Knicks, Advertising, A.I. Stealing Jobs | Monday Morning Podcast 5-19-25 | Bill Burr

Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday Morning
Podcast for Monday.
Oh my God, what day is it? May 19th, I think. 2025! What's going on? How are ya?
How's it going with you? I'll tell you how I'm doing. I'm doing great!
Just going to convince myself I'm doing just fine.
Um, three weeks down. I hate fucking counting shit down. Three weeks down. I'm
just counting down for when my family comes out again.
Getting here through May. Having some great shows. Um, doing the play.
Discovering things and all of that shit. But let's, let's get, let's talk some
sports here.
First thing I want to, I want to mention. Um, two amazing things happened.
This week. The New York Knicks advanced in the second round of the playoffs.
And you know that that was an amazing thing because they acted like they won a
fucking championship.
Um, act like you've been there before. They have not. So they were well within
their right to flip out like that.
I am happy for every real Knicks fan and every decent sports fan. Not those
whack-a-mole fans that disappeared when it was three games to two.
Oh my God. The chirping. The chirping that was happening when they went up
three games to one after, after Glenn Gary.
Oh my God. They, they would wait till I signed the pamphlet. Then they'd go,
Celtics suck.
Like the biggest fucking bitches ever. And then I'd be like, you're a Knicks
fan?
And they'd be like, yeah, yeah. Hardcore. Really? They had a playoff game
tonight. You went to a fucking Broadway show. Shut the fuck up.
It's dealing with that. Right? So anyway, we win game five in all of them. I
couldn't find a Knicks fan. Everybody shut the fuck.
They were so fucking scared. And then when they win game six, they all come
fucking running out. Those kinds of fans.
I don't mean real fans. I mean those fucking idiots that, you know, call in
sports talk radio shows and talk all kinds of shit, you know,
about why they like this athlete or don't like that athlete or whatever. So, um,
anyway, I just,
I'm happy for the Knicks cause I love Paul Verzi. Those, the rest of those Knicks
fans can literally,
you know, go die in a house fire. And I, I'm not even joking. Like I fucking,
I can't stand bitchy fucking sports fans like that. You know, just disappeared
during the losses.
You know, can I get a picture? Can I get a picture? Get him a picture. And they're
like,
fuck Boston.
Oh boy. Okay. And then the other thing that blew my mind this week, and this is
just,
it's New York sports centric. I know the Red Sox, uh, been playing well, knock,
uh, walk off home run
or whatever. I haven't seen a fucking, an inning. All I can see is the
highlights cause their games are
when we have our show. Um, but anyway, uh, and I've also been keeping up with
that kid. Oh my God.
On the fucking Timberwolves. I'm finally coming back and I'm, I'm, I'm, you
know, I try to watch the NBA,
but I always end up watching the NHL. I just, I grew up watching hockey. And as
much as we had Larry Bird
and everybody, I just was more of a Terry O'Reilly, you know, Cam Neely, Ray Bork,
Rick Middleton.
I just, I love the Bruins. I just always loved hockey. So, um, it was just a
weird sport and I was
a weird kid. I just related to it. It didn't make any sense that they could
fight, sit down for five
minutes and come back out, do it again, sit down for five minutes, do it a
third time before they
were like, all right, you know what? I think, I think you've had enough.
The whole thing was weird. They didn't play halves. They played periods. None
of it. It just,
some people had helmets. Other people didn't. It did the whole, this, I just
loved it. Two national
anthems. It was fucking weird. Like me. I had orange fucking hair. I related.
Um, anyway,
another weird thing that I saw is, uh, and this is not, once again, I'm not
judging all Yankee fans.
I didn't understand those people in the bleachers turning their backs on Juan Soto.
First of all, like, oh my God, we're not even talking to you right now. And it's
also,
you didn't find, like, if you're a Yankee fan, I would say below like the age
of like 20.
I get that that hurt that Juan left. But if you're over 20, I mean, come on,
man. Like the Yankees,
you guys have hung your hat on signing free agents for more money than their
original team or,
or, or, you know, he wasn't yours to begin with. You know, as much as Johnny
Damon signing with the
Yankees hurt me, it was, it was really him shaving off his beard. It didn't
bother me because he wasn't
ours. We signed him from Kansas city. You know what I mean? So I didn't
understand like any Yankee fan,
if you could write in, like, why are you so upset? Um, plenty of baseball
players have said that
they're going to stay with their team. And then the Yankees offered him more
over the years
and they left. So like, what are you guys special? Someone shouldn't do it to
you. I think they're,
they're a little, uh, they're a little perturbed because they've always been on
the good side of,
uh, that whole free agency thing. And now all of a sudden the fucking Dodgers
are spending like
$700 million making the Yankees look like a mom and pop store. But I do respect,
you know, since George Steinbrenner passed away, his son, he's really been homegrown
talent. So
I've had, uh, you know, even if the Yankees won it with Juan Soto, I, I, I
wouldn't have done that,
that bitchy thing being like, Oh, they fucking, but they didn't buy it. Like
all of those guys
are from their, uh, pretty much from their, their, their, their system. And I
don't think that
they're, it's not egregious the way it was in like the late seventies. And I
would say 2000.
Yeah. Like the 2000, 90, 96 team was great. 98 teams, great. One of the
greatest of all time,
if not the greatest of all time, 99, it started to get a little weird. I think
that's when they
got Clemens and they got rid of Wells. And then the next year they got Wells
back and they kept
Clemens, you know, and somewhere in there they like signed Jose Consenco just
so we couldn't get
him. It just, that that's when it was weird, but like, you know, but I just, I
think it's like,
it's, it's really hypocritical for you to have your feelings hurt. That's that
a free agent
left your team because they got more money somewhere else. Um, do I have to
name all the
names? Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Dave Winfield, Ricky Henderson, all
those fucking
pitchers, Clemens, Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson, Mike Mussina, uh, Jason Giambi,
Alex Rodriguez,
Dave, Daryl Strawberry. I mean, you, you signed everybody. You fucking have
literally signed
everybody. I mean, I would feel good as a Yankee fan. I feel like you're like
276 and one. No,
no, you've lost two. You lost one Soto and then you, you lost, um, your second
basement to the
Seattle Mariners. What the fuck was his name there? Uh, I don't, I don't, I'm
bad with the
fucking names. It happens. It happens. But you know, turning your back on that,
that was really
like, how did you guys all decide that? You know what we should do? Do you guys
have a chat room?
Um, acting like a bunch of soccer moms ganging up on some fucking chick cause
she's in shape,
you know, and you guys are still carrying your baby weight. I don't know. I don't
think,
I don't think it was a good look. I don't, by respect the bleacher fans of the
Yankees,
they are fucking, you know, they're out real sports fans, but like, you know, I
wouldn't do,
we are like, so not talking to you. I don't think you should be doing that.
Well, what do I know?
I'm just a bald ginger doing a play. Um, anyway, went to the big gay gym today.
Uh, did a little
cardio, did the speed bag, you know, no homo. I was, you know, the actual speed
bag, you know,
they haven't, they haven't turned me yet. Um, and then I, I did a little core
work,
you know, doing that shit. And then, uh, I don't know, I'm going to go for a
fucking walk here.
I got the Patrice O'Neill benefit tonight. Um, Patrice O'Neill benefit tonight.
I'm doing,
uh, you know, our special guest has changed. Um,
but whatever, it's still a special guest. It's always happens. People have
crazy schedules and
whatnot. And, um, anyway, anyway, I'm looking forward to that. I'm only going
to do like half
the podcast and I'll tell you about it. It's my favorite thing as far as stand
up every year,
other than golfing with Verzi. If we, uh, get time to do that, um, is when we
do the benefit
and I get to see, uh, it's like the standup comedian high school reunion. And I
like every
comic that's there. I won't be turning my back on any of them because they
decided to play a comedy
club that I didn't agree with. How could you do that? Um, so anyway, uh, what
else? No MotoGP.
This, this, that's the one thing I've been able to keep up with. Um, is I've
been watching, uh,
all the MotoGP and I'm like, so bored that there's not a race that I'm kind of
going back and watching
the Moto3. I like the Moto3. I like those bikes. Cause when I look at those
bikes, for some dumb
reason, I've, they look easy to ride because they're smaller and this, that
probably increases
the degree of difficulty or whatever. I want to thank some fan. They gave me a
book on, um,
motorcycle safety and how to ride and everything. This book does not look cheap.
I appreciate that.
And, um, by the way, um, I don't know if, uh, I mentioned this, I'm going to
sort of tease it over
the weeks. So I got a gig in London on, uh, I think July 8th and it's a benefit,
um, for, uh,
for Parkinson's, uh, Glenn Tipton's, um, from Judas Priest, his, uh, his
charity, all the money's going to
that. And, um, I'm going to have an opener. I'm going to do my shit. And then I'm
going to have a,
uh, a special music guest, not Judas Priest, um, adjacent. Okay. I just don't
want to get you
thinking that, but a Judas Priest fan, um, we're going to come out, I'm going
to play drums and we're
going to do a couple, two, three songs at the end. Um, it's kind of a full
circle moment for me because
my first concert ever was docking Judas Priest. And, um, that was not a fun
time in my life and,
and bands like Glenn's bands really, uh, you know, when you're going through it
as a teenager,
you know, music is a huge thing. And those bands not only help you through that
period of your life,
you're then a lifelong fan of the band. So it's a, uh, it's going to be a great
night. And as we get
closer, I'll, uh, I'll give you some more clues or whatever about what's going
to happen, but I've
been getting those songs together. And one of the songs that we're going to do
is, uh, it's an ACDC
song, but it's, uh, and it's a classic Phil Rudd thing where I've listened to
this song a million times
and, uh, for whatever reason, I haven't played along to it too much. And I've
been like breaking
it down. And I swear to God, the fucking genius, the simplicity, the perfect
parts, the perfect,
the perfect, the perfect everything, the way that even when he plays a fill,
when Phil plays a fill, he never interrupts the groove. It's like,
and I think he is one of the major reasons as big a reason as Malcolm Young, uh,
maybe not quite as big,
but right there as to why they still play in front of 80,000 people. And I
think it's because when,
when he's playing the tracks, when he's recording them, not only is he serving
the song, I think also
in his head, he is feeling the energy of 80,000 and the responsibility of
keeping 80,000 people moving
and not interrupting that for his own drum ego. And the way he builds tension
and holds it
until the, until you, you, you, you're almost like running out of air before he
finally lets you come
to the surface and he fucking hits that crash cymbal or maybe does a fill or
just does something simple
between the kick snare and hi-hat. Um, and it just releases all that energy.
That's why when you,
you watch those AC/DC live, um, you know, concert films and everything, I think
everyone is going so
fucking berserk because it's that devastating combination of the Ma
