Just a tad bit chilly today. It's incredibly cold. Single digits as it got up and got started today. The high temperature today, if we're lucky, will be 20 degrees. And we will have a lot of cloud cover throughout the course of the day as well. So just a heads up on that. And...

I'm not used to seeing this type of forecast for the first time I've seen this. Okay, tomorrow, sunshine, high of about 21 degrees. And then Thursday, partly cloudy, high of about 30 degrees. I'm going to stay in that 30-degree range until we get to next weekend. And now, Preston and Steve's News Update with Kathy Romano.

January 21st, Tuesday. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, President Donald Trump returned from a campaign-style rally at a Washington, D.C. arena to the White House to sign more executive orders, including a sweeping one that pardoned those convicted of storming the Capitol on January 6th of 2021.

Earlier, after taking the oath of office, the event at the Capitol, Trump spoke to a roaring crowd at Capital One Arena, where he also signed several executive orders. Some of the takeaways from yesterday was that he set a record with 42 executive orders, memorandums and proclamations. He pardoned approximately 1500 rioters convicted of storming the Capitol on January 6th.

The former Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison in connection with the January 6th riot at the Capitol, is currently being processed for release from his cell in Louisiana following Trump's executive action Monday evening.

President Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization. He says he will enact tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting on February 1st. And the president signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of immigrants born in the United States.

Wind chills will drop below zero for the next several nights. Today is a very cold morning with temperatures in the single digits and wind chills well below zero. After some breaks of early sun, it turns cloudy today. The high is just 19 degrees, making it the coldest day in two years. So I walked to the perfunctory tire pressure alert. Do you guys get that when it drops very cold?

Mine hasn't happened yet. Sometimes, yeah. Mine didn't happen. I didn't get it. I checked mine and one was off by like one pound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it gets hypersensitive. I didn't realize though, at 19 degrees, that's making it the coldest day in two years that we've seen. So this is like, and it's early for us, you know? Man, I was playing golf this time last year. Yeah, yes. And we were leaning into the Cardboard Classic going, oh my God. Yeah. Is there going to be snow there? Yeah. Remember? So yeah, it's been a while since we've had these rainfalls.

really really frigid temperatures yeah meteorologists are warning a storm are watching a storm from the south which could graze the coast with evening snow showers another very cold night in the single digits is expected tonight and the office of homeless services in philadelphia has declared another code blue that went into effect on sunday at three o'clock as many as 19 warming centers are available with extra seating to boost capacity with the code blue in effect the city's outreach to

teams are increasing their presence on the streets to encourage people living outdoors to head to one of the warming centers. Transportation will be provided to them if needed. Anyone who needs a warm indoor place to stay may visit the warming center where food is also available. They may also call the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disabilities Homeless Street Outreach Team to get a ride to one. That number is 215-232-1984.

A Philadelphia police officer was injured after being hit by a vehicle at the sports complex in South Philadelphia on Sunday evening. It happened just before 6 o'clock on the 1000 block of Patterson Avenue in the area between Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park shortly before Eagles fans would have been leaving the link after Sunday's divisional round playoff game. The officer was on location for a traffic post when the crash occurred, police say. Pennsylvania State Police was attempting to pull over the vehicle for traffic violations when authorities say the driver went into reverse and slid

struck the Philadelphia officer's cruiser. A social media video that's now under investigation by police captured the chaos. The injured officer was taken to the hospital where they were expected to be treated and released. The driver of the striking vehicle was taken into custody on charges of driving without a license, DUI, and accident caused by DUI. In sports this morning... ♪♪

Ball tracks are yelping. Ball tracks are yelping. The Ohio State Buckeyes are the national champs of college football. The number eight seeded Buckeyes won their first national championship in 10 years with a 34-23 victory over the seven seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Buckeyes led 31-7 midway through the third quarter, but the Fighting Irish trimmed their deficit

We'll be right back.

putting the Buckeyes up by 11 with 26 points remaining. The Eagles will host the NFC Championship game. The Birds, who beat the LA Rams 28-22 this weekend, will play the Washington Commanders on Sunday at the Link. The Commanders went into Detroit and beat the top-seeded Lions 45-31 on Saturday night kickoff. This Sunday will be at 3 o'clock. For the Commanders, right guard Sam Cosme will miss the rest of the postseason after he tore his right ACL in Saturday's win over the Lions.

Cosme has been an important part of Washington's offensive line for several years and started every game this season. He'll need surgery to repair his knee. In the other game, the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing their seventh consecutive AFC championship game and will host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Kickoff in Kansas City on Sunday will be after the Eagles game at 6.30.

And that's what I have for you this morning. All right, thank you very much, Kathy. Welcome back from a long weekend for us, the Preston and Steve Show.

Sorry, I forgot to switch your music to very, very end there. That's my job. All right, so stupid question. Today we're going to give away a four-pack of three-day tickets for the 27th Annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Festival. And when is that?

This weekend, I believe. It doesn't indicate that on my copy here. Yeah, I'm sorry. This Friday through Sunday. There it is. There's a lot of words. Yeah. I don't want all those words. Come on. All right. So we're going to ask a stupid question. Courtesy of Nate McElwain. Now, I said last week.

that we'd done two weeks straight of movie questions and we were done with that. Nope, here's another one. But this one is going to take a little bit of work. I don't expect anyone to know the answer to this. In which film will you find real-life husband and wife

Kenneth Burrett and Rebecca Burrett. You're going to have to look that one up. In which film will you find real-life husband and wife Kenneth Burrett and Rebecca Burrett? I think it's the only movie they were ever in. 215-263-WMMR. Call if you know the answer. Today is the 21st day of...

Of January, some birthdays to mention. We'll start with actor and director Robbie Benson turning a year old. Oh, he's a Robbie Benson fan. Yes. God, what was his breakout role? One-on-One. One-on-One's great. Yeah, one of those basketball movies. Ode to Billy Joe was the one that I remember most clearly. Very strange, black and white movie. And a weird, it follows the song, right? Yeah.

I think the song was written after the story. Was it? Okay, yeah. Well, you know what, Steve? I'm not really sure now that I think about it. But yeah. They're on the same time. It goes to a place you would not think that it goes to. But I always liked him. And he went on to be a director and a professor at New York University's Titch School of the Arts. He's also the voice of the Beast in the animated Beauty and the Beast. No kidding. Yep.

All right, he turns 69 years old today. It's Gina Davis' birthday today. The Fly, Field News, League of Their Own. She turns 69 as well. I always liked her. Yeah, I like her too. Tall, man. Yes. She's a six-footer at least. And a world-class archer. Yeah, remember she was an Olympian. That's right. If I remember correctly, yeah. So happy 69th to her.

From the Spice Girls, it is Emma Bunton's birthday today. Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. We used to have it in our system. It's not there. And it's not there anymore. What? Oh, that's too bad. Oh, wait, wait. Marissa just got it for me. Oh, okay. And here we go. One and a two. Yo, tell me what I want, what I really, really want. So tell me what you want, what you really, really want. Emma Bunton is Baby Spice. And Baby is 49 today. Baby Spice is 49. I remember taking my knees to see Spice World.

I thought it was a fun movie. I enjoyed it. Yeah. I mean, if you were to take a quick scan of the audience and say, which person here is a child molester? Here's me, whole day with my niece. But that movie, it's kind of Hard Day's Night-ish. It is. It's very much in that spirit, yeah. They encounter aliens in the movie. This is true. So, Emma, like I said, Baby Spice is 49 today. It is also Placido Domingo's birthday today. Yes, one of the three tenors. Oh!

He turns 84 and he, let's see here. Has he been Me Too'd? Eight singers and a dancer came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment dating back 30 years since then. He has left the Met. He's seen a number of scheduled performances canceled, something Andrea Bocelli has called absurd. For his part, Domingo has denied any wrongdoing. But he turns 84 years old today. From the band Incubus, DJ Chris Kilmore.

turns 52. So this right here would be him performing on the turntables. I always thought they did a great job of incorporating a DJ into their music and keeping it cool and really, really unique sounding. So I had a chance to see them live a couple times. Fantastic band. He turns 52 years old today. So happy birthday to DJ Chris Kilmore.

It's also Billy Ocean's birthday today. Dancing on the ceiling, get out of my dreams and into my car. I just, uh, I keep going. It's tough, Caribbean Queen. When one of my children was being born, I don't remember which one, one of the nurses that was there in the operating room found out that I worked in the radio. Wait a minute, I said dance on the ceiling, that was not him. Lionel Richie. That's Lionel Richie. Go ahead. But either way, she found out I worked on the radio and she's like, oh, could you play a song for me tomorrow?

tomorrow? I was like, yeah, what do you want to hear? She's like, Billy Ocean. I was like, you clearly have no idea what we do. But we played a little bit about Billy Ocean for her.

I always liked Caribbean Queen. I thought that was a cool tune. Where does his career stand now? Is he still recording? Is he still... What the hell is he up to? He's 75 years old, so he may still be out playing shows. I mean, there's definitely a market and people will show up. Nick's looking up his... Get Out of the Retirement Home and Into My Dreams. Yeah, a record that came out a few years ago. So yeah, he's still producing music, still touring. All right. How about that?

And then last birthday today, golf legend Jack Nicklaus turns 85. Okay, I'm going to ask again. Yeah. Where do you rank him? The best ever. The best ever. Yeah. And you say, as I recall, you say the best ever because of his consistency? Yeah. Well, he had, so he won 18 career major championships. So the major championships. That's pretty good. Yeah.

Hey, Jack. He's very, uh, so the major championships are, uh, the British open, the U S open, the, uh, the masters and the PGA championship. So he's won 18 of those. And then he came in second place 19 times, which is insane. Usually by like just a stroke or so. Right. Uh,

And he had nine third place finishes over a span of 25 years. So he's just incredible. Just an absolute machine. So happy 85th birthday to Jack. All right. We'll see if anybody knows the answer to this stupid question. In which film will you find real life husband and wife Kenneth Burrett and Rebecca Burrett? 215263. WMMR the number. And we will go to, we got a couple of Robs, but Rob B was first in. Hey, Rob, you're on the air. Good morning, buddy.

Good morning. All right, Rob, what movie were Kenneth Burrett and Rebecca Burrett in? We'll go with Caddyshack. That is correct. And I'll explain. They played Mr. and Mrs. Havocamp, of which the only lines they have are, Oh, golly, I'm hot today. Wee!

Mrs. Haverkamp, Mrs. Haverkamp, Mrs. Haverkamp, pull over here. Love that scene. And Nick, where'd you come up with that question? Oh, you know, I don't even know. I think I was just doing a deep dive on Caddyshack, but I was like, who are the Haverkamps? Because, Preston, that's a line that you and I will toss

back and forth every now and then. And yeah, it turns out, real life married couple. Do you want to know something? Here's a little bit of another fun fact. I think I mentioned it to you, Casey, in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. His mother and father actually, playing the actress, playing mother and father, actually met on that film and actually got married. That's wonderful. Yeah, so the movies are really actually essentially true. And actually, I just found out that Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey were dating at that time. Yeah. All right, so...

We're going to start with more on the fires in Los Angeles. Tyra Banks revealed on Australia's Sunrise Morning Show she and her partner, Lewis Martin, lost their Los Angeles home in the wildfire. She also shared that she hasn't

Uh, she hadn't looked to talk about it publicly until now. She said, I just didn't want to put a lot of attention on me. She said we were at a friend's house here, meaning in Australia, and we were celebrating and having fun. I kept checking my phone. Uh, she said, uh, that she was checking on her friends and family as well. And then it became apparent that her home was lost. She said, we went home, we cried.

And we had our moment. The former Victoria's Secret angel did share that they have spent time in their home in New York and Australia as well. And she said a lot of those mementos are here and in New York. So I didn't lose all that. Thank goodness there were some mementos that we lost. It is tough, she said, though. But she's got three homes around the country.

over the world. A good piece of advice, we all should probably have three or four homes to store our stuff in. Just to make sure. If there's a fire, too. The wings are supposed to kick back up in the 80 mile an hour range today. Yeah. Is all the fire contained? No. There's a new one above Griffith Park where the observatory is. So they're afraid that that might spread down into the Hollywood Hills.

I talked to my cousin over the weekend, the one who lost her home, and it has started to dawn on her that not only did they lose their home and really their community and the businesses and stores and everything, but really like every little bit of daily life. They want to say hi to the neighbors. All of that is just completely removed from what they once knew. Yeah. Do they know what their next steps are? They don't know. They have some insurance money. They will eventually rebuild somewhere, but they're really not sure if they're going to rebuild in the Palisades only because there is no Palisades. There's nothing to move back to. Right.

They're being very Pollyanna-ish. I think about the turnaround and how soon they'll be able to rebuild. Good luck. I mean, they're talking just a couple of years. The place is devastated. It's going to take a long time. Exactly for the reason Nick just mentioned. You're not just replacing homes. You're replacing the towns, the infrastructure, everything. I would imagine the only thing that's safe is the piping underground. Some of that, they're afraid that there might be leaks here and there. Like Steve said, it's just like a bomb went off in the entire area. Crazy.

Kevin Costner honored Whitney Houston on his 70th birthday by resharing a behind-the-scenes photo from their time filming The Bodyguard. Did he bring us up? No, he didn't. That probably would have been inappropriate. By the way, there's a great show in Philly. He shared some kind words. We miss this legendary singer. And if you're in Philadelphia... He shared some kind words for his co-star saying, this photo reminds me of how lucky I am to be getting another birthday. We lost such a light.

When we lost Whitney. Do you think they had a bit of chemistry? Not that they followed through on it, but I think there was a little... Yeah, possibly. I know you fall in love with Kathy every day. It's just natural when you're working with someone. She's warming up to that idea for a second.

Sounds into it. I feel bad. You know, there was a time where I liked her. I just created a false scenario and made Preston feel bad inadvertently. That's like saying your brother. Yeah. He's not saying. I didn't say it. I said you guys would make passionate lovers. Oh, my God. The photo was originally shared by Houston's estate on her Instagram. It doesn't mean I think you're disgusting. It just means I think us together are disgusting. That makes me feel so much better. Thank you. I mean, not that I wouldn't vomit. You're welcome.

You're welcome. So it was originally shared by Houston's estate on her Instagram, and Costner re-shared it on his Instagram story. In the bodyguard, of course, he starred as a former Secret Service agent who was hired to protect her and was dealing with a stalker. So Costner has shared his love for Houston in the past as well and delivered an emotional 17-minute long eulogy at her memorial service.

She passed away back in 2012. Wait, sorry, did you say who the third person was in the photo? No, I know it's the hairdresser. Oh, all right. So Whitney captioned it saying that it's Kevin Whitney Houston and Ellen LaVar, Whitney's hairstylist for The Bodyguard. And then he re-shared it and talked about how wonderful she was. I just saw that movie recently, and I decided what my favorite scene in the movie is, that scene in the kitchen.

I don't know the movie. I saw it ages ago maybe, but it didn't really make that much of an impression on me. I don't think it was all that great. On subsequent viewings, I appreciate it more. There's a scene where the old bodyguard fumbled and didn't do stuff quite right. And he encounters Kevin Costner in the kitchen and they get into a little scuffle. Yeah, it's well done. Rami Malek.

Widely known to keep his personal life quite private, but his recent sit-down with The Guardian gave us a peek into his relationship with Emma Corrin. I didn't even know they were a couple, to be honest. I had no idea. I did see a picture of him, though, with fingers coming to his face. Like in Deadpool and Wolverine?

So he gave us a peek into this. He revealed the English actor put on a surprise Thanksgiving dinner, trimmings and all that left him blown away. Malik, who mostly lives with Corinne in England, made small comments about his partner saying that they are fascinating. Do you think he carves a turkey well?

Rami Malek? I bet he does a tremendous job. It's a question that needs to be asked before you invite someone to Thanksgiving dinner. Journalist Charlotte Edwards remembered speaking with the Deadpool and Wolverine star for the publication, describing them as smart and quirky, with Malek adding, we like quirky. All right, just one question here, and this is completely on another angle here, but I'm keying off something I just said. Yeah. When you're carving the turkey...

We had a turkey breast, and I know you know, so I tried to do the... Remove the whole breast? Yeah. Yes. How do you do that? I'll have to show you. Okay. And I might have been using the wrong knife. I was using a butter knife. No, a good serrated knife, actually. I think I need a better knife. Okay, back to... So you follow the breast bone. I tried. And you cut down that, and then it eventually gets to the wishbone, and then you got to do this funky little maneuver there. All right. I'll walk you through. You'll show me, all right.

So Malik and the Crown actor sent fans into a tizzy in 2023 when rumors spread the actors were seen at a Bruce Springsteen concert with an inside source later confirming the pair were an item. And since being outed, they've been spotted on dates around London and have attended multiple events as a couple. Public canoodling? Yeah, I guess a little bit of public canoodling. I don't really know.

So, I don't care how much of a man you are, little girls can bend you to their will. And you can just ask Dwayne Johnson. Rock posted a video on his Instagram of his two daughters who are nine and six, Jasmine and Tiana, giving him a makeover. And I mean an extreme makeover. They just went crazy with the makeup. Oh, my God. That's great. It's so funny. And he's sitting there just stone-faced while they do this.

I have a picture when my nephew, who is now a teenager, I think he's 16 or 17 years old, and when he was a baby, I let him do my makeup for me, and I still have the picture. Yeah, I'd love to see that. Oh, my God. It's so great. I'll find it. I used to get regular, my hair done regularly, and I loved it, although it was painful because little kids don't realize how hard they're pushing down with the brush, and I just sit there and go...

But I loved it. Ripping your hair out. Loved it. It was cute. Alongside the hilarious video, the actor wrote, hey, I know they won't always be little or prefer hanging out with daddy when they're older, but they'll always be my baby girl, so I'll take this abuse all day long. Bring it on. They put earrings on him. They drew all over his face with makeup and put stickers on his bald head. I mean, they're doing lipstick like it's a blush. Yeah. It's the best. Yeah.

It is the best. I found my picture. I'll send it to you. So most people would appreciate being teamed up with a nice person, but Cheryl Burke...

from Dancing with the Stars was exactly the opposite. She admitted on a podcast that when she was partnered up with a nice celebrity, they gave her the ick. And she explained that because of severe childhood trauma and abuse, she said, I remember feeling so disgusted when I would have a nice dance partner, let's say, who would treat me with respect.

Now, that's how much I hated myself to the point where I was disgusted by people who were nice to me because obviously, which I didn't know back then, but I didn't think I deserved that type of treatment, she said. It's like I don't want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member. She said it was so foreign to me, it was like it gave me the ick. Man. People were sweet and friendly to her. She hated it. I can see that. Yeah. I mean, you get yourself in such a bad position that you're like...

You begin to hate people who try to be nice to you because what kind of fool are you to be nice to me? I'm not worth anything. Yeah, I remember the very first Sopranos episode where he's talking to his therapist. He's like, if I see somebody who's walking around having a good day, happy, walking through the grocery store, I just want to punch them in the face. I just hate them. What are you happy about? Yeah, exactly. So it's, you know, I guess that type of thing.

She should have gotten with James Gandolfini. Speaking of being happy, Danny DeVito is overjoyed to be a grandfather and teach his kids lessons about parenthood. In a recent video that was shared by AARP, he, who is 80 by the way, opened up about his experience being a grandfather to his grandkids. His oldest daughter, Lucy, welcomed a son named Carmine with her fiance in July of last year. Uh,

Rhea Perlman, DeVito's former partner, who he's never officially divorced, by the way, revealed in June of the year prior that their second daughter, Grace, had welcomed a daughter named Sinclair Lucille DeVito. That's an interesting name, Sinclair. It is. It's wild to see him standing next to his 41-year-old daughter. Him 80 doesn't make any sense.

Since he doesn't seem anywhere near 80. But in the video, this AARP video, Preston, they show a clip of one of his first TV appearances, I guess, as some drug dealer on Starsky and Hutch. It's hilarious. So he said, in two years, my daughters have had a baby each. And since their babies have been born, you got to tamper me down in the joy department. I'm just like, you know, busting, he said.

There's that saying, a watched pot never boils. So I apply that to my kids. I look at them all the time because I don't want them to boil. I want them to take their time and grow. He offers the same words of advice to his daughters. He said, I tell my kids that too. Don't miss a thing. Don't look away. Because when you look back, that kid's going to be hula hooping.

The dad of three who turned 80 in November 2024 said that his growing family is one of his biggest motivators. He said, no matter what happens in your life, the main thing is that you've got family and friends. That's all we have, basically. Reliable people in our lives who we can talk to and we can open up to. I'm very fortunate. Blessing showered down on me, and I wish it for everybody. So he's very...

just thrilled being a grandfather. So good for him, man. The Kardashians just dropped the season six trailer into many fans surprise.

It featured bombshells like Kim Kardashian teasing her new love and Khloe Kardashian's reunion with her old love, Lamar Odom. There's no bombshells. It's pre-reported anyway. I watched the trailer. It's so annoying and form...

Is it eroding? It's my understanding the audience is eroding for this because there's just also so many other reality shows. But, you know, they orchestrate this reconnection with Lamar Odom and she's going to reveal who she's dating, Kim. And, you know, it's just a lifestyle that, you know, is reported on constantly. So we know everything that's going on in the show. So Odom is talking about how this unexpected reunion happened. The former Laker playboy.

The player revealed that a mutual friend of his and the youngest Kardashian deemed it time for them to see each other again. It's time. Odom shared that he was surprised the meeting would play out in front of the cameras, saying, I went there and it was cameras there. It's cool. I understand it. He really gave us an insight. The NBA alum goes on to clarify they are not trying to rekindle their turbulent relationship, stating, I wouldn't say back together, but...

But it would be a blessing to be her friend, he says. How close are they, Nick? You know where they are. Well, are they in Brentwood? Where the hell are they? Which Kardashian? There's a Kardashian compound. Calabasas. Calabasas is north of the valley. So you have to go like up through San Fernando, Steve. And then like on the other side of that, that's where Calabasas is. So they're nowhere near the... No, it's like two hours from LAX. It's pretty far north.

So some of the most iconic music moments of the last 50 years happen on the hallowed stage at Is 30 Rock where Saturday Night Live is filmed. As SNL is celebrating its 50 years on NBC, the network is airing the documentary Ladies and Gentlemen, 50 Years of SNL Music.

And that's coming out on January 27th. That could be good. And the doc was directed by Graham. Just for Ashley Simpson. And Academy Award winning filmmaker Questlove and Emmy Award winner Oz Rodriguez. The three hour special will showcase interviews with musical artists, cast, writers and producers who will tell behind the scenes stories about the show's most famous musical moments. This could be really good.

Ladies and gentlemen, 50 Years of SNL Music will air Monday at 8 p.m. on NBC and will stream the next day on Peacock. One of the most famous musical moments never took place as the story goes, Preston, with Paul McCartney and John Lennon watching SNL. Yeah. In fact, they made a movie out of that. I remember that. Yeah. It was like a VH1 made movie where the two were actually watching on TV. They did a bit. They did a...

where Lorne Michaels came out and said, we'll pay the Beatles $3,000 to come down and play one song. Right, yeah. And oddly enough, John and Paul were together in New York watching it, and they were like, what if we just went over there? Could you imagine what that would have been like? But a legendary story, but it never happened, obviously. Yep, yep. So the Brutalist director, Brady Corbett, came to the defense of his actors after news broke out that the production team

Mm-hmm.

The Golden Globe winning director goes on to explain how the re-speecher program that they used was strictly used to, quote, refine certain vowels and letters for accuracy in their Hungarian dialogues and insisted their aim was to preserve the authenticity of Adrian and Felicity's performances in another language.

not to replace or alter them. And they altered it if they used a program to alter the way they're speaking. I mean, you look at somebody like Meryl Streep, who in Sophie's Choice does that insanely accurate Polish accent. So listen, to the casual viewer, would you notice imperfections in a Hungarian accent? No.

No, definitely not. Knock it off! And I'm wondering if it was in their accent or if they were actually speaking... Like robots. No, no, speaking Hungarian. Yeah, yeah. At some point, they didn't quite get it exactly right and they had to tweak it just a tiny bit. I don't know. So I used one of these, Preston. I used a low-end version. I just wanted to take it out for a spin. I had myself speaking Mandarin Chinese. Not only did it translate exactly what I was saying exactly correctly because I checked it out, it reanimated my mouth.

to comport with what was being said. I don't like that. I know. I don't like any of this. It's starting to get scary. You're getting scared, aren't you? I'm getting scared, yeah. All right, moving on. Brian Cox has spoken out once again about his time on Succession. And a little spoiler here if you have not watched Succession yet, okay? It came out years ago, but if you have not watched it,

He says that he should have been on it even more. Spoiler alert, his character dies in episode three of season four, and the whole show revolves around people battling to take over his media empire.

Speaking on the end of the series, he shared, my only caveat to that, though, I think I was happy being killed off. And I thought it was one episode too early because then you had more of those boring kids, he said. So you watched it. Yeah. Do you think he's right? No. Okay. I think it was fine. Yeah. But it did come out of nowhere. Well, what they did, Steve, since you didn't see it, is his death is unthinkable.

unceremoniously like you don't see it happen right like all of a sudden they say he died yeah uh he was there's no build-up to it and there's no dramatic no the name of the show is succession so you got to figure at some point or another somebody's going to succeed him as the heir to this uh media empire but the way in which they did it it was it was um especially when it came in that episode of that season i was like oh all right

I actually kind of appreciated it because it was different than any death you've seen. I was still surprised by it. As a major character in other shows or movies. It just kind of happens. Stop and think about it. How many times in life do you hear about someone's death? Oh, you're right.

Okay, the past away. Exactly. And you're not there. You don't witness. You don't know the specifics. You're not able to talk to anybody who was there who witnessed what happened. And that's the way we learn about a lot of death in life. Very much so. And so maybe that was their way of being accurate. Overall, he thinks the series ended well. However, any praise Succession creator Jesse Armstrong for understanding that

Less is better than more and ending the show at the right time. When I hear of characters that people feel were terminated too early on in a series, Game of Thrones comes up. I think it was Sean Bean, right? Yeah. Yeah, almost definitely. It was like, oh my God, they just...

They just killed the star of the show. They did that to basically all the stars of the show. And, you know, at that time, you're like, no, no, no, no, no. But then, you know, it might take a season for you to go, oh, that was that was great. That was totally necessary at that time. And nobody's safe. Yeah, exactly. I love the nobody's safe. I love that.

So I threw this in Entertainment News. I was only going to throw this in if I had a little extra time. And I did. Allen Media Group. So Byron Allen, former TV host and comedian who is this conglomerate. He's this media empire now. He's Tyler Perry-ish. His group is laying off nearly all of its local television programs.

meteorologists and will produce regionalized weather reports for its local TV stations from Atlanta. He owns the Weather Channel. Yeah. And so they're getting rid of all of the local meteorologists. I thought this was terrible. Hopefully he adds more pop-ups to his website because I just love the pop-ups. Don't you love those? Oh my God, they're the best. So the process began several weeks ago when local TV weather forecasters in some small markets received notice that their positions were

were being eliminated. And these are all smaller markets. So we're talking about like Honolulu, Hawaii, Madison, Wisconsin, Montgomery, Alabama, Tucson, Arizona, but like dozens, dozens of people. That sucks. A few weather forecasters were offered opportunities to relocate to Atlanta where Allen Media operates, Weather Channel, which will produce regionalized weather reports for all its local TV stations. So they're going to do them there at the main and they're going to send them out to the

It's like voice tracking. Yeah. That's kind of what's happening, unfortunately. I don't like that. Nope, don't like it. All right, we're ready for the clips. Here we go.

Alarum tells the story of two spies who go off grid and later come under attack at their remote cabin hideaway. And in this clip, Scott Eastwood explains his character's mission in the film. They need to find a way into this cult. Imagine a military cult. So instead of the Bhagwan or Wawa country, it's ex-military people carrying AKs.

The government wants to shut it down, so they have to come back and find this one guy who had been there before. That's me. I don't think I want to see it. Hilarium is out in select theaters. Did he say Wawa country? That's what I thought. Wildwood country, maybe? I don't know. I didn't know Wawa country. I thought the same thing. So instead of the Bhagwan or Wawa country, it's like... Sounds like Wawa country. I didn't know that they had their own country. Back that up a little bit more.

What could he possibly be? So instead of, you know, like the Bog One or Wawa Country, it's like... Wawa Country. It's Wawa Country. What's the Bog One? The Bog One and Wawa Country. It's the sequel to Rogue One. I guess so. Here's our next... Here's our next... Yeah! Next clip.

2024's Speak No Evil horror film added dark humor elements into the script. And here, actor Scoot McNary. Scoot. Explains how co-star James McAvoy would make the most terrifying scenes come

Every scene that James did, he would always want to push it so far to uncomfortability and absurd that, yes, in the playing with it and trying to find where that right spot is, he would go over the line, yes, and it would be comedic because it was so absurd. LAUGHTER

Speak No Evil is streaming on Peacock now, by the way. It was actually a remake of a movie that had come out a year before. A Dutch movie. I've seen both, and they're both good. It's a horror movie? Yeah. Yes, suspense-ish. I'm so stuck on...

Wawa Country. You guys remember there was that documentary that came out a few years ago. It was a seven part series about that cult in Oregon or Washington. I think it featured this guy, the Bhagwan.

What was that called? Was it called the Wild Wild Country? It might have been called that. It was really wild. That's it. Wild Wild Country. Okay. And that's what Scott Eastwood was talking about. You know what? I never finished that documentary. I watched like the first three episodes. It was like, whoa. It's messed up. Yeah. But Scott Eastwood is referring to not Wild Wild Country, but Wild Wild Country because he also referred to the Bogwan earlier in that clip. And the Bogwan is the guy that ran that cult. Oh, okay.

Now it all comes to you. Three hoagies for everyone. Yes.

So says the guru. And the guru has imparted a message to the faithful. Free hoagies for everyone. I'd be on board. Of course you would. All right, and there you go. That is our entertainment report for today. We have a concert announcement. We're going to be making that close to 10 o'clock this morning. Maybe we'll have some tickets to give away.

Thanks, Kath. I was just looking out the window and for a moment it looks like a ghost town. I mean, I was looking at City Avenue. There's some cars moving now, but for a while there's zero cars, none down Kings Grant here. None of the parking lots have any cars in them. But you're talking about heavy traffic out and about, Kath. I guess maybe some people, if they can...

Stay at home and work remotely. They might want to do that. Might be today. Because it's crazy cold. Yesterday was biting ass cold too. I didn't leave the house all yesterday. I didn't step foot other than just like into my garage yesterday, which was fine.

Fine with me. I was glad, too, because on Sunday and then yesterday, my kids used the swim spa, right? Really? They take these two days? Yeah, and Preston, I know that you're that way when it snows. When it snows, I like to get in a hot tub. If you have access to one, I highly recommend it. It sounds great. It's a fun experience. But I saw this article about things that you should not leave in your car during sub-zero weather. Can I guess number one? Yes. A baby. A baby.

No. Well, yeah. It's not number one. It's not number one, but I was going to hold on to that one. Okay. All right. So freezing temperatures from a harsh Arctic blast are expected to affect nearly 300 million Americans across most of the continental U.S.,

And here are six items that you should not leave in your car when it's freezing cold out. It's funny because we tend to think of in the summer, what do you not leave in the car during the super heat days? But you don't really think about what you do in the winter during bitterly cold days. Can I guess one that you're not supposed to leave in the car when it's really hot? And I'm thinking maybe it's on the cold list as well, but water bottles, like plastic water bottles? Yes, canned beverages and foods.

Okay. In general. So the USDA says that cans can swell if the food inside expands.

when it's frozen or because of bacteria, so you should discard them. Cans that are not swollen but have thawed out are also unsafe and should be discarded. Didn't know that. No. So if you leave a can of anything in the car and it's super cold and it expands, you should throw it out? Yeah, beverages can also expand inside their containers when frozen, leading to cracks or breakage, and especially things like soda.

Um, that can actually, have you ever left one in the freezer? Put it in the freezer, cool it off real quick and then you forget about it. Yeah. And it detonates. Yep. So that can happen. Also aerosol cans, uh, extreme temperatures can cause aerosol cans to become unstable and potentially break or explode. I always think about that for hot weather, not cold weather. So do I. Yeah. I would think it'd be absolutely fine, but I guess I'm wrong. Um, yeah, I one time had a, a full gallon of distilled water, uh,

free solid in the car quickly. I was surprised. But fortunately it didn't burst on you. No, it didn't. And it was in a plastic container. Alright, here's something you shouldn't leave in your car.

Eggs. Eggs? Do you know how you go leaving your eggs in your car all the time? I leave eggs constantly. Because you're driving along. Who doesn't like to suck on a raw egg nowadays? And so I know you want to. Hey, hon, hand me one of those raw eggs to suck on. Eggs should not be frozen in their shells, according to the USDA. I can press and they're frozen. To the USDA.

They shouldn't be frozen ever? Ever. Why? What happens? If an egg accidentally freezes and the shell cracked during freezing, discard the egg, the agency said. What if it did not crack? I wouldn't. I wouldn't mess with it. Because then that's when the soul leaves the chicken. Keep any uncracked eggs frozen until needed. There you go, Casey. And then you can thaw in the refrigerator. It's okay. But if they crack...

Don't leave your eggs in your car. Don't go. That's what I said on John's song. Yeah. Don't go leaving your eggs to freeze inside your car.

Yeah, you know, I don't just think of the song. To be honest, the eggs are usually one of the first things I grab when leaving the car. Yes. Of these things I have stacked in my backseat, produce, eggs, things like that. Eggs go first. All right, you should not leave electronics in your car, like cell phone, tablet, laptop, in a freezing car can impact how they function according to USA Today. Which is why I don't have my computer on me today. Usually I leave my computer in the car.

If I need it, I'll go grab it or whatever. But I knew it was getting really, really cold, so I brought my computer bag in. It also has something else on your list in my computer bag. And I...

Left my computer at home. Oh, well, okay, because you switched it up. Why do you leave your computer just so you don't forget it? Yeah, that's not it. Because to me, if it got stolen, Nick had a, remember, Nick, the computer stolen out of your car? All your stuff is on that. I do it because of the heat or the cold. I know that my computer functions poorly, especially in the cold, so I always bring it in. But I also use this computer when I get home to do it for work. That's what I was going to ask. Do you use it at home? I use my phone mostly. Other than why ever take it home? Just in case I need it.

Okay. Yeah, just in case I need it. Yeah. And don't you rest it on the cartons of eggs so they don't slide forward? I try not to. I try not to. But like usually, I'm usually good about not forgetting things. Like I'll put my car keys in my, you know, if I bring my computer into my house, it's

host here and then it's off to jim hortons and a few eggs i will uh i'll put my my car keys in my computer bag that way i can't leave without it and i just forgot to do it this time uh yeah i leave my computer i i never take this computer home but any like laptop i've ever had or have to travel with or whatever i leave it in the car really yeah it'll be like freezing like a big cardboard classic it's

Absolutely freezing. I've even had like my car keys, just so I don't forget them, I'll put them in my lunch bag and that goes in the refrigerator. Like I don't, that I haven't done on purpose, but it's happened and it's just sat in the refrigerator all night. Actually, it's okay to put your keys in the refrigerator because it serves as like a Faraday box if you have on your fob. Like a battery? Yeah. So if you don't, if you do that and someone comes with one of those signal boosters to rob your car, the refrigerator will stop that from happening. It will. Yeah.

And my key fobs to get into the building, they go in the refrigerator every night. Why? Because I keep them in my lunch bag. And so I don't forget them. They stay in the side pocket. Yeah, but you forget them. Not when they're not in the lunch bag. All right. That's why I keep them in the lunch bag. I put mine in the door of my car. So every time I get in and out of the car, I know exactly where they are. The key fob. Yeah. Am I the only one that brings in like a bag, like a case? I do.

Okay, but besides you. Well, I kind of, my lunch bag is kind of that. Like, it has my lunch in it, right? It has my cell phone. It has the key fob in the one side. So, yes, but it's not a briefcase. It's a lunch bag. I'm just on a security basis leaving your computer in the car. You know, the car gets clipped. I mean, you know. Well, do you park on the street?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Well, I do it and I'm good so far. Okay, all right. It's been 25 years and 27 years my computer bag hasn't been stolen out of my car yet. That's what they said just before the London Blitz. We've been good so far.

So anyhow, but yes, obviously in cold weather, it can be funky. I know that definitely in warm weather, and you've seen it if your phone sits out and you're in your car driving and it exposes the sun, it'll let you know. It is similar. I don't know if it does that, if it'll alert you of the cold, but it's not good for your phone.

So Steve and I have been talking a bunch over the last couple of months about me getting a new computer because I always go to Steve for computer recommendations. And I love this MacBook Air. I've had it for probably a decade at this point. But Steve, it's reached the point now where if it gets a little cold, it does not function very well and the battery life is pretty poor. So when I take it home, even if it's like slightly chilling in the room, I quite literally...

Sit on my computer for a little bit to let it warm up. That's adorable. You're like a mother duck. I feel like a robin. But then it functions better for like, I don't know, a good half hour. No, I hear you. Yeah, sit on your computer if it's acting wonky. Another thing you do not want to leave in a frozen car is your medications. Yes. I usually have that in my computer bag, and so I left my medications at home as well. Especially your enema. Yeah.

When medications do freeze accidentally, there's no visual indicator that they're still safe to take, according to Massachusetts-based Bay State Health. So certain kinds of medication, like prescription drugs and things of that nature, are rendered useless? Well, some...

may have, be liquid inside the... Oh, I see what you're saying. Yes. Okay. Or inside of a capsule or something along those lines. Like an egg. It says even if they thaw out, it is best to get it replaced than to take the risk that is ineffective or...

I don't know what for regular pills, if it has an effect, I wouldn't think so. In general, any liquid medication is in a suspended state and will likely be negatively affected if it is a frozen. So you want to be careful with that.

And then the last thing, this is a list of six items that you should not leave in your car when it's freezing outside. The last one is your loved ones. Oh, there you go. There we go. I was close. I was close. Yeah, baby is a loved one. Yeah. Well, it could be a baby that pisses you off now and then. So it's worth noting that children and elderly people can be more susceptible to...

me out. Shut up! It's a hypothermia at cold temperatures with symptoms such as shivering, confusion, and exhaustion. What did I tell you to do? You stay in there and you watch the eggs. According to the Centers of the Disease Control and Prevention. I'm sitting on Nick's computer in the dark. So even limited amounts of time in an unheated vehicle could be dangerous and the same goes for pets as well. It's funny because on we got the snow on, what was it, Friday night? Sunday night.

Sunday night. So I was in my garage. I'd gotten done. I went out and I did the snowblower at like 8 o'clock and got that out of the way. And then I was hanging out in the garage for a while, smoking a cigar, just kind of relaxing. And I'm like...

This isn't so bad out here. I think I could make it all night out here if I wanted to. Yeah. Yeah. Right. No. Exactly. I know exactly what you feel. Because I was working and I cleared the snow in anticipation of the freeze. I wanted to get out ahead of the freeze so I wouldn't have to be chipping it away the next day. And I'm out there and I'm like, but you think about it because you're moving. You've just done physical activity. Totally.

Sleeping on the pavement for six hours? Not so much. Not so much. But I was just wondering, I'm like, could I survive all night in here if I had to? No. Survive, yes. I think you could make it. I don't know if you'd be happy. Bundled up properly, right? Yeah. I mean, listen, I was at the game on Sunday. I wore my Tipsy Elves snowsuit that we wore for Carver Classic last year. I was in great shape, really great shape the entire evening. And it was cold. It was bitter out there. And, you know, obviously it got worse as the night went on.

Nick, the really good sleeping bags, the ones that are for extreme low temperatures. Like literally rated for zero and whatever. Yeah, are there some that you could definitely get out and sleep all night in? Yeah. Even in the summertime, I have used those like when camping at high altitudes or whatever. And they're great. You know, like it'll get down to, you know, 15, 20 degrees or whatever if you're hiking up in the mountains or whatever. And they work. Yeah.

That's something that should be kept in the car all the time, right? A sleeping bag? Like one that's rated for... Where are you going to put your eggs? That's true. In the sleeping bag. Keeps them nice and... Yeah, true. I actually fell down and I was telling Nick you about this, this YouTube hole of these guys who go out. It's their thing. They'll go out and they will dig snow cabins or whatever the hell you call them. All this stuff in very austere weather environments. And there's sort of... Some of them are sponsored. Some of those are just independent reviewers.

The state of the art when it comes to, as Nick was saying, those kind of sleeping bags where you could literally go in to really like sub-zero temperature and survive are really, it's amazing. The tents, the ones that are elevated off the ground that have a second level, the heating units and all that stuff, it's amazing. You know, I saw a hack on Instagram yesterday. This woman, this

inside of her gloves, she puts, you know, gloves on. She wears latex gloves and then throws her ski gloves on. And she says the latex gloves actually work better than any hand... Wow, I believe that. They make your hands sweat. Yeah, I believe that. They make you sweat. So what is supposed to be the most efficient...

way of keeping body heat in are thin, tight layers. Right. And if you can do a few of those and that would make sense at a latex club would kind of offer that. Marissa? I learned that from my friend years ago when she would wear snow boots, she would put on plastic bags.

on our feet. And it's like why delivery people put plastic bags if they're like riding a bike. There's like plastic on the inside of their gloves. Interesting. We used to do the plastic bags like the Ziploc bags on our feet when it snowed out and just wear our sneakers outside. I think that was just because we didn't have snow boots and the snow gear back in the 80s weren't as good as the... You guys both used to do that? Oh yeah. Plastic bags over your boot. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, we had boots. Do you remember those old kids? My parents went and bought boots. The old snow boots for kids that had 1,400 clamps on it. It was ridiculous. All I remember about going out and sledding in the snow was the plastic bags on our feet and the freaky freezies.

Freezy Freakies. They were the gloves that changed colors out in the cold. You know what one of my all-time favorite words is? Glosses. Well, that was a thing. I'd like to purchase some glosses. Be sure to wear your glosses today. By the way, do you sell pudding?

You know, the snow boots that I had as a kid, I had boots present. They just weren't waterproof. Like, the hell were, what's even the point? And that's why we had to wear the plastic. Dude, I got frostbite one time out because I had no idea. On my left foot, I'll still occasionally wear it's ugly head if I get too cold. But yeah, because I thought exactly that same thing. Socks were sopping wet. Everything was wet. Yeah, they were snow boots technically.

But useless. Here's a text from somebody. It says, played an outdoor hockey game last night. Used surgical gloves under my gloves. It helps you once you get moving. It's so interesting. What heated stuff or stuff do you have in your car right now? Do you have a blanket? Do you have a... Eggs. Well, I have...

So I have my winter golf apparel, which actually will keep you very warm. And I have a shovel and a brush. And that's pretty much it. But I don't have an omelet maker on survival kit. But maybe I'll throw one of those blankets in there. You never know. Or I mean, because I do have one that's rated for very low temperature. I've just never had the opportunity. They're great. They're awesome.

What was I going to mention? Oh, yeah, that guy had mentioned an outdoor hockey game. I should go skating. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is a good hard freeze right now. You can find a ponds and stuff like that and go ice skating. Where would you go? Probably Green Lane Park, which is not far from here. They have a really big reservoir there.

I'm sorry. Kathy was skating with a friend. Her friend's husband has a pond and they, they like made sure that it was super smooth. I have a few friends that have backdoor rinks. Chuck has one, although I don't know if it's set up. They didn't put it up this year. Yeah. Oh man, he does the year. I know. And this is the right year to do it. My friend Phil has one in his backyard. They're really cool. They take a lot of work, but like, yeah, this would be the week to have it. Most definitely. I saw this as well yesterday, apparently, and we'd,

Oh, yeah. I thought it was last week. Oh, wow. So...

So it has to do with the fact that, you know, it's colder now. The days are short. They are getting longer. It's a wonderful thing. It's post holidays and so on. There's a reason why it is considered Blue Monday. Is it also because of people's New Year's resolutions falling apart at that point? Yeah, something along those lines. I didn't take long. No, I did not take long at all. So I have.

I gave you some tips a moment ago about the cold weather and what not to keep in your car. These are tips. Wait a second. What? Is this the birth of the tipster? The tipster! I don't know.

These are easy ways. Ladies and gentlemen, the tipster. To boost happiness today. All right, we can use it. I would have done it yesterday, but obviously we're here. So these are some quick. Well, if you're still here, listen to this. Fixes that can help you feel a little bit better today and even better. They are backed by science as well.

So here's what you need to do. Number one, get moving, even for just a few minutes. I feel horrible, but I'm going to walk. Exercise releases endorphins and makes you feel good. Yesterday, shoveling snow. I know, Steve, you did it on Sunday, but I did it yesterday, and it was sunny. It was cold as hell, but like...

shoveling snow, clearing off the driveway. That felt really good. It's brisk. You're there. You're being active. It's like when I hike and people say, how can you hike in shorts in the winter? Once you start moving, once you're active, you're fine. So research shows just doing 10 minutes of physical activity can boost happiness and it doesn't have to be a hard workout, stretching and balancing exercises.

are just as effective as aerobic ones like jogging and walking. Yeah, so normally around Christmas time, we shut it down for, you know, between Christmas and New Year's and usually that's when I stop going to the gym for a little bit. I give myself a little bit of a respite. But I also, as a result, I go into like pretty bad depression. Do you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, because I'm just inside, I'm insulated. Right.

I'm not moving. I'm not exercising. But what ended up happening this year is I got sick right after camp out for hunger. So I ended up taking those two weeks off right after camp out from the gym. And so I went back in and I worked out every day during our time off. And it made...

All the difference in the world. Moving to the point also, physical activity, just moving, just getting out, just going for a walk, cleaning the house, taking those eggs out of the car. Please. Yeah. Anything will get you feeling better. When you're sedate sitting there with a cheese doodles, you know, dust on your fingers. Yeah. You know, with your ninth home improvement show in a row, you're going to feel depressed. Now, besides, I know this seems the antithesis, but also taking a nap.

can help you out. But do it in an active way. Yes, please do. Take a nap on a treadmill. If you're cranky, you may not be getting enough sleep, so you need to take that midday snooze. Power naps can boost your mood. Power! Don't sleep too long. As one study finds that people who take short naps are happier than those who took

Long naps or didn't nap at all. Average length of your nap, 30 minutes. Okay, so you're right in the pocket. Dr. Mike has pointed out many times that if you take excessively long or longer naps, it can be, and Mike, if you have a misstating this, please let us know, but I think people who take lots of

It can actually work against your health. You're always tired. And for a while there, I used to basically sleep in shifts, especially early on before kids and stuff like that. And I had a little bit of a nightlife. You like to boogie. While still trying to do this show. Yeah, I would sleep basically in like two, four hour shifts, but I was always tired. And so I think my son started to fall into that. He was coming home from school and taking a long ass nap. And then as a result, can't get the sleep.

sleep until a little bit later on. I was like, dude, it's just a cycle that is so hard to get out of. You know what I mean? So if you can force yourself to break it. Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah, to break it. All right. Other things you can do on this one of the most depressing days of the year is get outside. Look at that. Don't you want to get out there? Help me. Help. Help. If you can get those. I'm depressed. I'm depressed.

10 minutes of exercise in a green space with grass and trees. Yeah, if you have a shovel, you can find some. You'll double the benefits. According to several studies, spending time in nature can reduce stress, and one finds being in a green environment can have a bigger impact on happiness than money. Let me ask you, would an atrium with fake plants work just as well? Probably. Okay. Yeah.

Play some music or watch a show you love. So go watch TV. Yes, the Kardashians. Listening to music that makes you feel good or watching a comfort TV show can help you shift your mood quickly and help you feel happier. Oh my God. I'm feeling happy already.

So, though it's YouTube, Paul, I talked about guys and gals about the cold equipment. It led me to another series of videos about the people who live in the coldest environments on Earth. Yeah. It is fascinating. I mean, brutal, but they accommodate. So, you know, obviously there are things that you wouldn't think about. All of the pipes for everything is above ground. The buildings are built elevated above the permafrost.

But I mean, they walk out. The guy's going out. He's a photojournalist. He's got like 20 batteries. He has to keep swapping cameras because it's so brutal. It's unbelievable. These are in like the Arctic? Yes, in Siberia. It's the places you would know. Do you think they ever, you know...

We'll grab one of those people and say, hey, move. Let's go on a little trip. I'm going to take you somewhere. We're not going to go extreme. Let's start like, you know, the Midwest or something. We're not going to head all the way down south. But I mean, do they go, oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I didn't know. I didn't know. Nobody told me. It's warm. Yeah. It's like the Sam Kenison bit. You see this? This is sand. It's always going to be sand. Why don't you move where the food is? Yeah. Is it called the Outdoor Boys, Steve? Is that the name of the channel? Uh,

Nick, it's a random series of videos that came up. It was a couple of channels, and they were all about this. Specifically, they were focusing on this one town. Okay. Yeah, and it is in Russia, and the average temperature is 30 below. Here, this guy is apparently camping. It says, winter camping in hot tent, negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I can't even...

come close to wrapping my mind around what something like that would feel like. And why are you doing that? That's insane. But there are people who consider that the challenge, to go do that. And it's somehow...

It's romantic in a way that you're like, you know, I'm going to try to do this. And there are guys who try to do it with the new equipment, sleeping actually out and doing a lean-to and setting up a heat situation to see if they can make it. I mean, it has no fascination for me actually trying it, but watching it is pretty amazing. This guy brought his four-year-old son. This is the guy.

I'm sorry, Nick. This is the guy that I've been following. So that's called The Outdoor Boys. That's the name of the channel. Then that is it. I'm sorry. And so in this one that I brought up for Preston where it's 60 degrees below zero and Fahrenheit 51 Celsius below, he brought his four-year-old son to be in the hot tent with him. Jesus. I wouldn't do that. Yeah, but I mean like... Why not? I guess part of the reason why they do it is he's got 12.9 million subscribers on YouTube and people like Steve fall down the hole and they watch it. I found it fascinating.

I was sitting, Nick, I had a nice big mug of hot chocolate with a blanket on the sofa. Yeah, that's right. And the last thing that you can do to make yourself feel better, to boost your happiness, because yesterday was Blue Monday, is practice gratitude.

You've probably heard it before. I'm not good at this. Shut up. I'm not good at this. I'm grateful for nothing. Being intentional about what you're thankful for has real benefits. Agreed. Research shows that people who wrote letters of gratitude were happier and enjoyed more life satisfaction. So it's worth a try. Dear Egg Company, thank you for making sure I always have eggs in my car. Dear Egg Company.

To whom it may concern. So letters of gratitude, this just means writing down. Does this mean sending a letter to someone and saying, I am grateful for you? Or is this...

You should be grateful for me. Just like a journal entry of I am grateful for... I think a gratitude journal can go a long way. I try to do one and when I do, it helps remind you. The physical act of writing something down or typing it in your phone or whatever, it does make a difference. When we talk about being depressed, sometimes when you're depressed, you don't want to hear anything to get you out of a depression. You think, F you,

shut up, I don't want to hear it. But then you actually do any of these things, it does make a little bit of a difference. I've heard this before. I've never really tried it. The most I've tried is I've thought about it for a minute or two. But as I'm thinking about it, I'm like...

I can't think of anything. And then the pressure makes you regret it. Yeah, but sometimes it just needs to be the smallest thing, right? It's that warm cup of coffee in your hand. But it seems like I might. But what if you're doing that every day?

Ah, this is so great. Then you end up like Brendan Fraser in Bedazzled. You need to change it every day? No, if you're grateful for that cup of coffee every day, write that down. Like, that's what a gratitude journal can be. And it really can start. It's like going to the gym. The hardest part about going to the gym is going to the gym, right? I'm sorry to interrupt. No, but once you start, it makes a difference. I might look down and go, man, I am so grateful for coffee that I'm pathetic.

No. This is all I'm grateful for. No, you don't judge yourself for what you're grateful for. No. The opposite. Yeah, don't judge yourself for what you're grateful for. You just list your gratitude list and that's it with zero judgment. Here's coffee you just took a swig of. Yeah. Here's something to be grateful for. A little cold. My younger brother lives in New Hampshire. It's negative 21 degrees where he's at right now.

My daughter goes to school in Michigan. All of her classes have been moved to Zoom because it's negative 20 degrees in Michigan. Okay. So you can be grateful for that. I can be grateful for that? Yeah. That I'm not there? Well, you don't like him. That it's 40 degrees warmer here. Oh, I was going to say, I'm grateful he's far away. Okay.

I don't know, but apparently this is a tip. And I am the tipster. You are the tipster. I've heard it said, and people have said, the presence of mind to do it when you're having an especially good time or something's going right.

Record a little video of you describing it so that you can look at yourself. People have done this. I don't think I'd have the brains to do this, to record it in the moment. But to look at yourself at a better time saying it can be like this. Remember, hold. That's what I look like when I'm happy. You telling you that the potential exists makes a difference. All right. I kind of like that. And teaser because it's video. You don't have to write. I don't want to write. Yeah.

Dear Journal, I hate writing. I'm grateful that I'm not having to write this right now. I don't have to write this. My penmanship sucks. I'm grateful for my phone. It says I have a gun. Because I can film this. Which call do you want me to go to? You know what? There's, I would say lines two and four are pretty good. All right. Let me go to Jen here real quick. We're going to double back to the previous conversation about cold weather. Hi, Jen. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Hey, what's up, Jen?

How are you? Good. I was called, I texted in about the wearing plastic bags underneath your snow boots growing up. Okay. And my mom would save the plastic bread bags because they're long and they're skinny. They fit right over kids' legs. I've heard that many times. There was always a...

Everybody, our whole family had plastic bread bags underneath their boots. I feel like all my friends did, too. I sort of remember this. Yeah, the plastic bag thing. All right. Yeah, I can see it working. I do have a question. Would these go over your socks or under your socks?

Over your socks. Keeping your socks warm and dry. Okay. I don't know, but maybe boots leaked more back then. It was more about waterproofing than keeping warm. I didn't really have snow pants, right? So you would layer up your snow pants and you would get soaking wet because I would have thermals on and then like two pairs of sweatpants or whatever. Now, like, you know, the snow pants are the

or the norm are regular. But I don't, it's not to say that snow pants didn't exist in 1985, but. We had like the zip up, like the one piece. Oh, lucky. Like the tipsy elves like we have now. Yeah. I remember going out like in multiple pairs of jeans. Yeah. You know, like putting on a couple pairs and then coming back and soaking wet. Yeah.

Absolutely. Oh, my God. You'd spend so much time out in the snow with woefully inadequate protection. Oh, yeah. You'd be sopping wet. You'd be peeling it off like a wetsuit. Yep, yep. I will go to John next. Hey, John, you're on the air. Good morning, bud. Good morning, Ed. Hey, good morning to see you, man. What's going on? So just like the last caller, we also use... So anytime you wanted to go out into the snow and play and you wanted to keep your feet dry, we use the...

The Wonder Bread, specifically Wonder Bread. Wonder Bread. Specifically Wonder Bread, okay. Specifically Wonder Bread. All right. To keep our feet dry. No Bunny Bread.

No English muffins. No, we were a Stroman family. There you go. Thank you, John. Quick question. So, Leining's playbook was on last night. Yeah. And so, could you do the garbage bag method of putting that under a coat? Yeah. For that heat locking in thing? Yeah. I mean, because he was using that to cut weight, right? To cut weight, yeah. Yeah, I guess you could do that. Yeah, lock in the heat. Also, lock out the moisture as well. You know, if you don't already have, like, good...

waterproof gear. Yeah. That would be great. Hey, I'm going to go to Joe next. Hey, Joe, good morning. I must be an old soul because I did the bread bag thing last night. Last night? All right, so it's still a thing in your world. I've been doing it since I was little. My mom did it when I was a kid. I'm 47 now. I've been doing it ever since. I've got sledding, shoveling,

I still do it. Joe, at what point do you start saving the bread bags in the year? Well, we got, you know, we were, you know, got the bags full of bags, you know, the old baby bags. We have them. So I just do one of them on my, you know, I put socks first and I put a bag and I put another pair of socks over top of the bag.

And my feet stay nice and warm. All right. Crispy going in, but it's good. That's an interesting reminder of that is a quick fix or at least a hack from the tipster. I like that. Yeah. And it all started by talking about wearing latex gloves under your ski gloves, which is something that I want to try the next time I'm going to be out in the conditions for a little bit of time. Classic. Yeah.

You could definitely do that. Coming up on February 28th, by the way. All right. Interesting. Thank you for your calls. We do certainly appreciate that. But we have to take a break at the moment. Coming back in a moment, some bizarre file stories to share with you. We have a concert announcement that we'll get to with Music News so close to 10 a.m. will reveal. Stay put.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place to listen to MMR online nationwide where you could sign up for an MMR insider newsletter so you never miss the important stuff on All Things Rock. Maybe see Preston and Steve Daily Rush videos. Look for upcoming shows on a comprehensive concert calendar. See when and where we'll be out and about. Pick up some MMR gear and like a whole lot more. Well, it turns out there's a website that does all that.

WMMR.com. And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. Wow. What a time to be alive. Thanks, Kath. Let me say a couple of shout-outs. If you guys don't mind, I'm trying to keep these within the realm of timing properly. Somebody asked for one specifically at 8.45 a.m. I can't do that.

I just, we have stuff. I can't, I can't time these out. Absolutely. You're only human. But, and I was supposed to do this on Friday, but this was from Michael Singleton. And he wrote my cat, my, my wife, Kimberly and I will be leaving from Penn this morning at 8 45 AM to have a pork placed in her.

Her veins have become scarred from all the IVs that she has received over the years. So hang in there, guys. And yeah, that was last week. So I apologize. I didn't get a chance to get that. But we wish you only the best. Here's another one. It says, hey, I'm requesting a short out for one Becky Freetober of Bordentown, New Jersey. Becky is part of the Pineland Preservation Alliance, a power lifter. Says she kicks ass on...

Be joy-free on Insta. Okay. A mom, a Philadelphia sports fan, go birds, married to farmer Jeff, and most importantly, a huge fan of MMO on the President's Eve show. And she is always smiling, and is such a positive person. That is from Bill Mecham, the gym rat yoga guy. There we go. There's a lot going on in that. There is. I'm glad they're listening. And then I want to mention this butt plug, if you don't mind. I got this email from Laura Carbone. She's...

It says, hey, Presbo, Steve and the gang. I'm hoping you can help if it makes it to your time. In summary, I never really had a lot of girlfriends growing up. I kind of always did my own thing and got used to doing things alone. But when I met my boyfriend and now fiance, one of his girlfriends,

girlfriends. Natalie, welcome me with open arms. I've never felt such love and immediate acceptance before. She's one of the kindest, sweetest, energetic, nicest women I've ever met. That being said, her mom was recently diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. I haven't been asking too many questions because I know how hard it is for her and I really want to help as much as possible. The family is hosting a beef and beer event honoring her mom. I've attached a flyer and hope you can spread the word that they are wonderful people. So the event is going to be Saturday, February 8th.

And it is to benefit Anne-Marie Bryan-Gallagher.

And this will be, I had to write down the information from the flyer she sent over. Saturday, February 8th at Local 107 Union Hall, Townsend Road in Philadelphia. Nick, did I send that to you? I'm not sure, but if you did, I will get it and get it posted. Okay. All right. Please do. So I just wanted to give that a mention. So there is a butt plug for you. And we now have time to share some Bizarre File stories. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Files.

All right, we will start with this. A Colorado mom was appalled when she discovered that her sons might have eaten their grandfather's ashes. As detailed in a macabre TikTok video with more than 2.4 million views on it. She wrote, she said, the boys got pawpaw. She exclaimed in the clip while describing their alleged death.

You little idiot. Single mother of three claimed that she left her two toddlers ages three and two alone for a moment in early January so she could use the bathroom while prepping for a birthday party. The Coloradian was only in there for several minutes, but when she turned, she saw the boys were playing in what looked like white dirt.

And during the four minutes she had been gone, the two Hellions had managed to smear the soot all over their faces, bodies, and the floor. And she said, I was like, where did this come from? And then days later, she discovered the empty container. She had vacuumed up the mess, by the way. Yeah. So she discovered the empty container that had housed their grandfather's ashes. And the horrifying truth dawned on her, the dirt was his cremated remains. Oh, God.

She said they got him and they dumped him out all over my carpet. And I didn't realize it was Pawpaw and I vacuumed him up. Oh, Pawpaw. Listen, you gotta admit, it looks like regular dirt. Even speculated that the tiny terrors may have engaged in some post-mortem cannibalism, claiming they may have eaten some of him too because one of them had the cap in his mouth. Jesus Christ F, she said. Okay.

And she said they're just getting into everything these days. And she said she didn't know whether to laugh or cry after the whole thing. That is disgusting. Jesus. Wow. Wow.

A science teacher has been hit with a lifetime ban from the classroom after downing half a bottle of wine during her lunch break before going back to class. Needs to take the edge off. Ryan Williams is her name, and she was the head of chemistry at Isgul Gifan Gimberber Bro Miradin in...

And Carmanthenshire Whales. That's exactly what it looks like when you're reading these words. She's better breaking the... It's fine, eh? We haven't done bass backwards in a while. We gotta do that.

So she was out in the parking lot. A principal rim job. She had gone to get some flowers but ended up buying a bottle of wine, too. She downed half the bottle in her car before going back to school to teach her eighth grade class who needed extra help learning. Her odd behavior was spotted by colleagues who told the assistant head teacher, Ryan Carruthers.

who found Williams overly happy and got a surprise cuddle when she told her to leave the classroom. You're a little monkey. Williams admitted that what she had done and the half-drunk wine bottle was found in the car. Mrs. Carruthers said Williams was a wonderful person and a top-notch teacher with a cracking rapport with the rest of the crew. I wonder how many teachers are driven to drink now and then. Oh, dude. I know for sure we had a teacher that got drunk every now and then back when I was in high school.

So they slapped her with a probation period of no less than two years, effectively banning her from teaching indefinitely. And she said she's going to give up the profession, believe it or not.

All right. How about this story? We talked about this while we were reporting on the insurance CEO shooting that happened a few weeks ago. So listen to this. The teen heroes who nabbed subway arson killer Sebastian Zepeda Khalil have been denied the $10,000 reward promised by the NYPD allegedly because they called the wrong phone number to report it. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Wow.

The trio of E-Lite High School basketball players who spotted the firebug on a Queens-bound F train hours after the alleged burned woman to death were told by the reward administrators that they were ineligible for the cash because it called 911 to report their sighting instead of the Crime Stoppers tip line.

The father of one of the boys, Naveed, said, I think it's such BS that you have to call this exact number. Most people call 911. Yeah, that's a bad precedent to set. He said getting the money is not why they did it, but it would be nice. This was a heinous crime, and this man was caught right away because of them. Before Zepeda Khalil was busted, the NYPD highly publicized it was offering $10,000 to anyone giving information leading to the capture.

Navi's father, who has to remain anonymous, had attempted to secure the sum shortly after his son and two pals, Kingston and Christos, made that fateful 911 call.

A detective with the 60th Precinct was adamant that police had nothing to do with doling out the $10,000 prize and referred the Brooklyn family to its partners at Crime Stoppers, which advertises cash for a tip that leads to an arrest and an indictment. But a representative for the anonymous tip agency dashed the family's hopes by allegedly claiming they were not entitled to the funds because they called 911. So there are times when the police are offering a reward. Yeah.

Is it always a third party that is funding that reward? I don't know. I'm not really sure. You'll often hear the rewards go up and it's because other parties

parties contribute to it but like that initial amount like at the initial time Kathy do the police are they directly offering a reward or is it always a third party I mean like there's times I know I've reported like you know the FOP is offering a $5,000 reward so my guess is that's coming from the fraternal order of police you would think right

So, City Council Member Susan Drang, who this month honored Kingston, who lives in her district, for his bravery, called the MIPD to step up. He said they made good faith effort to call the police, who immediately caught the suspect. That is all that should matter, and we should be encouraged by, we should be encouraging this type of behavior. By the way, the foundation sometimes can offer a partial reward if they're kind of talked into it. Yeah. So, I would think they need to cough something up. Something.

All right, this is messed up. We'll probably end on this one. An Ethiopian restaurant just outside of Atlanta has distanced itself from a flyer commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday by disrespecting the martyred hero and another iconic civil rights figure with a digitally altered image that could result in serious legal issues for the flyer's creator. Atlanta entrepreneur Arthur Watkins Jr. posted the image showing King and Rosa Parks dressed in revealing, sexy, modern outfits wearing

Oh, my God. Wow. Wow. This is going to be great for the sale. Wow.

That protection lasts beyond the grave. This is outlandish. It's really disrespectful, but it's kind of funny. I cannot help it. I'd be less than honest if I said it didn't make me jump. Well, it's so ridiculous. Yes. Mila ATL Restaurant and Lounge said that it did not send or approve the flyer, though it promotes an event the establishment is sponsoring. Its name is featured prominently under the image Mila.

of the civil rights giants, which is crudely captioned, he's scared of the puss. Yeah. I think it's impressive because Rosa Parks' glasses are staying on through this. They made a statement. They said, the team at Mela ATL does not condone or support the use of any flyer that misrepresents or disrespects the legacies of Rosa Parks and

and Dr. Milton McKeon Jr. We believe in honoring these icons with dignity and respect they deserve and stand against any form of inappropriate or harmful imagery. They go on to claim that they were unaware of the flyer until Wednesday morning, but several people commenting on the post said the restaurant has used the flyer before, and as Watkins noted, the person who created the flyer

is selling tickets for the club event that presumably would end up in Mila Etiel's pocket. Even the way you described it, it could not prepare me for the actual image of what we're all looking at right now. Are they standing by their assertion that he is, in fact, scared of the puss? I don't know if they're standing by that statement or not, Steve. Because in this, he does not appear to be frightened at all. No, he's scared. In fact, he's welcoming it.

Of the puss. And there you go. That is what I have in the bizarre file for you. All right. We will take a quick break. We'll come back in a moment. And like I said earlier, oh, it's Tattoo's Day. Yeah. Your chance to win a Preston and Steve show themed tattoo. Text the word tattooed 39333. You might win that courtesy of Floating World Tattoo and Piercing on South Street. We'll be back in just a moment.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Kath. Mentioned that this Sunday, 43 degrees. Not bad for the Eagles game. Not bad at all. It's going to feel balmy. Considering you went on Sunday, Casey, how were things?

Which is fine? Well, I mean, it was fine for the first half. And then, you know, the snow ended up coming down. And, you know, we all saw what we saw. It was pretty wild. It was great. I mean, listen, as long as you were prepared and you had the right gear, like, it was totally fine. From watching it on TV, it was pretty. Yeah. Like, it was cool to see. And, like, the recap videos...

really did look cool. The only thing that sucked is it took too long for the snow to start falling. We were waiting the entire time. When we were tailgating, it started flurrying. I'm like, oh baby, here it comes. And then it stopped. And then it was... Actually, the week before the Packers game, it was...

really, really cold. But again, I had the right gear. Yeah, and they know how to do it as well. They're prepared. You seemed like you were fine. You could see though some people with jeans and sneakers on. You're like, oh, wrong choice. But something happened at the Packers game and this past weekend.

that has never happened to me before, and it happened two weeks in a row at the Packers game. I'm standing there. I was probably getting ready to go into the third quarter. So I think this guy was walking back after halftime, and I'm standing. And actually, at the Packers game, I sat a lot, right? And if I was sitting, I actually would have gotten hurt because this dude who was walking in the row behind me to his seat ended up tripping and falling down.

into my seats, right? So I'm just standing there and I just hear and feel this commotion and I look over and there's this dude just splayed out on my seat and all the seats next to me and everything like that. So to be honest, with these sporting events, the stadium and stadium seating like that, I'm surprised it doesn't happen all the friggin' time. Yeah, especially because that's where the cup holders are. Yeah, I mean, I see people...

I see near misses all the time. Yeah, so this guy's wearing clunky boots or whatever, and maybe he just clipped a couple. I don't really even know. But he ends up, and he's laying in the seats, and I turn around, and I try and help him up. And God, he was like a ton of bricks. I'm like, let's go, buddy. Let's go. But he was fine. He didn't get hurt or anything like that.

Now, this past Sunday, this is before the game starts. It's like right around like national anthem time. I'm just standing there and I feel this commotion behind me and I just hear and feel the loudest noise.

thud, right? And I turn around and a dude fell. It wasn't the same guy. It was a completely different guy. But a guy falls into my seats and he smashed his head on the concrete. So, you know, it takes me just a couple of seconds to like...

diagnose the situation, like, what's going on here? And the dude... So last week, the guy fell into the seats. This guy is on the concrete in front of the seats. And you heard the thud. I heard it, and I felt it. And the guy that I was with, Steve, we talked about this for a long time. Because, I mean, it was a...

It was scary. You know what I mean? It was scary. It's the kind of situation where you want a Catherine Romano there to ask if she has any appearances that night. Well, I was just going to say, you definitely, you had to have sprung into action because that's what you do, not what I'm capable of. Well, damn straight I did. You said you heard a thud. What, what?

what hit his head his head okay so smash his head yeah because and and the way he was laying like his feet were kind of still in the seats next to me right so i guess maybe his feet got caught up maybe i don't even know if he had drinks in his hand i think he had drinks in his hand so he wasn't able to really like brace his fall guys when i turn around and i assess the situation this dude is out cold right his he is he's he's

Passed out. Passed out, concussed. Absolutely knocked out. He's fallen to the side over chairs and his head hit the concrete. Yeah, so you're figuring he fell a few feet. Yeah. Concrete. That's not understanding how the fall happened. He's up in the aisle. At the top, he's moving along, right? Here are the chairs in front of him. I'm standing right here. And he's like this. And he must have just

Clip something. Went over. Over the chairs. And just went, bam! Head hits the ground. Concrete. And I'm still a little shook by it all because I thought for a moment, I'm like, I think this guy's dead. Because he wasn't coming to. You said you let out a half-hearted Eagles chant. Yeah.

I'm not into it now. I'm kind of glancing around. I'm like, is this guy with somebody? There's nobody there. I took first aid. I was a lifeguard, but I haven't had first aid in a long time. What I don't know is, is there a brain injury? Is there a spinal cord injury? I'm like, what's going on here? Where did your head go? What was your first thought? Boom!

I don't even know. Help. My God, I left eggs in the car. No, help. Make sure that this guy's okay. Give him some space, right? And let's get him conscious again, right? Because he's unconscious at this point. Seconds going on minutes at this point. So eventually, he opens his eyes, okay? And he's not there. You know what I mean? Hang on. Let me back up a second. So this is minutes? Yeah.

Where's the staff? Okay. So this is another point of contention. I am very, very disheartened by the way the Eagles medical staff and security team handled the situation. And we can get into that a little bit later on. Okay. Because minutes are going by here at this point. I assume he's surrounded by a group of people who are now tending to him, correct? I'm kind of the only one tending to him. You're the only one tending to a guy whose head has ricocheted off the concrete? Somebody's got to be kidding me.

He's got to alert them. Did anyone alert them? One of the first things I did after, you know, I turn once I realized I'm like, oh, this is a really bad situation right now. This is the guy who just kind of found like, you know, nicked his head or whatever. Like, no, this dude is is knocked out cold. Right. When eventually he opened his eyes and nobody was home at this point. I turn around and I'm like, we need to get security in here right now. So I, you know, wave down the red coat. The guy who's in my section says.

he's not like medical personnel, so he's got to get somebody else, right? So while I'm waiting for the authorities to arrive, I'm trying to tend to this guy. And so I'm like, hey, buddy, hey, hey, hey. And I don't want to shake him too much because, again, I don't know if there's a spinal injury here, right? Like I don't know where his head hit, how it hit or whatever. And so you really need to be tender in these situations because you could end up doing more damage

help. I don't know how much time has gone by, but I'm tending to this guy. I'm asking him what his name is, and then I look up. I'm like, does anybody know this guy? Because if I ask him what his name is, he could be like, it's Bill Weston. I'm like, okay, Bill. It's kind of like, Steve, when you passed out. When you finally came to him, I'm like, hey. Briefly, I was Bill Weston. No, but I'm like, I just need to know what your cognitive capacity is. It's a good person to ask that. Yeah.

Mr. Peanut. How many fingers am I holding? He's fine. He's close enough. But again, I'll never forget. You said Stephen Michael Morrison. That's what you said to me as you were coming to. And so this guy, I'm asking him questions, right? And he's laying on his side, right? And his eyes are so scary.

Oh, gee. Because they're open and he's freaking the hell out. And he's not there. Now, I also don't know if he's not there because he hit his head or because he's totally intoxicated at this point. Right, right, right. Now, eventually, this guy's friend or brother, I feel like they were probably brothers because they looked alike or whatever. Right.

He comes down into my seat and now he's getting in the way. Okay. Like I've already at this point established it like, all right, I'm the point person. And so I'm doing all the things that I've been taught, you know, years ago, but I've been taught in first aid and lifeguarding. First, we have to get him into the shallow end. Yeah. So, you know, I'm asking him all these questions. Um,

And so his leg is all kind of dangled up on the thing. And so I want to get him down in a plank, straight position, right? But I don't want to move him too much because, again, spinal cord, I don't know what's going on. And he's not answering my questions, right? And just this other guy is the only other guy who's jumped in and you're surrounded by people. Right. And so I'm trying to assess the situation. I'm trying to find out if this guy is okay. If he's dying, I don't know.

No. And then this guy jumps in and he's getting in my way and he's like trying to move him. And I'm like, what are you doing? I'm like, what is this guy's name? He's like, I don't want to say his name. Yeah. But and now he's in my way and he's being an a-hole. And I go, and I go, are you a health care professional? Right. Because I actually have a little bit, little bit of. Yeah. I'm like, and he's like, yes, I am. OK, good. You don't believe it.

I don't believe it for a second. I'm a dental hygienist. But at this point, he knows the guy. He tells me that he is some sort of healthcare professional or whatever. So maybe he has some sort of knowledge. I'm some sort of healthcare professional. How to assess the situation, right? So now at this point, I back away. This dude is not coming to, right? And I'm telling you when he was knocked out cold, he was knocked out cold for minutes. Right.

Not seconds. You could have brain damage. Okay. Yeah. So I step away for a second because I'm like, okay, I'm going to let this guy handle the situation. And he starts to move him. And I'm like, no. I'm like, you're out, bro. You can't do that. Because he's trying to pick him up. I'm like, do not do that. Don't move this guy. We don't know the situation. Can he be awake for just a couple of seconds? Where's the medical?

the medical professionals at this point. So he's trying to move this guy and I'm like, don't do that. Do not do that. He's trying to pick him up. I'm like, you are such an a-hole. Stop it. Stop this right now. You said that to this guy? No, I'm just thinking it. Like, I'm trying to... Right now, I'm thinking you're an a-hole. Yeah. I'm also trying to diffuse the situation because it's not about that guy. It's about the dude who's passed out cold. Don't want to make it worse. Who smashed his head. Eventually, the red coat comes over. I try to let him know the situation, right? I'm like,

I'm virtually invisible to this guy, right? And I'm telling you, hey, he's been knocked out for a little while. I'm like, don't move him, blah, blah, blah. And then eventually a guy in a black coat comes over. And again, this guy is not doing his job.

I'm trying to he wasn't there for this. I was there for this. I was the first on site. I'm trying to let this guy know what happened that he's been out like knocked out cold for four minutes at this point. And he's telling me to get out of the way. And I was like, this is the guy that works there. This is the black coat.

So the red coat is the first guy there. Black coat, who I would imagine is more of an EMT type of... I don't really know because they weren't talking to me and I was trying to help this guy out. They're picking this guy up. I'm like, why are you picking this guy up? You can see it in his eyes. I'm like...

He's not home right now. His eyes are open, but this guy is not home. So they're picking him up. They start to move him away. All right. I want to tell you how long this took. Okay. This all started before the game started. Yeah. All right.

I missed Jalen Hurts' touchdown run, which happened three minutes into this. This is three minutes of football time. This is going on for quite a long time. This guy's not okay. You shouldn't be standing him up. You shouldn't be walking him out. I mean, honestly, you really need to, like, I don't know. Eventually, after the touchdown scored, what?

I mean, here's a guy who I thought was... Yay! Are you okay? Yay! The touchdown scored what? Here's a guy who I thought was dead next thing in a row. Why? Why?

Eagles fly. He was up? Yeah. No, he's not up. We're all dancing around. You all were. You all were. Yeah. So eventually after the touchdown is scored and everybody goes fly, Eagles fly. Oh, yeah. Is that guy dead still? Yeah. Is he dead? Fly. They escort this guy out. Right. So it's guy, his friend or brother. And then, you know, red coat, black coat. And they walk out.

And, you know, I'm talking to my buddy Steve. I'm like, that was really scary. Like, that wasn't, you know, like, this is like a serious situation. And then I don't know how much time goes by. But I notice that, you know, people like kind of like moving behind me. And so this is like, I don't know, sometime during, you know, mid first quarter or something like that. This clown is walking back to his seat. I'm like...

This guy needs to be going to a hospital right now. And they let him back into the game, back into a seat. Like, you shouldn't be in trouble. You're not in trouble. Like, you actually are injured. Like, you know, but... Did you say anything to him? No. And he was conversing? He seemed fine. No, he did not. He did not. No, he did not. He looked like he had been knocked out cold for five minutes. And his buddy didn't want to leave the game because, yay, Eagles. I don't know why, but like...

And the medical personnel shouldn't have allowed him back into the game. And his friend or brother, if you really care about this guy. So I said to Steve, and we're laughing about it because I'm like, this guy should be on his way to the hospital right now. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This guy shouldn't. And there he is. He's standing there like, why don't we take a five-minute break? I swear to God. How many fingers am I holding on to? Oh, my God.

So that's the end of my story. It was scary. And I thought that the medical team was- Dropped the ball? Dropped the ball and was totally negligent in this situation. Especially since I was trying to let them know what happened. Sure. Not this clown's friend or brother who's like, 35, and I just had a couple of tomato berries. So let me ask you something. In that point, if you fall down, I'm sure they see it all the time, and you say, I'm fine.

uh you would have the right to refuse yeah they could suggest you seek medical attention and they would even i'm sure offer to call an ambulance or whatever yeah they might be able to they might be able to force you out of there if it's a liability to them too would they have the the jurisdiction to do that with telling you he couldn't say the words i'm fine

for minutes and minutes and minutes. I'm saying at least 10 minutes until he could actually answer a question. At one point, he was laying down. Okay. Oh, I forgot to tell you guys about this one. What is the major export of Brazil? He's laying down. I don't know. See? Staring at me, not, and I'm squeezing his leg, right? Okay.

if he's paralyzed because his legs aren't like, there's no muscle behind his leg. You know what I mean? Like when I moved him, it was like, you know, like moving, you know, sticks or whatever. So I'm squeezing his leg. I'm like, hey, person who I know your name is now. I go, I go, I go, do you feel this right now? You know? Yeah. And he's like, oh God, yeah. It's my regular Sunday night thing, baby. Oh yeah. So no, he felt it. Mm-mm.

He couldn't answer my question. Technically, in this case, you hear somebody's head hit concrete, they're knocked out. What would be the protocol? What would be the protocol in a case like that? I assume you don't move someone you suspect could have had a spinal cord injury, correct? I would think so. Usually, immediately, what I think is they bring out a back

board and put them on that and tape their head down so it doesn't move at all or put a neck brace on them or something like that. Does a medical person bring that out or just Swoop bring that out? Wouldn't that be the best? You know, Swoop is busy. He was down on the field, man. Yeah, so you can't really bother him in that situation. I'm honestly surprised more people don't, A, fall down the stairs at Eagles games and B, quite...

I get scared of the ledge. Yes! Where the seats go right up against it. And I can be perfectly sober leaning against that ledge. And it has the plexiglass or whatever. But looking over it, I get a little bit of vertigo. I don't know how...

I don't know how more people don't fall over that thing. I can parkour through a trail and jumping around. In that situation, I get disoriented. I went to a game at Yankee Stadium years ago. When you got up into right field, those seats were so steep. It was like

It was jarring. And I know the link is probably a little bit better, but in case you're too under level, right? Yeah. Where your seats are... Yeah. They're pretty steep up there. They're really, really steep, yeah. And if you fall forward, like you were describing, from the row behind you or two rows behind you, you can go down fast. You can go down... And like this guy did. You know? And he had...

No opportunity to brace for impact at that point. Can I ask for a description, age, height, stuff like that? Was he a bigger guy? No, no, he was actually thin, about my height, maybe so short, right? In fact, I feel like he might have been a little bit shorter, but he was skinnier than me. And age-wise, I would say definitely 40s.

Okay. Yeah. Cal's on his right index finger indicates that's what his handy rights with. It was funny is that the people that sat next to me where he fell, they weren't there. Right. And so there's this whole commotion and it happened for a long time. And then eventually when they escorted everybody out of here.

And and then sure enough, like those three people ended up coming and sitting down. We're like, dude, you just missed everything. They're like, what? And we told them everything that happened. And and they're like, I was like, literally, like you just left. And then and they're like, oh, we saw that guy. Yeah, he was out there. I was like, yeah, I know. I know. And the fact that they brought him back, I was like, OK, I have Carrie who's on the phone lines and she is at works event staff at the Lincoln can talk about the protocols. Hi, Carrie, you're on the air. Good morning.

Good morning. Hey, what's up? I do work for the Philadelphia Eagles. I am a red coat. And I will tell you, in those situations, the medical staff does check them out. And as long as they determine that, you know, they can stay and that they are not in danger or anything like that, they will make them sign a medical waiver. Okay. And then pretty much you're on your own. So I don't want to say...

You'd think that, you know, they were just... Being cavalier? The old...

how many fingers and then, you know, send them back to his seat. They definitely give them a once over. So they give them the medical check over and then they give them the, do you present the option to get an ambulance or whatever? And then, or in other words, you did, the determination was that he, that this person more than likely you're saying your guess was okay. You can rejoin the game, but you have to sign this waiver that if anything happens, but, but I mean, if you're, if you're, if you just had a massive head hit, uh,

What's your capability of signing a document? I don't disagree with you in the least. But if they refuse, there's nothing more you can do. And if they're not being unruly, if they're not, you know. Yeah. There's really nothing more that we can do. It happens all the time. They don't want to leave. Yeah. I guess you're right. I wish I wasn't dismissed by the staff as much as I was because I would have been able to give context to the situation. Because...

I mean, this guy was out cold for minutes, right? Not seconds, you know? That's terrifying. And the guy didn't want to hear anything from me. I would have been able to give him context and not for nothing. But like this guy signing a medical waiver, dude, in the situation that he was in, he would have signed over his life savings to you guys. You know what I mean? Think about how much they deal with. All the time. You can't force somebody. If they're awake and conscious, you can't force them.

To go to the hospital? No, you can't force them. It's the same thing on the street. If you get hit by a car and an ambulance shows up and you refuse to get in the ambulance, you're refusing treatment. You can leave a hospital, right? I mean, you have the autonomy to do that.

So and, you know, it was a big game. So it was a big game. All right. I forgot to take that into consideration. It was divisional round. That's right. So, so, Kerry, if you were to give an estimate during the course of an average, then the stadium was packed, obviously. Can you expect how many of these sort of tumbles can you expect back?

Well, just the ones that we might see or hear about. Yeah. As opposed to the ones that you don't. Right. I mean, there's dozens. And especially on a day like Sunday. You know, it was wet. It was slushy. Right. You know, people had been out. You know, the lots open at 6 a.m.

Yeah, true. So everyone's drinking tea. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, I hear you. Well, thank you, Carrie. We appreciate it. Casey. I just wanted to let you know that, you know, the staff is trained, red coats, black coats, you know, all of us, and they do take it seriously. So I just didn't want Casey to think that's what happened. All right. Well, that's comforting. Let them go.

Well, then this guy's friend and brother also did him a disservice. He's like, let's go. Game's starting. If this was my friend or brother, I'd be like, dude, we gotta go. We gotta go get you checked out, man. I got a text from a buddy of mine, Jim, who is both a neurosurgeon and a lawyer. He's an underachiever. And he writes this case. He writes, brain surgeon Jim, way to go, Casey. You did everything right. Attorney Jim, did you get everyone's name? Laughter

No. So the medical lawyers that they have working there as well, they were not a red, a black. They were an amazing technicolor dream coach. That's right. That's how you know it's them. Hang on. I have Steve who works security at the link. Hi, Steve. You're on the air, bud. Hey, hey, guys. How y'all doing? Good, man. So you wanted to comment on what Casey was saying? Yeah, like I know working down there, you know,

I've seen situations where people, especially like those beer vendors that walk up and down the aisle serving like alcohol and stuff. Yeah. I know some of them should be...

uh, aware of how much someone's being served. You obviously see when somebody is over intoxicated at that point, they're not supposed to be serving anybody anymore. And then I know if there's a situation where somebody is usually over intoxicated, I've always seen like the orange shirts, the apex guys, they'll group up and they'll escort the individual out. Or if somebody falls, usually apex will show up and then medical show up.

And medical assess the situation. They usually take the individual wherever and, you know, look them over and it's either he's good or he's bad. But Casey's situation, as me being a first responder as well, I'd say Casey did everything right because I would have done the same thing. I would actually probably have argued with the individual who was trying to move that

the guy that was down. Yeah. But, you know, if you see somebody that's down like that, obviously had a head injury, you have no idea if there's any type of spinal damage or anything. So trying to move the individual. And being unconscious for minutes is a very serious situation, correct? Hey, Steve, how long have you done security at the link? I've been doing it for three years now. And what's like the worst situation you've seen?

Worst situation I've seen, I mean, I work games, I work concerts. I mean, I'd say the worst situation I've seen was working a concert, a Luke Combs concert a couple years ago. Oh, that's terrible. Just what was going on on stage was disgusting. Well, I bet a lot of drinking, yeah.

Yeah. On top of it, you got like everybody who's drinking. Then like the first night, like Luke Combs was originally supposed to be in for one day, one night, but being to take it sold out quickly. Crap show. Complete, complete crap show. Um,

And then, like, with the rain and everything, that all came in. Everybody was drunk. Everybody's sliding on these floors that have, like, the guys that put them floors together, they don't, usually some of them won't screw, like, make screws all the way down. Did you see an injury in particular that stood out that used that, okay, this is at the top of the list of things I've seen go on here?

I've seen some bloody... You know, I've seen some cracked skulls and, you know, seen some fights that...

Where did you develop the body mouth? That's all you get. Once you see Luke Combs, you have a harder edge. We got to let you go, brother, but thank you. We appreciate it, man. There's just a lot goes on in that program. I saw a, literally, two guys with blackjacks beating the crap out of each other at an Anne Murray concert. Wow. They both had blackjacks? Both of them. Apparently, that's an Anne Murray thing. Oh, okay. All right. Don't forget to get your commemorative blackjack on the way out.

It's her thing. There was another thing. It's a Phish concert two or three years ago in Atlantic City where I just watched this guy go down face first. Thankfully, he fell into soft sand because the concert was on the beach. Yeah. And it was one of those situations where I was waiting for

I don't know, somebody that he was with to tend to him. And so a few seconds goes by and he's face first in the fan. And I was like, OK, I guess I'll do it. I'll do it. You know, so I go over and I try and turn him over. Right. Because I know this at this point. Put your legs up. You're crowning. I saw him go down. I knew there was no like where at least I assume there's no spinal thing. But again, man, I got him to open his eyes and nobody was home. And I'm like, I'm not.

for this. Listen, for you, you're just very, listen, luckily for the people, you're the one that's there because you care. We've seen you jump into action. Unluckily for you, you're going to see things you really want to see and it keeps effing it up. And I missed the Jalen Hurts touchdown run. Let me ask you. Yeah.

Is the idea now to stay at home and watch these things? You're less likely to have someone fall down your steps. No. Playoff football. I know. I know. Live in the stadium. I know. Are you going Sunday? I'm going Sunday. Do you think there's any chance that this guy's going to be sitting behind you again? That's a good question. I'll keep my eye out for him if he's not in the hospital right now with a brain bleed or something. Yeah.

You know his name. I do know his name. I do know his name. I walk up to you and say, hey, I'm Bill Winston. What? You really are. Hang on, let me, I know we have to take a break in just a second here, but I want to go to Griff. He's a paramedic on the line. Hi, Griff, you're on the air. Good morning, bud. Hey, how you guys doing? Doing great. So did you hear Casey's telling of the story?

Yes, I did. Yeah, I've been a paramedic 20 years now, running 911. Short and sweet. So basically, yeah, if the guy falls, hits his head,

And if they, you know, the EMTs come out, take him back to the medical tent, take his vitals and everything. As long as he's alert and oriented times four person, place, time and event, the next step that EMS should be doing is calling medical command, calling like Jefferson or Temple ER and speaking to the doctor. The doctor will ask questions.

The guy, the same questions. And as long as he's, like I said, alert times four person, place, time and event, he can refuse. Okay. All right. So and if they can't, let's say, answer those questions, then what's the next step? The next step, if they can't answer any of the questions, then.

The medical command doctor can get... EMS can get orders to transport. So the command doctor will say, he can't refuse, you can't refuse. You got to bring him in. Okay. And if he still...

refuses and if it's like life or death situation the police can get involved and they can do an ed an emergency detain him okay and then it's basically no you're going to the hospital okay no guarantee that that will happen but they can't they do have the authority to do that

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yep. It seems to be the case. Yeah. It's weird, though. Again, you'd have somebody out. By the way, Griff is a cool name. If you're out for a couple of minutes, I think it should just be there should be there should be a Jeopardy board back there. You know, you've got to like opera or Shakespeare or anything like that. This this was this one of the three tenors performed in Eagles players of the 21st century. Right. There you go. Something like that. Yeah.

Who's number one on the Eagles right now? She was the mother of Odysseus. What Eagles game are you at right now? All right. Well, Casey, you once again swept into action. And you got in there and did what needed to be done. You may not be the hero we want, but you're the hero we need. Unfortunately, you don't get any backup. You don't get any support from anybody. I mean... Even this...

mook's friend we were laughing i mean we were laughing i'm like i like we'd glance over i'm like that guy should be in the emergency room right now but he's chanting eagles eagles yeah yeah that isn't it funny that's the one thing that guys potato i mean it's certainly at that point when you're in a coma if you can come out of that yeah eat that bagels bagels

Wow. All right. All right. Well, maybe we'll find out who that mystery person is. I want to know if he's okay, to be honest. And so, yeah. It wasn't Bradley Cooper, was it? Definitely not. Because he was there. No, he's in the club box. But I am going to keep my eyes open for him on Sunday. Just, you know, hopefully. I just want to know if he's okay. I mean, just do a quick search. There's only going to be 40,000 people. Yeah.

All right, well, let's take a quick break and come back in a moment. Don't forget later on with Lesson Question, we're giving away Metallica tickets. Yes. And you don't want to miss that opportunity, so pay attention to what we've been talking about. You might grab that, and we're doing that every day this week. We're going to be back in a moment. Stay with us. The Preston and Steve Show. Like the podcast? You'll also love it live. When you can call in. Weekdays from 6 a.m. to about 10.30 a.m. on the radio at 933-WMMR.

Or stream the show live via MMR's mobile app. Thank you, Kathy. Nice day for a swim, right? Absolutely. It's a beautiful day to head out and take a dive. Well, we'll see if it sticks around, this cold weather for February 1st. That's when the Polar Bear Plunge, it's the 2025 Philly Polar Plunge, is taking place at Citizens Bank Park.

Nick McElwain will be on hand yet again. Nick, how many times have you done this? This is my second year at the ballpark, but I did it where Steve has done it a few times. They used to do it up in Chamonix Creek. So two years in a row at the ballpark. It was so much fun last year. I'm hoping it's a little warmer than it is today, but it's a great time. I will not do these. It's just not...

No. And I get it. Yeah. And it's wild. And I see people do it. And I'm like, hey, good for you. But I have to draw the line somewhere. And that's where I do it. But thankfully, a lot of people do get involved. And a lot of money is raised for a great cause. And the Special Olympics are the beneficiary. We would like to welcome the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Nate Kronenberg.

garland nice to see you nate thanks for coming here this morning and along with him is the manager of athlete leadership and young athletes and an athlete himself jordan schubert nice to see you jordan thanks for being here thanks for having us we're excited to be here now what do you think about the cold water and jumping in that stuff

So I was hesitant to plunge myself if I more or less had my arm twisted into it from some colleagues of mine. Nate wasn't one of them, but I know he fully supported it. But it's been fun. I've actually had more fun on promoting my campaign, raising money than I might actually plunging, which is pretty fun. You know, it's cold. It will be cold, but it's well worth it. And there's a lot more control over this situation, Nick.

in the Chamonix Creek, which I did as well a couple times. And this is a more, well, the water's cleaner. We can say that. Yeah. And there's a bit of more control. You're in and out a little bit quicker, so you're not walking out. And then I think, listen, the videos speak volumes because like you, Preston, people are trepidations about doing it. You see them do it. They come out. They look so, they're thrilled. They're shivering, but they're thrilled because they've done a good thing for Special Olympics. Yeah.

And also it's a kind of test yourself type of thing. To test yourself. Exactly. And then once they do it, they're excited about it. But you go rock on. Good for you. So can you tell us, Nate, a little bit about the event and how things are going to play out that particular day on the first? Yeah. Well, like you guys were talking about all morning about the frigid temps and, you know, I'm not sure a wonder bag of your feet going to keep you dry. Right. One of your listeners this morning talking about that.

This is one of our largest fundraisers around the state. We actually have 10 plunges around the entire state of Pennsylvania. But here in Philadelphia, there's already almost 3,000 people signed up to plunge. We've got...

Close to 100 area schools will come out on Friday morning and they'll be plunging all day Friday. Friday afternoon we have our business bash plunge. So when's the pool? So, okay, just technically here. The temperature is going to be warmer. It'll be in the 30s, 40s?

Well, I don't know. We're still a ways away. It's February 1st. It's not this weekend, Steve. It's next weekend. Okay. I was confused. All right. So you could have a wonderful situation. Well, you know, I mean, look, you want that badge, right? If you're going to go do it, you want to go do it, right? So this is, you know. Right. But we'll keep our fingers crossed. Okay. Those pools get set up. We've got close to 3,000 people that are going to come out to plunge. Wow. I do think if you are going to do it.

you may as well have to break ice on the top. You know what I mean? You're going to go, go all in on this. And I think that that would be, you know, it feels like Preston's coming around a little bit. Oh no, no, no, I'm not going to do it. There's no way. If you're going to do it, do it hard. You got to be hardcore. You got to live hardcore to be hardcore. Well, this event is Philly, right? This is, um, you know, probably the greatest sports town, right? Uh,

City of Champions, right? Well, what do City of Champions do? They come out and support our champions like Jordan and the 15,000 athletes in Special Olympics Pennsylvania. And it's down at the ballpark, like Nick just said. It's got that sports environment. There are teams out there that come back every year. They come out. They set up in the parking lot. They tailgate. It's a tradition, right? It's a big party. It is. It's a tradition. Yeah.

And lots of coffee. Well, Wawa is going to be offering up coffee and hot chocolate and stuff like that. And so do you slate a specific time that you're going to do this if you sign up for it? How does that work? So, you know, if you're a school or business, that's a different program. You sign up and you get those times. But if you're Saturday and you're coming down with your family, your friends, the group that you're going out to see the Eagles this weekend, you want to come over here and tailgate, come on out. Register online at phillyplunge.org.

It's actually free to register. You can register today for $0 and then send that email out to friends and family, raise enough money to come down. And then you get there and you get in line. You see, you've managed the crowds. You hear the tunes. You have a good time. You're like, you know what? We've got the courage. We're going to go get in line and go plunge and do your thing. Have you had to increase the size of the pool because it just keeps getting bigger? We've added pools. I think we're definitely last year we were at two pools. I think we might be close to adding a third pool. Wow.

So we just manage the lines and get people in and out and get them dry, et cetera. If you've got 3,000 people coming out, yeah. And it's just kind of nonstop. Once it starts, it keeps going. Jordan, I want to talk to you a little bit about your favorite sports. So we've got floor hockey, bowling, and basketball. Which of those three is your favorite? Basketball is by far my favorite. I also played floor hockey for a handful of years. Loved that. Actually, plunging in memory of my coach,

I was going to be wearing my old jersey, so excited about that. And then I just took up bowling a couple years ago and loved it. Basketball is still my favorite sport. Hope to play for many years to come, but I have a good sport to fall back on whenever the legs go. You have to have a plan, right? Yeah. But it's cool.

The greatest thing about this event is it just helps raise funds for such a wonderful cause. And Nate, we can talk a little bit about the fact that athletes don't have to ever pay anything. That's what the Special Olympics is all about. They do these events and then they don't pay any fees for any equipment ever, right? Yeah, our commitment to both our athletes and the families is that this will always be free. And we've got athletes like Jordan who, like you said, are going down to a local bowling alley or their gym to play basketball. But we've got athletes...

And roughly about three weeks, I think we got four athletes who are going to Italy to participate in World Winter Games. It's amazing. So we have, you know, 26 Olympic type sports here in the Philly market. I think we're offering 11 sports right now. 15,000 athletes around the state, roughly around 1,500 or so in this particular region. And for every athlete like Jordan who's participating, there's still 29 on the sidelines.

So these funds are not only supporting Jordan, but they're getting more athletes off the couch and on the field of play. So that's what this is all about. We've got an ambitious goal to raise about three quarters of a million dollars this year, which is about half the budget for the program in this region here. So it's super important way to start the year off for us. And, you know, one of the things that's so important

amazing about this event. Nick, you probably saw this out there last year. There's so many families out there. Athletes are out there plunging. So it's just a wonderful environment for families, for teams, for companies, your church group, your tailgate group, whatever it is. It's just a magical event.

What about wimps like me who don't want to get in the water? How can I contribute and help? Look, phillyplunge.org, you know, when Nick is going in, he needs someone to donate. So that's one way. Probably the second most important is the person who's holding that towel or robe when you come out of the water. That's critical to your experience. That's something I didn't know.

I didn't plan for that last year, and that was a mistake on my part. So make sure that you have the person holding the towel. Also, the change of clothes is helpful because you want to get out of those wet clothes as quickly as possible. Yeah, there's some strategy there. By the way, because of the pool setup...

And Nick, again, and Kathy, you as well, you know, you would normally have to walk in and walk up to a point and then walk back out through the water again. You're kind of in and out. I jumped in. I completely, I was like, if I'm going to do this, I'm jumping in. And that's how I did it. And then I jumped the hell out as quick as possible. There you go.

Well, if you've got hair like Nick, not all of us are blessed. You've got to get your hair wet, right? You've got to go in and make sure you pull that off. All right. Well, the event is on February 1st. Nick will be there. Jordan will be there. Nate will be there along with thousands of other people. You can be a part of it. And as Nate was saying, phillyplunge.org.

All the information is there. You can get signed up. It'll be a great event all the way around. This is one you'll look back on and go, I'm glad I did that. Except for me because I'm not going to do that. That's all right. You'll be there in spirit. I can make a donation for sure. And you can too. phillyplunge.org. All right. Good luck with everything, guys. Anything else or is that all we need? No, Preston. We appreciate it. Steve, Nick, everybody, Kathy. You got it. Yeah, I appreciate you having us. And go Birds. Go Birds. Absolutely. All right. Let's hear it for Jordan and Nick.

this morning. Thank you guys for coming by. We wish you the best of luck at that event, February 1st. And by the way, you can check the community page at PrestonAndSteve.com. We've always got information on events like that for you to dive in and get the details and see what I did there, dive in.

And you can get the details and be a part of them in person. We do have a concert announcement that's coming up close to 10 o'clock. We'll get that around music news or so. But something totally, completely different. And it's interesting that Nick sent this over to me because it has to do with the slang because I saw a different...

article this morning. It doesn't tie into this exactly. Nick had sent me a list of slang used from the Victorian era. From the Victorian era. But before that, Nick, I'm going to get to this. I saw this first. This was from a website that covers mainly car news. And apparently there are certain slang terms that are used in Australia for different kinds of car accidents.

And I'd never heard of this before. So here in the States, when we talk about a minor car crash, what would you call that? A minor car crash. A fender bender. A fender bender, right? Well, in Australia, it's called a prang. A prang? Yes. Like a pajanger? A prang or a bingle. A bangle? Bingle. Bingle. B-I-N-G-L-E.

Yeah, so fender bender rhymes in a pleasing way, but prang comes from RAF slang, which is Royal Air Force slang, I guess. And bingle is, I don't know what the origin of that is. It's a bingle there. Yeah. He just had a bingle in the pocket. The bingle ate your baby. Yeah. Dingo ate my bingle. Yeah.

Wait, does it say what prang means? No. It says it's from an old RAF slang and it doesn't give any real origin from it, but I never heard of prang. And actually the guy who was the author of this particular article, he said, I once heard, he said Australians are doing the English language better than any of us. He said, I once heard one of them refer to eating gas station food as prang.

Smashing a dirty servo bite. Servo being the station? And he said, from that point on, I was absolutely sold on their perfect dialect. Smashing a dirty servo bite. That's funny. I'm going to reveal a Victorian slang word or term. And you guys try to tell me what you think it might mean. We'll decipher it. Take our best shot at it. So...

What if someone is a giggle mug? A giggle mug? Yeah. A fool? No. A giggle mug. In a chatty cafe? No. Ugly? No, because I'm going giggle mug like somebody who's smiling. I don't know. Casey, always smiling. There we go. Nice. All right. If you were to bitch the pot, what would you be doing? Bitch. Bitch. Bitch.

Bitch the pot. Bitch the pot. Bitch the pot. Bitch the pot. You guys will never get it. Well, bitch is a female dog. Right. So you're preparing dog. You're dogging the...

Pot. Oh, yeah. Okay. Are you eating without your hands? Oh, that's pretty good. But no, it's you're pouring tea. You're pouring tea. You're bitching the pot. Bitch the pot, please. All right. What if you've got the morbs? You've got the morbs. You're depressed. Yeah. Yes. Temporary sadness. Well done. Tight as a boiled owl. Tight as a boiled owl. Yeah. Wait, take this one, Steve. Cheap? No. No.

Anyone else? Tight as a boiled owl. Steve, you'll recognize this as a fairly antiquated term, but it means drunk. And back in the day when you said someone was tight. They were drunk. They were drunk. Yeah. Yeah. Poked up. Poked up. Okay. Poked up. Victorian... For docking? God.

Poked up. To me, it might sound poked up. This one doesn't. Hyper agitated. No, you're embarrassed. Oh, no, there's no. All right. What is a sauce box? A sauce box. Yeah, it's a body part. A sauce box? Yeah.

Your mouth? What's that, Kathy? Your mouth? Yes! That's your sauce box. Nice. It's not your testicles? You're being saucy. Yeah, okay. Your sauce box. That's where you keep your sauce. Okay. Cupid's kettle drums. Cupid's kettle drums. Yeah, it's a body part. Now it's testicles. No. Boobs? Yes, Kathy! Look at you, you Victorian honey.

All right, if you're not up to dick, what's wrong with you? You prefer vagina. I'm not up for the dick. This is Victorian slang, not up to dick. He prefers that. I'm so not up to dick today. Not up to doing something, going somewhere? Nope. Not up to dick. Wait a second. What's a spotted dick? It's a pudding. Yeah, it's a dessert.

You're not hungry? No. You don't feel well. I am just not up to date. I'm really feeling it in my dong. Yeah.

All right, here, this says Victorian slang with Gen Z definitions. Okay, Victorian slang with Gen Z definitions. Yes. Afternoonified. Afternoonified. What the hell? This is a Victorian? Yeah, Victorian slang. We're going to require two translations on this one. Yes, we are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right? So the second, the one that will make sense to us, Preston, is in the second half of this list. Hopefully you got that part.

Oh, okay. Yeah, now I see it. All right, so it's fleek. Fleek, on point. Smart. Wow. And I guess the smart meaning looking nice? Smart dressed, yeah, like dressed. Steve's right, on point, yeah. Okay. Oh, well then here you go. Thank you. All right, what's a chukaboo? It's when you frighten our program director? Yeah. Chukaboo? Chukaboo!

I like it as a term of affection. Come here, my little chukaboo. A chukaboo. A chukaboo. A chukaboo is your BFF. Okay. And that would work out for you, Case. Yeah. A chukaboo. A chukaboo. You're my little chukaboo. You're a monkey. You're a chukaboo. All right, what if you are off your chump? A little...

Yes! Like off your rocker. Yeah. And chump is your rocker. That's Victorian chumps. Right. All right. How about this phrase? Dash my wig. Dash my wig. Yeah. Suck my... No. Dash my wig. So to dash one's hopes...

To ruin someone's desire to have hair again. No, this is more of an exclamation of sorts. Oh, dash my wig. Golly. Well, dash my wig. Well, spit my pudding. Anybody? I think... Okay. I don't know. It means, oh my God. Oh, all right. OMG. You're surprised. So in Victorian, on a Victorian text, you would have D-M-W. Totally. D-M-W. D-M-W.

We need to start using that. DMW! By the way, Kathy, speaking of using slang, and I will segue that into emojis.

I love your three dancers thing. Does that become your thing? Yeah, I've used it for a while. That's sort of my like, I'm hyped. I'm ready to go. I'm happy about something. Okay, so Kathy sends these three little dancer emojis. This girl in a red skirt, like throwing her skirt up in the air. Yeah, kind of looks like a salsa dancer. Yes. Have I ever gotten that? I don't really pay attention to emojis. The first time you sent it to me, I'm like, what the hell does this mean? I use the written language. All right, what about this one? M-

What is a mutton shunter? A mutton shunter? I know mutton and I know shunting. What is muckumpates? It's the pivotal creak. Mutton shunter. I get no dancers. Mutton shunter. One who shunts muttons? So mutton is that's like lamb. And then a shunter of said mutton.

This doesn't make any sense. It means the police. No. Oh, okay. Mutton shunter. Yes. Because they used to call the police mutton. You remember. These are Victorian... You guys, quickly get the mutton. Slang terms if you're tuning in. How about this? Sklimalink. Sklimalink. Is that like skibid? Or would it be skilimalink? Is it like skibiddy Ohio toilet? Skibiddy. Skibiddy.

What did you say, Skibity what? Skibity Ohio Toilet. Say it again. Skilamalink. Skilamalink. Skilamalink. Is that country of origin? Victorian. Okay. Can you use it in a sentence? Yes. I was very skimalalink of the guy that was with the dude that fell over on a KCC. Related to? Worried? Worried.

You're accusing your nante. You're ratting out your nante for using drugs. No, not nante-narking. It's not like a narc. Okay. It means having a good time. Yeah, I'd be curious to see where that comes from. All right, I've only got a few more here. Nante-narking. All right, how about this? To shoot into the brown. Oh, my God. Adel. Come on. Adel. Adel. It's got to be. Come on.

Shoot into the brown. Shoot into the brown. Shoot into the brown. Come on. No, it does not mean that. Shoot into the brown. I'm going to say you're planting your flag. That's pretty good, Casey. It's not anywhere near, but it's an interesting... I heard what you said. It's an interesting interpretation. No, it means to fail. Fail.

Shoot the brown. To shoot into the brown. Is that, I wonder what the brown refers to. Well, I was thinking like a target. Right. You know, the brown would be missing maybe into the ground. Possibly. If you were like shooting an arrow at a target and you shot into the brown, you completely failed. Okay. That would just be my guess as to the origin. What do you call that? Etymology? Etymology of that particular term. The etymomy? The etymomy.

Now, ORF is a radio station in Austria. Yeah. It's all right. It's how you listen to the off-champ. How's everyone doing out there poking the blam? I tried to find this. I couldn't find it. Maybe Marissa could at some point, but there was a guy. I saw him on the ABC National Morning News before the 4 a.m. news. Right.

And he's this Australian guy who goes outside, Steve. No, that's the Australian guy. And he's considered like this just incredibly happy guy. And he talks like that. Just like this. Oh, my God. What can I say? I want to go outside now. Come with me. And I could not find it. I really wanted to locate. Nick found him. What? The happiest person on the Internet. What? What?

Happy Austrian guy is what Elsie's labeled as. That's me. The happiest guy on TikTok in Austria.

Oh, you got to get the audio. Yeah, Marissa, if you don't mind, I'm sorry. She's very happy. She's going to. She's very happy, too. See if we can find some examples of him. She'll be happy, too. Use your fingers to type it on the keyboard. Listening to him. All right, and then this last Victorian, piece of Victorian slang is Irish apricots. Irish apricots. What would those be? Irish, well. Potatoes? Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty easy. Wow. You get one of these, Steve.

Thank you. Thank you very much. I think our favorite is Shoot Into the Brown. Shoot Into the Brown. I mean, I immediately thought, hey, all right, Victorian. They were a little more prim and proper. Mm-hmm. Yep. Why did you hang up your little stuff? Cupid's Kettles drums. Boobs. And Saucebox. Those were all pretty good. I do like your little Saucebox. Mm-hmm. Your little...

Shut your sauce box. And that's all I have. All right, I like it. He's one happy guy. Let's hear him. It's only like five seconds. All right, here we go. Beautiful is this mountain looking right behind me. I told you. Am I right? Double rainbow. Beautiful is this mountain looking right behind me. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Crazy, that's behind me. Who put this mountain behind me? But he goes outside and he takes, you know, videos of these incredible landscapes he hikes out. But it's all like this the whole time. By the way, just before this video, I ate my mother's face.

How beautiful is this mountain looking right behind me? He's a young fella. I thought we were looking like a real sort of Pippi Longstocking. Nah, he's probably in his 20s. He's got to be in his 20s, right? He kind of looks like a male mountain.

He's a really good looking guy. Yeah. Has like the Harry Styles look. Yeah. Peter Mai is his name. Last name spelled M-A-I. And yeah, he's good looking. But that voice, could you deal with that good looking? No, no. Hey, did you have an orgasm? Me too. Your voice is mouth looking right behind me. Oh my God, no. No way. Do you want me to put this on your back?

I'm going to shoot into the ground. I'm going to shoot into the ground with you and down the lower back. By the way, I don't know why I'm taking this. This guy's in front of mountains. I'm inundated with clips of mountain goats. That's in your algorithm right now. It's...

Are you getting him as well? No, no. I'm still otters. You clicked on one mountain goat and that's it. Jesus, man. They're amazing. Anyway. Hang on. Marissa sent over a little bit more. Here's some more of the guy. Guys. Look, I want to show you something. Because sometimes people are telling me I'm not wearing the right gear to go on the mountain. So look what I have today. Look here.

This is protecting my ankles so I can go through the snow. In Austria, we call those gamaschen or stutzen. That's a funny word. It's so bad. Seriously. I hate it. I hate it.

And the more I've only saw the video of him, I didn't see these pictures of him. The dude is like strikingly good looking. Totally ripped. And he's ripped up completely. He called this an eight pack. But it comes with this. Guys, look, I want to show you something because sometimes people are telling me I'm not wearing the right gear to go on the mountain. So look what I have today. Look here.

This is protecting my anchors. My anchors. Coming a little closer, my foreskin looks like Wallace Shawn. Do we think this is a joke or is he serious? I think he's amping it a little bit. Well, I saw him interviewed on, they had an interview segment and he speaks like this. That's what his voice sounds, but he's up and happy and really projecting. How does that take? Was it all right? God damn it. Yeah.

I look like I'm not lit right. Yeah, I'd be like, let's not talk. Oh, shut up. And three, two, one. I was curing you. I'm sorry. You dumbass. I'm here in front of this man. Are you getting this or what? Yeah, it takes. I will kill you and your entire family. So look what I'm doing.

Look here. This is protecting my ankles. Which are attached to my feet. I love this guy. I love it. It's hard to talk like that. He does it naturally. Yep. All right. We should take a break. I have some Bizarre File stories that are on the way. And we have a concert announcement coming up with music news. I want to remind you of that. So stick around. We will be back in a moment.

But it's possible it could resurface. This is in Iowa again, folks. Yes. It's a terrible problem. Representative Ray Bubba Sorensen introduced the bill in response to a July incident at Blue Zoo Aquarium in West Des Moines where an 18-inch bamboo shark bit an employee's hand. See far too many people out there petting sharks.

And something's got to be done. I yield back to the senator. Bubba Sorensen's bill, House File 24, seeks to add sharks to Iowa's list of dangerous and wild animals.

Anyone who allows a member of the public to have contact with a dangerous wild animal or intentionally allows the animal to escape would face an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison. We'll move on to Bill 292, needless aggravation of a unicorn. Sorensen told a House subcommittee Thursday that his bill doesn't shut this place down. It doesn't. It shuts down them having people pet a damn shark. That's what he said, to pet this damn shark. God damn.

Damn it. Blue Zoo. What did you just do? For-profit interactive aquarium open in May. Patrons are allowed to feed and pet stingrays and bamboo sharks in a shallow pool at the aquarium. It also has parakeets, reptile habitats with tortoises, lizards, and frogs. Does this cover the stingrays? Uh,

I don't know. No, I think just to show. Well, it's a good question. It's a problem. Representative John Wills said he has a tough time signing. I like staying right. Signing off on a bill that would restrict just one business in the state. He said we govern the state of Iowa, not West Des Moines. Right on. Let me take a look at it and see if there's something we can do. The bill did not advance Thursday, but Sorenson Bubba said he's interested in moving forward with it after gaining clarification.

A Central Florida woman was arrested over the weekend on drug possession charges for the second time this month. Her name is Taryn Ackrey, and she was booked on several drug-related charges, including trafficking meth. I tell you, I'm addicted to this stuff. Now, deputies arrested Ackrey after pulling over a vehicle in which she was a passenger.

The driver consented to a search of the vehicle, asserting that nothing illegal should be inside. However, deputies discovered that Ackrey had several bags with her, one of which had a label on it that said verbatim.

Definitely not a bag full of drugs. That is what the text said on the outside of this bag. Have we become so cynical that we believe that that might be misleading? Among her belongings, including the ironically labeled bag, deputies discovered methamphetamine, needles, Narcan, digital scales, small baggies, cut straws, and other drug-related items. I believed you. This arrest came nearly two weeks later.

after Ackrey was detained during another traffic stop on similar charges. Definitely not an illegal gun. She is currently being held in jail without bond. I'm definitely not a hooker. Two people from Oregon were arrested for reportedly impersonating firefighters.

Back home to our guard. And I was giving you a little pause there. Impersonating firefighters and using an illegitimate fire truck in the Palisades fire activation zone. Oh, that's horrible. Yeah, please. How illegitimate was the fire truck? It was an older one. So police officers...

Back home to Oregon. I take off.

flame through into this place. See, they're getting it all wrong. An agency deputy says that was not legitimate. Deputies also noted... What a sham. ...that the individuals were both wearing turnout gear and Cal Fire T-shirts. They also had helmets and radios in their possession. Both suspects, Dustin Nell and Jennifer... Jimmy!

And Jennifer Nell were both arrested for impersonating a firefighter and entering an evacuation zone. So they're a firefighting couple. The truck looks legit, at least too legit to quit. I mean, it looks like a standard fire truck. Steven, they're both Nells. They're both Nells.

The truck which was purchased at an auction was also impounded. Dustin Nell has a criminal history in Oregon for criminal mischief and arson. The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for filing consideration on Tuesday. That's Jennifer Nell. Calling it a fire. What was that? And then we'll do one more story and we will wrap it up.

A hunky male model was attacked by an aggressive octopus who clasped onto his body and dragged him underwater. Italian Federico Cola was enjoying the Indian Ocean on a holiday to the Seychelles when he was preyed upon by the tentacled beast. Footage shows the ripped Milan-based influencer walking around the crystal clear waters before he's suddenly pounced upon by the octopus. It wraps its eight limbs around the man's leg before pulling him under.

Cola appears to panic for a few seconds as he falls backwards and splashes his arms in the ocean. The video then shows his legs up in the air as the sea creature continues to tug on his leg. Moments later, the model manages to grab ahold of the octopus, remove it from his body, and hold it up in the air. It's actually pretty damn big. It is large. Cola's arm is seen covered in what looks like marks from the octopus's suckers.

A follow-up clip reveals how instead of being overwhelmed by the interaction, Cola decided to become friends with the octopus. He carried it out of the water and onto the beach before showing it to the camera. I think we've become friends at this point. I'm very happy. The pair played around for a few minutes with Cola splashing it with water. You're a male model. And even letting it climb up onto his back. The octopus even appears to squirt water out while Cola...

Holds it near the surface. I got you. In one short clip, Cola even appears to let the octopus act as a backpack as it slowly crawls up his upper body and stretches its tentacles around his head. Yeah, it's pretty wild. Did you see My Octopus Teacher on Netflix? I did. Yeah, it's great. Yeah.

But that was a little one. That's a big one. This guy's like the size of the guy's torso. He's like the size of a backpack. All right, and that is what I have in the Bizarre File for you. All right, we're going to take one more break. We'll come back in a second with the aforementioned concert announcements. Trash and music news, too. Stay put. We'll be right back.

on 93.3 WMMR. How about I save the concert announcement for last? Yeah, that's it, man. That's how you do it. Build up the drama. A couple of quick things and then we will do that. We'll start with this unfortunate news.

British rock guitarist John Sykes, who played with Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy, passed away at the age of 65. That's too young. A statement on his website said Sykes passed away after a hard-fought battle with cancer. It described him as a thoughtful, kind, and charismatic man whose presence lit up the room and said that in his final days he'd expressed a sincere love for

and gratitude for his fans. He appeared on two Whitesnake albums and co-wrote some of the band's best-known songs, including Still of the Night and Is This Love as well. Is This Love? Was that their biggest hit? I don't know. I mean, it was a ballad, so I would think Here I Go Again is probably their biggest one. But Is This Love is a great song. Still of the Night, I always thought this was an awesome tune. He began his career in 1980...

with the heavy metal band called Tigers of Pantang and recorded two albums before joining Thin Lizzy in 1982. He played on the 1983 release Thunder and Lightning before accompanying frontman Phil Lynott on a European tour with a separate group called the Three Musketeers. No, I think this was before him. We are the Tigers of Pantang! No, really.

In 1984, he joined Whitesnake at the imitation of founder and frontman David Coverdale, recording parts for their Slided In album and later for their self-titled 1987 release, which was a critical and commercial success. Albums of that period, Slided In...

Finish inside of me. That song. Slide it in right to the top. I'm going to slide it in. Ain't never going to stop. Slide it in. Slide it in. What do you think they're saying there? He's loading a Pez dispenser. Is that what it is? I love this song. I have not heard this in ages, man. We used to play this back in the image. Who out there loves Pez? Woo!

So after he left Whitesnake, he released two albums with his own group. It's called Blue... Yeah, you talk too much. I know what you want.

You notice he never waits for a response. All right, so... He was in a band called Blue Murder and later formed a touring version of Thin Lizzy, which has disbanded in the years... had disbanded in the years before Lynette's death in 1986.

The statement on Sykes' website read, it is with great sorrow that we share that John Sykes passed away after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He will be remembered by many as a man with exceptional musical talent. But for those who didn't know him personally, he was a thoughtful, kind, charismatic man. His presence lit up the room. He certainly marched to the beat of his own drum and

always pulled for the underdog in his final days. He spoke of his sincere love and gratitude for his fans who stuck by him through all of these years. Paying tribute, Coverdale shared a number of photos of himself and Sykes together in Whitesnake's heyday, and he wrote, just heard the shocking news of John's passing. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and fans. Sad. One other thing, back in 2018, Weezer covered Toto's Africa.

after being begged by some fans online. Generally speaking, a lot of people dug it. I think it's a cool version of the song. I think because they do it right. They give it a straight up reimagining. And we should have a couple of clips here. I didn't look to see if Marissa... Did Steve send those over to you, Marissa? Here we go. Look where I am now.

I made a mistake. But guitarist Steve Lugather says that the whole thing got a little out of control. Lugather touched on Weezer's frontman Rivers Cuomo supposedly loving the song. He said, I don't know about him loving the song, man. I think he did it and I think it blew up in his face and now he's got to play it every night.

But Lugather also shared that he wasn't trying to call out Cuomo, though he seemingly hinted at some potential friction behind the scenes. He said, I tried to reach out to this guy and be friendly, and then it just got weird. And I don't want to get into it, but peace and love. It was good for them. It was good for us. So I don't know what happened there. If you watch...

any interview with Steve Lucas or any talks about that time, that song was just basically, they needed to fill out the album. Yeah, it was kind of a throwaway. And it came last minute and it was huge. That happens a lot of times. Yeah. It's something they think, we'll just throw an extra on there and it turns out to be a huge hit. All right, now we have a concert announcement.

This particular show will be at the Mann Center. Interesting. Not until Saturday, August 16th. It's on the weekend, which is good for you if you are interested in going. Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 9 a.m. And we are talking about two big musicians. Billy Idol and Joan Jett and the Blackhawks.

Now that is a night of some fun, cool music. And that venue is kind of really cool. And then...

Idol's album, his recent album, was pretty good. I agree. I agree. So we have had both of these artists play the MMRBQ. She's a legend. Absolutely. Both of them did fantastic sets all the way around. Jones, no nonsense, straight to it, plays the hits exactly what you want. And Billy Idol's band is badass. Yeah. Excellent. And Steve Stevens is still a part of that. Yeah.

You will love this show. So tickets go on sale Friday at 9 a.m. Pierre is going to have tickets to win today. And there is a pre-sale password and another chance to win if you go to WMMR.com. So again, the date is Saturday, August 16th at the Mann Center. Billy Idol, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I got a pair of tickets. She can win right now. We'll take caller number 25 at 215-263-WMMR.

And we will set you up with those tickets if you call right now. Call our number 25. So come and get them. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back and wrap up the program. Make sure you stay with us.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place to listen to MMR online nationwide where you could sign up for an MMR insider newsletter so you never miss the important stuff on All Things Rock. Maybe see Preston and Steve Daily Rush videos. Look for upcoming shows on a comprehensive concert calendar. See when and where we'll be out and about. Pick up some MMR gear and like a whole lot more. Well, it turns out there's a website that does all that.

And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. Wow, what a time to be alive. MMR Rocks, Return to Dust. Song's called Belly Up. They played that live at Camp Out for Hunger back in November. And they are going to be playing that again. Yes, this time around.

at the MMRBQ, Saturday, May 10th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. Those tickets are on sale. As we speak, along with Allison Chain, Three Days Grace, and WBH, Dorothy...

A lot of stuff going on at this show. We want you to be a part of all the information available at DoubleGamberMR.com. So go ahead and grab those and get ready. Just really technically you stumble thinking about it just a couple of months away. I know. I've been doing a little math on that too. I know. It's weird. Zipping by.

So I would like to thank a couple of people who stopped by this morning. We had Nate Garland, who is the chief operating officer of the Special Olympics. Yes. And Jordan Schubert, who is an Olympian himself, an athlete and part of this whole event. We're talking about the Polar Plunge, which is going to be on February 1st. And that's going to be a Citizens Bank Park, like 3000 people on board for this. But they have multiple pools, so they keep it moving very quickly.

And Nick is going to be there for this event. And you can do, I think it's phillypolarplunge.org. Yeah, and they really take over the entire area outside of the ballpark. That road in between, I think it's the S lot and the ballpark. That becomes this whole party row. And it's a great time. We did it last year. So if you want to join us, go to the website and join us this year. And free parking. Free parking, yeah. February 1st. That's a Saturday? It is indeed, yeah. Excellent.

All right. Oh, and today is a Tuesday, and that means we've got some fresh ink to give away, and it's Tattoos Day. Our winner is Ashley Alves from Mapleshade, New Jersey. And so, Ashley...

You're going to get doctored up from our friends at Floating World Tattoo and Piercing, 1729 South Street. You'll want a $350 gift certificate to get the design you would like. If you are interested in going to Floating World, you can check them out on Instagram at FloatingWorldTattoos or their website is FloatingWorldTattoos.com. And happy to have them on board to allow people to go and get this representation of the program. Pierre Robert.

Pony came in here to visit you. That's right.

Much to Bill Weston's blood pressure. Yes, it was a wonderful time. Every time it gets bitterly cold, I think about you and your house, which apparently is like the Florida ceiling windows. Yeah, single pane. You stand 10 feet back from them and light a fire in the middle of the carpet and you're okay.

That's about the practical level. And you wear downcoats and sweaters throughout the house and stand by the vent. I actually stand by the vent in the thing. And it's, man, it's so cozy. Do you have space heaters and stuff around the house? I have a couple of them. I actually got my furnace dyed last year. So if I get a good enough...
