That Time Bert Kreisher Hijacked The Preston & Steve Show For An Entire Morning

Bert Kreisher hijacked the entire Preston & Steve Show broadcast today… and it was spectacular.

Our ol’ friend, Berty Boy, hung out for the entire morning. There was so much covered in those four hours that it’s impossible to summarize it all. So we broke it down into acts with highlights and key moments. This video is one small sliver of the craziness that went down. You can watch the entire broadcast in the link below. 

Prologue: Bert is in town for his show at The Wells Fargo Center tonight. His first time headlining the big joint. He came by the WMMR studios at 7 o’clock in the morning. That’s an early call time after being at the Flyers game the night before and hanging out till the wee hours of the morning.  

ACT I: Real Life 

We’ve talked to Bert Kreischer a bunch of times over the past few years. But we haven’t seen him face to face since the Cardboard Classic in March 2020. There was a lot to catch up on. 

First off, Bert looks great. Preston pointed out that Bert was lookin good, and he got into talking to us about how he’s been getting his life together and how he’s down from 275 pounds. He gave some sound advice on caving into impulses, and how he overcame   

 ACT II: The Cash Grab 

Last night, Bert was on a raffle ticket filling spree at the Flyers game, playing the odds like a true champion. This morning, after the long-awaited counting of all the 50/50 tickets, we revealed to Bert that he was the winner. Marisa showered him in his winning tickets, and he got to bask in his glory on air.  

ACT III: Showering with Snoop  

Snoop Dog, Bert Kreischer and a shot of vodka walk into the shower. Yeah, you might want to tune in for that story. 

ACT IV: Luke Skywalker in Serbia (03:26:28)  

Apparently, Star Wars isnt a big deal in Croatia.  

ACT V: The Finale?   

No one wanted to say goodbye, but it had to happen.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
