[@MacLethal]

This was a great conversation. Been a David Cross fan for a long time, and was genuinely curious about how he’d react to Burt’s conversation style. He was very empathetic and patient with him. The compassionate side of David is the best.

[@je__.]

thats how ure supposed to treat a fan.. right? 😂

[@afishcalledjuan]

David Cross is so great that I'm listening to a Bert Kriescherer podcast!

[@BusterDuglas]

lmao...i just clik'd a Kimmel for my very 1st time today b'cuz Bill Burr

[@JoeAndrewHouston]

Haha, yeah with Bert, has to be someone I really wanna listen to. Nice guy tho

[@DxeDrakine]

Bert - "How did you and Bob meet?! ..." ( Bert keeps talking and within seconds the question is going... going... Gone! ) Haha

[@disparityband]

I just wanted everyone to know that a few years ago David Cross liked my tweet. It's really made it all worth it. Keep your head up, yall.

[@legibby]

Hahahaha you should use that event to catapult you into motivational speaking or something bro

[@hob976]

I think "Mr Show" was one of the greatest shows EVER made. I've pry seen all 3 seasons about 15 times. If I run into it, it's a lock. I gotta watch it. I saw David Cross in Asheville too.

[@adamnapier7491]

That’s perfectly understandishable.

[@friendbesto2599]

My shoes hurt

[@Kelly-in7xt]

This was such a good episode. So happy it was 2 hours long… I was not ready for this to end after 40 mins. Thanks Bert 😊

[@Belznis]

He was so good in arrested development. I know he was a comedian before, but that show was something else.

[@DxeDrakine]

Yes! Can’t wait for the David Cross podcast!

[@rvbball1]

Really wish I could've heard more from David in this interview. The one story he did get out about meeting Bob was great.

[@samanthab1923]

If I remember right it was thru Odenkirks GF at the time, Janine Garafalo.

[@SweatervestQuartet]

I've loved David Cross ever since Small Soldiers! Only later growing up did I get the pleasure of discovering him as a comedian.

[@o8rourke]

The “I didn’t know you were both into musical theater” made my day

[@chetjump5744]

Bert: I’ve never read a book! Also Bert 5 seconds later: I love to read non-fiction! 🤣🤣

[@kevintatten4464]

He lies about everything .. too obviously tbh

[@Mitth.Raw.Nurudo]

He’s a comedian. Somethings they say things that aren’t exactly true because it’s funny. It’s commonly referred to as a “joke”

[@chetjump5744]

@@Mitth.Raw.Nurudo bro I love Bert, he’s just quirky and I acknowledge it. I’m not hating and definitely not trying to start any anti Bert rallies over here

[@samanthab1923]

I’m a minute in & already feel bad for David 😢

[@je__.]

​@@Mitth.Raw.Nurudohe loves non-fiction books.. the thing is, it's audiobook, so basically he didnt actually read those books, right?😂 well he is also dyslexic so i cant even imagine how long would it take for him to actually read a whole book, dont u see how he read most of his sponsors ad?! 😂😂

[@jamesm3392]

Bert: I've never read a book Also Bert less than 1 minute later: I only love non-fiction

[@je__.]

he listens to audio book and not actually read it 😂

[@Madagon367]

'I made my career out of self promotion.' Say what you will about Bartz but he actually has good grasp on reality when it comes to himself.

[@treignsinblood]

David Cross is going to kick ass in the podcast world

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

Bert baby stop cutting off the guests bro haha 😂😂❤❤

[@dkarahtee5340]

It's good to see bertcast in my algorithm again dude! Nice job and keep it up

[@GiovanniPeluso]

David Cross podcasting with Bert's dad, I would pay anything to witness that.

[@juanitabrown9700]

Oh hell yea!!! David was a bit disrespectful there.

[@jenbb3923]

It would be gold. Shitty parenting 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@wesleythierolf1175]

Dude, you’re a famous entertainer. Just ride the wave however you have to and we’ll all STILL LOVE your work on stage.

[@MaxJam684]

This was such a fun episode. I could’ve watched 10 hours of you guys shooting the shit! Can’t wait for the next show.

[@MMarch831]

I love the conversational tangent style because it’s authentic and clearly comes naturally to Bert. 2 absolute GD legends.

[@sirsmokeefortwence25]

They kept talking about a comic named Janeane who I wasn't familiar with. If I'm correct it's Janeane Garofalo. I like to put a face to the name when I listen to these, so that's the name to look up! :) I also want to say Bart was doing a little better not interrupting as much lol

[@jacksallyco]

One of the best episodes for sure. Amazing energy. Much love ❤

[@cableu3888]

Bert cracking up about somebody stumbling into an arena show not knowing what was going on, while not realizing Bob and David literally have that exact sketch except for a wrestling match😂 God bless his adorable heart!

[@GAlanHassell]

I can see this turning into a really great personal and business relationship. They click in a special way that I wouldn't have imagined.

[@Kzds4909]

I'm glad Bert's doing longer format podcasts. 👌🏼

[@drivehard2395]

Bert casting the biggest wake is the most perfect description of him. I'm dying.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Wonder Showzen is still one of the funniest shows to ever grace the screen, David Cross rules hahaha!!

[@Lilstanklegss]

Bert your standup and jokes have helped me laugh during tough times. Your family is even hilarious. I'm a bit cold like Tom and don't like saying these things. But you're awesome and have amazing ideas. Be sure to let them guys know you're the Athletic Champ ☺️

[@MrRandom616]

Also bunt getting protective over David's security needs is adorable

[@lga9046]

The 'New Freeland' skit on Mr. Show, that's my standout

[@JustinRaySarten]

Just wanna say I have been a huge fan of David Cross since the beginning and I personally loved the chipmunks movie and only watched them because David was in it and I was in my teens.

[@davidlanier2290]

Seen both of you from the beginning.. Thank you for the laughs. Still alive because of the laughter -

[@CountGremlin]

David Cross is a legend! Love him in Alvin & the Chipmunks 🤣

[@TheUnholyPosole]

...a legendary btch

[@prodJaxStax]

my real introduction to david cross and where my love for him began lol

[@prairietan]

This a re-upload from like 2 months or so ago.

[@cargotrailerkenny4481]

It comes up over and over on stand-up comedy talk show podcasts I watch and subscribe to. This is such a superior format Both for the comedian and the viewer. I enjoy it so much. I love the spontaneity, the stories, And I love all the sidetrack subjects that come up along the way during the telling of one story or people walking in front of the camera or noise or racket in the background

[@laurenreese3217]

Just purchased my Fully Loaded tickets for New Orleans! Can’t wait ❤

[@douglasmijangos3327]

This was a fun Podcast 😂 we should all give David “A Standing Ovation 👏“ 😂

[@jond661]

35:15 David does a @rickglassman 36:53 Bert shows that he was Influenced by @RickGlassman

[@justinman54]

Shoutout small soldiers!!! That and Mr. Show are what I think of when I think of Cross.

[@korbindallas8224]

Here let me ask you a question, and then cut you off repeatedly when you try to answer it lol

[@john.ellmaker]

Crazy, I used to be the projectionist at the Englert in Iowa City in the 90s when it was a double movie theater with a divider down the middle. I was responsible for a Rocky Horror midnight showing where the old film broke and I had to splice it on the fly in sheer panic. Cool to hear it’s still in use today

[@Techn9que]

Happy to see that the keto diet is working so well for Santa Claus, he looks great

[@williammartin4368]

Snapped my collar bone in half tonight this helped

[@jowie_wowie]

Saw David Cross at the Egg in Albany, amazing show. Also they won't allow drinks in the theater, get drinks ahead at Hillstreet Cafe or Excelsior Pub, both in walking distance !

[@Choscura]

David Cross has the most harrowing story about flying squirrels

[@douglasmijangos3327]

The first thing I remember of David was when he was on the Drew Carry show 😂 when he dressed up like Drew and wanted to kill him and take over his life 😂 that was so hilarious bruh 😂 and now seeing him a couple years back on Modern Family was so hilarious too 😂 he’s been on so many funny things bruh😂

[@matthewcicchetti]

Love you guys great podcasts!

[@feliciavaldez8554]

His wife Amber Tamblyn has written a great dark romance. Love em BOTH! 🔥🔥🔥

[@BryceLK]

The pants lady he's banging?

[@kevinhoy6782]

David is so good on podcasts

[@matearl1989]

I could watch David Cross have a conversation with a tree. It’d be funny no matter what.

[@michaelcooperwoti]

I'm 36 and I love those chipmunk movies....happy 420 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@Blake-gh8xl]

This was good!

[@eddo00]

One of the greatest lines in Television history "I'm afraid I just blew myself."

[@samanthab1923]

Almost as good as Dr Tobias Funke Analrapist

[@BryceLK]

"Tertiary" comes after secondary, basically, for anyone who didn't follow that explanation. In order, it's primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, and denary. There are more, but tertiary itself is already rare and I don't think I've ever heard anything beyond that used casually.

[@josearagon8261]

With David Cross, I can never tell when he's being serious and when he's doing a bit.

[@user-on6dn1zq6l]

Love the pixel. My husband uses an app to transfer when getting a new cell phone (he's an IT guy), moves everything. Don't rely on the phone to do it.

[@sugamanspodcast]

Love the new studio!

[@mikebikepills]

Just started rewatching arrested development 2 days ago.

[@gigerisdead7037]

David did such a great job of interviewing Burnt. I don't know why David hasn't had him on his podcast before!

[@saxmafia]

Love Davis Cross. Don't agree with much he says, but I love him and his sense of humor.

[@clevermissfox]

He's a comic, he doesn't agree with much he says either

[@Tsureiki]

@@clevermissfox I'm not too sure about that. When someone with complete seriousness says "I want to punch up, not punch down" I think you have to agree with what your saying or it wouldn't matter what target your jokes are aimed towards.

[@nomames7123]

This is usually the first sign to a right-winger in denial who realizes he's not really a right winger

[@harrymothowl8923]

Definitely a left winger but he’s clever and also Tobias

[@matearl1989]

New intro format is way better. We know you’re always on tour. Thanks for changing it.

[@zachleprieur2871]

Yes! Thank you David for saying it, it is how a conversation is. People in the comments act like they never had one.

[@victorgreen1176]

I’ll watch David Cross in anything, thanks Bert

[@jameskirk6163]

Can't wait for the CrossPod

[@clintgirodat9142]

Hey Bert. So some restaurants wont let you order a pitcher of beer unless 2 people are drinking it so i have to say its for me and my wife and then we order her a separate glass of wine. But yes take advantage of that extra drink. Cant wait to see The Machine keep on keeping on buddy !!!!!😊😊😊

[@The_AA_Meetings]

David cross is my favourite podcast guest tbh

[@grapesoftime]

36:48 he's been listening to Rick Glassman a lot I see lol

[@Jimboslicevr6]

Finally get notification for Bert

[@idontknowmuch3441]

I would love if Dave went on a podcast w a host that has their own personality and ideas

[@gabby_moloko]

Dunno why, but it always makes me happen when anyone even passingly mentions maron lol

[@jakehutchens]

Legendary 💯

[@Bleepbloopblappp]

I’d love to see David on rogan’s show because I’m positive He doesn’t like joe. Could be contentious but with a guy as funny as David cross that would be hilarious

[@Ottophil]

Nobody likes joe

[@Nics-D-Ace]

How do you know he doesn't like him Sure you're not just making crap up about complete strangers

[@Bleepbloopblappp]

@@Nics-D-Ace He's made comments over the past few years denigrating comedians who speak out against cancel culture and those who feel they need to have the ability to potentially offend audience members in order to have artistic integrity, which are things Rogan (among others) is sort of known for endorsing. Rogan is one of the more well known people in the current climate, and David is a smart guy, so I doubt he would make statements that sound like they could be talking shit about Rogan if he didn't intend to. But, I made sure to say "because I'm positive" when I said my comment. alluding to it being my opinion

[@jaredknapp8886]

I would love to not have to indulge in a joe rogan experience when im enjoying my david cross content. Because they are mutually exclusive. One is a person I like and the other has a spotify contract based on typical bro clickbait.

[@jaredknapp8886]

I know that i'm here because of bart chrysler, who is himself, a bro. However, he's a reformed character and I have more in common with him than Stephen Seagal Rogan.

[@jamminbeans9231]

I came here to watch David Cross fuck with Bert like Louis CK did.

[@integralmark]

this is great, keep on topic just a BIT MORE. thank you. (commenter starts weeping and wondering if he's written too much...)

[@deepjunky]

Love Love Love

[@tasmith8296]

Are there clips of Bert doing morning radio?

[@Mgray187]

Would he be upset to know that Ill always remember him from Small soldiers?? 😂

[@weld4beer106]

Here for the party 🎉

[@wm1pyro]

It would be neat to hear Bert do an overkill episode of Brian Quinn's TESD pod

[@indivisible885]

How is it that I recognize his voice but can't remember where Ive seen him before? This isn't making sense to me!

[@NA-lp2re]

This podcast must have been filmed months ago. Wondering why the delay.

[@BigMacflows]

David Cross saying “bring your dad on, I’ll do a podcast with him”… you can tell he was ready to roast his ass on politics. Would be hilarious to see.

[@hhaste]

I have no clue about anything related to this, I'm not sure who any of those people are.. but saying he was "ready to roast" his politics, is like saying only *HE* is correct and only his political views are the right ones, not the other persons.... pretty stupid thing to say.

[@DAVIDMICHAEL11]

David, I have absolutely no proof of this but…your pupils this and last episode I saw shark pupils. Empty, dark, killer or…high on ….

[@mikkiedii4782]

FOR GOD SAKE! LET THE MAN TALK, BERT!!

[@phenomenalwoman6111]

The zoom out showing Bert's naked tootsies at the end 😆

[@sonyadean8734]

Bert, when are you planning on touring here?

[@JoeAndrewHouston]

Hate the clips in the beginning of podcasts that show you what you are about to watch. Bruh! You already got me here! Get on with it!

[@seraph6758]

Ooohhyeah the chipmunks movie 🤣👍

[@user-nc5mi3rl1h]

Just in time for 420

[@realtalk5329]

David cross is hilarious!

[@dammitproductions]

6:17 did Brut seriously think that They Knew is possibly the only other book that he knows the plot of, Beloved by Toni Morrison?

[@matthewcicchetti]

I’m curious to se where cross takes the podcast. He has taken comedy outside the box I’m hoping his stands out above the rest he’s an innovator for sure.

[@markbd5]

Here we go

[@joebluhm]

Legend.

[@benjamingately2809]

What is David Cross's hat??

[@Iquanos]

I know David cross from small soldiers

[@AlexGAlexG]

First time I’ve ever heard it Anthony Clark

[@nobodyimportant8859]

I already have 2 pillow cubes and a purple mattress

[@shawnroe1851]
