Tom Unhappy With Nerve Test due to Doctor's Unfamiliarity With Arm Injury

Following the break in his arm, Tom underwent a nerve conduction test to assess the status of his radial nerve. He found the experience particularly dissatisfying because the medical professional was not familiar with his case. This lack of preparedness was evident when the professional had to reference a book during the appointment and asked Tom basic questions about the injury. The test, which involved electric shocks and needles, was uncomfortable for Tom and did not offer any new or useful information. Ultimately, it confirmed that he has radial nerve damage, but since it didn't provide any new insight or solutions, Tom walked away from the procedure unhappy.

Bert Not Often Recognized In Paris, Surprisingly

Bert Finds Lack of Homelessness and Overt Racism in Paris Odd

While jogging in Paris at 6 a.m., Bert was surprised by the perceived lack of homelessness and overt racism.

Bert Discusses Making Conversations About Himself

Bert Frustrates Wife and Friends By Redirecting Conversations To His Experiences

Bert Kreischer admits to often shifting the focus of conversations to his own experiences, much to the frustration of his wife, Leanne, and friends like Joe and Ari. This tendency comes to light when Leanne points out that Bert is making a conversation about himself even as they discuss this very issue over dinner. Kreischer recounts instances where he unintentionally dominates conversations, such as never allowing a friend to talk about his brother for over five years, or revealing financial details to Patrice O'Neal against his manager’s advice.

Bert's Fixation On Researching the Value of Pennies

Bert Tosses, Photographs, and Scans Pennies For Value

Bert Kreischer discloses his quirky pastime of tossing pennies around the city for others' good luck, but not before using a coin app to check if they're valuable. He has even thrown away 50 pennies, photographing each one beforehand. Although the most expensive penny he found was worth 29 cents, he still hopes to find one that could be worth up to $7,000. Bert compares this search for valuable pennies to locating other rare and subjective items like the Mona Lisa or a Honus Wagner trading card.

Additionally, Kreischer discusses the phenomenon of connecting with others' experiences by correlating them with his past, something Segura suggests may be linked to an aversion to simply listening. Bert’s behavior shows a desire for recognition and ...

Tom Shares Stories of His Sons' Antics

Tom's Sons Damaged Property, Leading To a Contractor Confrontation

Tom Segura describes in vivid detail how his sons went on a destructive rampage at their house, which was under construction at the time. The contractor relayed to Tom that his "superhuman children" had demolished a porta potty, wreaked havoc in the wood storage, shattered a vital stone, and seemed to have experimented with fire, leaving behind three bloody knives and a missing toilet seat. Despite the extent of destruction, Tom notes the contractor shared the news in a humorous manner.

When confronted, Tom's eldest son, Ellis, initially pointed the finger at his younger brother Julian, but soon admitted that they were both the masterminds of the mayhem, with Julian taking a more active role. Tom confronts Ellis about the damage, which amounts to thousands of dollars. Ellis offers to compensate his dad, but Tom humorously dismisses his offer, indicating that repayment by Ellis would be implausible.
