BC: Thank you very kindly, thank you. Like to introduce the band to you. On the guitar, from Southern California, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. On the drums, from Beaverton, Oregon, Mr. Michael Byrne. (to Nicole) Where you from?

Nicole: I'm a Western Mass-hole from Ludlow. Hahaha.

BC: Wait wait wait wait.

Nicole: That's why I don't have the accent.

BC: When you auditioned for the band, you told me you were from Siberia.

Nicole: Hahahahaha!

BC: And that you came here when you were a young girl and learned--and you didn't say anything about Massachusetts.

Nicole: Well, I had to get the gig somehow. Siberia...Ludlow, (laughing) whatever. I did it!

BC: (singing) Massachusetts. (speaking) You havin' a good time? Alright, well, don't let me spoil it. Hahaha. Guess what I'm going for as Christmas?--I mean, uh, Halloween, whatever the fuck the holiday is.

Jeff: Wha, wha, what's that?

BC: Did you know what I'm going for as Hallow--in Halloween, whadda, how do you say that?

Jeff: Going as.

Nicole: Going as.

BC: Going as! You know what I'm going as...for Halloween? A well adjusted person. Try that costume this year.

Nicole: What does that look like exactly?

BC: It looks like...(pointing into crowd) it looks like that guy right there!

Nicole: Oh, this guy, hahahaha.

BC: He's got the trimmed beard.

Jeff: It's like stand up comedy.

BC: Got a good head of hair. Heh. Now isn't this...correct me if I'm, is there where Doug Flutie went? (crowd boos) Across the road, what? Where am I? Oh. Oh, okay, alright, whatever, Doug Flutie, he's short and.... Who went here, Brandon Roy? Huh?

Jeff: Howard Stern. Howard Stern.

BC: Who's Howard Stern? Oh, the legendary Howard Stern. Is he your most successful graduate? (to Nicole) Did we mention you're from Ludlow, Mass? (crowd cheers) Heh.

Nicole: Almost from Western Mass...

BC: I'm from--

Nicole: ...yeah? It's nearly one.

BC: Chicago.

Nicole: I am aware.

BC: I'm a Chicago Cubs fan. (crowd boos)

Nicole: Oh, great.

BC: Hey, you guys had your championships, okay, just chill out, it's been a hundred and four years for us. It's been so long...that we've had a championship, we've actually imported an alien named Theo. (crowd boos) He comes from the planet...Quasar. And he's gonna fix everything. And I think to get him, we had to give up like a minor league prospect or something. Hahaha, yes, I know, I know, I know. (pointing) I see a Bruins fan up there. (crowd cheers) How's that hockey season going so far, you guys doing alright? (crowd boos) Hey...I'm not the one on strike, okay? I'm here with you tonight, not on strike. I'm a centrist, I'm working with you. I take a little bit, I give a little bit, we find a common middle, we move forward. So this may shock you but we're about to play another sad song. We have a litany of sad songs. Who's, who, who's dressed up for Halloween tonight? (Jeff points at Mike) Mike? What are you goin' as? Heh heh heh, rock star, somebody said.

Jeff: Ha!

BC: (gesturing at Mike) Does that look like a rock star?

Nicole: Ow! Hahaha! I think so. I'm gonna go with Mike for Halloween.

BC: What are you goin' with?

Nicole: I'm gonna go with Mike.

("boi-yoing-yoing" sound effect)

BC: You're gonna go with Mike?

Nicole: Yeah. I was gonna borrow his sweaty drum clothes.

BC: (pointing at Mike) It's more like "surfer without an ocean." I only joke at this portion 'cause I can't breathe. Just like to catch my breath after those hits. We had a few hits.

Jeff: A few, a few.

BC: A scosh. This song is not a hit. Which, uh, means for some of you, this is a bathroom break type of song. Or a cocaine song. Or a same sex marriage song. Whatever you need in this song, this song has it for you. Actually, there is someone dressed up like Doug Flutie. He's got cocaine, okay, good. Heh, security didn't hear that part. Is this a good song for cocaine? No.

Jeff: Ah, probably not, yeah.

BC: It's more like a weed song. (crowd cheers)

Jeff: Yeah, definitely. Maybe shrooms, the shrooms.

BC: Oh, you guys like the ganj here, huh? Is it legal here yet? Or is this more like a Rohypnol kind of town?

Jeff: Pills.

Nicole: I don't know but in Western Mass, it was Robitussin. That's all we got.

BC: Alright, this is a Rohypnol type of song that I wrote for my father...or in honor of my father, Bill Senior.
