Dax Shepard is endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and he finds people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy.
Dax invites you to join him as he explores other people’s stories.
They will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment.
What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology, and four years of improv training.
Dax will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection.
He will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.
Bert Kreischer (Lucky, Bertcast, 2 Bears 1 Cave) is a standup comedian, television host, and podcaster.
Bert joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the fact that he would have thrived in a content house, how his discontinued flip-flops showed him the power of diversifying his talent, and why learning how to edit videos put him in the driver’s seat of his career.
Bert and Dax talk about why Florida and Australia are the closest cousins in the world, the truth being that he’s extremely sensitive, and when he started the tradition of pooling tips at his live shows to change one staff person’s day. Bert explains his father’s brutal approach to giving him the humility he needed that actually worked, the origin story of his topless standup performances, and how he had to take a break to find the smile in his joke again in his new special Lucky.
