Chapter 1: Why does Bill Burr return to Conan's podcast?

00:03 - 00:19 Bill Burr

Hello, my name's Bill Burr. And I feel good about being Conan O'Brien's friend, but I feel this is a little red flag that might be a little narcissist that I got to fucking say why I'm his friend every time. I feel like I've already answered this question.

00:19 - 00:23 Conan O'Brien

I'm called a bottomless hole. There's no filling this. Every time you're going to have to repeat.

00:23 - 00:24 Bill Burr

Gee, what is that like?

0

00:27 - 00:46

Fall is here, hear the yell. Back to school, ring the bell. Brand new shoes, walking blues. Climb the fence, books and pens. I can tell that we are gonna be friends. Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

00:00 - 00:00 Conan O'Brien

Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, sitting here with Sona Mosessian and a giggling, I don't know why, Matt Gourley. It's the way I introduce the show, so just get over it. You can't giggle every single time.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown Speaker

I can't get over it because every time it's hilarious. It's like a nosebleed of change of environment. You go from to, hi and welcome to the show.

00:00 - 00:00 Conan O'Brien

I'm a professional broadcaster. Yeah. Okay. And I have a question and this is a serious question, which is, can I become flexible at my age? I mean, physically flexible. And this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately because I know people do yoga and stuff. I am a particularly tight, tight assed gentleman of a later vintage lifestyle.

00:00 - 00:00 Conan O'Brien

You see me all the time trying to stretch it out, don't you, Sona?

00:00 - 00:00 Sona Movsesian

I think your body is capable of it. I don't think your mind is capable of it. Be honest. I'm being very honest. Sounds honest to me. I think your body can become flexible if you work at it, but you're also so tightly wound, you're just like...

Chapter 2: Can you become flexible later in life?

09:51 - 09:57 Conan O'Brien

The text was the second one. And then, but I guess now it's actually the 15th. Um, well, I'm with you on that.

09:58 - 10:00 Unknown Speaker

How's flexibility of personality going?

0

10:00 - 10:01 Sona Movsesian

Nope.

0

10:01 - 10:03 Unknown Speaker

Is that in play at all? Iron rod. No.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Sona Movsesian

Maybe we evolve into a nicer person. Yeah. Maybe that's what we're... Who's going to listen to that podcast?

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

It's going to suck.

00:00 - 00:00 Conan O'Brien

It'll suck. Hey, let's go see the new Don Rickles. He's really nice to the audience. He gives everybody some fruit salad. Later. Don Rickles is broke. Thank you, RJ. All right, guys, let's get into it. My guest today, that's right, RJ's a redhead. I'm a redhead. My next guest today, also a redhead, hilarious comedian whose latest special, Bill Burr, Drop Dead Years, premieres March 14th on Hulu.

00:00 - 00:00 Conan O'Brien

He's also making his Broadway debut in Glengarry Glen Ross later this month. I love this guy. I'm thrilled he's with us today. Bill Burr, welcome. You and I have, we have a special connection. I really believe that. We're both gingers. We both grew up-

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

We're sort of the spice in the stew. That's what the gingers are. We can't be next to each other. Like we're only allowed L.A. L.A. County only allows us to hang out once a year and have a dinner.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Conan's stretching routine?

26:02 - 26:20 Bill Burr

That was it. Must be nice. That was it. Must be nice. You got some sneakers you can put on your feet. Oh, that was, that was, it was building towards that, you know. I mean, yeah, yeah. It's just. It just was one of those things. And I always told him, I said, listen, dude, if you're in a hole, if you're reaching up, I'll try to pull you out.

0

26:20 - 26:43 Bill Burr

But if you're face down in it, digging it deeper every day, I'm not fucking, I'm not getting involved in that. And he just couldn't get his head around that. And then he'd go, I don't know. The last time I talked to him, he goes, I've been working out. I've been working out. I go, oh, that's great. I thought he was turning his life around. He lost a fight to his son. Wait, that was his workout?

0

26:44 - 26:58 Bill Burr

He came at his son and lost? No. He was working out because he lost a fight to his son. So he's like, oh, man, I got to lay off this shit. It's just fucking. No, but that's one of the things, too.

0

26:58 - 27:12 Conan O'Brien

That's the craziest motivation for I got to hit the gym. I know. I'm signing up. Hey, well, what made you come in? Well, I'm fighting my 17-year-old son, and he got the better of me. So this is my wake-up call that I need to work out so I can beat the shit out of him.

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

Right, and people always say like, why are so many people from Massachusetts funny? And I always go like, because that is the kind of person you run into all the time. And he said that without a bit of funny, it wasn't supposed to be weird or anything. He was just straight up talking to me going like, yeah, man, he's strong now. I mean, he actually like knocked me down and stuff.

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

So, you know, I've been doing the curls and it's just like, do you ever think it just like maybe going out to like have a cup of coffee and figure out what's going on with you guys? Yeah. Like, I don't think you want, you really want to, you don't want to fight your son. I don't think he wants to fight you. No, dude, no, I know, I know.

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

But still, you know, just like, you know, it's one of those, I don't know. I go back to, and another thing too, I always remember when you were in Massachusetts is people would always, oh, you know that guy? Oh, dude, that guy's a character. And everybody is like this, like it's like they're very like uninhibited and they get into like these habits and these things that they do.

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

And they don't realize like how colorful they are. And it's not until you travel and you go back and you just come back to Massachusetts. You go to like, I don't know what it's like now because like sports is like so, I don't know. I can't stand the direction that it went into.

00:00 - 00:00 Bill Burr

But when I used to go to like tailgates at the fucking Pats game, you know, when you were like drinking on Route 1, we used to park in this guy's backyard. And then you walk down train tracks, active fucking train tracks, people walking, holding hands with kids. And then you would go up the, under Route 1, up the thing and then walk in. And just the shit that you saw.
