Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burn. It's time for the Thursday afternoon just before Friday, Monday morning podcast and I'll just check it again on you.

I'm just checking in on you. I'm just seeing how your week is going. This is a hard week coming off the holiday vacation. You know, at some point on your vacation, you know, a certain thought pops in your head.

I'm not talking about walking out the front door and just abandoning your family, you know, and not even because you don't like your family.

Maybe it's a relative that's just their cackle, you know, when it's just making your eardrums just vibrating a certain way that that it wakes up that party of brain that just doesn't give a fuck.

You know, the party of brain that sociopaths are always in. You know what I mean?

Just the wrong cackle can open that door for a minute and then your brain starts going like, what have you just got up and left?

And what came back later? No, no, dude, left, like left.

Not like left or right. I mean, leave left gone. What if you did that? Right?

Plus also it's the beginning of a new year. There's a lot of hope in the air.

Chance for new things.

And if you'd like to keep that hope, you probably shouldn't watch the news because, you know, I've been fucking working my ass off already and I was like, well, I got really nothing to talk about.

Let me take a glance at the news. Good. Lord.

Good Lord. I just Googled news. There this whole article on Donald Trump about how he never wanted to become president and then just some of the quotes they have.

It's like, where did you get that quote?

And he said something about Donald Trump being like, yeah, I'm not going to win this fucking thing and then he finds out he made it to the next level and he just sort of looked ahead and said and allegedly said, this is so fucked up.

It's like, who knew that he said that and I don't know. I don't fucking know. And then I'm watching all this stuff and power sign and the whole fucking thing is just about money.

You know, sometimes I wonder if everybody in the world, right?

It has to be a weird game to play, right? But all these fucking rich people just squeeze in the fucking life out of everybody.

Pitting everybody against everybody. If you just if everybody in the world just was just like, what do you want?

What exactly is it to just take it?

Does that make you have I don't think I don't even think they could enjoy it. They could have the biggest fucking house on the biggest hill on the biggest side of town. All of that fucking Ric Flair shit, right?

With minus the humor. They could have all of that. And the fact that everybody beneath them wasn't miserable on some level.
