Anyway What was I talking about baseball season is starting rapping on the movie Birmingham making Georgia We got all of that shit going on. This will be my last Monday morning podcast slider As of next week, they'll go back to being an hour long So let's do some of the reads for the week man, let's see what we got here. What are people saying? Oh

By the way, are the Celtics in like first place in the east is that what somebody tried to tell me I watched the end of Some game Indiana Jesus Christ both teams were shooting the lights out Let's check out the the NBA standings there NBA Standings, okay, here we go. What do we got here? Where a second seed get the fuck out of here We must have been we went on a two eight and two tear right there Must have done that a couple of times last I saw we were in the middle of the pack

I know we got the Milwaukee Bucks coming up in the 76 is so big Test early with one of blouse. We'll see how it goes All right, so people wrote in I was talking about having mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving which is a white person staple It's you know when you go outside the arena there people looking at you like what's going on here So people are weighing in on mashed potato. What's up? Oh Billy tater tits Lady listener here in a mass hole here. I wanted to share my love for mashed potatoes and the absolute horror I had at my first Thanksgiving with my boyfriend now husband's family

I'm a white chick mostly Italian and Irish my husband is Puerto Rican that of me mashed potatoes are a must at Thanksgiving It just is it is with the fucking gravy the fucking turkey and the stuffing that's that's the triangle offense Got to have the cranberries you know and You go from there match but mac and cheese whatever top it off with some stuffing and gravy. Oh my god. It's a party That's it. That's it. So we get To his family's house, and I'm looking around for mashed potatoes, and I don't see any my hung husband brings me over to the mashed Potatoes, and it's fucking potato salad

ah Mashed potatoes with mayonnaise and eggs What do we add a fucking barbecue? Do they they got hot dogs over there? What's going on? Don't get me wrong. I love me some potato salad. I actually don't Potato salad for me lives in the coleslaw world Coleslaw I'll always look at coleslaw with the side eye. I have to be honest you young people have to understand This coleslaw you're eating today is not the coleslaw

That people grew up with coleslaw when I was growing up with was limp. It was milky It was fucking gross. You know what it really was it was a put it was a plate filler It was like when you went to a restaurant And they wanted to act like they gave you two fucking sides and fill up the whole plate They gave you a big helping of coleslaw, and it fucking sucked finally You know in the shit with leek India other food. It was just a nasty Virus of a food, but now people have earned learned how to make it hearty. So but I would say potato salad. I Don't know. I've just I've never really had a good one

It's just sort of like I like potatoes You know, I like mayonnaise. I like eggs. I don't like it all together Anyway, don't get me wrong. I love me some potato salad, but that's a summer dish Apparently, this is a Spanish thing because I asked all of my Puerto Rican friends later And they agreed that those are mashed potatoes Those are not mashed potatoes. They're cut up potatoes Then I'm mashed so now everything's giving we argue over the fact that those are not true mashed potatoes And I bring the white people potatoes so I can happily stuff my pasty ass with its deliciousness

Has anything like that ever happened to you and the beautiful Nia PS stopping insecure Nia is right The ladies love them some Billy Burr I mean what that's referencing Anyway, as far as the potatoes go. Yeah, that mashed potatoes You just gotta at some point you just have to understand that like, you know, there's gonna be some confusion in the world You know people travel. It's the telephone game so I guess Puerto Ricans call potatoes at what we call potato salad

Mashed potatoes we call mashed potatoes mashed potatoes Whatever the fuck it is. I don't know I Like potatoes so I will tell you that I Do and I gotta be honest with you potato salad is the one kind of potato. I don't like Anything else, you know, the potatoes in the clam chowder, which I was not a fan of clam chowder. I Never liked it it to me. It always looked like that shit a cow pukes up when it's going from stomach number one to stomach number two It's always gross

It just was always just Warm yucky Didn't like it until I got little kids. I was just said yucky. It was fucking disgusting there Is that adult enough for you? And then I go down to Manhattan now they put a little tomato fucking sauce in it. All right, let me try this one. It's terrible Terrible now, you know, the cow puked and then had a period. Oh Bill. What are you doing? Sorry, but I had a great I had a hearty Clam chowder the other day it was like rained out here and ate everything and I had a really good one so

I start trash in Alabama. I'm not gonna just start rooting for him Did you know these commentators are just using a template made by the legendary f1 commentator? a legendary f1 commentator named Murray Walker, I have to look this guy up He's this person says when I first started watching f1 with my dad Murray was paired with world champion driver and shagger James Hunt Jesus that guy lived a life, huh Murray's voice would go helium pitched with a Enthusiasm and he'd often get his facts wrong in his excitement James Hunt on the other hand was calm and would coolly correct Murray, but always showed the veteran race commentator respect

Well, this James Hunt sounds like the coolest dude ever Murray was also a humble man and sent set him sent set himself up brilliantly in a Pizza Hut.

I want to thank all you guys for the patience you've had over the last month Well, I've been doing this movie And still listening to the shorter podcast. I really appreciate it. All right. We have this other topic bad-ass shit

What's the what's some bad-ass shit that you bought that secretly in the back of your mind? You know, you're not bad-ass enough to own all right for me. It's a Gibson less Paul All right bad-ass shit. I told my friend not to buy dear Billy Gibson in college There was a guy who played guitar in my hallway. I play guitar too. So I had some insight into my Insight into my advice to him when he said he was going to buy a double neck SG Don't get me wrong. I wanted him to get it so I could play it occasionally But I knew it was a horrible purchase. He was a pretty good guitar player He didn't suck but he wasn't pushing virtuoso status and wasn't about to change the game with the double neck

I told him in my opinion, it's a performance guitar and really not fun to play in your room and suggested He just get a 12 string In the end he got it and it was a bust He played it at one open mic show and it was kind of out of tune brutal. I played it a bit and it was cool He had fun with it too, but mostly anytime I saw it in his room. It was collecting dust because it's not Fun to play sitting down. He sold it at the end of the year, but didn't make But didn't take much of a loss You know what?

But he can say he owned one, you know, and he played it you got to play it too. So that's not too bad I I had a 70 or a 71 green sparkle Ludwig kick all bonum sizes With a Ludwig speed King. I did the whole bonum thing and you know, I played it live at the fucking rock See I had a fucking blast, but like I mean If the kit just wasn't me and I just ended up I had the bonum symbols the whole fucking set up And I just sold the whole thing and it was the best thing I ever did for my drumming because I was really just going down a route of like just Being yet another ripoff

You know of John Bonham John Bonham didn't go out and fucking You know start fucking know this guy played this. Why me I mean, I guess Everybody played Ludwig back in the day, but he got the kit that was right for him That's what you have to do, but having said that it was fun to own the thing and You know having a double neck guitar is pretty cool. I'm immediately picturing the Jimmy Page one I always thought that that was sick and then there's a guy from cheap trick where he had the most I ever saw Because then there was the triple guitar and then there was four and he had like a five or a six It was insane. I could start it at like his chest and went all the way down to his knees

But anyway, yeah, you probably gave him good advice, but everyone you young you got to do something dumb Like buy an old muscle car that needs a lot of fucking work Just to say you had one and you don't have the money to fix it up No one in the back of your head that it's gonna break down when you really need it But you know just to do it. I say do it. All right, that's it everybody Next Monday, we go back to the hour-long Monday morning podcast Hopefully I'll have figured out my interface with my computer and all that shit so now have to keep recording them on my phone I

Am so fucking excited That this movie is gonna be wrapped and I could start putting it together because the performances in this movie I think you know are gonna be great. I want to talk too much shit, but I think I got a really good I Really good Movie well, so we shall see so that is it. Enjoy the game tonight Between Kansas and North Carolina. That is all and I will check in on you guys on Thursday. Okay?
