The Man, The Myth, ‘The Machine’: Bert Kreischer’s Movie Opens 5/26

Author The Preston & Steve Show
(L to R) Albert (Mark Hamill) and Bert (Bert Kreischer) in Screen Gems. THE MACHINE.

That’s right folks, grab your beer and popcorn and get ready for some mayhem. This morning, Preston and Steve got to chat with our best friend Bert Kreisher via phone call. The comedian-turned-movie-star is preparing for the upcoming release of his film ‘The Machine’, which comes out on May 26th. 

‘The Machine’ is an action-comedy inspired by Bert’s real-life experience, 23 years after the original story. The original story recounts his experience with Russian mobsters during a drunken college trip. Now, that trip has come back to haunt him, and he has to retrace the steps of his younger self, which is portrayed by Jimmy Tatro. 

During Preston and Steve’s chat with Bert, he elaborated on his interaction with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold reached out to him to talk about fitness, and they even went to the gym together recently, with Schwarzenegger posting the iconic moment to Instagram. Bert talked about becoming friends with Snoop Dogg, as well as working alongside superstar Mark Hamill, who plays Bert’s father in the film. 

Bert, like many people, has dreams and aspirations for what comes next after this film. He wants to be a Hollywood movie star, and yet at the same time wants to drop off the face of the Earth and to move to a remote destination like South Africa. Wherever it may be, we just hope he keeps in touch with us, his very best friends. 

In preparation for the film’s release, Bert is having a red-carpet screening for the film on May 25th, where fans can order tickets to stream it the night before it comes out. The last time we spoke to Bert back in March, he promised to fly The Gang out for the premier of ‘The Machine’…  

Our invites must have gotten lost in the mail- but that’s okay. We’re still your ride-or-die, Bert. 

‘The Machine’ hits theaters on May 26th. Visit The Preston & Steve Show Livestream Page to hear the full interview. 

Bert Kreischer's Most Epic Visits to Preston & Steve Ranked

After the first couple of times Bert Kreischer came to The Preston & Steve Show Studio we made an in-house rule to always have a camera person snapping pictures for the entire length of his unpredictable, outrageous, sometimes scandalous, always shocking visit.

So, we dug through our archives and created an ultimate photo ranking of Bert’s appearances on The Preston & Steve Show:

  • #8  October 8, 2015 

    Bert had come directly off a red eye flight from LA to Philly into the studio. Wearing his neck pillow as a hat, he was chugging that coffee for one main purpose: to have an empty cup and move on to something stronger.

  • #7  May 29, 2014

    The inaugural red eye adventure. This visit was on the tamer side, but it was also historic as it was the first update to Bert’s 3 year, on-going alcohol wall.

  • #6  ‎January ‎13, ‎2012

    Records indicate this was the first time we met The Machine. It was also our Intern Steve Vassalotti’s last day. They took off their clothes and did shots of Captain Morgan.

  • #5  June 20, 2013

    We were prepared with mini liquor bottles for Bert’s visit, he drank them all before 9am. The evidence was displayed proudly on our wall. Little did he know that those bottles would remain untouched until his next visit. Another surprise for Bert that day: Courtney Love.

  • #4 October 6, 2016

    Bert’s most iconic interview on The Preston & Steve Show. The photos from this day have formed a life of their own: Joe Rogan and Tom Segura have turned them into memes, no one can un-see that butt photo and Bert cast himself in an M. Night Shyamalan movie (still pending).

  • #3 March 3, 2020

    Days before the country shut down for COVID-19, we noticed that Bert was only a couple hours away from Jack Frost Mountain and if anyone needed to experience Cardboard Classic, it’s him. After his show the night before, Bert’s crew drove all night, made a sled along the way, and met us at the top of the tubing hill for one epic ride.

  • #2 February 8, 2018

    The man made it to the Eagles Super Bowl Parade! He happened to be in town scouting out locations for his Netflix special and we happened to be broadcasting on The Parkway an eye shot away from the Art Museum. Further proof that this man IS the real Van Wilder.

  • #1 May 5, 2016

    The top moment goes to the day Bert become Kathy’s godfather. We googled things you need for a Quinceañera and godfather was on the list. We called up The Machine and he promptly replied, “f–k yeah,” and the rest is history.

  • BONUS: Jul 29, 2019

    Bert slept for maybe a total of three hours then joined CaseyBoy and Team WMMR for the 65 mile Ben to the Shore Bike Tour.
