What was the book Bully Ray mentioned today on the show and where can it be found? I can't seem to find anything on amazon or Jim's website.

I'm a grown man, you're not supposed to drink soda or eat candy, grown men don't do daaaatt, I listen to heavy metal and wear heavy metal tshirts everywhere I go, I fart on airplanes and take pictures of my dumps and post them in supermarkets, I'm a grown maaaannnn

Between him and Eddie Trunk they've made metal not fun to listen to, they take it and their opinions way too fucking seriously, and they're both suck ups who should be working in a bowling alley while living in their mother's basements. Their opinions are literally worthless, and the older they get, the sillier they look.

Metal and music is a young person's world. Let them have it. Stop lecturing them on how and what to listen to.

Its not that metal itself is for young people. Its that they like shitty immature metal for the most part and act like 14 year olds about it. I love metal, various genres of it, but their show makes me want to vomit. That is not a good gauge of metal or metal fans. I don't know any actual metal fan who likes Jim or Eddie and thinks they are interesting or knowledgable about this stuff.

It's not that it's for younger people, it's just that Jim and Eddie are out of touch. If it wasn't made in the 80s or early 90s, or it isn't from a long established band they know fuck all about it. They don't even come across as slightly knowledgeable about the kind of metal that they claim to listen to. Jim basically only knows about Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath.

That's how I'd say it!

I'm a grown man, I pee in bottles and set it under the seat like an incontinent adult that can't make it to the bathroom in time because I might miss 6 minutes of KISS.

You guys must have man-caves

He's a 55 year old alcoholic dork who non-ironically listens to KISS but wants to tell people how to live their lives like "men." He's Frank Vincent with shittier taste in everything. I really look forward to his book: A Guy's Guide To Being A Douche's Douche.

Brilliant? It is just Grumpy Old Man schtick.

Agreed, that and pseudo-Heavy Metal love. "You know if you don't think Linkin Park is metal than you are a fag. lispy fag voice ssssss I only listen to Cannibal Corpse in my man cave while calculating my fantasy football scores or something sssss. Did I ever tell you one of my Load Warrior stories from back in the day?

he banged Robin Quivers though

who non-ironically listens to KISS

Ironically listening to any music is retarded. But I agree with your overall point.

Okay, what I meant to type was "Sincerely enjoys KISS, an inferior Alice Cooper that was bested by GWAR almost 30 years ago"

He has openly stated he does not care for KISS and bashes the "KISS Army"

If you are going to bash him, root your complaints in fact to gain credibility

How to get girls whilst watching FUCKING SABBATH UHHHHHH.

It really is all about his delivery. I'm not sure if it would even be remotely funny if someone else is saying the same things.

It isn't even remotely funny when he says it. He's a boring Jersey hack. I think he might be worse than Bob Levy.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

Drinking game - when Florentine is on, drink every time he says "Phenomenal".

Jimmy sucks up to him so much, he used to use the word constantly, too - and IIRC, was called out on it on the show.

Sometimes Florentine's shtick gets a little trashy and tiresome. But I've seen him live and he killed. Not a Burr/CK, but well worth the price of admission for a club.

And for all of his talk of being a tough manly man, he is absolutely a humble little sweetheart off stage. I like 'im!

i can't find that book either

I really used to like JF. But his whole being a mans man thing is starting to get very tiresome
