Full Episode
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.

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.
