Episode Overview

This episode sees Bill Burr back from his travels, sharing wide-ranging, sharp-edged rants about everything from modern-day crowd control at sporting events, shifting relationships with technology, and the state of sports fandom, to larger social critiques on surveillance, wealth inequality, and the frustrating state of US politics. There’s the signature blend of sarcasm, nostalgia, self-deprecation, and real, sometimes dark, observational humor, all in Burr’s raw, conversational tone.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. World Cup & Modern Crowd Control

[02:29 - 10:38]

• Experience at the World Cup:
  Bill recounts taking his daughter to a Spain vs. Belgium World Cup match. There’s childlike excitement and pride in his daughter's gratitude:

  "At one point, my daughter leaned forward, tapped me on the shoulder...and she goes, thank you. How cool is that? 9 years old, knows enough to say thank you..." ([02:56])

• Extreme Security Measures:
  Getting into a FIFA game is likened to entering the Pentagon—layers of electronic ticket scanning, facial scanning, and repeated checks.

  "You gotta download the FIFA app... put it in your Apple wallet...we gotta scan your face...Like, at what point have you gotten enough?" ([06:52])

• Class Segregation:
  Bill notes how stadium security physically and symbolically separates fans by ticket level, which he equates to classism:

  "It's like boarding Delta Airlines. It's classism, it's racism. It's all the same game except it's just going—It's just like you are a mezzanine level person. You will only interact..." ([08:29])

• Retro Sports Nostalgia:
  He laments the lost freedom of movement in old stadiums and freer crowd behavior of the past:

  "Back in the day...you had a hard ticket, nobody scanned your face, you walked into a stadium, you entered any fucking place you wanted to enter..." ([08:29])

---

2. Sports Fandom & Annoyances

[10:38 - 19:40]

• Love-Hate with Soccer (“Football”):
  Despite mocking it in the past, Bill acknowledges his growing appreciation for soccer, making cultural jabs:

  "I'm going to keep saying soccer for everybody overseas who go, it's called football. Yeah, but we don't call it that. Get over it. I don't give a fuck." ([13:22])

• England’s National Team:
  Draws parallels between England’s soccer team and the New York Knicks, noting overblown national expectations (“You guys have only won one [World Cup]”).
• Whiny Players & Officiating:
  Critiques English players for constantly appealing for offsides, likening them to NBA stars and addressing broader issues in pro sports officiating:

  "Every time the other team does something, their whole team puts their hands up like it's offsides. So I'm already starting to not, like them, like, they're sort of like whining, whiny cunts." ([15:24])

• Hockey vs. Soccer:
  Expresses frustration at soccer’s reluctance to just shoot, promoting the “one timer” from hockey as a remedy:

  "This fucking shit where they kick it to you and you're right there in the box and you stop it with your foot...as it comes in, just kick the fucking thing, put it on net." ([16:03])

• Corruption & Bias in FIFA:
  Points to rumors about certain nations always getting the calls, likening the sport’s politics to NBA teams like the Lakers:

  "I can't do this again. I can't fall in love with another sport and watch one country get treated like the Lakers." ([18:08])

---

3. Gen X Nostalgia, Tech Paranoia, & “Lizard People”

[24:38 - 26:34]

• Analog vs. Digital Living:
  Bill reminisces about the mental benefits of a pre-digital, analog lifestyle, suggesting modern surveillance and technology erode his peace:

  "I'm a Gen X guy, so I lived in an analog world and I lived in a digital world. And I just liked how my brain felt when it was still analog." ([25:13])

• Desire for Real Escape:
  He expresses a strong urge to "drive a car or ride a motorcycle in the middle of nowhere" to reconnect with himself and unplug from digital surveillance.
• Tech Skepticism:
  Commenting on apps and “self-surveillance on wheels,” Bill’s conspiracy-tinged joke of “lizard people” (referring to societal elites) recurs throughout:

  "Why are you acting like we're John Gotti sitting inside our supper club, planning to murder somebody at Spark Steakhouse?...What are you up to, you lizard people? Cunts. That's the question." ([08:08] & [08:20])

---

4. Relationships, Family, and Stand-Up Life Reflections

[28:22 - 30:30]

• Stand-Up at the Greek Theater:
  Shout-out to Matt Rife for selling out the Greek, and to Chappelle Lacy and Eric Griffin. Recalls the energy and joy of performing live stand-up, comparing it to past concerts.
• Family & Parenting:
  Cherishes time with his kids and embraces being an older dad:

  "They're just growing up super fast. But it's one of the advantages of being an old dad. You're not sad that they're growing up fast. You're just excited like, okay, I saw another thing." ([29:44])

---

5. Listener Emails: Tech & The Economy, Political Critique

[46:46 - 66:46]

A. Changing With Age:

Listener remarks on Bill’s laugh becoming more “sinister” over time:

"My voice is also gradually getting deeper. Everything changes as you get older." ([46:46])

B. Tech Industry Cynicism:

A listener rails against a new app allegedly launched by Bill Gates’ daughter, and Bill agrees on generalized tech grift:

"How much money do these people need to make? ...What is Bill Gates, his daughter, worried about? Jesus Christ..." ([49:31])

Bill expands on the theme that techno-wealth and bank leverage is paper-thin, and that the powerful, whether Bill Gates, Elon Musk, or unnamed "suits," don’t relate to regular people, despite controlling most resources:

"It's being taken away from us by white people. And they are not your common, everyday, run of the mill people. It's...they look like Bill Gates. They look like the Tesla guy. They're just suits." ([53:13])

C. Economic Decline and Political Rot

• Film Industry Collapse:
  Cites overregulation, tax maneuvers, and bipartisan failure for LA’s fading movie business.
• Broad-based Corruption:
  Claims that both Democrats and Republicans are equally culpable, arguing that the choice between them is just an "illusion of choice":

  "I believe in the illusion of choice, that theory and that they're all doing the same thing." ([61:20])

• Wealth Inequality:
  Discusses how policies and industry changes have hollowed out the middle class and funneled money upward:

  "It just seems like one or two people came up with an app or a business plan...and they become billionaires. And the people that actually did the work and created it all get fucked. We're all in the same boat." ([64:16])

• Tribalism and Distraction:
  Warns listeners not to get caught in left/right tribalism—everyone’s being manipulated while the real culprits ("lizard people", "demon cunts") continue exploiting the system:

  "They're just making us point our fingers at each other." ([57:03])

• Advice on Criticism & “Getting Shamed”:
  Urges adults to toughen up and accept disagreement, poking fun at the language of victimhood:

  "Oh, toughen the fuck up. Adults saying they get shamed. What, somebody doesn't agree with you? I love LA and I love America. And I have every right to speak...” ([62:09])

---

6. Politics, Media, and Conspiracy Theorizing

[59:24 - 66:46]

• Media Control & History:
  Lays out a theory of how post-Vietnam elites systematically eroded media and critical thinking to prevent future mass uprisings.
• Both Parties to Blame:
  Asserts that the entire US government, regardless of party, is complicit in the country’s decline and in enabling the super-rich:

  "Republicans destroy us overseas and Democrats destroy us here. I think that's overly simplistic. I think they both destroy us overseas and they both destroy us at home." ([61:18])

• Epstein Reference:
  Expresses frustration at the lack of consequences for political elites involved in scandals; points to tribal protectionism overriding justice:

  "...all they can't get past, well, so and so went there too. It's like, great, they should both be in jail." ([65:00])

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Stadium Security and Social Control:

  "It's all Gestapo controlled." ([10:00])

• On American Exceptionalism in Language:

  "Yeah, but we don't call it that. Get over it. I don't give a fuck." ([13:22])

• On Tech-Enabled Surveillance:

  "Just not into this. So. And watching that movie, like, I don't think I've ever felt so compelled to drive a car or ride a motorcycle in the middle of nowhere for my own, like, mental health..." ([25:13])

• On Wealth, Power, and Appearances:

  "They look like Bill Gates. They look like the Tesla guy. You know, they're just suits. And you can tell none of them know how to fight." ([54:04])

• On Divisiveness and Distraction:

  "We're all getting fucked by the same people. And they're just making us point our fingers at each other." ([57:03])

• On Shaming and Political Outrage:

  "Oh, toughen the fuck up. Adults saying they get shamed." ([62:09])

Tone & Delivery

True to form, Burr is acerbic, insightful, politically incorrect, and unsparing of himself or anyone else. There’s a relentless skepticism toward authority, institutions, and modernity, but also an underlying affection for ordinary people, personal moments, and the craft of stand-up as real, valuable human connection.

Recap

This episode is a classic Burr rant-fest: funny and dark, wide-ranging and off-the-cuff, mixing everyday stories with big-picture cynicism about modern life and who's really in control. Whether he’s marveling at his daughter’s gratitude, yelling at soccer on tv, or indicting billionaire elites and politicians, Burr’s blend of humor and raw honesty continually brings listeners back to what matters: real life, real people, and finding something to laugh about, no matter how weird or bleak things get.

It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, July 13, 2026. 66 6. The number of the beast. Sorry. Hell and fire was born to be released. I'm back. I'm in the saddle again. I'm. I'm back on west coast time. It finally happened for me.

[Joe Rogan]

I kept waking up at like 1:30, 3, 34, 33, 35, 33, 30. I kept going back to 3:30 and I was like, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, am I going to be on Ireland time for the rest of my life? And then finally on Friday, I took my daughter, my lovely daughter. I took her to the World Cup.

[Bill Burr]

I got to go to the World Cup. We were both freaking out.

[Joe Rogan]

I went with A buddy of mine and his daughter. And the coolest thing on the ride there, you know, I was sitting up front with my buddy, and then our daughters were in the back. And at one point, my daughter leaned forward, forward, and she tapped me on the shoulder. And I said. I said, what? And she goes, thank you. How cool is that? 9 years old, knows enough to say thank you for going. That we were both, like, super excited. So we get there. It's Spain versus Belgium, all right? The World cup, which is the world's Super Bowl. You know, I know a bunch of people tune into the super bowl, but it's just, you know, it's a national game. This is like, literally the whole world is watching this. To some. A sporting event that we're going to. So we are, like, geeking out, and we go up there and, dude, I gotta tell you something right now. There is no way to sneak into a FIFA game, a World cup game. There's no way to make. I mean, somebody pro. I don't like the level of, like, computer nerd. You would have to be.

[Bill Burr]

Dude, these.

[Joe Rogan]

It was like getting into the Pentagon,

[Bill Burr]

like, the level of security, and it had nothing to do with trying to keep people safe. Like, you know, they had to clear,

[Joe Rogan]

you know, backpacks that you put your shit in.

[Bill Burr]

But the main thing that FIFA is fucking concerned about is every motherfucker in that place is gonna. Is gonna fucking pay for their ticket. Nobody's sneaking in. Nobody gonna fucking slide in under the Zamboni like the old days or climb in through the fucking rafters like you. Dude, they scanned our. To get in like cattle. They break you up like cattle. Like, the. The. The whole sporting experience is so different now. Then we had. We got in, and I'm like, all right, they scanned our tickets. All right, we're in. Yeah, we're in. Now we got to walk around this spaceship, which is a really weird. It's a beautiful stadium. You know what I mean? It's like. It looks like, like, where they make the Tesla trucks. By the way, I heard some guy

[Joe Rogan]

make fun of some guy on Instagram

[Bill Burr]

driving a Tesla truck. He was bitching about somebody else, Somebody

[Joe Rogan]

with a Rubicon that had put lipstick,

[Bill Burr]

big lips on the front of the

[Joe Rogan]

grill and then, like, eyelashes.

[Bill Burr]

And he was going off on that,

[Joe Rogan]

and then he's like, I need to calm down. He pans around, and there's a Tesla truck in front of him.

[Bill Burr]

He goes, and this guy's driving a fucking refrigerator. It's amazing. It e. Looks like that or it looks like the. The hood above a stove, you know,

[Joe Rogan]

if you just put four wheels on it.

[Bill Burr]

But I will say, you know, I don't know, if you go to, like, museums and you look at, like, abstract art, I kind of feel like it

[Joe Rogan]

lives in that world.

[Bill Burr]

Like, I'm not mad at it.

[Joe Rogan]

I don't give a.

[Bill Burr]

If that's.

[Joe Rogan]

If that's what you want to drive. And that weird, like, window shade that you pull down, like.

[Bill Burr]

Like, I don't think I've ever seen

[Joe Rogan]

anybody driving a Tesla truck and actually had anything in the back.

[Bill Burr]

I think at this point it's just like, you appreciate the weirdness of the

[Joe Rogan]

design or you just like, you know, you grew up watching wrestling and you like the bad guys and, you know if you drive one, it's going to annoy people. So you just kind of into that. I don't know. The whole thing is, is. It's beyond me. I don't give a. I like, I like all the old, you know, so what are you gonna do?

[Bill Burr]

Anyway, so.

[Joe Rogan]

So we get.

[Bill Burr]

We scan the.

[Joe Rogan]

Our. Our tickets, right? You gotta download the FIFA act app. And then somebody goes, put it in your Apple wallet. I go, do I? You know, so I put it in the Apple wallet and now the Apple wallet. New security.

[Bill Burr]

We gotta scan your face.

[Joe Rogan]

And I'm like, you.

[Bill Burr]

Like, at what point? At what point, like, have you gotten enough. Everybody's got to know. Like, everybody. Like, our retinas have all been scanned. Just make the robots already. Jesus Christ. So we get by the first thing. Then we walk around the flying saucer. Now we're going to go in the gate again. They scan them again, Scan them again. Because now, okay, you've established that you have the tickets, but now we have to make sure that you're not trying to go into a level you don't belong in. So they scan them again. Now they've scanned them twice. Then we get past that, and then they scan them again a third fucking time. And then they all break us up with, like, bracelets and shit. Dude, I'm telling you, it's all like going to a sporting event and getting checked into, like, a concentration camp. It's the same shit where they're dividing people, separating people, rather than a number on your fucking arm. You're getting a fucking bracelet. This is what they're doing right now, tracking all of us. Like, why the fuck are they tracking all of us?

[Joe Rogan]

Everything that we do.

[Bill Burr]

Why are you acting like we're John Gotti sitting inside our supper club, planning to murder Somebody at Spark Steakhouse.

[Joe Rogan]

We're not doing anything.

[Bill Burr]

Why.

[Joe Rogan]

Why do you have to fucking watch us to this level?

[Bill Burr]

What are you up to, you lizard people?

[Joe Rogan]

Cunts.

[Bill Burr]

That's the question. So by the time I get in

[Joe Rogan]

there, I'm just like.

[Bill Burr]

It's, it's, it's, it's a combination of like going to a sporting event. It's like. It's the same thing as like boarding Delta Airlines. It's classism, it's racism. It's all, it's all the same game except it's just going. It's just like you are a mezzanine level person. You will only interact. Segregation, you will only be with me. Dude, back in the day, if you had a fuck, you had a. You had a hard ticket, nobody scanned your face, you walked into a stadium, you entered any fucking place you wanted to enter. They don't. You know what, that's, that's not true. If you had. They finally figured out people were buying bleacher tickets and, and then just walking

[Joe Rogan]

around sitting behind home plate.

[Bill Burr]

So if you bought bleachers, if you had center field at a Red Sox

[Joe Rogan]

game before you could do Green Monster,

[Bill Burr]

like they finally were like, you fucking

[Joe Rogan]

animals are out there, right?

[Bill Burr]

But if you got right field bleachers, you could just walk all the way around and you could just walk down and there would be empty seats because there was 81 home games and only sports fans went.

[Joe Rogan]

And there wasn't luxury boxes and any of that. You could go to a Bruins game,

[Bill Burr]

you could get an upper deck ticket, you could just walk down, you could

[Joe Rogan]

go down, you could fucking throw an extra 5, 10 bucks if you need to.

[Bill Burr]

And you could sit down low. If the game was a fucking blowout or nobody showed up, they didn't give a fuck. If people moved down, they didn't give a fuck.

[Joe Rogan]

Now it is like, this is who

[Bill Burr]

you are, this is the level you're at.

[Joe Rogan]

And you will sit at your seats door the entire game.

[Bill Burr]

I'm sorry, sir. Sir, sir, could you not. Sir, in the. Sir, please. You know they're always doing like that. Sir, I'm sorry. No, sir, no, you can't go down these stairs. You have that wristband. You have to go down those stairs. And then you get out of the stadium at the end of the game. And it used to just be a free for all. Everybody getting the out of Dodge. Now you're looking at the cops like this shutting down streets and just funneling everybody. Like, don't. You are all going to sit in the same hellacious fucking traffic. It's all fucking. It's all Gestapo controlled.

[Joe Rogan]

It's crazy.

[Bill Burr]

But anyway, as I've always said, though,

[Joe Rogan]

the game is still the game and it's still a beautiful game. So we got in there and,

[Bill Burr]

you

[Joe Rogan]

know, I just, like, I was. I couldn't believe how excited I was. Like, I could not. I couldn't get over the fact that I was there and we saw a great game. Spain was like dominating, like the time of possession and everything. And it just looked like they were going to walk away with this fucking game. It was one, but it was only one to nothing.

[Bill Burr]

Then they did this fucking water break, you know, because America, we got to show commercials, right?

[Joe Rogan]

I love that we pretend that we're caring about the athletes in the country that turned its own foods.

[Bill Burr]

A lot of small group of people

[Joe Rogan]

turn our own food supply into poison.

[Bill Burr]

They fucking. I don't know what happened. They made some sort of fucking adjustment.

[Joe Rogan]

And all of a sudden Belgium started coming back.

[Bill Burr]

And right before

[Joe Rogan]

the halftime, whatever the fuck you call it, they this gorgeous goal, like the goal of the game, even though Belgium didn't win. Like a corner kick and it just came in nice and low and this guy came out of the crowd and just sailor dived and sent the thing into the net with his head. And all of a sudden it was one to one. Everyone was going crazy. And by the way, the level that

[Bill Burr]

these Spain's jerseys and fucking Belgium jerseys

[Joe Rogan]

were the exact same was fucking insane in the crowd. I couldn't tell who was who. And then finally my daughter goes, spain has the blue. And I went, oh, okay, I get it now. I get it. A couple old timers had the old school one that said Espana, and I was like, I know, that's the Spain one. So anyway, and then also the Belgian people, for whatever reason, were wearing cowboy hats. I didn't know. I don't know what that has to do with their culture or if they're mocking that they're in America. I have no idea. You know, like, as an American, when you go to Holland, you feel like you got to buy some wooden shoes. I don't know if they came here

[Bill Burr]

and like, oh, it's the America. We need to get cowboy hats. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what they were doing.

[Joe Rogan]

But anyway, Spain ended up winning like 2 to 1.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

And

[Joe Rogan]

you know, I've always made fun of soccer or whatever, but I. I was always just like trolling people, but, like, I liked it but now I'm actually, like, into it and beyond. The World cup is now I'm like,

[Bill Burr]

hey, maybe I'll start watching some of

[Joe Rogan]

these Premier League games. Like, I don't know. I feel like the Premier League, does it wrap up around

[Bill Burr]

July?

[Joe Rogan]

I can never remember. I know this CFL is done by November. It's just too much to pay attention to. But it was. It's a gorgeous game and, like, the level of shape that soccer players are in. And I'm going to keep saying soccer for everybody overseas who go, it's called football. Yeah, but we don't call it that. Get over it. I don't give a fuck. You know, we call it a hood, you call it a bonnet. I mean, you know, we say basil, you say Basil. Who gives a fuck? You know what I'm talking about?

[Bill Burr]

And most of you cunts, bitching, you didn't even invent the game anyway. And don't you like it that we call it soccer and that we don't give a fuck? And it's another reason to hate us. Isn't that kind of fun? There you go. All right, well, I'm going to keep calling it soccer. So then the next day, I watched England

[Joe Rogan]

playing Norway with that Holland dude.

[Bill Burr]

And I'm expecting, you know, see if

[Joe Rogan]

he can take over the game.

[Bill Burr]

And then I'm also watching England because the. England's sort of like the Knicks. Like, they haven't won since 66. Also, very few teams have won the world. Countries have won the World Cup. I had no idea. Like, Brazil won, like, five of them. And you got. It's only been played since, like, the 1930s, I think. So if one country wins five of them, you know, that there goes 20. 20 years out of, like 100 years. It's sort of like the Yankees, the Yankees winning, like, 27. You know, there's gonna be. It's gonna be some people out in the cold, shivering. So England's only won once, so I don't understand why they're acting like it needs to return home. It's like you guys have only won one. I don't know why you're talking all this shit. Like, there was this time when you guys were great and you were always winning it. You won it once. Unless I'm crazy, I don't know what, but I will tell you this.

[Joe Rogan]

Watching them, England has a great team,

[Bill Burr]

but I noticed, like, anytime the other team does something, their whole team puts their hands up like it's offsides.

[Joe Rogan]

So I'm already starting to not, like Them like, they're sort of like whining, whiny cunts. I, I, Nick, I never saw, like, Norway doing that. Every time they're all putting their hands up, you know, they got a goal called back, they're just whining. I will tell you, I, I stand by this. You know, people that play soccer need how to know, need, need to learn how to do a one timer, watch hockey, watch Ovechkin and do that.

[Bill Burr]

This fucking shit where they kick it to you and you're right there in the box and you stop it with your foot and then have to do a move. And by the time you do that, some defender blocks it. It's coming in as it comes in. Just kick the fucking thing, put it on net. Half the time, these fucking goaltenders, it seems like they go to catch it and they miss it. They give up a sweet rebound and somebody goes, top shelf. Fucking ball comes in, kick it. That's it. Dan Marino. Arm goes up, ball comes out. Ovechkin, one timer. The guy's got the most goals. He's got more goals than fucking Gretzky. I don't understand why they don't do it. I've seen people do it. They have the ability to do it, but they always want to stop and do the extra pass or, or slow down, put the puck on net. Good things happen when you put the puck on net. I would think the same in soccer. S O C C E R soccer, I just am beside myself. I, I love the parallels between soccer and hockey. I find myself yelling the same shit like, shoot it. Shoot the puck. Shoot the fucking thing. Jesus Christ. It's like, why are you trying to get everybody involved? There's no one around you shoot the fucking ball. They, they just, they don't do it. So anyway, and I've heard from people

[Joe Rogan]

that actually watch this all the time that, like, certain countries get the calls, you know, and that Argentina owns FIFA, and England and France, you know, they also get calls and shit like that.

[Bill Burr]

And then that, that's what made me as I was really starting to fall for this sport.

[Joe Rogan]

It's like, I, I can't do this again. I can't fall in love with another sport and watch one country get treated like the Lakers. Like, I just, I can't do this anymore, you know? You know, there's always the Lakers or the Canadians or the Yankees. It's just like they've won so much that the refs are like, afraid of the fan base and they just call fouls and power plays. And, and people lean into balls during rundowns and they act like they don't see it. I just, I, I, can, I do. Can I do this again? I get into college football, why didn't I just root for Alabama? No, I gotta root. I gotta root for lsu. And then I, I, I, I, I, I just, I, I don't want to do this. So I will. Just because I'm finding myself after watching England play twice and watching every douche on defense just calling off sides every

[Bill Burr]

time they get beat, it reminded me,

[Joe Rogan]

rest his soul, a Kobe Bryant.

[Bill Burr]

Every time Kobe Bryant took a shot

[Joe Rogan]

and it didn't go in, he'd look

[Bill Burr]

at the ref like, foul. Like, it didn't go in. I obviously, Obviously I got fouled. And you always make that face like, like, what? You kidding me?

[Joe Rogan]

I don't know. Anyway, see, look, look. Look how, like, much it's already upsetting me. A sport I don't even give a fuck about. So anyway, I, I've been back to flying, and I've been with my instructor, and I was just like, dude, I'm just gonna fly with you, like, five times in a row. Let's just do nothing but hoverados, auto rotations, 180s, chopping, throttle. Just, just do this. Let me get. Because I couldn't believe, like, how much, just after a month of not doing them, how rusty I got. And, oh, by the way, one of my favorite things ever, I'm a big fan of the Rock. You know, the original rock wrestling and all of that. And then watching him getting into movies and having this great career, so that's been a fun thing to watch. But he did a movie one time and he flew a helicopter. He was flying the helicopter and the engine quit, and his character goes, we have to auto rotate. It's one of my favorite pieces of exposition. Dialogue.

[Bill Burr]

Dialogue is exposition.

[Joe Rogan]

If, for those of you not in this business, is when you, you have the characters explain what's going on, either the backstory of another character or, like, it.

[Bill Burr]

It's, it's funny.

[Joe Rogan]

His character had to say it because if you don't fly helicopters, you don't know what an auto rotation is.

[Bill Burr]

Most people think if the engine quits, you just.

[Joe Rogan]

That's it. You're so his character had to say,

[Bill Burr]

we have to auto rotate. And the reality is, you know, I

[Joe Rogan]

don't know what the deal is with the bigger ones. They have more inertia in their main rotor. But, like, if you fly something that I do, the second the engine quits,

[Bill Burr]

you have about a fucking half a

[Joe Rogan]

second to slam the collective down and

[Bill Burr]

pull back,

[Joe Rogan]

pull back the stick to

[Bill Burr]

fucking, you know, get that air coming up underneath you to keep your fucking RPMs going or they're going to drop

[Joe Rogan]

to a point you can't recover. And then you are fucked. So you would never.

[Bill Burr]

Engine would never quit and you wouldn't look at somebody and go, we have to auto rotate.

[Joe Rogan]

You would immediately enter an auto rotation. And this is the best way that was ever explained to me.

[Bill Burr]

Like, when you're flying a helicopter, you're going forward. If you just picture the main rotor, it's like tilted like at a 45

[Joe Rogan]

degree angle, like towards going forward, okay. And you're drawing air into the disc. And then when you, the engine quits,

[Bill Burr]

you then want to have it going 45 degrees, like pointing towards the tail

[Joe Rogan]

rotor as your forward momentum. And you now falling, that is. And, and that angle of the main rotor, that's what keeps it going.

[Bill Burr]

But your RPMs, especially if you're going

[Joe Rogan]

really fast and your blades are totally turned, is going to drop like a motherfucker. So you, you have to do it immediately. You do not have time to look at your passenger and be like, we have to, auto. But in defense of that movie, I understand they have to do it.

[Bill Burr]

That's like, you know, in the pilot

[Joe Rogan]

episode, a character has to be, but,

[Bill Burr]

but Mark, you're my cousin from Milwaukee. Like, they have to like, so you'd

[Joe Rogan]

be, oh, okay, so these guys are related. Like, you end up saying that. And as that's sort of the challenge in the writers room to do that as little as possible, because you don't want to put the actor in that position, you know, because in real life people don't. You would never tell your cousin that he is your cousin from Milwaukee, because both of you know that. But when you're doing a show or a movie, you have to sometimes do that so people understand, they know what the is going on. And that is called exposition. There you go. Anyway, so I'm going to be doing a bunch of those over the next few days. And then I think I'm finally going to do that flight up to Paso Robles. I am back into working out and stretching and all of that is just one of the best things that you can do. Like, you know, I got a knee, you know, left knee talks to me, but like, if I stretch my right side, it doesn't talk to me. And it's so important for me to do that because when it's talking to Me, it means my body is out of alignment and I'm wearing out the cartilage. I'm wearing out my knee. And I'm on my way to a knee replacement. And these out there will not tell you that. If you just stretch and you get a massage, you can work this shit out. And then you don't have to walk around with a fake fucking knee or you can at least put it off. So I've been doing that. I've been watching some movies. After watching that Electra Glide in Blue with Robert Blake, I am obsessed with watching more movies like that.

[Bill Burr]

Obscure.

[Joe Rogan]

If you guys know any obscure car motorcycle movies.

[Bill Burr]

Like, I looked up motorcycle movies from

[Joe Rogan]

the 70s, and it just immediately goes like, Grindhouse. I don't. I'm not into that grindhouse. Like, one of the first ones that came up was, like, something black. Motorcycle Riders from Hell. And I'm like, all right, what is this? Maybe it'll have some cool, like, motorcycles in it and stuff. And it's just like.

[Bill Burr]

It literally looks like, you know, when

[Joe Rogan]

Terence, you know, makes fun of Grindhouse, it looks just like that. But except it's not a joke. They're, like, being serious. And I. I just can't sit through that. Like, I like that Robert Blake movie was gorgeous. And it, like, really did something for me of, like, remembering growing up. And, like, you know, I'm a Gen X guy, so I lived in an analog world and I lived in a digital world. And I just like how my this is so such a up thing to say, but I just liked how my brain felt when it was still analog. So going back to reading and just watching movies and being away from my cell phone and, you know, these. These cars, these surveillance, self surveillance on wheels. Just not into this. So. And watching that movie, like, I don't think I've ever felt so compelled to drive a car or ride a motorcycle in the middle of nowhere for my own, like, mental health is something I really want to do. So I've been talking to my agent about, like, you know, maybe doing a gig up in Montana.

[Bill Burr]

I haven't.

[Joe Rogan]

I've only been there, like, one time to do a gig, and I want to go back and, like, do, like, a run up there and, you know, I don't know, somewhere up there. You know, go up there with Dean Del Rey and just fucking, I don't know, just not be, I don't know, under surveillance all the time. It's like, making me paranoid. It's. It's insane. It's really insane. Anyway, on that darkness. Whatever. It's the summertime. And what I do in the summertime is I always make sure I do something every single day with my kids when I'm not, you know, on the road doing like, gigs and stuff. Speaking of that, though, before I get going too far into talking about my kids, thank you to Matt Rife. He sold out the Greek Theater here. Remember that movie get him to the Greek? He's playing there three fucking nights. Kid is killing it. So he was nice enough to ask me to come down and I jumped at the opportunity because I like that dude. He's a good dude. And then also I've never gotten to do stand up there. And, you know, I wanted to see kind of like what it was like. And it was fantastic. It was, you know, it's like a 4,000 seater. Me. This kid is moving tickets here. 4, 5, 6,000, something like that. But it's really like intimate. And the crowd was great. And I got to work with Chappelle Lacey. Now, what did I just do with this thing here?

[Bill Burr]

Why does it keep scrolling up on me?

[Joe Rogan]

Anyway, Chappelle Lacy, I, Eric Griffin, myself, and then Matt went on and he was like promoting. He's in like Super Troopers Part 3. I think that's coming out next month. But anyways, thank you to him and everybody that I was hanging. Just a great bunch of people I was hanging out with that night. And it reminded me the last time I was there, I saw Primus go up there and just fuck it. Oh my God, they were on fire that night. They were just on fucking fire. So it was fun to go back there. Anyway, I was going to ride the motorcycle over, but I chickened out. I was like, ah, I'm going to get stuck in traffic and then I'm going to show up and say, it's me and I'm gonna have the helmet on. It's gonna be a big pain in the ass. So I just, I just, I just drove over. But anyways, the kids, I've been just like, you know, they came over with me over to Ireland, so I saw him every day. But I was doing the acting gigs. But on the weekend, you know, we did. We did a bunch of stuff and went out to all these. All these gorgeous parks right outside of Belfast and everything. So we did that like every weekend. And now that we've been back, we've just been doing like, now they're back into soccer, they went to baseball, they went to soccer, we've been swimming, riding bikes, playing drums and taking them to get donuts. And I'm just trying to like, just be there, you know what I mean? And just, they're just growing up super fast. But it's one of the advantages of being an old dad. You're not sad that they're growing up fast. You're just excited like, okay, I saw another thing. You know, I think when you're younger you get sad, but if you're older, it's like you're in your old dad. You're worried that you're gonna die before they grow up. So them growing up fast is not necessarily a bad thing.

[Bill Burr]

That's.

[Joe Rogan]

It's nuts. But anyway, yeah, so I don't have any more acting gigs for the rest of the year. All I'm doing is stand up and it feels, dude, I, I feel like, I don't know, I feel like I lost 80 pounds. Stand up is, is like, it's just my favorite thing in the world. And, and I'm also. The way I'm doing the road coming up is going to be so goddamn fun to actually get to stay in these cities again as opposed to just visiting them one night. I just cannot fucking wait. It's going to be great anyway. And with that, let's do the the reads here for the week. Policy Genius, everybody.

[Joe Rogan]

you get life insurance is you should

[Bill Burr]

tell the person, man or woman, that you're living are they that you're living with, right? And you just tell them that you're getting life and you got life insurance and they are the beneficiary for a

[Joe Rogan]

million Dollars in life insurance, okay?

[Bill Burr]

And then just watch their behavior for

[Joe Rogan]

three months before you actually sign the thing.

[Bill Burr]

Have scientists test your food. Make sure they don't, because, you know,

[Joe Rogan]

life insurance is fantastic. If you have good people in your life.

[Bill Burr]

If you have bad people in your

[Joe Rogan]

life, you've given them motive.

[Bill Burr]

I'm sorry, My wife is just like that SNL sketch. Like, she watches all these fucking murder shows, and I swear to God, the amount of fucking people that never even cheated on their taxes, and then all

[Joe Rogan]

of a sudden could get a million dollars.

[Bill Burr]

And.

[Joe Rogan]

And they don't like their job, and

[Bill Burr]

they don't want to work anymore, and they don't like the way their husband eats toast. And next thing you know, they try to get away with murder. And the worst thing is, is they don't get away with it. And they killed you, so everybody loses and you're fucking dead. It's fucked. My wife right now is watching Worst Neighbor Ever. Worst Neighbor Ever. Which is the funniest name, because it's like neighbors killing each other. And then like, it's like, Worst Neighbor Ever. It should be in parentheses. It should say, am I right? Worst Neighbor Ever is just like somebody. They have loud parties or they're. They're always working on their old car and they got a bunch of junk in the front yard. That's the Worst neighbor ever. Somebody kills you. I think. We're not talking neighbor. My neighbor is a fucking bloodthirsty psycho. Maybe you call it that. Worst Neighbor Ever. Back me up. Am I right, guys?

[Joe Rogan]

Anyway,

[Bill Burr]

plowing ahead. Oh, look who it is, Everybody. It's simply safe. You know, in the US there's a break in every 26 seconds. That means somewhere right now an intruder is getting closer. What, are they moonwalking over here? The problem is they're walking like Jason and Friday the 13th. The problem is most security systems only alert you after a break in has already started. And that's too late. That's why I chose Simply Safe to secure my home using, you know what I wish they had for security rather than alerting the person before they get into your house. What would be great is if you could get the Bronx tale security. Now you can't leave, and then they're trapped in your house. You know, that would be great, because then it's like a mousetrap. It's a person trap, but, like, it catches. You know, it's like a mousetrap, but that catches people. Is this too deep for you guys? I haven't worked out all the bugs I always thought, you know, these people

[Joe Rogan]

that like get like a, a wild, like, like a panther or some is like a pet and it only likes them. How amazing would it be if somebody broke into somebody's house and they didn't realize they had like a pet alligator? One of those Florida people, those lunatics,

[Bill Burr]

you know,

[Joe Rogan]

I don't know, it's funny that they, they kind of look like reptiles after a while. Like sitting out in the sun, all leathery. Lizard people living with lizards.

[Bill Burr]

Anyway, that's why I chose Simply Safe

[Joe Rogan]

[Bill Burr]

All right, now we're into the business of your business. Oh, the cops are flying low over the neighborhood. New laugh Bill has everyone told you that your laugh has changed in the last eight years? Eight years? No, but I've changed. I'm listening to the throwback and you have a completely different laugh. Not cuz you're older, but the cadence itself, for lack of a better word. Word. It's more sinister, like a cartoon villain. Have you talked about this at all? Has anyone ever told you? No, and I have to be honest with you, I don't give a. My voice is also gradually getting deeper. Everything changes as you get older. I like this person. This person is very self involved. Like has anyone ever told you that your, your laugh has changed in the last eight years? Like in what world is that such a random thing to say? That's why I think you're self involved. Because you think like well if I notice this then everybody notices because what I think is what everybody thinks. I'm starting to get those vibes. I could be wrong. I'm listening to a throwback and you have a completely different laugh. I have like five different laughs to let you know. It all depends on what I'm talking

[Joe Rogan]

about and how funny is.

[Bill Burr]

And I don't know if you've noticed, but over the last few 10 years shit has gotten pretty sinister, you know, like, am I the only one that have noticed like the white supremacy vibes of the current administration and a certain sports league? It's insane.

[Joe Rogan]

Insane.

[Bill Burr]

You know, if you told me 10

[Joe Rogan]

years ago somebody was gonna whack a

[Bill Burr]

CEO, I mean it's that a standing president, you know, his administration was going to put the heads of the Obamas on the bodies of monkeys and they wouldn't immediately get impeached and all get fired, I mean that, you know, I don't know. But no, to answer your question, no one has told me that. I don't know. But this, it's nice to know that somebody is paying attention to that shit. Um, anyway, all right. Shit Tech families. Shit S H I T Tech T E C H Shit Tech families. Hey, Bill, did you hear about the company?

[Joe Rogan]

Oh, God, I don't want to hear about this.

[Bill Burr]

This is already making.

[Joe Rogan]

What are they doing to families now?

[Bill Burr]

Started by that huge piece of shit, Bill Gates daughter. It's called FIA P H I A. It's an app that finds you the best deal on items you wish to buy. When you buy, they get a kickback. Of course they do. Well, if this app is on your phone and you buy something without the help of the app, the app opens a browser window in the background and then quickly closes, tricking the site into thinking fiat drove the traffic to that purchase. You know, how much money do these people need to make? Like, what is Bill Gates, his daughter, worried about? Jesus Christ, why don't you go to one of those DJ shows and fucking stick fucking drugs on a tampon and whatever the fuck these kids do nowadays. I'll never forget when I first heard that the people do that because the membrane in your ass is like thin or so. I have no idea why you would do that. Like, how bad do you want to get high? Like, why would you just be like, hey, man, I draw the line at, you know, drinking, snorting and smoking. You know, I don't want to inject anything, I don't want to insert anything. Like, how do you talk to your buddy about, hey, man, I got you, dude. You want a really cool high, man? Your buddy breaks out some tampons dipped in molly or whatever the it. Like, what are we doing right now? What are we doing? Nobody. And. And, like, nobody. Okay, the tampons are out. You're soaking them in the trucks, starting to drop your pants. Nobody's saying, hey, wait a minute, man. What?

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Hey,

[Bill Burr]

Last thing. Last time I checked, weed's legal. You know, like, let's keep this. New rule. New rule. If you got to take your pants off, if that's part of getting high, we're not doing it right. Am I right? Come on, man. All right. Anyway, now, I'm not naive. I expect people who weren't brought up by psychopath tech monopolizing health scare gifting ass clowns like Bill Gates would also do this. This is the guy who just happened to buy into farm companies right before the leak of a virus. This is the guy who destroyed the chance for us to have a variety of computer computing options and to hire a PR firm to ship public perception of him. Maybe when his daughter uses all those connections to build something we shouldn't be too surprised that she's ripping people off.

[Joe Rogan]

Yeah, I know, dude.

[Bill Burr]

It's, it's fucking. It's the wild west out there. And while I'm at it, these tech ass hats have no power without the banks that fund them. Elon does not have a trillion dollars. It's paper leverage. It's a complicated game of stripping wealth through retirement portfolios and market monopolies. Fuck this shit. I'm going Amish. Yeah. You know, I don't know how to start the rebellion, but I'll definitely join it. You know, I don't know what's going

[Joe Rogan]

to happen, but I do know that

[Bill Burr]

what they're doing, people have tried to

[Joe Rogan]

do forever and they always feel like

[Bill Burr]

they have a big enough army or

[Joe Rogan]

enough technology and it never, it never works. So I don't know, I, I'm just trying to be cool and nice to people and be empathetic. I'm trying not to be a racist fucking moron white guy that thinks his country is being taken away from him by people who aren't white. It. It's being taken away from us by white people. And they are not your common, everyday, run of the mill people. It's, it's. And they're not sinister or evil looking. They look like Bill Gates. They look like the Tesla guy. You know, they're just suits.

[Bill Burr]

And you can tell none of them

[Joe Rogan]

know how to fight. And they have never gotten into a fight. You know, you know, you go to a dojo and they teach you and you got a billion dollars and they start giving you belts. You know, you know this, it's like, all right, okay. I mean, I don't, I don't know. I don't get any of it. I really don't. I don't understand any of it.

[Bill Burr]

But I do know this standing on

[Joe Rogan]

stage and making you guys laugh is still a human to human connection. And it feels great. Feels great. So I'm just going to keep doing that and you know, shooting the.

[Bill Burr]

With people while I drink a cup of coffee. That's my game. That's how I'm fighting AI.

[Joe Rogan]

I'm just going to keep doing what I've always done.

[Bill Burr]

And I wish I never got this

[Joe Rogan]

new iPhone because you literally cannot talk on it. You feel like your brain is scrambling. So I'm thinking of downgrading, buying a used. A used one a little less. You know what I mean? Go back in time anyway. All right, film industry, Bill.

[Bill Burr]

I lived in LA for 30 years.

[Joe Rogan]

Since I moved here, everything has become more Uncomfortable why? My industry, while my industry has slowly disappeared.

[Bill Burr]

This didn't just happen. Every governor, mayor, and person in power position has done this through regulations and tax laws. I'm not even just talking about stripping the industry of its tax breaks. I'm talking about choking production with permits and taxes that overtly make it impossible to conduct business here. I have no political affiliation anymore, though historically, I voted Democrat in most elections, local and federal. Once a year, I give lectures to young. Yeah, well, I mean, like, like Netflix

[Joe Rogan]

was not movie people. Netflix was like, I think private equity and private equity has gone in everywhere.

[Bill Burr]

And just whatever industry, they just fold

[Joe Rogan]

it up and put it in their back pocket and walk away from it

[Bill Burr]

and pay off all the politicians and the blue ties and the red ties

[Joe Rogan]

are more than willing to take the money. So I like that you have no political affiliation. I don't either. My. My affiliation is with my fellow American.

[Bill Burr]

And I don't give a fuck where you lean, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian Party.

[Joe Rogan]

I don't give a fuck if you

[Bill Burr]

work for a fucking living.

[Joe Rogan]

And you are getting fucked by these,

[Bill Burr]

you know, the people living in the stratosphere. You know, I am on your side.

[Joe Rogan]

I don't give a shit what state you're in. I don't give a shit about your accent. I don't give a shit what color you are.

[Bill Burr]

We're all on the same team.

[Joe Rogan]

And I'm not buying into this crap that you know, oh, you're a Republican Fox News guy, and I'm a fucking this guy and you're that guy.

[Bill Burr]

No, no, no. We're all.

[Joe Rogan]

We're all getting fucked by the same people. And they're just making us point our fingers at each other.

[Bill Burr]

They're destabilizing the country

[Joe Rogan]

for their own greedy wants. I don't know. I don't know what their deal is. Anyway.

[Bill Burr]

Once a year, I give lectures to

[Joe Rogan]

young people with hopes of working in

[Bill Burr]

the industry at a few schools in the area. When they would ask why this happened and why no one did anything about it as it was happening, I didn't have the answers. A few years back,

[Joe Rogan]

I made a

[Bill Burr]

chart of every policy and politician that made this reality. The worst of the worst happened starting in 2005. People often want to look at the 2008 financial crash, but this was already in motion. Oh, yeah, yeah, they. Once they started taking us off the gold standard. I know Nixon, you know, you go all the way back to fucking Woodrow Wilson, the creation of the Federal Reserve, all the way up to Nixon. He takes us off the gold standard. And then Clinton did something that set up that bubble. I, I believe it was Clinton that signed it. And it, it set up this thing where people who weren't qualified were now qualified to bid on houses. So that drove up artificially the price

[Joe Rogan]

of the house because now rather than

[Bill Burr]

trying to outbid one or two people, you had to try to outbid seven. And they got all these people in these fucking houses knowing good, good and goddamn well that they were going to go bankrupt and they would just kick them back out the other side. It was fucking. And nobody went to jail. So anyways, yeah, 2008 didn't just come out of nowhere. We were on our way there. It was like in the early 80s when they first started deregulating capitalism, when that administration in the early 80s was in there, I'm going to avoid, I shouldn't say president's name. So people just listen to information rather than being like, well Trump did, Biden did this. Like they, you know, first started deregulating, you know, those rules of media ownership. I think actually one of the worst things that happened in this country was

[Joe Rogan]

the baby boom generation stopped the Vietnam

[Bill Burr]

War and the people that profit off of false flag wars were like, what

[Joe Rogan]

the fuck just happened? We lost the kids, we lost the media, we lost our war, we lost our money making thing. And they were like, you know what, that's never going to fucking happen again. And they systematically broke down media and critical thinking in the colleges they went after that type of shit.

[Bill Burr]

It's like when Seinfeld went into fucking syndication. And I feel like this whole fucking industry was like, how the fuck do we owe a stand up comedian half a billion dollars? We're never giving out this deal again. That's what they do. They don't like to lose. These are just my theories.

[Joe Rogan]

Why don't I shut the fuck up for once? For once, Bill. Okay, so let's continue on.

[Bill Burr]

The worst of the worst happened, started in 2005. People often want to look at the 2008 financial crash, but this was already in motion. It was largely done by Democrats whose campaigns were filled. Okay, I'm already starting to get like this, you know, and I mainly vote Democrats, but Democrats fill this all up. It was largely done by Democrats who can't whose campaigns were filled with dribble about caring about the working class. Yeah, that's why I always think Democrats are worse because they actually, well, I

[Joe Rogan]

guess Republicans do it too. We're going to drain the swamp. No, you're not. And neither are The Democrats, you guys are all in this one.

[Bill Burr]

No human being can say this at a podium and then work with demons to destroy a workforce and a culture in such a short time. And there's nothing wrong in a case where Democrats were largely to blame, to actually blame them. Republicans destroy us overseas and Democrats destroy us here. I think that's overly simplistic.

[Joe Rogan]

I think they both destroy us overseas

[Bill Burr]

and they both destroy us at home. I mean, that Iraq war bankrupted us and there wasn't a Democrat or Republican that voted against it. Maybe there was one or two. They all know what's going on. I feel like they're all wet in their beak out of the same puddle. And they just. I believe in the illusion of choice, that theory and that they're all doing the same thing.

[Joe Rogan]

I don't know.

[Bill Burr]

It's all a gift grift to siphon money 100%. No one is going to be safer

[Joe Rogan]

in the Middle East.

[Bill Burr]

No one is going to be better off in la. To top it all off, when I am critical of poor leadership, I occasionally get shamed for my opinion. Oh, toughen the fuck up.

[Joe Rogan]

Adults saying they get shamed.

[Bill Burr]

What, somebody doesn't agree with you? I love LA and I love America. And I have every right to speak. And I have every right to speak my mind. Yeah, well, grow a fucking speak. Fine. Stand by what you say. You're not being shamed. They just don't agree with you. Welcome to my fucking world. And I have every right to speak my mind. And anyone who thinks I'm political baiting is a moron.

[Joe Rogan]

All right, well, there's a nice absolute that's not going to end an argument.

[Bill Burr]

If you don't agree with me, you're fucking stupid. I want actual change. I don't need some Manchurian Candidate who didn't grow up in LA to tell me why I'm wrong for being upset about the current state of things. I also blame ourselves for not having the right leadership or awareness in place to lobby in favor of policies that would have protected our industry. P.S. california is raising taxes on the middle class again because they hate us.

[Joe Rogan]

I mean, that's just stupid. They don't hate the middle class. We're bankrupt.

[Bill Burr]

You understand that?

[Joe Rogan]

We are trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars in debt and they have to get the money somewhere.

[Bill Burr]

And rich people are.

[Joe Rogan]

They have enough money to not pay fucking taxes, so they got to take it somewhere.

[Bill Burr]

They don't hate you to say that they hate you. Means they actually think about you.

[Joe Rogan]

They don't give a fuck.

[Bill Burr]

They'll. They don't care about anything.

[Joe Rogan]

They.

[Bill Burr]

They are in the. At this point, it is.

[Joe Rogan]

So they're all just looking out for

[Bill Burr]

themselves and wherever they can squeeze an extra dime out of somebody, they're going after that. But don't take it personal.

[Joe Rogan]

Anyway.

[Bill Burr]

But yeah, no, and also what happened

[Joe Rogan]

to the entertainment business has happened, as far as I can tell, with every single business. Like, it just seems like one or two people came up with an app or a business plan like a Spotify

[Bill Burr]

to just take all of music and all the royalties and just stick it in their back pocket and they walk away and they become billionaires. And the people that actually did the work and created it all get fucked. We're all in the same boat. Which is why I try to avoid the Democrat, Republican thing.

[Joe Rogan]

I try to avoid the

[Bill Burr]

that shit because, you know, and it's really fucking hard because people are so on purpose, they've been brainwashed to just sit there, you know, I mean, this whole Epstein island shit, it's like the fact that nobody is going to jail for that

[Joe Rogan]

and nobody's getting investigated.

[Bill Burr]

And when you try to have a conversation with it with people, it's like they're so protective of their political candidate because candidates, it seemed on both sides, went there and people are so fiercely protective of their party that all they can't get past, well, so and so went there too. It's like, great, they should both be in jail. You can't get past that. It just becomes, well, you know, this blue tie guy did this. Well, what about this red tie guy? And we just sit there and argue

[Joe Rogan]

and nothing seems to get done. So, I mean, I don't know. I've been saying this forever. It's like we all have to kind of let go of this stuff. It's like what you were saying, like you're getting, you know, shamed, which I think is. I don't think adults should talk that way. All right, I, I think, okay, if you, if you bring up, you know, your conservative thought in la, in Hollywood, people just bark at you and blah, blah, blah, they're not going to agree with you. But like, I think that's stupid because, you know, conservative thought is right just as much as liberal thought as long as you don't go into the extreme of either one. And the extreme is what CNN and Fox News are showing you to get you into a heightened emotional state. So we won't listen to each other. So we won't get onto the same page so that these demon cunts can steep do keep doing business with the lizard people. I mean, is.

[Bill Burr]

Is it.

[Joe Rogan]

Am I crazy? I think it's. It's that simple.

[Bill Burr]

Anyway, I like you guys.

[Joe Rogan]

I got no beef with you, and

[Bill Burr]

I got no beef with your political opinions, as long as you're not a racist, a homophobe, or a white nationalist.

[Joe Rogan]

I got this new bit that I'm working on, like, there's yet another white nationalist hate group, and I just love that.

[Bill Burr]

It's like, what was wrong with the other ones? Were they not hating enough. Or is it just we want to strike out our own? You know, I want to make my own name for myself. You know, like when the Zildjian brothers got into a fight and then one of them left and created Sabian. I don't know.

[Joe Rogan]

That strikes me as funny. Anyway, that's it, people.

[Bill Burr]

All right, go yourselves and I'll check in on you on Thursday.
