BC: Thank you. I can turn into that guy any time I fuckin’ want. You know, I was in a record store recently with my friend Jeff here.... Where were we, Jeff, Australia?
Jeff: Uh, yeah.
BC: Where do they have koalas?
Jeff: Australia.
BC: Australia. You wanna hear my joke or not? Do you just want us to get the concert over with so you can go home and fuck, what do you wanna do? Fuck or rock, fuck or rock, those are your choices.
Jeff: Same story divided.
BC: You wanna rock, what do you wanna do? Both. Okay, we’re gonna do both, we’re gonna rock, then we’re gonna fuck. Actually, this was a true story, this is not a joke, although there is a joke in the true story. Yeah. So Jeff and I are shopping, right, and we’re just minding our own fuckin’ business.
Jeff: Oh, I remember this story.
BC: Yeah.
Jeff: Yeah.
BC: And we’re--me and you are looking at like the My Bloody Valentine reissue, right?
Jeff: Yeah, yup.
BC: Right, okay, very good, yes. Available now. And this dude comes up and he’s like, “Hey man....” Australian accent, sorry, I can’t do it. “Hey mate....” (sound effect of “yeah right”) “Hey mate, I really like your new album.” “Aw thanks, that’s pretty cool.” True story. (pause for applause) And then he comes back and he goes.... Why are you giving me the finger, big bald guy? Why you giving me the finger? Don’t you have enough rage already? Do you throw some more around? I love you, man, I’m just fuckin’ with you, all good, all good, all good. I’m sorry your woman wants to fuck me, I’m sorry. (to Mike) Cowbell. Where’s the fucking cowbell? (2 cowbell taps from Mike) There you go, when are you gonna learn? Alright, so...so he comes back and he’s like, “You know, I just want you to know I liked you better when you screamed more.” And I go, “Oh, you don’t think I scream enough anymore.” He goes, “No, no, mate, you don’t.” And I go, “I’m sorry, I got old.” So then he walks away. And then he comes back again. And he goes, “Hey mate, can I have a picture?” And I go, “No, fuck you.” And he goes, “Why not?”
Guy in crowd: You’re a dick!
BC: “‘Cause I’m a dick.” You know, these--these young boys, they jack off to me screaming and they just can’t get over it. I get it, I mean, I get it, the high voice, the sharp crooked teeth.... Hey, you know, I’m just joshing.
Jeff: Ouch.
BC: Somebody’s uploading to YouTube right now.
Jeff: Widescreen.
BC: Okay, we got a few more songs if you wanna hear ‘em.
