all right hey what's going on everybody it's time for another wonderful episode of the bill
bert pod cast yo what's going on man good to see you as always man of many hats i i really respect
your hat game i have so many hats that i gotta get rid of some but here's the thing i'm a size
eight head so i have like i have a very unique size head.
It's the biggest head you can get.
So I have a hard time getting fitted hats.
So a lot of minor league teams send them to me.
And then, and then I, and then I get them sent.
I get sent so many fucking hats.
I have the greatest goddamn hats.
With a big head though, you, you're able to pull off the straight across.
Sometimes it doesn't work. With the big head, though, you're able to pull off the straight across. Sometimes it doesn't work.
Yeah.
With the big head, you've got to kind of round it.
Size 8.
You know what's so funny? I go into a hat store...
It's a subtle, huge head.
Oh, yeah. Every time I go into a hat store,
I go, hey, it's the same
every time. It's so frustrating
to me. I go, what hats
do you have in a size 8? And they go, everything. And I go, everything? And they go, yeah, name it. And I know they don't. I already know they don't. And I go, cool, I'll take that one. And then they go, and they go, okay, we don't have that in size eight. I go, how about that one? And they go, yeah, we don't got that either. And then I go, how about this? Can we start all over? Do me a favor, check to see what you have in a size eight in the computer and then they go yeah yeah yeah yeah and then whatever city i'm in it's their team's hat that's
all they have that's all they ever have so so what would happen this is by the way i have a i have a
a lot to unpack here bill what would happen is you could always get a boston red socks size eight
a new york yankees size 8,
a Dodgers size 8. Top sellers.
The top sellers.
Top sellers were always a size 8.
The problem is, for the longest time, I had Red Sox Yankees hats.
And in L.A., and you know this, if you're walking around with a Red Sox hat
and someone grew up in Boston and they see you, first thing they say,
hey, man, you see the game last night?
Yeah.
And I'm always like, I'm not from Boston not from Boston they're like you got the hat on I was like yeah
I don't I have a big head and they're like what huh and I was like I never mind so I had to stop
wearing information too much information it was it was a conversation starter so then I started
getting when I go to these towns I'd find a like a minor league team
and then you know the you you were saying the earlier the more the more you start working the
more people give you free shit and i'd go to cities and there would be a hat in the green room
size eight happy to have you in our city this is i think this is the river dogs right here
that's a really cool hat it's a great hat hat. I love the colors. It's like the San
Diego Chargers.
It's got a ball for a mouth there.
I didn't notice that. A little halo.
Is that maybe the
Angels minor league team with the halo?
I think this is the Charlotte
Riverdogs. I'm almost
certain.
Minor league teams have great names.
Riverdogs.
What the hell is a River Dog?
I don't know.
I'm almost –
I got to look that up.
River Dog.
Is that like some crazy otter that can eat a bear or something?
River Dog.
I think it's the minor league team.
What is a river dog?
A river dog is a canine command.
It's just a dog of adventure for the...
Carlston.
Or fame.
It's like a duck hunting dog.
I was hoping it was one of those fucking otters, man.
I've been watching all this stuff on otters lately.
And the stuff that they lately and the stuff that
they fight and the things that people are afraid of like alligators don't fuck with otters for real
i think that's what they were so this is a charleston river dogs hat this is the dia de
muerta hat and so these minor league teams do these great light blue Peros Santos, the Peros Santos hat.
Okay.
So these minor league teams do these great hats where like there's a great team in San Antonio,
and they had the Choclas hat.
And the whole theory was, and by the way,
I apologize if I'm ruining this and it's sounding racist,
but Mexican moms used to beat their kid with flip-flops, right?
So if you ever had a flip, like if your mom ever took her flip-flop,
and by the way, I really apologize if I'm getting this wrong.
They'd beat you with a flip-flop.
So they had a celebration for Mexican moms. So they had a flip-flop so they had a celebration for Mexican moms so they had a
flip-flop on the hat and it was the chaklas and it was like it was like just a cool way to like
and I'm certain I ruined that story but dude if that's a true story if that's done the right way
it's funny but you know nowadays you couldn't do that because someone would be offended i'm actually jealous that that's all you got hit with that seems like you know this got a little
cushion on it i'm sure it would sting but it's not like uh not like a paddle or a wooden spoon
or a brush uh otters can uh this national geographic, how a river otter can bag an alligator for lunch.
And it says that what other big animals do they eat?
They're smart, agile, and strong predators.
They do eat a lot of amphibians and fish,
but they'll also take out sizable beavers, raccoons,
plus snapping turtles, snakes, and small gators.
Of course, gators can also eat otters, so it goes both ways.
Yeah, but when the otters are all together, they got their crew like the alligator swims away.
He doesn't want to deal with it.
They're like piranhas.
They're like cute piranhas.
They just start eating.
Their mouth isn't big enough to choke you out.
Oh, man, one of the worst things I ever saw because i love turtles okay here you go guys right now do not watch
on an otter killing a turtle it's one of the saddest things i've ever seen
question once again a higher power that what in the maybe you should have spent two weeks
creating the universe instead of making us all in our fucking throats okay you ready bill serial killers to fucking otters that are eating
turtles alive they flip it over i'll just tell you they flip it over on its back and just start
eating one of its legs and the thing sitting there can't do anything oh that would have fucking
i was just like can you just bite it in the brain that's why i don't fucking eat lobster dude i
don't fuck with lobster there's no fucking reason in 2021 that the only way to prepare those things
is to boil them alive yeah they don't feel it they don't speak english bert what are you what are they
measuring and how many times do they say something then they go oh new evidence shows that christopher
columbus actually landed in cuba and he was fucking chopping people's arms off because they
weren't fighting gold molars in the fucking river right they discovered that somehow in 85
90 or some shit it's just like
where would you find that on a fucking napkin scribbled somewhere so they're gonna do the same
thing with these fucking lobsters they're gonna figure out the whole time they were screaming at
a frequency that only your fucking rescue dog could hear so i don't understand you know you
have those little things to break open their shell
they should put one of the extensions like a swiss army knight just have it be like a little mallet
and right before you put it in the water you just knock the thing out yeah how fresh does
it have to be it just died, in the water.
Although those hunters, they always say, like, you know,
if the animal experiences trauma, it affects the way the meat tastes, right?
Yep.
They release some sort of thing throughout the meat.
Stress juices.
All right, you ready?
The San Antonio missions changed their names to the Flying Chanclas. that is a flying sandal for those who don't speak spanish and it's a marvelous name it says here a chancla is a sandal but in the
hands of your mother or your abuela it became a heat-seeking missile that would was the bane of
your existence as a child if you did something bad as a kid, their instinctive reaction would be to
warn you that a chancla
that they were wearing was going to be taken off
and flicked at you from across the room.
It was a great hat.
But then when I
explained it, everyone's like, wait, Mexicans beat their
children on flip-flops? And you're like, ah, it's more than
that. Never mind.
Yeah, Eddie Murphy used to do a bit about that.
About his mother taking off a shoe like
a boomerang yeah yeah mothers used to beat their fucking when i was a kid yeah mothers beat their
kids my mother used to just line us all up and you'd just be standing there waiting my dad saved
the paddle from his fraternity i used to hide that fucking thing move and she'd miss and hit
your lower back back of your legs,
and you'd reach back and get hit in the knuckles.
It was the fucking worst.
It was the fucking worst.
Do your parents, have you ever talked to them about being spanked?
No, because I deserved like 99% of them.
There was only one time my brother said that I kicked my other brother in the face,
which was against the rules.
If you hit from here down, it was considered working it out amongst yourselves.
I used to do a bit about this.
I kicked him in the chest.
My brother said I kicked him in the face.
My mother was getting ready for work, and she had one of those big 70s
brushes like the mirror mirror on the wall ones yeah and she won and i ducked and she caught me
right in the middle of my shoulder blades and it was plastic so the thing burst i went down
and then like this is how frugal people were back. I mean, we were living in a fucking duplex. So she just kept the brush part.
You know, like a black guys try to get waves.
You know, that little thing that they were.
That's what she just brushing her hair like that.
I mean, I'm doing what I'm telling you, like eight years.
And for eight years, we got to laugh at that.
Anytime I'd come in.
You know, she was brushing her hair.
Be like, hey, that's a nice brush you got there.
And she was just laughing. And it was the way it was's a nice brush you got there. And she would just laugh.
And it was the way it was because she smashed, tried to hit me over the head with it.
So I don't know.
We've never hit our kids.
I take that back.
I take that back.
Leanne spanked Isla one time.
One time.
She was jumping on the, I mean, this is like, this kid deserved it.
I wasn't there but i
had a theory and my theory was that leanne did it because her family was around and her family was a
bunch of you know her families was was the hitting type they still spank they still spank where they
live yes so my wife's family is the hitting type. I like that. Yeah.
So Isla was jumping on the couch at the lake house in her bathing suit, and one of Leanne's aunts was like,
you need to get that kid to stop.
There ain't no jumping in no wet bathing suit on that couch.
Leanne's like, Isla, Isla, Isla,
don't you disrespect that furniture like that? And Isla looked at her and goes, get off that couch. And then they grabbed Isla Isla don't you disrespect that furniture like that
and Isla looked at her
she goes get off that couch
and then they
grabbed Isla
they took her down
and they said
look at that couch
you don't disrespect that
couch
while I was jumping
in a wet bathing suit
and Isla looked at
all the ants
and Leanne
turned around
and spit on it
oh my god they fucking spanked her Leanne turned around and spit on it. Oh, my God.
They fucking spanked her.
Yeah.
I was on the road, and Isla called.
We got on the phone, and Isla whispers, I got spanked.
And I went, what?
And I lost my shit.
Because I've never hit our kids.
Right.
Leanne's like, dude, there there you go there's one for hitting
your kids you don't hit your kids they end up spitting on the couch in front of company
spit my one of my favorite one of my favorites that sounded like like wwe like the
beginning of some bit to set up a championship fight let me tell you something brother would brother, would you spin on my couch come this Friday? We were kids,
there was this kid, Louis Fagan.
So I grew up with the Fagans, right?
Patrick and Louis Fagan, Patrick and Louis Fagan.
F-E-A-G-A-N.
Okay.
Irish, hardcore Irish.
Slur into a verb. No, okay. Irish. Hardcore Irish. You're trying to slur into a verb.
No, Fagan.
They were Fagan.
What are you doing tonight?
I'm Fagan.
Oh, Bill.
If you had grown up with us, we would have used that immediately.
I didn't even think of that.
I already immediately felt bad for him.
I go, well, that went his childhood.
They're like literally how far he dropped down in the draft
of when he picked for a prom date.
With that last name.
Poor bastard.
It's just not fair.
Patrick's at school.
Louie's younger.
And they have a microphone on the stage.
And Patrick's mom's helping out at school.
And so Louie, younger, not in school yet,
grabs the microphone and starts singing in the microphone.
And one of the nuns comes up and grabs the microphone,
puts it in the thing, smacks him on the hand,
says, don't you touch that microphone.
So Louie goes up, grabs the microphone again.
The nun goes away, grabs the microphone again,
starts singing.
Now the whole school's watching, right? Whole cafeteria kids are watching. Nun grabs the microphone again. The nun goes away, grabs the microphone again, starts singing. Now the whole school's watching, right?
Whole cafeteria kids are watching.
Nun grabs the microphone, puts it on the floor,
doesn't put it back in the thing, lays it on the floor,
and says, there will be hell to pay, Mr. Fagan,
if I come back and you touch this microphone one more time.
He's setting him up for a kick to the chops.
Nun walks away
louis fagan waits gets on the stage marine crawls over the microphone lays his head next to it goes
sister
what did she do oh lost her lost her fucking shit. I laughed.
Bill, that story happened 40 years ago, and I still remember it.
I guarantee if his last name was Johnson, he wouldn't feel the need.
He had to do that.
He needed a rep.
He had to be the crazy guy.
Oh, Marine crawls over.
The kid was probably six years old.
Lays his head next to the microphone and goes, sister.
He was only six?
He was fucking six.
Wow, that's like a genius comic mind to do.
Because then he was also like, well, I didn't touch it.
He had an alibi.
He had a loophole.
A loophole, yeah.
Dude, I remember one time.
I'm not going to say the names. I'm not going to say what grade or what school.
But this teacher asked me to go down the hall. She may or may not have had a drinking problem. She you know, go down the hall, right? So me and this other kid get up.
And then one of my best friends goes, me too.
And I was like, I don't know.
Come on with me.
And she didn't say him.
And she came storming out.
She goes, I didn't say you.
And she grabbed him by the back of his neck, dug her nails in, and threw him.
Well, he did one of these where he almost fell down.
and threw him where he did one of these where he almost fell down and then i was sitting next to him in class and he had blood coming down his neck like like they took the bolts out of frankenstein
and uh i don't know you could do like that the kid could like leave
home with a perfectly good neck and then come home what happened to your neck i thought the
teacher said me it wasn't me so she grabbed me by my little neck and threw me down the hall
i remember him crying at his desk oh man yeah and i fucking hated my teacher because that was like
my best friend i fucking hated her and i was just like i don't
know kind of solidified was getting to like the whole like well you're really realizing that uh
adults did not have their shit together oh just because they had a car and they they could fucking
you know stay up as late as they want eat eat whatever they want. You think they have all this freedom that they're these fully
developed people.
There's another part of that
story that I told them I would never tell.
I can't. I remember the
first time seeing that with a cop. The first
time I saw it, I grew
up thinking cops were
always right. I was always wrong.
I never
saw it filter and then one time
we got pulled over in uh in georgia and man i remember he took my license and cut it in half
with a knife and i went hang on i don't have a license anymore he was like you like he literally
was looking for me to start a fight
so he could beat the fuck out of me.
What did you do?
I was speeding.
I was just speeding.
We were making moves.
Well, how fast?
Maybe 50 in a 35, going over a bridge.
And not, I mean, not really bad.
Small town?
Small town.
His town.
Okay.
You didn't say anything smart to him?
No, not at all.
I had long hair.
I was listening to the great-
Like two!
Yep.
In a Jetta with Grateful Dead stickers all over it.
And ring him up!
I remember being-
You're lucky he didn't throw you in that crick.
I remember being so confused.
I was like, wait wait what are you doing
like the fact that he
wasn't following the law
blew me away
I can't tell how many times I got pulled over when I was on the
fucking road
I used to always do the same thing I would immediately pull over
and I'd sit like this waiting for the guy
and then he would show up
I'd be like how you doing I'd go it's okay
I got my license I did all of that shit because i remember one time i got pulled over i had some gig in
colorado and i was driving like 90 miles an hour for like an hour in the wrong direction
before i realized it not 90 like 65 70 and then i realized it's gonna take me like an hour and a
half just to get back to where I started and I went from having enough time to go to subway
check into the motel 6 make a set list to having to go straight from my car on the stage so I'm
driving like fucking 90 now and I'm on some back roads in colorado i swear that this
guy in a ford fucking bronco that had like radio shack like cop lights on his dashboard was coming
the other way and he like swerved at me and i was like what the fuck so i pull over and he comes walking up, dude. All he had on was the cop shirt.
He had like blue jeans with the, he looked like a scout master.
Like he was late to a Cub Scout meeting.
He had just the cop shirt tucked in to his pants.
I'm like, what the fuck?
And he comes up and he just fucking, bam, slammed the window.
He goes, get it out.
Talking about that.
And he was a little fucking punk-ass fucking kid.
Little fucking, I still remember his fucking little face.
I could have put him between my fingers
and snapped him on my fucking neck.
Little fucking douche in a big truck
who got the cop shirt.
And I'm going to be like,
you know, hey, buddy,
when you get your first couple whiskers do they
give you the rest of the uniform i mean i had a million for this guy and i can't say because
i am so in the middle of nowhere this guy could blow my brains out and he seems unstable
enough like the level mad that he was i was doing 90. like the worst thing was going to happen i was
going to hit somebody's cow he's in the middle of nowhere he's acting like i was going through some fucking playground with kids running across
the street oh what a cunt i can never tell that story without getting fucking pissed late 90s
i'll tell you the best part of that trip was i made the gig and then um this was 99. The Giants, not the Giants, the Jets were in town playing the Broncos
at the old Horseshoe Mile High Stadium.
Yeah.
The Broncos had just gone back-to-back and had Terrell Davis.
And everybody thought Elway was going to come back.
He retired.
Everybody thought the Jets with Bill Parcells and Keyshawn Johnson
and Vinny Testaverde were
going to go undefeated or whatever Vinny blew out his Achilles in the first game so they were both
oh and four and scalpers had a stack of tickets like this giving them away I paid face value I
probably could have got in for less but whatever so I fucking go in there and uh Terrell Davis blew blew out his fucking acl i guess that isn't a
good story i was just psyched that i went to the i went to the uh i've got to go to mile high
stadium a house of horrors for a patriots fan oh wow dude i swear to god we played them like
every other year it seemed when i was growing up and it was always in Denver, and it was always snowing.
Craig Morton kicked our ass.
John Elway kicked our ass.
Just right on fucking through.
God.
How about Brady, huh?
How about Tom Terrific?
It's not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It's Tom Brady Buccaneers, buddy.
Tom Brady.
I call the victory formation, that's Tom Brady Buccaneers, buddy. Tom Brady. I call the victory formation, that's Tom Brady formation.
Well, his defense definitely stepped up when we'll say he had some
miscommunications with his receivers.
But I can't.
Dude, he beat Drew Brees.
He beat Aaron Rodgers.
Who did he beat the first week of the playoffs?
I already forget.
Andrew?
Do you remember?
No.
But they're doing what the 2008 Giants did,
which I thought was one of the most undeniable championships ever.
But the Patriots were undefeated with the fucking deflate gate.
So it was all about, it was more about us losing rather than like,
wait a minute, do you realize what the Gi just fucking did they beat dallas in dallas they played they had like
three brutal fucking road games dallas was good back then um what do you got in uh washington
it'd be washington oh sorry all right yeah. They're not all going to be world leaders.
Who do you like?
Who do you like in the Super Bowl?
Tampa.
I think it's going to be great.
Yeah.
I mean, I just think there's something that Tom Brady goes in.
Man, Patrick fucking Mahomes.
That guy is – I didn't what he he's done the last
three years like that guy he has the same thing brady has it goes beyond being great it's you
you have the fucking you got the fairy dust sprinkled on your fucking career like just it
just like i was looking at derrick cheater derrick jeter's whole career was like that scene in the natural when he hits the the the lights and all the uh um fireworks and shit
well it wasn't fireworks it was the uh the lights going you know coming down to the field it was
every fucking big moment he always got a hit he never choked even when like guys fucked up and
missed the cutoff man he's over by the dugout
somehow and flips it sideways to get jambi out who doesn't slide right yeah his 3 000 hit he can't
just get a fucking hit and just get that unbelievable milestone it's a walk-off home run
i mean the guy is just like he wanted to end in Yankee Stadium,
and Red Sox really wanted him to play another game so he could show our respect.
So he does one at bat.
What does he do?
Gets a fucking hit, of course.
Gets a hit.
We're all saying thank you for just watching your greatness.
And then he goes, take me out.
It was fucking perfect.
And I feel like certain people just had, like,
the odds that he would be drafted
by the Yankees get to play shortstop never get caught in some stupid fucking trade that's oh I
thought you're gonna say right there is hope it was like a he had a perfect career right yeah then
I look at a guy like you know like I don't know just like guys like Tom Brady like the balls just bounce their way he just Mahomes has that fucking thing and there's a way to beat those guys but you have to have a
running game I feel to do it you want Mahomes sitting on the sideline like Bernie Sanders
that's what you want to slow the fucking game down what happens is everybody sees KC come out and that freight train
offense goes down the field on like four or five fucking plays. And then everybody starts, oh,
fuck, I got to do that. It's like when a boxer fights a brawler. Don't stand in the center of
the ring with them. And that's what they all fucking do. And it's just like, they're going
to score 38. We're going to try to score 40. And I can tell you, having not played organized football since third grade,
the way to beat this team, you want like a 23-17. Patriots beat the greatest show on turf. You want a low scoring fucking game. Yeah. You don't get involved in a shootout. That's my piece. That's
my two cents. Yeah. It was a beautiful day yesterday watching Brady play.
I've never been able to, I mean, this
whole season's been fun rooting for him
because I always wanted him to succeed.
You know, like I always wanted him
to win, but I had no
stake in the Patriots. So I'm always
just kind of rooting for the
guy to win. And so when he went on the box,
it gave him like a, it
made you feel like he had
he had taken a hit backwards everyone said he couldn't do it parcells said i'm the genius
you'll see and then it's i don't know man it was belichick never said that that was all
you have to understand a little something about sports there's like nine 24-hour sports news networks, and they have to fill time.
Oh, yeah.
So because of that, things like Deflategate, which was laughed out of court, and the judge yelled at the NFL for wasting his fucking time.
They actually acted like something still happened because they had to fill up the fucking time.
Because they had to fill up the fucking time.
So that bullshit with friction between Belichick and Brady,
it's just a bunch of bullshit.
It's all bullshit.
All right?
They both respect each other.
I bet he texted him and said congratulations.

How many minutes
can he eat up with that on
ESPN?
Have you watched the Tiger Woods documentary?
No, I haven't.
You guys talked about that last week with
Dean.
That's right. One of the
things that I can't get over,
I cannot get over over and they maybe
should have never told us was the first time tiger woods got in trouble fucking that perkins waitress
the the national inquirer had the scoop and they went to his team and said hey
we know you've been fucking this Perkins waitress.
You got to play ball.
And Tiger's like, tell us what to do.
And they're like, we want you on the cover of Men's Health.
And he's like, fine.
So they got him on the cover of Men's Health.
That's so gross.
It's so gross because now all I can think is everyone that's ever been on the cover of men's health must have a perkins waitress
to get like why the else would they how about that's extortion that is extortion it's
completely this this is my deal okay all all he has to do is play golf and entertain me
all of that other is none of my fucking business.
That's between him and his wife
and his immediate family and his in-laws.
And if they want to drag him around
and fucking scream and yell at him,
they got every right to do it.
But the amount of fucking people that were just like,
he let me down.
It's just like, what is missing in your life
that you're looking into the fucking TV and, like, you put, like, that much stuff on it?
I mean, I just, I don't understand, like, listen, if that documentary was going to be about him, the golfer, I would watch that.
But I do not give a fuck about somebody's personal life.
Somebody's personal life is their personal life.
This fucking bullshit where exes leak videos of former boyfriends and girlfriends.
And then they go after the person who was violated.
And nobody says, hey, what a piece of shit moved by this other person to do that
like that happened recently to the lone ranger guy somebody fucking put out a bunch of shit about uh
whatever the fuck he's into sexually and everybody was coming at him and it was just like what
well what about that fucking woman that he thought he could trust? Isn't the story about the broken trust there?
Yeah.
And then what kind of person am I if I sit down and read all of that shit?
I'm fucking as bad as she is.
I'm worse.
I read all of it, and then I Googled his family history.
Did you know that Armand Hammer?
Can I ask you a question?
I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
Did he do that to you?
I'll tell you why.
Can I ask you a question?
I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why.
Can I do that to you?
I'll tell you why.
Because I always thought that his grandfather, Armand Hammer,
was the person behind Armand Hammer Baking Soda.
And he's not.
Two totally different companies.
And I was like.
What is he behind?
Fucking petroleum.
And then he ended up.
He was so rich.
He bought Armand Hammer Baking baking soda so people would stop fucking asking
him are you part of arm and hammer he bought the company so that no one had to ask him if he was
if that was him that's one of those moments where you're kind of running out of problems
yeah you're going to therapy what's getting you into today army you know that baking soda
well that's you right see that's what the fuck I'm talking about.
No, I, anytime like some like starlet,
all of a sudden there's like naked photos of her online and shit,
and they're all devastated.
Yeah, I'm not looking at them.
There's plenty of fucking porn out there.
I don't need to do that to somebody.
If they're fucking sitting at home crying, why would you do that to somebody?
I might be a dick, but I'm not an asshole.
I'm not going to put that on a T-shirt.
I wish I was as good as you.
No, that's a, I don't know.
That's a, listen, I cross. That's a, this, listen.
I cross lines all the fucking time, believe me.
But for something about that, like, I don't, you know, I don't do that.
I don't fucking publicly shit on other comics.
Like some of these kids today going on Twitter and just piling on on some fucking,
one of those twitter trials
twitter lawyers all sitting around just hang them hang them high and you see like other comedians
jumping in on that and it's just like were you even there
today twitter introduced something called bird watching in in which it's a program in which if you think something is misleading, misleading through a joke, you use this feature to tell on them.
It's called birdwatching.
Yeah, I don't.
They're just what that's some horse shit their lawyers
came up with I probably
I'll tell you know
what would fix that if every comedian just left
said alright we're going to
another platform I don't want to go
I don't want to be telling jokes where there's
birdbush I gotta be honest with you though
like
I save my real jokes for when people come out to see me.
Oh, I don't put them on Twitter.
Who the fuck puts a joke on Twitter?
No, no, no, no.
I just mean thoughts.
Yeah.
Because, dude, there's Twitter jokes that I won't fucking do.
But I also wouldn't do it in my app because it's just a fucking Twitter joke.
Yeah.
So I just kind of keep it to sports and being glib.
I like putting out – I like going, hey, what's the most underrated
Grateful Dead song?
And then getting a bunch of people tweeting me great songs that I can listen to
and then going, oh, cool.
That's what I like for Twitter.

And his mornings, he did the same ritual every day.
You started it by talking about you in Paris with your wife and about what your days look like.
And it just was so romantic.

My wife and daughters bring me in my breakfast on a tray, which was Winston Churchill's breakfast, eggs, bacon, toast, jam,
a little bit of water, a coffee, a cigar, and a scotch.

smoking a cigar in your own fucking house i paced myself i paced myself i love you i never do. I never do. Bert recognizes a moment, and the man delivers.
I love it.
You paced yourself.
Bill, I swear.
I'm just holding that fucking toast in half, jamming it down my throat.
I've never done this in my life.
I took almost three-quarters of a cigar down before I finished my scotch.
I took my time with my scotch.
I literally just took a sip, switched it around, little hit of cigar, Three quarters of a cigar down before I finished my scotch. I took my time with my scotch.
I literally just took a sip, switched it around, little hit of cigar, and just slow rolled it.
Leanne got in bed.
She brought her computer.
We're working on a project.
She's just taking notes, shows me edited things.
I'm giving her notes.
I'm in bed like Winston Churchill.

notes cigar and scotch just like winston churchill i i do get done my scotch i get done my cigar i
smoked the whole cigar in bed doors open we changed the sheets and i felt so good i felt so good
that i go i'm gonna get on the treadmill and run six miles got on the treadmill ran oh with that
cigar all in you I felt I was on a high like I was sweating out I was on an emotional high

aired it out leanne came in this morning's like it doesn't smell like a cigar. Aired it out. Leanne came in this morning and was like, this doesn't smell like a cigar at all.
I was like, yeah, no shit.
Fucking greatest day.
Because I fucking inhaled the whole thing.
Wow, dude, you're an adult, man.
I, you know, I've toyed with the idea of like, you know,
I told my wife, you know,
if we're in some really special place or something i would have a drink and then i'm like now i've done that too many fucking times
and it's like it's not even just like you know after three weeks it's like the next day then
i'm just drinking again yeah no i get a six or something and it's just like my big thing
is i can't have it home i don't know whatever i i got kids and when i drink i get hammered and i
don't want to fucking do that so dude i'm so happy for you that that happened and i i think i speak
for a lot of listeners that we lived vicariously through you or you maybe you gave them an idea
maybe they're not a cigar and scotch person um i tell you that little barista thing or whatever the hell you just had there
uh the way my mind works is i would have to try every drink oh we have what's what's this you
know like i gotta go to all the stadiums i gotta drink all the drinks i gotta play all the clubs
i gotta do a stand-up gig every fucking
night i swear to god it's like i have to make sure whatever i'm applying that to is is gonna
be good for me dude i if i ever watch that fucking um big lebowski oh forget about it
white russians out the ass just i mean I can't even make it through the movie anymore.
Just slamming them.
And they're fucking delicious.
And then that sends me down a fucking road.
Next day, I'm getting, why am I ordering a slice of cheesecake with a bagel?
What the fuck am I doing here?
It's because you got all that sugar in your gum.
We need more.
We need more.

God bless you, Bert. God bless you.
Let me tell you something. God bless this podcast.
We came up with this on this podcast
and it worked out. It was perfect
and it was such a treat.
You're right. If scotch and cigars
aren't your thing, find your thing.
Make a special day out of it because I had a blast yesterday.
Okay.
Well, I already know what I want for my birthday.
I already told my wife what it was going to be.
It's going to be – I'll let you know when it happens.
Okay.
It's something really simple but something that I fucking love.
But she would never let me smoke a cigar in the house, too.
Oh, my dad texted me yesterday.
He goes, I bought this for Bill.
I said, what is it?
It's a cigar called the Jackass.
Have you seen it?
Oh, it's got to be the size of a fucking horse's dick.
It's like this big.
Yeah, that's what I figured.
You got to light it with a Bunsen burner. fucking horse's dick. It's like this big. Yeah, that's what I figured.
You got to light it with a Bunsen burner.
