SNL 50, Organic Food, Shorts in the Winter | Monday Morning Podcast 2-17-25 | Bill Burr

Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr, and it's time for the Monday Morning
Podcast for Monday, February 17th, 2025.
What's going on? How are ya? How's it going, man?
Anyway, I got a late call into work today, so I'm doing my podcast, and then I'm
going to get to the gym.
Oh, Billy InShape. Oh, Billy InShape, I joined a big gay gym.
I joined a big gay gym, and I'm getting in fucking shape, and, you know, every
gym is a little gay, but this one's really gay, and it depends on what hour you
go to, the level that it is.
But I'll tell you something about gay guys. They fucking, like, no one makes
you feel out of shape like a fucking gay guy. Jesus Christ.
Everybody at my gym either looks like the fucking Hulk or Baryshnikov.
That's what they are. They either look like they just got done doing the NFL
combine, or like they're, I don't know, dancing for Alvin Ailey, whatever that
dance school is.
And then you got me going in there. Well, I'm in decent shape, but Jesus Christ.
I go into that fucking gym. I look like I'm on my 600-pound life.
It's definitely a vibe in there, but, you know, it is what it is. It's New York
City. It is what it is.
So I'm going to get in there, throw the weights around. It's so funny, man. I
do like my fucking 1980s workout, and everybody else now is just, you know, so
much younger than me.
I don't even know, like, half the shit that I try to, like, look and see, like,
you know, what the new exercises are.
I try to, like, learn, but, you know, everybody at my gym seems to be ragingly
homosexual, so I'm afraid to look in their direction that they're going to get
the wrong idea.
You know, and I don't know how in 2025 to say, no, I'm not gay without it not
coming off as homophobic.
Not to say there's anything wrong with whatever you're doing in the steam room
that I can't use but still pay for.
But anyway, the gym is fucking hilarious. It's a really good gym. It's got all
this stuff there, but it's lit like a fucking W hotel, man.
It's fucking hilarious, but it is a great gym. I stand by it. I give it five
rainbows.
Anyway, plowing ahead here. Oh, what a weekend I had. What a weekend I had. All
right, Thursday night, I went out.
I did three spots. Bang, bang, boom. Fucking crushed on all three of them. You
know, my last time I went up, like, I just felt like,
they were just sort of laughing because they knew who I was, right? So that's
what happens. Once people know who you are as a comedian,
you can kind of, like, actually have a bad set but still kind of do all right
because they're just like, oh, you.
I know you. Are you trying out new jokes? Oh, you. We'll be fucking forgiving.
And it's like, you know, you got to do, like, the math, you know, and be like,
no, I'm actually bombing right now.
But they're appreciating other things. But they're appreciating other things
that I've done. But they're not appreciating this. They just don't know it.
So I couldn't get the car out of the fucking mud. I wasn't flowing. And I was
like, oh, fuck. And I didn't have time to do another set, so I just kind of had
to live with that for a few days.
So then I went up Thursday night and I was fucking psyched. And I just, I was
flowing. I was, I was old Billy Jerkface again.
Old Billy Dumb Stuff, you know, just up there talking. And I felt great. The
crowds were awesome.
And I got to work with some, uh, some comics that, you know, I've seen or haven't
seen and, uh, all of that shit. So it was a good time. Um, and then Friday
night, I went to, uh, I went to, um, the Saturday Night Live, uh, 50 years of
music, you know, all this wide variety of music and stuff that they've had over
the years.
And all these amazing performers, which of course I'm going to forget some
people. Um, I meant to look up all the fucking names so I wouldn't do this.
But anyway, um, it was just an incredible night. I'm trying to think of like, I'm
trying to put this whole weekend together.
All right. Obviously right out of the gate, the post Nirvana, which was post
Malone fronting Nirvana with all surviving members, including Pat Smear.
They absolutely fucking destroyed. And it was right in front of me. I was like,
I was like 30 feet away from it.
And, um, you know, what's funny is I, I played, uh, you know, I've played along
to smelled like team spirit and to actually just watch Dave Grohl play that
fucking song.
I was like embarrassed. I was like, Oh my God. Like I knew I sucked, but Jesus,
look at that guy. And the thing about him is if you watch his performance this
weekend and you go back 30 something years to when he first played that song on
SNL,
his energy has not dropped off at all. He hasn't lost a fucking step. Remember
that guy that played cornerback for the Redskins, Daryl Green.
He played all the way into like his forties and he was still like the fastest
guy in the NFL. It's like that still the same.
He didn't look like all like, you know, a lot of those guys. When you play like
that after a while, you know, you get shoulder problems,
you get carpal tunnel, your backs fucked up. Dude, that guy, I don't know if he
went to the day spa or what, but he just, it just, he looked the exact same
fucking killing it.
Fucking killing it. Post Malone sounded great. And then I feel like, uh, their
bass player, Crist, dude, that guy's fucking hilarious.
Like, I, I gotta, I don't know. I can't, I can't figure out. He, like, there's
so many people that pretend they don't give a fuck.
That guy just does not give a fuck in a really good way. First of all, he went
bald like a shoe salesman.
He never shaved the whole thing to try to make it look like, you know, maybe he
knows some jujitsu. He didn't.
He went bald like fucking Bob Newhart as a rock star. Doesn't give a fuck.
Gets into politics. Does all that. Comes back. Smashes that show.
Nonchalant. I guess I'll be a fucking rock star again.
Fucking kills it. The song ends and he just hands his bass to someone in the
crowd and walks off stage during the applause.
Dude, Miles Davis would be like, God damn.
Speaking of which, Miles Davis, kind of the first punk rocker.
You know, he used to turn his back to the fucking crowd and everybody was like,
what the fuck?
He's like, what do you mean, what the fuck? I'm listening to the band.
All right. You don't matter.
Right. You sit here and like what I'm doing, I'm talking to these guys.
Stop interrupting and you get to enjoy this conversation.
That was his whole fucking vibe.
As a black dude, I don't know if you noticed, he was a black dude his whole
life.
I don't know why I needed to make that point, but he was doing it in front of
like that, that those older white generations that expected you to be like as a
black performer to feel just, you know, thrilled to death that you got to
perform in front of a bunch of white people.
He's like, no, fuck you.
You should be thrilled.
I'm the one doing the fucking show, you asshole.
Reason number 9,776 to fucking love Miles Davis.
Anyway, who else?
Bonnie Raitt.
She's just a real deal.
She fucking killed.
On my stage was the post-Nirvana thing, Mumford and Son.
You can't tell me that lead singer of Mumford and Son and Tim Tebow are not
related.
Okay.
Not to start that shit again.
Um, uh, what else?
Uh, Devo was on that stage.
Um, dude, Cher came out and fucking murdered it.
Wearing the same fucking outfit she wore way back in the day and still looking
great.
And she went on like second to last in front of Jack White, who had the, uh,
you know, that's one of those things like you don't headline that show.
You just go on last one of those things.
And it's just a thankless fucking job that you have to go on after all of that
incredible, like people just crushing it.
And, um, what was I going to say?
And he went out and just fucking destroyed, did the Neil Young rocking in a
free world, free world.
And then played, which is the first time I've ever seen him play it live, even
though I've heard it 50 million times at every sporting event I went to.
Um, Bad Bunny I saw, who I loved, who for some reason I thought was a DJ.
I had no, I'm fucking old.
Miley Cyrus killed it.
The whole, I know I'm forgetting people.
The whole fucking, um, the whole show.
They just murdered.
Oh, speaking of which, I had to give somebody a shout out.
You know, I, I mentioned that I went to, um, I went to Paul McCartney.
Josh Adam Myers got me the tickets, but he got them from, um, from Zach Myers
from a band called Shinedown.
So, thank you to Zach.
Um, whether you know it or not, you got me tickets to a concert that I will
never forget.
Um, this is like, oh, Billy, make a wish.
This, like, this has been, like, my week.
Um, just seeing all of these incredible, incredible performers.
So, that was Friday night, and that was in Radio City Music Hall, which I had
never been in.
And, um, it was, you know, gorgeous.
I had never been in this absolute, like, Art Deco style, which is one of my
favorites.
Um, Art Deco and Brutalist architecture.
For some reason, I somehow got into that, um, hardcore into Brutalist
architecture.
I don't know why.
I just, uh, it's like unsettling.
It's, it's, um, you know, sometimes it's like super, just super fucking ugly.
Like, like, Government Center is a good example of Brutalist architecture, and
I hate that fucking building.
Where I went to school, UMass Boston is Brutalist.
Um, but then there's other things, like, when done right, it's, um, it's
incredible.
Um, well, Jesus, Bill, you just, I just described everything.
I'll tell you people, cooking, when done right, is unbelievable.
But if you go somewhere and they don't know how to cook, it's kind of bad.
You guys keeping up?
Am I, am I going too fast for you?
So anyway, uh, and then last night, I went to the, um, the SNL 50 years
celebration.
And I got to sit in the crowd, and I had no pressure.
And I just got to watch all of these people that I was such a huge, huge fan of.
And as far as, like, my, like, sort of comedy undergrad and college degree, it
started with Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo and all of those guys.
It went into the Dennis Miller, you know, John Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon,
all of those guys.
Um, Jan Hooks, all of them into, uh, the Sandler one, you know, with Chris,
David Spade, Chris Farley, Chris Rock.
Uh, and then by then I was doing, like, stand-up.
And, you know, so I missed a lot of the Will Ferrell stuff, but I would always
just hear about it.
And I would do my best, but I was just always working when, um, when they were
on.
So I got to see a lot of people that I couldn't, like, I was watching Eddie
Murphy doing a sketch.
I couldn't believe it.
Um, oh, by the way, Tracy Morgan singing, singing Astronaut Jones was one of my
favorite parts of the, the, the, the music one.
And then there was this woman that came out.
Oh, God, I'm going to forget her name.
I don't even know what style of music.
She had the biggest fucking voice just filling up.
I've been meaning to look up her name again and to, to, to download her shit.
Whatever, I'm old.
Um, anyway.
Um, so I went there last night and it's literally like Paul Simon opens.
Um, and he was on the first episode ever.
It's Paul Simon.
And then Steve Martin does the monologue.
I know you guys probably saw this, um, Sandler, who just has a fucking heart of
gold, sang this incredible song in the middle, got a standing ovation.
Uh, I got to see Eddie Murphy do a sketch with Will Ferrell.
Um, oh, God, I'm going to forget.
Dude, Meryl Streep crushed.
I had no idea she was that funny.
She was fucking hilarious with Kate McKinnon.
They were killing it.
The whole thing.
And then it ends in, uh, Little Wayne killed with The Roots.
And then it closes out with Paul McCartney, who, what he played on that show
was the, what he played for the encore the night I, I saw him.
And, um, oh, you know, what was funny was I was sitting in the crowd, you know,
and, uh, I got to sit next to Eddie Vedder, who got to be one of the nicest,
sweetest human beings I've ever met
