WMMR, Philadelphia. I think you're sleeping. I'm sleeping, you want towels? Towels need sleepy.

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

Nick McElwain. I'm just not the hero type. And Marissa Magnata. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Ha ha! Hey! Ha ha!

Yes, it's time to get started and welcome Brent Thursday morning is indeed here, is it not? Let's take a look at the weather forecast for today. That rain that we were expecting has been falling and the high today about 47. It is clearing out most of the snow is going to be, you know, some piles here and there where the plows push them into a larger kind of dune size area.

structures and but to you the the salt and all that should wash off your car today hype about 47 like i said now tomorrow for the parade sunshine high of 37 but in the morning while this is going on it's going to be cold 30 mile an hour gusts yeah it's going to be windy it's going to feel like it's in the 20s so make sure that you do bundle up heads up on that saturday some rain returning high 38 and then sunday we shoot way up temperature wise going to hit around 50 degrees

With some rain, it cools down after that. And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano. And today is Thursday, the 13th of February. As I said, Kathy's out. I'll handle the news. Duty's good morning. We'll start with this. Two Navy pilots are safe after a military fighter jet crashed in the San Diego Bay.

in California. Navy officials said that both pilots ejected from the plane around 10.17 a.m. local time before it crashed into the water. They were the only people on board the aircraft, which a Navy official identified as an EA-18G Growler, which is a variant of the F-18F Super Hornet.

The wreckage police described as a large debris field was near Naval Air Station North Island, home to Naval Base Coronado. The pilots were rescued by the Premier, which is a fishing vessel owned by a local charter company, and it got to them only a minute after they were rescued.

Wow.

of the crash. Struggling fabric and crafts seller Joanne plans to close about 500 of its stores across the U.S., including several in the Philadelphia region. The one that I go to is in the Marple Crossroads.

That's where we did the Philly Fanatic crowd surfing thing. Right, right, yeah. That's where I got the Philly Fanatic fabric. So, Case, they have a full list of the closures, and there were a lot. So I don't have them here. I'm not going to go through the whole list. You'll need to check online for that. The move announced Wednesday arrives amid a tumultuous time for Joanne. Last month, the Hudson, Ohio-based retailer...

had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time within a year, with the company pointing to issues like sluggish consumer demand and inventory shortages. Joanne previously saw Chapter 11 in March of last year and later emerged as a private company. But after operational changes continued to pile up, Joanne filed for bankruptcy again in January, is now looking to sell the business and maintained in a filing Wednesday that

closing underperforming locations is necessary to compete to complete the process. Joanne currently operates around 800 stores across 49 states. That's pretty healthy. Yeah, I didn't know that. The initial list of the roughly 500 locations it's looking to close continues.

can be found on the company's restructuring website spanning states, including Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and more. To be honest, I was completely unfamiliar. I mean, it's an arts and crafts, basically, right? Well, I mean, it's a fabric store. Fabric store, okay. You know, think like Michael's. Like Michael's. But it's more fabric based. Okay, all right. When exactly those closures will take place and how many employees will be impacted has yet to be seen. Both of Joanne's bankruptcy filings...

seen over the last year arrived amid some slowdowns in discretionary spending, notably with consumers taking a step back from at-home crafts, at least relative to the COVID-19 pandemic boom. Joanne has also faced rising competition in the crafts space from rivals like Hobby Lobby, as well as from larger retailers like Target, who now offer ample art supplies and kits.

A Delaware County woman is recovering after she was bitten by a dog in the middle of the Eagles Super Bowl celebrations. What? And listen to this, man. Madison Richards, 24 years old, said she was on South Broad Street with her friends after the Eagles won the Super Bowl when she was bit by a dog on her face.

Oh, man. Yes, it required her to get more than a dozen stitches. She said, I didn't realize something was wrong until my friend started screaming. And then she was like, am I okay? And then she felt blood on her face. She says that it happened on Broad Street in South Philly. She and her friends have been out celebrating with the crowds. Around midnight, they were walking home when she said she and her friends asked a couple to pet their dog. And she said they all pet the dog.

on the head, and I just kind of, well, I was standing in front of it, and I was like, what jersey is that? And then it just jumped in my face, she said, and bit her on the face. Wow. She says her boyfriend carried her to the fire station on Broad and Bainbridge Streets. Medics bandaged her up, and an ambulance took her to Jefferson Hospital. She got 15 stitches and rabies shots. She says that's out of precaution because she can't find the dog's owner. Her dad, William, said...

There was a lot of activity. They were loud. They were loud. There were fireworks going off. The smarts would be, let's not bring a dog to the parade, to the celebration. Yes. They said, if you can come forward, that would be great. And just let me know. They're talking about the animals vaccination status.

She made a police report, and central detectives are investigating the incident. So when that happened, Preston, I went to take my dog, Kizzy, out into the backyard to go to the bathroom. Fireworks started going off. She hung a 180 and went inside. So, yeah, probably not the best place to take a dog. Yeah. And I have one more story I'm going to throw in here, and it's...

about the Eagles as well. So wide receiver A.J. Brown said that he would make a special visit to 10-year-old Andre Trey Howard III, who was hospitalized with severe head injuries, suffered during the Northeast Philadelphia plane crash. And on Wednesday, Brown kept his word. He made a visit to CHOP. He came bearing gifts and even surprised a real-life superhero with a call from Saquon Barkley. Aww.

Andre's mother, LaShawna Lala Hamill, had posted photos of Brown and Andre together from his hospital room on their Facebook page. Howard can be seen wearing a Kelly Green jersey, a brown jersey, by the way, an Eagles chain, and a Super Bowl 59 championship hat that they posed with a Lombardi trophy as well behind a table full of Eagles gear. After Andre had been struck in the head by debris, you remember the story from the plane crash near Roosevelt Mall. He awoke in the hospital with two questions.

Did he save his sister? And did he miss the Super Bowl? He did save his sister. He hadn't seen the Super Bowl. He hadn't missed the Super Bowl. And he ended up watching from his room at CHOP on Sunday. And his story inspired several Eagles, including Brown, who said that they would play for Howard on Sunday. So it's a great story. Love it. Happy about that. Love that. All right. In sports this morning. Let's do it. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy. What is that?

The Sixers lost again. What the f*** is this? They fell to the Nets 196 last night in Brooklyn. D'Angelo Russell had 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists. Nets sent the Sixers to their 5th straight loss in both teams' last game before the All-Star break. Sixers were playing without Joel Embiid. Continues to have that left knee injury. And Tyrese Maxey, who also has a right ankle sprain. And they are off for the next week and don't play until...

Thursday, the 20th, they'll host the Celtics in hockey. The Four Nations tournament began last night, and Team Canada beat Team Sweden, winning 4-3 in overtime. Sidney Crosby started things off with a no-look pass to Nathan McKinnon for a power play goal in the first minute of the game, and then Crosby sent Canada fans home happy.

by assisting on Mitch Marner's overtime winner. Overall, Crosby had three assists to help Canada beat Sweden in the opener of the Four Nations faceoff. And tonight, the Americans will take on Team Finland with a game in Montreal. That puck will drop at eight. And then finally...

In Clearwater, Florida, Phillies pitchers and catchers reported to Baycare Ballpark yesterday for their first official workout. The rest of the team will have its first full workout on Monday, but many position players will also be there this week. And the Phillies return with most of their pitching staff from 2024, minus Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez.

But with the additions of left-handed starter Jesus Lizardo and right-handed reliever Jordan Romano and starter Joe Ross. Great Food League schedule runs through March 24th. And the team's first spring training game is next Saturday, February 22nd against the Tigers. Oh, and the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

By the way, when do we head to Florida? March 12th. Wow. We're there March 12th to March 16th, and we will be at the ballpark on Thursday, March 13th. And then we'll be there.

Okay, and then back at Coco's on Friday, March 14th. All right, so we're a month out, and we're in FLA, and then we're talking baseball. We got to get through a couple other things, though, between now and then. Of course, tomorrow, a live broadcast from the parade. Oh, and then we have the Cardboard Classic on the way on the 28th. I can't believe it. You know, we've been so focused on football and Eagles and Super Bowl and parade and all this stuff that the Cardboard Classic...

We need to get ready for that. We need to be ready for that. There's no way you can put on the calendar, win Super Bowl, have parade. So we didn't know this was going to happen. We're glad it did, but it certainly sort of mucks up things a little bit. It's okay, though. Oh, well, yeah. I mean, we're excited. I mean, we're stoked for it. It's just there's a lot on our plate, and we're hoping you're going to be a part of this whole thing.

Um, we, uh, mentioning the, um, uh, the parade and, and the live broadcast, uh, Marissa yesterday went and scoped out our area at the, uh, Cambria hotel and made a video of where we will be. This is going to be so perfect. So wonderfully awesome. Our location is just top notch. How could you have any better? Nope. You can't. We are, we're very excited for this and hopefully you'll have a chance to, um,

Be out in the street in our area, and we'll share this in proximity. If not, don't worry about it. We'll be telling you what we're doing and what's going on via the radio, and we hope that you will listen in as you are taking in the celebrations. Like I said, it's going to be cold. It's going to be windy, so just make sure that you are prepared in any way, shape, and form for that.

We are going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. We have an entertainment report on the way with a stupid question all set to go. And it is forward momentum on this Thursday. We'll be right back.

All right. Thank you, sir. So stupid question this morning. We're going to give away a four-packet tickets for the Philadelphia Fishing Show, which is this weekend, by the way, the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks. Here's the question we posed to you, continuing our Black History Month questions. So the historic game...

Where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points, took place in what Pennsylvania city? Here's a hint. It was not Philadelphia. 215-263-WMMR. Let's see if you know the answer to this. Historic game where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points, took place in what Pennsylvania city?

Pennsylvania City. Call now. We've got several birthdays to mention, today being the 13th day of February. And we will start with one from the world of Greece. It is... Yes. Stockard Channing's birthday. Yes.

She's 81 years old. Yeah, she was 61 when she played Rizzo, right? High school student. Yeah, there's a little suspension of reality, but she was great in the role. That's the one I was telling you about. So when Grease was out, it was just massive. And me and my friends, we'd listen to the soundtrack constantly.

Except this song. Except this song, really? This is the one we would always fast forward over. Do you know who killed it was Vanessa Hudgens in that live Grease that they did on Fox? She just tore the hell out of this, man. It was awesome. But I now have appreciation for this song. I actually like it now. Well, because she's the misunderstood...

Yes. Yes. Tender but tough. Tender but tough. They say. Rizzo. Who are with the heart of gold? Stockard Channing is 81 years old today. Actor Neil McDonough. I love this guy. He is really good. So he's kind of that guy. In the MCU, he plays in Captain America. He plays Dum Dum. The guy that has the bowler. Yeah. And with the Sergeant Insignia on that. But he was also like the bad guy in Walking Tall. Yeah.

He was in Minority Report. The dude has, like, crystal clear blue eyes. Crystal clear blue eyes, but he always, almost invariably, except for, like, Captain America, which was terrific and plays a bad...

a bastard. Yeah, he can play that very well. I'm watching, like I told you, I'm watching Band of Brothers and he's one of the main characters in that, which is great. Do you know he has a, I guess a caveat in his contract, for lack of a better legal term, that he is, he does no on-screen kissing of other women? No. Yeah. He's married, out of deference to his wife. Interesting. Yeah, yeah. All right, he's 59 today. Uh,

The very beautiful Maina Savari has her birthday. American Beauty and American Pie, two big ones for her. We had her on about a year ago to talk about a horror movie that she's done. She's getting into the horror realm now. So she is 46 years old today. Actress Sophia Lillis. If you saw the most recent versions, well, the two movies, It and...

She played Beverly, the redhead. Beverly. She's great. Beverly. Beverly. One more time, Case. Beverly. And she was also in the Dungeons and Dragons movie. I like her a lot. She's really? I liked that movie. She turned 23 today. I thought it was fun. We also have, oh, Steve, actor Richard Tyson. Yeah. And he's the bad guy in Kindergarten Cop. Yeah.

And he's also the bad guy in one of my favorite kind of niche movies called Three O'Clock High. He plays Buddy Revell, the bad guy who's got to get in a fight with this guy at the end of school. Do you know what's popping up constantly on my social media is the scene in the library where they hire the guy to go defend him. And he knocks all the bookcases down. And he just goes...

It's such a great scene. I need to re-watch that movie. The camera work is great in it, too. He's 64 years old today. Musically, Peter Gabriel celebrates his birthday today. Honestly, one of my greatest concert experiences ever was watching him do the album, So, straight through right here. That album's a masterpiece. It is amazing. It is absolutely incredible. He is one...

Soulful, wonderful musician. And you know what he did? He did this thing where he actually got on a bicycle and the bicycle was suspended upside down and rode it around. Yeah. He would do very interesting theatrics. Not only his solo shows Genesis, he did really, really weird stuff. Costumes like Muppet, like almost like Gwar. Yeah.

So he turns 75 years old today. Happy birthday to Peter Gabriel. And just as tender as Peter Gabriel, it's Henry Rollins' birthday today. Yes!

This is the only Rollins we have. This is the only Rollins we have. We don't have Lyre. We used to. I didn't even know this. Neither do I. All right. Him and William Shatner.

He and William have done a couple things together. They have a great song. Oh, man, what is it called? It's from...

It's from the album that we love that he and Ben Folds 5. Oh, if you're a pop? No, it's Has Been is the name of the album. Oh, right, yeah, yeah. But I forgot the song they did together. It's great. I mean, they're just screaming the whole time during it. But I love Henry Rollins. He's wonderful. His stand-up stuff, his one-man show stuff is fantastic. Spoken Word programs that he does are excellent. He is 64 today. I've said this before. When his tour schedule hits...

He works every day. I don't know how you do it. For like eight, ten months. Yeah. Not one single day off. He goes from city to city, venue to venue, and does it every night. And from what I understand, every single show is different. It's not a stand-up routine. He just comes out, and he has a diatribe that he goes through. The man has got a lot to say. He sure does. He is 64 today. Musician Robbie Williams has his birthday. Oh!

Got that monkey movie out. Yep. A Better Man? Yeah. We just played Better Man. Which is about his career, right? Yeah. It's about him. I've always actually... Not always, but I've been a bit... Especially around this period. This is when I became aware of him. Singer, songwriter. Some really great stuff. He's known for his eccentricities. In Europe, he's huge. The problem with Better Man, not so much here. I don't know anybody...

anything about him other than his name and he's really famous in England. He was recounting a story where a couple people, he was on Graham Horton and they were talking about Taylor Swift had him come out and even she didn't quite get it and he came out in a stadium

I guess maybe it's the O2 Arena or whatever and brought him out as a special guest. And she's like, okay, yeah, we'll have Robbie Williams. And the crowd, they exploded. And she's like, oh, I guess you're big here. I heard that this movie is good, Steve, because he makes the monkey himself in a self-deprecating kind of a way. Like he uses the monkey as an example of like he was kind of a jackass and an idiot and a clown when he was younger in his career. And so in order to not take himself seriously, he was like, let's portray me as a monkey in this movie. I think I want to see it now.

The only thing I know about this guy is that he was supposed to perform in Ted Lasso at the... Oh, yeah. At the... The charity. Yeah, yeah. And he couldn't make it. So they grabbed a dude, just a busker off the street, and he came in and played and was a huge hit. He's 51 today. Voice actress Carolyn Lawrence. You know her better as Sandy the Squirrel.

on Spongebob Squarepants. I love her. And she's getting her own movie. Do you know what's a funny thing? And you know how just bizarrely, arbitrarily, characters can rub people the wrong way? My wife loves...

SpongeBob SquarePants, but hates Sandy. I love Sandy. She's one of my favorite characters on that show. She is 58 today. And last birthday is Prince Michael Jackson. Wow. Michael's son with Debbie Rowe turns 28 today. 28. 28. Man. Is that blanket? Is that the one that was hovering over the... I don't remember. I don't know.

Happy birthday. All right, let's see if we can get an answer to the stupid question this morning. So the historic game where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points took place in a town in Pennsylvania. Which one was it? We are going to go to Carmen, see if we can get that answer. Carmen, good morning.

Go birds. Go birds. Carmen, where did he score 100 points in one game? If I get this right, this is the second time I've won stupid questions, and both were Wilt Chamberlain questions. Wow. Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hershey is correct, yes. Nice job, Carmen. Congrats. Hang on. He'll be our Wilt Chamberlain go-to guide.

We're going to give them tickets to go to the Philadelphia Fishing Show. It's this week in Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks. Friday through Sunday, buy the best saltwater and freshwater tackle, gear and apparel and more. And you can visit phillyfishingshow.com for more details. We've got a lot to get to, so I'm going to start with this. A gentleman by the name of Guy Barr and another one by the name of Ori Bergerino are two digital marketers based in Israel. And they typically use artificial intelligence to create commercial advertisements. But

After Kanye West's latest anti-Semitic stunt, a Super Bowl ad directing viewers to a website selling a single swastika t-shirt for $20, they decided to use their AI skills to condemn West's bigoted antics, or rather to make it look as if a bunch of

celebrities were speaking out against him. Right. And they are behind a video that quickly went viral this week featuring AI generated versions of various Jewish public figures, including Jerry Seinfeld, Scarlett Johansson, David Schwimmer, Steven Spielberg, Michael Bloomberg, Larry Page,

Sergey Brin, among others. In the video, celebrities are seen wearing white T-shirts with the word Kanye on them above a hand, giving the middle finger with a Star of David in the middle of that. It concludes with an AI-generated Adam Sandler flipping his finger at the camera. The other AI-generated figures in the video are Drake, Mark Zuckerberg, Sacha Baron Cohen, Lisa Goudreau, Paul Simon, and Art Garfunkel, Jack Black, Lenny Kravitz, Natalie Portman, Woody Allen,

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Mila Kunis, Ben Stiller, and Adam Levine. Barr said, we deliberately chose very understated video style, completely opposite to the aggressive and provocative way Kanye West expresses himself. And we wanted to use their voices, so to speak, to tell Kanye West your anti-Semitism and incitement to violence have crossed every possible line. But the video, which was created without the consent of the celebrities,

has had an unintended impact. Much of the conversation surrounding it has been focused on concerns about using AI to generate images of real people without their permission rather than on the anti-Semitism that it was meant to protest. So when I first saw it, it seemed fairly convincing. And then I've heard that they were using AI, but they got the consent. So both are wrong. They didn't get the consent of anybody in it. And, you know,

I agree with the message, but you kind of have to get people to sign off on stuff before you do something like this. Johansson, who has previously spoken out against AI-generated videos featuring her likeness, said in a statement Wednesday that while she is a Jewish woman who has no tolerance for anti-Semitism or hate speech of any kind, she considered the video a misuse of AI.

She said it has been brought to my attention by family members and friends that an AI generated video featuring my likeness in response to the anti-Semitic view has been circulating online and gaining traction. And she said I have unfortunately been a very public victim of AI. But the truth is that the threat of AI affects each and every one of us.

And she also called on Congress to pass legislation that would protect people against the imminent dangers of AI. As of reporting time, though, none of the other celebrities featured in the video have commented on it publicly. Well, the swimmer recently spoke out against West's sick hate speech in an Instagram story, which we reported on. I think one of the issues, and I think Woody Allen complained because they put his head on Goldberg's body.

It looked weird. Barr said that he and Bejarano have not heard directly from any of the people depicted in the video. He said that they have read Johansson's statement and that they deeply respected her stance on AI and the broader conversation surrounding AI usage. That said, Barr stated the video in question was not created for commercial purposes, but rather as an artistic and cultural statement aimed at confronting rising anti-Semitism.

Wendy Williams is heading to Miami this weekend to celebrate her dad's 94th birthday, marking the first time in months that she's been able to socialize outside of her care facility. While she's looking forward to the trip, she'll also be seeing her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., whom she believes financially took advantage of her leading to court order guardianship.

During an appearance, recently Wendy addressed the situation, staying diplomatic but making it clear that she's eager to see Kevin. In Saving Wendy, which is TMZ's new documentary streaming on Tubi, she details how her guardianship began after Wells Fargo flagged large unauthorized withdrawals, which she suspected involved Kevin and others, though he denies any wrongdoing.

A judge reviewing her case seemed to side with her, stating in court documents, while Mr. Hunter, who is her son Kevin, apologized for past mistakes and inappropriate behavior. The court is not convinced that he can keep her safe and wouldn't willingly or unwittingly expose her to financial exploitation. Could you imagine if it's your own kid who's setting you up this way?

And there's more. TMZ sources just revealed that Williams signed an affidavit requesting a judge dissolve her guardianship. Williams' affidavit supposedly maintains she does not have frontotemporal dementia despite the claims made.

of her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and that she insists that she has regained capacity to function without a guardian. Winnie will also see a doctor for an evaluation and has a lawyer ready to push through all legal avenues to have her guardianship case seen by a judge and a jury. So we'll see what the doctor has to say. Yeah, definitely breaking in her favor right now. Yep, we'll see where that goes. Cynthia Erivo says,

Is adding another award to her mantle. The actress will be the recipient of its annual Stephen F. Kolzak Prize at the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards. And that award is given to a queer celebrity each year who has raised visibility and promoted acceptance of LGBTQ people and issues.

The award will be presented to Erivo at the ceremony on March 27th in Los Angeles. Other celebrities that will also be awarded at the show will be Billie Eilish, Elton John, Adam Lambert, and Omar Apollo. There are others as well to receive the recognition during that event. So Cynthia Erivo got completely shut out of the Tasties. It was kind of weird. She's getting a GLAAD award, though. She'll be happy about that.

Jon Stewart is putting his hosting talents to work for a great cause. The Comedian will be returning as host of the upcoming Autism Benefit concert, Night of Too Many Stars.

The comedy concert and auction event, which benefits Next for Autism, is set for Monday, March 31st. It'll be at New York's Beacon Theater. And along with John, an all-star cast of performance will join in the event. So Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Amy Schumer, Ronnie Ching, Alex Higgins.

Edelman, Susie Essman, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Garlin, James Austin Johnson, Sam Morrell, Please Don't Destroy. Yeah, the guys from SNL who do the videos. Okay. Sarah Sherman and Max Weinberg's jukebox with more names to be announced. So the guys of Please Don't Destroy are all their kids of...

veteran SNL writers and legends in the business. So it's a super talented group. Okay.

I normally don't give you much on the housewives because I can't stand that stuff. Oh, I thought you loved them. But the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Teddy Mellencamp, revealed yesterday that doctors found multiple brain tumors that require emergency surgery. Yeah, I saw this. So the reality star told followers on her Instagram that she had been suffering debilitating headaches for weeks. It's horrible. And finally, she said the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization. After a CAT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain.

which they believe have been growing for at least six months. Oh, man. Mellencamp explained that she was to have two of the tumors surgically removed yesterday, adding the remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date. So hopefully they can get a handle on that. Yeah, yeah.

All right, so I thought this was kind of fun. Liam Neeson has once again taken up the mantle of one of his most iconic characters. The actor stepped back into his role as Brian Mills from his beloved Taken franchise. And he did it to sell a house.

In a playful video promoting a house for sale in Melbourne's Mulgrave suburb, Neeson provided his famous voice for the ad addressing the realtor, a person named Ming Zhu. He said, listen, Ming, I'm shooting a movie at the moment. Do a video and send it to me. And in the clip, there's a little exchange where Zhu warns, sure, you better be quick. Otherwise, this home will be taken. Yeah.

And the actor couldn't appear in person but recorded the voiceover as a favor to the homeowners who were longtime friends of his. In the video, he says something like, that's very original. When he says taken. Good for him. He's doing it as a favor. I think after acting, he could be a Century 21 realtor. He'd probably look good in that coat. In tandem as well. He doesn't have to wait to retire. Yeah.

A big name is close to coming on board in a big role in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series. John Lithgow is reportedly nearing a deal to star as Professor Albus Dumbledore in the upcoming HBO reboot.

While Deadline reported the rumor, HBO is remaining mum, saying in a statement, we appreciate that such a high-profile series will draw a lot of rumor and speculation. As we make our way through pre-production, we will only confirm details as we finalize deals. I could see him doing that, but playing him as Churchill. That would be really cool. Combine both characters. The series is expected to run 10 years.

and cover the same ground as the film franchise. And there will be more detail from the books. That's what you're, right. So there, obviously, there's a very rabid book,

fan base, a very rabid movie fan base, and there's some crossover, but they're very protective, and obviously there's a ton of stuff they couldn't get to in the books. Yeah, and this is why streaming is so good, because you can flesh things out, you know? Especially with, you know, you have something as rich as that whole series. Steve, I was telling you about a movie that he's in that's coming out in March. It's him and Jeffrey Rush. Yes. I don't know if you saw it. I think it's called The Rule of Jenny Penn. It's like a horror...

thriller. I saw it mentioned. I'll have to check it out. Nick, do you think they'll include Peeves in the story? Yeah, to Casey's point. They're going to flesh out stuff that they either left out or didn't pay enough attention to. I remember vividly leaving the theater after the last one, after Deathly Hallows Part 2. It might have even been impressive in Steve's show screening. Sitting with two women who were disappointed at the amount of book stuff that had been left out of the series. I get it. To me, they're separate universes.

If you love the books, you love the books. If you love the movies, you can love the movies, and you can love them differently and separately. But there are so many parts of, especially the later books. Like if you read Order of the Phoenix, and you know what, it's...

Half-Blood Prince. They go so into Voldemort's backstory, how he became who he was. I'd love to see that. Yeah. So hopefully they'll get a chance. And that's usually what the series can do. Do they go into his years of attempting to get on the Notre Dame football team and be denied because of his stature? Well, he wasn't very tall, Steve. Yeah. And a lot of people doubted him. And watch with your nose.

Seth Rogen has a new show coming to Apple TV+. The new series called The Studio features Rogen as the studio executive in Hollywood. It features a technical challenge for the people that are making this. The studio, apparently each scene...

In each episode of the show will be one long shot without cuts. Oh, wow. Yeah, so that's going to be tough. Why go through all that trouble for a comedy? Well, Seth said we wanted the show to have an immersive, manic energy to it because that's our experience, being in these rooms with people yelling at each other. And we wanted to throw you into it and create this sort of unpredictable scene.

So I've heard of it as a combination of the walk and talk from the West Wing with the kitchen scenes from The Bear. The Bear, okay. The studio will premiere on March 26th.

Then we'll do a couple of quick things. Just a day after we learned the production had wrapped on the sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale, a trailer has come out and a premiere date for the hit series. Season six will debut April 8th with a three episode drop with new episodes arriving weekly on Tuesdays until the May 27th finale. So looking forward to that.

And then one last thing, if you've ever wondered what it's like to be inside the world of Major League Baseball, an upcoming docuseries will take you beyond the ticket window and into the dugout. It's called The Clubhouse, A Year with the Red Sox. And it walks in the footsteps of such productions as Hard Knocks and Drive to Survive that take viewers inside the sports they love. The Clubhouse will follow the Boston Red Sox through their 2024 season, in which the team finished third in their division with an 81-81 record.

the eight episode doc series will give never before seen access to the great american game that will debut on april 8th by the way when they pick the socks it's kind of an average season for them last year and you know pick a team like the phillies where there's a bunch of ups and downs and uh disappointment at the end of the season i don't know it just says like i mean i love the red socks and i love the history of fenway and the whole franchise and everything like that but that story's been told so many damn times over the last 20 years i

I think, obviously, they have to choose ahead of time. They don't know what the season's going to be like. They could rig it. Yeah. I mean, do you recall, Nick, whether or not they had a promising season ahead of them? No, not really. I don't think they were picked to do that well. The O's had come off a 100-plus win season. Whatever. I don't get to choose these things. All right. I'll just pitch about them at the door. Please, just pitch. Okay.

We got some clips here. Bring Them Down shows the misfortunes of an Irish shepherd, shepherding family. Oh. Who face conflicts that are affecting their livelihood. The film has an impeccable cast. And here Christopher Abbott describes it.

describes his admiration for Irish actor Colm Meaney. Colin's a legend, you know, especially in Ireland. You know, he's over the years in so many movies and he always just sort of brings it, you know, on top of just doing the scenes with him and getting to act, he's just a fun time outside of that. He's a great storyteller and I just like hanging out with him. Shut up! Bringing Him Down is now in theaters. Here's our next clip. ♪

Cobra Kai wrapped up production. It's final season and the cast is excited for fans to enjoy the last several episodes. In this clip, Tanner Buchanan shares his appreciation for the whole cast and crew. So many people...

got so close and you just can't recreate that or fake it or anything and I think we're going to be each other's lives forever which is cool and just having the opportunity to be a part of something so big and for the fans and people to enjoy it so much I think that's all we can ask for and it's been such a wild ride so fun

Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3, the very final, streams today on Netflix. Are you excited? Oh, yeah. Are you going to have a watching party? Big time. Yeah, we're stoked about it. We've spent, you know, we've watched each season multiple times. Yes. I'm loving it. So we're sad and happy that it's coming to a close. Bittersweet. Yeah. All right, that is your entertainment report for you this morning.

we hope you're going to stick with us today. We've got some stuff to get to. We have kind of an interesting mystery guest, an anonymous guest we're going to talk to later on this morning. I don't even know if I want to

tease ahead of time why we're having this person on the show. Well, it had to do with a Bizarre File story from yesterday. And that's kind of what started it. And it led us to an off-air conversation. And I think it's going to be a fascinating conversation later this morning. It's poised to be very fascinating. But I will say maybe it'll fall into the weirdest 3% of things we've ever talked about on the show. Yeah. It involves the ass. I will tell you that. But other than that, maybe we'll wait. Oh!

And then some. That too. All right, so let's take a break. We'll come back in just a moment, so stay with us. Wouldn't it be great if there was a place to listen to MMR online nationwide where you could sign up for an MMR insider newsletter so you never miss the important stuff on All Things Rock? Maybe see Preston and Steve Daily Rush videos. Look for upcoming shows on a comprehensive concert calendar. See when and where we'll be out and about. Pick up some MMR gear and like all...

a whole lot more? Well, it turns out there's a website that does all that. WMMR.com. And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. Wow. What a time to be alive.

Foggy here in Ballakinwood this morning. I was just noticing that. Assuming it's from, you know, the rain and catching the snow and it melting and the warmer temperature today. It could be that. We often talk about that military base that's conducting those experiments, Preston. Oh, yeah. The mist. The mist. So, yeah. And weather-wise, speaking of that, tomorrow for the parade...

While it will be sunny, it's going to be cold and it's going to be breezy too. That's the thing. I just want to make sure. And listen, it's going to be wonderful. Philly's no stranger to outdoor cold celebrations, Mummer's Day Parade, all these things that happen outside that we do. We're used to it. But with that breeze, just a heads up, you're going to want to make sure gloves, hat, thick

layers and all that stuff tomorrow morning. Cause they're saying 30 mile an hour gusts. That's gold. When you're in the city, when you're in that part of the city, it's a, it's a Canyon. So it's going to accelerate the, you're going to feel cold. So heed Preston's advice, bundle up. You'll have a great time. Yeah. Yeah. Just be ready for that. And another thing I do want to mention, cause I mentioned this yesterday, if you're going to be near the art museum, wear boots, dude, it is, there's a lot of grass around there. Yeah. And, uh,

as wet as it has been with the snow now melting and the rain that came in overnight. When we were there in 2018, I remember walking around with Casey and it was just a mud bath. And I remember seeing a couple times just...

Yes. You know, just like somebody, I'm like, oh, I felt so bad for that person walking around with a wet, muddy sock on one foot and cold. Yeah. So wear your boots. Yes. Get yourself ready for that. The elements aren't as bad if you're prepared for them. Yeah. You know what I mean? Simple as that. Yeah, most definitely. Hey, I got this email. I got to share this. This is great. It says, hi, Preston and Steve family. This is from Lori and Ryder. Yeah.

Their last name is Camerote, I believe. She said, so my son Ryder's nine years old, and he comes from a Preston and Steve loving family. We live in Westchester, but mom grew up in Delco. He had to make a Valentine's box for his third grade Valentine's Day party. Ryder was determined to repurpose his white trash can with the swinging lid once again this year, but could not come up with something different.

And then BirdBot 2.0 was introduced on the radio. He was very curious, and we explained the history and how it will travel to the Super Bowl and make memorable stops along the way. And I showed him a picture of BirdBot 2.0, and he was sold. That was going to be his Valentine's box.

box and he brings it in tomorrow meaning today for his party and he is so excited when did I receive this yeah I got this yesterday so she said thank you all for being awesome and for being a part of our life since the WDRE days with Dan Fine ha ha ha she says so she sent pictures of

of his bird bot. Can we see? Yeah, I'm going to show these to you. And I'm going to show them to our streaming camera as well. It's in black and white, but this is the bird bot that he made. I love it. Out of his trash can. We should bring him on to the R&D team for Valentine's Day.

That's impressive. I thought so, too. Artistically, it's really cool. This kid did a great job. So nice job, Ryder. And thank you, Lori, for letting us know about that. Hope you guys have a great Valentine's Day event at your school. And then Nick sent me this as well.

It says, hey, good morning, Nick. And I first wanted to start out by saying we're huge fans of the show. I was wondering if there's any way you guys could recognize. Here's another championship, by the way. Recognize my cheerleading team, Archbishop Ryan, New Jersey, JV. Or no, NTJV, who just became national champions. And they want to get a shout out on the show. Absolutely.

So the whole NTJB thing, it stands for, she said they won the Junior Varsity Non-Tumbling Division down at the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida this past weekend. And by the way, I saw our buddy hosting that. Oh, my God.

Richard Curtis. Oh, yes. The Classroom. Posted a video of him hosting that. Oh, wow. They said these girls have had a golden season all year and they are ending it with actual gold medals and white satin jackets. They showed that hard work and determination will lead to success. This is the first time in Archbishop Ryan's school history that a team has won and become a national champion.

The team is made up of 14 amazing athletes, and she mentions them here, so I'm going to read out the names, and I apologize if I mess these up. Natalie, Basia, Samantha, Izzy, Megan, Reese, Emily, Carly, Grace, Lily, Jalen, Melody, and Jessica, and two dedicated coaches, Alyssa Hoover and Katie Kelly. Mikey, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robbie, Johnny, and Brian. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

One more time, please. Mikey, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robbie, Johnny, and Brian. And Will. Willie. Willie. Casey, that was brilliant.

She said, we're so excited for the girls. Thank you in advance. And that is from Katie Kelly. So a shout out, if you would, please, for the gang. Congratulations on being another national champion. We just can't stop winning, can we? We can't stop winning these national championships. All I do is win, win, win, no matter what, what, what. What was that? That's a song. I don't know. All right.

I don't know that. All right. Speaking of national championship and the Eagles and all things Super Bowl, like I said, we're broadcasting from the Cambria Hotel. Which looks frigging phenomenal. On Broad Street. Tomorrow morning, Marissa went there and scouted it for us because none of us have been inside. We got word from our team at MMR Promotion Staff, which is incredible.

Eric Simon. Yeah. And he said this location's great, but we like to see things. And Marissa went down there and took a video of the Cambria and the inside area where we will be and the balcony at which we will have access to. It looks fantastic. And I'm so looking forward to this thing. Well, even besides a Super Bowl victory parade...

just the way the hotel is laid out and that balcony along that area there is wonderful, man. It's like a hidden gem. And by the way, I don't want to...

I don't want to tip our hand, but there's something super cool that could be happening with BirdBot that we're very excited about. BirdBot will be there. It will be on the parade grounds no matter what, but there's something super special it might have. And we fear talking about it could F it up. Yeah, we're not going to say anything about it, but BirdBot's going to be represented fully at the parade. Speaking of that, of the Super Bowl and the championship, Casey came across this really cool video montage of

On Instagram, right? Yeah, and I think actually the Eagles might have released it. Oh, they put it together? Yeah, they might have. I think it was NFL case. NFL, that's okay. And what does that stand for again? The National Football League. Yeah, it was the Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL maybe. But easily, I think, listen, it was a great game. It was a bloodbath. But easily, I think the most exciting play of the game.

was the Cooper DeGene interception return for a touchdown. I think easily. The Devontae Smith touchdown was really great, but that one was just electric from the moment the ball left Mahomes' hands all the way to the point where DeGene... And the way he worked it, the way he grabbed it. Yep, yeah, yeah. So with that, obviously the game is carried around the world, and there are international play-by-play and color commentators.

And so we obviously had Oscar Buttigieg on leading up to the Super Bowl, and he does an amazing job in Spanish language, recounting what's going on in the field and adds his own flavor to it. And these announcers from around the world just have their own style. Yeah. Each country. I think there's sort of an inherent way that they're accustomed to delivering this kind of...

sports thing. And, and it's, uh, and, uh, every, I don't know anybody who doesn't smile the second they hear it. Yeah. And listen, we've had Joe Buck on the show, uh, and I've come around on him. And what I appreciate, what I appreciate about Joe Buck is that as the, the commentator, he,

I don't think he does too much, right? Especially during an exciting play. He lets, you know, the play stand out, you know, for itself, you know, because you're viewing it, right? You're watching it so you can watch everything unfold. It's different for like radio broadcast. Right, correct. But for television broadcast, but there is an excitement to, you know,

how you're portraying this. And so Kevin Burkhardt is the one who called it, you know, that's what we all watched on Fox. Right, yeah. And so if you want to get an idea, this is what, you know, we heard as we were watching the game. Looking, firing, intercepted! Picked off by Cooper Dejean! Gets the block! Dejean is in! Touchdown! Touchdown!

All right, well, let's go around the world. All right. And let's see how that exact same play was called in a variety of... Not just languages, but other countries as well, because there are English-speaking plays, English-speaking calls that we're going to play as well. So which one are we going to go with first? This was the first one I saw last night, and this is France. And as I'm watching it, I was just kind of giggling. I was like, this doesn't even sound like a language. It just sounds like people...

Just making sounds. You think they've been pretending all along? Yeah. This is what it sounded like in France. OK. Philadelphia. That was pretty exciting. I like the guy going...

That's what I'm saying. I'm like, are those actual words? He was actually literally having a heart attack. Let me hear that part again. What's he saying, Nick? Any idea? Interception. It was third down. Interception. Yeah, okay. All right.

Anything there? He's saying Dijon, which is funny because... Mustard? I'm sorry? Dijon? Mustard? No, D-E-G-E-A-N. Cooper Dejean. Cooper's last name. And then the other announcer says, with the American accent, says Dejean at the end of it. Okay. Dejean. What?

It is funny how in French, Philadelphia, it becomes Philadelphia in French. All they have to do is put an A on, but they decide, nah, we're going to go with an E at the end of it. So the question to that, that was aired. That's what French...

and obviously games carried around the world. And it speaks to the conversation we've been having a number of times recently about how popular American football is becoming around the world. Around the world. I mean, listen, we played in Brazil for the first time this year. Uh,

They are, you know, they're really making inroads and big strides in Germany. They announced that the Eagles and Rams are going to be playing in Australia in 2026. There's a Berlin game next year, too. Berlin, yeah. They play to Munich. Let's go live to the reaction that they're going to be. It's okay. You can come back.

Maybe sit down and drink a little water. Okay. You want to go to South Carolina? Hang on a second. Mario wants to comment. Mario, good morning to you.

Mario. Why? What's up, bud? I'm not even lying to you. When I first heard that clip, that dude in the background sounds like Nick. Very close to when the Phillies won the World Series. You're saying he sounded like you. They did it!

I love it. Thanks, Mario. I was beating that in French. Appreciate it, bud. Love you. All right. Let's go somewhere else. Another country. Casey, where are we going? We're going to South Korea. South Korea. Same play. Here we go. Oh, my God.

A little bit of harmonizing. Yeah, you know what we don't get enough of? Is our guys yelling together. This is something that we're hearing. We've also heard that with Oscar Buttigieg, too, and his sidekick. Ricky Ricardo. That they are yelling together at the same time. So let's try. Generally in America, it's just one guy gets the mic. We'll yell inhalation and let's harmonize. Okay. And you count us down, Case. All right. Three, two, one. Three, two, one. Oh!

I...

I got a little lightheaded there, guys. Are you having an ocular migraine as well? I'm wearing sunglasses. These are prescription sunglasses, so that's why I'm wearing them, but they're also polarized, so Preston, I can't see these screens at all. It's all just dark. Can I wear your glasses? I want to see this too. I'm sorry. I got to take my glasses off. Oh my God, it's black.

There's nothing. Casey needs to see our monitors in order to operate all this stuff. All right. Well, anyhow, that was South Korea. Not as fun as the French, but still. I like the two people yelling at the same time. The harmonizing is cool. Yeah. So we're going to rank these. France is out ahead right now. You're in first place. Let's go to Brazil. Yeah.

Yes, which we know. They're big fans, especially of the Eagles down there. Same play, the Cooper Dijon interception. Here we go. Interception. Wait a minute. He's got a revert button. He has a revert button like...

He's got what you have, Steve. Yeah. I just did it. Yeah. I'm going to back it up even more. Hang on. Right here. That's like Matt at the Sixers game. He's got a delay button. He went to the Matt Cord School of Sports Broadcasting. Oh, that's funny. Wow. I like that one a lot. Now, he's by himself, but he also sounds...

Like he's in a small enclosure. Yeah, like he's in a bathroom stall. Yeah, like a walk-in closet. Like you walk in to wash your hands and there's a cord going into the... Yeah. He's just watching it on his phone. He's doing... Let's do it. Go to the police. Yeah, sounds like he's in a room. Yeah.

I love that. I don't know if I can rank that above or in a tie with the French. I'm putting that neck and neck with France. By the way, South Korea not...

I mean, the harmonizing gets them points as well. Yeah, yeah. Now we got to go to Germany. All right, let's go to Germany. This is just going to sound angry. All right. Patrick Mons, hold the O-line now. He rolls out right. Oh! That's the kid. Two bucks.

Touchdown! Pellegrin! Wow! Wow! Oh, they say wow in German. I didn't know that. They say wow in French, too. Oh, really? Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

That one's good. It didn't sound angry. That almost sounded the most American. That's good. Hitler used to do color commentary for T-Ball games. No. T-Ball? That's kind of... Little Billy! He's a whore! Little Billy. He should have a reverb button, too. Little Frankie steps up to the stand. Whore! Whore!

I think you're going to like this one. This is Japan. Japan, by its very nature, Japanese, especially in old Akira Kurosawa films and samurai films, very expressive. I love this one. It can sound aggressive. Aggressive. You know what? I think I like China as well, and we're going to get to that. The wrestler or the... Yeah, no, no. The female wrestler? Yeah, God wrestler. Okay. All right, this is in Japan. Here we go. I love China. I love China.

What is that sound? It popped up both in the German broadcast and in this Japanese broadcast. When they're going to do a graphic. Oh, is that what that is? Do the replay. That's how they pass gas. Yeah, they throw a little effect on it for when they do a transition. Yeah, I think that guy had a better seat than the guy who was in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah.

All right, that one was pretty good. This one right here, this is going to be in English. I think this guy does a really, really great job of painting the picture. Is this British English or Australian English? This is United Kingdom. Okay. All right, here we go. Wow.

And the rookie has picked up the superstar. Nice. Yeah, great description. We tend to think, you know, it would be something more akin to... And, of course, it's just an interception. Run for the end zone, and, of course, he gets the touchdown. It reminds me of, Steve, this... I'm going to go way, way, way, way back. This is... We were at Y100, and we were at...

What's the old fort right by the airport? Mifflin? We were at Fort Mifflin. And we were amazed because the flight pattern brought the planes in really low. It feels like you can reach up and touch them. It does. When you're over there when the planes are landing. And we made up a fake sport...

Because Casey was wondering if he could throw a rock and hit one of the planes. And we made up a fake sport where if you could throw a rock into one of the jet intakes and cause the plane to crash, then you get points for that. That was points, yeah. And so Steve started to do a British commentary as if we were at the Olympic Games.

And do you remember that at all? I vaguely. You're like, uh, and now there's burning bodies all over the tarmac. Congratulations, Germany. Well done, Kittler. And now the Swedish team steps forward. He's got a cannon for an arm. He's going to bring down this jumbo jet, I'm certain. Yeah. Um, yeah, um, but, um. It reminded me of that. It's funny. I was just telling, um, uh,

Nick, that I hopped on a VPN, you know, where you can jump in and I logged on to Netflix from England. So I was basically seeing British Netflix. Oh, get out. And so and then they had commercials. So at the top where we have American football, they have soccer, obviously. But they were showing clips and their soccer, their guys are...

ten times as kinetic as we hear them here. I mean, like, off the charts. Hey, can you play the German one again real quick? Yeah. Because some listeners are saying that he actually wishes Cooper G and Abby birthday. Did he say that there? It's the birthday boy? Happy birthday to you!

I like that. I'm going to wish everybody a happy Geburtstag. It's not my birthday, you jerk-off. I just got to remember how to say that. Geburtstag. Birkenstock. Ah, Geburkenstock. What?

What? You're a moron. All right, we're going to continue our travels around the world. This is the Cupertugine... I got to go get my passport. ...interception, and now we're going to Hungary. Hungary. I don't know what to expect from Hungary. Here we go. Let's find out together. Hungary.

That was the most metered. By the way, I keep thinking about Oscar Brutigine. Was it Bryce Harper? It was his birthday and he hit a home run. Whose birthday was it? They started singing Happy Birthday to him. That one was just one of my all-time favorites.

I'll have to look that up. I'm looking it up now. Hang on. Oscar, Bryce Harper. Yep, here it is. Oh, yeah, let's play. Hang on, hang on. Happy birthday. Let me rewind it. Just the birthday mention there made me think of that. Here we go. Manuel Plumpanera, Juan Manuel Harper. La moda se va. Se va.

Campanella! El segundo piso de Javier Carabino! ¡Qué clase de tabla! Los Phillies le mandan un mensaje a los Cleveland Bucks! ¡Pon este juego 2-0! ¡Y el cumpleañero se va para la calle!

Happy birthday, Mr. Vegas. Bryce Harper. This is one of those, without a doubt, moonshots, as they say in English, for the deep right field. Happy birthday, Feli. We wish you a happy birthday, Feli.

Happy birthday! I love that. What's up, that game? Oh, yeah. Game one against the Diamondbacks. That's awesome. So, we were

We were in Hungary last. And we found them to be the most metered. So at this point in the trip around the world, who do you have in first? Right now, I think for me, it's France in first. And then I think Brazil gets a close, close second. But don't sleep on this next country. Okay. All right. So we'll go to Spain. Let's try this one out. Here we go. Mahomes. He has to find something. Something of magic. He's on the right. He's looking for the pass. Planeiro. To the 10. Down. Touchdown.

Happy birthday, Cooper! Player! From Philadelphia, you follow him. What a way, eh? 22 years old. Boy! What a wonderful start, returning him to the touchdown.

La re perrubinidad. Yeah, he said happy birthday to Cooper as well. Cumpleanos. Spanish just lends itself. There are so many words that are spoken rapidly. It sounds, there's a velocity to it. There is, there is. As opposed to France, which is kind of mushy. You know what I mean? Unless you're going...

The syllables are just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, like machine gun. And I love that cadence. I think it's awesome. Especially for sports. All right, so leading so far, Marisa's keeping score, or Sam is on our monitor here. We have France in first place.

I don't know. I like that Spanish call. I know. An awful lot. But Casey, where would you put the United Kingdom with France? It was good, too. You loved that one. Yeah, I did. Okay, so I'm throwing UK. Before we played the Spanish one, I would put UK in third behind Brazil.

But I'm throwing Spain in second place. In second place. Then where does Brazil go? Brazil goes now to third. We'll move to third. Okay. That's my personal vote. This is Casey's picks. All right. Next, another English-speaking call. This is Australia. Okay. Let's see how they do. Here we go. Nope. Hang on. Oh, it's quiet. There's a little delay there. Here we go. Rows out to the right. Looks downfield. Interception. He is rattled. And it's on.

Eagles looking for the pick six. They're in. Cooper Dijon. It's a moment. It's a moment for Fung Tree. That guy's Australian, by the way. The growling guy. If you've never seen him, he's Australian. I think you're going to like this one. This is China. China in American football. Interesting. Here we go. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China. China.

Happy birthday, Cooper DeGene!

Did you say something about Jason Momoa? I thought I heard Godzilla in there. Godzilla is Japanese. I know. That's weird. In the beginning? Right in the middle. I'm pretty sure I heard... Three, two, one, go. He's out of his pocket. He's been knocked out. He's been knocked out. He's still in the middle. He's still in the middle. He's still in the middle. He's going to win.

Godzilla. Godzilla. Hang on. I don't know if it's Godzilla. Probably not. But that's what I hear. K-Zone's a little underwhelmed by that one. Yeah, you know what? It's better with the video. By the way, it might be their mic technique, but it sounds like they're blowing out the... There's some over-modulation there. All right, here's our next one. This is from Meiko. Let's see how they did. Meiko.

Celebrating his birthday in Nevada.

I would say that España was much more energetic. Spain? Yeah, yeah, I agree. All right, we have two more to go. All right. Or no, one more. We already did the American, right? Yeah, I don't know if that's the Kevin Burkhardt or not. It is? Okay, yeah, so we started with America. America first. And then here's the last one that we have. This is in Canada, they're making the play-by-play. Here we go. Mahomes, Lance LeBanon, he's intercepted.

Their French sounds definitely less

what's the word I'm looking for? It sounds much more American. Yeah. French-Canadian does not have, does not sound very French. It sounds like an English-speaking person speaking French. Yeah. It's less lyrical. I never knew that. Last night, I was watching the game from Montreal, the hockey game, the international four-game

Four team tournament and they sang the national anthem in both French Canadian and in English. And the woman who was singing it is it was an English speaking Canadian person. And when she sings it in French, it does not really sound lyrically French. It sounds like an English person speaking French.

Interesting. Well, there you go. All right. Those are cool, Casey. Thanks for sharing that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to hear the French one again? Yeah. Yeah. Because that's, I think, number one, right? And there's all sorts of... There's screaming and... Sounds that aren't even a language. Although, I do like the reverb on the one guy. Where was he? In the bathroom? I want to hear that one again, too. Nick, what were you going to say? Do we have Oscar's call? Because Oscar was the Spanish language just for the Eagles. Like, it's not a Mexican call or anything like that. I don't know. Okay.

I don't know. So here is, yeah, this is the French one, and then I want to hear the Brazilian one. It's the dude in the back. The dude, that's the guy. And then we want to hear the other guy in French saying, would you shut up? I'm trying to call a game here. Interception! Interception! Interception!

I love it. Woo!

The color commentator guy, it sounds like he's an Eagles fan. Yeah. He seems fired up that the Eagles, and I think all of the international calls are better than the American call. Do me a favor and stop screaming in my ear. I'll bring up the Brazilian one more time, the guy with the reverb unit in the bathroom here. Yeah.

I love that. That might be my favorite. I'm not sure. But nonetheless, some great calls all the way around. That's really cool. Nice. All right. Well, listen, we do have to take a break. A reminder. Yeah, we're on the parade route tomorrow. We're going to be at the Cambria Hotel broadcasting live. So if you know where that is, it's between it's between Locust and Walnut on Broad. Wave to us. Say hi. We're going to be in the balcony.

Just above everybody. We should be easily seeable. Last time we did it, we were up how many floors? Twelve? Oh my God, yeah. So we're right there. I would imagine it's going to be a packed balcony. We're going to be there. Our sister station is going to be there. The Fanatic, but also people who stay in the hotel. But we hope to see you at some point tomorrow. All right, we're going to take a quick break. Come back in a second and we will tiptoe through the bizarre files together. Stay with us.

This Friday, 93.3 WMMR brings you live coverage from the Eagles Championship Parade. Preston and Steve and Pierre will be doing their shows downtown from our official broadcast partner location, the Cambria Hotel Philadelphia. 219 South Broad Street. Fly, Eagles, fly. 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks.

Before we get into the bizarre file, two quick shout outs. I got this one from Karen Woodhull and she says, hey Preston, want to give

My husband, Blake Woodhull, is shart out on his 59th birthday. Longtime listener, even introduced me to your show many, many years ago. His birthday is February 12th, but any day that week or next will be appreciated. He had given blood. The blood dries. We donate and come to the Camp Out for Hunger. We've attended the Christmas Miracle and even saw you at Pickle Delphia at Xfinity this year. She said he won the tickets from MMR. Please celebrate the last year of his 50s.

with a juicy shout-out. So here you go. Happy birthday to you, bud. And then, finally, it says, hey, can you... And I'm a day late on this. This is from our friend Julie Jerkoff from our YouTube community. And she says, can you please give a birthday shout-out on Wednesday the 12th to our YouTube buddy, DeadR2D2, a.k.a. Rob. And she says,

And she says, hope you have a fabulous day, R2. I'm so grateful to call you, my friend. Love you. Julie Jerkoff. I love that. I love that whole community. Yeah, and I have a birthday shout out, and I'm three days late with this, so I apologize because this is for my future goddaughter. Her name is Lauren, and she celebrated her 10th birthday on Monday. Lauren, my future goddaughter, happy belated birthday.

Your future goddaughter? Okay. So I was at an event at, I believe, Rita's Water Ice, and Lauren and her mom, Stephanie, stopped by to say hello, and she asked me that when her godfather passes away, if I will be her godfather. Oh. Yeah. Okay. And I said yes. And he's not looking too good right now, so the odds are pretty solid. Well, he's a little bit older, so, yeah. Yeah. You'll let it happen naturally. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let us share some Bizarre File stories. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Files.

I will start with this. When her ex threatened to call police during an argument, a woman pulled out a dildo and began striking the man with it, according to Florida police who arrested the alleged sex toy attacker for domestic battery. Now, we have some dildos that could cause damage. Absolutely. Yeah. Yep. Cops were dispatched Sunday to a Fort Pierce residence in reference to a...

Disturbance in progress involving a 15-year-old man and a woman named Julissa Negron. Put the dildo down. The victim told police that Negron was briefly staying with him while she gathered clothing before relocating from Puerto Rico to Connecticut to start her life over.

While Negron was well behaved, the day earlier, the victim told police she was drinking alcohol, resulting in her acting disorderly and started arguments about who he follows on Instagram. That's always the culprit. And at one point, Negron allegedly began to get in the victim's face, which he believes was to antagonize him. When the man warned that he would call 911, she pulled out a dildo and began to hit him with it.

The dildo or its prior location is not further described in the arrest report, which does not indicate whether police confiscated the alleged weapon. When cops arrived at the man's home, he warned that Negron was inside naked and would quote, quote, flash officers. The man also explained a history of Negron's abusiveness prior to her leaving for Puerto Rico to the point where he needed to leave his own home.

Negron was reportedly agitated, disorderly and smelled of alcohol when police arrived. She was arrested at the scene and subsequently booked into the county jail on a misdemeanor battery count. A Sydney, Australia restaurant owner who sells gag fortune cookies has been told to censor her products after an awkward factory mix-up. Najee Choo, the owner of a popular Vietnamese restaurant called Lady Choo,

put through an order of profanity-laced fortune cookies for Valentine's Day. She was shocked and slightly tickled to receive a response from her manufacturer who said that they were no longer accepting offensive language after her messages were mistakenly mixed into other customers' orders. And

And she had said, listen, it was for my customers within the context of me and my brand. If you're getting it mixed up with other restaurants, that's not my fault. She's right. In an email, the manufacturer said their other customers were quite upset to find shoes messages inside their custom cookies at the end of last year. As a result, management have decided to no longer accept customized orders with the

Yeah, they are the ones that screwed the things up.

Some of the fortune messages included, like this first one said, the year of the snake bears good fortune. Your divorce is coming soon. Or my favorite one, which is, I only married you for your money, you ugly C word. Oh, my God. That's a good one. I kind of like that one. Yeah, yeah. Chew said her Valentine's Day order was not fulfilled and she's been stuck inserting the messages into the cookies herself.

for February 14th. We bought one time, it was for Parker's 21st birthday, we bought fortune cookies that had obscene messages in them. And dude, they were like that. Like the C word one. Where'd you get them? Rochelle found them online. And they were hilarious. We were cracking them open on the way to dinner and just laughing our asses off. I mean, they were insanely profane. It's a great idea. I love the taste of fortune cookies. I like some of them.

Some of them are bitter, but the ones from P.F. Chang, spot on. And I love them with Chinese tea. I don't like... Well, listen, I think the flavor's fine. I just hate the texture. I think they're too crunchy. Crispy? Too crunchy, okay. Yeah.

South Holland police are investigating a strange case of cats that are returning home with shaved patches. A number of owners have reported their pets return home with missing fur, although otherwise unhurt. Inspector Matt Dickinson said this behavior is completely unacceptable. Whatever the motivation behind this is, it's not something that should be taking place. Dickinson, we're putting you on the shaved pussies. Yes, that's right.

There is no clue as to the reason behind the incident. He said, Inspector Dickinson said, anyone who is evidence to be responsible for doing this will have a robust action taken against them and where necessary be prosecuted for any criminal offenses identified. South Highland Police shared information on the Facebook page where comments suggested that there had been previous episodes of this happening, by the way.

A United Airlines red-eye flight bound for Chicago diverted to Denver after a burly man repeatedly sprang up from his seat, walked to the front of the aircraft, and argued with the crew members, eventually demanding that the Mormon passengers on board be identified. Ha!

He's had enough. United Airlines flight 1484 took off from San Francisco for Chicago, but shortly into the flight, a man began acting strangely. He got up frequently, walked into the front of the aircraft, he got in the face of the flight attendants, they argued, he raised his voice, and he also demanded to know where the Mormons were on board. You're in that helicopter, and you're nothing but a chameleon, lemon-headed, coward, terrorist...

And I'm after you, buddy. Another passenger said at some point it escalated into a big physical altercation and several passengers had to rush out of their seats to help the crew pin down this person and get him restrained. All right, all right, the Jesuits. He is still on the floor being pinned down by four people. Captain just announced that we are diverting to Denver. It's not clear, by the way, whether the passenger was a Mormon himself. Many members of the church, colloquially referred to as Mormons, do not drink alcohol.

And he said, this commenter said, I must admit that this passenger appeared sloshed. Unfortunately, the delay became a real inconvenience. The flight landed in Denver after just 2 a.m. and sat on the ground until after 7 a.m. Such a unique experience. You don't know what you're going to get from the sea of humanity. What's going to be trapped in a tube with you as you're hurtling through the sky. I tell you, every time I get on a plane now, I'm like, okay, whatever.

Am I going to see one of these? Does this guy like Mormons or not? All right. And then finally, a woman who allegedly squashed a sweet bun at a convenience store in Japan says she was just trying to check its firmness. She was arrested on suspicion of destruction of property.

The truth is I just wanted to squash it. The incident occurred at a convenience store in the southwestern Japan city of Sawara Ward. The wrapping of the bun wasn't torn, but because the squash bread didn't return to its original shape and couldn't be sold...

Police had judged that the 40-year-old woman's actions constituted destruction of property before arresting her on the spot. Preston, I can speak to this because when I was four years old, I got in trouble at the King Cullen supermarket for crushing hamburger rolls. Yeah. It happens, man. I was going down a wrong path. So the woman, a self-proclaimed underdog.

Unemployed resident is specifically accused of squashing one sweet bun with a retail price of $1.19. The woman has reportedly denied the allegation, saying, I only pressed it lightly in my hand to check the firmness of the bread. But police said products had been squashed at the convenience store several times in the past. And the 39-year-old owner had been on the lookout for any similar cases. The woman is said to have picked up a package of four buns and squashed one of them with her right thumb. The owner checked the bread...

and then restrain the woman when she left the store without buying the damaged product. Give me a few minutes. I'm going to sweat this bitch. And that is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. We are going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a moment. We do have one guest on the show later on with a very, very interesting side hustle. So we'll talk to them in a little bit. We'll get into some other things. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

All right, thank you very much, Nick. Real quick, just a reminder, Cardboard Classic is approaching. Oh, boy. Quickly, Friday, February 28th. Is that a week from this Friday? No, it's two weeks. Two weeks from tomorrow. From tomorrow. Man, oh, man, oh, man. Montage Mountain is where we'll be again. And once again, I want to remind you of a new addition to the prizes. We now have $1,000 for the best Tito's Handmade Vodka Sled.

So that's one of our big cash prizes for this thing. I mean, the event is about just being there and experiencing it. But we want to make sure that we have a little bit of motivation for people to put on some really cool, interesting sleds. We've already seen some advanced stuff coming through. And the creativity and the craftsmanship, of course, is represented once again. So we're excited for this event. And you can be there.

for the whole thing. There's Mountain Fest as well that's going to be taking place right after we're done. They're going to go right into the party. From what I understand, it's the world's largest 80s party featuring a group called the M80s, which is a tribute to MTV. And so as soon as we finish, there's a stage right next to where the sleds sometimes crash into the building. Yes, they do.

And then the stage is right there and they're supposed to take over. So it's going to be, it's going to segue right into party time. And they have, dude, they have so much food. Do you remember the...

The gigantic gyros that we saw people walking around with. I mean, they were huge. Biggest I've ever seen. Everything. Everything there is done. If you've not been to Montero. I got lobster rolls. Everything. Sensational. Yeah. Yeah. And so we'd like you to be there. And then, of course, the next day, Mountain Fest continues. Tonic and Bennett and Ezra are playing. They have pond skimming and fireworks. Lyft ticket is your concert ticket for that. So you can get those VIP tickets. They are on sale now. WMMR.com slash Cardboard Classic.

And it's not too late to get a sled together. If you want to do a tribute to the Eagles and Super Bowl, get on it. You might move now. You could quite possibly be the crowd favorite. You know, it could be. So we'll see what that ends up being like, as we will obviously broadcast live from that. And Pierre will be there, too. And I think is is Jackie's been a no. Who's a Brent Porsche? Yeah.

We'll probably be spinning music. So it's going to be a damn good time. Just a reminder that that is indeed happening. All right. We have not had a chance to expand our minds yet this week. So let's go to the Just Saying Institute and dive in, if you will. The Just Saying Institute, home of the Preston Elliott Museum of Useless Dick Tracy Collectibles. Meaning.

Listen, we need a whole museum for that. Yes. So I'd had this story for a couple of weeks. And each time we've gone to the Just Dance Institute, there are other stories have eked it out. And I wanted to make sure I mentioned this because scientists have discovered a never before seen giant sea bug after studying samples purchased from fishers in Vietnam. I saw the picture of this thing.

Are you sure? When did you see it? About a week ago. Okay, all right, then that's it, because there's a new thing that popped up today that I didn't include in the JSI. Oh, really? It keeps getting worse. But the Bethinomus videri.

belongs to the genus Bethynomus, which is a giant isopods that are abundant in cold, deep waters. It is a super giant, weighing 2.2 pounds and growing up to 12.8 inches long, making it one of the largest known isopods. So to me, this thing is scary looking. Well, it looks like when they do those super...

microscopic shots of things that live in lint and they look terrifying. This is a thousand times bigger. This is 28 inches long. No, I'm sorry, 12.8 inches long. It's over a foot long and it's got the exoskeleton type thing like you would find on a lobster. It looks like there's flying things in the Avengers movie that comes out of the little wormhole.

Oh, right. The things that they're flying on. The Echiria or whatever? Yes. Yeah, yeah. So the species is named Videri because its head resembles Darth Vader's helmet. Okay. So Videri. It sort of does, yeah. So Vader, Videri. B. Videri has so far only been found near the Spratly Islands.

which is an archipelago in the South China Sea, but it may also live in other parts of the South China Sea. For the new study, the team examined samples caught by local fisheries and found that a few specimens had distinctive physical features that marked them as a newfound species. So this is a brand new discovered species. Listen, we talk about the...

The vast amounts of our own planet, the ocean and the depths of the ocean that have not been explored. What is down there? And what looks worse than this thing? By the way, the researchers noted that B. vidari species have recently become a delicacy in Vietnam, often compared to lobster. Of course, yes. Let's eat it. Yeah.

Here's a weird thing we pulled out of the ocean. Let's eat it. Look what I found. I'm going to eat it. You only found one. Let's eat it. Yeah, eat it. The local demand has turned these sea bugs into an expensive staple on the live seafood market.

leading to increased fishing pressures. Oh, my God. Now you're going to see a picture in a human hand, Nick. How about that mother effer? Yep. It's like the size of a small dog. And now looking at it. And now it's obedient. And looking at it from the front, it does look like Darth Vader in the head.

By the way, Steve, the other thing that I saw this morning is video of a type of anglerfish. You know what those look like, right? Yes. The really deep sea thing with a giant mouth with the really spiky teeth and the...

thing coming out of its head. Right. Well, they found one of those. Now, you can't tell by the video the size of it because those things are usually smaller. And didn't they find it at an uncommon depth? Well, that's the thing. It's very close to the surface. Those are normally really, really deep sea creatures. But that thing, Casey. I saw it. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. Yeah. Yep.

Here, we're looking at video of this. Yeah, that thing looks terrifying. Now, it might be really small. It's hard to say because I think those things aren't very big in the first place. Do you know, oddly enough, though, these fish always take first place in gurning contests. So, it looks like just ahead with a little bitty...

Tiny tail coming out of its back. Those things are just nightmare fuel. But the rows are their irregular teeth all sticking up. And, of course, that thing on their head is an actual lure. Yeah. That's why they call it the anglerfish. And I think this is like a version or one of them. I'm sure there's a different sub-version.

Species of anglerfish. I don't really know. Does it ever close its mouth? Because we're... I don't think so. I don't think so. All right. So I thought that was an interesting discovery. Here's another one. Experts have sounded the alarm about the weight loss drugs like Ozempic leaving users blind now. Great.

Several studies have linked the shots to conditions that cause inflammation and blood flow to the eye, causing severe and sometimes permanent vision loss. Now, I feel great and I'm walking into walls. But it's a very small amount of people this has happened to. Researchers have detailed nine new reports of U.S. patients who went blind after taking semaglutide or tirzepatide.

which are the active ingredients in Ozempic, Manjaro, respectively. One woman injected one dose of semi-glutide for her diabetes and woke up the next morning blind in her left eye. And this prompted her to stop the medication for two months. How do I look? Before her diabetes forced her to go back on it. And two weeks after that...

She lost vision in her right eye as well. She had restarted the medication. Another woman who had been taking semaglutide for a year woke up one morning with a painless shadow over her left eye. Testing revealed blood vessels in her retina had become damaged, leading to blindness.

And one suffered bleeding in his left eye after taking terzepatide for a year. However, doctors told him to keep taking the drug due to lack of evidence, linking his condition to weight loss shots. The experts said that while the exact cause is unclear, drugs like Ozempic rapidly lowering blood sugar levels could damage blood vessels in the eyes, leading to vision loss. So there's a percentage of side effects cases like this that are supposed to.

cause sort of a spontaneous recall or reassessment of the drug. So I don't know how many people are currently using, it seems like there's a lot of people using Monjuro and Ozempic. So this has got to be, as you said, a small percentage. Yeah, and listen, a huge variety of drugs that you take have rare but possible side effects. There are people that die every year from taking over-the-counter aspirin. Mm-hmm.

It happens. It can happen. There are risks, but you have to weigh the risks of the potential benefit. I saw an ad last night for some drug. I have no idea what it was or even what it was advertising, but it was, if you're suffering side effects from this drug, take this drug instead. It was like, you're already taking one thing and you're having some side effects. Here's another thing for you to take. And then you get the list of warnings. It's a page and a half long. And the warning was like, if it doesn't take effect within the first two weeks,

Then you know that it's not working. I was like, you've got to wait two weeks to find out if the side effects are going to show up or not. All right, well, let's go to an expert. He's calling in. He's asked us to tap him in. Tap him in. Box 29 and Penn Medicine, we give you the amazing Dr. Mike Sirigli. I don't know.

Hey, Dr. Mike. What a great time to be in the city, huh? Yeah, buddy. You're right there. Now, look, so you're talking about a very rare condition, all right, that occurs. This study looked at nine patients. Now, if you remember...

two to three percent of the u_s_ population is now taking one of these medications while there would be a was that pic or uh... uh... set down their web would go via rm on jr uh... and and so uh... yes with any medication if it is if you have millions of people taking it

You're going to have some side effects. Now, this is not the only drug that can be associated with one of the conditions. It's actually a little like stroke of the optic nerve. That's what it is. And it can lead to permanent blindness in one eye usually. But the thing is you can even get this with Viagra. All right? So there are case reports of that. Is that technically being cockeyed?

Yes, exactly. So the bottom line is that, look, you have to, as Preston, you said so beautifully. Everything is a risk-benefit ratio, and the benefits from these medications are,

are so amazing in terms of lengthening life, reducing risk of heart attack, stroke. Now, there was just a study that came out about reduction in alcohol intake. And they're going to do studies on smoking cessation, helping people stop smoking, and other addictive substances. So it is a rare condition. Bottom line, if you are going to use these medications,

You have to start in low doses and very slowly work your way up. And number two, if you have any vision changes, you need to let somebody know right away. And then the highest risk people are people over 50, people who have diabetes, people who have high blood pressure. And as you said, Preston, it's probably due to a rapid shift in the amount of glucose that

And you have some damage to the vessel. But it's very rare, and I think that the benefits in most people are far greater than the risk. So all of these are basically off the original label intent of these drugs, right? As with Viagra, the main purpose it was created for was not –

erectile dysfunction, but it became that. So that's why you had this massive shift towards these drugs now, and that's why diabetics were having trouble getting a hold of them, correct? Well, in the beginning, but the supply chain issues have gone away. It's mainly, at least in my experience, an insurance issue now. Trying to get certain people on these medications that are clearly indicated...

It can be a big challenge. And Nick, listen, to your point, I think the commercial you're talking about is a drug for tardive dyskinesia. Yes, yes. What is that? Yeah, that's a condition you can get from some antidepressants, some other types of medications, and it is a real deal. And remember, Nick...

The bottom line is you only take a medication if you have to. You don't take it because you think it's just... Fun. You don't do it cavalierly. So some people really, really, really need their medications for either schizophrenia or depression or any of that. And these involuntary movements can be very disconcerting. They can be very...

and they can cause problems because people notice them. And so this medication that's come out, I've never prescribed it. It's really not in my wheelhouse. But that medication is used to quell that side effect. So, look, if you have schizophrenia or you have severe depressive symptoms and you need treatment and you develop that side effect, it might not be unreasonable to...

to try to treat that. But look, sometimes it takes a couple weeks to kick in to see if a drug is actually going to work. Well, I appreciate you clearing that up, and I totally understand where you're coming from. And listen, Mike, I am automatically and often reflexively cynical when it comes to these types of things, and that's on me. So it's good to hear.

Listen, listen, let's be clear, all right? A savvy consumer is my best customer, all right? You know, side sims, remember that? An educated consumer is my best customer. And I want people to always be a very good consumer of health care. You have to know your body. You have to know why somebody's doing something. And my most feared patient is the one that says, oh, Dr. Mike, whatever you say.

Right. Right. You got to take control of your health. You've always said that. You don't have to. And look, if you don't have someone that listens, you need to find someone that does listen. Not a lie. Like you. Like you. Yeah. All right. Thank you so much, Dr. Mike.

Go Eagles! Go Eagles! We love you, bud. Love them. Love all of us. Love all of us, everyone. All right. Thanks, Dr. Mike. All right. Let's move on from that to something else. I saw this study that was done by...

It was published in the open access journal called BMJ Mental Health. Generally, things for most of us actually seem better in the morning with clear differences in self-reported mental health and well-being across the day. So I was...

I guess I had to think about this because I always think of the morning as kind of a lousy time of day because you don't want to get up early. For those of us who have to get up really early, it definitely sucks. I was just thinking about this. The phases I go through – now, I can compartmentalize and I've had things that have been fairly heavy in my life. And, you know, people have had a billion times worse. But how I manage them and how I compartmentalize – so through the morning –

out of the shower getting ready when i'm fully dressed i enter a pretty good period coming in here getting prep getting everything done on time i'm in a pretty good period uh and then again i think i i hit the the zone in the where it's like okay this i'm enjoying this day is around four o'clock okay uh you know through to the evening um so so so you're happy all the time it ebbs and flows yeah the the the

It's very rare that I have a point in the day where I don't feel the hope, the promise, the joy. People generally wake up. You're the anomaly, Steve. People generally wake up feeling the best frame of mind in the morning. Okay. But in the worst, around midnight.

The findings indicate with day of the week and season of the year. Yes, absolutely. So as a musician or whatever, when you were doing your deal, the midnight, 11 o'clock, when I was doing stand-up comedy, those were actually the kind of prime times. Well, yeah, I think that's outside of the normal person's schedule. Yeah, when we were playing shows late at night until 2 o'clock in the morning, yeah, midnight was frigging awesome. You're just starting to get your buzz on. Yeah.

So anyhow, mental health and well-being are dynamic in nature and subject to change over both short and extended periods, according to the researchers. But relatively few studies have looked at how these might change over the course of a single day. And those studies that have...

have included particular or only small groups they added. So the researchers wanted to explore whether time of day was associated with variations in mental health, depressive and or anxiety symptoms.

happiness uh life satisfaction sense of well-being worthwhile stuff like that loneliness they wanted to find out if it if it changes through the day uh and they also wanted to find out if it varied by season and year so they analyzed data from the university college of london covid-19 social study which began in march 2020 and involved regular monitoring up until november 2021 and then additional monitoring in march 2022 just giving you the parameters here

So complete information was available for 49,218 people. So it's a big study. Three quarters of whom were women. People educated to degree level above were also represented, while those from ethnic minority backgrounds were underrepresented at 6%. The sample was therefore weighted to reflect population portions. So a clear pattern of waking up in the morning feeling best and feeling worst around midnight is what they found.

The influence of a day of the week was less clear-cut with more variation in mental health and well-being during weekends than on weekdays. Happiness, life satisfaction, and worthwhile ratings were all higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays. Sunday is not a good day. Sunday is scary. And happiness was also higher on Tuesdays, but there was no evidence that loneliness differed across days of the week.

There was clear evidence of a seasonal influence on mood, however. Compared with winter, people tended to have lower levels of depressive anxiety symptoms and loneliness and higher levels of happiness, life satisfaction, and feeling that life was worthwhile in other seasons. So winter sucks is what it comes down to. Yeah, it's a given, right? Cabin fever, the cabin fever months. Yeah, less sunlight, all that stuff. And mental health was best in summer across all outcomes.

But the season didn't affect the associations observed across the day, however. So it didn't matter what season you were in. That day model of morning being best, night being worst is still there. Yeah, days like today are really difficult. I mean, when it's this foggy and there's no sun, I'll take tomorrow where it's supposed to be sunny. And even if it's colder or windy or whatever, any day of the week, that's better for me. But I'll tell you what, honestly, over the last few years, at this time of year when it's depressing and challenging being out there,

Two things that I love looking forward to. Cardboard Classic, because it's fun and you see so much inventiveness and the listeners' responses are incredible. And then beyond that, spring training. And being able to go to Florida this time of year or having that even on the horizon is such a wonderful thing to look forward to. Learning how to set little things in your calendar that you have to look forward to. And it can be any one of a number of things. I find...

This sort of reinforces what I perceive about how we are throughout the day, Preston. It's kind of a standard thing. Being aware of it helps. It said that, yeah, if you're aware and it's at night and you're beat and you're feeling kind of off, maybe you can make yourself feel better going, okay, this is the time of day to feel this.

But they said that there's associations with body clock. Cortisol peaks shortly after waking and reaches its lowest levels around bedtime. However, it's important to acknowledge the differences between weekends and weekdays, they said. Yeah, it's really, really hard for me to get going on a Saturday or Sunday morning. And I sleep in. I'm usually up by like 8, 9 o'clock on Saturday or Sunday morning. But man, does it take me...

hours to actually get motivated to do anything whether it's you know work around the house or exercise or anything along those lines and that's why i'm so grateful for you know having a job a purpose when i get up during the uh the week i agree now i'm a little bit more i i get up

early, even on the weekends, and I'm up and running. I force myself to do that because if I don't, it's going to be an S-show, as they say. But having the difference I found between, again, working from home when I did that for a while and

Having a destination to get to, having that part of that schedule, getting up, I've got to get up, get dressed, and get out. And having that obligation helps. Do you feel guilty, Casey, if you're inactive on a Saturday or Sunday morning? Yeah. I think you should be less hard on yourself because you work your ass off during the week. You've been really dedicated about going to the gym and improving your health.

And our schedules during the week are challenging. So I think you can give yourself a little bit of a respite on the weekends and take this advice for whatever it's worth. But allow that for yourself. If you do want to change, I don't know if this would help you or not, but this is what I do on the weekends and it's helped me out, is that I get up and I immediately make a list. I write it down. It's actually on a dry... It's called a boogie board. It's a digital thing. It's on the wall and I write...

The list of the things I want to achieve for the day. Okay. And...

The reason I get on them right away is because I want that slate to be clean. That's what I do. And then I want nothing else to do. That's what I do. And then I can therefore enjoy what I do. So I make that list as soon as I get up and I get great satisfaction and walking over and crossing those things off the list. Then I got nothing to do the rest of the day. It's awesome. The rest of the day to spank it. Yeah. To spank it. Oh, yeah. And smoke it. And smoke it. Okay.

Stroke it. So I don't know if you want to try that. That sounds like work. I know, right? All right. Here's another thing. Now, not only do we cover studies at the Just Dance Institute, but inventions as well. British inventor Richard Browning, founder of Gravity Industries. And I have not looked at this yet. I've already been invented. I've only read the study, the story. So he has developed a jet suit that allows someone to fly like Iron Man. The

The suit uses five small jet engines that let the wearer take off and move through the air up to 20 feet off the ground at over 85 miles an hour. So we're not talking about the jets. You see the guy where he's sort of on each side. There are two, they appear to be rockets that he holds down. It'll lift him up and you can move a la Iron Man, but not exactly like Iron Man. We're not talking that. I don't know. You'd have to pull up Gravity Industries. You don't

And see what Richard Browning, if anybody wants to do a quick search and see if there's any pictures or video. But I know the one you're talking about, Steve. This seems different. Yeah, I don't know. The technology is being considered for military use, such as quickly boarding ships or reaching difficult areas.

Browning's company has a deal with two countries to provide these suits to special forces aiming to improve how soldiers move during missions. So I've seen them fly from like a rescue craft onto a ship in motion and the guy takes off on the deck and

And to me, it's like almost like holding yourself up on on a parallel bars like you're if you have any sort of upper body strength and you can do that. And most people can. Any one of these guys are in shape. And then there's that thing also, Preston, which blows my mind is the flying platform. You've seen those. Right. So this is what I'm talking about.

Is this the Richard Browning guy? This is him. Yeah. Okay, so yes, I've seen that. I've seen the things on his hands before. I haven't seen the leg things. No. So he's, yeah, it's the same concept as the Iron Man suit, really. Yeah, basically. It's kind of silly for him to be practicing this over asphalt. Concrete, yeah. Yeah, maybe grass. Yeah, grass. Mattress factory. Yeah, something like that.

Oh, there's marshmallows behind me. Sorry. Yeah. So, all right. So this guy's working on it. And there are a couple of countries that are interested in that. I would want to do that. Kind of cool. All right. Let's go somewhere else. Let's see. All right.

We're going to talk about a mental study that was done. If you hate the way you look on a video conference. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I hate the way I look in real life. And also think those virtual meetings are a bad tool for doing business. You might be surprised to learn that those two opinions could be related. A new study finds an interesting connection between how people feel about their appearance and their experience with video meetings. The research published in the journal PLOS1 shows...

shows that when people don't like how they look on camera, they're more likely to experience what is commonly known as Zoom fatigue. The study, led by Cheyenne Lim at Michigan State University,

surveyed over 2,500 remote workers in the U.S. in fields of science and tech who regularly participate in virtual meetings. Some of the key findings include workers who were unhappy with their facial appearance reported higher levels of virtual meeting fatigue. You know what people don't consider, though, is that if you take a little time to set up your...

That's why they have lighting directors on shows so that people look better, look normal, or look... You have an austere light on your face in a Zoom conference, overhead lights shadowing you. You're going to look like crap. So if you experience...

Spend a little energy to put maybe a key light here or there and your angle. So many people shoot up just from the desk up your nostrils. That doesn't look good. Take a little time. Create and set the shot. You might feel a little bit better about the way you look. People who felt dissatisfied with their appearance were more likely to use features like touch-up tools, video filters, and avatars to manage how they look. It's a Navi.

The researchers note that these findings have significant implications for both workplace productivity and employee well-being. The study shines a light on an important challenge in our post-pandemic world where virtual meetings have become more common. And it suggests that addressing appearance-related concerns might make virtual meetings more effective and

and a little less straining for those who don't like that. It doesn't take a lot to dress it up a little bit. Marissa? Do you guys know there's settings in Zoom that you can make your face look prettier, too? Apply a filter. Look prettier? Yeah, yeah. It's like a soft filter. It'll make you look all pretty. Okay. And they'll even, Marissa, there are real-time filters that will thin your face. Sure. It's like a TikTok filter. Yep, yep, exactly. Real-time. We will go to another story.

NASA is keeping a close eye on an asteroid. It's named 2024 YR4. Is this the Bono one? No, this is a different one. This one's bigger. This space rock is about the size of a building and has a small chance. It says about 1 in 43. Oh, I don't like that. That's not a small chance. It's a big chance. It's bigger than a lot of the ones recently. How many Bonos is this one? Hitting Earth in December 2032.

The chance that it'll hit Earth keeps improving, though, so scientists have been told to use the James Webb Space Telescope to study it in March and May as part of an emergency decision. They want to find out its exact size and path. What is the year of collision, ostensibly? 2032. Not far off. Seven years away. Yeah. So knowing that this will help them figure out if it could be dangerous and what to do about it. Blow it up. Yeah.

what they will do. If an asteroid this size were to hit Earth, it could cause a lot of damage, similar to an event in 1908 that flattened a large area in Siberia by studying 2024 wire. Now scientists hope to be prepared this time around. I don't think that's the same bottom when it might be. You know what we can do? Redirect this one back to Siberia. Yeah, probably. They're used to it. That's a good spot. All right. Uh,

We'll do another one, and then we'll have to wrap up here in just a moment. Can we go back to the asteroid thing? Yeah. I mean...

I know Armageddon is a silly, silly movie, and that asteroid was way bigger than this one. But, like, I mean, we can send a warhead out there to just blow this into the sea of the Reins, right? Well, there are programs that they've been working on, and that's one of the things. There's also the notion that we could attach a solar... Sail. Sail. Okay. And deflect the course of it. So, we...

Deep Impact and Armageddon are... There are things that are mentioned in those movies that are things that they have in the works. And look at the Japanese landed a... Didn't they land a probe on an active flying meteor or asteroid? Right. And were they able to get data back? It's probably more detailed than just...

Chucking something at it. Chucking something at it. Or then just, well, let's shoot a warhead up there. I think what you want are a team of deep sea drillers. Yes. Yeah. That's what you need. That's what you need. Oh, they're all, they're foibles and craziness, but you send them up into space, they'll be able to do it. All right, we're going to do another story here. So what happens to the brain as people transition from alive to dead? As puzzled scientists for centuries until now, a team of neuroscientists have

have captured the first ever brain activity of a dying human brain, which suggests people go experience a life review of sorts. Life reviews have been widely reported on those who have had near-death experiences. They said they saw their entire life history play out in rapid manifestation of autobiographical memory. Many describe this as seeing their life flash before their eyes.

The recording was made when an 87-year-old patient underwent cardiac arrest while being treated for epilepsy and doctors had strapped a device on his head to monitor brain activity, but he died during the process. However, the neuroscientist captured 90 seconds of brain activity around the time of death, allowing them to see what happened in the 30 seconds before and after his heart stopped beating.

So the measurements of brain waves before and after showed areas involved with memories and retrieval were still active. The brain may still be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experience. I can't perceive it as a Ken Burns documentary, which is what I would like. Yeah.

And it was the age of four years old that you got in trouble for crushing a hamburger roll. And then you bought a styrofoam eagle. You went up to your roof and threw it off and it flew away and you wasted all that money. Thanks, Mattel. Important events before we die. So these findings challenge our understanding of when exactly life ends and generate important subsequent questions.

such as those related to the timing of organ donation. Oh. So according to the doctor that had done the study, he said just before and after the heart stopped working, we saw changes in a specific band of neural oscillations, so-called gamma oscillations, but also in others such as delta, theta, alpha, and beta oscillations. Oscillation? Excitation? Brain oscillations. Oscillation? Excitation? Cremation?

Our brain waves are repetitive patterns of electrical impulses normally present in living human brains, and different types of brain waves reflect different brain functions and states of consciousness. Gamma waves are involved in high cognitive functions, such as memory retrieval, which is associated with memory flashbacks. They also can turn you into a green radio. Yes, absolutely. Researchers suggest that the brain could be biologically programmed

To manage the transition into death, potentially orchestrating a series of psychological and neurological events rather than simply shutting off instantly. So it's got like a shutdown procedure if there's time. You know what I mean? It's interesting about the process of dying because I was watching this nurse kind of she was giving a TED talk, a doctor as well, about how your body and how nature prepares you for.

Do not fear death because your body prepares you by the releasing of different chemicals to make you... Like dopamine? Yeah. Isn't like a DMT one of those? In other words, yeah. I mean, obviously, if you're hit by a locomotive, those things may not... But if you're in the... But if you get hit by a locomotive, I mean, it might still be the same. It's just...

As they say, that track. It's a sped up process, but at that point, maybe time is different. Right. Yeah. Who knows? I don't know. I mean, you think about when you have a dream, what seems like a three-hour dream is really only just a couple of seconds. Sometimes I'll get up to pee. Sometimes I'll stay in bed and pee. But sometimes I'll get up to pee, and it's like five minutes. And I will have a whole, by my perception, before the alarm goes off,

a whole story is played out in a dream, though it's only been a minute or two. Right, right. One suggests that oxygen, they have some theories, by the way, on exactly why, how, and why the life review phenomenon happens. One suggested oxygen deprivation during life-threatening events can trigger the release of neurotransmitters or chemical messages that transmit signals between neurons, and this causes neurons to fire rapidly, and this heightened activity may lead to perception or vivid memories and images. Another possible explanation is based on

On where memories are stored in the brain. Scientists believe that some emotional memories are stored in the amygdala, which is the same part of the brain that is responsible for the fight or flight response. Interesting. I don't know. To put the memories there seems, I'd put it in the flesher parts of your ass. It's more protective. The activation of this brain region during life-threatening experiences may therefore release these vivid memories, causing them to flash before our eyes.

What if it's actually a flash that you're seeing? You know, as they talk about flashing, people talk about flashes of light and seeing, you know, these things that are common to people who have had near-death experiences. I remember when George Harrison passed away, Pierre interviewed Graham Nash, and Graham said something about George that I'll never forget, which was that

of all the people that Graham Nash had ever met in his life, the one who was most prepared to pass away was George Harrison. That George knew that he was ill, that he felt death coming, and that he wasn't afraid of it. And I think that if you can get in some kind of mental state where you're ready and know that it's happening...

because we're all going to die. It's going to happen to all of us at some point or another. But to be mentally prepared for it, I kind of aspire to that. Well, sure. Well, George was very spiritual. Yeah. So he had... He was also in the Beatles. He was also in the Beatles. But no, he felt he was going to go to a good place and that whole thing. I don't. And therefore...

This is not a good idea to me. This does not feel like a good thing. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with that. Well, okay. But I've come to terms with that. But even if there's no spirituality attached to it, and I'm not a religious or spiritual person by nature, but the notion that occurs to me, and nobody knows, right? People believe, but nobody really knows, is that it's probably just like it was before you were alive. Right, right. And so it's like going to sleep or whatever. And that doesn't scare me.

Okay, well, good. Good for you. I mean, it's a good place to be. Yeah. You said that occasionally you'll run around your house screaming. Yeah. Quietly. I'm going to die! Disturbs the family or anything like that, but, you know. Because it is over! It is over! I'm going to die! I'm not a spiritual person! All right, and that is... I know you're all afraid of dying, and I'm afraid not much neither. Moron.

That's all we have time for. But thank you for stopping by the Just Saying Institute this morning. We are going to get a little more serious with our next call. So we're going to take a break. We're going to come back in a moment. Poised to be one of the more unique guests we've ever had. Yeah, it's an anonymous guest with a very unique, like I said, side hustle that's going on. But you just hang out. We'll be back in a moment. Stay with us.

This Friday, 93.3 WMMR brings you live coverage from the Eagles Championship Parade. Preston and Steve and Pierre will be doing their shows downtown from our official broadcast partner location, the Cambria Hotel Philadelphia. 219 South Broad Street. Fly, Eagles, fly. 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks.

All right, thanks, Nick. So yesterday in the Bizarre File, I had a story of a British police officer.

who was fired for a few different indiscretions. And one of them was that he farted in a woman's face. And she didn't like that. She did not. He softened my face. So he ended up getting suspended or fired or is under review or something like that. I don't remember the details of the full story. But later on,

in our program off air, Nick said, it's interesting that story that came up. Would you want to talk to someone that I happen to know who was approached by

by someone to do that very thing, to fart in their face. And be paid to do so. And be paid to do it. And you expressed the notion that this is somebody you've been friends with for a while and that it just, it was like a wow, oh, okay. I think it came to her at the right time in her life where...

And she didn't have any attachments that would preclude her from doing something like this. As far as I know, and we can ask her in a moment, but the introductions were made over Instagram. And she mulled it over and then realized that there's some money involved and she decided to do it. Can I ask how this came up in conversation with...

I guess you sure can. And you can ask her this, too. Completely unprompted. She texted me on Monday or Tuesday this week. She's like, well, you're never going to believe this. And I was like, I got about a 12 million questions. And then when you had that story yesterday, I texted her and I said, listen, this might be something for our show. Would you be comfortable if we talked about it? And then I was like, would you would you be comfortable coming on and you talking about it? Well, what was so funny is that as you're doing this story, I hear it to the right of me.

And he's clearly mulling it over in his mind. Is this something that we have to... No, Andrew, we've talked about things similar to this, but I don't think we've had this going right to the source. Oh, yeah.

So wait a minute. Yes. Is this audio that was sent over? So she messaged me this morning or yesterday and said, listen, I have some video that I've used in, I guess, in like contacting the person who wanted to pay her for this. So she emailed me that video that we could play on air. This is her corresponding with these people? This is basically her audition. Her audition? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh my God. Because I assume if one were to be hired for that, you'd have to be able to prove you could do it sort of on command. Yeah. Or that they like the sound or smell. Maybe that's part of it. I mean, through video, you can't convey that. You can fart into a rag and mail it to them. That's true. All right, here we go. This is audio. Can you believe he thought Kansas City was going to win? Oh my God. I'm so glad. You were...

I know you really believed in me. We pulled that out. We told you. Our vote was so good that you guys smell all of our farts. Yep. Yeah. Sorry. Dear God. Wow. Wait, there's more. Wait, what was that comment right after that? Hold on. Hang on. Loser. Loser?

So I guess I don't know what's going on. What I can ascertain, this ascertain is this is this is obviously for for a demeaning, right? A humiliation. I don't know. I don't know what the fetish is. But but she but Steve, to your question, your point, like she had to prove to this person who was going to pay her that she could.

Provide farts. Okay. Yeah. Of course. You got to make sure that you got to vet the people you hire. She's on the phone line. All right. She's on our Xfinity mobile guest line. Xfinity loves the association here. And you said there's a name I can call her? We're going to use a... Victoria. Victoria. Yes. An assumed name. All right. We need some music to play for Victoria. I have a special piece of music. Okay. That's all right.

Our special music band to bring her on. So let's go to... Hi. Hi, Victoria. Good morning. Hello. I actually wrote that song. It's me. You wrote that song. That's you. You are the Paul McCartney of that piece. I should have recognized your tone. Okay. So hang on. A lot of questions here. Let's begin. Let's start at the beginning. You were approached by someone. How did this connection happen?

It's actually a friend of mine. And like most of these things start, it was money, you know, looking for extra money. Okay. And it was presented to me back in like September, October. So to step back even a little bit further, you're friends with this person and this person contacted you directly? What made this person look at you and say, oh, I bet...

Victoria would be a good provider of these humiliating farts for, I assume it's some sort of kink or fetish or something like that, correct? Yes.

Yeah, so she works for, not works, she provides content for a fetish site. Okay. So knowing, I've been friends with her for years, knowing that I have the gift of gas, she was like, I think I got the perfect thing for you. Oh, okay. So you fart a lot, and so they knew it, and that's, okay, then that's why they approached you. Correct. Farting and burping, it's my thing. Wow. Can you give us a burp impromptu?

Um, guys, I'm actually sitting in a parking lot. I told my roommate slash mom that I was going to the gym. I don't even have a gym membership and I have beers in my hand so I can get burps out. Like, kind of stuff that I left for the gym with a couple of beers in my hand, but I'm going to do my best to burp for you. All right. Yeah, go ahead.

Well, wait for a second. It'll fly out when it's ready. Okay. You could have grabbed soda or something at 9 o'clock in the morning, but that's okay. She knows you're serious. You don't tell Van Gogh what paint to use. I know. I'm sorry. I'm out of line. Yes. Okay. So you're gassy. They approach you.

Now, you already know that she does fetish stuff, so this isn't completely out of the realm of bizarreness for her to bring this up to you then, I guess. Not at all. I was not surprised at all when she said this to me. Okay, so... Go ahead, Preston. And how long did you mull this over?

Since, like I said, September or October, around the end of September, October. And so this is when this happened, but you've only just recently decided to go forward with this? As of Tuesday. Oh, okay. So you've been sitting for a while. These are fresh farts. Okay. So did they want you to do this in person in front of them or do you record this and send it to them?

She took me to her friend's house who does this, you know, website, this fetish site. Yep. And I had no idea who he was.

I felt comfortable there with her and I just started, you know, firing. Yeah. OK, so with your are you wearing pants? Underwear is how close is he to your butt? Oh, he's in there. He's in there. So we're talking like your butt cheeks are earmuffs for him.

Like, her nose hurt at one point. Wow. Okay. Her nose? There's a couple different noses. But, yeah. All right. So, there's contact. There's contact. 100%. And you're saying both of them are recipients of your flatulence.

Yeah, not at the same time. Yeah, you only have so much ass. Okay, so are they doing this? Are they asking you to do this because they enjoy it? Or are they doing it because they want to have you film this and it's for the audience? Their audience. So I think this set of sight formed from, you know, a kink that he had. Okay.

It's not the kind of thing that comes up while you're having chicken fingers.

But I'd say this. So, you know, we know that there are a plethora of these kind of sites out there where you can find a community. And we talk about places like sites like OnlyFans and that they can be lucrative. Has your first foray into this proven to be a financial win for you? Yes, absolutely. Okay. So if you don't mind me asking, how much do you get paid for a session? Mm-hmm.

$100 an hour. $100 an hour? Okay, so it's an hourly wage. Okay. Yeah. And does that start after the first time you break wind or is it as soon as you get there?

As soon as he hits play, we're going. So this is not a judgment statement, but obviously for you, this does not seem or feel remotely sexual. And sometimes kinks are sexual and sometimes they're not. For this man who's doing the filming and has invited you over to do this thing, do you think that it is sexual for him? I haven't gone as far as asking him that.

Because I don't want to know that. Yeah. I mean, that's, again, yes, I can understand that because otherwise it detracts from the innocent purity of it. Absolutely. I don't, I don't, I'm already nervous enough. I don't need that. No. So, so. That, right?

In this world, though, honestly, and we've talked to people over the years who are doing all sorts of things that appeal to fetish communities and BDSM and all that stuff, and they conduct regular lives, and it's just part of the thing that they do. And again, yeah, you know, if you're doing something and it's all consensual, that's fine. Do you see a long-term aspect for this, or is this just, by your thinking right now, just a flash in the pan, a fart in the pan?

Uh...

I'm just going to take it a day at a time. If I listen, if I could make a career out of farting, like how lucky am I? Yeah, I was thinking I'm sitting next to Van Gogh. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right here. I know you could be making bank on this. Yeah. But like it's different when a guy farts. It's just not so sexy. Let me ask you, Victoria, is that the draw finding? Is it like finding a unicorn as a woman who can can do this?

He has a couple of other girls that can do it, but based on my first day there, he has gotten feedback like they want more. So you're poised. We talked earlier about Will Chamberlain's 100 points in a game. You're poised to be the Will Chamberlain of your particular, of this thing, right? I mean, it sounds like he's found...

He's found a champ in you. I mean, I don't get my hopes up. But maybe. Maybe. This is so interesting. $100 an hour. I'd be curious as to if we were to do a poll or something like this, would you or would you not fart in someone's face if they paid you $100 an hour to do it? And I mean, really, seriously consider that. So you're not...

You're not getting sexual gratification out of this. You don't know if they are, but there is contact taking place. There's no penetration of sorts, right? No. Okay. So what you're simply saying is that their faces are nuzzled right up into your crack.

Right in there. Okay. All up in there. All up in it. Yeah. Describe for the audience what you were wearing at the time. I had just like panties on. I made it clear, no nudity for me. Okay. I want to keep this PG as possible. So that schools could show it. Yeah. Just like panties with hearts on. And then we had leggings on. So it was nothing...

Nothing wild. Did this make you did this make you curious to see what the state of the industry is like in this type of fetish? Did you did you find yourself sort of exploring other what other people are doing? Not at all. OK. Again, I'm like strictly business. No, no. I understand. And so when you go in, how many times have you done this, by the way? Just once. I'm going back on Tuesday, though. OK. And how long was that session? Was it more than an hour?

It was three hours. 300 bucks. Three bills. And honestly, so as you're first starting this, this is something that you're good at doing anyway, but does your diet shift? Were your diets shifted in anticipation of this? Yes. I've been working years on, obviously I have a gas problem. I've been working years to eliminate things from my diet that

That gives me this gas. And now I'm like, well, that just went out the window. Yeah. Now it's all Brussels sprouts and broccoli. So to that point, do you, do you have someone in your life? Are you in a relationship? I'm involved. Okay. And how does, is this person aware of this?

He is. I was very honest with him about it. And it's at the point now where he's, it's just don't ask, don't tell. He knows I'm doing it. Okay. Yeah. How did you bring that up to him, Victoria? I just said it.

You just said it. Yeah. Okay. I want you to listen. Rip the band-aid off. Guess who's buying dinner tonight? Yeah. I think... He laughed at first. I was like, no, I'm serious. Okay. Oh, wow. I think that you can make more than $100 an hour, to be honest. Yes, I do. I do, too. I think you need an agent. No more worth. I have a pay structure in mind for you because I used to do voiceovers regularly, and there's certain rates for session work. Oopsie. What do you need...

What you need to do, you need to... Oh, that was a burp. Oh, there we go. I'm sorry, Victoria. I stepped on you. You were working and I had no idea. No, but you should... Your first hour is more of a premium charge and then every hour after is a little bit less. So generally, it would be like $300 for the first hour for voiceover session. I'm just throwing numbers out here. And then $100 every hour afterwards. So I think you should do that, Victoria. I think you should charge like...

$200 at least for the first hour and then $100 for every hour after. I think that makes sense. Is that still a low, Nick? I think you can do like $250, $300 an hour just flat. Okay.

He offered me up to $200 an hour, but it included face and nudity. And I'm drawing the line there. No, you don't surrender. You got to have your self-respect. At least you guys negotiated. I'm going to do a quick search where you guys are talking about what the industry pays for. Parting videos? Yes. Okay. So you've done this one time. When you left, how did you feel?

Fine. I felt relieved of gas. I'm sure you felt a little less bloated, but how did you feel mentally? Totally fine. Wow. Then, hey. Well, good for you. So I'm looking here and there are, it depends on, see, this is, there's no, you need to set the standard because there are actually people who fart in jars.

Yes. And that's part of it as well. Who would do such a thing? That's disgusting. So here's what I'm going to do, Victoria. We're going to conference in a friend of ours who is a very successful OnlyFans. She does explicit material on OnlyFans. She is a calendar, one of our calendar favorite, all-time favorite calendar girls. Entrepreneur. And she's an entrepreneur. And we have, can we get her music, please? Thank you. Sarah. Sarah.

We have our friend Sarah Clayton who's on. Hi, Sarah. Hi, guys. Hi. So you heard us talking to Victoria here? I did. All right. And what... Number one, do people ask you to fart in their face and things like that? I have never once been asked that. Let me ask you, what's your gut instinct? I'll use that phrasing.

As far as the pay for with Victoria getting one hundred dollars an hour in in this sort of subsection, does that use quasi in the industry? Does this seem good? Could she be doing better?

I mean, I personally would probably want more than that. But the fact that she is not nude, that's a different aspect. I'm very happy that there's no chance of anything happening that's going to make her uncomfortable in that aspect. But, yeah, I feel like you could.

Name your price, but at the same time, you don't want to price yourself out of the market. So I don't really know. No, so what do you think about that, Victoria? Because I understand your predicament. You come in, you're a newbie, and you're like, oh, this has found money. I mean, it was going to happen anyway. I might as well monetize it. But do you think you could get bold and start to raise prices? Good.

She really needs an agent or a mentor. Yeah, right? How close are you with Kathy Romano? Because I feel like she can help you. She can do these bargainings for you. She handles a lot of people in this industry. Yeah, give her my number.

Could you see Kathy negotiating this? 100%. They want you to take a dump on the floor. Yeah. Now, how do you feel about that? I said no nudity. Yeah. I'm looking out for your chicky baby. Yeah, Sarah. So with Victoria new to this, and by the way, Victoria, these videos, I assume, are posting on OnlyFans, right? Or would you rather not say?

I will not say the website. Okay. But I did just start in OnlyFans. I mean, it just got verified as of this morning. Okay. So you could actually take this on yourself. So, Sarah, this is within you and your husband. You run your site, correct? And so has it been lucrative for you? Oh,

Oh yeah, definitely. Okay. And you can now do this and do this only, right? You don't have to have another job. No, I mean, I'm not to that point. I mean, I don't, I kind of am very demure about what I advertise on purpose, but there is like, you know, there's a lot of fun extra stuff on my page, but, uh,

You definitely could make a full-time career out of it if you choose to. Sarah, you've been modeling for a long time. We've known you probably for a decade or so at this point. How long did it take, because you've had other modeling sites and obviously Instagram and whatever else, but how long did it take for you to make OnlyFans successful, lucrative, like Steve was talking about, a way to actually have an income?

I think probably like a year, year and a half, but also right after I started. I think COVID started a year in after I had it. So that did help because people had extra discretionary income. So that was a conversion or a...

Catalyst? Yeah, basically that helped do that. So that moment- Yeah, there definitely was a bump because there were people that were at home and had extra money. A confluence of events, as they say. So Victoria, I had just had a little idea because if you want to talk about the viral traction, how about Hock Pua? Yeah.

Okay. Get that vibe going. That can be your thing because look what the Hawk Tour got. Before she got involved in cryptocurrency, she was doing quite well. So, I mean, ultimately, you could take a little bit of ownership, perhaps learn the industry from this guy. But I think we all kind of agree what you're doing is a commodity that probably should be yielding a little bit more money. Mm-hmm.

Now that you guys planted the seed, I mean, I'm going to shoot for the stars here. Sarah, what would you charge to fart in someone's face? What do you think? Oh, my God. I am cringing so much just thinking about it. And that's no judgment on you, Victoria, whatsoever. I'm just saying. $1,000? Thank you.

God, I don't even know if I'd do that. Maybe. I don't know. I wouldn't be able to be serious. I would be giggling the entire time. To that point, Victoria, were you giggling a little bit for this session you just had? There was a couple of times where I was like, oh my God, I'm totally going to lose it. Especially because she's one of my closest friends. I'm like blasting her in the face. There were a few times where

The guy there, he's like, farts are funny. Laugh if you have to. Oh, okay. I'm going to conference in one more person, your potential agent. And for the purposes of this call, we're calling her Danny Torrance from The Shining because we were speaking to Kathy last night and she was talking like this. I don't know how her voice is now. Are you there, Danny slash Kathy?

I am on my deathbed. I have the flu something. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I felt the need to call in on this conversation. $100 an hour, she's getting ripped off. Oh, yes, there it is. Now, Kathy is a successful entrepreneur as well, so I would heed her advice. Kathy, this is not your world. I was joking. You've done a few snuff films, but not anything like this. What would you estimate would be the way to...

uh break down the payment structure for what victoria is providing

I mean, clearly, I'd need to do a little research. This is not my area of expertise, but $100 an hour, no way. There are regular, I guess I could call them, professions that some people are making that money. This girl going and farting in people's faces, there's got to be more money in it. Okay. I think that's sage advice from someone who knows. Hey, Danny Tarrance, are you willing to be her agent? Yes.

Would you say keys? Would you be willing to be her agent? Negotiate some deals for her? Yeah. Would you be willing to be her intimacy coordinator on set? On set.

No, but I just want to help this poor girl. $100 an hour? No way. Don't go back on Tuesday until you ask for more money. Okay, and Danny, can you give us one red room before you go? Red room. Red room. All right, feel better, Kat. Goodbye. We miss you. See you. She sounds so bad. She does sound bad. I mean, I hope she's good, but...

Friday's, you know... But I think Victoria's getting shortchanged, but it may already be too late because she's done it once already for this money. So, Victoria, to that point, if that's the case and that's all it's going to be, if you were to take a little bit more ownership with your own or whatever your site or whatever service you're on, I think that's something... Listen, if you're cool with it and it's completely consensual and there is a willing, eager public that makes sense and you're totally fine with it, I just think...

So, Casey and Preston, obviously you guys are very good friends. Yeah.

If out of the... I've seen his butthole before. Right, right. Would you stick your face up in that? For how much money? Oh, for... Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Like, how much would it take for me to stick my face up there while you're ripping one? How much do I owe you? Wow. No. Yeah. So that's a different animal here than Victoria has. But that would... Listen, I'm not...

A religious man. No. Well, we know that. I do have a price. Yeah. I'm not beyond doing something demeaning and stupid if the price is right. Okay. Okay. Unless it crosses some kind of line that I don't feel comfortable going over. Give us a mind. Give us a ballpark. I would say I'd do it for...

I'd do it for $500. Okay. Hang on a second. I don't need thousands. You know what I could give for $500? That's a lot of money. $500. Okay, so what do you got there? Five, six, no. I'm going to have to hit the ATM here. ATM? Yeah. My mouth is not going anywhere. No, it's yes. But not ATM. So a lot of times you have trouble getting sort of inconsequential purchases past Diane. How are you going to explain this one?

Well, I'm not making the purchase. Oh, yeah, I would be making the purchase. You wouldn't be paying me. All right, I'll take 500 bucks. But Sarah Clayton, I'd only charge you $300 to fart in my face. There you go. Oh, thank you. And by the way, yeah, Victoria, I don't think it's too late to up your price. The way I look at it is you were working on a rookie contract and you superseded what your expectations were. And so now you go for the max deal.

I'm going to re-invite you. All right. And your next session is when, Victoria? Tuesday. Okay. Now, I'd like to help you out and mention your OnlyFans account, but then again, you don't want people to know who you are.

I can actually, well, first of all, I texted Nick the wrong name because I'm new to this, you know, fake name. It's actually Veronica. It's Veronica. Oh, it's not Victoria. It's Veronica. Okay. You're off to a strong start. It was the wrong fake name. I am totally willing to share the OnlyFans. Go ahead. And then we're going to get Sarah's as well. But what is it?

Veronica underscore star with two R's and another underscore. All right. Veronica underscore star with two R's and another underscore. Okay. Yeah. And that is your OnlyFans account. Okay. Nothing on there yet. Absolutely nothing on there yet. Okay. So it's just set up. So don't, well, you got to get something up there quick. We're going to throw that out there. Like a sizzle reel. Yeah. Yeah. And then Sarah, what if, if you want to mention your OnlyFans account, you certainly can.

Yeah, mine is just Sarah with an H Clayton and it's actually on sale for 50% off for the weekend. Oh, in honor of the President's Day. And also Sarah Clayton modeling on Instagram. If you want to go take a look there first and that's wonderfully beautiful too. But Sarah Clayton modeling, I believe is your Instagram account, right?

Correct, yeah. There you go. All right. We'll make sure people are aware of that. Everyone being very candid and open, we appreciate the information because we are all endlessly inquisitive about this. All right, Sarah, we're going to let you go, though, but we'll play your song on the way out. Thank you for calling this morning. Thanks, guys. I love you. Are you going to come to Cardboard Classic?

I'm going to try to. Okay, let us know if you do. All right, we'll see you later. Sarah Clayton, Calendar Girl, the president of Steve Schell. President, we got another text from a different Calendar Girl. If you want to read this, it starts here and then goes up there. Hi, guys. It's Carly May from the 2020 Calendar Girl. Just wanted to jump in and say that I charge $400 for five-minute farting kink videos.

And she says, LOL, Victoria can definitely make more money. I also cannot fart on command the way she can. So it takes more time to prepare for the video. Ha ha. But I cater to a lot of interesting fetishes on my page. By the way, it says ex Carly Mae. So I think that must be her only fans account. Ex Carly Mae.

Carly May. Yeah, all right. And I think she's on Instagram, too. So quick question, Victoria. We are correct. Or Veronica, we are correct. You can do this on command, correct?

If I eat the right food, I don't know if it's on command, but it's constant. Constant. All right. So from what we're hearing, that is a commodity. A price we just heard is four times what you're currently making. Yeah, I've been robbed. Is there a market for 50-year-old men who fart? Oh, there's a market for everything.

What is it, Rule 39? Yes, there is someone out there. There's a kink and a thing for everything. And it's staggering. So for extra money, I could either fart or... You could have had a swim spa years ago. I could sell my plasma or I could fart or I could do both. Yeah, you could do both. And whatever happened to the Kathy's foot videos that we were supposed to... And what about those pictures we were supposed to see of Kathy's feet? I've seen her making videos. I think she's working on something big. Yeah, what?

I think we might actually... Do you think she's really not sick and that she's in some far-flung location? Maybe. Probably. Doing some exotic foot shots? She's in Tunisia where the original Star Wars was filmed? Maybe.

with two sons. Yeah. And farting. And farting with her feet. And on Tatooine. Play Two Sons, Casey. He's looking for it. Yeah, I can see it now. I hope you. Okay, hold on a moment. Listen, think of the pastoral beauty of two sons. Tatooine. And then Kathy steps up on the edge just the way Luke Skywalker did. And then...

All right. Wait, wait, wait. No, Veronica, we think you're being a little bit short-changed, but we understand you're new to the business. You don't want to be entitled. Yeah. But you're worth more. Yeah.

I appreciate the motivation. I'm going to go in there and demand a raise. Absolutely. I encourage you to go through with this endeavor because clearly after your first session, you found it. It didn't bother you at all. You actually found it kind of fun. So why not? If we get a mask for you, would you consider performing at the blood drive? I actually have a mask. It's a real good one.

really good one. Nick, I think I showed you a picture of it. So I would consider it, actually. Alright, and once the OnlyFans is up and running and you have any type of content or whatever, let me know and I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Just let me know and I'll let these guys know. Sounds good. Alright, Veronica, thank you for sharing your story. Very, very interested, okay?

You guys have a good day. I love you. Thank you. There you go. Those things make you fart. That's Bill West. What was he talking about? I don't know. Those things make you fart. I don't know. Maybe it's some I get off. He likes those videos. He does like those videos.

All right. Well, that was certainly interesting. Nick, thank you for setting that up. Yeah. Yeah. I did not expect that text earlier this week. I didn't think that it was going to turn into a radio segment, but you never know what our listeners are into or not into. And very open about it. I'm really glad she called. I commend her. And it was nice of Sarah to call in as well. Yes. Agreed. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. I know it already seems like we were there, but the bizarre file is what we'll be doing next. So hang out. 2025 Saturday morning.

Saturday, May 10th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. Somebody check my brain. Alice in Chains, Three Days Grace. With both Matt Walsh and Adam Gontier. Mammoth WVH. Dorothy, plus Dead Poets Society. Why the hell would you hurt yourself?

All right, thank you, Nick. Yes, we'll be at the Cambria Hotel on Broad Street tomorrow morning. It's 219 South Broad Street. To be more specific, it's right between Locust and Walnut. And we'll be doing our show from there. And we...

Hopefully, we'll see you if you're amongst the masses that are along Broad Street and that kind of avenue of the arts area, which is just great. We were looking at video of where we will be set up inside the balcony to be looking out. And just that long stretch down Broad right before you hit City Hall is just a great spot. It's perfect. It's so good. Yeah. I was unaware of the Hotel de Cambria and...

seeing it and seeing Marissa's little tour of it inside. It's really slick and stylish looking, so I'm very excited. Yep, and they got a bar right there. Yes, they do. Right by where we will be. So, beautiful thing. All right, Bizarre File time. Here we go. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File. All right, since we were just talking about OnlyFans, I'm going to lead with a story. All right. A Florida judge ruled in favor of a school district

That prevented a mom who modeled for OnlyFans from volunteering at her kid's elementary school after it learned what she did for a living. Victoria Treece sued Orange County Public Schools for a million dollars in 2023 after the school district said she would no longer volunteer Sand Lake Elementary School because of her occupation.

Principal received anonymous email in 2021 from a concerned parent, along with two explicit photos of Treece. I was going through my OnlyFans clients when I noticed somebody that works at the school. The school's principal, Kathleen Phillips, alerted her boss. Ultimately, the school said she could no longer volunteer. Treece sued, arguing that she was robbed of her due process and privacy rights.

But Orange County Circuit District Circuit Judge Brian S. Sandover wrote in a 22 page opinion that trees does not have a substantive, substantive, substantive, substantive due process right.

to volunteer in the program. Yeah, I get that. You have a right to work, but not to volunteer, I guess. What if she had farted in people's faces? Sander also noted that Treece never appealed the decision with the school district itself. There's nothing in the district's policy that says parents have a right to volunteer, the judge argued. So Sander granted the school district's motion for summary judgment on all accounts. But I thought it said she was suing for...

saying that she was robbed of her due process and privacy rights as well. So I don't know. Oh, hell. We're not lawyers. All right. In Illinois, the owner of a steakhouse was tragically stabbed to death inside the restaurant late Saturday night during a gender reveal party. And his girlfriend and two of her sons are in custody. Think about the fires, the explosions, the mishaps. And now it's stabbing. So why not just tell people?

Dispatched to 4114 Steaks and Seafood Saturday night, they found Joshua Kirkwood with numerous stab wounds to his wrist, back and right side. He was pronounced dead. He's the owner of the steakhouse. It's a boy. Kirkwood got into an argument with his girlfriend, a manager at the restaurant, during a gender reveal party that was being held in the basement of the business. Two of the woman's sons, including 21-year-old Isaiah Gonzalez...

allegedly got involved. Witnesses told police the woman's 16-year-old son grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him multiple times. The woman was also stabbed in the leg. Both brothers left the restaurant after the attack. The 21-year-old Gonzalez later showed up at a medical center with a stab wound. Police located the blood-covered knife in the kitchen of the restaurant. There's no evidence Kirkwood had any weapons on him at the time of the incident.

Isaiah Gonzalez appeared in court Monday morning and was ordered held on three counts of murder. By the way, the 16-year-old brother and the mother are also in custody, but they haven't been officially charged yet. That's horrible. Mommy, tell me about the murder at my gender reveal party again. Wow. More than 170 bombs from World War II were discovered underneath a children's playground in northern England. And it's believed that more will be unearthed.

The first of the bombs, which still contained a charge, by the way, were discovered at the playground in Wooler, Northumberland in January. And a total of 176 bombs have now been found so far. And experts feel fear that more will be unearthed. You heard that story that they found a thousand Fisher-Price toys under a munitions factory. Oh, my God. I mean, they really do have to be careful even just uncovering this stuff. They do. Yeah.

Yes, and this has been since forever that people find unexploded ordnance in and around the area. It's like, look, here's another ball. Hey, throw me that ball. Ready? All right, now all we have to do is fart in my... So the playground was in the process of being updated when staff found a suspicious object while digging the foundation. The Paris Council said in a statement that...

Brimstone Site Investigations was hired to survey the playground and that it quickly became apparent that the scale of the problem was far greater than anyone had anticipated. Officials said 65 practice bombs weighing about 10 pounds each were found in the area, in an area less than 10 square meters. Smoke cartridges were recovered from the same pit and then another 90 practice bombs were

were found at a 20 square feet area as well. And I was gobsmacked. It is believed the area where the playground was initially built was used...

as a home guard training ground, and the bombs were buried at the end of the war. And then you think about how comprehensive are the records that were kept of where things were stored. Obviously not well. Yeah. Work to dispose of the bombs is anticipated to continue through at least the end of the month. All right, we'll do one more story, and then we will wrap it up. Let's go with this.

Lee County Sheriff's Office is investigating a bizarre incident that unfolded in San Carlos Park where a man riding a lawnmower destroyed multiple mailboxes. Neighbors, including Matt Clarity, the guy was drunk, by the way. The neighbors, including Matt Clarity, whose mailbox was among the victims, are still in disbelief after witnessing the unusual scene. He

He said it was absolutely disgusting, but it's also funny. I can watch it up to 100 times, he said, though he added that he hoped that the culprit would be caught. Austin Beer, a neighbor in the area, expressed frustration and said, F you. So he was just running in a straight line over their mailboxes? I guess. But he said, F you. I hope you at least paid for the mailboxes to be fixed. Definitely don't hit my mailbox and don't hit my truck, he said.

One neighbor, Justin Crawford, went further, calling for the driver to be held accountable. He said he should be arrested, thrown in jail for driving while intoxicated on a lawnmower. Be a man and turn yourself in. You shouldn't be doing this, Crawford said.

Neighbors reported that the lawnmower rider left behind a Pittsburgh Steelers hat and a pair of sunglasses. Deputies are currently working to identify the individual responsible for the vandalism. Watch this video. This is too good to watch. So we're watching a guy...

On a riding lawnmower, slam into one of the mailboxes that has like a concrete or stone reinforcement around it. He hits it and then he goes head over heels over the front of it. I don't know. Is this the same story? It is. Okay. I mean, they could have just submitted it for like America's Funniest Video to make some money off of it. Absolutely.

The investigation continues. Residents are hopeful that the man will be caught and held accountable for his actions. Mailbox is getting a little high there, don't you think? That is what I have in the bizarre file for you for now. All right, we'll come back and we'll see how closely you've been listening to the program. We've got a lesson question. Trash and music news are coming up, too, so stay put. We'll be right back.

On 93.3 WMMR. Paranoid for us this morning. 18 minutes after 10 o'clock. Preston and Steve radio program. Just having a little discussion about...

The parade in BirdBot and definitely bringing BirdBot 2.0, but we might bring BirdBot 1 too. The OG. To be on display. Why not? Yeah. I mean, it's like if you had two trophies, you know, or two championship belts or whatever, you'd bring those out, right? Don't throw out the first one. So there's a good chance. It's a matter of space because our engineering department is going to be quite busy today.

moving stuff to the event. And also, I want to mention that our live stream partners, Newman University, students from Newman Media are going to be with us on Broad Street. And they're running the President Steve Show video stream live on YouTube from the championship. It's great. It's awesome.

That's wonderful. So hopefully we'll be bringing plenty of visuals to you as well. And we'll be sharing our personal experiences while we were there, you know, in case. And here's something I noticed as well. Marissa gave me some transcripts from 2018 when we were there. Believe it or not, we kind of have people log what we do on the program and we can go back and see some of it. But...

We spent a lot of time talking, taking phone calls from people who were on the parade route. Yeah. What things were like in their neck of the woods. And so maybe we'll be looking to do that again, too. So if you've got the app with you and you can tune in and you can listen, if you happen to be headed down early and are hanging out during our show, we may use you as a parade correspondent.

Love that idea. I was just chatting with Mike from our engineering department, and the hope is, and Rodney's going to be working on this as well, Rodney Bird, that they're going to be able to tap into the audio from the parade itself. So, you know, hear some of the speeches, hear some of the playback of the game, you know, like they did a few years ago. So we should get some cool audio from the parade route itself. Nice. All right. We're going to take this moment to ask you a question. It is our lesson learned question, and we're going to give away tickets to see the Doobie Brothers.

and the Coral Reefer Band on August 13th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. And the question we'll go with is this. About 7.32 this morning, we found out what sport Hitler did play-by-play for. What was it? 215-263-WMMR. What sport did Hitler do play-by-play for at one point? 215-263-WMMR. It's very specific. Let's see if you know the answer. The trash business is a fool.

93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, we'll get to the story. Steve, what's going on this morning? Well, again, Teen Mom Turned Porn Star Farrah Abraham will be making her stand-up comedy debut at a gentleman's club in Manhattan later this month. Abraham will reportedly be doing a lot of crowd work, which in this case involves giving the crowd handjobs. Though he's serving four years in prison, rapper Blueface

debuting a huge number of new face tattoos on the social media. Blueface says many are suggesting he should now be called Tattoo Face. Oh, my God. He says that would be stupid. And finally, actor Armie Hammer striking back at the rumors he's a cannibal. He appeared on the Louis Theroux podcast. Hammer told the host that if he really loved eating human flesh, then why would he have to douse it in ranch dressing? That's your honey talk.

We'll ask a lesson question and see if you know the answer once again. It is, what sport did Hitler do play-by-play for? 215263 WMMR. It's Tom that we'll go to. Hey, Tom, good morning. Good morning. What's up, fellas? Yo, buddy. Looking for the answer. All right. Do you know what sport Hitler did the play-by-play for? T-ball? T-ball. Yeah!

You are correct, sir. Tom, hang on. We're going to give you a pair of tickets to go as MMR rocks the Doobie Brothers at the Core Reefer Band on August 13th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. Tickets are on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. Preston and Steve's Music View on 93.3 WMMR. Yeah!

I got a couple of follow-ups on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations that were announced the other day. So, Bad Company is considered by many to be one of the biggest omissions from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And now for the very first time, the classic band has been nominated for the 2025 inductions. Yeah. And singer Paul Rogers and drummer Simon Kirk spoke with Billboard about Bad Company's nomination. Rogers, Chris,

...credited fans and friends of the band for the nomination and said... ...they've been lobbying for this nomination persistently for years... ...and they've never given up, so big thanks to them. Kirk, meanwhile, was actually forward with his feelings and said... ...it's rankled me a bit. We've been around for a long time and we've influenced a lot of bands... ...and I think it's a place that we deserve.

Bad Company released their self-titled debut album in 1974. An artist becomes eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame 25 years after their first official release. So the band has been eligible since 1999. However, there may be a reason why it has taken so long. Apparently, Rogers shared in an October 2023 interview that Atlantic Records Rock and Roll Hall of Famer co-founder Ahmaud Artegun said,

had invited him to be inducted, but he turned it down. Rogers said he told Erdogan, I don't think rock and roll belongs in a museum. And he also alleged that he was approached to be inducted a couple of times, and he turned it down. But now, different story. He wants to be inducted.

The Black Crows are nominees as well. And despite previous negative remarks about the Rock Hall, singer Chris Robinson is very happy about the nomination. He said that he and the band are thrilled about being considered for induction. And he said, just to be mentioned, alongside some of the names of the greatest artists, it's fantastic.

Of course, Robinson hasn't always had such a warm and fuzzy feeling about the Rock Hall. Billboard notes that back in May 2017, Robinson said if the Black Crows were inducted, he would attend and said the Rock and Roll... He said that he would not attend. And he said the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to me is like going to the mall or something. So that stuff obviously...

can come back to haunt you. Yeah. Robinson, like other artists before him, mentioned how as time passes, you can change your mind and doesn't regard his previous remarks as some sort of deposition. He added that if the Black Crows are voted, he will be there, quote, with bells on my feet.

Including the Black Crows, the other 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees include not only Bad Company, but Mariah Carey, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Joy Division and New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Manna, which by the way is a Spanish group. I still don't know much about them. They're Mexican. Oh, they're Mexican. Spanish language. Spanish language, okay. And Oasis, Outkast, Phish, Soundgarden and the White Stripes.

Joining the Black Crows as first-time Hall nominees, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Manna, Outkast, and Fish. The inductees will be announced in late April. Preston, I didn't know anything about Manna either, but there's an article on PrestonAndSteve.com and WMMR.com that asks that very question. You can learn a little bit about him. You can vote every day, once a day, for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so I need to go and do that now.

Vote for Manna. Do we know what the... Is there a hit associated with Manna? Or would they only be known in... Don't know. Mexico. I'm just curious. There's a band that it plays in from Dusk Till Dawn. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm wondering if... That wasn't Lonely Boys, was it? Oh, that might have been, yeah.

I'm not talking anymore. You're looking. Yeah. I thought you had more. No, I'm going to vote for Fish again. Okay. Yeah. No, it's not. Tito and Tarantula was the name of the band in... Not Manor Press. What was it? From Dusk Till Dawn. From Dusk Till Dawn. Manor's lead singer...

I'm sorry, Steve, is called Oye Mi Amor. It's the most streamed song by the band on Spotify and Apple Music. And they're four guys from Mexico that grew up listening to The Beatles, The Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Eva Santana. So it's a rock band that we're just not that familiar with because it's Spanish language. Oh, yeah. Okay. We'll have to do some diving to get into that.

All right, and then finally, the Lumineers have exciting news for fans. They're hitting the road for their Automatic 2025 World Tour, covering the U.S. and Canada from July through mid-October. Fans can sign up for a special ticket pre-sale starting Tuesday on the band's website with general sales starting February 21st. They will be performing at Citizens Bank Park on September 19th. Is it just them at...

I thought it looked like that. The Lumineers? I didn't look up Citizens Bank Park on that date to see who else is on there, but they have a ton of special guests lined up for the tour, including Young the Giant, St. Vincent, and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, among others. All right. Different guests are joining them on different dates, so...

Nick is taking a look now and see if we can identify that. But I was kind of surprised by that. I don't know a whole hell of a lot about the Lumineers. I like them. Yeah. But they open for you, too. Yeah. But Citizens Bank Park. Yeah. I thought they were an opening act for a big stadium band, meaning that, you know, that they they have a following. I didn't know they were Citizens Bank big. So here they're going to have special guests, Dr. Dog and Chance Pena. Oh, Dr. Dog's a Philly artist. Yeah. And I like Dr. Dog's.

or a few songs by Dr. Dog. I don't know them that well. But also, that's not a stadium act. And no disrespect to Dr. Dog. No, it's interesting, though. It's a hospital act. That's all that I know, dear friends. Because he's a doctor. All right. That's it. We're going to take a break. We're going to come back in a second. We're going to wrap up our program and get the letter of the day for the word of the week. So that is on the way for you when we return.

This Friday, 93.3 WMMR brings you live coverage from the Eagles Championship Parade. Preston and Steve and Pierre will be doing their shows downtown from our official broadcast partner location, the Cambria Hotel Philadelphia. 219 South Broad Street. Fly, Eagles, fly. 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks.

Thumb Party 1 and Landmines on MMR's President Steve Show comes to a close for a Thursday morning. We'll be leaving the comfy confines of our studio for a breezy but very, very fun and crazy enthusiastic day tomorrow. We'll get to the details in a little bit. I would like to thank our one and only guest on the show this morning. Anonymously, Veronica called us.

for a very interesting conversation. One you, if you are unaware, you may want to listen back on the podcast. Yeah, yeah. If you've ever thought about, you know, finding a way to make money from something you didn't think was worth a single penny.

And then you find out if you fart in someone's face, you can make money. Make bank, bro. Yeah. And we think way more money. We think she's being underpaid. Yes. But I mean, if she gets a lot of work, it might be worth it. I don't really know what to say. But nonetheless, thank you. The age-old dilemma. Thank you to...

for checking in with us this morning. But that was it as far as... And Sarah Clayton gave us a call. Sarah Clayton. Yeah. A call from Sarah and a check-in from Calendar Girl Carly. Yeah. And Dr. Mike. And Dr. Mike. How about that? Look at this. Everybody was on. Doctors and farters. And Kathy. Kathy. Kathy.

All these things have happened. It's amazing. Is there anything else? I can't think of anyone else. Before I wrap up. Danny Torrance called in. Yeah, that's true too. So, Pierre Robert is in Le Studio this morning. Hello. Hello. Ready for tomorrow, Cambria's? Yeah, man. We're getting ready. It's cool. We are going to have some fun down there. I think we are. It's such a perfect location. I'm getting a hotel down there tonight. Are you?

That seemed to me to be the most logical plan. Although, a couple of nights ago, I was going through hotels.

And every one of them have spiked the occasion to increase their bottom line. $200 rooms, $8,000, $9,000 for rooms in average hotels. $8,000 or $9,000? Sorry, $8,000 or $900 to $1,000. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Some $1,100, some $1,200. Ridiculous. I took a quick look on...

VBRO to see if there were any houses or apartments to rent. There were very few of those. Just one or two in Center City that I saw and they were $400 a night. So if you have a Center City place, you could cash out tomorrow. Very much so. I looked into a friend of ours, Jesse, has an Airbnb and I reached out to him on behalf of these guys. I had gotten a room on Sunday night. I was like, I already know what I'm doing here. But

he's like, no, he's like, it's already gone sold to birds fans, Eagles fans. Uh, we, uh, one of, uh, our listeners, uh, I was doing a couple of pieces I recorded from broad street yesterday. And one of our listeners texted in and reserved a room, um,

two months ago and for the whole week. Okay. And she... It's a good idea. It was brilliant. Yeah, no, because you can cancel it. Yeah. But I guess she's been there for the whole week. I don't know if she had to take all five or six days she reserved because she didn't know which day the parade would fall.

Because normally it's like today. Wouldn't it be normally today? Thursday. That's the way they did it in 2018. I mean, normally. It's not a normal thing. You never know. So anyway, it's going to be cool. Everybody, be cool tomorrow. Have fun. Be nice. Be lovey. Hey, did you see the video that Marissa took of the Cambria? I did not. I heard you talking about it. Great. You're going to love it. I'm looking forward to seeing that. We got a great spot.

Cool. Very much looking forward to it. All right. Letter of the day? Yes. All right. Let's do this. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. And the Preston and Steve show is brought to you today by the letter... P as in pride. All right. We have one more to go. $500 from Captain America. We will give away tomorrow. Don't miss Marvel Studios' Captain America. Brave New World starring Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford's in theaters everywhere.

This Friday, and you can get tickets now. Thank you for playing my song yesterday during the Rush Workforce Block. I listened to that, and I love that you added time stands still in the whole idea of that right now, all this...

Enjoyment that we're getting from the Super Bowl victory should be savored. You should stop and think about it and spend some time on it. If this has brought you joy, have it bring you some extended joy by acknowledging it, really taking it in. It's so important, and I'm glad you got to hear it. I remember when we got the Eddie Vedder interview, which I had been working on for well over 10 years.

and was so frustrating. We got every member of the band except for Eddie and work, work, and finally it worked out. We got the interview. We got a shout-out, which I didn't expect. And a couple of days, you know, and we're trying to savor that because, I mean, it was really special to us. And Bill goes, all right, well, let's move on. I go, no! I'm sorry.

Bill, as I said, no. Do you know how many radio stations across the country would give their teeth and toes and fingers for what we just got? You can't just say, all right, next, let's talk about. I need you to stop talking and listen to me. We can't just jump off to the cardboard classic now. No, we have to savor this because in radio, the tendency is, all right, done, next, done, next. Yeah, my stand has got to go.

But we don't. We're going to savor this. Shut the F down, Bill, and shut the F up. Because I'm telling you what's happening now. We're going to savor this. Yeah. We're getting in the bathtub. We're going to soak this thing in. We're soaking it in the tub of love. And victory.

And victory. Well, and as Philadelphians, we don't get this type of thing very often. Exactly. You know, and so we really should take the time to enjoy it. I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow. It's going to be cold but beautiful. And, you know, yeah, soak it all in. Yeah. Because there's been a long drought in this town in a lot of different respects. And for us to be able to get together and celebrate and have a good time together should be a blast. You know what we're doing right now? We're marinating it. Yeah, man. I like that. Because...

Some sports people I've heard go, all right, well, it's a dynasty. No, no, no, no, no. No, next year it's going to be. No, no. Right. Stop. Agreed. Enjoy it. I remember when the Phillies won the thing. I watched TV and a couple, Michael Barkan and a couple of his associates going, this is just the beginning of several World Series in a row. And I think they did go the next year. They went the next year, but they only won once. So enjoy this while you can because you never know what's going to happen next year.

Bathtub, savor, marinate. Excellent. All right. What's up on the show today? I don't know. Ah, hell. It's Peter Gabriel's birthday. We're going to celebrate that. We're going to... It's National Radio Day, so I want to do some radio songs in honor of radio.

And I have all these inspirational songs I've been working on and preparing and thinking, well, maybe I'll do those tomorrow. Maybe I'll do some of those today. But tomorrow's Valentine's Day and I always do a huge love-hate block. So I don't know exactly how the bulk of the program is going to shape out. We'll figure it out as we go. I like that. All right.

We'll take this moment to thank our sponsors. President Steve's Show is brought to you today by Trinity Rehab. Locations all over, trinity-rehab.com. Also, Duncan, the President Steve's Show runs on Duncan. And by Acme Markets, fresh foods, local flavors. Tomorrow is Friday, no sad bro, and a Super Bowl parade. Yay!

of which all of the people in this room will be broadcasting live from. So we're very excited about that. And we hope we will either see you or you will hear us. We're looking forward to the day tomorrow. That's it. We're done. Rage on. Have yourself a great day. And we'll see you tomorrow, friend. Bye-bye. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Hey, everybody. It's good to have you on the map.
