Transcript
00:00:03.000
If I had to describe you to someone, I wouldn't say that's a fat guy.
00:00:17.000
Because you're weighing in, so you're trying to dehydrate.
00:00:23.000
This motherfucker's been working out since August.
00:00:26.000
And in November, he says, hey, let's do a weight loss challenge.
00:00:33.000
Wait, that's a little bit of a Burt-ism, though.
00:00:37.000
I don't know if you know this, Burt's prone to exaggerate slightly.
00:00:48.000
It was a New York binge where I drank every day on OP radio, drank every single night, and then came back.
00:00:57.000
Ari said to me, he's like, there's no way you're 244. I got on because that's what Buns was on November 11th.
00:01:05.000
I saw you the next day at the End of the World podcast.
00:01:18.000
But actually, Ari made the challenge, but I was thinking about the origin of Bird is Fat.
00:01:24.000
It's you and your wife when you get together are dicks.
00:01:32.000
The name of the podcast is the thing you said to other kids when you didn't like them.
00:01:39.000
You wonder where this hate-filled fucking podcast comes from.
00:01:43.000
So wait, though, but this is where it came from.
00:01:49.000
And do you remember a few years ago, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was in the scandal?
00:02:04.000
And it inspired a movie that I think was on HBO or Showtime.
00:02:07.000
And we were watching it, and they did it loosely or mostly based on that story, but it wasn't a biopic.
00:02:13.000
And the guy that played DSK was Gerard Depardieu.
00:02:17.000
And there's a scene where they have him get arrested and do the perp walk, and then they do the strip search, like, at Rikers Island.
00:02:24.000
And he had this totally bloated, distended, like, big booze body.
00:02:30.000
And we were like, that looks like Bert, but bigger, like, way bigger.
00:02:34.000
So then we talked about it on our podcast, and then people started to Photoshop Bert onto Gerard Neff.
00:02:42.000
I was actually taking it as compliments because I know he's a very talented actor.
00:02:50.000
This is happening in their little fucking world.
00:02:56.000
And I knew that one of the things that was popular on vlogs was weight loss.
00:03:00.000
So I was watching my weight loss and I was losing weight, but I was always weighing in on a Speedo.
00:03:10.000
And making fun of how fat I am, I'm oblivious to this.
00:03:15.000
And then one day, Doug Benson and I get into a fight.
00:03:19.000
I think everyone knows what I'm talking about here.
00:03:24.000
It was a live podcast, and it was very uncomfortable.
00:03:56.000
And he's like, you haven't been online, have you?
00:03:59.000
And he goes, alright, let's talk about what you're upset about.
00:04:04.000
And I just want you to know, Christina and I are very sorry, and we'll make this stop.
00:04:14.000
Bert is fat, and by the way, and this is at the very beginning of it, and I have to be very clear and honest about all of this emotions, because there are parts of this that are like, trigger warning, but like, it was funny as fucking shit, and you couldn't get mad at it, because it was all their best fans making hilarious fucking jokes.
00:04:33.000
One guy took the name Bert Kreisler And made his own fucking profile for it.
00:04:48.000
And he just sat in the front row the whole time going, Bert's fat, Bert's fat.
00:04:52.000
Next day his mom shows up, hey buddy, your mom's morbidly obese.
00:04:55.000
And the first word she says to me is, why are you so fat, Bert?
00:05:02.000
And I'm like, oh my god, this is getting out of fucking control.
00:05:11.000
As I walk on stage, half the audience goes, why is Bert fat?
00:05:15.000
Ari and I were in Calgary doing Stampede, and when I got on stage, all they were yelling is, Bert's fat, Bert's fat, why are you so fat?
00:05:26.000
And then at the end, I was like, I'm not telling the machine, and they started booing.
00:05:29.000
And Ari's like, dude, you've got to tell the machine every fucking time.
00:05:36.000
I'm fat, and I've got to tell the fucking machine.
00:05:39.000
The machine story, if you don't know, is a crazy story.
00:05:42.000
Go to the one that's on Facebook that went viral over the weekend.
00:05:54.000
I was telling Tom, marketing companies were calling going like, hey, what was your secret?
00:06:03.000
And like 10 people that are popular online retweeted it.
00:06:06.000
What's really cool about it, a little sidebar from this, but what's really cool about this, which I think you'll get a kick out of Joe, You guys heard me tell that story four years ago on this podcast.
00:06:15.000
I think half the people, everyone liked it, half the people thought it was a lie.
00:06:22.000
The reason it went viral, I think, is that people in my class tagged in the comment section, this story is 100% true, and posted pictures of the entire trip all through the comment section.
00:06:37.000
You see us that night on a train, drunk as fuck with the two gangsters.
00:06:41.000
All those are in the comments section, and so everyone that's ever heard the story lost their shit.
00:06:45.000
Like, dude, I got messages like, one guy said he has cancer, and this is the best thing that's ever happened to him.
00:06:53.000
And I'm like, dude, but anyway, that's a sidebar to that story.
00:07:00.000
Now I'm dealing with what Bill Burr does reference as fat shaming and quote unquote taking on water.
00:07:07.000
And I wake up with panic attack at four in the morning because I've been drinking.
00:07:19.000
And I write, oh my god, so sorry for your loss.
00:07:25.000
And then one of Tom's fans, and my fan I guess, writes in the next comment, so sorry for your loss, did Burt sit on your mom?
00:07:38.000
Next one is, hey, if you keep her cold, he'll eat her.
00:07:48.000
Lost her mom in the middle of the fucking night.
00:07:50.000
And her first words to me are, I'm sorry what's happening to you online.
00:07:56.000
Do you remember when you went to the zoo with the girls?
00:08:12.000
We're talking about the Bird is Fat, Thomas Fat shirts.
00:08:19.000
I'll just tell them on the site so we can split the profits so we can track them.
00:08:27.000
And then someone behind him is like, Bert's fat!
00:08:34.000
I figure it's like a friend's mother or something.
00:08:37.000
And then later he's like, yeah, that was a stranger.
00:08:40.000
It was right then I turned the phone around and I go, I'm talking to Tom Segura right now.
00:09:00.000
You know when you do morning TV? And they go, what do you want us to lead you with?
00:09:04.000
And it's always like, you know, comics will be like, ask me about birds.
00:09:10.000
So I was just like, ask me why bird cries for so fat.
00:09:16.000
Most of the times they go, I don't know about that.
00:09:33.000
And by the way, Tom doesn't make a joke out of it.
00:09:39.000
And so we play that on the podcast, and we go, ask...
00:09:47.000
I thought that like 100 people would tweet it to him.
00:09:50.000
I didn't know that they would destroy his Instagram, Facebook.
00:09:56.000
To the point where I had to tell my daughters, you can't read this.
00:10:02.000
But then Joey says this, there are these people out there that are fucking broken.
00:10:07.000
And say really hateful things and you're like, hey man, I'm all about a good time.
00:10:12.000
Like, I tweeted some guy today that, I forget what he said.
00:10:15.000
Oh, he goes, to be honest with you, I think both of you guys are winners in this challenge.
00:10:21.000
And I just, I was on the treadmill and I stumbled and I started laughing and I went, there's ones like that that are out there that are fucking great.
00:10:28.000
And I also, I remember I called him when I thought it was too much.
00:10:30.000
I go, I'll do a thing now where I say, and he was like, absolutely, you're not my fucking mother.
00:10:36.000
Not coming out this front soup going, he has asthma, stop picking on him!
00:10:40.000
I was like, I'll take this on the fucking chin.
00:10:56.000
He had this podcast, an amazing podcast with Henry Rollins.
00:10:59.000
And Henry Rollins, once a year, gets on a plane, he talks to his travel agent, and he goes, where can we go?
00:11:07.000
So he flies to Burma and knows no one, brings a laptop and a notebook.
00:11:16.000
He gets a hotel room and he just goes out in the street and just goes there during the day and at night he writes.
00:11:30.000
Yeah, because you're hammered everywhere you go.
00:11:35.000
And like, trust me, after a week you're like, okay, this is getting old.
00:11:44.000
Yeah, but I mean, Henry Rollins legitimately enjoys it.
00:11:46.000
If you listen to that podcast that he did, it's an amazing podcast because he just talks about the people that he's met and all the experiences that he's had.
00:11:54.000
Maybe Henry Rollins is a little deeper than I am.
00:11:55.000
I am a guy that, like, I want to go to a bar and meet a bunch of people and hang out and have a good time.
00:11:58.000
I'm not, like, sitting there going, oh, what is their spice here?
00:12:14.000
So what kind of timeline are we talking about that this all started?
00:12:20.000
So after the RE podcast, we challenged each other.
00:12:22.000
Which was November 7th, I'm guessing, because I saw you on the 8th.
00:12:37.000
I think part of it was that we had been doing all the fat talk.
00:12:52.000
Because I remember in July I was in Alabama and I was jogging and I was listening to you and Push fucking destroy me.
00:12:58.000
And I could not stop laughing because it was, I think it was me talking on a podcast.
00:13:04.000
The funniest thing that I have seen from this so far is that a lot of English as a second language teachers around the country have sent in videos where they're like in India, Japan, China, and they...
00:13:20.000
Like an alarming amount of English as a second language.
00:13:22.000
And they put a camera in the room, and as they're teaching the kids, they teach them to say, Burt Kreisler is fat.
00:13:32.000
We have tons of these videos where the kids are like, and also one lady was like, draws just a fat guy on a chalkboard, and she's like, this is Bert.
00:14:00.000
Like, I would say that I'm going to be dead serious.
00:14:02.000
Me, Tom, and Push have to go to dinner and apologize to Leanne.
00:14:09.000
I'm never good with Christina's and Tina's and Kristen's and all that.
00:14:15.000
They're one of my favorite, literally my favorite couple.
00:14:17.000
If I was ever going to be like a side husband, I'd be in that couple.
00:14:25.000
I don't think I would have had as much fun doing this with anybody else.
00:14:28.000
A lot of people didn't understand is that we're best friends.
00:14:31.000
And so when I did the podcast with Bill and Tom, people started shitting on Tom and I was like, no, no, no, you're blocked now.
00:14:38.000
If you don't like me, if you don't like Joey Diaz, if you don't like Ari, if you don't like Joe, if you don't like Tom, I don't like you at all, because you don't get me.
00:14:44.000
Because these guys are my friends, and they define my foundation of what I find funny and what I get.
00:14:49.000
So, like, that was one of the things that got shitty about this, is that you'd find people being like, fuck Tom Segura, and you're like, no!
00:14:55.000
Yeah, some people got, like, they got the spirit of it wrong, I think, you know?
00:15:00.000
And they were like, that guy's a fucking piece of shit, and you're like, whoa, dude, like, what?
00:15:11.000
I love the video you're doing when you're playing Credence, Let the Midnight Special.
00:15:18.000
You're drinking a cup of coffee, and then you get on that treadmill.
00:15:21.000
And then the other one, when you're showing that you did five fucking hours and 20 minutes on the treadmill, you ran 22 fucking miles, burned off 3,000...
00:15:48.000
He's not going to say, fuck it, I need a cheeseburger in the middle of the night.
00:15:53.000
You might go straight What the fuck's his name?
00:16:11.000
Like, you know, you go, you go, stop drinking, stop drinking.
00:16:16.000
And then you're like, I don't know, man, you got that crazy thing.
00:16:20.000
It's that guy that can go out, party all fucking night long, get up at eight, get on the field, and hit a fucking walk-off home run.
00:16:28.000
That Gene, that Babe Ruth Gene, who eats a hot dog in left field and then catches the fly ball.
00:16:33.000
I've always admired that in athletes and stars, is those people who can go off tilt.
00:16:37.000
Tiger Woods, when he's got the blown-out knee and the bad back, and he drains the 90-foot putt.
00:16:42.000
I don't like the fucking Phil Mickelsons over here.
00:16:53.000
And that's the way, like, but it's not healthy.
00:16:54.000
I've had, no joke, no joke, and anyone that's seen me on the road knows this, less than 1,000 calories every single day.
00:17:02.000
I've drank in only vodka sodas, and I've run at least five miles a day.
00:17:29.000
I've done it every year, and I've made more money every single year that I've eaten it.
00:17:35.000
Technically, I know going into this, I should lose this challenge.
00:17:40.000
Because I knew I was bigger and I knew that he could, if he wanted to be disciplined, I thought he would.
00:17:48.000
But I was betting on that he wouldn't be disciplined.
00:17:54.000
When it first started, I knew that physiologically, too, I think I was at a little bit more of a disadvantage.
00:18:01.000
What he's saying, Joe, is when he started fat shaming me, he was fatter than me.
00:18:09.000
You've said that that term you think is a good term.
00:18:11.000
I mean, I just said that personally, for me, fat shaming...
00:18:28.000
I go, well, yeah, I think it's just someone being honest.
00:18:39.000
I have a weird push and pull with it because there was a period where I didn't like it.
00:18:45.000
I empathized with, I'll just say Amy because she's the one that gets fat shamed the most.
00:18:48.000
Her and Kesha are the two most fat shamed people in the country.
00:19:01.000
Dude, Kesha Dayoung is one of the best rock stars ever?
00:19:09.000
You've dehydrated your fucking brain to the point where it's misfiring.
00:19:22.000
So Kesha and Amy are getting fat shamed and I would read their comments because I was going through something similar.
00:19:26.000
Not similar because I think most of mine were in fun.
00:19:29.000
But man, they say some mean shit to Amy and Kesha where you're just like, why say that?
00:19:35.000
And then I get some of those and I go, hey yeah, there is a point where like one morning you wake up and you're not in the best mood and you check your Instagram comments and you're like, oh fuck.
00:19:45.000
However, I will say, had it not been for the fat shaming, I wouldn't have lost...
00:19:51.000
I'm going to guess I've probably lost 30 pounds.
00:19:53.000
You do definitely look better and feel better, right?
00:20:04.000
That wasn't happening when I was 250. Did you go outside?
00:20:10.000
I get in, I watch one of those Rock's workout videos and get inspired.
00:20:19.000
Dude, when he hit me up, does anyone remember the most beautiful day of my life?
00:20:31.000
They're coming out soon, and I'm getting all of them.
00:20:35.000
But also, a part of this thing is finding inspiration to work out.
00:20:42.000
I play that, and then you get on the thing, and you're like, fuck it.
00:20:52.000
Anyway, I would wear his shirt and I would do videos for The Rock to see.
00:21:01.000
And he was like, I made a video where I made a line.
00:21:09.000
For those of you who didn't play football in high school, two-a-days.
00:21:11.000
Or for those of you who didn't get pussy back in high school, two-a-days are what us badasses did to put hair on our balls.
00:21:17.000
And he goes, that two-a-days line had me rolling.
00:21:32.000
Have you guys seen Andrew Santino's bit about The Rock?
00:21:35.000
I was trying to tell somebody that I heard about somebody who has an awesome bit.
00:21:45.000
Andrew Santino came up on my podcast last week, oddly enough.
00:22:10.000
It's undisclosed because my dad passed out hard as fuck and Joey just walked out and goes, I dosed Mr. K and left.
00:22:23.000
Dude, the best, though, is that video, the video is so funny, of Christmas Day with Joey and Mr. Kreischer smoking and laughing and trying to stop laughing.
00:22:32.000
He's, like, turning to people like, I don't know what to do.
00:22:36.000
I robbed this fucking Puerto Rican, and my dad's a lawyer.
00:22:44.000
Literally, I called Joey the day before Christmas Eve.
00:22:55.000
And his daughter is like the perfect age for my daughters to feel like they're doing something good.
00:23:03.000
But you guys are like real close to each other, right?
00:23:05.000
When we started getting broken in by homeless people.
00:23:18.000
And one day, Killer was fucking around with ham and food.
00:23:32.000
What you were saying, you just saying homeless people broke in your house?
00:23:41.000
Then about a month or two later, I went to the 48th Street, in the wrong way, I got my godmother's house.
00:23:49.000
I would go there during the week when I had no school and play with the kids.
00:24:01.000
Yeah, you told me that story that someone was walking down your driveway.
00:24:09.000
And Joey's the kind of guy, and this is just, the thing he doesn't say, the thing is just, dog, I drive by your house every night at home.
00:24:16.000
I drive by just to make sure everything's okay.
00:24:17.000
Every fucking night when he's coming home from the store, just drives by my house.
00:24:42.000
I mean, I can't say that I woke up and I'm like, oh, I feel it.
00:24:46.000
But I was, you know, I was still, here's the thing, at my heaviest, I would still lift weights a couple times a week.
00:24:54.000
But I was just eating recklessly, like, whatever I wanted.
00:25:06.000
And Tom cooked us each a steak, like a full ribeye, and then we each got like nine shrimps, and then we each got a slab of potatoes, and then we got a whole stack of greens.
00:25:15.000
And we didn't eat it all, and Tom ate it all, and he's like, you didn't like yours?
00:25:18.000
And we're like, no, it's a meal for like three people.
00:25:26.000
So, I just felt like, you know, and then, honestly, like, clothes, too.
00:25:30.000
It's so something you don't think about, but you'd be like, oh, I want to get this shirt.
00:25:34.000
And you put it on, and you're like, do you have a bigger shirt?
00:25:36.000
And they're like, we don't make bigger than that.
00:25:39.000
You go to Gap, and you're like, do you guys have 40s?
00:25:43.000
And you're like, oh, so I got to shop at a different store now?
00:25:47.000
This is something I think that has been at the base of everything.
00:25:50.000
I also did a Showtime special shirtless during this entire fat shaming campaign, which did not help.
00:25:58.000
Not to deflect or whatever, but part of the reason I started doing a shirtless is I didn't look good in collared shirts.
00:26:06.000
And so I just came on stage and ripped my shirt off and I was a little fat.
00:26:10.000
I was like 250, 260. And people just thought it was funny and I'd just leave it off.
00:26:15.000
And then this weekend I took my shirt off and I'm not skinny by any stretch of the means, but I'm not 260 anymore, 250. And it just was flatlined.
00:26:23.000
And I was like, okay, looks like the shirt's going back on from now on.
00:26:31.000
So wait, so 267, and then on our challenge day, I would say I was 245, right?
00:26:40.000
On our challenge day, I just said I was 245, thinking that it wouldn't turn into a bat.
00:26:48.000
But when I got home, the day after, when I got home- You called me, you go, I was actually 250. I was 250 the day when I started, and then I was 256 when I started the diet.
00:26:59.000
The day I started the diet was Thanksgiving, 256. And that's probably the highest I weighed in ever that I saw myself on a scale is 256. And so the goal weight was around 225?
00:27:15.000
Whoever is the lowest weight win, is technically the winner, but if we're both 227 or under, then the burden of paying for things is supposed to go to Ari.
00:27:34.000
We pick one trip, but Ari pays for the tickets to the trip.
00:27:38.000
Because if you win, you're going to Super Bowl.
00:27:40.000
Well, oddly enough, I'm in Europe when Tom's talking about that game, so I go to that game in a heartbeat.
00:27:49.000
If I won, I wanted him to take me to Barcelona's playing Paris Saint Germain, round of 16, European Cup game.
00:28:00.000
And you told me initially that you wanted to go to the Super Bowl, so I thought it was the Super Bowl.
00:28:03.000
Yeah, I'd go to Paris, so I'm going to be in London.
00:28:37.000
It was based on our BMI. So when we gave him our original BMI versus our height, it was, we were obese.
00:28:42.000
And he said, I bet you can't get into just simply overweight.
00:28:45.000
And simply overweight, the threshold is 227. So if we got under 227, both of us, but if one of us today does not get under 227, then that person has to pay for the trip.
00:28:57.000
Because you were checking your body fat, or is this just a height term?
00:29:00.000
Yeah, it's height to weight, and it's super outdated, and they actually updated, there's a newer version called the Smart BMI, which took into account also the fact that more people are just even bigger.
00:29:14.000
Yeah, I'm overweight by the BMI. But that's because somewhere in my background someone fucked a monkey.
00:29:26.000
And so that became the bet if we could get into just being overweight, which I think, personally, looking at him and feeling, knowing me, I did not weigh in today because I was scared.
00:29:39.000
I know I was there before yesterday morning, and then I worked out pretty hard last night and this morning, but I didn't want to get on the scale because I didn't want to come in let down if I wasn't.
00:29:47.000
Okay, so first of all, let's do rock, paper, scissors, see who goes first.
00:30:11.000
So would you like to go first or would you like Tom to go first?
00:30:17.000
So, we're gonna move over to Tom's microphone over there.
00:30:42.000
Like, I know, but let's make sure we know if it's exactly right, because it may not be like my scale at home.
00:30:50.000
201. So I'm 201 with my clothes on, which is like 199. He's got a rubber suit on, the whole deal.
00:31:04.000
Okay, so for folks that are just listening here, we're in the studio here, and Jamie is setting up the camera for YouTube so that it will point directly down at the scale.
00:31:21.000
He's got multiple layers on, and now he's down to underwear, which are probably wet.
00:31:38.000
He's drying himself off like a wrestling tournament.
00:32:18.000
Now, Joe, my prediction was Tommy wasn't going to take his shirt off for weigh-ins.
00:33:04.000
First of all, congratulations to the both of you.
00:33:14.000
We got some coconut water if you want to get some electrolytes in you.
00:33:31.000
So those extra pounds, like whatever, you know, you didn't drink water, that all made up for it.
00:33:37.000
Should we have to do this all again together tomorrow?
00:34:11.000
You know, that video that I took a still of it and I put it up on Instagram today?
00:34:16.000
But that one video, I was looking at your face, I'm like, Jesus, you look so fucking healthy.
00:34:23.000
Little pieces of dried chicken and fucking broccoli and stuff.
00:34:29.000
I just can't have fluids today and then fucking go to Burt Williams and sweat it out.
00:34:32.000
Are you thinking, Burt, about that pulled pork and black eyed peas and all that jazz you ate and you think that might have fucked you?
00:34:40.000
I think I'm fucking shocked I'm 221 to be dead on this week.
00:34:52.000
When I saw him, we were at All Things Comedy the other day, and I walked up behind him, and I didn't recognize him.
00:34:58.000
I go, you went from the little cuddly, chubby friend I have where we giggle to this dude who looks like he videotapes himself fucking.
00:35:12.000
Bert, you're like real close to getting down to 200 pounds.
00:35:17.000
Dude, considering I did this in like 30 days, yeah.
00:35:24.000
Yeah, well the thing is, you know, I don't want to like, I haven't changed my lifestyle at all technically.
00:35:29.000
I eat so fucking clean right now, like literally except for last night.
00:35:32.000
I've only had lean proteins and greens for every meal.
00:35:35.000
I do big fucking, your, the, uh, hulk cum shakes?
00:35:42.000
I do those shakes like once a day and I'm under a thousand calories.
00:35:47.000
My wife, what's upsetting her is she's like, how do we transition this into a healthy lifestyle?
00:35:57.000
Like, I had to push back a cardiologist appointment.
00:35:59.000
I was like, I don't want him to see me like this.
00:36:04.000
This is not entirely healthy to just drain yourself and dehydrate yourself.
00:36:11.000
You're like a dog that just got back from the park.
00:36:17.000
I watched Chris Cyborg's breaking weight loss thing.
00:36:23.000
And I watched it and I thought, if I can have half that intensity.
00:36:27.000
I watched it at the very beginning of the weight loss.
00:36:28.000
I said, if I can have half her intensity in that moment.
00:36:35.000
And her body's apparently really fucked up from it.
00:36:42.000
Well, it's really difficult to say exactly what's going on because what she took was something called Spironolactane, which is illegal in USADA. You're not allowed to take it.
00:36:52.000
But her doctor, she says, told her she could take it out of competition.
00:37:05.000
And what she was saying was that her body's all fucked up and hanging on to water now.
00:37:11.000
And then she's taking this just to try to level herself out because draining herself down to 140 was so bad for her that her whole system's all fucked up.
00:37:19.000
The controversy is, though, that that same drug is also taken by people who are women who do steroids to minimize the effects of testosterone.
00:37:34.000
It's amazing what you watch when you're focusing on getting in shape.
00:37:38.000
The other thing I watch is this guy, Rich Froning.
00:37:46.000
Like, the way he focuses on working out, it's just like he's almost dead inside.
00:37:57.000
My thing was I'd get on the treadmill and I'd go, just one more mile.
00:38:02.000
This morning I was like, maybe if you're on this mile at a seven, maybe that'll make the difference today.
00:38:13.000
If I have some little things in my body, if I touch that, I'd fucking explode.
00:38:26.000
Now, how are we gonna do this in terms of tomorrow?
00:38:32.000
So you are 219, you're 221. We're only talking about a couple of pounds.
00:38:37.000
So those couple of pounds, what if one of you loses more than that tomorrow?
00:38:43.000
But like what if Bert gets down to like 206 tomorrow or something ridiculous?
00:38:52.000
Well, if we average out the two weights, it's whoever loses the most overall.
00:38:59.000
Because otherwise, we're just going to have a draw or a victory, right?
00:39:07.000
But if Burt wins tomorrow, but what if he wins tomorrow by the exact same amount?
00:39:13.000
Are you talking about total weight loss or just whoever's lighter?
00:39:17.000
We're just saying, what if tomorrow we come in and you weigh two pounds less than me?
00:39:41.000
What if tomorrow Burt wins, but he only wins by half a pound?
00:40:21.000
I haven't shit in like three days because I'm not taking any calories in.
00:40:27.000
Man, this is where it gets squirrely because you guys are on the wire.
00:40:30.000
I mean, clearly Tom won, but he only won by two pounds.
00:40:35.000
I can't believe that because I thought you'd win.
00:40:40.000
He comes in and he's like, I think I'm 227. I was like, oh, Jesus.
00:40:48.000
Wow, yeah, you've been literally doing marathons.
00:40:52.000
I break it up during the day, so I get up at like 6, have a cup of coffee, walk at like a 3.5, walk a mile in like 17 minutes, and then sit down at the computer, see if I'm trending, and see how many views are on my Facebook video, and then get back on, and then I'll run.
00:41:07.000
I'll run like two miles, then go fuck around with the girls, come back, get on.
00:41:12.000
So like right now I got eight miles on the treadmill.
00:41:15.000
I'll do a podcast with Joey tonight, get back on the treadmill, bang out another 8, and I'll have 16 miles today.
00:41:22.000
What I like to do, my favorite thing to do is I walk 100 yards on the treadmill, and then I run 300 yards.
00:41:29.000
So, like, I'll run at, like, 7.5 over 200, over half of the lap around the circle.
00:41:36.000
So the other day when you posted that video and it was five hours?
00:41:40.000
Starting at 6 a.m., ending at probably 9 at night.
00:41:45.000
Yesterday I ran three miles first thing in the morning, then went to the Rams game, put on two pulled porks on the big green egg.
00:41:53.000
It cooked at 300 degrees perfectly for five hours.
00:41:58.000
When you put it on the big green egg, how do you keep the temperature stable for that long?
00:42:01.000
You regulate it with the pipe up top and the bottom, and you just fill it with charcoals, and once you get it to like 225, If you got it regulated, it's not going to go much higher because it's not getting much air in.
00:42:11.000
And then slowly the charcoals will burn, and then it just cooks.
00:42:15.000
But if you open it all the way, it's going to get way high.
00:42:20.000
I have a Kamado, but it's basically the same thing.
00:42:22.000
Have you ever tried it with one of those pellet grills, though?
00:42:35.000
You put it in there and you're like, 225, five hours, perfect.
00:42:45.000
God, what the fuck is wrong with my voice today?
00:42:47.000
You know, if you go to a lumber yard and they cut up hardwood?
00:42:51.000
The sawdust from the hardwood, they take that stuff and they compress it, and the natural sugars in the wood allows them to compress it down to what looks like cereal or kitty litter or something, like little tiny cylinders, little small cylinders.
00:43:06.000
And they take that and you pour it into this hopper, so it's this large bin, and then there's a worm drive at the bottom that slowly turns this stuff into a heating element.
00:43:17.000
And the heating element is inside the chamber of this big steel box.
00:43:30.000
And when you use the machine, when you close that lid, there you get to see it there.
00:43:36.000
You could regulate the temperature, and it keeps it exactly at that temperature.
00:43:43.000
And that hopper, that'll last for, you know, fucking 10, 12 hours.
00:44:03.000
And mine has a direct heating option where you take out that big diffusion plate and you put in these grill grates and it has direct fire that goes right underneath the grill grates.
00:44:13.000
I sear steaks on it and I cook elk on it all the time.
00:44:19.000
And you get that, like, smoky flavor to it, too, because it's cooking with fire.
00:44:23.000
It's wood and fire, so it's got a beautiful flavor to the food.
00:44:27.000
And if you don't want to—what I do sometimes, my daughters don't like smoked food, is I'll wrap some ribs up in tinfoil and put them in there, and they still cook.
00:44:36.000
It still cooks at 225, and then you smoke two other racks.
00:44:41.000
Yeah, it's like you're cooking with an oven, but it's all fire.
00:44:45.000
Instead of gas heat or whatever the hell, electric heat.
00:44:51.000
So why'd you use the Green Mountain Grill instead of the...
00:44:53.000
Or why'd you use the Big Green Egg instead of the Green Mountain Grill?
00:45:03.000
I like the ritual of starting up charcoal and then getting it into it.
00:45:09.000
So yesterday I ran three miles, put on these two Boston butts, bone-in Boston butts, and then closed it.
00:45:18.000
I'm sitting at the fucking Rams game going like, I wonder if the grill's too hot.
00:45:24.000
By the way, went to the Rams game yesterday, I told Tommy, with a jersey that had the machine written on the back of it.
00:45:31.000
I've never been recognized more in my fucking life.
00:45:36.000
I mean, dudes were coming down to my seat going, hey, can I get a picture of you?
00:45:43.000
It was a gift from my management company, and it's a Rams jersey.
00:45:49.000
As soon as I walked in the stadium, big dude goes, the machine!
00:45:52.000
And then I turn around, and he goes, oh shit, it's the machine!
00:45:54.000
And I was like, he just thought it was a dude with the machine on the back.
00:45:59.000
And I turn around, and he's like, my daughters are like, dad, fucking stop it.
00:46:09.000
Have you ever thought about getting one of them offset smokers where you throw logs in there?
00:46:16.000
Put it in the back corner by the chickens and just have a big oil can and they just open up.
00:46:28.000
I had a barrel grill where you have to take off the grates while you're cooking to keep adding coal and wood chips to it.
00:46:57.000
Women like to cook, but men want to cook outside over fire.
00:47:11.000
I'd cook it up and I'd, oh, I'm getting pizzas delivered here tomorrow.
00:47:17.000
After weigh-ins, if I don't have a beard, I will be drinking vodka and I'll be making him drink vodka.
00:47:23.000
Where the fuck is Dollar Shave Club when you need them?
00:47:47.000
I thought he's just a person that is the lowest.
00:47:55.000
So if you get lower tomorrow, you would have to get lower than two pounds lower.
00:48:12.000
There's too many people on Prozac in the basement with their dick in their hand, typing with one hand.
00:48:26.000
Yeah, I was going to say, at this point, he's already paying for stuff.
00:48:35.000
Right now, he's trying to figure out how to unflip his phone.
00:49:04.000
He's talking to someone else and he answers the phone.
00:49:17.000
I just love what he's done like very few people get wealthy and like I've known Ari since he was a He was a doorman at the fucking store.
00:49:27.000
Yeah, and he was an open-miker when we became friends and When he became famous one of the first things that fucking guy did was Abandon all fucks.
00:49:41.000
Yeah, I mean zero pretty awesome Can you hear me?
00:50:20.000
He's in the middle of, it sounds like Legion of Skanks.
00:51:08.000
How funny would that be if that's his outgoing message?
00:51:11.000
I came in the middle of a conversation just to confuse people.
00:51:35.000
Fluids never tasted better in my entire fucking life.
00:51:37.000
I don't know how these professional fighters do it.
00:52:03.000
221. Like a fucking gangster, and then Tom gets on it.
00:52:11.000
They're both below obese, so you have to pay for their trip, you fuck.
00:52:40.000
The Jew in you is trying to save some money here.
00:53:06.000
I would say, but it's hard because your hair is a little flattened up and Tom's a little thinner on top.
00:53:18.000
Yeah, listen, the difference in height is maybe a half an inch.
00:53:34.000
You've got to go into a BMI calculator and figure that out.
00:53:41.000
Since Tom Segura won today by two pounds, we're saying tomorrow Burt has to win by more than two pounds if Burt wants to win overall.
00:53:55.000
If he wins by two pounds tomorrow, he should get the tiebreaker because that's the final non-cut tiebreaker.
00:54:02.000
No, because Tom won by two pounds today, so Tom has one victory under his belt.
00:54:07.000
If Burt wins by two pounds tomorrow, it's just a draw.
00:54:11.000
So he would have to win by more than two pounds, because that's the amount of victory that Tom got today.
00:54:17.000
I think they both sweat a bunch, and this is why we did multiple days, because we want their actual race.
00:54:22.000
So tomorrow's day would be counting for a little more, but we could do a draw, but I would say, yeah, which is a tiebreaker.
00:54:29.000
Okay, so we added their weight up, 6'1 and 221 for Bert, and the overall body mass index is 29.2.
00:54:52.000
We just went with straight 6 feet without even the half inch.
00:55:28.000
That Bert has to win by more than two pounds tomorrow?
00:55:32.000
Maybe let's see who's got the lower BMI. Tomorrow should be the final way because they couldn't have cut or fucking steamed or not drinking any water.
00:55:44.000
No, they can't because they're going to rehydrate.
00:55:55.000
And it wouldn't be fair if you base it on what Burt already knows.
00:56:17.000
You have to bring in a tape measure and have them against the wall and find out there exactly.
00:56:36.000
They're not old to the point where they're shrinking.
00:56:39.000
He's like, my dad said he was six feet and he was really only 5'10".
00:56:53.000
The goal weight was 227. The goal weight was 227, Ari, so you lost.
00:57:07.000
Okay, listen, to make you happy, because you're the one who's going to have to pay, we will measure height, and then we'll measure weight, okay?
00:57:49.000
Get yourself a little BMW or an Infiniti or something.
00:57:52.000
Don't listen to his podcast with me and Ren Azizi.
00:57:54.000
He can't understand the concept of a fucking mortgage to save his life.
00:57:57.000
Oh yeah, you were saying that before the podcast even started.
00:57:59.000
That he was getting angry that you have a mortgage.
00:58:03.000
Because the whole premise was, we borrowed money against our house to do a renovation.
00:58:09.000
You know, your house is worth more than you paid for it, so you borrow against that, take out $200,000, and you renovate it.
00:58:18.000
And then you make your house worth more, but your mortgage is still very small, considering that you've only borrowed a minimal amount of money.
00:58:33.000
He's gonna end up trying to, like, if he does have to pay for this, pay for it in the cheapest way possible.
00:58:41.000
But what I don't understand is he's known me forever, and I've never worried about money.
00:58:50.000
Don't buy a bunch of shit you can't afford, but definitely don't think about it.
00:58:54.000
The best thing about money, the number one thing about money that's the best thing about it is when you make money, you don't have to think about it.
00:59:03.000
I remember when I got my first development deal, when I was 25, somewhere around then.
00:59:13.000
Like I got a check, and it was like 100 grand or something like that.
00:59:24.000
I felt like a weight literally had been lifted off my shoulders.
00:59:28.000
Like it actually physically felt like the stress of how am I... Oh, then there's the phone bill.
00:59:43.000
It's not about, like, castles and Ferraris and all that bullshit.
00:59:52.000
You don't have to worry about a fucking mortgage.
00:59:57.000
He just couldn't wrap his head around it, and we tried to make it very simple.
01:00:02.000
Now, I want to say, I'd like to borrow against that backpack and put stuff in your backpack.
01:00:12.000
He has to look at his phone or ask somebody if he wants to know what time it is.
01:00:24.000
Yeah, it's like he's eating shoes while he's talking to you.
01:00:28.000
He's got a mouth full of, like, undigestible things.
01:00:42.000
I want to be there when you measure their height.
01:00:51.000
How about the fact that we both lost a considerable amount of weight?
01:01:04.000
Right now he's making a suit and some shoes as a tailor.
01:01:16.000
I just feel like, I mean, how much would it cost to fly you to Paris?
01:01:43.000
That's the one that they developed a little bit later.
01:01:45.000
That's supposed to be a little more like, you know...
01:01:50.000
Progressive in terms of knowing that hitting 200 and more is more along the norm for a lot of...
01:02:00.000
You won't register the same way you did on that BMI. Right.
01:02:05.000
So the real way to do it is to check actual body fat.
01:02:11.000
They got this thing at my CrossFit place where they were...
01:02:14.000
They bring in a tank of water, and you sit in a tank of water.
01:02:19.000
And then it tells you how many calories you burn in a day, how many shoes you need to burn.
01:02:27.000
If anyone's listening, Tom and I will totally go to a combine and do a combine.
01:02:33.000
Tom, where the three of us make bets against each other, and just outrageous bets.
01:02:38.000
In one month, we've lost a considerable amount of weight.
01:02:43.000
If you had a time lapse of that, if you had just a show shooting that, it would be fun.
01:02:48.000
And just the call-out videos we've been doing to each other, they've been fucking hilarious.
01:02:52.000
So you've lost at least, like, probably 35 pounds?
01:03:04.000
He called up one day and he goes, this isn't fun, man.
01:03:14.000
Don't you think I want to be fucking eating 500 calories getting on a treadmill every day?
01:03:19.000
If you start with the start weight, it's 48 pounds for me.
01:03:22.000
But then in the last, probably in the last month, it's probably like 20, 25. Dude, pick up that 35 pound kettlebell and realize that you lost 10 pounds more than that.
01:03:56.000
It's really, it's amazing what you guys have done.
01:03:59.000
Just because it's fun, I mean, it's kind of fun, but it's obviously a lot of work.
01:04:03.000
But I mean, because you guys had this fun challenge and it became this big thing.
01:04:07.000
It's definitely, I mean, I feel like you definitely want to live more around this weight, right, going forward?
01:04:21.000
If you take your shirt off, it's not funny anymore.
01:04:29.000
I have taken it off, but normally, if I do a set in the OR, I don't take my shirt off.
01:04:35.000
It's just, you know, it's one of those things...
01:04:38.000
It happened organically, and then it was one of the things that, when I did my special...
01:04:44.000
I talked to my buddy Cowhead, Mike Cauta, and he was just like, you're not going to do it with your shirt on, are you?
01:04:48.000
And I was like, I haven't really thought about it.
01:04:50.000
And he's like, the thing I like about watching you do stand-up is it doesn't seem like it's different.
01:04:55.000
He's like, your first special, you were dressed up.
01:04:57.000
And I get really fucked up in my head about what to wear on stage.
01:05:00.000
That really kind of gets in my head about, like, I don't want to put on a costume.
01:05:04.000
So for me, taking my shirt off was just being...
01:05:06.000
It was authentic to what you were doing, because you were doing that for the last couple of years.
01:05:24.000
First show, after the show, I'll put my shirt on to take pictures with people, but I have so many pictures of me and my shirt off just because it felt real.
01:05:30.000
Let me ask you this because when I'm sick and if I go on stage, I don't feel right.
01:05:38.000
When you guys are doing this, you're draining your body, so it's almost like you're sick.
01:05:48.000
I'll tell you, Tampa was the day I really started when I went to Tampa.
01:05:52.000
By the way, I've been on the road this whole fucking month doing this weight loss.
01:06:08.000
I was dizzy, and I was like, I don't even think, I was drinking a little bit, but I wasn't drinking much, but I wasn't eating.
01:06:15.000
That was the other thing, I wasn't eating any calories.
01:06:17.000
And I think, and I'm sure I wish I had a doctor to tell me this, I think I was probably pre-diabetic.
01:06:22.000
And then when I stopped taking in all sugar altogether, my body just went fucking crazy.
01:06:28.000
There was a set where I was like, I was dizzy and they were sending up juice to the stage so I could get sugar in my body.
01:06:37.000
Yeah, they sent up cranberry juice and then I drove in one day and I was like shivering and I pulled into McDonald's and got an orange juice and I was like...
01:06:47.000
But then right after that, I started feeling good.
01:06:49.000
And then I got to like Fort Lauderdale and I was like, bam, I'm on roll.
01:06:56.000
And then they were doing topless shots upstairs.
01:07:14.000
So it was just everyone upstairs, topless, and if you were topless, you got a $3 shot.
01:07:23.000
And Morty's Comedy Journal was the smartest thing they ever did.
01:07:39.000
Yeah, as long as you're in Indianapolis, you can pull that shit off.
01:07:48.000
We did a live podcast, and I was in a bad fucking mood, man.
01:07:52.000
I showed up, and I said something to the manager, and then I heard Christina.
01:08:00.000
Because I didn't mean to apologize later, but I was real short.
01:08:04.000
I texted this picture to Tom, and I was like, weight loss is doing good.
01:08:24.000
But it was like, it was kind of on the line, right?
01:08:28.000
He was like, and then he wrote like, oops, I didn't mean to send it from the waist down.
01:08:42.000
I was showing it to Paul and Young Ron on their last day, and Dan Marino sat down, and I still had it on my phone.
01:08:47.000
I go, Dan, you've been in a lot of locker rooms.
01:08:51.000
Hey, you were with Captain Lee from Below Deck on that.
01:08:58.000
Below Deck is like, it's chart, yard, I can't say, yacht charters.
01:09:04.000
And they have, so you have like, it follows the crew, and then the guests, right?
01:09:08.000
So Below Deck is the crew, and the guests are upstairs.
01:09:12.000
So it's just like a nonsense reality show, but super entertaining.
01:09:20.000
I mean, like, as a fluff show, like, as something to watch as you...
01:09:39.000
Do you ever have some of the people that are actually the people from that video contact you after you put their videos up as promos?
01:09:48.000
I've had it from your mom's house, like videos.
01:09:59.000
Yeah, that would have to be really weird, right?
01:10:01.000
I wasn't expecting, she was like, posting, you know, I'm gonna come to this show or that show, and I was just like, you know, I didn't respond, I didn't know if it was serious or not anyways, and then she just, she showed up and goes like, I don't want my picture taken, and then she was wearing a shirt that said,
01:10:25.000
So, you really think that you were pre-diabetic?
01:10:30.000
Do you want to throw in the towel for tomorrow, or do you want to go for it?
01:10:50.000
Find out how tall they would have to be to be obese.
01:10:54.000
I've done this so much, I can already tell you.
01:11:09.000
Tom and I have already talked about this ad nauseum, and trust me, I've looked at that BMI scale a lot.
01:11:18.000
I had a physical three, four months ago where they measured your height and everything.
01:11:30.000
I was like, I'm in the middle of this weight loss challenge, and it's not super healthy, and I kind of don't want to see you now.
01:11:35.000
I think you losing all this weight the way you're doing it, I don't think it's really going to fuck with your heart that much.
01:11:45.000
If you went in right now dehydrated, it would probably have some sort of an effect.
01:11:49.000
I was supposed to go in last week, and I was just like, I don't want to go in and him being like, hey, listen.
01:11:55.000
Something's going on with my thyroid that they've never really figured out.
01:11:58.000
So I don't want them to be like, you're fucking with your thyroid.
01:12:01.000
By the way, that's the other part of this is that none of this was like, it's all healthy.
01:12:13.000
Then he'll be in heaven and some other man will be holding his daughter's hand, walking her down the aisle.
01:12:20.000
It's almost like he's got Asperger's or something.
01:12:25.000
When I walked in his room that day, the day the challenge started, I was like, what's up?
01:12:35.000
And then I'm like, okay, it's good seeing you, Ari.
01:12:39.000
He's like, I was going to talk to you about family, but you're just obese.
01:12:54.000
See, he probably wouldn't be so intense about it if he didn't have the possibility of him paying money.
01:13:22.000
He's just thinking about a way to get out of it right now.
01:13:25.000
I mean, we put a 35-pound weight on that scale.
01:13:28.000
But not only that, though, he brought up the height thing to me, I don't know, a month or so ago.
01:13:34.000
And I was like, look, man, we need to know what the goal weight just is.
01:13:39.000
And he agreed it was 227. It was 227. That was what it was at the very beginning.
01:13:46.000
When I got here today, I thought I would be 226 and something.
01:14:04.000
Hey, he's got to film a Comedy Central show, right?
01:14:09.000
I got to film Goddamn Comedy Jam on the 11th, January 11th.
01:14:28.000
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Burt Kreischer, and everyone's like, which one?
01:14:31.000
Well, you've had beards and not beards since I've known you.
01:14:35.000
Like, when I first met you, you didn't have a beard.
01:14:42.000
But doesn't that make your face look even bigger?
01:14:45.000
If it gets real bushy, you definitely, even if you're fat, it looks better.
01:14:49.000
And you trim it, and you're like, oh, it looks like I lost 20 pounds.
01:14:53.000
I went full beard when this guy Evan Tanner died.
01:14:56.000
That's the saddest part of this whole thing is Tom used to be hot.
01:15:04.000
That's a lady who got paid to take the picture.
01:15:09.000
Jesus Christ, you're closing in on that though, dude.
01:15:35.000
That's me the same year I came to LA. That's how I came here.
01:15:41.000
Can you imagine if they had said, hey, get fat and you'll get famous?
01:15:46.000
Get fat as fuck, meet Mike Tyson, and you'll get famous.
01:15:48.000
Yeah, but you didn't have to be fat to be famous.
01:15:51.000
You know, I remember Kevin James had this manager, terrible manager at one point in time.
01:15:55.000
Kevin was trying to lose weight, and this manager was just a fucking idiot.
01:16:00.000
When you're losing weight, you're losing roles.
01:16:03.000
It was like telling him roles in movies and shit.
01:16:08.000
That's one of the dumbest things that you can say.
01:16:10.000
Well, people have this idea that you can't be fit and be funny.
01:16:15.000
Yeah, and then I heard someone say, Fat comics aren't funny.
01:16:25.000
Jamie, see if you can go on my Instagram and see the picture of when I was skinny.
01:16:36.000
My daughters have never seen me without a beard.
01:16:39.000
By the way, if I lose, my son is going to be terrified, you know, if I come home.
01:16:45.000
When my daughter was really little, I had a full crazy beard because this guy, Evan Tanner, was a former UFC middleweight champion.
01:16:52.000
So a bunch of us online, a bunch of fans decided to grow a beard for Evan.
01:17:02.000
Evan Tanner was the guy that hiked out into the forest.
01:17:16.000
No, that's not 04. We performed with the porn stars that night.
01:17:21.000
That's not O4. Me and Nick Thune performed with the porn stars at night.
01:17:36.000
So what happened was I shaved my beard off, and my daughter didn't see me shaving the beard off, and she started crying.
01:17:47.000
I trimmed it down, because if I don't trim it down, it goes all the way up to almost where my nostrils are.
01:18:02.000
I don't know why that says thinking about bread.
01:18:22.000
I have a rash inside my beard, so if I lose my beard, we're going to get to see what Vietnamese children's hands look like.
01:18:36.000
When we were walking through the forest in Vietnam, we walked on this village, and these kids had never seen a dude with a beard before.
01:18:43.000
Because in Vietnam, they don't grow beards, and they've never been out of the jungle.
01:18:46.000
And so we walked in, and I came in with a beard, and they fucking lost their shit.
01:19:07.000
So we brought a guitar over and we sat with these kids and they wouldn't stop looking at my beard.
01:19:11.000
So I go into my bag and I had Skittles and M&Ms with me.
01:19:19.000
And then one of the kids is like, it says in Vietnamese, can I play in your face?
01:19:24.000
So then all the kids started playing in my face.
01:19:26.000
One kid had this funky hand, and I was like, this isn't going to go good.
01:19:31.000
And he gets in my head, and as soon as he does it, I feel everything get hot on my side.
01:19:44.000
And so I've had this thing that I've been putting cortisone on for the last month, trying to get it to go away in case I lose my beard.
01:20:03.000
It's like, if you get a pimple and a beard, you're like, ah, fuck it.
01:20:06.000
You've got some crazy Ebola shit growing on your face.
01:20:17.000
My wife's been saying to me, she's like, you need to shave your beard and let it air out.
01:20:20.000
Because it's just that, you know, you sleep on your cheek and so it gets warm every night and it's like, so...
01:20:25.000
Yeah, man, whatever the fuck it is, it's supposed to go away by now.
01:20:58.000
They're Austin-based, and the guy's name is Bert, the owner of the company.
01:21:02.000
All right, we'll get some of that, and we'll bring some pizzas.
01:21:08.000
They're Team Bert, so let's do Grey Goose and Soda's instead.
01:21:23.000
Yeah, I had a bottle, but I poured that shit down the drain.
01:21:25.000
Jack Daniels is Team Rogan if you want to hop on board.
01:21:41.000
Do you want pizza or do you want Dan's super subs?
01:21:45.000
I've been thinking about this for a fucking month.
01:22:20.000
The weird part about this weigh-in shit is it's kind of fucked with my head a little bit.
01:22:26.000
I'm not saying I understand, but I understand anorexics, the control part of it.
01:22:31.000
I get the control part where you go, I'm not eating anything.
01:22:37.000
You're eating an apple, and you're like, oh, I shouldn't have had that.
01:22:42.000
I understand that part, because I bet tomorrow that first piece of pizza is going to be very hard for me to eat.
01:22:55.000
I had dreams last night that Brendan Schaub was running me through fucking training camp.
01:23:00.000
Like, I had a hundred dreams about Brendan Schaub last night.
01:23:02.000
I dreamt that I put Justin Bieber in the hospital.
01:23:08.000
I beat him with my hands, but then I slammed his head against the floor.
01:23:16.000
He said something about, he's like, nice jacket at a diner.
01:23:23.000
And as soon as he said that, I jumped over the thing and I, like, elbowed him in the face and took him and started slamming his head against the floor.
01:23:29.000
And then it just cut to, in my dream, it just cut to me walking out of jail.
01:23:42.000
Like people say after, like, street fights, you know?
01:23:47.000
And then I dreamt I was going in a car and people were following me.
01:23:52.000
And they're like, you shouldn't have attacked that guy.
01:23:59.000
What's the one splurge where you're like, fuck it?
01:24:08.000
But for drinking, all he had was coffee and water.
01:24:27.000
Yeah, but you don't have to have the coffee to get on the treadmill.
01:24:31.000
I needed that and song number two by Blur to get the day started.
01:24:56.000
I used to play basketball after smoking weed, like pickup games, in college and when I first got out here.
01:25:03.000
Some of the best pickup games I ever played were not too high.
01:25:16.000
If you're dialed in, I imagine it might be like that with jiu-jitsu in a way.
01:25:21.000
If you're dialed in in basketball, you can lose yourself and see plays before, see somebody hitting the hole before it happens.
01:25:28.000
You get in a zone and you're just zoned in on it, man.
01:25:34.000
I probably sparred on jujitsu thousands of times.
01:25:44.000
Many, many, many, many, many, many, many times.
01:25:51.000
It's like one of the things dudes would meet at Tenth Planet.
01:25:53.000
We'd meet in the parking lot and get lit up and then go in there and roll.
01:26:03.000
But you can't learn anything on high when you're high like that.
01:26:10.000
It's not good if someone's trying to teach you something.
01:26:13.000
But what it is good for is if you already know things.
01:26:15.000
You already know things and you just get loose and zoned out and then you feel the moves better.
01:26:22.000
I know you've probably already talked about this, but I haven't heard you talk about it real quick.
01:26:38.000
You could see the difference in the skill level striking-wise.
01:26:43.000
I just think there was a lot wrong with her camp, a lot wrong with her preparation, a lot wrong with her mindset, and a lot wrong with her skill set.
01:27:01.000
I thought she was the biggest threat to Ronda before Ronda got knocked out by Holly.
01:27:05.000
I was like, I think Amanda Nunes is the biggest threat because every fight starts standing and Holly is a very good striker, but The real danger for Holly, I always thought, was her kicks.
01:27:16.000
And that's what she knocked Ronda out with, head kick.
01:27:21.000
Like, a head kick's harder to lay than a punch.
01:27:25.000
You know, and I'd seen her get punched by Misha, and other people had punched her.
01:27:28.000
I'm like, if fucking Amanda Nunes punches her, she's gonna get fucked up.
01:27:55.000
Some people get a head injury and they're never okay.
01:28:05.000
I know someone from an accident, nothing to do with fighting.
01:28:12.000
Sam Kinison was one person and then he got hit by a truck, I think, when he was a little kid and was never the same again.
01:28:19.000
And then also he was this reckless fucking wild man.
01:28:22.000
He was like this calm, collected kid, normal kid.
01:28:25.000
Kind of shy, gets hit by a fucking truck, and then all of a sudden he's this wild man who doesn't give a fuck.
01:28:37.000
I got thrown on my head in college in a fight and knocked unconscious and then was out of it and wandering around the campus.
01:28:58.000
In my fraternity, I had written a song about a guy that I had sung before and I guess he had been upset before and told me that.
01:29:05.000
That's a problem with me is sometimes I cast a big wake and I don't get that I'm upsetting people.
01:29:09.000
Everyone's having a good time and they feel like I'm making fun of them, but I'm not.
01:29:15.000
He came up to me in the middle of the day and I saw him and we were really good friends.
01:29:20.000
He was big and he was like, stay the fuck away from me.
01:29:23.000
I thought he was kidding around and I went up to him and He was like, I'm fucking serious, and he got in my face, and I was like, are you really gonna fucking hit me?
01:29:32.000
And he fucking grabbed me and tried to, and then literally, like, suplexed me and flapped me on my head, and I went out.
01:29:41.000
And I woke up, and he was holding my tongue, because I had swallowed my tongue.
01:29:48.000
And he was crying and he was like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
01:29:50.000
And I didn't know what happened and I just walked around, I started walking around campus.
01:29:53.000
This girl found me in the middle of like, and then drove me, she drove me to the hospital.
01:30:03.000
I kind of started like coming, figuring it out and then, and then my girlfriend and my best friend came out and got me and took me home.
01:30:11.000
But like for like a week I'd go, like I remember one time I went to go get the mail with my dog and I forgot where our apartment was.
01:30:16.000
And I was like, where the fuck is our apartment?
01:30:24.000
Oddly enough, he came back and he tried to apologize.
01:30:31.000
I felt so guilty about beating up Justin Bieber in my dream that I downloaded two of his songs after I woke up.
01:30:40.000
I think it was like the Sorry one and the other big hit from last year or whatever it was.
01:30:59.000
I didn't mean it to you guys, but you were both black guys on SNL. I've seen a ton of people get hit in the head.
01:31:06.000
I've probably seen more people get knocked the fuck out than...
01:31:12.000
Than 1% of all the living humans that have ever lived.
01:31:21.000
Head injuries scare me more than anything because you don't know.
01:31:24.000
The scariest part to me when I watch boxing or MMA, even those recaps afterwards, is when...
01:31:32.000
Because you see it obviously different in slow-mo or afterwards, but when you see that that...
01:31:37.000
That knockout blow has been landed, and the fighter's so zoned in on what he's doing that he'll get in like two more, you know?
01:31:45.000
And it's already like no, like it's over, and then you'll see like another hit, and the lights are already off, and you see the whole head go, and then like a second one is bouncing off the canvas, and you're like, oh my god.
01:31:59.000
And then, you know, the ref, even if he's good, jumps in and stops it, but you're like, that's way too much that's happened already.
01:32:07.000
Mike Pyle fought this guy, Alex Garcia, and he got hit with a right hand and dropped.
01:32:14.000
He got knocked out, and then as he went unconscious, his head bounced off the canvas.
01:32:21.000
A guy goes out, and then as he's fallen, his head just ba-bang!
01:32:26.000
And when he got up, he was out for a bit, and then he woke up, he did not know what happened, and they tried to tell him he got knocked out.
01:32:43.000
I've seen that many times when people get knocked out.
01:32:56.000
And I haven't talked to Doug about it totally, and I don't want to speak out of school.
01:33:03.000
But Bingo was having her 40th birthday party, I think.
01:33:12.000
She had a seizure, which has happened before, but she fell off a step.
01:33:17.000
And apparently she was bleeding out of every orifice of her face.
01:33:22.000
And you know, Doug's, everything's a joke there.
01:33:29.000
And I was in the car with Big Jay and Doug called.
01:33:37.000
I'm probably not going to make it to the End of the World podcast.
01:33:42.000
Yeah, you could tell he was kind of out of sorts at the podcast.
01:33:57.000
Every now and then I'll talk to Doug late night when we're both drinking.
01:34:01.000
And I think we talked for like an hour, 45 minutes.
01:34:05.000
And he was just like, you know, this isn't good.
01:34:09.000
And then all of a sudden one day they're like...
01:34:18.000
We're going to have a swallow test, and if we can get the...
01:34:20.000
We're going to try to get her a trach, because that was her problem, is her vocal cords were all fucked up.
01:34:23.000
And then they got her a trach, and then they're like, hey...
01:34:27.000
Tracheotomy, where they put a hole in your throat so that she doesn't have to use her throat to breathe.
01:34:33.000
You can just breathe right from your lungs to the air.
01:34:35.000
And so then, they were like, you know, it's going to be some rehabilitation.
01:34:39.000
It's going to take a while to get her back to, like, where she was the day of her birthday party, but everything seems to be tracking really nicely.
01:34:46.000
I mean, so much so, Doug is, Doug, the day, like, a week before Bingo had her accident, Doug called me, like, late night, and he was like, do you have $100,000 you can part with?
01:34:57.000
And he goes, I got a line on a cave in Arizona I want to buy.
01:35:07.000
Well, I know there's a house that's for sale that's built into a cave.
01:35:13.000
We each put it in, and then we have our own cave.
01:35:22.000
I thought he was going to ask for medical bills money.
01:35:27.000
And then last night, or the night before last, he started talking about the cave again.
01:35:31.000
So I go, things must be doing good in the funhouse if Doug wants to go back to buy in the cave.
01:35:43.000
My Leanne's like, we're not buying a fucking cave!
01:35:46.000
You're a hundred grand into a cave, and Ari doesn't want to part with a fucking plane ticket to Paris.
01:35:50.000
Because he thinks you're lying about your height.
01:35:55.000
He's gonna roll back every excuse tomorrow, too.
01:36:00.000
You could tell him we're 6'4", and he doesn't care.
01:36:11.000
Except- Remember when he was going to give away money?
01:36:17.000
So if you have an idea, I mean, maybe I'll fund it.
01:36:24.000
Like, how good would the idea have to be before...
01:36:33.000
People have come up to me with some really good ideas, and I'm like, good luck.
01:36:50.000
I would rather have less money and not think about you doing that than to make money from you doing that because then I have to think.
01:36:58.000
As soon as you start relying, you complicate your life when you get involved in too many endeavors.
01:37:03.000
I'm already involved in too much shit as it is.
01:37:05.000
But when I say that to people, they go, you're not even going to happen.
01:37:30.000
I'm trying to smell what you're selling right now.
01:37:34.000
Yeah, and then he was like, people like you, he goes, we'd like to just have you up there on the house, of course.
01:37:47.000
You're giving him a week free, and then you're like, now do you want to buy it?
01:37:56.000
Or you use me to try to rope other people into buying there.
01:38:12.000
Do you remember when you wanted to make a compound up in Santa Barbara?
01:38:24.000
Leanne and I are looking at property in Colorado.
01:38:28.000
Because right now we're at a place where our payments are...
01:38:45.000
Personally, I would like to stay no more than 45 to an hour outside of Denver.
01:39:06.000
You gotta put bear nails upside down so the bears don't come in your fucking house.
01:39:15.000
You know those doorknobs that are like pull-down doorknobs?
01:39:24.000
And they figure out how to get in your fucking house.
01:39:31.000
They're just like, Tommy Burt, arg, arg, arg, arg.
01:39:37.000
Because you can get it fairly cheap up there, especially if you go halfsies.
01:39:58.000
I mean, they're staring at the Rocky Mountains every day.
01:40:09.000
So, how are you guys going to deal with the rest of the day?
01:40:12.000
Do you just go out of here and just start running?
01:40:20.000
Now, is there any concern about the rest of the day?
01:40:23.000
Like, you know, this is like, it's a race that you're ahead, but you're only ahead by 32 ounces.
01:40:38.000
Yeah, because Mickey Mantle was a fucking savage.
01:40:47.000
To steal from Daniel Tosh, just like Trainwreck stole from Daniel Tosh.
01:41:02.000
He goes, there should be an asterisk next to his name because he never had to play against black guys.
01:41:07.000
They're talking about Babe Ruth never took steroids.
01:41:13.000
They stole it ver-fucking-bate him in that movie.
01:41:19.000
And there's one of the compilations of plagiarism accusations against Schumer.
01:41:35.000
Anyway, Mickey Mantle didn't play against black guys.
01:41:44.000
So you're saying that you're just the gunslinger here.
01:41:46.000
No, but what you're going to do, I can already predict tomorrow.
01:42:02.000
Although I probably drank seven pounds of water.
01:42:04.000
But you've got to understand that you'll hold on to more water.
01:42:07.000
Have either one of you guys fucked with distilled water?
01:42:15.000
You can't drink too much of that because it'll deplete your body of minerals and electrolytes.
01:42:19.000
Look, all I know is that I can probably run 20 miles between now and then.
01:42:35.000
Because you're going to literally have to do it before the weigh-in.
01:43:04.000
Long-strand DNA. Long-strand DNA. What is long-strand DNA? It's from some movie that I saw.
01:43:09.000
So you think if you just do the run, then you'll do it?
01:43:18.000
I've got that long strand DNA. You're different?
01:43:24.000
Like, I get hyper aware and I go, I have a goal.
01:43:28.000
Like, today, when I woke up, I wanted a glass of water so bad it was sick for him.
01:43:37.000
You know how many fucking dummies I've met that tell me they could fight in the UFC? I know I could beat anybody.
01:43:46.000
Me and you fight someone in the MMA. And we see who wins.
01:43:58.000
CM Punk would beat the fuck out of both of you guys.
01:44:02.000
He might have got his ass kicked by Mickey Gall, but Mickey Gall is a real fighter.
01:44:47.000
This is the right way to do it, and you and I talked about this.
01:44:50.000
The right way to do this is you have a weigh-in every 12 weeks or every month for 12 months, every four weeks.
01:45:00.000
And at the end of the year you tally up a score like a race to 12 like see who wins each month So the only way to really do it would be like you would have to actually lose body weight You couldn't just dehydrate yourself every month and go under because if one of you keeps going like say if you guys had to do it like if I was in on the challenge and you guys have to do it against me I'm 19 pounds lighter than the heaviest or than the lightest guy right now so I would already have an advantage and So if I just started losing more and more weight,
01:45:29.000
you would have to lose body weight in order to be in the race.
01:45:32.000
You can't just lose 19 pounds of body weight every month like that.
01:45:36.000
So if you started today, and then every month you guys had a weigh-in challenge, the number would drop every month.
01:45:44.000
Like, it's 219 now, next month it'd probably be like 207, next month it would be like 210, you know, 201, and then you would keep going and going and going until you guys were skinny as fuck.
01:45:54.000
You guys would be like bodybuilders by the end of the year.
01:46:06.000
But personally, I think 215 is a really great weight for me.
01:46:14.000
I don't want to be overweight, but I also don't want to look...
01:46:20.000
I'd love to be fucking yoked, but I don't know if I have the fucking...
01:46:28.000
And I had to stop because I was afraid I was building up too much mass.
01:46:35.000
Any weight that comes in a muscle, I don't want.
01:46:40.000
Like I said, I've always, you know, done weightlifting.
01:46:44.000
And, like, six, eight weeks ago, I was like, oh, I fucking...
01:46:49.000
I actually feel somewhat, like, different that I haven't touched weights.
01:46:56.000
And the only way to keep the weight off while you're doing that, you'd have to do like lightweight, low reps, but you're still...
01:47:05.000
And I thought about that, and I know some people are going to tell me like, that's what you should have done.
01:47:11.000
Fuck anyone with any insights on weight loss that's a pedestrian.
01:47:14.000
Like, I hate when they go, listen man, if you're not eating a lot of calories, your body's gonna backfire, start storing fat.
01:47:23.000
If you don't eat, you fucking lose fucking weight.
01:47:26.000
If you burn more calories than you take in, your body has a certain reaction, and that's how that fucking works.
01:47:37.000
Like, he's cut out all the sugar and the carbs, and now his body's burning fat.
01:47:41.000
I think I might have done that, too, except for the vodka sodas.
01:47:45.000
They'll stop you from really getting into ketosis, though.
01:47:58.000
You could drink a fucking Dr. Pepper, and then you take this stuff, and it'll put you into a state where your body's burning fat, not carbohydrates.
01:48:05.000
You're telling me if I put that in a vodka soda, it would just immediately burn that sugar?
01:48:09.000
I'm telling you, if you take a vodka soda and then take this afterwards, I wouldn't mix the two of them together.
01:48:41.000
You're right there and you're already ready to fucking go run back into the woods.
01:48:54.000
Your mindset is, starve yourself, go at it like a fucking savage.
01:49:02.000
You came in here with gloves so your hands could sweat.
01:49:08.000
And then Tom is- I did two miles yesterday, man.
01:49:19.000
Yours is like extreme, short-term, but unsustainable.
01:49:26.000
I'm curious to see what it would be like if my body had 2,000 calories a day.
01:49:32.000
But when you get down to a certain weight, you don't want that because then your body's going to start eating its muscle.
01:49:37.000
That's what happens when your body gets to a certain stage.
01:49:39.000
That's what you have to understand about losing weight.
01:49:41.000
If your body doesn't have the amount of protein that it needs, you start consuming your own muscle.
01:49:57.000
Yeah, but when you think about, like, I'm gonna be, you know, I'm only gonna take in 2,000 calories a day, I'm gonna do this, you will lose weight, but you also lose strength, you feel exhausted, your body starts eating itself.
01:50:08.000
I had that dinner last night, that big dinner last night, and when I got on the treadmill, I felt fucking phenomenal.
01:50:14.000
Like, I got on there and literally was, like, ten miles, or seven miles, not a problem.
01:50:18.000
Yeah, because you had a full rush of energy, sugar, everything from that, yeah.
01:50:22.000
You might have been two pounds lighter if you didn't do that.
01:50:32.000
The bet was he was saying that you were just going to wait until the last minute and go crazy.
01:50:42.000
But if your discipline wasn't on point, he still would have got you because you got down to two of these fucking things.
01:50:48.000
Two little bottles of water, which is pretty amazing.
01:50:54.000
If to win, you have to be two and a half pounds or more less than me.
01:51:02.000
Like if you go fucking crazy today and you go Bert Kreischer.
01:51:05.000
So the thing is, you guys have narrowed it down.
01:51:11.000
But if you go fucking crazy and go full Bert all day today...
01:51:29.000
I think it's the thing, like, I've thought about this a lot.
01:51:32.000
The thing that makes this contest interesting is also the reason we like each other.
01:51:37.000
Because he is very even-keeled, and I am fucking all over the map.
01:51:41.000
Yeah, I'm kind of a combination of the both of you guys, which is bizarre.
01:51:44.000
You have the same brain I have about the way you shoot bows and arrows.
01:51:49.000
And you're like, that's right, I'll just do that for three hours until I maybe need shoulder surgery.
01:51:58.000
You're like, that's why I can't fuck with drawing anymore, because I get obsessed with it.
01:52:04.000
The perfect example of our relationship is that first day we were in Hawaii, and I shaved your tits.
01:52:10.000
And it is the funniest, Joe, it is the funniest fucking thing I've ever been a part of in my life.
01:52:18.000
And he goes to Hawaii and he's like, and he's out there.
01:52:23.000
I go, hey, why don't I shave your back for you?
01:52:31.000
Oh, don't put the volume, you can hear music on it.
01:52:33.000
Good friends, Charlie and Laurel, stand by and support.
01:52:41.000
And then at some point in this, and you can just skip ahead.
01:52:45.000
At some point in this, I realize that Tom's tit hair connects with his underarm hair.
01:52:54.000
I realize, I go, hey man, let me hollow that out for you.
01:52:56.000
I go, you know, what I'll do is I'll trim out...
01:53:00.000
And make it so your tit has defined hair and your underarm has defined hair, but they're not connected like a werewolf.
01:53:08.000
I'll comb it down and I'll line it up so it looks like you're defined.
01:53:17.000
Tom's earnest face staring at me as I do this, and I'm close to it, and I'm looking at him, and I'm trimming it.
01:53:23.000
And then as I pull back, I still see Tom's earnest face going, does it look good?
01:53:29.000
And all I see, it looks like his tits are wearing sunglasses.
01:53:33.000
And I realize this is our first of like seven days in Hawaii, and he's got to look like this the whole fucking time.
01:54:01.000
How have you gained so much body hair in eight years?
01:54:25.000
It's why people shave their cocks, because it makes their cock look bigger.
01:54:28.000
You shaved my titty, so I don't know if I have bigger titties.
01:54:41.000
So what you did is you shaved under it, but you left the hair above it?
01:54:54.000
That's when me, Tom, and Push, and Leanne became friends.
01:54:57.000
Well, that's when I knew we could be friends is because then our wives became good friends.
01:55:10.000
So, Tom, what year did you come to LA? Oh, two.
01:55:34.000
I remember when I was working the night shift at a post-production place.
01:55:39.000
It was like all of a sudden, I mean it wasn't all of a sudden, but like you know.
01:55:44.000
Late night food, really weird hours, like staying up till 4 or 5 a.m.
01:55:47.000
doing the graveyard shift, and then going to bed and all of a sudden you're like, I'm 225?
01:55:52.000
Oh shit, I thought I was 205. You know what I mean?
01:55:54.000
You put on 20 pounds over the course of like a couple shows in production, and then you're not even thinking about it.
01:56:02.000
And then at that point, 225 rolls into 230 real easy, you know?
01:56:11.000
I got here in 2002. By 2005, I was 225. Now, you don't seem to be looking at it the same way he's looking at it.
01:56:20.000
He's looking at it like, this is like a race, you hit the finish line, and then you gorge, and then the fucking party's over.
01:56:30.000
Well, I think, I mean, I definitely want to have a new, like, ceiling of what is, you know, an acceptable weight.
01:56:41.000
Livable way what I've been doing like for the last few months.
01:56:44.000
I mean this last week is a little crazier obviously, but the last month has been, it hasn't been that difficult.
01:56:55.000
Yeah, I mean this has been about 10 pounds to 12 pounds A month.
01:57:03.000
It's doable, and I'm not killing myself suffering to do it.
01:57:07.000
I'm just on top of the eating, and I've been doing cardio about six days a week.
01:57:13.000
Now, if you get to a certain point, what do you do?
01:57:20.000
What's the weight where you go, okay, I don't want to lose any more weight?
01:57:22.000
I think it's less about the number, even though we get so obsessed with the numbers, than the way you feel about it.
01:57:28.000
Right, especially if you start lifting weights again, and you put on a little bit of weight, but your body fat's lower.
01:57:33.000
Yeah, so I'm trying not to be obsessed with the number, but I know I would want to lose, if we were talking about the number, Like 15 to 20 more pounds, which I think is...
01:57:47.000
I'd like to get to 215 and then maintain and eat healthy and eat clean.
01:57:51.000
But I also, you know, I mean, I can't lie about this and say, this is a lifestyle like the people on The Biggest Loser.
01:58:05.000
Remember I told you a long time ago that my weight loss program was to stop eating appetizers?
01:58:10.000
But like appetizers, I love when someone's like, make it rain appetizers.
01:58:19.000
My girls have been eating pizza and I've been eating cauliflower pizza, which I like, but...
01:58:24.000
You take 12 ounces of cauliflower, you steam it in the microwave for like four minutes, you dry it out, you put one egg in there, a third cup of mozzarella, like a fourth cup of Parmesan, and you put it into a, that's your crust, and then you put it in the oven.
01:58:38.000
Every slice is very low calories because it's cauliflower.
01:58:40.000
All you're really eating is like a portion of an egg and some mozzarella.
01:58:45.000
I'll make something if you want and bring it in tomorrow and we can try it.
01:58:49.000
I think after a while though, I mean, I don't miss that many things, you know, food-wise.
01:58:55.000
The really hard thing for people is a shift in the way you live.
01:59:11.000
So wait, you really didn't eat those cookies at all?
01:59:32.000
Impulses get results, but they don't get the best results.
01:59:38.000
My managers got pissed about this whole weight loss thing.
01:59:42.000
Because I'm in the middle of a scripted deal, and I wasn't sending in scripts.
01:59:54.000
They're like, hey, Bert seems to be obsessed about this weight loss thing.
02:00:01.000
And Leanne's like, oh, you don't understand Burt.
02:00:03.000
Like, he will never work on this TV show if you don't respect the fact that this is what he's focused on.
02:00:08.000
So what I was doing was I was setting up accounts.
02:00:10.000
It didn't work out right, but I was setting up accounts at different food places so that fans could send Tom food.
02:00:16.000
And I was like, I wasted a whole day, and then I sent him these cookies that were amazing.
02:00:22.000
I sent them from The Rock to Tom, and Tom didn't even eat them.
02:00:25.000
He just gave them to the fucking people working on his brand new $3 million house.
02:00:34.000
You see, you're already thinking about wings and cookies and pizza and this and gorging and drinking.
02:00:55.000
Including the people that you think you're different from.
02:01:07.000
For real, that's like Ronda Rousey's idea was that she's different than everybody.
02:01:14.000
And sometimes you win and you really do feel like you are that.
02:01:17.000
But the reality is you are a skeleton and some fucking cells and you're run by a central nervous system and your brain has a whole bunch of defense mechanisms that are designed to protect you from reality.
02:01:29.000
And one of those is that it decides I'm different than these motherfuckers.
02:01:34.000
Don't you fucking agree with him just because you're sitting there?
02:01:42.000
I knew that he was like, I'm gonna run 28 miles.
02:01:46.000
How many people do you know, especially beautiful girls, how many beautiful girls just think they're fucking special because they're super?
02:01:53.000
We were talking about that today, about the horror and the danger of daddies that especially That kind of, you know, push the princess ideal on their girls and that make them think that they're so special and then that girl kind of seeks that out,
02:02:13.000
you know, and believes that and then The type of guy that does go for that usually, romantically, is basically a paternal figure to that girl.
02:02:28.000
That is a weird thing that everybody wants to be a princess.
02:02:33.000
I remember being in high school and seeing girls who were like, I'm the most special.
02:02:40.000
Yeah, you better respect that I'm the most special.
02:02:46.000
I am more important than anything in your life.
02:02:56.000
I ran into a chick one time that I think you'd had relations with.
02:03:05.000
I've had too many bad situations in my life where someone thinks they're special.
02:03:15.000
Blame yourself for getting involved with those people, though.
02:03:19.000
I think Cameron Haynes, the ability that he can run those ultramarathons, that's special.
02:03:25.000
Yeah, but if you meet that guy, let me tell you something.
02:03:28.000
He would be the last person to call himself special.
02:03:32.000
We could agree that him, a guy like him, or like Conor McGregor.
02:03:44.000
So what he did was, he got down to 165 And the way he did it was burning 3,000 calories, eating 2,000 calories.
02:03:57.000
He was running like a fucking maniac and he let his body eat itself.
02:04:06.000
Like, he looks very, very skinny, but still yoked a little.
02:04:08.000
Well, he's getting more, and he's a little thicker now, put on a little bit more weight.
02:04:12.000
But when he was running the 205 miles, when he ran that Bigfoot 78 fucking hours, ran 205 miles.
02:04:23.000
That's the difference between that long strand DNA. Stop!
02:04:31.000
The people that think they're special and a guy like him, he doesn't think he's special at all.
02:04:34.000
He thinks the only thing about him that separates him from everybody else is that he works harder.
02:04:46.000
He's talked about it, how he started off doing 10Ks, and then you feel like, well, maybe I should do a marathon.
02:04:52.000
And then you start doing a marathon, and then you do a marathon, and then, well, I want to win a marathon.
02:04:56.000
And then he beat Lance Armstrong in the Boston Marathon.
02:05:11.000
The visual of you with all your bags off the plane and everyone's running and you start running with them and you drop your bag and go, where are we going?
02:05:25.000
And I got there and most of my cousins and stuff are pretty fit.
02:05:31.000
And they're like, hey, we're doing the 10k tomorrow and then we'll regroup and then we'll come over here and then we'll go over to this aunt's house.
02:05:44.000
And I didn't have the, like, just admit that I didn't know what a 10k was.
02:05:54.000
I didn't realize what I was doing, and I was like, yeah, I'll do that.
02:05:57.000
And then I showed up with 0.0 training, like nothing.
02:06:04.000
And I just go, and I was like, how far is this?
02:06:08.000
And I was like, oh shit, because I'm 250 pounds at the time?
02:06:12.000
And I was like, this is going to be bad, right?
02:06:15.000
The thing is, like, the crowd helps, you know, because there's so many people.
02:06:26.000
I was like, wow, you know, I thought, I felt like I ran two marathons, you know, like it was so much further than I had run since fucking middle school.
02:06:39.000
Okay, oh, a 5K is 3-1, a 10K is 6. Yeah, so I did fucking six miles.
02:06:44.000
And then it was that the next couple days were pains I've never, like in the hips, you know, like hip pains.
02:06:52.000
And we tried to go to a movie, like as a family group, and I couldn't sit.
02:07:00.000
Because the pain was just like, I couldn't move, man.
02:07:05.000
It was a shock 10K. Me and Fultron were in Omaha, and...
02:07:10.000
I get, I go on, I'm trying to be healthy and I go on radio and I said, I'm looking for a 5k.
02:07:18.000
And so this guy reaches out to me and he's like, hey, I got a brewery 5k.
02:07:22.000
So I hit up Fultron Friday night and it goes, tomorrow morning we're running a brewery 5k.
02:07:27.000
And Fultron's like, what, we run from brewery to brewery?
02:07:30.000
It's like a bar crawl, but you kill beers the whole time.
02:07:34.000
Have like five beers, run a 5K, go home, take a nap, do two shows.
02:07:46.000
So Fultron and I get there, and everyone's at the brewery, and everyone's drinking, and we're like, fuck it.
02:07:57.000
We have like five beers, and then we're like, all right, everyone line up.
02:08:00.000
And we line up, and we notice that everyone's dressed in hardcore sports gear, and we're not.
02:08:04.000
And we're like, goddammit, man, they're really taking this serious.
02:08:06.000
And we're like, what's the first bar we stop at?
02:08:09.000
It's a fucking 5K. And so Fultron and I did a 5K drunk beer.
02:08:16.000
And by the way, we beat half of the fucking field.
02:08:21.000
That's where it started, at the brewery, and it ended at the brewery.
02:08:28.000
Everyone's like, man, you're really putting them back.
02:08:29.000
We're like, well, I want to be a part of the team.
02:08:33.000
I mean, there's a lot of calories in beer, and there's also carbohydrates, you know, all the wheat and barley and all that jazz.
02:08:44.000
Don't people, after running, don't they like to drink beer for recovery?
02:08:58.000
In the Tour de France, they would stop and drink big, heavy beers.
02:09:02.000
Yeah, I would imagine there's a lot of calories in that.
02:09:04.000
A lot of calories, I think it thins your blood.
02:09:07.000
Would make you crash a little bit though, like drain you.
02:09:10.000
I definitely don't feel like working out when I'm drunk.
02:09:20.000
Here are a few reasons to justify a pint or two after your run.
02:09:25.000
Make that a little larger, please, so I can get that.
02:09:27.000
Although most runners agree that beer is not exactly a health food, there's good news for those of us who like to imbibe.
02:09:34.000
Downing a few cold ones as you're heading out the door for a run is obviously not the best choice, but beer in moderation can be a perfectly acceptable option for after a run or on non-training days.
02:09:48.000
Yeah, one of my favorite things doing is on the road, especially when I was working on Travel Channel, is going right back to the hotel after dinner and after drinking and getting into the gym and working out.
02:10:01.000
I would like to know what drunk feels like to you.
02:10:05.000
Very different than what it feels like to everyone else.
02:10:07.000
Yeah, and I had a conversation, oddly enough, with a 10-year-old yesterday about being hungover.
02:10:17.000
That's the other problem I have is I don't really feel sick after I drink.
02:10:24.000
That's the other problem is no one can ever tell I'm drunk.
02:10:26.000
I remember one time when we were in Hawaii, actually, I remember specifically that he had been drinking for like 15 hours.
02:10:36.000
It was like so many beers and and and then liquor and then beers and he's in our room and I was like dude like how are you not you're okay?
02:10:49.000
He's like oh definitely not not even close to fine right now, but If him if he didn't tell me that I would not know as my wife always says I can't I cannot tell when you've been drinking Because it's every day.
02:11:04.000
I think there's a lot of, you know, the pomp of what I am.
02:11:17.000
Yeah, but people, even if I go on stage, I went on stage one time in Philly, I didn't feel well, and I just brought a soda water on stage.
02:11:28.000
They're like, oh, we thought you were hammered.
02:11:29.000
And you're like, no, I'm just a regular person.
02:11:37.000
But it's also part of my personality is, everything is a joke.
02:11:41.000
Like, this whole weight loss thing is supposed to be fun.
02:11:45.000
I... I could definitely have stopped drinking and been a bore and just been like, I think I could definitely take him.
02:11:52.000
But I like the fun of just going, fuck it, I'm going balls to the wall.
02:11:54.000
I'm sure it's fun, but how many days a week do you think you drink?
02:12:13.000
Burt, I remember when we were the closest of friends.
02:12:20.000
You were a good father, and I loved seeing you playing with your children.
02:12:32.000
I only had two drinks, and I spent the night in a hotel.
02:12:34.000
I didn't want to drive home, because I thought the roads would be crazy.
02:12:37.000
So I drank New Year's Eve, didn't drink yesterday at the Rams game, didn't drink today.
02:12:42.000
And then I get on a plane to New Jersey on the Stress Factory, I'll drink there.
02:12:46.000
So maybe I'll drink five of the seven nights, or four of the seven nights, five of...
02:12:54.000
But that's an unusual day because you're cutting back in order to lose weight.
02:12:58.000
Yeah, but if I'm home with the girls, there's no reason for me to drink.
02:13:02.000
Like, if I'm home, I like a good night's sleep.
02:13:09.000
You know, a lot of times people come on my podcast and be like, I want to do a shot with a machine.
02:13:13.000
And you're like, I never not let them have that, so of course.
02:13:29.000
Doesn't everyone think they're fucking different?
02:13:35.000
By the way, I hate to be the one to tell you this.
02:13:37.000
You're the most different human being that any of us fucking know.
02:13:56.000
But it's my mental problem is that if I don't have things to do, I'm not happy.
02:14:01.000
I just figured out a long time ago, for me to be happy, I have to be exhausted and busy.
02:14:13.000
Like, not burnt out, but I have to even myself out.
02:14:19.000
I think being busy makes definitely me feel better.
02:14:24.000
The worst feeling is, I'm feeling like a lazy bitch just not doing shit.
02:14:28.000
But your level, honestly, though, and he's right, it does seem off the charts.
02:14:49.000
I don't think I've seen you repeat anything at the store in the fucking past month I've been there.
02:14:55.000
Well, that's just because I just did a special.
02:15:01.000
Yeah, you gotta chip away at new stuff or people get mad at you.
02:15:06.000
I see you with brand new stuff every fucking time.
02:15:18.000
I think a lot of people, I mean, I don't tell people what to do because a lot of people don't like to write this way, but I feel like this sitting out in front of a fucking computer with nothing but writing on my mind, it enhances my ability to write on stage and it gives me tools that I can use to ad-lib and do it the other way as well.
02:15:38.000
There's a thing that people say, oh, I write on stage.
02:15:42.000
A lot of people write on stage, but I think you should write in front of a fucking notebook too.
02:15:50.000
No, but I mean, it doesn't inspire me creatively.
02:16:04.000
That's fine too, as long as you dedicate specific time to writing.
02:16:08.000
I mean, if it's just like a walking thing and then you talk into a microphone, that to me is, you know, you can call it writing.
02:16:13.000
Like if I'm sitting in front of a computer, I'm writing, you know, in air quotes.
02:16:17.000
But if you're walking and you talk to your phone, you have an idea and you record it, that's writing too.
02:16:24.000
But you have to, my thinking is, the more time you spend forcing yourself, like right now is the desperate times.
02:16:31.000
Because my special was just released, and I'm doing, you know, I did New Year's, and I'm doing these big shows, and I'm doing an hour.
02:16:41.000
And some of it is, unlike cult legs, some of my new material is like...
02:16:49.000
Some of it's new stuff that's doing really well.
02:16:52.000
And other stuff is like, every time I do it, it's like, is it going to work tonight?
02:16:57.000
And then sometimes, out of nowhere, I'm just taking a chance and I'm going the wrong way.
02:17:05.000
Or I'll do this part, the strongest part of it, leading into the weakest part of it.
02:17:16.000
How are you going to dig yourself out of this hole?
02:17:19.000
Well, the only way that gets you through it is a lot of sets.
02:17:24.000
And then every mistake you make from that, you apply to the next set.
02:17:28.000
And then six months down the line, you have a real hour that you can put in a special.
02:17:37.000
I think you got to be on stage and be doing it.
02:17:46.000
I'm like, what I want to do, they want to book me, because I can sell out these big-ass places now.
02:17:53.000
Especially right now, I want to do four shows on a weekend.
02:18:03.000
But let's talk timeline with both of you guys, because I think you've done, what, three hours now?
02:18:09.000
I've recorded four, so I'm working on my fifth.
02:18:13.000
But do you think six months is too quick to turn around an hour?
02:18:17.000
No, no, I meant meaning for you writing-wise, because like right now I have a new hour, but I go, I don't know, I feel like I want it to breathe.
02:18:25.000
I want it to, you know, I want to give it another eight months and see how good it is.
02:18:30.000
Because I don't know about- What are you guys doing Wednesday?
02:18:58.000
I'm doing the Wilbur January 21st, so if you'd like to come see me in a theater, which is very seldom.
02:19:04.000
I'm not a big theater guy because I don't think my act translates.
02:19:12.000
It's like having three comedy clubs stacked on top of each other.
02:19:24.000
So tomorrow, 11 o'clock in the morning, we're going to find out, is it going to be the water champ, or is it going to be the machine?
02:19:44.000
So I'm bringing in a brand new electric shaver.
02:19:47.000
We'll pop it out so nobody has to worry about AIDS. Like trimmers?
02:19:56.000
Hey, do you have a sponsorship for Dollar Shave Club tomorrow?
02:20:01.000
It sponsors the podcast, but we'll give them a free one tomorrow.
02:20:10.000
They've got this stuff called Dr. Carver's Easy Shave Butter.
02:20:19.000
I got so fat, it was a lot of guesswork, so I stopped.
02:20:23.000
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, 11 a.m.
