Okay.

All that shit.
Bert Kreischer
You said something on Rogan. When you're on Rogan, which was one. It's my favorite appearance. I love when people show exactly who they are on Rogan.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And you can tell. And you know, I love Joe, but Joe sometimes doesn't know how to handle super, super realness. Cause he's in control. You walked in and you were like, my dad's a huge fan. And Joe's like, well, I'd love to meet your dad. And you go, you just met him. And he's like, I did and then you. And then you went off. You started talking about your mom and what a gangster she was and how you lost her at 8 and how you've been a man. And, man, it was so fun to listen to you because you could tell you're a fan of Joe's, that you were excited to be there, that you got this Persona, but you dropped it and you were just Virgil.
Virgil
Yeah, man. I mean, first of all, I don't know what else to be, but I just. I know he's a brilliant mind, and I did. I didn't want to look like a dumbass around him. I don't even know if he knows, but I didn't smoke the whole interview either.
Bert Kreischer
Really?
Virgil
Yeah, I just. I just wanted to be on point with him. I just wanted to. Cuz, like, I know he. With my music. I didn't want to give him anything that was less to make him be like, oh, I don't like this dude.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? I just wanted to be on.
Tom Segura
You wanted to be more in control, too, right?
Bert Kreischer
Like, yeah.
Virgil
That's all it was.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Virgil
I. With Rogan, though, tough man. He got some cool even from Fear Factor, you know what I'm saying?
Tom Segura
Fear Factor was fun, dude.
Virgil
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
That.
Tom Segura
Those days, like, when he was just on that show and that's. I think that's probably when he was. That's not long after he. See, he used to. Not with weed, so people don't know that, like, he was like.
Bert Kreischer
He was what they call a drip.
Virgil
He was cocaine.
Bert Kreischer
Like, you think he's a cop?
Tom Segura
Yeah, he was, like, not into it. And then I think when he, like, was really progressing through jujitsu, now he's, like, all in. But yeah, his. Like, his closest. One of his closest buddies, Eddie Bravo, who's like a Jiu Jitsu savant.
Virgil
Okay.
Tom Segura
Is re. Like loves weed and actually says that, like, you know, it helps you in Jiu Jitsu.
Virgil
Wow.
Tom Segura
And then. So Joe got into that, I think, in that era, in the Fear Factor era. And you could see, like, footage of him before he smokes weed and then after.
Virgil
Yeah, no, definitely.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Because I think he would be pretty high in those broadcasts towards the end.
Virgil
Who was. Who was hosting it after him? There was. It came back. Was it Tracy?
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no, it was him.
Tom Segura
It was him. And then they had. Then they had like, a third return.
Virgil
Yeah, maybe it was a third somebody else. I think it was Tracy Morgan. Right.
Tom Segura
I don't know. That'd be perfect host for that show.
Virgil
I think it was Tracy Morgan.
Tom Segura
It might have been.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Dude, let me ask you this because I've been. I think about this all the time. Cuz I lived here 19 years before I moved to Austin and there is such a difference in Mexican food.
Virgil
Oh, oh, yeah.
Tom Segura
And Tex Mex and Cali, like here.
Virgil
Well, first of all, I think they use goat out here a lot.
Bert Kreischer
Goat?
Virgil
Yeah, we use. We eat it with brisket. Like Biryan. Yeah, it is goat that if out here. It is.
Bert Kreischer
I think I've been cooking it wrong.
Virgil
You use brisket, right?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I use brisket.
Virgil
Nah, that's the cool way. Yeah. I mean, to me, that's the right way.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
Some people like that goat meat though. Really? It's just. It's too something for me. It's too. Have you not.
Tom Segura
Have you done tacos here and then in. In Texas?
Bert Kreischer
I don't think. Yeah, of course. I.
Virgil
That's some Tex Max ass.
Bert Kreischer
That's the. That's where it's like the burrito.
Virgil
Deep fried.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, deep fried. Yeah, I have. Yeah. But I think just at Water Burger.
Virgil
What the. A chimichanga at Water Burger.
Bert Kreischer
I With Water Burger.
Virgil
I with water beasy too, but a chimichanga.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
That boy is different.
Tom Segura
You were with Whataburger, probably in Tallahassee.
Bert Kreischer
Tallahassee, yeah.
Virgil
So I don't.
Bert Kreischer
I don't drink and drive.
Virgil
No.
Bert Kreischer
But I also. I don't count drinking. I don't count drinking and driving to Water Burger.
Virgil
That's the only exception.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Like if you got pulled over and you were like, but I'm just going to Water Burger.
Virgil
He's gonna be like, oh, bet I'll let you go.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, it's like when. Remember when Charles Barky got pulled over and he was like, let me explain something. Yes, I am drunk, but I'm going to get my dick sucked. And as if the cops are like, no, I get him.
Virgil
I got. Yeah, yeah. Nah, I ain't gonna lie. You know, it's killing Whataburger to me though. Whataburger. And in and out. The five guys, bro.
Tom Segura
Five guys.
Virgil
Goodness.
Tom Segura
Do you put them at the top?
Virgil
I've definitely put them for me personally.
Bert Kreischer
For you?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
I smack that down. Basket of fries, the whole bag of fries. And I just like that burger because it melts like that. Just. It just. It tastes and feel like a burger supposed to taste and feel.
Tom Segura
I'm biased. Like, I have a lot of love for in n out, but when Shake Shack started with those smash Burgers. Something about a smash. Like, the simplicity of it. And that griddle they use to like to. You know what I mean, for that meat. I love a Shake Shack.
Bert Kreischer
There's a burger they have in an airport. I think it's in Cincinnati, where they. They put so much cheese on it, it, like, hardens and it. And it. And it falls over the side.
Virgil
Y' all ever have fud ruckers? Remember, Fud ruckers was the best. It was.
Tom Segura
They have, like, 45 options of birds.
Bert Kreischer
There were two places in the world where my dad would tell me, my dad would shut it down. At Fud Ruckers and at Bennegan, whenever I saw fajitas, he'd like, forget about it, buddy. Oh, my God. That's. Oh, my God. No, it's like old school, 80s thing. It's like the first place to introduce fajitas to white people.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And then be Fud Ruckers. They let you build your own burger.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And, man, my. Even as, like, a 10 year old, I'd be like, I need one pound burger. I need big bun. I need extra cheese. My dad's like, buddy, you're £100.
Tom Segura
Oh, I know.
Virgil
Can y' all cook?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Yeah.
Virgil
I can't cook for you.
Tom Segura
Love to cook.
Bert Kreischer
I love cooking. I have a cooking show. Yeah. That's why we bought this house, to do my cooking show here. Damn, I love to cook.
Virgil
What's your favorite thing to cook?
Bert Kreischer
I mean, honestly? I mean, I made lasagna yesterday or the other day for Black Eyed Keys. Black. Black Keys.
Virgil
Oh, the Black Keys.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
You talking about.
Bert Kreischer
You know, I made them shrimp and grits. It was crazy. With caviar on top.
Virgil
I put sugar in my grits. I don't know if I'm tripping or not.
Tom Segura
That's a little spin on it. I like it.
Bert Kreischer
Cheese and butter. You might be related to my wife.
Virgil
No, Maybe. Maybe it's just a Southern thing.
Tom Segura
That's a Southern thing for sure.
Virgil
I've always wanted to, like. I wish I can cook, though.
Bert Kreischer
Really?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I.
Virgil
When I was a kid, I was. I was. I learned how to make eggs, but then I forgot.
Tom Segura
Please cut that out and use that as a promo. I forgot how to make eggs. We got to do a tutorial today. Wait. What's your favorite way. I love eggs. What's your favorite way to have eggs?
Virgil
Man, I got to have it as an omelette.
Tom Segura
An omelet?
Virgil
Yeah, I think I got an omelette.
Tom Segura
We should do an omelette.
Bert Kreischer
Hold on. French omelette. Have you heard of French omelette? No, T. So French omelette is like the perfect omelette, but they make it a certain way. There's a certain way to cook it. Just like French scrambled eggs.
Tom Segura
Soft.
Bert Kreischer
Are super soft and super runny.
Virgil
I don't think I've ever had anything French besides toast.
Tom Segura
So you gotta have a. You gotta try French style. Also, like the tr. You like salmon? Do you like fish?
Virgil
Actually, I do love salmon. My dad, he used to make me salmon, and he would, like, get cranberries and shove them in the patty and then cook it like that.
Tom Segura
Dude, like, the traditional French way of making a salmon fillet is so simple. It's the best thing, the best way to have salmon.
Virgil
I ain't gonna lie. What, like steak, mashed potatoes, Any barbecue? Yeah, I could survive off that.
Tom Segura
Yeah, sure.
Virgil
Those things I love.
Tom Segura
The only thing I do, like, regularly.
Virgil
Bacon.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah, I do. I do steak a lot.
Bert Kreischer
I'm a big steak. I made Leanne Wagyu, New York strip with mashed potatoes the other night.
Tom Segura
Yeah, the thing.
Virgil
Dude, please tell me you agree with this, bro. So I seen this dude, and he had a undercover camera on him, and he snuck into a cow farm, and, bro, the way they treated these cows was horrible. Have you ever seen people like. People like that deserve that? You need. You need to go to hell.
Tom Segura
Yeah, that's bad.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? Because, like, with doing a human crazy, it's like, all right, sometimes people deserve to get slapped shit out of. Yeah, yeah, that animal, bro.
Tom Segura
The animal abuse, like, in some of those. It's gross.
Virgil
Hey, that is brutal, bro. So anyways, like, you know that, like, that energy is real.
Bert Kreischer
I think it goes into your body.
Virgil
And they mass produce, so they. This. This animal, full fear, full just being. You know what I'm saying? Like, anything that's just bad.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
And then it's. It dies. And it has that energy still. Then they feed it to us.
Bert Kreischer
I want them. Oh, you know what I want them to do? I want them to. I mean, I kind of like the idea of what Joe does, where he hunts his own shit. I wish that you could source that through a group of friends.
Virgil
Right?
Bert Kreischer
The three of us could go in on an elk.
Virgil
Damn, that's a business.
Bert Kreischer
I would do it if you told me, like, if you said, like, the three of us within a year are gonna eat two cows, two pigs, two elk, and we just put our money in for the year and we know it gets shipped to us. And we know that it was haunted or it was killed humanely. Like I would be into that. That's why I don't eat octopus anymore.
Virgil
Do you like hunting?
Bert Kreischer
Never hunted.
Virgil
How the. I need to take you hunting. How do they kill, bro? Wow. I'll give you. We'll get like five pounds of tannerite, put dog food on that and then let like a family of 30 pigs get on there, blow them all over.
Bert Kreischer
We got to do that.
Virgil
We do.
Bert Kreischer
Dude, shooting is fun.
Virgil
As I have you in a helicopter shooting.
Bert Kreischer
Really?
Virgil
Hell yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Those are the invasives. We have those in Florida. Those pores that. Yeah, bro.
Virgil
Like, I mean imagine for five years, you and your boy growing this garden and in the night, you know what I'm saying? In one night, the whole family of like 50 pigs just take it all out.
Tom Segura
Holy.
Virgil
And they took your dog.
Tom Segura
If you like to hunt, by the way, go to Australia.
Virgil
Australia? Yeah. What are you catching out there?
Tom Segura
Well, first of all, there's any time of year you can kill a kangaroo.
Bert Kreischer
No. Are you serious?
Virgil
Hunting kangaroos a thing.
Tom Segura
Oh, you can go up to with a knife and just slit its throat. And they're like good. Cuz they see it as like. Like a. Like a. A rat infest.
Virgil
They are overrun.
Tom Segura
Like the bores. Yeah, yeah. You can just go up and kill at any time.
Virgil
That's insane.
Bert Kreischer
For real?
Tom Segura
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
What the.
Virgil
A kangaroo?
Tom Segura
Yeah, it's a problem. Like they all. Some of them are 70 foot, right? No, I don't think that tall, but can you google that? Yeah, it's.
Virgil
I remember Kangaroo Jack, the movie. Yeah, that was my. How tall here with the Twizzlers.
Bert Kreischer
Six feet.
Tom Segura
Six feet.
Virgil
Oh, that's.
Tom Segura
I mean that's still pretty big, man. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Did you ever see the shaved kangaroo?
Tom Segura
See the jacked ones?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, they're jacked as.
Virgil
Yeah, Same thing with the bears.
Tom Segura
You know what they'll do too, right? Like a really aggressive one. They'll sit back on their tail. The tail will hold them up and then the. The town, they can disembowel you. They can split you right open.
Virgil
Dude. Yeah, bro. Look at that. Looks like Rogan. Hey. No, when I went to give him a hug, I was like, you're stiff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like holding a cinder block.
Tom Segura
Yeah, he's a lunatic. Yeah, he's never been out of shape. That's the thing. He's just never been out of shape.
Virgil
And then bro, he was. I. I saw the interview. He was talking about those neuro gums or the mints. Have you tried those? Yeah, I've been wanting to get them.
Tom Segura
They're great.
Virgil
Yeah. You with them?
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, they really work. They really. They're great.
Virgil
Yeah, man. Because that, bro. Cause, you know, I'm high all the time, and I like being on point, and sometimes I just be high, you know?
Bert Kreischer
Do you show tonight?
Virgil
No, no, sir.
Bert Kreischer
We just out here partying n hell.
Virgil
Nah, I don't really party too much. I. I just came out here to promo. Oh, really? I got my, my project Recess coming soon. Yeah, so I just been with that.
Bert Kreischer
I love your style because you, you have, you have, like, tradi. What you call traditional rap, and then you have. What is it? Cowboy Killer. It's a little more fun. And you, you just kind of take.
Virgil
I got to send you the project.
Bert Kreischer
The new one with Lil Wayne's.
Virgil
Awesome. Thank you, bro. I got one called Weed Eater. All. You got to jam it.
Bert Kreischer
God, man. It's just, it's like the thing I love about comedy is when, you know, look, there's certain guys have a certain angle, and they do it a certain way, and then there's guys who just around you just have. Everything's funny to them. They just want to laugh. I got an ashtray.
Virgil
Thank you, cousin.
Bert Kreischer
But that's what I love about your style.
Virgil
Thank you, bro.
Bert Kreischer
Is. It's, it is. It's just what you find fun.
Virgil
And it's exactly what it is. Like, I've been meeting up with all of these labels and shit, and they're like, well, why are you calling the project Recess? And it's. I still feel like I'm a kid. I still feel like homeboy beating on the table, table. And we're at the lunchroom, and we're just going in. My dad's a personal trainer, and when he trains people, he tells them all the time. He tells them all the time. Excuse me. You stop working out when they took Recess out of your life. You know what I'm saying? So when you come in here, don't look at it like going to the gym. Just be a kid. Just come in here and have fun, dude.
Tom Segura
That's a great perspective. Yeah, that's great.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
So.
Tom Segura
And it's, it's great for, like, fitness, health stuff, but it actually, like, is something that, like, as adults, I feel like we should embrace for our creative, too. Like, how fun.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? Like, man, like, I, I. It's working for me because I'm still being a kid with this. You go on that stage and you still being that kid. You know what I'm saying? And I think that's why I work and that's why I feel good.
Tom Segura
I think that's what, like when I did the. The show Bad Thoughts.

Oh, he's a ho. That was some straight ho ass. That's up. And you got a real concussion from that.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I fought a bear during this. I was a dominatrix gimp. I swam out of the cage of great white sharks. Just type in dominatrix gimp and you'll see it. I just shot a porn, basically.
Virgil
Oh, nice.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, they put like 10 pound weights on my balls and shocks my with an electrode and nipple clamps and.
Virgil
Whoa.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, they wanted to put electrodes inside the head of my dick.
Virgil
Whoa.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, but I wouldn't let them.
Tom Segura
That's probably a good line.
Virgil
Hey, I was a kid. I was a kid and I watched this porno and it was like they were showing behind the scenes and.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
And this dude, it goes to this dude and he's like, kids don't smoke. And it goes down to his dick and he has a cigarette in his me up stuff.
Bert Kreischer
You never forget that you saw as a porn. Yeah, yeah, I remember we were in. We were in like 10th grade. No, it was, it was. I must have been in college and someone's like, yeah, put in a porn. You know, you just kind of watch it on the side. And I remember the one girl put her foot in another girl's and I went. And I was like, what the. And I was like, why is that turning me on?
Virgil
Hey, no. When I was watching those porn stars and like the behind the scenes and I was like, I respect that because like there was this one scene where homeboy was hitting homegirl and he. The director's like. And hold it, hold it and climb ax. And they're like, ah, yeah, yeah, It's a beast, bro. Like, you really got to be in there.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I can think back to strippers, to. I. I have one stripper that I think about.
Virgil
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
If I ever think about strip clubs, this one stripper, it was Jason Nash's bachelor party. It was in the Valley, a place called Valley Dolls. And she had cholita tattooed across her stomach.
Virgil
Sounds like she's gonna ruin your life.
Bert Kreischer
I was like, I bet this girl would trash me, right? God, I don't know, man.
Virgil
Those drip clothes, they too much. I'll get in trouble, though.
Bert Kreischer
I don't. I don't usually get in, you know. So funny. When I was younger, I did when I got married and I knew that I was allowed to go, I kind of was, like, I tried and that. I think my wife's older. So, like, we were talking about it. I got a lap dance the other day and I was like, this doesn't feel like what I'm used to. Like, where are her moles? Oh, that's too smooth. What is this, a volleyball?
Virgil
Last time I was in the football, something with lumps, I was with Ralph and I was talking to this girl. I'm so trash. I'm talking to her. I threw up in the trash can and pick back up and keep talking to the bitch. I was like, I gotta get the out of here, cuz I thought that was smooth as, like, I thought I couldn't have played that off better.
Tom Segura
I puked over here. What's up?
Virgil
Yeah, no, and I mean, I got the numbers, so it didn't matter.
Tom Segura
Hey, it worked, man.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
I gotta ask something about. I want to ask about rapping, because, like, in. In comedy, when you're starting out, coming up, we like, you know, we bomb sometimes, right? And it's so you're like, yeah, I'm good at this, right? And you go and you just eat and it sits with you. You're like. It's like the dirtiest feeling when you're, like, trying to get started. Do you have moments where you were like, whatever, Whether it's a freestyle or some, and you just eat. Like, as a rapper, I don't think.
Virgil
I've had that moment yet. No, but I.
Tom Segura
Well, you're not gonna have it now. I meant like when you're, like, trying to figure it out. Like, I don't know.
Virgil
So.
Tom Segura
Damn. So it was always just working for you?
Virgil
Yeah, I mean, well, you gotta understand. Well, maybe when I was trying to look like a rapper, okay, it wasn't working. I threw the Js on, had my jeans, you know. Yeah, whatever, you know, Trying to look like a rapper.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
And it Just. It didn't even feel comfortable, you know what I'm saying?
Tom Segura
Because you weren't being yourself, you know?
Virgil
And then one day I just showed up, like, me and if just took off.
Tom Segura
Yeah, that's awesome.
Virgil
But as far as, like the. The rap wise, like the. The rapping. No, you gotta understand, like, the way Mayweather was walking, he was in a boxing gym. As soon as I was talking, I was in the studio.
Tom Segura
Seriously?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
My mama, he's been rapping since he was like, four.
Virgil
Yes, mama, yes. My mama gave me my first rap name and she was the one that wanted me to be a rapper. You know what I'm saying? Hell, yeah. And then, you know, my. I would go to see my dad in prison and I would go rap to him through the glass, and he likes that shit. So, you know, my uncles and my cousins were doing it.
Tom Segura
So you were training at 4.
Virgil
Literally. Not even knowing though. Right, right. Just doing it.
Tom Segura
It's just part of life.
Virgil
I felt I was with my kin folks doing it, and I felt grown because they was grown and, you know, and I'm talking about some grown. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
It just felt cool and I just. It just kind of worked out for me, man. I'm grateful.
Bert Kreischer
Your mom moved to. Did your mom move to San Francisco or. I was. I can't remember. Your mom, your dad went to prison, your parents split up, right?
Virgil
My. My mama told my dad she was on birth control, I think.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, for real?
Virgil
Yeah, I think so.
Bert Kreischer
She was 18 when she had you, right?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And then she moved. He went to prison. She moved. Did she just move to where you live now?
Virgil
No, she stayed in Bay City.
Bert Kreischer
I heard Bay City, and I immediately thought San Francisco.
Virgil
Oh, no. Yeah, that's the Bay Area.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Yeah, Bay City. So she moved to Bay City and your mom was a gangster?
Virgil
Yeah, 1,000%. Like, still to this day, like, I remember a lot of. A lot. I go back to the hood, a lot of dudes be bringing her up, and like, I don't want to hear that shit. Cause, like, in my mind, you was fucking my mama. You know what I'm saying? For real. Cause like, my mama, you know, man, my mama, you know, she was living. You know what I'm saying? And so I ain't ever want to hear that. But one day my buddy Boom sat me down and he was like, bro, these people really respect your mama. Like, he said, I just don't want. He like, I see you feel that way, and I don't Want you to feel that way because you shouldn't. Like, I ain't trying to tell you this to make you feel good. I would just left it alone.
Bert Kreischer
This is the best vodka in the world. You're talking to a man who's put 10,000 hours into a couple things. Eating pussy and drinking vodka. I'll bring my wife in if you want. I'm pretty good at the first one, too. But this is better than pussy. This is the best vodka you're ever going to have. It's clean. I sleep score. My sleep score is through the roof because of it. It tastes clean. Everyone I've given it to loves this vodka.
Tom Segura
Tom, tell them it's absolutely fantastic. We have a proprietary distillation process. And listen, we are winning competitions. We have gold medals in various competitions. And honestly, you the people are the ones telling us how great it is, too. This is not just smoke that we're blowing here.
Bert Kreischer
We.
Tom Segura
We're telling you because you're telling us. This is now your favorite vodka. So thank you. And if you haven't tried porosos, get out to the store. If they don't carry it, tell them you want them to carry it.
Bert Kreischer
Tell them, request it. When you go to the bar, you say, hey, do you carry porosos? And if they say, no, go, you should. It's pretty freaking awesome.
Tom Segura
And then walk out.
Bert Kreischer
You know what I do? I go, do you carry porosos? And they say, no, I bring out a bottle, I give it to them. I go, now you do. Can I get a bottle? A glass of porosos?
Tom Segura
That's awesome. That's awesome.
Virgil
Right? Like your mama was solid and a gangster. They didn't look at my mama. No. They thought, you know, to them she was black.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? Just in the hood every day and just with them thugging. Just cooled in the man. I'll show you some pictures of mine.
Bert Kreischer
I couldn't find a picture of your mom online. Yeah, because you describe, you say every time you hear high heels, you think of your mom.
Virgil
Yes, man, he knows I used to be in daycare. And every time I heard them high heels coming, I knew it was my mama. Well, nobody else mama wearing.
Tom Segura
It's crazy how those memories sit with you.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
You know, like a sound, a smell, something takes you right back.
Virgil
Yeah, man, I miss. I wish I remember her perfume. I remember when she passed. I remember her smell for a little bit. About two, three years later, it went away. But I remember I was in Walmart one day and I was in the aisle and I smelt it, and I was like, what the is that? And it's me up. Ever since then, I've always tried to remember what her scent was.
Bert Kreischer
I bet you could figure it out based on the year and what was popular.
Virgil
Right?
Bert Kreischer
Like, I know for a fact I had the same thing with the girl I lost my virginity to. Had a very popular. I had a smell.
Virgil
Nice.
Bert Kreischer
And I smell gave me an anxiety attack when I smelled it. So I wasn't really good at having sex.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
So I smelled it, and anytime I smelled it, I have an anxiety attack. That's good. And it was crazy. And then I was like, I just need to stay away from that smell. And then some, I think was my little sister was like, what smell was it? And I was like, I don't know, 1987, whatever was popular. And they were like, colors. It was a. Colors, colors. It's really. But, man, when I smell it, I mean, I get pulled back.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
It's funny enough, I shouldn't be telling the story because it's only about me, but when I met my wife, I was allergic to cats, and I wouldn't go to her house because I had allergies. She said she broke up with me, and she goes, you know, one of the reasons is I need someone who would be able to live with the cats. I got to live with cats. So I got on allergy medicine for the first time. I'm 26 years old. Yeah, 20. No, 29.
Virgil
She left you for the cats?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
That's crazy.
Bert Kreischer
And we have cats. To this day, we have two cats in our house sick. And I put on allergy medicine, and for the first time in my life, I could smell things.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
The first thing I smelled was jasmine. The second thing I smelled was lilies. So now every time I smell jasmine or lilies, I think of Leanne because I never smelled a flower in my life, because my allergies.
Tom Segura
Really?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. And so every time. But smells so wild.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I bet you could find your mom's scent.
Virgil
Nah, I'm sure. But remember I was telling you earlier, I already got a up nose. I got to get some type of surgery to get it fixed. I got into a fight with this kid named Jack Tar. We used to have the boxing gloves in our locker room, and we just go hard.
Bert Kreischer
Really?
Virgil
And Jack Tar, you know, I was strong, and a lot of people didn't want to with me, and. Because I was just icy. And. And this one dude, Jack, he wasn't really good at Fighting, but just corn fed ass talking about legs look like tree stumps, you know? And we're fighting them, going hard, and I'm eating them alive, bro. And then he caught me with this lucky ass punch. Bam. Hit my ass. And I remember I was dazed, you know what I'm saying? If he would have followed up with another one, he would knock my ass out. You remember Dante, bro? Dante steps in, he's like, whoa. Yeah, he's all right. He talks like he's inbred, but you know what I'm saying? He was like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no. Right now. No. You know, and he saved my life, but ever since then, my nose has been up, so I got to get that done.
Tom Segura
Yeah, that's going to change your way you feel completely, man.
Virgil
No, I believe it. Even. Even. Remember I was telling you earlier about the gag and trying to inhale a lot. Like, I think it's because I just got so much gunk in there, it made my ears feel up. I get bad ear infections, you know? Oh, yeah, bro. I'll shower and get an ear infection. Yeah, shit's bad. But I think it's because, like, I'm just definitely.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
He's Captain Surgery. He goes to a doctor. If he feels something wrong, he goes to a doctor immediately.
Virgil
You're getting those IVs.
Bert Kreischer
I get one yesterday. That's why I'm so bloated.
Virgil
Yeah, me too. I got one yesterday. I love that.
Tom Segura
Yeah, stem cells, too. I get stem cell injections.
Virgil
What, like a stem on Black ops.
Tom Segura
And dude, I got. This week, I got three different kinds. I got stem cell iv, I got direct inject, stem cell. And then they put stem cells in like this inhaler. So, like, the vapors go in. Yeah, all three.
Virgil
That sounds good.
Tom Segura
Do that at Ways to. Well, in Austin. You can come to Austin. I'll set you up. The place is amazing.
Virgil
Hey, what's up? I've been trying to go to Tony so bad. He wants me there. I just be busy with my ass.

Tom Segura
Japan? Let me tell you something, man. I. I went for the first time last year.
Virgil
Sick.
Tom Segura
In all, I've been to, like, I don't know, 50 countries everywhere. That's the most amazing place that I've been.
Virgil
Is it true that it's just so clean and nice there? Like, I heard a story, somebody was up and he fell asleep in the street, and they woke up with a bunch of water bottles around them.
Tom Segura
I believe it. The Japanese culture is incredible.
Bert Kreischer
It's quiet. It is like, you get on the subway, no one's talking. Everyone gets off subway, no one's talking. And then. And then you go to, like, Vietnam. Totally different.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Via Viet. Vietnamese. Vietnam is so loud. And then it's like. It's Japan. No one's touching each other in Vietnam. It's like they're putting their fingers in your mouth. Did you pick talking me? What the Going on? Yeah, the traffic's chaos. Japan's out of this world fun, and the food is crazy.
Tom Segura
List, dude. Everything you eat there. Everything?
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
A tomato, a grape, a strawberry, lettuce, crab, whatever you have, I swear to you'll be like, this is the best tomato I've ever had in my life.
Virgil
Like, everything out there, they're not cooking, like, oh, they.
Tom Segura
Their steak is outrageously not horse.
Bert Kreischer
No, no. Wait, wait. Can I do you. Could you do. Could you tour, like, Mexico and do. And rap in Mexico? And would it have the same translation as it does in Texas?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
That's so much money.
Tom Segura
Have you done. Have you performed in Mexico? No, I did Mexico City.
Virgil
That's hard.
Tom Segura
It was awesome.
Virgil
Yeah. I was kind of scared to go to Mexico, too, though. You know what I'm saying? Because, like, it's just. It's bro, it's. I mean, I love Mexico. I used to go there as a kid all the time. You know what I'm saying? But, like, it's just getting ugly, bro. I feel like it's getting ugly, and you're the.
Bert Kreischer
You're the guy that, like. I mean, I'm not. I'm just saying, like, if you're a cartel leader and you're gonna look.
Virgil
He gonna look at my tattoos and be like, that's not us.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, I didn't even realize that. Oh, yeah. That is crazy.
Virgil
Yeah. It's deeper, you know?
Tom Segura
But Mexico City is so bilingual.
Virgil
Yeah. No, I believe it.
Tom Segura
Yeah. So, like, the show. Like, I did. I did Buenos Aires. I did Argentina. I did Santiago, Chile, and then I did Mexico City. Mexico City was like. It was just like you're performing in Houston. Like it was you. You were. You wouldn't know you were out of the country.
Virgil
No, I believe it. That sounds cool. As though it was radio. I was. I had a. I got a song with Lefty SM and they shot his out there and it looked cool and I was like, I wish I went, but like, I just be living in fear with that. I feel like I don't heard too many stories.
Tom Segura
There's a lot of crazy stories.
Bert Kreischer
For sure, bro.
Virgil
Because that is real.
Tom Segura
That's real?
Virgil
Yeah, that shit is completely real.
Bert Kreischer
Well, not if you're white like me. It's not real at all. I walk around Mexico City. Mexico City with a Rolex on, like, what's up, fellas?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Two DNA cigars.
Virgil
Nah, but it can happen, though.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, I know. I mean, I.
Virgil
You gotta understand. You got that. Go home and look at their grandma's stomach. Touch their back every day. I don't give a About that. I need what you got.
Bert Kreischer
You know, I don't even know what you said, but it scared the out of me. I was like, touch your grandmother's stomach.
Virgil
No, I say, you got that. Go home every day and watch that grandmama's stomach touch their bed like they starving.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Virgil
You were in a cold house.
Bert Kreischer
I liked it. I liked it better the way you said it. The way I heard it. Just dudes going home, touching the grandmother's stomach and then touching the bathroom. I'll be back, grandma.
Tom Segura
I also had zero understanding of what you said, but I was like, yeah, that does sound scary, man.
Virgil
No, for real, though. Like, these people don't care.
Bert Kreischer
God, you. Your. Your perception of the world is so different than my perception of the world.
Virgil
Right.
Bert Kreischer
Like, I look at it, I really am like, not just glass half full, but glass overflowing.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I see opportunity everywhere. And I. I think sometimes the problem is you don't. You don't realize like that. Yeah. I guess the world doesn't see that that way.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Not everyone's given just like opportunity after opportunity. Yeah.
Virgil
And then some people like, they. Some. Some like. Because I've been in this game long enough to where I can. I've said my beliefs and I've had my ways and people don't like it and agree with it. So I feel like I've. I've lost a lot of. A lot of my meskins, but I'm not really.
Bert Kreischer
They.
Tom Segura
They're not like Mexicans in general. Not some of them are Just not fans. Because of your beliefs.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Really.
Virgil
Because of what I. Who I. Who I like, what I'm into.
Bert Kreischer
Who do you like?
Virgil
You know, man, I mean, it can be anything. Like, they might not like what I think politically.
Bert Kreischer
All right.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? And.
Tom Segura
But the other side of that is religiously or. Anyway, there's some people who probably hear what you say and they go, I love this, though.
Virgil
Yeah. I mean, some people are like. I don't agree with them, but I love them.
Bert Kreischer
Right.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? Like, I mean, just because you like to eat or cook or whatever, the. I'm not gonna not like you because you like that.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
Is what you like.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
Is what you're into at your belief.
Bert Kreischer
It's so funny. The thing that might rub people wrong is the thing that draws me in.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Like, I. I just like that you're really, authentically you.
Virgil
I thank you, bro.
Bert Kreischer
I mean, every part about you is like, just. It is not. It is not manufactured by. By. By an industry. It is just you. It's. You know, that's so. That's so interesting.
Virgil
No, I like it, man. I think it's cool, bro. And. And anybody that's still on my boat, I'm grateful, man. Because, like I said, these people don't have to like me.
Tom Segura
But that's who you want, though, man. You want, like, I think everybody. You want people who are fans, that are fans because you're being yourself.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
You're trying to be something else. And their fans. It's not going to work.
Virgil
And I mean, bro, I keep it real with my members, I keep it real with my people. And most importantly, I wake up every day and keep it real with myself. I'm not going to not be me to make you happy.
Tom Segura
Right.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying?
Bert Kreischer
For sure.
Virgil
And I don't know you. Shit, bitch. In reality, I don't even give a fuck if y' all like my music, because at the end of the day, I do this shit because Sophie wanted me to do it. I used to be broke and on drugs, laid out in the middle of the street, happy, still doing this shit. I like this. That might be cut out, but I like being on drugs.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
I love acid, I love mushrooms, I love weed. Love, sip and drink. I love getting up and hitting cocaine. I like doing all that.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying?
Bert Kreischer
So Tom likes everything you just said, too.
Virgil
No, that's what I'm talking about.
Bert Kreischer
Have you tried dmt?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Tom is really in love with dmt. He's been doing it, what I would say, almost too much.
Virgil
I ain't gonna just necessarily say I do it too much, but I like it and I'll do it if it's right.
Tom Segura
I think I've been doing it in excessive amount.
Virgil
Ye.
Bert Kreischer
What are you doing before he goes to bed?
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Fully hallucinating. It's fun.
Bert Kreischer
Tom's like a low key drug addict.
Virgil
Yeah, No, I like this.
Bert Kreischer
Everyone goes, oh, birds and alcoholic bird's fat. They've no. It's like, are you not looking at the guy next to me?
Virgil
Yeah, right. I say all that though. Cause like, man, I'm, I'm like, I'm. I was given when I was broke. I'm happy. I'm okay with being broke. You know what I'm saying? I'm cool with being nobody. I like being a nobody. All these coming up to me won't leave me alone. And yeah, like, don't get it up. I love, love my fans and I go above and beyond with making them know that. It's obvious I'm grateful for you. I love you, but some people just want to fuck with me because like they, you know me as I'm the dude holding the chicken. You know what I'm saying? Fuck all that, bro. I want to talk to the people that are the reason why I'm living different.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, and you also get something we don't get. You walk into a room and you kind of pop. Like when you walked into NASCAR is like every 50 year old white woman in a sundress turned and was like, who's that? And I. And by the way, I was the first one to come up to you. I was like, oh, I know.
Virgil
I mean, I flip. When I seen you, I done that. A brick.
Bert Kreischer
I was like, no way. I didn't think you'd be at nascar. And then, and then immediately I was like, of course he's a fucking nascar. I was like, there's no way he's gonna be at the Indianapolis 500. He's gonna be a fucking NASCAR. And dude, I came up and I was like, I was, I was like, I'm gonna give you space. Because I knew, I knew you were gonna get inundated. So I was like, dude, I love you, man. I'm a huge fan. You're real as fuck. And then I was like, we got a podcast together sometime. And then I was like, I'll come find you in a little bit. And I went down and I just shown you fighting that bull to my whole team at nascar. I just showed it to them. And Kyle was behind me. You met Kyle downstairs. And I go, kyle, he just walked in. She goes, what? I said, that Mexican, ot, He just walked in, she went, shut the fuck up. And everyone's, like, leaned up. We were in the front row. They're like, where is he? And then I think Kyle came back and maybe introduced himself to you. And then, and then I was like, all right, he's had time. I'm gonna go talk to him. Because I'm. I'm. I'm bad with celebrities. And so I walked up and then you were gone. I was like, fuck, Fuck. I went to the, I started going booth to booth, going, he's gotta be right next door. He's gotta be right next door. But. And then I was like, I'll just DM him. Yeah, but. But you. You do pop when you go into a room. So in. You know, listen, if fans see you, they give you. They come after you. But then also you get. What I get sometimes is like some annoying older white woman going, I don't know who you are, but everyone seems to know who you are. Who are you?
Virgil
Yeah. And it's like, bitch, move around.
Tom Segura
Yeah, get out of here.
Virgil
Like, just leave me the fuck alone. I don't like that shit, man. But, I mean, but I don't like it because, like, already before, I was already that type of person.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
I used to just be mean, man. I had a lot of hatred in me. Felt like everything owed me everything. Cause I was just taken away from everything. But then, you know, I just got older and just realized, like, man, nobody.
Bert Kreischer
Grown up at eight.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, that's. I mean, that's from when you said. You said at 8. I was a grown up. I remember you hearing, Hearing you say that on Rogan, and I was like, I didn't learn how to jerk off until I was 10.
Virgil
Yeah. I was like, man, I, I. Bro, I ain't gonna lie. My mama, she used to have them dope heads around. I feel like I remember one time there was these two motherfuckers fucking in mind of my cousin. Bunk Bed. I walked in on that. You know, my. But you gotta understand, my mama was still young.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? Like, she was still having a lot of going on. She still wanted to live her life. So. I love my mama. She did great, you know, but she was just too gangster.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
Yeah. Well, nah. Yeah, I just. I mean, I remember looking at my teachers in the first grade. Like, I don't know what is, but I'd. You know, for real. Like, so, like it's deeper. Like. I mean, I remember stealing blue flags from Walmart, feeling like I was gang banging already by the time I was 10.
Bert Kreischer
Really?
Virgil
Yeah, you know, like.
Tom Segura
And this is all. Is this in like, base, Bay City.
Virgil
Area, Lake Jackson, Freeport, on that shit. My mama was always in Lake Jackson and Freeport, but I stayed in Bay City a lot. Or West Columbia. That's where my grandparents were.
Tom Segura
And that's still home, right?
Virgil
Yes, sir.
Tom Segura
Nice.
Virgil
It's just a bunch of small country towns. Matagorda County, Bazoria County. Brazoria was actually supposed to be the capital of Texas.
Tom Segura
Really?
Virgil
Yes. And they ended up making it Austin. Stephen F. Austin got land out there. They got a statue of him out there. Yeah, his family used to walk that land. Jones Creek.
Tom Segura
Wow.
Virgil
I think like 1800 acres out there.
Bert Kreischer
Texas is pretty badass when you think about it.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, it really is.
Virgil
It's beautiful, man. We got Greenland, we got flatland, the desert. We got mountains. You could drive like 18, 19 hours.
Tom Segura
Is that area with all those towns, is that pretty mixed? Is it like white folks, Mexican folk? Is it all.
Virgil
Oh, yeah, a lot. A lot of black, a lot of Mexican, a lot of whites. Yeah, pretty much it.
Bert Kreischer
We don't get the. At the end.
Virgil
I mean, it's a. You know, you got. It's a lot. It's a pot of gumbo out there. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Tom Segura
That's cool.
Virgil
I like it though, man. It's quiet, it's slow boogie. I could do what I want, River. You know what I'm saying, Dude, they're.
Bert Kreischer
Gonna love you in Japan. I just realized. Have you ever seen Japanese cholo culture?
Virgil
Yes. It's holy, bro. It me up when I seen they had lolos and out there, it's.
Bert Kreischer
I mean, matter of fact, I met.
Virgil
I met a jab Chicano over here, Japanese Chicano over here one time.
Tom Segura
Really?
Virgil
Yeah, yeah. He had a shirt, it was all white and it had the two flags. It was a Japanese flag, Mexico flag. I was like, damn, you're hard, fool.
Tom Segura
Hardcore.
Virgil
Cool ass mud.
Bert Kreischer
That's crazy.
Virgil
No.
Tom Segura
Yeah, they. There's like such a huge hip hop culture there.
Virgil
Yeah. I was gonna say, my buddy Ellie, he punched me in with a dude named Shoe and he has like a whole DJ screw shop out there.
Tom Segura
Wow.
Virgil
Yeah. Shit's sick. They got. They got a slab out there on Swankers.
Bert Kreischer
Really?
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
You gotta go, man.
Virgil
No. Yeah. Matter of Fact, y' all gotta come to Texas because I want to put y' all in a helicopter. We need to go shoot some.
Bert Kreischer
I do that.
Virgil
You need to go. You need to do all that.
Bert Kreischer
You would definitely do that. I would love to do that.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
Go. I don't know if y' all like getting dirty, but I. With those, the. The ATVs and the four wheelers. Oh, yeah, man. We'll go out there to cross being get muddy.
Tom Segura
I would love to do that.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. You're doing Texas wrong.
Virgil
I know.
Tom Segura
I need to get out there.
Virgil
I got four wheelers.
Bert Kreischer
What's that?
Virgil
Four wheelers?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
I got a. I got an Outlander. Bad motherfucker, dog. It's like the Cadillac of those.
Tom Segura
And I'll be riding and like those Polaris things too.
Virgil
Yeah, but I like the four wheeler because you could, dog. You know what I'm saying? The Polaris is just some cool to vibe with, like you got home or something.
Tom Segura
But if you got somebody. Like, who? Like, I went in Australia, I went to Daniel ricardo's ranch. The F1 driver.
Virgil
Nice.
Tom Segura
And he drives a Polaris, like sideways, like it's nuts. Like.
Virgil
And then also another thing, the turbo on that, when it hits, I feel like I'm breaking it every time I hit the gas. Like, it just sounds ugly.
Tom Segura
If anyone else had been driving, we for sure would be dead the way he was doing it. But he's like so proficient. You're just like.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
I mean, like the whole way, like 60 miles an hour sideways all over this thousand acre ranch. It was fucking insane.
Bert Kreischer
They do it. They do it in sand dunes in Michigan and you go flying. You know, it's so funny. A long time ago, when I was working at Birth Conqueror, we did. We did four wheelers. Yeah, it was four wheelers in mud. It was a big contest in Texas and they had a big mud pit. And the whole. The idea was you and a partner got on your four wheel, you had to make it all the way across. You'd haul ass in, you get stuck, you'd be leaning to one side. And I was like, man, this is gonna be redneck as. And there's something about redneck. Like, there's something about. There's some. Look, I'm not gonna talk shit about my own people, man.
Virgil
I'm a brown neck fool.
Bert Kreischer
Well, I got out there. There's something about rednecks that make me unnerved because I know them, my wife's family's, the entire thing. And they always think ain't no one getting hurt today. And I'm gonna really take this city boy for a ride.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And I got out there, there were no white people. It was all Mexican rednecks. And I was like, what the fuck?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And man, I was like, same fucking same. I had this dude on my thing, and he was like. He was as fat as I was. We were both pretty big at the time, and he was like, we get stuck in the mud, and he'd be like, get in there. Get in. I was fucking covered in mud and dude. And we had so. But I was like, there is not one white. They're all Mexican rednecks.
Tom Segura
Really? You.
Bert Kreischer
I want to say, like, Katy, Texas.
Virgil
Oh, yeah, yeah. You was in Crosby.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I forget. You can find it online, I'm sure. But there was, like, parts of Texas, man, I think what is. Is El Paso, the one right on the border?
Virgil
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
El Paso is not really Texas. It's really kind of just a little bit more Mexico, a little more.
Virgil
You could. You could be at a house. Like, I'll. I'll be on the roof of a house and be looking at Mexico, though.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah, In El Paso for sure.
Virgil
Go to El Paso too.
Tom Segura
Stand up.
Bert Kreischer
There is a blast.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah. It's a really fun stand. And then, you know, you're in El Paso and you're like. You could spend most of the day not speaking English to anybody. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot. It's a. It's really a Mexican. It's like a Mexican town.
Virgil
Y' all ever been to the Valley?
Bert Kreischer
Well, I don't even know who that is.
Virgil
The 956 of Texas, like Laredo, McAllen, far and all that.
Tom Segura
Maybe done a show. I've done so many, like, smaller town shows in Texas. I may have been there.
Virgil
Mercedes whistle. There you go. I don't know. I grew up over there too. It's kind of like El Paso, though.
Tom Segura
Really?
Virgil
Yeah. Yeah.
Tom Segura
I kind of. I really dig a border town.
Virgil
Like, so we used to. Matthew used to take us to Mexico and they would take us these bars and. And I remember there was this dude and he was. I don't know if he was simple minded or. Or what the. He was, but he was some throwed off.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
And he couldn't do much, but he would. You know those old school boom Brady's with the two speakers and the knobs? And he would bust that down into screws and. And springs and then put it back together.
Tom Segura
Really?
Virgil
Yeah. That's all he could do, though. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
All right. What's the best Mexican name? Chewy's pretty great.
Virgil
Chico.
Bert Kreischer
Chico. I like, I like Guillermo. I love that. There was a guy, there was a guy that rushed our fraternity when we were in college. And they're like, ladies and gentlemen, this guy's badass names Guillermo. And everyone's like, oh. And then a Cuban guy in the back goes, Willie.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
He goes, it's Willie. Just so we're all clear.
Virgil
That's what it is in English.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. It's Willie.
Virgil
Sound like a warrior in Spanish.
Bert Kreischer
Sounds like a guy with an uncircumcised. Who knows how to come.
Virgil
Right?
Bert Kreischer
And then you meet Chili Willy and you're like, what's up, buddy?
Virgil
Damn, bro. I ain't gonna lie. So you're a bad. And you're tough, bro.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
You've been doing this for a while. You me up with that.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
I think that's cool as, bro.
Bert Kreischer
Get him all. Chewy's a badass name. A lot of Ernie's.
Virgil
Yeah. But you though like, you in general.
Bert Kreischer
What?
Virgil
Like you're just a bad. Those videos you were showing me earlier, that shit's cool, bro.
Bert Kreischer
I was hungry for fame and money. Idiot.
Virgil
It works.
Bert Kreischer
I used to do. Dude, I've done some stuff. Like I've. I was the first person to jump off Stratosphere.
Virgil
What is Stratosphere?
Bert Kreischer
In Vegas. You know, the big spear, the big. Like it's the tallest building east west of the Mississippi.
Virgil
Nice.
Bert Kreischer
And so it's like 1100ft, I think up.
Tom Segura
Well, the crazier thing is that you hate heights.
Bert Kreischer
I hate heights. That's really awesome. I got this show called Birth Conqueror where I would do crazy. Like jumped off Stratosphere. Did a rope swing of like in New Zealand. Like 500 foot freefall. Jumped off the tall stadium in Africa.
Virgil
Crazy.
Bert Kreischer
But the whole thing was I hated it.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And it was like. And I'm really regular. So like I, I, I'm not like a thrill seeker.
Virgil
So it was, man, you know, it's a big fear of mine. But I've been wanting to do it. You know who Brian Gaffey is? He's in the industry with this music. I didn't think so. Anyways, he be instructing scuba diving. And I want to do it so bad, but I want to do it because it's one of my biggest fears.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
The unknown of the water. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's, I. I don't know, but I think there's aliens in the water.
Bert Kreischer
They are. They're called Octopus, Yeah, right. You see the. Hold on. Did Rogan show you the picture of the octopus with the claws on it?
Virgil
No. Show me.
Bert Kreischer
There's an octopus with claws on it either that. I dreamt it.
Tom Segura
Okay. Why don't you eat it?
Bert Kreischer
Because. Because I really do think it's a life form.
Virgil
I think it's a. Oh, you were saying that earlier.
Bert Kreischer
I think it's a different life form.
Tom Segura
You think it's a different life?
Bert Kreischer
I think, yeah. Have you ever seen the way octopuses can change into the rock?
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I mean octopuses.
Virgil
Octopuses or octopus.
Bert Kreischer
Octopus with claws do not have claws.
Virgil
Oh, he drank it.
Bert Kreischer
I must have dreamt it. I was an octopus with crab claws. Anyway, scuba diving is interesting. Have you ever scuba dived?
Tom Segura
I've never scuba dived, so scuba diving. I've only snorkeled.
Bert Kreischer
You know, you take the lesson you do in a pool. Very fun. Very fun. Very. I think I got this. And then you do an open water dive and you have a moment where you. Where maybe the weather isn't perfect, maybe it isn't beautiful, maybe it's a little weight. But scuba divers don't give a fuck they're underwater. But if you're a regular person, you're like, but it's raining and there's thunder and lightning and they're like, we'll be fine. We're going to be 40ft below. And you're like, but it's getting dark. And they're like, that's when it's the best. And you're like, hold on. And then there's a moment where you hit your BC and you start to sink. And you have to realize, am I excited for the stuff down there or the stuff I love? Is it all up here?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Because I need. I got to pick one. And man, that is when panic sets in, when you start sinking. For the average person, just dropping and remembering to breathe and being cool. And it gets dark and dark and then cold and then cold and it changes and then. And it's pitch black and you're just going down and you're waiting for an animal to come by you. And you don't say anything. And you're looking for the ship that they tell you you'll see the mast at 60ft. And you're like, I don't see. I don't see. I don't see. I don't see. I see bubbles. I don't see. And then all of a sudden, a ship. And you realize this ship, the day those guys left it Was the worst day of their life.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And now I'm gonna go check out someone's biggest tragedy the day they were like, it. I love my kids. I want to just live. And now I'm down there going, dude, spooky. And then you see a fish come around the corner, and the fish is like, what the are you doing here? I don't know.
Tom Segura
Do you like, do you like it though?
Bert Kreischer
It. I have liked it. I went. I went swimming whale sharks in Japan, man.
Virgil
I want to, bro, but like, I just. I feel like I watched too many movies.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, no, no, no. You go. This is what you do. You got to be very specific with what you want. Set your intention to the dive instructor and say, I don't want to go deeper than 20ft. That way you're never going to run into the problem. Getting the bends, you can go around. Do it. When you're in like the Bahamas and just shallow scuba diving, it's not the thing that people love. People want to go down 90ft. They want to go down 130ft. That's where. That's where the spheres change. That's where all of a sudden it's a true.
Virgil
Aliens are.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, that's where the aliens are.
Virgil
Yes, bro. I've seen a video of this dude. He was in the water and he was. His hands were like, you know, on the floor, and something came out the sand and wrapped around his hand. And it looked like that. You seen life? Yeah, yeah, it looked like the alien from life. Remember how I grabbed the old black dude's hand? It looked just like that. And you know, I don't know if it was real.
Tom Segura
There's some really weird, you know, every.
Virgil
Other fish out there that, that create light.
Tom Segura
Every year they discover new species at a different depth. And every time you see them, you're like, that looks like.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, definitely looks like you have to go scuba diving. You have to go scuba diving and film it.
Virgil
I'm only doing it to conquer it.
Tom Segura
You could get certified, like at a local ymca. You know, like, they teach it at places like that.
Bert Kreischer
Or, or you can. What you can do is like. And definitely in the Bahamas, I've done this in the Bahamas. You can get a day certification where you go into the pool and they teach you what you kind of need to know. And then you'll swim, an instructor will be by you, which is great. You know, you want that anyway. And. And you can go scuba diving. You can go scuba diving. It's shallow scuba dive, but it's fun.
Virgil
You've seen that pool where they teach you how to scuba dive? It's like the deepest pool in the world. And it's.
Bert Kreischer
Yes.
Virgil
You know, it's like a. It's like a cylinder going down. I want to do that. That's it. Just because I know there's nothing in there. I hope not.
Tom Segura
How deep is it?
Virgil
It's. It's deep enough to look down and have a panic attack.
Bert Kreischer
Really pull up the deepest pool in the world. I know you're exactly what you're talking about. And you see the dudes free dive.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And free dive down in it.
Virgil
Hey, but it's some cool, though, because like. Like I say, you're going down like this. But there's different on the walls. You could do.
Tom Segura
It's in Dubai.
Virgil
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
Look at that. Click it.
Virgil
How deep you think?
Bert Kreischer
Look at that.
Virgil
Holy.
Tom Segura
What? 148ft.
Bert Kreischer
That's crazy Dubai, man. They just got crazy money.
Virgil
Yeah. Stupid money.
Bert Kreischer
I bet you'd kill in Dubai.
Virgil
You think so?
Bert Kreischer
Fuck yes.
Virgil
I had to.
Bert Kreischer
What you do is you put on the fucking whole chic outfit, right? And like, they don't see any of the tats. And you put on the fucking hat and then you just rip it off. And everyone's like, oh, shit.
Tom Segura
Fuck is this, dude.
Bert Kreischer
Surprise.
Virgil
Damn, bro. I don't know, though, bro, because I'd be in the airport. Like, I'll be trying to be incognito, and then they just always know it's me.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
It's like, oh, I know that ass anywhere.
Tom Segura
That's wild. Dude, that pool is insane.
Virgil
Nah, that shit's sick, bro. I. You know what's crazy? As a kid, I always like. I love Poseidon. I love the water. I loved everything about the water. Then I got older and started watching movies.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it starts to.
Virgil
With you.
Tom Segura
Well, the deep ocean is a terrifying place, man.
Virgil
I also think it's the most beautiful place on earth.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Tom Segura
It's both, though.
Bert Kreischer
Ocean or mountains? If you had to retire right now and you had to pick one. Ocean or mountains?
Tom Segura
I like mountains more.
Bert Kreischer
My wife will pick mountains.
Tom Segura
My wife will pick ocean.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, Yeah.
Virgil
I would want to. But like I said, which I just. That fear. I don't like sharks either. Oh, I don't do that.
Bert Kreischer
Can I tell you what, you have to swim with sharks. It's. It said. Do you ever. Do you remember when you were a kid? Pull up, Pull up.
Virgil
I did it.
Tom Segura
I did it in the. In the Keys.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, you can do it in the Keys. Out of the way out of the cage. Hey, just bring them up to you.
Virgil
You saw the one where the shark went in the cage?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
See? Nah, hell no.
Bert Kreischer
No, we did, we did. North Shore, it's North Shore Shark Adventure in, in Haleiwa in Hawaii. And they bring you out and they have Galapagos sharks. There's probably 40 around the cage. Just see photo.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And you're sitting in a cage and I'll tell you, it's like going to church and getting it. It's like, remember when you thought you got a chick pregnant? You went to church and you were like, God, just help me out this one time.
Virgil
Oh, I was, I was gonna say this earlier, but I, I, we got talking about something else, but it made me think of when you said that. I remember I was in sixth grade, this girl sucked my dick and I thought I got her pregnant. Yeah, just some kid, you know, sucked me up. I thought it was pregnant.
Tom Segura
That was so far from my sixth grade year, I can't even tell you.
Bert Kreischer
I remember the first blow job I got, she was sucking and I was like, I think you're doing it wrong. And then I was like, never mind. I like your way better. It's a blow job. You're supposed to be blowing into it.
Virgil
I ain't gonna lie though. My dad, like I said, he went to prison and when he came out, he had used my computer and it came back with every virus under the sun and, you know, like, bro, grandma and grandson, neighbor, pounds neighbor while, you know, husband's at work. Just stupid. So I just was, you know. And like I said, man, you know, I, I was being a kid walking in on my mama, you know what I'm saying? My, my listening to my dad fuck, you know, like, I just always been around it. So is it, is it like.
Bert Kreischer
So I was saying to Pete today, I go, it's gotta be tough being like a rapper and then having to always be tough and always be like, on point and be like, manly, like, I'm a bitch.
Virgil
Nah, I dig that. But like, you ain't gotta be that tough. Like, there's different type of tough. Like, yeah, go fucking fight that bull. It's tough.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
You know what I'm saying? It's some cool shit. But my dad always growing up, tough guys get hurt. They're the first ones to get hurt. You know what I'm saying? You ain't gotta be a tough guy.
Tom Segura
You're looking for a fight off.
Virgil
Smart guy. Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I was the dude when that, when we're in college and guys like, hey, we're about to get a fight. You got my back? I'd be like, oh, yeah, sure, sure. And I just walk out.
Virgil
Oh, good luck, Chadwick. You ain't see it. Well, he.
Bert Kreischer
Looking back, what the is I had. I think I still have one of the most punchable faces in every fight.
Tom Segura
Well, your beers got trimmed today. It looks. I like it.
Bert Kreischer
Shut up.
Tom Segura
What?
Bert Kreischer
I. I over trimmed my beard. I had the ones on. I went, oh, yeah, I like it.
Virgil
It looks good.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, Yeah, I look very cherubic.
Tom Segura
It's nice.
Virgil
How many fights you been in your life?
Bert Kreischer
A lot. I. Let's. I don't know, rephrase that. How many times have I been beaten up?
Virgil
Oh, fuck.
Bert Kreischer
Like, I mean, I fights when you decide you're gonna fight also, right?
Virgil
Damn. So these motherfuckers just be coming up to you.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, buddy.
Tom Segura
I also happened a long time.
Bert Kreischer
I haven't gotten punched in the last fight. Fight I got into at the Starbucks with a guy that looked like Louis CK Why?
Tom Segura
Why?
Bert Kreischer
This is the worst. I was trying to get my bathing suit. It was. It was when we were doing Reality Bites Back and my sisters lived above the Starbucks. So I pulled my bathing suit.
Tom Segura
How long ago. How long ago was this?
Bert Kreischer
Hold on. That's exactly what I said. I double parked and he got angry. He was in a teal BMW and he was like. He goes, pulls in, and then I'm at the light and he's like talking to me. And I thought it was Louis C.K. so I was like, hey, it's Louis C.K. so I rolled down my window and like, that's not Louis C.K. i go, and he's really upset. I wrote, turn on my radio. And he goes, learn how to park. And I was. And I said to him, I was just getting my bathing suit. And then he was like, huh?
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And then I was like. And then I. I put it in park. I said, you talk like a tough guy, act like a tough guy. Oh, and I got out of the car.
Virgil
So you fully. You fully, like, come here. Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And then everyone. And do you know who? Do you know who? And I can't say he was there, but do you know who was at that Starbucks every day? Every day at that time was Freddy Roach. The boxing.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And he was always at that Starbucks. I don't know if he was there that day.
Tom Segura
This is the Valley one?
Bert Kreischer
No, no, this is on Detroit street and Wilshire.
Virgil
Okay, watch your ass. Fight.
Bert Kreischer
He's like, dude, wait.
Tom Segura
So you get out of. Does he get out of the car too?
Bert Kreischer
No, he's already out of the car. He's walking to Starbucks. And I got. And I put my car in park and I got out of the car. I was like, what are you gonna do? And he was like sitting there. I go, come on. And then I walked around to the other side of the car. I was like, let's go. What are we gonna do now? Walked into Starbucks. I was like, that's what I thought. And then I got my car and I was like, why am I doing that?
Virgil
Yeah, I was gonna say you were on one, fool.
Bert Kreischer
No, I had that. I. I don't have that anymore. I don't. That is not in me anywhere at all. But like, there was a lot of times in college that like.
Virgil
Oh, this was a while ago.
Bert Kreischer
It was a long time ago. This is when.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. I don't have any, like, inclination to punch anyone.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And I don't want to be hit at all.
Virgil
My dad, he. I remember seeing people getting my dad's face and he'd be like, hey, roll up a joint. Get some shots over here. You tripping. Like, be my friend.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Really?
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
He was able to de. Escalate things.
Virgil
Yeah, yeah. Now he's like. He just walking up to you and he's like, what the you gonna do? I've seen him. I've seen him be up, grab somebody's drink, drink it, and sat it down and looked at him, you know, That's.
Tom Segura
A pretty hard move.
Virgil
Yeah. No, my dad, he just. He's a bully now.
Bert Kreischer
Was he? Was he?
Tom Segura
But he got more bullyish as he got older.
Virgil
Yeah, as he got older, he just. He.
Tom Segura
That's hilarious.
Bert Kreischer
You guys jacked, right?
Virgil
Oh, bro, he's always been like that. The way Rogan, like, he was just always in shape. That's how my dad was. Yeah, My dad, he would. Bro. So he would. He would have all the strip clubs jumping and, you know, and the. The owners love my dad. The Love my dad. So he would bring the house party home every night, Monday through Sunday. And I'm living with him in the seventh grade, and he'd wake me up four or five o' clock in the morning. Son, you ready to get down that whoop ass? What the fuck you talking about? And he would have a house full of women and a few dudes there. And those dudes are there. Cause he met him at the club and he's like, oh, you rap, Ben, watch this. Come on. And he'd bring him home and he'd fucking had me rap battle these grown ass men, and I'd eat him alive. And then one of his hoes would take me to school. Or I'd take the city bus. I mean, or taxi, not the city bus.
Tom Segura
That is such a crazy upbringing story.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
Virgil
It was. I mean, it was fun. It was cool, though. Sometimes I wouldn't even go to school. He'd be like, son, make me oatmeal. I go down there, make him so oatmeal come up, He's. And why. We'd fall asleep all day. I'd wake up, come out my room, the oatmeal's still sitting there.
Tom Segura
Like, my story is like, one time I got to watch a rated R movie that year. Like, that's the craziest. That happened to me in seventh grade. There was no strippers and rapping with, like, that's. That's wild, dude.

Bert Kreischer
What's it like working with Wayne?
Virgil
I wasn't with him in the studio.
Bert Kreischer

Virgil

I guess that's what it took to get the recognition. Yeah, but it's like, we've been the.

Politicians always do but the laws state that we're all free.

Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
From what I do know.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
I mean, you know, of course I know Central C. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But other than that, I ain't really just did my homework into it. I'm not a big fan of it.
Bert Kreischer
There's some of it. I mean I like all rap. I feel like what's interesting to me is just the same way that like Atlanta has its sound. Memphis has it sound.
Virgil
You can know where they from.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. And then I think that. That Britain's just a different place that just has one sound.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
You know? Yeah. I mean, I've always said this. It blew my mind when I moved from. Because I listened to hip hop growing up. I was in Florida. Florida. Everything was about having a car with bass, a dunk.
Virgil
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had Donks.
Bert Kreischer
Well, I had a Volkswagen Fox, but I had space in it. And. And when I moved to New York, I was listening to Wu Tang Clan and I was like, there's no bass in this.
Virgil
Yeah, it's all boom, bat.
Bert Kreischer
But it's all. Because it's that everyone's got headsets on. That's how they take in their hip hop. I was like, oh. And so my favorite. One of my favorite rappers ever, two duos is MJG and 8Ball.
Virgil
What?
Bert Kreischer
Love them.
Virgil
That's sick.
Bert Kreischer
If you ask my dog. When my daughters were little girls, I used to play alcohol and weed all the time in the car.
Virgil
Yeah, that's hard.
Bert Kreischer
As MJ's Orange Mound, Tennessee.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Swab House. The dude I. That was like, my favorite.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
Oh, I love that east coast rap, though.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Hell, yeah.
Virgil
Yeah, I'm big.
Bert Kreischer
I was really into hip hop.
Tom Segura
I mean, that era, too, is like, you know, everything from, like, Rakim Kane, Gangstar.
Virgil
I'm gonna say Buster 50 and Big L. Yeah. The reason why I'm Dirty, Fast and Player.
Tom Segura
Those three.
Virgil
Yes.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
And I like the East Coast. As a student of the game, the east coast is what made me an animal.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Virgil
I'm from the south, so I'm forever gonna have that swagger and that cool. You know what I'm saying? But, like, as far as being complex, the east coast made it.
Tom Segura
They made it.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Virgil
Yeah. For sure. Like, bro, the way they would manipulate words to. To rhyme but still make sense, you know what I'm saying? Like, the being able to rhyme the whole bar and not just the last word. You know what I'm saying? Like, that was sick.
Tom Segura
The Sellers guys have, like, inimitable styles. Like, you know, there was a time where, like, you could.
Virgil
And then the way they're animated.
Tom Segura
Yeah, they're animated. But, like, you know, it's so, like, it's so hard to emulate Busta's style.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
So specifically him. And it's complicated. Yeah, right. It's complicated. Like, it's not easy to. To hear it and, like, say it back. You have that too. Where I feel like it's complicated. It's not. You're not easy guy to mimic.
Virgil
Thank you.
Tom Segura
You know, which is, I think, a huge compliment.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
But like.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Tom Segura
I feel like Busta was one of the ones where you're like, nasty. Yeah.
Virgil
Did you ever jam the Worldwide choppers? No technique. It was Tech nine. Buster Twister had all the fastest rappers on there. Yellow Wolf was on that.
Tom Segura
Yes.
Virgil
I remember. I remember jamming crazy.
Bert Kreischer
I love that. We're both barefoot.
Virgil
Oh, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Can I tell you, I knew you were my guy.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
When you rolled into my house barefoot.

Bert Kreischer
I am barefoot. I'm a barefoot.
Virgil

Tom Segura
It's wild.
Virgil
Hey, I opened a soda can at Mike Boosie's house on my toe.

Virgil
Oh, yeah. In the. In the. The fan boat. Yeah. Bro, that is sick.
Tom Segura
Gator hunting's crazy down there.
Virgil
Yeah.
Tom Segura
The first place I ever had gator was Orlando.
Virgil
I didn't. I didn't think that was legal doing it there.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah. They do it. Yeah. I mean, you can go on the 520 and stop on the way to the airport and get like fresh caught gator, which sick as amazing.
Bert Kreischer
The best is all the people catching pythons.
Tom Segura
That's that.
Virgil
You know what I want? I want to hunt iguana.
Bert Kreischer
You can. They're invasive.
Virgil
Yeah, that's what. That's what they were telling me out there. I want to do that bad.
Tom Segura
I think we have some hunting trips planned, guys.
Bert Kreischer
I think we do do, bro.
Tom Segura
We got a rap. We got to get to that.
Bert Kreischer
We got a bottle signing. We gotta go sign bottles of our vodka. Do you drink, bro?
Virgil
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
We'll get some vodka for you so you can.
Tom Segura
You like vodka?
Virgil
I like tequila.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Virgil
That clear? Give me mean.
Bert Kreischer
Okay. Can I tell you, this is how the. The liquor business works.
Virgil
Let me see.
Bert Kreischer
I was talking to. I was talking to. I was talking to a bro, A beer guy. And I said something. And I. And I said something like. So, you know, I think he worked for like Corona. And I was like, you know, you should get really great comedian. I don't know if you know him, Steve Trevino from. He's in Texas, but he's Mexican guy. He's really big. He's a beer drinker. You should get him. And this guy said to me, man, we already got the Mexicans. I need a white like you. No, I said, really? He goes, yeah, man, you go against brand. So, like, if I'm selling tequila, I don't try to get a Mexican guy to sponsor my tequila. I need a white guy like George Clooney to sell tequila to white. Oh, Tommy. What we need tequila is a Mexican to sell our vodka.
Tom Segura
Oh, I got you. I got you.
Bert Kreischer
If we can break into the Mexican culture and just go. So, hey, it's not a tequila night.
Virgil
Come on.
Bert Kreischer
It's a vodka night.
Virgil
Yeah, come on. Yeah, we could do that.
Tom Segura
We could do that.
Bert Kreischer
Are you looking for some liquor without the taste of tequila at all?
Virgil
What you chase it for, you guys? Pickle juice.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, you do?
Virgil
Yeah, I'll be a pickle back. That bad?
Tom Segura
You gotta try. You gotta try this vodka.
Bert Kreischer
It's great vodka.
Virgil
It's great. You got it right now?
Bert Kreischer
Right now?
Virgil
Yeah. Pull the bad boy out.
Bert Kreischer
Let's take a shot of vodka.
Virgil
I just want some rabbit. Let me smell it. Let me just smell it.
Bert Kreischer
I would like. I would like your taste as an artist.
Virgil
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
You. You are a person who picks what they wear. And I gotta tell you, your style is. Your style is unquestionable.
Virgil
Thank you.
Bert Kreischer
You design your albums, you write your raps. Everything is yours. It's your thumbprint as an artist. I'd love to see. This is our thumbprint. We picked everything from the label to this, to the styling, to the. To the every aspect of this bottle we hand picked.
Virgil
Well, if it's. I. I already know I' ma with it because it's coming from your brain like that.
Bert Kreischer
I hope you like it. And then. And then, actually, and. And Mom, I know this is going to sound like this is what you have to say, but the truth is we had about 15 flavor profiles that we had to pick from. And me and him landed on the exact same two. And then on those two, we tasted them a couple times and we chose one independent. We didn't tell each other what we picked, and we picked the exact same taste. We've won how many contests in our gold.
Tom Segura
We're gold medal in, I think three now. Yeah.
Virgil
Damn.
Bert Kreischer
So we're. It's legit. And. And I. All I have is bottles of tequila of this vodka in this house. And I'm waiting going where?
