the Monday Morning Podcast 11-13-17

hey what's going on it's bill burr and it's time for the monday morning podcast
for monday
november 13th 2017 what's going on how are ya what's going on i am in new york
city
oh that's actually hollywood what the fuck am i thinking it's not a new york
song right
that's hollywood right that's a new york song start spreading the news
all right i don't know i'm all over the map here um i'm winding down this trip
i just wrapped up my
acting gig on front runner uh i want to thank everybody that that allowed me to
be on that
movie i had such a great time i met so many great people on that shoot and uh
the last night of the
shoot i actually got to do a scene with the star of the movie hugh jackman and
um i can't even tell
you how great that experience was he he might he might be the not one of the
nicest guys i've ever
met in my life uh totally cool big guy too he's like six four or something big
guy totally cool
nicest fucking dude ever then you start doing the scene right and if his
character in the scene was
getting was getting mad and like frustrated with us dude and he went into that
wolverine thing a little
bit i was just like jesus christ i would not fuck with this guy
just an amazing amazing actor and uh it was the coolest thing like on the last
night um
we had like two things to shoot like one quick thing in a car and then the
whole rest of the thing
was uh us you know like me and two other actresses and hugh jackman and it was
just like it was uh yeah
we shot that the whole night it was one of those things where you like i i
wouldn't really care if
we continued shooting this scene tomorrow i'm having so much fun you know i
found out i actually i like to
run when i act this scene involved me running into running before i i delivered
the uh my lines or
whatever and i found that i really liked that and i was just like wow no wonder
i always like william
shatner and tj hooker i know i've talked about this before but if you ever
watch tj hooker
i don't think in the history of television they ever they ever made an actor
run farther than
they made william shatner who was well into his 50s by then they would just
have like this the master
shot of the scene and i don't get all hollywood here on you but the master is
just when you go to
shoot the scene is you're just it's a wide shot and you're capturing every
character in it or you're
establishing the place i you know the setting i have no i think that's what it
is right they would just
they would just be standing on the other side of a wharf a runway like william
shatner he chased after
planes and they would just start and he would come running around the corner
and he would always be
like like 70 yards away and they'd be playing this music with the bongos in the
background and you
would watch him just full speed running a man in his 50s all right and this is
like the 80s so no guys
stretched unless you were on like you know you had to be like in the olympics
and even then if you watch
like the old nfl films the way that they would stretch you know what i mean
they weren't doing
like any just sort of you know doing a forward bend none of that yoga it was
like touch
your toes touch your hips touch your shoulders do a jumping jack come back down
or whatever the
they would do two three four that type of stuff um running in cop shoes full
speed for a good 80 yards
there's actually a great youtube video that i think i posted before of william
of tj hooker running
um so anyways i had the uh i had the best time and uh did the perfect amount of
time on the
movie because right when it ended i came right here to new york and then i'm
gonna go back in
the rest of my year other than like two road gigs i am done and i'm gonna get
to spend this ridiculous
amount of quality time with my wife and daughter and i can't wait i'm totally
getting into the christmas
uh spirit this year not to the point of sacrificing thanksgiving um you know i
might even put up a
couple of little like cut out turkeys in my house i hate how thanksgiving just
gets passed over you know
what i mean gets passed over like a uh i don't know like a person that should
have got the job but didn't
right uh but i'm totally getting into it and i am i'm still sober who's it it
was 84 days on thursday
so 85 86 87 88 eric lindros 88 lynn swan right wasn't he 88 yeah um 88 days not
boozing
and uh i think i'm gonna go for the 100. i don't know you know i think i'll be
let's see i'll be 91
on thursday a week from thursday it'll be 98 and then it'll be thanksgiving and
what i'm not gonna
have a little brandy in my eggnog there i'm big with the brandy and the eggnog
you know um that's
what i would have added to the great opie and anthony bit the eggnog opie anthony
and little jimmy
right do you think those guys will ever get back together do like a reunion
tour
they should have like a one-off you know like a tour you like the police got
back together
they should do that with great radio shows where everybody eventually you know
just got sick of each
other and went the other way but the fans are still sitting there like come on
man just do one
more tour man they should all get together you know i think it'll have guns and
roses can get back
together right um i don't know anyways plowing ahead here i'm totally gonna get
into the holidays
uh and i don't know i don't know about the drinking thing i think i'm done for
a while
like i said i want to go sting in my 50s i'm turning 50 in june and um i want
to make sure uh
i don't know that's a critical decade right that's that one i mean you know
people like
fucking die in their 50s so i gotta you just that's when people just start
dying i mean people i've got
i've already lost like i've lost count how many fucking friends i actually i
have a list on my
phone so i don't forget all the comics that i've known that have died um by the
way all men
all men out of the 25 they're all men so all these women out there like you don't
understand
how difficult it is to be a woman it's like lady i got 25 dead friends they're
all guys
okay i don't know what the is going on with us but whatever you guys are there's
something that
you guys something in your life is easier i know in this age of feminism where
it just has to be
everything is so fucking much harder for a woman there is one easy thing one
easier thing for a
woman and it really is the most important thing and that is staying alive
all right where the fuck is my phone
i got them all like i got and i'm i'm probably gonna forget a few people
all right let's see here these are all the people that i knew that are gone
here all right
it all started with mitch headberg in like march i think of 2005. mitch headberg
freddie soto mitch
malaney robert schimmel bernie mack dave fitzgerald kevin knox bob side bell
bob lazareth rich seissler
auto from auto and george greg giraldo patrice o'neal todd lynn sam brown charlie
murphy scott
kennedy john prunett richard jenny mike d stefano ralphie may and pete cummin
those are all the people that i knew really well or worked with as a comedian
that have all died
since 2005 except for dave fitzgerald he died earlier he died in like 2001. he
was a boston comic
and i probably forgot a few people
you know club owners manny doorman lucian holt and then i have like let's see
high school kids that i
went to school with one two three four five six seven eight all guys
unbelievable you just don't understand sometimes what it's like to be
i know i absolutely i'm sure it's uh much more difficult in a lot of ways but i'll
tell you the
most important way staying alive let's not forget that um anyways uh so i did
the uh the new west side
comedy club and it was i i just the perfect layout and i also love to it's
right around the corner from
the uh the beacon theater so uh i've gotten to play there a couple of times but
what i also love is if
i was a young comedian starting out it's really like this motivational thing
where you walk out and
then you walk around the corner and there's the beacon theater and you can kind
of be thinking you
know someday maybe i'll be able to play that place that's the type of that used
to get me um
used to get me motivated when i was starting out although i don't know about
playing theaters
i think it was just seeing caroline's comedy club because when i was starting
out like nobody played
theaters it was like cosby played theaters george carlin like you had to be
like a legend
um joan rivers um those people played like theaters and um you know for most
comedians when i started
i think it was um the dream was to just sell out clubs the dream was to sell
out clubs and to
get a sitcom built around your act uh that was the dream and then somewhere
along the line it switched
and a lot of people talk about you know social media and blah blah and all that
i think the biggest thing
that is created one of the big things that people forget as far as like how
all of these comedians are big enough of a draw to play theaters i think one of
the best things that
happened for comedians that nobody brings up is napster an online file sharing
air quote sharing of music
which was really stealing music that completely destroyed the music business
and their ability
to make stars um you remember virgin records remember you would go in there and
they had that
little cd listening thing and they had like the top 10 of the top 20 cds and
they'd always be like a new
band in there it's like they were feeding you know bringing new people in and
once napster came out
and then there was the lime wire and all of that and then itunes and all of
that what happened was
um oh am i going to use this term there was an arrested development of new like
when you look at
like the amount of bands that broke through in like the last 10 years that were
suddenly able to sell out
arenas it's like a handful of bands or people like lady gaga bruno mars was at
21 pilots there's very few
that got that big um at least not as much as uh as they used to i feel i might
be completely wrong on
this but if i'm if i'm not mistaken there was like like the mtv music award had
like the five the same five
artists for a long time were with a few new ones but like like jay-z kanye and
like i don't know i'm
not so good with all the youngest people stuff but they stuck around forever at
those music awards
because there was not these new people coming in um usually for somebody to
stick around in a music
award for over 10 years i feel like there was only a couple of bands that could
do it but they had to
keep those people from 10 years previous because they all got knocked out and
then i'm going to get
to a point here so everything became a quick little i don't want to pay for it
online and i think and
everybody went online either wanted to uh watch someone do something incredible
on a skateboard
some x game or you wanted to watch people fail and you wanted to laugh and i
feel like stand-up comedy
fit into that set up punch set up punch it was quick they made you laugh you
moved on
and then i think comedians slid into all of these theater gigs that were all of
these
bands would have been playing i'm not talking arenas i just mean like like
theaters i might be wrong on
that one but i think um if you look at the graph as the music business imploded
comedy went through the
fucking roof then also with technology how comic comics could just keep putting
out these specials
and then netflix was another big thing but everybody talks about that but
nobody seems
i don't know i think the music business um completely imploding also helped out
stand up it created a void
um i don't know you like that you like me discussing the the ins and outs
of ticket sales and stand-up comedy so anyway so i was working at the uh west
side comedy club you
got to go there some old friends of mine opened the place up that's why i did
it i had the best
time and what was really cool was mostly you know podcast listeners so i could
say whatever the
