I already am, my agent. Go to nickdip.com for all my tour dates and hit me up on Twitter and Instagram, Facebook, at Nick DiPaolo.

Please do that. I'm about 40 away from 100,000. Push me over that mark. Pretend I'm a carded kid who needs fucking bone marrow. Something. Push me over the... What? 866-969-1969. Not that I've said anything worth calling in

But 866-969-1969 Is the phone number if you'd like to chime in Got a lot to talk about Or a little, however You know, it was What do you want to do, football? Talk about the weekend I guess NFL was the big You know, big fucking, you know, opening Sunday.

How many times? Are they still playing that on CBS? They are, right, Brendan? I had to fucking, a couple years ago, when I started my podcast, I alerted people to this, and they were actually getting mad at me, going, that is stuck in my head. I go, they play it when they go to

commercial, they play it when they come out of commercial, they play it when they put up graphics of who's the starting lineup, they play it when a referee farts, they play it when there's a review, you just... Oh, God. Let's throw it to Shannon Sharp with his thick talk.

Todd, you're going to break it down. You're just Todd. You're going to break it down. Huh're just a tight end. You're going to break it down. Huh? Even though he's on ESPN now. But Jesus H. And poor Terry Bradshaw. He's aging like I thought a redneck from Louisiana who liked to hit the sauce would.

Guy's in his late hundreds, it looks. Love him, though. Love him. And James Brown, can I just ask, you know, James Brown, I just ask You know James Brown The guy that does the NFL And fucks Is he sick or You don't notice he's down

About 100 pounds From a couple years ago No I try not to watch I guarantee he's You try not to watch It's too much It's too much

I don't watch that shit either It's too much I can't handle it Well I've never watched it But I'm flipping through it Half time I didn't notice And I stopped.

Let me look. He looks frighteningly thin, so I don't know. I'm just making a... But anyways, me and Andy, Andy Fiore, my producer,

we were arguing about the, you know, NFL versus college, and he prefers the NFL, and I prefer watching college. And I'm not saying it's a better product in that it's cleaner. I watched about 11 games of each this weekend, and my opinion is the same. I saw 19 flags on the two NFL games I was watching.

Just no discipline whatsoever. And here's the thing that makes me nuts about the NFL. I forget about it during offseason, but it all comes rushing back. I'm watching the Jets and the Bills. Couple of powerhouses. Watching those two

after watching my Patriots shit the bed I won. We got nothing to worry about. We could lose the next three, we're still going to win this division. Two mediocre dog shit teams. But here's what infuriates me about the NFL, folks. The players, a lot of the players don't know the rules. Now the referees don't know the rules.

The announcers don't know the rules, and the coaches don't. What do you mean, Nick? I've been whining about this for a while. I'm watching the Jets game. I think one of the Jets picked off a pass. He's returning it. One of his players, his own players, his own teammates trips him up. He falls down on his face.

Okay? He is not down yet. He is still alive. Of course, he doesn't know who tripped him up. Maybe he thought somebody tackled him. So he gets up on one knee and sort of puts the ball on the ground like the play's dead, which it is not. Some lineman for the Bills who's very alert,

big fucking guy with a beard, barrels over him because he knows it's still a live play. Knocks the ball loose. I think the Bills are coveted. The jerk-off referees get together. Well, I watched it on replay 11 times. They're discussing it for 22 minutes. It's a open and shut case if you guys know football,

that that's a fucking live ball. It should be the Bills ball. And they're yapping about it. I don't see they go over to the Bills coach. I see the referee explain some dog shit to him. He just nods his head because he doesn't know. The player, and I see this all the time in the NFL, these guys come right out of college. You know the college rule is different. When you fall down

if your knee touches, you're down. But in the pros, you can get up and run. I want you to count this year how many times these players don't know that. They are the most undisciplined and now the coaches don't know. It is ridiculous. The referees go over and give some bullshit excuse. Oh, he gave himself up. No, he didn't. Then you have to change the rules. You have to change the rules. Does anybody notice any of this shit, folks?

Are you all anesthetized to mediocrity? Do you notice any of this? Yes, Andy. Remember, it's a one-man show, but go ahead. I've gone on record saying NFL officiating has been for years. Oh, it's been deteriorating for years. Since I was 17, it started. Go ahead. I heard saying NFL officiating has been for years. Since I was 17, it started.

To be fair, they do seem like they have new rules every single year. It's got to be hard to keep up. Those aren't the rules they're blowing. They're blowing rules that were set in place when Len fucking Dawson was the quarterback for the Chiefs. You're like, who's Len Dawson? Exactly my point. I mean, this is what you used to hear when Len Dawson fucked up. Mr. Official, let me ask you something.

How can six of you miss a play like that, huh? Oh, six of you. The ball jumped out of there as soon as we made contact. I thought you were talking about you being on the field. No. What? It all comes rushing back. I forget about it during the offseason. I forget about all the shit I hate about the NFL and the fucking reviews now every, and they've ruined college football, 11 reviews in the first half.

Just, you know, somebody's knee touched down at the one, one hundredth of an inch line. Oh, big fucking difference. I used to be a proponent of replay. I say, get rid of it in all sports except for baseball where it works pretty good uh it's pretty obvious you know ball lands foul or whatever and i say balls and strikes should be called by a fucking robot who will have sex with your wife after and then maybe cut your throat um but the fucking nfl you know these officials you know during the rest of the year they work for real estate companies and fucking Michelin tire.

And you realize they're not full time officials. And it's supposedly going to start that way, you know, and they should. I mean, they should. There's housewives betting on these games. It's very important. 866-969-1969. I want to hear from you NFL fans who have been, you've just been brainwashed, and the marketing has just overwhelmed you. And again, I understand the talent is superb, but they're millionaires.

They're young millionaires who really don't give a fuck. You put on Clemson and Auburn, you're watching guys who are trying to get to the NFL. Who's playing harder? Who, I always use this example, when you like to see Lawrence Taylor when he's at North Carolina in his physical peak, even though he's doing blow probably. My father used to say that about Lawrence Taylor. He'd have three sacks in like the first quarter. My dad goes, he's on drugs. I go, dad, why do you have to say that?

My father would say it every time. He's just so much better. He's doing drugs. I go, bullshit. He's just that good. Turns out he was doing drugs. And he was that good. By the way, in my opinion,

the best player ever in the history of the NFL. No fucking doubt about it. My opinion. When you have to rearrange your offense because of one guy on defense, I love that fucker. That guy was a football player. And I say it. I'll say it again. The NFL's better when they're doing Roids and Coke and HGH.

Let it all... Pot slows them down. The NFL's better when they're doing roids and coke and HGH. Let it all. Pot slows them down. Let them fucking do that after the game. Go to P. Diddy's house or get on a yacht. But before the game, fuck it. Cocaine. A little bit of meth for the white guys. Play it 100 miles an hour.

Who's with me out there? Anybody? Any bunch of girls? Fucking 866-969-1969. But these goddamn refs and the coaching that i blame it on the coaches these kids like you drafted them out of alabama the rules are different do you stress to them that when their knee touches that they can get up and still run if nobody touches them in the nfl i see it over and over again and then they put the refs don't even know yeah let's discuss over

20 minutes and i see the jets are the bills call whoever the jets coast and't even know. Eh, let's discuss it for 20 minutes. I see the Jets, or the Bills, or whoever, the Jets, they didn't even put up an argument or whatever. And one of the Jets players got pissed and barreled over the guy for the Bills. I hope I don't have the team's arrest. It doesn't matter. But one of the Jets guys barreled over the guy for the Bills that flattened the guy who was getting up like it was a cheap shot but ironically the guy for the bills gentleman knows the rules out there big lineman came tear

ass and downfield and um and it all came rushing back to me why the nfl gives me a headache i'm flipping through the games i got the sunday ticket a direct tv because i have that kind of money i still sell weed to kids and 19 games i'm flipping through at games. I got the Sunday ticket at DirecTV because I have that kind of money. I still sell weed to kids. And 19 games. I'm flipping through. At one point, I got four games on, and there's a penalty being reviewed on three of the four screens. And again, we all, we gradually, over the years, we become anesthetized to this shit. We're conditioned to, you know, we just not have it.

You get used to it. And then you put on Ohio State and Oklahoma, and you go, oh, this is what it's about. 115,000 strong. Did you see that one, by the way? There were some good ones this weekend. Very impressive. Oklahoma goes into number two Ohio State in the horseshoe. Oklahoma's number five.

Not exactly chopped liver. And gives them a fucking beating. It was, uh, tremendous. I watched about three games. I record them all. It's four in the morning. My wife's upstairs giving me the finger. I'm three stories down. It's 4 a.m. Trying to fucking fight

sleep to watch Monmouth versus Albany State. I just love it that much. Excuse me. Didn't mean to burp into the microphone, but that's what happens when you drink. And then another game. Was it the Giants game last night? Was it a guy for the Cowboys?

I might have my games mixed up. A white fella caught a punt, and he stood there. He didn't call a fair catch. He just froze, and everybody thought he called a fair catch, and he ran. Was that the Cowboys' Giants? That could have been Switzer, yeah. I think it was Switzer. Yeah, Switzer.

Which was, okay, here's another problem. So he does that, which is a beautiful ploy. He catches the punt. He never raised his hand for a fair catch, but he stood there after he caught it, and all the guys around him, the dummies that they are, assumed he caught a fair catch. And then he started to run.

And then the ref rules, he gave himself up. No, he didn't! He fooled these guys! Then you have to change the rules! How do you determine that? How long he stood still? Is it two seconds?

One? When do you give yourself up? Did you guys see that? He stood there. And all the Giants went like this. They didn't want to bump into him like he caught a fish. It was beautiful. And even the players on Fidelis on the sideline, the guys around the bench were laughing. It was a beautiful move.

And the ref goes, he gave himself up. He didn't give himself up. He didn't. Lena Dunham, she gave herself up. I don't even know what that means. Brendan, help me out. Who likes college? Who likes it?

I like it all, folks. Don't get me wrong. I love it all. But I'm just saying a cleaner game was my point the other night. You were right. It's your opinion. But as far as a spectator and a cleaner game, when I say cleaner, I don't mean clean dirty. I mean, as far as less flags.

I agree with that. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And some about 110,000 people in the stands and cheerleaders who are 21 years old. The male ones, of course, I'm talking about. But it's just, you know, and again, I watched nothing but NFL for the first 30 years of my life and, and, uh, the college won me over. It's vicious. The hitting is, is vicious.

And you're watching your future stars. These guys are going to the Giants and the Pats and the, I just love it. These guys, they, they young men, you know, you just picture, like I said, Lawrence Taylor at 19 or 20 years old, just physical specimens, man. And you put on the SEC, you can tell it's the SEC just by watching it. Every defensive back has a 23 inch waist. They're just, I just, each year I get older, I actually tear up now. Cause I remember, you know, I played up at Maine for a couple of years up at Maine. And I remember going for the first few years after I graduated, I know, I played up at Maine for a couple years up at Maine, and I remember going, for the first few years after I graduated, I'd go, I could probably still get out there. Each year, I'm like, I don't think so.

Oh, God, that must have hurt. Oh, my elbows wouldn't even stand that. Now it's like I bawl on the couch going, I'll be dead soon. Look at these kids. I'm telling you. What do we got here? People want to talk about the hurricane? I thought I was doing you a favor by getting away from it We got a lot of football

Huh? Yes we do, I know it David in Washington I wanted to talk about the Packers See, that was it I love that game Yeah, but what I think he's going to say Go ahead, David

Nick, dear God I love that game. Yeah, but what I think he's going to say, I agree with. Nick, dear God, I am not calling up with sour grapes. There will be no wine at any time exchanging this phone call, okay? The Seahawks lost that game fair and square. But that goddamn reffing, what in the fucking bullshit? damn blessing. What in the fucking bullshit? Jeremy Lane getting ejected changed the trajectory of that game entirely on a phantom punch when the guy was holding Lane by his fucking face now. All right. Okay. But hold on. Let's not say change the trajectory of the game. It's not like fucking, come on, let's not go that far.

But, yes, was there a punch that we might have missed? No. Well, you know, you're relying on the cameras. Go ahead. Yes, they were saying there was a punch because they'd only caught the retaliation. I know they said there was a punch. I'm saying. I'm agreeing with you.

Just because the cameras didn't catch it doesn't mean it didn't happen is what I'm saying. And there's a lot more to that play in these calls. Okay. Go ahead. Sorry. This sounds to me like Boomer and Carter. There was also the hold on Aaron Rodgers. Yeah.

They said that somebody blocked him in the back. Yes. It was all fucking. I mean, the guy, he put his hand on his fucking back. Jesus Christ. I mean, it was. I mean, come on. If you're going to play this game,

please, Nick, call somebody at the league office. You give them your word and say, leave it the fuck alone. That punch, I'm telling you right now, we're not depending on anything else. The guy from Green Bay grabbed Jeremy Lane's fucking face mask.

They have that on camera. Two hands. Yeah. Yeah, no, I agree, Dave. Yeah. You know, I agree, Dave. I agree. No, I agree. That's what I'm saying. Until these guys become full-time and they put them in school or whatever, you know, it's, you know, you're going to put up with more of this shit. It's been getting progressively worse year after year.

And, no, I hear what you're saying. And, like I said, my problem with the Jets and the Bills thing, it's like they didn't even really know the rules. They said, no, he gave himself up. They take the easy way out. You know what I'm saying? They take the safest way. Go ahead.

They're making up rules as they go along, Nick. I mean, look at so many games yesterday. I'm serious. Referees were looking at each other like, oh, well, what do we call? It just has to be something. That's the entire thing, the entire gist of it. By the way, if the Patriots are CSO of the Super Bowl, can I come to your house and watch?

Absolutely. And let me tell you something, David. Even though they lost, let me tell you, the Seahawks, that was my favorite game of the weekend. There was some serious popping going on. It was close. And the Seahawks are going to be fine if that referee crew doesn't follow them throughout the season. But, no, you guys.

Next week we get the 49ers and that will wipe all this taste out of our mouth because we are going to upend the 49ers next week. It won't even be close. We'll probably blow them out by 40. I don't know. They're looking at Kaepernick again, so I wouldn't count you chickens. Oh, stop it.

All right, Dave. Stop it. It's not going to happen. See you later. Love you, Nick. Love you. God damn it, I love you. All right.

Take care, Dave. Billy in North Carolina. How are you, Bill? Pretty good, man. How are you doing? What's happening? Nothing much. So I'm kind of opposite of you.

I started college football and starting to navigate towards, you know, NFL just because Florida State got their asshole kicked by Obama, and now our quarterback's done. So, you know, I don't know, man. Wait a minute. North Carolina lost a quarterback? No, Florida State. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What's his name? Francois. Yeah. Yeah, Francois. Yeah. He was going to be a Heisman hopeful, too. They lose him on the first. But, no, that's not a reason to give up on your team, man.

Come on. Florida State, schools like that, you're 19 deep in all positions. True, true. We've got a true freshman quarterback now, so we'll see. We'll see what happens, man. Well, hang in there. Hang in there, Billy. Yeah, buddy.

All right. Bye-bye. But let's stay on point, folks. What? I was going to say another thing, which attributes to what? What, Boomer? I'm starting to see more flags being picked up. They get together and they go, actually, there was no foul on the field.

Yeah? Have you noticed that more? No. Well, I have. In the NFL. Yeah. Which means they don't know what they're doing. You either saw a foul or you didn't.

No, they don't. They don't. But again, the players have no excuse. If you're making a fucking few million dollars a year, you should know. I don't care if you're a rookie and they have to go year you should know you should i don't care if you're a rookie and they have a straight out of college you should know in the nfl if you go down and nobody touches you you're not down by you can get up and go it's not like how do you not know

that and jesus and and and here's the other thing i'll see uh i'll see a kickoff and uh sometimes a kickoff the ball will buy i see see this in college, by the way. Somebody will kick it into the end zone and the ball's bouncing around and the refs will just do this. In other words, touchback. Well, that ball's still live unless they change the rules that I don't know about.

Nobody pays attention to detail anymore. That ball's live. Somebody kicks off and it lands in the end zone. Not out of the end zone. It's bouncing around. Sometimes it plays during the ball like downing it. The ref just goes like end zone. Not out of the end zone. It's bouncing around. Sometimes the play's not even by the leg downing it. The ref just goes like this, steps in front of the guy, because he didn't make an attempt to catch it.

I don't, I don't, that's a live mall. Little shit like that that's lost on the, you know, average chooch watching. But, um, it all came rushing back to me. And that was the first play I watched of the whole season, that Jets-Bills call. It was the first play. I just happened to turn on the TV, and I'm like, oh, this is why I hate it.

People don't, referees have no idea. Like I said, it looked like nobody knew. The player, the guy who obviously, the guy who obviously thought he got tackled and put the ball on the ground. Like I said, the only guy that knew was the guy with the Bills. But after watching those two battling, the Bills, the powerhouse Bills and Pats, I mean, Jets, I was like, okay. As far as my Patriots folks, yeah, they dropped the big log.

But they also have about 11 new members on both sides of the balls. And believe me, Belichick treats the first two or three games like an extended preseason. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I like this running back 35 for the Pats. Gillespie or something? I like him way better than Blount. Because he runs over people, but he can also run east-west.

Anyways. And I thought they looked pretty... they were just confused on defense. Belichick gave him too much to chew on, I think. But, I don't know. Frank in the Bronx. What's up, what's up, Nick? What up, Frankie? It's funny, you know, what do you mean the guys on the football team,

they're not smart, you say? Let me tell you something, Frank. You got to be able to... You think they're very stupid? No, there's some of that. Not only did my giant take a shit, your team took a shit, too. Yeah, but here's the difference. Frank, let me...

Fucking Frank, it's my show. Shut up. Here's the difference. Welcome to the Frank show. Fuck. In the year 2000, I think it was Belichick's first season with the Pats, they went up to Buffalo

on opening day, and they got shredded 38-0, and they went on to win the Super Bowl. And you can look at a few more of their Super Bowl winning seasons where they shit the bed early in the season. It's not really an outlier, in my opinion. Your thoughts, Frank? My thoughts are, I think I'll keep it quick because it's your show.

But, yes, I believe that there's some serious things to that. Because when the Giants were, like, I think 9-7 and they barely made the playoffs, they ended up winning the Super Bowl. So you got something there. You got something there. The reason why I called was you might want to look at some footage of the Fox coverage yesterday. You had those crazy white country boys dancing with the brothers. They were doing these plays in the end zone that the dancers that were acceptable without a penalty,

the dancers that were unacceptable. And don't tell me the white ones are unacceptable. Let me tell you, the ones that they were making Terry Bradshaw do and the old coach from the Cowboys, they were all doing these black, these black dance. Oh God. It was just, it looked like,

uh, uh, what's his face? It's a steel, a QB. I keep forgetting his name. Yeah. He's so fucking fat.

I can't believe how big he got. But, but they love doing that. Don't they? Frank, they love taking the old white guy. The white dude, the white guys,

they can just like every commercial you see on TV, the black people get the delivery of the first. Yeah, I know. I pointed it out. I was the comedian who pointed it out 25 years ago on my first CD. I know, you preach it to the choir. But you're right,

it permeates every aspect of our society, whether it's commercials, a sitcom, fucking NFL Fox halftime show, movies, it permeates it. It is so, what is this, payback time for Whitey? I'm on this planet for fucking 10 minutes.

I have to put up with this shit. Put Whitey on display like a chicken in a fucking whorehouse. I remember they tried to make, who was it? White coach for the, it might have been Belichick, somebody like that, try to make him dance at the Super Bowl. And I go, you don't see them handing a black player his contract

and ask him to read out loud, do you? Yeah, and they also, I love the voice that they make when they do make fun of the white guy. It was like we all talk like jerk-offs. Well, how are you, Frankie? Frankie, how are you from the Bronx? All right, Frank, take it easy. All right, let's break.

Let's take a break, kids. Ohio State, Oklahoma, that was Pat's. Did I hit it all, Bill Jets? Oh, no, we'll talk about, we'll stay on the NFL because, again, it intersects with race. And sports is a microcosm of our society. And, of course, you had some unhappy African-American players sitting on their ass during the national anthem. You know, in a country that pays them millions of dollars to play a kid's game when they couldn't fucking even graduate high school in most countries. But I can see why you'd be ungrateful. And if it's a beef against the cops why why are you pissing

on the flag i don't get that 866-969-1969 back after this you're listening to the nick show on faction talk Sirius XM 103. And now, back to the Nick DiPaolo Show on SiriusXM. Faction Talk 103. Final segment on a Monday night, folks. Go home. There's a couple of Monday night games on. That's the other thing the NFL does. Pound it down your throat until you get sick of it.

But it is opening Monday night, so it's a big deal. It's a better situation. 866-969-1969. We were currently talking about the Steve Bannon interview on 60 Minutes. Before I get that, I want to mention 16th anniversary of 9-11. And, you know, I get mixed thoughts on this, too. I don't want to sound disrespectful here, but I'm not the only one, because there was an article in the paper. They do the whole, they name all the names every year. I don't know.

I think we wallow in our grief a little bit. And that's not to be disrespectful to anybody. I just think at some point you gotta move on. I always thought that. And then I read an article going, oh, okay. I'm not the only one out there. So maybe I'm not the one that feels that way. But you know, I don't know.

It's a sign of a healthy thing if you get. You don't forget about it completely. I'm just saying. I don't know. It's a tough one. But, you know, a lot of people are lost. And I told you, my sister had a friend. Yes.

We were talking about this before the show. Karen Martin is her name, and she was one of the stewardesses on Flight 11. One of the first, they think she might have been the first person that died in this whole mess. I know they cut the throat of some passenger in first class,

and then they went after the stewardesses, the flight attendants. But 16 years ago, I can't believe, I remember saying to my wife the next night, I think I was in Queens at the time,

saying to my wife going, before you know it, we will be going, wow, that was 10 years ago. It's already been 16. I was in a story and um i had a fogged glass window in my bathroom that i always left open always i shut it the night before i i don't remember if it was cold or cool. I don't know why. I got up to pee, went back to bed, and I got up at around 935, 940. And you can see the Twin Towers from my bathroom window. Went back to bed, woke up like a comedian, like at 1150, and there's a thousand messages.

And I'm like, what? Put on the TV. And I go right in the bathroom, and I open like, what the, put on the TV, you know. And I go right in the bathroom and I open the windows and I see holy Christ. Two nights later we're doing a show at the Comedy Cellar and the powder is still all the shit,

all over the car is still, the powder and stuff. And we're talking about it on stage two nights later. And I still think they should have built those two towers right the fuck back up and added a third one. That really, that bugs me to this day.

Hey. So, uh, yeah. Obviously, let's not forget about that. Let's go to, uh, let's go to Brendan in California. Brendan,ndan in california brendan what's going on yo um first want to say yo jimmy love you my uh my family's in west palm thankful that the i didn't hit you guys with a four yeah um and uh yeah so uh I think what if we get our wall and as a compromise, just so we can get everything done at once, no more fighting, just end it all. We just let all these Dreamer people, just let them have their citizenship.

Just be like, all right, you're here. Yeah, but that's not how it works, Brendan. Because if you do that, Trump's base, like me, will abandon him. That's why you can't. Even if you get your wall? They're not going to get a wall. I don't want a wall. I want to militarize it.

I want 10 soldiers for 800 miles, 10 soldiers deep. Well, let's bring some home from over 100 bases. I'm all right with that. National Guard, homeless people. There's plenty of people that need a fucking job. Train them how to use a gun, put a uniform up, and stand them at the border. Brendan, your thoughts? I'm with you there.

No, I agree with that. Absolutely. Yeah. You should meet Tulsi Gabbard. She sounds pretty cool. She's in our National Guard. She was one of the first Democrats to meet with Trump when he became president. I think you should look into her because she's pretty dope. Wait a minute. Is that the girl from Hawaii? The former military chick? Hell yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, i kind of like her i do i like her ran paul yo if they ran for president would you vote for that or i don't know which one as a ticket as a ticket well ran paul ran paul loses me on his foreign policy he's a little bit of a wacko like his dad. He thinks we're all going to fucking, you know, just fold in and be isolated or whatever. I don't know. But, yeah, he's a smart dude. We'll put Tulsi up in president. We'll go with her for our policy.

Okay. She's all right. Sometimes she sounds really fucking lefty to me, though, on some shows, depending where she is. But, yeah, she was in the military, so she put her money where her mouth is. Not a bad looker either Not to be sexist

She doesn't take any money She only takes From people That's it Alright No PAC No PAC money No not at all

No corporation She's dope I'm glad you know about her Alright Brandon Thank you And let's get our wall Alright Alright

Take care man Well If we're gonna get a wall I want people sitting on it, on top of it, with bayonets. You don't need that shit today. With all the technology. You know those sex robots? There was a story. You mentioned it.

You said it to me. We'll do it tomorrow. These hackers can hack into the robots. The AI. The artificial intelligence. And they can kill you? Well, they can control it. They control what it does.

They can tell it to... The hackers can essentially work in a remote control. But it still has to have hands and shit that it's going to choke me or stab me. I'm still confident. People are scared of artificial intelligence. I said, I'm not scared of anything. I can throw a bucket of water on it. It's going to smoke.

I know that's not how it works, but it's kind of a lost in space fucking view I have. Danger. Avion. Avion water. Danger. Let's go to Mike in New York. Mike, what's happening? you doing nick i missed you a long weekend um well i like you talking about bannon he sounds like a cool guy but i started

listening to the milo book i know you're a fan of him did you get it i have not i suggest you buy it on audible if not i'll send it to you and it's a good uh listen and it'll really get you like fired up um kind of fired me up this weekend because i started listening to it on thursday and i didn't really want to bring this up because it's really sad in my mind because i called you last month and we talked about eric bowling yeah and and it's horrible what happened yes it's just bullshit like you know it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt now it's just it's not cool and it's really kind of upset me this weekend yeah i met the guy once

you know he's a nice guy and this is like they want to pick everyone out and then you have stuff like this happen so

yeah and what was the guy what was the guy's name at the Huffington Post Ali Ali Yashir or something I think Yashir Ali

and then he had the nerve to tweet like yeah if I was bowling I would have fucking went to his house and wrung his neck and probably murdered him, because that's just ridiculous. Well, yeah. No, absolutely.

It shows what a fucking coward and... It may be sick. Thanks for the call, Mike, by the way. I'll check out... I thought you were bringing it down, but... No, it's all right. No, you make a good point. We had a lot to cover today. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, for you guys who didn't hear, Eric Bowling, That's all right. No, you make a good point. We had a lot to cover today. And yeah, thanks. Yeah.

If you for the for you guys who didn't hear Eric Bolling, you know, he was the host of the specialists. He'd been filling in for O'Reilly last few years. And, you know, he's a pro pro Trump guy and a real conservative out there like Hannity, basically, you know. So naturally, that means like the scum at Huffington. Was it Huffington Post? Yes.

I always confuse him with Salon. That Yashir Ali, you know, he's the one that went after him saying about the dick pics that bowling 10 years ago, he sent dick pics to his colleagues and bop, bop, bop. And next thing you know, it cost him his job bowling. They made it official on Friday that Fox was gonna really and and his son takes his own life his 19 year old son the same day 19 years old and i saw eric but i am i bowling a few times i did the strategy room that live streaming show and uh you know so i hope you're happy yashir whatever your name is. Is it Yashir Ali? Yeah, it's something like that.

Yeah, I know it's something like that. I hope you pull it. But how horrible? How horrible is that? Unbelievable. And yeah, is it Yashir? Yashar. Yashar Ali, right?

He's the one who broke the story. And then he's the first one to say, hey, Eric Bolling's son just committed, you know, condolences and blah, blah, blah. But you know why? Because his conscience was bothering him. That's why. He probably said, oh, no, I have to put this out. And now you look like a dick either way. So hope you're fucking happy, scumbag.

That's what you do. Personal, you know, politics of personal destruction why because some girls looked at a picture a picture 10 years ago and i'm not condoning that i i don't know i don't get that that's past my generation that you sent a picture of your dick but i'm just saying okay so some girls were grossed out for 30 seconds so let's destroy a fucking guy's career. And just ridiculous. 19 years old, the kid. And he always talked about him.

You know, I'd see him on The Five when Bowling Hosted The Five. He'd always picture him on the weekend with his kid graduating this and that. I mean, this was his only kid. Like this. You know what I mean? He really always talked about him and shit. Just horrible. And, of course, people celebrating on the left on those websites and shit.

Yeah, but they do it on the right, too. Yeah, not as much. Let's go to Roland in Texasas roland what's going on hey man what's happening r.i.p to all the 90s and brothers and sisters passed away hey uh the reason they uh they call out they call out their names i want to say speaking of conscience yeah they want old bush and cheney and rumsfeld and all them other people that had something to do with that i don't know that's just me thinking that yeah what did what did they do exactly i don't know what what what didn't they do what what

should have they have done what no you see you're making a claim that bush had something to do with it and cheney and i want to hear why to hear this. Why wasn't the military there quick enough? They sent them over to Canada. The military that protects the Pentagon, the White House, none of them were there. They sent them all the way. They did. And they were practicing for planes attacking them.

Yeah. I think, all right, I know the film you're talking about and 98% of it has been debunked, but if there is

anything, I wouldn't just go with Bush, Cheney, every American president, we've had a relationship with

the Saudis. If you want to go after anything, that's the real... Well, yeah, yeah. Let's not pin it on Bush and Cheney, okay? You can pin it on fucking Clinton, too, for not whacking fucking Osama bin Laden. So, you know, you don't...

It's kind of hackneyed to fucking go after... Okay, the broad, wide brush of the government, yeah. Yeah. But that's why I think they call out the names. So that content, I think they do it for this. Okay. All right.

Thank you, sir. You got it. You got it wrong. Yeah. Bush and Cheney, Bush and Cheney, Cheney made a 10 millions a dollar.

I saw the movie and fucking... Mike in Staten Island. Mike, are you flooded there? Are you getting water? Oh, I'm sorry. I got the wrong part of the country. I'm talking about citizenship and how we take it for granted. Perhaps citizenship by right of birth is a passe notion, and we should go to citizenship by merit. You know, that if you're born in America,

yeah, you're a guaranteed legal resident. But to be a true citizen and vote and have benefits and things like that, maybe you should provide some sort of civil service for a couple years and earn it. Like a mailman? If anything, either in the military or for a conscientious objective, there's plenty of bridges and dams that need repairing. Yes. I like it. Let's start with the fucking, what is it, fish kill?

What's it called over there? Fresh kill? Yeah, exactly. The fish kill pond is that we call it. Yes. Yeah, no, I think that's not a bad idea. Citizenship by merit. You know, in a lot of these countries that the liberals look at, like Sweden and Finland, you know, you have to provide at least a year of military service to be a citizen.

So it gets the socialists on our side, too. Yeah, they always point to that. And I always go, yeah, what are the demographics over there? Different ethnicity-wise? I have to break that down, they don't want to look at that. And that, and the country is 1,100th the size of the United States as far as population. They always overlook that. Now, everybody can get to be on the dole and be happy. Yeah, just cry in shame.

Yep, you're right. Not a bad idea, Mike. All right, Nick, have a good night. You got it i think citizenship's stupid we're just all human beings i think that's all just paperwork and shit i mean come on we're all gonna get along what kind of wall would you have i think a nice stucco with a cj in california i'd like to talk about hurricane relief ads cj nick i know you saw a commercial

yesterday because it played it every fucking time out. It was the commercial with our living president, Clinton, Bush, Obama. Yeah. Pleading for money. There was one guy missing, our current president. I thought, both parties hate this guy. They're not going to put him in this commercial. But that commercial played every fucking time out that I saw. And I go, what is Trump going to do when he's two terms

from now? They're not going to want to use this guy for any kind of commercials. I mean, they had every living president, except for the current president, in these commercials, and I said, both parties hate this guy. You know what, CJ? I didn't, I got to be honest with you, I saw the commercials, and that didn't even dawn on me.

I got to be... Oh my God, the first thing I thought, and Clinton looks like he's going to, he's's skull at her he looks like he's he's you know three feet under already he sounds the living president isn't part of this project i didn't you know was i missing something was it supposed to be past presidents or there was no caveat it was supposed to be just all i know is when obama and bush whenever the past it was always the current president engaged yeah in a unison with the yeah you're right previous president with unison it was bush and clinton doing something together it was in bush and obama and clinton no they excluded trump out of this

whole situation i didn't even do this guy't want anything to do with this guy. I can't believe that was lost on me. I was so wrapped up in that tremendous Eagles-Redskins... No. I, uh... That was totally fucking lost on me. Hey, can I put one thing out to you, too? Yeah.

College rules... In California, college rules are pro. I was at the Stanford-USA game. Yeah. At the LA Coliseum. There's 100,000 people in that Coliseum Saturday night. Oh, nice. Less than 20 hours later for the Rams game, there was maybe 5,000 people at that game.

And at the 49er game, there was probably 10,000 people at that game. So college definitely rules, at least here in California, against our pro teams. I mean, there's no question. Yeah. College definitely is a more exciting game. That even makes more sense in California because, you know, USC, UCLA, and, you know, you've had what? Fucking pro-wise.

What have you had? We've got three pro teams here, man, that can't sell at a stadium. We've got three now NFL pro teams that can't give away tickets to their team. So those are my two points, brother. But the whole commercial with the three living presidents, except for the current president, really caught my attention. Yeah, I didn't.

That's a great catch, CJ. I didn't. I was too focused on Bush Sr. I couldn't believe he was still a... That guy's hanging in there. No Trump. Yeah, no Trump. No parties, no one.

He didn't do it with this guy. And I just think, what's he going to do? They. What are you going to do with this guy? And I just think, what's he going to do? They're not going to make a library for this guy after two terms. He's going to be, he is not a wanted. No, you're right.

No, you're right. He's definitely the outsider, which I love. I love the fact that he's the outsider, but nobody wants this guy. And if they don't build him a library, I'm going to burn down the fucking Clinton Library,

maybe the House in Chaparral. I'll be right there with you. All right. See you house in Chapaget. I'll be right there with you. See you soon. Bye, buddy. I was kidding, by the way. I wouldn't burn anybody's house. I was kidding, honey! As Tony Montana said in his Elfie! I was kidding!

I didn't notice that. I saw that commercial many times. Huh? I don't remember it either. You don't remember the commercial? No, I don't even remember the commercial. Well, I remember the commercial. I saw it a hundred times, and I didn't pick up on the fact that Trump wasn't in there.

It was Bush, Bush Sr. Oh, my God, poor Bush Sr. He's got minutes. You know who? Obama, the Marxist. And Bill Clinton, who sounds worse than ever. No, he sounds horrible. Please, I'm relieved.

I'll send someone. I got a finger pop a couple of bitches, but I'll send them some money. He sounds weak, man. That heart operation took the steam out of him. He was frail. And after his thick-ankled dog-faced wife failed him, he was hoping that bitch was going to be in D.C. He was going to be banging everything in Westchester County.

Let me show you my tomato garden. She's coming. She's coming up the street. Here come the thick-ankled dog-faced. Get up. All right, we get three minutes left. I will take one more call. she's coming she's coming up the street here come the thick-angled dog face get up all right we get three minutes left i will take one more call chris in california chris what's going on hey nick how you doing pretty good how are you i'm doing good hey i like that the last caller was also from california and he voted for trump too There's not many of us. We come from the land of the liberals, so it's nice to have a brother out here.

Yeah. Yeah, you need more. I was at the Rams game yesterday, and I'm now red from my Irish skin, but there was a little bit more than 5,000 people there, but the funny thing was half of them were Raiders fans. Is that right? Yeah, which was pretty hilarious. But, hey, I was calling on the whole citizenship topic and the whole DACA thing.

I do home loans for a living out here, and DACA is the big hot-button issue for us because everybody in the lending community is worried that they're going to lose out on business because they can't lend to DACA borrowers anymore, and they're all crying about not being able to get loans. And so I made a post the other day on Facebook saying like, isn't this a great opportunity now for 800,000 people to go get their citizenship? And why weren't these 800,000 people trying to become citizens before? They were all just, you know, they're just leecheching and i get it that they have work visas but why not become a citizen if you're already contributing and why be upset now if you're

already contributing then just become a citizen and keep contributing but now you're a citizen you don't have to worry about it i think i follow the logic there the only only problem i see with the whole daca thing and making these people citizens, it incentivizes illegal, you know, immigration. That's the big argument. I get it, and I agree, but I figure if they're already here, and you got them on TV, and they're crying about, I'm going to get deported back to a country I never came from. Which they're not, by the way. Yeah, just, you know know go start getting your citizenship paper

is going i know it takes a long time oh i get you yes you started yes yeah if they started a while back maybe there would be only 400 000 of them and not yeah no exactly do it right the first time i gotta run here thank good call chris i uh gotta wrap it up here. Yeah. But I heard, who was that? I heard Levin last week make a great point. He goes, okay. They're not being protected by DACA. They weren't going to get deported anyways. Name one president that's rounded up a bunch of people and deported them.

They weren't. Who's that? Nobody. Exactly. Thought it was a great point by the great one, they call him. Anyways, that is it for tonight. Thank you to all the callers, folks. Come see me this weekend, Friday night, Saturday night,

the Newtown Theater, Newtown, Pennsylvania, and on the 29th, Ridgefield Playhouse, Ridgefield, Connecticut. We will talk to you guys same time tomorrow night. Take care of yourselves.
