Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
That's probably the way to do it.
We're cutting in right now.
Pow!
ari shaffir
So what do they have?
joe rogan
Tell me about the tour bus.
Are you the tour bus champ?
bert kreischer
No, no, no, he's not.
ari shaffir
Let's hold up on labels till we hear the story.
bert kreischer
I've only won one victory in this whole thing.
joe rogan
Who's the tour buster?
You came so close to the weight loss.
tom segura
You did come close.
joe rogan
Then we had one year where it was like socialist.
It was like Marxist.
No one could lose.
Even if you lost, it didn't matter.
bert kreischer
I like that.
That was camaraderie.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was a good year.
tom segura
This year's gotta be a good one.
joe rogan
Listen, last year I almost killed myself.
tom segura
Yeah, we gotta do it differently than that.
ari shaffir
You were peeing fucking purple.
joe rogan
It wasn't purple, but it wasn't the right color.
tom segura
What color was it?
joe rogan
I was worried I had brown.
I was worried, but it wasn't.
It was just dehydration.
Severe dehydration.
There was days where I would drink literally like fucking gallons of water.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
You don't want ice?
ari shaffir
I'm going to try it without first.
joe rogan
You're crazy.
I was drinking so much.
I was drinking water and I was adding salt to it.
I was adding Himalayan salt to the water.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Just because I know I was dehydrating myself so much.
I would have puddles on the ground.
tom segura
That still wasn't sufficient.
joe rogan
Dude, I set off an alarm.
tom segura
I remember that.
joe rogan
I set off a fire alarm in the gym for my sweat.
tom segura
I've never heard of that.
bert kreischer
I still have PTSD from last year's Sober October.
I get texts from you guys and panic sits in my heart.
joe rogan
My wife gets it.
She thinks I'm crazy.
ari shaffir
It upsets wives.
tom segura
You're the only one who ruined the home life.
ari shaffir
Yeah, if I had come to New York, it would have been, I mean, LA would have been terrible to be here for an extra month.
But, like, I saw that fucking stupid device when I was moving.
I opened up a drawer and I was like, get it out, get it out of here.
bert kreischer
It's like Chucky.
joe rogan
It's like Chucky, the little doll.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
unidentified
I'm coming for you!
bert kreischer
I think Leanne and Push are going to podcast this entire Sober October.
tom segura
Don't let her.
joe rogan
After she threw you under the bus?
In the fucking radio station?
Tell that story.
The audience didn't hear that story.
ari shaffir
You guys should do wife swaps.
joe rogan
Tell that story.
bert kreischer
They were asking about drugs and how hard I party, and I was just talking shit, and I was like, you know, I go, I spoke a little bit of weed.
Every now and then, if cocaine's on a switchblade, I'll hit it, but for the most part, I don't.
I only do mushrooms once a year.
And Leanne just heard me and she's making breakfast for the girl.
She goes, he doesn't do mushrooms and he doesn't do cocaine.
He's got high blood pressure.
I'm like, bitch, I'm trying to move tickets in Dayton.
joe rogan
Were you under the bus?
bert kreischer
Body Stop's World Tour.
Fall date's available now.
joe rogan
Is it available right now?
bert kreischer
Dude, yeah.
tom segura
Right now, right now, right now.
bert kreischer
Right now, right now.
BurtBurtBurt.com.
tom segura
You sound like you're coming off a coke bender.
joe rogan
We're all touring hard.
unidentified
Dude.
joe rogan
But think about it, Tom.
When you first started going on the road with me, you're way further ahead now than I was back then.
ari shaffir
Oh, right.
joe rogan
When he was opening for me.
ari shaffir
We were doing clubs.
tom segura
Yeah, we were doing clubs.
joe rogan
We were doing all clubs.
We started to do theaters when you started to headline your own places.
tom segura
That's true.
Yeah.
That was pretty crazy.
joe rogan
Dude, it was quick, man.
ari shaffir
I was thinking about that level you were at that we all thought was like, Damn!
tom segura
Well, yeah.
I mean, you know why?
It's because you know someone.
You're like, it's accessible.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
Right, right, right.
joe rogan
It seems normal.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
It makes sense.
Like, oh, I could sell out this whole weekend, too.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
And then when you do, you're like, oh, shit.
ari shaffir
Like, what?
joe rogan
I'm a fucking comedian.
I'm a real comedian.
I sell out a club.
ari shaffir
And it's just because we got in shape.
tom segura
I didn't even think about it.
joe rogan
It's just because of Sober October.
tom segura
It's just because of Sober October.
I didn't think about theaters back then, like when we were all in the club.
joe rogan
No, we were just doing clubs.
I had done a couple of theaters here and there, but for the most part, it was just about just working.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
That's what Dice said.
He was like, what do you want to do with your career?
I was like, I'd like to have clubs.
He goes, why not theater?
I was like, I couldn't do theater.
He goes, why?
Because you said you can do whatever you want.
And I was like, alright.
joe rogan
Dice got me to go on the road.
He really planted a fucking seed in my head one day in the back parking lot at the comedy store.
I said, why don't you do the road?
I said, I don't know.
He goes, hey, don't fucking just hang around here.
And he's like, you can make a good living.
He goes, you don't need these fucking TV guys.
And I was like, wow.
He's right.
I was thinking about it.
I was like, he's right.
bert kreischer
Dude, that's changed my life.
I've said this a million times, but you and Bill Burr in the back of the store telling me, your show's not that good, you should just stick with stand-up.
joe rogan
Well, I just...
I knew that you were way better than that.
I'm like, you're not even doing your stand-up justice.
I'd see you do stand-up, but it's like you hadn't done it in five months.
You'd been in fucking Thailand or some shit, swinging off of a tree by your dick.
tom segura
On a roller coaster with some special people.
joe rogan
Also, I was worried you were going to get killed.
You were doing so many different things in so many different places.
I called him up once.
He was drunk on a motorcycle in Vietnam.
I was like, what are you doing?
He's like, I'm in Vietnam, I'm drunk!
tom segura
Ride a unicycle!
He learned these completely unnecessary life skills.
unidentified
Yeah, that you can't apply to anything in your life.
tom segura
Do you know how to ride a unicycle?
I'm like, what?
He's like, I learned in Rome.
unidentified
I could do whatever I want to know.
joe rogan
Is that harder than when them hoverboards?
What's harder?
bert kreischer
Oh, dude, those hoverboards in the ocean?
joe rogan
No, I don't mean that.
I mean the things that the kids roll around on.
ari shaffir
Just the wheel in the middle?
joe rogan
No, the wheel in the middle.
Rich Rebuilds, you know that YouTube channel, do you know who he is?
Rich Benoit, he's a YouTube host, and he also, he fixed...
He's like the first guy to ever build a Tesla.
He bought a junk Tesla that somebody had let get flooded with water, and he's just a really smart guy, and he's a tech guy, so he's like, okay, what the fuck is in that thing?
Like, how do I fix this?
So all the wires were fucked up, the battery was toast.
So he bought a crashed one and he took the battery and the engine out of the crashed one and put it in the one that he owned and then rewired and went through this crazy process to get a Tesla to work that he eventually did.
And now he has his own garage.
It's what's called the electric garage in Massachusetts where he rebuilds these Teslas.
What was my point?
Oh, he had one of those with a big-ass fat tire where you're riding on it like a skateboard.
That's hard.
tom segura
That looks hard.
joe rogan
That's hard to do.
bert kreischer
I almost killed someone on a Segway one time.
I was in Rome, and we were on Segways, and I was just screwing around, and then I just hopped off, and I didn't realize that when you hop off, if you're leaning forward, it keeps going.
And this thing started whipping around me, just...
And we're in like a big piazza, and I just let go of it.
Didn't hit anyone, but everyone around us was standing dead still, like...
Oh my god, it would have been bodied right there.
joe rogan
You're supposed to dive on it like a good hero.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Do you know where to fund those?
tom segura
There's no way you're doing that.
You wouldn't dive on it?
No way!
joe rogan
You'd have to take it for the team.
tom segura
He'd let 15 people die?
bert kreischer
Just walk out casually?
unidentified
I don't know what happened.
bert kreischer
Those hoverboards that are jet skis where you go like 40 feet up in the air.
joe rogan
Oh, those are crazy.
bert kreischer
Those are fun as fuck.
ari shaffir
That looks fucking cool.
Those do look cool.
I like the guys who get it turned over and then it starts to go down and they just, with extra speed, just shoot into the bucket board.
unidentified
What are those called?
bert kreischer
What are they?
unidentified
The Widowmaker.
bert kreischer
Dude.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Those things are fun as fuck.
Legit, yeah.
I could do a backflip on one.
All you gotta do is fall backwards and then kick your feet around.
I picked up on that one quick.
Yeah, there's a lot of useless skills I have from Travel Channel.
joe rogan
Dude, you traveled so much.
tom segura
Oh my god.
joe rogan
It always bothered me.
You know why it bothered me?
Because I would've probably done it too if I was you.
And I was like, goddammit, how do you get out of that?
Because I know that feeling.
Like, you have the best job ever.
You're on a TV show.
You're like, oh my god, I have the best job ever.
I'm on a fucking TV show.
But yet, you're still like, fuck, I gotta get out of this.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
It's weird, because you do get to go to really cool places and get paid for it.
tom segura
Yeah, that was cool.
But you also, I mean, you weren't thrilled.
Because you miss stand-up more.
bert kreischer
I miss stand-up.
Well, what was happening is Tom's career was exploding at the time.
The day I fell off a waterfall.
Do you remember that?
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I was in Aspen, and Push called me.
She's like, I'm talking to Tom, and he's talking about these one-nighters, but I want to do the funny bones.
I was so far removed from stand-up, I didn't even know you could do one-nighters.
I didn't know that theaters were an option.
I think I was at a store a week later, and you were like, you know, Tom's doing, like, legit theaters.
And I remember just going, I missed...
What if I just missed it entirely?
joe rogan
You could have, and some people do.
We all know guys that were really funny back in the day, and then they somehow or another quit.
It fell apart.
tom segura
Dude, what if you had been like, I'm going to lean into Travel Channel?
bert kreischer
Dude, I was.
unidentified
I was.
joe rogan
What if you became a Christian, like super Christian, got a cross tattoo on your arm just to let them know you're really down with them?
ari shaffir
I'm sure your reps told you all those things.
joe rogan
Go to church with a fucking golf shirt on.
tom segura
Oh, man.
bert kreischer
Dude, when I got fired from Travel Channel, my world melted down.
That was right when we were getting fat shamed.
I was getting fat shamed.
Leanne scheduled a...
unidentified
I like how you say we were getting fat shamed as if you guys weren't in on the fat shaming.
But you're saying that...
joe rogan
Hold on a second.
That didn't happen to you.
You're saying you were getting fat shamed, but...
You gotta let people know.
Like, you don't really believe in fat shaming.
You weren't really getting fat shamed.
bert kreischer
He felt it.
At the time, it was very one-sided.
joe rogan
Do you really think that's a real thing?
bert kreischer
At the time I got fired from Travel Channel, I definitely was one-sided, and I felt it hard as fuck.
joe rogan
Your friend was fucking with you because he was worried you were gonna die.
ari shaffir
He wanted Conan to do it, though.
He did it on a major platform.
It wasn't like morning radio.
He was on another level.
bert kreischer
He put it on his fucking special on Netflix.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Dude, imagine taking a Conan appearance, which was massive at the time, and you go, nah, I'm going to use this for fun.
I'm not going to try to promote myself.
joe rogan
DJ Dadmouth is my favorite character that everybody's ever brought to a morning TV show.
When you used to do that?
tom segura
That was so fun.
joe rogan
I loved that you were doing that because I hated those shows.
I was like, why would he do those shows?
ari shaffir
Morning TV is terrible.
joe rogan
But then when you do morning TV dressed up like a fake rapper, for people who don't know, Segura created a character called DJ Dadmouth and he would just show up places and the people did not know what the fuck to do with him because the lowest rung in all of show business is morning television host.
I'm so sorry if you listen to this and you're a local morning television host.
Look, I used to deliver newspapers.
ari shaffir
Way better than morning host.
joe rogan
It's one of the lowest rungs in all of showbuses.
It's a weird rung where you're trapped.
It's the worst.
It's like you're broadcasting out of a Christian convenience store or something.
It's very strange.
tom segura
The worst part, too, is that the four of us, plus 90% of the acts working those clubs, do not have a fan base watching that show.
ari shaffir
No way!
unidentified
No way!
tom segura
So you put it together, you're like, this is definitely a waste of time.
We're wasting our time right now.
ari shaffir
And then if that's the only one that morning...
We're like, you woke me up at fucking six to do this?
tom segura
To do Good Morning Hartford.
bert kreischer
It only works when you get in trouble.
I remember one time I got shirtless and went up in the weather and started saying, there's thunderstorms.
Tom did DJ. Have you ever seen Mark Normans?
ari shaffir
Mark Normans is great.
bert kreischer
When he just goes up and she goes, how you doing?
He goes, kind of gay.
Let's get this started.
Hungover.
Horny.
Look at you.
I mean, he just destroys, but totally ruined the relationship for the club.
joe rogan
Really?
bert kreischer
Did he really?
100%.
ari shaffir
No, I went in there afterwards.
joe rogan
How about Tracy Morgan?
ari shaffir
Tracy Morgan's was my first one.
tom segura
Yeah, that's the fucking legendary one.
ari shaffir
We're going to get pregnant up a hill.
tom segura
That's the one where he talks to...
joe rogan
Someone's going to get pregnant.
tom segura
Horace Grant!
unidentified
Holla!
joe rogan
He starts laughing.
That's my mating call.
tom segura
But they're dying.
They are dying.
When he does that big one in Chicago, he was in Chicago for sure, because I know he kept hollering at bulls to get him in the middle of it.
joe rogan
He just crashed his $2 million Bugatti today.
tom segura
Today?
joe rogan
Yep.
A Honda sideswiped him.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
In Hell's Kitchen.
Some dirty, Honda-driving savage ran into a $2 million Italian sports car.
tom segura
I did a show with him like a year and a half ago, one of the oddball shows, and he came in an all-white Rolls-Royce with a Like with a driver, you know, like a chauffeur.
And he came in all white and had like a fucking enormous gold chain with a medallion TM. And I was like, that chain looks crazy.
He's like 600,000.
Some crazy shit.
This is today?
joe rogan
Look at this guy.
Sideswipe Tracy Morgan's convertible $2 million Bugatti.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
He's letting people know.
joe rogan
What's he been wearing?
The Honda's defense.
It's a very low car.
He has a high car.
He probably looked over, saw nothing.
ari shaffir
Fuck you.
joe rogan
Didn't know it was a car that was like two feet off the ground.
It's such a small car.
Those cars are so hard to see if you're right next to them.
tom segura
What does that dude's insurance say when he calls?
unidentified
You what?!
ari shaffir
I don't know if we can cover this.
joe rogan
You don't fuck!
That'll probably be like the final straw.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Probably kick him off the contract.
unidentified
Yeah, for sure.
ari shaffir
Was that Tracy Morgan interview?
That had to be an inspiration to doing the DJ Dadmouth, right?
To me, that was the first one I remember.
tom segura
Like, whoa.
joe rogan
I guess someone could fuck with them.
tom segura
You could fuck with them in that way, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
It was funny because some people would be really into having fun with you, like the Tracy Morgan people.
I could see how a club relationship could be because we left one of the clubs when I told them I was coming out as non-binary and the lady was like, what?
This is like on the air?
And I was like, different genders.
And she was like, all right.
And she just turned to the TV and she was like, ugh.
joe rogan
She just wasn't into it.
tom segura
And then she called.
Like, we called the PR person that drove us to the club.
Or to the event.
ari shaffir
You didn't realize she's in the car.
tom segura
Yeah, she goes, what the fuck was that?
She was like, that guy's so weird.
Don't bring stuff like that in here.
I was like, that's the whole point.
We don't want to come in here.
unidentified
They...
joe rogan
They think that what they're doing is serious.
We're providing a wonderful morning show for downtown Pittsburgh.
tom segura
You're showing them how to make fucking pastrami sandwiches.
ari shaffir
Exactly.
tom segura
So dumb.
joe rogan
What a great sandwich.
Hey, thanks a lot.
bert kreischer
We've got the Christian youth group who's going to sing for us next.
ari shaffir
I tried shitting on the last time I went to Cleveland.
It was the normal one.
That's why I know the relationship's still fine.
But there was a doctor before me.
I was like, why does he wear his fucking...
Doctor outfit to do this.
On the way, he put a sweater on and left.
Why can't that be him?
And the guy's like, I don't know!
tom segura
It feels like you're stepping into Truman Show stuff.
It's so contrived.
There's nothing real about it.
bert kreischer
Especially when there's a 22-year-old PA or associate producer.
One time I went in and I said, yeah, I'm already drunk from doing radio.
I go, just put the mic on my necklace.
And she goes, why?
I go, I'm going to take my shirt off.
She goes, you will not be doing that.
And I said, you don't tell me what to do.
She was like, excuse me, I'll be right back.
And it came back and she goes, what is in your cup?
And I said, whiskey.
And she was like, he's drinking!
He's drinking!
ari shaffir
She told on you?
bert kreischer
Oh my god.
And I was just like, we should probably leave.
joe rogan
So you just left?
bert kreischer
I just left.
I was like, I don't want to get anyone fired.
joe rogan
She's telling you you can't take your shirt off.
tom segura
Or have a drink.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Or have a drink.
ari shaffir
I love how it's like she's telling me she found something out.
You're like, I was poor you in front of everybody.
I don't want to drink out of the bottle.
joe rogan
She thinks she's at an insurance company.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
It's hilarious when people don't know what job they're in and try to take it more seriously.
tom segura
If one of those morning shows fucked off, like the way we're talking about it, it'd be like the best morning show.
ari shaffir
It'd be great.
joe rogan
It'd be so much better.
ari shaffir
Tom Green had a great, great one I'm remembering now, back when he was like public access and he was trying to promote his public access that became the Tom Green show and he just took over.
joe rogan
He did some crazy shit, man.
ari shaffir
Pies in the face.
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
You know what's amazing is like him and then that other dude, Jamie Kennedy, they did their best shit where they were like pranking people.
ari shaffir
Jackass?
joe rogan
And then they just stopped.
tom segura
Yeah.
Man, but Tom's blew up so crazy, man.
joe rogan
So crazy.
unidentified
When Tom Green was on, it was stuff I couldn't even believe.
tom segura
Tom Green did Oprah.
unidentified
Wow.
tom segura
Did he really?
Yes.
Oprah was like, it was such a phenomenon what was going on.
The show was so big.
ari shaffir
He milked a cow with his mouth.
tom segura
Yeah.
He put Slutmobile on his dad's car.
ari shaffir
Oh my God, on his parents'.
And then hid in the bushes.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
He didn't just like, let me fuck with this amount of people.
Like, my mommy and daddy.
joe rogan
Did people forget?
Did people forget Tom Green?
What happened?
unidentified
People forgot.
ari shaffir
No, he got ball cancer, had to take a break, came back and tried to do like a more serious show with Humperdinck.
What's his guy's name?
joe rogan
But what I'm saying is people forgot how big it used to be.
tom segura
Oh, they may have forgotten how big it was.
ari shaffir
Tom Green was one of the man.
bert kreischer
What he did was he did what we're all doing way before any of us, but it was when bandwidth was too expensive.
He did.
He had his own podcast.
joe rogan
I did it.
bert kreischer
You did?
joe rogan
I did it at his house.
It was part of the inspiration for me doing one.
I even talked to his company.
They were based in Denver.
I was in Denver doing the Comedy Works and I talked to the company that was doing it for him.
And I was seriously considering doing something like that.
But the problem was...
Bandwidth is crazy expensive.
He had cables running from the desk all the way through his living room into a server room.
He had a server room.
And it was crazy.
How much money is involved in this?
He's like, a fuckload of money.
And he goes like, I have to have all these people running it too.
That was Tom Green's.
That's me and Tom Green.
So what essentially it was, was he decided to try to do a talk show host.
ari shaffir
I remember that Joe Rogan, the fucking long sleeve under the short sleeve.
joe rogan
That was my look, bro.
ari shaffir
That Joe Rogan.
joe rogan
I had my look for a while.
ari shaffir
With the torn jeans.
You were like, I'm not coming to Hollywood.
joe rogan
I'm giving up.
bert kreischer
That was all based on one switch he had in his house.
joe rogan
I know.
bert kreischer
He'd just go on and flip a switch, and the show went on and went live.
joe rogan
So me and Red Band looked at it, and we're like, well, how much is involved in this?
What would we have to do to do something like this?
And then, you know, eventually it just led to...
But that and Cumia.
Anthony Cumia, that was a big one.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
He had that live from the compound in his basement.
And then the way that Opie and Anthony ran their show was an inspiration too.
Because it was just a hangout.
And it was my favorite show to listen to.
It was just a bunch of guys hanging out, talking.
I was like, that's what I want to do.
bert kreischer
Four hours of them eating oatmeal.
I remember they'd just eat oatmeal.
And you'd be like, oh yeah.
I was a big fan back then.
joe rogan
On the show, they would eat oatmeal?
bert kreischer
Oh.
You'd tune in early.
On O&A? On O&A and they'd just be eating breakfast.
And just go in.
Jim would take a shit and be gone for 30 minutes.
Because they didn't have any.
When they first started.
unidentified
Fat Jim.
ari shaffir
Fat Jim Norton.
joe rogan
Fat Jim Norton.
unidentified
Back in the day.
joe rogan
Back in the day.
bert kreischer
They didn't have any advertisers.
So they had to fill four hours of content.
So they literally.
I mean.
Everything went.
Yeah, when they first started on SiriusXM, they had to fill four hours of content.
ari shaffir
Oh yeah, no commercials back then.
bert kreischer
There's no commercials.
That was the pitch.
joe rogan
Isn't that crazy that Sirius said, hey, we don't have commercials.
bert kreischer
You pay for it.
joe rogan
You pay for it.
And then they just started selling commercials.
Like, wait a minute.
Aren't I fucking paying for this?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
And you got commercials too?
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's because Howard got to get to the paper, kid.
bert kreischer
It's weird.
ari shaffir
People at the helm have no fucking integrity.
joe rogan
He gets caked up.
He gets caked up still.
No matter how.
I mean, he's locked up in a contract for Liz Ive, son.
tom segura
I thought it was about to come up.
unidentified
Whatever.
joe rogan
Whenever he wants more money, I'm sure.
That's what Howard would do.
But he makes an ass load of money.
There's no one even close.
No, dude.
Second place is distant.
tom segura
He's a huge shareholder.
ari shaffir
Do you remember that lawsuit, too?
They're like, if we can get over, let's say the number was 100 million subscribers, I get this gigantic bonus.
And then they bought...
joe rogan
Serious.
ari shaffir
Serious.
And they're like, that took us from 60, plus another 40 is 100. So I get it.
He goes, no, we acquired that.
And he goes, nah.
Pay me, motherfuckers.
And I don't know what happened with it, but fucking Jew move right there.
joe rogan
Respect.
You guys are done with your beef?
ari shaffir
I don't want to be with him.
I just think he should retire.
But anyway, the point is this.
The point is he did a good thing for this.
joe rogan
But basically what he was saying was that the only reason that deal took place at all was because he was...
Was it Sirius or XM? He was Sirius and they bought XM. Right, right, right.
So...
The only reason why Sirius was kicking ass at all was because of Howard fucking Stern, period.
bert kreischer
There was nothing on Sirius other than him.
tom segura
Yeah, they wouldn't have acquired XM. And also, the model was so suspect at the time.
You're going to leave terrestrial radio and go to a place where people have to pay for what they just turn on?
joe rogan
He deserves it.
Here's why.
No one else could have carried that thing.
No one else.
ari shaffir
He was radio.
joe rogan
And especially at that time, during that transition to satellite, no one else would have got people to commit to having a fucking satellite dish in your car.
Remember you had those stupid fucking antennas that you used to have to put in your car to get To get serious?
bert kreischer
The wire went all the way through your car.
It was gross!
joe rogan
This fucking stupid thing that would stick up like a pigtail out of the roof of your car.
tom segura
Do you remember those?
Yeah, and how it would cut out for like every turn, any corner.
joe rogan
Anytime there was a building in New York City, anytime something blocked it, any tunnel was dead.
ari shaffir
The city that it existed in.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Whatever money that company makes, the only reason it's still in business is because of Howard Stern.
ari shaffir
For sure.
joe rogan
Only reason.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
For sure.
joe rogan
That's it.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
I had XM. And it was...
Until Bennington and Opie and Anthony showed up, it was painful.
I would listen to Yacht Rock.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
ari shaffir
It was cool, though.
You're like, 90s rock.
Three different channels of that.
joe rogan
A hundred different channels.
ari shaffir
Awesome.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was worth a dollar a year.
tom segura
Bennington's the best, dude.
joe rogan
Bennington's great.
tom segura
He's the best.
ari shaffir
Dude, he's been doing on stage lately.
He did my storytelling show too recently and did the same thing.
Just talking about the good old days of fucking drug addiction in New York.
tom segura
Oh, he used to get down, dude.
ari shaffir
He describes the city that you're like, oh my god, I want to be there.
He used to get down.
tom segura
When did you go?
joe rogan
What year?
ari shaffir
What?
joe rogan
First time in the city.
ari shaffir
I went there six years.
Oh, first time I've ever been there?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
Did you see Times Square when it was Times Square?
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I was like, what's that woman wearing a bra?
Just a bra.
My mom was like, eh, whatever.
joe rogan
What they did at Times Square, they turned Times Square into like a Disney mall.
unidentified
It is.
tom segura
It's disgusting.
It's New York's version of like Disneyland.
joe rogan
It's weird.
ari shaffir
It's disgusting.
tom segura
And it's a nightmare whenever you're visiting and also, you know, like when you're visiting, you're in a car and we need to go to this and all of a sudden you look up and you're like, are we in fucking Times Square?
Like you're just driving through it.
I'm like, we gotta get out of here, man.
unidentified
Right.
tom segura
Like the chaos.
It's too commercialized.
ari shaffir
It's so commercial for no reason.
tom segura
It feels like everything that makes New York amazing is gone.
ari shaffir
You used to do a funny joke about it, that you go for a meeting, and then you're walking, and people are just looking up, and he's like, why?
He's like, oh, fuck, I'm at Times Square!
unidentified
Fuck!
tom segura
Who says that?
ari shaffir
Jim Gaffigan.
joe rogan
That's funny.
Well, it's very Vegas-esque.
It's like walking down the Strip.
tom segura
Yes, it is.
joe rogan
Or the lights and the...
It's fake.
ari shaffir
There's no M&M's.
That's not where it was invented.
So why is that a giant M&M's store?
joe rogan
And when you used to know what it was like, like peep shows and XXX everywhere, it was seedy and weird.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Dangerous.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was dangerous.
Like, legitimately dangerous.
tom segura
I mean, the worst time, what, 70s, 80s, right?
That was like the worst crime time?
Late 70s into the mid to late 80s?
joe rogan
I was hanging out in New York in the 80s.
That was my pool hustling days.
And I was doing a lot of gigs.
I guess it wasn't the 80s.
It was the 90s.
The early 90s.
Because by 91 was, I think, the first time I ever performed in New York.
91 or maybe 92. Damn, really?
Yeah.
tom segura
Well, this is like you're just starting out, though, kind of.
ari shaffir
You were going to Amsterdam Billiard then?
Yes.
joe rogan
No, it was Chelsea.
Chelsea Billiards.
We would go to Amsterdam, but Amsterdam was on the west side back then.
It was on Amsterdam.
unidentified
Oh, it moved.
joe rogan
That's why it was called Amsterdam Billiards.
ari shaffir
That makes sense.
joe rogan
It was on the west side.
It was an awesome place.
That's where I became friends with Dom Herrera.
Played pool with him in 94 at Amsterdam Billiards.
I didn't know he played.
When I meet a pool player, a comic who actually plays, Dom could play.
tom segura
He called me today.
I can't wait.
I'm working on a podcast.
joe rogan
I love that guy.
I love him so much.
But New York was a different place, man.
I was around a lot of these weirdo, homeless, grifter-type characters.
A lot of dudes would get arrested for doing three-card money.
The pool hall was like...
The best education of street culture, people who live on the street, I mean.
People who are basically homeless.
Sometimes they'll stay here or there.
My friend Johnny was always staying in people's house.
He stayed at my house for some time.
He would stay in these weird little hostels and flop houses in New York and places that didn't have a roof.
You'd have walls, but there would be no roofs.
Everybody could hear everybody.
tom segura
I remember as a kid in that era, the perception that you had of New York is like, This is nothing but crime.
They were just like, this is dangerous.
You're not allowed to go.
joe rogan
Well, Giuliani, you know, he clamped down on all that shit.
ari shaffir
I remember when I moved and I found a place and I came back to get my stuff and I told Neil Brennan, I was like, I don't think they have bars in my back window.
Do I need that?
He goes, oh, dude, read the crime stats.
It's a different city, though.
It's just not that city anymore.
bert kreischer
Yeah, it's the safest big city in the world.
ari shaffir
It was already safe there.
bert kreischer
97, I mean, I don't remember any crime, although I did get taken in three-card money a number of times.
ari shaffir
But they didn't force you.
bert kreischer
Anytime I saw three-card money, you know my brain, I'm like, I fucking got this.
I fucking put money down.
joe rogan
Hilarious.
bert kreischer
Dude, that, and they used to have this game where they had a nail and a piece of board, and you had a hammer, and you had three shots to get the nail in.
ari shaffir
They have that in Thailand.
bert kreischer
Dude, I do that every fucking time.
unidentified
It's so hard.
joe rogan
There were so many hustlers.
There were so many hustlers, right?
Back in those days in New York.
So many people trying to get off some kind of scam.
tom segura
Yeah, I've been scammed by a driver in New York.
unidentified
How?
What?
tom segura
Like, this was not even that long ago.
I mean, it was probably like seven, eight years.
No, like, you get in the cab, and you're like, you know, if you don't live there, but you kind of know, like, the layout, you're just like, basically, I want to go up, you know, 20 blocks this way, right?
And the guy...
Just goes across town and starts going up the opposite highway from where we were.
I'm like, what are we doing exactly?
ari shaffir
You could track yourself on your phone.
tom segura
Yeah, I'm just looking at it like, what are we doing?
I go, couldn't you have just gone up that avenue that we were on?
He was like, I don't know what's going on, man.
I go, this is fucking outrageous.
And then when we pull up, I see the meter going.
I'm like, this is crazy.
That was supposed to be a 10-minute drive, and it's taking 40 minutes.
He goes, just pay me whatever you want to pay me.
ari shaffir
What?
tom segura
Yeah, and I go, okay.
joe rogan
It's because he didn't want to get caught.
tom segura
Yeah, and I go, okay.
So I go, like, the thing said, like, $68, and I was like, here's 20 bucks.
He's like, that's it?
I go, you said we want to pay.
That's what I want to pay.
So, I'll see you, man.
Yeah, but he was totally...
joe rogan
And he was cool with it?
tom segura
Yeah, because he totally did fuck me.
unidentified
He scammed you.
joe rogan
He scammed you.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I did that in Israel once, in Jerusalem.
When I got there, I took a...
I was like, take me to B'nai Brock.
And I didn't realize I was three blocks over.
He just told me, like, oh, it's right there, dude.
But instead he took me around the city and then let me off.
And then when I wanted to go home afterwards, I was like, what?
It's right here!
tom segura
That's how you find out.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that's how you find out.
tom segura
I found out on my way on that cab ride because I started texting people at the next place.
I was like, I was just leaving here, and I'm going to see you.
Should I be on the fucking highway?
bert kreischer
Do I need my passport?
tom segura
Yeah, and they're like, no.
bert kreischer
See, you didn't speak Spanish in that moment?
tom segura
He was not from...
bert kreischer
See, I would have taken...
I would have taken...
I would have gone right to Spanish.
Gone to a language that makes me feel powerful.
tom segura
Nigerian.
bert kreischer
I got pickpocketed in Florence, and I went into Russian.
Everything...
Every word I knew in Russian, I yelled at the guy.
And he ran.
ari shaffir
Because he was like, I don't know what I'm doing.
bert kreischer
He was like, Russians are fucking animals.
joe rogan
You should have yelled out, America, you fucking traitor.
You should have yelled out, America, and take your fucking shirt off, and said, I'm the machine, and started running after him.
ari shaffir
Trump, motherfucker, what?
bert kreischer
And then my wife yells up behind me.
He's more scared of you than you are now.
ari shaffir
He doesn't do cocaine!
bert kreischer
He doesn't do cocaine!
unidentified
He's afraid of cocaine!
He's a type of pressure!
joe rogan
Ah, that's hilarious.
You should write that down.
You should write that down.
You should write that whole thing down about you talking about on the radio.
That is hilarious.
You should totally be doing that on stage.
tom segura
Then, because the audience is going to be like, so wait, what do you do?
Then you pull out coke and you do a bump.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
And then you start making no sense and then blood comes out of your nose.
tom segura
Dude, it's an awesome show.
ari shaffir
You can do meth if you want if you don't want to do the coke that night.
joe rogan
You take your high blood pressure medication on stage in front of the crowd.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
You know what I'd love to start growing is cocoa plants.
The kind where you just chew the leaves.
joe rogan
I don't think you can grow them here.
I don't think the climate's suitable.
ari shaffir
You can get there.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I bet you can get some.
You could organize a closet with some heat lamps and shit.
joe rogan
Do you think so?
ari shaffir
Yeah, for sure.
bert kreischer
Just to chew a little bit.
joe rogan
Let's find out.
How many people are growing their own coca leaves in the United States?
ari shaffir
I don't think anyone would want to.
joe rogan
Why not?
I would love to.
tom segura
I think you need so much of it.
To make cocaine.
bert kreischer
You just make those Peruvian leaves.
ari shaffir
You just want to be like one of those bears.
joe rogan
I feel like people would be doing that.
bert kreischer
I would love to talk to Aubrey Marcus.
joe rogan
The crazy thing is when you chew those leaves, it's actually not bad for you at all.
tom segura
It's great.
And the tea, the coca tea is great.
joe rogan
I've had that.
tom segura
Yeah.
That'll settle your nausea, you know, especially when you get to like...
I'm serious.
Everyone starts drinking it.
bert kreischer
Sign me up.
tom segura
It's great.
joe rogan
Isn't it crazy that everybody just thinks of this one thing as the processed, chemicalized fucking version that Scarface and...
I mean, how many people have died because of cocaine?
tom segura
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Good Lord.
How many murders?
Is there another drug on the planet that has inspired more murders than cocaine?
ari shaffir
Yeah, right?
bert kreischer
I would love to know murders versus number of dicks sucked for it.
ari shaffir
Oh, that'd be good.
tom segura
So many dicks sucked.
joe rogan
Way more dicks sucked.
Man, if everybody got murdered every time they did coke, they don't.
But a lot of people get their dicks sucked when they don't coke.
It might not be everybody, but it's like 30%.
Because girls can't afford Coke, too, if they're young and they're partying and they're out and some fucking guy comes along with a fat Tracy Morgan-like gold chain.
tom segura
That's how good Coke is, though.
That's how good it is, right?
That people are like, for sure, I'll just blow this stranger to have that.
joe rogan
I knew guys who would get Coke that didn't do Coke.
They would get Coke just so they have Coke.
ari shaffir
So have it around for those whore women.
joe rogan
If girls want a coke.
tom segura
Wow.
joe rogan
Because some girls, when they want coke, they're like, I am calling somebody and I'm going to get some fucking coke and I'm going to leave here.
tom segura
Wow.
unidentified
Hold on.
Hold on.
ari shaffir
We got some coke.
joe rogan
Next thing you know, there's a goddamn orgy going on.
unidentified
Yee-haw!
ari shaffir
Some of it's just girls are like, oh, I know my blowjob is worse stuff, so what can I get out of it?
What am I looking for?
My brother-in-law told me that he went to Woodstock 2, you know, like, what, 20 years ago, whatever it was?
And he said, this guy got out of, one of his friends got out of a long line.
This is an Orthodox Jew.
Got out of a long line with a bunch of food.
Like, it took forever to get through concessions.
And she goes, look, I'm not waiting on the line.
I'll blow you for that food.
And he goes, yeah, sure, let's do it.
unidentified
Wow.
tom segura
Absolutely.
joe rogan
She sucked his dick for food.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
tom segura
For food.
ari shaffir
She's hungry.
That's like your chimps.
unidentified
She's hungry.
joe rogan
She's got a little extra protein.
How?
We had Be Real from Cypress Hill.
He was showing us the footage of him on stage crowd surfing.
He was on stage in Woodstock.
Half a million people in the fucking crowd.
And then goes out into the crowd, crowd surfs, and they stole his sneakers.
They took his sneakers and both people, both left and the right sneaker, they came to one of his shows and he signed it in the future.
Dude, I got your shoe from Woodstock.
He signed it.
He's like, fuck yeah, and he signed it.
tom segura
That's crazy.
joe rogan
It's the video of him on stage in front of half a million people.
It is insane.
tom segura
I love how they, the Flanders Hill, have not wavered at all from their day one.
Not at all.
All day.
If you open their Instagram right now, it's just like, check it out.
You're fucking 30 years deep into this shit.
joe rogan
They don't fuck around at all.
Cypress Hill's Instagram, half of it is weed videos with Cypress Hill music in the background.
ari shaffir
It's crazy.
joe rogan
It's just videos of people doing wax and dabs and bong hits with Cypress Hill in the background.
tom segura
That first album was so good.
joe rogan
So good.
bert kreischer
Do you think they get high the way we get high?
joe rogan
Dude, I know they do.
I went with them.
They get way higher than us.
ari shaffir
No, no, but I'm saying, are they out of it?
joe rogan
No, man.
tom segura
Look, he's fine.
joe rogan
I did his show.
He's got that show called The Smoke Box.
In the car.
bert kreischer
By the way, can I just say...
tom segura
I thought you were an old Chinese guy.
joe rogan
I was barbecued.
I wasn't even there.
bert kreischer
Are you serious?
joe rogan
I was in another dimension.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
See, I would just have a panic attack.
tom segura
I saw a picture of you and it looked like you were.
joe rogan
I was like, oh.
We smoked so much before we ever got in the car.
I was like, I can't believe we're going to keep going.
tom segura
And he's like totally normal.
joe rogan
Oh, as normal as can be, son.
He's a professional stoner.
tom segura
Him, send dog, mugs, they're just fine.
unidentified
Yep.
bert kreischer
That's not me.
That's me with booze, though.
I could definitely probably...
I always try to think of the celebrity I could go beer to beer for and then really hurt them.
joe rogan
Most of them.
bert kreischer
Post Malone.
tom segura
You think you could take them down?
Oh, you could take them down.
bert kreischer
He's a child.
joe rogan
He's a young guy with scribbles on his face.
bert kreischer
Dude, he's an awesome...
He's a great fucking musician.
His musician's awesome.
His tattoos are questionable.
joe rogan
They're odd.
tom segura
Who do you think could really fucking take it down?
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
You know what I mean?
bert kreischer
Who can drink you heavily?
I've thought about this a lot.
If I go for their cocktail, and I've got to match them cocktail to cocktail, I can keep pace with Stan Hope.
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
That's a big one.
bert kreischer
I can keep pace with Stan Hope.
unidentified
Jesus.
bert kreischer
Stan Hope doesn't drink as much as everyone thinks.
He just drinks...
ari shaffir
Every day.
bert kreischer
Constantly.
tom segura
Consistent.
bert kreischer
A lot of it's light beer, too, right?
Yeah.
joe rogan
He drinks a lot of light beer.
bert kreischer
St. Helms, oddly enough, a lot healthier than I think people assume.
Ron White would be a tough one.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Ron White told me he gets fucked up every night of the week.
ari shaffir
That's possible.
joe rogan
It's like every night of the week.
tom segura
Every night I go to Access.
joe rogan
Every night.
Every night.
That's all I know how to do.
unidentified
Damn.
bert kreischer
But he looks like a million dollars.
tom segura
He looks better now than he did 10 years ago.
joe rogan
He's a happy man, I'll tell you that.
tom segura
He looks great.
ari shaffir
He's 38 years old.
unidentified
So boys, we're brought here for a reason.
joe rogan
Not just to talk shit.
ari shaffir
Jesus.
joe rogan
We're trying to figure out how to do Sober October this year.
ari shaffir
What are we going to do for Sober October?
bert kreischer
I already have the answer, and I think it's early for me to say it now, so I'll wait until the end.
joe rogan
Oh, you son of a bastard.
ari shaffir
Do you have your thoughts?
bert kreischer
I know exactly what we're doing.
ari shaffir
The sober part is happening, though, right?
The sober part is sober.
bert kreischer
Yeah, we're going sober.
Tom's got an aggressive schedule.
joe rogan
I think we should go to no coffee.
bert kreischer
Okay.
tom segura
Ooh, really?
bert kreischer
Ooh, step it up.
ari shaffir
That's not sobriety, but I'm fine with that.
I drink a least amount of coffee.
joe rogan
Because I think we should make it harder.
No booze, no alcohol.
It's easy.
ari shaffir
No coffee is its own thing.
bert kreischer
Ooh, no water.
joe rogan
It's not sober.
You're not sober.
You're on a mild stimulant.
I think it's cheating.
bert kreischer
I think we should go no coffee.
I like no coffee.
joe rogan
I like no coffee.
No coffee.
unidentified
Only water.
bert kreischer
Wait, wait, wait.
joe rogan
How about you can only drink water the whole month?
unidentified
Jesus.
ari shaffir
No other drinks?
bert kreischer
Oh.
I'm fucking in.
joe rogan
No other drinks.
tom segura
Sparks and water.
unidentified
Would you fuck?
joe rogan
You can't have carbonated water?
Come on, bro.
tom segura
Come on, man.
ari shaffir
You can have carbonated water.
It's just water.
tom segura
I'm ramping up.
ari shaffir
No, that works.
bert kreischer
I like where you're going with this joke.
joe rogan
I'm ramping up.
Yeah, it's fine.
I'm ready to go to war.
ari shaffir
Wait.
Only water and carbonated water.
joe rogan
Yep.
tom segura
I'll do that.
ari shaffir
Oh, so no coffee.
So you wouldn't have milk in your coffee.
Wow.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
No lying, bro.
We should go carnivore diet all month.
Nothing but ribeye steaks.
unidentified
All right.
ari shaffir
Relax.
joe rogan
Why not?
ari shaffir
Because.
bert kreischer
I'm willing to negotiate with what I think our challenge should be for what you think our restrictions should be.
joe rogan
Well, what do you think the challenge should be?
ari shaffir
I have an idea of what challenge should be.
tom segura
Wait, you have an idea?
What's yours?
ari shaffir
This is about health, right?
tom segura
Yes.
ari shaffir
Health?
joe rogan
What do you want it to be?
ari shaffir
I think it should be, if mental health is a legit part of health...
You should give up your fucking dopamine fucking addictions.
joe rogan
You mean cell phones?
ari shaffir
Yeah, get rid of your cell phones and your social media for a month.
I get why you wouldn't do it because of your career.
You can email your fucking ladies to fucking post shit for you.
unidentified
Ladies!
bert kreischer
I enjoy social media.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I know!
unidentified
Oh, I don't enjoy booze!
It's not about not enjoying it.
tom segura
I think you have a good point with this.
I do.
I really do.
I think about you sometimes when I feel like I've been on a flight or in a hotel room and I'm like, I think I've been looking at my phone for like three hours.
ari shaffir
And haven't gone out.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
I just think it takes the connective tissue away from this challenge to the people that enjoy watching this challenge.
I think a lot of people enjoy our show.
ari shaffir
For sure, that will be a problem.
I mean, they won't be able to join in with us.
joe rogan
I'm ready to break my phone with a rock.
Let's do it.
bert kreischer
And then November 1st, everyone's like, oh yeah, you guys did Sober October.
I forgot about that.
ari shaffir
I could get each of you, and I'll tell.
And I understand, I'm not like Joe, who says do what I do, and then I'll just fucking have an easy time of it.
I will go with no cell phones.
I will do beyond what I already do.
joe rogan
I didn't do what you guys did, though.
Even though I did some yoga.
unidentified
You were already doing yoga every day.
You slowed it down to join us.
joe rogan
But that was no challenge.
I know it was no challenge!
unidentified
It was a challenge for us!
It was only a challenge for you!
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
It wasn't a challenge in that there was no contest.
If it was I had to do yoga the most.
unidentified
Oh, right, right, right.
joe rogan
Maybe that's it.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it's the most 90-minute yoga class.
ari shaffir
No, for fuck's sake.
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I like that.
bert kreischer
How many kills the most elks?
unidentified
It's time to go to war.
bert kreischer
Whoever kills the most elks and can reverse steer them.
tom segura
It's time to go to war.
So you hear his mental health.
It's a good point.
We definitely look at these fucking things together.
ari shaffir
You can also get a legit real camera if you wanted.
Film stuff.
Give it to your fucking assistant.
tom segura
And have it posted.
So you could have it posted.
ari shaffir
Figure this out and post whatever you need to.
joe rogan
How about this?
How about this?
We run the most miles in a month.
tom segura
Is track it?
Yep, we track it.
joe rogan
We run.
ari shaffir
Let me just go for a baseline right now.
How many miles a month do you run right now?
tom segura
It's up there, man.
ari shaffir
Okay, what about you, Bert?
bert kreischer
It's up there!
joe rogan
It has to be real running.
I want it on GPS. I don't want that bullshit on a fucking treadmill.
bert kreischer
The Rock's got new shoes with a Bluetooth capability in them.
joe rogan
We'll wear The Rock's underwear shoes.
We're going to run for miles.
ari shaffir
That's not shit you're already doing.
joe rogan
I'm only running hills, man.
tom segura
How many miles do you run when you go for a run now?
joe rogan
It's no more than an hour, hour and 15 minutes.
ari shaffir
It's like half a marathon right there.
joe rogan
No.
tom segura
Up hills?
bert kreischer
Up hills he's probably running six miles.
joe rogan
I'm running some steep shit.
It's more sprinting.
There's a lot of plyometrics.
It's more like that.
You're not just flat running.
At a steady pace.
tom segura
So do you sprint, run, walk?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm chasing my dog, too.
I'm trying to make it hard.
I pretend things are chasing me.
I play little games in my head.
ari shaffir
That's nice.
joe rogan
I pretend I have to get to the top where everyone I know dies.
tom segura
Yeah, you're good at this.
bert kreischer
Just give me a hint of that brain.
Whatever you got in your brain, give it to me a little bit when I work out.
joe rogan
You don't want it.
Yeah, because it ramps up.
It ramps up.
I was ready to go to work.
You know how crazy we were going, guys?
We were working out like six, seven hours a day.
tom segura
Yeah, it was terrible, man.
ari shaffir
But the whole time, I was like, I do zero working out.
joe rogan
You got jacked.
unidentified
You did great.
bert kreischer
You looked great, Ari.
joe rogan
Ari, when you were here, when we were like three weeks into the month, and you were here, we did a podcast together, and you used my fucking rower, you did an hour on the rower.
And you were ripped.
You have a six-pack.
I was like, look at this motherfucker.
bert kreischer
That was pretty impressive.
joe rogan
An hour on the rower is real work.
That's real work.
tom segura
You were not going to not get second.
ari shaffir
I was not going to go last.
That's why I did not want to go last.
bert kreischer
Here's what I'm hearing.
Ari wants to do a challenge that he already excels at.
I get it.
No, no, no, no, no.
tom segura
You're already off your fucking phone.
bert kreischer
And your complaint about Joe is that he keeps logging in things that he is good at.
So, I will take care of this.
Sister and gentlemen, are you ready?
unidentified
We're here.
ari shaffir
Let's hear it.
bert kreischer
This year's Sober October Physical Challenge.
ari shaffir
Why are you presenting it like a fucking presidential candidate?
joe rogan
It's like an apple.
ari shaffir
When I win.
tom segura
It's going to be good.
bert kreischer
Hip-hop dance.
unidentified
Get the fuck out of here.
bert kreischer
Hip-hop dance.
Joe, hear me out.
Joe, hear me out.
joe rogan
I was like a broken arm.
You can't even spin.
bert kreischer
Let me soft sell you.
Let me soft sell you, okay?
We each get a choreographer and we work dance classes as much as we can.
Dance classes are pretty aggressive.
joe rogan
And would we leave it to the audience to vote?
bert kreischer
Hear me out.
When?
ari shaffir
Starting when?
bert kreischer
I like that idea, Joe.
We can do that.
Now hear me out.
ari shaffir
Starting when?
bert kreischer
First of October.
That's what you do on a pitch.
You make them think it was their idea.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
joe rogan
I want you to look over at that belt.
You're never getting that belt.
bert kreischer
Hold on.
Hold on one second.
Guys, hear me out.
Everyone listen to me.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you should wear that for this.
tom segura
This could be good.
bert kreischer
Oh, shit.
unidentified
He's putting the fucking belt on.
bert kreischer
Oh, okay.
joe rogan
Alright.
I haven't even touched this thing since October.
ari shaffir
Same as me with any sort of running.
tom segura
It's a dope belt, man.
bert kreischer
We each gotta go to dance classes to get our skills set up.
We each work with a choreographer to create our own dance to the exact same song.
joe rogan
Let me know when you're done.
bert kreischer
At the end?
At the end?
At the end, by the way, I'm selling this to the room.
ari shaffir
Are you threading that through your jeans?
joe rogan
No, it has to get popped.
It's like snaps in the back.
It's a legit belt.
bert kreischer
It's like snaps.
I have a hard time putting belts on, too.
At the end of the month, come November 1st, we each submit our one-minute hip-hop dance choreography video, and the fans vote on who the winner of Sober October is.
Gentlemen, I would like to hear your butles, starting with Tom Segura.
tom segura
I gotta tell you, you sort of mentioned this.
bert kreischer
Your rebuttals.
ari shaffir
Okay.
bert kreischer
Punk holes in it.
tom segura
Yeah, you sort of mentioned that.
I'll tell you what I like about it.
Because it's easy to say what I don't like about anything that comes out of your mouth.
So, what I don't like about it, or what I do like about it, is that no one's great at it.
I do like that it is a workout because those dancers are in unbelievable fucking shape.
ari shaffir
Who do you think is the number one dancer right now?
bert kreischer
Me, obviously.
ari shaffir
I'm going to guess third first, Joe second.
tom segura
It's not even close.
What are you talking about?
It's definitely me.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
I'm a way better dancer than you guys.
Are you out of your fucking mind?
bert kreischer
Just because you speak Spanish doesn't mean you're a better dancer.
joe rogan
Do you know how to dance?
unidentified
No, but I know I'm a better dancer than you guys.
ari shaffir
What a fucking bitch.
joe rogan
You know that's true.
ari shaffir
I'll give you that.
joe rogan
Listen, I could do a lot of crazy shit with my body you guys can't do.
tom segura
That's true.
But I'm saying rhythm?
ari shaffir
Come on.
Rhythm?
tom segura
You have rhythm?
joe rogan
Yes.
tom segura
Alright.
bert kreischer
Wait, hold on.
You have rhythm.
tom segura
I know I do.
I'm fucking phenomenal at dancing.
bert kreischer
Keep poking holes in my idea.
tom segura
Joe, you get to close it down.
What I'm saying is that nobody excels.
I mean, obviously I'm better than you, but nobody excels.
So, I like the idea of working at something that no one's great at, and...
joe rogan
Oh, that's me dancing.
Oh, that's right.
I danced in a movie.
I was in the movie Zookeeper.
Yeah, I took dance classes.
tom segura
Oh, alright.
joe rogan
I danced my ass off, bitch.
ari shaffir
I love how the movies make it seem normal that that guy could get that girl.
joe rogan
I know.
bert kreischer
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Let's see, Joe!
tom segura
Okay.
joe rogan
Bro, I learned how to dance.
Like, legitimately.
I mean, I'm not good or anything.
bert kreischer
Joe, this is hip-hop dance we're talking about.
Look at his face.
unidentified
It's intense.
joe rogan
Bro, I don't know how to dance.
Come on, son.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah, you do pretty good there.
tom segura
You actually are pretty good.
joe rogan
Dude, I took fucking dance lessons.
I had to do it for weeks.
ari shaffir
Who are you dancing with?
Nikki Glaser?
joe rogan
Leslie Bibb.
She's from Talladega Nights.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, she's great.
joe rogan
She's great.
Very, very funny person, too.
bert kreischer
I think this sounds like a done deal.
Wait, wait.
tom segura
Here's the last thing.
The last thing that is great.
bert kreischer
Okay.
tom segura
So, everybody gets to work at it.
Nobody excels too much at it.
I think it's funny that we're comics and we get to look silly doing something, like not look great at it.
And I'm on board with, I think it's fun that people that watch that or get really into it would have a say in it.
ari shaffir
Okay, I'm the only one of the three of us who's not obese, so it would look the least silly for me to doing it.
I'm medically obese.
I think that's science.
joe rogan
It's all about the BMI, son.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's all about the BMI. My BMI is off the charts.
tom segura
Wait, you're saying that you are into it or not?
ari shaffir
I'm saying I would look the least silly just in terms of that.
But you guys, I get why you look silly just moving at all.
joe rogan
You look the least silly?
ari shaffir
No, I'm not a fucking fat man doing it.
joe rogan
But you break yourself always.
You're always breaking.
ari shaffir
Yeah, break yourself before you...
joe rogan
You break ankles and elbows and shit.
You're always breaking things.
ari shaffir
I am breaking stuff.
That's key.
joe rogan
You're super fucking vulnerable.
ari shaffir
I am.
That's a good point.
What about injury?
What's injury going to do at this point?
unidentified
You're not durable.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
Dance classes are intense.
tom segura
Do you really think you're the current best dancer?
bert kreischer
Easily.
ari shaffir
I think Bart is.
tom segura
Easily.
ari shaffir
He's the one who's out of bars the most.
bert kreischer
Yeah, I dance the most out of all of us.
ari shaffir
I agree.
bert kreischer
And so the dance classes are tough.
We each get ourselves choreographers, and we create our own dance to the exact song.
joe rogan
Don't get too hyped up.
unidentified
Wait, wait.
joe rogan
Wait for me to talk about this.
ari shaffir
Okay, but the amount of molly I would have to do to enjoy that dancing.
joe rogan
But you can't be sober.
ari shaffir
But I can't be sober.
tom segura
But you can November 1st.
Is that when we post it?
joe rogan
Yeah, but the whole idea is the dance part.
Dancing sober, bro.
unidentified
That's true.
joe rogan
Sober.
Dancing sober.
Here's problems with it.
Problem number one, it's subjective.
You can't have something subjective.
unidentified
You can't have something, oh, I think Tom danced better, oh, I think Ari danced better.
joe rogan
You can't have a bunch of morons vote for it.
ari shaffir
Okay, okay, let me break this down.
Finish up, I'm going to write straight down.
tom segura
What if, what if?
ari shaffir
Finish up, I'll erase this.
tom segura
What if the dance pros got together?
ari shaffir
That's what I was saying.
Professionals.
joe rogan
What, they judge?
tom segura
Well, yeah, they're experts.
unidentified
They like you better.
joe rogan
They like Bert better.
They like me better.
You don't want that.
ari shaffir
No, Olympic judges.
joe rogan
What?
Those guys are corrupt.
unidentified
Olympic judges are the most corrupt people in all of sports.
joe rogan
They literally get investigated.
They literally go to jail.
ari shaffir
But so we have to agree no bribing the fucking bribable Olympic judges.
joe rogan
No, no, nothing subjective.
We gotta grind.
unidentified
Mm-mm.
bert kreischer
Dance is cool.
joe rogan
We've got to make it uncomfortable.
We've got to make it super uncomfortable.
tom segura
That's pretty uncomfortable.
bert kreischer
Dance classes.
joe rogan
It's alright.
bert kreischer
It's just boring.
joe rogan
There's something about the fitness challenges that are more exciting to me.
ari shaffir
Yeah, because you're doing fitness all the time.
joe rogan
I wonder what that is.
I'll do something you guys don't do.
A fitness challenge you guys don't do.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
Or that I don't do, rather.
bert kreischer
Right.
ari shaffir
Okay, that's what you're trying to say.
joe rogan
That I don't ever do.
I'll ride bikes.
I don't give a fuck.
unidentified
Hmm.
bert kreischer
Ride bikes?
joe rogan
Ride bikes everywhere.
Ride bikes to the store.
tom segura
Accessible?
joe rogan
Ride bikes to the improv.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but Tom's in Europe.
joe rogan
Ride a bike, bitch.
tom segura
I'm in Europe in October.
joe rogan
A lot of those countries over there.
ari shaffir
Have you scheduled an Australian tour to cancel yet?
tom segura
It's coming up.
I'm announcing it soon.
bert kreischer
When do you cancel it?
tom segura
I'll cancel close.
joe rogan
Why are you going to cancel it?
tom segura
I've canceled before.
bert kreischer
Before?
unidentified
Just once, though.
bert kreischer
Just once?
I think it was twice.
joe rogan
A couple times?
It was twice.
Did you get sick?
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
The only time it's been in Australia was opening for you with a UFC ticket.
unidentified
Really?
tom segura
No, I went also another time.
I did the Melbourne Festival.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, I'm in Auckland June 15th.
This is Sydney June 20th.
joe rogan
You're giving out dates.
ari shaffir
That's right when I'll be in Columbus.
unidentified
I know there's a bunch of people that are like, we want to be able to vote.
ari shaffir
We want to what?
Be able to vote.
joe rogan
No one's stealing this.
You're going to have to earn this motherfucker.
tom segura
So you're saying this?
bert kreischer
You're thinking hip-hop.
joe rogan
This is mine.
tom segura
So the flaw.
joe rogan
I like it.
I like it.
I'm going to keep it.
I'm going to keep this.
This is mine.
tom segura
The flaw, he's saying, is that there's not like a clear, right, that it's subjective.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't leave it in the hands of the judges.
Get the fuck out of here.
That's rule number one for fighting.
Never leave it in the hands of the judges.
bert kreischer
Okay.
joe rogan
It's not rule number one.
It's probably like rule number one.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's down there.
First is like, you know, watch out for leg sweeps.
unidentified
Keep your hands up.
ari shaffir
Keep your hands up at number one.
bert kreischer
Don't smile at celebrities in the audience.
joe rogan
Yeah, do your cardio.
Don't eat like shit.
ari shaffir
I would love to see those guys day one of jiu-jitsu.
He's like, can we leave this in the judges?
unidentified
He's like, Dude, just fucking worry about locking up half guard.
Rule number one is don't leave it to the judges.
joe rogan
I need to know.
unidentified
Ugh.
Ugh.
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's funny.
unidentified
Fuck.
tom segura
I was really behind your dance idea.
ari shaffir
Hip-hop dancing would be tough.
I do have a gym.
There's a place right nearby me.
bert kreischer
Joe, I think you're overestimating your dance skills.
Hip-hop dance.
joe rogan
It's not dance skills.
I'll learn them.
ari shaffir
Would it be the amount of time in the gym?
joe rogan
No, I know how to move my body better.
I'll learn them.
bert kreischer
You know how to move your body better?
joe rogan
For sure.
You don't think I know how to move my body better than you can move yours?
ari shaffir
Do you think we get Shakira to judge?
joe rogan
Do you know how crazy that is for you to even say that?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you know how crazy it is for you to say that my physical dexterity and your physical dexterity are the same?
They're the same.
bert kreischer
I don't know what you're talking about, Joe.
I dance all the time.
ari shaffir
Joe, can you weave a wobble?
joe rogan
If I got through that challenge and you came in last like you did with this last one...
unidentified
Yes!
ari shaffir
Why has that not been talked about enough?
joe rogan
We would have to put a sock in a fucking, with a lock in it, like a bike lock, and beat your ass.
bert kreischer
I'm cool with punishment for this.
I'm cool with punishment for this.
tom segura
That's a good idea.
joe rogan
A bar of soap, right?
Like a full metal jacket.
tom segura
Real punishment.
joe rogan
Code red.
bert kreischer
Code red.
joe rogan
Beat you out with a bar of soap and a sock.
bert kreischer
In hip-hop dance.
tom segura
I think this is...
joe rogan
Even Matthew Modine got in on that, remember?
tom segura
Yeah, he did.
That's right.
joe rogan
He hit him, too.
He felt bad about it.
ari shaffir
I don't know if this is a real thing.
joe rogan
You don't know what's the real thing.
tom segura
I think you need to keep pushing how you think you guys are the same.
joe rogan
Hip-hop dancing.
ari shaffir
Skateboarding challenge?
unidentified
That'll work.
ari shaffir
That's all judges.
joe rogan
I could see us going through all these fucking things, and Bird at the end was like, well, you guys beat me, I can't believe it.
Like, you motherfucker, you're talking shit the whole month, talking shit the whole month, and you came in last.
bert kreischer
That's my game plan.
ari shaffir
That's a good point.
bert kreischer
I'm sandbagging you guys for the next challenge.
joe rogan
There's no sandbags, son.
ari shaffir
You fell apart.
joe rogan
You fell apart.
bert kreischer
Dude, I fell apart.
joe rogan
When Ari started posting these giant, he was on the bike for four hours.
Like, what?
bert kreischer
That would fuck my head up.
ari shaffir
Tom got sick.
So bad.
joe rogan
We started off slow.
We started off with like 200 points.
It was a good day.
ari shaffir
It was like that scene in Big when Lovitz is telling, what's his name?
He's like, hey, slow down, slow down, slow down.
You're going to make us all look bad.
joe rogan
We didn't know how crazy anybody was going to take it.
ari shaffir
We don't know how much we hated each other to really drive us to not be...
joe rogan
Well, I don't know how you looked at it, but I love you guys.
ari shaffir
I love you guys, too.
joe rogan
I just thought it was a fun competition.
What the fuck, Ari?
ari shaffir
Stand by it.
joe rogan
What was the most amount of points you ever put in in a day?
tom segura
My biggest point day was...
joe rogan
You ran 13 miles one day.
tom segura
One day, yeah.
ari shaffir
Oh, broken up.
joe rogan
No.
tom segura
No, just, I mean, like...
ari shaffir
Just kept going.
tom segura
I did it in the hills and, you know, just kept...
I ran, like, to another city.
Came back.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, he ran 13 fucking miles.
That was after he was sick for a week.
tom segura
Yeah, that's what I did.
joe rogan
We almost dropped off.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I was like, oh, he's done.
Cool.
bert kreischer
That's when we took the foot off the gas pedal.
Fucking Tommy sandbagged us.
joe rogan
But why did you take the foot off the gas pedal?
ari shaffir
We should have waited until he was done.
bert kreischer
Are you talking to me?
ari shaffir
For sure.
bert kreischer
Because Tom was like, I'm sick.
I'm out.
joe rogan
So what?
bert kreischer
And so I was like, Tom's in last.
I don't have to worry.
I'm not in last.
joe rogan
Oh, is that what you were worried about?
bert kreischer
Yeah, so I was like, I was competing with Tom.
Tom and I were neck and neck.
Ari was a fucking cunt.
And we'd just post numbers in the middle of the night.
You'd go to sleep comfortable.
tom segura
But he did that like two thirds in.
unidentified
Oh, dude.
tom segura
He didn't start like that.
ari shaffir
I post in the middle of the night because my gym, Blink Fitness, would allow me to work out 24 hours a day.
So I'd get off work.
tom segura
Yeah, it was fucking ridiculous.
ari shaffir
I'd get off the comedy clubs and I'd fucking go work out at 3am.
unidentified
3am.
bert kreischer
That would fuck my head up, man.
I'd wake up.
tom segura
I know, because you wake up and you're like, Blame Esty!
ari shaffir
Blame Esty for giving me late spots!
It's not my fault.
joe rogan
It's all Esty.
It's tricky, right?
unidentified
There was a lot of gameplay, but here's what I... I realized you guys woke up like, oh, what?
ari shaffir
I'm not in first.
joe rogan
Look at this.
I like this.
bert kreischer
Here's what I... Okay, keep this.
tom segura
I think you guys should do a dance-off anyway.
joe rogan
Well, he does have that incredible physical dexterity.
unidentified
You would need a way for judges to decide, but...
ari shaffir
That's not about working out though, right?
Hip-hop dancing?
bert kreischer
No, hip-hop dancing, if you're going to get good, you're going to be dancing every single day.
unidentified
Ugh.
ari shaffir
Okay, I will tell you, I don't like doing it, but that response...
bert kreischer
That reaction was a good response.
unidentified
Because that's how we felt about everything, Joe.
ari shaffir
Somebody showed me a tweet I made recently, like a year ago.
I'm like, how did we get from Burt can't run a marathon to all going to go straight edge for a month?
bert kreischer
Right.
joe rogan
What the fuck happened?
That's exactly what we got from that.
unidentified
That is true.
joe rogan
It wasn't that Bert couldn't run a marathon.
He couldn't do it faster than your dad did.
An 80-year-old plus Holocaust survivor.
tom segura
But he was also like, I could run a marathon tomorrow.
unidentified
I technically kind of did.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you did.
bert kreischer
I technically did.
I did blow the doors off you guys.
You were really, really amazed.
But I think the real test was that Tom was going to try to roller skate a marathon faster than I could run it.
joe rogan
Oh, that was right.
But he didn't take into account going uphill.
bert kreischer
Or the fact that he has never roller skated.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that's easy to learn.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's pretty flat.
Four wheels.
joe rogan
It's not like it's fucking calculus.
tom segura
But what do you think would have happened on the roller skating part of it?
bert kreischer
After running that marathon?
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
He would have crushed you.
bert kreischer
I think you probably would have beat me.
joe rogan
It was a flat?
bert kreischer
You don't have a chance.
tom segura
LA is pretty flat, right?
bert kreischer
No, hold on.
LA Marathon was uphill downtown, but once you got past the store, you would have been hauling fucking ass down La Cienega.
joe rogan
Yeah, he would have never caught him.
bert kreischer
From cellar to the...
No, but he would have gotten hurt.
He would have gotten hurt.
tom segura
Yeah, a couple of roller skating people reached out to me.
unidentified
Oh, that's true.
tom segura
And they were like...
No, they said, like, your feet are gonna...
You're gonna be in rough fucking shape.
Like, it's not easy, man.
bert kreischer
It would blow out his calves.
joe rogan
Hold on.
ari shaffir
The roller skating people?
unidentified
Yeah, they reached out.
joe rogan
The roller skating people?
unidentified
Dude, I started to get it from...
ari shaffir
Hey, bro, don't take this lightly.
We're warriors.
unidentified
We're warriors.
tom segura
I get it from people that have been doing it for years and also like, what is that, the roller derby people?
They were like, yeah, you gotta be careful.
joe rogan
Well, just think about skiing for five hours.
ari shaffir
Oh, what greatness that would be.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you had to ski for five hours straight without going up lift hills, going up the lifts, Up the hills, if you just skied only on your feet for five hours, I bet you'd be hurting.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you'd be hurt anyway.
Your muscles are all sore.
joe rogan
Yeah, my feet are always hurting after a day of skiing.
Like, Jesus, because you're always like, ah, ah!
Yeah.
tom segura
No, I would have been fucked up, for sure.
joe rogan
You would have got fucked up.
ari shaffir
Did you see me crash, Bert?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I did.
I did.
And then I pulled up and you were like, I don't think it's broken.
Cut to surgery.
joe rogan
How broken is it?
ari shaffir
I put a pin in it.
tom segura
Wait, this is the same cast I saw you with?
ari shaffir
Yeah, the big one.
Yeah, it's down to this now.
joe rogan
So you got a pin in there, like a metal pin?
ari shaffir
A piece broke off.
I have some sort of pin.
joe rogan
You know what's good about that?
Give one more reason to fuck with the people at TSA. You're going to be fucking unbearable.
ari shaffir
My vasectomy did that.
They're like, how come something's going off?
Do you have anything in your pocket?
I'm like, vasectomy.
They're like, what about belt?
I'm like, vasectomy.
And they're like, what do you think it's...
I'm like, I had my dick cut and your fucking stupid thing that the head of this company decided we need to buy points out that I got a vasectomy.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
How does it know you had a vasectomy?
ari shaffir
Because it's a little inconsistent.
It's like a hard thing in there.
Peanut, you want to feel it?
joe rogan
No, I'm kidding.
ari shaffir
It's your choice.
joe rogan
Interesting.
So it's calcified.
You've got a little rock near your dickhole.
ari shaffir
Yeah, so now I'm a fucking terrorist threat.
joe rogan
Damn.
tom segura
Wait, so I want to ask you one thing about your challenge.
bert kreischer
No, we're not doing REs.
tom segura
No, no, no.
I just wanted to ask you something.
You suggest to stay on social media.
joe rogan
That's preposterous.
tom segura
There's not enough of it.
There has to be a second part to that, right?
For the month?
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
joe rogan
A physical challenge.
tom segura
Yeah, there's nothing physical.
joe rogan
Yeah, good point.
tom segura
You know what I mean?
ari shaffir
We would need a second part.
Because that is just a mental problem.
It would, guys, I'm telling you, you're not going to do it.
I know how addicted you are.
You're never going to agree to this.
tom segura
Dancing in videos.
ari shaffir
It would make your lives, you'd be happier and you wouldn't know why.
unidentified
Hmm.
bert kreischer
No, I've been off Twitter pretty much, and I'm exponentially happy.
Twitter just makes me sad and angry.
joe rogan
Reading people fighting is not fun.
ari shaffir
Can I show you something?
joe rogan
Sure.
ari shaffir
Unlock your phone for me.
I won't do anything.
But just unlock it and hand it to me.
I swear I won't do anything bad to you.
I have a code about her.
bert kreischer
Okay.
joe rogan
Riders on the storm.
tom segura
Oh, fuck.
bert kreischer
I'm terrified with what I just gave you.
ari shaffir
You know what I'm going to do?
bert kreischer
No.
joe rogan
I'm going to look up the time usage?
ari shaffir
Yeah, screen time.
bert kreischer
Oh, it's going to be up there.
ari shaffir
Okay, so just today.
bert kreischer
I'm selling tour dates, bro.
ari shaffir
Yeah, okay.
So today of your life, you have a family, you have two kids.
bert kreischer
I started morning radio at 5 in the morning until 11. I'm going to piss.
joe rogan
Hold that thought.
ari shaffir
So while you're on morning radio, you're not using it?
bert kreischer
No, I was using it entirely to look up who I was talking to, where I was at.
ari shaffir
But while you're on there, you're not doing it?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Okay, what time is it right now?
It's 426. Yeah.
Three hours and nine minutes...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Three hours and I minutes above average today.
bert kreischer
Yeah, today was press.
unidentified
Press day.
bert kreischer
I was doing press for the Body Shots World Tour.
unidentified
Okay, sure.
ari shaffir
Last seven days.
bert kreischer
Which starts in September, ends November 23rd.
ari shaffir
Can I tell you?
bert kreischer
Did I mention that I'll be in Auckland?
ari shaffir
You're actually surprising me.
30 minutes a day.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
Dude, I fuck with Instagram a lot.
ari shaffir
Is that on here?
Yeah, Instagram.
An hour and 18 minutes.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
I fuck with Instagram a lot.
ari shaffir
That's it.
What do you do?
bert kreischer
I do.
That's it.
I don't touch Twitter.
I kind of stay away from everything.
ari shaffir
Can I see yours?
tom segura
No.
ari shaffir
How bad is it?
tom segura
Today's not that bad.
ari shaffir
Look up screen time for the week.
bert kreischer
Are there totally days I'm totally off my phone?
ari shaffir
You don't touch it at all?
bert kreischer
I'll record stuff and post it, but I don't read comments and stuff.
That can fuck your head up.
Twitter can be aggressive sometimes.
ari shaffir
Wasn't it fun how great it used to be?
bert kreischer
Oh, dude, I remember that.
ari shaffir
News and fun jokes.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I can't.
Dude, my whole thing's about I only use stuff to promote tour dates.
That's it, really.
ari shaffir
Tour dates like?
bert kreischer
Like Oxford on the 15th of June.
tom segura
I did an hour of social networking, it says.
ari shaffir
Yeah?
What about in seven days?
tom segura
Seven days?
ari shaffir
Seven days.
tom segura
Okay, hold on.
bert kreischer
Hey, let's get more cocktails.
ari shaffir
I'm down.
Those boomers are kicking it up.
bert kreischer
Hey, wait.
How are we going to fucking switch him over to fucking hip-hop dance?
ari shaffir
Slowly.
tom segura
Slowly.
bert kreischer
It starts with me thinking I have better dexterity than that.
ari shaffir
It's a lot.
How much are you at right now?
unidentified
How much are you at?
bert kreischer
You have two kids?
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
ari shaffir
You have two kids?
tom segura
But let me preemptively say.
unidentified
Oh, sure.
tom segura
I was on a bus for the last seven days.
ari shaffir
Sure, so that's a good...
tom segura
But I'm saying not home.
ari shaffir
Not home.
bert kreischer
We're checking our amount of usage online on our phones.
tom segura
So that's legit.
bert kreischer
And right now, mine's at 30 minutes a day.
tom segura
Every day on a bus.
ari shaffir
By the way, this time could be spent reading a book or doing something.
bert kreischer
30 minutes a day?
joe rogan
I guess it's not.
bert kreischer
No.
ari shaffir
30 minutes a day, I think, is pretty low.
bert kreischer
What's Tom's?
What's Tom's?
ari shaffir
Six hours and 34 minutes a day.
tom segura
On a bus!
I'm on a bus.
ari shaffir
I get your board, but there's a far better way to spend your time than six hours of those days.
tom segura
You have to kind of look at it like this, too.
I'm sitting on this bus with a fucking thousand movies you can choose from, and I do this all the time, where I roll through, like, I'm going to watch a movie, which is like a normal thing to kill an hour and a half, two hours.
And I'm like, none of these interest me.
I'm going to spend that time doing this, right?
Looking at emails, looking at social media, looking at YouTube videos.
If I'm saying that you can knock off easily two hours...
And there'd be two hours spent just mindlessly staring at something else that you wouldn't have a record of.
ari shaffir
Writing or thinking.
tom segura
Yes, that's true.
But you're saying that none of that occurred.
bert kreischer
Or learning hip-hop dance.
ari shaffir
No, I will say this.
When you're bored and you're looking out a window on a tour bus, eventually, not in the first 10 minutes, but maybe between 10 minutes, 30, a minute, 40, your mind's like, fuck, we're so bored.
And then you start writing bit ideas.
tom segura
Yeah, that's true.
ari shaffir
And you're just not even thinking about those times because you're on there.
tom segura
That's true.
joe rogan
It's 100% true.
tom segura
Wait, so what's yours?
Eight minutes?
ari shaffir
I would have to get my iPad out.
tom segura
Do you know what yours is?
ari shaffir
Yeah, take it out.
Let's see.
bert kreischer
Ari's is surprisingly high because he uses his...
When he's not...
tom segura
What's your seven day, though?
bert kreischer
I have no idea.
ari shaffir
Seven day was 30 minutes.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Today was three hours and a half, but his seven day was 30 minutes a day.
bert kreischer
I'm sorry, I averaged 30 minutes a day.
ari shaffir
What's the under?
joe rogan
What's the under?
ari shaffir
You have a second phone?
tom segura
Use the search part and just put screen time.
ari shaffir
That doesn't even make sense mathematically.
Yeah, there's no way.
Good job, Tommy.
You're absolutely right.
unidentified
That three hours and 35 minutes today would be...
You would have to only have used that all day.
ari shaffir
It's a brand new phone.
unidentified
That's why.
Even when you said 30 minutes, I was like, how the fuck is that possible?
I'll show you where it is.
joe rogan
Two hours and six minutes.
ari shaffir
That's too much.
That's too much of your life.
joe rogan
Well, I was in the doctor's office today.
ari shaffir
Probably why.
joe rogan
I want to find a nurse.
What is it?
unidentified
What the fuck?
tom segura
Hold on a minute.
ari shaffir
What'd you do?
bert kreischer
I love the one guy that doesn't have an iPhone is walking you through your iPhone.
tom segura
That's true.
joe rogan
Five hours and 30 minutes.
ari shaffir
451 minutes a day.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
That's a lot.
ari shaffir
Four hours and 51 minutes of your day.
unidentified
It's a lot.
It's like five hours.
ari shaffir
Of your 16 hour waking day.
bert kreischer
In Joe's defense, he's got to interview new people all the time and I'm sure there's times he's like, tell me about that guy, dot, dot, dot.
joe rogan
There's definitely a lot of that.
ari shaffir
I keep hearing in my defense, in my defense, but I'm never in my offense where I'm like, that's too much.
tom segura
It is too much.
unidentified
It is too much.
joe rogan
You do do some work on your phone, but more than that, you fuck off.
I have every note transcribed in my phone, all my notes from my writing, my laptop, it's all on my phone.
All my sets are on my phone.
ari shaffir
It shows your productivity on there.
It shows what you're using the time on.
It won't be...
It's not like it's going to be four hours and 35 minutes of productivity and 20 minutes of fucking off.
joe rogan
No, no.
A lot of it is also watching stuff.
bert kreischer
You want to have real fun?
ari shaffir
Yeah, YouTube.
bert kreischer
Put your tabs on Safari and let's play a game.
Where I can go, hey, tell me about dot dot dot what you Googled earlier.
It's a fun fucking game.
ari shaffir
I got my computer here.
bert kreischer
Tom, give me your phone.
Tom, give me your phone.
unidentified
No.
bert kreischer
Tom, give me your phone.
tom segura
No.
unidentified
This can go back for a while.
ari shaffir
I have my computer here, you can use those.
joe rogan
That's a lot of time when you look at it, when you see that four hours.
ari shaffir
A lot of waking time spent looking at a screen instead of your surroundings.
unidentified
Wow.
bert kreischer
What is the last things I googled?
ari shaffir
You're driving part of that, you're not using it.
tom segura
It's me and it's you and then it's just some porn.
joe rogan
How much do you beat off?
tom segura
Is that anal?
You like anal scenes?
joe rogan
Are you beating off every day?
bert kreischer
No, I just started again.
joe rogan
Interesting.
tom segura
Took some time off?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I took some time off.
I was having a hard time with it, and now I'm back.
tom segura
This is his phone.
This is Ari's phone.
joe rogan
Yeah, Ari brings an old school...
ari shaffir
I gotta call you back.
joe rogan
He's got a laptop that has a CD drive.
No, it doesn't.
But that's the right year to buy, honestly, because that's a good keyboard.
bert kreischer
Yeah, all the ones they got now are fucking horrible.
joe rogan
The problem is with that, you can't do the same things on Instagram.
You can't post stuff from your fucking computer.
ari shaffir
No, I have to send it to my lady.
joe rogan
You can't post it from an iPad?
tom segura
Yes, you probably could.
ari shaffir
No, I can't, but I blocked myself out of my account.
I don't have a password in my account.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
Smart.
Smart.
unidentified
It really is.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but it does not make for a great Sober October challenge, in my opinion.
Just to watch people do nothing is not entertaining.
tom segura
No, but he's saying that it would still get posted.
Everything would still get posted.
bert kreischer
No, no.
ari shaffir
I'll buy you each a good, a camera, a legit, like...
bert kreischer
The strength of this challenge is that people enjoy following along with it.
unidentified
Okay, in terms of what we're doing, it's not our normal thing.
ari shaffir
Rogan clearly is the working out, so he doesn't have to change his life that much.
unidentified
All you do is promote!
It wouldn't be the worst for you to not have what you're already doing is promoting non-stop!
joe rogan
All he has is hip-hop dancing.
tom segura
Did you knock something over again?
joe rogan
Yeah, he was going crazy.
ari shaffir
On purpose, though.
bert kreischer
So then what's Tom bad at?
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
Being a father!
Obviously!
bert kreischer
So we've got to...
What if we switch kids?
joe rogan
What do you do?
How do you handle this?
ari shaffir
What?
joe rogan
Yeah, what do you do?
How do you handle this?
How do we do this?
ari shaffir
No, I didn't say what.
I didn't hear you.
But I mean, what are those pronouns you mean?
joe rogan
I mean, I'm saying like...
I like the idea of some sort of social media challenge, like staying off social media.
tom segura
It's got to be that with something.
That's the thing.
We're missing the second part.
joe rogan
No, 100%.
You're dead on.
Dead on with that.
But Bert can go fuck himself with this hip-hop dance and shit.
Joe.
ari shaffir
I do have a hip-hop dance place right near my apartment that I could go to all the time.
tom segura
I told you I'm in, man.
bert kreischer
You're in.
Ari, do you think hip-hop dance would be a good one?
ari shaffir
I think, let's put a pin in that.
I think for real.
bert kreischer
Okay, put a pin in it.
ari shaffir
That would be okay.
That would be at some level of acceptable.
unidentified
We'd have to get judges who don't know us at all.
It's a challenge.
joe rogan
It's physical.
Nothing subjective.
No judges.
Judges can go fuck themselves.
You want real hard numbers.
bert kreischer
Okay, let's put in parameters.
joe rogan
You can't have a bad decision that causes a riot amongst our fans.
tom segura
I feel like even if we don't do this, there was something so real about how good you said you're a better mover than him that I would love to see.
I feel like part of the month you have to do something with that.
You know what I mean?
I think the audience would love it.
joe rogan
Seems like it makes sense.
bert kreischer
It's got to be, here's the deal.
Let's just put parameters on where Sober Tuber is going to be taking place.
Tom is touring through Europe in a car.
tom segura
For part of it, yeah.
joe rogan
For part of it.
How many days?
tom segura
Ten days.
joe rogan
That'll cripple you.
You're going to get sick.
ari shaffir
To do what?
joe rogan
Forget about any fitness, I'm already laying it down.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Forget about any fitness challenge, son.
10 days in Europe.
All that traveling?
With those weird European diseases?
You know, that's how they wiped out most of South Americans.
ari shaffir
That your people?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
The diseases you find there is what's going to have wiped out your people.
joe rogan
Graham Hancock says that at one point in time the Amazon jungle had 20 million people and thriving civilizations, beautiful cities, and that the Europeans, their dirty diseases...
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Came over and wiped everybody out.
bert kreischer
That's actually your parents' love story.
joe rogan
20 million people.
unidentified
Yeah, your dad was one of those settlers who found you to run away from a virus.
tom segura
True.
joe rogan
Getting rid of his dirty bugs.
bert kreischer
Your mom was down washing her laundry next to a Cayman alligator.
ari shaffir
He came up and sneezed in her pussy.
joe rogan
Hey, tell me this.
The Creek and the Cave, the Legion of Skanks are not doing their show at the Creek and the Cave anymore.
ari shaffir
First of all, you guys coming to me on this is worse than Ainsling being coming to you about a comedy store.
joe rogan
No, but you were just on with Milo.
I think it's directly related.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah.
unidentified
I think it's directly related.
ari shaffir
That one wasn't at the Creek and the Cave.
joe rogan
Right, but that's why.
ari shaffir
Wait, what happened?
joe rogan
No, they were trying to do it at the creek in the cave and the lady freaked out, right?
ari shaffir
She buckled under pressure.
That's not why they're moving.
They're already going to move it.
They're already going to move it.
The new stand was opening up.
They'll use this as an excuse maybe or people will say that's the reason.
They were already going to move it.
bert kreischer
Wait, start from the beginning for someone who doesn't know what you're talking about.
tom segura
Yeah, there's a lot of people who don't know what you're talking about.
ari shaffir
They booked Legion of Skanks.
You know who they are.
tom segura
Yeah, of course.
ari shaffir
They're legit people who fucking hold their own.
tom segura
Jay and Luis, right?
ari shaffir
Luis, yeah.
Luis Gomez.
And Dave Smith.
And they're hardcore guys, except when they come on this podcast and kind of puss out.
But like, they're hardcore guys for the most part.
And so they booked.
bert kreischer
Yeah, they bitched out on this podcast.
unidentified
What do you mean?
joe rogan
I don't understand that.
I thought we just had a conversation.
ari shaffir
There you go.
Now you understand.
bert kreischer
That's fucking...
ari shaffir
Imagine Jackass in the heyday of Jackass and them all sitting here politely and not trying to fucking shave their heads in front of...
It's like, come on, dude.
Obviously.
bert kreischer
They need a second chance on this podcast.
joe rogan
I don't think so.
Not now.
ari shaffir
I wouldn't.
joe rogan
Give them all these expectations.
bert kreischer
I wouldn't.
joe rogan
They're going to come up and do something crazy.
tom segura
They just came here and had a good time with you?
joe rogan
Yeah, it was fun.
Nice conversation.
unidentified
What's the problem with that?
bert kreischer
No, it's great.
ari shaffir
Drink some tea and cross their legs.
joe rogan
They did a podcast with Milo Yiannopoulos, and Milo said they cucked out, so now Ari's running with the narrative.
ari shaffir
Listen, so they booked Milo, and they're like, oh, we have this guy who's been fucking, whatever.
And then everyone started doing the thing where they attack the venue.
If you have that area, you're the problem.
It's not enough that they can misanalyze the person Or say, I want nothing to do with that guy.
Then if you put him up, then you're the issue.
A woman who gave birth to tons of fucking great LGBA and fucking black performers, she's an issue because she's not stopping a performance from happening.
And then soon it'll be like, if you perform at that venue, then you're an asshole.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
tom segura
No, it's nonsense.
unidentified
Wait, what's the A stand for?
ari shaffir
A lesbian, gay, bisexual alliance.
bert kreischer
Oh.
ari shaffir
They have a lot more since I left college, but that's what I was told.
joe rogan
The problem is when you look at LGBT, which is like the accepted use of those letters, when you add the A in the end, we were like...
ari shaffir
Oh, A is now asexual?
And Finn Taylor does a great joke where it's like they're included, but the reality is the asexuals hate the other ones.
Like, you're disgusting.
I don't care what kind of sex you're having.
joe rogan
A lot of lesbians are not really excited about transgender men, or transgender women, rather.
tom segura
True.
joe rogan
There's that.
There's TERFs, you know, trans-exclusionary radical feminists.
ari shaffir
No, I don't know.
I'm busy fucking living my life and trying to fucking dominate.
I don't know.
joe rogan
You're trying to dominate?
ari shaffir
I'm trying to dominate, dude.
joe rogan
Damn, I didn't know you were trying to dominate.
tom segura
Wait, can you fill me in more on this, though?
joe rogan
Tell me about dominating.
tom segura
Wait, let's not leave dominating.
I want to write that down.
ari shaffir
But, There was a big uproar.
A lot of comedians started trying to show how they were woke enough, and they were like, I don't think you should do it.
Very publicly, quit putting Rebecca in this position.
joe rogan
Because Milo Yiannopoulos was going to be in that place.
ari shaffir
Here's how you can tell someone is a fucking white knight virtue signaler.
When they don't go to you saying, hey, Tom, I'm calling you on the phone.
Don't do this.
But I get it.
I might not have your number.
So if I'm tweeting at you, I'll just write, at Tom Segura, don't do this.
If I really want a virtue signal, I'll go dot at Tom Segura or hey at Tom Segura.
So it's not just me and your followers.
It's everybody.
Anytime anybody sees, if you're listening, you see somebody not start with the at.
That is them virtue signaling on purpose.
joe rogan
Unless they're saying something positive, they just want everybody to see it.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
You're right.
Good point.
Like, hey, everybody, come see Tom.
You don't want to say, Steve Simone's new album.
joe rogan
Hey, R.A. Shafir, I loved your new Netflix special.
tom segura
I love the Jew Hour.
It's great.
It's a great hour.
bert kreischer
I saw some of it.
joe rogan
It's a great hour.
You've been working on it hard.
tom segura
Your Jew buddy Milo, he's gonna appear on the show.
ari shaffir
All these comics, all these people start saying, I will never go to the creek again.
They put unbelievable pressure on her.
joe rogan
They call him a Nazi.
ari shaffir
A club owner.
joe rogan
He's Jewish and he's also married to a gay man who's black.
Who's black.
ari shaffir
Crushes his ass.
Opens it up.
joe rogan
Allegedly.
tom segura
So wait a minute.
What ends up happening?
So they go, we're not going to have him on?
ari shaffir
Okay, so they said, we're doing this.
We're not talking.
They started going to war with these fucking Virtue Signaler comics.
Okay.
And then at some point, Rebecca, I talked to her a bunch.
This is not my thing.
I don't even want to do it.
And I'm like, Rebecca, what you do is you stand by your comics.
And so you let them do whatever they want.
Obviously, I've been on the wrong side.
I've had venues cancel me.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Because of shit like this.
So I'm like, you don't want to be involved.
Then Milo's people said, oh guys, you put out the time and date of where I'm going to be.
bert kreischer
Security issue.
ari shaffir
I can't go anymore.
So they moved it.
tom segura
So they moved it and still did it?
ari shaffir
And still did it somewhere else.
Yeah, we did it.
tom segura
And then, okay.
joe rogan
Well, shout out to her for not caving then.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
And consider her name as the Creek in the Cave.
ari shaffir
That's funny.
tom segura
So did it go out?
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's out now.
tom segura
Oh, okay.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and it's all...
bert kreischer
I didn't watch the whole thing, but the part with you and Milo pouring booze, it was pretty funny.
ari shaffir
The next time somebody calls Milo a Nazi and me a Nazi sympathizer, they say, it's my face.
Maybe I'm just weird because I just saw my dad speak at the memorial, but I'm like, if you're going to tell me the people who took his father and say you need to say goodbye to your son...
And son, you've got to take care of the family now and watch the rest of your family fucking disappear and death is the same as that political analyst.
I'm going to slap you.
joe rogan
You should slap him.
ari shaffir
You should.
It's so derogatory and offensive in a way that I'm not okay with it.
So you can say that away from me, but if you say it to me, I'm going to...
bert kreischer
There's a lot of Brooklyn comics that were saying that.
joe rogan
There's not enough of those guys that are getting smacked.
ari shaffir
That's why they're saying shit like that.
That's what Diaz always said.
bert kreischer
That's what Big Jay said.
joe rogan
They're delirious...
Delirious.
You're completely ridiculous.
tom segura
Of course, it's insane.
unidentified
The guy is a provocateur.
joe rogan
He fucks with people.
He pushes buttons, and he does so in the age of the internet.
He's a great troll.
The thing that they got him on, which is where it all got really weird, was essentially him saying that it should be okay what happened to him when he was molested.
That he was sexually molested by priests.
And this priest, he would joke around and say that he was the one who pursued the priest.
Trust me, I was the predator.
That's how he said it.
He's hilarious.
And that's what got him...
It was talking about that on my show, and then talking about it on this other show.
Wasn't it the Amazing Atheist show?
It was, right?
ari shaffir
The point is, anybody who says, like, you shouldn't be allowed to put...
That person can't be heard anymore.
joe rogan
That's what they're saying, but that's what it was.
But it was really just his harsh critiques of liberals and feminists that were so biting.
And then, you know, he actually did a podcast with Jordan Peterson recently where he talked about...
The molestation.
I didn't see it.
But from Jordan's explanation, it's like he's understanding now as he's getting older that, yeah, he was a victim of this thing.
And he was making it less...
tom segura
Impactful, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, that he was...
Giving this guy like a pass that he did it to him almost.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Anyway, the Creek of the Cave is a great place for young comics in New York.
joe rogan
I hear nothing but great things.
ari shaffir
It's amazing.
I support that place.
It's like they bring together young comics and give them places to perform.
It is what the comedy store was if you take away the 12 plus year comics.
joe rogan
How many seats is it?
bert kreischer
I walked in on a skank fest and I walked past Ari throwing piss on somebody and I walked downstairs to a room full of people with their shirts off Chanting...
Do you remember that, Ari?
joe rogan
Did you shit in a Tupperware there?
unidentified
Yeah, that's where you opened up the Tupperware.
joe rogan
He took his shit in a Tupperware and then opened it up in the room.
ari shaffir
It was a tackle box.
tom segura
It was a fishing tackle box that I wrapped.
ari shaffir
Michael Che was outside and he was like, oh!
And he ran.
He smelled it from fucking down the street.
joe rogan
I'm starting to gag just...
bert kreischer
And these guys were offended by Milo?
unidentified
Exactly.
It's like, what are you guys talking about?
joe rogan
But it wasn't them.
ari shaffir
I'll just shit into it and see whatever happened.
It was a pile, a bit...
joe rogan
Oh my god, dude.
ari shaffir
It's a good question.
I'm not sure exactly.
joe rogan
Sometimes when you shit and it smells awful and you realize you've shit so much that it's broken water and it's rising like...
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
It's broken water?
unidentified
Out of the fucking toilet bowl.
joe rogan
You know?
It's like the Kona coast.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You get that smell.
Why does it smell so bad?
tom segura
Then you realize you shit so bad.
joe rogan
My dog shit doesn't smell nearly as bad.
Not even nearly as bad as people shit.
unidentified
It smells like hate crimes.
bert kreischer
Dog shit, once it gets in between your toes, smells worse.
joe rogan
I don't believe that.
Dogs aren't drinking.
That's what it is.
They're not drinking whiskey.
They're not eating Subway.
bert kreischer
I thought you were going to do a thing on dog hydration.
Dogs don't have enough water, man.
joe rogan
It makes their shit good.
ari shaffir
Guys, On It Dog has a new product.
unidentified
The real problem with dogs is the amount of water in their shit.
If you can dehydrate your dog, it'll be nearly as bad.
tom segura
No, nothing's as bad as human shit, man.
joe rogan
Human shit is so nasty, man.
tom segura
You know, you're walking in a city, and sometimes you see shit, and then if you smell it, if you smell it, it's like a fucking 90% chance that's human shit.
unidentified
Oh, 100%.
ari shaffir
Oh, dude, that's what they told me in Hong Kong.
They're like, listen, if you see, hold on, not every mainlander from mainland China shits in malls, but if you see shit in a mall, that's a mainlander.
tom segura
Yeah.
Really?
ari shaffir
Like, yeah, they're disgusting.
joe rogan
They just shit in the mall?
ari shaffir
Yeah, they just shit.
Mainly Chinese people.
bert kreischer
Just shit in the mall?
I'm not talking about the bathrooms.
ari shaffir
Oh, the ground.
joe rogan
The ground.
So, okay, so you're walking through the mall and you see human shit on the ground.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
ari shaffir
Yeah, dude, they don't know how to be.
Chinese tourists are an underrated worst tourist in the world.
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
Chinese tourists are the worst tourists.
When they're saying to Trump, we're going to hold our tourism back, all the fucking travelers are like, please keep them there.
joe rogan
So they just, some folks who live in rural China, is that what you're saying?
ari shaffir
Dude, the children, you've been there.
They have these shorts, these wide shorts, with a cut down the middle.
So when you stand up, the cut comes together.
But when you squat, so you don't have to fucking lift your shorts out, it comes out and then just shit away, bro.
joe rogan
They just shit where they're walking?
ari shaffir
Ten-year-olds wear these shorts.
joe rogan
Just take shits.
bert kreischer
How do I get those pants for Sundays?
joe rogan
What is this?
Why kids keep crapping in public in China?
ari shaffir
It's part of their culture, dude!
bert kreischer
That doesn't mean shit.
You can find anything online these days.
joe rogan
That's true.
bert kreischer
What is this, Breitling?
joe rogan
Look at Bert with the fucking common sense.
bert kreischer
Dude, I've gotten trapped in these so much.
ari shaffir
It is Kotaku.com.
unidentified
The Louvre!
They're the worst tournament!
joe rogan
I had to put up signs asking Chinese tourists to not poop on the grounds.
Oh my god.
tom segura
Scroll down that for a second.
ari shaffir
Top five worst tourists.
Chinese.
Far and away number one.
Like fucking Richard Pryor.
joe rogan
How did Chinese replace Americans as the worst tourists in the world?
ari shaffir
We never were!
joe rogan
It says they're obnoxious.
Oh my god.
This is a terrible article.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Although, have you ever been?
joe rogan
And they shit in public, apparently.
Oh my god, this is on Vice.
unidentified
Yep.
UK Vice.
joe rogan
UK Vice.
How dare you, people?
What's the fucking difference?
So we're reading this, folks.
If you hear those words, I have not said that.
I'm reading something off of the title.
For the record.
I'm not saying Chinese people are bad.
tom segura
If you're listening, it's all Asians, technically.
If you're listening, Ari did say everything to me.
ari shaffir
I did say all that.
unidentified
I'll stand by it.
ari shaffir
Chinese tourists are by far the worst tourists.
Next is, I don't know how to say this, Israel and Russians tied.
tom segura
Why Israelis?
ari shaffir
I'm sorry, I'm bad, I'm bad.
I'm missing Australians.
The Bogans are garbage people.
bert kreischer
Are you serious?
ari shaffir
And they have fucking inflicted them into the world like, go learn on their turf.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
Bogans are awful.
Why Israelis?
joe rogan
Look at them.
ari shaffir
I don't know.
Can they get out of the army and they think they can fucking go nuts?
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I don't know, but people don't like Israeli tourists.
tom segura
Really?
ari shaffir
Yeah, they got a reputation about them.
tom segura
I didn't know that.
ari shaffir
Americans are way down the line.
tom segura
No, Americans are not celebrated in a lot of parts where you travel to, man.
ari shaffir
We are very celebrated.
A lot of people.
We're the only ones who tip consistently.
bert kreischer
Hardcore.
ari shaffir
People like our money.
bert kreischer
Yep.
ari shaffir
And the ones who travel are not the fucking fat rednecks to Texas.
tom segura
Yeah, that's true.
ari shaffir
We're the ones who've gone and gone to the world.
joe rogan
But sometimes they are.
That's the...
ari shaffir
Sure, sometimes.
There's loud Americans.
tom segura
I'm just saying there's plenty of obnoxious Americans traveling.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
Definitely.
ari shaffir
But we're not in this top five.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Interesting.
tom segura
I would have assumed we would.
joe rogan
Well, we aren't normally shitting at the mall.
I can't believe it.
ari shaffir
That's a big step down.
It's a big step down.
tom segura
In doors is insanity, dude.
Like, for you to think that other people are going to be like, oh, yeah, you just got to take a shit.
joe rogan
So what is the culture like?
ari shaffir
Dude, I've been where it's like, I got to piss in public at other things.
Like, block me.
unidentified
Block me.
You know?
So I get four or five guys around.
ari shaffir
No, you don't have to block me.
I'm just going to shit real quick.
It's like we're in the woods and I gotta piss.
There's no, like, embarrassment level.
That's how they feel.
That's how they feel, dude.
joe rogan
They don't even worry about who cleans it up.
unidentified
Because they're not even thinking about it.
Dude, let it stay there.
tom segura
Do they wipe?
joe rogan
There's no wiping.
Imagine if everybody did that.
If everywhere you looked, it was just shit.
Oh, Jesus.
Everywhere you're walking.
tom segura
So if you were to confront somebody right after you're like, what the fuck did you just do?
They'd be like, what are you talking about?
joe rogan
Do you think that they live in a place...
ari shaffir
The way they would confront you is like, what, you just got in your car?
You're like, what?
joe rogan
I don't get it.
Do you think that it's where their living is so overrun with people?
That they just shit anywhere and they don't think that anybody has an impact on the environment?
ari shaffir
Well, now you're asking me to speak to an expert, and I will.
joe rogan
Yes, please.
ari shaffir
Even though I'm not one, but this is all my interpretation.
And yeah, I think they have no expectation of privacy because they're so fucking on top of each other.
Their homes, extremely clean.
Take off your shoes before you come inside.
unidentified
Really?
The homes are fucking...
tom segura
Are we talking about, is this thing like...
But I'm saying, on the mainland, you know, China's over a billion people.
So you have a lot of, like, really poor, uneducated rural parts.
And, like, saying that somebody in that area does this, I'd be like, yeah.
Are you saying that, like, even somebody that lives in Beijing or Shanghai who has a job?
ari shaffir
No, they don't.
unidentified
No.
ari shaffir
They don't.
So that's what I'm saying.
Not all mainlanders will shit in malls.
But if you see shit in a mall, it is a mainlander.
bert kreischer
And let's be clear.
When they say kids, what age group?
Is it high school kids who are trying to fuck?
Or is it like...
joe rogan
There's just shit everywhere?
We're trying to fuck!
We're taking shits!
ari shaffir
How long were you in China for?
tom segura
I wasn't in China.
I was in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau.
Now, what's funny is when you're in Macau, which is obviously a big casino kind of tourist destination, all the people there, they eyeball immediately who's like a mainland Chinese person, you know?
Really?
Well, that's a different type of thing where if somebody's like, you see dudes in Macau in like Versace shades and like Fendi and Gucci and like, I mean, crazy outfits and you're like, God!
unidentified
Damn!
tom segura
What's up with that dude?
And they'll be like, that's just a mainland dude who knew money.
He just got rich.
joe rogan
Wow.
tom segura
It's all over Macau.
We just know.
And then you see the understated person.
They're like, that's a Hong Kong guy.
That's old money.
ari shaffir
Yeah, right.
bert kreischer
Oh, it's like England almost.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
You know how like England they got those guys that are like the Oasis who are like tracksuits and all that like this?
And then you got the old posh money who's like, all right.
Alright, that's all.
tom segura
We can do accents.
Accent challenge.
ari shaffir
Name an accent.
bert kreischer
Name an accent.
ari shaffir
Dumb fucking fat Florida person.
bert kreischer
Hey, what's up guys?
It's Perk Reiser.
I got tornadoes in Auckland.
joe rogan
Son of a bitch.
unidentified
Oh my god.
bert kreischer
Wait, Ari, I'll say a country.
You do the accent without saying the words, okay?
ari shaffir
Okay, okay, okay.
bert kreischer
Here we go.
Russia.
Don't say the words.
Just make the noises they make.
ari shaffir
Okay, I'm not great at accents.
I'm not great at accents.
I'm not great at accents.
Don't do any words.
bert kreischer
Don't do any words.
unidentified
You're in Japan.
joe rogan
Have you ever heard the samurai speaking Sasquatch footage?
No.
bert kreischer
No.
joe rogan
One of the dumbest things that Duncan and I did when we were doing that show.
unidentified
You guys did this?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
We went and studied Bigfoot.
One of the dumbest things.
Ari did the show with me.
And one of the things that we did when we studied Bigfoot was talk to a Bigfoot expert that was playing us some audio.
And some of the audio, it sounds like a samurai.
It sounds like...
And the guy was claiming that this was like a secret recording of Bigfoot.
ari shaffir
Really?
Speaking samurai.
joe rogan
It was the dumbest fucking thing I'd ever heard in my life.
tom segura
Did anything, by the way, in your conspiracy theories and what you challenge, was there anything that you ended up going, oh, that's not dumb?
joe rogan
Yes.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, Morgellons disease.
Morgellons disease is a disease where people...
Is it Morgellons?
Is that what it's called?
ari shaffir
But you're saying something you didn't even think about before.
joe rogan
Yeah, I thought it was bullshit before because I had read that it was bullshit.
And what I read was that the people would think that they had things growing out of their skin so they'd be scratching themselves and they would add fibers to their skin and take pictures of it and say, look, I've got things growing out of my skin.
And that it was a hoax.
But then talking to a doctor who had Morgellons who explained to me that there's some sort of neurotoxic effect of Lyme disease.
And that everyone who has Morgellons also has Lyme disease.
And he was a legitimate doctor and a very smart guy.
And he was essentially saying that mainstream science in its rush to...
Prove he's gonna piss in that.
ari shaffir
Try not to interrupt.
joe rogan
What are you doing?
Just right there.
unidentified
Ari, come on, man.
joe rogan
But you're gonna get us kicked off of YouTube with your dick out.
ari shaffir
Balls are away.
bert kreischer
Just cut straight to his dick.
joe rogan
Anyway, what was I saying?
ari shaffir
Magellan's disease?
joe rogan
That that is a real disease.
That this Morgellons disease is...
What it is is Lyme disease.
There's a bunch of pathogens that come with Lyme disease.
It's not just the Lyme disease.
It's not like a pure one or a zero.
You have it or you don't.
It's a dirty tick that has a bunch of fucking horrible...
bert kreischer
Would you know if you had Lyme disease?
joe rogan
Yes.
You get a bullseye looking red mark around the area and the area hurts.
And then you start experiencing terrible symptoms like flu-like symptoms.
You gotta catch it quick.
ari shaffir
Stop being able to read.
joe rogan
You're supposed to catch it quick.
On your show?
ari shaffir
He wanted to brush his teeth and he couldn't go back and forth.
He was like, what the fuck?
joe rogan
My friend's kid got Bell's palsy where his face went numb.
bert kreischer
Don't get me started.
tom segura
I had a teacher that had Bell's palsy in high school and they kept him out and then he came back.
ari shaffir
And he was okay?
tom segura
No, but he came back while he still had the face paralysis.
We're all like, looking at this dude.
ari shaffir
We had a student a year older than me at Bell's Palsy and we mocked them relentlessly like we should have.
bert kreischer
Pro, pro, pro.
unidentified
John Heffern got it on stage.
ari shaffir
No way.
bert kreischer
He was on stage and his face started going on him and he had to hold his cheek over to finish his jokes.
Then he called his brother-in-law and he goes, I think I'm having a stroke.
I'm about to get on a plane.
I think I'm having a stroke.
The next morning, his face was numb and drooped, and his brother-in-law goes, go to the fucking doctor right now.
ari shaffir
Yeah, what do you mean?
You're having a 20-hour stroke.
bert kreischer
And it was Bell's Palsy.
joe rogan
And so what do they do about that?
How do they fix that?
bert kreischer
Nothing.
Fucking nothing.
tom segura
You just can't do anything, right?
unidentified
You just wait.
bert kreischer
Eddie Ift had it.
Dude, I wake up.
joe rogan
Eddie Ift had it?
bert kreischer
Eddie Ift had it, too.
I think it's a virus.
tom segura
You'd be good at it.
bert kreischer
Dude, I think about Bell's Palsy every fucking morning.
joe rogan
Why?
unidentified
Why?
tom segura
Such a crazy morning thought!
joe rogan
Why would you think of that?
ari shaffir
It's my ritual.
bert kreischer
Every morning I wake up.
joe rogan
On the left I thought he was doing a Stallone impression.
bert kreischer
He said Stallone has Bell's palsy too.
joe rogan
Does he?
bert kreischer
He got it when he was young and sometimes it doesn't go away.
joe rogan
Whoa.
ari shaffir
And so he wrote, so we're at about three moths.
Does it affect the spelling?
I don't know what the actual effects are.
joe rogan
Well, if you don't know how to spell, it doesn't help.
unidentified
He looks better now.
bert kreischer
I hung out with him this weekend.
joe rogan
So is he back on stage?
bert kreischer
He's back on stage.
tom segura
How recently did this happen?
bert kreischer
He spent like three weeks in his sister's basement just being like, it's never going to come back.
My career's over.
I can't go on stage.
He tried to do a show, and he said everyone was just staring at him like this.
joe rogan
Oh, man.
So, what do they do to fix it?
bert kreischer
Nothing.
joe rogan
You just wait?
bert kreischer
You just wait until it starts coming back.
tom segura
Yeah, I think you said reboot.
It was like, right?
Your face reboots.
joe rogan
So you've got to get KO'd.
tom segura
Wait, so why do you think about this every morning?
bert kreischer
Dude, especially when I'm getting ready for a special, I think like...
joe rogan
What if I got Bell's Palsy?
bert kreischer
The morning of, that would be terrible.
The morning of my special, the secret time, I woke up and I smiled and I went, I beat Bell's Palsy.
That's the first thought I had.
joe rogan
That is the dumbest fucking thing.
Jesus Christ, how am I involved in this conversation?
I can't believe I'm involved in this conversation.
bert kreischer
Bell palsy, you know what else I forget I think of?
Alopecia.
ari shaffir
There's hair falling out?
bert kreischer
Everyone gets out.
ari shaffir
I had it when I was little.
bert kreischer
Every comic at the store had it.
Burn had it.
Ahmed had it.
Everyone got it at one point, and I just was like, don't give me all the hair.
All the hair fell out?
Just in a circle.
Norman had it.
joe rogan
Weird patches.
bert kreischer
Comics get it.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tom segura
Comics get it?
ari shaffir
I had it in a circle in my head.
When I was a kid.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I think about alopecia, too.
joe rogan
Mike Tyson had it, remember?
ari shaffir
That's why I fought so hard?
joe rogan
Yeah, Mike Tyson had a weird circle in his head for a while.
tom segura
I didn't know it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
Wait, you said you were going to dominate earlier.
joe rogan
What are you dominating?
You like to dominate?
ari shaffir
You've got to give me the context again.
tom segura
I know.
joe rogan
You said you like dominating.
ari shaffir
Yeah, dominating life.
tom segura
Yeah, dominating life.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
I crushed hard.
joe rogan
Oh, you have time to dominate because you're not on your phone.
That's what it was.
tom segura
Oh, yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
That's how you dominate.
ari shaffir
I can masturbate multiple times a day instead of just once like you guys.
tom segura
You moved in with a lady though, right?
ari shaffir
I did.
Honestly, guys, it might not be this year about the fucking social media addiction and stuff.
tom segura
Your wedding is next year?
joe rogan
Are you going to take that rock out of your dick home?
bert kreischer
Take that rock out of your dick home.
unidentified
I'm going to shoot some hot ones into you.
joe rogan
I love you so much.
I got my dick fixed.
tom segura
That's real love if you do that.
joe rogan
I got my pipes reconnected.
unidentified
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
They pulled a straw out of one of those sea turtles' noses and they used it to fix my dick.
You know that straw video with the sea turtle's nose?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
It's the most horrific video.
It's the reason why they don't have plastic straws.
If you're like, why the fuck do we have plastic cups to lids?
Why do we have plastic caps to water bottles?
Why don't we have plastic straws?
The reason why is because there's a fucking video of a turtle.
And they have a clamp.
I don't know if this is the main reason, but it is for a lot of people.
They clamped this straw in this turtle's mouth and they eventually pulled it in his turtle's nose rather.
It was deep in his nose.
bert kreischer
Oh, shit.
I can't watch this.
joe rogan
Yes, you can.
ari shaffir
Oh, there's like one of those.
joe rogan
So see, that's a straw that got stuck in his turtle's mouth.
ari shaffir
It is so much harder.
tom segura
It is so much harder to watch things happen to animals than to people.
bert kreischer
How do we not know this wasn't a night of cocaine gone wrong?
joe rogan
Look at that poor turtle.
So he inhaled...
ari shaffir
Oh, he's giant, too.
He's a fucking good one.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
So they realized that the straw was stuck, and apparently this is not...
ari shaffir
Oh, it's bleeding?
joe rogan
This is not an unusual thing.
So they have to pull...
Wait, what did they pull it out?
ari shaffir
Who's the fucking tweezer guy?
Get a real tweezer guy in there!
joe rogan
He's scared.
He's scared.
And he's got little hands, too.
ari shaffir
He's got little fucking Thai hands.
joe rogan
Little bitch ass hands.
bert kreischer
Grab it and pull the fucking thing.
joe rogan
He's out there saving turtles.
Pull the fucking thing out.
bert kreischer
Poor turtle's going, no.
ari shaffir
Oh, it's in his brain, dude.
bert kreischer
It looks like Jim Norton's going, no, don't do it.
ari shaffir
He's using a pocket knife.
joe rogan
Well, that's all he's got.
unidentified
Damn, dude.
joe rogan
You know what I would do?
unidentified
Does he get it out?
joe rogan
I would bite it with my face and I would pull it out with my neck.
ari shaffir
Because you're a warrior.
bert kreischer
Someone hold his fucking head.
ari shaffir
And you care about the animals.
joe rogan
I care about the animals.
I'm a warrior for sea creatures.
bert kreischer
Oh, there we go.
This has got to get it.
This has got to get it the fuck out.
joe rogan
He's got a leather man.
God, this guy's horrible.
ari shaffir
Horrible.
bert kreischer
I never want to play Operation with this guy.
joe rogan
It takes time, but it's worth it at the end.
ari shaffir
Oh, he's trying to bite the shit.
He's like, what are you guys doing to me?
It was fine.
It was better before.
Leave me alone.
He's bleeding out of his fucking nose.
bert kreischer
How did they get the sea turtle on the boat to notice it in the first place?
joe rogan
Guys, stop being a bitch.
Grab that guy.
ari shaffir
Stop being a bitch.
He's not biting at you.
joe rogan
Here he goes.
unidentified
Nope.
Lost it again.
ari shaffir
He's trying to do a fucking pull.
unidentified
He just got a gentle pull.
joe rogan
He eventually gets it.
He eventually gets it.
I swear to God.
tom segura
Please show me.
ari shaffir
Please show him getting it.
There's still so much more.
bert kreischer
Hold it hard.
ari shaffir
Okay, the video's almost done.
joe rogan
Hold it hard.
Oh my God.
unidentified
That's it.
joe rogan
They're going to take that out and they're going to stick it in Ari's dick hole to fix his...
ari shaffir
I'm not eating that turtle, by the way.
joe rogan
That's what they should do.
They should recycle it and use that to open up your dick pipe.
This is what they do.
They take that rock out, that calcified dick rock, make a nice ring for the little lady.
ari shaffir
That is really romantic.
tom segura
Dude, that would be romantic.
joe rogan
You connect your dick pipe with the actual tube that they pulled out of that turtle's nose.
tom segura
Throw some diamonds in there, too, but you're good.
joe rogan
Fix your dick pipe, son.
ari shaffir
Bling it.
tom segura
Bling it out.
joe rogan
Yeah, why not?
bert kreischer
What if we each raise a dire wolf?
Like something like...
unidentified
Someone's drunk.
Ugh!
Ugh!
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's funny.
ari shaffir
Can I leave my car here?
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
You can leave me inside if you want.
tom segura
You have a car here?
Dude, we gotta fucking get your car straight.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
Remember we're gonna put all those jokes on the side of your car?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
tom segura
Like, do you like to laugh?
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
tom segura
Yeah, we gotta do that.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're gonna do that.
ari shaffir
Dude, I just don't have a car, so it's tough, but a rental car.
tom segura
I would be in on getting you a car, if it could say all that.
unidentified
Remember?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
We're gonna rent you a Corvette and put a wrap on it.
ari shaffir
Whatever happens to it, happens to it.
joe rogan
Yeah, we'll put a sober October wrap on that bitch.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I said we all wrap our cars in Sober October.
ari shaffir
Dude, you already have extra wrap.
You have a wrap?
bert kreischer
He wrapped his bus.
I wrapped my bus.
I just bought like 10 wraps of my face.
It's so much fun.
I put my face on everything.
tom segura
Oh, the bus champ.
I didn't even tell you.
joe rogan
Are you the bus champ or is Ari the bus champ?
bert kreischer
I'm the tour bus champ.
tom segura
No, you're not.
joe rogan
What are you doing, Ari?
unidentified
What is that?
bert kreischer
Is that Lyme's disease?
tom segura
What is that?
That's gross, too.
bert kreischer
What the fuck is wrong with you?
tom segura
You're so gross.
What is that?
ari shaffir
Poison Ivy.
joe rogan
You got poison ivy?
unidentified
Hey!
joe rogan
Oh, you know what I bet would help you?
I bet some CBD oil.
Rub some CBD oil in that.
What am I, a doctor?
bert kreischer
How'd you get poison ivy on your camping trip with Bobby?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, dude, put that down.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Give it to us.
ari shaffir
It's not catchy.
joe rogan
Shut up.
That's what everybody with Ebola says.
ari shaffir
It's not catchy?
tom segura
You can't catch you?
joe rogan
Everybody with Ebola is like, no catchy.
No catchy.
I'm like, are you sure?
Why are you coughing, man?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Why'd the guy next to you start coughing suddenly?
joe rogan
Isn't that a fucked up thing about diseases too?
They try to spread themselves.
ari shaffir
They try to get out like aliens.
bert kreischer
I did a meet and greet in Spokane and I'm doing it and the next guy rips his shirt off, puts his arm around me and he is burning on fire.
And I go, whoa bro, you are hot.
And he's like, yeah, I got a pretty bad fever.
I go, really?
And he's like, yeah man, sorry, I think you're going to get it too.
tom segura
That is the perfect Burt fan.
joe rogan
I'm sick.
I want to hug you.
I'm a giant fan, but I'm taking my shirt off.
You're taking yours off too.
tom segura
And then he'd probably be like, hey, do you mind if we kiss?
And Bird would be like, alright.
bert kreischer
If you want to.
Remember the other night we were talking, I was drunk and I was talking about how my inner dialogue is, you think I'm weak?
joe rogan
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
So one of the ones is when guys go, hey man, it's always like big Italian guys, picture you kissing me on the cheek.
Kiss me on the fucking cheek.
And I always go, nah man.
Because I might hear my brain go, you think I'm fucking weak?
joe rogan
I got a part to kiss me on the cheek.
Kiss me on the cheek.
bert kreischer
I'm going to lick your fucking nipples.
I left them niggling nipples.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You run into a lot of weird people out there in that world.
tom segura
Dude, you with Bell's palsy for an hour?
bert kreischer
Fuck.
unidentified
It would be great.
ari shaffir
It would be great.
joe rogan
What if we just shot Botox in your face for a month?
Because that does work.
ari shaffir
That's a good challenge.
I'm up for that challenge.
bert kreischer
I knew a lady who shot too much and it affected her eyelid.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
You got to be careful.
You get to the wrong doctor and they're like, yeah, one more shot.
tom segura
A little more.
joe rogan
And you're like, yeah.
bert kreischer
During the Me Too movement, I always smile at women just to make sure I'm not having Bell's palsy.
joe rogan
Imagine if your nose is running and you didn't even know it's a consequence and it's all numb.
tom segura
Oh my god, dude.
joe rogan
Doing shit to your face is just...
tom segura
No.
bert kreischer
I wouldn't mind a tiny face tattoo.
joe rogan
This is what we're going to do.
We're going to all get Botox so we can't move our face.
So you have to do your act like Joan Rivers with a frozen expression.
tom segura
We're going to really start doing shit with our voices.
unidentified
That's the only instrument you'll have.
joe rogan
You can't raise your eyebrows at all.
Joan Rivers had bits about it.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
She had so much plastic surgery.
ari shaffir
Everyone knew about her plastic surgery.
joe rogan
You couldn't hide it.
It was like a mask.
ari shaffir
You look like a surprised catfish.
What's his name?
joe rogan
Who said that?
ari shaffir
Who's the lawyer?
The Mexican lawyer.
bert kreischer
The best is when he told Flavor Flav, you look like a skeleton with duct tape wrapped around it.
ari shaffir
I don't get that one.
unidentified
Wait, we don't have our challenge yet.
joe rogan
What's our challenge?
bert kreischer
It should be hip-hop.
We have another hour.
ari shaffir
There would be some fun of when you start getting a move down.
You're like, oh, what?
bert kreischer
So wait, it should be something that we can do on the road, because we're all going to be on the road.
joe rogan
Barefoot running.
ari shaffir
I'm telling you this, it might not be this year, and it might not be next year, but eventually you guys will come into my idea of mental health.
bert kreischer
Can I tell you what Joe was saying?
I don't think this is a bad idea.
I'm saying Joe's saying this, obviously there's a conversation we had, I don't know if you want to share this, but he was saying, we were backstage and he was like, it's not bad to do another one of these halfway in.
So if you want to do another, do like, I'm cool with anything we decide.
joe rogan
I just think it should be hip-hop dancing and we should do it twice a year.
bert kreischer
Wait, wait, wait.
tom segura
One other thing.
You were saying earlier how your body moves.
unidentified
So, I want to know, like, are you flexible?
tom segura
Are you super flexible?
bert kreischer
Very.
ari shaffir
Yeah, show me.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
How flexible are you?
ari shaffir
Can you do this where you touch your hands behind your back?
bert kreischer
Yeah, of course.
ari shaffir
No, no, behind yourself.
unidentified
Let's not do this again!
ari shaffir
This way, this way.
No, this way, stupid.
Behind you.
unidentified
Yeah, I got it.
ari shaffir
Let's see it.
tom segura
Can you do the splits?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I can do the splits.
ari shaffir
Show us on the table right now.
bert kreischer
Can you do a split?
joe rogan
Yes, I can.
unidentified
He can.
bert kreischer
You can do a split.
ari shaffir
He only buys jeans that have lycra in them.
bert kreischer
Show me how to do a split first and then I'll show you if I can do a split.
joe rogan
Listen, I don't want to get a muscle pull so I'll go down as far as I can go without warming up.
bert kreischer
Same here.
tom segura
Yeah, you do the same.
ari shaffir
Why don't you guys just save time and touch dicks now?
tom segura
Alright.
unidentified
Okay, here we go.
Oh, fuck me.
ari shaffir
He is down.
His dick is about that far off the ground, and I think if he didn't have jeans on, the gravity would take his dick all the way to the ground.
tom segura
Okay, that's legit.
unidentified
Bert?
Yeah.
bert kreischer
And you want me to go that far?
ari shaffir
I want you to go farther if you can.
tom segura
So now, wait a minute.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
unidentified
So now, if I was at the end of yoga class, I could definitely hit a full split.
bert kreischer
And you want me to go all the way down like you did?
unidentified
Yes.
tom segura
Okay, ready Bert?
joe rogan
Yes.
Those pants are not even designed for that.
unidentified
Guys, let's keep going.
ari shaffir
Keep going.
joe rogan
Don't hurt yourself.
bert kreischer
I'm hurting myself.
joe rogan
Don't hurt yourself.
tom segura
Dude, I gotta tell you, that was really close.
bert kreischer
It's a lot further.
joe rogan
This is the exact conversation we had all month last October.
unidentified
You got a knee down.
joe rogan
What in the fuck are you saying, man?
bert kreischer
Dude, but look, here's the deal.
joe rogan
What's the deal?
bert kreischer
I'm not going into Sober October half-ass.
I'm definitely charging every one of you motherfuckers, just like I did last year.
ari shaffir
You can't follow up one of the shittiest all-time specials of all time with something even shittier.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
You gotta, like, do something better.
What are you saying?
bert kreischer
No, whatever we decide to do, I'm still going full tilt.
joe rogan
But you said you did that last year?
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
joe rogan
Last year you went full tilt?
bert kreischer
No, last year I saw shit.
ari shaffir
No, last year he was awful, and he's gonna come back strong.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
But he was saying he's going to come after us like he did last year.
I think, pretty sure.
Can we rewind that?
bert kreischer
No, I was saying.
unidentified
Did he say something like that?
bert kreischer
Listen, I'm drunk.
Listen, hear me out.
joe rogan
Okay.
bert kreischer
I was saying, I'm not going to not talk shit this year.
joe rogan
Interesting.
bert kreischer
Okay?
joe rogan
Yeah, of course.
You know it can't work anymore, right?
bert kreischer
But that's why when I do it, it'll be so effective.
Mickey Mantle's dead.
Mickey Mantle's not dead.
Mickey Mantle's dead.
tom segura
Literally, literal Mickey Mantle is dead.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Acknowledge that I have the Mickey Mantle gene.
ari shaffir
You too first.
I've already acknowledged it many times.
bert kreischer
Thank you.
joe rogan
Acknowledge it.
ari shaffir
It does have the Mickey Mantle gene.
joe rogan
What does that mean?
ari shaffir
Dude, my dad spoke at the memorial.
At the Holocaust Memorial.
And I so badly.
tom segura
He mentioned the Mickey Mantle gene?
ari shaffir
No, I wanted to.
He goes to talk about the people who died of disease and stuff like that.
A lot of people and I wanted to yell out, they didn't have the Mickey Mantle gene.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
tom segura
I did a date, I don't know, recently, and it was with the promoters that you work with now, and so you work with like one promoter.
bert kreischer
Easy, bro.
What?
tom segura
You work with the promoter!
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all do.
Okay, keep going.
joe rogan
He's got more than one promoter is what he's trying to say.
ari shaffir
Yeah, the Mickey Mantle too.
joe rogan
It's like a single guy when you're like, yeah, we were hanging out with your girlfriend.
unidentified
He's got this one guy with the girlfriend chart.
tom segura
He's got this one guy.
joe rogan
He's going to get a call.
I guess I'm your promoter, Bert.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Bert, I guess I'm the one promoter you work with.
joe rogan
Hey, Bert, I just want to tell you, I heard Tom talking about the promoters and it made me proud that I'm your promoter.
tom segura
Oh, they know.
They fucking know.
joe rogan
Because I know that there's someone else.
If there was someone else, you would, uh...
I mean, you wouldn't be that hurtful that you would be referring to someone else as your promoter.
So I know you're talking about me.
bert kreischer
I don't want to be presumptuous, Bert.
I am fucking sweating right now.
joe rogan
Bert, I don't want to be presumptuous.
unidentified
They brought up the gene, and they were like, I've done a bunch of dates with him, and I tried to hang out, but...
tom segura
A couple days, they're like, I can't do it, man.
ari shaffir
The booze.
tom segura
Yeah, they're like, I can't hang out with him.
bert kreischer
Very few people can keep up with my pace on the road.
Mark Maron, or Mark Norman, I'm broken.
ari shaffir
I don't know if I can keep up, but don't try to.
Do every third drink.
joe rogan
You broke him?
tom segura
Is it nightly?
joe rogan
Why did he try?
bert kreischer
I don't know, it's just, I don't even notice I'm doing it.
The party follows you.
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I'm saying, why did he try?
Why would he try to keep up with you?
ari shaffir
Rookie move.
bert kreischer
Rookie move.
ari shaffir
I told him not to.
I said, you go on your pace, just be with him.
joe rogan
100%.
tom segura
Is that guy's name?
The promoter?
bert kreischer
You're one guy.
joe rogan
The one guy he works with.
I wasn't saying anything.
tom segura
I saw a new story.
bert kreischer
You used to fucking...
joe rogan
What the fuck?
All right, so one thing.
I think we all agreed that the surfing challenge was too crazy, right?
ari shaffir
That was dumb.
tom segura
That's Burke's idea.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
That's Burke's idea.
ari shaffir
Surfing challenge.
joe rogan
I was thinking it might be a fun idea.
The amount of time on a board.
ari shaffir
None of us are going to surf?
tom segura
I know, but here's the thing.
ari shaffir
I don't live anywhere near a fucking...
You're going to be in Europe.
joe rogan
You've got to move, bitch.
bert kreischer
It's just too hard.
unidentified
You live near New York and you live near LA? They have Long Beach, but you're going to be on the road.
ari shaffir
Oh, fuck, whatever.
joe rogan
Where do people surf in New York?
Are we really dancing?
bert kreischer
Long Beach dancing is what we're doing.
unidentified
Really?
What's that?
tom segura
We're going to dance.
ari shaffir
I don't know.
Somewhere there.
tom segura
Joe, think about...
You walk on stage.
joe rogan
Boom.
tom segura
The lights come behind you.
Right?
Another light comes down.
The music starts, and you start.
unidentified
Boom, boom, boom.
tom segura
And then people are like, oh, shit!
And then the beat breaks, and you go into something else, and you learn how to flip in this month.
ari shaffir
Now you've already bought some capiterra.
You only have 45 minutes left to give.
joe rogan
Interesting.
unidentified
45?
bert kreischer
Capiterra, Joe.
joe rogan
Interesting.
tom segura
You're in?
bert kreischer
You bang out a split?
joe rogan
You guys are high.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
ari shaffir
There's no way they're going to be able to do splits in...
bert kreischer
Dude, I'm going to be dead.
I really didn't think you could do a split.
That's fucking impressive.
Why would I lie?
No, I didn't.
Because that's what I do.
Oh, yeah, I can do a split.
unidentified
Fuck yeah.
tom segura
You really didn't think you could do a split, though?
bert kreischer
No, I didn't know.
I mean, to split, a grown-up doing a split is tough.
tom segura
Yeah.
You got pretty...
Not that close, but it was good.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's pictures of me doing a split.
ari shaffir
Yeah, multiple ones that he was posing for.
bert kreischer
Can you sit crisscross applesauce and your legs don't hurt?
joe rogan
Yes.
unidentified
Yes.
ari shaffir
Look at his toes straining there, by the way.
Look at his fucking spasming toes.
The one big toe is way, way off.
bert kreischer
What year is that?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's not what I'm doing.
I'm pulling my feet up so that I can push down with my hips.
ari shaffir
How come the one toe says no to you and the other toes say yes?
Zoom in on Quadrant Force.
unidentified
Look at that.
ari shaffir
Look how far away they are.
unidentified
I'm doing this!
joe rogan
I'm doing this.
If I spread my feet out like that, and I'm lifting my toes up instead of pointing them down, I'm doing that so I can lean in with my crotch so you stretch the abductor-adductor muscle.
bert kreischer
Guys, guys.
Gymnastics.
joe rogan
Good luck.
This guy breaks his hip every time he fucking gets out of the shower.
ari shaffir
Still willing to try.
bert kreischer
How's the Israeli gymnastics team?
joe rogan
He can't do gymnastics.
unidentified
I have no idea.
joe rogan
He won't be able to do anything with that hand for like a year.
ari shaffir
They say I can squeeze a ball at about 19 months.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Are you serious?
ari shaffir
I don't know.
tom segura
Wait, where's your break?
Where's the break?
ari shaffir
Okay, so on this side, it's a bone here, chipped off, and just free-falling.
It's Tom Petty there.
And the other one on here, they have a push-in break that they only see in young children.
I told him I eat a lot of gummy-related products, and he goes, that might be...
That could, for sure, that could be part of it.
So two different breaks.
tom segura
And this is from a fall?
bert kreischer
It was a pretty nasty fall.
joe rogan
How come they only see it usually in one children, in young children?
ari shaffir
They have unformed, their bones aren't just developing.
It's like a compression break.
joe rogan
You eat so much sugar, your bones don't form right.
ari shaffir
It's possible.
bert kreischer
My daughter had that break at 13 months.
ari shaffir
Really?
bert kreischer
Yeah, it's like a fold, yeah.
joe rogan
Hmm.
bert kreischer
Ari was hauling ass.
Gymnastics is out.
unidentified
This is good.
Ski challenge.
joe rogan
You were there when he broke his arm?
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
Ski challenge.
bert kreischer
Fucking shredding shit in front of him.
joe rogan
What would be the challenge if we had a ski challenge?
We couldn't do it in October.
ari shaffir
I guess it was how much you guys could eat my dust.
tom segura
Wow.
joe rogan
Do you go Black Diamonds?
Do you go down Black Diamonds?
bert kreischer
Yes, he does.
joe rogan
Are you like a legit skier?
bert kreischer
No.
I'll answer this for you, Ari.
ari shaffir
I love skiing.
bert kreischer
Ari is fearless, and he can go down anything, but it looks disgusting.
It's like watching your parents fuck.
It is.
He snowplows the entire time, just like pizza pie, like this.
tom segura
Really?
bert kreischer
But he hauls fucking ass.
joe rogan
You haul ass snowplows?
bert kreischer
Like 60 miles an hour.
60 miles an hour, Joe.
ari shaffir
I see a bump, I'm like, I'm hitting air.
And I fucking jump, get air.
joe rogan
That's why you're always breaking things.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah.
Can you call up your notes again?
tom segura
Yeah, what do you need?
ari shaffir
That's the last note.
tom segura
It said, dominate.
ari shaffir
Yeah, thanks.
joe rogan
So what have you broken an ankle and a wrist in the last two years?
ari shaffir
Wrist, toe, chasing a dog.
That doesn't count as something.
Poison Ivy.
bert kreischer
How are you chasing it like this?
tom segura
You know who's a sick skier?
Like a badass skier.
ari shaffir
Costa.
tom segura
No.
that promoter that Burt works with.
unidentified
That guy is fucking really good.
Tommy buns.
Oh my god, I'm gonna pass out.
tom segura
We have to figure one out, man.
bert kreischer
I really think that the direction I'm going in with hip hop dance is the right direction.
joe rogan
Shut your mouth.
bert kreischer
Because, Joe, it puts you out of our playing field.
joe rogan
What is your playing field?
Hip hop dance?
tom segura
Explain to me this, though.
ari shaffir
It's no one's playing field.
I don't agree with that.
I don't like that it's something someone's already done.
That's why even if I did this, I would have to go further.
tom segura
Here's the only thing I don't like about the Hip Hop Dance Challenge.
No, I like that one.
bert kreischer
Replay that again?
tom segura
The running one.
I feel like we already know how it's going to go.
ari shaffir
We know how it's going to go.
bert kreischer
Dominate.
ari shaffir
You're going to talk shit to Joe.
I'm an idiot.
bert kreischer
Dominate.
tom segura
Because we would just track miles.
Is that what we would do?
bert kreischer
We get the rock shoes.
ari shaffir
We already know how it's going to go.
bert kreischer
Wait, wait, wait.
How do you guys think it's going to go?
tom segura
No, there's no thinking.
We already know how it's going to go.
bert kreischer
Thank you?
tom segura
Nope.
Psycho over here would fucking do, he'd log like 2,100 miles.
joe rogan
Everyone's going to die.
tom segura
Yeah, and then he weighs a fucking buck 35, so halfway through the month he'd be like, you know, I can actually do 10 at a fucking chop now.
He'd fucking pick up all these miles.
And then you'd break down.
joe rogan
And then Ari would get mad at me for doing steroids.
He brought me up at the Comedy Store.
I was the Lance Armstrong of comedy.
tom segura
We would be...
unidentified
He said he won a So Rocked Over contest because he was on steroids.
ari shaffir
That was your introduction.
tom segura
Is that what you said?
ari shaffir
I said, this next comic is so funny, he recently won a fitness challenge by cheating on steroids with his friends.
joe rogan
He beat me to fitness contest!
bert kreischer
I remember being with Ari when he realized you were using steroids in the car and he goes...
joe rogan
Not steroids, testosterone replacement therapy.
bert kreischer
Yeah, okay.
unidentified
If I start using steroids on top of that...
joe rogan
If I actually used steroids, it would be even more ridiculous.
tom segura
Hey, by the way, what are you, a fucking chick?
Keep drinking over here.
bert kreischer
Yeah, let's do this.
Come on, I need some confidence.
I say we do an archery challenge.
Now, hear me out.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
ari shaffir
How about least amount of time spent with your kids?
joe rogan
Ah, Ari wins.
bert kreischer
I probably beat him.
Jesus.
tom segura
That's probably true.
joe rogan
Ari, I'm hanging out with your kids.
ari shaffir
Okay, honestly, for real, for real.
No joke.
I don't mind the phone thing.
It's definitely not catching on.
And I don't mind the fitness hip-hop challenge.
bert kreischer
Ooh.
ari shaffir
It would be a good weight loss thing, just the same as yoga was, like a ridiculous...
tom segura
It's a fitness thing.
joe rogan
You're thinking about doing it to get...
You actually want to lose weight, huh?
tom segura
Lose weight?
joe rogan
No, I'm talking about that recently.
ari shaffir
I'll tell you what.
After the yoga, my skin...
And it's probably a lot because of the booze, too, and whatever else I do.
But, like, my skin looked good.
I looked good.
I looked good.
bert kreischer
I didn't hate the yoga, to be honest with you.
Yoga was very good for you.
tom segura
I'll tell you another component you mentioned earlier.
I did this for, like, a...
Maybe 12-day stretch at the end of the weight loss challenge was nothing but water.
And that makes you feel fucking amazing after a minute.
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
tom segura
Because we were doing the weight loss battle, and I just didn't drink anything but water for almost two weeks.
And everything changes.
The way you look, the way you feel.
I only drank water.
joe rogan
We drink terrible things.
bert kreischer
We?
tom segura
Drinking them right now.
bert kreischer
See, I was making a joke about my right arm just puts shit in my body that I don't want it to do.
He's got a mind of his own.
He's just like, I go, what the fuck are you doing, asshole?
joe rogan
Drinking.
Yeah, Diet Coke, Coke, orange juice, anything but water, right?
Most people.
tom segura
Yeah, I mean, you're usually...
For me, I mean, I can get by on a lot of combination of coffee and water.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I could just do coffee and water and be fine.
tom segura
Yeah, I mean, I still will have some other things, but I don't do it a lot.
joe rogan
Just coffee and water.
tom segura
But when you just do water, though, when you just drink water, you definitely...
After you get over the...
What's it called?
Withdrawal?
Whatever the other thing is?
You definitely feel good, man.
joe rogan
I went a day without caffeine.
By the end of the day, I had a headache.
tom segura
I get upset.
I get angry.
joe rogan
I have a headache.
tom segura
I get a real headache.
joe rogan
That's exactly what it is.
ari shaffir
I'm telling you, not this year, next year, whatever.
When you do get off your phones, you're going to have those same withdrawal symptoms.
tom segura
No, you're right.
bert kreischer
You're right.
unidentified
For sure.
bert kreischer
I got back on my phone.
I was on the tour bus off my phone.
We were texting about some bullshit, and then I was like, ah, I'm hopping on Twitter.
And I got on Twitter, and it became my life right again.
Like dipping.
I cannot dip tobacco.
joe rogan
Why?
bert kreischer
Because if I do, I'm right back in.
joe rogan
You dipped for a long time?
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
bert kreischer
I miss it so much.
joe rogan
Really?
tom segura
Florida will do it to you.
unidentified
Why did you miss that?
tom segura
That's why I started dipping.
joe rogan
And you won't go back to it, but you drink.
unidentified
Except for that.
tom segura
People were doing it.
bert kreischer
Oh, it's so bad for you.
joe rogan
Dipping's worse for you than booze.
tom segura
I don't know if it's worse.
Definitely not good for you.
bert kreischer
It's definitely not good for you.
joe rogan
There's no geniuses out there dipping.
tom segura
I love that fucking burn right here.
unidentified
The burn is...
Oh!
joe rogan
Let's start dipping for that month.
You ain't thinking that good.
It's a nice little signal.
It's a flag.
If you've got a big fucking fat lip of dip, you're letting people know.
You're making irrational choices.
tom segura
You're letting people know you're strong.
You're ready for anything.
bert kreischer
Zach Galifianakis used to go on stage at the Improv with a dip in his mouth.
tom segura
Did he really?
Yeah, he's a Carolina guy.
ari shaffir
No way, did he really?
bert kreischer
I swear to God, he'd go on with a big dip in his mouth and just spit.
joe rogan
Did he tell the people that he dipped in his mouth?
bert kreischer
No, of course he wouldn't.
Zach as a comic was so much fucking fun.
He was a great comic.
joe rogan
I miss him as a comic.
tom segura
He is hilarious.
bert kreischer
Did you see him at Brody's?
tom segura
Oh my God.
bert kreischer
Oh, he...
ari shaffir
Brody at a party?
joe rogan
Brody's gone.
Jesus, man.
bert kreischer
Brody passed.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Zach opened it.
tom segura
Dude, Zach was amazing.
bert kreischer
And he was fucking hilarious.
ari shaffir
Yeah, his live stand-up is...
Go ahead.
bert kreischer
No, his stand-up was...
It was amazing.
I used to love watching him.
joe rogan
He's super tight with Brody.
ari shaffir
He's so out there, Jack.
bert kreischer
My wife doesn't think anything's funny.
Zach Galifianakis had a joke that to this day I think is just a great joke.
You know it's time to do laundry when you get out of the shower and dry off with a shoe.
Dude, fucking just great.
unidentified
That's hilarious.
ari shaffir
Yeah, one that I'll never forget where he was doing crab work.
He's like, what's your name, Joe?
And it's like, what's your name?
bert kreischer
Bert.
ari shaffir
It was just like, what?
Out of nowhere at the improv.
unidentified
Bullshit!
bert kreischer
He was funny at Brody's ceremony.
Not as funny as Jeff Ross.
Jeff Ross.
Jeff Ross.
tom segura
Oh, my God.
Jeff.
Well, Jeff's...
But...
Well, Zach's was like touching and sweet and funny, and it was like everything you'd want at a memorial.
Ross just came up there and just...
Because everybody was so kind of, you know, sad and tense and emotional.
He opened...
His opening joke was so savage and hilarious.
bert kreischer
Brody's, Brody's, all Brody's high school friends had gone up, like seven of them.
tom segura
And then friends from baseball, like telling all these, like so there was, you know, you see Zach, and then like three of these friends, and then another comic, and then like three of these friends.
bert kreischer
And then Jeff just went up and he goes, you know, after hearing so many of Brody's high school friends come up and speak about him, I know I killed himself.
In the fucking room.
tom segura
The place just...
bert kreischer
His mom was in the room.
tom segura
He had to wait like 30 seconds to talk because everybody just fucking fell out of their seats.
bert kreischer
It was.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
That's what really comedy is best at.
tom segura
Definitely.
unidentified
And he, Jeff, is so good at that.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's his world.
Ball busting.
tom segura
Oh my god, the best.
He's the best at it.
joe rogan
So no hip-hop dancing, boys.
ari shaffir
I don't know, dude.
bert kreischer
Honestly, what you're going to see, Joe, is you're going to see an onslaught of people online going, Joe, hip-hop dancing is not a bad idea.
joe rogan
This is where you and I differ.
I'm not going to see shit.
That's why I'm so happy.
ari shaffir
Go ahead.
unidentified
Let me see you pop and lock your way out to the door.
bert kreischer
Why don't you dance your way out to the door?
joe rogan
Dude, like vanilla ice.
ari shaffir
Hey, take my kombucha bottle out with you.
So, it should be something that none of us are happy with.
joe rogan
I'm not happy with this show.
bert kreischer
I think the fun thing about Subur October, when we first did it, was that we were all miserable together.
Joe wasn't so miserable, but me, you, and Tom would all just commiserate.
That was fun.
joe rogan
Well, I didn't like being sober.
It was weird.
And I didn't like the weird dreams that I was having when I was going through THC withdrawals when my REM sleep was kicking in.
That's when I realized that THC definitely suppresses REM sleep.
Definitely.
bert kreischer
You think it does?
joe rogan
100%.
It's proven.
It's proven it does.
It does something weird to your sleep.
And Dr. Matthew Walker is a sleep doctor.
That's the best way to describe him, right?
bert kreischer
Oh, I'd listen to that podcast.
joe rogan
Crazy podcast, but he talked about it, the mechanism, what THC does.
It helps people go to sleep, but there's certain parts of the sleep that you're not getting.
Now, there's an argument that not getting that sleep is okay.
That you're getting plenty of sleep because the reason why THC puts you in that dream, you're recovering.
There's an argument that somebody made online that I don't know if it's correct.
Someone wrote an article about it.
That is okay to not get that.
ari shaffir
That's a good point.
joe rogan
Whatever kind of sleep that came from the THC. Let's see who can sleep the most in October.
Love that idea.
ari shaffir
Love that idea.
Most hours sleeping.
joe rogan
Do you take Ambien?
bert kreischer
No.
unidentified
No?
No.
joe rogan
Do you take anything to go to sleep?
bert kreischer
No.
I'll take Xanax every now and then.
My cardiologist told me never to take them.
So I'll get a prescription for 30 for a year and I won't use them.
joe rogan
He told you never to take them, so I'd take 30 in a year.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
He gave me a prescription for 30. Oh, but you didn't use it at all?
He goes, don't take them.
They melt your brain.
ari shaffir
Oh, my God.
bert kreischer
And you know what's so funny is they do melt your brain.
joe rogan
How so?
bert kreischer
If you take one, the next two days...
I remember morning radio, like old school morning radio, when you go in, you have to be on to go to the next subject and slide your joke in.
And you remember leaving going, God damn it, I'm sharp.
Take a Xanax, and that doesn't happen for two days.
You can't jump in a conversation like that.
Oh, wow.
I noticed it because I was taking them and I just stopped and I was like, oh, I'm a lot sharper, just fucking nothing.
joe rogan
So like if you would go on stage and have to ad-lib something, you just wouldn't have it in you?
bert kreischer
First time I ever took one, I got on a plane thinking, because I used to have a drink on the plane and start writing jokes.
I took a Xanax and, oh, these are going to flow out of me.
And I just sat there staring at the paper, going like, my brain's turned off.
All the fucking scary thoughts are gone.
unidentified
Fuck.
tom segura
Taking what?
unidentified
Xanax?
bert kreischer
Xanax, yeah.
tom segura
It's a great one.
joe rogan
I can't believe I have to pee again.
bert kreischer
For real?
joe rogan
Yeah, I do too many podcasts in a row.
I do two in a row.
I drank like 18 bottles of water.
unidentified
I'm in love with Lambs Armstrong's fucking coffee.
joe rogan
It's Laird Hamilton's coffee.
bert kreischer
Laird Hamilton's coffee.
joe rogan
Is this his?
That's Laird Hamilton's coffee machine.
bert kreischer
That's the fucking greatest coffee I've ever had.
tom segura
What's so unique about it?
joe rogan
It actually has an R in there.
Turmeric.
tom segura
Turmeric and what else is in there?
joe rogan
I didn't know it had an R in there until like a week ago.
ari shaffir
Turmeric, yeah.
It always sounds like turmeric.
joe rogan
That's what I thought it was.
ari shaffir
Turmeric.
joe rogan
I thought it was turmeric.
tom segura
Can I combine the mornings to just get coffee and take off?
Is that cool?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Anytime.
bert kreischer
Fuck yeah, of course.
Let's put parameters around that.
There's so many times I want to come over here and just do bench press.
joe rogan
Dude, you can come over anytime you want.
bert kreischer
For real?
joe rogan
Yes.
ari shaffir
Joe says that, and then every once in a while...
Someone will take advantage.
He'll be like, whatever!
Come to the UFC whenever you want!
And then someone will be like, can I get every single one this year?
I'll be like, fuck.
tom segura
But that's abuse, man.
joe rogan
There have been people that do abuse things.
I've had people that say, hey man, I want to come to the UFC. I go, yeah, sure.
Can I get eight tickets?
unidentified
Like, what?
Eight?
joe rogan
Just ask for eight fucking tickets to a sold-out fight?
bert kreischer
I wish there was a gym membership here.
ari shaffir
To Rogan Enterprises?
tom segura
Let me know.
bert kreischer
We're here all the time.
ari shaffir
I just need this stretch.
bert kreischer
I'm not that guy.
joe rogan
You can do it.
During a podcast, the security guys, they work out.
Just go work out.
ari shaffir
You see them on there.
It's like watching Alien here where you're like, where are they in the ship?
You can see them everywhere.
bert kreischer
It's so cool here, man.
tom segura
This is rad, dude.
bert kreischer
I want to create this for myself.
joe rogan
You can.
I'll help you.
bert kreischer
I'm talking to my promoter about it.
joe rogan
That guy?
What's his name again?
tom segura
Roger.
joe rogan
Roger.
tom segura
He's a great guy.
joe rogan
That's not his name.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
You know what this place is missing?
A gun range.
ari shaffir
Oh, fuck yeah.
tom segura
I'm gonna go to one.
joe rogan
Like one of them gun ranges where the fucking paper comes at you.
unidentified
There's a place here that does...
tom segura
What's it called?
joe rogan
Laser tag?
tom segura
No, no, no.
A place that does...
What's it called?
joe rogan
Tactical training?
tom segura
Tactical training.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I'm going with Reggie Watts.
tom segura
You're going with Reggie?
joe rogan
Reggie Watts and I are going.
Yeah, in Simi Valley.
You guys want to come?
tom segura
Yeah, I think that might be the place.
joe rogan
I just talked to somebody.
ari shaffir
We're doing no training.
tom segura
That might be it even.
joe rogan
Yeah, I bet that's it.
Yeah, Reggie and I are going to do it, and then we're going to do a podcast afterwards.
ari shaffir
Why does he want to do it?
joe rogan
Yeah, Reggie's from Montana, you know.
Reggie knows guns.
tom segura
Can I tell you something?
Have you ever seen him perform live?
ari shaffir
That's crazy.
joe rogan
His music?
tom segura
Just perform.
Yeah, just like on a show.
bert kreischer
I've never seen him.
tom segura
You ever seen him do a show?
ari shaffir
It's crazy.
tom segura
You will feel like what you do...
ari shaffir
Is nothing.
tom segura
Is not a talent.
Like, is not a skill.
I'm not kidding.
I saw this dude do a...
This is years ago.
This is, like, at least seven years ago.
Maybe eight years ago.
He did a 10 to...
At most, 15-minute set.
And it was so unbelievable that he got a prolonged standing ovation on a fucking 10-minute set.
Do you know how crazy your 10-minute set has to be?
joe rogan
What was he doing?
tom segura
Dude, he was just improvising songs on the spot, and then he would do that thing where he would make a certain sound, and then with the machine you'd tap it, and it loops, and then start building it, and he would do that.
And then he would just have a funny aside about something, and then take it back.
But the songs he was building in the moment were so...
It wasn't like he was going like...
You like that?
I mean, it was like a full orchestra.
Yes.
You see it and you go, there's something about musicians that when you can see a certain musician, you don't view a comedian where you go like, oh my fucking God, I cannot believe the level of talent of that person.
You might think they're really funny or laugh a lot, but you're not going to be like, I've never seen something like that.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
tom segura
And with music, I think that...
That can happen.
unidentified
He's that talented.
ari shaffir
I saw him stand everybody up at Bonnaroo, a place where everybody was bombing.
Just a tent.
It's not for comedy anyway.
He's got everybody on their feet.
He just has a power.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
He's like that, yeah.
joe rogan
Super nice guy, too.
tom segura
That dude's super talented.
ari shaffir
But then he puts you in the crowd.
If he's not talking to you, you're also like, now you're standing up and doing whatever.
tom segura
I talked to somebody that went on a tour with him around that time and it was like four of them a night doing like ten cities together and I was like, what order did you guys pick?
He was like, what do you fucking think?
That dude went last every night.
joe rogan
You never want to follow someone who's really good at music.
You just talk?
tom segura
Yeah, you suck.
joe rogan
They used to have a problem with that with middle acts.
That was one of the things that happened with...
With Mitch Hedberg.
Mitch Hedberg was on the road, and the middle act was a guy who was doing raps.
He had raps and songs and things he would sing, and he was crushing.
And then Hedberg would go on afterwards, and Hedberg's super deadpan.
bert kreischer
Deadpan, slow.
joe rogan
That is the worst...
Who booked that?
tom segura
Or you ever have a middle act in a club who just stayed a middle act but for like 15 years but became super proficient doing 20 minutes and you're like, this is fucking thunder.
Oh yeah!
And it would be like a guy who's like, you know, he became an older guy.
joe rogan
Ladies, you know what I'm talking about.
tom segura
Oh, man.
But it's like to a T. Roy Johnson.
bert kreischer
Roy Johnson in Tampa.
unidentified
I wasn't going to say his name.
bert kreischer
Roy Johnson in Tampa.
unidentified
You said his name?
bert kreischer
I don't think he's not in stand-up anymore.
unidentified
Wait a minute.
joe rogan
I thought Roy was the name of your...
What's your promoter's name?
unidentified
Shut the fuck up.
It's Roger!
bert kreischer
Roy Johnson was a monster on stage in Tampa, and you could not fucking follow that guy.
joe rogan
Really?
bert kreischer
He was a monster.
He quit doing comedy.
He's selling cars in Tulsa now.
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude.
unidentified
Why?
bert kreischer
He was...
You could not follow that motherfucker.
Sam Tripoli and him had beef because they did a show together.
And there was a secret shopper in the audience.
He used to hire secret shoppers to rate the comedians.
unidentified
In Tampa.
bert kreischer
Yeah, I remember this.
And Roy destroyed.
I mean...
tom segura
Yeah, no, he did.
I remember.
I had him, too.
I had him for a weekend.
bert kreischer
It was a hard guy to follow.
You worked with him.
unidentified
And those guys, too.
ari shaffir
They think, like, I'm better than the headliner.
And you're like, I can't disagree with you 100%.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
tom segura
Well, here's another thing though, but when you're keyed into that, like when you get in and on Thursday you see that, it definitely raises your game for the whole weekend.
ari shaffir
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
For sure.
Because you'll see it.
And that guy will have that.
He'll be the guy that stayed in that city.
joe rogan
How the fuck did he quit and start selling cars if he's that funny?
ari shaffir
Because he was a feature.
What is he going to do for a hundred bucks a set?
tom segura
But he probably, if I remember right, probably didn't start at like 20 or 22. I think he was a little older.
When he started, which kind of moves it.
bert kreischer
And he also, it's like...
joe rogan
Wanted to stay in town.
bert kreischer
Well, I think...
I think.
tom segura
A relationship will always make it happen.
bert kreischer
I'm friends with Roy, but no, I think that it was the thing that you get addicted to murdering.
And you don't grow past murdering.
And you don't go like, I'm going to go up and take chances because I want to blow the headliner offstage.
Now, I'm not shitting on Roy, but he just destroyed.
But I don't think he ever took the chance where he was like, I'm going to go up and bomb tonight and see if I can figure something out.
I think that's ultimately what happens to the features.
There's a lot of them, man.
I worked with all of them.
joe rogan
There's some pro features for sure.
tom segura
I had one I remember who, he's the story of the guy who was headlining in those clubs for like a decade or more.
Didn't like break out, break out, but obviously he was like a proficient comedian.
joe rogan
Right.
tom segura
Then, like, you know, it always has, like, somebody has, like, personal stuff happen, and then it's, like, family stuff, and, you know, for whatever reason, then they're, like, still in it, but now they've been doing it, like, 25 years, and then just needed the work, so it would take middle weeks.
I mean, you know, those dudes would fucking...
joe rogan
Hurt you.
tom segura
Oh, yeah, dude.
For sure.
joe rogan
Guys who really knew how to crush, especially they knew local references.
tom segura
And then they're just like, and they've been doing it for, imagine 25 years and they're like, just do 20 and do it for like 10 weeks in a row.
Those dudes are assassins.
joe rogan
They get sharp.
ari shaffir
They don't even care if you're like tired of your material.
It's like, I'm just here to kill.
joe rogan
That's all the headliners in Boston.
tom segura
Yeah, the Boston guys.
joe rogan
That's all they did.
unidentified
For sure.
tom segura
Because those guys would do 15 or 20 a night.
joe rogan
They'd do 15, 20 a night and then they would do it like three, four of them in a row and then bring up Billy Crystal.
I'm not joking.
Billy Crystal ate shit at Nick's Comedy Stop that way.
A lot of guys did.
They set them up.
It's rude.
They set up these big name headliners.
A lot of it was jealousy.
This fucking guy thinks he can come here.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
And they would set them up.
Bang, bang, bang.
They would put their biggest hitters.
Steve Sweeney, Kevin Knox, Don Gavin.
unidentified
Bang, bang, bang.
joe rogan
Lenny Clark.
Boom, boom, boom.
And then these poor bastards would come in from out of town.
And these guys would talk in all this Boston talk.
And then you've got a bullshit-ass act anyway.
You know, you're just kind of drifting.
You're just in between movies.
You thought you'd do a little comedy.
Make yourself feel good.
Go up and see your adoring fans.
Hey, yeah, I'm just gonna fuck around in Boston.
I'll just go down there, and I don't really have an act right now.
I'm just piecing it together, but I'll be fine.
And then you watch Gavin smash, and Sweeney smash, and the fucking room is falling apart.
And you see these poor guys, like, the look in their eye, knowing they were going to certain death.
bert kreischer
Nothing worse than following a crossover black act.
unidentified
Crossover?
bert kreischer
Like a black guy who can play to white audiences, where you just go up and you're young, you're like 32. Feels racist.
joe rogan
Taking marketing classes?
ari shaffir
Feels racist.
I don't know if it is, but I'm still listening.
bert kreischer
I'll just say his name.
unidentified
B.T. would fucking destroy.
joe rogan
I can't hold my piss anymore.
bert kreischer
Go piss, go piss.
ari shaffir
I can't boot your battle right there.
tom segura
Do you think the hardest act to follow would be like BT? Oh, BT was an impossible follow-up.
ari shaffir
Okay, hardest act to follow, me and my Stacey always do this, but also the place.
So just to give you an example of what I'm talking about, following Mike Marino at a fucking cop convention.
unidentified
I got it.
ari shaffir
You know what I mean?
bert kreischer
I got it.
ari shaffir
Okay, go ahead.
bert kreischer
I'm going to tell you the hardest weekend I've ever had in my entire fucking life.
tom segura
Yes.
bert kreischer
I go to Miami.
tom segura
I almost don't believe you.
bert kreischer
Nope.
ari shaffir
Already?
tom segura
No, I don't because I always saw him fucking...
He's one of those guys that could just at least kill.
ari shaffir
At least do well afterwards.
bert kreischer
I get booked in Miami.
It's my first headlining week for the improvs.
And I don't sell any tickets.
And they give me a call and they say, we need to bring in another comic who's already in town to help you sell tickets.
tom segura
What are you doing right now?
What are you doing?
ari shaffir
I'm just taking my shoes off.
tom segura
And your socks off?
ari shaffir
I don't know, dude.
These fucking mushrooms are far stronger than I thought they were.
unidentified
I don't know.
tom segura
Oh, that's right.
ari shaffir
I forgot too.
tom segura
I was like, what?
I'm sorry, I forgot that.
ari shaffir
I was like, this is insane, man.
What am I doing?
unidentified
And I'm like, oh yeah.
tom segura
He's taking his shoes and socks off?
bert kreischer
Oh.
ari shaffir
What are you doing right now?
tom segura
I mean, you're pissing at the table, you're taking the fucking socks off.
Alright, sorry.
So you're in Miami.
I do want to hear this.
I just was super distracted.
bert kreischer
I'm almost passed out again.
Keep going.
tom segura
So you're in Miami.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And what happens?
There's another comic in town, and he's going to co-headline with you.
But the problem is, he's already brought his own feature.
He thought he was going to headline.
tom segura
Who was it?
bert kreischer
I'll give you the line up now.
So we've cut the host, so we got your feature, his feature, him, then you.
In Miami, in the heyday of Miami.
The first day.
I don't know him.
I've never met this guy.
tom segura
This is like 85. Yep.
bert kreischer
They go to the breakdown.
The host is going to do 15. The feature is going to do 15. He's going to do 40. You're going to do 40. Right?
That's a long show of your life.
This was the intro nonsense.
And imagine how hard this guy was to follow, especially in Miami, where everyone's Spanish-speaking.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Ricky Cruz, DJ Coochie, Steve Travino, and Burt Kreicher.
bert kreischer
Dude, I bombed harder than I've ever bombed in my life.
I mean, sweat dripping off my chin, onto my shirt.
joe rogan
I don't say that to too many people.
bert kreischer
I bailed on that whole set and I brought a black guy on stage and I brought a Cuban guy on stage.
joe rogan
And you let him fuck?
tom segura
Is this where the guy pulled his dick out?
bert kreischer
No, that's a different night.
But I go, I said to him, I go, I'm going to just, I go, your people don't understand me, so I'll say the joke and you translate it to your people.
And so then they're sitting on stage with me.
So I go, I was talking to this girl and the black guy goes, man, I'll spin game at this bitch.
And the place went nuts.
And I said it to the Spanish guy.
He just said it in Spanish.
Whatever.
And it fucking destroyed my whole act that way.
Whenever I had a joke, I'd have them translate it.
joe rogan
They sat on stage with you the whole time?
unidentified
That's a good move.
bert kreischer
Sat on my stage for 35 minutes and drank tequila with me.
joe rogan
That's a good move.
tom segura
See, that's what I'm saying.
bert kreischer
He figured it out.
ari shaffir
He figured it out.
tom segura
You're good at figuring it out, man.
bert kreischer
Steve Trevino destroyed.
tom segura
Of course he did.
Of course he was.
bert kreischer
Destroyed.
ari shaffir
Remember that set you had where you bombed and you played it for everybody?
bert kreischer
Tom's.
ari shaffir
I kind of have a half memory of that.
joe rogan
I mean, I played on the podcast.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I played like clips of it.
unidentified
You don't understand.
bert kreischer
Tom used to bomb better than anybody.
tom segura
I don't think it was good.
bert kreischer
Tom's the best bomb you've ever sat in the back of a room with.
tom segura
That was not good.
bert kreischer
How about Sacramento?
tom segura
That's the fucking worst.
joe rogan
The punchline?
What is it?
tom segura
No, it was called the Laugh Unlimited.
ari shaffir
Yeah, we did that once.
I like that place.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a good spot.
When I was there, I was like, this is a good spot.
tom segura
Do you know what the worst thing about a bomb?
A bomb on a Friday night.
And you bomb on the early show, and you can't believe how hard you just bombed.
It's life-altering.
You bomb harder on the late show.
And they're both sold out.
So it's not like eight people.
It's like packed to the gills, man.
joe rogan
What was the catalyst?
tom segura
The catalyst?
I mean, he got me at it.
Because I remember that I was like...
I remember rethinking my life tonight.
Like after, you know?
joe rogan
Jesus.
tom segura
It was that bad.
But then...
joe rogan
What started it?
What started the bomb?
tom segura
What started the bomb was the opening joke.
Because I was just like...
bert kreischer
By the way, before you tell your opening joke, Tom is great with feeling uncomfortable in a moment and taking it to the next level.
We're in Hawaii with Russell Peters.
The one thing they say is do not mention negative shit about the Hawaiians.
Tom's opening joke.
Do you remember it?
Man, they said island life's slow.
I didn't know they were talking about your metabolisms.
Holy shit, you guys are fat.
ari shaffir
You did the same shit in Australia.
Don't mention aborigines.
tom segura
First word.
bert kreischer
Don't mention Japanese people.
Man, I got lost on bass today.
Luckily, I ran into a Japanese guy.
He pointed me out.
They know everything about this bass.
joe rogan
He's over there drinking his own piss.
tom segura
Oh my god, you got me for a fucking fraction of a second.
I was like, no, he didn't.
ari shaffir
He took his fucking socks off.
bert kreischer
You looked at it!
tom segura
I was like, he's really lost his fucking mind.
joe rogan
How hammered is he?
He's drinking his own piss.
bert kreischer
So wait, how did your bomb go in Sacramento?
tom segura
Dude, the Sacramento bomb was the month after Hurricane Katrina.
So I opened with a joke.
I don't remember the wording of it, but it was like how there were reports of people raping.
People in the aftermath.
And I was like, yeah.
I was like, I opened, I was just like, you know, nothing like seeing dead bodies float by that makes me want to fuck somebody, you know?
And then I just kind of like, would riff about like, you know, dead people and then being like, now I want to fuck.
And it would eat so much shit.
And then I would go, you know, you have that thing, you're like, well, I'll just go to my act now.
Like, I'll just go to life.
It was already too late, and I would bomb for the full...
Actually, you know the funny thing is...
joe rogan
You made it to both shows?
bert kreischer
Yes.
joe rogan
The second show, you were like, I know there's something to this.
tom segura
This is funny.
bert kreischer
I was like, this is funny.
Nothing like seeing a dead person on a TV floating by that wants to be going to fuck.
joe rogan
It's just the timing.
The timing's off.
unidentified
I'll get it.
Dude, she...
tom segura
That fucking...
That club lady came up to me.
Leslie.
You know, like, your new feature at a club?
I remember she came up to me, she goes...
The bomb feels so bad, and you're sweating so hard, and you're like, man, this is emotionally just taxing, right?
You're just like, god damn.
And I walk off stage, and I run into her.
She goes, I thought you were supposed to be funny.
I was like, oh, fuck.
bert kreischer
She sat next to me during a set.
tom segura
She goes, you can't read?
And I go, what?
She's like, you're supposed to do 25. You did 23. And I was like, ah, fucking, alright.
And then, like, that's the first show.
Then the second show literally is worse in an inconceivable way.
It is worse.
ari shaffir
Did you try to save that joke again?
tom segura
Yeah, I tried to open with it again.
ari shaffir
No, this joke works.
unidentified
I was like, this works.
And then...
tom segura
I ate it so hard.
ari shaffir
Here's how hard I eat it.
tom segura
I eat it so hard that I'm middling, and the MC's like, damn, dude, you fucking suck.
He's like, I've never seen...
ari shaffir
He's scoring off you?
tom segura
He was just like, it was that big dude.
bert kreischer
Tom McLean.
tom segura
Yeah, he was just like, god damn, I've never seen anything like that.
bert kreischer
In a fun way.
In a fun way.
Big, jovial guy.
tom segura
Yeah, he was jovial.
bert kreischer
Goddamn, you fail like big lots.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
tom segura
And then the next day, I was like, I don't know how I'm going to do this, man.
And Bert goes, can I give you one piece of advice?
And I go, yeah.
He goes, just open different.
Just do whatever you want, but just open on a different joke.
I was like, all right, man.
And at the time, I swear to you, that fucking first show, Saturday, Probably the best set that I've ever had.
Like, unbelievable set.
joe rogan
Did the lady go, oh, okay.
tom segura
No, no.
She goes, I felt redeemed.
joe rogan
Right.
tom segura
Like, I fucking destroyed it.
joe rogan
Right.
tom segura
I mean, like, the MC is like, Jesus, I've never seen a turnaround like that.
I'm like, this feels like I... I walk around and I see her.
And she goes, what?
I didn't hear anything.
She pretended like she didn't know.
bert kreischer
She watched.
I grabbed her.
She kept coming up to me going, you said he was funny.
You brought him with you.
And I was like, trust me.
The best part about his bomb was Tom used to have longer hair.
tom segura
The amount of weight I lost during the sweating?
bert kreischer
He used to have longer hair and he'd comb it back so it would be up, right?
And as he bombed, it starts to fall.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
And then it starts to get wet.
And then it starts to run down his head.
tom segura
It was soaking wet.
bert kreischer
It was great.
tom segura
It was like I jumped in a pool.
Like, I was fucking soaking wet.
joe rogan
That feeling when you're eating shit, it's not like anything else on earth.
tom segura
I remember that he was up on stage, and somebody yelled at him, like some lady, and he's like, well, you're a fucking dog.
joe rogan
You said that?
tom segura
And the room was like...
joe rogan
The room turned on him?
Yeah, they'll turn on you.
tom segura
And then he won them back.
I remember him winning them back.
I was like, God damn.
bert kreischer
I used to have some quick go-tos on that.
Hey, honey, your mouth...
God made your mouth for one thing and it's not talking.
joe rogan
Oh my God, what does that mean?
unidentified
I can't even believe that's a joke.
bert kreischer
It's irreproachable.
ari shaffir
I would love to hear a feminist in the audience who say that now.
joe rogan
This thing's flashing.
Jamie, why is this flashing?
This one's flashing red.
tom segura
This one is, too.
They're recording.
joe rogan
Oh, they're recording.
ari shaffir
Oh, that's on.
tom segura
You guys both had mushrooms.
joe rogan
No, they don't usually flash.
He took his socks off.
Those mushrooms didn't really do much.
bert kreischer
Look at his shoes off.
tom segura
His shoes off?
joe rogan
I said the mushrooms.
unidentified
I took his shoes off.
joe rogan
I felt something.
ari shaffir
They got me a little bit for sure.
joe rogan
Did we eat them during the show?
bert kreischer
Right before the show.
tom segura
Right before the show.
ari shaffir
No, it wasn't enough that would have sent you to the moon.
joe rogan
It's nice.
It gives you a little nice thing.
ari shaffir
But, like, my palms are sweaty and I'm fucking out of it.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm definitely sweaty.
bert kreischer
Is that what you get?
Your palms get sweaty?
joe rogan
Guys, arm spaghetti.
unidentified
Listen to me.
bert kreischer
Arm spaghetti.
unidentified
Oh!
bert kreischer
Rap battle!
joe rogan
Rap battle.
ari shaffir
Rap battle for health.
No, listen.
Guys, I'm serious.
unidentified
It's either techno, hip-hop challenge, or folks.
bert kreischer
Hip-hop challenge.
joe rogan
It's not physically difficult, though.
ari shaffir
It's mentally difficult.
bert kreischer
No, but it's not fun to watch someone do nothing.
That's the point, Ari.
You want to watch people do stuff.
ari shaffir
Have your affairs.
joe rogan
Since when is it about anybody else other than us?
bert kreischer
No, but...
joe rogan
People tune in.
If they like it, they like it.
But you don't do it for other people.
unidentified
Yes!
bert kreischer
Hold on, Joe.
ari shaffir
Listen to an artist, Tom.
Shut up.
joe rogan
The first...
The first challenge.
bert kreischer
Don't use Instagram challenges watching a holding your breath challenge.
You're like, is he really holding his breath?
I don't fucking know.
joe rogan
Well, Bert, everyone doesn't have to be in on every goddamn thing you do every day.
I'm taking a shit.
Hey, guys, I'm going to bring you in here.
unidentified
I'm the shit champion.
ari shaffir
Hey, guys, look up!
joe rogan
The shit champion!
unidentified
I just took a shit on Instagram first.
I'm probably the best.
bert kreischer
Probably the best shit of all time.
tom segura
What do the girls say when you're posting?
bert kreischer
When I post, they're like, Dad, it's Mom.
In the background.
I'm like, shut the fuck up.
tom segura
That's so funny that your kids do that to you.
bert kreischer
Dad, don't use the N-word.
joe rogan
Stop it!
bert kreischer
Stop it!
Everyone shut the fuck up, Dad's got a girlfriend.
joe rogan
And you're just trying to stream and provide for the family.
bert kreischer
Yeah, fuck them.
They don't realize I've leveraged their futures for our income right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what it is.
Yeah, you paid a hefty price.
bert kreischer
Oh, dude.
Yeah, my kids do not like that I've talked that much about them.
joe rogan
Well, you should probably not have done that.
bert kreischer
I remember who you are.
He's like 20 fucking 20, Joe.
unidentified
Early on, he was like, really?
You mentioned your kids?
You're like, yeah, why not?
bert kreischer
I was like, 10 years ago.
unidentified
He's like, my kids are fucking stupid.
joe rogan
That's what he said.
That's what he said.
He said, they're not even going to know.
He said, they're not even going to know.
I go, what if people come up to him in the mall and they say, hey, your dad was talking about you.
unidentified
It's in the special.
joe rogan
It's in the special.
He's like, these two idiots.
Oh, my God.
bert kreischer
I would call George on the phone on stage the other day, and everyone's yelling, and they're like, no, I'm George, you're the smart one.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus Christ.
bert kreischer
Don't, don't, look.
I was being honest.
I didn't know another way to do stand-up.
joe rogan
I get it.
I get it.
bert kreischer
You do it one way.
joe rogan
It's fine for most of the world.
That's the thing.
Like, most things are fine for most of the world.
It's just a small percentage of people that are just wired all fucked up.
ari shaffir
Guys, we gotta go.
tom segura
I gotta go soon.
joe rogan
10 to 6. Yeah, we gotta go.
bert kreischer
I think you're gonna see the online community.
joe rogan
No, I'm not gonna see anything.
bert kreischer
Well, I'll forward them to you.
joe rogan
I'm not gonna look.
I'll block your number.
unidentified
Can you just pull up one hip-hop dancer so we can look at it?
bert kreischer
No music.
Just show her video of someone dancing.
unidentified
Go to Stance Elements.
joe rogan
If we're gonna do it, we should breakdance.
Go to Stance Elements and watch some of these guys do it.
unidentified
No, no, no.
ari shaffir
Here's a video.
Look up Chet Faker.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
ari shaffir
This is great.
Yeah, some dance.
Look, I'm a real dancer.
bert kreischer
Dee Glazer.
I'm telling you, this is how we'll shoot it.
I'm a fan of this girl.
Dee Glazer is her name.
She's a choreographer.
She's got blonde hair.
Give her Nelly.
Nelly from the loop, and I'm proud.
joe rogan
We can't play that.
bert kreischer
We're going to play the music.
Just watch her dance.
ari shaffir
Okay, let's watch it.
bert kreischer
And this is what we'll be doing, Joe.
And I really think you're going to like...
joe rogan
What are you selling this?
bert kreischer
Look at this.
unidentified
This is Joe.
joe rogan
I'm already out.
bert kreischer
No, Joe.
Yeah, right here.
joe rogan
What the fuck are you talking about?
bert kreischer
Who is D. Glazer?
ari shaffir
She's a Cardinals fan.
That's her?
bert kreischer
Yeah, Country Grammar.
First of all, this is us, Joe.
joe rogan
Anything that doesn't require you to lose weight, I'm not in.
ari shaffir
Dude, look at her body.
It's in fucking great shape.
bert kreischer
Dude, this is us doing these moves.
unidentified
Her name is D. Glazer?
bert kreischer
Her name's D. Glazer.
joe rogan
Okay.
She's great.
bert kreischer
And this will be us.
joe rogan
Imagine how much funnier it'll be when you do it, though, because you're fat.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
unidentified
I'll be...
tom segura
Do you think you can learn to do this?
bert kreischer
100%.
unidentified
You do?
bert kreischer
100%.
joe rogan
He thinks he can do a fucking split.
You remember?
ari shaffir
That thing?
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
Can you do this?
bert kreischer
That's me.
tom segura
Yeah, you can train.
bert kreischer
Hold on.
You think you can do this?
joe rogan
I could get my body to move that way if someone taught me and I spent the required amount of time.
bert kreischer
A month.
joe rogan
Maybe not in a month.
bert kreischer
One month.
joe rogan
No, not as good as her.
bert kreischer
Do you think in one month you could be better than all of us?
joe rogan
Oh, I would definitely be better than you.
And that's all that counts, right?
bert kreischer
Oh, Joe, Joe, Joe.
Come on, this is me and Tom and you and Ari.
We do one all together.
tom segura
He likes the belt, bro.
ari shaffir
What's it called in the back?
tom segura
Ari, do you think you could learn to do this?
joe rogan
Look over here, Bert.
unidentified
It's mine.
joe rogan
I'm not getting rid of this.
bert kreischer
Tell me a challenge that you think is fair for all of us.
tom segura
Everybody should weigh in right now.
What do you think it should be?
ari shaffir
Do you know how embarrassing this is?
Because that place like that is right near my apartment.
I walk by on the way home from not working out and I look through the window at them doing crazy dances like that.
joe rogan
I understand.
No matter what this challenge would be, I'm crazy.
bert kreischer
And I'm going to keep this.
joe rogan
I'm going to keep this.
This is mine.
I like this.
I like having it.
Look at that.
Look over at that.
You're never going to get this, Bert.
bert kreischer
I'm getting it if we do hip-hop dance.
joe rogan
No, you think so.
bert kreischer
Are you in?
ari shaffir
Okay, can I say this?
joe rogan
You didn't get it with the weight loss challenge.
tom segura
I'm in.
joe rogan
By the way, Tommy, you should get a weight loss challenge belt.
I think we should probably make one.
tom segura
That'd be a great idea.
bert kreischer
It's a horrible fucking idea.
tom segura
It's a great idea.
joe rogan
Um...
Get on it.
Jamie, let's order it up.
We need a weight loss challenge belt for Tommy.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
tom segura
By the way, brand it tour bus champ too.
bert kreischer
I want a marathon belt.
joe rogan
Okay.
ari shaffir
You're the only one who tried that.
joe rogan
Don't they give you like a button or something when you win a marathon?
Or you run it?
ari shaffir
Can I get a Jew?
bert kreischer
Yeah, they do.
tom segura
You know why?
Because your promoter had one.
I saw them when I was in...
unidentified
Oh, shut the fuck up!
joe rogan
They give you one of them erasers that go on top of a pencil that nobody ever uses.
ari shaffir
The triangles?
unidentified
Yeah, the ones...
joe rogan
Like as if pencils are so crazy and you use up that eraser.
Boy, you need an external eraser.
bert kreischer
Oh, shut up.
Get Cam Haynes on the phone.
Call Cam Haynes right now.
He'll tell you how it's superior.
Now listen, what about...
What about this?
Hold on.
God damn it, I had the fucking greatest idea.
unidentified
What did he say?
tom segura
He had the greatest idea.
ari shaffir
Hold on.
You break in when you remember it.
If we do it, the hip-hop challenge, we need...
No one's going to be there to cheer anybody and queer the judges.
It has to be just us.
joe rogan
You can film it if you want.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you can't queer.
joe rogan
Can't queer the judges.
Are you allowed to say that anymore?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I think that's the proper language.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
Well, it's in the...
That's my friend Miriam Nakamoto's snacks.
Snackamoto snacks.
ari shaffir
So just us, and then get actual judges who don't know us to decide.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
You have to really make a real place.
bert kreischer
I think three people are into it, Joe.
I think you just got to say, give us an alternative.
Give us an alternative.
joe rogan
Let's come up with something where we don't need judges.
I don't want to bring judges in.
Because then we have other people.
Then it's going to get gross.
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
joe rogan
It's a bad idea to bring in judges.
Any judges.
tom segura
Because it just hands the power over to this group of people.
joe rogan
Yeah, other people in our organization, too.
I don't want to even talk to other people.
bert kreischer
Okay, that makes sense.
joe rogan
I'm trying to cut people out of my life.
I'm not trying to add two hip-hop dance judges.
unidentified
I don't have the time.
joe rogan
I like Ari's idea.
I like Ari's idea, no social media for a year, except I have an empire to run.
unidentified
I know.
ari shaffir
You can run it.
Just go, Jamie, post it.
We have a new video.
Post it.
joe rogan
I don't trust it.
ari shaffir
No, you'd have to give your password to an assistant.
joe rogan
Look at him over there.
He's sneaky.
tom segura
He's sneaky.
joe rogan
He'd check my DMs.
bert kreischer
Why don't we each fuck Jamie and see he judges who's the best?
joe rogan
I'll see you at the elevators.
See all them dick pics coming my way.
ari shaffir
Yeah, the judges is a real thing.
bert kreischer
You're right.
Judges is a real thing, but I think we're in the right direction with hip-hop dance.
joe rogan
Why?
Because it's your invention?
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
I just think it's something silly.
ari shaffir
None of us are good at it.
joe rogan
If you lose again, there should be a real penalty for you.
tom segura
Yeah, what's the real penalty?
joe rogan
It'd be a real repercussion for you.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you'd put us into this in the first place.
I don't like Joe and Tom.
bert kreischer
But you're the worst.
tom segura
This is a good one.
If you come in last, you give us, spread it out collectively, a million dollars.
ari shaffir
That seems fair.
Yeah.
You're doing better now.
You're a tour bus champ.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
You are a tour bus champ.
You have to think about that.
tom segura
Dude, just sign up for it.
You're not going to lose if those are the stakes.
bert kreischer
What is the competition?
Wait, hold on.
Hold on one second.
ari shaffir
Just let's talk.
joe rogan
Being a tour bus champ comes at a price.
tom segura
Dude, my bus was so fucking sick.
joe rogan
You can't just be Tour Bus Champ.
unidentified
I was Tour Bus Champ.
joe rogan
Listen to him.
But Bert, do you understand that this is strange?
That you keep failing at these things, and yet you keep bragging every time we get together and contemplate a challenge.
bert kreischer
I've had so much success when it comes to you guys that I think sometimes you guys forget about it.
joe rogan
What?
bert kreischer
I was tour bus champ.
tom segura
You're not.
bert kreischer
That doesn't mean anything.
Admit I was tour bus champ.
unidentified
That doesn't mean anything.
bert kreischer
Admit it.
Just admit it.
You know you've admitted me privately.
joe rogan
Is Willie Nelson alive?
Then you're not the tour bus champ.
tom segura
The bus that I was on this week is better than any bus.
bert kreischer
That's not when the tour bus championship was going on.
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
Who's tour bus champ?
Let's say why.
tom segura
It's me, of course.
ari shaffir
How come?
tom segura
Because I have the better bus.
bert kreischer
Did you ever take a picture of your bus and put it online?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Oh, really?
tom segura
Yeah, and you had it fucking photoshopped a hundred times.
bert kreischer
No.
tom segura
That was my bus.
bert kreischer
The outside of your bus doesn't count, Tom.
The inside of your bus that looked like a prison yard.
tom segura
It just looked like a prison yard.
bert kreischer
Did it not have a broken transmission?
No internet?
TVs that didn't work?
ari shaffir
You had no internet on your tour bus?
bert kreischer
He had no fucking internet on his tour bus!
joe rogan
I want you to pause for a second and imagine a world where the thing that you're bragging about when you've been called out for failing two challenges in a row, hard as fuck, that the first thing you're talking about is the shape of the bus that you drive around in.
bert kreischer
I didn't start Tour Bus Champ.
He started Tour Bus Champ.
joe rogan
How much is prepared?
Was the transmission bad?
Well, then I win.
ari shaffir
Yeah, good point.
joe rogan
Did you get a flat tire?
unidentified
Well then I'm the champion!
I'm Leonardo DiCaprio at the front of the fucking Titanic!
ari shaffir
We had a challenge, you came in last.
You're deflecting.
What are the repercussions for you fucking pussing out?
bert kreischer
Well, I'm not pussing out.
Stop with the fucking...
joe rogan
One of the reasons why I have this right here is because I read about you saying that you were going to put it on your mantelpiece.
And I'm like, that's never going to happen.
ari shaffir
Yeah, your Mickey mantelpiece.
tom segura
Joe, can you entertain a circumstance in which you think Burt could beat you?
ari shaffir
Make a game.
Like the old hustler.
Make an even game.
Where it could be anybody's at this point.
joe rogan
Like a pool game?
Is that what you're saying?
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
We're not playing pool.
ari shaffir
I'm never going to beat you a pool.
joe rogan
I'd have to have some form of lymphoma or something.
There's something really wrong with me.
A physical thing?
But he moves so well.
tom segura
You move like the wind.
It is something.
I've seen you move.
joe rogan
It's like that Christopher Cross song.
tom segura
Terry Shivo couldn't move better than you.
You really can move, man.
joe rogan
Bert, there was days where I was like, man, I'm tired.
Then I thought about you.
unidentified
This is my middle!
tom segura
Ari's standing now.
You took your socks off.
joe rogan
You fucking pissed.
unidentified
We're on mushrooms.
joe rogan
We took mushrooms.
Didn't you forget?
ari shaffir
That's right, I forgot.
joe rogan
He and I are both on...
tom segura
I gotta go, man.
joe rogan
That feels good.
That's a good amount of mushrooms.
ari shaffir
What are we doing?
We don't have an agreement yet.
We should.
And also, you do need some repercussions for fucking blowing it back.
bert kreischer
Hold on.
Let's not forget I'm the only one that ran a marathon.
ari shaffir
That wasn't part of that month.
joe rogan
We didn't ask you to.
But it doesn't seem like you are willing to face reality.
bert kreischer
Tell me what reality is, I'll face it.
joe rogan
Well, reality is Ari Shafir didn't work out at all.
And even though you did run a marathon, Ari Shafir didn't work out at all!
unidentified
Yeah, I beat you.
joe rogan
For a decade!
bert kreischer
I agree with you.
joe rogan
For a decade!
He smoked you like a fucking fine cigar.
ari shaffir
Why are you suggesting anything in life?
And not just like...
unidentified
How are you talking shit to Ari when Ari didn't work out for 10 years?
bert kreischer
I'm the only one that came in with a challenge other than get off our fucking phone.
joe rogan
He's got ripped.
What the fuck are you?
bert kreischer
What did you sit down for?
unidentified
He had a six pack.
joe rogan
Did you ever see the video of him on my fucking rowing machine?
bert kreischer
No, I saw it.
You guys teamed up against me.
unidentified
I get it.
bert kreischer
Here's the deal.
joe rogan
We teamed up against you.
bert kreischer
He's my competitor.
joe rogan
He's my second place guy.
ari shaffir
I let him use my gym.
How?
joe rogan
How do we team up?
I literally...
He's my competitor.
ari shaffir
He was gone.
joe rogan
He was my closest competitor.
I took the day off.
ari shaffir
That's true.
joe rogan
I did.
ari shaffir
I took the day off.
bert kreischer
Listen, I've said ad nauseum.
I can't believe we're covering this.
I've said ad nauseum.
Tugging on Joe's tiger's tail is a big mistake.
Ari was massively surprising and Tom was a fair, fair competitor.
Now, I will say, I am just giving up ideas of what to do next October.
ari shaffir
We do need ideas.
bert kreischer
And I believe that Ari's idea was, I think, us not doing something is not fun to follow if you are a fan of the podcast.
Us not doing it, like, hey guys, let's sleep, wouldn't be really fun.
ari shaffir
It would be how many hours of hip-hop dancing we put in.
bert kreischer
There we go, now we're talking about something.
ari shaffir
Why hip-hop dancing, not klezmer?
bert kreischer
What?
Name it.
You guys want to do Riverdance?
joe rogan
Riverdance.
tom segura
Fuck no.
joe rogan
Let's do some dance that sucked when it was invented.
ari shaffir
I don't want to do dancing.
It's just hitting me right now.
I'm fast-forwarding to fucking Tennessee.
bert kreischer
Say another idea.
I'm in.
I'm in.
But I liked what we did with Hot Yoga.
tom segura
The easiest thing to do is something that you don't need a lot to take with you.
You know what I mean?
bert kreischer
Running's not bad.
I like running a lot.
I do like running, but I don't want to be the one sitting here promoting running.
I'm trying to think out of the box.
Running is a great idea.
It really is a great idea.
joe rogan
The only thing that's great about running is that if we did do it for the whole total miles of the month, it would get savage.
ari shaffir
It would be problematic.
bert kreischer
Could you do?
tom segura
We'll get hurt.
bert kreischer
People will get hurt.
What?
tom segura
Bert and I will seriously lose like 40 pounds.
ari shaffir
My knees are going to be gone afterwards.
I'm only running on cement.
bert kreischer
What's his name?
What's the guys that you just had?
joe rogan
Eddie Izzard.
unidentified
Eddie Izzard.
bert kreischer
Could you do a marathon a day, Joe?
joe rogan
Well, I think it's physically possible to do a marathon a day.
I know you could...
Well, it would be way easier for me than for you.
ari shaffir
Yeah, much easier.
bert kreischer
Once again, I'm too drunk to even talk shit anymore.
tom segura
By the way, when he said that, you looked at me like you're like, I'm going to do that.
joe rogan
Listen...
tom segura
Are you going to do a marathon a day?
joe rogan
It's not...
It's not healthy for you to keep living in this world that you've created.
It doesn't even make sense.
bert kreischer
What are you talking about?
My drinking?
joe rogan
No, no, that's normal.
The drinking along with this proclamation of awesomeness.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not the drinking.
The drinking's fun.
It's fun.
tom segura
You're a fun guy.
bert kreischer
Let's do running.
joe rogan
But the thing is, you need to be punished if you lose.
unidentified
Yeah!
joe rogan
It just doesn't make sense.
We got way more.
There's a whole table full of whiskey over there.
And then we got gas monkeys tequila here too.
bert kreischer
Let's do running then.
If everyone agrees on running, I'm in on running.
joe rogan
It's going to get ugly, guys.
tom segura
Running is going to get ugly.
joe rogan
I'm going to do a marathon a day for sure.
tom segura
What are we going to wear to track our, so that everybody has the same thing, to track their miles?
bert kreischer
The Rock's got the shoe.
joe rogan
Well, you could wear the rock shoe or you could just get an Apple watch.
tom segura
No, no, no.
joe rogan
That way we could use our watch only for phone calls and then talk and do it if you ever send text messages and that'll do Ari's challenge at the same time.
Are we doing this?
So it'll eliminate our need for social media for the month.
bert kreischer
So wait, hold on.
joe rogan
We're running on an iPhone.
We'll do as many miles as we can for the month.
The whole thing would be how many miles can you run in a month?
I'm going to tell you, I'm going to open up the first day with 30. 30?
30 miles.
tom segura
Day one?
joe rogan
I'm going to open that up.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Hold on, now.
Are we talking...
joe rogan
30 miles in a day.
In a day.
I'm going to do 30 miles a day.
tom segura
Here's the thing.
Earlier this was mentioned, though.
That part I believe.
ari shaffir
I do believe that.
tom segura
I believe that.
Here's what I want to know.
This makes a huge difference.
Yeah.
Because if we're tracking those miles...
We all have to track the miles with the same app.
bert kreischer
Wait, wait.
Say it again, Joe.
tom segura
What?
joe rogan
30 miles.
tom segura
We have to track them out with the same app.
ari shaffir
No growth hormone for any of us.
You have to agree no growth hormone, no testosterone.
You have to agree.
unidentified
I agree.
ari shaffir
No growth hormone, no testosterone.
tom segura
Wait, wait, wait.
joe rogan
You should all get on growth hormone.
bert kreischer
Let's all get on growth.
joe rogan
Actually, you should all get on testosterone.
But you should get off high blood pressure medication before you get on anything.
ari shaffir
You should kill yourself first.
And then figure out the rest.
unidentified
You really shouldn't be as large as you are.
Hold on.
joe rogan
You got all the way down to like 212 or something like that.
What did you weigh?
bert kreischer
I have impulse problems.
ari shaffir
What did you guys weigh at the beginning of that first year challenge?
tom segura
What did you get up to on this tour?
bert kreischer
Tom, you're such a cunt.
tom segura
No, I'm asking!
bert kreischer
I tell you a secret.
unidentified
It's not a secret.
What are you talking about?
It's not a secret.
Don't act like I'm Devolt tossing a picture and showed it.
ari shaffir
It was such a fucking disgusting picture of Bert.
And Bert goes, it was a shellfish reaction in Denmark.
joe rogan
Shellfish reaction in Denmark.
That's hilarious.
tom segura
Hold on.
Okay, wait, wait.
Here's the way.
Now, this is important for the challenge.
I think we all have to track the miles the same way.
Is there going to be a stipulation that these miles can only be tracked outdoors on pavement?
joe rogan
Yes, because if you're on a treadmill, if it's GPS, the treadmill's not going to show anything on GPS. It has to be movement.
It has to be actually physical movement.
bert kreischer
Is there a speed we're talking about?
ari shaffir
Nope.
tom segura
No, we can't do it.
joe rogan
Just distance.
tom segura
I was going to ask run versus walk.
jamie vernon
There's a nap I saw recently that tracks walking.
ari shaffir
You know, it takes a lot longer to walk a mile than to run a mile.
unidentified
Yeah, but you can walk all day.
ari shaffir
That's fun.
joe rogan
Because, you know, if you're tired and you're running and you want to walk for a mile, that's fine.
tom segura
You remember the Silver Lake Walker?
joe rogan
All distance.
ari shaffir
You remember that guy?
tom segura
Silver Lake Walker.
This dude looked like a fucking lizard.
joe rogan
You just walk around Sober Lake?
tom segura
Dude, he would walk.
I'm not kidding you.
From like 6am and you would see him at 8pm.
joe rogan
Was he schizophrenic?
tom segura
He was a doctor.
Yes, there was like a little scandal where he died in this hot tub.
You would see this guy.
joe rogan
He died in a hot tub?
tom segura
Yes, somewhere.
There he is.
joe rogan
That was the guy?
tom segura
That's him.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
So he would just walk around trying to sling dick?
tom segura
I don't know what...
joe rogan
He looks like a guy who slings dick.
tom segura
And he would hold the newspaper.
I used to see this dude everywhere.
joe rogan
Oh, and he walked around like that?
tom segura
Yes, all day.
He killed himself, it said.
joe rogan
And he would read.
tom segura
Oh, I like it.
unidentified
Did it say that?
joe rogan
It said...
Click on that lower picture again.
It said he killed himself.
Look at that.
Killed himself.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Oh, my God.
tom segura
That's...
joe rogan
Killed himself, LA coroner concludes.
tom segura
But that wasn't initially the report about that.
That it was a mystery how this guy had died.
joe rogan
Mystery solved.
tom segura
It's in the newspaper.
joe rogan
Yeah, I guess.
unidentified
That's the funny thing about rumors.
tom segura
Yeah.
unidentified
Can I tell you this?
I was late on the stand.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're pretty.
He has his toenails painted.
They're all pretty.
ari shaffir
It's really beautiful.
joe rogan
I'll take a picture of it.
Kathleen Madigan?
unidentified
No.
McGee.
ari shaffir
Yeah, in Calgary.
Can I just tell you this?
I was late for the stand.
This was about a year ago when the stand was still open.
And I was like, fuck, and I started running.
I was at second...
I was at 16th Street and 2nd Avenue.
I started running and eventually I was out of steam.
I had to stop.
And when I stopped, I was at 16th Street, not yet to 3rd Avenue.
So I tire out under a block.
I'm not enjoying the idea of going into this and just starting to run a fucking show.
tom segura
You know how last year you got into a fucking zone?
joe rogan
You got into a zone.
tom segura
You have a runner's body, dude.
joe rogan
He thought he was going to win at one point.
tom segura
You have a runner's body.
joe rogan
There was a moment somewhere around week one.
ari shaffir
When you said I got to go hunting, I'm offline for a second.
I was like, oh, I'm close.
joe rogan
Yeah, I had to go hunting for, but I shot an elk on the second day.
tom segura
That's right, so you came back.
Would we have been a little more, like, you think it would have been a little easier on us if you had hunted for five days?
joe rogan
Yeah, but I was wearing my thing.
So I was hiking.
I got 600 points one day.
bert kreischer
Oh, you did?
He was working out hiking.
Yeah.
tom segura
No, no, I know.
joe rogan
When you're hiking, man, your heart rate gets jacked the fuck up.
tom segura
When you came back from hunting, you did more than that, is what I'm saying.
I went crazy when you came back.
joe rogan
Guys, can you just put yourself a thousand in a day on one day?
ari shaffir
It's going to happen.
joe rogan
One day, I did 900, and then I came in here and worked out for another hour after I was done.
So I did...
tom segura
I was hurting that last day.
ari shaffir
Can you guys try to remember?
Okay, October 18th.
You're going to wake up, and you go, fuck, I have to just run a bunch now.
Oh, and Christina's like, let's hang out and make omelets.
tom segura
I know, I know, dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not going to be easy.
unidentified
No, it's a bad month.
tom segura
It's a bad month.
joe rogan
And you're all going to die.
bert kreischer
I'm cool with it.
joe rogan
There's that, too.
tom segura
Bert, what place do you think you'll come in?
bert kreischer
Probably for a second.
For a second.
ari shaffir
First or second?
bert kreischer
Yeah, one or the other.
I mean, probably first, but maybe second if something spectacular happens with Joe.
joe rogan
That seems outrageous.
bert kreischer
I'm going to be getting on growth, right?
ari shaffir
So we all do growth.
tom segura
How about this?
bert kreischer
Right now, I would love to do growth.
joe rogan
I should definitely do that, but before you do that, you should definitely lose some weight.
You shouldn't just get on stuff.
You should stop drinking so much.
unidentified
You know what that's going to be easy to do?
tom segura
Australia.
You're not going to drink at all.
joe rogan
When you're over there, you definitely won't drink.
I mean, they don't even like drinking in Australia.
They'll set a good example.
tom segura
Dog cunt!
ari shaffir
They don't accept you're not drinking.
joe rogan
Those people go hard over there.
ari shaffir
Maybe you're not doing this fucking cut-up coke we're doing tonight, but you're for sure drinking.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're going to have to do shoeys over there.
You're going to have to drink beer out of shoes.
bert kreischer
Do you ever see me do the shoey on TV? I don't even want to know you did that.
Just pull up burnt shoey.
It's a beautiful picture.
Oh, you've seen it.
I like running.
I'm cool with it.
And I'm cool with no social media.
ari shaffir
You're letting him talk into his own thing again.
bert kreischer
By the way, I'm the only one that came up with an idea that was fun.
tom segura
I jumped on board with it, man.
I think it's a good idea.
I told you I like it.
joe rogan
Terrible idea.
tom segura
I like it.
I like the hip-hop idea.
ari shaffir
I do like it in terms of none of us have any experience with that.
joe rogan
That's the fun part with it.
That's great.
tom segura
The judging part is a true problem.
joe rogan
It's a real problem.
It's an untenable issue.
You're going to bring in these people and you're going to go, The reason why I thought Burt won...
Get the fuck out of here.
bert kreischer
You're right about that.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here.
unidentified
Bert came from a different starting point, so I gave him extra points for that.
joe rogan
Fuck you, Bert.
unidentified
Fuck you.
joe rogan
You can't win like that.
If you're going to win, it's going to be, you have to win.
And that's what you're scared of.
You're scared of actually having to win something.
tom segura
If we do the straight up running thing, Bert wins for sure.
joe rogan
Sure.
Definitely.
Definitely.
100%.
bert kreischer
I love that you have a direct line into my brain where you can see what gets my heart rate.
joe rogan
I can see anxiety forming.
I can see it forming in the air above you.
tom segura
Here's the order if we do the running thing.
bert kreischer
Go ahead.
tom segura
You get first.
bert kreischer
Okay.
tom segura
Your promoter gets second.
joe rogan
What's his name again?
tom segura
Joe gets third.
joe rogan
What's the promoter's name again?
unidentified
Fuck.
tom segura
What's his name?
joe rogan
The one guy.
The only you.
ari shaffir
The only...
I came in here today thinking I was going to tell you guys I'm out.
Really?
joe rogan
It's too much fun.
tom segura
You're doing it.
joe rogan
You're doing it.
ari shaffir
Shut up.
bert kreischer
You're totally doing it.
joe rogan
Alright, we did mushrooms.
You can't go.
tom segura
You are doing it.
bert kreischer
You guys doing mushrooms for the show might have been the fucking best way to start this show.
joe rogan
Feels good.
bert kreischer
I'm going to have to do that November 1st.
joe rogan
My whole body's tingly.
It's like a nice mushroom high.
It makes you realize what you really like about mushrooms.
bert kreischer
I got November 3rd off.
Are we going to do a gig together, the four of us?
joe rogan
Yes.
I can't with you.
tom segura
What the fuck, bro?
I won't be here.
bert kreischer
Where are you going to be?
joe rogan
What the fuck, bro?
tom segura
I fly back in November, November 4th, and I'm in New York all week.
joe rogan
You know what we should do?
ari shaffir
You're what?
joe rogan
Let's go to New York all week.
ari shaffir
That's two people down.
tom segura
Okay.
joe rogan
Ari, are you still doing winters out here?
Are you still doing the winter?
tom segura
I could do a New York show.
I could do a New York show.
bert kreischer
Let's do a New York show.
ari shaffir
New York show.
bert kreischer
I know a venue.
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
You know a venue in New York?
You can find us a venue in New York.
tom segura
Can you suggest a place?
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
So Ari, you're not coming out this way at all?
ari shaffir
No, I... Yeah, I come as...
joe rogan
You know what would be fun?
If we decide, like the four of us decided to do a destination.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like...
ari shaffir
Some crazy desert.
joe rogan
I was just thinking Vegas, but that's not really a destination.
ari shaffir
No, like Saskatoon.
tom segura
You know what we should do?
We should do some shit that you don't normally hit on a tour, like somewhere in Wyoming.
You know what I mean?
ari shaffir
Or Idaho.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
I do Boise.
tom segura
I do Boise.
I love Boise.
ari shaffir
I love Boise.
joe rogan
Boise is amazing.
Maybe we could do something in like...
ari shaffir
I saw a guy in Boise break his ankle.
unidentified
Yeah!
ari shaffir
Mexico, or New Mexico.
joe rogan
No, not Mexico, Mexico, bro.
tom segura
New Mexico.
joe rogan
I had Ed Calderon on the podcast the other day.
That's where I got this.
Oh, yeah, he's super Mexican.
He was one of the Border Patrol guys.
He was describing the whole cartel wars and how it all went down.
And it all was happening right when he signed up to be a cop, and he basically became a paramilitary operator.
Like, Jesus, just trying to fucking deal with shit that was going down the border.
Don't try to take that.
ari shaffir
I'm trying to space it out so it doesn't crumple up.
joe rogan
Trying to get your greedy hands on this.
tom segura
What about Montana?
joe rogan
I know what it is.
Montana's cool.
bert kreischer
Are we talking about a destination just for us to hang out for the weekend?
joe rogan
To do a show.
tom segura
We'll do a show and hang out.
ari shaffir
Wait, are we saying November?
tom segura
A November date.
joe rogan
November 3rd.
We can do a November in Montana.
It's cold as fuck.
ari shaffir
There's no reason to go there in November.
bert kreischer
It's alright.
joe rogan
Unless you like skiing.
tom segura
Well, that's what people go there for.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
November's the season already?
unidentified
Sure.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
For sure.
bert kreischer
We just meet Tommy in New York.
joe rogan
Dude, it's snowing.
Hey, it's snowing in Big Sky Saturday.
ari shaffir
You're going to be there anyway.
joe rogan
It's Saturday.
It's snowing in Big Sky.
ari shaffir
He's going to be there that weekend anyway.
bert kreischer
In November?
joe rogan
New York?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I'm going to be in New York.
bert kreischer
And I got November 3rd off as my only weekend off from stand-up all fall.
unidentified
Great.
ari shaffir
Right after that weekend, you come back.
We'll hang out in New York.
joe rogan
And by the way, we could just do a comedy clip, too.
Who gives a fuck?
tom segura
Yeah, that might be really fun, man.
ari shaffir
We could charge so much.
We could charge a normal amount of bird charges, usually.
unidentified
I'm all in a fucking ring in the cash.
Listen, I know a venue of my promoter.
bert kreischer
I've never charged anything to shake my hand.
joe rogan
You don't do that anymore?
bert kreischer
I've never charged for a meet and greet in my entire life.
ari shaffir
That's fair.
bert kreischer
I've never once.
I do a raffle.
ari shaffir
I know.
joe rogan
I'm mocking people that do that.
ari shaffir
It's gross.
bert kreischer
I think it's gross, too.
But you know what?
Teach his own, I guess.
joe rogan
I have friends that do it.
I get it.
tom segura
Are we agreeing on running?
Is that really going to be it?
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
This is what we did last time.
We got down to the wire last time.
ari shaffir
What we have time now is we don't have to agree to something dumb just because it's like, oh, fucking time is running out of the podcast.
joe rogan
That's how I like it.
ari shaffir
Running, hip-hop dancing, and obviously my idea of you guys are for sure fighting.
joe rogan
I like it when it gets weird like that.
ari shaffir
Let's ruminate.
joe rogan
I'm going to leave this right here for every show I do from now on.
I like it.
Look, it's so pretty.
tom segura
Bert?
unidentified
Huh?
tom segura
What did you do running?
joe rogan
He got hypnotized by the belt!
unidentified
He did.
You see that?
joe rogan
It's like Gollum in the frame.
tom segura
It's a beautiful belt.
ari shaffir
He wants it.
tom segura
Who made that show so fucking bad?
Who made that?
Who made that, Joe?
joe rogan
What is the company that made it?
unidentified
Pro-Am Belts.
joe rogan
Pro-Am Belts.
tom segura
They did a great job.
ari shaffir
Can you add an add-on that shows a bunch of pills on the side?
Because you just have no weed, no booze.
That's all there is in the world.
joe rogan
I think they just try to keep it clean.
unidentified
Keep it clean.
bert kreischer
It looks nice.
It looks nice.
joe rogan
It's a clean belt.
tom segura
You're going to have it, bro.
You're going to have it November 1st.
joe rogan
For sure.
bert kreischer
Listen, I'm well aware of the training that needs to go into this if we do running.
I personally think something sillier would benefit us, but I'm cool with whatever you guys pick.
joe rogan
Yeah, because you're happy coming in last with no consequences.
ari shaffir
Learn how to board.
tom segura
Are you saying you'll win either way no matter what it is?
joe rogan
He just comes in last and it doesn't matter.
That's the thing.
He talks all this shit.
He riles you up.
And I'm saying this as a guy who won.
It's not right.
unidentified
Wait, how about the million dollar payout?
tom segura
Are you going to do the million dollar payout?
joe rogan
It's not right.
What you do is not right.
ari shaffir
It's not right.
joe rogan
It's like fake bragging.
bert kreischer
Bullshit.
I believe in my own fucking abilities.
That's the truth.
That's horrific.
That's the most horrific thing you've said.
In my own abilities, I believe in myself.
tom segura
If Las Vegas will open the action on this this year, which we might be able to get them to do, I know I'm betting on you.
bert kreischer
Be honest.
ari shaffir
You bet on him to win a running challenge?
He does run every day.
He runs.
bert kreischer
I ran today.
Seven miles.
tom segura
You ran seven miles?
bert kreischer
Four, three, seven.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
On that fucking bullshit fucking running machine you gave me.
joe rogan
That thing's awesome, right?
bert kreischer
God, it's so hard.
joe rogan
The air runner?
bert kreischer
The air runner's a salt runner.
I used to hate it, now I like it.
joe rogan
The good thing is that's going to get you in shape for the real running that you have to do when you come in last.
tom segura
Oh, man.
joe rogan
Because that is harder than actually running.
bert kreischer
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
joe rogan
Those things are harder than running.
It's like 15% or 13% of it.
tom segura
How do you think he'll do?
joe rogan
He'll come in second again.
tom segura
You think so?
ari shaffir
No way.
joe rogan
Yeah, he'll come in second.
He'll get crazy.
tom segura
You're doing the thing.
You're kind of doing the opposite thing as him.
joe rogan
I know Ari better than you guys know Ari.
I know Ari better than you guys know Ari.
Because Ari and I have done jiu-jitsu together.
So I know how competitive he gets.
When you're fighting for your life, which is what you're doing when you're doing jiu-jitsu, you know what a guy's got inside of him.
Ari, she fears a little savage.
bert kreischer
But fighting for your life and running is a little different.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
It's his mind.
That's why I knew he was going to come in second.
I knew he was going to come in second when we did this Sober October thing.
I was just...
Yeah.
He gets crazy with stuff.
bert kreischer
Let's go.
I'm going to change my brain.
I'll switch it over.
unidentified
Let's go.
joe rogan
Unlike you, Bert.
He doesn't give up.
bert kreischer
I don't give up.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
Oh, fuck.
tom segura
Now you've got to feel it.
ari shaffir
Oh, my gosh.
joe rogan
Art doesn't fold.
tom segura
This is already set up.
I feel like the only thing that's not settled is what is...
joe rogan
But you know that's true, right?
That's not good for you.
What's that?
It's not good to talk shit and then just fold.
ari shaffir
Talk shit and never back it up.
bert kreischer
Listen.
joe rogan
Talk shit and then just slump.
tom segura
Wait, what is the...
unidentified
What is the...
What is the Bert?
bert kreischer
I am Conor McGregor.
No, you're not.
Sometimes you talk shit and you lose.
unidentified
Because you also have a one in three years.
joe rogan
Sometimes you talk shit and you lose.
tom segura
What's the burnt punishment?
joe rogan
The idea that you just said, I'm Conor McGregor.
When Conor McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo with one punch.
bert kreischer
If Conor McGregor was going to pick one person on this podcast to get behind, who do you think it would be?
Be real.
ari shaffir
It would be you.
unidentified
It would be you.
bert kreischer
In a heartbeat.
joe rogan
Seems weird.
bert kreischer
Conor McGregor would be like, that's my guy.
I'll bet money on him.
tom segura
I'll tell you what he would do then.
Can I tell you what he would do?
joe rogan
I guarantee you.
bert kreischer
Conor, let's team up.
tom segura
This is what Conor would do.
joe rogan
Thank God I'm on mushrooms.
tom segura
If there was an audience, he would get them all going about how it's you, and then when it's like, press the button to vote, right then he would go, Joe.
ari shaffir
That's how I would do that.
If his money was lit, he's betting on Rogan.
If he's talking about your showmanship, he likes you.
joe rogan
Do you think he would lose money just because he likes that you get drunk?
ari shaffir
That's a good point.
That's a good question.
joe rogan
He loses money because he loves that you brag and then fall down and then you love to get drunk.
ari shaffir
This is the sound of a man who doesn't think with his liver.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I think with my heart.
tom segura
Burt, what is the punishment?
joe rogan
Listen, we all...
bert kreischer
What's your singular punishment?
It's got to be group punishment.
tom segura
But I'm saying, let's say, let's start with you.
You come in last.
What is the punishment for coming in last?
bert kreischer
For coming in last.
Name it.
ari shaffir
A million dollars.
joe rogan
He's so happy right now.
unidentified
He's so happy thinking about coming in last.
bert kreischer
I can't even wrap my head around coming in last.
joe rogan
I can't even believe it.
No, he's happy.
He's looking forward to it.
He's looking forward to being comfortable.
He's looking forward to coming in last in front of a fireplace.
Curled up.
unidentified
No.
Name it.
bert kreischer
It's not a million dollars.
Name it.
joe rogan
Look at him.
bert kreischer
Dude, this, whatever's wrong with me, whatever got me into comedy, all the things that are wrong with me, this is the base of it right here.
I sent my therapist on there.
joe rogan
What does that mean?
bert kreischer
Because I believe, I genuinely I genuinely believe in myself in this moment.
joe rogan
Well, that's great.
bert kreischer
I genuinely believe in myself.
tom segura
I believe that you do that.
I believe that you believe in yourself.
joe rogan
100%.
tom segura
And I think you also know on some level you're coming forth in anything.
bert kreischer
I don't know if I'm coming forth, but I'll tell you, I'll be very honest.
As much as I believe in myself, I know there's something wrong with Joe.
I know that Ari has this fucking Lou Gehrig's disease.
ari shaffir
That's already a disease.
That's already a disease.
bert kreischer
Or whatever it is.
Mickey Mantle.
And I know that Tom is going to call me on the last day and go, Hey, you're done running, right?
unidentified
You're not going to throw me under the bus on this one.
joe rogan
Is that what you did on the last day?
tom segura
I called him on a treadmill.
unidentified
I called him on a treadmill from the gym.
tom segura
And I was like, I was moving.
I was like, are you doing it?
He was like, man, I swear to you.
I said to him, say what I said.
He goes, I'm with my family right now.
I'm with my kids.
And I heard like...
Kid's laughing and he's like, we're hosting a thing.
I stayed on that trip.
I was like, I still, on some part of my mind, doesn't believe you.
joe rogan
I didn't believe you.
ari shaffir
You gotta get safe.
tom segura
So I stayed on.
I stayed on.
And he goes, I swear to you, I'm done.
And I stayed in that gym probably 40 minutes.
bert kreischer
He still put up good numbers that day, but I did go like, I couldn't do it.
joe rogan
It was a weird thing.
I got on a plane that day.
tom segura
I didn't tell you guys I got on a plane.
I flew across the country that day.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, you did tell me that.
tom segura
Did I tell you that?
joe rogan
Yes.
tom segura
So I was like, oh shit.
joe rogan
This is what I loved about it.
What I loved about it is that we were seeing everybody's numbers.
Yeah, he's high on me.
Mushrooms.
ari shaffir
No, but I'm just thinking about this.
It's like, can't we start slow and have like a, alright, you did five miles, call it for the day.
You maxed out.
bert kreischer
No.
That's not how it's going to work.
joe rogan
We're going to the dark place.
bert kreischer
Here's what I'm well aware of.
I'm going to give you the cards in my hand right now.
unidentified
I've run 26 miles in a day.
bert kreischer
And I know that Joe's first day of running 26 miles is going to put him back for a couple days.
It's really hard to go right into that.
ari shaffir
He's going to train ahead of time.
bert kreischer
I know, I know, I know.
joe rogan
Start on October 1st, you moron.
bert kreischer
No, I know, I know, I know, I know.
But I know for a fact.
joe rogan
Let's start right now.
I'm going to leave this place and start.
If we make it, if that's the agreement, I'm going to get down to 180 pounds.
I'm going to lose 20 pounds.
bert kreischer
What are you right now?
joe rogan
200. You can do that?
Yes.
bert kreischer
No, but I mean like, in your head...
If you lost 20 pounds...
joe rogan
It's already done.
Yeah, I'm going to lose 20 pounds, and I'm going to run...
I'm going to start off with 10. I'll do 10 every other day.
And then by the time October ramps around, I'll be doing a marathon a day.
It's going to suck.
ari shaffir
It's going to suck.
tom segura
You think you'll do that every day?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm going to have to.
I'm going to have to show Burt what the fuck is up.
Then I'm not going to talk to him anymore.
ari shaffir
I don't like how...
joe rogan
No, no, no.
If he cuts it last, I'm going to block his number.
I'm just like, I can't do this anymore.
bert kreischer
That's why we should do hip-hop dance!
tom segura
Hip-hop dance.
bert kreischer
Hip-hop dance is so much more fun!
joe rogan
Alright, this shouldn't be fun.
tom segura
I gotta pee.
bert kreischer
This shouldn't be fun?
joe rogan
It shouldn't be fun.
It should be terrifying.
Last year was terrifying.
ari shaffir
What I'm saying is, if I come in last this year and there's all these fucking repercussions, and then he came in last and had nothing wrong with him, it's super unfair.
joe rogan
It's unfair.
You're right, Ari.
bert kreischer
No repercussions.
joe rogan
Someone should punish you.
You should be punished, Bert.
bert kreischer
Wait, why do I get punished?
ari shaffir
Because you're coming in last.
bert kreischer
So, give me a punishment.
I'm cool with the punishment.
joe rogan
No, we can't.
You can't have a punishment.
unidentified
Eat your own shit.
joe rogan
Eat your own shit.
How much?
A spoonful?
bert kreischer
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Can you eat your own shit?
joe rogan
What happens?
ari shaffir
I don't know.
tom segura
Dude, why don't you just give us each 300 grand and it's settled.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Oh, fuck.
Can I just say that I'm going to be in Columbus next weekend, so you may as well come out and see me at the Funny Bone.
joe rogan
I love that place.
The new one's even bigger, right?
ari shaffir
Yeah, but don't do shrooms when you come to see my show.
unidentified
Just fucking do it afterwards.
bert kreischer
It's such a great club, Columbus.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a great club.
It's a great town for stand-up, too.
bert kreischer
It's not as good as the Met July 27th in Philly.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
I'm announcing a shitload of dates tomorrow.
bert kreischer
Are you really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Announce them now.
joe rogan
I can't.
I don't know where I'm going.
ari shaffir
Cardiff Wales, June 25th for Ari Shafir.
joe rogan
AriShafir.com All of them will be announced tomorrow.
I'll put it, but I'm...
I got some dates coming up.
ari shaffir
You guys do your pre-sales, huh?
joe rogan
Oh, there's still 100 tickets left for Chicago this weekend, too.
bert kreischer
Where are you at in Chicago?
joe rogan
Some arena.
unidentified
Jesus, man.
ari shaffir
Dude, Rogan and I were in Chicago eating salads, and they were like, this is fucking super sweet, this salad.
And then we asked some lady, we're like, because we couldn't believe it.
And we're like, did you put sugar on this salad?
And she was like, is it too sweet for you?
bert kreischer
I'm like...
unidentified
Why would you put any sugar on a salad?
ari shaffir
And we looked around, the thinnest person looked like Bert.
It was like, everybody there was massive.
joe rogan
They love that fat, deep dish pizza.
Those are hearty Midwest folk.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
I love Chicago.
I love Chicago.
Yeah, but they put sugar on their salad.
ari shaffir
Sugar on their salad.
For one moment, take a break.
joe rogan
Nope.
ari shaffir
Get into it for dessert.
joe rogan
You want an extra pop with your pop?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You want more sugar on your salad, sugar?
ari shaffir
What are you playing there?
Massive place, huh?
joe rogan
Yeah, some big ass place.
bert kreischer
Is it different?
How different is it than the store?
joe rogan
It's different.
ari shaffir
Yeah, explain to people the difference between a small 100-seat room to a 5, 6, 13,000-seat room.
bert kreischer
But here's the problem.
It's the same material you're going to put on a special.
ari shaffir
Yeah, delivery stuff.
bert kreischer
So when you deliver it to 6,000 people, realize you're delivering it to one person on the couch.
joe rogan
It's a different kind of show.
bert kreischer
Do you find yourself talking louder or stuff like that?
joe rogan
It's different.
I mean, if you're there, it's fun.
But I don't think it would translate correctly if you're at home.
And that's one of the reasons why I think...
Like, I did my last one at the Wilbur, which is pretty tight.
It's like three comedy clubs stacked on top of each other.
It's 1,100 seats, but it's pretty intimate.
Like, the people are on top of you.
I think that's how you're supposed to do comedy at a special.
Because specials...
It's hard to be in that room.
And I've been saying this, I don't see if you agree with me.
I think that a special is only at its best, like, maybe 80% of what it's like to actually be in the room.
Because you miss the feeling of being in the crowd.
ari shaffir
I try to get my shoots, and I haven't ever gotten as close as possible to a lot of experience.
But you can see a show at a Mexican restaurant on a Tuesday with a bunch of amateurs, and you'll laugh harder than watching any of our specials alone in your apartment.
joe rogan
Yeah, comedy, being there live is really what makes it.
bert kreischer
I think a lot of comics mess up and they do their special for The Room.
And they go like, what's up here?
The place I'm at?
joe rogan
You say that though, but Cat Williams, the best part of his special was the 10 minutes he did on Tallahassee or Jacksonville.
bert kreischer
I would hard disagree.
joe rogan
Ah!
unidentified
That was the best part of the show.
bert kreischer
By the way, I'm a big fucking Cat Williams fan.
That is not my best Cat Williams stuff.
tom segura
We talked about that, about doing it not for the room.
unidentified
Jacksonville!
bert kreischer
You don't shoot a special for fucking Jacksonville.
ari shaffir
You guys especially are doing these massive, massive rooms, but then when people are going to see your special, almost all of them are watching in a really tiny room.
bert kreischer
I'm not doing my special in a big room.
It's like less than a thousand.
joe rogan
I'm thinking of doing mine at the Ice House.
I've been thinking about doing that a lot.
unidentified
For real?
ari shaffir
I've been thinking about it for a while.
joe rogan
But I'm pretty far out of doing a special.
I'm at least a year away from even thinking about it.
bert kreischer
I think the most important thing about doing a special is doing it at a place that has not seen you do stand-up.
That's the number one most important thing.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
I would do a special at the store.
bert kreischer
I would find that to be a mistake because you're there all the time.
You've been working this material in front of those people.
joe rogan
Only if it fucks your head up.
ari shaffir
What about the people?
Well, I get it on the level of like some of the jokes are surprise ending and they kind of like know what's going there.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
That's true.
bert kreischer
You don't want to do a special for people that have seen this material ever.
You want those people to never have seen this material the same way the people that are home never seen it.
joe rogan
There's 20 million people in LA, Bert.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but a lot of them will show up.
bert kreischer
A lot of your mega fans are going to show up and go, dude, I just saw him like six months ago.
I want to come and see it.
joe rogan
Well, what's interesting about the store right now is that you get comedy tourism there, where you're getting a lot of people that come to visit the store from all over the world.
ari shaffir
Yeah, true.
joe rogan
Let's see.
I met some dudes there just the other day from England and Ireland.
They flew in for the week to watch stand-up.
unidentified
That's wild.
tom segura
The store is massive right now.
joe rogan
It's crazy.
tom segura
The store is everywhere, man.
bert kreischer
It really is.
But the few things I have in my head is I like a rock venue and I like a place I haven't done this material in front of.
tom segura
Have you announced it yet?
Were you doing it or no?
bert kreischer
Yeah, Cleveland.
23rd of November, everybody.
joe rogan
You filming another special?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
In Cleveland, are you going to keep your shirt on?
No, for sure.
bert kreischer
No, I'm going to do shirt on.
I'll be super skinny after this marathon challenge.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
So you're doing it...
bert kreischer
No, I'm fucking shirts off.
joe rogan
Come on, bro.
bert kreischer
I'm going to have a fucking knee brace on.
Fucking orthopedic shoes.
joe rogan
The marathon challenge?
Sunbird as fuck.
When Ari's around...
bert kreischer
I look like fucking Forrest Gump.
Hi, everybody.
unidentified
I've been running.
I've been running.
joe rogan
When Ari's around and you open up a kombucha, you instinctively smell it first.
tom segura
Move that thing, man.
joe rogan
I smelled it.
ari shaffir
I got thirsty.
bert kreischer
Dude, I could do an entire podcast on specials, because I feel like I'm obsessed with the good ones, like what makes a great special.
Jesselnik's first joke, the best joke I've heard.
ari shaffir
I like those first jokes that come out really strong.
bert kreischer
You've got to have a first joke, man.
tom segura
It's a big problem.
bert kreischer
Anyone who says hi, any of that bullshit, fucking walk to the stage like Jesselnik or like Norm Macdonald and tell a fucking joke.
tom segura
Yeah, you see it now.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
I'd like Cat Williams going, Jacksonville!
I like that.
tom segura
He was hilarious in it.
bert kreischer
He's really great.
I'm being real, man.
I'm a comic.
I'm not a fucking...
I'm being real.
ari shaffir
I do this for a living.
unidentified
Are you being real?
bert kreischer
I'm being real.
But I didn't like it, man.
I'm not from Jacksonville.
And I've been to Jacksonville.
And I know Cat Williams.
Cat Williams is fucking brilliant.
Man, you know what Michael Jackson had?
He had this, this, this.
unidentified
You know what I got?
bert kreischer
I got this.
I'm trying to fuck bitches.
ari shaffir
And it doesn't matter where he is.
bert kreischer
Dude, I want to hear your new thoughts.
tom segura
No, dude.
joe rogan
We're going to end this podcast with no conclusion.
Because otherwise we'll be just going to fight with Jack Stevens.
tom segura
No, you didn't.
bert kreischer
You're drunk.
joe rogan
Cat Stevens is a Muslim.
Don't get in a fight with him.
It's a lot of people that got his back.
tom segura
Open your special strong.
unidentified
I'm being followed by a moon shadow.
tom segura
Moon shadows, moon shadows.
joe rogan
Alright, this is a wrap.
Ladies and gentlemen, Sober October.
We accomplished nothing.
ari shaffir
Can I promote one thing real quick?
If you guys ever wanted an excuse to do mushrooms, there's a mushroom festival happening in just two weeks.
June 15th, 16th, and 17th.
All you gotta do is take mushrooms wherever you are.
It's called Shroom Fest and fucking join in by taking mushrooms.
joe rogan
Listen, uh...
This was fun.
tom segura
It was a good time, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a good time.
bert kreischer
I love you guys.
As much shit as I talk, I love you guys.
ari shaffir
Yeah, talk to me again in fucking late October.
joe rogan
Yeah, we'll get it ugly again.
tom segura
Guys, TomSeguro.com.
