Nothing scarier than realizing you bit off more you can chew for the first time on the schoolyard. Knowing a beating is coming but not being able to back down is an empty feeling. Good life lesson.
Sweeney is a local legend in Boston. If you live in Boston his comedy is especially funny because he can do all the local neighborhood accents and his takes on Boston and Bostonians are hilariously true. I can still remember some of his routines and I haven't lived in Boston for 25 years. One example: "I love how Bostonians are so friendly and positive. You go in the 7-11 and say, "Wow, it's a really beautiful day today." "The clerk says ''YEAH, OUT THERE! I"M IN HERE, ASSHOLE!"
"It's cold for too much, the women are assholes, the men are assholes, everybody's ready to fight and everyone's drunk, it's a different kind of place" Yeah....Ireland.
The Irish can definitely be forward and drunk, but most of them are happy go lucky and in a joking manner. There are assholes everywhere but the Irish are (usually) happy drunks.
I grew up in Eastie and being Italian at 2am in Southie or Ctown was a tough situation. Northend, East Boston back in the day was Italian section. Loved growing up in Boston, we had the Italian Fiest and Columbus Day Parade. Definitely a different era but I wouldn’t want to grow up anywhere else..
@@Pnutt2469 What was the strip club there in the 90s? The Squire? I remember waiting in line there and the bouncer looked like mobster, suit and tie, older. never felt comfortable but then again I was a naive small town kid from the North Shore.
One night at Play it Again Sam’s on the same bill I saw Steve Sweeney , Steven Wright and Bobcat. I still remember it to this day. I was from NY and went to BU. I dropped out and moved to Mission Hill. Two months later a guy named Bottle Bill got his head smashed in by a group a townies with a baseball bat on my front porch. Boston in the day was no joke. My contractor boss used to ask me what the building inspector drank so he could bribe him. I didn’t get that kind of education at BU.
When I was in elementary school I never started a fight. I had guys try to bully me only to find out I had twice their strength as I put them down with ease. My father told me there was this thing called Adrenaline and that took good care of me when I was challenged. He was a Bare Knuckle Boxer so I was much more afraid of him, if I was to lose, than of the kid I was up against.
Not from Boston--but am a mick and I just mentioned to a friend of mine "If I went a week or two WITHOUT a fight in the schoolyard, it was weird." Today I likely would have racked up multiple assault charges and been sued. It was a different time....
Grew up in Lynn. City of sin. Remember when I was 18, getting into a 8 on 8 brawl in a little league field with bats at 1am. And then playing hide n seek from the cops. Fun times.
Geography check: the Oilies ran into Boston Harbor. It wasn't a tributary of the Charles. It was dredged after the yuppies bought up Boston, but the plans for it apparently fell through. Joe Rocko was an interestingly crazy guy.
I lived in Boston from 4/99-5/2000 and I loved that town. I’m a huge history buff and loved that city for all the history it holds. The Big Dig was going on and I knew a lot of Union guys and cops,they were the type of cops that were cops from 9to5 and at 5:01 were at the bar with you having a couple pints. My buddies were from Dot,Dorchester, and Southie,Irish city kids. I was at the bar a lot when I lived there,Daisy Buchanan’s in Back Bay on Newbury street was our bar. I was there at least 6 out of 7 days a week. I’ve lived all over the world and besides London,Boston had the most bar fights I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if it was because of all the college kids around there getting into it with the local Dot or Southie kids but it happened a lot. It got to the point were I wouldn’t even look in the direction of the fight and just continued to drink my drink and talk to the chick I was trying to bang. I love Boston and had a great time living there. I’m going to go back and visit when this Covid shit is over with cause it’s been over 20 years. Great local people cause they are definitely not fake. If they don’t like you they will let you know,not like LA, and I respect that. I love real people and that town definitely has them.
Boston nuts because its full of Irish immigrants being Irish myself and I've been to Ireland a lot there crazy but in a good way and the fight thing is just an Irish tradition we love it for some reason it's why the Romans never conquered us
Blackstone Pub/Purple Shamrock was always someone staring something, Mickey D's next door take it over there. Lol Its like I am at a bar listening to my dad tell his stories R.I.P Pops
The only time I've been involved in a physical confrontation as an adult was in 1999, when a nutcase came at me in an otherwise empty train carriage in Brisbane, Australia. He copped my boot in his balls, the only thing I could think to do. Luckily he was in loose fitting sweat pants as opposed to jeans or something else a little more protective. Aside from that, I pepper sprayed a guy in New Orleans in 2013.
This legit makes me want to move to Boston, it sounds like they just get in fist fights man to man and when one wins and the other loses, it's over instead of being like Los Angeles where the guy who loses comes back with his primos or a knife or a pistol.
@@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069 it is, but that’s how all big cities work unfortunately. I’m definitely fortunate i got outta there and moved up North
I grew up outside Boston. Sweeney is right about fighting. Nothing wrong with losing, but you have to show up and throw punches. You can’t run away. Showing up with a gun after losing a fight is a real pussy move. You know anyone who does that has a bruised ego. Just take your lumps, no one wins every fight.
Nnnoo... Bill's accent has faded a little bit. Funny thing is Sweeney still has a thick Boston accent but his tone is very chill and soft where Bill has a faded accent but the intense Boston tone is still there.
Grew up 37 miles north of Boston. Went to visit my brother at UMass and a lot of Boston people there obviously. Fights seemed like a nightly event on the weekend. I had not seen anything like that, except years later in Army towns with a bunch of young guys with max testosterone and alcohol with the ratio of men to women in a bar about 10:1) and from some of the dorms you had good seats for the drunken brawl in the parking lot below at 1:27 am.
Bill hurt had this guy on his podcast and both Bill and this guy told the same story to eachother they told to Joe nearly word for word, kinda makes it seems polished
Joe hit the nail on the head when he said the woman in Boston suck !… my friend moved to San Diego after we graduated in the early 80s, the first time I went out to visit him I stayed for two weeks , I got used to the woman waiving to you or winking at ya when you were stopped at a red light. My first day back home after returning to Boston I was at a red light and I glanced over at a girl that happened to be looking in my direction I smiled and threw her a little waive and she promptly and very Bostonly woman like ….checked me the finger
Got sidewalk chalk thrown at me in Boston ahaha To be fair, it was during 08, and my NY buddy an' me had some drinks in us in the middle of the afternoon, shouting, "Sox suck". We're lucky it was only sidewalk chalk lolol Thanks for the mercy, Boston
I got jumped by three kids in the second grade. All four of us were seven years old. This was 1963. Years later all three died tragic unexpected deaths. Karma. Totally true story.
YUP, IV ALWAYS SAID HES A PUSSY. WHEN THAT DUDE STEPPED TO HIM ON FEAR FACTOR YOU COULD SEE THE FEAR IN HIS EYES. ALL HIS FAN BOYS THINK HES TOUGH JUST CAUSE HE LIFTS WEIGHTS AND DOES MARTIAL ARTS.
Streets fighting is dangerous is his main point and it is. Theres no weight classes, you dont know what the other guy knows in terms of skill (real martial art skills/combat not street fighting), and theres no rules, no refs, dealing with cops, etc. It's just not worth it.
Good observation about Seaport being like Dubai. Dubai is a neat place to visit but definitely lacks character or warmth. For one it's younger than I am and secondly, no one there is from there...Not like LA, it's like 85% of the people there are visiting on on visa. Just happened to travel through Seaport while helping out my brother a few years ago. Shake Shack, mirrored business towers, restaurants, but everyone is there for the day or working.
It’s funny but the biggest regret I have in growing up is that I didn’t get into more fistfights. I dunno but it seems to make you more real, unless you’re the guy that starts them. I think that’s part of the problem with most elected officials today. They now have power that they never earned.
Take a left turn after podcast 974 and head straight till you find the Elon musk episode. Then your gonna want to go right and turn off after the junction by episode 1108
The robbers lived in Charlestown but robbed banks all over New England and even Fla. The Town was actually very good and realistic till they injected Fenway Park into it for absolutely no reason
sounds like my home town Windsor ontario its a border city beside Detroit Michigan we call it the armpit of Canada and its true there where so many fights not many shootings just a ton of scraps i took part in a few lol
I was raised in Hyde park and southie all we did was fight half of us are dead or jail the other half wishing they where from my generation not many made it out

"I Offer you out" is the Boston equivalent of throwing down the gauntlet.
That term takes me back
in Glasgow they say "outside square go"
Realistic Industries common parlance in many parts of UK as well
No one ever said “ I offer you out “,.. the term was “ You wanna go “,…. Then they would tell their friend later “ I offered him out “

Too true the women will spread rumours and chat shit to the men which cause the men to brawl amongst eachother
sounds like Scotland too
