Sports, Being Isolated, Evil Records | Thursday Afternoon Monday Morning Podcast 2-6-25 | Bill Burr

Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Thursday afternoon,
just before Friday, Monday morning podcast, and I'm just checking in on you.
How are you? How's it going?
Sorry, I'm fucking out of it.
Just went to the Bruins Rangers game at Madison Square Garden.
Fucking crowd was dead.
Just a dead crowd.
You know, Bruins played two games, two nights in a row.
I don't know if they were a little tired.
The game was a little flat, at least on our side, to start.
Played the whole fucking first period, it felt like, in our end.
And then they came out, scored a goal early in the second period, and we didn't
do jack shit, and there was five minutes left.
And I said to my buddy, I go, let's get one before the fucking period ends,
right?
Fucking score a goal, like 15 seconds after that.
And then, like, as they're announcing that goal, we give them the old right
there fret.
Again.
Two to one.
It's fucking great, right?
Then we go in the third period.
Of course, they tie it up, 2-2.
What's going to happen?
We going to power play late.
Hey, let's get the game winner.
Let's win this thing 3-2.
Bum, bum, ba-dum, bam.
They get a fucking shorty.
The shorty.
The pick six of hockey.
Short-handed goal.
Sad to say, I haven't watched much of the Bruins at all.
I've been so goddamn busy, so we got a, definitely got a lot of, I was looking
up some of the defensemen.
That 55, 91, both 6'6".
What do you think about those super tall players?
They're amazing when they're, like, defensemen, but you can't have them be
forwards.
I swear to God.
The puck gets in their skates.
They can't find it.
They're fucking looking up.
They're too goddamn big.
They're like basketball players out there.
But, yeah, I'm a stand-up comedian.
I haven't watched a game all this year.
I watched fucking three periods, and now I'm going to be the GM about who needs
to be what.
I'm just saying.
They're fucking huge.
Rangers, too.
Jesus Christ.
They got that one kid there, right?
He likes to fight.
He's, like, 6'8".
It's just insane.
Every once in a while, I watch some clips from the 1980s, which I'm so psyched
I went and saw hockey then.
I didn't realize it at the time, but it was a golden age.
It was the second golden age of hockey, and then it was also the second, I
would say the first golden age of basketball.
With Bird, Magic, Dr. J, Isaiah, Dominique Wilkins, all of those guys.
Sidney Moncrief.
These are all the guys that were in the league.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
All those great Lakers.
James Worthy, all of them.
And Bird, Parrish, McHale.
Jack Sigma.
I know I'm going to forget a bunch of.
Tree Rollins.
Joe Dumars.
Who else?
Adrian Dantley.
He'd fucking light it up.
Anyway, they had all these great players.
Oh, fucking Sugar Ray Robinson.
Not Robinson.
Sugar Ray.
Oh, Sugar Ray Robinson was the best.
Richardson.
Michael Ray Richardson.
Sorry.
Michael Ray Richardson.
Oh, Bernard King.
How the fuck do I forget him?
Bernard King.
Patrick Ewing.
I mean, it was amazing.
Everybody had like a fucking guy that could drop 30, it seemed.
And then they had a seven-footer.
Moses Malone.
Daryl Dawkins.
All those players.
And then in hockey, simultaneously, you had Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Steve
Iserman.
The end of Marcel Dion, Guy Lafleur, their careers.
Those guys.
Who else?
Who else was scoring all the goals back then?
Oh, you had like the fucking Brian Trottier, Mike Bossy, all those great Islanders.
We had Rick Middleton, Brad Pack, Michelle Goulet.
The Stastny brothers up there in fucking Quebec for the Nordiques.
Lanny McDonald, my fucking uncle out there in Calgary.
It was an amazing time.
All those defensemen.
Yeah, Ray Bork, Paul Coffey, Al McGinnis.
Al McGinnis shooting the puck over 100 miles an hour.
No net over the glass.
How the fuck that guy never killed somebody's beyond me.
All that shit was going on.
So I would go down to the Boston Garden.
Scalp tickets.
And I get to see these people play.
All those people I mentioned, I didn't get to see all of them.
But I saw a lot of the hockey players.
I definitely saw that Islanders team.
I saw all the Canadians teams.
The first fucking 10 hockey games I went to at the Boston Garden was Bruins-Canadians
because I loved the fights.
And they fucking hated each other.
That's back when they had Chelios, Guy Carboneau,
Stéphane Richer.
Who was some of that?
Spoboda.
Whatever the fuck that guy's name was.
That trash can helmet.
Patrick Waugh.
Yeah.
I went up to the old forum.
The second forum, I saw the fucking Canadians versus the North Stars after my
friend fucking puked in a strip club on St. Catherine Street.
They were good times.
Anyway.
But I'll tell you, I watched those old clips now and how small the guys look.
Fucking Bob Probert.
It was like the golden age of like, oh, that's another thing.
I forgot all the enforcers.
Chris Nyland, Jay Miller, Bob Probert, Clark Gillies, rest his soul.
John Cordick, rest his soul.
Willie Plett, all of these tough guys.
Oh, what's that one guy's name?
He actually played with the Nordiques.
Oh, he was a fucking mean son of a bitch.
What the fuck was his name?
Ah, whatever.
I'll remember it.
Later.
That's Savard.
What the fuck was his name?
This guy had the late hit after that guy scored the goal to win it.
He skated over and fucking checked him into the boards.
And fucked him up.
For some reason, he came up and he coached the Capitals and was good.
This isn't even a podcast.
This is just me sitting alone babbling about sports.
All right.
Let me fucking move on here.
Anyway.
So, I was walking out of the garden.
It's funny.
Fucking New York sports fans were giving me shit.
Going, yeah, yeah.
Too bad for your Bruins or whatever.
I'm like, yeah, you know, whatever.
We had a, you know, I'm a happy sports fan.
We did pretty good over the last few years, right?
This guy goes, you had a nice run.
Had a nice run.
We had a fucking historic run.
You cunt.
He goes, yeah, I know.
All the New York teams suck right now.
Yeah.
I go, yeah.
Man, you got 50.
You're like double down, if not triple down in every sport.
I've said that for a long time, man.
One of the saddest things, once you get out of Giants, Yankees, I mean, Jesus
Christ.
That is the fucking lunar landscape out here.
I'm not going to go through it.
I've done it a million times.
But anyway, we got the Super Bowl this weekend.
Who do you like?
Such an interesting game because I feel like the Eagles, you know, could easily
beat it.
Not easily, but I mean, I'm saying it would not be a surprise to me at all if
they beat this team.
And it all comes down to, like, what does the fucking NFL want?
What they wanted, they got.
They got the Chiefs there again.
You got Taylor Swift with all her fans.
So they've made their money.
All the owners are going to make their fucking money, right?
So you got that going on.
So then the thing about them is what storyline do they want?
Okay?
It's not a big deal if the Eagles win another one because they just won one.
They beat the Patriots.
When do they beat us?
17 or something like that.
16, 17, something like that.
So it's not like you'd end this big drought.
If the Chiefs win, Denny three-peats.
Denny gets his fourth.
And it's like, is he going to have more than Tom Brady?
And I really think that they love that storyline.
I really think that they love that storyline.
However, if they're just happy that they got there and they have their money,
then maybe they just let him play and the refs don't make crucial fucking
decisions,
then I think it's anybody's game.
I honestly think that.
I really, I really, I know I said, I keep saying I'm not going to talk about
this,
but I really just, I feel like, you know, nobody had won four Super Bowls as a
quarterback
other than Bradshaw and Montana.
And it didn't happen again for like another 25 years when Brady did it.
And then he put it literally out of reach at seven.
He almost doubled, doubled the two guys with the most rings.
It's fucking insane.
No one's ever going to catch that guy.
The second he retires within five years, here's another guy.
And he's going to get his, he's doing it even faster.
Keep watching.
And, you know, I've always gone with the conspiracy theory with this shit.
And people have always given me shit.
Even when you find mobbed up refs and you hear ex-players talking about fucking
rigged games and shit.
But like, what about now that the leagues are literally in bed with fucking,
you know, gambling?
They're casinos.
It's fucking insane.
I know it kind of happened gradually, so you don't really notice.
But if you could just somehow take your brain back 25 years.
And if you, somebody told you Donald Trump was going to be president for the
second time.
Weed was going to be legal.
And you could legally gamble on sports at the fucking facility.
People would be like, you're out of your fucking mind.
None of that is happening.
Certainly not gambling in sports because that was the number one thing that
they were fucking against.
It is fucking nuts.
It is nuts.
So anyways, I am here in New York City.
I don't know, we've been working this week, rehearsing with the play and
everything.
It's been fucking great.
I've actually really, really been enjoying it.
I don't think I've ever gotten to work on something, you know, scenes and stuff
to this level.
With, like, other actors and stuff.
Like, I've done, there's been a few movies where we've done, like, table reads.
And I want to say on one project, the person had us rehearse.
I think, you know, I did a couple of TV things where they would have you rehearse.
But nothing to this level.
So it's been really already, I've always said, you know, I'm a comedian, right?
That's basically what I do.
So I act when they let me.
When they ask me to, I go, yeah, I'll do that.
And I have always, all these actors that I admire, I always ask them, like,
what they do.
And they, I just keep reading the script.
I just keep reading it.
I kept reading it.
I'm like, like, I never understood that.
I'm like, you read it, you know what happens.
That's what my dumb brain was thinking.
Now I'm really, every time you read it, you pick up on something else.
You just keep reading it and you get, like, these ideas, like, oh, fuck.
Oh, that means this.
Oh, what if I did it this way or whatever.
So I'm finally getting to do that.
I finally kind of have the time.
Because I remember I took this acting class a long time ago.
And the teacher was saying, this is what it's like to do a movie.
It's like, you just show up and you're like, all right, yeah, okay, you're
playing this guy.
And, you know, your mom just died.
And action, you know.
I mean, obviously, like, you know your lines and shit like this.
Okay, this is the lady playing your wife.
You guys are both devastated.
Your house just fucking, you know, slid down the fucking hill with your dog in
it.
And action, you know.
It's always like some fucking crazy thing and you just have to get there and do
it.
And they put all this music and shit and all of that stuff underneath it.
And doing a play is, like, completely different.
And I cannot tell you how much I've been enjoying this process or whatever.
So, oh, Billy's got to get his fucking steps in, though, man.
All this rehearsing, you know, and this New York food.
I don't want to come out there looking like a fucking, you know, Michelin man.
Oh, Jesus.
I'll tell you right now.
Nothing will keep you in shape like being a male ginger.
You don't want to be.
You can't add fat to that.
You know what I'm saying?
You're already fucking walking uphill your whole life.
You can't add fat.
Fucking pasty, redheaded, freckled cunt.
You can't add fat in there.
Okay, I'm stopping it, pasty, freckled, redheaded cunt.
Former redheaded, red-faced cunt.
You know, that's enough.
I think that's enough for the world to look at.
Okay, it's Squarespace, man.
