Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr. It's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, December 1st, 2025. What's going on? How are you? Oh, I got up there. How did you know? How are you?

How's it going? How is your day going? My day is going fantastic. Is there anything better than hitting a couple of bets? You know, gives you a sense of control. makes you feel like you know something you know what I mean he just sit here and it's December 1st and it's fucking 81 degrees out in Los Angeles these fucking I will tell you this oh I am on one ooh Billy's on one these fucking local weather people I don't know what

I don't know what management is telling them but they are not bringing up global warming at all they're acting like it isn't happening they said there's the rest of the country's get snow I say no one of the grades out and it's just like even I know basking in the sunshine out here in the sunshine state

even I know as a comedian that extreme weather is happening and that to be like well it's fucking known in Chicago it's like it's supposed to be snowing in Chicago and it's supposed to be cool here

it's 81 fucking degrees out it feels like the like mid-September and it's December I don't know how they do it I mean the level of drinking that these fucking media because they actually know what's going on

they've been studying the chats forever they know what the fuck is going on like Paul Verzi knew the Carolina Panthers were going to give the Rams a game it's 24 21, 6, 20 to go in the third. I got the game on the flat screen here.

I like what the Panthers are doing here. They're trying to establish the run game here. They're chewing up the clock. Anyway, I just lost my whole train of thought. You know, at some point I'm going to realize with my ADD, I cannot, I repeat, I cannot have a TV on in the background. But it is what it is. I'll tell you, I'm starting to like, I've, fuck.

and play drums, flow helicopters, road motorcycles and all that. Like the shit that I hear now, I heard the beginning of this podcast, I thought the guy said, hey, it's Adam and Eve in the broadcast booth. And I'm going like, Adam and Eve, what is this, the fucking 700 Club? What am I watching here? Adam and Eve, oh, gee, what, they got some broad call in the game? And then they cut to them. It was Adam and Drew Brees.

I was just like, oh, it's Adam and Drew Breeze, not Adam and Eve. TV was turned down a little bit. Turned down for what? Can somebody tell me why they haven't put Little John in a commercial yet? A commercial yet where the fucking, it's for a five-star hotel, and they're showing all the amenities. And then like the fucking, not the waitress, the maid comes in, like, knocks on door and he opens the door and he's he's like you know yeah and she goes turn down service

and he goes turn down for what right and then they cut to the music and they're like marry it five nights only fucking 69 99 i mean if i am representing little john i'm not waiting for that offer i'm going out and i'm actively pitching it okay you can't sit on your hands in this business You can't sit on your hands in any business right now with the way these nerds are, you know, remember how nerds, you know, they used to get fucking picked up on in the sandbox and they take their toy and going home. They're doing that with entire businesses. And instead of going home with the toy, they're taking all the money and they're sticking in in their front pocket and they're walking away. And then they're just saying, oh, the business is shrinking.

Yeah, right into your fucking pocket, you greedy cunt. It's kind of amazing. I always thought that like the end of this shit was good. I just thought the people doing it were going to be a lot more sinister. You know, I guess classic like Hollywood cinema sinister. You know, big black mustache twirling it. That's what I thought it was going to be. I thought it's going to be type A psychos.

But I will say that the computer really leveled the playing field when it comes to diabolical behavior it used to be like nerds were nerds they nerded off with each other they put on mascot uniforms and they had their little fuck-off parties and you know in the middle of a dungeon and dragon game

I mean that's how they did it and then somewhere along the line a laptop got invented websites got invented and then online shopping and I don't know what happened everything's just everything went to like three people

Now I have to wonder Because behind the politicians Are these nerds That have swallowed up whole businesses And behind those nerds Okay Are the oil companies And the pharmaceuticals

And behind those people Is the Federal Reserve And behind those people Is the blue bloods That evidently go around the ocean in a giant armada that doesn't show up on any radar. They just sail around the world running shit. So I'm wondering, at what point are they going to feel that these nerds are getting

a little big, too big for their britches? Because all of a sudden, if you've got a billion dollars, you do have enough money to convince a former high school linebacker, not only to be your security, but maybe to take a run at that armada, if you get enough of them, you could promise them. Hey, you want to be a billionaire too? They are worth trillions of dollars. If you take out that fucking armada, I'll be a trillionaire and you guys will all be billionaires.

What do you say to that? I'll fucking do that shit. That's what I want to see. Enough with them coming at regular people. I want to see them go after each other. That's what I was really hoping for, you know? When that Luigi thing happened last year, man. Yeah, like over a year ago,

I was hoping that that was an organized hit. and that CEOs were finally whacking other CEOs and it just turned out that it wasn't the case anyway and that's another Panthers first down look at that look at that just going right down the goddamn field anyway buddy of mine from back east my family back east sent me a text last night because you know I'm always fucking whining

about the goddamn state of sports. And he said, you know, if you get a chance, watch Castellic destroys cider tonight. And he said, Visions of McQuaid, because one of my favorite fights, sort of in the end of the enforcer error before it became finesse, you know, which is just a different kind of hockey.

You know, it's sort of the ice capades mixed with hockey, I guess, more ice capades less NHL hockey that I grew up with there's this fight you got to look it up Adam McQuaid versus Rafi Torres and I remember

Rafi Torres came down on the right side and he jumped up a little bit and he elbowed Ference right across the face our other defenseman and McQuaid

without question went right over dropped the gloves and beat the fucking shit out of the guy and I just always remember seeing that. I don't think I've ever, in the modern era, well, before what it is now. It's just textbook defending of your teammate. Like, oh, is that how you guys are going to play? If this is how you're going to play, this is what's going to happen. And I'll tell you, the Phoenix coyotes became little chihuahuas after that, as far as they're cheap shit.

And so he told me, you know, because I was saying, you know, I went, sat front. row down in the front row for that Bruins Kings game. Thank you to the Bruins, hooking me and Jackie Flynn up. I was just amazed at the size of the players that could turn like Brad Marchant. He had like guys 6-6, 6-5, 6-7. And like those guys used to just be, first of all, they weren't even that big. If you were that big, you played basketball. And now they can actually play hockey.

and then it became you just sort of this enforcer guy. And now these guys, they're like that big and they can turn like a forward. It's insane. The level of skill. And I will tell you, when I was sort of in the back doing something for Nesson, I saw one of the players, like this is the level of savagery of the modern athlete. This guy's a hockey player.

It's before the game. And he's sort of doing this side gallop. Down the hall, juggling three tennis balls off of the wall, slowly galloping to the right and to the left. Like, these guys are working out their fucking brains. It's like, I thought going like, you know, 30 miles an hour backwards, trying to stop Carter McDavid was enough for your brain. But it's like, if we're going to stop this guy, we need to do this. I mean, it's really insane. The human ability.

I mean, back in the day, if you could do that, if you could gallop sideways and juggle three balls off of a wall, you were a fucking juggler. You were going to work for a long time in the circus, or at least doing college gigs around the country. You know? There was nobody in the NHL that could fucking do that. Now, I guess they do this before the goddamn game,

and it explains their hand-eye coordination and the insane level of uh talent i guess you know try to learn how to do that my brain gets older maybe i'll something new be funny if i tried it and i fainted it's too much dicking motor skills and hand i quarry i can um anyway uh old billy back on the road baby going out Tonight Tonight Remember that Phil Collins

song Oh Whole fucking song Gonna make it right Tonight tonight Tonight And he was so fucking Popular

He got away with that You know there was guys in the booth Going like Hey Phil Are you gonna Maybe write a Write a little more Stuff to say

Uh-uh Tonight Tonight Oh, I'm going to go out to some stand-up. I got a bunch of new shit that I'm going to try out. Very excited. And I get myself ready. I'm going up to Bakersfield, one of my favorite places to go.

Heading up there. What the fuck do I got with me? I think Ambria Allen and Dean Del Rey. I think that that's who I got. should be a good time man a little up and back there and um you got a good coffee spot up there by the time I get up there it's going to be closed

oh bill with the goddamn coffee when are you going to stop with the goddamn coffee all right here's another fucking here's another celebrity ad if I was Tommy Lee's from Motley Cruz's agent I would get him

there's a clip of him from back in the day doing a drum solo and you know he's talking to the crowd and he's in Tacoma and he keeps going Tacoma Tacoma! You know? All right Tacoma! Right? And they edit it all together trying to make it look all spinal tapy

but of course they cut out the amazing drum solo and all the other shit he said. So it looks like all he said was Tacoma 50,000 fucking times. It has a bunch of views if I'm his agent why not get him playing a drum solo going Tacoma a bunch of times

going upside down and all that and then in the end he drives off in a Toyota Tacoma bam there's another one see this is what you do

you try to get people that you like work okay and considering the nerds are swallowing up show business and everybody has to do commercials now you know I'm going to look out for people that I like

You know, I went to a Carolina Panthers game, everybody. I did it. It reminded me of the old NFL, that old stadium that they were playing in and all of that. It would be really cool if they're kind of a low-key, like, good team this year. By the way, does anybody have any idea who's winning the Super Bowl this year? I saw a game Tom Brady did, was announcing. And he, I don't know if he was thinking what I was, what I'm trying to say here. He said, this is a weird year.

And I think, I don't know, was he alluding to the fact that there's no clear frontrunner for the playoffs? Like, I think the chiefs are done. Unless they win all the way out and like 50 things happen, they got a bunch of division losses. I don't know. And the Ravens didn't step up. The Bills didn't step up. And my Patriots out of nowhere are killing it.

But like, I don't know. I mean, I just don't. I'm just talking like AFC here. Oh, by the way, my Patriots are playing the Giants tonight. You know, in the New York sports media who fucking blows New York Nick fans. And any time the Giants play the Patriots, they go back. Now they're going back 18 years. You remember when they were undefeated?

You know, and that whole myth that Eli Manning beat Tom Brady rather than it was the Giants Front Four that destroyed our offensive line and moved Tom off his spot and got him moving, which he wasn't comfortable. Or the second one when it was Brady to Welker and it was a little behind him and Welker didn't catch it and gave him the ball back. That's what fucked us on that one. But now it's becoming, Eli just had their number. Oh, was he a coach? Was he out there tackling? people. But that's what they're going to do. That's what they're going to do. And they're going to

ignore the fact that the Patriots went to five more Super Bowls. After that first loss to the Giants, one, three, lost two, one, a total of six and have more Super Bowls than the Giants, Bills, and Jets all put together. I don't know what to tell you. And Tom went on to win number seven with the fucking buccaneers. But if you want to act like, you know, Eli's a better quarterback than Tom Brady. You know, go ahead and have that. New York. You guys all know that you don't have to accomplish as much in New York.

If you do something in New York, it's never, oh my God, you do it in fucking Seattle. People forget. Ken Griffey Jr., each row. I mean, those were two of the greatest baseball players I've ever seen in my life. If they did that shit in New York City, oh my God. They'd have fucking statues in Times Square for it. all right maybe not that bill let's fucking relax um anyway plowing ahead here they're playing tonight um we'll see what happens i have no idea i have no i just can't believe that we're

10 and 2 it's like how the fuck are we 10 and 2 um we have the best record in the afc it doesn't make any sense on paper you look at the whole fucking thing it doesn't make it doesn't make any sense that it wasn't the Bills, Ravens, Chiefs, other teams got injuries, or even like, who knew? You know, old fucking Aaron Rogers with the Steelers. So I'll be honest with, I have no idea who's going to win basically from week to week, but I need a big week to catch back up with the bookie. I swear to God. I was right at 500.

after having a horrific start. And all it takes is one in three week. I pick four games a week. And then you just go under. Somewhere in November, you just go under and you don't resurface. Jesus Christ, look at the size of these fucking concussion-proof helmets. You know what they need to do

is they need to fucking elongate the human tongue and have it wrap around the human brain like it does on a woodpecker. because a woodpecker never gets concussions. There's no concussion protocol with the woodpecker. And evidently because it has a tongue, I can't believe it. I was on the internet. The tongue, the back of the tongue wraps around the brain

and fucking somehow cushions, whatever's going on here. Fucking stomach growling. Oh, Billy fucking trying to drop weight. Oh, Billy Diet Face. Oh, Billy Diet Face. I got to eat more, though. I haven't been eating lately. been fucking working having like a cup of coffee in the morning and then i just had fucking eggs

at noon you got to eat dude you got to eat bro you want to lose the fucking weight you got to fucking eat hey i don't have to fucking do anything well you know if you know if you don't want to accept the help that's out there i'll tell you when i go to the gym i always like low-key spy on like younger people's workouts like when they pick up the kettlebells or they do like body weight exercises it's just like shit from the future I mean, it's like, what is that? That's what a push-up looks like now? You know?

Or that one where they do a squat and they got like one kettlebell, kettlebell, they squat down and then they push the kettlebell up and then they stand back up. It's like, I guess this guy, is this guy, is that like an actual exercise or is this guy late for work? Because it seems like he's doing his shoulders. They do it all at once. I don't know. I just look at that stuff and I think about it for half a second. I was like, you know what? Dance with what brung you. You know, if I was 20, 25 years younger, I would try new exercises like that.

I would try that exercise out with like my socks balled up in my hand instead of a kettlebell. I'm not trying to go out there and fucking blow out an ACL doing a one-legged squat, pushing a fucking kettlebell up on the other. side to work my core um but anyways let's get to the holiday how was your holiday did you guys have a good one with the thanksgiving there did you avoid i didn't give you your pep talk your pep talk this is how you deal with family members when you when you now let's look at the game film considering it's after thanksgiving um one of the things i like to do when i feel like you know something

this probably isn't going to go well or something's going to get brought up shit that happened in the past politics ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, something's going to fucking, something's going to happen. I do this thing where when I'm talking to somebody

that I've had like difficulty with in the past, which I'm taking my, oh, you motherfucker, get out of bounds. I'm rooting for Paul Verzi's bed here I've had difficulty with people or whatever I'm doing this new thing where they start talking and I just let them talk until they figure out that I haven't

I just sit there and I nod and I nod and I nod a little more and then you know I nod some more and then they finally stopped talking and I just go, yeah, you know, I hear you. And then they'll just look at it. And they get it.

It's not that I don't have anything to add. It's just I don't want to do this. I don't want to get into this with you, man. Let's just fucking chill out and have a nice fucking, nice fucking dinner. I didn't have any desserts. old billy's dialed in i didn't do the fucking thanksgiving for breakfast every day like i used to i used to do that fucking i'd have thanksgiving and then i would have thanksgiving for breakfast friday saturday and sunday and then on monday i would go in and i would get my cholesterol

checked and the guy'd be like jesus christ we need to put your on lipidore and i would be like just relax i'll come back in a month it's like what the fuck are you checking it for the monday after thanksgiving this has got to be a big money day for you buddy what do you get 800 bucks per patient trying to get us on this shit. Do you know that they do that? Those fucking goddamn piece of shit pharmaceutical companies. Five, six, seven, eight hundred bucks

from what I've heard to get you on the drugs to bring your shit down and fuck up your kidneys or your liver. That's the game, man. Fix this while fucking up that. You know, like you've ever worked on in your house and as they're fixing that they're fucking up the door jam

bringing shit in and I it's just never fixed up it never ends I don't know let's see here I feel like the Rams are going to win this game but I don't think they're going to cover

it's 1115 to go in the game is 2421 the Rams are driving they got Matthew Stafford under fucking Santa and I just think he's got too much goddamn experience I think maybe they got a better coach.

Who knows? He's got a Super Bowl ring, right? Spend a two. Spend a two. We won one. Last time the Pat's won a Super Bowl, we beat the Rams. First time we beat the first time.

I don't care what city the fucking Rams are in. Oh my fucking God, what a catch. Holy shit. Sorry. What the fuck? He's definitely juggling some balls off a wall. That sounds dirty. What the fuck was that?

This is one of the sickest, one-handed catches I've seen in a minute. Stumbles, he catched, he caught it with his inside arm. God damn, that was a great catch. Dude, these fucking, today's athletes, okay? I don't like the rules of the game or whatever, but I will never take it away from. These are the most talented people that have ever played the fucking game. Touchdown Rams. And same thing with like fighters.

Like the fucking UFC fighters are the most insane. Just like how do you want to do this? You want to be on the ground. You want to stand up. You want to kick. What the fuck do you want to do? I can do it all. Like I feel like UFC fighters are kind of the legitimate like action.

Like the. all those action heroes that I watched when I was a kid and they were going to a bar and beat up like 80 fucking people. It was funny. All they were doing was throwing punches and grabbing them and sliding them across the bar. It was always a bunch of drinks. They'd always go up and over the bar and into some glass or they'd slam them, choke, slam them down onto a table.

And everybody weighed their turn. Okay? It was a respectful time. You didn't bring up politics or religion. And if 10 of you were going to fight one guy, you all always. waited, you fucking turn. If we learned anything from Bruce Lee movies, you wait your fucking turn, and then you go in

and then he fucking, you know, it was respect for his martial arts, the artistic way he did his martial arts. His artistry, that's what I'm trying to say. And you know all 100 of them, after they got their ass kicked by Bruce Lee, they all got up and they exchanged notes.

Like, how did he fuck you? up. Oh, he did this. He did with me. He did that. He fucking can do that too. Like Bruce Lee could have a hundred guys come in a hundred different fucking ways of fucking you up. But it was a movie.

These UFC guys actually can do that. Could walk into a bar and fight five regular guys. Oh my God. How quickly would you know you were in trouble? You know? if the bar was dark

and all of a sudden he gets in his grill and that's when you first clock the cauliflower ears and you're like, oh no. Let me rephrase that what I was trying to say. Anyway, fucking amazing, amazing, amazing.

So, yeah, hockey, the football, all of this shit. Oh, look at these guys in the steam room. it's an odd thing here I actually saw a fucking great really funny commercial today but you guys seen that Teddy Bridgewater

commercial where the girl's talking to the other girl and she's you know venting about her relationship that isn't working and then the other girl's not listening she goes ah that's it and then she calls in Teddy Bridgewater and he comes in

and he said Teddy Bridgewater back up listener and then he sits down and just the choice he makes The way he, you know, is sitting there listening was hilarious. He delivered the lines hilarious. And I was like, God damn, that is a funny fucking commercial. And for some reason, I figured I'd share it to you forgetting what he said. Hey, you know what? You're not a mechanic.

It's not your job to fix it. That's what he said. Something like that. Anyway, did you guys watch Alabama Auburn? The Red River. Not the Red River. The fucking Iron Bowl. That was a great game.

Alabama pulling it out in the end. but how about Auburn, man, just giving them a fucking game? That was a wildly entertainment, entertaining game. That's my favorite one out of all of them. Ohio State finally handled the Michigan Wolverines. My Michigan Wolverines, I love those guys, but. And now, as always, every couple of years, Lane Kiffin is looking for a new gig.

You know what I mean? I was joking with the buddy of mine where he's like, it's like one of those actors that always had like a new sitcom that was coming out like lane kiffin is forever going to a new college program like he was at tennessee he was at u sc he was at alabama mississippi and now my buddy's an ls u fan he's thinking what do you think if he comes in coaches at ls u i don't know did did he come up to the nflb like lane kiffin is a guy

but you know I will say everywhere he goes he does make the program better they do become winners so he knows what the hell he's doing but he doesn't stick around

he's got that he's in the almond brothers you know he just got to keep moving Lord I was born a rambling man I think in the end of it he might coach every team in the SEC see he's already been at three i know he wasn't the head coach at alabama but he's been at all he's been it's probably been to more i have no fucking idea um anyway uh i don't have the reads yet i was

trying to knock out a half hour of this because i got to uh i got some bidness a fucking business tomorrow um just trying to get ahead of it here gonna watch the rest of this game though wait for my reads and all that shit to come in and as always with the magic of editing you're not going to have to wait All right, I'm back.

Finally, the rock has come back to the questions. All right, holiday bums. By the way, I don't want to get all the emails like, wow, dude, your energy totally fucking changed. I know it did. I'll admit it. I can chill. Is that what you want?

You want me to back off, man? Huh? You say the word and I'll fucking back off, bro. How about the fucking Jets for no fucking reason deciding to win game three this year? God forbid you get a good draft pick Holiday Bums That was the ugliest game-winning field goal I've ever seen in my life

All right, holiday bums Hey Billy Boy, I'm here to bitch a little Well, you've come to the right place And given me a break from my bitching People who don't go to town At the holidays are wasting their lives People who don't go to town At their holidays are wasting their lives

I don't mean people who can't afford it. I'm talking about people who are too lazy for tradition. Oh, you mean go all out? I'm taking everything literally. I'm like, well, what town? What town are we talking about? Christmas town? Thanksgiving town?

P-town for a fucking Halloween? Oftentimes, these people will act so enamored by other cultures and traditions, but when it comes to their own lives, they'd rather watch Netflix marathons and stare at it. their phones. All right. Well, which holiday are we talking? We're talking Thanksgiving?

Because if you tap out on Thanksgiving on Halloween, I got a problem with you. But, you know, if you don't do shit for Christmas, because you see it for what it is, if you've got kids, you've got to do something. But if you're an adult, like, what are we doing? Let's just take the day off and save our money. All right?

You know what my gift is? My gift to you is you don't have to get me shit. I won't get you shit. How about that? oftentimes these people will act as you can see I'm covering a lot of ground here

all right well geez you're not shy about you're giving yourself a compliment there you are covering a lot of ground there I guess I was supposed to say that why yes you are you are covering a lot of ground me and all the listeners well we're going to try to keep up with you buddy

said I think my generation I'm 38 has given up a lot on tradition because they simultaneously hate themselves and think they're better than everyone. Well, a lot of times when you hate yourself, then the ego has to come up to balance you out. You know what I mean? It's like the old doing, you know, you did too much coke, you drank a little bit of alcohol to try to bring it down.

That's my generation. And that's, and what's with people showing up to others' houses in sweatpants? I agree. I didn't grow up in a buttoned up, no pun intended household. We were middle of the ground when it came to a lot of things, but at least up until at the age of 16, my mom made us dressed nice when we were going to our grandparents' house. One set of cousins would show up looking like slabs. You don't need a suit and tie, but at least wear something you wouldn't wear on a sick day. Thanks for hearing me out. Go fuck yourself. You know what? I agree with a lot of that. If someone doesn't want to

Be involved in the holidays I actually think that's kind of cool Like Christmas If you like I'm not fucking doing that shit I actually think that's great Because then you're not behind You don't have to worry You're not stressing

You're not going to websites Now when you give them the email Then you've got to confirm that it's you By the way you don't you don't have to confirm like I didn't confirm and I was still able to buy something like I was trying to buy these fucking light bulbs today

the overhead lighting the track lighting so I'm trying to get the warm whatever the fuck it is the warm light not the soul-sucking fluorescent light you know like I'm you know an office building in 1968

I don't want to be underneath that shit and I was perusing. They have, you know, bright light, something. I went soft. I think it was soft white. That's what I wanted. They had all these different ones, and they didn't have the ones that I wanted,

so I just keep looking and looking. And then one of the light bulbs, you actually had to download an app for the light bulb. Meaning that the light bulb was somehow tracking you and taking information. I told you, I got a new refrigerator. in my kitchen and I opened it up and by the third day I looked in and I go is that a fucking camera there's a camera so then they sell these things online to cover up the camera so I'm like I'm not

using those things like why would you sell make the camera and then sell the thing to cover it up I feel like you guys are both in business you get money off me twice and it's more like sunglasses on the camera so it looks like to me you blocked the camera but you really didn't so I got I got like electrical tape and just put it on fucking good You fucking kids Definitely with the The dressing down Like dressing like bums

If I was a young man right now I actually think dressing shop Would get you a lot of ladies Because everybody else is I don't know Maybe he's talking about older people There is something about When you get older too

If you still dress nice People respect you more They notice you Makes you feel good about yourself If you don't dress nice, like you're sending out to the world that you quit. And everybody's just like, okay, duly noted, noted. Don't need to deal with that guy. That's the fashion equivalent in my business of being part of somebody's entourage.

If you want to make it in this business, the last thing you do is become part of somebody's entourage. because then you are no longer seen as somebody trying to make it. You are seen as sort of an extension of the person they actually want to hire from the movie or give the gig to. And you're just sort of the fucking wacky sidekick. You turn yourself into Robin. And then you got to fucking, you know, you got to hang around and wait to whoever's running the entourage, ready to go and everybody's going to like fucking you know such a weird dynamic the entourage and then is the performer to have an entourage that's also a dangerous thing because then

your good mood becomes like currency so no matter what's going on everybody's going to act like everything's fucking great to keep you in a good mood so everybody gets paid so then you don't start you stop like not understanding if you're doing quality work. These are just my opinions, people. All right? Take it or leave it, okay? You know what? I covered a lot of ground on that. Like that last listener, he did cover a lot of ground. He went from fucking sweatpants to, you know, put up a Santa hat. Put a Santa hat on you, bastard. All right, ordering the dinner. Dear Bill Giblet face. Oh, Jesus, insulting me. This year, my sister, in-law and insisted we go to her house for Thanksgiving.

Okay. This would be fine, except I'd rather go to my parents' house because that's where I'm going to feel the most comfortable. Know the food is going to be great, and I have to have a holiday in my childhood home. The holy trifecta. All right, I like how you're thinking here. So after convincing my family to have it at her house, we expect. I expected her to go all out. Oh, no. But my mother and my wife wanted to bring something like dessert or aside. She refused and said she had it all covered. My spidey sense didn't like any of this. Oh, my God. I've been to a Thanksgiving like this. And I remember I snuck out. I forget what my excuse was. Oh, I remember I snuck out and said I was going to go down to the laugh factory.

feed food to the homeless, which I did for like seven minutes, and then I went next door to Greenblats, and I got a fucking Thanksgiving dinner. Um, all right. But my mother and my wife, no, no, no, no, okay. My sputty sense didn't like any of this. Well, I was right to have my concerns. We show up, and there's a huge spread, but she ordered it from a local place that basically is a whole food type store. I wouldn't be so pissed except that she was hyping up all the work she was doing. The food wasn't that bad, but it wasn't a home cooked. It wasn't my mom's work.

I didn't go in with the good attitude, but the fact that she was talking up the meal and all she did was have to pay for it and pick it up, kind of rubbed me the wrong way. yeah like i mean anybody could have done that but she should have said it you're turning down home-cooked meals or like sides in a dessert you at least could have had that he goes i know i sound like a whiny cunt who's not thankful at a time when i should be no no no you're 100% right you had another place to go to that was going to be home-cooked food and you you showed up and she went to Ralph's. Anyway, the person says, I'm thankful that everyone is happy and healthy and that I have access to food, but give me a fucking break. Don't be proud of ordering food. Either you're

cooking or you're a live-in waitress, acting as the face of the food you didn't make. I went to a restaurant today and I had to figure out their fucking iPad and I ordered everything and then in the end they asked me for a tip. So then if you give a tip, the people behind the account it goes to management and then they give a percentage of that it's such fucking bullshit but you know people use apple pay stupid the same people who use apple pay are going to use those driverless cars they're so dumb they're such stupid fucking people they just don't think phasing out cash jesus christ what the fuck are you doing now they're going in the future they're going to know every fucking transaction you ever did and then they're

going to fuck you even harder on taxes, and when you bitch about it online, you're going to get into your own driverless car, and the doors are going to lock, and it's going to take you to go get fucking re-educated. It's a police car. It's your own private police car, and you're going to be microchipped, and you're going to be in the fucking car, and they'll just press a button, and it will drive you to them to begin the torture. I'm sorry, re-education process. All right, getting a little crazy here. We're talking Thanksgiving, Bill. Relax, all right? Let's not fucking Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Hockey films. Bill, hope all is well.

Listening to your November 24th Monday morning podcast and thought I would send a message from the state of hockey. Minnesota, absolutely. This week's podcast, you brought up two things that caught my attention. Obscure films and old hockey. Have you seen the 2005 Canadian film The Rocket about Maurice Richelior? I haven't. Fantastic film. It shows hockey and life before your or my time. I am older at 64. Very

eye-opening life, both on and off the ice. If you have not seen it, please do. A lot of it is in French so you can polish up on your French speaking skills. I listen to so much French. When I listen to Canadian speak French, it doesn't sound like French to me. Another off-the-beaten path watch you might enjoy is the Canadian TV series The Tournament 2005 I got a couple for you

The Boys on the Bus which sounds like a gay porn but I swear to God it isn't is about the Edmonton Oilers I think before they won their first cup Paul Coffey Gretzky, Messier, Yari, Curry Grant, Fierre

Glenn Anderson, all those motherfuckers Mike Cruz Shonisky didn't he go over there from the Bruins who else went over there Oh, God, what the fuck? Craig McTavish. Anyway.

And, of course, slap shot. Everybody's seen that one, though, right? Another off the young blood. Another off the beaten path about the tournament. It's a mockumentary style show about youth hockey and how nutty the adults are. The funniest thing I can remember about this series is how a parent talked about Uncle Phil,

meaning Phil Esposito, always stopping over at his single mother's home and ending up making pancakes for him the next morning. Phil does appear in the episode. Having raised two boys in this state, youth hockey was unavoidable, so I lived that nonsense. Happy holiday to you and your family.

That's a fucking great idea. I got to watch that. The tournament 2005 and the rocket. I would love to read that or see that film as they say as they say as you say as they say

anyway how much fucking time have I done here 20 minutes plus 29 oh God we're up to 50 minutes just like that dude just like fucking that all right so now we are into December have a December

to remember go online and buy a bunch of fucking shit You don't need. Celebrate the fucking bastard in your life. I got my shit all done. My wife bought some things. My lovely wife bought some stuff. So I have to wrap these.

And once I wrap these, I am done. I'm ready to go. I'm going to go get the goddamn tree. You know? I used to get one on Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving, I would just immediately go right into it. But then the thing like dies.

You know, it doesn't like, turn brown but like all the branches are like hanging down like it's a it jumped off a bridge and it's about ready to hit the water you know it wants to fucking knife in like it threw it threw a rock down i still don't get that like you throw the rock down so the water's moving if the water's moving it's not it doesn't feel as hard it doesn't feel as bad as concrete um i finally understand why at a certain speed water hurts. I guess it just

can't get out of the way fast enough. I've jumped off a few things that are a little higher and my feet hit the water. I remember it's like, oh, that fucking hurt. Oh, Jesus.

The worst is when you jump off a bridge to kill yourself and you don't. die that's got to be the worst then you're like suicidal and like stinging oh god and you wanted to kill yourself before your body was all fucking red and stinging jesus christ now how fucking suicidal are you um anyway um how the fuck did i end up start talking about suicide you should reach out for help though i learned that one you know now when i was suicidal just when i was going through some shit i used to there's so much shit you hear and

you just don't think it applies to you you know like you know if you're going through something you should reach out talk to people and i always hear that i was always i used you know when i was younger i was like that's fucking gay right um yeah this year you know i kind of went through some shit and I reached out to some people and I was like, that does, that actually makes you feel a lot better as opposed to just sitting there doing the John Wayne thing. Well, I'm just going to sit here and deal with it myself, you know? That's not the way to go because you don't have any answers. And then you come up with the solution and then that's how that goes, man.

It is a slippery goddamn slope. All right. So Monday night football. The Patriots verse The Giants. I got a good feeling. I know the Giants got a bunch of injuries. I don't know. We will see. We will see. It will be funny to watch Giants still living their glory days.

I do. Whenever they give me shit, I go, you realize that was like fucking 17 years ago. Hey, you remember. two decades ago. Yeah, yeah, I do. It's fading, but yeah, I do. You know? Do you remember the decade after when we won three more Super Bowls? Do you make some reason you don't remember that part? That's weird. You also remember we also lost to the Eagles. You weren't the only ones. So, I mean, I don't fucking. New York is weird like that. They get something on and they just want to keep doing it for fucking ever. Long past when it matters.

I like that they finally said fuck Boston. They finally like moved on from that 1918 cadence when they were trying to go, Boston sucks. That right there should let you know. All right. You know what New York and Boston have in common is most of the smart people there are from somewhere else. Like Boston has this weird thing. where it's like the meathead capital of the world, you know? You've been listening to me for an hour, so obviously you know that's true.

And then we also have like MIT and Harvard, B.U and all these smart schools, dude. Nobody I knew went to those fucking schools. I knew a bunch of people that went to Quincy Jr. or Bunker Hill Community College. UMass Amherst, dude. Go out there, come out of there with like back in the day, like, you'd come out of out like 30 grand in debt and fucking cirrhosis of the liver and you'd know at least one person that knew somebody that was the person that fell off the elevators they used to ride elevators like they'd jump back and forth and kids would like they would have fatalities at their

parties out there it's fucking insane fucking insane school i i don't think i ever went there i went to umas boston but i never went to uh i didn't tell you guys that i went to umas boston for a few semesters. I did tell you this story. It was just told, everybody commuted. So everybody just came to class and they got the fuck out of there. And one time the kinks were playing. And we were all thinking

like, that's not like the kinks, the real kinks. That's like is it spelled with like a lowercase K or some shit? What is this? And I took a chance and it was the actual kinks and they didn't promote the gig and there was like fucking 80 people there. And I, and the kinks

fucking destroyed and that was the best that was my best memory of going to UMass Boston used to take the red line in from Quincy Adams then you know

and I was psyched taking the train in I felt like I was you know because I was a suburb kid I thought I'm taking the subway so I feel like I'm taking the red line like I'm some badass right then after about month I'm like the fucking subway sucks so then I would go to Quincy Center

and I then I'd go to Walston Pete I would go all the way to that last one North Quint not North Quince what was that last stop called and I would just take it like one stop over that goddamn bridge and I would be right there and I would pack my truck

but then I'd be more towards the inner city then you get your fucking radio stolen those were the days and you knew when you were there all right that's the podcast everybody i was serious about that you know if you're going through some shit call up a buddy you'll feel better you'll feel better don't just sit there by yourself sulking you'll get through it um then you got a story and then you're stronger because you got through it all right that's it everybody go fuck yourselves and i'll check in on you on thursday Thank you.
