[@shinHis3]

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat If I had to guess having something else to "get addicted to" helps w the alcoholism. As for the depression I'd say laughter helps a lot in dealing w hardships. I watched Band of Brothers when I was just entering college. I can't prove it, but seeing the characters in that series have a sense of humor in some of the darkest moments helped me develop my own sense of humor and prob helped me deal w situations I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. At first I only adopted the sense of humor bc I thought it was cool, but later on I think it unironically helped me be a better person and not take yourself too seriously in times of hardship. Everyone goes through these things. You're not special for suffering.

I like that Bill exhibits a level of common sense. I am an American living in the UK and had to go back to the States this summer and I thought I would see transgender folks everywhere, people whinging about pronouns, and all sorts of madness and when I came in through ATL - a huge airport - it was the same old America, with nuclear families and people walking around, getting along. Same for my trip up to New England. It's social media that is the problem. America is still America, the land of opportunity, where people live in towns and cities, work, tend to their friends and families, the live free. Reduce Internet time, go get some sun, hang with loved ones, and live life. Thanks Bill for keeping it real and sane!

[@TheMelonFarmers123]

@@Thesteadfast you’re not wrong but I think bill is kind of not in that lane as much as people give him credit for. Bill is a comedian first, and a lot of people who are pushing against or for the “woke” agenda wants to know everyone’s take or how their comedy can speak “truth to power” and I just don’t think that’s how bill sees comedy. There was a similar dynamic on rogan when these guys were on, I actually think it was the exact idea of one of them saying “comedy is speaking truth to power” and rogan quickly quipped back, correctly imo, that “comedy is what’s funny.” And I just think that idea isn’t triggernometrys brand. Bill just kind of does his own thing and if that touches into politics, alright, but I wouldn’t call him a “political” figure like most of the guests on triggernometry. A lot of the conservatives like bill because he “tells it like it is” and a lot of the libs like him because politically he does seem to lean more left. But like he’s just Bill. This at the beginning gave me similar vibes to the h3 bill burr podcast which was awkward af, but throughout the interview, and credit to the trig guys for doing this, the conversation steered less from current political affairs and ideas towards comedy from bills perspective. From that point on it was a splendid interview.

I was so scared my kids would be taken from me by social services. I was always working and leaving them alone. Bill really puts perspective into his stories that help to explain how crazy life can be. My son is very worried that the youth today are so vapid and lack resilience.

He used to be cool, but now he sucks and even his comedian friends are starting to express their disappointment with him. He basically became a mouth piece for his demented Feminist wife and the comedy he makes now sounds like "black woman comedy". He sounds like Wanda Sykes, only talking about how shitty white women are, but acting as if black women's shit wouldn't stink. It is the same thing that happened to Kevin Smith. Every time some decently cool and based normal dude marries one of those clueless ideologue, buzzword spouting Feminists, it is funny for a while, with them disagreeing on everything but still sticking it out together for some reason and he uses the dumb shit his wife says for comedy, until they have a daughter and suddenly the dude turns into a sad woke clown who acts as if the world and his friends around him would have changed to the worse and he is all enlightened now, while it is all just him being pussy whipped into idiocy.

There are untold numbers of people who have to keep their mouth shut in all sorts of industries or they will literally lose their livelihoods.

54… “old” … Hmmm.

[@andrewmowbray7035]

@@kenlewis2253 relax Ken. I just saw his standup routine last weekend and he had a ten minute bit about being old. And how when people call him middle age he tells them to do the math. 54x2 is 108 and he’s not making if that far. I don’t think 54 is elderly, I play soccer with dudes in their 50s who hold their own. But even bill would call himself an old guy

[@voodoochile333]

Now Bill is at the top of the tree, he doesn't believe in cancel culture. With those lucrative TV and movie roles, he won't bite the hand that feeds.

[@freedomprophet2597]

He was saying the same thing 5,10 years ago. So cut the bs just to write something. If there was a comic who was saying there is no cancel culture, it's 20 people who get mad when a joke comes to their neck of the woods, it is him.

Interesting interview, more for the dynamics going on throughout. Good to see FF step in and keep things alive while unusually KK seemed to take a back seat which I think was for the better on this occasion. Difficult to interview someone like Burr who doesn't need to be there and doesn't seem to actually want to be there, but it was still a good interview.

[@_abracadabra]

This interview is like a Rorschach test for Bill Burr fans. Some folks see him as defensive, while many of us would say that this is the most chill, laid-back version of Burr we've ever seen.

[@keyontedollison8547]

Don't get treated like a fan

[@ExeErdna]

There's a point you realize yelling shit ain't gonna get shit done because people have all the infomation they need and still choose to be whom they are. You have to chill at times you can't be on full tilt forever, it's unhealthy.

[@Bjorn_R]

I love that Bill is happier, he is my favorite comedian, but I still think his angry rants are his funniest bits.

[@CHuzz7777]

I don’t really know why Burr signs up for these interviews. I’m only ten minutes in but he seems not to want to be there and not to want to talk about much.

[@Thesteadfast]

Thankfully it gets better when they move on to family and comedy. I think he just super misread what their podcast is about.

[@GerardPerry]

I think he basically has the Adam Carolla policy, i.e. he just shows up upon invitation to any podcast.

[@lovepeacebliss]

Thats bill burr

[@jackhumphries6687]

Thats how he always seems. Nothing different.

[@Hartinmouston5158]

It makes sense. The energy and “anger” he exerts on stage. I’d say this is him in recharge mode.

Does the comment section on a KZbin video count? I never go there. It’s horrible.

[@xxnoobslayeriv]

It is so funny seeing people who do not know Bill. This is your podcasters favourite comedian. He is always like this. Just goes to show, and is common from left to right, they always expect Bill to be their favorite highlights and he lets both down. He is NOT about triggering the left, although he does often. Some people are just less obsessed with the cultural war, and these two light weights have made a career of it.

[@piettejd2000]

Bill's become a cranky old man who missed his lunch.

[@suzygirl1843]

What? Quite the opposite. He's less angry and much more demure than his earlier years.

[@Soliduq]

Seems the opposite, like he's mellowed out with age.

This was a great episode!!! Bill burr doin this podcasts and Breakfast Club, mixed with his stand up specials in KZbin, It’s a great marathon!!!

I love the noise in his head it's your conscience bill. Love how he thinks about depression and thinks about life.

In fairness, it may have also been a strategy (possibly even unconsciously) to help Bill feel more comfortable since Bill seemed quite defensive.

[@pandaballsocial9828]

Love Bill Burr! Brilliant! “Everyone is screaming and yelling about shit that doesn’t matter.” The country is divided, left and right… “Yeah, that’s not real.” The best!

[@maxpolaris99]

The most important divide is not left / right. It's authoritarian / libertarian.

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

That's pretty accurate

[@antirealist]

The true complexity of reality will always outstrip our ability to categorize it. So any classification we come up with will always be insufficient or over simplified. That being said, while it's true that most people are dichotomized into "left" and "right" there also exists the "libertarian" and "authoritarian" divide you mention. However, we do know that people who are "left" trend toward "authoritarian" and vice versa, and that people who tend toward "libertarian" track toward "right" and vice versa. So I'm not sure if there's any one "most important" divide as there are many divides with some overlapping.

I love Bill and have been a fan of the MM podcast for years and I hate to say this but Bill's comedy is not the same it used to be, call it maturity or compassion or the Hollywood's spell but Bill has kinda lost his touch and as a massive Burr fan this hurts a lot. I guess nothing stays the same forever 😔

It's his wife. 100% his wife.

[@D4n1t0o]

So true.

For God sake the man is now 54! If he stayed in the same angry frustrated young man character, he would have become a silly irrelevant caricature. He evolved as his life did, while others’ lives probably didn’t.

[@roadshow69]

@@MChiave Maybe, but the evolved Bill just isn't as funny. Same goes for any comedian who is being careful with subject matter and holding back.

[@MChiave]

@@roadshow69 I understand, and I still show people old clips of Burr as an introduction. But I don’t believe that he is being careful, he just changed as we all do between our 20s & 50s. Those comedians who didn’t evolve lost everything and what remained of them is just a fairytale; and a lot of them died of an overdose or simply became irrelevant like Dice. Most of young Bill’s fans (who pay for his bills) have probably overcome their frustrations by now and built a a good life, and they’re experiencing the same transitional emotions as he does and still enjoying his comedy. He made the genuine and right move. Plus the full on woke people don’t like him either, and ofc the Anthony Cumia fanboys who like trashing his wife as if she’s Yoko who destroyed their favorite boy band.
