1. Bill Burr & Ms. Pat: Authenticity, Comedy & The Grind
[00:32–27:14]
Highlights
Judge Show & Authenticity
- Bill introduces Ms. Pat as “one of the funniest and most authentic people I have met in this business” [00:35], noting her growing TV presence (BET, "Ms. Pat Settles It").
- Ms. Pat discusses holding court on her BET judge show:
- She doesn't literally have "Hollywood jail" authority, but:
Ms. Pat: "I do have the authority to say shut the hell up several times...people know what they're walking into." [01:37] - Her approach: people see her like an auntie or older family member, making guests less performative and more cooperative [02:08].
- She doesn't literally have "Hollywood jail" authority, but:
- Bill: “If somebody is just being who they are, then I can relax because I don't have to...do all the math.” [02:24]
The Life of a Comedian
- Both discuss the independence of stand-up versus the instability of TV/acting.
- Ms. Pat: “Comedy is the one thing you own...we can literally go to a bar and sell five dollar tickets and make us some gas money.” [03:50]
- Bill: “As a comedian, once you prove you're funny, you're funny. With an actor, it's...can you do this?” [04:15]
- Stereotyping and typecasting in Hollywood:
Ms. Pat: “Everybody think I can sing because I'm fat and I'm black. I'm horrible.” [06:15]
Comedy, TV Typecasting & Stereotypes
- A playful riff on typecasting: Bill’s repeated casting as cops/firefighters, Ms. Pat’s disinterest in being assumed as a singer because of her looks.
- On sitcoms and American TV nostalgia: Both reflect on which 90s shows “felt like them” (Bill didn’t watch "Friends"—“I couldn't relate to it” [12:37]; Ms. Pat didn’t grow up on "Martin").
Parenting, TV & Generational Differences
- Parenting in their 50s:
- Bill's kids are 8 and 5; he’s “the reverse”—starting later [10:26]. His kids have old-school TV tastes, like watching "Kojak" [10:50].
- Ms. Pat: “You got some shelter babies. My kids watch any damn thing.” [10:41]
- Generational relationships with TV—Ms. Pat prefers nothing before late ‘90s, only watches “Golden Girls” marathons by accident [11:55].
Authenticity in Ms. Pat’s Sitcom
- Bill’s praise: “This woman is a star. I was so struck with how mean the stuff you were saying, simultaneously with the amount of love that was underneath it. I absolutely loved the show.” [16:38]
- Ms. Pat on mothering styles: “I'm an inner-city black mother...we say, 'sit the fuck down.' A white mom might be saying, 'no, we need a time out.'” [18:11]
- Family backgrounds are never as simple as TV tropes. Bill: “If you knew what the fuck was going on in my house...I wish my dad left!” [18:29]

2. Ms. Pat, DIY & Real Estate Empire
[27:14–37:03]
Highlights

- Learned from HGTV: “AGTV gives you the energy to tear it apart...nobody tell you you got to know how to put that crap back together!” [29:08]
- Her husband, a house framer, helps; between “that and YouTube, we made mistakes but kept going.” [29:16]
- Bill is in awe: “That’s fantastic. That's money that's just always going to come in. So you're never going to be broke.” [30:24]
- Built her own 15,000 sq ft house on 7 acres with no general contractor. “I built them [her dogs] an 800 square foot house.” [33:14]
- Tease: “You have built an 800 square foot house for your dogs?”
Ms. Pat: “Yeah, they got air conditioning, cable and AC, a washing machine, a shower.” [33:34]
Memorable Moment:

4. Ms. Pat’s Criminal Past, Comedy Evolution, Career Shoutouts
[40:01–56:10]
- Ms. Pat shares details from her past—the difference between survival crime and malice:
- “I was trying to survive—two kids at 15, eighth-grade education...I wasn't the dope dude that did the drive-bys. Now, I put the gas in the car for the drive by, but I didn’t personally go unless it was on my baby daddy." [40:22]
