Acme, fresh foods, local flavors. 93.3 WMMR, audio on demand, presents the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Hello, everybody. WMMR, Philadelphia. Housekeeping. I think you're sleeping.

Housekeeping, you want towels? More towels. Need sleepy. Housekeeping, you want me for a pillow? Please go away. Let me sleep for the love of... You're listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR with Preston Elliott. You will listen to every damn word I have to say! And Steve Morrison. Words are like bullets. Plus. Casey Boy. They all can't starve it. Kathy Romano. I'm going to destroy...

And we are getting started. Welcome, friend. Thursday morning. And let's begin with the weather.

Freezing rain today. Yep, we have some ice forming on some areas. We'll get the details from Kathy in a little while as far as how that's going to affect your traffic this morning. Today's high temperature about 42. It is going to taper off to rain later on this afternoon. That is kind of the plan. But this morning it's going to be a little bit funky. Tomorrow, partly cloudy, high 43. We drop down to...

On Saturday, some snow expected in the afternoon. High of only 35 degrees. And then Sunday, we're going to top out around 40 degrees. And it'll be kind of normal. We'll mix those sun and clouds on that particular day.

Now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano. It's Tuesday, February 6th. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, a winter weather advisory went into effect late Wednesday night and continues through this morning. If you have to be on the roads early today, make sure you use extra caution. As you just heard, there's a lot of accidents.

A winter storm is bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain to the Delaware Valley over the course of just a few hours. Slippery conditions are expected on the roads for this morning's commute, with most roads already being treated in the area. The Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. It began at 7 o'clock last night and ends at 1 o'clock today. I did a little fishtail this morning. Oh, you did? Yeah.

Just a rear end just slightly kicked out on me. I was like, okay. Was it the weakest one I get to do or I'm going to die? It wasn't full on, but it was like, ooh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it in the parking lot here? No, it was actually on a street in my, you know, not in my neighborhood, but in my general driving waiting to get to the Northeast extension. What?

That's what I get to do. I was making a turn and it kicked out and I'm like, oh, okay. We all slept in the parking lot here. Oh, did you? Yeah. First step onto my back patio, I slipped. Yeah, and then I got down in the driveway and I slipped there again. Fortunately, it didn't go down, but man, it's a little slippery out. The winter weather began with light snow last night. It turned over to sleet and freezing rain, and now we're seeing mostly freezing rain throughout the area. By 10 o'clock, it will be mostly rain until about noon, depending on where you live.

Ice accumulation is expected throughout the region, ranging from 0.1 to 0.25 of an inch of ice. Fernando! Fernando! Do you remember the ice storm? I know we bring this up quite often. That ice storm. Do we remember how thick that was? Like, I just remember it being...

When was this? Case, do you remember when we were probably in high school? Oh, we were ice skating down the street. Yeah. I mean, it was, I would say, at least two inches thick. I mean, it was on the roads. What year are we talking? There were two really big storms. One was 93 and one was 96. And I think the one in 96 was more snow.

I remember the one in 93. The early one, I think, yeah. Yeah, and Casey, we were doing the same thing. We were skating with neighbors. We played a bunch of, quote unquote, ice hockey outside, but it was a blast. But I remember going to school. We still went to school. There's a little bit of freezing rain out there. Everybody's all commercial days. Listen, we're in a much more wildly litigious scenario, but also people are more cautious about...

You know, just in general, you don't want to put anyone at risk, which makes sense. And then they have the option of remote learning, which, OK, I remember, though, years ago, you know, this is well before when I was a young teenager, we had a an ice storm up in New York.

And it had to hit here. I don't know. Maybe it didn't. But on Long Island, we tended to get ice storms fairly profoundly. And Preston, the branches of the trees and like a weeping willow, it looked like very thick hoses of ice. That's how much things were encased in ice. But fortunately, Steve, you could warm up next to a woolly mammoth. Wooly mammoth. And I cut my... That's what we did. My tribe. Cut the mane. Yeah. And got inside. But...

What I clearly remember, though, which was an amazing thing, and I remembered all these years, the power was out. But at night, when you'd step outside and there was a light breeze, it'd be like...

You can hear it. Oh, you can hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Crinkling and everything. I had photography in school, and so there's pictures somewhere of that storm that Casey and I were talking about. It sucks, but it's beautiful. It is. It really is. So tomorrow we'll see sunny skies and some higher temperatures before another possible snowstorm this weekend. There are school closings, delays, and virtual instruction. As we already mentioned, check your district's website to see what's in store for your kids today.

Police have released the name of a man who was killed on the ground when a medical jet crashed in northeast Philadelphia on Friday. City resident 37-year-old Stephen Druitt was found dead inside a vehicle after the plane crashed just before 610 on the 2300 block of Cotman Avenue. Several vehicles were traveling in the area at the time.

According to Drewitt's family, his girlfriend and nine-year-old son, Ramsey's Vasquez, were also in the car. The boy's mother, Jaime, Jamie Vasquez, Vienna, says her son has burns to 90% of his body. Oh, my God.

She says she's taking it day by day and trying to be strong for her son as he receives care in Boston. She described Ramsey's as fearless and brave. There was no immediate word on the condition of Druitt's girlfriend. Ramsey's family says he was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children and then flown by helicopter with his mother to Boston where they say he is in critical condition and sedated. The number of people injured remains at 24. However, city officials have stressed that the numbers could rise as the investigation continues.

Preston, this story is for you. The SS United States could be on its last days in Philadelphia. I heard that. The plan is it moves today, right? It's not moving today. Oh my God. They amended that. Yeah.

I was like, I saw the story. I was like, I'm not doing it. I'm like, yes, I am. I'm going to do it for Preston. Why don't we just move Philadelphia and leave it here? So Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department in Florida, which is the ship's new owner, announced a new departure date for the massive ship that has been at Pier 82 along the Delaware River in South Philadelphia.

for nearly 30 years. Officials said they have completed the necessary safety requirements by local, state, and federal agencies for the historic vessel to begin its journey down to Mobile, Alabama. In fall of 2024, Florida's Okaloosa County bought the 1,000-foot vessel with the plan of creating the world's largest artificial reef. City commissioners approved the $10.1 million plan to relocate the ocean liner, sink it, and build a $1 million seaside museum chronicling the cruise liner's history.

Operations to move the SS United States began at 8.21 yesterday. So apparently it was supposed to move today because of weather. It's not going to. And the weather's pretty sketchy for the next couple of days. Well, yeah. So they're saying during low tide at 4 a.m. on Saturday, it will depart from Philadelphia where it will be chaperoned by multiple tugboats down the Delaware River and into the Atlantic Ocean. But the plans have been modified. They are going to sink it, but they're going to make it...

world's largest sunken museum. So that'll be an interesting place to visit. I mean, we'll see how it goes. You know, I'm putting no stock in this plan. Every time it's reported, they're like, no, this is it. So that, so I did hear it. I was like, okay, it's moving. And then as I'm reading the story and I am listening to it on the news, the TV and the office,

I'm like, oh my God, it was supposed to move today and already it's not moving today. Well, they're going to close the bridges, correct? Because they're planning to stop people from stopping on the bridge and gaping as it passed?

The ship was originally supposed to leave Philadelphia in November, but was delayed due to logistical details. There was also a tropical disturbance in the Gulf. Once immobile, the ship will be prepared to be sunk off of Florida's panhandle. The interior of America's flagship will be scrapped and rid of any toxins and asbestos. Preparing the vessel for development is expected to take about a year. Once the cleanup is finished, the vessel will then be towed back out to the Gulf, where it will travel about 20 miles southeast of the Gulf.

to just off the shores of Destin, Fort Walton, for it to be sunk. A sense of disturbance in the Gulf. As if a thousand oysters, Craig. So keep your eye out. We'll see if it actually happens on Saturday. All right. All right, in sports this morning. Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy. What the f*** is that?

The Sixers lost to the Miami Heat 108-101 last night in South Philly. What the f*** is this? Tyler Hero scored 30 points and Bam Adebayo had 18 points and 13 rebounds on the night the Heat traded Jimmy Butler to Golden State. Butler had been suspended by the team for the game and Josh Richardson, also reportedly part of the deal, was out with a foot injury. Tyrese Maxey scored 31, his seventh straight game scoring at least 30 points and Kelly O'Bray Jr. added 15 points.

and 11 rebounds for the Sixers. They're in Detroit tomorrow night with the game against the Pistons at 7.30. The Flyers, who have lost four games in a row and six out of the last seven, are back at home tonight and will host the Washington Capitals, who are the best team in the Eastern Conference, with 35 wins and 77 points. The Pup will drop at 7 o'clock.

And the Eagles continue to prepare for Super Bowl 59, which is on Sunday in New Orleans. The team's offensive line should be at full strength for the game. Both Landon Dickerson and Cam Juergens were full participants as the Eagles had their first full team practice at the Saints facility. Dickerson and Juergens both played through injuries in the NFC Championship game.

But their full participation at practice means the Eagles will have their starting left guard and starting center when they play the Chiefs on Sunday. Kickoff is at 6.30. And that's what I have for you this morning. Thank you very much, Kathy. We have a full boat today. A lot of stuff going on. We hope you're going to be a part of it.

Our pep rally concert series continues. We are going to have live music in the studio, hopefully, hopefully, with the weather. The Hooters will be here. Rob, Eric, and Dave. And they have their 45th anniversary tour. They'll be playing the Met on...

on Saturday, May 17th. So we're excited. They're going to come by and give their version of the Eagles fight song. And Nick, did you say that they're going to hooter it up? Yes, Rob is very excited to quote unquote hooterize the Eagles fight song. So they'll be bringing the melodica and I just, I love those guys. They're such nice guys and they're fantastic musicians. And today,

We are headed to the Big Easy, folks. Y'all, we're headed to New Orleans. Andrew Salchunas from The Fanatic, our sister station. Very cool. He's broadcasting live from there. So we're going to check in. We're going to get a little flavor from him, see how things are going so far.

We'll, you know, alert him of BirdBot's travels. Which, by the way, BirdBot should already be on the road as we speak. Glasgow, Virginia. Where? Glasgow, Virginia. That is where BirdBot is currently tracked to. Right, currently on a main thoroughfare passing through. Fantastic. Maybe we'll hear from listener Helen. I don't know. She'll probably call in at some point to give us an update on BirdBot. So we'll check in with Andrew in New Orleans later on this morning. And our friends from Icala.

If you can answer this Black History Month, February's Black History Month, and we have questions courtesy of our buddy Craig Legans, and I love this one, so here it is to you. What was Billy Ray Valentine's

zodiac sign. What? 215263 WMMR. Do you know this? What is Billy Ray Valentine's zodiac sign? 215263 WMMR. Call now if you know the answer. Some birthdays today to go through. We'll start with stunningly beautiful Alice Eve. Yes, she's out of my league. So do yourself a favor. The old Craig Ferguson. Yeah, the late...

She was a perennial guest. And the flirting was extensive. It was fun. Oh, my God. She is so phenomenal. Yep. Star Trek Into Darkness, Entourage, a bunch of stuff. She turns 43 years old today. From the show MASH, Mike.

Burrell or Farrell? Farrell. Mike Farrell, yes. Yeah. With BJ Honeycutt. And he turns 86 years old. It says he was in Desperate Housewives, too. Did he do a turn in that? Might have briefly been on it. Okay. I don't remember, Kathy. Wait, who? Mike Farrell was BJ Honeycutt from MASH? I'm going to look it up. Do you know he's also one of these guys who is an investment whiz? Okay. So he's made a ton of money on real estate. Didn't know that. Yeah. Wow. Mike Farrell, 86 today. Kathy Najimy. Oh!

Yeah, Hocus Pocus and Sister Act. One of your favorite movies. I love Sister Act. Yep. She turns 68 today. She's also the voice of Hank Hill's wife, right? That's right. King of the Hill. Peggy, yeah. Wait, she's 68? Yeah, yeah. She doesn't look it, right? She's been around for a long time. Oh, my God. Yeah. So we also have actor Charlie Heaton.

From Stranger Things, he plays Jonathan. He's great. Winona Ryder's oldest son. I love in the third season, they turn him into a stoner. It's so funny. It's great. It's great. I mean, they're doing references to many movies on the surface, and then there are sub-references. And their adoration for that time period is so amazing. So he turns 31 years old today. All right, it's time to get rolled, gang. Today is Rick Astley's birthday. Yes!

He turns 59 years old. I love that period where people were being routinely rickrolled and you'd hear somebody in an office open a file. I think that it will go on for a long, long, long time. I think so, yeah. It had its height in how often it was popping up, but it's still around. You know, it's wild, though. During COVID, he was doing stuff.

Some sort of like concerts remotely. And the dude's actually a very good musician. He's a great singer. He's 59 years old today. All right, Nick. It's Fabian's birthday.

Fabian or Fabio? I'm sorry. I was thinking of Fabio. Fabian is the singer. I mean, I love Fabian, too. Fabian's good, too. He's just never held me. Fabio held you gently. That's right. No, this Fabian is 82 years old today. Fabian's pelvis would snap if he tried to be good. We also have Axl Rose. Axl Rose.

Axel is 63 years old. Appetite for turducken. That is one of my favorite memes from earlier on when all of a sudden Axel got fat and we didn't notice and all of a sudden we saw pictures of him and somebody put appetite for turducken.

As the text in the meme, and we died laughing when we saw that. So Axl turns 63 years old. And then the last birthday I have, newsman Tom Brokaw. That's right. Yep, he turns 85. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. We go down to Jim and see a car bell where he's getting me a birthday cake.

He is the only person to host all three major NBC news programs. The Today Show. That's pretty wild. NBC Nightly News. And briefly, he hosted Meet the Press.

And he now serves as a special correspondent for NBC News and works on documentaries. My favorite story is Pierre's encounter with him across the salad bar at a supermarket. Yeah. And you know, you know, Broco is like, is there a security here? Happy 85th birthday to Tom Broco. All right, let's see if you know the answer to this. What is Billy Ray Valentine's Zodiac sign? And first in was Adam. So we'll go to him. Adam Mornin.

Morning. I'm your uncle. Okay. All right, Mr. Homie Uncle. Adam, what is Billy Ray Valentine's Zodiac sign, please? Capricorn. Capricorn. You got it. Hang on there.

Got yourself four-pack tickets for the Philadelphia Home Garden show February 21st through the 23rd at the Expo Center in Oaks. And tickets are at phillyhomeandgarden.com. And you can get discounted tickets if you use the promo code Casey, mind you. So we'll start with this. Sources said to TMZ that Giselle Bunchen has reportedly welcomed her first baby with her boyfriend and former jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquin Valente.

The supermodel previously opened up about her new relationship to the New York Times, saying, This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first. Adding that it's very different, it's very honest, and it's very transparent. When news of her pregnancy broke in October of last year, a source told Us Weekly that she had informed her ex-husband, Tom Brady, beforehand out of respect, noting she wanted to give him that courtesy and knew that their kids...

would tell him either way. How many times in your dating life did you progress from friendship into dating? It happened a couple times for me. I don't know if it ever happened to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was, that was a bridge I was afraid to cross. Yeah, because you could end up losing the friend. Yeah. Though Brady was reportedly shocked at first, the source added he knows Giselle's a great mom and was destined to be a mom, so everybody's happy.

Jed Wallace, owner of the public relation firm Street Relations, has now sued Blake Lively for defamation. Oh, my God. What is happening here? This comes after she claimed that the PR firm had launched a, quote, digital army against the actress as part of the ongoing legal feud between her and Justin Baldani.

Wallace is suing Lively for defamation, claiming that he had, quote, nothing to do with the alleged smear campaign against her and suffered millions in reputational harm. Wallace's involvement was allegedly shown with text messages from Baldani's other publicist,

by Lively's attorneys, referencing Jed and his role in shaping the online chatter during the feud. So Jed Wallace is the guy that owns this place. So Lively's legal team dismissed the lawsuit as transparent retaliation and part of a broader campaign to silence her. Jed's lawsuit seeks damages of at least $6 million and a declaration clearing Wallace of liability on top of that. That just keeps adding on. Mm-hmm.

All right, so here's the follow-up. We didn't really get a chance to touch on this on the air, but Howie Mandel has publicly apologized to Bill Burr and Billy Corrigan on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast after stirring up some controversy last month. He said, and I'll explain what happened. He said, I feel horrible, and I'm sorry, Bill. I'm sorry, Billy. We tried to do something good, but...

The controversy started when Mandel surprised Bill Burr with Billy Corgan on an episode referencing a past claim that Burr might be Corgan's half-brother. So Burr was unimpressed. He called Mandel all the names in the book. Reflecting on the backlash, Mandel admitted, the truth of the matter is...

If he feels bad, I feel bad. Despite his attempts to reach out, Mandel said that Burr has left him out in the cold. So Bill Burr was on the podcast. And while on there, Howie Mandel brought in, unbeknownst, unknown to him, Billy Corrigan and said, hey,

You two guys might be brothers. There was a rumor because Billy Corgan had told Howie this, I think in confidence, and now he brought it out on the show without discussing it with Bill Byrne in advance, and Bill didn't like being blindsided. No, didn't like it at all. In fact, when you said called him all the names in the book, he did it on the podcast. It wasn't, you know, in private. Bill was being a bit of a dick on that. You know what, though? He deserves to. I thought it was okay. I get it, too. You can't do that to somebody. I mean, listen, whether it was true or not, it...

as Bill said, it drummed up like

like a bad time in his life. Yeah, if we're going to go back into my childhood about some touchy stuff, you better talk to me about it first. And he's always talked about, as he did in his autobiography, Bill Burr, about how estranged and horrible the relationship with his dad was. Yeah, so Burr had pressed Billy during their first meeting about why he felt the need to spread this theory and Corrigan defended himself saying that it was Howie Mandel that insisted he share this story on air after he told the host about it

So, yeah. And I know how he was going for it. He thought this would be actually a really cool opportunity.

quote-unquote reunion of sorts or or you know moment to have on the air but he didn't think about how that might affect bill burr and how horribly he felt about it you don't know his relationship with his dad yeah burr calls on the fact that you were looking for a stunt even if you had a bit of good intention here it was still a stunt for his podcast they had never even met before bill burr and billy corgan i mean at least introduce the guys before you go on air with it and i just think

you don't know how somebody else is going to feel or take something, whether it's, you know, going into his childhood or whatever it is. You can't surprise someone like that. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. So he's apologizing. We have a guest here. No, no. He's apologizing. This is one of your siblings from Western PA that you never knew you had. And here's the thing. I speak from experience because this is what happened in my family and everyone thought it was going to be great. Oh my God, this is going to be amazing. A long lost son that nobody knew. And I'm not talking about my... You're talking about Gary Lauer Romano. No, I'm not talking about the...

the race car driver and that, that was, that was great. It was like, Oh my God, we have extended family. But there was another situation and the people who were directly involved, the siblings, some of them, they were like, we don't want to know that it was not a good past for the person that gave birth. And they were like, we don't want to be a part of this. Unfortunately. And it was, it was heartbreaking for some people, but like for them, they just, they couldn't take it and they didn't want to be a part of it. And so had we surprised them and been like, here's your brother.

Like, we would have, they would have never talked to us again. They would have been ugly. Yeah. Okay. All right, so we told you yesterday, Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son, was arrested this week in Florida on multiple charges. And you may be wondering, did the cops know exactly who they were hauling in? Well, of course they did, because he kept telling them that. In body cam footage, Marcus can be heard telling the arresting officers, I'm Marcus Jordan, I am Michael Jordan's son, and I'm not doing anything wrong.

And that's what he led with. After things went south and he was arrested, he then made some requests, including for some specific music. In the footage, you can hear him saying, can't y'all play some holiday music? Play some Mariah Carey up in this bitch. While requesting holiday music in February is not a crime. Jordan was charged with DUI crash with property damage, possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence. He was released late Tuesday morning.

I love this story. Harrison Ford's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is on the horizon. The actor talked about stepping into the role of Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America Brave New World. This is an interview with Wall Street Journal magazine. The legendary actor admitted that he took the part with no script in hand.

And he explained by saying, why not? I saw enough marvels to see actors that I admired having a good time. And reflecting on his character's transformation into the Red Hulk, he joked,

I didn't really know that at the end I would turn into the Red Hulk. He said, it's like life. You only get so far in the kit until the last page and the instructions are missing. When previously asked about the motion capture process at Comic-Con, he said, they asked him how he did it. He said, it took not caring. It took being an idiot for money, which I've done before. Yeah.

Still, he made it clear that he had no regrets joining the MCU, saying, it's fun, and I enjoyed it, and I had a great time. So, of course, yeah, he's going to do a little bit, grab some money. Speaking of the MCU, one of our favorite actors, Tim Blake Nelson, says his return to the role of Samuel Stearns, also known as The Leader, is a bit different than when he made his debut in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. He said in this version...

which is not the version I expected to play, I got to get better as an actor. And thanks to Kevin Feige and Nate Moore and Julius Ona and the writers, they wrote a beautifully nuanced character that was a wonderful challenge to play and that I wouldn't have been able to play 15 years ago because I don't think, hopefully anyway, I was the actor that I am now. And what we want to do most as actors is continue to grow. Yeah, I remember him at that time when we were...

first seeing peaks of him, I never would have thought he's the actor that we now know him to be. Yeah, he's great. Yeah. So he said, I feel the need that I needed this maturity to be able to play what they wrote, what drives Samuel Stearns as the leader is a sense of justice through anarchy and

And there's a lot of history behind it that is exposed really beautifully in the writing. And I'm incredibly grateful that they asked me back and had a great time with such a phenomenal cast. I've known a lot of them for many, many years. And I agree with Harrison, meaning Harrison Ford. One of the features of the MCU is the way they curate the world. They put serious actors in their movies. They don't mess around in terms of shallow choices, in terms of casting. And that starts with Anthony, who has such depth.

And soul is an actor, uh, meaning, uh, Anthony Mackie. Uh, but I would also say it applies to everyone on the screen right now. It's a, it's great to be a part of that group. Yeah. I mean, let's, let's hope that it's, it's pretty good, you know, and he's going from this, he's going right into the role of Marmal Duke. So that should be in. That's a stretch, but he's a great actor. He is a terrific guy. So the popcorn bucket for the upcoming horror film, the monkey, uh,

has been revealed and fans are calling it the best one yet of all these interesting little themed buckets. Yeah, the chilling collectible features the film's eerie toy monkey clutching its drumsticks with the drum serving as the popcorn bucket. Customized buckets have become a huge trend from Dune having a viral sandworm bucket to the open mouth of Deadpool and Wolverine's bucket. The monkey, which is based on Stephen King's 1980 short story, features the White Lotus star Theo James

As twin brothers faded to a life of terror after the haunted monkey toy keeps killing the people around them. Yeah, we're looking at it. This is actually a pretty good bucket. I do think the Dune bucket is pretty damn good. Did you get one at all? I didn't get one. I have the Deadpool Wolverine. Yeah, so do I. But I never got the Dune bucket. The movie's going to hit theaters on February 21st.

The first round of presenters for the Oscars has been revealed. Emma Stone, Killian Murphy, Divine Joy Randolph, and Robert Downey Jr. will all present at the awards ceremony. Additional presenters will be announced at a later date. Stone, Murphy, Randolph, and Downey Jr. all won the Big Four Acting Awards last year. Best Actress, Best Actor, Supporting Actress, and Supporting Actor. Conan O'Brien is going to be hosting the Oscars this year, March 6th.

Second, 7 p.m. on ABC and then on... And here, the Cecil B. DeMille Award will be presented by Larry the Cable Guy, which is... I think it's a departure. Yeah. That guy's a talent. He's very, very good. The first trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth is out. I actually watched this. I didn't know that this was on the horizon. Yeah. Neither did I. And listen, it looks fine. Um...

But we listen, dinosaur movies are fine. But do we have to keep going back to the Jurassic series?

You know, can't we just open a whole new franchise and not call it, you know what I mean? Well, I'll say this for expecting a certain level that I liked what I was seeing in the trailer. And it may have to do more, Preston, with the way the effects are executed. So the trio will find, this is, it stars, by the way, Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Mailey. The trio find their way to a restricted island that houses the small number of remaining dinosaurs.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, they'll try to get enough genetic material to discover a potentially life-saving drug. That's why they're going back there. The island houses the dinosaurs that were too dangerous for the original park, apparently.

So it won't be easy. It will be out. It never is, is it? The theater's on July 2nd. Oh, that was easy. We got in and out. Five-minute movie. That was a great part. Everything ran. And look, I got a popcorn bucket. We got the drugs we needed. We're all good. Mission accomplished, everybody. I'm going back. Good job. This one was easy. If they did that just as a...

Just to do something different. So basically, it's a date with them at the park. Yeah. That was cool. All right. Now for lunch. Netflix has released a short behind-the-scenes video for the upcoming Adam Sandler movie, Happy Gilmore 2. The golf comedy is filled with stars, including Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, and more. But it will also feature some pro golfers as featured in the new behind-the-scenes video. So PGA Tour player Justin Thomas...

makes an appearance in the vid and shows the cast and crew laughing it up as they shoot the highly anticipated movie. Other pro golfers like Rory McIlroy, Scotty Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Will Zellatoris will all be appearing. So they're really stocking it with...

Pro golfers. So, on a level of golf movie fandom, where does Happy Gilmore fall for you? You know what? Not crazy high. I always thought it was a fun movie, but I got kind of bored of it over time. So, you're more like a tin cupper? Tin cup is definitely my favorite of the golf movies. But,

I am excited to see this and the fact that they're including a lot of the top golfers. I think that's going to make it even more appealing for me personally. So, but hopefully, hopefully good stuff. Happy Gilmore too. We'll be on Netflix later this year. Casey, are you excited?

Are you hesitant because it's a Netflix movie, you think? Well, no. Actually, believe it or not, the Adam Sandler Netflix movies, I'm okay with. I agree. Like Hubie Halloween. Absolutely. What was the western? It was a riff on the... Something eight, right? Yeah, yeah. Seven instead of eight, wasn't it? Right. It was a riff on the Tarantino. Yeah, yeah. What was that? I don't remember.

It had a very good horse. I believe it was a horse diarrhea scene. The ridiculous six. We had the wrong number. All of us really. Eight, seven? Two more quick stories. HGTV's Love It or List It is coming back with a new look.

designer Paige Turner is going to replace longtime co-host Hillary Farr. Paige? Paige Turner. Is Paige from... No, Paige was... Oh, that's it. I'm sorry. I was confused. No, this is Paige...

Turner. You get it? Oh, that's great. That's really good. So she is replacing longtime host Hillary Farr, who exited the show after 17 seasons in 2023. The future of the popular series was in doubt with Farr's departure. But fans got the good news yesterday that a season 20 was on the way. Season 20. Turner is a familiar face to Reno show fans, having appeared on HGTV's Flip or Flop Nashville.

and flip my fit uh flip fix my flip wasn't she on kweefer fart uh real estate agent david uh visit it visentin huh the zenton i guess i say his name i just know what the dude looks like uh we'll be coming back to co-host along with turner and the eight episode 20th season returns to hdtv this summer

And then one last story. This is great. So the hit song from Rupert Holmes, Escape, the pina colada song, is getting turned into a movie. Oh, my God. The film's story is currently under wraps, but it will apparently be a romantic comedy. This song is about a man bored with his relationship who responds to a personal ad seeking someone who enjoys pina coladas.

Only to discover that the woman behind the ad is actually his current partner. Please include this story in Music News. Okay, thank you. Absolutely. Pierre's going to love that one. You know what? I saw a really cool video the other day on Instagram. I follow a ton of drum...

accounts and one is Drumeo. And the guy who played drums on this song, the legendary drummer named Steve Jordan, currently plays for the Rolling Stones. And he's the guy who played drums on this session. And he played with the Blues Brothers. I mean, he's like one of the best drummers. He's phenomenal. But a lot of times...

These songs, not unlike the Wrecking Crew, that have come and gone or have been a one-hit-one or stuck around forever, have legendary musicians that played on those sessions. It's crazy. So it was the final number one song of the 1970s. 1979, December 1979, was the number one hit. So we had a brief discussion off air the other day about Andrew Gold and Oh, What a Lonely Boy and the Golden Girls theme.

And I took sort of a deep dive. And I was saying, listen to this song. I was like, Preston, this song is really, it's really complex and cool. It is. And then I do some more deep diving. He was Linda Ronstadt's guitar. No kidding. Guitar and music arranger. Wow. And has worked, same, to your point, session work, toured with all these established bands. Yeah. And this was sort of a side project. That's cool, man. All right. We got Clips Flake.

So the miniseries Apple Cider Vinegar is based off the real story of how cancer scammer Belle Gibson became an adored health influencer. In this clip, Alicia Debnam Carey shares the show's takeaway message. It's an extraordinarily complex story, right? It's interesting watching it ten years later and

really understanding the fallout of Bell. But I think also maybe that we shouldn't be so quick to judge people on their journey with health and wellness. Doctors and modern medicine is very important. But at the same time, you know, we should have some grace and understanding for people who are really, really going through it. Yeah, yeah, big whoop. No one cares. Apple cider vinegar premieres today on Netflix. Will your mom watch this, Kathy? Because she's a big apple cider vinegar fan.

She probably will. And Netflix is, I believe, the only streaming service that they have. Because I'll be like, oh, it's on Apple TV. And she's like, yeah, no, we're not watching that. Next clip, here we go. The new comedy series, Clean Slate.

is one of the final projects produced by Norman Lear. And here Laverne Cox describes the moment that she pitched the show to the groundbreaking television producer. Norman comes over to me and he's like, okay, that first pitch, that was okay, but next time, can you do that, but funny? Norman Lear was like, you're not funny. I was funnier the next meeting, and here we are. So whenever Norman Lear says something to you, you listen, you take the note, and it will make you better.

Clean Slate premieres today. You can see that on Prime Video. And that is our entertainment report for the sixth day of February 2025, people. We have a lot on the program this morning.

BirdBot. Oh, yeah. Gotta get a BirdBot update. BirdBot. Marissa was telling us off air, and if you follow the BirdBot Instagram account, you will see that BirdBot had one hell of a day. Oh, my God. It was amazing. Yesterday. I didn't see all of it. Marissa, what are some of the highlights? You said that was your favorite BirdBot day so far. Yeah, so he was picked up by a food truck called Frio's.

They're like a popsicle truck. Yes. We're going to meet those girls later on this morning, but they took him on a full tour. They picked him up on Jewelers Row, and then they went to the Liberty Bell and the Constitution Center.

And then they went over to Comcast where they were having a pep rally on like the front of the building right there. Right, the big age room? Yeah, so like hundreds of people were out there. Everyone was taking photos. He actually just like got his own table. And people started doing that and he was getting all stickered up over there. And then they...

made their way out to the Radnor area. So they stopped by. So this is where it gets a little fuzzy because we're just relying on the stories that people tag us in. So if they're not in order, it's a little hard to figure it out exactly. But so he stopped at Federal Donuts, the one that's out there. And then he went with

somebody to Carol because she wanted to surprise her son in pickup lines. Oh, that's great. So there's a picture in front of the big Archbishop Carol sign. And then he made his way over to the Vetri Pizza and Anthropology space where Helen works. And that's where he connected with Helen. All right. And speaking of Helen, she's on her phone right now. So we're going to go and check in with Bird Bot on the road, all the way to New Orleans. Helen, are you there?

Good morning, guys. Good morning. You gotta love that. Say hi to everybody. Hey, guys. You guys barreling down the road in your Escalade, right? Yeah, so listen, we rode in torrential downpours with lightning. That was insanity. But we're past Roanoke, and we're rolling, man.

Yeah, I see that you're in Christianburg, Virginia, which says it's about 340 miles away or at least near there. And so did you clear at any point we were traveling through any ice or so on and so forth? You said you were going to leave earlier.

Oh, we have no doubt. We have no doubt. Helen, who are you traveling with? Say hi, Denise. Hello, guys! Hey, Denise!

Hi, go birds. Go birds. Go birds. Hi. All right. So I heard Denise and what were the other two names? I'm sorry. We were kind of yelling when you said their names. Margie and Bill. Margie and Bill. Margie. Margie and Bill. All right. Nice. Who's driving at this point? So Bill's driving. It's just getting late now. We're going to take turns. So I'm probably going to jump in the wheel after I'm done talking to you guys. What time do you anticipate you'll be rolling into the Big Easy? I don't know.

7-10. 7-10 tonight? Wow. You guys are thorough. Yeah. Yeah. We're on a mission. We're on a mission. So, guys, the bird bot is overwhelmed. He slept the whole entire trip. The most amazing day yesterday. The stickers that was put on the fire department, the Mercedes guys, all of my friends met me at Petri. It was just so surreal. Oh, that's cool. It was so surreal.

It's just been an adventure already and we are just starting. Okay. Yeah, it's just beginning. Yeah, we're very intrigued. We're following you. Obviously, the Apple AirTag is on board to know where you are, but you guys are really making good time and leaving that much earlier. That was a stroke of genius.

Yeah, we actually were looking at ourselves going, Jesus Christ, we're that smart to do this, but we're doing it. Helen, so are you guys going straight to a hotel when you get there, get settled in, and then get on the move? No, actually,

We actually, we, unless you need me to do something, we were going to go to our friend's house that we're staying with and chill out. And then we're ready to do your task, whatever you need us to do. All right. Well, you know, that's it. Obviously, as we said, since the beginning of this, it kind of, it ends up where it ends up. So a lot of where it ends up, obviously is going to be where you guys go to. And, and if you pass it along or whatever, whatever happens, we only hope the best for BirdBot and for you guys.

Well, BirdBot is staying with me until I come back from Philly. I already made a promise to Campbell Soup that I would bring him down so everybody can get pictures. And then I'm meeting somebody special. And I will let you guys know that when I talk to you next time. Okay. Hey, Helen, I don't know if I've asked you this before. If we have, have you been to New Orleans before?

So I literally rode through because my kid was playing in Nashville and then I drove out to Colorado and literally rode through, but did really nothing in New Orleans. I mean, there's so much to see and do. It's a great city, not just the French Quarter. But yeah, I think you're going to have a blast. And there are so many Philadelphians who are already there. You're just going to see one Eagles fan after another.

Well, somehow, someway, over the past three days, I have 777 new followers. I'm thinking that this is going to blow our minds, but we're taking Bird by everywhere. He's going to hang out with Chris Stapleton and Jelly Roll, and we're going to make you guys proud.

But I do want, I just want to, I feel like I need to voice this. You don't have to bring him home. We wouldn't mind if you passed him along, if you released him to somebody else. Now, we do want him to see and meet Jelly Roll and Chris Stapleton. I don't know when that show is, but, you know, this is a community thing. You coordinate with everyone else. When is it, Helen? It is tomorrow night. Okay.

Well, yeah, after you get that taken care of, you can release him into the wild. It's up to you, okay? Really? Yeah. So, I don't know. Okay, okay. But other Eagles fans. Other, yeah.

Is it up to us? Should we release it, too? Totally. It's always been. In fact, the fact that it ended up in your hands was purely by the goodwill of the listeners. We had other than just suggesting we had no sway over it. So listen, just put it in the right hands. If you feel it's safer with you or you. But if you have someone who's enthusiastic and you like the cut of their jib, as they say, then pass Bird Bottle along.

Oh, my God. Guys, you're amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. We love you, Helen. We'll talk to you soon, okay? Safe travels. Love you guys.

There they go. Bird bot on the road. And he is headed to New Orleans and they'll be there in about 12 hours or so, she said. That's pretty amazing. I love it. I love it. While they are on their mission, we have other things to do. So I figured it'd be good to go through a few surveys. Oh, surveys? Yes. Time for Survey Says.

Surveys in a variety of different subjects and we're going to start with this survey question, which is, and they asked adults, 3,854 U.S. adults, which team do you think will win the Super Bowl this year? All right. Now, we have an envelope on the console in front of you. A prediction has already been made by one Casey boy. Yes. And that will be opened the day after the Super Bowl. And actually not a prediction, a

A premonition. A premonition. So it came to him. It came to him in an actual dream. Was it not, Case? No. Oh. A daydream. A daydream, okay. I was wide awake. Oh, I thought, but it wasn't that you sat and analyzed things and said, this is what the score's going to be. This kind of came to you.

Yeah, the two numbers popped up. One number for one team, another number for another team. And I tried to shake that number. I tried to shake that final score. Couldn't do it? Couldn't do it. So that's it. All right, we'll see. So according to this poll, to this survey, 33% of those polled think that the Chiefs will win. 20% think that the Eagles will win. Now, 33% don't care.

And 15% aren't sure. So we're going to win! So the amount of people that don't care equal the amount of people that believe that the Chiefs will win. Well, all right. So we are going to claim the don't cares. All right? So now we are at 53%. So sometimes there are teams that are playing, whether it be the World Series or it be the Super Bowl or whatever, where the vast majority of the country, you can be dialed in, but you don't care. I think there are elements to this pairing that...

because it's a repeat of a battle. Potential three-peat, too. Exactly, potential three-peat. You have the Taylor Swift aspect of it as well. And so all those things together, I think, are going to give you, they're actually predicting a record viewership for the Super Bowl. Who would have thought that we would have been saying the Taylor effect? I know, I know. The Super Bowl, the Taylor Swift effect for the Super Bowl. Wow. Has she ever performed at a halftime show?

I don't know. That's a good question. I don't think she's ever been the featured performer. I don't know if she's ever shown up in a...

in like a guest role, you know, because they've done that before, but she certainly could. Oh my God. I mean, she's got enough material. Yeah, and did I hear, do they not pay? They don't. Yeah, that's what I understand. The promotional aspect of that impact is so great that they don't pay the artists. That's why it's always someone that's releasing an album or something like that. Exactly, and who's releasing an album? Well, not didn't just release, but Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, it was kind of recent. Yeah, and won all his awards. Yeah, Grammys.

All right, so anyhow, that's what America thinks according to this poll. Let's get to another one. This is a YouGov survey, and the survey is all about people wearing suits. People wearing suits. A variety of different questions about, you know, who likes wearing suits, who hates wearing suits, how many suits do you have, stuff like that. So they find that 44% of Americans never wear a suit.

And more have negative than positive feelings about wearing suits. I can see that. 45% say they wear suits less frequently now than they did 10 years ago. Only 10% wear them more often. And twice as many Americans would rather wear suits less often than they do than more often. So when casual wear became more acceptable and more and more people during the pandemic were working from home and then kind of ported that fashion sense back into work, that's part of the deal. And then on the other hand, Preston...

For a lot of people, and we'd probably fall into that category, the only times we're wearing suits is weddings and funerals. Yeah, that's it. I feel so much better for people like our account executives, our sales people, because they were always the suits. Had to wear a suit every day to work. And now they wear...

casual, nice casual attire. They look more comfortable. I think it's great. If you wear a suit every day, I think you get used to it and you buy suits that are comfortable for you. So

I do understand that because you're thinking about if you had to put a suit on and come sit here... You'd want to die. You would hate it. News people. If you had to do it every single day, you'd get used to it. I hate suits. I don't even like the way... Like a nice fitting suit on me. I don't even like the way it looks. No? No, I don't. It just...

I think part of it is about the collar coming all the way up and buttoning. I hate that. Yeah. Uh, the, the tie, what's the point of that whole thing? Um, the thong, the jacket itself, it only makes you look a little wider, you know? I mean, you look like kingpin. So I don't, I don't, yeah. Uh,

I never have liked it. Listen, so, and Kathy's right. There was a time where I was wearing a suit fairly regularly, and you just get used to it. Given my druthers, would I prefer to be in shorts and a t-shirt like the normal attire here? Yes, of course. I mean, and then when you wear it every day, you have your comfortable suit. You have your comfortable dress shoes. You know, like, it wears on. Agreed, but I would say this. Wearing a suit is also a sign of respect for certain people.

Sure. Situations. Yeah. I wore one two Fridays ago. It was at the father-daughter dance. I got this suit at Men's Warehouse. It is comfortable. I'm carrying less weight, so it's not as heavy.

restrictive and stuff. Like a sausage. Yeah. It's definitely better when you weigh less. Yeah. It's a lot better. Definitely. I have a couple of suits, but I end up renting from iKabuchi. Really? Yeah, because I can change up the fashion. I can change up the style. What am I feeling? And

And I've been rocking a John Wick the past couple times. Oh, yeah? Yeah, and I'm digging that. Yeah, I bought a tuxedo a few years ago because we had some events that were like a few of them that were in a row. And I'm like, well, if I keep renting this, I may as well buy one. Right. So I bought a tux. I bought two tuxes over the time, which I never wore. I might as well have two ready to go at any time. Never wear them. Nick, one befell your tuxedo issue with the moths.

Yeah, I had some moths in a closet and they chewed through a tuxedo that I had packed for our Radio Hall of Fame appearance. That was fun to find that out. But I bought, I shared this with you guys on air before, but I bought one last summer and it was the best suit buying experience I've ever had in my life. It was a suit supply store in King of Prussia. Kathy turned me on to the place. Great service. It looks nice. It feels nice. I will always buy my suits there. Now, I will give you this. I do like going to the suit store. Yeah, it was terrific. They take care of you. Yeah.

They make you feel pretty. The whole process of measuring and fitting and stuff like that is usually pleasant. Suit sales people are usually pretty nice. Ask for Ryan. And where? The suit supply store in King of Russia. Oh, really? Ryan!

17% of Americans hate wearing suits. 17% dislike wearing suits. And about 130 feel neutral about wearing suits. That's 34%. Technical term is nooch. And 17% like it. 8% love wearing suits. So if you watch earlier James Bond movies, you know, Connery, whatever.

wherever he was, was in a suit. Uh, it's like, it really is. He's on the beaches of Jamaica and he's wearing a suit. Uh, but yeah, um, I, I guess if you really have a really well tailored suit, as you were saying, Kathy, and if maybe that Casey, we talk about the ad for the miracle suit that apparently is as wise can be, well, maybe that's, that's an option, but still, I don't like the process of putting on all that stuff. Yeah. You know, uh,

Last year, few Americans were wearing suits frequently. 28% of men and 60% of women say they never wear suits. 46% of men wear a suit once a year. 14% of men wear a suit once a year. 14% every few years. 12% less often than men.

And among women, 24% wear a suit once a year, every... Blah, blah, blah. Do you know why I'm a hypocrite with this, though? Because I love wearing occasionally a hoop skirt. Uh-huh. And that's very cumbersome. That is? Yeah. You got to plan for that like the whole night. The whole thing, yeah. But I want to be the belle of the ball. All right. So these are suit-wearing stats. Let's go to another survey. Let's go.

So a new YouGov survey explored which demographics are more likely to have one or more spare bedrooms and what the rooms are being used for. You know what? Initially when this segment started, we were pointing out how all these stupid surveys come your way. And now I find myself...

Really enjoying the more, the dumber surveys. Me too. Like this one speaks to me and it's incredibly dumb. All right. Yeah. 51% of Americans have in their homes at least one unoccupied bedroom. Yes. 32% of Americans have one unoccupied bedroom and 16% have two and 4% have three or more. Wow. Okay. Okay.

So... Who are they? Yeah, yeah. The people that... Mansion people. The people that have an unoccupied bedroom usually live in a single-family detached home. 67% have at least one unoccupied bedroom. Among people who live in apartments, 27% have at least one spare bedroom. When Rochelle and I lived in...

started living together. That's back when we would sleep in the same bed. Before I started doing mornings, we slept in the same bed. And so we had a two-bedroom apartment. We had an extra... Yeah, you had a spare bedroom. And that's what it was for. Because we were from out of town. If our family was coming to visit, they would stay in the spare bedroom. You can use it as a guest bedroom or to cure meat sometimes. You could do that. So

So among Americans who live in another type of housing, including mobile homes and townhouses, 39% have at least one unoccupied bedroom. Yeah, we have one technical guest room with a, what do they call it, a trundle bed? Yeah. So you can sleep two people in it. Yep. A grundle bed. A grundle bed. Yeah, the trundle. We used to have a couple of those.

So what are Americans doing with their surplus bedroom? What the hell are they doing? That's part of the survey. It's got to be like a craft room or something like that. Kathy, do you... It's my jewelry making room. Okay. So that is your spare bed. You guys have a spare bedroom and you use that as kind of a workshop. Do you call it the lab? Yep. And I had a second spare bedroom and that turned into Jace's gaming room.

Okay. When my old, like where I grew up, the house that I grew up in, after my sister moved out and everybody moved out, my sister's bedroom ended up basically turning into my mom's Christmas room. And my sister's old dresser turned into like a wrapping station with, you know, it had all the wrapping paper and the bows and the...

No, no, she wasn't like a freestyle rapper. I'm here to say, yes, that's a great idea. Yeah, and so... But, like, it was... For her, it was perfect. And, like, you know, Christmas is her, my mom's big, big holiday. How long did your parents live there after you and your siblings moved out? Oh, geez. Okay, hang on a second. I don't know. Two decades, maybe? Did any of the siblings ever move back home? Nope. Okay. No. Yeah, because I think...

At one point when my, you know, because I moved out for college and then I ended up moving back home for a little bit. And I think my youngest brother moved back home for a little bit too. So my parents just kept their house until, that we grew up in until about 2010 before they finally sold and moved. Yeah, I moved back into my house, Nick, as well after moving away for a little bit and working and then coming back and for a year or so. Was the room intact the same way you left it? Yeah. Okay. For the most part. Yeah. Yeah.

And I think that's what we will probably do in my home as well. So you're not going to convert any of the kids' rooms? Not immediately. So we got Carter who moved out and we've kept the bedroom available for him when he comes back. What's the statute of limitations before he loses it? I don't know. We haven't talked about that yet. I mean, because honestly, you could maximize that space with sweatshops. You could. But he's still in college, right? Yeah. Yeah.

I know that he's living in an apartment, which is different than living in a dorm, but I still look at it like... He's not gone fully. He's not gone, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, there comes a time where it'll be like, time's up, Gary. Well, that's where you move and don't tell them. So 31% use what they consider their first unoccupied bedroom as a guest room. 18% use it as storage. Another 18% use it as a home office, and 8% use it for hobbies.

7% use the bedroom for someone who currently lives elsewhere. A captive. And fewer than 5% use it any other purpose. And among people who have the second unoccupied bedroom, they most likely use it as a guest room. When we moved into our house currently about nine years ago, I was...

I've been to too many houses where people had one or two rooms where there were boxes of stuff from a move that they never opened up. So I wanted the house to be used fully. And so that's been the goal. So in our guest room, Preston, it is also an office and it is also a hobby room for some of my stuff. So it works on all three levels. Stevie Jung only mentioned moving and not telling them, your kids.

That actually happened to my son's rugby coach. Really, really interesting guy. But he said that his parents, they moved a lot. Like way more than... And they didn't tell the kids? Yeah. Did they just come home from school? And I don't remember the full story, but I believe he was away at college. And they moved. Who are you?

They didn't tell him. The key's not working in the door, Ma. That's funny. Yeah. Wow. All right. So I have another survey. All right.

And this one is about the acceptability of potential contentious behaviors by airline passengers. So in-flight etiquette. Okay, this is a hot topic right now. This survey is all about. And they found that there is an agreement on many but not all aspects of in-flight etiquette. The most divisive behavior is one that about as many Americans agree.

say are acceptable as unacceptable for passengers to do include making a phone call, bringing a small dog on board, unbuckling their seatbelt when the seatbelt light is on, and leaving their overhead light on when the cabin lights are switched off. What about in-seat defecation? They didn't indicate that. The only thing I sort of disagree with is the light. If you want to have your light on, you can have your light on.

You know, it's amazing how people can't read the room sometimes. Yeah, that is something over which you have sway. If it's the nighttime, if people are trying to sleep, and you're not reading or anything, certainly someone's right, but it would be nice to shut it off in deference to the people around you. So those little things...

The ability to read the context of where you're sitting and what people are doing. And you try to be accommodating. I was taking a flight one time. I was by myself. I was meeting my family. I was flying to LA. And it was in the daytime. I forgot what time of day it was. But anyhow, everybody closed their windows. And were like napping and stuff. But I'm like...

I like looking out the window. I like looking out the window too, man. And so I'm sitting at the window and I left it open. And the plane was pitch dark outside of that. I was the only one that had my window open. But I'm like, it's daytime. I like looking at the topography. And I'm going to leave my window open. You are well within your rights to do that. Sometimes they'll announce it. They'll say, please close your windows. And that's where you, no!

No. No. No. I'm like a window. My favorite show's on. I could see the mountain.

And I pooped in my seat. You do see videos of people like freaking out because the person in front of them's seat is reclined? Did you see the one this week that was making the rounds where the one lady was sitting behind and she was shutting the tray? So sometimes, Casey, when I see those, I can't tell if they're fake or not. Like if they're being staged or whatever. There's so many that are fake right now because they're capitalizing on that. Those of you who have an issue with the person in front of you reclining their seat, you can F right off.

Screw you. I am a hardliner on this. That is a feature of the actual seat. Of the go-back? Yes. It is a feature of the seat that I paid for, and God damn it, I'm going to use it. So if I'm reading you correctly, you're on the fence. I'm on the fence. I don't use it, though, for that reason. The moment the wheels leave the ground, I recline. Here's the deal. Immediately. Agreed. If it is a function of the seat, and you're not...

Taking out a ratchet wrench and making it go back further than it does, that is something you're allowed to do. I would say during mealtime and things like that, you kind of keep an eye on if you're jutting out too much. I try to. But if it is, understand that is part of the seat. So, yes.

Just like you have a shade next to your seat if you're a window seat person and you have a light over that you're allowed to use. If it's a function of the plane, you should be able to do it. We talked yesterday with Mike and Alex about being able to travel together. I am complete opposite of you guys. So I will not put my seat back.

I would like to, but I feel like you get that reaction when you put your seat back. And if somebody puts their seat back on me, I'm just like, oh, I got one of the, one

One of the people to put the seat back. But listen, it is a function. I'm okay with it. The window, you would drive me nuts, Preston. If you're not staring out the window the entire time, you should shut it. I am. I'm staring out like pretty much... It just depends on how long the flight is. No, I love it. I absolutely love it. I do have a question about the armrest though because...

All right, so I'm a window seat guy, right? And so I definitely get the... Let's say I'm sitting on the windows on my right. You get the one by the window. I get the one by... But does the person in the middle... Because the guy in the aisle gets the one on the aisle. I think the person in the middle, because they're sitting in the middle, gets both. They get both. Okay, that's... I think it's a trade-off. I think that's a fair trade-off. Yeah. So...

I am a little broader. Yes. And I will sit with my arms out of deference to people. I'll kind of just fold them down, you know, or I have like a little hugging pillow or I often keep a dwarf in my lap. Oh, that's cute. But no, but that's part of the deal. Again, I think so much of this is this in-flight antagonism is because people just don't give and take a little bit. What's the longest flight you guys have ever taken?

Probably to like a five hour flight to Los Angeles. No, I'm sorry. London. Yeah. Was that eight hours? No, Hawaii. Hawaii.

Yeah, but I've usually stopped in L.A. and then I've never taken a direct flight from here to Hawaii. I think the flight from here to London is a little faster than the flight from London back. I think the London back is like seven and a half or eight or whatever. I'm going to Italy in March. Is that direct? Yes, I think it's direct from Newark. Okay. My dad flew to Singapore one time.

That's a long, long... It was like a 14-hour flight. Oh, my goodness. Did you get one of those crazy rich Asians? Of course. No. God, no. Yeah, I have a friend who used to have to travel to... I think she had to go to Hong Kong a lot. And yeah, like some of those 24-hour flights and you're just on there. So listen, yeah, that...

Yes. Again, I think just be aware of people around you and try to be courteous and it'd be a lot easier. But some people just like the thing I can't stand is people put their feet up on the bulkhead, you know, it's like next to you've seen that right where the foot is sticking past your chair level. Yeah. And you see videos of it all the time. It's like, yeah, where the foot is. What now? Person sitting behind you puts their feet up on on the bulkhead.

Right. Between. How can somebody be behind you if there's a bulkhead? The bulkhead's right in front of you.

What is the fuselage of the chair? Oh, okay. Is that a bulkhead? No, that's the side, you mean, right? The side thing. Yeah, okay. The technical term. The wall, whatever you want to call it. The wall. And they put their foot up on that, and it's sticking between the chair. You've seen these videos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not a fan. No, that's... Because you're encroaching on somebody else's territory. The foot is past the suggested... Like, I'm very much into little spaces and lines. You know, like... That...

Don't laugh. No, no, no. I get it. Those toes have encroached into my happy zone. It's in your zone. Yes. It is in my zone of comfort. I think you are, at that point, allowed to smash with your fist. Hey! Smash it as hard as you can. First, you start with this little piggy. You play that little game. This little chicken. That's why I keep a walnut cracker in my... Ah!

So according to this survey, there's widespread agreement against lots of plane behavior. At least 80% of Americans agree that it is unacceptable for commercial airline passengers to do the following, okay? Let your children play in the aisle. Get drunk. Kids should never be drunk. Leave your seat during turbulence. I have seen people do that before, and I'm like, good luck, bud. I've seen them pay for it. I saw somebody rocket off-

Okay, what do they call the top of the plane, Preston? Sorry, the top. The roof. Yeah, the ceiling. And to watch a movie or show without headphones.

Other common pet peeves include other passengers leaving behind trash in the seatbelt pocket, using both armrests, eating strong-smelling food, and exiting the plane before the people in the row in front of them. To me, that has happened a number of times. I flew all the time when I was doing stand-up comedy. This was years ago because we were on biplanes. But no, people would bring on the most pungent stuff in an enclosed airplane. It's...

It's obnoxious. It's so funny that people are so just in a rush to get on the plane. Oh, my God. People will, you know, we're boarding, you know, one through three now. And, you know, you got five waiting there. Why do you want to just sit there and wait and wait and wait? It's for baggage. Yeah, no, I get that. Yeah, I know. And we talked about the process of now. And what is the airline president you reported on? Or at least a couple of them are doing the shaming of people who are not in a particular zone.

They get up, you know, you remember the story was reported on. They're going to like a bell will go off or a light if someone has gone on or is attempting to board outside their section. And I forget the airline. Yeah. Yeah. I the whole getting on early thing is mainly for baggage space. I personally think. And by the way, if you check.

at the kiosk right there as you're going in. Your bag is usually right there when you get off, isn't it? I mean, if they check it at the last second. That's supposed to be the case. Unless you're flying into Philadelphia, in which case it could be anywhere in the airport or the country. What about the baggage plane?

All right, one last thing. So, majorities of Americans are okay with many other airplane actions by passengers. Using a laptop on the tray table, waking up a seatmate to use the bathroom, and pushing a flight attendant call button to request refreshments. You're not supposed to do that. No, I'm not.

Not for refreshments. I mean, I don't. Oh, okay. Yeah. At least have, say, each of the following is acceptable for passengers to do as well. Close the window during takeoff or landing, reclining their seat, putting small items in the overhead compartment on a full flight, and asking to switch seats with another passenger. Wait, you're supposed to close your window for takeoffs? Yeah. Well, they're permanently closed.

Well, the window shade. Yeah, they usually don't announce it. Sometimes upon landing, they'll ask you to open it. I have heard that. Because you're not going to want to miss this. We have massive wind shear, folks. You're not going to want to miss this. That is the best part of flying if you're a window guy like me and Preston are. Yeah, coming in for a landing. Yeah, and taking off. You know, I used to be a window guy when I was more cavalier. I was more in my youth when I was a pup.

Footloose and fancy. A loose can. You've learned. The aisle for me is everything. And Kathy, we're aisle people, right? I am aisle. Listen, as a kid, I loved the window, but aisle, I want to be able to stand up, sit down, turn around. And go to the bathroom without, yeah. Go to the bathroom. Without hurtling the other people. What I love about sitting by the window is from time to time is seeing another plane, uh,

Oh, close. Yeah. They come way closer than you think they do. Yes. Wait, Steve, where were we? So Steve and I are aisle people. Where were we going or coming from? I sat down. I was in the aisle. I wouldn't, I don't normally do this. I talk about you guys in the window and I'm about to tell this story. I sat down in the aisle seat.

I was exhausted. I put a face mask on and I was out for the entire flight. And I woke up and Steve was like, got a nice nap in there? And I'm like, oh my God, the poor people next to me probably like were dying to go to the bathroom or needed a drink or I don't know. She was asleep for the entire flight. What? Where were you?

I forget where it was. It might have been down to Florida. Maybe it was Florida. I don't know. Before spring training. But mind you, that's a shorter flight. It is, but still. But I think when I was on the flight when we were coming back from Germany, and I told you that I had a phase six transatlantic situation going on, and I visited that bathroom about 180 times. So that would have been a nightmare if I was in the window. If I had to go, Kath, I would have woken you up. Yeah. I hope they...

Wake up! I hope they would have. I did feel bad afterwards. I can't do aisle simply because of like leaning. Like I feel like I get bumped by people going by in the aisle. And like when I want to take a nap or whatever, if you're on the window, you can lean to your left or to your right, depending on where the window is, of course. And yeah, I like looking out the window. Yeah, I like to lay my head on the wall if I'm going to rest. And I'll go to the bathroom right before I get on the plane so that I don't have to go to the bathroom at all. Me too. I also stretch right before I get on the plane. Do you? Yeah.

Yeah. So here's the deal. If you miss out on something Kathy and I enjoy, casually tripping people. Oh, you get that option in the aisle? Yeah. And to watch. As they fall. No, no, no. But I will watch the people that pass me, specifically the flight attendants. I like to see what they're doing, who they're talking about. Which is another good thing is people getting on the flight, depending on if they look nervous, you respond by crossing yourself furiously. Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Kat, the last time I sat in the aisle, I think the flight attendant's hiney was wider than the aisle. Like, it was ridiculous. Look at her hiney. Hitting everybody walking down the aisle. Wow. All right. Well, anyhow, these were some of the flight etiquette survey results that we thought we would share with you this morning. We do need to take a break. We have a lot of things that are going on this morning.

And one of them is the fact that our friends at Piccadilly are here. Do we have giveaways? We do. We have $50 gift cards for Piccadilly. If you need any sort of copy for what they're promoting, you can look up there. Oh, thank you, Casey. All right, so we're going to give away a $50 gift card. Call our number 13 at 215-263-WMMR for Piccadilly in 206, Route 206 in Chemung, New Jersey, or piccadilly.com.

We'll be right back.

Look, we know there's a big game on this Sunday. Fair enough. But you can start the weekend by huddling up with MMR as we present our Superblock Saturday. We're tackling supersized blocks of everything that rocks from all your favorite artists. Just one more example of that special weekend programming you've come to expect from MMR. This time with just half the effort.

Superblock Saturday from 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks. Sponsored by Trinity Rehab, where technology meets experience for fast, long-lasting results.

Thanks, Kath. About an hour from now, the Hooters are stopping by, and they are part of our Pep Rally concert series. Rob, Eric, and Dave will be here to perform their hooterized version of the Eagles fight song. I watched a video of Lizzy Hale yesterday singing it. I did, too, like nine times. It was incredible.

Excellent. The response online of that clip and everyone who heard it, heard her performance, just loved it. So we get another great one today that's coming up in a little while. And then, I don't know where this came from. This is just sitting next to me. Case, did this come from you? Yeah, our friend Trish. All right, so this is fun. All right, if you're going to New Orleans this weekend, swing by Primo Hoagies on Oak Street, which is only 10 minutes from the Superdome, for the ultimate game day fuel. And here's the kicker.

If you have BirdBot and you're the first person to take a picture with it at Primo and post it on their Instagram, you get free hoagies for a year. What? That's insane. So it's one Primo-sized hoagie. That's one of the big ones. Yeah. A week for a year. What?

That's insane. The question is, do you have to go to the New Orleans location? Yeah, you have to go to that one. Okay. That's why I said it's on Oak Street. It's Primo Hoagie's on Oak Street, 10 minutes from the Superdome. What I'm saying is... Oh, to get them for the... No, I don't think so. I don't think... No.

That's going to be cost-effective. All right, so I've thrown it out there. This is from our friends, great friends of Primo Hoagies. If you're going there and you have BirdBot and you're the first one to take BirdBot and take a photo at the Primo Hoagies on Oak Street...

And you post it on their Instagram. They will give you free hoagies for a year. That's out of control. I love it. You get the feeling that BirdBot's getting more perks than we get? Yeah. Way more. Way, way, way, way more perks. Absolutely. People love BirdBot. I'm eating the hell out of some piccolo. That's true. All right. Our next guest is going to be in the studio standing by. So I wanted to do the bizarre file. Let's get it. Is that?

WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File. Brought to you by Family and Company Jewelers. You can get her the perfect gift at Valentine's Day Made Easy at South Jersey's Diamond Destination. Family and Company Jewelers. Shop online at familyjewelers.com. All right, in a truly strange turn of events, a man in India got into an unusual argument with his brother over their father's funeral. The older brother, who was drunk at the time,

to have half of his father's body, making the situation even more absurd. You don't routinely split the body with people attending a funeral? This all began when 84-year-old Dayani Singh Ghosh passed away after a prolonged illness. His younger son, Dajraz, had a

had been taking care of him during his final days and was prepared to carry out his last rites. However, when Kishan arrived, the situation quickly spiraled into an argument. Sibling disagreements over final rites of a deceased parent are not uncommon. It's a well-known source of tension in many families who gets to perform the rituals like the pyre or even lead the prayers. However, Kishan's demand was out of the ordinary. A little tipsy, he insisted the father's

body be split in two so that each brother could carry out separate cremations. Vertically or horizontally? It didn't indicate. Naturally, this strange demand caught the attention of the villagers who quickly called the police. When the officers arrived, they found the brothers arguing intensely. Kashan, still drunk, wasn't backing down. It took several hours of negotiations and

and persuasion by the police, but eventually they managed to convince him to leave the scene, and this allowed Desjardins to proceed with the cremation, fulfilling his father's final wishes. Steve, that was a ridiculous question you just asked, but it was also not so ridiculous. No, you have to make a decision. I get the nether regions, and you get the head and the heart?

and all that? I get the ass. What's this all about? You at least want a piece of the face. The only way to do that is vertically. I think vertically would be the way to go. The fair way to go. Yeah. The aesthetically correct way. Yep, yep.

Thieves have poached about 100,000 eggs from the back of a distribution trailer, authorities in Pennsylvania said. The theft occurred around 8.40 p.m. Saturday. That was the driver's lunch. At Pete and Jerry's Organics in Greencastle, the eggs are worth about $40,000. Yeah, wow. State police did not have additional details Tuesday and said the incident was under investigation. The egg supplier said in a statement, Pete and Jerry's is aware...

A recent incident in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and we actively are working with law enforcement to investigate. We take this matter seriously and are committed to resolving as quickly as possible. They can't comment at this point. In the last year, the average price of a dozen eggs in the United States jumped 50%, so they got a nice haul. They say in many cases, a lot of them are being sent to shell companies. Ah.

Come on. So every egg joke now will be that and it'll replace the utter catastrophe for cows. All right. In Florida, a man in a Dalmatian onesie escaped Florida highway troopers in Pasco County with one hand cuffed after a traffic stop before they caught up with him the following day. He got away for a little while.

Florida Highway Patrol say they attempted to pull over a reckless driver later identified as Dylan Devereaux just after midnight. The vehicle took off at a high rate of speed, stopping once to drop off a passenger before speeding off again. The vehicle eventually crashed into a tree with Devereaux bailing from the car before troopers tased him to the ground.

Troopers say that Devereaux began fighting the troopers in the road, pushing and struggling with them on the ground and attempting to flee. So the suspect got away with one hand cuffed. It's pretty amazing. Sprinted towards his residence. The trooper observed him run into the forest and waited for backup.

While backup arrived, a canine was deployed and the dog led law enforcement to the home where they met his girlfriend. The trooper said that she told them she did not want anyone in the home, including her boyfriend, because there are drugs in the home and she doesn't want to go to jail. Listen, there are a ton of drugs in here. I don't want any police walking around. So they got an arrest warrant and police returned to the home the next morning.

detaining Devereaux and they booked him and he is in jail. I mean, could it get any more embarrassing being arrested in a Dalmatian onesie? Yeah, there's a picture of him with his hands cut behind his back in that onesie. It's great. A Minnesota senator...

Is proposing reversing a law put in effect last year that banned the consumption of nuisance beavers in Minnesota. So you can't eat like a dead roadkill, a beaver roadkill? Or even one that you trapped yourself. So under state law, homeowners are allowed to trap or kill beavers that are causing damage to their property. However, you are not allowed to poison the animals and you must notify a conservation officer if you kill a beaver.

Beavers can be a nuisance when populations become too large, cutting down trees and flooding areas with dams. DNR notes that this single beaver can cut down hundreds of trees each year. Minnesota also has beaver trapping season that runs through the winter months. So eating nuisance beavers was legal until the law was changed last year as part of an environmental omnibus bill. Damn! Nice beaver. The

change was questioned by Senator Steve Green, who couldn't understand it. Senator Fong Hodge indicated that there were concerns about the potential for disease or parasite contraction from eating a rodent and a lack of research on the safety of eating beavers.

So Senator Green said, I'm still not sure why it's in the bill. I've eaten my share of beavers. He said, I can tell you that even though I personally don't go out and trap beavers to eat them, I have eaten them and it's pretty good. He said.

But it's a rodent, and I have a hard time getting past that. But I don't know a lot of people that do consume beaver, and I think it's a little problematic that we're making it a crime. Responding to questions on how to enforce law, Senator Hodge said lawmakers would leave it up to residents and the honor system. Yeah, because how are you going to find out if someone's, you know...

Your neighbor's going to, no pun intended, write you out for eating a beaver? It's worth noting the ban strangely only appears to apply to nuisance beavers. Beavers trapped otherwise are still fair game. So, here's the question. What do beavers taste like? YouTube channel Mountain Me Outdoors has a video where he tries a beaver for the first time, seasoned and cooked a tenderloin from a beaver on the grill. The channel creator compared it in look and taste to a beefsteak,

While one of his family members described it as really good beef and another family member compared it to venison. So beavers good eating? I guess beavers good eating. All right. All right. And there you go. That's what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. Let us take a break. When we return, we are so looking forward to having our next guest in. Our buddy Adam Farrar is going to be at Helium Comedy Club tonight and I'm sorry. Yeah, tonight, tomorrow and Saturday.

So we'll get Adam in. We'll chat. We got a lot to get to. So stay with us. We'll be back in just a moment.

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.

We'll get a quick BirdBot update. Steve, you've got his location. So she is just outside Helen and the BirdBot crew and BirdBot himself are just outside of Wyethville, Virginia, approximately 390 miles south.

from here and you can tell where they are because they're surrounded by about 4,500 churches. Oh, really? A listener pointed out that they will be driving relatively close to Philadelphia, Tennessee. They are heading towards Chambersburg, Tennessee. So if they want to make any pit stops, maybe they could swing by Philadelphia, Tennessee on their way down. But we've determined that there's not really much there, right? There is, I believe, a subway station.

That is the home headquarters of Amazon. Not an underground mass transit system. There's a hole. No, no, no. Just like an actual Subway sandwich. Subway restaurant. And they do have a Sunoco there, Kath. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Well, listen, we're keeping an eye on Bird Bot. And obviously the goal is to get him on TV tomorrow morning with Fox 29 down there. And then Helen supposedly is going to take him to hang out with Jelly Roll. And who was the other one? Chris Stapleton. Yeah. So we'll see.

how all that goes and how the rest of the weekend, uh, pairs out. But nonetheless, you got stuff to do here in town, in Philadelphia, and you should be going to helium comedy club either tonight, tomorrow or Saturday night, because our very good friend is going to be there and he's right here in our studio. Adam Ferrari. So nice to see you guys again. I just found out there's a, a Philadelphia, Tennessee. I had no idea. Yeah. Apparently there are Philadelphia's all over the place. Really? Yeah. When, uh,

The birds were last in the Super Bowl. Casey took a road trip to Phoenix. I remember that. I was texting you. Yeah, I remember that. And stopped at a variety of Philadelphia's on the way. Yeah, in fact, Philadelphia, Tennessee was one of the routes that we were looking to take. But it just didn't work out for where we wanted to go along the way. It would have been a bit of a detour. The best was the one Philadelphia that we stopped at. I don't know if you guys remember this or not, but like...

It was like, I think it was a postage stamp. That's how big Philadelphia was. And as we're stopping at the Philadelphia sign, this guy comes walking up and I'm like, oh, God. Oh, that was in Illinois. That was in Illinois, right? And this guy, I'm like checking. I'm like, does he have a shotgun? Like, what's going on here? Are we on his property? He listens to the show. That's great. That's freaky. Yeah.

That's great. All your years of traveling out on the road, you must have, I mean, I guarantee you found yourself in some areas where you're like, I'm not getting out of here alive. This is where the sources land. I'm getting out of here because some life form is going to look in my ass. No earth time has passed, but my ass is wet and I feel guilty. I'm not feeling like that. Yes. But I took you guys. I took you guys. I got you at a point and a half. You opened up at a point and a half. I took the birds. Oh.

I want to see what you do. Because last time, they had a grease the poles. And someone ate horse crap. I saw that video. Yes, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, all right, if you guys win again. Look, I've been drunk. And I've been excited. But I never went up to a horse like, you finished with that? I need to celebrate. And the guy's explanation was that there was a lot of hay and like there was organic matter. Oh, God. Mm-mm.

Not so much. They're just saying, listen, some are cautiously optimistic. There's a general good vibe. But in New Orleans, they're raising the issue that those old lamp posts and things are not ready for human weight. They're going to topple. No, they're not ready for it.

The city is underwater. What are you kidding me? The water table, it's below sea level. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not ready for anything, especially you guys. So, Adam, you're playing shows in a town that is as hyped up as it can possibly be. Have you been in this scenario before where you've been in a Super Bowl city? I played the Chicago Improv when the Bulls three-peated. Oh.

Oh, wow. Yeah. And I was like, oh, please flip my car first. And I, oh, I was at, I was at the, uh, uh, the comedy works in Denver, in Larimer Square in Denver and the Avalanche one. And between shows we're out there and they flooded Larimer Square. I mean, it was cops on horseback. Yeah. So they had to disperse the crowd. So they, uh, the second show I went downstairs cause we had the late show and, uh,

The crowd is still upstairs. And all of a sudden, I see people just like, I'm doing well. And they start laughing, just holding their eyes and laughing. And I'm like, I'm a god. I have to use this power for good. I didn't know. They tear gassed everybody to get rid of people.

And the tear gas came. We had to evacuate. You're kidding. No, I thought this is what kind of comic I am. Look at what I can do to them. Yeah, right. Look at the joy I'm bringing. They're crying with laughter. Yeah. And I signed canisters. Oh, fuck.

You impressed me as the kind of person who's not going to run towards a crowd of people. No. No, yeah, yeah. No, but believe me, the fireman I played on TV, make-believe. They turned off, cut, the fire got turned on. Right, right, yeah, yeah. Tear gas, that's out of control. Yeah, tear gas in Denver. So yeah, that was wild. Uh,

Speaking of you being an actor, Steve was talking off air about you've been popping up in a lot of stuff lately. You just did? What did you do? You did Elspeth, right? Elspeth, yeah. I just got turned on to that show. I love it. First of all, thank you for getting the name right. 20 minutes on the phone with my mother. Because it shoots into your eyes. What? Elizabeth? Send me a tape, right? Yeah. So then my...

She calls my brother. My brother calls me like, are you working with Queen Elizabeth? She's dead. What the hell are you doing? No, never mind. Then my niece texted me. Are you on the crown? So that's the way that works. So I was shooting that in New York and I get a text from my buddy. My wife's name is Alex. If Alex needs a place to stay, she can come here. And I'm like, well, we did have a disagreement before I left. I didn't think it was that bad. Right. And how the hell do you know? The fires broke out.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I was on set. No clue. While you're on set. So as soon as I called my wife and she was put, I go, what are you doing? I didn't want to bother you at work. Honey, calling me and saying, where's the extension cord? All right. That's bothering. Yeah. You know, flames marching towards the house is something we need. So she was already. What was your proximity level to what was around you? Six blocks. Six blocks. Oh.

Oh, man. Wow. I'm on 17th in Santa Monica. They evacuated from 11...

to the ocean. So you've been out, I assume, since... Yeah. I mean, everyone who has been an on-the-scene person recounting what they see says, as much as you think it's overwhelming, it doesn't even begin to describe it. No, terrifying. And so I got friends at L.A. County Fire, so I said, what do we do? Should we just get her out now? And she was already packing stuff. Thank God she's smarter than me. She's got, like, the passports. I didn't think of that. I just get the dogs. Right.

So I said, go into my office, open up the closet. My albums are in there. I'm not taking your albums. No, not all of them. Just find the Parliament Funkadelic Mothership Connection album. Reach in there. There's an envelope. There's cash in here. Are you gambling? I said, we'll fight later. Paper burns. Get in the car. Get in the car. I

I was wondering why you were dancing a little bit when we played the Bird Bot jingle because that's Flashlight from P-Funk. Yeah, I'm a Funkateer from way back. Gentlemen, if I could say something, make my funk to P-Funk because I want us to get funked up. Oh, yeah. I love it, man. Adam, my cousin and her husband, they lost their house. They live in the Palisades and she was in Santa Monica when the fire started breaking out and so she was in a

building that had a north-facing window. It was a huge pane window. And she said, and you know, they've had evacuations before. They've had fires before, obviously. She said she's never seen anything like this. The way that the fires moved, like downhill as opposed to going uphill, was something like she'd never seen before. And it all happened so fast. And so they got their passports.

She got her favorite earrings. She got her favorite pillow and blanket, and that was it, and they had no time to go back. It's a wild thing, too. You're basically asked to sum up the most important things in your life, memory-wise, in five minutes. And, you know, it's something we really don't ponder because we're normally not in a situation like that. Given your druthers, what makes the top five besides the... The wife to dog. Get her out. Yeah, yeah. Wife to dog. Cash land.

around. Yeah. That was it. And if something's going to burn, I hope it's the mortgage. I'd like to leave the mortgage out. What's your most collectible? Because you're, you don't have any, you're not storing any cars. You know what I mean? I got that old Buick. Right, right. I figured I was going to lose, and I got a 1990 LS400. Okay. It's the first year Lexus came out with the big sedan. Yeah. And I murdered it all out. So it's all black.

It's riding on 18s. I didn't cut the springs because I didn't want to screw up the ride, but I smoked out the windows and I drive around like the Yakuza. I love that. So I'm like, I'm going to lose that car. As long as the wife is safe and the dogs are safe. This was my wedding ring. My mother gave my father this ring when they got engaged. So I wear that. When my dad died, I'm like, he ain't going to need this.

You're chewing it off his finger. I'm just chewing it off. I miss you. Sorry about that. So I got that. But like you said, because I went through it and I'm like, as long as the wife and the dogs are out,

Everything else can be... They're just possessions. I got old tour shirts. I got stuff. I got pictures of me. I got pictures of me and Buddy Hackett. I got old stuff. I got old that stuff. But if it goes, it goes. Obviously, you're in proximity and know people who lost a lot. What is the general consensus? Because...

General consensus? Put your hand on a button. Here it comes. Okay. Motherfucker!

Are people going to leave? I got a couple of friends that lost their houses. And this is, we're going to rebuild. Okay. Okay. You know, I got lucky because I called, like I said, it was six blocks from it. So I'm still in New York and I called my buddy just to go by. Because once the fires, then you heard about the looting. Yes. Because when you're down, they start kicking you. Yeah. So I called my buddy and he lives in a bad neighborhood. And the reason it's a bad neighborhood is because...

He lives there. So I said, do me a favor. Go by my house. Just do a drive by the house. He goes, I got you, dog. I heard the gun rack. I'm like, just go by and see stuff.

He drives by the house, right? And he calls me up. He goes, yeah, it's good, man. You're fine. There's a lot of cops. I had to get out of there. But there's a lot of cops in the neighborhood. And the National Guard is on San Vicente. San Vicente is the big thoroughfare. Right. And above that was the Riviera golf course. And one fire guy said, that's what saved me because there's nothing for the fire to eat. Right. Yes. Yeah. There were shots of some houses that had very lush houses.

around. And that holds the water. And that was a firewall. Yes, that's what, well, also what happened was we had a lot of rain. My doors, I got mahogany doors, they're still warped. So that brought the vegetation back quicker and they didn't do the control burns. And all of a sudden, here we go.

Here we go. So the rain came at the wrong time, really. It came before. We need it after. Yeah, we need it after. And we're beholden to the wind because the wind was, I needed northwest wind. Yeah. So I'm like, I got, I'm betting on the wind now. I took the Eagles when it came out at a point and a half and I got to bet on the wind. Yeah.

Man, I want to ask you about the Eagles and the point and a half. Because, listen, I'm confident in this team. It is the best team in football. Right. But a one and a half point, I mean, that is the only thing that gives me pause. Because? Because they want us to bet the birds. Of course they do. Yeah. Because everyone's going to take Kansas City. So they want you to bet the birds. And if you win by a field goal, I'm a happy man. I still have a bookie. Wow. Yeah, you mentioned.

You mentioned this. Yeah, I still have a book. How long is this? Is this one of the classic? I don't even know if he's a good book. He's just the longest relationship I've ever had in my life. So what is that process? Does he have sort of clearance to place bets, you know, without you confirming? No, because you can bet without money. You can, you know, like. I don't know how it works. I'll tell you. I'm more into prostitution. It's just. I'm more into prostitution. Yeah.

It's a $500 cap. Okay. It's a cap. So if you hit five, you get paid out. If you lose five, you pay in. All right. So everything is all paper. But I remember I called him up and I said, give me the Jets and the Overs. He goes, okay, it's 42. I go, it's 40. What are you doing?

I go, are you shaving points? He's like, listen, I'm getting older. I don't have any health care. I got to think about it. I said, what? I said, give me the Vegas line. I'll buy you a tube of Bengay, Pete. Don't use my name on an open line. Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete. He said, that's our policy. I go, what policy? You're a

criminal. That's hilarious. Your last show was on Saturday at 9. When did you fly home? On a train. I got my apartment in New York. On a train back to New York because I still got my New York apartment. Okay. Uh...

I got to go see my manager for a minute. A little bit of business. I'll probably end up going to the comedy cellar. They got a thing. I'll watch it at the cellar or maybe I'll go to my brother's house. But, you know, I took an early train. I took the train down. I love the train. Yeah. I took the train down. I was in the quiet car, but I had broccoli. Yeah.

So it was horrendous. Oh, no. Yes. And I was going to go. It was horrendous. Like to the point where someone got up and looked around. So I had to get up and look around because I didn't want to be the one. Right. And you guys didn't help with the wings. So we get down to Trenton. I get out and the doors open. I walk out. I go, I think we hit an animal.

Terrible. Yeah, we were just talking about the etiquette of the passengers on a flight and what you do and whether you put your seat back, whether you, you know, the things that you do that can agitate your co-passengers. So are you a good...

when it comes to air travel? Are you a demanding passenger? No, I just, I never do this, but I want to do this when there's crying babies and kids. If you're making an effort, that's fine. That's everything. As long as I hear shh, shh, after rah, shh. If I don't hear shh, I'm getting up. I'm like, listen, what a lovely family. Does my family bother yours? No, because yours is bothering me. I didn't say, especially if my wife is there. There was a woman behind me coming in singing.

She had the airport. I thought there was a special needs child behind me. It was just sounds coming. I said, are you kidding me? Are you comforting? Have you suffered a head wound? It wasn't even. I was like, I don't understand it. That and people that walk around shorts and they take their shoes off. And this ain't your living room. That was one of the big things. And then they'll stick them up on, I guess, the wall of the. Yeah. Yeah. Between years. And it's no, no, no, no. Can't do that. I'm like, hey, hammertoe. Put something on. I'm not looking at this. Yeah.

And I'm a window guy. I'm a window guy because I don't want, you too? I don't want to be beholden to somebody's bladder. Yeah. And I want to control the light. Like, now you will live in darkness because you have offended me. So Kathy and I are aisle people, formerly window people because of that. I want to control you. Yeah, yeah. Me and Casey and Nick are window guys. I'm a window guy, yeah. Are you a plain napper? I'm a napper.

Oh, I can sleep on a hook. Yeah. Wow. I've been doing this so long because that's why I'm a window guy. And I know the jacket. I have this puffy jacket that crunches up. Is that your pillow? That's my pillow. You don't have a neck? No, I'm not going to walk around like I was in a traffic accident. They walked

through the airport with them on. I'm like, well, I plan on sleeping later. I said, I plan on sitting down and I have a school strap to my ass. That's not uncomfortable. No, they're not comfortable at all. There's one at Hammock or Schlemmer that looks like, you look like a superhero villain with a zipper and a mask. Have you seen the one? It looks like the head. Can we...

It looks like the head of a gray penis. It looks like an old man. Now it has two eyes. Like, no, my penis can read. It's just...

Have you seen the one that's actually, it's actually, you stick your head. It almost looks like a bizarre, you know, a trap for animals. Yeah. You stick your head in and you can put your arms in it. So you put it on the tray in front of you. Right. Yeah. And why don't you just put Eddie from Iron Maiden on there? Because you're laying like this. Yeah. But I can't use a pillow. Yeah, that's it. Look at that. I mean, come on. Only $80, guys. Yeah.

$80 and you look like that. Here's the scary thing. Like you've been beheaded. It's out of stock. We're looking at a thing online. Oh, my God. I can't. I can't. You know what it is? I can't carry any more stuff. I have it down to a science. I'm not checking a bag. I never check a bag. You don't check...

I used to be the guy. It was a point of pride that I'm not checking anything and now I check everything. I'm not going to give them control. I never checked a bag. Then when I got married, I never not checked a bag until someone stole one of my wife's shoes. I bought her the shoes. What's the shoes with the red bottom? Oh, yeah. Louboutins. Whatever they are because sex in the city. She couldn't walk into a Walmart. She couldn't buy sneakers this broad.

They took the shoes out of the bag? So she's got those bags. They took one. Took one Louboutin? We're looking for a one-legged guy. A guy with one left leg. What does that do? Pisses her off. You know what it did? Made me happy because she's never checked the bag again. Wow. Those pants are big.

I told you. I try not to check either, but I hate having too much stuff. If I get to a point where I'm carrying two bags and it's stuffed with my things, forget it. Then I'm checking. I don't want the review process. I don't want the, I'm sorry, this is... I don't want that. Besides that, it doesn't matter. We're all going to get there in a couple extra minutes. My record is good for not having luggage lost, so I go with it. I check it.

I'm not checking. I just want, I don't want to wait. I don't want to wait. Yeah. I don't want to give anybody power. I just, that's it. I know if it don't fit in this bag, forget it. I've gone to places, got to buy underwear. Why? No room in the bag. That's why winter, had to pack this, no room, so I would land in a city and go buy underwear. The most, well, now he's out of his mind and we now know a convicted sex felon, but Ron Jeremy, who used to be on the show. I'm stunned. Yeah.

he would come literally to the show with his luggage, which was like a CVS bag with some shirts and stuff and mouthwash. That was his luggage. His go-anywhere luggage? His go-anywhere luggage. It was crazy. Okay. And that's the least of his offenses. That's a little... Yeah. Yeah.

We have since found out. That was the least of the problem. So usually when we have you on, we talk about cars and stuff. And I wanted to ask you about something because I saw it on Instagram this week. And then I did a little bit of a Google search. And it doesn't look like it's true. But if it is true, it looks really cool. But the Internet told me or at least Instagram told me that the Blazer K5 was coming back.

And I wasn't. I don't know. Okay. Chevy hasn't called. Okay. I know that you know things. I'll tell you this. What really annoyed me was the Maverick came back and now it's a pickup. Yeah. Remember the little Maverick? Yes, the Maverick, yeah. What are you doing? You know? And the Mustang, you know, when they brought back, you know, the Mach-E, they gave it the Mustang. Yeah. Because they went. But she just called it the Maverick. I didn't know the Maverick came back. It's a pickup. Yeah.

Why would you do that? Because that was just a sedan. No, it was a little compact car. It was like a little runaround. Yeah, it was like the...

Maverick and then it was the Comet was the system. I had a Comet. You had a Comet? Yeah, it was my second car in college. Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you know, a little too... I mean, one of them had a 302 in it, the Mavericks one. I remember I got pulled over because it was such a piece of crap that the windshield was a nightmare. And I had drawn, and the lines were good, a tank sight on the windshield. Good for you.

And apparently you're not allowed to... No. You're not allowed to decorate your windshield. No, you got... My buddy had a Maverick. We'd beat that thing to death. Yeah, my friend had a Maverick. With a little six cylinder. You're not going anywhere. Yeah. But did you have the grabber hood? The two... Yeah. Yeah, the grabber hood? Yep, absolutely. Yeah, it was great. This guy's got a gun sight on his windshield. Pull him over. He thinks he's Batman, this idiot. No, I... Yeah, that's the whole thing. But yeah, you need a car. You need like a... Because I saw in your office you got the...

I think it was a 56 Chrysler, the Green Lantern, the Green Hornet car. The Green Hornet car, which I loved. Great. So the Green Hornet car, that was my impetus to get a 300C when they came because it looked like that. All my cars are based on...

on movies and TV shows are like. My all-time favorite fictional car is the Mach 5. Yeah. And Steve was telling me that there's people that will make those for you. Have you ever driven a Mach 5? I've driven the fiberglass. Yeah. It's just a tub. Yeah, yeah. It's like...

I was surprised to learn that they were selling, and I was pointing this out to Preston, it was only 300 horsepower. Yeah. Yeah. So it's... You really... Look, you're never going to get... I was just... They're bringing back the Mustang, the GT350. It's gorgeous. Right. It's sort of Barrett-Jackson. Aaron Shelby's a friend. The 300, the Shelby GT is gorgeous. You're friends with the... How cool is that? That is incredibly cool. I play the Dallas Improv. He's like, you want to come by and see the private collection? Yes, I do. Oh, my God. Yeah. It was...

It was beautiful. So they brought back the GT350, which I love. I love the GT350 because it was just enough. What do you think of, because it has now fallen into the ranks of whenever it's on, I'm going to sit there and watch, I know this for the rest of the world, Ford versus Ferrari. Yeah. I read the book. It was great. Yeah. I read the script too. Were you happy with the movie? I was. It's fun. The other one is you get a car guy in a race car and he's getting sick. I was like, hmm.

Okay. I don't think, you know, that's it. Okay. Okay. For what it was, it was, but it was just to hear the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because my father bought me the model. I think I told this story on Top Gear. He brought me the GT40 model and he told me the story because Ferrari was supposed to make a deal with Ford and Enzo pulled out and the deuce. Ford. Yeah. Henry Ford. Henry Ford's son. Yeah.

They called him the deuce. The deuce. He pulled out and pissed him off. And the deuce went, go win this car. And my father said, go win Le Mans. And my father said, you know what the lesson is? Don't get manned. Get even. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. So, I had that model. So, yeah. So, I was looking forward to that movie coming out. The Carroll Shelby looks good if you're a car guy. And this is Carroll's son? This is Carroll's grandson. Yeah. Okay. Aaron. Sweet man. Wow.

So I got... I saw him again at Barrett. Because we see each other when we go to these events. Barrett is the big... Barrett Jackson. Yeah. Big auction. The GT350 is back. Because what they did is they had the GT500, the GT350, which I got to drive the last...

generation of it. And then Ford made the Mach 1. So they Frankensteined the GT50. They took the head off, they took the rear end off, and they weren't making it anymore. That's pretty wild. Then the Mach 1 didn't sell, and they said, I don't know, we'll bring this back. If you're just jumping in, Adam Ferrara is here. He's going to be at the Helium Comedy Club tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday. Your podcast, you always have a lot of great guests on there. Anybody coming up you want to mention? It's all a blur. Who do I got coming up? I got to think, who do I got coming up?

uh it's it's all that tear gas i gotta think the producer sends me an email like oh wow look at it so uh but check it out it's called the adam for our podcast 30 minutes you'll never get back uh elsbeth uh i think it's coming out the end of march and i was in the season finale of ncis so your producer will grab the guest you don't say hey i'd like to get abc oh no i've got a friend of mine i just i just don't know who's on this because we record them like i record like six or seven of them and he just

puts them out. Who's blown you away recently that you had it and they far exceeded what you were hoping for? Oh, I know who I got coming up. I got the eyeball killer in Texas. There's a detective named John. His last name escapes me, but he caught the eyeball killer. And the eyeball killer is, and I'm usually up on this stuff. This one alluded me. I'm guessing something with the eyes. I have to read the brief. Okay. Yeah. That's cool. Either that or he's a seeing eye killer. So the dog, he's going to blame the dog.

But we know better. It was him. There's broken pencils all over the place, Your Honor. Oh, my God. The eyeball killer. I know that's coming up because that caught my attention. We recorded a bunch of them before the

the flyer now. Okay. So we do them in blocks, so my apologies. No, no, it's all good. I was just curious because you've definitely had some great guests in the past. You've been playing guitar lately? I know that that's a passion of yours, you know? Yeah, you blew us away when you played here. Actually, my friend Tom Tran, who's a comic and a really good guitarist,

He got a call from a company to design a guitar. So actually, he was in the green room with me. If you go on my Instagram, he's playing the Rocky theme in the green room at a comedy club. Yeah. There he is. That's Tommy. So I'm playing with ideas of how he can design a guitar. And he showed me what he designed. It's awful. It's awful.

Oh, really? He even said, I took everything I like because he likes Prince, so he had the Prince Telecaster, but then he had the Richie Sambora neck with the stars. Remember the Stratocaster? He had the stars on it. And then he had a Dean head on it. I'm like, this is... So it's a real Frankenstein. He didn't make it. He just mocked it up. I go, burn that. What, are you kidding me?

If you make that, start playing the drums because that is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I want an F, Paul. I said, yeah, we all know what the F is going to stand for. Get rid of that. Hey, I watched that Norman's Rare Guitar documentary on Netflix. Have you been there? I have not. Okay. Tell me, tell me. It's just this guitar store in LA. Yeah. This guy, watched the documentary because it just basically started selling and buying rare guitars out of his apartment and then it just became so big and like it is like,

Yeah. I mean, you know who, like, Joe Bonamassa is, right? Yeah, yeah. Like, you walk into the store and he'll just be there, right? So, like, and they were talking about when eventually Norman has to retire or does retire, like, who's going to take this over? Yeah, yeah. And Norman's wife is like, Joe Bonamassa would have to be the guy who ends up, like, running this place. But, like...

Watch the documentary. It's really, really great. That's Joe Walsh? Yeah. Oh, I had Lucy Walsh on. I had his daughter on. Anybody and everybody that goes through L.A. stops into Norman's Rare Guitars.

Oh, I have this. Did you see the Smithsonian? It was done by Smithsonian Channel. No. It was Eddie. It was Eddie Van Halen. No. Oh, he did. Was it a limited series or was it a one-off? I think it was a one-off. He did how he made the guitar. The harmonic sign. The clavicle. Frankenstrap. Yeah, yeah. So you've seen that? And the best line in that is right before Les Paul died, he said he was on the phone with Eddie. And he's like, Eddie kind of knew this was it. And then Les Paul just said to him, eh.

You, me, and Leo Fender are the only ones that know how to make a guitar. Wow. And I did. And that was the last thing. That's amazing. Do you have any...

I mean... I know. I have a Clapton Strat. Okay. My buddy actually bought me a Clapton Strat because I helped him punch up a script. Okay. And he sold it. He's like, yeah. Great. Wow. One that Eric played or... No, no. It's the Clapton Strat series. It's an Olympic white Stratocaster with the fender lace pickups and it was a series he did. Did you play in a band at all? Yeah, I played in a bar band. Okay. It was terrible. I showed up for rehearsal and there was a lot of cocaine. I'm like, we're not that good. We're not...

We're not cocaine good. We're not cocaine good. Are you kidding? We're a cover band. We play Born to be Wild twice. We know 11 songs. What are you doing? It's funny you mention that because my brother years ago saw Ace Frehley in Comac, Long Island, at a venue, as I know you're well aware of. And he would take, he would snort coke and he had an oxygen tank.

on the stage and would then take a hit of oxygen after snorting coke. This is right on the stage in some dive place in Comac. Ace Frehley, yeah. What was the oxygen for? I guess it made... It's a coke enhancer. Is that what it is? Like an Ethan Hintze. Really? Yeah. Blue Velvet? How do you know? Totally. Mommy. Wait a minute. Hold it. Hold it. You think...

cocaine and oxygen. See, if you got to travel with props, you know, no one likes a prop cup. I didn't want to check a bag. You're coming with cocaine and oxygen? Thanks. But I think this is crazy. He's really going to great lengths to get that bump.

Yeah. It's amazing. When cocaine's not enough. Not enough. Yeah. It's not working. But I would go see. There's a great book. I just finished the Stephen Davis book, Hammer to God's a new Zeppelin book. Oh, yeah. And the new documentary is out. Yeah. I was going to go in New York. It's only limited edition. I want to see it in IMAX. Yeah, we're doing it here in IMAX. Did you watch, speaking of biographies and stuff like that, I read Michael McDonald's not that long ago. Phenomenal. Yeah.

Paul Reiser helped him write it. Yes, he gave him the idea to do it, talked him into doing it, and then helped him write it. Are we talking about the Yacht Rock documentary? No, no, no. The Michael McDonald's autobiography. The Fool Believes. That's on my list. And Paul Reiser encouraged him to do it and helped him write it. It's excellent. And then the yacht, I don't know if you've seen the Yacht Rock

documentary. No, that one's great. That's good? All right. Steely Dan, Boz Skaggs, Mike, but you see how much the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald. Kenny Loggins. Yeah, Kenny Loggins. It's all interwoven. The Doobie Brothers book is good too. Hold on, I got it on Audible. Yes. When I hear the lady singing on the plane, I go, oh my God.

Let me listen to Pat Simmons telling me how the drama, too much, too much. Okay. All right. Well, you got some material to read. So listen, we want to urge you to go see our buddy Adam.

And we've had some great performances so far. Yeah, and it's been a nice selection of approaches. Yeah, the Academy of Vocal Arts yesterday did an operatic version. Snack time. Snack time with definitely a decided choice.

kind of Mardi Gras type of feel to it. Lizzy Hale with a straight up sort of rock. Yep, acapella rock and then G Love with his own brand of soul and rap and everything. It was really, really cool and we are very stoked these guys came in this morning. They are celebrating their 45th anniversary tour. They've got a gig coming up at the Met on Saturday, May 17th. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the Hooters. Yeah!

Rob and Eric and Dave are here. Once again, we last saw them at the Camp Out for Hunger. I have to say, out of the gate. So that Camp Out for Hunger performance, and we were all there. We know you guys are great. We love you guys.

To be there and not to say that I needed a reminder, but man, you just were phenomenal. And it kept getting more and more. And to have the sounds that are nostalgic and all the new stuff as well kick in and you could just see people, they were in that euphoria, which I'm sure you as artists...

you're looking forward to. And it was just an amazing synthesis of everything. It will go down as one of the great memories of my life. You guys performing at the campout. It was sensational. We had a great night. And watching Pierre have a seizure always helps.

Well, there was no game plan. It was just go in and you guys... You said, oh, just a bunch of art. Adam Wiener, Don McCluskey, whoever, some singers. And you said, well, just jam. Okay. Which is how we all started. We all... We did...

everyone starts by jamming, but then when you're on the stage, it's like, what are we going to do? And Adam pulled out some songs, fortunately. It was great. We were winging it, though. It was totally spontaneous. Preston played drums? Well, Dave. Dave goes, here, get up and play. I'm like, what are we playing? He's like, I don't know. We were like the dead you and I. It was great. It was awesome, man. It was so much fun. It was excellent. Uh,

And by the way, Rob brought in not only the melodica, which we heard at the beginning there, but a very sexy looking accordion with you. Oh, yeah. Well, that's a... What's his name, Rob? I know, right? First time ever those words have been said. Sexy accordion. That's a band.

name. Sexy accordion. Sexy accordion player. No, but that is a fancy looking accordion. Well, I work with the Hohner company. We do a lot overseas, especially in Germany. That's become our kind of home away from home. Hohner makes the melodicas and these accordions

And along the way, I said, let's do something with the colors and make it just kind of rock and roll. So they did this custom work. And I was one of the first guys to do this. And now everyone's jumping on it. Oh, that's cool. That looks great. Go speed away. Yeah, I work with some people over there. We're really having fun. Well, to illustrate what multi-instrumentalists do,

A lot of you guys are. Dave, I'm not familiar if you're a multi-instrumentalist. A little bit of trumpet. Percussion, because I was looking up just for the hell of it. I popped in and I was thinking about this, Eric, because we had you by here one year at the Possum Bowl to sing One of Us, which is a song you wrote for Joan Osborne, along with Joan Osborne.

And I pulled up the Wikipedia page for one of us. Because someone had told me recently that you may have played Mandolin on the song St. Teresa, which is a great tune. And then I pulled up the rest of the session. And Rob, did you play drums on one of us? I did. I had no idea. A number one song. Yeah. Amazing. So what led to them choosing you to be the drummer for that song? Good question. He chose himself.

He chose himself. They were drinking. They tried to beat the track too. It had the magic. It just shows that moment. If you capture a moment, it's hard to capture it again. Rob nailed it. The quick story too is we were recording the album in a house up in northern New York by a reservoir. We set up a...

Like Big Pink was... This was Big Blue. Whoever, I guess Rick Chertoff, the producer, and maybe Joan, they set up a... It was a little, almost like a lodge kind of house on this reservoir. And we recorded the album in this house. So in the main living room was drums, amps, whatever. We were just literally sitting around one afternoon. I sat at the drums. I'm not a drummer. But I found that I can play that beat anyway. And Eric started playing guitar, and I started playing the drums. They said, let's roll tape. Yeah.

One take, baby. One take? I barely made it through the take. My hands were shaking. You too. But it's amazing. Yeah, anyway, we got lucky. But I had Eric and Mark Egan played bass. I mean, it was like killer players. And Joan Singh. We pretty much cut that basic track live. We were talking to another musician the other day.

It was Lizzy, Lizzy Hale, who we had on yesterday. And Steve had asked a question about, you know, because they're working on new music. And at some point, you can kind of overproduce if you're not careful. You'll hear the track and, oh, this needs that or this needs that or we need to recut that particular one. But speaking of the one take, I mean, you have to be pretty confident in that one take and just go, good enough. Or is it the fact that the studio costs a ton of money? No, no, we...

Literally, we just, I don't know, Eric, you can show. We were sitting around. I think you know. You know, I remember Rob said, give me a shot. Because we kept cutting it. We'd done it, tried it a couple times. And it was okay, but it was like...

you know, this song deserves better. Just something special. And Rob just said, put me in. That's me. Okay. It puts the fear of God in me on every record. Yeah, right? Yes, that you can be easily traded out. Just like that. The keyboard player jumps in and says, ah, I can do it. I think I got one or two beats and fortunately that was one of them. You did very well.

Rob, we were talking on The Green Room a little bit about Germany and how you guys have played there so many times over the years. And you alluded to that when you were talking about the accordion. And the fact that you guys have played some heavy metal festivals. So tell the story about heavy metal and Ozzy that you were sharing a little bit of. Well, there's a big one called, that was actually in Sweden. And we've done them in Germany as well. We play with Deep Purple and all these different groups. And one was, it's called Sweden Rock.

Multiple stages, three, four days. Massive festival. And we were on, there's a Motorhead stage. They all have names. Oh, Jesus. And we're on one stage. We pulled up. It was an overnight drive and we didn't know what to expect. And yeah, bringing out the accordions and mandolins, we're thinking, are we in the right place? I think someone took a wrong turn. Yeah.

But we came out and everybody rocked it and Ozzy was headlining on that stage, but we had to leave for another show, which to this day is a big regret because we wanted to hang with him. I have to ask, Eric, you obviously, wherever you go worldwide, you must be asked about your participation in the possum bowl. I've done many interviews on that show.

In many languages. We talk about when you came in, we had a bunch of... Our answer to the puppy bowl and kitten bowl was the possum bowl. So we had actual possums in there. Was it you, Nick, who placed a call? And I think Casey? Yeah, I did. And so...

Eric says, yeah, sure. And a wonderful rendition. And your heart was in it. It was just an amazing thing. And I'm like, oh, my God. And you guys are always Johnny on the spot when you're able to do this. So we have fond memories of the possible. There's a video playing. It was 12 years ago. But that's the great thing about the Hooters is that you call them, you ask them to do it, and they're like, yes. And then they come in and they do it, and they kill it.

They could play a heavy metal festival in Sweden or the Possum Bowl in our studio. It doesn't matter. They bring the same energy. You guys don't think Eric was thinking, oh, it's come to this. We've had many of those final tap moments. I think that every morning. It's the beauty of 45 years together. You know, you have some moments. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Well, like when you guys came to the camp out to play, I kind of apologized to Rob. And I'm like, I'm like, man, we thought the bar was closed.

was going to be closed while you were getting set up? You look at me and go, dude, we're a bar band. We've done this I don't know how many times. Don't even worry about it. We really are. Sometimes we're just on a bigger bar. We're in a bigger bar, but we play that way. Like Springsteen to me. You can see him at the Stone Pony. Then he's at an arena or a stadium, but it's still that... Where you came from is there. Yeah, where you came from. It's also how we play, which is old-fashioned. There's no tricks. There's no backstage pre-recorded.

auto tuned whatever there's a lot of things going on these days when you see a show it's not always live but we are so we're doing the best we can if it's a sour note it's real and it is real and it sounds great and that's why again to see the shows at the Met

To see the show Saturday, May 17th. Yes. Honestly, you know, being reminded, Preston, you know, of all that. Again, I say not that we needed to, but if you have not seen the Hooters in a while, or even if you're a diehard fan, especially in that venue, is going to be sensational. We're really excited about that. It's our first time there, and we've been talking about it for years, and the kind folks over there at Live Nation and everything, we've been throwing this idea around. They...

kindly found a date for us in the middle of May, a Saturday night, and we're so psyched. I mean, it's a big joint for us. A big version of Grendel's Lair. This will be our first time in the city, I think, in a long time. Yeah, that's true. Looking forward to it. By the way, kudos to Eric, who is wearing a misspelled Eagles hat this morning. Is that misspelled? No, it is not.

Well, to some people it's not. What are you guys going to do for the game? Individual plans? You know what you got going on? Dave? I'm flying down to Delray tomorrow. I'm going to watch it at the Hurricane. It's a Philly bar down there in Delray. Maybe Mike McDermott from Joe and Jet's Band will join me. He's a

Pensbury guy, Levittown guy, so we'll watch the Eagles. Of course, my wife will be with me. Davey's in Florida. Florida. Florida. I'll be at an undisclosed location. Me too. Hanging at home. Okay. Some friends invited us over, but I'll be here sweating it out like everybody else. No, we got this. We got this. We're winning this one. It does feel that way. You don't want to put the proverbial car before the horse, but God, the vibe is good. Yeah.

You're making us an underdog. How dare they? Well, we're dying to hear your rendition of the song. We have the Hooters. We just ran over this in the lobby. Okay. I'm prompted. Ready? Okay, David, you can have a seat. One, two, three, four. Fly, you fly, over those two big wings.

One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.

I-G-G-L-E-S, Eagles. Eric purposely missed spelling it on purpose. Oh, that was brilliant. I-G-G-L-E-S. Eagles. Eagles. I hope that's legal. I hope it's legal. Legal for the Eagles.

Hootersmusic.com to get all info and to go see the show. So with this anniversary tour, how many more dates are there going on? I mean, do you have a lot left or is this coming towards the end of the 45th anniversary? Well, the men will kick it off. That's kind of a warm-up, kick-off stressor, come on down. And then we hit the road in June.

Almost seven weeks. Going to Greece. We're going to Greece. Is this, have you been to Greece recently? No. Never. Okay. Wow. Athens. We'll see what the souvlaki is like. Yeah. Or whatever. What if it's disappointing? Oh, no. We're going to.

Whatever. Well, okay. So you've never been to Greece before. Do you have any idea how the Hooters, you know, play? We have no idea. Is that a tiny bit scary? No. Okay. No. Actually, it's a challenge and we're going to kill it. Okay.

Absolutely. Well, apparently there's fans and the promoters have been asking over the years. Other countries as well. We haven't gone east into Poland and Bulgaria. There's a whole rock scene into Eastern Europe that big festivals and we're up for it. I mean, you know, we've we've been a lot of places, but there's a lot more to go. So this is a new one. There's there's something we were talking with Adam Farrar, who was here yesterday.

He's still here. He's still here. About the Yacht Rock documentary and about Michael McDonald and all this stuff. There seems a pocket that is really lovingly nostalgic. And you guys have gone through a number of waves. And I think you're, especially with the new music that you guys have had out recently. And it's all clicking at a right time. But you guys are pros. You know this is...

It's been a long ride. You're kind of riding a wave. Absolutely. But the wave seems very robust at this point. Yes. I think we're finally starting to figure out what we're doing. It takes a while, doesn't it? We're not ready to really make our move. Yeah. Right. Right.

And I think everyone's more relaxed and just physically it's like, okay, let's get up and do the show. And it just happens every night. And we'll do, we hit it hard. We'll do four or five in a row over there. And once you get in a groove, it's just like, it's a team. I'll never forget Adam, Adam Wiener at the, at the show, you know, at the camp out show. And he turns to me and Don McCloskey turns, you know, we're all standing there and they both almost simultaneously look at me and they go, freaking live aid, man. Yeah.

They're like, yes, that was the guy. I think it was almost as nerve-wracking that year gig. Dude, Live Aid and The Wall. I was thinking about The Wall. So I was thinking about you guys, too, because not that long ago, Bohemian Rhapsody was on. And they show the scene where they're doing Live Aid. And Freddie's about ready to walk up on the stage. And you see another band coming the other way. And I think it might have been Duran Duran. These are actors playing this part. Yeah.

And it just made me think about, oh, my God, what it must have been like walking around and hobnobbing with all the artists of the time. Yeah, yeah. And how did you guys feel fitting in place, feeling out of place, a little bit of both maybe? You know, how did that feel? Yeah, Live Aid, I remember that one was just, you know, I mean, it was spectacular. I mean, all those great stars and everything. And it's like, wow, how did we get here? But I knew how we got there. Right.

I think six months later or four months later, we played Amnesty and Amnesty International, which was a giant stadium. And the difference between what I felt and that was like, oh, you know, because they knew the songs. Even though, you know, when we played in Philly, Live Aid, a lot of people knew the songs, but it was a different feeling. So, but Live Aid was...

I mean, it feels like yesterday, which is amazing. It still feels like yesterday. Coming up to the 40th anniversary. Yeah. I'm glad you brought up Amnesty because that was another big one. Big one for us. At the time, I remember like Sting and Bono got together and had Invisible Son. And some really cool. I shared a conga with Carlos Santana. Wow. It was amazing. Really? We're up there playing at the very end. I mean, amazing stuff.

Wow. We were a little more comfortable. I mean, Live Aid, we went on at 9 a.m. We were the first band to play. Yeah, two songs. Two songs, ten minutes. They push you out there and you're like, okay, go. I watched the Amnesty performance on YouTube recently and there was an attitude that we had like we belong.

You know, I was watching that one. It's like we were just, I don't know the word cocky, but we felt like, okay, we're doing this. Well, yeah. You have to be. Yeah, you progressed from that one thing. But just the notion of, I remember that whole day, that whole Live Aid day, it was just a sort of a, again, you don't ever want to make the blanket statement that you'll never see anything like it again. Yeah.

I think you can with Live Aid. I mean, Live Aid was amazing because it was not only current artists. I had coffee with David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks that day. Wow. Yeah, which was remarkable. There were like Joan Baez, who was recently in the Bob Dylan movie. I mean, just think about those kind of people. And then you'd have Duran Duran, Tom Petty.

Brian Adams, George Thurgood. It was, what a day. We're watching some of the footage on the screen here in the studio. It's amazing. Listen, you know, professionally speaking, you guys have had so many accomplishments, but like what an accomplishment that you guys are still friends after all these years. Yeah. Well, don't get carried away.

Come on. We're hanging out today, believe it or not. I just heard this from... Maybe they were talking about a team coming back to the game and all. And it's about the chemistry. It really is. It's a cliche. You can have all the talent in the world. And they were talking about football teams. Same thing with the band. You could have the most talented guys in the band, but you got to get along. We've had some changes over the years. This is the nucleus of the band with Davey. We go back to the first gig in Levittown. And I think...

Especially now, we're so grateful to still be doing this. And you learn how to get along. We're on a bus with a crew. And I was describing it to a friend one night. What's it like on the road? And I was telling him, well, we do the gig. We get on the bus. He goes, that sounds horrible. But you learn. I mean, it's like we're living in a one-bedroom, not even, a studio apartment or something. But you find your way.

And the chemistry is awesome. Well, you think about, and we've talked about this over the course of the years, because you guys have a collection of memories. It's with our show, you know, a couple decades plus. And congratulations to all the shows. But just in general, the dynamic, no one knows, you know...

But us, what has gone on here? And so that's something you can't trade in. And that is a bond that, you know, I always, we have each other's backs. And the mistake I see bands make sometimes is they don't remember that. And they split and they become contentious.

And that's, to me, that's just losing so much. Listen, we've been through all that. Yeah. We came out the other end. Yeah. No, I've been through a lot. It's a matter of trust, you know? We trust one another. I mean, we were working yesterday and I just, and I thought about this because I never used to think about it before, but

you know, who I, like Rob and Eric, you know, Rob's talking to me, the drummer talking to me about parts. Right. You know, just the way he explains to me, we have a language. Right. We have a language to ourselves, which is remarkable. And I trust him so much, which is,

And it always makes me cry. But yesterday I thought about it when I left. Yeah. Wow. It's just such a special thing that later on in years you could, you know, you appreciate. I want to enjoy it. Yeah. Enjoy every moment. Absolutely. And on stage, I'm sure you guys have nonverbal communication. Oh, always. You can look back and see it. Yeah. And you go, okay, we're doing this now. Don't bring Preston up.

I'm telling you, Preston's great. Don't bring Preston. No, he's a player. People don't know. He's a player. I think if you come to Germany, you get on stage. I'll put you up in a second. There's a carrot. Rob, you and I have gotten to know each other a little bit over the years, and you and I just had some nonverbal communication, but I'm still a little fuzzy on what this means. I am.

I signaled to Nick. I'm not verbal. I'm like, can they play another song? And then I signaled to Rob, can you play another song? And so then whispered in my ear, we could do part of a song. A little bit of a live, maybe? Yeah. Maybe a verse and a chorus. I don't know. It's early, folks. I understand. The Hooters on MMR.

I got a condition for which there is no cure. I'm in a position that everyone prays for. Got a sound in my head that could wake up the dead like the who's singing summertime blues. Got no thought in my sight, got no secrets to hide me amused.

I'm alive. I'm alive. It's a beautiful day and I'm happy to say I'm alive. I'm alive. And wherever I go, it's amazing to know I'm alive. All right. Yeah.

If you want more of that, write Preston. I don't think I ever played it on the accordion. That's impressive. I felt like Timothee Chalamet with the guitar up here. I'm alive. I'm alive. Did you guys see Complete Unknown? What did you think? I swore I would never watch it after seeing the trailer. All I could see was Timothee Chalamet, who's like a foot taller than Dylan. And like, you know.

But enough people said, you got to watch it. And 15 minutes in, I'm like, I'm sold. Yep. No kidding. Okay. Yeah, yeah. They did a nice job. All right, cool. I got to see that for sure. Yeah. All right, well, listen, you got to see the Hooters and their 45th anniversary tour. They will be at the Met on Saturday, May 17th. A Saturday off. We need to be explicit. This is not a request. You're going to go see them. You're not going. Come on. We will definitely be there.

Before we go further, can I give a shout out to the Eagles? Because we were fortunate enough to work on their Christmas albums. And they did a bunch of it at our studio. They've done three. And the first one they did a little. Second one a little more. This last one that just came out, which check it out. They've raised millions of dollars for charity. They did it mostly at our studio. We played on some of the songs. And

And shout out to Connor Barwin and Charlie Hall who pulled this whole thing together and produced it. And then we got really friendly with Kelsey and my lot and Lane Johnson. I mean, they're super, super guys. They come in, we just eat pizza and hang out. It's been a dream come true. Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks came in.

to sing with Jason. They're all really musical. Jason plays sax and guitar and he's got a great sense of production. Milad is, you know, you see Milad who's... What a voice. Big as a house. He sings like Sam Cooke. It's amazing. And Lane's got this deep... He's Lane, you know. He's got this deep soul and this deep voice. And it was such an honor because we're all fans.

And they're just great, great guys. And I think just the cocoon of the studio, you know, they're kind of away from all the hubbub. I mean, they're everywhere, as you know. They represent the city well. They really do. And it was an honor and a thrill. So shout out to those guys. We're right behind you. But they're really musical, too. It was fun. Go Birds! Go Birds! All right. Thank you guys so much for being here. Let's hear it for Rob, Eric, and Davey. Go Birds!

We love you guys. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a second. And you want me to give this away now, Casey? I'll give away our last $50 gift card from the Piccadilly Inn. Call number 18-215-263-WMMR. We'll set you up. We'll be back in just a second. Stay there. The

They have all this stuff ready to go. There's heating instructions for all your wings. You want to do this in advance. That's the way to go, and you can go to pickup

Maybe. Okay. I'll try to think of something. I know Kathy. I got mine taken care of. You can't get her out of the kitchen. I called the people at Acme and Dunkin' and they're going to bring stuff. Okay. If one of us is allowed to make Acme, are two of us allowed to make Acme for dinner? Well, Nick, you're going to have to be the third because I'm the second. Yeah.

All right. Because I almost feel like I call no fair on this one. No, and you're absolutely right to say that, but it's still going to move away. You can say it all you want. Because the thing that I'm making, I literally have to start making it tonight. Yes. And there's a degree of pity. Yeah.

And Matt Cowper, I said, hey, can Acme supply me with the goods for this? He's like, I'll ask. He never freaking asked. That is shocking. That is shocking that he has not followed through. You know how much money in chuck steak I'm going to have to spend? We don't, because it's one of your world famous recipes, right? Well, anyhow, tomorrow we're going to eat some food. Casey's food. You're going to love it. But before we do, Bizarre File or anything else...

We got to get a bird. Steve was just running through the BirdBot tracker, and BirdBot is making his way through Tennessee right now, Steve. Baileyton, Tennessee, and BirdBot has remained in a fixed position in front of an IHOP.

So I assume they're having breakfast. We're having some breakfast right about now. But BirdBot had a hell of a tour yesterday. And we actually have online real quick from the Frio's Popsicle truck that we knew BirdBot was being picked up by. This is Amanda, everybody. Hey there, Amanda.

Hey, how's it going? Awesome. Wonderful. How was your day with BirdBot? Oh my gosh, it was so fun. It was just like a crazy whirlwind of a day. Super last minute, but just so fun. BirdBot got so much love yesterday. And so, yeah, it seems that way. It seems wherever BirdBot was brought, the people reacted really favorably.

Yeah, it was. We had a really positive experience. We knew he was like really sought after. So we tried to take him where we knew as many people would be who wanted to see him. Well, I understand that the gang at Comcast had a pep rally and Bird Bot like got his own table or something along those lines.

Yeah, yeah, it was crazy. There were a couple people who messaged us to tip us off that the Comcast Center was having the rally and asked if we could take him there. So we just kind of pulled up unannounced, got out behind the Bird Dogs truck, got out of the truck, whispered, thought, and the security was looking at us like, what is this? I guess they hadn't heard of him before, so we had to explain to them

Like what was going on and that somebody had asked that we come and they like talked to a couple people, then let us in, cleared off some space on a table. And we just like sat back while a bunch of people signed him, took pictures, put stickers on him. Oh, he looks great. Yeah. And so where else did you head off on the tour with Bird Bot?

So then we had the night before when we found out that we had like messaged the guy who had him before. Right. And so it was kind of whirlwind from there. So I was trying to brainstorm and like use my like

connections with the people that I knew to figure out like where can we bring him where people will know to see him so the next spot that we headed was Federal Donuts in Radnor because I knew some of the people who worked there and we figured that was on the way to Helen because we knew the ultimate goal was like to try to get him to Helen and to make sure whoever got him next was going to take him to hers. No that's wise thinking.

Yeah. So we actually there was some mom who had seen our post, tracked us down, met us at Federal Donuts. We had no idea this was going on. And she was like, my son needs to see BirdBot. He has been like following the show and tracking him. So she promised she was going to take him to Helen after. So we parted ways with BirdBot after he had a little stint.

and tried some federal donuts. And so he ended up in the pickup line of a school? Was that where he went? Yeah, I believe so, yeah. I think she took him in the passenger seat, surprised her son, and then he got to meet some people at the school. That is great. I think I feel confident that by the time Helen received BirdBot, he was imbued with all of the Philly passion and spirit and goodwill there.

that he needed. And because I had let Helen know where he was going, she still wanted us to come because she wanted to try some Popsicles. That's great. We met them there for the after party and a bunch of people had heard about it and came and we were just celebrating BirdBot and the Eagles. Amanda, yesterday it was a balmy 34 degrees. How did you guys do with your Popsicle sales?

Oh, we didn't sell anything yet. No, we were just having fun. We just gave away pops yesterday. Oh, you gave away? But you guys are open for business during the wintertime?

Yeah. I mean, like when people want us, if they call us there, we're doing some specials for the Super Bowl if you check out our page. But, yeah, no, yesterday was all about just like having fun and getting bird-bought places. We weren't. We were just giving. Just a quick question. Is it just popsicles or are there other frozen treats that you have? Yeah.

Yeah, so they're just popsicles, but their creamy flavors are really unique. They're more like ice cream bars. So we've got a sea lime pie one that's got a graham cracker crust in it, banana pudding, which has Nilla wafers inside. We need to try that. Yeah, we do. Yeah, we got a...

We got to hook you guys up for sure. All right. We'll coordinate something down the road. Amanda, thank you for being wonderful escorts for BirdBot and continuing on his journey to make it to New Orleans. Thank you for doing that. Yeah, it was so fun. Met so many cool people, and it was an honor to be part of the journey. Thanks for having me on the show. You got it. Thanks, Amanda. Go Birds, all right? Go Birds!

I hit the wrong button. I meant to hit the BirdBot jingle. Casey, hit the BirdBot jingle one more time. Sorry. All right, so BirdBot's on the way, and Helen's going to hold on to him. Now, Helen says she is going to hang on to him for like 24 hours because there's a chance that BirdBot may meet Jelly Roll and get a picture with Jelly Roll. And Chris Stapleton. She's got a direct tie to those guys, and...

Also, she's got a couple other things, places to go to, like Fox Good Day. And then BirdBot's going to be on his own. And we'll see what happens after that. So Helen's son is an active band member playing with Jelly Roll. Is that the situation? Not playing with. I don't know if he's playing with. But has worked with before. We'll see. Yep. All right. Let's do the B-file. Then we've got yet another guest that we're going to talk to. Who is that?

WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. Brought to you by Nifty 50s. Game day just got better with Nifty 50s. You can grab the limited time mint Oreo shake Kwan milkshake or fuel your crew with a nugget, finger or burger tray. And as part of the big game, you can taste the memories.

at Nifty 50s. All right, we'll start with a lighter story, but it's a local story. A Levittown woman faces up to 36 months in prison for impersonating a dental assistant. Wow. And performing functions in which she was unlicensed. That's my ass. Rose Calise Horn of Levittown pleaded guilty to, one of the crimes is felony prohibited use of radiation sources. Oh my God. What the fuck?

And impersonating... Turn this thing on. And impersonating a holder of a professional occupational license. She'll serve 18... I don't know how to use that. Just open your mouth, sir. Okay. Ten minutes should get it done.

Horn claimed to be licensed to perform expanded functions such as installing crowns and bridges, filing down fillings, administering local anesthesia, and assisting with root canal surgeries. So she had no dental education whatsoever? During her time at one of the dental practices, she took x-rays of five patients, even though she was not trained or licensed to perform x-rays. Oh my God. Just lay still, sir. This will only take a moment here.

Horn was hired by three different dentists in Bucks County between October 2022 and 2023 while lying about the qualifications. It does not say in this story, Kathy. So you can probably find that out. I'm going to try to find it. All right. This is a really disturbing story. This is in England. A woman was caught by police pushing her daughter's decomposing dead body around town in a wheelchair.

Joan Kathleen Turnell, who is 77, is thought to have kept her daughter Tracy's corpse in her apartment for over a year. Neighbors have been complaining of a horrendous smell coming from the flat as well as a fly infestation. We've never got along better. But when officers came around to check, Joan refused to let them in. In a bid to persuade the officers...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Or, I'm sorry, the officers were. So they stopped Joan as she pushed the chair into a secluded car lot. When officers lifted the hood of the red coat, they found a heavily decomposed body. So what was the... Was she just couldn't let go? I'll explain. So she said, why can't they just leave us alone? We have been fine and I've been looking after her. The court revealed that Joan had mental illness and was also found that she was suffering from both...

prolonged grief disorder, and a brain tumor. The coroner wrote, she said that Joan wrote,

I did not cause my daughter's death. I did not know what caused my daughter's death. I did not call for an ambulance because I knew they couldn't help. I kept Tracy with me because I couldn't bear to part with her. I loved her too much, and I can't remember the exact date of her death, but I believe it to be around September of 2022. Oh, my God. They were able to find the cause of death. Sweetheart, we understand, but the stank...

They were unable to find it because the body was so decomposed. However, it was discovered that Tracy had been living with a range of health conditions. She did not own a phone. Police never found a single photograph of her. And the apartment was infested with bugs, rodents, and there was poop all over the floor. God.

So the woman ended up not being prosecuted. So obviously she's going to be checked into a mental health facility. Something lighter that we should probably end with. It's definitely not that story. We're keeping this short because is our other guest on the line? Yeah, he looks like he's getting prepped. All right. One last story and then we will move along. So the lobster business is cutthroat, especially one once organized crime families get involved.

The mafia is wrapped up in the lobster biz? Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Jeff LeBlanc said in an interview that Eric David Thibault

is allegedly part of an organized crime family operating out of Nova Scotia that's been exploiting the lobster industry in the area. It would be a shame if something were to happen to that lobster. Which included threatening multiple people and extorting a local. Thelabut, along with his son, Zachary, and a third man, were all arrested Sunday and charged with...

uttering threats, intimidation, and trying to extort $10,000 from a victim. One of the people who was allegedly threatened by the crime family was the owner of the family-run Lobster Hub. The owner said that he started receiving threats after he started buying lobsters from harvesters last season who stopped selling to facilities allegedly buying illegal caught lobsters. They say when you get into the lobster biz, you'll do anything to claw your way to the top.

And that's all I have in the Bizarre File for you this morning. All right, we're going to go to Nolan's, folks. Let's head to the Big Easy live as we speak.

Our guest is coming to us from Radio Row. Yes. In New Orleans, which is where everybody's getting set up for official coverage of the Super Bowl. And we would like to welcome from our sister station, 97.5 The Fanatic, Mr. Andrew Saltunis. Hello, everyone. What's going on? Yo, bud. You got it going on. Sorry to bother you at work. I hear that stuff all the time. No biggie, brother. All right. When did you guys get down there, man?

So we got down Tuesday night late, so didn't really get to experience the whole New Orleans field too much Tuesday night. And then you guys know all about morning radio hour earlier because it is 5 a.m. You know, when we're starting 6 a.m. Eastern, 5 a.m. Central time. So it's been a lot of fun. Last night was more of the let me explore New Orleans kind of day. And we did a lot of exploring. It was a good time. Is this your first time there?

Yeah, this is my first time in New Orleans and everything that I was told about it is accurate. The food's great. The drinks are great. Some of the streets are very dirty. There's pee everywhere and they wash it down every single day. Yes, they do. Yeah. All right. So question upon just, you know, observance and you guys are there a little early. Are you seeing a lot of Eagles love yet visually from people just walking around?

So there's Eagles love from all of the Eagles fans that are here. There are people that got down here last weekend, already Eagles fans that aren't even going to the game. They just want to be down here and be a part of the party. But one of the coolest things that I've picked up on, nobody wants the Chiefs to win. Like non-Eagles fans, non-Chiefs fans, it doesn't matter. They might be

well, not Cowboys fans, obviously, but Bills fans or Titans fans. There's a lot of just football fans that are down here and everybody wants the Eagles to win because they're tired of the Taylor Swift thing. They're tired of the Chiefs. They don't want to see the three-peat. So 70%

are going towards Philadelphia right now. It is being taken over by Philadelphia. It's interesting you say that because from a casual observer, just seeing the way people are responding to what's being written in the press and just in general, they're sort of the Eagles are the America's team in this battle. And I think it's just, in many cases, as you said, it could be just a natural reaction to winning a lot. It's the same thing that was happening with the Patriots and enough already. But also...

All the dynamics are in place. Now, they're projecting that this is going to be for the Super Bowl routinely record viewership, but that this is going to be a record on top of records. You get that same sense? Yes.

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's crazy right now. I mean, you guys can obviously see that I'm already at Radio Row. I'm trying to give you a better shot, not just of my face. I mean, this place is packed and the city in general is packed. And I can only imagine viewership is going to be through the roof. I mean, especially now that there's so many ways to watch, right, the way that you can stream. And we know about it here in the radio. It's not even radio anymore. It's media at this point. So, yeah.

It's going to be crazy, bigger numbers every single year. People love the Super Bowl. They absolutely love it no matter who's in it. Trinus, we were talking earlier about the travel habits. How is John Kincaid to travel with? Honestly, it's the only time he's quiet. I love John, but John can talk. And for some reason, he told me there's three areas where he's quiet. Church, the blackjack table, and the airplane. And I said, all right, I'll...

Let's see if that's actually true or not. I sat next to him, both lights down. He barely spoke, which was amazing. He watched his soap operas because they were putting live TV on the screens in front of you on the airplane. So he actually, for the first time...

an hour, almost 12 months of working together, shut his mouth. It was actually amazing. Andrew, I played golf with him one time and he literally talked the entire time. Listen, he's a really nice guy, but he talked the whole time. But if I ever play golf with him again, I will bring a blackjack table with me. Exactly.

Hey, listen. Bring a plane. Bring a plane with me. You guys, listen, you have a job to do. You're down there. You're doing your show. But how hard is it to not have your head on a swivel? Because I've been to Radio Row in Phoenix. And you're a huge sports fan, right? So you recognize people left and right. And I remember walking around like, oh, my God, there's Sean Payton. Oh, there's Nate Burrows. And oh, my God, there's Adam Thielen. And you're just doing that all the time. But you're also supposed to be doing a show at the same time.

Yeah, I mean, the good thing for morning radio is like the first two hours, it's kind of dead here. Yeah. Like, you know, the people that are staying up at party, because think about it, Radio Row and the Super Bowl week, it's not just about the game, it's about all the sponsored parties, right? So...

All these high-end rollers, they're out till God knows what time. So they're not strolling in here on Radio Row at 6 o'clock in the morning or here 5 o'clock in the morning. So the first two hours of the show, it's pretty quiet. But, yeah, I mean, Drew Brees walked up by us as we were talking to Kurt Warner. So I'm talking to Kurt Warner about the game, watching Drew Brees walk by. And then I saw Jerome Bettis, the bus, who, you know, everybody loved him just because he was a beast. So I'm going...

man my my childhood is coming out of me right now i'm trying to still be professional it is it is crazy though i mean this this place is insane like i'm doing more walking around right now like uh the pat mcafee show and all them they're they're all here like cbs they have a whole tv setup yeah espn has a whole tv station set up like here are the little tables that pretty much everybody else has but

But then you see all the people that are walking by and you understand why they do it up so much here. So, yeah, it can be distracting. I just try to keep my head down, do the show and just stare into John's beautiful eyes. His beautiful mouthy eyes. Quick question, because you mentioned parties and so on and so forth. What what what is the big event? What is the big go to? Are you getting any sense? Because it used to be when Maxim magazine was a thing that they would have the one of the quintessential big events.

you know, Superbowl parties. Where's the big party in new Orleans? Who's putting it on? Uh, you know, I haven't really looked just cause I'm just been kind of walking around and exploring, but like, I know there was a big media night on, on Monday or, you know, Tuesday night, we just got down to late. Uh, and it was huge. Like there was big gators, like live gators. I'm not saying gator bites. Like there were live gators just at this party. So they, they really do it up. But yeah, all these companies, I mean like, uh,

has this gigantic setup here because they do Super Bowl. Oh, you eat wings, so you're going to have messy hands, so you're going to all of a sudden need bounty, and you're going to have to wipe up your hands. So they pay a lot of money as I walk by Brian Dawkins right now in case you guys want to see. Oh, yeah. Beat up. Beat up. You don't get a bird bite. But, yeah, but there you go. Casey, back to your point, I mean, there's Brian Dawkins just walking by. Why are they talking to you, Henry?

Yeah, exactly. That's a good producer right there. Hey, when do you head home? We fly back Friday, tomorrow after the show. You know, everybody keeps on saying, wouldn't you want to stay down there and be part of the game? It's like,

I'd rather be home. Because if they win, I want to be with friends and family. I want to celebrate. It would be so cool. Don't get me wrong. Experience of a lifetime to be at the Super Bowl, especially if your team's in it. But if they win, what am I going to do? Shake hands with some corporate guy? No. I want to hug my buddies. Because everybody that's at the Super Bowl, you see those ticket prices. It's not the everyday fan. There's a couple of people that do it, but for the most part, it's such a corporate event that...

I don't want to hang out with suits. No, it makes complete sense. Listen, I think this... Everyone feels a victory. Every city or whatever has a victory. But I think there's... I'm just saying it. Maybe we're biased, but

The energy here, you want to be here for that. You want to be here for the gathering and the excitement and the energy. It makes total sense. That's the beauty of sports. The beauty of sports is community. That's what brings us all together. I don't know

95% of the people that live in the city of Philadelphia. You don't know them, but as soon as you see a guy wearing a green shirt, you say, go birds. You give him a hug as if like you're brothers. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Nice. All right. Well, listen, man, we are going to check in with you again tomorrow, I believe, correct? Yep. Yep. Sounds good. All right. We'll go soak it in and we'll see what else is going on as we inch that much closer to Sunday, man. Thank you, brother. We appreciate it so much, guys. It's Andrew Salchunas. Yeah.

Bring us back to Bounty. All right, man. We'll see you. Nice. Yeah, you can see all the stuff in the background as he's walking around. That's a big operation. It is. It's a huge operation. All right. What do we need to do? We got to take a break. So let's get on that now. We'll come back at the second lesson. Question, trash, and music news are up when we return.

Sabbath and Paranoid on 93.3 WMMR.

It's everything that rocks. And bizarrely, there's a part of that song that made me think of something. There's the vocal where Ozzy goes, telling you now of my state. Like that, right? I don't know why, but it makes me think of the BK commercial. Oh, my God. BK, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You rule. It's...

It's terrible. Thank you, but catchy. It's okay. Insanely catchy. Do you know that's part of a, they call it, there's a specific style of singing that actually has a name. I didn't realize that until somebody pointed it out because it's so horrible. But it's, they talk about the, BK, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait a minute.

Like you gave up on that. You couldn't have come up with like two more words to move those syllables instead of mails. Yeah. Shut up. Yeah. But here I am talking about it. So they win. And I think about it all the time. They win. I want to be that. Anytime it comes on, I'm like, I hate that, but I can't get that out of my head. You've got DK mails. Yeah.

You could have said Burger King. That adds a couple of syllables. Yeah, right? Okay. Jerk-offs. But I do like that jingle for some reason. I just don't like the way that's sung. Who is that? That's like a famous artist singing that, I believe. Is it Rihanna? It's not Rihanna. It's a guy. No, it's not, yeah.

Hold on, Marissa says up. Re-ann Bob. Marissa just pointed up. I see the Eagles logo. I don't know. The one you have in your box, bro. Oh, okay. Marissa sent it over. Here we go. Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper. Junior, double, triple Whopper. Impossible or bacon Whopper. I rule this day. Hey, yeah. I like this part. Have it your way. But the man...

It's the melt, the BK melt one, yeah. Ozzy can't say melt either. Nick, who sings it? The guy's name is Will Crown. Oh, okay, maybe he's not a, I thought he was... He's the famous Burger King singer. I thought he had a famous musician who I wouldn't have known the name of, but it's a guy named Will what? Will Crown, yeah. Will Crown. I don't know if the crown has anything to do with the fact that he's the Burger King. Maybe you thought it was Craig Robinson at one point? Brown.

No. Because Craig Robinson's done some jingles and he's done, like, did Pizza Hut, right? Really? Craig Robinson? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he's done a bunch of jingles. Okay.

You learn stuff. You do. So I would like to ask a stupid question of you. Do you like the Burger King jingle? No. Four pack of tickets for the... No, no, no. We have a $50 gift card to Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse. That's what I'm giving away in Northeast Philly. Here's the question that I posed to you.

God. Billy Ray Cyrus taking to Instagram to congratulate Miley Cyrus for her latest Grammy win. Cyrus, who's been intoxicated a few times in public recently, said he thinks of Miley as a daughter. Woo! Woo!

The Eagles fight song and their 45th anniversary tour is kicking off at the Met in Philly, Saturday, May 17th. You can get tickets at HootersMusic.com or anywhere you buy tickets for the Met, of course. And then we had Andrew Salchunas from our sister station, The Fanatic. He is in New Orleans. They are broadcasting live from there. So we checked in and got a little bit of flavor from him.

And also we had BirdBot check-ins this morning. On top of that, BirdBot on his way to New Orleans as we speak. So we'll start to get more of that tomorrow morning and in through the weekend as well. Pierre Robert is in the studio. Made it in. How you doing, man? It's a lovely day out. Is it lovely? It doesn't look lovely. No, it couldn't be nicer. Hooters sounded great. Yeah. And they did not just one round, but they did a second round.

complete with a ho-hos and a few hi-highs and things like that. Ho-hos and hi-highs. Ho-hos and hi-highs. But this has been a great psych-up you kids have been doing for the big thing. And so everyone and the bot, maybe, what's her name that's got Mr. Bot? Helen. Helen. That's Carol Channing, right? Yes. So if she...

is listening to us streaming. Because last I heard you mention, Steve, she was just stopped at a...

Dunkin' Donuts or something. It was an IHOP. An IHOP somewhere along the way. So if, Helen, you're listening, call me over the course of the program and tell me how road conditions are on your way to New Orleans. And perhaps you can give me a few verses of Hello, Dolly. Yes, yes. We had her do Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend the other day. She's currently in, Helen and the crew and Bird Bot are currently in Bulls.

Testicles? Bulls Gap, Tennessee. Bulls Gap, Tennessee? Oh, it's a great place. It is. I spent a year there, one hour. I'm glad you brought that up, Nick. I completely forgot. Nick pulled up a webpage, and I meant to share this in Music News so you would have heard it freshly on your way in because I reported it in the Entertainment Report earlier this morning. You're going to be so excited. Pierre, they're making a movie.

a movie based on the Pina Colada song. Escape, yes. Rupert Holmes. Yeah. The Great. A rom-com. It's going to be a love story here. Isn't that great? Me and My Lady.

I was tired of my lady. Stop it! Stop it! My lady! My lady. My lady. And I look in the personal. I found her. And she's my lady. And I want pina coladas and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Stinky poo-poo.

Hate that song. Wow. It's all rock. Everything rocks. I love that song. It's new and old and young and vibrant and S-ful. It's so funny that he hates it so much. I don't know. I mean, you were such a huge...

Buffett fan. Like, I kind of put it in the same category. No, no. Don't you dare. Oh, did you just hear what she said? Don't you dare. I'm sorry. You can't say it, but... Dare, dare, dare, dare. Pierre's going over to... Mon frere, don't you dare. Kathy. Them fighting words. I know, I get it, but... I'll fire him up a blender and we'll have some talk.

I'm going to wrap this up. We're going to switch gears. Why? We'll talk about the new Star Trek instead because I know how you like that. I love the concept of it. I love the concept of it. I love the mythology of it. I just don't like them to F with the mythology. The execution is lacking. Well, now, what if they take Rupert Holmes and they make this into this movie that you end up seeing as a delightful little romantic comedy that you fall in love with? Oh, my God. With Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, it's going to be...

Just amazing. And Richard Gere will be going, yeah, my lady. And Julia Roberts will be, yeah, my lady.

I said, that's the line you hate, my lady. My lady. I mean, that's so 70s. Yeah. I remember. It was written in the 70s. Well, it is. It is. What was it? The last number one hit of the decade? Of the decade, yeah. Yeah, 1979. I was thinking, Pierre, I love when you do theme blocks. And have you ever done like an alcohol block like Margaritaville? You could do the P. Nicoletta song. You could do eight George Surrogate songs. I'm ready for one now. I would love a block of songs you absolutely detest.

Do you have one? I'd have to work on that.

Yes. Did they do a version of the BK Melt song? I think so, yeah. They did a Rice Krispies jingle, though. The Stones did? You didn't know that? I think I remember this, but I think I've forgotten it, and now I think you've reminded me. They did a commercial for Rice Krispies, and it was before they...

Really exploded. It was very, very beginning days of their career. We've got the commercial up on the... Stop it! Really? Marissa, we have that audio somewhere. She'll find it for you. Jefferson Airplane did a Levi's commercial, which I have, which is pretty funny. Very psychedelic. Speaking of Jefferson... We're going off on a tangent here. I was on YouTube and I found a video and stumbled across it and it was an old clip of

something on Sesame Street and it was a woman's voice saying 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and it was going through the county that was Grace Flick real jazzy cool piece of music behind it and she did the vocal for it there's a lot of little hidden gems like that that we'll have to dust off Muddy Waters did a jingle for Massengeld it was really good
