Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:37 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...
Starting point is 00:00:54 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
Starting point is 00:01:42 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?
Starting point is 00:02:04 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
Starting point is 00:02:40 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
Starting point is 00:02:59 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.
Starting point is 00:03:15 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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
Starting point is 00:06:45 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
Starting point is 00:07:31 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?
Starting point is 00:08:13 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:04 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:02 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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.
Starting point is 00:10:55 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
Starting point is 00:11:18 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
Starting point is 00:11:47 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
Starting point is 00:11:56 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.
Starting point is 00:12:09 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
Starting point is 00:12:26 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.
Starting point is 00:13:03 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.
Starting point is 00:13:18 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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,
Starting point is 00:13:56 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,
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:53 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?
Starting point is 00:15:09 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.
Starting point is 00:15:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:52 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
Starting point is 00:17:18 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.
Starting point is 00:17:47 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?
Starting point is 00:17:59 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!
Starting point is 00:18:11 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
Starting point is 00:18:28 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
Starting point is 00:18:44 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.
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:10 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
Starting point is 00:20:25 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.
Starting point is 00:21:12 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
Starting point is 00:21:47 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?
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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,
Starting point is 00:22:53 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?
Starting point is 00:23:30 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
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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,
Starting point is 00:25:03 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
Starting point is 00:25:55 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
Starting point is 00:26:34 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
Starting point is 00:26:57 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.
Starting point is 00:27:32 All right? They both respect each other. I bet he texted him and said congratulations. This podcast is brought to you by Romans. How often do you use... Okay, let's do it. Start it over. This podcast is brought to you by Romans. How often do you use excuses like,

Starting point is 00:29:01 GetRoman.com slash BillBert. 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.
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 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
Starting point is 00:30:42 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
Starting point is 00:31:34 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?
