Steven Wright has been one of my all-time favorites since I first heard him. "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing there" still kills me.
Steven did Joe Rogan as well. Seems like he's hitting a new and different peak in his career and is in good spirits. I bet his book is really good and he seems happy about it. He doesn't even care if he doesn't say anything the entire podcast haha
He's always like this with a guest. If you want to hear some good Billie monologues...watch the pods where he has a guest. If you take all the time the guest speaks and add it up, it's probably like 10 minutes per hour. ;~)
Steven Wright has one of my favorite jokes about the babies being separated at birth and meeting up on their deathbeds. "So, what'd you think?" How deep is that joke?
this is incredible. Steven Wright I Have a Pony was the very first comedy album (well, tape) I ever bought. My buds and I would listen to this over and over back in jr high school
I saw Steve Wright live with a bunch of friends back in 2000 ish. I think we missed half the show because we were laughing so much from a joke that we would miss the next. What a legend! So unique and so humble.
What a powerful, insightful interview. Both you and Steven weren't afraid to make yourselves vulnerable and share on that subjects that really hit home. Thank you for doing this both of you.
Omg it’s Billy Bookworm! Hope Bill really understands that Steve will never get a book review that so perfectly encapsulates or even begins to get where he was coming from. Seriously. How often does the interviewer gush and barely let the guest even say a word? You know that Steven really was bowled over by the love. All I know is if Bill loves something so much it’s definitely a winner. Thanks for the book report. And for sharing him with us. Two introverts passing in a podcast baring their souls. Kudos
Man I gotta comment on this and it's rare I feel the need but I can't express how beautiful it was to listen to both of you in the same conversation...especially given the obvious connections between you two...but, does it get better?!...Digging into the minutae of life&living, sports, comedy, perspectives etc with 2 of the greatest, not just comedic minds, but true artists of our time...?!?..are you kidding me? I'd pay for this. What a true fkn joy. Thank you so much for this. TWO geniuses
I'd secretly hoped that this was going to be almost a two hour interview, but even one hour was great, and it flew by. Please have Steven back again as a guest soon, I can't wait another seven years for his next book to come out, and it was great to see both of you so relaxed and genuinely enjoying talking about the old days.
I'm only about 20 minutes into this one and I love it so far. I've heard of Steven Wright but never checked out any of his stand up. I will now, for sure. I also wish he'd come back like once every year or two. Not all the time, but just enough to make my day once every blue moon.
So that was super animated Steven… Steven on speed and a double of essssspro. Thanks for the early morning man talk boys. Nice to see what’s goin on in the ol’ folks home. Don’t be Madd. I’m follow real quick. As long as; 🇺🇸JOE ROGAN🥀is prez in🌈24🔫 Otherwise I’m goin to China and registering with the winners
I just recently found out about both of them. Now I can’t get enough of Steven Wright. His humor is insightful, yet simple. Just a series of one-liners is what I have seen so far, which is the old stuff. The jokes seem like the basic set up….Present a scenario, pause, then slap on a surprise twist of an ending. Am I right?
Two of my favorite comics of all time! I remember seeing Stephen Wright on Carson when I was little and recording by holding a cassette player up to the TV. My favorite joke was "I had a dream that midgets were trying to assassinate me so I bought a bulletproof car... But since they were midgets I got a convertible." 😂
I'd never heard that one either, just pure genius, the mind that comes up with that. There is never a chance to know what the punch line will be to anything that Steven Wright writes or performs, it just comes out of nowhere, and then back again.
That was great, thanks Bill. Been a fan of Steven's since the early 90's/middle school... about the time I first realized at least I have a good sense of humor.
Oh shit Steven Wright! Happy to see him doing podcasts, he's a living legend, king of one liners, and i guess he writes great books now im gunna have to check it out.
I find the trouble with doing nothing, is even when you do it the best, nobody cares. And what's worse- when you do everything, it's the same story. I say let someone else do both, just take the credit.
"...the depression that you can't go out and kill any more zombies. I got that feeling, in a literary way..." Seriously, Bill needs to start a book club.
Bill is a Bostonian and so is Steven. Bill worshipped Steven who was one of the first Boston comics to make it big in 1979 and paved the path for Bill.
The greatest interview I’ve ever seen. The most interesting interview I’ve ever heard. Bill Burr is incredible with his insights. I’ve never heard Steven laugh so hard.
You are on the right track You were born this way... I am brave enough to cope with your ADD one podcast at the time.. It ADDs laughter to my day. Good Luck to Nia though😅.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja Vu at the same time as I reminisce with people I don't know. The greatest comic mind of my life here on this spinning sphere is being interviewed by one of my favorite comedians and I'm going to cherish this for 24 hours. But not in a row ...
In school, they told me "practice makes perfect" but then Bill Burr told me "nothing is perfect" so I stopped practicing. Gotta love Steven Wright. Glad you kept it hush. I'm excited to watch this one!
"In hindsight, I realized I could see into the future. Which is kind of like having premonitions of flashbacks." -Steven Wright My fav comic. This was so good.
Love this. Had the same feelings of growing up in Boston in the school system. I just wanted out. Ended up being a musican for a career. Love stand up. I remember watching burr at that kahwloon lounge and multiple spots around the area. Was awesomeness
Always been a major fan of steven what an amazing conversation! He's got me back into writing random thoughts just to be creative with no expectations thank u!!!
I am so glad to see Steve! He was such an Awesome stand up and just about disappeared. Good to know he's still with us and still funny. Now I have to read that book!
Another genius comedian from Mass, John Pinnette...RIP, thanks Bill for having Steven Wright on, hope you have him on again, I'm going to get his book asap, also, I would have loved to hear Nia talk with Steven as well.
13:46 On being an introvert: "I'm really good at something I shouldn't even be doing." -- That's hilarious and insightful al at once. This guy is brilliant. 4.o
Made my day🎯 Thanks to both of you➡this was a fun/really interesting/thought-provoking experience for me. Rich, really rich/& like a story inside a story in many places. Love how you both made each other laugh as you went along describing something from life/your take on it, etc.Thanks very much for making this a video Bill. Can't wait to read Harold❣Wish Steve would have a book signing here in Boston😊
"Catcher In The Rye on Mushrooms" is one hell of a blurb!

Meanwhile,
Hanging out with Steven Wright, there’s no need for mushrooms. 😊
Serious. Need the audio version. Read like a page and my eyes start poppin out and ache
🇺🇸ROGAN🇺🇸
⚒️2024🥀
one hell of a compliment too
Made me wanna buy it
IDK what a blurb is but its a hell of a way to make me want to buy it despite the fact I will likely never read it until I get sober
Steven’s greatest line “I wonder how deep the ocean would be if it didn’t have sponges in it “ his humor is timeless 😂
That's brilliant. 🤣
lolololololol
I heard that years ago
Steven Wright has been one of my all-time favorites since I first heard him.
"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing there" still kills me.
Steven is an introvert, but Bill, not so much.
Steven Wright is a true genius. Of comedy and life.
Anyone just watch the Conan Podcast with Steven? Worth a watch as well. Love it when bill has guests. 🤗 Thanks, Billy Roja!
"YeSterDaY I Was,....WaiT ,.. ThAt Was'nT Me". " TOdaY I WaS.,....WaiT,....ThAt WaS 5 YeArS Ag0"....
Where do you go to watch the whole thing? I’ve got Conan’s podcast but don’t know where to go for the visual.
@@andersonash9059 i wanna know too
@@andersonash9059 There is no full video podcast, just the youtube clips.
Steven did Joe Rogan as well. Seems like he's hitting a new and different peak in his career and is in good spirits. I bet his book is really good and he seems happy about it. He doesn't even care if he doesn't say anything the entire podcast haha
I could have listened to these two talk for days. Nice one Bill. Buying the book.
Knowing Stven Wright wrote a book makes me want to learn how to read. lol- I mean I can Read, but only body laguage.
I read only when I'm looking at the book.
11:50 and Steve gets his first word in I assume Bill is nervous in the presence of one of his heroes 😂
He's making Steven laugh. That's everything.
Steve did not mind one bit. They just sat there delighted with each other and life in general
@@jamesdewane1642 I’m not shitting on Bill. I thought it was cute
Yeah I think they are friends and Bill wanted to make it easy for Steven by talking a lot, since Steven doesn't make many appearances. Maybe?
He's always like this with a guest. If you want to hear some good Billie monologues...watch the pods where he has a guest. If you take all the time the guest speaks and add it up, it's probably like 10 minutes per hour. ;~)
Bill didn't lie when he said he had a very, very special guest coming up! This is awesome!!!!
He had a guest lol
bill never really lies..
I see Steven Wright, I click. He's such a great, original soul. Thanks Bill. You're pretty good too for a soulless ginger. 😉
WOW, Steven Wright!!!!! Bill making him laugh was the best
Check him out w/Conan
Wow, this is a special guest.
I clicked the notification without looking and now I'm so glad.
"Where did the alphabet come from... is it because of that song? The guy who wrote that song wrote everything". Steven Wright is a legend
I also like when he came out with a guitar and said,
"This isn't a song that goes something like this,
it goes exactly like this."
I've never seen Steven laugh so much. Props Bill!
Craig Ferguson used to make him laugh like that and so did Conan O'Brien recently.
@@Danimal77 I’m gay
Great time to be alive to be able to see these 2 talking
The mutual respect and admiration between these two is amazing. Pleasant to listen to and watch.
Steven Wright has one of my favorite jokes about the babies being separated at birth and meeting up on their deathbeds. "So, what'd you think?" How deep is that joke?
brilliant
no idea
The beauty of this joke is that it's too close to home for all of us
I don’t get it, please explain lol
Think 💭 then provocative and freaking funny
I know Bill was happy getting Steven to laugh like that.
Best feeling
Steven was being kind I'm sure.
Since Bill sold out he's been as funny as a burning orphanage.

Boy do you sound sad😂
@@asynchronicity And you sound vaccinated. 💉
Two of my all time favorite comedians! Awesome!
Hot damn, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Billy boy here gush over someone so much but certainly made my morning.
I remember seeing Steven for the first time 1979 at Salem State. He’s still a classic!! Thanks for having him on.
That's when he started doing standup.

Love it!
That's hilarious
Love you Bill 😊Love Stephen Wright. Glad he's back. Big fan of Stephen Wright

When you can make Steven Wright laugh, Man, Oh Man! That's why you're One of the Greatest!
I dropped everything to listen to this. Steven Wright is a legend and such a nice guy.
Bill is an incredible diplomat and it's amazing seeing him coax laughs out of Steven Wright
Two of my favorite comics of all time! I remember seeing Stephen Wright on Carson when I was little and recording by holding a cassette player up to the TV. My favorite joke was "I had a dream that midgets were trying to assassinate me so I bought a bulletproof car... But since they were midgets I got a convertible." 😂

Oh shit Steven Wright! Happy to see him doing podcasts, he's a living legend, king of one liners, and i guess he writes great books now im gunna have to check it out.
Only Bill would give Steven Wright a squeaky chair. Pull it together freckles 🤨 Great interview with an absolute legend.
I visibly relax when Steven starts talking. For me he was the voice of the 90's that captured the mood perfectly
This is great. PERIOD.
Thank you Bill and Steven.
Harold is the #1 Best Seller on Amazon in “British & Irish Humor & Satire”. That is so Steven Wright. 😀
His comedy in the 80's was one of a kind, no one was anywhere near his style or delivery. He's amazing.
I haven’t seen steven in a long time! He has aged exactly as I imagined, LOVE you steven!!!
This was amazing, great to see these legends together

Loved this. Steven Wright is an all time favorite and a hero to me.
"...the depression that you can't go out and kill any more zombies. I got that feeling, in a literary way..." Seriously, Bill needs to start a book club.
He probably would, except more people reading books mean less people paying attention to him, which is how he gets paid, so....he probably wont.
So cool to watch Bill as a fan of Steven and Steven a fan of Bill. Love it!!!
Bill is a Bostonian and so is Steven. Bill worshipped Steven who was one of the first Boston comics to make it big in 1979 and paved the path for Bill.
Legend! Still remember his jokes from the 80s "About four years ago I ... no it was yesterday.."
Only 15 minutes in and this is fantastic! Always shows when there's a great love and understanding between people. Thanks for the cast!
The greatest interview I’ve ever seen. The most interesting interview I’ve ever heard. Bill Burr is incredible with his insights. I’ve never heard Steven laugh so hard.
It was pleasure to listen to you guys. Two legends ❤️
Steven wright is the best .. he is a absolute diamond 💎.. if you don't know please watch this man's comedy..
You are on the right track
You were born this way...
I am brave enough to cope with your ADD one podcast at the time.. It ADDs laughter to my day.
Good Luck to Nia though😅.
That part about being pushed inside your head by people around you, damn, he knows, he’s real ❤️ Two legends 👌
I gotta get this book it sounds amazing. Thanks Billy and Steve I'm so glad you both got together for this
Harold is completely wonderful. It’s impossible to listen to his audio recording of Harold and not fall a little in love with Mr. Wright. ❤
These two together are amazing. Two of the best ever.
Thank you Nina for interrupting an amazing conversation
Two of my favorite comics just chilling out talking. Truly loved watching this. Wishing both of you the best in the future.
Bill being the 747 and Stephen being the snail was a great analogy 😂
Great conversation! Love! Great laughs!

Loved this. I don't know why, but I had expected him to be more aloof and in his own head. Great to see him laughing and enjoying himself.

just legendary, thank you Bill .
Cannot wait to read this book!
I didn’t even know Steven Wright was still alive. His cadence makes me miss Mitch Hedberg. At the time, they were my favorite to listen to or watch.
