@Ba Doai wtf is this link you keep putting in every comment Edit: Looks like the guy doesn't know english well, just showing off a video with his cat. Now I feel like an asshole
I once saw a drunk girl talk mad shit to this guy unprovoked for like an hour, and eventually get slapped hard in the face by him. She ran crying and told her boyfriend, and his response was "well, what did you do?" Don't know if I've ever laughed so hard.
I love coming back to watch JRE clips multiple times. Certain guys, like Burr, can always give me a laugh. Especially on stressful days. Great laughter therapy
Well, yes, it WAS that way more so when I was growing up, but it's changed a lot. Many parts of Boston have become very progressive and more liberal, and therefore there's a lot more of people that either hold it inside, or get REAL nasty with language instead lol! It's really changed in the last 20 years or so mostly. ~JSV
"We were getting shitfaced." "They were selling blow there." "He was on PCP." *literally 25 seconds later* "I wonder why Boston is such a rough place."
Unless you live in the Boston area, at least anywhere within 495 and especially 95/93, you really don't know how someone can say that, mean it with conviction, and still actually have a point.
I grew up in Boston and as a kid I remember my mom walking my brother and I to a store and some people were arguing on the sidewalk about a half a block in front of us and somebody got shot right in the middle of the sidewalk and my mom just crossed the street and we just kept walking... It was an insane time but then I remember moving to PA and I got into a LOT of fights, then I realized that I was the one who was starting fights, I guess I brought the fighting mood w/ me from Boston. 🤣
I went to PS236 in Brooklyn. My mom and I saw a guy get stabbed in the thigh during an altercation and we cut through the school parking lot and went on home. Never discussed it.
Difference back then most fights ended as fights, in other cities physical confrontations seem more likely to escalate to weapons etc so people aren't as ready to throw hands

This brings back so many memories. I grew up in Boston and back in the 90’s it was madness. The mass melees were insane. The craziest fights I was in were actually at Tufts parties. Locals from Medford or Somerville would often crash them. Those fights were absolute madness. I can’t believe I lived through that. Haha.
Same here. I grew up in Somerville in the 80's. There was always a fight going on. I still can't relax to this day. I always have my back to the wall at a bar and always feel out the place for a brawl that never happens anymore. My wife and kid say how do you go from 1 to 100 instantly no matter what time of day it is. I tell them sorry but that is what you needed to survive growing up where I did.
@@MuckoMan I was bon and raised in Somerville as well. Went to the Carr school, then Cummings, then Powder House. I lived mostly just outside of Teele Sq. Yeah, some crazy shit went on before it got all "hippie chic".

I love when these guys tell old Boston stories! Lived my whole life a stone’s throw from Grill 93. Both these guys tell stories about crazy guys they knew and I can always relate it to guys I knew or stil know. There’s a certain kind of grit, character and humor that comes out of this area, especially from Boston and North through the “Merrimack Valley” where Grill 93 is that is pure gold. It’s very evident in Burr’s stand up. He’s still 90% Boston man!
I used to hang out with this friend who was on the small size, about 5' 2" and 110lbs. Guy was the nicest, funniest dude I ever knew. However, when we went out to bars, the fun would start. Being small he was used to being screwed with and he was a highly trained fighter. By the time I knew him he had graduated to what he called, "full on practical street fighter champion level." He explained that in a street fight you have to leave your ego and ethics at home, you either win or could die. As a result, when we were at the bar and if someone started F'ing with him he simply picked up a beer bottle without saying a word, cracked the person over the head, then proceeded to kick the shit outta the guy until he was satisfied he was not getting back up. It was funny as shit to see this. Some big monster, MMA fighter dude thinking he had an easy mark and one sentence in the dude was seriously regretting his life choices. Funny thing is because of my friends demure size and his overall very affable demeanor, worse thing that ever happened was security asking us to leave. Guy never lost a fight. F'ing hilarious.
People on the smaller size can be much more ruthless and vicious in conflicts to compensate for a lack of physical strength. It's risky, could kill someone but like he said, you could die if you don't win
Everyone between the age of 30-60 in Boston has a million stories like this😂 I’m from here and my dad and all his friends have countless stories identical to these
Watching Bill Burr reliving his young days was awesome. Just a crazy time to be young and just finding trouble and brotherhood every night. Family on the streets.Very cool.
I can relate to the stories and I can relate to Bill's position. I grew up on the outskirts of St. Louis. Middle school up was basically gladiator camp. It wasn't a couple fights a year like a lot of people I met later would say about their schools. It wasn't a fight per week or just one per day. It was multiple fights in multiple parts of the school between every single period. Kids getting hauled off in ambulances. I saw a kid blast a kid point blank in the side of the head with a brick and proceeded to pound him while he twitched on the ground. I had around 5 fights in that 7 year period and I was the anomaly. I was the one who ducked fights. I was the easy mark that nobody took advantage of. Meanwhile my friends were full on savages. We were almost in the country but sort of close to the suburbs. I remember when we would run into people at the mall and they found out what school we went to we just had an automatic pass. Mind you, I thought all of this was normal until my late 20s that I learned that fights were much more rare most other places. To this day I have PTSD from that. People around me now think I am war ready and I am not. I am actually afraid to fight. If you see me, I have definitely seen you. I analyze everyone as a threat first even as I smile in their face. As they smile at mine I am thinking of ways this can go sideways. It was drilled into me that beatings are just a bad choice of words away. And country boys and girls can fight.
@check1240 Jeffco. Grew up in High Ridge and went to Northwest. There wasn't a lot of crossover between North County and Jeffco. So I have no idea what your situation was like. However, if it were the 70s through the 90s, it was probably the same but demographically different. I have friends from South County that have pretty much the same story as me so it wouldn't surprise me if the infamous North County was just about the same.
Fab StillSmokin my dad grew up on south side of Boston. One time the kids on the other side of tracks tried to steal my uncle’s gumball machine, and put a giant screwdriver to his stomach. They told my dad (his older brother) that if he didn’t take an ass whoopin’ they would put that screwdriver through my uncles stomach. My pops took that beat down. Then went back with all his friends later that night and beat the living shit out of all of them. That was the 70’s tho.
"Boston is a fighty place"-I was in a Boston supermarket picking out produce and an old woman just randomly started ramming her cart into me to get me to move. I had been standing there for less than 3 seconds. People in Boston will fight you over anything. God holds the Irish close to his heart.😂🤣😂🤣😂
Stop. I was born and raised there, I’ve lived all over the east coast since becoming an adult, it’s no worse than anywhere else, we just have knobs who love to perpetuate that myth. It’s Bullshit.
some people are trying to turn the situation into something its not www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-14/fox-news-removes-altered-images-of-seattle-protest-zone-chaz/12353582
you guys sum shit up so much. theres so much gun violence in Dorchester, Roxbury, and mattapan. lmao. it's a culture of gun violence since the 80s. but ya, the rest of boston, this stands true.
Similar to Joe’s story about the girl getting punched - I witnessed a girl get slammed in the face by a drunk dude while I bartending, and the bar became a WWF free-for-all. I’d never seen anything like it. The funniest move I’ve ever seen in a fight happened, too, when a guy went out onto the bar patio, grabbed one of those massive 6 ft. tall space heaters, held it like a battering ram and jousted his way through the hoard. It was so f’n entertaining that I poured myself a beer, sat on the counter next to the register and watched it as if I were watching a heavyweight tile match on television. To this day, I’ve never seen a bar fight that insane. If Dalton and Wade Garret showed up, I wouldn’t have even been surprised.
Bill Burr is such an amazing story teller. Could listen to him all day. "The characters I grew up with, they weren't trying to be funny. He was dead serious when he said that."
I worked at Kayem foods when I was a teenager and some guys I worked with brought me to King Arthur’s in Chelsea, it was phenomenal first time being served liquor that became the spot after that
Lived in Boston for 25 years now, it’s not really like this anymore, the good will hunting type of ”you want to go? Let's go” type fights don't happen much, it’s a safe city, cops get on your ass quick. Only fights I’ve seen in the past few years are plastered college kids playing patty cake at quincy market. But back early late 90s and 00s... yeah there was a code like a hockey fight - cops would give ya a go which was about 15 seconds... as long as it was all fists.
East coast code was different in the late 80s. Heavy taekwondo influence which embodies respect. Outside of Dojo, On the streets complete opposite back then. Brawls every night. My uncle David Randall fought in Rhode Island in the 80s under Danny Zarbo and became Super Lt Wt 135-40 N. American and European Kickbox champion.
I laughed so hard at "it was the wrong party" ALSO the fact that Joe, the guy traveling to twd tournaments, NOT wanting to kick ass but just trying to get away? Instantly understood that, the selfdefense guys are always the ones that DONT wanne fight.
I wont fight people just because everyone is beating the shit out of eachother. If its not a friend of mine getting hit or no one tried to hit me I dont see any reason to jump in the action…
😶 also, i think there's a law that says folks highly trained in any kinda self defense or hand to hand combat have to 'register their hands' once they reach pro level. i know boxers do. their hands are literally considered a deadly weapon. they ain't allowed to get into random fights like that. for them, it ain't assault, it's considered attempted murder.
Wow , this really brings back memories. These guys are so spot on with the vibe of that era. I was born in Boston in the late 50's and still live in MA today. The fight mentality they describe was very real in the 70's and 80's. Joe said,"You could feel it in the air". Like how animals can sense an earthquake before it happens. You had to live here to really experience that. I was a cop for 25 yrs and dealt with some intense bar room brawls or "donnybrooks" over the years. I've ridden my motorcycle around the country and have been to many biker bars and have seen some "quarrels" but they don't compare to the insanity of Massachusetts back then. Don't get me wrong this is still a very violent country, but how they describe these times is an era gone by.
@@daryllndemmayah4874 nah, they just use guns or have people arrested for defending themselves in a fist fight nowadays. Kinda forced to bottle it all up until people get ended instead of injured, or at least take that risk. Even without weapons and legal charges, the mental health treatment out there for throwing a punch can mess people up for life.
“Some guys will go looking for a fight.” I remember the first time I witnessed this. It blew my mind that some guys literally just wanna fight. It’s also why I no longer go to bars. It’s just not worth it.
It wasn't really much of a problem in boston because those people never had a problem finding others willing to brawl, so it wasn't really about antagonizing innocent people
Growing up in Houston Tx and in the outskirts from elementary through highschool and thru my twenties we were constantly fighting, we were the thugs in high school having rumbles at parties against the varsity football team lol it was kinda like The Outsiders , good times, things are alot more chill now that im 41
At 13:32 " i never did coke" Joke laughs .... more like " back then when i was young i never did coke .... but did lots of coke once i got rich and famous" .... idk ... maybe not. But joe laughing at Bill when he said that and the look on Bill's face is priceless.
It was a Bruins-Rangers game in the 70s at MSG. Fans and Bruins were going at it near their bench and Terry O’Reilly went in the stands and started pounding the shit out of people. One guy in particular was wearing loafers and Milbury ripped it off and started whacking him with it.
Surprising how Joe seems to never have gotten into hockey. Not the first time I hear Bill talk about the Bruins or hockey more generally without much of a reaction from Joe.
I grew up in Hamilton Ontario Canada and listening to these stories reminds me of growing up in the Hammer. Tough working class town, only we didn't really know it at the time because it was all we knew. We figured that was just life. Having now moved to Toronto, it's like a different universe. I always chuckle a bit when people say that area or this area of Toronto is a rough part of town. I've walked all over Toronto day and night and have never felt "it". (Like what they were saying in the podcast about just feeling that something was going to happen.) I've never had that feeling in Toronto. But Hamilton, boy, you felt it.
I worked in clinical research and used to travel regularly to St Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton about 20 years ago from Boston area. I knew of Hamilton prior except their football team and the downtown area looked exactly as it probably appeared in the 70's, a working class, industrial city with a waterfront. The people of Hamilton were super nice but Downtown you better have been on your toes.
I used to live in Toronto. Finch avenue, excelsior apartment building (i think 715 was the number). Right across the street was this beautiful park. And some kid got murdered there by a group of other kids for no reason at all. I mean Toronto is like super safe compared to my hometown in Russia, but shit happens there too.
It was a bit of a different story in the 80s. There were plenty of rough and tumble parts of town before the factories and the jobs left. And bars where you'd be on edge all night, like Bill says. I preferred that so much more to the shiny, gentrified soulless place it is now.
I went to school in FL with a bunch of kids from Boston and the townies. It's gotta be in their blood up there to fight because these stories sound exactly like what they used to recall. "yah this rich girl threw this pahty to gain friends cause nobahdy liked her ass. Place got FAHKIN LOOTED bro! Kids walking out in her Dad's suits, pulling out all the deli meat from the fridge and makin sandwiches with fahkin couch cushions." 15 years later and I can hear them recalling fights and "pahties"
Stephanie Logan it really is a bad, terrible accent. One of my closest friends moved to Boston from Edmonton and saw me get in a argument with another friends gf (now wife). I was drunk and and the girls friend stole my jacket, and like 5 other coats from the bar. Somehow she took offense to me asking about my coat and I ended up screaming “yah a losssaahh” in the worst most stereotypical Boston accent. My friend loved it but I was so embarrassed the next day. Boston still has some of the old attitude and energy but it’s not the way it was. Rich white people have driven the housing prices so high that it’s destroyed all the old neighborhoods.
@@pat442389 it's a beautiful accent to an outsider. Accents across the country are getting lost everyday. Please let that baby sang loud n proud for me lol.
My mum grew up pretty rough in London but there was always supposed to be lines you didn't cross. However, when you went further away, it was a free-for-all. So while fist fights were normal where she lived, they'd bite off noses and ears further out. She ended up working in a famous pub out in ear-biting territory. It was so violent, the bouncers were like undercover cops and would sit at the end of the bar in street clothes. When it'd go off, they had a hidden stash of pickaxe handles to fight the customers with. It's not a different era, it's like a different planet.
It's great hearing Boston stories as I lived outside of Boston but went there all the time as the suburbs were boring. Saw most of the best fighting in the Garden. I loved when Lyndon Byers played for the Bruins.
@ThisIS MyRealName when the WWWF came to the Garden, it was fight night... I saw a full 30-man brawl pop off in the bathroom! It was a fight for survival just to make it out of there!

@M 40 uh in the 80s, it was the same everywhere, nothing special about boston lad
@M 40 ok brawls only happened in boston, men were not men elsewhere.. you're special and i'm sorry you had to go into the military
That would be figuratively not literally, those two words are antonyms and couldn’t be more opposite.
“Boston is a particularly fighty place.” Dude it’s full of Irish. That’s a stereotype for a reason.
Well, yes, it WAS that way more so when I was growing up, but it's changed a lot. Many parts of Boston have become very progressive and more liberal, and therefore there's a lot more of people that either hold it inside, or get REAL nasty with language instead lol!

Everyone between the age of 30-60 in Boston has a million stories like this😂 I’m from here and my dad and all his friends have countless stories identical to these
m.th-cam.com/video/euvCGNG9ykQ/w-d-xo.html Watch video on Bill vs Bill 😂❤️
Watching Bill Burr reliving his young days was awesome. Just a crazy time to be young and just finding trouble and brotherhood every night. Family on the streets.Very cool.
Got to love stories from my hometown. Growing up in Beantown was not easy in the 80s and 90s but Bill Bur makes these stories so hilarious.
"I'm so glad we did this, dinner was great and I never had so much fun playing Monopoly... Sweetie can you check who's at the door..."
that would be a hilarious short film sketch
Hello! Is there a party here?
BAM
KA PAO.
😂😂😭
the last thing you see is bill burr's big head before some guy reaches over him and decks you in the face
😂😂😂😂
guy punches a girl in the face
Joe: “Oh, he knows how to punch.”
It’s possible to hit girls with good technique too
I mean, just because you're a girl, doesn't mean you can slap or punch someone. That's gender equality right there.
It’s actually very sexist to even bring it up. If that was a make,no one would bat an eyelid.It’s 2021, get with the times
@@wilabanodeniro9780 cool, it’s just a punch, it’s not like he elbowed her.
I can relate to the stories and I can relate to Bill's position. I grew up on the outskirts of St. Louis. Middle school up was basically gladiator camp. It wasn't a couple fights a year like a lot of people I met later would say about their schools. It wasn't a fight per week or just one per day. It was multiple fights in multiple parts of the school between every single period. Kids getting hauled off in ambulances. I saw a kid blast a kid point blank in the side of the head with a brick and proceeded to pound him while he twitched on the ground. I had around 5 fights in that 7 year period and I was the anomaly. I was the one who ducked fights. I was the easy mark that nobody took advantage of. Meanwhile my friends were full on savages. We were almost in the country but sort of close to the suburbs. I remember when we would run into people at the mall and they found out what school we went to we just had an automatic pass. Mind you, I thought all of this was normal until my late 20s that I learned that fights were much more rare most other places. To this day I have PTSD from that. People around me now think I am war ready and I am not. I am actually afraid to fight. If you see me, I have definitely seen you. I analyze everyone as a threat first even as I smile in their face. As they smile at mine I am thinking of ways this can go sideways. It was drilled into me that beatings are just a bad choice of words away. And country boys and girls can fight.
Where were you LoL? I am from STL county area.
@check1240 Jeffco. Grew up in High Ridge and went to Northwest. There wasn't a lot of crossover between North County and Jeffco. So I have no idea what your situation was like. However, if it were the 70s through the 90s, it was probably the same but demographically different. I have friends from South County that have pretty much the same story as me so it wouldn't surprise me if the infamous North County was just about the same.
Sounds like Tahlequah Oklahoma
I’m from
Jeff co went to fox and never got into a fight actually, just in hockey but I never would count that as a actual fight
HEY! I GREW UP IN CHELSEA! LMFAO!!
imagine being jumped for playing monopoly with your nerd friends 😂😂😂😭
😂😂😂
My girlfriend bit me for beating her at Scrabble.....I always get edgy when the board games come out., Shit can pop off for real
Only thing worst would be if they were playing D&D
Lol and then, even the nerds fight in an instant.
Couples playing Monopoly. Classic. Can't make this shit up.
Growing up in Boston in the 70’s and eighties Friday night was fight night
Fact we had a bar called street lights changed to street fights one of the Bruins was part owner
Mike Fondanova go Bruins
Fab StillSmokin my dad grew up on south side of Boston. One time the kids on the other side of tracks tried to steal my uncle’s gumball machine, and put a giant screwdriver to his stomach. They told my dad (his older brother) that if he didn’t take an ass whoopin’ they would put that screwdriver through my uncles stomach. My pops took that beat down. Then went back with all his friends later that night and beat the living shit out of all of them. That was the 70’s tho.
Why did you spell 80s but not 70s?
I went to bars in Boston in the late 80’s and early 90’s, steroid era, lots of fights. Never see fights anymore.
"Boston is a fighty place"-I was in a Boston supermarket picking out produce and an old woman just randomly started ramming her cart into me to get me to move. I had been standing there for less than 3 seconds. People in Boston will fight you over anything. God holds the Irish close to his heart.😂🤣😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣 ... born N raised - very true
Was it at Stop and Shop or Johnnie's Foodmaster?
Stop. I was born and raised there, I’ve lived all over the east coast since becoming an adult, it’s no worse than anywhere else, we just have knobs who love to perpetuate that myth. It’s Bullshit.
K T Your bizarre overreaction to all of this tends to give credibility to the claims of Bostonians being hot-headed.
Just saying.
Shut up lol
Joe “always the commentator” Rogan
some people are trying to turn the situation into something its not www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-14/fox-news-removes-altered-images-of-seattle-protest-zone-chaz/12353582
m.th-cam.com/video/euvCGNG9ykQ/w-d-xo.html Watch video on Bill vs Bill 😂❤️
He is a Leo. Classic trait
I’m from Boston.
Absolutely nothing has changed.
People here don’t use guns-they throw their hands, and no one calls the cops.
The way it should be
Everybody has a blade tho
you guys sum shit up so much. theres so much gun violence in Dorchester, Roxbury, and mattapan. lmao. it's a culture of gun violence since the 80s. but ya, the rest of boston, this stands true.
pftttt its either gang violence or ball-less yuppies now wtf are you talking about
@@mattdoe531 I agree
Similar to Joe’s story about the girl getting punched - I witnessed a girl get slammed in the face by a drunk dude while I bartending, and the bar became a WWF free-for-all. I’d never seen anything like it. The funniest move I’ve ever seen in a fight happened, too, when a guy went out onto the bar patio, grabbed one of those massive 6 ft. tall space heaters, held it like a battering ram and jousted his way through the hoard. It was so f’n entertaining that I poured myself a beer, sat on the counter next to the register and watched it as if I were watching a heavyweight tile match on television. To this day, I’ve never seen a bar fight that insane. If Dalton and Wade Garret showed up, I wouldn’t have even been surprised.
The Road House reference is the cherry on top
Tell the whole story
😂😂
Good to see somebody out there is keeping the gentlemans art of jousting alive, however he can
That sounds freaking awesome!
*Girl gets decked in the face by some guy*
Joe: OH MY GOD THAT’S IT! SHE’S OUT COLD
“Right on the button” 😂
“SHES HURT”
“OH!!!”
“BOOM”
severely diminished
I love it when Bill Burr is relaxed and having fun. Warms my heart. Such a treat 😊
Same
Lol same.
They need Patrice there too
Joe is great at making anyone relax
"Warms your heart"... bit dramatic? 🙄🙄🙄
I started chuckling when Bill described that cop having a handful of that guys neck & jugular
Try to push me down the stairs eh?
As a New Yorker who moved to the Boston area back then...Joe and Bill are 100% correct, wild days!
I felt it when Bill said, "I think I'll be the funny guy"
Bill Burr is such an amazing story teller. Could listen to him all day. "The characters I grew up with, they weren't trying to be funny. He was dead serious when he said that."
I love how Bill Burr can admit he’s not a fighter and still be considered a “mans man”.
Because he wont back down from one. lol
i don't see it, he's clearly saying he's basically a pussy. a nice guy
U never been in fights in ur life because in real life a fight is a fight not mma rules or boxing . Don't ever under estimate nobody
@@dansmith935 what the fuck are you talking about Dan?
@@whoopityscoop5029 there's a lot of autistic comments on youtube latey, people talking like they're replying to the wrong comment
Love this two together. Bill actually has some respect for Joe.
Did Bill and his friends randomly beat up a family game of Monopoly?? 😂😂😂
It was a couple's night. If the guys at least didn't puss out, I bet you they got some action that night.
@@jimbarino2 I don't think they pussed out , what happened was they got jumped without knowing what was going on
If it was monopoly then getting interrupted by a brawl was probably a preferable outcome lmao
We all know what happens to friendships after a monopoly
In Boston Monopoly is played differently. If you pass go you get a beating
I used to live in Chelsea, I know the bar Bill's talking about, hilarious.
I worked at Kayem foods when I was a teenager and some guys I worked with brought me to King Arthur’s in Chelsea, it was phenomenal first time being served liquor that became the spot after that
@@johnb7053 They just demolished King Arthurs. What a fucking place.
King Arthurs.I used to go in there wit my buddies when we were 17 lol There was a porn store right across lmfao
Same
Yup I guessed King Arthur's. They're turning it into a marijuana dispensary now
Bills the friend that takes forever to pass the joint
You pass cigars?!
@Ethan Rhodes uh uh uh I don't think so...I think he genuinely meant it
Man idgaf he can fuckin hold onto it aslong as he keeps tellin stories!
Graham Soby yea I did genuinely mean it what’s the problem?
@@craigoneill2216 oh jeeeeesus.....
Lived in Boston for 25 years now, it’s not really like this anymore, the good will hunting type of ”you want to go? Let's go” type fights don't happen much, it’s a safe city, cops get on your ass quick. Only fights I’ve seen in the past few years are plastered college kids playing patty cake at quincy market. But back early late 90s and 00s... yeah there was a code like a hockey fight - cops would give ya a go which was about 15 seconds... as long as it was all fists.
It hasn’t been like that since the early 2000s. That’s when it all started to change and go super liberal, man bun wussy town.
There was never a “code” and cops would let you go at it. Stop.
East coast code was different in the late 80s. Heavy taekwondo influence which embodies respect. Outside of Dojo, On the streets complete opposite back then. Brawls every night. My uncle David Randall fought in Rhode Island in the 80s under Danny Zarbo and became Super Lt Wt 135-40 N. American and European Kickbox champion.
@@jonbarron8049 im 20 but man i truly wish i lived in a world witrh no internet
maybe like these guys with a mix of both
I'm in Texas. Whenever a fight goes down, I look for where I would need to take cover if the shooting starts
"Old Boston fight stories", yeah, they don't call us "Massholes" for nothing, lmao
Hey! Most of us are decent people...until you piss us off.
Exactly lol
I grew up in a suburb in Massachusetts...and there was always a big fight happening.
m.th-cam.com/video/euvCGNG9ykQ/w-d-xo.html Watch video on Bill vs Bill 😂❤️
Eastern Mass* - we dont like you either lmao
I laughed so hard at "it was the wrong party" ALSO the fact that Joe, the guy traveling to twd tournaments, NOT wanting to kick ass but just trying to get away? Instantly understood that, the selfdefense guys are always the ones that DONT wanne fight.
I wont fight people just because everyone is beating the shit out of eachother. If its not a friend of mine getting hit or no one tried to hit me I dont see any reason to jump in the action…
😶
also, i think there's a law that says folks highly trained in any kinda self defense or hand to hand combat have to 'register their hands' once they reach pro level. i know boxers do. their hands are literally considered a deadly weapon. they ain't allowed to get into random fights like that. for them, it ain't assault, it's considered attempted murder.
“He’d wrapped his hands going to work” 😂😂😂 I heard a lot of stories about people who lived In the Boston area would do that goin to work or going out
That’s when you know he’s a homie. “What am I doing? I’m gonna get murdered but he’s my friend”
❤️
The only thing missing from this is traditional Irish music simmering up as the story telling begins.
“He uncorked the perfect right hand”
“We were three abreast” burrs out here speaking Shakespearean
Exactly I was like okay sure Bill 😂😂😂
F1 talk
I'm glad i'm not the only one who caught that 😂😂
Bills a wordsmith man part of bein a comedian is knowin some vocab maaaan
@@zogbogbean2464 yes true but that’s not Bill burr schtick, he’s more of the clowning on someone who says abreast type comedian 😂
"I wanted this hand to get it's revenge" lmfao I'm dead bro
Wow , this really brings back memories. These guys are so spot on with the vibe of that era. I was born in Boston in the late 50's and still live in MA today. The fight mentality they describe was very real in the 70's and 80's. Joe said,"You could feel it in the air". Like how animals can sense an earthquake before it happens. You had to live here to really experience that. I was a cop for 25 yrs and dealt with some intense bar room brawls or "donnybrooks" over the years. I've ridden my motorcycle around the country and have been to many biker bars and have seen some "quarrels" but they don't compare to the insanity of Massachusetts back then. Don't get me wrong this is still a very violent country, but how they describe these times is an era gone by.
Hopefully it means things are getting better
@@daryllndemmayah4874 nah, they just use guns or have people arrested for defending themselves in a fist fight nowadays. Kinda forced to bottle it all up until people get ended instead of injured, or at least take that risk. Even without weapons and legal charges, the mental health treatment out there for throwing a punch can mess people up for life.
can everyone have the mentality of these two the world would be a better place x
Yeah... WAAAYYY too many assholes at bars that wanna show off and act like douche bags by starting a fight. Fake macho bullshit.
well look at you solving all of the worlds problems
"I'm okay, I wanna be the funny guy." lmao
When Bill was talking about his hilarious fight stories i was imagining the song "i'm shipping up to boston" in my head 😂
Poop o-o on the porch is probably pretty much popping up pppp
“Some guys will go looking for a fight.”
I remember the first time I witnessed this. It blew my mind that some guys literally just wanna fight. It’s also why I no longer go to bars. It’s just not worth it.
As long as no one died or gets seriously injured it’s probably healthy. Peopl have a chance to unwind on each other.
@@daryllndemmayah4874 worst take ever
@@Yigit-nw4et *Best take ever
lol, risk to reward ratio is extremely shitty. but suit yourselves guys.
It wasn't really much of a problem in boston because those people never had a problem finding others willing to brawl, so it wasn't really about antagonizing innocent people
Growing up in Houston Tx and in the outskirts from elementary through highschool and thru my twenties we were constantly fighting, we were the thugs in high school having rumbles at parties against the varsity football team lol it was kinda like The Outsiders , good times, things are alot more chill now that im 41
Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle both are 2 of the greatest comedians of all time, hands down!
Agree. Just hope Dave cuts it out with all his cringe behavior lately.
Gtfo. They're no George Carlin and Richard Pryor
Agreed
Bouncing in Boston was the wildest time I ever had. 10/10 would recommend for action.
@@koolmaaan or to stop acting like a tough guy on the internets
@Karl Papp p u s s y b o i
@Karl Papp then youd be in prison. Youd have some great fight stories then though.
"my boxing coach had his finger bit off in a fight"
jesus christ, imagine the guy who bites off a trained boxers finger
the guy was on pcp too!
At 13:32 " i never did coke" Joke laughs .... more like " back then when i was young i never did coke .... but did lots of coke once i got rich and famous" .... idk ... maybe not. But joe laughing at Bill when he said that and the look on Bill's face is priceless.
Joe is laughing at the story. Joey Diaz has said many times he would hide his coke use from Joe Rogan. Joe was anti all drugs years ago.
Literally what happened." I didn't know what was going on (until I tried it) I'll leave it at that"
'I never did coke so I didn't know what was going on'
*Joe's laughter bursting*
'😄I didn't know what was going on - Imma leave it at that 😄'
Bill has such a clear storytelling style. Excellent.
I agree. A random thought, though, is that we don't know the full story, so every story he tells seems complete and coherent
Bill: “I’m gonna tell a quick version” Joe: **whispers** “tell the whole version”. Bill: “no”
I was watching a hockey game the other night and a bug started crawling across the inside of my glasses and I immediately remembered this story lmao
I'm from the midwest, I can confirm we each get our own cornfield.
You know he's a proper hockey fan when he's ragging on Mike Millbury
"DUDE, This is like 6% alcohol!" 😂🤣☠
“Mike Milbury picking up the loafer” who understood this reference😂
i did lol
No what does it mean
It was a Bruins-Rangers game in the 70s at MSG. Fans and Bruins were going at it near their bench and Terry O’Reilly went in the stands and started pounding the shit out of people. One guy in particular was wearing loafers and Milbury ripped it off and started whacking him with it.
@@jimkelly7908 That shit was hilarious. 😂
@@jimkelly7908 thanz for explaining Jim!
Wow wadda fuckin reference and a moment i gotta look dis up!
Bill Burr is a master of comedic storytelling. One of the best if not the best.
"Hey is Bill Burr really from Boston?"
7:26 "I sweah ta gawd, I know this sounds like a joke..."
I love how Bill Burr mentions Mike Millbury’s name in passing and it totally went over Joe’s head
Surprising how Joe seems to never have gotten into hockey. Not the first time I hear Bill talk about the Bruins or hockey more generally without much of a reaction from Joe.
I have never laughed harder watching a jre clip
I grew up in Hamilton Ontario Canada and listening to these stories reminds me of growing up in the Hammer. Tough working class town, only we didn't really know it at the time because it was all we knew. We figured that was just life. Having now moved to Toronto, it's like a different universe. I always chuckle a bit when people say that area or this area of Toronto is a rough part of town. I've walked all over Toronto day and night and have never felt "it". (Like what they were saying in the podcast about just feeling that something was going to happen.) I've never had that feeling in Toronto. But Hamilton, boy, you felt it.
I worked in clinical research and used to travel regularly to St Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton about 20 years ago from Boston area. I knew of Hamilton prior except their football team and the downtown area looked exactly as it probably appeared in the 70's, a working class, industrial city with a waterfront. The people of Hamilton were super nice but Downtown you better have been on your toes.
What? My Aunt lives in Hamilton. It's full of lesbians and gays. I never heard that town describe as tough ever.
Imagine actually admitting that you're from Hamilton
I used to live in Toronto. Finch avenue, excelsior apartment building (i think 715 was the number). Right across the street was this beautiful park. And some kid got murdered there by a group of other kids for no reason at all. I mean Toronto is like super safe compared to my hometown in Russia, but shit happens there too.
It was a bit of a different story in the 80s. There were plenty of rough and tumble parts of town before the factories and the jobs left.
And bars where you'd be on edge all night, like Bill says.
I preferred that so much more to the shiny, gentrified soulless place it is now.
I went to school in FL with a bunch of kids from Boston and the townies. It's gotta be in their blood up there to fight because these stories sound exactly like what they used to recall. "yah this rich girl threw this pahty to gain friends cause nobahdy liked her ass. Place got FAHKIN LOOTED bro! Kids walking out in her Dad's suits, pulling out all the deli meat from the fridge and makin sandwiches with fahkin couch cushions." 15 years later and I can hear them recalling fights and "pahties"
Stephanie Logan it really is a bad, terrible accent. One of my closest friends moved to Boston from Edmonton and saw me get in a argument with another friends gf (now wife). I was drunk and and the girls friend stole my jacket, and like 5 other coats from the bar. Somehow she took offense to me asking about my coat and I ended up screaming “yah a losssaahh” in the worst most stereotypical Boston accent. My friend loved it but I was so embarrassed the next day. Boston still has some of the old attitude and energy but it’s not the way it was. Rich white people have driven the housing prices so high that it’s destroyed all the old neighborhoods.
@@pat442389 it's a beautiful accent to an outsider. Accents across the country are getting lost everyday. Please let that baby sang loud n proud for me lol.
Joe seriously has one of the most contagious laughs I’ve ever heard
Ok first of all don’t touch me. 🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao it's like a low key smokers laugh!!
Like an old man or something 🤣🤣
“I wanted this hand to get his revenge” 😩🤣🤣
Bill Burr: why did you throw a punch with this fist ?
Bill's friend: because i wanted it to get it's revenge. 😂
My mum grew up pretty rough in London but there was always supposed to be lines you didn't cross. However, when you went further away, it was a free-for-all. So while fist fights were normal where she lived, they'd bite off noses and ears further out. She ended up working in a famous pub out in ear-biting territory. It was so violent, the bouncers were like undercover cops and would sit at the end of the bar in street clothes. When it'd go off, they had a hidden stash of pickaxe handles to fight the customers with.
It's not a different era, it's like a different planet.
Mayhem!
It's great hearing Boston stories as I lived outside of Boston but went there all the time as the suburbs were boring. Saw most of the best fighting in the Garden. I loved when Lyndon Byers played for the Bruins.
Celtics games at the Garden as a kid in the 80s was amazing, fights everywhere, I cant even imagine what Bruins games must have been like
@ThisIS MyRealName when the WWWF came to the Garden, it was fight night... I saw a full 30-man brawl pop off in the bathroom! It was a fight for survival just to make it out of there!
LB from WAAF. Loved that guy
oh, if you liked fights, had to be Pie McKenzie.
@@NickKetolaMe too
"I'm gonna get knocked out but I have to go because they're my friends." That's whatsup.
Anyone else from Boston that love seeing one of their own with Joe, another native. ☘️☘️☘️
This is one of the greatest moments in the podcasts history
Luv it! The good ol' days! Just imagine sitting around a bar talking and listening to the stories.
“Cuz I never did... coke” bill that has to be the worst lie I’ve ever heard 😂😂
Ya Joe dimed him out with that laugh
At that point in his life is what he said, right? Haha. He was probably telling the truth.
He’s definitely on coke in this interview even lmao
@@Bleedpurple03 no hes not if you have a energetic trait or calm trait or any deviation in personality druggies think your high on shit espescially the ex druggies
THEPIELORD42 I’ve never did drugs beside smoke weed but I sell coke so I know when someone’s on it bro
Bill Burr: “I cannot slip a punch - I am too slow.”
Me after watching the Mandalorian: “But you sure can slip a quick shot in, huh?!”
😂
Well yeah, when it's scripted
leave the comedy to bill daniel, 😂
I grew up in the Boston area, around the same age as Bill, love hearing their stories!
