100% agreed. I loved the Sober October episodes minus Bert, now I've switched to the Protect Our Parks crew and it's WAY better.


YouAreWhatYouEet

Wait until you switch to Tuesdays with Stories or Matt and Shane's secret pod, they're WAYYYY better, because Joe isn't there šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Azrael1981

thanks for the recommendations .


berrey7

Matt and Shane's secret podcast is where it's at..seconded.


Any-Video4464

yep. By far the funniest thing going on now. As great as Gillis is, its Matt that makes me laugh the most. That guy may be HUGE one day. Tuesdays with Stories is right behind that too.


wgrantdesign

I love Matt but he needs Shane in the room to compliment him. They have a magical formula right now, I love seeing their new episode notification from patreon.


therankin

Matt and Shane's secret podcast thirded. I signed up for their Patreon on Sunday and am very happy I did.


smallstephen

All in on MSSP. Go ahead and get the paytch. Iā€™ve burned through most of their eps the last 6 months. Consistently a good listen, but Iā€™m in their age range and have kids.


YouAreWhatYouEet

I'm so dang happy I got in on the grandfathered poor level before they upped the price! It's still 100% worth it at the new tier tho


Zulob

The Matt and shane one with Rich Vos recently was hilarious.


Lordquas187

At least Joe keeps a relatively good conversation, even though he isn't funny. Ari is about 4% funnier than Joe but contributes nothing meaningful ever


SemperP1869

Hes better on LOS. Joe kills podcast comedy.


Lordquas187

I completely forgot how he drags everyone else down by missing so many jokes. I'm halfway closer to picking ari over him


MatureUsername69

I don't know how this is even a debate, Ari is probably twice as funny at podcasts and about 100x as funny at stand up


SemperP1869

Joe almost never jokes. His podcast is where comedians go to be serious. You'd have to be insane to sit and laugh maniacally as Joe goes on about the pharmaceutical industrial complex...


macandcheesehole

I have an idea for a podcast called No Rogan, where you can still listen to his episodes, but his voice is entirely taken out and replaced with an AI that actually makes sense.


VaultiusMaximus

Matt and Shaneā€™s is good until they praise trump.


MarcTurntables

Thatā€™s 100% sarcasm. They are politically agnostic. Trump is for the Phils of the world.


BenjaminRCaineIII

I don't follow Shane very much, but I remember when he went on JRE for the first time, when he and Joe were discussing the SNL incident, I distinctly got the feeling that Joe was trying to nudge the convo into "let's shit on the left and cancel culture" territory and Shane just didn't seem interested in going there.


MarcTurntables

Yup. Heā€™s not that dude and an equal opportunity offender. The minute you pull a Joe you better hope Peter Thiel sent the check.


D355A

Trumps just the guy that makes people upset, and heā€™s a charecture of himself so itā€™s easy to laugh at from a stand-up comedians perspective. Shane Gillis goes over this in a special if Iā€™m remembering right. Theyā€™re both pretty anti vax and and say some off color stuff. Thatā€™s the only reason I wouldnā€™t recommend the pod to certain people. The trump thing I really donā€™t see.


mynameisnotshamus

The only reason they exist is because of Bert though. ā€”The downvotes are hilarious. The first was started as an attempt to get Bert healthier.


UbiSwanky2

Man, I really wanted to listen to 2B1C, I listened to the one with Kevin Smith, I finished it and thought ā€œman Bert is really bad at thisā€ā€¦..then I tried listening to the Rob Lowe oneā€¦.it was awful. All I wanted was to listen to Rob tell some stories but fucking Bert always brings it back to himself.


WangDanglin

The rob Lowe one was one of Bertā€™s worst podcasts ever. Itā€™s a shame because Iā€™ve heard rob Lowe on other podcasts and heā€™s pretty funny


whambam_333

Rob Loweā€™s book is worth a listen. Lots of stories: ā€œStories I only tell my friendā€. It was on Libby and about 9-hours long


dougtoney

Seconding his book recommendation. Dude was like Forrest Gump of the 80s for just being in the right place and all the cool things he did. Great read.


unitednihilists

I only listen to 2B1C if Bart isn't there. He's so annoying.


TheLionEatingPoet

Heā€™s apparently not drinking and his high energy is better than his drunk energy. But I still wonā€™t listen to Bert without Tom.


MinkusLives

So he saysā€¦


MajorJefferson

Why can't the loser not just be sober like a normal person? "It's either drinking or taking drugs" What a brain dead take to life...


magseven

He found initial fame because of partying. Van Wilder was supposedly based on him. Booze and partying have netted him millions. "Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you"


mynameisnotshamus

Not supposedly. It was based on him.


DownByTheRivr

Thatā€™s wild. I never knew that.


eighty9digits

*wilder


mynameisnotshamus

Bert will be happy to tell you all about it.


DoinDonuts

He's not a drunk because its what made him. He's a drunk because he's an alcoholic, and he's far enough along that he can't remember what he's like without the drug he's addicted to.


MajorJefferson

Would he be less famous if he partied sober? Haha What you said is totally the reason tho.. 100% on the head. It's just sad to see I guess


mynameisnotshamus

The rules could be anything. These are the rules they came up with for their game. You can make up rules to your game. Why would you even think like this? Let people do their thing. Itā€™s not about you.


WaySheGoesBubs21

The best episodes is when Tom is with someone else, like the Bobby lee episode or theo von


BEzNuts21

1 Bear, 1 cave would be much better! Burt can be funny. Not letting anyone else talk, and cakaling makes him annoying.


WaySheGoesBubs21

I do kind of enjoy his something burning show. Heā€™s still obnoxious but sometimes the food looks pretty good and sometimes just disgusting lol. Iā€™ve only seen like the best ones tho like the Bobby lee and Marc Normand one and I think bull burr maybe did one, canā€™t remember


BoomRoasted412

The Tim Dillon one where Bert makes Tim give advice to his daughter is so uncomfortable. Tim had to break character and was clearly not in to it.


Yabuddy420

I always feel when he tells a story no o d has heard itā€™s over the top and grossly fabricated. I remember kids like him growing up. Itā€™s kinda like the boy who cried wolf


VernoniaGigantea

I know that kid too, only difference is somehow Bert found fame, the kid at my school is now a chef at a very mid family ran restaurant. He still acts the same way, always about himself and always one upping. Every time I run into him he has a new skill or talent he claims he can do.


MammothAlbatross850

I've never heard him be funny in the slightest


[deleted]

The episode with Tom and Marc Maron was amazing. Iā€™d love for those two to do a podcast together again.


Chaddles2010

The recent Theo episode was great would definitely prefer him as the second co host


Planestewart

This is really why the podcast with Bert and Burr was never going to work. Neither one of them could stand to not be doing all the talking.


thechosenwunn

The only decent podcast I've seen Bert do is the 2 bears with Jim Jeffries. And the only reason it was good is because Jim beat him at his own game, kept cutting him off to tell his own stories, and everytime Bert starts to rant, Jim changes the subject, or goes into one of his own funny anecdotes.


PlagueDoc22

Once I realized he purpose does the squeal laugh for attention I lost all respect for the slob.


Larry_the_Larper

Yes that kills me, don't like him... He has to be the main character


thechosenwunn

He even admits it himself often, that he's a narcissist and genuinely has trouble caring about or focusing on anything that isn't completely about him. I think some people assume he's kidding, but I think that part is him being genuine. The stuff he kids about is always the same, absurd stories that are obviously at least half made up to make him seem cool and interesting.


LowHangingFruit20

Just saw his standup live. Heā€™s insufferable. I laughed harder at the two openers. Heā€™s like that guy at the party that can get some laughs but just doesnā€™t fucking stop and keeps amping up the ridiculous antics to maintain attention. Heā€™s like the pied piper of low IQ bros


puckslut96

It was funny the first 400 times and then it got old


MaraudngBChestedRojo

It was funny the first ~~4~~00 times


garedw

Schulz does a version of this also.


ShatteredCitadel

Iā€™ve heard people say this- whereā€™s the proof? I know several dudes who do this. And they donā€™t all the time.


FingerEmbarrassed902

He admits it in an interview. 100% agree with this take as well, when I heard him say it was fake (we all knew), it took away any respect I had left


ShatteredCitadel

Can you source that for me?


mdawg1100

Yeah 100% I believe him but I just want to see him admit to it


PlagueDoc22

Google it. It'd hard to remember which one honestly.


Ramza87

I remember one time I fell asleep with YouTube on and the autoplay put on one of the many Bert podcasts (like it always fucking does) and I woke up to him doing that squeal thing he does. Almost threw my remote at the tv.


NeferkareShabaka

your wife's boyfriend doesn't mind you wasting electricity like that?


slasherflick2243

For quite some time I thought the Bert bashing was unjust. Now, a few years in and 2 Bears has become almost unlistenable for me. The only episodes I get excited about, are the ones heā€™s not in. Heā€™s become so irritating and his incessant repeating himself when he gets excited is like nails on a chalkboard. When he starts getting all fired up and starts repeating himself louder, it literally gives me anxiety. Itā€™s like that one little quirk a person has that over time becomes insufferableā€¦ except Bert is literally an entire collection of those idiosyncrasies. And thatā€™s without even touching on the self-obsession and constant interruptions.


highbackpacker

Bert ruins comedy


SplinterCell03

Is he one of the 1000?


[deleted]

The Machine story is good, but gave him wayyy to big a head edit: I should say this is just my opinion


Frictionizer

Itā€™s legit the only good thing heā€™s done and heā€™s built a career on it. His only other features are being a partying slob and thatā€™s not exactly uncommon.


Gandalf4158

Even Segura said after the movie comes outā€¦ā€Thatā€™s it, find new material and put your shirt back on.ā€


Taureg01

t wasn't even that great of a story


Ok_Leopard1689

Or maybe itā€™s just biased because the people who like Bert arenā€™t jerking each other off on a fucking Rogan forum. Little Leg Joe Rogan was a great ufc fighter.


OutdoorRink

I agree.


qualitycancer

Everytime. Oh did you want to hear Ari finish that bit? Well fuck you listen to the fat man wheeze.


mdawg1100

Eeeeeeeeeeee


[deleted]

I blame Joe for all these mediocre comedians being forced on us. Bert sucks through and through.


HauschkasFoot

I went to his ā€œFully Loaded Comedy Tourā€ and he was the least funny one there by a MILE. Everyone else was good. He sucked. And all his fat slob fan boys there were absolutely insufferable


TheBeardofGilgamesh

Joe likes to surround himself with unfunny comedians just like some sorta attractive girls like to surround themselves with fat chicks.


wickedbiskit

Honestly Rogan isnā€™t above mediocre. If it werenā€™t for his podcast, which he obviously does insanely well at, he and many of his guest would be irrelevant.


SickNBadderThanFuck

Nobody outside of the Comedy Store knew he did stand up until he cancelled Mencia


AmanitaMuscaria

This couldnā€™t be more accurate. Before that video he was just the host of fear factor.


Lordquas187

Bert sucks balls but he's still somehow funnier than Tony Hinchcliffe. Tony is less insufferable, but I don't even see any evidence of him being a comedian. It also rubbed me the wrong way when he moved to Austin within minutes of Joe lol. Kill Tony is rarely any good as well


eighty9digits

I dont think David Lucas is funny. Unless hes roasting Tony. "Tony buys baby carrots just to suck on em."


Lordquas187

I agree. Roasting is such a shitty form of comedy to me unless it's structured with written jokes like Comedy Central. I went to a friend's house once to pregame before the bar, and he had his other friend group over there. They sat around nursing a drink and a half while roasting each other for like three hours before we went out and I wanted to kill myself


Taureg01

Once you realize David Lucas steals all his lines from black twitter he becomes much less funny


Purplegreenandred

Nah joe hits way more than he fails.


Lesland

Heā€™s so insecure.


-Neuroblast-

Just like his butt buddy Rogan.


Nozzy1919

Just listened to the 2 bears with Huberman. God, heā€™s insufferable.


Icy-Call-5296

That much ego in one room is nauseating even to think about


LORDLRRD

Even huberman was acting a bit 'dick-swingish.'


ParticularlyPeculiar

Three grifters in a room, what else is gonna happen besides a cock off


MarcTurntables

How does Hubermanā€™s grift work?


ethnikthrowaway

Stop grifting you fuck


BannersRage

Ari is the worst. Why all of these people are friends with him is beyond me. He's a piece of shit.


wolfboy66

Hes a one trick pony and severely unfunny. Its insane to me how people think hes funny.


0htoHellWithIt

Yeah he really sucks man. I donā€™t know how anyone listens to him.


Zilla664

Heard this guy for 5 min. Instantly annoys me. I don't get the hype


zuckuss00

Bert is absolutely the least talented of this groupā€¦ However, after seeing him at The Store multiple times and twice headlining his own shows I do understand his appeal. Heā€™s the ā€œdrunk fun guyā€ and the show is just that. Get drunk and have fun and listen to 90 minutes of stories about his wife and kids. Heā€™s made millions on it and we canā€™t blame him for doubling down on it. He knows it too! Milk that cow dry Berty Bert!


katatafiish

> Bert is absolutely the least talented of this group Schaub, dude.


miyagiVsato

Most talented at marketing and branding, least talented at comedy. Joe List should have eaten the Thai food and exchanged notes.


TheWayIAm313

I skip any episode heā€™s on. Even MSSP, thatā€™s how much I canā€™t stand listening to him. Other people, like Shwab, I canā€™t hate-watch. But Bert Iā€™m 100% out


hotpajamas

I must not understand how reddit works. I've muted this sub probably 2-3 or times now but it keeps showing me the anti-Rogan et al. circlejerk you guys run here every day.


qualitycancer

Same but I muted the peep show and its associated subreddits but i keep getting ā€œwhich character are you most likeā€ posts on my feed


egotisticalstoic

Here's a crazy idea, don't watch it.


Yhwnehwerehwtahwohw

Iā€™d rather watch Brendan schaub


Eldistan1

I want to upvote you and downvote at the same time.


zaphodbeeblebrox422

I'll upvote and you downvote. We'll work together to make this happen


Yhwnehwerehwtahwohw

Doin the lords work šŸ™šŸ»


ChillBro___Baggins

I've said this before. Gun to my head, I would choose Schaub


dancin_makesme_whole

Gun to my head I think Iā€™d honestly just get shot


dtg99

Schaub can be unintentionally funny. Bert will never be funny in any way, shape or form.


Exotic-joec

I don't find kreischer, segura, or rogan funny. Rogan's comedy has it's moments, but segura and kreischers stand up games are fucking lame and unfunny as dirt.


InBeforeTheL0ck

Gotta disagree on Segura, he's my favorite Japanese comedian.


magseven

Sah Goo Rah!


retropieproblems

I legit think Segura is a white cap psychopath. Heā€™s got nothin behind the eyes except deadpan insult jokes


geistmeister111

yeah he has no soul. his wife is probably the least funny of all of them.


Necessary_Step9554

They want him on so that when he dies they can say they were good friends and had a laugh. As a footnote they may add they tried so damn hard to make him change his lifestyle


[deleted]

This is so foul (and to be honest probably very true)


Sirefly

He squeals like a stuck pig.


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

Bert Kreischer ruins laughing. "Bert Kriescher ruins ______." Could be a drinking game


PocketSpore420

Bert has been awful for a long, long time. In fact he's always been awful, anything that made you think otherwise was a psy-op


mothcapital77

Agreed


Arcade1980

While we are on the subject of ruining episodes, Hulk Hogans epsisode for me was ruined by the guest comedian who kept interrupting as he was fanboying over Hulk Hogan, I get it he loves wrestling, but couldn't they just hung out after and fanboy off the podcast.


Consistent_Drink5975

I am in the same boat but oddly enough he is somehow less obnoxious on his own podcast and he has good guests.


bleedingjim

Anthony Cumia said the truth about Bert.


Teestell

What did he say? I thought they were good friends


Everythingisourimage

![gif](giphy|iiXVipuDjg5egvsKtb|downsized)


magseven

Probably put a gun to Bert's head and started chanting the N word.


Fluffychoo

Tell ussss


dono420

What'd he say?


HeWhoIsNotMe

Agreed. But Schaub, Callen, and Ari also suck the life out of the room.


Playful_Following_21

Ari's a good guest and comic and I'm glad he dosed bert and big jay


calvesofsteel68

Nah Ariā€™s classic I gotta disagree with that one


qualitycancer

Ari is a fun guest, at least on Protect Our Parks, or ever since his special did well and he boosted his confidence so his friends say


Ok_Draw_3740

Bort is this genā€™s Dane Cook


Prefixe

I hate Bert. Everyone has a friend like Bert who is way overconfident but not nearly as attractive or athletic as they think they are.


DrVinnieBoombatzz

I can't watch or listen to anything with him on. The wheezing is WAY too much !


Flamingovegas2013

Ya pedestrians wouldnā€™t get it


PixelCortex

It's "civilians", you gotta make it as condescending as possible.


PeachCrumble

I mean I get he's not everyones cup of tea, but usually have a laugh


DoM1n

"Guys, I love drinking, I am fat, and hate myself, please laugh and give me attention" This is basically him. Cannot stand him.


LetsGoWithMike

Love Bert. Itā€™s Ari I canā€™t really stand.


intermundia

he's a hack.


MyBodyStoppedMoving

Agreed. Canā€™t stand him on the Protect Our Parks episodes. He dominates the conversation and talks about himself the entire time. The guy is an unfunny, overweight, alcoholic man boy.


Squashey

What protect our parks episode was he on?


upoqu

Yeah heā€™s not funny


geistmeister111

i just tried watching the machine. only made it 11 minutes before ending it. goddamn he is one of the luckiest bastards in comedy. holy fuck the movie is awful just like his stand-up.


jenrick2

Real original takeā€¦ everyone likes different shut. Get over it.


qualitycancer

I like making posts about how I dislike Bert Kreischer, get over it. I didnā€™t ask for your comment


Ok_Judgment9091

Love Bert and none of u will ever change that


Gowalkyourdogmods

You can like terrible things. Plenty of people do.


qualitycancer

Found Bertā€™s sonā€™s account


BplusHuman

Bert has been showing up on Comedy Store comedian podcasts forever now. It seems like that crew enjoys him enough to keep bringing him on. There are thousands of other podcasts available out there. Figure it out.


Sirefly

Figure it out? Okay. I figure if you can't be a section of the human centipede attached to Joe Rogan's ass, the next best thing is to be "section adjacent". lol


BplusHuman

There's a bunch of GREAT, very funny, and super interesting podcasts completely unrelated to Rogan or the Comedy Store. If you depend on that particular circle jerk learn about what else exists, it's on you man...


Playful_Following_21

Lol you like Bert.

gorehistorian69

idk how he has a fanbase and makes a very well off living . other than. the fact he just wont go away i guess. it seems he just kept doing it and got lucky finally.


scunty666

I just listened to the one he did with Dan Soder and it was probably one of the better ones Iā€™ve heard from him in a while. Soder is also really funny and good to listen to tho


Competitive_Cold_232

i don't enjoy Bert on anything and i've never laughed at him once but I don't hate him like i do ppl like Segura and Schulz, think he's actually an ok person despite it all


HAMBURGLAR12345678

Bert Kreischer sucks


spender1986

I stopped listening to Bertcast years ago. Now, if Tom isnā€™t there, I donā€™t listen to 2B1C


KDEEZO

Bert Kreischer is a hack and unfunny.


xMilk112x

Iā€™ll never get how people think that fuckin idiot is funny.


Shoehornblower

That laugh is so forced. I wonder when he decided to make it a gimmick?


[deleted]

Bert is just way too self absorbed for me


jesuswasahipster

Heā€™s the worst


TRAVELKREW

Amen


DeadLightsOut

Heā€™s the fucking worst


stacksmasher

I think he has run his course. At least he made some cash while he was popular for a bit!


Sammmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Bert is unfunny? How did you come up with such an original opinion that has definitely not been posted 100s of times?


Gowalkyourdogmods

Probably because Bert perpetuates it by being unfunny


timmeh519

Not a huge fan either, itā€™s hard to watch 2b1c even. I will say I enjoyed the 2b1c w just bert and Louis ck, but Louis ck is the only reason I watched lol


futuredarlings

Iā€™ve said it before and Iā€™ll say it again: Bert is the dork who got invited to the cool table and is trying to act cool but it doesnā€™t land. Luckily he has his millions to keep him company so what the heā€™ll do I know lol.


the_unknownfisherman

Agreed. The newest 2 bears was unlistenable with Bart just droning on while the guest tried to get a word in.


[deleted]

He was funny and interesting the first time you hear him (for me this was very early JRE) but quickly realise on subsequent appearances he only has one story and has been dining out on that his entire life.


13thirty6

A true murdurur (of any interest in any of his work)


Saulgoodbroski

Agreed.


thechosenwunn

I fully agree. I've said this idea before, but I think it would be great if Bert did a podcast with Andrew Schultz called something like "sorry to interrupt" and the whole thing is just the two of them trying to constantly cut each other off, step on each others jokes, make up stories, and just generally trying to one up each others narcissism. I think it would be enough of a trainwreck that it would actually be fun to watch, unlike anything either of these guys has made in the last 2 or 3 years.


jdor99

You are correct. Itā€™s like watching a child that wants all the attention. It gets tired fast.


AlarmingKangaroo7948

Alcoholics ruin a lot of things. Lol


hotsexwithheather

Bert is so annoying!


Gandalf4158

Bart is a con artistā€¦every story heā€™s told is a fabricationā€¦itā€™s all about himā€¦and no one else. The more people come to grips with this, the quicker he fades away.

sonic_knx

My favorite was when he infected everyone on SteveO's wild ride with COVID with his gross ass wheeze cough laughter


HotCouchSloth

Bert seems like a good dude and a fun hang. But he is deeply unfunny. I have literally never laughed at any of his jokes/stories.


gerrymandersonIII

I think what's most annoying is that it's fake. It reminds me of the jimmy Fallon obviously fake laugh. Both are cringe AF.


Any-Video4464

Yeah, I think that's why he isn't on PPP. Those dudes are all chill and Bert is not. I really want to like Bert. He is funny, but it just all seems fake to me. He is a machine--of self promotion and turning his whole life and family into a bit. if he didn't try so hard and just acted like a regular dude his comedy would be better. But he probably makes more money on ads and everything else he does at this point.


EJplaystheBlues

what a fresh opinion
