Tom Segura shows up on other people's podcasts the way he builds a bit: slow, dark, and somehow always landing somewhere you didn't expect. We pulled every Tom Segura appearance in our library, from a surprisingly emotional sit-down with his cousin Andrew Huberman to five separate trips through Joe Rogan's studio, and ranked them by how much actually gets revealed.
Some of these are pure hangout riffing on cars and hog hunting. Others get into the mechanics of how Segura actually builds a joke, why he lied to his own mother about a Netflix script, and the injury that accidentally turned him into a fitness guy. Below, all six, most revealing first, with the specific moment that makes each one worth your time.
Joe Rogan Experience #2320 - Tom Segura
This is the visit where Segura gets specific about how Bad Thoughts actually got made: Netflix wouldn't greenlight it off scripts alone, so he secretly shot a few episodes first just to prove the concept worked. He also admits he lied to his own mother, telling her he'd cut a story from the show and then quietly keeping it in. Between those two threads sits a long, genuinely useful detour on fake watches good enough to fool experts and a woman who won 11 million dollars suing Equinox after getting fired for being late 47 times. Good pick for anyone who wants the behind-the-scenes of how a comedian actually gets a TV project sold.

The cousin-to-cousin dynamic with Andrew Huberman pulls something out of Segura the Rogan episodes don't: an actual explanation of his creative process. He reveals he never writes bits out in full, just takes the raw kernel onstage and builds it live, and that the second a bit stops being fun for him, he drops it entirely rather than force it. The conversation gets unexpectedly personal near the end, with Segura nearly tearing up describing the childhood insecurity of always being the new kid, and how that need to be liked still drives his comedy. Essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how stand-up actually gets made rather than just watch the finished special.

Segura reveals that trying Vyvanse for the first time gave him a jolt of energy on almost no sleep, enough that he now suspects he has undiagnosed ADHD. He also breaks the news of his new Netflix project here first: a comedic, Black Mirror style dark anthology series shot entirely in Austin. In between, there's a dense stretch on Canada's assisted dying program (13,241 deaths in 2022, and growing fast) and a genuinely wild claim that Instagram's content filters can be dodged just by mislabeling violent footage with car-ad captions. Worth it for anyone who wants Segura and Rogan at their most unfiltered on politics and tech.

This one wanders from Texas's multi-million wild pig problem straight into a genuinely disturbing account of Uday Hussein's parties, where Rogan claims at least 200 people died every year. Segura drops a striking stat here too: he says Canada's assisted dying program now accounts for roughly 5% of all deaths in the country, including a 26-year-old euthanized for seasonal depression. It closes on Rogan's theory that a Turkish rock formation might actually be Noah's Ark. Listen for the density of odd, specific claims rather than anything about Segura's own career.

Segura gets candid about the injury that changed his life: a torn patellar tendon and a broken arm with nerve damage that still bothers him today, and how his physical therapist's prediction he'd bounce back stronger (against his friend's wife betting he'd gain 100 pounds) pushed him into the best shape of his career. He also reveals he's been on a strict carnivore diet for over two months and his chronic joint pain has vanished. The episode closes with him announcing his fifth Netflix special, Sledgehammer, refined over 303 tour shows. Good fit for anyone interested in the fitness-transformation side of Segura's story.

Segura reveals the full arc of his weight loss here: a peak of 265 pounds down to 187, maintained on a strict four-meals-a-day carb-cycling plan. He also admits, almost as a throwaway line, that despite being a working comedian he's never watched The Office, 30 Rock, or It's Always Sunny. The episode's best material is actually Rogan-driven, a long tangent into lidar-discovered lost cities in the Amazon and three-fingered mummies found near Nazca, Peru. Best for listeners who want Segura's health update wrapped in a genuinely strange history and conspiracy detour.
