    Celebrating Bert’s Austin show: surprise guests and “The Machine” chant

    1. NA

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) We rolling? Hey, we're up.

    4. BK

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      We're up. Doing a little podcast.

    6. BK

      Oh, what a great fucking night last night was.

    7. JR

      Fuck yeah, it was.

    8. BK

      Dude, I c- I'm telling ya, I woke up bubbling.

    9. JR

      Yeah, I felt so good. And last night was my first, uh, time in a managerial position.

    10. BK

      (laughs) Yeah.

    11. JR

      Like I just came to hang out, make sure everything ran smooth for your show. It was wild, like to be at my own club where one of my best friends is headlining, and all my other friends are opening for him.

    12. BK

      I w-

    13. JR

      I'm like, "This is amazing."

    14. BK

      It was a pretty fucking sick lineup. I'm, I'm, like this is what's crazy.

    15. JR

      (sighs) It's incredible.

    16. BK

      For... Uh, if you said this 10 years ago, in Austin, Texas, the lineup that was on-

    17. JR

      I know.

    18. BK

      ... last night was insane.

    19. JR

      We've been doing that a lot though. That's what's crazy. Like every... These Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday shows that we've been doing out here, they're just stacked.

    20. BK

      Dude, and then, and then, uh, let's just say highlight of my career, they're telling-

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. BK

      They're chanting "The Machine," and I go, "I'm not gonna tell it." And they, they start cheering it. And I go, "All right, I'll tell it if Ron White tells his tater salad story."

    23. JR

      And then he comes on the stage.

    24. BK

      And, and people didn't even know he was up there.

    25. JR

      Yes.

    26. BK

      They go fucking crazy.

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. BK

      He walks on stage. I FaceTime Leanne. I FaceTime Leanne 'cause it was like Ron's her favorite comic. Guy in the front row's wa- le- r- recording Tom telling tater s- or, sh- shooting Leanne watching it.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. BK

      When Leanne's wi-

  2. 2:433:54

    Leanne’s comedy tastes: Blue Collar, Steve Harvey, and Family Feud dreams

    1. BK

      Well, yeah. I don't, I mean, I remember Leanne t- um, Leanne's a redneck, and when the Blue Collar Comedy Tour came out-

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. BK

      ... on, and she, we went and watched it in Hollywood at the ArcLight.

    4. JR

      Oh, wow.

    5. BK

      And she was fucking... Leanne likes two things. (laughs) Blue, (laughs) that Blue Collar Comedy and fucking Steve Harvey.

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. BK

      Sh- if she's gonna cheat on me, she's gonna fuck Steve Harvey.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. BK

      I can guarantee you. She sends me clips of Steve Harvey. Every morning, there's a clip.

    10. JR

      That's hilarious.

    11. BK

      For the movie, when the movie's coming out, uh, uh, they asked us to do Family Feud.

    12. JR

      Oh, wow.

    13. BK

      (laughs) And now, Leanne has never pushed our girls into anything, but she said, "Illegraes, Christy, you're doing Family Feud."

    14. JR

      Oh, that's hilarious.

    15. BK

      "I don't give a fuck what you say." (laughs)

    16. JR

      Does Steve Harvey know this?

    17. BK

      No.

    18. JR

      That your wife has a crush on him?

    19. BK

      Oh, she has no idea.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. BK

      Have you ever se- had, seen Steve Harvey eat? Someone made like collard green, uh, uh, dumplings or something, and (laughs) he goes, takes a bite, and he freezes and he goes... Now I'm having a black people moment right now. (laughs)

    22. JR

      Ah.

    23. BK

      He's the fucking greatest. Leanne's obsessed with him.

    24. JR

      That's funny.

    25. BK

      But she's like-

    26. JR

      Those, isn't it funny that no one has done like a movie tour like that since? You know, they had Kings of Comedy, Blue Collar Tour, and then nothing.

    27. BK

      No.

    28. JR

      But those were so successful.

  3. 3:544:34

    Fully Loaded tour mechanics: massive lineups, logistics, and big venues

    1. BK

      The four people tour is the key. I do Fully Loaded, we bring eight, uh, for Fully Loaded, and like per show, and we menti- we s- we switch it up. Have you heard the lineup this year?

    2. JR

      No.

    3. BK

      Lewis Black, Dave Attell, uh, Chad Daniels, Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, Big Jay Oakerson, Dan Soder, Fortune Feimster, Tammy Pescatelli.

    4. JR

      All on one show?

    5. BK

      No, no, we split.

    6. JR

      Oh.

    7. BK

      Stavros is on it.

    8. JR

      Oh, wow.

    9. BK

      We got a fucking sick lineup. It's fucking-

    10. JR

      Wow.

    11. BK

      Look at this, look at this fucking-

    12. JR

      That's amazing.

    13. BK

      Tiffany Haddish.

    14. JR

      That's amazing.

    15. BK

      Jim Norton.

    16. JR

      That's amazing.

    17. BK

      Jay Pharoah, Rosebud, Ralph Barbosa. Dude.

    18. JR

      That's amazing.

    19. BK

      Yeah, this fucking lineup is.

  4. 4:349:22

    Comedy “beef” and generational gatekeeping: Barbosa vs. Lopez and old-guard jealousy

    1. JR

      I just found out about Ralph Barbosa. He's a funny dude.

    2. BK

      He's real funny.

    3. JR

      I just, I watched some of his clips, and then I found out that there was some sort of a thing with George Lopez.

    4. BK

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      And then so I had a, the little bitch in me started watching some-

    6. BK

      (laughs) I watched it all too. (laughs)

    7. JR

      Some fucking beef with George Lopez and Ralph Barbosa. That shit makes me sad. I don't like that st- stupid shit like that.

    8. BK

      I don't like beef. I don't-

    9. JR

      I don't like nonsense beef. Like, that, that's the dumbest kinda beef. Like some young guy coming up beef? Like you don't like... And it, uh, I think it's just a misunderstanding, and I think Lopez called him up and...

    10. BK

      Oh, did he?

    11. JR

      Yeah, yeah. I guess they talked on the phone or something like that. That's hilarious that I know about this silly comedy beef, but... Dude, he's funny anyway. Barbosa's a funny dude.

    12. BK

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      Got a funny, uh, laid-back style.

    14. BK

      I think it's just generational. You're talking about like, I think G- George Losa- Lopez is like o- even older than Ralph's parents probably, and so it's just two different styles of, of what you would say Mexican comedy is.

    15. JR

      I don't think that's what it is. I think it's just that George didn't know who he was.

    16. BK

      Oh, really?

    17. JR

      And yeah, like Steve Trevino was on a show and George had brought him up. George brought Barbosa up, and he's like, "Who the fuck is that guy you keep bringing up? Nobody knows who that dude is."

    18. BK

      Oh, really?

    19. JR

      Yeah, that's...

    20. BK

      I just saw the, I just saw Schultz saying-

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. BK

      ... someone went up to Barbosa and he was like, "Ah, fuck George Lopez." (laughs)

    23. JR

      Yeah, I think that's what it was. I think it c- it came from him saying something on a podcast. But I think he was just annoyed with Trevino bringing him, th- the dude's name up over and over again, for whatever reason. I don't know.

    24. BK

      He's funny as shit.

    25. JR

      Yeah, he's funny as shit.

    26. BK

      He's funny as fucking shit.

    27. JR

      Yeah, it's, you know. That's how the d- nothing-... bothers me more than, like, and I don't think that's what he was doing. I think he was just like, "Who is that guy? Like, I don't know who that guy is."

    28. BK

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      I don't think it was like a, "I, I don't like that guy." I think he just genuinely didn't know who he was. But I th- nothing bothers me more than, like, those old dudes that don't like the young guys coming up. They don't like the fact that young guys are coming up. 'Cause I remember being in that young guy position. I'm like, "Ah, you old cunt."

    30. BK

      (laughs)

  5. 9:2212:12

    Reference gaps and “what counts as old”: kids, media overload, and time compression

    1. BK

      No. I like a- I like an older woman, too, now.

    2. JR

      Yeah, I ... Like, imagine dating a girl who's 20 now.

    3. BK

      Oh.

    4. JR

      Like, what? What are you talking about?

    5. BK

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      Like, when I see Leonardo DiCaprio going out with a 19-year-old, I'm like, "Bro, what do you talk about?"

    7. BK

      Yeah, what ... I mean-

    8. JR

      What do you talk about? Unless it's she's the most genius, brilliant, world-traveled, nuanced-

    9. BK

      Dude, my assistant's 25, and I'll say things to him, and he'll go, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. BK

      Like, he referenced a movie, like Ace Ventura, and he's like, "Uh, uh, what is that?"

    12. JR

      Right.

    13. BK

      "Jim Carrey? Who is ... I don't know who that is."

    14. JR

      Well, Jim Norton was on stage last night, and he had a Three Stooges reference, and no one laughed.

    15. BK

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      I'm like, "Jim, you're 55."

    17. BK

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      Like, these people do not know (clapping) who the fuck Three Stooges is. Why don't you just say Laurel and Hardy?

    19. BK

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      Like, go even d- deeper into the old school comedy people.

    21. BK

      Yeah, I c- I couldn't live in that, I couldn't live that life where you couldn't make references to the things you grew up on, you know?

    22. JR

      Well, you can. You know? It's like the, like, Dennis Miller always used to have references that nobody knew what the fuck he was saying-

    23. BK

      But we always-

    24. JR

      ... and you'd catch up.

    25. BK

      Yeah, but we g- I don't ... Like, th- there ... It seems like the gap of, of experience and what we know is, has, has gotten so closer, where it wasn't that way. That my, my ... I feel like my dad and I still knew all the st- same references, whereas my daughter and I do not. They don't know anything that I've ever lived or experienced. And then they'll say things to me like, "Have you ever heard of the band Tool?" And I'm like, "Are you being fucking serious?"

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. BK

      "Are you being serious? I buy the guys' fucking wine. You kidding me?"

    28. JR

      Ugh.

    29. BK

      And then, like, um, the other day, Isla said to me, uh, "Uh, have, have you ever heard of Alice in Chains?" And I'm like, "Yeah. That was, like, what I went to college to." But I d- but I knew clear- Creedence Clearwater Revival. I knew the Shawnna songs. I knew all the stuff my dad listened to. I knew Sam Cooke.

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  6. 12:1216:53

    Cars then vs. now: classics, timelines, and how modern speed broke the scale

    1. JR

      When I was in high school, okay? (sniffs)

    2. BK

      What year were you in high school?

    3. JR

      1981 was my freshman year in high school. And my freshman year in high school, I remember there was a guy in my neighborhood, um, that had a 1955 Chevy. It was this fucking awesome car, this awesome '55 black Chevy that was, like, in mint condition. And I remember thinking, "Wow, that car is so fucking old."

    4. BK

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      Isn't that wild?

    6. BK

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      But that car was only 15 years old.

    8. BK

      Wow.

    9. JR

      That's what's-

    10. BK

      Oh, wow.

    11. JR

      ... crazy.

    12. BK

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      That's what's crazy. If you, if you think now about, like, a 15-year-old car, like, I have a 15-year-old car. I have a 2007 Porsche. I love that car.

    14. BK

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      I drive it all the time. But that car's old as fuck, man. Like, in that world, like to kids, when I was in high school, that, like, a, a '55 Chevy was, like, this old classic. Well, that's what my car is. Like the wor- the timelines.

    16. BK

      That's crazy.

    17. JR

      The timelines are weird now.

    18. BK

      'Cause now you look at, like, my favorite car is th- uh, '72 El Dorado, the convertible Cadillac, and that's fucking 50 years old.

    19. JR

      By the way, I'm, I'm off by 10 years. It's a 25-year-old car.

    20. NA

      25, yeah.

    21. JR

      Uh, what, yeah, what I'm thinking about is, uh, that and, um, my mom had a 1970 Barracuda. This is where I'm fucking it up in my head. My mom had a 1970 Barracuda when I was in high school, and all my friends were in loved, in love with it. They were like, "Oh, my God." They would see my mom's car. "That's your mom's car?" This is insane, 'cause a 1971 Barracuda was, uh, like, it had, like, these grille, the front grille looked like a fish, like almost like gills. Like, look at that car.

    22. BK

      God dammit.

    23. JR

      My mom had one of those-

    24. BK

      Jesus.

    25. JR

      ... in 1981. So I was a freshman in high school, and my mom had had it for quite a while. But, like, that car in 1981 was only 10 years old. It was only 10 years old. So that's a 2013 car. A 2013 car is indistinguishable-

    26. BK

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      ... from a 2023 car. Like, if you see a, a 2013-

    28. BK

      Oh, yeah, that, yeah.

    29. JR

      ... Lexus, like, they're the same. But that to, to, to everybody back then, "Ah, '72 Cadillac."

    30. BK

      Look at that fucking car. Look at that fucking car.

  7. 16:5320:21

    Electric cars vs. racing culture: speed without sound, NASCAR identity, and F1 loudness

    1. BK

      No, but how come that doesn't, uh, translate over to F1 and NASCAR? Why are NASCAR still u- what, I mean, will there be a Na- a NASCAR electric series at one point?

    2. JR

      It would be wild if it was, but they would lose all that sound. I think that's part of-

    3. BK

      It would be s-

    4. JR

      ... the thing that people like.

    5. BK

      Can you imagine?

    6. JR

      Wow, wow.

    7. BK

      Can you imagine going to a... When Tom and I went to the Daytona 500 and, uh, i- i- it, can you imagine it being silent?

    8. JR

      All you would hear is the chatter of the fans.

    9. BK

      That would be so-

    10. JR

      Just-

    11. BK

      ... fucking creepy.

    12. JR

      ... dumb conversations.

    13. BK

      It's like, have you ever seen How I Met Your Mother without the laugh track on?

    14. JR

      No, but I have seen Big Bang Theory without the laugh, yeah.

    15. BK

      Oh, that's it. That's it. That's the one, that's the one I meant.

    16. JR

      It's rough.

    17. BK

      (laughs) It's fucking-

    18. JR

      It's rough. People would get bummed out. I think NASCAR is like, uh, it's a American tradition that's based on moonshine runners.

    19. BK

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      So it's, like, fun. Like, it's fuck- like, you go to NASCAR, you wanna hear the bah. Like, if it was electric, it would seem like it's over. It seems like it's over.

    21. BK

      Are the F1 cars, are the F1 cars loud?

    22. JR

      Yeah, they're loud as fuck. Yeah, they're loud as fuck.

    23. BK

      I mean, but com- comparatively speaking, 'cause I know my sister has a, a Le- what's the Teslan- Tesla.

    24. JR

      Tesla.

    25. BK

      Tesla.

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. BK

      And, uh, those things, I mean, that's, like-

    28. JR

      Silent.

    29. BK

      ... scary fast.

    30. JR

      Yeah, ridiculously fast.

  8. 20:2137:38

    Bank collapses, 2008 trauma, and Bert’s dictator-history rabbit hole

    1. JR

      ... a, yeah. By the way, w- money might be fake now. Money might be falling apart, right?

    2. BK

      Oh, we have bank-

    3. JR

      How many, how many banks have collapsed now?

    4. NA

      We got-

    5. BK

      Wait, that's happening today?

    6. NA

      Sorta. I don't know, I was trying to follow up before we started.

    7. JR

      How many banks have collapsed? It's very l- at least two, correct?

    8. NA

      Uh, there was at least two, it might've been three. And I don't know what happened today with the...

    9. BK

      I was on a plane with a guy who was talking about this yesterday.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. BK

      So it's, so the Silicon Valley one collapsed, right?

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. BK

      And so a bunch of Silicon Valley-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. BK

      This is like 2008 all over again.

    16. JR

      I don't know. See, this is part of the problem with being financially ignorant, which is, I am, I don't know, and also being friends with Alex Jones, which I am. Which is fucked, so I get fucking (laughs) -

    17. BK

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      ... I get all these videos about-

    19. BK

      Perfect storm.

    20. JR

      ... fucking prepect, prepare yourself, it's the end of the world.

    21. BK

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      I'm like, "Oh no, Alex, why you freaking me out?"

    23. BK

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. BK

      I, uh, yeah, I- I saw, I was on a plane with this one guy yesterday, and he said that today's a big day. That it's, it's coming down, where everyone's gonna f- finding out if the fucking thing collapses or if we get bailed out.

    26. JR

      Well, apparently there was a big, uh, run on the banks today too, and people were showing up at the banks trying to withdraw money, which scares the fuck out of people when that kinda stuff happens.

    27. BK

      That's how Hitler became fucking prime minister or whatever, dictator, is he fucking... I've, I've been watching this thing How to, How to Make a Dictator on, uh, Netflix. Have you seen it? Oh, it's fucking awesome. I am so obsessed with history podcasts and history dictators and whatnot. Do you know who Turkmenbashi is?

    28. JR

      No.

    29. BK

      Are you f-... Joe, this is the most fascinating fucking guy in history, right? So Turkmenistan, I think is the name of the country, was part of the USSR, and when the USSR collapsed, he got it. This, this guy who was just a premier and worked, you know, uh, he got the whole country. And he went around and changed rules like fucking crazy. He was a, a dictator, but he was like, he added months so that he didn't get old faster.

    9. JR

      Do we know if that's real? I thought it was beeple. I looked at it. I ... Did they delete it off of Instagram or off of, uh, Twitter? So, uh, Jordan tweets this thing and it's, uh, these guys are lying on hospital beds in some lab somewhere-

    12. BK

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      ... with their pants off. And I ... So, I sent it to these guys that Jor- that Jordan Peterson actually tweeted it. I'm gonna might have to check in on Jordan.

    14. BK

      That was a good podcast with you and Jordan recently.

    15. JR

      Oh, my God. The last one when he was on fire.

    16. BK

      He was on fire.

    17. JR

      He's on fire.

    18. BK

      I don't have that brain.

    19. JR

      Well-

    20. BK

      I always want, I always want, uh, like I always want my viral clips to be ... I like w- ... 'Cause you don't get to pick what goes viral for you. Like you got badass viral clips where you're like, uh, you know, like, uh, "Be the person, be the hero in the story you wanna be." You know? My v- viral clips are me laughing at fucking people falling down. Me laughing.

    21. JR

      Well, I have those too. Me and Theo have a bunch of those.

    22. BK

      Theo is, Theo's great. Mine are legit just me laughing.

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. BK

      Just if, if I can get ... If I can laugh, it goes, it goes viral. There's a pic-

    25. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    26. BK

      There's a video of me and my dad putting a pizza in a pizza oven. Have you seen it?

    27. JR

      Yes.

    28. BK

      It's ... 'Cause it went viral on TikTok.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. BK

      And I'm like, I'm not even in the goddamn video. I'm not ev- ... It's just me and him laughing. And we have ... And apparently we have the exact same laugh. We talk, we go, "Whe." That's the fucking disk.

    BDSM, sex gadgets, and shock stories: dominatrix culture and ‘CEO clients’

    1. JR

      Can you imagine trusting a robot on your dick? Like, what if it breaks?

    2. BK

      Oh, no, I've done it.

    3. JR

      What if it goes wrong?

    4. BK

      I've done it.

    5. JR

      Have you?

    6. BK

      Yeah, of course.

    7. JR

      With that?

    8. BK

      No. N- not that thing, but I've had the ... There's a blowjob thing that-

    9. JR

      That thing looks too strong.

    10. BK

      Tom and I got a bunch of sex toys for two bears to try them out and, uh, the only ones we tried out were the anal ... We did butt plugs and, uh-

    11. JR

      Put them in your own butt?

    12. BK

      Well, we tried. It's really hard to get a butt plug-

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. BK

      ... in your ass. You'd be shocked. (laughs) It's ... I think, I think I can get them-

    15. JR

      Some gals have begged to differ.

    16. BK

      I, I ... Dude, I don't know how they do it. I think you gotta have someone put a butt plug in your ass 'cause I don't think you-

    17. JR

      Could do it yourself?

    18. BK

      Uh, it's too hard. I mean, both of us tried pretty aggressively.

    19. JR

      Oh.

    20. BK

      But, but one of the things we got-

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. BK

      One of the things we got was a blowjob machine. It's like a ... It's a electronic blowjob machine.

    23. JR

      Somebody mentioned that on the podcast once, right? In the ... Didn't they send us some? And we're like, "Get the fuck out of here with this thing."

    24. NA

      We have s- yeah, we have something out there.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. NA

      Do you wanna try it?

    27. JR

      No, we don't wanna try.

    28. NA

      (laughs)

    29. BK

      I mean, ha- bring it in. Let's see what it-

    30. JR

      This is huge.

    Extreme porn records and relationship boundaries: Annabel Chong and ‘don’t ask body count’

    1. JR

      There was a doc- I was- I wanted to bring this up earlier 'cause I forgot about it. There was a documentary that they did about this woman who participated in 100-man gangbang. It was, like, an open public gangbang, and she was very intelligent. Like, a very smart person who was, like, a college student at the time. Like, an, uh, an Asian lady, if I remember correctly.

    2. BK

      Really?

    3. JR

      Yeah. And she, you know, was kind of relaying what it was like to have all these people inside of her and talking about the fingernails scratching her. 'Cause there was just men off the street that participated in these gangbangs. Like, guys could just sign up and fuck this famous porn star.

    4. BK

      What, but what, I mean, I, I'm just- help, from a health way.

    5. JR

      How many of those? Oh, it's just craziness. I don't understand it.

    6. BK

      She's getting herpes.

    7. JR

      But there was th- there's this thing that was going on for a while, where there were, there was records to see, like, who had the biggest gangbang. There was another woman who was, like, in competition with her at first. Remember that?

    8. NA

      I remember the Houston 500.

    9. JR

      That's right.

    10. BK

      Houston 500.

    11. JR

      Houston... I think she-

    12. NA

      She ended up being 600, I think, is what at the end of the day.

    13. BK

      600 men?

    14. JR

      She fucked, like, 600 different men.

    15. NA

      (laughs) yeah.

    16. JR

      Yeah. Over a period of, like, many, many hours.

    17. NA

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      But, uh, I think this other woman did a gangbang movie. See if you can find that movie.

    19. BK

      Can I see, can I see what she looks like?

    20. JR

      'Cause it was a movie about it.

    21. NA

      The Houston 500 was the s- the s- uh, the-

    22. JR

      Right, but that's not the one with the smart lady.

    23. NA

      Okay.

    24. JR

      The smart lady was, uh, there was a, a documentary about an Asian porn star who did a massive gangbang, but there's like... It just, it was just weird because they, like, if I remember it correctly, it was quite a long time ago, like 20 years ago, but they were talking to her about it, like, what was it, the experience like, and I was like-

    25. NA

      I think this is.

    26. JR

      Yes.

    27. BK

      Is this her?

    28. JR

      Annabel Chong, that's it.

    29. NA

      Yeah, um...

    30. BK

      Why?

  12. 55:021:07:25

    Success, gratitude, and Joe’s ‘no destination’ principle (plus health as the real wealth)

    1. BK

      ... if you told me, I would, I would never imagine that I'd be where I am today when I first did this podcast. Like, the first day I did this podcast, and I got in the car with Red Band and I had 3,000 followers on Twitter.

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. BK

      And I, we were driving home and I was wasted. And I was like, "That was funny as shit." To tell me that I am today w- you know, that I'm in the middle of an arena tour, I have a movie coming out, I have a Netflix special on my fifth fucking special, I, I, I'm just, I, I, I'd never th-... I don't deserve it. I, like, I don't, I don't, I don't feel like I've... I feel like there's so many people so much better than me, I just-

    4. JR

      It's not about that. You d- you definitely deserve it. And, you know, it's not like so many people deserve it. No, it doesn't exist for them. You'd made a thing. You figured out a path, and you got through, and it's, it's great and people love it. It's like, it's not a matter of whether or not you deserve it. Of course you deserve it.

    5. BK

      I was lucky. I was lucky in that-

    6. JR

      Everyone's lucky.

    7. BK

      ... I fucked up. I, I, I went, I... There's a couple things of advice that I'm really glad I took. The number one, number one bit of a- advice I, that I'm glad I took is when you came up to me at the Icehouse with the, with the whiskey, shots of Jack and, and two beers, and you said, "Hey, we're trying to be your friend. You gotta let us." And I, I did not want any friends. I did not want a fucking friend. I had my kids and my f- wife. I was good. And I remember you were like, "Just, we're trying to be your friend. Just let us be our friend." And I was like, I'm so grateful that it was you that said it in that moment and that I, I listened. Because I, the group of friends I have now is so wide and so thick, and it's because of that one moment, 'cause I, I just was like, "Fuck comics. They're crazy. Fuck famous people."

    8. JR

      Well, I knew that you had had some bad experiences with some other comics that we know.

    9. BK

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      One, one in specific that we know that's out of his fucking mind. And I was like, "Dude, you just, you, you, you met some bad (laughs) people. That's all it is." Like, "we, this is a good group."

    11. BK

      I remember.

    12. JR

      Like, "We love you."

    13. BK

      I remember saying to Red Band, uh, we were at the Improv, this was before I met you, and I said, I kind of met Red Band and I knew Ari. And I said, "So what's wrong with Joe?"

    14. JR

      (buzzing sound)

    15. BK

      And they're like, "What?" And I go, "What's wrong with, like, what's he's, is he, is he gay or what's-"

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. BK

      ... "what's his thing?" And they're like, "What do you mean?" And I was like, I was like, "No one's ever this nice. Like, something's going on. He needs something, he wants something. What's he trying to get?" And they were like, "Nothing." And then Ari did this, like, this little, "Oh, let me tell you... Never paid for a meal around Joe, fly first class, put up nice, treats us right. He's the greatest guy in the fucking world." And I was like, "Hmm, okay."

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. BK

      "I'll wait till he tries to kiss me and then I'll-"

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. BK

      "... tell you guys." And then, and then, uh, and then you and Bill telling me that my TV show sucked and I needed to get, still focus on standup. I we- I'm glad I listened to that. It's, like, amazing. If you, if I didn't, I mean, I had, obviously, you know, my respect I have for you, but I have the same for Bill. And that, that-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. BK

      And then, and then that phone call you gave me in Vietnam.

    24. JR

      Well, I was high, and I was in the green room of The Comedy Store.

    25. BK

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      And I called you up just 'cause I missed you.

    27. BK

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      I was like, "What's he up to?" And then when you answered and you're like, "I'm on a motorcycle! I'm in Vietnam!" It was like an overwhelming voice in my head was like, "You gotta get this guy to quit that fucking show." I was like, "You gotta quit that show." Like, "You have to quit."

    29. BK

      Yeah, I know.

    30. JR

      I'm like, "Bert, you're too funny." I go, "You'd be a, you should be a huge standup comedian."
