Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday. May 4th, May Day, May Day, May 4th, uh, 2000, 6, 6. What's going on? How are you? How's it going, man? Oh, shit. I am, uh, I am a happy man.

I'm an anxious man. And I'm, as far as, sports go. I was really hoping for a game seven against the Buffalo. Sabers, but the great Lindy Ruff. I feel like they figured us out after game two. And, you know, and then game five. You knew the Sabres weren't going to win at home so their fans could actually have a

good time. By the way, overrated, rooting for Buffalo fans as if they're these good people. You know, there's a thing that happens when your team keeps fucking losing and they never fucking win. There's like this, this empathy that other sports fans get or ESPN get. And they start building this fable that, you know what? It's just a bunch of knock-around fucking blue-collar people. All they want life is a fucking, well, fuck you.

That's not. They want what everybody else wants. They want everything. They do. They just haven't gotten it for whatever fucking reason. I don't know why. But let's not overly romanticize these people like they're good. These are the same people.

I went to a Bill's Jets game and had a Patriots hat on. I was rooting for the Bills. And all right, you want to give me some shit? Fine. I go into the fucking men's bathroom. I'm taking my dick out to take a piss and some guy pushed me in the back. I mean, fuck those guys. Okay?

I'm not saying I'm not rooting for the Sabres. I'm just saying this whole idea that, oh, gee, they're just out there, you know, crying in their fucking Buffalo Wild Wings, you know, no, no, they're cunts just like anybody else. The same ratio of cunt to cool people exists in Buffalo as it does, you know, whoever's fucking winning everything right now. Who is winning everything? Is anybody got the whole? I'll tell you what's happening to the fucking Boston sports.

I will say this. If we're going to lose, I like the way it's happening. We're getting the old right there, Fred. I mean, the Super Bowl was two behind the ear. Once we came out in the second half and it was more the same. I like, you know, those losses don't hurt. What hurt is when it's like, you know, three, two, one, you know, fucking Eli Manning throwing backwards through a fucking walking closet.

Those are the ones you're just like, what the fuck that fucking dropped in there. another shit pass that somebody had to catch with the fucking side of their helmet and Eli gets all the credit it's not Tyree he didn't just fucking put the team on his belt oh I guess it was Eli um I always picture that guy

watching that replay now that he's retired Tyree watching that leg look they don't fucking say anything about me it's all about Eli driving the fucking he threw it right to Asante San And then Sante drops it and then I fucking caught it on my helmet. What the fuck? Nobody's ever done that. Not even in a regular season game.

I did it in a Super Bowl to keep a drive alive to defeat an undefeated team. And I get nothing. I get nothing. That's when he calls the front four, the Giants going, do you believe this shit? It's all fucking Eli. He's the knee alarm strong of this shit? All right. Okay.

Anyway, so the Sabres beat my Bruins. The Celtics evidently lost the game seven, six or seven to the Sixers. I don't watch the NBA. I watch the NBA when the Bruins get knocked out of the playoffs or don't make the playoffs. That's when I start watching the NBA. So we got knocked out. And by the time I figured out the schedule, the Celtics got knocked out. So, yeah.

So it's been like, you know, as much as what takes. and loss is right and left. They're quick. They're ripping the band-aid off. First round of the playoffs. You know, never got going in the Super Bowl, so I can handle that shit. So now I can just look to the Red Sox. Ownership has fired the entire fucking management, not management, the coaching staff. And, you know, and here we go. I was at my gym this morning. You know, you always got to do a big push right before your birthday. I got fucking Jack Lambert. I got 58 coming up this year. And I got to make sure, you know, I'm fucking,

I keep the spare tire, you know, being the right size for this car, if you know what I mean. I don't need a fucking 18 wheeler spare. So anyway, I go down to the gym. I'm doing legs and eggs. Foxy lady shout out. And, dude, there's this fucking, like, I go, like, I've always gone to like,

you know, I go to low-key shit. You know what I mean? I'm not into the whole fucking, you know, whatever those big gyms are, you know, where you're going to work out and you come out with a mistress. Oh, I got to snort. I just made myself snort. Isn't that nice?

Anyway, those fucking gyms, you know, where the women show up. And it's like, I don't think you need to go to the gym. I think you did it. You're totally in shape, and you have on full makeup. Like, what are you doing here? Just over here working out next to the fellas. I stay away from those.

I go to the ones where you're like, is that person a member of this gym, or did they wander in off the street? Those are the kinds of places. I've always been members at those gyms. Because you can get out of the membership. That's basically it. I had a bad experience with the Bali's total fitness.

And what they mean by total is like, they're going to fucking take money out of your credit card for the grand total of the rest of your life. life. It's like I went in there for a gym membership. I came out with a mortgage. So I don't go to those places. That's not my jam. So I always go to the weirdo ones, sporadically, you know. And I go over there today. Everybody's cool. And there's this one guy just working out in street clothes. He reeks. And after every set, he's getting. He's getting up adjusting his junk to the point it's like is he sort of low-key keeping himself semi-hard like what

is going on you know he he looks like he's he's waiting to like you know like you know and you're tag team you're waiting to tag in like he's these he's in like a porno and he's trying to have himself ready the guy fucking reeked and uh of course he's using the machine like right across from me and uh and like what do you know what do you know what do you you do? What do you do? What am I going to do? I'm going to fucking say something to the guy. And the next thing you know, me pushing 60, I'm now rolling around on the floor with a smelly street closed, semi-hard street person. I'm not doing that. I'm just going to continue listening to my music, shaking my head and muttering to myself. Oh, can I, here's like a just an announcement for

everybody. Having people, having full-on conversations on speaker in gyms and in elevators is not cool. It's not cool. Although it is sort of a nice like, like fast forwarding through like a whole relationship, you know, where when you're younger, you ignore signs like that. Where when you get older, you're like, oh, this person's a douche and not worth my time. And I am going, I am going to move on from this. I'm a little fucking wound up. I'm not going to lie to you. Like once a year, somebody will send me, one of my friends will send me like the clip of

Ginger Baker. It's one of my favorite fucking lines ever. when he's trashing John Bonham in Keith Moon. And I don't know. It used to be funny to me. Now it's like sad when I look at it. Like when you get to be my age, you see a lot of people work on themselves

and they turn themselves around. And then there's those other people where you're just like, they are, they're just never going to get it. And this guy was still jealous and envious of two drummers that had been dead at that point for like 30 fucking years. And he was still talking about him. This guy couldn't do this.

This guy couldn't do that. And he actually kind of made a joke. He said, you know, making a joke about how they were dead. You know, if they were still around, you could ask him. Like they would agree with him. Like, yeah, Ginger, you're right. You're right. We suck.

We suck and you're amazing. I'm glad you said it because now I don't have to say. say it. Yeah, I don't know. That guy, I don't, it's weird. I like that guy. I like the bands that he's played in. But every time I see that clip, it makes me want to like shit on him. Like, dude, you are not in the conversation as the greatest rock drummer of all time. And you're not in the conversation even remotely as the greatest jazz drummer of all time. Like, and I think that really bothers you. So you constantly say it about yourself and it works because he ends up being in the conversation. I've seen that in other areas of entertainment. People who aren't that good and they're

just always talking about themselves and the next thing you know, you know, that kind of works in the media. If you just keep saying something about yourself, if you keep fucking saying it, the media will just start saying it. So they keep bringing him up. Like I, you know, I would rather listen to fucking I don't want to bring up other drummers that I would rather listen to because then they'll get hate because of what the fuck I'm saying or whatever I'm just there's so many

other drummers that I just felt like had a better groove, came up with better drum parts and then that guy. I'm not saying he's not a great drummer. He absolutely was, look at the musicians he played with. Obviously he is a great drummer,

but like he's just not in the conversation, even fucking remotely, in my opinion, as the greatest rock drummer of all time. I mean, I don't know what's like, but then what he covers his bases is that the fact that I don't realize that he's way better than Bonham and Keith Moon is because I'm stupid, because I'm part of the general masses. And evidently, I am stupid. So when I listen to Keith and John play and I get chills, And Ginger bores me to tears. That's not because they're better, more creative,

more dynamic, electrifying drummers than Ginger. It's because I'm stupid. I mean, the guy was like almost 80 years old saying that. I'm the greatest of all time. And if you don't think so, that's because you're stupid. Like, can you fucking imagine that? It's like an 80-year-old Ron Burgundy. I'm kind of a big deal.

How are you? Well, shouldn't I have known that just by listening to you? I mean, for my money. Okay, the band, Cream, you had a virtuoso guitar player in Eric Clapton. Just an incredible guitar player. But I just thought, like, Jack Bruce was the guy. Their bass player, his singing, his phrasing,

his just his musical ability. and he, by the way, later on, there's an incredible video of Jack Bruce playing with Tony Williams and they compliment one another so well and there's no, you know, I never heard Tony say anything bad about Jack, unlike Ginger when he decided to have a drum battle with Elvin Jones. And Elvin was like, all right, I'll fucking do it, you know?

Everybody's listening to rock music. So I'll, I'll fucking, you know, you want to use me for credibility? I'll use you for eyeballs. And they had a fucking drum battle. And Elvin in the end was just like, that fucking guy is like not it. He is fucking delusional. And they need to send him, NASA should send him to outer space and lose him is what he said. So I don't know.

Elvin must have been stupid too. I don't know. Yeah, he's kind of the Ron Burgundy of. drummer. I don't think he's that bad. I don't think he's that bad. But I mean, I don't, I fucking, you know, once a year, I'll put on a cream album and I try to like, and it's Jack Bruce and it's Eric. And then he's just back there, do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-down the fuck in the white room with black crumbah. Wim-wap-be-bob-bub-bub-bub. It's just like, okay? I'm not saying that doesn't work for that song. Right, it's fucking stupid

Because I wasn't just going Bududududum, buddum, but I was also going One, and for the fact that I was doing a polyrhythm With my left leg on the fucking high hat Oh, is that what you were doing? Well, that must be stupid. Right, me right side was going

One, two, three, four In my left side was going One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one. No, is that what you were doing? Oh, okay. All right, well, maybe, maybe you should should pick one of those numbers and do that because I'm too dumb to know what's going on. Anyways, out of all the fucking shit that I could stir up, I'm going to stir up something

about drummers from fucking 50 years ago, 50, 60, coming up on 60 years ago. Anywho, anywho, so that was my, that was my week. Oh, Billy is, he's back in the gym. he's doing his thing and uh I thought I was past this fucking tennis elbow thing man I have this great stretch for it that is it's been good in my regular

life but when I um when I go to do stand up just holding the microphone just like that it just fucking sets it off again I gotta hold it in the other hand until this fucking I don't know

till it heals it's it's it's it's it's it's it's annoying it's annoying it's annoying i just have to just constantly keep stretching it and then i gotta i gotta get like some sort of strengthening thing and massage thing going i don't know what i have to do but it's driving me nuts i will say this i will say this and you know what you can't stop me what i said it i'll fucking say it again um i'm a fucking Caucasian with opinions and i'll fucking stay him. I went down to the comedy club last night. And I went up there and just fucked around

and was just saying the silly as stupid as shit. Somehow I compared the Holocaust to like Aerosmith. I don't even know what the fuck I was talking about. I think it was just about just focusing on that rather than their entire body of work was like just listening to walk this way and not like actually buying toys in the attic. It was one of those sets where somehow that made sense without disparaging

Arrowsmith and still acknowledging what the Nazis did. I was fucking and, you know, and then I came home and I tried to tell Nia and I fucked it up and I was just like, all right, that's it. That was it. I'm not going to try to duplicate that. That just happened. And I walk away from it. And that's what I learned from musicians who play a,

song differently every night. I just love that cavalier attitude. They don't like, like a truly great musician does not hang on to every fucking thing they ever did. It's just like, that's what I felt in that moment because the guy in the keyboards played this. So that came out. I'm not going to, you know,

I'm not going to try to play that again tonight. What I'm going to try to do is be wherever the fuck I was mentally. So when somebody says something else tonight, I have a different response that surprises me. So music stays fun, so I stay alive and I stay present. And then the band's this living, breathing thing. And the audience is having a great time so I can keep living my dream. I try to do that, but I do that with shit jokes.

What Ginger Baker does would be like listening to a comedian shitting on Richard Pryor and George Carlin, just saying that, you know, that they couldn't fucking whatever, you know. You pick a skill that a comedian has, equivalent to swinging as a drummer. And that, can you, would you even listen to that fucking comedian? You know what? You'd probably go see them live just to see, you know, how bad they were. I don't know.

It's not a good look. Oh, really, Bill? Shitting on your contemporaries? It's not a good look. What other fucking gems do you have? I'll tell you have another gem. I actually think I'm watching, I'm going to watch the fucking Canadians, Tampa Bay Lightning Game 7.

And the Bruins fan in me is obviously rooting for Tampa, but the fan of hockey that I am, it's just, it's great for the NHL when the Canadians are good. It's just great. Like to have that franchise, their fans sitting on their fucking hands crying into their little fucking pocket squares every March for the last 30 something years, you know, as funny as it's been, it's been one of the great comedies that I've watched. I mean, they haven't sniffed a cup since last century. It's kind of funny to me. So, but I'm also like a fan of the history and I also don't fucking.

hate on greatness. And the Canadians were fucking great when I was growing up. They were, they were fucking great. And they knew how to fucking win. And it was part of their tradition. And when people went to go play, they played above their skill set because it was there. And that shit has been dormant like a fucking volcano. And I got to be honest, you're watching how crazy those fans are going. I mean, you can't hate on that. I mean, I don't like the Canadians. It's really their fans. It's kind of their fans are just funny to me. They're just so not, they just so don't look like hockey players.

They all look like CEOs to me. Figuring out a way to fucking underpay you and take more money for themselves. All right. So here's a segment that I want to do on my podcast. It's called Hey Gunnuts. All right. All right. All these second.

people who are arming themselves in case they need to defend themselves against tyranny in their own country. And I just feel like they seem to just stay focused on non-white people, immigrants, and liberals. In other words, they look at what the people who are actually oppressing them tell them what to look at. I'm not saying people on the other sides don't do the same thing. But all you gun nuts out there, you know, here's a great time. I'm going to I'm not saying to take out your guns. I'm just saying all you guys who are like, you know, of the mindset in understanding that the people that rule you can actually become oppressive and need to be put back into place,

proper place, by the common man, that's a great mindset. And I respect the fact that you guys think that. All right? But it's like you're watching a magic show and you keep watching the hand that's waving other than the other one that's fucking, you know, doing. the air, air quote, magic. So in a couple of years, 2027, evidently,

this AI technology is going to be in all cars. And if you don't come to a full stop, all that information is going to go to insurance companies, evidently. And if you don't come to a full stop, they're going to use it as a way to increase your premiums.

Okay? So my thing is, where is the AI watching them? Right? For when they collect. premiums and then when somebody has a claim they say go fuck yourself and then sick a bunch of lawyers on you you know like all of you guys that you know that really are aware that the people that are in power can abuse that power when are you going to start folks when are you going to get

past the fact that those are white people doing that to you and that just because they're white doesn't mean you're that they're on the same team they're on a different team And they're the ones fucking you in the ass. And I don't care how many people's moms you put in the fucking alligator alcatraz. It's not going to change until you guys start looking at the right fucking people. Now, you can't expect liberals to do it. You know, we're all a bunch of pansies. You guys are the real men.

So I think you got it in you to affect change. If both sides complain about that. What fucking world are we living in? That you can't even drive down the street. Somebody's going slow and every once in a while just drive around them. That's going to cost you money. And then people are going to be like, well, what's the fucking point of driving? And then we're all going to get those Waymo cars, which is like fucking climbing into a goddamn microwave.

And then they're going to slowly cook us all to death as they bring in the robots. Now, God damn it, if you're smart enough to arm yourself, you ought to be able to see. see through that. This is just a bunch of fucking pencil pushing fucking suit wearing jackasses. I'm actually, I'm really talking to everybody at this point. Like, how much more of our fucking lives? Like, refrigerators are going to spy on you? Everything comes like you buy a light bulb. It's a smart light bulb. It's just listening. Like, everything that they sell you now is to gather information. If I could do this shit all over again, like, I love the fridge I have in my office. You know what I love about it? It's just a refrigerator. I got one of those smegs.

and as right now a smeg there's no video there's no microphone there's nothing it's a device that keeps things cold so they don't go bad why are you bugging my house i'm not in the fucking mob like what are we doing here um that's that see people that's the world i would like to i would like to live in a world where the left and the right go like why are we yelling at each other over the stupid over pronouns or or fucking gun control why don't we focus on what really really matters. Huh? Our existence and our ability to live a comfortable life.

It really has nothing to do with illegal immigrants, a guy who's now a woman or somebody with 20 AR-15. It had nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fact that the cunts at the top keep squeezing all the juice out of the lime for themselves. Oh, in a perfect world. In a fucking perfect world, we'd all get on the same page. Be like, yeah, you know, I think that's about enough of that, okay?

I think you have plenty of fucking money. There's a finite amount of money, and if you take any more of it, you're going to put more people under a bridge. Ask yourself this, could you have a bunch of fucking money if you having that money made other people live under a bridge? I'm not saying, you know, if you invent something or whatever, if you get into my business, you start selling tickets, you make a stupid amount of money. But nothing that you're doing is making, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, you know,

is preventing somebody else from doing it too. These fucking nerds, they're just like, you know, we're making refrigerators and we're going to be the last ones to ever make them. We're going to take over the whole fucking refrigeration, you know, and everybody else can go fuck themselves. And you will deliver them for nothing. And you will be thankful to have a job.

Or you can keep cheering when, you know, I don't know what, you know, somebody's mom gets put in a van, you know, why billionaires can go to an island and fuck underage chicks and nothing happens to them. But like, you know, if you come in here illegally and you're making food in the back of a fucking restaurant, you go to a jail surrounded by alligators. All right. Okay. That makes sense. I like that math.

I'm into that. You know what else? I'm into juggling lately. I used to juggle when I was a kid. Never did it professionally. You know what it was? I juggled really good. I just couldn't afford a unicycle.

and that just really ended my dream. No, I got up to three balls, no homo. I got up to three balls and then I fucking, and then I could do with the hand over the top. I could juggle them that way. And lately, I don't know what it's those fucking, when they juggled those bowling pins. It's something I revisit every five to seven years.

And I was just like, I don't know, you know, that's kind of fucking cool. and I also think it's kind of cool for your brain to learn how to do that because now I'm not just like juggling. I got to like flip that fucker. You know what it was is I saw one time they had this back stage footage of the Bruins. And one of the guys in the Bruins was juggling like three balls up against a fucking wall as he was going sideways down a hallway.

And he was going back and forth. And I was thinking about like cognitively what he's doing, cognitively what he's doing with his brain, considering, you know, all the muscle memory, you have to be like you're skating backwards. You have to stick handle the puck and not be looking at it, keeping your head up. So nobody gives you the Scott Stevens treatment.

And I don't know. As I get older, you know, I really realize, you know, learning a language, learning an instrument and shit like that is like going to the fucking. Jim, at least that's what they say. Okay? And I love ending a statement that I made with, and that, you know, at least that's what they say, because you get to just walk away from the three minutes you just wasted in

somebody's life presenting an opinion. You know, the second they asked you to confirm what you said with a really, you can just bail me. I mean, I mean, that's what they say. What do you mean with that? What the fuck was that? I just... You just spoke with authority for 180 seconds,

and now you're just going to walk away like that? No, I don't need to calm down. Those were my minutes, too. Anyway, let me do some reads here. Oh, look who it is, everybody. Oh, would you look who it is? It's quo. QUO.

Oh, by the way, I'm one Moto GP race behind. I was on the road and I missed that one from Spain. Congratulations to Alex Marquez. It really sucks that Mark crashed out. So early because I saw something I've never seen in all of my years of watching that I can recall. I saw Alex outbreak the greatest guy ever at it. Mark Marquez to take the lead.

I got up off the couch going, is he going to outbreak him? And then I just thought usually when people try to do that, they go wide and then Mark ducks underneath him. And they didn't. He didn't. Congratulations. And I got to tell you, what's his face there? Did G. Antonio, if he could just, you know, he's just got to work on his starts.

He's always like in third place and then goes down to seventh and then he finished his third. If he could just hold his spot, who knows? Maybe he just has two people to overtake rather than five to get back to third place. I really, I'm a fan of that guy, you know, and I'm sure they're working on that. And also what I love about, I just like the colors of the teams, it's really easy for an old guy like me to see where the fuck people are. Anyway, I know that they have the one in France, I believe, today. So I'm going to watch that one. Okay, mushroom coffee.

This is something that I was talking about that, you know, they say it on the fucking internet that it's supposed to be really good for you. So I brought it up. And I'm worried that now that once they start marketing to you, that means the corporations have gotten a hold of it. It's like mushrooms eventually when those things become legal, like the same thing that happen to weed is going to happen to mushrooms, which is going to be a really sad thing. And these corporations, they don't give a fuck about the healing abilities. The personal growth of it, what they care

about is the money. So the first thing they're going to do is they're going to lace it with sugar because most people don't like the taste of them. And then that's going to be the end of it. Because I don't know, people have said, like, if you feel too high when you're tripping, that if you eat a candy bar, sugar kind of breaks up the whole thing, which means that will fuck their product, which means they're going to have to come up with some sugar that isn't sugar. And they'll take these beautiful things and they'll actually make them cancerous and detrimental to your health as all of our food is in this fucking country. And I feel like the pharmaceutical company gives the food people a kickback.

You make them sick. We'll nurse them along. So they have a slow, agonizing death and we'll all make money and get bigger fucking yachts. All right. But along the way is the topic of... mushroom coffee. Hey Bill, I use mushroom coffee on the regular because the cognitive focus it grants the brain is tremendously helpful with managing my brain injury symptoms. For Normies, it still helps your brain stay focused and energetic. It just doesn't have as powerful an effect as it does for

someone with a TBI traumatic brain injury, I guess. I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm psyched there's something to help you. The reason it helps with the brain is because it contains ground lion's main mushroom, which is the source of the cognitive stimulation. When brewed either is a tea or with coffee grounds, the effects are even more potent. Wow. So you can buy pre-packaged mushroom coffee just like you can buy normal ground coffee, or you can just buy the ground lion's mane and add it to your coffee when you brew it. which is what I do. You can buy Lions Main at pharmacies.

Fuck them. Again, because the healthy cognitive fest or at health food type stores, also fuck them because most of them are impostors. I even think Trader Joe's has it. Fuck Trader Joe's. I got to find some hippie at a farmer's market that doesn't have a contract with Ralph's, which is difficult.

Since you've probably heard about what, like 130 now based on how naturally your podcast Rants, fly off the rails each day. What? Since you're probably about what? Like 130 now based on how naturally your podcast rants fly off the rails each day, you'll probably find it almost as helpful as I do. Oh, I see he's making fun in my mental fucking situation.

All right, I'm going to try that stuff. That's exciting to me. To like fucking, you know, anything that can help me, works. All right, data center pushback. Hey, Billy, butterfingers. Butterfingers. I wanted to share the article below

about a little town here in Missouri named Festus, F-E-S-T-U-S. Their city council was not being transparent about a data center being built and the townies went ballistic. That's what the fuck I'm talking about. Essentially, the town said, hell no. There you go.

out to these people. I don't know the story. Good for them. Well, the council was up for re-election and the town said, fuck y'all and got rid of all of them. They may be going after the mayor next. Quote, they crooked, bro, end quote. These companies have to be buying the councils and the mayors because with so much pushback from the town, they were still going forward. Yeah, absolutely. And it appeared to be selective and sketch, as the kids say. I thought about. you and your numerous ramblings on about data centers and tech bros. You know, it really offends me that you say I'm rambling, but the logical side of me is like, you're not lying.

I am rambling. You're completely right, by the way. Hey, every once in a while, old Billy Broken Clock. Anyway, I love you and go fuck yourself. Well, that's, we need more of that. These fucking sell out goddamn local politicians, you know? anybody who's a decent fucking person stays in politics.

They can only stay in there so long. They're just like, this is just madness. What I need, what I, how dirty I have to get to get one thing done. It's so fucking gross.

It's so gross. It's just, it's how we are, I guess. I don't know. Spirit Airlines closure is a disappointment. I wasn't aware of that. Bill, I'm guessing you heard

about the closure of Spirit Airlines. No, I didn't. I'd like to share in a brief, abbreviated version of what the specifics here are, and once again, point out of much of our, how much our leaders hate us. JetBlue offered $3.8 billion in cash. They got that much cash laying around and we can't get fucking snacks or fucking, you got to pay for everything. Oh, no, you know, they, ah, whatever. JetBlue offered $3.8 billion in cash to buy Spirit

airlines in 2022. Shareholders voted in favor. This included flight attendants, union pilots, mechanics, and all other staff. The combined company would have held 9% of the U.S. market against a big four that already owned 80%. 9% isn't a monopoly against 80%. Well, you're combining a bunch of different airlines. So that's probably how they work their way around the math, but I agree with you. A prominent senator wrote letters. She pressured to travel secretary and lobbied for Biden's Department of Justice to sue and stop the merger. Our federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. I bet he's got his toes in the sand somewhere.

Her argument, the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dust under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after, 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December, 14,000 jobs in 2023, 7,500 last week, zero tonight. And that's just because that's just the people in spirit uniforms. Catering goes, fuel goes, baggage crews, gate agents, airport, coffee shops, hotels, and rental cars, and 70 city spirits flew to. Every airline job carries three more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman's moronic crusade. It wasn't moronic. She was getting paid. She sold out. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14 percent on average. Oakland to Newark, 135 to 288. Fort Myers to San Juan, 92 to 219. Kansas City to Newark up 66 percent. A senator who never made payroll thinks she knows how, never made a payroll, thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. That's a quote. 14,000 plus will go from working to welfare.

This is just another sign of the de-industrialization. Everything is being gutted and it can only be done with the help of politicians. Yeah, sell-out politicians. I'm not saying they're all bad, but, you know, hopefully the next time, you know, elections come up, We don't keep putting grifters and mentally ill or mentally ill grifters in positions of fucking power. I don't know. It's just, it's a shit show right now. And it's been a shit show since Obama left.

Even if he didn't like Obama, I mean, the guy had his faculties. I mean, it has just been a, it's been he-ha ever since. All right, quo. you know when everyone on your team thinks someone else handled it the call the text the follow up it's like that Spider-Man meme wait a minute what did I do here? Oh I fucking

I went back up telling you guys what we need to do with this country and I just started reading the fucking advertising over again well there you go so there you go now you know now you know what a moron I am but I am you know despite how stupid I am

I do realize that this whole, I don't know, it's just really frustrating watching everybody just fucking at each other's fucking throats while shit like this is going on. We should be having each other's backs. But that doesn't seem to be how the world's working. I feel like all the bad people have control of the technology and they're just manipulating our opinions to hate each other. So who knows? Maybe there'll be a wave of crusader nerds. crusader nerds who actually give a shit about people rather than making an app

so you can marry the weird science chick and then rent out an Italian city for your wedding. All right, that's it, everybody. That is the podcast. Go fuck yourselves. And I will check in on you on Thursday.
