Guy in crowd: When are you coming to Syracuse?!

BC: No, we’re coming to Syracuse when Jim Boeheim is no longer the coach. ‘Cause let’s face it, they’re never gonna fuckin’ win.
Guy in crowd: You suck, Billy!
BC: No no, the Orangemen suck. I don’t know a lot but I do know sports and Jim Boeheim is a shit fuckin’ coach.

(Jimmy stops) Okay, hold on a second, Jimmy’s fuckin’ with my shit. Okay, we’re gonna do a call-and-response vocal so I sing a line and then you have to sing a line in response.

BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
Guy in crowd: What are you doing after the show?!

Chicks (with Linda Strawberry)
Linda Strawberry after normal lyrics: Girls, I have something to say. (singing) I really liked your kiss / and your beautiful red lips / make love like a woman / now you egotistic prick / ‘cause dicks, dicks just get in the way, dicks just get in the way / dicks just get in the way.
BC: You wanna go ahead or you come up here and - and fuck on my whole front row.
Linda: Wow.
BC: Dicks just get in the way?
Linda: Yep, that’s what I said.
BC: Well, if it wasn’t for a dick, you wouldn’t be here right now.
Linda: I know, it doesn’t matter, dicks do get in the way.
(song ends)
BC: We love you, thank you.
