Hearing her talk about how her mom died when she was 8 and it taught her not everything is safe and you have to be super vigilant about the things you can control just made me think
Holy crap, she's comedy Batman
Looking forward to Taylor's netflix special. She's hilarious.
No she is not
@@taydiggs1623 get a life
This interview was two years ago and I didn’t want the conversation to end. Taylor and Bert were so open and candid with their issues. It helped realize the things going on around me. I thoroughly enjoy Taylor’s material and how she delivers them to her audiences.
This is honestly one if the best podcasts I've heard in a very long time. These two people are so insightful and sensitive and just wonderful. This conversation really put some things in perspective for me today.
Finding this three years after it airs and seeing the successes Burt predicted for Taylor is very gratifying. Nicely done sir. And what a positive role model and friend you are. Thanks for being a decent human!
me too 😂
I really like Taylor. She is very down to earth and knows herself.
The amount Bert cares about her career and wants her to succeed and see how far she has come since then. OMG just amazing
By far the best podcast I’ve heard from you. Thank you both for having this conversation and choosing to open up to vulnerability.
I hope Taylor & Bert come back to this and see how they are both NOT GOING ANYWHERE! You're here to stay, and thank you for being so candid about mental health and struggles. Cheers!
Here after watching her special on Netflix. Blew me away. New fan!
Taylor you are so full of empathy. I hope you find peace and success in life 💜
My mom passed when I was 21 and I completely understand Taylor's thoughts on losing her mom. It is so nice to hear someone actually say the tough things. I have worries about addiction, but I worry about prescriptions from a doctor. I could never start taking something I have to keep taking for life. On a lighter note, saw Bert in Phoenix this weekend and the show was a blast.
This really helped give me some perspective on my depression/anxiety, coping mechanisms etc. Thanks for sharing both of you, can't wait to see the special!
Surprisingly candid and honest. Taylor's standup is strong as hell, and she puts on a pretty tough vibe. Very cool to hear her kinda be a regular vulnerable person. Great episode.
My dad was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and passed a few months later. His cancer was caused by the brca mutation and Ive been too terrified to get the test myself. I came here to laugh with 2 favorite comics and was not prepared for how relatable this was gonna be. Thank you for sharing, it helped a lot.
I hope you got the test. My brother had a brain bleed from a birth defect. I was scared to get tested, but it helped me with his injury when I got a negative result.
Please get tested, I wish you the best.
I am so sorry about your loss. I hope you get tested. I know it is scary but it is better to know than to leave in fear because you don't know. If you end up having the gene, at least you can be proactive and be on top of it so that if something comes up you can catch it on time.
Conor1423, what did you decide to do and do you have any advice for someone who maybe facing the same situation now.
Sorry for the loss of your Dad, losing a parent is insanely hard. My mum was diagnosed with cancer and died 10 weeks later, we hadn’t even come to terms with the diagnosis at that point. How blindsided we were was traumatic, but, I’m so grateful she didn’t suffer for years. Small mercies!
Hope you’re doing good dude?
Comedians building each other up. This is amazing. I'm glad they're finally helping one another.
I listen/watch Bert any and every chance I get. This is one of the greatest podcasts Ive seen. Bert and Taylor have a really great conversation. Thanks to the both of you!!!
Haven’t heard of Taylor prior to this, but after listening to her talk about how she is, I can’t help but like her. Very intelligent and honest. Plus she isn’t trash talking or gossiping, pandering, or any of that SJW shit. Glad to see things are getting back to normal.
I can relate to many things that was talked about through out the pod cast. The one thing that you guys reminded me is that I say “I love you” to my loved ones, because anything could happen and if something happens I want my let worlds to be to them is “I love you”.
I love you both, you guys are amazing!!
Thank you for having these conversations. The beginning about anxiety, although I have been in a very good place for several years, it just reinforces that everything I experienced is "normal" and the biggest thing that helped me overcome and process my anxiety is that I wasn't alone. Thank you!
I was a catastrophe thinker starting from a really young age probably about 5 years old. I wouldn’t spend the night at friends houses because I was worried something would happen to my family while I was gone and would rarely spend the night at my grandparents for the same reason. I was always worried about death and dying, and dying before I got to do the things I wanted to do. When I was 17 (11yrs ago) I thought everything was going pretty smooth (getting ready for some big positive life changes) when 3 months away from graduation my father committed suicide. Since then my anxiety has been on overdrive and depression has popped up. In other words Bert, you guys are definitely not alone in the way you think. I’m constantly coming up with backup plans in case something goes wrong, for example, since about the age of 6 I would pay attention to how my parents drove a car and how to operate it in case something happened while they were behind the wheel. My plan was to Getto the front set as quickly as possible and throw the car in neutral, shut off the ignition, put on the hazards and then bring the car to a stop and get help. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one out there who is that neurotic lol
you are so not alone
I used to do the same thing when my dad was driving! I didnt even realize until I read your comment.
Me too. I've always heard it referred to as morbid thoughts
I love this podcast. Just two very real and honest people being very candid and open about life. No bs here.
Saw Taylor in SF recently, so excited for her special! Thanks for having her on!
100% Ive thought since I was a kid that if I didnt think of every possible negative outcome for a situation, that if I didnt think of 1 then thats the one that would happen. I now, still enjoy thinking of every outcome, not for worries sake but for brain training. Now someone will say I have an issue, and because of all my training, I can think of multipul outcomes (almost instantly) that'll help them. So it's become a positive thing, not a negative thing that haunts me constantly. If you are having issues of worrying about every outcome, just learn to trust yourself, that in that moment, that you'll do the right thing. I mean you have made it this far in life by trusting yourself and doing the right thing at the right time.
I've got all of this stuff you're talking about. I'm a blend between the two of you. Haven't lost anyone in my life too early. Felt invincible in college but now 27 and I'm not fun at all, living a healthy and relaxing life trying everyday to not freak out about stuff I can't control. Thanks so much for this awesome conversation.
Lost my mom at 20. Which I’m blessed I got to have her through my whole childhood. However, losing a parent at any age is life changing. And I never realized it could be the reason I always think the worst is gonna happen.. I never went to therapy. I probably should Lol. Love you Taylor. Can’t wait for the next special !
This episode was great. They both gel well in the father/ daughter roles. I like how bert is looking out for her and putting energy I to her self esteem. Great episode.
Hope you keep on having a lot of fun, Bert! I wish your podcast great success and a VERY long run.
The amount of times I got goosebumps listening to this. I relate on so many levels. Thank you for sharing the realism of anxiety and depression. I’m grateful to know that I am not alone. 💜
Never listened to a podcast like this before, and I gotta say.... I'M GLUED! Love you both. Beyond the enormous amount of talent, I'm really digging these topics, and yall's points of view.
I LOVE her stand up Im glad you had her on your podcast! Thank you
it's great to see the issues that you have in life and just keep to yourself because you think you are the only one with it, is so common
Everything you two talk about is 100% truth. I love it and you two are the best at what you do! Best podcast ever!
Thank you for shedding light on all of our crazy prossesing tools and making being open and honest cool!
I love their chemistry.
Stop thinking about the age you'll get married, don't even consider it until you meet the right person. What a great interview, I really enjoyed it!
Couldn't stop watching. Felt like I was eavesdropping on two friends just hanging out talking. I even found myself interjecting commentary when you were discussing Isla (sp?) and her independent nature. You two have a new fan.
she is a beautiful person inside and out
Thank you for having this conversation. The mental health stuff needs to continue to be a topic that’s safe to discuss. I definitely see a few of my anxieties growing up in what both of you shared. Y’all are both funny as shit, and I love seeing the other side of the coin.
Love both of you! Taylor really is great and just can’t be praised enough. She deserves it all. She’s so relatable! (She was lucky to have been on tour with great, respectable older men… it’s so unfortunate to have to think this way though.) Taylor Tomlinson has definitely arrived & is here to stay. Love your wife & kids too!!
Hey Bert and Taylor, love you both-
Seriously, you both bring joy into the world and I personally want to thank you. You guys have helped me get through some tough times.
Laughter is good for the soul.
Something I’ve learned after years of therapy, take it or leave it, absolutely zero judgement.
Anxiety is our body’s early warning system. Pay attention to the triggers. Practice your skills and tools to self-calm. Then just be in it. Breathe.
Avoiding triggers does not work. Curling into a ball doesn’t work. Lashing out doesn’t work. Acting out doesn’t work. Coping can mean masking things you have to deal with (sometimes best to practice with licensed therapy). The underlying instinct your body is physically responding to has real world threats that are still there.
You will waste an enormous amount of energy trying to push it down. Learning how to recognize the first signs of anxiety or active depression will allow you to keep it from spinning out of control.
Practice visually identifying random objects around you. Speak them out loud. Touch them. At least 5 items.
Sounds silly, however it can pause your brain long enough to breathe deeply, slowly.
That’s one of my tools. Practice makes it more effective.
Yoga is a healthy way to re-learn breathing. As you already know.
It also gets you in touch with and in sync with your physical strength.
Once you can see your triggers, therapy can guide you through steps to check yourself; reality checks usually means worst case scenario vs ‘normal’ or IRL true assessment.
Get those things handled as second nature self care.
Then exposure therapy can help for emotional and physical PTSD.
This will open you up to accepting the amazing, beautiful family and friends in your world. Instead of focusing on all the scary things that go bump in the night or threaten your sense of security.
Untreated anxiety/depression can lead to real health issues. It can also cut you off from emotional connection. Connections human beings need to survive.
I wish you peace and joy.
Peace on you and yours.
Great podcast. Talking about these things helps not only you two but ur listeners as well. Tks for sharing these stories they are inspirational.
19:38 Totally can relate. My dad died when I was 10 from Type 1 diabetes, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 17. Emotionally I was convinced I was going to die young too, no matter how illogical I knew that was. But I didn't get survivor's guilt for living longer, I actually dropped a lot of the emotional baggage, and felt relieved. Currently, I'm older than he was but have had diabetes for less time, I'm hoping more emotional baggage will drop off when I pass that age.
Just discovered this podcast, really enjoyed listing to Taylor and you. You both are genuine and hilarious in your own rights. Cheers.
I love Taylor ! I have watched videos of hers on TH-cam for many years now and I am always shocked how funny she is from such an early age
When you get up early for work and have to spend the next 1.5 hours talking yourself up enough to go to work. Gets so exhausting
I just found out about Taylor in the last month and I want to see her perform in person.
Literally at 39:00 you are talking about my biggest fear, which is flying.Then you stop and pause to say I wonder how many people are thinking “that’s me”. It’s like your talking directly to me. This podcast is helping me relax for the flight tomorrow to Ca . Thanks Bert. Maybe I’ll catch a show while in town. Stay up
Bert practices yoga just so he can put his socks on without help
Isn't that called yoga?
I don't know why I am just seeing this now.
I have seen both of you at various times live...and you both slay'em on stage.
What I want to say is this was an incredible interview & exchange between you both. Real. Raw. Honest. Relatable. Human. No pretense.
As someone who has been in the music entertainment biz for over 40 yrs now (I am now 67), you both Rock. Stay true that honesty and Please keep us on our toes. Hugs to you both with a Thank You.
This was great, Bert. Thank you! And thank you, Taylor!
Ahh Bert, you are my spirit animal. They say the star that burns the brightest doesn't burn the longest. I love you man. Take care of yourself. We all love having you around.
Taylor is an amazing comic...i just came across her a month ago and im watching all her videos on youtube is is so amazing and you Bert are so awesome reinforcing her and supporting her like abig brother. #themachineforpresident
this almost felt like an episode of Wife of the Party- in a good way!! great conversation here. keep it up Bertman
That was a great interview! Thank you.
Hadn't heard of Taylor before but got ticks to the Portland late show after watching this, can't wait!
When she was talking about losing a parent when you’re young and you assume you will die at the same age of that parent is so true. I lost my dad when I was 12, he died when he was 35 and the day before I turned 35 I was convinced I was going to die. Obviously I didn’t but I’m glad I am not the only one. I never thought I would get this kind of revelation from a racist podcaster. 😂 love you Bert love the podcast!!
I’m watching this two years after it aired, I’m pretty sure they are describing me with the anxiety issues.
Taylor, I so understand not being able to let go because I know if I do I will never be able to get back to normal. I still know that is true for me. Stay with what is good for you.
Seriously enlightening and necessary conversation on a tough topic. Nice work Bert.
We went to see her in Libertytown, outside Cinci, Ohio!!! She was terrific! I live in LA, can't wait to see her again!
She’s so right. There’s a fine line. I’ve had my own battles with addiction & once I “let go” or “let lose” or whatever my thought process changed to why don’t I wanna feel like this all the time? Everything became extremely trivial to me. It didn’t make sense for me to pay my bills or go to work or basically live anymore. Looking back I see the insanity but while I was living that way I couldn’t justify doing anything “normal”, everything just became very unimportant & I lived my life as if the only thing that matters to me is how I FEEL right now. That’s a terribly unhealthy way to live. Idk why I felt like I should comment that, but whatever. I wish I would’ve thought more like her. 👏 I commend her.
I'm also always thinking about what could go wrong and what I could do about it but I feel like I'm laid back about it. I guess I'm also thinking about everything that can go right
I want to hang out with her, she’s so cool
Thank you Bert! So glad to have been introduced to Taylor. I relate to her so much
As anyone who teaches or learns survival, escape, and evasion tactics will tell you "everyone breaks in the end". Boundaries and expectations are supremely important to teach to kids, especially these days. Call bluffs and follow through like a golf swing.
I love her, she's gorgeous and so funny.
greatttt podcasstt berrtt.. i love taylor too and how you end it to take her to see ur family ❤
What an insightful podcast, it’s just goes too show we all go though shit sometimes! 40:00 TRUST ME, WE ARE ALL THAT PERSON IN OUR OWN WAY. We are in all in this together. I wish the best for each and everyone of you!!!
Love Taylor, she cracks me up. Hope she performs near us soon. Bert, I feel ya on the daughter issues. Mine are now 19, 18, 15, and 14. Hang in there bud, it gets worse before they turn around.
Absolutely one of the funniest people on earth !!
i remember seeing her on a late night comedy show but didnt realize how gorgeous she was until this podcast! she seems so chill too im glad she found someone she "actually wants to be around all the time" lol i can totally relate. liked the part about stand up really helping with your mental health problems, wish you guys wouldve expanded on that topic more but still an awesome podcast!
I love this podcast. These two comic geniuses are so awesome and real
Bert, I love that you - more often than others - don't go for the "easy" guests. Meaning you also go for people that are not that famous and will maybe not get you as many klicks. And: You have more female guests on than all your friends. Thank you.
Bert: “I want to kidnap you, get you to a beach, get you drunk...”
Sooo not creepy Bert... 😂😂😂
I didn't know a ton about Taylor, but she's really interesting! This is a different kind of talk than I'm used to from Bert, but this is a really good listen.
I first heard of her on one of those Netflix stand-up series things. I think it was the first season of "The Stand-Ups"? Anyway find it. She's fucking funny
How am I realizing just now you guys had this whole series
47:01 "Black men were not nice to me". Oh Bert you know your and Tom's audience. You can't put sound bits like that out there lol
46:51
Just watched her special, she really is superb
My sister died from a seizure/aneurysm when she was 22 and I was 17. I can relate to all of this, except I'm an only child now so I feel extreme survivor's guilt and have had a failure to launch. I disassociate, but I'm also extremely neurotic so I always go straight to worst case scenario when someone doesn't answer the phone or I pull in my driveway and assume my cat will run under my tires. It's like Murphy's Law...anything that can happen, will
So what if it's out of your control it's foolish to worry about it, it's almost like your embracing it.
Taylor Tomlinson should start a charity called cancer is coming for everybody that goes toward cancer research. Put that new found fame toward a cause that she believes in.
Watched this one late but damn this one hit home on so many topics. Thank you.
2:45 I've been wanting to hear Taylor talk about her broken engagement with Bert. I see I came to the right place.
Bert + Taylor = Amazing show! My wife and I love your comedy!
I lost my mom at 14 and I kind of went the opposite, more escapist. However, when it came to my cancer, the vigilance came out. The being present thing....completely relate.
Only about 40 minutes in and this is seriously an amazing episode and totally helpful!
I love all that "bertsplaining", coming from the heart. its so wholesome to see.
This is live footage of Bert trying to lure a girl into his van.
trumanquinn probably for his sick aryan breeding program
haha what ?
But he has candy!
When she said that she wasn't engaged anymore, Bert's face lit up a bit. Lol
That is a amazing comment
I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when I was 20. I was misdiagnosed with a gambit of other things for 6 months, before I asked the doctor to just order some labs, or something!
This is a powerful and beautiful podcast
Just saw Taylor's Netflix specials - she's hilarious! Great interview too!!!
Oh hey! It's the Machine! :D It took until halfway through the video for me to recognize your voice (while I work).
"Everyone feels that way. Everyone listening to this can identify with that. The idea that when everything is going right, you're like, 'when's the other shoe gonna drop'?" Fxxxing-A, we do, Bert! Good podcast!
Listening to this podcast and then talking about feeling that panic and describing it I was like how did they find the words to describe that I thought I was the only one it felt like that I want to say thank you to both I know have words to tell others what's going on in my head that can make sense to people
I would read Taylor's book! My mom died when I was 6...this was a great conversation❤
Taylor is from Modesto,CA just like me!🙌🏼And I love Bert Kreischer!
Catastrophe thinking. Learned something new. I may check into that
Burt - I think you wanting to hear "I Love you" from Ila stems back to when you were kid and wanted those affirmations from your parents. My daughter does the same thing and it crushes me... so dang hard.
I love Taylor! My wife and I will be going if she come to the Detroit area!
Night skiing is a great time
