Transcription

Chapter 1: What unique diet strategies does Dana share?

0.031 - 5.139 David Spade

I'm trying to live in the 140s, don't be mad. So what I do is... 140s?

0

5.159 - 25.492 Bert Kreischer

I text her 140. My dad would, when I was a kid, anytime he ever saw two dudes together, he'd go, look at this dude, gay guys. And then one day, I go, do you think they're saying that about us? And he goes, oh God, I hope not. You find out that a lot of your friends... They like you where you are. They like you where you are!

26.812 - 42.053 Bert Kreischer

Let's not get crazy. This is the third time I've texted you. I swear to God, if you don't reply, I'm going to come to your house, inject AIDS into you, and light your house on fire, and kill your f***ing children. The next test. My bad. That was for my sister.

0

43.315 - 49.101 Dana Carvey

All right, Dana, we had Bert Kreischer on, I think on again, right? He's been on before.

49.121 - 56.77 David Spade

It was our second time. We did it a couple months ago, and we did it in the studio where you're sitting for a while.

56.95 - 68.563 Dana Carvey

Oh, yeah. Up close and personal. We all took our shirts off as an homage. No, I didn't. I was requested to keep mine on by America.

68.543 - 74.419 David Spade

yeah my shirt off and you looked over and it i don't want to talk out of school but you did faint

75.766 - 77.008 Dana Carvey

Is that why I fainted? Oh, yeah.

Chapter 2: How can you drink like Bert without feeling terrible the next day?

162.339 - 170.169 David Spade

You name it. Are we recording? Always recording productions. You're a cocktail of Mr. Chrysler.

0

170.37 - 172.853 Bert Kreischer

Take my BPC-157 before I go to bed.

0

173.534 - 174.115 David Spade

What's that one?

0

174.195 - 178.24 Bert Kreischer

I'm on Monjaro. I'm on testosterone. I'm on metformin. I'm on everything.

0

178.761 - 179.702 David Spade

Oh, good. Monjaro.

179.862 - 180.283 Bert Kreischer

Monjaro.

180.323 - 181.405 David Spade

Not Zep-bound?

182.025 - 185.57 Bert Kreischer

I think that's what it is, right? I don't know. It's like the Tri-Zepatide.

185.75 - 186.992 David Spade

Is it like the commercial?

Chapter 3: What job security tactics did young Bert Kreischer use in comedy clubs?

245.518 - 255.594 Dana Carvey

A lot of whispers. Dennis Miller used to call it... cash register because he goes, Spudly, I'm getting a fucking cash register here. I got NCR-itis.

0

255.995 - 258.378 David Spade

I got spilkus in my milkus.

0

258.518 - 261.061 Dana Carvey

So we can't be, but Dana's always been pretty straight.

0

261.081 - 276.201 David Spade

But it's all calculated. I, for a small frame, 128 in high school. You know, I was 165. So what I started to do because I'd never weighed myself and I did Blue Thunder with James Farentino, look it up. First time around catering for six months.

0

276.221 - 276.782 Dana Carvey

Is that a boner pill?

276.962 - 277.863 David Spade

Yes.

277.883 - 283.073 Dana Carvey

I bought that at 7-Eleven. Throw in joke, go ahead. This is good. This is why we work.

283.193 - 291.371 David Spade

I'm gonna tell a story. No, but anyway, so then I gained 20 pounds. So after that, I just weigh myself every day.

291.832 - 294.317 Bert Kreischer

Yeah, that's the key. You gotta weigh yourself every day.

Chapter 4: What are Bert's essential rules for recording a comedy special?

422.905 - 434.064 Bert Kreischer

What are we doing? But if I'm on the road, I won't have my first drink until like 9.30 because that's when I'm done. And if I'm doing theaters and you do two a night, I won't drink until 12.30.

0

434.224 - 435.747 Dana Carvey

Do you do two shows a night?

0

435.727 - 436.829 Bert Kreischer

If I do a theater, yeah.

0

436.849 - 440.974 Dana Carvey

Fuck. Yeah. That's big money, but God. That's big money. I couldn't do it.

0

441.114 - 451.208 David Spade

Okay, I want to give you one little last health thing and we can move on to your career and stuff. The solution to pollution is dilution.

452.03 - 452.31 Dana Carvey

Whoa.

452.33 - 478.178 David Spade

Are you talking about water? Yeah. So if you're going to drink, so before you start drinking, before you crack that first beer or whatever for sunset, you have 16 ounces of water. It's all diluted. All your organs, liver, kidneys, yeah, before and then during. Throw a party. The effects of alcohol will be diluted and the taxing that's on your body. So the solution to pollution is dilution.

478.218 - 478.98 David Spade

So water, water, water.

479 - 494.303 Bert Kreischer

That should be a fucking shirt. What I do is I take, I wish I had a picture of it. I take liquid deaths and I put them all on my headboard. I line my whole headboard up with liquid deaths. And then right before I go to bed, I murder four.

Chapter 5: How does Bert define 'hacking' comedy?

537.656 - 541.842 Bert Kreischer

The last day of shooting, our director, we're like, hey, did you like the hotel? And he's like, yeah.

0
0

542.343 - 546.132 Bert Kreischer

But there's this guy in the middle of the night just moving furniture or chains.

0

546.152 - 546.573 David Spade

Oh my God.

0

546.593 - 562.333 Bert Kreischer

And it was you. I go, what room are you in? He goes, 311. I go, I'm in 411. I go, can I show you what I do? And I brought him up to my room. The floor is covered in cans. And he's like, I couldn't sleep all fucking month.

562.493 - 575.539 David Spade

Oh, my God. So the next night, you're like, oh, this could be so great. Like 2001, the ape throws the phone. Oh, my friend. Fuck. So you didn't need my little solution to... Oh, no, but I love... I'm a big...

575.519 - 595.857 Bert Kreischer

Proponent I didn't start drinking water. This sounds crazy. And I know that sounds like a plug for liquid death I didn't start drinking water until liquid death because of the delivery system, right? Everything's about delivery systems in life like even comedy these days the delivery system I think because comedy got so broad and so so popular because the delivery system got so accessible and

595.837 - 605.027 Bert Kreischer

Meaning, you know, like the delivery system for nicotine was cigarettes for so long or chewing tobacco. And it turned people off because it was gross. The second it turned into Zins, everyone's like, chicks are doing it.

605.047 - 606.028 Dana Carvey

Something's cool, yeah.

Chapter 6: What surprising connection does Bert reveal about his dad and Pete Davidson?

671.047 - 686.442 Dana Carvey

By the way, is Instagram turning into the new Facebook? That's what I'm worried about because Facebook is for old people. I guess we're old, but not you. We're the same age. Are we? Yeah, 53. Oh, okay.

0

686.422 - 706.207 Bert Kreischer

I was thinking about driving over. I go, I kind of grew up with you. Like, I grew up with you, but you're like younger than my dad. You're like an older, older brother. Right. Yeah, no, I'm, yeah, probably. You're 70, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, but I grew up with you. But you know how old he is? He's got to be 53. Yeah, 53.

0

706.227 - 709.611 David Spade

Yeah, he's 53.

0

710.266 - 720.287 Bert Kreischer

How old's Segura? I don't know, like 49, 47. He looks older than me. That's pretty good, man. This guy's happy right now.

0

720.307 - 721.429 David Spade

Why can't you stop smiling?

722.01 - 737.715 Dana Carvey

Because I'm 54. Your new nickname is 53. Look at that fucking watch, by the way. Is it a Rollie? Yeah. So you're like, you know, swatches are coming back though.

737.735 - 741.58 David Spade

I don't like to flaunt. Do you have security with that watch in LA?

741.76 - 743.923 Bert Kreischer

So I'm going to be very honest.

744.164 - 744.384 David Spade

Good.

Chapter 7: What insights does Bert share about the evolution of comedy in the digital age?

786.485 - 805.641 Bert Kreischer

And they were telling stories about buying each other Rolexes for gifts. And I was like, I don't have a fucking Rolex. And I was like, I should get a Rolex. I got to act like a grown up. So I got my first Rolex and I loved it. I loved it. I would look at it. It was a Submariner. I got it in Vegas. And I would look at it and it would cheer me up. And then I became a little bit of a watch guy.

0

805.661 - 809.308 Bert Kreischer

But I'm also not because I only buy Rolexes.

0

809.288 - 834.537 Dana Carvey

so i don't know anything about watches but you're kind of tan you get you got a good arm thick arm big watch i think that's cooler i think than a little uh like there's different ways i think the way people always want to show a little money when when the basketball players walk in or the football players walk in the beginning and it used to be just through the tunnel but now it's a full fashion show and they have like a little purse and they have like a skirt on yeah you go what happened

0

834.517 - 835.478 Dana Carvey

What's going on?

0

835.538 - 842.849 Bert Kreischer

Do you remember when they were like, they were dressing up almost like gay guys? Do you remember Dwayne Wade would dress like a gay guy?

842.869 - 848.397 Dana Carvey

Like he was like tight, tight pants like this and you're like. I know, but I don't know. I think they were just dressing.

852.683 - 859.613 Bert Kreischer

I guess technically I'm dressed like a gay guy. I'm sure there's a gay guy wearing what I'm wearing. My dad used to say that when I'm.

859.795 - 861.758 Dana Carvey

No, you're a guy acting like you're not gay.

861.878 - 877.455 Bert Kreischer

You're like, look, I look like Bert Kreischer. My dad, when I was a kid, anytime he ever saw two dudes together, he'd go, look at these two gay guys. And then one day, I go, do you think they're saying that about us? And he goes... Oh God, I hope not.

Chapter 8: How does Bert view his role in the comedy industry today?

930.314 - 930.795 Dana Carvey

Oh, yeah, yeah.

0

930.855 - 940.991 Bert Kreischer

I do a European tour. I'll do one for this tour for Permission to Party. We do London, all of the UK, Ireland, like Ireland's the craziest.

0

941.011 - 941.632 David Spade

Got it.

0

941.692 - 948.522 Bert Kreischer

With the Guinness and the drinking. I mean, I think it's the O2 Arena is what it's called. It's not the same thing.

0

948.562 - 951.767 David Spade

In Dublin? In Dublin. Their version of the O2? Yeah.

951.747 - 976.792 Bert Kreischer

And they ran the show. The Irish ran the show. Like I got on stage with a Guinness and I held it up in the air. And they start going, ole, ole, ole, ole, ole. And so I would start to drink and they go, ah. And then I'd be in the middle of a joke and then you hear, ah. Olé, olé, olé, olé, and another big one.

977.112 - 986.565 Bert Kreischer

They, I got wasted on stage, and they are the ones who basically orchestrated the show. It was, now, same show, Tom Segura goes, and was livid.

987.266 - 995.457 Dana Carvey

Oh, yeah. When I was there, they were going, he's gay, he's gay, he's gay, he's gay. I'm like, me? Yeah, you're the only guy up there, dude.

996.668 - 1021.036 David Spade

You know, every year, David, I think we can unequivocally say this, we make resolutions that somehow never stick. But this year, I've found the one resolution that actually works. Groons! is the simple daily habit that succeeds where extreme resolutions fail, delivering real benefits with minimal effort.
