@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.
"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 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
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
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!

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".
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
very funny stuff only fight was 2 punches to my torso then a right cross miss in slo motion i saw his face i was so freaked i thought i better hit him he tried to hit me in the face i wind up telegraph a punch to face my had was swollen and in pain weeks i think i broke a bone a month later his friend cameup to me said he just got outof hospital i broke his eye socket i felt bad but i had 3 hot girls in my car after he hit me i was going to hit him i was in great shape 6 foot 180 pounds i put 18 pallets of fruit away every day 2000 boxes stacked up rotated in cooler boxes from 20-80 pounds stacked to 7 feet i did this for 2 years but i was new only did for 8 months before he hit me in the stomach i did not feel it i stood straight leaned back the punch went in front of my face then i saw his face in front of me i thought i better hit him he tried to hit me in the face so i wind up hit him hard in the face he went to his knees holding hois face
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
@@jeffreystark435 I went to Hendricks elementary in jackassville florida and me and my mama saw a man stark naked on pcp run straight thru a plate glass window. Lacerations all over. Even the dangling parts. Horrible atmosphere. We just kept walking
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 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
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
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."
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.
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.
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
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.
I spent 40 years in Boston. Right next to Chelsea and listen to people in Florida talk about fights and just laugh. Sooo many fights and crazy things happened!!
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
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
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.
“There’s always a loafer laying there, Mike Milbury pickin it up” 😂 That was shallow but sharp! Get Burr back on for some more old fight stories! Def one of my favorites
“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
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.
A few of us went to see this hardcore band in Boston around 1995/96, we got in and then not even a minute into the first song...a guy got thrown out of a window! I've been hooked on that band ever since.💪✌️
I'm from Boston and I will say, Bostonians are just built different. The community is full of characters like Bill describes. The culture of Boston just breeds a certain type of person 😂

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.

bill burr's storytelling is so vivid, i can literally picture everything he's saying, too funny.
M 40 fortunately, no one knew how to fight back then. It’s was like the A-team, millions of rounds used but no one ever got hurt
really?? they don't even compare to joe's...

@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

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. 🤣
Lol
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
Me: laughs in Cleveland, Oh.
@@jeffreystark435 I went to Hendricks elementary in jackassville florida and me and my mama saw a man stark naked on pcp run straight thru a plate glass window. Lacerations all over. Even the dangling parts. Horrible atmosphere. We just kept walking
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.
As a New Yorker who moved to the Boston area back then...Joe and Bill are 100% correct, wild days!
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.

Lol
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 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
I started chuckling when Bill described that cop having a handful of that guys neck & jugular
Try to push me down the stairs eh?

Because he wont back down from one. lol

I felt it when Bill said, "I think I'll be the funny guy"
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.
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
“The guy brought equipment.” 😂😂
Okay first of all don't touch me
“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! It's really changed in the last 20 years or so mostly.
~JSV
Yeah mate we're not like that in Ireland at all. Boston is full of Americans not Irish people.
@@CrackWarrior Indeed.
~JSV
I was thinking the same thing but it seemed so obvious. I was like “what am I missing here? Is this not an Irish city?”
I wonder if Bill Burr had ever crossed paths with the James "whitey" Bulger and the winter hill gang
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!
"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

well look at you solving all of the worlds problems
Bill Burr is a master of comedic storytelling. One of the best if not the best.
Bill burr is an amazing story teller
I'm in Texas. Whenever a fight goes down, I look for where I would need to take cover if the shooting starts
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
I spent 40 years in Boston. Right next to Chelsea and listen to people in Florida talk about fights and just laugh. Sooo many fights and crazy things happened!!
The only thing missing from this is traditional Irish music simmering up as the story telling begins.
Bill: “I’m gonna tell a quick version” Joe: **whispers** “tell the whole version”. Bill: “no”
"Didn't wash my hands after that one" 😂 underrated line
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.

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
“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
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.
“There’s always a loafer laying there, Mike Milbury pickin it up” 😂 That was shallow but sharp! Get Burr back on for some more old fight stories! Def one of my favorites
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
“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.

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
I went to Terry O’Reilly’s hockey camp in the late 60’s. He was a complete badass! But in camp with the kids, he was the kindest coach!
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.

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
