Bill Burr on mid

I like sitting in the crowd. Like when I go to a sporting event, I want to get good seats, but the closer you sit, the quieter it gets and the less fun it gets. It’s the most fucked-up thing. Unless it’s like an NBA game where before they had a DJ play the whole time. I remember I saw the Lakers play the Knicks, and Comedy Central had courtside seats; I sat there, and you could hear the shit they were talking to each other. That was fucking amazing. But everything else, the closer you get, the more money people have, the less fun it gets. So I was always, like, mezzanine level. I don’t want to be up there with binoculars and super-fucking-shit-faced people, but I like the mid — when the alcohol intake, the view, everything looks like mid. Whatever the second-color-row seats are, that’s what I like.
