Bert Kreischer 0:00
Hundred percent. Brand new two bears. One cave after almost eight weeks apart. Tom and I are back.
Tom Segura 0:12
Back.
Bert Kreischer 0:14
It is safe to say a lot has happened in those eight weeks for myself, which we will ignore at this point. Uh, I say I don't read comments, but I've been all in the comments. I can't help it. The internet is Fucking divided. And I would just like to hear it from you. Just set the record straight. Have you seen the Odyssey?
Tom Segura 0:38
I have not. But I I here's the thing. I have attempted to I was in I was in London and then I I was in DC. And I was I had my show days and then I had off days. I tried to buy things You did shows in London? I did spots in London. I did shows in Baltimore and DC. I saw that. Did you meet up with Tony Woods? No, and they were like, He's here. I was like, Great, send him back. Never came back. Um But Uh In DC, I tried buying tickets five days out, which I was like, That's plenty of time. Sold out. And I mean I ch I checked like four or five theaters in the area. Everything was sold out.
Bert Kreischer 1:22
Let me tell you, daytime service.
Tom Segura 1:23
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer 1:24
I've seen this one. I saw it in IMAX. I saw it in a regular movie theater. I have a lot of notes.
Tom Segura 1:32
But you should let you should let Nolan know.
Bert Kreischer 1:35
I have access to Nolan. My buddy produced a movie.
Tom Segura 1:38
He produced The Odyssey?
Bert Kreischer 1:39
The Odyssey, yeah.
Tom Segura 1:40
And when you say I have access, are you thinking of maybe crafting an email and sending it to him?
Bert Kreischer 1:44
No, no, no, no, no, no. I have to say, I genuinely liked the movie. Good. I genuinely like the movie. Uh okay. Now, here we go. Elliot Page. That's the big what everyone wants to know. Not distracting in my opinion. I I thought Elliot Page is, first of all, a great actor. Always has been. Everything Elliot has done in Elliot's career has been fucking phenomenal. Great actor. Such a such a great actor.
Tom Segura 2:15
You were bothered. I remember when the trailer come out came out, you were like, I cannot believe they have a black woman as Helen Detroit. How did you feel when you actually saw it? I was outraged. I remember. I remember.
Bert Kreischer 2:25
No, I gotta can I tell you I think that's the best casting they've ever done. Really? And I'll tell you why. Yeah, I'll tell you why. Helen Troy is such an important character in that in that in that story. That And I don't mean to sound whatever, but if they if they had just cast a regular white Oh white, yeah. You would have ne it would have never stood out. You just would have been like, huh? It would've been like what uh whoever started anything with ha with Adam Sandler, all those women. Okay. It would have been like, Oh, they're telling a Troy. Yeah, she'll be we'll never hear from her again. You know, you needed a name. Now here's here's the thing, you needed a name and be the fact that it was Lupita and Lupita, I think, by the way, for the record
Bert Kreischer 3:06
If I'm going black, that's the direction I'm going.
Tom Segura 3:10
Again, she will be thrilled to hear this. Sh uh by the way, have access to Lupita. You have access to her? Have access to Lupita. Through the same producer or some trainer.
Bert Kreischer 3:19
Yeah.
Tom Segura 3:19
I mean by the way. You could slip a note. Down. Sure. Dark dark. Are we describing her? Oh.
Bert Kreischer 3:27
I love it I love Oh my God, she is absolutely fucking gorgeous. And gorgeous in that movie. And so kind of stands out in that cast that I kind of went, Oh, that's Helen of Troy. I didn't go like, oh, Helen of Troy is black. Now listen, listen, I'm gonna tell you something, okay? Very clearly. And I apologize if this is gonna sound not woke, but I get distracted sometimes when I watch, say, Little House on the Prairie, and they have a black doctor in the 1700s that I'm like, hold on. Takes you out of the scene. Take you out of the scene.
Tom Segura 3:57
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer 3:58
Are we gonna like when I watch the remake of Greece they did on TV and they have just white kids and black kids at school together in the fucking forties and I'm like, Hold on, where's the fire hoses? Where's the German shepherds? Like I go like I get this I do if it fucks with the story. I get caught up. I was listen, I wanna say this, and I was fucking famous for this, and I got shit fucking seven years ago, Tom. I got shit on for this and I'm right.
