What is Bill Burr's Thursday Afternoon Podcast about?
Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr. It's time for Thursday afternoon, just before Friday, Monday morning podcast. And I'm just checking in on you. Checking in on you. Seeing how your week's going. Are you staying away from the news, man? Starting that shit. I had a fucking great night last night. Oh, well, good for you, Bill. Glad you had a great fucking night. Why don't you rub it in everybody's faces? I went out and I did a couple of spots. Really liked the New York Comedy Club on the Lower East Side, man. Great room, you know? So I went down there and I don't know.
How does Bill Burr approach comedy and stand-up routines?
I tried out. I had this new joke I was trying out that I had such hope for. You know, it's always, you know, setting yourself up for disaster when you go on stage. Like, oh boy, oh boy. Oh, way to get a load of this one. Turned out the reference I was talking about, people didn't... It hasn't become mainstream yet, so I had to kind of explain what it was. And then get into the other thing, which slowed it down on the first show. But then I went over to the cellar and... i found a i figured out a funny way to explain it and i can't remember if i did it before or after i just i can't remember i plowed through the joke and then explained it after i think that's what i did i don't know and then i was able to tie something in with that and then tie something else together on something else and um it was uh yeah it was fantastic um
I was psyched, you know, cause I've been doing a lot of standup and, uh, you get rusty quick, but I have been going to my big gay gym.
What are Bill Burr's thoughts on fitness and health?
Um, and, uh, which has been fucking great. I've been going to that every single day, just about, I take one day off a week, um, And, uh, holy shit. I mean, old Freckles, he let himself go. Like, I am, like, dropping weight and all of that, and I still sit down on the couch, and I can grab two fucking cheeseburgers in the front. Like, doubles, too. You know what I mean? Like, those Wendy's ones, where they just keep stacking them up. So, you know, it's funny. I was telling somebody, fuck, man, I got to drop this weight. They're like, you look great. I'm like, I have a winter coat on. Everybody looks great with a winter coat. I'm still going with the guys wearing shorts. I saw a guy wearing, like, short shorts.
Like the ones guys used to wear when they ran marathons in the 1980s. Remember those, like, those fucking, like, nylon? And then it's cut up, like, the side a little bit. Like, you know, oh, behave, right? But what's funny, as I see this guy, he's got those short shorts on. But then he has, like, one of those fucking... You ever see those homeless people winter coats? Like, the I Sleep Outside fucking coats? He's got one of those on and a big fucking hat. So like it's if you run hot, why don't you just wear a windbreaker? Why does everybody have to look at your stupid man legs as you walk up the goddamn street? It doesn't make any fucking sense. Then I'm thinking like, well, your face is always exposed and your face gets used to it. So maybe their legs do. I don't know. I don't know what it is.
I still think a lot of it is like an attention thing or they went on Instagram and You know that that long haired guy who can like jump into the Arctic Ocean and swim around and scientists are baffled because he does like this, this alkaline breathing or whatever the fuck it is. And he doesn't freeze to death. And they're sort of baffled by that. And he's like, no, yeah, I'm alkaline breathing like alkaline to me was something that was used when you were talking about a battery. And I don't mean a salt and. I just mean a battery. That you would put into something that needed to be battery operated. See what I just did there? I explained the reference. That's what I have to do in that fucking joke. Did you feel all the momentum? The momentum go out of this fucking podcast? Anyway, so... Very excited. I have a little bit of a break from rehearsal starting tomorrow. So I'm going to... Give me a ticket on an aeroplane.
Going to play the Wheel of Fortune game. I'm going to go home and see my family and I cannot fucking wait. I'm hoping they are as excited to see me as I am as excited to see them. That would be a real fucking...
