The true American dream: just leave me alone and let me enjoy this sandwhich
That one hit for me too. He was talking apartments NYC vs house and just owning something and getting to be left alone. I immediately realized that this is part of why I'm miffed with every damn subscription streaming service and the fact that you don't get to own Photoshop or Windows anymore. I just wanna pay and be done without anyone bothering me every month or year while tryina eat my sammich.
😂
@@rogersockwellyeah it’s like. Can I just get to the point where I know I won’t be homeless. Just let me get to the spot where there’s a place I know I can stay and not get kicked out. 😂😂😂. I’ll store some dried goods to keep me going if shit ever hits the fan. 😂. Let me just have that space so I can relax and just work for food and extras.
@@threeofeight197 Alaska might be a good start bro 😅
YES!
Im a 53 year old Black man. My wife is going on a 10 day cruise with my mom tomorrow. Our daughter is 19 years old and is in college. The highlight of my time alone will be getting high and watching Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle stand up sets. Life is great!
I have a question. Do black people know there are over (1-100) 18-million people in slavery in Africa today, 2024 which includes generational slavery. One group enslaving another group of people for generations. Source Google. If all definitions of slavery are included such as being forced to be a soldier, sex slavery ect. SOURCE Microsoft Pilot A.I. App. 52 million is the number. Even higher across Asia, but Asia's population is much higher than Africa's 1.8 Billion making Africa's slavery to population ratio much higher than Asia. Just found this out recently and never heard anything about this. It's always Evil white men 150 years ago? Probably best I keep this quiet, but you ID'ed as black and I couldn't resist passing it on just in case it is unknown. I'm sure everyone in the Black community world wide (especially the current African slaves) know and just don't want it taking away from the white man bad narrative. I don't blame you, it is working great! Smoke one for me.
I'm 52, black, married and soooooo jealous of you right now
Dare to live the dream.
I teared up listening to Bill talk about how he is trying to raise his kids better than the childhood he had. I feel the same.
A lot of us feel the same ! ... i still made mistakes but my daughter at least had love and security .. she s now 27 .. and just started liking me again :-)
Wimp
Bill‘s dad is my friends Dentist
@@jhg3 Cool story
I’m probably gonna break even, I had a pretty good childhood. My mom really tried her best in an unfair situation, and still gave my brother and me plus extra.
Bill always talks down his intelligence. He is freaking brilliant at putting many subjects and ideas in perspective.
Bill is a curious minded individual for sure. I love his comparison about the greatest generation being launched like a satellite put on a specific trajectory and I was like where did that come from. But yeah, it's an accurate metaphor
yeah your fucked
Facts.
Sometimes
If you’re smart you know humble goes a long way. Letterman, Joe Rogan, Norm Macdonald- they know to play dumb to comic effect, and to stay curious to ask questions to get smarter.Just repeating what they’ve said- I’m so dumb I don’t even know how to measure it. ( surely the internet can tell me.)
Burr nailing the tech bros is worth the price of admission. He's spot on.
Comparing being scared of God and being scared of the car salesman was brilliant.
Tech Bros are just the manifestation of massive corporations, that happen to be in tech. Any company that big forgets about people and only cares about money.
Like Neil says, the whole [corporate] system is predicated on fucking people.
Bill Burr is not only a top stand-up comedian but one of the best podcast guests out there.
Still not inviting all Patrice friends to his benefit...
@@FlexStudioPL and
@@FlexStudioPL Like who? He's invited the usuals like Norton, Vos, Bobby Kelly, and Keith Robinson over the years. Burr has talked about trying to bring in the new blood who were also influenced by Patrice so there are younger faces there but Bill says he doesn't want to bring the same comedians every year.
Bill's ability to be open and vulnerable is awesome
His Conan appearances set the stage.
Bill surprises me every time I see him in an interview over the years. he went from shut down McGee to open and vulnerable but never changing who he is. It’s amazing.
well said
Agreed - not a fan of Russell Brand but his interview with Burr was really moving and showed his humanist side
Having children played a huge part
Watching him get happier is cool but watching him turn into a foolish leftist is kinda sad.
@@nik07nikhe's learned new things and discarded things that don't make sense anymore
Neal is such a good listener. I'm not making a joke here. He's so empathetic and good at unobtrusively steering the conversation. This is the most genuine I've ever seen Bill on a podcast or interview of any kind.
You’re right. A great podcast that fits your description is “Take Your Shoes Off” with Rick Glassman. Bill was on it - check that out- if you don’t like it, I’ll owe you $100.
Excellent interviewer! 🌟
I love bill burr since he got married and had kids . He was always clever and shit but marriage and kids really brought out his empathy .
Ah I feel bad . I always loved him . I just love him more now
I give him tons of credit for evolving, but also know he married a star in Nia. She's got humor and wisdom and patience. She's the perfect foil for him.
@@bleedinketchupyou’re right though. His phases can and do coexist. Why feel bad about that?
He also reduced his drinking and went to therapy
h@@rogersockwell
Im 37. Been working in warehouses for 20 years. Bill hit the nail on the head describing warehouse work and warwhouse workers. Musicians, class clowns and addicts 😂😂😂
Around here it's immigrants mostly.
@@FuckGoogle2most if not all farmers or warehouses would go out of businesses or simply they go bankrupt. If it wasn't of hard working immigrants .
@@FuckGoogle2and those immigrants are probably musicians, class clowns and addicts. 😂😂😂
@@FuckGoogle2immigrants are also musicians, class clowns, etc.
@@XZITTthat's not true, immigrants destroy the whole system and the only ones that benefit are the rich corporations. use your brain.
" Not all those chicks made it backstage...." Billy spitting hilarious truth
lol. Hell yeah. 😂😂😂😂
Bill is one of my favorites because he is both schools of modern comedy.... He's an old school traditional comedian, but he's also done a lot of personal "emo" material. Watching Bill mature, and grow in a positive way has been great to see. He's relatable and flawed, but trying to be a better person, and sharing the embarrassing and hilarious transitions.
You can tell he has thought a lot about what is really right and wrong and I think he is pretty solid in his morals and judgement. Bill I’m sure would laugh at that.
That's a good kind of a sum up of bill
Well said 😊
Yes, when he said he was metal not grunge because he’s” angry “not “emotional”(sensitive) I was like COME ON, I call BS. Couldn’t believe he’s got that blind spot. lol.
Bill Burr is the type of individual that for the right person he wud be the perfect and best counselor in the world. Truthful straightforward caring transparent challenging but soooo effective.
I love how Bill loves his family❤
What I like about Bill is he's soooo harsh and abrasive but clearly is also clearly kind of a sweetheart.
Neal is one of the few guys that can talk emotions with Bill and not somehow trigger him at the same time. A couple of well formed human beings. Humor is the universal solvent against the abrasive elements of life.
I think it's because Bill knows he's also the product of a rough childhood, kinda how a veteran can open up to another vet.
@sirnonapplicable Its mainly because Neal is a legend in the industry so Burr has massive respect for him
I can listen to Bill all day, everyday.
I'm so glad to see another serious Burr interview where he feels like a peer and not a deity to the interviewer
Yeah, he hates the sycophants.
Theres a way Bill handles people who he doesn't view as a peer, or people that suck up to him too much. I must have watched 800 too many interviews but I can always spot the difference. Lol
"What time is it?! I gotta go."
Boom. Done. Perfect!
Burr is in my top 5 all time comedians. Great episode.
Burr, Chappelle, Louis C.K.
Agreed.
@@user-ow1sw4mw5x My exact same top 3. Who is number 1 is always revolving for me.
"Bullies make me forget that I'm not really good at fighting." HELL YEAH.
Bill Burr is a perfect example of an imperfect human being doing the best he can, and succeeding perfectly... Wise beyond our times.. If you really listen..
"Come on Red you can do betta than that"😂😂😂😂fucking hilarious 🤣
Couldn’t click fast enough. Old freckles is the best.
Ooooooooooooh Geeeeeeeeeeeesus........
My parents fought horribly, verbally and physically when we were toddlers. It really does fuck you up for life. And bullies in school didn't help, and my parents sent me to school in "that shirt".
I feel like I was very lucky, that wasn’t part of my growing up.
How are you today, now that you realize how f’d up your situation was?
How? Like contant anxiety? Does yelling making you anxious?
@@RebornLegacy Things like: Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), developmental trauma, hyper vigilance, structural dissociation, anxiety, depression, executive functioning issues, emotional dysregulation issues, learned helplessness, emotional flashbacks, nervous system dysregulation, flat affect, alexithymia, anhedonia, negativity bias, etc.... Trauma fucks you up big time.
@@amberfuchs398 💯 There's a book called The Body Keeps Score...you hold onto it all and then there's everything you've described symptomatic of the trauma.
Well, Use Bill as an example that you could go through a rough childhood but it doesn’t mean you can’t work on leaving that in the passed and have a happy life.
The "age at which you fall when you miss a punch" killed. 🤣😂🤣😂
"I have not gotten that belt at the emotional dojo yet" 😂😂😂
A great line indeed 🙌😊
Such a great line 😂
Gold. What a great podcast
"C'mon, Red! You can do better than that." love it
"Post traumatic growth." Brilliant, so many people need to hear this.
The "WHO WAS HE SUPPOSED TO BE" block behind Burr was incredible.
1:05:17 “IT HAUNTS ME-who is I supposed to be?” Has me STUNNED! Like, Is there any possible way you could be more on track, aligned with your destiny accomplished in your career. Happy with your family wealthy famous healthy, respected by your peers and heroes, following your dreams- AS IF YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SOMEONE “ GOOD”? Oh. My. God.
How about him talking about bees in front of a honeycomb?
The part about wondering who he would have been without trauma was resonant. There were several parts of this interview where Bill offers a glimpse of that person. His inner sage seems like a generous person, and it’s rewarding to see him getting in touch.
The abrupt end because Bill lost track of time was such a classic Dad move 😂❤
"I lost track of time bud, don't tell ya motha" is the story of my life lol
What'd be funny is if he Was late getting the kids, then Nia watches this video
Are ya havin a nice day so far? What if I'm not? You got some avocado toast that's gonna erase my childhood? 🤣
I couldn't let that one slip through the cracks -- I almost spit out my water.
knowing your limitations is such a great ability
'A man's got to know his limitations' - Harry Callahan
It is a lifelong goal, or should be
Knowing your disabilities is such a good ability.
Takes intelligence to know them. I swear, the dumber people are the more they think of themselves
The only difference between us and wild animals is that we can talk
That was such an “oh shxt! I gotta get my kids from school” walkout 😂
Neal, do you realize the amount of information, acceptance and healing you and your guests provide? Or are you simply comfortable knowing that you have made men understand the need for therapy feel like just hanging with a friend. Thank you for everything you put into this show. I very much appreciate Bill Burr's realist view on life over the years as well. Salute gentlemen.
I mean, he's said at the beginning of like the first 10 episodes, "We're Healing the Earth". He ain't lyin ❤🔥🌏
In my head, they both replied: I'm 90% doing this for me
I was so happy to see this guest. And the introduction was spot on. Bill Burr is one of the best comics. Top top tier.
Bill Burr ... Honest, sincere and truthful.... What we ALL need.
Love it. Burr trying so hard to fight against acknowledging he is becoming a really, really good person.
Emotional Dojo is a great concept
This was Burr at his very best, intelligent, humane, thoughtful and compassionate, mixed in with his wit and great fucking jokes. Illuminating. He's always smarter than whatever host he's on with.
Bill isn’t smarter than Neil.
@@fuckgoogle8661 Disagree. Of course it depends on what we call smart, and what we prioritize. Bill is not well-informed but he's a very clear thinker, and he's extremely emotionally intelligent, in a way that Neal isn't. Neal gets the trees but not the forest. He's afflicted by self-importance. I find him a little hard to listen to because of it.
Bill: “and it’s like…. You ever think I had a different childhood? This is me partying! Can you just fk off” !! resting trauma face!! 💘😂😅
I just want a full hour of Burr talking about Meshuggah.
Yes
Just Bill singin instrumentals with his mouth !
It's like a Chappelle show reunion this is great
I love seeing Bill talk to someone who is as intelligent and damaged as he is. He really opens up and the interview is magnetic.
Even pulls an Irish goodbye on a podcast, didn't know that was possible!
It's refreshing for Neil to have a guest that doesn't want to sing the "Woe is Me" chorus along with him for an hour.
Bill's a good dad
Hands-down, the funniest ending of any podcast. I think Bill remembered he had to pick up the kids from school that day.
Agree with Neal, Bill is an all time great (his bits about Cleo, his black and white special, etc.). I suspect Bill is really one of the most "blocked" guys out there because he alludes to lots of stuff but is very guarded about actually discussing his father and brothers. Which is fine, and I hope everything continues on the upswing for him; it seems like it is.
He doesn’t talk about them publicly because he wants to protect their privacy. He’s really not a blocked person at all, very self-aware and has a lot of insight.
Pair of legends, hanging low, sticking together
WOW Burr explaining "resting trauma face" and social events as 'that guy' is so poignant. Thanks for expressing how I feel.
I’m dying at bill trying to read into everything Neal says when he’s just being literal 🤣 everything’s like a knee jerk WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT
I think he just likes to be sure he understands what someone is saying. What is really jarring to me, as a people-pleaser, is how easily he will immediately vocalize disagreement.
"I don't have kids. I'm involved with a kid now, but, longer story."
I feel like this was almost the worst possible wording, Neal. 🤣🤣
Why? Do you know the story and know how bad he worded it?
(I Dont know this interviewer)
@@nyChannel09 Yes. He's currently dating a woman who has a kid. But I thought his wording made it sound like he's dating the kid.
I just imagine him takes that kid on play dates, to the state fair and then dropping them off at his moms house and thanking their mom and that's that.
Never expected such insightful parental advice. I have a 2.5 year old and what Bill said about explaining to them why other kids are mean, something I've often wondered about how to explain when that time comes, and letting them wear what they want is fantastic advice.
The birds chirping in the morning wakes up the flowers..
Who all gets extremely excited when Neal drops a new Blocks!?!?
me!!! the guest is always not who i expected and better than i could have planned
"Come on Red, you can do better than that!" had me going pretty good!
32:05 "No, I've not gotten that belt at the Emotional Dojo yet. I've taken the test a lot and failed" Is a brilliant line.
Road rage is still a real issue with me. I just feel I can't let people get away with driving the way they do and have to be the one to show them there are consequences to their actions. However, I also recognize how psycho that is, how it looks to everyone else and if my message is even getting across properly.
Bill Burr as good dad is the most hopeful image I can imagine.
Bill Burr thoughts on the world are so close to mine it’s scary. That’s probably why he’s one of my favorite comedians. For example people cant be scared of the afterlife because ppl are willing to do the worst things in the world and fuck over so many ppl to be able to have abundance of stuff they dont even need. Life is so short is crazy what people have to do in order to have a normal regular good life.
This isn't about you
@@Dr_Jim57 thanks for clearing that up
@@Dr_Jim57what a dumb comment. If he relates to it, it is about him, and the whole goal of this podcast in general is to open discussions that its viewers can relate to. If it wasn’t about us, the viewers, why the f else would they be taping, editing, and uploading for public broadcast the conversation they had here.
Bill interviews never disappoint
I have so much love for bill. Genuinely humble and one of the funniest comedians!
Jesus, the humble comment
When I was about 19 or 20, I worked in a very violent group home for kids with disabilities. I was driving one of them to the beach (one I was close with) and in my frustration, I kinda snapped at him. Nothing too crazy but I didn’t like the way I had talked to him. I could see his face fall with sadness in the rear view mirror. The power dynamic tells me that I don’t need to apologize but after a minute or so, I did. Genuinely. It takes humility to examine your own faults and take accountability for them but man, it’s powerful stuff. Good on Bill. It’s been enjoyable watching him become more and more introspective and, as somebody with a father whose first language has always been anger, it’s nice to see him unlearning that and being willing to talk about that. Especially with that being so much of his on stage persona. There are other ways, men. Let’s keep getting better 🤙🏼
This was beautiful. Thank you for your words and for trying to always be a better human being. We need a LOT more people like you in the world.
💯
@@missmeppsie3389 Thanks for your kind words. That means a lot to me :)
How did the kid react?
Just wondering since i work with a similar group of students
@@Coentjemons Hey, thanks for askin! It was a really beautiful and powerful moment in that time because it was a lesson on humility early into adulthood. The response was beautiful and forgiving because, at the end of day, we all just wanna connect. Especially kids and especially with the adults around them. This obviously makes them vulnerable but also makes them forgiving. This kid felt the sadness and then felt the good feeling of being validated by my apology. Hope that helps!
Bills comment about who am I supposed to be gave me shivers down my spine.
I have been waiting for this episode for a long time. It didn't disappoint. Thanks Neal and Bill
The reason we all love Billy Blue Balls is exactly because he's self deprecating all the time. He as zero ego. He knows his issues and he's working on them while making all of us laugh our heads off. What's not to love?
bill's kids must watch Bluey, the parents are having a disagreement and Bluey tells them not to squabble lol
They do, as does Bill 😂
@@David-cm4okI ❤ Bluey, Bingo, Chillie and Bandit!
I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast
The "Are you having a nice day so far?" bit reminds me of George Carlin's "Have A Nice Day." Just brilliant.
Bill may be the most normal person. The fact he is self-aware makes him seem wiser than most.
Unfortunately most people are totally oblivious to who they are and how they effect others
I'm still waiting for Louis C.K. to get un-cancelled......
This was one of the best podcast i've ever listened to, great conversation, Bill Burr is the best!
It's funny how Neal and Bill think very differently, and it shows itself when Neal misinterprets things. It's funny because I must think like Bill on most of these things, because I immediately see Bill's kind of "Uhh, no, you missed the mark" face, and feel validated. Not a knock on Neal, just an observation.
Almost 52 and retired from the Army over 10 years now. Helicopter pilot and prior NCO. First conversation I can really relate to and that feels good. Thank you
Bill Burr is truly a hilarious wizard, have always liked how real he is.
This was such a good episode, s/o to Bill Burr for always keeping it real.
I love how he subverts expectations. I've seen BB before in interviews, like this, where someone will say "Don't you think that..." and then he'll be like, "No."
You have a great gift where you can talk these huge personalities to a table and just freaking be 100% with you.
I really appreciated this whole conversation. It felt real.
Bill couldn’t be more right about those early jobs being the most fun of all. I worked unloading trucks at Pier 1 and then as a manager at Abercrombie and I miss them both every single day now in the “real world”
A podcast where people are particularly open, honest, and very vulnerable about their feelings. With Bill Burr. This should be interesting.
The last comedian I saw live was Tom Segura at the Mirage late December 2019. At that same time I had already had tickets to see Bill Burr March 2020. It broke my heart that I never got to see Bill Burr live. Because he is by far one of my top three favorite comedians.
When I watch and listen to podcasts like these..I'm convinced that there's a small percent of the population that get to marry for love and truly have a best friend in a life partner. A little envious but at the same time It's somebody's job to shovel shit x
I really enjoyed this segment. Thank you for sharing❣️
How did bill just move passed Neal saying “I’m involved with a kid now” 😂
Ol Fatty Arfreckle in the house.
Psychopaths are the parents fault.
The devil is God's fault.
Doncha love emotional irresponsibility?😂😅
When ATC had that poker game, Bill talked about repeating a grade. Theo Von calls him Billy TwoTimes. Like a mean 4th grader. That's his name to me now.
@Neenerella333 That's outstanding, proper stay-with-you-forever, nail-on-the-head, that-thing, that-time, hilarious school nickname shit.
Aboy the Theo! 😆😆😆
Never enough. Thank you for your time, and thanks for showing up here.
Bill Burr is the “i’m not a motivational speaker”-est motivational speaker ever
Love interviews with this guy
What a fascinating discussion.. Old billy milky thighs really is so intelligent and constantly plays it down.. I miss the 80s so much
You are the only one who can say the “C” word and I like it man
Ole Billy freckles in the house!
Incredible episode 🤘🏼🍿🍿🤘🏼
Man, Bill Burr is so relatable 👍
With my Massachusetts "angst", asking me "Are you having a nice day so far?" would elicit the same reaction from me as "Someone's got a case of the Mondays!"
I love how bill burr was saying his opening at SNL didnt ruffle a few feathers because it def. Did. And it was one of his best bits ever.
Burr is a freakin' philosopher!
❤😂❤😂❤😂
I agree with that! Makes you wonder if Socrates cracked wise 😂
Neal is 100% correct 😂😂😂😂😂 “You did your thang” is definitely you wasn’t good but not great but we appreciate the effort.
Two of my favourite people. watching Burr slay Bill maher earlier in the week, all 90 mins of it, was delicious.
This was immensely valuable.
Thank you Neal and Bill!
Emotional dojo be a great title for a stand up special.
Bill Burr is awesome in his honesty and comedy! Keep up the good work! And ahhh you too Neal! 😂
Both of you guys are therapy for an average joe thanks!!!🙏
