Initially, the self-deprecating fat joke between two comedians started to become the annual 5K for thousands of fans, but that's not your average game.

Instead of chasing the record era, world-renowned comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura invite fans to have a beer and have fun, maybe squeeze into the 5k.

“We mistakenly said we should do 5ks a year. So now, we have thousands of people coming out. We are at Raymond James Stadium and we are doing 5k. We like (6,000) people (6,000) people (who), and we come here all day.

Jelly Roll claims he will run his first 5K in May: "I believe in myself"

The seeds of the “2 Bears 5k” idea go back to an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast where the two agree to challenge each other’s weight loss.

This fun, competitive spirit continues to drive lifestyle changes between the two co-hosts.

“Do something really good for yourself and then deny everything and then deny it,”

- Comedian and podcast Tom Segura

Kreischer admits that although the idea started with the relaxed lark, it has since turned into a full-fledged event that has attracted thousands of fans from all over the country.

Comedian Bert Kreischer realizes that former MLB pitchers were high school enemies: "I used to beat you"

“It all started with us killing each other – I don’t think you allowed it.”

"We did this publicly on the world's largest platform on Joe Rogan's podcast (Joe Rogan's experience). So, our approach to it has been easy. You break the ball of friends. That's how we work. That's how we work. That's what I mean, I mean, it's great."

When participants were not running, a variety of activities were offered. Fans can enjoy everything from recovering to spear-holding game.

"It's just a way to get people together and do something really good for themselves and then negate it." So it's fun, and then the party. ”

The jelly roll dropped nearly 200 pounds and aimed at the high target

Although the incident prides itself on low pressure, it inspired many people to make lasting lifestyle changes, including the Emmy-nominated Country Star Jelly Roll.

Jelly Roll vowed to support the event and competed in last year’s 5K, but that promise quickly turned into a key shift in his life.

Jelly Roll's real name is Jason Deford May of that year - A tear-out achievement that drives others to stay healthy. According to an interview with NBC today, the country's star has lost 183 pounds.

"He's such a sincere, awesome person. Many people might say, 'Oh, I'm starting now, I'm going to change and then come back. But he keeps taking care of himself,' Segura was excited.

"He has lost over a hundred pounds now," Segura said. "And you can say it. I mean, he looks healthier. He feels much better. He's great. Yes, he's inspiring and I want to be honest with us all."

According to Kreischer, Jelly Roll's weight loss journey is far from over.

"Jelly behind this game really inspired a lot of people to try to change a little bit," Kresh said. "I mean, we're looking at a 500-pound lady and the guy there lost 120 pounds. It's amazing."

In addition to the Jelly Roll, retired Philadelphia Eagles Center and Super Bowl champion Jason Kelce also participated in Tampa Bay Buccaneers Graham Barton and Elijah Klein.

When they don't plan 5K, Segura and Kreischer have been working hard to sell the arena and make people all over the world laugh.

Segura's latest special, titled "Sledgehammer" and his new dark comedy series Bad Thoughts, debuted on Netflix on May 13.

“We both like to do multiple entertainment media,” Segura concluded. “We did everything and we were totally…we supported each other.”
