"Alcoholics tend to tell the same stories over and over and it sucks."
Have you heard the machine story?
He loves the sound of his own voice.
This was a big reason I cut back drinking and quit hanging out with certain people. Just getting shitfaced every weekend, telling the same stories doing the same shit.
that bit took him years to develop
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
First time its funny. 2nd and 3rd you play along like you ain´t heard it before. 4th time its just sad
How nice of Tom to dramatically underestimate Bert’s drinking
If there ever were a time for the stupid laugh track not to chime in… Bert is literally going to die from it. Happened to an aunt of mine when I was a child.
He really did underestimate how much he drinks
Really ? I don't watch this podcast really but over 6-9 drinks ? How much is he consuming.
@@hero.alexander There was a great clip (edit: 5 years ago) where Christina and Tom went over every drink Bert had in a day and it was like… 18 DOUBLES. It was insanity.
@@familydinner1 Wow that sounds stressful as hell to contemplate and the thought of trying to drink that much makes my stomach churn. I'm questioning my own consumption and it's not close to that but still gives me great pause I need to reduce amount. There's new research that all cancers are dramatically more likely with drinking more than 2 a WEEK. That's a big reduction but I keep hearing of people way more successful being sober or almost. Oh well.
I can 100% guarantee that all that Barnt is going to hear here is "genetic variation" and "outliers", think to himself "Mickey Mantle gene", and come out of this thinking his behaviour is perfectly fine lol.
Ahh hhhhundred percent
Mickey Mantle was probably a racist so he might be on to something.
He's also beyond the point of correction and rehabilitation
That's alcoholism at work. Most would.
He won’t get sober until he hits bottom. Right now he’s on top of the world so he doesn’t see it as a problem, but anyone who’s followed him awhile and been through it can see it getting worse. As much shit as he talks about her, he loves leann so I’d say when she has enough and leaves he’ll either get sober and get her back, or get alot worse.
Sounds like a parent talking to the doctor alone, while the kid waits outside 😂
LOL
LMAO!
But this is a grown adult, not a kid. Andrew and Tom are just gossiping about their friends problems to get clicks. I'm pretty disgusted how badly other comedians treat Bert because he has a drinking problem. You fans are also part of the problem.
@@pointysidedown in the end he makes his own choices, they have tried to help him, think that’s a bit sensitive
@@pointysidedown you fans ? Cry me a river
"Have you ever been around someone that repeats the same 5 or 10 stories?"
Literally every podcasting comedian.
Yeah for sure, when you put out multiple podcasts a week eventually you just can’t come up with fresh stuff as regularly sad but it’s the truth
Hahahahaha
I know people like this in my personal life. It’s not just them lol
Have you HEARD that Bert is The Machine? …. 🙄
Joe "19 out of every 20 Christian Facebook groups are Russian bots" Rogan.
Mickey Mantle died at 63, he had liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and outright liver failure caused by his alcoholism. He had to have a liver transplant, and died 2 months later. His drinking was so severe that it led his wife and 4 sons all to abuse alcohol. All of them, including Mickey Sr. eventually went through AA. Mantle's son Billy died at 36 from heart failure brought on by years of alcoholism. His other son, Mickey Jr, later died of liver cancer at 47, also caused by alcoholism. if there is a "Mickey Mantle gene" believe me you DON'T WANT IT. Mantle is not an example of a hard working alcoholic who could handle his liquor and who beat the odds.....his family's story is one of the worst case scenario's of what alcoholism can really do to you and your loved ones. The man lived to watch two of his adult sons die from suffering from his same addiction only to die himself at 63 also because of boozing. That's a horrific tragedy I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
This would be an interesting thing to mention whenever Bert brings up the Mickey mantle gene
Except Trump
Get this BK yesterday
seeing the comments from sober addicts makes me so damn happy and proud of a bunch of internet strangers. love you all, and great job saving yourself.
I stopped drinking 3 years ago. It was one of the best decisions I've made for my overall well-being.
Also, I learned I had drinking buddies more than I did actual friends.
I’ll have 3 years in April! Best choice I ever made.
I used to work in a pub and it was heartbreaking to witness what long-term alcoholism does to people and their families.
4 years here!! Congrats.
I'm over 3 years now and it was the same for me, I learnt I had drinking buddies, not actual friends. My career has really taken a big leap in the last few years and personally I've made a lot of improvements. So it has been worth it., best decision I've ever made, hands down.
Proud of you!
Today just hit one month sober. Feeling great! Turned 40 yesterday and haven’t gone this long with no booze probably since my early 20s
Hell yeah 💪
When these "Bert's an alcoholic" videos started showing up everywhere, it made me analyze my own drinking. Id say that was a good thing, cuz now I hardly drink at all and I don't really miss it.
Respect to that!
Tom's brutal honesty about Bert is refreshing. Most people tiptoe around alcoholics while Tom make Bert's alcoholism a CZcams channel subject.
It's disgusting to air your friends personal problems publicly. Even worse when you do it behind their back and don't let them respond to toms accusations. Tom is exploiting Bert, not helping him.
@@pointysidedown hes a public figure?
@@leopoldo3884 regardless he’s using his alcoholism for youtube lmao how are you too braindead to see that
When you're an honest person honesty will just come out. It should just be the norm, sadly.
@@snakejazz you think it's helpful to call out people's personal problems publicly in the name of honesty? What about loyalty to your friend. How would you feel if your colleagues had a staff meeting about your personal problems? Not everything should be a CZcams video. He is exploiting his "friend"
It took 12 beers a day for 8 years for my mom's liver to fail at age 54. The symptoms didn't really show to where others noticed until June of 2018, and she was dead in October. It was that fast. Her last couple weeks were agony that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Don't drink excessively, folks. And if you do, get help.
Sorry for your loss. Alcohol is especially hard on women. Not saying men should excessively drink either, but women’s bodies can’t process it very well.
My mom's liver did the same.
Brutal truth. Thanks for sharing ❤.
my father killed himself with cigarettes... he died one year after he learned he had cancer... he likely would have lived another twenty or thirty years but for the cigarettes... it's gotta be hell laying there dying decades too soon fully aware that you did it to yourself... i quit smoking because of my dad.
Sorry to hear. I've seen a few people die from booze. Those final weeks are horrifying.
As a recovering alcoholic, it’s very interesting to observe Bert and how things play out
it will be a sad ending most likely
@@thekosmokramer it has shit ending writing all over it. Money can't change the outcome, of anything it exacerbates it.
You already know how things will turn out. Not good.
He's only accepted bc he has money and ppl exploit him. Even Tom us enabling him. One day he won't be funny and he'll blame the booze not the behavior. Bert is hilarious but he has two beautiful young kids. They may not think it's so funny in 20 years after the trama hits in.
@@6dayzofchaos584 when i watched his show the cabin i couldnt help but realize what a sad life he has. i know most of that is BS, but u can tell he seriously cares more about his instagram following than the feelings of his wife and kids. hell his tour bus costs more than the tiny little house he lives in
My worry is that Bert gets a pass on how much he drinks because he isn’t an angry drunk, and he’s also open about his drinking. This is unusual for alcoholics, since many of them are ashamed of it and so they hide their drinking, and then also become angry/resentful and even violent.
But regardless of what kind of drunk you are, it does the same harm to your system. It makes no difference whether you’re a party animal like Bert or if you drink alone in some depressing fashion.
@@saberswordsmen1 My father in law was exactly the same, he used to brag and brag about being able to “Drink us all under the table”. That was until 2 years ago when he was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and had to have 3 operations. Now he drinks alcohol free beer.
I’m at 8 years dry and I can’t even begin to tell you how much better my life is. If anyone reading this is thinking about taking the sobriety plunge do it. You won’t regret it.
I’m not completely sober but I will say this, the times I now drink, the days after are awful.
Yeah alcoholism isn't a joke and it isn't charming. Bert is a serious alcoholic and we shouldn't just laugh and smile about it. Congratulations to you hope you and every other alcoholic can kick the poison don't need it to live quite the opposite.
@@kaibe5241 That's when I quit. When I started feeling bad longer than I felt good.
6 Years for me & living my best, most exciting life ever !
@@thecalmbro People would rather laugh and joke to compensate for the uncomfortable feeling of reality. It’s really unfortunate but most people just continually lie to themselves until death.
I've been sober for 2.5 years through AA and it's hard for me to listen to Bert talk about his drinking. The reason that it's so hard is because its like my alcoholism talking to me and telling me that I don't really have a problem. It takes rigorous self honesty to get sober.
This 💯
Proud of you homie! Stay strong
Or one could drink u die anyway
@@DanielAndersssonAlcoholism is likely to kill you faster and in a worse manner. Cause that's another one "I'd rather die at 70 than be 90 and messed up", no buddy, you'll be 65 and messed up and then die at 70, it's not like you're awsome and then lights out.
I just reached my 500th sober day . I was a drinker like Bert. I can’t even remember how many “drinks” I’d have in a day. I never counted…I didn’t want to know. I also believe drinking triggered my dopamine levels . The only time I was ever really happy was right before I’d pour that first shot. Bert doesn’t have that desire that I had to quit so he is just a cautionary tale to me now. I can see where my life would have gone by watchjng Bert’s future unravel. I hate alcoholism now and I never want another drink. Good luck Bert 😢
Hate to be "that guy" but most alcoholics have their consumption down to a science. I know exactly how many drinks i need to get drunk, and how much it costs. Not saying you weren't, an alcoholic, but you were definitely a different kind... lol
Uhh..I don’t know about that man I wouldn’t really keep count after I started blacking out. Guess im a fraud alcoholic though :(
Congrats on the 500..💪
“I’ll never quit drinking.” I said that myself 20 years ago, and by the time I was in my 50’s, it became obvious that I had reached the backside of the fun with alcohol. Nothing dramatic or anything, just the realization it was making me slightly ill and the best part of it only lasted maybe 15 minutes after the first sip. To each his own, but even Bert will hit a wall at some point.
I was 40. Same as you there was no big reason other than I work hard all week and on the weekend days that I finally had a little bit of time to be with my family I was wasting that precious time feeling hungover.
@@CasperLD k
I'm close to 50 and notice the same thing. The buzzes seem to get shorter and shorter and the hangovers get longer and longer. And this is "fun"?
My experience too. I'll maybe have a couple in the future here or there. But I'm done w the everyday
The make or break moment will be when his wife leaves him
6:28 tom turning to Nedav and crew and basically saying "he's shitting on Bert without knowing" killed me.
LOL 😂
Tom looks a lot healthier than he has in a long time. Well done.
I'm starting my journey of NO drinking today. The thought scares me, I lived on the idea I could drink once a week, but found, I'd fall right back into my habits of 3,4,7 days a week. The drink "Once a week" is an impossibility for me.
It's good stuff. Everyone is different, but when I stopped all of my stress and anxiety left with it. Then, the things I enjoyed while drinking got even better. I had one hiccup 4 months into it for a night and quickly saw that I was over it.
I hope you didn’t drink today. One day at a time. Go to a meeting and meet some people that are willing to help you cope. Call those people when you have the urge. They will be glad to talk to you. I had people offer to come to my house and sit through it with me. It can be done and it eventually gets better and easier. You’ll still have craving but it gets a lot easier to cope on your own. I’m almost three months sober from drinking about 12 beers every day. I went to detox for three days when I quit. Best decision I have ever made. My last days drinking were my worst days ever. I’m lucky to be alive.
I’m the same way. I told myself only on the weekends but I could never stick to just weekends.
I started trying to drink less at 21 and fell into that trap for about 6 years lol 30 now and been sober for three years. From my experience I’ll always be one drink away from total relapse; like I said I tested this theory for six years lol
Good luck to you. Don’t be too hard on yourself but take it seriously. Those six years of mine lead to a vicious cycle of binge drinking which will kill you a lot faster and do a lot more damage then daily drinking.
I'm just like you. I stopped for dry Jan and it's been wonderful. I'm also nervous about the month ending bc in so all or nothing. I really have loved this though and I am working on a plan to keep it going.
Bert in AA would be telling stories that make everyone else miss their drinking days, bad idea lol. Would be good for Bert and awful for everyone else.
You're supposed to focus on sobriety and not drinking stories at an AA meeting.
@@seanA416 that's his point, Bert would be telling drinking stories.
@@slyesttrash6778 yes and my point is that won't fly at an NA/AA meeting.
@@seanA416 the guy who originally commented wasn't saying it would "fly" at an AA meeting...
AA is a worthless cult
I've tried quiting so many times and I finally read that Allen Carr book and haven't touched it since. I'm not saying it works for everyone or that the hypnosis worked, but it certainly changed my mindset about alcohol. It gave me better tools and thoughts to talk myself out of any craving that ever comes.i sleep better but the best thing is I'm not so angry anymore. No more fits of rage at the slightest inconvenience that interrupted my drinking habits. I can actually hang out and have fun with friends instead of getting black out drunk and forgetting most of the night.
A friend's Dad was an alcoholic. He drank himself to diabetes. Eventually it got the best of him and towards the end he only had 4 fingers left on his hands, half of one leg and only 3 toes on the other foot. Saw him go from a healthy 180 lbs to a frightening 80 lbs when he died. He was in his mid 40s.
Insulin resistance is apparently a likely cause of many afflictions, including Dementia, reduced sexual function, increased inflamation, nerve damage, etc. Alcohol is one way to create insulin resistance, but not the only way by a long shot. Eating lots of processed foods and sugar and carbohydrate can have the same effect, as well as snacking too often.
@@brushstroke3733 Good to know.
Huberman is one of my favorite guests in the YMH lineup. His podcast is fascinating.
Andrew looks like if Tom and Steven Segal had a child.
Imagine those genetics.
This is quite an unnerving realization
I always see Brian Austin Green from Beverly Hills 90210.
Spot on
6:00 That chuckle from Tom, I assume thinking about Berts Machine story is hilarious.
When he brought up being around an alcoholic who would repeat the same story over and over again rings so true. I had a sever alcoholic neighbor who would do just that and it became mind numbingly frustrating.
As an alcoholic, the old stories thing is absolutely true. Me and so many of my friends are guilty of it
I severely lowered my alcohol consumption, lost 40 pounds, and am in better shape in my mid 30s than in my mid 20s. I have more money, sleep better, and feel less emotional stress. Nothing beats a cold beer on a hot day with sports on TV, but i treat that like a Snickers bar: nice treat every now and then.
A guy ain’t gonna live long drinking every day like that. There’s an abundance of alcoholics in rural Minnesota and I’ve seen so many friends and family and neighbors tip over early because of it.
Rural Wisconsin would like a word
@@mplslawnguy3389 For real.
Some of the most intense alcoholics I ever met were from Minnesota. Those long cold winters
MN and Wisconsin... Yep. Family experience from it.
However some of the best people I ever met while I was in the service were from Minnesota and Wisconsin both Male and female.
I love seeing Andrew’s reaction to Bert’s drinking problem! Hahaha 😅 can’t wait for the intervention!
Really Really appreciate this genuine, eloquent, informed, not shying away from saying what needs to be said response. In the context of a comedian's podcast, I think most people would be content to make a semi fatalistic joke about it, then move on to something else, but he really tried to get a message across to Bert specifically. Really love Huberman for that.
Man, I can’t imagine always being in an uphill battle day after day. Working out to slightly counteract the effects of drinking is like cleaning up trash, then dumping trash back on the ground.
Andrew Huberman basically saved my life
N.A. saved my life! Got caught up in the opioid epidemic in my fifties after two neck surgeries. It was hell but so happy to be off that crap!
"Hey Brent other people get to talk in this meeting" dude that's so true. The rooms are literally my practice stage.
21 days with no weed for me, after 10ish years of daily smoking and no longer than a 2 week break. Excited for my own New Story in 2023.
Hell yeah dude, I also just cut out bud. Best of luck!
Good luck to you. Five months without weed for me, and not always easy. About half the time I feel upbeat and well, the other half the time I feel uninterested in anything and down on myself and life in general.
I had 27 years of heavy daily use though, so yoir brain and body may recover much quicker. I did take a year and a half off once before in 2006 - 2008, but fell back into regular use quite quickly once I started again.
I think I'd like to use it between once a week and once a month, but right now I want to go at least two years before I try playing with that fire again.
I cut it out too. Did it back in July and it’s crazy how I always thought I could never enjoy movies, music, etc without weed, and now I enjoy those things so much more because I don’t have such high expectations of entertainment. I can just exist and experience with no self-applied pressure
@Formosan That's all true and good advice, but for me I just couldn't control myself that way. For a short while after quitting cannabis for a few months, I was often able to only smoke on the weekends which was awesome, but it always eventually turned into daily use. Then I would ramp up to smoking minimum 5 to 10 hits every couple hours. As you said, that leads to it being less effective, less enjoyable, and life seeming to go by very quickly and in a blurr.
Also, for many years I only drank on weekends, though I always drank to get drunk. I couldn't stop at buzzed or I would start to come down and feel like crap, so I just kspt drinking until it was time for bed. Then I was laid off and had no reason not to drink every day, so that became the habit. Amd though I wanted to stop every day, something in my mind would turn at around 1:00 AM and then I'd go out and buy at least a six pack of strong beer/ale, or a twelve pack of eighteen pack of lighter beer, and guzzle it all down by 5:00 or 6:00 AM, all while smoking weed and cigarettes roughly hourly.
I wish I could maintain using in moderation, but once Dr. Jeckyl lets Mr. Hyde out, Mr. Hyde takes over. It's like dancing with a 400 lb gorilla - I'm going to stop when he wants to stop. Good for you that you aren't as deeply damaged that you don't need substances to self medicate your self loathing though! You're a lucky duck!
This is so honest. I hope people can be this open about me.
i'm looking to take my first steps into getting help before the year ends. i can't lie and say that i want to, but i also can't lie and say that i don't want to, if that makes sense. it feels like i'll never be strong enough to quit but also if i don't i'm never going to really be happy and i'm not going to live for very long. 23 and have been drinking for almost 10 years. sick of it, but paralyzed in terms of reaching out. stuff like this helps me look the right way a lot. i hope i actually do it. props to all the sober & recovering in the comments, too. it's really impressive and it's nice to see the other side, even though i know it's not always easy there either
Sober for almost 4 years now. Learning about esophageal varices was the nail in the coffin for me. Gnarly way to go.
Oh horrible man I met someone in rehab who had this, scary
I have similar struggles with alcohol so I definitely understand bert. I'm genuinely surprised he's able to do this into his 50's. I'm 35 and find myself tired of booze a little more each day,
3 weeks quit now. 33. Been sick of drinking for a few years and recently it was all negative. A few years ago i could drink up to a liter of liquor and be fine the next day. Now 2 tallboy ipas are too much. 3 and i end up puking. Didn't feel "good", didn't feel good and it was a cycle. Tired the next day from drinking, too tired to fight the urge so it was one more day, one more day. I've had a few minor cravings but overall I feel it's not been a part of my life. I just said I'm done and was done. Feel much better, next to kick is weed then nicotine
End stage alcoholism doesn't discriminate based on your age. My best friend died of organ failure on her 27th birthday. The last song she played for me was called 'Take Me Home' and it became her funeral song 12 days later. It would've been her 30th birthday on the 1st of January this year but instead it was another anniversary of mourning with her family, singing over a cake we'll never share.
It's not too late to change your path. You are worthy of help. You are worthy of life.
@@SLC09 thank you
I’m 47 and more often than not can skip alcohol for the more awsome “high” of waking up feeling fresh enjoying a cup of coffee. Oh and love having to poop only once that day it’s the best
@@deltahomicide9300coffee is pretty bad for you too (it can be) I’d hope you don’t do it literally every day
With alcohol, it doesn't matter if you can stop for a week or month like Bert often does. The fact that you have to make a point of not drinking means you have dysfunctional drinking habits. The fact that you wouldn't ever go a week without drinking unless you were making a point of it is also a problem.
12-18 drinks a day is insane. I watched my uncle drink a 5th of whiskey a day and he was dead within 3 years at 42. I can’t fucking believe Bert is still alive
I love Bert ! Because of That i hope the Drinking will be lese! He is just a Great Humanbeing ❤
Im 36 years old and im at day 12 of being sober, I was drinking around 4-8 drinks a day for around the past 6 years. Ive replaced my drinks with non alcoholic beers and i have like 2 of those a day to still feel like im having a drink while i push through the first 2 weeks of alcohol withdrawal's. Anyone struggling should at first try to swap them out with non alcoholic drinks to help break the habit.
No they shouldn’t
@@straightcashhomey1261 why not
No they shouldn’t. They should go to a detox facility.
@@123dslaz not everyone's a pussy
Andrew's combinatuin of buff body, epic beard, astonishing level of intelligence, and good looks in conjunction with his cape like outfit makes him look like a Marvel Comics villain...
He looks like a guy that likes to skip shaving and put on that same black shirt
Its tough when you know something is bad, but you love it. A tale as old as time I'm sure
A friend of mine was diagnosed with brain shrinkage from alcohol abuse. It's real and scary, he cut back and is doing better but that won't make life easier as you age.
Thank God Bert’s Alcoholism is being talked about in a serious light finally and not just as a joke. Never thought it was funny that he’s drinking himself to an early grave and everyone just laughs. It’s the only part of YMH that disappoints me.
Eh you see 50/50. The comedian podcasters joke about it because that's just how they deal with everything. But in comments you see a good mix of "haha Bert's a dumb drunk" balanced with genuine concern. I'm more disappointed when I see those positive, caring comments get mocked.
My dad's dad was an alcoholic, and my dad is currently an alcoholic. I started drinking heavy around 15 years old, picked up smoking tobacco, and started doing drugs all the way up until 2 years ago. I quit drugs a lot earlier than that maybe like 8 years before hand, but I was still pretty heavy into alcohol, and Smoking. Well 2 years ago I kicked smoking, and drinking all together, and went from 265lbs down to 167lbs, now currently lean bulking back up to about 180 ish. Never felt better in my life, and being addicted to something is not worth it. Its okay to break addictions, and even though its hard, You will be 10x more mentally stronger afterwards.
You sound great
Andrew is such a smart and considering dude.
At 5:00, finally I laughed to the point where it hurt. Ty Tom I desperately needed that one.
That laugh coming from the background gets me every time 😂 and Tom just looks over and smiles
I have to say I find it pretty off putting..it’s too pervasive..occasionally for something really funny or un- expected but all the time 😒
@@jamesaurther1178it’s starting to get annoying. It’s like the guy saw a few comments saying how much his laugh adds and so he laughs at things that are hardly funny. It was just said when Andrew said “there’s a name for that, it’s alcoholism” was not funny in any way. Every knows it’s alcoholism and it’s sad.
It’s so irritating
That laugh from the background is obnoxious. I hope he stops! Jesus Christ
Nadav’s laugh is enough to make me not want to watch. How does he have a voice at this point?
Sounds like for Bert (Bart) drinking has become synomous with connection. In my experience, that's one of the hardest things to overcome with alcohol addiction; it's also one of the most rewarding things about healing from alcohol addiction. Connection become more abundant.
The laughter in the background always makes everything funnier
thanks andrew for being honest and dr drew who is just being his friend and a bystander
Nadav's laughing makes this video so much funnier when Huberman reacts to Bert's weekly drink numbers
Tom has Rza's Bobby Digital, Digital Bullet album behind him. That is one damn good album. My favorite track is Domestic Violence 2 with Big Gipp from Goodie Mobb. Sounds like exactly what it is, Wu Tang crossed with the Dirty South. It's amazing. Even the album cover art is great. I had no idea Tom had great taste in music.That's such a deep cut, and gives me a whole new perspective and respect for Tom. I wonder what else he's into.
Tom talks with dj Premier. was such a good episode, just watching tom fan out tommy is a hip hop head
"B*tch, you want to be a nurse? You gotta school first, to be a nurse" Bob Digi you know who izzy
If anyone has a drinking problem I highly suggest looking into naltrexone and the Sinclair method. I was drinking about a point of whisky a night sometimes with some beers too, and quit within about a month. Just took a pill an hour before drinking, did my normal thing and eventually just stopped craving it. I know it doesn't work for everyone, especially people who drink throughout the day, but I was very surprised at how well it worked for me. I had been drinking every day for about 5 years and it took me one month to just not want to do it anymore.
can you say some more about this? i quit 2 1/2 years ago and I'm trying to help a friend do the same. he takes anabuse but he takes "breaks" and then can't stop drinking again.
Don’t you need to get sober for 7 days before you start it? I used Naltrexone once to curb my alcohol intake one night and I was physically addicted to kratom (a baby opiate) at the same time. I took 50mg and within an hour I was in full kratom withdrawal. Runny nose, stuff nose, achy muscles, lethargy. So I assume taking Naltrexone while physically addicted to alcohol could cause you to go into full withdrawals which can be very serious as naltrexone doesn’t allow the alcohol neurotransmitters to bind. So you need to be physically unaddicted before taking it
@@Jumpingjackflash123 the opiate antaogonists will always put you in withdrawal syndromes if you have any opioid addiction.
I liked Tom trying to recreate Bert’s motivational speech and bailing immediately
I'm also apart of that 8%, but I never drink. Ive had too many people take advantage of my happy-go-lucky attitude while drunk. It's crazy tho, waking up with more energy than usual while I'm "hungover". It doesn't feel like a healthy kinda energy but it works, I guess. I get 4 hours of weird sleep, or I just don't sleep at all and just sober up and go about my day. It's like drinking drugged caffeine lol even better when I drink red bull all night too.
I know your feeling. Being 50/50 finnish/swedish having the exact same experience. I usually just just at the end of the night replenished electrolytes and ate a bunch of carbs and when the buss ran of I went to sleep. And the day after is a super good feeling
Yea, ur still drunk ya dopes.
Andrew is a fantastic guest, would love to see him breakdown Crystal
I’ve never seen him speak on that subject but it would be interesting I imagine
4:08 I wish he would speak more to this. It's severely underestimated, especially by heavy drinkers, how regular drinking limits your potential.
andrew huberman has helped me become sober
Same
I'll be coming up on 3 months sober soon, I feel so much better .
I have always been an social drinker and rarely drink by myself. Now that I am getting older the affects of drinking sucks which makes me want to not drink at all. I feel for those that need alcohol
“New Stories” Really like that
Once you stop drinking, you lose all your close friends only to find your all of yall were alcoholics hanging out together. Not friends.
Same thing with cocaine
I'm sober but I used to drink 12-16 shots of straight vodka a day and didn't think it was a problem for a long time. It is. I don't think the general public truly understands what is considered one drink.
Man that dopamine thing hit home. I recently gave up drinking just for better health and mental reasons. Was a weekend drinker, but I remember I’d be so excited on Friday driving to the bar and my excitement was really about having the first drink. The weird thing is I always stopped at about 3-4 drinks because I began getting bored while everyone else kept drinking.
Water champ looking great!
Burt has built his public identity on being a party machine. I hope he finds it with in himself to quit drinking and reinvents himself. It will be hard but he strikes as someone that can do it!
I can't drink any alcohol because it makes my scalp flare up and I start to lose a crazy amount of hair. I guess its good and bad because I have a load of fun drinking but its not worth losing my hair over.
I used to love drinking and the fact that after 3 beers the night could head in any direction but unfortunately that stuff is poison and that's exactly how started to feel... poisoned every time I drank.
I get that increase of dopamine when i drink, it's such a rush of happiness and excitement. I'm trying to find that something else to trigger that feeling that isn't harmful
I really wish Bert would stop drinking so much or at all... I'll keep that in my wish bank. ❤️✨
Bingo. He has to abstain. This is NOT flirting with drinking. He is all in.
Wow, I truly learned something new. The small brain from years of constant drinking, making the person repeat the exact same stories. Someone very close to me is that way.
My last drink was in November 2019. I didn't drink weekly and I didn't even drink monthly… But there were a dozen and a half times a year or so, where I just got wasted. 2 day hangovers end emotional overloads.
I haven't had a drink since. My body and mind are so much better for it. It wasn't even purposeful, it's not like I put down the alcohol and said, I'm never drinking again.
The next time an opportunity popped up after that November night, I just turned it down and then, without a blink, I realized I hadn't had a drink in three months, and then I blinked again and it was six months, so I told myself I'll just keep going. Now here I am working on 4 years
If you're even thinking about it, I recommend you do it just to see how you
I don’t know anything about the people in this video (other than Andrew) but i found it sad that there was so much laughter when Andrew was explaining how serious of a problem alcoholism is.
I would never say Bert has any kind of diagnosable disorder because I could never know, but I will say Bert's behaviour is very similar to the people I know who have Bi-Polar 1. Chasing emotional highs, easily cries, addiction issues, does everything to the max never halfway. Not dissimilar to ADHD behaviours either.
Alcohol abuse can result in a sort of mimicry of many mental disorders. Bipolar Disorder is a notable one. ADHD seems likely to me, but I dunno how much we can speculate about others unless he gets sober for an extended period.
ad 05:35 when Tom says "Mickey Mantle dies at 56" and looks over at the production crew, he is thinking "yeah he is totally gonna die from alcohol". Tom is such a great friend LUL
The guy cracking up in the background is the best part of this video.
@@formosan2823 it wasn’t the sound of an obese woman squealing, so I dunno
Bert has alot of visceral fat, which happens from sustained alcohol consumption and it's the fat that's surrounding the organs.
Bert still thinks he's got 2000 weeks left I'm sure.
He’s got between 20-200 is more realistic and the 200 is being generous
@@federicowicho8802 It's impossible to predict how long, but I doubt he'll make it to 70 at this rate. If it's not the alcohol, the way he eats is terrible for your heart if it's habitual.
Hopefully, he changes course, but I don't think he will unless 1) Leanne leaves him, 2) one or both of his daughters stop talking to him, or 3) he has a *very* serious health scare. Even then, I'm not sure.
Everyone’s bottom is different and it takes what it takes for someone to realize that…still doubt Bert stops and he’s dead no later than 59
I drink a bottle and Half of wine a day .. and not regual size bottles either ..
Hoping detox helps ..
But like Bert, I love drinking too
Bert, dude, I used to wake up to drinking, hospitalized w a .41 BAC. I figured out how to be the same person sober, it’s all in your head that you have “social anxiety”. Plus BPC 157 to repair lover and pancreas. 1 year later I’m down 35lbs and blood pressure of a teen at 32.
I love how Andrew roasted the hell out of blart and didn't even mean to 😂
All jokes aside, if Bert won't do it for himself he should do it for his wife and kids
he's kinda shown that even that is not enough. I'm surprised his wife hasn't confronted him on it seriously, but I guess he is her meal ticket.
@@bh-0330 she's probably going to divorce him, get money that way and ride that personal trainer. I wouldn't even blame her. He's a frat boy who's never going to grow up and it's eventually going to drink himself to death.
I mean, honestly, the social aspects are usually too muddled to pay attention to when you drink that much. The way it changes what seems valuable to people is pretty staggering.
He is kinda narcissistic, but I hope he can see outside if himself and do that
My last drink was New Year’s Eve 1999. I woke up New Year’s Day with a killer hangover so decided to have a dry January and felt so good not drinking for a month I never bothered starting to drink again.
Is Andrew Huberman chugging a Rockstar while downing alcohol? We have WAY more data on booze than we do Energy Drink usage.
Bert doesn't love alcohol...he hates the feeling of alcohol withdrawal.
1 bear 12 steps
😆
Tom's face at 1:36 🤣
My little brother started drinking at 14 & passed away 2 years ago at 29. His liver failed… this is real.
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this... should I share this video with one of my oldest, best friends who is in denial of being an alcoholic? We've had discussions about his drinking before, fights about it, I've suggested therapy, I've been supportive as much as I can by being understanding, and forgiving, other times trying to show tough love. Nothing seems to flip the switch in their brain.
It's gotten to the point (we're 30) where we just don't talk about it anymore, and rarely talk about anything other than "the good ol days" and it's really causing a huge hinderance on his growth as a person. It also feels draining being his friend now, there's so much inside that is buried deep, but he won't share anymore. I don't know if it would be too "passive aggressive" to share something like this, but I don't know what else to do about it.
I say share it!
No one can tell an alcoholic when to quit. If it continues to be a real problem consider taking care of yourself and attend an Al-Anon meeting. You can't change his behavior but you can try to change yours.
Sound like a dying friendship my guy
It seems like you've known the guy for awhile. If you are in contact with any of his relatives/close loved ones it may help to talk to him together. Sorry to hear about your friend.
Unfortunately he has to make the choice if it feels forced they will always go back , that’s how it was for me. At some point everyone was tired of me and I decided I didn’t want to lose them over a drink so I stopped and our friendship grew stronger cause they know I want to better myself
So everyday except 1day a week he drinks atleast 8 drinks a day nice of Tom to word it like that but he basically said he takes Sundays off and drinks every single day alot
My propensities are more geared towards drugs like opioids which I’ve expunged from my life in my early 20s. I understand the perpetual lowering of our tonic dopamine baselines. Constantly outcompeting endogenous dopamine with exogenous. Praying for Bert.
Found this pretty interesting. I'm on a 10 yr bender, but specifically the last couple years of mostly what was described here. Might take a night off a week. But most nights are 6 beers + 1/2 of a 750Ml bottle of 35% apple whiskey, some nights are half that. But it's been a constant. I'm 37, feel better than I did at 22, look better than I did then too, but I don't know the longevity of this.
You sound like you’re doing great man keep it up
Bert needs to realize how special he is. He has a deep seeded issue, probably from childhood that needs to be analyzed. It's to the point that he's not funny anymore on the pods. But he sure cracks himself up.
I don't find him funny. His laugh is a high pitch phonie one. He is that monotonous alcoholic, but only because he...for this moment...is on the side sadle of the horse.
The kicker is in the end
Wait till his wife dumps him. And then it's bye bye. He isn't strong enough for that. Bingo.
I personally don’t find him that funny or talented, he seems like he doesn’t just need, but requires everyone’s attention and affection. I know his type. He found it in drinking and being the party guy at a young age and never left the party. It’s not unique.
@@Ash-uk9fkThe money, it will cost him & the girls siding with the mom will break him
Ughhhh. Sweetheart, not everything is due to a “deep seeded issue from childhood”. God broads are so dramatic.
Hearing the producer cackle in the background every episode is the worst part of YMH
What an absolutely awful addition to a podcast that was once funny. Every time I hear that guy’s laugh I want to punch something
