But, um, so that's it.
So my next big gig coming up is I have, uh, what do I got?
I got Montreal, the Montreal Forum, whatever the fuck, the Molson Center,
or the fucking, uh, the Timmy Horton fucking hoedown,
whatever the hell they call their place up there.
I got that thing coming up.
So looking forward to that.
Um, you know, Montreal is a beautiful, beautiful city.
And, uh, I can't wait.
And this is another way for me to practice my French with those fake French
people.
You know, because I know that, like, real French people laugh at people,
French Canadians, like the way they pronounce their words,
that they're not speaking real French.
It's just fucking hilarious to me.
Like, it's like, yes, they are.
They're just somewhere else.
So the accent is a little different.
Stop being so fucking precious.
Oh, you know what my dream is?
My dream is to be able to be totally fluent in French,
go to Paris, do a show in French, and just trash them.
You know, and just be speaking beautiful French as an American,
in shape, who traveled, speaking another language,
destroying all of their stereotypes about Americans,
and then making fun of them with their pocket squares.
You know, and their hoity-toity fucking attitudes,
and their accents when they try to fucking speak English.
Um, that's what always has amazed me about the French,
where it's like, literally,
they get offended when you're, like, butchering their language,
and then they turn around and speak English to you
and start butchering your language,
and you're supposed to be like,
all right, I guess it's okay when you do it to me.
So, anyway, um, um, I actually watched a couple of really, uh,
amazing, uh, French, one documentary and one movie.
All right, I'm gonna go with the first one.
There's this movie called The Wolf's Call,
Le Chant de la Rue,
or whatever the fuck they say in French.
Um, Le Chant de la Rue, something like that.
Uh, The Wolf's Call,
and it has one of my favorite French actors.
I hope I say his name right.
It's Reda.
English way, you'd say Keteb.
I'm sure I'm not saying it right.
Um, he was in that great prison movie,
A Prophet, 2009.
You gotta check that one out.
It's fucking incredible.
And, uh, but this was a,
a military drama about nuclear submarines,
and, um,
it's, uh,
just was done top fucking notch.
And, uh, the twists and turns,
because they've done,
like, this story has been told before
about a nuclear standoff and all that,
and just the way they did it,
and the way they shot it,
and the acting was just fucking amazing.
It was really, really amazing.
I highly recommend it.
If you don't mind reading subtitles,
uh, but the acting in it,
and the directing,
the cinematography,
and all that,
it's just crazy.
It's called The Wolf's Call.
It's on Netflix.
And then I saw another one.
It was a documentary called,
uh, Wonder Boy.
It's about this French designer,
Olivier Rousting.
And I'm sure I'm saying it wrong.
Because, believe it or not,
I am not that much in the, um,
fashion world.
You wouldn't know it to look at me.
You know, to see, you know,
my Malcolm Young
jeans and t-shirt style that I have.
Still look like I'm unloading trucks
in a warehouse.
Um, I didn't know anything about it,
which is why I watch it.
That's what I do on Netflix,
because I try to watch
the most random shit
I can possibly watch
that's good,
so I can get
a better mix of shit
in my queue,
or whatever they call it.
That's why, you know,
you watch a little One Punch Man,
a little Japanese anime,
you watch a French documentary,
you're all over the map,
you know.
Because I told you,
a long time ago,
I watched one of the,
I watched two seasons of Narcos,
and then every fucking thing
on my front page was,
behind the scenes,
San Quentin,
Aryan prisoners,
the rules they live by,
behind the walls.
You know,
and then they have
all those guys,
you know,
speaking with their voices altered,
and their face all blurred out.
You know,
when I was behind bars,
one of the rules was,
if a motherfucker came in,
and he says,
he's here,
we call him,
we stab his ass.
So you're saying
you'd sharpen your toothbrush,
and you could make that
into a weapon?
That is what I'm saying,
bitch.
It's like,
you know,
I don't want to watch that
all the fucking time.
Right?
So,
so this Wonder Boy thing
is really fascinating,
and,
it made me think about
a lot of shit
when I was watching it.
He's basically
an incredibly successful
person,
great looking dude,
like he,
like he was sitting there
with all the supermodels,
and when he was in the photos,
he was as good looking
as they were.
He looked like,
like one of the models,
but he was the guy
who actually was designing
all of the stuff,
and,
uh,
he's adopted,
and the,
the story is him
trying to find
his birth parents,
and his feelings about,
despite growing up
in this house
where he felt like,
you know,
obviously you could see,
like his adoptive parents
loved him,
his grandparents
were unbelievable,
um,
all this love,
but just not knowing
like who he was,
you know,
because of his skin color,
he thought maybe
he was half white,
half black,
he was looking
at his facial features,
and he just had to guess,
he just wanted
to fucking know,
right?
So,
um,
and the,
the director,
I know I'm gonna say
her name wrong,
Anissa Bonifant,
I don't know how to say it,
but,
was amazing,
the way they told the story,
the way they put it together,
it was really beautifully,
um,
shot and everything,
and,
um,
I mean,
I guess,
I don't know,
they got 23 and me now,
but I always feel like
they're just doing that
so they can make
the fucking robot
replacement of you,
but I remember,
uh,
you know,
growing up,
you know,
when roots came out
and stuff like that,
and,
and black people saying,
like,
what it felt like
to just not know
where you were from,
have no history,
none of that type of stuff,
like,
how that,
like,
you know,
it's like if you,
whenever I moved,
even if I go to a new city,
I want to read up
on the history of it
so I can somehow
feel rooted in it,
just as a person
to not know
where you're from
and who your parents are,
and all of that type
of stuff,
it made me think
about all of that,
like slavery,
how you did that
to an entire race
of people,
just how crazy,
like,
all of that
is in this kid's story,
you know,
I don't know,
just not having
grown up like that,
I would have thought
that,
you know,
if you got put up
for adoption
but you had
the awesome parents
and grandparents
that he had
that,
that could take
the place of it
and I saw
that it didn't,
man,
it's,
and,
you know,
he finds out about,
you know,
stuff about his parents
and stuff
that obviously
blows his mind
and everything like that,
I don't want to ruin it
but you should definitely
check it out,
it's called
Wonder Boy
on Netflix,
look at me,
old-cultured Bill
watching a couple
of French movies,
I'm telling you,
I'm going to get that,
someday,
one or two things
are going to happen,
I'm going to be able
to play good times,
bad times,
every time I get close
I get busy
and I got to fucking
go back down
to 80,
85 BPMs,
god damn it,
or I'm going to become
fluent in French
or maybe I'll do both,
I don't know,
anyway,
uh,
