Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday.

October 8th, 2018. What's going on? Oh, yeah. How's it going? I am, I am good. How are you? Oh, my God. That is great.

Get barely here myself. I'm out here on the road. I don't have all my podcasting equipment. Oh, Bill, you really get you going to come in with the excuses on Monday.

Morning, maybe. Yeah, yeah. I'm still here in Boston after a whirlwind tour of the New England state Springfield, Boston and then Bridgeport, Connecticut.

I want to thank everybody that came out. You know, and then travel weekend. Most people I've ever performed to over a three day period in my career and could not have gone any better.

Thank you so very much. I was in, I did the Boston Garden to TD Bank, North Garden on Friday night in the round, got together with some buddies of mine.

I used to jam with back in the day and we played in the empty arena. I just had the best time ever. Right. So anyways, you know, I walk in. It's fucking places huge. It's like Jesus Christ.

You know, you make a little bit of noise in there. So it's not as nerve wracking. Then you calm down a little bit. You get comfortable.

And then all of a sudden the people start coming and it fills up. And then you get nervous again. Right. So I had Tony V, the great Tony V, the guy who taught me.

Basically, how to write by not writing.

First guy I met her didn't write shit down. And I was like, well, what if you forget a joke? And he was just like, well, means it's time to stop doing it. I just thought it was such a fucking badass cabalir attitude.

It was like, I want to be like that guy. So anyways, I worked with him and Paul Verzi. So they both go up. And they just act in like they're just doing a regular spot. And they're fucking murdering both of them murdering.

You know, Verzi was stuck in traffic. Yeah, I think he had a double park or something before he went in there. So I don't think he had time to be nervous. He just ran out and did it. So anyways, I'm in the, they put you for the green room when you did it.

We were in the referees. Like little fucking pretty called locker room.

Now, I was thinking just all the people that must have been screaming on the other side of the door because you're not allowed to go in there. If you're a coach, a player or anything like that. So anyways, I'm sitting in there doing what you do in that moment.

They can have a fuck that I get here. Why me? Is this the end? Is everybody going to show up be like, you know, we don't think he's funny anymore, right?

So I'm going through all of this shit, trying to talk myself off the ledge so I can just go out there and act like this big deal is not a big deal. So I can perform the best.

And right before I go out there, my cell phone rings.

And I see it's, it's my wife and I'm like, ah, look at this perfect timing. This is why I love her. This is why she's the best. She's, you know, she's going to say, hey, don't be nervous.

Go out there. You earned it. I love you. Blah blah all that shit, right? Well, I pick up my phone in my laugh. She's crying hysterically.

And my first thought was something happened to our kids like, oh my god, did she fall down? Did you drop her?

Did somebody come into the house? I put the fuck happened. Like I picked up the phone. She's just like,
