Fuck Bill Burr in his stupid fucking ass.
It’s so rare that I have a modicum of respect for anyone but this guy was somebody who I had a ton of respect for right up until the minute of that fucking blood money bone saw bullshit.
I stopped watching all of the comedians that partook in that, but Bill was the one that was the biggest kick in the balls.

Yeah, Bill of all people felt like a real backstab, the man’s selling out MSG, I don’t think he needed the money.
Only thing I’ve heard of hi. since was when Conan had him on his podcast. His explanation somewhat softened my view, but still…

It’s not too surprising. I used to listen to the Monday Morning Podcast regularly, until (I think) 2019, when he went on a long rant about (my words) how stressful and burdensome it was to have a lot of money, because you’re constantly having to guard it, and manage it, and be afraid of losing it. Not like how easy it is to be a poor schlub, because you don’t have all that pressure to maintain an affluent lifestyle. I had heard him rant many times about how he’s a comedian, so he says that a lot of things that aren’t meant to be taken seriously. But, there was an edge to that poor-little-rich-man rant which didn’t sound like a joke. Maybe. But it’s a well-known effect of wealth that it decreases one’s empathy, and that it can happen to anybody.
