Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. World Cup Mania (03:14 – 16:45; 32:23 – 36:50)

• Bill’s World Cup Epiphany: Bill, Santino, and Bobby discuss getting hooked on the World Cup, even admitting to their “rookie” approaches to the sport’s terminology and strategy.

  • “Norway came in the first fucking three minutes, went down the field, gave Brazil the—oh, right there, Fred. Fucking great pass.” (04:00, Bill)
  • Bill humorously applies hockey terms to soccer due to his unfamiliarity.
  • Jokes about the agony of disallowed goals and the brutal offsides rule: “It’s like the DMV of watching sports, you know, where it’s... like when they score a goal, it’s like, oh my god, they called my name. It’s my turn. No, we needed 43 different forms of ID. I’m sorry, sir.” (04:32, Bill)

• Social & Historical Asides:

  • Santino draws parallels between soccer rivalries and their countries' histories of war/colonization. “These are amazing games because it’s like colonizers versus countries they over—you know, and then when it’s like European teams, it’s like, yeah, I bombed your city. Yeah, but you guys bombed us too.” (06:37, Santino)

• Refereeing & Rules:

  • Observations on the courage (or audacity) of refs to overturn crowd-euphoric moments.

• Stadium Energy & Fan Culture:

  • Bill praises the wild energy of soccer fans, contrasts it to US sports fans, and mentions the spectacle of famous people in the stands (Jay-Z spotted at the game for the Brazilian fans).
  • “Norwegian chicks and Brazilian chicks… If this one doesn’t pull you in, they should—if you want to get America to watch, go to the stands a little more.” (15:33, Bill)

• Player & Coach Fashion:

  • Bill riffs on the Brazilian coach’s “cigarette CEO” look, likening him to a Winston or Marlboro exec. (07:44, Bill)

• Penalty Kicks & Goalie Mind Games:

  • Santino discusses the modern penalty shot’s psychological dance, with forwards pausing to bait goalies. “When the goaltender doesn’t dive... then you’re kicking flat footed and it’s slower and then you don’t... It doesn’t go in.” (09:49, Santino)

---

2. Family & 21st-Century Parenting (17:51 – 20:47)

• Balancing Act: Bill shares heartfelt stories of getting back home, spending “analog” time with his kids—playing drums, baseball, and making waffles at 6 AM due to jet lag.

• Tech Detox: On combating device and social media addiction:

  • “When I get home, I just take my phone and throw it in the bedroom and I go downstairs. That’s it. Just leave it there... I’m able to go like, you know, 90 minutes.” (19:24, Bill)

  • Contrasts real-life unity with divisive rhetoric from politicians.

• Media and Critical Thinking:

  • Bill laments the loss of mass-media events, collective experience, and the rise of fractured, algorithm-driven entertainment (60:01+).
  • “Just imagine if there was like seven websites and seven websites only. And whatever time you went on those websites, whatever was on—that’s all that was on....” (60:01, Bill)

• On Poverty and Manipulation:

  • Emotional commentary on poverty’s impact, referencing the Bobby Kennedy funeral train and childhood poverty (61:51+).
  • “I just feel like they’re just dumbing us, like mentally. We're all gonna be like that heartbreaking family that I saw, like that level of poverty...” (63:08, Bill)

---

4. Relationship Advice & Random Life Philosophy

• Metaphorical Offsides in Life:

  • Comedy sketch idea about jokes and relationships—the “flag up” in social situations when someone’s joke “crosses a line.” (06:03–06:37)

  • Detailed, slightly tongue-in-cheek clarification on the difference between comets, asteroids, meteors, and meteorites.
  • “I thought there was meteors, meteorites, asteroids, comets, and cupids... Asteroids, which are rocks that go around the sun and somehow they break off or whatever and they just start taking people out.” (27:08, Bill)
  • Refers to the 1907 Tunguska event in Siberia and reveals his preference to be "at ground zero" if the worst happens: “I just want to be as close to ground zero as possible... If there’s gonna be a missile, there’s gonna be a fucking asteroid, there’s like a fucking tsunami... I want to be sitting on here with my fucking feet up... and just be my last words, ‘How the fuck was that offsides?’ and then I’m dead.” (29:26, Bill)

Lot of sixes there, dude. I'm going to play the fucking lottery. All sixes, kid. What? It has just as fucking many odds are coming up as any other number one in a million. All sixes is one of those numbers, dude. See, nobody thinks that, do they?

[Andrew Santino]

Well, there you go.

[Bill Burr]

There you go. I am back in the United States of America. It's nice to be back here. It's nice. It's nice. I like it here. Nice variety of people. I'm weird. I'm an old school white guy. I don't mind other races. That's like an old School, white guy. No, I don't have a problem with other cultures. We almost did it, didn't we? Almost. Stop being racist.

[Andrew Santino]

Maybe not. I don't know.

[Bill Burr]

We were. We were on our way. Now we're making it great again. I'm sitting here.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, I'm.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm sweating here. Roasting, bacon boiling. It's like a sauna. Well, London, don't make me laugh. Bunch of cats. Every cat with a mid. Was it every. Every cat with a long face. I am watching right now. Brazil almost and Norway. And I've totally gotten into the World Cup. I fucking love it. I fucking love it. And, you know, there's still, you know, my, you know, a little bit of, like, something happened.

[Bill Burr]

Something happened. But did it happen? Oh, no, it didn't happen, right? They thought it happened and everybody went crazy. But then the guy stuck the flag out and it didn't happen. Just Norway came in the first fucking three minutes, went down the field, gave Brazil the. Oh, right there, Fred. Fucking great pass. The guy sends it back out to the point. I'm just going to use hockey terms

[Andrew Santino]

here, because I don't know any of this shit, right?

[Bill Burr]

And then the guy fucking goes top

[Andrew Santino]

shelf into the net. And everybody's going crazy, right?

[Bill Burr]

All the Norwegians jumping up and down, singing Viking songs. We will rape and pillage you again. Right? And then they fucking. And then all of a sudden, they're like. All the players always know it first because everybody. When there's a goal, everybody in the crowd is so fucking amazed something just happened. They lose their minds. Like, this is like the DMV of. Of. Of watching sports, you know, where it's. It's like when they score a goal, it's like, oh, my God, they called my name. It's my turn. No, we needed 43 different forms of ID. I'm sorry, sir. You're gonna come back tomorrow.

[Andrew Santino]

That's the offsides call.

[Bill Burr]

So the fucking. Fucking.

[Bobby Lee]

The.

[Bill Burr]

The dude comes down, they do all that, they score, top shelf. And then they go to the review or what? I didn't go to the fucking review like this. The fucking corner of the guy's right sleeve was blowing in the wind, like, the answer.

[Andrew Santino]

And then I go, yeah, it's offsides. Takes a lot of, like, courage to be a referee in soccer. Football, whatever. Whatever the. You're supposed to call. We call it soccer, all right?

[Bill Burr]

It takes a.

[Andrew Santino]

You know, to just take that level of joy away from that many people, like, the level of, like, confidence or Cunt. You have to be. You know what I mean?

[Bill Burr]

I was already thinking of it.

[Andrew Santino]

There's a good misogynistic sketch in this. What you should have is a like a husband hanging out on the back porch with all his buddies, and he makes a joke and. And everybody's laughing their asses off. And then the wife puts the flag out.

[Bill Burr]

Wait a minute. Wait. Oh, no, no. It crossed the joke, crossed the line. One of her friends got offended and is now walked into the living room and is crying. Oh, he thought he had a good joke. He thought he had a good joke, but it was too off color.

[Andrew Santino]

Anyways, I'm watching both of these games today. I'm watching the Brazil versus. Who the are they? England. England. These are amazing games because it's like colonizers versus countries. They over, you know, and then when it's like European teams, it's like, yeah, I bombed your city. Yeah, but you guys bombed us too. You know, there's just so much history of murdering each other. I'm sorry.

[Bill Burr]

War,

[Andrew Santino]

you know, conquering.

[Bill Burr]

There's all these words like, if you

[Andrew Santino]

and I do it, it's murder.

[Bill Burr]

But they do it.

[Andrew Santino]

It's, you know, expansion. It's cleansing.

[Bill Burr]

No, I just thought.

[Andrew Santino]

No, we didn't, like, commit a genocide.

[Bill Burr]

We just thought that that country needed a life coach. We were life coaching them.

[Andrew Santino]

Anyway,

[Bill Burr]

Brazil's coach is hilarious. They say head coach. He doesn't even look like.

[Andrew Santino]

Is he, like, Spanish or something?

[Bill Burr]

He's dressed like a. Like a CEO of a cigarette company. It's got, like this gray suit on. He looks like he works for, like, Winston or Marlboro. But anyway, I am back here in

[Andrew Santino]

the States and, yeah, I got to tell you, it was nice to get back here and just see the nice wide variety of people.

[Bill Burr]

Like, that's the one thing I don't

[Andrew Santino]

think that a lot of these idiots understand. You know, how cool that is. And you have all this different cuisine and all this music and all. I don't understand what the fucking problem is. I will say, having not seen hipsters, I mean, I do live in Hollywood, so, I mean, you're just gonna see them. Saw a lot of, like, Vespas, and then the people get the Vespas, and then you got to get like the, like the vintage motorcycle, like, Vespa helmet that they wore in, like, those really cool Fellini movies and. Or you get like an evil Knievel one or something like that. And it's just like, you know, I don't think I would go you know, analog with, you know, road rash. I think I would. That's where I would be 20, 26.

[Bill Burr]

I would.

[Andrew Santino]

I would go a little Walmart there, you know, and get like the, I don't know, the food networks mashup with some Chef and Kevlar, whatever the. They're selling at the end of an aisle. Like, I would get that at the end of the day. You know what I mean? You can, you can hipster it up late. Oh, look at the guy.

[Bill Burr]

He's going down. He's going down. He's pushed out of the fucking way. None of the hands are coming up. Nothing. That's not a foul.

[Andrew Santino]

I have no idea. No fucking idea. He's coming down.

[Bill Burr]

Oh, my God. It looks like something's gonna happen. And nothing happened.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, so then Brazil comes down and then they get. They get like a penalty. So, like, the new move is when

[Bobby Lee]

you take a penalty shot is you

[Andrew Santino]

run at the ball and then you stop and you wait for the goalie to dive and then you just kick it the other way. But now I think they're saying the goaltenders are anticipating that. And when the goaltender doesn't dive, then you're kicking it flat footed and then it's slower and then you don't.

[Bobby Lee]

It doesn't go in.

[Bill Burr]

So evidently, having a goal called back

[Andrew Santino]

because it was offsides is worse than missing a penalty. Which, now that I've said that out loud, that makes sense. When I heard the announcers say, I was like, you know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't. I don't think I get that. So anyway, Billy Novice, Billy straight edge, living like Henry Rollins for like five, six days, like, not even drinking coffee. I became a matcha. One of those guys. So I ordered one of those this morning. But I did get some latte beans. I was going to do, like, coffee every other day or maybe a couple times a week. But I think because I asked, I said, which, which one of these beans is good for a latte? That he ended up putting a latte in. So when it came, it showed up brown, and I was like, that's a matcha. And the lady was like, no, it's a latte. And I was like, I'll drink it.

[Bill Burr]

She's like, no, no, no, I can. I can make a matcha. I was like, no, no, it's fine, it's fine.

[Andrew Santino]

It's okay. It's fine. You know, and that right there, that right there is how you get sexually assaulted. I learned that On Instagram, they don't look for somebody weak. They look for somebody that is, like, does something they don't want to do. So that's one to grow on for all you guys out there. When you order a matcha and they bring a latte and you just accept it, you know, there's a chance you might get ass raped later on in the day, according to Instagram. You know, I'm not saying this is like, oh, I left those beans in the goddamn car. Hang on a second. Jesus Christ. I'll tell you, if it's not one thing, it's another. You know what that's gonna be like? That's gonna be when that. When. Someday, when I write my memoir, that's gonna be the name of the title. I wanted a matcha. And then it's gonna be a picture of me getting, like, sexually assaulted. No kidding. Oh, Billy. Oh, Billy.

[Bill Burr]

Why'd you have to go 10 minutes in, really? Well, I'm recording in the afternoon, so that's. That's the danger. When I record this in the morning,

[Andrew Santino]

I have morning energy, but this is, like, afternoon energy. And I also, you know, I got jet lag, so I've been up since 1:30 in the morning, so I'm like, 12 hours in.

[Bill Burr]

Look at that fucking guy coaching Brazil. He looks English.

[Andrew Santino]

Right bloke. We get out of here traveling, we can possibly do it for the Queen. That's what he looks like. We went a powdered wig in one of those. What you call it? One of those. One of the, you know, their court cases, and they come in, what is that called? Cosplay? Is that what they're into? They like. They like.

[Bill Burr]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

When you go to court in England, for some reason, you have to dress like you're in Amadeus. Oh, Jesus.

[Bill Burr]

Oh, I guess.

[Andrew Santino]

Hey, Jesus.

[Bill Burr]

I watched that fucking MotoGP race that I or Ogura won.

[Andrew Santino]

Get his name right, man. Incredible race.

[Bill Burr]

And they. He kind of like, you know, he started in, like, third place, went down to sixth, and worked his way through the pack and was very quietly, like, having the best track times, lap times, and. But they were too busy paying attention to Pedro Costa, Ma Marquez and Pekko Ben. Yeah, right. They would just want.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, no.

[Andrew Santino]

Who else was in there? The Giantonio.

[Bill Burr]

That was. That was amazing to see him run, Mark off the fucking track after all these years of Mark doing it to other people.

[Andrew Santino]

But he sent him into the fucking rocks there.

[Bill Burr]

You know,

[Andrew Santino]

like the kind when you don't know how to make a good walkway, you just Throw the pebbles on the ground. And he got a lap. You know what I liked about that? He got, like the long lap penalty, and everybody he passed doing that shit, ended up passing him, and he was right back where he started again, so it felt like really fair. And then he worked his way through and passed them all again. Very nice work. But anyway, by the time they realized what was going on, Ogura had close the gap between second and third against that guy. What the fuck is his name? Not Ron Francis. He played for the Penguins. That's his initials, rf. I don't know. For some reason, I can never remember that guy's name. I got too many microplastics in my brain over the years. But anyway, it was just great to see him finally. Fucking first Japanese writer to win one in 22 years. It was fucking fantastic. Oh, look at that. Is that a penalty? Is that a penalty?

[Bill Burr]

You know what I noticed that you

[Andrew Santino]

don't really do in this sport is you don't run the goaltender. You know, I wish they would combine this with hockey, because it is very like hockey, except you're running around, you're not skating.

[Bill Burr]

Look at Jay Z. Jay Z's at the game.

[Andrew Santino]

He's not there for the game. He's for all those hot Brazilian chicks.

[Bill Burr]

And you know what? Good on him. Anyways, you got Norwegian chicks and Brazilian chicks. You know, if you're not into the. If this one doesn't pull you in, they should be. You know what? If you want to get America to watch, go to the stands a little more.

[Andrew Santino]

Anyways, it was an amazing race to watch, and Marco Bashecki wiped out in fourth gear. Ragdolled. I can't believe he didn't break something, but seems like he's all right. But then what's his face? The guy who came in third place. Oh, Jesus. What the fuck is his name? I don't know. My fucking. My. I look at. Dude, I. I'm. I stayed up on the flight thinking, you know, oh, didn't I stay up till 9? I'll go. This didn't happen. Didn't happen. Anyways, whatever. I just like watching motorcycles go around a track. Evidently, I can't remember anybody's fucking name anymore. I was amazed that Alex Marquez came back after cracking a vertebrae and he was riding like, sixth place or something like that by the end of the race. That was pretty amazing. Not as amazing as the fact that despite even with the cracked vertebrae, I believe Mark, if he had to, would have ran him off the fucking track. I love the coach Of Brazil. Why is he dressed like he's in the paper chase? Is that old school? Jesus Christ. That guy might want to do a 23. And me anyway plowing ahead here. So I'm back out here. Oh, Billy. Clean, clean shaven. The acting gig is over. I rapped on it. I had, I could not have had a better time. I actually enjoyed every single day right up until the end. And I didn't get antsy or anything like that. I love the people that I worked with and that's a first for me being able to do that. I usually, I have the anxiety, get the old anxiousness there. So anyway, we got back here to Los Angeles and all this great food out here.

[Bobby Lee]

So

[Andrew Santino]

it was funny. Like me and my kids were all jet lagged and we're like outside playing baseball at like 6 in the morning. Well, my kids were, I was making them waffles. Then it went out in the side yard and they're like, you know, you know, kids making a bunch of noise. And then I was, I kind of told him to stop. I go, guys, we gotta wait till at least 7. Like construction can't start till 7. I'm sure the same rules apply to playing backyard baseball and. But it was fun, man. I just love that they go outside and do that. They're not like iPad kids. And when I tell, when, you know, whenever I tell them to like, you know, stop watching TV or something, they just go, all right. But anyway, I got in my drum room, I got like a little, I got my drum kit and then I have like a little, A little kit facing it, like a little 20 inch bass drum and shit. So I play this game called Copycat with my kids and they come up with beats or whatever. I'll play something, they try and play it. And I was out doing my son today, man. He's fucking good. He's. He hits the drums like a man. I thought the ball went in. He hits the drums like a man, just like, just throws himself into stuff. I love that about him. But my daughter can already like play a beat and everything, so. And she was telling me the other day there was some song she wanted to learn how to play.

[Bobby Lee]

So

[Andrew Santino]

that's gonna be my summer with them swimming, playing drums and playing baseball. Old school, baby, old school. To combat all of this noise that's going on. So my new move with my, my addiction to my phone, back Instagram, all of that is when I get home, I just take my phone and I just throw it in the bedroom and I go Downstairs. That's it. Just leave it there. And I'm able to go like, you know, 90 minutes. Like 90 minutes. And then I go upstairs and I just check to make sure, you know, I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing, but I've been able to do that.

[Bobby Lee]

So

[Andrew Santino]

I don't know. I like this. I like the challenge of this, like, having a day that's like no stimulants whatsoever, no fucking social media, no coffee, no nothing. Just sitting here, you know. Totally old school. But what but, like, with, like, all the advantages of Today, you know, 58 streaming platforms, 5,000 fucking channels, climate control in your house.

[Bobby Lee]

It's not that bad. It's not that bad.

[Andrew Santino]

But anyway, somebody was trying to tell me that, like, a matcha is three

[Bill Burr]

quarters of the caffeine.

[Andrew Santino]

Is that what it is? I don't know. I'm a mess and I know my brain is all over the place, so I do apologize, but I might end up hitting pause here just because I got to go. Do I have a benefit today at like, five in the afternoon, which is kind of cool with the jet lag shit, but I'm gonna watch the rest of this game. I'm 37 minutes in. Almost to the first half. The first half, first period, dude. Oh, this is the first game. You know, a lot less diving. A lot less diving. I feel like this time around, neither one of these teams is diving at all. But anyway, I'm gonna try to go to one of these World cup games here. I'm not here in la. I'm just thinking, like, when. When the. Is it ever gonna be back in the United States if I ever want to go again? It's gonna be a long journey there, dude. So I'm not gonna lie to you. When I go, I'm just. Whatever. I don't even know what game I'm gonna go to, but I'm just hoping that there's just gonna be, you know, like, just crazy. I get it's stupid to say this, but, like, I just don't want, like, a couple of lame countries, you know, that are just waiting for the hits, you know? You know, like, when you see a band, you only know, like, one song that they play, you're just waiting for Shoot that poison arrow through My heart, you know, just waiting for that song to come along. I'm hoping it's just, like, crazy fans, but, like, nobody getting, like, killed or nothing. Like, back in the day, I was watching this documentary on Rooney coming back, which I Know, I watched before, like, Jesus Christ. Like the way they get into these guys lives. I watched that one and I watched the one with Posh, Spike Spice and David Beckham. They're like the first Instagram couple their whole fucking lives. It was just like they were making some peas and carrots, like the whole fucking world was sitting there watching them. That dude went too far with the tattoos, huh?

[Bill Burr]

Jesus Christ.

[Andrew Santino]

Such a good looking guy. Then he just drew all over himself, like, why would you do that? Like, if anybody should draw all over themselves, it's me, you know, Cover it up, Bill. Jesus Christ.

[Bobby Lee]

No one wants to look at that.

[Andrew Santino]

This guy was walking around, every chick in the world wanted to fucking bang him. Then he just scribbled all over himself right up to his fucking neck. I don't understand, I don't understand getting tattoos to that level. I'm not saying it's wrong, but like, I don't know, like if I was a tattoo artist, like people like that man or woman, I'd just be like, you know, you kind of, you got enough here. Like you're a really good looking person and you're lowering your number here,

[Bobby Lee]

you

[Andrew Santino]

know, like, what are we doing? You're a 10. And by the time you, I'm done drawn on you, you're gonna be like, listen, I'm not saying the tattoos aren't cool, but like, you gotta leave some skin, you gotta have some canvas, little negative space, you fill the whole thing in. What, what am I looking at? Where do you look at that point? You're just like, yeah, you just kept going. I guess they get addicted to him. Jump start. I, I can, I can relate to. Oh, speaking of that, John Parrado. What's going on, brother? It's John Porado at the funny farm. Comedy farm, whatever the it was called, he used to book me at down in Rhode Island. I read his book on the way back. He came out to my show and whoever the I was in Rhode island and he gave me his book. I had no idea that that guy struggled with addiction at all. I had no idea that he was. He struggled with it while I knew him. I had no idea. I had no idea, had no idea

[Bobby Lee]

how long he struggled with it.

[Andrew Santino]

It was one of those books. I sat, I read it on the plane ride back. Now granted, I flew back from London, but you gotta know I'm a slow reader. So let me get you the name of that book here. It's John Parotta, I think it's called How Comedy Becoming a Comedian Saved My life or something like that. And I was like, man, he's being a little dramatic. Maybe to sell some copies. Then I read the story.

[Bill Burr]

It's like, no, he's kinda.

[Andrew Santino]

He's telling the truth. All right, John Porada

[Bill Burr]

book.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, How Comedy Saved My Life. John Parotta. Fucking great book.

[Bill Burr]

I give it two thumbs up.

[Andrew Santino]

Two thumbs up. You know what's funny is, is he, you know, has all these pictures from back in the day before I knew him, but then he has some when he first started booking rooms and he had a flyer in that book of some of the first shows. He used to book these. These dinner and comedy shows at restaurants around in Rhode Island. Like, that's. That's what he hung his hat on. That was his thing. And I used to do those things. And he had a flyer in there and it was like, name. Every, like, name. I remembered all of the, like, just people I hadn't thought of. You know, I hadn't seen him like fucking 30 years. And I saw the names of all of these people on there. I was like, oh, my God. I remember I did gigs and one of them, I was like, I fucking drove to Rhode island with that person before. Really cool book. Anyway, I'm gonna take a break here

[Bobby Lee]

because

[Andrew Santino]

I'm gonna watch these next two games and

[Bobby Lee]

hope people like, who like

[Andrew Santino]

soccer know I'm just fucking around. I do enjoy this sport. And I bet once I'm gonna be fucked once I go to a game. I'm gonna try to go to one this week. I. I deliberately had made sure I had nothing to do this week. Oh my God, what a fucking great breeze. Great breeze coming off the ocean. I'll tell you. People who don't live near water. I don't know how you do it. I mean, I'm terrified of the ocean, but I gotta live near it. You know what I mean? It's got to be there, you know what I mean? Especially, you know, if like an asteroid or a comet breaks into the atmosphere and becomes a meteor or a meteorite. I learned that. I thought there was meteors, meteorites, asteroids, comets and cupids. No, whatever. I thought that those were all different things. But there's like asteroids, which are rocks that go around the sun and somehow they break off or whatever and they just start taking people out. And then comets are like. It's like dust, ice and something else. But anyway, I guess some big one hit in Siberia in 1907, which is incredible. So a meteor, I think is. Is one that makes it a Comet or an asteroid that actually hits the ground in a meteorite is a comet or an asteroid that burns up in the atmosphere. Possibly, I don't know. Hope Billy. Oh, Billy's getting out in front of his skis here. So my son was like jet lagged and he's into space. And so I was on, I was on the computer and we were looking up some stuff and anything that had an explosion he wants to look at, you know, he's a boy. He likes any of that. Space, Godzilla, dinosaurs, sharks, snakes, fucking anything crazy he likes. So we were like looking that up. But anyways, this thing. The reason why I like living near an ocean is as much as I'm afraid of it, like, you know, if some comet comes or a asteroid, whatever, and it just smashes into the ocean and there's like a mile high wall of water, you know, I would just prefer getting hit by that. There's some New York Knicks at the games. Yeah, everybody's showing up. If Brazil's there, come on, you're there for the game and, you know, you're there for the fans. Anyway, what was I going to say? Like, I just want to be as close to ground zero as possible. You know, you got to know who you are. I don't have any Snake Plissken in me. I've always said, you know, if anything's going to hit here, if there's going to be a missile, there's going to be a fucking asteroid, there's like a fucking tsunami. You know, I want to be sitting on here with my fucking feet up on my armwa, just watching some stupid mindless shit, you know, March Madness, just some bread and circus and just be my last words. How the fuck was that? Offsides. And then I'm dead.

[Bill Burr]

I mean, that's.

[Andrew Santino]

I mean, that is the way to go. Not crawling out of the rubble, you know, shredding somebody's bungee cord to try to make sutures, to stitch up your arm, you know, with a Bic pen. I'm not built for that.

[Bill Burr]

Oh, look, the guy in the red shirt. Oh, he was, he was kicking it back to the fucking goalie. I thought, I thought there was a breakaway. I was waiting for the guy to take out his little flag and be like, ah, we will not be having that much fun. You know, I talked to some of these, these, these, these kids on the, the movie I just did over there

[Andrew Santino]

in Ireland, these English guys, and I

[Bill Burr]

was asking them, like, you know, what's. I just don't get, like, I get offsides But I don't get why as a defender, if the defender can stop running and then that puts you off sides, they go, well, you know, if they didn't do that, then guys would just be running down the field and I wanted to be like, yeah. And something would happen. You wouldn't have to sing as many fucking songs. I mean, you can sing fucking the whole Bruce Springsteen catalog between fucking go. Even the solo shit. Alright, it's not that bad. But I'm just saying, just, I'm an American, you know, I need some titties. Fucking car chase a goal. Something's gotta happen here. Um. Uh. Oh, oh, oh. You kicked it right at him, you red cunt. That's another thing too. Then they finally get an opportunity and then they don't get it. What do they do? They put their fucking heads in their hands like they're in a silent movie expressing disappointment. We know your disappointment.

[Andrew Santino]

Disappointed.

[Bill Burr]

We know your disappointment.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm going to shut the fuck up now, all right?

[Bill Burr]

I'm going to

[Andrew Santino]

want to watch these games and go do this show. And through the magic of editing. I'll be right back. All right?

[Bobby Lee]

And I'm back with completely different energy. It's 5:15 in the morning.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Slept to like four. There you go.

[Andrew Santino]

So tomorrow I should be on time.

[Bobby Lee]

That's.

[Andrew Santino]

And that's. And that's one to grow on.

[Bobby Lee]

Benefit went great. Just a really cool show, obviously. Good cause or whatever. And then I came home and I watched the. I'm sorry, I initially said it was Brazil versus England. I meant Norway.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh my God.

[Bobby Lee]

What about that giant Viking in that game? Jesus Christ. He was like amazing and scary at the same time. When he was staring at the crowd, I'm like, wow, this guy's like the Braveheart guy. But then he kind of had like that Frankenstein brow like I do. And I'm like, did they put this guy in the oven long enough? Did he come out a little soon? Anyway, he just absolutely dominated. Anyway, and then I watched. Yeah, England versus Mexico. And that was a wild game. That was a wild game. I'm trying to keep it like it's, it's. I was thinking their goalie was talking in that game. That was the other one, the Brazil go game. And I love when that guy went up to take the penalty and he's talking. The goaltender's talking shit and then the stupid announcers talking about the Brazilian guy going, I don't know what he's talking. Just go up and go shoot.

[Andrew Santino]

It's like the other guy's been running

[Bobby Lee]

his yapped the whole game.

[Andrew Santino]

This is great.

[Bobby Lee]

They're both talking. It's alpha male stuff was fantastic. And then I like when the guy scored the goal and he gave him and the goalie just smiled and laughed

[Andrew Santino]

like, yeah, you got me.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. It's like they're enjoying it and they were able to both able to handle winning or losing in that moment. Just why can't you fucking enjoy that? And I was actually inspired by that. They both totally believed in themselves. They both talked their shit, made the best man win.

[Andrew Santino]

The Brazilian guy got him and you

[Bobby Lee]

know, talked a little more shit as

[Bill Burr]

you would

[Andrew Santino]

and you know, the goalie

[Bill Burr]

laugh, gave him a little playful push.

[Bobby Lee]

That was fucking fantastic. Nothing wrong happened there. Anyway. Jesus Christ. How about that crowd at Aztec Stadium? I'm out.

[Andrew Santino]

I don't like that.

[Bobby Lee]

Throwing beer at people when they score, that's. That's some bush league. But other than that, like the, the energy in that place was fantastic. So now England moves on. They gave got the back to back goals in like under a minute. So much of this reminds me of hockey. You know, as they're announcing the previous goal, you score again

[Andrew Santino]

and you're sitting

[Bobby Lee]

like, what the hell happened, man? We were fucking tied.

[Andrew Santino]

Now we're down by two.

[Bobby Lee]

But I don't know, all I can say is that it's. There's just so much going on that I, I can't talk intelligently about this game because I don't watch it enough. But the World cup has been fantastic. So anyway, yeah, I went down and did a benefit. One of my favorite places in la, the Elation Theater. I did a couple of warm up gigs before. Oh oddly enough I did that soccer place in Rhode Island. So the benefit was there last night for trying to do whatever we can to help out people down in Venezuela. Man, it's brutal. Absolutely brutal. You know, I wish our tax dollars like there's a great foreign policy. Why don't we intervene then when people really do need help instead of liberating them from their natural resources.

[Andrew Santino]

But that's a, that's another conversation.

[Bobby Lee]

Anyway, let me the. Was I talking about. I was gonna try to remind myself.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

The offs, the goal, that is. Then everybody celebrates and then you realize it's offside. That's the world's football's answer to American football, where it seems like every time somebody runs, returns a punt or a kickoff for a touchdown, everybody's going crazy. And then you look and there's always a flag. There's Always some legal push in the. It's coming back.

[Bill Burr]

It's coming back.

[Bobby Lee]

Legal push in the back. I fucking hate when it's a legal push in the back and it's totally away from the play. Had no effect on the play. I wonder how many kickoffs and punt returns are taken away in the history of NFL football. I think more have come back than have actually been allowed. At least that's how it feels. Anyway, let me get to some of the. The advertising for this week. I apologize. You're gonna have to listen to me read out loud here. And of course it goes all the way down to the bottom. Now, this time I clicked on it, I was at the top, and it goes all the way down to the bottom. All right, Quo Everybody. You know when everyone on your team thinks someone else handled it to call the text the follow up. It's like that Spider man meme where they're all painting, pointing at each other. Meanwhile, the customer's just sitting there like, hello. That's how you quietly lose business. So yeah, at a certain point, it's like, let's quo. That's why today's episode is brought to you by Quo. Quo. The business communication system built so you never miss a. I don't know what the word is not there. Your entire team. Or is that the joke? Your entire team can handle calls and texts from one shared number or so no one. Why the didn't I grab my glasses?

[Andrew Santino]

Hang on a second.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, Billy Freckles getting his glasses. Oh, Billy Freckles. This is a 22nd time. This is a water break. This is a water break during the the reads here. All right, I got my glasses on. So anything after this is on me. Your entire team can handle cause calls and texts from one shared number. So no one. No. So no more missed messages are dropped.

[Andrew Santino]

Okay?

[Bobby Lee]

That I don't get too loud.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, look who it is, everybody.

[Bobby Lee]

It's all zip recruiter parentheses. Talk about how according to cnbc, nearly half of Hiring managers say a candidate's enthusiasm about the job is the most important factor when considering them for a role. Oh, fuck you. Did I dance enough for you? Before you get some AI and replace me,

[Andrew Santino]

well, you know what I learned

[Bobby Lee]

when I was overseas? Porridge is oatmeal. I gotta tell you, I don't think there's two more disgusting options as far as names for food. Oatmeal, disgusting porridge. I just. It just seems that just. I'm just getting curdled milk vibes. The fuck do you serve porridge after curds and whey? Well, if you need to hire your business. Well, if you need to hire for your business, how can you separate the candidates who are really excited about your opportunity from the ones that are just meh. ZipRecruiter.

[Bobby Lee]

Mercifully, the ad reads are done. Let's get into the reads for this week now. For some reason it just keeps going down to the bottom. Who knows? All right, World Cup Games Dear Billy Belfast

[Andrew Santino]

I gotta tell you, that city

[Bobby Lee]

really grew on me. I was excited to go there and then I got there and I was there for two days. I'm like this place sucks. Everything closes at five. Did I already say this? And then I figured out where to go and I was like, oh wait a minute. No, I love this place. And I lost my wallet and somebody returned it with all the money in it. So Belfast is good with me. All right, longtime listener here just wanted to write in to share some positive news for once. I attended the Netherlands first Tunisia World cup games in Kansas City this past week and the overall vibe could not have been better. Everyone in KC was super welcoming and Arrowhead Stadium was a fantastic venue. Was always cool to see. It was also cool to see it before it got turned Out, Torn down. Yeah, people are fucking cool. You know, last yet, like yesterday, when I. When. When I went to. I did that benefit, you know, just everybody involved in that banner, the people who put it together, you know, comics that went on stage, I think it was the people that put it together and the comics that went on stage were the same people. The people in the crowd, you know, people are. Most people are empathetic and feel bad when they see something bad happen to somebody and they want to help out. All right. It's just the lizard people at the top making that. You think that there's not enough. Not enough money, not enough places to live, not enough food, not enough jobs.

[Andrew Santino]

The whole.

[Bobby Lee]

It's all recessions, all of it. It's all. Let's see Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk about that. You know, take a break from the molecules, everyone. Why doesn't he explain why some people don't have the empathy molecules? All right. Everyone in KC was super welcoming and Arrowhead Stadium was a fantastic venue. Was also. Cool to see it before it got torn down. I can't believe they're tearing that down.

[Andrew Santino]

64 toss. Power trap.

[Bobby Lee]

Actually, that didn't happen there. I don't think. If it did, it might have been the first year of the stadium. Beyond that, the fans from both teams treated each other with the utmost respect. And everyone just seems so happy to be there. K. Given all the awful things and conflict going on in the country right now, it felt like a real example of how well individual people would get along if it weren't for our leaders. Exactly. What you just saw was reality. What you just saw is what I've seen traveling around the world. The world, the world, the world. People are cool. They're not hateful. They're not mean. You know, they don't care what you're doing as long as you're being cool. Anyways, person says thanks and go fuck yourself. Yeah, I think that's a. That's a great thing. And I think the reality of that, the experience you just have, the experience I've had through traveling and all of that, it's like, why do these world leaders present the exact opposite, you know? And especially us always walking around talking about how we're the fucking beacons of freedom and sucking our own dicks. And then when something actually tragic happens, people actually need help. We don't do anything. The level that we've been fucking with Venezuela, trying to draw them into a war, trying to take over their fucking country and all that, now they actually need help. And what are. The politicians aren't doing shit. All right. I don't know.

[Andrew Santino]

I gotta stop.

[Bobby Lee]

I just keep. I'm feeling like I'm going into my Lenny Bruce years where I'm just gonna be reading the off of a legal pad. All right, MotoGP, everybody.

[Andrew Santino]

Bill, big fan.

[Bobby Lee]

Love your podcast. And stand up. I know you love watching MotoGP. I do as well. But you have to watch Moto 2 and Moto 3. Dude, I got two kids. I gotta pick windows where I can watch this shit. These races are nail biters. I love the Moto3 bikes. For some reason, I feel like I could handle that bike, even though I know I couldn't. But just those skinny tires and shit, it just seems like I wouldn't go flying off the back of it. I don't know. Always three or more riders always battling to the finish line. Give the last two races a look. I'm going to do that. Moto2 in Assen. Did I say it right? Was amazing. And Moto3 in Chechnya was fantastic. These young men are absolutely fearless. A handful of them will be riding in MotoGP next year. Side note, Moto2 bikes all have the same engines, so you really get to see individual rider skill.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

And the pit crew doing whatever they can to give them an extra bit of. Of an edge. All the best. All right, what do we got here? Acting. It says, hey, Bill, if you could act opposite one actor who is dead, who would it be and what kind of scene would it be? Take your time answering. We have all day. One actor who is dead. Oh, my God. Two.

[Andrew Santino]

One. Holy.

[Bobby Lee]

So, basically, the entire history of Hollywood and all of these amazing actors. I mean, I don't even know where to begin. I mean, I would. John Cassavetes. I mean, John Cassavete, Peter Falk, and Gina Rollins.

[Andrew Santino]

Karen Black.

[Bobby Lee]

A lot of them would be female because the dynamic of being actually in, like, a relationship with them beyond just like, a friend or a worker, but the whole male, female dynamic,

[Andrew Santino]

Fuck, there's so many.

[Bobby Lee]

I just loved, like, those three in particular and the choices they made and the projects that they made. I mean, Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart, and you just got the stars like Bronson, Lee Marvin,

[Andrew Santino]

Dude.

[Bobby Lee]

Elizabeth taylor, who's afraid of virginia woolf? Peter sellers. I don't know. I honestly can't answer. I think I would be in a John Cassavetes movie with Peter Falk and Gina Rollins,

[Andrew Santino]

Man. Robert Duvall.

[Bobby Lee]

Fuck, yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

[Andrew Santino]

I don't know what to tell you on that one.

[Bobby Lee]

That is just, that is for me, that's like when you see nerds talking about the universe expanding. And I also, my knowledge of actors is, you know, like, I grew up watching sports and movies and shit like that. That's why, you know, I missed a lot of movies. Some of the more popular ones, like, I was trying to explain that to somebody younger where it was just like, dude, if you missed a movie, you just missed it. And TV was TV and movies were movies and that was it. And the reason why I know all those old school guys is because, you know, we. I

[Andrew Santino]

grew up, you know, it just

[Bobby Lee]

was like your parents taking you to the movies every weekend was just not something that was done. Like, everybody's parents were working. You worked all day, you just left.

[Andrew Santino]

And there was no cell phones.

[Bobby Lee]

They just left.

[Andrew Santino]

Latchkey generation, you know.

[Bobby Lee]

So, Yeah, I, I just, I. The movies I watched were the, like the Sunday night movies and the. That was on WLVI TV56 and WSBK TV38. So once a year they would show Kelly's Heroes, the Dirty Dozen, the Bridge on the River Kwai, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Like, I just grew up watching those movies. And occasionally like something you missed in the movies, they would then edit for TV like five years later. And people would be freaking out, like,

[Andrew Santino]

oh my God,

[Bobby Lee]

like one of the Peter Sellers Pink Panthers movies is the, the Sunday night movie of the week. Or if they made like a made for TV movie. Like the level that it was hyped and how many people watched it. Like, probably the biggest one when I was growing up was this movie made for TV movie the day after.

[Andrew Santino]

And it was about a nuclear holocaust. And.

[Bobby Lee]

And people really got like, up like watching it and, and they, they had like teachers were like talking to kids and shit, you know, so they could handle.

[Andrew Santino]

Was funny.

[Bobby Lee]

Like the analog part of my life. It was way more like, simple obviously, because I was younger and had less responsibilities. But like, as much as it was simple, like when was big, it was

[Andrew Santino]

like everybody saw it, it was huge. I don't know how to explain it to

[Bobby Lee]

kids today, but just imagine if there was like seven websites and seven websites only. And there was only like whatever time you, you went on those websites, whatever was that was on, that's all that was on. You didn't have an infinite amount of things that you could click. You didn't have your own personal algorithm. It's like, no, this is what we're showing. And if you're on this website, this is what you're watching. And everybody on the website is watching this. Like, shows used to get, like hit shows used to get a. Like a 30 share, which was a third of the. Allegedly a third of the country was watching the show. And now I don't know what happened. We've all spun off into our own little worlds. Believe me. It was always filtered, it was always controlled. But the ability to control what somebody thought was a lot more. I mean, they've always been good at it, but, you know, using racism, nationalism, homophobia, sexism, and all of that just to keep us divided. And. But like, there was like the, The. The. The level of like, critical thinking back then, and it was actually like, encouraged. It's kind of frightening now how they. They're kind of in the. I think they're in the process of turning all of us. Like, you know, when you just see, like, extreme poverty. Like, I remember seeing this footage of when the train that was bringing Bobby Kennedy's body back to the east coast, they brought it back by train. And everyone was standing on the side of the tracks or on the platforms, and as they'd go through cities, you'd see every. In the crowded platforms. And I just remember this one thing that just stuck out. It was this poor white family. And like, the kids had no shoes and. And like, no shirts. They just had, like, rags on.

[Andrew Santino]

Like, that level of fucking poverty.

[Bobby Lee]

And then also, like, that level of, like, back then, like, you. You were just sort of whatever you could get out of your TVs, whatever

[Andrew Santino]

you could get out of it.

[Bobby Lee]

But whatever you lived, if you lived in the middle of nowhere and you were that level broke, like, your world view and. And the stuff that you knew or didn't know was astounding. And I feel like they're able to do that now with people that live in cities, with museums, right down the street, all different religions in, like. It used to be, if you lived in a city, like, the experience that you got. Even the difference between living in the suburbs and living, like. Obviously I moved from the suburbs to, like, New York City. And just like the life experience change of that that I got, like, how much my brain expanded by being exposed to that many different people in, like, cultures and races and all of that stuff. I feel like all of this shit now, that way you can just kind of go off on your own fucking trip into this stuff. I don't know. I just feel like they're just dumbing us, Like, mentally. We're all gonna be like, that heartbreaking family that I saw, like, that level of poverty, you know, like what big business did to West Virginia. That's one of the. One of the most gorgeous states I've ever been in. And I've never seen, like, just collectively an entire state getting the level that that state got. And then what does everybody do? They turn around regular people and they make fun of people in West Virginia rather than being like, those people are us. Like, why did you do that to them? Anyway? I think my answer was John Cassavetes, George C. Scott.

[Andrew Santino]

I mean, come on, people.

[Bobby Lee]

You can't just do that. Yeah, all of those. Yeah, all of those people back then, all the way up to, like, Chadwick

[Bill Burr]

Boseman,

[Bobby Lee]

you know, I just saw them in the Black Panther stuff. And then I watched. I'm so bad at remembering the names of the movies, but I watched this movie that it looked like a play, and it was about these musicians. It's a period piece. And his acting in that, I was like, oh, my God. Jesus Christ. He was phenomenal. So, yeah, that's. That's too big. It's a great question, though. Great question, because it made me think about all the great movies I've watched. Anyway. All right, well, that is the podcast, everyone. I don't know my. It's early here. All right, let's just close it, as we always do. Go yourself. I'll check in on you on Thursday. And I don't know, keep fighting the good fight. There's these CEO suited cunts steer us into the sun. All right, I'll see you.

[Bill Burr]

Hey, I'm Andrew Santino. And I'm Bobby Lee. And we made something completely insane. We. We took celebrities, we put them in my mom's basement, we throw trivia at them, we hit them with absurd challenges. And then just when they think they know what's happening, we blow the whole ting a pot.

[Bobby Lee]

Nobody knows the rules.

[Andrew Santino]

We barely know the rules.
