And I had my hour was further along. Yeah. Every other time I feel like my hour just started and I did Red Rocks. Because it's always at the beginning of routing. Routing always starts in September, August, September.
And I'd always, because of the weather, you got to do it September, October.
Yeah, because I used to go there for Easter service. Like you could go to Red Rocks and watch the sunrise and they do Easter service. My mom was raised Catholic. So that was like her thing that she wanted to do. Hated it as a child because you have to wake up at like four in the morning.

Chapter 3: What are the memorable experiences at Red Rocks?
Oh yeah, to get to Red Rocks. To get to Red Rocks from Aurora and then sit in the freezing cold. And then they're just talking about Jesus while the sun comes up. And all these old people that have done drugs and fucked without condoms are going like,

When I did my HBO special, I had a long joke about my dad died of alcoholism, but he was a Jimmy Buffett fan, so it was fun. That was the whole point. It was like, my dad died of drinking, but he's a parrot head, so it was a fucking blast. So I can't cry about it. So I had a whole joke, and the joke was like, I had a joke about my friends losing their parents in 9-11.
It was a joke about Pete Davidson's dad, about his dad was a firefighter, and he was like, I need to save those people. And my dad's last words were, I like mine with lettuce and tomato. So I did this. Sypha Sounds was DJing my taping at the Bowery Ballroom. This is 2019 for my HBO special. At the end of my set, he's just fucking DJing. I didn't tell Sypha to do anything.
I was like, you're one of the greatest DJs of all time. You just let it rip. He finishes the first show and he fucking hits Margaritaville as I'm going off stage. My mom, everybody that I know, but my mom, especially when I saw her, she was like, you have to close with Margaritaville. She was like, the way it hits after that joke, it's such like, it's an extra punchline. It's like the joke hits.
So I was like, yeah, you're right. So I asked HBO. I was like, I would love Margaritaville. Is this on the special that you shot at the Trocadero?

Chapter 4: How do personal stories influence comedy material?
Yeah. And I stand by them. They're all good. See, I would say I regret all of two specials. All of two specials. Yeah, I regret doing anything except the HBO special and my YouTube one that we put out in 2024. YouTube one was fucking phenomenal.
Thanks, but those... The YouTube one was... Hang on. YouTube one was fucking phenomenal. And I would say the reason it was phenomenal is you were on this tear where it was like, you want... I'm saying this to younger comics. You want other comics to be talking about how good you're getting. That is the thing. I remember hearing Ari, of all people, whispering to someone about me. Yeah.
And I remember hearing it, overhearing it, and going... And by the way, I think, I mean, in that group was like a wild group of comics and he was like, no, if you're having a problem with story, you should go to Burt. Burt is one of the best storytellers. I've heard Ari say that directly himself. Yeah, and so, but you want that.
And if people aren't saying that about you, hold off on your special. Yeah. And by the way, I gotta be honest with you, people haven't said that about me in a while.
You know what's funny about that is because I think we're in this different realm now where if you aren't putting out stuff consistently, people forget about you. And what sucks about that is it's crazy you're bringing this up because I had this exact fucking feeling this morning while I'm looking at my phone taking a dump and I was like, oh yeah, the art of going away is gone.
How excited, like when you announced when you announced your show, I knew you were filming it because we had been texting in Atlanta, so I knew what was going on. Also, you were on social media.
I was trying to get you on as the guy.
Yeah, and then we were texting about it, and then I knew you wrapped or whatever, but then it kind of went away, the excitement I was when you were like, show's coming out, and you go like, oh shit, it's so fun. I think what has happened is, behind the scenes has became front of the, like everyone. Okay, this is a brilliant conversation.
So no, because, okay, so here's what happened. Money got in the way of everything. Sure.

Chapter 5: What happens during the awkward elevator ride with Shannon Sharp?
I'm high as fuck, dude. Shannon Sharp is a very large man. Very large man. And he stands directly next to me. Derek is on my right. Shannon Sharp is on my left. And I'm very high. And Shannon Sharp looks over at Derek and he goes, Derek, I know what you've been doing. I ain't going to tell your daddy. That's all he says. And I went, and that fucking elevator ride.
I was like, Shannon Sharp knows I'm fucking stoned. Shannon Sharp knows I'm stoned. I ain't going to tell your daddy. And his mouth was right here. So I watched him go. I ain't going to tell your daddy like that. And I was like, Oh, and then I'm like, we get off the elevator. I'm like, Derek, are we in trouble? Are we? Cause this is like, weed's still a drug. It's not now. It's still a drug.
So we're like, I'm like, Derek, are we fucking in trouble? He's like, no man, Shannon cool as hell.
Chapter 6: How do Bert and Dan feel about their experiences in comedy?
He ain't going to say shit. And then we're just chilling. And then he goes, come on, let's go out to practice. And we just walk through the locker room. So there's just Al Wilson, buck ass naked. DJ Williams is like getting dressed. All these guys that you're like, all star, all star, all star. Shannon Sharp is getting ready for practice. His locker is open. And Derek's friends with him.
So Derek comes over and he goes, what's up, Shannon? And he goes, oh, this is one of them Jacob the Jeweler watches. Remember those with the face where they had the yellow, red, and blue? Yeah. And Derek goes, can I put that on? And Shannon, we're high as fuck. Shannon goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, put it on, Derek. And Derek's like, damn, this is nice.
And then Shannon goes, have your little white friend put it on. Like that. And I put it on, and I have skinny wrists, and it's just sliding. But I, for a moment, lost myself in the moment, and I was going like, I was doing the P. Diddy mace from Mo' Money, Mo' Problems. And then I look down, and Shannon starts looking at me like, what the fuck? And I go, this is very nice.
And then I went outside to watch practice.
Chapter 7: What insights do they share about the evolution of their careers?
But that was the most... I was like, the most awkward high I've ever been in being like, Shannon Sharp fucking knows I'm ripped. But he's cool as shit. He's cool as shit. I've loved Shannon Sharp ever since. And then he went to the Ravens. He was the fucking man.
He's one of the... It was one of the... It was one interview I've been wanting to do. This is an interview I've been wanting to do. Your show's murdering, right? I mean, just, I don't know. I wonder what the sweet sauce in podcasting is.
You know what I think it is? I think it's being genuine. Being excited about it? Being genuine. Like, I only have people on my podcast that I want to talk to.
I'm doing that so with BurtCast, I denied ad sales this year. That's fucking big. That's what we did for the first six months.
Chapter 8: What are the key takeaways from their discussion on friendship in comedy?
I can only speak for myself right now.
We did that for the first six months. I'm not taking ads. I'm just going to do a podcast. I'm going to have my friends on or whatever. And then it truly is the thing. It's all come back down to middle school and getting girls. If you don't want them, they want you. If you go, I don't want it, they go...
But why? I got really lucky in a couple of people that I got on early in their careers in music that went on to be a little bigger. Marcus King, Red Clay Strays.
A couple, yeah. Yeah, fucking Jelly Roll. Stephen Wilson Jr. Stephen Wilson Jr. is the fucking man. Everyone needs to listen to Stephen Wilson Jr. That song, Gary, if you have a problem with your father... Go listen to Stephen Wilson Jr. Goose.
I got a few bands that I really liked. And then some more legacy acts like Warren Haynes. Warren Haynes is the fucking man.
And everyone should watch the Opie and Anthony where he plays the guitar and Patrice sings.
It's so good.
Yeah, it's really fun.
And when I went to Nashville, I did... He was in Government Mule?
