof
for my neighbor
yeah this is bullshit this is
fucking bullshit fuck all you guys
I'll read it I'll try to have an open mind
here's another guy
who suffers from getting laid
while he's sleeping in college
I was dating a girl who would do the same
thing I started spending the night
at her place which was closer to campus
than my dorm one
night I came back really
late after driving back to college from
home I walked in I heard loud
moaning like someone was having sex
thinking she was cheating on me a bus
into the room to beat the shit out of
whoever she was fucking
which is hilarious
why would you beat the shit out of that person unless they knew
you and knew that you were in a relationship
the guy's just doing what he's supposed to be doing
he's trying to get laid
you should go in there and fucking call the girl a whore
and then leave
misdirected anger anyways
he goes I walked in only to find her by herself
in bed naked from the waist down
fingering the hell out of herself
so I walked over thinking I could get in
on the action
and her eyes were closed
and she wouldn't respond to me
talking to her
dude what kind of fucking Blair witch
the exorcist this is fucking creepy
you walk in
her eyes are closed she's like a zombie
state finger blast in herself
and your first thought is hey maybe I can
get in on the action
that right there just shows the
weakness of a man
the fact that he can go from that level of rage
I'm gonna beat the fuck out of whoever's banging my girl
two seconds later like hey
maybe I can help you out with that Blair little lady
anyways once she finished she seemed to fall asleep
immediately thinking this was crazy
I woke her up and asked her what the fuck
was going on she admitted
that this happened sometimes not very often
but sometimes and she never told me
about it because it was embarrassing
I was like okay whatever
and never really thought about it again
really
you saw something that bizarre
we're like all right
okay you know
then you never thought about it again
that sounds like that would be like so
disturbing to see somebody in a
zombified state fingering themselves
I don't think I mean
just me picturing what that looks like
I don't know if I'll ever be able to forget it
anyway
now let me get to
fuck I'm gonna sneeze god damn it
hang on a second
alright I'm back I'm back here
I don't think I could ever get that
thought out of my head
I just kinda shook it off and continued on
he said now let's get to where
I say sleep sex is real
about three weeks later I was spending the night at her place again
and I woke up to her talking
in her sleep oh my god
dude
this is the creepiest she's speaking in tongues
666 on her fucking forearm
this sounds like one of those the uh
I don't know
what the name of the fucking movie is
anyways what the hell was I
three weeks later I woke up
she was talking in her sleep but talking
like she was having sex saying shit like
yeah fuck me
and stuff
but she was just talking not doing
anything else
so she's sitting up in bed
having a fucking conversation
her eyes fucking like rolling around
in her fucking head this is the creepiest
shit ever do you guys sleep in like a pyramid
is she like like
is she like fucking cursed
this sounds like some shit that would only happen
like in an Indiana Jones movie
um
so he goes
so I decided to wake her up and let her know
what she was doing I leaned over
and kind of shook her softly
you know saying hey wake up
wake up instead of waking up
she rolled toward me
the zombie
fuck me
fuck me
that's just the fucking exorcist
fuck you
um
oh my god I always forget that I'm in New York
can't imagine what my fucking
the fucking neighbors are thinking right now
instead of waking up she rolled toward me
and put her hands down my pants
and started jerking me off and kissing me
see this is where it goes out the window
this is where
it goes out
dude this is where it goes out the fucking window for me
if you're asleep
how do you know where
this is where everything is
oh I'm asleep and I'm walking out to the garage
not bumping into anything grabbing the keys
I gotta go kill the neighbor
give me a fucking break this is the dumbest
shit I've ever heard in my life this isn't real
so she rolls towards us jerking me
off kissing me and then still
in her sleep said are you going
to fuck me or what
and he goes well shit
how could I turn that down
how could you turn it down
because her fucking eyes are rolling
up in her head
dude isn't this like
a form of rape
if she's asleep
and you're banging her I mean it's just
what if you didn't know her
she walks up and fuck me
fuck me
fucking pajamas out in the lawn
pulled up in a car
this is the creepiest shit I've ever
read about in my five years
of doing this podcast this is the creepiest
shit ever this is Linda Blair
Linda Blair is a porn star
so she goes are you going to fuck me
or what and the guy goes well shit
how can I turn that down
I started to take my pants
off and her still sleeping
started stripping in the bed
see this all has like a I'm awake
kind of thing or possessed one or the other
he goes we started going
at it but the whole time her eyes
were still closed but it was like she was awake
grabbing on to me kissing me
moaning it was totally
crazy then the craziest thing
happened
so this girl was one
of those more reserved types
we never really had dirty sex
dude if you bang this girl in the ass
while she's fucking in this
zombified state
I don't know what to tell you
he goes we never really had dirty sex
or anything it was still really good
but nothing out of the ordinary except tonight
all of a sudden
while we're going at it
she flips over onto her knees
and says put it in my ass
oh my god dude
fuck you guys did you guys
all get together and just say let's fuck
with Bill and let's just write
the craziest fucking emails ever
this is some sort of website where you guys are doing this
this is not real
this isn't real
he goes what the fuck
I about fucking fell over
never had we even talked about it
or anything and all of a sudden she was doing
things she had never done
at least with me
without even seeming like it was new
she just acted like it happens all the fucking time
dude if you do this
why don't you wake her up and be like sweetheart
just to let you know that you're asleep right now
telling me to put my dick in your ass
you know are you comfortable with going back
to sleep and letting me do that
I'm just checking
alright
nighty night
anyways it was one of the craziest
nights of sex I ever had
dude you're a fucking creep
you're a fucking creep dude
you're a fucking creep okay if I was with somebody
or a zombie I would wake them up
alright
you had fucking anal sex with this girl
when she was like awake asleep
awake asleep
whatever the fuck the medical version
of this is fucking insane
uh
the next morning she woke up and didn't mention
a thing about it at all
all day
so I finally decided to bring it up
that's a good move
hey by the way last night when you were sleeping
but kind of were awake but were asleep
I put it in your ass
if you wondered why you felt a little
weird this morning yeah
cause I
oh jesus he goes I told her what
happened and at first she was
pretty pissed
yeah I would think so but then after
talking about it for a few minutes
she admitted that this had happened
a few times before
she's had sex in her sleep with someone
including her sister's boyfriend
wow
that's what he wrote and I would have said that anyways
dude so the boyfriend banged her while
she was sleeping her sister's boyfriend
this is like rape guys
this is fucking nuts
she's not in a place
where she can say no
she's dreaming about something else if this
shit even exists this is the creepiest fucking email ever
oh and it keeps going
she started crying
and saying she didn't know what to do
so I offered to go with her to a therapist
and at least approach the topic with the professional
well aren't you just a fucking great guy
after you banged her in the ass while
she was sleeping
the therapist said
she may have
sexomnia
that was the term she used
seriously look it up
or a sleep disorder where a person
actually has sex in their sleep
yeah go fuck your sexomnia
no
no fuck you I'm not
I'm not buying this
the therapist said
it's more common than people think
no it isn't
none of my friends to have this story
they would have told me
and that it's treatable only in some cases
she got on some medication
it seemed to help a little
but there were a few times when shit happened
in her sleep
all of those times
I did not bang her in her sleep
after that one time
it just didn't feel right since it was something
she had no control over
really
it took you
after that first time
so instead
I would wake her up
that's what you should have done the first time
Jesus Christ
anyways just wanted to send you this email
so you didn't think the sleep sex guy
was a total psycho
go fuck yourself
I downloaded your latest special
I love to catch you later
well thank you for downloading this special
as far as your
chivalrous acts
after you fucking went anal on that girl
I don't know about that man
wow
well there you go people
that was worth the price of admission huh
I still don't believe it
sexomnia
at the very least it's not common
I would have heard something about it
okay I'm down
like I'm acting like I'm a doctor right now
I am down
I am in the medical field
I'm up to my knees in it
I would have heard something I would have heard some sort of study but I don't buy it
I don't buy it okay
