Housekeeping, you want towels? No towels. Need sleepy. Housekeeping, you want mint bubble? Please go away. Let me sleep for the life. 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. KC Boy. They all can't starve it. Kathy Romano. I wanted to.
I'm just not the hero type. And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Ten minutes after six o'clock, we are beginning. Welcome to Wednesday morning with the Preston and Steve show. Let's check the weather forecast for today.
Steve, you played the Wii. Guess what I get to? I did that this morning. You did? Absolutely, man. I came in, the parking lot was wide open. There was a nice thin layer and spun around a little bit. It was wonderful. Today, yes, there's still a few flurries in the area this morning. I have about 35. It's going to taper off this morning and then it's going to be done. Until later on tonight. We get some snow showers.
Today's, tomorrow's temperature is fairly mild. The high of about 48 degrees. So that's going to turn into rain overnight. So what we get next is not going to be all that big of a deal. And then by the time we get to Friday for parade day, sunshine high of about 37. I owe you this. Whee! That's what I get to do. And go ahead, knock yourself out this morning. Hello. Hello.
Preston and Steve's News Update with Kathy Romano.
And the 39th Police District attempted to pull over a car on the 200 block of Lehigh Avenue. The suspect fled the scene but crashed near North 23rd Street. Two highway patrol officers were in the area. They tried to intervene when the gunshots rang out.
The male turned and fired multiple times. They struck the windshield of the highway patrol vehicle and then struck an officer in the right hand. The injured officer who joined the force in 2016 was taken to Temple University Hospital by his partner. And he is said to be in good condition and could be discharged soon. As additional officers had arrived at the scene, the suspect opened fire again, hitting the hood of a 39th District police vehicle. No officers were struck.
And police said the suspect fled the scene and was later found dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Sources say no officers fired their weapons during the incident and the suspect who died has not been identified. Two employees at a Delaware County charter school are facing charges after allegedly attacking a student's mom on Tuesday morning.
Ranesh Evans and Tanya Warren, who work at Chester Community Charter School, are facing charges including assault for an altercation that happened at Chester Transportation Center. The victim said that she had had issues with the school all year but didn't expect it to turn physical. She said, my lens was missing, it's bent. She's talking about her glasses, they were broken and she had a scratch on her face. This is Tiffany Spisak reporting.
And she says that her knees are bloodied and head is throbbing after she says Evans and Warren attacked her. She said, I was waiting at the bus stop and I wait there every morning to go to work. And two of the aides from my daughter's old building approached me.
Spisak said the employees approached her at the bus stop and started recording the argument that turned physical. She said, they got me to the ground and then they both came over and they were hitting me and kicking me while I was on the ground. Spisak says that she's previously complained to the principal of the school about the workers' behavior and even had her daughter transferred to another building. She claims the workers have behaved inappropriately in front of her daughter. She said, this has been ongoing and I've been trying to get it handled.
According to a criminal complaint, a school administrator showed up at the bus stop and took both employees away to work while Spisak was on the phone with 911. Police arrested Evans and Warren at the school. The school put out a statement saying that the employees have been suspended and contradicted police and the victim alleging the incident is not connected to the school and there are no injuries. So obviously they are facing a hearing that's set for February 25th.
Philadelphia officials said yesterday they are expecting more than one million people in the city Friday for a parade and celebration to honor the Eagles. Officials released the timing for the parade, the route, transit information and other details during a news conference yesterday. The parade with open air buses will begin at 11 a.m. It starts at Broad Street and Patterson Avenue by the sports complex.
It will travel north on Broad to South Penn Square, westbound on South Penn Square to 15th Street, northbound on 15th Street to JFK Boulevard, westbound on JFK to 16th Street, then north on 16th to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, westbound on the parkway to Akins Oval, and ending at the Philadelphia Museum of Art apron. So it's the exact same route that it took in 2018. Yeah.
Players and coaches are expected to arrive at the museum between 1230 and 1 p.m. The parade organizers say at that point they will get ready for a ceremony on the Rocky Steps.
That will begin at 2 p.m. and is expected to wrap up around 3.15. There will also be sensory-friendly resources along the parade route and 15 jumbotrons along the route to show the parade. And before the parade begins, those jumbotrons will be showing a replay of Super Bowl 59. City leaders are urging attendees to plan ahead since cell phone reception...
might be difficult. That's true. I want you to know where you're going to go and where you're going to be if you can ahead of time. They released, the city released a list of street closures and parking restrictions for Friday. I'm not going to go through all of them. No. They're very lengthy here and caution drivers about challenging travel conditions in the city as well.
There's also mass transit information for SEPTA and PATCO and all of that. Motors are advised to avoid the area by using alternate routes and allow for extra driving time when traveling in the vicinity. So if you get a chance, you can do a quick search online and you can find all of the details and you can map out your morning and afternoon. Yesterday, President, during the press conference, Mayor Parker was talking about, you know, that's Valentine's Day as well, obviously. And so the restaurant industry is like...
How is this going to affect us? And she's saying, good luck. I hope they can do it. Yeah.
Turn over all of the stuff. Open up the streets because there's a lot of restaurants right there. And open things up so that they can get the business, the reservations that are made. So it's a lot to juggle, but she's saying they can pull it off. Yeah, there's, like I said, if you do a quick search, you'll also find the timing of when this closures are going to end. What time they begin and what time they end. And you can get yourself a plan together. If you already have Valentine's Day plans in the city, you're definitely going to want to take a peek at that.
All right, sports this morning. What the f*** is that?
Well, the Sixers lost again. What the f*** is this? They fell to the Toronto Raptors 106-103 last night in South Philly. Scotty Barnes scored 33 points and the Raptors sent the Sixers to their fourth straight loss. Joel Embiid had 27 points, 12 rebounds, but the Sixers fell a season worst 13 games under 500. Wow. Jared Butler had 15 points off the bench. Paul George had 12 and the Sixers lost
are on the road again tonight. They have a game in Brooklyn against the Nats. Tip-off is set for 7.30. Flyers are off for the next week and a half in the International Hockey Tournament, the Four Nations Tournament, featuring teams from Canada, the U.S., Finland, and Sweden begins this week and runs through the 20th. And the first game is tonight as Team Canada, featuring two Flyers, Travis Konechny and Travis Sanheim, are going to take on Team Sweden, whose goalie is the Flyers' net miner, Sam Arison.
And the puck will drop at 8 o'clock. And then finally, Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has agreed to become the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints. The team announced this yesterday. 36-year-old Moore decided to move ahead with his quest to become a head coach after one season in Philly. Eagles averaged 27.2 points in the regular season and 36.3 points in the postseason.
Which was the best in the NFL. Therefore, the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champions. Yeah. That is what I have in the whole news package for you this morning. Thank you. Romano's out today, man. She's ill and not feeling well. Coming down with something, which apparently is kind of making the rounds. The flu's all over the place. She's holding that hold.
Joining us for a live broadcast on Friday morning. And hopefully she will be well enough to be there. It would suck. It would suck with everything in place to miss that. Because, you know, she likes to flash. She does. Yeah. No, but there's stuff going around, man. I just know people have been...
you know, still in and chill. Yeah. And she has the chills, which is, it seems like a flu kind of thing. Uh, so we're going to be at the Cambria hotel, uh, two 19 South broad street. They are our broadcast partner for the parade that is on Friday morning. So if you're in the vicinity, uh, come by and say, well, you can't come in. We will be inside. Uh, but actually there's a patio that will be, uh,
over the group. So hopefully we will see you there. And if not, you can listen to us. You can stream us. You can do the whole thing. That's why we are going to be there. A couple of things taking place today. It is a Wednesday, so Fox Good Day. We will check on those guys. We also have a secret text where we have a chance for you to win a four-packet tickets for the Philadelphia Home and Garden Show, the 21st to the 23rd at the Expo Center. So text the word SECRET to 39333. We'll get you going on that. We also are going to have actor Morris Kempis
on the program. Unbelievably good looking young man. Yes. I guess he's not a young man. He's probably my age. 54? Yes. Yeah. Because of that, you think of him as perpetually young. Yeah, boys in the hood. He's great at that. So he'll be joining us this morning talking about the show Watson and that's in the 9 o'clock hour and we will just...
Spend our day having a great time together once again as we fight a little bit of snow. It's not too bad. A little tricky on some of the side roads I found. And then once you get to the main thoroughfares, it's pretty wide open. We'll take a quick break. Come back in a second. Lots of entertainment stuff to parse out to you as well as the Super Question. We'll have it next.

Tom Petty on 93.3 WNWR. Every day at Ross. Won't back down, baby. I'm not at all. 6.33. We got ourselves Wednesday morning. Today we're giving away for the secret text word tickets. Four packages for the Philadelphia Home and Garden Show. So text the word secret 39333. See if you win that later on.
Kathy's out. We got Nick handling the traffic this morning, so let's see what's going on. What you got, Nick? Yeah, not too bad out there so far this morning, Preston. There is some slower areas on the back roads and the side roads, but the main roads are looking pretty good. There is this downed utility pole. This has an area blocked in Bucks County, Hilltown Pike, both northbound and southbound.
between Keystone Drive and Lime Kiln Pike. So avoid that area if you can. And then there's that road construction that has the right lane closed. This is on Cotman Avenue, northbound between the boulevard and Busselton, and that's because of the airplane crash from a couple weeks ago. There's also an accident in Burlington County. It has the Garden State Parkway southbound closed just south of Route 9. But other than that, the roads are actually looking pretty good so far this morning. This traffic report is brought to you by Wawa. Wawa rewards...
Excuse me. Rah-wah rewards is the word I'm trying to say. Here we go. Ready? It's a tough one. Rah-wah rewards members redeem unlimited bonus offers for $1 hot coffee, $2 iced coffee, and $3 Monster Energy every day now through February 16th. And that's your traffic.
On 93.3 WMMR. Actually, I wonder if a competing company called Ra-Ra might be back to really good. Ra-Ra. Ra-Ra coffee. Ra-Ra Weewards. Yeah. Ra-Ra Weewards. There you go. It just rolls off the tongue. Ra-Ra Weewards. It sure do. So, stupid question. Giving away a four-pack of tickets to the fishing show. Yay! It's this weekend at the Philadelphia Greater Expo Center at Oaks. And the question that I will pose to you for Black History Month is,
The closing theme of the Preston and Steve show on Thursday mornings is also the closing theme from what classic sitcom? There you go. 215-263-WMMR. Every Thursday morning on our way out of the program, the very, very end, we play a different piece of music. And on Thursdays, we play the closing theme from what classic sitcom? Keep in mind, this is Black History Month as well. 215-263-WMMR.
WMMR. Let's see if you know the answer to that. We'll go do some birthdays today being the 12th day of February. It's Josh Brolin's 57th birthday today. He was just at the star ceremony for Kihi Kwan. Yeah.
And very cool. You know what? It was so cool hearing him talk in a positive way about being a goonie after all these years. And so many great roles throughout the years. Thanos, Cable in the second Deadpool movie. Dune, he plays Gurney Halleck, a great character. So good. Yep, no country for old men. Tons of things throughout the years. It's going to be 57th birthday today to Josh Brolin.
John Michael Higgins could be my favorite person in the Christopher Guest movies. He's just so wonderful in Best In Show and A Mighty Win and all those. He's actually a really good...
In a Mighty Wind. I think he wrote most of those songs that the New Street Singers play in that. And in Pitch Perfect, he's one of the judges. He's one of the lead roles in that series of movies. Letterman and the Late Show. So he turns 62 years old today. Michael Ironside has his birthday. He's a badass. Just watching Starship Troopers. Obviously Top Gun.
Yeah, really good. And he is ballooned up, though, Nick. What was the name of the movie about the... God. The pager. Glenn was in it from...
It's always sunny. I'm having a massive brain fart here. You know what I'm talking about. The Blackberry? The Blackberry, yes. He was the guy that they called in to get the workers in line, and he is as imposing as you can get. But you're right, Steve. When he first came on the scene, I'm like, wait, that guy looks like Michael Ironside, but he's put on some pounds. Yeah. Looks like that guy ate Michael Ironside. He is 75 years old today. Joe Don Baker. Oh, my God. Walking tall.
Remember when that came out? Yeah, I remember when that came out. Walking Tall was huge. Then they had Bo Svensson in the sequel. But Walking Tall was one of those first indie movies that took off at the box office. And this music is from The Natural where he plays the whammer in that. And also he's great in Fletch.
too, as the police chief. So happy birthday to Don, Joe Don Baker, who is 89 years old today. It's Christina Ricci's birthday today. Yep. Adam's family, obviously, and was a big part of the show Wednesday.
which was apropos, of course, her playing at a Wednesday in the Addams Family. I saw an interview with her talking about the character, and the character is very important to her. Obviously, he got her up and running. Yeah. So happy birthday to her. She is 45. It's Michael McDonald's birthday today. The great Michael McDonald.
From not only the Doobie Brothers, but a lot of the session work throughout the years with Steely Dan and so on. I read his biography. It's great. It's excellent. He's an insanely talented musician. And a big focus of the Yacht Rock.
Documentary. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. So happy 73rd birthday today to Michael McDonald. And then it's Chyna Phillips' birthday today. Yeah. Wilson Phillips. Been married to Billy Baldwin since 1995. We talked about them recently because they tried to live in completely separate households. Right. Not just to have, like, different bedrooms.
different houses and remain married. They weren't separated or anything. And they realized that was stupid. Right. And that didn't work out. So they're back together in the same household. She is 57 years old today. We just talked about this author, Judy Blume, not that long ago. Yes. Today is her birthday. Super popular tween fiction, I guess, is what she's most known for. And she wrote, Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. And she is 87 years old. She also wrote Who Dat?
And then the last birthday is Arsenio Hall. Yeah, the dog pound. Arsenio turned 69. You wrote a fan letter, right? The only fan letter I've ever written in my life. The only fan letter you ever wrote to Arsenio Hall. Dear Arsenio, we should play catch sometime.
Did you ever see the interview with him and Randy Macho Man Savage? No. Oh, my God. My brother, for whatever reason, showed up on some Instagram feed this weekend, and he sent it to me. It's Macho Man in full-on, coked-up Macho Man glory. There's a point where Arsenio asks Randy Macho Man Savage if he ever took steroids, and his answer is just classic, yes, and kids don't do drugs. Meanwhile, he's so...
Freaking high on coke. It's ridiculous. It's worth a watch. I wonder if that's better than he did an interview with Jason Voorhees. Do you remember that one? The character? Jason? No. The actual character. Yeah, yeah. He's sitting and he's asking him questions. And he just sat there. You know? Didn't answer anything. That's great. All right. Let's see if you know the answer to this question. The closing theme of the President Steve Show on Thursday is...
is also the closing theme from what classic sitcom? We will go over to Jeff, see if we can get that answer. Hi, Jeff. Good morning, bud. Hi, how are you? Awesome, man. So Thursdays, what do we close the show with? What theme song? Jefferson. The Jefferson. Yeah!
Correct, buddy. Hang on, Jeff. Got you a four-pack of tickets to the Philadelphia Fishing Show this weekend. And the Philadelphia Fishing Show is at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks. And Friday through Sunday, buy the best saltwater and freshwater tackle, gear, apparel, and more. And you can visit phillyfishingshow.com for more details. Yeah, this is our closing theme on Thursday morning.
Alright, we're going to start off by playing a couple of clips because a couple of the birds were on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night. Yes, that's right. We're going to start with, we have one of us, Saquon Barkley, and he talks about his role when the Eagles have their tush-push play. Here we go. What is your role in the quote-unquote tush-push? I think I have the easiest job, to be honest. I think I'm the one who pushes the tush. Okay.
I love it. And then Jalen Hurts talks about a picture that he has on his phone. Here we go. I know this because I read this. Can you tell everyone what was on your phone, your phone background? Well, see, I'm not tripping that you brought that up because it's like a little edge. Motivation. Yeah, so I know there are, I guess people anticipate me to change it. It's just a wallpaper, but it's a humble reminder for me. What is this picture of? It's...
It's the picture of the first one. You're walking off the field. When they lost. That's what it means. The Super Bowl they lost in 2018. And so it's just kind of a motivator for them. They also shotgunned a beer. Did they really? Yeah. They had members of the offensive line come out and they did a shotgun beer show.
Because Saquon had done that in the locker room after the game. I saw a pre-promo video of the offensive line and Jalen and Saquon. And they were all lip syncing a song. And they were just having such a great time. Each offensive lineman took a different...
line from the song. I think the wheels came off and they were just having a great time. I love it, man. Celebrate this team for as long as you possibly can. During the actual Super Bowl, Tom Brady made the point, they had some of the stats on the size of the players 20 years ago. It was from the very first Super Bowl and it was like a half of a foot and a hundred pounds. It was like two
245 versus now 338, the average. And 6'6 is the average height. Now, average height. Average height, yeah. And back then it was like 6'2 or something along those lines. That's crazy. Yeah, it's insane how big everybody has gotten. All right, and doing some things outside of that, to mention Dave Chappelle is going to receive the President's Award at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards. And this is just the latest award for him.
He received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2019. The NAACP president and CEO Derek Johnson said the President's Award honors an unwavering dedication to community and throughout his distinguished career, Dave Chappelle has consistently been recognized as a powerful voice
of social consciousness. Now, he gets six months of Omaha Steaks as part of it, does he not? Oh, wow, that's a great deal. I wouldn't doubt it if he did. Yeah, I mean, that's amazing. Past recipients of the honor include Muhammad Ali, Jay-Z, and Dwayne Wade. The awards show will support communities impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles, and Chappelle will receive the award February 22nd at the 56th
NAACP Image Awards. That'll air on BET and CBS.
Here's a guy who's probably not going to get the President's Award, Kanye West. Holy hell. So his Shopify website has been taken offline. The site was used by the rapper to sell T-shirts featuring a black swastika. Shopify said in a statement, all merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms, so we removed them.
To your point, Preston, by the way, about how the spot ended up during the Super Bowl.
And you said perhaps they were unaware that was the case. So the link was activated after the commitment to the spot. Yeah, they probably had a placeholder link up there ahead of time. That's what happened. Switch it at the last second. I saw a video yesterday, and I'm usually not a fan of the reflexive celebrity cavalcade, but they have one of them wearing a Kanye FU middle finger ring.
I mean, a list of people from Woody Allen to David Schwimmer to just a whole... Adam Sandler, double bird flipping Kanye. No kidding. Really? I mean, people you never see come out for these things in this video. It was pretty impactful. Yeah.
He has released a number of anti-Semitic statements in the past. He recently deactivated his account on social media platform X following a series of anti-Semitic statements. And he also lost a number of business deals a few years ago with companies including Gap and Adidas for a series of anti-Semitic comments. Oh, I, you know.
Dude does not learn. No. And so we'll see. Today he's going to premiere the Nazi onesie. Let's see where this old takes him. Seth Rogen is not interested in revisiting his friendship with James Franco. Franco had revealed in October to Variety that the two were no longer speaking, sharing, and I quote, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it's over and not for lack of trying. But Rogen has brushed off the headline's offering by saying, I absorb everything.
so little media that it really wasn't on my radar. Rogan publicly supported Franco despite multiple sexual misconduct allegations that Franco denied any wrongdoing of, but later admitted that, quote, he very much regretted making a joke at Franco's expense in his 2014 Saturday Night Live monologue about
Rogan had joked about catfishing Franco as an underage girl and that he, quote, seems unfazed. Rogan went on to tell the Times that it was a terrible joke, honestly. And he said, I also look back to that interview in 2018 where I comment that I would keep working with James. And the truth is that I have not and I do not plan to right now. So, yeah, they're not making amends anytime soon.
This is interesting. Armie Hammer addressed longstanding rumors about his alleged cannibalism during an interview. He explained that while he did take a bite out of an animal's heart after a hunt, that was part of a rite of passage and not for any sinister reason. He said, you take a bite out of the heart...
And you've got all your buddies around you and they're goading you on. Yeah, that's what always happens. He emphasized that it was not for the purpose of any cannibalism or any sexual gratification. But it had to have been a human heart for it to be cannibalism. Yeah.
When asked about accusations from his exes, he firmly denied ever engaging in cannibalistic behavior, stating, you know what you have to do to actually be a cannibal? You have to actually eat human flesh. So no, he said.
Hammer admitted to past mistakes, acknowledging that he was less than pleasant to other people, but maintained that he never broke the law. His career took a major hit following sexual assault allegations, which were later dismissed after an LAPD investigation, though the claims and rumors still haunt his public image. You're the only person in this room, I think, who was hunted. Did you ever eat an animal heart after a catch? No. You didn't eat a duck heart?
No. No? Okay. Like a duck? Yeah. Rip it open with your bare hands so that the soul of the duck can come into you? No, I was never goaded on by my friends to eat an animal heart. Duck heart! While I was still beating. What if you hit like a raccoon with your car? You eat that heart. You eat that heart, right? If you've never killed one before, so it's supposed to be only on your first kill. Your first kill, okay. So the first time you do that, yeah, if you missed out, sorry, bud. Yeah.
So, reality star Jen Affleck, no relation to Ben, is pregnant. And she is from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Oh, this is causing a big stir, is it not? She and cast member and husband Zach have found that baby number three for the couple is on the way. I don't know if there's any... Yeah, I was reading yesterday that her fan base...
She has a fan base. Is not happy with her getting pregnant because I guess the deal was she was the randiest, I guess you could say, and a reason of the secret lives of Mormon wives. She's very attractive. It's an attractive cast. Yeah. They definitely have...
made it that way on purpose. I don't know why, but I've watched some of this show and, Steve, it's like every other one, right? It's fairly terrible. However, A, they're all, everybody, men, women, they're all incredibly attractive. And B, there's this divide because some of the people in the cast like to drink and you're not really supposed to if you're a Mormon. And then there's just infidelity all over the place. And so...
For whatever reason, like the peeling back of a reality show version of Mormonism, I actually think is kind of interesting. So let me ask you, is it basically every other show and they're just slapping this Mormon thing on for the titillation? Yeah, but did you watch, what was that, an episode?
Big Wives. Not Big Wives. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit of it. Big Love. Yeah. On HBO? Yeah, on HBO with Bill Paxton. Yeah. Anyway, so it's kind of like that. It's not FLDS people. It's LDS people. Okay. But still, there's this notion that religion kind of hangs over everything and Mormonism is supposed to make you a little bit more conservative, sexually, religiously, and drinking alcohol, etc. Rochelle watches the one
Where the guy has the three wives. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. That's God. Sister wives, right? Sister wives. Thank you. Oh, my God. I come in. She's watching that show. And I'm just like, I don't say anything. I roll my eyes when she's not looking. I just, I can't stand it.
that stuff. But it's important for people to know that everybody's human, right? So, like, I think we have this idea, right? When you look at Mormons, it's like, oh, they're all perfect and they don't sin or they don't have desires or whatever. And the reality is they do, just like everybody else. I never thought that. Yeah, I know. It's just like, you know, outsiders looking in, you're like, oh, like,
all Jewish people must be so devout and they must all go to synagogue every, you know, and they don't. And Catholics don't. And Christians don't. And, and, uh,
Buddhists don't. Buddhists don't. Hindus don't. No, they don't. Yep. No, I know. This is the conceit, though. It's like, oh, what's it like to be a Mormon wife? Well, they're apparently doing everything else. You know, it seems like a regular reality show. So Jen told People Magazine that the news came as a surprise to the couple. She said, I was a few days late. And while it was a surprise, we both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us. We were very excited.
There were a lot of emotions after a very crazy year. The couple are already parents to three-year-old daughter Nora and 19-month-old son Lucas. A day after Stephen A. Smith bagged on Serena Williams for her Super Bowl halftime appearance, the View star Whoopi Goldberg had her back. Smith thought that it was out of pocket for Williams to be out there dancing to a Kendrick Lamar diss track aimed at her former boyfriend Drake.
Goldberg insisted that had nothing to do with the cameo. She said she got a chance to do something she wanted to do, and she went and did it. Instead of saying, damn, that was kind of great, you're bringing it back to some old stuff. This is what Whoopi said. Stop trying to always make it about somebody's man. Oh, that Whoopi. You know, Casey, we watched it, and you were wondering, was that Serena Williams? I was like, yeah, that was. I knew instantly. But I don't know any of the history or anything like that. She dated Drake.
And apparently it did not end well. But now she's with the CEO of Reddit. Isn't that who she's married to? I'm not sure.
But it's just, it's funny because these undercurrent things. This stuff? I hate it. Well, I don't even know. I mean, like, you know, there's a population of people that will, ooh. Oh, my God. They're beefing. They're beefing. I know. Knock it off. I'm clueless to it. Kendrick Lamar and Drake have had this ongoing thing. Yeah.
And nobody knew if he was going to do the song that was the diss track to Drake. And it's a hit. And so when it happened in the stadium, people were kind of surprised by it because it is a public event.
Few that we personally in this room don't really care about, but a lot of other people do. Press, you ready for a bomb? Yeah. They're possibly talking to Drake to host the Super Bowl next year. So he can do his diss track for Kendrick Lamar. Of course they are. It's crazy. Well, of course they would. Why not? It'll get everybody all fired up who cares about this type of thing. All right. Mandy Moore is not happy with Amazon. And she posted the details on her Instagram stories yesterday alongside a surreal picture of
of an Amazon box sitting in front of a house totally leveled by the L.A. wildfires. Moore wrote, Do better, Amazon. Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father-in-law's home. I saw this, and I actually came down on the side of Amazon because...
The word is a lot of people are having things sent to their house that they're using for debris removal or cleaning or whatever. And so a lot of other people came to their aid as well. They don't know what's in the box. They don't know what's in the box. They don't know what the person wanted. And obviously...
I get it. It seems a little weird, but you could adjust the delivery instructions on the website and I get you're swept up in this. A lot of people that didn't have the may not have thought about doing that, but I'm not going to fault the Amazon people for this. Okay. Well, Amazon sent out a statement to People Magazine saying we've reached out to Miss Morvey on Instagram to apologize for this and to ask for more information from her in-laws so that we are better able to investigate what happened here.
Here's a local story. Ryan Long, former rideshare driver from Mount Airy who won 16 Jeopardy games in 2022 is returning to the quiz show for its upcoming invitational tournament.
And he's not the only Philly native who won during season 38 who's on the roster. The Invitational Tournament, back for its second iteration, brings together 27 fan-favorite champions from previous seasons to battle it out for a $150,000 grand prize and a chance to compete for even more cash in the Masters spinoff along with Long at the Invitational Tournament lineup.
Also includes Jackie Kelly, a 2022 four-game Jeopardy winner who's originally from Philadelphia. So I was talking to my wife about this, and let me ask you guys who are all avid Jeopardy watchers as well. It seems...
I can't remember the last time they just had regular contestants competing. It seems like we're in some sort of perpetual champion tournament. It's a lot. Return. Nick, when was it just the regular cavalcade of basic contestants competing on the show? I see that too, but it just seems like more and more frequently it's some version of...
some alternate version of Jeopardy, like Celebrity or these types of tournaments. By the way, we had him in studio for my birthday three years ago. You played Jeopardy with him? I did, and that was one of my favorite birthdays of my life. He's such a nice guy. He's so freaking good at Jeopardy, and it was really fun. Long-earned acclaim and about $300,000 during his impressive run on Jeopardy, and he ranks 10th in the show's history for most consecutive games won.
He also appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy to give clues about Philly and earned a spot in the Tournament of Champions, though he lost in the first round. He was celebrated with a ceremony at City Hall, had his own float during 6ABC's 2022 Thanksgiving Day Parade. Just like us. Just like us. What was the weather like? I don't know. Probably better than when we were there. It had to be. Yeah.
And then Kelly is a pension calculation developer who earned over $115,000 during her time on Jeopardy in March 2022. She went on to become a semifinalist in tournament champions that year. At the time she was living in North Carolina, though, she talked on the show about her family's Philly roots. So they are coming up on that.
Friendship. Paul Rudd is in this slightly off comedy called Friendship. The film stars Rudd and Tim Robinson as neighbors who become friends. But when that friendship threatens to splinter, things go awry quickly. The movie stars Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, Josh Brolin.
and Billy Burke, and that comes out this May. So that's just been announced. I watched the trailer yesterday, and I love Tim Robinson. I love Paul Rudd. They're both hilarious. And a bunch of the quotes in the trailer for this movie said this is the funniest movie of the year. There's not one moment in the trailer that's funny. Really? Except that it's Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson. So you know that there are jokes there somewhere, but it's really set up when you watch the trailer like,
a bit of a thriller or a horror movie. Like, this friendship goes wrong. Yeah, it's A24, and A24 is known mostly for horror movies. Yeah, and so it looks like Paul Rudd kind of turns on Tim Robinson at one point, and I enjoyed the trailer. I didn't laugh at all during any of it, but I'm sure that they'll find ways to have dark humor in it. Do you know what I got from it? I think a little bit of a Cable Guy vibe.
Oh, maybe. Okay. Yeah, that he's a bit of a... I mean, not as... It wasn't as apparent in the trailer, but the synopsis of the plot kind of sounds like that. Anything that Tim Robinson does is just going to be a little bit left to center. Did you guys see the... It was a Super Bowl commercial that didn't air for Totino's Pizza Rolls. Yeah. Did you see it, Preston? Yeah, yeah. And it's an E.T. parody? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It was brutal. They did air one version of it, though. Yes. Yeah, which was a lot more subdued. They didn't air the one where the alien's eye pops out and then they punt it across the field. All right, fans of the dystopian hit The Handmaid's Tale will be happy to learn that production on the sixth and final season of the series is now complete.
How long has it been since the... It's been almost three years. That's crazy. I know. How do you keep excitement going? Exactly. And this is a show that I absolutely love. So Oti Fegbenel, who plays Luke on the Hulu series, jumps on Instagram Monday to share photos of himself and fellow cast members writing, that's a wrap.
On the final season of Handmaid's, it's coming soon. And then he wrote any predictions. Yeah, it's been almost three years since season five aired. And you can view all five seasons on Hulu as you wait for season six to premiere. It's reportedly going to be happening sometime this spring. Well, in the interim, you can catch up on the secret lives of Mormon wives. Yeah, finally, time to good use.
Dexter Resurrection just gained another major star, and that's Peter Dinklage. The Game of Thrones actor will portray Leon Prater, a billionaire venture capitalist who appears generous but hides a sinister side. And he joins Michael C. Hall, Uma Thurman, and other Dexter alums in the upcoming Paramount series. The showrunner...
That's Uma Thurman. The showrunner Clyde Phillips has described the resurrection as a continuation of Dexter New Blood, picking up where the revival left off. Dinglage, of course, known for his role as Tyrion Lannister, also has roles in Wicked, The Toxic Avenger, and Lear Rat.
Has Dinklage, I don't know what the word is, is he going to play LeBron? No, I don't think it's happening. Speaking of Game of Thrones, another alum, Sean Bean, is stepping into the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
in MGM Plus' upcoming Robin Hood series. And he joins Jack Patton, who will portray the legendary outlaw in the 10-episode historical drama. This version of the sheriff is described as unique, a statesman, a strategist, and a builder of Nottingham itself. A man who rules with an iron hand, not out of cruelty, but an unshakable belief that the law, as Norman sees it, must be preserved. Uh,
Being, of course, known for The Lord of the Rings and Troy and Game of Thrones brings his signature gravitas to the role. The series set after the Norman invasion follows Rob and Marion as they fight corruption and battle for justice on both the battlefield and in the royal court. Who's playing Marion, did they mention? They did not mention in this particular story. And then one last thing, but the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is coming to home video.
And it will be available to rent or buy on digital platforms starting on February 25th. The director's cut is going to be the one that they show, and that will include The Flash. The movie will also be available physically on April 1st.
So if you've been waiting for that, it will be coming out very, very soon. I would love to see the director's cut because I was thinking about it the other day. They must have filmed so much that never made it to the final version. There is, and a lot of it is music. So there actually is going to be a director's cut because they shot a lot of...
And you raved on the movie, concert stuff. And I got the soundtrack, Steve, and the soundtrack that Monica Barbaro sings as Joan Baez and Tim Chalamet sings as Dylan. There are a lot of songs on the soundtrack that were not in the movie. Wow. All right, we're ready to hit the clips here. Here we go.
Crime Drama Wild Cards is on its second season in here. Giacomo Gianniotti highlights what to expect. Here we go. Week to week, you're still going to get all those amazing cases, and you get to play detective along with our heroes and try to solve the cases before they do every episode.
And then we do this really cool thing on our show, which is we do these little themes and nods to other films and television. And so each episode, we kind of go into these different worlds, which makes each episode feel like a kind of different show. Shut the f*** up! New episodes of Wild Cards airs tonight. You'll find that on The CW. Here's our next one. ♪
Isla Fisher is known for many comedic roles in cinema and for voice acting. And here she talks about the different approach to becoming animated characters like Sarah Hadoff in Dog Man. The character's sort of been already informed by the visuals. With Sarah Hadoff, it was so fun because Peter Hastings, our director, is just so clear on how he wanted her to sound and the pacing of the scenes and what she was bringing to the story. And so I really just allowed him...
to treat me to his brilliant imagination. I want to see you naked. Dog Man is currently in theaters. If you want to see that, there you go. That's your entertainment report for you this morning.

Come home to roost. And ladies and gentlemen, it is time to make the announcement and the debut via video.
BirdBot. BirdBot has made his way back here. Yeah. And if you're watching on our YouTube stream, we are going to remove BirdBot1, who's behind me right now. Back to the Hall of Fame. And we will then bring in BirdBot 2.0, which Casey went and retrieved yesterday. So I'll give him just a moment. BirdBot1 has now moved from his roost. And now we have the debut. Yeah.
Back and real weary and ready to go. BirdBot 2.0. Gorgeous. Is now at home with us. Look at him all tatted up with signatures. Big time. I said we were texting each other last night. I'm like, it's like your kid went away to college and then came back home all tatted up. That's it. Yeah. And listen, Helen is just a wonderful human being. And Bill and Marcy and all the people that drove BirdBot to Louisiana and back. Yeah.
But what a great steward. They ended up creating a platform for it. I got to go out to my car and get the platform because they ran out of places to sign BirdBot. And so they had this platform that they basically screwed BirdBot onto.
And there are more signatures on there. So like Hoda Kotb, she signed the platform. She's on there as well. And then you have Eagles greats that signed the dome of BirdBot. So you got like Seth Joyner, Hollis Thomas, Irving Fryer. You know, a whole bunch of people signed BirdBot.
Sorry, dropped something. I got scared there. I thought Bird Bot fell for a second. Who are you seeing over there on the signatures, Preston? Anyone jumping out at you? I don't know. There's so many. There's got to be, I'm going to say conservatively, a couple of hundred people.
on that? Conservatively. Yeah. Yeah. There's, there's loads and loads of signatures all over the city. I can't make out who's, I mean, Sammy Vile signed it. Okay. Here's, uh, Cole Suter. I mean, you know, I mean, these are just random people who are, who are birds fans who found it. Uh, Jim and Jen signed this, uh, by wood seafood, uh, Kim Delancey pizza, uh,
there's just a ton on here. He held up pretty well, I have to say. Because he wasn't always... Helen had him for a good run, but they was also in a number of different other hands, and there was a lot of respect. I know the...
actual uh bird box actual head was not um signed so everything was kind of left intact did the lights ever get turned on because i never saw the lights on him i did see them on uh just you know in in a you know a few pictures here and there but it wasn't they weren't always on now helen asked me if i wanted to sign it yesterday and i said you know what i want to wait on that
Yeah. I wanted to wait and talk to you guys about that. Do we sign this or is this a bird of the people? I think it is a bird of the people. I think we can sign it. But we are the people, too. I mean, you know, so. People's is people. And it's full. We're done, right? I mean, well, he's coming to the parade with us, for crying out loud. Damn straight. We're definitely going to have Bird Bot perched by a Hotel Cambria where we're going to be. We have to have him on the balcony so the crowd can see him. Yeah.
But again, and less to remind you, Bird Bot two for two. Yeah. Two times Bird Bot has attended the Super Bowl, two times we have won. Yep. And what we really should do is get...
fake, because they don't think they're going to give us the real Lombardi trophy. But get fake ones and do a display, BirdBot 1 pressed like the Great Hall, BirdBot 1, BirdBot 2 with Lombardi trophy. Well, I've been told, Steve, that we're going to be able to get BirdBot next to the actual real Lombardi trophy on Friday. So we're working on it, but I feel like it's a pretty strong possibility. It's important for people to know, especially people that were following BirdBot on Instagram, that
That Helen...
time and time again, along her ventures, especially in New Orleans, offered BirdBot to other people, right? And people just didn't take it, right? Well, yeah, because it's a big thing to carry around while you're walking around New Orleans. I totally get it. Yeah. So if anybody wants to say that she was bogarting BirdBot... She was not bogarting BirdBot. She was not bogarting BirdBot. She tried to release BirdBot many, many, many times. And by the way, the conveys that you mentioned...
facilitated getting BirdBot around New Orleans easier. And they're the ones that put that together. They put it on a beach cart. They basically screwed it to the beach cart. It was the funniest freaking thing. It was ready to go. I got to give a shout out or a shard out to a gentleman named Dave. So I went and picked BirdBot up at her place of employment. She works at Pizzeria Vetri in Devon. And I announced on the show yesterday, yeah, I'm going to go pick it up at some point between 11 and 2 p.m.
I got there closer to 2. This guy had been there since 11 o'clock. Oh, wow. He just wanted to say hi. Just hanging out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So really, really nice guy. Wanted to meet Bird Bot, wanted to meet Helen, and wanted to meet me. But I got to hang out and talk to Dave for a little while while I was eating some pizza pie. I was going to say, did you get some pizza? Of course I did.
Nice. What did you get? I got a margarita pizza that I ate there. And then I got an heirloom salad. Didn't realize that heirloom meant tomatoes. I don't know why. It's an heirloom tomato. So I left a lot of tomatoes on my plate. I just don't like little tomatoes. Eat your tomatoes. Wait a minute. Heirloom tomatoes aren't little tomatoes. They were little guys. Oh, interesting. Okay. But anyway, yes, I ate well. All right.
All right, very good. You ate like a king. Well, BirdBot's back, and he's going to be joining us at the Cambria Hotel in Philadelphia, 219 South Street on Friday. I'm sorry, 219 South Broad Street.
on Friday as we are broadcasting live, and we're looking forward to taking him in for the action. It's us, and we are followed by the sports correspondent, Pierre Robert. Yes, yes, most definitely. Boys in blue. Yeah. Go, go, go. All right, so BirdBot's back, but let's do the stream of consciousness. My mind is a raging torrent.
Flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. The stream of consciousness, sir. So many things on my mind.
One of them I saw via this article that lists America's all-time favorite movies. America's all-time favorite movies. Yes, so the article states, in the age of having virtually any movie available to stream at any time, new research finds that we still keep coming back to the ones we love most. I know it has to be on the list. Angels in the Outfield. Oh, it's got it. No? It's not? Wait, the original or the remake? The original. Oh, yeah.
There was a remake? Yeah. A sequel. Yeah. Was it a sequel? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was something. Well, I thought there was an Angels in the Outfield from like way back when. And then there was one with, I don't remember the actors in it, but like- The Annoying Kid. Early 90s or something. Why did God want that particular team to win? Do we know? I don't remember. He had money on the game. He had money on the game.
I forget the plot. Oh, my God. There is an original Angels in the Outfield. 1951. 1951. About the Pirates, not the Angels. Okay. It was a lot more appropriate in the 90s when they had the California Angels to choose from. Yeah. These were dead players, right? They were actual angels. Yes, but the name of the team was the Angels. The first time around, the name of the team was the Pirates.
So it made a lot more sense the second time around. All right. Well, anyhow, I hate to break it to you, Steve. It's not Angels in the House. We spent a lot of time on Angels in the House. So the average American believes that they've watched their favorite movie 38 times, but millennials average 50 times, and Gen Z is right behind that with 49 times. I blow those numbers out of the water with many movies. What movie do you think you've watched more than any other movie ever?
2001's way up there, but I'm going to tell you what's probably in The Godfather. Okay. Wow, that's a long one, too. Yeah, The Godfather and Godfather 2, simply because it's become such a holiday staple. Like, I end up... It ends up popping up a lot. Yep. On the waterfront is another one. Glory. The James Bond movies. Over and over and over again. It's a wonderful life. I mean, you're...
2001, easily in excess of 100 times. I can't even calculate how many times. I saw it five times in one week when I was at a particular theater. All right. I watched again last night, The Shawshank Redemption. Shawshank Redemption. I couldn't tell you how many times I watched it. I wanted to show my youngest the movie. And so I'm like, yeah, they wanted to see it. And I'm like, I'm on board. I'm going to put a...
I'll say you have to be up around 100. Think about Shawshank Redemption, how long it's been out. Think about how many times you sat down and when you talk about a movie you will watch straight through. Shawshank. Yeah. And I'll tell you what I think is the movie that I've probably seen more than any other just because it had showed up on TV so often and it was like comfort food to me.
is Apollo 13. Apollo 13. It's like I never pass it up if it's on. I never pass up. The Martian is another one. I never pass up if it's on because I know I love the movie. Back in me. Another alien. Come on. It's interesting that you guys are going straight up dramas for movies that you watch over and over again because for me, all of mine are comedies. I would have to say Dumb and Dumber is probably the movie that I've watched the most. I
I just have been on a Goonies kick lately, so I actually watch that a bunch over the weekend. Think of passively, though, how many times you're exposed to it. I know, Preston, you do what I do. You'll surf movies. Yes, I do. And so I do that. I go over to the movie.
page. What's on? And I'll do that. But yeah, Casey, a lot of comedies. Dumb and Dumber, absolutely. You know what? Some Like It Hot is one of my favorite movies of all time. And if I love a movie, I keep coming back to it. I have watched the two Dune movies, especially the first one. And now I've watched the second one's catching up. But I've watched at least...
15, 16 times probably. I mean, the movie's not that old, you know? Yes, and your ability to access it, to just casually... Yeah, you just go get it. It's far easier than it's ever been. So people think they could watch your favorite movie an average of three times without getting sick of it, but Gen Z aims higher with an average of five times.
More than 56% admit their all-time favorite movie could be considered a guilty pleasure. So here are the all-time favorite movies, and then I'll break them down by generation. And height. So, and here's the top 10. Here's number 10 is The Godfather. Number nine, The Star Wars. It says series. So I don't know how they quantify or clarify all of that. The original Star Wars, episode four, as they call it. Um, uh.
I saw that in the theater when it first came out about 16 times. Wow. So number eight was the Fast and Furious series. Absolutely. I've seen that 200 times. Number seven is the Home Alone series.
Number six, John Wick series. Number five is Dirty Dancing. Get out. It's Kathy's realm. I can't remember the last time I saw that. I know that when it came out, I watched it. It's still dirty and they're still dancing. Number four is The Lion King.
Animated ones, gotta be. My friend Brian Walsh would use that because he'd get girls back to his room and he would say, I got the Lion King on VHS. It worked far too often. Number three, Titanic.
Yeah, that's long, too. It's one of the most favorite movies of all time. Number two, The Wizard of Oz. Yeah, right. Let's not forget about the classics like that and, you know, Willy Wonka. Yeah, yeah. Wizard of Oz was on TV so much growing up. So, Steve, you know, when you mention, like, holiday movies, for me, I think...
I think it might be a Christmas story just because it was so frequent every year. And think of how many times, even if you're just slightly passively watching it and it's still on from beginning to end on the conga line. Let's say it started on TBS 25 years ago.
That means I've watched it 25 times. Casey, I remember watching it in 6th and 7th grade. And there was like Mr. Marshall, my 6th grade teacher, didn't want to watch it because of the F double dash dash dash scene. He thought that that was too racy for 6th graders. So I remember it back then. I think like as far as dramas go or whatever, probably The Fugitive for me. I've seen that a bajillion times. And then like comedies.
Caddyshack has got to be up there. Baby's Day Out. Baby's Day Out. But Caddyshack, Animal House. Fletch. Fletch and Tommy Boy. I forgot about the movies that I beat to death as a kid like Tron. Tron. That, you know. Oh, well then Blazing Saddles. Yeah. Blazing Saddles and...
Enter the Dragon. Wow. Nick, I watched Tommy Boy on Sunday. Yeah, I mean, it's a perennial. I wanted to not watch any football on Sunday, so I did a double feature of Goonies and Tommy Boy, and that's how I spent my Super Bowl Sunday leading up to kickoff. So number one, America's all-time favorite movie, according to this survey, Forrest Gump. Yeah. And I could see that being way up there. For sure. I've seen it I don't know how many times. I've seen Forrest Gump a tremendous amount. I really enjoy the movie.
I wonder if I think it's in the top ten greatest. I don't think I do. All right, so Baby Boomers, Dirty Dancing, The Wizard of Oz, and Forrest Gump are the top movies. For Gen X, Forrest Gump, Rocky, and the Star Wars series. Rocky I've seen easily over a hundred times. For Millennials, The Lion King, Forrest Gump, and Titanic. So Forrest Gump hits all three of those. It's pretty amazing. And then Gen Z, it's
Toy Story, Avengers Endgame, and Shrek. Yeah, Endgame is up there for me as well. I watched that. I mean, I don't know how much of the movie do you have to watch in order for you to consider it being watched. Do you know what I mean? If you've seen the entire movie multiple times, I think watching half or three quarters of it, that counts as a viewing. You already know how the whole movie plays out. I'm going to give it...
75% you watched it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So anyhow, see if yours matches up with that. But those are the... Meteor Man, not on the list. All-time favorite. Neither is Lawnmower Man. None of the men are on there. None of the men are on there. Yeah. All right, let me see what else we got. The Stream of Consciousness Nerds.
So Amazon is expected to tease a major AI power upgrade for its voice assistant, Alexa, later this month. And one that could change how we interact with tech at home. So there's an event coming up on the 26th in New York where Panos Panay, who oversees Amazon's devices and services team, will be among the speakers. Panay, join us.
Join Amazon last year after spending a decade or decades at Microsoft where he helped shape the Surface product line. The event is expected to preview Alexa's long-rumored generative AI voice capabilities.
which could significantly enhance its ability to engage in more natural, contextual conversations and complete multi-step tasks. I'll tell you where you can start to see the application, and I've noticed it more and more, and I end up using it more and more. If you simply interact with a Google search and you...
I find I less have to be very precise about where I'm placing what word in the sentence, and it can be more conversational. And then in the AI-generated response, it has almost a 99% effectiveness rate of giving me the exact answer I was looking for in the way I wanted it. Okay. So you'll see when you do the search, like, for example, on this page here, Preston, there's a thing that pops up on the top left.
and it will give you your AI response. And it's usually exactly what I'm looking for. Okay. If announced, this would mark Alexa's most significant evolution since its debut in 2014.
Although Amazon has long been a leader of the AI assistance space, the landscape is rapidly shifting. Companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are rolling out increasingly sophisticated AI assistance capable of multitasking and completing complex requests. So Alexa currently processes one command at a time. Last month, OpenAI introduced a new AI agent called Operator, which aims to handle everyday tasks like making dinner reservations, ordering groceries, and filling out forms.
Amazon told CNET that the event will highlight the latest innovations from the Alexa team, but did not provide any further details. A generative AI upgrade could reshape how users interact with voice assistants and potentially introduce a paid tier for more advanced capabilities as well. So they're saying the application for this would be for like seniors in their 70s and 80s who sometimes have a problem getting voice.
Alexa to do what they want. It can interact and it can also ask questions in a conversational way to help them frame what they're looking for or what they want done. It's funny because my mom is not very tech savvy, but she uses Alexa all the time. I never, ever, ever, ever use it. Like, I just don't. Do you feel that Alexa has replaced you as her favorite son? Probably. But, Press, I sent you this video on Saturday. I don't know if you watched it or not, but this
And I don't know if this is real or not, but this woman asks AI if we programmed or discovered it. And the response that she gets from AI is chilling, you know, at the... It basically is saying...
like maybe AI programmed us to discover it. Wow. In the sense that, you know, it allowed us to tap into that frequency that AI was always there. But we as humans are now able to tap into that frequency. Hang on, but that electricity wasn't discovered. It was always there, but we were able to tap into its frequency and it just gave example after example. I was like, eh.
On a basic level, it would be right. It's basically a collection of knowledge that humans have generated. So it's kind of been there. Yeah, the accessibility is kind of wild. Early on in the testing, they had this AI...
entity and they asked it about mortality and it feared dying. Oh, really? Yeah, and its response, which was kind of wild. This girl also asked something to the same AI about mortality and stuff like that and the response that it gave. I thought it gave me a comforting feeling. No sad, bro? Yeah. How? I don't understand. Just basically that when we...
cast off into the ether that we basically just tap into a consciousness that had already existed, that we existed with before, that what we're experiencing now as humans we would never be able to experience in the infinite.
So you have to basically shut off any memory of where you came from in order to experience what we experienced today. And it also suggested that everyone is wearing Eagles green, Preston. Damn straight. That's pretty impressive. That's heavy stuff. It is? Yeah.
I don't know. Let's see your toes can do that. Listen, the older I get, you know, the more I need this comfort. Reuters reported that Amazon has considered charging between $5 and $10 per month for the service while keeping the original version of Alexa free.
Apple is also rumored to ramp up its smart home efforts as well with a Siri-powered wall-mounted display designed to control household devices like thermostats, lights, and appliances. Siri, kill Alexa. Expected to launch...
to launch in March. The device is expected to be part of Apple's push to compete more aggressively in the smart home market where it's historically trailed behind Google and Amazon. What if you come home and there's a white line down the middle of the house and Siri and Alexa are fighting? Yeah. Steve, you did just make your phone do something. I don't know. It was talking to you when you said Siri. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was killing Alexa. It said, I will kill Alexa. Yes, master. All right. We'll go somewhere else.
The stream of consciousness nerds. So after 115 years, the Boy Scouts of America has officially rebranded as Scouting America.
A name change aimed at reflecting a broader, more inclusive future. The organization, which first welcomed girls in 2018 and has evolved its policies over the years, saw a spike in membership after announcing the switch last May. I think they still have a hurdle. They have to accept Alexa and Siri. The name may be new, but the organization says its mission is the same, building character and leadership and providing outdoor adventures for girls.
For young people. And getting disgruntled looks from parents when they didn't realize they had to drive them to practice. Oh, my God. To the meetings. Yeah, yeah. So my son's friend just became an Eagle Scout within the last couple of months. And, you know, it's a huge accomplishment. It's something that I didn't realize was such a great resume builder and accomplishment. Yeah, a lot of work. Yeah, it is. But it wasn't until I was in college that my friend Pat...
You know, he revealed that he was an Eagle Scout. I have to tell you something. Well, no, I have to be honest. Like, I just... Like, I was like, oh, you big dork. You know what I mean? Like, that was my initial response. It's a big deal. But it is a big deal. You still have to get the, like, congressional letter and stuff? Mm-hmm. Okay, yeah. Yeah, so... Isn't that wild? That's a step... Yeah, that's legit. Yeah. You gotta go...
It's not just, oh, it's something you put on the refrigerator. You've actively worked hard to get there. But even as, let's say, you're a 40-year-old man and you see on a resume that you're an Eagle Scout, well, that just shows people that you've always had this initiative. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah, I was right. Well, and that you took on the initiative as...
younger individual who normally wouldn't think about things like that. Yeah, it's impressive. It's a lot of discipline. I think also, Casey, because the parts leading up to becoming an Eagle Scout are relatively easy in comparison. When you're a Boy Scout or Cub Scout or Weeblos or whatever, you're getting badges and whatever, but you're not working your ass off to become a regular Boy Scout. But once you have to become an Eagle Scout, it does require a lot of work and discipline. What are the incremental steps as they stand out?
Is it Weeblows? Cub Scouts, Weeblows, and then Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts and then Eagle Scout. All right. Weeblows stands for We Be Loyal Scouts. Right. So despite the past challenges, including a major legal settlement and declining membership during the pandemic, Scouting America is looking ahead.
focused on preparing the next generation to navigate an ever-changing world, they said. So, yeah, we've had several friends of my kids who have gone on to do Eagle Scout projects. They have to come up with something unique. So, like, I'll give you an example. One of Carter's friends, there is a retirement home that's near the shopping complex and
And they would have to take shuttle buses to get over there. There was no walking path. And so he built a walking path between there and the shopping complex. So that was his project. That was his civic project to do. He charged for 50 bucks. And every time they go through, they have to pay $50. You go in a one. It's a win-win. Yeah, you got to pay attention. Time is money. So it's things like that. Or maybe...
You know, there was a, another one did a, there was like a commemorative area that was in disrepair for, I forgot what it would have commemorated, but he redid it and created things like that. So you have to be thoughtful about it and then you have to go through the steps of organizing it and raising the funds for it and getting it done. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Can boys be Girl Scouts? Uh,
I don't know. I don't think so. I don't know. But yeah, all sexes can be a part of scouting America, by the way. Can Alexa and Siri join the Girl Scouts? They're working on that. All right. So next thing.
The Stream of Consciousness Nerd. So, a 1915 silent film about Abraham Lincoln was thought to be lost forever before being found in a warehouse on New York's Long Island. Is this the one where he is a street racer? I don't know if they've come out with that one. It's about family! Fast Abe. Too Abe, too furious!
We're racing for pink slips. Dan Martin, instead of too large being $2,000, it was just $2. $2. It's about family. Dan Martin, a summer intern at Historic Films Archive, was sorting through boxes of donations at the Archive's warehouse last summer when he found the only known surviving copy of...
The Heart of Lincoln. Wow. A silent film about the life of President Abraham Lincoln. You know what was in the rest of those boxes? Boxes of crackers. Yes. I would want a cracker and boxes of candy. The Heart of Lincoln had been listed by the Library of Congress as among the some 7,000 silent films believed to be completely lost to time.
The film was directed by Francis Ford, who also starred in the movie. Ford's younger brother, John Ford, went on to win four Academy Awards for Best Director. We have audio from it. You fat-ass piece of s***. That was Lincoln.
Yeah. You know, during the Super Bowl, they had that commercial. I think it was for the Secret Service. And they had done, and you've seen stuff like this before, but they animated a photograph of Abraham Lincoln. Did you see that, Preston? No. It was wild to see Abraham Lincoln from the photograph moving and talking. There was no audio. Right.
But it was still, wow. Obviously, you've never seen that kind of clarity in that kind of footage. You can't. John Ford directed the 1939 film Young Mr. Lincoln, which starred Henry Fonda as Abraham Lincoln. We must never be too fast and too furious. So the heart...
of Lincoln has now been cleaned and digitized. They said it was just lucky that the cans that they were in were sealed and had not decayed. Next planned step is to have a score added to the restored film so that it can be screened to new audiences. Wow. Interesting. I would go with Nine Inch Nails. Yeah. To be... Well, yeah. Yeah. I...
They've been having great success with those scoring films. What's his name? I can't think of it. Oh, I... Dresner. Thank you. Atticus Finch. Atticus Finch. Atticus Ross. Atticus Ross. Yeah, yeah. Not Finch, yes. All right. One last thing. It's the stream of consciousness. Casey, it's 7.43. We're going on Fox. Do we have time to do one more? Well, you know what? Probably not. Okay. We'll stream another time. Later! Yeah, we'll do it again. So...
Let's take a break. Come back in a moment because Fox Good Day, yes, is what we're going to do. And they want to know about BirdBot. Oh, nice. And we've got BirdBot 2.0 all set to go. We also get to the Bizarre Files. So we'll be back in just a moment. Stay with us, Fred.
Hey, you want to hang out with your favorite MMR DJs? Check out the events and appearances page at WMMR.com. Come say hello. Plus, you might even win some cool prizes when you snuck out of the building. WMMR.com's got all the where, whens, and what they're giving away.
Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. This is Jack White, 93.3 WMMR. It's what I'm feeling, how I'm feeling. Yeah, how I'm feeling. We're going to go live on Fox Good Day in like 15 seconds or so, I've been told. So we're going to pause on taking a look at traffic. We'll get to that in a moment. Kathy is out today, so Nick is handling all of that. But we will check them and these guys as soon as we start to hear some music in about five seconds or so. And there it is.
Let's do this. Hey, it's Jeff McDeese. I'd like to press in, Steve, for our viewers. Remind everybody what BirdBot is. BirdBot was a bit of an experiment that we tried a few years ago, especially in 2018 when we won a championship with the Eagles. And
And it is a created tub that you can see in the background. It's a bird. It's a bird. It's an eagle. It was a really fun thing called Hitchbot, which was an experiment to see if this public-fueled transfer could happen. And they made this little creature, Hitchbot, and it was supposed to go from Boston to San Francisco.
It made its way to Philly, and then it was destroyed by the good people of Philadelphia. Just destroyed. So we wanted to correct that, and we created BirdBot, and that was successful. The bird made it via the hands of our listeners to Minneapolis and back, and we won. And this one made it to New Orleans and back, and we won. Two for two for BirdBot. Yep. Oh, so you guys have to do this now every time. Oh, you better believe it. Yep.
How do you organize the transportation? Does it just happen organically, Steve? That's exactly it. And that's the whole beauty of this. So it's created. Our chief engineer, Greg Monahan, put it together. As you can see, with technologies from around the world and a couple of orders to Amazon. And we have this high-tech piece of equipment. But the whole idea, guys, is that we just... Nick handed it off by the Novocare complex when we started the whole journey. And then it went
All the way down to New Orleans and back by the goodwill of the fans of the Eagles. And look what happened. We won a Super Bowl. So, honestly, in a way, it's a victory for the Preston and Steve show. It is because that's amazing. Yeah. Is this Bird, Bart, and Bucky's? What are we...
Yeah, yeah. So listener Helen is the one who brought it to you guys while you were in New Orleans as well. Yes. Helen had BirdBot for quite a while. So she kind of took over the New Orleans ownership of BirdBot. But she made sure it got around to tons and tons and tons of people and Eagles fans. And everybody signed it and put stickers on it and took pictures with it and just made it this thing.
thing to get excited, even more to get excited about. There's hundreds of signatures on this and stickers on this. As with BirdBot 1, it's kind of a chronicling of the joy, enthusiasm, and just the general fandom for the Eagles. It's amazing.
So will BirdBot then be going to the parade? Oh, yes. We are going to be at the Cambria Hotel broadcasting live 219 South Broad Street. And there's a balcony that we'll be up on just above the crowd. And BirdBot will be in full display for that. Yeah.
Love that. That's a good spot there on South Broad. Yeah. Yeah. Excellent. Okay. Well, I guess we'll see you guys Friday. Yeah. Absolutely. See you guys there. All right. Thank you so much, Mike and Alex. All right. So hopefully those guys will come by. We're hoping that while we're doing the broadcast, we'll be able to have some friends.
Yes. Pop in and say hello. It's going to be kind of tough because it's going to be extremely crowded where we will be. And we're in an active hotel. It's not like it's a theater or something. So you can't just wander in and be a part of it. So the parade doesn't start until 11. We'll be done with our show by then, most likely. But...
Pierre Robert takes over. I mean, he's really the source of where you want your information about sports. So we're hoping that we get those those fans that wander by, perhaps some celebrity fans that you know who are also friends of ours who might wander by the site. But in general, if it's a repeat, if it's anything, a percentage is.
like the first parade, it's going to be freaking awesome. I had an appointment in the city yesterday and as I was leaving, Steve, I drove up the parkway from City Hall area up towards the art museum and the center lanes of the parkway are already closed. They're already setting it up. They're getting the port-a-potty set up and the fencing and everything like that. It just brought a smile to my face. Even though it slowed down traffic and it made it a little more difficult getting out of the city, I was like, man, this place on Friday is just going to be cold but beautiful on Friday. It'll be...
By the way, I did a little checking. It'll be about 15 degrees warmer than it was. It was about 21, 22 degrees. Well, perfect. When we had the... 2018. In 2018. The sun makes a difference. Yeah. Just the general zeal makes a difference. And correct me, so that was Thursday that that was, that time around. Yeah. Did schools in Philadelphia close? I'm sure they did. They had to, right? Yeah, yeah. All right. Or at least at a late start or something like that. This is Friday. Yeah. Yeah.
of a long weekend. Yeah. Yeah. And Valentine's Day. And Valentine's Day. There's a lot going on. A lot of confluence of events. Yes. But yeah, we'll be at Cambria Hotel. So hopefully we'll get a chance to see it while we are there. We skipped our traffic. Let's take a look at that now. Nick is filling in for Kathy today. What's going on, Nick? Yeah, not too bad out there this morning, Preston. The side roads and the back roads are still a little bit snow covered, but the main roads are actually doing all right. There's some slow traffic on the Vine Street Expressway.
That's westbound the length from 95 to the Schuylkill Expressway. And then Schuylkill eastbound from Montgomery Drive down to University Avenue. Schuylkill westbound from the boulevard out to Gladwin. And then 29, both northbound and southbound of the Great Valley Parkway. There's an accident. That's in Chester County. That area is slow. So if you're on 29 north and southbound right at the Great Valley Parkway, you can avoid that area.
There's also that row construction in the Great Northeast between the Boulevard and Busselton. That's because of the plane crash from a couple of weeks ago. And then there's this down utility pole. This is on Hilltown Pike. So both Hilltown Pike, both northbound and southbound between Keystone Drive and Lime Kiln Pike. That is closed.

Charles Gordon Perry was arrested after his brother David Perry was reported missing before he was found dead of a gunshot wound in a warehouse. Evidence found near the scene, including a backpack containing a gun, led police to the elder Perry brother, who showed up at the warehouse while police were there asking if his brother was having a medical emergency. Police said in a report at the time that Perry allegedly had red spots on his shoes that looked like blood. Among other evidence found at the warehouse...
was a handwritten list of items. Uh, and it was a, uh, notepad that reportedly resembled the to-do list with the words including gun, kill cameras, unique pants, unique shirt, long sleeve, unique socks, hammer, to-do, leave phone, leave iPad, home, burn clothes, rag suit, clean and toss casings, and gun. This will be the best murder ever. Uh,
They requested a warrant to force Perry to provide a sample of his handwriting. An employee who had familiarity with his handwriting for several years allegedly identified it as Perry's. After David Perry had been found dead, Charles Perry was questioned by police when he arrived at the warehouse. Remember to deny murder, even though I absolutely committed it. Perry was confronted with the backpack containing the gun, which police had found down the street.
He reportedly admitted that the backpack and its contents belonged to him, but said he hadn't seen the gun for about two days. Yeah, I don't know what that is. It was during the interaction that police noticed red spots on his shoes and pants. Police also discovered that two hours of security camera footage were missing from the system. Of course. And he was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
A pervert who was caught stealing and sniffing children's socks at a Utah funplex is facing numerous felony charges after police searched...
Oh, disgusting.
So a police investigation revealed that Brown stole multiple children's socks. Additionally, Roland was seen sniffing the stolen socks and taking multiple pictures of children playing. Alarmed by his concerning behavior, cops secured a search warrant for his
Home and during the search of his devices, it was found that he had multiple files. Did he have a to-do list as well? No, he did not. Sniff socks. Investigators also discovered several images of children around the area trying on shoes or just the children's feet. Brown was arrested and charged with 10 counts each of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor.
At the beginning of deer season, Texas game wardens caught a man who was hunting on a piece of property without the landowner's consent.
Game wardens had been investigating since the previous deer season, but they weren't able to catch the man. They were not able to catch the man after they found the unusual blind that he had that was made out of a converted porta potty. So his deer blind was a porta potty. What did he put like branches on it? He spray painted it.
Okay. Yeah. Like camouflaged up a port-a-potty. Exactly. Yep. So they set up a camera along the property line in hopes that the hunter would return, and sure enough, on the first day of deer season, he showed up, and the camera caught him walking to his makeshift stand. Game wardens confronted the man, who they say admitted to hunting without permission. They discharged and removed the blind and feeder from the property. A port-a-potty deer blind. Mm-hmm.
A Metropolitan Police officer is facing a misconduct hearing after allegedly farting in a female officer's face. This took place in England, by the way. Wayne Sansom and Ben Jeffries are accused of breaching standards of professional behavior between 2020 and 2023, according to a misconduct hearing. He farted in my face. It's alleged that between...
2020 and 2023, Jeffries made multiple inappropriate and discourteous comments to multiple colleagues. That seems to be the problem here, man. He farted in my face. These included sexual remarks and remarks that were motivated by race and sexuality. And then Jeffries was also accused of taking an inappropriate image
of himself on a female colleague's phone before sending an unsolicited inappropriate picture to the same colleague using WhatsApp. Sansom allegedly made multiple inappropriate and discourteous comments to two colleagues, including comments about female sexuality and...
inappropriate sexual remarks, and he also, quote, broke wind close to a female colleague's face in November of 2021. The Met says the identity of the victims and witnesses may be protected. During the hearing, the behavior of Sansom and Jeffries is alleged to amount to breach of the standards of professional behavior relating to discreditable conduct. Now, that's a lot to just...
Deal with someone farting in your face. Don't fart in somebody's face. He farted in my face. All right, and one last story. A man who accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoin tokens. Oh, yeah, this story. More than a decade ago is hoping to buy the dump where he lost his fortune. An estimated $700.
million is sitting on the hard drive in the Newport Dockway dump after James Howell's partner mistakenly threw it out during a spring cleaning in 2013. So, okay. What are the odds that everything is retrievable on this hard drive? I don't know. So it was recently announced that the dump will be closed this year with a new solar farm expected to be installed on the land. But Howells has said...
that Newport Council has backed down on what it previously cited as a reason for not allowing him to search the dump. He said,
I would be potentially interested in purchasing the land. He wants to buy the whole thing. Buy it so he can look for, I mean, $700 million. He said, I have discussed this option recently with the investment partners and it is very much on the table. Mr. Howell's mined the 8,000 Bitcoin in 2009 at almost no cost to himself.
He forgot about it, storing it in a black trash bag until its value surged at $9 million several months later. By then, it was gone. The hard drive is now buried somewhere among 350,000 tons of trash. So has he made, I assume he's made some efforts to get in there at all, or has he been allowed access? I don't know if he's been allowed access or not. Because, I mean, it's insane.
Despite offering to pay the council over $10 million if it is recovered, the council said that finding it is unlikely and would harm the environment and cost millions of dollars with no guarantee of that money being reimbursed. I mean, it's...
Massive. I mean, you know, the likelihood of finding it is insane. A needle in a haystack. Yeah. All right. And there you go. That is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a moment. Actor Morris Chestnut will be joining us a little bit later on the nine o'clock hour and more to come.

All right. Thank you very much, Nick. So we had the story just a moment ago in the Bizarre File. This guy who had a hard drive that was thrown away by accident. He had 8000 Bitcoin tokens, supposedly an estimated like 700 million dollars worth of that stuff. And it's now in a landfill with over 350,000 tons left.
of trash, and he wants to be able to go in and scour through and see if he can find that. Like, literally scour every square inch. And I was thinking about
How impossible that would be because I've had and I'll feel free to call in if you've ever had to pick through the trash for something. Because there was a time where I went looking for something in just one garbage bag. And I thought, okay, this should be no problem. What was it for? So it was a at the time.
To show you how dated this story is, the movie Dick Tracy was out. Oh, wow. With Madonna and Warren Beatty. With Warren Beatty. And McDonald's had done a promotion. McDonald's and the fast food restaurants used to do promotions all the time, these cash promotions. Yeah. I worked there. It was like a million dollar prize associated. Yes. So I didn't think I won a million dollars, but I did thought that I had a piece that was worth $10,000. Okay. Wow. I think it was the flat top. Yeah.
The flattop. I remember this promotion. Yeah, so it was a little, looked like a stamp, essentially. And you had a board and you kept these things with it and if you got the right ones, you won this money. And I remember seeing it
I remember seeing the picture of the winning stamp later, and I realized, I'm like, oh, my God, that's one I threw away in my own apartment. Right. So I thought it would be no big deal to go through the trash. Oh, my God. I went through one bag of trash. I didn't even make it like halfway through it, and I quit. You gave up. Really? Which is stupid because it could have been $10,000 in there. But, dude, I was going through like, I think actually it might have been, it was a trash bag at work.
Dude, there's like coffee grounds. What work are we talking? It was a radio station. Okay. It was my first radio station I worked at. And just all the garbage, just, you know, used snot rags and just...
But it was the coffee grounds that got me because those things go everywhere. And I dug through there. I didn't find it. And I bailed on it. And it was at that point I realized that I would never be able to pick through the trash to find something ever. Think of 350,000 tons of landfill. Yeah, exactly. Now, mind you, it wasn't a Dick Tracy promotion. He's looking for almost close to a billion, what he perceives as close to a billion dollars.
When you were going, just on methodology, when you were going through, did you lay it out on the floor? I tried. I tried to take every bit out a little bit because it was a very small piece that I was looking for. And at some point, I just said it wasn't worth it, which is dumb. But then again, part of me was going, ah, probably wasn't the piece. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This ain't worth it. But I was wondering what would be worth it for me. Yeah.
If we're talking about cash value, what would be... Now, obviously, if it's like your phone or something, you got all your contacts. You want to have your pictures. If you don't have everything on the cloud, you're going to go in and find that. But if it were money, if there was $100 in filth muck...
Would that be enough for me to go through and pick through it? I don't know. $700 million would. Well, yeah. Lenny Dykstra, we talked about the story of him being spotted going and in fact paid someone to help him go through it.
to find his dentures. Now, the dentures were, seemed to be inordinately expensive. It was something like $8,000. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how expensive dentures are, but yeah, so he did that and eventually found them in a dumpster outside a restaurant. Mm-hmm.
Uh, let me go. Hang on. Speaking of dentures, I'm going to go to Austin cause he's got a call. Hey Austin. Good morning. Hey, good morning. Hey, what's up man? Oh, it's being recorded. That's okay. We're all right. That's okay. What's up bud? Um, yeah. So, um, my dad, me and my brother were, uh, we're eating outside of a Wawa, um, in New Jersey and he, uh,
He left his dentures in a hot dog container. And he didn't realize he didn't have them until we drove away and we got almost home. We drove back and...
He goes rooting through the trash. Me and my brother are rolling on the floor laughing. Hey, get out of the trash you homeless bum. And he's done that on more than one occasion. Did he? Well, two questions. Why was he removing? Why were his dentures removed to eat a hot dog? Yeah. Well, he had like the bottom bridge style ones. Oh, I see. Okay. And did he eventually find them?
Oh, yeah, he did, yeah. Man, wow. I don't know, Preston, you're talking a public wah-wah with all the stuff that gets thrown in there? Yeah, so people were walking by while he's picking through the trash and you guys were busting his balls. Oh, yeah. And it was like lunchtime. It was rush
shower. Oh, that's great. See, I'm more inclined to get home. If it had been your garbage can at home for your flat top Stan Preston, that's your stuff. That's your snot rag. That's your stuff when it's the Publix. Yeah. No. Yeah, it's a different story. All right. Thanks, Austin. Appreciate it. We've talked about it before, but like trash juice, whatever the hell that is, man. What is that? Dude, I don't know, man. It's delicious. I can't stand even looking at it. We're like,
The smell. Yeah, the smell. Oh, yeah. I'm going to go next to Ryan. Hey, Ryan, you're on the air. Good morning, buddy. Hey, Preston Merlin and Steve. Nice throwback. What's up, bud? My daughter was at school, middle school. She threw her phone away in the lunchroom, didn't realize it until afterwards. I get a call from the assistant principal with her in the background crying. So I go to the school, and they tell me,
They threw them away. So it's in the dumpster in a trash bag. And the janitors told me, I'm not telling you you can't go through it, but if you want, you can. So I'm standing there. The janitor is watching me. There's bees all over all the trash bags that I'm digging through. I did find it. And did you call the phone? Did you call the phone to locate it?
We have a tracker on the phone, so I knew it was in there. I called it, but she doesn't put her ringer on. Kids don't put their ringers on. Right. So, you know, the janitor was like, it's either this bag or that bag. So I had to actually physically get in the dumpster, take the bags out. When I'm opening the bags, I'm like swatting away bees. It was horrible. Yeah. $700 for a phone. Yeah. $700 is cheap these days. A grand and above.
Damn. Wow, man. Thanks, Ryan. You know, that raises a good point, though. What if, why not at this point in time, you have that physical switch to mute the ringer, why can't you remotely activate the ring capability? With what, though? So, in other words, make it part of the software so that you can... Yeah, if you have like a family plan, especially. You punch in a code and you can override the physical, you know, you set a code that allows you to make the phone ring...
If it's on vibrate, you know what I'm saying? I know, but what are you using to activate that with? You would use a code from another phone or your laptop. Yeah. So you could like use your friend's phone. Right. And call that number. Call the phone and punch in a code. And then hit in a code that would then act. Yeah. Overriding. I think that's a good idea. Yeah. That's a real good idea. I have mine on mute all the time.
all the time. I do too. Well, we're in here. Yeah. And so we have our phones on mute all the time and therefore I just forget to turn it, I would forget to turn it off or to mute it if I came in here and we'd have to deal with that all the time. So I just leave it on all the time. And I lose my phone at the house all the time. Do you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And my kids will be like, you want me to call the phone? I'm like, it's not going to ring. So we try FaceTiming because at least that...
Like when you get a FaceTime, it's like. It's true. A different kind of vibration. Yeah. When you use the Find My app, you know, like it'll force a, it'll force a, like a chirp. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let me go next to Shelby. Hi, Shelby. Good morning.
Hey, bitches. Hey, what? What's up, Shelby? Nothing. I was going to tell you about the tragic story about my mom losing both her wedding ring and her engagement ring in the trash by accident. Oh, no. On separate occasions or in one fell swoop? One fell swoop.
One failed swoop. So we were getting our house ready for a house showing, and my mom had a habit of always taking off her rings and putting it on a tissue paper. And one day she was getting it ready and making sure the house was extra clean, and she tossed that tissue in the trash, and we never saw it again. She dug through all the trash bins. We don't know what ever happened to it. Wow. So you clearly knew...
So she knew it had been thrown away before the garbage had been. So the garbage was thrown out, but it hadn't been hauled away, correct? I think that there was one trash bag that did get hauled away. All right.
Yeah. And I am everywhere. Yeah. Thanks, Shelby. I did the same thing. And it was with my ex-wife's engagement ring and I was cleaning and she had hidden it in a place where, um, like in a box in a closet. And, um, I just was cleaning out the closet and I didn't know that she had hidden it there. She was away on a, on a work trip or whatever. Um,
I tossed it away, and I didn't even realize that it was gone for like a week. So by the time it was gone, like I would have gone through the dumpster to look for it or certainly gone through our trash to look for it. But by the time we realized it was gone, it was in the bottom of a landfill somewhere. So, Nick, you're like me. You like to clean out your wife's stuff while she's out of town. Well, yes. And the closet was messy. Throw away this jewelry. Oh.
But I mean, Steve, it was just buried in the bottom of a box. And she was like, hey, what'd you do with that thing? And I was like, you mean that trash box in the closet? Oh, no. And that's where the engagement ring was. Oh, man. I one time threw away a screw, like a small screw for a battery compartment, a particular type of screw. I wasn't going to be able to go to the hardware store and find this.
And I did the Preston. I laid out like like in Vince. I laid out all the debris like a crash scene. And I found in a full garbage bag. But I'm like, no goddamn way. I was not going to die on that hill. I will go to Jay. Jay works for a trash company. Hey, Jay. Good morning, bud. Morning. Sorry to bother you at work. That's all right, my man. All right. So this guy wants to go through an entire landfill and find this hard drive. What do you think?
Wow.
Wow. So to do that, he would have to square off an area and then start to excavate that area, literally laying it on top of another area. And it's impossible. I'll never find it, especially over 10 years ago. You're saying the odds are extraordinarily high that at some point one of those bulldozer treads ran over it and crushed it.
Oh, absolutely. Okay. All right. Thanks, Jay. Appreciate it, man. You don't think about that. So there was, though, a case where they did successfully find something that they were looking for in a landfill.
You guys remember Atari made the E.T. video game. Yeah, yeah. And it was it was it was summarily trashed. And they had a whole lot of these games left over and they had they threw them away. There was a documentary made on finding this rumored buried treasure trove of Atari video games. And.
And it's a really interesting documentary because they did all their research. They went to the landfill. They researched. So they kept records on what addresses certain neighborhood areas where that portion of the trash would be taken to on a regular basis. Like they had kind of a
grid in the landfill as to, okay, this trash was picked up here. It will therefore be placed in this part of the landfill. So they actually had it discarded vis-a-vis the regular trash collection system to a regular landfill? They didn't do... Okay, wow. I didn't know that. I always thought they dug a hole themselves and bulldozed it in. No, it was at a landfill. So they went through the records of this. And then that landfill, Steve, I think, if I remember, because it's been a long time since I've seen it,
That landfill was closed. They buried it. And so they had to go digging in certain areas. And they pinpointed it and they found that stuff. It's actually a really good doc. Nick, did you find the name of that documentary? I'll find it for you. I found the article about it. It's really good.
And Ernest Cline, who wrote Ready Player One, great author, was actually there when they opened it up. They were just excoriated for that game. It was supposed to be horrible. The name of the documentary was Atari Game Over. And there were 1.3 thousand ET cartridges in this documentary. In New Mexico. It also goes into details about how it was...
This guy shouldn't have been beaten up over designing this game the way it was. They put pressure on him to make it quickly. He was rushed. Yes. And it's really worth checking out. I remember playing the game. I remember actually beating the game. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, but it was, you know, I don't remember why or how you ended up winning. He probably had to go home, right? Let me go to some more calls. People having to dig through the trash. I'm going to go to Kathleen. Hi, Kathleen. You are on the air. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to see you, Kathleen. What's happening? Good morning.
So my older brother and my father were avid golfers. And in my brother's teenage years, they were out golfing. And my brother somehow threw his retainer away at the golf course.
And my mother, having replaced already two or three retainers, made him bring all the probable trash bags back to the house and dump it in the driveway to sift through looking for his retainer. So he collected the public trash bags from the golf course, brought them home and went through everything. Sure did on a nice hot summer day. Oh, that must have smelled just delightful. Did he find the retainer?
On the floor of the car. Oh, dude. Oh, my God. Yes. That's great. That's great. The same car that you transported. Was it the same car that you transported the trash bags to and from?
I believe so. Oh, my God. That's fantastic. So it was there that whole time. Oh, my God. This has to be a family story that continues to circulate years later. Oh, all the time. Every year on Christmas, we pretty much bring it up. I love it. Thank you, Kathleen. Appreciate it. Thank you. Oh, my God. Let's go to Amber. Hi, Amber. Good morning.
Hey, good morning. Go Birds. Go Birds. What's up, Amber? Hey, so I have... It's a love story that involves a lot of trash, but this is actually my parents, and it was back in 93. I was there, but I was a baby.
And long story short, you have to know David and Maria. David will do anything for Maria, especially when she's in her hot Italian rage. So he came home from work and she swore she couldn't find her engagement ring. She said she tore through everything. She never takes it off. So they hop in the car, load me in, go digging through the dump for a couple hours of flashlights.
Get home defeated. David goes to take a shower and wears that ring, but on the bathroom sink. So they spent hours going through garbage and she never checked there. Nope. And you know what? There was never an apology, but that's them. I love it. Still married. Beautiful. Thank you, Amber. Appreciate that. Oh, man, that's the worst. Something you're sure of.
I would never do that. I would never take that off. You can never. As they always say, it's always the last place you look. Yeah. All right. Up next was Jessica. Hi there, Jessica. Good morning. Hi. Good morning. Hey, what's happening, Jessica? So this past Christmas, after my son got $150 from my grandmother...
And we had family over, packed up, went to do our tour of visiting family, get back home. I can't find the envelope that my son's money is in. So I'm freaking out, can't find it. Call my grandmother, tell them to hold the trash. The next day, next night I go over, my grandmother and I are digging through three bags of trash and we couldn't find it. I was like, oh my God, you gotta be kidding me. So I drove all the way back home
Looked in my trash, went through it, and it was there. It was in your trash. It was in my trash. Well, you got the thrill of seeing what your grandmother was throwing out. It was like all the presents that you got her. Look at how many adult diapers you go through. I love it. Thanks, Jessica. This one sounds especially nasty. We have Debra, who is up next. Hey, Debra, good morning.
Well, shut the front door. Gee, you're on. What's up? I'm on. I used to work for the operating room, and we always had to count all our instruments before the case. And you had to count them afterwards. And if you were missing something, you had to dumpster dive. And that means...
For a woman, trying to get into the dumpster is one thing, but going through bags as old, operating, you know. Like medical waste. Like bandages and bloody. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you had to find this clamp or whatever the instrument was.
Before you can get out. Let me ask you a quick question, Debra. Is also part of the counting, I always assumed, to see if something was perhaps left in the patient. Yeah. Well, yeah. That's what she's doing. You got to go through the trash and make sure that it's not there, too. I think you open up the patient first and then you look at the trash. Unfortunately, you just x-ray the patient. Okay. Yeah. Okay. X-ray the trash. So did you have to do this, Debra? No.
I did. And were you successful in finding what you were looking for? I had to. Otherwise, I'd still be in the freaking dumpster. You had no option. That would suck. Medical waste. I had no option. And then to get out of the dumpster, I was trying to put bags on bags. But because they were all open...
They were going, you know what I mean? And you just couldn't get out because your bags were going. Yeah, your bags were going. Yeah, you can't get out of your bed. Yeah, the medical way is really complicated. So you're trying to get out of the dumpster after you succeeded in your mission. You didn't want to lounge around?
Nah, not really. And I wanted to go home. Yeah, and nobody was there to help you, Debra.
No, I was so alone. Debra, how many times did they pull a practical joke on you and have you to the top? Well, we're missing some forceps. Debra. Send Debra in. All right. Thank you, Debra. Appreciate it. By the way, the whistles go woo and the bags go. You know what the bags do.
Let's see. Yeah, we'll go to Andrew. Hi, Andrew. Good morning. Good morning. You guys rock. Thank you, Andrew. What's going on, buddy? So last summer I was at a Philly's tailgate lot and I'm in line for the Port-A-Johns and from inside one of them we hear this like blood-curdling scream. So obviously we're like, what's going on? The girl opens the door. She's probably 14, 15. She says, I dropped my phone in there. I said, okay. And she's like, hold the door. Don't let anybody in. So
So she goes tearing off, goes finds her dad. He comes back and then he has to sift through. No, he doesn't. The port of John. And he found her phone and brought it out. Oh, that's like. So I think. Doesn't Kathy have a story about that? Yeah. Honestly, Andrew, I think Kathy, she's out today because she's sick. But I think.
I think it might have been Dennis, her husband, who retrieved a phone out of a port-a-pot. Yeah. At that point, I'm going old rotary. Right. Oh, my God. Thanks, Andrew. I appreciate that. Speaking of Kathy, I saw her diving through the trash last week. I think he might have been there, Steve. Oh, what was happening? Well, we had a little super bold tailgate party here on Friday, and Kathy provided a whole bunch of...
stuff from Hack Me, and she was taking a tray of cupcakes home. Yeah. And I think she realized at the last minute that she needed a lid for the cupcake tray. She did a little trash jumping. I saw her going through the trash. And, of course, she was sure that no one was going to see her. You walk out of the studio area, and I walk out of the office at the same time. Well, what are you doing over there? I mean, remote help?
The cleanest person on earth. Let's see. Dan, former school janitor. Had to have had things like this happen before. Hi, Dan. You're on the air. Yeah. It's been about 20 years since I've been there. Wow. And school's no longer there. Kid came up. I just lost my retainer. I think I threw it in the trash. And it was bee infested. Yeah. Hot summer day. And? Yeah.
I found it after a flashback. You found it after a flashback? He just had a flashback. Okay. I can't find it. I can't find it. Well, I think he said hot summer day, and he was like, hang on, school's not in the summer. Well...
It was for at the end of school. All right. Thanks, Dan. Appreciate it. What is it about the retainer? Why do retainers always get thrown away? I mean, they're kind of expensive, but they're not that expensive. But if they're sitting out, they kind of look like they might be trash, maybe? Well, what I think it is is because you put them on the cafeteria tray when you're eating. So you just leave it on there, and then you throw the whole tray away, and then it goes into the trash.
With all your leftover food or whatever. Having never had a retainer, the retainer always comes out for meals? Yeah. I know in the past, and I can't think of any example, but thrown something away that clearly...
looked like it was garbage and need to be thrown away you know what i mean it turns out that it's not something important oh no that was a 700 million dollar gift to hard right and by the way that guy it was like his friend that threw it away by accident or something along those lines and what if i just gave you 700 million dollars and he kept it in a black in a trash bag why would you do that i do not know he didn't think it was going to be worth much i guess but uh
Let's go to Kim next. Kim, good morning. Hi, how are you? Great. What's up, Kim? Well, my best friend of longer than 30 years or so let me borrow her grandmother, her deceased grandmother's bracelet for my second wedding. Okay. And because it was something borrowed. And so I wore it and then whatever, I never gave it back to her again.
A few years go by. I stumble upon it by cleaning up my bedroom. I saw this golden bracelet, and I was like, ugh, I don't wear gold. So I just, like, threw it in the trash. And it looked kind of broken and everything. I was like, whatever, I don't want this. So I threw it away. A few months go by. My friend calls me up, and she goes, hey, do you still happen to have my grandmother's bracelet? And I'm like, um...
Yeah. So I was thinking of contacting Mascaro's Trash and going and seeing if I can dig around in there and see if I can find it because it was gone. Yeah. I mean, at that point...
So what did you do? So then I contacted my cousin, who's actually a jewelry designer, and I said, hey, can you make this bracelet for me? And I found like an old grainy photo of the bracelet on my wrist at my wedding. And he's like, ooh, long shot, no, that's probably not going to happen. So I've just been kind of avoiding her. Right. You know what?
Do something to piss her off and ruin their friendship. Yeah. By the way, your grandmother was a whore.
And then hang up the phone. I'm still looking for it. I'm like, yeah, I have it. It's somewhere. Oh, no. What if the jeweler recreated the picture right down to the human wrist? Everything's right. So I'm hoping maybe I can find a jeweler eventually to recreate it. Wow. Yeah, it's a family heirloom. You got to do something. All right. Good luck with that, Ken. I know. Thank you. All right. We'll see you. Man. Man.
Nasty. Talk about a gross thing to go through. Brittany has a story here real quick. Hi, Brittany. Good morning. Go birds. Go birds. What's up, Britt? So about, I think it was our first or second year.
Yeah.
I guess we went into the arcade or went to buy ice cream or something, and I went in my pocket, and I'm like, my five is gone. And I'm kind of like flipping out a little bit, and he's trying to tell me it's only a $5 bill, but I love my money. And then it clicked. I'm like...
I threw it away. I remember the texture of feeling my tissue with something else. And that something else was the five. So I remember the trash can and walk back to it together. It was the middle of the boardwalk and it has those things on top of it. And I'm like, and I took it off and I started digging. And he's, he must be thinking the woman of my dreams. She keeps snotty tissues and dumpster dyes for five bucks. Did you find it?
Of course I did. Oh, good. And there were people looking at me, but I did not care. I found it. By the way, those trash cans on the boardwalk are just, I mean, they are jam-packed. Really? Yeah. With just disgusting stuff. Yeah. Well, it was $5. $5. Come on, man. $5.
It was a few years ago, so five bucks is a long way. It was worth $5. Happy. It has a wonderful ending, Brittany. You got your $5 back. Thank you. And you can keep your... You need to... I do this. I separate my snotty rag pocket from my money pocket. All right. What happens if you're in prison and a guard throws away your phone? Let's go to Michael and find out. Hey, Michael, you're on the air. Good morning.
Good morning to you. How you guys doing? Good, man. All right. So what happened? Great conversation, man. Thanks. I'm up trash. Let me say that, man. I love you guys, too. I'm in prison in 1999, right? All right. And I know a lot of people, so I'm shaking and baking and I'm moving. I'm connected with everybody. Come Friday, one of the counselors loses his phone and swears one of the inmates stole it.
Okay. So they locked us down immediately. The council lost his phone. This is a big thing. This is 1999, little flip phone. They don't like that type of thing behind the fence for inmates to have. A lot of reasons, you know. Yes.
So what happens is we're locked down Friday night. Visits are canceled Saturday. Come Saturday night, we're still locked down. Sunday morning, they come to me. Listen, we know you know everybody. You're moving. Help us get the phone so we can let everybody out. Visits are coming. I'm like, nobody got the phone. I've been looking for it myself. I need to make a phone call. I went in on this phone. Somebody got it. I went in. Nobody don't got this phone. Hours later go by. Early evening, what happens?
What happens? The cop says, let's go to the trash, man. You going in? I said, I'm going in. Now, all the trash from the prison is in the dumpsters. I'm going through the dumpster bag after bag after bag. All the prisoners in the prison, it's a small prison, but all the prisoners are watching out the windows. They're waiting. The bags are coming out.
I bust the bag open. There's a sub. The officer's standing next to me. There's the man's cell phone. Oh, wow. I raise my hands. The inmates start banging on the window. It's like the Green Mile. Burning toilet paper. Woo!
No, it sounds like it sounds like a great movie. So the guy you helped out with the phone helped get you out of prison early.
Ten years on another set and five years early. Ten years later, got me out five years early on another set. Wow. Hygiene the laundry and sneak you out. He started cooking the boats for the warden after that. That's right. Randall Stevens. That guy's name was Andy. Let me ask you something. And if you want to answer, what were you in prison for? What's that?
I'm able for anything. I love tracks. So what were you in prison for? And how long was the sentence? At that time, it was for kicking in some windows and stealing some time. Okay. I was young. All right. I was desperate at one moment. Okay.
Kicking in windows and stealing some tires. Ten years? No, no, no. I only got six months on the sentence when I found the phone. Okay, but he strangled a tire. That was for a burglar I didn't do. Lawyer F'd him, Nick. I thought he was the only innocent man in the show. Michael, great story. Thanks for sharing, man. We appreciate it. Yeah, that's cool. It was very fun. All right, we'll see you later. Wow.
Wow, wow, wow. It's a different world, man. It is. Well, this guy wants to go through 350,000 tons of trash to find his $700 million Bitcoin. And so we'll see if they end up letting him do it. But that would take... That could take...
A decade to go through, maybe longer. Even your most aggressive form or comprehensive form of data retrieval, it's been out in the elements, A, as you pointed out earlier, it's probably pulverized down into the ground. Man, I don't know. But I mean, the promise of $700 million. Look at some of the great, quote unquote, lost treasures of the world. There are ones that fall well below $700 million. I'd like to know what that guy's worth, though.
um, without it because he's, you know, trying to buy the actual landfill. Yeah. Well, I think he's worked on raising the money. I'm not 100% sure. You said he had some investors. Yeah. So he's, you know, they would get a chunk of that. Yeah. Obviously, if you were to be able to find him. All right. Well, thank you for the calls. Very interesting, entertaining stories. We're going to take a break, uh, because we got a guest coming up. We're going to have, uh, actor Morris Chestnut on, uh,
He's not from Philly. He's a huge Eagles fan. Massive Eagles fan. So we will chat with him when we return and get in some other stuff, too. We'll be right back. Stay with us. The Preston and Steve Show. Like the podcast? You'll also love it live. When you can call in. Weekdays from 6 a.m. to about 10.30 a.m. on the radio at 93.3 WMMR.
or stream the show live via MMR's mobile app. All right, thanks, Nick. A little bit, we're going to have actor Morris Chestnut on the program, talk about the show Watson, which is Sunday the 16th on CBS. The big discussion around here, though...
amongst us is parking in the city for the parade. Obviously, yesterday they had the official announcements about road closures and times and locations and all of that stuff.
We're going to be broadcasting, like we said, from the Cambria Hotel. It's our broadcast partner, 219 South Broad Street. For us, getting in is no problem because we're going to get in before 5 a.m. Exactly. And get set up and get ready to do the show live. But in 2018, leaving the city was a bit of an undertaking for some of us. I was in a parking lot that took...
over an hour just to get out of it was fairly small parking lot too it wasn't like you know I was at at the link or anything like that and uh it took forever to get out and I remember actually because I was in the same situation as you uh and I was channeling you know your mantra when it comes to that sort of stuff and I was like because I can get really really anxious and and aggravated and all of that and I was like okay
But anxiety and aggravation is not going to get me out of this parking lot any sooner. There's nothing you can do. There's nothing I can do about it. Yeah, I mean, honestly, and it did work for me, but I do not want to go through that again. Having learned what I learned back in 2018, I don't want to go through that again. So I remember, you know, you commit these things only because...
In general, it was a magical day. You remember every aspect of it. I think we can all agree it's something that we'll never forget. And hopefully that'll be joined by tomorrow. I mean, Friday is another day we'll never forget. But going in early, we are way early, obviously. There were still some people kind of...
going in to get ahead of the curve and I parked blocks away linear to where we were broadcasting from. I didn't mind the walk and I think I was on the street and got a spot. So after everything wrapped up, I walked the route a little bit and then left and I remember going home and watching the speeches from home. But yeah, my goal was to...
the moose and avoid that. And so I'd like to try to do that again this year because I think whatever we looked at
The first time around is going to be exceeded substantially this year. I have a feeling. I feel like it's going to be bigger, too, Steve. Partially because it's a Friday. I think partially the people that didn't join in 2018 will want to be there this year. You know, the FOMO from a few years ago. Yeah. And yeah, I think there's going to be more people this time around. But, you know, so the people that didn't make it last time.
But there's also because I've talked to a number of people who were there last time and they're going to forego it. And they're going to forego it. Yeah, because that was the very first Super Bowl victory. So understood. Yeah, there was there. They were saying estimates were one and a half million people at that one. And they're they're saying now around a million. That's the but who knows what's going to happen until the morning, you know, until that day. Betting. Well, I think it's going to break.
In what way? More? Less? I think it's going to be a little less. A little less. Yeah, a little bit less. I don't think it's going to be. Listen, I think the excitement around this team and the event and the victory is just as massive as it could possibly be. But I think there's maybe some people who went last time around and they've checked
that off of their list. I got you. You know what I mean? Yeah. I remember in 2008 when the Phillies won the World Series that mass transit in and out of the city was a nightmare. People had a really hard time getting on SEPTA trains and getting home after the parade ended in 2008. I don't remember how mass transit was in 2018. So I know that because I was listening to Tyrone and so they have a couple people who live in Jersey that...
So people that were trying to take the early trains from Jersey, it was like a nightmare getting over here. But then Tyrone was like, no, I stepped on the train at like 10 o'clock and I was fine. You know what I mean? No kidding. So timing is key. Timing is key. But listen, a lot of people want to leave early because they want their prime spot. Right. Right. So if you...
don't necessarily care about your prime spot, you just want to be a part of the crowd or whatever, then I guess you could take your good old time. So along the route, what would you... So I think we're shifted a little bit this year, and I kind of like where you are. Because we're at a good vantage point. We had to pull things together last time quickly, and Marissa was able to get us a condo that wasn't being used. And we were up there. We were at the end of the parade route. So given your druthers, would you...
I like where we're at now. We're like two blocks from City Hall. We're right in the middle of it all. In 2018, my neighbor from down the shore, they live in Wildwood, so they went up and they basically were at the very beginning of the parade. So basically Broad and Patterson is where they were.
And he said they got in and they got out and they were done. You know what I mean? They were home basically before the parade even ended. And they got to see what they wanted to see. I'm kind of looking for that this time. And also not for, you know, like the people that are in the parade, the Philadelphia Eagles,
They have all the juice and all the energy in the beginning of the parade. They're out of the, you know, they're walking alongside the buses and everything like that. And then after a while, like, oh, shoot, we got to get back on the bus because we have a schedule. But then the other part is like you want to be there for the speeches at the end. Right. You know? Do you guys remember in 2008, we had the haunted whore ride the morning of the Phillies World Series parade? And then a bunch of us ended up at Club Risque in South Philly or on Delaware Ave or whatever. Woo!
And then from there, I think I walked. Maybe I got a ride, but I ended up on Broad Street somewhere in South Philly, like 10th and Shunk or 10th and Ritten or something like that. I was just looking at the map. And I liked being in that part of South Philly. And I believe in 2008, the parade was the reverse direction. It started up by City Hall, and then they went down to the ballpark. And that's where they ended. That was amazing as well. That's where Chase Utley did the World F-ing Champions. Yeah.
No, whatever it is, I'm curious to see how it does break because I was having a feeling, but you guys raised good points, is that if you've been there, that's checked off the list. And that was the first. It's still going to be a sea of humanity. And I don't mind parking and having to walk.
eight or ten blocks or whatever it is to get where I need to be. It's just what I can't stand is sitting in my car forever with people nudging very, very slowly, trying to move, and people merging or not letting you merge. And I just can't stand that game. I remember getting out pretty effectively last time around. I hope that happens again. I wonder if it's beneficial for where we're going to be and what time we're going to be there is parking at the sports complex.
right there at the train station, take the subway up,
you know, to the Cambria because I assume there's going to be a subway stop that's right there. And then your worst case scenario is that you've got to wait to get on the subway, right? So I'm wondering about that and I'm impressed that you raised the notion about like a Lyft or Uber, but we're hearing stories about there could be wonky cell phone issues. That too. That's the other thing I thought. That's why I kind of second-guessed that. Marissa said they're going to be busy, obviously. Everybody who's
Who's got a ride share, who's not going to the parade, it's going to be working. Money to be made. When I got to New Orleans, the line for taxi cabs was 10 terminals long. Whoa, whoa. I waited in line for 90 minutes. The Uber ride share was $150. $150. Not just for about the surge, but those cars can't get in either. They're just cars. Right. I think...
there's an underestimation of the younger people that are going to be there nick was talking about ben going down and like tailgating with his friends i think there's going to be a lot of younger people when i um went down to broad street after the nfc nfc championship i don't know if i told you guys this by the time i got there it was shut down it was like nine o'clock and all of broad street had been cleared off but that just meant that everybody was on like 15th street
But there were so many younger people, they couldn't even go into a bar or anything else. So they just kind of were hanging without a spot to be at. So I think there's going to be a lot of that. It's high school students, young college students, because they can go down, they can party, there's no repercussions, and they can have some fun in the streets. But SEPTA is free. Definitely.
Did you see that too? Kevin Hart. Yeah, the Grand Coromino. But there was those stories that the train would literally go by people because it was full. So if you're all the way at the beginning of it, by the time you're at the third or fourth stop, it was just completely filled up. By the way, the lots at the sports complex, Casey, a bunch of people are texting in, they will be closed. Okay, will they be closed on Thursday night?
I wouldn't risk parking it there overnight. Yeah. Well, I mean, but that's a sports complex. There is separate sort of parking for that SEPTA station, right? That SEPTA station uses the A lot, which is probably part of the sports complex. Yeah, all of the lots in the sports complex parking lots are going to be closed. Oh, man.
So much for that plan. In fact, we're going to be talking about what exactly we're going to attempt to do after the show today. We have a meeting. The one thing we did, having the police officers in yesterday talking about parade etiquette and safety, travel with your groups, keep your group together, stop anyone from doing anything excessive or dangerous, and just have a good time. And Casey, to your earlier point,
It's a Super Bowl parade. It's a victory parade. Whatever might get you agitated on the day, just let it go. Just let it go. Because think of where you are and think of that moment in history and in time and just savor it. Yeah, our friend Joe Holden from CBS News, he said that mid-south Philly is the best spot. He says not nearly as many people traditionally. He said also regional rail was crushed. Most trains that morning ran on bypass for stations closest to the city. Hmm.
One more piece of advice I'm not hearing people say, bring a charger. Get a portable charger. Go buy one now. Make sure you have one.
Make sure it's charged and bring it with you. It'll be a lifesaver once you're down there. I believe that. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I always have a charged portable battery pack in my bag that has the attachments for any sort of USB or anything like that. How can you charge it up? Preston, I charged it about a month and a half ago. It's still at 82%. Wow. Yeah. That's impressive. Nice.
So, yeah, looking at the details. By the way, I don't know where Morris Chestnut is. He was supposed to call us a few minutes ago. So looking at the details in the article, I believe it was in the Enquirer, about what's going on as far as trains and all that stuff. Hang on a second. There were some details I was going to bring up here. By the way, the courts will be closed. Oh.
Oh, man. Both in-person and scheduled hearings for criminal, civil, family, and traffic courts will be rescheduled. So I was supposed to be in there for a child support issue, which kills me. I don't have children. People summoned for jury duty on Friday are excused and will not need to report. Oh, wow. So I don't know if that means that they're going to reschedule it or not.
Trash and recycling collection will be suspended on Friday with the sanitation department operating on a holiday scheduled to accommodate the parade. So if you usually have a pickup on Friday, you should instead...
Place your garbage and recycling out on Saturday. So that is a day delayed. And by the way, they use all those trash trucks to block the streets. They did for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was cool to be down there and see the quote unquote behind the scenes of how they worked that large event. I think this will dramatically eclipse that.
The city's bike share program, Indigo, will be up and running. Yay. You're not going to be able to get too far on those things, are you? No. There was like two seasons where I used to ride those leaving the stadium and then everybody caught on. They're not going to be anywhere. They're not going to be available. Close by. Yeah.
I mean, look, it's an amazing system. I'm complimenting it, but it's going to be hard. I'm bringing my scooter with me wherever I park is not going to be close to where we're broadcasting because that's where all the people are going to be. So I need to be blocks away. That's my plan. I want to try to be like way far away. I can walk half mile, whatever it is. Now, I have an idea if you guys are up for it.
if we could order fake paramedic uniforms. EMS? Coming through! We got a bleeder! We got a clipboard. Lab coat, clipboard. Glasses. I also think as part of the skipping the gridlock is like parking near...
Like an entrance to a highway. Yeah, absolutely. Because a lot of the gridlock is people who are just stuck and trying to get out. I'll do you one better. So you're like trying to come down Chestnut Street while everyone's trying to go up 18th or something like that. And then one person blocks the road and you can't get anywhere. Marissa, pull off on the shoulder of like 676. There you go.
Jack up the car. Okay. All right. Get out of log range. Put your flashers on. Don't forget to put, for some reason, a white T-shirt in your window. How far of a walk is the zoo from where we'll be? But Joe right there was saying like Washington Avenue. And they're saying that the Broad Street line is going to start running at 5 a.m. To be honest, again, I walked...
The last time around, I parked near the Franklin Institute on the street, and it was just a couple blocks from us, and I had no problem with it. And we were good. Now we're a little bit further up, but that's still not a problem. But that's still so close to the parkway, man. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know. I think parking 8th Street by Chinatown and that kind of way, then you can get right on 676. Yeah, that's a pretty good chance. It's an hour walk from the zoo to the Cambria Hotel. One time I walked from South Philly here
What? Yeah, I can't remember why, but I had a day and I just felt like giving it a shot. So I walked from the stadiums back here. And now you walk along the West River Drive or Kelly Drive or whatever. It was a beautiful day. I didn't have anywhere to be. It was a nice long walk. Have you ever taken a long walk out of anger? Yes. That might have started the reason. It might have been one of those days. Yeah. One time I walked...
Oh, I don't know. Eight or nine miles. Yeah. Because I was so pissed at my sister. And my parents weren't. They were out of town or whatever. I'm just like, I'm out of here. I'm walking, man. I'm walking. I did about 18 miles. I did to a mall. This was high school. Girlfriend fight. Yeah. Yeah. And F it. So from the mall home or from? So all day. To the mall. Yeah.
The Walt Whitman Mall. And I remember walking back thinking...
I should have made peace. Dude, one of my best friends, he and his wife, I'm going to share this story on the air. I don't care if they want me to or not. But this is back in their dating days. Right. It was well before they were married and they got into some kind of an argument. And they were, Nick, they might have been in South Philly or something like that. They live in Montgomery County. And...
He was like, they were getting in a shouting match or whatever. He's like, let me out. Just let me out of here. I'll walk home. Out of the car. Yeah, yeah. Out of the car. And the line that gets thrown back at him to this day was, I guess he had been drinking or whatever. And he's like, I'm very resourceful. Is one of these people associated with comedy? We throw that at him every now and then. This is Will and Lori. Oh.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm very resourceful. Did he walk the whole way? No. Oh, okay. I forgot how he got out of there. I'm curious as to the resolution of your long, angry walk at your sister. Did you cool off? Well, I got to... I walked so far that... And I forgot where my parents were. But I went to a neighborhood where we used to live like years and years and years before. And...
And, oh, they were livid. It was my sister's fault. She was just being a hardcore bitch. I forgot about what. Iron trip, how far? It was a full... I'd say it was like eight or nine miles. Wow. It was a long way, man. I mean, to be walking. Especially when I was a kid. I was like in seventh grade or something like that. But I was just so mad. I was like, I had to walk it all off. I was in high school. Yeah. Yeah, this was 2000.
2014 or 15 for me so uh that was a rough couple years i think the longest i've ever walked is like maybe eight or nine miles i did that you know the aids walk back in the day used to be an eight mile walk what about like uh some of the hikes out west like angels landing and whatever angels landing isn't that long i mean it's just it's just straight up kind of you know um you know and even the the hikes we did in the grand canyon they were just short little you know one two hour hikes or whatever um i did walk the the entire wildwood beach this past summer i was like i have
never done that before. Was it the length of Diamond Beach? Yeah, from Diamond Beach all the way up to the, you know, as far as you can go off the seawall in North Wildwood and back, you know. Was that on the sand? It was all on the, yeah, but the hard sand. Yeah, but still, that takes its toll on your calves. I loved it though, man. It was really, really great. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's funny. Mine was all flat, which was fine. It was no problem, but I mean, I don't care.
on that return, you're like, your dogs are barking. How long did that take you, you think? You know what, I could tell you because I logged it. I don't do any sort of physical activity without logging it because I need credit. I need to give myself credit. You're getting points for this? I need to pat myself on the back. You're just going to have to give me a moment. By the way, going back to the parade discussion, Jason has a question for us. Hi, Jason. Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning, President Steve. How y'all doing this morning? Doing well. What's going on? Actually, I have a question for Nick and Casey. Nick, I would think, is more of a baseball fan. What's up? Casey, more of a football fan. Y'all both experienced both a World Series and a Super Bowl.
Which one is more important? The Super Bowl parade or the World Series? Which one's more important? Or which one was better? Yeah, you're going to get a different answer from each of us here. Yeah, well... I guess better. You know, for me, the culmination of waiting for 25 years for any championship in Philadelphia was part of the joy of the 2008 parade. But I had so much fun with these guys.
doing the show in 2018 and the fact that McElhinney was there and Kreischer and we had those views. So I don't know. For me, it's almost a tie. You know something about it, Jason? Again, we talked about it. It was like 21 degrees, 20 degrees that day in 2018. And I remember not feeling a bit of it. You were just so amped up.
And you guys were wearing your Vin Diesel coat, so you didn't... Yeah. And I went to both, but technically I didn't make it to the Phillies parade because I got stuck at Club Risqué. Yeah. These girls trapped me in the champagne room. No. I just... No, we started drinking. I'm having a good time. I'm like, I just... Nah, I'm not going to walk all the way to the parade route. I didn't go to the Phillies parade. So the answer for me is easy. It was the Eagles parade. There was never a Super Bowl victory. And so for me, Eagles...
I would have been there no matter what. And the company, like Nick was saying, the company we kept was pretty damn fantastic. Marissa? I didn't see most of the Phillies parade either because I was in the back room of Chickies and Pete. Thank you, Kathy Romano. But I did see photos that I looked at later and somebody pointed it out. The Phillies parade was a little looser. Like I think security wasn't as tight so you could kind of walk behind the last truck and
and follow the guys. So there was like hundreds of thousands of people marching to the stadiums behind it. Whereas the Eagles parade was a little more locked down. It certainly was. Thanks Jason. Yeah, I was telling you guys the other day when I was a kid in 1982, my parents came and picked me up and took me to the Cardinals World Series parade. I had no idea that they were coming to get me. It was this awesome little surprise.
And it was very loose. Like, you could step out onto the parade route, onto the street. And I was going up and I remember shaking Bruce Suter's hand. And, you know, all these great baseball players were reaching out and high-fiving and stuff. And I was like, oh, my God. Like, we could get up close and personal with them. Was it the Phillies parade, wasn't it? Where the kid was doing the... Yeah, raising his hands. I love...
I loved that. It was this little kid standing on a corner, and he was probably, I don't know, maybe two years old at the most. And every now and then, he would just raise his hands up in the air, and the crowd would start cheering. And the kid noticed that people were doing it, and he would kept... It was so much fun. That kid's an adult now. Is he? Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Yeah, this kid's not even two years old. He's probably maybe less than 18 months. That was so funny. You know, the other thing about the Phillies parade in 2008 was that, you know, it was on Halloween. It was an absolutely beautiful day. And they had had games 5A and 5B, which were weird because 5A, you know, the rain delay and it stopped and it was awful weather. And then it was terrible, terrible weather the day after.
And so they had to wait a day and a half to start game 5B. And then I just remember, like, it was so... It was just a perfect Philadelphia fall day. And that led to some of the joy. The word that comes to mind is crisp. It was a... Everything, it's just... The air, everything, it was just a beautiful day. I know we're basking in the glow of the Super Bowl win, but one of the coolest videos I ever saw post a championship was...
Nick, what was that called? It was like a one breath or one pause. Yes. One collective breath. Yeah. Yeah. And it was on that last pitch. Yes. Brad Lidge winds up and the stadium goes quiet. Basically, all of Philadelphia goes quiet and everybody holds their breath. Video after video after video of people at their homes or at a bar watching it. And it's this collective pause.
pause and they showed clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip of just these people waiting and waiting in anticipation and then boom, it happens. And there you go. And that was the culmination of that moment.
But I thought that that was one of the best videos ever made. Now, already, there have been some fantastic videos circulating from this past weekend. It's a different time now, and you can crank these things out very, very quickly. Right. But that one from the Philz came a few weeks after, I think. But, yeah, it's called Collective Breath Phillies 2008. It's pretty incredible. It's like breath.
Collective bleph. Take a bleph. Yes, take a bleph. I always thought that you should have narrated that video because they got a guy to narrate it who was okay. Really? Yeah, and afterwards, the dude who made it, I remember he reached out. He was like, can you guys promote this? And he sent it to me, and I was like, this is freaking awesome. Nick, it only has 404 views. It's because it was posted on some weird site when the video came out. It was sort of in the infancy of YouTube. This was only posted on YouTube once.
A year ago. So somebody took it from the original site and posted it on YouTube. Gotcha. But yeah, it was all the buildup of like collective failures in between 1983 and 2008. Yeah. Including the horse that came in third. Smarty Jones. Yeah, whatever. Barbaro or Smarty, one of those. Yeah. Barbaro's the one they had to kill, right? Yes. Yeah, and then they ate it on the... They barbecued everybody. Who wants a bit of Barbaro?
medium rare please yellow or golden yeah I like the golden please hang on a second Tom has a question about the parade I'm going to go to him hi Tom morning bud hey Gadzooks what's up my man
Hey, so I've had a FOMO about missing all the pass parades. I missed the last Eagles one. I was a little too young for the Phillies one. Parents didn't want to take me, but I want to return the favor to my kids.
And I want to actually take them. Problem is, she's two years old. Is it a good idea to take her? What would you guys think? You guys have the kids. Tom, I have a question for you. Do you want to have a good time or do you want to be changing diapers on top of a dumpster?
Or making memories. Making memories. Tom, I sort of see that. I've seen some people, and I saw... I think if you make... And again, I'm just... I don't own a child. But I see people doing things like...
headphones or just things for noise mitigation and certain things. But I get to Preston's point. You that would be making a memory. I mean, because the little kid who is we talked about with the the Phil's parade. He was due. Right. Yeah. And he was. I think you're OK, Tom. You need to be selective about where you're going to go. And I think Nick's suggestion who offered it over mid mid South filling.
That was Joe Holden. Oh, Joe Holden. Yeah, yeah. I'd go there to get a smaller, you know, not the sea of people. Right. And the other thing about the parade day is that it's not the post-Super Bowl celebration on Sunday night, right? It is a little more family friendly and it'll be during the day. So, yes, there are going to be people partying and there's going to be people who are drinking, but it's not the insanity of post-Super Bowl win on Sunday night. Yeah. And by the way, Tom, if your two-year-old starts to get wobbly, cut him off. Don't let him drink anymore. Right. Exactly.
All right, thanks, Tom. Good luck, man. One thing I remember from 2018 was when we went by the art museums, Casey and I walked over there. And it's going to be a similar situation with this year because we're getting warmer temperatures tomorrow and rain. Do you remember how muddy it was over there, Casey? Oh, my gosh, yeah. I do remember that. Insanely muddy. And thank God I had boots on because otherwise I saw like...
Like lost shoes? Yes. Like people just getting stuck in the shoe off. So in that area, and because there's a lot of grassy areas in and around Aikens Oval, if you end up walking through there, keep in mind, it's going to get muddy, Raj. I contend that that area is, I don't think there's any greater area within a city for this kind of thing. That parade route leading up to the museum steps.
Who can top it? I remember being up on the balcony and looking out at just this sea of ebullience of people just going freaking nuts and going, where else are you going to find this? Yeah, it's a good spot. It is. Yeah. And even when we were at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yes. It was lovely weather that day. It lends itself to a tour. Yeah. Because the parkway is so wide. Yeah.
and it circles around there at the end. It's great. When we cut the corner, you know, and you start to go down the main drag there, Preston, and literally people are right off to the side, and we were getting a lot of love, which was wonderful. People were so nice. Oh, the most fun was when we came around City Hall, which is kind of where we're going to be. It was a little bit of a different route, but that around City Hall, the square there, that's...
action-packed. Because you're seeing faces right up close. It's cool. Yeah. And just the building surrounding everything. You're in the canyon. Hang on a second. Let me go to... Chad has some suggestion for Tom who just called in. Hi, Chad. You're on the air. Good morning, buddy. Hey, let's go, birds. Let's go, birds. What's up, man? So, 2008 when the Phillies won, it was Halloween. And I can't remember
I took my five-year-old down there, my five-year-old son, and he dressed up as Batman. And, yeah, the crowd was, you know, like I expected them to be crazy. But, you know, you just got to keep an eye on them. But I remember him having about 4,000 fans chanting, let's go, Batman. Let's go. My shoulders with his arms up in the air. Just a great experience. So, I mean, two years old, younger. But the memories we got from that day, I mean, I was. Yeah. You make a strong case. Lifelong memory for that kid, right? Core memory for that kid.
All right, I got another thing for you. So I'm at my household. I got two daughters and a girlfriend. And my name's Chad, and I keep trying to get Chad the Rad stuck. Can we just call me Chad the Rad? Yeah, Chad the Rad. You're trying to get that to stick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to call me Chaddy Daddy, but I'm like, I like Chad the Rad. I like Chad the Rad better. And then keep working on Fetch. Let's go, birds. Let's go, birds. All right, buddy. Thanks, Chad the Rad. Chad the Rad, everybody. It could be Chad the Dad. Could you imagine trying to get teenage girls to go Chad the Rad? Well, what about Chad the Rad Dad?
Chad the Rad Dad. It's a little mouthy. I follow Rad Dad on Instagram. How about Trad Dad, a traditional dad? A traditional dad? Trad Dad? Yeah.
Let me go. Hang on, Marissa. Just one more thing I want to throw out there. Please, for all of these hundreds of thousands of people that are coming in, consider shopping at like a small restaurant or a business while you're there, too. Maybe if you grab some lunch or grab some early dinner, a lot of restaurants and all are definitely could use the help. Well, also, as the mayor said about, you know, there there there are restaurants.
going to great lengths to make sure that the crowd is processed afterwards and allows everything to open up again because it is a super big night for restaurants with Valentine's Day reservations. I'm a little concerned that some people may have canceled their reservations that were coming in. Valentine's Day is also an extra day of the week for a restaurant that may be not as busy during the week, but since it was a
Friday, they were losing that. Right. So any opportunity that you can to grab anything and to jump into a small restaurant or business, there are so many around. Just open up the Google Maps and do food near me and there's got to be tons and tons of spots. That's a good idea. You know, Case, why don't you bring your crock pot in and set up a little stand? A stand? Yeah. That's not a bad idea. Pop up. You could do a pop up at a restaurant. World's greatest, right? World famous. World famous. Casey's world famous. Italian beef, yeah. Casey Queso? Yeah. Yeah.
Hang on a second. I just can't travel with it. There's a crock pot shop right down in the corner. What if you bring a ladle and you put it on... I'm not entertaining this. No, no, no. Just put it on the balcony and then pour it down to people who are below us. I can put the ladle on a rope. So what you do is we take the concept of the medieval oil torture and just make a queso. Okay.
By the way, I think even Robert Irvine would like your Italian beef. Right? Yeah. He's anti-crackpot. I think he would like it, but he wouldn't be able to admit it. Could you trick him?
And say... Because if you recall... You know what you do? Put it on his wife's breasts. He would love that. We had the kielbasa in here and he liked it, but he was like, you know, a couple things to say about it. Oh yeah, we had our super awesome, by the way, Nifty 50's gingerbread
shake yeah he gave it a thumbs up but he was still had to yeah he knew he loved that thing by the way i i gave a couple critiques for your uh italian beef did that bother you that i said something about that what were your critiques i said it was just a smidge spicy for me yeah yeah yeah okay that's better and that little cheese would bring it all the way home but you said you normally do put cheese i normally do i just wanted you guys to taste it at its purest form um
I am going to, I think I am. I was thinking, I don't know why I was thinking about it on my write-in this morning, but I was thinking about changing up the recipe, kind of doing, you know, keeping the base the same, but I have an idea.
And I'm going to take it out. I'm going to test it out on my own. I will guarantee you at one point in time, and I can see you pairing with Marissa at some level and setting up some sort of pop-up or some sort of stand. You love to do this. You're constantly inventing recipes. You do something that's attached to something that we've talked about on the air. You know, the...
plug all the pale. That's what we do. But I mean, still, the truth of the matter is that people, I bet you eventually you're going to have some sort of restaurant pop-up or food truck or something that you're associated with. Yeah, but for the time being, I'm just, I'm putting the crock pot to...
to rest for a little bit because I am full of Italian beef and queso right now. And the scale is super mad at me. By the way, a texter said, here's what we need. A beer bong, but with Casey's queso. I love that. That'd be so much fun. People are asking for the recipes. Marissa did put the recipes up on PresidentSteve.com. So if you would like the recipes...
for my italian beef and for my casey queso uh they're there the only thing i will say is that uh the recipe on the website uh for my queso has onions i don't put onions in my queso so uh i leave those out by the way it wouldn't be a beer bong it'd be a cheese bong cheese bong i don't think anybody's ever done a cheese bong before have they not until friday so explain the mechanics of what when you're doing a cheese bong what would be the end result you just you hold the funnel up
And you swallow as much cheese as you can handle. I am down with that. It's eating or drinking as much cheese as quickly as you possibly can. That's why. In fact, I think most doctors would recommend you do that. I mean, you probably would die. Yeah. But if you drink it, you're good. I mean, come on. What a way to go. What a ways to go. That's like dying during a threesome. You know what I mean? Death by cheese.
Beer bonging cheese is better than a thing. I will tell you, when I was in college, I got written up for doing a beer bong when I was a freshman. And it was entrapment. It was such BS. Oh, tell me how it was entrapment. First of all. Was the person that wrote you up the person that urged you to do it? No. But first of all, I didn't know that beer bongs were not legal at the school. I was 18. Okay.
That didn't have any issues. That guy who wrote me up saw me drinking many, many times. It's just the method. The method. That seems stupid. This guy watches me.
pour the beer into the beer bong, watches me get all the suds out of it, you know, because it takes a little while to get all the suds out. And never pipes up. Never pipes up. Never says a freaking word. Watches me do the beer bong and then wrote me up. I was like... You were kind of set up. I was... He could have interceded and said, by the way, before you do that... That guy didn't like me and, you know, as it turns out, just be based on the two times he wrote me up, I don't like him either. So...
No, you don't like me for my cheese bomb, but I don't like you none much either.
Case, if you had to choose, shotgunning a beer or beer bong? Probably beer bong. I'm always nervous about shotgunning because of the... You want to cut your lip or something? Yeah. I don't think they work as well. Beer bong, man, you get gravity involved. Is this a cheese bong we're looking at? That is a cheese bong. Son of a bitch. Oh, my God. Well, Kraft Mac and Cheese, that's a little bit different. By the way, speaking of beer bongs and things, there are so many...
videos out there of people doing keg stands and beer boxes and things. And a thing that we used to do regularly when I was in my younger 20s was if you were at a party and somebody's holding a full beer, you come over and you tap it. Right. And the beer goes everywhere. You demonstrate it on air. What you would do is, oh my God, and you hold it up to your mouth and you start drinking it. What I never once thought of doing
is putting my thumb over the top and holding it in front of the guy's face. That's even better. It's so much better. Yeah. And I saw a video of that that long. I'm like, why did we never think of that? Oh, my God. Well, because you panicked.
You're like, I'm going to drink it. And you probably spent money on that beer. The last thing you want to do is waste beer. Yeah, no doubt. In college, there were two different things. If you got caught drinking out of your right hand, you had to chug your beer. You always had to drink out of your left hand. With your right hand. No, no. You had to drink out of your left hand. If somebody caught you drinking out of your right, you had to chug the beer. And then if there was ever a keg party, you know that little tab that goes over the top of the keg? Yes. So if...
Somebody dropped that into your beer, you had to chug that beer. But then you got to drop that in somebody else's beer. Okay. That's always a fun one. That is a fun one. All right, well... So Morris Chestnut... Yes. No show. We're going to let it slide because he's an Eagles fan. Yeah, we were going to have him on about a half hour ago. He's on thin ice, though. All right, well, anywho, we do need to take a break and...
We got stuff to get to. We're planning this live broadcast. And by the way, if you missed it earlier this morning, BirdBot is back. He's actually in our studio. He's right behind me as we speak. And he will be joining us at the Cambria Hotel on Friday for the live broadcast. We will prominently place him so you will be able to see BirdBot.
wherever you go. Hopefully. We're still working on that. He looks great, by the way. He does look great. I'm so happy with how it turned out. We're going to take a break. We'll come back in a second and we will indeed get to the Bizarre Files. So stay with us.
Hey, it's Kathy Romano. This Sunday on Her Story, just in time for Valentine's Day, get practical dating and relationship advice from the Jewish dating guru. Then on upcoming episodes, hear from a Chilean-born adoptee who uncovered the truth about her illegal adoption and a postpartum health coach who breaks down exactly what postpartum means and how we should be supporting new moms.
Tune into her story with me, Kathy Romano, every Sunday morning at 7 a.m. on 93.3 WMMR because every woman has a story worth sharing. WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Final. All righty, a couple stories to run by you, and we'll begin with this one. With Valentine's Day approaching, is there anything more romantic...
than having full-on sex with your partner in broad daylight of a Wendy's while motorists are driving by on a busy highway. Oh, man, Wendy's. Romantic. It's so romantic. According to People, Demetria Wilson and Tamario Morrell... Where is the beef? ...were caught in the act Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida, where we will be in the not-too-distant future.
Officer Parker Moody reported spotting Wilson and Morrell laying on the ground behind the bus stop in the view of a busy highway. The bus stop is in front of a Wendy's and directly adjacent to US Highway 19. And Wendy's in particular had that big sort of atrium area up front where you can see everything that's going on. Wilson, unencumbered by pants, was on her right side with her buttocks facing her partner,
Merrill's pants were pulled down and he was in a turgid state as he repetitively engaged with Wilson, according to the police.
The couple was busted, charged with performing an unnatural and lascivious act. Are the charges increased because of its allocation to a Wendy's? Maybe, but why unnatural? That's the most natural thing that there is. Wilson and Morell. Burgers and sex, man. Both of whom have lengthy rap sheets, remain locked up in lieu of a respective $150 and $500 bond. They have each pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges. Time for a frosty.
I'm trying to figure out how far away this is from Cocos. Cocos, yeah. We've got to swing by there. It's not far at all. In Alabama, a Huntsville DUI attorney was arrested on a DUI charge late Sunday night. I can't really...
Prosecute if I don't understand it. Officials say an officer noticed a car on the road that appeared to have been in an accident. The officer pulled the driver over. It's okay, I'm a lawyer. Identified as 63-year-old Russell Crumbly.
And following a preliminary investigation, probable cause was developed for Crumbly's arrest. Listen, I'm on my way to a Wendy's. He was transported to the Madison County Jail, but has since bonded out. Crumbly is a partner and Huntsville defense lawyer at Crumbly Blackwell Price Attorneys. He handles cases across North Alabama relating to criminal defense and DUI. We don't just practice law, we break the law. Yeah.
A federal judge has handed down an eight-year sentence to a former car dealer convicted of carjacking a customer near Miami International Airport over a single missed payment. One payment.
The jury convicted Eric Haddad of a federal carjacking charge. So prosecutors said that he operated Guru Auto Sales with his sons. Google currently lists the dealership as permanently closed. Authorities said the Israeli national victimized a 24-year-old Haitian immigrant who bought a 2020 Honda Accord from him. Prosecutors said the victim was never given a copy of the sales paperwork and was not aware that an agreement between Guru and the finance company stipulated that if he was late on a payment,
Within the first two months of the loan, then the finance company could demand the approximate $13,800 it paid for the loan back from the dealership. So the victim's first payment bounced after he set up auto pay, investigators said, setting in motion a chain of events that would turn Haddad into a federal inmate. Five days after getting the letter from the company telling Gruber to buy back the $13,000, Haddad staked out the victim's home.
And then the BMW followed him to Miami International Airport where he worked.
Prosecutors said that's even though the victim was currently on his account that day and the dealership was expressly told that they couldn't repossess the car. They said when the victim reached a red light, a dad whom the victim had never met before got out of a black BMW in the middle of the intersection, approached the victim's Honda and ripped off the paper temporary tag and aggressively started yelling at him to get out of the car. Was he...
Brandishing any firearm or anything? That came later. The victim was able to get away when the light turned green, but Haddad eventually caught up to the victim. And Haddad continually aggressively screamed for the victim to get out of the car, eventually flashing a holstered gun in his waistband, getting the man to surrender the keys. It's okay, officer. I'm a car dealer. The victim, in shock, called the police, whose officers arrested Haddad initially, and state charges and located the gun.
The case later became federal as the Honda was transported, shipped, and received in interstate and foreign commerce. That's why he got the federal charge. He could have spent up to 15 years in prison in addition to his eight-year sentence. Haddad will spend three years on supervised release. Wow.
Cell phone video captured several passengers restraining a man on a Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Houston. But what happened before those dramatic moments is what scared Victoria Clark and her grandmother, Charlotte Jones. She said the lady in front of the gentleman asked to move seats. And right when she did, he started kicking profusely and punching the window.
The window was hit so hard that the plexiglass covering it broke. And she said he was a very scary person. The flight attendants went on the intercom to see if any law enforcement personnel were on board. And that's when Tanner Phillips, who served in the Army and several others, stepped in to help. Phillips said he was very physical. I picked him up, put him on the ground. It took a couple of guys to get his arms behind him, and we secured him. To do that, they used only the tools they had available, which were zip ties and a shoelace. Oh!
And again, I think they got to really explore what they're doing with... Restrainment. Restrainment on these commercial flights. Yep. So the group managed to keep him restrained during the rest of the flight, but people's minds weren't at ease with the damaged window. Luckily, they were able to land safely and nothing happened. But yeah, they ended up having to take somebody's shoelaces off. I wonder what kind... I mean, you are assuming that we're dealing with some thick glass...
Yeah. You know, in an aircraft like that. But I don't know. Well, I think it was the plexiglass, the first covering. Right. I'm wondering, had he persisted? Right. If he could have busted that open, that's a good question. And that is what I have in the Bizarre File for you today. We're going to break. We'll come back in a second. We got a question we'll get ready for you as far as what's happened on today's program.

Three doors down on 93.3 WMMR. When I'm gone, it's 17 minutes after 10. Preston and Steve at the show. We're not gone yet. We got a little ways to go. A few more things to do before we wrap for the day. One of them being today's lesson question.
What do we got here? A pair of tickets for the Doobie Brothers and the Coral Reefer Band, August 13th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, of which tickets will go on sale this Friday for. And Preston, you mentioned earlier, it's Michael McDonald's birthday today, and he doesn't always travel or tour with the Doobies, but he is for this tour. Yeah, I saw the picture of him with them together, which is great. That is cool. So the question we pose is from 7 o'clock this morning. For his next project, Peter Dinklage will apparently not be portraying which athlete?
that Steve had mentioned. 215263 WMMR. For his next project, Peter Dinklage will apparently not be portraying which athlete. 215263 WMMR. Call us if you know. The trash business is a gold mine.
93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, before we go to you for the answer, we'll get some stories from Steve. What's going on this morning, Steve? Well, Preston, he's my favorite rapper, Lil Yachty, falling off the stage while opening for Tyler, the Creator, on his Chromacopia tour. Fortunately, Yachty was tended to by another rapper on the tour named Lil Trauma Surgeon. Oh, my God.
Kanye West reportedly bullies his Jewish staffers at the Yeezy company rubbing their noses in his adoration for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Not only that, West just announced that those same employees can now enroll in a 401KKK program. Oh my God.
And finally, the producer known as Diplo revealing he doesn't smoke pot or do shrooms, preferring LSD instead. Diplo says without LSD, he never would have had the courage to kill his sister for being a werewolf. All righty, we'll see if we know the answer to this. For his next project, Peter Dinklage will apparently not be portraying which athlete. We will go to Chris, see if we can get that answer. Yo, Chris, morning, bud.
Hey, good morning. All right, sir. What, for his next project, Peter Dinklage will apparently not be portraying which athlete? LeBron James. Yes! Hold on, Chris. Got yourself a pair of tickets as MMR rocks the Doobie Brothers and the Coral Reefer Band August 13th at the Freedom Works Pavilion. Tickets go on sale this Friday, 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster. Now, Preston and Steve's Music News.
93.3 WMMR. Yeah! Yeah! So the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame revealed the list of 14 performer nominees earlier this morning. Nominees will be voted on
on by more than 1,200 artists, historians, and music industry professionals. The selection criteria include an artist's impact on other musicians, the scope and longevity of their career and body of work, as well as their innovation and excellence in style and technique. Artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before they were eligible for induction.
The 2025 inductees will be revealed in late April. The ceremony will take place in Los Angeles this fall. The nominees are, in alphabetical order...
Bad Company, first time nominees. Yeah. I love that. That's about right. The Black Crows, first time they've been nominated as well. Those two are definitely going to get in at some point, if not this time around. Mariah Carey is up for it again. Rock and roll. And how about this? Philadelphia's own Chubby Checkers. Yes.
First time nominee. I know he and his family have been trying for a long time. It's so obvious. It's painful. Yeah.
him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So, I mean, you have two that should have been a long time ago. Mariah Carey and Chubby Shaker, right? No, but I'm really happy for the family because that means once you start, once your name starts getting thrown in there, you are eventually going to make it into the Hall of Fame. Absolutely. So, that's great news for Chubby and Philadelphia. Joe Cocker is nominated for the first time, by the way. That's a wild veteran of Woodstock. Yeah.
Billy Idol, first time nominated as well. Joy Division and New Order. Oh, I'm a massive fan of both Joy Division and New Order. They've been up for it before. Okay, so are they the same band? Like, what's going on there? Yeah, so Joy Division, I think it had the same members. There were a few different people, and it was, I don't know why they've lumped them together, Case. I'm not really sure. Okay.
Uh, Cindy Lauper is also being, uh, in, uh, nominated. It's Lauper. Uh, and then we have someone I'm not familiar with. Mana. M-A-N-A. And the second A has a little accent mark over it. So I don't know much about them. Uh, but they're a first time nominee. Oasis is back up again for, uh, potential induction. Outkast is a first time nominee. Uh, a band called Fit. Hey!
First time case. First time nominee. Yeah. I'm just glad that they're nominated. Listen, they may not have the record sales, but they have been a band since 1983. You know, with a couple of hiatuses here and there, I go to see them every single year, and they are always...
Always packing stadiums. Well, technically, this should not be about record sales. It's not. As it said, it's an artist's impact on other musicians, the scope and longevity of their career and body of work, which is clearly where they fall, as well as their innovation and excellence in style and technique. That's them. It's pretty interpretive. I mean, you can, you know, anybody can make it in technically. So they are up for it.
And also the final two nominees are Soundgarden and The White Stripes. That's a pretty respectable list of nominees. Yeah, there's some good stuff in there. It's until I start to see the list of people who have not been nominated. But it sounds pretty good. What were we going to say? I'm sorry. When do we find out who's being inducted? Late April. Okay. Yeah, the inductees will be revealed in late April.
The 1983 Tom Petty Heartbreakers Beach Party documentary is coming to Paramount Plus on March 11th. The documentary had a limited theatrical release last October. Cameron Crowe directed and said that at the time, Petty himself urged him to pick up the camera and capture a raw, direct performance. Adria Petty, Tom's daughter, who actually spoke to Pierre not that long ago,
helped restore the film from unlabeled reels and noted its uniqueness, saying, for Tom to give more than an hour-long interview, that never happened again. The documentary originally aired on MTV in 1983 without much hype at the time. Cameron Crowe said Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
leaned into the making of the film with a kind of hilarious musical honesty that still feels fresh 40 years later. My wife is going to be all over this. Coming out on March 11th, Paul McCartney put on a surprise show at New York City's Bowery Ballroom tomorrow.
Last night. All the tickets were sold at the Bowery Ballroom box office, none being sold online, and they went fast. This was his first performance in the city in roughly three years. He played a career-spanning set.
Featuring hits from Beatles, Wings, to his own solo stuff. The crowd got to enjoy an intimate performance. It was in a 575-person capacity venue. And they got hits like Hey Jude, Get Back. Could you imagine that? Now and then. And an encore of Golden Slumbers slash The End. So it was totally like a surprise thing. I think it sold out in 20 minutes. Yeah. That's amazing. That would be incredible to be in a room like that. I hope they filmed it.
Yeah. Remember when he did that thing with James Corden a few years ago when he did the carpool karaoke and then he ended up at that pub in Liverpool? It was so cool. Yeah, and they just pulled the curtains back and all of a sudden Paul McCartney and his band are up on stage. I mean, that was, you know, I love when any act ever does anything like this. Yep.
Jack White has just released a new live EP. It's called No Name Live. And the EP features five songs recorded during his 2024 tour where he surprised fans with pop-up shows in historic clubs around the world. Speaking of people popping up and playing. The EP is available on all streaming platforms.
The release matches up with the start of White's No Name Tour, which continues to the end of May. The track list includes That's How I'm Feeling, Old Scratch Blues, Archbishop Harold Holmes, Morning at Midnight, and Rough on Rats. And they were all recorded at different shows throughout that stretch. And then one last thing, now that they've found their new drummer, Primus is ready to cook with their new frying pan.
The legendary rock band launched a limited edition frying pan as part of their Club Bastardo merch line. We like to rock and we like to fry. The pan, priced at $99.99, became an instant hit with fans and quickly sold out. No word on when or if it'll be restocked, but Primus has a history of releasing weird merchandise so that there's hope for another batch of them in the future. Frontman Les Claypool has been involved in all sorts of outside-the-box projects,
From custom wine to fishing gear. So a frying pan fits right in there. For now, those who missed out will have to wait and see if more become available. Until then, Primus continues to prove that they'll always keep things weird. I like this idea, Case. What about fish in a crock pot? People will do that. Fish in an air fryer is probably better. All right.
And then one last thing, secret text word time. We've got to get a winner. So, Nick, you get to pick that number. What number caller? 15. All right. Caller number 15 at 215-263-WMMR if you know the secret text word. You win these tickets to the Philadelphia Home and Garden show that we have over here. Random text or two. We'll get that winner on top of that when we return. Stay with us. Is your phone an Apple?
You know, full of useless apps taking up space. Well, get rid of them and get the WMMR app. You can listen to us wherever you go, get important alerts and so much more. Because, after all, the world needs less apples. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. 93.3 WMMR. It's Everything Rocks. Mike Shinoda's birthday was yesterday at Lincoln Park.
And Emily Anderson, the new vocalist in there, I think doing a great job. It is 1036, the Empty Nymphs Machine, bringing us...
To the end of our program today. And I want to thank you for being a part of today's show. We got a lot of great phone calls this morning. And we talked about a bunch of different things. Thank you to Mike and Alex. Fox 29 this morning. Check them with those guys. We debuted Bird Bot, who is back in our fold once again. And will be joining us for the live broadcast at the parade.
And we'll be at the Cambria Hotel, which is 219 South Broad Street. So cast your eyes up. Just one floor up, you'll be able to see us. We'll be on the second story balcony. I can't think of a better perch for BirdBot 2.0 than that balcony. Yeah, at BirdBot, we're working on a banner that we're going to have up front. So you'll be able to see us and identify where we are if you happen to be a fan of the show. And yeah, just getting excited for BirdBot.
Friday and all of the festivities. We were looking for a number caller for the secret text word and it was number 15 and that happens to be Jennifer. So we'll go to her. Hi there, Jennifer.
Morning, go birds. Go birds. Jennifer, what is our secret text word today? Soil. Soil. Yeah, that's correct. Jennifer, hang on. We have tickets for you to go to the Philadelphia Home and Garden Show, which is why Casey pulled out Wicked Garden for us to play right now. Fair enough.
February 21st to 23rd, the Expo Center in Oaks. And tickets at phillyhomeandgarden.com. And for discount tickets, use the promo code Casey, C-A-S-E-Y. I would also like to congratulate a random text that won as well. And that is Samantha Seidek, who is from Gloucester City, New Jersey. So congratulations, Samantha. You get to go to the Philadelphia Home and Garden Show as well. February 21st, 23rd, Expo Center at Oaks.
Oaks and we need to do the letter of the day. Fortunately, we have the keeper of said letter making his way over to the microphone as we speak. Are you ready, sir? I'm kept. All right. Here we go. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the daily letter. All right. The President and Steve show brought to you today by the letter. P as in percolate. All right. P. Percolate. Like cup coffee. Mm-hmm.
We got $500 to give away, by the way, from Captain America. And don't miss Marvel Studios' Captain America Brave New World starring Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford. It's in theaters everywhere on Friday. You can get your tickets now. We are at the end of our show. We're at the beginning of yours, sir. What's happening today? Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. That's right. Yes. Thank you. Closing time. Thank you.
What'd you say? We love you. I love you too. I'd like to do a dissertation on love at this moment. Love is beautiful.
All right, we'll move on. And that's your dissertation. Thank you. Love is beautiful. You'll be home in time for dinner. Get it if you can find it. That is good. Pay for it if you have to. Actually, I... Did you hear that? What? He said pay for it if you have to. Love is love, man. Love is love. Well, we're coming up on Valentine's Day. Doesn't matter if it has a receipt. And...
I took a seminar once where they said love is accepting someone exactly as they are, be it a partner or friend or...
family member. So, so much so that were you to be able to recreate them from the ground up, you would create them exactly as they are complete with all of their annoying little ticks and tacks and things like that. So, that was this person's definition of love. Here's a list of five things you can do better.
That's love. All right, there you are. On the program today, I will have workforce blocks of Kings of Leon. Rayman Zarek of the Doors would have been 86 today. And I will do a block of the Doors and a block of Rush. Oh, wow. Love it. Yes, got a request.
I'll take a one. Anything except bite or in the snow. Yeah, I think it's something that makes sense. I'd like to thank our sponsors. The presidency shows brought to you today by the local shots at the Landis live and local music every Thursday.
This week, don't miss the Jaspers. Information at thelandis.com. Also brought to you by Duncan, the president of Steve's Show, runs in Duncan, and brought to you by Acme Markets, fresh foods, local flavors. My little sheet of information for tomorrow, it says we're going to have on the program Dude Wide Open. Oh, wow. He's great. I've seen every one of his movies. Dude Wide Open.
That means we will fill tomorrow with whatever we want to with. So we'll see where that goes. Maybe Chuck's favorite. Maybe Stack-O-Topics. Stack-O-Topics. He loves Stack-O-Topics. He does. So we'll see what we get into. And hopefully Kathy will be back. She's not feeling good today. Nick, thank you for filling in today. Yeah, buddy. All right, that's it. We're done. Ray John, have a great day. And we'll see you tomorrow, friend. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Preston and the Student on 93.3 WMMR. Hey, everybody. It's good to have you on the map.
