um let's start right here from patreon david laval sent this in great
conversation with bill
burr and it was cool to see him giving you some feedback and advice from a guy
who's been on top
of the game for a long time was there anything in particular he said that
resonated with you
or made you think differently about comedy and your career thank you david laveo
lavele
um you know it was it was it was tough to it was tough it was tough uh i was
really really glad that
bill came in he and i had never had a long conversation uh in person before
ever we'd
had a couple of conversations on the phone and so i think it was kind of a new
you know i don't know
if we knew each other's vibes that well i mean or i don't think he knew mine
very well and that
makes sense you know i mean i'm an oyster you know i'm a barnacle and he's a
cruise ship you know um
and it was tough and it was it was tough like i couldn't it was just a tough
conversation man it
just wasn't it wasn't bad you know what it was in hindsight it was exactly what
i should have expected
you know he's bill burr he's a reason there's a reason that um that i think he's
the best because
he's just you know he is just he's a train man he's just a train and he has his
thoughts and he has
his his ideas and his and he's poignant about them and i don't know if i had
expectations in my head
that it was going to be more of like a jovial chatter or i just think our you
know i just think
our ideas of of of of conversation or the way we we conversate are just
different a little bit
and um and he is exactly what i you know he's really he was he was bill burr to
a tee he's brash
he's uh he's he's poignant he's exactly he's exact um you know he's he's really
he really is like a
like a nasa you know like a rocket you know and i'm more like sometimes like
feel armstrong you know
you find me just kind of moseying around on the moon you know monitoring how i
feel
and he's more he's that master blaster he'll shoot right by you and so yeah
there were some things
he said that really did kind of resonate with me um i think when he said that
you have to work well
with others you know he kind of said you got to get over not working uh with
others um
and i think some of that is true it's like i got to look at myself and it's
like well if i'm going to
be work in certain circles um then i have to be sure that i'm comfortable with
it but i gotta i kind of
have to make a decision so i'm not waffling all the time because half my choice
is you could put
syrup on them bitch they waffles you know i'm here i'm there i got butter i got
you know
margarine so who knows so that was pretty good um
um what else did i take away from it uh
i definitely i came away feeling like
like it was probably good like if i had some ego that maybe this was letting
some air out of it
um you know i felt sometimes like i couldn't like i didn't know what to say
um and i don't know if that's the best place to be sometimes you're supposed to
be interviewing
somebody or having a conversation with them uh but i'm not like you know i wasn't
disappointed in
myself or anything like that i just i think we're two different types of people
you know when we
talked about material and stuff and i said well i treasured my material more
and for me that's because i do stories i tell stories
you know uh and so for me those things are personal and they're more
you know there's more of a personal value to them in that sense
but i think overall i think no matter what
you know i was grateful to be able to have him come in
um he's you know he is who we thought he was and we let him off the hook that's
what i feel like
you know he's exactly you know he was bill burr to a t to a t and he was
exactly who
the thing that i love about him on stage is exactly what i loved about exactly
what
he was in person and so you know i think i think some of the stuff about manning
up and sacking up and
i think that's right i think i needed to hear that it doesn't mean that i can't
still be myself or that
but it's nice to sometimes just you know sometimes you want to hear people need
to hear you sometimes
only certain ways you can hear something you know sometimes somebody will beat
you with a damn bat
but if you don't care who who's beating you you won't you won't even pay
attention
you'll just have bat marks all over your back and legs and side and you know
and elsewhere but
but every now and then somebody who you know who holds some weight in your life
will hit you with that bat
with a bat full of facts bro that fact bat and pot out get your shit together
pot out you need a man up
so i think it was sometimes tough to like kind of joke around or what or what
our vibes were i think
we're just kind of off you know again i'm more like that feel armstrong and he's
more like a little
bit more like rocket man um but i'm grateful that i'm grateful that he came in
and uh and that's
really i guess let me think is there anything else anything particularly
resonated with you made you
think differently about comedy in your career you know i think it made me think
that if i'm going to
get involved with hollywood and that sort of stuff that i need to kind of come
to some peace with it
you know i think somewhere inside of me sometimes i have a lot of
just trust issues overall in every space of my life and commitment issues in
every in every aspect
you know i don't want to be exploited i don't want someone to take advantage of
me
um so it's a lot of fear shit so uh you know i don't think there are any any
accidents i think
everything happens for a reason and um and so yeah it's like what can i take
away from that experience
uh so i think that's most of my thoughts on it um you know sometimes i wish i'd
have kind of spoken
up a little bit more but i think i just didn't really know kind of what to
expect or whatever
and so um once things kind of got just going in this just direction i was like
i felt like i was on
a um you ever when you're learning to ride a bike and you start the first time
it starts going
and you're like you're like i can't get it i can't get it and then it's going
you're like
and then you just crash right into the side of a uh colgate toothpaste blue uh
chevelle you know
and this bitch gets out and starts talking shit dude it's not even hers she's
just sitting in it
smoking so it was kind of like that you know i just things got going downhill
or going you know
down bill and i couldn't you know i just was on for the ride at a certain point
and um so yeah i think
it was in some ways it was learning experience and i don't even know what i
learned from it sometimes
but i'm sure that certain things will pop up and i was just you know i'm glad
that i got to sit down
with somebody that i really really i mean he's just so fearless you know he's
just so fearless
um and i wish i would have asked him more about like parenting a little bit uh
you know about things
you know what things that he loves about his wife i don't know i was kind of
thinking about stuff like
that um i could have asked him you know you know more about like his material
and what does it mean
when he gives it away and that sort of thing but we're also at different points
in our career
so him you know you know the world that he's living in is different than the
one that i'm living in
um but but yeah you know i think i just take from it what i can and and uh you
know and in the end
just be glad that he came and sat down with me you know i could let it kind of
hurt my ego a little
and and i don't think it did that but i think if there was some ego in me that
needed to be corrected
then you know humility is always even though it's painful sometimes it's a it's
a rabbit that i'll let
you know run around in my shirt so i'll get that little freaking bunny that'll
bust my bust my ego
up and put it in my shirt sometimes and let that bitch hop around bro and just
show my chest to it
you know how i'm doing it so
