LeeAnn did such an amazing job on the set design! Would love to have a room like that. This was such a chill episode. Love you guys!!

[@mischaelle389]

Can you imagine being the guest and the top comments are about the set 😂

[@JoKenFujitsu]

I just wanna know who really started the Drive-In comedy…listening in 😂

[@AAAFate]

The Joe Rogan with Iliza was hilarious for the wrong reasons.

[@marcusbarmeier]

We know. We all know.....

[@ChuckDuncan]

Warning- mutual ego stroking. May cause nausea. Privilege cards periodically flashed. Proceed with caution. Do not watch after eating.

[@matthewklein5484]

At first I was like hmmm interesting way she sits on the couch then I notice Bert is sitting the same way lol

[@dannoel1615]

You two should go on tour together. You could call it "The Unrelatables".

[@kidsontheblock2680]

It’s okay he’ll still make millions off your hate lol 😂 😂😂😂

[@je__.]

you are definitely "the guys that are wrong" 😂

[@H20Body]

Love both of your comity styles. Thank you for the conversation and laughter. 😂

[@je__.]

its like watching siblings hanging out in a living room

[@Schedule1ne315]

Trying to follow this conversation makes me feel like Charlie in the mail room

[@chelseapthib36]

STFU THAT WAS ILIZA IN SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL!!! I NEVER GUESSED AND SHE WAS LIKE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER! her Boston accent was the best 😂

[@staerlor]

I know, are they on cocaine?

[@lauraclements06]

Best podcast EVER, 2 of my favorite people! Gonna rewatch it now and I just finished watching it a few seconds ago!

[@klaire1058]

One bonus thing about Bert is his clear LOVE for women in his life . Especially his girls . Love it .

[@xxCD7xx]

We finally found someone Bert listens to

[@MattNW]

He knows that she doesn't like him, so he's trying to be extra polite 😂

[@mischaelle389]

Scary. Might be her turning point

[@rodsacreage7218]

"Get like Bert" most famous words from this ive ever heard !!

[@UnorthodoxTHC]

lol i thought this was david spade on the thumbnail

[@joeo5484]

I think we all wish it was him

[@tyeburch4273]

BUY ONCE, CRY ONCE. That is something I always live by. If you want something specific buy that. Why pay for the cheaper version 4 times before getting the one you wanted... and then in the end you buy the good one lol

[@EcksLacks]

I want to hear Burt say “Inconceivable”

[@B---------------------------D]

I love how this podcast starts with bert IMMEDIATELY interrupting her in true bert fashion.

[@lordfordification]

Deservedly so

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Nice Bert. You're doing shows in some of the most southward parts of the U.S., in the typically hottest part of the calendar year.

[@alexandercorrigan507]

Been a fan since war paint. I was sold by the cover art (if you're a dude look it up), but turns out She's an incredible talent. Had me in fucking stitches and proves why the old saying men prefer blondes exists.

[@djaywallz]

Thank you

[@Jumpingjackflash123]

She’s alright as a comic but her rack and body is more appealing. Hence why she went nude for a cover art

[@ManBroTheDude]

I listen to a lot of different comedian's podcasts. It's all just kind of a circle jerk, especially when they get together. It's like they're obsessed with themselves. Although I will say H. Foley and Kevin Ryan keep it pretty humble.

[@EddieHalifax]

I agree but their podcast is literally about telling people they're garbage 😂

[@JBGC916]

Let me suggest fly on a wall w david spade and dana carvey. No circle jerkin and great stories

[@ManBroTheDude]

@@EddieHalifax indeed but it feels more like a joking with the friends type vibe I guess lol.

[@EddieHalifax]

@@ManBroTheDude Oh 100% my friend. My intention was to say that their format almost forces the self deprecating camaraderie we love from our favorite comedians. Their podcast is ego-proof. In a way you could say it's perfect, haha.

[@ManBroTheDude]

@@EddieHalifax ah I see 👍 yeah those boys are great man.

[@Rdhdhlgn]

Man, Bert looks so great and has so much youthful energy for a man of 50. Keep it up, man.

[@HH-gv8mx]

He does those IV infusions that are huge now lots of athletes take them, people who want to get rid of hangovers quickly, etc.

[@jimahern6632]

lol I thought Iliza was being interviewed by Artie Lang

[@LotusEliseNZ]

Coming to see you in Auckland, NZ. Amped for it! Bring it big boy!

[@judbaker5752]

Loved this episode. These two should have their own podcast together. It should be called “Unlikable hacks”

[@krisdoke]

Hard lolz

[@jordanclayton7913]

They should call it "More successful than Jud Baker will ever be".

[@judbaker5752]

@@jordanclayton7913 or they should call it “all your comments are defending iliza lol not a good look”

[@je__.]

so unlikable that thousand of people have been watching them even millions across platform in total.. while here you are

[@Sailordude9980]

Love the support for the USO 😊

[@Organized-_-Chaos]

I love the goat noise she does when she does her bite

[@EddieHalifax]

This incredibly common trope with society being terrified of guilt is truly sad. Guilt is part of what makes you human. People who live without guilt tend to have a good time but at the expense of every single person around them, and they just don't care. Sounds more like sociopathy to me. Betty Friedan predicted this decades ago.

[@BadWolve]

It's definitely called being a sociopath

[@joshscott6914]

Guilt is just an indication of moral sensitivity. It is foolish to throw that way. I just don't get it. Unless you're just that weak.

[@PastelJoyDesigns]

PLEASSSSSSSSE do another show in Adelaide Australia 🇦🇺? Or let me in? 😅 im so devastated I can’t get tix

[@michaeledward2518]

i always wonder what is in berts nose that makes him go up there so much LOL ..... love from hamilton ontario canada

[@anthonyjaneiro644]

She reminds me of (Teeter) ,Jennifer Landon from YELLOWSTONE

[@brooksdurham8244]

Bert this was great dude such a sincere convo with Liza! Keep it up 🙌

[@jhoefer99]

One of my favorite Iliza interviews I’ve seen in years 👏

[@nowthatsurban]

POV: you're watching two narcissists try to determine who makes the most money and has met more famous people without them actually saying the numbers.

[@je__.]

if thats the only essential things that you get from the whole conversation then theres something wrong with ur head

[@tylerb3914]

Well bless you all I can't make it thru his intros. Even if I do we never hear from the guest

[@pro-america9406]

This lady is about as funny as my uncle. He's no longer with us.

[@ligerllama]

Your uncle is actually pretty hilarious. Could you tell him to stop haunting my house?

[@orobinson7429]

👊👍

[@freezarulesyou7603]

I respect her as a comic. But her views are untempered; she was born in New York, grew up in Dallas, went to a private school and Lives in L.A. As she says herself she knows she wasn't an ugly weirdo (oof, beauty privilege is strong there) "... there's no such thing as reverse racism..." 1:47:05 How would she know? Her only true stumble was that people thought she was too hot to be a comic. She admitted it herself; she has the confidence of someone who's never faced rejection. That's what makes Bert palatable; he has the same insane confidence, but the difference is, there was a time he considered himself a failure as professional and a father. Like I said, she's a funny comic; I've watched all her specials, all of them. But her views are hollow to me.

[@katieb4929]

This was a great time! I'm here as an Iliza fan but quickly becoming a Bert fan!

[@HH-gv8mx]

Bert was on Bill Maher‘s club random podcast and it was amazing! I think he gets pretty drunk on that one right before he has to go do a set lol

[@Hungryhipoe]

Yeah….. we’re pretty close to the end of the podcast era.

[@adambrazeal6711]

Holy funny 😂😂. Not addressing the drive ins.

[@danielv1300]

Lol he would just go to traverse city for one of the shows. Not a big population or nice venue but damn it they do got some world class vinyards😂😂 i see you bert

[@rustincole_w1339]

As a local, I can assure you the population is much larger than you realize.

[@VforVendetta6669]

1:47:40 awe doggo joined the podcast

[@alexweise5115]

The moral of the story is: Rich people have such hard lives…

[@jimboramen80]

I fucking love that Vanilla Fudge cover.

[@axxzjano]

I'm glad you know it was a cover😂

[@ericpaulgoldie]

Watch Spencer with Iliza Shlesinger and Mark Wahlberg, great movie

[@johndoe-to2hv]

am i the only one who feels once comics get money they just completely lose touch ? these podcasts now seem like i have nothing relatable going on lol its weird once u have ur audience/fans cuz they will literally laugh at anything because they already like u

[@adamm7949]

Only got 4 minutes in before I couldn't watch anymore. I used to be a big fan of Iliza but after her last Rogan podcast.... I'm willing to bet all her reps had their heads in their hands on that one. Tried to give her another shot but just can't. Kind of sad about it because really enjoyed most of her specials but.... yeah. it's a shame. LOVE YOU BERT! lol

[@weld4beer106]

Here for the party 🎉

[@AndrewLytton-wd1it]

Iliza is amazing

[@leftjab6145]

She really just said being a strong woman is a lot like getting racial profiled.

[@8YoHoJo]

🤦Someone timestamp it

[@comaboy154]

I LOVE ILIZA !!!!🎉😊

[@megbed2685]

Not Liza making me miss LA 😢😢😢

[@nicko198718]

Once you notice she looks like the youtuber Simone Giertz just with more makeup you can't unsee it.

[@MrByrl]

Comedians have reached their peak.. they're so full of themselves now it's crazy

[@jmmsait]

It's a handful of them and she's at the top of the mountain. She's the worst. You want to kick a baby, you should try to watch the last 15 minutes of her shit show of a special.

[@Salsadancer45]

I agree with you, this holier than thou complex they have will create YEARS of unfunny comedy. It’s a cycle that repeats every few years

[@MJ-ip7oj]

Mainly L.A comics

[@ChichiNaka]

it's just LA comics

[@azdbuk]

@@Salsadancer45 yep...

[@ryanpadilla455]

I’m technologically ignorant. Bert the movie looks amazing. So happy for you buddy

[@anthonyjaneiro644]

[@happycampa9622]

It was a bit of cringe this one could only watch 49mins.. and Bert I couldn’t get a ticket to your Sydney show have a blast in Australia when you visit! 🎉

[@BTA1991]

They have good chemistry, and could do a movie together... or one of those tv sitcoms that was popular in the 90s and early 2000s, with the hot wife and the shlubby husband and annoying kids

[@guuaaappp2183]

Shall we say they should do a drive in movie together? 😂😂

[@xxCD7xx]

This was great

[@mikewurzer7417]

Oops, didn't edit Anna Ferris's name out

[@Downs-Indroam]

12:00 Nova Scotia needs MUCH better marketing for the comics that come here. Being a small city we rarely got anyone I am a fan of here so I might look at what's coming up a couple times a year. I missed one I would'e paid a thousand bucks to see (Segura and Bobby Lee) and ALMOST missed Steve-O a few weeks later. Luckily, missing the first one reminded me to look haha

[@JustinLopezPROD]

I tapped out when she said “a privilege that I gave myself by working hard” smh

[@damiantherrien5400]

So pretentious right?

[@wazscupfishes]

I'll never forget iliza ssshleshshingger's sshleginger joke about people saying her name wrong, it's like 10 15 years she's been in comedy and I still cant say it right

[@unleashedsky]

You two together is such a cool vibe...love it

A thai food restaurant that serves tacos on Tuesday? 😂😂 never had a thai taco but I'll stick with Mexican tacos thank you

[@awakennomore]

Fan of both of these two, Iliza's "War Paint" was one of the first standup specials I watched on Netflix. Then Tom Segura's "Completely Normal" which is how I found out about his fat friend Brent Krispy that went to a foreign country once to fuck dogs and shower in a pool.

[@GrahamFielder]

Great ep. Didn't expect this to be such a calm peer to peer conversation. Reminded me of Chrissy D getting real on balancing work and family.
