Funny thing is, he does have a helicopter and his helicopter pilots license. Which he got in case of emergencies. After the LA fires this year I saw an interview with him where he was talking about it.

He was making fun of himself because he got his license and the helicopter to flee things like the LA fire but helicopters are expensive and he couldn’t afford more than a 2-seater so he can’t take his whole family if he ever had to really use it.

So my comment was based off a real thing he may say as to why he needed the money.

Tbh though, I could see him going with that third one.

Thank You!!

Agreed about 90s Chappelle… I think he would have had more empathy and understanding in selecting gigs than current Chappelle.

You’re right, I guess spin is the wrong word here since it is a PR term and Bill Burr isn’t a PR type of guy.

I intended to mean, I wonder what he will say about this when he is publicly asked about it.

I am assuming he will be blunt and honest with answers ranging from,

“it’s none of your damn business”

to

“I needed a new helicopter that has more than 2 seats so I can evacuate my family from LA safely once shit hits the fan and I don’t want to put myself in a Sofie’s Choice kinda situation”

or

“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking when I accepted the job but donated the paycheck to the 9/11 families fund.”

Agreed on the Bill Burr part.

He is the only one who I was surprised and disappointed to see attending. All those others are people who’d I expect to chase money over morals and I didn’t respect as individuals already.

I wonder how he is going to spin this.

It’s not lazy to ask someone who seems to know something about the topic within a discussion thread about said topic. You know more than I do on this.

I understand how you may not want to take the time to answer someone’s question but also you could have replied with the link you eventually did instead of saying “Seriously?” Within the context of calling others lazy you could also qualify under the same term since you took the time to respond but not with the answer.

With search being what it is nowadays I wouldn’t know if I am getting a good result to find out the answer since it is of a technical and specific nature I may or may not even know if I am familiar with to begin with. It could take me much longer to figure it out, or I will give up and not be interested in finding out more about a field you seem to have an interest and knowledge about and I am demonstrating I want to know more about.

I think it is fair to ask for more information from someone who shows more expertise in the topic before searching.

Thanks!

Agreed!

I don’t know what this is but it is a topic I am somewhat familiar with and it is somehow significant enough to be a headline.

Curious minds would like to know more.
