Bill Burr - How To Deal With Twitter Trolls

[Music] feel that you still feel that it's like how many nights in a row can you sell out the Wilbur Theater to feel like hey I think I I think I'm on to something here I feel like maybe I'm doing it yeah you know but because you know I don't know I don't feel any different that's basically it you know there's some people that that are the exact opposite first time they get a laugh they're like dude I'm like semif famous I'm crushing it I'll be on a bus you know there's that person who just and those people you know God help them when it when it goes bad cuz they they go just as far down the other way you know that that you know that up and down thing I don't do that I just kind of look at it like yeah and I fooled them again you know there's always that thing as you're walking there you're peeking out of the curtain did anybody show up all right we're having a show let's let's do it so I guess it depends on why you do it like do you like doing standup or do you like being famous and maybe there's kind of a mixture of there's a dash of something and a little bit of something else for I love doing standup and then the whole Fame thing is uh I'm at a cool level you know people don't bug me but I also think like to be honest like what what Fame was when I started in '92 and what it is now was completely different right back then it was just like I mean I don't know I don't I don't know my I there wasn't all these cell phone cameras and blogs and social media and just every thing you did like I saw this poor bastard he tried to be like hey man going on tour and he had a picture of him standing in front of like a private jet in a car and all that and then he got on a commercial flight and someone followed him on Instagram took a picture that was bowow yeah I don't know I wasn't trying to out the guy but what I mean every every it was a story I know but I felt bad for the guy yeah he's just like so much of it is like you know is is like like that level of [ __ ] now that like you never got busted like you didn't have to show that you were living that lifestyle everybody assumed you did now you got to have that lifestyle if you don't you got to fake the lifestyle and and uh then everybody's like uh I don't know everybody's like telling on everybody if I if I followed bow on Instagram and then I saw him tweet and then on on uh Instagram or whatever and then I saw him on the flight I be like oh man I feel bad for the guy I mean I I wouldn't want to try to like yes I know but I and I I I hear what you're saying everybody wants their feet held to the fire until it's their feet Absolut give me a [ __ ] break absolutely but I also nobody ever exaggerated no I know but it's all but but also I mean it it is a if people recognize you it is a bold move to to suggest this is what I am doing if you know that people might recognize you I mean I I I guess I always just think you know make a joke out of it just take a picture of like the American Airlines and go getting on the private jet you know what I mean like then it's funny then it's funny and no one no one I don't know I whenever I see that [ __ ] I'm like oh man yeah but it is the you know but but but but it is you know it's also our faults for posting [ __ ] every day and trying to let people in and trying to go this is you know absolutely but I can still feel bad for some like also like a dude who's like he was like a child star and [ __ ] like who was really sitting there thinking at the age he was putting out albums like how do I top my last album I always have to feel there's adults behind that oh 100% so he's still trying to figure out who the [ __ ] he is and all this stuff and everybody's like coming at him probably saying oh you used to do this now you're doing that so now he feels that has to do that and then he gets [ __ ] on anyways um yeah it's like no matter what you do no matter what you do that's the internet no matter what you internet is the world's largest hole poking machine yeah you're going to get [ __ ] on it doesn't matter what it is you will always get you could whatever achievement you feel like you yeah but dude what was up with that tie though what with that tie though then they'll [ __ ] take your head and stick it on something else and it's always like and you know who does it those people who have that Little Egg for a picture and like two followers it's like you [ __ ] [ __ ] you just you just started this account to do this um and I dude I've had fantasies of of finding finding the [ __ ] people like i' I've literally on like some of the [ __ ] that people say and uh you know that's what's funny like sometimes when when you you're listening to uh people you know it's so hard for women to do that or it's so hard for this but it's like dude everybody everybody's getting if you're on the internet you're sitting on a dunk everyone getting [ __ ] but but also you know your your comedy voice there's almost like this Newtonian equal and opposite reaction because you you know I don't know what that means you have very it's so okay is that neutrons no you going you're going molecular here I mean in a way in a way it's just basic physics so like there's a little shade there it's just basic physics but uh you know it's the equal and opposite reaction to like you're creating momentum because your comedy voice is aggressive at times you are making strong statements about things you're making a it's like you are taking a stand about stuff express my ideas loudly yes and so people feel like oh it's okay to come back at him like that or maybe that's how he communicates or maybe are you going to make excuses for everyone on the internet through this I mean some can can can have they ever held accountable is it always like well that's his fault for getting on a stage I'm not blaming you I'm just saying I'm saying understand CU a lot of times I feel like and seriously I think I got to be honest with you I think everybody write down to companies should be aggressive you should be aggressive with these people on the internet you should go right back at them you poke them back even harder you find out where they live you just give you got you got to because it's it's it's the bully mentality you go right back at them or you kill them with silence you you just figure out a strategy but you got to have like a strategy but these people who are like you know when people don't do [ __ ] and then they have to apologize for something that you know somebody else misunderstood then the second you apologize you're [ __ ] you know unless you really did it unless you really [ __ ] up because I [ __ ] up I mean I'm not saying I would ever apologize if I [ __ ] up I would yeah [ __ ] up but um those people that are just like oh sorry that was just that I don't I you know I was stuck in traffic and then once you do that it's just blood in the water they just rip you apart so you might as well go down swinging I don't know how we got on this subject no it's a great I don't know how I ever get on any subjects we just s we just we just Yammer but I but I do feel like there's a i like to wield the human sword sometimes where I just go oh hey you know um yeah that really hurt my feelings or like I was just having a weird day or are you okay cuz that seems like that like really hurt my feelings you can actually [ __ ] people up by doing that that you don't get mad no somebody was telling me they said that it was like oh so what exactly about the special didn't you like yeah and then they're all like oh [ __ ] then you become like a person to them yeah well that's the thing is that you know we when you're on when you are presented in in largely two-dimensional form to people they that third dimension the dimension that Humanity exists in is literally not there so they do not see you as a person and so they feel like oh hey you know like I can RI this guy I don't give a [ __ ] when they see me as a person I just know like people taking free shots like I always feel like I got to get you know can't I'm supposed to just sit there and take that no my wife will be like just ignore it just plow ahead but who gives a [ __ ] oh my God uh uh uh o o o o ooh
