I went to their site, and I'm a ring gauge guy, and I went through all the ring gauges with the wrap I like. I like a Maduro wrap and a large ring gauge, and I found the best damn cigars that I'm taking to the beach with me tonight.

What are the yips and how do they affect comedians?

Host 1:20

I mean, they moved into my neighborhood and... These yips are really right around the value of our property here.

Host 1:32

Steve, Craig, thank you guys for doing this. This is fucking awesome. I love that I hit up Steve and he's like, you want Craig on? And I'd only, like we've run into each other a couple times, but mostly it's because Guy Fieri is fucking obsessed with you. That's awesome. It's the coolest thing anyone's ever told you. It's so cool. That is cool. It's so wild. He texted me one morning. You get weird texts from Guy. He'll text me one morning. He's like, I fucking love this guy.

Bert Kreischer 1:54

Yeah.

Host 1:54

And I was like, and I sent it immediately to you. It's the coolest feeling. Yeah. If a celebrity likes you, what sucks is when a celebrity likes your friend and doesn't know you. Yeah. Right here. Steve Fury. How you guys doing? My favorite guy. Literally a hero of mine, Guy Fury. But it's great for more stuff's working out for Craig. No, that was awesome. Freaking viral, bro. That's just such a good story. Thank you. It's such a good story. And this is, I love that the three of us are traditionally storytellers. Like, Steve's a fucking, I've toured with Steve a ton. He is a legit fucking storyteller. Yeah. There's a lot learning from you, seeing you do it. I definitely was a shorter joke guy, and I just saw how you worked. Well, I think, I love shorter jokes, but at the same time.

Host 2:39

It's hard to remember 50 for an hour. I don't know how, like, Demetri Martin does it. Or, like, Jesselnik. Yeah. I could never do that. Yeah, I need stories to tell. Yeah, I need to be, I want to take you on a trip. Yeah. It's funny, too, because storytelling, I feel, was at its height when Rogan started his podcast. That's when good storytellers could go on a podcast and just tell a story and it would go viral. And then now I feel like jokes are like where the fucking bills are getting paid. Yeah, or being like a weird character. Either or. How do you get into stand-up living in L.A. ? uh i worked at trader joe's and this guy got hired he was a comic and he said you're nuts you should come do stand-up with me and i said okay but i'm not ready yet and then uh i got arrested for the the firecracker incident with the police in hermosa beach and then i said okay i got out of jail and i said okay i'm ready now and then i started doing stand-up really yeah that's that's a true story wait how old were you when you started 25.

Bert Kreischer 3:47

22.

Host 3:48

Really? Yeah. I needed one year to get the balls up. Took me a full year. I was going to say, I was terrified, so I did improv and sketch at the Second City for three years after my first open mic. Really? It's interesting to see you in that.
