Comedian Bert Kreischer is known for being the life of the party — but who knew he could also outlast pro football players in a test of strength and stamina?
In a hilarious and unexpected showdown, Kreischer took on three NFL offensive linemen — including former 49ers guard Jon “Plump Caramel” Feliciano, and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers stars Tristan Wirfs and Cody Mauch — in a beer stein-holding competition… and came out on top!
The Party Legend Beats the Pros
In the friendly face-off, each contestant held a full stein of liquid with their arm extended straight out — a classic test of endurance popular at Oktoberfest events.
Also joining the fun was Kreischer’s podcast co-host and fellow comedian Tom Segura, who unfortunately bowed out first.
But not Bert.
“I used to do this in bars after shows and win money,” the shirtless funnyman warned his competition before the challenge even began.
And it showed — Kreischer held strong for over three minutes, easily outlasting the NFL heavyweights.
NFL Size Couldn’t Beat Stand-Up Stamina
Despite facing down some massive athletes known for their power and strength, Kreischer proved that sometimes beer discipline beats brute force.
Even as his arms trembled and the weight grew heavier, the veteran drinker-turned-comedian held firm with a determined grin — eventually becoming the last man standing.
The Drinking Credentials Are Legit
This victory shouldn’t come as a surprise to longtime fans of Kreischer. He’s not just known for his comedy — he’s also a legendary partier.
Back in 1997, Rolling Stone famously named him the “Top Partyer at the Number One Party School in the Nation” while he was at Florida State University — a story that later inspired the movie Van Wilder.
“Hard work and liquor pay off,” Kreischer joked after the win.
Tom Segura Didn’t Stand a Chance
Tom Segura may be one of the sharpest wits in comedy, but when it comes to stein-holding, he tapped out first. Still, the duo’s friendly rivalry and hilarious banter made the whole contest entertaining for fans and followers alike.
The Moment Goes Viral
Clips of the stein showdown have been circulating online, with fans celebrating Kreischer’s unexpected victory over professional athletes.
“Bert outlasted NFL linemen while shirtless — absolute GOAT behavior.”
“That’s the most Florida State thing I’ve ever seen.”
The Machine Keeps Winning
From stand-up specials to sold-out tours to wild drinking contests with elite athletes, Bert Kreischer continues to prove he’s not just The Machine on stage — he’s a machine off stage, too.
