joe rogan
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Yeehaw, Bill Burr!
What's going on?
You're looking very slick.
You look like a professional man.
bill burr
Oh, I was doing television this morning.
As I mentioned to you, I just did Colin Cowherd's show and I run out of button-down shirts that I could wear on TV. Because I always go button-down jeans and whatever, nice pair of shoes.
I'm not a sport coat guy, but I was just like...
I had to go back and Google image myself on the show going, what did I wear last time?
I couldn't tell what black shirt I had on.
I was like, oh God, I gotta throw a sport coat on.
So I'm sure I'll get trashed for that.
Like, what are you all, Hollywood now, man?
Trying to look good?
So, yeah, that's why I'm dressed up here.
I'm the best-dressed man in podcasting today.
joe rogan
You are right now, for sure, at this moment.
unidentified
That's right.
joe rogan
I'm amazed that you actually looked to check to see if you were wearing the same shirt.
Yeah.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Do you do that for yourself?
bill burr
No, no, because the internet.
It's just the internet is non-stop shit.
It's like, why help them out?
I mean, it's like, if you're going to trash me, it's like, I'm going to make you work for it.
I'm not going to give you the layup.
joe rogan
It's such a mild trashing.
I mean, it's coming from me.
I dress like a fucking idiot.
bill burr
No, I mean, it just, you know, it just is what it is.
It's just like, for whatever reason, I mean, I... I don't know.
I get a kick out of doing stuff like that.
Like, ah, which way are they going to come at me today?
Just make them better at it.
joe rogan
Oh, I see.
bill burr
Because I don't want to do the, ah, you're bald-headed, blah, blah, blah.
It's like every fucking day.
But just get somebody to come at you in a unique way.
If they get me in a unique way, it actually makes me laugh, and then there's entertainment for me, but if it's the same old tired shit, I don't know.
joe rogan
They get me lately for my socks.
I didn't know that you're not supposed to have socks that kind of cover your ankles.
Like, these are acceptable.
These socks are acceptable socks.
See that?
Because they're kind of tucked away.
bill burr
Dude, those were women's socks when we were kids.
And they had a little ball on a little bunny rabbit tail on the end.
They were the Chris Everts.
joe rogan
What happened?
Remember, you should have calf-high socks.
Those were the shit.
bill burr
Calf-high socks and your shorts barely covered your junk.
That was it.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Now everybody's shorts go down their knees and their socks are non-existent.
bill burr
Yeah, but the shorts are coming back up and I don't like that.
joe rogan
You don't like it?
bill burr
No.
There's...
There's been a lot of that.
And then there's the anti-man man who's so comfortable with his masculinity.
You know those hipster douchebags?
So they're literally wearing the old running shorts with the slit going up the side, like Macho Camacho.
joe rogan
Really?
bill burr
Oh yeah.
joe rogan
Who the fuck's wearing those?
bill burr
Not a bunch, but I've just seen enough.
And you just look at the whole thing, it's like they literally look like...
They're going to go do some Ron Burgundy sketch or something, but it's how they walk around and they act like, oh no, I like these shorts.
joe rogan
I put a picture of my sneakers and my socks on Instagram the other day, which is not a smart move anyway.
Like, why did I even do that?
I just went running for three miles and my sneakers and socks were covered with dirt.
But the amount of people that just shit on my socks...
bill burr
What's wrong if they cover your ankles?
joe rogan
That's it.
What's wrong with those socks?
bill burr
I don't know, but there is something wrong with them.
I can't put my finger on it.
unidentified
It's that ribbing.
bill burr
I don't like them either.
unidentified
It's that ribbing around the...
bill burr
You know, it's ribbed for her pleasure at the top, and then your sneakers, too.
If you're going to go run in dirt, those are the ones that do it.
They look very artsy, though.
That looks like some shit my wife would appreciate if it was on a canvas.
You know?
joe rogan
The socks?
bill burr
No, the design on your sneakers.
joe rogan
Oh, on the sneakers.
bill burr
You know that modern art thing?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
The lines go this way and then they go that way, much like life.
And then they intersect, you know, that type of shit.
And it's just like, why don't you just draw a house?
joe rogan
Do you ever go to LACMA? The L.A. County Museum?
Don't go.
You'll go crazy.
bill burr
No, I don't.
You know, I think the most important...
I would enjoy the tram ride up.
Like, this is fun.
This is cool.
I feel like I'm in an amusement park.
unidentified
It'll infuriate you.
bill burr
Yeah, there's a lot of like chicly dressed older women with like ridiculously weird glasses.
Like the color of the frames is always some, you know, some statement, you know what I mean?
Some splash of color to let you know that they have a personality.
joe rogan
Yeah, and the lenses are huge.
bill burr
I'm probably just intimidated.
joe rogan
No, you're not intimidated.
It's nonsense.
I went there and there, I mean, we've talked about this before, but there was a box, like a plexiglass box on the ground.
That's it.
An amber plexiglass box.
And I thought it was like some sort of a, like maybe a stand, and then like the exhibits going in on, nope, nope, nope.
The box was the art.
That's it.
bill burr
Right.
joe rogan
Nothing in it.
bill burr
Every art form has that.
Every art form has their plastic box.
Like, no, this is stand-up.
joe rogan
There it is right there.
bill burr
This is a stand-up comedy special.
unidentified
Look at that.
bill burr
Oh, well, it's kind of amber, a little like...
joe rogan
I mean, I guess.
bill burr
...the Vistolite?
joe rogan
I guess, but it's just a fucking box.
I mean, it looks like something you would go get at Crate and Barrel.
bill burr
I could build that.
joe rogan
You easily could build that.
bill burr
You give me some glue, and you give me the pieces.
joe rogan
Meanwhile, it's probably worth 30 grand.
bill burr
I know, and it's just like, I would literally put my feet on that in a second.
joe rogan
You should.
bill burr
You know, you got this book in front of me here, Dear Reader, Kim Jong-il.
He looks like the kind of person you'd run into in a museum if he had sexier glasses.
That lunatic will probably somehow hear this and actually go out and get some.
You know, that he's skinned off of a dog.
joe rogan
He's dead.
bill burr
That's not his son?
joe rogan
No, that's the dad.
bill burr
What's his son's name?
joe rogan
Kim Jong-un.
bill burr
Oh!
Well, it's definitely his kid.
They look just alike.
joe rogan
Did you see that?
bill burr
They are chowing.
How many dumplings do they have a fucking day?
Everybody else in the country is fucking emaciated, looking like they just finished the Tour de France.
These guys are walking around.
joe rogan
Plump.
bill burr
Yeah, like they're on their sick kid dad bods.
They're so smooth and hairless, too.
They're just fucking creepy.
I love them.
joe rogan
Did you see that...
What's that guy's name?
Basquiat?
How do you say that guy's name?
Basquiat?
That Basquiat painting that went for $110 million?
No, it didn't.
Yes, it did.
You want to see what $110 million buys you?
Want to get grossed out?
This Japanese gentleman who bought it is some super billionaire character who apparently has another one that he spent 50-something million on.
bill burr
Yeah, that's when you're like eating endangered species for breakfast.
joe rogan
Look at that stupid fucking painting.
That's $110 million.
bill burr
I mean, that looks like some shit I drew when I was a kid and my parents put it on the refrigerator like, yeah, yeah, that's great.
There should be like notebook, like, you know, that confetti that hangs off the side?
joe rogan
Yeah, what's with the tic-tac-toe on his head, too?
What's that about?
He's got tic-tac-toe on his head.
bill burr
Hey, Joe, it's whatever you want it to mean, man.
It's art.
It's up to your own interpretation.
I like the blue.
I always found blue to be soothing.
The guy looks a little disturbed.
joe rogan
Look at the left corner.
bill burr
Was that him trying to find his place within the blue skies of white America?
joe rogan
It's like the left corner.
bill burr
Is that what it is?
joe rogan
He was a little kid and he fucked up and he just scratched over it.
Like the A and the B, but he made the B backwards and went shit.
And so he just scratched over it and just left it there.
Like, look at that.
What is that?
bill burr
It's whatever you want it to be.
joe rogan
$110 million, that's what it is.
bill burr
And there you go, that's LACMA right there.
They would kill to have that piece hanging in there.
And there would be all kinds of women with weird glasses riding that tram up there to go look at it.
Rub their chins.
joe rogan
With their gay friends.
Look at him.
Look at that guy.
Lost bastard.
bill burr
No, he's killing it, dude.
joe rogan
You think so?
bill burr
Yeah, look at him.
He's in great shape.
joe rogan
Look at that haircut.
bill burr
No, definitely no conditioner, huh?
joe rogan
No.
bill burr
I can't tell if his hair's just starting to go gray.
Yeah, but isn't that like a billionaire genius?
Like you're so good at business that you forget to put conditioner in your hair?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
And you got like sleep coming out of your eye?
Like Bill Gates.
Some hottie just like fucking hoses you off in the morning?
Just wear this.
I can't.
I just keep thinking.
joe rogan
There was a video that I watched the other day of Elon Musk from 1998 when he was first becoming a billionaire and he bought a million dollar car and he had his million dollar car delivered with his girlfriend at the time who he got rid of.
bill burr
I was going to say, at the same time, and you're my girlfriend.
Put her in the trunk.
joe rogan
But it's so funny to see him as this young dork who's, you know, just making shit tons of money, and his hair's all goofy, and he has this million-dollar car delivered.
bill burr
Who's this?
joe rogan
Elon Musk.
The guy owns Tesla.
bill burr
Oh, Tesla.
Okay.
joe rogan
Did you see what he's doing now?
But the video's hilarious.
Have you seen what he's doing now?
The boring company?
Do you know what that is?
bill burr
They make like electric jets or something?
joe rogan
No, they're boring holes underneath Los Angeles.
He's gonna bore these earthquake-proof tunnels, and they're gonna put sleds on these tunnels that go 125 miles an hour.
So you drive onto the sled, it locks you in, and it shoots you from like downtown LA to wherever the fuck you're going.
Is this it, Jamie?
So this is how it works.
You drive onto this sled, It drops you down.
bill burr
This guy just gets it.
joe rogan
Look at this.
It drops you down below the surface of the earth.
bill burr
Now, what are these?
Oh, there's other sleds.
joe rogan
These are sleds.
So your car is in this sled.
bill burr
That is fucking amazing!
I want that to happen!
joe rogan
It's gonna happen.
This crazy fucker, he's gonna make it.
And these sleds, I mean, you can't crash into anybody, so they can go stupid fast.
So they're going 125 miles an hour.
bill burr
Now, now, now.
They're created by men, so at some point, somebody's gonna not tighten something down.
joe rogan
Well, those Teslas don't have the best service, like, record, as far as, or reliability record.
Sam Harris has broke down twice already.
And I know another guy who got one and the handle stopped coming out.
Like, you know, you go near it and the handle comes out.
bill burr
You gotta break into your own electric car.
joe rogan
But look at this.
Another guy gets to get in there.
There's gonna be a line, traffic jammed to get onto these fucking things.
But look at this passageway system that he's devising.
It's gonna be crazy.
There's gonna be these passageways all throughout the bottom of the earth.
So underneath the surface of Los Angeles would be all these trees.
But of course it's going to cave in, right?
It's got to somehow compromise the structure of the city, right?
andy stumpf
All those buildings sitting on top of it?
bill burr
I don't know.
If anybody can figure it out, I think that's beyond my background.
You know what's even more amazing than that is that Japanese billionaire looked like the Japanese Charles Bronson.
If you go back...
I love Charles Bronson.
joe rogan
He does a little bit.
unidentified
He does.
bill burr
He looks tough.
joe rogan
Like Charles Bronson in The Mechanic?
Like that one?
bill burr
I've seen all his fucking movies.
I love all that.
I've even watched his cologne ad that he did over there.
joe rogan
He did a cologne ad?
bill burr
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Where'd he do it?
bill burr
You saw the softer side of him.
Oh, yeah.
He was taking his shirt off.
He was spinning around this apartment.
Really?
Yeah, it was very not Charles Bronson.
That's back...
When stars would do...
For some reason, only in this country it hurt your career if you did a commercial, but you could always...
Overseas...
You know, do something like that.
joe rogan
It used to hurt their career, but it doesn't seem to anymore.
bill burr
No, not only does it not, now it's like a move.
Now it's like, why aren't you just going up, vacuuming up this cash?
joe rogan
Yeah, like now Matthew McConaughey, look at him.
bill burr
Look at that, I'm telling you, I nailed it.
He's got a Charles Bronson, he's got to work on the hair though.
He's got the fucking mustache.
joe rogan
He's a little too humble with his smile.
He needs to be a little more solemn.
Just accept the fact you're a baller billionaire who pays $110 for a stupid painting.
bill burr
You know what?
Going back to it, he does look a little lost.
Or maybe he just doesn't like his picture taken.
I'm always looking to give somebody the benefit of the fucking doubt here.
joe rogan
Or maybe he's realizing that he just spent $110 million on a stupid fucking painting.
bill burr
What did it sell for the last time?
joe rogan
I don't know.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
That's interesting.
That's a good question.
bill burr
I wonder what he saw in it.
joe rogan
See if you can find that commercial.
The Charles Bronson cologne commercial.
I want to see that.
It's gotta be online.
bill burr
Why would you tell people that you bought that and then that's in your house?
Like, did nobody learn anything from the fucking Kardashians?
Look at all the jewelry I got.
Next thing you know, you're facedown with a fucking gun to the back of your head.
You gotta watch out with that.
This guy's fucking...
He's got 110...
That was like a million dollar ring.
He's got like a 110 million dollar...
Piece of art.
joe rogan
Well, the crazy thing about the Kardashian thing was that it was in Paris, and she brought security with her.
She had security with her.
And they figured out how to get past security.
bill burr
Yeah, but everything's better in Europe.
Isn't that what everybody says?
The criminals are better than our security.
unidentified
I'm joking.
joe rogan
So there's Charles Bronson.
Oh, this is Charles Bronson laid in his life, too.
This is like Death's Wish Charles Bronson.
bill burr
Yeah, Paul Kersey.
unidentified
It's like a mini movie.
Really?
bill burr
Yes.
joe rogan
What was this for?
What country?
bill burr
Somewhere like in Japan.
joe rogan
Really?
bill burr
Yeah.
He definitely didn't do it here.
joe rogan
What a weird guy at the gate.
Good night, Mr. Bronson.
Sleep tight.
unidentified
He's driving off.
bill burr
Drives like a man.
Now, all of a sudden, it gets, uh...
unidentified
Here we go.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
This is strange.
It gets a pipe out.
bill burr
Tastes his shirt off.
joe rogan
What in the fuck is this?
unidentified
This is a man getting paid.
joe rogan
He's got his pipe on and his shirt off and he's by himself.
bill burr
Yeah, but you didn't realize how jacked this guy was?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
bill burr
For back then.
joe rogan
Not only then, he was probably like 60 at the time.
Like, Charles Bronson, I believe, when he...
bill burr
You watching the Tarantino shit here with him shooting guns and stuff?
joe rogan
This is late in his career, too.
I'm telling you, he might have been 60 here.
Because when he was in Hard Times, he was 50. Mandom.
Mandom.
bill burr
That's beyond...
That's the kingdom of a man, what he's putting on him there.
Mandom.
joe rogan
1976, it says?
Find out when Hard Times was.
Oh, Japanese.
There you go.
Mandom.
bill burr
Mandom.
And that works over there.
joe rogan
Hard times was what?
75. So he was 51 when he did that.
Wow.
bill burr
Checked.
joe rogan
In the range.
Yeah, look at him in hard times.
He was fucking ripped.
bill burr
I bet they sold a ton of that.
joe rogan
Look at that.
That's a 50-year-old man.
No HGH. No testosterone.
Just fucking push-ups.
Sit-ups and drinking milk.
bill burr
He grew up in a...
Didn't he work in mines and stuff in Poland or something?
Yeah.
All those guys back then, you know...
What I like about those old movies, so many of them, is when you watch an army movie from back then, you're watching someone who was in the army and shot at people.
So it's like they actually...
You know, Lee Marvin, he was like one of two people to survive in his platoon.
Was he really?
Yeah, got shot and stuff.
I think it was a sciatic nerve issue or something from where he got shot or something.
This guy literally...
Actors weren't, you know...
What they are now, where it was a lot of pretend.
I mean, Jesus, we've been over in Iraq for 15 years.
I'm sure you could, like, there's going to be, the next Lee Marvins are going to come out of that.
joe rogan
Maybe.
bill burr
Maybe, I don't know.
I just say things, Joe.
joe rogan
I do, too.
Who was that one guy that was, like, one of the first original movie stars, and he was a World War II veteran?
Audie Murphy?
Was that his name?
unidentified
There was a guy who was a famous war hero who became a movie star.
bill burr
Yeah, most of them were veterans because of the level of the draft, but then it becomes, what did you do when you were there?
Some of them, you know, they were in infrastructure or whatever, and then there's other people that were actually up front.
joe rogan
Yeah, Audie Murphy.
This is the guy.
He became a movie star.
bill burr
Well, look at all this stuff on his coat.
He must have done something over there.
joe rogan
He was a decorated...
Okay, this is one of the most decorated American combat soldiers in World War II. And then single-handedly held off an entire German...
bill burr
That's the guy who ran up with the grenade.
joe rogan
...of German soldiers for an hour.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
So then he came back and became a movie star.
And people knew he enjoyed a 21-year acting career.
And then it just stopped.
bill burr
Wow.
Well, didn't he win the Congressional Medal of Honor?
Most people don't win that and they're still alive.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
So back then, that was like a celebrity.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
You had to hold off an entire platoon, a German platoon too, who makes Porsches and Mercedes.
You know their level of guns that they had over there?
Our machine guns overheated and theirs didn't, so if you killed a German guy, you threw away the American shit and picked up their stuff.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Isn't that crazy?
bill burr
Yeah, one of my favorite quotes ever, one of the German tank commanders was saying, every one of their, were their panzers?
Is that what theirs was called?
And I was with the Sherman tanks?
A German Tiger.
A Tiger was worth like four American tanks, but the Americans always had five.
We just totally McDonald's them, like billions and billions served.
We just kept cranking it out.
It was like, we got him, right?
And then it'd always be that last one coming over the hill.
joe rogan
Well, they had some massive cannon in World War I that apparently it took like a hundred men to move this enormous fucking cannon.
And Dan Carlin was talking about it in hardcore history.
What's that?
bill burr
A hundred blue-eyed men to move it.
They wouldn't let anybody without blue eyes move the thing.
joe rogan
Did Hitler even have blue eyes?
unidentified
No, he didn't.
joe rogan
Isn't that weird?
He was a dark-haired guy.
bill burr
No, he didn't.
He looks like a cab driver in Germany.
He was everything he hated.
That was the funny thing about him.
Was not a good dancer.
If you ever saw him do his victory jigs, evidently was afraid of dogs.
unidentified
Really?
bill burr
I'm just repeating shit that people said.
joe rogan
German Shepherds.
It is amazing the kind of engineering that German people have come up with.
I mean, you think about Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, BMW, all of that out of this one part of the world.
bill burr
No, and they, evidently, a lot of the leaders felt, uh, oh my god.
joe rogan
Look at that fucking cannon.
What is that thing called?
Most powerful gun ever built.
Heavy Gustav railway gun.
So they put this thing on, it looks like it's on tractor tires.
Like, it looks like a tractor, right?
And they're, I guess they drove this thing up.
But the way Dan Carlin describes it is incredible.
Like this unbelievable shockwave.
Everybody would have to run a mile away when the thing was going off and plug your ears up just because it would blow your eardrums literally apart.
bill burr
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Yeah, they show this thing going off?
bill burr
What's wrong with people?
How is war still legal?
I just don't get how that's legal.
You know what I mean?
Like, I can't walk into a bar, you know, and punch somebody in the face.
Or if they punch me, we, like, fucking go to jail.
But, like, this shit is, like...
Can't these leaders just kind of solve things amongst themselves?
joe rogan
No.
bill burr
They can't carve it up a little?
Just, all right, listen, you take the Philippines and...
joe rogan
No.
bill burr
You give us Guam for the, like, you know, owners of football teams.
joe rogan
Isn't it amazing that, I mean, that we even have what's legal and what's not legal?
I mean, what does that mean?
We wrote it down on paper, we all agreed.
I mean, think about the shit that is and isn't legal.
The fact that war's on that list at all.
bill burr
I like laws.
joe rogan
Do you?
bill burr
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like what ones?
bill burr
You can't beat the shit out of me.
Can't come into my house and take my stuff.
What am I going to do?
What am I honestly going to do about it?
joe rogan
I was thinking about that when I was watching the UFC this past weekend.
I was watching this frightful beating that Alexander Gustafson put on Glover Teixeira, and it was just a ruthless knockout.
Just fucking vicious beatdown and then eventually stopped him.
And I was thinking, it's kind of crazy that these guys agree to do this.
They agree to do this, everybody signs away, and then you go do something that anywhere else in the world you would get locked up for.
bill burr
That happens in hockey every once in a while where somebody goes too far and then the government gets involved.
joe rogan
Really?
bill burr
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, what do they do?
bill burr
If you hit somebody in the head with a stick, that goes outside the boundaries of setting the tone.
joe rogan
That seems like a pussy move, though.
Hit him with a stick.
You're supposed to punch.
bill burr
It's so weird when you got the stick in your hand.
It's just the shit that you sometimes think of doing.
Guys spear each other in the balls.
They fucking whack at the back.
There's no padding behind your legs.
Just imagine that.
Just taking a wood stick with NHL-level strength and just giving someone a two-hander to the back.
They break people's fingers.
Crosby almost took somebody's finger off this year.
joe rogan
If they get too far, if they just open the rules up a little bit, you know what's going to happen?
They're going to bring in figure skaters.
They're going to teach them taekwondo.
They're gonna cut people's fucking heads off with the skates.
bill burr
Well, dude, you're spinning heel kick, man.
If you ever learned how to skate, you'd be fucking dangerous.
If you ever did that with skates on, that would be it.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
If you teach that to somebody...
Teach that to somebody with skates?
I mean, if you could hit someone with a hockey stick, why can't you hit them with a skate?
Like, where are we drawing the line here?
bill burr
You can't hit them with a stick.
joe rogan
But they do it.
If somebody does it to you...
bill burr
No, no, they slash and they do stuff like that.
You can't club somebody over...
joe rogan
Even slashing.
So, okay, I'll just slash your leg out.
bill burr
What would you rather have?
Would you rather get hit by a piece of wood, you know, and have a bruise there, or have somebody slash you with their skates?
joe rogan
I would absolutely rather get hit by the piece of wood, but I shouldn't get hit by the piece of wood.
I don't play hockey, but if I did play hockey, I'd be pretty pissed if somebody hit me with a stick.
I'd be like, you fucking pussy.
And I'd want to hit him with my skate.
bill burr
You'd be like the second coming of Ty Domi.
You have the exact same build.
He's a fucking guy who somehow was like my height and was considered a heavyweight fighter.
And he's the guy, according to him, He came up with the grab them right underneath your collar and then turn all the way sideways because he didn't have the reach advantage.
And then he would wait for them to throw, he'd duck under and then come over the top.
And dude, I met him...
One time.
Great fucking guy.
And he's got...
He has, like, your hands.
You know your hands?
You make like that and it turns into a hammer.
It's the same thing.
He has, like, these inexplicable, like, bare fucking paws.
And I might be a little taller than him.
Wow.
And I remember when he tried to show me, when he grabbed the front of my shirt to show me, like, I literally felt like an adrenaline.
joe rogan
Flashback?
bill burr
I hope this guy doesn't snap.
No, he's one of the, like, he's one of the toughest guys that ever...
Ever played.
joe rogan
Well, you know, when Rocky Marciano was a heavyweight champion, he was only 185 pounds.
He was 185 pounds and he was 5'10".
And he was a heavyweight champ.
bill burr
That's because it wasn't Tim Hortons on everybody's...
every fucking corner.
They weren't feeding cows to other cows.
They'd be like, go ahead and eat it.
See what happens.
Dude, have you seen kids hit puberty at like eight now?
joe rogan
Yeah, they're huge.
bill burr
Eight or nine, you gotta like teach them how to shave.
I mean, I don't know what is in...
joe rogan
Hormones.
bill burr
Who knows what it is?
But it's no longer...
Monsanto changed their name.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
What do they know?
bill burr
I don't know.
That's the genius of it, because then you don't know.
The same way Halliburton changed.
Blackwater did, too.
The same way Nissan changed from Datsun.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, that's right.
I wonder why they did that.
Datsun, they made some good cars.
bill burr
They always go over the cliff.
joe rogan
Toyota did that, too, with Lexus.
bill burr
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding with the Datsun.
I want to get fucking sued.
joe rogan
Honda and Toyota in this country, they both do the same thing.
They have this weird division where they make a luxury brand for Americans.
You know, they don't do, like, Acura and Honda, they don't do that in Japan.
Like, if you buy an NSX in Japan, which is their top-end car, it's a Honda.
It's a Honda NSX. Okay.
But in America, we're like, no.
You need something.
You need a better name.
bill burr
No, but we have the space.
Are you saying that they can't get a luxury car over there?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
bill burr
Oh, that's just the name.
joe rogan
They changed the name in America.
Because we don't want to buy a Toyota.
We assume a Toyota's a cheap car.
So they go, okay, well, we're going to make a different brand of Toyota and call it Alexis.
And everybody's like, okay, we're in.
As long as you change the name.
bill burr
Oh, okay.
I was literally going to make up without any research that because they were on an island...
joe rogan
They don't have anywhere to drive.
bill burr
They don't have anywhere to drive, so they don't let them have the fast cars.
Even that guy with $110 billion to buy a picture.
joe rogan
He's got nowhere to go.
bill burr
No, he has like a Civic.
He can't spend his money on cars, so that's why he buys the Yard.
joe rogan
You're a car guy, though.
You know they have pretty fast cars.
I mean, they have ridiculously fast cars.
They have the GT-R. It's one of the fastest cars in the world.
bill burr
I know, but I've never been there.
joe rogan
To Japan?
bill burr
Yeah, I just started to listen to what you were saying, and then that whole theory developed in my head.
joe rogan
Japan is small, but it's not that small.
bill burr
No, it isn't.
Can I mention F is for Family that it came out today?
Today.
That's why I'm here.
That's why I dragged you out of bed or whatever you were doing to do the special podcast here, which I appreciate.
joe rogan
Season two.
bill burr
Season two of F is for Family is available to stream all of it.
It took us a year to make it, and you can devour it in five hours.
joe rogan
Wow.
bill burr
If you have food delivered.
And then you can ask me when's season three coming out, which is what I hope you ask me, because that would mean that you enjoyed it.
joe rogan
I love this fucking show.
It's a hilarious show.
bill burr
Oh, thank you.
joe rogan
I'm looking forward to this season.
bill burr
It's fun, and I work with great people, thank God, because if I didn't, the amount of work that it would actually be misery, but it isn't.
joe rogan
It's a lot of work, though.
How much work does it take you?
Like, it takes a year to make, but how long does it take you?
bill burr
Well, I mean, the writer's room is like a, you know, like a 10-week, 11-week thing, and then you're recording as you go, and then you're looking at...
You know, the first drawings of it where they sort of rough it out and be like, no, no, I have Frank standing over here and Sue's over here and it just kind of, you just keep, then you rewrite and then you're watching stuff and it doesn't play and then you rewrite it and it just, yeah, it takes a year, dude.
It takes like 10 months and then the last two months is just going, okay, deciding on strategies on how they're going to promote it.
Which amazed me, because I'm like, well, we'll fucking do what we always do.
But, like, this business just changes so rapidly that even how we promoted it when it first came out in December 2015, you know, which was almost 2016, so now we're in 2017. Like, it's...
a bunch of other stuff has changed since then, so I don't know.
joe rogan
Like, what's changed?
Like, what do you mean?
bill burr
I fucking knew you were gonna ask me that.
unidentified
Sorry.
joe rogan
Should I just let you go?
unidentified
I can't...
What was it?
joe rogan
No more questions.
bill burr
No, they would just go in, like, they brought me in, maybe this was my stand-up special, that's what they brought me in, and they showed, they basically showed me how everybody's Netflix screen is different.
Like, yours is different, your homepage is different, because it's all, they're just watching you watch TV, or they got this fucking thing that watches it, so the only way our screen, our top whatever, would be the exact same is if we watched the exact same shit At the same time, and maybe even the same age group, I have no idea, but I was blown away by that.
Like, I just thought like, you know, I would look and be, oh man, my special's on the cover of Netflix.
It's like, no, it's on the cover of yours.
And whoever else is in that vibe of like, you're going to like this.
joe rogan
I have three different profiles.
I have one profile, and then I have one profile for each of my kids.
bill burr
Okay.
joe rogan
So I see different stuff.
So I see that.
So if I go to my kids' homepage, like if they want to watch a show that they watch, and I go there, I see just a bunch of little kids' shows.
I don't ever see anything that I watch.
I go to mine, I see House of Cards, I see your special, I see other people's specials.
So yeah, that's what they do.
They're very smart with their algorithms, but what I don't like is this fucking thumbs up, thumbs down bullshit.
bill burr
Can't do that.
joe rogan
What's that?
bill burr
I was joking about that on my podcast.
It's like Adolf Hitler, thumbs down.
Orange juice after brushing your teeth, thumbs down.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's true.
bill burr
Ice cream, thumbs up.
A threesome with Supermodel, thumbs up.
joe rogan
It's not the same.
bill burr
Yeah, it's like, what the fuck?
joe rogan
Did they really do that because of Amy Schumer?
bill burr
No, no, that was already...
Why would they do that, though?
That behemoth...
When you're that fucking big, you can't make decisions that quickly.
joe rogan
But everybody wanted it to be.
They did it for her!
They did it for her!
They gotta bring it back.
The star system is a perfect system.
Everybody's used to it.
We've been using it forever.
It works.
Somebody told me the star system only implies it's geared towards what you would like.
I'm like, how the fuck would they know that?
That doesn't make any sense.
And then I heard that that's not the case.
That it's basically just an average of all the people, just like on Amazon.
If you go to Amazon and you look at something, you see five stars, and you see 175 reviews, that's what it is.
bill burr
Right.
joe rogan
But somebody told me that wasn't, the star system wasn't that.
See if you can find that out, Jamie.
Somebody said the star system was based on whether or not you would like it.
I'm like, that seems ridiculous, because I've never rated a fucking thing in my life on Netflix.
bill burr
I don't get any of these places, and I don't understand how any of them fucking work.
I just, I go old school.
Like, I just try to, whatever I'm doing, I try to make it as funny as I possibly can, and try to work with the best people I possibly can, and then just hope it sticks.
And if it doesn't, I can always just keep telling jokes.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
I have no idea, and I was, fuck, when I took that meeting with Netflix, I went in there like, this is a jerk-off meeting, why did I drive all the way over here to fucking have a meeting on how to promote this shit?
And when they sat down and they were done with the presentation, I was like, am I allowed to leave?
Like, you don't do the men in black thing to me before I walk out of here so I forget all that?
That was fucking amazing!
It was fucking amazing!
Like, the level with which every goddamn...
Like, there's not one drop of water that rolls off the table.
They're catching it all.
I don't know how they...
Ugh.
You know, I'm just not wired that way.
joe rogan
Well, that's probably good, though.
There's only so much time in the day.
Like, just to think about being funny and just concentrate and staying in your lane is probably the best option anyway.
Yeah.
bill burr
I mean, it's working for me.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
It's working for me.
joe rogan
You don't want to be worried about algorithms and shit.
bill burr
No.
And then there's also a certain level of known that you don't want to get to because then it stops being fun.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
And then...
joe rogan
Tom Cruise.
bill burr
There's, uh...
Yeah.
Well, early Tom Cruise, it was fun to be that famous, but before social media and everybody had a camera that they could pull out like Charles Bronson in that cologne commercial, then it just becomes...
It's just something completely different.
Like, when we started in this business, like...
Being famous was courtside seats and, I don't know, fucking mountains of blow.
joe rogan
It says, Netflix star ratings were personalized and had been from the start.
That means when you saw a movie on Netflix rated four stars, it didn't mean the average of all ratings were four stars.
Instead, it meant that Netflix thought you'd rate it four stars based on your habits and other people's ratings, but many people didn't get that.
So how the fuck was Amy Schumer's one star?
Everybody gave it one star.
How's that work then?
bill burr
It was Sandinista and Rebels.
They just all got on.
And then they threatened the people that liked her special, and that's how it went down.
joe rogan
Well, I guess in that case, what they did was they just said, look.
bill burr
Greenpeace attacked my special.
joe rogan
So many...
Did they?
bill burr
Yeah, it just ruined all my chances for the rest.
I did this joke about trees, and they just didn't like it.
And that's it for me.
That's how it works now.
Now, this is a whole new world.
unidentified
That seems weird, though, to me.
joe rogan
They wouldn't let it actually be rated.
The ratings were personalized based on the shit that you like.
But how the fuck do they know what you like?
You just know what I watch.
bill burr
Dude, it's a riddle wrapped up in an enigma.
You're not going to figure out a fucking worldwide...
I don't know how they do it.
I don't know how they do it.
All I know is I went in and I took the meeting.
I was like, this is fucking unbelievable.
joe rogan
Well, they're on top of shit.
You know, the weirdest one is Alexa.
Do you know Alexa, the Amazon one?
They're using it.
They're trying to use it.
bill burr
Sounds like a porn star.
joe rogan
Yeah, it does.
bill burr
Coming to the stage.
Alexa!
joe rogan
They're trying to use that.
Alexa is a thing that you talk to.
You're like, Alexa, play Bill Burr's album.
bill burr
I have no sympathy for people that bring that in their house.
And because those mouth-breathing fucking morons will, someday it'll be mandatory that I do and get microchipped.
And then that's going to be the end of any sort of rebellion and whatever the fuck they want to do.
That's it.
The emperor can literally fuck a flounder on TV at that point.
And they will be able to stop...
Any sort of like fucking...
joe rogan
Any dissent.
bill burr
Any dissent.
They'll turn off your chip, which is your money.
What are you going to rebel against?
With a slingshot?
It's over.
It's a fucking wrap.
But there's too many mouth-breathing morons being like, well, what do I care if somebody, if I'm not fucking doing anything?
Those people?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I've had that argument with a very smart person.
When the NSA shit went down and they found out they were listening to all the calls, the guy's like, go ahead, listen.
If it keeps fucking terrorists from attacking, go ahead and listen.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
Like, wow, that's not what it is.
Like, anybody could find out your email.
They can go in your email and look at your emails and decide whether or not you're doing something wrong or right.
bill burr
Or once they have that jurisdiction, even if you didn't have anything, they could say you did.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, they definitely could.
They could alter your emails.
They could do whatever they want.
bill burr
That's why nobody gets whacked anymore.
People usually get whacked.
They don't get whacked anymore.
You mean killed?
Yeah, you don't.
joe rogan
Well, they think that Seth Rich guy got killed.
bill burr
Who's that?
joe rogan
Pay attention to that?
bill burr
No, I don't listen to shit.
I just talk.
I'm just gonna say, you can just kill him in the media.
All you gotta do is one dick pic and be like, that is his dick.
joe rogan
I'll give you the conspiracy theory and I'll give you what they know.
There's a guy named Seth Rich.
He's apparently a Bernie Sanders supporter.
He's working for the DNC. He found out that the DNC was fucking over...
bill burr
The Democratic Natural Convention?
joe rogan
Natural, yeah.
bill burr
National?
joe rogan
National, yeah.
He found out that they were fucking over Bernie Sanders and so he supposedly was giving this information to WikiLeaks.
All that information got out.
It hurt Hillary and it hurt the DNC. The head of the DNC left and she resigned and immediately went to work for Hillary Clinton.
Anyway, this guy who WikiLeaks says...
bill burr
And there was no follow-up because once she resigns in mainstream news, that's the end of the fucking story.
joe rogan
Yeah, there was no follow.
It was pretty outrageous that she immediately got hired by Hillary Clinton.
But anyway, the kid, who was his Bernie Sanders supporter, his name was Seth Rich, he was murdered outside of his house at 4 o'clock in the morning.
They said it was a robbery.
They left his money, they left his wallet, they left his phone, they left his watch.
Nothing was taken from him, but he was shot in the back at 4 o'clock in the morning.
So Julian Assange from WikiLeaks said that there are consequences for working with us and providing us information.
So they're saying, are you saying this guy provided you information?
He said, that's just what I'm saying.
There's consequences to working with us.
And then there's this other guy, Kim.com, was this famous multi-millionaire internet character that's hiding out in New Zealand.
unidentified
Wait, tell me, tell me.
bill burr
I was going to say, after he lets the information out, what is the purpose of killing the guy?
Because you're not going to stop the information.
What it is is to stop other people from doing it because they all get creeped out by...
joe rogan
To stop other people from doing it, one, and two, so that he can't testify on the depth of all the corruption that was going on in the DNC and who had organized it and who had orchestrated it.
That's what they think.
But what the fuck?
But there's a lot of people that dispute this.
And also, there was a redacted FBI report that people were touting out that turned out to be bullshit.
And so now they found out that that was a fraud, that the FBI report was a bullshit FBI report.
So they don't know what the fuck's going on.
But this guy's dead.
So my point is he got whacked.
Whether or not he got whacked because he was working with, there it is, federal prosecutor found dead.
jamie vernon
This guy got whacked this weekend, apparently.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
What did he get whacked for?
unidentified
Don't know exactly yet.
bill burr
Jesus, you guys just blew my theory out of the water.
jamie vernon
Yeah, he's like a 37-year-old federal prosecutor, went for a jog in South Beach and found with a gunshot wound to his head, I believe is what they say.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
Well, he might have fucking put somebody in jail, though, that was pissed off and waited for him.
bill burr
You've got to alter your behaviors.
joe rogan
What, when you put somebody in jail?
bill burr
No, yeah, when you have jobs like that.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
bill burr
You can't go home the same way.
How the fuck people live like that?
joe rogan
Yeah, how do you live when you're a prosecutor?
bill burr
I'm so glad I'm too dumb to ever get to that level of society.
joe rogan
Well, it's just an intense way of life, too.
You work with criminals all the time.
You're constantly working with people that are breaking the law.
You're constantly trying to put them behind bars.
bill burr
This is freaking me out.
When did you start smoking a pipe?
joe rogan
Oh, I only have done it a couple of times.
Stephen Crowder brought it in for me.
bill burr
How is it?
joe rogan
It's not bad.
It's not bad.
It's a little annoying.
It's not bad.
I'll do it right now.
I'll light it up for you.
bill burr
I thought it would be amazing.
joe rogan
It's okay.
bill burr
Both my grandfathers smoked a pipe.
So I am a, you know...
joe rogan
I like what it looks like.
It smells good.
bill burr
There's a place on the west side, the tinderbox, that I've been meaning to go into.
joe rogan
That place on Wilshire, right?
Isn't it?
bill burr
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah, I know that spot.
bill burr
There's a place over there and I've been meaning to go in there.
joe rogan
And take a pipedum?
bill burr
I don't know, I just like the smell of it.
Mandom.
joe rogan
Oh, this is dead.
We got another one.
bill burr
Just go in there and throw your shirt across the room and start smoking a pipe.
Well, while you like that, I'll tell you a little bit about F's for Family for People this season.
Frank's looking to get his job, get a job, I should say, after getting fired at the end.
That was some good active listening.
Oh, Jesus.
Is it weed you're putting in there?
joe rogan
No, it's tobacco.
bill burr
Oh, I thought you had fucking inhaled.
You don't inhale, do you?
joe rogan
No.
bill burr
No, you just sort of put it in your mouth.
joe rogan
Okay.
I'm just going to get a little puffed air.
bill burr
Okay.
Kevin's trying to get his band going.
We got Laura Dirt on the show, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell, Hayley Reinhardt, Debbie Derryberry.
joe rogan
I think I might have inhaled the first time, did I? Yeah, I thought you did.
I might have.
We'll see how it goes.
bill burr
David Koechner.
joe rogan
No, that time I did.
David Koechner's a funny guy.
bill burr
Yeah, he's one of the silliest people I've ever met, and I love him.
joe rogan
Yeah, you guys got a great cast.
Do you like doing a cartoon?
Is it as satisfying for you as doing stand-up, or is it just something different that's equally satisfying?
bill burr
It's just fun.
Stand-up's my first love, but the thing that I love doing is I love writing for all these other people.
You know, and I should say we, when we write for them, because everybody's in the room.
And the biggest thrill I get is at the table read.
Beyond making, you know, the powers that be laugh, when the actors crack up and they can't get through the line.
Like, we got Mo Collins this year a couple of times, and she's just a beast, man.
She just does so many characters for us.
And a couple times, like, it's just one of those things, like, man, if we're making Mo laugh, like, I know this is a good line.
And, um...
Trevor Duvall is another guy.
We got him one time.
And Koechner is hard to get to laugh, though.
He's such a pro.
You know what I mean?
And he'll say afterwards, this is some of the funniest shit I've ever done.
But to get him...
To crack.
Kind of a goal of mine.
joe rogan
To get him to crack?
bill burr
Yeah, I've been in the booth with Laura, and we've gotten her a number of times.
And yeah, Sam Rockwell, we've gotten him laugh.
That's my favorite.
It's like making another comedian laugh.
It's an extra level of like, all right.
Especially a lot of them, the caliber of actors, the material that they've looked at.
So for them to say, and you can tell.
Anybody can say, oh my God, this is great.
But when you really make them laugh...
You can't fake that.
The table reads are fun because I think that's more like a stand-up show.
I really rehearse my lines and I make sure that I sell the shit out of them because I don't have to go back and fix them if they don't work at the table read.
That's something that I did accidentally early in my career.
And then I learned what a...
You know, I learned what a big thing that is.
Like the first acting gig that I got, I was doing some small movie or something.
They had a table read and I got there and I was overly prepared and the lines worked.
And then there was more stuff for me.
And this guy said, hey man, the writers love you, man.
You're just selling the shit out of your stuff.
And I'm thinking in my head, I was just trying not to get fired.
And then I was able to see how the game works.
Because there's actors that will go to a table read and if they don't like the material, they don't sell the stuff.
And I don't think they understand how hard people work, so at least give it a fucking...
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
Yeah, swing out of your cleats, see what happens.
You know what I mean?
But to go there and just sort of mumble your way through it, it's not a good position to get yourself into as an actor if the whole writer's room is like, oh, fuck this guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, wasn't that an issue on, what was that girl on one of those cop shows, not cop shows, one of those hospital shows, Grey's Anatomy?
Was that girl said she wanted to be removed from consideration for the Emmys because she didn't think the material was strong enough that year?
And they were like, oh, what?
bill burr
Oh, God.
joe rogan
Yeah, I know.
bill burr
And how writers command their money is through winning shit like that.
Obviously, being on a hit show, but if you're an Emmy award-winning writer, that's huge for them.
That's like their fucking HBO special.
So, to screw...
If they're gonna get...
They went nominated and she said, I want to take that back?
joe rogan
Wow.
She didn't want to be nominated.
Here it is.
Star Shuns Emmys.
Katherine Heigl this week said she had opted out of the Emmys race this year because she was not given good enough material to work with last season.
That is 29 years old on top of the fucking world.
bill burr
That is just disappearing up your own fucking vagina right there.
joe rogan
Go back to that real quick.
So that was 10 years ago.
unidentified
I don't know who that is.
joe rogan
Exactly.
bill burr
Is she still working?
joe rogan
Not really.
No.
She dropped off the face of the planet 10 years ago.
She was a big star.
She started doing movies.
She did that movie with Seth Rogen.
Is she trying to motivate people now?
Yeah.
Knocked up.
She's fucking dropped off the face of the planet.
unidentified
Now she's 40. 38. Let's be honest here.
joe rogan
She's 38. Well, basically 10 years ago.
40 is 38. I mean, I'm 49. I'm 50. Trust me.
That's what happens though.
That 10 years flies by and nobody wants to do shit with you anymore.
Now she's got a tainted word.
She's got a tainted name.
Yeah.
bill burr
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
She's apparently softened her stance and she's, you know, apologized for her youthful exuberance.
unidentified
But...
bill burr
Hey, we're dumb.
In her 20s, we're dumb.
unidentified
Yeah.
bill burr
I give her a pass.
joe rogan
Dumb as fuck.
Yeah.
bill burr
I give her a pass.
Poor girl.
joe rogan
Good for you.
bill burr
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
You do dumb shit.
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
bill burr
In your 20s.
joe rogan
That's pretty dumb though.
bill burr
Huh?
joe rogan
That's pretty dumb.
That's ferociously dumb.
bill burr
I could beat that with a few things in my 20s.
joe rogan
Don't you think that's not like a rash decision?
That's something that was thought over, decided, reinforced, said it more than one time, and then...
bill burr
Yeah, but there's a certain level of like, not only egomania with celebrity, but there's also paranoia.
And I think that, like, you just fucking...
It all swirls together in your head.
And, like, you know, like, maybe thinking about an old acting, am I doing the work?
Is this worthy?
Like, you got that fucking going on with...
If you're just remotely a pleasant person, when you get to a certain level of fame, people are just like...
You are just the most amazing, like, I sneezed and you said God bless you.
I mean, he is so down to earth, like, the level that you have to just fucking barely even be a fucking decent human being to just get this avalanche of compliments.
If you got that going on and then you got this fucking paranoia thing, like, uh...
Is this the move?
Is this what I wanted?
Is this what I want to hang my hat on with this Emmy?
And you just start fucking having your own inside the actor's studio with yourself?
joe rogan
I think it's just a diss on the writers.
That's what I would say.
I would say what she's doing is just dissing the writers.
She's just saying...
bill burr
So in your world, it's a sketch.
For me, it was a trilogy of a movie.
I was really going somewhere with that.
joe rogan
A trilogy?
bill burr
Three-parter.
I was just joking how I built it all up in her head.
You're just like, yeah, I think she's just being a cunt.
unidentified
LAUGHTER They call him old brass tacks Rogan.
bill burr
Just gets right down to it.
joe rogan
That is my method.
I'm more of a brass...
I'm not really...
bill burr
Ground and pound.
You ground and pound it.
You don't feel him out in the first round.
You take him right down to the mat.
joe rogan
When it comes to people like that, I'm like, I've seen that before.
I know what that is.
bill burr
You go double leg takedown and then that's it.
joe rogan
Especially with actors.
I mean, I met a lot of nice actors, don't get me wrong, but maybe it's 50% of them?
That's a bad number.
Like, 50% of actors are pretty fucking cool.
bill burr
But you worked back when they could be a douche.
joe rogan
Ah, that's true.
bill burr
Now you can't.
joe rogan
That's right.
bill burr
Now you can't.
joe rogan
Yeah, people tell.
bill burr
Yeah, no, no, it's just because everybody stole all the movies and they stole all the music.
You know, there's people like, where's all the good music?
I wish I was born during the grunge era.
It's like, well, if this model existed back then, you would have ruined that too.
Because you cunts don't pay for anything.
So you get what you pay for.
You get shitty movies, you know, about superheroes and all that.
So now, that's what it is.
It's going to be superheroes or, you know, some sort of whatever.
Fucking, oh my god, am I 40 now?
One of those comedies.
And, um...
Yeah.
What the fuck was my point?
What were you even talking about?
joe rogan
People don't pay for anything anymore.
bill burr
That's why everything sucks.
unidentified
No, no, that's what I made it.
bill burr
That's what I made it.
That wasn't your thing.
I was talking about, oh, you can't be a douche now because the work's dried up.
There's not as many of them.
That's why there's, like, all these stars piling on like the Golden State Warriors every movie.
Back in the day, like, to make Ocean's Eleven happen when all of those people could have had their own starring vehicle and make all of this fucking money.
God, I hope I'm right on this one.
joe rogan
You mean the original Ocean's Eleven?
bill burr
No, even the one in the early 2000s.
The few times I did movies, everybody told me, you just missed it.
You fucking missed it.
It all ended in 05, 06, and I started getting work in like fucking 09, 2010. They were like, oh my god, they'd fucking pay for John Travolta's jet fuel.
He'd come in his own fucking...
unidentified
You know?
bill burr
To do, like, one of those Hogs movies, like riding on a motorcycle.
He'd be like, okay, you gotta pay for my 747. They're like, oh, John, John.
Goes without saying.
Goes without saying.
I'm gonna fly back and forth from the set on the weekend in my own 747. 12-hour...
Hey, whatever you want.
We'll build a fucking airfield for you right next to...
When we do Stayin' Alive, we'll fucking do...
Like, when you hear some...
I mean, I'm obviously exaggerating to a certain level, but, like, some of the budgets...
That were around in the way that they burned through fucking money.
And now it all just...
It's like it's the Serengeti during the dry season and all the fucking lions are fucking...
Everybody's drinking next to each other, so...
joe rogan
But don't they still make big movies now?
I mean, don't...
All these, like, blockbuster movies...
bill burr
They do that.
joe rogan
They still make...
bill burr
No, but if you notice, but there's, like...
It's not just a Tom Cruise movie.
They'll be, like, fucking all these other people pile...
Like those superhero movies...
There's someone who used to be able to carry a movie in each slot.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
I'm not saying they still don't get movies.
It's just dried up.
People in the industry told me.
joe rogan
Men in Black 3 star Will Smith forced to move his huge $2 million trailer as New York residents complain.
bill burr
Look at that thing.
unidentified
Look at that trailer.
jamie vernon
That's his gym, just for working out.
joe rogan
That's just his gym?
unidentified
Yeah, he had another trailer, too.
joe rogan
Holy shit.
unidentified
For hanging out or whatever.
joe rogan
Kevin James had a trailer just for working out.
When we did Zookeeper together, he had a full gym in a trailer that you rent.
I mean, it had a fucking tanning booth in it.
That was for Here Comes the Boom.
For Here Comes the Boom, he had to get in shape because he was playing a guy who became a UFC fighter.
unidentified
Yeah, I like that movie.
joe rogan
It's a fun movie.
bill burr
Yeah, he did a great job.
joe rogan
Yeah, he did.
He lost a shitload of weight, too.
Started drinking kale shakes in the morning and working out constantly, so he had a full gym.
bill burr
Dude, nothing will get you in shape like knowing you're going to have to take your shirt off in a movie.
Nothing will motivate you like, fuck this.
joe rogan
Yeah, definitely help.
bill burr
Give me all the green shit you got, I'll drink it.
I will fucking drink that.
If you could somehow, if there was an app that you listened to when you were asleep and it convinced you that you were going to have to take your shirt off in a movie, like the level of shape that Americans would get into, I think would be crazy.
joe rogan
Do you?
What about Burt Kreischer?
bill burr
Burt Kreischer is a rare animal.
He's like a white tiger.
You know, he's very valuable.
joe rogan
Like an albino deer.
bill burr
Like, if you ever get to the level, if you get bored with just, you know, and you want to go for the ultimate prey, like, that's the head you want on your wall.
You want Bert Kreischer.
Bert is like, yeah, he has, I don't know how he's wired, but like, he does not, I would love to ask, you have to ask him that.
Ask him, Bert, what humiliates you?
That dude is really just like fearless.
joe rogan
Well, he's definitely fearless of taking his shirt off.
Takes his shirt off every show.
Like immediately.
Takes his shirt off and then puts his hat back on.
bill burr
Shirt off, has a fucking chaps on.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Chaps?
bill burr
He did that at the goddamn comedy gym.
No, he came out.
Oh, I remember.
I had to follow him.
He went out and he fucking did Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Give it away now.
And came out with just a sock on his junk.
And convinced everyone else in the band to do it.
joe rogan
And they did it?
bill burr
Most of them didn't want to do it.
He's fucking Bert.
He led him over the hill like in Braveheart.
They all walked out with their socks.
And I'm sitting there like, how the fuck am I going to follow this?
joe rogan
And what did you have to sing?
bill burr
Oh, I don't sing.
joe rogan
Did you play the drums?
bill burr
I just played drums.
joe rogan
You can't go wrong, though.
You're back there with the drums.
You can follow that.
It's not the same.
bill burr
Dude, you're talking the level of energy and the level of the crowd being like, dude, what the fuck?
The show is over, dude.
The show is over.
joe rogan
Why didn't they have him go last?
bill burr
That's the exact question I asked Josh Adam Myers, who also does a voice on Howlin' Hank, the DJ. I remember when he came up with the DJ character, I'm like, I got the guy with the perfect voice.
But, yeah, I don't know why.
I should have been going on last.
I think it's like, they view that show more like how many years have you been doing stand-up.
It's like, no, this is not a stand-up.
This is a music show.
Who has the most musical ability or, like, is going to make the crowd go the craziest?
I mean, come on, dude.
Even if you didn't know anything about show business, these guys are going to come out with nothing but socks on their dicks.
That's going last.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
Yeah, that's it.
joe rogan
That's what I would say, if I was scheduling it.
bill burr
I can't remember what I did after that.
joe rogan
Play the drums.
bill burr
Well, I did enough stand-up to try to make them forget about what they saw before that, but I don't remember what song I played.
joe rogan
So that show has stand-up too?
Like, you do a little stand-up as well?
bill burr
Yeah, well, the way it started out was you would come out and just talk about how much you loved music, and then you'd talk about the awful band you played in, or some of the concerts you went to, or a rock star that they meant something to you, and...
What you got inspired to do.
There you go.
That's me trying to be Steven Adler with the tattoo, the heart tattoo.
So I probably played either Welcome to the Jungle or Paradise City on that one.
It's fun as shit, dude.
And the reason why I dress up like the drummers is because I don't want people to think that, you know...
I play drums good enough where people will be like, Wait, does this guy think he's good?
Yeah, there you go.
joe rogan
He's in a bikini.
unidentified
I'm trying to find the socks.
Okay.
joe rogan
That was before the weight loss challenge, too.
bill burr
Yep.
joe rogan
He put most of that weight back on, though.
Tommy didn't.
I went to Tommy's house the other day to do his podcast.
Segura, he looks fucking great.
He's lost more weight.
bill burr
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
He's disciplined now.
bill burr
Yes, he is.
joe rogan
He's exercising constantly.
bill burr
Eerily quiet sometimes when you stand next to him.
joe rogan
Tom?
bill burr
Yes.
joe rogan
Really?
bill burr
Yeah.
I just peer into his head sometimes, like, what's going on in there?
joe rogan
What do you see?
bill burr
I don't know.
I don't know.
I love Tom, but I'm telling you.
joe rogan
Is something happening in there?
unidentified
Huh?
bill burr
I would love to bring him on here and interview him.
joe rogan
Well, he's definitely intense.
bill burr
He's intense.
joe rogan
In a way that he doesn't show a lot of people.
Like, the way he prepared for this weight loss challenge.
bill burr
I'm a dark dude, and when I go into a room, if you're a psycho, you spot another psycho, and it's just like, there's a fucking movie going on there that I would love to finance.
I want to see that movie made.
joe rogan
Him and his wife, I think, that's the funniest comedy couple.
Next to Moshe Kasher, it's like Moshe Kasher and his wife, Natasha Leggero, those two, and then Tommy Buns and Christina.
I gotta go with Tommy and Christina.
They're close, though.
bill burr
I'm seeing a new reality show.
joe rogan
It's close.
unidentified
Comedy couples!
bill burr
I'm your host, Joe Rogan!
Last comic standing with comic meets the newlywed game.
Huh?
I like it.
That's all you have to do to pitch.
You just pitch two shows that worked.
joe rogan
The Newlywed Game and Last Comic Standing.
bill burr
Yeah, you ask them questions and all of that stuff.
Who else is out there?
You got Tom Carter and Carrie Louise.
unidentified
Right?
joe rogan
Okay.
unidentified
I'm just saying comedians that married each other.
bill burr
Okay, it's one season.
joe rogan
Oh, Bonnie McFarlane and Rich Voss.
bill burr
Bonnie McFarlane and Rich Voss.
unidentified
They're contenders.
bill burr
They're contenders.
joe rogan
They're in the running as well for the funniest couple.
Who else?
bill burr
Well, how do you keep this going, Joe?
unidentified
I don't know.
bill burr
There's not that many.
How do you keep this going for five seasons?
joe rogan
You don't.
You barely can get three episodes out of it.
bill burr
Is it a special?
Is it something you would loan your name to?
unidentified
No.
bill burr
Could this live?
Where would this live?
joe rogan
I'm just trying to get a check.
unidentified
Where would this live?
joe rogan
I just want to sell it to you, and then run away.
bill burr
I like it.
Well, listen, we just got in business with Liquid Drano, and they want to get into the streaming business, and they got all kinds of money.
They know they're going to lose money in this first year, so we'll give you, we're just going to throw money at you.
joe rogan
I have one request.
bill burr
What's that?
joe rogan
Mario Lopez.
Host.
bill burr
Mario Lopez.
joe rogan
Can we get him?
bill burr
Do we know him?
joe rogan
Yes.
bill burr
What does he do?
joe rogan
He's a boxer.
bill burr
Mario Lopez.
He wasn't on Saved by the Bell?
joe rogan
Did that too.
But now entertainment reporter slash boxer.
bill burr
Oh and he's a boxer.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
Another guy shredded.
joe rogan
Good looking guy.
bill burr
And he hosted.
joe rogan
Yes.
bill burr
There you go.
joe rogan
So like the women are married to a guy that's not as good looking as Mario and that's part of the drama of the show.
What do you think?
bill burr
What channel?
Where does this live?
joe rogan
Bravo, for sure.
bill burr
I always just picture in the industry, like whenever you don't know what to say, you just go, where does this live?
Where does this live?
Is this in our palate?
joe rogan
You know what I've been watching lately that's fucking ridiculously addictive in some fucked up way is Million Dollar Listing.
You ever watch that show?
Do you know what it is?
unidentified
Yes!
joe rogan
These gay guys are selling houses.
bill burr
Yes, my wife watches that show with that fucking, the gay guy who lives in Connecticut.
Yes, he's ridiculous.
He looks like he's claymation.
He doesn't look like a real person.
His teeth are so white.
joe rogan
I am the number one real estate agent in all of New York.
I'm the best.
bill burr
I love that guy.
And I love when he starts speaking, what is he, speaks Swedish?
joe rogan
Yes.
bill burr
And out of nowhere he just buzzs.
No, that's not the guy.
joe rogan
That's not him?
bill burr
That's not him.
joe rogan
Oh, that's the one from...
No, that's the other one.
The one on the far right.
bill burr
On the right.
joe rogan
Yeah, the far right guy.
That guy.
bill burr
That's the fucking guy.
joe rogan
There he is.
Oh, the one in the middle looks a lot like him.
God, that's weird.
bill burr
They all have on lipstick.
joe rogan
They look exactly the same.
Million dollar listing.
That's Los Angeles.
That's the different one.
bill burr
Yeah, the one in New York.
unidentified
That fucking Gestapo fucking gay dude.
bill burr
I love that guy.
joe rogan
So the guy in the middle, I haven't seen that guy before.
I've only seen the one in New York with the male model in the middle.
There's a male model.
bill burr
The one on the right is an angry psycho like me.
The dude in the middle is sort of a middle ground, and then the other guy is like, I mean, he's right out of Hogan's Heroes.
joe rogan
There was a house that they were selling in Los Angeles that was on that show, and I was watching it, and they were trying to sell it for $20 million, and it was for sale recently.
It's actually a house that's really for sale, but it's like right above Sunset Strip.
Like, you could see it from the strip.
Like, imagine buying a $20 million house, and you could just look at it.
Like, you can look into the windows.
I mean, it's a half a block above the strip.
bill burr
You're looking out your window like a CVS is across the street.
No?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
Okay, I just thought you were...
joe rogan
But it is like that.
bill burr
It's on the street.
joe rogan
It's right there.
bill burr
It's not above it.
joe rogan
Here's the strip.
Here's Sunset Strip.
Here's the first couple of buildings.
It's right there.
I mean, it's fucking right there.
bill burr
Right.
joe rogan
But they wanted $20 million from it, and the listings died.
bill burr
Do you believe that those are true?
Because, like, the last episode I watched is, like, the...
The gay Gestapo guy is sitting there going, he walks in to this lady and he just goes, okay, here's the offer.
The final offer they can give you is $11.3 million.
joe rogan
I saw that one.
bill burr
She read him the right act.
joe rogan
I told you, no negotiations.
bill burr
Don't come in here, waste my fucking time, blah, blah, blah.
And he's just sitting there going, oh my God, oh my God.
And I was surprised he took that level of shit.
I was waiting for him to be like, lady, it's not my fault you think it's worth $15 million?
You fucking lunatic?
Yeah, you can't do that.
So he just sits there and listens.
And then she leaves.
And I'm like, holy shit, they finally didn't sell a house.
And then just boom, two seconds later, somebody calls up.
Or after he does the whole, she walked out the door.
It was like winter in Russia, right?
And he fucking, all of a sudden, somebody calls up out of nowhere and just goes, all right, 11-6...
Final offer, that's it.
And then he calls the lady up and then she's all just like, see, that's all I wanted.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the exact show I watched.
bill burr
Yeah, and I was just like, that was too easy.
joe rogan
And there's the handsome model who just takes his shirt off all the time and he's ripped.
That guy with the Jewish fellow with the long hair.
bill burr
My wife likes him.
joe rogan
Of course she does.
bill burr
Yeah.
joe rogan
Women like him.
Guy's shredded.
bill burr
Yeah, I don't care.
I don't care getting mad at that.
joe rogan
Beautiful man.
bill burr
She could literally be like, I'm leaving you for him.
And I'd be like, I get that.
joe rogan
I get it.
bill burr
I see it.
joe rogan
You gotta do what you gotta do.
bill burr
Good for you, man.
joe rogan
Congratulations.
Give me some knuckles.
There you go.
Hey, at least we had a kid together.
unidentified
Give me a hug.
You know?
bill burr
Imagine you're taking custody, too.
I figure.
You know, he's a better-looking dad.
He's probably better at it than me.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's tough to fight that off.
It's about 6'2", shredded.
And he keeps a certain amount of chest hair on it, too.
bill burr
You really analyzed this guy, dude.
unidentified
I did.
bill burr
I fucking nod.
I usually...
I got my little glass of fucking whatever I'm drinking at that point.
My little helper to get me to sleep.
joe rogan
What do you drink?
bill burr
Dude, I drink gasoline.
I drink gas, dude.
joe rogan
How often are you drinking?
Because you took a long time off, right?
Didn't you take a few months?
bill burr
Yeah, I take periods.
I'm in the middle of a Joe DiMaggio streak right now.
I didn't drink last night, but I had family come in.
Uh, two weekends this month to meet my daughter, and so, like, that was a lot of, like, you know, beer drinking.
I mean, it's just, you know, boozing and whatever.
Like, I feel I'm being good if I drink hard stuff, because it's not as many calories as beer, but, um...
Yeah.
joe rogan
I've been on a wine streak lately.
bill burr
I can't deal with the fact that it makes your teeth gray.
I hate that.
Then you're sitting there, if you drink red wine, it turns into gray, and then you're like, ha ha!
joe rogan
I drink so much coffee, my teeth are kind of jacked anyway.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
They're going a little yellow.
unidentified
Yeah, I definitely...
bill burr
I don't know.
I definitely...
Yeah, I go through periods.
I got inspired recently because I read something about some celebrity that fucking was already good looking and then they just laid off the booze being like, yeah, I kind of was going too hard and the dude was even better looking.
I was just like, yeah, I gotta cut this out.
I gotta knock this off, so...
joe rogan
Getting off booze is going to make you better looking?
bill burr
No, it's going to make you a better looking you.
joe rogan
How's that?
bill burr
Because you're fucking pouring that shit into you.
It's not good for you.
You're literally asking me if you live a healthier lifestyle, you're going to look a little better.
Dude, if you're eating moon pies and fucking drinking beer and stuff, you're going to look horrible.
joe rogan
Would you rather enjoy yourself or look better?
bill burr
Oh, dude, I literally was thinking that last night when I was sitting there going like, all right, I'm not drinking tonight.
I'm not going to have that little one.
And, you know, my wife always, I come walking and she hears the ice in the glass before I even get down the hall.
Did she give you a hard time?
joe rogan
Oh, another one, huh?
bill burr
No, no, no.
You can't just be sober?
joe rogan
You don't enjoy me sober?
bill burr
No, she's more like, ah, Christ, you're going to be fucking snoring all night?
No, my wife's always this.
I'll always be like, oh, my God, I think I'm a fucking alcoholic.
She's like, you're not an alcoholic.
You're so fucking dramatic.
You just like to drink.
It's like, all right, you're right.
But...
We did have this whole fucking thing where she just, like, I'd come walking in with a drink, and she just, oh, last year when we were doing the show, and just the stress of writing and just thinking all day and coming home.
I was, like, really fucking hitting it a little harder.
So I'd come into the room, and she was looking at my pores, and I went from this to this to this to getting, like, bigger.
And then one night I came walking in, and she just goes, Jesus Christ!
Why don't you just bring the whole bottle down?
Like, I only had one!
unidentified
She goes, look at it!
bill burr
Fucking thing is huge!
unidentified
Ha ha ha!
bill burr
And that's when I came up.
I go, it's a home pour.
joe rogan
A home pour?
bill burr
A home pour.
unidentified
Oh.
bill burr
Well, you go out to the fucking...
The whiskey bars and shit, and they take like an eyedropper out.
They have like a giant like glacier fucking ice cube in there, and then they just, you know, a little wet your whistle shot.
It doesn't even go up like an eighth of the ice cube.
That's a commercial pour.
And then you got the home pour, which is me, is you cover the ice cube.
You get one of those big square ones in there, you know, and you just pour over it.
joe rogan
I got a buddy that takes it to the next level.
He takes a smoker.
He puts water in the smoker.
So he leaves it in there for like a half an hour.
So the smoke embeds the water.
Then he takes the water out of the smoker and pours it into this circular cube maker, circular ice ball maker.
You know, you pour it in there so it's smoky water.
And then he drops that in a glass and pours his whiskey over the smoke-infused water.
A little too much.
bill burr
It's a little redundant.
joe rogan
A little too much.
bill burr
That's what I said.
That's like that band Striper.
Remember them?
joe rogan
Oh, they were the Christian band.
bill burr
Remember all the stripes?
Like, they just took it too far?
Like, everything was fucking striped.
joe rogan
Weren't they, like, super Christian?
bill burr
The guy's whole fucking drum kit.
Like, the cymbal stands were all yellow and black striped.
joe rogan
That's too much.
bill burr
It's like, we get it, you striper.
joe rogan
I didn't know.
I'm not aware of these guys.
bill burr
Now, that is...
joe rogan
Oh, this is disgusting.
Yellow and black.
bill burr
That's what I think having a smoke-infused...
It's already going to have a peaty taste to it.
joe rogan
Now, am I wrong about them being the Christian band?
bill burr
No, no, you're right.
joe rogan
They are?
bill burr
The drummer's name was Robert Sweet.
I remember that.
And I don't think that's a stage name.
That's how nice it was.
joe rogan
I have no idea.
53.5.
They have a quote in the back.
bill burr
That's hilarious.
Yeah, but they hit a market.
They dress like bees.
joe rogan
They hit that bumblebee market.
Why Ted Cruz?
Oh, the guy looks like Ted Cruz.
The picture of Ted Cruz and the guy.
It does look like Ted Cruz.
unidentified
It's hilarious.
bill burr
Ted Cruz has a Pee Wee Herman haircut, too, right there.
joe rogan
It does a little bit.
bill burr
A little Bob's Big Boy, a little coif going on there.
joe rogan
Meanwhile, I'd be happy with him as president right now.
I'd be happier.
Would you not be?
bill burr
He creeped me out.
joe rogan
Did he?
Creep you out more than Trump?
bill burr
Yeah, I voted for Gary Johnson.
joe rogan
I did too.
bill burr
I like that guy.
He just was sane.
That's all I was looking for at that point.
And I like Bernie Sanders too.
I would have loved to see those two guys go at it.
I just think we would have been in a much better place.
joe rogan
It would have made more sense.
bill burr
Yeah, it just got a little too...
joe rogan
What do you think is going on with this Russia shit?
bill burr
I don't give a shit.
joe rogan
You don't give a shit at all?
bill burr
I don't give a shit, dude.
Whatever they did, we've done a thousand times around the globe.
If anything, they're guilty of stealing from us.
You talking about tampering with the election?
joe rogan
No, what I'm really talking about is how much investment Trump has in Russia and what Russia has on Trump.
There's some weird shit going on with them, too.
bill burr
I hope he's boys with them.
It didn't work out well the last time when we weren't friends.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
It'd be nice to get along with them.
They don't have to try out their missiles.
They work.
It's not like North Korea.
They got like a fucking, what do they call those things?
A startup, you know?
They got like hashtag fund my nuclear missile over there.
I don't know.
I refuse to get scared by that guy.
joe rogan
Well, I'm not scared by Putin, but he's a scary fucking guy.
I mean, he's a murderer and a thug.
bill burr
There's a lot of murderers here.
A lot of murderers.
You remember that?
joe rogan
We've done terrible things as well.
bill burr
I love when he said that.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's right.
He's right.
bill burr
Well, who's the murderer?
He just goes, a lot of killers over here, too.
And then O'Reilly goes, well, who?
Who's the killer over here?
And he just goes, a lot of killers.
And then he just moves on to the next question.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
Nobody will be like, no, wait, I asked a fucking question.
Answer it.
joe rogan
He'll get up and walk away.
That's what he does now.
It's his move.
You ask him questions about Russia, he just gets up, fuck you, leaves.
Calls you fake news.
bill burr
Fake news.
joe rogan
You are fake news.
bill burr
Fake news.
Oh, dude, the amount of sketches you could do with that guy.
unidentified
What, what they're doing on Saturday night?
bill burr
Coming home, getting busted for cheating on his fucking wife, and just, she'll be asking a question, I'll just get up in the middle of it.
It's fake news.
It's fake news.
Well, whose panties are these?
Those are fake.
joe rogan
All fake.
Alec Baldwin is reviving his career with him.
I mean, Alec Baldwin's on fire right now.
bill burr
Did he have to revive it?
I've always thought that that guy's been killing it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's always doing great, but I mean, he's on fire right now, doing his Donald Trump impression.
It's one of the best things he's ever done.
bill burr
That guy's fucking hilarious.
Did you ever see him on Jiminy Glick?
joe rogan
No.
bill burr
That guy kills it on everything.
He's one of the funniest dudes out there, and he's one of the best character actors out there.
It's just that he looks like an astronaut superhero that they tried to make him like this matinee idol guy, and he was really like a character actor guy.
My wife was always watching 30 Rock.
He fucking killed it.
Did you ever see when he did his Tracy Morgan impression?
joe rogan
No.
unidentified
Yeah.
bill burr
I'm a huge fan.
joe rogan
Well, he kills it so hard on SNL as Trump.
I mean, there's no way he's not funny.
I mean, that impression is fucking disaster.
I mean, it's destructive.
It's so good.
bill burr
I love that one joke they had.
I'd like to apologize to the blah, blah, blah.
I'd like to apologize.
He kept saying apologize.
And they go, are you trying to say, Mr. Trump, are you trying to say apologize?
He goes, no, I would never do that.
LAUGHTER I've been just busy, so I haven't been watching on Saturday Night Live.
I've got to start watching it again.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't watch it either.
I just watch the clips online.
I don't have time to invest.
Saturday Night Live is like one of those things where I feel like they're going to hit 50% of the time and miss 50% of the time.
I can't do that.
So I'll wait for the hits.
They come out with some great sketches.
bill burr
That's a very efficient way of digesting your art.
joe rogan
That's how I do it, bro.
I'm efficient.
All right.
bill burr
Well, we have 10 episodes this season.
I've got to keep steering it back, because last year when I promoted it, I just went on things trying to be funny.
And then in the end, they'd be like, oh, by the way, I gotta make sure I promote it.
joe rogan
Plug it.
bill burr
Plug it.
joe rogan
F is for family on Netflix.
And if you don't have Netflix, how dare you?
How dare you try to live your life without Netflix?
There's everything on it.
Kids, my new TV, I got a new TV, doesn't even, I mean, you don't even need something to get on Netflix.
Get on Netflix right through the TV. The TV hooks up to Wi-Fi, bam.
bill burr
You know what kills me is you won't be satisfied with that within 18 months.
unidentified
You think so?
bill burr
Because your neighbor will have something else.
joe rogan
I don't know my neighbor.
bill burr
Oh, you're going to know your neighbor.
joe rogan
I had to meet my neighbor the other day because my daughter's drone flew into her yard.
Yeah, we got a drone.
It sucks.
bill burr
How high up does it go?
joe rogan
It goes high.
It just doesn't listen to you.
If you spend $150 on a drone, it doesn't listen.
You got to spend like $500 and then they listen.
The $150 one, it's like a vague suggestion.
And once it gets more than like a few hundred feet away from you, that fucking thing is not listening anymore.
It just sailed right into her tree.
So I had to go down and get it.
bill burr
Amazing video on those things.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
If you get a good one...
bill burr
Of people not wanting to be videoed.
joe rogan
It is fucking weird, man.
I mean, there was a town in Colorado that passed a law letting you hunt them.
So if you see one in the sky, you're allowed to shoot it down.
bill burr
I love it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
I love it.
joe rogan
I like that, too.
bill burr
I used to have a bit about that when Amazon was going to start delivering packages.
I go, that's going to be like down south, it's going to be like skeet shooting with prizes.
They're just going to shoot them down.
unidentified
What'd you get?
What'd you get?
bill burr
That is what it's like.
unidentified
Yeah.
bill burr
Just absolutely fucking shoot those things out of the air.
That's one of the...
One time, I was over at a friend's house.
We were at a pool, and one just came over.
I was just hovering over the pool, looking at us like a fucking...
My wife's there in a bikini and shit.
I said, what are you doing?
And I was like, you know, I had my usual overreaction.
Like, is this how it's gonna be?
Is this the future?
I will get a fucking gun!
unidentified
I don't give a fuck!
bill burr
I'll have a cardboard cutout of me!
In the video or some shit.
Somehow I was going to get away with it.
joe rogan
Just need a good bird gun.
You know?
Good 20 gauge.
Just shoot it out of the sky.
Something that scatters good.
bill burr
You know what would be great?
You know what would be great is if you knew whose it was and you could have somebody filming their face when you shot their shit out of the sky.
unidentified
How...
bill burr
Despite their invasion of your own property, how wronged that they would feel?
joe rogan
Well, it's weird that there's no law above your house.
Like, if someone flew that into your house, it'd be a problem.
If someone drove it into your yard, it'd be a problem.
But if they hover over your house...
bill burr
It's airspace, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's airspace.
That's fucking weird, right?
How does that work with, like, say if you wanted to fly over Kim Kardashian's house in a helicopter and take pictures of her, are you allowed to?
How does that work?
bill burr
Yeah, there's noise ordinances.
Like, you can only fly so fucking low.
joe rogan
How low?
You're a helicopter pilot.
bill burr
Usually it's like, I wouldn't go lower than 700 feet.
Especially in Santa Monica.
Those people, they hate that airport there and they want all of those people out of there.
joe rogan
They're killing that airport, you know?
bill burr
They have been trying to do that forever.
joe rogan
They are now, though.
They're going to turn into a park.
bill burr
All right.
joe rogan
Yeah, they just passed it.
I think it goes out in...
I think it's 2020 goes under.
bill burr
Oh.
joe rogan
They have three more years of airport.
People are pissed though.
All those people that live in like Marina Del Rey and all those places around there with a lot of cash and they will park their jet there.
They're fucking pissed.
The Malibu folks wanted to fly right in there and just...
bill burr
Oh my god, yes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
That was perfect.
Well, now they have to go to Van Nuys.
Torrance.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Van Nuys.
You go to Torrance, you're going to be in traffic for two hours.
bill burr
Yeah, no, that's all kind of amazing that they passed that you know that those people couldn't figure out a way to bribe their way I'm sure in that airport, but it did three years is a long fucking time Do you remember in New York City when they first had those videos?
You know advertising in the back of cabs and everybody's like these are making me carsick at these things the fuck out of here People had such a reaction to it.
They went away and then like a few years later They just came back just came back now.
He loves them and they're fucking gross and Just touching that screen, all of that.
It's bad enough being in the cab, and you just see the fingerprints.
It's bad enough opening and closing the door, but I can't see the fingerprints.
Those screens, I don't like them.
joe rogan
Well, it's always loud, too.
They're always loud, and they're playing you ads in some entertainment news TV show or something like that.
bill burr
Yep.
I feel like a hypocrite because I do advertising on my podcast, so how mad can I get?
But I do draw the line when I go to pump gas.
Like, hey, it's gas TV! Blah, blah, blah.
And they're just pumping it super loud.
joe rogan
You do ads on your podcast, but you shit on the ads.
Like, I heard you doing an ad for MeUndies, the new one where they're doing with the gay pride thing.
And you're like, I see what you're doing.
bill burr
I see what you're doing.
Yeah, that's what they're doing.
It's just like, it's very hard to get, I think, straight guys to get into like, or animals, you know what I mean?
We don't have the sense of style.
Maybe you get a couple of metrosexuals, but yeah, I just felt like that was a great, like, what can we pretend to care about that will get us to sell more underwear?
And that was the way to fucking go.
I just say things.
I don't fucking know.
I just felt like that was...
joe rogan
Do you wear me on these?
bill burr
You know what it really is?
I have two pairs and they're very Greg Louganis.
joe rogan
You got little ones?
bill burr
They're little ones.
And I put them on to make my wife laugh.
And she did laugh.
But she goes, no, I kind of like them.
I'm like, these are just too little.
joe rogan
I get the boxer briefs.
bill burr
Oh, they have boxer briefs there?
joe rogan
That's all I wear.
I'm wearing them right now.
bill burr
I swear to God.
I don't believe you.
unidentified
They're the best fucking underwear.
bill burr
I'm joking.
I'll show you.
You know what?
For some reason, I thought you would have the tearaway fight ones.
Oh, the polka dots.
That's great.
That looks like the yogurt shit that they have.
Sprinkles?
joe rogan
TCBY? Sprinkles in your Menchies?
bill burr
Froyo.
Alright, have I kept you here long enough?
I think I have.
There's gonna be traffic.
joe rogan
You gotta get out of here?
bill burr
I don't know, I just wasn't sure.
If the point you're showing me your underwear, I think we'd kind of...
joe rogan
We've kind of covered it.
bill burr
Yeah, we've kind of covered it.
If there's anything else you want to bring up, what have you shot lately?
joe rogan
Animal-wise?
I shot a pig a couple months ago.
bill burr
Oh, well shit, fuck the animals.
What else did you shoot?
joe rogan
No, just animals.
bill burr
Oh, okay.
I thought there was something else there.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
bill burr
I thought you were inching towards Bert Kreischer.
joe rogan
I'll give you some pig meat.
Damn, I don't have it here.
unidentified
Shit.
bill burr
You motherfucker.
I always get the elk.
joe rogan
I'll give you elk and pig.
No, no, no.
bill burr
I still have the elk left over from the last time.
joe rogan
Do you?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay, I have plenty of elk.
bill burr
I want the wild boar.
joe rogan
I'll give you like a quarter.
Like a fucking real leg.
Like a boar leg?
bill burr
Yeah, dude.
joe rogan
I live in a house, man.
bill burr
I don't have the fucking...
The fucking serial killer meat freezer that I know that you have.
joe rogan
You just gotta tell me when you're gonna cook, and I'll give it to you the day you cook it.
bill burr
Oh, alright.
joe rogan
That's not gonna happen.
bill burr
No, no, no.
joe rogan
That was one of those, yeah.
bill burr
No, I was just thinking I'll go on YouTube and I'll go to fucking how to cook a pig leg.
joe rogan
Yeah, we just gotta slow cook it.
Just slow cook.
You could brine it first.
I like to brine things.
You ever use those Yeti coolers?
You know what a Yeti cooler is?
bill burr
Imagine it's really cold.
joe rogan
It's a very insulated cooler.
Like you could put ice in it and leave it outside in the sun and five days later it'll still have ice.
bill burr
Okay.
joe rogan
So you take one of those.
Put some ice in it and some sort of a bucket.
Fill the bucket up with salt water and sugar.
bill burr
Juniper beads.
joe rogan
Yeah, a bunch of shit in there.
Garlic, stuff like that.
And then brine.
Brine the meat.
And make it extra tender and juicy.
bill burr
And ask your wife if she's a witch.
What?
It's just like brining is such an old school thing.
unidentified
Ask your wife if she's a witch.
bill burr
Tie somebody to a stake, and then at that point the...
joe rogan
You know what I heard?
They weren't really burning witches at the stake.
That was bullshit.
They would drown them.
I'm like, well, that's just as terrifying.
bill burr
Nah, you gotta go with drowning.
joe rogan
Yeah?
bill burr
Gotta go with drowning.
joe rogan
Why's that?
bill burr
Oh, dude.
For a fucking minute.
That's it.
You just take a big inhale.
joe rogan
I think what they would do is, they would figure if you didn't drown, you were definitely a witch.
And if you drowned, they fucked up.
bill burr
They were like, my bad.
joe rogan
Sorry.
unidentified
Witches.
bill burr
Well, somebody's doing something, because there's a lot of weird shit going on.
You know, how do you get out of that one?
joe rogan
Isn't that amazing, though, that that's what they used to think?
unidentified
They used to think that someone was doing witchcraft when things would go wrong.
bill burr
I don't think that's amazing, because I think that kind of thought has just slid into other shit that people think, you know?
joe rogan
Do you know what the root of it was in the Salem witch trials?
They got a late frost and their bread...
Apparently when you get a late frost and wheat, you can get some weird mold that grows on the wheat.
And this wheat was growing this type of mold called ergot.
And ergot has the same properties as LSD. So these people were eating the bread and tripping their fucking balls off.
And they thought that...
bill burr
Wearing those dumb hats...
They could even really freak you with a belt buckle on your hat.
joe rogan
How's the belt buckle on your shoes?
Remember they used to have those stupid buckles on their shoes too?
unidentified
Yeah, I'm sorry.
bill burr
I did the- Go, go.
I did the comedy-comic thing.
Go ahead.
joe rogan
No, go ahead.
unidentified
Do it.
So anyway, so they're tripping on this shit and they- So they thought that these people were bewitched.
joe rogan
They thought they were getting witch- they were getting hexed by witches.
And so they had these people that they didn't trust and they were freaking out because they were on acid.
And that's like one of the primary theories.
Isn't that crazy?
bill burr
Can you imagine being on acid in the 1700s?
How much you'd be freaking out?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
I mean, there's no information on it.
Actually, I thought some of the original people, whatever you're supposed to call them now.
joe rogan
Indigenous people?
bill burr
You're not supposed to say that.
joe rogan
Natives?
bill burr
I fucking said that in Canada.
Originals?
Yeah, the OGs.
joe rogan
In Canada, I think they call them First Nation.
bill burr
First Nation!
joe rogan
Yeah.
They have a different name form in Canada.
bill burr
First responders.
joe rogan
They got weird rules in Canada.
Do you know, they can go out at night with flashlights and shoot deer and moose.
They flash flashlights on them all year round.
They don't have any rules.
They have that in America, too.
Like, they don't have, like, game laws for the Native American reservation areas.
Like, they can just shoot elk.
bill burr
I thought you were talking about cops.
joe rogan
No.
bill burr
With their flashlights.
I'm actually doing a gig for the cops tomorrow.
joe rogan
Are you?
What are you doing?
bill burr
Just something for the California Highway Patrol.
joe rogan
Where?
It's a good move.
bill burr
I don't know.
Yeah, you can never know enough cops.
joe rogan
Never know.
bill burr
Never know enough cops.
You have no idea when you're going to snap and you're going to need a cop to show up.
Oh, Joe!
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
Get out of here.
Come on, you're not hurt that bad, buddy.
joe rogan
Walk it off.
unidentified
Walk it off.
bill burr
You'll be fine.
I think that all the motorcycle guys, I want to talk to, I was hoping I was going to meet some of their helicopter pilots, because those fucking, they fly at like 300 feet, the balls those guys have.
joe rogan
Did they really?
bill burr
Yeah, they're right over people's houses, and they got to sit there in a fucking circle, yeah, for like an hour.
unidentified
What a fuck.
bill burr
I'm just looking at it.
joe rogan
First move to LA, this girl I was dating, right outside of her house, someone broke into someone's house, and they had the helicopter flying over the head.
It was fucking creepy.
Like, you look outside the window, you'd see the spotlight moving across the city street.
bill burr
Yeah.
I've never seen that going down to the improv.
The building still exists.
If you park just east of...
Of Crescent Heights.
There's a building and on the second floor they have ceiling to floor windows.
And somebody broke in there and they had like the helicopter spotlight was on it.
And I watched two cops like a movie walking down that hallway with their guns drawn, slowly walking in, just sitting there like, what the fuck is this?
unidentified
Wow.
bill burr
Yeah, I was like probably like four months into moving here.
joe rogan
The craziest shit I ever saw with cops live was on TV during the North Hollywood shootout.
Were you in LA back then?
bill burr
I was in Vegas, but I was living in LA. Yeah, those guys that had the head-to-toe body armor.
joe rogan
Yeah, they had head-to-toe body armor, trunks filled with guns.
They were all steroided up, out of their fucking mind crazy, probably on meth, and just gunning down cops.
unidentified
Ate some of that wheat.
Right?
Trippin'.
joe rogan
Ate some of that ergot.
bill burr
Yep.
joe rogan
That was crazy.
That was crazy.
We were on news radio.
We were in the lunchroom, like our break room, watching on TV going, what in the fuck?
They were live shooting from there.
bill burr
Dude, I would have...
Retired the next day as a cop.
I would have been like, is this what the future is?
And I mean, you're gonna give me this little fucking pea shooter like this is what I'm supposed to do.
I'm done.
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of them did.
bill burr
I'm sure I would have that would have been it when they were fucking crouched behind that car and that guy remember that guy spray in the Yeah, you know, I love how people going like oh, then they went up and shot the guy who's clearly hurt there Yeah, they wouldn't pull him away.
joe rogan
They let him bleed out.
He got shot under the vest.
He took one under the vest in the gut.
And they let him bleed out.
People were complaining.
bill burr
Good.
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
bill burr
Good.
That's what you get.
My mother would have said, well, you shouldn't have shot at the police.
joe rogan
That's what you get.
bill burr
That's what you get.
You know?
Now you're low.
Maybe that's reincarnation.
You'll learn next time.
joe rogan
You're supposed to be above that if you're a peace officer for whatever reason.
bill burr
No, that's stupid.
joe rogan
I agree.
bill burr
That's like an athlete when someone says fucking crazy shit to your face.
You're supposed to be above that?
No.
Punch him right in a perfect world.
In a perfect world.
joe rogan
Some woman on Twitter the other day.
Some lady on Twitter was harassing Donald Trump and Donald Trump blocked her.
Which is hilarious.
So she showed that Donald Trump blocked her, and then she said she's contacting a lawyer.
And she said that the president shouldn't be able to block her.
And everybody's like, what the fuck are you talking about?
And then people started harassing her, so she started blocking people.
And they're like, listen, you fucking crazy bitch.
This is what's called a hypocrite.
bill burr
I'm just picturing him in the White House.
You know when you scroll with both your thumbs just sitting there and typing?
Getting mad.
This is what he's doing?
joe rogan
Blocking people on Twitter.
Yeah, he blocks people.
It's hilarious.
You know what else he does?
He watches five hours of TV a day.
How the fuck does he have time?
I don't have time to watch five hours of TV a day.
I'm not the president.
unidentified
Successful people know how to delegate.
bill burr
That's what he's doing.
joe rogan
He's delegating his time?
bill burr
To the vice president.
I bet he looks at him like he's his ward and just, you know, military codes are over there.
I have to watch Hannity.
joe rogan
Hannity's still on our team.
bill burr
Talking about me is bad.
I don't know.
Look, I couldn't handle that fucking job.
Dude, Howard Stern had the funniest fucking take on him.
Donald Trump was saying, like, why the fuck would you take that job at your age?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
He goes, you got like eight good summers left.
He goes, you're going to spend that taking all this...
Shit, he just kept going back to that.
You got eight summers left!
He kept yelling.
joe rogan
That's a good take on it.
bill burr
Dude, it was fucking hilarious.
It was perfect.
Yeah, why would you do that at the end of the life?
You're a fucking billionaire.
Just go enjoy your money.
joe rogan
Ego.
You could do it all.
You could do it all, Burr.
I could be the fucking president.
bill burr
Is that because they trashed him at the brunch?
joe rogan
100%.
He was like, fuck you.
I'll show you.
Because they mocked him, made fun of him.
Because that was during the birther days.
bill burr
And they put him right in the middle of the room.
Do you know every roast, there's always that raw meat guy and you don't realize you're that guy until all of a sudden the roast starts.
It's just like, oh fuck, I'm the guy?
I'm the guy for when everybody runs out of jokes for the guy that they're roasting.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's brutal.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he said one thing to him that was hilarious.
Like, but I'm one thing that you'll never be, and that's the President of the United States.
That was one of the things that Obama said.
bill burr
Yeah, and he shut them all.
And he had to fucking hand over the keys to the house.
I mean, that had to have been...
Oh my God.
joe rogan
You probably never saw it coming.
There's no way.
There's no way this guy's going to run.
No way this guy's going to win.
bill burr
No, and in a weird way, it was sort of like a reverse bully movie.
Because it was the liberals doing it to him, and they were totally bullying the guy.
joe rogan
100%.
bill burr
But he was bullying Obama with the whole fucking thing.
unidentified
Birth of thing.
bill burr
Yeah, the birth of thing, right?
So, I don't know.
joe rogan
They're still going after that birth of shit.
I saw something yesterday on some website that was showing how they have all these different confirmed sources that are showing that the Obama birth certificate was fake.
I hope it was fake.
bill burr
So wait, undo his presidency?
It already happened.
joe rogan
Yeah, what can you do?
But I hope it was fake.
I hope he scammed the country.
bill burr
Listen, the fucking, the NBA had that mobbed up ref and he said that he fucked the Warriors out of, I mean, the Kings out of that series against the Lakers.
No one's gonna take the fucking Lakers title away for that year.
unidentified
What happened?
joe rogan
Really?
bill burr
Yeah.
joe rogan
Is that real?
bill burr
Yeah.
joe rogan
What is it?
bill burr
He was a referee who was fucking fixing games.
joe rogan
No.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Really?
bill burr
That's how much you don't watch sports.
joe rogan
I don't watch sports at all.
No, it's fixed.
Tim Donaghy, 100% of NBA refs gamble.
What?
unidentified
What?
That's crazy.
bill burr
No, but he's also in jail now.
He's just trying to say shit.
joe rogan
This is the guy that was the ref that was in jail?
bill burr
Yeah, but like he...
joe rogan
Is that him right there?
bill burr
Yeah, he fixed games.
He used to say, from in jail, he goes, you tell me who's reffing the game and I'll tell you who wins.
joe rogan
Wow, he spent 15 months in prison after pleading guilty of two charges of the case.
How much do you think he made?
He joined Colin Cowherd Wednesday afternoon, had a fascinating answer when asked what percentage.
He said 100. Wow.
bill burr
No, that's, no.
joe rogan
No?
bill burr
Not true?
No, that's just a fucking jailbird talk.
joe rogan
I used to gamble on UFC fights.
Way back in the early days, when I first started working for them, I was like, who gives a shit?
I can't really affect the outcome.
So, like, many, many years ago, like, they'd bring in these guys, like, they'd bring in some guy from, like, Brazil that I knew about, and I would look at the line, and I'd be like, you guys are out of your fucking mind.
This guy should be, like, a 10-to-1 favorite.
And you got him an underdog, I'm like, ooh, I'm putting some money on that.
And I'd put some money on it, but then after a while, I was like, this is probably not smart.
I don't think it's illegal.
bill burr
It's not good for the company.
joe rogan
No.
It's also not good for me if I come off as biased anyway.
I've been accused of being a biased commentator anyway.
Even worse...
bill burr
He didn't tap out!
unidentified
Come on!
Keep it going!
joe rogan
Come on!
Yeah, but that's a different kind of thing, though.
Gambling when you're a referee is a big deal.
bill burr
Yeah, and that's a game that's easily fixed.
joe rogan
How do they fix it?
What do they do?
bill burr
Because you can take stars out of the game by giving them fouls.
joe rogan
Oh, is that what they did?
bill burr
Yeah.
joe rogan
What did this mobbed-up guy do?
bill burr
You just sit people down.
It's just like, if you're the best player on the team in the first quarter, I give you two quick fouls.
I'm not going to see you again.
Until the second quarter.
And I've never fixed a fucking game, but I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm just, I give you another one in the second quarter, I don't see you until the next half, and at some point you're going to get mad.
If I keep calling bullshit fouls, I might get you on a technical foul.
That saves me a ticky-tack foul.
And then that counts towards your fouls, and then two fouls, two technicals, you're out of the game, you're ejected.
joe rogan
So was it obvious that this guy was doing fouls?
bill burr
I thought it was obvious that the NBA was kind of fixed for a while.
Like, I was sitting going like, yeah, I just, I went to a game one time, the Celtics versus Utah Jazz, and I'm watching the fucking game, and like, just like...
The game starts, they're letting them play.
And then they're calling it tight.
And then they're letting them play.
Then they're calling it tight.
And it's like, there was never an ebb and flow in how they were calling the game.
It's like an umpire.
You know, you see in the first inning, the guy will step out of the box going, okay, that's a strike tonight?
Okay, cool.
Just finding out where your strike zone is.
But like an umpire, if you start changing the strike zone, kind of changing sports on you here.
It's like, people are going to know what the fuck's going on.
You've got to be consistent.
So like, with...
NBA games you would watch and it's just like, oh, they're calling it close tonight.
Oh, he's letting the boys play!
And that was the game.
They wouldn't just keep...
Obviously, if it got really out of hand, they would tighten down.
But I never saw a game where it was just like, you're pulling back on the range, you're letting them run, you're pulling back, you're letting them run.
And it just made me feel like they were shaving points or something.
I remember for years I said the game was fixed.
And everybody said I was out of my fucking mind.
And then they find a guy who's all mobbed up.
And I go, damn, vindication.
They go, oh, it's just one guy.
joe rogan
Now, when you say mobbed up, how was he mobbed up?
What was the issue with that guy?
bill burr
It's just an expression.
I don't want to get in trouble with anybody.
But he was basically working for other people that were part of a gambling that took bookies or whatever.
joe rogan
Right.
And he did something to make sure that the game leaned in that direction.
Like, he couldn't totally fix it?
bill burr
So if a team was favored by eight and they wanted him to win by eight, he'd make sure it happened.
It's probably easier to make sure they didn't by fucking over their offense.
And then they would just, you know...
They try to get money.
Like, look, if you're a legit bookie, all you're trying to do is get an even amount of money on each side.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
Okay?
Because with the combination of people teasing and plus the juice and all of that, you're going to end up on top.
You don't want a bunch of money all on one side and losing your fucking shirt.
So, what these guys would do is you get greedy after a while.
It's like, I'm sick of this ticky-tack shit.
Let's go for a big fucking score.
They wouldn't do it every game.
They'd just, every once in a while, be like, alright, listen.
Here's a game.
Probably, you know, I don't know.
I've never fixed a fucking game.
I'm just guessing how they would go about doing it.
Fix this one.
Alright, make sure these guys don't win by eight.
joe rogan
So did this guy admit that he fixed it?
bill burr
Yeah, he went to jail.
joe rogan
But he went to jail for gambling on it, right?
bill burr
No, he went to jail for fixing it.
joe rogan
For fixing it.
So what did he say?
He said he made fouls that weren't really fouls?
bill burr
Well, yeah, yeah.
Whatever he had to do.
jamie vernon
This is what his attorney submitted, saying the manipulation that happened during one game.
joe rogan
Okay, so I was officiating a playoff series between Team 5 and Team 6 in May of 2002. It was a sixth game of a seven-game series, and a Team 5 victory that night would have ended the series.
However, Tim learned from Referee A that Referees A and F wanted to extend the series to seven games.
Tim knew Referees A and F to be company men, in quotes.
Always acting in the interest of the NBA, and that night it was in the NBA's interest to add another game.
So the NBA wanted to fix it.
bill burr
Yeah, for money.
joe rogan
Whoa, the NBA fixed it.
Referees A and F heavily favored Team 6. Personal fouls resulting in obviously injured players were ignored, even when they occurred in full view of the referees.
Conversely, the referees called made-up fouls on Team 5. Look up the highlights of the Lakers' Kings game.
bill burr
It was ridiculous, the fouls that they were calling.
But that's my thing, is when they said it was just one guy, it's like, how long could you be on an officiating crew while in...
One of your guys is dirty before you'd realize, like, what the fuck is this guy doing?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, what about the guys that were betting on the other team?
I'd want to kill that fucking referee.
Can you imagine if you saw him call fouls that weren't really fouls and you knew what was going on?
You knew your money was going out the window?
bill burr
But I think they're really susceptible to it because, like, the amount of money that NBA players make is fucking insane.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
They make, like, you know, some of the contracts that they have coming up.
And there's so few guys on the team.
And every year, the draft, there's like two rounds in the draft.
The fucking NFL goes on forever.
There's 40-something guys on a team in the NFL.
There's 20-something in baseball, 20-something in the NHL.
And I think basketball, it's no more than 11 or 12 guys.
So it's a very small group of people, and the income that they're generating, like their revenue share, I don't know, that's all like super sports nerd shit, like I don't know how that works, but some of the contracts that some of these guys have been signing, like they can afford to fucking pay that guy that?
So now you're a ref, and you're running with your fucking black aerobic Reebok sneakers up and down the court.
joe rogan
The Velcro closures?
bill burr
Yes.
And you're seeing the cars these guys are getting in and all the women hanging out.
And you're on the stage, too.
You're running up and down.
No one gives a fuck about you.
And I don't know what the pension is for the NBA, but if I was in the NBA, if I was running, I'd be like, we've got to fucking triple these guys' salary.
joe rogan
Is this the salaries of the players or the referees?
unidentified
NBA players' salaries for right now.
joe rogan
What about the referees, though?
So look at that.
unidentified
Way less.
joe rogan
35 million a year for LeBron.
bill burr
That's just what he makes to play hoop.
joe rogan
Right.
Not about his sneakers.
bill burr
Most of their sneaker contracts are more than what they make.
It's fucking nuts.
It's nuts.
joe rogan
It's a lot of cash.
bill burr
Hey, good for them.
I'm not saying they shouldn't make the money.
Obviously, if people are putting it out, they're earning it for them.
Can you find out what a ref makes?
joe rogan
Do you know who Mike Conley is?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
That's what's hilarious.
I only know the biggest guys.
Like that Mike Conley.
Ooh, that's Mike Conley.
Who the fuck's that guy?
bill burr
I don't know who that is either.
joe rogan
Guy made $30 million last year.
unidentified
He's the highest played player in the NBA. There's a guy named Mike Conley?
jamie vernon
Yeah, he's the starting point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies.
bill burr
Oh, there you go.
jamie vernon
But it's this amount of time, like his contract came up at the time last year when the rest of the guys are going to get more this coming year and the following year.
The TV contracts have gone up and there's a percentage they're going up each year based off of the TV rights and that's why it...
bill burr
I watched almost every Celtic game last year.
I never heard Mike Conley.
Mike Conley, that sounds like a fucking politician.
jamie vernon
He went to Ohio State the same year as Greg Oden, who was that big bust, and he was his point guard.
bill burr
Is he still playing in China or no?
jamie vernon
No, he's actually an Ohio State assistant coach right now.
unidentified
He went back to school for a degree.
joe rogan
Playing in China.
That's when it gets weird, right?
You've got to go overseas to Europe.
You're playing for $100,000 a year.
bill burr
I don't know.
Sometimes if you're famous enough, they'll give you a little more.
I don't know how that works either.
I don't know how a lot of shit works.
I just know I have a show coming out called F is for Family.
That's why I'm here.
The average salary the NBA rep is from $150,000 to $550,000.
joe rogan
That's a big spread.
What about the guy who's making the extra four?
How's he getting extra four?
Average salaries have spiked considerably since 1983 when NBA officials made between $18,000 and $78,000 each season.
$550,000 is not bad.
That's a lot of scratch.
So you'd have to give them enough money where they don't feel tempted to cheat.
Right?
bill burr
Yeah.
That's the problem with politicians.
joe rogan
Right.
bill burr
You make $550,000 a year, you're making $50,000 a year more than the president.
So you're kind of like, those guys are like set up to be like, here's a job that cost $100 million to get and you're going to get paid $500,000.
So you're just setting them up to have to cut deals with people.
joe rogan
What do you think is going to happen with Trump?
bill burr
I have no idea.
I don't even know the highest paid guy in the NBA. I have no fucking idea.
joe rogan
If you had a guess, though, do you think that he's going to last?
bill burr
Yes.
joe rogan
You don't think he's going to go to jail in the middle of this?
bill burr
No.
joe rogan
No?
bill burr
No.
I watched Clinton get impeached.
He stayed.
joe rogan
Right, but Clinton got impeached for just not telling the truth about an affair.
bill burr
Nixon should have stayed.
joe rogan
You think so?
bill burr
He should have just stayed and just be like, you know...
All right, I bumped that room.
And that's it.
joe rogan
I think the stress is too much for them though.
When the whole world comes after him like that.
Everywhere you look.
Every newspaper.
bill burr
I think he'll be fine.
He's fucking watching five hours of TV and he's on Twitter.
joe rogan
Blocking people.
bill burr
I mean, what else is he?
Either fucking peanut butter and fluff another sandwich?
I mean, he's living like a fucking kid.
joe rogan
Well, it's hard to see...
When you read articles about him, it's hard to know who's writing the article and why they're writing it, right?
Like, are they writing this article because they really believe that he's gaining weight and he's solemn and he's down in the dumps?
Or are they trying to just put that out there?
Like, how the fuck do they know he's down in the dumps?
bill burr
They're just trying to sell papers.
joe rogan
How do they know he's sullen and comes home upset and he's gaining weight?
He does seem like he's gaining weight, though.
Seems like he's getting a little fat, a little depression.
bill burr
Well, I mean, there's obviously...
Most of the people, it seems, in the media fucking hate the guy, so they're going to be just...
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But that's how they chip away at you, right?
Start talking about how you're coming home and you're depressed and you're despondent, you're not listening to anybody.
bill burr
How do they know that?
joe rogan
How do they know that?
bill burr
Our sources say negative things about the guys we don't like.
joe rogan
Well, you were talking about Tiger Woods on your podcast.
I was listening to it on the way over here, and I totally agree with you.
When Tiger's world fell apart, how the fuck do you know?
Did you talk to him?
You don't know him.
You didn't have a conversation with him.
bill burr
I'm sure that was a brutal couple of years, but it was ten years ago.
In ten years, he hasn't fucked up Other than this DUI. So, I mean, yeah, he fucked up, but, you know, I got busted for that shit in 89, so I'm going to judge him?
joe rogan
Right.
The DUI, apparently he's on some back medication.
That's what it is.
He mixed his medication.
That's what he's saying.
But they said he smelled like booze.
But I don't know if that's true.
bill burr
Yeah, he should just take the hit.
Just be like, ah, you know, I fucked up.
I was hanging with the fellas and blah, blah, blah.
And I'm not condoning what the guy did, but I'm not going to sit there and judge the guy and be like...
I was watching some guy and he was trying to say that, you know...
You know, he let us down.
He sold himself as a family man.
It's like, you built that whole fucking narrative.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bill burr
You built that whole narrative.
I just watched him play golf.
All I ever want to do when I watch golf is watch those guys fucking crush it.
Like, I love John Daly.
And I love that he's like, fuck you, I like drinking.
He just kept drinking.
joe rogan
He was fat, smoking cigarettes.
Big gut.
bill burr
And he would hit it a fucking mile.
And I loved watching it.
joe rogan
Well, Tiger always had a very bizarre style, apparently.
I don't play golf, but apparently people that I've talked to that explained to me the way he would hit the ball, I guess not the way they teach you to do it, but he could do it so well that way, but he would put ridiculous amounts of torque.
bill burr
Yes, on his body.
They said from the beginning that his body was going to break down if he keeps doing that.
There was a period where he adjusted his swing and he stopped winning, and then he came back again.
And I just think that what they said...
There was a bunch of guys.
Earl Campbell, they said if he keeps running like that, he's wide open.
He's going to have problems.
Bobby Orr, the way he played hockey.
If you throw yourself around, you really beat the shit out of your body.
Like, that happens.
And it just coincided with his personal life falling apart.
So everybody goes, oh, that's the reason why...
You know, somebody wins, that's the reason why somebody loses.
Like, look, I'm not saying you don't go into a couple year funk if your life falls apart in the personal area, but it's just like, the rest of that shit...
You know, that's just a bunch of hype.
joe rogan
For him, it's like a double dump, though, you know?
I mean, the thing happens personally with his personal life, and it happens publicly where everybody gets to see it, and then on top of that, his body's falling apart at the same time.
bill burr
No matter what he did.
joe rogan
Yeah, no matter what he did.
bill burr
If he went to church every fucking week, he was going to fuck up his back and his knees, and they did, but then they're trying to equate it to...
What he did was none of my business.
It's none of my fucking business.
I don't want to know about it.
I hate knowing about...
I feel bad if their marriage falls apart.
I feel bad if they get busted for drink and drop.
It happens.
If you fucked up and it's your fault, you should get punched.
But the cops are handling it.
They arrested him.
The courts will handle it.
Yeah, but they need to talk about it.
Do I need to pile on and start wagging my fucking hypocritical finger at them?
My pasty freckled...
joe rogan
You don't have to because you're a comedian and you're funny and your take on things can be have some compassion, look at it for what it is, make fun, poke at it.
But when you're one of those fucking straight up...
Sports commentator guys, you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room as far as what you could say and what you don't say.
And you've got to go right down the middle and attack the principles.
Yeah, go Disney.
unidentified
I mean, what does this say about the fabric of our community?
joe rogan
You know, the morals of our country.
bill burr
This creates a culture.
joe rogan
Look at this.
Tiger Woods is lost in every literal and figurative way.
Dude, that guy...
Dude, here's the thing.
bill burr
This is fucking ESPN. Those guys on TV, what they present...
It's not who the fuck they are.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Look at this.
I mean, this is so ridiculous.
They're saying, that Woods is a new and improved human being since he's extramarital sex scandal from hell.
A better father and friend with or without a golf in his life.
How do you fucking know what happened?
bill burr
I actually have sympathy for the guy who wrote this.
Because he has to write it.
You know Conor has to sit down and be like, ah, Jesus Christ.
How am I going to keep being a senior writer unless I act like this shit actually bothers me?
joe rogan
You have to write something inflammatory.
You have to write something salacious.
You gotta.
You gotta get people to click.
You gotta get a lot of clickbait.
bill burr
Why can't this fat fuck shoot off his fireworks in his own country?
unidentified
He's dead.
That fat fuck's dead.
bill burr
His son.
We do it all the time.
We fucking light shit off in the ocean.
Kill all this fish that people could have ate.
joe rogan
Kill whales.
bill burr
Yeah.
Kill fucking whales with tests.
Yeah.
And then this fucking guy shoots off a rocket and everybody's like, whoa, whoa, hey, what are you doing?
joe rogan
Well, he's threatening us, Bill.
unidentified
Huh?
joe rogan
He's threatening America.
bill burr
Dude, I, you know.
joe rogan
He's worried that we're coming after him.
bill burr
I love a shit talker.
unidentified
Do you?
bill burr
We probably are.
joe rogan
Oh, we are.
For sure.
With Trump?
bill burr
I pitched this on somebody else's podcast.
What they should do is they should eliminate war.
And then what it is, is your leaders go into the octagon.
They're not allowed to work out or anything.
They're not allowed to work out.
No, they go in the fucking octagon.
So you get to see, like, right now, who's your number one world leader?
I gotta go.
Putin.
joe rogan
100%.
He's a judo black belt.
bill burr
Is he?
He looks like he'd fucking headbutt you.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a judo black belt.
He'll fuck up every other world leader.
100%.
bill burr
Just pictured him choking out Trump.
unidentified
100%.
joe rogan
He would kill Trump.
He would trip him, throw him to the ground, kick him in the face.
bill burr
Can you imagine the sound of his foot hitting the side of this guy's son's belly?
Just a nice fucking liver shot would be the funniest shit ever.
And everybody sits there and whatever the dispute is, this is our territory, this is your territory, it's just solved with world leader mixed martial arts.
You go and you can do whatever you want.
It'd be like the early days of that shit where the guy came in with the one boxing glove, like Trump could still wear his tie.
With, like, the little tight shorts on.
And he can keep wingtip shoes on if you want to keep...
You can do whatever the fuck you want to do.
Within reason.
I don't want to just be too violent.
But they just have to fucking...
Oh, dude, it'd be hilarious, because first of all, doesn't the son have to wear glasses, too, in the Kim Jong-il Part 2, the sequel?
joe rogan
The son?
bill burr
Kim Jong-un?
joe rogan
Does he wear glasses?
bill burr
Yeah, so he'd have to come in with the Kareem goggles, you know, prescription level.
joe rogan
Like a basketball player?
bill burr
If they make those in North Korea, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
You'd have to get them from China.
China will send them to them.
They're friends.
bill burr
Just solve it that way.
Dude, did you have your laptop custom painted?
That looks like a better color than mine.
joe rogan
No, the new ones come in two colors.
They come in a dark gray or a light gray.
bill burr
Oh, that's it?
joe rogan
That's a dark gray one.
bill burr
I have to throw my out.
I'm going to personally put mine in the ocean.
joe rogan
Do you have the brand new one that gets the fingerprint thing?
bill burr
I'm personally throwing mine in the ocean.
joe rogan
Don't do that.
bill burr
To kill some sea life.
joe rogan
Give it to poor kids.
bill burr
And what do they do?
See all the porn I used to watch?
unidentified
And then they fucking start shooting missiles off?
joe rogan
Start shooting missiles off.
bill burr
All right, dude.
joe rogan
Bill Burr, get out of here before the traffic gets back.
bill burr
Thank you so much.
joe rogan
My pleasure, brother.
bill burr
Thank you for the offer of the pig leg.
I'll take that off you next time.
joe rogan
F is for family.
unidentified
Today.
joe rogan
It's one of the funniest fucking shows you will ever watch in your life.
It's on Netflix right now.
Go binge.
Binge, you freaks.
bill burr
Thank you.
joe rogan
Thank you.
That was good.
