My guest Bill Burr was recently described by New York Times comedy columnist Jason Zinnemann as one of the greatest living stand-up comics. In Rolling Stone, Burr was described as the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage-fueled humor. Bill Burr has a new comedy special on Hulu called Drop Dead Years. Here's an excerpt. He's talking about driving on the freeway in L.A.
where he lives when he's caught in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Meanwhile, there's hardly any cars in the HOV lane, the high-occupancy vehicle lane, which is reserved for vehicles with at least two people. He's tempted to get into that lane even though there's no one else in his car, but he knows the HOV rules are strictly enforced.
Okay, that's Bill Burr from his new comedy special. He's also one of the stars of the new Broadway revival of the David Mamet play, Glengarry Glen Ross. The revival has an incredible cast, Burr, Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Michael McKean. Burr co-starred in the film King of Staten Island, which was loosely based on the life of the film's star, Pete Davidson.
Bercow created, co-wrote, and starred in the animated series F is for Family. Although he's known for comedy that's often contrarian and angry, the new comedy special, Drop Dead Years, opens like this.
Bill Burr, welcome to Fresh Air. It's a pleasure to have you on the show.
I'm good. It seems unusual for you to start on a note of vulnerability like you do in this new special. Does this mark a change in your public or private self?
So who was the person who told you? Was it your wife, your therapist?
At the start of your new special, you said that you started doing stand-up because it was the easiest way of walking into a room and making people like you.
So what kind of hurt? Are you talking about insults or being ignored, bullied, mocked?
Have you been abused in all those ways?
Because it was mean?
I want to back up a little because when you were describing your anger and trying to like change, you said you realized you'd been abusive. Do you mean verbally or physically?
Good. I just wanted to clarify that.
Well, that's one of the things you've talked about, is that you had real road rage sometimes.
And who's the they? Besides people who eat almonds?
You can take him on.
Okay.
I'm going to stop you. You just blamed all of this on white women. Yes. Where are the men in what you're saying?
This is where you kind of lose me.
Well, no, because the Me Too movement for women is about sexual assault.
