>> James: THERE WE GO.
>> ALL RIGHT, WE DID IT.
>> James: WE'RE DOING IT.
SO LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
GLENN, SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK, BILL, YOUR FIRST TIME
HERE.
SO MANY FANS HERE TO SEE YOU.
>> HEY, HOW ARE YOU, HOW IS IT GOING.
>> James: YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER, YOU GO BACK A BIT
TOGETHER WITHIN I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I WAS BILL'S BOSS FOR
A SECOND THERE.
WE DID A FAILED PILOT.
>> YEAH.
>> THIS IS LIKE A THEME WITH YOU.
YOU DIDN'T WIN THE GRAMMY, YOU GT A FAILED PILOT.
THE WHOLE ANGLE, SO DEPRESSED BY THE TIME WE GET OUT HERE.
>> James: BRING OUT BILL'S FIRST GIRLFRIEND.
BRING HER OUT.
>> YEAH, WE HAD AN IDEA FOR A SHOW WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A
LITTLE AHEAD OF ITS TIME, RIGHT BEFORE CANCEL CULTURE AND IT WAS
ABOUT A SPORTSCASTER, I WAS ON THE ROAD AND SAW THIS GUY THAT
USED TO BE ON ESPN AND WAS IN SOME SUPER8 AND SAW THIS GUY
DOING LOCAL SPORTS AND I THOUGHT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS
GUY.
HE MUST HAVE SAID THE WRONG THING ON ESPN AND GOT BUSTED ALL
THE WAY DOWN, WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE TO BE THAT GUY.
SO WE ENDED UP COMING UP WITH A SHOW BASED OFF OF A GUY LIKE
THAT.
I THINK HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT WOMEN IN THE USC, DO THAT IS HOW
WE GOT BUSTED, DO YOU FEEL THE AWKWARDNESS, YEAH.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT DIDN'T GET PICKED UP.
I THINK IT WAS TOO REAL.
I THINK THAT THAT IS WHAT IT IT WAS.
>> James: HOW WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER WHEN YOU
WERE FILMING THE PILOT.
DID YOU IMMEDIATELY GET ON, YOU TWO.
>> CONSTANTLY BUTTING HEADSK CONSTANTLY BUTTING HEAD, COULD
NOT COME TO TERMS ON ANYTHING.
STILL DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER TO THIS DAY.
>> NO, NO, NO, BILL'S GREAT.
NO, WE HAD A BLAST.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
>> YEAH, WE HAD A GREAT TIME.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE CONFUSING ONES.
THEY WERE JUST LIKE YEAH, LOOKED GREAT, NO.
BACK TO YOUR HOLES.
JUST LIKE ALL RIGHT, COOL.
I THOUGHT-- YOU KNOW.
>> James: BUT BILL NOW, YOU JUST LEARNED ARE YOU HEADIG OUT
ON A HUGE TOUR, THE BILL BURR ARENA TOUR WHICH IS INCREDIBLE.
>> YEP.
>> James: YOU WEREN'T ALWAYS-- WE FOUND THIS, YOU GAVE
US THIS NOTE HERE THAT YOU GOT TALKING ABOUT THIS, THE NOTE
SAYS CAN YOU WRAP IT UP, FIVE MINUTES, LISA BROWN, THIS IS A
NOTE THAT YOU KEPT.
WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THIS?
>> IT IS A NOTE I FOUND, I DIDN'T REALIZE, I KEPT IT TO
SHOW IT TO MY FRIENDS.
I SHOW FOUND IT.
I WAS DOING A COLLEGE GIG, SOMETHING CALLED A NOONER, IT IT
WAS BASICALLY LIKE IN A CAFETERIA DURING THE MIDDLE OF
THE DAY, NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA THERE IS GOING TO BE A SHOW.
AND YOU GET LIKE THE WORST INTRO.
YOU KNOW YOU ALWAYS DO THE CREDITS, HE'S BEEN ON THIS, ON
THAT, PLEASE WELCOME.
THEY WOULD ALWAYS DO YOUR NAME FIRST.
AND THEY WOULD SAY WE HAVE A COMEDIAN.
HIS NAME IS BILL BURR.
AND HE SAID ON TV AND HERE HE IS.
AND THEN YOU JUST GO OUT AND IMMEDIATELY WOULD JUST BE
BOMBING AND KIDS WERE EATING.
SO I WENT UP THERE REALLY DEFENSIVE.
IT WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY.
AND I JUST WENT UP THERE JUST CHOPPING PEOPLE'S HEADS OFF
BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO THROW FOOD AT ME.
SO I STARTED AK TAKING THE CROWD.
>> James: HOW LONG, HOW LONG.
>> I DID, I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AN HOUR, I DID 20 MINUTES.
I REMEMBER ONE, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT DIDN'T GET A LAUGH.
THERE WAS A GUY WITH A COWBOY HAT WEARING A SUIT.
AND I GO LOOK AT THIS GUY, LOOKS LIKE HE'S TRYING TO GET A LONE
FOR A HOSER.
AND IT GOT NOTHING.
>> James: A GOOD JOKE.
>> IT WAS ALL RIGHT IT GOT NOTHING.
AND IT IT WAS TOO LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS DOWD CAME UP AND HANDED ME THAT
NOTE AND THAT WAS THE WOMAN THATK BOOED ME AND SAID CAN YOU
WRAP IT IT UP IN FIVE MINUTES.
SO THEN I WAS THINKING WAIT A MINUTE, I'M CONTRACTUALLY
OBLIGATED TO DO AN HOUR.
IS THIS HOW THEY GET OUT OF PAYING ME.
I WAS ON STAGE IN THE CAFETERIA, ARE YOU STILL GOING TO PAY ME, I
STILL GET PAID.
>> HOW OLD WERE YOU.
>> LIKE 35.
>> OH.
>> YEAH, NOT THAT LONG AGO.
>> NO, I'M 53.
IT IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET HERE.
SO YEAH, 35, SLEEPING ON A PUTON DOING THOSE GIGS AND THEY WERE
NIGHTMARESK NIGHTMARE GIGS AND THAT WOMAN WAS A SAINT, THAT
LISA BROWN.
I OWE HER A THANK YOU BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE ANY MORE FUN
FOR THE NEXT 40 MINUTES, SHE GOES THIS IS A BAD IDEA, A
MISTAKE, SORRY.
AND I FELT BAD, LIKE I SORRY I MADE FUN OF THAT GUY IN THE SUIT
AND SHE GAVE ME THE CHECK AND I JUST DROVE OFF IN LIKE A DODGE
NEON, I THINK.
>> James: LOOK AT THAT.
