Chapter 1: What is the primary focus of the discussion about autism?

3272.802 - 3288.649 Bert Kreischer

But no. That's just like you'd think like an African country would be like demolishing and like sprints or like distance running or whatever. And instead, it's a guy from an island in Jamaica. It's like that circle, that track is only so big for him to practice on, dude.

3289.511 - 3310.895 Host

United States, then Germany, then France, then Switzerland, then Norway, white, white, white, Asian, white, white. Where's India? And just so we're clear, UK, not in the top seven. That wasn't seven. 15 countries that have the best doctors in the world. Let's see it.

0

3311.035 - 3315.036 Unknown Speaker

Let's see it. Aren't Switzerland and Norway technically part of the UK? No.

0

3316.58 - 3322.248 Bert Kreischer

I know they're not an English country. I haven't traveled international. I'm from Florida.

0

3323.169 - 3356.546 Host

You said the most Florida thing. Aren't they technically part of the UK? You're thinking of Ireland. Scotland. Ireland. Scotland. What does it say? Austria, Italy. Italy's in there? Italy's in there? I guess they do make good food. Figure cooking and surgery are the same things. Japan, Belgium, Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Singapore makes sense, Germany, Netherlands, and that's it. Oh, UK.

3356.806 - 3383.562 Host

UK is five. I'm sorry, guys. I was really irresponsible. I want to make an apology video. Listen, I'm not going to hide behind the I'm just a comedian. You meant Canadian doctors. Oh, Canada's number four. Oh, damn. Never mind. Damn it. It's a lot of whites. By the way, you know what's not on there? Hungry. And they do the best hair transplants in the world. Right? Is it hungry? Turkey. Turkey.

3383.602 - 3395.505 Host

Turkey. Sorry, I am hungry. And I wouldn't mind going for some turkey. That's crazy. Yeah, but United States is number one. We fucking own that shit.

3396.605 - 3407.304 Bert Kreischer

Yeah, well, it's because our medicine... our medical system is the most privatized and therefore you can make the most money. So if you're like top 1% of your class in any country in the world, you want to come practice medicine here.

3407.524 - 3407.705 Host

Yeah.

Chapter 2: What is stimming and how does it relate to autism?

Chapter 3: How do Bert and AJ discuss their personal experiences with ADHD?

3456.495 - 3477.97 Host

And, uh, and I tried a Lucy and boy, if you haven't had nicotine in a while, it kicks. It's so awesome. You feel creative. You feel inspired. You want to talk, you want to write, you can, it is such a great feeling. And I didn't do it again. And then, and I didn't realize that's what it was until I started up again. And I'm telling you, Lucy's are awesome. They're a hundred percent.

3478.51 - 3497.627 Host

pure nicotine, absolutely tobacco-free, no tobacco. To get the tobacco thing out of your head, this is just nicotine. It's a delivery system. And the Lucy Breakers are nicotine pouches with a little extra surprise. It's almost like the crushable things that the dudes have in cigarettes. I always see those and I go, man, those weren't around when I was there. But now they've got it.

3497.948 - 3518.645 Host

Each pouch holds a capsule that can be broken to release a little extra flavor and a little hydration. It's a little treat at the end of your... pouch. Set yourself up with a subscription and you can have Lucy delivered straight to your door. Their flavors are mint, berry citrus, mango, apple ice, apple cider, and espresso. I'm a mint guy. I'm old school.

3612.754 - 3623.239 Bert Kreischer

Been on the dark web a time or two. Before, like, we all knew about the dark web. There was, like, one website that everybody knew about. Ask Jeeves. No, it was weirder.

Chapter 4: What are some common misconceptions about autism?

4551.301 - 4566.667 Host

His crowd work's pretty fucking legit, and he looks great, and he seems like... I saw a clip about him talking to a black guy on stage the other day, and it made me laugh, and I was like... I mean, my only regret is my only thing I hold against him is he doesn't drink all the time, but I can do that by myself.

4568.222 - 4594.743 Host

i can do that by myself i don't need anybody for that yeah i'm an all-star uh rosaria dawson i mean i've said this to her she is distractingly attractive distract i get why i get how she got have you heard about like how she got into acting yeah of course like she was sitting on the steps of an apartment as like a 13 13 year old or whatever there were squatters in the lower east side and or maybe in the bowery and uh

4595.524 - 4598.225 Host

And they walked by and they were like, who is that?

0

4599.786 - 4603.047 Bert Kreischer

We get to appreciate Rosario Dawson because of a pedophile.

0

4604.167 - 4625.492 Host

Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much. Thanks, pedophiles. Right now there's one dude going into surgery in London going, okay, that's not that bad. It's like, I'm back in. I'm back in. I'm going in for a chemical castration. But the... Yeah, Rosario is... And I'll tell you this. I mean, I hope Rosario never hears this.

4625.572 - 4634.937 Host

But if she gives you attention, like if she wants to talk to you and is interested in something you want to talk about and she's making eye contact with you, you get confused.

4636.918 - 4637.799 Unknown Speaker

You start leaning in.

4638.099 - 4660.451 Host

I mean, Pete, my assistant, knows her as well. And she is... I mean, the first time I ever hung out with her... She was like, it was during COVID. And once again, I apologize, Rosario. I hope you never hear this. They had the commercial for our show was on TV. And we were all at the bar watching it. It was during COVID. Everyone was wearing masks.

4661.212 - 4684.992 Host

I really wasn't because I was drinking and we were all getting tested. But Rosario had like a knitted mask on. And I think she had a hat on and she turned around. And I didn't know who it was at first because a hat and a mask. And when I saw her eyes, there's a smokiness that I went, what the fuck? And then she dropped her mask and she goes, do you have weed? I was like, uh-huh. I just came.
