This is FRESH AIR.
I'm Terry Gross.
My guest, Bill Burr,
was recently described by New York Times comedy columnist Tony Jason Zinneman
as one of the greatest living stand up comics.
In Rolling Stone, Burr was described as the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage fueled humor.
Bill Burr has a new comedy special on Hulu called Drop Dead Years.
It starts streaming Friday, March 14th.
Here's an excerpt.
He's talking about driving on the freeway
in LA where he lives when he's caught in bumper to bumper traffic.
Meanwhile, there's hardly any cars in the HOV lane and high occupancy vehicle lane,
which is reserved for vehicles with at least two people.
He's tempted to get into that lane even though there's no one else in his car.
But he knows the HOV rules are strictly enforced.
I could go in there by myself, okay?
