Check it out as soon as you can. We already had a great chat with two-time Super Bowl champ Chris Long, who has just barely sobered up from his trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he watched the Eagles destroy the commanders and make the Super Bowl, and then hung out in a bar in South Philly. And what did he do?

Soko with lemon shots, and then Jagermeister after? Good Lord. I don't know if he confirmed that he was consuming agar. He did say it got pulled out. It was offered.

Yeah, he did say it got offered. Anyway, Bill Burr's in our green room. He's going to be out in about 15 minutes time, and it's going to be great chopping that up with him.

He's got a new special coming out in Hulu in the middle of March called Drop Dead Years, and then he's heading to New York. I cannot wait to see this. I'm a big fan of David Mamet and Glenn Dyer. Glenn Ross is an incredible play.

I've seen it multiple times. He's going to make his Broadway debut. Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and him, along with Michael McKeon as well. I can't wait to see that. So lots to talk about with Bill Burr when he joins us in studio.

The Dallas Cowboys have introduced their latest head coach. They dropped it in the middle of the evening on Friday. It's generally when you drop bad news. That's true. I'm going to lie.

Let me tell you this. Now, the NFL Network Research Department sent out a sheet, a packet. You could see 2025 hot seat head coach and candidates research notes. They identified the spots where there might be new head coaching vacancies. They mentioned the Titans and the Giants. They did. They stayed put, but they had the three interims. And then they also mentioned Mike McCarthy, Gerard Mayo, Doug Peterson, Antonio Pierce, his potential guys to be fired. And they all did. And then they identified 15 coaches that could be interviewed for possible jobs. And they already put they put Rex Reiner because he was already interviewed.

Same with Ron Rivera. Brian Schottenheimer's name is not on here. The research department didn't even fathom that that could be possible. I mean, I can't tell if that's funny or not funny.

They couldn't run a download so you wouldn't want anybody to come and take it. But I'm not going to say that. I couldn't say that. Brian Schottenheimer's been at it for a long time to the point where I met him. And I think I had sushi with him and his wife at the Pro Bowl in the mid aughts when we first were there. Son of Marty.

Son of Marty. Schottenheimer's been around and he's been coordinators in places. And he showed up in Dallas after Kellen Moore hit the road when Mike McCarthy was there. And if Dak Prescott wanted continuity, he's getting it. And he is the third internal head coaching hire in the history of the franchise. And he spent 14 seasons as an offensive coordinator with the Jets, Rams, Seahawks and Cowboys. So he's been around a minute. Just nobody thought he would be the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. That is for sure.

And Schottenheimer had this to say when he was announced earlier this morning. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to create relationships. Relationships that are built on trust, respect, connection. I'm really good with X's and O's.

But I'm great with people. And the type of men that we have in this locker room are excited about that. And so I think as we build this thing out, as the culture comes together of this team, that's where I feel like my greatest impact will be felt. He sounds a little like his dad, doesn't he? Yeah. He's got like that Marty cadence to him. I wish his dad was alive to see this.

It'd be a pretty neat moment for him and his family. And look, there's many reasons to crap all over this idea. Seriously. I have no idea.

Nobody has any idea. I keep going back to this moment as well. All right. Suzy tells this story all the time. When she was covering Pete Hackett, Nathaniel's dad at USC. Paul Hackett.

Pardon me. Paul Hackett. Nathaniel Hackett's dad. He was out here at USC and it was falling to crap.

And Carson Palmer was not looking good. And USC went outside the family and hired a guy that was in the pros. And they hired a guy and like, let's see if we can get him to USC. He's got no connection to USC.

Let's bring him to USC. And people were like, Pete Carroll? Really? Yep.

Yep. Who was perfect for the moment. Another one, another one.

And I'm being as generous as I possibly can here. And another one. When Don Mattingly finally made the playoffs in 1995, after never having made it, and he had a home run against the Mariners in that playoff series and Jeter was coming and there was a whole bunch of kids in the pipeline coming and they fired the manager who brought the Yankees to the playoffs and had them as the best team in 1994. And if it wasn't for the strike, the Yankees would have made it made the world series then. And Buck Showalter, who knew all of these kids were coming up out of the minors and getting ready to be the core of the Yankees future. And they bounced him for a retread named Joe Torre. All of New York was like, this guy?

Really? The guy who crapped out with the Mets, this guy? We're going to get him? This guy?

Turned out to be perfect for the moment. So for anybody out here saying this guy is going to be garbage or crap, we have no earthly idea, but there's a lot of people. The reason why they're crapping on it as well is because Jerry Jones made the pick. And it's out of nowhere and it makes little sense when you've got Bill Belichick sitting out there saying maybe you can buy me out or Deion Sanders was sitting there in Colorado answering a telephone call from Jerry Jones. And all the other hot coordinators are out there who have just been there and done that in their own rights for people, for teams that haven't churned them out. So, he was on Dallas and he is sitting in there and he's not going to be as expensive as other people. And you don't have to buy him out.

All you got to do is just keep him there. And his press conference can have five people sitting in it while there's a million around this guy, the owner. So, people wondering what his intentions are.

So, let's ask him himself. I'm told this is a cut down answer to two and a half minutes. From ten minutes?

Really? He went on for a while, yeah. It was the first question asked, why did you hire Brian Schottenheimer? This is what Jerry Jones had to say. I've been around a lot of coaches. As a matter of fact, I wanted to be a coach. Except, I wanted to live better than I thought coaches live.

I wanted to drive a little bigger car and I wanted to fly in an airplane. Had I known what I'm paying them now, I'd have been a damn coach. I have a good background in the makeup of what a coach is. To think that you could make a decision in an interview and not have talked if you didn't and hadn't ever communicated or had a visit, I wouldn't dare have had an interview unless I talked to many, many people that knew that person. Now, I get my proverbial ass kicked over needing people in my comfort zone.

Without this thing being about me in any way, if you don't think I can't operate out of my comfort zone, you're so wrong, it's unbelievable. This is as big a risk as you could take. As big a risk as you could take.

No head coaching experience. Let me share something with you. With all of that, you've just heard him reference his osmosis, his family. Anybody in this room that doesn't believe the apple doesn't go far from the tree has missed it someplace down the road. I've read where I don't have a penchant for risk taking. If you really knew my score sheet, you would see that I've taken more risk in the last five years than the rest of my life put together.

And sometimes I don't know when I look in that mirror why the risk is taken with it there. And what I would say for the fans is that yes, to some, and it might be couched as a less than glamorous hire, what I would say to you is I got here taking shots and not shotty shots. All right. Now, that sounds like that that was written by Taylor Sheridan, right? That's what I mean. And unfortunately is that, you know, that message that Jerry Jones delivered written by Taylor Sheridan was delivered to a patient that didn't do very well afterwards.

Spoiler alert. But listen, it is a risk. That's for damn sure.

It is a risk to go ahead and go with somebody who's never done it before. But the good news is, unlike his previous hire, when he says, I've watched every snap of offensive football over the last couple of years from the Dallas Cowboys, you know he has. Yeah. Because he was there, coordinating it. Yeah.

As opposed to the predecessor, who kind of biflomed his way into the spot in that regard a little bit, look it up. I don't know, man. Honestly, I don't know. Anybody who says that they know that this is a mess in the making doesn't know. We have no idea.

I have no idea. It is a risk. So for someone who is risk averse, but you also heard him talk about, you know, from what I'm paying coaches, he does not want to pay a coach. I think he is clearly an idea that a coach that wants to make 15, 16, 17, 20 million bucks a year, I can get somebody, you know, in the same way that people view running backs. Why do I need to pay a running back 15 million when I can pay one five and get the same results? Because he knows he's ultimately the coach. So why is he going to pay? He thinks he can do it. He's already doing it.

That's it. He doesn't have a general manager because he thinks he can do it. Do you really think he comes up with the place? Do you really deep down think that? Do you really think that? Yes.

No. I don't think he doesn't deep down come up with the X's and O's, but it's very obvious that he's running things like from top to bottom. He's not sitting there writing up a place sheet, perhaps. But, you know, this is uninspiring, man.

It really is even in even a minute. I understand it's not the most inspiring, but it's a fan base. How are you selling me on this? If you're going out there and you're telling us that this is uninspiring. No, he understands that it's it's not as inspiring.

But just what? Wait till you see what he can do, that he has spoken to a bunch of people who know him, that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, that his dad did instill in him what it takes to be a head coach. I don't know. We can't sit here and say that this is impossible. Is it probable?

I can say it's impossible. I understand that we can have that conversation, but I am surprised. If you if you give Deon what he wants and you give him all the cash in the world, that if what he wants and to bring his to bring his assistant coaches that he would bring and to bring everything else that he would bring to me, that that's that's what you're looking for, just like the old school Dallas Cowboys, where everybody can't can't get enough of them. They can't stop talking about them. They can't stop talking about them, because just like the Chiefs now, you're sick and tired of watching them do what they're doing to everyone else, which is just beating the crap out of everybody and winning championships.

And they haven't done that in over 30 years. And if this guy is the one who actually restores the Cowboys to all that, then we can look back on this day and go, this guy was right. If he wasn't, it's just more the same, isn't it?

Yeah, what's more likely? I mean, isn't it? I'll take more of the same for a billion dollars, Alex. You are also aware that if it is Matt Iberfluss as the defensive coordinator, that's not too bad in its own right. Also. Oh, and you know, no one's going to be plucking him for a head coach any time soon. There is that, too. By the way, and you know what you're paying, you could pay him less and it's offset by what the Bears were giving him.

Another way to save money. Jerry's talking about like, I would have been a head coach if I saw they're flying. That's what I'm saying. He's not, though.

No, but I know that. But you just also heard how he values what a coach makes. And you kind of saw it in his comment and you hear it from everyone that reports on the league and his two cents on how he views coaches and what they what their worth is and what they're being paid and what you actually get out of it. And all I'm thinking to myself is I don't understand that, because if if I have more billions and billions and billions than anyone else. And what is it to me to actually pay somebody? The players to make some weight.

We're talking about, man. The players wait to not pay the resources to that position because you think it's not worth it and you can allocate your dollars elsewhere better. To me, it's just like you can't take it with you. Exactly.

Spend it now. But like I said, for us to sit here and crap all over it, saying there's no chance it's going to happen. Stranger things have happened.

Yeah. Let me tell you what's not going to happen. You don't know. We don't know. We got the third best team in our conference.

We arguably got the third best quarterback. I don't see this change in division. Sorry.

I'm sorry. Division. Division.

My bad. Oh, yeah. You wish they were third best. I wish that. Division.

Yes. I'm sorry, Chris. I'm just so annoyed. I can't even think straight. You were second best in the conference last year.

I get it. A two seed going in the NFC playoffs last year. Two.

Okay. Just one year ago. And Dak gets hurt.

Every year. And now you're less than at head coach than Mike McCarthy. Like what are we doing?

This is all happening, man. You don't come back better after tearing your hamstring and breaking ankles and fingers. You don't come back better. You're stuck with him because of the terrible contract Jerry gave him. You can't get off of him.

That's true. The I think right now it's a 90 million dollar cap that they're going to have to figure that one out. Meanwhile, Pete Carroll is being introduced as a Raiders head coach. As we speak, Aaron Glenn just got introduced as the Jets head coach, and that's how we are going to take a break. And when we come back, the great Bill Burr in studio cannot wait. It's going to be a lot of fun. Always is when Bill is here.

That is next. This is the Rich Eisen Show. Let's talk TurboTax people. You might be sitting there going, wait a minute, Rich.

Back here on the Rich Eyes and Show on the Roku Sports Channel. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Burr is here on the Rich Eyes and Show back again. First things first, I want to know who you defeated to get that title as best dad ever, as a dad. I mean, I don't remember, I wasn't part of the bracket.

I didn't defeat anybody. I was the 12C. I didn't get invited to the dance. I was the 12C. You're a Gonzaga inexplicably getting to the final four. I'm a Gonzaga of dads.

That's what I am. No one saw me coming with my three children. No, this is a father's day gift.

I could still see here 24, this is $24? Unbelievable. I know you're a great dad.

You see his green room. It's nothing with athletes. It's all you with your kids, man. That's a great thing. Thank you. Good to see you. Yeah, I came here specifically.

Do you want to go half on Turkish hair plugs? I feel like one of those last two guys keeping it real out here. We were talking this the other day. Like you could see, I could see a bunch of guys on the air. I know it's fake. I know it's completely fake. No, they're getting good though.

They are. You can jump in multiple pools now with the hair plugs that they got going on. One year I was thinking of getting it, it was about 10 years ago at least, I was thinking about it. I was thinking about it. And Marshall Faulk says, I know a guy down in San Diego. I got a guy. That's what he got a guy. You know what I mean? With my guy, I'm like, I know it was no, it's not a fly by night, real thing.

So I said, I called the doctor's office, they set up a FaceTime. Did they draw on your head? Did you get that far? No, they didn't do anything. Did you get that far?

No, they didn't do anything. That's how it started. Dr. gets on the phone, I'm waiting for him, five minutes, I'm on a FaceTime just thinking, really? Am I going to just hear him? I'm thinking of even just hanging up. He gets on, he looks at me and he goes, oh, wow.

I got a lot of work in front of me. End of conversation. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

If you go to any medical person and they're intimidated by whatever your problem is, that's it. Let's take a look at your heart. Oh, wow.

It's the last thing you want to hear from a doctor. Oh, wow. You're QB in the huddle looking at the defense. Oh, wow. Those guys look tough. Back on the radio now.

Definitely going to be handing the ball off on this play. That's right. Oh, wow. Sal, yeah. Here I am years later, still bald. That's me.

Bill Burr, drop dead years coming exclusively to Hulu on March 14th. Do you know what the upside of being bald is? You're always ready to go. Is it? Yeah, I know, right? You know what I mean? It's like everybody thinks that, you know, you did the hygiene thing. You're throwing a sweater and a button down the table. You can roll out of bed and put that on and everybody thinks you're just ready to go.

I'm not saying good things are going to happen to you as a bald person, but you are ready to get there. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I can get ready. And like, I swear to God, dude, I get ready in three minutes.

So how long is your wait when you're waiting for not to get you in any trouble at home? Yeah. She can take all the time in the world. I understand women now. Is that right? It's just, it's not balanced. You know what I mean?

You cracked the code? It's like playing the Chiefs. It's going to be a loss.

There's too many things working against you. By the way, can I talk about the two point conversion and just really put it into perspective? First of all, I forget about people going for it in the second quarter. Like there's like, there's not like a whole other half of football.

You know what I mean? A two point conversion means you have to score back to back touchdowns. And the first touchdown took you at least three plays, if not four. And then because it's two points, I don't think people look at it like that. And the amount of times I saw the Bills do it, it's like you scored a touchdown, the crowd's out of the game for a second. And then rather than just kicking the extra point in the second quarter, right?

Plenty of time left. You go for it and you don't get it and the crowd gets a rise out of it. And they think like something positive happened rather than you just scored a touchdown. You took them out of the game briefly and then you immediately go for these two point conversions.

I don't get it. And then I feel like they get one out of three. And so then you get two points out of a possible just three extra points you could have kicked. The one thing I don't understand too is when you go for, when you're down, like say, you know, 15.

Okay. And you score a touchdown and then you go for the two there, as opposed to just take your seven points, be done with it. Now, you know, you got to go for two one time at the end, because if you miss the two now, now you've got to go for two a second time. And the answer that I get from analytics people is like, well, now you'll know if you go for two right away, you know, if you've got to go for it a second time. And I'm like, but you know, you've got to go for it only once like nothing in this world makes sense. Like I think once this is part of being old now, nothing makes sense. Like, you know, football guys used to make decisions.

Now the kids on the math team make the decision. You know what I mean? I don't understand cars. I can't shut my wife's car, like she has this electric car and it's a piece of crap. It's like driving an iPad.

It's trying to suck all this information out of you. And then they always say like, don't drive distracted and the damn car won't shut up. Like like the side view mirrors, if somebody is coming along, we're in the like lanes, we're driving down, you know what we're doing. And the thing on the resume that's doing like this. I like when you back up, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And I sit on the car like, what, what, what do you see that I don't? Is there a toddler back there?

Half the time? It's just like a little branch. She has the information on the inside of the windshield. It's like the speedometer.

The speedometer is like right there. I thought I'm not supposed to drive. I think what it is is they don't want us driving cars anymore.

So they're trying to distract us acting like it's technology. So we're going to have like more, more car accidents. So then they can get you into a self-driving car, which is not a self-driving car. That's your own personal police car. And you're going to say the wrong thing on one of these social media things that one day you think you're making a left to the gym and that thing's taking you to the cops to get re-educated. Like, I thought I was going to the gym.

Which please do not fight. That's what you think of when you see these self-driving cars. That's exactly what I think. They just want you to be like this bag of mush, just driving down the street. Now what's wrong with thinking, have you gone to the new Clippers arena into it? Have you gone there yet? You got to use your face to get in. I would never do. I would never go there and I would never perform there. I would never do anything in a place that wants you to do that. But you know, what's going to happen is eventually everyone, oh, that's the difference.

They got all our information anyway. And then the herd's going to go over the cliff. And then what am I going to do? Be a street performer?

Now with this lack of pigment, I'm going to have to do it too. You are at some point in time. Yeah. So you wouldn't, so like when the Celtics just came into town, right? Is that your team, the Celtics or no? The Celtics always lose to the Clippers. They get up for the Lakers and then they party the night before the Clippers. I fell for that like six years in a row.

I used to watch the big three lose to them and they had nobody on the Clippers and they beat us by like 18. So you won't give your face up? You won't, I mean, you're like, you know, you're facially recognized just walking down the street. Why do you care? Just like, uh, I, I, I watched games at home.

Yes. When I go to games, it's just like, there's just too much stuff going on. Like I like to talk about the, why did they do this? What are they doing this for? Why would you go for two there? I don't understand why they're not kicking the extra point, but there's so much and it's so loud.

I'm telling you, you're going to get tinnitus. Like you're going to go see Judas Priest at the, at these, these damn things. Not to bring those guys up again.

They already get blamed for some stuff a long time ago. I don't know why I picked them. So no, I just get it. It's just, it's a young man's game.

I'm an old guy. So like, you know, that's it. You go for two, you know, and uh, what do you think of Brady calling the games, Bill? I think he's doing a great job. I like it.

Yeah. I like also like Tony Romo's another guy that some people don't like. Like their knowledge of the game is just, it's incredible. I mean, just Brady saying anything where he's just wants to talk about the playoffs, this look, when he's going to call the Super Bowl, like who do you, who else would you want to hear?

Like he got, it's been in the game 10 times or 11 times, which am I funny about those guys? They know so much about the game that like, I feel like sports pan fans who want to be the guys saying what's going to happen and they keep beating them to it. They start to not like them and it's just like, it's okay to not know as much as a professional NFL quarterback.

I find like when I listen to Romo and Tom Brady, mostly former players, like I love the broadcaster, you know, keeps it going, knows when to do everything with the former player because their insight of what's going on is, is incredible. I like it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Bill Burr here on the Rich Eisen show, Bill Burr drop dead years available on Hulu, March 14th.

What's the drop? Are you, are you in your drop dead years? It's a joke that I do in my act saying like, uh, basically for a man like, like I'm, I'm too young to die of natural causes, but I'm not young enough. I'm not too, you know, whatever the word is just to, to just drop dead.

These are the years as a guy and it's a uniquely male phenomenon. Like women don't seem to drop dead. I think as they cry and they emote and they, uh, I don't know what they do. They, they just, I don't know. They live forever. Yeah, they do.

They do. They live for, they're doing something right. And for us, we are always like, there's always people falling out of golf, golf carts and stuff like that. But my thing is if you make it past like 61, 62, then you're just looking at like a prolonged illness or something like that. I'll take you out. So you're, so that means I'm in my drop dead years right now. Pretty much like one of us might not make it to the end of this interview. That'd be a ratings grabber. No, no, no.

It's obviously, it's just a joke. So I, uh, I shot it up in Seattle. Uh, my buddy, uh, Ben Tischler, who I co-wrote, um, old dads with, uh, he directed it, did an amazing job. I love how it looks. And um, and Seattle was sort of the perfect city, you know, cause I, I lean a little left.

I also lean right or whatever. So it's, it's kinda had that good like push-pull thing. So I had like the liberal from Seattle people and you had the lumberjack people from, you know, the woods come in and it's like, that's kinda like what I like.

I like to have, um, so as many people. It's purple America. That's what you're talking about. Which would be, you know, a nice thing. It's a little disturbing where we are right now.

Cause when I was a kid, we hated the Russians and now people like hate States and it's like, it's supposed to be the United States. So I'm hoping there will be some sort of unifying energy out there. And you're that guy. You're going to be uniting. Well, if I'm that guy, then we're in a lot of trouble, but like, so it's not, so that's coming out in, uh, in mid March, dude, I think I texted you when I heard you were in Glengarry Glen Ross.

That's going to be on Broadway. I am psyched for this as you're, I mean, how are you prepping for this thing, man? Well, when I get out of the fetal position, I, uh, you know, I've just been running the lines, but working with an acting coach and, um, I mean, it's not like you've never acted. I mean, you've been in Breaking Bad, but like I'm in there with some heavy hitters. So, but the good thing is, is like, you know, I think, you know, they're going to be carrying it. So I feel like I'm, I've, I've joined a good, I'm a division two player that's on it that just got onto Alabama. It's Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, uh, Michael McKeon.

So I mean, those guys, they're going to crush it. So all I got to do is just like game manage. That's I'm going to be a game manager. You're the Ed Harris role, right?

Yes, I am. I play the bald guy. Isn't that odd that you get that role, man? Isn't that strange?

No, it's good. I'm not bald guy play it because then the liberals would get upset. Why don't you, why didn't you have a bald guy to play the bald guy? That's right. Baldists.

They're all baldists on Broadway. That's what I've always loved that about like, it's like, well, that's what, that's what acting is, is playing what you aren't. Other than that, you're just memorizing lines, right? So you're going to be on a podcast and Ed Harris is going to come out and act like your brother or something like that?

Is that something? I love Ed Harris and like one of my favorite, uh, State of Grace, which was based on that book, the Westies. If you ever read that, I read that when I was living in New York, it was about the Irish gang and hell's kitchen, which is now called Clinton, uh, for whatever reason. And, um, like that, what was cool about the book is it had all the places where they hung out and all like their hideouts and everything. And I got so into that book that I, uh, that I would just go around and just see what all of those places and it was so funny.

They were like, you know, cupcake and coffee places and it's just like, they used to chop up bodies in the back of the seat. You have like no idea. Um, it's one of the fascinating things about like being in New York because unlike like LA, like it just crushes me, the amount of beautiful buildings that they knocked down out here. Um, and also with these fires out here, like I would put this up against anybody.

I think Los Angeles has the most beautiful like homes, architectures, those, those, um, Spanish revivals, the craftsman's, the art deco stuff. It's just incredible. And um, that was another thing, obviously people losing their homes.

But then like some, I can't imagine how many of those like hundred year old homes, those legendary ones that, you know, um, they just went out with all that tile work and everything to the arches. It's just, and you're doing a benefit show tonight. Yes. Yep. Shane Gillis. Yeah.

Shane Gillis, who I've never done a, a gig with. Very excited. Dude.

When I have to do that. And Andrew Santino and Dean Del Rey are also going to be on. Yeah. That's fantastic.

And Shane Gillis went on ESPN and called Nick Saban, Alabama Jones because of the hat that he on. It looked like, did you see that? Yeah.

Yeah. I did see that. That was fantastic. That was absolutely hilarious, man.

So you and Shane Gillis tonight can raise some money. By the way, that was my way of just kind of, uh, kind of bringing up Billy Corgan to you minutes ago when I asked if Ed Harris is going to go on a podcast and ask if you were acting like your brother. Oh, is that what that was?

That's what that was. Was that, was that, people want to know, were you really pissed? Huh? Listen, I don't like talk about your stuff. Yeah, I don't.

I don't know. Like how he did what he did because he is a Hollywood whore and he doesn't care what happens that he just didn't, you know, he could have said something and he just, you know, just brings up all that weirdness, you know, Billy's fine. I mean, that's the first time I haven't met him, but that was like fine or whatever, but I did not appreciate, you know, what, how we did no, not at all, but he's like Howie. So he's like sort of hard to hate, you know what I mean?

How do you like hate a germaphobe? He's like not threatening. He like just walks with his arms in so he doesn't rub against curtains that he owns. That's the weirdest thing about him. He's a strange man. He came on this show and he, and he just bounced off the walls literally when he came in here. Yeah, that was early on. That was over 10 years ago. He stayed forever.

He wouldn't leave. So when do you go to New York? Just now? Is this happening now?

Rehearsals start in February. So then, yeah. So then I head out there.

You're in a David Mamet play, dude, on Broadway. That's pretty frigging cool. Yeah, it is. That is really great.

It is. What do you like in the Super Bowl? I like the Chiefs.

You're really going out on a limb, aren't you? Dude, hey, listen. The Eagles are really good. But I also chose... Oh boy, are they? But I chose... I chose the Chiefs' first weekend season.

The Eagles are going to have to be up by at least 30 points. All right. Go there. Go there, Bill.

Go. Go there. Go there. Oh, but then ignore.

Go there. No, I'm not ignoring. I'm not ignoring. I'm not ignoring.

I'm not ignoring. No, no, no, no, no. That's the greatest team you're ever going to... It doesn't get any better than that.

And it's just football at the highest level, and if you're not appreciating what's going on, then there's something wrong with you. Oh boy. Oh boy. It's a show. Okay. They're all shows at this point. Like, I think there was a while there where I think, I think, listen, let's be honest.

Okay. There's always been point shaving, mob gambling. There's always been.

It's always been, and all sports have always been like that, but I think we're kind of, we're going into like an unprecedented time of that on all sports or whatever. So I'm not just singling them out. I don't care about that stuff, but I'm just saying like... You think the Chiefs are not as good as we're making them out to be, Bill?

I mean, I'm trying to figure, put the hammer directly on the head here. It's a business. Yes. It's a business. And you got to look at, like they, the problem with the Chiefs is Patrickville Holmes doesn't have a dance partner where you had Bradshaw Starback, you had Montana Elway, he's just the only guy. So if, if you don't like the Chiefs, you should buy the, everyone should buy the Jersey of that kid on the Redskins.

So then the NFL will be, maybe there's some money, maybe this is lucrative. If we could sort of, I don't think it's fixed. I think it's massaged.

There's definitely more back rubs on one side than the other. I mean, I don't know. You know what kills me? It was when I watched the NBA in 2000, I was going like, this, this is fixed.

This is fixed. Well, at times it was, wasn't it? Yeah. But then, then they do the Oswald thing. They blame it on one guy. Yeah.

It was just him. It's like, how, if I'm on an officiating crew with you and I'm shaving points, how long before you figure that out? Half a quarter. Half a quarter.

Half a quarter. You figure like, what is this guy doing? I see what you're saying. And then you come up to me upset, you know, that I'm not letting you in on the action because we're both underpaid. See?

But the thing is like, and I understand. We're wearing our, we're wearing our athlete's foot shirts and our dirty slacks. Like you ever take one of those American airline flights with like the propellers, you ever see the pants or the pilots? I mean, they're getting paid less than a substitute teacher.

It's insane. They come in with those old black Reeboks on. They look like they're waiting tables at Applebee's and you're putting their, you're putting your life in their hands. They're grossly underpaid. I'm not saying they're bad pilots. It's just like, it's like, there's nothing spiffy about it. So you'd feel safer flying on a plane with a guy with a better pair of pants is what you're saying. I'd like to see a crease. I'd like to see a crease going into the cockpit. I don't want TGI Fridays.

They got a bunch of miserable people walking in the back, having to sing happy birthday to somebody. So you watching at home, you, part of you, Bill Burr thinks that when Alan step into the line of scrimmage in a fourth down and in short, and he's called and he's barely making it to the line of scrimmage, just a little past it. Maybe he's got the first down.

Maybe he doesn't. And maybe one guy says it is a first down and the other guy says it, you know which way it's going to go. Somebody sitting there going, here's my chance to get that massage. Like is that what you're saying? Because again, that's what that's. I just think, you know, where is the money? Like, come on, man. They got, they got, they got all the stars. They got Taylor Swift.

I mean, that's going to be a lot like it's Ray. It's a business. Why are they an entertainment league?

Why aren't they a sports league? So you're thinking that there is a thumb on the scale. I'm asking you. I'm asking you. Yes, yes, sir. I'm asking you.

Yeah. Why are they called an entertainment league? Why are they not? Because they, they are, they're a sports league, but it is entertainment in this day and age.

You know what I mean? If you're called an entertainment league and a game is proven to be fixed, you can't get, you can't be, from what I've read, you cannot be tried because it's entertainment. It's sports entertainment. So you don't think the Chiefs are as good as they really are? I'm not going to say that. Okay. I'm not going to say that.

I'm just saying that I, you know, it's a business. You've got Chiefs fatigue. That's what you've got. You know what? You got a little bit of the Chiefs fatigue.

You're tired of watching them win. Okay. Okay. You're a company man. You know what? You know what it is?

Rich Eisen in the green room is not Rich Eisen behind this desk. What are you talking about? What I'm talking about is you want me to say what you're not going to say.

No, no, no, no. That's what you're doing to me. That's what you're doing to me. As you sit here, look at this propaganda, best dad ever. I'm not trying to get you to say anything. You're wholesome. I get it.

You're wholesome. You say this to me every time that you are here. So who do you think is going to win? You think the Chiefs will win just because of it?

Or now, now all figurative bets are off. I don't, I don't watch Chief's games. You don't? I don't.

It just, it drives me insane. I think I'll live. I've watched like 50 of them. It's cool. It's cool.

I don't watch the NBA. I don't watch a lot of things anymore because I mean, I got kids, but then also like, I just, um, I know you watch this, you're going to want to stay at this, you know, changes, sports changes. Everything changes. And at some point you just, you know, back in the eighties, listening to your hair metal, you don't know, like, you know, when your car's yelling at you and you don't know why you just become this confused old man. So that's basically what I am. A confused old man. I'm just a confused old man. Don't listen to me. Everything's on the up and up. Bill Burr Drop Dead Year is available streaming exclusively on Hulu.

Sounds like there's a bunch of money involved here, Rich. On March 14th. Uh, and then I cannot wait. I will, I will be in the audience at some point. Previews begin March 10th.

The show opens March 31st, runs through May, so you better get tickets while you can. To Glen Gary, Glen Ross on Broadway, Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, Michael McKeon and you. I always say I'm going to sit up and then I forget. It's okay. You look great. Huh? Do I? Yeah, you do. When I slouch, I look like a Mr. Potato Head.

We started, uh, we started, we watching The Mandalorian at my house too. Is it, is it fair to ask you if you're going to be in that movie or, or no? Is it fair to ask? I don't know. For some reason you can't say what? I don't, I don't, I don't know.

You know what's weird? Like you can't, like you can't, uh, they're real secretive about stuff like that. Everybody's like secretive and then you can't like for some reason be like, uh, like I just got a gig in Italy and for, and I'm sitting there on my podcast being like, can I say this? Why wouldn't you want me to say it? I don't know. But I think because there's so much stuff that people are watching, they try to have like a little bit of a surprise day of media blitzkrieg this, they went both sides. Do I see you in the Mandalorian?

Allies and Axis. What do I see you in the Mandalorian movie? Do you see me in that? Yes. Do you know how quickly Disney would whack me if I answered that?

That's why I asked if it was fair. I'm sorry to put you on a spot that I hope I do see you in the Mandalorian movie. You know what? You have, you have Mandalorian fatigue. I have fatigue waiting for the Mandalorian.

That's what I have. I can't wait to see it. That's why I'm excited about it. You know, I feel like you just, you just don't think, you know, everything that I was saying in the green room that none of that landed with you. Everything you said is on air rich or is this rich? Am I talking to rich? You're not looking at me.

I'm looking directly at you. No, I get it. I get it, dude. I get it. No, no. No, I get it. I get it. I don't want to ruin your gig.

You're not ruining a damn thing, man. I'm excited to see Mark Marquez riding for the Team Ducati with Pekka Benyai. I love motorcycle racing and all that stuff. So that's what you're watching? You're watching that?

Is that what you want? I think that's the best racing out there as far as like the amount of passing and stuff. Like so many, you know, there'll be like three, four races a year where like on the last lap, the guy in first and second will like pass each other like three or four times. And then it's hilarious. Like the announcers, they're almost like, they go up into falsetto and now Mark Marquez is back. It sounds like that spam sketch from Monty Python.

That's right. Lewis Hamilton. There's another one, like the F1, they do stuff.

It just cracks me up. But I like, I started with F1, but I just found like there was too little amount of like passing. And then there's just been like domination, like one driver, like it was, you know, and nobody can like beat them. So it just kind of got boring.

But then I got into motorcycle racing. I'm like, oh, this is, this is really like great stuff. So I don't know, I'm like, I'm excited about that. Well, like I said, I'm pumped to see you on Broadway, man.

Oh, okay. You're going to come out? I'm going to come out 100%. I said too many things here that maybe somebody calls you up and says, I don't know, man.

I don't know. Rich, if you like your sports show, zero, I don't think that you, nothing made me want to go. You and I are great. You will leave here.

Great. I will be feeling great and I will have no voicemails. What if I told you they added a dance number to the Glengarry Glen Ross and it's just me solo. And I'm definitely showing up. I will be sitting in a front row seat, sir.

No, no, no, no. I am beyond excited to do that. This is something that, I mean, yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be, I don't know what it's going to be. I've never done it. So I'm kind of like, yeah, I'm, you're, you were built to do David Mamet as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, thank you. I cannot wait to see it. And again, everyone should go get tickets. Opening March 31st begins on March 10th and right in the middle on March 14th, Bill Burr drop dead years. You don't think the Eagles have good enough defense to beat that system? I think I absolutely do, but I need to make sure that my paycheck clears so the Chiefs are going to win. Bill Burr here, everybody, right here on the Rich Johnson Show.

Just keep him on the line. Hello? Hello?

Hello? LeBron? We lost him.

Three and five in the finals, whatever. Hey, I've got Tiger. Thank you, bald brotherhood. Balder is better. I couldn't have done it without you, bald brotherhood. Thank you.

Less is more. Thank you, bald brotherhood. Now I'm fresh and clean. Well, I guess I won't be needing this anymore. Thanks, bald brotherhood.

That's correct. Ladies and gentlemen, that was fun. God.

He just cracks me up. What? Well, he took some shots, you know, you're kind of staggering on the ropes there. I don't know if you're going to be able to bounce back and finish the show. What are you talking about? I think Mike might have thrown the towel on you. Who's throwing the towel on me? Susie might. What are you talking about?

You just might have some conversations when you get home. What are you talking about? I'm just saying. What am I?

What are you? What are you talking about? Oh, my God.

Rich is like an old prizefighter struggling to stay off the ropes. Is that what you texted you? Yeah. Okay. Be careful.

What's up, hon? Pete Carroll is being introduced as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders as we speak. He looks great. Have you seen any of these clips from him? Of course he looks great. He looks amazing.

What do you think? He's just got old and gray. And he spent a year doing nothing.

He was working out. Come on, man. 73. He'll be 74 week one. I know.

It's just going to be literally. He's going to get sick and tired of that. What? The age thing? Yeah. That's what I said. It's all you're going to hear about his age.

It is great to see him back, man. What was the question that was asked of Pete Carroll? Oh, working with Tom Brady, the quarterback of the team that prevented him from going back.

Ah, yes. It's just, I mean, the fact that this is happening, Pete Carroll is a Tom Brady hire, his first one. Crazy.

Can't make it up. When Mark figured out how valuable it would be to put Tom Brady in this mix and bring that kind of football background in history, Mark made a great move and it's our job to celebrate that for Mark and to make sure that this comes to life the way it can with the great possibilities and the great future and the immediate future as well.

And is it possible that Chidor Sanders and Russell Wilson are in the same quarterback room? Uh, yes. Could you imagine that's the way the Raiders go into business? That's fun.
