Bill Burr gets emotional talking about the death of Bob Saget: “The first 40 years of your life you’re gathering people and the last 40 years [you’re] losing people. But how you beat that is to help out younger people or else you don’t really have a purpose and you’re just lonely.”
i want to give credit to the interviewer here (senior writer at Vulture, Jesse David Fox), i feel like a lot of podcasters would’ve interrupted but he let Bill gather his thoughts even though there was long stretches of silence.
it really shows the difference between a professional and most of the podcast bros out there

I appreciate Bill willing to put himself out there to try and articulate what Bob meant to him. Bob was revered by so many in comedy, and his passing was a huge, huge loss for the community.
