      Thanks for that! I find the phrase “rabid with greed” to be really apt. Like a rabid animal greed is the only part of them that exists anymore , it is their entire being and only drive

      That’s one of the things I respect the hell out of with Bill Burr. He says plenty of shit I disagree with, but also says lots that I strongly agree with. His opinions are truly his own and he’ll voice them to a reasonable point. He’s no one’s parrot.

        Which one was his last one. I liked paper tiger. His podcast is alright, i listened to it for a while, it just seemed a bit pointless to listen to every single week.

    Love the disingenous photo of him giving a monologue to imply for the people who can’t read past headlines that he said this as some sort of speech

      Some people reading this article might think “Who’s Bill Burr again?”, and you can’t exactly post a picture of the podcast where this was said. So instead, it’s a good representation of what he is, a stand up comedian. It’s a picture of him doing his job, not some toned downed way to communicate to the sheep masses.
