Thanksgiving, Inventory, Public Schools | Monday Morning Podcast 11-24-25

Speaker 1 Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, November 2th, 2025. What's going on? How are you?

Speaker 1 11:25-25. How's it going, man? Happy Thanksgiving week.

Speaker 1 You know, arguably the best holiday out there

Speaker 1 you know

Speaker 1 all you got to do is fucking show up and eat unless you know the true heroes of thanksgiving the people that go out and actually make the meals while everybody else shows up with like a fucking bottle of wine

Speaker 1 some half-assed effort

Speaker 1 You swung by a liquor store on the drive-over.

Speaker 1 But you know, let's, how about a shout out to those people? How about those people that enjoy the holidays and put zero effort in?

Speaker 1 That's probably like, that's really like,

Speaker 1 is there a slang word for the person

Speaker 1 that like just, you know,

Speaker 1 I don't know, what the fuck would that be?

Speaker 1 It's almost like when you have a buddy that has a boat, you know, and you just show up with like a 12-pack or some shit, and then he has to deal with the boat, and you get to enjoy the boat, but you don't have to pay the insurance, you don't got to take it out of the water, you don't have to get the barnacles taken off.

Speaker 1 So that person shows up Thanksgiving, they got a fucking bottle of wine, they're not doing any dishes,

Speaker 1 you know what I mean? They didn't cook anything, they went to a liquor store

Speaker 1 and showed up with a bottle of red,

Speaker 1 bottle of white, and they just

Speaker 1 it could, you know,

Speaker 1 those people who fucking

Speaker 1 Thanksgiving's on a Thursday, and their behavior is no different than any other Thursday.

Speaker 1 Shout out to them, too. There's all different kinds of people out there.

Speaker 1 Some people are in the game driving the fucking team down the field, and other people are the place kicker.

Speaker 1 You know, still an important role on the team. They play,

Speaker 1 they do play a role. You know what they do is they make the people that actually do the work to make it a nice holiday

Speaker 1 look better.

Speaker 1 You know?

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 I always liked Thanksgiving. I always thought it was a nice,

Speaker 1 you didn't have to wear a costume. You didn't have to buy a a bunch of shit.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 you show up, you hang out with people you love, you watch football.

Speaker 1 Inevitably,

Speaker 1 somehow you always end up outside, either throwing a football, smoking a cigar,

Speaker 1 I don't know what,

Speaker 1 holding somebody as they cry quietly. You know, the holidays.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so anyway, speaking of the holidays,

Speaker 1 I am essentially done with all of my holiday shopping and it's wrapped

Speaker 1 and it's ready to go, which is, I've never done this. I don't know what it was.
It was just something about going through this shit again.

Speaker 1 Like, because I love Thanksgiving, right?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I love Halloween because, you know,

Speaker 1 having kids and stuff, having them go out to Halloween is

Speaker 1 And then I look forward to Thanksgiving, which I feel is like, you know, Halloween's for kids, Christmas is for kids, and the Thanksgiving, that's the one for adults.

Speaker 1 And everybody fucking blows but you know how you know it's for adults is there's no songs about it.

Speaker 1 I am kind of amazed that capitalism hasn't figured out a fucking way to make you spend way more money

Speaker 1 on Thanksgiving. I mean, it's a tough one.
If you really put on your capitalist

Speaker 1 hat, I mean, I'm not going to get into details, but

Speaker 1 terrorist attacks,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 foreign and domestic terrorist attacks are still ways that people figure out how to earn money.

Speaker 1 Everything from false charity to merch

Speaker 1 and all of that type of stuff.

Speaker 1 Like, very quickly, it gets like,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 in remembrance and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, you're kind of making, what are you doing with that money that you get? You're donating it to people.
A portion of the proceeds.

Speaker 1 I would just love to see one honest piece of shit out there that actually has a sign out in front of the house that this house was purchased on the rest of the portion of the proceeds.

Speaker 1 On the majority of the portions of the proceeds, this gated community house was purchased.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's just a hard one.

Speaker 1 You know, who wants no one like a turkey is not a desirable animal.

Speaker 1 No one wants to dress up like a turkey. It's not a sexy animal.
It's not a respected animal.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of browns and oranges. It's just not good colors.
Nothing really pops.

Speaker 1 Pretty much the colors of Thanksgiving represent the death of trees.

Speaker 1 Just browns and yellows. They don't even get, you know, maybe like a little bit of foliage.

Speaker 1 They just can't do it. It's kind of fucking.

Speaker 1 You got to give it up Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving never sold out.
Christmas sold out.

Speaker 1 If you're a religious person, that's the birthday of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, right?

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 all of a sudden,

Speaker 1 who comes in to steal the thunder?

Speaker 1 But but it up but but it's the holiday season. Doobie doobie doo, right? The fucking Santa Claus comes in.

Speaker 1 You know, with all those religious wackos out there, you'd think that mall Santa's would be getting more shit.

Speaker 1 Sorry, I'm yawning. I just can't sleep.
It's like fucking three in the morning.

Speaker 1 You would think that Mall Santa's would get way more shit.

Speaker 1 You know, you'd think that somebody would come walking in and be like, this isn't about you, man.

Speaker 1 Jesus never made you buy anything. I mean, you did have to wash his feet.
Did you have to? I never quite understood that story.

Speaker 1 Somebody came. I mean, he must have been, his feet must have been filthy.
Jesus Christ, he was always walking around. He was a man of the people.

Speaker 1 Could you say that Jesus was the first street magician?

Speaker 1 He was sort of David Blaine before David Blaine.

Speaker 1 You know, like when David Blaine does like street magic and black people, ah, they like run away. That would be a great sketch.
Like, Jesus just keeps pulling fish out of the basket.

Speaker 1 And, like, black people back then, like, run away.

Speaker 1 Or he walks on water

Speaker 1 and just medieval people, oh, shit, and they just fucking run away.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 what the fuck do I know?

Speaker 1 What do I know? Not a goddamn thing. I lost a lot of games picking this week.
It's inevitable.

Speaker 1 I was crushing it for like six weeks, going three and one, three and one, three and one, three and one, two and two, three and one, right? So then what happens?

Speaker 1 You go one and three, one and three, and it's just, you just give it all back. It's the stupidest thing ever trying to win that shit.

Speaker 1 I don't know how I might have gone two and two. I don't know.
I won the Patriots game. That one I called.

Speaker 1 Six and a half point spread. I was just like,

Speaker 1 you know, Joe Flacco,

Speaker 1 he's got too much of too much. I didn't like the half a point.

Speaker 1 And this is how good Vegas is. Patriots won by six.

Speaker 1 I mean, it really is bananas that you're going up against the corporation that runs sports gambling. And not only do they have like

Speaker 1 these

Speaker 1 geniuses

Speaker 1 who could fucking pick spreads before computers now you have these geniuses that actually have computers and analytics and programs and with like probabilities I mean it has to be fucking

Speaker 1 it's got to be a you know

Speaker 1 I feel like you ever see like those those those pirates that like pull up on like a cargo ship, and they got this little ass boat going up against this big-ass boat, and then they got all these guns.

Speaker 1 And just the futile effort of that,

Speaker 1 that these pirates think that they're going to, this little boat

Speaker 1 are going to somehow catch up with the bigger boat

Speaker 1 and not get sunk.

Speaker 1 That's kind of sports gambling.

Speaker 1 Is it, Bill? I don't know what it is. You see the commercials.
everybody's having a great time.

Speaker 1 I don't know. But you also see commercials when they sell cars, and the person who bought the car just had a great time.

Speaker 1 They don't have that bewildered look on their face as they walk out, like, hey, wait a minute. Am I the one who got screwed? I thought I got over on them.
Wait a second.

Speaker 1 Wait a minute.

Speaker 1 I've been doing some stand-up.

Speaker 1 Get ready.

Speaker 1 I got a show first week of December up in Bakersfield.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 I'm excited to do that

Speaker 1 and get ready to go back out on tour next year. We'll see how all of that shakes out.

Speaker 1 Oh, and also,

Speaker 1 I finished that series that I was telling you on the Criteria collection that

Speaker 1 those three movies, Carlos,

Speaker 1 starring Edgar Ramirez.

Speaker 1 I can't say enough about

Speaker 1 those three movies. You got to check that,

Speaker 1 you got to check the thing out. And when you're done watching the three movies, you got to watch the interview with Edgar where he breaks down the character and

Speaker 1 his feelings on him, how he played him,

Speaker 1 and the fact that everybody involved in that project dedicated a year of their lives to make it. It's really

Speaker 1 an astounding, like,

Speaker 1 movie achievement.

Speaker 1 It was just fucking unbelievable.

Speaker 1 I'm surprised more people don't know about it or maybe, I don't know, maybe I just discovered it and I just assume that no one else knows about it.

Speaker 2 Anyway,

Speaker 1 and I also started watching this other movie called Death by Hanging.

Speaker 1 Which I just got in the beginning of it. I've just been watching a bunch of fucking,

Speaker 2 I don't know,

Speaker 1 movie recommendations from.

Speaker 1 I got a few friends of mine that are actors that are just like,

Speaker 1 you know, you know, it's like the sports fans that can name like

Speaker 1 offensive linemen. I have a few friends that are on like the movie level of that.

Speaker 1 So they are like as far away from like big Hollywood movie franchises of like, you know, superheroes or those

Speaker 1 car ones.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 I've been having

Speaker 1 I don't know it's really kind of astounding how many ridiculously talented people there are out there so I'm just going to keep recommending those

Speaker 1 as I go

Speaker 1 as I go along and also something else that I mentioned to you guys that

Speaker 1 you know I was talking about with my drumming where I'm trying to like free myself up

Speaker 1 to be able to play ideas that I hear

Speaker 1 and I started doing that, and it's immediately changing how I play in a good way. So it's fucking really exciting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've been doing that. I went to the Bruins Kings game the other night with one of my great friends that I started.

Speaker 1 Well, I started a few years after he did, but I started out in Boston, Jackie Flynn.

Speaker 1 I've known him, I can't believe it at this point, like over 30 years.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 we went to the Bruins game

Speaker 1 and just, you know, first of all, saw a

Speaker 1 great game. It was like zero to zero

Speaker 1 until like, you know, five, six minutes left in the game.

Speaker 1 Bruins scored first, Morgan Geeky. Then we, of course, we left a fucking shorthanded goal, and it goes into overtime.
And then the three on three, which is so much fun to watch.

Speaker 1 And Morgan Geeky got the second one, sniped him both times.

Speaker 1 And we both just sat there talking about the old days

Speaker 1 going to the Boston Garden and everything. And Jackie was telling me that he went to his first game in 1970.

Speaker 1 And I was like, you saw Bobby Orr and all of those guys. He was like, yeah,

Speaker 1 the game, he's supposed to. Oh, that's right.
We were trying to remember two old guys. He goes, oh, I'll send you a clip of the game.
He goes, they were playing Toronto.

Speaker 1 and a guy on the other team he goes i swear to god there was a fight and he punched the referee on purpose and got a massive suspension he goes i found like this old like vhs i think it was actually before vhs like grainy footage of um

Speaker 1 of that uh

Speaker 1 that incident. So I got to get him to send me that.
And I was telling him the first time I went,

Speaker 1 it was the 1983, 84 season, and I had been watching the Bruins since about 1980.

Speaker 1 I caught the end of Wayne Cashman's career, Stan Jonathan.

Speaker 1 It had become Terry O'Reilly's team.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 I caught that whole wave of like,

Speaker 1 you know, Peter McNabb, the last guy to wear number eight before Cam Neely.

Speaker 1 Rick Middleton, the end of Brad Park's career and all of that. God, those were such fucking great days.
So the game I went to

Speaker 1 that year, the Bruins won the President's Trophy.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 so, of course, the Canadians, we were in first place in the Adams division, and the Canadians were in fourth. So, one played four.
That's how they did it back then.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 in each division, right? So it was best three out of five. And of course, the Canadians came in and swept us.
And it was funny.

Speaker 1 There was like this fucking despondency, I remember, of like, we're never going to beat the Canadians. We can't beat the Canadians.

Speaker 1 What was so weird is our Stanley Cup drought was only 12 years at that point.

Speaker 1 And now I'm looking at like right now, like, it doesn't seem like, you know, the Bruins haven't won it for such a long time, but it's actually been 14 years. Oh, my God.
I cannot fucking believe that.

Speaker 1 But yeah.

Speaker 1 So anyway, I went to the Boston Garden and we're all excited. Oh, the President's Trophy, like this year we're going to beat the Canadians.
And this is like pre-Patrick Watt. Like I went up and I

Speaker 1 looked up the names.

Speaker 1 Like Larry Robinson and Guy LaFleur were still on that team left over from

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 dynasty 76 to 79 that the Canadiens had.

Speaker 1 And the infamous Too Many Men on the Ice, which I'm so thankful that I was too young to have watched that game.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 Larry Robinson, he had a fight in the game that I went to, which I don't even remember. And whoever he fought on the Bruins got four minutes for roughing.

Speaker 1 So that's like one of those deals where I feel like there was a lot of pushing and shoving. And Larry dropped the gloves and the Bruin guy didn't try any,

Speaker 1 I don't know, give us a minute penalty. And it was a two to one game.

Speaker 1 And I don't remember anything from the game other than I couldn't believe I was at the Boston Garden

Speaker 1 because the only other time I had been there, I saw saw the Harlem Globetrotters when I was a kid and the Icecapades.

Speaker 1 And going to that game started

Speaker 2 my whole,

Speaker 1 after that, I went to countless Bruins games. And like the first 10 games I went to, it was always Bruins versus Canadians.

Speaker 1 Because I liked the fights. I liked the aggressiveness of the games and the atmosphere.

Speaker 1 Like it didn't make a difference if we were playing the Canadians in April in the playoffs or May in the playoffs or like in November. It was this, it was

Speaker 1 the energy was just like, you felt like the roof was going to come off the garden. But

Speaker 1 anyway, I went to the game and how I did it was I was taking, you know, failing miserably this French class and the French exchange students were there and somehow public schools, they got Bruins tickets and they took the French kids and like kids like me from the French class to a hockey game and it was Bruins versus the Canadians.

Speaker 1 And, you know, the Canadians are in

Speaker 1 French-speaking Quebec. So I just remembered that the French exchange students were actively rooting for the Canadians.

Speaker 1 and the Boston Garden. And I was really worried that they were going to get into a fight.

Speaker 1 And they were going fucking crazy rooting for, I think, you would have thought they watched hockey their whole lives

Speaker 2 um

Speaker 1 and they also knew that they they were like they bought like canadian like merch somehow at the garden i think they went they they you know like outside when you would walk in there would be the street vendors and they would always have like 99 your shit and then a couple of straggler things for people who maybe traveled which didn't happen a lot back then But I guess they bought that shit.

Speaker 1 And I just remember them screaming in French and Bruin fans turning turning around telling them to shut the fuck up. And I remember my French teacher,

Speaker 1 this poor woman, was in the middle of it.

Speaker 1 So, sort of looking over and making this like, geez, like, what is going on?

Speaker 1 And I remember thinking, like, this woman does not realize the potential danger

Speaker 1 that she's in right now.

Speaker 1 It's like, you speak French. Do you know anything about Boston sports fans? You should tell these French kids to fucking tone it down.
And

Speaker 1 I remember thinking beyond wanting the Bruins to win at one point, I was thinking like the Bruins better win this game because if they don't, somebody's going to take it out on these fucking kids.

Speaker 1 And they were just like, you know, 15, 14, 15, like however old I was then. I think it was 16.

Speaker 1 almost 16 when I went to that game. But anyway, I was at the game with Jackie and we were just talking about all of this fucking,

Speaker 1 all of that stuff. And I was telling them how I went to the bench clearing brawl, Bruins Canadiens game when the benches faced each other.
And Nyland hit fucking Millbury with the butt of his stick.

Speaker 1 And Jay Miller was the ref tackle, Jay Miller, and Jay Miller was on the ice looking at Chris Nyland.

Speaker 1 And you could see him clear as day, read his lips going, pointing at Nylon, going, I'm going to get you, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 And then Nyland, like, gets brought into the dressing room, got like a 10-minute misconduct.

Speaker 1 And they, of course, because nothing made sense back there, not only do the benches face each other, but like

Speaker 1 when if you got a 10-minute misconduct as a member of the other team, to walk to the dressing room, you had to go by

Speaker 1 the Bruins bench. And I don't know if Linsman said something, but Nylon went by and he pushed Ken Linsman.
And then Ken Linsman,

Speaker 1 to his credit, I don't know what he was thinking. He ran up the aisle, the hallway, to go fight Chris Nylan, who was like twice his size.
And then a whole brawl broke out. It was Boston cops involved.

Speaker 1 Terry O'Reilly was a coach at that point, wearing a sport coat. I remember grabbing a Canadian player when they came across the ice.
I think Nevin Marquardt had a fight.

Speaker 1 It was insane. So we were sitting there now in 2025

Speaker 1 as they got the Jumbotron, and everybody's doing like their dances and doing all of this shit up there, kiss cams, all of this stuff, like how much the game has changed.

Speaker 1 And we were like laughing, going like, yeah, there was none of this shit. It was just like you came in there, like the, the, the, the, um,

Speaker 1 the scoreboard above the ice, the Boston Garden, all it was was information. There was no video.
It just had the time left. The score was in red.

Speaker 1 The time left was in like white lights. The score was in red.
And then

Speaker 1 I don't know what else they had. They had like penalty minutes and stuff like that.
It was really a simple,

Speaker 1 not simple. The thing was fucking gigantic, but it was just like just basic things.
And what I loved about back then was

Speaker 1 it wasn't some DJ creating a vibe.

Speaker 1 Like the people that went to the game, their knowledge of the game, the history between the two teams, whatever was going on in the story of your team and the other team at that point, that's what created the vibe.

Speaker 1 Or even like the holidays, people would come there hammered,

Speaker 1 fucking with the Santa Claus hat on, or whatever. And it was,

Speaker 1 there'd be fights in the stands. It was a really, it was fucking wild.

Speaker 1 I still remember seeing this fight in the stands

Speaker 1 at some game I went to.

Speaker 1 And this cop had gone up there to break it up. This security was, they used to have like they were like cops.
It wasn't

Speaker 1 like security that had to do with the Bruins or the arena. It was just Boston cops.
And I just remember, like an idiot, I went up into the section to get a closer look at the fight.

Speaker 1 And all of a sudden, the fight spilled out into the aisle where I was. And I was like, oh, fuck, I got to get out of this.
And I just remember this cop had grabbed one of the guys.

Speaker 1 And I still don't know how he did it. It looked like he had a handful of the guy's neck.
He didn't have him from the front or the back. He had him from the side of the neck.

Speaker 1 And he almost had his hand closed, like he was grabbing him by

Speaker 1 like the scruff of his neck or the back of his shirt. But it was like the guy's jugular, and he was fucking just

Speaker 1 marching this guy down the stairs.

Speaker 1 And the guy had a look on his face like somebody had a handful of his neck.

Speaker 1 And I just remember the cop repeatedly saying, Try to push me down the stairs, Brian pushed me down the stairs as he the stairs as he was coming down the thing.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 I don't know, it was just such a great time going back and

Speaker 1 remembering all of those fucking wild times

Speaker 2 and

Speaker 1 going to the game and everything. And I,

Speaker 1 you know, just from doing like the Cam Neely, Dennis Leary, Commerce Come Home thing, I've gotten to know some people in that organization. And we got to talk to them before the game.

Speaker 1 It was just fucking great. It was really great.

Speaker 1 And I also love that the Bruins have gone back to like the jersey, like the jersey that they wear now where they don't have the yellow going down the sleeves.

Speaker 1 It looks like the home jersey and the whey jersey look like the home and away jersey when I first started going to games, except they're just reversed.

Speaker 1 So, the jersey they were wearing at the crypto fucking

Speaker 1 whatever the hell you call the Staples Center now was the home jersey that I saw the first time I saw them at the first game I went to. It fucking took me back to that

Speaker 1 with Pete Peters,

Speaker 1 Keith Crowder, Bruce Crowder, Tom Fergus, Mike Krushalniski. Remember all those names? Brian Curran?

Speaker 1 Peter McNabb.

Speaker 1 All of those guys.

Speaker 1 From way the fuck back in the day. All right, that was old Billy reminiscing.

Speaker 1 And reminiscing.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get into the read for the week. Simply Safe, everybody.
You know, if you listen to this show, you know, I absolutely love my Simply Safe home security system.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm so excited. Simply, can't you tell? That's why I'm so excited.
Better read. Simply Safe is giving fans of my show early access to their Black Friday sale.

Speaker 1 Guess who doesn't need the Black Friday sale? Someone who already finished their Christmas shopping.

Speaker 2 Woo!

Speaker 1 I love Simply Safe because

Speaker 1 it actually can stop a crime before it really starts. Here's what I mean.

Speaker 1 Yes, this is what the smartest thing about it is: is that before the fucking asshole gets on your property, gets into it, you just scare them away.

Speaker 1 Because even if you know the cops get there real quick, the person still broke a window, you know, messed up your front door or something.

Speaker 1 Anyway, when you think about security, you probably think of an alarm in a house that reacts after an intruder has already broken in. That's too little, too late.
Simply Safe is different.

Speaker 1 It's the only home security you can actually call real security. That's because Simply Safe keeps watch before your home and takes action before a criminal breaks in.

Speaker 1 If someone is lurking or doing something that shouldn't be, Simply Safe's living agents immediately let them know they're on camera and if they don't leave, the police will be dispatched.

Speaker 1 That's even good for criminals. It gives them a break.
All right, sorry. It's trying to rob your house.
Other security systems have...

Speaker 1 outdoor cameras too, but they rely on you getting the alert and taking action.

Speaker 1 Simply Safe does that for you.

Speaker 1 It's like having a private security guard stationed outside your home you will feel so much safer knowing simply safe has your back don't miss this sale go to simply safe.com slash burr today and you will get 60 off any new system this is their best deal of the year you won't ever see a better price and with a 60-day money-back guarantee and no long-term contract simply safe earns your business by keeping you safe and satisfied every day.

All right, let's get to the reads here for the week. Let's get to the reads.

Speaker 1 I just scrolled up there. All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 When websites say they're sold out, oh yeah, this is what I, you know, I was doing like some shopping online, and I find like the cool thing that you want

Speaker 1 is never available. There's no sizes left.
It's already sold out.

Speaker 1 But all the other bullshit that you don't want is readily available. And I'm sitting there going,

Speaker 1 I'm on your website.

Speaker 1 So I'm not in a store. I get how a store doesn't have,

Speaker 1 gets sold out, but like, I'm going directly to the manufacturer here. I'm in your warehouse.

Speaker 1 You wow.

Speaker 1 Remember, I used to work with that guy. This is not a factory.
It's a wow.

Speaker 1 that was i'm trying to say warehouse um

Speaker 1 anyway sorry i got fucking distracted i don't know why i'm doing a podcast at fucking 335 in the morning um

Speaker 1 anyway yeah like you shouldn't be sold out

Speaker 1 like how does that happen i just think they just say that they're sold out when they find out they're like what okay with the My theory is they see what's the most popular thing, they have it there,

Speaker 1 they

Speaker 1 have a set number that they're going to sell, and then they're going to say that they're sold out when they're not.

Speaker 1 And then they're going to try to get people to, well, fuck it.

Speaker 1 I'll just buy this so they can move less popular stuff so they're not stuck with it and they don't have to throw it in the ocean and it doesn't end up floating up on the shores of Africa, which is what's happening now.

Speaker 1 All those clothes you drop off at Goodwill. Nobody wants them.
And they throw them in the ocean and all these pants and shirts. It's this consumerism is fucking insane.

Speaker 1 It's so out of control, like most things.

Speaker 1 It's so out of control. It's so out of control.
Oh my God, that was another thing Jackie said.

Speaker 1 He was talking about like aliens and stuff and like how we're going to discover soon that they exist and like the evidence. And he did

Speaker 1 the thing that a lot of my friends do. Like they go to use an expression and they either don't say it right or they combine it.

Speaker 1 And he goes, with all that thing, he goes, I can't dismiss it out of hand.

Speaker 1 And I go, what the fuck does that mean? I know what I can't dismiss it.

Speaker 2 And what do you mean, out of hand?

Speaker 1 And we were just laughing at it because it made sense to him. And I go, dude, like out of hand, a party's out of hand.

Speaker 1 You know, your behavior is like out of hand. Like, and then you dismiss something or you dismiss a person.

Speaker 1 You're in the military, you're dismissed.

Speaker 1 Dismiss it out of hand. There's a new one.

Speaker 2 Anyway,

Speaker 1 this person's going to, I guess, break down when websites say they're sold out. Hey, Bill, heard you talk about how website list items is sold out to make you buy stuff that isn't selling.

Speaker 1 Not saying you're wrong, but as someone with years of e-commerce experience, if a business has something that people want,

Speaker 1 they will make it available. Supply and demand.
If they have something that isn't selling, they're more likely to sell it at a discount and keep upping the discount until it sells.

Speaker 1 I would really love to believe that.

Speaker 1 Anyway, this person said, I work for a company that sold thousands of items online and many things we did not have stock of.

Speaker 1 Sales were going well, but we had one manager who got greedy and started listing things as in stock, even though they were sold out.

Speaker 1 with the aim to get sales through the door, then rush to get them in stock from our our supplier.

Speaker 1 I warned against this, saying customers will get pissed off if they have to wait indefinitely for something they've already paid for.

Speaker 1 But they went ahead and did it anyway. Sales took off, but then as I predicted, customers stopped ordering from us when they realized they couldn't trust us.
A short-term game for a long-term loss.

Speaker 1 Oh, there you go.

Speaker 1 Come back to Australia sometime. I know it's a long way from home, but Nia and the kids.

Speaker 1 Oh, bring Nia and the kids. The kids would love it here.
The beaches, the rainforest.

Speaker 1 You have a rainforest over there?

Speaker 1 Google Whitehaven Beach and show it to Nia and the kiddos. Thanks, and go fuck yourself from a fellow bald.

Speaker 2 Wait a minute.

Speaker 1 My idea of Australia

Speaker 1 is the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen,

Speaker 1 and that all of your

Speaker 1 lush vegetation exists along the coast, and the entire middle of your country is Badlands. That's what I thought.
And then that's what that ACDC song, Highway to Hell is.

Speaker 1 Was they were singing about getting in a van to play a gig while they had to drive through the Badlands out to some bar in the middle of fucking nowhere to play a gig.

Speaker 1 It was called the Highway to Hell.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I remember hearing about that. I was amazed because I always thought Highway to Hell was ACDC sort of

Speaker 1 joking about stairway to heaven.

Speaker 1 That, you know, Led Zeppelin sings about stairway to heaven. We talk about the highway to hell.

Speaker 1 Sorry, yawning, yawning, sorry. I always thought that there was some sort of correlation.
Oh my God, where did I get that one? I fucking pulled that word out. Oh, Billy Bigward.

Speaker 1 Some sort of correlation between the two.

Speaker 1 Anyway, I would love to go. I haven't been there in 10 years.

Speaker 1 A lot has happened in 10 years. My lovely wife gave me two beautiful children who are amazing.
I was talking to my son. You know, he got his holiday haircut, right?

Speaker 1 So I was telling him how good he looked. And he looked at me.
He goes, Dad, when are you getting your haircut?

Speaker 2 I go, well, I don't have any hair.

Speaker 1 I shave my hair, my head. And he was asking me why and everything.
I said, yeah, that's what I do. I go, I just, the only thing I got to do is keep my beard

Speaker 1 trimmed. And I asked him, I said, hey,

Speaker 1 are you going to grow a beard someday? And he goes, no. And I said, why not?

Speaker 1 And he goes, because I'm not a dad and I don't drink coffee. I drink water only.

Speaker 1 It's just too goddamn funny. And he bought it at this book fair, I got him this shark book, and he is absolutely obsessed with it.

Speaker 1 He actually brought it to the barbershop, and it comes with like these shark teeth that came in a clear plastic thing on the front, and he is absolutely obsessed with it. But it's like

Speaker 1 a really like advanced book. So when he gets the book, he goes, Dad, I don't want you to read it.
I just want to look at the pictures.

Speaker 1 because it's really like

Speaker 1 I don't know, it's kind of for like an 11 or a 12-year-old, to be honest with you, as far as like the detail that it has.

Speaker 1 All right, World Cup 2026,

Speaker 1 baldy bastard Billy, longtime listener, first-time caller, parentheses, emailer. You actually had some remnants of hair when I first started listening, if that gives you any idea.

Speaker 1 um this person goes on to say

Speaker 1 uh anyway

Speaker 1 oh god dang it what did i just do here went back up to the top um

Speaker 1 anyway you used

Speaker 1 you used to show a short-lived interest in football soccer to you and now i'm curious if that interest is reigniting now that the the US and specifically Los Angeles are hosting the World Cup.

Speaker 1 I'm definitely going to go.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 my kids are really into soccer, as are a lot of kids nowadays. And,

Speaker 1 you know, I take them to soccer practice and stuff. And

Speaker 1 I actually really enjoy the game.

Speaker 1 But as far as my interest in it, I don't have time.

Speaker 1 I would have to abandon an American sport. And the only way I can explain that to you is: would you abandon,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 soccer for

Speaker 1 an American sport or what is that? The seven-nation rugby thing where you win a trophy or the wooden spoon

Speaker 1 for the worst team? I mean, you're going to,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 what happens is whatever you watched like growing up, it's really hard to break away from that and make time for a new sport for the simple fact that like the amount of like memories, like going to that Bruins game and just going with an old school Bruin fan and talking about the Boston Garden and laughing and just having like the best time

Speaker 2 like

Speaker 1 I don't know you have all this time invested in these sports to just like walk away from them I don't know I don't know that I can do that but I've seen people do it I've seen people like it always fascinates people that can change allegiances I mean I did get into Moto GP I mean maybe that I guess that's one thing

Speaker 1 Anyway, I must continue on here.

Speaker 1 This person says, I'm from Scotland, and this week we qualified for our first World Cup in 28 years, which sent the whole country into a state of euphoria due to the ridiculously dramatic way in which we qualified.

Speaker 1 All right, well, I'm in. I want to hear the story.

Speaker 1 You may have Irish blood, so a Celtic connection there already. I have Scottish blood, too.

Speaker 1 England, Scotland, and

Speaker 1 Ireland, I have.

Speaker 1 As far as I know, I mean, I never did a 23 in me

Speaker 1 because there's no way I'm not going to find a fucking serial killer or something in my family.

Speaker 1 And I ain't no rat.

Speaker 1 No, I actually, the real reason why I don't do it is because

Speaker 1 I'm not giving a corporation DNA. You saw what happened.
They turned around and they sold it to the cops.

Speaker 1 It's just fucking wild,

Speaker 1 the just complete lack of privacy.

Speaker 1 And all of these politicians, through kickbacks, are just letting these corporations do it. It's really

Speaker 1 an amazing, amazing thing

Speaker 1 in a sad way.

Speaker 1 Which reminds me, I wanted to develop a bit about

Speaker 2 how.

Speaker 1 The only way I'm making sense of what's going on, the insanity of what's going on in the world right now, as far as climate change, whatever the fuck they, the new way that they want to call it, instead of global warming.

Speaker 1 Climate change, like the change of the seasons.

Speaker 1 Them admitting to spraying chemicals into the fucking atmosphere, what they've done to the food supply, false wars.

Speaker 1 You know, Venezuela claiming that they caught mercenaries,

Speaker 1 you know, kidnapping Venezuelan soldiers. They were going to switch uniforms and and allegedly

Speaker 1 attack a U.S. ship.

Speaker 1 It was allegedly CIA-backed to get us in a war down there. And I'm like, oh my god, like, what is like all of this shit going on?

Speaker 1 And then you have like religion and all of that stuff, and that there's this loving God that made us and is judging us and all of this stuff.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I was just thinking about like

Speaker 1 if God really loved us,

Speaker 1 he wouldn't make all of these awful people.

Speaker 1 And I'm thinking maybe he makes these awful people because he wanted a beginning, middle, and end

Speaker 1 of humanity.

Speaker 1 And I remember reading this thing one time that there's this bacteria in your gut, and it's in your body

Speaker 1 from the second you're born.

Speaker 1 And that's a whole other religious argument, but I'm saying, like, whatever. The day you're holding your newborn baby,

Speaker 1 everybody has this bacteria in their gut, and it's for when you die. And when you die, the bacteria activates, and it's what begins the decomposing of your body.

Speaker 1 And I kind of view like if there is a God, and he's made this system and everything

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 if he's a loving God, he wouldn't make sociopaths, psychopaths,

Speaker 1 greedy people and all of this shit. He would never have made that.
And all of those types of people are leading humanity, marching us briskly towards the end.

Speaker 1 And I almost view those people as the human form of that bacteria that's in your gut.

Speaker 1 I tried it one night on stage and people were just staring at me like,

Speaker 1 i don't know where you're going with that there

Speaker 1 baldy but uh have fun with that premise um

Speaker 1 anyway getting back to the sports thing uh you may have irish blood so a celtic connection there already

Speaker 2 um

Speaker 1 but you also being a sports fan and fan of live events with passionate crowds i have a strong feeling you would get goosebumps watching these highlights If that doesn't set off some interest in the World Cup for next year, then nothing will.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm going to do? I'm actually going to hit pause and watch that. Okay, I just watched the highlight.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was fucking amazing.

Speaker 1 All right, for all the Americans listening,

Speaker 1 Scotland went up 1-0,

Speaker 1 then it was 1-1 playing Denmark,

Speaker 1 and then it was 2-1, and then 2-2, and then they scored the third goal, and then they scored the fourth goal. But, like, you gotta, you gotta watch the highlight.
I'll put the clip up there.

Speaker 1 I will say

Speaker 1 the bicycle kick the header and then of course that last goal from fucking center ice as they say in in in the united states uh yeah that was amazing i will say what was bullshit is that red card on that guy from denmark number 13 he didn't even fucking touch the guy didn't even touch the guy but other than that

Speaker 2 um

Speaker 1 And that announcer, Jesus Christ, if you haven't won it in 30 years, like he was like trying to jinx you guys when you went up three to two. He's like, surely that's enough.

Speaker 1 Surely that punches a ticket

Speaker 1 to go to America.

Speaker 1 Then of course Denmark comes back and scores. Ah, you fucking cunt.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 that was definitely me. Yeah, but this is the thing.
Like if I watch

Speaker 1 If I watch a soccer game over there

Speaker 1 with crowds with that level of passion and singing and doing all of that stuff. I can get into it.
Over here,

Speaker 1 the only time it seems to get like that is if the Mexican team is playing in LA,

Speaker 1 then the level of excitement,

Speaker 1 it still doesn't match,

Speaker 1 you know, what I just watched or the games I see in like South America and stuff, Africa, the Middle East, everything. Like, it's just, I mean, that's your guy's sport.
That's what you grew up on.

Speaker 1 That's your memories and all of that stuff. But, like, yeah, that definitely was

Speaker 1 awesome. I'm not going to lie to you.
I do, I don't give a shit what sport it is.

Speaker 1 I definitely have an appreciation

Speaker 1 for any sort of dramatics that has to do with sports and then fans absolutely losing them. I mean, you could hear from the crowd, like the

Speaker 1 years

Speaker 1 that these people have emotional investment in this team. So that's amazing.
Anyways, this person said,

Speaker 1 goes on to say,

Speaker 1 so I do hope that you are excited to host the greatest show on earth,

Speaker 1 even though you will only likely be hosting us for three games before we get knocked out, seeing as we know we're shite, really.

Speaker 1 Oh, God.

Speaker 1 I love that part of the world. You guys are fucking hilarious.
Scottish people are fucking hilarious.

Speaker 1 And they're not even trying to be. I swear to God, they just are.
It's amazing. It's effortless, effortlessly hilarious.
Anyways, continuing.

Speaker 1 If LA is to host a Scotland match, please share the location for where you're source

Speaker 1 your factor 50 sunscreen as you certainly won't be the only pasty bastard in town that week. You know what? I might go to the fucking Scotland game.
I might go.

Speaker 1 In the meantime, go take a flying fuck to yourself. Ben from Scotland, living in London behind enemy lines.

Speaker 1 I really want to thank you for that. I think you just gave me a not only,

Speaker 1 I mean, this is what I want to do, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 I want to go to

Speaker 1 the Scotland game because that's the part of the world most of my lineage is from.

Speaker 1 And then I got to go to a South America, some team from South America because of,

Speaker 1 I remember the first time watching the World Cup

Speaker 1 and watching Argentina and Brazil and all of those teams and the fans going crazy. I should go to a couple of games.
I really should do it. You know what? God damn it.
That's a great idea.

Speaker 1 And you know what's going to happen is I'm going to be having like acting work or something. I got a couple of things I'm doing next year that are going to take like a month.

Speaker 1 And God knows it's going to happen during the fucking World Cup. But thank you for sending me that.

Speaker 1 And anybody else,

Speaker 1 if you, if

Speaker 1 you know, obscure sports for an American, if you want to send them my way, and soccer still is, it's not an an obscure sport, but it's just down the list.

Speaker 1 I can't believe that announcer. Surely, surely that's going to be enough.
It's like, even I was going, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 Don't jiggle them.

Speaker 1 All right, surfers.

Speaker 1 Surely the Scottish fans have nothing to fucking worry about. Oh, for the love of Jesus.

Speaker 1 Surfers Journal.

Speaker 1 Hey, Billy, Beach Ball. Got gotta be talking about my head and my coloring.

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 1 was flipping through the pages of a relatively recent issue of the Surface Journal and came upon a portrait of you at Fenway Park by the talented Brian Nevin.

Speaker 1 You were sporting a Red Sox ball cap while peeking through the scoreboard. Great shot.
Well, you know what? I'm in my office and that picture is literally I have it framed above me

Speaker 1 right now

Speaker 1 above my couch here. The caption read:

Speaker 1 I do a lot of commercial work with celebrities, usually get 30 seconds to take their portrait and they're assholes the whole time, but I ended up spending six hours with comedian Bill Burr before the show.

Speaker 1 He was super cool. That's nice.

Speaker 1 He goes, such a camera cougar.

Speaker 1 What were you doing during those six hours?

Speaker 1 Jokes aside.

Speaker 1 Oh, six hours. I think I was doing, well, we walked around Fenway Park.
Then we did some, I think, other shots in Boston. And then he must have

Speaker 1 gone on like the press that morning, too. He probably did that.
He probably met

Speaker 1 or he also watched the show. It could have been that.
I don't remember. That was a long time ago.
But I've never had a six-hour photo shoot. So if I remember correctly,

Speaker 1 you know, we took one. I got a great one of me near the pesky pole

Speaker 1 calling the phone, the bullpen phone,

Speaker 1 sitting in the stands.

Speaker 1 being inside the green monster and then

Speaker 1 the fan loading the show, the fans leaving. I think he shot the whole show.

Speaker 1 I believe that that's what it was. And then he probably hung at the after party afterwards, where they let us smoke cigars in Fenway Park.
So it was probably all of that.

Speaker 1 Anyway, jokes aside, in my mind, the publication

Speaker 1 is to the surfing world what...

Speaker 1 Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Jokes aside, in my mind, oh, publication is the surfing

Speaker 2 world,

Speaker 1 is to the surfing world what the New Yorker is to the literary world I worship surfers journal as one of the few resisting temples in a vastly commercialized surf world seeing your mug in it was a great surprise yet unsurprising you managed to be popular and on the edge okay enough with the ass kicking As kicking.

Speaker 1 Sorry, I went back to my childhood. Okay, enough with the ass kissing.
Go fuck yourself yourself once and for all. Hope you return to France in the future.

Speaker 1 A la prochen, monomie.

Speaker 1 I think that means the next time, my friend.

Speaker 1 Or it's just an expression that means I'll talk to you soon or something. La semen prochen means next week.

Speaker 1 Dude, I'm really getting good at that fucking shit, like reading it and listening to it and understanding it. And I'm starting to understand chunks of dialogue.
It's really fucking exciting because,

Speaker 1 like you guys, I was in the public school system and it gives you all of these ideas. Sorry, I accidentally hit stop.

Speaker 1 What was I talking about? Public school system. Yeah, it gives you all of these ideas about yourself, most of them negative, most of them limited.

Speaker 1 Beyond teaching you to read and write, like they, they, you know, they get you into some sort of like popular, not popular sort of pecking order.

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 1 you get this, you know, you're sort of like, here, here's a book, read this, learn this, be tested on this.

Speaker 1 And you start

Speaker 1 getting this idea

Speaker 1 that life is just a series of people older than you telling you to do shit that you don't want to do. And you don't really get this thing in your head that,

Speaker 1 you know, when you go out into the world, you're free to do what you want to do and you're free to make like decisions.

Speaker 1 So, one of the things that I got in my head was that I had an inability to learn another language.

Speaker 1 And what was really going on was, you know,

Speaker 1 was the beginning of

Speaker 1 my childhood trauma started affecting my grades, and I had like massive, massive, massive ADD.

Speaker 1 Massive. Like, I remember it used to take me like 20 minutes to read a page in a book.
It felt like everything that I was reading made me think of something else.

Speaker 1 And for a long time, I was like, oh, I just had like ADD. I think a lot of my inability to focus

Speaker 1 had to do with a lot of the shit that happened to me. That someday, I don't know, I've always wrestled if I would ever like really delve into that stuff

Speaker 2 in some form.

Speaker 1 But I really feel like I want to because I know that that stuff continues to happen to kids, and you get like this, just this negative sense of self.

Speaker 1 Because I can definitely tell you that the younger me never would have thought that I would be able to learn French,

Speaker 1 never would have thought that I would be able to get through ground school, get a pilot's license, never thought that I would have the courage to go on stage to

Speaker 1 become a comedian.

Speaker 1 Never thought that, you know, all of this shit that I'm doing,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 I didn't think any of it was

Speaker 1 possible.

Speaker 1 But fortunately, I met a few people,

Speaker 1 you know, as I was just sort of ping-ponging, bouncing around in life

Speaker 1 that just somehow eventually led me into a comedy club. And through stand-up comedy and

Speaker 1 doing well as a comedian, it gave me

Speaker 1 a belief system in myself and made me then look at the public school education in a different light.

Speaker 1 And I discovered things like I enjoy reading.

Speaker 1 which is not something that you think going through the public school system when you're constantly told to read shit you have no interest in whatsoever, especially, you know, when you're a kid and you're, you're,

Speaker 1 you want to go run around and play sports and you become a teenager and you're falling in love and, you know, puppy love and all of that. Yeah, I want to fucking read Beowulf.

Speaker 1 What the fuck am I reading this shit for?

Speaker 1 Hey, Bill, what did you think of that story? I fucking thought it sucked. You know, it took me like nine hours to read it.
However, I can read the sports page in five seconds. And sports are not dumb.

Speaker 1 They're amazing. Sports are fucking amazing.
And if you play sports, it's fucking amazing and what it does for you and what you learn and learning through winning and losing and

Speaker 1 learning more through losing and how to pick yourself up and all of that shit. Fucking reading.

Speaker 1 That's the one that just stuck out.

Speaker 1 Where I just really felt like I'm just fucking dumb. That fucking Beowulf.
I don't know who wrote it when. It was super old.

Speaker 1 And it's in this old fucking English. And I'm just sitting there reading this shit.
Like, I had a hard enough time reading modern English. And I'm reading this shit.

Speaker 1 I had no fucking idea what it's about. And then I get tested on it and I flunk it.
And then, like, you know, they're calling your parents because I don't understand a fucking story, you know, written

Speaker 1 fucking a thousand years ago.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm going to go out in the world and have a job interview, and the guy across to me is going to be talking like William Shakespeare. It's this was the stupidest fucking thing.

Speaker 1 Really dumb. Anyway,

Speaker 1 so don't give up on yourself because of however you did in school or whatever your pecking order was. And fuck all of that stuff.
It's stupid. The whole thing is stupid.

Speaker 1 And all of those people, you never see them again.

Speaker 1 And they have all of this influence on your life.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 1 Billy French question. Oh, Billy Baguette, reaching out with a French question.
I recently started working for a French company.

Speaker 1 It's based in New York City, but I will have to go to France quite a bit. And about 50% of my colleagues are French.
It is in the French alcohol industry.

Speaker 1 So there's a lot of popping into stores, bars, and restaurants when we go to France. Dude.
I mean, that's what that country is. So much of that country is that.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's a dream job. The person says, I want to jump straight into what they all call table French to make this easier.
Basically, not sounding like

Speaker 1 le jackass in a bar at a restaurant. Words for drinks, ordering, all that crepe.

Speaker 1 But I don't want to.

Speaker 1 Get on the usual duolingo and do levels of the cat knows a dog. I want to jump to this specific type of vocabulary because it's what I need to know the most,

Speaker 1 but then I can get into the rest from there.

Speaker 1 I do speak

Speaker 1 Italian fluently, so the structure of romance language is there for me. Also, I know the super basics already: numbers, colors.

Speaker 1 So, I'm looking for tools/slash resources to jump right into this type of vocabulary. I figured you'd know all the good merd

Speaker 1 for this type of learning. Miercibo, coup, Bili Rouge, Bili Ghrouge.

Speaker 1 Well, you can speak Italian. How did you learn how to do that? You're actually beyond me because you're fluent in English and Italian.
So,

Speaker 1 all right, if you're ordering, I would go with je vedré, which means I would like,

Speaker 1 and then I would just,

Speaker 1 I would, I, I, you know, whatever types of restaurants you're going to, I would learn.

Speaker 1 Um, yeah, I, I, how do you just like fucking jump in?

Speaker 1 Like, if I walked into a French cafe, uh, bon jour monsieur, uh, juvenile crème café,

Speaker 2 uh,

Speaker 2 avec

Speaker 1 or, I don't know, pano chocolate. I don't know, you just

Speaker 1 Jambon is home, fromage is cheese,

Speaker 1 salad verde,

Speaker 1 salad verde.

Speaker 1 I don't know, you just have to learn

Speaker 2 Duvant.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think. I'm a little rusty here.

Speaker 1 You just,

Speaker 1 if you want, you know, Le Même shows means more of the same. You can point at your drink.

Speaker 1 Un otre, civuple means another.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I guess I would just learn how to order. I would maybe just get like a list of food

Speaker 1 and then a couple of phrases.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's a weird thing

Speaker 1 to do.

Speaker 1 But I would still be doing

Speaker 1 I would still be doing

Speaker 1 some sort of Duolingo because you're going to need all of those connecting words,

Speaker 1 like also the, and, some.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't, yeah.

Speaker 1 I like Duolingo. Duolingo is great.
I also read like French newspaper, Le Parisien,

Speaker 1 and I

Speaker 1 listen to the radio over there.

Speaker 1 I listen to that Euro One channel.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I actually feel like I don't feel like I can help you.
I feel you could help me. How do you speak Italian fluently?

Speaker 1 That's another. I fucking love that language.

Speaker 1 I like

Speaker 1 Spanish. I like French.
I like

Speaker 1 Italian.

Speaker 1 And I was listening to this guy yesterday when I was A couple of days ago, I took my son to the barbershop.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 he was speaking,

Speaker 1 I think, Russian.

Speaker 1 And that is just completely like,

Speaker 1 you know, where you hear like Italian, French, and Spanish, there's a lot of overlap, especially with Spanish and Italian,

Speaker 1 from what I've heard. But you can hear, like, okay, these people grew up next near each other.
But when you hear Russian, you're like, okay, this is like

Speaker 1 this was a world away

Speaker 1 you know before travel technology and all that if you lived that far away from the mediterranean sea everything sounded like that different but i don't know i'm i'm sort of obsessed with all of that stuff

Speaker 2 um

Speaker 1 but yeah i would just get some like phrases or whatever but you're also gonna be with like french people i would start talking to them in french trying to you know it's like learning an instrument and jamming with your buddy.

Speaker 1 Oh, I play guitar too, or I play bass, I play drums. You just, I would start doing that before you get over there.
And I think you, I think you'll pick it up pretty quick.

Speaker 1 If you already speak two languages, I feel like you probably have some sort of system, unless you just grew up in a duolingual house, so you don't really remember learning English and Italian.

Speaker 1 It just was.

Speaker 1 But if you learned Italian after you learned English, or if you learned English after you learned Italian, I would think you have some sort of system.

Speaker 1 I would be interested in that. And if people out there have a system that are fluent, I would love to hear it.
All right, when websites say they're out of the da-da, I scrolled back up again.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think that's the end of the questions, which will end up being the end of the podcast here, which is a little short.

Speaker 1 That's what she said.

Speaker 1 Because I've been up all night night now. Up all night, sleep all day.
That right. What band was that?

Speaker 1 That was right at the end.

Speaker 1 Right at the end of

Speaker 1 the band began with it.

Speaker 1 An S.

Speaker 1 Not savage, not sabotage.

Speaker 1 What the fuck was the name of that band?

Speaker 1 I don't fucking remember. That was like right at the end.

Speaker 1 I think Jane's Addiction had already released two albums at that point. Alice and Chains

Speaker 1 was about to release their second one. Nirvana was about to come out.

Speaker 1 Soundgarden was going to put out their second one.

Speaker 1 I don't know, Soundgarden, out of all those Seattle bands, that's my fucking band.

Speaker 1 Soundgarden is the fucking

Speaker 1 shit.

Speaker 1 And I feel like they are, they that was the best rock band of that era.

Speaker 1 I would put them up

Speaker 1 as far as that style of music.

Speaker 1 I love Pantera from that era.

Speaker 1 It's going to make me go fucking out my garage and go play drums at four in the morning. I can't do that.
All right. I need to get sleep because my kid's going to be up soon.
And I make breakfast.

Speaker 1 That's my job. I do the breakfast every morning to earn my keep.
All right, everybody, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all you guys for listening to this podcast again this year.
