joe rogan
Shut up.
You'll be fine.
ari shaffir
Oh, he needs an excuse.
joe rogan
Boom.
And we're live.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
So, the last few weeks, we've been getting these annoying text messages from Ari where everything's in Spanish.
tom segura
Everything.
joe rogan
Everything.
What is this?
How long is this joke going to go?
ari shaffir
En escuela.
joe rogan
And then he gets here with a backpack on.
Like, where you been?
I was in Medellin.
unidentified
Medellin.
joe rogan
He was doing, you were doing a Spanish immersion thing?
ari shaffir
Yeah, 100% Spanish.
I brought back these Cuban cigars.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
Yeah, in Colombia.
joe rogan
Did you have any Spanish-speaking lessons before you went to Colombia?
ari shaffir
Cero.
You know what that means?
bert kreischer
It sounds like zero.
ari shaffir
It does sound like zero.
It's a pretty close language.
A lot of it's pretty close.
joe rogan
So zero?
ari shaffir
I had nothing.
joe rogan
Cero is zero?
bert kreischer
Yo hablo español también.
Claro.
ari shaffir
All right.
joe rogan
Tom, you're doing a podcast.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah.
This is his Me Too back party.
Like, when Tom gets Me Too'd in America, he's going to go run.
I don't care.
tom segura
I'm setting up the escape plan right now, man.
joe rogan
The other countries are like, what's the problem?
tom segura
The Latin countries would have no problem.
unidentified
I've had this conversation multiple times.
tom segura
Latin people are like, me what?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
unidentified
We were talking to his cousin who lives in Peru.
bert kreischer
He called his cousin, and there's a term Latinx, which is not Latino or Latina.
tom segura
It's a gender-neutral way of saying Latinx.
bert kreischer
And he says to his cousin in Spanish, you know, ¿tu sabe Latinx?
unidentified
And he's like, oh, maricón?
He goes, he's like...
tom segura
He goes, what?
I'm like, you know, it's a gender neutral.
So you're saying, he goes, like a faggot?
unidentified
I'm like, that's not exactly what I'm saying.
ari shaffir
My teacher, we were talking about like parents, something like that, and there was like, the word for parents is just like...
Fathers, pretty much.
So then it's like, what if you have two mothers?
Do you call it madres as parents?
Instead of like, you know, if it's just father, it's padre.
If it's just mother, it's madre.
But if it's parents, it's padres.
tom segura
Right.
ari shaffir
So I'm like, do you, if it's just okay.
And she was like, no, still padres.
unidentified
And then, you know, that's okay these days.
ari shaffir
It's okay with her being as poor as she can be.
Like, that's fine, though.
bert kreischer
What country do you think is most in the dark ages with wokeness?
joe rogan
Russia.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Russia, they make laws about gay people.
bert kreischer
They did for the Olympics.
ari shaffir
Iran has, according to their leader, 0% homosexual population.
joe rogan
Yeah, Iran's worse than Russia because Russia has...
People that are outside of the control of the government that are just freely speaking, that are talking about homosexual problems and like Pussy Riot.
Remember when Pussy Riot was getting...
tom segura
A lot of shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
They're fucking hot.
joe rogan
You like that?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I gotta think about that.
tom segura
Make them dirty.
ari shaffir
Arrested chicks right out of jail.
tom segura
Russia doesn't fuck around, dude.
joe rogan
No, they don't fuck around.
They don't fuck around.
tom segura
At all.
You know, there's a kind of a, I don't know, selling point from them that they're trying to be progressive thinkers.
Some of them will disguise it as that, but they're definitely not fucking around, dude.
joe rogan
Someone from Russia, some government agency, made a tweet about freedom of the press.
ari shaffir
What did they say?
joe rogan
About respecting the press and appreciating the press.
And someone, some journal said, this is a country that has literally, like this administration, has literally been responsible for murders of dozens of people that are journalists.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, when people would report on them, or people would, running against certain members of the government, they would just whack them.
unidentified
Sure.
joe rogan
In broad daylight.
tom segura
And even more disappearances, which is slang for murders.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
You know, like, that person's just gone.
We haven't seen them.
ari shaffir
We just don't want to explain it, so they, I don't know.
bert kreischer
I can't wait to go back and see how much it's changed.
ari shaffir
Are you going back?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I'm doing a tour there.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus Christ.
They're going to kidnap you for sure.
bert kreischer
My kids are like, we want to go too.
I was like, fuck that.
But to hang out with Russian guys and ask them questions that I asked when I was in college.
I remember asking them about black people and they were like, oh, no, no, no.
They can't be here.
joe rogan
Roy Jones Jr. is a Russian citizen.
tom segura
Roy Jones Jr.?
joe rogan
No, like a legit Russian citizen.
bert kreischer
This was 1995, just to be fair.
joe rogan
Roy Jones Jr. has been going over to Russia for a long time.
He's a giant star over there.
They love him.
bert kreischer
Are you fucking serious?
joe rogan
Totally serious.
bert kreischer
I'm thinking of Roy Woods.
unidentified
Roy Woods.
It's a comic?
joe rogan
I'm like, what the fuck?
How hilarious.
Look at it.
Roy Jones Jr. with Putin.
ari shaffir
He looks like Putin's shaking his hand too hard.
He's trying to get it away.
joe rogan
Maybe.
Perhaps.
I don't think so.
But he's over there all the time.
He's got a fucking Russian passport.
tom segura
No shit.
bert kreischer
I'd like that.
I'd like that.
joe rogan
Listen, dude.
They threw that AAA punana at him.
That AAA Russian punana.
tom segura
That's that smile.
joe rogan
Look at him smiling.
Yeah.
tom segura
Yeah, he knows.
joe rogan
He's fought over there a bunch of times, too.
Fought over there fairly recently.
ari shaffir
How long are you going to be there for, Brad?
unidentified
I don't know.
bert kreischer
Just like two weeks, maybe?
I don't know.
joe rogan
You going to do shows?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
I'm excited.
I'm going to bring a film crew.
joe rogan
Schultz did a bunch of shows there.
tom segura
Who did?
joe rogan
Andrew Schultz.
unidentified
Did he?
In Russia?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
He put some of it online.
tom segura
It was hilarious.
I bet Gaffigan has, too.
He's done shows fucking everywhere.
bert kreischer
Has he?
ari shaffir
Nobody plays more places than Jim Gaffigan.
tom segura
Yeah, he just announced that he's doing a Latin American tour.
joe rogan
No shit.
tom segura
In English, yeah.
joe rogan
Of course.
tom segura
He goes everywhere.
Everywhere.
joe rogan
Wow.
bert kreischer
Dude, what's the guy that ran 25 marathons in 25 days?
joe rogan
Eddie Izzard?
bert kreischer
Eddie Izzard did shows in German and doesn't speak German.
ari shaffir
He did that in French, too.
bert kreischer
He just memorized the language.
He just memorized how the words would go.
Whoa.
I've been trying to tell the machine in Spanish, and I know Spanish, but it's fucking still hard as fuck.
joe rogan
Eddie Izzard is a savage.
Do you want to know what it takes to run 26 marathons in a row when you don't even run?
tom segura
Day after day?
joe rogan
Day after day.
I mean, there's videos of it where they show his feet, where he takes his socks off.
Literally, his skin is falling off the meat.
I mean, his skin is raw and open, and they're taping it up and bandaging shit.
I mean, he can't even stand.
And he's running 26 miles every fucking day.
bert kreischer
That's a different mindset.
tom segura
Just from Will.
joe rogan
He's a really interesting guy.
I had him in on the podcast.
He's in full woman's regalia, but he says, but I fancy the ladies.
He fancies girls.
He just likes dressing like a woman, but he's a man.
But he's transgender.
ari shaffir
He stopped for a while, too.
He dressed like that, then he stopped dressing like that.
joe rogan
He does whatever the fuck he wants, man.
I love that guy.
I really like him, too.
I really like talking to him.
He's an interesting guy.
tom segura
He's a brilliant dude.
bert kreischer
A really smart dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, but also the kind of will that you have to have.
tom segura
Yeah, that's what stands out, to do that.
ari shaffir
Why would you do that?
joe rogan
It's an animal.
tom segura
But he did, and he also wasn't at charity, right?
joe rogan
He did that, and he did one in South Africa.
It was an area where he wanted to run.
Like, listen to me.
If you run through there, they're going to kill you.
Like, you can't run through there.
We're going to pick you up in a car, we're going to take you past that, and then we're going to follow you in cars.
We can't even be with you in a car while you're running, or they'll kill you.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
In South Africa?
joe rogan
Yes.
Bro, there's parts of South Africa that are rough.
bert kreischer
Yeah, you think?
I've been to those.
joe rogan
Apparently, carjacking down there is just out of fucking control.
bert kreischer
Bro, we were in South Africa.
unidentified
There he is.
bert kreischer
We spent the night in a shantytown.
I went in and I brought soccer balls.
I bought like 40 soccer balls for all the kids, right?
Because we were going to play soccer with them.
So I bought a big truck full of soccer balls.
It was on Travel Channel.
I roll in with like 40 fucking soccer balls.
And their coach loses his fucking mind.
Just shy of hitting me with a machete.
He's like, what the fuck are you doing?
You're going to give every kid that's in here a soccer ball?
He's going to all get fucking murdered on the way home because someone will kill them for their soccer ball.
And I was like, sorry.
And he's like, take them the fuck out of here.
So then we spent the night, right?
joe rogan
Murdered for a soccer ball.
bert kreischer
Dude, it's a shanty town.
Soccer balls got value there.
Especially, think of all the, I mean, we spend the night, we party that night, some, one of the, it was like one of these.
joe rogan
Wait a minute, this story just got weird.
bert kreischer
We're partying with the kids.
No, no, no, no.
tom segura
In the shanty town.
bert kreischer
It was fucking crazy, dude.
It was like at a belly.
Everyone's sweaty, everyone's dark, dark, dark.
It was fucking badass.
joe rogan
Did you get malaria?
bert kreischer
No, I was on those pills.
I was dreaming crazy.
We woke up the next day, right?
I'm outside having coffee in my little shanty thing.
Guy comes sprinting down the street and a mob is chasing him.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
And our handler's like, oh yeah.
And I go, what?
And he goes, I heard about this.
He stole a pillow.
And I was like, you stole a pillow?
And I'm like, yeah, you stole a pillow.
Don't worry, they'll get him.
They're gonna necklace him.
I go, what?
And he goes, there's justice here.
They put a tire around his neck and light him on fire.
I go, for a fucking pillow?
I was like, alright, wrap it.
We're done.
I'm getting the fuck out of here.
I'm not spending another second here.
unidentified
Why would you risk...
ari shaffir
That for a pillow.
Just fold your arm under it.
tom segura
Have you ever had like a great pillow though?
Like when they're...
ari shaffir
And they remember you?
joe rogan
Those air memory foam ones?
tom segura
Yeah, but they don't have too much give.
joe rogan
They're not too strong.
tom segura
And you go like, I'm not leaving this pillow for shit.
ari shaffir
I'll take it back.
unidentified
If someone steals this pillow from me, I'm lighting them on fire.
ari shaffir
I see both sides now.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Brazil was sketchy.
We went into the favelas in Brazil and got lost at sunset.
ari shaffir
What?
joe rogan
What are you doing?
bert kreischer
It's a travel channel.
ari shaffir
Beautiful way to die.
bert kreischer
We took motorcycles up.
We took motorcycles up, and then we weren't taking them back down, so we gave guys on motorcycles our helmets, and they were fucking through the roof.
As soon as we gave them our helmets, you could see their attitude change, and they were like, don't stay up here.
And we're like, what?
And they're like, no matter what they say, don't stay up here.
We're going to spend the night.
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
In the favelas?
bert kreischer
In the favela, yeah.
They have a great...
There's one favela...
joe rogan
Five-star luxury hotel?
bert kreischer
No, they have a great hotel in the favela that, like...
Man, someone would...
If you had done this traveling, you'd remember more.
I don't even remember shit about Travel Channel.
Because we were doing so much different shit.
joe rogan
And you were drunk.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
I was hammered in this favela.
It was fucking awesome, dude.
ari shaffir
You're just not supposed to go there.
bert kreischer
No, we went in and we got lost and we found this soccer game with these kids.
And it was like the buildings started...
tom segura
This is with a camera crew?
bert kreischer
No, we didn't have a camera crew because we got lost.
Me and the two travelers got lost.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
He brought guests?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
And they're like, we're going to be fine.
bert kreischer
We're on TV. They don't know what a fucking favela is.
ari shaffir
No, they're not.
joe rogan
They're from Indiana.
We're fine!
Everything's fine!
bert kreischer
They're from Denver.
Bert's our friend!
I can't believe we're on TV! Yeah, and then the camera crew found us and they filmed us playing soccer with the kids and then they're like, hey, we gotta get the fuck out.
And I was like, no, let's go back to the hotel.
We're back to the hotel.
Best view of Brazil you'll ever get.
ari shaffir
It's on the mountain, right?
bert kreischer
It's the best view of Brazil.
joe rogan
That's the weird thing about the favelas.
It's like the Hollywood Hills.
They're above looking down at this beautiful village.
ari shaffir
We went for real with the UFC. And they were like, do not go there.
Do not go there.
joe rogan
Yeah, do not.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and then we didn't, and then Jon Jones was up there the whole weekend.
tom segura
He was?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's dancing after a good time.
ari shaffir
It was before he was the champ, I think.
tom segura
Just hanging out?
joe rogan
No, he was the champ.
ari shaffir
He was already the champ?
Yeah, he was just hanging there.
tom segura
Fuck, man.
ari shaffir
I guess he thought he could beat him in a one-on-one.
tom segura
Did you stay in a nice place in Medellin?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
With a balcony.
Oh, in Medellin?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
No, it's a homestay.
unidentified
Oh.

Wow.
bert kreischer
What a lucky family.
joe rogan
Wow.
unidentified
Immersion.
joe rogan
Full immersion, huh?
ari shaffir
Yeah, full immersion.
And then Sobrino.
joe rogan
So how good is your Spanish now?
Is it passable?
Can you go somewhere and talk to people?
ari shaffir
So I could order food.
I could ask where the bus is.
joe rogan
Are you going to continue this education?
Are you going to take classes?
ari shaffir
Yeah, I want to eventually, next time I take a sabbatical, I want to go through South America for a while.
joe rogan
Damn, son.
Looking to get killed.
ari shaffir
It's safe.
Medi is super safe now.
tom segura
Is it?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Parts of it are really poor.
Oh, that's my picture.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
That's your own picture.
You're like, what the fuck?
It says Ari Sphere hashtag.
tom segura
I like that the second comment is bird is fat.
joe rogan
Hashtag baby Jesus.
The second comment is bird is fat.
And a narc.
unidentified
That's hilarious, man.
ari shaffir
We went to the cathedral.
tom segura
I like that there was some reason for you to text.
We were all reading your text.
joe rogan
What the fuck kind of bit is this?
tom segura
What are you doing?
ari shaffir
I don't know what this joke is.
I don't like it.
Yeah, I was in an immersion.
I had to try to speak no English as much as I could.
joe rogan
That's interesting, man.
bert kreischer
It's fun doing that kind of shit.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it was really cool.
tom segura
That's the way to do it, man.
ari shaffir
And it was like, I was always off balance.
They were like speaking about grammatical shit.
And I was like, and first of all, I haven't been in school for 25 years.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
So even just that alone was difficult.
bert kreischer
Tell us about this family that was blessed enough to have you stay with them for a month.
ari shaffir
And Adriana and their sobrino jumped out.
Yeah, it was weird.
The first day I got there, we just sat there and like stared at each other.
I had nothing.
joe rogan
So why did they let you in?
ari shaffir
The homestay?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
They make money through the school.
The school finds homestays for people that are like...
joe rogan
And they just do a background check on you, or no?
ari shaffir
No.
unidentified
No.
bert kreischer
Joe, Joe, no.
Clearly no.
Clearly no.
unidentified
That's what I'm saying.
bert kreischer
They didn't even fucking Google him, apparently.
joe rogan
They're like, ¿Cómo está, Molly?
Molly?
bert kreischer
¿Cómo se dice Rufy?
¿Cómo se dice Yo También?
¿Or Me Too?
unidentified
No.
ari shaffir
I didn't even have time for drugs.
When I went, people were like, are you going to find cocaine?
I was like, I guess I should, but it was like 9am every night.
joe rogan
I didn't have time for drugs.
That's hilarious.
ari shaffir
You had to go into the other parts.
tom segura
Did you visit some Escobar shit?
ari shaffir
Yeah, the cathedral.
There's a big hike that starts where his prison was.
And there's an old age home there now.
And they have signs up there.
And it was like, this has nothing to do with him.
You shouldn't be visiting here anyway.
He was a garbage man who fucking killed a bunch of people.
And he goes, and you're awful tourists.
You leave trash everywhere.
There's like signs made for that.
unidentified
Whoa.
ari shaffir
You call this culture in your country where you leave trash?
joe rogan
Narcos must have changed everything for them, right?
It became glamorous, almost like Tony Montana.
That guy who played it, what is that guy's name who played Escobar in Narcos?
tom segura
He's a Brazilian actor.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they got mad that he wasn't Colombian.
joe rogan
He's fucking great.
Find you a Colombian guy.
tom segura
That dude didn't speak Spanish when he took that role.
ari shaffir
Oh, sorry, Portuguese.
tom segura
He only spoke Portuguese.
joe rogan
So close, though.
tom segura
Yeah, but I mean, like, you can...
bert kreischer
It's not even close at all!
tom segura
It is close!
bert kreischer
Not even remotely!
joe rogan
No, I have Brazilian friends who can speak a little bit of passable Spanish.
tom segura
You can pick up on some things.
ari shaffir
For real, I feel like Italian is closer to Spanish than Portuguese.
bert kreischer
Italian is definitely closer than Portuguese.
unidentified
Is it?
bert kreischer
Yeah, Portuguese is almost Asian.
joe rogan
Oh, Italian is close to Spanish.
Because I took both in college.
bert kreischer
I don't think Portuguese is a Latin language.
tom segura
It is a Latin language.
joe rogan
It is a Latin language.
tom segura
For real?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
tom segura
For sure.
But it's definitely...
If someone gets going in Portuguese and speaks Spanish, you definitely don't understand a fucking thing.
joe rogan
Portuguese is beautiful.
They have such a song to it.
I always love listening to Brazilian guys talk.
There's his name.
tom segura
Wagner Moura.
joe rogan
That sounds Portuguese.
ari shaffir
Dude, the guy who played...
tom segura
Season 1, you hear him speak?
You note that he definitely has an accent.
Oh, a heavy non-Spanish accent.
Season two, he definitely got better.
You could tell he's been speaking for a while.
ari shaffir
Did you hear the location scout for Narcos got killed by the cartel?
tom segura
Wasn't that for the third season?
unidentified
Maybe.
tom segura
For the Mexican season?
joe rogan
That's right, the Mexican one.
tom segura
Because the Mexicans are not fucking around either.
joe rogan
They're not playing games.
tom segura
They're like, what?
You guys think Russians do shit?
ari shaffir
Check us out.
unidentified
What was that a few weeks ago?
joe rogan
The Mormons.
There's a couple of Mormon colonies that left America in the 1800s when they made polygamy illegal.
Including, by the way, homeboy from fucking Massachusetts.
The guy running for president.
What the fuck's his name?
bert kreischer
It's on the tip of my tongue.
joe rogan
Mitt Romney.
unidentified
Mitt Romney's father.
joe rogan
Was a brilliant guy but could never be president because he was born in Mexico.
Mitt Romney's family's from Mexico.
Because they're part of the original clan that left.
The clan of Mormons.
They wanted to fuck 80 wives.
And so they moved across the border and they developed these colonies.
And so they literally have armed guards to stop them from the cartel.
And the cartel just assassinated these women and children.
tom segura
Fuck, man.
joe rogan
Nine people just gunned them down.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
The guy, Popeye, from that show, one of the murderers, he's still out and does tours of the cathedral and all those places, and he will put a gun to your head, a loaded gun, and let you take a picture.
tom segura
He killed so many people.
So, so many people.
He did a full turn.
joe rogan
Who the fuck is taking a gun selfie with that guy?
tom segura
Oh, he's a celebrity there.
bert kreischer
When I was in Australia, I was fucking wasted, and I came out of some bar.
I was with my...
Tour manager, really a buddy, he's a Hell's Angel guy.
I'm fucking stumbling out of a bar.
And this guy comes up with a gun.
And he goes, hey Bert, can you take a picture of holding a gun to my head?
And I was like, yeah.
I just took a picture of holding a gun to his head.
My tour manager was like, what the fuck are you doing?
And I was like, I don't know.
I just fucking left.
There will be a picture of me holding a gun to someone's head.
He's like, don't worry, it's not loaded.
And I'm like, it's your fucking head, man.
ari shaffir
You're like, I didn't care.
bert kreischer
I was so fucking wasted.
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
tom segura
They actually made a whole series about Popeye.
ari shaffir
About Popeye?
tom segura
You can see it on Netflix.
ari shaffir
Just about that guy?
tom segura
Yeah, but it's a dramatization.
joe rogan
That's the guy?
tom segura
That's the real guy, yeah.
That's the real guy.
ari shaffir
On one of the pieces of glass, he signed Popeye in the dust.
tom segura
So he was Escobar's right-hand man.
joe rogan
And he's got 1.18 million subscribers?
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
unidentified
He's in jail right now.
I just Googled it.
ari shaffir
Right now?
tom segura
He's back?
unidentified
He got arrested in May.
I don't know.
tom segura
Oh, but he's been out for a while.
He served like 15, 20 years in Colombian prison, which is like a fucking...
joe rogan
Unless you're in prison with Escobar.
tom segura
Well, that's the thing.
That was a different thing.
He did that too.
He was in the cathedral.
ari shaffir
So that cathedral, great view.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
joe rogan
He built this amazing jail.
tom segura
Dude, he would bring in...
ari shaffir
A helicopter pad?
tom segura
He would bring in the Colombian national soccer team and be like, play with me today.
And they were like, okay.
Because if we don't, that's a problem.
unidentified
We'll die!
tom segura
So the national team would just play.
It'd be like, I want the Lakers here now.
And they're like, they're here, ready to play.
ari shaffir
They are, they're ready.
They had a game tonight, but they canceled it.
joe rogan
Did you guys see what happened with the cartel in Mexico where they had El Chapo's son, they had him arrested, and then the fucking cartel got in a shootout with the Mexican military.
tom segura
That was this year.
joe rogan
Yeah, and they released him.
tom segura
Yeah, that's how strong.
ari shaffir
At some point you gotta be like, this isn't worth it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, what was really crazy, you know, I've got this guy, Ed Calderon, who's been on my podcast before.
He's coming on again.
He's one of the guys that works with the Mexican military to deal with situations that are caused by the cartel.
And he said that there was a situation with Trump, because Trump was saying that they were going to treat the Mexican cartel like a terrorist organization.
And they were going to literally, because those Mormons got killed, and they were going to start literally a military operation to go after the cartel.
So this is at least on the table.
tom segura
This is on the table.
joe rogan
At least on the table.
And they were talked out of it by the Mexican government.
tom segura
I wonder what type of firepower they actually have.
ari shaffir
They must have tanks.
tom segura
But what more?
People think, well, they definitely have some big guns.
They have everything.
I bet they have shit that you...
ari shaffir
They have billions and billions of dollars.
joe rogan
Billions of dollars.
tom segura
Hundreds of billions of dollars.
joe rogan
Who knows how much money they have?
tom segura
I mean, imagine if you're like the middleman between the cartel and, you know, whatever, Saudi arms dealer, and you're just like, we can't sell you stuff, and they're like, here's fucking $16 billion.
joe rogan
Bro, how crazy is Sean Penn?
bert kreischer
I was just thinking that.
joe rogan
Sean Penn went down there to write an article for Rolling Stone, went and met with El Chapo, and he's one of the reasons why El Chapo got caught, right?
bert kreischer
He's the reason El Chapo got caught.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Bro.
ari shaffir
What do you mean the reason he got caught?
joe rogan
Because they followed him.
tom segura
He went with the actress.
El Chapo loved this Mexican actress.
And he was like, I want to meet her.
joe rogan
Look at him, he's palling around with El Chapo.
bert kreischer
Dude, I want that shit so bad.
I would love to meet Kim Jong-un like that.
tom segura
You gotta get that shirt.
You could totally pull that shirt off.
bert kreischer
I could definitely pull that shirt off.
joe rogan
Did you ever see when Conor McGregor bought that same shirt and was taking pictures?
He was with that same pose.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Connor was doing the same pose and not telling anyone.
And so everybody had to figure out what the fuck Connor was doing.
Look at him.
unidentified
Look at his face.
bert kreischer
That might be my favorite thing ever!
joe rogan
He's just a fucking animal.
Goddamn, I love that guy.
Come on, man.
Pretty fucking close.
bert kreischer
There's nothing better in the world than a joke that no one gets but you.
ari shaffir
He wasn't explaining it at all.
joe rogan
And people picked up on it.
It's just the handshake thing.
I mean, Connor is normally putting his fist in people's faces and talking shit.
And in that one, he's got his hand out like he's going to shake hands.
Look at the same thing.
unidentified
He's holding his hand out and Dos Anos isn't even thinking about shaking his hand.
ari shaffir
He's not even looking to get his hand shaking.
joe rogan
Look at Dana White.
Dana White's going, I'm going to make so much money.
Oh my god, I'm going to make so much money for this.
bert kreischer
Didn't Conor McGregor's fight already sell out?
joe rogan
The cowboy fight?
unidentified
Yeah, sure.
bert kreischer
Sold out $10 million at the gate.
joe rogan
Sure, you guys want to go?
bert kreischer
Yes, yes, yes.
joe rogan
I'll get up.
January 18th.
bert kreischer
Ooh, is it a week?
I'm free on the 18th.
tom segura
You know what?
I could cancel Australia.
joe rogan
Jamie's going.
Jamie, you're going, right?
ari shaffir
You should cancel Australia.
bert kreischer
This is the one thing I'm going to take up on.
ari shaffir
I definitely want to go for the first time.
tom segura
No, no, I've been before.
ari shaffir
You're wet, finally.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Oh, dude.
bert kreischer
Please cancel Australia.
ari shaffir
You should only cancel Australia.
You should never do it.
And every two years, plan a tour and then cancel it.
tom segura
I get so many messages.
joe rogan
When is your shows in Australia?
tom segura
I leave here the 14th.
joe rogan
Why don't you move them?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Just make a call to your agent.
tom segura
That's why we have agents, right?
joe rogan
Listen, it's another country.
They won't even notice.
unidentified
That's true.
tom segura
They don't watch this, right?
joe rogan
No.
tom segura
All right.
bert kreischer
Birdie Boy World Tour picks up January 30th, everybody.
unidentified
New material.
Why Birdie Boy?
joe rogan
What is Birdie Boy?
bert kreischer
That's what my kids call me.
joe rogan
Oh, that's cute.
bert kreischer
My kids and my wife, everyone calls me Birdie Boy.
joe rogan
Oh, Birdie Boy.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
Just put tickets, added shows, everyone.
Go to burperburt.com.
unidentified
Look at that.
joe rogan
It was a plug.
We didn't even see it coming.
bert kreischer
Tom was better with his plug about Australia.
Good job, buddy.
Still got his little tickets on.
tom segura
It's been sold out for a while.
unidentified
That dance video didn't hurt, did it?
joe rogan
How did you respond when you saw yourself get stabbed?
bert kreischer
I was a little confused, and then I was like, I was like, was that me?
It was very aggressive.
joe rogan
Very aggressive.
I didn't understand the carrot either.
What was up with the carrot?
tom segura
It's from Steven Seagal.
That's who I was dressed as.
unidentified
I know that.
tom segura
The president of Belarus gave him a carrot.
It's like the Connor thing.
The president of Belarus gave him a carrot one time, and then Seagal just ate it.
It's just weird.
unidentified
You had the same outfit and everything, the fucking hair, the glasses.
tom segura
The fucking jet black hair.
joe rogan
That hair is so ridiculous.
tom segura
It's like 62 in this film.
bert kreischer
Do you remember when we were in the whoops and you said, one day, Tom, your numbers were through the roof.
And he was like, I got lost in the canyons.
ari shaffir
And you were filming the thing?
bert kreischer
It was when he was filming and he was dancing all day.
unidentified
Wow.
tom segura
What's it called on WHOOP? It's your activity level.
19.8 that day.
It was 5,800 calories burned.
It was fucking...
It was killer.
joe rogan
Well, you remember that one day where I burned 6,000 calories?
You're like, what the fuck?
It's elk hunting.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Just going up the mountains.
tom segura
Just hauling gear.
joe rogan
10 hours a day.
ari shaffir
That's how you got us in the strap the year before.
It was all day long.
joe rogan
Well, I got you because I'm a psycho.
unidentified
Really.
joe rogan
I was going to get you no matter what.
I told you guys, you've got to be ready to die.
bert kreischer
That's why we wanted you in the dance video.
We wanted to see what you would do.
Joe, I'm telling you right now.
You will...
You will break the two of us in half, crying, laughing.
If just one day, on your own, you film some dance video that's better than ours, you realize...
That's good.
Keep going like that.
And then surprise us.
Surprise us.
I like the way you're rolling it.
joe rogan
It's cute.
It's cute.
bert kreischer
I laughed so hard.
joe rogan
Ari had a great idea.
tom segura
About doing one?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Ari had a great idea of us recreating the scene from Dirty Dancing.
Me and him.
ari shaffir
Beat for beat.
tom segura
God.
That's exactly what we're talking about.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
unidentified
Just guys...
bert kreischer
Just take a weekend.
It all takes a weekend.
joe rogan
Well, I would have to catch him.
He's not going to catch me.
bert kreischer
No shit.
joe rogan
That's a lot of...
What do you weigh?
Like a buck seventy at least, right?
Yeah, around 75. So a buck 70 like that, that's a lot of weight, man.
You gotta be prepared.
I would have to train for that.
tom segura
You have to train for it.
joe rogan
I'd have to do a lot of heavy kettlebells.
Because that's dead weight.
Here it is.
unidentified
This is Ari.
joe rogan
Okay, this is awkward.
bert kreischer
I'm crying laughing.
joe rogan
I'm crying laughing.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
This is going to be a problem no matter what because he's a foot taller than me.
tom segura
You've got to wear that dress.
ari shaffir
I already have the dress.
unidentified
And the nose.
bert kreischer
And the nose.
ari shaffir
The nose is already Jewish.
The nose is close.
joe rogan
He'd kiss me though.
The problem is if we got that close, Ari would sneak in a kiss.
tom segura
You definitely would.
joe rogan
And I'd throw up on his face.
unidentified
Joe.
bert kreischer
Joe.
ari shaffir
Keep going.
joe rogan
Look at this.
tom segura
You guys gotta do this.
unidentified
Nope.
joe rogan
Not doing it.
Dude, I learned how to dance for that fucking Zookeeper movie.
It was a long two weeks of learning.
And I got to dance with Leslie Bibb, who's hot and cool.
ari shaffir
I'm hot.
I'm cool.
joe rogan
You're cool.
ari shaffir
Alright.
At least give me cool.
joe rogan
I wish Jennifer Grey didn't get her nose fixed.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
Her and Renee Zellweger.
joe rogan
Renee Zellweger did some weird stuff, right?
She's a different human.
bert kreischer
I don't know.
She was great in that fucking movie about Judy Garland.
joe rogan
I heard she was great.
tom segura
Did you see Meg Ryan?
You know how she went away?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
Then you saw her, and then she looked totally different.
joe rogan
Totally different.
unidentified
Horrible.
joe rogan
Once you do the lips, man.
ari shaffir
No, she didn't look horrible.
tom segura
She just looked so different.
She looked unrecognizable as herself.
Yeah, lips.
joe rogan
You do your lips.
The Fibonacci sequence is all off.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
You look at someone's lips, their lips are off, you're like, hey, what the?
Like, I didn't know Eliza had a nose job.
She was explaining to me that she had a nose job, and I go, oh, well, it's a fucking good one.
So I paid a lot of money for it.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Wow, yeah.
joe rogan
See, this is what happens when women get the facelift, their mouth gets too big.
Right.
Yeah, because you're pulling your mouth on the sides.
So the hole is larger than your mouth.
Right?
So you have this...
ari shaffir
Wow.
bert kreischer
She was so beautiful.
ari shaffir
She was so hot in the Presidio.
Is that like that right then?
joe rogan
No.
It's rough being a lady, man.
Because when you're a guy and you get older, you're just a guy who's older.
When you're a woman, all your power's gone.
All the doors are open for you because you're attractive.
You're beautiful.
bert kreischer
And our plastic surgery works.
The guys that have plugs...
joe rogan
No, it doesn't.
bert kreischer
No, hold on.
Bullshit.
The guys who have hair transplants today...
tom segura
The new ones are crazy.
bert kreischer
You cannot fucking tell.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it depends on your hair.
I have thin hair.
It's fine.
My hair is fine.
So when I got a hair transplant, even when I had it, it was still ratty.
And it kept falling out.
At a certain point in time, I had to make a decision.
ari shaffir
That Bill Burbit where he's like, let's get it today.
Not 20 years ago when it looked like you got ant's legs stapled to your forehead.
joe rogan
I got it before that.
I mean, after that.
bert kreischer
I didn't know you had them done before.
unidentified
I have a scar in the back of my head, so I smile.
joe rogan
It's a public service announcement for anybody thinking about getting a hair transplant.
Look at my head.
Don't do that.
bert kreischer
Tom's thinking about it.
joe rogan
He's beautiful.
He doesn't need that.
bert kreischer
He wants me to give him my hair.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Ball hair.
bert kreischer
Because he's like, you got so much hair, Bert.
joe rogan
Imagine if you just did your ball hair.
My ball hair is so thick.
My ball hair goes all the way up to my belly button.
If I just took my ball hair and put it on my head...
bert kreischer
You should do it.
Your ball hair can reach to your belly button?
joe rogan
Oh, dude, when I don't shave, I'm a gorilla.
My back is hairy.
Everything's hairy.
As I get older, I'm hairier.
My ears are hairy now.
I have to trim my fucking ears.
ari shaffir
Yeah, my ears.
tom segura
Yeah.
unidentified
I keep pulling out one hair.
tom segura
What it is, I'm like, the fuck is going on with my itching?
Turn into an ape.
Start scratching.
I'm like, God damn.
Something in your hair.
And then it's a hair.
joe rogan
Just a hair tickling your hair.
As you get older, you become more of a gorilla.
bert kreischer
My ass hairs tie together when I run from cheek to cheek, like a bridge.
I have to take my finger and swipe it out.
joe rogan
You know what I've done?
Three times.
Only three times in my life.
ari shaffir
For sure.
joe rogan
100%.
bert kreischer
He says he doesn't smell his bad parts.
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
Inside the belly button?
tom segura
I smell everything.
bert kreischer
Oh, you fucking liar.
tom segura
Yeah, I always just try to make you look worse.
joe rogan
I shave my asshole three times in my life, and every time I'm amazed at what my farts sound like.
Oh.
bert kreischer
That is the most insightful.
joe rogan
Crazy.
bert kreischer
I got a full Brazilian wax one time.
unidentified
Whoa.
bert kreischer
And for a TV show.
joe rogan
Your farts.
All of a sudden, like, who's farting in my pants?
tom segura
How about wiping?
Yeah, you're like, oh.
joe rogan
Dude, I try to hold my shit until I get to the studio because of these goddamn bidets.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
The toilet seats with the electric.
Oh, my God.
It's amazing.
tom segura
It's amazing.
joe rogan
Warm water squirting up your butthole.
You don't have that at home?
No, I need to get it.
I know, I'm slipping.
We ordered it, too.
I have it.
I just haven't had it installed yet.
ari shaffir
I've used yours.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
tom segura
When I have it at home, and then I'm home for like 10 days, and then you go on the road, you're like, I'm a monster.
I'm a fucking monster.
joe rogan
You're smearing shit.
You're not even cleaning it.
tom segura
No.
bert kreischer
When I got my Brazilian wax, I remember the first time I farted, it was like my ass cheeks were clapping.
Yeah!
And you're like, shut the fuck up!
joe rogan
What is happening with the hair?
bert kreischer
Hair muffles it.
joe rogan
Hair is muffling your farts.
It's so weird.
bert kreischer
You're the first person to ever say it, because no one can relate to that.
And I've always said, man, my farts were so fucking loud.
joe rogan
That's because your other friends are grown-ups.
ari shaffir
Did you have a scientist on here yesterday?
unidentified
I've had many scientists on here.
joe rogan
Maybe.
Biologists and shit, people looking for lost species.
bert kreischer
Hey, do you let the water on the bidet go into your asshole sometimes?
joe rogan
Right in there, and I have to shit.
bert kreischer
And then it goes out, you can almost flush it out?
joe rogan
If I have a shit that's kind of halfway stuck, I'll go take a shit, and then I start cleaning.
I'm like, I think there's more up there.
And so I'll just really concentrate that jet right in my butthole.
And it gets in there, and all of a sudden, yikes!
It's like there was a castaway.
There was some hidden shit that was trying to hang out in there.
tom segura
Yep.
I love that.
bert kreischer
It breaks the O-ring.
tom segura
You take a sloppy shit and you're like...
And then you let it run a full cycle.
joe rogan
Full cycle.
tom segura
And then you wipe and there's something still there.
You're like, I got problems.
bert kreischer
That's a problem.
unidentified
This would have been a problem in 97. That's a problem with hair.
joe rogan
Sometimes I wipe it with hair and the width of the smear is so disgusting that I just take a shower.
ari shaffir
I go straight to shower.
Shit showers are good.
tom segura
You shit shower all the time.
You go with no wiping.
ari shaffir
No wipe.
tom segura
You're fucking ill.
joe rogan
I wipe first.
unidentified
Why?
joe rogan
Because it's too much.
I don't want shit in the floor and the toilet paper.
ari shaffir
You don't leave it there.
It goes down.
joe rogan
You're fucking out of your mind.
You're not cleaning it good, though.
ari shaffir
Cleaning what?
joe rogan
You don't clean the floor.
You got shit bacteria on your floor.
ari shaffir
Stomp, stomp.
Stomp in the drain.
joe rogan
Joey Diaz was telling me a story once about how he had to take a shit, so he took his shit in the bathtub, and then he had to smush it with his foot to go down the drain, and it all wouldn't go down.
ari shaffir
And that's when it's too fat to use the toilet.
tom segura
Dude.
unidentified
Dude.
tom segura
He told me a few times.
joe rogan
Do you remember those logs?
He used to leave logs and he'd say, come look at this.
And he would go in there.
unidentified
No, no.
joe rogan
When he was really big.
ari shaffir
His ass pushed him from the front of the toilet so he couldn't get all the way back there.
joe rogan
So his giant shits would land on the beach in front of the water.
They didn't land on the water.
So they never really flushed.
tom segura
Oh my god.
joe rogan
So you just see them and they're like...
tom segura
He sends me photos.
All the time!
bert kreischer
Now that he texts, he's texting like a fucking ninth grader.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
He's like, yo, you see the monkey on this chick?
joe rogan
Yeah, he sends me pictures.
tom segura
Everything.
ari shaffir
Dude, my shits in Colombia, from all the just the greasy, oily, banuelos and chicharrones, it was the, first of all, many times a day, and it was this, it was just, probably helps.
Like, softer, like, it was like if you fed a puppy too many treats.
unidentified
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
joe rogan
Bro, when Marsha was a puppy, one thing that happens to some dogs is when their babies would try to eat their shit.
And so he was shitting and trying to eat it at the same time.
So he'd spin around in a circle and try to bite it as it was coming out of the hole.
He was trying to eat it right out of the tap.
tom segura
Right out of his ass.
Joey told me one time that he was about shitting in the shower.
And he was like, yeah, it was great.
I did it all the time.
I was like, you fucking...
Sit in the shower?
And he's like, yeah.
ari shaffir
That's too much for me.
tom segura
He's like, if it's like a log, I just shit, and then I just toss it to the toilet.
And I was like, come on.
joe rogan
Oh, no way.
unidentified
And then he said that.
joe rogan
How much practice has he ever done that?
ari shaffir
He must have missed before.
joe rogan
You throw a crumpled piece of paper, and you go for the can, and you miss.
tom segura
Oh, missing that.
bert kreischer
Missing would be so...
tom segura
He said that, I go, did you stop?
That's so fucking revolting.
He goes, he's like, I had to.
I go, why?
unidentified
He goes, my wife saw me do it one time, and she said, no more.
tom segura
My wife saw me do it!
unidentified
With shit in her hand, like, I gotta explain.
Throwing shit?
joe rogan
Oh my god, it's hilarious.
ari shaffir
I didn't want to leave in the bathtub.
joe rogan
I farted once in the shower, and I shit all over the place.
unidentified
You did?
Yeah.
joe rogan
I wasn't feeling that good.
I farted just all over the floor.
But I have one of those handheld jammies.
tom segura
Rinse it down.
joe rogan
Rinse it down.
I was in that shower for like a half an hour.
And then I squirt shampoo all over the bottom.
tom segura
This will do it.
This will clean it.
bert kreischer
It's a murder scene.
joe rogan
And then I left, and then I came back in just to get a fresh smell of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because, you know, all factory senses are weird because they don't detect smell.
They detect changes in smell.
tom segura
That's right.
joe rogan
That's why people in Pennsylvania who live near those cattle ranches...
ari shaffir
Oh, they don't smell anymore.
joe rogan
They don't smell shit anymore.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
Because if you go to...
Like, my parents used to live in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and I used to go to drive to visit them from the city.
Oh, my God.
There's a stretch that you drive that's all just cattle ranches and just horrible fucking smell.
bert kreischer
I'll be there on the Birdie Boy Tour.
joe rogan
It's a great town.
bert kreischer
It smells like what?
joe rogan
They'll be happy there.
It smells like death and shit.
Because two things that are happening there.
Slaughterhouses and fucking cow shit.
So you just get this...
That methane stuff that they talk about being a contributor to greenhouse gases, that's fucking legit.
100%.
And apparently they can do something about that if they just add a certain amount of seaweed to a cow's diet.
bert kreischer
You just blew my mind.
So...
Smell is, it's the change in smell that you notice.
It's not the smell.
joe rogan
Right.
That's why people stink.
Don't notice they stink.
That's also why when you smoke a joint, you don't notice it.
But everybody else around you, they come, oh my god, you guys are high as fuck.
They come in the room and they smell weed.
ari shaffir
Why Indian people can live in Indian people's homes.
joe rogan
Oh, you piece of shit.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
Bro, it's curry.
It's not bad.
I had Indian food tonight.
bert kreischer
I love Indian food.
First time I ever had...
I never had Indian food when I was in Russia.
We got lap dances from these strippers, and they had all eaten Indian food.
I'd never smelled curry before, so I'd only grow up in Florida.
We didn't have Indian restaurants, and I lived in Tallahassee.
And the smell was so disgusting.
I was like, these are the most disgusting smelling women I've ever been with.
Cut to, probably 15 years later, I'm having dinner with my wife.
First time I ever had Indian food.
And they bring it, while we walk in the restaurant and I go, dude, this smells like a Russian hooker.
I'm about to come in my pants.
unidentified
And I realized, oh, Bushman Indian food.
joe rogan
Oh my God, that's hilarious.
bert kreischer
So that blows my mind.
It's just the change in smell that you notice.
That's why when you fart.
joe rogan
Yeah, right.
You smell it.
unidentified
That was fucking awesome, Matt.
ari shaffir
You smell for a second, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah, but you're also...
joe rogan
All factory senses are designed to detect changes.
tom segura
You're not...
Your body...
Your brain sends a signal to you that you smell.
ari shaffir
To be ready for it.
tom segura
And that's why it doesn't affect you as much as someone else's.
joe rogan
No, there's something about...
ari shaffir
No, you're ready for it.
bert kreischer
This fucking is blowing my mind right now.
That's why people that smell don't know they smell.
joe rogan
Well, there's also a thing about your farts that smell good to you, because there's something in your brain that triggers that you're having a relief.
It's like there's a build-up, and then you smell the smell, and it's like, ah.
Because it signifies the relief.
You know that feeling when you have to fart?
It's like, oh, when you're in your car, and you fart, and then you start wafting the smell up to you, like, oh, not bad.
bert kreischer
Bro, I'll fart in a pillow and take it to the face.
I love my farts.
ari shaffir
Do you ever do it?
unidentified
Take it down.
joe rogan
Do you ever fart in your bed and your wife is in the bathroom and you're like, oh my god, I gotta get a pillow out.
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's when I go, that's when I hold it down and I go, hey, do me a favor.
joe rogan
You're a bad person.
Tom and I are good people.
Tom and I are good people.
tom segura
I know what I do is I do more theatrical stuff.
bert kreischer
I'll take this to the next one.
tom segura
I want to hear your story first.
I'll do leg kicks as I fart, or I'll pull my legs back like I'm changing my diaper kind of position.
She doesn't like it at all.
She doesn't like it at all.
My mom today farted for like 12 seconds.
I was like, give me a fucking heads up if you're going to do this.
joe rogan
That one that your mom did when you caught her in the kitchen and then she turns and looks at you.
You need to take her to a doctor.
There might be something going on.
tom segura
Standard operating procedure.
ari shaffir
A foot of extra intestines?
tom segura
All life, yes.
I'm telling you, today she broke it easily.
And I go, why don't you fucking tell me so I can record it?
unidentified
And she goes, give me $150,000.
150?
bert kreischer
I'll give her 150 for that video.
tom segura
It's pretty impressive.
joe rogan
Hold on, let's hear this.
Go from the beginning.
ari shaffir
Hold on, before you play, were you just randomly filming her?
You weren't thinking it was coming, were you?
tom segura
No, no, here's what's happened.
I said something about, I go, yeah, you think you have one?
And she thought we were just like bantering.
ari shaffir
You think you have one fart?
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
And I saw her just turn, and I go, oh, I think she might.
And, you know, the beauty of these things is, like, pull it out, and I just hit the camera from the lock screen, and then she just didn't know.
joe rogan
Let me hear this.
unidentified
Oh, this is the loop.
This is the loop.
joe rogan
The look on her face when she turns around and she sees that camera pointed at her.
tom segura
Slow motion.
She's smiling right there.
joe rogan
She's smiling right there.
unidentified
You don't know my son anymore.
bert kreischer
You don't know my son.
You don't know my son anymore.
tom segura
Oh, and I made merch that said, you don't know my son anymore.
And I would send it to the house.
She got so mad.
ari shaffir
I don't know if I said it anymore.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
ari shaffir
She's the Argentinian?
tom segura
She's Peruvian.
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's hilarious.
bert kreischer
Best one I ever did is, when the girls were little, like babies, I farted in a McDonald's cup, and I put my hand over it, and I went...
ari shaffir
Like a Scooby-Doo?
Scream?
joe rogan
Poison your babies?
bert kreischer
I go, girls, I just caught a butterfly.
And they're like, what?
And I look...
Both of them are like, I don't sell that.
Like, literally immediately.
tom segura
You did it to me once at the Irvine Improv.
bert kreischer
Oh, it's a good one.
joe rogan
Did you really capture a fart in a cup?
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
He let out like a...
You know when it's like hot death?
Yeah, when you feel warm.
It's warm, and then you're like...
It's also rotten.
This is like a rotten one.
unidentified
Right, right.
tom segura
I was across the lobby from him in the club, and he was like...
unidentified
Come here, come here, come here.
tom segura
Like, he signaled, like, I gotta tell you something.
I go, what?
And I ran up, and, like, it just hit me like a brick to the face.
Like, it was...
bert kreischer
Dude, I have sometimes with my stomach...
I told this to Tom a long time ago on our podcast.
I took a shit in Japan once that was so bad.
The guy in the stall next to me threw up.
unidentified
LAUGHTER We were in Japan.
bert kreischer
I thought he was talking to me.
unidentified
He's like, I don't know what you're saying.
bert kreischer
No Japanese.
By the way, that's happened twice.
It happened once in Denver.
I made people throw up.
joe rogan
There's something so strange about public toilets where you're shitting inches away from some other person's shitting.
tom segura
Especially airports.
bert kreischer
It's so weird.
tom segura
Airports, international shits.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
You know, when it's like 30 of you just sitting there.
ari shaffir
You all came from eating in different countries.
tom segura
Different bacteria.
joe rogan
That's what's so strange about those hookup spots for some creepy gay dudes.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where they would find a spot.
unidentified
Can you believe that?
joe rogan
Like, yeah.
They meet in toilets.
Like, remember there was that one...
Was it a senator?
They got busted?
unidentified
Yeah.
Minnesota.
joe rogan
Minnesota.
tom segura
Wait, wasn't he from Idaho?
But it was in Minnesota.
bert kreischer
It was in Minnesota.
tom segura
But he was a senator from Idaho.
ari shaffir
And he goes, no, I was just tapping to see if he was there.
tom segura
He's the creepiest guy.
Craig, I think, was his last name.
He's the one who said, when Clinton was in trouble, he was like, Clinton has been a very naughty boy.
unidentified
Dare I say, a nasty boy.
ari shaffir
The weirdest thing an adult man has ever said.
I know you want to look at Clinton, but we're looking at you now.
Yeah, dude.
tom segura
Somebody who says it like that, you know, that word selection, dare I say a nasty boy.
joe rogan
Well, those guys were around before the internet, right?
Yeah.
But they probably had, like, there he is, Larry Craig.
Wide stance, arrest turns ten.
tom segura
Oh, yeah, that was his thing.
I have a wide stance.
joe rogan
I got a wide stance.
Oh, my God.
He has a wide stance to go to the bathroom.
So he was putting his feet...
I overreacted and made a poor decision, Craig said, of his guilty plea.
Let me be clear.
I am not gay.
ari shaffir
Why is he playing guilty, then?
bert kreischer
It's just easier, Ari.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's easier.
Whenever I shit and people get mad at me, I just say, I'm guilty.
tom segura
I'm guilty.
bert kreischer
I'm guilty.
joe rogan
You know what, guys?
bert kreischer
This is a lot easier than the paperwork.
joe rogan
He argued that the arresting officer misconstrued his actions.
bert kreischer
What are the odds that you try to get an officer to suck your dick?
joe rogan
But here's the thing, though.
What if an officer is one of those cops that sets up speed traps?
What if you're not gay?
And he's just like, I need to make a collar.
I'm here looking for guys to suck my dick, and there's nothing.
I haven't had a single bite.
bert kreischer
Make a collar.
ari shaffir
He's out there trying to fish.
joe rogan
He's out there trying to fish and he's got a fucking stick of dynamite.
I'm just going to chuck this in the water.
tom segura
Have they caught a senator?
unidentified
Wow.
bert kreischer
What a fucking land.
unidentified
Yeah, but here's the thing.
ari shaffir
Yeah, what a land.
tom segura
If you really...
I mean, it's...
If you really didn't do this, you definitely are not like that.
joe rogan
Under the divider hand motions and played footsie in an attempt to arrange a sexual encounter.
But here's the thing.
Prove that.
Prove that.
ari shaffir
Prove what?
joe rogan
Prove that he's trying to arrange a sexual encounter.
Maybe he just needed toilet paper.
But they didn't.
He just pled guilty because he panicked.
Did you hear about the guy recently that got busted?
He was a pastor and he got busted trying to pay for gay sex with an Arby's card?
tom segura
An Arby's card?
joe rogan
An Arby's card.
He pulled out the wrong card to an ARC or to an undercover officer.
ari shaffir
He was going to pay credit?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He was like on a sugar daddy site.
He was like, I've had a lot of sugar daddies, sugar babies.
This guy, Missouri church leader, trying to pay for sex on Grindr.
That's what it is.
With an Arby's card.
unidentified
Yeah, I guess so.
joe rogan
He looks gay.
I think prostitution in the gay community is a different animal.
ari shaffir
What's the D in D I'd like to fuck?
unidentified
Dad?
joe rogan
I think it's much more acceptable.
tom segura
Definitely.
joe rogan
They don't give a fuck.
bert kreischer
It's more rugby rules as opposed to American football rules.
They're just like, whatever happens, man.
Let's just get the ball to that side.
joe rogan
Grab nuts in the scrum.
tom segura
But also, like, isn't it the need for the prostitution so much less, right?
unidentified
Like, I feel like guys are just like, let's just fucking fuck.
joe rogan
But old guys, here's the thing, because old guys, they want to fuck young guys.
And these young guys don't want to fuck them, but these young guys don't have a car.
They're like, hey.
I know what's up.
I know how to make something happen.
ari shaffir
Remember that Patrice O'Neil story where he said he pulled over to a rest stop to get some sleep?
And somebody knocked on his window.
He was way off, away from where the store was.
And he was like, what?
And the guy was like, hi.
And he was like, what?
And the guy was like, oh, my bad.
He goes, you're bad?
What?
What are you doing here?
And the guy just turned and ran away.
joe rogan
Well, that's the spot.
Rest times.
Gay guys, before they had these apps and ways to meet up, Craigslist, they used to have little secret spots.
Rest stops were always the secret spots.
tom segura
What was the singer George Michael thing, right?
It was like a park.
bert kreischer
In Beverly Hills, right?
tom segura
But you know that shit had to be bumping in the fucking 80s.
Going to that park, I'm sure every gay dude in the city was like, I'll see you in BH, man.
ari shaffir
That has got to be the spot.
tom segura
Let's go shopping afterwards, man.
bert kreischer
How great would that be if the day after you found out about that park, you're like, wait, wait, wait, that park?
And you're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, around noon.
joe rogan
You're like, restroom, right?
Wasn't it a restroom?
The infamous George Michael bathroom in Beverly Hills.
tom segura
But it's a bathroom at a park.
joe rogan
Man, it's gotta be fucking rough to be gay and just try to meet guys.
bert kreischer
Are you serious?
ari shaffir
Shut up.
bert kreischer
Oh, in the 90s.
ari shaffir
In the 90s, it still must have been easy.
Remember the rule was if you had a certain color handkerchief?
That meant what you were into.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
ari shaffir
And you would have it out of your back pocket.
bert kreischer
There's a day at Florida State if you wore blue jeans.
Just blue jeans.
joe rogan
Just blue jeans?
bert kreischer
Yeah, it was natural coming out there.
joe rogan
Florida people were just trying to fuck dudes.
ari shaffir
They should have something more specific than that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
That's a mistake waiting to happen.
joe rogan
What if you don't get online?
You don't know.
ari shaffir
It's like having a t-shirt day.
joe rogan
And your fucking shorts are dirty.
So I'll just put my blue jeans on today.
Some guys are trying to fuck you.
tom segura
Hey, man.
unidentified
Sorry, I didn't have anything else to wear.
bert kreischer
You get fucked.
joe rogan
Blue jeans.
That's so crazy.
tom segura
It is crazy.
Christina went to University of San Francisco.
She said in the 90s, I think it's the Folsom Street Fair or something, she was like, guys would fist in the streets.
Yikes.
joe rogan
Fisting?
tom segura
Yeah, she's like, I saw guys butt-fucking just up on a wall.
bert kreischer
I saw two dudes butt-fucking.
The first day in New York, I went out with the editor of Us Magazine, and he took me to a gay bar in the meatpacking district, and I saw a dude, can't be alive anymore.
He had stars tattooed on his buttcheeks down to his heel like he was a big Cowboys fan, but fucking...
And I saw him get fucked in the ass, and I was fresh out of Florida State.
tom segura
Jesus.
ari shaffir
On the street?
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
In a bar.
It was in a bar.
joe rogan
He got fucked in the ass in a bar?
bert kreischer
In a bar, just on this dude's lap.
And I was like, wow.
Dude, I was like this.
I remember the first.
ari shaffir
New York.
unidentified
God.
bert kreischer
I wonder if there's some gay guys that miss those days.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
Yes!
bert kreischer
That are like, that was when we were fucking outlaws.
tom segura
Of course.
ari shaffir
The pre-AIDS days must have been amazing.
Did you ever hear Jeff Scott, the piano player at the Comedy Store, talk about pre-AIDS? When he was in a theater troupe?
Before AIDS. And he was like, it was a fuck fest.
joe rogan
I bet a lot of guys got into musicals that didn't even like musicals.
unidentified
So this is the deal.
bert kreischer
I gotta learn how to sing.
ari shaffir
Chicago's not that bad.
joe rogan
They probably just had to find a spot.
tom segura
Had to find a spot.
joe rogan
Definitely.
Where's the spot?
Where do we go?
How many guys wear cologne that actually like cologne?
Zero.
ari shaffir
Zero.
joe rogan
They're wearing cologne because they think it might, in some way, up their chance of getting laid.
My rationale has always been, any girl that will only fuck you because you're wearing cologne, don't fuck that girl.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
That's a mess.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You're making a mistake.
tom segura
You know, the thing is about cologne, speaking of change in your smell...
I feel like I can go a long stretch now without picking up on...
No, cologne.
I'll feel like I don't run into any...
And then all of a sudden, a fucking Uber driver or someone, and you're like, Jesus!
Or you get on an elevator, and you're like, Dude, where are you from?
ari shaffir
I love those people who are wearing this shit for.
They're trying to cover something else.
tom segura
You just got here?
We don't do that here, man.
bert kreischer
You don't wear cologne.
tom segura
Cologne?
No.
bert kreischer
No, fuck no.
joe rogan
I wear deodorant, though.
tom segura
That's a business I would not invest in, is Burt Kreischer cologne.
bert kreischer
I just started using toothpaste again.
joe rogan
It smells like clean feet.
bert kreischer
Soap.
joe rogan
Shut up.
bert kreischer
I don't like toothpaste.
It fucking creeps me out.
What?
Yeah, toothpaste bothers me.
joe rogan
What do you brush your teeth with?
bert kreischer
Soap.
ari shaffir
No way.
joe rogan
What are you talking about?
bert kreischer
Yeah, I'd like to...
Dude, look, this is a long unpacking story.
joe rogan
That's the right reaction.
bert kreischer
I don't have real teeth, so it doesn't matter.
joe rogan
No, I mean your mouth.
Like, you have a real tongue, right?
Wait, wait, wait.
ari shaffir
Don't glance over the real teeth.
joe rogan
What happened to your teeth?
bert kreischer
I got a hit in the mouth with a baseball bat.
joe rogan
You got a hit in the mouth with a baseball bat.
bert kreischer
We just talked about this the other day, yeah.
joe rogan
Who hit you?
bert kreischer
My dad.
Look, it was...
No, I'm joking.
It was a kid in the game.
It was the kid batting.
Accident.
No, he was trying to break up the play.
tom segura
He was a black kid.
He was sick of you talking to him like that.
ari shaffir
That's where it started.
bert kreischer
I was a catcher, and it was a pass ball.
I blocked it.
I picked it up.
Threw my helmet off.
Threw it down to third, and the kid tried to break up the play and brought the bat back.
Hit me in the mouth.
Knocked out...
Fucked up 26 of my teeth.
tom segura
Wait, I actually forgot to ask you this.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
In that part of the story.
bert kreischer
Yeah, my 11th birthday.
tom segura
You're playing catcher.
You throw the ball to make the play at what?
bert kreischer
Third.
Kid was stealing second to go to third.
tom segura
So the batter has already swung.
bert kreischer
He already swung.
tom segura
Okay.
And now?
bert kreischer
He brings the bat back into my mouth.
tom segura
Oh, like he just...
bert kreischer
Brought it back into my mouth.
ari shaffir
He thought on the spot, he's like, oh, maybe I'll pretend it's my full motion.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, and brought it back into my mouth.
joe rogan
You did it on purpose?
bert kreischer
You know, man, I never talked to the kid at all.
My teeth were on home plate.
You want to get real about this?
You want to talk about parenting?
My dad came out.
He's like, buddy, it's going to be okay.
Your mom's here.
We had a birthday party planned for him.
It was my birthday.
And he came out, and in his hand, he had my fielder's glove.
And I went...
I was trying to...
He goes, take off the gear.
Drew's going to catch.
Go over to shortstop.
And I was like, I don't have any teeth.
He was like, yeah, but if I take you out now, we lose the game because I can't sub before the fifth inning, so go over and finish the game.
And I go, I don't have any teeth.
He goes, don't you...
My dad's a good dad.
He's not a bad guy, but he was like, hey, don't fucking cry.
Go out, finish the inning.
It's one out.
It's one out, and then we'll take you to the hospital.
So I went over to shortstop.
I don't know.
Stuff like that, I think, turns you...
Stuff like that teaches you...
It either breaks you or fucks you up as a guy, or it makes you stronger as a guy.
joe rogan
What do you think it did to you?
bert kreischer
I don't know, man.
I've had a lot of those moments with my dad where it's like, be a fucking man, and I'm glad he did it, because there's certain things.
That, though?
Man, I remember being at...
ari shaffir
That's not like a suck it up moment.
That's like a, no, no, no, it's over.
The game's over.
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
The game's over.
You might have a broken jaw.
ari shaffir
Everybody go home.
joe rogan
If your teeth get knocked out, it's very likely there's some fractures in your jaw, and that could get infected.
It's like a rush to get to the hospital as quick as possible.
ari shaffir
Do you think your dad was having some sort of PTSD? You're not in a world title fight.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
Trust me.
Joe, I was sitting at a shortstop.
I was sitting at a shortstop going, this doesn't seem fair.
ari shaffir
This seems like bad parenting.
bert kreischer
My dad's like, if I take you out now, we lose the game.
joe rogan
I don't want to shit on your dad.
ari shaffir
He was like, I'll give you some Titos.
You'll be fine.
bert kreischer
I don't think I think I'm fine.
I don't know what you guys are talking about.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
I'm used to seeing people get fucked up, and I think I'd have a real problem with that.
tom segura
I think it's a different era.
bert kreischer
It's a different era.
tom segura
I would panic if I saw that.
bert kreischer
I don't know if it was that different.
I brought it up to my dad before.
He laughs it off, and he goes, you weren't that bad.
ari shaffir
Can I ask you a question?
Who won the game?
bert kreischer
I have no idea.
I wasn't there.
I went to Dr. Boza.
Spent the rest of the day getting my teeth fixed.
joe rogan
How long did it take before they fixed your teeth?
bert kreischer
Fucking 20 years.
It took forever.
It was a long period.
Ninth grade, in college, everything was fixed.
That was 11. In ninth grade, I had a smile I was comfortable with.
But yeah, I just have fucked up teeth.
joe rogan
So it took like three years before you had a smile you were comfortable with.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
So what was it before then?
bert kreischer
It was like spotty caps.
Cosmetic dental.
joe rogan
Oh, it was terrible back then.
bert kreischer
It was terrible.
So it was like, I want to say, this sounds horrible.
I want to feel like it was plastic caps.
It wasn't like, they stained really easy.
And I had like two, and then these were broken, and then At one point, I just had four teeth that looked okay.
I mean, there are people listening right now that are going through this, but you just cover your smile at times, and you don't enjoy life as much.
ari shaffir
Smile with your mouth closed.
bert kreischer
You smile with your mouth closed.
You're like, that's funny.
tom segura
It's really funny to think of you like that.
bert kreischer
I know, right?
I think that's why I am who I am, is when I got teeth, I was like, fuck yeah!
And I was laughing.
joe rogan
Your teeth look perfect now.
bert kreischer
Thank you so much, Joe.
joe rogan
Do they get stained by coffee or anything?
bert kreischer
Very badly.
We were talking about this the other day.
Fuckface over here decides his new game he wants to play is Shame My Mouth.
joe rogan
Shame My Mouth?
That sounds like something Larry Craig would play.
tom segura
This is so funny because this is the opposite of what I was doing!
bert kreischer
No, him and his fucking evil Nazi wife.
Come up with these fucking game plans of ways to just get the focus away from my talent as a comedian and find something else to fucking focus on.
But I was going to get my teeth all redone this month.
And then I thought, I don't like those dudes or celebrities with bright white smiles that you go, you just got your teeth done.
You look fucking different.
tom segura
They can make them not like that, by the way.
But now they can.
If you get veneers now, they do shades of...
bert kreischer
I want regular man teeth.
When you see a man, he's got regular teeth...
Yeah, like you got regular fucking teeth.
joe rogan
I got crooked teeth.
ari shaffir
Your teeth look normal.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
I have no problem with my teeth whatsoever.
I'm fine.
I wouldn't mind a couple of them, getting them shaded out to match everything else, but I got one dark one.
ari shaffir
I got one, yeah.
bert kreischer
But it's from smoking cigars and drinking coffee.
joe rogan
It's a dead tooth, and then that one tooth is kind of gray.
tom segura
I know somebody with that.
joe rogan
Dead teeth are weird.
tom segura
Like a prominent dead tooth, and you just want to be like, why do you have a car?
You should fix this first.
joe rogan
I don't know.
Take Uber everywhere and get your teeth done.
Yeah, the dead teeth are weird, right?
It's like there's something about, it signals to you there's something wrong with that person.
Like you see a person with a missing tooth.
You're like, ooh, what other shit decisions are you making?
tom segura
Well, I know that like a lot of people would, yeah.
I mean, it's the thing is that it's like one of the first things you notice.
You notice somebody if they have a wonky eye, for sure, and then teeth.
joe rogan
Dead teeth.
tom segura
Yeah, dead teeth.
But a lot of people, you know, it is expensive, you know, to address that.
But my thing has always been when somebody is like, you know, something about dental, they'll go, you know, well, it's whatever, thousands of dollars.
I go, go into debt.
Like, you should go, you should buy debt right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, your life might improve.
tom segura
Yeah, exactly.
It's worth it.
It's worth it to pay that off.
joe rogan
Up your earning potential.
tom segura
For sure.
bert kreischer
Do you know who Jessa Reed is?
ari shaffir
No.
bert kreischer
You know her.
She got one of the best stories that's been on Ari's show.
Comic, addicted to meth.
ari shaffir
She found out that when you pee, when you're on meth, that there's a percentage of meth in your pee.
So she was like, liquid gold.
joe rogan
Oh, boy.
bert kreischer
She told a story on Ari's podcast, and it's a great story.
joe rogan
Well, that's the thing with mushrooms, you know.
When you trip balls, if you drink your piss, you'll trip even harder.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of psilocybin goes right through your piss.
ari shaffir
You can also...
Have you done this?
I'll just do more mushrooms.
joe rogan
That's a better move.
bert kreischer
Counterpoint!
joe rogan
Yeah, there she is.
bert kreischer
So Jessa had all fake teeth because they'd all fallen out from meth.
joe rogan
Damn, she's pretty.
bert kreischer
She's beautiful.
And she's fucking hilarious.
So she did my podcast and told the story.
And this is what's beautiful about podcasts.
Some dentist in Portland was like, yo, I can do it for free.
ari shaffir
No way.
bert kreischer
Flew her up.
Or she flew her up.
He did her whole fucking mouth.
unidentified
Wow.
bert kreischer
I wish I knew that guy's name.
I'd give him a shout out.
joe rogan
Text her.
Text her and give that dude a shout out.
bert kreischer
That's cool shit.
It's no money out of his pocket.
It's his time.
And he's like, ah, you know what?
You made me laugh for fucking two hours on Bert's podcast.
joe rogan
That's cool.
tom segura
That's very cool.
joe rogan
I love stories like that.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Why do I feel worse when hot girls become addicted to meth?
tom segura
Because you see the potential ruin, man.
It's just like a fucking great young fighter that gets into coke and crack or something.
Yeah, you see the potential.
joe rogan
Not some little scratchy dude.
tom segura
Because you know how good her life could be, basically.
joe rogan
Right.
If she could become a fitness influencer, just do squats and yoga pants.
tom segura
How good is that gig?
joe rogan
That's a great gig.
ari shaffir
What?
tom segura
The fucking...
joe rogan
Those gals make a lot of money.
tom segura
The hot influencer.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
There's certain girls that just have...
tom segura
Crazy money.
ari shaffir
I got some style and I'm cute.
joe rogan
Here's the thing, though.
They are changing what a hot ass looks like.
Who, who?
Standards, like on Instagram, because of these influencer girls.
ari shaffir
And everyone's trying to keep up with that.
joe rogan
Oh my god, there's certain girls that are just in the gym every fucking day trying to figure out new ways to make their ass pop.
ari shaffir
In the fight.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And what is a good ass now?
I mean, in the 70s, all you had to do was just be there.
ari shaffir
Not be huge.
joe rogan
Yeah, but asses didn't mean anything.
ari shaffir
You should have seen these fucking reggaeton girls in Colombia with their asses.
joe rogan
What's that word?
ari shaffir
Reggaeton.
joe rogan
What does that mean?
ari shaffir
It's like a type of music.
joe rogan
Oh, like reggae?
ari shaffir
No, reggaeton.
joe rogan
Reggaeton?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Have you heard that?
bert kreischer
I don't know.
joe rogan
Yeah?
ari shaffir
I don't hang out with 25-year-olds.
25-year-olds.
It's fucking old people do it there.
joe rogan
Brady Smith.
Brady Smith DDS. Holla at Brady Smith.
bert kreischer
Oh, how'd you do that?
joe rogan
Because Jamie's a wizard.
bert kreischer
Goddamn.
joe rogan
Savior of just a smile.
Thank you, Brady Smith.
bert kreischer
Where does he live?
We should post his...
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Does he live in Portland?
ari shaffir
Dox him!
Dox that motherfucker!
unidentified
Where's he at?
joe rogan
Portland.
Brady Smith from Portland.
Folks, if you listen to this and you need some dental work done, go to that guy.
Look, he's a handsome fella.
bert kreischer
What a fucking good guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, what a good guy.
He's got a podcast?
unidentified
Yeah, shout out to his podcast.
bert kreischer
It's called Drilled.
joe rogan
What's it called?
bert kreischer
It's called Drilled.
joe rogan
It's called Drilled?
unidentified
Yeah, he does.
Oh my god, his podcast is called Drilled.
tom segura
That is hilarious.
joe rogan
He does a podcast with...
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
He gets them fucked up on laughing gas.
He does a podcast.
tom segura
He does a podcast that just makes you want to kill yourself.
joe rogan
That is hilarious.
That is so funny.
unidentified
I got a check out of these people while it was operating on them.
ari shaffir
So what do you do for fun when you were young?
joe rogan
If you go back to when asses didn't mean anything, what was the shift?
Was it Sir Mix-a-Lot?
tom segura
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Daisy Dukes, right?
ari shaffir
No, because she didn't have an ass.
joe rogan
She had great legs, but Catherine Bach did not have an ass.
bert kreischer
When I heard Baby Got Back, This Is How White I Am, I was like, wait, you like big ass?
It was so foreign to me.
joe rogan
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
ari shaffir
Yeah, me too.
bert kreischer
I was like, what the fuck?
Who the fuck likes that?
tom segura
Well, that just shows you how segregated this country is.
When that song came out, people would be like, well, black people like that.
They would tell you, that's what black people like.
joe rogan
But then white people like that.
tom segura
Well, yeah, of course.
joe rogan
But that's not that long ago.
tom segura
It's not that long ago, but it is.
ari shaffir
No!
joe rogan
Do you remember the gang in that song?
Look, everything else stayed the same.
What are girls like?
Girls like guys with big muscles, guys who are tall, guys with six-packs.
It's all the same.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
But what a That's a girl's view date.
unidentified
Look at this!
I just have to do it around the room to find out why we got girls.
bert kreischer
Guys with big personalities who are in a cup.
joe rogan
Listen, if you want to ask a girl what the perfect body is, she would say a guy who's like 6'3" with a big chest and big arms and a six pack and a big hog.
bert kreischer
Call Christina right now and see if that's what she says!
unidentified
She's asleep.
joe rogan
Listen, we're not talking about your wives.
We're talking about a girl who has no emotional connection to someone.
If you asked her, write down on paper, Ryan Reynolds, right?
That's what she'd say.
Jason Momoa.
Some contractor-looking dude.
It's the same.
It was that way in the 70s.
It's that way now.
The thing that changed with men is asses.
tom segura
Yes.
ari shaffir
No one was into asses.
unidentified
No!
It's amazing!
bert kreischer
I saw an ass coming into Petco yesterday that was fucking insane, and I was like, I never would have been into that as a kid.
joe rogan
What are you showing me here, Jamie?
unidentified
It says Jane Fonda.
jamie vernon
Brought it up in the 70s.
joe rogan
That's Jane Fonda's now?
ari shaffir
You can't really see it, though.
unidentified
It's just from the side.
joe rogan
Athletic female butt.
Sort of.
That's a trick.
ari shaffir
You can't see it.
joe rogan
Ah, get away.
ari shaffir
You gotta see it standing up.
That's just not big.
That's a great question.
joe rogan
And a fucking Instagram influencer would be ashamed of that butt.
jamie vernon
They liked flat ones in the 60s.
bert kreischer
Who's the girl?
Jen Seltzer?
Is that the girl who's got the most insane fucking ass on Instagram?
joe rogan
I don't know what you're talking about.
She's one of them, but there's no one girl anymore.
There's so many of them.
ari shaffir
There's ass implants now.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a mess.
ari shaffir
It looks weird.
joe rogan
Girls are getting cancer from that.
tom segura
Implants, no good.
bert kreischer
Do you remember on MTV they had a show called True Life and there was a guy that got calf implants?
Do you remember that by any chance?
joe rogan
No.
bert kreischer
I remember that so vividly.
tom segura
I do remember that from True Life.
bert kreischer
And I was like, what a fucking...
tom segura
As someone who's never had all those muscles, I would always seek those guys and be like, I'd rather not...
I saw that as such a pathetic thing to do.
joe rogan
You have a foreign body that's sticking inside of you.
The real problem with that is the same thing that happens to some women when they get breast implants, they get cancer.
Girls are getting that in their ass now.
There's new instances of ass cancer that are directly caused by these ass implants.
tom segura
The ass implants, I mean, that is obviously probably the more important statistic.
I don't think they look good.
joe rogan
Imagine you get ass cancer.
tom segura
It's crazy.
joe rogan
Imagine getting ass cancer because you're too lazy to do squats.
tom segura
Don't you find it almost more permissible, forgivable in a way to say, this woman's getting breast implants.
You go, okay.
But if a guy's like, oh, I got pec implants.
bert kreischer
Just do fucking push-ups.
joe rogan
I know a dude who had pec implants.
He had a bunch of stuff done.
tom segura
I know a guy who got pecking pants, and you know what I did when I saw him?
unidentified
What?
tom segura
Something that I never do, which is pat him on the chest, and I didn't know he had surgery the day before, and I was like, good to see.
He was like, basically almost started weeping.
And that's the only reason no one wants to confess that.
joe rogan
The guy that I know killed himself.
tom segura
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, he was getting a bunch of plastic surgery, and I'm just killing himself.
tom segura
This guy should.
He's the fucking...
joe rogan
You know Tommy Morrison got pec implants?
Did he really?
bert kreischer
Yep.
ari shaffir
Tommy Gunn?
joe rogan
Oh my god, dude.
It's gross.
Tommy Morrison went off the deep end.
He got HIV positive.
He was doing all kinds of crazy drugs.
And he got pec implants and they were preposterous.
Jamie, I know you're on this.
Look at that.
Look at that.
That's him after we won a fight.
HIV positive with pec implants.
bert kreischer
That looks horrible.
joe rogan
Yeah, but there's even worse pictures.
But look at the picture of him when he didn't have them.
tom segura
Right there, right?
joe rogan
No, he probably had them there.
bert kreischer
That's pec implants.
joe rogan
Yeah, those are pec implants.
That's when he didn't have them.
That's when he fought George Foreman.
He was fucking jacked when he was young.
I mean, he looked fantastic.
ari shaffir
Damn, he punched George Foreman.
Did he win that fight?
No.
joe rogan
Yes, he did.
He beat George Foreman.
ari shaffir
Wow.
unidentified
George Foreman was 74. George Foreman was like 55. Dude, he was still murking people.
joe rogan
He won a decision over George Foreman, which is a substantial victory.
bert kreischer
He's like the chicken of boxing.
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
Remember chicken?
The comic?
joe rogan
No, he beat some good guys, man.
He beat Razor Ruddock.
Yes, he did.
He beat Razor Ruddock.
He stopped him, dropped him with a big left hook.
Tommy Marsden had a nasty left hook.
He just couldn't win the big fight, and he got destroyed by Ray Mercer after Rocky.
Look at that picture of him after he got arrested.
See that picture right next to your cursor?
Above that, Jamie, right there.
That's him on the right-hand side, HIV positive, all fucked up after he got arrested.
Yeah.
Did he ever get AIDS? He looked like he was...
bert kreischer
He died?
joe rogan
I think he died of AIDS. But that was with him.
tom segura
Oh my God!
joe rogan
He was falling apart.
His life was over.
I mean, he would just...
44?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
He died real young.
bert kreischer
Wow.
joe rogan
And that was him at 44. He looks like a seven-year-old man.
ari shaffir
He died at 44?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
He was not doing good, man.
tom segura
Damn, dude.
joe rogan
He got addicted to all kinds of drugs and it was just, you know, his health fell apart.
It was not good.
bert kreischer
I wish someone would do a documentary on chicken.
joe rogan
He got famous.
I mean, Tommy Morrison got famous.
He was a good boxer, like a really good boxer.
And then he got famous from that Rocky movie, and then his whole life fell apart.
bert kreischer
He was so good in that movie.
Dude, I remember we were in high school when that movie was out, and we were standing up in the aisles, like going, come on, come on, rock!
joe rogan
It was a good fucking movie.
It was a good boxing movie.
ari shaffir
He was a good actor in it.
tom segura
There's always a thing, though, right?
If a white boxer is decent, there's a great white hope kind of factor to it.
joe rogan
Except Russians.
See, Vadovich Klitschko held the title forever, and no one gave a fuck.
tom segura
Right, because he's not American.
joe rogan
Well, he wasn't American, and also he had kind of a boring style.
But that's him in the movie.
But in real life, he was a very good boxer up until the time that he did that Rocky movie.
But I think Pussy was just like, they were putting Pussy in slingshots and just shooting it at him.
I mean, he was a handsome guy.
He was a movie star.
And people thought that he was going to be the next heavyweight champion in the world.
Did you ever see the Ray Mercer fight?
Oh, cue that up.
Because it's one of the most brutal knockouts.
Just cue up Ray Mercer KO's Tommy Morrison.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
It is fucking horrible.
I mean, it is one of the worst, because he gets tangled in the ropes.
ari shaffir
And he keeps hitting them?
joe rogan
I was watching with my friend Kevin.
We were at a bar, and we were watching it.
And just go to the part where he gets KO'd.
bert kreischer
Go to the end?
joe rogan
It's fucking rough, man.
He gets caught.
He gets, before that.
Before that.
Way before that.
He gets...
Yeah, so he gets...
Yeah, there it is.
unidentified
Before...
joe rogan
Just go right before this.
So Ray Mercer...
He started getting tired and Ray Mercer catches him in the corner and he unloads on him and Tommy Morrison's arms get tangled in the rope so he can't go down.
Like, look at this.
See, he's tangled in the ropes.
tom segura
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
Bro.
I mean, it was one of the worst KOs I ever remember seeing.
Look at that.
I mean, Ray Mercer was a murderous puncher.
bert kreischer
Just teeing off on him.
joe rogan
He was an Olympic gold medalist.
ari shaffir
Damn, late stoppage.
tom segura
Well, yeah.
joe rogan
The referee was scared to get in there.
bert kreischer
That's the 90s for you, huh?
joe rogan
Referee was scared to get in there.
And Ray Mercer was, back then, top flight.
tom segura
Like, no one's cheering.
ari shaffir
Is Ray Mercer the one who fought that white MMA guy?
joe rogan
Yeah, Tim Sylvia KO'd him with one punch.
And that was a rough one, too, because they were supposed to have a boxing match and Tim Sylvia kicked his leg.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they both agreed, though.
Like, it's MMA, but we're not going to kick.
joe rogan
This is why the commission wouldn't allow it to be a boxing match, because Ray Mercer was a world champion in Olympic gold medals, and Tim Sylvia did not have an MMA fight, or did not have a boxing fight.
tom segura
A boxing fight.
joe rogan
But he was, you know, a very high-level MMA fighter, but he was past his prime.
So they decided to have...
They called it an MMA fight.
ari shaffir
Ray Mercer was, I think he was 40. They had a gentleman's agreement.
joe rogan
I think Ray Mercer was 46 at a time.
So here's a gentleman's agreement.
Look at the look at his face.
Like, come on, man.
ari shaffir
You just said we're not going to do that.
bert kreischer
It's just natural.
joe rogan
Watch him setting this up.
Bang!
ari shaffir
And then he gets on top of him and goes, oh, I've never been able to do this before.
joe rogan
But I mean, the whole fight takes a few seconds.
Look at this.
That is a hammer of a punch.
tom segura
That's a slow fall.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And, you know, it was already way past Tim Sylvia's prime.
Tim Sylvia, when he was young, he was a fucking animal.
bert kreischer
He was the one that let his arm get broken.
joe rogan
Yes.
bert kreischer
I remember watching that.
joe rogan
He wanted to keep fighting.
Frank Mir broke his arm.
ari shaffir
I remember one of my first fights I ever went to.
And it was when you could just kind of move up until people sat in the front.
You could just sit there, you know, like a baseball game.
And then Tim Silver was there, and Tate was there with me.
And he said hi to him, and he was wearing his belt.
And it might be my first ever fight.
He had a championship belt.
And I was like, later to Tate, I was like, are they supposed to wear their belts out?
And he goes, no, he just does that.
joe rogan
Tim Silley wore that belt everywhere.
unidentified
He wore gloves.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
ari shaffir
He's the heavyweight champion of the world.
Just wears his belt, adds his belt.
joe rogan
Look, man, when you're the heavyweight champion of the world, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
You want to bring that thing everywhere?
Go ahead.
Bring it everywhere.
bert kreischer
That would be an interesting book, Ari, is to hear maybe you and the group that...
Joe's experience with MMA has been so different, but I would love to hear an outsider's view as an insider on the growth of MMA. How it was, but then...
UFC. Yeah, because you guys were going to fights...
joe rogan
Oh yeah, early days.
It was barbaric.
tom segura
You saw some early fights, right?
ari shaffir
Oh yeah.
bert kreischer
How many fights do you think you've been to?
ari shaffir
30, 50?
joe rogan
Easy.
Easy.
He's been to fights in other countries, Australia, Brazil, fucking everywhere.
Everywhere.
ari shaffir
When we started going, the weigh-ins was just the fight camps.
It was just the people who were with the fighters and then like 10 fans.
joe rogan
Yeah, I would announce the weigh-ins.
There was no one there.
tom segura
I went to a weigh-in that fucking 10,000-12,000 people went to.
I forget which one it was.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it changed.
joe rogan
I was like, what?
bert kreischer
When did it change?
joe rogan
I don't know.
I don't know.
tom segura
It's been gradual.
joe rogan
2005 was really when everything shifted.
bert kreischer
Wait, if we go to that McGregor fight, can I go see like a weigh-in and stuff?
joe rogan
See everything, man.
Fuck yeah.
Come with me.
Yeah, I'll bring you backstage everywhere.
bert kreischer
I want to go so bad.
I've never been to one.
I feel like someone said, you know a lot about MMA. I go, I know a lot of names.
I know everything it seems like, but it's just from listening to the podcast.
Never been to a fight.
ari shaffir
Never?
Oh, they're fun.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
ari shaffir
You should take an edible.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Because it's six hours.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
It's six hours.
That's me?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, this is the best one.
This is Ari and Duncan making out because they knew the camera was on them.
Watch this.
Bing.
Here we go.
bert kreischer
Look at the white in their faces!
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
I've never been to one and I went one not knowing what to expect at all.
ari shaffir
It's fun.
tom segura
And being there definitely is an experience.
joe rogan
It's nuts.
tom segura
It's completely different.
ari shaffir
My favorite part always is when they play the Who song.
In between the prelims and the weigh-ins.
joe rogan
And the main event.
ari shaffir
Oh my god.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
The thing is about a fight is that a fight is inherently exciting, but the energy of those arenas makes it...
joe rogan
Did you go with me to the one in Toronto where it was 55,000?
Were you with that one?
ari shaffir
The craziest ones I ever went to was Rio and Columbus.
joe rogan
Columbus is giant.
ari shaffir
When Tim Sylvia fought Captain America.
joe rogan
Oh, when he fought Randy.
That's right.
ari shaffir
And no one thought Randy would win, and then he won every round.
joe rogan
Randy dropped him early in the round.
ari shaffir
Yeah, with the energy.
Oh, yeah, you'll go.
I can't go because I'll be in Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, and Kauai.
joe rogan
Are you doing gigs out there?
unidentified
15, 17, and 19. AriShaphir.com or AriTheGreat.com.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they're all there.
bert kreischer
AriTheGreat?
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's right after New Orleans and Atlanta.
bert kreischer
Are you doing the Blue Note?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
That's a great club.
joe rogan
In Hawaii?
bert kreischer
Blue Note.
I would go back and do that.
You're in Hawaii.
joe rogan
Where's Blue Note?
Is it in Hawaii?
I mean, Maui?
bert kreischer
It's in Oahu.
Honolulu.
ari shaffir
Proper.
joe rogan
Honolulu?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a great club.
Every time I go to Hawaii, I just get drunk and lay on the beach.
tom segura
It's the best.
bert kreischer
By the way, I cannot envision that.
I bet your version of that is different than my version of that.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, I'm conscious.
I don't throw up.
bert kreischer
Do you go for a run early in the morning so you can earn your buzz?
unidentified
100%.
ari shaffir
Nobody tries to pour water on them and save them and drag them back into the water.
joe rogan
I hit the gym every day.
bert kreischer
You never watch a woman get hit in the head by a coconut and go, shut the fuck up!
ari shaffir
You know what I was thinking yesterday in Colombia?
Because I saw a coconut tree.
You know how they say more people die, get hit in the head by a coconut?
joe rogan
150 people die every year.
unidentified
That's not true.
bert kreischer
No, 100%.
joe rogan
I saw a woman get hit on the fucking head by a coconut.
ari shaffir
More than what?
What do they say?
Or is that more than what?
joe rogan
Marijuana?
ari shaffir
No, no one dies of marijuana.
bert kreischer
More than straight people getting AIDS, I think.
joe rogan
More people die from aspirin than coconuts.
3,000 people in the United States every year from aspirin.
unidentified
Aspirin?
joe rogan
Yeah.
150 people die.
This legend gained momentum after 2002 work of a noted expert on shark attacks.
This statistic has often been contrasted with the number of shark-caused deaths per year, which is around five.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but nobody ever lost an arm to a coconut.
joe rogan
Death by coconut.
I'd rather lose an arm than be dead from a coconut.
bert kreischer
Hang on, can I pivot this conversation and say, can we do a mid-year, sober October, mid-year, and do the surfing challenge?
joe rogan
You know, the surfing challenge, what we need to do is go to Kelly Slater's place and do the indoor shit.
bert kreischer
Did you see his pipeline wave?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's dope.
Apparently there's one in Waco that's really crazy.
My friend Kenny Fong, he owns Darkside Motoring in Chatsworth.
Shout out to Kenny.
He fucking flew into Waco, Texas with their surfboards.
And people look at him like, what the fuck are y'all doing here?
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Chip and Joanna.
joe rogan
Waco apparently has a giant indoor surf joint, just like Kelly's place.
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
Wait, so does Kelly's place...
joe rogan
Hey, look at this.
This is fucking bananas, man.
ari shaffir
That's an indoor.
They should have like rubber sharks that come in every once in a while.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, not indoors, obviously.
tom segura
It's manufactured, right?
Wait, so is Kelly's place out here?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
It's like two hours from here.
Fresno.
Fresno, yeah.
bert kreischer
Dude, Kelly did a 24-7 on HBO for Kelly Slater for him competing in this year's Triple Crown.
And it was fucking so...
It makes you...
I watched it and I was like, dude, I just...
joe rogan
Well, it's not fake.
It's generated by man.
But it's a real water wave.
And you can learn how to surf on these motherfuckers.
Obviously, it's going to be so uniform.
ari shaffir
Dude, that's so much easier because you don't have to wait to get a wave.
bert kreischer
You don't have to learn where to sit on the fucking...
Dude, I'm telling you, man.
That 24-7 for Kelly Slater, everyone's got to watch it.
ari shaffir
It's so good.
bert kreischer
That guy is such a...
I've known of him since I was probably...
tom segura
Kid, man.
bert kreischer
I'd say he was 11 years old.
tom segura
Dude, we used to...
The celebrity of living where I lived was that Kelly...
bert kreischer
Kelly Slater.
tom segura
...would surf at Sebastian Inlet.
bert kreischer
Monster Hole.
tom segura
So I was in Vero, and Sebastian's north of Vero, and they're like, Kelly Slater surfs at Sebastian.
I don't even know if it's true.
bert kreischer
He put Cocoa Beach on the map.
I mean, Ron John was out of Cocoa Beach, but you knew Kelly Slater was Cocoa Beach.
Dude, I went to surf at Cocoa Beach.
And I was like, you go out in the lineup and you're just looking around when you're a kid going, is Kelly Slater going to be here?
joe rogan
I knew his name when I was fucking 12, 13. There's a certain celebrity that comes with being a wave rider, like a badass wave rider.
It's a different kind of celebrity.
It's like, that dude's a savage.
ari shaffir
And he was not in Saved by the Bell?
bert kreischer
No, that's different than Slater.
joe rogan
He was in Baywatch, though.
That's Mario Lopez, bro.
tom segura
Oh, different guy.
bert kreischer
I'm telling you, man.
ari shaffir
I'm getting it now.
bert kreischer
Kelly Slater, the wave he caught at Pipeline.
Can you pull that up, the Pipeline?
He just caught a wave at Pipeline.
Did you see that wave?
joe rogan
No, I didn't.
bert kreischer
You've got to pull this up.
tom segura
He's an amazing fucking athlete, for sure.
joe rogan
He's a good dude, too.
bert kreischer
And I love that he's competitive.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I love that.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
Of course he's a world champion.
bert kreischer
No, but people squash that shit and they don't say it publicly.
He was on your podcast and he was talking about like, oh, I used to get obsessed with ping pong.
Oh, sure.
Dude, is this the wave?
joe rogan
And he's an older guy, too, which is crazy.
What year did they have to stop doing this?
Kelly's in his 40s, right?
tom segura
Gotta be.
ari shaffir
He retired.
He won an 8th Pipe Masters.
joe rogan
May have retired?
bert kreischer
If he was going to win, I think he was going to definitely retire.
He's 47 years old.
Perfect 10. Go down.
joe rogan
Perfect 10. That's incredible.
bert kreischer
Go to Perfect 10. Kelly Slater, Perfect 10. This wave, Joe, is like...
joe rogan
Where do you see this?
bert kreischer
Perfect Tenet Pipeline.
This wave is fucking...
joe rogan
Is that it right there?
bert kreischer
It's got it.
unidentified
I hope so.
ari shaffir
It's twice as high.
Three times as high.
bert kreischer
The drop-in's fucking sick, and it closes out on him.
joe rogan
Look at that.
That's crazy.
bert kreischer
Look at this.
And you're like, wait.
joe rogan
So he's through it while it's closing on top of him and hitting him in the face.
Oh my god.
bert kreischer
I don't know.
joe rogan
That's bonkers, man.
bert kreischer
Do you think it is...
Do you think that that feeling right there is like a perfect show where you get a standing ovation?
Look at that.
ari shaffir
Do you ever get...
joe rogan
He's hitting him in the face as he's trying to stay on board.
What kind of fucking balance...
Watch this water.
ari shaffir
Yeah, he knows it.
He's like, if I can just get through here, I've got it.
joe rogan
Look at this.
Look at this.
Right here.
unidentified
Look at this.
joe rogan
It's hitting him in the face.
And he still hangs in there.
bert kreischer
But look at this part.
Look at this feeling he's got.
unidentified
Woo!
bert kreischer
Right?
joe rogan
Yes.
bert kreischer
I've had that coming off stage before, but I can't be like that.
joe rogan
It can't be like that.
But he's also 47 and still able to do this, which is incredible because you've got to think that for high-level athletics like this, that is...
tom segura
Oh, he's competing against 22-year-olds for sure.
joe rogan
That's about his...
High as you get, right?
ari shaffir
Do you think he knows halfway through this, like, oh, this is on the pace right now for perfection?
bert kreischer
Dude, you've got to see this 24-7 because he talks about getting out in the lineup and going, like, sometimes the waves just don't show up.
You can't change that.
joe rogan
Right.
bert kreischer
And then sometimes you go...
Fuck it.
I gotta roll the dice.
This looks like a shit wave, and it may fuck me over, but obviously these are my words.
And then he's like, I'm gonna do it.
And on this thing, he pulls out like a fucking nine on a wave, and everyone's like, what the fuck?
He's still got it!
But it's really crazy, man.
That wave, I saw that because I just watched that thing, and Andrew Schultz is a big surfer.
Schultz is a surfer?
Hardcore, bro.
He lives in New York.
ari shaffir
They have Long Beach people surfing Long Beach.
bert kreischer
And he moved out to LA to go to school up at Santa Barbara to go surfing.
That was his goal.
He was like, I'll surf every day.
And then he got out there and was like, fuck this.
I'm going to get into college.
ari shaffir
Hot chicks, nice weather.
tom segura
Kelly Slater gets the perfect 10 and all his competition is 22-year-old guys.
And they're like, you're a legend, man.
You're a legend.
He's like, you should see the fucking three girls I fucked this morning.
Alright, man.
unidentified
Nice to meet you.
tom segura
He still is doing...
Crazy shit, right?
Like, he's fucking banging models.
unidentified
Is he?
tom segura
Oh, for sure.
bert kreischer
No, he's got a chick.
He's got a chick.
Beautiful chick.
But you should have seen Kelly Slater with hair.
Have you ever seen Kelly Slater with hair?
joe rogan
Is he more handsome?
bert kreischer
Oh, bro.
Pull up a picture of fuckboy.
Like, young fuckboy Kelly Slater.
Like, not fuckboy in a good way, you know?
Like, he was gorgeous.
joe rogan
This is the part of the podcast that he's not going to enjoy.
bert kreischer
I didn't mean fuck going a bad way.
joe rogan
He was enjoying us playing the video.
Look at young Kelly Slater with hair.
bert kreischer
Are you shitting me?
This is movie star looks.
joe rogan
That's the problem.
bert kreischer
Look at that fucking picture!
joe rogan
It's amazing when you're that handsome that you get anything done.
unidentified
Right?
ari shaffir
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
That's the problem with really, really good looking guys.
They're slinging so much.
ari shaffir
Oh, he was in Baywatch.
tom segura
He was.
unidentified
Kelly Slater with hair might be...
Look at that.
joe rogan
Handsome bastard.
With Pamela Anderson back when she was Pamela Anderson.
Kapow, before she was fucking Julian Assange in an embassy somewhere.
ari shaffir
You think they were boning?
unidentified
Woo!
What?
joe rogan
For sure!
Why would she fly all the way over there and not fuck him?
tom segura
Oh, she did?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
You ever see her in The View just laying down the fucking truth to those ladies?
And they treated her like a model and she was like, no, no, I've actually researched a bunch of information I'd like to talk about.
unidentified
Damn.
ari shaffir
It was pretty fucking cool.
unidentified
Well, The View.
bert kreischer
They should do a fantasy camp of chicks you could fuck.
joe rogan
The view is this, but they talk about serious shit and people take them seriously.
tom segura
Take them real seriously.
joe rogan
Yeah, but there's two more, and they're cackling over each other and yelling at each other and telling each other to calm down.
bert kreischer
I think I'm one of those two.
joe rogan
The thing is, though, they're not even friends.
That's what's weird about that show that'll never work.
I guess it works.
ari shaffir
It works.
joe rogan
No, but it doesn't really.
I mean, the conversations are gross.
And they talk over each other.
tom segura
They had a big fight that was publicized.
But like a big one.
joe rogan
But they always do it.
They have like the blonde lady who's a Republican.
I mean, how many times have they tried that?
ari shaffir
The football player's wife.
joe rogan
The Elizabeth Hasselhoff guy.
tom segura
I was thinking of the other one.
McCain.
joe rogan
Yeah, Meghan McCain now.
That's the new one.
They always have the blonde.
And then Whoopi.
Before it was Whoopi.
Was Whoopi always there?
They had Barbara Walters was there.
They had Rosie O'Donnell.
Rosie O'Donnell was there for a long time.
She would battle with the Hasselhoffer.
tom segura
It's funny to think of what goes in to producing The View and what it is, right?
It's people talking about it.
But I'm saying you think of the production, the people, the makeup, the grips, the sound people, the producers taking notes, and then you're doing this is the same thing.
You know what I mean?
Like, the conversation is happening, but without all the nonsense.
joe rogan
Yeah, without any nonsense.
tom segura
That's the difference between TV and this.
joe rogan
Well, I bet that show would be better if you just let them just talk.
tom segura
It definitely would be.
joe rogan
There's no commercials.
tom segura
It'd also be more popular.
joe rogan
Probably.
bert kreischer
How popular is it?
ari shaffir
It's been on for a long time.
joe rogan
Right, but what do you think it gets on an average day?
ari shaffir
I think more than, like, sitcoms.
joe rogan
Like a couple million views?
ari shaffir
No, more.
unidentified
Really?
ari shaffir
I think it's like all these housewives at home with nothing to do with their dumb, boring lives.
bert kreischer
Five million views, probably, I'm guessing.
tom segura
Five million viewers?
ari shaffir
I'd say 20. Let's do this.
unidentified
Let's flip it.
20?
ari shaffir
Fuck it.
unidentified
That's my guess.
bert kreischer
No, it's not 20. Let's flip it the other way, okay?
joe rogan
A hundred million.
bert kreischer
How about this?
ari shaffir
Oh, God.
What a fake.
bert kreischer
What could you add from what they have, their business model, that would increase, would better your show?
joe rogan
Zero.
ari shaffir
I know one.
I know one.
joe rogan
Maybe they could put makeup on my head so I wouldn't be so shiny.
tom segura
Do you know the viewers?
Do you find it or no?
jamie vernon
Last month they averaged about 2.6 million.
tom segura
I guess that's per show.
joe rogan
The difference is how many people are fans and how many people are just flipping through channels.
ari shaffir
Because there's nothing else on.
bert kreischer
I've seen episodes of The View.
joe rogan
I bet you have.
bert kreischer
I definitely have.
Like, when Norm was on...
joe rogan
Do you see when Norm was on?
tom segura
That was the best.
bert kreischer
That was the best episode of the movie.
ari shaffir
What did Norm do with him?
tom segura
Norm says...
bert kreischer
Norm at one point says, I've never had consensual sex with a woman.
ari shaffir
I just see what they do.
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no!
He just got tripped up in his words, and he was on this apology tour, and he was like...
tom segura
It was right as...
Set the stage.
It's right as his Netflix show is about to air.
And he gets in big trouble because he's on Stern.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
Hold on.
Start it over.
He defends Louis first.
Okay.
ari shaffir
Louis and Roseanne.
bert kreischer
And Louis and Roseanne.
Then he goes on Stern...
tom segura
And when he's on Stern, instead of saying, like, you'd have to be retarded to laugh at this or to think this, he'd be like, you'd have to have Down syndrome.
joe rogan
He thinks that's better because he thinks Down syndrome is okay to say, but retarded is bad because it's the R word.
bert kreischer
So he's just a pinball.
tom segura
So he says it a bunch, and they're about to launch the show.
So, of course, like, you know, everybody involved is, like, panicking.
Like, you need to make it clear you have a new show launching.
You got it, you got it.
So he goes on The View, and he's like, yeah.
unidentified
He's like, yeah.
tom segura
And he is, you can see, you can mute this and watch this.
He is eating mints, like, as he, and popping them in his mouth.
unidentified
Oh!
bert kreischer
Joe, he's literally eating mints.
tom segura
And shaking them in his hand.
He's like, man, I feel real bad about that.
And he's like...
bert kreischer
Why would I talk about Louis?
I've never even had consensual sex with a girl.
And they're like, Norm, you've never had consensual sex with a girl?
He goes, why would I? And they're like, I think you're misspeaking, Norm.
unidentified
And then you see him, you're on daytime.
He's like, yeah, so...
tom segura
I feel real bad about that.
joe rogan
He's a fucking wild man.
bert kreischer
He is the best.
joe rogan
He is such a wild man.
bert kreischer
I was just talking to Adam about this.
Do you remember the time you came?
We can't tell the full story because I think Norm wouldn't be comfortable with it.
But do you remember the time right before the election where you had a vape pen that was really strong and Norm came back?
joe rogan
Yes.
bert kreischer
Do you remember what he said to us?
joe rogan
No, what did he say?
I wish I could say it out loud.
unidentified
It was the funniest.
joe rogan
I got him fucked up.
He was not ready.
I got him fucked up.
I smoked weed before this.
Guys that don't smoke weed a lot, they just do it occasionally, they think they remember what weed is.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
This weed that they're fucking with today is a different animal.
And the pen is so innocuous, it's just vaporizing.
Hash.
unidentified
Hash.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it was hash oil in the pen.
It was fucking, it was nuclear.
tom segura
I smoked with him one time in a parking lot in Irvine right before I was with Ryan Sickler.
Ryan always has good weed.
And we met Norm and we were about to go in and he smoked.
Dude, he's like such a comfortable comic.
He doesn't need like handing some time alone to get my mind right before this.
They were in the parking lot.
He takes a fucking monster hit of strong weed and he starts coughing, like coughing enough to make like a tear cum where you're like...
And then we walk into the Irvine Improv and they're announcing him.
He just walks on stage and he just starts talking about the soda he's drinking and killing with it.
Like just off the top of his head, just totally comfortable.
joe rogan
He's one of the funniest guys ever.
bert kreischer
Him and Stanhope changed the way I did this next special.
This next special was like...
Because I love those guys that grow.
You know?
That when you see them, they're not doing their like...
There's nothing wrong with it, but they're doing the exact same type of stuff they did in the last one.
They're just changing the names a little bit.
joe rogan
Right, right.
I know what you're saying.
bert kreischer
And I looked at...
I called Stanhope...
Maybe one of the most...
unidentified
is a Stanhope.
bert kreischer
Just when you said that smell thing where your brain goes, wait, what the fuck?
I called Stanhope one day and he was like, hey, what are you doing?
He was like, drinking a vodka and grape juice, grapefruit juice, trying to write a knock-knock joke.
I was like, what?
He's like, yeah, I'm thinking of funny goofs, you know, trying to write a knock-knock joke.
We got to be as funny as those guys, right?
I was like, yeah.
And he goes, so we could write one, couldn't we?
He was like, I'm going to tell you what I got.
And he reads a couple of knock-knock jokes.
And I was like, yeah, why the fuck aren't we fucking with the format?
And then Norm.
I see Norm.
And Norm has the best joke.
I'm going to tell you the joke is that great.
It's the best joke.
joe rogan
Is he still doing it?
bert kreischer
No.
No.
Norm, this for me was like, why aren't we sometimes taking a step back to take a step forward, right?
Norm has a joke.
He goes, I got a new neighbor.
I see the neighbor and I said, hey neighbor, what do you do for a living?
The neighbor says, Norm, I'm a professor of logic down at the University of Science.
And Norm says, what's that?
He goes, well, Norm, it's hard for me to explain.
It's easier for me to just show you what I do.
Norm, do you have a dog, Alice?
And Norm goes, I do.
And he goes, well, then you must have a dog, logically.
And he goes, I do have a dog.
And he goes, all right.
And if you have a dog, logically, I can assume you must have a child.
Do you have a child, Norm?
And he goes, I do have a child.
He goes, well, if you have a child, logically, I can assume you must be married to a woman.
Are you married to a woman, Norm?
And he goes, I am.
He goes, Norm, then logically I can assume you're a straight white male.
And Norm goes, wow, that's amazing.
So the next day, Norm's down at a bus stop having a cigarette, sees another one of his neighbors.
The neighbor says, Norm, did you meet the new neighbor?
He goes, yeah, I did.
He goes, what's he do for a living?
He goes, he's a professor of logic down at the University of Science.
He goes, what is that?
And he goes, well, it's hard for me to explain, but it's much easier for me to show.
Guy goes, yeah.
And he goes, yeah.
And Norm goes, hey, do you have a doghouse?
He goes, no.
And he goes, well, then you must be a faggot.
unidentified
Why?
joe rogan
It's a great joke.
bert kreischer
It's a great joke.
We're all funny.
joe rogan
Because that's a problematic word, and it's banned.
You're such a piece of shit.
unidentified
You're like, why can't we say it?
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan
It sure sounds like that.
unidentified
No, no, no.
ari shaffir
I can't make jokes like that.
bert kreischer
It's a great joke.
It's a great joke, but that old school joke writing, we all stepped away from, but what if we could tether ourselves to it a tad bit in what we're doing now?
ari shaffir
Norman does that.
Mark Norman does jokes like that.
bert kreischer
Mark Norman does, but stand up going, I'm writing knock-knock jokes, just for a writing exercise, where you go, what if you just wrote a book?
Banger knock-knock joke.
joe rogan
You can do it.
You can do it.
bert kreischer
I did it for this special.
I wrote something like that.
ari shaffir
When are your specials coming out?
bert kreischer
I can't say it yet, but I know.
joe rogan
You can't say it yet, but you know.
ari shaffir
They just do that.
tom segura
They just tell you.
joe rogan
It's interesting.
I wonder if that hurts.
ari shaffir
They say don't waste your time.
joe rogan
How does that hurt?
ari shaffir
Promoting it ahead of time, but you can still promote it ahead of time.
joe rogan
You know what you can say?
I think they actually do request at Netflix that you don't release the time.
So people can't get souped up for it?
They want to be the ones that tell.
That comes with spending a lot of money.
bert kreischer
I'm going big for this special.
tom segura
In what way?
bert kreischer
Tommy knows.
I got big plans.
ari shaffir
Your videos?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Promotion videos?
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm going to do something different.
joe rogan
Are you saying something that you can't say?
bert kreischer
Yeah, so let's change the subject.
unidentified
Well, what the fuck is this?
bert kreischer
Yeah, let's change the subject.
joe rogan
This is nonsense.
You're hurting people's feelings at home.
tom segura
You are going to do something.
bert kreischer
But I think that's what's cool about comedy.
That's why I've always liked...
Like, I like guys that go against grain, but like Burr, I feel like Burr every time does something different, like challenges himself with an act out or something.
tom segura
He does.
bert kreischer
You know?
tom segura
He does.
ari shaffir
He always says that.
He was like, figure out what to do bad and then just only do that for a while.
tom segura
Yeah, he's like, I didn't do like the back and forth conversation style bit.
I'm going to work on that in this special and then he'll be in that special.
bert kreischer
It was so good.
I know what you're talking about because I talked to Burr about this too.
It's the one with this, when he adopts the two sons.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
It's one of the best.
I watched that on my treadmill, drinking wine in my man cave, and I went...
joe rogan
Wait a minute, you're drinking wine on the treadmill?
bert kreischer
Yeah, always.
tom segura
This is part of the routine.
ari shaffir
It's called multitasking, Joe.
Get into it.
It saves your time.
tom segura
Maybe hire a fucking trainer.
bert kreischer
That one joke...
joe rogan
Have you thought about hiring a trainer?
bert kreischer
No.
That one joke is fucking...
ari shaffir
Is that his last special?
No.
bert kreischer
No, it's like three specials ago.
I think not enough people challenge themselves to get outside the box, I think.
In our business.
joe rogan
Do you write right, Bert?
Do you sit down and write?
bert kreischer
A little bit, but not too much.
joe rogan
That means no.
unidentified
No, no, no.
bert kreischer
Because what happens, Joe, is that it becomes...
ari shaffir
I don't much.
bert kreischer
It becomes too much for you to remember on stage.
So what I do is I'll write bullet points of things that pop for me, but to sit and longhand write, it becomes too much information.
I don't remember it.
And I've done it a bunch.
tom segura
Your brain doesn't even work like that.
ari shaffir
I get too, like, presentational when I do that, too.
I try to recite it as I wrote it instead of just, like, just say it.
tom segura
Do you have any bits that feel, like, that are so word-specific they feel like you're reciting?
unidentified
Not in a bad way, but it's just like...
ari shaffir
Off the road for a while, and then I try doing it at a club, like a comedy store or The Stand or something like that, and then I start doing it.
I'm like, oh, I'm reciting this instead of talking to an audience of 40 or 50. It feels weird.
tom segura
The small crowd will make you talk to them.
joe rogan
The more time you spend in preparation, and this is something that I didn't start doing until about two years ago, actually preparing for shows, like going over notes.
And one of the things that I have in the writer of my contract, I write...
unidentified
Index cards, right?
joe rogan
Index cards, yeah.
Index cards.
I got that from Kevin James.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, I have Kevin James as a rider.
ari shaffir
And your white wine.
joe rogan
Yeah, white wine.
I took that out.
tom segura
And you also have all white couches and white flowers in your dressing room.
joe rogan
White M&M's.
Only white drivers.
bert kreischer
Who's the racist now?
joe rogan
White limos.
tom segura
No, I think the white...
That was like an old...
Tommy Davidson.
Yeah, like a J-Lo thing.
ari shaffir
Tommy Davidson's a white limo has to pick me up.
I think that's Eddie Griffin.
joe rogan
I think that's Eddie Griffin.
ari shaffir
Oh, really?
unidentified
No, I think that was D-Ray.
ari shaffir
You guys are saying those are not the same people?
tom segura
I actually worked at a club once where they were like, there was somebody here who requested a white, here's the thing, it wasn't like a white limo, they were like a white Yukon.
Like it had to be a specific model vehicle.
And they did not pick it up and that person chose to wait at the airport.
ari shaffir
That's what I heard was Tommy Davidson, it was a story I heard like that.
I love those people who are like, I put these crazy things in my writer to make sure they're reading it, but that's the only thing they put in their writer.
tom segura
Is that thing.
ari shaffir
So it's like, you're not putting it in for that, you want that thing.
tom segura
You want that thing.
Just say it.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, that's in the Marvelous Mrs. Maison.
You gotta put things in your writer or people don't take you seriously.
tom segura
That's interesting.
joe rogan
But I don't know anybody who's legit that has wacky things in their ride.
ari shaffir
Do you remember when they asked you guys, do you want a rider?
And you're like, a rider?
What?
joe rogan
Most people don't even know what we're talking about.
tom segura
If you're a performer and you work a venue, you have the option to basically make requests of things you want in your green room so that you feel happy and comfortable to perform.
ari shaffir
But at first it was like, make sure there's some water, I guess, backstage.
unidentified
I got water.
ari shaffir
Maybe a beer or two.
I can just go to the front and get it.
joe rogan
Buffalo trays, whiskey, Cabernet, meat tray, fruit.
tom segura
Meat tray is key.
ari shaffir
I got throat coat tea, gummy bears.
joe rogan
Gummy bears.
tom segura
I have a meat and cheese plate, a veggie plate, water, both flat and still, coffee, tea, and that's, you know, all I have.
joe rogan
That's pretty standard.
tom segura
It's pretty standard.
I mean, it's insane when you see, like, usually what musicians can really drive it up.
joe rogan
Chappelle has all red lights in his dressing room.
tom segura
That's kind of cool, though, because I'll tell you what, when you're in a poorly lit room...
bert kreischer
It's a cool vibe unless you're the guy that's gotta go find fucking red lights.
tom segura
Yeah, that's true.
But the lighting fucking makes a difference, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
Like, shitty, like, over office light, you know, overhead.
That fucking sucks.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was real bright in the other classroom.
ari shaffir
That doesn't make you feel like going out there.
One time we were in the green room, and it was your green room, and you invited the ring card girls back just to hang and stuff.
And I was trying to get my head, get ready for a fucking big show, and these squawking fucking hot chicks.
I was like, I just sit in the stairwell to fucking collect my thoughts.
tom segura
Do you remember the story I told you about sitting next to a ring card girl one time on a flight home?
No.
This is fucking, I don't know how many years ago.
I did a gig with you, and then I had a different flight.
And one of the ring card girls was sitting across the aisle from me.
And she just went, water?
Water?
And I was like, people were like turning.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
She was like, water?
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
I remember this.
tom segura
And then the flight attendant came up and they're like, are you saying something?
And she was like, water?
And they're like, would you like some water?
And she was like, yeah.
And then they're like, she didn't press a button or say excuse me.
She just said water.
Loudly.
Until somebody was like, oh, I guess you want water.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
She must have been really hungover.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
unidentified
Imagine.
joe rogan
You're so hungover you can't say, can I please have some water?
tom segura
Water.
bert kreischer
I've done that from my bed before.
unidentified
Leanne, water!
bert kreischer
Water and job.
tom segura
How many times has she heard water before?
ari shaffir
A lot.
bert kreischer
I would never be my wife.
joe rogan
You can't be in the green room with a bunch of people that don't understand what you're going through.
You know, one time we did a show, we did this fucking end of the world show at the...
No, no, no.
That was the End of the World.
That was the 2016 one for the election.
We did one for 2012 with Stan Hope and Diaz and Honey Honey.
We did it at the Wiltern, right?
And for whatever reason, the agents all decided it was a party in my fucking green room.
ari shaffir
Agents always do that.
joe rogan
Pre-show.
ari shaffir
I'm talking 20. And they all do it.
joe rogan
They all knew that it was in L.A., so they all wanted to come.
So they came and they were drinking.
ari shaffir
They do it in Montreal, too.
joe rogan
And I was like, hey, I'm getting ready for a show.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
And they were talking so loud.
Like, they didn't give a fuck.
ari shaffir
They're like, it's the place to hang.
I was in the green room with...
joe rogan
Right.
ari shaffir
But it's like, guys...
joe rogan
They treated it like it was the green room of a sitcom.
tom segura
Post-show?
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
Post-show, I don't care if a serial killer comes in the green room.
You can do whatever you want.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
Pre-show, I like a real chill, fucking low-key vibe.
unidentified
Yeah, me too, man.
joe rogan
Me too.
tom segura
And there's nothing crazier than like...
ari shaffir
How about you in Verde?
unidentified
Strange...
tom segura
Strangers popping in.
The overzealous agent person.
joe rogan
Or somebody...
ari shaffir
Poachers?
You ever get a poacher in there?
tom segura
Dude, the fucking...
ari shaffir
An agent poacher?
We're like, hey man, how you doing with your agent?
You like him?
I'm so on first with the opener.
tom segura
Have you had an opener that you don't know bring people?
And you're like, who are these people?
And you're like, are you insane?
One time I had a guy bring his family.
unidentified
No.
tom segura
His family...
Who's the guy?
This sounds crazy to say.
unidentified
Who's the guy?
joe rogan
Was the guy opening for you?
tom segura
Yes.
ari shaffir
It was a random.
tom segura
No.
And it sounds crazy if you're listening or whatever and you're like, what are you talking about?
Well, when you get to the venue and you're going to do a show, for most people, they want it like...
A pretty relaxed vibe pre-show.
You're going to perform.
You definitely don't want like a stranger.
I mean, if there's a stranger, at most you're going to be like, hello, and then nice to meet you, and then they're going to leave because they understand you're about to do a thing, right?
You want to relax.
You don't necessarily have to meditate.
You're just like, I just want a relaxed atmosphere, right?
Like most performers.
joe rogan
You've got to get your head straight.
You're ready to go perform.
tom segura
This guy had kids.
joe rogan
No.
tom segura
He had kids in the fucking green room.
How many people?
It was him, his wife, two small children, and then the promoter- So he was a new comic.
He was newer, yeah.
And the promoter came by and was like, hey, how's it going?
I was like, it's cool to know we're doing a fucking daycare here today.
And he was like, you don't know this?
And I go, well, I mean, I don't- Really know him, but I'm meeting his children right now in the fucking green room of this.
I mean, it was bizarre, man.
joe rogan
He didn't even ask if it was okay to bring my family in?
unidentified
Not at all.
ari shaffir
I'll feel bad if I know somebody and they're in there and I'm headlining and an opener's in there.
I'm like, it's your green room, too, because you're also performing.
But, like, I don't want my friends in there imposing on the opener.
tom segura
Dude.
ari shaffir
You know?
That's not fair to them.
tom segura
If I was opening for you...
I would never fucking have the balls to bring.
Be like, oh, he's my friend.
Fucking Steve wants to say.
No way, dude.
ari shaffir
Or a local comic who's not on the show comes by to hang out and just shoot the shit.
tom segura
Do all that post-show, dude.
bert kreischer
I wrote off a dude that I was friends with for a while when I shot this special in Cleveland who wanted to just come hang out backstage.
I don't have really a guest list.
It's kind of a closed set.
In between shows, I'm getting notes from That's a huge night.
It's a huge fucking night.
And I just was like, and he sent me a nasty fucking email about me being a liar about not having a guest list.
And I was like, alright bro, I guess I'll never speak to you again.
joe rogan
This was when you were filming?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
tom segura
Wait, he was on the show with you?
bert kreischer
No, no.
He wasn't on the show.
He just was in town.
He wanted to come hang out.
joe rogan
He sent you a nasty email saying you're a liar?
bert kreischer
Because what?
joe rogan
Because you said you didn't have a guest list because you wanted to come backstage and hang out?
bert kreischer
Yeah, he wanted to come to the shows.
And I was like, hey man, I'm in a different spot.
I've got the people that have been touring with me.
joe rogan
Did he not understand that you were doing a special?
ari shaffir
That's not why you're a liar.
tom segura
Is he a comic?
bert kreischer
He's a comic.
It really fucked me up.
And then all of a sudden you're fighting with someone on the day you're special.
I was like, you know what?
Fuck this, man.
ari shaffir
That's on them.
It's like, fuck you for putting me in a position of am I special to have to fight with you?
You're an asshole.
You should go overboard to try to...
tom segura
You're trying to mentally distract me.
That's what you're doing.
bert kreischer
Dude, it's fuck.
Don't get me into it because it'll spin me out.
But like, man, I'm your friend.
I'll never put you in a situation where I go, like, yo, Joe, can you get my buddy on?
I never do that.
When people come and go, hey, can you get me on Joe's?
I just write them off.
That's the way my brain works.
I go, if I'm your friend, I'm only your friend.
I'm never going to ask shit of you.
joe rogan
The worst is when you're doing a weekend at a club and some guy asks to do a guest set.
And you're like, dude, I don't even know you.
tom segura
I don't even know you.
They're like, so just give me a shot.
joe rogan
Hey man, you mind if I do a guest set?
What?
Bro.
Have you ever done that?
Did you ever do that when you were coming up?
tom segura
Never.
b-real
Did you ever go to a national headliner?
unidentified
Not one time in my entire fucking life.
tom segura
Here's how opposite of that, because I feel so...
I mean, I do not want to feel impolite.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't want to pose ever.
tom segura
I actually went to a show one time and was asked if I wanted to do a guest spot, and I was like, that's inappropriate for me to say.
I just felt rude being there.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
tom segura
You know what I mean?
bert kreischer
It's people that are entitled versus people that aren't entitled.
I know this from knowing Tom as long as I've known him, and Ari as well.
None of us are the kind of guys that were like, next step.
What's the next step in this business to get forward?
Who do I step on to get to the next level?
I was always like, I want to find my group and I want to be safe.
I want to do what I do and have them be like, hey man, that was not good or this was good as friends so that I knew that what I was doing as an art form was safe.
I never was like, dude, get me on your fucking thing.
Get me on your thing.
It's...
tom segura
There's so many of those guys out here.
joe rogan
There are so many of those guys.
And there's also people that get upset that you don't use them to open when you use other people that they think are their equal to open.
Do you ever get that?
ari shaffir
But it's just like, what do you mean I'm friends with them?
Or like, I don't know, I chose somebody.
tom segura
Also, by the way, not getting your shit together to open a big...
If I had the balls to ask you to open one of your shows, I would come to it at least...
Feeling like my 20 is so goddamn tight.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
So that when you do it, you're like, this is a good decision.
joe rogan
Right.
bert kreischer
I would be way more nervous as a younger comic opening up for you than you would be.
I would be dialed in.
joe rogan
Oh, of course.
ari shaffir
I remember asking Dom.
Not asking Dom.
I was open for Pauly in Baltimore.
I was home for Thanksgiving or something.
And the week after that in D.C., Dom was there.
And I saw the lineup.
I was like...
Nah, I'm never going to ask him.
I can't.
And then Eleanor told him later, like afterwards, Ari was there.
He was going to ask you, but he was felt embarrassed.
unidentified
He goes, I should have asked.
ari shaffir
I totally would have let him.
unidentified
I was going to put him in position in case he was like, uh.
joe rogan
You're imposing.
tom segura
You're polite to think that, though.
bert kreischer
I've got to give a shout-out to Mike Birbiglia.
One time I was in town shooting something in Tampa for TripFlip or Travel Channel.
Mike Birbiglia was at the Tampa Improv and we were having sushi next door.
And I was like, I'm going to sneak my head in and just say hi or whatever.
You know?
Because I was a big fan.
I think Birbiglia to this day is one of the best storytellers around.
ari shaffir
Storytellers, yeah.
bert kreischer
Without a fucking doubt.
joe rogan
Very, very good.
bert kreischer
I honestly don't know if I would have the balls to be doing what I'm doing right now if Birbiglia hadn't been the first guy to tell a long story.
ari shaffir
Yeah, he really was the first one I remember on a stand-up stage doing that.
joe rogan
And he used to write a blog and his blog became really popular.
bert kreischer
Did he?
He was on NPR. What was it?
He would read it on Bob and Tom.
It was fucking huge.
I rolled into the Tampa Improv.
I'm drunk.
I'm fucking full of sushi.
And I stick my head in the green room and I go, Hey man, Bert Kreischer...
I like how you're trying to be complimentary.
And I remember the look on his face was so deer in headlights.
And I was like, just big fan.
I'm in town.
I'm shooting my TV show.
I just wanted to come in and say hi.
And he was like, all right.
And then I was like silent for a minute.
He goes, are you asking for a guest set?
And I went, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
unidentified
And he was like, oh, thank God.
joe rogan
The real problem is I've given guys a guest set and then they go on and they cover a topic that you cover.
tom segura
That is true.
joe rogan
That's a problem.
tom segura
I didn't think of that.
joe rogan
You don't know what they're doing.
You have no idea what their set is about.
tom segura
You know what the real fuck thing is, though?
If somebody opens for you, and then you're like, you have something like that, and then they keep opening for you, and then you're like, you see that I'm doing this, right?
Like, you know that I'm doing this.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, I've had guys do a version.
Right.
You know how guys do it on purpose?
Yeah.
Like, they try to step on your material?
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
And they're opening for you?
ari shaffir
I'm always afraid, too, they're going to be like, if they do something and then you do it, like, hey, I didn't take this from you, just so you know.
You have to tell them.
I already had my thing planned.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, it's just some guys will try to kill so that you bomb.
You know, like, the local guys.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
That's always an issue if you go to a place and these fucking guys have never seen you before and they're like, Tom Segura.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Let me watch this motherfucker.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, and they'll, you know, they'll just...
ari shaffir
What do you got four fucking special Netflix?
joe rogan
Fuck this guy.
unidentified
Fuck this guy.
bert kreischer
Dude, these fans are my fans.
They just gotta see me and then they'll be following me.
joe rogan
They'll do a lot of local shit.
That's one thing.
bert kreischer
They do a lot of local shit.
tom segura
If they drive up that local shit, you know they're whack as fuck immediately.
If they lean into it hard, it's one thing to make one or two comments, but if they do six minutes on local...
joe rogan
Half my act was local when I lived in Boston.
tom segura
Half my act.
But you're starting out.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it was so sad when I would go on the road.
All my best bits...
ari shaffir
You guys remember 3rd Street?
People are like, No.
You mean where the car dealerships are?
No.
Gay community.
bert kreischer
If I could find a time machine, I would go back to Boston in the late 80s, and I'd have Joe Rogan open for me, and I would just take him with me and be like, so, hey, tell me what you think about aliens.
And then just simply like, you know, I haven't really thought about it a lot yet, but I've been reading these books.
ari shaffir
I'm just starting to develop some thoughts on it.
tom segura
It is so funny to be able to know somebody for a long time and then look up shit like 20 years ago.
You know what I mean?
I can watch clips of you, myself, and I'm like, ugh.
joe rogan
It's weird.
bert kreischer
It's so weird.
The weirdest part about being friends with you is I was a fan of yours before I was friends with you.
When you and Brian were doing that Joe show, I was like fucking so into that.
I was into this podcast before I ever got on the podcast.
I remember telling you one time about you with Janet Jameson.
You're like, I've never been with Janet Jameson.
I was like, I'm fucking pretty certain I saw it.
You're like, I've never met her.
I was like, I'm pretty sure there's a video out there of you guys at a party.
And you were like, I'm pretty sure.
And I was like, I watched it.
joe rogan
I think your memory sucks.
I definitely didn't say I never met Janet Jameson.
bert kreischer
By the way, hang on.
If there is an astute person, you will hear it on the podcast.
joe rogan
Are you saying that I didn't know her?
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no.
This is way before she started dating Tito Ortiz.
This is like a long time ago.
I remember you and Jenna Jameson at a...
By the way...
ari shaffir
Party in Phoenix.
bert kreischer
I remember a party...
joe rogan
Yeah, with her husband.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a video of her husband.
She's explaining how to eat pussy.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I'm not crazy then.
joe rogan
You're just ruining the story.
bert kreischer
Probably.
unidentified
I wish Burberry was here to save me.
joe rogan
He's giving a version of the story that doesn't make sense.
bert kreischer
But yeah, it is crazy to know of people's past lives.
I'll tell you what I would love a fucking documentary about is the store.
joe rogan
There's one coming out.
They're doing the Showtime thing.
ari shaffir
Mike Binder's doing it, and he's doing it real slow, which makes you give real hope that it's going to be good.
He's taking like two years to do it.
bert kreischer
By the way, I'm in that documentary.
I wish I hadn't said that out loud.
unidentified
Yeah.
What?
You're not even drunk.
joe rogan
What's going on with you?
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
Did you have a stroke?
ari shaffir
I wish it was a documentary knowing full well about it.
bert kreischer
I'm in the vodka documentary.
joe rogan
Did you have a stroke five minutes ago?
bert kreischer
I might have.
Let's make another cocktail.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
There's plenty of booze.
bert kreischer
There you go.
joe rogan
Try some of that Dan Aykroyd skull.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Alien skull fucking vodka.
ari shaffir
Oh, that his is the skull one?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I'll try it.
tom segura
Is there more ice there, by any chance?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
But I'm curious always to know about the store when I wasn't there.
ari shaffir
Dude, it was the best in the early aughts.
bert kreischer
But people say it was the worst.
ari shaffir
Okay, for stand-up shows, sure, it was the worst.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no.
tom segura
For its entire purpose?
bert kreischer
Energy-wise, it sounds like it was horrible.
ari shaffir
No, Dom says it the best.
He goes, there was this young group of...
Okay, I knew it as the employee section, so I don't know about the people who were like 10, 12-year comics.
But as the employees, it was like we ran the place.
It was so much fun.
tom segura
I just saw it as a foreign place.
ari shaffir
We would go sneak in the back to see the mainstream comics who were fucking in the back.
tom segura
The Ackroyd.
Try something.
Oh, you want to try it?
bert kreischer
Have you tried it?
tom segura
I'm going to try it.
joe rogan
Are you scared of Dan Ackroyd's alcohol?
bert kreischer
I'm scared of any alcohol that I didn't pour in my...
Bring with me personally, Joe.
joe rogan
Oh, I just drank some of that, man.
There's nothing in there.
It's just Dan Ackroyd's...
We opened that.
ari shaffir
That's because of me.
bert kreischer
I would be curious to know...
unidentified
Dan Ackroyd.
tom segura
Big fan.
bert kreischer
Big test right here.
I want to know why certain personalities didn't get closer.
In knowing them as adults, they should be closer.
Does that make sense?
Closer to what?
ari shaffir
Closer friends, you mean?
bert kreischer
I would love to know the camps.
Who were in the different camps.
joe rogan
There was no camaraderie back then.
There was some camaraderie with door guys and stuff like that.
ari shaffir
Door guys had camaraderie.
joe rogan
The problem was there was this leftover shit from guys who were all struggling to get sitcoms.
They were all struggling to be the host of a talk show.
bert kreischer
Destonic.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it was good, Joe.
You're right.
It was good when there was a level of acceptance that the place was a failure and that we were just in it for jokes.
joe rogan
Yes.
And then we're like, we're not going to get anything because Bobby Lee was like the most successful guy because he was on Mad TV. The thing that was going on that was weird was that the guys that were at the higher level, there was a few that were left over.
They had seen Kinnison take off and they had seen David Letterman take off and they were still there.
Frankie Pace.
Yeah, there was a few of those guys that were left behind, and they were very bitter, and they did not like young guys.
There was a different thing.
Like today, when young guys are coming up, or young girls, anybody who's funny at the store gets love.
You know, whether it's a doorman, or somebody who works the booth, there's no, like, there's no, anyone, no one's trying to hold anybody down.
unidentified
There's no competition.
ari shaffir
It's not like you're making it so I'm not.
joe rogan
The internet changed it all because we all have a platform to help now.
Whereas before, it was like the only way you got successful was through television.
Television was the goal.
And if Tommy got a TV show, you were like, fuck, that could have been my show.
And so there was this backstabby, weird fucking competition back then.
ari shaffir
Yeah, now it's different.
Oh, fuck.
b-real
Now everybody helps everybody.
joe rogan
It's a different animal.
ari shaffir
If you get like Santino, suddenly from like no podcast to a successful podcast, now everybody's like, oh, that's another platform I can go on.
joe rogan
Exactly.
ari shaffir
It's just like good for everybody.
joe rogan
It's also like when someone gets a Netflix special or something, everybody gets happy.
And everybody gets pumped.
And they also see like, hey, if you bust your ass and you're good and you work hard, you can get one too.
tom segura
You can get one too.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's not like it used to be, man.
It was weird, man.
When I first...
I got a sitcom and I came out here in 94. I came out with a sitcom.
I already had a sitcom.
So when I came out here, I came out here to do a sitcom and what was more important to me than anything was being a paid regular at the store.
That's what I give a fuck about.
The sitcom was just, I felt like it's going to get cancelled eventually.
I'm just going to make some money while I can and this is way more money than I ever thought I could ever make.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
But I'm going to do comedy.
And so then I would be hanging around at the store, but there was no friends.
It was weird.
bert kreischer
Who was there when you first went to the store?
Who was there?
joe rogan
Mencia was there.
He was there.
He was just starting.
ari shaffir
Stanhope and Ralphie?
joe rogan
What's that?
ari shaffir
Stanhope and Ralphie?
joe rogan
No, no.
Stanhope was never there.
Ralphie wasn't really there.
Schubert was there.
Schubert was there before me.
Schubert was there.
He's like Mitzi's driver back in the fucking day.
tom segura
Did you know that he's passed at the Magic Castle?
Did you know that?
joe rogan
He's a magician?
tom segura
Yeah.
Jimmy Schubert?
joe rogan
He's a really good magician?
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
No kidding.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Wow.
joe rogan
I didn't know that.
ari shaffir
I asked Schubert once.
I was a door guy and his parents were there.
Philadelphia or something like that.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
And I was like, hey, do you get nervous when your parents...
Because my parents see me like once ever.
And I was like, do you get nervous when your parents see you?
He goes, no, no.
They see me a bunch of times.
I don't care.
But he goes, no.
When Mitzi's here, you know, that's tough.
And I've been inside of her.
unidentified
I was like, what?!
joe rogan
Yeah, he used to bang Mitzi when he was a young fella.
tom segura
He was, huh?
Are you serious?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
That's how he got spots.
ari shaffir
Yep.
She was straight up like, if you want to get up, you got to get it up.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was back in the day.
It was okay to do that.
No one had a problem with it.
It's not like a Harvey Weinstein type deal.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Also the kind of collector.
joe rogan
He gives a shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And we gave a fuck.
But back then, it was like a few big guys would stop in.
Like Martin Lawrence would stop in.
There was a few guys.
bert kreischer
Was he cool?
ari shaffir
Paul Rodriguez?
joe rogan
I never got to talk to him.
He's friendly with me now, but back then I would go on after him.
Just eat shit.
tom segura
Do you remember him as the host of Def Jam?
bert kreischer
Dude, he was fucking amazing.
unidentified
Bro, listen, man.
joe rogan
When I got past the store...
ari shaffir
Stepping into the pussy.
Remember that joke?
bert kreischer
Should I light another cigar or are we getting done close to none?
ari shaffir
No, I'm going to re-light this one, but you can light another one.
bert kreischer
Is that okay?
tom segura
I just remember...
This to me, I think, is such a compliment to him, but I mean it sincerely, because I was obsessed.
I would go in our basement to watch Def Jam, because I couldn't watch that in the living room.
You have to watch that in the basement.
And he was so funny and just engaging.
They're so charismatic that I would look forward...
To the interstitials.
Like, to him coming back just to introduce the next person.
Because that's how funny he was.
joe rogan
He was on top of the world.
tom segura
Yeah, he really was.
joe rogan
Back then, I was a young comic who was not very good, and I used to have to go on after him.
ari shaffir
What time were your spots?
joe rogan
Every...
Whenever someone was good, I would be on after them.
Anybody who crushed, whether it was Dice or anybody who was good, Martin Lawrence, I would go on after Martin Lawrence.
He'd go on stage with a leather jumpsuit on.
ari shaffir
Any of this, I've never asked you.
How did you get past?
What was your showcase like?
joe rogan
This is why I got passed.
There was a guy named the Todd.
Do you remember the Todd?

The Todd went crazy.
joe rogan
The Todd went crazy.
But before he went crazy, he helped me out.
He told me to do this for other people.
When I was first starting out, Mitzi thought I was okay, but I could work as a non-paid regular.
And I was, you know, I think I was 26. And so I was doing sets at the store after the show.
So the show would go on to, like, whatever, 1 o'clock in the morning, and I was there every fucking night.
And I did that for six months.
And then, I mean, I had no friends.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
I didn't know anybody here.
Yeah.
I didn't know anybody here.
So I just moved here to do a television.
bert kreischer
You were just hanging out in the hallway, guy?
joe rogan
I would just go up.
I would go up after the show was over.
I knew that I could get a spot at 1 o'clock in the morning if I waited.
ari shaffir
What time was the last spot back then?
joe rogan
I don't remember.
I remember I would go on always around 1 a.m.
ari shaffir
Okay.
joe rogan
And there was very few people in the crowd, but...
She gave me a showcase.
I did the showcase.
She goes, you can be a non-paid regular.
So I was like, good.
So I can do sets after the show.
So I'd go and I'd sit around and I'd wait and I'd watch.
I didn't have a life back then, okay?
I had the sitcom that I was doing during the day.
And then at nighttime, I had no friends.
I had just moved here, so I'd just hang around the store.
And I was really disappointed because the store was mecca to me, man.
Back when I lived in Boston, I was like, I heard about the comedy store.
That's where Kenison was.
And we were all like, one day we're going to go to the comedy store in L.A. And I went there and there was these bodaks, man.
These fucking casino acts.
They were terrible.
There were so many bad comics that had missed the wave, right?
There was a wave in the 1980s where basically anybody could be a comic.
You just had to talk like a comedian.
And I'm looking at my cat and I'm like, what is this, Wild Kingdom in my living room?
And there was these fucking shucking, jiving, non-perspective-having guys, and a few of them lingered.
And so those are the ones that were at the store.
So the wave of Kinison...
See, I'm here in 94, right?
Kinison was huge in 88. You've got to realize, that's only six years.
So Kinison's huge in 88, and then he dies in 92, right?
Somewhere around then?
I'm living in New York when he died, and then I'm in LA two years later, and the fucking place is a ghost town.
I'm telling you, it was like...
ari shaffir
Do you think it died because he died?
joe rogan
It was a big part of it.
ari shaffir
He made it go away.
joe rogan
Well, I kept hearing about all these celebrities that would come to the comedy store to see Kinison.
And I was like, wow, they all came to see Kinison?
That's crazy.
They came to see him.
Like all these fucking rock stars and Keith Richards and fucking...
Movie stars and Belushi and all these guys would come to the comedy store.
That shit was gone by the time I got there.
So by the time I got there, you know, the comedy store's gone through these in the past.
These like peaks and valleys.
And I got there in a valley.
But I stayed, I was there for like six months and this guy, the Todd, was there, right?
And the Todd, that's the Todd right there.
That guy.
I owe that guy a lot.
unidentified
It's hard to find.
joe rogan
He's gone now.
Anyway, the Todd had like a severe mental episode where he literally, something went wrong.
Like some sort of a disease, something went wrong mentally and he lost his mind.
But before he lost his mind, he sat down next to Mitzi.
So when Mitzi tried me for my second showcase, I went up and I did my set.
I had a good set.
But the Todd was laughing hard.
He sat down next to Mitzi and he's like, ah!
And Mitzi's like, he's funny.
And Todd was like, that guy's fucking funny.
He's fucking funny.
And I was cool with him.
He was a very friendly guy.
ari shaffir
And he saw you doing late night spots before?
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
He saw me banging it out.
And then he came to me offstage.
He goes, I sat down next to Mitzi and I laughed really hard.
Because I came offstage and Mitzi goes, you're past.
You're going to be a paid regular.
Call in the morning.
I'll give you some sets.
And I was like, holy shit.
I'm a fucking paid regular at the store.
Granted, I'm on a television show at the time, right?
ari shaffir
That's a lot of importance.
joe rogan
I didn't give a fuck about that TV show.
Yeah, the TV show was terrible.
It was a baseball show called Hardball.
It was terrible.
And it could have been good, too.
I watched...
The guys who wrote The Simpsons wrote it.
They wrote Unmarried with Children.
Really good writers.
And Jeff Martin and Kevin Curran.
They're really funny, really talented, really smart guys.
And Fox just fucking brutalized their show.
Brutalized it.
And they brought in all the hacks and they chopped it up.
So I was in hell doing this terrible sitcom.
You know, I'm making good money, though.
bert kreischer
Where are we living?
joe rogan
Oakwood's Apartments.
Of course you were.
tom segura
That's like the pilot place to live, right?
joe rogan
I think by then I might have gotten an apartment in North Hollywood.
I got an apartment in North Hollywood a few months in because I figured it was going to stick around for a while.
And then she gave me the thing and Todd pulled me aside and he goes, hey.
He goes, I sat down next to Mitzi and I laughed really hard.
And he goes, that's how you get someone passed.
And he goes, one day you're going to do that for people too.
I'm like, okay.
ari shaffir
You did it for Chris McGuire.
joe rogan
Dude, I fucking hosted it for Chris McGuire.
Because this terrible comedian was supposed to do the hosting gig.
He was supposed to host Open Mic Night.
And I found out McGuire was going to do his showcase.
Missy thought it was funny to put this terrible comedian up and have him host.
I mean, he was impossibly bad.
ari shaffir
I like how you're intentionally not saying his name.
joe rogan
Yes, I'm not saying his name.
So, I thank you very much.
unidentified
Do I know him?
joe rogan
No, you definitely don't.
So I called up, and this is when I was on news radio.
I called up and I said, hey, I go, fuck this.
I go, I'm going to host open mic night.
So I came down and hosted open mic night just for McGuire.
But I did that for a bunch of people.
I sat down next to Mitzi while people were showcasing, funny people, and I just laughed.
Just laugh hard, clap.
tom segura
And it would influence her.
ari shaffir
It influences everybody.
Having a good room makes everybody...
I've seen a billion shows.
Still, if somebody's doing well, I can't see through, or not doing well, I'm like, that guy's bad.
joe rogan
I'm pretty sure I did that for Diaz.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah?
joe rogan
I did it for so many people.
Look, man, I was so thankful.
And then one day, I didn't see him for a long time.
The Todd?
Yeah, I didn't see him for a long time.
tom segura
He went by The Todd?
joe rogan
Yeah, The Todd.
He used to open for Paul.
He was one of Paulie's buddies.
bert kreischer
Any relation, do you think, to the Charlie's Angel name of fucking, what's his name's character in that?
joe rogan
Todd Lemish, it says.
That's his name.
There it is.
ari shaffir
What is this?
joe rogan
That's an old lineup for 1986. An article from BuzzFeed about the...
ari shaffir
Let me see the lineup.
unidentified
Go back down.
joe rogan
Wow, look at that.
ari shaffir
Tamayo.
joe rogan
Jimmy Schubert.
ari shaffir
I think these people left in the house.
Nancy Redman.
joe rogan
I remember Nancy Redman.
I used to do sets with her in New York.
ari shaffir
Bobby Luddington.
joe rogan
Steve Kravitz.
I knew him, too.
Mark Maron.
unidentified
Look at that, 87. Was Brett Ratner that's the Brett Ratner?
No.
No.
Are you sure?
joe rogan
Maybe.
It might have been.
ari shaffir
No, Maron was there for a short time.
Then he went to New York.
joe rogan
No, he went to Boston.
ari shaffir
And he was obsessed with the comedy story.
He wrote Jerusalem Syndrome about being there.
And then when he came back, he was all shell-shocked.
tom segura
Well, in 94, is it Robert Downey Jr.?
Unless it says it's unconfirmed.
joe rogan
Oh.
Oh, okay.
So in 87, when Maren was there, I met him right after that in 88. Maren?
Because he moved to Boston.
So he was doing sets in Boston.
Maren gave me one of the nicest pieces of advice and compliments that anybody ever gave me when I was an open mic.
unidentified
Invest in Bitcoin.
joe rogan
He didn't say that.
tom segura
Wait, what was the other one?
joe rogan
He just told me to keep going that I was funny.
He said, you can do this, man.
You're really original.
You got a great voice.
ari shaffir
You used to hang out when I was an employee.
Every once in a while, you would hang out and just watch the employee section.
And I didn't realize it.
It makes me think now how it's important.
Just that it was a paid regular.
And a guy on a sitcom that would just sit and watch us.
Cool.
unidentified
Cool.
joe rogan
I like comedy, man.
I like supporting comedians.
I've always liked supporting comedians.
From my martial arts background, camaraderie and the whole team and helping everybody, having a good group, I always knew the value in that.
It's very important to have a good community.
bert kreischer
Now, can you watch comedy online, like on Instagram?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, I watch good clips.
unidentified
I lost it.
joe rogan
The Todd thing, let me get back to that.
So what happened was one day I got there, and I hadn't seen him for a long time.
I forget how long, but it was a long time.
And he was hanging out in the front patio, but he was weird.
He was just really weird.
And I don't remember who told me.
And they said, yeah, he lost his mind.
And something happened.
I think he maybe even had an operation.
Something was really wrong, and he was just hanging around, almost like trying to remember.
He stopped doing comedy entirely.
ari shaffir
Trying to remember.
joe rogan
Yeah, trying to remember what it was like.
ari shaffir
Eleanor said he'd do this thing where he used to do this thing to fuck with the bartenders, where he'd take a glass and look at them and then chuck it in the garbage.
But he didn't remember that he had had a camaraderie with the bartender, and he would just remember that he had done that, so he would go up and take a glass and put it in the garbage.
And some new bartender was like, who is this?
What's he doing?
Right.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was real weird, man.
And it was the first time I'd ever seen anybody be fine and then be gone.
And I didn't know.
I didn't understand what happened.
But that guy, man, he did me a giant solid.
Giant solid.
I'll never forget that.
And it influenced me, too, to make sure that I passed that on.
ari shaffir
Who were the guys who did you guys, like...
unidentified
Favors.
ari shaffir
Not even like, I'm doing you a favor, but like, things like that, like you said, like, you know, what Todd did, or like, you know, just like helped you, where you're like, oh, that was a big help.
joe rogan
Just guys treating you like you belong.
ari shaffir
Treating like a human, yeah.
joe rogan
Don Herrera was a big one, man.
tom segura
Bert.
What?
No, Bert, Joe.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.

tom segura

ari shaffir
Yeah.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
That was big.
unidentified

ari shaffir
Joe, obviously.
You know, taking me on the road and shit.
bert kreischer
Jay Moore was big for us.
tom segura
Jay Moore was big for us.
bert kreischer
Jay Moore was really big for us.
It stinks that it turned out the way it did, but he was really big in, like, You know, as I always say, you learn a lot from people on both sides of the fence.
joe rogan
Good and bad.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
Like, I learned a lot about what I didn't want to do, because I'd watch Jay...
Jay's so amazingly talented.
And I'd watch him get in his way sometimes, and I'd be like, God, man, I don't want to do that.
And Tom and I would talk privately about going like, just the weirdest fucking things.
Man, he was so talented.
He was a fun hang.
tom segura
He was a fun hang.
Jay's a fun hang.
And he was really funny, man.
bert kreischer
And he was so...
You could give that guy a premise.
You could give him a premise, just the silliest thing, and he could improv it on stage.
joe rogan
You definitely had a stroke about 20 minutes ago, huh?
bert kreischer
Yeah, probably.
unidentified
I don't know.
bert kreischer
I don't know.
But yeah, no, no, no.
Jay was a big...
I mean, I can't...
I mean, I can't...
Obviously, Jay and I don't speak anymore.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was great in that fucking Jerry Maguire movie, man.
ari shaffir
Are you guys capable of, like, pushing the bad parts out yet?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
And seeing the good parts?
unidentified
Yeah, that's why I'm talking...
ari shaffir
It sounds like this is the first time...
bert kreischer
No, that's why I'm talking about it.
Like, I don't mind...
Obviously, Jay and I don't speak.
But yeah, but we both had negative experiences.
That's why we're not friends with them anymore.
But there was a lot of good things.
That's the reason I met Tom.
ari shaffir
How did you find you guys?
bert kreischer
He found Tom through his assistant, Charlie.
Yep.
tom segura
When I met you, it was at a show.
bert kreischer
Yeah, that was the best.
tom segura
I was the MC, he was the middle, Bert was the middle, and Jay was the headliner.
bert kreischer
Yeah, and immediately, within like fucking five seconds, Tom and I bonded.
Like within five fucking seconds.
I remember he walked in and the Florida State game was on.
Tom's watching the Florida State game.
And Tom's like, oh, come on.
And Jay's like, what the fuck is this?
And I go, oh, you're watching Florida State?
Because I went there.
Tom's like, yeah.
He's like, you got money on it?
And Tom's like, yeah, I got a hundred bucks on it.
And he's like, you're making fucking 50 bucks tonight as a host.
What kind of fucking idiot are you?
Walked out and I was like, look at Tom.
I go, hey, welcome to the tour, man.
tom segura
I remember being like, I so nerded out that he went to FSU. I was like, you went to FSU? He's like, yeah, I went there for like 15 years or something.
joe rogan
They wrote a book about it!
unidentified
What?
tom segura
And then I go, when?
And then he tells me, I go, oh, you guys won a national championship when you were there.
And I was like, hey, so was like, I just mentioned like a player.
I don't know, whatever.
I was like, was Derek Brooks there?
And he was like, oh, I don't know any of the players.
bert kreischer
No, no, hold on.
tom segura
I was like, what?
You don't fucking, you don't know any of the guys' names?
bert kreischer
No, I know.
I think I told you this, and this made you laugh.
I think this is what made you laugh.
Derek Brooks was a big player at Florida State, right?
Him and Warwick Dunn.
When I was in my senior year of college, I went to the gas station and they had a single, a cassette single of Brooks and Dunn.
And I went, oh wow, our two biggest players released a single.
This has got to be good, right?
I'm a big fan of hip-hop, so I bought the single of Brooks and Dunn.
I realized it's a country western band.
They weren't big yet, and I put it in, and it was country music.
unidentified
And I went, so Derrick Brooks and Warwick Dunn made a country album.
bert kreischer
That's interesting.
And I listened to the whole fucking thing.
The whole thing?
I was like, one song, I was like, this is not bad.
I'm a fan of the guys.
I'm a fan of the...
Yeah, I'm in.
I'm in.

ari shaffir
Did you go?
tom segura
Did I go?

He was gorgeous back then.
ari shaffir
You dropped out.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
You went all the way through, and then some?
bert kreischer
Kinda.
tom segura
All the way.
bert kreischer
I had to take prison classes in New York.
joe rogan
What's that mean?
ari shaffir
What does that mean?
bert kreischer
So it was before the internet, so if you didn't finish school, you had to send in to the state of Florida and say, I want to finish college, and they'd give you the books that they give to the prisoners.
unidentified
Wow.
bert kreischer
Send them to me in New York.
I just had to read the books and write papers.
The prisoners?
joe rogan
So if you want to get a college course in prison, they send you the books and you just do the work?
bert kreischer
Basically.
ari shaffir
Just fill that shit out.
bert kreischer
What?
tom segura
Just fill it out.
bert kreischer
Just basically, I got the books and I got the tests.
And I just had to fill out the tests.
joe rogan
Do you ever wonder, like, if you were in prison, like, how much shit you'd get done?
unidentified
Do you think that?
joe rogan
Do you seem like the type of guy that would think you'd get, like, really fit?
I do.
tom segura
That's a good fantasy for me.
joe rogan
I would read books all day, and I would do sit-ups.
ari shaffir
I would lift so many bricks.
unidentified
Yes.
bert kreischer
I would think how many times...
unidentified
How many times would I walk myself into a rape?
bert kreischer
Where I'd go, like, you guys weren't gonna rape me.
They're like, well, we weren't even thinking about that, but now that you brought it up...
ari shaffir
You seem like we can.
bert kreischer
You seem pretty soft.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
They probably want to rape a hard guy, just for like, you know, so it's a real good win.
ari shaffir
A notch on the, yeah.
joe rogan
A good win, you know, if you rape like a gang leader.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, turn him.
ari shaffir
You rape like a super twink, it's like, eh, who cares?
joe rogan
He wanted it.

Yeah.
Not good.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but get like Tim Sylvia in there.
unidentified
Oh, Jesus.
joe rogan
Ray Mercer raped Tim Sylvia.
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Right?
Giant feather in his cap.
ari shaffir
Giant feather, so to speak.
joe rogan
Yeah, so to speak.
bert kreischer
Let's talk about Tom behind his back.
When you first met Tom, How quickly did you like him?
joe rogan
Instantly.
Why does he have that?
It was funny.
We were at the Celebrity Theater.
We were doing the Maxim tour.
It was John Heffron, Charlie Murphy, and me.
And every town that we went to, there would be a new guy that would open.
A local guy.
Or in Tom's case, a guy from L.A. that was somehow or another they'd signed him.
They picked him to do it.
He was really funny.
He was really funny.
And he and I got along like that.
ari shaffir
I met him when you said like, It wasn't Diaz or Duncan that week.
It was Tom Segura after that show.
And it was like, okay.
And then he was there and I was like, hey.
It was like 40 seconds of uncomfortable.
And then he was like, out of here again.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
Here's what I was going to say about.
Here's what's real important about comics.
Recognizing that the doorman and the opening acts and the middle acts will one day be your peers.
They are your peers now.
That's the store.
ari shaffir
That's the store.
There's no other club like that.
It was this direct line from brand, brand new employee to massive theater sellout, where it's like those came from there.
Bobby Lee was a door guy.
I was, well, I'm not that level.
joe rogan
You were a door guy when I met you.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
But like, there were other guys who were like, straight from there too.
So it's like, it's not like you would be a dick to them, but like, they're going to be you.
And the guys who are big were like, I was that.
joe rogan
Yes.
Yes.
Well, it's like, there's a camaraderie in the game.
ari shaffir
We're all trying to write a good dick joke.
joe rogan
Yeah, and we all support each other.
We're all fucking weirdos.
This is a rare weirdo.
There's not that many of us, man.
There's a small amount of human beings on the planet Earth that make a living telling jokes.
I mean, worldwide.
ari shaffir
I did see a picture of Tom on one of your specials early on, and he was so fat.
You were so fat.
Oh yeah, that should be noted.
bert kreischer
When he started fat shaming me, he was a 2.8.
What was your biggest thing you were?
joe rogan
That should be noticed that when he started fat shaming me, he was fatter than me.
bert kreischer
Oh, he was so much fatter than me.
ari shaffir
Yeah, he had just lost some weight.
He goes, I think I'm thinner than you now.
tom segura
And he was still 270. No, it wasn't that.
It's that when you're fat and other people get fat, like, it doesn't mean that you're not fat, but they are too.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I was 240 at the time.
tom segura
Were you 240?
bert kreischer
I was 240 when I started trying to lose weight.
joe rogan
You're always not accurate with those numbers.
bert kreischer
Joe, Joe, Joe, why do you pick up on numbers?
Just let the story go.
unidentified
Why do you work for the IRS? The numbers are big.
ari shaffir
You're about 253. Where are you at now?
Are you up or down since the last podcast?
bert kreischer
I'm way down.
I'm way down.
We have a scale.
I'm never getting on a scale in front of you.
tom segura
Get on it.
bert kreischer
Joe, Joe, Joe, I will never.
ari shaffir
I want to see where I'm at after Columbia.
bert kreischer
My special I shot, I was 220 when I shot it.
ari shaffir
Were you really?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
How'd you do that?
bert kreischer
I'm so fat in it.
You see it?
I'm so fat.
joe rogan
How'd you get down there?
tom segura
Sober October.
Dude, the funny thing is, when we started Sober October, it was this whole thing like, can you not drink for a minute?
And that was the first time.
ari shaffir
Five years ago, whatever.
joe rogan
We were trying to save your life.
bert kreischer
I think you did, maybe.
joe rogan
I don't know about that.
unidentified
By the way, I'm much better today.
bert kreischer
I did have a little bit of a stroke, right?
joe rogan
You were just drifting with the conversation.
bert kreischer
I got so into it.
joe rogan
You were trying to say that I didn't know Jenna Jameson.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
bert kreischer
Someone find that clip.
tom segura
When Jamie pulled it, this October started, do you remember where you were at the end of September?
ari shaffir
Yeah, you were just lost a bunch of weight.
tom segura
At the end of September, beginning of October?
bert kreischer
I have a fucking idea.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you had just lost a bunch of weight.
tom segura
Really?
ari shaffir
Yeah, he had just lost a bunch of weight.
Because he was like, I'm actually going strong beforehand.
bert kreischer
I was going strong into October.
I got down to 220 on my specials.
ari shaffir
Joe said, can you be down to 205 at the end of October?
joe rogan
That's nothing, man.
How'd you not make 205?
You could have got that bill.
bert kreischer
I stopped caring.
I was like, I can't.
No.
I can't have that brain set going into a special where I'm like obsessed with my weight.
I needed to work on material and I was like, I'm going to be me, I'm going to work out, I'm going to have fun.
ari shaffir
You looked as good as Jon Panette like six months before he died.
bert kreischer
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
By the way, the fact that Tom's weight This is not brought up at all.
ari shaffir
I believe Tom is fatter than Bert and has been for many months.
bert kreischer
I wish you had seen the boxes I'd given your presence in.
Tom's foot is so much smaller than your guy's.
What do you mean?
He's 5'8 tops, right?
ari shaffir
5'8?
5'8 and a half?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
5'8 and a half?
tom segura
I don't mind that because people are always pleasantly surprised when they meet me.
unidentified
You go ahead and put it out there.
Bullshit.
bert kreischer
Every time I do a meet and greet, they go...
They go, hey, Tom actually is fatter than you.
And I go, no fucking shit!
tom segura
I never hear that.
joe rogan
What size shoe do you have?
tom segura
I never hear that.
bert kreischer
What size shoe do you have?
tom segura
Ten and a half.
joe rogan
Seven?
bert kreischer
Joe's got an 11. Okay.
joe rogan
Ari's got a 12. I have a 13. You know what's annoying when you get an 11 in some shoes and it's too small?
ari shaffir
Chuck Taylor's are running different.
joe rogan
Chuck's, yeah, man.
They're like a half a size too small.
ari shaffir
Wait, Tom, how big are you now?
Let's not change the subject too much.
How big are you now, Tom?
tom segura
How much do I weigh?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
I feel like you've lost some weight since the beginning of October.
tom segura
That's probably true.
joe rogan
We have a scale.
bert kreischer
No, we're not.
ari shaffir
Let's get the scale.
Jamie, call that up.
joe rogan
Get that scale.
ari shaffir
Jamie Cole, let's go.
joe rogan
You got a scale?
ari shaffir
I'd like to see how much I weigh after Columbia.
And then if you guys want to weigh as well, that's okay.
I don't care.
Joe, would you be mannered enough to weigh yourself?
joe rogan
Hey, I'm about 205 right now.
tom segura
I have to predict what I weigh?
Predict.
I'm going to be honest with you, though.
I honestly have not been on a scale in a long time.
bert kreischer
Me?
tom segura
So I'm just saying, it'll be a total guess.
joe rogan
I get on one every morning.
I say I've got to stop eating carbs.
tom segura
It'll be a total guess.
joe rogan
I got down to 194 at one point in time.
bert kreischer
Jamie, you can put that back.
ari shaffir
Joe, you did get under obese.
And you also got under obese.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
I think I was still obese.
I think it was not...
ari shaffir
No, I did the math on both of you when you posted it.
joe rogan
I was overweight, but not obese.
ari shaffir
Right.
tom segura
What do you think you weigh, Bert?
235. You think you'll weigh that now?
bert kreischer
I would...
I would...
joe rogan
Right there, baby.
bert kreischer
If you're...
No, no, no.
ari shaffir
I'm only saying that.
unidentified
No, no, no.
Hold on.
bert kreischer
We're not weighing in.
We're not weighing in.
We're definitely not weighing in.
We're definitely not weighing in.
joe rogan
You are what you are, man.
It's just a number.
What do you give a fuck?
unidentified
Because...
joe rogan
Ari's gonna take his clothes off.
bert kreischer
Oh, I will get totally fucking nude and pissed.
joe rogan
Hey, don't say that to him.
You're gonna see his cock now.
ari shaffir
How do you say obviously in Spanish?
unidentified
Obva?
ari shaffir
Obvi?
Obvi?
How do you say obviously in Spanish?
unidentified
Obvio.
ari shaffir
Obvio.
I knew it was something close.
tom segura
What are you doing?
joe rogan
Don't take your pants off, bro.
tom segura
Don't take a piss.
Don't piss on the ground.
bert kreischer
You can put your pants back on because I'm definitely not getting on a scale.
ari shaffir
Underwear only.
joe rogan
Why are you scared of scales, Bert?
bert kreischer
Because, Joe, it's not like this hasn't defined the last four years of my life online.
ari shaffir
But you're doing well right now.
tom segura
You look great.
bert kreischer
Yeah, thanks guys.
I'd rather people think I look great than know what I wear.
ari shaffir
My target weight is 175 to 180. Interesting.
joe rogan
Target weight.
bert kreischer
That's like loose skin.
tom segura
Yeah, that's weird.
joe rogan
Remember when Ari had a six pack?
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Ari had a full six pack.
Look at that.
He's got a little bit of a six pack there.
bert kreischer
Oh, he's skinny.
joe rogan
No, he's got abs.
It's not just that he's skinny.
What do you got?
ari shaffir
Zero.
bert kreischer
It's on carpet, Ari.
ari shaffir
Big money, big money.
bert kreischer
180?
It's the carpet.
ari shaffir
It's the carpet.
tom segura
180.6.
ari shaffir
And that is with socks on.
bert kreischer
Yeah, it's the carpet.
I don't trust carpet on these scales.
joe rogan
Okay, man, you don't have to get on it.
ari shaffir
That's after two weeks in Columbia with nothing but fried food.
I'm okay with that.
joe rogan
You look good, dude.
ari shaffir
Late in the day, chicharron today for lunch, a bandita paisa.
joe rogan
One thing that I did realize when you did Sober October, when we did the fitness challenge, is that if you just went whole hog and went crazy, you'd be a beast.
ari shaffir
I ate nearly whole hog today.
joe rogan
No, but I mean, if you worked out really hard, you'd have a good body.
bert kreischer
Here's the thing that I learned in Sober October, and Tom kept having to say this to me over and over again, is that what makes Ari Ari is not going full hog.
If you go full hog, it's not Ari.
He turns in...
And the same with me.
I get obsessed with weight, and it starts to beat every one of my thoughts.
tom segura
The thing that defines you...
Oh, fuck.
The thing that defines you...
bert kreischer
Take this slow.
tom segura
No, it's not even that crazy.
It's true, and you'll know it's true.
I'm going to wait until the fourth quarter to really turn around.
ari shaffir
That's what defines you.
It's a crammer.
tom segura
And then in the fourth quarter, you'll do it...
Insane.
But there's no way you're going to be like, I'm going to study for this shit.
You're never going to prepare.
unidentified
But when you say things, when you say things, like...
ari shaffir
When you say things.
joe rogan
One of the times you said, I can do a split.
What were you thinking?
When you got down and you knew you were going to...
Did you think magically all of a sudden you would get really flexible?
ari shaffir
But the pure confidence he goes in with it.
We're thinking like, I've never done a split in my life, I know they're hard to do, and I can do it.
joe rogan
Even though I know he's a bullshitter, part of me was like, wow, Burke can do a split.
ari shaffir
Because he did a marathon!
joe rogan
He did do a marathon.
ari shaffir
With nothing!
He ran four miles in his life, and then he fucking did a marathon the next day.
joe rogan
He's running five or six on a treadmill, which is like one in real life.
tom segura
That is true.
joe rogan
You did run a marathon.
tom segura
You will say I can do that to anything.
ari shaffir
Jamie, get on the scale.
bert kreischer
I'll say I can do that to anything.
You're definitely right about that.
joe rogan
Would you wait, Jamie?
Oh, you don't have to get on it.
ari shaffir
Because it'll help everyone else get on it.
bert kreischer
But don't you feel that way?
joe rogan
What?
bert kreischer
I can do anything.
joe rogan
No.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but you can do anything.
joe rogan
No.
bert kreischer
But do you think...
ari shaffir
Great discourse.
tom segura
This is actually what defines the two of you.
Keep going.
bert kreischer
No, but I think the same fire burns for both of us, right?
joe rogan
What?
bert kreischer
You think...
ari shaffir
Yeah, but your fire is maybe carne.
bert kreischer
No, based on the thing of, like, you can do anything, right?
You go, no, I can't.
I need to work harder.
joe rogan
You have another stroke?
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
You go, no, I can't.
I need to work harder.
You go, I can't shoot a bow and arrow a perfect shot.
I want to learn that.
I want to bust my ass.
I want to do that.
I'm the opposite way where I go, just give me a shot.
ari shaffir
Let me try this right now.
joe rogan
That's unrealistic.
ari shaffir
You can surf.
tom segura
That is your guy's personality difference.
bert kreischer
Our personality difference is very different.
joe rogan
I'm very objective about what I can and can't do.
That's how you get good at things.
You have to really look at what you're good and not good at and then work really hard at getting good at things.
Otherwise, you're just bullshitting yourself.
That gets you hurt if you're a fighter.
That gets you really hurt.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but I'm not a fighter.
tom segura
It actually is really interesting to think about.
Your background is what informs that opinion you just expressed.
And his experience is that saying that sometimes works out.
bert kreischer
That's why he keeps saying it.
Didn't study in college.
Rolling Stone discovered me.
All of a sudden, I got a career.
unidentified
He's the guy who will say...
bert kreischer
It's bizarre, right?
But it worked.
Go to New York, Will Smith discovers me.
What the fuck?
Say I want to run a marathon, I do it.
You should have heard me the day I ran the marathon.
I was like, I think I can actually do anything.
tom segura
Wait, didn't you say something about kicking field goals?
bert kreischer
I think I could kick a field goal.
ari shaffir
How long could you kick a field goal?
I feel like I could kick a 35-yarder easily with no work.
bert kreischer
Thank you, Ari!
unidentified
Thank you, Ari!
ari shaffir
Remember when Scott Norwood missed a 35-yarder?
unidentified
Yes!
ari shaffir
And they lined up, and they said everybody at Washington Stadium was going to try a 35-yarder.
And people did it, people didn't do it.
I could easily kick a 35-yarder.
bert kreischer
Thank you, Ari!
Thank you, Ari!
joe rogan
I wonder how far you could actually cook a football if you've never kicked a football before.
ari shaffir
35 yards.
bert kreischer
You have what they call explosivity.
So you could kick it a lot farther.
That's what Pat McAfee phrased.
You could kick it a lot farther than I could.
I've never kicked anything personally.
joe rogan
Well, I've kicked things my whole life.
That's why I'm wondering how far I could kick a football.
tom segura
Well, man.
ari shaffir
Because I could kick it straight, too.
joe rogan
Because I could roundhouse kick shit pretty fucking hard.
tom segura
That's interesting, actually.
I bet.
ari shaffir
You would have to take five tries to learn how to kick it straight, and then once you did that, you could go far.
tom segura
The power would be nuts.
bert kreischer
Now, the thing about a field goal isn't necessarily the kicking, it's the mindset.
Could you roll in?
No, no, no.
Can you roll into the moment under pressure and perform?
joe rogan
That's not hard.
tom segura
But that's in the game.
bert kreischer
No, that's what a field goal is.
joe rogan
So in a game, you've got guys running.
tom segura
Yeah, but in a practice, let's say someone's holding it for you, right?
Or it's on one of those tees, like propped up, and you're just going through the execution of kicking a field goal.
bert kreischer
But hold on, that's not a field goal.
This is my point.
tom segura
What do you mean it's not a field goal?
bert kreischer
So what they're doing to college kids now is saying, you want a scholarship?
One shot.
51 yards.
Can you make this?
You get a scholarship.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you practice for it.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
ari shaffir
No, they're not doing that.
bert kreischer
They are 100% doing that.
ari shaffir
They're not lining up a guy going, one shot, 51 yards, you can get a scholarship.
unidentified
Please Google that, Jamie.
bert kreischer
Please Google that, Jamie.
ari shaffir
What colleges?
unidentified
What are you talking about?
bert kreischer
Jamie, please Google that.
Please Google that.
unidentified
I have to say, that sounds ridiculous.
bert kreischer
Jamie, please Google that.
joe rogan
It's college.
It's college.
ari shaffir
Fucking 50,000 a year.
bert kreischer
It's 100% happening.
It's 100% happening.
joe rogan
50,000, $60,000 a year.
They're like, hey, we'll give it to you.
bert kreischer
Jamie, pull it up, please.
Just kick that ball once.
joe rogan
You were trying to get those guys on the scale.
ari shaffir
What?
Let's go.
bert kreischer
Let's see it.
No, no, no, no.
Let's get this field goal thing out first.
So they are doing that for kids to get a scholarship because they're thinking, fuck, we need you in a pressure moment.
No bigger moment than you winning your scholarship.
tom segura
They've done this for real?
bert kreischer
100%.
I saw it online.
I was like, shut the fuck up.
Kid made it.
Kid made a field goal.
ari shaffir
51 yards?
bert kreischer
I say numbers.
What are you worried about numbers?
tom segura
Yeah, there you go.
joe rogan
51 yards is really far.
bert kreischer
That's a legit field goal.
But I'm telling you, it's not a fucking chip-in that the kid's doing to get a scholarship.
They do it and say, you want your fucking scholarship?
Hit a field goal.
I definitely saw it online.
I know it's a real thing.
But my point is...
You don't have a point.
ari shaffir
Jamie has not looked that up yet, by the way.
He's the master of looking things up.
bert kreischer
Hey Siri, look up 51...
No, fuck it.
ari shaffir
Hey Siri, go through stroke analysis.
tom segura
Jamie, is that an even there for real?
joe rogan
Planet 51. This is 51 planets.
jamie vernon
There's a guy in Nevada that gave a scholarship after he hit the game winning.
tom segura
He was already on the team.
bert kreischer
There was a guy, I'm telling you.
tom segura
A little different story.
ari shaffir
A little different.
joe rogan
Slightly different.
bert kreischer
I wish this still was live.
This podcast was live.
It's totally live.
That's true.
ari shaffir
It's being broadcast live right now.
joe rogan
Here we go.
unidentified
Here's a video of it.
jamie vernon
Coach offers scholarship if kicker hits 53-yard field goal.
bert kreischer
But this is one video.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he's a player.
They're offering him scholarship if he can do it.
bert kreischer
That's how that works.
joe rogan
Walk on kicker.
And Offrey couldn't refuse.
tom segura
But that's not a student, right?
unidentified
He's the walk-off kid.
bert kreischer
Oh, no, they didn't like that.
ari shaffir
That's close.
I'll give Bert that.
bert kreischer
This is closer than what we were talking about.
joe rogan
So they give this guy a shot.
Here it is.
bert kreischer
Everyone's around him.
joe rogan
Let's watch this.
Let's watch this.
Here we go.
unidentified
Boom!
bert kreischer
And he gets his fucking scholarship.
joe rogan
Damn!
bert kreischer
Is that kind of what I said, off by two yards?
ari shaffir
No, I'll give it to you.
joe rogan
Thank you, Ari.
No, that is it.
ari shaffir
It's actually harder than what you said.
bert kreischer
Yeah, it actually is.
joe rogan
53-yard field goal.
bert kreischer
Kid just got a scholarship.
joe rogan
Damn, that's amazing.
ari shaffir
He just saved his parents a lot of money.
joe rogan
So, here's the thing, though.
They're not doing that.
They did that.
They're not doing that for anybody who can kick a 53-year-old.
ari shaffir
I'll also give that to Joe.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Okay.
joe rogan
You just phrased it, but you were right.
They did do it.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
They did it once, but it's not something they do.
joe rogan
Get on the scale, bro.
tom segura
You did it.
ari shaffir
Get on the scale.
unidentified
Get on the scale.
bert kreischer
Fucking no way.
ari shaffir
Let's go!
tom segura
Hey, this is a October wrap-up.
ari shaffir
Let's see what you're at.
tom segura
I was trying to say this earlier.
joe rogan
Guys, where are you going to piss?
tom segura
I remember doing a podcast with you.
ari shaffir
Piss and then weigh in, Joe.
tom segura
I did a podcast with you at the end of September, beginning of October, and you looked like a fucking junkie.
Like, on the streets.
ari shaffir
That's a podcast you go to?
The Two Fat Cows podcast?
unidentified
Yes!
bert kreischer
Wait, I'm sorry, what's the name of our podcast?
ari shaffir
Two Fat Cows.
It's regular cows, but fatter.
unidentified
Two cows, one barn!
tom segura
Two fat fucks.
But at the end of...
unidentified
One barn!
Dude, at the end of October...
tom segura
He looked transformed.
He looked transformed.
ari shaffir
Yeah, at the end of October.
unidentified
Yes!
tom segura
It was one month.
unidentified
One month.
tom segura
He looked, for everybody, he looked dramatically different.
ari shaffir
Blurp, what are you wearing right now?
What are you wearing?
unidentified
I weighed the other day, it was 232. What do you weigh?
tom segura
Between 235 and 238. For what?
We're telling you the right numbers.
ari shaffir
Tell us if those are the right numbers or not.
tom segura
Let me see something.
unidentified
Just wear your foot.
ari shaffir
Just wear your foot right now.
tom segura
Hold on, I'll tell you.
This thing's fucked.
bert kreischer
Do you want to do a trust way?
How about this?
How about this?
ari shaffir
By the way, I had a fourth show for my special, February 7th, fourth show, 10 o'clock show.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to do plugs while he's gone.
ari shaffir
Yeah, while he's gone quickly.
Spokane, New Orleans, Atlanta, Hawaii, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Portland, Maine.
This is the rounding out the Jew tour.
bert kreischer
Fuck.
Where are my tickets?
How about this?
You ready for this?
What if Tom and I weigh in together?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
And weigh under 7,000?
bert kreischer
How about this?
If Tom and I weigh under 500 pounds.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
You have to weigh under 500 pounds.
It's 250 each.
unidentified
No, you don't weigh under 500. We would definitely weigh under 500 pounds.
tom segura
We weigh under 500. Yeah, no, for sure.
bert kreischer
Full clothes on?
Not peeing?
That's what I'm talking about.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm saying 498?
ari shaffir
No, you have to weigh under 450. Yeah, we weigh over 450. Over 450 together?
tom segura
Well, yeah, that'd be 225 each.
ari shaffir
And you don't?
tom segura
We definitely weigh over that.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
475?
bert kreischer
Pretty poor water.
ari shaffir
475. Pretty poor water.
bert kreischer
You weighing in?
ari shaffir
Yeah, he's weighing in.
bert kreischer
Joe, what do you think Tom and I weigh in together?
Him on my back.
ari shaffir
1,000 pounds.
I said 7,000, but it might be 1,000.
bert kreischer
How do you still have those tits?
ari shaffir
Jesus, Joe.
You look like the dude from fucking Guardians of the Galaxy.
joe rogan
I work out.
unidentified
I work out.
ari shaffir
You wear the underwear for a guy who works out.
tom segura
Oh, you gotta get off first.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you gotta get off first, idiot.
Stupid idiot, you don't know how to wear yourself.
bert kreischer
Look at your core.
ari shaffir
What is it?
bert kreischer
205. And what did you say you normally weigh?
joe rogan
205. I'd say I'm 205 right now because I've been eating a lot of carbs.
bert kreischer
Wow.
That's 100% accurate.
ari shaffir
Because he's been eating.
bert kreischer
How come you don't have any chest tattoos?
joe rogan
This is getting really gay.
ari shaffir
You should get a tattoo right down the middle of your tits that says, like, on it.
bert kreischer
Is this the best shape you've ever been in?
ari shaffir
No, he's bad.
He's been eating carbs.
unidentified
No, no, no.
bert kreischer
I meant, like, as a grown-up, this time period?
joe rogan
No, I'm 10 pounds overweight right now.
bert kreischer
So you think you were in better shape when you were younger?
joe rogan
Oh, 100%.
ari shaffir
No, you should see the fucking Joe Rogan headshot on the Comedy Store wall.
He's a 140-pound weakling.
bert kreischer
How much did you weigh when you got into comedy?
ari shaffir
Joe, 205 exactly?
joe rogan
205, exactly.
bert kreischer
I'm gonna go piss.
unidentified
But I'm supposed to be like 195. From 195. What'd you get down to in October?
ari shaffir
You posted something.
joe rogan
What?
ari shaffir
194. 194. I was pretty sure.
tom segura
Still birthed at Tom Wade at like 2.30.
Oh yeah, just for the bit.
I'll do it again, but just tell him.
ari shaffir
What is believable that we could put you in at?
tom segura
Just say 2.32.
ari shaffir
Not 2.28?
tom segura
Nah, nah, nah.
ari shaffir
Who wouldn't believe that?
joe rogan
Here's what we do.
You climb on, I'm going to get right behind you like I'm trying to make sure that you weigh in and you just lean on me.
ari shaffir
That's how, what's his name, did it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
What's his name?
joe rogan
Calvin Gaslam did that.
ari shaffir
No, no, no, the black guy.
joe rogan
No, Calvin did that.
ari shaffir
The black guy who lost the fucking talent.
joe rogan
Daniel Cormier.
ari shaffir
Daniel Cormier.
joe rogan
But no, Calvin leaned on his manager's shoulder.
Yeah, look.
ari shaffir
Do it, do it, do it.
Train, train, train, train, train, train, train.
Train and cheating.
Train and cheating.
unidentified
Just quick, quick, quick, quick.
Quick, quick.
joe rogan
Now climb on.
Put your shoulder.
ari shaffir
What is it?
unidentified
Still going.
ari shaffir
Because it's not really because you're going to rest steady.
tom segura
Oh, it's an error.
joe rogan
Because it's very...
ari shaffir
Yeah, you've got to, like, rest steady.
joe rogan
Okay, we've got to do this right.
ari shaffir
Make your shoulder hard.
Hard.
unidentified
Try the chair.
ari shaffir
Okay, he's back.
unidentified
He's back.
ari shaffir
He's back.
No, I think he's one of the best guys I've ever met.
bert kreischer
237. 237?
joe rogan
Yes.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
ari shaffir
Okay, get the hat off.
How much are you carrying?
bert kreischer
Just one handful of cocks.
ari shaffir
What's in between the fat fold and the unfold?
unidentified
Tom, immediately out.
joe rogan
Let it zero out.
unidentified
Okay, go ahead.
What's it at?
joe rogan
237. It's the same weight!
ari shaffir
It's the same weight!
237?
unidentified
Both play football!
bert kreischer
We lost talent!
tom segura
Wait a minute, though.
ari shaffir
Wait, but you are fully clothed.
unidentified
I'm fully clothed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
Same thing, same thing, same thing.
It's a sweatsuit.
joe rogan
Well, hey, guys.
It is what it is.
tom segura
Oh, shit.
These are great pictures.
This is great for your premiere date.
ari shaffir
When is that date?
bert kreischer
I can't say it.
ari shaffir
Tom, when's yours?
tom segura
It's right near then.
joe rogan
So, are you guys trying to do something?
Are you trying to do a weight loss challenge?
Is that what I smell?
tom segura
We should.
bert kreischer
Yeah, let's do it.
ari shaffir
Wait, what?
unidentified
I'm in.
bert kreischer
I'm fucking totally in.
ari shaffir
Can you bring up a BMI just on your computer?
joe rogan
Thank you.
bert kreischer
I'm totally in.
joe rogan
That BMI thing is all horseshit.
ari shaffir
No, Joe, it's horseshit for you.
Because of muscle.
unidentified
Can we agree that that's not their problem?
joe rogan
It's a different problem.
bert kreischer
Bro, there's a lot of leg muscle in me.
unidentified
For sure.
bert kreischer
Hot spin, bro.
Hot spin.
unidentified
Okay.
ari shaffir
What can be a weight house challenge for you?
This is how this all started.
I had Tom on my podcast, and then Bert went on and said, Tom's losing weight, and you go, no way.
I can lose more weight than him.
tom segura
That's true.
bert kreischer
Oh, is that how it started?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
You were at my old, old apartment.
Tom I interviewed at his hotel room.
He had just passed you, and you were like, let's see what we can get down to.
bert kreischer
I could definitely get into a weight loss challenge now.
I got nothing on the books but a tour.
ari shaffir
205, I think, is a real number.
joe rogan
If you do 205, you can get the belt.
You can still have the belt.
Both of you.
ari shaffir
First one to 205. Look at that.
How about not even a specific time period?
bert kreischer
First one to 205. Tom's got nothing, except for Australia's going to be rough.
ari shaffir
No, but he's not really a drinker.
bert kreischer
No, just kangaroos.
joe rogan
Kangaroos?
unidentified
Eating it?
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Tom can't say no to anything.
joe rogan
Australia.
Australian food's not that fat.
They're very healthy over there.
Meat pies?
ari shaffir
Meat pies.
unidentified
Two of five.
joe rogan
Are you doing Melbourne?
tom segura
I am.
joe rogan
Great restaurants in Melbourne.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Wait, wait.
unidentified
Great coffee, too.
tom segura
What's a legit coffee place?
ari shaffir
Bring up a BMI. I'm going to go over that.
bert kreischer
I'll tell you what, man.
joe rogan
BMI is, I'm obese right now.
ari shaffir
Joe, we understand that the muscle goes on the outlier.
joe rogan
I know, but I'm just saying, just numbers-wise, I'm obese, and then when I got to 195, I was just overweight.
Just made the cut.
I think 195 is like the borderline of obese.
I got to 194, so that's overweight.
ari shaffir
Okay.
What would you guys be?
Burt, you're 6'1", 6'2"?
bert kreischer
6'1".
ari shaffir
6'1".
Tom, you're 4'8".
unidentified
Don't forget, Tom's a great one.
ari shaffir
You're Peruvian or Argentinian?
tom segura
Peruvian.
ari shaffir
Peruvian.
I always thought...
Do you have the attitude of an Argentinian?
tom segura
The aloofness and the kind of...
ari shaffir
Better than thou?
tom segura
Yeah, that's Argentinian.
ari shaffir
Okay, five...
joe rogan
No, that's it, right there.
ari shaffir
Five, ten...
You're 5'11", right?
For real?
tom segura
Six.
Come on, man.
unidentified
No, it's not.
bert kreischer
You know what?
Let's just, to be fair, call us both six.
Just because I'll give him an inch.
joe rogan
Wow, I'm extremely.
tom segura
I need an inch.
ari shaffir
6'1", 5'11".
tom segura
No, it's not.
ari shaffir
5'11 and a half?
You're not six feet.
tom segura
Yeah, six feet.
joe rogan
Does it say extremely obese or just obese?
I'm just obese.
unidentified
There's a white thing.
ari shaffir
What am I? 6'3"?
joe rogan
You're healthy as fuck!
You're healthy as fuck, Ari.
ari shaffir
Where's the weight part?
jamie vernon
This one ends at 215. Oh my god!
joe rogan
It ends at 215. You guys are doing that for that chart.
ari shaffir
1-8.
1-8.
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
Okay, there we go.
tom segura
Extreme levels.
ari shaffir
6-3.
Okay, definitely take that off.
joe rogan
We should do a bodybuilding challenge.
6. Do you really want to do that?
bert kreischer
Nope.
joe rogan
You can get hurt.
We were talking about doing a power weight lifting challenge.
Remember that?
Who can go from what you can do now to the most weight?
Who can add on the most weight?
That's a great way to get hurt.
ari shaffir
Let's do that.
bert kreischer
No.
joe rogan
You could get really fucked up, man.
ari shaffir
Let's get really hurt.
bert kreischer
No, I'm up for...
I'm always up for weight loss challenge.
The reason...
What happened with me with 205, not that I could have gotten there.
I'm not going to say I could have gotten there during Sober October.
joe rogan
You had a stroke.
bert kreischer
I become obsessive-compulsive about it, and I can't focus...
ari shaffir
On what you have to do.
You had to do a special.
bert kreischer
You had to do a special, so I was like, I got to disconnect.
ari shaffir
When you got a special, it's like all hands on deck.
bert kreischer
I got nothing on the books other than the Birdie World World Tour.
ari shaffir
What...
joe rogan
Bertie Bertworth, does that start soon?
bert kreischer
January 30th in Vermont, Burlington.
First time there.
joe rogan
How do you get tickets for this?
bert kreischer
Go to BertBertBert.com.
unidentified
Thanks, Joe.
tom segura
Second show's added.
unidentified
Second show's added.
bert kreischer
I could get into a weight loss challenge.
I could really get into a weight loss challenge.
joe rogan
Do you think you'd get shredded?
Do you get down like 205?
bert kreischer
I wish I had weighed myself at other times.
ari shaffir
I've got an idea.
I've got an idea.
I record my spells for February 7th and 8th.
I will, at the end of that special, start gaining weight.
unidentified
First one to pass me wins.
I love this idea.
I will eat for real for real.
joe rogan
What?!
186. Damn, look how slim you are.
bert kreischer
That's when I met my wife.
joe rogan
Damn, you got those fuck handles?
ari shaffir
She signed on for a raw deal.
bert kreischer
Yeah, no, it's got a penny stock.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
I will gain weight.
bert kreischer
Wait, whoa, whoa.
Google Skinny Tom Segura.
Have you ever seen Tom's jawline?
He looks like fucking Magnum P.I. when he was skinny.
ari shaffir
Seventh grade?
bert kreischer
Bro, I'm telling you right now, a very, very attractive man.
joe rogan
I believe you.
bert kreischer
Find Skinny Tommy.
Where can we find that pic?
You know you know where you can find that.
ari shaffir
And then Google Fat.
bert kreischer
Look at this fucking guy.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
bert kreischer
Look at his pouty lips.
joe rogan
Look at you.
ari shaffir
Wow.
bert kreischer
I might have gotten a scar and a pus.
tom segura
You like that, Ari.
Come on.
ari shaffir
I'm standing up like a masturbator.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You look good.
ari shaffir
I only masturbate standing up.
joe rogan
You're good back then.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Who's that guy on the left pretending to be you?
Look at that.
tom segura
Who's that fucking guy?
joe rogan
Who's that fucking guy?
That's a fake you.
Oh, he's got your t-shirt.
tom segura
That's not my t-shirt.
bert kreischer
By the way, how great is that title for an album?
tom segura
What is that t-shirt?
No idea.
joe rogan
That title was great.
I remember that CD. Thrilled was back in the early 2000s, right?
tom segura
2010. Oh, shit.
Yeah.
unidentified
20 times.
joe rogan
Look at you.
Look at you.
bert kreischer
That's a good looking Tom right there.
That's the one I fell in love with.
joe rogan
Yeah, look at that sweetie.
tom segura
I remember exactly when that was.
joe rogan
When was that?
tom segura
That was on Russell Peters' show on Showtime.
bert kreischer
You got a fat dimple on your chin, on your cheek.
joe rogan
2009. The thing about weight loss is if you guys just do the weight loss thing and just get down and wait for a day or a couple days, that doesn't help anybody.
tom segura
It doesn't.
bert kreischer
No.
joe rogan
What if you could keep it off?
tom segura
That's the key.
joe rogan
Could you keep it off?
What is your thing?
What keeps you eating?
What's your vice?
For me, it's pasta.
It's carbs.
When I eat a lot of carbs, it's just like, fuck, I can't help myself sometimes.
tom segura
Yeah, I would say it's probably carb-related.
Like, I like rice, bread.
joe rogan
Pasta.
tom segura
Pasta, yeah.
joe rogan
I love it.
tom segura
I mean, I'm not a crazy sweet tooth.
joe rogan
I'm a glutton, too.
I eat and I'm stuffed and I just keep eating.
tom segura
I don't really do that as much anymore.
I used to do that all the time.
I used to think that's how meals were completed.
Like, every meal.
But that's, I would say, at my worst.
But I don't think I really eat like that most of the time now.
But I don't, you know...
I'm not like...
Weighing out everything as much as I should, you know.
joe rogan
So you could just cut back your portions.
tom segura
I could, yeah.
joe rogan
And you'd probably still be fine.
You probably wouldn't feel like you're denying yourself anything.
tom segura
Yeah, I think so.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's how I always feel.
tom segura
I always feel like, too, like I'll get on a good meal plan and it's just about the discipline of sticking to it and then, you know, start doing it less.
joe rogan
What are you doing now?
Are you going to go with your clothes on?
How much did you pee?
unidentified
With your clothes on.
Wow.
bert kreischer
Yeah, you're...
I understand my problem with weight loss.
I don't understand yours.
joe rogan
Yours is booze.
bert kreischer
Yeah, mine's booze.
ari shaffir
Yours is booze, obviously.
joe rogan
Yours is not a booze thing, right?
tom segura
No, it's not.
bert kreischer
But it's more than booze.
It's the things that booze invites into my life after midnight.
joe rogan
Late night food is rough.
ari shaffir
But also, the empty calories of booze.
bert kreischer
Empty calories of booze is what it is.
ari shaffir
Seven calories per gram.
tom segura
Dude, you lost like fucking 30 pounds by not drinking.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
What is yours?
tom segura
Yeah, it's food.
joe rogan
Yeah, so if you lost 30 pounds from not drinking, you'd be 207. You're on 205's door.
You're just knocking at it.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but I don't know what Tom...
Because Tom does not...
We've had dinner a bunch of times.
It's not like he's a gluttonous eater.
ari shaffir
I bet you have had dinner a bunch of times.
Tonight.
bert kreischer
I ate with Ralphie, man, and he would fucking...
He would, like, jaw-drop you on food.
ari shaffir
It was crazy!
It was crazy!
We went to Katana once, and he ordered, like, everything, and then it was like, oh, that's great, we're all gonna eat.
He goes, no, no, that's my order.
Now you guys put in your order.
tom segura
Dude, that's my...
The Burt's sushi experience with Ralphie is my favorite story.
unidentified
Because of the whole thing, is that...
tom segura
Bert is like, you're an opening act at the time.
bert kreischer
Yeah, it was opening for him.
tom segura
And Ralphie is inviting Bert and his wife, or Leanne, or Ralphie's wife.
They're all having dinner.
Ralphie's paying all the time.
bert kreischer
Like four meals, four meals.
tom segura
And they're in Hawaii.
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no.
tom segura
Oh, sorry, Bahamas.
bert kreischer
Bahamas, yeah.
tom segura
And then for the next night, Bert's like, I'm going to cover.
Like a respectful thing, you know?
You've bought all these dinners.
I'm taking you to dinner tonight.
And they go to sushi.
ari shaffir
It's like Ralphie.
tom segura
And Ralphie starts ordering, and they're bringing boats out.
Like the boats with all the sushi.
joe rogan
And you guys are jumping in, and you don't realize it's all for him?
tom segura
Well, he's just ordering.
bert kreischer
He's just ordering.
And I know I'm paying for it, but he's just ordering.
He's like, I got this player.
And I was like, alright, cool.
And he just kept ordering and ordering.
And I'm eating and I'm drinking.
And then, keep going.
I like you telling the story better than me.
tom segura
It makes me laugh because...
unidentified
Ralphie had treated you guys to, like, four meals.
tom segura
And then you're just like...
I pull the waitress aside.
I've been in this position before, too, where somebody's like, you know, you want to be like, you know what?
Like, I'm a fucking man, and I'm gonna buy dinner.
Now, tonight's my night.
But you're not in a position to take this bill.
So, like, they bring the bill, and it's a fucking four-figure bill.
This is over a thousand dollar sushi experience.
And then you insist on paying, and Leanne...
bert kreischer
Leanne goes, how much is it?
They go, go fuck yourself.
That's how much it is.
And she goes, you don't talk to me like that.
And they go, go fuck yourself again.
Don't talk to me.
And Ravi goes, oh, playa.
You should have just let me pay it for, playa.
And she goes, why are you talking to me like this?
And I'm looking at like a fucking $1,500 bill, I think it was $1,200 or $1,500.
I didn't have the money in the bank account to pay for the tip.
tom segura
But it's like that, because I fucking...
I think why the story always hits me is because I feel myself doing the same...
I would do the same thing.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
I would do the same thing.
bert kreischer
Ralphie was so generous.
Like, he just was so generous that...
I don't want you to think I'm taking advantage of you.
I want you to know that I'm your friend and I want to pay for things too.
Motherfucker.
So what happened?
Ralphie goes, Leanne's irate at me.
Storms off.
Ralphie goes, I'll play her.
We got to win it back on blackjack.
Took $1,000 out, maybe $2,000 out of the bank machine.
Go to roulette.
Put it on black.
Hits red.
All I remember is we were the couple in the lobby fighting.
Like, it was so bad.
ari shaffir
You can't even, like, save for the hotel room.
bert kreischer
And Ralphie walked past me, and it was not a drop in the bucket.
Ralphie would lose $2,000, and he just saw me fighting with Leanne.
unidentified
He goes, oh, Miss Leanne, give him a break.
bert kreischer
He tried his best.
He tried his best.
I'll see you on the plane, playboy.
And then Ralphie was on the plane.
You know, my whole part of the story that I remember the most?
Ralphie read a book on a flight from Miami to L.A. He read the whole fucking book.
I've never read a fucking book in five hours.
He was like a really, like he read a book.
I remember sitting next to him, he read a book.
That's the crazy part of the story I remember.
ari shaffir
He was very generous.
joe rogan
And you were broke?
bert kreischer
Yeah, we were broke, man.
tom segura
That's Burt.
That's Burt.
bert kreischer
I like to roll the dice.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
You don't become a comedian if you don't like rolling the dice, man.
I don't think so.
ari shaffir
You gotta be crazy.
You're a comic.
tom segura
You gotta be crazy.
joe rogan
You have to be.
bert kreischer
You have to be a little crazy.
And if you're not crazy, I don't know if I want to know you.
Meaning like...
ari shaffir
Speaking of books, did you guys read any during the Sober October?
bert kreischer
Oh, dude, so many good books.
ari shaffir
You didn't do any of that, did you?
bert kreischer
Dude, I fucking read like five.
ari shaffir
You didn't do it.
unidentified
I did.
tom segura
I did.
unidentified
You did it?
tom segura
I started reading three books.
ari shaffir
Okay.
joe rogan
I went all audio.
I started reading, and I'm like, I don't have time for this.
It's never going to happen.
And then I said, whatever it is, I'm going to have to pay a fine.
ari shaffir
500, I realized immediately was like, oh, this isn't just like, okay, and also read 500 pages.
That number should have been 200. Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
No, it should have been 500. We should have had a penalty if you didn't do it.
ari shaffir
That should have been the whole thing, is 500 pages.
joe rogan
If we had a penalty.
I was thinking to myself, I just don't have the fucking time.
ari shaffir
You have to really commit to reading books.
I had to really work hard.
I think I'm the only one who did it.
tom segura
You did it?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
You did it?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
But my classes weren't like, I didn't make fucking, you know, fucking...
Con's Film Festival classes.
bert kreischer
Bro, the classes were the best thing about Sober October.
joe rogan
The fucking gun shooting was the fun as shit.
unidentified
Taron.
joe rogan
Taron Tactical?
tom segura
Taron Tactical, man.
joe rogan
That was awesome.
tom segura
That dude's awesome.
joe rogan
That was really fun.
Yeah, that whole setup is amazing.
Like, learning how to really shoot correctly.
ari shaffir
That looked cool.
joe rogan
That was really great.
How long are you in town for?
ari shaffir
The night.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
tom segura
Do you leave tomorrow?
joe rogan
When are you back?
ari shaffir
I don't know.
joe rogan
Why don't you jet set back and forth like a fucking international man of mystery that you are?
ari shaffir
I'm going to come more often.
I do want to do your Spanish podcast, Tom.
joe rogan
Bang, bang.
ari shaffir
I want to try to get by on that.
I'm going to try it four or five times a year.
joe rogan
We're shooting bang, bang, bang, bang.
ari shaffir
It looks cool as shit.
joe rogan
It's fun, man.
tom segura
It was funny shit.
joe rogan
Was it really?
unidentified
It was really funny shit.
joe rogan
It's really fun.
Bang, bang.
Bang, bang.
ari shaffir
They didn't hit you with anything like a child crossing the street kind of thing?
Jesus Christ.
You had to hit everything.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, it's all metal.
You're just shooting at metal.
tom segura
Taren's so sick, man.
ari shaffir
I'm not saying that.
I'm saying like in Please Academy, there were these things like, don't shoot that, do shoot this.
joe rogan
Something would pop up, but that's advanced stuff, man.
We're babies.
tom segura
It's really cool.
ari shaffir
It looked cool.
tom segura
That place almost burned down.
joe rogan
I know.
It got real close.
tom segura
Real close.
joe rogan
The fire got right up at the doorway there.
tom segura
Yeah, but that place is...
That's an experience, man.
You should do it.
That is really cool.
ari shaffir
That's one of those...
unidentified
Bert did it.
ari shaffir
There's a few times where I wish...
You loved it, right?
I wish I still lived in LA when you guys were doing fun shit like that.
I'm like, ah, I wish I was there.
joe rogan
You should have a place out here, man.
You should do both.
ari shaffir
It's not a question of place.
It's on the road and also...
unidentified
Come on.
ari shaffir
Tons of stand-up spots.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but you know what?
You come out with us, Ari.
joe rogan
Bro, you can have tons of stand-up spots out here.
ari shaffir
Are we friends together?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Okay, good.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
I forgot you drugged him.
tom segura
I forgot that.
bert kreischer
Dude, I'll tell you right now.
joe rogan
Is your wife over it?
unidentified
No.
bert kreischer
My kids aren't over it either.
That really breaks my heart.
Your kids aren't?
That's what really breaks my heart.
joe rogan
You should buy them stuff.
tom segura
You should buy them stuff.
unidentified
No, no, no.
bert kreischer
Let it breathe until one day they find you're funny and they're like...
joe rogan
That might not happen.
You should buy them stuff.
bert kreischer
Buy them something cool.
I told Joe in the green room, I decided to forgive Ari so that the people I hate know how much I really hate them.
joe rogan
Ooh, I like that.
That was a good one.
I like what you said.
ari shaffir
Good.
Do stuff out of spite.
joe rogan
No.
Yeah, but it's like to let people know.
Like, this guy drugged me in front of my kids, and I still forgive him.
ari shaffir
What in front of your kids?
What do you mean in front of your kids?
That's not a part that mattered.
bert kreischer
Let's not talk about it.
unidentified
If you have kids, it's a part.
bert kreischer
Yeah, we're good.
joe rogan
A person with no kids doesn't understand that.
bert kreischer
I had to come to a moment.
I had a spiritual healer come to my house to clear my energy.
I talked to Tom about it.
And she cleared our new house for all its bad energy.
And then she said, I see some darkness in you.
joe rogan
Oh boy.
bert kreischer
I told Joe about it.
I was dealing with darkness in my head about just OCD shit.
And I went, alright, fuck, what is it?
And she picked you out in a heartbeat and I went, I am not, I haven't forgiven her yet.
joe rogan
She probably listens to the podcast.
ari shaffir
No, I know.
I called you and was like, I'm over it.
And then I'm like, you're still not over it.
unidentified
I wasn't over it.
joe rogan
Do you know any spiritual healers listen to this podcast?
A lot.
ari shaffir
So what?
So what?
tom segura
She said Aerie Schaefer and he was like, yes.
ari shaffir
It's Aerie Schaefer.
joe rogan
Did you do something to burnt Chrysler?
bert kreischer
She said it's...
If you...
I'm forgetting the exact words.
I know because I'm a little strokey.
But, uh...
joe rogan
Something about bringing Jay Moore up.
bert kreischer
It was about...
joe rogan
A little fuse.
bert kreischer
I'm going to have to deal with that tomorrow.
unidentified
Fuck you!
bert kreischer
It was...
unidentified
It was what?
bert kreischer
It was...
If you love him, you've got to help fix his karma.
This bad karma for him.
And I thought...
I do.
I can't write you off.
ari shaffir
I couldn't think straight.
Every time I was on a hike, my girlfriend was like, what?
I'm like, I'm my friend.
I'm still not friends with him.
It's fucking hard.
bert kreischer
She said, you've got to fix his karma if you care about him.
And I was like, I do.
I can't not have conversations with him.
Your conversations are too important to me.
Seeing you in New York, when I go to New York and spending time with you is too important to me.
And I know you.
I know you so well.
And I know that you're...
I said to someone, I think I may have said to Tom, I said, he's a great guy.
He's just a bad person.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I'll take that.
I don't know what that means.
I'll take it.
bert kreischer
And it's like, he didn't...
And he was like, you didn't mean to...
You never meant to hurt me at all.
And I was like...
And I talked to Joe and Tom about this ad nauseum.
But I was like, I can't...
I can't...
Man, I'm not in a place to look for new fucking friends.
I got him.
He's one of my friends.
joe rogan
You know one thing that's beautiful about this?
We're here in 2019. In any other business.
If you drugged a peer...
And you did so publicly.
And that it was discussed publicly.
And yet, you were on my podcast, two weeks later, we were howling about it.
We got high!
We were smoking weed and just laughing about the fact that you drugged him.
ari shaffir
It was hard because it was serious, but it was also super not serious at the same time.
joe rogan
We were having a good time.
We were having a good time talking about it.
And then we were also talking about how no one's kicked you out of the comedy community.
It was never even a thought.
There's not a second where you're not getting booked anywhere.
Not a second where you're ostracized.
It's like this is the last frontier for savages.
This is the last frontier for people that are doing wild, crazy, stupid shit.
And that is one of the wildest, craziest, stupidest fucking things you can do is drug someone when they don't know you're drugging them.
It's like a fucking...
It is the line-stepping of all line-stepping.
And we're like, ah!
ari shaffir
I thought I had the lines worked out.
joe rogan
Joey Diaz had the funniest fucking take on it.
Joey Diaz called me up.
He goes, listen to me.
This fucking Bert and Ari thing.
He goes, Ari's family.
He goes, he's here.
He's here.
He's not going anywhere.
We're not getting rid of him.
I go, we're not getting rid of him.
He goes, exactly.
I go, I'm not saying we are.
He goes, I know you're not.
I go, okay.
And he goes, look, he fucked up.
I go, okay.
He fucked up.
I'm not saying anything.
Joey's like arguing.
He calls you up.
He'll call you up arguing.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Like he's arguing with somebody else.
ari shaffir
Right away.
joe rogan
We're fucking, he's family.
tom segura
Out of the gate.
joe rogan
I'm like, I definitely agree with you.
I'm like, I'm not arguing here.
bert kreischer
He called me like two days after and he's like, I just answered the phone and he goes, you gotta forgive him.
I didn't say a word.
And I was like, I'm going through some shit right now.
Go through your shit, cocksucker.
Do what you gotta do.
You gotta forgive him.
He's a good guy.
You know that.
You know that.
tom segura
Now he's got a bit about it.
unidentified
It was killer.
joe rogan
It's killer.
It's killer.
ari shaffir
I thought we might...
I thought...
I was like, oh, we're going to do this podcast.
I was like, I thought we might talk about this.
I kind of wrote down some feelings.
joe rogan
Oh, boy.
bert kreischer
You're lying right now.
ari shaffir
I'm not.
I'm not.
tom segura
You're so lying.
unidentified
I'm not.
joe rogan
No, he's not.
ari shaffir
Also, I smuggled some fruit in.
A felony.
Ew.
If you guys want some grenadillas.
joe rogan
Don't say that.
ari shaffir
Grenadillas.
joe rogan
Don't tell anybody.
Don't show the fruit.
ari shaffir
Okay.
joe rogan
That's a lie.
We're just joking, folks.
Any DEA agents, or who would it be?
ari shaffir
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Agriculture?
tom segura
Yeah.
Agriculture people.
bert kreischer
If you tell me they're all in Spanish, I'm going to fucking jump over this table.
joe rogan
Can you play the Hulk music?
ari shaffir
It's all in Spanish.
joe rogan
Can you play this theme of the Hulk?
ari shaffir
How are you in Spanish?
bert kreischer
Can you translate?
tom segura
I gotta pee, man.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
You gotta pee?
tom segura
I gotta pee.
Go ahead.
ari shaffir
Okay.
Okay, read it over Brent.
tom segura
My dearest Brent.
bert kreischer
You're a fucking cunt.
ari shaffir
Can you just let him read what you wrote and translate it?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Better move.
Better move.
ari shaffir
We can do that.
I double spaced it.
tom segura
Good call.
ari shaffir
I'm going to have a mispelling of two C.
unidentified
Oh, fuck me.
joe rogan
What is it?
bert kreischer
Before this goes viral, can I just mention the Birdie Boy World Tour?
tom segura
It says, uh, alright, dear Brent, uh, what's important?
Our friendship is important.
Um, friendship is more important now that Tom is occupied with the fried pizza.
ari shaffir
This is as important to me as Tom is with deep fried pizza.
tom segura
With deep fried pizza, great.
It's more important to me than...
unidentified
Add that fruit.
joe rogan
Don't show it on camera.
That's a felony.
tom segura
More important to me than Joe's obsession with killing animals.
ari shaffir
Killing defenseless animals in the woods.
tom segura
Defenseless animals.
joe rogan
They have horns.
ari shaffir
Beautiful animals in the woods.
joe rogan
They're going to fuck you up with those horns.
tom segura
More...
Alright, there you go.
unidentified
There you go.
ari shaffir
Let's see if I can remember this.
joe rogan
Just speak from the heart.
ari shaffir
Okay.
joe rogan
Just say it.
You don't have to read it.
Just tell him how you feel.
ari shaffir
Friendship is more important to me than anything.
Even more important than Tom is deep fried pizza.
More important than Joe is killing animals.
More important than...
Oh, some of this is really mean.
joe rogan
Don't do that.
Just put that down and tell me sorry.
ari shaffir
But I wrote some funny stuff.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
ari shaffir
Okay.
Friendship is more important to me than Eliza's...
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
Don't do this.
Don't do this.
bert kreischer
I would not read that.
tom segura
Let your friends tell you.
joe rogan
Don't do this.
bert kreischer
We're your friends.
tom segura
We love you.
joe rogan
We love you.
Listen, look at the face of Brody.
ari shaffir
I wrote one funny...
Living without you would be worse than Tony Hinchcliffe living without the mural above his bed of him blowing Joe Rogan as Jeff Ross fucks him in the ass.
joe rogan
I don't think he has that.
ari shaffir
He does have that.
I've seen it in his apartment.
joe rogan
Who painted it?
bert kreischer
So you read this in Spanish and you pulled the plug.
tom segura
I saw what was coming up.
bert kreischer
Hey, let me tell you something.
I'll tell you this right now.
ari shaffir
I didn't know all the fallback was going to happen.
The point is, all I wanted to do was, I like playing pranks.
I will do what you said, Joe.
It's just speaking from the heart.
I like playing pranks.
I like doing fun stuff.
And I thought, the same thing I did with Luis Gomez, where he had this great announcement for Skank Fest and was like, I'm going to ruin that.
And I'm going to do it by promoting it.
And I thought, I'll give you what you love doing, which is great content for your fans.
I know you're never going to release that podcast, but it was...
The best podcast.
Top 20 podcasts of all time of any podcast.
And I thought, I'll give that to you.
I'll have a fun time with my friend.
I didn't know all the fallback was going to happen.
I didn't know your kids were going to come home and say, you know...
bert kreischer
That I got raped.
ari shaffir
That you got raped by Ari.
Which I don't know why they...
Here's what I don't know.
Why they wouldn't think you have better stamina and strength than me.
Why they wouldn't think that you would rape me.
bert kreischer
That's a good point.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Kids are intuitive.
Maybe they saw something in you that I don't see.
A fanciness or something, but I don't know.
joe rogan
Read it.
Go back to reading it.
ari shaffir
The point is this.
joe rogan
Go back to reading it!
ari shaffir
I wanted to have fun.
I thought, I have a prank.
I thought the prank first.
I'm going to dose somebody in a podcast.
I'm going to give them acid or molly.
And I was like, who can I do it to?
You know?
I thought of Luis Gomez first, but I was like, he's an unknown.
He's worthless.
And I actually don't like him that much.
He's a good guy.
And then I thought, it has to be a good friend.
You can't do it to a semi-friend.
It has to be someone who parties.
So it can't be these two faggots.
You know?
And then it hit me, the fucking, the machine.
I know the machine.
So I was like, I will do that with Bert.
That was my thought.
And I know people are telling you that I thought you were weak.
That's the furthest thing from the truth.
I thought you were fun.
If you've forgiven me, but I won't do this.
joe rogan
Sometimes people do something and they have it in their head that it's going to be okay, and they don't understand how other people are going to perceive it.
It's not that they did it with bad intentions, it's just that they fucked up.
ari shaffir
And I didn't think about you having to fucking run interference with me against your wife.
It's like...
bert kreischer
I'll tell you right now, the biggest thing that fucked me up about it, the biggest thing was that when it happened, I knew I was going to have to take care of you.
I knew all the implications of what was about to trickle down.
And that was the one thing where I was like, why would you make my life more complicated?
And I told you on the phone.
And by the way, no one said this other than me.
I said this to myself, and I've said this to Joe a million times.
It's that moniker of, like, you think I'm weak.
It's my biggest fucking thing of, like, people to go, in my head...
And I would go, I know Joe doesn't say that.
I know Tom doesn't say that.
And I know you don't say that.
But in that moment, I was like, is he doing what these enemies do to me?
Where he just thinks, oh, he's some fucking weak comic who just rips his shirt off.
joe rogan
Taking advantage of your good nature.
bert kreischer
Right.
And that was the thing.
And when I was on the phone with you, I was in Connecticut.
I was with Shane in the car.
And I told you that.
And you said, oh, my God.
I would never think.
Because I share that with you privately.
I share it publicly now.
But I shared both of you privately.
Your response, I knew that's why you didn't do that.
And I was like, alright, I can get past this.
Which was a big thing for me to go, I can get past this.
And then it took a little bit to just go...
ari shaffir
Still mad though.
bert kreischer
No.
At a certain point I thought, it's just a reward.
Does Ari bring more to my life than that one stupid fucking moment?
Right?
And I said, yeah, he does.
You bring a lot to my life, Ari.
You don't know that.
I don't share that maybe enough with you, but you bring up a lot to my life.
And all you guys do.
I mean, our friendship means a lot more to me maybe than it means to you guys sometimes.
joe rogan
No, it means a lot to me too, man.
It does.
This podcast that we do, these regular podcasts we do, some of my favorite.
They're so fun.
bert kreischer
Yeah, the chat thread.
Dude, I'll tell you.
tom segura
The text thread's fun.
joe rogan
The text thread's fucking awesome.
tom segura
It's great.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Don't eat that.
It's illegal.
Agriculture's going to come here.
They have a helicopter.
bert kreischer
But yeah, if we're being 100% honest.
tom segura
You skipped every other word.
You're like, don't eat.
Helicopter here.
Agriculture.
bert kreischer
Do you have a stroke too?
unidentified
It is.
joe rogan
It's contagious.
bert kreischer
Both of these guys were, I don't know, I have to share this, both of these guys were very, very valuable to me in that moment where I was super vulnerable.
Both of them had a moment where it was fun, and then a moment where they called me and they were concerned.
joe rogan
Yeah, when you told me during the podcast, when I first did the podcast, I'm like, what happened?
You're like, oh, just wait.
Like, you didn't even want to talk about it until, that's when I knew it was serious.
ari shaffir
I still thought it was fun until it was like, and then Tom was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
And I was like, wait, is this serious?
joe rogan
No other business!
If you were working in HR at a fucking network and you guys went on a Christmas party and you drugged somebody, that's the end of your fucking career, man.
ari shaffir
First of all, free drugs.
tom segura
Free drugs.
ari shaffir
Free drugs to someone.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they didn't want it.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tom segura
Well, I knew he was really upset about it, too, you know?
ari shaffir
Yeah, when you told me afterwards, you're like, oh, he's really fucked up over it.
tom segura
But I also wanted really badly for you guys to make up.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
I spoke to both.
bert kreischer
Everyone.
Both of you.
Both of you guys did.
ari shaffir
Yeah, Tom called me and was like, hey, I saw you.
I called you every day trying to like...
bert kreischer
You called me every day.
unidentified
Every day.
ari shaffir
You wouldn't take my call.
And Tom was like, hey, I saw you call him.
bert kreischer
I just knew that it was wrong for me to answer because I didn't know what to say to you, and I wasn't right in the head yet.
And I was like, I'm really angry, but I'm not mad at him.
Does that make sense?
joe rogan
Yes.
bert kreischer
And I was like, I feel victimized, but I know I'm not a victim.
I know that this is going to be fine.
I call Whitney.
I talked to Whitney about it.
joe rogan
What did she say?
Call the police?
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
We were in the backstage of the comedy store.
ari shaffir
Call the police, it's a felony.
I'm like, you think that's the only felony I've ever committed?
Hello?
joe rogan
Hey, put that down.
Don't film it.
bert kreischer
We were in the backstage of the comedy store, or in the back bar, and we saw David Spade and Whitney when I was on High on Molly.
ari shaffir
You were having a great time!
bert kreischer
I was having a blast.
ari shaffir
You saw David Spade there, and you're like, oh, I've got a great story for David Spade.
I've always been sexually attracted to him, and this is my moment.
I went over David Spade.
bert kreischer
I can hear you say that now.
When I heard you say that on the podcast, I got mad at you.
I was like, it's so fucked up, man.
It's so fucked up.
There's so many complex moments in this where you're right.
You're totally right.
David Spade was back there and me and you were back there and I was like, I got drunk by Molly.
And then he brought it up on his show and it's like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And even the podcast, I was like, I was conflicting because I go, this is super compelling content.
ari shaffir
You saw it during the podcast!
bert kreischer
I definitely did.
ari shaffir
I'm so mad at you for doing this, but I see it now.
bert kreischer
I see it.
ari shaffir
This is the best podcast.
bert kreischer
But I was like, in retrospect, I was like, I can't release it.
I don't want to be the guy that people come on my show and they go, I'm going to fucking drug him in that time.
ari shaffir
No, it's a one-time only thing.
bert kreischer
But I talked to Whitney and Whitney was like, Whitney, oddly enough, said exactly what Joe said and said, this is really...
It's not right, man.
It's not right.
You shouldn't be drugging people in front of their kids.
She was like, I'm sorry I didn't say that to you.
In the thing, I didn't know how you felt.
And that's how Joe felt.
That's also how Tom felt.
I didn't know how I felt, so I brought all these energies of like, I got drugged, and then everything's on the table, and everyone's like, I gotta figure out your fucking emotions.
And I hadn't figured them out yet.
I gotta be honest with you, man.
When you lean on friends, and you come out of a place like that, and you go...
In a weird way, I was like, I feel a lot closer to the four of us after that, and I'm like, I'm definitely not glad it happened.
joe rogan
You drugged us all together.
You brought us closer.
ari shaffir
In a metaphorical way, I did.
bert kreischer
And the funny part is I was like, I was like...
He wanted to kill Sober October.
But now he's got to do it for the rest of his fucking life.
Because he didn't win.
We're always going to do Sober October.
ari shaffir
No, no.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
tom segura
Every year, Ari.
bert kreischer
Every fucking year.
joe rogan
Yeah, you kind of have to now.
You drugged him in front of his kids.
bert kreischer
You drugged me in front of my children.
ari shaffir
First of all, what drug?
It's MDMA. You asked him to be like so roofie.
joe rogan
Fucked up his brain for like weeks.
unidentified
Yeah.
Do you understand that?
bert kreischer
I'm still doing the deal with OCD shit.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Dude, you know what would be fucking funny?
joe rogan
You literally spiraled him.
tom segura
And I think you could do this.
You could chloroform him.
That would be a fucking...
bert kreischer
You can get that online.
ari shaffir
That's a drugging.
tom segura
That would be good.
joe rogan
That's a drugging.
tom segura
That would be a good thing.
joe rogan
No, no, don't do that.
ari shaffir
I will say to anyone at home doing MDMA, your friend is 5-HDP. I told Bert, but he was not in a place where he was going to trust anything I would say.
That has 5HDP in it.
5HDP will equalize your mood and I meant to bring it with me and I didn't and I fucked up hard.
I pride myself on dosing people the right way.
bert kreischer
It's like you learn nothing.
ari shaffir
During that podcast I remember this too.
I was like...
We were feeling, like, really good.
We were feeling really good.
bert kreischer
I did feel really good during that podcast.
unidentified
Of course.
ari shaffir
It was a fun time.
joe rogan
You were on ecstasy.
ari shaffir
We were watching Sunset over Joey Diaz's head.
unidentified
Joey Diaz's head.
bert kreischer
Bro, there's nothing more beautiful.
On my deathbed, when you get that six seconds of memories to your life, I hope I see Joey Diaz like Jesus Christ, like Buddha, just going, listen, cocksucker, if you would have had a stroke, it would have already happened.
You're going to be fine.
ari shaffir
I didn't know you were freaking out.
You handled it like a professional.
bert kreischer
I didn't have much of an option there, Captain!
ari shaffir
No, but you were like...
You handled it like a pro.
bert kreischer
That's what drugs do, is they take you over.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Can't wait to see...
joe rogan
So, are we going to do this next year?
ari shaffir
Let's do it in January.
joe rogan
January?
bert kreischer
Let's do a mid-month.
Let's do a mid-year month and do a fun...
ari shaffir
Here's what I'm saying.
Yes, I agree with that.
tom segura
It's way easier to do it, I think, in June or something.
bert kreischer
Like a non-touring month.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Sober October is what we've been calling it.
bert kreischer
We can do that in October.
I'll do it in October again as well.
I don't mind.
ari shaffir
We could do it any time.
joe rogan
Do you like doing gigs as much when you can't have a little drink?
ari shaffir
By the way, I haven't smoked pot in 16 days.
Why?
I just haven't had me in Columbia.
tom segura
It sucked doing Europe without being able to just...
ari shaffir
Yeah, there's always going to be a reason why you won't do it, but I'm saying October, Yankee playoffs games, there's things...
bert kreischer
I love it.
tom segura
You love what?
bert kreischer
I love Sober October.
ari shaffir
You love the month, or you love just doing it online?
bert kreischer
I love having an excuse not to get drunk every fucking night.
ari shaffir
Let's do that in January.
joe rogan
Let's stop right there.
Are you really doing that every night?
You getting drunk every night?
bert kreischer
No, not every night, but on the road, especially...
You go to Boston.
You do a show in Boston.
joe rogan
Oh, you do this thing, though.
You do this thing where you invite everybody to a bar afterwards.
tom segura
You're wild.
bert kreischer
I like that.
I like that.
ari shaffir
You are wild.
You're the only one who goes out with your friends.
Tom has a general disdain for fans.
He won't touch them or look at them.
He thinks it's beneath them.
But, like, you actually go out with them.
joe rogan
We used to do photos with everybody after shows.
bert kreischer
When I first started doing shows with the Ice House, you were the most generous human being.
You'd sit in line.
Guys would be like, Joe, I want to talk to you one quick second about Ice House.
joe rogan
I was happy to do that.
ari shaffir
Chicago Theater.
joe rogan
I did Chicago Theater.
3,700 people for two shows.
ari shaffir
They would line it up.
They would line up two levels.
joe rogan
Yeah, hours.
Hours of taking pictures of people.
But it got weird.
It got too weird.
And too many people just...
The podcast got to this weird, strange space where people would come to me with like 10-page letters and proposals of things that we needed to do together and they just wanted too much of you.
And I just realized I've got to step away from that.
bert kreischer
I'm not there.
I like to name a bar, give them good business.
joe rogan
Well, you also like to get fucked up.
So you, after the show, want to get fucked up and party.
bert kreischer
I'd still go out during October and hang out.
Just not drink.
ari shaffir
I'm saying.
I would have a lot more fun with this if we did it in January.
bert kreischer
It starts up...
I'll do it this January?
I don't give a fuck.
joe rogan
We could do it in January.
We don't have to do Sober October.
tom segura
Okay.
joe rogan
We could do January.
bert kreischer
That's for Australia, though.
tom segura
That's fine.
bert kreischer
Are we doing this, like, in a couple days?
ari shaffir
No!
joe rogan
Next year!
Jesus!
ari shaffir
January would be a lot.
October is just like, you guys don't live in New York.
bert kreischer
My fucking Mickey Mantle brain was like, I'm in.
Let's do it if I can do it.
Let's lose weight.
joe rogan
Let's get 205. January is World Carnivore Month.
That's one thing that I've thought about doing.
There's a lot of people that are just eating meat.
unidentified
Only meat?
joe rogan
Nothing but meat.
ari shaffir
I did that once for a month.
joe rogan
How'd you go?
ari shaffir
Didn't shit.
joe rogan
At all?
ari shaffir
At all.
tom segura
For a month?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I mean, the only vegetables I had were garnished, like sauteed mushrooms on top of a steak.
joe rogan
Did you do it on purpose?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
You didn't shit for a month?
ari shaffir
I shit for the first, like, week or so, and then, like, once every, like, week after that.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
What were those shits like when they came out?
tom segura
For your world carnivore...
joe rogan
Like they were old.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like they were rotten.
ari shaffir
Way opposite from what I got now.
joe rogan
Like they were dried out and rotten inside of you.
tom segura
Like cadaver and fucking cancer lungs.
It was a problem.
joe rogan
Like cancer lungs coming out of your asshole.
tom segura
Jesus, man.
I'm going to fall asleep.
bert kreischer
Let's figure this out, wrap this up, have a drink outside.
ari shaffir
I like that.
I will say, we can do it in January.
I'll personally have a lot more fun with it.
As a New Yorker, October is the...
Honestly, probably the best drinking month of the year, so it's extra hard for me.
But if we do it in January, it's great.
And if we have a real competition, it would be even better.
unidentified
The problem with real competitions is I'm crazy.
ari shaffir
Reading is something that you can't make videos on, but something you can actually do.
bert kreischer
The thing I loved about what we did last October was that I felt very...
I'm untethered from the group and competition wise.
So it was fun for me.
Let's plan it out.
joe rogan
The classes were fun.
ari shaffir
Separate thing.
tom segura
That was the most fun.
ari shaffir
Starting February 8th, I will be gaining weight and you guys will be losing weight.
That's the date?
February 8th will be done with my special.
tom segura
Okay.
ari shaffir
First one to pass me.
I'll weigh in every day.
unidentified
I'm going to get down to 190. You'll pass me first.
tom segura
You're starting at 180 basically?
unidentified
I'll probably be at 175. Wait, what do you think you can get up to?
ari shaffir
I've been up to...
I've been up to 240 before.
You have?
bert kreischer
Pull that picture up, Jamie.
joe rogan
Oh, I remember that.
I remember those days.
ari shaffir
No, no, I was in college.
joe rogan
No, no, you got fat.
You got fat when I knew you.
ari shaffir
I've been like 220. You have?
joe rogan
Yeah, I remember.
And then he's eating candy.
She's eating candy all day.
ari shaffir
A lot of candy.
bert kreischer
A lot of candy.
tom segura
All right.
joe rogan
And then he just quit eating candy.
And I was like, that motherfucker's got a willpower.
That's one thing when we did the Sober October Fitness Challenge, honestly, like legitimately, Ari was the only one I was worried about.
ari shaffir
Why?
joe rogan
Because you're crazy.
Because I remember doing jiu-jitsu with you.
ari shaffir
I just didn't want to lose.
joe rogan
I know, you don't like to lose.
You get very serious.
We would play pool, and even though I'm a better pool player than Ari, I would give him the 7, 8, and 9, and we would gamble.
So we'd play 9 ball, and I'd have to run all the balls and sink the 9 to win, but Ari could win if he sunk the 7, the 8, or the 9.
It's a giant advantage.
It's a huge difference, and we would play fucking serious.
He would get very competitive.
And then I bought him a year of jiu-jitsu once for Christmas or Hanukkah, whatever the fuck you celebrate.
ari shaffir
You know it's Hanukkah.
joe rogan
Whatever. - Whatever.
You don't even believe in God.
You don't even believe in God.
You're an atheist.
It's nonsense.
tom segura
It's nonsense.
joe rogan
Anyway, so we were doing jiu-jitsu, and it got fucking very serious.
Like, we were rolling together.
Like, he's really trying.
He's very competitive.
Ari's very competitive.
But, like, he's got a very strong mind.
And I was like, this motherfucker...
We're not doing anything where, like...
You have to get better at a physical skill.
It's very simple.
All you have to do is have willpower to stay at 80% of your max heart rate for a long time.
And that's all willpower.
That's really all it is.
Or if you're smart enough to distract yourself, like Ari figured out how to watch movies.
That was a big game changer in the fucking thing.
ari shaffir
On the strap?
joe rogan
Yeah, once you figure out how to watch movies while you're on a treadmill or something like that.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it was annoying to have to constantly be like working out.
joe rogan
Constantly working out.
ari shaffir
That challenge part, none of us expected that to all of us to go for it.
joe rogan
It was so crazy.
ari shaffir
That part off each other.
joe rogan
It was so crazy.
When you got the flu and then you came back from the flu and ran 13 fucking miles.
ari shaffir
That's why we didn't do a competition this year.
We didn't do a competition because everybody's girlfriend or wives was like, no, no.
joe rogan
No.
Yeah.
tom segura
Everybody, they're mad.
joe rogan
My whole family.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Plus, I was just crazy, man.
I was so into it.
I just, like, opened up that door.
I opened up that door that I didn't...
I hadn't opened up that door in fucking decades.
ari shaffir
Who do you think will pass me first and wait between the two of you?
bert kreischer
Me.
ari shaffir
You think him, too?
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I'll just become an obsessive compulsive about it.
It's not super fun, but I'm cool with it if I know I've got nothing to do.
I've got so much pizza.
tom segura
Do it, man.
joe rogan
How fat are you going to get?
ari shaffir
I mean, hopefully one of them stops me.
bert kreischer
How great would it be if we didn't lose any weight and you just passed us?
joe rogan
You're 180. You have to gain 25 pounds just to get to Burt's target weight.
bert kreischer
That's a lot of weight.
And Tom's target weight, too.
joe rogan
I want you to look at this.
ari shaffir
I didn't think of it that way.
You're right.
joe rogan
Tom might have done something a little earlier that we'll talk about in a minute.
But there's stacks of steaks.
bert kreischer
Wait, what?
Hold on.
The fucking phone.
joe rogan
25 stacks of steaks.
bert kreischer
Hold on, Joe.
Joe.
tom segura
What's going on?
bert kreischer
Joe.
joe rogan
What are you talking about?
bert kreischer
When I was in the bathroom, what the fuck happened?
joe rogan
I don't know.
bert kreischer
Jamie, Jamie, what happened?
You motherfucker.
joe rogan
Tom, any thoughts?
bert kreischer
You cunts.
tom segura
I didn't do anything.
unidentified
You saw the way in.
You walked in.
tom segura
You walked in on it.
You saw the number.
unidentified
Oh.
Watch the video tomorrow.
bert kreischer
This is bullshit.
joe rogan
He leaned on my shoulder.
bert kreischer
Wait, how did you know what I was going to weigh?
joe rogan
That's my idea.
Well, he got lucky.
ari shaffir
You know what we're going to do for Super October this year?
I remember now.
Oh, you cunt.
bert kreischer
I saw Tom weighing in and I went, oh, that's why I should weigh in.
He's weighing in.
You motherfuckers.
tom segura
I would never do something like that.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
bert kreischer
Can I tell you, today I thought to myself, I'd only cheat on my wife if I was with you on the road and you were cheating on Christina.
I was like, then I'd be cool with it.
Oh, what?
If we were both in a tour bus, you're like, Bert, let's both fuck him.
I was like, alright, Tom, we're in.
tom segura
That'd be a fun podcast.
bert kreischer
By the way, I thought you were doing the Benny Hill song.
joe rogan
Oh.
unidentified
With Tom and I chasing two taking whores around a bus.
joe rogan
Benny Hill.
Who the fuck ever brings up that show anymore?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's the last time you heard Benny Hill.
bert kreischer
What was it?
How does that song go?
unidentified
That's me and John chasing around two naked chicks.
joe rogan
He was like smacking people and girls would smack him.
tom segura
It was always cute girls, right?
joe rogan
He was like a pervert.
ari shaffir
That was a straight me too.
joe rogan
God, I forgot about that fucking show.
You just brought that up.
That's probably the first time I thought about that show in more than a decade.
tom segura
Long time?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Rape doesn't sound that bad with this music.
joe rogan
Pull up a video of the Benny Hill Show, because I barely remember it.
I remember he was like a chubby English guy, right?
tom segura
A lot of big expressions, right?
bert kreischer
Hey, Ari, pour us a shot.
That's how much I trust you.
joe rogan
Here it is.
The Benny Hill Show.
Here he is.
ari shaffir
I'm not going to do it ever again.
bert kreischer
I know you won't.
I trust you.
joe rogan
Look at him.
Benny Hill.
Yeah, everything was like all fast and speeded up and weird.
Remember that show?
ari shaffir
Irish people suck.
joe rogan
Alright, we should wrap this bitch up.
bert kreischer
Let's do a shot while we're in the show.
joe rogan
Do a shot while we're in the show.
Goodbye, America.
bert kreischer
Not a vodka.
Let's do a nice whiskey shot while we're in the show.
joe rogan
Oh, a real one.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
A real one.
Do we have glasses?
unidentified
Keep your eyes on...
Maybe you shouldn't pour it, if you know what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Do we have glasses for shots?
I got this fucking watered down...
bert kreischer
I got this one.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
bert kreischer
Hey, Merry Christmas, guys.

In a lot of ways, right?
bert kreischer
I would agree with that 100%.
unidentified
Thanks, bro.
bert kreischer
Straight from the bottle.
tom segura
And podcasting.
bert kreischer

Changed my life.
Changed the fuck out of my life.
