Bert shares his inaugural experience with VR adult content.
Bert Kreischer is enthralled by his first VR pornography experience, which involved interacting with a virtual Russian woman in a red dress. His avatar boasts abs, limited pubes, and skinny legs, and he finds himself in what appears to be a nicely appointed kitchen, with details like his jeans flung aside that reinforce the realistic first-person perspective. Kreischer expresses amazement at the immersive nature of the experience and poses the question why anyone would need traditional dating when VR can so convincingly simulate an encounter.

Virtual Reality and Adult Content
Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura explore various entrepreneurial avenues, discussing potential business ventures and how to monetize unconventional ideas.
Bert Kreischer suggested creating a "Locker Room" fitness franchise that embodies the team spirit found in sport settings. He pitched the idea in the context of a 5k event they were planning and articulated that it should happen in Austin, where they both reside frequently.
Kreischer talks about adding the dimension of a unified goal to drive the bonding experience further, similar to how sports teams have a common goal. He imagines a community where people support each other and have shared workout times, specifically on Saturday mornings and suggests a goal for everyone on Sundays, enhancing the team spirit and creating a secret society feel where members recognize each other by their numbers even outside the facility.
Tom Segura expresses the camaraderie he misses from amateur and professional sports, which involves bonding over difficulties in the locker room. Kreischer envisions a locker room experience facility with a gym, equipment manager, doctor, strength and conditioning coaches, and a coach who acts like a therapist. He emphasizes having a physical goal that filters people out and drives them to work hard. Kreischer proposes that the franchise could involve locker rooms competing against each other, effectively creating mini sports teams where the focus is on working out to improve at a sport or physical activity.
Tom and Bert are in the process of reviewing submissions for their OnlyFans model search. They received various submissions, including photos, and commented on their suitability. For instance, Tom reads a submission from a prospective OnlyFans model who suggests an idea where the audience follows her "glow up" journey. This model is open to sharing her experiences and procedures candidly.

Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura engage in a heartfelt and curious conversation about the human-animal bond, focusing on their personal experiences and the complexities of pet ownership.
Bert Kreischer opens up about his personal journey with his beloved dogs, Mac and Izzy, exploring both the rewarding and poignant aspects of pet companionship.
Bert fondly recounts the distinct personalities of his dogs: Mac, who was trained as an "apocalypse dog" to protect their home, while Izzy remains a loyal companion that stays close to Bert at all times. He describes the bullmastiff as an incredible breed and shares the profound sense of loss he and his family experienced after Mac's passing. Bert notes the grief isn't just felt by the family but also affects Izzy, illustrating the complex dynamics that occur when a pet passes away.
Despite the longing to fill the void left by Mac, Bert's enthusiasm for getting another bullmastiff puppy is met with resistance from his wife, Leanne. Her hesitation stems from the responsibility of house-training a new puppy. Bert reveals they acquired their dogs in Arizona, and even though the breeder reached out after Mac's death, Leanne dismissed the idea of adding a new dog to the family.
As the conversation shifts from dogs to exotic pets, Tom and Bert are struck by the marvels of unique animal breeds and the implications of owning them.
The duo expresses their fascination with the Savannah cat, a striking hybrid between a domestic cat and a serval known fo ...
