I have a big family and they're spread around multiple countries. So a few years ago it was my brother's wedding and most of them decided to come. Great news, but a big problem. Where do you put eight people all with different requirements and keep them all together? We looked at some hotels but then it was obvious get an Airbnb. My mom and I were able to find the perfect place. It was a big house with multiple rooms and in a part of the city with woods

and walking trails all around. The Airbnb also included a huge kitchen where we all got together the day after the wedding for a big family meal. This is a cherished memory for my family and me. And whenever I drive by that location, it always makes me smile. Not long ago, my mom and I stopped by that area to walk around and remember one of the most special times for my family.

Whether you're traveling with friends or with family for a big wedding or justification, get an Airbnb. Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byrne. It's time for the Monday Morning Podcast for Monday. podcast. Firm Monday, December 18, 2020 tree. We are one week away from Jesus' birthday. Hey, Suce, if you're from a different part of the world. Hey, Suce's birthday. Jesus, the J star, the son of God, the boss's son, the trippy hippie, the shirtless wonder, the fucking long haired miracle, right? The finalist child, the little bastard, his fucking dad's literally invisible. It's his birthday, happy birthday to Jesus. What do you say there? Hey, Sus What the fuck are you waiting for? I don't think you're gonna come back

We didn't treat you nice the first time Ma, let's probably what's happening cuz going what you got to go down there and here I fucking go back down there Look it was a long time ago, things have progressed. Have they? All right. You know, Dad, I mean, you fucking made him. Why don't you go down there and deal with it? That's kind of fucked up though that he sent his son down to deal with us when it was his mistake. Is that where that whole thing came about with the son pays for the sins of the father? Is that what it was? I have no idea.

I was actually a religious historian in a call, yeah, I can't even, do you guys wouldn't believe that for half a second? No, I wasn't. I was not, oh my God. Can you imagine I'm in a right-up paper on fucking Gandhi, or whatever religious person? Is he religious?

He was a dude, right? He was a guy. And he kind of looked like Ben Kingsley. And Ben Kingsley played him. And he won an Oscar. Gandhi was Gandhi, and he got killed. And I think that that's what's wrong. Steve Jobs compared himself to Gandhi or whatever the hell it is he feels this company

was doing. And then he did that and then he died. Cursor Gandhi, I think is that a real thing? Anyway, and then there's also Christmas shopping. I think is that a real thing? Anyway, and then there's also Christmas shopping. Did you do all your Christmas shopping? You fucking kids, the Alasias Christmas Shop, and you just go on the internet and give me one of these.

And this size, what color? Let's just scroll through. Is this fucking model? One picture with 48 different fucking colored shirts and only gets paid once. And then you're all done with your shopping. Let me press the GIF wrap button. I still go to the stores and I got all this shit. I bought all the stuff that I need to get and then I got it all I got it all wrapped up

Already gift wrapped the whole thing. I just this week. I was like I'm wrapping five gifts a day And I'm just gonna knock this thing out. I'm not gonna sit down all at once. I'm not fucking doing that you know Rapping starts off you handle it with care. However that thing goes Sure that St Nick soon will be there, right? And by the third package, you just like, fuck this, right? And you just, you know, wand it up. Remember my dad was the worst.

My mother was the best at wrapping gifts. You could always tell the ones that my dad did. You know, especially it was like a shirt. Maybe just fucking roll it up like a newspaper with the, with the, the, the, look like a giant crumpled up piece of, uh, uh, gift wrap. And then you just sort of giant piece of tape over it. Um, yeah, that was not his forte. Um, anyway. So I hope you guys got all your Christmas shopping done. I hope you guys got a Christmas shopping done. I hope you're gonna have a nice one, you know, a nice Hanukkah, a nice Kwanzee, a nice J-Star,

a fucking Santa Claus thing or whatever it is. You know, hopefully people will be nice to one another. Maybe in 2024, you know, you could stop hating somebody for dumb fucking reasons. You could maybe shut off your fucking TV. And that, or, you know, I swear to God, if the next president would just shut down CNN and Fox News and eliminate the ability for people to make comments

on the internet, like the level of peace that he would bring to this country. And I am saying he, because we all know at this point, it's a man's job. All right? If it's a woman's job, how come you haven't gotten it yet? You know, you ever think about that? Let me guess, that's our fault, right? Ladies, do you ever take responsibility for your own actions? You know, I don't think you want the job. I really don't because it's been my experience that if a woman wants something, she gets it. All right. Now that fucking job has been available since fucking Ben Franklin was walking around goose and chicks and hoopscarts.

And you have yet to get that job. Who's run, I'm trying to even think women that have even run for it. Hillary famously did not win the Democratic nominee and the Democrats famously gave it to her anyways. Typical fucking broad move. She didn't earn it. Oh, give it to her anyway. And then what happened? And then fucking Joe Biden, the second woman to run for president. He didn't win it, right?

Oh, Bernie Sanders got the fucking Buffalo Sabers 1999 in the crease treatment. Fucking twice. Happened twice. You know, I was thinking about the Buffalo bills and they're losing four super balls in a row. The only one you can really break their balls about when you think about it is the redskins lost right if you look at the the fucking new york giants in nineteen ninety they had like three hollow famous on their defense

they had loren's tailor the greatest linebacker of all time arguably the greatest defense of player of all time alright they had who else they have? They had Harry Carson, Leonard Marshall, Chip Banks, and guess who was coming up with a defensive scheme? Bill Bella check.

All right, you're not winning that one. So, you know, who gets a fuck they missed a field goal? Get the fuck out of here. It was amazing that they were even in that goddamn game right. And then they went up against the Dallas Cowboys two years in a row, the Dallas Cowboys, the product of the worst fucking trade in NFL history, the Herschel Walker trade. They got like 10 players and for some reason in the contract. It said if Jimmy Johnson cut any of the, any players that he cut, he got, he got the Vikings number one picks. So they signed the deal and he immediately

cut all 10 of them. And then they got all those picks and then he just fucking scored with so many of them. I mean, they have to have fucking team is in the hall of fame. So the only one I'll give him is they lost to Joe Gibbs and the redskins with Mark Ripian and the genius of Joe Gibbs is that he won three super balls with three different quarterbacks, right? Joe Thysman, Doug Williams, and then Mark Ripian, you know, that's the only one I give him, Greta, but the other ones, I mean, who the fuck was not gonna lose? I mean, the only people who beat the giant,

the Patriots, who beat Bill Belichack are the giants, right, and he was on the giants. Man, that was just fucking, it was open and shut, right? Oh, I know Philly fans have probably upset that they're not getting that. And I always forget that we lost the Eagles. You know why? Because we won one the year before it and the year after it. And it's just like, and plus that was the goofy as Super Bowl I've ever seen in my life.

Like there wasn't a punt until the fucking fourth quarter. So I don't know what that was. I hated that game. I hated that game as much as I hated that Kansas City Chiefs Buffalo Bill's game, whether it was just no fucking defense. The final score was like 78-77. Anyway, speaking of football, speaking of football, you know, this is something that I, you know, I'm not the smartest guy. What you feel?

We never would have noticed with the first half of this fucking podcast, the first 10% of it I should say. You know, the Michigan Wolverines, they get suspended for stealing fucking signs, which I get it in baseball, not as a baseball runner. I get why the Astros were in trouble, because you know, there's like five signals in baseball. One's a fastball, two's the slide.

Once you figure that out, you know what the fuck's coming and you add, you know, the fact that they had, they were wearing wires, they had a fucking camera that banging on trash cans, they gave the opposing pitcher a roofie, whatever the fuck they would do. I mean, they did everything. I get why they got in trouble. Well, I mean, they weren't really cheating. I believe it was, it's now labeled as, the championship was complicated. You know, the NFL, I mean, that's NCAA in football,

they're doing so much to disguise the signals, that how the fuck would you know, you know, what's going on? You're lucky if you get one or two of them right in the second half, okay? But that's considered cheating. So they fucking punish the Michigan Wolverines. And then meanwhile this week, the Michigan Wolverines are going up against

the Alabama Crimson Tide. And guess what Nick Sabin did? Guess what he did? He hired Michigan parted ways with a coach, a linebacker's coach by the name of George Hilo or as Kenny Federer would say, hello, they hired one of their fucking ex-coaches and for some reason who coached with them in 2021 and 2022 and for some reason that is illegal. That's totally fine. Stealing signs, trying to figure out what is that slice of pie next to the fons? What does that mean? Trying to figure that shit out, that's cheating, but you can hire one of their former coaches

and just sit down with them and be like, all right, so what's their playbook? When they show us this look, what does that mean? That's not it. Come here and ask you guys a question. What would you rather be doing? Would you rather be having your team on the fucking sidelines trying to steal signs? Or would you rather hire the other team? One of the fucking ex-coaches

that as of the beginning of this year was still working, or the last season was working with the fucking team. Oh, the hypocrisy. I don't know, for some reason, that's okay. Nick Sabin and Alabama, they're not cheating, but all those Michigan Wolverines, Jesus, Christ, what are they doing to the integrity of the game? So obviously Michigan knows it. So then what they can do used to their advantage is they

can just show these looks and do something completely different. And then you're going to see Nick looking over at George going, what the fuck, George? I thought you said that they were going to do, you know, whatever the fuck they talk about there. It's so stupid. Just always know that whenever, whenever in football, if you get busted for that shit, that means you pissed off somebody at one of the higher ups. And it was kidn who, you know, Jim Harbuss said something fucked up to somebody, shook somebody's hands, you know, squeezed it too tightly, slapped somebody on the back, he'd be, you know, and they of the fucking readjust their glasses

on their own nose. You know, he did something like that. That's what I'm guessing. Because I don't get how, you know, that's not, that this should be like a time. Like all right, you know, you want to hire somebody else's former fucking coach, you know. Isn't that a thing too? It's not like they hired him because they liked him. And I thought he was a great fucking coach

They hired him because he coached Michigan and now they're playing Michigan in the playoffs playoffs That's why he's hiring him. He's hiring the guy So they can know what Michigan's doing so he can basically Be in their fucking locker room Which you're not allowed to do that's cheating, but you can hire one of their fucking coaches Just for the sole purpose of doing that You know what I mean? They're gonna stick that guy in a fucking Airbnb in Alabama and the second that games over They're gonna give him some fucking, you know

Sa's barbecue with the mayonnaise base and tell him to hit the fucking bricks But that's totally legit. Not a problem. Oh, what I got to tell you something, man. I went to the Kia. Kia. The Kia Forum, home of the great showtime Lakers in the 80s. And what a gorgeous

iconic fucking building that is, versus the fucking Bitcoin, fucking collapse of society, fucking staple center thing that the Lakers playing. I mean those fucking arches, that place still to this day has an amazing vibe. So, I went there Saturday night That place still to this day has an amazing vibe. So I went there Saturday night to go see Queens of the Stone Edge.

And I'm tired, the kids are wiped out and that type of shit. But as Queens of the Stone Edge, I gotta go. And I gotta tell you, I'm so fucking happy I went. It's one of the best concerts I've ever seen. And I've seen Queens of Stone Age at this point. I think five times, they have never been better. They've never been better. Nia, is that you?

No, hey, let me finish my podcast. I'll be out in a minute, okay? Okay. All right, I'll be out in a minute. Um, anyway, it's what happens when I do the podcast and the house. So I was like totally wiped out and I went down that it goes see him. It was fucking on. But they sounded better than the fucking recordings. Um, I don't even know where to begin. How about we begin at the beginning?

They started off, right? They come out, they play all this like old school fucking music and shit. Then the lights go out, everyone goes nuts. You see the shadows going on the fucking stage. Oh my god, here they come. And then they just open. Banch, banch, banch, bampie, to bampie, bampie, bampie, bampie,, banch, bampie to bampie, bampie, bampie,

whole fucking place, jumping up and down, going fucking crazy, and I don't know, that was the end of the tour. I hope you guys had a chance to catch them. John Theodore on drums, you know I'm a fucking drum nerd.

That guy was on a whole other fucking level. And like I said, I've seen like, like four different times, like, fifth time seeing him. I've never heard him sound better. I never heard his drum sound better. Josh was killing it on guitar and singing. He sounded better than the fucking record. Like, I don't know how you do that. in the fucking record. Like, I don't know how you do that. Their bass player, Mike's out there and a fucking wife beat it, dude.

They came like, it wasn't like the end of the tour, drag and ass. They came out to chop everybody's fucking heads off and they did it. We had a guy's Troy and guitar, Dean on keyboards. It was fucking amazing. And this is how good they were. I'm 55, I'm bald, and I'm tired.

And I fucking stood up for the whole show. Other than they had one little thing, they had one little, where they played some slow stuff, and they let the older folks sit down. And I knew what they were doing. They were recharging to dent just fucking Destroy and then they they you know Consume felt like it was like literally 11 minutes long. I was like why how how can this be over?

How can this be over this fucking fast? It was like, you know, it was so fucking awesome It like flew by and then they came out they did three songs for the encore and they played two and Josh was talking to the crowd. And then John Theodore's hi app was going, I heard the keyboard start. And I'm like, oh, fuck, they got to play songs for the deaf. And they're fucking dead. You get it, you get it, you get it. You get it. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. Blom. and get in, boom, black, black, black, good job, boom, boom, black,

black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black,

black, black, black, black, feedback, walked off stage, epileptic seizure, light show, and then it was just over, it was all dark. And you were just like, what the fuck just happened? It was fucking awesome. So thank you to them for ending my year. And like one of the coolest things I've ever been to, I went with D Del Rey

and we were just losing our minds. It was just that. I looked at and right after it right after I immediately just looked right at him and I was like dude that is like It's that like you're one of the best ones you've ever been bento. We also want Billy Row Right he was saying the same thing. I was like that's the best thing for the sound he goes absolutely high water mark Fucking amazing amazing goddamn show and then it was just over and then you just walk out into the night into the cold Like what the fuck was amazing fucking amazing so You know, I don't know. I'm just you know That's one of the ones if they're coming at at town, you gotta go see them. Incredible goddamn show. So, I did that this weekend.

What else did I, oh, you know something? I, oh, I waited to tell, talked about this other thing. I actually had a daddy daughter day today, you know, barely watched any football. And I'm kinda thinking like, I'm kinda gonna start letting go of sports. It's just like, my kid's a young one. It's like, fuck this shit. I'm gonna go miniature golf, and I'm not gonna fuck like I'm kind of going to start letting go of sports. It's just like my kids are young ones like fuck this shit

I'm gonna go miniature golf and I'm not gonna fucking sit here and see I might by goddamn bets are doing right? I mean, I'm still you know betting on football. You know what? You know Got to have something right so I We went miniature golfing and We had a great time, actually played really good. My second time playing the course, you know, just getting a lot of pars. I was kind of like trying to like not go past the hole. And I beat my six year old daughter, so I was pretty proud of myself.

I didn't hold back. I just went out and played. You know, I beat her like by 20 strokes and, 20 strokes and it's the only wish she's gonna learn. It's old school parenting. Not weird a good time. And then I went over to the batting cages afterward, right? And I had my daughter film me and I have not tried to, I'm gonna batting cages and I don't even know when.

I think the last time I was in my in cages and I don't even know when. I think the last time I was in my 20s, I hadn't been in there like fucking 30 years. So I get slow pitch softball. First one comes in, swinging a miss. Second one, swinging a miss and I'm just like, what the fuck? And then I made contact on every other one of them, but just kept hitting grounders, right? I finally got one that looked like it would be like a fly out to left field. Then I had one nice one that would have been over, you know, a short stop, a white short stop. Let's be honest, that jumps like me, right?

Latino dude probably would have got it. Everything else was just fucking, you know, it was all to fucking short, third, and pictures mound. But I still, I was like, you know, it was all all to fucking short third and pictures mound But I still I was like, you know 55. I'm not bad. I mean, I was up there I was wiggling the bat and shit, you know, I'm thinking I'm fucking up there looking a little like, you know Gary Shethield, you know, I'm staying relaxed a little Ken Griffey Jr. Effortless swing My daughter film me I went back and looked at the footage. If there was a possible way to burn cell phone video footage, I would do it. I can't even believe what I looked like.

I had the fucking bat down in my waist. I wouldn't even hold in it up. It was beyond old-timers game. I looked at that shit and I was like, oh my God, I am 55. Like, my body didn't even look like it was communicating with itself. You know? Look like my brain,

like someone just bought me and I was like remote control and they were still trying to figure out like how to work the mechanics of it. It was a shit show. So of course I go home and I'm going on YouTube and I'm trying to look up videos on how to improve your goddamn swing. Like so the next time I go there in 30 years and my fucking mid 80s, I don't embarrass myself.

It was still a good time. Until I looked at the footage, like I came out of there, I was like ear to ear grin, head on a batting helmet, I felt like a kid again but holy shit. I think oh my wife didn't see that I mean that's it was like grounds for divorce. You know what I mean? Like watching me in a batting cage if my wife came up to me and literally said to me I am no longer attracted to you physically I would be like hey you know that tracks I mean I get it.

So how are we gonna work this out? I was speaking to my wife, I learned something today about women, I think, for the five ladies that listen to this fucking podcast, so I talk about fucking football and NCAA football and batting cages. You need to up your female demographic. That's what I noticed today. You need to head on her big clothes. You know, I go, look, I don't know.

I was just like, you know, I was trying to, you know, you know, get something going today. And she just wasn't having it. And then it finally done away to me. She's got her big clothes. You know, so I finally looked at it. I get it.

I get it. Because I said, come on over. You know, snuggle with me. I'm watching TV. Come on over. She's like, no, I got to kind of, I just finally took her in. I was like, all right, I get it. I get it.

She goes, what? I go, you got on your big clothes. It's because, she goes, you make it fun of what I'm wearing, I go, no, you got on your big clothes. You know, you got the oversized t-shirt on, you got your big fucking sweat pants, you got on your big clothes. Big fucking slippers, I get it.

I get it, you want to be left alone today. She goes, what are you talking about? You're needy, big clothes. And she just starts laughing. She could stop calling me that. But I know it was so silly. I knew if I just call them big clothes. She'd keep laughing. You got on your big clothes.

I think I figured something out. Much as she was laughing and I was joking around with shit, I think that when it's the weekend, if your girlfriend or wife has on their big clothes, that just kind of means it's like, listen, I am not a sexual entity whatsoever. I am here, I am chilling, okay? I don't even really want you to talk to me right now. All right, I got on my big clothes.

I think consciously, they're thinking, I want to be comfortable, but subconsciously, they have on the antithesis of getting into the club for free, getting a free drink, attracting attention. They just like, they got on their big clothes. So I'm just gonna let you guys, anybody out there in a relationship, right? When your wife or your girlfriend has on her big clothes, just let it be, let it be.

And that could actually work for you later on. Cause you know them, I mean, they put so much worth on how they look and they'll blame fucking advertising and men fuck that. That's the, like how hot you look for a woman is like a guy back in the day, what can you bench? You know what I mean? Like how much shit can you pick up? How much can you kick the shit out?

It was all about being strong and women it was all about being pretty. It always has been, and there's nothing to it, it always will be. All right. You know what's funny is the no makeup trend, right? But they always try to get that thing going and just not enough women get on board. They just say, now I'm a fucking doing that.

I'm not gonna walk around and look how I really look. It's just not happening. Okay? I like getting gift bags. All right, I'm getting a bra that's pushing the girls up. I'm putting on my fucking face. I'm getting my hair done. I want the free shit to continue.

I don't know. I know part of that is because of us, but I think that they blame us way too much for that. There's a whole other thing going on there that I'm not even gonna try to figure out because I'm a guy, but I will tell you this when your wife or girlfriend has on a big clothes, it's just like, all right, that's it. I see it. I see what's going on here. You know, I'm going to, I'm going to, I, I received that. Is that what you supposed

to say now? I hear what you're saying with your clothes. And I will fuck off. I will stay on my side of the couch. I'll leave the fucking room. You know, she was one more big article of clothing away from me just getting up and just maybe just going for a drive. It's just like she really needs to be alone. All right, so keep an eye out for that. The big clothes, the big clothes, there's a lot of things that are being said, you know, don't even let her even let them, no, the 90 style is coming back. By the way, everybody's loving the 90s. It was the worst fucking decade ever for fashion. All of those oversized fucking clothes.

Everybody was walking around, looking like they just dropped 80 pounds. And they had a bunch of loose skin under their shirt. It was fucking horrible. The chicks walking around with those big, stupid, boxy jeans, they had on their big clothes. They had their big clothes and they grew out their bushes. And that's what really happened in the 90s. And nobody wants to talk about it. It's big cover up, you know. And that's why Henry Kissinger finally died because they

were trying to distract from that story. It's fucking, that's all true. You can look it up. Anyway, I still been working out. Been doing good. Been staying away from the goddamn suites. And I flew a couple times this week. I finally got, you know, been pitching the idea for the next movie. Pitches have been going great. So people are interested.

We'll see what the fuck happens. Think I got another great idea for a movie. We'll see. We'll see. And so the other day I had to bring my little two-seater out to get, you know, every 50 hours they change the oil, they go over the whole fucking thing, make sure everything's right. So I had to go fly it and drop it off somewhere, man. And it was just like, it was a fucking gorgeous, gorgeous god damn day, just a beautiful day. Like this time of year, once the Santa Ana wins fucking die down. And I don't know why, I don't know why, but the skies are ridiculously clear. I always say this is the time of year

when people go up in helicopters and they take pictures of downtown LA for the postcards, you know, for the tourism. Does anybody buy postcards anymore? These back in the day. And you see downtown LA and behind it is like snow cap mountains. And I would always see pictures of that

and I would just be like, when is that like, was that taken from the stealth bomber where you can see like fucking from downtown LA to like Utah like what what are those snow cap mountains that mount baldy. It's this time of year. So I did one of my favorite transitions of any airspace is the the sub-pulpit of Boulevard over LAX 2500 feet and you just get to see, you know, what a fucking bravo airspace airport looks like for real pilots, commercial airline pilots, not jerk offs like me. And it's amazing at 2,500 feet, you know,

looking down. It's funny is like the airport itself where all the people are. You can't believe how small it looks. It's like kind of fucker all those people in that little else than compared to like the runways and all of this shit where the jets are. Like the airport where all the people go,

looks like it takes up 10% of the land. It's really incredible. But it's funny, you go over that southbound transition and then you immediately have to get on with Hawthorne airport. And then you get on with Torrance. And then you can fly down, go around the palace for a useful insulator.

You come out the other side, you're down near Long Beach, you fly over the Queen Mary. You get back on with Torrance, you fly over the Queen Mary, you get back on with Torrance, you fly over the Queen Mary, you make your radio call the Long Beach, it's just fucking, it's so cool, so goddamn cool. Anyway, so I kind of have a little bit of time off right now, so I'm going to be doing that, just fucking zipping around on this beautiful goddamn weather.

All right, I think I covered everything I wanted to talk about. All right, let's do some advertising reads here for the week. Oh, by the way, when what the fuck happened to the cowboys this week? They didn't even show up. Goddamn Buffalo bills did. Good for them. And look at the Buffalo bills. Everybody writing them off, including me.

These motherfuckers could win the goddamn division. Buffalo bills did good for them and look at the Buffalo bills everybody writing them off including me these mother fuckers Could win the goddamn division now Nick crow with them with the with the Miami dolphins down there. He needs to win. I guess one more fucking game And the next two weeks, but the next two weeks the bills ain't playing shit and the dolphins had the Eagles and somebody else somebody else tough shit and the dolphins had the eagles and somebody else, somebody else tough. And fucking the bills have like the chargers who, Jesus Christ, they quit on their coach Thursday night. They just fucking quit. I know her birds out or whatever, but what a way to fucking send your coach out, man,

they didn't even show up for that fucking raiders game. And I thought the cowboys, i don't know what happened today is that all you have to do is just sort of smash them in the mouth and then they get all like well i thought you know i knew you're playing tackle i didn't think it was like tackle tackle like they kind of got uh... they kind of look like little boys up there in buffalo it's up that i didn't know there's another josh alan in the leak

any place for the jaguar's how come i only know this is this like you know during cancel culture why do we only know about the white josh alan it the other one plays on uh... not like josh alan plays on the jacks of ill jaguars and I got the fucking Ravens and this guy is a goddamn problem I learned about him cons what's going if he's going the Jags are going if he's not going they have a bad game Well, guess what he was going when I

Just one of those weird games. I watched a couple of when I came home after the miniature golf and embarrassing myself humiliating myself in the batting cages. I still got the bat around though. I'll tell you this man, you come in to my fucking house and I got a bat, you know, I got a fucking 30% chance to hit your melon.

I don't know what it is. It says Bill, good emails. The efforts for Frank email came from someone who didn't know it ended and heard on the throwback that you were, that you were ending it. I included the email to throw the show back in the ether before Christmas. Oh, okay. Yeah, let's start watching after some family again. All right, F is for Frank. This person, right. Okay, for those of you, you know, new to my podcast, I did an animated show with the great Mike Price from the Simpsons, the co-creator, we did five seasons on Netflix.

We were one of the first hits on Netflix in North America, right after House of Cards. We got there second, like that second guy that stepped on the moon. And the show is over. I guess this person didn't realize it. This is like, well, remember those stories where they was like Japanese soldiers that for decades were still hiding on islands thinking the war was still going? I mean, the level of dedication.

You should look that up, man. That's fucking wild. That's a wild thing there. Okay, this person says, efforts for is a frank okay this can't be true my husband just told me that you announced on your podcast your done i'm so sad you should really reconsider what when the fuck did i say i'm done

uh... email came from someone who didn't know it ended and heard on a throwback. Oh, they heard on one of the throwback Thursdays that I was ending it. Well, I didn't end it. Netflix ended it. So I'm, well, I'm very flattered that you're sad. I will say this, when Netflix decided to end it, we still had a lot more in the tank. So it never dipped and I thought it ended on a high point and I love the ending of the show and the little nod that we do to Little Bill's future. So check it out if you can. We had an all-star cast of voice-over actors. A couple of who went on to win like Oscars, you know, while we were doing the show. Like Sam Rockwell, Laura Dern, I don't know, I'm going my fucking head. My head's gonna fuck her. We had David Keckner, Debbie Derry, Barry, Mo Collins.

That was so much fun. You know know it's most fun about doing that show uh... was the table reads that was the worst thing with co-readers we couldn't have them anymore our fucking table reads were amazing um... and all the great writers you know david Richardson rest of soul uh... mock will more rest of soul and we just used to have so much fun and just

watching the actors voice over actors like cracking up Trying to do their lines and stuff Hayley Ryan Hart. Oh my god Justin Long I'm ever being in the booth with that guy Him and Sam Rockwell if I got in the booth with those guys like I couldn't look at him because I was in Starlap We had Vince Vaughn come on one season and he's actually the reason why we sold the damn show because he would go, he went in when I was pitching it around town and you know

people barely knew who I was and I was sitting there with this fucking a list movie star. So tip of the cap to him too. Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it and people, yeah, a bunch of you go back and check it out. Check, check it out, man. All right, better drum riff. Old Billy Ginger Balls, which drum riff intro from Phil Rudd gets the red pubes on your cornhole to tingle more? Jesus, buddy, come out of the closet.

Stop throwing all your gay stuff at me. I get it You find me attractive. All right, I'm sure there's a red headed gay guy. Oh the red head gay What sketch fucking show is that That it that it I and the red head gay the state um Walk all over you intro or shoot to thrill Intro or which one do I like better? Well shoot to thrill it's the breakdown towards the end and

That's just all of them and the magic of them and their ability to one at a time All come back in and each person as they come in just build more and more power and tension until they just feel right finally it's a fucking crash symbol and the whole place goes nuts. So I would say the better intro though is walk all over you which interestingly enough I was trying to play to the other day. And that is not an easy song. It's not an easy song. It's up tempo.

Your fucking arm gets tired. Mine does anyways. Trying to play those eighth notes at that tempo. And then all of a sudden it goes into like a half time feel. Those fills that he does in the beginning. The first one starts on the end of one. Then the second one I think starts on the end of four. Basically any Phil Rutten I will tell you what's really been given me, the chills,

going back and listening to Phil Rudd as I always do. I always learn something else, something that I heard wrong, or I understand something that he's doing better and it's what's next to the moon on the Powerage album and you know he's playing this this floor tom and rack tom groove during the verse for the first two verses but but on the the third verse. When they come out and bonds like long, I'm looking for a finger print, trying to find a Mr. Riku and he's fucking on the hats then and it's just Boko bat, Boko bat, Boko bat, just the way he's driving it. It makes the fucking hair in my arm stand up. It's amazing. It's

fucking amazing. And that's what I love about. I love about all the drum parts of that song. It's like when he's playing on the toms, it's like it's totally driving the song. It's totally happening. And why did he go to the high hat there? And why is it so cool? And it just adds a whole lot of color to it or whatever the fuck you're supposed to say musically. And the song just sourced in the end until they get it, you love that I want.

And then they just ride out on that. Yeah, I mean, give me a break dude, you're gonna fucking, you're gonna bring a fucking Phil Rudd, I can talk about that forever, for fucking ever. I mean, Phil Rudd is the drummer of my favorite fucking band of all time. He plays my favorite instrument of all time and the guy flies helicopters, you know?

Any battles, you know, fucking alcohol and drugs and shit, and I just fought on all levels, I relate to that guy. Which by the way, I had a cup of coffee yesterday and I had a cup of coffee today. And I gotta tell you, I don't fucking like it anymore. I don't know what happened. I went to my favorite fucking place and I had it.

I don't like it. And I'm just like, yeah, I don't know. I think this is the one thing that I can, out of all the fucking addictions that I've had and that I've tried to get away from. This is the only one I've ever come back to and I'm like, I'm not into this anymore. And I'm thinking like, I just must have got a bad cup.

I was so fucking into it. I don't know, I think I just, oh, dude. Like, you ever do that? Like, I remember when I was living in New York, you know, they was like, the only chain fucking restaurants they had, like, we had like McDonald only chain fucking restaurants they had like We had like McDonald's and just shit food like that, right? And then it was all like these mom and pop places, so you lived in your neighborhood and these fucking

Restaurants when you when you ordered take out they would only deliver in a so many block radius so after you lived in your neighborhood for a couple of years You like praying a God something new would open up, right? So I remember at one point Chipotle opened up when it first opened up and everybody thought it was healthy They didn't realize that it was run owned by McDonald's, right? I went down there like every fucking day For like I think like six days in a row and I got a burrito bowl with their fucking avocado guacamole shit right and I don't know what happened on that six day I've never eaten there again. It's just like I can't, like I look at the place and I just want to throw up

every time I drive by it's like I can't fucking do it right. I think I did it with coffee, I just had it like every fucking day and my body's like, all right, enough. Okay, so anyway, that was your school way. They used to try to make the, you cut your kid's smoking, you'd go out and you make him smoke a whole pack of cigarettes and you get all sick and throw up.

That was like the way to, you know, he's a good thing they didn't catch him And you get all sick and throw up that was like the way to You know Tees good thing they didn't catch them doing coke alright you can fucking do this whole eight ball Like some parts of the first time they do coke has money for an eight ball. All right. I'm an idiot All right playing stupid with health and Southwest Airlines By the way if I see one more fucking idiot, you play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That fucking thing, and then what was the other one? Oh, any animal video where an ant,

where a predator is killing prey, somebody always has to write, I know this is difficult, but this is nature. What in the fuck did I see? Did I say that I needed you to hold my hand through this fucking video? You sit in open, you fucking pajamas too. Stop acting like you're out in the wild. We're in a loincloth and some fucking knife you made out of a fucking bamboo tree. All right, playing stupid with health in Southwest Airlines. Oh yeah, Southwest Airlines said, I guess said, if you're fucking overweight, you don't have to pay for the seat next to you and you can board first.

You know, there's no way to having these child hounds getting on before disabled people of the troops. There's no fucking active fucking you're in the Marine. Stand down. Stand down, Sarge. All right. We got somebody over here that likes a fucking, one of those, a blizzard. It Wendy's.

I like my patty square and I like my fucking shakes to sound like the weather. Hey Bill, I'm one of those people who was enraged by fat fucks lecturing me about health over the last few years. Yeah, that was one I didn't take the bait on. It's just, I look at them, they are fucking addicts and they need to break the sugar salt thing and they need to read up on nutrition and they got to get control of their lives or they're gonna fucking die. I didn't get enraged by them because I've also battled with like sugar addiction.

Which for me, I just fucking, for me, did I really just say that? I just fucking said I don't eat dessert. I like saying that, you know what I like saying that to another guy too. Like I was at a Christmas party. So I was like, you get in on this cheesecake and I just got, I don't eat dessert. You know what I mean?

And I see that look in the face. Is this guy like question to my manhood here? And it's like I absolutely am. You wanna cure people of fucking, like all men of fucking eating sugar. Like it's like, if you, if you go into like the coffee shop and you order something sweet, you should be made, you have to eat it there in public

and you have to put on one of those old school party hats. You know what the thin fucking rubber band and then it's a little fucking triangle on top of your head. You should have to fucking sit there and eat it. Is everybody just looks at you, shaming you. Anyway, so I'm one of those people who actually was enraged by fat fucks lecturing me about health over the last few years. I spent my whole life not being an asshole when it comes to food.

If you're unhealthy or unhappy with your life, I don't want to hear your views on Literally anything. I have no sympathy for fat people who haven't undergone any trauma I have fat family members, so I know firsthand that most have no excuse I hate waking up early to work out, but I do it three times a week It's no easier for me than it is for anyone else. Amen to that Fucking amen to that Yeah, it isn't it fucking sucks Until you get there and you get a couple of reps and especially if you're doing upper body You know what I mean?

Then you start lying to yourself. I'm a fucking beast, right? And then you film yourself in a batting cage and you want to crawl under a rock. It's no easier for me than it is for anyone else. And when people act like it is, it's an excuse for their own laziness. 100%, 100%. I mean, you're explaining a lot of female behavior here. They get away. One of the reasons why so many fat fucking brods out there is not because, look,

yeah, a couple of kids, I'll give you a pass, but like the amount of them that are just out there, just fucking out there, like they get ready to go to slaughter. It's because like no one can call them fat anymore. You know what I mean? You gotta say, oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're plus side. It's like, no, man, what did you look like five years ago yeah you fucking lay off the donut sweetheart Jesus Christ you fucking shit and sugar uh southwest airlines has decided to give an

extra seat to fatties for free if they need it I don't have a problem with that I don't want to sit next to one right next to him. Right next to him. Uh, they dangle donuts and fast food in front of people's faces to get the job. But that's my thing. You know, for fatties, if they get an extra fucking seat, that's another thing too, like the message that they're sending. You get status for being fat. So if you actually start eating salads, you're like, I can't

do this. Do it for your family. Well, I fly every weekend. I don't want to lose my extra seat. MSNBC tried to tie home workouts to far-right white supremacy. That all tracks. I don't understand why you guys watch those fucking shows, those channels. I mean, MSNBC, CNN and Fox News, you might as well be watching the Real House

Watch. Here's a conspiracy theory for you. Anyone defending any of these things hates themselves. And anyone saying these things aren't a big deal or idiots too. They're the same ones worried about rhetoric in every other area, but when kids are getting fatty liver disease at eight years old, we have to worry about how other people's feelings will be affected. Yeah, it makes about as much sense as like getting you know suspended for stealing signs But the other team can hire your fucking coach. You just fired eight months ago. It's fucking bullshit Yeah, now that that somewhere like

Liberals Scared the shit out of corporate lawyers with canceling and and they always get nervous when there's any sort of like What's the fucking word discrimination any sort of just now race I understand but that the fact that like fat people are under the same fucking umbrella Is racial discrimination which by the way, another embarrassing moment in Massachusetts history. I guess they have some sort of Asian mayor or something out there or whatever, and she had a Christmas party and it went out that it was white so, no, not whites only.

No white people allowed. She claimed it was a typo and whatever, whatever. I don't know what the fuck happened, right? But all I know watching like white people in Massachusetts or wherever are online complaining about that. Like, yeah, see when they do it, it's not considered fucking racist, it's like people. Non-white people were not allowed to go after their drains and achieve their potential or feel fucking safe for 200 years. You can't go to one fucking Christmas party and you're doing an equivalency thing there.

It's just, it's the fucking, it's the worst, but it is how human beings are. It is how, and we don't give a fuck about anything until it affects us. And I mean everybody. I mean fucking everybody. I'm not just saying white people like that. Everybody is human fucking behavior. You know why that's fucked up because it affects me. Case up, that's why empathy is the, I feel one of the hardest of human emotions. To get outside of your own fucking bullshit and actually give a fuck about something that's affecting somebody else that doesn't have any effect in your

life. You know what I mean? As I'm fucking trash and fat people. Did I trash anything I did? But they're not doing those people. I don't know. I don't give him an extra seat. I don't give a fuck. They should have an extra seat. There is big as two seats. They shouldn't just have one in spilling the your seats but i don't know fucking problem with that alright but i would say uh... you know calling them healthy

you know i don't know somebody actually sent me somebody sent me a text message today with the picture it was on the cover of cosmopolitan they had this spanish actress on there and she's definitely plus size and the cosmopol wrote this is healthy

okay uh... says panace actress it's a i r c z r it, it's IR Castro who fought against fat phobia, dies aged 46. And look, man, she shouldn't like not be able to get a job. I understand all of that type of stuff and they shouldn't be shamed and all of that shit. I, on a percent, get that. But like to tell them that they're healthy and that this is healthy, that's a very reckless fucking. I mean, you know, it'd be great if like alcoholics could

piggyback behind that and you just got somebody face down in a bar like two in the afternoon on a Wednesday and you just write, this is healthy. Oh, wait a minute. I did a bit about that. Didn't I? Fucking plagiarize myself here. All right, case. Oh, I guess a dumbest shudder. I think I've ever said My daughter goes dad dad there's a there's a There's a flying you know in here right get the fly swatter So I thought it was a big house fight of clothes a bathroom door. So it's you know, it's locked in there now Now's used can't sleep right so she leaves and I go in there, and it's a fucking mosquito, and I'm swinging at this thing

because it won't land anywhere, and I couldn't hit it. And I said, out loud to nobody, about a mosquito. I said, this fucking fly isn't human, because I couldn't hit it. And then it was one of those things where you just say,

something really dumb like that out loud, and then I was just kind of like, I had to stop swinging the fly swatter, and be like, well, yeah, it isn't human bill. It's a fucking insect. Okay. Let's just say you didn't know what humans look like. You at least knew they couldn't fly, right? All right. Case to the Monday and Gary Indiana. Hey, Billy Burrito balls, I liked your rant last Monday about people bitching for decades about how they loathed Mondays.

I believe it was the Dalai Lama who once said Mondays are fine, it's your life that sucks. Jesus, do you have a couple of pops? I like that. Edgy Dalai Lama, was that when he was a young angry man, realizing that he's not to spend his whole life fucking walking around in his big clothes? That aside, I was quite surprised to see Gary Indiana in your 2024 tour dates. You're like the third person that's going, what the fuck are you going to Gary Indiana

for? Why wouldn't I go to Gary Indiana? Why wouldn't I? Anyway, I had no idea they had a venue capable of hosting a big national headliner such as yourself. Oh, keep the compliments coming. Coming. I'm too big for Gary Indiana.

Wasn't it little Ronnie Howard who's saying Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, that's the town. I fucking knew me when, from the man. Anyway, I drove through there last year and had never been more uncomfortable in depressed in a city just seconds after exiting the interstate. It seemed like every other building had collapsed, had a collapsed roof and looked as though a catastrophic storm that should have made national news had torn through the town. Yeah, that was a...

I know, and these politicians don't do a fucking thing about it. All they do is just they serve their fucking corporations and their international interests. They're all done with us here. If you haven't noticed, corporations are all done with us here. All they want is whatever money that we have left. all done with us here. All they want is whatever money that we have left. Old abandoned schools, churches, theaters, and so on. All great for

photo ops, none of which I was comfortable to get out of my car for. It's how I imagined what it must have been like to be in New Orleans shortly after Katrina. But no, this has merely been, it was Detroit still looks like in a lot of places, but thank God Detroit is coming back, Cleveland looked like that for a while.

You know, they're all coming back. Buffaloes come, you know, come back, you know, they're all that whole rust belt thing, you know, it comes back in technology and then they build these big glass towers for high-end apartment rentals and no one can afford it. But no, this has merely been a trait of a city in shambles and deterioration for decades. Its population is shrunk by 33% since 2000 and currently has a population of around 68,000 when its peak was 178,000 in 1960. Maybe you already know all of this, but it is all due to the decline of the steel industry and layoffs of workers after facing competition overseas.

Now, I like how that's just facing competition overseas. No, what happened was the people running the steel companies did not want to pay people a, you know, a living wage. They wanted to take advantage of sweatshop labor. They wanted to go back to the industrial revolution when they had children working in factories and that's what the fuck they've done. And they took away American jobs and then they exploit people from other fucking countries, children and women and all of that stuff and they just do it all around the fucking world.

And they don't get taken to task for that and we sit around talking about that. Can you believe fat people are getting two seats on Southwest Airlines? That's the shit that they talk about. And then MSNBC does all these misdirections going like, well, you know, this fucking thing was actually from white supremacist and blah, blah, blah. Just all this scuttle butt. Those three fucking networks, I'm telling you, all, it's like you listen to a bunch of old ladies in a fucking coffee shop.

They don't know what the fuck's going on. This person says, I know you are likely not going to be hanging out on the streets while you're there But thought you might be interested in a few videos I found after my trip and quite frankly I probably wouldn't have felt as unsafe Had I watched these beforehand kind of hard to get mugged a murder in a borderline ghost town as my experience there Replayed in my head. I kind of got obsessed with learning everything I could and found the following links to be highly informative. Eat a freckled shit and all the best.

Well, Jesus Christ, let me see what we got here. I have a big family and they're spread around multiple countries. So a few years ago, it was my brother's wedding and most of them decided to come. Great news, but a big problem. Where do you put eight people all with different requirements and keep them all together? We looked at some hotels, but then it was obvious, get an Airbnb. My mom and I were able to find the perfect place. It was a big house with multiple

rooms and in a part of the city with woods and walking trails all around. The Airbnb also included a huge kitchen where we all got together the day after the wedding for a big family meal. This is a cherished memory for my family and me. And whenever I drive by that location, it always makes me smile. Not long ago, my mum and I stopped by that area to walk around and remember one of the most special times for my family, whether you're traveling with friends or with family for a big wedding or justification, get an Airbnb.
