00:00he was he was tweeting about this yesterday posting on social media it's amazing that he
00:05will be having he was making a film and it's based on a very well-known story if you know
00:11bert you know the story and what we didn't know is that mark hamill is now involved in this project
00:17amazing please welcome bert kreischer to our program morning you guys doing good man hey i
00:25i have no idea what time it is in serbia what what part of the day you are in now what's what's
00:29the time it is uh 1 15 in the afternoon but i've been sleeping all day okay all right fair enough
00:35when did you get in how long have you been there i you know what i it's all a blur okay i got in
00:42yesterday morning and i by the way i slept on the flight like i've just been sleeping non-stop
00:48was in fact mark hamill on that flight he was oh there's a great video that mark posted of him
00:57talking about this secret project that he's a part of and you can see bert comes around the
01:01corner with his shirt off drinking wine uh it was so well done uh how did how did you get mark involved
01:09in this movie uh bert so it you know it's kind of tricky because of covid you know we kind of had to
01:17narrow it down to like it it was a difficult it was a difficult sell because not everyone that is old
01:24enough to play my dad would want to come to serbia right and we got word that mark hamill was just
01:31interested and everyone dropped everything and was like hold on i get means like that means darth
01:37vader's my grandfather i didn't even think about that we lost it and we took a meeting with him
01:45and he was you know it's amazing you forget like actors really know what they're talking about like
01:50he had read the script he had questions about it he didn't like certain aspects of it and wondered if
01:56we could change it we were all we were all like mark we'll turn this into whatever movie you want
02:00it to be yeah no it's so cool he one thing since the beginning of the exposure to mark hamill and
02:07interviews even for way back when the first star wars movie came out one thing was clear the dude has a
02:13really good sense of humor so he's got to connect to stuff like this we we i we i told him i said i want to
02:19shoot a promo outside the private jet like i do for my tours for this and so we had like a crew
02:25from legendary to go shoot it and i said i gave him i mean i swear to god i've given
02:30so many more notes to people all i said was i'm gonna do like an intro read you just come up
02:36and i'll be like what's up and just say just get on the plane and i'll go hey i thought we could do
02:41that and then just cut me off we did one take and it turned perfectly i sat with the executive
02:46from legendary and i go okay i can't tell if that's because he's such a great actor or did we
02:52just get lucky like yeah well burt you strike me as somebody that not much rattles you but maybe
02:58you'd be not intimidated by mark but um is it are you blown away by the fact that he's in this movie
03:03with you because it's he is a legendary he is luke skywalker we watched star wars the day before
03:09and my daughters are like i cannot believe that's gonna be papa like i cannot he is the reason i got
03:18into movies like it's it's it's not lost on me at all so so a couple things you mentioned is legendary
03:25behind this are they the is it the company so they're they're on a huge role uh and is now is
03:31this a is this a netflix movie or is it is it okay it's gonna i know you can see me i just shook my
03:38head as if we're not doing radio full theatrical release we want to put it in theaters yes dude
03:46that's awesome oh it's so cool and and so the fact that this you know i was thinking about this when
03:52the whole idea of the machine the movie came up you've this was such a part of your your embryonic
03:57um act early on and what you would talk about the story is just incredibly people never get sick of
04:03hearing about it but this will now give you the opportunity once it's done when people ask about
04:07it you can just say watch the movie because how many times have you told the story this isn't the
04:12origin this isn't that story though isn't it it's a little bit past it's a it's a follow-up to it
04:17burt so so we had pitched we had pitched versions of the story to a bunch of different places and we
04:25went into legendary and this guy kale who's our who is a guy who i ran into like nine years ago
04:31and he saw me do stand up once in burbank and he gave me his card and he goes i want to do a movie
04:35with you wow this is like nine years ago and now i'm in his office and he goes all right you got to
04:40do one movie he's like i want to do a movie with you i just what movie do you want to do and i said
04:45well if i got one movie to do it's the machine and he goes how would you tell that and i go i gotta be
04:49honest with you kale i don't know i said my biggest fear is i'm gonna get hired for a corporate one
04:53day and i'll get there and they'll go just tell the machine and it'll be the russian mafia
04:58and he lit up and he goes say no more say no more wow let's do this movie and so go ahead based off
05:04that little pitch we got writers attached then we a director and then all of a sudden everything
05:09kind of built off of that the director is peter intensio is that how it's pronounced
05:13peter uh intent intensio intensio so he's from key and peel and he did the the movie uh
05:19keanu as well right yeah the guy's and then you forget like he really puts the work in like
05:25i'm doing a wardrobe fitting the other day and they're like well he sees a lot of oranges in this
05:30movie and i was like he's thinking about colors and they're like yeah he's a director you moron
05:36he's concerned with visuals
05:41i was like i'm so used to doing like instagram videos i don't think about anything you don't
05:49think about color correction and things like that so so you're in quarantine right now for a couple
05:54days right when does when does filming actually start uh filming we have rehearsals for a couple
06:00weeks okay filming starts i think uh may 4th may 4th may the 4th be with you that's right
06:08you gotta be kidding me excellent yeah what's hilarious is um we put out the video and it's
06:16got a lot of traction and like everyone hit me up everyone hit me up like even like people who
06:19don't get phased by it like rogan was like dude mark hamill's your dad and then and and then and
06:25then i went on the news and my news google feed and i was in my own google feed news and it said
06:32burt chrysler is not going to rehab yeah i got burt i got an email from someone i was like hey
06:38since he's your godfather i thought i'd reach out to you is burt really going to rehab or was that a
06:43joke i was like there's no way there's no way i said it to casey yeah we were doing two bears one
06:51cave and sagura wanted to say you know congrats on the movie and i could we couldn't talk about
06:55it yet right and he goes tell everyone where you're going and i go i can't and he goes just
06:59say it i go i can't and he goes say it i go i'm going to rehab and it made us laugh and we just
07:04kept talking about it and then we forgot to say i'm not going to rehab
07:08angela everyone sent me these really heartfelt messages like this is a new step in your journey
07:15oh my god it's more believable that i would be going to rehab than shooting a movie yeah have
07:23we spoken to you since the whole jennifer aniston thing happened no you have not okay so for our
07:29listeners um explain how that all came you know how that all um happened so sagura and i were doing
07:36two bears one cave and he said he made up a lie and he said he met jennifer aniston and and i i
07:42really fell for it and i and and it was a funny story a funny lie and then he goes he i said we
07:49should make a pact if we ever meet jennifer aniston we've got to bring the other one with us and he's
07:54like okay he's like well let's set up the scenario you pitch it to her how would you want to meet i
07:58said i want to meet at her house and he's like that's a little aggressive to say i want to meet
08:02at your house and i was like well we can't do it at my house we can't do it at your house and he's
08:06like should we bring our wives i'm like no and then i go can she bring someone he goes yeah
08:12probably for safety and then and then he caught himself and he goes that's maybe that's not the
08:16message we want to send out you're going to need protection at the idea that we we were pitching
08:24that he should bring safety to a meeting with us and we laughed probably for 10 minutes literally
08:29just laugh for 10 minutes and then and then one night i'm sitting one night i'm getting ready i get
08:35done working out i'm at the new house i'm getting ready to have a cocktail sagura calls me and he goes

12:51us to broadcast live and bill burr came out and we actually flew him out to this live broadcast
12:57in a helicopter i i don't know if he's going to remember that but it was so funny because that
