#1160 - Bert Kreischer

Bert Kreischer (0:00)

Damn, fuck yes.

Joe Rogan (0:03)

Dude, I love the video that Tommy made.

Bert Kreischer (0:05)

Oh, Tommy's.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

The fucking animation.

Bert Kreischer (0:08)

You gotta go check out Tommy's animation, that motherfucker.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Where is it at now? Where can you get it?

Bert Kreischer (0:13)

Oh, we're live?

Joe Rogan (0:14)

We're live, we're live. Where can you get that animation?

Bert Kreischer (0:17)

Oh, I guarantee you, on Tom's Instagram.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Is it available?

Bert Kreischer (0:19)

Dude, he paid for that.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

I know he did.

Bert Kreischer (0:21)

He paid for that.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

It's amazing, it's amazing. He showed it to me last night at the Ice House. It's fucking amazing. Whoever did that is really talented. It's very funny stuff.

Bert Kreischer (0:28)

His fans are the most creative fans ever. Dude, he's got fans in Indonesia who teach English to children, and all they do is teach them how to say Bert is fat.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Yeah. Yeah. And jeans.

Bert Kreischer (0:42)

And jeans. Jeans.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

High and tight.

Oh, so strange. He's got a weird niche, like him and his wife together on that podcast. It's a weird, silly show.

Bert Kreischer (0:56)

We should, the six of us should go out to eat one night because watching the two of them interact is just inside jokes between the two of them.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Always.

Bert Kreischer (1:03)

And it's so much fun to be, they really are one of the funnest couples that I've ever befriended in my life.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

It's weird that it works so good. It's like every comedian couple, when they're two comedians, you're like, how long, it's like a bomb. Like you're just standing next to them. Like, I gotta get out of here before this thing blows.

Bert Kreischer (1:19)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

But with them, it's like, it just works.

Bert Kreischer (1:22)

It's so funny too, because he's known me probably 15 years.

And the other day, we're hanging out. There's just me and him bullshit. And he goes, he's got two kids. You get their house. You can tell they have two brand new kids. Ellis is running around like a lunatic with a balloon running into walls. The kids are wrecking ball. The other one's an infant. And he looks at me and goes, I can't believe you did this with no money.

I just had kids like, fuck it, it'll work out. Wow.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Yeah, that's true, right? How old were you when you first started having kids?

Bert Kreischer (1:51)

32, I think. My daughter's 14

Joe Rogan (1:54)

And how long into comedy were you then?

Bert Kreischer (1:56)

Oh, like, I started at 26, so eight years.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Wow.

Bert Kreischer (2:01)

Maybe, yeah, eight years, probably six years. Someone could do the math better than me.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yeah, so it's six years, and that is not a good time as a comedian. Six years in is rough.

Bert Kreischer (2:12)

I was featuring, Georgia was born on a Tuesday, and we induced labor so that I could go feature for David Tell on Thursday.

SPEAKER_3 (2:21)

Oh, my God.

Bert Kreischer (2:23)

And I was so excited to work with David Tell. I was almost as excited to work with David Tell as I have a kid.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

Where were you working?

Bert Kreischer (2:31)

Miami. I worked that stretch.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

That was a terrible place to work.

Bert Kreischer (2:36)

Not with, yeah, no shit.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

Dude, I was just in Miami. I was in Miami a few months ago, and I did that cell phone bag thing, because I did it before I filmed my Netflix special.

Bert Kreischer (2:47)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

I did it for a while, where they'd have to put their phones in the bag, and then I stopped doing it. It's just, it's complicated. It's annoying. It takes, especially when you're doing two shows, it's a giant space in between show, but never have I seen a crowd, like, because to use your phone, you gotta get out of the arena, and then come back.

Everybody was just constantly going out. They were constantly getting up. I mean, it was just, it was like I was doing stand up, not in front of people sitting down, but in front of people in a constant state of moving, sitting down, and getting up.

Bert Kreischer (3:18)

That's fucking insane.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

They were just constantly moving. Like no place I've ever been. They have zero attention span. I've always said, if you want to starve to death, open up a bookstore in Miami.
