Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, Monday, Monday, August 7th,

2023. What's going on? How are you?

How are you? I am, I'm on vacation.

I'm winding down my vacation. I only got one more day of vacation and then it's back to the black and black.

But I had an amazing time. Me and my family have been staying down here in Martha's Vineyard.

There's no wine on Martha's Vineyard.

If some white dude a long time ago had a daughter or a wife named Martha and he named the island after her and probably did not check in on the people that were already living there.

Either the people that were originally there or the people that killed the people that were there or reeducated them to their Methodist ways, whatever the fuck happened over there. I don't know, but all I know is I came by three, four hundred years later and I had a lovely time.

Been having a lovely time. I will tell you this, if you never been to Martha's Vineyard, you got to check it out. Absolutely gorgeous.

They shot Jaws here way back in 74, came out in the 1975, I believe, and began the summer blockbuster craze. You can thank Jaws. Right? That fucking movie, why every summer Tom Cruise saves us from something.

No Jaws, no Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise would have been doing like fucking, I don't know, what he would have been doing.

He's been doing a Western or some shit. Yeah, I believe that was the first one that just caused this absolute, which is nuts to me because I would think that there was big hit movies before then.

You would think that there would be lines down the street, but I think this was the one that was sort of almost like a pop song where it just appealed to everybody and everybody wanted to go see it.

And then of course Star Wars a couple years later. So anyway, it was shot down there and there's a lot of ice cream, a lot of ice cream to be had down that way.

What else? Lot of people eat ice cream down there. I will say that. I have never seen so much fucking ice cream consumed in my life, like every five in my life, every like five feet. There was another place to get ice cream and there was a bunch of people standing outside, not saying anything, fucking eat ice cream.

Eating ice cream. And I didn't get ice cream once when I was there. I was like, I'm not doing that. I am not going to be waddling down the street in a pair of fucking salmon colored shorts, open-toed sandals, being just yet another person waddling down the street.

Actually, I'm lying, there weren't that many fat fucks in the island. I don't think there was. They couldn't have made the ferry ride over.

You know, they'd have to hang them off the side.

Anyway, and while I was on the island, I did the most incredible touristy thing I've ever done in my life.

All right. Wait. Yeah, wait a second. Before I get going, I on like one of the nights I was out there, I popped in and did a stand-up show in Oaks Bluff or OB, as the locals call it.

At the Strand Theatre, I want to say Steve Capas runs that thing. And I got to work with Damon Williams, who I had not seen in forever.

It was a fantastic crowd. I went up, you know, tried out a few new things, did some stuff that work, and I had a great time.
