So true dude. Focus on achieving your goals and self-development and you will attract the right people to you, as opposed to spending your whole life chasing after that girl.
Amen to that. I see so many guys, and their biggest ambition is to have a hot girlfriend no matter what personality she has. Then she fucks them over and they get all depressed
S N it's not that black and white. bill is not racist. most people who really love bill are just normal people like me who need a laugh. yeah he's a little sexist but that's fine. we're human. we're not perfect.
This clip is the definition of why I love Bill. Some of the best advice I've heard and in a funny easy to understand format. I've never gotten half the advice he gives from my shitty parents. Fuckin brilliant man, keep it up.
I am 23, going through the exact same problem. I can't believe I came across this video at the moment I did. I want a career in film and music, but being 23 I feel as if I'm too old and have run out of time to be great. Terrific advice.
Jesus you’ve already fucking lost man. “Too old” at 23? Dude your brain hasn’t even fully developed yet. How are you too old? You’re 26 now which means you’re in your second year of being “prime” which is 25-30. Maybe up to 33-35 if you keep yourself really healthy and motivated. Now would be the time to put your foot on the gas pedal not think the race is already over. Jesus, next I’m gonna read comments from 20 year olds talking about “Am I too old for film school?”
Im 25 and on the same boat as the guy. Mid life crisis was around 40 but now the way shit is instead of mid life quarter life crisis. Can't even find a crappy min. wage job in my area nor get a girl. No friends and a dead social life. It sucks but i'll get there one day. We all will. Just gotta take things 1 day at a time.
I think it's important to surround yourself with positive people who actually have life goals. I'm in the same boat as this guy, except I'm 21. Don't be so hard on yourself man, there's a lot of us like you out there. Just try to anticipate what life is going to throw at you.
Professionals always give that advice but sometimes it's hard to know how to dump all your current friends, family and acquaintances and replace them with ambitious, active people. If I knew the exact person to call up who can hook me up with a better life I would but even then I'd suspect it's a scam.
MrCompassionate01 I don't think it literally means abandon your family and close friends. It has more to do with blocking out the negative energy and not letting it dictate your misery. The closest people are the most critical.
I don't know if this is gonna help anybody but i am 23 right now and i am in the same situation. No girlfriends, no interests, no hobbies nothing. And i get depressed sometimes from this and when that happens, this is what i do and i would advise others. If you've lost motivation to do anything that gives you a purpose in life, procrastinate HARD. Just lie down in bed and watch lots of bill burr or standup or anything that you like watching and keep watching it and procrastinating. With me, just 3 days of procrastination is enough to bring me back on my feet and get back the motivation to get things done.
One thing I love is when bill says that Dr. Phil thing pointing out how ridiculous that kind of (whatever it is I can’t articulate it but when he says it I kind of understand).
I find it weird that whenever you get depressed, people tell you to be more positive, but whenever you are positive, those same people will say some negative judgmental shit to bring you down. like wtf.
You're right. I recently had an upturn in my life and got with a great guy after years, well, decades of horrific shit. I tell my friend how great it is and all she can say is, "Be careful, don't get your hopes up, etc." Bollocks, people just can't let you be happy.
Bill talked about how a lot of his friends told him not to move to LA bc it's too hard there, but he decided not to listen to them, since he knew they were just jealous.
People should "do" instead of "be". Instead of telling people "just be positive and think this and that", I tell people to "go do positive things, something productive that you like to do". Most people who are feeling down and negative often engage in destructive things or they hangout with negative destructive people. You really should not spend time with people who are going nowhere or are constantly trying to bring you down".
I'm 22 years old who just graduated as an accountant and let me tell you something. You're advice is good but. Unfortunately Bill. Where I live you can't just do what you love. The only reason I majored accountant is to make a living because I knew back in high school doing what I love is not an option to make a good living in my country. Which is art. I'm not saying I will suck. I know I will be a great artist but There will be no income out of my work and end up broke. What funny is I can't even find a job as an accountant and I ended up broke and jobless Anyway. I love you're podcast keep it up.
I love art and became a graphic designer. I still draw to this day. Find out how your interests can translate to a societal need, or find a job you can tolerate while you build a side gig.
Most people want a companion. That's a pretty natural instinct. But I agree, you can't invest your happiness in another person. It's the worst thing you can do to yourself
6:40 makes me sad cuz im the person thats 23 n has pregnant gf. she's terrible n i guess i have to settle for doing something i don't like...but remain POSITIVE
If she's terrible, break up with her. You can still be a great parent and not be in a bad relationship. In fact, being in a shit relationship will make you a worse patent, guaranteed. Ok, you will always have a link with her via the child, but you don't need to get tied up to someone who is wrong for you at 23. I did it and I'm now 40 and only just starting to address it, what a waste.
+zeldagoblin thanks for the advice. what u said really made a lot of sense. its tough decision but i have to think of my own feelings n happiness n break up.
Joe Buck is the friggin worst sportscaster I've ever listened to. How does he rate for the world series? I heard he's got lineage connections cuz he has zero talent as a sportscaster. There are so many better sportscasters who are not zombies who lack enthusiasm. I feel sorry for all these other sportscasters who slogged thru sh-tstorms only to end up having Joe Buck cut in line in front of them. Nowadays colleges cost 50K so some people can get a masters in Poetry -that's as useless as these idiots who spend 50k so they can climb Mt Everest. Better off doing something practical like welding, plumbing-gas or electrical or tree trimmer.. People always need those guys & eventually you get good enough then you're your own boss. People always need those guys -will still be true in 30 years. By then you can program solar powered droids to pick fruit and veggies and have aerial drones do your tree trimming for ya and pick the fruit from the upper reaches of trees. Think ahead.
I like your advice. I don't know how it is where you are, but in my area plumbers and electricians are earning a bloody mint! They can almost name their price because they're so needed. You get training for that, you're set for life.

I just turned 22 and in the same situation as this bloke. Thank god I clicked on this shit. Cheers Billy
Same here man. Happy belated birthday
Hope 23 has been treating you better
What up 23 is tough to
I’m curious to know how you’re doing now, 3 years down the line

Holy shit, old Ben was a pistol and then some
Kenny Tee bruh when is his tape dropping????? Shit sounds dumb 🔥
Bill Burr always has the best life advice
Don't let a woman or having a woman in your life be your main goal or source of happiness as a man or you will end up depressed
This is true
So true dude. Focus on achieving your goals and self-development and you will attract the right people to you, as opposed to spending your whole life chasing after that girl.
imagination astronaut thanks for that man
it's like what they say, you need to love yourself to love someone else not the other way around or else your dependent on them
Amen to that. I see so many guys, and their biggest ambition is to have a hot girlfriend no matter what personality she has. Then she fucks them over and they get all depressed
I don't get all the hate for nia. I really enjoyed what they had to say. It really helped me.
It's just sad celebrity worship, like One Direction fan girls who hate on band members' girlfriends.
S N it's not that black and white. bill is not racist. most people who really love bill are just normal people like me who need a laugh. yeah he's a little sexist but that's fine. we're human. we're not perfect.
it's Mia dumbass
Nutt Nasty it is Nia.
Kermicheo Kermit
Hate is a feeling and feelings are mostly irrational. You can’t reason here. No point of doing so.

+Cameron Ray have you started yet? its been ten hours.....
+Cameron Ray so does every other 23yo kid as well. Never happened to me no matter how I tried. You gonna fail.
+xevvy vidoes i heard conor mcgregor

Facts 6 years later going on 7. Man. You’re almost 30, how’s life treating ya?

TheGoodOl'Days I would tread lightly with that methodology
Yeah. I'm 24 and have a dead end job. Lack of passion got me here.
roteir there's still time. It seems so impossible but you CAN change your life in one way or another. All the best
Thanks Bill
"When we come back I yell at more men!" HAHAHAHAHA
It’s so damn true that not being tied down is a massive blessing. I would totally change my career over if I had that freedom.
Nia always sounds like she just lost her voice from a bad cold or screaming at bill. 😁 seriously someone get this woman a glass of water!
I'm in the same boat as this guy, but I'm 16. I think they gave some really good advice here.
I did 106 press ups earlier in 106 sets of 1.
ibuprofen303 daaaaaamn
Better than 0 sets of 0
Thanks for posting this. It really helped me out.
That Dr. Phil impression was hilarious!!
This was the best one for advice.
I might've needed this :D

TS Eliot worked in a bank while he was writing The Wasteland. Having a boring 9-5 shouldn’t stop you from making art.

What did you major in
Why put happiness on women? Have fun go travel save up and spoil the shit outta yourself. They are too much of a hassle than anything nowadays
Most people want a companion. That's a pretty natural instinct. But I agree, you can't invest your happiness in another person. It's the worst thing you can do to yourself
Wondering what Bill was studying in college
RedHeadOlogy
he was doing radio
You finished college
