Chapter 1: What baseball memories does Bill Burr share?
Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday Morning Podcast for Monday, February 24th, 2025. What's going on? How are ya? How's it going? How's your life? Look at the fucking Red Sox making moves, signing pictures. I don't know who they are, but people are excited. I actually ordered that spring training hat, the red one. It's the red hat with the blue bill.
And back in the day, the B was also blue to match the bill. Now they have it white. But, you know, I was talking to one of my buddies because when we first watched the Red Sox, that's what their uniforms look like. The 70s, baseball 70s movies. They match the cereal that you were eating in the morning. My whole childhood was like looking at a giant bowl of like Fruit Loops or Trix.
It was just nuclear orange and reds, yellows and greens. It was fucking incredible. It was just like, I just think enough people in the right positions in life had taken LSD. Or maybe it was their misinterpretation of what LSD was. And everything was like fucking psychedelic. Like the Houston Astros. I mean, good Lord.
That uniform, the orange hat, and then whatever the fuck was going on in the shirt was amazing. The Pirates with the all yellow. From the batting helmet all the way down to the black cleats. Everything in it was this fucking amazing yellow. The Cardinals had that great...
like that vivid blue with the red which doesn't even make sense you know i guess red white and blue on the flag but it was just sort of red and blue if i remember correctly And then Chicago had the most boring where the White Sox had horrible, like, they look like an expansion franchise. You know, the White Sox uniforms. I don't understand.
They're such a fucking weird team because then once the 70s went away with all the colorful shit and they got a little more conservative when Ronald Reagan went in there and he starts firing air traffic controllers because they had the audacity to go on strike and wanted to make fucking... you know, get paid their worth. He was like, fuck you. He just fired him.
I'll tell you right now, the one fucking job, one of the number one jobs you don't want to back up for other than a fucking brain surgeon would be an air traffic controller. I think Stewie could do it. Let's give him a shot. So anyway, it all became conservative again. And then the White Sox, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they have uniforms like the Houston Astros used to have.
So anyway, so my whole life, I thought that the Red Sox had that red cap for most of the 70s, at least eight seasons. I thought, you know, because you always saw the 1975 World Series highlights with, you know, Carlton Fisk, you know, the Bucky Dent home run in 78. Yeah. So I always assumed that they wore them for like eight seasons.
But I went back and I looked at the team photos because someone was asking me about that. They only wore them in the 75, 76, 77 and 78 seasons. And then that was it. I thought for sure they went the rest of the 70s wear them. But the 79 team, they went back to the blue hats. And I remember, you know, I was just a kid, 10 years old or something when they came back in 79. almost 11, right?

Chapter 2: How does Bill Burr feel about dreams and relationships?
I'm seeing my family. I saw them this weekend, which was unbelievable. I think I spent the whole weekend just wrestling with my kids. All these different games we play, playing soccer and doing all that. So it's so great to go out to Los Angeles and then come right back. But I'm going to be doing that a lot. Um, I somehow didn't catch my son's cold.
I'd like hand sanitizer in that fucking Zycam shit. Just stuck in both nostrils the whole time I came back. I somehow didn't get the, uh, I didn't get it. I got to see my lovely wife who looked more beautiful than I've ever seen her in my life. Um, I'll tell you what was wild. I actually had a dream the other night that my wife left me. I don't know why. I think it had to do with me.
Before you fucking dream catchers out there try to tell me what this means, it's because I was missing her. Before you guys were like, you're thinking that because it's going to happen or whatever. But I remember it was this weird fucking dream. And all I kept thinking was like... It was like beyond heartache that she left me. It was just more like, what am I going to do?
Like, what the fuck is my life without this person? And I just think... Yeah, I had just gone my limit as far as not seeing her. Because, yeah, she's like my fucking... Beyond my wife. She's like my best friend. She's funny as hell. She's like the best hang you're ever going to have. And... So that was the hard thing, trying to balance that. Because my kids wanted to see me so bad.
So I had to wait until they went to bed. And then... you know, just hearing her laugh again. It's my, my favorite laugh in the world, making her laugh. So anyway, so now I'm back to New York and, um, it's funny. I went in to get a cup of coffee at this great place. These Italian guys run, um, just old school, just cranking out double espressos. You know what I mean?
They got the shit ready, ready to come in. And, uh, Somebody was saying in there how great it is because it's like 40 fucking degrees out. Oh, my God. The next three days are going to be 40 degrees. It's fucking great. I'm thinking my head like, dude, this isn't great. This isn't great. It's supposed to be fucking cold. Any weird weather is fucking freaks me out like this shit's coming faster.
than the scientists thought it was gonna or whatever. Like, I don't know. I don't know. But I was you know, I don't watch the news because all it does is freak you out. But I was walking by, you know, it's impossible not to see news in New York because they're always like there's always some big screen with that stupid stock market thing going on underneath it.
As you walk down the street, you just see it. Right. So I saw this headline. I think it was at a restaurant or something. I just saw this headline. Is it still safe to fly? Yeah. The shameless fucking media. I love when they're trying to just scare the shit out of you to just like get you to watch something. They never have the balls to just make a statement. They always do it in a question.
Is this the new America? Should we be worried about this? Is it still where we write when we blah, blah, blah. You know. Like, why would you listen to people that are that unsure of themselves? They're going to scare the fucking shit out of you with literally with just a question. that they know in their head has an element of bullshit. So they gotta like protect themselves from libel or slander.

Chapter 3: What are Bill Burr's thoughts on flying and media sensationalism?
As he's getting out, he's not thinking like, oh my God, get me out, please God, get me out of here so I don't burn to death. Get me out of this thing before I hear the screams of other people starting to catch on fire. He doesn't think that. He's filming leaving the fucking turned over airplane and then he gets away from it and his description of his experience
Like if it was dialogue in the movie was the worst dialogue I've ever heard. He was just in an airplane. He's landing safely. It suddenly flips over. He thinks he's going to die. He doesn't. He's hanging upside down from a seatbelt. He's thinking, am I going to be in the air like a fucking rotisserie chicken and get burned to death? Is this what's going to happen?
He goes through all of those emotions. And this is his dialogue when he gets off. He's like, yo, what the fuck? Yo, I was on that shit. Like we didn't just see him video going out of it. And that's all he could come up with was different versions of yo, what the actual fuck. Now here's the thing. I'm not looking at this guy like he's a fucking moron.
What I'm looking at him as is like that what he's doing is in me. Because I sit here and I'm scrolling on Instagram like every other social media monkey out there for hours on end. Rather than watching a movie, at least a good movie, or read a book, or connect with my wife. I'm sitting next to her as we're both sitting there scrolling. And it's starting to affect people's vocabulary.
Like, he was speaking in Instagram comments. Like, that was his language. I mean, I get it if you're stunned and you can't, like, talk. But the way he was describing, he sounded like he saw somebody get dunked on. Yo, what the fuck? Oh, shit. Like, if you read the dialogue... And there was three options. He just saw somebody get dunked on. He just saw somebody get knocked out.
Or he landed in a Delta Airlines flight that inexplicably flipped over. He was hanging from his seatbelt, thought he was gonna burn to death, and by the grace of God, didn't. What do you, I mean, there's no way you're guessing C, first. Anyway, so God bless that kid. I'm glad he's still alive.
But there was definitely a life lesson in there that all I got out of that is I need to fucking read more. One of the things I want to do when I'm in New York here is I want to start going to museums and I want to educate myself on painters. And this is a combination of the influence... of my wife because she's super smart and she takes me to those places and it's starting to take hold and
I saw this that that documentary on Steve Martin and it was something about him someone telling a story and he went to a museum for some premiere and he could name every painting he could name every I'm doing my podcast sorry I'm at work right now yeah yeah I'm only gonna go for like another half hour okay is that all right yeah yeah just for another half yeah so anyway he could edge he knew all
I fucked up. I thought rehearsal was today was at 1015. It wasn't until noon. So now I'm sitting here like an asshole. Anyway, so he could name all the paintings. He could name all the painters and all of that. And there was something about it.

Chapter 4: Why does Bill Burr want to learn more about art?
We're getting closer to previews, so it's getting really exciting. Oh, Billy Jimbaud. Oh, my God. The fucking damage I did to my torso. Holy shit. It's just unbelievable. Like, I have fat in places I didn't even know you could have fucking fat. I was sitting there going, like, my stomach isn't sticking out.
I bought one of those, one of those, those fucking, those, you know, those things that people, when they take your sizes at the, at the dry cleaner. What do you call that? Not a tape measure. Whatever. A measuring tape. There we go. Look at that. Just talking about the museums. I remember what that thing was called. I bought one of those. Oh, my God. Have you done that?
It only goes up to 39 inches, by the way. So if you want to humble yourself, why don't you go fucking see what the equator of your body is right now? And then try to do the math of how long it would take the sun to go around all those fucking mistakes since you left high school. Um, so I am committed other than to have a great time on this play, which is what I'm doing.
I am going to drop, I'm getting back down to my fighting weight, which I have not been since like the end of 2019. Um, all right. I've fucking, I've had it. The fat shaming that is going on in my bathroom every morning when I brush my teeth shirtless, um, I get right in my grill. Look what the fuck you did. Look what you did. I turned sideways. I turned... You know what's a great one?
You turn three quarters of the way around and you can still see the front of your stomach. That's when you just... You really look at your wife and realize how much she loves you. Like, she's putting up with this? This is fucking horrific. Whatever. So... You know what's funny, too, is everybody's going, what are you talking about, dude? You're in great shape. I'm like, dude, it's the winner.
I have on a peacoat. Do you know how fat you have to be to look fat in a fucking peacoat? How many dozens of donuts you got to eat? And then let's look at the other side. How much fun is it becoming that fat? Because I went to go see Billy Gibbons at the... at the fucking, um, city winery with, uh, Chris Layton on drums, just an amazing, amazing, amazing time.
But, you know, ZZ Top came out like 10 years before my generation started going to concerts, 75, 76. So my first concert was fucking 86, right? So, uh, I, um, I was sitting in the crowd. I went to the show by myself, right? My buddy ended up getting a gig, so... All right, I have no friends. I went there by myself, right? And the crowd was like 10 years older than me.
And you just looked around the room and you saw people that like, you know... held themselves to a certain standard, you know, like still working out or whatever. But then seeing people 10 years older than me that just said, fuck it. You know, you know, that stupid thing that that, you know, that they came up with that kids kids say now, like, Dad, I want to have a yes day.
Like, whatever I say, you're going to say yes to. It's like, no, that's no, I'm going to hear what the fuck you said. i'm gonna lean towards yes but if it doesn't make any sense i'm not doing it right these people had like a yes life and you're watching them right just these like they're sitting down their stomach goes to their knees they don't have a lap anymore You know what I mean?

Chapter 6: What are the podcast's sponsor endorsements?
um because there's gonna be a few like that chick who just died who was a vegan who was still eating all of this lettuce and stuff that had all this these carcinogens on them i guarantee you she's gonna look like she's just taking a nap for about six months before she starts getting i'm guaranteeing it with no science background whatsoever all right dirty public saunas All right.
Dear Bill, you recently talked about how concerned you are using public saunas. This is partially due to sanitary concerns and some discrete levels of homophobia. It's not discrete levels of homophobia. You go there, there's signs that say this thing is closed down because of inappropriate behavior. That's not homophobic. Homophobic would be if it wasn't happening in there.
OK, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the gay lifestyle. I'm just saying you walk into a sauna. It's a flip of a coin whether or not you're going to walk into a sword fight. Right. Am I nuts? Those signs are just there to be there. Anyway, I too love spending time in the sauna until recently had no issues using public saunas.
I never encountered any men that seem closeted in the sauna, usually just old wrinkly men that want to talk your ear off. Oh, the old guys are hilarious too, and they have no problem walking in there completely fucking naked. Showing their Korean era, Korean war era fucking junk.
However, my university has a sauna in one of its many physical education buildings and many of the other students don't actually know it's there. Apparently the janitors don't know it's there either. One day in the evening at home, my beautiful young lady noticed a strange looking patch of skin on my left butt cheek, oh God.
Upon further inspection, I realized it was ringworm or something very similar. I treated the skin fungus and forgot about it. Oh my god, this is a horror story here. As I continued to use the sauna, I noticed the same little spots of dirt and little pieces of trash in the corners and on the floor.
Gradually becoming more concerned, I noticed more and more patches of random skin fungus on my legs and ass. Oh no.
by this point i put the pieces together and realized the sauna was never getting cleaned and likely hosting a variety of nasty funguses and probably more 100 i stopped using the sauna and i immediately noticed i was no longer having mystery skin fungus appear on my beautiful ass and legs suffice to say your fears of saunas being unsanitary are totally valid yeah i go in there with my own flip-flops
Bathing suit and a towel wrapped around me. I never go skin to skin contact. You can't do it. You can't do it. Perhaps the skin fungus I picked up was from a couple fellas getting real personal in the steam room after hours. Who knows? Nah, I mean, it's just... People are, I don't know, it's the combination of everybody's bacteria and it's gross.
