Shaking ladders. Come on bill, it was YOUR routine. You guys never see a guy on a ladder and just want to go up and start shakin it just to do it. I rarely physically laugh even when I think something is funny, bill , you have me laughing like a lunatic in an empty room, I love it. Thank you.

[@Giorgi.Japiashvili]

When you 'think it's funny' and don't actually laugh, it means that you don't think it's funny.

[@sneesus98]

Giorgi Japiashvili not necessarily the case some people can find something funny but having anxiety or depression and shit like that prevents them from laughing

[@kylecoucke943]

Too bad he ain’t readin this

[@Giorgi.Japiashvili]

@Roy Jones Jr. Well, then I'm very sorry that you've never experienced a laugh in your life. Laughing means that you can't control it and it happens to you, like... a sneeze. Anything other than that is not a laugh, for demonstration purposes compare Jimmy Fallon with any guest and Conan when his guest is Bill Burr.

Observing your negative thoughts as a 3rd party and replacing them with a positive activity is actually really great advice

Stop using those Goth death metal words-. Hahahahahaha I totally lost my shit there lmfao

[@londonghoulchannel6409]

I really appreciate this, I am 26 and have no family and crap education so stuck in dead end jobs, but this gave me a little hope. I hope that anyone who is suffering from depression watching this gets through it to the other side, stay strong and dont give up.

[@londonghoulchannel6409]

@Sarah thanks right back at you, stay strong never give up.

[@et5895]

I'm 25 & i don't have any family either. I hope you're doing well. I'm just now starting to get out of this depressive mentality

[@nickskarvig8925]

Your method for fighting depression was eerily similar to my own. Not the food stuff, but the observing it, figuring out how that shit worked. Admittedly I did do my best to frame my depression as an enemy, something that was sneakily fucking shit up. So I turned my angry loose on my depression in that way, it seems to have helped quite a bit.

[@muraveqt]

Seriously, what he says at 6:00 - that is the ultimate absolute Best advice /words ever.. I wanted to write the same email to ask Bill what he'd say about depressive thinking and this freakin Killed it!!... *BOW*

[@ragincajun212]

Im literally in a cubical practicing a Boston accent.

[@anonony9081]

Bill basically did cognitive behavioral therapy on himself. Look it up if you have anxiety or depression, it could help you.

[@jayflemz3149]

He also mentioned he talked with a therapist. It might have helped him too.

[@farge381]

+Jay Flemz He also mentioned he bailed on that like four seconds later. I think he followed with how it didn't help much.

[@bijujacob7060]

Bill Burr rocks! Going through a tough time personally. He reinforced some of the ideas I was slowly coming up with to get out of my funk- eat right, exercise, be mindful of your own thoughts. That's a great start.

[@iTsStEpHyyyy]

Yeah dude! Trust me, eating right and working out does help. Also think positively about stuff and try to do things that make you happy. Find the positive in bad events, you'll walk a little higher! c:

The ladder is in one of bill's bit and he doesn't know what he's talking about

[@jayoshann]

the shaking ladders is in reference to a bit you did about how sometimes you just snap and wanna shake a ladder. the difference between a psycho and a functional psycho

[@infinitesimotel]

"Adult rape me in the eyes" LOOOOOOL. I needed you years ago BB.

[@htxflow]

Was he impersonating someone when he said that. I'm not sure but it got me crying laughing

[@TheVino3]

[@psychicbyinternet]

Lol Bill Burr recommends positive thinking when he's made a career off of negative thinking.

[@LolFishFail]

+Genevieve55 I think that's the definition of positivity.

[@psychicbyinternet]

Fair enough. When life gives you lemons...

[@mattm1982]

+Genevieve55 True but there's a difference between being negative towards yourself and your future and being negative towards the comings and going of society. I think Bill is a happy and confident guy, and I believe being happy with yourself is extremely important. If you're happy with yourself, but have some negative views about the world it's not gonna make you depressed. From what I understand from his podcast he didn't used to have the same mentality about himself.

[@johangrostkerck6046]

Genevieve55 You fuckin' cut'em in half and then you fuckin' skin them! Or even better: You rip all o' their flesh and juice out of them 'till there's nothing left but the fucking skin!

this is probably the best advice for depression I've ever heard.

[@annchovie8748]

Fuckin shit bill. If I ever end up doing stand up on tv its because I heard this podcast at the right time. Bill has saved me

[@vicentegoncalves520]

I wonder why I never see a comment that says: "Hey, I'm the man who wrote to you, Bill!"

[@omgstoptakingnames]

rofl i love how bill makes fun of this guy's choice of words haha it does sound like song lyrics

[@ramone2185]

I had a lot of the same issues in 2009. Since then, I started working out & eating better. Now my confidence & self-esteem is through the roof. I highly recommend it. I started because working out was a GREAT way to relieve stress. Now I can't imagine stopping.

[@sirblankenship]

Bill casually throwing out the advice of cbt and mindfulness to treat depression. Well known treatment methods for this disorder.

I had a really crazy wacky sense of humor when I was stuck in Saudi-Arabia and Iraq during the first gulf war. I think what drove that humor was how horribly miserable I was. When I came back to the world, the humor toned down a lot but I was a hell of a lot happier.

[@BayAreaMike99]

[@itsMattydud3]

This is like if Kevin from "F is for family" wrote an email to bill in the future

[@fightington]

John kabbat zinn is the best mindfulness teacher i've come across. He defines mindfulness as "mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and non judgmentally." Anyway consider that depression is not an emotion, there is a real emotion, prob rage

[@janglestick]

this is pretty darn good advice regarding depression it seems to me. I've heard Burr be insightful before, but not ummmm sensitive, like this. yep. I wonder does he know how much the process he describes at the end resembles vipassana meditation? Does anyone know if Bill Burr meditates?

[@kshapla]

Bill, this is seriously good advice! I can't believe you mention diet. So important in how we feel, but totally overlooked. Eat like shit, feel like shit.

[@theMondayMorningPodcastClips]

As well as it should

[@thuurmans]

"shaking ladders" he refers to your own joke.

[@gd1846]

Is this dude the inspiration for Kevin Murphy?? 🤣

[@MattMesha]

Thought the same thing 🤣

[@whodoyouwanttobe7979]

Bill forgot his own bit about shaking ladders...LOL

[@EcheChanga]

thats real bill discipline somthing u like may not be somthing you like going to do everyday somedays u wanna lay down u cant though,

[@JP-ATV]

I Can back Burr up on this one. I started feeling bad - What did i do? EAT WELL AND WORK OUT. Feeling great!

[@painxtreme]

Ive known some that cannot even muster the will to write their name. Clinical Depression isn't something you can discipline your way out of. CB Therapy is a non-starter for most, because we already search for rationale in thoughts we may have, Anti-Depressants are a non-starter for myself, & I would wager many, but I have seen them work wonders. I think Group Therapy is best, because you are in a group that understands it first hand, not learning of it from instructors & case histories.

[@MINIMAKAV3LI]

Hahaha bill wen he says shaking ladders. Hes referring to that bit in ur special Why Do I Do This

[@WreeckCreational]

Haha, that bit about death metal was funny as fuck. Yeah, the way this guy wrote this is annoying.

[@sllabotehtllaw]

"Pursue a career in comedy"? I'm pretty sure he's already made it to the top

[@Hiosho]

shaking ladders is a reference to bills show called "Why i do this" where he asked the crowd if no one ever thinks about "shaking a ladder" when walking by and someone is standing on it...just a guess

[@tOOballs]

haha i was jawb in my cubicle

[@shnoogums1]

Wow what kind words bill

How does Bill not get a reference to his own special?? Lmao

"Shaking ladders" that was the game invented by Michael J fox

[@NiftyFingers]

I fucking lost it at 5:27 i have no idea why.... lol man grocery stores are not giant walk in cupboards/refrigerators you're right Bill haha. God damn depressed going to the store, see some oreos or whatever, buy that, go home, eat it, have no energy, feel depressed and hungry, go back to the store, rinse and repeat like a fucking idiot. Ahahaha man fuck that i eat oatmeal as much as i can and the outside pulls me to it and i try to bring others into the light haha. But we all get depressed man.

Honestly, if you eat healthier, and stop eating stuff like kfc completely, you'll feel instant improvements. However, I'm not certified in anything nor have i ever been depressed , but we all have those crappy days, and eating a mango or an apple can made you feel better right away

You also need sun, since the sun give nutrients ((I think) which humans need. Which is why the suicide rate in Seattle Washington is so high, very cloudy, gloomy and always raining over there.

[@JaiUneGuruDeja]

I think that "wet wipes" is one of those references that, if you admit that you know what he means, then you must be using them.
