Thanks for having me!

[@tomcheese2045]

I don’t believe this is the real Lewis black. Only if we had a way to track chain of ownership. = NFT

[@naahhhbiitch6431]

Hello from Boston

[@jameshunt4611]

Your HBO special made me laugh so goddamn hard so many times

[@snarkyretort5229]

3 minutes in and im all "wtf was bert thinking?" Mr Black you are an American Icon

[@Mr_Dopey]

If it weren't for my horse, I would've gone to college.

[@andrzejm1365]

Lewis is a LEGEND! Absolute best Bertcast ever because of him. His specials should be studied in schools.

[@Lordsbassman]

Can’t get enough of his laughter!

[@andrehall23]

2 of my favourite Comedians FINALLY SITTING DOWN!! FUCK YES ....THANK YOU LEWIS AND BERT!!!

[@Dixie_N0rmis]

Very good interview. Lewis had a fascinating father. What an interesting origin story.

[@gfiremusic]

Wow Bert and Tom starring in a Lewis Black play??? I am soooooo in!!!

[@brandonlantier]

Interesting, didn't think Lewis had the patience for Bert lol. Hahaha, Ok honestly best Bertcast ever! Hearing Lewis belly laugh and watching him turn red, priceless!

[@kyleegloff5646]

Lewis is such a pleasant experience each and every time he appears. So it goes

[@1s.e.c.racing304]

Wow a great podcast!! Lewis is always fascinating human to listen to. Plus props to bert, according to my clock less interruption and talking over. If it is the editor props, either way thanks!

[@Euridian]

Bert you are doing such a good fucking job at listening and keeping these conversations flowing

[@terimeyer2665]

Great interview! Thank you both!

[@notoriouslybratty]

Been waiting for this guest since he joined Bert in one of his tours.

[@lalah9481]

Dude. That was one of the BEST pods ever. Not only did you have one of my all time favorite comedians, you really had great chemistry and you listened. I mean you really really listened. You guys kept the flow, allowed funny tangents, came back to complete the original thread…. It’s like you’re a pro! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Really it’s two seasoned pros who love comedy and are both actively curious about life, art, history…. Beautiful. We could really feel your respect for Lew💖 Seriously. Whatever you’ve been doing during this time frame? Do it more. We got to see Lew on this final tour. Probably our 5th time seeing him live… I can only hope he continues his rantcast because Lew has a way of saying the very things we feel; our country needs his voice right now, calling out BS and loosing his sh%# so others know we’re not alone or crazy. You guys keep us sane!!🤪 Much love💖 Peace on you and yours✌🏼

[@MrConscience08]

Oxnard in the onion fields !!!!!! Is a sound bite that forever lives in my head I love Lewis black !!!!!!

[@douglasmijangos3327]

Lewis Black is such a genius and a Legend… I really wish he went around all the Podcast wit Bobby Lee, Chrissy Chaos, Theo, Shultz, Tom, Rogan.. and all the other great podcasts.. Lewis is up there wit Carlin and those legends who are always hilarious as fuck..❤

[@Dixie_N0rmis]

Yes, all this. I would love to hear the dumb shit Theo would throw at Lewis. 😂

[@douglasmijangos3327]

@@Dixie_N0rmis 😂 Theo would be great to watch wit Lewis Black … Bobby.. Distefano too 😂 if only George Carlin were still alive so he can go around these Podcasts 😂 talking his shit

@@Dixie_N0rmis I started to watch it but then I got bored 😂 so I did something else on my phone .. Carlin was hilarious.. the thing that was cool he’d make you think then throw some hilarious silly shit at you while you were thinking 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@dimanfpv3247]

It's amazing how long I've been a fan of Lewis. He's been one of my favorites for years. Makes me feel old when I think about where I was when I first found him

[@markfitzurka9995]

611 episodes and this was my first. What a awesome guest. I really enjoyed your long form interview too. I am glad the Al G Rhythm suggested it. Desperate for affection great that you can laugh at it. Love you guys together.

[@OsmosisJones-0925]

Hey Bert! Hope you read this comment. You’re a legend and a kick-ass dude. Every time I see one of your videos or shorts, it feels like I’m watching a good pal of mine who made it big and I couldn’t be more proud. Nothing but genuine support for you, bro!

[@scottf3588]

Bert and Lewis. Lewis and Bert. Thank You Guys for the insight to the Comedy Dealio'. Thanx for the Escape from Time ;- }

[@TREVONBACH]

thanks you both... legends of our time...

[@beatrice81]

His laugh is the best👍

[@jacoblesley1802]

The difference between "dogshit art" and NFTS, is Smart NFTS have built in utility beyond being flammable (often ugly) wall clutter. Glad you have smart people around you Burt, cuz it looks like this whole internet thing might catch on because it is very useful. ❤

[@TemakiTom]

I can't BELIEVE I missed the Worcester show with Stanhope. So mad at myself.

[@naahhhbiitch6431]

Lewis !!!! Love this guy

[@dj-qm2or]

Great show at paramount denver! Thankyou black. The staff and I welcome you back with 3 open arms anytime.

[@Basilisksighting]

Party time my stomach just digested anxiety into noodles

[@foellerd]

I’m really excited to watch this, probably the most excited I’ve been for a Bertcast yet.

[@brianknight1296]

Lewis Black = LEGEND

[@keith6820]

I liked this video because Lewis Black is a legend. Not because someone didn't take their shirt off.

[@colinchristie8642]

Shaun McGowan?! 😂 Shane. Come on Bret.

[@nathancanaan102]

Bert is a tragic artist 😂

[@thedangerroom7747]

See you in Stockton!

[@Basilisksighting]

Hell yeah!!!!!!

[@jaredmorris2245]

Funny episode

[@the_real_opacus]

The wide angle camera's shutter speed is too low.

[@christopherallen9580]

It's better to burn out than to fade away

[@NA86737]

Screw you don't even compare Schultz to Lewis. Lewis is a genius

[@rabbit32073]

His parent's fucked him up by arguing about politics like Bill Burr screwed up his dog by yelling about sports. Lol

[@EmilyKresl]

Holy crap you know about the pogues? My mom had to hunt for a bootleg cd from Germany back in 1999 to get me rum, sodomy and the lash CD on Christmas. Let's listen to wild cats of Kilkenny!

[@FeIixDragon]

Hope you get well, man.

You’re going to need NFT to prove you’re Bert Kriescher when AI takes over. There’s already allot of Burt Chryslers out there. “This post is an nft and is original content.” Its a Tag on a Shirt to let you know its a real Louis Vuitton.

[@NA86737]

Notice Bert has no comedic reference before 2000. Never brings up Carlin, Pryor or any comic he did not work around he's like Schaub.

[@Ryan-ew2gv]

"I'll be taking a long break from touring..." aka I'm not selling tickets. Does anyone watch this podcast? 1.28M subs less than 50k views after nearly a week. I guess I answered my own question.

[@catsupchutney]

Bert, you have to differentiate between art and the art *market*. The first is just doing what you love, the other is all the downstream shilling that the hangers on attempt.

[@mikemulvany316]

I like beer so much better than Tom. I’ve left ymh and 2 bears because of Tom. Bertcast and wife of the party for me.

[@lolfabriek3]

Ew bert

[@LitterboxKing]

Bert just talk less after you ask a question. Don't say yeah even. Just speak with less words when someone else is the subject.

[@ThedeadlyOG]

Bert flat LYING , joe Rogan never ever would say Bert looks good

[@keepinganopenmind8216]

Art has zero to do with money Bubba . what's wrong with you...

[@Stevenyoung100]

Hes not black.

[@cfn957]

Bert, I love you but I am really disappointed in this conversation in regards to the Israel/Palestine conflict. The stance was incredibly one-sided and while I understand the media is forcing you in many ways to play along with this card to not get 'cancelled', however there is so much more regarding this conflict-- specifically focusing solely on anti-semitism without recognizing genocide the IDF has been committing for generations now was a low shot for many of your Arab viewers. I hope you take this into consideration.

[@eddieBagOdonutz]

Hey Bart, his fuckin name was Shane Macgowan. You must be real broken up about Shawn’s passing. Lots of hate from Houston… and not ironically.

[@davidpatriot1082]

cant watch you and tom anymore. tom went too far never trusted him because of how he was with the gore and violence and everything and now I really dont like him with all the rich shit attacking poor people I dont click anything to do with you guys anymore, I just came here to say that you need to cut ties with that asshole, hes taking you down with him his behavior is effecting how ppl view you by association

[@aperalta0424]

All he fuckin does is interrupt, bert is so insufferable

[@codys5727]

I saw Lewis's stand-up around a year ago in my small town and was disappointed at how simple and mailed in his material was. I really wanted to love it but he had the same 4 minute cussing rant, taking his glasses off and rubbing his brow. Sad to see him resting on his laurels

[@christopherallen9580]

you can't always get what you want

[@codys5727]

@@christopherallen9580 correct. Just hoping to get my money's worth from a seasoned professional.

Free Palestine, impeach Netanyahu, End Hamas. Seems kinda stupid to say one side should stop and the other shouldn’t.
