Podbit · 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
Bert Kreischer has told a Tracy Morgan story for years that people assumed he fabricated. Ari arranged a meeting at the Chrysler Building where Tracy not only corroborated the story in full detail but gave Bert explicit permission to keep telling it — then his team pulled out anyway.

A memory about Ari having to drop his pants during an early YouTube shoot for This Is Not Happening — with Bert shouting 'dick out this time' — spirals into a conversation about Ari's notably large testicles, which he compares to a Buck Rogers alien with superhuman strength. From there, the three comics debate ideal female height, with Ari declaring anything over 5'4" is 'gross' while Bert admits he felt like he was 'fucking a dude' when he dated a 5'10" woman. Bert introduces Doug, a Tampa friend whose girlfriend couldn't enjoy sex because his penis was 'too big,' leading to the question of whether having a large penis is the most feminist thing a man can do — Ari argues yes, because it exists purely for the pleasure of others. The whole exchange is a master class in how these three let conversations detour into absurdity before snapping back.
Ari Shaffir flew to New York multiple times trying to get Bert's Tracy Morgan story on The End, but the collaboration ultimately fell through.
Tracy Morgan walked into a CAA conference room convinced he was there to make a movie, demolished three breakfast sandwiches, and proceeded to deliver an improvised performance so good that Bert and Ari say they should have just filmed the room. He corroborated every detail of Bert's story — right down to the blunt he smoked in 1999.
Robby Hoffman isn't fearless — she's terrified all the time. The difference is she does it anyway, because not doing it feels worse than the fear itself.
John Mulaney texted Robby Hoffman out of nowhere saying he'd been a fan for a while and wanted to make a Netflix special with her. Robby called it 'shocking, horrifying, anxiety-inducing, surreal and thrilling' — and said yes.
Mulaney is buttoned-up, suit-wearing, classy. Robby is gritty, raw, and undefined. Together they made the collab nobody expected. Batman and Robin. Eminem and Dido.
Music had Pope Gregory forcing notation. Comedy has had 'magical thinking' — he's just got funny bones. But jokes work through discoverable, teachable mechanics. Writing down the rules doesn't kill the magic; it gives more people access to it.
Howard Ashman had one insight nobody else had: animated Disney films should be Broadway musicals. The third song of every great musical is the character sitting alone explaining what they want. That's 'Part of Your World.' That structure — combined with Alan Menken's compositions — generated Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, and turned Disney Animation into the most profitable creative engine in entertainment history.
The Lion King musical has been running for 30 years across Broadway, London's West End, and global touring companies. It has grossed over $11 billion in total revenue — more than Avatar, more than Avengers: Endgame, more than any album, more than any video game. It generates an average of $350 million in revenue every single year. Disney owns it outright.
The anonymous French artist Invader has hidden 1,500 pixelated mosaic artworks across Paris alone, with thousands more scattered across 80+ cities — affixed to the Eiffel Tower, the Hollywood sign, and even sent to the International Space Station. He might be even busier than Banksy.
The Flash Invaders app turns city streets into a treasure hunt, letting players scan Invader's hidden mosaics for points. Players have collectively logged over 47 million flashes. Unlike most mobile games that glue you to a screen, this one forces you to look up and engage with your surroundings.
New York draws thousands of young, talented performers every year chasing Broadway stardom — but the hard truth is that most of them never make it. Zelig Williams was one of the rare exceptions.
