As an Irishman myself, I'm so glad to see bill recognise our very own Tommy! He's one of the best irish comedians we have. To see my fav American comedian talk to my favourite Irish is just great!
Very rarely I've seen Bill this outgoing and easy going in a pod. Look at the Theo Von ep for bad chemistry, but these guys got on like a house on fire.
I feel like Tommy's too much of a romanticist for Bill to be putting up with on a regular basis 🤣🤣🤣 There's only so much listening to the supernatural/spiritual qualities of nature that someone as matter of fact as Bill is could be dealing with on a monthly schedule. LMAO
haha beautiful comment - if you're a paddy and you've found yourself drinking in Bondi asking yourself "where the fuck are all the Aussies?" then you know
as an irishman, i dont understand how tommy can retell the Flight of the Earls so inaccurately haha. it had nothing to do with poets; it was the last gaelic lords of ireland, attempting to sail to spain in order to recruit an army and take back ireland from the english, with the help of the spanish. they just never ended up coming back, and the old gaelic order was finished. tommy saying the irish arent good architects when an irish architect designed the White House is also crazy
The best stories always have a bit of 'flair'... embellishments. That's what takes a good story from a person just telling it to someone being a seanchaí, a poet, an artist...an irish drunk even! And let's face it, that was effectively Tommy's point , so facts be damned. Hes keeping the beautiful creativity of our culture alive😅
As an Englishman who grew up on the great Billy Connolly and then other stand ups and groups like The Goon Show, Tommy Cooper, Around The Horne, Steptoe and Son, and eventually Eddie Izzard and Bill Bailey, amongst so many others, Tommy Tiernan has always been my fave living comedian after Billy Connolly. He used to present the Stand Up show on late night BBC, and I would wait desperately for it. His specials are something else and I love whatever else I can find of him. To see him with my favourite American comic (in fact the only one who is genuinely great at this time, though Louis CK and Theo Von have a shout), I cannot express how delighted I am to see them both together. Tommy is one of Ireland's many great gifts to the world, and a constant reminder to me of the beauty of a culture that i am so ashamed our country did their best to erase. My Dad and i promote him to everyone we know, and he has a grwat many fans in england as far as I am aware. I hope he gets the many deserved fans he should in the USA
@ansionnachbeagrioga5260He got cancelled. After that he started doing massive tours in Ireland, playing really remote places as opposed his legendary runs in vicar street.
@ansionnachbeagrioga5260wouldn’t say he didn’t have the energy most of his performances you’d swear he was on cocaine he was that jumpy and lively but Tommy is what I term a localized comedian, most of his greatest sets are full of jokes most in the U.S wouldn’t get but the Irish and English would. Perfect example of this was one of his most famous sets in Ireland was then used in the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival where things were changed in some of the jokes and some left out entirely as it just wouldn’t land over there. It was still funny and he was well received but it was only half as funny as Tommy’s original unleashed set which is what made him a legend over here. In essence a lot of his jokes worked in the U.S but a lot of his best ones didn’t which made him a very good comedian over there but not the legend that he was here, maybe he wasn’t daring enough in the U.S who knows but lack of energy definitely wasn’t it in his prime at least 😅
jesus, i thought this is the worst i’ve ever seen TT, and he can be bad, but this is worse. Poor Bill Burr trying to keep this interview going and keep some humour in it
This hour is a rare gem, one of the most insightful, profound and still hilarious episode from Bill Burr and Tommy Tiernan. They have amazing chemistry.
Have to give it to bill burr he seems to mix in with everyone he had great convo with josh homme(qotsa) and some really good laughs in entertaining podcast
The irish are the best storytellers and talkers. Even if you're not mad on Tommy as a comedian, he does a show where he has guests, and he doesn't know who they are until they come out on stage. His ability to have a great conversation is amazing. Love Bill, great podcast. 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
@@shaun3211 whos hating on Canada 😂 I was just making a joke because Bill been doing his podcast even before Rogan and just recently starting adding some video
@@PoliticklesME All good. Joke as well. It wasn't a "podcast" it was a show that he did in his living room with 400 cables running everywhere. I feel that, that idea for the podcast kind of stemmed from that. Joe Rogan was one of his first guest
Bill literally booking the plane ticket in his head at 58:47. Great Interview. Listening to this guy made me actually want to start watching halfway through.
Just the irish way if truth be known Ireland has many levels just can't let the entire multi verse know it all, irish talk for hours and still let u know nothing that's called Eire art 🤫
@@darrenryan1161 I agree. Irish myself from just next to Tommy's home town up in the north of the island. It can make that American style seem a bit cringier even than usual.
TT is trying to portray this mystical celtic. safe, stuttering and stopping and not finishing sentences. Not funny AT ALL, so then he resorts to his classic fall-back, talk about SEX and his volcanic level ejaculation Poor Bill really struggled to keep this interview moving along, could listen to him all day. TT is what we call here in Ireland, a “DOSE”
To anyone studying how to interview someone, watch this. This is Bill's podcast and Tommy is so naturally interested in Bill and genuinely interested in him, he ends up interviewing him. It's natural, it's free flowing and they both are present, however, make no mistake about it... Tommy is in control here.
We weren't actually considered 'white' in the past.. We understand minorities, because we were minorities. In spite of some of them passing as white and then treating other minorities lIke they'd been treated. But hey- people are the same everywhere, so you gotta accept that there's the same percentage of assholes in every population...
Bill has a tremendous taste in comedy, he understands there is great talent outside of the US unlike alot of his American peers who think comedy only existed in the US
Tommy Tiernan really is a national treasure for us Irish, not only is his stand-up fantastic but he is an absolute gifted, marvellous orator and storyteller. I was lucky enough to see him live at a festival in Waterford over the summer, it was in the middle of the afternoon, the sun was shining and everyone was sitting on the grass around the stage while he spoke. Not only did we laugh but when he was telling a story you could hear a pin drop, and you found yourself leaning forward as he drew you in. How lucky we are as a country to have a talent like him.
Ive made this drink from rain and tears...and potato's, lets fkin drink it and see what happens. 😂 Never thought I'd see Bill and Tommy together, this needs to happen more.
What he said about the Flight of the Earls was completely wrong. In 1601, the British finally defeated the Gaelic kings of Ireland (there were many and they each ruled small parts of the country). Hugh O'Neill, who was the Earl of Tyrone (one of the most powerful remaining Gaelic families) left Ireland with his family aiming for Catholic Spain rather than living under British rule. It was significant because it marked the end of Gaelic run in Ireland. It had nothing to do with poets or artists.
@@philipdavid1053aye exactly, noticed that too. Was a very good conversation and Tommy’s obviously a curios person willing to follow many threads but his knowledge of the history was clearly lacking. I dunno to what extent it’s a kind of self(or sub)conscious effort to embody or describe an over-romantic Irish poeticism about our nature as a people
@@damien7784 Ye, my view of it was that he brought up a subject that he really wasn't familiar with at all and instead of admitting it, he tried to bluff his way out of it. He surely knew himself that what he was saying was nonsense.
I've been looking forward to this since you mentioned it on the podcast 😊 I saw him at the Edinburough fringe and i was sat on the front step of the theatre smoking after the show berating a bunch of folk that had left early for the bar saying guys you missed Tommy he was excelent tonight and just then he walked down the steps next to me gave me a huge smile and a thumbs up and walked off down the street on his own. Just another day for him.
That was epic that show.. tiernan did a joke about different accents and came in with the Indian guy (Delhi) right at the closing of the gag.. tommy was bawling crying with laughter he just about finished it in tears smiling so good
Seeing Tommy Tiernan at a small bar in Cork, I literally came out saying this was the closest to Billy Connelly there is. Despite being well known in Ireland, Tommy is world class.
Love the podcast! But just want to point out: The flight of the earls was after a 9 year long war against the English, when the Irish Earls (or Lords) Hugh O'Neill and Red Hugh O'Donnell, rebelled against the crown. These were men who had paid lip service to the English monarchy, but were secretly gathering men and material to kick the English out. Initially they had successes, and even convinced the Spanish to send an army to assist. But the Spanish army arrived in the wrong place, and the English managed to destroy them, followed by the Irish relief army that had been sent to link up. Later, when their last strongholds were under threat, the earls decided to flee Ireland to the continent, in an attempt to raise another army to free Ireland. Unfortunately, this never came to pass, with Hugh O'Neill eventually dying in Rome, and with him, the possibility of another army being raised.
Jesus I've never smoked a cigar in my life and I don't like whiskey. But fuck me, I'm away to find some good cigars , a bottle of whiskey and heading for the shed 😂😂😂
@@disraelite1 Ah yeah cause nobody's accent changes where they now reside. Not like as a dubliner for decades my accent changed to fit where I live in connacht. Also if you're gonna be pedantic, he was born in Donegal. He's a donegal man 🤓
I was not expecting this at all and as an Irish man i thought that burr and Tommy lived in different universes who never crossed paths. For me the third person what I love about this pod cast, it doesn’t feel like an interview, but two guys sitting in pub having a chat, I know it not everyone’s cup of tea, know some people love “what you think of this”, but maybe it’s just me being 40 now and loving soft chat ,what that does not need a punch line every 20seconds but rather two people shooting the shit
Incorrect. Burr is Anglo-Saxon. Burr under your saddle? If you were a grown-up that had experienced life and mown a yard you would know exactly what a burr is, n'est pas??? Bien sur. Tu compris? Always some gobshite nattering away without a clue. Get tae feck. Cor blimey.
Tommy can't give up his interviewing even when he is the guest. He is a great interviewer and asks insightful questions and has no issue following a thread that was not on the "list" in order to explore an idea or thought or theory. He is doing exactly the same here and it is great
The Irish love the French. The French came to Ireland and fought the English with us. Go to Castlebar in country Mayo and you'll see French flags hanging from every window in the streets that the Irish and French defeated the English.
True. I used to play in the Humbert pub. Named after General Humbert The French landed in Kilalla and marched on Castlebar. Every year the French and the Irish do a big re-enactment. It's savage auld craic altogether!
I went to Bill Burr play in Dublin in June 2018. Great show. When he talked about 9/11 and the crowd would go Woo. Bill was taken aback. But think he was amazed by the reaction and loved it.
'Oh man that'd be great, come down to the shed with me. From Raúl's personal stash!' What a line. I kinda forgot those two might have known each other from back in the day. That was a great hour of entertainment that I didn't want to end.
Oh wow. I love Bill he’s my favourite comedian I’m Irish and I honestly didn’t know that Tommy was famous in America. It’s great to see two of my favourite comedians on one podcast.
Tommy had a show at home where he interviewed people. He would not know who he was interviewing until they sat down in front of him live. It's in him, he's hugely inquisitive, it's just natural to him
HAS a tv show, it still exists, it was last shown in April! Lots of videos on Tommy's youtube channel with various gust interviews. My favorite are when he has no idea who the person is!
The Flight of the Earls took place in September 1607, when Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Rory O'Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell, and about ninety followers, left Ulster in Ireland for mainland Europe. Their permanent exile was a watershed event in Irish history, symbolizing the end of the old Gaelic order. The O`Donnell clan survives to this day in Spain and have served in the Spanish military . Tommy should know this.
Yep, this was after O'Neill prosecuted and led the Nine Years War (1593-1603), the closest the Irish ever got to expelling the English Crown from Ireland. So far. To be continued. Watch this space.
Tommy didn't know, and so went off on some mad 'poets' riff. As is his wont. Bill, strangely, was almost right. These Gaelic aristocracy chaps got their Earl titles from the English queen. But they were kind of forced to do so - surrender and regrant the English called it. Ultimately, they fucked up militarily at the Battle of Kinsale, did a runner to protect their own hides, and left ordinary Gaels like my people in the lurch when their pleas with foreign euro courts came to nothing. Not so poetic really.
Why should he? He pointed it out... He's not a professor of history... He did better than most, let others go and learn the history now, Tommy at the least was a catalyst. Next you'll be saying he should know all about the Flight of the Concords because he's a comedian...
20:22 - the windscreen on that microphone saw its opportunity and went for it. Managed to completely evade Bill's attention too. That's the cleanest Irish Goodbye I've ever witnessed.
Bill; you and Tommy should do a regular podcast. The forward and back, having have one side with their view, and Tommy making a clarification of your thoughts would be just great,.
Two very contrasting people. Bill Burr a comic genius and Tommy Tiernan a complete gobshite who somehow thinks he has a deep knowledge of the human condition. He's from Meath and pretends he's West of Ireland which he ain't by a long way. Just like that other tool Hector.
Laying here, you two start talking. Right away i got this "gut feeling". There are moments where one of you said something a certain way, & i said to myself "okay let's see how this gets handled". They are little things, but i have seen heated arguments being triggered by the same things with other couples, ,,,, put it this way, you two danced with each other through the whole conversation. I NEVER SEEN/HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I am 57 yrs old, & "by choice" i have been single,,,, no, solo for over 20 year (i don't allow anyone to get close mentally, emotionally, physically, ETC.). One day i just said to myself "never again". All these years i have been holding on to this picture in my head of what a relationship is, how relationships always are. Two, three minutes before i started typing this comment, i started taking down all those pictures in my head. Down off the walls i built to hang them on. Listening to this one conversation between you two. My god if only the rest of the world can just do that there would be no need to even have words like "war". I never listened to you two have a conversation, & now i want to, i need to. Yea, i need to. I have to.
@@toomylight2311 There isn't enough for me to understand what your saying in your reply. Forgive me if i don't answer. I never even heard the term "piss take". have no idea what it is
Americans think that because their comedy is the most commercially know, that it's better or , that they're the only ones doing it. Latin America, the UK, Europe and others have comedians that make ours look elementary. Really enjoyed this guest.
Outside of British comedy, Americans probably don’t know comedians from other countries. Your comment that Americans think that they are the only ones doing comedy it is a stretch.
Bill and Tommy who I have listened to for 20 years. Then here they are together. A mistical gift for us mortals. This podcast was singularly the most interesting intense podcast I have ever listened to. And they were creatively buzzing. Tommy you must have Bill back to your shed emporium for Castro cigars. Bill get your ass over to misty Ireland.
I've Loved you both for years. This one made my heart swell with pride and appreciation for comedy. Laughed from the soul several times. Thank you Gentlemen for the genuine conversation and entertainment ❤
Two of my favourite comedians seen Tommy last Year in Vicar Street Dublin Amazing nite nothing is held back the way it should be so funny start to finish 😂brilliant 👏 forget the critics we love it . I've watched Bill last couple of years on Social media absolutely hilarious even have the missus hooked everytime we have argument i take the knee 🤣 Best advice ever staying in the pocket bobbing and weaving 😉 Definitely be getting tickets to see Bill next time he's over 🇮🇪 💚
I love the fact Bill tried his best to be the interviewer for so long , and eventually just succumbed to Tommy asking the questions and it was fantastic to see two friends just talking about comedy, Life, and every little thing in between.

Ol Billy fancy britches with your polo shirt 🤣🤣. Look like you're about to go down to country club and look for some new golfing shoes. 😂
I've been looking forward to this since you mentioned it on the podcast 😊 I saw him at the Edinburough fringe and i was sat on the front step of the theatre smoking after the show berating a bunch of folk that had left early for the bar saying guys you missed Tommy he was excelent tonight and just then he walked down the steps next to me gave me a huge smile and a thumbs up and walked off down the street on his own. Just another day for him.
That was epic that show.. tiernan did a joke about different accents and came in with the Indian guy (Delhi) right at the closing of the gag.. tommy was bawling crying with laughter he just about finished it in tears smiling so good
Billy Connelly is one of the greatest comedians, ever.
THE Greatest.
100 percent
It was nice hearing they were both fans of the Big Yin.😎
Seeing Tommy Tiernan at a small bar in Cork, I literally came out saying this was the closest to Billy Connelly there is. Despite being well known in Ireland, Tommy is world class.
Billy is the king for me.
I enjoyed this conversation, about nothing and everything, *immensely* . This was one of your best interviews ever. ✌
Irish people being described as white Mexicans is an amazing comparison, there really are some great similarities between the two peoples
Love the podcast! But just want to point out: The flight of the earls was after a 9 year long war against the English, when the Irish Earls (or Lords) Hugh O'Neill and Red Hugh O'Donnell, rebelled against the crown. These were men who had paid lip service to the English monarchy, but were secretly gathering men and material to kick the English out. Initially they had successes, and even convinced the Spanish to send an army to assist. But the Spanish army arrived in the wrong place, and the English managed to destroy them, followed by the Irish relief army that had been sent to link up. Later, when their last strongholds were under threat, the earls decided to flee Ireland to the continent, in an attempt to raise another army to free Ireland. Unfortunately, this never came to pass, with Hugh O'Neill eventually dying in Rome, and with him, the possibility of another army being raised.
The punch line comes when Bill tries to explain the flight of the Earls to someone a few years from now.😂
You just know they are going to break out the cigars immediately after that podcast 😂
❤😂
Jesus I've never smoked a cigar in my life and I don't like whiskey. But fuck me, I'm away to find some good cigars , a bottle of whiskey and heading for the shed 😂😂😂
22:18
“The Constant, Flow, of Semen.”
Those words in that tone of passion and accent was some good shit 😂
And with a straight face too lmao
Bukkake party
His supple Galwegian accent
@@SeanSMST Lives in Galway but def not a Galwegian accent... Navan man.
@@disraelite1 Ah yeah cause nobody's accent changes where they now reside. Not like as a dubliner for decades my accent changed to fit where I live in connacht. Also if you're gonna be pedantic, he was born in Donegal. He's a donegal man 🤓
Holy shit, unexpected and excellent, Tommy Tiernan and Bill Burr.
Tommy kicking off with some important Irish history and Bill trying to crack jokes on the earls 😂😂
The last guest I would have expected 😂 Great to see Tommy on!
I was not expecting this at all and as an Irish man i thought that burr and Tommy lived in different universes who never crossed paths. For me the third person what I love about this pod cast, it doesn’t feel like an interview, but two guys sitting in pub having a chat, I know it not everyone’s cup of tea, know some people love “what you think of this”, but maybe it’s just me being 40 now and loving soft chat ,what that does not need a punch line every 20seconds but rather two people shooting the shit
Great to see Tommy interview Bill Burr ....🤣🤣
Bill getting to meet the best storyteller in the world
No, billy connolly is the best story teller in the world
Burr is a French name originating from 'Beurre' meaning butter, so the family would have been butter churners.
Bill Burr. Willy Butter.
he churns my butter i can tell you.
He looks like a grown up butters
willy butter? or willy not?
Incorrect. Burr is Anglo-Saxon. Burr under your saddle? If you were a grown-up that had experienced life and mown a yard you would know exactly what a burr is, n'est pas??? Bien sur. Tu compris? Always some gobshite nattering away without a clue. Get tae feck. Cor blimey.
@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 spot on. I made it up to be honest!
Why am I so pleased, that these two are friends?
Tommy can't give up his interviewing even when he is the guest. He is a great interviewer and asks insightful questions and has no issue following a thread that was not on the "list" in order to explore an idea or thought or theory. He is doing exactly the same here and it is great
The Irish love the French. The French came to Ireland and fought the English with us. Go to Castlebar in country Mayo and you'll see French flags hanging from every window in the streets that the Irish and French defeated the English.
Dead-on. They also harboured and educated many of our patriots (Daniel O'Connell). Louth and Lyon were named after Lú.
The French were as bad as the Brits during colonialism.
@@DerekTJ Lyon is named after an Irish God?
@@DerekTJI didnt know that
True. I used to play in the Humbert pub. Named after General Humbert The French landed in Kilalla and marched on Castlebar. Every year the French and the Irish do a big re-enactment. It's savage auld craic altogether!
I’m from cork Ireland and I love Tommy and bill so much. Just the sarcasm. The wit. It really feels homely
I went to Bill Burr play in Dublin in June 2018. Great show. When he talked about 9/11 and the crowd would go Woo. Bill was taken aback. But think he was amazed by the reaction and loved it.
Should've mentioned the Miami Showband and gauged the mood ;)
“I love me a limerick.” 😂
This makes me so happy as a Dublin man
This is one of the best interviews of Billy Burr that I’ve ever heard
Definitely quickest hour in a minute for sure 😊
you both gel together so well, ya'll absolutely have to do more together.
love to the families ❤️
'Oh man that'd be great, come down to the shed with me. From Raúl's personal stash!' What a line. I kinda forgot those two might have known each other from back in the day. That was a great hour of entertainment that I didn't want to end.
Oh wow. I love Bill he’s my favourite comedian I’m Irish and I honestly didn’t know that Tommy was famous in America. It’s great to see two of my favourite comedians on one podcast.
The Flight of the Earls was when the Ulster Irish chieftains O'Neill and O'Donnell fled went into exile prior to the plantation of Ireland
Don’t forget the poets too 😂
And they ended up in Italy, not France (maybe one of them stayed in France).
France too. I live in Galway and part of my family, the Kirwans, moved to France, with the money! Look up Kirwan Wine in France. That's us!
@@Hiram1000 So why arent we drinking it in ireland then?
@Shedi1210 we are. Its in any Supervalue in the country.
Bill is my spirit animal.
Animal instinct 🎶 love the spirit animal vibe 👏
Tommy had a show at home where he interviewed people. He would not know who he was interviewing until they sat down in front of him live.
It's in him, he's hugely inquisitive, it's just natural to him
HAS a tv show, it still exists, it was last shown in April! Lots of videos on Tommy's youtube channel with various gust interviews. My favorite are when he has no idea who the person is!
it's not a very good concept for a show.
It's what there told and believe.. after that it's all gravy if you're green and truly in for a laugh
Was one of my favourite chats ever!
@@mageeknailmahs669 Well, it works 😂
"I'd love to have and animal around the place" "like giraffe" love how Tommy's mind works 🤣😂
Never thought I'd see this pair up
“Looking like I’m getting my picture taken in grade school.. one of these, with one of those!” 😂😂😂
"As an old man said to me, 'There was spunk flying all over the place'" hahaha
The Flight of the Earls took place in September 1607, when Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Rory O'Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell, and about ninety followers, left Ulster in Ireland for mainland Europe. Their permanent exile was a watershed event in Irish history, symbolizing the end of the old Gaelic order. The O`Donnell clan survives to this day in Spain and have served in the Spanish military . Tommy should know this.
Yep, this was after O'Neill prosecuted and led the Nine Years War (1593-1603), the closest the Irish ever got to expelling the English Crown from Ireland. So far. To be continued. Watch this space.
Tommy didn't know, and so went off on some mad 'poets' riff. As is his wont. Bill, strangely, was almost right. These Gaelic aristocracy chaps got their Earl titles from the English queen. But they were kind of forced to do so - surrender and regrant the English called it. Ultimately, they fucked up militarily at the Battle of Kinsale, did a runner to protect their own hides, and left ordinary Gaels like my people in the lurch when their pleas with foreign euro courts came to nothing. Not so poetic really.
Why should he? He pointed it out... He's not a professor of history... He did better than most, let others go and learn the history now, Tommy at the least was a catalyst. Next you'll be saying he should know all about the Flight of the Concords because he's a comedian...
@@superflu8You don't need to be a professor of history. Flight of the earls is primary school level history.
He should know this? Why? Ancient useless history. Like all Irish "lore".
20:22 - the windscreen on that microphone saw its opportunity and went for it. Managed to completely evade Bill's attention too. That's the cleanest Irish Goodbye I've ever witnessed.
Bill; you and Tommy should do a regular podcast. The forward and back, having have one side with their view, and Tommy making a clarification of your thoughts would be just great,.
Two very contrasting people. Bill Burr a comic genius and Tommy Tiernan a complete gobshite who somehow thinks he has a deep knowledge of the human condition. He's from Meath and pretends he's West of Ireland which he ain't by a long way. Just like that other tool Hector.
Laying here, you two start talking. Right away i got this "gut feeling". There are moments where one of you said something a certain way, & i said to myself "okay let's see how this gets handled". They are little things, but i have seen heated arguments being triggered by the same things with other couples, ,,,, put it this way, you two danced with each other through the whole conversation. I NEVER SEEN/HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I am 57 yrs old, & "by choice" i have been single,,,, no, solo for over 20 year (i don't allow anyone to get close mentally, emotionally, physically, ETC.). One day i just said to myself "never again". All these years i have been holding on to this picture in my head of what a relationship is, how relationships always are. Two, three minutes before i started typing this comment, i started taking down all those pictures in my head. Down off the walls i built to hang them on. Listening to this one conversation between you two. My god if only the rest of the world can just do that there would be no need to even have words like "war". I never listened to you two have a conversation, & now i want to, i need to. Yea, i need to. I have to.
@@juliuspekar7620 are you serious or is this a piss take ?
@@toomylight2311 There isn't enough for me to understand what your saying in your reply. Forgive me if i don't answer. I never even heard the term "piss take". have no idea what it is
@@juliuspekar7620 piss take here in Ireland means is this a joke ?
Sorry if it wasn’t a joke , it just sounded so intense .
@@toomylight2311 That's so cool , thank you
Tommy did a wonderful interview of Bill! 😂
Bill and Tommy together this is gonna be Awsome ❤️
Americans think that because their comedy is the most commercially know, that it's better or , that they're the only ones doing it. Latin America, the UK, Europe and others have comedians that make ours look elementary.
Really enjoyed this guest.
Outside of British comedy, Americans probably don’t know comedians from other countries. Your comment that Americans think that they are the only ones doing comedy it is a stretch.
You mean joe rogan thinks that
@grioulaloula8594 its not really . Ive heard it said on kill tony many times . Like Americans are genuinely shocked comedy exists out the US.
Ireland has great comics like Tommy tbf
Americans are vastly superior stand up comics to the rest of the world. British comedians want to be seen as smart moreso than being funny
Bill and Tommy who I have listened to for 20 years. Then here they are together. A mistical gift for us mortals. This podcast was singularly the most interesting intense podcast I have ever listened to. And they were creatively buzzing.
Tommy you must have Bill back to your shed emporium for Castro cigars. Bill get your ass over to misty Ireland.
Omg two of my favourite funny people together talking about another legendary favourite in Billy Connolly! Thank you Bill
This is the double act I didn’t know I needed.
Tommy Tiernan Live was the first stand up I've ever seen
Never thought I'd see tommy being interviewed by Bill and I'm here for it
Nice to see Tommy interview Bill Burr.
Love seeing Billy on camera. Great guest. Hearing how you describe the luxury or whiskey and cigars is soo funny and relatable.
Let’s go boys, two of my favourites. Viva la Tommy !!
I've Loved you both for years. This one made my heart swell with pride and appreciation for comedy. Laughed from the soul several times. Thank you Gentlemen for the genuine conversation and entertainment ❤
Two of my favourite comedians seen Tommy last Year in Vicar Street Dublin Amazing nite nothing is held back the way it should be so funny start to finish 😂brilliant 👏 forget the critics we love it . I've watched Bill last couple of years on Social media absolutely hilarious even have the missus hooked everytime we have argument i take the knee 🤣 Best advice ever staying in the pocket bobbing and weaving 😉 Definitely be getting tickets to see Bill next time he's over 🇮🇪 💚

About time Tommy gets recognised ❤
Tommy's professionalism really shows throughout this, to the point i forget its not his podcast

Omg my two favorite comedy guys. I am from Ireland. My son sent me the link. This is just brilliant. I am in heaven listening to this.
Doin' OK There Billy B. and Tommy Tiernan. THANX FOR THE LAUGHS DUDES !!!
Tommy Tiernan is far and away the best Irish comedian ever. This feels like a fever dream ! ❤
Dylan Moran
I love the fact Bill tried his best to be the interviewer for so long , and eventually just succumbed to Tommy asking the questions and it was fantastic to see two friends just talking about comedy, Life, and every little thing in between.
A genuine joy to see these two men in one room.
