    You can tell how much Bert respects Mike with how much he let Mike talk. Great pod. Mike’s got that even-keeled killer in him.

      Except the multiple times he asks Mike to explain something or tell a story.. and the second Mike starts responding, Bert interrupts with a story and goes "why am I talking about this?"

    I've been writing stories for 40 years and teaching writing for almost 30. This discussion of storytelling is a master class of distilled wisdom. The one thing Mike came back to several time- how much he wrote at the beginning of his career- is the best way to become a successful storyteller. Seems obvious, but put in the work.

    Mike Birbigs is the reason I started watching stand up. His special was one of the first I watched and then became obsessed with watching anything and everything Mike

      He was deff one of the first comics I remember watching in the early days of me actually watching Stand up but I like his early stuff better more like traditional stand-up his new/newer stuff is more like a Broadway show

    Wow mad props for birbigs and his writing skills. I was basically taking notes to improve my own writing on this podcast.
    As an aside to how good his sets are, I used to recite his standup when I was in Jr. High school to other tweens. That means when my attention span was at its shortest, I listened to and memorized his stories to tell to other kids later!!

      Børt lies and exaggerates to a very unsettling degree. I get it, he's a "goofball" and that, but he does this TOO much. It's his crutch. For emphasis is one thing, but when it is your only go-to, it becomes cheap.

  • @rebelaney
    @rebelaney 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bert, I don't know what "experts" you're talking to about drinking, but there are different types of alcoholics. Drinking daily is not necessary to be an alcoholic, there are also the binge drinking types for example. But, it's mostly based off of the negative effects it has on one's life and the refusal to stop despite those effects.

    I really, really liked this episode. So many of these stories were new, or at least the details of events that we've heard of before. I don't think I've heard that side of the jumping from the Space Needle story, for instance. Mike Birbigs is incredibly funny and I genuinely loved listening to the technical aspects of what makes a good story. If that's what _Working it Out_ is, I'm adding it to the list.

  • @_m_m4

    I think the main charm about Bert is that he used to over share information with his fans, which helped us grow to love him. He’s gotten much better about not sharing specifics, and it makes me happy, because I enjoy watching bert and his family’s content so much that I want them to have their privacy and security of the aspects of their lives that are rightfully only for them. Oh, and mike is one of the funniest people alive, I’ll always watch anything he puts out

    Their take on travelling the US is spot on! I'm a 'coastal elite', yet I had a blast in places like Pensacola, Florida; Orange Beach, Alabama or Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Never in a billion years did I think I'd be vacationing in those areas, but I tried it & I liked it. Met some amazing people, too! Some had never met Californians before.

    Bert's definition of an alcoholic is different than mine.
    A guy who has to drink in the morning has a problem for sure. So does the guy saying "One More!"
    It affects people in various ways, but Bert is surely an alcoholic.
