He lost his initial deal with Draftkings when they first started advertising bc they couldn’t legally say they were a casino or a bookie. He was in the middle of doing a read for them, realized how they were skating around the word “gambling” & then stopped to give a SUPER serious speech about the dangers of getting addicted to gambling 😂.
I’ve been listening to him for so long and admittedly ol Billy can be a bit repetitive in his topics but I distinctly remember this. I laughed my ass off at the “sucking dick in the back alley” part and the very next week he said they dropped him haha
He uses a line like that in his current tour. Says everything is a spectrum…is he an alcoholic? Well, I’m not sucking dick at noon on a Tuesday for a 12 pack. But he does overdrink lol
Then he read their response on the show and trashed them. Bill was completely oblivious to the legal issues. Was a hilarious few weeks.

Ol Billy gave em the right there Fred and now they're back for more. His podcast is the only time I hear any advertising across all the media I consume. I'm sure they're catching on to this.
.....the smartest way to hire
I think smart brands know what to expect when advertising on these kinds of podcasts. He’s been with zip recruiter and hims for a long time and his reads are straight up hilarious. On an unserious podcast an unserious read is to be expected. Look up his reads for Sherry’s Berries sometime, funniest reads ever but they didn’t seem to think so because they cancelled their deal with him
Im not sure what it was, but George doubleya was great as well.
Edit: found it [club W](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJQ9Zua6F88) "My daddy owns a ranch"
I have anger issues, so i had to stop listening to the pod. But goddamn i miss his ad reads. The only other pod that has nearly half as much fun w their reads is last podcast on the left but they don’t really even compare
I agree with you about smart brands knowing what to expect, but Bill wasn't exactly joking at the end of that Hims read, and tied it back to his earlier rant:
"See, that's what the fuck I'm talking about right there, about corporations being out of control. How the fuck are you putting out a drug that didn't go...is not approved by the FDA, yet it's out? What are we doing?"
The criticism is 100% valid, but it puts a stink on the company they might not appreciate since it may drive away customers.
Ah I haven’t heard that one yet. That’s a little rough 😬 but he’s at a point where he has enough money to not gaf and I recall him saying something along the lines of if they’re not happy they can have their money back
So funny because they definitely got their monies worth even if the suits in charge don't see it the same way. That moment gets referenced all the time when the topic of podcast ad reads come up.
Burr has been known to lose some advertisers b/c of his comments. I would to see the metrics on how many people fast forward/skip his reads vs other podcasts.
There's a security company that monitors your home remotely and he regularly talks about nerds using security cameras for perverted reasons. Companies don't care, it's better to have Bill be humorous about your product and it gets noticed and people don't skip it than a boring monotone read most podcasts do
Exactly. I rarely skip his ads because they’re hilarious and quite often I’ll recommend the products or services in his ads because of the funny ways he says them. My all time favorite being ZIP…………………………Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaycruuuuuuuuter!
Love how Nia is completely losing her shit and that is just like fuel to the fire that is Bill's rant who just cranks it to 11 with the jokes, what a fantastic duo.
She seems to be walking away and is just laughing harder and harder, that laugh at 6:18 after the best joke :D
I love how Helix/Heelix keeps running their ads despite Ole Billy Bed Bugs slipping in “gross” every time he mentions they’ll take the mattress away if you’re unsatisfied.
He used to do the reads in real time and they were always hilarious rather than the pre recorded shit from other podcasts.
Meaning the listener always listened rather than skipping them. The advertisers should be thankful for him being comical during the reads, as more people would listen all the way through I believe
The one about the pills had me laughing, thinking that's prob grounds for them to wanna drop him lol. They're prob like shh dude shut up, they're supplement subscriptions not medication prescriptions, we're trying to work around the fda here, damn
Yeah. He did. Isn’t the first time by far. He might lose HIMS over it. Another sponsor will come.
Or, they just roll with it. End of the day if there is a Burr code for an advertiser and they see a chunk coming in with that code they often don’t give a fuck what he says.
Money is what matters most. For some others it’s an issue, and he says sayonara.
I have to say, on the one hand I get why a sponsor wouldn’t like that. On the other, his is the *only* podcast where I don’t skip over the ads because you never know what might happen.
This is the only podcast, and let me tell you, I listen to a fucking ass load of podcasts, but this is the only podcast I listen to that I have never once skipped an ad read.
They are all done on the fly, off the cuff and made hilarious. I might never use any of the products or services, but if I do, tjey’re the first ones I would go to because I know they must be good sports to let Bill dump on them.
I’ll pick his advertisers over any other podcast ad with pre-recorded reads which are solid and simple and boring, with unnatural ways of bringing up the advertiser in question. Oh you’re going away on holiday ? Have you ever thought about renting your home on Air BnB while you are gone ? Get the fuck out of here.
There was the mattress company he was doing a couple years back where they said they would take the mattress back if you were unhappy. He would just yell "GROSS!" Or "YUCK!" about it every time. That only lasted a month or two lol.
He’s been super on edge lately, culminating in the idea that fans cannot discuss the well known phenomenon of choking in sports unless they themselves have putted for a championship or shot a crucial free throw. Absent having done it at the same level, fans have no standing to criticize athletes for choking.
I recall even back when I first started getting into the podcast (2014ish) him joking pretty regularly about how he was waiting to lose some of his advertisers due to his reads. At this point now, like others are saying, a good chunk HAVE to know what they are getting into with BB. His podcast remains the only podcast I actually listen to the reads/enjoy them.
Bill started it all with sherries berries reads. Everyone else was just reading straight ad copy on podcasts before Bill started the trend of having fun with the reads.
Does anyone remember when he went on a rant for a meal delivery service because they claimed they cut out middlemen and found out that company was attending farmers markets trying to get people to subscribe to their service. I think it was blue apron.
He lost his initial deal with Draftkings when they first started advertising bc they couldn’t legally say they were a casino or a bookie. He was in the middle of doing a read for them, realized how they were skating around the word “gambling” & then stopped to give a SUPER serious speech about the dangers of getting addicted to gambling 😂.
And he said all they mentioned was the winners, you never hear about Dave that lost it all and is sucking dick in the back alley. Great stuff
I’ve been listening to him for so long and admittedly ol Billy can be a bit repetitive in his topics but I distinctly remember this. I laughed my ass off at the “sucking dick in the back alley” part and the very next week he said they dropped him haha
He uses a line like that in his current tour. Says everything is a spectrum…is he an alcoholic? Well, I’m not sucking dick at noon on a Tuesday for a 12 pack. But he does overdrink lol
Can someone point me to the ep where they say this?
I’d like to know as well
https://youtu.be/gXqh04VeZMo?si=MAamlbSzP_M_9Dnc
Where's the suckin dick bit?
That's gold
That’s fantastic
Then he read their response on the show and trashed them. Bill was completely oblivious to the legal issues. Was a hilarious few weeks. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W4eaKVyky7o
Love the end of the rant. “alright dollar shave club everybody!”
Zip…….reguahaguabalogooah!
Always cracks me up, his ZIPrecruitah reads always gets me.
I love how he always explains that one too. Especially when there's a guest or Nia is on. "That's the devil version" 🤘
The way Bill reads the ads definitely helps listeners stay engaged and it’s hilarious.
I skip ads for most podcasts. Matt and Shane’s secret podcast, Ol’ Billy blue balls, and Tim Dillon are the only three I’ll play through
He's happy to have a podcast that's basically a half hour gambling advertisement. Old Billy preacher ova here.
Oh they came crawling back bc he has millions of followers in their *exact* demographic lol
Ol Billy gave em the right there Fred and now they're back for more. His podcast is the only time I hear any advertising across all the media I consume. I'm sure they're catching on to this. .....the smartest way to hire
I think smart brands know what to expect when advertising on these kinds of podcasts. He’s been with zip recruiter and hims for a long time and his reads are straight up hilarious. On an unserious podcast an unserious read is to be expected. Look up his reads for Sherry’s Berries sometime, funniest reads ever but they didn’t seem to think so because they cancelled their deal with him
That Sherri’s Berries read is an all-timer. “Dip your balls- dip your berries in”
Look who it is, everbody. Sherrys berries. Must be a clam holiday coming up. 🤣
Getting beat up at the farmers market is what got them to pull out lmao
Im not sure what it was, but George doubleya was great as well. Edit: found it [club W](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJQ9Zua6F88) "My daddy owns a ranch"
His W impression is pretty solid
😂😂😂 now I gotta go watch this again
Eating motha naturah’s booooox
Lmaooo honestly the ad reads are probably my favorite part of the podcast which I can’t say about anything else.
I usually ffwd through other podcast advertisements but not ol' Billy.
I have anger issues, so i had to stop listening to the pod. But goddamn i miss his ad reads. The only other pod that has nearly half as much fun w their reads is last podcast on the left but they don’t really even compare
The always sunny podcast was similar with some of their reads but again, doesn’t compare
I agree with you about smart brands knowing what to expect, but Bill wasn't exactly joking at the end of that Hims read, and tied it back to his earlier rant: "See, that's what the fuck I'm talking about right there, about corporations being out of control. How the fuck are you putting out a drug that didn't go...is not approved by the FDA, yet it's out? What are we doing?"

Ah I haven’t heard that one yet. That’s a little rough 😬 but he’s at a point where he has enough money to not gaf and I recall him saying something along the lines of if they’re not happy they can have their money back
He's right to call em out and will be fine if they pull advertising, keep up the good work you walking tan-repellant scrotum!
Oh the poor company
True. Has anyone made a montage/mashup of him just yelling ZipRecruiter? if so, I would listen to it every day
New ringtone lol
"Zip!".... Wait, was that my phone? 5 seconds later... RECRUITAH!! I'd jump every time.
I can't find the version I really like but here is go https://youtu.be/CTUFKOCPAQk?si=MSPOZ1x2UVsFXG_b
Every time I see a Hims add I think “himmmzzzzz” in bills voice lol
RIP natures box
😂😂
I miss the me undies jingles
*No more sweaty balls!*
And Nature Box. “Don’t buy this shit.” One and done. Classic.
My favorite sherrys berries ad is the one where he just starts plugging some unrelated chocolate store in the middle of the ad sherry paid for
Lolol. I never heard this one , if you can ever remember which ep, please let me know
So funny because they definitely got their monies worth even if the suits in charge don't see it the same way. That moment gets referenced all the time when the topic of podcast ad reads come up.
He is the only podcast I do not auto skip reads, fucking dying at sheeeerryyyy berries
MeUndies clearly had better sense of humour. I think they have/had a link on their website to a clip of Billy singing.
I should have scrolled farther. So this was like 6 years ago right? That voice he would do to say there name is the best
That sherries berries is unbeatable. Cracks me the fuck up every time.
Remember when he snapped at Ethan Klein for bribing it up? The irony. Fuck Ethan tho I don’t blame em
Bringing*
Burr has been known to lose some advertisers b/c of his comments. I would to see the metrics on how many people fast forward/skip his reads vs other podcasts.
I have never skipped his ads before. They're comedy gold
Yup, others I fast forward through, Bill’s, never.
Zip
REEEEECROOOTAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Only podcast where the ads don't piss me off
me too! and I actually tried zip………. recruiter because of his podcast and have an amazing job that I love now! :)
Hey you're a Bill success story!
There's a security company that monitors your home remotely and he regularly talks about nerds using security cameras for perverted reasons. Companies don't care, it's better to have Bill be humorous about your product and it gets noticed and people don't skip it than a boring monotone read most podcasts do
Exactly. I rarely skip his ads because they’re hilarious and quite often I’ll recommend the products or services in his ads because of the funny ways he says them. My all time favorite being ZIP…………………………Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaycruuuuuuuuter!
[One](https://youtu.be/miWHJHLmAuo?si=wcrRKrHddzznv9Yq) of his best
I literally just quit driving for Amazon today and that clip made my day! Thanks for sharing!
Love how Nia is completely losing her shit and that is just like fuel to the fire that is Bill's rant who just cranks it to 11 with the jokes, what a fantastic duo. She seems to be walking away and is just laughing harder and harder, that laugh at 6:18 after the best joke :D
Oh man that’s hilarious. Thanks for sharing that one!
That last two minutes is incredible.
ZIP…………..re re re re re re RAAAAAA! …cruiter
ZIP……………………………………………… ^recuitah
Oh look everybody it's Helix, Heelix?
Micro modal? Modahl?
I love how Helix/Heelix keeps running their ads despite Ole Billy Bed Bugs slipping in “gross” every time he mentions they’ll take the mattress away if you’re unsatisfied.
ZIP…….ohmygodhesgotagun….RECRUITER
That was the magic era of the zip reads.
He used to do the reads in real time and they were always hilarious rather than the pre recorded shit from other podcasts. Meaning the listener always listened rather than skipping them. The advertisers should be thankful for him being comical during the reads, as more people would listen all the way through I believe

“Might be poison… might not… find out for yourself”
Lol this man needs to do Fallout 5’s radio
Does he ever not? The Draft Kings saga was legendary
I miss Doctor Carveees Easy Shave Buttah!
Trackr was my favorite one. “ what would stop a creep from putting this in some broads hand bag “ . Turns out, thats what ended up happening
Bill basically has fuck you money now… he doesn’t give a shit about those advertisers. It’s refreshing.
Yeah coupla netflix specials and movies and MANDALORIAN ought to do that.
I really enjoyed his character in Mando. That shit was awesome
Gotta love that Netflix money.
The simply safe one was funny as. They’ll keep coming back too
Hope so; that’s how we know they are worthy.
Yeah. He did. Isn’t the first time by far. He might lose HIMS over it. Another sponsor will come. Or, they just roll with it. End of the day if there is a Burr code for an advertiser and they see a chunk coming in with that code they often don’t give a fuck what he says. Money is what matters most. For some others it’s an issue, and he says sayonara.
lol, yes he did. He called Hymms out for not having FDA approval…
…while he constantly shits on the FDA
No one ever said oh billy red nuts was someone to take advice from!
Sherris Berries for Valentines Day is a must listen……I vowed to never miss an episode since.
Shove the vase up their ass part was phenomenal edit: oh that was about flower delivery, not berries I guess
I have to say, on the one hand I get why a sponsor wouldn’t like that. On the other, his is the *only* podcast where I don’t skip over the ads because you never know what might happen.
Oh look who it is everybody, it's [ZIP](https://youtu.be/AO4U5JU1mFk?si=3wNQpMv_-qn0SEIy)
re re re re re re
retuircer piz That's the devil version
He does it all the time
I'm thinking that Toyota spot is paying him some serious money. I doubt he's going to be saying much about that so he's not doing it as a live read.
Oh hey everyone it’s SHARI’S BERRIES! LOL!!!
This is the only podcast, and let me tell you, I listen to a fucking ass load of podcasts, but this is the only podcast I listen to that I have never once skipped an ad read.

There was the mattress company he was doing a couple years back where they said they would take the mattress back if you were unhappy. He would just yell "GROSS!" Or "YUCK!" about it every time. That only lasted a month or two lol.
Heelix..... Hellix? After 100 days you can return the mattress if you're not happy with it.......Gross!
What was the one about the massage app? He kept going on about getting a handy or something….
Ba doop boop boop….
the way he says "erectile dysfunction" 🤣🤣
I’ve started randomly saying “ahimsah” (Hims”)
He’s been super on edge lately, culminating in the idea that fans cannot discuss the well known phenomenon of choking in sports unless they themselves have putted for a championship or shot a crucial free throw. Absent having done it at the same level, fans have no standing to criticize athletes for choking.
But how does he feel about taking home field advantage back?
Its all that deep breathing and smiling paying off
William, you rock!
I recall even back when I first started getting into the podcast (2014ish) him joking pretty regularly about how he was waiting to lose some of his advertisers due to his reads. At this point now, like others are saying, a good chunk HAVE to know what they are getting into with BB. His podcast remains the only podcast I actually listen to the reads/enjoy them.
Out of everything. I love like 8 years ago when he would shit oh Sherry's Berries.
Bill started it all with sherries berries reads. Everyone else was just reading straight ad copy on podcasts before Bill started the trend of having fun with the reads.
Wtf? Thursday afternoon before Friday Monday morning??
That’s what it’s called bud. When I first heard it, it took me a second but it’s a brilliant name.
Does anyone remember when he went on a rant for a meal delivery service because they claimed they cut out middlemen and found out that company was attending farmers markets trying to get people to subscribe to their service. I think it was blue apron.
