What I like about Bill Burr is that he isn't wearing a mask. He isn't a character named Bill Burr, He is who he is, it's not an act for him to be hilarious. Great Interview!
I grew up the same in the 90s. I think it was really after 9/11 and the explosion in popularity of the internet, cellphones and online gaming in the early 2000s is when Kids started growing up REALLY sheltered and protected, and being inside all day everyday.
I was born in 1990, we used computers to AIM each other then meet up somewhere and play outside all day, then sleep at each others houses and play video games of the sports we played all day at night.. and no parents until 4 pm and no babysitters! so early 90s kids are the last of the good old days
I spent my childhood in the 90s and watching F is for Family reminded me so much of what it was like for me. I used to wake up in the morning, hop on my bike and go door to door of my friends' houses to see who was around and then we'd go from there. All of our parents were cool with us just going off and doing our thing as long as we were home for dinner or called the house if were doing otherwise. I think it was only in this past decade that the PC culture started kicking in and people couldn't just let their kids do their thing. I actually talked about this with my cousins about how we hated being around the adults as kids and would just run off the minute we walked in the door and played games together. Now we've started witnessing our younger cousins not really knowing what to do anymore without receiving direction from their parents. They seem to feel like they can't just run off like we used to anymore. It's pretty sad to see.
+Sean Lenehan I also grew up in the 90s and what you describe is exactly how our neighborhood was. We used to get together with the neighborhood kids and play "guns" in the neighborhood. We used the toy guns and bb guns that looked real because those clear ones look stupid to us. We would climb on the roofs of peoples houses, go in their yards etc. Pretty brazen when you think back about it, but I just can't imagine kids playing like that now....
Sean Lenehan im having flashbacks . remember all those variations of tag. or tiggy as we used to call it. we'd hide in an area of a few blocks. riding bikes thru drains. walking miles to the swimming pools and buying hot chicken rolls and slurpees on the way home. me & my friends were lucky to have a magazine distributor in our neighbourhood. they had huge dumpsters out the back filled with video game/music/ PORN mags!! it was a gold mine!
You should have been a kid in the 70s. Parents kicked us out da house first thing in the morning and you would be made to regret coming home before dark. They'd put you to work doing some shitty job. I had two stepbrothers. One 3 months older,other 2 yrs older. The only 2ay to settle anything was a fight to the death. It was awesome. And nobody was a tattletail. Tattle tails got their ass beat too or they beat the other so bad,you felt so sorry for them you'd never do it again. If your face got messed up,you told them you had a bike wreck or you fell off a bluff. At 4 yrs old,we were roaming 200achers of forest,fishing exploring caves when we got older,swimming in the creek,picking w/ our backs to each other in a circle,ate raw food out da garden. Come to think of it,we were neglected. I think they thought there's 3 off em,got two spares. The best times of my childhood was spent as far from those ppl paying the bills as we could get. Its weird because in not even 50 but we lived like kids in the 40s.
+Race Spec idk I lived in the midwest in Detroit. I still have an imagination, I played with sticks, built forts, rode bikes down the street, all that. sure we weren't as free as the 70s but then me being a little white kid, I couldn't go more than a block without worrying about getting snatched. so I played video games at night. there was certainly no, go in the store and get a beer for your dad when I was growing up. it's not fair haha. although we see guys like bill cosby paying for shit he did in the 70s. still he got to do it. and he as a black should know the white media would never let him buy NBC. now that i've changed the subject. PEACE!
+yellowdart6666 that's the thing I think the city is where this change happened the most. I live in a rural area and kids are outside playing all the time.
me 2...wooww..I was a nerd at school..reading all those books and when I got older..I hardly could read a page without my mind going off to a fantasy story about some thing else..
One night I was sick of my brother always winning fights we got into so I threw a steak knife at him and it stuck in his shoulder. That sounds horrible and I feel bad for it today, but that's kind of funny...right?? I mean you had to be there, but I was expecting to hit the wall and scare him, but I scarred him...hahahaa!! I love that crazy shit.
Bill burr good man cuh he defend uz black folk he know det we victum in sociaty and we aint got a voice we get pushed to da side like we slavs still so az a proud black man I thank him for standin up an defendin uz.
+capatheist o cuh u whyte u think it ok to tryn make fun of black folk cuh u superir right bruh u think cuh yo whytness u got uperhand right racizt azz whyt boy
any opinions on the cut off date for childhoods at least similar to growing up in the 70s? I'm 1991 and have a lot of these memories. thinking the cut off date is somewhere around 95' judging by the comments. but im not arrogant enough to assume i have any idea what living in a decade 20 years before I was born was like. I just wish i could drive and have a few beers no problem and have a white cop pull me over and just tell me to go home.
8:45 "Kill the man with the ball" ?!?! What a sissy PC name Bill changed it into. I grew up in San Diego and in the mid 70's we called it "Smear the Queer". No team, just a bunch of kids on any grass we could use, each trying to strip the football from the kid who currently had it. Everyone went for the kid with the ball. No scoring, just tackle the kid with the ball and try to get it from him. Then run and try to keep from getting tackled and stripped of the ball for as long as you can. BTW...We had zero knowledge of gays, and did not know that queer was slang for guys who liked guys. It just never crossed our minds. Just saying, there was no hatred in the name. We were under 10 years old. Definitely could use that name today. I guess that is the main premise behind F is for Family.
Well he grew up in boston which is different. Sure they definiteky cursed a lot back then but the writers arent being PC they are trying to not overuse insults too much because it can get annoying and lack power.
Bill is too old, my generation was the last one to have the freedom he is describing and I'm 37, he's 10 years older, but what he's describing was exactly what we were doing as kids in the '80s.
With the Bruce Jenner thing, can I just ask, why do I HAVE to accept that? Why do I have to pretend he's a girl now to fulfill his fantasy? I don't give a fuck if he does it, but why do I have to go along with it?
Well, it doesn't have anything to do with you (wild guess), so it's actually quite irrelevant what you think about it. Are you sure you don't give a fuck?
It has to do with me when I get scolded for using the "wrong" pronouns. If that dude wants to wear a dress, that's fine. I don't want to control him. I don't *care* what he does. What I care about is not being controlled. You are correct. What I think is irrelevant. My irrelevant thoughts have hurt people, though. They shouldn't, because they are irrelevant.
+Metal Mayhem I didn't mean to say your thoughts are irrelevant, not at all. You hurt someone, that's then another issue. But Bruce Jenner, seriously? This is the media telling us what to pay attention to.
Just to clarify, I mean my thoughts have hurt peoples feelings. And people are paying attention to it, he was voted woman of the year. People correct you if you call Bruce "he" If Bruce wants to be a girl, my thoughts should be irrelevant to him. My point is that the media and this new hive mind, are pushing that I have to conform. If I don't call him a her, I could be fired, assaulted, blacklisted, etc etc. Lives are ruined daily over irrelevant thoughts.
I get your point, I do. I guess my point is to consciously pick your battles... You are simultaneously saying you couldn't care less, yet you see this as a matter of principle and conformity that you need to take a stand against. Which one is it? (Also, if (s)he's *legally* a woman, couldn't that be a good indicator for a correct pronoun? I know there are all kinds of genderfluid narcissists nowadays demanding you use "their" pronouns, but that's just silly. Whereas a sex change... Somehow I don't see the big problem.)
What I like about Bill Burr is that he isn't wearing a mask. He isn't a character named Bill Burr, He is who he is, it's not an act for him to be hilarious. Great Interview!
+pro As long as you don't try to go trick or treating while the sun is still up.
...I guess masks can't sunburn. Wow is this how Vos feels :\
I love Bill. Such a genuine and bad ass guy. So humble, down to earth and fun to listen to. We need more of him in this world.
genuine? he shat all over O&A show after he had gotten famous
I was diagnosed with AHBD and it turned out fine.... Ant: What's that Jimmy? Jimmy: adorable, huggable boy disorder. Ant: oh, so you're cured
Lighthing cumia
One of Anthony's finest moments. On a good day, no one is faster
O & A and Ron & Fez are timeless
One of the best but what does that have to do with this?
Ronny B and Billy Red Face!!? I had no idea this was coming. Thanks dude. two
fucking brilliant minds together!
THIS is the BEST Bill Burr video on youtube...share it folks.
+Brett Brohman -4th time listening.
+Brett Brohman Bill and Ron are both some of my favorite people to listen to. This is really great!
Thanks Stevey. Love ya, miss ya.
Thanks so much for uploading this.
steven knight has changed my life many years ago. once again,. \thank you for the hard work.
God damn, Mr. B never got the recognition he deserved.
I grew up the same in the 90s. I think it was really after 9/11 and the explosion in popularity of the internet, cellphones and online gaming in the early 2000s is when Kids started growing up REALLY sheltered and protected, and being inside all day everyday.
Nah it started in the 90s
I love this guy. I wished I knew he was coming to Montreal.
What a quality podcast! Very interesting and fun the whole way.
best comedian on the planet
his statements on education are spot on.
love Bill and his monday morning pod cast hope to see him when he next plays Dublin
this was great love bill.. got to see him last month great fucking show
I was born in 1990, we used computers to AIM each other then meet up somewhere and play outside all day, then sleep at each others houses and play video games of the sports we played all day at night.. and no parents until 4 pm and no babysitters! so early 90s kids are the last of the good old days
Early 90s kids were the ones that started being sheltered
two of the funniest people on the planet.
Bill Burrs material on family and relationships is my favourite part of his comedy. I think it's better than Louis CK.
I spent my childhood in the 90s and watching F is for Family reminded me so much of what it was like for me. I used to wake up in the morning, hop on my bike and go door to door of my friends' houses to see who was around and then we'd go from there.

I was born in 95 and my childhood sounds like the same as Bill's.

Congratulations?
MUAHAHAHAH! "The French maid outfit for paedophiles."
hey... it's Billy Tangerine Taint!
Bill Burr - that thing a duck uses to catch fish feathers with.
Bill was spot on when talking about his reading problems, everything said i am the exact same way. its scary
me too, it was weird hearing someone else have that problem now i realize I'm not the only one.
me 2...wooww..I was a nerd at school..reading all those books and when I got older..I hardly could read a page without my mind going off to a fantasy story about some thing else..
I constantly reread novels. Currently I'm rereading tommyknockers and robopocalypse
Great channel
Becky Burr. Fantastic.
Bill apparently thinks "Jaws" is a documentary...
thumbnail looks like the new season of Making a Murderer
One night I was sick of my brother always winning fights we got into so I threw a steak knife at him and it stuck in his shoulder. That sounds horrible and I feel bad for it today, but that's kind of funny...right?? I mean you had to be there, but I was expecting to hit the wall and scare him, but I scarred him...hahahaa!! I love that crazy shit.
Where's the visual link to this?
13:36 - The way he describes ADD / trying to read here is me... It's a pain in the ass.
Bill burr good man cuh he defend uz black folk he know det we victum in sociaty and we aint got a voice we get pushed to da side like we slavs still so az a proud black man I thank him for standin up an defendin uz.

...last generation to play on their own outside... I'm born in 1987 and did that and the whole street did.
Same here
He's talking generally idiot
Bill to me is great about many things. The one thing that byggs me about him is that he seems to carry white guilt.
Well having a black wife might have something to do with it but I don't know
+UncleJerk How so?
+UncleJerk Guilt in general, yes! don't we all? I have black guilt lots of it. 50 shades of black guilt.
+spooninspoon I can only name like...5 shades of black though. black, charcoal, tan, gray...uh, deep purple?
+UncleJerk All whites should carry some quantity of white guilt.
I believe Keith Richards. He's probably alive for a reason.

For my own reference
Newspapers mail their papers now. Cheaper. Sad but true.

No they're trying to be pc
no one is fucking running out of water, bill. jesus christ i wish he'd get over that already
So finaly he got his helicopter! Remember few years back he was complaining in one of his gigs he didn't achieve anything... :-)
Bill is too old, my generation was the last one to have the freedom he is describing and I'm 37, he's 10 years older, but what he's describing was exactly what we were doing as kids in the '80s.
lecousinmachin 80s is when video game culture began stupid you don't have to take what he says so literal

Bill should grow a beard
+ElcoMoyer He had a beard in Breaking Bad.
I can never tell if Bill Burrs wife Nia is an actual SJW or just trying to protect him from saying something she knows will offend them.
