Bill Burr
Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byrne. It's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, November 16, 2025. What's going on? Oh, yeah, how's it going? Ah, geez. Oh, Billy's back in la. Go yourselves. I did my last acting gig of the year. Psych, dude. I was up in Vancouver. I was in Vancouver for a couple of weeks up there. Oh, jeez. Very expensive city. You know, it's like if you took Seattle and you gave it like a sense of purpose, that's what Vancouver is.
Joe Rogan
No, I'm kidding.
Bill Burr
Vancouver was Seattle. But like, it definitely looks like a.
Joe Rogan
Little bit like a Godzilla movie, you know what I mean? There's a big Asian population there and I think that it influenced the architecture in a good way. But I've been watching a lot of Godzilla movies lately because my. My son got a Godzilla action figure thing and he didn't know what it was. He thought it was like a dinosaur. I'm like, dude, it's not a dinosaur. Godzilla is Godzilla. Like, Lenny Bruce is like, I'm not a comedian, I'm Lenny Bruce. Like, Godzilla is like, I'm not a dinosaur, I'm Godzilla. Like, that's what I'm saying right out of the gate, a fucking minute into this podcast.
Bill Burr
What? I said it. I'll say it again.
Joe Rogan
You know, people think they're disrupting everything. That's right. Fucking Godzilla's not a dinosaur. Come at me, bro. And all this other dumb shit that.
Bill Burr
People say on the Internet.
Joe Rogan
I can't come at you. I don't know who you are. I don't know where you are. Maybe that's the joke, right? Is that what the joke is? People are acting like they're being tough even though they're hiding.
Bill Burr
Bill, maybe you could just read the comment and laugh and not be so fucking literal. Aren't you a comedian, you fucking freckled cunt? So we've been watching. Yeah, so you know, he goes to look at Godzilla and it's the modern shit. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not doing this modern Godzilla. Shit. Fucking cgi. It's not even there. Bunch of actors staring at tennis balls going, oh, oh, Godzilla. No, fuck that, fuck that. I want original Godzilla. A 5 foot 6 Japanese guy in a Barney the dinosaur suit, stomping on a little city. That's what the fuck we're starting with.
Joe Rogan
And we did.
Bill Burr
It was the one where there was robot Godzilla. We watched it last night. Robot Godzilla versus this. This robot Godzilla that only worked if they killed this woman and turned her into a robot. And then somehow she's also still a person because she can cry in the.
Joe Rogan
End, which she did. I got to give it up to her. She got there, you know, it was a great acting performer.
Bill Burr
I did not expect that level of.
Joe Rogan
Acting in a Godzilla movie. There's also a dude in there that's.
Bill Burr
Sort of a nod to Albert Einstein, I felt.
Joe Rogan
And, and then there's one guy, he's.
Bill Burr
Wearing this gray three piece suit with.
Joe Rogan
This killer black and white tie. And I just kept saying to Nia, we had movie night last night. I kept going, look at that fucking suit. He had the Jack Lord, Hawaii 50 haircut. All the guys in the thing had that. So anyway, we watched that Godzilla. And then there was also another sort of, sort of dinosaur looking thing. Was weird. It was like talk, all this. And then when Godzilla would come to it, it would turn its back on Godzilla and. And like add this, this extra thing with its tail, like a sail. And it would start like basically twerking sideways, which would create such like a. It was like the butterfly flapping its wings except it was a dinosaur and Godzilla would like roll away. It was fantastic. And I used to watch all of those movies.
Bill Burr
Godzilla versus Gamera, Godzilla versus Smog Monster. They used to have this thing on WLVI TV 56 in Boston, Massachusetts. Greater Boston too. And.
Joe Rogan
And it was called Creature Feature on Saturdays.
Bill Burr
Saturdays. And I saw all, you know, the 50 foot attack of the 50 foot.
Joe Rogan
Man or whatever.
Bill Burr
Creature from the Black Lagoon, all of that shit.
Joe Rogan
Frankenstein, Dracula movies, Werewolf movies. And then they were really popular. And then Creature Feature became Creature Double Feature.
Bill Burr
Creature Double Feature on a Saturday. So I would watch cartoons all morning.
Joe Rogan
And then in the afternoon, you. I would. I would watch one of those Creature Feature movies. And they would always have like a host.
Bill Burr
Do they have a host?
Joe Rogan
I can't remember. I gotta look. That's like some, you know, when you're feeling like nostalgic, you just look it up and somebody somehow taped it and posted it. And you just think like, who? Who taped that? And there's no way. The person who actually. I watched it, but I didn't have the ability to tape. Whoever taped it had to at least be 20 years old. 50 years ago, they're probably dead. And some kid went through their VHS s tapes and just posted all of it. It's amazing. Anyway, so I was up there. I got to give a shout out some. To some places where I went and I got coffee. All right. These were the three best places. And they all treated me great. And all of their coffee was delicious over there. Let me get them. Okay. There was nepotism. There was. Revolver, was fantastic. I went to Timberland. Oh, hang on a second. And then the last one. The last one was Oide, which, interestingly enough, is high in Japanese. And they just were not around. They had, like, two things on the menu. An espresso, and then, like, espresso with coffee, like. And just like. It was just. No. They built their own furniture. There was a couple of questants. But other than that, they just did coffee. And that was amazing. And I have to tell you, on Hastings and the greater area of Hastings, all of those junkies, everybody doing. What do they call it?
Bill Burr
The.
Joe Rogan
The. The. The Fetty fold, the Fett Fentanyl fold. That was heartbreaking to see all of that stuff. I just kept thinking, like, that's somebody's daughter. That's somebody's son or brother, father, mother or whatever. It's a epidemic, man. A lot of people. A lot of people in pain doing that to their body. And it was, like, raining the whole week. And these people are outside, dude. There was a guy nodding off in the middle of the street. Like, he. Like, we have red light. And he was trying to make his way across the street, and he didn't get there. And then people started driving. I had to put the window down.
Bill Burr
I said, hey, buddy, you're in the street. Get on the sidewalk. Shit was bananas. But I will tell you this, though. When we got outside of that, I saw a little bit of the.
Joe Rogan
The Little Italy area. I went down, I guess, the Peninsula, south of the main downtown area. I went over there when I went to that coffee shop, that Oide coffee shop.
Bill Burr
And.
Joe Rogan
And then the first day when I did the fitting and all of that to see, you know, what clothes you're going to wear, what costume you're going to have for your shoot. I was in the north, north, north of the city. That one went over the bridge and everything. But what a beautiful goddamn city and great people. And I hope all those people get off drugs or I hope they do something to help these people get off drugs. Because, dude, it was fucking bananas. Like, it had me looking up like.
Bill Burr
How the fuck can you stay in that position? Like, how come your legs don't give out too? And it wasn't like a heroin. The heroin lean, you know, heroin lean was always sort of like bend at the knees and start to go down and then you would always go, come back up again. This is just folded over at the fucking waist. Like the beginning of yoga class.
Joe Rogan
I mean, I. I don't know. I've never seen anything like that. And that includes downtown la. I mean, this was like miles and miles and miles of this. But having said that, it's also a really expensive city to live in. And the food was fantastic, the coffee was great and the people were great. I went to a diner that I liked up there too, called Templeman. I remembered that because that was the same name of this. The producer on the Van Halen Records early on, Ted Templeman. Templeman Diner. Which was hilarious. I went there a couple times and the second time I went there, I was across the street because I wasn't quite sure where it was. I got the hiccups again. I eat too fast. Anyway, and I looked and I didn't realize that it's right next to an adult video store and it has this sign in the window. You know, like since 1975, 50 years, the number one adult video shop in Vancouver.
Bill Burr
Was. It was pretty amazing. I was kind of like, well, you guys must. So that you've gone through like from peep shows to VHS tapes to contemplating laserdisc. Like, is it gonna. Is this the way we go then to DVD and then to like digital, to like. I don't know what that. I don't know what they're renting now to sort of all of that stuff for like the. The hipster incel likes to consume their porn. I have to be honest with you.
Joe Rogan
The fucking incel thing.
Bill Burr
I mean, just call yourselves what you are. Just call yourselves quitters, you know?
Joe Rogan
Jesus Christ.
Bill Burr
You're just gonna tap out. You gonna tap out and blame. How you gonna blame when you don't even have it in your life? What. What the. I actually think some of the.
Joe Rogan
That they say is misogynistic as some of the. That I've said on stage. Like, it's like the incels. Like how they view women. Like, if. If there was a comedian version of that before I went on stage, I would be in the back of the club pacing Going, I can't follow this.
Bill Burr
I mean, I make fun of women, but at the end of the day.
Joe Rogan
I fucking love them.
Bill Burr
I like to think that that's underneath the bullshit that I'm saying. Or you understand that the issue has nothing to do with them. It's really me just projecting my bullshit onto them.
Joe Rogan
But their shit, my God.
Bill Burr
I would even say the people of Saudi Arabia would be like, hey man, fucking take it easy a little.
Joe Rogan
That's what I've learned.
Bill Burr
I will never forget that lesson that.
Joe Rogan
I learned in 2025. Sell them missiles.
Bill Burr
Do not tell them jokes. You will be just fine. You will have no problem with the people that care. Um, anyway, I'm finally past my phantom limb here with the.
Joe Rogan
With the. No baseball.
Bill Burr
Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd. Bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, Game seven of the fucking World Series. How did you not score? He couldn't get out of his glove. And then he threw it home a little off the plate, but the guy got his spike on the fucking plate before you scored.
Joe Rogan
I just pictured Joe Carter watching that game going, why don't you just hit a home run and end this thing? If somebody just hit a home run, then no one would be whining about the fucking. The third base coach or the guy on third.
Bill Burr
Why, why was his lead social? Because it's game seven and you don't want to get picked off a third base. You want to get caught in a rundown, you don't want to make the final out, you don't do that shit. Because the third base coach and all those other cunts could have hit a home run. And they didn't. They didn't. Dude, you know what I would have done? You know what I would have done after that 9th inning? If I was a Blue jay in the bottom of the tenth, I just would have hit a home run.
Joe Rogan
We were shooting at one point in this. That's what they say in the business. When we were on set, we were walking by. We were shooting on a college campus, and there was this music room. These kids were jamming down there. You know, kid on drums, guitar, and you know, every other instrument you could think of. And then, like, the last day I was there, they had this juggling class. I would fucking do that in a second. First of all, learn how to juggle bowling pins. But then to do it with, like, somebody else to learn how to do that shit, that's good for your brain. Like, if I was, like, running some halfway house for Fucking recovered. Recovered. Like fenty fold old people, you know, who had no back muscles whatsoever, but the most flexible hamstrings in the business. I would.
Bill Burr
Like. Let's get some of you.
Joe Rogan
Let's get your brains back here. All right?
Bill Burr
We're all going to go up to.
Joe Rogan
The plate, we're going to bat left handed, and then we're going to learn how to juggle. That's what we're doing today.
Bill Burr
I don't want to. Yeah, you want to go back on the street and fold in half like.
Joe Rogan
A fucking lawn chair? I didn't think so.
Bill Burr
Pick up your ball and pits. It's like he was helping them, but it was also abusive. So it was kind of, you know. I don't know.
Joe Rogan
Some days I used to leave work thinking, like, I think with Bill was a little hard on those fenty fold old people, you know, there was the greatest generation. Will this be like the most wasted generation?
Bill Burr
I don't know. Sorry.
Joe Rogan
Bad joke.
Bill Burr
It's a bad joke. What do you want from me? The Pats win again. Patriots, eight in a row. Boston Bruins fucking eight in a row. I don't know.
Joe Rogan
We did with that last game.
Bill Burr
It's a good time. It's a good time.
Joe Rogan
You know, Jason Tatum out for the year, whatever. What am I. What am I going to complain? Yes. What am I going to. Of course. What am I. What am I going to bring somebody down with my negative attitude? Absolutely. It's what I do. It's what I do. That's why I'm here, you know, and that's such like an uplifting. It's a powerful moment when you realize what your destiny is. I'm here to ruin your brunch with my comments. That's why God made me. God looked down on the earth and he anticipated brunch coming.
Bill Burr
Because when I was born Badu, Badabu, back in 1968.
Joe Rogan
There was no. I don't think there was any brunch. I don't think brunch existed. You know what they just remind me of? I watched that Eddie Murphy documentary last night. That guy is so fucking ridiculously talented. Okay? Not only like, you know, Oscar level actor, one of the greatest comedians of all time, one of the greatest impressionists of all time. And when he does voices, it's like Mel Blanc, where you don't. He comments, he goes, you don't hear my voice in it at all. And there's this thing towards the end, he's playing like blues guitar and like he's singing in this Voice. He sounds like John Lee Hooker.
Bill Burr
Like.
Joe Rogan
Somewhere around that, like, range. And it doesn't sound like him at all. He sounds incredible. It was just. It was an incredible documentary because I've seen his whole career. I think I kind of missed 1980. I was only 12 when he got on SNL, so I wasn't up that late. But I remember I was. I started buying comedy albums, and I had bought, like, the Richard Pryor ones. Then I went to George Carlin, and then Eddie Murphy had this album that came out. It had two different album covers.
Bill Burr
I had the.
Joe Rogan
I had it on vinyl, and on the vinyl one, he was smiling. He had a rose behind his ear. And then, like, I feel like they re released it after he blew up. It might have been recorded at the Comic Strip, too. I'm not sure. I forget I got that album still somewhere. Somewhere around here. So whenever that was. And I remember being in seventh grade, like in 1982 or something like that, and being in my math class, I still remember this. And I remembered I had memorized because I listened to it so many times. He was doing. He did a bit about, you know, somebody getting hit by a car in Brooklyn and some, you know, crazy homeless guy who didn't see it, but pretended like he saw the whole thing. Oh, God, I seen it. I seen the whole thing. I remember. I saw. I remember I had the whole bit down and I was doing it and making this kid laugh his ass off. I was just telling him the bit. And, yeah, I told you guys that I used to do my paper route in the morning, and I would be doing the routines out loud on my bike, pretending I was in front of my whole school on stage. And for some reason, I still wasn't able to be like, hey, Bill, maybe that means you want to be a comedian.
Bill Burr
But it didn't seem possible.
Joe Rogan
It's not like you guys with. With your goddamn camera phones and you have your video and all of that shit. It was just like, you know, the.
Bill Burr
Only person that had a camera was.
Joe Rogan
Like, your dad or your mom, you know, and they broke it out, like, twice a year, like, once on your birthday and once on Christmas. And maybe. I don't know, if you had, like, a fucking. A barbecue or some shit, they would take it. I very. Oh, your grandparents came to town.
Bill Burr
All right, everybody, let's gather around. Take a picture. The film would sit in the camera.
Joe Rogan
For, like, a year and a half, and then finally you'd get through the roll. Then they'd get it developed, and then you'd have to take out a projector.
Bill Burr
Put this. We used to slide with us like.
Joe Rogan
One of those little machines and you.
Bill Burr
Press the button and go.
Joe Rogan
And it'll come like a View Master. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is I'm old.
Bill Burr
So to sit down and watch that.
Joe Rogan
Thing and have them slowly go through like his, his childhood and then take, take you through his whole career was really amazing. And of course, you know, one of my favorite parts was when he talks about Charlie, even though I thought I wanted him to talk longer about it. But just seeing Charlie and watching him telling those stories, that guy was so goddamn funny. And so much of what made Charlie Murphy funny was him just being Charlie Murphy. Like he wasn't. So many times I remember he would tell me something and he was telling it to me sincerely and I would just be on the ground laughing. And then he would, then he would laugh. He would sort of think about what he's like, the way I was laughing, it would kind of make him think about what he just said.
Bill Burr
But.
Joe Rogan
I am so thankful for that that Dave and Neil got me on Chappelle's show and then I met him and then Donnell came up with that idea for the Rich tour for us all to go out, and that's how I became friends with him. And out of all this shit in my career, all the people I've met, Charlie Murphy is, is at the top of the list as far as just like one of the coolest, most interesting, just like characters I've ever met in, in my life. I still miss that guy anyway, so it was great to see him in that. And Eddie talking about him and all that, even though it was like, you know, sad hearing him say that. He missed his brother, obviously, but it was just cool just to, to, to just to hear his voice and hear him telling those stories.
Bill Burr
I have, like, that was another thing.
Joe Rogan
Too, is you guys, you know, you got the, the, the Charlie Murphy true Hollywood stories. Like I, I have six other ones that they never. That I can still remember that he told me, you know, that those are obviously his story, so I'm not going to tell them. But like, we would be like, you know, in the car riding to the gig and he would just start telling these stories and I would just. It was so surreal and I was just like. That was one of the most surreal times of my life where I had done the show and I came on in the second season, so it was just starting right before it blew up, the Chappelle show. And I remember Walking down the street. And I was in the first time I heard people quoting the show. And I was walking behind them and they were quoting something that I was on set and saw Dave say like six months earlier. And then it came out and then they were doing it. Oh, I told you that I was, I was at Bonnaroo in Tennessee. We were doing stand up there. Oh my God, that gig fucking sucked. I mean, it was good money and everything, but like they had stand up in this air conditioned tent. It was the only thing that was air conditioning. And it was hot as hell. You know, all these kids had party too much, took too much of this or whatever, smoked too much of that. And they were, and so many of them went into the air conditioned tent to just recover. So the place was like packed, but nobody was listening. People like sunstroke or whatever the they smoked or, or did. And you just be. It was me Voss was hosting and. Oh God. Just eating your balls. So anyways, later on that night, I went to go see this band Praxis or something like that at Bernie Ruel rest his soul was on keys, brain was on drums. And I forget who else was there. I just wanted to see this band. And I'm waiting, okay? And when this giant tent at night and the fucking lights go down and, you know, people anticipating that the band's gonna come, and I just hear this somebody yell out, what? And then somebody else on the other side goes, yeah. And then the last person, somebody else goes, okay. And I literally got chills.
Bill Burr
I was, I can't believe this.
Joe Rogan
This is crazy. So anyway, so fast forward, then the show blows up, then we go to do the tour, giving you guys the whole history here. And you know, obviously the Rick James sketch was immediately legendary. And as people were reacting to that, we were on tour and I would be in the car with Charlie and he would tell another crazy story from the 80s back when Eddie was doing whatever like the Golden Child or Trading Places or, or Beverly Hills Cop was. It was amazing because nobody knew who the I was at all. Like, I remember I, when I was on that tour, people used to always come up to me, hey, good set. I, I, you know, are you from Atlanta, you know, or are you a writer? On the show, they had no idea.
Bill Burr
Who the I was.
Joe Rogan
So I kind of felt like the whole time I was on that tour or on that show, I kind of felt like I had won like some like, radio contests. Like the fifth, you know, the fifth.
Bill Burr
Collar is gonna get to ride the gig with some of the Guys from the Chappelle Show.
Joe Rogan
Like, that's, that's literally what it felt like. But anyway, it's on Netflix if you guys get a chance to watch it. I mean, he's truly, you know, like a, a. I can't even say once in every 50 years because he's in his 60s and there's still, there's still yet to be another Eddie Murphy like that level. Of all of those gifts in one guy, I would say the closest I would say would be Jamie Foxx. Like Jamie's musical ability and his impressions are just like, like you ever just click on a video of that guy doing the people that he can imitate. Like he imitates people nobody imitates. And he. It's dead on. Anyway. All right, I gotta read some advertising here for the podcast. Where are we? Oh, Jesus. I am in airplane mode. Am I in airplane mode, people? Don't you hate it when you need to read your. And you're in airplane mode. All right here. What do we got here? The live reads and you're not going to load, are you? You're not going to load because I'm in airplane mode. And then I'm going to take airplane mode off and then somebody's going to call me. Then it's going to the podcast. All right, here we.

One, the coworker who complains about you not doing enough to your boss despite being a lazy piece of shit themself. All. The brown noser. I like this brown vans for the brown nosers. The type of coworker who always thinks they're doing more than everyone else and uses that to justify being lazy.
Joe Rogan
Exactly. They spend most of their time fucking telling on people. That's what you got to say to them and just be, hey, fuck. Hey, fuck face. That's how you talk to somebody who doesn't fucking respect you at all.
Bill Burr
You go face, ass face, anything insulting.
Joe Rogan
With face, you know, like, I can't even see you as a person. Douche face.
Bill Burr
Hey, cunty, you know, maybe if you, if you worked as hard at your job as you do is telling on people.
Joe Rogan
You brown nose. Oh my God, brown nosers. Wow. That would, that would ease traffic in the morning. If every brown noser was stuck in a van and take it to fucking alligator Alcatraz, even the alligators would just be looking at him like shaking their heads. That's, that's one of the most shameful. One of the most shameful. You know? You know what's funny to you? I do appreciate a kiss ass that just owns up to it. As long as they're not fucking you, you know, bad mouthing you. That's like a hard person to make fun of the person. You're like, dude, you're such a brown nose and piece of. Oh, absolutely, I'm the worst. And then they smile and laugh and they're in on the joke too. And then like, it's like, now what do I do? You're laughing at yourself.
Bill Burr
All right, number two, people who believe in new age spirituality, but not all of them. Only the ones that preach compassion but are still actual selfish ass hats. That's one of my favorite characters out there, the toxic spiritual person. There's a bunch of fucking whores on the social medias that are doing that. You guys just try to remember you know, and they're holding the camera above them and showing off their fucking abs and their fucking, you know, yoga pants up the. Their fucking twats. It's like, this has nothing to do.
Joe Rogan
With you trying to make sure I have a better day. This is about you fucking showing me how beautiful and hot you are. And you're also just like in. Tuned with the world and shut up with your repurposed advice anyway.
Bill Burr
Only the ones that preach compassion but are still actual selfish asshats. The type that acts like they. They've achieved enlightenment when really all they've.
Joe Rogan
Done is discovered that other people have feelings too.
Bill Burr
Finance executives. Need I say more? No, you don't love your work. Keep it up. And that bald head oiled. I love my bald head. You know what's great about having a shaved head?
Joe Rogan
You're always ready to go.
Bill Burr
You know what I mean? All you got to do is just throw on a fucking nice clean shirt and some pants, brush your teeth, and then just start active listening.
Joe Rogan
And you're.
Bill Burr
Right out the door. All of these people, they're flying all the way to Turkey. I get flying to Turkey to experience the culture. Maybe go to the Istanbul symbol factory, maybe have some of the best coffee in the world. I get all of that. But to go over there and to have your hair vacuumed out of the back of your head and then re stapled onto your head and then fly the entire way back to the US Looking like you just fought in the civil war. You ever seen those pictures? They're all bandaged up and on the flight back. It's unreal. I've heard this. Like, women fly.
Joe Rogan
They fly back from Brazil after getting a butt lift and they have to sit backwards on their knees.
Bill Burr
Just do some squats. Do the best you can, you know, Like, I. I don't understand. Like.
Joe Rogan
There was. Somebody got caught because they. They killed somebody.
Bill Burr
And then they.
Joe Rogan
They threw him in like, the chemicals.
Bill Burr
The. The.
Joe Rogan
The big vat of chemicals, like on Breaking Bad. And their whole body dissolved, but they had fake tits. And the. The fake tit bags were still floating in there. And there was a barcode on there. Think about that for a second.
Bill Burr
They threw you.
Joe Rogan
They throw your body into a.
Bill Burr
An oil drum of chemicals that dissolves your whole body, including your bones and your skull. But that fucking fake titty bag and the serial number still survived. And you could still read the fucking number. You're gonna put that in your body?
Joe Rogan
Jesus Christ, people.
Bill Burr
All right?
Joe Rogan
There's nothing wrong with little titties. I'll tell you what they did. There is a problem though with putting a bag of chemicals. Don't they just vacuum fat out of your ass now? Oh my God. Like what if you have too flatter ass? You can't get the fucking titties. They don't have enough fat in there. Then what do they do? You know?
Bill Burr
I don't know.
Joe Rogan
It's a fucking crazy thing. That was me. I had like a little bit of alopecia in the back of my head. Cuz I lived in fight or flight my whole fucking life. I was a lunatic. First 30 years of my life, I was just fucking waiting for the other shoe to drop. So even if I wanted to get hair plugs, I couldn't because the donors were all gone. It was a fucking barren wasteland.
Bill Burr
I'm the male version of a chick with the flat ass that wants to take her ass fat and put it into her titties.
Joe Rogan
It's just like you just don't have any.
Bill Burr
How's that for being spiritual?
Joe Rogan
All right, I gotta handle this and then I'll finish this podcast.
Bill Burr
All right, here we go. Look at that. Look at that. Oh, would you look at the next one? Speak of the devil. Vancouver drug history. Hey, Billy Brushless.
Joe Rogan
I don't know what that means.
Bill Burr
Does that mean I don't own a brush because I'm bald?
Joe Rogan
That's fucking funny. All right.
Bill Burr
Hey, Billy Brushless, the brushless wonder. Here's a quick bit of history on how Vancouver got that way with drugs, or at least one of the main factors. My source is a woman I dated briefly, whose dad is in prison for life and was a relatively high level dealer. She said that years ago, the Vancouver police basically put the word out that as long as the dealer stayed in East Vancouver, right around Chinatown, they pretty much let them operate freely. Just as long as they stayed out of the other neighborhoods to keep property values up. It air quote worked. The nice neighborhoods stayed nice. The poorest neighborhoods got overrun. And that was before fentanyl hit and put the whole thing on fast forward. It's similar to what happened.
Joe Rogan
Sorry, I didn't bring my glasses.
Bill Burr
It's similar to what happened in a lot of cities, but according to her, they were way more explicit about the policy. She told me some wild stories about her dad and God damn, that's a scary man. We didn't go out again after she mentioned that sometimes he'd have her followed on dates in order to keep tabs on her from prison. Thanks for the podcast and go paradiddle yourself. Dude, I felt like you just started to get into the history of it. It's really fascinating, but it's heartbreaking to see. And I also, you know, our country, my country has the same issues.
Joe Rogan
And.
Bill Burr
I just can't imagine what kind.
Joe Rogan
Of pain you're in that you would do. Would do drugs that do that type of stuff to your body, man. I mean, it was like, it was.
Bill Burr
Just the positions that they were like.
Joe Rogan
Nodded off in was painful to look at. Anyway. But everybody's on the wheel. Everybody's running on the wheel and they don't have fucking time to stop.
Bill Burr
And that's the thing about running on the wheels. If you stop. The way the game is set up is that you stop to pull somebody up that fell down, you just get run over too.
Joe Rogan
It feels. Or maybe that's the perception. Who knows?
Bill Burr
Anyway, ex wife bought kid phone to spite me.
Joe Rogan
Oh, man. Yeah, that's. That's a really bad place to be emotionally. When you use your kid to get back at your kid's other parent, that's not never a good thing.
Bill Burr
Hey, Billy Ball bag. Big fan. I caught you a few years back at a casino in San Diego. Don't know if you have ever been in the bar after one of your shows, but it's a trip. One of your degenerate fans on one side of the bar would yell zip. And from the other end of the bar people would respond. Recruiter. Classic. Oh, that's cool.
Joe Rogan
I had no idea.
Bill Burr
All right. Anyhow, about a decade ago, I split from my ex wife. She was injured and became hooked on pain pills. I did everything I could to get my two daughters, but it's California, so. Fuck me. About five years ago. So you get shared custody. About five years ago, she announced she was moving to Austin with them. Again, California. So fuck me, this sucked because I am a super involved father. Weekend campouts, coach, little league, the whole nine yards. My oldest, 14, had a phone for a while now, which makes communication easier, but she's totally addicted to it. About a year ago, I got a call from a random number that I didn't pick up. Turns out it was my 8 year old. My cunt ex mother in law is a Disneyland grandma who buys them shit in place of creating memories. No conversation, no thought of what that will do to her brain. No guardrails in place. My ex uses the phone like a fucking nanny. Yeah, well, she's doing drugs. Yeah, she's also a total narcissist, so any conversation about this would have ended in her screaming into the phone in front of my kids and communication being shut down. Yeah, it's fucking impossible. If I told you how many people I know that are married to or just got divorced from a fucking narcissist and then like, like no matter what, no matter what they'll, they'll, no matter how much the math is against them, they will figure out a way where they are the victim.
Joe Rogan
Always.
Bill Burr
It's like that Charlie Kirk shit, it was literally a white dude killed a white dude that was fucking in house and somehow they were like we are going to figure out a fucking way to blame non white people. And by the end of it white people down on the beach. One of those fucking racist beach towns in California here that everybody thinks is so fucking lab liberal. They were on the fucking the beach town chanting white man fight back. That was their protest about Charlie. A white guy killed a white guy. Fight back against what other white people like it was just like, like the level of fucking hate you have to have for non white people to somehow still blame a non white person when a white person killed another white person is fucking beyond me. Anyways, this person says I'm big into analog shit. I live in the redwoods and we fish and hike and are outdoors a lot. I had to take their phones at night because they would air quote, go to bed and then play on them until three in the morning. To be fair, I'd probably be doing the same thing at their age when they are here for Christmas in the summer. My wife and I set boundaries and limit time. What do you think, Billy boy? Do I try to talk to my ex about this or let sleeping dogs lie? Love to you and the fam and go fuck yourself, lobster britches. P.S. go Celtics. It's a narcissist, dude. There's nothing you can do. It would be hard enough if you were living with her. The fact that she's not you guys aren't together anymore and she lives half a country away. There's really nothing you can do. And if I've learned anything about a narcissist is if you want them to go right, tell them to go left. I mean I'm not saying to tell them, tell them to. They need to use their phones more, which probably would work. She would probably take them away. But that's too much of a gamble.
Joe Rogan
With your kids brains.
Bill Burr
I would think with shared custody you get them half the time. Half the time you just teach them the other way.
Joe Rogan
And you know, I don't know. That's heartbreaking shit.
Bill Burr
It's bad enough the kids went through.
Joe Rogan
A divorce, but they have the narcissist.
Bill Burr
But I really do believe that in the end, the kids figure out.
Joe Rogan
You know, who's the human being and who is just the mentally ill person in the relationship. And then you can kind of fucking, you know, move on from there, I guess. Oh, God. Yeah, dude, that is just the worst case scenario. And there's so many people in that situation where it's like they have shared custody and the other parent is just wildly irresponsible. And the level that the court system kind of seems to be not able to help in those situations.
Bill Burr
Especially if.
Joe Rogan
It'S a female that is doing something wrong. I just feel that. I just feel that, like, the guy is an easy belief, like, he's drinking too much, he's violent, he has a temper. Bubba, they're gonna buy all of that. But the, oh, she's a narcissist and is buying them phones just to spite me and is using the phone as a baby. None of that. They're not gonna care. Because I think that we're all sort of guinea pigs with the Internet, phones and screen time and all of that shit. And I really feel like the same way people are folded over at the waist, you know, doing that. That drug shit, like, eventually somewhere on the addiction spectrum. And as far as, like, this is bad for your health, your quality of life, and the duration of your life will be the level of screen time and what it's doing to your brain and, like, the cognitive disease and shit, I know it's not doing anything good for your brain. Can't be. All right.
Bill Burr
Rats and friends. Hey, Billy the Cheese Whisperer. How you doing, man? I'm writing this because I'm losing my damn mind. And apparently my office is, too. So here's the deal. I started this office with a bunch of filmmaking buddies. Great bunch of guys and girls, super passionate, big dreams, all that. But apparently they all think that we are living in the deleted scene from train spotting. These dudes treat the place like a crime scene. Used cups, plates, snack wrappers. It's disgusting. Now, I'll admit that I'm kind of a neat freak, but come on, I'm not asking for much. Just basic civilization. Water the plants, throw your cups, maybe flush. You know, the fundamentals. Dude, now you have Stockholm syndrome. If you think there's the fact, you know, you're not a neat freak, you're a fucking adult guy. Goes on to say, anyway, I got sick of this mess and hired a maid to Clean the place. She does an amazing job, but she just took a two week leave and suddenly it's like the apocalypse. The awful. The office went from creative workspace to abandoned subway platform. I told everyone on group chat, let's take turns cleaning up. They all go, yeah, totally. Then nobody does. Not a dish, not a wipe, nothing. And then, because karma's got a sense of humor, we discovered that there's a rat in the balcony. Oh, like the fucking Departed.
Joe Rogan
Where the fuck am I here? I just lost my place because this guy was backing up. I thought he was gonna back into the front of my car here.
Bill Burr
Next morning. Okay, one rat. I thought I set up a glue trap with some poisoned bait. Next morning, six. Six rats. It's like they invited their cousin over for a farewell party. Now here's where I lose it. Nobody wants to throw out the trap. Everyone's suddenly squeamish. No, I can't. That's disgusting. Oh, really? You can leave your coffee cup in the sink for a week, but a dead rat is where you draw the line. So now I'm the person who cleans, sets traps, deals with rodents and still gets labeled the uptight one. What do I do, Bill? How do I make these people take some damn responsibility without turning into the office dictator? I just want them to act like adults, not roommates from a frat movie. Anyway, love the podcast. Thanks for being my emotional janitor. I would tell them what you just said. It's just say you guys, I've asked you nicely a bunch of times. I'm picking up after you. I'm not your mother. And then we have rats in here because you're not throwing out your shit. And then none of you guys throw out the fucking dead rats. Okay, forgive me, but I feel like you're taking advantage of me. I don't want to be the office hard ass. And you guys are all saying that I'm fucking uptight. Here's one for you. You guys are a bunch of fucking animals. See, I would lose my shit after a while. I'm cleaning up after you and you're fucking acting like there's something wrong with me. Yeah, I remember that shit.
Joe Rogan
I remember that shit.
Bill Burr
In the 90s, they called it anal retentive. You're anal retentive? No, no, no. I'm an adult. I don't wipe food off onto the floor and then leave it there and then come home to a bunch of fucking roaches looking like they're a coachella. I would say the usual. Just say what you have to say. And don't lose your fucking temper as always. It's one of the hardest things about. Actually one of the hardest things about being right is having to explain to the person that's wrong and hoping that they're somehow going to retain the information that you, not only do you have to deal with their bullshit, you. You now have to figure out a way, take time out of your fucking day to figure out how to convey the information to this other person that is fucking you over. Convey the information in a way that won't be upsetting to them. You know, you actually have to consider them while they have no consideration for you. I mean, that's.
Joe Rogan
That'S, that's really, at the end of the day, you know, what takes years off the fucking odometer.
Bill Burr
Anyways, I gotta go into this meeting. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you to, for the acting work that I just got up in Vancouver. Thank you to everybody in Vancouver. I had a great time, everybody down there on skid row. I hope you clean up. Get your fucking life back. Thanks for all the food and the cups of coffee. I had. I had probably the best time I've had on any acting gig.
Joe Rogan
And I've had a great time over the years. So I'll let you guys know whenever that project is completed and whenever it comes out.
Bill Burr
And with that old Billy Freckles is no more road dates.
Joe Rogan
Well, I mean, I got one up in Bakersfield, but that's up and down, no biggie. But anyway, it's been another great year and did a bunch of acting this year. And now I'm ready to get back into Stand up. I'm doing the Whiskey a Go go on Sunset. I've never played there. I've seen a bunch of shows there.
Bill Burr
Last time I was there, I saw.
Joe Rogan
Def Leppard do their warm up gig before they, they were going either back out or starting out on that baseball tour that they did with Joan Jett, Poison and Motley Cruel. And I love their show and they just have a great vibe. Like they, you know, no dumb stuff. No, no Spinal Tap shit. They're up there. It's business, you know what I mean? They're having a good time, but they know, you know, you paid to see a show and they're gonna give you one. And everybody is in shape and dialed in and they fucking murdered. They fucking murdered. And I remember I saw them in like 1988 in Reynolds Coliseum in On the Hysteria tour with Tesla opening up, I believe on that leg. And I hadn't seen him since, you know, I. A few years after that, I got into stand up, and I went from seeing concerts all the time to very rarely seeing them because I was working on Friday and Saturday nights, you know, And I was also afraid to take a night off that, you know, I could have my big break. But I went out to go see fucking, you know, whoever, right? So anyway, it's an honor to. To go down there.
Bill Burr
Another time.
Joe Rogan
Went down there, I saw Stephen Adler's band. I've seen a bunch of people down there that. It's just. It's a fucking legendary place. And I'm gonna go down there and shake the rust off going down there with fucking Dean Del Rey, baby. We're gonna have a good time.
Bill Burr
All right, that's it. Go fuck yourselves and I'll check in on you on Thursday.
Joe Rogan

Burr thanks Vancouver, teases future stand-up dates, reminisces about legendary rock venue Whisky a Go Go, and signs off with his usual mix of self-deprecation and gratitude—wishing the best for struggling folks on "skid row" and hoping, as always, that listeners are ready for a fresh helping of his unsparing (yet oddly affectionate) take on the world.
Raw, profane, self-deprecating, but often sentimental. Burr veers from outrage to vulnerability—never staying too long in one emotional lane—anchored by sharp wit and an unmistakably blue-collar Boston perspective.
