Joe Rogan Experience #1348 - Bill Burr

Two, one.
Young Bill Burr, Paper Tiger, coming out tonight on Netflix.
Ooh, exciting.
Are you pumped?
Yes, I am.
I'm very excited, I think more just to see, you know, just to people see how
good it looks.
It was Mike Binder directed it.
And, you know, I just, I don't know, I just had this idea for how special I
wanted it to look.
And none of it really had to do with other, like, necessarily comedy specials.
More like rock concerts that I saw.
And not saying it's all, like, super jumpy and stuff, but just sort of like, I
don't know.
It's weird how the way they shot shit back in the day where they held shots
longer, so it sucked you in.
So you kind of felt, not necessarily that you were there, but the presence of
being there.
And I really have this belief that if you fucking go edit really quick, quick,
quick, quick, quick, it's like flipping through the channels.
And each time, like, your brain resets.
And, like, when you go to a show, you're just sitting there looking at the band
or looking at the comedian like that.
It's not like, I'm here, now I'm in the balcony, now I'm behind you, now I'm up
here and all that.
So we tried to make sure, like, the pacing of it.
I explained it to him and he was just like, I get it.
Well, he's a comic.
So that certainly helps.
Yeah.
So the way he did it, I hope that people see that as opposed to the shit that
they normally do.
Like, hmm, how can I get offended?
Well, they're definitely going to get offended.
It's a sport now to get offended by comedy.
It seems like people get excited to be offended.
I know.
A lot of the questions I've gotten from people, non-comedians, that have been
about, you know,
well, in the light of Dave specials, it's like, weren't you guys all mad at
Sebastian like a week ago?
Now it's Dave.
Were they mad at him for the VH1 thing?
No, they weren't.
One person got mad and wrote something.
And then everybody, oh yeah, oh yeah, I didn't realize I didn't like that.
I don't like that.
What was it?
I didn't hear a peep out of that.
Did you hear what they said?
I don't want to start it back up for him.
Oh.
Trying to get him all going again.
It was just like...
I don't know why he did that anyway.
I was like, those things are never fun.
And you're basically, you know, you're the host of what's a commercial for a
bunch of bands.
It's just, he's a great comic.
He sells out Madison Square Garden.
He doesn't need to do that.
And he did a great job too.
Yeah.
He did a great job.
Somebody was talking about...
Four times in two nights.
Yeah.
Which is crazy.
He turned over Madison Square Garden like a comedy club.
Yeah.
Like he was doing an improv.
Like he's doing the fucking great improv.
I got two shows Fridays, two shows Saturday.
Come down to see me.
Madison Square Garden.
It's at, oh yeah, Madison Square Garden.
In the round.
There was no other way.
18,000 people.
Yeah.
18 times.
Well, I was saying he could have done Giant Stadium.
He could have.
He really could have.
But it's like, why bother?
Why bother doing VH1 Music Awards?
It's just, it's not a good venue for comedy.
It's not a good, like people see him.
It's not...
You know why?
Because Eddie did it.
Chris did it.
I'm going to talk too much to keep this fucking thing going.
And it's like a legendary old school stand-up gig.
VH1 Music Awards?
No, it was MTV.
Was it MTV Music Awards?
They're all the same to me.
Does VH1 have their own music awards?
They don't?
Look at me.
I'm fucking so old.
I don't even know what I'm talking about.
Are they making CDs?
Are they selling CDs after the show?
I know.
I still remember that MTV was cooler than VH1.
Does your Jaguar have a CD player?
Um, no.
Why?
My car doesn't have one either.
All right.
My Tesla doesn't have a fucking...
I was trying to do the math.
Is he subtly insulting me?
No.
You got a cassette tape in there?
I'm just saying they don't...
They don't have them anymore.
I got a VCR in the trunk.
Somewhere along the line, they just stopped making them.
Well, that's the thing.
You know, I was in New York all summer and all those, all those, the up-and-coming
rappers
are like trying to hand you a CD.
It's like, what am I going to do with that?
They still have CDs?
Well, then they do something, then they, oh, uh, just click on this or scan
this, and
it goes to like a Vimeo page.
And then I'm like, is this guy in my phone now?
Like, what just happened?
Does he have my contacts?
Yeah.
So I just kind of steer clear to them.
I get weirded out by those little Q-scan things.
Is that what they call them?
Was it Q?
Q, what was it?
QR code.
QR code.
I get weirded out by those things because your camera goes on it and then boom,
it opens
up a website.
I'm like, what is happening here?
I'll tell you what's a weird one.
Is they have home security systems now where I was reading an ad for this on my
podcast
and I was thinking like afterwards, like, like a lot of times home, I guess, um,
I don't
know, alarm goes off cause your window blows open and then everybody fucking
shows up and
it's like, oh, sorry, the window blew open.
This actually has video cameras so they can confirm that somebody is in your
house.
But then I'm thinking like, well, what's to stop them from just turn that on
and start
watching your life like a show?
Nothing.
Like, hey, they're fighting again.
Well, for sure.
If there's a stream, it's possible for someone to do that.
For sure.
If there's a stream.
No, no, in the contract, it says we would never do that.
Oh, okay.
Oh, it's not like some people don't.
Look at this.
Doorbell camera from Ring has partnered with 400 police forces extending
surveillance concerns.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, as long as they're just using it to catch the bad guys, which is going
to be what
they're saying.
But there's, there's going to be somebody, somebody has their dick in their
hand right
now.
Looking at that door.
Looking through that doorbell.
It's inevitable.
And then the way people get obsessed.
Like, then you're jerking off just to the woman walking up to the door to go
into her house
and it's not enough.
Man, I got to see what's up.
I got to see what's behind the door.
Calls up.
Hey, would you be interested in furthering your security?
No, I think the doorbell's enough.
Interesting you say that.
We just had a case the other day where unfortunately she thought it was enough
and it wasn't.
Really?
And then sells him that.
Now he's watching her eating cornflakes.
It's a slow creep into your life.
How much time before it's everywhere?
Before everyone can see everyone everywhere.
Yeah, I don't know.
But what's weird is younger people have a much different idea of privacy.
Yeah.
Because this shit has kind of been out there.
I would not want to be young right now.
They have a real tough time where, dude, when I was younger, when I got my ass
kicked, it
was over.
It wasn't video documentation for the rest of my life.
This is the kid from Rocky Point.
He's all grown up now.
And you're trying to get laid in a bar like 20 years later.
You're like, yes, that happened.
I was eight.
Sorry.
I was just thinking of that.
I watched this kid try to throw a triangle up in a street fight and the guy
slammed him
on his head and punched him unconscious and kept punching him while he was out.
And then the kid just climbed off of him and walked towards his friends.
And everybody's like, oh.
And this guy's lying on the ground, pawing up his arms, like probably
experiencing severe
brain damage.
And I'm thinking, what if that was my son?
You know, what if that's your son?
You watch some guy slam him on his head and then, as he's unconscious, punch
him five,
six, seven times in the face.
Yeah, that's fucked.
It's fucked.
That's why I stopped fighting.
That's why?
You don't want to hurt anybody?
No.
No, I didn't want to be that guy.
I was like baby fat tough until like fucking sixth grade.
And then I sort of leaned out and then I was like, I better get funny.
And then that's when people started to learn how to fight.
And there was blood and shit.
And I remember there was this dude, I think I told this story before, I got up,
the kid
got off the bus.
He was fucking jacked.
The other kid was kind of baby Huey, big guy.
But the other kid got off the bus first and he just jumped him.
And then just sat on his chest and it was like, oh, one of those fucking fights.
And the kid didn't come to school for a week.
He came back, by the time he came back to school, most of the swelling had come
down,
but he almost looked like he was a cousin.
It wasn't him.
Yeah.
And I was just like, yeah, I'm not, I don't, I don't want that to happen to me.
So that's one of the darkest things that I've ever heard anybody say about a
fight.
Khabib Nurmagomedov said about Conor McGregor.
He goes, I want to change his face.
Yeah.
See, there's people out there like that, that are like, yeah, there's this,
that, okay,
I should stop now is missing.
And you don't want to be underneath all of that.
They just kept getting worse.
The older I got that sound of somebody's head hitting the floor.
The worst is world star hip hop videos where, well, the worst one I ever saw
was this guy
was drunk and he was talking shit and one guy knocked him out.
And then when he's out cold lying down, everybody took shots at him.
I mean, everybody in the street, people were kicking him in the head and we're
running up
to him and kicking him like a soccer ball, punched him in the face.
I mean, like 10, 15 people doing it, just running up to him, boom, kicking him,
running up, punching him.
Yeah.
It's horrific.
How did we get on this?
I don't know.
I got a great special coming out.
Yeah.
Your comedy special has nothing to do with brain damage or random acts of
violence.
Why'd you decide to do it in England?
Because I'm a Zeppelin fan and it was, it was about doing it at that.
I didn't, I just wanted to perform at that venue.
Royal Albert Hall.
Yeah.
So then I performed there and had a great time, although it was in my head for
a long
time, like during the show, I was like, I'm standing where Robert Plant was
standing and
John Bonham's drums were fucking right there.
And I really had a hard time because-
While you were doing stand-up?
Yeah.
How many shows did you do?
I just did, I just did the one.
It was in June of last year.
Wow.
You only filmed one show.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's the first time I did it.
So then, you know, some of my reps came over and I was just like, wow, this
place is amazing.
I mean, it was, it was incredible.
And we just started talking, just going, you think maybe you could shoot a
special here?
I was like, yeah, I don't know.
And I was like, ah, it's my shit going to work over here.
It would be different.
You know, each special, I try to make it be a little different, a different
vibe, you
know, Southern crowd, Northern crowd, West coast, East coast or whatever.
So we just kept talking about it.
And then I talked to Binder about it and it all just became about me.
And him smoking a cigar in London.
I was like, all right, fuck it.
Let's do it.
And then the whole way up, I was questioning going, did I fuck up?
Was this fucking stupid?
I should have just shot it in the States.
And then I'd be like, no, no, no, it was a good idea.
It's a good idea.
Wait a minute.
What if, what if, what if I don't fucking, and just, you know, which probably
ended up
being a good thing for it.
But, um, I, you know, I did a run of dates leading up to it before I shot over
there and
I kind of knew what was going to work and I knew what was, wasn't going to work.
And then, you know, people who are showing up, they're listening to your
podcast.
So they get like the references and stuff because I was talking to somebody
going, oh,
I was surprised that, you know, they got a lot of those references.
It's like, well, that's a specific crowd coming to see me.
If I did all of those jokes in front of just a random London crowd, I think of
people,
you know, what the fuck's this guy talking about?
Where'd you do gigs befor
