57.389 - 66.73 Bert Kreischer

I heard you say that, and I was like, dude. Yeah, it changed my life. I went to Wastewell the other day, and I did the red light bed every day, every day, until I Googled how much it cost. That thing's fucking expensive.

0

66.791 - 89.674 Unknown

It's expensive, the real one. But Whitney got one that's not that expensive, and it's fixed her eyes. She got one that she just sits in front of every day for like 20 minutes or something like that. I love that. Oh, dude, it's amazing. But the big ones, the beds, they help your whole body recover. Let's put that into perplexity and say, what is the benefits of powerful red light therapy?

0

91.831 - 114.671 Unknown

I use AI so much now. In the beginning, I was resisting it so much. Then perplexity came on as a sponsor. And now, instead of searching things online, I just ask the phone. I just pull up the app and ask it a question. I don't have to type anything. And then it gives me an answer. And then I could say, well, what's the benefits of it? And then it'll list out the benefits.

114.972 - 120.677 Unknown

And then I'll say, what are the cons? And it'll list out the cons. Like, is there any people that disagree with this?

120.697 - 127.945 Bert Kreischer

Perplexity? Yeah. So I got one. My questions are always like, they're always more like about me.

135.753 - 137.295 Unknown

Why do you look yourself up?

137.315 - 159.347 Bert Kreischer

No, no, not about me. That's so bad for your mental health. No, I don't look myself up. It's about like- Your health? No, my health or my experience in life. Oh, okay. So I was like, the other day I was in bed. I was like, all right, I think my generation- had the greatest run. Like out of all the generations around, my generation, Gen X, had the greatest run. We got great childhoods, right?

Chapter 3: What are the benefits of using AI in daily life?

221.187 - 223.932 Bert Kreischer

Millennials got fucked. Millennials got real fucked.

0

224.57 - 245.988 Unknown

Yeah, I don't know about the greatest generation. I think you're correct. I think the passage of the internet, like the internet going through our lives and cell phones. I experienced VHS tapes first. Then I experienced answering machines. That was a big one. Caller ID, you know who's calling you. You can just duck people. That was crazy.

0

246.048 - 251.173 Bert Kreischer

I remember when caller ID showed up, and then I remember when Star 69 showed up, where you could block your caller ID.

0

251.914 - 259.081 Unknown

Star 69 was good because you could call people back that were pranking you. Yeah. Like, hey, motherfucker. Like, what? What's going on?

0

259.101 - 266.389 Bert Kreischer

Dude, we got prank calls. My kids never got prank calls. Like, they never understood what a prank call was. The Jerky Boys.

267.061 - 293.588 Unknown

Jerky Boys were fucking amazing. Those guys were so funny. Those recordings were so funny. You know who did a great fucking prank call recording? Greg Fitzsimmons. Really? Oh my God, it's hilarious. He did this one we called a rental car place. And he said that the car was on fire because they went to the gas station and they filled up pots and pans with gas and they put it in the back seat.

294.008 - 303.316 Unknown

And fucking Bobby's smoking and now the car's on fire. Like, you got to hear this guy freaking out. What do you mean the car's on fire? you can't do that anymore.

303.596 - 314.451 Bert Kreischer

Dude, Greg, you know when people go like, what kind of music do you listen to? And you talk to a real musician, like you talk to the Black Keys, right? And then you go like, what do you guys listen to? And they're like, have you heard of the Velvet Thud or something?

314.471 - 316.273 Unknown

Right, right. They've got some obscure rap.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Kramer's book and its omissions?

3364.046 - 3376.491 Unknown

It's a problem. Yeah, that's a problem for a lot of people that have significant, like Kramer. Two things. A couple things. This is the other thing. Do you know he wrote a book and didn't mention that in the book? Really? Yeah. Yeah.

0

3376.631 - 3377.252 Bert Kreischer

That's interesting.

0

3377.272 - 3382.98 Unknown

Yeah, somebody read the book. One of the comics read the book. He's like, I'm waiting for that to come up because he never fucking brings it up.

0

3383.08 - 3386.525 Bert Kreischer

What's the title? A tell-all book except for one thing.

0

Chapter 5: What was the impact of the first public cancellation on comedians?

3387.606 - 3389.429 Unknown

Except for the fucking biggest thing that's ever happened.

0

3389.449 - 3390.811 Bert Kreischer

The biggest thing that ever happened in my life.

0

3390.831 - 3412.561 Unknown

Not only that, it was the first cancellation, the first public cancellation. Was that really the first cancellation? Oh, yeah, through viral video. The first public cancellation through viral video. Because I remember that night. Because I think I was at the improv and then I came over to the store. Oh, I do remember that night. And Brent Ernst was at the store.

0

3412.621 - 3420.611 Unknown

He had just come over from the Laugh Factory. He goes, bro. He goes, I was just at the Laugh Factory. He goes, Kramer was off the rails. He goes, he went nuts.

0

Chapter 6: How does the conversation shift to the effects of fame and identity?

3420.651 - 3424.596 Unknown

He got heckled. He started yelling the N-word at these fucking people in the audience. I go...

0

3424.576 - 3447.242 Unknown

no he goes dude it was fucking crazy he goes he was bombing and they were heckling him and then he starts dropping n-bombs i'm like no way he goes yeah i don't know what the fuck he was on but he he did a set at the store he seemed a little a little speedy yeah a little you know a little elevated and then left the store bombed to the store and went over to the laugh factory and that was that night

0

3447.323 - 3470.401 Bert Kreischer

He was at the improv the weekend before, and I was there. And he was doing stand-up, but he was doing a version of Kramer, a version of, like, crazy, and he fell on a glass and broke the glass and cut himself. But everyone laughed, and I think everyone was like, I think he's bleeding. But it was, like, really off. Well, he was doing really off stuff from the jump.

0

3470.821 - 3489.754 Unknown

Like, he came to the store... I think he just decided to start doing stand-up because Seinfeld had been canceled for a long time. He wanted to start doing something again. And he started doing stand-up, but he didn't have any material. He would just kind of fall down. It was weird. He would pretend that something went wrong and try to do the mic stand and slip and fall. It was very odd.

0

3490.215 - 3494.863 Unknown

Which is also my theory that I've been telling everybody about Chevy Chase.

3494.962 - 3496.805 Bert Kreischer

Ooh, I'd love to hear this.

3496.865 - 3505.478 Unknown

So everybody is talking about what a terrible person Chevy Chase is, and there's all these videos that come out of him screaming at people and being mean.

3506.018 - 3511.326 Bert Kreischer

I saw one with Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, and him, where it's like right when they're promoting Caddyshack.

3511.547 - 3541.596 Unknown

Yeah, he yells at some other guy, right? Some other guy that's on the set. And this is my take on it. I want you to pull up the... Like a compilation of Chevy Chase's pratfalls. Okay. Chevy Chase has to be in constant pain. Has to be. He has to be in constant pain and almost 100% has CTE. Chevy Chase used to throw himself down flights of stairs.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of awards in the entertainment industry?

6810.136 - 6810.597 Bert Kreischer

It's really good.

0

6810.617 - 6812.439 Unknown

0

6812.459 - 6814.781 Bert Kreischer

Dax is really good. There's some great podcasts out there.

0

6814.802 - 6833.325 Unknown

I don't even know who was in I just know that Amy Poehler wanted a lot of people were upset She said a podcast for six months, and she won great you gave it to a famous person Which you know in that world? That's what they do they give it to a person that like is gonna Look you give it to Amy Poehler amongst their circles.

0

6833.405 - 6837.01 Unknown

6837.03 - 6837.65 Bert Kreischer

There's some great.

6837.67 - 6855.027 Unknown

I don't know I If amongst her group, if I listened to all of them, I would decide that hers is number one. But I just know that I didn't submit. I don't want to be a part of that. I don't care. You're just a group of people that just decide all of a sudden that you're going to give an award out. You got a trophy? Fuck off.

6855.227 - 6873.828 Bert Kreischer

Dude. This, okay. So when we did the show, and everyone's like, are you looking for a season two? And obviously that would be great. But you know what I said to Leanne the day after it came out? I said, I think I already won. I think I got everything I wanted. I did something I'm proud of.

6874.428 - 6886.955 Bert Kreischer

And people responding to it, people like, the texts I get are people that will never promote it on their social media. Ron White loves it. Loved it. When Ron came in last night, And the first thing he said to me was, I watched your show.

Chapter 8: How does Bert Kreischer reflect on his career and achievements?

6887.056 - 6889.702 Bert Kreischer

6889.902 - 6891.085 Unknown

He binged it with his girlfriend.

0

6891.506 - 6895.114 Bert Kreischer

I was like, Joe, you know how I feel about Ron. I get emotional. He's like my guy.

0

6895.134 - 6906.737 Unknown

And Ron's not a bullshit artist. He's not. If Ron loved it, he loved it. And he came in and he was ranting and raving about it. That's all you need. Just do your best. All these awards and all this shit awards for art are crazy.

0

6906.757 - 6933.015 Unknown

It's insane because it's not it shouldn't be a competition Well, it's also so subjective there is music that like my daughter loves it is her favorite music, but she's a 15 year old girl and I can't say it sucks because it doesn't suck. It's just not for me. You know what I mean? That's why awards for art are crazy. This is the best. To who?

6933.435 - 6938.381 Unknown

To a group of fucking people that we deem the gatekeepers of all that's appropriate?

6938.582 - 6963.503 Bert Kreischer

So when did you come? I'm always fascinated by you. Did you care about ratings when you were on news radio? Oh, no. Well, his radio thing was hilarious. Because that's one that I can say, for people that haven't watched it, I would say, binge that show. It was such an amazing piece of art, we would say. But always, and respectfully, always in the losing category. Always. Always.

6963.483 - 6965.027 Bert Kreischer

Always in the losing category.

6965.127 - 6986.346 Unknown

My friend Lou, he was one of the writers on news radio, and he would show up for the table read with a T-shirt that had the number of our rating on it. And one day he showed up and the number was 88. And I was like, 88? He's like, I'm like, fuck. I was like, God, because we got moved nine times over the course of five years.
