Bill Burr
Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Monday Morning podcast for Monday, January 27, 2025. What's going on? How are ya? How's it going? How are you? All right. Well, it is Sunday afternoon, January 26th, when I'm recording this. The. The fucking Philadelphia Eagles just handled. Absolutely mauled the Washington commanders too much for them, Too much defense, too much offense, too much everything. But what a run the Washington commanders had. You know what's funny is there's all like, the white guys I know my.
- [00:44]
Paul Virzi
Age are like, dude, I just. I'll just never be able to call them that name.
- [00:56]
Bill Burr
Oh, it must be really hard. It's got to be really hard. It's just. Jesus Christ, is that your biggest complaint in life? I've been getting all the boobirds coming at me this week. You know, somebody sent me a thing. They replayed that thing I did on Kimmel. Well, I was making fun of all these people who were like, this fire.
- [01:13]
Paul Virzi
Was mismanaged out here. Which, by the way, it's fucking raining out here. Thank God. Thank God it's raining out here. You know, which obviously we need to.
- [01:25]
Bill Burr
Prevent more of them, obviously.
- [01:26]
Paul Virzi
And then also to knock down some of this fucking crap in the air do. Because the air quality out here is hell. Dude, it's brutal. Just think of all the plastic spatulas that are out there. You know what I mean? Just all dashboards, you know, all the plastic shit. You have computers, all that wire, all of that stuff just got fucking burned. And, oh, my God, people lost their houses and they got to stay here, trying to find a place to live and breathe that shit in. So believe me, we needed the rain. And once again, the fire department did a great job. Everybody did a great fucking job. And all of these fucking assholes. Like, somebody sent me this thing from the LA Times. The LA Times, the L. A Times. After the fire.
- [02:09]
Bill Burr
Right after the fire. The fire. Still, everybody after the fire knows what we should have done, you know, we should have done. Hey, LA Times, you know what you should have done? You should have wrote that fucking article every fucking week before the fire. If you wanted to do something, anybody can write the article afterward, you know, now there's going to be mudslides, and they could be. They should have done that Monday morning after the disaster, what you should have done. I might be nuts here, but I don't think any politicians can get anything done because the other side won't work with them. They're like, well, we can't have them accomplish something. If they accomplish something, then they're going to look good. If they look good, then they're going to get elected and then we don't. And if we're not elected, then how will we accept bribes from corporations and make 200 grand a year but somehow be worth 60 million? How much you guys notice that at all? Like whenever, like we like, hey, we want to do this project immediately. Everybody, oh, it's going to cost. You're going to do that when we still need to do this. And then everybody just yells at each other. All right? Everybody has known for a long time what the fuck was going to happen out here and what needed to be done, but nobody wanted to pay for it. Okay? There's also that. So like all, all of these, these all you Monday morning quarterback fire people weighing in about what should have done and what, what they shouldn't have fucking done. It's just like, you know, it all goes back to the cunts all the way up at the top who don't fucking pay taxes and want to own and control fucking everything and then don't want to pay. And the only thing they want to do is pay off a politician. That's the only thing that they want to pay.
- [03:55]
Paul Virzi
And then what happens is regular people fucking suffer. All right, I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
- [04:02]
Bill Burr
I talk about more this more than.
- [04:04]
Paul Virzi
My Kansas City Chiefs conspiracy theory. I know I'm a fucking broken record.
- [04:08]
Bill Burr
Here, so let's get out of that, all right? The time to have done something was before it didn't happen. So now we need leaders. We don't need people sitting around pointing fingers, trying to fucking. I don't know, I don't know what.
- [04:22]
Paul Virzi
What are you trying to win blaming anyway?
- [04:27]
Bill Burr
I really feel like that's how the.
- [04:28]
Paul Virzi
World'S gonna end when the asteroids coming.
- [04:30]
Bill Burr
It's just every good. Well, these fucking liberals, if they let us build the ray gun, well, that's.
- [04:36]
Paul Virzi
Because the religious right, boom, that's going to be the end of it.
- [04:43]
Bill Burr
Anyway, so I went out to the.
- [04:45]
Paul Virzi
Desert with two great friends of mine.
- [04:48]
Bill Burr
Last night and I went and I.
- [04:51]
Paul Virzi
Saw Johnny Mathis, something I've been meaning to do.
- [04:53]
Bill Burr
Every time I go out to the desert, I see he's performing out there. He's 89 years old.
- [04:57]
Paul Virzi
I was like, I gotta go fucking see this guy.
- [05:00]
Bill Burr
So me and my two buddies, we go out there, we get a nice steak dinner. They treat us great at the casino and everything. We go in.
- [05:12]
Paul Virzi
You know, I was with other like performers and shit. And we were all just laughing, going like, I don't think I've ever seen.
- [05:17]
Bill Burr
The front of this casino. And the people like, dude, you've played here twice. It's like, I've never been here.
- [05:22]
Paul Virzi
This is amazing.
- [05:23]
Bill Burr
And just. It's fucking awesome. We were walking around, we went to the sports bar. I watched the Kansas Wildcats game. I taped it.
- [05:32]
Paul Virzi
I still haven't. Kansas was like up by five and then it was time to go get a D. We got an amazing steak dinner. And then we got. Then we went into the showroom.
- [05:46]
Bill Burr
And.
- [05:46]
Paul Virzi
We sat down and it was like at least a 20 piece orchestra. Like I don't know what kind of money Johnny was laying out for these guys, but he had a whole string.
- [05:56]
Bill Burr
Section, a whole section of horns, big band.
- [06:00]
Paul Virzi
The drummer was killer. The musical director, the piano player was amazing percussionist. Everybody was crushing it and out comes Johnny Mathis. And I'm sitting there in the friggin.
- [06:10]
Bill Burr
I don't know, third or fourth row and I couldn't believe it. And then he just fucking. He just launches into, you know, chances are. Cause I. Holy shit is Johnny, man. And he sounded great. And you know, he's really gracious, just old school class, dressed to the nines.
- [06:36]
Paul Virzi
You know, 89 years old. And then like his mic control, the whole.
- [06:40]
Bill Burr
Just all of that old showbiz class.
- [06:43]
Paul Virzi
You dress up, you wear a jacket, you look nice. And he came out, he was totally gracious with everybody was there and the crowd was, you know, it was an. Obviously an older crowd or whatever, but underrated, man. Going to go see these legends at a casino. You're really doing yourself a disservice if you don't go see these people. So I remember I saw Don Rickles towards the end of his life out there. I saw what's his face. Tony Orlando opened up and he killed. And then this was. Johnny Mathis had no opener, but he took a break in the middle. And then this comic came out, Brad Upton, who absolutely destroyed. I want to tell you his jokes, but I don't want to burn him. But he was like work totally clean and absolutely murdered. Really enjoyed his set. And then Johnny came out in a tuxedo to close it out, sang all of these hits and he was very gracious, you know, kept thanking the band and everything. And then I think his last number was Let the Good Times Roll. And then he just walked and I just was like, you know, I've been listening to that guy since I was a kid. Like the first thing was that Johnny Mathis Christmas record. My parents had. Just hear those sleigh bells ring a ling ting, ting, ting a ling. And I'm just.
- [08:08]
Bill Burr
There he is right there. You just drive a couple hours out to a casino if he's in town and go see him. You should definitely do it. They treated us like a million bucks there.
- [08:22]
Paul Virzi
All right, I want to make sure I say that the casino name, right? The Agua Caliento Resort Casino Spa in Rancho Mirage. We were out there and we had. They treated us. They treated us like kings. Then we got to go see one of the legends, the great singer songwriters of all time, Johnny Mathis. I still can't believe it. I'm just. That's why I kept thinking when I was there, like, I can't believe I'm in the same room with that. That's Johnny fucking Mathis. This guy has been doing it since like the 1950s, like a 70 year career.
- [08:58]
Bill Burr
And like.
- [09:01]
Paul Virzi
I like Brad Set so much, I looked him up and he was saying how he has been working with Johnny Mathis for 17 years, which means he got the gig when Johnny Mathis was 72.
- [09:13]
Bill Burr
And he's got to be thinking, all.
- [09:15]
Paul Virzi
Right, maybe I can do this for, you know, anywhere from three to five years. And then he's going to retire.
- [09:20]
Bill Burr
Seventeen years later, he still got a gig. And then just all those musicians that Johnny was employing was just.
- [09:31]
Paul Virzi
It was just really a great thing to see. A great thing to see. And then on top of all that, it rained today. So it's been nothing but great, a great day. The Eagles crushed the Washington Redskins. It was my daughter's like, post birthday party, like the one that she had with her friends. So we had this video game cheeseburger party. So the kids were just all bouncing off the wall. And I had the game on in the background and I saw the commanders kind of made it close a couple of times. And then they just. Eagles just sort of ran away with it. I have not watched the Kansas City Chiefs game. I think that's on now.
- [10:07]
Bill Burr
But, you know, I was thinking about.
- [10:09]
Paul Virzi
All of that stuff of like now it's like the Taylor Swift. Everybody's gonna be like, oh, you know. Cause they were cutting it like Bradley Cooper a couple of times in the crowd, which is so funny. Just like the ratings, it's like, it works with Taylor Swift. Is Bradley Cooper the Taylor Swift of the Eagles?
- [10:23]
Bill Burr
Right? And I'm like kind of, you know, what is like, they just keep doing the same thing over and over.
- [10:29]
Paul Virzi
Again, Tom was with Giselle.
- [10:32]
Bill Burr
Fucking the tight ends with. With Taylor, right? That Kelsey's with Dan. It's the same, right? Yeah, this works. Let's just keep doing this shit, right? And I was trying to think, like, when. Like, the first time they really started.
- [10:45]
Paul Virzi
Showing celebrities in the crowd, sort of the history of that was at the Lakers game. And the first guy there was like, Jack Nicholson was there first.
- [10:55]
Bill Burr
And he was there in, like, the late 70s. I want to say. He was there before Kareem.
- [11:01]
Paul Virzi
Maybe Kareem got there. Maybe Kareem was already.
- [11:03]
Bill Burr
He was there in, like, the late 70s, and he got courtside seats. And you don't understand the fucking 1970s. The only fucking people that were in the stands were sports fans. There wasn't even corp. There wasn't. There was no corporate boxes.
- [11:16]
Paul Virzi
There was no luxury boxes. There was nothing. It was just a fucking arena full of a bunch of meathead sports fans, right?
- [11:22]
Bill Burr
So if you were at the game.
- [11:23]
Paul Virzi
You were there because you wanted to be. Sorry, I was taking my jacket off and I hit some fucking thing on the side of the phone.
- [11:29]
Bill Burr
Anyway, so if you were at the.
- [11:31]
Paul Virzi
Game, you were at the game because you wanted to be. You were like, you know, a sports fan. So Jack Nicholson was the first guy. And then the Lakers got Magic Johnson. And all of a sudden the Showtime Lakers, Pat Riley with the great fucking hair, they win in 1980. And, you know. But they wouldn't cut to Jack all the time, but you knew that he was there.
- [11:53]
Bill Burr
And then it kind of became like this thing to do. But it always made sense with the Lakers because they were in Hollywood. So they would cut to the crowd and Diane Cannon and all these people would be there. And I gotta admit, as a Celtics fan, it wasn't annoying because you were kind of like. Like, wow, they're in Hollywood. And the Lakers uniform, you know, they were gold. It looked like the sun. And it was just like. I don't know if you. This is weird for people to hear now, the way they got us all.
- [12:21]
Paul Virzi
Divided in the United States. How we're divided.
- [12:27]
Bill Burr
Like, people used to look at California.
- [12:28]
Paul Virzi
Like it was a dream. You know what I mean? Oh, my God, the orange groves and the sunshine and, you know, people did talk about the smog by then in the seventies, but the whole. The east coast used to look at California with like. Like envy of. Oh, my God, they're living in paradise. Look at the palm trees and the women are all gorgeous. I mean, you didn't live out here, so you didn't know what it was. It was just your idea of it. And then you'd see, you know, Jack Nicholson was courtside and Diane Cannon was gorgeous. And then later it's like Paula Abdul was a Laker girl. And then she becomes like this pop star. And, you know, I remember, I think I saw Eddie Murphy at like a game. I was just like that, like, like. And that, like, was leading into me getting into this business being like, wow, man, that's. And that was like my idea. That's what being famous was. You know what I mean? You were like a, you know, sunglasses and you went to like a Lakers game and you sat on the court or whatever, you know, and that's like what was being. So that's where it started. And then.
- [13:30]
Bill Burr
But I think when it. The first time, when I felt like.
- [13:32]
Paul Virzi
It really got out of control was not, you know, how many times they.
- [13:36]
Bill Burr
Cut to Taylor Swift, but she really.
- [13:37]
Paul Virzi
Doesn'T have control over. But was with Drake. Remember when the Raptors went on that run?
- [13:44]
Bill Burr
And I always felt bad because the.
- [13:46]
Paul Virzi
Raptors had this super fan, right, that Middle Eastern dude, right, with the fucking.
- [13:52]
Bill Burr
The turban.
- [13:53]
Paul Virzi
And he went to every home game, every away game when they sucked.
- [13:58]
Bill Burr
And he was just a super fan. He had great energy and everybody loved him. And then when all of a sudden.
- [14:04]
Paul Virzi
They had the team and they went.
- [14:05]
Bill Burr
On the run, Drake had the Jack Nicholson tickets, and then they just cut to him and they never showed the other guy and they. Dude, and they kept cutting to Drake and Drake was like walking out on the court like he was an assistant coach. So I think that's the first time that shit started happen. But I'm starting to feel like, like.
- [14:24]
Paul Virzi
That'S going to be like a thing now. Like, if Taylor Swift keeps increasing the ratings of the Chiefs or helping them out or whatever, then these other teams are going to be like, okay, well, who's famous?
- [14:42]
Bill Burr
That's from. You know, who's. Who's famous, that's from Pittsburgh or who's famous. That's from whatever. And then you're going to go to a game and then they're just going to keep cutting. Okay, here's our famous person or whatever, you know, So I don't know.
- [15:00]
Paul Virzi
It's like.
- [15:01]
Bill Burr
It is.
- [15:01]
Paul Virzi
It is like a different thing. So I want to see this. This, you know, I'm taping the game. I really want to see this Kansas City Buffalo game.
- [15:08]
Bill Burr
And I just really just hope the NFL. Can you just make it a football game? Because these are two incredibly talented teams. With a bunch of incredible players. Can you please stop with the marketing and just let the best team win so the people that you've really forgot about, your fans, the reason why you've been around for over a hundred fucking years, your fucking fans can actually watch a fucking game. All right, While you do the flyovers and cut to the pop stars and fucking all the other goddamn bullshit that you're gonna do during the guy and fucking stand up for cancer and fucking pink jerseys and all of this shit. Can you just fucking let us watch.
- [15:48]
Paul Virzi
A game where it's decided on the field? I would, I would really enjoy that out of a Chiefs game because I.
- [15:54]
Bill Burr
Feel like it's been quite a while.
- [15:56]
Paul Virzi
Since I've seen that because I really.
- [15:57]
Bill Burr
Want to see, you know, you want me to buy into like this who Patrick Mahomes is as great as you.
- [16:01]
Paul Virzi
Say, and then I want to see.
- [16:02]
Bill Burr
Him actually win the game without the laundry. All right there. I said I wasn't going to talk about it, but I did.
- [16:13]
Paul Virzi
But I did.
- [16:15]
Bill Burr
Does Josh Allen bigger than John Wayne, but still has his six year old boyish good looks? I swear his face looks like it's. It's photoshopped onto like Paul Bunyan's body. Like if he wasn't famous, I bet if he went out to get a.
- [16:35]
Paul Virzi
Beer, they would still ask him for an id.
- [16:38]
Bill Burr
It's not a bad thing.
- [16:40]
Paul Virzi
It's not a bad thing. And I think in the future, you know, when, when men start doing plastic surgery at the level that some of these Instagram whores are doing it, I think one, one of like there's going to be some sort of Josh Allen. They're going to call it the Josh Allen serum. And you could be like, what's that?
- [17:00]
Bill Burr
That's like you play tackle football for.
- [17:03]
Paul Virzi
Almost 30 years and your face still looks like you're in the fourth grade.
- [17:11]
Bill Burr
You can, you could sell that to a billionaire. I think you could get that off the ground, you know, if, you know, you did the right sort of song and dance on Shark Tank.
- [17:24]
Paul Virzi
How diabolical will that be if you actually came in with some young forever serum on the Shark Tank and you got all of them to buy into it because there's hair plugs on that show, right? There's a lot of stuff going on in that show. Right. For these people still to look like they're, they're young and vero, right? And then they all buy into it and then you fucking, you give it to them and then that's how you take Them out Luigi style, you know, and then that, then that becomes like a thing, right? Regular people taking out CEOs becomes a thing and the media does nothing to stop it. They just overhype it. You know, the way they did school shootings, the way they didn't give a fuck about our kids as much as they cared about their own fucking ratings, you know, and getting the camera in the fucking devastated parents faces, they did it the same way, you know, as opposed to, you know, toe in the company line when a CEO gets whacked, like if they treated them the way that they treat like fucking regular people.
- [18:27]
Bill Burr
All right, Bill, do you have anything to talk about? I sold my car.
- [18:32]
Paul Virzi
I finally had to sell my Jaguar. I had an almost, almost a little over eight years and, you know, it just started being a Jaguar. And I put a whole bunch of money into it. I made sure the person who bought it even did the full tank of gas. I'm one of those people, you know, I got every, every little thing fixed because I love that car. And the person that I sold it to was also a Jaguar person, and they loved the car. So I was very happy. I'm like, I can't believe how sad I get and how attached I get attached to things the same way I get attached to people. It's fucked. You know what I mean? Like, but then when I finally, like sell the thing, it only bugs me for a couple weeks and I'm like, you know, it's kind of cool not to have that. You know, I get. I can kind of move on to something else. So, I don't know, it was just. I learned a lot with that car. And one of the things I've learned from mechanics is whatever time they tell you to change your oil, do it twice as fast. So if you got like this synthetic oil, they're like, you only need to.
- [19:44]
Bill Burr
Change your once a fucking year.
- [19:46]
Paul Virzi
Do it twice a year. If you're doing the old school oil and they say every 3000 miles, do it every 1500 miles. And I learned that listening to mechanics. And I saw this little old lady. Little old lady, she had a car from the 1950s and it was still running. And they said, what do you do? She goes, I change the oil every 1500 miles. That's something I think should be fucking illegal to tell your own customers who just gave you fucking money. You don't give them the right information on how to maintain what you gave them. So it'll break down twice as fucking fast so you can sell them another one Um, I don't know, I. You know, it's kind of thing.
- [20:33]
Bill Burr
I don't think it's right.
- [20:35]
Paul Virzi
Um, so anyway, I'm gonna be down the Comedy Store tonight running my hour. Cuz tomorrow night I'm doing a co headlining gig with Shane Gillison. I don't think I've ever worked with him in this capacity. I never done a theory gig with him. I was supposed to do the Hollywood bowl with him and then I think he did the Tom Brady roast or something like that. I did a spot on Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen had this epic night last year during the. The Netflix. Netflix Comedy festival, whatever the hell they call it. And it was, it was Seth Post Malone, Snoop Dogg. It was just this insane, insane lineup and they threw me on like last second. But anyways, I want to say Shane was supposed to be on that, but he was doing the Tom Brady roast, which I think got like nine zillion fucking hits or something like that. So I think he made the right choice. But anyways, I'm really excited to work with him, but I got to make sure I don't suck. So tonight I'm going to the gym, doing some cardio, gonna try out some new bits that I got. And yeah, so I'm now like debating. I think I might sell my F250 also. And the only reason why I'm gonna sell it is because I don't like new cars. Like the way that thing. That truck is not my friend. The engine is my friend, the body, the truck itself is. But within that truck is a spy.
- [22:16]
Bill Burr
And it's constantly trying to figure out.
- [22:18]
Paul Virzi
What music I'm listening to, what I'm talking about. I don't want a car that's spying on me. Is that like asking too much? I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna be driving old cars for the rest of my life. So I found this 1970. Oh, Jesus, Bill. This 1970 Cadillac El Dorado that was like this aqua blue or green white cream interior. You can find it on bring a trailer. Somebody bought it for like 33 grand, you know, white cream interior. It was gorgeous. And people like, where are you gonna park? Where are you gonna park that?
- [22:59]
Bill Burr
It's like wherever the I want, where the fuck I want. Somebody steals it, I don't give a shit, you know, what am I going to do? Then I'll excuse to get a different one.
- [23:09]
Paul Virzi
I'll get insurance, you know what I mean?
- [23:11]
Bill Burr
Insurance will cover that. If everybody's car gets stolen, then they go, we're not paying anybody and we're keeping the fucking premiums. And then by the way, we're also.
- [23:19]
Paul Virzi
Going to raise everybody else's premium because all those cars got stolen even though we didn't take the fucking hit. And you know, nobody's going to discipline us because we're insurance companies and we're too big to be disciplined. It always goes back to that. It's always going to go back to that. Just know that it always goes back to that and that there's nothing I can do about it. I've entered these years. So let's talk cars. I like, I'm a big Caddy guy. I like the 65 Coupe de Bill. I like a 67 to 70 Eldorado. And then like I never used to like the 68, 69 Coupe de Ville. And there's something about it. I'm really starting to like it. And then there's the early 70s, the one that's after that, the next generation. Those ones are cool too. The one I remember seeing those Cadillacs. First time I saw those, I want to say that I saw them at Elvis, the footage of Elvis's funeral. They had some white, there's some. All these different Cadillacs because he was a big Cadillac guy. So I like those. I like a 65 Buick Riviera with the clamshell. I like the big cars or like the mid sized big ones. The Ford Galaxy. I'll tell you what's a great car if you can find it is, is the first Dirty Harry, Detective Callahan, Clint Eastwood's car. I think it was just, it was just. What did they used to call those where it was just the basic, like a. Not a Ford custom. It was a. It's funny, it was just like it was the, the base model four door sedan, I think it's called a Ford 500. And his was like midnight blue four door cop car. And you know all of those guys on those gas monkey shows, like for some reason they don't like four door cars. So those things all, you know, went to the junkyard and got crushed or just rotted out or whatever. So you can't, you can't find them anywhere. Like I remember I had a buddy of mine, he was looking for a 4 door hardtop 59 Chevy Impala. So I had this car guy looking for him. He's like, dude, these things are fucking unicorns, man. He's like, I cannot find like it. He goes, you want a two door? He goes, they're all over the place. I can find you A zillion of those. It has to be four door. And I was like, oh, you know, it's his childhood car, he wants it. This is the thing that he wants, or whatever. So it took him forever to find one. But anyway, I'll tell you this. I have a weird feeling about Buffalo today. I have a strange feeling that Buffalo is not going to be Buffalo. But I don't know. Can. Do you honestly think that they're going to go in a K? They already beat Kansas City once this year. Are you going to beat Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs and that officiating crew and the NFL who just absolutely love them?
- [26:27]
Bill Burr
I don't know. That's a. That's a tall fucking order.
- [26:31]
Paul Virzi
That is a tall order.
- [26:32]
Bill Burr
So anyway, this is my last week.
- [26:34]
Paul Virzi
Out here in LA before I go back to start rehearsal on the play. It's actually been a good thing. I've gotten in so many hangs with so many people. That's why I went out to go see Johnny Mathis, because two good friends of mine, I wanted to hang with them before I left. And I've been hitting all these food spots. Like I do this thing with my son, Donuts, Donut, Drum and Donut Days. So we go over to Pro Drum Shop on Vine, the best drum store in Los Angeles, one of the best drum stores in the world. And we go over there and my son gets so into playing. Well, the first time I got over, he was so into playing the drums there that every time I would ask him to leave, he would get all like, emotional. So I finally had to like bribe him going, you want to get a donut?
- [27:26]
Bill Burr
And he was like, a donut? I'm like, yeah. He's like, yeah, right. He was the greatest idea ever.
- [27:32]
Paul Virzi
So now it's called Drum and Donut Day. So, you know, we went there and we played some drums and he was playing like the first beat you learn how to play. Boom, crack, boom crack, boom crack. And he's just. He just has it. He just has it. He's got great time and he doesn't give a. That there's people in the store. He's not self conscious. I'm like really excited. So I'm gonna try to teach him, you know, don't, dad, that. I'm gonna try to teach him that before I leave. And then I got all of this, that I'm just gonna be doing FaceTime and my kids while I'm away. But I'll still see him one week a month and everything. I'm scheduling stuff. So I do see him, but that's gonna be the worst part of it. But the good part is I get to do a Broadway play and I'm off book. I'm ready to go and I'm very excited and I hope to see you guys out there. I believe it starts On, I think March 10th is when it starts. All right, and with that, I'm going to do some reads here for this week. Let's see. All right, here we go. All right, the reads for the week. Scrolling up.

A lot of about the Billy Corgan thing and questions about how much of it was a bit okay, well, you think my life's a fucking joke. All right. Chiefs complaining debunked. I love when people say that. Chiefs complaining debunked. What? Debunked What? Because you want it debunked? This Chiefs complaining. My opinion. What's going on there, Billy Complain tits. First off, I am not a Chiefs fan and I'm a Democrat, but these liberals are out of their minds. Everybody does this. So let's get that excuse out of the way for you Dolphins fan here, all right? You sound like a CNN Fox News nutcase. Except with football when it comes to the complaining about the Chiefs and Mahomes. Oh, you must not be watching them. You didn't watch that last drive and all that holding right in front of the referees? You didn't see the guy take his helmet off in the end zone and the guy told him to put it back on. You didn't see a defensive coordinator calling a timeout, so you're just going to say I sound like that and you're not. I want you to address all of those rather than just. Just doing the usual, you got your tin foil hat on. Geez, somebody's getting into their feelings. That's what people say when they can't refute what you're saying. You yourself said you don't watch much football anymore and you just watch the. I was at the Super Bowl. I was at the Super Bowl. I don't know what to tell you, sir, for the most part. So you're forming your opinion based off of the national media painting a picture for you? No, I'm not. I told you, I was watching the game last week. I was so sick to my stomach, I had to turn it off. I had to turn it off. With the amount of times the officials just bail him out. Did you listen to the beginning of this podcast where I was begging the NFL to let the Bills and Chiefs just play the game without them interfering?
- [35:03]
Paul Virzi
All right, this is all bullshit.
- [35:05]
Bill Burr
You yourself, as a Patriot fan, I'm sure you're scared of Mahomes and the Chiefs catching up to your records. I'm not. I don't care. So all you're doing is you just. You just. You're like cnn. You're forming your opinions. You. You're just a scared Patriots fans dude. You have not brought up one example of what everybody is talking about and defending. Like, are you going to tell me they weren't holding Bosa. That guy didn't take his helmet off. The guy didn't call. Fucking timeout. Mahomes isn't flopping out about. You're going to tell me that you're not refuting any of that? You just. You just. This is. You're debunking it. Just making shit up. This is what we're doing now to the actual numbers because math don't lie. That's not true. That isn't true. Math doesn't lie. You can listen to two politicians talk about the same thing. They can pull out numbers that support their arguments on the same issues and the numbers will tell you the exact opposite thing. I don't give a fuck. You find the shittiest college out there and they'll somehow work the numbers where they're somehow number one in something. And that's why you should go to the school. It doesn't have an Opinion, it's just right or wrong. Oh, and let me aggress, the way that you're doing these numbers agrees with you. In 17 regular season games, the Chiefs has been penalized 94 times for 829 yards, for an average of five and a half penalties, for 49.7 yards per game, while the teams they have averaged have played against repellent. Okay, you pick some numbers that are going to support your argument. All right? I watched. I watched Trey Wingo pull out some numbers going, like in crucial situations in a football game. Okay? He started that vague. He goes. When it came down to it, he goes, Tom Brady was 46%. And all he said was the percentage. He didn't say the numbers. Like 46%. Out of what? How many times? Out of how many times? Then he goes to Drew Brees. Drew Brees was 50%. He was three out of six. And he ignores Tom Brady's because Tom Brady's numbers are all through the fucking roof. The guy went to the AFC championship like 58 fucking times. Anybody can bat.500 in baseball. If you're looking at 20 at bats, you got to go 10 out of 20. If you're hot, you can do it. Do it for a whole fucking season. So Trey Wingo, like, moves these numbers around and then of course, he lands on Patrick Mahomes. Like, Patrick Mahomes is seven for fucking seven. And it's like seven for seven. He lost the Super Bowl. So you're deciding how this fucking got. Like, what is the important thing? Like, this is. What I don't like about your number, sir, is your mind is already made up before you give these numbers. While you're accusing me of doing the same thing, you're going to do it to me and be like, see, the numbers don't fucking lie. Guess what, buddy? The film doesn't lie. So fuck you. Now I'm not reading this shit. Fuck you. I get it. You like. You like fucking Patrick Mahomes. I like it. Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. He was immediately, immediately sold to me as you. This is gonna be the greatest fucking quarterback you've ever fucking seen. And I gotta be honest with you. I've been watching football for 50 years. He's not the greatest quarterback I've ever seen. He's the most successful. And 28 by being the age of 28, I'll give him that. But it's not the same fucking game. It's not the same fucking game, okay? The game I was watching, you could beat the, out of the quarterback. And you couldn't, the, the, the, the, the owners weren't involved in gambling in Las Vegas. It's changed a little bit. Baseball has changed a little bit. You couldn't be roided out of your mind for 10 years. Right. You gotta eat coffee beans and have a sarsaparilla. It's, it's, Everything has changed. Listen, can we just agree to disagree? Okay? Can we just, can we just fucking agree to disagree? I don't want to fucking sit here and go through all of these out of respect for you. I will, I will just, I will continue reading this. So the math shows that it isn't bad at all. And you're, you are falling for the national media trap, hence the CNN Fox News. Oh, I thought I was watching it. I thought I was watching the games. Evidently, I'm not watching the games. And evidently I'm watching just people on Instagram and I'm going, oh, that's what it is. Yeah. Okay. All right. I don't do the BET MGM podcast with Paul Versi and bet four games a week. Yeah, I don't, I don't watch it all. Yeah, okay, I'll go with that. All right. Also, Mahome has six roughing the passer calls against this year to Jalen. 5. Terrible stat, terrible stat. When your offensive line is allowed to hold, how the are you gonna hurt the guy to begin with?
- [40:38]
Paul Virzi
I, I, this is pretty okay.
- [40:39]
Bill Burr
The Chiefs have the most offensive holding calls against them this season as well. You'll see. You see what I'm saying now? No, I don't see what you're saying. I don't see what you're saying. How come you're ignoring the fact that they've always been penalized for fucking being held except during the playoffs when it really counts? Haven't you seen that stat? Are you going to look at those numbers? Are you just going to ignore that? I don't know. As far as the Taylor Swift stuff, it can be annoying at times, but it's not as bad as you and the other make it out to be. Yes. According to you, most NFL game broadcasts at three hours and three minutes and 15 or so. She might have a total of three to four minutes a game. So please just stop complaining about this. Watch the game when you can. Inform your own opinion. Oh, my God, this guy's reprimanding me. I'm a big fan of you, so don't go too hard on me. Lol. Looking forward to seeing you soon, buddy. Buddy. I'm watching the fucking game, okay? And I've always bitched about things that I don't like in the game. I've been right sometimes, I've been wrong other times. Just because you don't share, like, nothing. You didn't prove anything in this other than the fact that you have the opposite point of view and you pick some numbers that support your point of view, but you're completely ignoring. I've never seen a defensive coordinator call fucking timeout and they give it to him. All right, whatever. What am I going to convince you? Okay, you know what, dude? Yeah, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. The NFL is actually a sports league. And even though they call themselves an entertainment league, the fact that they're involved in gambling now, that's not going to affect things whatsoever. Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. It's not weird at all that after Peyton Manning and Tom Brady retire, all of a sudden this new team just immediately, immediately, immediately. And it was the exact same blueprint as their business beforehand. The same way the NBA, you know, oh my God, the Celtics and Lakers and Jordan is over. And then immediately we're into the pile on era of teams to just artificially create what naturally fucking happened. Evidently, the way I'm looking, that is wrong. And in the 2000s, when I was saying that these fucking games are rigged and they're shaving points, everybody said I was, you know, put on your whatever, your tinfoil hat. And then a fucking guy got busted for doing it. And then they said it was just him, which was bullshit.
- [43:07]
Paul Virzi
It wasn't just him.
- [43:08]
Bill Burr
It was a bunch of people.
- [43:09]
Paul Virzi
He was the Oswald guy. All right, I know, I know I sound fucking crazy.
- [43:13]
Bill Burr
Okay, you know what? These, these leagues are on the up and up. Haven't you seen, like former NFL players? Former NFL players are saying what the fuck? Troy Aikman said what the fuck?
- [43:24]
Paul Virzi
In the booth during a broadcast.
- [43:28]
Bill Burr
That pass interference where he barely touched the small of his back. Oh, you know, you put your hand. They're going to get you for that. What the fuck? All right, great. Well, you, you, you crunch some fucking numbers. And I still, I still do not agree with you issues with comedy in Greece. I had a great time in Greece. Hello, Bill. Hello, Billy.
- [43:51]
Paul Virzi
What are you doing?
- [43:52]
Bill Burr
I hope you're well. My name is Jim and I'm a listener, listener of your podcast. I'd like to share some factual information about a recent comedy related development in Greece and ask for your opinion on it. By the way, I also love how the Chiefs fan only went withholding the non Chiefs Dolphins fan. Like that's the only stat out of all the penalties that are out there. Illegal motion, pass interference, roughing the pat, all of this shit. You pick one or two to support your argument and then you just gonna say it's debunked because you said it was all right. I guess it's debunked. I hope you're well My name is Jim and I'm a listener of your podcast. I'd like to share some factual information about a recent comedy related development in Greece and ask for your opinion on a show called I can't.
- [44:36]
Paul Virzi
I don't know how to say it.
- [44:37]
Bill Burr
Pest Samada, inspired by the British panel game Would I Lie to you? Was scheduled for multiple performances at a theater in Athens. Initially, its first four announced dates featured 17 male comedians and no women. An official poster was released with only one male name listed. After the poster went public, several people on social media raised concerns about the absence of female comedians. In response, nine female stand up comedians in Greece issued a collective statement saying no woman had received a specific invitation before the show was announced. They noted that the situation reflects broader issues of access and representation in comedy. Subsequently, four male comedians scheduled to appear withdrew, stating various reasons such as lack of information about the lineup or discomfort with how the show was organized. Additional participants also pulled out, including some who were slated to join later dates. The organizers posted an apology, citing poor planning. They offered refunds to anyone who had purchased tickets and announced that they that any performer could drop out if they chose. Eventually, the entire show was cancelled. Many discussions fall about how an all male lineup came about and why no adjustments were made Earlier. Some pointed out that later performances would have included women, though the initial announcement did not. I'm reaching out because I value the way you analyze and break down scenarios on your podcast. I'd be interested to hear any thoughts you might have on how such a situation can occur and what approaches comedians, producers or audiences might take when something like this happens. Thanks. Thank you for taking the time to read the message. I appreciate your candid perspective and look.
- [46:34]
Paul Virzi
Forward to any comment you might want.
- [46:36]
Bill Burr
To add to share to the podcast.
- [46:37]
Paul Virzi
Best regard.
- [46:42]
Bill Burr
I don't know. Like sometimes those things happen because of the reasons people think they're happening. Like there's racism, sexism, homophobia, blah blah blah blah blah nepotism and all that. And other times they just happen because the people involved like only interact with the people they hire. Like if you get a bunch of men to fucking run Something there's going to be a bunch of men being hired for something like that. Unless it's a titty blah. Sorry. And then I feel like, like if you had a bunch of women running that, if it was only women running that, it would, it would reflect that. But it wouldn't. But it wouldn't just be all women.
- [47:25]
Paul Virzi
I don't think it would be that.
- [47:26]
Bill Burr
So I don't know. It sucks that it got canceled. And it also sucks that, that people running shit. There's a fine line between listening to what people are saying and then just completely caving and losing the integrity of what you're doing. So that's, that's sort of the balance. Like, obviously, you know, if you're putting something together, you want to, you know, try to include everybody. But it all depends on what the.
- [47:55]
Paul Virzi
Fuck you're doing, right?
- [47:59]
Bill Burr
What it's going to look like. But you should do that. But I don't understand. It seems like by, in the end, the people that were doing it were like, I don't think there's any fucking way we're going to make everybody happy. Just fuck this. Let's just do something else or start over somewhere else. But like, I don't know where you guys are at socially over there.
- [48:19]
Paul Virzi
I mean, you are Greece.
- [48:20]
Bill Burr
Isn't that where democracy started? So I'm a little surprised that you know what, I'm not surprised.
- [48:28]
Paul Virzi
I had literally no opinion of it. I had no idea how shit was running over there. So.
- [48:35]
Bill Burr
I don't know. I will say it's a hard fucking thing.
- [48:37]
Paul Virzi
I don't know.
- [48:38]
Bill Burr
It's a difficult thing because like, when it comes to writing, they always say, write what you know. So then you write what you know and then it looks like you. So then as a white guy, it's like, what's this fucking white guy shit? It's like, I'm a white guy, I write white guy shit. I don't, I don't want the fuck to tell you what if I were my supposed to write non white guy shit, then I go, who the fuck are you to speak for the fucking da da da, Right? You know, then you get that. So the reality is though, none of this shit would be happening if the world was fair.
- [49:08]
Paul Virzi
But it isn't.
- [49:09]
Bill Burr
And it's never going to be fair. If you just had women run it, that's what it would look like. It would look like their bullshit. And then, you know, I mean, Jesus Christ, look how women run a fucking relationship. Look, look what? Look how. Look at the power dynamic the average married man has, and women consider that fair, so they're not fair people either, so. But, like, outside the house, like, for the most part, men are running shit, so I guess you have to be more aware.
- [49:41]
Paul Virzi
Of that stuff. I mean, it's kind of vague. I don't know what the comedy thing was, but it just.
- [49:46]
Bill Burr
I just think in the end it sucks that they didn't. It.
- [49:48]
Paul Virzi
The whole thing fucking went away. It's actually kind of funny, too.
- [49:54]
Bill Burr
So. I don't know. My opinion on all of that stuff is. I always, like. I never tell performers what to do.
- [50:03]
Paul Virzi
It's just. I always.
- [50:04]
Bill Burr
The only thing I tell them what to do is just go do what.
- [50:05]
Paul Virzi
You want to do and don't listen.
- [50:10]
Bill Burr
To people, you know? You know, I don't know about that joke. I don't know about this. Like, dude, if you think it's funny, go out and do it.
- [50:16]
Paul Virzi
Then you fucking decide, okay.
- [50:19]
Bill Burr
It's one thing if you're going around.
- [50:21]
Paul Virzi
Hey, man, what do you think about this?
- [50:22]
Bill Burr
You're asking. But people. People come up to you with unsolicited shit. You know, it's. You really got to have a filter. Like, where is this coming from? Are they really trying to help me? Or are they, you know, are they hardcore about some issue so they can't even step back and see that I'm not doing anything against their cause? Or are they envious and jealous and they're trying to fuck up? What it is that I'm doing? I don't know. So there is that element of it. And then I think you as a performer, I think. I know you got to try to, like.
- [50:57]
Paul Virzi
Like, empathy is a great thing in general to try to figure stuff out. Like, say, like, whenever there's, like, a joke that I'm doing that I feel is, like, outside me, right?
- [51:10]
Bill Burr
Just go to the. Whoever it's about, I just go to.
- [51:12]
Paul Virzi
Them and say what I'm doing. Like, what do you think about this?
- [51:15]
Bill Burr
How do you think about, like, take, like old dads. Like that scene in the car with the. The rap scene where Bo Keen, you know. You know, that. That. That whole fucking scene, like, that went through a number of different versions. And my first version, you know, all my black friends are like, I don't know about that, Ver. I mean, I see what you're trying to do. I. You know, and then I got some be like, yeah, I think that's funny. But then there was too many people being like, you know, I don't know. So I Was like, I don't think I'm there. So I just kept rewriting, listening and then rewriting, rewriting until we got it where it needed to be and then how it ended up being. It ended up fucking working. But then I think of my first draft of it and I cringe, going like, oh, wow. Like, that was totally not going to.
- [51:58]
Paul Virzi
Come off the way that I wanted it to.
- [52:00]
Bill Burr
So I would say there's a way to kind of apply that to.
- [52:10]
Paul Virzi
To a. I guess, booking a show or whatever. I mean, I've always been like. I mean, I grew up during the era, the tail end of variety shows.
- [52:18]
Bill Burr
They were still all white. But what it did have was it wasn't just an all comedy, all music. It was like music, dancing, comedy. You know, it was sketches. There was all of this different shit.
- [52:33]
Paul Virzi
Was in there, juggling.
- [52:36]
Bill Burr
So maybe. Maybe there's that, but I don't know. I don't have enough information on this type of thing, but I can't tell you that. You know, one of the best things you can do is if you're somehow.
- [52:51]
Paul Virzi
Established in a business, is to listen and to help out younger people that are in your business and not to go the other way, to try to hold people fucking down. As you know, I got here, and.
- [53:05]
Bill Burr
I'm gonna fucking stay here by standing on everybody's heads.
- [53:08]
Paul Virzi
Like, it just doesn't work.
- [53:09]
Bill Burr
And then what happens is, because you're.
- [53:11]
Paul Virzi
Just gonna get old and no one's gonna give a fuck about what you say, right?
- [53:15]
Bill Burr
And then, you know, and then you were a dick to all of these younger people, and they could have put you in something. You know, you could have played the. The uncle or the grandfather in their fucking project because you were cool. They. They could have been like, you know what? You fucking. When no one knew who I was, you gave me some advice. You helped me out, you threw me a gig or whatever. And now you're an old. I'm gonna hook you up and get your reoccurring on this. I mean, that's how you. I don't know. That's how you. I feel like you keep your career going is, you know, you.
- [53:49]
Paul Virzi
You just.
- [53:50]
Bill Burr
Just be nice to people and listen to them. And if you're a fucking asshole, be.
- [53:55]
Paul Virzi
Like, all right, I'm sorry. I was a fucking asshole.
- [53:57]
Bill Burr
God knows I've done that, you know, and try to clear up my mistakes.
- [54:01]
Paul Virzi
But I am human.
- [54:01]
Bill Burr
I do up whatever. But, like, I think it's really important.
- [54:07]
Paul Virzi
Without going on and on here, that.
- [54:10]
Bill Burr
Like, whoever's booking that show to kind of learn something and maybe just, like, adjusted. Okay, we're gonna try to try it again this way. But, like, But I don't think that you. But my problem is with a lot.
- [54:18]
Paul Virzi
Of people that aren't, like, performers, but then they just start doing, like, bean counting thing. Like, we need a person of color. We need a gay person. Da, da, da.
- [54:29]
Bill Burr
And they don't do work. It's like, no, you need talent across the board. Don't just go, oh, you're. You gay, all right, you're in it. Yeah. You're not white. All right, You're. Go out, you do the work and find the person that is the shit. Who happens to be gay or whatever. Whatever it is you're trying to get in there. So you're not just doing a, you know, in all. Whatever show you are. I don't know.
- [54:55]
Paul Virzi
It's. It's.
- [54:56]
Bill Burr
It's a. It's a. You know, there's no easy answer. Sorry.
- [55:01]
Paul Virzi
I did my best there.
- [55:02]
Bill Burr
I did.
- [55:03]
Paul Virzi
I did my best, man.
- [55:04]
Bill Burr
Just fucking cut me some play.
- [55:06]
Paul Virzi
All right? Japanese bicycles.
- [55:08]
Bill Burr
Hey there, Billy Bagger, bro. Love that you've been riding and hearing about your experiences, especially with some of the best roads and scenery in the nation outside your front door. How could you not be having a good time?
- [55:21]
Paul Virzi

I've been riding my whole life and have a small side business repairing only.
- [55:28]
Paul Virzi
Vintage motorcycles in Seattle.
- [55:30]
Bill Burr
Wow. Just wanted to give you my two cents and hope to encourage you to buy a vintage bike. You're absolutely right to be in love.
- [55:37]
Paul Virzi
With vintage Japanese motorcycles.
- [55:40]
Bill Burr
I own Love and Repair, all makes and models as long as it's old.
- [55:44]
Paul Virzi
So I'm not biased.
- [55:46]
Bill Burr
I'll keep it short. But if you do buy an old Japanese motorcycle, I'd like to give you three. I got to give you my three top picks.
- [55:55]
Paul Virzi
I will be googling all of these.
- [55:57]
Bill Burr
See, here we go. The podcast is fun again. I'll shut up about the fires in.
- [56:02]
Paul Virzi
Kansas City and fucking Taylor Swift.
- [56:05]
Bill Burr
Sorry, I. You know, I'm like anybody. I can fucking go on and on. Don't fucking act like your wife or.
- [56:10]
Paul Virzi
Girlfriend goes, oh, my God, if you.
- [56:11]
Bill Burr
Bring that up one more time, I'm fucking leaving you. All right? And then I did that thing where I'm being a douche, and now I'm saying, you've been a douche too, right? Let me own it. I've been an. Sorry. I'm gonna.
- [56:22]
Paul Virzi
I'm gonna do better.
- [56:23]
Bill Burr
All right. A 69 to 78 Honda CB750. This is the bike that changed the game for all bikes. Perfect for all for around town, but plenty of legs for a freeway cruise. All right, so that was basically the.
- [56:40]
Paul Virzi
First super bike that got it going. I think that's the one because I.
- [56:45]
Bill Burr
Remember I've done a little bit of.
- [56:47]
Paul Virzi
I've gone down a little bit of a rabbit hole.
- [56:49]
Bill Burr
73 to 75 Yamaha Rd 350.
- [56:53]
Paul Virzi
How do you remember, by the way, the names of these bikes? It's like fucking memorizing barcodes.
- [56:58]
Bill Burr
Like who can't remember Like a fucking, you know, a Mercury Monarch fucking RD 35350. This is a two stroke ripper that was race developed. All of these motorcycle guys love the fucking two stroke, which is basically the spark plug.
- [57:16]
Paul Virzi
Fires every.
- [57:17]
Bill Burr
Like the piston goes down, comes back up, fires down. Every time the piston comes back up, it fires. As opposed to a four stroke which.
- [57:24]
Paul Virzi
I guess burns cleaner for the environment.
- [57:27]
Bill Burr
So it fires, piston goes down one back up two down three back up, four fires again.
- [57:34]
Paul Virzi
I believe that that's what it is.
- [57:35]
Bill Burr
And a true stroke is just bang.
- [57:38]
Paul Virzi
Up down, bang, bang, bang, bang.
- [57:41]
Bill Burr
Like hammering a fucking nail in.
- [57:43]
Paul Virzi
And obviously I would think that they, they have way more torque because of that. This is a two stroke ripper that was race developed. Yeah, that would obviously make. Because you're not losing horsepower during that rep. When it comes up and it doesn't fire back down to turn the crankshaft there.
- [58:02]
Bill Burr
This is a two stroke ripper that was race developed RD.
- [58:06]
Paul Virzi
That's why it's the RD350.
- [58:08]
Bill Burr
It is awesome for twisties in the back roads, but tame enough to get around traffic.
- [58:14]
Paul Virzi
Dude, hats off to the fucking. The engineers over there in Japan like.
- [58:19]
Bill Burr
They, you got it.
- [58:22]
Paul Virzi
You got to give it up to them.
- [58:23]
Bill Burr
Like you can't kill a Toyota 70 to 79 Yamaha XS XS650. The bike is legendary, torquey, the best exhaust note, freeway and backyard fun and gorgeous. Just a thought. I'd hopefully give you some encouragement and maybe point you at some great choices. But old buy old shit and go yourself.
- [58:48]
Paul Virzi
That's awesome.
- [58:49]
Bill Burr
By the way, anybody in Japan listening to this? It's been a bucket list for a.
- [58:53]
Paul Virzi
Long time to go over there.
- [58:56]
Bill Burr
So here's my question. I would like to, after I get done with this play and I got.
- [59:00]
Paul Virzi
A hopefully, you know, we sold this script, hopefully we shoot this movie. I would like to go to Japan in 2026. I'd like to go there when the weather is nice and I would like.
- [59:12]
Bill Burr
To know where to go, where all.
- [59:14]
Paul Virzi
Of those young kids that are into, like the vintage motorcycles, Japanese motorcycles, where they're going to be riding or if there's a show that I could book the trip around. And if. And I also know that you. That in Japan, the coffee is like an apps. Like Italy and Japan is. Everybody that drinks coffee says, like, that's the best coffee in the world. So I'm going to Italy next in July. I'm taking a little summer vacation there with the family. Am I going to do a gig there, chief?
- [59:51]
Bill Burr
I don't know. Possibly. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I would like to go to Japan.
- [60:00]
Paul Virzi
And obviously have your amazing food, coffee. And then I would love to see some of those motorcycles. If there's like, I don't know, sometimes they have like those motorcycle clubs you can actually go in. It's a combination bar, restaurant, or whatever. I don't know what you're doing over there, but, like, I would love. I would love to go see that. That would be incredible.
- [60:25]
Bill Burr
Just throwing it out there. You guys have any information?
- [60:28]
Paul Virzi
Write in.
- [60:30]
Bill Burr
All right. French music recommendations. Dilly Dear Billy. Croissant tits. If you've never heard of the French band called Air, I have not. You need to pleasure your ear holes asap. Specifically their debut album, Moon Safari. They've been putting out great music since the 90s and have a solid cult following, but many Americans just haven't heard of them. Dude, I. There's nothing more than I. When I love you. You guys.
- [61:02]
Paul Virzi
You recommend this stuff I've never heard of.
- [61:04]
Bill Burr
They got simple bass and drum grooves and an overall chill slash loungey, sci fi, bossa nova vibe going on. Sign me up. Sadly, they don't tour very often. God bless them. Good for them. Very. Why would you. You live in the French countryside. Fucking great food and conversation. I wouldn't want to go on the road either. They don't tour very often, but are incredible live. The band gives each other lots of space to breathe. The music is perfect for a Sunday drive or mushroom slash Molly experience. Cheers from New Hampshire. And go Pats. All right, I got to check them out. And with that, I got to. I got to.
- [61:48]
Paul Virzi
Let's see what. Let's see what old freckles has been listening to lately.
- [61:52]
Bill Burr
All right, so a friend of mine.
- [61:54]
Paul Virzi
My drum teacher Dave Elish, told me to download this album.
- [62:00]
Bill Burr
Miles Gurtu.
- [62:01]
Paul Virzi
It's Trilog, one of the most amazing drummers in the world. And Robert Miles. What is this album called? Oh, it's called Miles Gertrude Robert Miles and Trilog Gertu. Incredible, incredible music. I downloaded Usher's new album. It's amazing. Somebody sent this to me, that song Ruin. And I, you know, I watched the video. He went all out. I like that he's going all out. Like, MTV still plays videos. I love musicians that still make fucking killer videos. Then. I've been listening to that. I don't know how to say the name. Kurang Bin K H R U A N G B I N I was listening to a bunch of soft rock and then Phil Collins. The sweet spot between the Genesis, Prague stuff and before Sisudio.
- [62:59]
Bill Burr
Don't care Anymore.
- [63:00]
Paul Virzi
In the Air tonight, all of that.
- [63:02]
Bill Burr
Type of.
- [63:06]
Paul Virzi
Jungle Brothers. Straight out of the jungle was Pablo Cruz. Deep Purple downloaded this album, Burn, which is insane. Tony Williams, Native Heart. Oh, and then this guy, Lattimore. It ain't where you been? 1977, Herbie Hancock, a soundtrack Blow up. Luther Vandross. I had no idea, like, this fucking guy, how great a singer that guy was.
- [63:47]
Bill Burr
I always heard he was a great singer.
- [63:48]
Paul Virzi
I couldn't get into it because I was listening to metal.
- [63:50]
Bill Burr
I've been listening to a bunch of.
- [63:52]
Paul Virzi
Like that and been having like a. A great time with it and listen to a lot of, I don't know, a lot of, like, soundtracks to movies, like 80s synth and that type of, you know. So I. I like. I don't know, some of that stuff. Like, I. I just like, took it for granted because I kind of came up during that time and like, I haven't listened to it in a long time. And then I go back and listen to it, I'm like, this stuff is.
- [64:19]
Bill Burr
Like.
- [64:19]
Paul Virzi
It sounded really cheesy and thin to me, like when it was happening. And now I go back, it's like, no, that decade really had, like, its own sound. And now that I haven't listened to it in decades, and I'm coming back revisiting, I was like, this shit's actually really good.
- [64:34]
Bill Burr
So anyway, that is the podcast. I went a little bit long. All right, here we go. Not talking about the fires anymore. I'm not talking about KC anymore, the Taylor Swift, all of that shit. And that's it. We'll just talk motorcycles, fucking music and whatever. I'll be in New York this time.
- [64:54]
Paul Virzi
Next week, and I don't know, I'll be getting ready to do.
- [64:59]
Bill Burr
It'll be a different thing.
- [65:00]
Paul Virzi
But I'm gonna be in the clubs a lot, you know, when I can, making sure I keep my act tight. Because when I. I'M done with this run I gotta do. I gotta. I gotta do Abu Dhabi. And then, I don't know, I'll be in Italy. So who knows? Maybe I'll do a show. I don't know. Could be awesome.
- [65:20]
Bill Burr
All right.
- [65:20]
Paul Virzi
That's it. All right.
- [65:21]
Bill Burr
If I've been pissing you off about.
- [65:22]
Paul Virzi
That shit, I'm sorry. You know, whatever.
- [65:23]
Bill Burr
I get lost in my shit, too. All right? Sorry. And go fuck yourselves. See you on Thursday.
