Hey, what's going on, it's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Thursday Afternoon, Just Before Friday Monday Morning Podcast, and I'm just checking in on you.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

Ooh.

SPEAKER_3 (0:14)

What's going on?

Bill Burr (0:15)

I'm in a good fucking mood.

SPEAKER_3 (0:16)

Oh, Billy, good mood.

SPEAKER_4 (0:18)

Billy's in a good mood.

SPEAKER_3 (0:19)

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

Bill Burr (0:21)

You know why?

SPEAKER_3 (0:22)

Is there anything better than feeling vindicated?

SPEAKER_5 (0:27)

Like, I told you this shit was gonna happen.

SPEAKER_6 (0:30)

You didn't fucking believe me.

SPEAKER_7 (0:32)

Or maybe I didn't tell you.

SPEAKER_3 (0:34)

Maybe I just thought about it.

Bill Burr (0:36)

Maybe you never said that you didn't believe me, but I just invent the thing that somebody said they didn't believe in me.

SPEAKER_3 (0:41)

You know?

SPEAKER_8 (0:43)

Like how people say that all the time.

SPEAKER_3 (0:44)

You know, these people, they don't want us to do this.

Bill Burr (0:47)

That DJ Khaled guy, I love how he's always inventing.

SPEAKER_9 (0:50)

They don't want us to do this, so we're gonna do this.

SPEAKER_5 (0:53)

It's like, dude, nobody said you couldn't do that.

SPEAKER_11 (0:56)

Right? I'm doing that right now.

SPEAKER_12 (0:59)

What did I say?

Bill Burr (1:00)

What did I say on Monday? When I was talking about, you know, there was this sportscaster and he was talking about, oh, the fucking Red Sox, you know, they're down nine to nothing. They hit one home run.

SPEAKER_11 (1:12)

You're about ready to get swept and you put the Oscar the Grouch thing on you.

SPEAKER_9 (1:16)

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Bill Burr (1:18)

Is this what baseball's come to? And I literally fucking said, I go, I agree with you, and but if you're going to say, what is baseball coming to? You got to keep going and say that your team, the fucking New York Yankees, just jumped up and down with goggles on, spraying champagne on each other because they won two games in a row against a third place team, 11 games out.

SPEAKER_9 (1:39)

What the fuck are we doing with this fucking champagne?

Bill Burr (1:43)

We were spraying around champagne as a third place team, 11 games out because we made the playoffs.

SPEAKER_3 (1:48)

Like they should have given us non-alcohol beer.

SPEAKER_9 (1:53)

Like what are we doing here?

Bill Burr (1:55)

So anyway, they were all celebrating and everything. And then what happened? This week, you played the team that won the division and you got swept.

SPEAKER_13 (2:05)

So like, what was all of that?

Bill Burr (2:07)

I have to be on. And then watching the devil raise, celebrating. I mean, I get it. You're gonna do some high fives and everything, but jumping up and down and doing all of this extra shit, nacking out a broom, sweeping and all of this stuff.

SPEAKER_9 (2:23)

And it's like, guys, you just beat a wild card team.

Bill Burr (2:27)

The goal here is to win the World Series.

SPEAKER_9 (2:29)

Like, you don't have to break out into like, doing like cartwheels and shit. Like, you want to win a World Series.

Bill Burr (2:43)

You got the Dodgers, like a fucking $10 billion behemoth on the horizon if you make it to the fucking World Series.

SPEAKER_9 (2:52)

Like, let's not get excited because we beat the wild card New York Yankees.

Bill Burr (2:59)

We beat a second place team. I don't know, the whole thing is fucking weird to me. So, I feel vindicated.

All right. And if I was running the MLB, you would not be able to get anywhere near champagne until you won the pennant and you were going to the World Series. And even then, it wouldn't be an expensive brand. There'd only be a couple of bottles, but it would be like a, yeah, it's an accomplishment to get to the World Series. You won the pennant. That shit counts. All right.

SPEAKER_13 (3:36)

This other stuff is, it's a joke.

Bill Burr (3:39)

It's like, this isn't even the appetizers before the meal. The meal hasn't even started.

SPEAKER_9 (3:45)

You're still driving to the restaurant.

Bill Burr (3:47)

Now the devil rays are going into the ALCS. The playoffs have begun. This is where the playoffs used to start when I was a kid.

You had two fucking divisions. Whoever won the divisions played each other.

SPEAKER_9 (4:00)

The winner went to the World Series.

Bill Burr (4:04)

It's fucking reminded me, like, when I first started watching. I was just talking about this with Verzi.
