family i
would safe suburbs you know you're from a nice family you're cultured i've seen
you act you're
polite how fucking brutal are those piano solos for guys like you and me to sit
like when you
see people in tuxedos i was talking about on the podcast last week people in tuxedos
and they're
sitting there and they're watching some dude on a violin or like uh a piano
solo and they're making
believe like they're into it you're not into it you cannot be into it you can't
be but like way
it's the scene that you shouldn't be into but listening to a musician playing
any instrument
at the top of their game i could listen to that all day long i'm not gonna sit
there with ruffles
on with a big fan right myself right and going you know like that shit i'm
gonna dress like the
yeah i'm gonna take out my lighter yeah like you came out and said if i listen
to the guitar the
piano solo i die whatever the fuck i was rolling when i saw that monday morning
i live for that shit
people don't know that the the grammy thing i was fucking row bill you have
just been the thing
about the that they're gonna say that was a bad piece of music no hell of a
fucking thing they have
to go like that's the comedy thing and like we're all out here because all
those babies died and we're
gonna raise money tonight all right your first comedian it's just like dude
what the fuck we know
why we're here you're killing me so it was actually you know in a roundabout
way i was complimenting
the guy who was playing the piano because he played it so well he created that
mood so perfectly
that there was nothing i could do other than address the hole that he you know
not on purpose put me in
i was reading some of the tweets you know the response like oh my god what is
why is he there
like what the fuck is wrong with you it's a joke no but that's that's a decent
point why am i there
the fact that a comedian yeah who's totally completely tone deaf and can't even
play a
fucking ukulele or a kazoo not saying a ukulele is easy to play if all you
fucking hipster douches get
mad um yeah how could i be eligible to win a grammy i mean they have to come up
with these beautiful
pieces of music that make the world dance and think about love and all that
shit and i'm up there with
like shit jokes you know but what do they fucking expect the producers had to
hire you and go we need
a little levity in this fucking thing let's get bill burr up there to break the
ice a little bit just
something what do they expect i gotta come out of your mouth brother i had i
had a meltdown before
i went in to go do that thing i get freaked out by certain things that i feel
are too big first of
all i thought i was going to be on tv i didn't know i was on the pre-internet
fucking me standing
in a warehouse in burbank and not the undercard you were on the undercard yeah
you on the undercard
of a fucking main card like you're on the undercard all those fights they show
after yeah if if the main
event went too quick it's like oh yeah here's some shit that happened six hours
ago yeah i had no idea
i went out and bought a tom ford suit blew all this fucking money and uh so
like but i thought i was
going to be on the uh the thing with the daily show guy and i was like so i was
freaking out being like
okay so there's going to be because there's going to be like 2 000 people there
spread out 2 000 people
in the fucking staples center i'm going to feel like i'm in a giant coffee
house eating my balls
and the suit was supposed to be delivered i had the wrong number i'm trying to
take my wife out to
dinner and i was just like oh i don't want to fucking do this i didn't ask to
do this i didn't even
submit for this thing i didn't submit for this now i got to go down there and
wear this fucking monkey
suits i was already freaking out and like as always as always i build it up
like it's going to be
fucking horrific and everybody's going to hate me and i'm gonna have to go home
and live with my
parents again and then i went in there and i had a fucking ball dude let me
tell you something pre
the pre grammy show is where it's at dude we were i was making the camera crew
laugh the other hosts were
hilarious we were over there just having a fucking great time man i and i would
do it anytime they
wanted as long as it's the pre grammy show i don't want to be on the real one
now the pre one out in
burbank that's the party that's where it's at you go to the fucking uh the real
one then you got to
deal with these people who were upset that they didn't get enough nominations
or they didn't get
nominated and they're sitting there sulking even though they already sold a zillion
albums
which was really disappointed you know i really like the weekend you know this
is probably going to
damage his street cred that i like him but just to see that guy be that into
that award i know there's
other you know shit involved but like at some point you got to be like look
dude i'm an adult am i
going to get upset because i'm not going to get a trophy like what am i in
fucking little league
you got to carry yourself with a little bit of fucking arrogance like i don't
need your shiny
thing to sit here and validate that my shit jokes exist
