I love that the press tours for comedians when they put out specials now is just being on all the best podcasts. It’s so much better than seeing them for 5 minutes on Conan

[@kristianrichardson576]

Brendan Lake yeah the talk shows are dated

[@JA-ug7wq]

Same. I've heard younger comics even talk (on other, smaller podcasts) about getting on Rogan like they were talking about The Tonight Show. Like about how getting to go on Rogan as one of their goals, and it can make a career for a stand up comic in the way that Johnny Carson used to.

[@brek5]

@@JA-ug7wq Yeah, Burt's take on why Joe's podcast is ignored is spot on. Can't make any $ off of him, so they don't care or are actively hostile.

[@nopeteys2424]

J A absolutely, I mean look at all the comedians that have blown up from Rogan. Bert, Segura, Ari, Theo Von...I mean all those guys are talented and they would of gained a following eventually but Rogans podcast is the new couch on Carson, it can make you a star overnight

[@jbsully7210]

@@nopeteys2424 don't forget joey diaz

[@susie7336]

Jim’s wife should go on Leann’s podcast.

[@wtfpwnz0red]

And then Kristina's podcast

[@brandonbombay6338]

That's actually a great idea (I say 'actually' because it's rare to see one in the comments here)

[@nattyrf511]

Leanne has the greatest podcast.

[@randomdude189]

[@patarmitage2250]

I know this is an old podcast but it's still one of my favorites

[@Betty-Boop809]

I just found it myself. Love Jim!

[@catsanstail]

I could watch a whole special of Gaffigan doing his dad's impression

[@emmanolan1250]

My favourite guest of all time, big fan of Gaffigan

[@human54321]

Bert: "You know what you have that I dont?" Jim: "$30 million dollars."

[@nattyrf511]

A likable personality. Introspection Acting Ability Humility Grace True Friendships The ability to let others talk Listening Skills Liking being around his kids not needing to constantly pat himself on his own back

[@tryitout-701]

bert's killing it even if it's not at his level.

[@michelle4688]

@@nattyrf511 well said, he's a dreadful conversationalist

[@nattyrf511]

Mac Matheson, 😂😂😂 maybe, but oddly enough...ppl agreed with me, didn't they.👌

[@nattyrf511]

You really can't see the irony here can you? You know many of the things I pointed out are the very things he points out about himself. Not to mention, he talks crap about everyone. But, you're here, a keyboard warrior. I'm sure your medal is in the mail buddy.

[@awrichards9]

Best Gaffigan interview ive heard. I subscribed after watching this, even though I’ve been a bert fan for years. Great job bert. You know how to make people feel comfortable.

[@Steveuploads]

Aaron Richards is this guy a Comedian? When is the funny starting? I’m at 4.19

[@kerrie2222]

LOVE Jim Gaffigan! Truly enjoyed the show he had on TV Land. Wish it would have continued......

[@eddiewalker7252]

Bert doing Jim's old jokes had me crying🤣 now I'm pissed at Jim for withholding!

[@bobcat9314]

The conversation you two had..in my opinion is what makes life worth living.. Thats was a cool show guys ..thanks for inviting us in.. Life, death, family,,religion..I think you covered it all.. Much respect, thanks, ..

[@dakotamickscorner7637]

As a 46 year old man, finally two dudes talking about things I can relate too.

[@deepsidesurvivor9218]

Right? 👍👍

[@10use]

I love how comfortable and in his comedy element Jim is in.. Straight Adidas and Red Socks droppin comedy bombs with Bert.

[@heathersullivan7294]

This is awesome! I feel like I'm hanging out with two of my favorite comedians, enjoying every minute of it!!

[@PaulMeranda]

helllll yeah- super interested in *this* one! thanks Bert & co!

[@Aaron5Chase]

Bert- "I'm Catholic, not like a good one... I wear the jewelry" 18:12

[@dave3006]

"I think about losing my wife... like.. not in a good way" Lol, I love Bert

[@bangarang1333]

Yeah saying that to a man that is currently watching is wife die is the most insensitive disrespectful thing anyone could do. I like Bert alot but the way he spoke asking him about Gaffigans wife and said what he said was in very bad taste. Never seen Bert be so insensitive and selfish. Speaking of his hypercondrism... come on. Everyone makes mistakes but come on Bert. Your a grown man.

[@mr.sinister4147]

@@bangarang1333at 24min 45sec JIm makes a joke abt a Dr. telling a husband abt his wife's condition after surgery where the punchline is, "just kidding, she's dead." So I don't think Jim was going to take offense to what you're talking abt.

[@Mainlandbandboy]

"You seem to live a regular life. I base that off your TV show" -Bert Kreischer

Mainlandbandboy lmaooo 🤣😂 u r genius!

[@DanielHettenbach1]

Bert, you are becoming a great Interviewer

[@chrisaye1]

When he said "we're all gunna die....RIGHT NOW".... i actually did. Amazing

[@jennifermccarthy7558]

They did a great job teasing with the movie!!! I can't wait to see it!

[@AJ-ik8xk]

This was GREAT! A lot of Comedians I hear on podcasts get worried that it's 'too in the weeds' or 'too inside the business' and worried it's gonna bore people...it doesn't at all. That's what people outside of it wanna know or hear about. It's way more captivating when we see almost the same conversation you'd have just hanging out. Loved it

[@Scratch-athon]

Bert the conqueror! Best show on travel channel! Dudes laugh is addictive!

[@DanielZeal]

I haven't watched this show in a few years (usually I listen to the audio) but I'm glad to see you stepping your game up with the video!

[@marksherrick]

I've heard Bill Engvall tell that dead wife joke before, it's apparently a late night waffle house classic.

[@drucifer00]

This is the headline of an article in New Scientist magazine "Having kids makes you happier, but only when they move out ."

[@hawkeye1448]

I have a sinus cold and listening to Burt just makes me feel better. He is coming to Michigan soon and hope to see his show.

Gaffigan's new special is so good.

[@Stbuster31]

He's only had one ok special. Rest have been killer

[@VideoPunk_]

Rogan "Ever try DMT?" Bert "Ever try Tito's and Soda?"

[@joshuadewez1732]

Jims most real interview ever great job Bert

[@midkingsteve]

Northwest Indiana represent! Jim is from my town. He came and did a show at my HS right before he blew up. He did hot pockets. 😂

[@Random_stuff51]

This is been one of my most favorite podcast so far thank you

[@guitarnut6144]

Gaffigan is one my favorites. The discussion about the list, Rogan, showbiz; seems spot on, and interesting. Another fascinating conversation, thanks Bert.

[@heyraylux]

"You live a very regular life, I'm basing that off of your TBS show."

[@Dimitri2014]

Lmao, so regular it's almost relatable.

[@asap1958]

Jim is a likeable dude. Great podcast; one of your best in my opinion.

Bert's belly walked into frame 4 seconds before the rest of him did

[@gloriannpeddicord9317]

saw Jim on an old episode of Law and ORder. He was a plumber who did not see anything because he was under a sink. Love me some gaffigan.....Old and New

[@monkeyfaceII]

Jim is just out here interviewing the Host again lol he did that to Joe

[@KozarBen]

Carlos EDC people that don’t really like talking about themselves turning the conversation around. Plus with JRE it’s really more of a conversation than an interview.

Hearing bert laugh is the highlight of my life most days.

[@ModeratelyAmused]

Bert: What you have, 5 brothers? Jim: 3 brothers and 2 sisters Bert: I just saw a picture of you guys Me: So I'm guessing Jim's 2 sisters aren't the most feminine looking women

James Morris Bert has a sister that looks just like him. They call her Bert in a skirt.

[@theneck5157]

I have to say I never really watched or listened too Jim , thinking he was goofy and always made that weird voice but after this podcast I like him I understand him and being such a family man I really respect him .. very intelligent but you can see he is down to earth , actually you guys from knowing each other for so long you have good chemistry you should look into working together

[@breanabanana2058]

OMG PODCAST HEAVEN AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE!!!!

[@CS-pi5oc]

U got it. If u drink or smoke heavily early on, u stop growing up. A fam member spoke to me abt starting drinking at 16. I told him don’t even talk to me if u can’t tell me the truth. U started in grade school. He was an alcoholic in high school. I adopted his two kids later. He loved his kids but alcohol took over.

I love this inside baseball style of episode!

[@thealbanianlorg6542]

Hi Bert - I hope you see this comment: in this podcast you refer to the Conan show where you describe throwing the period party for your daughter. I saw that Conan show and cried I was laughing so hard. I thought the whole idea was BRILLIANT!!! Tell your kid that whoever else saw that show had to have been thinking the same thing I was - that it’s a brilliant idea and should become a tradition (or at least a definite option). That party story was hilarious and I swear to god, the best “first period” story I’ve ever heard. Tell your daughter if it isn’t a thing, it SHOULD be, I hope it takes off and if it does she’d be a pioneer in a great trendsetting tradition. I swear to god, I thought THIS is how first periods should have ALWAYS been handled! You and your wife and kids are the best! 😂😄😁😆

[@HIGHTS]

Love these two dudes!

[@ChadSchomber]

I'd love to have a few beers with these boys, just talkin about life. And maybe food.

Gaffigan is a legend

[@mediocreboi]

Jim was one of the first comedians I ever heard, I've seen him so many times with my whole family ya know seen everything. That fucking snake joke murdered me. I had never heard it and now really want to see any older recordings for more of that.

Bert's belly is back with a vengeance

[@treygibson5292]

Thanks for basically giving away a huge part of the movie Bert. FUCK. I was excited to see that too

[@DarthDungus]

Dude I was and am a fan of you first, and now I'm listening to Tom and Rogan mostly because of you. You're fucking hilarious.2 Bears 1 Cave is the best thing to happen to comedy in a while.

Thanks Bert. I watched the American Dreamer trailer and pretty much feel like the thing, "As a Dad you couldn't believe happened" is that Jim's character kills that little kid. Hopefully not, either way now I'm interested. Body Shots World Tour.

Bert. As long as you are flying from LAX you wont lose precheck for flying with weed. You can have up to an ounce. Look it up if you don't believe me. Your concern should only be if they care about it where you land. But, if you are going to have weed there anyway. You have zero added risk by taking it with you.

[@caleb7418]

The way these guys talk about the mother of their children dying. "Well, I guess my careers over!" This is chilling shit dude...
