Bill Burr Slams Bill Maher Over Cease-Fire Stance: ‘Why Am I F**king Listening To You?’
HuffPost
The friendly comics sparred when Burr, who said he’s “on the side of the kids” when it comes to the Israel-Gaza conflict, mocked Maher on his own show.
Bill Burr isn’t impressed by Bill Maher’s vehement stance against ongoing college protests.
The seasoned standup appeared Sunday on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast when Maher, who uses his weekly HBO platform to mock calls for a cease-fire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, claimed students are “demonstrating for Hamas” — and asked if Burr was on the same side.
“I’m on the side of the kids,” he told Maher, who said that “no one wants to see kids dead.”
The conversation grew increasingly heated when Burr congratulated him on that “brave” perspective, as Maher replied with the utmost sincerity in claiming that he actually is “the one” who’s “brave on this” subject — and Burr advised him to “pat yourself on the back.”
The two comics spoke for more than an hour and a half and, while they disagreed on plenty of subjects, kept it respectful throughout. Burr is famous for keeping people in check, however, and did just that after Maher claimed Israel has “hard-nosed decisions” to make.
