TRANSCRIPT:
Bill Burr: There’s like a thing if you fly like F-15s you also have to be like good looking. You know what I mean?

You can’t come in there with that fucking country bumpkin bullshit. You gotta lose that accent. Get yourself a little high and tight haircut.

Go in there with your fucking cowboy boots.

You know what it is. Those fucking lunatics after all those years of riding bulls and shooting while boar. When they put them on that little fucking, what is that ride? The centrifuge?

Whatever they put them in. You know when your face starts doing this shit. You know they just sit there going: “Whoooo.”

It’s going to take a lot more, a lot more than that, you know, going around in a circle, to scare a redneck. You know what I mean? They’re putting dynamite in old lawnmowers, blowing their legs off.

You've seen that video?

I blew my leg off.

This guy blows his leg off and that’s what he says: I blew my leg off.

That’s it? Where’s the screaming?

I would be like: AHH, my god. My life I’m going to bleed out. AHHHH. Get your belt. And he’s just like:

I blew my leg off.

Probably called his mom.

Mom. Mom it’s me. I blew my leg off.

Naw. I’m not going to be home tonight.

I was trying to think of a good cowboy name.

It's Jesse. I blew my leg off.

Jesse won’t be here today: he blew his leg off, shooting at an old tractor

That’s what this guy did. He had an old fucking tractor. He filled it up with this explosive. And there is some sort of like, you know, ratio. For whatever pounds of explosives the amount of feet you have to be away from it. And he didn’t do that. You know. Like when you put together something. You just throw the directions out. He did that with like fucking dynamite and he stuck it in an old lawn mower. No, a riding mower. Just that blade alone if that came flying at you would take your fucking heard off. And he’s standing you know, like he already shot something and now is just going for the kill shot. Just walked right up to it. Shoots the thing.

The camera goes like that. He falls down. And just goes:

I blew my leg off.

You got to tell that story for the rest of your fucking life.

How did you lose your leg? Were you in Fallujah?

Naw.

I put a bunch on dynamite in an old tractor. And I, I dunno, was about, ah, seven, eight feet away from it and I started shooting at it. And you know it blew up and, ah, it took my leg with it.

Was it painful?

Oh Yeah. Oh Yeah.

Were you screaming?

No.

What’d you do?

I just stated the obvious. I blew my leg off.

It’s like an endless character.
