Why does Bill Burr reminisce about his early comedy days?

Bill Burr 0:17
What the fuck, kid? Why am I talking in an extra hard Boston accent? Because I'm reminiscent, dude. I'm recording this on March 2nd. March 2nd, 1992, at Nick's Comedy Stop on fucking Warrington Street down in the theater district. You know, where all the fellas hang out. Don't get me started, kid. They don't need to go to Dunkey's. They got enough sugar in their tank, huh? You know what I'm saying? That's how people talked when I started. It was worse than that. That's how they started. That's the way they talked. That's the way they believed when I started stand-up comedy 23 years ago. Toity Toit. That's actually New York. I only heard one guy ever say that. I was on the downtown 6 train and the guy running the train back when it was an actual person as opposed to just some fucking computer thing.
Unidentified Announcer 1:22
Next stop, Toity Toit Street. 23rd Street is next. Exit to the right. Please watch your step. 23rd Street's next.
Bill Burr 1:36
Anyways, 33 fucking years of not having a real job. Bumming around, traveling, doing all this bullshit. Having a great time. I did this secret stand-up show, whatever the kids call it. In a barbershop in Astor Place, the Astor family, you know, anytime something is named after a family, you know that a lot of people suffered. Right. I remember I started looking up Astro. Who's the Astros, right? I looked them up. They're all like fucking slumlords and people were dying of tuberculosis as they built their fucking wealth. Cooper Hall was another fucking guy. If you see a statue of a Caucasian All right? And it's not military. It's not some regular fucking person that joined up and won the Medal of Honor. You know, an infantryman.

What are Bill Burr's thoughts on CEOs and business culture?

Bill Burr 2:55
If it's someone sitting on a fucking horse on the statue, it's usually a pretty safe bet that some people suffered. And... You know, you look at that stuff. Oh, that was a different time and blah, blah, blah. And you look at it now, it's still going on. It's just it's done differently. I just got out of this. I'm going to get back to my 33 years in stand up. 33 years of shit jokes. I was just in this this fucking car and they had this magazine said Jet Set. And on the cover of the magazine is this fucking guy in like this blue suit. And he's got, he's like mean mugging. Like that's his, he's on the cover of a magazine. He's not smiling like, oh fuck, you know, this is great. He's mean mugging and all of this shit.
Bill Burr 3:50
And these fucking CEOs, their egos are just out of fucking control. It's like, what is that look on your face? Are you fighting for the middleweight title? Are you on the next UFC? Are you a Green Beret? Are you in the fucking Marines? What is that fucking? You move numbers around. You put people out of business. You crushed the dreams of the little guy. What is that fucking look on your face? It's fucking... It's hilarious. I get it. You got a watch collection. I don't understand. Listen. He's one of those fucking guys, you know, that has like a, you know, those those fucking business guys. They all memorize like a million quotes to justify what they're doing to everyone underneath them. You know, their favorite one is this is how business is done.
Bill Burr 4:49
And they quote the art of war and all of this shit. And they got like that thing like back in the day when when when people used to give drug dealers shit and drug dealers. If I didn't fucking do it, somebody else would do it. Right. They have all of those things to justify what the fuck they're doing. Oh, well and good. But don't have a fucking look on your face like, you know. Like you were pinned down, taking fucking fire or whatever, you know? I don't know. Maybe he's a veteran. I have no idea. Maybe he fought. I have no idea. But just seeing a guy in a fucking suit looking at me, you know? Like he doesn't make his money like hitting a keyboard. Like I don't understand it. I think that's like... Everybody has sort of co-opted the let's go, let's fucking go attitude.
Bill Burr 5:36
They try to apply it to their job, even though it's not like a let's fucking go job. Let's fucking go. We're down by eight, you know, with fucking three minutes to go. I'm playing football. I'm fucking, you know, whatever, you know. Something's on the line here. Not this stupid business shit. I don't know. I find that shit funny to me. Whatever. I don't know anything about it, but like.
