Bert Kreischer
You can roll on this.
Mark Norman
Okay, roll it up.
Bert Kreischer
Here's my problem. I said something super funny on Chris Decephano and Giannis Pappas's podcast about therapy. And as soon as I said it, I went, I should have saved that for my act. That's the only problem I have is like, I should.
Sam Morril
Why can't you just use it in your act?
Mark Norman
You can do it.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, no, buddy. I had a joke about I had.
Sam Morril
Pod to a special. No, really?
Bert Kreischer
No. Cuz your special's special should be stuff.
Sam Morril
You can add to it, you can hone it, you can make it big.
Bert Kreischer
You can. Maybe you can build to it. But like, I had a joke. I told Tom a joke one time that it made him laugh so hard that I went, I'm going to use that. My act. It was. I took a. In Japan. So a big one time. The guy installed next to me threw up and it's true story. And he threw up and he. It was in Japan. So I thought he was talking to me. So he was like. And so Tom laughed hysterically.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I wanted to open my special one. Hey, big boy. Or Razzle dazzle. Hey, big boy. I wanted to open it with it. I wanted to open with that joke.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And I was opening with that. And this is what was happening in the audience because they heard it on the pod. You heard it a joke special because you hear it that one time. And so I changed it to a joke that happened with Ari the week before he drugged me was I took a shit in a gender neutral bathroom that made the woman in the stall next to me question her politics. She was like, fuck, you guys need separate rooms. And so. But like. But it says funny, but it's not.
Sam Morril
As good as the two joke.
Bert Kreischer
I love jokes.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Norman
Wow. See, we're lucky because no one listens to this, so we can just repeat ours.
Bert Kreischer
Well, it was good to see you guys. Hey, check out my special Lucky streaming right now on Netflix.
Mark Norman
It's cooking. You're in the top 10, baby. I watched it. You come out swinging. I mean, it's blowjob right out of the gate. Yeah, it's. It's the opposite of Annette.
Bert Kreischer
You know how I.
Mark Norman
Well, same body.
Sam Morril
Most specials is the opposite of Nanette.
Mark Norman
That's true.
Bert Kreischer
She still has one of my favorite jokes. Yeah.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah, I got riped. I got that one.
Bert Kreischer
This is why you guys are great podcasters, is that you're so quick. It's why you also can do crowd work, because your crowd work's just Topical shit you throw away. Anyway, that's why you guys are so good, is you're just quick and funny and you're always writing someone like me, and this is why I have a hard time on some podcasts and on, like, Roast is. I'm a storyteller.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
So I have to tell you, the thing that happened to me, you know.
Mark Norman
Like, so it's, like, personal.
Bert Kreischer
I'm personal. And. Yeah. So. But, God, that was funny.
Mark Norman
Your people want you. They want your life. I don't know if they want mine.
Bert Kreischer
I do.
Mark Norman
I don't even know if I want mine.
Bert Kreischer
Brand new kid. Are you kidding me?
Mark Norman
Yeah, I got some kid stuff.
Bert Kreischer
Do you like? I think the best compliment I ever got was I posted a video of Leanne pulling. What do we have? Bladder infections.
Sam Morril
Oh, we heard you. We heard you wanted cranberry. We wanted grapefruit.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, yeah, I can't do grapefruit because I'm on blood pressure medicine.
Sam Morril
Might be a sign that you should slow down the drinking.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no, no. No blood pressure medicine.
Mark Norman
You can have poison.
Bert Kreischer
Grapefruit.
Mark Norman
Grapefruit.
Bert Kreischer
Grapefruit counteracts with medications.
Mark Norman
Is that right?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. So you can't.
Mark Norman
Oh, no.
Bert Kreischer
You can't take medications and grapefruit.
Mark Norman
That's going to kill my Blue Chew.
Bert Kreischer
Definitely don't do that. Wait, are you on a Bluetooth? For real?
Mark Norman
Wait, is it bad for your heart?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, we're good.
Mark Norman
All right. Oh, God.
Bert Kreischer
No. What was I just saying? Oh, I posted a video. Leanne and I, right after the cruise. We went to. We went. What did you say?
Mark Norman
What is this shit?
Bert Kreischer
It's grapefruit. Oh, shut the fuck up. Let's drink some bodega Cat.
Mark Norman
Yeah, sorry, Sorry. You were saying?
Bert Kreischer
No, hey, listen, can I tell you, we got approached by Whiskey first, and my initial thing was they already got bodega caffeine.
Sam Morril
You and Tom both told me that. Yeah, appreciate.
Bert Kreischer
Nice. You guys, it's like, why would you compete with a friend when you're. You can do something that no one's doing?
Sam Morril
You hear that? Gaffigan is Gaffigan.
Bert Kreischer
Got a whiskey. What's it called? Seven. Seven Children.
Sam Morril
It's called Father Time. It's a good name.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, solid.
Mark Norman
But you're a vodka guy. Anyway, let me.
Bert Kreischer
Let me tell you a story. I sat on a plane next to a fucking beautiful man one time. I'm leaving Philly and early flight, hungover, and the lady comes up, she goes, can I get you a drink? And I said, heineken in the can. No glass. Just a can, please. She goes, okay, I'm very specific about my cocktails. She says, sir, can I get you a drink? And he goes, oh, I wouldn't mind something. He goes, double Tito's and soda, please. And I went, ooh, vodka. This early? And he went, it's in my contract. I went, what? And he goes, I'm a male model, so the only thing I'm contracted, label able to drink is vodka because it doesn't bloat you, keeps you skinny.
Mark Norman
Huh?
Bert Kreischer
And I went. I said, ma'am, can I change mine to a double Tito's and soda? And that day forward, I drank only Tito's.
Mark Norman
Well, how do you explain the bloat?
Bert Kreischer
I don't know. I guess it doesn't work for everybody.
Mark Norman
Why did. He's not being shot there?
Bert Kreischer
He was going to a shoot or something.
Mark Norman
Oh, interesting.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. And I. I heard that conversation. I had that conversation. And I went. I went, all right, I'm a vodka guy. And then that year, Flying first is.
Sam Morril
Doing pretty well too.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, dude, he was gorgeous. His name was Tad.
Mark Norman
Tad. Holy shit.
Bert Kreischer
I mean, you know the kind of face where you go, do you need to shave? That's the perfect color skin.
Mark Norman
Right?
Bert Kreischer
It's just perfectly tan with a great jawline.
Mark Norman
Oh, man. Must be nice.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Tad, you want to hear another good story?
Mark Norman
Sure. I hope it's better than that one.
Sam Morril
That one was a tad gay.
Bert Kreischer
Never mind. You guys go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Mark Norman
Gay guys are the only ones looking at male models. I don't think women are even looking at male models. You never see a woman with, like, a model poster on their wall, do you?
Bert Kreischer
I don't know. Same thing with big dicks. Women don't care about big dicks. We care about big dicks.
Mark Norman
Thank God.
Bert Kreischer
I only want a big dick to show other men.
Mark Norman
Yeah, good point. Or like Chris Evans, you want it to leak. There was all these big dick guys just happen to have their dicks leaked.
Bert Kreischer
Brad Pitt. Do you remember Brad Pitt's dick and heat? Brad Pitt's got a thog.
Sam Morril
Really?
Mark Norman
A thug?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Sam Morril
What does that mean?
Bert Kreischer
A fog. It's like a fog. Yeah.
Mark Norman
Wait, I didn't know this.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Look at Brad.
Mark Norman
That's not.
Bert Kreischer
I mean, that's good, but you gotta remember six'three six one. Is he six one, six two? Look, he's always.
Mark Norman
Wait a minute. I don't know if that's a thug.
Bert Kreischer
It's better than mine.
Mark Norman
No, I've seen your dick.
Bert Kreischer
Let me zoom In Pull up my dick.
Sam Morril
This is getting pretty gay. That I'm telling you.
Bert Kreischer
Pull up my dick.
Mark Norman
I don't know if that's that on the right.
Sam Morril
He looks pretty good.
Mark Norman
That's not in the right home.
Bert Kreischer
And it's not hard. It's not hard.
Sam Morril
Okay. It's not hard.
Bert Kreischer
All right, go to. Who's married to Katy Perry? I love that.
Sam Morril
We're not even drunk yet. And we're like, let's look at pictures of dudes next.
Bert Kreischer
Who's Katy Perry? Katy Perry? No. Orlando Blooms. Dick's pretty nice.
Mark Norman
Really?
Bert Kreischer
Paddle boarding, naked in the ocean.
Mark Norman
Pull it up.
Bert Kreischer
I've seen this a lot.
Mark Norman
Oh, boy. See? Men. No dicks.
Bert Kreischer
Look at this. Yeah.
Mark Norman
All right. All right.
Bert Kreischer
It's a good dick.
Mark Norman
Why is it.
Bert Kreischer
But why uncut?
Mark Norman
That's pretty soft.
Bert Kreischer
All right, now type in Bert Chrysler uncut gem.
Mark Norman
Interesting. Uncut is wild to put out in the sun, but it's got a little hood.
Bert Kreischer
Go to images.
Mark Norman
Not gonna get unburned.
Bert Kreischer
Okay, far left. Far left.
Mark Norman
Yeah, I remember this photo.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, yeah.
Mark Norman
Hey, I see that now. That looks way better.
Bert Kreischer
So here's the deal. So I got really turned on to. They call them meat prints.
Sam Morril
Is this like a Hollywood Walk of Fame star before your dick?
Bert Kreischer
No, this is. Look, my brain is not like your brains, okay? So the way I see marketing sometimes is a little different. So I was following dudes who had big dicks and were doing posts about nothing. Yeah, but you saw their dick in their pants. And then I would be like, every video, you'd see his dick in his pants. And. And I was like, and. And it's called meat prints. So I was like, dude, I'm gonna start putting in meat prints. So I posted a picture. Yeah.
Mark Norman
Oh, ham meat.
Bert Kreischer
Prince John Ham has a hog.
Mark Norman
That's a hog.
Bert Kreischer
That's. You can see the head of his dick in that.
Mark Norman
And it's. It's wide.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. So. So, like, if I ever took a gym picture, right, I'd always make sure that my dick was a little hard and it was in the pants so that people go, you look great. And then a couple guy goes, look at his dick.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Then you get the comments running. They're like, dude, look at this hog.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And then this one, I was like. I was like, let's just do straight up dick.
Mark Norman
Did you chub at all or is that.
Bert Kreischer
It's almost rock hard. It's almost rock hard.
Mark Norman
Smart. Smart move.
Bert Kreischer
And people are like, dude, we get it. You lost weight. I go, you're missing the pick.
Sam Morril
If you were near playground, you'd be banned for that, right?
Mark Norman
Yeah, 100%.
Bert Kreischer
The sad thing is, my daughters are on my Instagram. Dude, we posted a video the other day of Leigh Ann explaining how her sex toy works. And Isla was like. Isla was like, dad, never post that again. Seriously, dad, I'm on your Instagram.
Sam Morril
What kind of sex toy?
Bert Kreischer
It's from this place called Woo. Woo. More Play.
Mark Norman
Woo. More Play. Sounds like my Asian ex.
Bert Kreischer
Woo. More Play. Yeah, go to that website. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the one with the heart. That one. Yeah. And so Leanne never used a toy in her whole fucking life, right? Never used a toy, never would. Never. I mean, I'm speaking a little out of school, but, like, she was very meat and potatoes. Like, just. You had sex. That was it. Nothing came into the room. Nothing. Like, nothing wild.
Mark Norman
Yep.
Bert Kreischer
And then she got on testosterone. I talk about the special, and, man, she turned into a whore. And she. And started listening to other women talk about shit they liked. And she said, let's try that. And there's a woman named Bostic, Michael. And I'm sorry, I can't remember her name right now. Bostic is her last name. And she sent Leanne this and said, try this and then try their. Their lube is like, crazy good because it's. It's coconut oil based, so it smells great. And it doesn't. It's not like a lube. Lube feels like horror gel, you know? Like. Like you're like. You can't ever have put too much lube on your hand and you can't jerk off. You can't feel it. Yeah. And you're, like, slippery. Yeah. And you're like, I feel like a dolphin swimming.
Mark Norman
Like.
Sam Morril
And Cully Culkin could use this in Home alone to trip him up. You know?
Bert Kreischer
Lube is gross.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Like, and you feel like you just fucked a whore and you're like, ugh.
Mark Norman
Right?
Bert Kreischer
But this Woo Shit that they have is like, is. It smells great. And then it's like, it's amazing. It's also edible.
Mark Norman
What does that do? Does that put on the clit, I assume?
Bert Kreischer
No. No. God damn it. So this is what the video is about. Our friends. Leanne got all her friends 1. And her friend tried to put her husband's dick through that.
Mark Norman
Ooh.
Bert Kreischer
She didn't know how it worked.
Sam Morril
What?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Sam Morril
He must have a weird shaped cock. What the hell?
Bert Kreischer
He's Asian. Woo. That's just true.
Sam Morril
Woohoo.
Mark Norman
Hand job. Oh, wow.
Bert Kreischer
I'll need Another cocktail.
Mark Norman
I'm learning a lot here. This is. I'll get the wife one.
Bert Kreischer
I'll tell you, man, Leanne got into this, like, very adventurous sexual phase of her life.
Mark Norman
I saw that, the Superdome. She would not leave you alone. You guys went in the bathroom like, three times.
Bert Kreischer
She is. She is. I don't know, man. It's like. I don't know what happened to her. It's like. It's like being married to a different person.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I'm very happy now. Like, I was always happy, but. But I didn't know you couldn't order anything other than a cheeseburger. Right? And I was like, cool. I like cheeseburgers. Everyone likes cheeseburgers. Sure. I look at fucking Turducken, and I'm like, that would be fucking all amazing, right?
Mark Norman
Sure.
Bert Kreischer
But I was like, I got cheeseburger. I always order cheeseburger. Yeah. And then one day she was like, yo, you ever put peanut butter on a cheeseburger? And I was like, okay, right?
Mark Norman
Try it.
Bert Kreischer
I was like, that's fucking good. And she was like, yo, fuck the cheeseburger. Let's get pizza. And I was like, okay, I'm in. And so we're in this, like, wild phase right now. It's been really fun. Yeah.
Mark Norman
Well, it's weird. God set it up so strange because we're horny as shit at 19 to 28, and then women aren't that horny, and then they're horny as shit from, like, 39 to 52.
Ari Shafir
Yeah.
Mark Norman
And then. So that's why I always like cougars.
Sam Morril
When I want to fuck the 19 year olds.
Mark Norman
Exactly. They're fudgeing all the students in Florida.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
But, yeah, I was. Went after Cougar because they were like, a guy.
Sam Morril
Yeah. They're getting fucked on the banned books in Florida.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
People go, if Leanne died, would you marry, like, a young girl? Girl? And I went, no. I go right back to where I was. Perimenopausal is the best.
Mark Norman
The bad. You can shoot all in there.
Bert Kreischer
I'm like, I'm attracted to, like, all our peers, all our female comics that are perimenopausal. I go like, I bet.
Sam Morril
Like, give me a name.
Bert Kreischer
Sarah. I bet Sarah's wolf.
Sam Morril
Sarah Silverman.
Bert Kreischer
Sarah Chelsea.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Come on.
Mark Norman
Leanne Morgan.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, Shut the up, Ms. Pat.
Mark Norman
Oh, I tried, dude.
Bert Kreischer
Sarah's hot as fuck.
Mark Norman
Like, she's a very attractive lady.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, Sarah's gorgeous.
Mark Norman
She doesn't age.
Bert Kreischer
No. It's so funny. As she came and did the Podcast or maybe my cooking show. And her and Leanne just started. Went immediately into menopause Talk. Going through menopause now.
Mark Norman
What does that. No period. No kids.
Bert Kreischer
No period. But you kind of turn into a dude a little bit.
Mark Norman
I like that.
Bert Kreischer
You like. You. Your testosterone ups up and you like. It's like, real. Not real. I should rephrase that. But women start really achieving when they hit menopause. That's when they get, like, their. That's when they get their, like, second wind and become like, gangsters.
Mark Norman
Right.
Bert Kreischer
Martha Stewart, menopause, Boom.
Mark Norman
Good point.
Sam Morril
She's still rocking, too. She's like, in her 80s. She looks amazing.
Mark Norman
She looks great, dude. You know, she. And she'll make you a hell of a sandwich after.
Sam Morril
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, but she won't eat it in bed.
Mark Norman
Yeah, that's true. That's.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no. We get up and we put on a shirt if we're gonna eat a sandwich. Jeffrey. Jeffrey.
Mark Norman
Also, she's been to jail, so she's kind of like. She's dirty.
Sam Morril
An edge.
Mark Norman
She's got an edge. Yeah, exactly. She was scissoring in there.
Bert Kreischer
What do you think? The hottest? Oldest.
Mark Norman
Betty.
Bert Kreischer
White ethnicity.
Mark Norman
Oh, well, JLO is cooking at 52 or whatever. She looks great.
Sam Morril
Yeah, a little. A little color definitely helps you not crack.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Irish looks like a fucking dry foot.
Mark Norman
Yeah. Old potato.
Sam Morril
There's a destiny on their face.
Mark Norman
Son. Daughter over there. Yeah, but that's got to be tough. I think Ben Affleck's kid is trans as well.
Sam Morril
Oh, yeah?
Mark Norman
What's going on in la, Bert? Tell us. Your kids are not trans, right?
Bert Kreischer
No, they're not.
Sam Morril
I don't know.
Bert Kreischer
We're not on Rogan.
Mark Norman
Looks like Adam Friedland.
Bert Kreischer
You do it.
Mark Norman
Oh, I don't know. He put the picture up.
Sam Morril
That's not Ben Affleck's kid, though. It's her kid. Is it?
Mark Norman
I mean, his is trans as well.
Sam Morril
Really?
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
This is why I say shut the fuck up about that. Right. I say this to you as my friend. Don't you want to meet Ben Affleck and him to go like, hey, dude, I fucking. You're awesome.
Mark Norman
I didn't say anything bad. Just said his kid is true. Which is the fact.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. No, his kid's trash.
Sam Morril
It was an observation. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I mean, observation.
Mark Norman
Jersey Girl was bad, you know, But.
Bert Kreischer
I think the town.
Sam Morril
The town was good, though.
Mark Norman
Town was great.
Bert Kreischer
Town was fucking. The town was great, bro. I watched that on repeat where he goes, I'm going to ask you to do something. I Can have no questions, but it's going to involve some crimes. We're going to maybe kill someone. Are you in? He goes, whose car are we taking?
Mark Norman
Yeah, shut the up.
Sam Morril
Jeremy Renner get you hyped up. God, Jeremy Renner.
Bert Kreischer
Can I tell you if I. Okay, I know there's people that clip out everything from every podcast in the world. Can. And I know you probably hate me. Can you just do me a favor and clip out all the best scenes from every movie like this and let me watch them so I get pumped the up.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
Like when they used to. Remember at sporting events, they used to do that where they would, like. They'd be like. It would be like Peter Finch from network, and he'd be like, I want you to stand up and I want you to yell and be like, let's go, Mets, let's go. But it would get you. They'd get you the Hoosier scene where they're just like, yeah.
Mark Norman
Yes. What that great team.
Bert Kreischer
Do you play for USA Fuck up.
Mark Norman
How about that great scene where Jeremy Renner gets hit by the snowplow? All right.
Sam Morril
Don't you want to meet him one day and have a st. Shut up, Salus, you copycat.
Bert Kreischer
It's crazy because, like, I've definitely done that where I've talked about people and I've done. I've done it wildly, and then they've approached me about it and been like, who?
Sam Morril
Give us a name.
Mark Norman
I'm surprised you don't want. You want to meet anybody after that. Sandler Meet. I mean, that was legendary.
Bert Kreischer
So bad. What happened, Sandler?
Mark Norman
You didn't see that? Oh, this is a classic.
Sam Morril
Who have you met, though, that before we. When we get to this, who have you met?
Bert Kreischer
Where?
Sam Morril
It's been bad.
Bert Kreischer
Dax Shepherd.
Sam Morril
Oh, why?
Bert Kreischer
I was doing, you know, doing podcasts, and you're around and you're like. And like, Tom. Tom and I are doing a podcast, and he's like, yo, Dax Shepard got a new podcast. Number one podcast in the country. I was like, I fucked Dax Shepard. I just started trashing Dax Shepard. What? You're lecturing him in the fence all the time.
Mark Norman
Well, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't say that guy. I just say, I got a trans kid.
Bert Kreischer
You know when you talk wild and you just drunk.
Mark Norman
Sure.
Bert Kreischer
And I just trash him. And I'm like. I'm like, dude, I don't know what I went off, you know?
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
You know when you. You know when your boy's, like, egging you on and you're like. And he's laughing. So you're like, I'll make him laugh hard.
Mark Norman
Right, Right.
Bert Kreischer
And then two things happen. Number one, I got a Dax Shepard shirt in the mail. Whoa.
Mark Norman
He sent a message, passive aggressive.
Bert Kreischer
And I was like, oh, it's like.
Mark Norman
A horse head in the bed.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Then I gotta. Then, like, I don't talk to him for, like, I have big stuff coming out where I'm not do. I would love to have done his podcast. You know, like, the movie came out. I would love to have done his podcast. But, like, yo, I talked. It's like, you dig that you laid in the hole.
Mark Norman
You dig, right?
Sam Morril
You talk on the number one podcast, dude.
Mark Norman
Is it number one? Is it.
Sam Morril
That's what he just said.
Bert Kreischer
It was the number one podcast at the time. Oh, it was, like, so hot. And it still is a huge, like.
Sam Morril
You know who else sucks? Call her daddy Rogan.
Mark Norman
Good way to get on.
Bert Kreischer
Hold on. You see, Gavin Newsom, we know dudes that have trashed Rogan publicly that have even been on his podcast.
Mark Norman
That's true.
Bert Kreischer
And they. They're doing it because they. They're bummed that he's not returning their call.
Mark Norman
Ah.
Bert Kreischer
They have no idea. He has seven numbers ago.
Sam Morril
It's like a. It's like a chick.
Mark Norman
Good point.
Sam Morril
It's like a chick who you're mad about and you're outside the window with a stereo. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
She moved houses. Yeah. She didn't live in that house anymore. And you're out there. Why isn't she opening her window?
Mark Norman
Yeah. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
So. So then Dax says to me, so then I get a call, and they're like, yo, this happened with a couple bill I've trashed.
Mark Norman
Damn.
Sam Morril
I want to hear the other names.
Mark Norman
I know. I'm. I can't wait.
Bert Kreischer
Kevin Hart.
Mark Norman
Oh, What?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. But not like a real trashing, but like, it's. It's. The whole name of the special is Lucky. And it's because I got.
Sam Morril
At the end, you say, thanks, I'm Kevin Hart. No, that would be a horrible idea.
Mark Norman
Horrible idea. What a hack move.
Sam Morril
Yeah. So stupid. So I would.
Bert Kreischer
I had a period of time where I was tired of hearing about people's hard work. I was like, yo, you can work your ass off. We all know guys who bust their ass every day. Every day, they show up to the club, they have new jokes, they're working their ass off, but they just haven't had the lucky break. The one thing you know, and everyone can identify, that lucky break is like, something really great happens to you, and then all of a sudden, it opens up the fucking world to you. And so. And Kevin Hart used to say, and by the way, Kevin, I'm already sorry for what I'm about to say.
Mark Norman
Oh, boy.
Bert Kreischer
But Kevin Hart used to say, you know, I'm the hardest working man in comedy. I'm the hardest working man in comedy. And at a time, it was like. It was kind of, like, grating on my ears. So I was like, no, we all work hard, but you have had lucky breaks. I want to hear about. I just wanted to hear about the lucky break. I wanted to hear. Just tell me a lucky break so that. That gives me hope.
Mark Norman
Right.
Bert Kreischer
I can believe in luck. Like, hard work. Dude. There's a dude digging a hole listening to this right now, going, yeah, I bust my ass every day. I can't catch a break.
Sam Morril
True.
Bert Kreischer
And I was like. And so an agent came up to me.
Mark Norman
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
And he goes, I heard what you said about Kevin Hart. You want to know his lucky break? I said, I would love to.
Sam Morril
He said he did Dax Shepard's podcast. I put him over the top.
Bert Kreischer
No, this is wild.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
He goes, kevin Hart. Kevin Hart did Soul playing.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
It didn't do well. So he got put on timeout. Right?
Mark Norman
Yeah. Right.
Bert Kreischer
You can't. You're not. You're not. Yeah. You hop off the carousel, and you got to wait till it goes around a couple times to get back on.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And then they have a movie called Fool's gold with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
Cat Williams is supposed to play the gangster in that. Cat Williams packs a gun in his luggage, and he gets arrested at the airport.
Mark Norman
Was that his regular gun or the movie gun?
Bert Kreischer
His regular gun.
Mark Norman
Okay.
Sam Morril
Did he not know you're not supposed to do that?
Bert Kreischer
I don't know. Photography. Starting in a week, they already have wardrobe for a small black man. Oh, I want to hear that story. Tell me that story.
Mark Norman
That's a great story.
Bert Kreischer
That's the story I can hang my hat on.
Sam Morril
You know, we need, like, James Belushi to, like, fucking get arrested for weed. And, like, Bert's stepping in, dude. According to Bert.
Bert Kreischer
But every. Every comic. Every comic's got a vi. Lucky moment. A lucky moment.
Mark Norman
That's a good point.
Bert Kreischer
And it makes you go viral. And I'll do it for everyone. I'll do it for everyone if you want. But I can tell you burrs, you know, Burrs.
Mark Norman
Yeah, the. The heckle thing.
Bert Kreischer
The Philly.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Sam Morril
If that for you, it's the machine 100% gaffing in the top pocket.
Mark Norman
Yeah, it's.
Bert Kreischer
It's. It's that lucky moment. Mine was December 27th. A woman named Kristen Hodgson opened up an iPad she got for Christmas. Open up. Two days late, she uploads Facebook. The first video she sees is my machine story. And she writes, I was in Birch rushing class. I was on this trip. The story's 100% true. He fucking robbed us. Wow. Like, it's like you want to. This is how much I believe in luck. Like, okay, I'm on my sixth special, my fourth Netflix special. Yeah, maybe I don't do. Maybe I only do two. You know, secret time comes out. Does. Okay. Next one comes out. I'm like, I hope it does. Well, my special dropped March 17, 2020.
Mark Norman
Oh, the pandemic.
Bert Kreischer
Bad home orders were March 14. If that's not fucking luck, I don't know what is good. If you don't identify your luck, then you're being disingenuous to the people.
Sam Morril
I had a similar thing happen. February 2020. My YouTube thing came out. Not a lot of YouTube specials existed at the time, so that gave me a nice little bump.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Same with you on the phone.
Mark Norman
Same with me. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I remember talking to you on the phone about it.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Norman
Thank God for the pandemic.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, thank God for luck.
Sam Morril
Nothing bad happened from that.
Mark Norman
No, no. But, yeah, you're right. There's always something. There's always a thing. Like, thank God with burrs, there was a camera rolling and by. Can you imagine?
Bert Kreischer
Camera.
Mark Norman
And it still worked.
Bert Kreischer
And it still worked.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Jeffries, you ready?
Mark Norman
Oh, the punch. Pull up the punch. It was.
Sam Morril
Jim had, like, three. Jim also had the. The gun bid.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no, no.
Mark Norman
But that's a bit.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, that's a bit. That's a great bit. Jim Jeffries. Here's what's crazy. Brett Pinter. No, Andres. Andres Andre 3000. No, no. Brett is his. Andre's brother, and Brett's a manager in there.
Mark Norman
Okay.
Bert Kreischer
And so Brett was. Didn't. He knew how to edit. He knew how. He was Jim's manager, and he posted it on. Jim could have never posted that on MySpace. Jim's never used a fucking computer in his life. So, like, there's crazy luck that applies to life. And I feel if you identify your luck, you're that much smarter of a man. And don't. Don't sit there and go, I deserve this. No, no, I got lucky as fuck. I met a guy one time who was like, hey, Man, I'd love for you my podcast. I was like, yeah, I don't really know what podcasts are, but that would be cool. Joe Rogan.
Mark Norman
Dang.
Bert Kreischer
Come on, man.
Mark Norman
Come on.
Bert Kreischer
What the are we talking about?
Sam Morril
Who's another guy that you. That you talk about that had to run into?
Bert Kreischer
Because Jack Shepard was the one? Yeah, Dax Shepard. I got a good one. I'm doing a podcast with a guy I trashed on Rogan.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah?
Sam Morril
Who?
Bert Kreischer
Gene Simmons. Oh, Dax Shepard came, and so, like, I would get texts or a thing. Kevin Hart wants you to be on his podcast. And I would be like, cool, because I know I kind of, like. I kind of made fun. Like, I would trash him for the hard work, but I was like, I know. We're cool. And I hung out with him at the Brady Roast. Yeah, we're fine. And we're totally fine.
Mark Norman
And it's cool that they have you on. It's what, one thing? They're like, him. I never want to see him again. But they're like, no, let's talk about it.
Bert Kreischer
And so I get a text a couple times. Dax Shepard for two Bears. And I'm like, yeah. In my head, I go like, I hope so. I'd love to, you know, clear the air.
Mark Norman
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Maybe he didn't hear it. So Dax Separate comes on two Bears. And I was like, hey, man, such a fan. He's like, oh, they're so similar, man. Like, so cool. He's like, yo, I have a tour bus at my house. I was like, no way. He's like, yeah. He's like, I see your tour bus. I was like, yeah. And we're clicking. We're clicking. And I was like, nice. Bring him into the fucking podcast house. And he's like, dude, this is great that you do this here, man. This is crazy. We get up. And I was like, dude, it's so good to have you. And he was like, why did you trash me?
Mark Norman
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
And I'm like, he had it really in it, but, yeah, but he's. He. And I was like. And I told him. I was like, dude, when you do podcasts as much as we do, you talk recklessly. You say wild.
Sam Morril
He's like, yeah, I know how podcasts work. I have the number one podcast in.
Bert Kreischer
The world, and I've never trashed anybody. And he was like. And I was like, hey, man, if it's any consolation, I was trashing Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, too. And he was like, they're on my network.
Sam Morril
Well, dude, the Thing is, you realize we talk so much.
Mark Norman
Of course. And we record it all.
Sam Morril
And we're drunk.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
And we're drunk. And we go and we're like. I did. I remember one time going on Rogan, and I was like, yo, I'm not going to trash anybody. I'm going to celebrate everybody. Like, anytime a name comes up so much, I love them. And I did it the next day. I never happened on Rogan before. I got, like, 10 texts from everyone like, dude, that was so cool of you. You're the best, man. Thank you so much. I love you to death. And I was like. I said, stop trashing people.
Mark Norman
Yeah, but it's so fun. I know. And it's.
Sam Morril
Both are fun. It's fun to put people over, too.
Mark Norman
Yeah. Cosby. I love your later.
Sam Morril
I love him. I think Epstein was really cool.
Bert Kreischer
Simmons was the wildest one.
Sam Morril
Well, what did he kiss? What do you say about him?
Bert Kreischer
So I met Gene Simmons, like, 22 years ago. He was a. He was an absolute. I mean, like, top to bottom, I was the biggest Kiss fan. Dressed as Gene Simmons for Halloween. Did my talent show dressed as Gene Simmons. And I've never been more let down on a celebrity in my entire life. Wow. If I go on Rogan, I tell the whole story. Oh, what a. And I start saying, hashtag Gene Simmons.
Mark Norman
Jesus.
Bert Kreischer
Gene Simmons. And so lick it up. So. But I go. But I go. Burn it to the ground. I don't care. Right?
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
So I'm at the Forum. I'm at.
Mark Norman
Well, you never think you're gonna see.
Bert Kreischer
Tommy show at the Forum. So we were all doing the Forum that week. Like Netflix a joke. We did Tom Brady. Tommy Schultz did one.
Mark Norman

Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Oh, that's right.
Mark Norman
Yeah. That was a hell of a show.
Sam Morril
We opened that. That was fun.
Bert Kreischer
Did IVs, and I'm at Tommy show. I'm doing it Friday. Tommy's like, Wednesday, maybe I'm Saturday, Tommy's Thursday. And I'm at the bar and at the club, and Gene Simmons son comes up to me.
Mark Norman

Mark Norman
Oh, boy.
Bert Kreischer
I go, oh, that's so cool, man. I'm a fan of his, too, because I've seen him on stuff. And I watched their show Family Jewels, and I found him and his sister very fucking funny and relatable. And I love their mom. I love their mom. And so I go, cool. And he goes, I'd love to introduce you to my dad. And I was like, I'm gonna pass. And he goes, why? I said, I. You know, man, I just. I'm good. I'm good. And he goes, hold on. What? He treated you like? And I went, yeah. And he goes, what's the story? And I go, I. I'd rather not share. And he goes, hold on. He goes, mom, come here. Brings his mom over.

She's Shannon Tweed.
Mark Norman
That's it.
Bert Kreischer
Gorgeous.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
She goes. She goes, my husband treated you like. I want to hear the story. And so I tell them the story. I tell them the full story, and they're like, cool, we'll fix this. And they're like, dad, get over here. And he comes over and he goes, so nice to meet you. I'm Gene Simmons. And I go, yeah. His son goes, dad, you treated him like an asshole like, fucking 20 years ago. You need to apologize. And he goes, damn. He goes, I'd like to hear the story. So I tell the story of Gene treating me like an asshole 22 years ago. And he looks at me, goes, I sincerely apologize. Hey, I'm not that person today. I have had missteps and.
Sam Morril
Was he an alcoholic or something?
Bert Kreischer
No, he just.
Mark Norman
It's like he was a rock star.
Bert Kreischer
He was famous when you couldn't be famous, right? Like, we're all famous now, and we're not. We shouldn't be famous. You are.
Mark Norman
No.
Bert Kreischer
You get recognized walking down the street.
Sam Morril
New York's different. No, you get recognized walking down a street in Toledo.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, but. No, but you walk. You get like. I had a crazy one. The bus driver pulled the bus over to say hi to me. Dang, that was a wild one. But the special just dropped. It's always. New York's a weird place because they always. The first time I ever got recognized for anything was Secret Time, and it was in New York. They. They all fucking check out Netflix.
Mark Norman
Yeah. They love. You know what? The working man. Like, I'll get the garbage man going. Comedy. It's a great feeling, dude.
Bert Kreischer
I got the one. I got the one guy smoking a joint in a. In a. In a nook, like. Like one of those door nooks on the street.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And he goes, hey. And I was like, yeah. He goes, fuck you. I said, What? And he goes, you got me crying in my van today. And I was like, oh. And he's like, fucking do. Five foot six, Puerto Rican, 280 pounds.
Mark Norman
Only a New Yorker opens with you.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
And it's a good thing, but it's a compliment. Yeah. Yeah.
Sam Morril
That's what I love about this city.
Mark Norman
Damn. Yeah, I get the cops every now and then, too. Hey, comedy. Comedy. They love. They love Rogan.
Bert Kreischer
Can I tell you what's crazy? So I went to Paris. I understand this is going to sound a tad bit disconnected, but I don't care. I went to Paris, and I didn't get recognized. I got recognized, like, three times in Paris.
Mark Norman
Well, they're sophisticated over there, by the way, the on people has worked. It's gotten you to meet these people. So maybe it's a move. You got. You got Dax in there. You got Gene Simmons.
Bert Kreischer
Shouldn't be the move.
Mark Norman
Kevin Hart.
Bert Kreischer
I trashed Reese Witherspoon one time.
Sam Morril
Really? What'd you say?
Bert Kreischer
I don't know.
Mark Norman
All right, all right.
Sam Morril
You haven't met her yet, though.
Bert Kreischer
No, no.
Mark Norman
Come on in, Reese.
Bert Kreischer
But the. The.
Mark Norman
Why'd I.
Sam Morril
Look?
Bert Kreischer
I was in. I was.
Sam Morril
Oh, no, we know. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I was in Paris, and I. And I. It's crazy. I don't know if you guys. If. If this is. If you can do this yet, but, like, I can tell you someone's gonna recognize me before they recognize.
Mark Norman
Yeah, you can see it.
Bert Kreischer
I can see. Like, you're. You're my guy. Yeah, you're my guy. You don't know me. Like, if I saw him walking down the street, I was like, what's up, dude? And he'd be like, oh, like, I. I can. I can figure out my guys.
Mark Norman
Yeah. Fellow chubster.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Beard.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
My guy, right?

Mark Norman
Hey, cute kid.
Bert Kreischer
You know all the songs? Every song he's ever done.
Mark Norman
Okay.
Bert Kreischer
Every song you've ever heard in your entire life.
Mark Norman
Got it.
Bert Kreischer
He said to me, I'm Norman today. I said, I can tell you who's gonna recognize me. And he went, really? And I said, yeah. I said, watch this. And we were standing at the tennis storm, and this guy walks by. I go, right here. Here we go. What's up? And he goes, oh, shit. The Machine. And he goes, yeah. And I go. He goes, well, I guess I can do the same thing. I go, really? And he goes, yeah, watch this. And I go, what? And he goes, asian. Hey. And they go, oh, my God, oh.
Mark Norman
My God, oh, my God.
Bert Kreischer
So I'm in Paris and I'm seeing dudes who should be fans of mine. I'm seeing guys that.
Sam Morril
I go, fat Parisians.
Bert Kreischer
This table is gonna fucking lose their kids.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Walk in LA Machine. And they're not. And they're not recognizing me. And I wanted to go over and be like, you guys. I need to introduce you to something based on your clothing and your facial hair. You should be a big fan of this.
Mark Norman
They want Gad Amlay or some shit over there. They don't.
Bert Kreischer
Dad. Amelay.
Mark Norman
That's his name, right?
Sam Morril
He's like the big French guy.
Mark Norman
He's a big French comedian.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, yeah.
Mark Norman
They call him the friend of Seinfeld all the time.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, he was Seinfeld's boy.
Mark Norman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's huge over there. He does like arenas and whatnot. But I don't know if they like American comedy. We were like, American. I saw, you know, that's so low brow. They think we're.
Sam Morril
Yeah, but then you see what the. They laugh at and you're like, we're low brow.
Mark Norman
That's true.
Sam Morril
You like mimes.
Mark Norman
Yeah, good point.
Bert Kreischer
Hang on. Some of the mime shit's good.
Sam Morril
It's incredibly like. It takes an insane skill set, but it's not like. It's not like comedy. I want to watch.
Bert Kreischer
No, I followed boy with the tape on his face.
Sam Morril
Oh, dude, he beat me on America's Got Talent.
Mark Norman
Oh, tape face. He's good.
Sam Morril
He fucking rules. He's. But that's like chaplain esque type.
Mark Norman
Yeah, he's good.
Sam Morril
That's incredible.
Mark Norman
And he's American British. Okay.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. I was at the Comedy Store in London.
Sam Morril
He's. He is incredibly talented.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, he was. He was. I was like. I was like, I fucking smoke this shit.
Sam Morril
No, I thought. I talked to him afterwards. He was like, great set, mate.
Mark Norman
Oh, really?
Sam Morril
Yeah. No, he was really nice.
Mark Norman
I gave my wife to do that bite.
Bert Kreischer
It's called hostage tape.
Sam Morril
People are using.
Bert Kreischer
It's going viral.
Mark Norman
I've never heard of this.
Sam Morril
Are you using that?
Bert Kreischer
No. Rogan tried to turn me onto it. I'm like, I'm not going to take my mouth shut.
Mark Norman
What the hell?
Bert Kreischer
My thing is talking. Maybe if I take. Maybe if I use hostage tape on Two Bears, people would watch it. More.
Mark Norman
Ah. That's the original Oz epic. You can't eat. What is this?
Sam Morril
I guess it's supposed to help you sleep.
Bert Kreischer
Right.
Sam Morril
So you breathe.
Bert Kreischer
What?
Sam Morril
You breathe through your nose instead of your mouth.
Bert Kreischer
You tape your mouth shut and then you breathe through your nose. You don't snore and you sleep better. So apparently, mouth breathing. You ever heard someone be called a mouth breather and they're, like, dumb? Well, it's because you don't get enough oxygen to your brain, so you actually are dumb. I'm a hardcore mouth breather. I'm such a mouth breather. And this is why Joe and I started talking about. This was. I had. I would swell my uvula because I breathed through my mouth so hard while I slept. So you know that little thing that dangles your little goozle?
Mark Norman
Yeah, yeah. In the back.
Bert Kreischer
In the back.
Mark Norman
Yeah, the hanging ball.
Bert Kreischer
The hanging ball. Mine would swell up.
Mark Norman
Whoa.
Bert Kreischer
Because I breathed through my mouth so hard. So if I drank too much and passed out, I'd breathe only through my mouth, not through my nose. And it would get so dry, it would get swollen. And then it would give me a panic attack.
Mark Norman
Sure.
Bert Kreischer
Because do you wake up.
Sam Morril
Do you get, like, hangovers where you wake up and you're like, fuck. Because you.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Sam Morril
You seem like you weather the storm.
Bert Kreischer
I drink. So I drink every night. I drink. Minimum four liquid deaths right before bed. Right before bed.
Sam Morril
I drink smart. That's the hangover seat, Pete.
Bert Kreischer
How many did I have on the floor yesterday?
Sam Morril
Seven.
Bert Kreischer
I drink. I murder Fucking water.
Sam Morril
Doesn't that make you wake up to piss all night?
Mark Norman
Have you heard?
Bert Kreischer
I piss and I go. I'm going right back to bed because I'm hydrated and I'm healthy and I wake up, no fucking shaky.
Mark Norman
Come on, dude, I've tried everything. Nothing works for me.
Bert Kreischer
This morning I got so drunk last night, I had a Costa Rican chick take me to my room and I had to tell her, yo, I'm married. It's not happening. She was just a good Samaritan room I was in. I didn't know my room number. I didn't have a key. She just carried me to my room.
Mark Norman
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
And then I shot her down after all her good work.
Mark Norman
Yeah, sure. Let's do another round there.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I'll do another round.
Mark Norman
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
And then. But then I murdered water. I Woke up at 6am Went to the gym, ran three miles, did the Today show. Look what.
Sam Morril
Look what liquid death has us talking like, I murdered water. It's so violent. We drank Water.
Mark Norman
I owe Jade some water.
Bert Kreischer
It's liquid death. The. The delivery system's brilliant.
Mark Norman
Yeah. And no one believed in it. Like, can of water. What is this? And then it just took off.
Bert Kreischer
I did early.
Sam Morril
Have you tried the. Have you tried the. The Topo Chico Seltzer, though? It's unbelievable.
Mark Norman
Very good.
Sam Morril
The glass. I don't know why it's so good.
Bert Kreischer
It's better in a cocktail.
Sam Morril
It's very nice.
Bert Kreischer
No shit on liquid death. I love you guys.
Sam Morril
Yeah. Are they a sponsor, Matt? Well, then you're fine.
Mark Norman

Bert Kreischer
We had to have you reach out to Mike. Dan.
Sam Morril
No, we like it.
Bert Kreischer
You know, Dan is Colleen's son.
Mark Norman
Oh, that's right.
Sam Morril
Holy shit. From Omaha.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I love Colleen.
Bert Kreischer
I would argue.
Sam Morril
I would argue that. I would argue that's maybe the best workout room in the country.
Bert Kreischer
Can I tell you, I just talked.
Sam Morril
About Omaha Funny Bone.
Bert Kreischer
I talked about this on a podcast today. I would. I'd bet. I'd bet $10,000 that Andrew Schultz and Shane Gillis have never done the Omaha Funny Bone.
Sam Morril
Oh, really?
Mark Norman
I've done it 10 times.
Bert Kreischer
I've done it.
Sam Morril
We know. You know what they say about Omaha is when a fast food spot wants to try out a new item, they go to Omaha first. Because it's such a good representation of America.
Mark Norman
It's America.
Sam Morril
Well, then why wouldn't the club be the best club for knowing what's gonna work in this country?
Mark Norman
Right?
Sam Morril
I mean, it's perfect. That room is. I've had, like, some of my best sets.
Mark Norman
It's magic. There's.
Sam Morril
Because they're so open minded.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Sam Morril
You can kind of go anywhere. I love Omaha.
Bert Kreischer
I did my. I did razzle dazzle in Omaha. People like, why'd you pick Omaha? I go, it's a great comedy town.
Sam Morril
It is.
Bert Kreischer
I did my specials. Philadelphia, Cleveland, Omaha, Tampa.
Sam Morril
I'm gonna do my next one in Tampa.
Mark Norman
I think Tampa's killer.
Sam Morril
I love Tampa. You know, here's something no one in Tampa has ever said. You can't joke about that there. They can take, I offended one person there in my entire life, and I remember her face because that's how rarely it happens.
Mark Norman
Would you make fun of Trump?
Sam Morril
No, What I did was I did that. Remember the alligator joke by the gator? A woman walked out of the fucking club, took a picture of herself crying and posted it on Their Facebook page. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Bert Kreischer
Joke. Because I think I heard this. Now we have a very specific response to that gator attack. Yeah, everyone in Tampa does. Yeah, everyone in Florida does. Like, there's. And I think we'd be on your. Your team. Yeah. Is that. Yeah, you. No one ever jumped into a lake and felt safe. Like, there's fucking reptiles in there that eat you, take you to their layer, wait till your body decays and then finishes you.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Like. And so, like, when it's so fun. What was your joke?
Sam Morril
I said it was the baby getting eaten by the gator at Disney. And I said, you know, I said, I want to come off like a gun nut, but I think if that baby were armed, he'd still be with us. And then I said, watching them, this was like, what set up the whole long bit? I said, the mom came on. I said, a woman got offended in the crowd, so she was like, you can't joke about that. And it literally just happened. So I was just rolling with her and I said, well, did you even see the baby's funeral on tv? Which obviously it wasn't. They don't televise baby funerals. But she bit. And she goes, I did. And I said, well, if you did, you would have seen the mom through tears, say, see you later, alligator. So I thought it was beautiful. And that fucking crushed. And I was like, okay, that's the start of a bit. And it turned into an eight minute bit because then she wrote an email being like, fuck you. And I'm like, okay, I can read the email now.
Mark Norman
She helped you?
Bert Kreischer
She helped me.
Sam Morril
She gave me an eight minute bid.
Mark Norman
That's amazing.
Sam Morril
That's how it started. But it went to, like, fucking a long bit.
Bert Kreischer
But it was, you know, that's a lesson.
Sam Morril
It's a lesson. Like, we were like, oh, like, her crying, you getting. You. You getting mad. Just gave me material.
Mark Norman
Alligator tears.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Leanne got upset about something the other day. I can say it.
Mark Norman
What, a sex toy Die.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, it's. I guess Ari's been going around saying that the.
Mark Norman
Oh, geez, Ari. Dude, he never stops, this guy.
Bert Kreischer
You. You get the good side of it.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Is that what we've been getting? What did he do?
Bert Kreischer
I guess he's telling everyone that the. That the drugging was a scripted bit. We did. What? I don't know. I don't know why he's doing it. It's like, I don't. I don't really understand why Doing it, but I don't really care. But I guess it got to Leanne and it really upset her. It really upset her.
Sam Morril
But it's not true, so why does it upset her?
Bert Kreischer
That's what I said. I go, baby, it's not true. She goes, I know, but why would he. He apologized and we were good. Why would he just. Why wouldn't he just leave that be? Yeah, baby, he's a comedian. Everything's funny. He's looking for something to say on a podcast. I go, I don't know. And it's so funny because it was like a real weird learning moment for her, right? She goes, I'm gonna make a post. And I went, stop right there.
Mark Norman
No, no, don't post.
Bert Kreischer
I go, baby, if you post, that'll make Ari laugh. Hard as fuck.
Mark Norman
He wins and he wins.
Bert Kreischer
And I go, your silence is golden. Like, your silence is so precious. To never say a word about something is so precious. Do you know how many times I wanted to send. I'll say this right now. I had a friend one time who I've always supported say something shitty about me, and it hurt my feelings. Really hurt my feelings, because this guy sucks. He really sucks in life. And I've always been a fan of his, and I've always. I've never said a shitty word. When everyone trashes him, I've never said a shitty word about it.
Sam Morril
Is this about Ari too?
Bert Kreischer
No. And I texted. Texted Tom, and I said I was drunk. I was like, I'm gonna fucking. I'm gonna text him. Yeah, I'm gonna put a post out. Tom goes, man, your silence is so precious. Yeah, don't say anything. And they never said anything. And now I just don't like the guy. And I.
Mark Norman
Perfect.
Bert Kreischer
I'd much rather not like someone and know you're a shitty person. And I'll tell you exactly what is in two seconds. Oh, but yeah. And I go, dax Shepard, edit that out. No, I'm kidding. Who was it edit out?
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
What are we gonna wide shot this whole time?
Sam Morril
No.
Mark Norman
Well, it's on you.
Bert Kreischer
I'll tell you after this.
Sam Morril
All right, all right. Well, you know, it's interesting because in that situation, Bert, you're like, do I. If I care about the person, I'll confront them.
Bert Kreischer
I say that about the person so much. Well, that's a friend of this person. It bothered me so much that they would take a shot at me.
Mark Norman
And I go, I know who this is.
Bert Kreischer
You do?
Mark Norman
I know now I text you. No, I just I put it together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't respond to that.
Bert Kreischer
It so bothered me. I was like. And then you go, you know what? Your silence is perfect. Don't say anything. Just let it go.
Sam Morril
Have you run into this person since.
Mark Norman
Nah, he's. He's not doing stuff. Oh, that's one of the beauties of this guy being.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, wait, no, it's not who you think.
Mark Norman
Oh, okay.
Bert Kreischer
I.
Mark Norman
By the way, never mind that I.
Bert Kreischer
Know who you're thinking. That is so funny that I know who you're thinking because you said, no, he's not doing stuff.
Mark Norman
Well, you said he was a piece of. Or he's going. Going nowhere.
Sam Morril
Well, now I know who you're thinking of.
Mark Norman
This is quite a game of telephone here. Of telepathic telephone.
Bert Kreischer
This should be a game.
Sam Morril
This should be a game.
Mark Norman
I know you're thinking, but not that guy.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, no, I totally understand. I said your silence is. Is the only thing you have.
Mark Norman
Women love that silence is golden.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
That's what every wife wants to hear.
Sam Morril
Please tape over her mouth and then.
Mark Norman
Yeah, but yeah, smart move. Why Keep it going. That's what Ari wants. And told her.
Bert Kreischer
I go, he's baby, he's a comedian.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I go, like most of us are like, are like 60, 70% comedian, then like 30% human. I go, Ari's 95% comedian. 5% human.
Mark Norman
You said it was. He might be the most purest comedian just in. In life.
Sam Morril
Well, there's definitely anarchists in there too.
Mark Norman
Yeah, that's part of it.
Sam Morril
Because I love Ari, but the Kobe shit was not really a joke. That was him just like being like, hey, fuck everybody. Like, he likes to just. He likes to just have like, find like a house doused in gasoline and just throw a match on it. Right?
Bert Kreischer
He's a troll.
Sam Morril
He's a troll.
Bert Kreischer
Before trolls, by the way.
Sam Morril
I've never been, but he's an actual funny dude.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I would love to be a troll.
Sam Morril
Now you.
Bert Kreischer
A week just to see how it feels. Can you.
Sam Morril
Wouldn't feel good.
Bert Kreischer
Can you imagine? I mean, I.
Mark Norman
Look, you got to deal with a lot of hate and that's not easy.
Sam Morril
But Bird, the reason you're not a troll is cuz you're having fun and you're positive. I mean, like, you don't get to do.
Mark Norman
He came to my wedding and I was nervous the whole time. He was gonna like, light something on fire.
Sam Morril
Oh, I got fucking lit up with him the night before. I still remember the night me, Stavi and Ari just ended up at a gas station eating fried chicken.
Mark Norman
Ye. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And.
Sam Morril
And I. I've told this story before, but, you know, Ari and I just hammered and just being like, g. Imagine eating this shit sober. And Stav goes, I'm sober.
Mark Norman
But he's also hilarious, and he does good stuff. He's like Robin Hood, you know, he got kids paid at a Montreal.
Sam Morril
He's a complicated man.
Mark Norman
He's nuanced.
Bert Kreischer
It's like I told. I told Leanne when. When Leanne and my girls did not want me to be friends with him again. The girls still don't want me friends with him. And I said, he's like chemotherapy.
Mark Norman
Like, oh, that's good.
Bert Kreischer
Need him. I do need him. Like, I spent all last night with him. We had a great time.
Mark Norman
He's a good, fun, good time.
Bert Kreischer
We had a great talk. We talked. We just talked about comedy, and we just talked about life and comedy and podcasting, and it was a very important conversation in my life. But the tax I pay is that he may drug me.
Mark Norman
Not so bad.
Bert Kreischer
Last night, he tried to defend. He goes, do you know why I drugged you? And I was like, yeah, I do know why. I don't think you know why.
Sam Morril
What did he say?
Bert Kreischer
He was like, because you said you'd done cocaine, so I know you'd be cool with it. And I was like, that's not why you drugged me, Ari.
Mark Norman
Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
Bert Kreischer
Also, he's a lunatic.
Sam Morril
Oh, it has the opposite effect.
Mark Norman
It was Molly. I was there that night. You were having a great time.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I can't own that now because it's, like. It's crazy to, like. It's crazy because it. It green lights it for kids. That's the only thing. Like, I'm a dad first, right? I'm a dad. I really am a dad. And so, like, I don't ever want some kid that is a fan of this to go, dude, Molly, my boys. It's the funniest thing ever. And you're like, no, they may also die, and you may also rot in a jail cell. Like, don't do it. Like, it's. It was a dumb thing you should have done. Say to your friend, would you like, Molly? And then your friend may say, yes, and then have a great time.
Mark Norman
Right?
Bert Kreischer
So easy to do.
Sam Morril
But if we were in a jail cell and this was like, a jail movie, Ari would definitely, like, help lead the escape.
Mark Norman
That's true.
Sam Morril
He would definitely be one of the people who started, like, digging the hole.
Mark Norman
Right? Right.
Sam Morril
You know, you don't think so he'd.
Mark Norman
Be the first guy shot by the tower.
Sam Morril
So you said, you know. You think you know why he did that?
Bert Kreischer
Why do you think he did that? I know why.
Mark Norman
You know why?
Bert Kreischer
You're not gonna share?
Mark Norman
He wanted to fuck with you.
Bert Kreischer
No, I don't know. All right, listen, hang on. It's. We're forgetting this. That we. Sometimes I think people think this happened in a fishbowl, but it didn't. It happened in my life. And. And I have very important people in that. We're doing Sober October. I mean, the thing. The thing that. You know, it's so funny, you know, I love Ari. I love Ari to death.
Sam Morril
We all do.
Bert Kreischer
But he said on Two Bears, he goes, the reason we don't do Sober October anymore is that you make everything about yourself. And I went. I didn't say anything then, but the truth is that he mollied me and it. And we didn't talk in our chat thread. The whole month. No one talked. So Brooktober, no one talked. No one talked.
Sam Morril
We already drugged all of them.
Bert Kreischer
It was crazy because it was because of such a real event that the chat thread went silent for the whole month. And the funnest part of Sober October was the chat thread is.
Sam Morril
That was totally.
Bert Kreischer
Is the texting of, like, what calories you have, bitch. And then I go. I just taunt Rogan. I go, I fucking own your shit. And like. And we go back and forth, and it was so fucking fun.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
But that month, we didn't do it. And then we never did Sober October again. And that's why it. So Brooks over died. Is that because of that? But in that moment, I definitely talked every day to fucking Joe and Tom about, like, I was going through. And Whitney. I talked to Whitney. I was in therapy at the time. Like, it was. It was so confusing because it was such a fucked up moment. But I also wanted to forgive him. I had to forgive him because I couldn't. I was in Connecticut going to.
Sam Morril
We have such a weird profession.
Bert Kreischer
No one can understand it. Yeah. You know, do you know people like. And this bums me out. Like, I'll tell you right now, if you're watching this, if you talk shit about Tommy, if you talk shit about Joe, if you talk shit about Sam or Mark, talk shit about Shane, talk shit about Stavi. You talk shit about Ari. I'm not your boy, okay? Don't tag me in that post. I don't want to know about your shit. I'm. I'm a wr. Die for my guys. Like, the guys I love. Nikki Glazer, Whitney Cummings. Like, I mean.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Don't talk. I don't. I'm not. I'm not a fan of that.
Mark Norman
Me neither.
Bert Kreischer
And so, like. So, like, people were trashing Aran, but I was like, I know him and I love him. He's my brother.
Sam Morril
Right.
Bert Kreischer
I gotta figure out a way to forgive him.
Mark Norman
And if you look at his career, it makes you feel better just with the Ari.
Bert Kreischer
But. But it's like. It's like, dude, I can't. I can't just be some guy that just never forgives him and then.
Mark Norman
No, you don't be the bitter guy.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. And. And so I had to. I was in Connecticut. I was pulling into A Planet Fitness, and he. And he called me every day. He called me every day, like two.
Mark Norman
Or three times because he feels bad. He does have feelings.
Bert Kreischer
He is a human.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And I. I answered it and he was like, hey, did I fuck things up forever?
Mark Norman
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
I was like, no.
Sam Morril
That's the funny thing about. He'll do something terrible. And then. And then he's like. You're like, aw, Ari.
Mark Norman
I know.
Sam Morril
There's something kind of adorable at the way he, like, he did it. I remember he did it to Ricky Velez one night at the Cellar where Ricky's counting money and Ari just smacks it out of his hand.
Mark Norman
Money went everywhere.
Sam Morril
Money went everywhere. And Ricky was so fucking mad. He was like, what the fuck? And Ari immediately was like, I'm sorry. And he helps him pick the money up. It was like. It's funny to see, like, from. From A to B, what you get.
Bert Kreischer
Is like, Ari came. Ari would come to my house and. All the time. All the time. And. And bring his bag and do laundry and hang kids. My kids loved him. Yeah. Like, there was so much and.
Sam Morril
But they haven't forgiven him yet.
Bert Kreischer
I know. Will never. Isla will never. I don't. Said to me, he tried to kill my dad.
Mark Norman
Ah.
Bert Kreischer
And you're like, don't say it like that. And then Isla was like, yo, someone drugs me in college. And you see me text them, are you cool with that?
Sam Morril
And I go, wow.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Mark Norman
Interesting.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
Yikes. Well, some people like Molly, like, something. Some people out there would be like, you gave me Molly. This is great.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Sam Morril
But not against their will. Yeah, you don't want to be drugged.
Mark Norman
I don't know if it was against the will. I think it was more of a surprise, right?
Bert Kreischer
No, it's drugging someone.
Mark Norman
I guess you're right.
Bert Kreischer
Roofy apologist for what? Yeah. Okay. We're not done, are we?
Mark Norman
Yeah, no, no.
Sam Morril
Cosby didn't roofy someone. It was a surprise.
Mark Norman
Yeah, it was a good point.
Sam Morril
After the rape. Gotcha.
Mark Norman
Surprise party.
Bert Kreischer
No, I love Ari. I love already to death. And. And. And I'm glad you let her die for that.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And so even when the Kobe happened, I was like, sure. I was like. I was like, yo, I didn't stand up from the way I should have. I think you did.
Mark Norman
I did. Yeah. Because, you know, it's words. We're doing jokes, we're comments. Same with Gillis. I stood up for Gillis, too. It's a joke.
Sam Morril
I don't like how political every standup has become.
Mark Norman
I agree.
Sam Morril
I think it's. I think it's. Once you become predictable with your views, you become predictable with your punchlines as well.
Bert Kreischer
And I would argue exact same for the exact opposite. There was a guy. I don't know his name, and I don't want to try. I'm not trying to trash him at all, but, like, he did a choose your own adventure stand up special and where you could.
Mark Norman
Oh, I know this guy, Danny Jollis.
Sam Morril
He's excellent.
Mark Norman
He's a great, funny guy.
Bert Kreischer
But what's crazy about that special is it's brilliant joke writing.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
However, when you feel like he doesn't mean took the teeth out of it and it was just a joke. Okay. Like, it's almost like. It's almost weird when you like.
Sam Morril
But I like that. I like that he tried something different.
Bert Kreischer
I like. Oh, yeah. And I love that. That.
Sam Morril
I remember.
Bert Kreischer
That's why I watched a special.
Mark Norman
He's innovative.
Sam Morril
I think he's very funny. I think he's a great actor too. He's on the new. He's on the last season of the TV show Ted, which, if you haven't seen, is a great fucking show. It's on Peacock. It's hilarious.
Mark Norman
Joke a minute.
Bert Kreischer
It's.
Sam Morril
It's just like, bam, bam, bam.
Bert Kreischer
I don't like Sudeikis.
Mark Norman
Talk shit.
Sam Morril
Thinking of Ted Lasso.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, fuck that guy.
Sam Morril
I'm talking about. I'm talking about. Oh, you.
Bert Kreischer
I was doing a bit.
Mark Norman
He's gonna. You're gonna do it today because.
Sam Morril
Come on out here. Come on.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, I do. I do. Actually, you know what? Fuck Jason Sudeikis. You know, Hang on, hang on.
Sam Morril
Your wife.
Bert Kreischer
You know what? Do one thing and be done. I'm done with you being a great singer. A great musician. This is a great actor. It's the truth though. Yeah. It's like, yo, suck a dick. Like, I only can do comedy, I can't act. How do they dare act? A little. Go you pull up a fucking video of Jason Sudeikis. Have you ever seen him sing? No.
Mark Norman
No.
Bert Kreischer
Are you being fucking serious? No, dude, it's annoying.
Mark Norman
Internet's down. Fuck, it's down.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, cool.
Sam Morril
Sudeikis is talented for sure. That cash was crazy.
Bert Kreischer
Fucking field. You know what? Fuck all those guys. Can I tell you? It's like Jason Sudeikis, he can hoop too.
Sam Morril
He's like a really.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, it's annoying.
Sam Morril
He's got like a pretty sweet jump shot.
Mark Norman
Wow. He's good looking. He's got it all.
Bert Kreischer
And he's from Kansas City, middle of America. You and Paul Rudd, you and Jon Hamm, dude, they're all from Kansas City. So they get this like regular guy appeal, right? Like, I grew up a regular guy. I gotta hear me get slammed for having being a nepo baby, right? And then, and then I'm talented in everything I do. If I fucking wanna act, I'm amazing. Bon Bon. I bet they could do stand up. And then they do that fucking big Kansas City festival.
Sam Morril
I heard he can do standup.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, Come on. Yeah.
Sam Morril
I think he used to do some warm up stuff for snl and they were like killing time. And I've heard he's good.
Mark Norman
It's like, Donald Glover. Donald Glover can do everything. You're like, what are you doing?
Bert Kreischer
God damn it. Cool guy's too good at everything. Shut the up. Stop.
Mark Norman
He can rap, he can do stand up.
Sam Morril
I'll say. Like, Atlanta was awesome.
Bert Kreischer
Atlanta's great on YouTube. And I go, I missed out this Donald Glover, his rap video was so goddamn good.
Mark Norman
I know I can't do anything.
Bert Kreischer
These guys suck dick.
Mark Norman
You can.
Bert Kreischer
I'm so angry.
Mark Norman
You can take his shirt off with the best of them. With the hat coming off. It's very impressive.
Bert Kreischer
Don't remember, Mark. I used to be more famous than you.
Mark Norman
Doing very well, Mark.
Bert Kreischer
I mean, don't you. Don't you like, look at Donald Glover? He was an overmicrob with you guys.
Mark Norman
Yeah, I hung out with him. He's a great guy too. He's nice as hell. He's a hell of a drinker. Yeah, he did. I watched a 30 Rock episode randomly on a plane. And I was like, this is a funny episode. At the end it said, written by Donald Glover. I said, God damn it. What can't this black dog.
Bert Kreischer
I heard he. I heard he roofies girls with ayahuasca.
Mark Norman
Surprise.
Bert Kreischer
I don't know, just. But it's like. It's like. Okay, I get it.
Mark Norman
It's like, Mulaney, he's talented as hell.
Bert Kreischer
Done with Mulaney. Like, it's like, I go, he's such.
Sam Morril
A nice guy, too.
Mark Norman
Great guy.
Bert Kreischer
Good looking, sweet guy. Who announces your last name. Right? I mean, he's got it all. He. He had a.
Mark Norman
He had a failed sitcom. Okay, all right.
Sam Morril
That humbled him a little bit.
Mark Norman
I mean, I think it did not.
Sam Morril
Like, you know, I mean, like, it made him almost. It made him human is what I mean.
Mark Norman
Yeah, well, so did the cocaine.
Bert Kreischer
As we are, I would say, the three of us who just. Are just comic podcasters, right?
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Sam Morril
I would like to write. Well, we wrote a fucking movie too. You wrote a movie? I mean, I think. I think. But I'm definitely not a podcaster. I do a POD with Mark, but I'm not. I'm a. Yeah, I think we're just comics, dude.
Mark Norman
Yeah, I'm a comic all the time. All day.
Bert Kreischer
I'm a comic.
Mark Norman
We've been to fucking Omaha 100 times between the three of us. We are road.
Sam Morril
I would never. If someone was like, what do you do? I would never say, I'm a podcaster. Say I'm a comic.
Mark Norman
Of course.
Bert Kreischer
Okay. Can I say this casually? And by the way, I'm being way, way too weird.
Sam Morril
I love it.
Bert Kreischer
I'm a little buzzed.
Sam Morril
I love that. Did you drink at Keen's, too?
Bert Kreischer
I did.
Sam Morril
I love that you went to Keens for lunch. I love that. It means a lot when someone's like, where do I go to lunch? And I tell them where to go and they go there. It was great, because not everyone takes a wreck special. It means a lot when someone takes a wreck.
Bert Kreischer
Dude, it was Keen.
Sam Morril
Keens is. Oh, they got all the pipes there, everybody. Yeah, that's one of the iconic steakhouse spots.
Bert Kreischer
So is there a part of you as a comic that resents the Darlings?
Mark Norman
A couple plants out there.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I don't know what that means. Plants?
Sam Morril
Like home industry plants? Yeah, like. Like, they just, like, they were made by the industry, and it's.
Bert Kreischer
It's a real thing.
Sam Morril
I mean, to a degree, it is.
Mark Norman
Katt Williams listed 18 of them because.
Sam Morril
You know, we all kind of made our own careers on the Internet and stuff like that. So. Yeah, when you see people that, like, the industry just kind of is like, there's a party that's like, huh? But if they're really good, we don't resent them. If they're really good.
Mark Norman
Yeah, Plants.
Bert Kreischer
Like the old school, like Maxim. 10 comics to watch.
Mark Norman
All that shit. All that. They keep getting everything. How'd they get that and that?
Sam Morril
And then you see them again, you're like, they bombed another thing.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Sam Morril
What the fuck is this?
Mark Norman
But then you got a guy like Nate who just worked. It worked it worked. It funny. Wrote another hour. Wrote another hour, and now he's doing arenas.
Sam Morril
Well, you know, I'll put it this way. There's people who rise. Like, maybe they were chosen, but then they rose to the occasion, and they are undeniable. And how could you have a problem with that? They're funny. Like, as you said, luck is involved.
Bert Kreischer
Luck's involved. Luck's solely involved.
Sam Morril
We had luck. We all had a tremendous amount of luck.
Bert Kreischer
My luck. My luck with you. But we backed it up, is we met at Hartford. At Hartford.
Sam Morril
I had a great weekend with you.
Mark Norman
I remember that weekend.
Sam Morril
I remember watching a Knicks game with you at Hooters, and it meant a lot that you were, like, in the game with me. I. We were. It was right when The Knicks got J.R. smith, and I was really excited, and. And Bert and I were getting. Getting beers at lunch, and you gotta.
Mark Norman
Have that photo in your phone somewhere.
Sam Morril
I have it somewhere.
Mark Norman
You gotta put it up.
Sam Morril
We're shirtless and we're both bombed, and. Yeah, man. No, I had so much fun. I had heard you were awesome from Nikki, because Nikki dropped out of that weekend. That's how I got it.
Bert Kreischer
The luck is involved, is like. Portland, Oregon. Amy Schumer stops by my show, and I was opening. We go to a strip club, me and Amy. I'm just with Amy. I don't realize who's around me. We go back to my room, and I meet Mark Norman. Mark Norman was with Open Framey. And I go, I mean, think about luck. You want to talk about luck is like, how crazy is it? I met you guys when you guys were like, features, feature X. Yeah.
Mark Norman
But the key is you were really nice doing and do everything. Go everywhere, meet everybody, do every gig. That was the key. Because some people are so selective and weird. If you just get yourself out there, the luck is you have a better chance of something happening.
Sam Morril
Well, mental. I want a headline. It was, like, complimentary to you because I remember I was. You know, I was middling a lot, and Bert was like, you're gonna be a really young headliner. He was like, really encouraging to me. And that goes a long way when you're. But when your mom is telling you, like, what are you doing with your life? When your mom is, like, making a wrong decision with your life.
Bert Kreischer
Both you guys kind of blew me away. But both you guys also must be really candid.
Mark Norman
Start here.
Sam Morril
Okay.
Bert Kreischer
As Hasan Minaj introduced me, remembering his name is what I feel bad about. They keep it in. I don't give a fuck. A. I don't give a.
Mark Norman
You remember. You know what you're talking about.
Bert Kreischer
Hassan Minaj told me we were the Brady Roast. And he goes, you. You look uncomfortable in a tuxedo. And I said, I'm very uncomfortable. I perform shirtless. And he goes. And he looked at me and he, like, kind of does one of these. Like, he goes, this is my fastball. And I've. I've said that so many times. It's such a cheesy stating statement that I. I can't stop using. But you guys are my fastball. Like, guys at party. Guys that like to have a good time. Like, And. And. And great comics. Great comics. And so I met you guys both, and you guys are my fastballs. Like, I love this. My favorite. My favorite memories of touring for real out of anything. And I just did this on some podcasts. I don't remember what, but when I took Mark to Europe.
Mark Norman
Oh, we barely knew each other. I can't believe you took me to you. You didn't know me. I could have been a weirdo. You just said it. Let's go.
Bert Kreischer
And I. I mean, I was very excited about that.
Sam Morril
You came back at Shell.
Mark Norman
I was ruining me. We did every night, drinking hard.
Bert Kreischer
He saw my weakness.
Mark Norman
Well, you saw the flights.
Sam Morril
We almost did that joke show, me and Norman. That was when you saw me and Mark would, like, just bounce bits all day. And we almost did that joke show.
Mark Norman
That's right.
Sam Morril
Bert was gonna produce, but that fell apart. We don't need to go into.
Mark Norman
But you yakking in the. In the airport or almost yakking.
Bert Kreischer
Hold on.
Mark Norman
Dry heaving.
Bert Kreischer
Hang on. There's a moment, like, only friends share, right? Were you where you say, like. So I'll tell you. The one I have with Tommy is we got stem cells with Joe and. And I just had surgery on my elbow.
Sam Morril
Can you explain what that means to, like, the layman? Because I don't know what that means. Okay.
Mark Norman
I know sickle cell. Which. What Stem.
Sam Morril
I know what they are. And he mentioned it to me once when I was down there. He was like, we Got to get you some stem cells for your neck. And I was like, right on. I was like, I don't know what. I just.
Mark Norman
It's something good.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
It helps you, I think, But I don't know what it is exactly.
Sam Morril
Molly.
Mark Norman
Stem cells, Adrenochrome.
Bert Kreischer
I don't know. Anyway, Joe and Tommy organized stem cells, and they're like, yo, you're in. And I was like, yeah, I don't want to do it. I tell Tom, I don't want to do it. I'm out. And he goes, hey, stop. It's already paid for. I go, it's not money. I don't give a. I don't. I'm like, I don't know what it is. I don't know the we're doing. He's like, you're gonna be fine. So we go get stem cells, and Tom and I are driving back to. To do a podcast. And we're in Tom's car, which is a Porsche. We're very close to each other, and I reach back, and I feel my elbow, and I feel a lump where the stem cells went in. It's like a swelling, and I feel it, and I kind of start having a panic attack. And Tommy very gently puts his hand behind my arm, and he rubs the stem cells. He goes, you're okay. And I went, that's how he knows me, right?
Mark Norman
That's a friend.
Bert Kreischer
Mark Norman and I were in a bar in London at the airport. Was it London?
Mark Norman
It might have been Copenhagen.
Bert Kreischer
I've been Copenhagen. At the airport. He know. He's now learned I don't like flying.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And we're with a fan who won't stop talking, and I. I'm ordering us beers at an aggressive pace, and Mark's got, like, three backed up, and I'm on mine. And then Marcos were boarding, and I kill my beer. I remember this so vividly. I kill my beer, and I start to throw up in my mouth. I started like. Like, I start to. I've had too much. I'm like.
Mark Norman
And he's a public figure. This is not a good look.
Bert Kreischer
Mark Norman looks at me like this, and he goes, like. In his eyes, he's like, oh, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. And I swallowed. I didn't.
Mark Norman
Kept it in.
Bert Kreischer
I didn't throw up. I didn't throw up. I wasn't throwing up in my mouth, but I didn't throw up. And I went, do you have a toothpick? I'll get you one?
Mark Norman
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
You got me a toothpick. And he goes, we're good. I was like, let's go. And we walked away. But those little moments that you have with a friend where. Where you show your vulnerability 100%. I remember that so vividly.
Sam Morril
We, Mark and I, obviously, we go back, like, a ways, but I remember. Remember Orlando Airport?
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
We opened for Schumer at some big university. Yeah, we got fucking wasted. Mark and I, we were just bombed. We were like liabilities on that tour, but we would just be getting bombed.
Mark Norman
And the next morning, 7am flight.
Sam Morril
The next morning, I'm just puking my guts out in the Orlando airport, which is one of the worst airports already.
Mark Norman
And Mark just kids around with Mickey Mouse hats.
Sam Morril
And Mark. I look up, and Mark reaches over the stall, and it's a ginger ale. And I was like, that's my guy.
Mark Norman
Well, I understand drunks. You know, I grew up in New Orleans. I started drinking at 13. Scene. I get it. And so there's no judgment.
Sam Morril
And we've seen each other bombed so many times.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
But it was just like. I was like, ah, that's a good friend right there. He just saw me puking my guts, and it was fine. Like, you know. Yeah, we've flown like that before. Like, when you're a young comic and you're puking, it's better than puking in a Greyhound. Like, which I've done many times. I puked in those bathrooms, too. Moving, shaking. You're holding on the side.
Bert Kreischer
Throwing up. Throwing up is crazy. I was a grand marshal for Gasparilla.
Mark Norman
Like, oh, really?
Sam Morril
Are you gonna say the Ku Klux Klan? That's way better.
Mark Norman
That's Grand Wizard. I did that one three sheets to the wind. You know what I mean?
Bert Kreischer
And I. And I. I got. I know I'm gonna be made fun of for this. I got what they call gunpowder poisoning.
Mark Norman
What? What's that?
Bert Kreischer
I. It's. I don't. Your Internet's down. Don't Google it. The. I was on a boat where they were shooting a lot of guns, and then I got covered in gunpowder. There's a thing called gunpowder poisoning where you are allergic to gunpowder, and if you get covered in it like I was, you get sick. And I started throwing up on the parade route. Oh. And no one, thank God, got a video.
Mark Norman
Thank. How did that happen?
Bert Kreischer
Dude, it was. It was. I was, like, overheated. It was so hot. I was in a pirate costume covered in gunpowder. I was drinking. It was such a fucking nightmare. If. If. I'll tell you what, at this point, there's two things I'd like to see. One was me throwing up in Spokane, Washington. I threw up outside of my tour bus. Like aggressively in underwear if anyone's got that.
Sam Morril
Yeah, but you blend into that city, everyone's a mess. Walking around on drugs.
Mark Norman
Spokane is rough.
Sam Morril
Everyone's walking around like a zombie in that city.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, my God, dude.
Sam Morril
Great crowds though. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
The stage fell. The stage fell.
Sam Morril
Oh, shit.
Bert Kreischer
And so they canceled the show. So I was like, yo, day drinking. Let's go.
Mark Norman
There it is.
Bert Kreischer
And Manzi was with us back in the day.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And we would just went hard as fuck all day. Ended the night. I ended the night at a steakhouse. Martinis, two bottles of wine, and the last two drinks I had were Irish car bombs.
Mark Norman
Damn.
Sam Morril
That's fucking vicious.
Mark Norman
That's gross.
Sam Morril
Is there anything more fun than just like martinis at a steakhouse? It's just like the best. It's the embodiment of fun.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Sam Morril
Like, we're gonna get fucked up.
Mark Norman
You feel like an American.
Sam Morril
Yeah. You feel like you're on Mad Men.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Sam Morril
Roger Sterling would be drinking.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Going to a podcast. I'm going. I'm going to dinner with Tom tonight at 7.
Sam Morril
Where are you guys going?
Bert Kreischer
Where are we going?
Sam Morril
Oh, dude, that's a great spot. You can drink Bodega Cat there.
Mark Norman
Dude, they got a picture on the wall there.
Sam Morril
Are you going to East Village or Times Square?
Mark Norman
Go to the Village. One. Way better.
Sam Morril
Way better, dude. Our boy Brandon. That's it, dude. Okay, so you're double staking. Got to get the Tomahawk. Yes, the Tomahawks phenomenal there.
Mark Norman
The Lobster Mac.
Bert Kreischer
Fucking Ozempic. Tommy only orders like seltzer water.
Mark Norman
Ah.
Bert Kreischer
I was like, buddy, we got to get fucking lit. He's like, I'm doing Madison Square Garden.
Mark Norman
Oh, is it? Shit. I even know that.
Sam Morril
Well, dude, I will say Strip house is like. Like one of my favorite spots.
Mark Norman
It's a great spot.
Sam Morril
We went there for his birthday. We. I love that. Place is like.
Mark Norman
It's legendary. They got the Bodega cat behind the bar.
Sam Morril
I got a Dangerfield headshot up. It's iconic. It's been there. It's been there forever.
Mark Norman
Red leather seats.
Bert Kreischer
I think we should probably. I just think that it was fitting.
Sam Morril
He just shoots us in the head.
Bert Kreischer
Put Tommy on your.
Mark Norman
Oh, his career dead. Is that the problem? This is the dead wall.
Bert Kreischer
Put him on the dead wall. Don't say anything to him. Comes in this week. Don't say anything.
Sam Morril
Is he coming on a pot?
Mark Norman
That Ozempic's gonna kill him. Yeah, he's gonna OD on that.
Bert Kreischer
This is a fatter Tommy than the one I. Than a one I know now. I. I liked. I liked fat.
Mark Norman
Fat Tom.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, man.
Mark Norman
With the black shirt with the bad hair. Oh, man, that was good times. He just. He looked like a wing eating contest winner, you know, he was.
Bert Kreischer
He. I'm not even around. He traveled with hot sauce.
Mark Norman
Get out of here.
Bert Kreischer
I swear to God, he's like Hillary Clinton. Yeah. He had hot sauce always in his car at all times. Wow, that is a good one. And he'd put it on whatever he had.
Mark Norman
That's a fat guy move.
Bert Kreischer
I watched fgm. It was. It was a weird feeling.
Mark Norman
He really. He really watch each other, right?
Sam Morril
I mean.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no. He got raised Friday. Did way before I did. Way before I did.
Mark Norman
The pores feel like he left them.
Bert Kreischer
No, God damn it. Like that. The most annoying thing I've ever heard in my life is like, yo, he was poor.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
But he busted his ass. And he's doing crazy great stuff.
Sam Morril
And he's a great dude, and he's.
Bert Kreischer
And he's a great dude. And he's great doing great content, great comments. His specials are awesome. Listen, he has changed. Yes. I'm gonna tell you something secret. He didn't like who he was.
Mark Norman
Sure.
Bert Kreischer
He didn't like. He didn't love being fat as fucking shit. Dude, if you pull up me shaving his tits, he is.
Mark Norman
Whoa.
Bert Kreischer
So fat. It is aggressive. No one wants to be that guy.
Sam Morril
Yeah. I mean, a joke we love.
Bert Kreischer
I love. It's so funny. But, like, yeah, he got rich. I remember. I remember the statement he said to me when I knew money had changed. And he was like. He's like, yo, dude, I had the wildest fucking conversation with Christina last night. I said, what's that? And he goes, you know, we have, like, only have a couple chargers, so we plug them into the wall, but they're across the room. So we have to plug the charger in and then plug our phone in, then put our phone on top of the charger to charge it at night. And then Christina said, yo, we have money. We can have chargers by our bed.
Mark Norman
Damn.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, he's changed.
Sam Morril
That is a status move, though, to have, like, to not have multiple. Not have to pull the charger out and move it over. Yeah, you just have it in another outlet. That is a power.
Bert Kreischer
And. And I went, whoa. And I thought to Myself, I'm not there yet. It wasn't like. It wasn't watches, it wasn't cars.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
That moment. Moment. And I went. We went to that house.
Sam Morril
For me, it was sandwich punch cards. I stopped paying as much attention to those.
Mark Norman
I still got mine.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. You ready? You ready for me?
Sam Morril
I have a bagel punch card, but I don't have the sandwich punch card.
Mark Norman
You gotta stay with the tribe.
Sam Morril
I have the bagel one.
Mark Norman
Yeah, I have the. For me, it was the hotel breakfast. Because I would get up every day on the road, get the breakfast. It was free breakfast.
Sam Morril
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Norman
You go out all night, but you're like, I still gotta get the breakfast.
Sam Morril
Western. Yes, they had a good breakfast.
Mark Norman
Waffle maker. Get out of here.
Sam Morril
A lobby waffle.
Bert Kreischer
The fuck?
Sam Morril
I love with a lobby waffle.
Mark Norman
I still do the breakfast every now and then, but I have, like, openers. Like, what are you doing? Let's just go to a diner.
Sam Morril
You know, the best thing is you book hotels with that Amex Travel shoot. You get the free breakfast at those places.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Sam Morril
Of that shit.
Mark Norman
And the lounge.
Bert Kreischer
Mine was airline miles.
Sam Morril
You dude.
Mark Norman
Stop caring.
Sam Morril
You know it's funny.
Mark Norman
No, no, I love.
Sam Morril
No, but Bert, like.
Bert Kreischer
And that's when you know you're rich.
Sam Morril
But Bert was telling us when we started to really headline, Bert would be the one who'd be like, you're going to start to really care. You're going to be obsessed with your ticket count. Ye going to be obsessed with airline points.
Mark Norman
That's true.
Sam Morril
Everything Bert said to us was a reality. We were like, oh, I need airline points. I need this.
Bert Kreischer
You know, I was obsessed with American Airlines. Like, I was.
Mark Norman
That's the one you picked.
Bert Kreischer
Because the worst airline out of la, it's good out of la.
Mark Norman
Is that right?
Bert Kreischer
Dallas is a big hub. I was doing a lot of Texas dates and Dallas was a quick jump. So, like. And I, I. It wasn't United, it wasn't Continental. Disappear. Wasn't Delta. She had to fly to Atlanta. So it was American. I was obsessed with American. I was obsessed.
Mark Norman
The lounge isn't great.
Bert Kreischer
What?
Mark Norman
The lounge isn't even that great.
Bert Kreischer
Lounge is amazing.
Sam Morril
I would say. I would say America and American at best is third, maybe third or fourth.
Mark Norman
Delta, United, American.
Bert Kreischer
No, I want American. I want you to hear. I was about to trash you. And now I'm your ride or die.
Mark Norman
All right? Bring it on. Because I could do that.
Sam Morril
Delta, United, and JetBlue are undeniably better airlines.
Mark Norman
JetBlue, they have no lounge.
Sam Morril
All right, fine. Take JetBlue out.
Bert Kreischer
No lounge. You fly mint. You either get the choice of flying next to a man in first class or by yourself. And you don't get to pick. That. That's okay.
Sam Morril
It's fine. So Delta and United.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna shit on Delta.
Sam Morril
Okay.
Bert Kreischer
Delta. Oh, please. The IKEA of flying. They've made every chair ergonomic and not comfortable, by the way.
Sam Morril
Ergonomics a good thing.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no, no, no, no. Goddamn couch here. Like, it's like. This is Delta first class.
Sam Morril
Yeah, but.
Mark Norman
Yeah, but you know what?
Sam Morril
But this couch here keeps you engaged. For a pod, it's pretty good.
Bert Kreischer
It's a church view, but for a fucking six hour flight to Atlanta.
Sam Morril
I'll give you that.
Bert Kreischer
So American is number one now.
Mark Norman
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
Also has a thing called. And I know that I'm in trouble for saying this. American. A thing called concierge key. You familiar with that?
Sam Morril
No.
Mark Norman
No. So what was the 911 flight?
Bert Kreischer
United. United. Keep going.
Mark Norman
Oh, I didn't know that.
Bert Kreischer
Don't bring that up.
Mark Norman
Well, I didn't have to. See what.
Sam Morril
The seats were nice. That's not their fault.
Mark Norman
That's true. All right. I'm just curious.
Sam Morril
There's not a lot you could do in that.
Mark Norman
Trying to take American down. All right, Keep going. Keep your. Your, Your plea.
Sam Morril
You know, you know, the terrorists are like, which one should we pick?
Mark Norman
Exactly.
Bert Kreischer
That is the funniest thing I've ever heard.
Mark Norman
Trying to win the argument.
Bert Kreischer
I'm having a moment. I'm having a real moment. What was the 911 flight? And he goes, yeah, but the seats were nice. That was the funniest thing I've ever.
Sam Morril
That went out in style.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, yeah, the seat. The seats were nice.
Sam Morril
You know what sucks about that?
Bert Kreischer
Yes, Were nice.
Sam Morril
You know what sucks about you? You booked the first, last ticket on that flight. And they're just like, oh, the chicken. And you're expecting a good flight, right?
Mark Norman
Right. You got a couple drinks in you. Then it's like, oh, I should have.
Sam Morril
The pork and the you to them.
Bert Kreischer
So American has a thing called concierge.
Sam Morril
The terrorists come up. Make it a double.
Mark Norman
Yeah, right.
Bert Kreischer
Is an invitation only.
Sam Morril
Two towers.
Mark Norman
That's a double. I can't. I'm hammered.
Bert Kreischer
There's too many jokes come out. This is too joke heavy.
Mark Norman
Well, the Pentagons, that's the rule of threes.
Bert Kreischer
Five drinks is our living it.
Mark Norman
All right, two more.
Bert Kreischer
American Airlines.
Mark Norman
Okay, pitch your case here.
Bert Kreischer
No, American Airlines has coner Key. Invitation only.
Mark Norman
What is that?
Bert Kreischer
Invitation only. And you get a separate entrance into the airport. Wow. You get a.
Sam Morril
How do you get invited? Do you have to be a big dog?
Mark Norman
You got to.
Bert Kreischer
You got to fly a lot.
Mark Norman
Pip it on a podcast.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no. Actually, this one.
Sam Morril
Mark? Yeah, please. Yeah, let's do it.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, yeah, I'll take one, too. You gotta. You gotta be invited. And this will get me uninvited. So I'm a conscious key currently. And they will now rescind my invitation because I'm talking about it. But I don't really give a. So I don't.
Sam Morril
Is it like Raya, but for the sky?
Mark Norman
Yeah, sky.
Sam Morril
Sky.
Mark Norman
But you do private now.
Bert Kreischer
I thought I've done private, but I don't do private.
Mark Norman
Oh, really?
Bert Kreischer
I have a fear of flying.
Sam Morril
So, like, how bad are you? Do you drug yourself on every flight?
Mark Norman
Ari jumps in. But I thought you were doing private for LA to Austin. LA to Austin? Because you're, like, the last guy in la. You and Santino and Bobby and Tim.
Bert Kreischer
No, I'm never gonna lie and manipulate my fans and tell them I'm something I'm not. So, like, I'll tell you, if I fly private, it. I FL private a lot, but I. I don't. I don't enjoy it because it's. They're smaller planes, the ones you afford. Pete will tell you right now. And you know Pete very well.
Mark Norman
I. I. Pete should be drinking as well. This isn't fair.
Bert Kreischer
Can we get Peter drink, please? I.
Mark Norman
All right.
Bert Kreischer
I. The smaller planes give me horrific anxiety, and I'm a mess. Peter.
Mark Norman
Yeah?
Bert Kreischer
How many times have you seen me cry on a plane? You cry, buddy.
Sam Morril
That's horrible.
Bert Kreischer
Every private flight I have, I cry. I cry on private.
Sam Morril
It's insane to get to the level. You fly private and you don't even enjoy it.
Bert Kreischer
I hate it.
Mark Norman
Yeah, well, they're shaking.
Bert Kreischer
I don't fly private. I don't fly private because I want to.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I fly private, so I have to. Like, it's. It's like, yo, we got a thing we have to do. We have to get you there. And I'm like, okay, but I don't want to fly private. And they're like. And then I. I'm also kind of cheap, so, like, if they go, well, we have one for $15,000 or one for $35,000. I go, do 15, and I'll just cry and drink. It sucks, man. It sucks.
Sam Morril
This one's flown by Hezbollah Air, the.
Bert Kreischer
Flight we're having Tomorrow is American Airlines, right? 760 Delta. Is it Delta.
Mark Norman
Delta. Oh, you've been on them ergonomic.
Bert Kreischer
I'd rather bigger planes. Plane and a more steady flight.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And so. Yeah. But I, I, I, I, I find it.
Sam Morril
No, I'm with you. I like a big plane too. It doesn't make total sense because, like, but like, bigger, you just feel way safer. The shaking is brutal.
Bert Kreischer
Dude, have you ever flown private out of Las Vegas?
Sam Morril
I have. No, I haven't. I've flown five. It very rarely. It's been on other people's dime, obviously.
Mark Norman
But I did it with Louie once and he flipped. It's weird to see Louie, like, your hero was like, oh, God.
Bert Kreischer
Oh.
Mark Norman
Because it was like, like through dipping like this.
Bert Kreischer
It sucks. It suck. I mean, I know that everyone thinks it's a flex if you post your flying private, right? I, first of all, if I post while I'm flying private, I'm just doing. Cuz I'm not. I'm a regular person. And that's what regular people do if they fly private, sure. This thing I've ever done. Right. But also, it sucks so bad. I hate it. I hate it. I would much rather fly a 767, 787 or 777 and be comfortable as.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Big sleeper bed with tons of people. Tons of souls on the plane.
Mark Norman
Souls, they call them. I like that. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm, I'm with you. It is something nice about just being taken care of. You get in that first class, they throw a blanket on you.
Sam Morril
Oh, you switched up on me. Look at you.
Mark Norman
I've had too much drape fruit. My liver's hurting, but yeah, okay, let's try to make you feel better.
Bert Kreischer
A little weird.
Sam Morril
Oh, no, your liver's up.
Bert Kreischer
No, I'm kidding.
Mark Norman
Your liver's like this. We're right at home.
Bert Kreischer
Got blood work. I got blood work.
Sam Morril
And your liver must be ripped.
Bert Kreischer
Your liver, your liver's like. We got the same liver.
Mark Norman
I love when people are like.
Bert Kreischer
I'll tell you right now, go to. Go to ways to. Well, who ways to.
Mark Norman
Well, what's that now? Weighs too well.
Bert Kreischer
I get my blood work every six months.
Sam Morril
You're good.
Bert Kreischer
My shit's clean.
Mark Norman
Come on, Pete.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, last one. Denise said my liver's never been healthier.
Mark Norman
Is it the exercising, the water, the pills?
Bert Kreischer
So the way LeBron looks at his body, I look at my body, right?
Sam Morril
I've always said, you guys have the same.
Mark Norman
What the hell?
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, LeBron.
Sam Morril
LeBron has five drinks on a podcast.
Bert Kreischer
By the way, that's my favorite Sam laugh I've ever. I do all the he does, but I do it for my liver. So I get. I get two IVs a week.
Sam Morril
Look at him.
Mark Norman
I don't know if this is the best podcast ever recorded or I'm hammered, but this is amazing. We've gone past Drunk Burn.
Sam Morril
Comparing his health to LeBron James is the best moment we've had. The way LeBron looks at his body. The greatest athletes ever live.
Mark Norman
Your liver's the color of LeBron, I'll give you that. But I don't know about. We're doing the same health, same liver. Liver, please.
Bert Kreischer
Can we do a Patreon called We Might Be Hammered?
Sam Morril
Holy shit, that's so funny.
Mark Norman
Oh, boy.
Bert Kreischer
I wish. I wish I wasn't a joke. Like, me.
Mark Norman
No.
Bert Kreischer
When I was a kid, I realized the funniest I was when it was. I wasn't trying to be funny. And that's. That's the purest comic you get, is, like, when you're not trying to be funny and people laugh and you're like, I don't know why they're laughing, right? And I swear to God.
Sam Morril
Because you can't turn it off, because you go.
Bert Kreischer
I go. I dated a chick one time, Erica Youngblood, who was so funny, and she never was trying to be funny, and she couldn't understand why I was laughing. And I was like, she's so enjoyable. And I was like. But the truth is, I really honestly saw that LeBron shit where he gets in the thing, and I was like. I literally. I wish I didn't say. I was like, like, that's me. I'm gonna start doing all this.
Sam Morril
You work out like crazy, though.
Mark Norman
Yeah, you can.
Bert Kreischer
Your.
Mark Norman
Your arms are huge.
Bert Kreischer
I have a personal trainer shows up.
Sam Morril

Bert Kreischer
I've had two of his personal trainers. Two of them? Yeah, two of them.
Mark Norman
Oh, boy.
Bert Kreischer
The one I have now is gangster. And I know those were awesome personal trainers.
Mark Norman
The black guy on the tour.
Bert Kreischer
No, you had him.
Sam Morril
Yeah, I had him, too.
Bert Kreischer
I met him. I had another one from Boston.
Sam Morril

Bert Kreischer
I've had a bunch of. Navy SEAL guy.
Sam Morril
He was awesome.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. And, dude, we're doing, like.

We're, like, working out by day. It was incredible.
Bert Kreischer
But I. I sauna, cold plunge. I get IVs twice a week. I'm. I'm doing the whole regimen. I meant ways to. Well, and I shout out to Brigham and Denise over at Ways to. Well, this. Rogan's people. The people you guys.
Mark Norman
Oh, Denise.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. Yeah. She's hot and she is amazing. But, like, they. Denise and I had a meeting, you know, a couple months ago. She was like, you've had the best numbers you've ever had. And I honestly, I gotta be honest with you. There's. You can get in front of the shit that's gonna be bad. Like, you. I'm on testosterone. I'm on metformin. I got blood pressure medicine. I got cholesterol medicine. I got freaking. Not hazelnut, but, like, some, like, you're.
Sam Morril
Throwing out words now so much.
Bert Kreischer
But I take it every morning. I take it every night.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And at my bachelor party.
Mark Norman
That was a lot of pills on your nightstand.
Bert Kreischer
Yes. Yes. I'm so.
Mark Norman
You're. You're on it. You're ahead of it.
Bert Kreischer
Dude, I. I love. Ari and I were talking about your bachelor party last night.
Mark Norman
Oh, that was a wild time.
Sam Morril
Bummed I missed that shit.
Mark Norman
That was a great house. Well, except for the big fight, but other than that, that was a hell of a time. The.
Sam Morril
You guys are good.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I hate that it goes out there that people. Yeah. I don't like Joe now.
Sam Morril
You love him. You love.
Bert Kreischer
I just hung out with him. Yeah. Like, it bums me out that, like, fans would polarize. I don't.
Mark Norman
That's what they do. That's what they do. They like it. They like the shit. They like the drama. It makes their lives feel important or interesting. I don't know. I'm drug.
Bert Kreischer
Easy.
Mark Norman
It's crazy serious.
Bert Kreischer
Is that a real thing?
Mark Norman
Well, that's what the Internet is. It's just like, oh, let's get something goingssip and outrage. Yeah.
Sam Morril
I mean, look at Twitter. It's all just fucking like, what the fuck? It's not like, funny doesn't work anymore. Funny is.
Mark Norman
It's not enough.
Sam Morril
Remember when Twitter was, like, all, like, puns and, like, dick jokes and then it just became like, look at this, right?
Mark Norman
You know what the two biggest specials were last year on Netflix? Chris Rock was one, because they want to hear about the slap.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Mark Norman
Two is Mulaney, because they want to hear about the rehab.
Sam Morril
So, like you said, also two of the biggest comments.
Mark Norman
Well, sure, sure.
Bert Kreischer
There are two.
Mark Norman
They're two.
Bert Kreischer
They're two. Great.
Mark Norman
They're two great comments. But now you got to have that extra thing. Now it's not just about the funniest. It's about, like, oh, what's the scandal that's part of comedy now, which is.
Bert Kreischer
Kind of a bummer. I'm curious to think, as to legit best joke writers in New York. Do you see that? And you go, like, what am I going to do different?
Mark Norman
Nah, I don't want to feed into it. I'd rather just. Just keep being funny.
Sam Morril
I don't, I don't put any thought into it other than is this a joke that's working or not?
Mark Norman
Same because it's kind of short money. Because the slap will go away, the rehab will go away. It's just about comedy happens.
Sam Morril
It falls in your lap and it just happens. But, like, I think, I think with jokes, you just. What do I know? But, like, I think it's just like, you just gotta write jokes and hope they fucking land. I don't know.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
How do you guys structure an hour? Like, I'm curious. I know. I know how I do it. But I'm such a story guy that, like, I have to do a certain way. And this special, I thought to myself, I want to be super joke heavy for the first four minutes.
Mark Norman
That was dense. I watched it. It is dense. You're getting a laugh every 12 seconds.
Bert Kreischer
That's because of you guys. Because I go like, it's not my strong suit. It's not. Not what I do well, at least. And so I was like, so let's go. I want to be like four minutes in and be like, don't turn it off. Right, that's. That's the move. I'm getting into the weeds here. But like, I looked at Netflix specials is very different as stand up is. Like. And when I started doing stand up after Netflix specials, I was like, oh, it's always about a Netflix special. So like, I always go very front loaded. Closers at 22 minutes.
Mark Norman
Ah.
Bert Kreischer
I always do closure at 22 minutes.
Mark Norman
So how do you hang them on for the last 30?
Bert Kreischer
Doesn't matter.
Mark Norman
Interesting.
Bert Kreischer
The 32 minutes. At 22 minutes, if they've heard your closer, they're going to stick around. And I'm telling you right now the last story. And I'm not. I'm just saying the last story I have, my rate of retention is through the roof through Netflix. It's. It's through the roof, but it's.
Sam Morril
I think it's because you think you, because you, you pull them in early.
Bert Kreischer
My clothes, whatever closer I have, which I think is like oven mitts, maybe is. Is I throw it at 22 minutes because I go, yo, if you're about to turn me off Don't.
Mark Norman
Damn. No one's thinking like that. That's very interesting.
Bert Kreischer
I've been thinking like that.
Sam Morril
Yeah. I mean, shit, I don't know, man. Like, that's interesting because the retention rate, I guess, is shit. But right now I just kind of do it the way I do it on the road, which is. Is not that way. My closer is my closer.
Bert Kreischer
But yeah, same, I would argue. I tell you, I know that. One of my best. It's my two favorite specials I've ever seen.
Sam Morril
What are they?
Bert Kreischer
And I. And I. I. One of them is. Is. I guess it's a. It's a side compliment, a little favorite spot.
Mark Norman
I'd probably go Corky and Forrest Gump. All right. Sorry, I'm drunk.
Sam Morril
I want to be a favorite specialist people.
Bert Kreischer
Anthony Johnson is my best favorite opening joke I've ever seen in my entire life.
Mark Norman
Which one? Which special? I mean, not the last one.
Bert Kreischer
No, not the last one before that.
Mark Norman
Oh, my friend. Fire ward in the children's unit or something.
Bert Kreischer
My friend said to me, my wife won't let us hang out anymore.
Mark Norman
Oh, that's a great joke.
Bert Kreischer
One of the best jokes ever written.
Sam Morril
How does it go again?
Mark Norman
The Internet's back. Thank God.
Sam Morril
This for you.
Mark Norman
Wow. That was 38 minutes ago.
Sam Morril
Jesus Christ.
Mark Norman
Hold on. Give me a Jez. A list of specials.
Bert Kreischer
Give me the Jezelic joke. It's such a good joke. It's such a good joke. He's.
Sam Morril
He's as great as far as the right turn goes. I don't know if there's anyone better. I mean, he's like, really just.
Mark Norman
He's the Mr.
Bert Kreischer
Joke. I mean. Hang on, I got it.
Sam Morril
He's excellent.
Mark Norman
My best friend's wife is this born.
Bert Kreischer
Again Christian, and we do not get along at all. The other day she called me up to yell at me, saying I'm a terrible influence on her husband because he.
Mark Norman
Called her a bad name.
Bert Kreischer
I said, what did he call you? A bitch? Do you know, Anthony? He did not use the B word. I said, uh, oh.
Mark Norman
Uh, oh, that's funny.
Bert Kreischer
Did he call you a cunt? She said, no.
Mark Norman
I said, well, then he didn't hear it from me.
Sam Morril
You know what's great about it is it's like almost like a street joke that he wrote.
Mark Norman
Yeah, good point.
Sam Morril
It's like an old school, like, like, joke book joke that he modernized and made his own.
Mark Norman
His own. And it's dark.
Bert Kreischer
It's one of my favorite jokes. And by the way, and. And so.
Mark Norman
So I still laughed. I've heard it Still. What's the name of that special? Sorry. Just to give it a shout out.
Sam Morril
Fire in the Maternity War.
Mark Norman
That's it. Thank you.
Sam Morril
Yeah, he's. He is a. He is a great joke writer.
Mark Norman
Like, he is.
Bert Kreischer
I did. I did the. I did secret talk time. And. And. And I put my closure at 22 minutes. And then they were like, yo, can we do you. They brought me in. They were like, yo, you're right. Of retention.
Mark Norman
Oh, man.
Bert Kreischer
And I was like. And they're like, what did you do different? And I told him I put my closure.
Mark Norman
Oh, I saw. A mile away.
Bert Kreischer
Damn it.

Bert Kreischer
I'm in life. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark Norman
Oh, geez. Well, we were. We did like a half hour on you, by the way.
Ari Shafir
Oh, really?
Mark Norman
It wasn't good.
Bert Kreischer
You know. You know, you have to realize at this point, the speaker. People just speak with you about honesty.
Ari Shafir
People speak with me about honesty. Like, I gotta catch up to understand this.
Mark Norman
What happened last night, by the way? You guys hung out, got some hookers.
Ari Shafir
It was pretty sweet. Shared one spit roast. We all took turns.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, dude, I thought I was getting last night.
Mark Norman
Oh, by then, some chick Costa Rican.
Bert Kreischer
In my room, and I had to, like, shut her down and be like, yo, this isn't happening.
Mark Norman
Yeah, good show.
Ari Shafir
Not happening.
Bert Kreischer
She was trying to help a Drunk guy get to his room.
Ari Shafir
She's like, you're out of it.
Bert Kreischer
She was like, hey, you don't know what room you're in. You don't have a key. You don't know where you are. I'm going to get you to bed. And I was like. I was like. I called Leanne and was like, looks like someone's still getting jocked. And then I realized, oh, she's.
Ari Shafir
I walked Bert hob yesterday. He got to the hotel and he's like, damn, this looks like exactly like my hotel. And then he's like, oh, it's is my hotel.
Mark Norman
Where were you guys?
Ari Shafir
We just bond. Went to get cigars.
Mark Norman
Oh, hell yeah.
Ari Shafir
Bert's superpower and biggest problem is that he does not slur. So you can't tell how tuned up he is. Maybe it's.
Bert Kreischer
I'll tell you right now. People go, I always go, leanne will tell me if I have a drinking problem. But no one can tell know.
Ari Shafir
No one can tell. You never know when you're tuned up.
Mark Norman
I've seen you legless.
Bert Kreischer
No.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah, you remember.
Bert Kreischer
Hey, can you explain to Ari the time we went into that strip club?
Mark Norman
Oh, Waterloo. That was the hardest I've ever laughed. We were on the floor.
Ari Shafir
It was so great.
Mark Norman
You can never repeat it. It doesn't. Doesn't read with people.
Bert Kreischer
It doesn't make as much sense.
Mark Norman
I hear that song by abba. Great song. I hear that song. I think of that night every time. Where were we were in like, like Sweden. Stockholm. We went to some strip club and the lady was trying to be coy and she was like, yes, we cannot have you in here unless we know you. What was that it? Something like that.
Bert Kreischer
She goes, gentlemen, we were bombed. Our girl for a little bit more commitment. What she was mark. And Mark is reading like her real English. And he goes, so hang on, do we have to date them?
Ari Shafir
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
She goes, no, no, no, no. You know what I mean. We take you downstairs for a little bit more of a commitment. And Mark's like, so we got to catch up on Game of Thrones so hard. And then. And then we left and we laughed for the whole.
Mark Norman
Kept tagging the bit.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark Norman
Basically she was saying, we're hookers. This isn't a strip club. Like, it's a broth brothel.
Ari Shafir
Nice.
Mark Norman
You gotta like us and hang out a while. I don't know, wherever the we were somewhere.
Bert Kreischer
I took it out of a special one time. I. I never put in a special. But like the best part Is. Then Mark and I went to a strip club, and we roll in and Leanne, Texas walking in. Leanne goes, what are you doing? I'm going to strip club with Mark.
Mark Norman
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
And she goes, cool. And then we sit down and Mark goes, hey, you tell her. And I go, yeah, of course. My wife. Wife. We sat down and Leanne goes, she just raced back.
Sam Morril
Cool. That's it.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. She goes, are you cool? Are you getting a lap dance? And we weren't at the time. Mark sees it, he goes, hey, what do you say to that? Because Mark's. I think you just started dating May.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And he was like, what do you say to that? And I was like, well, it's my wife. I'm honest with her. I said, no, I'm not getting lap days right now. Right now. And then it. Bubbles come up and Mark grabs the phone and I go, what does it say, Marcos? Hey, she called you a.
Mark Norman
I remember that strip club. That was a fun time. Yeah. I don't know, where were we? Reykjavik or Sweden or Copenhagen. We were somewhere.
Sam Morril
Those skins and aviation, it's all a blur.
Bert Kreischer
Mark Norman.
Ari Shafir
Gosh.
Bert Kreischer
That guy was so fun. I remember you eating that velvet it cupcake, and you go, hey, I think there's weed in it.
Mark Norman
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
And I was like, there's a lot of weed in it.
Mark Norman
Yeah. Geez, you remember more than I do. That was a blur.
Bert Kreischer
You made me laugh.
Mark Norman
I think we had a great time.
Bert Kreischer
We started hanging out.
Mark Norman
Yeah. Yeah. I barely knew you, and we really bonded. I mean, the flight.
Ari Shafir
I remember that you were worried about it, like, what do I do with Bird? I'm like, I don't throw every other drink into a plant.
Mark Norman
Yes. That's good advice. And I wish I did that, but you always give good advice. I did my first Rogan, and back when it was on YouTube, when it was like a career maker. And I. I was like, I got this. I got that. What should I say? And you go, you're already overthinking it. Just go in and have fun.
Ari Shafir
Oh, yeah.
Mark Norman
And that was great advice.
Bert Kreischer
You rolled in drunk with a tie on.
Mark Norman
Yes, I did.
Bert Kreischer
You texted me too.
Mark Norman
I did the Tonight show the night before. Got hammered all night with, I don't know you. Somebody did an hour of sleep, got on a flight, flew to LA and did rogue and hungover with the tie. I had a couple pops at the. The airport.
Sam Morril
That's the way to do anything. You get off a flight you got. You kill a hangover with some booze and you're Like, I'm not thinking, yes, I'm the most. I'll ever be.
Bert Kreischer
I'm the most genuine human being.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
That's why I never understand why people don't love a drunk guy accosting them. I go, yo, I'm.
Mark Norman
Go on.
Bert Kreischer
By the way, I've had my two favorite sandwiches, Laughs I've ever had in my entire life.
Mark Norman
He's a good laugh.
Bert Kreischer
You are the most genuine laugh in the world.
Mark Norman
When you drink, you're a fun guy. When you're sober, it can be tough. When he's drunk, it's a hell of a time.
Sam Morril
It's just a great sentence. It's like, you don't like a drunk guy accosting you right now. What's wrong with you?
Bert Kreischer
I'm a talker on an airplane.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Like, hardcore.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
I remember one time, I was like.
Mark Norman
That'S why they locked the pilot door. He won't shut the fuck up, bro.
Sam Morril
Burgess rolls up. Where are you flying?
Bert Kreischer
You don't think I haven't done that? Let me tell you something. You remember we were talking about knowing who your fans are? Yeah. Pilots of airlines love me. Love.
Sam Morril
How many times that worries me.
Bert Kreischer
Actually, I've gotten on a plane. My favorite thing in the world, Flight detective goes double jack on the rocks. Lots of rocks.
Sam Morril
Oh.
Ari Shafir
Oh, nice.
Mark Norman
Have you seen Sully?
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Norman
That guy knows Bert.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, Definitely.
Mark Norman
All right, you gotta slide in here. This is. You're 30 drinks behind.
Ari Shafir
I was walking home yesterday. I was with Lev. I saw Lev. And we're on the corner of 6th and, like, 4th. And some homeless guys, like, oh, you guys. And then some drunk white guys, like, I just want to hear what your joke is. And, I mean, I had to stop myself from slapping the schwarm out of his hand. I was so close to just like, no.
Mark Norman
Oh, but that's you.
Ari Shafir
That's me.
Mark Norman
Ah, love.
Bert Kreischer
When a pilot recognizes something out of someone's hand, it's always gonna be funny.
Mark Norman
It's so funny. They don't like it, but it's funny.
Ari Shafir
But it's the right thing.
Sam Morril
It's gotta be. It's got to be a friend. Friend you got. It's got to be a friend.
Mark Norman
Gotta be a friend.
Bert Kreischer
Black guy on the streets. I'm gonna join you. Don't want that.
Mark Norman
Oh, God. Yeah, that's a bad move.
Sam Morril
Bird and Harlem alone. Hey, buddy.
Bert Kreischer
You don't want that.
Mark Norman
Well, do you ever think, like, people are watching? Like, sometimes I think I'm in a movie. So you slap the guy. Slap the out of a guy's hand, and the guy gets mad at you and you're like, but I did it for the people at home. You guys ever have that?
Sam Morril
Yeah, you have the movie studio audience.
Mark Norman
Studio audience all the time.
Sam Morril
No, we're all deeply mentally ill. Oh, yeah.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Ari Shafir
What a narcissist thing to say. I'm important.
Mark Norman
I saw George Carlin. He had that special and he said, he's like, me and my friend would get drunk and sit on a couch and pretend we were on Carson. And that's what they would do at night. They were like, in a, you know, pour in a shitbox studio apartment in la, and they would do that with Carson. Then one day I got on Carson or whatever, but I totally related to that.
Sam Morril
Oh, same. Oh, yeah. You have to, like, fantasize about shit I would say, like, I wasn't fantasizing chicks as much as I would, like, shit I would say to, like, Letterman.
Mark Norman
Yes, yes, me too.
Sam Morril
Like, obviously I was thinking about women, but I was like, I was thinking about, like, I want to. I want to hang out with Dave Letterman.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
Do one better.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Oh, so wait, so I don't need to see black people slapping.
Ari Shafir
It's about to be a shooting.

The Internet's back and so is Matt.
Bert Kreischer
No, no, no, no, no. I do not need to see this.
Mark Norman
What the you gonna do?
Bert Kreischer
You just had to walk away, call someone. And then as it rains, you go, hey, what's up? Hello. Hello, Loop. And you practice your. I've done that.
Ari Shafir
I've done that first thing in the morning. Hello.
Bert Kreischer
What's up? Like, I called Joey today and. And I was like, in bed and I was ringing. I was like, what's up, big guy? Hey. Hey, what's up? How you doing? Hey, Joey. Joey. Hello. Yeah, I do that all the time.
Mark Norman
I do that too. And it's sad. If anyone saw it, you'd kill yourself.
Sam Morril
But basically, Travis Bickle in Texas.
Mark Norman
Yes, yes, exactly. Movie hits home. Yeah, I mean, I've run my set. Like my. Like a Tonight show set or whatever. I'm Conan. I used to run that in my apartment over and over. I'd picture Conan, be like, get over. That was the best we've ever seen. I go, thanks.
Sam Morril
Because I would listen to Seinfeld in, like, interviews on Fresh Air, and he would be like, you gotta go jogging every day? And I'm like, yeah, I'll go running. And like, what does that do with comedy? But you're like, it's Jerry saying this. Yeah, I'll run And I'll.
Mark Norman
Oh, yeah.
Ari Shafir
There's not a single video in existence of Jerry Seinfeld running.
Sam Morril
Except. Except for that episode maybe.
Mark Norman
About running away from Dice. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Ari Shafir
Sprinting away from Dice. Trying to. Like.
Bert Kreischer
He didn't like Dice. No.
Ari Shafir
Dice was doing the thing, but he didn't know it was him. He goes, jerry, Jerry. And just. Jerry's like some fan. I'm tensing up. I'm not gonna turn around. And Dice just stays after him. He didn't want to bop.
Mark Norman
Well, it ended a friend in a park. It ended nicely.
Bert Kreischer
No, hang on. If you come up to me, you're an outlier. No, I'm not.
Ari Shafir
Okay.
Mark Norman
I'm a liar.
Bert Kreischer
I'm not. I'm not. No. The truth.
Sam Morril
Well, you mean you're cool if someone walks up to you with a phone?
Mark Norman
Are you kidding? That's his dream.
Ari Shafir
Yeah, that's your. An outline.
Bert Kreischer
And don't shame that dream. Let's. Let's. Hang on.
Sam Morril
I think. I think.
Ari Shafir
You'Re a man of the.
Bert Kreischer
People, wrote that down. This down to Keynes.
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
There are two types of people. There are comics that pretend they don't want to be famous. Right. They're liars and they're manipulators. Why get on stage. Don't. What do you think you're a gift to the gods? Odds that we needed your fucking words to share with us?
Sam Morril
No one's disputing that. I'm just saying the walk up without the consent of the. Of the video. Just ask for consent.
Bert Kreischer
Nope, nope, not you. You're a regular people. Regular people. You're forgetting who your mom is, who your sister is.
Sam Morril
My mom wouldn't go up to someone.
Bert Kreischer
With a phone, I'm telling you, with a friend. You are overestimating the world based on your experiences. And we would never do that. We would never do that. But the regular person sees Al just.
Sam Morril
Say, hey, can I take a view?
Bert Kreischer
Al Roker. And goes, Al Roker. I'm telling you who the regular person sees. You get weak at Al Roker.
Sam Morril
Bird is hammered.
Bert Kreischer
The regular human goes. His biggest hero. Oh, that's Al Roker. That's Al Roker. He's at a table. He's having dinner. Can you believe that's. Can you believe I sat next to Al Roker and they do a video? Now, listen, Al Roer sees that, I'll tell you the person it happens to the most. Matt La.
Mark Norman
Who?
Bert Kreischer
Adam Richmond.
Ari Shafir
Man versus food.
Bert Kreischer
Man versus food. Happened to him all the time.
Sam Morril
Really?
Bert Kreischer
I was friends.
Sam Morril
I like that. Guy.
Bert Kreischer
I was friends with him, and I'd watch it happen to him, and I'd watch him get upset, and I should call him right now to let him defend.
Sam Morril
Call him.
Mark Norman
Is he still around?
Bert Kreischer
Of course. He's great. He's great.
Sam Morril
No, I'm fine with the video. I'll do your video. Just say, hey, can I take a video? That's all I'm asking.
Ari Shafir
Don't swarm in the middle of picking my nose and eating it.
Bert Kreischer
Privilege. What you don't realize is the average person never thinks you're gonna allow them to do that. Never thinks they would.
Sam Morril
I'm not, actually.
Ari Shafir
No. The average person asks. The average person asks.
Sam Morril
I've never had someone imagine doing that.
Ari Shafir
To a regular person, just a normal guy in the street.
Bert Kreischer
They'd be like, you're a liar.
Sam Morril
Except for in that steam room, you're.
Bert Kreischer
Not a regular person.
Ari Shafir
I'm a Jew. Different.
Bert Kreischer
Better.
Mark Norman
True.
Bert Kreischer
Stronger. Smarter. You gotta realize yourself into regular people's lives. You're in Orlando.
Ari Shafir
That's where comics go to die.
Sam Morril
You're in Orlando yourself. Guys, everyone. You're in Orlando, Florida.
Bert Kreischer
And you're eating Hooters, right?
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And you got a mega fan right next to you.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
He sees you.
Mark Norman
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
You gotta. You gotta remember what it's like to be a regular person.
Mark Norman
Sure.
Bert Kreischer
Forgotten what it's like.
Sam Morril
No, I haven't.
Mark Norman
I know what you mean.
Bert Kreischer
By the way. By the way.
Sam Morril
Al Roker. I grew up in the city, and I knew a girl who was hammered in high school, and she's puking on the sidewalk, and Al Roker walked up to her, and he goes, that's a disgrace.
Bert Kreischer
Right now. Adam Richard, more than anyone I've ever seen.
Mark Norman
Really.
Sam Morril
We literally just got that bottom.
Bert Kreischer
My argument always to him was, really?
Sam Morril
Yeah, we need. In studio. We need la.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah. That's what regular people.
Mark Norman
Yeah, yeah.
Bert Kreischer
You can't. You can't deny.
Mark Norman
You can't deny it. I agree. I agree.
Sam Morril
I agree with you. I'm. I'm half around.
Mark Norman
Guy Fieri must get it all day long.
Bert Kreischer
And. And here's the deal. Just go like, hey, what's up, man?
Mark Norman
That's it.
Bert Kreischer
Let's diffuse it.
Sam Morril
And then we take the video.
Bert Kreischer
And we take the video.
Sam Morril
I'm a. We're saying the same thing.
Mark Norman
This is why Seinfeld's the man.

That's a great point.
Mark Norman

Ari Shafir
I think I just want attention. And that's it. That's. That's what they're going for a little bit like, shut up, you. And then move on.

Bothered me. It bothered me. I texted Mark the next morning and I said, I don't like that. I don't like it. I'm just weird about it. So, like, I understand Bill Maher's point of view. Do you remember when they did it about Dane on snl?
Sam Morril
Yeah.
Mark Norman
No.
Sam Morril
It was on mad tv.
Bert Kreischer
Mad tv.
Mark Norman
No.
Bert Kreischer
So you whittle down thing they do, and you go like, I'm this, I'm that, I'm that. And then none of the nuance there. It's like, yeah, do it to every comic. And. And I'll tell you. I'll tell you. They did it to Sebastian a couple times on Skanks. And. And I understood it. I get it. But it's like, Sebastian's a little more than what's up with these People, you know.
Ari Shafir
No, they know that, though. They're just, like, doing it for funny. The funny part.
Bert Kreischer
I know, but I just.
Sam Morril
I think when it's done with love.
Bert Kreischer
Flag decks, I. I may not like putting that in there because I'm just.
Mark Norman
I get it.
Bert Kreischer
I don't want to on Jeremiah. I'm not on Jeremiah.
Ari Shafir
He kids. You can on him.
Mark Norman
I'm cool with Jeremiah and we. We talked about it, so I'm. I find it somewhat flattering, but I see what you're saying.
Bert Kreischer
It bothered me. I texted you privately.
Sam Morril
I don't think what Epstein did with the kids was cool, but I think his Mark Norman impression was pretty good, so I stand by it.
Bert Kreischer
By the way, I agree more with Epstein. I, I. Listen, dude. Hey, whatever happened to that island?
Sam Morril

Podcast Summary: We Might Be Drunk - Episode 226: Bert Kreischer & Ari Shaffir
Release Date: April 7, 2025
Produced by Gotham Production Studios, LLC
Introduction
In Episode 226 of "We Might Be Drunk," hosts Sam Morril and Mark Normand are joined by the charismatic comedians Bert Kreischer and Ari Shaffir. As customary, the conversation weaves through personal anecdotes, insights into the comedy world, and the camaraderie that comes with sharing a drink or two in the vibrant backdrop of New York City.
Navigating Comedy and Podcasting
Bert Kreischer kicks off the discussion by reflecting on the challenges of balancing content between podcasts and stand-up acts. He shares, "I said something super funny on Chris Decephano and Giannis Pappas's podcast about therapy. And as soon as I said it, I went, I should have saved that for my act" (00:09). This sentiment opens up a broader conversation about how comedians manage their material across different platforms. Sam Morril challenges Bert, asking, "Why can't you just use it in your act?" (00:25), highlighting the fluidity comedians often navigate between mediums.
Bert emphasizes his strength as a storyteller, contrasting it with the quick, joke-heavy format preferred by his hosts: "I'm a storyteller" (02:26). This distinction underscores the diverse approaches within the comedy scene and the adaptability required to succeed in both stand-up and podcasting.
Personal Anecdotes and Comedic Inspirations
A significant portion of the episode delves into Bert's interactions with other comedians and celebrities. One standout story involves a chance encounter on a flight: Bert recounts meeting a male model who insisted on only drinking vodka due to his contract, prompting Bert to adopt Tito's vodka into his routine. He humorously notes, "And that day forward, I drank only Tito's" (04:53).
The conversation also touches on the influence of luck in comedy careers. Bert shares, "There is such a lucky moment where something really great happens to you, and then all of a sudden, it opens up the fucking world to you" (21:35). This leads to discussions about how unexpected events can catapult a comedian's career, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the industry.
Navigating Fame and Personal Relationships
Bert opens up about his personal life, particularly his marriage to Leanne Morgan. He humorously details their evolving relationship and Leanne's foray into more adventurous sexual experiences: "But we were in this wild phase right now. It's been really fun" (12:04). This candid conversation provides listeners with a glimpse into the dynamic lives of comedians beyond the stage.
The episode also explores the complexities of fame and recognition. Bert shares his experiences of being recognized in New York versus Paris, highlighting the differing cultural receptions: "New York's a weird place because they always check out Netflix" (29:34). These anecdotes underscore the varying impacts of fame in different locales.
Insights into the Comedy Industry
The hosts and guests discuss the evolving landscape of stand-up comedy, particularly the integration of political and personal narratives into humor. Sam Morril remarks, "I don't like how political every standup has become" (51:32), reflecting a common sentiment among comedians who prefer to focus on universal themes rather than divisive topics.
Bert counters this by illustrating the balance between personal storytelling and joke-writing, noting how his specials prioritize rapid-fire humor to maintain audience engagement: "It's getting a laugh every 12 seconds" (85:03). This strategy emphasizes the importance of pacing and timing in crafting successful stand-up performances.
Humor, Health, and Lifestyle Choices
Throughout the episode, the conversation frequently circles back to themes of alcohol consumption and its role in the comedians' lives. Bert shares his regimented approach to mitigating hangovers: "I drink every night. Minimum four liquid deaths right before bed" (35:06). This leads to a broader discussion about the cultural norms surrounding drinking in the comedy community and its impact on personal health.
Additionally, the speakers touch on various lifestyle choices that influence their comedic material and everyday lives, such as diet, exercise, and medical regimens. Mark Normand humorously links daily routines to comedic performance, saying, "I get my blood work every six months" (82:44), highlighting the intersection of personal well-being and professional life.
Closing Remarks and Upcoming Projects
As the episode nears its conclusion, the hosts and guests excitedly discuss upcoming tours, specials, and collaborative projects. Bert promotes his Netflix special "Lucky," while Sam and Mark mention their active touring schedules across various cities. The camaraderie among the group is palpable, reinforcing the show's theme of friendship and shared experiences in the world of comedy.
Notable closing moments include lighthearted exchanges about future endeavors and humorous banter about their current state of inebriation: "You might be drunk. So am I" (157:36). These finales embody the show's relaxed and entertaining atmosphere, leaving listeners anticipating future episodes.
Conclusion
Episode 226 of "We Might Be Drunk" offers a multifaceted look into the lives of comedians navigating the delicate balance between personal storytelling and joke-centric humor. Through engaging anecdotes, insightful discussions about the comedy industry's dynamics, and the enduring bonds of friendship, Sam Morril, Mark Normand, Bert Kreischer, and Ari Shaffir deliver a rich and entertaining conversation. Not only does this episode provide laughs, but it also delves into the deeper aspects of what it means to live and succeed as a comedian in today's world.
