Bill Burr
Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, January 12, 2026. What's going on? How are ya? How's it going? Oh, Jesus. I am on pins and motherfucking needles. Pins and needles. I am waiting for this Patriots game to start. Now here's the thing. I'm gonna do, like, 45 minutes of this podcast. 50 minutes of this podcast. I'm gonna do most of the podcast is what I'm trying to say, but I'm saving the last 10 till after the. You know, because there's not enough people out there, given, you know, their take on a playoff game after it happens. I don't think there's enough. I need at least seven men and two women in suits and blouses and some sort of winter wear sitting in on the sidelines, letting me know what they think the keys to the game are. What are the keys? The game? Well, I got to tell, you know, the trenches. You know, whoever wins that battle, I mean, you know, I've said it before. I'll say it again. If a quarterback doesn't have time to throw the ball, then what are we. What are we passing for? And if we're not passing, they know we're running. They're just going to stack the line. Why wouldn't they? They're winning in the trenches, then they go to the next person. You know, I just think, you know, they're secondary, you know, with the COVID two, the COVID zero, they cover me. You know, they just. They do it better than anybody else in the league. Here's a stat that you're never going to fucking ever see again. Did you guys see this thing? The fucking New York Jets. You put some respect on their name. The goddamn motherfucking New York jets had zero interceptions this year. That. It's. It's never happened. Not when they played 17 games, 16 games in a season, 14 games in a season. 12, 10, when Crazy Leg Johnson was running around with. With the pig skin. They probably slaughtered a pig right before the game to make the football. It didn't even happen then. Red Grange, all of these guys, Bulldog, Elliott, they always have like. Like an animal name and then like a regular name. Oh, Stork Johnson, Rangatangu. That is never. That's. That's like. That's. The jets have to start a. Something. You know, anything is possible. They should have that on the. On inside that locker room and then just have the team. The 2025 New York jets, zero interceptions in 17 regulation games. Okay, that should show you right there. If you put your mind to something, you can make it happen. All right? We can make things happen if we. If we will it to happen. What we have to start doing, though, is.
Guest or Co-host
Is.
Bill Burr
Will something to happen that is good for this team. Okay? Now we. As far as doing shit that's bad for the team, we figured that out. But from here on out, I want you guys to be reading your affirmations.
Guest or Co-host
Anyway.
Bill Burr
I got two.
Guest or Co-host
Two kids, man. I. I'm trying to keep up with this stuff. I watched, like, the second half of most games. I caught the second half of the Bills Jacksonville game. That was a good game. I feel like Percy was right. He said experience was going to win that game. Josh Allen and those guys, which is a Patriots fan, I wasn't happy.
Bill Burr
I don't know what to think about.
Guest or Co-host
Them because we beat him once, and then we were kicking the. Out of them, and then they came flying back to beat us, so I don't know if I like that. And I thought Jacksonville matched up pretty well against them. Just sort of ran out of time. Now I got the Eagles game on 211 to go in the third. 16 to 10.
Bill Burr
Eagles. I'm three.
Guest or Co-host
Zero so far.
Bill Burr
Four zero. No, three. And, oh.
Guest or Co-host
In the playoffs, picking games. I picked both games yesterday, and I. I picked the first game I had the Bills, and on this one, I got the Eagles. This is a weird game. I like the 49. Look at that uniform. You got to love that uniform.
Bill Burr
But I feel like the Bills and Eagles, they're kind of dangerous, you know, they. They. The Eagles very quietly had a good.
Guest or Co-host
Season because they started off playing like ass.
Bill Burr
And I thought they were sort of like a. Like a B plus team. And I looked at their record. In the end, they, you know, they fucking did all right. I can't. I don't know what the hell they had. Last I saw, all of a sudden, they had 11 wins. I was like, what the fuck did. I thought they had, like, eight wins. But that's what happens when you don't really watch or look at the stats. You know, it sneaks up on you. I think The San Francisco 49ers is one of the few places a man.
Guest or Co-host
Can put on a pair of golden pants and not get shit for it.
Bill Burr
Like, no one even questions it. Like, if you put on gold pants, you go to a party, all the women are gonna be like, oh, yeah, look, you really dressed out there. They comment on it. You put on gold pants and you play for the 49ers. Nobody even brings it up. Anyway.
Guest or Co-host
Remember when they were, like, changing the names of teams and stuff? They were really looking at. I'm surprised 49er never came up.
Bill Burr
What exactly happened in 1849 with the gold Rush? You probably don't want to read up on it. Like most things in history, you don't. You don't want to get the real version or the other side, hear their fucking shit.
Guest or Co-host
Speaking of that, my. My lovely wife is. She's watching some insane show about people in Utah. You know, the usual thing. You know, there's gotta be.
Bill Burr
There's gotta be a happy medium between.
Guest or Co-host
Being a Mormon and an atheist, because.
Bill Burr
I don't think either way is right. You know what I mean? You can't totally fucking abstain from rubbing.
Guest or Co-host
One out and just marry the first chick you banged.
Bill Burr
And then conversely, you know, you can't go to Vegas and fucking, you know, fuck everything that moves and watch porno and do blow. And there's got to be. It's going to be somewhere in the middle. You know what I mean? Is there a way to do that? Does it have to be all or nothing? Do you have to be like, fuck all religions? Like, I've been. You know what? I've done both. I've been a part of religion. And then I said, fuck all religions. Guess what? Neither one worked. I still. I still have just as many fucking questions.
Guest or Co-host
So anyway, I took my kids to the park today because they're just. They're too big for the backyard now. They're gonna break a fucking window. They're just crushing it. My daughter's been working on a swing. My son's just like a natural. And then we started playing catch, which is something I always want to do. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my daughter has, like, a cannon for an arm one.
Bill Burr
We start like, all right, let's.
Guest or Co-host
Let's throw the football around. My daughter's throwing spirals. My son is second throw.
Bill Burr
Can't even get his arm around his.
Guest or Co-host
Hand, around the ball through a spiral. The second one, I'm like, they're going to be all right. That's a big thing in life.
Bill Burr
You got to know how to throw.
Guest or Co-host
Something and hit your target. That's a big. It's a big thing. I feel like that comes in handy.
Bill Burr
A lot, even if you don't play sports. Let's just say you're sitting in a.
Guest or Co-host
Chair, you don't want to get up.
Bill Burr
You got something in your hand, you want to throw it out there's a fucking trash barrel over there. You know, you got a shot.
Guest or Co-host
You got a shot.
Bill Burr
You got a shot that you don't.
Guest or Co-host
Have to get up and you take.
Bill Burr
It, you know, and if you miss it, then you, then you get to get up out of your chair and then act like you just, you know, you, you know, somebody missed a shot.
Guest or Co-host
And you dunked it.
Bill Burr
Still a lot more fun than just.
Guest or Co-host
Having to get up.
Bill Burr
Because no one ever played catch with you. You know, no one ever wanted to play.
Guest or Co-host
What do you call it? Whatever the goddamn game is that you play. Sorry, I was watching this Hyundai commercial.
Bill Burr
I don't know the sound down.
Guest or Co-host
Guys all show up.
Bill Burr
Why do you have to act like.
Guest or Co-host
You'Re tough if you ride a motorcycle?
Bill Burr
Are you allowed to say we when.
Guest or Co-host
You, when you wee.
Bill Burr
Can you do that when you ride a motorcycle?
Guest or Co-host
I don't know.
Bill Burr
Can you imagine if it was the opposite? Can you imagine if people like acted on motorcycles? Acted like they were in SUVs? And people, well, a lot of people do.
Guest or Co-host
G wagons, they're always acting like cunts.
Bill Burr
Oh, you know something? Today when I was driving over to the park, I'm in the second lane from the right. I go to get over because my exit came up on me and I go to get over and as I'm going to get over, this guy comes screaming up on a motorcycle. He was far away. There was plenty of time for him to slow down, but he doesn't. He comes screaming up right to pass on the right. Then he drives by, looks at me, does the whole big exaggerated shaking his head. Oh, do you got it all figured out, you douche? You're passing on the right. You're not supposed to do that. I don't understand what it is about. I've brought this up a million times. People in LA don't understand that you, you don't pass on the right. It's dangerous. You know, they got like six lanes out here in a lot of areas, so I can figure forgive it in lanes 4, 5 and 6. Fuck. Touchdown. They threw the option. Oh, they're gonna bring it back. You fucking.
Guest or Co-host
Oh, man.
Bill Burr
Jesus Christ.
Guest or Co-host
There you go.
Bill Burr
This turf toe right to the fucking ball bag. Wait a second. Touchdown is a touchdown. There you go. I don't care if I lose my bet. You got to love an exciting play like that. That was fantastic. What a great fucking throw. Oh, they did the reverse.
Guest or Co-host
That's what it was. I think what sold it was the reverse. What do you guys think?
Bill Burr
You know, if you just kind of like, hand it off, and you're running a sweep. Like people kind of smell it because the running back usually gives it away.
Guest or Co-host
Man, they sold the hell out of that.
Bill Burr
Little razzle dazzle. Look at him talking shit. That's right. I should be quarterback.
Guest or Co-host
That's awesome.
Bill Burr
All right, we got a game here. We got a goddamn game. Anyway. Yeah, these. These people. There was another one. I was sitting at a red light. You can go right on red. And this guy beeps at me. But there was a lady standing on the curb. I don't know if she's gonna step off or not. I look at the rearview mirror, I'm like, what the fuck? And then this person's shaking their head, and I gotta tell you something, you know, I got a little upset, and then I was like, wait, I don't.
Guest or Co-host
Want to do this. I don't want to do this.
Bill Burr
But it was good. My kids were in the car.
Guest or Co-host
I didn't yell, I didn't curse.
Bill Burr
I'm doing all right.
Guest or Co-host
I got really frustrated today, though. I'm not going to lie to you. A couple times, I got really frustrated. I'm like, this feels weird. So then I did a little yoga. I meditated. I took an Epsom salt bath. Drank myself blind. No Epsom salt bath. I stopped there. That's insane that. That running backs make catches like that.
Bill Burr
When I was growing up, beyond 2.
Guest or Co-host
Yards, they would drop the ball. And then along came a guy named Roger Craig. Oh, that guy paid for that pass, huh? He's like, oh, I was almost fucking there, dude.
Bill Burr
I can't believe that you threw it better than I did. Sorry. I'm doing this for people who didn't.
Guest or Co-host
Sync up the audio. Anyway, so we went over to the park. We had a great time. And it's funny, they both have beautiful swings. Very happy, Nick. I was a lot happier than Nick Sirianni. Jesus Christ.
Bill Burr
That guy.
Guest or Co-host
That guy just looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. When his team starts to lose, I mean, you got. You gotta love him that that guy cares.
Bill Burr
He's not stoic, Nikki. Right? It's Italian. He wears it on his foot. Sit down, have something to eat. You know, they. They emote.
Guest or Co-host
I still think the Eagles are gonna win this game. 49ers, what a season.
Bill Burr
Everybody's heard, I think.
Guest or Co-host
Was that.
Bill Burr
Is Kerry Kittles out? Guy from the Nets? New Jersey Nets, back in the day.
Guest or Co-host
Who's out? Somebody sent me a text. Somebody sent me a text and said, is it Kittle? Is it Kittle I don't fucking know. Anyway, this podcast is all over the goddamn place. But why don't. Why don't you try tightening it up a little bit? Have you thought about that? Oh, my God. My wife's been watching that gay hockey.
Bill Burr
Show and couldn't wait to watch it either. Who knew straight women loved watching guys bang? Like, I went to this. This. This party, and that's all the wives were talking about. And then they wanted to make the husbands feel uncomfortable going, like, are you watching it?
Guest or Co-host
Are you watching it?
Bill Burr
Like, it really just goes to show you how unhappy they are that they want you to watch something that would maybe traumatize you. They're like, you what? I keep saying that because Nia's been watching it, like, every night.
Guest or Co-host
So we call it the Gay Hockey show. Gawky. Now I just call it cocky, you know, half cock, half hockey. It really isn't. It's mostly cock. Like, I swear to God, I think they're required to bang for, like, 20 minutes every show.
Bill Burr
And as someone who's been in a.
Guest or Co-host
Writer'S room, I mean, that's got to be an easy gig.
Bill Burr
You set to see, all right, it's mid season, they got a game, they go to practice. He says that, he says that. And then they Fuck for another 12 pages. And now we're up to page 24. We have five more pages to write, and they play the game. They win, the coach is happy. And then they blow each other for three pages, and then we're out. Anyway, so she's been like. She. She, like, binged it, evidently, until 4 in the morning. I'm surprised I didn't have any weird dreams that night, but what was I going to say? So these women were asked when we were watching it. I was saying, like, I was like, are they required to bang for 20 minutes? Like, just to remind you that it was like, I get it. They're gay, okay? But my question is, is what is going on with the team? There's a staggering lack of information. Are they in the playoffs? Are they on the bubble? Is. Does the coach have to sell his house? It's surprisingly not about hockey at all. Really? Because I was like, all right, this is just going to be like Young blood, but a little gayer. Turns out it's more like Red Shoe Diaries, except they're wearing skates. Anyway, she can't get enough of it. She can't get enough of it. So I tapped out.
Guest or Co-host
You know, it's like, I get it.
Bill Burr
There's going to be way more Male.
Guest or Co-host
Sex, then gay sex, then there is gonna be hockey. So I did watch that show. I don't know what the it's called. She goes through them so fast. She just, like, binges them.
Bill Burr
And I.
Guest or Co-host
And I. And I. I barely get a chance to catch up. Like, she watched some black mirrors, and I got to watch those.
Bill Burr
Like, I don't choose.
Guest or Co-host
I don't choose what we watch. And I gotta be honest with you.
Bill Burr
Like, I would much rather watch a.
Guest or Co-host
Gay hockey show than true crime.
Bill Burr
I. Like, she's watching something right now about fucking Utah.
Guest or Co-host
And this woman. Somehow these kids came running out of a house emaciated, with, like, tape around their fucking wrists. It's like, you know, the fact that.
Bill Burr
They'Re making a show about this means it was brought to the authorities, attention. So I'm sure what needed to be done was done. Why do I need to.
Guest or Co-host
I don't want that on my hard drive.
Bill Burr
I don't want to be, like, walking around.
Guest or Co-host
Like, I work on the vice squad and seeing all of this horrible fucking abuse. My wife can watch that shit on, like, a. On a Sunday afternoon. It's kind of amazing. So anyway, she was watching this thing called something la.
Bill Burr
I don't know.
Guest or Co-host
I. I'm just the worst with this shit. But the actors in it were fucking hilarious, and I was loving that. And then she just binged it. She binged, like, the last two. There was whoever played the boss on the show. This woman, redheaded woman, was hilarious. She was so unhinged and crazy, but, like, also, like, grounded in this sinister way, like, running the company. Like, unbelievable actor. And then she binged the last two.
Bill Burr
She's like, yeah, you can watch them. And it's like. Like, I can't figure this out. This. Like, I even know the name of the show. You go through them so goddamn quick. I don't know what platform they're on. I usually. I just come walking in, I'm like, what are you watching? And then I. I'm usually three episodes in, and then I get into it and I watch, like, half of three, and I get up to about six. And then by the time I wake up the next day, two days later, she's. She's watched the last, you know, up.
Guest or Co-host
To eight or 10. And then I go on to another one.
Bill Burr
So I watched a couple of black.
Guest or Co-host
Mirrors, whatever that LA show is.
Bill Burr
And then I watched two hockey players bang each other.
Guest or Co-host
And then, like, I don't know.
Bill Burr
She's watching Murder. I can't. I don't know. Remember on MySpace when they were saying, like.
Guest or Co-host
Everybody used to say, talk about their musical taste.
Bill Burr
It's very eclectic. Like, she literally watches.
Guest or Co-host
Anything from an incredible foreign film on Criterion to, like, true crime to fucking Kardashians. I don't know. I can't keep up with this shit.
Bill Burr
We get it, Bill.
Guest or Co-host
We get it.
Bill Burr
Hey, you're the fucking married guy who doesn't know anything. Well, yeah, I don't. I don't. There. You happy I'm a fucking stereotype. Does that make you feel better about yourself, G? Bill, you getting a little defensive.
Guest or Co-host
Now? What it is, is I'm stressing about this game tonight. I don't like this game tonight. I feel like if we win this week, there's a chance we could go to the Super Bowl. I don't know why, but we have to get past this game. Probably because it's, you know, Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert, I mean, they're a great team. They got a great defense. I think they're great against the pass. I'm not sure. But we have a really good running game, so the weather's going to play a factor. I think that helps us because we have two killer running backs. We can eat up the clock. And, you know, Drake May's got ice water in his veins, so I like our chances. But I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm a little nervous. 49ers, just. Just going right down the goddamn field. I. I'm. I'm starting to feel. I don't know, this is weird. I'm starting to feel like, you know, the. The Eagles are starting to lose control of this game. The momentum. Brock Purdy. They just have B. Purdy. In my world, that's Bernard Purdy. All right, I think it's time to do some. Some reads here for the week. What do we got here? Oh, quo.
Bill Burr
Q, U, O, Q, quo.
Guest or Co-host
I don't know.
Bill Burr
2026 is the year your business stops.
Guest or Co-host
Acting like a game of telephone gone wrong. Well, that was the whole point of telephone. It always went wrong. You went around the way and there was somebody who's always like, had to switch it up, right?
Bill Burr
Scattered messages, missed calls. And who's handling this? Shouldn't be a daily ritual. A modern communication system is like giving your team a GPS instead of a treasure map drawn by a toddler. Everyone stays aligned, responds faster. Oh, interception, baby. They clearly blew the whistle. And he's still running down the field. He's gonna go the whole way. The coaches teach you? Coaches teach you Go the whole way. Go the whole way. Go the whole way. Skip, skip, skip. Nod your head, nod your head. This is our house. Skipping sideways. Skip with him, skip with him. Quarterback licking his fingers like he's gonna throw another pass. You're not, buddy. You're going to the sidelights. Little hold of the jersey there. Got away with it.
Guest or Co-host
And it didn't touch the ground. Thought I touched the ground for half a second. That was his leg.
Bill Burr
This guy's leg is almost the same color as the football. Look at this with a knee right there. You think? All right, that's. That's a. Oh, Jesus. I'll tell you right now, you can't turn the ball over in the playoffs. You know Joey B. Joe Bartnik, Rose bowl tailgate legend. He sent me a clip off of Twitter that was showing. Gee, speaking of Twitter, what is going.
Guest or Co-host
On with the Twitter guy? This guy that he's fucking unhinged?
Bill Burr
Is he like a full on Nazi fucking racist lunatic? Why won't I support that guy? The guy's trying to start a fucking race war. He's out of his mind. I really don't understand how people on the right support the troops and support a guy who supports the Nazis. Do you remember we were fighting the Nazis? The Nazis killed American troops. You couldn't not support the troops any more that by. Than being. Than being a Nazi. Well, you know, it's not exactly.
Guest or Co-host
I'm sorry, I got to get back to the. The read here.
Bill Burr
Quo. Everybody you know. Are you working with the Tesla guy? Are you working with somebody with no discernible talent who's sued his way onto the created by credit of Tesla even though he didn't do a thing? Little first down action there. All right. Quo 2026 is the year your business stops acting like a game of telephone gone wrong. Scattered messages, missed calls, and who's handling this? Shouldn't be a daily ritual. A modern communication system is like giving your team a GPS instead of a treasure mat drawn by a toddler. Jesus.
Guest or Co-host
They're really coming down on the phone systems.
Bill Burr

Guest or Co-host
Oh, look who it is, everybody.
Bill Burr
Look who it is. Simply safe. You know, when it comes to home security, you want to feel like you picked the right system that actually keeps trouble away. But no one, but no one, but not one that just tells you something bad already happened. You know what?
Guest or Co-host
I'm going to put on my glasses. I've decided I'm going to take the advertising reel this seriously this week.
Bill Burr
Okay?
Guest or Co-host
Oh, there it is.
Bill Burr
That's why I like Simplisafe's home security. It just doesn't. It's just not up. Jesus Christ, I'm dumb. It's not that I can't see. It isn't just another alarm. It's designed to help stop crime before it starts. Simply safe. Use AI powered camera cameras outside your home to spot real threats and instantly alert live agents. And that is what makes it different from the rest. Those agents actually take action while the intruder is still outside. They talk to them through the camera, let them know they're being watched and that police are on the way. And if needed, they can blast the siren and light them up with the spotlight. Another system might give you a camera and a notification, but they need you to see the alert and Handle it Simply safe. Monitoring agents have your back even when you're busy asleep or on a plane. They're protecting. Over 5 million Americans have been named best home security system by U.S. news & World Report for five years in a row. And right now you can get 50% off any new system this month. Only it's a great time to upgrade to security that actually helps stop crime before it starts. Go to simplisafe.combird that's simply safe.com. there's no safe like simply safe. Sorry, I was distracted when I.
Guest or Co-host
Was reading that because I was thinking.
Bill Burr
About my garage door, which I got.
Guest or Co-host
Fixed, and now that it just came off the track, I don't know what the hell happened. If it's not one thing, it's another. I'll tell you. You know, you own a house and geez.
Bill Burr
Louise. Holy heck. That's what I say. That is what I say. Did I tell you guys.
Guest or Co-host
That? Look at that fucking.
Bill Burr
Duck. What the hell was that? It's one of the worst throws I've. That looked like I threw it. Oh, you know.
Guest or Co-host
What? It's.
Bill Burr
Windy. That's why when there's a 40 mile an hour headwind, you get to see what I look like when I.
Guest or Co-host
Try to throw an eight yard pass. Look at this goddamn.
Bill Burr
Thing. Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Not only did that look like.
Guest or Co-host
These guys are like hugging each other, I still don't understand. You.
Bill Burr
Know, I will never understand why if the quarterback under throws the ball and the receiver stops and then.
Guest or Co-host
The D back runs into the guy, they give him pass interference. You're rewarding him for a poorly thrown ball. Saquon Barkley limping around on the sideline. All right, here's my hot take of the.
Bill Burr
Week. When it's all said and done.
Guest or Co-host
Tom Brady is going to be considered funnier than.
Bill Burr
The.
Guest or Co-host
Than. Than Peyton Manning and. And his brother there, not Archie Eli. You know, the Mannings have always.
Bill Burr
Like. As far as like, quarterbacks. The funniest quarterbacks in commercials have always been the Mannings. And all of a sudden, Tom Brady out of nowhere has all these comedy chops. You see that Pizza Hut commercial? He's fantastic. That's the second one I've seen where he's absolutely fucking crushed it. Okay? I'm not biased at this point. He's not playing anymore. I'm looking at all of.
Guest or Co-host
Them. They're all fucking great, by the.
Bill Burr
Way. And generally speaking, athletes are funny.
Guest or Co-host
And they tell great.
Bill Burr
Stories. How have I learned this I've done a couple, I've done stand up.
Guest or Co-host
At a couple of banquets and they always bring a comedian on there because they get nervous that you know that the show is going to be dry because they're handing out awards or whatever the it is. And then they don't understand. Like these guys grow up in locker rooms. Everybody's breaking balls, telling stories. They're hilarious. And every time I do one of those gigs, like the people that are speaking are usually so funny and their stories are so entertaining, for half a second I forget that I have to go on. And then all of a sudden, yeah, you're up next. I'm like, jesus Christ, you didn't need me, you did meet me. They were all just as funny as me. They all have better stories than I do. And everybody here loves sports. And now you're going to interrupt it. All of these guys have championship rings or won a batting title or whatever the fucking sport is. And now I have to go up here, this was not a good idea. Who do I need to talk to so this doesn't happen again? But I always end up saying yes. All right, plowing ahead here, dude. If you can tell me the difference between a, a Kia, a Hyundai and a Lexus at this point, they all look the same. They all look the same. They all look like a football helmet with wheels on.
Bill Burr
It. Do you think, do you think.
Guest or Co-host
That there's going to be any sort of desire in the future, you know, in a Mecham auction, is somebody really going to want to buy like a 20, 26, you know, ionic.
Bill Burr
Five? I'm trying to like, I still.
Guest or Co-host
Think like an amg, like I think gas powered engines are going to be like worth something someday as they all just sort of gradually go away. I was so about electric cars, but now I'm just like, can they make a cool one? They all have to be like.
Bill Burr
Like I actually think a lot of.
Guest or Co-host
The gas combustion cars now is it. Don't you feel like they're all like.
Bill Burr
Disposable? They just.
Guest or Co-host
Shit. I don't know. That wasn't very uplifting, was.
Bill Burr
It? All right, let's, let's do some, do some of the, the fucking reads here. All right. Little John commercial. All right, so I've been doing this thing where, you know, as this business is shrinking into the streaming service owners pockets and everybody, half this town is out of fucking business. You see in movie stars are. How about you got to give it up to Tom too. The guy's retired, he's still on the diet. Still has the sunken cheekbones. I'm looking him right now. He looks like he could still fucking.
Guest or Co-host
Play. You'd never know he was 63, insane. Broke into the league last year of Dick.
Bill Burr
Butkus. A lot of people don't know that. Anyway, so there's a lot of.
Guest or Co-host
People, musicians, and all of these people are doing, like, commercials. And, you know, I like to look out for my fellow.
Bill Burr
Performers. So I've been coming up, you know, with some.
Guest or Co-host
Ideas. You know, I was saying how Little John could do, like, a hotel commercial. He'd be in a room, you know, at a fancy hotel, and a.
Bill Burr
Lady knocks on the door and four in the afternoon, and she knocks on the door. He's like, yeah. And then she opens the door, she's like, turn down service. And he's like, turn down what? Right? And then they just advertise whatever the fuck it is. Tommy Lee Tacoma. You know, he yelled at like 50 times in that drum solo for Toyota Tacoma. And then I saw Janice Jackson with my lovely wife, and she was singing Escapade. I was like, right there. Escalade. Cadillac Escalade. We'll have a good time. Yes. Come on. You like it? You want to buy one? Leave your Prius behind. All right, so I think people are starting to weigh in here. All right, here we go. Little John commercial. Hey, Billy. Flat belly. That's right. Getting in shape here. About two days after you mentioned how easy would be to have little a Little John commercial, I saw one for Hyundai. Pretty much exactly how you imagine. Imagine it. Just goes to show somebody's always already thought of it. Well, what the fuck, dude? Tell me what the commercial is. Little John was in it. He was saying, turn down for what? In a Hyundai.
Guest or Co-host
Commercial. Oh, look at that. Putting his head down, the little fake.
Bill Burr
Throw. Brock Purdy. All right, well, I would like to see it. Whatever. The guy already had a fucking.
Guest or Co-host
Commercial. Good for him. That's fantastic. I would like to know what it was, though. If you said it's. It's the.
Bill Burr
Same. So he says, turn down for what? Does he have the car stereo? 1 baseline and celebrity commercial. Hey, Bill, I'd like to add Fight the Power by the Isley Brothers to the contenders for best.
Guest or Co-host
Baseline. Am I familiar with.
Bill Burr
That? Fight the Power, to me is Public enemy. Check it out. I don't think you'll be.
Guest or Co-host
Disappointed. I will check that.
Bill Burr
Out. Look at Brock purdy marching the 49ers down the fucking strike. I did everything. He had the binoculars. He had the bow and arrow. Multiple.
Guest or Co-host
Celebrations. So they're going to go down, they're going to score. I swear, there's no defense.
Bill Burr
Anymore. Even in these games where it's a nice defensive struggle, there's something about six minutes left. I don't know what defense they put.
Guest or Co-host
In. What do they got.
Bill Burr
Here? What do they got in the.
Guest or Co-host
Box? Everybody. Oh, he's got to throw that one away. Yeah, I gotta check that out. That's a. Gotta love a great bass line. You know, it's got some buddies come over today jamming. Now my garage door is off the goddamn track. You know, it's hooked up to a garage door opener. I, I don't have that skill set. I'm gonna start fucking disconnecting shit. And then it's gonna slam shut when I'm in it. And then how the fuck do I get out of it? You know, my wife's psyched, I'm not in the house. I, I start to starve, you know, I gotta drink my own urine until Wednesday. I mean, I'm just gonna, just accept it. Oh, McCaffrey. Oh, my God. The guy's just got moves. The guys just got too many.
Bill Burr
Moves right down the field. All right, all right. Check that thing out. Okay. Isley Brothers, fight the.
Guest or Co-host
Power. I will check it out. All.
Bill Burr
Right. As for celebrity commercials, I'm surprised with all the erectile dysfunction commercials and premature ejaculations commercials out there nowadays, you know, I really think it's time to take the shame off of premature ejaculation. You know, what is he really guilty of loving women too much? I don't think that's a problem. Anyway, premature ejaculations commercials out there nowadays that they haven't hired Chris Collinsworth to advertise. Oh my God, this is great. To advertise long lasting boners and no Premier Jacks by saying plenty of time left. That's amazing. Oh, my God, dude, that's. That's top shelf comedy right there. Jesus Christ. That's fantastic. Like, that's, that's fantastic. There's a lot of fat out there that watch sports. They got that belly sitting on their junk. They probably need to take a pill. They're familiar with Chris Collinsworth. He's only plenty of time. I mean, you know, I thought I had some funny ones. That's the best one yet. And I actually think you could make that commercial. All right, here we go. Also, only OG podcast listeners would get it. But your go to Segway Plowing Ahead should be used in a snowplow slash snow removal companies commercial. Oh, I think we should do that with. We talk about our fucking currency. The bankers should say that after 2008. Plowing ahead, acting like we didn't do anything. Yeah, plowing ahead for the snowplow commercial. Are there really snow removal.
Guest or Co-host
Commercials? I would say maybe for the side of a.
Bill Burr
Truck. Christian McCaffrey is.
Guest or Co-host
Just. Just gaining insane chunks of yardage. How many yards does this guy.
Bill Burr
Have? I feel like he's gotten 30 yards on this drive.
Guest or Co-host
Alone. I hate to say it. This game is coming down to coaching whoever's calling these plays. That double reverse option for the touchdown, they just. They just. They're just running downhill here, right? First and goal, 405 to go. Caffrey, a little. I mean, Brock Purdy, little leg kick, dangerous pass to the.
Bill Burr
Full. Is he wearing John Rathman's.
Guest or Co-host
Number? What do you got to do to get your number retired in this franchise? Well, you gotta be fucking Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Dwight Clack, rest his soul. Freddie Salman, Ronnie Lott, Dwight Hicks, Jack Reynolds, Fred Dean, O.J. simpson, Jim Plunkett. All right. I think when Bill Walsh took over this fucking team, he had Jim Plunkett and O.J. simpson, and everybody thought both of them were washed up. Oh, incomplete. Oh, that's the guy who threw the touchdown pass. Jennings. All right, let's. Let's try to focus here. All right? Big.
Bill Burr
Fan. Keep up the great.
Guest or Co-host
Work. Glad to see you getting the old noggin healthy. Meditation has helped me a lot, so cheers to a great 2026. Yeah, no, I'm gonna have a. I'm gonna have a good one. I got a little wound up today. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm a little more wound up, but I did yoga and I did. I meditated and. But I didn't snap. I didn't lose my temper. I. I don't curse in front of my kids for the most part. Now what do I say? Oh, sugar cubes. Oh, fudgy. Cool. It's just this stupid, and it actually becomes fun to say Christian.
Bill Burr
McCaffrey. I mean, what more does the man have to fucking do? What more does this guy have to do? You know what? You know, it's funny. If he was married, his wife.
Guest or Co-host
Would be bitching about something after the game, you know, if she was coaching the.
Bill Burr
Team. No, no, I'm glad you got the mvp. No, that's great. You know, I mean, I was calling the.
Guest or Co-host
Plays. Jesus Christ. Anyway. All.
Bill Burr
Right. California Fire Relief. Hey, Bill, have you been following the missing hundred million dollars? That was Raised for fire relief. I mean, what is different? What's the difference between this story and whatever? Do you remember why we went to Iraq? Do you remember we didn't find it? Do you remember what Saddam lit on fire before we got there? Do you remember that? Do you remember that thing where I used to give a portion of the proceeds of. Of the advertising to something for the troops coming back? And then I found out the family was stealing the money? It's. It's all the.
Guest or Co-host
Same. You have to.
Bill Burr
Understand. No business like charity. Like, no, but like, there's people out there that are just sitting around waiting for a tragedy and they just start a fund because regular people have empathy and they see the story. Anything. School shooting, terrorist attack, fucking, you know, whatever you want to call it. I mean, these sports leagues, they come up with jerseys for cancer and all of that. Then you find out, like, half of one fucking cont hair is going towards that and they're pocketing the rest of it. And they start making money off the fact that people are dying from cancer. It's horrible. So with that. With that cynicism, let's dive in here. No one who lost their home received any money from the funds raised. Money that could have housed them or helped pay for the cleanup. Instead it was fleeced by the group that raised the money. They said 75 million went to local food banks and community groups. I've yet to meet anyone here who has received any help. Dude, that is fucking insane. There's just no checks and balances anymore. When I was a kid, God damn it, you called up the Better Business Bureau and shit happened. There was actually journalism that money was donated by people who thought they could. They would be helping us directly. And they were misled. An entire other aspect of the story is that foreign wealthy individuals have been buying up everything. Every since lot imaginable. Every single lot imaginable. The state and city have been holding building permits hostage while their rich friends figure out how they can best optimize the city. Yeah, it's filthy. Developers, foreign money, corrupt charities, all of that. And like, one person will go to jail. One person. It's like the Ollie north.
Guest or Co-host
Thing. All right, here come the Eagles. What are they going to do? What are they going to do? It's getting late in the game. Jalen hurts. What do you got, buddy? What do you got? He's got a Super bowl ring. This guy knows what he's.
Bill Burr
Doing. All right? They say will be affordable housing, but. But will be a small segment. While the majority of the building Goes to stacking high rise apartments. Oh, no. Palisades was a very tight community of people who knew each other's. Each other and homes were passed through several.
Guest or Co-host
Generations. Well, that's why the banks are like, finally, let's get rid of those fucking.
Bill Burr
People. It's a real disgusting situation and I truly wish it would get more.
Guest or Co-host
Attention. Yeah. I mean, why, you know, yeah. Instead we're paying attention to oil rich countries and acting like, you know.
Bill Burr
If they really gave a.
Guest or Co-host
Fuck.
Bill Burr
Yeah. Wouldn't they be taking care of that? Wouldn't they be taking care of.
Guest or Co-host
All of these, these troops that end up on skid row with PTSD and drug problems when they take care of.
Bill Burr
People in the pal, Palisades, Altadena, when they be doing a bunch of stuff, they don't, they don't. All they do is take care of themselves. And then they, they create these false narratives to upset you and to divide us.
Guest or Co-host
All. Yeah, I don't fuck with a lot of charities. What I do, I go, I did, I did a benefit at the Wiltern with Shane Gillis. Hopefully that money got there. And then the other stuff that I did, I went directly to people. You lost your house. We raised this. Here you go. That's the only way to fucking do.
Bill Burr
It. Do you know, when I was out, you know, the public schools and all of that are terrible out here in la. And I thought to myself, well, all right, well, you know what, why not help. What. What's the closest public school to me? I'll just fucking, you know, I'll help that out. We'll do a comedy show. We'll do all that. You know, what do you need? What's the biggest thing you need? We'll do a benefit. We'll give you what it will bring it over, right. And you literally cannot do it. You can't go to a public school and give them money. It has to go to the hedge centralized board of, of school of public schools. And then they decide where it goes and what ends up happening is they just keep most of it because they don't give a fuck. And then what you did was you just, I don't know. You.
Guest or Co-host
You. I don't.
Bill Burr
Know. They, they just. People are not honest. So we ended up having to do like what you can do is, is if they need.
Guest or Co-host
Supplies, you can do that. So we just had to make a list of supplies and we just went shopping and did that. But we could have done so much more. I just like, it's in my neighborhood, my taxes go, why Can't I just choose that one? It's all about fucking control, corruption and all of.
Bill Burr
That. You know what this.
Guest or Co-host
Is? This is getting really. It's getting really negative. Oh, my God. It's going to be a bunch of high rise apartments. Why would they do that? Why are they so hell bent on these high rises? It just has to be like a way to like wash money or something because they keep making these places. No one can afford to live in them. And most of them, they. There's nobody in them. They do that in New York. They just make these things. Jesus Christ. They build it up to the.
Bill Burr
Stratosphere. They literally go into commercial Bravo airspace. They had to clear it with.
Guest or Co-host
The FAA and they can't sell anything. And then they just knocked down these buildings that everybody could.
Bill Burr
Afford. And then the local bodega goes out of business because they knocked down the place where people lived. Now it's a giant high rise.
Guest or Co-host
And it's vacant and nobody buys a bacon, egg and cheese and it all just trickles.
Bill Burr
Down. Gee, Bill, you just got it all figured out, don't you? Not all of it. Some of it, though. Some of it anyways. All right, this is where I'm going to take a break and I am going to. I'm gonna watch the Patriots game. I think it's going to be a great game. My prediction to the game, I.
Guest or Co-host
Really think it's a coin flip. And I am a happy Patriots fan. I mean, I'll be disappointed, but like, I had nobody, nobody had us. Where we're at right now, the job that Mike Brabel's done, the coaching staff, the job that the players, the gm, the ownership and everybody, I mean, they absolutely crushed it this year. So we got a great future. Never thought we would be back this quickly. And to see that Drake May is the real deal and we can build around that is incredible. Jalen Hurts just orchestrating this drive, chewing up the clock. Plenty of time going right down the field. All right, I'm gonna watch the rest of this game and then I'm gonna do the last 10 minutes about the Patriots. All right, that is all. I through the magic of editing, I will see you in half a.
Bill Burr
Second. Oh, my God, they won. Hey, the fucking pat's are back. As much as so many people don't like it, they are back. Wow, what a game. I enjoyed the game. A lot of people thought it was sloppy, but a lot of people also, they just look at like, you know, they like a Bills ch. Chiefs playoff game where there's like, no defense whatsoever. I thought the Chargers had a great game.
Guest or Co-host
Plan. They're like, you know, what's New.
Bill Burr
England gonna do to really kill us? They got two great running backs. They're gonna time a possession, chew up the clock, establish the run. We're gonna take that away from you. We're gonna take it away from you and make you beat us with the pass. And that was working. 3 nothing. 3, 3, 6, 3, 9, 3. You know, and all the Madden boys. Oh, this game sucks. These people are going anywhere. One week, one game. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a little chilly out, a little crosswind. You know, that was kind of an ugly game. But I did like, you know, the Chiefs, that was like a difficult game. And then their quarterback's playing, he's.
Guest or Co-host
Got one broken hat, you know. So I said to my buddy, this is what I says. I says to the guy, I said, you know.
Bill Burr
What? The first team that scores a.
Guest or Co-host
Touchdown is going to win this goddamn game. And thank God it was us.
Bill Burr
Because that game really could have gone either.
Guest or Co-host
Way. And you know, they also, like, people are going to get on Drake May, you know, fumbling the ball and throwing in an interception. But the way I saw it is the San Diego Chargers defense caused both of those. They deflected a pass, bang, bang, boom. Third guy catches.
Bill Burr
It. I will say like that going forward. Two minutes into the game, fourth down for the San Diego Chargers. Why the fuck you wouldn't kick a field goal? I just don't get it. I don't fucking get it. And then we turn around and then we do it. But we get the first down. I'm like, shows you what I know. And then we get stopped. And then we finally just kick the field goal. Yeah, it's like the drive is over. Get out of the relationship. Kick the fucking ball through the uprights. Get the goddamn.
Guest or Co-host
Points. Get the points and get the fuck out of there. That's what I was saying. And then we get the ball back, you know, then they get the ball back at the end of the.
Bill Burr
Game. Play tab.
Guest or Co-host
Right? And what do we start doing.
Bill Burr
Then? It's just, it's like third and long and we're giving them like a 12 yard cushion. And like, I got the first down. Of course they got the first down. We'll give them a fucking 12 yard cushion. And I'm texting my buddy going like, I don't. Since the 1980s, the winning team plays 55 minutes of football and then they go into this make a wish.
Guest or Co-host
Defense. I start doing that.
Bill Burr
Shit. Like you haven't heard me say.
Guest or Co-host
That five million fucking.
Bill Burr
Times. And then what do they do? Then they blitz and sack Herbert and I just.
Guest or Co-host
Wrote. And then they blitz and they sacked a quarterback. I'm going to shut the fuck up now. So obviously I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. But I'm happy that we came out of this, this dream season of turning it around for the Patriots. And in my heart of hearts I was like, what would be great is if we go into the playoffs and we get a win because we're gonna build on. I mean, look, the, the odds of the Patriots winning the Super Bowl. I mean, there's so many teams you gotta be. I mean, we still gotta win fucking two more games just to get to the Super Bowl. And you know, I'll tell you.
Bill Burr
Right now, it doesn't get any.
Guest or Co-host
Easier. I don't know, Seattle, the 40, there's so many teams that are out of. I don't even know who the good anymore. But I know that, you know, we're a really young team. So I was really hoping that obviously we wouldn't lose. Go get into the playoffs and lose and then all the Patriots haters could be like, well, see, I told you, you know, they had an easy schedule. This was a fucking blah, blah, blah team or whatever, whatever, you know, they're gonna find something anyway. But I was really happy and Drake May didn't get down on himself and that 37 yard scamper was a great one. And you know, we just made the plays that we need to make. I mean just basically I'm gonna speak in sports cliches, but I'm really excited that we won. So now we're gonna play the winner of. Dude, Texans are scary. The winners of the Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. So I see the Texans winning that game. Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers. But I just think that for some reason I just feel like the Steelers, they don't have enough. They don't have enough. And everybody sleeps on the Texans. I don't know why is it down in Houston, you know, they still feel like an expansion franchise. At least they do to me. Like the Raiders will always be the Oakland Raiders, right? And the fucking Houston to me is always going to be the Oilers. I really wish they brought that name back. That was such a great name. Do you think the. Do you forfeit the name once you move? Once the Oilers moved and became the Titans? Yeah, I guess they do because the New York jets used to be the New York Titans because they had the New York Giants and they're like, well, we're the Titans. And then the Giants were like, really, dude? Really? It's bad enough that we already had a football team and now your stupid AFL league comes here and joins, you know, joins the, you know, the fray. You're going to do like a name. Like you're totally ripping us off. And then they were just like, okay, with the.
Bill Burr
Jets. All right, here's some more sports trivia for you. Where were the two places the.
Guest or Co-host
New York Football Giants played between Yankee Stadium and the Meadowlands? And this is really interesting too. They played in the Meadowlands until 1973, and that's when the original Yankee Stadium. I'm sorry, they played in Yankee Stadium until 1973. Like, you know that that Giants Colts game, the greatest game ever played, you see, is played in old Yankee Stadium, the house that Ruth built. And they were finally gonna redo it where it became the Reggie Jackson, Chris Shambliss, Greg Nettles, Ron Guidry, that classic stadium where they won in 77 and 78, 96, 98, 99, 2000. I just can't. I just. Once I get going, I can't stop. All right, this is where they played. I didn't know this for two seasons. So they redid the stadium. So not only did the Yankees had to leave, and I believe they played in Shea Stadium, if you can believe that. They sort of, when the Mets weren't home, the Yankees played their home game. So that was like 162 games was played on that field. Must have been pretty chewed up. And the Giants had to leave. So the Giants, believe it or not, in 1973 and 74, played NFL games at the Yale Bowl. Now obviously, you know, if you don't not familiar with the Yale bowl, that is the original bowl stadium. That's why I went to a game there. The Rose bowl, all of these, these like the Cotton bowl, all of those. That style stadium where the pillars were underneath the stadium so there was no obstructed view. Oh my God. Hang on a.
Bill Burr
Second. I can I just, can I just hang on, please. I'm doing my.
Guest or Co-host
Podcast. Hilarious. Go out to your office and do your podcast. And then I come out here and two seconds later there's a knock on the.
Bill Burr
Door. But you gotta love.
Guest or Co-host
It. You gotta love it. You gotta love being a dad. So they played two years in the Yale Bowl. 70, 73.
Bill Burr
74. And then in 75, then they.
Guest or Co-host
Went over to Shea and in the meantime they were building the Meadowlands and then from 1976 to 2009, they played in the Meadowlands. I thought that was pretty cool. So anyways, that, that. Yeah, the original Yale bowl. It was. I'm sorry, the Yale Bull is the original bowl stadium. And that gave the name. And then everybody took that design. And then that's why all of those January 1st games were called. You know, going to a bowl game was called that because of the design of the.
Bill Burr
Stadium. And now, you know the rest of the story. There you.
Guest or Co-host
Go. All.
Bill Burr
Right. Congratulations to the New England Patriots. Condolences to the Chargers. They did play a great.
Guest or Co-host
Game. You know, just came up short. Who else. Who else won this.
Bill Burr
Weekend? I've yet to watch the highlights of the Bears Packers. I don't know how.
Guest or Co-host
The. I, you know, I was watching the scores. I was out with my kids that day. And congratulations to the Bears. I had a feeling, you know, we did the Anything Better podcast, dude, by the way, we crushed it. I went 4 and 1. Paul Verze against the spread, went 5 0. He's picked every game. So tonight I took the Texans, he took the Pittsburgh Steelers. He could possibly go 6 0, which would be a nice comeback for him, as he does every year. All right, so that is it, everybody. I mentioned that I was going to be in Utah in February. It looks like that gig is actually in.
Bill Burr
March.
Guest or Co-host
March. I'm going to the Utah Mammoth first Edmonton Oilers game. I think that's the first time I'll see McDavid dry, Seidel Nugent Hopkins nurse that whole team live. So I'm really excited about that. And I'm gonna knock out these next two. And I. I believe my tour, but to be talking to my. My tour guide soon is going to be starting up and I can't wait to get out on the road and see you guys. I'm gonna be doing the road a little bit differently, playing maybe some smaller places for multiple nights, You know, because, I don't know, there's some cities I like to hang in rather than just flying in, doing the gig and fucking leaving and then going to another one and then going to another one and then going home. I think I'm gonna be more like, play someplace, you know, rather than doing one big show, let's do three smaller ones. Chill here for a minute. In some of my favorite cities, I got some ideas for some really fun tours. I'm at that point in my career where I've kind of been everywhere a zillion times and. But it was always sort of like a thrash and trying to hit as many cities as I could to build up my following and do, you know, all of that grassroots shit. And so, you know, I got a bunch of friends out there. I got a bunch of things that I like to do and like to see and that I learned throughout the years when I was playing clubs. And I would be there Tuesday through Sunday, back in the day when they would do that. Two Friday, three Saturday, right? So then, you know, I land in a place like Chicago. I don't get a chance to really go to where I want to go or Atlanta or, you know, Milwaukee's one of my favorite places to be. I just like all those places, and I want to be able to chill and have my little show at night and. But during the day, you know, go around and see all these cool places, you know, who knows? Baseball, Maybe they got a day game, could be nice, you.
Bill Burr
Know. Oh, Billy, old man, you know, putzing around town wearing my old man hat, you know, I'm gonna have a good time.
Guest or Co-host
Right? I'm enjoying this whole fucking ride. And it's because you guys come out to my show. So I really appreciate that and haven't said.
Bill Burr
That. Go fuck yourselves. And I will talk to you on Thursday. Go.
Host: Bill Burr
Podcast: Monday Morning Podcast
Date: January 12, 2026
In this episode, Bill Burr delivers his signature mix of rants, humor, and sports commentary as he gears up for a Patriots playoff game. He covers everything from the unpredictability of NFL playoffs, family moments at the park, and relationship philosophies, to the recent obsession with a "gay hockey" drama series. The episode also explores the corruption in charities, the absurdity of high-rise developments, and nostalgia for classic football. As always, Bill’s riffing veers between pointed, hilarious, and, at times, unexpectedly heartfelt.
