A tire exploded.

- Yeah. - I've had a time like this. - We didn't even notice and then we just kind of pulled over.

And then randomly, my sister was driving down the street and my daughters have elf legs hanging outta the back of my trunk.
40
- Yeah. I thought you just called your daughter's legs elf legs.
41
- I did too!
42
I was like, "Wait, what?" - elf legs.
43
- Oh, they have them trapped.
44
- So my sister pulled over.
45
I got someone to take me to work and then...
46
Yeah, it wasn't that bad.
47
- Okay.
48
- I was gonna say, did you change the tire or did you have someone?
49
But you went, "okay." - This person does not, This person does not change the tire.
50
- I don't know.
51
- Do not tell me you don't know how to change a tire.
52
- This king does not even drive.
53
- You know how to change the tire?
54
- This king does not drive.
55
- You look like such a grown man with that beard.
56
Come on. - Oh, no, I looks like a man but I'm not.
57
- Oh, God.
58
My daughter Ila called the other day and she goes, "Hey, put mom on the phone." I go, "What do you need?" She goes, "Put mom on the phone." I go, "what do you need?" She goes, "How do I turn the water on in my house?" I go, "Let me get your mom." - Yeah.
59
Oh, my God.
60
- I'm not that man.
61
- You married up.
62
I like it, Okay. - Can I tell you a weird a little fact about Bert?
63
- LeeAnne, who I'm playing in the show, was like folding his laundry in Atlanta.
64
And there was a little tiny adorable girly floral shorts that were like this wide.
65
- I was like, "Oh, those are cute, LeeAnne." She's like, "These are Bert's workout shorts." - And I was like, "What?" "Have you seen him?" - Workout shorts!
66
- He has the tiniest little hips and he wears these little tiny shorty shorts.
67
- I wear them.
68
Okay, look.
69
This is in the show.
70
I wear them for real.
71
- He does.
72
I wear them everywhere.
73
I wear short shorts. - He does.
74
- And flip flops- - You don't think it's tiny? - and then a sweatshirt.
75
And so then they go to do wardrobe.
76
They're like, "What are you gonna wear to drop the girls off?" I go, "What I normally wear." And then I saw what I looked like. - Booty shorts! Booty shorts!
77
- Aggressive.
78
It is aggressive.
79
- It's a lot, it's a lot.
80
- But also impressive.
81
The boldness. - It's impressive and aggressive.
82
"Free Bert:" Impressive and aggressive.
83
- If I'm still that guy driving the kids, I'd be like, "I'd have a beer with him." - Right, right? - He looks fun.
84
- He's a good time. - Yeah, I have a good time.
85
- Everybody wants a beer with him.
86
So wait, this is inspired by your real life, right?
87
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
88
A hundred percent.
89
- How stoked was your family about that?
90
- Not at all.
91
My girls, you don't understand how precious anonymity is until you take someone's away.
92
And I made both my girls famous.
93
When Ila got her period, I shared that story.
94
- Ooh. - Without...
95
Oh, yeah. She was excited, as excited as you are. That's right, that's right.
96
- Ah.
97
- But then it went viral and she became a little bit of a feminist icon.
98
And then she liked that.
99
- And she liked it.
100
- See?
101
- Then she had a period party.
102
I don't know if you've heard of these but- red velvet cake, Kool-Aid.
103
- Red velvet cake!
104
- Oh, she named her period Jason 'cause she had it on Friday the 13th.
105
- Wow! - Your whole family is funny.
106
- No, no, no. So then Ila and Georgia tried to kill the project and we're like, "You can't go to Netflix and shut this down?" And like, 'you need our approval." And then we shot the pilot.
107
We showed them the pilot and both of them loved it.
108
And they're like, "All right, we're cool with it." - It's really good.
109
It's really good.
110
- You basically get to, with LeeAnne, you get to hang out.
111
I play LeeAnne.
112
LeeAnne helped pick me.
113
I felt like, I don't know.
114
I love Bert and I've done standup with Bert and I had like a soft spot for Bert.
115
And then I remember when I auditioned for it, I felt like LeeAnne and Bert reminds me...
116
LeeAnne reminds me of my mom.
117
But I felt like, "if you love Bert..." I understood LeeAnne.
118
I felt like, "If you love Bert, you love everything about Bert, you love that he's a wild card, you love that he wears shorty shorts." You know what I mean?
119
You love. And so when I went in to audition, I intentionally was like, "You are not surprised when like the shorts are on and the shirt is off.
120
You love this man and that's why you love him." And I felt it reminded me of my mom.
121
I just love LeeAnne.
122
- Whoa! - Can I just say this.
123
They've been together for 25 years and you're gonna deny it.
124
But he did say to me, if anything ever happens to LeeAnne, I will never kiss another woman.
125
And it was written into the script and we kissed a few times.
126
He would not kiss me.
127
And one time he went like this and then we finished and he goes, "LeeAnne, I just cheated on you!" - I count it, I count it.
128
- She was feeling pretty good about it.
129
- LeeAnne loved her, LeeAnne loved her.
130
- Aw. - When she came in and auditioned, she walked in the room and LeeAnne went, "That's her." - Aw!
131
- And what's crazy is she was the first person to walk in the room and LeeAnne knew it.
132
She goes, that's her.
133
I want her.
134
- Oh, I love that.
135
That's gotta feel good.
136
- 'Cause I made sure at first, like when I went in, I made sure to go immediately meet LeeAnne.
137
I remember asking, 'cause we had a lot of improv and you had a scene where you were crying.
138
And I remember asking if it was okay if I touched you.
139
You're like, "Ha, ha, ha, bring in the intimacy coordinator." I'm like, "This isn't for you.
140
This is for your wife." - Like, "I'm touching your husband." Like, "I'm not asking." I'm making sure she knows. I'm not trying to like edge in.
141
- He snorted again.
142
- It's my sleep apnea.
143
- He should do the whole segment with a mask..
144
- Do the machine at home.
145
I love it. You're getting sexier by the minute, man.
146
The shorts, the sleep apnea, it's all happening.
147
- I got the Mounjaro rash, everything.
148
- Whoo! - God, I love you so much.
149
We need a short break.
150
- Yeah.
151
- We're back with Arden Myrin and Bert Kreischer.
152
That was the look of their new series "Free Bert." You can catch it on Netflix.
153
This was surprising to me, but this is technically your first lead role.
154
- This is my first TV.
155
It's my first time being a leading lady!
156
- Congratulations!
157
- Oh, my gosh!
158
- Finally, finally, finally!
159
- It's so cool.
160
- What took so long?
161
- I don't know, but now is your moment. - She waited for Tom Cruise.
162
"I'm in love, I'm in love!" Oh, finally, - Jumping on the couch. - Finally.
163
It's my first time being a leading lady.
164
- What did you do when you found out? I freaked out.
165
I was so excited.
166
I started screaming.
167
I freaked out.
168
You wonder if you're ever gonna get a chance to show everything you can do.
169
And I felt like I finally get to show what I can do.
170
And both of us got to show that not only are we silly people, but like, we're real people.
171
And it's fun. I felt very connected with you.
172
I love that.
173
I'm glad it's with Bert.
174
I love Bert.
175
- Well, congrats.
176
That's awesome, man. - Thank you.
177
- Also, congratulations because you're doing an off Broadway musical, right?
178
- I wrote a musical.
179
- That's incredible.
180
- I did, I did.
181
I wrote a musical.
182
- Can you share what it's about?
183
- Yes, it's called "Space Cowgirl." It's a rock comedy.
184
Look. It's a rock comedy about a- it's about an astronaut love triangle.
185
There's some pretty exciting people that we've cast that I can't announce yet, but it's gonna be this fall.
186
It's so, it's like Hedwig meets Atanya meets Book of Mormon- and it'll be- - What?
187
- And there's some fun people.
188
I've read it with Avery Pearson who did the music for Jeff Ross's show and it's called "Space Cowgirl." And you guys all have to come. You have to come, you have to come. - From the picture alone.
189
I'll show up.
190
- Will you come?
191
- Just the picture alone?
192
That's the best marketing campaign ever, that picture.
193
- Thank you.
194
- Oh, my gosh.
195
But wait, before we go though, I hear you brought a little surprise, right?
196
- Okay, I brought a present for you 'cause.
197
- For me? - Yeah, Bert is like Santa Claus.
198
And so he's always giving presents to everybody.
199
- Here it is.
200
- So he would order like 400 cheeseburgers from McDonald's to set and stuff like that for everybody.
201
He just gives presses to everyone.
202
And so this is for you and LeeAnne.
203
And just to thank you for picking me and for my- - Wow! - So I love you guys and...
204
Yeah, you can slide it off.
205
- Slide it off? - Just rip it off, just rip it.
206
- I'm like, "Are you like this at Christmas?" - This I took the final night of filming.
207
It was right after we wrapped. It was four in the morning and LeeAnne climbed into your- Oh, you're crying. - I'm not crying.
208
I'm not crying.
209
Oh, yeah.
210
LeeAnne- - No, I got makeup in my eyes.
211
It's the makeup lady's fault.
212
- LeeAnne climbed into your lap- - Oh, I wanna see!
213
- And it was so intimate.
214
It was our last day we'd wrapped and it was four in the morning and I took a picture of you all and then I snuck out 'cause I was like, "Oh, this is really private." but that sums up- - This is really private!
215
- Whoa, I'm gonna go now!
216
- This is like, "I shouldn't be here." - Real like she climb in your lap and look at his face.
217
Like, just like you did it. - Aw.
218
Like I know you've been working hard to show your family and truly like, "I'm so happy.
219
This is my first..." This show, your family's unusual, but I think everyone will relate to it.
220
- It's a weird family. - And I think that everyone who feels like we have a different family, like their family is like everyone's family and so we're around like the rich people, but it's like "Caddyshack," where we're the ones infiltrating the snotty people.
221
I'm like- "You're the fun one." - We're cousin Eddie.
222
- I really think if you are a real family, that when you get in the car after drop-off, you're like, "Can you believe those lunatics?" You'll love this show.
223
- Yeah, and so that to me summed up your dynamic.
224
And I took that picture of you guys and I wanted to give it to you.
225
- I love you, I love you.
226
- Ooh! - Oh, my God.
227
- I love you two. - Oh, my God. I love you.
228
- I love y'all so much.
229
We need another break.
230
You can see "Free Bert" now on Netflix.

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video
Shadowing—repeating speech immediately after the speaker—is a powerful english speaking practice technique. Here’s how to use this video:
1. Focus on Intonation and Pacing
The dialogue is fast and conversational. Pause after short clips (5-10 seconds) and mimic the shadowspeak rhythm—notice how laughter and interruptions affect tone. This builds fluency in casual settings.
2. Highlight Colloquialisms
Phrases like "kindred spirits" or "elf legs" are informal. Use a shadowing site to slow down the audio, then repeat these phrases until they sound natural. This helps with real-world comprehension.
3. Practice Interruptions and Responses
The speakers often cut each other off. Shadow the quick replies (e.g., "Really?" or "I’ve had a time like this") to learn how to engage in dynamic conversations. This is key for shadow speak mastery.

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've had · you've heard · I've done |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | was drunk · is inspired · was written |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
