"Bill Burr"

24:26And then you were worried about what it was going to do online. It'd go viral, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now you don't give a shit about what people say. Is that true? It's kind of what I'm getting at. Yeah, I just kind of learned, you know, there was that weird period in standup where it started with the Me Too movement, which was amazing that it went from like, let's get rapists and sexual assaulters out of the business. And within like 18 months, it became like, hey, I don't like what you're talking about in your standup act. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your career's over. It just got spun out of control.

25:00Like, so, and then that's when people started, we'd be doing interviews and they were saying, you know, some of the statements you made last night on stage, it's like, there was no statements. There was no jokes. Right, right, right. Yeah, and what I would just always say is like, listen, you know, I'm up there joking around, all right? If you make the decision to take what I said seriously, doesn't mean that I now meant it. Right, right, right. So you're free to do that. If that's what you want to do, you're not going to have a good time. Right. You know what I mean? Like I was in some, I was in some place recently and there was a giant river next to the theater just rushing down the thing.

25:37I was like, you know, this is a great city to kill your wife. Just throw it in and it goes down. You know, they have no idea where she is. Just a stupid thing like that. Right now, if you go like, and then there's going to be somebody and they go, my best friend got killed by his husband. It's like, yeah, well, I didn't do it. You know, it happens in every city. I'm not saying to do it I'm being ridiculous Right I said that I have to explain comedy to you Like why would you Right Why would you come here Do we think Do we think that that's over now Like Yeah Shani Right I mean It never happened It never happened It was in New York and LA But then as a comedian You went out on the road But the problem is All of these people That were like Sort of controlling that narrative Sort of sit here In New York or LA With their hands on the buttons Well, that's their universe.

26:26Yeah. That's why like, like my favorite thing in the world is watching these idiots on award shows, lecturing people about race, right? You know, they go up there and they got to say something about that and homophobia, blah, blah, blah, whatever the fuck they're doing. And you look at Hollywood, they're just now integrating. Like sports integrated like almost 80 fucking years ago. Right. And then now they're just getting around to giving more people opportunities. Right. And it's, you know, it's like, dude, like what the fuck? What fucking world are you going to sit here and lecture? Because what?

27:00Oh, Black Lives Matter. You had your Instagram page all black for one day. Wow. Way to go. I had to be on the right side of history. That's what I love about my people. And I always say my people. I hate when, you know, and I was guilty that when white people say white people, it's like, no, it's us. I hate when we fucking do shit like that. And we think like that stupid gesture is still about us. I had to, you guys. I just had to use my voice to fucking play. It's like you didn't even leave your fucking apartment. Right, I know. We didn't even get into like the, like I'm like Will and Jason, I'm a big fan and I've, you know, wanted you on the show for a couple of years now because I just, I laugh every time I see you.

27:45And I don't know anything. Were you supposed to be on the show once and it didn't work out? We had a time. I know we've been trying for a while. Yeah, I had a meltdown. I couldn't figure it out. So now I have a guy that helps me out. That's good. So you were born in Massachusetts. Your parents were doctors, right? Were your dad or your mom was a dentist? No, my dad was a dentist, but he's a narcissist, so he thought he was a doctor. Okay.

28:10Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. He also thought I had a stomachache because it was a ruptured appendix, but that's a different story. What did mom do? She was a nurse. Okay. My mom's a beast. My mom's a beast. CCRN ICU. She had all the letters. And I remember one of the funniest things ever as far as like a job becomes a job. I was dropping her off at work. We pull in. She just goes, ah, Christ, will you look at all those ambulances? And I just bursted out laughing. She goes, I know, I know. I shouldn't look at it that way. But she was like, yeah, she's, I've seen her save a couple people's lives like when they had issues.

28:46I love that. I love that. In public. She just like knows what to do. Yeah, someone was having a stroke and she immediately looked at her watch and all of that stuff and knew that they have this enzyme, thank God now, that they can shoot in and if they do it within some amount of time. Within the first hour. What do you mean? What do you mean? I had a family member who just had it six months ago and he got it 58 minutes after having his first symptoms. Of what? Of having a stroke. And the doctor said, you're fucking lucky that you got it. What's the symptoms? Well, this person there, I was like tearing up.

29:19that's what made my mother clock it the eye the eye tears up the eye was tearing up the person was in like a cvs or something they were trying to get some ointment for like their eye because it was like tearing up and we happened to be there so my mother was just like silently like clot like a fucking like a secret service like she was just read like okay you know she just knows that that could be a thing or whatever and then the person couldn't talk and they just went down it was fucking scary wow and so and everyone was like freaking out and she was just like cool as a cucumber called the ambulance they got there and when they showed up i couldn't i just seen her in action she like knew what time it started you know so they knew and then they shot the enzyme in and they were they were able to to break up the clock that's pretty cool well so these these are both serious people mom and dad well how'd they feel about you uh taking the right turn into into comedy uh they have no they would totally support it but they're also like artists like my dad is a plays a bunch of different instruments, can draw you as you're sitting there.

30:19He's amazing at drawing and all of that stuff. And then my mother is a stealth artist because she grew up in the 40s and was left-handed and that meant you were the devil. So they made her right-handed and she's actually a left-handed person. And it sort of became a theme, I think, in my mother's life of like, I wanted this, but they made me do that. And she just, oh, okay, I guess that's what you do so she's had like this sort of funny uh experience with that and then later in life she's gotten into like she's tapped into that side of her the artistic side but that's great i like that's really cool so they always encourage you in the arts and shit when you were growing up yeah yeah i mean they did yeah they they didn't have any problem with me going into it but uh my mother is like you know she's like german midwestern so like it took the longest time to get like a compliment like yeah it's just like i i like almost like stopped telling her when i was on tv and then i remember uh one time i went back to boston i did this show at the comedy connection when it was in faneuil hall and i just went on i i i caught his own and i just murdered the whole time i was up there and i got off stage and i remember she just went now that was a good show and i said all right i finally got her and then for like the next six years every show i did she compared to the Boston one.

31:38That was good. It wasn't like that set you did in Boston. I was like, mom, why do you do this? She goes, I'm trying to make it better. I'm just trying. And then what were some of the first couple of gigs you had? Did you work at a warehouse or something when you first started, like before you started doing standup or something right out of college? What were your survival? Yeah, I did a lot of warehousing. I tried like landscaping stuff, but just being a redhead in the sun, it was just brutal. I tried roofing and stuff. It was just, I was going to die. I'd be dead at skin cancer by the time I was 20.

32:08You don't strike me as a sort of a flippant or reckless person. So how confident were you that comedy was going to be a career for you? And did you sort of, you know, protect yourself a bit by studying other things? Or like, was there a plan B? Dude, I sucked at everything. Like, I just, I had massive, massive fucking ADD. Wow. massive childhood trauma and shit. And like, I was like, yeah, like fucking, I get like, I think I first started getting alopecia when I was like 12, just from like fucking stressing, just being in the fight or flight. I want to talk about that. For shit I'm not going to get into.

32:45Oh, yeah. Like people always try to get those stories out of me. I'm like, dude, you're going to, like 17 people would have to be dead before I could tell those fucking stories of not a fucking innocent people. Yeah. So. But there was, but there was no, you say you suck at everything. I don't, I don't believe you. I bet if you wanted to point yourself in a direction, whether it be, well, maybe even medicine. I mean, look, you're two parents. So were there brothers or sisters that were carving a path? I could show you some report cards that would debunk that theory. No, I was like a fucking cat on a leash, dude.

33:19Like, I don't know what it was. Like, everything, I just wanted to, every place I was, I didn't fit in. I just was always outside the thing looking at it. and I was looking at everybody else and I was trying to do what they were doing. It was really an outer body experience most of my childhood. And then when I went down to my second show I ever did, it was this long gone comedy club, Stitch's Comedy Club. And I remember walking in there and there was all of these fucking damaged open micers. And it was the first time I ever felt like I was around the same kind of weird that I was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

33:57I had found the right nuts to hang out with and like how they viewed the world and how they interacted with it made sense. And who were some of those guys? Who were some of the guys that we would know that you kind of came up with? Because I'm always fascinated by people who are now famous, who hung out with other people who are now famous before you made it. Oh, I had a killer group. It was, I came up, let's see, Dane Cook, Patrice O 'Neill, Robert Kelly. And then there was this kid who came down from Maine, Bob Marley, that was his real name. He was born in like 67. So that was before Bob Marley made it.

34:32That's funny. And everyone was telling him. That was the last year the Leafs won. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. You haven't won since Bob Marley wasn't famous. He was growing his first dreadlock. I can't believe you're fucking, bring everything back. You had to mention 60 fucking seven. It's unbelievable. I love you guys. And I don't understand why you hate the Bruins. We have a mutual. You got a lot of good Canadians who won that cup for you. Hang on. Let me ask you, Bill. You talked about your second show. How'd you end up doing your first stand-up show? Yeah, yeah. I think it was a lot of Europeans won that cup for us.

35:04You're just assuming that you guys still dominate the league. Well, you had fucking Brad Marchand and you also had Bergeron was your captain. Well, there's two guys. No, I guess Chara was your captain at the time. Anyway. Oh, that's what the problem is. You guys don't realize you need a team. No. Hey, listen. Listen. Is that why you're never balanced and you buy like three fucking zillion dollar forwards and you have no fucking defense? Not true. We didn't buy them. We drafted all those guys. Anyway, except for Tavares. Listen, Bill, how did you end up at your first show? How was it that you went, I'm going up tonight to do stand-up tonight?

35:39How did that happen? Oh, I had to make, I was so walled off and shy that I had to make a New Year's resolution in 1992. I said, at some point this year, I had to get myself a whole fucking year. But were you writing jokes before you were like, no? No. what prepare then i would have to think about what i had to do i'd be like i need to write jokes oh look at this can oh let me fucking do something with this um i uh no and like once i made that thing in my head and i was going to emerson college at that time and the whole reason i was going to emerson college two reasons one i had to get a college degree because my parents were professionals and they wanted me to do that so i was doing that and then two it was a performance school.

36:22So I went there to get over stage fright. I had real no, like I majored in mass communications. I didn't, I just majored, I was majoring in volunteering to get in front of fucking people. I did radio so I could be on a microphone and talk to people, but I didn't have to see him. It was very baby steps. So I made this new year's resolution. And then there was a school paper. I don't know if they still have it there, the Emersonian. And there, there was an ad in the paper. It was this contest at Nick's Comedy Stop. Find Boston's Funniest College Student, which was just a big sales promotion to get a bunch of drunk kids, college kids in there, buying beer, watching their friends bomb.

37:00So I signed up. I went home and signed up. It was funny. My parents are into antiques. So they had this Resto Mod phone. I was literally like, yeah, hello, operator. I'd like to get into showbiz. You opened it up. It was still a push button phone and i just called up and i signed up for the contest and um i showed up and i and i i went up and did it it didn't go well it went it went okay but what'd you do what you what was the first thing do you remember i'm really curious about this like you get up on you do this fucking thing and then you get up on stage and then what well it really is the funniest thing to get into because you can't really practice it you don't you have no idea how to do it the only way to learn how to do it is to just go up and do it so i'm i do remember sitting down to write jokes for the first time and just staring at the blank page like how do you i don't even know how to do this so i just started writing stuff and stories and talking about myself was a very um self-deprecating set talking about being a commuter having no friends having no girlfriend basically discussing all the sadness that leads one to start becoming a performer.

38:09Right, right, right. So it was a lot of that. And, you know, I went up there, I forgot what I was going to say. I sort of started in the middle of the shit that I could remember. And I kind of meandered, but I remember getting off stage and I do remember going up to the mic and another like auto body experience, almost like watching myself taking the mic out of the mic stand. And I was just like, this is what I'm doing. I'm doing this for the rest of my life. This is what I'm supposed to be doing. And the The guy who hosted it, Billy Martin, who's now a big shot at the Bill Maher show. He gave me Rita Choice's number.

38:45Still remember her. She was fucking hilarious. And she used to make me call up the club and I'd be like, hey, Rita, it's Bill Burr. I want to get some spots. She goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not how you talk to me. You have to say, Rita, this is open mic-er Bill Burr. And I just, I thought it was the funniest thing ever. yeah I loved it because like that was to me and also she was in the comedy world and I loved that type of affection like that was like I don't like real affection like hey man I'm just gonna say you really mean a lot to me like literally my toes start going like that and my sneakers like dude we can't have a real fucking meet I get it we'll be right back

39:30and now back to the show hey real quick i got an 18 year old daughter that wants to go to emerson uh was it was it great it's fantastic yeah it's fantastic one of the great things that they had was they had people that went there and were doing well you know in in show business and they would come back on a regular basis and they would talk to i do it you know i haven't done it enough i should do it more but you come back and what's great about it i remember sitting there looking at these people they had produced a movie that i forget what the movie was but it was something that i had seen and just to see them being like, oh, they were sitting here.

40:04Right. And now they're doing that. Like, this is like possible because you know how this business is. This isn't like, you know, you start in the mailroom and then you work your way up to that. There's like, it's just like this field. You just start running and you don't know. Oh, they're running this way. I run over here. And like, you have no idea. Like, there's no. Squid game. Yeah. Exactly. Squid game. People have fallen. Totally squid game. Quitting, becoming substitute teachers. You have no idea. Like, what the fuck am I doing? Right. But then, Bill, what's so impressive is your massive, hugely successful career in stand-up and doing specials and everything.

40:39But like, what a great actor you are. F is for family. How are you doing that? It's King of Staten Island. And then Mandalorian, which I was like, oh my God, Bill Burr's on Mandalorian. That was so cool. And then you did Old Dads, which you co-wrote. With Ben Tischler, yeah. Produced, directed, and starred. And I wanted to ask you about Old Dads because I want to ask Jason to this. When you first start directing, I was reading about you, Bill, about old dads. And when you first start directing and you have to call action for the very first time in your life as a director, it must feel so awkward.

41:15Like if I, I got to say it with conviction because if I say action weekly, I won't look like a leader. So I have to kind of, you know what I mean? So isn't that weird to call action for the very first time as a director? Yeah, it was. Because you've seen it and you've been around it. They also said like there was, you know, the first AD was like, do you want me to say action? And then I kind of realized like, oh, is it hacky now? For the director to say action? Do I need to have that old big bullhorn and action? You know? So I just deferred that to them. But I do remember like I directed Old Dads not because I wanted to.

41:52I never had any desire. Once again, my fucking ADD and everything. Like I was just like, I don't want to, you know, Let me just do, you know, I don't give a fuck, dude. Give me a line read. Whatever I have to do to get through the fucking day, I don't care, right? So I knew I was in trouble directing. And this is how what happened was we were coming out of COVID. So everybody was committed to all of these projects that they didn't do plus what they were going to do the next year. So no one was available. So then they start talking, going, well, Bill, you wrote this movie. I go, no, I didn't. I wrote it with Ben Tischler.

42:25Yeah, but it's your voice. No, no, no. and they kept trying to, they were backing me into a corner and then they go, well, I mean, it's getting, you know, it's getting late. It's going to go away. And I just said, all right, fine. I'll do it. And I don't remember 2022 after that. And this is when I knew I was in trouble was I was talking to the set dresser, whatever. I never know what the names of the jobs are. The person that puts all this stuff in the room, right? They go, they go, they go. That guy. Yeah. Yeah, that person. and uh yeah and i'm dancing monkey i have different names for the jobs but they know what i'm talking about right um so she goes okay this scene is it's a backyard barbecue scene or are we thinking paper plates are we thinking i was like yeah yeah paper plates and she goes what kind of paper plates oh god and i was like oh fuck right i go it's to this level and then i started thinking oh there's directors out there that that choose a color palette that they i'm just way in over my head.

43:23So the reality of old dads is Ben Tischler co-directed with me. So he had my back. Okay. And Monica Levinson, there was a lot, I had a ton of help. And, but the thing was with that thing was I knew, I knew how to write jokes and Ben knew how to write structure. So we had this scene there and it's like, I wasn't trying to be Stanley Kubrick. So I was just trying to make you laugh. So it wasn't like, I've asked every stand-up comic that does some acting the same question how do you like the process of, because as a stand-up you come first and then you write words to fit you, as an actor it's the exact opposite process, do you enjoy that or is it torture to you to like have to fit a bunch of words in a character that pre-exists?

44:13No, no, I love it, I also I like, I'm envious of the collaboration. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like Will knows this. He's been out on the ice with me. I'd rather get an assist than the goal. You know? I put it right on the fucking tape. And what does he do? He shoots it over the crossbar just like every bum on his team. Not this guy. Jesus Christ, bro. No, I really like... I've been... My acting career, which is funny, is what I always say is I've paratrooped into some of the best stuff. and only for a couple of episodes. And people have like this idea of me. Yeah, that I have this way bigger acting thing than I do.

44:57And it's like, I only did a couple episodes of Breaking Bad. I did a couple episodes of Chappelle, Mandalorian. I've like paratrooped into these. But you do enjoy it? Not as much as a stand-up, but yeah. No, no, I absolutely love it. I have an acting gig coming up next month in New York. doing Broadway for the first time. Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross. Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross. Oh, wow. No way. Yeah, with Kieran Culkin and who else? We just won a Golden Globe, Bob Odenkirk, Michael McKeon. Oh, man, I want to be in that. So it's kind of Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad there. Got a little bit of succession in there.

45:33I'm going to see that. When does that open? I think March 10th. Okay. You're excited about that? Is that your first play? Yeah. Yeah, I never did it. How long are you doing it? Do you know how long you're doing it? How long and who's directing? How long are you doing it? I'm doing it until the end of June, I believe. So March, April, May, June. Oh, that's not good. That's like, yeah, 16 weeks or whatever. But what about directing? You think you'll ever direct again? I'm slated to direct the next one I just wrote with Ben. Yeah? After in 2022 going, I'm never doing this again. But like, I don't know.

46:09Like we kind of, it's like, I always joke. I go, we're like the comedian, you know, and I'm not saying we're anywhere near them, but like comedian Coen brother type of thing where if it says produced by Ben Tischler know that he was directing too listen to this guy says he's like a Coen brother over here I just went through all of their movies I just went through all of their all of the movies that I hadn't seen aren't they incredible I mean these guys are just I miss them you know what's a great one here's one to watch with your wife your lady friend your life partner Sean thank you thank you dad good for you Paris Jatim Paris Jatim is something that they just produced.

46:45And it's a series of like 20, 10-minute short films about love in Paris and all different, like, you know, people finding love, people getting divorces, tragic, funny. It was such a surprise. Amazing movie. Will, that's French for Paris, I love you. Paris, je t 'aime. Wow. Thanks, man. Parce que tu es très gentil, Paris. One cigar. One coffee. Non, parce que je ne suis pas français. and he knows so Billy so the Monday Morning Podcast you started in 2007 yeah and you're still doing it what? yeah yeah so wait this is pre-Dak Shepard is post-Mark Maron pre-Dak Shepard yeah yeah I don't know in the podcast sorry for the way that he marks years and shit I didn't know we were going to do a deep dive into the history of podcasting No, but I mean, we don't have to, but it's like, wow.

47:44I mean, you've been doing it before it was a thing. I was doing it when I used to call in a service on a flip phone. Wow. And I used to be, and that was my first podcast. We're only like five, six minutes. It was, it started off with, it was on the MySpace page and you would post it. And I was over Bobby Kelly's apartment once again. Yeah, Bobby Kelly. And we were both living near each other in New York at the time. and he was the one. He goes, dude, you know, dude, it's a way to connect with your fans, dude. He says, you know, he says, do it a lot, right? And I was like, all right. So then I just started doing them and I liked it.

48:20And it's been this amazing exercise for me because I don't have guests really. So I just sort of babble and then answer questions and stuff. And it grew to 10 minutes to 20 minutes, the same way you build like a standup act. And now I can just by myself sort of talk for an hour. So like when I shoot a special, going out and trying to like, you know, come up with a whole new hour is a lot easier for me. Yeah. I feel because of doing that because I'm not, I'm just, I can go into flow mode. Yeah. Got it. Do you, do you. Sorry, Sean. Was that painful for you? Yeah, exactly. It went on long. I know.

49:00You got it. You're surprised with your process.

49:04Bill, do you find yourself doing the podcast and you say something or something happens, like a joke comes out of it, and then you integrate it into your special? Is that what you're saying? I never used to do that, but lately I have been because the rule is basically, if I do it on the podcast, I'm not doing it on the show. But if I feel like it's like, you know, I just waded into the water and it's going to go a lot deeper than that, Yeah. Like, you know, I had like a dad moment with my two kids that was, you know, it was, it just worked out perfectly. How do I do this? Because I don't want to do the bit, but it was basically my son wasn't listening to my daughter.

49:49And then she was mad at him and she wanted to get him back. And I gave her the green light to do it. And then she did it like a woman. Like, it was diabolical. It was fucking amazing. I was just like, holy shit. Like, wow, that is a female brain in there because I never would have thought, you know, guys are like, oh, I'm going to punch you in the face. Like, they pitch story and they fucking come up with something and they just put maximum. How old are your kids? Pain and suffering. Seven and four. Soon to be eight. Oh, how fun. Oh, yeah, my son's hilarious. His new thing is he'd be like, when he gets mad at me, he goes, he goes, that's it, dad.

50:27He goes, you're going to jail. I'm calling Kojak. Because he has an old dad and we watch Kojak. And he loves Kojak. And one of my favorite, like, I don't know if you guys had this with kids when you realize how much you're going to be friends with them for your whole life. I was sitting on the couch when my son was three. And we're watching Kojak, right? So it's an old school cop show. So basically anybody who isn't white is running down an alley with a knife. You know what I mean? So it's like this 20-year-old Puerto Rican actor in like the prime of his life. And he's sprinting down this alley.

50:59and he's getting chased by the character Stavos, who's Tully Savalas' real brother. And he has a full head of curly hair and he's fat. He looks like a fucking weeble. And he's chasing this shredded Latino kid. So they show the Latino kid flies down the fucking alley like an Olympian. And then Stavos and his loafers is running by. And my son is just watching Stavos running. Then he just goes, three years old, he just goes. And I looked at him and I started laughing. We both just started cracking up. and I was like, oh my God, that's it. We're going to smoke cigars. I'm in. I'm in with this dude.

51:33That is great. Yeah. I love that. Well, Billy, it's so nice to meet you. We've taken way too much of your time. I know you got to go. You got a gig tonight, blah, blah, blah. Listen, don't put your schedule on me. I was ready to fucking put my schedule up. I always do. But I didn't get to talk about this. Listen, Bill, I know you got a personal chef who just made you a fucking egg salad sandwich, no bread.

51:55Exactly. You can smell it from here. Hey, before I go, Sean, when you did that Jerry Lewis, that was one of my favorite things. Oh, thanks, man. I thought you nailed that. And obviously, Ozark was one of my favorite shows. And Will, I got nothing. Here we go, here we go. Here we go. I knew it, I knew it. No, no, no. I'll tell you what, being a dad, Lego Batman is fucking amazing. Barbara. It's fucking amazing. Thank you. Thank you, Bill. It's fucking amazing. Yeah, thank you. Well, Bill, you're the king. You were very nice to do. It makes the kids laugh. No, you guys are going to take your fucking compliments.

52:30Well, thank you for doing this. It's very, very nice of you. Thank you, Bill. Thank you guys for having me. We love you, Bill. Despite everything, we love you. All right.

And then he was going to be on. I knew he was going to be on at one point because I think I, I forget how I knew that. And I wanted to have him on and I've known him for a long time. And I really do love the guy even though it seems like we're enemies. He's hilarious. I want to act with him. Yeah, he's really good. He's fun on set. Oh, I want to act with somebody. I want to be with my own. What was that, Whitney? Is that Whitney Houston?

53:29That is Whitney Houston, yeah. Jay, you never answered the question. I want to know what that was because last night I was thinking about it. Isn't it a weird thing to call action for the very first time in your life because you've only heard it? I actually do remember that moment. Yeah, try it as a young punk at 18 talking to a bunch of adults. Yeah, it was terrifying. Yeah, I was so... I just felt like such a fraud. Still do. No. Brilliant. so he was great I love him I've been a fan for a long time I did see no I realized why he lashed out to me I did see him in Albert Hall and he was fucking great he was awesome he absolutely destroyed and he shot a special from there and he destroyed but he can't he has a tough time taking a compliment he's got a lot of issues that are great yeah he seems like a good dude he's a funny funny funny dude he's one of the he's again he falls in that category of just like he has no choice he's naturally funny.

Yeah, this job I've got coming up, I've got to do a little bit of sign language. So I have to learn how to speak with my hands. Wait, that was Black Rabbit too with that guy, that character. Yeah, but my character didn't have to do it. But in this thing coming up, I've got to do a couple of scenes in sign language. Do you know what this means? That's a fuck you. Now, Will, apparently I only need 15 hours of you know based on to the bare minimum does that include portal to portal or exactly but I'm so curious because it's obviously it's not word for word or verbatim I'm so curious to learn just this first hour of what because it's kind of paraphrasing in general general words I guess I'll report back What is this in sign language?
