Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byrne. It's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday.

December 26th, 2016. What's going on? How are you? Oh my god, it's the last Monday of

fucking 2016. George Michael passed away on Christmas Day. Wake me up before you go, go,

condolences to him. And you know what the best thing about 2016 being over is, is

you no longer, you can have to listen to people blaming a year for bad things happening, you know.

That's the big thing. Fuck you 2016. I saw Madonna tweeted that. Fuck you 2016.

Fuck you, you fucking year, man. You know, why do people keep blaming the fucking year?

You know, it has nothing to do with the fucking year. You're talking is there's people's genetics

are involved. There's lifestyle choices, there's substance abuse. I mean, that's what's going on

here. I don't know why you're, you know, we're picking on 2016, like it's a religion from the

Middle East or something. I have no fucking idea how it's getting the blame for all of this.

You know what I mean? Fucking 2016 with your liver cancer. You know, let's blame 2016,

rather than the pharmaceutical companies that fucking was given out opiates like flinstone

vitamins and created a fucking heroin epidemic. Fuck all of that. 2016 has robbed us

of some of the greatest artists of our time. 2016 did like it's a fucking person.

How to fucking Madonna is world traveled. She's been around the fucking world.

Haven't you talked to enough people to not know to blame a fucking year? Well, maybe she's

saying it metaphorically, Bill, I don't give a shit. You know, if I try to see her side of the

things, how can I come up with a comedic angle to try to fill out this next fucking 60 minutes?

Fuck you 2016. Oh, yeah, you didn't like seeing the cubs finally win a world series.

Nothing good happened to you this year. You're just going to focus on the bad.

Anyways, I like people also then try to have like a religious thing.
