 Letterman brought you up and I said, I'm going to tell you everything that happened on my end. I'll start with my end because my end is a good prelude to your end. Okay. I'm getting ready to shoot my special. I'm super OCD about when I get, when I'm, when pressure is on, I start making bets with myself and rules with myself and just to, I don't know. It's a way to, I guess, cope with the stress. I don't, I'm not really sure. I need to find a penny. I need to roll sixes and, and a lot of times I'll do little things in my head. So we're going out to lunch. Leanne doesn't have a coat that she likes and she is complaining about her coats. So she's, I was like, we'll get you a new coat and, and I'm, and I'm feeling sick at the time. My throat's hurting. And I go, I go, man, I would love if this restaurant has chicken noodle soup. And, and I was like, all right, if they have chicken noodle soup, I'll have great taping. If they don't have chicken noodle soup, then I won't have great taping. Was this the day of your taping? Yeah, it was more the afternoon. This is my brain. And so the lady comes up right next to my head and she goes, what are you going to have? And I said, what's the soup of the day? And she whispered over here, chicken noodle soup. And I fucking started laughing hysterically and everyone's like, what's so funny? I go, nothing, nothing, nothing. So now in my head, I go, that doesn't mean for sure, but that means we're in the right direction. So I go to get Leanne a coat and I put on a ridiculous coat. I ended up buying it. I put it on my Twitter. I put on a ridiculous quote. So I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. And as I put it on, I go, Leanne, what do you think? And I get a text from you check your messages. And so I go to check my messages. I hit play. And it's a message from David Letterman. Hey, Bert, I'm sitting here with Neil Brennan. It's Dave Letterman. I just want you to know that I'm really happy. I'm really excited about two things. Number one, that you think that you couldn't not perform with a shirt on. I think that's so intriguing. Secondly, that you made dot dot dot amount of money last year. Congrats on all the success. Dave Letterman, I'm wearing this jacket. I'm getting ready to shoot my special that night. I'm with my wife and I go, I'm buying this fucking jacket. This is the jacket I listen to that David Letterman. This is the greatest email. And so then I go there to that taping, Joanna's there. I tell Joanna, I'm fucking having a great day. How you doing today? I'm having a great all that energy moves you to have a great show. So that energy. That's so great. Energy that Boysmail couldn't have come in a better time in my life. It's a little it's like a little. All right. So here's what led up to that. There's a guy named Bert Kreischer. Yeah, that's all I need to see. He's so excited that you know who he is. And he came to my attention a couple of years ago because he's not wearing a shirt. And then I thought, Oh, I must have come in halfway through the show and he auctioned his shirt off or something. But now, subsequently, he's always without a shirt. And I've asked people who should know. What's that all about? He's like a part he likes. He's the literally the life of the party. He's like he love it's remember like Spuds Mackenzie. He's like Spuds Mackenzie. Right. Would you go to a party if you knew guys were going to have their shirts off? I mean, I wouldn't. But that's not. But I had to do a show about what's wrong with me. So it's not. He's that party element. People love partying. But he will put his shirt on one day. Well, you know, he's got the showbiz thing where he's like, Do they only like me because I don't wear my shirt? He's got his own. Don't self doubt. No, is that true? Swear to God. It's show business. So he he is completely invested in his own hook. And without that, he will now he's like, Do they am I actually funny? He's got a movie coming out and he wears a shirt through most of it. And I'm sure he's like, Are they going to hate me for wearing a shirt? We're all self now. Do you ever think now this this is revelatory? I'm thank you. That story is delightful. That story is delightful. Because in my mind, I'm thinking, I'm the best looking guy in here without a shirt, you know, but that's not a big he's got a big fat stomach. Yeah, he's in horrible shape. But he's got a big fat if he's in good shape, he can't take a shirt off. Right. Then it's not funny. So he would think that if he put a shirt on, people would stop going to see him. Yes. We will defeat ourselves. Yeah, that's not matter. I think you're right. I think humanity is its own worst enemy and comes up with new and crazy ways to prove that each and every day. Yes. Now have you ever thought I'm tempted to call Bert? I'm gonna call Bert because he'll he will you know my brain very well. Love this that you know who he is and and and our question and what are the chances that you're actually going to get him on the phone? I'm talking about David Lawrence. He lives he has two houses. In fact, this is how well the shirt thing's going. They just bought a third. Wow. So yeah, that's Bert. Well, see, this represents what I know about comedy in this generation. The industry of it, the commerce of it is so far more than it was when I started the there was a list of what comics made last year. One against what he made on the road. Well, I have no idea. $25 million. I'm sorry. How many $25 million. Bert did. Yes. Oh, God. Good for him. Yeah. Hold on. Let's get him on the phone. Let's see that this could this is like a radio contest. Oh, you want to leave a message for him? Yeah. Oh, this is great. Hi, Bert. It's Neil Brennan and Dave Letterman and we're talking about you and the fact you don't wear a shirt. And I was delighted and pleased to know two things. One, that you think without the shirt or without without the shirt, people wouldn't like you. Last year on the road. So all my best and congratulations. That's fucking great.
