Touring, Flying, and Performance Adjustments

This week on We Might Be Drunk, hosts Mark Normand and Sam Morril sit down with Bert Kreischer for one of the most unfiltered conversations yet. Bert comes in full force talking about life on the road, balancing family and fame, and the grind of building a career in comedy. They dive into touring, getting recognized everywhere you go, the comedy mindset, and the heat behind shooting new material at scale. Bert opens up about his Netflix series Free Bert and how the show pushed him into both ridiculous and reflective moments. He also gets real about recent changes in his life, how he approaches comedy at this stage, and what keeps him going when the stakes get high. Mark and Sam bring their signature raw style, pushing back, laughing hard, and finding the funniest corners of every topic. This is one of those episodes that captures exactly why Bert is one of comedy’s biggest personalities.
