Bill Burr discussed Bobby Orr's book, focusing on its insights into hockey and parenting, praising the beginning of the book as a must-read for potential parents.
I got up, I have a book I want to recommend. Bobby Orr wrote a book. It's called 'My Story' and I'm just blowing through it over here because I got a little bit of jet lag and I gotta tell you like the beginning of that book whether you're into sports or not should be read at the very least, just the beginning you have to at least read that. It should be required reading for anybody who's gonna be a parent or anybody in life who wants to, I don't know, either maximize their own potential or not get in the way of other people trying, you know, to develop whatever gift that they had.
He was basically talking, you know, if you don't know hockey whatever Bobby Orr basically he changed the game, especially the the position of being a defenseman. Back in the day all the defensemen did when his team had the puck was basically skate up to the blue line and just stop there and your whole goal was basically keep it in the offensive zone and not get caught up ice and but Bobby Orr was so fast he would actually go down crashed and that he's the first defenseman to score over a hundred points.
Just he ushered in the error of an offensive defenseman which was in was was completely unheard of. But when he started playing hockey he was playing forward and he was playing defense and he kind of switched off and I don't know if you seem like they naturally came together both aspects of playing, you know, both those positions, but he was lucky enough to have a coach that didn't say like well now you're playing defense and this is how you play defense you play it from here to here he actually let him create and I don't know.
I saw a lot of parallels to that and the business that I was in that I'm in where it's like he was talking about how you know kids when they first start playing hockey should not be you should not be introduced to any sort of system of playing hockey until I don't know you're like 15 60 whatever when you start getting old enough where you're gonna actually play in a game that means something other than that you should just let kids create with the puck and it I don't know teaching a kid is basically a system when he's five years old is slowing down the growth of the game.
You know what he wrote it, you read it, he's a genius, I'm a moron. It took me fucking 10 minutes to get to that fucking point. I apologize. Please do not judge the book on my rambling right there.

Bill Burr discussed Bobby Orr's book, mentioning its insightful beginning about parenting and maximizing potential, and how it relates to stand-up comedy and sports.
I have a book I want to recommend Bobby or wrote a book it's called My Story and I'm just blowing through it over here because I got a little bit of jet lag and I gotta tell you like the beginning of that book whether you're into sports or not should be read at the very least just the beginning you have to at least read that It should be required reading for anybody who's gonna be a parent or anybody in life who wants to I don't know either maximize their own potential or not get in the way of other people trying you know to develop whatever gift that they had.
He was basically talking you know if you don't know hockey whatever Bobby or basically he changed the game especially the position of being a defenseman back in the day all the defensemen did when his team had the puck was basically skate up to the blue line and just stop there and your whole goal was basically keep it in the offensive zone and not get caught up ice.
But Bobby or was so fast he would actually go down crash and that his first defenseman to score over a hundred points just he ushered in the era of an offensive defenseman which was was completely unheard of but when he started playing hockey he was playing forward and he was playing defense and he kind of switched off and I don't know it just seemed like they naturally came together both aspects of playing you know both those positions.
But he was lucky enough to have a coach that didn't say like well now you're playing defense and this is how you play defense you play it from here to here he actually let him create and I don't know I saw a lot of parallels to that in the business that I was in that I'm in where it's like he was talking about how you know kids when they first start playing hockey should not be you should not be introduced to any sort system of playing hockey until I don't know you're like 15 60 whatever when you start getting old enough where you're gonna actually play in a game that means something.
Other than that you should just let kids create with the puck and and it I don't know teaching a kid is basically a system when he's five years old is slowing down the growth of the game I would think and there's a lot of parallels like within stand-up or like oh don't talk about this that isn't funny or I don't know as people try to find their voice or whatever there's like all these fucking rules I don't know I trying to think of a actual spoken rule in comedy but there you basically just through watching all this other people doing stand-up you kind of get these ideas of like stand-up exists from here to right here it's the same like idea people had on being a defenseman in hockey I don't know as as and I guess hopefully if you're an up-and-coming comic you're not working you're not opening for some cunt of a headliner who's telling you as you go to do something that's outside of the realm of what they think is possible that they go no you should never do that you should never lean on the mic stand with your left hand always have it on the right hand I don't know whatever.
