Becoming Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney | Thursday Afternoon Monday Morning Podcast 2-13-25 |Bill Burr

hey what's going on it's bill burr and it's time for the thursday afternoon
just before friday
monday morning podcast and i'm just checking in checking in on you oh um jesus
christ what a
fucking week i'm having jesus christ um dude i had the fucking hiccups for like
two days
and i'm not saying they won't happen right now all right so get ready how's
that for a teaser
oh my god am i gonna hear some hiccups have i tuned into the fucking perfect
podcast or what
um evidently you can't have uh a couple cups of coffee and then balsamic vinaigrette
two days in
a row it's too i didn't know balsamic vinaigrette was acidic um and like i i
didn't i didn't even know
what the fuck was going on and they just wouldn't stop to the point i was at
rehearsal doing my shit
with the hiccups i did interviews with the hiccups to promote my shit that i
was doing with the hiccups
i was waking up in the middle of the night with the hiccups i feel like i'm
gonna get the hiccups
so i have to drink some fucking water
to try to keep this shit down i had to go to the doctor the whole fucking thing
and i started
thinking about i remember like when i was a kid oh when i was just a lad one of
um one of the most
amazing books when i was a kid
was the guinness book of world records and he'd always look for the fattest guy
you know then they had the fat twins on the uh the mini bikes
the tallest man and all of that the longest fingernails all this stupid shit
and then one of them
was the world record for the the longest hiccups and this poor bastard had hiccups
like he got him and
then just had him for the rest of his life like decades this fucking guy had
hiccups
and had the intestinal fortitude to not kill himself like i don't know it's at
what point
at what point your diaphragm is fucking feeling like you know your organs are
doing sit-ups
right you definitely got a nickname
you know you know billy jumpstart
be something
um
so i finally went to the doctor
something german irish people do not do um but i was being smart and i went
there
and the lady told me what was up
and got me some over-the-counter shit that i'm supposed to take for like a week
and evidently
i'll be all right so just laying off the coffee the balsamic vinaigrette uh no
pasta
you know red sauce basically right that's acidic tomatoes
eat some fucking root vegetables and see what the hell happened but um the last
time i had heartburn
one like this was um me and verzi were doing a gig in new orleans and we had
the gig on friday at the casino
on saturday we went to the lsu alabama game
um in death valley then we hung around sunday and then on monday we went to
monday night
the new orleans saints versus the philadelphia eagles
your super bowl champion philadelphia eagles
who should have fucking won two of the last three
think about that they should have won two of the last three that fucking hand
on the small of
that fucking dude's back and they called that holding and put the the fucking
chiefs i swear to god
if i was the chiefs you know even though they they they didn't give many calls
the other day
because they actually said all right you have to win this football game
legitimately they should have
sent them a thank you letter for all the calls they got the last few years and
they should have had
that bet midler song underneath it you are the wind beneath my wings
and just show a highlight of throwing or picking up flags in these crucial
moments
did you ever know that you're my hero
by the way i stand by travis kelsey's outfit
i stand by that a hundred fucking percent
a hundred percent i stand by that fucking outfit
uh that outfit was the shit and i'm and i think it's stupid that they do this
whole fashion thing or whatever
but you know
if i mean
that outfit just said cocaine
i mean you know
i like when people steer into it
rather than go away
don't don't fucking show up trying to be wholesome
show me how filthy the world is
all right
show me how there's two sets if not three sets of rules out there
show me how i don't know fucking
come up there like you're gonna do the lawrence welk show huh
nice reference there 50 years old
um
all right i had one of the most incredible fucking weeks
i don't know where to start
um as far as just like going out and seeing shit
i went out and i saw that becoming led zeppelin movie
where if you're a john bonham fanatic
like i am
um
there's very very very very little
there's like one black and white video
that has him talking
i think it's him and robert plant early in their career
and he just didn't want to do it
um
you know the press used to rip him to shreds and everything
so i think he was just like
i don't give a fuck fuck these guys right
i don't need them we're selling out arenas
you know
that's it right
so um
there's a bunch of new stuff in there
because they found some
interview that he did
just the audio of it
and i'm telling you
just to hear his voice
just to hear him talking
to hear him laughing
to know what his laugh sounds like
um
and there's there's a laugh at like
on the second side
of the physical graffiti album
and now after all these years
i always wondered who it was
and i'm like oh my god that's bonhams laugh
and they have pictures of him when he was a kid
um
you know
he was kind of like a fat kid when he was growing up
so it kind of made sense
you know
when he got older
that he kind of was going in that direction again
now had people known about
addiction and alcoholism and all of that
they could have had like an intervention
people just didn't know how to help people
um they could have got to the root of the problem
that you know
he was a great dad
and he missed his family
and he'd get sad
and he would drink
like that's basically what it was
and as far as what
look at
obviously i don't know the real answer
but like i feel like that's what happened
on that night
when he um
what did they say
you know
death by misadventure
when he drank too much
got sick in his sleep
and asphyxiated
i just think the
thought of going back out on the road again
and being away from his family
because there's pictures there
um
and a couple little video things of him
with his son
and uh
i don't know
i could always tell like a good dad
because
you know
the kids are really physical with them
like crawling all over them
and they're like
sort of like fake wrestling with them
and stuff like that
um
to me that's always
that shows me
that the dad is involved
that um
you know
the kids crawling all over you
and stuff like that
that means
you're doing the dad thing
you're getting down on the floor with them
you know what i mean
you're recreating wrestlemania
you're coming up with
you know
chasing them around
and all of that stuff
so it was really
really cool to see that
part of them
and then also to hear
these guys talking about
um
is playing
in some of the footage
and stuff
it's uh
it's really fucking cool
um
anyway
so i saw that
tuesday night
and then last night
um
out of nowhere
my buddy
uh
josh adam meyers
goes dude
paul mccartney
is playing
the bowery ballroom
it's like a 600 seater
do you want to go
and i'd never seen him
and i'm like
it's a beetle
i gotta fucking go
so we end up going down there
and
it was sort of a last second show
and you couldn't
get tickets online
you had to go down there
and physically buy them
and i don't think a lot of people
heard about it
or whatever
but like
it was like
it was full
but it wasn't like
jammed
maybe they listened to the fire code
so we were standing
on the floor
down below
but it wasn't like
suffocating
you know
and
he comes out
with this killer band
you know
finally got to see
abe on drums
who's just a killer
fucking drummer
having so much fun
um
and uh
they came out
it's paul mccartney
and i'm standing
like
i couldn't have been more than
you know
40 50 feet away from him
you know
like if it was like
a regular giant arena
i would have been like
10th row
it was crazy
and
he just comes out
and just
boom
goes right in
can't buy me love
and it was just like
oh my god
oh my god
he's singing a beetle
a beetle is singing a beetle song
to me
50 feet away from me
and
every song sounded great
like even the stuff
i wasn't familiar with
his newer stuff
or whatever
um
he played
let's see
okay let's go through
the beetle stuff
he played
can't buy me love
um
baby you can drop my cup
people went fucking nuts
and there's all these
young people there
and they were like
jumping up and down
and stuff
like going crazy
it was incredible
um
he played blackbird
um
oh my god
i'm going blank
let it be
hey jude
um
and then he came out
he played that whole medley
um
like boy
you're gonna carry that weight
and then
are you gonna be in my dreams
tonight
and then abe played the drum solo
they went into that
and then closed
with the final part
and in the end
and then he played some like
paul mccartney
in wings
um
um
i got to get you into my life
it was unbelievable
and he sounded incredible
he sounded incredible
and then
beyond that
he was hilarious
in between songs
like
just going back and forth
with the crowd
um
really really really funny
but um
i am so
like thankful
that i got to see him
and then also
just as somebody
you know
who goes on stage too
to see a guy
82 years old
with that amount of energy
still killing it
that hard
and having that much fun
is uh
it's just a great thing to see
you know what i mean
you don't want to go there
and fucking
see somebody up there
because they got
fucking tax problems
and shit
and just you know
i don't know
like we've all been
to those shows
where you go to
like
i always said that
some
you go to see
an older entertainer
one of two things
is going to happen
you're really going to be
thinking about
your own mortality
some of them
make you think
about dying
and the others
make you know
a very rare few
make you feel
about going out
and living
and Paul McCartney
thank god
made me want to go out
and live
uh oh
here come the hiccups
ah fuck
here we go
it's starting
i was hoping
i could get through
this whole thing
but you know what
they're not as bad
as they were
so i don't think
i'm going to be
setting any sort
of guinness book
world record thing
anymore
so anyway
yeah
um
oh
and then like
you know
up on the
uh
the balcony
there was all
these famous
people that
that had come
in
to go check
them out
and you know
musicians
and
and um
comedians
saw an nfl
owner up there
i don't want to
fucking rat
anybody
i don't like
saying names
or whatever
but like
um
actors
actresses
or whatever
i still don't
understand why
you can't say
actress
like why
is actress
offensive
you know
what i mean
you're one
of the
you're a
fucking
incredible
actress
the fuck
did you
say
you know
i don't
there's a
couple i never
understood that
actress is
offensive
stewardess
is offensive
and then they
come with
flight attendant
stewardess
sounds like
more like
mysterious
like i don't
know what
like
flight attendant
they're just
saying what
you're doing
you're attending
the flight
we know what
you're doing
why are you
so ashamed
of it
um
little people
is that
better
i get
not wanting
to be called
a midget
once they
said what
it was
and where
it came
from
it's like
i get
that
they couldn't
come up
with something
better than
little people
see if i
can i don't
know off the
top of my
head i
probably can't
do better
little people
second string
no that's
still insulting
i don't know
man
maybe that's
tough
um
anyway
i would
well listen
if they were
the ones who
actually came
up with it
you know
they had
like a
meeting
you know
what i mean
they had a
little meeting
sorry it's
just easy
jokes
anyway
plowing ahead
um
so i i got
to see those
two things
and then i
saw highlights
of the super
bowl
jesus christ
that was a
mugging
um
anyway
uh
at some
point i'm
gonna watch
that i'm
sure the
nfl network
is gonna
have it on
or i'll be
able to
watch it
someone's
gonna you
know it's
gonna be
great
somebody's
gonna post
it without
the fucking
commercials
which will
be fantastic
and um
i don't know
you know it's
a bad super
