#POWERFUL Bert Kreischer

Holla!!!!! to my Deathsquad Soldiers this Blog is for you crazy savages, if you don't know what Deathsquad is then am sorry your out the loop. I have been a big Joe Rogan Experience since almost the start of the 200 plus podcast's, it also got me into a fuck load of another podcasts like Bill Burr's, Duncan Trussell's, Talkin' Shit with Jim Jefferies and Eddie Ifft and the Deathsquad podcast network run by #JRE'S very own Redban!!!    Listening to these improved the way I think and act, it brought to light a full host of new comics and interesting type's like Tim Ferris and Graham Hancock and these podcast's also hooked me up with the Deathsquad Family on twitter a giant group of like minded bad mutha fucka's from all over the world and without one one them this blog wouldn't have been written.

The first time I heard Bert Kreischer on JRE I was in fits laughing at work getting weird looks from passing by workmen. After that am always looking out for Bert on JRE or the Ice House Chronicles, he's also been on Duncan Trussells and Marc Maron's.

Deathsquad Scotland, Bert and Buckfast (note bert is sitting down here cos he's fucking giant)
So I got to thank again @mish_the_dish on twitter, I was Having a cunt of a week both my kids were ill and I was trapped in the house, I didn't know Bert was in Scotland and Mish tweeted Bert saying if your in Scotland you gotta meet Deathsquad OG'S myself and @gspotthemaster, Bert retweeted and I was all over that shit, Finally with some back and forward tweets with Powerful Bert, it was on!!! Friday 1st of June in the capital Edinburgh the first DEATHSQUAD SCOTLAND MEET UP.

I headed in with @weerambo fellow OG and @andymac_01 was coming in later unlucky for @gspotthemaster he had to work and spend his night beating off and crying. 7pm in the filling station am looking around went a spot this giant shouldered man, "POWERFUL BERT KREISCHER!!" he turns and it's the big man himself. We were talking about his stay in Scotland where he's filming a TV show for the travel channel in the states called TRIP FLIP it's sounds pretty cool I'll be checking it out. Now I had a load of questions for Bert about his insane life from being the number 1 party animal in the country by Rolling Stone magazine to being a comic and travelling the world with his TV shows were he fought BJJ legends the Gracies and got gored by a giant fucking bull!!! the man's mental. But before I could ask any these loaded questions Bert asked If we had seen the new JRE "you guys got any gossip" so like old ladies at bunch we started to gossip about podcasts and all my questions went out the window, because in that moment instead of feeling like a fan I felt like I knew the guy for years. So easy to talk to because he's also a fan of the podcast's just as much as the rest of the Deathsquad family.

So we broke down the Bobcat Goldthwait episode, Then  I was like I you heard the latest Joey coco Diaz AKA @madflavor one? Bert wasn't up to date so I was telling him about Joey going crazy about RANCH DRESSING and the now infamous line "IT'S EITHER BLUE CHEESE WITH WINGS OR GO FUCK YOUR MUTHA!!!" Bert was killing himself laughing with his unmistakeable laugh which was awesome to heard in person haha. He then told us some Joey Diaz stories with all three of us doing our best Joey Diaz voices. Then he pulled out his iphone and let me hear a voicemail from Joe Rogan "POWERFUL BERT KREISCHER!!!!" says Joe then he was telling us just how an amazing friend Joe is and how the podcast has changed his life, Me too I said same with like everyone I know that listen's. Great to see Bert had the same thoughts on the show as myself.

We spoke about our favourite comics  like Bill Burr, Doug Stanhope and Louis CK with Bert adding some insider stories which were amazing to hear. Then we presented Bert with BUCKFAST TONIC WINE!! a drink made by holy monks and the cause of the most domestic violence in the west of Sotland, Bert laughed took a picture of it and tweeted it. He said am going to keep this for the next Ice House Chronicles podcast. Lets hope he does that would be crazy.

Also to add Bert wouldn't let us buy drinks he bought them all. And I think he fought it was crazy being 1000's of miles away and finding Scottish men tracking him down and yelling POWERFUL BERT KREISCHER AND THE MACHINE at him. Also some american guy came at of a photo with Bert he was a fan of his TV show which is mainly a travel show I think. I thought it was weird that this guy only knows Bert for being a TV host and Likely didn't know Bert was the guy that won a collage election by standing up in class and shitting in a pizza box, or that he robbed a train of his class mates in Russia with Russian gangster's in THE MACHINE!! STORY.



Bert's crew showed up for a beer and  his producer reminded him of some voice over work he had to do. I think it meant don't get fucking drunk bert!!! My buddy @andymac_01 showed up we broke down some Scottish terms for him like am fuckin streaming (i am drunk) and Fannybaws, Bert "what's fannybaws?" well Bert it's fanny in the UK means Vagina and Baws in Scotland mean your balls or sack, so for some reason we combined Vagina and balls to make the word Fannybaws!!! !Bert so it's means VaginaBalls?? HAHAHAHA  I LIKE THAT BETTER AM GOING TO USE THAT" also I got Bert to phone @gspotthermaster who was gutted he couldn't be there. Bert called I think G yelled THE MACHINE and Bert was pissing himself cool moment.

Bert's crew told him it was time to go, @WEERAMBO demanded he bought a round of shots for THE MACHINE we banged them out took some photos I ripped my hoodie off to expose the MACHINE T-SHIRT we all got amped shouting THE MACHINE and POWERFUL BERT KREISCHER to a baffled Edinburgh pub that didn't know what the fuck was going on. Standing next to Bert I didn't think he would be such a big guy "did you play football Bert" yeah "your a big fucking guy" Bert: in his Joe Rogan voice "KETTLEBELLS SON!!!" and off he went.

A shot with the Machine!!


So Deathsquad I know this blog is a bit of a nuthugger but the guys fucking awesome easy to talk to, got lots of time for his fans and Deathsquad peeps I have met a few comics and mma fighter's now and this was easily the best experience with shooting the shit with one of these guys. Honestly like I said with in 5 seconds of meeting I felt more of a mate of his than a creepy fan.

To Deathsquad thanks for being such cool mutha fuckas and again @mish_the_dish you set up one of the best moments of the year of me #KNUCKLES and to THE MACHINE, POWERFUL!!! BERT KREISCHER for the drinks and the super fun night
