You're unaware of this, but I'm president of the Bad
Analogy Club, and I think you're gunning to get into
the club with that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I like, that's pretty fast.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
The Bad Analogy Club. I love that. I love that
I'm president. I'm not just a member of the President.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
In fact, a listener made a plaque for me with
some kind of fancy wood making equipment.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's over at my desk and it's got a microphone
and says president. Really it's President.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's good for my ego.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh dude, I love that. Okay, So I got a
question for you now now that you're single, is is
being a comedian like being a rock star and like
all the all the twenty year olds are throwing themselves
at you.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, except like forty year olds, which is great, Like no,
I mean like that sounds like I'm being demeaning to
forty year old women, but you're I am getting like
I am getting like all these foxy ladies in their forties.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'm in my forties.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
But it's also in a way sort of a box
of broken toys, you know, that are being like coming
after me, like like you know in Toy Story, the
toys where it's like like the Barbie with the g
I Joe head.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Like like there there's a lot of those coming after me.
I was.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I was just out at a bar the other night
and this I was. It wasn't even a show night.
I just I flew in a day early, like I do.
I went to the bar to have, you know, an
old fashioned and this gal came up and she's like,
I'm a big fan.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And I was like, oh, thanks, just can I get
a picture?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And we get a picture and then she's like I'm
a big fan, and I was like, oh, oh okay,
I think this lady might have some cuckoo issues. You know,
she's cuckoo for cocoa pups. And so I leave to
walk back to the hotel, which is only a few
blocks away, and then she leaves and walks after me,
and she's about fifty feet behind me, and I'm like, okay,
(04:21):
you know, maybe she's staying at the same hotel. Just oh,
what a coincidence that we left the bar at the
same time. So I get in and it's one of
those fancy hotels where you have to deep in the
elevator deep the thing to go to your floor, and
so I deep it and she goes to the elevator
and she goes, well, I'm staying with Peelee. He's my
(04:43):
boyfriend and we got into a fight and he just
like walked ahead of me, and so I just need
a key to get up there. And I was like,
I had no idea. Well, anyway, I remember when I
moved her chair. When I moved her chair to take
the picture, I was like, oh, her purse.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Is really heavy.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And I was like, oh, that's we Yeah, this is
where this is going anyway. So so she's like, I stay under.
I like, I now have enough fans that I stay
under an assumed name, and let's just say the name
is Betty Davis or something weird like that. Well, she
didn't know Betty Davis to get into my room. So
then she pulls a glock seventeen out of her purse
(05:19):
and holds the lady at gunpoint, just the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Lady at the front desk.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's like, yeah, I'll I'll ring you up for the
freedoms that you want from the thing or whatever. And
she goes, you know what, I'm gonna make you a key,
but I have to make it back. So she just
locks herself in back, calls the police, The security comes,
the police come, and but you gotta understand, like this
lady got arrested for pulling a gun on a lady
in the lobby. To try to get some of this,
(05:43):
and what you have to understand, like I called, I
called my brother. He goes, Pete, that's really scary, and
I go, I heard, still got it? Like still got
it when you go through a divorce, and because I mean,
you're you're basically in a house when you're going through
a divorce where like nobody wants you, like you're not
having sex with anybody else. And then she doesn't want
(06:04):
to have sex with you, so nobody wants to have
sex with you. And this lady, she she did an
armed robbery to try to get to this. So I
was like yeah, yeah, And that is a weird phenomenon
when you first get together with whoever you're with, you're like,
you know, you're doing it all night, all day, and
you're like, oh, I mean irresistible, and then you get
into it and you're like, wait, I am resistible. I
(06:26):
am the most resistible. Like my ex would look at
my junk like it was laundry. She's been mean into
fold like I'm gonna do that, but it's gonna take
me two to three days to get to this load.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We're talking with Pete Lee's playing tonight at seven point
thirty and comedy works out at the Landmarks and then
Friday and Saturday nights at seven fifteen and nine forty five.
Producer A Rod wants to know if there's now a
restraining order against the Glock seventeen lady.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, I haven't seen her.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think she was really hammered because she didn't come back. Also,
I think the whole whole weekend that was in Madison, Wisconsin,
I think the whole weekend that I.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Was there, she was.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Because that was on a Thursday night of a holiday
weekend basically, and so I think, Uh, I think she
went to jail for the whole weekend, so I think
she probably forgot about it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I don't know. Maybe she's how I die. I don't know.
But what a relief. Oh my god, that's well, at
least you'll die, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And like she's you know what, She's coming for all
the right reasons.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And I think if if I think, if she comes
at me with a gun, I'm gonna let her have it.
Huh No, it's not worth fighting for. I'm gonna I'm
gonna take one for the team.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
She was a foxy lady, but just uh uh, tell
me about some of the stuff you're doing related to
football and NFL stuff. Oh yeah, So I had a
show on the internet called I had a show called
After Further Review, and uh it was sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It was called unsportsman like conduct. And then I ran
it on YouTube. And you know, at the end of
every single NFL broadcast it says like, do not rebroadcast
any of this without their images, without the express written
content consent of the NFL. So I just would do
a YouTube show where I'd take all their footage and
all their photos and just do jokes about the NFL
(08:17):
every single week, and it was a hit because there's
no comedy about the NFL. You can't you can't joke
about it. So then they messaged me and said, hey,
you know, we're lawyers of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You need to take that down.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And it was for some reason YouTube just wouldn't take
it down, like they couldn't get it taken down, and
so I just wrote no. I just wrote back now,
which is not my style, like like I'm somebody that's
so pleasant that like like somebody says bless you, and
I don't want to offend them the like happy holidays,
you know, like.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Like I don't want to offend anybody.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So I just didn't take it down and it kept
getting more views. Then finally they passed around the office
like can you believe this jerk? Like he said no
to us, like how do we get this taken down?
Finally some producers of the NFL network like, oh, we
have to do a show like this. So we wound
up doing a show called After Further Review, which was
basically me doing the same thing, but on their network.
(09:09):
It ran for three episodes until Roger Goodell saw it,
which Roger Goodell is you know how everybody like hates him,
me too. I like, he's he canceled my show because
he said that he goes was the NFL.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
We shouldn't be building a brand and then eroding it
through humor. And I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
God, dude, everybody loves anybody that can laugh at themselves.
Sure right, yeah like that. I don't know, like that,
that's all you need. So Robert Roger Goodell and his
uh and his his chin, I mean, his dude, his
neck looks like the inside of a hot dog. I
don't understand how the most athletic league in the world
(09:52):
as a guy that's the head of it, that has
that chin.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And doesn't that dude make thirty or forty million dollars
a year something like that?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
He makes some I'm in saying amount of number to
do nothing like there there are, dude, there are cornerbacks
that are like getting concussions and all all that kind
of stuff. And Roger Goodell just eats steak. I think
he eats breakfast spaghetti. The way that his face looks, and.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
My god, So how do you really feel about Roger Goodell?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah? I love him. He's really great. He's not paying
me anymore. So I don't care.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
But and now I do a show called Top Tens
where I intermittently make fun So that's that's what I
currently do for the NFL network.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
But so you're still working with them even though they
cancel that show.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, And it's funny because you you'll go into the
offices and they'll they're like the owners get together all
the time, which is one of the funniest things in
the world. That like, because I'm I'm a Green Bay
Packers fan and we hate the Bears.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh the Bears. Uh, you better not root for Bears.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And like the literally like like the owners of each team,
they just they sit down and they eat and they laugh.
And because it's the NFL is really like it's a company.
It's one company, and there's profit sharing and and so
it's one company. They the NFL is basically like if
PEPSI got you to root against Mountain Dew and then
(11:11):
they're just sitting in an eating steak with Roger Goodell
in his face and and it is. But that being said,
I know all that, like I know how the sausage
is made, but I still am like.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You better not be a Bears fan. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I mean, I get it. I lived in Chicago, I
know the rivalry. Not really a Bears fan, but I
did live there for a while. And I'm thinking about,
what's that.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
How are the Broncos doing? Though? Much better? Were they?
Eight and five? Yeah? Eight and five?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And at the beginning of the year, I made a bet,
which is a big bet for me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I got five dollars for me. Is a lot, dude.
I don't know if you're gonna be able to pay
your mortgage.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I know. And and the bet was the Broncos will
win six or more games this year. So that's that
was the expectation. The over under was five and a
half on total wins. There at eight already still games
to Oh and our rookie quarterback Bo Nix is just
doing amazingly well. You know, a lot of people were
questioning that that picking him that high. Yeah, and now
(12:10):
it's looking really smart.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
I even if he yeah, even if he doesn't have
a good end of the season, I'm still gonna blame
Russell Wilson. That's how that's how I am about the
Denver Broncos. Yeah, Russell Wilson last year was like, oh
my god, I saw a hot girl wearing his jersey.
I'm like, oh my god, hot chicked that loves failure, Like,
oh I dot to, I want to get married to
(12:33):
a gal with a Denver broncos Russell, Like you could
be terrible for a whole year and she'd be like, oh,
maybe he'll be good next year.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, meanwhile, he goes to Pittsburgh and he's lighting it
up and he's lights out.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, which they needed, I mean, because they they haven't
been good since they had old Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I went there and they're like, you mean big.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Ben, and I'm like, no, old, Like do you remember
at the end of his career, he just just she
had been knocked around so much. Oh god, that guy.
I oh my god. I met I had a dinner.
Can I talk to trash about Ben Roethlisberger. I had
a dinner with him, and and this lady at the
table was like, how did you meet your wife? And
she's sitting there, how'd you meet her? And he's like, uh,
(13:13):
we we met. Uh I asked her to dance, and
I know how he met her. She's a stripper and uh,
but this lady wouldn't let it go.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
How'd you meet her? And finally I just like grabbed
the lady's arm.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm like, lady, let it go, And uh, this isn't
that funny how people are like he went through that
whole thing about like strip clubs, and they're.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Like, how's it.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Everybody's like, what's this wife gonna think about it? I'm like, well,
she was there.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Like so is this public knowledge or do you just
happen to know what?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
You can google it? You can google it. Yeah, It's
just that's what it was. But I don't know, like
I think when you're I think when you're an NFL player,
you're not really you're not gonna meet at the at
the church social you know you're you're gonna meet Uh
it depends.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
If you're one of the top most famous then maybe not.
But a lot of these dudes. So we're we are
the Broncos, so we own the Broncos coverage and this
is a fifty thousand watt station and we got lots
of affiliates, so people are hearing, like right now, people
are hearing this in multiple states and then they're in
the Broncos games.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's even bigger.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
And so one of my one of my favorite things.
The best perk of this job, Pete, is that usually
once or twice a year, although it's three times this year,
I get to hold the sideline microphone.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Are you kidding me? Yeah? It looks like a little
plastic satellite dish thingy.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So I've done it three times this year, and so
I'm on the sideline and until like most of these players,
nobody would ever recognize if they were out in public.
It's only like the quarterback and then all the other
dudes are like they're weren't their mask almost all the time. Yeah,
Like you'd have to be Aaron Rodgers. Well we can't
talk about him anymore, right, but you'd have to be
(14:50):
Jordan Love. You'd have to be recognized.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, you'd have to be the building that I'm staying
in here at the Landmark. They they they are a
lot of the NFL players, and it's weird because yeah,
they're not they're millionaires, but they're giant. And then, uh,
one of my one of my best friends, he used
to play for the Packers and you know how he
doesn't do that and he hosts a radio show and
(15:16):
he's just he's just that big and he does your job,
and he just has to be that big for the
rest of us, Like, like, you're being that big is
only great until you're like thirty three, and then you're
just that big and you have to ride on airplanes.
It's ye Like he's always like he's like, I'm a
big guy. I'm like, yeah, well, you know, have fun.
(15:37):
I know that I know that you you got a
huge unit, but I know you're uncomfortable on airplanes, and
I would actually, I would take that trade off forever.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's what I want, all right, all right, Yeah, I'm
glad you're a huge NFL fan.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That's a huge NFL fan.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And by the way, the thing that I said, like
another thing about the NFL is that they protect Have
you ever notice that they make people be broadcasters afterwards,
they make them be a part of it. Uh, And
then as soon as they decide they don't want to
do that, the NFL stops protecting their secrets. You're Dan
Marino had that mistress and then the kid with the mistress,
and it never came out until he's like, dude, I
(16:15):
can't do these CBS games anymore. And then all of
a sudden they're like boom, we're not protecting you anymore.
Brett Fire, same thing right, Like, like he was like,
I don't want to become a broadcaster. Then all of
a sudden we hear about all the picks he's been
sending to people or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So oh, man, well, uh just.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Just think about your favorite NFL person. Dude, Tom Brady's
doing broadcasts. What do they got on him? What do
they got on Tom Brady? Although he doesn't care, though
I don't think he cared. He did do the roast,
and I think if there was dirt on him, I
think it came out.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, and he and he let he let all that
happen with a smile pretty much.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh yeah, but yeah, I mean, oh my god, al Michaels, what.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Do they have on that guy? Why is he still
doing it? Tell us a little bit. I got about
two minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Tell us a little bit about growing up as a cheesehead.
What's it like being a cheesehead? Oh my god, I dude, Wisconsin.
You you eat till you hiccup and you drink till
you hiccup. Like people always say like, oh, you have
a Wisconsin accent, And I'm like, no, I don't think
that Wisconsin people have an accent.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I just think that we learned how to talk from
drunk adults.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I think my dad was like, do you want to
go to Kenner garteny And I was like, ell, I'm
gonna Pete. Wisconsin is one of the most fun places
to go. And you know, the Packers we got lucky
because we you know, we had Brett Favre and we
had we had wacky Aaron Rodgers Man, that guy, that
guy would be He's like, he would just be great
(17:43):
if you just shut up.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That guy.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
He is an odd dude and he's doing He would
have had one of the greatest legacies in football had
he just just retired and shut up. But he's such
a drama queen. And then now yeah, we uh, I
don't know. Yeah, now we have Jordan Love and it's
it's phenomenal. But we've had a good run of football.
But like you know, Denver, you guys weren't very good
(18:09):
at football last year, right, and everybody around here is like, oh,
this is bad. The Packers can be bad at football.
Still sold out people will go just to watch them lose.
And we have sportsmanship. We clapped for the other team.
I remember I was at a game where Eli Manning
through uh through a pass and the guy had a
one handed toe dragging touchdown and the whole stadium clapped.
(18:32):
And my ex, who is an Eagles fan, which they
threw batteries at Santa Claus, was like, why are you clapping?
Like because that was a great play. We didn't share,
but we clapped, and she's like, you guys are really weird.
We are, Like, I'm I'm surprised I don't have knuckle tatoos.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Is let's say, geez Louise, like, I love that story
about clapping for the other team.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I hadnnoyed.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But football is are religion there, espersally because it's it's
got to.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Be the smallest market that has an NFL team, right.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah, I mean there's there's a you can google it.
There's an Airbnb house that is just like the stadium
is just surrounded by normal houses and one of them
you can rent it out for like five grand and
but yeah, you what you do is you park in
the neighborhood around it, and then you get you get
a pack usually like a fridge pack of beer, and
then you trade beers for like food, like oh this
(19:21):
lady's frying cheese curds in her driveway.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And so you trade a beer.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
So that's how they stock up for beer for the
whole winter, is that they cook for people and they trade.
You can just buy a beer. You don't even have
to make sausages for people. But that's how down home hometown.
Uh yeah, I my ex that's an Eagles fan. She
went there and we went to watch the Eagles versus
the Packers. And she's dressed in full Eagle skier and
(19:46):
they're like, oh, let me make you a bloody Mary,
let's do a shot. And she's like, these people are
so friendly, but like four houses down she was like
throwing up in another lady's toilet and she's like, see
this is how we get Yeah, we don't talk trash.
We make you ill. Like oh yeah, the Packers fans
will just poison you with the poison that Oh my gosh.
(20:06):
Do you remember in Princess Bride where the guy like
consumed the poison so much that he wasn't affected.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
He was It's like the spy trick. Oh, you do
a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
The poison every single day so that you you don't
get poisoned. That's what Wisconsin people do with opposing fans.
