With six Netflix specials to his name, Burt's latest special, Lucky, was number three in the top 10 most watched TV shows on Netflix. Burt continues to sell out arenas and is also the co-host of Two Bears, One Cave, one of the top comedy podcasts worldwide. Burt's energy, storytelling, and ability to connect with audiences is unmatched, and I can't wait for you to hear it. Welcome to On Purpose, Burt Crusher. But you know what's funny? What? I still remember the flight we were on together and we sat down next to each other. And I'm going to sound like such a douche for saying this, but I have to say you were the nicest person in the world. And you were so kind and you were like, I can't remember how you started the conversation.
Maybe you can, but you were like, I really like your stuff.
Yeah.
I love what you're doing. And I was the idiot who's living under a rock. Yeah. No. It was like, I think I know what you do. It's really cool, but I don't know. And then I came back and I told my team, I was like, I was sitting next to Bert Kreischer, like, you know, we're texting. He's such a nice guy. He was so wonderful. And they were like, you met Bert Kreischer? They're like, he's amazing. He's funny. And I was like, I'm the idiot who doesn't know. And it was just one of those moments where like, You were so kind, you were so endearing, you were so sweet. And I was really touched by that interaction. I never in a million years thought the number one partier in the world and me would have something in common.

And then I was like, wait, I know him. I was like, oh, shit. Oh, shit. This is Jay Shetty. I've listened to so many of your interviews. You're so good. You're so good. And so, yeah, I was so excited. And then I get told by like my friends with a professional wrestler, Cody Rhodes. And he said, you know, when I met you, I've never seen more of a pro wrestler personality. Like you explain yourself within a sentence and then explain why you should like me. And I'm like, but it's, yeah, I'm a talker on a plane.
