After the ShipStation ad, Bert Kreischer finally gets to tell the full story of the Tracy Morgan near-collaboration.

It was pure instinct, and it paved the road that Sam Morril, Bert, and every comic who 'fucks off' on morning TV has walked ever since. Tracy genuinely did not care, and that's exactly why it worked.
