Bill Burr (39:51)
I got my buddy, he'll come down, he'll return the fucking thing, blah, blah, blah, no problem. So now we're sweating it, right? But turns out the pilots and shit are also waiting for a car, and we were on their flight or whatever somehow, so I can't remember. It's all fucking foggy. So we end up getting there, we make the flight back, laughing our asses off. Hey, we did it. You know, what a good shit. That guy returns the fucking car. What an awesome guy, right? And I, I pass out on the plane and I wake up in LA like nothing ever happened. So I fucking. Maybe like three weeks later, I get this phone call from the rental company and they were like, yeah, Mr. Burr, are you ever gonna return that rental car? I told this story wrong. I shouldn't told you that. I left it to the hotel guy. I had completely forgot. I didn't even. That's how drunk I was. I don't even remember that part where I said that I was gonna fucking. That I told the guy at the hotel and I was like, yeah, return it. Returned like three weeks ago. And at this point, I've done like three more road gigs, so I don't even remember it. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I did. How did you get my number? You keep my number. I was all about me. So they start badgering me in my fucking world, and I'm just like, you know, like the fourth or fifth phone call, I was like, listen, stop calling me. I returned the rental car. Stop calling me on my cell phone. I'm at work and blah, blah, blah. Then just one time, I don't know what happened, like the sixth time they called me, something just clicked. I was like, wait a minute, was that that gig where I was hammered and there were clouds on the ground and I. The guy behind the counter said he was gonna. Or some people called fog, we're gonna fucking return the rental car. Oh, fuck. So I had to call after yelling at these people, I had to call them up, be like, yeah, listen, I'm the guy you called like six times ago. I got really drunk and try to drive, but I couldn't. The guy at the hotel said he was gonna bring it back. I don't think he did. They ended up fucking going down to. The car was still sitting there. I had to pay a month's rental on that thing. I can't even fucking tell you how much money that cost me. But whatever. That's not the big news. The big news as announced by Barstool Sports. Remember I was telling you rough and rowdy was going to be a juggernaut and I would just blah, blah, blah that and I thought it was just the greatest friggin idea ever. It's literally, it's like American Idol meets the ufc. All those people that think they can fucking sing and want to prove it and then look what happens. Some of them come out of there and they win Grammys. So who knows, maybe one of these people, when there's rough and rowdy thing, could actually someday get in the UFC house, right? And then, then next thing you know, fucking he's on one of those pay per views. But until then, they're at the Barstool Sports Rough and Rowdy number tree twa. And I'm actually going to be ringside throwing in some jokes. You guys got to get this, man, you have to get this fucking pay per view. I'm telling you, I'm going to be making fun of people. I'm going to be making fun of myself. It's, it's $15.99 to watch regular people beat the shit out of each other. You know what I mean? It's the greatest thing, greatest thing of all time. This is like, there's certain things you just see Coming. You're like, this is going to be fucking huge. I. The second I saw this, it's like, I'm going to watch every one of these things, and I don't know, I was just talking positively about it, and then Barstool reached out to me with an email, and they're like, you want to do this? I was just like, yeah. Fuck, yeah. Absolutely. So I'm gonna be there, so tune in. Let me see if I can get you the date here. I'm so fucking excited about this. I can't even tell you when the hell is it going to be. I'm the worst. Does anybody promote shit worse than me? I know that it's going to be in Charlotte, North Carolina. April 13th. It's going to be April 13th. Charlotte, North Carolina, former hometown of the Nature Boy, Ric Flair. I mean, everything's just. This is serendipity. It's all fucking lining up. I can't wait. So please, you and your friends, order the goddamn fight. Get yourself some beers, and who knows, maybe you watch, you get inspired, and the next time you'll be on it. That's just that easy. You ever want to be on tv, try to knock somebody out, finally, there's a vehicle for you. So, anyways, why are you so late today, Bill? Well, I had a busy day. I flew back from Toronto after two awesome shows in Kitchener. They're definitely. They're on the tour list now. They have such awesome people there, a great venue, and so I flew back late at night because I wanted to be, you know, get home late at night. So when my daughter woke up the next day, I was gonna be there. You know what I mean? Because of what I do, you know, I miss some days sometimes, you know? So, like, literally, the UPS guy comes walking up the walk, and she's pointing, going, dad, da, da, da. Like, I can't handle that. I have too much fucking guilt over it, all right? However, I do have to provide for my family. So anyways, I. I hung with my daughter in the morning, and then I had this meeting from 10 to 12, and then when I came back, my wife told me that she was going to take our daughter to go see the Easter Bunny. And I was like, well, I don't want to miss that. So I went over there, and, you know, last year she was fine because she was only, like, you know, four or five months old. And this year she's like, you know, coming up on a year and a half or whatever. And, you know, I just felt this vibe. I was Just, she was looking at the person in this outfit, and I'm just looking at it like, I don't know about this one, right? So we're trying to be like, hey. And the bunny's waving at her, and. And I went up and I'm shaking the rabbit's hand and stuff, like, see, it's safe. It's not cutting my head off. And she's just looking at the rabbit like, I don't know about this, man. She's like that dude in Platoon. I got a bad feel about this, man. So we bring her up there, and immediately, like, I go to kind of hand her to the. To the dude in the bunny suit, and I just feel her just grab 2 handfuls of my T shirt. I'm like, oh, no. And then I was like. She started screaming, and then I handed it to my wife. My wife ended up having to sit down with her with the rabbit. She's totally crying, totally freaked out and all that. And the whole time I'm just sitting there going, why do we do this to kids? Why am I doing this? And freaking this kid out with a fucking person in a goddamn bunny suit. It makes no sense to the kid. And at the end. At the end of all of this horseshit, it's a fucking lie. The whole thing is a fucking lie. And then one day you got to turn around and tell your kid it's not real, and it's just this selfish adult thing because you love your kids so much, you wanted to see them get excited, you know, and you grew up and you saw how mean and cold hearted the world is. You just want to see them fucking believe in something. And then just early on, you just break their trust by telling them that there's these fucking people that come by. Some of them are animals, and, I mean, some of them are fairies and all of this shit. But then what do you do? Do you tell your kid that they don't exist and then they go to school to come to school like some grizzled vet? Yeah. Let me tell you, some kids, it's all right. Just telling all these kids that the bunny doesn't exist and Santa Claus doesn't exist, and then everybody's getting mad at your kid. It's a great life lesson, actually, for your kid. That's what happens when you tell the truth. Oh, he's on his stump right now. Yeah. If you ever want to get yelled at that. There you go. Send your kid to school with the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and you just Say to your kid, just say, listen. And everybody talks about reading to your kid, trying to give him a head start and all that. Why don't you give him a head start and not tell him about all of that? One of my relatives did that with one of my nephews, you know, and the kid grew up fine. They just sat up down like, yeah, listen, it's all, you know, I remember when I found out, my older brother told me, and he felt betrayed. And when he told me, I felt like an adult. I was like, no way. Is that what, you know, thanks for the heads up. Then I sat there and kept my mouth shut like an old school mobster. I never told my. My other brother. Never said, I just sat there, oh, yeah, he's coming right down that chimney. Then I sit there laughing, listen to my younger brothers telling me stories. I saw a slay go right off the roof. Oh, did you? You lying piece of. You know, it let me know. Let me know who they really were. I. I learned who I could trust in my family, having that inside information. I think that's why they're trying to get that Alexa in everybody's house, so then they can tell, you know, who they can trust and who they can't trust. And not really for a good reason either. You know, they're as corrupt as I am, except they're running. I have no idea what I'm talking about right now. I lied to you guys earlier. I didn't have a meeting from 10 to 12. What I did was I went out and I flew out to Camarillo and then down the coast along Malibu on one of the most perfect days ever, while the whales are migrating. Okay, I should have literally had like yoga, yoga music playing in my headset. It was, it was unbelievable. It's unbelievable. So, I don't know, whatever, sorry. Okay, you got me. I apologize. We were supposed to take our kid. I'm gonna be totally honest with you guys. And I was supposed to take the kid to see the Easter Bunny tomorrow, and then my wife's schedule flip flopped around and it was more convenient for her to go today. It was more convenient for us to go tomorrow, but it's more convenient for her to go today. So what do you think happened? You know what happened. Goddammit, you know exactly what happened. Oh, I went to a Toronto Raptors game, by the way, on the Sunday, and I went to that OKC game. The game was like fucking 132 to 126, something crazy like that was almost like an All Star Game score. And we had great seats and all of that stuff. It just was fucking awesome. Great fan base, too. Jesus Christ. I knew you guys loved the Leafs, but obviously Toronto's doing great this year. But it's a really fun game to watch. And that knocked off. Now, I've seen every professional Canadian team a home game in them, except for the goddamn fucking Ottawa Senators. And every time I schedule something to go see one of their games, something comes up and I can't make it. All right. First time, unfortunately, one of my great friends in life passed away, and I had to go to the funeral and all that, so that's understandable. All right. And the second time, it was just like, all right, I'm flying in two days early. I'm a dad now. I'm going to miss 48 hours with my daughter to go to a fucking Ottawa Senators game. I couldn't justify it, so I canceled that. So it really has nothing to do with Ottawa or their franchise or any of that type of shit, but I believe that they're actually making a new. New arena. Isn't that unbelievable? It's like, what is wrong with the other one? The other one is totally fine. That's like the Atlanta Braves moving out of their totally perfectly fine baseball stadium. The Atlanta Falcons moving out of their totally perfectly fine fucking dome. Like, what are we doing? And then they take. What do they do with all of that material? And once they not. Someone should make a fucking documentary on that. When they knock down a stadium, that works fine, all right, but the owners are like, if you don't do it, I'm gonna move the team. Fucking move them, you fat. I'm sick of seeing cities being held hostage by these fucking crybaby owners, especially the fucking NFL. Those fucking assholes. Such a great game. Such a crew of cunts, though. That runs it. How much more money do those assholes need to me need to make before they'll pony up for a stad, you
