Hey guys, it's Bert. Happy this week of your life. I want to thank everyone for all the amazing feedback on the Rolling Stone article

I read last week. If you haven't checked it out last week, sorry, that's an update. Last week I read the Rolling Stone article that was written about me in 1997.

Some people complained that the end wasn't there. I reposted the end. It's on my podcast list. So you just go get it there. But thank you so much. I also want to thank everyone that subscribed to my YouTube channel.

I've been working really hard on my YouTube channel. If you want to find my YouTube channel, go to birdbirdbird.com. It's in the top right hand corner. Click on the YouTube button.

I posted the funniest video I've probably ever done where I accidentally buy a calf in Texas. I did a vlog. I did a seated vlog. I jump off the world's tallest rope swing in South Africa. I get an Vietnamese ear cleaning in Vietnam. My audition is Gandalf for Peter Jackson's on there. It's a great. I'm putting up a lot of videos. So check them out. And as always, if you type in an ila in that, you'll get hilarious videos.

I want to take one second real quick to talk about a guy who's reached out to me. And he's not paying me for advertising. But I like what he's doing. And I believe in him. And I dig his app. He's got an app called Jimster. Jesus, let me hope I got that right.

It's got an app called Jimster. God, Jim as in G J Y M F T E R. It is on iTunes. It's like a buck. But it is entrenched in workouts. Super awesome, super customizable. He sent me a free one. Quite honestly. I ended up buying it because I was I was like, I was guys doing it. Please try and.

To do this on his own, and he's been listening to the same podcast. We've been listening to and they changed his life. And he decided to do something different. His name's Mark. And he made this app. And he just wants to do what he wants to do and love his chick. He doesn't learn. And yes, you can have that baby.

So check out Jimster. There's no promo code. He just emailed me and said, you know, I'd love to get in touch with some people. And I thought, why not send some cool people who was at for free for him.

So check it out. It's called Jimster. You can customize your workouts. If you like me and you're on the road and you're in a hotel gym all the time, you only have limited weights. You can it really does help out. And I do use it. So check it out.

That's it for ads. I'm in the comedy factory in Baltimore October 22nd, 23rd, 24th. I'm in Dayton.

November 6th, 7th and 8th. And I think I'm going to try to bang out some a one person like a one night show in Austin. I haven't talked to them yet, but maybe November 10th or 11th.

So probably November 10th. I haven't talked to them though, but hit up Cap City and tell them you want me to come.

But today's podcast is really great. I'm going to defend this podcast tonight. I do the typical birthday and like for the first 20 minutes, we share stories and I kind of I overall the podcast. Thank you.

Maybe is this one caramel. I overwhelm a little bit, but then that stops. And my guest today talks extremely honestly about his life that I was unaware of. And I've known this guy for a very long time. I've been a fan of his for even longer than I've known him.

And it gets really good man. It is really good. And you realize just how deep this dude is and the kind of hardships he grew up with. And you think you know someone and you have no idea. I think that's all the way. I think that's a promo for MTV, which is a fitting introduction from this guy.

You might know him from road rules season nine. He's a stand up comedian. He was on reality bites back with me and Amy Schumer and Momendelle and Donna Rollins and Red Grant and Chris Fairbanks. And Kyle sees and we talk about that. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for an amazingly fanastastically fascinating interview with the OVON.

Five. Hello. Hello. Okay, go ahead. Hello. Yeah, it's perfect. Okay. So I'm a national recording and recording. Yeah, Bill and I came over and talked to me about it. And it was just it was just. I mean, it was just for it was it felt fair. You know, I'm not saying that any other networks aren't fair, but like I know that. You know, like Bill and I was big thing was if we do happen to sell this for a ton of money, you're getting a cut. Like you're not knocking. You're not getting screwed out of this. So that. Right.

You're not helping build the brand and not getting and then Bill and I walk away with fat fucking paycheck. Now having said that, Bill and I'll bill and I'll hit or the only ones that are funding this.

Is is single handedly keeping this our podcast network of lives when we need shit like a studio.

Bill just does a show. Yeah, and then gives all the money to the fucking bill Simmons. Yeah.

Oh, I didn't realize. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bill Burr is I mean, and that's probably not fair to say because I know that when we do what sometimes we'll do ads and they'll ask us to donate some of our revenue.
