Joe Rogan's Reaction to Bert Kreischer Drinking 

With proper alcos often their fine, fine, fine, then one day something big happens n their out the game

By "it" you mean life? "It" doesn't end well for anyone. You die.

I was an 18 to 20 every night guy until I got a DUI. Thank God it’s been seven years sober since. I would never want to go back to that hell. It’s all fun and games until it’s no longer fun or a game.

@@_jm0n3y8oo_ Good for you, its for the best, thing is, how old are you. Bert is 50 and drinking like a fish.

@@jackastor5265 40. And honestly if I hadn’t stopped when I did, I don’t think I ever would have. You can see the resolve to defeatism on his face. It sucks because he’s a kind soul and a hilarious one at that.

The 1k likes you ordered have now been fully acquired sir

Saying the truth is not throwing someone under the bus. They were already sleeping on the pavement. Friends tell each other the truth, a friend is someone that will call your bs, even if you don’t see it, it’s because they care about you.

@@mrdownboy I think saying it on video that they know is going viral might be a different story m8 not the same situation

Right?!?!? Love that dude. Love rogan too and can't stand the hate he gets. Literally everything I hear about him that's negative is like.. hey he's such a mutant for being a good influence to young men.. gtfoh.

​@@mrdownboy Over your head. Gotcha

As he should be.

Basically he’s saying the only reason he tells the truth is if he knows he will get caught.

@@tomjones4835only because Tom was right next to him and he knows Tom will call him out lol. Just like he did. Bert did half lie and say 9 drinks and Tom called him out even on that lol

Joe wasn't writing him off. He was realizing how bad it was and immediately trying to find a way to help. That's what friends do.

Yeah Joe calling out an addict when he takes 30 blunts to the brain everyday. More like concerning than concerned.

Like everything else bert says that's a lie

@@basedbane787 no...watch Tom and Christina talk about hanging with Bert.

@@chicagonorthsider bro berts a massive liar. Him and Joey Diaz are such liars

@@basedbane787Sure, you and your fascinating life.

He has drain bammage

cares about his friends, uplifts them, points them in the right direction and doesnt ask anything in return

IRL he just bullies them into thinking like him

@@zyourzgrandzmaz damn, so when did you and Joe stop hanging out?

@@zyourzgrandzmaz yeah man for sure. You know the guy irl?

@@mcride6796 and you do?

Rogan sucks. Everyone in his orbit eventually crashes and burns- except Joe Rogan. It’s absolute trash that he moved to Texas. His whole crew needs to bounce

Joe has his own poisons. His unnatural body can’t be good in the long run. Just basing off that one tied up chicken video.

Are you expecting him to see this?

if u seen his drinking speech u know he'll never quit

Why quit? Why become essentially a rock star to not love/live that life? Is Joe doing better financially?.. yup. Is Bert making the most of it while Joe eats what he doesn't want and lifts heavy stuff?... Also yup. Don't try and make their decisions. I honestly don't know which I'd be more like. Obviously I'd rather not be as square as Joe or as round as Bert but there's a real chance I'd be 100x funnier than both of em combined.

I mean is it a problem for him? He seems fine to me

You'd think he would stop after he has two wonderful children and when I mean stop I mean a functioning two drinks an hour type drinking. But he's I don't think he's ever going to stop unless he really really wants to

@@rodneypratt4324 2 drinks an hour? That's not even enough to get slightly buzzed

His life his family, I’m sure once he health becomes critical he’ll wake up and sober up for a week, just to 🪦 the next month.

@@mhxxd4yeah he seems fine until he dies from cirrhosis of the liver.

😂😂😂😂

"So much sugar!" 😂

Oh yeah!

none of these guys deserve props for any of that. all they do is sit around and jerk each other off with wands of cash in their hands lol

100% Tom helped with making it a reality

There’s no way Burt cold Turkey stopped for October. With how much he drinks he would die of the withdrawal. He lied about going sober. It’s medically impossible to be as dependent on alcohol he is and just quit cold Turkey.

@@jgons not impossible just hard

@@seanheron9107 actually impossible in many cases. they need to be put on proper withdrawal medication and step down or the body can literally shut down. people die of alcohol withdrawal frequently.

That’s not buddy THATS THE MACHINE

Does he though?

*cough* ari shaffir *cough*

He doesn't deserve them tbh

@@tribex11 No ones to decide who's deserving of kindness besides the people distributing it. Let his friends sort that out, there isn't much to know or base things off besides our own perception of things.

Lowing hanging fruit

As someone who tried to get sober cold turkey I can back this up from the other side. If you have a drinking problem please get medical help to get clean. The process is brutal.

​@@Dandamaynnelsan ellis, who played Lafayette on True Blood died from trying to stop being an alcoholic cold turkey. every time this gets brought up I'm reminded of this. For the Love of god, if you're trying to quit drinking get medical help.

Facts and I am a former heroin addict and alcohol is worse than that.

@@ThereForWaryeah it’s on the same level as Xanax withdrawal which is also insanely dangerous

He actually has done sober October for years now

He judges like a mu fuckah. Lol.

He judges them, but he also seems to value and understand his friends.

Oh he definitely judges , EVERYBODY judges it's just the way they react to it that shows if their a friend or not

This sounds judgey as fuck "quit drinking or you're out of the joe Rogan club"

​@@nullvoid8941 he said it more like a dad saying to his kid the equivalent of "quit doing nothing and get a life or live a life not worth living"

By what kicking you out of his little club if you don't? It doesn't sound like Joe did anything

@@nullvoid8941most anybody WOULD write you off immediately if they knew you drank like that😐. He’s helping

@@nullvoid8941this sounds like a projection

He isn’t really helping him though. Do you think a dude who has 18 drinks a night and might need medical intervention to stop drinking(no maybe about it) would just stop because his friends challenged him? That’s not how alcoholism works. We laugh at this dude. But he’s in a very bad way.

@@mattr3250 I agree. Problem is they can realy only help themselves. But all anyone can do is try to get them to help themselves. Any attempt is better then no attempt. At least he isn't enabling or supporting it.

Being a beer alcoholic is low rent.

Being any sort of alcoholic is low rent ​@@jr5993

And willing to actually help you get better without something in return W man

Straight up, love him or hate him Joe Rogan is a disciplined, straight shooter and would be great friend to have.

I guess you don't have good friends or family

Joe was actually being a really good friend it’s crazy how some alcoholics don’t know you can die from alcohol withdrawal. he qualifies for experiencing delirium if he cold turkey stops drinking so Joe is more concerned about Bert’s health than he is about rethinking your friendship. Imo if your buddy is drinking that much you’re more worried about their breathing not their feelings I think that’s where Joe was coming from. He’s made a reputation for himself by being selfless and not cutting ppl off for their decisions but supporting them in making the better decisions and I’m all for it. Others might not see if like that, but the odds Joe is acting out of kindness rather than spite is much higher probably.

​@@wizarddaddy47 people who hate him either get all their info about him from biased 3rd party or they are just jealous

Mine is one and a half years ago. All drugs about 3 - 4 months ago. Can't say I won't ever use drugs again, but I know I can never drink alcohol, as I won't be able to stop again...

@viktorbirkeland6520 One is too many. One- hundred isn't enough. Been there. I found the "why", after honest effort. I worked through what I was muting. My life is different. I am different. I'm not who I was or where I was. I've learned from the mistakes made and no longer beat myself up about it. I live my life moving on forward to try and become a better version of self than yesterday. Stay strong! It takes us a year for our bodies to relearn production of "feel good" chemicals after abstinence. You are worth having a happy life and any effort put forward have reward. Don't give up on yourself!

@@finnermusic yep. Thank you. It honestly means so much. I'll be honest, I am on medication, so there isn't that much drive to do it anymore. It hard hard work, as after 2Liters of 40% (80proof) a day, I had to go in to detox not to pass away. I go to therapy. All the trauma and nerve pain (from cutting my lower arm off, completely) didn't help, but I was always an addict. I'll be honest though. Sometimes, like every few weeks / month, I have to take a small dose xanax. I never liked them to drug, but when living alone, and I'm not safe to go out, I would rather temporarily do that, instead of going insane, ending up homeless again or end it all.. But, still never touching alcohol, and / or any other drug. Only the ones I get prescribed in treatment. I'm somewhat aware of what has caused most of it, through therapy, but I'll continue therapy for as long as I can!. Keep going strong, man! And yeah, the recovery isn't always how it's told, I still struggle with that about feeling good, ever!

Yeah. I'll never forget my dad catching me smoking cigarettes. He just stopped and looked sooo sad and disappointed. It slayed me. Wayyyy more than scolding me or something ever wouldve.

"you ever smoked dmt?" - a muscle goblin guru or something

@@jacobrichter9562 lame and out of context. Alcohol unlike DMT is non addictive and way different. I just hope you are ignorant to reality and not just a POS.

He isn't

@@kvjackal7980 Fat

​@@kvjackal7980😊

​

It's all the food, water, exercise and vitamins that he does with it. The really bad drunks don't eat well and lose all their vitamins and minerals which cause all the other problems along with the alcohol. I had a neighbor who had a ranch most of his life and he was 92 when he died, his family told me he drank a bottle of whiskey everyday, but ate right and worked his ass off. The human body is a masterpiece of fixing itself if it has the right tools, but without them you'll definitely have a bad death.

@@blushingfrieza are you trying to say Bert has a good diet lmao

@@WhiteChocolate710 lol maybe no

That's because the functioning ones don't go around telling you

Yup. Tons of cash. Fairly smart. Athletic. Can be compassionate

He did Brendan pretty dirty, putting him on blast instead of having a private conversation about his retirement. They can say what they want but you could see it written all over the big dummy’s face that he wasn’t expecting that. He’s not exactly hard to read.

@@pandavelli8176 He also refuses to call people out on their bullshit. Joe did an hour long podcast where he talked about how awful child labor and cobalt mining was but when he had Elon Musk on the show he never once mentioned it to him despite Musk being one of the largest contributors to it.

@@SpadesInvests I actually kinda bought his explanation for those situations, he said he wants his guests to be comfortable so he never goes for a “GOTCHA” moment or anything of that sort

@@pandavelli8176 I mean it doesn’t have to be a “Gotcha” moment. He could have simply asked his thoughts about it or if he had any better alternatives or solutions. It’s a serious problem in the world that he was contributing to. A good interviewer would want to get his opinions on it. He had no problems getting confrontational with Steven Crowder about his beliefs of Marijuana or Jordan Petersons daughter about her fathers lack of exercise.

Yeah. He thought he was slick. Easy to do if everyone who has a problem with you, is just lying to everyone else about why they dislike you. You only think that shit, if it’s what you lie about.

love how he thinks nobody has noticed he's piss drunk on every show he does, the lack of self awareness is stunning

Maybe he's not running from anything. Maybe its just G-n-R's "Used to do a little but then a little wouldn't do so a little got to be more and more." Maybe, his job hazard is ....pre-drinking, performance drinking and after the show drinking in the drinking establishment he just performed in??? 250 nights a year. Then.... When he's not working, he's partying 100 nights a year... But having fun doing it. Doesn't mean it's healthy. But not every alcoholic drinks to numb their mind.

@@francus7227 You never know for sure but I've been watching him since 2010 and he has the patterns of someone who is running. It seems that he's a narcissist who regrets having a family cause he wants to party and be hot shit and not accept that he's a unfunny fat drunk who's selfish. I used to be a fan of him but he's hard to support these. And he even admitted that he drinks to help cope with his life choices

@@francus7227 mr brownstone ;)

@@ghenny69420 Exactly..... Sometimes addiction just creaps up. Sometimes its to alleviate pain.... physical like NFL players. Sometimes it emotional like low self esteem. Sometimes it's both like domestic violence victims. Bert seems like it creaped up.

​​@@francus7227 every form of addiction is some form of running. It looks different for everyone but it usually boils down to a very simple formula of an inability to release or deal with things in life. Whether that be going overboard when having a "good time" or coping with losses or regrets. Bert has said he knows hes an alcoholic, knows its a demon that he actively battles. He is in a stage where acknowledging that demon helps him in some way mentally to deal with the fact that he doesnt even approve of some of his own behavior. Most people with addiction are running from thoughts, feelings, or situations that make them uncomfortable. For bert, he cant have a rip roaring good time without indulging in lots of drinking. Which is super common in society btw. In a sense, he is running from the hard truth that those behaviors are harming him instead of helping him. Whether it started as a good time and just escalated over time to where he cant stop, he knows he needs to scale way back or quit, for his own sake. He is running from that battle because it will be hard and he has also built up his professional persona around those behaviors. Its hard because that will require him to radically change his behavior since his everyday or nearly everyday life consists of heavy drinking and partying. That lifestyle change is a big deal and its scary and challenging and bert seemingly, admittedly, doesnt want or feel the need to make that change at this point in his life. Like many alcoholics that know theyre going too hard or have a problem, he has the attitude of "i know its a problem that i will likely need to confront at some point, but im not done yet, and that point is not now, despite more and more concerned friends telling me to stop". I hope he helps himself sooner rather than later. Nothing wrong with being a "used-to-be-big-partier". Gotta tone it down at some point though if he wants to have a better chance at a longer life. No one is promised a long life but purposely poisoning yourself repeatedly over time is not self respect or self care and being the author of our lives we can choose to write a fun but sad story thst ends in self destruction or we can choose to learn from our mistakes and write one with some sad parts followed by tales of rediscovery and redemption.

And yet he does it so much, whatta guy

Just talks a lot. No internal monologue

?

I mean he said straight up, he only didn’t lie because he knew he’d get caught, not because he knew it’d be bad to lie to his friends trying to help him. Sounds like someone who is only admitting his issues simply to get everyone off his back, so he can buy a little more time to keep sneaking drinks until the next intervention, or liver failure.

@@nellyboi3043 as an alcoholic I use to lie to everyone about drinking because it’s shameful to admit but every time the people close to me would know I’m lying but that’s not what caused me to stop what caused me to stop is realizing they are not trying to shame me just help me quit so now I don’t lie because i know if I tell the truth that I relapsed or whatever I can get help quicker and tbh you’ll never find an addict that doesn’t lie in the beginning it’s a big part of rehab learning that you don’t have to lie to the people close to you

Facts I’ve been in the hospital for 5 days cause I had a seizure from my drinking

@@billygoat2313 exactly! I’ve had the same issues. With alcohol and any other drug you can think of… lol. you doing okay now?

The DT’s are real

@@mr.kalopsia3273 yeah maybe Bert doesn’t drink every night or maybe he just never stopped and lies about it idk

Yup and it’s fucked to spread this false info about something so dangerous

*people

Lol why would you assume most celebrities don't care about their friends? If anything, those are the only people most celebrities DO actually care about. They certainly don't usually care a lot about fans or co-workers.

What’s extra is drinking 18 drinks per night

Wym that’s my fav number 🤨

"she told me she was eightreenteenty"

Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.

​@@Neillusion lmaoooo i just snorted

He’s a delusional man child, no idea how people actually think he’s funny. All he seems to do is talk about how much he drinks and lie about how he can do things he most obviously cannot

Idk joe calls him out for the content, and he does it so nonchalantly. If he cared he would do it either private or, in that guys podcast to help his content out and give him the power to air it or not

@@kreep3r ok but you have NO idea what there conversations are like in private. And don’t you think being nonchalant about it is the least embarrassing way to talk about it in public in front of tens of millions of people??

@@kreep3r they are extremely public people who make a thing of this in the public. They all earn money for it and it put extra pressure on Burt to get (reasonably) sober. Burt is demonstrably open with it himself. It’s not like you or I went on JRE and outed each other.

@@kreep3r he does do it privately, your speaking as if he waiting for him to be on air to ever have a conversation with one of his friends

alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs to come off of.. and of course Joe was correct.. it is really dangerous for Bert to just stop cold turkey without another medication present to prevent DT

He’s so immature he has a brain of a high school boy

Yeah 'Brennan's been kicked upside the head a few times

He's right though, if you're having 18 drinks a night suddenly stopping can give you a heart attack if not monitored

Yep alcohol and benzo withdrawals are some of the worst and can genuinely kill you. The seizures are no joke

Could he drop 2 of those shots every couple days or so weaning it down? Actually curious. Alcoholism is killing my father.

@@incemomnia1374 not a good idea you should seek out inpatient or at the very least outpatient facilities. Benzos work very well for alcohol withdrawal but they have some serious withdrawals as well that can also be fatal

​@incemomnia1374 in theory sure. The issue is no alcoholic is going to settle for a shot or 2 a day. Alcoholics generally use alcohol to cover up a trove of mental issues. The moment they get sober all that repressed emotion comes flooding back.

Yeah if you just stop completely I was 12-18 beers a day for years and stopped immediately after I crashed my car and I had a temp of 104 no seizures but the 2nd time I was on it last day I did 12 next day I did 6 next day I did 3 next day I did 1 and 1 the next and after that I had no symptoms

and very bad comedy specials

His best talent is responding the bobby molest story

He’d give Bert a run for his money

And making everything about him somehow

He must have some deep, dark dirt on Joe to get to stick around

Until you lose all of them and realize how much they meant to you. It matters, but slightly indirectly. The pain of hurting those that love you accompanied by the loneliness when they give up is devastating. It helped me change.

@@SkibbidyboobopEven after that it’s sometimes not enough. My old man’s an alcoholic until death because it’s the only comfort left in his life. He’s got a woman and she just puts up with it because she’s just kinda settled for it in her old age. There needs to be an incentive strong enough to make the person want to change. THAT is what makes you a lucky man, because without that it’s unlikely you’d have been motivated to change

@@CursedWheelieBinyour 100% right they did a study and discovered most addicts are addicts because they don’t like their life weather it’s mental health issues financial issues loneliness boredom ect they don’t like the life they live and the worse their habits and situations become the less likely they are to ever stop they have to see some light at the end of the tunnel weather that’s feeling healthy having good relationships having the things they want or desire this is why you see rehabs stats that rich people are more likely to have a successful rehab they have a better future and things to look forward to as a homeless person with no family just sees being sober and homeless and they don’t want to be homeless ect period so being sober is a lot harder when you’re daily life is living day to day trying to survive and having no escape that being said wealthy people still don’t have high success rate just higher than poor people because they have to live up to this larger than life association to them that they don’t have any problems especially the more famous they are because they have no privacy and all the pressure anxiety and stigma associated with being an addict that’s why a lot of them die as well it’s easier and better for your perceived image if your the guy that has it all together than the rich celebrity who still can’t get off drugs because regardless of who or what you have if you’ve been using these substances for years it changes your brain’s chemistry and theirs the withdrawals that can last for years not the physical ones even tho they’re bad but the mental ones too because you’ve put your body into this unnatural balance for years after long enough theirs permanent damage that can be done like some people who have used for decades sometimes never feel “normal” again and i think we should be more sympathetic and try to find and make more medications for these people and things rn for most of them theirs literally one or no medications to help and the ones that are out there aren’t easily available or people have to go there every single day or almost to get it and most people can’t afford nor have the time to go away to rehab for months then go to doctor’s appointments daily to weekly and pay for prescriptions especially if they don’t have a set work schedule or have other medical issues

Tell me about it. 5 years sober and no one could tell me shit.

the harsh truth about addiction is you have to be a man to get over it. you have to decide that temporary feeling isnt worth death its not that hard, addicts dont deserve the sympathy they get.

My older brother killed 2 people in a DUI, and did 15 years. That woke him up and he got sober and stayed sober when he got out. Sadly it sometimes takes the most extremely horrific situations to get them to change and it’s not a good thing. Most bitter sweet thing that I think about all the time. I can’t be happy for him because he made it go all the way over the edge before clawing his way back up and he hurt countless people in my family, the people he killed, the families he’s affected. It’s so much that just can’t ever be undone.

​@maxb548 he should of been in prison for life thats a scumbag he deserves nothing. He murderd them because he was drunk doesn't take the edge of he should rot in prison

The thing is, they want to quit and their brain is telling them they also can not phsyically survive or function if they quit. So they stay the course in a very sad, seemingly forced and optionless journey. Its a hard road that's usually not lost on the person in it, its just seems like 1 way street that they have no choice to go down.

Now THIS is a perspective from someone who has been there, done that. I have NO respect for people who pass judgment from a perspective that doesn't include being intimately familiar with these situations. Bert is the only person in his life that doesn't see what's going on. He has only two options.

Same w my dad they said 10yrs he’ll need a liver… ten years almost to the day & he was dead.

Lmfao the random because your going to die anyway in the background had me weak

Keep it going!

Stay strong my guy it can get real bad if you don’t. Rooting for you!

I'll do my best.

It's the one drug that coming off of can kill you. Even heroin doesn't do that. Feels like it but doesn't.

Meh... You just don't cut it out cold turkey. I'm an alcoholic I can go cold turkey for a couple weeks if I want but I just like drinking. When I don't have HORRIBLE insomnia. I can easily be up for 48 hours before my body will actually sleep. Medical suggestion is to slowly cut back on the amount you drink over the course of a week or two. No need for actual supervision.

@@youngsd22SF I treat people for severe alcohol withdrawal in an ICU all the time. I'm happy to hear you don't need medical supervision with alcohol abuse but your experience is unique to you.

@@kungfu82able They do say it is the most dangerous substance to detox from cold turkey. That's why medical experts and you should know this recommend weening off alcohol like you would any other prescription drug.

Absolutely. My father was an alcoholic. The delirium when they quit cold turkey is actually insane. It’s literally like they’re on acid

Plot twist, most don't care.

@@TheUnholyPosole: exactly.

Sadly, not a long one.

@@scottsinner7530 the doctors recommend that men have no more than 2 alcoholic drinks daily and even that’s too much.

@@Frankflint50 brother, please cut back. I drank a lot for a few months and it ruined my motivation and probably hurt my body some. A glass of wine is enough for me now. I put myself on a 1-2 drink limit. Be responsible with your health

@@Shiturd45yup same. It's easy once you get around ppl that do the same thing.

Cant really blame him tho, alcohol is pushed in your face 24/7, at least in the midwest it is.

@@JameaJimea1175so what, self control goes a long way!

@@themurraypeeps5795 You ain’t wrong

You most certainly can blame him. I live in the Midwest and you're right about it being everywhere but if you have self control and self discipline then it's not that difficult. And I started drinking a lot at one point and stepped back cuz I didn't want it to be a problem. And I'm not passing judgment on those who drink, even excessively, because it's not my place to do so. But it's definitely naive to say "you can't blame him" (or anyone else for that matter) because at the end of the day it's our own choice to pick up the bottle or not and especially to not stop after a couple and keep it going and especially when it becomes a daily habit. I say this all with love though. But yeah, definitely a choice in my opinion. Nobody is forcing anyone to do so. All about self control. And moderation is the key. 🗝 👌
