Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byrne. It's time for the Thursday afternoon just before Friday, Monday morning podcast. And I am checking in on you.

You know, I do this show. I usually you know how I do. I usually talk here to myself. I usually babble. I usually ramble. And then I try to read out loud. But every once in a while.

I have a special guest. And this is one of these Thursdays. This man is here to promote his new book. Everybody is awful except for you. That will be you can preorder now. And it's going to be available on Amazon Barnes and nobles and all this stuff. Please welcome Jim Florentine everybody.

It's good to see you Bill. Thank you for having me back. Man, you like I did the big build up. I said the book. I did the whole thing. I was waiting for everybody to sit back and try and guess who the hell it was going to be. You know, and then I then I then I dropped the name on it. That's old school showbiz right there.

That is because in like who could it be? Maybe it's, you know, someone hasn't talked a while. Maybe he's getting a Louis CK exclusive. Maybe Louis going back. Yeah. Maybe he's coming back and he's going to do what I'm Bill's podcast. And you know, we were just talking about Dave.

You might as well dive in that whole me too thing. It's just like obviously had to happen everything. But it is such like a bully environment, even like the bullshit one. If it's a bullshit one, you can't say anything.

Like recently one came out and it was just like, all right, this just seemed like this woman wanted a famous boyfriend. And it didn't happen. And then in the end she went on her friends blog or some shit and trash this guy.

And I can't even name names before all these fucking lunatics start coming at like there's no. There's no like, hey, hey, let's let's let's examine this. It's just all this person said that that means that's how it happened.

That's how the whole thing went down and let's burn down this person's life and their entire ability to earn a living is a little nuts. Absolutely. And me being a single guy out there. Absolutely. You don't know. Jesus, what do you like sign in triplicate before you even like?

I'm trying to get like, you know, Shaxx contract. I used to sign or Michael Jordan or whatever. It's supposedly had a thing where they would sign like they're assistant. Okay, you go in the hotel room next door. You know what's going to happen. Sign here. Yes. This is. So he's a consent.

You consent order. And then you know what you're going in there and you guys are going to have sex. And that's it.

I don't know about funny one of the funniest things that I've read as far as I just all this extreme mindset that's out there about politics that's out there about about this me to start everything is just you have to be like all the way on the other side of room against the wall or all the way on the other one is.

Oh God, dude, I'm getting so old. I literally forgot my point right in the middle of it. I swear to God, I was going to make the greatest point. I literally just fucking what the fuck was it? Oh, I know.

There's going to be a lot of this, by the way.

A coercion is not consent is what they said when you coerce somebody into doing something that is not consent. So that was second like, okay, does that mean I don't have to pay my bank loan this fucking month on my on my on my car loan.

Everybody don't want this man. You want the turbo man. You come around the corner. They hear in that engine. The whole fucking world is coercion. Everybody our whole business. Everything you anytime you sell anything any of it.

Have to shit my wife does to me.

If coercion is not consent and women actually stuck by that would brunch still exist. That's a good point. No guy. If you actually could do you want to go to that. No, I do not. And then she can be like, well, my thank you.

That's coercion like because you immediately like, oh, fuck, I don't want to cry.

Any time a guy goes to brunch, he's taking the bullet on something.

My word the worst is when they come up. They said it's going to be like 40 minutes. Is that going to be can you still stand like you have the option of saying no, I mean, I say no.

That's why I fight with my wife so much. No, let's get out of here. Yeah, I can I can literally Google how to make fucking no pun intended eggs.
