The following is a conversation with Bert Kreischer, a stand-up comedian, podcaster, actor, and a man they call The Machine. I've been a fan of his comedy and podcast for many years, and I highly recommend you watch him on Birdcast, Two Bears, One Cave with Tom Segura, his cooking show called Something's Burning, and finally, the new movie that tells the story of the man, the legend, The Machine. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got 8sleep for naps, NetSuite for business management software, and ExpressVPN for privacy and security on the internet. Choose wisely, my friends. Also, if you want to work with our amazing team, we're always hiring.
Go to lexfriedman.com slash hiring. And now, on to the full ad reads. As always, none of these ads in the middle. I try to make them interesting, but if you must skip them, friends, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will, too. This episode is brought to you by 8sleep, and it's Pod 3 Mattress. As Bert and I talk about in this episode... Naps are the portal to happiness and joy in this life. He talks about naps on the tour bus. And I have to say, I've taken quite a lot of naps on buses, Greyhound buses, public transportation. I've taken so many buses in my life. So much of my life I spent being completely broke and public transportation was not just the only means of transportation I could afford, but really I found joy in it, the simplicity of it, the waiting in the cold and in the heat, the camaraderie that we all in it together.
There's a way of being with strangers on a subway or on a bus that all the diversity of humans are all right there. You get to kind of people watch like subtly, like this is what's possible in this world. And it's beautiful. Anyway, as he talks about taking a nap on a cold tour bus and me taking a nap on a hot Greyhound going from Boston to New York or something like that, it's heaven. But what's truly special is a nap on a cold mattress at home, which is what I do with 8sleep. Check them out and get special savings when you go to 8sleep.com. This show is also brought to you by NetSuite, an all-in-one cloud business management system. They manage everything, all the mess, all the complexities of running a business.
The financials, the human resources, the inventory if you do that kind of thing, e-commerce if you're an internet business, and all the many messy business-related details. Running a business is tough. I'm thinking about hoping to do it. But of course, when I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about all the idea stuff, the engineering, the design, the products. But that's not just what a business is. It's all the glue that makes the thing work. And for that, you should be using the best tools for the job, and NetSuite is that. You can start now with no payment or interest for six months. Go to netsuite.com slash Lex to access their one-of-a-kind financing program. That's netsuite.com slash Lex. This show is also brought to you by ExpressVPN.
The service, the software I've used to protect my privacy on the internet for many, many, many, many years back when it was a big, sexy red button. I think it's a different color button now. It's still big and sexy, but the colors change. But the essence of the thing remains the same. You should obviously be using a VPN. This is the best one. This is the one I've used. This is the one I love. Everything's super fast. Works on every operating system. Yes, including Linux. All the different flavors of Linux. As I talked about with, I think, Jimmy Wales on a podcast about Wikipedia, we talked about that every single Linux distribution has a Wikipedia page. Maybe I'm misremembering that. But the point is, they're all beautiful in their own little way.
And on all of them, especially if BN works, It's wonderful and it works fast. Simple thing done right. Go to expressvpn.com slash LexPod for an extra three months free. This is the Lex Friedman Podcast.
