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. Hey! Hey!

Yeah, we're running a little bit late. We had a little technical snafu. Maybe we'll dive into that later on. But whatever, man. Welcome to Tuesday morning. And let's get going for today. It's going to be a little breezier, a little bit cooler, but lots of sunshine. Highs going to be in the mid-50s. And we have basically the same thing tomorrow. Thursday, we shoot back up to 76 degrees. The high cloudy skies. And then Friday, 65. We get in the weekend. It's going to be cooler with some rain. So heads up on that. Hello.

Preston and Steve's News Update with Kathy Romano. All right, today's Thursday, it's April 1st. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect accused of using a hammer to steal $25,000 from a Center City restaurant.

Police say the suspect broke into the Tradesman BBQ restaurant in 1300 block of Chestnut Street and used a hammer to break into the safe. The theft happened at 7.40 in the morning on March 13th, but police just released images of the suspect on Monday. After taking the cash, investigators say the suspect was tracked by surveillance to the area of 11th and Dolphin Streets.

And they're asking anyone who has information to call police 215-686-TIPS. I'm assuming this is a smaller safe, right? If you use a hammer to get through it? I guess so. I'm not sure. I just saw the pictures of the guy. I didn't really see any pictures of the safe or anything like that. I think your better safes are immune to hammers. So they used a hammer to beat the safe open. Wow, yeah, that is a cheap idea. Yeah.

20 people are facing charges in connection with disturbing allegations of child abuse inside a Delaware County community school. Chester Township Police were notified on January 14th of this year of a suspected child abuse case at Chester Community Charter School in the 2700 block of Bethel Road.

During the investigation, police learned that on January 9th, the parent of a seven-year-old student contacted the school's director of special programs, Dennis Monzion, expressing concern regarding their child's safety and well-being at school, specifically in the positive support room on campus.

The parent allegedly told Manzion that the student was afraid to go to school and was put in, quote, holds. Manzion then relayed the concerns to the building principal. The next day, another seven-year-old student allegedly approached the school with similar concerns. Winchester Township officers reviewed surveillance video taken inside several classrooms, including the positive support room. They reportedly counted around 100 cases of abuse against 26 kids as young as five years old.

Two of the accused, Raymond Harris and Cabri Daniels, improperly restrained children, according to the affidavit. They have been suspended pending the investigation. Harris and Daniels are positive support facilitators who work with emotionally supportive K-5, the affidavit says.

Man.

However, police say none were up to date on their training. Investigators say nine staff members abused the kids, 11 others observed the abuse but did not report it, which is required by law. On Monday, the Chester Community Charter School posted a letter on its website saying they are cooperating, but there are questions about how this was able to happen. In court documents, investigators said the failure of mandated reporters, including teachers, aides, and other school staff to support these incidents to...

to report them to Childline show a systemic issue within the school. Most of the documented incidents were in November and December, but investigators are still reviewing surveillance and more charges and arrests could be coming. Terrible. Philadelphia police are investigating after a woman and a young girl reported being assaulted in Fishtown. On March 25th at 9.30 in the morning, a woman reported an unknown male pinched her buttocks as she bent over placing her child in the car in the 1500 block of Palmer Street. And then on

March 28th at 8 a.m., a 13-year-old girl was walking to school and reported an unknown male grabbed her in a bear hug from behind in the 1500 block of East Montgomery Avenue. Police say the girl screamed and then the suspect ran off. Police say it's possible the same man is behind both incidents. Victims described the suspect as a man in his 30s, about 5'6", with a beard. Anyone with any helpful information is asked to contact police by calling 215-686-TIPS or you can submit a tip to police anonymously.

In sports this morning. The Phillies came back to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-1 yesterday. They did it!

In the seventh inning, Edlundo Sosa hit a two-run double and Kyle Schwarber crushed a two-run home run to give the Phils a 4-1 lead. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Max Kepler and Nick Castellanos hit back-to-back home runs to extend the lead to 6-1. Jordan Romano pitched a scoreless ninth inning to help secure the win. The Phils are off today and resume the series against the Rockies tomorrow night. Zach Wheeler will get the start. The first pitch is scheduled for 6-45. The Flyers won their third game in a row beating the Nashville Predators. They did it!

2-1 last night in South Philly. Jamie Drysdale scored the tie-breaking goal. Ivan Fedotov stopped 28 shots and the Flyers recorded their third straight win under interim coach Brad Shaw. Ryan Poehling also scored and Travis Konechny and Matt Van Uchkov had two assists to help the Flyers remain perfect in the three games since Shaw replaced John Tortorella.

The Flyers have only six games left in the regular season and are off until Saturday when they'll travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. The puck will drop at 7 o'clock. The Sixers, who have lost eight games in a row, are in New York tonight and will play the Knicks. Tip-off at Madison Square Garden is at 7.30.

The Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs. And that's what I have for you this morning. All right. Thank you very much, Kathy. So we are running late already or over, however you want to quantify that. We had a little technical issue.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Hi, thanks, guys. So we got a stupid question. We're going to give away a four-pack of tickets as MMR rocks the Monster Energy Supercross Saturday, April 12th, Lincoln Financial Field. You need to text the word ZOOM to our new phone number 610-660-9333 if you know the answer to this. And I came up with this yesterday. How many times...

Didn't Vincent LaGuardia Gambini take the bar exam? All right. Let's see if you know. Text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333. How many times did Vincent LaGuardia Gambini take the bar exam? We'll go through some birthdays today on the first day of April, a Tuesday. I know I said Thursday earlier this morning. Some people called me out on that.

So, actress Mackenzie Davis, she's been here in our studio. She and Sebastian Stan came by to promote The Martian. Yes. She was great. I like her. She's been in some really good stuff. She's in one of the greatest Black Mirror episodes ever called San Junipero. In fact, it was nominated for an Emmy, I think. It was. So, you watched the trailer this morning? I did, yes. Oh, does it look good? Oh, does it look good? Yeah. Because you know what? Between the last seasons and the initial seasons...

A lot of what was predicted has come true. This is true. So I got a little bit more on that coming up in a bit. But she's great. She turns 38 years old today. We have a comedic actor, Taron Killam. Yes. He's 43. Not just comedic. He was in 12 Years a Slave as well. And his wife is in the Marvel Universe. Cobie Smulders. Cobie Smulders. That is correct. Yeah. So he's 43 years old today.

Actress Ally McGraw, Steve, from Love Story. Yeah. And The Getaway and the classic Convoy. Convoy with Chris Christopherson. Yeah. You know what? People talked about how beautiful she was or is.

I think she's an attractive woman. Yeah, but more average than stunning, right? It's almost like the Julia Roberts effect. She's 86 years old today. Then the beautiful, red-headed Annette O'Toole turned 73 today. Love her. She was in the original It, the miniseries,

Smallville, 48 hours. Superman 3. Yep. So she turns... Oh, that's it. Okay. Wow, 73 today. She played Lana? Lana Lang. Okay. Then we have John Gosselin. It was Kate's birthday. Yes. Just a couple weeks ago. Oh, it must have been fun at the house when they were together. Kate.

All the wonderful presents exchanged. She turns, or he turns, 48 years old today. My buddy from college actually went to high school with him. He used to drive him to school all the time. He said he was a great guy. So are you team John or team... You're team John. I'm team John. I think I'm team John as well. Yeah, you never liked Kate from the beginning. No, I didn't like the way she treated him. She was...

She was rude. She was very, very rude. Especially when they would do the testimonials, right, where they would sit side by side. I'm like, you are such an a-hole to him. Like, I just didn't get it. You know what? We can talk about it later. The subject I might bring up later. Okay. She's, or he is 48. On the last birthday I saw is Director Barry Sonnenfeld. Men in Black movies, Adam's Family Values, and he turns 72.

years old today. All right, we will see if we can get a winner here. And we asked the question, how many times did Vincent LaGuardia Gambini take the bar exam? We got David checking in via Zoom this morning. Yo, Dave, how you doing, man? Oh, I can barely hear you. Can you hear me all right, bud? Yeah. All right, there we go. All right, David, how many times did Vincent LaGuardia Gambini take the bar exam? Eight. No. Oh!

That is incorrect. Oh, man. As far as I know, it's incorrect. Your answer is always the de facto answer. Your answer is always correct. All right. We're going to now go to Jennifer. Maybe Jennifer knows. Hi there, Jennifer. Good morning. How are you? Good morning to see you, Jennifer. We're wonderful. And we quite literally can see you. So do you know how many times you took the bar exam?

six times as a child. That's in the jail cell, is it not? Yeah. That whole exchange, he is, he's so good. Yeah. All of his interactions, especially when he shows up with that bizarre suit that he got just to accommodate the judge's request. It's, it's,

movie that when it's on i'm in i'll go all the performances are great it's just excellent all right so jennifer hang on the line uh we're gonna set you up with some tickets to the monster energy supercross saturday april 12th and that's at the link and tickets are on sale now you can visit excuse me supercrosslive.com for all of the details uh so i got some interesting stories to pass along to you hey we'll start with some good news dave collier

has been given a positive, or he has given a positive update on his cancer battle. I was speaking with parade and the full house actor revealed that he is, uh, been going through the ringer, but things are looking up and it revealed last year he was diagnosed with a stage three non Hodgkin lens lymphoma. And since he's gone through multiple rounds of chemo, uh, he shared that his symptoms got worse over each round, but Kouye completed his sixth round last month, halfway through his treatments. His doctor shared that, uh,

there was an absence of cancer cells. Which is wonderful. I saw an extended interview with him last night. I think it was on Extra. And, you know, he's been through the ring. He said the sixth round really, really knocked him on his ass. Apparently, it's the most powerful. But he says that every day, John Stamos calls him and says, and the first thing he says is, are you still alive? Bah!

I love that. It's their thing. That's great. Because the gallows humor is what's getting them through. He said, they carpet bombed me for three more treatments after that, and they're not expecting to see anything. They said, I am in a position where I can inspire others. Positivity, though...

can take you a long way. And a rep also confirmed to People Magazine that the actor is indeed cancer-free. So that's great news. That's wonderful. Now, hopefully, something can happen in the world of James Van Der Beek, who's also going through issues. Yeah. All right, so Rain Disick has shut down rumors that he is Justin Bieber's son.

During an Instagram live session with Alabama Barker's boyfriend, Scooter Jackson. What the hell? I know. These are luminaries you're all mentioning here. This clears up two things. One, that he's not related to Justin Bieber. And two, that there is in fact a rain disick. Rain disick. R-E-I-G-N. Okay.

And Rain is the one that's putting, like saying no to this? Yes. How old is Rain? Rain is 10. Okay. So when a commenter made the claim, the 10-year-old looked shocked and responded with disbelief. He said Justin must have been around 16 years old when he was born for starters, although Bieber was actually 19 years old at the time. Also, did you see pictures? No. I mean, it does kind of look like it could be his kid.

Oh, like he might be Scott Disick's kid? A little bit. Jesus Christ, Scott Disick is such a weasel. I would be surprised if in his house he didn't have a large water bottle stuck to the wall with a nozzle out of it. So he could just drink right out of it? No, I think he looks like Bieber. Oh, you think he looks like Bieber? Well, he is.

Or no, no, he's not Bieber. See, I'm even, I am getting lost in this story. I hate him all. Except the kid. The kid didn't do anything. I think he looks more like Bieber than Disick. So Rain had another point in his pocket telling everyone his mom would never do anything like that. The whole thing apparently popped up.

From online commenters zeroing in on his mom, Kourtney Kardashian and Bieber's rumored 2015 fling after she split from Scott Disick. Disick is what would happen if your butthole became self-aware.

What? Look at that face. You just want to punch him. They both denied there was anything romantic going on back in the day, and fans have noted that Rain is basically a carbon copy of his dad, Scott, though, Kathy. So that's what some people are saying. Bieber is apparently... I don't know if we want to go on with this, but he is in a world of mental hurt. He's suffered with mental issues for a long time, and the big...

the conjecture that's going on now is that it has something to do with his time with Diddy. Yeah. Yeah. So, well, we'll follow it. We'll be on it. That's the case. Like white on rice. That's right. The Kim Delaney incident that we talked about was reportedly an

epic argument that escalated to physicality and dual arrest. Now, we told you yesterday, Kim Delaney and her husband, James Morgan, have been arrested on charges stemming from a physical confrontation. The couple have been fighting for two days straight when things went from bad to jail. And according to TMZ, when police arrived, James spoke with deputies and gave them video seeming to show Kim trying to hit him with her car. Oh,

So that takes it up another level. It does. Maybe it's the romantic in me, but there's something sweet about couples getting arrested together. You know? Yeah.

You'll always have those mug shots to share. What were we doing? Wow. Look at that food. And this has been a two-day argument that has been going on. Man, oh, man, oh, man. Do you have couples in your lives that are perpetually fighting? Not anymore, but I have had that. So I was reading about these two, and apparently the times where there was peace and quiet was the anomaly. And they're constantly fighting and fighting in public.

Yeah, I had friends, a couple who would fight all the time. Like it just was like part of the day. And like we were, you know, we were younger at the time. So we were around them a lot. And it was always like, okay, well, yeah, it's six o'clock. So yeah, time for fighting. God, aren't you glad? I have to believe now it's not true for everybody, but

As I age, I think I get a little bit wiser and a little bit more tolerant and a little bit more understanding about discussion and talking about things and getting it out there. And even though it's difficult at first, it's the better thing to do. But some people just...

They don't know how to do it. They need serious help to sit down and stay calm. They need a mediator. They can't see a bigger picture. I still have my things that I'm like, okay, that's a bridge too far. But for the most part, hopefully you do embrace the notion of, well, you pick your battles. And if that battle involves you driving over your loved one, that's one that you lost. You have lost that battle.

So cops interviewed both of them and then they slapped him in cuffs and took him off. She's such an attractive looks together woman but this is an ongoing series of issues. Alright, so Tom

Brady. Is he off the market again? That's a question. Pics of the NFL legend at David Beckham's birthday party chatting up a mystery woman have the rumor mill in second gear. But before things get out of hand, the mystery woman has a name and a husband who was there as well. That's a mystery. Conversational partner was the wife of former NHL great Ty

Ty Domi. Who was standing nearby, but apparently not close enough to help shoot down the budding rumors. So Ty Domi and Nelby Tyty came into the NFL at the same time. They did. Now, Ty Domi, I actually was standing next to him one time at a Flyers game. And so, Steve, he was a fighter big time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's...

Is he? He's the guy who took out Eric Lindros, is he not? Dude, he is a... I stood next to him and I'm like, whoa. I'm like, this is the tough guy? Yeah. Sometimes size doesn't matter. Sometimes it's the fight. Big Rorschach, right? Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm fairly certain that he's the one who took out Eric Lindros. I think you're right. He was out cold before he even hit the ice. I can't believe he's the guy who took out Eric Lindros. But Ty and Tom... I never thought Eric Lindros would be calling my phone. Phone. Phone.

Ty and Tom are good longtime friends. Ty and Tom. Ty and Tom. So apparently it's not a big deal. All right, this is a weird little story. Steve sent me this yesterday. Jessica Simpson shared the shocking revelation that she drinks snake sperm to help improve her vocal cords. What?

Yeah, the TV personality, 44 years old now, whose fans think she is plotting a revenge reality show on her ex, Eric Johnson, got candid about the special Chinese herb cocktail in an Instagram video uploaded on Saturday. She admitted that the difficulty is finding the penis on the snake. It comes shortly after the star dropped her latest EP, which is titled Nashville Canyon Part One.

Last week. And during the short reel. Simpson could be seen opening the lid to a small bottle. And then taking a swig. As she talked about how the drink was recommended to her. By her vocal coach.

And Jessica explained that she discovered the snake sperm, that snake sperm was inside the Chinese cocktail after looking up the ingredients on Google. She received shocked reactions while telling some pals of the drink as she spent time at a recording studio and further described the taste as honey. This makes sense because most of the pictures I've seen of her recently...

Looks like the face of someone who just found out they were drinking snake sperm. She said, so if you want a good vocal, you got to drink some snake sperm.

In one of the song titles titled Leave, the star seemingly hinted that her ex, Eric Johnson, may have cheated on her following their heartbreaking split. Some of the lyrics included, what we have is magic. Now you've made it tragic, giving her what you gave to me. Now the well that you drank from me, you drank from is empty. And then she says, your weakness made me lonely, unholy matrimony.

Did you do to her what you did to me? Oh, my God. Was she on her knees? She's everything but me.

In January, she announced the split from Johnson in a statement to People and shared that Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, focusing on what's best for them. We're grateful for all the love and support, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So that's, yeah. So they're wondering if these... I hope she's finding peace. She can sit in the hot tub with a big glass of snake sperm and just wash away. By the way, just a quick question. Where exactly are the...

How do the genitals reveal themselves on a snake? I don't know. Where do they come from? Is there some sort of flap? I assume there has to be some sort of crease or something there, right? Something like that, right? It doesn't hang out. Right. I never see. I never see. Look at the junk on that snake. I haven't watched snake porn in a long time. Yeah. Yeah. You got to go back and dive back into that. Let me see here. How about this one? Coyote versus acme.

has officially been saved. The movie, which mixed animation and live action, was shelved by Warner Brothers. We've talked about this before. But, despite seemingly being complete and getting good reviews in test screenings, they decided to shelve it. Led to an outcry from movie fans as well as some of the stars in the movie. Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor stars...

in Coyote vs. Acme and it centers on Wile E. Coyote's legal battle with the infamous Acme Corporation whose products fail him time and again as he pursues the roadrunner. We had an audio of Will Forte talking about how borderline furious that they'd worked on this thing and they really felt confident and ready to release it and it was going to be one of these insurance things for the movie company. So, Ketchup Entertainment.

bought the worldwide rights from Warner Brothers and a deal thought to be worth around $50 million and films expected to hit theaters next year. So it's looking more and more likely. Maybe we can get him on. That'd be cool.

Michael Mann has given a positive update about the sequel to Heat. The director says the script for Heat 2 has officially been handed to Warner Brothers. And speaking with Vulture, he said that just finished the screenplay, handed in the first draft. Any more than that I can't talk about, but it is an exciting project. So is it officially Heaterer? Yeah. Heaterer.

The original Heat came out in 1995. Al Pacino, Robert De Niro. They were following a group of professional thieves as they start to feel the heat from the police after a heist goes wrong. Val Kilmer, John Voight, Danny Trejo, and more also starred in the original movie. Are you a fan of the original? Never saw it. Oh, never saw it. I'm just wondering how there will be a sequel.

Yeah, a lot goes down in the movie. The movie is terrific. It has complete Michael Mann touches all over it. And of course, one of the most iconic gun battles in movie history. The shootout is insane. It's insane. Just like lead flying everywhere. Visceral. Yes. And an active street. Exactly. The sound design and everything. But it happened after...

If you remember, there was a guy a few years prior to the release of the movie, Preston, who had basically gotten all body armored up, a couple of these guys. And it was sort of based on that. In L.A., that one? Yeah. And they were... This is basically what it's a riff on, but it's an amazing fight. Wow. Let's see. Warner Brothers is teaming up with the venue operator, Cosm, to bring...

to bring movies to a whole new level with, quote, shared reality screenings. Kicking things off is The Matrix, set to hit Cosm's massive 87-foot LED dome on June 6th, with pre-sales opening in mid-April. With The Matrix, this is according to Cosm CEO Jeb Terry. He said, with The Matrix, we're expanding into cinema, transporting fans into the scenes of their favorite films. The company, which is already locations in Los Angeles and Dallas, is planning expansions in Atlanta, Texas,

And beyond. So I'm curious if this is the one where they interact live action with film. Have you seen that type of thing? I've heard that. Now, I haven't heard of them doing that with movies. No. But I've seen the scenes and it looks incredible. It does look amazing. I don't know if this is the same thing or not. We'd have to look up Cosm. C-O-S-M is how that's spelled. This kind of sounds like an...

ultra, almost like a sphere kind of thing. Almost. I mean, they used to, like at the Franklin Institute, the IMAX screen there was one of those that was a dome type that went up behind you. Right. And that kind of sounds maybe like that's what this is, but that technology's been around for a long time, so... They have to employ gimmicks. I mean, you know, the box office takes have been down. Of course, releasing movies people want to see would help, but the...

They're even going back to the 3D releases as well. Ticket pricing will vary, but past events range from $30 for NBA games to $50 for immersive films. So maybe it is just that big visual surround type of viewing. They should do bottomless popcorn. Yeah, that'll bring them around. There you go.

Alright, so we mentioned this earlier. We're less than two weeks away from the premiere of season seven of Black Mirror. Netflix just released another trailer. It offers glimpses of all six episodes of the new season along with episode names. So they are as follows. Common People, Bet

Noir, Hotel Revere, Plaything, Eulogy, USS Callister Into Infinity are the six. And the entire season drops on April 10th. And you'll recognize some nods to past episodes as well in the trailer. It looks really cool. It's funny because when, you know...

Those episodes from this series will live with you after and they will mind F you. It's really taken the handoff from the Twilight Zone. I thought it's done a good job. What the Twilight Zone used to be in thought provoking and trippy and...

stick with you for a while. Took a long time before anybody came along and did that right again. I'm a fan of Black Mirror. There were a couple seasons that were not so great, but it's still really good stuff. This is going to be a tough question to ask, but I'll ask it. What episode got to you the most? Well, I know we both share Metalhead. Metalhead. But there's another one called White Bear that I really liked a lot. I remember that one.

There's a girl who is running from an angry mob and she doesn't know why. She wakes up and all these people are coming after her. It turns out that she's a criminal and it's an interactive... Who was she? Who was that actress? I don't know. I'd have to go back because some of these people are like emerging actors. Are now stars. Like Casey had pointed out, you'd see somebody in that first season and go, oh my God, that's so-and-so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they do a good job of harboring talent for that.

A couple other quick things. Jason Momoa's Chief of War is officially coming to Apple TV+. That'll be August 1st. And the... It says here, Hawaiian history has...

has never been told like this. He shared it on social media. He said the drama series will premiere with two episodes to start and then new episodes weekly through September 19th. The series is based on true events following the warrior Kaiana, played by Momoa, as he tries to unify the islands before Western colonization in the late 18th century. I think this sounds...

All that Hawaiian lore and all that stuff is fascinating. And if they do this right, I think it'd be pretty cool. The series will also star Lucianne Buchanan and Tamura Morrison and more. This is Momoa's second series for Apple TV Plus following his post-apocalyptic series, Sea. I didn't like that show. Ram for three seasons. I didn't see any of it. I watched a bit of it and I'm like, you're doing all this and you can't see? I mean, listen, I understand you can do quite a lot. Maybe like Daredevil. I mean, I'm a huge fan of that. He does all these things, but...

At a certain point, it's like, I'm sorry, this invading army is going to kick your ass. All right. Fans of the satisfyingly gross Dr. Pimple Popper. Oh, God, I can't do it. Dude, I love that show. Yeah, I cannot. I cannot. No. I really find it compelling. And there's a British version of it.

a British doctor dermatologist. I dig it. Wait, so my mom called me one time. This was a couple of years ago and my cousin loves it and will watch it on videos over and over again. My mom was like, do you know what cousin so-and-so is doing? And I was like, I don't know what. And she's like, she watches these videos. And I was like,

I mean, okay. I was like, I don't know how you want me to respond to this. I think it's gross and I'm not going to watch it, but I don't think there's something wrong with her. I'm going to guess because I'm fine with it. I think there's something linear to your ASMR that goes along with watching a

Carbuncle or a pimple. So the reason I think that I like it is because I have had relief from a pressure built up from whatever it may be, a boil, a zit, or whatever. And when that releases, it is satisfying. That's what I was going to say. It's satisfying in some way. Do you know what? If you've ever had... I've had one on my big toe, on the toenail, and it was...

Not to get disgusting, but when I finally tapped it off, it was like a yogurt machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I could literally feel the pressure diminishing. Yes. And that was wonderful. And it's comfort. Yeah. Yeah, so I think that's why I like that. Although, man, Jesus, the most pain I've told you I've ever felt in my life was the time I had my pyelonidal cyst ruptured.

lanced. That's on your tailbone, folks. I've never felt pain like that in my life. Was that satisfying? No, that was not. And so that just hurt a lot.

That's why the pilonidal cystinator was not a popular show. But like big zits or boils. I used to get these boils on my inner thigh, Kathy. They were really painful. They'd hurt. They hurt. Yeah, and then every now and then one would go. So anyway, enjoy your breakfast. Dr. Sandra Lee. Seriously, it's 7 a.m.

Is returning with a brand new Lifetime TV show. So it's very popular. It's called Dr. Pimple Popper Breaking Out. And we'll document life in her California clinic where she is now mentoring a new staff of dermatologists. More zits, more cysts, more nastiness will ensue as Dr. Lee trains a new wave of dermatologists. Do you ever watch Botched? No. So Botched are the two top cosmetic surgeons in LA. And people will come in with F.

up work really and in a bizarre way and i i don't know again the way pimple popper appeals um to see work corrected and then get back to sort of i mean he'd do things like where people have had so much rhinoplasty that they're no like a michael jackson thing wow and they'll help re reconstitute it right and it it is fulfilling okay yeah and 95 of the time the people are

Oh, my God. I mean, there isn't a real, you know, with body dysmorphia, people get carried away. Or there's just things that they had and they had an accident or they had a, you know, a breast injury or whatever. It's pretty amazing. Right. I'm actually going to write those down because I'm always looking for exercise shows. And I think watching Dr. Temple Popper would be satisfying while I'm sweating. And you have the new one. Yeah. And Botch. And Botch, yeah. All right. So I think we're ready to play some clips now.

Let's see, the Wheel of Time follows characters who experience a world-spanning journey within a fantastical setting. And in this clip, Rosamund Pike explains where the third season opens. It's the way the world has opened up over our three seasons, the different cultures that Robert Jordan has written about, the way that we're starting to learn that this world that has seemed historical is actually in the future. And the Wheel of Time takes place after the breaking of our world.

Oh, shut up, woman. That's interesting. Yeah, it is kind of cool. I gave that a watch. It wasn't for me. Same with me. I know that it's beloved. It's a well-known book series. Not when there's pimples to pop. But that's an interesting concept that that's actually futuristic and that the world had, to quote Stephen King, the world had moved on. Interesting. You know, it hearkened to me that whole conceit in this Lost series when they found that

time-traveling device that they never really... No. They didn't flesh it out. All right, so the Wheel of Time is streaming on Prime Video. Here's our next clip. Elizabeth Stratford in the Western Series 1923 is a feisty young woman...

who was set to marry into the notable Dutton family. And here, Michelle Randolph talks about the continuation of her character's love story with Jack Dutton. They're growing their, again, reality setting in that this is the life they chose to live.

live together, to live in Montana on the ranch, to maintain the Dutton name. And so I just think that they are really growing up quickly. Oh, shut up, woman. 1923 is streaming on Paramount+. Is she good in the show? Yeah, she's the daughter in land, a man as well. Are you watching 1923? No, I watch 1883. I gotta watch the first...

Season of 1923. It's really good. I'm watching it, and I watched this last season, so I was interested in what she had to say. I won't give anything away, but yeah, she's great and like completely different characters. Okay. Obviously. She says Montana, though. Why did I think it was set in Wyoming? I mean...

They're right next to each other. Where was Yellowstone? Where's the Dutton Ranch? You could literally have two characters having a talk and one be in one state and one in the other. Yellowstone the park is in Montana and Wyoming as well. They are in Montana because there's a character who's

throughout the entire series trying to get to montana to the ranch so by the way what's the significance of the of the number three in the in the dates there is there any you know 1983 1923 is there anything or no it's a magic number oh you know what damn it steve i forgot about that three oh it's magic number yellowstone yes it is all right rb montana and then also i was wrong about ty domey it was uh

They say Scott Stevens is the one who laid that hit on... If we're going way back to Eric Lindros. Okay. All right. Anyhow, we are wrapping up this particular segment and moving on because we have stuff to get to today. In fact, a little less than an hour from now, we have an important announcement.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Kathy. A lot of great text with that song, and I love this one. It says, in quotations, would it kill you to play a little fog hat every once in a while? So, happy that we made you satisfied. It got you satisfied this morning. And then this other, let me double back to something we were talking about earlier about this entertainment thing.

thing called Cosm and I got a text from somebody that says Cosm is an entertainment venue company showing content on a large dome and it says fun fact you had mentioned the Franklin Institute IMAX dome Cosm bought the company that built that which is called Spitz and they're in Chad's Ford and it says source I am an employee

Oh, that's very close. We're looking at, I guess, maybe their promotional reel of what they do. There's a venue in Texas, maybe in Dallas somewhere, that I've seen people watching live sporting events.

And it looks like they are inside the stadium. Yeah, Casey, one of the earlier clips you may not have looked up, but that's what the feeling was. In fact, they even had like a faux overhang so it looked like you were in a suite at the stadium. That's pretty cool. Okay, I was curious what that was all about. Speaking of entertainment and sporting events and all that, yesterday was the Phil's home opener. Yes. You got a winner. Yes. Phil's beat the Rockies. Yep, the Rockies. We didn't play very good. I don't know. It doesn't feel right.

My arms are cold and warm up and down. Now that I hear it, my impression's not that good. So the Rockies lost and the Phils won, which is great. But Marissa had an interesting observation, which might lead to a little chat about that. You went with your dad. You guys have been going for years and years. Marissa, you haven't missed opening day in ages, right? Yeah, since high school. So we've been going over 20 years. Cool tradition. Thank you.

you yeah and um i did notice yesterday that there were a lot of kids yeah like like i think a lot of people are making this a tradition for family that's good um and it's very sweet it's nice it it makes but you want it to stop kind of

Kind of, Steve. You're kind of hitting me on the nail on the head. There was a point, like my friend had bought a brand new jacket and I see like all of this blue water ice behind us. And I was like, grabbed her jacket. I was like, there's going to be blue water ice all over yourself because all of their food had like leaked into our space. My dad's jacket was soaked in.

Oh, man. It was, yeah, it was like. So this is all from the kids? It was chaos. And the kids don't care. Listen, I mean, some, when they're old enough, like maybe they want a ball, but this is, they want ice cream and a baseball hat. That's part of going to the game. Yeah, they want crab fries and funnel cake. And that's it. Like, that's what they're there for. Did I send you guys the photo of the remnants of like the food under their? No. I'm kind of

doing the math and I'm like, all right, if each one of these things is $10 to $15, there was $100 of food just left on the ground. Like six ices, pretzels, popcorn. And I'm turning around and these kids are like, they were so young that they all had headphones on. Okay. Oh, for noise mitigation? Yes, for noise mitigation. And they were having the time of their life. And more than that, the parents and it looked like the grandparents were enjoying taking the kids there.

But the seats we were sitting in were not inexpensive. Like they weren't like $25 seats. And I was, again, doing the math. And these kids will have no idea that they were there and that their family spent all of this money. Like how would you put that? What age range would you put them in? Oh, God, I'm really bad at this. Three, four? Were they older or younger than your nephew? Younger. And how old's your nephew? Fuck.

Five? Three or four? You don't know. Oh, Jesus. He's really into the kids. But I think as a parent, that's what you're in for. That's what you know. You know that you're going to get the water ice and they're going to take three bites. You're going to spend $15 and they're not going to eat it. You're going to get the pretzel. They're going to take a few bites and it's going to end up on the floor. As a parent going and spending that money, you already know that. But I think more than that,

You're talking about where the seats were. Yes, because when you are two and under, you can come in for free. But above that, they have to have their own seat. Okay, so they might have been three, four years old. Yep, exactly. And there were tickets purchased for them. Wow. So, I mean, yes, you can... Now, here's the deal. The kids may remember the experience of getting the ice cream and the baseball and the batting helmet and that type of thing and being with their friends and playing and so on.

but they don't need $500 seats to be close enough to see the game because they're never going to remember that part of the problem. And to be honest, the parents don't need them either because the parents miss most of the game. Because they're watching the kids. At some point I hear the mom go, oh, are you tired? Do you want me to rub your belly? Right. Was she talking to you? Oh, hi. Can I pop back there? So Marissa posed the question to us, and this is why we brought this up, is what is the...

What is something that you took your kids that was too early for them to really grasp the gravity of what was going on and you paid a ridiculous amount of money for it? So I want to hear this and then I have a question to sort of frame it from my perspective to see what you guys say because you all have kids, but go ahead. Well, so, okay, so overall...

I am the parent who will do that. So I completely disagree with Marissa. I will spend the money. I will sit in the good seats. Whatever is convenient. When you have a kid that young, I would spend more money to sit in a convenient seat so that the kid can see. If they're in seats where you're probably just watching the Jumbotron, you're watching the screen and the kid's not going to be engaged.

it's not going to be as pleasant of an experience. So when you're closer, you will get that. And also, part of it for me is to see the look on their face. Now, there are instances where I paid money for a ton of different things. And the look on his face that he doesn't remember today, Jace doesn't remember seeing. Oh man, I always forget. Who are the white guys from Star Wars? Oh, the Stormtroopers. He doesn't remember.

seeing the stormtroopers, but I paid for the experience for him to see that. And when at that time, when he was a baby and he saw them and thought they were real, it was the most incredible feeling for him and for me watching him enjoy that. So we had Parker was two years old. He was our only child at the time. He was under two actually, because Carter hadn't come along yet. Rochelle was pregnant with him.

We went to Disney. Oh, yeah. And dude, he doesn't remember a lick of that. Like none of it. None of it. And probably enjoyed himself. I don't know. But he was borderline baby. I bet you if you asked Rochelle about it, she could give you defining moments when they were there and what he enjoyed and how he reacted to certain things. I guarantee it. Yeah, big deal. I'm just saying. But what I'm saying is...

What he's saying is part of it is for the parent and seeing the child enjoy it even if the child is not going to remember it. You're saying really the impetus is more for the parent to generate experiences with the kid. How much to bring? A lot. Barely two, Parker. A lot of money. It's thousands of dollars. And, Kath, I understand what you're saying. And I don't think any of us really disagree with you on that. But in the long run, when you go...

10 years in the future, go, was it really worth the $5,000 we dropped? Case, I'm always thinking of the footage you just see all over social media of the dad who will put his kid in a little tub, get in front of the large screen TV, do the point of view roller coaster line. And then give the kids some ice cream. I mean, you know, I do think sometimes people will follow themselves and spend money.

Big money for things that won't be remembered. But the way you're framing it as it's really for the parents. Yeah, we have the pictures. We got the video. Yeah. Here's a couple of texts says my kids are five and two and we've taken them to the Phillies every year and I never see much of the game. Another one says we as parents like enough to go to Disney two summers in a row. My daughter was five and six. She's 22 now. And she's going to go to Disney.

and doesn't remember a goddamn thing. But, Kathy, a lot of people are agreeing with you. There are some texts coming in saying, for once, I agree with Kathy. Here's something funny. And I found this out a few years ago. My cousin and his kids are all in their 20s, 30s now. He's like...

My kids must have thought that they've been to Disney World a dozen times because they were so little and he would take them to Dutch Wonderland and he just said we're going to Disney World. Are you serious? And did they buy it? They absolutely bought it. Dutch Wonderland would absolutely blow a kid away. And he brought them to Dutch Wonderland and he's like, we're going to Disney World. Mickey's dressed like a Mennonite. Why did I never think of that? Yeah.

That's a brilliant idea. That's really funny. My kids and they were so spoiled, they've been to Disney World 12 times. You could go to Dorney and tell them it's Disney. Dorney would be a big sell. You're right in the ballpark. Dorney has... They don't have Disney characters, but they do have Snoopy and stuff. They got some characters. Yeah.

It's funny. Depending on the age, you could get away with doing some things like that. It's Snoopy. Look, it's Mickey Mouse. That's all you'd have to do. That's Pluto. You've only seen him on the TV. You've never seen him up close. He looks more like a dog. The camera puts weight on him. And shifts the species. The camera always shifts the species.

But you know what? With sporting events, I think that's big. And I'm surprised, Marcy, you feel this way because you have been going with your dad. And it's sort of becoming a tradition, or it is for tons of families, where you take your child to the game starting at that very young age and maybe into adulthood. And they might start to remember in their middle school, high school years, whatever it is. But the tradition is there. Now I remember. It was Dutch Wonderland. No, but you know what I mean?

say I've been taking you since you were two. Yeah. Right. By the way, you can chime in if you want to. Text word Zoom to 610-660-9333. Now, this is different, and I don't want to go down the path of, you know, sporting events are so expensive because we know that, but I did one year take the kids, speaking of the Rockies, they were playing the Rockies in the division series, and I took the family and...

And yeah, thanks, Rock. And bought, you know, tickets and then and parking and food and souvenirs. And I added it up. And it was it was over $500 a day for a baseball game. I couldn't.

Family funds for under $1,000. But the kids remember it. God. They don't remember it at all. They're not even fans. You guys raised a funny thing, though, which is the truth, which is really, at a certain point, a lot of the earlier things in your life, to me, that...

batting league helmet plastic cup with the ice cream in it was the greatest thing and then getting like a Mr. Met bobble head oh my god well the ice cream the helmet I mean I remember keeping those like I had those I held on to it oh I think it's my next tattoo by the way um

The little helmet with the ice cream in it. I'm glad you said that because it is literally the first thing I said was the excitement on the grandparents' face and the parents' face. It was everything. The kids couldn't care less. That was it. It was just the whole experience of opening day. There were a lot of children there. I think we are on the same plane that it is...

Good for everybody. It's just stupidly expensive. Yeah, you're just wondering if it takes and if there's a way to be a little bit more economical about it. I think Dutch Wonderland is a great option. Yeah, I want you guys to convince me that it's worth spending this money. Well, also, Kath, you took Jace to the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. And when it comes to things like that, Grand Canyon, national parks, the majesty of this great nation...

Sometimes it can be lost on them. They're too little to appreciate. Or you get them on the other end of the teenage years where they just don't even want to be with you. They just want to be with their friends and they're disinterested. Listen, I think there are events and trips and things like that that you have to wait. Jace hasn't been to Europe yet. That is something that I want to take him to. But yes, I want to wait.

to take him so that he appreciates it. And when we showed up to the Grand Canyon and he took the first look at it, he looked at me and he went, wow, this is incredible. And I said, that was all worth it. The wait was worth it. That's awesome. And I'm glad that you're here to experience it. Did he ask if they actually dug that up? No, he didn't. He knew. Let me ask you something. Is this where they farm the salad balls?

All right. By the way, and I like this topic of conversation as well, which is duping your kids into believing it was something else. Here's a couple of texts that are coming in. It says, oh, man, I'm having trouble with this new system text system here. Let me click on this and see if that works. No, it doesn't work. It says, I grew up in Maryland and all my friends went to the Ocean City Boardwalk for years.

My parents would take me to the Rehoboth boardwalk where the rides were cheaper and there were less crowds and they told me it was Ocean City. One year, we brought my cousin and he said, this isn't Ocean City.

Wait, this is eye-opening for me. My parents probably did this to me. Right? All right, here's another one. It says, hey, I grew up over in Pine Valley Country Club in the golf course in Clementon. So Clementon Park is right next to Pine Valley.

And it says, when we were little, my father used to take us to Clemenden Park and tell us that it was the west side of Disney World. Oh, my God. The west side of Disney World. Oh, I love it. Disney West. Disney West. Oh, that's so funny. All right. We are going to go to Tony, who's joining us via Zoom. Hey, Tony. Good morning, bud. Good morning, Ed. Good morning to see you, my friend. What's up?

So when my son was about seven, we decided to take a trip to San Diego and we timed it so that we could go to San Diego Comic Con for a day. Oh, nice. Star Wars day. Yeah. Well, my son is seven.

Huge crowds, lots of walking. I kind of dropped the ball on that one. As much as I wanted to be there, we had to leave a lot earlier than I would have liked because he just couldn't take it. And those tickets aren't cheap. I mean, it was just one day, but still, it was just – he would appreciate it much more now. Yeah, you're setting – I mean, so I think what happens is here is that people may not –

Think ahead of time about that, because then if you're going to an event that you actually and clearly you wanted to be there very much, you had to cut your enjoyment short because the kid wants to, you know, is just wants nothing to do with that. And Tony, you were probably you were in touch with the kid in you thinking this is going to be. I mean, it was like I said, Star Wars Day. We went to a breakfast at like seven in the morning and met some people and blah, blah, blah.

And, you know, so we hit the floor. We got a couple autographs, walked around. It's amazing. But again, you know, I could just see him flagging. Yeah. I'm done. Is this is he your only child? Yes. OK, so, yeah, after you have a couple and you make that first mistake, then it's like, oh, we're not doing that again. I know. I know what you mean. All right. Thank you, Tony. Appreciate you checking in, bud. Well, I think that's part of it, too. Like only having one for me, it's like, OK, well, I'm doing this. Got to do it all. I'm doing it.

I'm paying for it. I'm going to pay for the convenience. I'm going to, you know, and part of it is like you have to watch to make sure that they appreciate it and they're not spoiled, but I'm all in. All right. We got Mark up next joining us this morning. Hey, Mark. What's up, buddy? Hey, first time, long time. Welcome, sir. Happy to have you on Zoom. All right. So what do you want to tell us about? So I'm a, I'm an avid skier. I've been skiing my whole life and I wanted to get my firstborn started as soon as I could. And

I put her in ski school when she was two, which is astronomically expensive. It's like $300 a day. Oh, my God. And we put her in ski school, and my wife and I decided we were going to sneak over and kind of watch her. And she didn't even have skis on. Oh, my God. She's throwing snowballs at the teacher. Dude, that sounds like T-Ball to me right now. Yeah.

So, you know, $300 for a day and we go over and she's not even skiing. At the end of the day, we said, what was your favorite part? And she said, the hot dog at lunch. I'm probably going to save myself a lot of money. But that's something, it's funny because that is sort of the gist of this, Mark, is that the, you know, the cash outlay can be extensive and you think you're building memories and then you could have saved yourself by picking up a hot dog. Mm-hmm.

Exactly. I do like to show her the picture every year of her skiing it too. I didn't realize you could start going to ski school at the age of two. I mean, you just learned to walk. Thanks, Mark. Appreciate it, bud. Have a good day. It's basically daycare. No, it is. But it does remind me of T-Ball. And listen, you're supposed to try and get...

Your kid's involved as early as possible. But you sign your child up for T-ball. They're not into it. You know what I mean? And again, it just basically, for some, it turns into daycare. I remember this kid's hands were in his pockets. I'm like, bro, you got to get your hands out of your pockets. You got to protect yourself. Dude, his pockets were filled with goose feathers. And that's all he was doing. He was not playing T-ball. He was playing with goose feathers.

By the way, here's Casey going back to what you said earlier. This is my parents. She just takes the Dutch Wonderland and Lancaster and say that it was Disney World. And the first time we went to the real Disney World, I was like, wait, wait.

Why are we on an airplane? Casey, you talk about those moments going away. Doing these things and these activities and having to pay for them and all that. I took Jace last weekend to feed goats. Now my niece and nephew were there who are three. And of course they loved it. Jace was just staring at me and he's like,

they're dirty he's like i don't want to touch them and i don't want to feed them i was like well i'm glad i bought you a ticket yeah well you that's your you created that but you know that you this is basically he's a ventriloquist dummy at that point and i mean he's he's that's what you made him steve i made him he is absolutely me but my point is is like you know so when they are young enough to do these things i did them all because i knew this point was coming and now i'm like well i can't force them to go feed goats anymore yeah

Here's another text. It says, took my kids to Knoebels for two days. I told them that it was bigger than Disney. Now, listen, this is one that directly affects us. It says, took my kids, five and three, to the Cardboard Classic. We had to leave within an hour because they were cold. Oh, man. Yeah, that's a little young taking them out there. All right, up next, we have Carl. Carl, good to see you. Carl!

What's up, Carl?

Yeah, I took my kids to the Wings game. What a value. Yes. Actually. Yeah. And it really is. The surcharge for the tickets was actually more than the tickets. Well, I was going to say that earlier, though, that you can take them to minor league games and probably get the same experience. Absolutely. And Sixers games right now. And Sixers games. But the Wings game, they've got the music going the whole time. It's excitement. It's an arena event. They get to go see an arena event. I think that's just a great value. Yeah.

I wanted to kind of go on the opposite end of what you guys are talking about. That's perfect. Solid suggestion, Carl. I agree. All right. Thanks, Carl. Appreciate it, bud. Cool!

I wonder if you could just take them to the tailgating, you know, and just all that stuff that's going on outside of a sporting event. Well, a lot of times, you know, season ticket holders for the Eagles, I don't go to the preseason games. You just give those to families, you know, because Eagles games are expensive. Right. And the kids don't know that it's a preseason game. Right. They think they're going to an Eagles game, you know.

Wait, by the way, I've never been to Knoebels. I'm like, when he said that, I was like, wait a minute. I've never been. Jace has never experienced it. So I'm immediately looking it up. Oh, it's sprawling. Is he too old, Case? What, to go to Knoebels? Yeah, 13. No. They have like roller coasters and stuff there. Oh, all right. Is it out? It's all outdoors? Now, I've never been. Yeah, it's all outdoors. And you pay per...

ride, right? I don't know. I've never been. Alright, we'll have to be schooled on Knovels. It's been a long time since I've... I wonder if anyone's pulled the Sesame Place switcheroo for Disney World. I don't think you need to. Does that have its own weight? Yeah. Alright. I mean, just because...

The characters are all there. The Sesame's awesome. I would get the season pass with the added so we can see the characters before they did the parade and all the other kids were swarming the characters. I made sure that he got his one-on-one time with Big Bird. Kathy, we're watching video. This is Knoebels. They have big roller coasters and drop rides and all kinds of cool stuff. You're good to go there. Let's go next to...

to, and then we got to take a break here in just a second. We're going to go to Henry checking in via Zoom. Good morning, Henry. Rantlers. Rantlers. What's up, my man?

Not much, man. My father-in-law grew up poor, so he used to be pretty thrifty. So they would go to Lancaster and see the Amish and the horse and buggies and go to the Shady Maple buffet and everything. But it was too damn cheap to take my sister, I mean my wife and her sister, to Dutch Wonderland.

He would swing by and they would go to the front gate and he would let them look in and run up and watch all the other kids ride the rides and go to the gate and then they would leave. That's worse than just blowing it off. He would give them a little taste like this is what you could have if you're good. Maybe one day, but not today. That's terrible.

That's the worst thing you can do to a kid. They got to see the horse and bunnies and the buffet, but they never got to go into the... Henry, did he ever take them for real? Ever? No, he never did. No, I don't think he ever... To this day, we still give my wife and her sister crap about you guys never got...

All got to go to Disney. I did the Disney thing. I paid all the money, just like Casey was saying. I dumped out thousands. My kids did the Disney. I mean, my wife, we still tease her about one day we're going to take you to Dutch Wonderland. Oh, you have to. Yeah, you got to do it, Henry. Yeah, you should. What is Dutch Wonderland, Ron? It's pretty affordable, right? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, compare it to the big Disney and all of that. All right, Henry, thanks, brother. We appreciate it. Have an awesome day, man. That's hilarious. By the way, Kathy, a bunch of people are texting, and Knoebels, there's no admission. You just pay per ride. Oh.

Yeah, you probably got to pay for parking, I'm guessing. I would imagine. I don't really know. But interesting observation, Marissa. Thank you for that. You know, is it worth it if the kids are on the younger end, if they aren't going to get any long-lasting memories out of you spending a whole lot of money on the type of experience? Or is it worth it to see them having fun even though they won't remember it? You will and you'll enjoy that memory. You can see them having fun at a place you're passing off as the place you said you were taking them to. Totally. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, we are going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. We have some bizarre file stories that are on the way. We also have an announcement that the details I think are going to be important to you. So we'll get back in a moment with that. Stay with us. Looking for fun things to do this weekend?

WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Final. All right, let's begin in our favorite place, Florida. Another unique weapon has been unlocked in the Sunshine State. A Florida woman has been charged with felony battery for allegedly attacking a male acquaintance with a deadly weapon, a large conch shell with barnacles on it. Oh, conch.

By the way, do you guys say conch or conch? I say conch. I say conch. I say conch. I say conch. You say conch. Conch, conch. Conch, conch over here. Conch, conch. Conch, conch over there. They're conch, you're conch. So investigators charge that Nikki Quarterman was very intoxicated, which you got to do a verbal domestic related argument with the 63-year-old victim. It's conch. The pair had...

been in an on and off relationship for the past decade. And the police said after the argument, Quarterman took her clothes off and started to break everything. After the man got Quarterman to go outside, she Leslie grabbed a 10 to 12 inch dried conch shell and swung it at the victim multiple times. Well,

Those things could do some damage. Absolutely. By the way, don't they make soup out of conch? Out of the actual conch? Yeah. And you think soup and... And it's an aphrodisiac. Fritters, they fry them up and... Yeah, it's believed to be like an aphrodisiac. Quarterman then threw the conch shell at the victim... Conch! ...who suffered a laceration to his hand when he sought to block the incoming shell. It's conch, Carl. She then locked herself in the victim's garage. Carl!

But was taken into custody there after a brief struggle. After posting $15,000 bond, a quarter moment was released yesterday from the county jail. Judges ordered to have no contact with the victim. She has a rap sheet that includes multiple convictions for disorderly intoxication, marijuana possession, as well as convictions for battery, DUI.

Assault on a law enforcement officer and driving with a suspended or revoked license as well. She was actually arrested six months ago after causing a public disturbance following a verbal dispute with her sometimes beau. She allegedly exited the man's house topless and began banging on the front doors of nearby homes and screaming profanity. Do you think there's ever a time when a person like this wakes up the next day and goes, what did I do? What was I thinking? What was I thinking? Yeah.

All right, in Utah, maybe he knows this gal, a man is facing charges after he allegedly walked into a restaurant naked and armed with a gun. It's caught! Ralph Lauren.

Laurent. What? Ralph Lauren. The fashion business is on the downslinger. Was arrested on two counts of lewdness and disorderly conduct on Saturday. An officer was dispatched from report of a naked man inside a restaurant. And here, I love the description here. It says, one person told officers the man was flexing his muscles aggressively and following people. Look at this.

Another person said the man had a gun. Officers found the man identified as Laurent in the middle of the street, still naked. Sir, you're going to have to stop aggressively flexing your muscles. More than a dozen witnesses allegedly saw him in the restaurant and at a nearby park, including two children. The children and their father saw Laurent take off his clothes.

at the park near the restaurant that he entered, and he was transported to the Utah County Jail. So many people are so free with their nudity. I don't take my clothes off to go in the shower. Listen to this. A Tucson doctor convicted of animal cruelty for performing a botched surgery on a dog has been sentenced to six months of probation. Dr. Raquel Sepulveda, an obstetrician and gynecologist, said,

Was sentenced in February for felony animal cruelty and a misdemeanor of practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Several other felonies were dropped, though. Animal advocates were obviously displeased with the sentence. The criminal case started after a local vet raised concerns after treating a dog that had received a botched...

section. If you're a gynecologist, you could possibly make the leap to treating a beaver, but otherwise, I don't think a dog. Sepulveda was eventually arrested in January. A search warrant revealed that 14 dogs and 3 rabbits

were seized from her home as well. But this is a human doctor. Six gerbils, two cats, a hamster, and a rabbit. Taking a crack at animals. Yeah, I can do that. The physiology is a little different. Mid to long-haul flights can be an ideal way for one to catch up on some Zs, but as TikToker Danielle found out, this can come with some hair-related risks. She said...

The man that braided my hair while I was asleep on the plane, I need you to come forth immediately.

She said, let me get my emails prepared for you guys because we're going to get into some things real quick. She said she went on to explain that she took an early morning American Airlines flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles and insisted that she was asleep for the duration of it. She said, when I get on a plane, I don't sleep. I hibernate. As soon as the plane takes off, I'm knocked out. She then added that she was woken by a strange shuddering sound. However, the window shades of the person in front of her and the person behind her were both down. She was like, so I'm like, who's taking pictures?

I don't pay no mind to it because if you want to take pictures on a plane, that's none of my business. I'm just trying to get to my destination. She said it wasn't until after she was at her Airbnb later on, she discovered the braid in her hair.

Somebody had braided her hair mid-flight? That's when it dawned on her the person sitting behind her had braided her hair. This, Danielle said, left her deeply disturbed. She then urged the passenger to make themselves known. She said, I just needed to come forward and discuss why you thought it was okay to braid a woman's hair while she was asleep.

She said, don't touch people's heads or people while they sleep. It's weird and it's creepy. Don't touch people in general that you don't know. Could have been a kid. In a follow-up video, Danielle revealed that she hasn't yet heard from American Airlines or the perpetrator who she has dubbed the Braid Man.

bandit. Okay, so a couple things here. We have to assume that her hair was hanging over the back of the seat. Yeah, or through it. Right. So if it's in your area, you should be allowed to braid it or cut it off. You think so? I think you should have scissors and just trim along. Just because it's entered into your zone? Like when a tree branch comes over your yard. Right. You're allowed to cut it. You just cut it. Now yours. Yeah. I mean, I think it's kind of funny. There are worse things that have happened to people on planes. You mean like the guy who was jacking it for an hour? Yeah, you got

your hair braided. Relax. She's trying to find out. All right, and there you go. That's what I have in the bizarre file. Folks, we have a announcement to make. And this is pretty cool because the management at WMMR is acknowledging something significant with the Preston and Steve show. And we have a chance for you to win money on top of this. And that's the whole thing. So we are announcing, and I'll give you the full name of it and explain it all, the Preston and Steve 20 Money. Yeah!

Actually, I said that wrong. Chuck wanted me to say 20 money. 20 money. Instead of 20 money. 20 money. Because it rhymes. See? And WMMR is celebrating 20 years of the Preston and Steve show on WMMR. Can't you believe it? Wow. Who would have thunk it? Yep, that is correct. We were just, you know...

Performing on the sidewalks of Broadway. For 20 years we've been here at MMR. We've been a show for about 28 years. Yes. But we have been here at WMMR, our full-time home, for 20 years. And we have your shot to win $1,000 five times a day. So starting on Monday.

I think you may have heard this before. We'll announce a keyword at five times throughout the day. 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, 3 p.m., and 5 p.m. And you will have 25 minutes after the hour to enter it. And there are three ways to do it. Love this. Contest page, WMMR.com. Do the MMR app or you can text it to a special number we will have set up, which is 45911. And...

There are actually tickets to Dutch Wonderland, but you won't know. You won't know the difference, yeah. All right, so again, it starts on Monday, and we'll do it five times a day, 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, 3 p.m., 5 p.m. We'll give a keyword. We'll give you...

It says until 25 minutes. Oh, it used to be 15 minutes. We'll give you 25 minutes. I think that's because we don't have a phone system. Yeah, or maybe it's 25 minutes to celebrate our 20 years. It works either way.

So you can do it through the contest page, WMMR.com, through the MMR app, or you can text it to 45911. So that'll start on Monday. We will remind you of it.

WMMR.com. So it starts on Monday. We have a little sort of license plates that former PD Bill Weston gave to us when we came here in 2005. And yes, it's hard to believe that all that time has lapsed. Yeah, I believe it's... Is it dated May 5th? I think it is. May 16th. May 16th. So it's...

No, May 5th is when we moved into this studio. Yeah, it's Cinco de Mayo and the mariachi band. That's right. All right, so nonetheless, that starts on Monday, and we would love to give you some money, so make sure that you are joining us for that each and every day. We'll take a quick break, come back in a moment, and we'll spend some more time with you, so stay with us. We're celebrating 20 years of Preston and Steve on WMMR. Yeah, zooms!

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Kath. In a little while, we'll do some more giveaways with Hangry Bear Creamery out of Kennett Square. And not just ice cream. They have fantastic food. They got cocktails. They got the whole package.

You can go to hangrybeercreamery.com. And also, they have these sessions you can do creating ice cream. Again, these ice cream parties and stuff like that. It's awesome. Take it with you. It's really cool. So we thank Melinda for coming by and bringing by some breakfast for us this morning and some dessert, too. We'll give away some more gift cards throughout the morning.

And just hanging tight for that. I'll tell you how you can win. There was a story that I saw yesterday. I have a couple local stories. It's not really city beat, but I got a couple things that kind of tie together. They're quite city beat. Yeah. Scooby-Doo. But I don't know if you guys saw this or not, but in Montgomery Township,

there is a unique road design that has been implemented. It's on Gray's Lane. Actually, it's not too far from where I live. I just haven't been over to see this in person yet. And so it's the yellow lines...

but they are squiggly all up and down the road. Like they weave. Okay. And it's supposed to keep, they're trying to get people to slow down in the residential area. But Kathy, instead of using, you know, like speed bumps, they have painted these curvy lines. And the road is not curving. And the road is not curving. At least that's what it looks like from the pictures. I wouldn't mind getting some verification from people who have driven down this road and,

and what it's like. If you can contribute to our conversation, you can text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. I wouldn't mind to see if we get somebody on who's going to drive through there and take us... Since we have Zoom capabilities now, maybe we can take a look at what it's like being in your car driving through that area. But it looks...

It looks stupid. Well, okay, so I'm looking at a picture of it, and at least on this portion of the road, which is a small portion, looks about a block, there are the squiggly roads, but you can still drive straight. Like, it's not like you have to... Yeah, the road itself, not like Lombard Street in San Francisco. It's not curvy. Curving, right. Listen, before I got into radio, it was a city planner. Okay, you know what I'm talking about. So I would say this. After the initial...

oh, what is this? I'm going to slow down. Once you know what it is, old patterns will return. It's not like... If they had the lines animated so that they undulated as you were driving, perhaps. But once you get used to it, it's not going to be an issue. Okay, so I'm looking at some video and I think the picture maybe is a little deceiving. It looks like the cars do actually have to swerve back and forth to stay in between the lines. They're not going to, though. Well, to stay in between the lines they do, but...

You just drive over the lines. Yeah, exactly. But here's the deal. How firmly are local police going to enforce this? Because if they do, they can get you for crossing the center line. Sure they can. But what you can do, honestly, if you're driving and you stayed, so we're looking at it right now to describe what we're looking at. We have a double yellow line in the middle and then we have the white lines that stop you from getting adjacent to the sidewalk.

If you simply bisect those white lines, you're going to be, so you'll cut across those lines. Now, I don't know if this is a street where cars can park. My guess is no. But that would be the issue. I see people cut lines short all the time and never get in any trouble. Well, you never see them get in trouble. I don't understand why they don't just either, A, put in those speed pillows, or

Or cushions or whatever you call them. There's got to be a reason why they didn't. Or why they don't use stop signs. There are cross streets here. You can just throw stop signs in there. The street that I grew up on, President Avenue and Rutledge, for the longest time didn't have stop signs. There were only stop signs on the cross streets, but not on the main drag. And cars would come screaming. Cars! Cars! Cars!

But they would come screaming. It was a cut through to get from Morton Avenue to Malrose or whatever. And then they put a stop sign. Could not agree more. Could not agree. Because listen, now if you're blowing off stop signs, there's a whole other world of hurt that is going to come your way. But to me...

My take at present, I think it looks stupid. And I think it looks like the guy who was laying down the lines was drunk on the job. And I commend them for wanting to slow people down. Yes. Because I try to, when it's a residential area, I don't see any driveways coming out on the road, though. If I see driveways coming out, I back off the speed because somebody could be pulling out. Not only you could get injured, you could hurt somebody else and so on. So I've learned to chill out a little bit in residential areas.

But, yeah, this doesn't look like... This looks stupid. You've seen it in Europe with the zigzags? Yeah, but that means no crossing that. No, I got that. Yeah, yeah. But still, I think the more that you are... I'll tell you this, and I've mentioned this before on Lincoln Drive. They did this thing with these... They have these pylons and these things sticking out. These...

weird painted areas that are now closed off. And I see people who have never been on or at least are clearly seem to be new to the area. Like, what? Where am I going? They get completely confused. All right. So this was in response, as I'm sure we would assume, in response to address community complaints about speeding, right? And so there are houses and residents along this road. And this was the police department's address

This was their solution to it. And it says our highway safety officers and traffic engineers have determined that this is the best course of action for the area to ensure the safety of local residents. All right. So follow up on that with some text that I'm seeing. Somebody had texted and said they don't put the speed bumps down so they can plow. Yes. In the winter. Absolutely. So that's why they did that. Because I also, I was a city planner. I know this. Okay.

And then this other text says they can't use stop signs for speed control per PennDOT. And then this says, unfortunately, not in that area now, but it says, tell Casey the speed bumps were turned down. So for whatever reason, they considered it and then couldn't. I don't know how it has to do with the plowing or not. But it's hard to back though. Why can't you use stop signs to promote speed?

regulation is speeding. I don't know. I guess not to enforce the speed limit. That's a whole different law. You have to stop at it. Would it in turn have people slow down? Maybe, but they probably can't use it for that reason. That's why traffic lights are a lot of times scheduled the way they are to slow down the flow of traffic. But I had two different areas where I live in Broomhall that they put up the speed cushions.

So there's like Old Gradyville Road. Old Grady. Old Gradyville Road. They put up, I want to say like two or three or four actual cushions, maybe even more than that. And then over closer to the Lawrence Park Shopping Center in the little neighborhood there, they did the same exact thing. So-

And they plow those streets. Yeah, and my neighborhood has speed bumps all the way through it. Yeah, and they plow around it, right? Yeah, they go over them. It might depend on who's plowing and all of that. Mr. Plow. They need Plow King. Plow King.

Yeah, interesting. I had, as far as I know, I've never seen anything like this before. No. It just, it looks a little goofy. And it stands to reason that if you're going to do that, okay, and I mentioned, well, maybe they have a police presence to make sure that people adhere to that. Why not just enforce the speed limit? Just put speed strips up and down the whole road. Or just why not, you know, the police could be there. And listen, I know that the resources are what they are and they can't be there all the time.

But same thing for enforcing this. You know, you need police officers on scene to enforce it. Agreed. Agreed. Because once you become lax with the enforcement, it won't matter. When you're driving along and you're in an area that you have not been on before. You're driving along. You're driving along. Oh, my God.

The signs that indicate your speed. Yes. That start flashing. Does that have any effect on you? It does. It does me as well. I think they're smart. Especially there are some that have like a little strobe that will flash too when you've gone above. And it fires lasers into your eyes. It does. Sometimes it's like, oh, I didn't realize I was going that fast. And that's kind of what I think it's not going to get everybody. But for some of us who may just, you know, not.

fully be paying attention to what the speed limit is through the area. I think it works. For me, I also think it's like an advertisement. So if there's, are the police in the general area back who can see the sign flashing? Anything. It's like that, anything that is a deterrent that's saying, oh, you're breaking the law and shame on you.

My neighbor was an officer, but I guess, you know, dealt mostly with the traffic. And I guess those, I don't know if it's all of them or just the ones that were up in my area, but they're collecting data. So when you're speeding by it, it's collecting that data so that I guess things like this, you know, if the community is complaining and they want people to slow down, they're using that also when they're

trying to get the information. We've seen it when they literally put, it's like a cable across the street. Is that what that is? Yeah, and that is to determine average speed and traffic times. Hold on, hold on. We got somebody who's there right now. There we go. We're going to go to Alex. Hey, Alex, how you doing, man?

Hey, good morning, guys. Morning, bud. So you're right there on, what is it, Gray Lane? So I'm at County Line and Dualstown Road, so I'm about, I don't know, a minute away. Okay, all right. Take us over there, if you would, please. All right. Gray's Lane. I'll flip the camera. Yeah, thank you for flipping that around. Are you on the job right now, bud, or are you going to work, or what are you doing? I'm working, man. I'm driving around. Driving around. Driving around.

All right. And are you in the area a lot? Yeah. So I work for North Wales Water Authority and this is in our system. All right. So you've driven through this before with the new. This will be my first. It's first for everyone. And you're driving along. OK. Have you heard any feedback from people about this?

No, not yet. I saw a video on TikTok the other night and I'm like, that looks awfully familiar. And is it a place where people speed? I don't think so. It doesn't seem like it. Yeah, it doesn't seem to take a look at the pictures. It doesn't seem like a long enough stretch. But you're going 45. I can see your odometer. What's the speed limit there?

The speed limit here is 45. So I'm on Doolestown Road right now. Yeah, he's not there yet. And I'm coming up to Grays Lane now. He's coming up to Grays Lane now. Okay, you're going to make a left on Grays Lane. And we're watching. By the way, if you're on our YouTube account, you can follow along and watch Alex as he takes us on this scenic drive. All right, you're making a left here.

And everything looks straight. So here it is. There's the traffic pattern sign coming up. Okay. And it's very residential. There's houses on both sides of the street. Yep. There's driveways. I don't know if you can see it yet. We can see. It shrank a little bit, but we can see it. All right. Oh, here it is. Here we go. Okay.

How fast are you going? Do me a favor. Go. 18. All right. Here's a little second section here. Yeah, this is a more austere section. All right. You know what? The curving doesn't look as severe as it did in the photo. It doesn't. Yeah. Floor it. It's crazy.

It's quite short, but it's there. As you as a driver, again, Preston's exactly right. The picture we were looking at made it look like the curves were right on top of each other, but you driving through it, it seemed to be a little bit more relaxed. Is that your impression?

Yeah, a little bit. I was going pretty slow, but I'm going to turn around and try it again. Do me a favor, because some of the houses do have driveways. Drive up on their lawns. Yeah, you should, right? Perfect. All right, so here we go. We're now taking our second tour of Gray's Lane in Montgomery Township of this weird little curvy...

line that they've put as a center line in the road. And Alex is taking us on the tour. It froze. Yeah, the bit rate is when you're moving sometimes it's... Alright, here we go. Now we're back on it again, Alex. We can see it. Alright.

He's chuckling. Yet, does it feel dumb to be doing this? Yeah, kind of. I like speed bumps a little better. You do? I hate them. But it doesn't look ridiculously inconvenient. No, it doesn't. It's a little goofy. You notice they put up road cones, and obviously they've gone to great steps to alert people that this is now in effect because there's road cones and signs all over the place. Okay.

All right, Alex, we appreciate the tour, brother. Thanks, man. Can you do it backwards? All right, we'll see you later. I think that... I know we have somebody else here, Marissa, but we already got the tour, so we're good to go. Andrew, I apologize, but thank you. I think that in my neighborhood...

that I'm responsible for the fact that we have speed bumps. Really? What did you do? I'll tell you what I did. So we were one of the... What'd you do? I live in a very large neighborhood. We were one of the first houses in there. I mean, we've lived there for 20 years. So when the neighborhood was being created, we were one of the first of a handful of housing there. So it took years for the neighborhood to build up. I mean, like five, six years.

And I would because it was all construction. Everywhere through there was just construction. It was wide open. It was farmland that had been wiped out and taken to nothing. And so on my way home, it's from the front of the neighborhood to the end is about a mile. And I would just fly through there because there were no residents. It was just wide open. And then it's a clear streets. And I would do 40.

45 miles an hour driving through this neighborhood. And as houses slowly built up in the neighborhood, I didn't pay it any mind. 55, 60. I just kept zipping through the neighborhood. Until...

One of my neighbors came out and started flagging me down. Slow down. She was pissed off. Oh, my God. And I'm like, F you, man. I've lived here for seven, eight years. I was the original. Yeah. I thought you meant you were the one that complained about eating. No, no. But...

it didn't dawn on me. I'm like, what is she all pissed off about? I'm like, we all drive in this neighborhood. Here, have a beer. And then she did it again and I'm like, what's up her ass? And at dawn, I'm like, it's a 25 mile an hour speed limit. People live here now and there are kids in this neighborhood. I didn't even think about it. And shortly after that,

The speed bumps went in. I think she was the catalyst for it. I think I was the one that triggered her. You were the scofflaw. So what we talk about is classic speed bump or like you call them the... The cushions. The cushions. Like the big ones. Oh, they're the big ones. The big ones, yeah. I think they have to put those in neighborhoods. I think they have to be those big ones. So the... I don't like the smaller ones that go bang, bang.

bang when you go over those. I don't like those. I like the larger ones. Or maybe that's just like the older version of it and these bigger ones are the new version. They put a series of, I guess, cushions in on a stretcher road where there's a lot of street racing. The problem is...

If you're looking to slow down and mitigate traffic that way, you need to make them wider because most cars can pass right over those things. No problem. Yeah. If you can straddle it perfectly, you don't even feel it at all. My neighborhood actually doesn't have speed limit signs.

And then one of the residents there took it upon themselves to put up their own speed limit sign. I believe that's illegal. It is. It was. It was. But they made it like 15 miles per hour. They put it right next to the post office they started. Yeah. They made it 15? Yeah. No. No. Okay. Again, so if you're in a residential area or at schools or whatever, and it says 15 or it says 25 usually.

I stay close to 25. Didn't you get... I mean, at that point, yes. I understand why you're slowing down. It's usually schools. It's usually kids. I got it. Some people will go hardcore 20 or 25. I'm like, come on. Are you talking about when the school sign is on? Then you have to. Then I absolutely to the number. I go to that. Because they will pull you over. But yeah, if it's 25 miles an hour...

It's more of a wider thoroughfare and it just so happens to go in front of a school. Yeah, I'll do 30 miles an hour. Listen, I got pulled over one time and there was a kid's foot sticking out of my grill. I was like, I didn't even say that. I didn't have no idea. I was going 55. I was first in the neighborhood. I did tell my kids though, once they got to driving age, I'm like, I know that 25 miles an hour seems really, really slow to you. But I go, when you get in the neighborhood, in our neighborhood, you do that speed limit. I'm like, because...

All these people around here, they live around you. You are going to see them regularly. And you don't want to be tailgating people in your own neighborhood, your own neighbors, you know. And so put it in historical context. How fast was your average Conestoga wagon? Yeah.

Max out how fast would it go? That's a good question. There you go. I don't really know. No, but you're right. You live with these. You have to see these people every single day. You don't want to make enemies of your neighbors. There's that speed demon. He's on the radio. I had a neighborhood waver too, Preston. I guess I wasn't fully stopping at the stop signs at 5 o'clock in the morning. Hard!

Yeah, and she took out, because it was dark, this was years ago, but she took out a flashlight and she would shine the flashlight into my car frantically as I drove by. So the gal in my neighborhood, I remember she did it a couple times and it dawned on me, I'm like, oh my God, she's right. And I was like, all right, the next time I go by, if I see her out there, I'm going to say, hey.

Thank you for pointing that out to me. To be honest, I've lived here for so long, I hadn't paid attention. Why don't we go inside for some drinks? That all these houses had popped up and families here. But the next time, and I planned on doing this. I was doing...

Like 26, maybe 27 miles an hour. And she freaked out? Yeah, and now I was like, screw you. How fast do you think I was going? See you next Tuesday. I got yelled at, but I wasn't even in my neighborhood where I was going to a friend's house. And I hadn't really been in the neighborhood before. And it was really weird. It wasn't like a perfect grid. So I was making this soft left and...

And I kind of rolled through the stop sign. But, like, again, I wasn't trying to be an a-hole. This dude just starts reading me the riot act. And I was like, what is this guy even yelling about and blah, blah, blah. So I end up parking the car. And I went to go have a conversation with him as he's yelling at me. And then he starts, like, walking away. I'm like, dude, don't be a pussy. You know what I mean? Did you say that? No, but, like, honestly. Excuse me. Don't be a pussy. But...

Honestly, if you're going to do that, you're going to come out and guns a blazing. Yeah. And then I come to have a conversation with you. You got to hear what I have to say. I am. I am not a role. I come to a full stop. I come to a full stop at stop signs. It's just one of those things I do. I get it. And sometimes at three thirty or quarter to four in the morning or whatever, you can maybe stop and do a little roll through. But I just always stop. But what kills me, though, in my neighborhood there along my street, the

For many people, those stop signs are simply arbitrary. And they go, they slow down but don't really slow down and go right through. And we're talking four-way intersections all the way up and down. You want to kill them.

Here's somebody texting him with an odd speed limit sign. It says Tropicana Atlantic City Park and Garage is nine miles per hour. Oh, yeah. Nine. Cape May Zoo is nine. Really? What is the purpose behind that? To throw you off? No, just to keep it under double digits, I guess. Nine times nine?

So, well, anyhow, I thought it was interesting. This is a Montgomery Township. It's on Grays Lane. And some people are like, they're furious about it. I gotta go to the bathroom, Daddy. And other people are like, eh, it's weird. It's goofy looking, but whatever. Well, seeing it in practice and the gentleman driving it, it seemed less austere than the pictures would indicate. It did. So I'm okay. Okay.

By the way, speaking of the lane markings, Steve sent me over an article from the Enquirer about how a lot of pavement markings are missing in Center City. And they have an article about why that is. Many of the heaviest traveled roads with equally heavy foot traffic, especially in Center City, have no crosswalk markings.

They were curious why, and they asked some experts. But pavement markers fade over time, of course, or they need to be redone after a street is repaved. And that can make it hard to discern where pedestrian crossing bike lanes and driving lanes all are. But the longevity of the pavement marking depends on the material that's used. Dude, how many times have you been on a street or you're driving in an area and say maybe it's slightly inclement weather and you can't determine where the lanes are? Sure.

It's infuriating. So Philadelphia uses thermoplastic, it's called. That's what I use. Thermoplastic line stripping is a hard-wearing material for pavement markings that uses heat to make pigments and glass beads adhere to the ground.

Despite its endurance, it's a wearable item, so it doesn't last forever. The material tends to fade within eight years. But Philadelphia's level of traffic, weather, and snow plowing speeds up that fading process, and that results in local markers lasting three to five years. Which is not enough time. No. Yeah. Because then you talk about the thousands and thousands of miles that intertwine around the city. That's a lot of work. Yeah.

It says roadways that see high rates of travel also see the highest rates of wear and tear on the markings at roadway surface. So that's why it's tough to sometimes have to get around. So there's a parking lot I pull into all the time. They finally relined it. But I mean, pulling in there and determining, like, there's never enough parking spots because people don't know how to space themselves. Mm-hmm.

properly from another car so doors can open up and stuff like that. And so now they finally did it and you pull in and it's like, oh, that many cars can fit in here when it's properly lined. Because it's like, and places actually lose business because people won't go in because, you know, cars are parked on a slant and they don't know what to do. In the morning, if I pull in, you know,

I'm pulling in. It's an empty lot. If I get out and I see the car isn't correctly angled because later on someone might have difficulty, I'll get back in, pull it out, and angle it back in the right way because it sucks when you have to deal with that. I don't want to do that to someone else. I don't want to get my car dinged. Oh, door dinged. That's why I would move it. Yeah.

um so yeah all right so it's kind of interesting stuff about the lines on the road uh let's talk about menstrual cycles menstrual cycles what is our city doing about that well it's uh interesting that you ask that steve because in an effort to end period poverty a new period pantry has opened in west philadelphia oh i think this is wonderful i to me it still boggles my mind that uh

for women are not made, are not part of like food stamps and assistance. Right. You can't buy that with your assistance. That's insane. Exactly. Kathy, and that's what this covers. So the new pantry debuted at Health Partners Plans Community Wellness Center.

It's at 6232 Market Street. The pantry will provide free menstrual products, education on menstrual health, and access to community health workers who can assist with scheduling women's health appointments. And some of this money is actually going to the new tampon guns at the sporting events. Wow. Yeah.

That's like a machine gun. Like a Nerf gun, Preston. Lynette, we need to make that. Fire a tampon? Yeah, absolutely. You absolutely could do it. I think that's the perfect size. Would a tampon fit in a Nerf gun? You had a Nerf

arsenal. The period pistol. The period pistol. No, the Nerf. It's too small. The menstrual magnum. There we go. I think we have a Nerf gun. We have to in the closet. I still have a bunch. Wait a minute. We're looking at a video right now. Making a Nerf gun that shoots tampons. Somebody's already done it. No, it's not. That's a Nerf gun. I know.

He just put a Nerf. What are they called? The little shooters. He's making a Nerf gun that shoots. He's firing tampons. I see. He put it in. He put the Nerf. What are they called? What's the Nerf shooter called? The Nerf bullet.

I don't know. Whatever. He put that in the gun and then added like an extension on the end of the gun. Yeah. Put the tampon in it. This is like a super custom, powerful. I would. All right. So anyhow, Lynette Medley and her daughter, Naya McGlone, were the brains behind the new period pantry. And they've both been fighting menstrual insecurity in the Philadelphia region.

with their organization called No More Secrets. Medley said, we both lived in period poverty. Nobody talked about the inability to afford period products.

And according to health officials, period poverty affects two in five people who menstruate, resulting in missed work, school, and job interviews. And the price of the products now has skyrocketed. It's even more expensive now. A lot of people are using eggs. People who face period poverty often have to choose between basic needs like buying food or paying for utilities.

And over time, this could lead to significant health and mental health challenges, according to officials. Kathy, is the menstrual cup completely off the table for you now? Yeah, it doesn't work for me. And I talked to my doctor about it, and she's like, look, it's the shape of your body, and it's not made for everyone, and it's not made for you. Okay. Did he also say that your body is a wonderland? No.

This issue is prevalent in Philadelphia and disproportionately impacts black and Latina women as well. So the new period pantry on Market Street is free. Anyone can come in throughout the week and pick up what they need.

So that's really cool. Do they have coffee? That it does not say. But they're at 6232 Market Street, Steve. If you want to stop by there. It's a nice thing. But you have to drink it out of a menstrual cup. Yes, I like that. It's very good. It's like a little espresso. Yeah, a little thing. All right, so I thought that was kind of nice. That is good news. All right. And by the way, I just noticed your Tron shirt. Oh, thank you. Yes, well done. It's a recognizer from Tron. Thank you. Maybe that could be a period break. Could be.

All right. We are going to take a break. We'll come back in a moment. Steven Weber is scheduled to join us, talk about Chicago Med. And then we have his really cool guest, Christina Ulmer, who is a teacher promoting the $20 challenge to make it national news. We'll find out. You know what? Let's give away some goodies. Yeah.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Catherine. Yeah, we're watching the Nobody's Fool video right now, and they had the best hair. Cinderella had the hair, man. And, you know, listen, it's a trope of the era, but I do miss the classic rock chick in the videos. Totally. Yeah. Yeah, that definitely had to be in all of the videos. Every one of them, yeah. Hot girl, hot girl.

We're in the rock and roll duds. I want to see the guitar flip here. It's coming up. Yeah, any second now. Well, I mean, the whole video looks the same as you're watching it, so I'm not sure at what point they are in this.

But I just remember freaking out over that. Real quick, I want to reiterate something. An announcement we made earlier this morning while we were waiting for our guest to join us. We have announced it's Preston and Steve's 20 Money. This is your chance to win $1,000 five times a day. It starts on Monday and it's in celebration of...

of our little radio program having a home for 20 years here at WMMR. Oh, my God. I know. I remember when we first got off the train, you and I got some money together. Yep. And we're going to the big city. Welcome to the jungle, baby. Yep. We had our clothes and little pouches on sticks. Oh, yeah.

So starting Monday, we will announce a keyword and it's going to be five times a day, 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. at those times. And then we'll give you until 25 minutes after the hour to enter that. And there are three ways for you to do it. You can do it through WMMR.com, through the MMR app on your mobile device, or of course, you can text it to a special number.

contest short code number, which is 45911. We're not going to use our regular text number for that. And it is sponsored by United Tire and Service. So that is going to be starting on Monday. So get yourself set for that. This just impressed me. They just did the flip. Oh, I missed it. Sam will back it up.

Yeah, there it is. Yes. Yeah. Oh, I never had the balls to try that. I mean, you could do that with the drums. Dude, I'm not a guitar player, but I did, you know, play guitar a little bit. Wait, your acoustic guitar. You would let me do that. It's no way. Our acoustic guitar. Oh, man. All right. I'm going to hurt. I'll hurt my for you, bro. And by the way, I don't think you're supposed to do it with an acoustic. It's too. The body's too wide. But try it. Oh, no. By the way, someone get a cold compress. Oh, man.

The head song is going to hit me in the head. You need more room. I'm not going to do it. I'm going to hurt myself. I'm taking a golf trip in a week and a half. If I can't play, Kathy will do it.

The broadcasting world was stung this morning as Preston Elliott strangled himself to death on the morning show. I don't know if anybody's ever tried to... All right, here we go. Preston's walking around. He's getting into position. He's going to try to do a Cinderella guitar flip. Oh, God. If you hurt yourself, I apologize. You're going to hurt yourself. Oh! He hit himself right in the head. He hit himself.

What exactly he feared would happen happened. He clocked his head with the body of the guitar. Oh, my. Nailed himself in the head. I'm sure the listening audience heard that bomb. He said that would happen. I'm sorry about that. Why did you, Casey and Kathy egg him on? That hurts.

I can't stop snorting either. That's why they're using electric guitars. Dude, that would hurt even more. No, it would be a thinner body. It wouldn't hit me. It would have gone all the way around. It's heavier. It will go all the way around. It's just wider. That's the thing. That's the problem. It would have hurt more because it's denser wood. Yes. Well, Pastor, you should have brought that up. Shut up.

All right, is Steven Weber on yet? He's supposed to be on now. Stop taking video, Marissa. It's a big video. Are you going to try it? Well, I think we need to make this. Listen, you owe it to him after making him do that. Now you're going to do it? I'm not going to do it, no. Oh. Oh, dude. All right, I don't think it's concussion level, but that hurt. All right, you want me to do it? I'm doing it. No. Shut up. Didn't even hit myself in the head or nothing.

Super slow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I'm tender. That's it. All right. Yeah. I'm tender there. You're going to need, yeah. So don't kill your golf trip. Okay. Oh, I already. What happened? I was at just the driving range hitting golf balls and I pulled something in my ribs, man.

So I'm like a week and a half away from the trip and I'm not going to touch a golf club before going because we're going to be playing like 36 holes a day. And who are you going with? My buddy Jim. Oh, he's a great guy. Yep. He's a doctor, is he not? He is a doctor. Okay, so there you go. Oh, that's good. Well, he's a neurosurgeon. Well, that's good. A little neurosurgery. I need it now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. Is he a lawyer as well? He is, yes. Okay, so then he can also sue himself for malpractice. No, he'll sue Casey for making me do it. Yeah, we're

He can get your workman's comp, and then he'll take care of your head. You're covered. I'm going to work on my head. Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. You know, I still have a lingering injury from... Remember I was touting the thing, the snow pusher during the snowstorms? This device, it's kind of like... Oh, yeah. And it's great. I love it. But I still have a lingering injury in my right wrist. From pushing that thing around? I didn't realize. Case, what's the story with our guests? So we have new phone numbers. They're trying to get in touch with me. I'm trying to get in touch with them. Okay. So...

He's going to Zoom, right? No, no, it's a phone interview. Oh, no. A lot of times they'll call in and think that we have phone lines. Let me get the phone. Oh, yeah, he's calling on that. Get it. Carla, can you get me Steven Weber? Clara!

Jesus Christ. By the way, we are a major market morning show. We are. It doesn't have phones. We're an entire company that doesn't have phones. Everyone in the cluster. XTU, MGK, Ben FM. But it's our gimmick. It's our thing. It's what we do. We don't use the phone. The best of the 70s, 80s, and 90s and no phones. That's the selling point.

I need to see that video. Are you tired of listening to radio stations that have phones? I want to see that video of me hitting my head with that guitar. Well, I thought it was going to be, I know I said I was going to hit my head, but I thought it was going to be the headstock, the top of the guitar, not the big, thick base of the guitar to nail it.

nail me in the head. I know Marissa's juggling a lot, but Marissa, if at some point you can isolate the... Oh, wait. Here we go. All right, we'll watch the video. I want to see this. Oh, my God. With your head? Well, it looks like it just clung. Yeah, it got me good. It got me good. Look at them zooming in on you. Oh, man.

I'm an idiot. You know what? I've always wanted to try that, though. I guarantee you, I think I've actually done it with my brother's electric guitar. But it's a thinner body, a much thinner body. I think we have an electric guitar if you want to try that. No. Okay, all right. Don't you understand? He's playing golf. He's going on a big golf trip. Now, if you have a keytar, maybe I'll do it with that. How about a piccolo? No.

All right, I need to know what we're going to hear now. You need to get the audio, though. Is there other guests here? Yeah, yes, she's here. Okay, so if we don't get Steven on here, we can put her on instead. Steven Weber is a friend of the show. I know he has a great interview. And I would like to talk to him, but... Because he would have talked... He actually is on a show where he plays a physician. Oh, that's right. He can tell you how to treat your massive head wound right now. Let me make sure there's no blood.

Okay, it's not wet. Okay, all right. But it is, it's probably swollen. Yeah, it just gave you a little. Yeah, a little noodle. A little knot on your head. Yeah, it was a little cong cong. Yeah, a little cong cong. Casey's now, we have a whole staff working on getting Steven Weber. This is crazy that we can't have a guest on because of this. Listen, not every. And it's taking this much. Not every company has phones.

I want to congratulate myself on being able to hide my utter...

Yeah, you're doing a good job. And not explode because of the continued issues that we have. And I'm not blaming our staff around here, the engineering staff, because they're working as hard as they can. Oh, the poor engineers. They're here like all hours trying to get this worked out. I blame the money. I blame the people that are in control of the money. So whatever, man. All right. It looks like we're going to get Steven Weber on for like a two-minute conversation, I guess. It's going to happen.

happen? Via Zoom? It's going to be on the phone, but it's going to be audio. Actually, it's going to come up on the Zoom, right? It's going to come up on Zoom, but it's going to be audio only. I got it. And unfortunately, this thing was supposed to start seven minutes ago. I know. So we're going to get a two-minute interview with him. But two minutes with Steven Weber is better than... Ten minutes with a loser. Yeah. So it'll be all right. Marissa's

Kind of sitting there resting her chin on her hand and meaning nothing doing. We started the show, we said one thing. It was our edict right at the beginning. We will always make time for Steven Weber and Tim Daly. I see a thumbs up.

So that means that we are very, very close in just a moment. We'll get him on the line here. Not quite there yet. No, but I'll go ahead and turn it on and up just for when we are able to hear him. But Marissa's holding up her index finger. That is usually an indicator of we are almost there, folks. So close. Yeah. That's what they did right before the Apollo 11 launch.

One second, guys. We're almost on our way to the moon. We're going to be going to the moon here in mere moments. All right. In the meantime, I will remind you we'll do some more giveaways in a little while. Why don't you do your tribute to Cinderella? For me?

from Hangry Bear. We'll do more giveaways. Hangry Bear Creamery. They have a flavor and it's out there. It's Schuylkill, something Schuylkill. It is tremendous. Schuylkill River Surprise. Amazing. I've got to try it. All right, is he on? Oh my God. Wow. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Dean Archer is joining us from Chicago Med. Now, you know him better as our good friend, Mr. Steven Weber. Steven, can you hear us? Nope.

As the clock ticks away. That's it. It is 9, 18, and 35 seconds. We're going to lose Steven Weber. Do we have him until 9, 20? Let me try this. Hey, we got you, Steven. How you doing, man?

I'm good. How are you? Good. Thank you. What's going on over there? We have been without phones. Steven, I just tried to... You remember in the old 80s videos where the rock guitarists would take a guitar and throw it around their shoulder, whip it around their back? I just tried that and conked myself in the head. Never done it before. No, you're too old for that. I know. Way too old. Trying to relive the glory days. But since you're a doctor, do you recommend I do anything?

Yes, I recommend first pay me, and then I'll come over there and check it out. You are a doctor, aren't you? Well, is it? Yeah, right. We apologize for the technical issue, which means we have a short window with you here. But no, we had a chance to talk to you not too long ago. We love any time we get a chance to chat. Thanks for coming on. So we'll cut right to the chase. The episode, The Book of Archer, which airs tomorrow. This concept is pretty wild. Explain what the conceit of the episode is, Stephen.

Essentially that they're focusing on one character from getting up in the morning to going to sleep at night and all the challenges and travails, both personal and professional, that he encounters. And it's a good way to do a deep dive into characters that people have seen, you know, milling, not milling around, but interacting with other characters. So it's basically just focusing on one person as opposed to the other.

Although everybody else on the show, who viewers know and love, obviously are part of it and they interact. But the focus is more personal. And it's a stellar cast. And I love the fact that you do have an ensemble like this. You have Oliver Platt, who is just terrific. And you guys, I mean, it has to be cool, both lengthy careers, and to be in this sort of situation. Do you ever kind of just...

get some time together to just sort of celebrate the fact that you're still going. I mean, he has the bear as well. You know, to be at this point in your careers and still be vital and putting out great work. Yeah.

Well, all the time. The amount of gratitude on this show is kind of overwhelming. You know, it's not an easy time for everybody in this country, but it's also very hard in this industry, which is going through a major change. A lot of much better actors, which much...

with much longer resumes aren't, uh, working right now. And, uh, so we're very, very, um, grateful that, uh, to be working for as long as we have been in on a show of such good quality. Is it, so with, we've asked this before, but it's, it's, it,

The resurgence and the recycling of medical dramas. We just had the original Dr. Kildare. I'm having a Richard Richard Chamberlain. Yeah, past. I mean, these have been a mainstay of television drama forever. But it really comes down to the most obvious things about the human drama. Is that what you connect to on this?

The short answer is yes. The longer flowery answer is yes.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I mean, it is that basic. And it lends itself to great drama. And as opposed to the earlier days of, you know, Dr. Kildare, Marcus Welby, you know, with the advent of a show like ER back in the day, stories and the storytelling has become more gritty and more personal. And, you know, Chicago Med has a great formula that people love. It's the Dick Wolf formula. And this year they've been trying to imbue it with a little more

I don't know if I like the better word, mature or adult, certainly grittier, more personal aspects. And that's typified by this, or exemplified by this next episode. This episode, yeah. We will certainly tune in. We owe you a make good on this one for whatever else comes down the pipe you want to promote. Yeah, you do. You do. You do. All right.

I'm going to collect. I got to collect. All right. We love you. Thanks, Steven. Steven Weber, guys. Real quick conversation with him. But the Book of Archer episode airs tomorrow at 8 o'clock. I do like it when shows do that. When they're an ensemble cast, but they'll focus in on just one character.

for the entire episode. I love that type of thing. I do as well. One of my favorite episodes, I know you're a Next Generation fan, is Day in the Life of Data's Day, basically, and how they interact with everyone. I love what they call bottle episodes. Daredevil just did one that the majority of it took place in a bank. I like those episodes because they allow you to see

you know, the character with different interactions and it just puts them in a different light. And that's always, especially if you're a fan of the show, you love to see that. Yeah, and in fact, during the interview, you had mentioned the bear. Yeah. And that one episode with the...

With the one lady. Oh, yes. It was tremendous. No, no, no. Oh, the older woman who works. Yeah. Comes into her own and her family. That was a wonderful episode. Amazing episode. Can't wait for that show to come back around. All right. Case. When are we talking to our next guest? I can bring her in now or we can do. I mean, it says on our little schedule here, 830 or 930. I'm sorry. So was that the plan? I guess so. Let's do it. I'm so sorry that it's. Where?

You have just had a major concussion. You can't be held responsible for your indecisiveness.

You gotta hear what that sounded like. Do we have audio on it? No, Marissa will get it eventually. No, dude, I heard close up what it sounded like. It sounded different to you than it did to the rest of us. It did. It sounded thunderingly loud. Do you remember El Cabong? From my perspective. El Cabong was an animated character and actually would smash a guitar over people. Oh.

Yeah, yeah. El Cabang. He was a horse. A horse, yeah. What? Yeah, my older brother's... Was it Crickshaw McGraw? El Cousin? Maybe, maybe. But we used to call him El Cabang. That was a nickname of his, yeah. Okay.

Let me ask you, Press. When you got clocked in the head, could you smell it by any chance? No. Did you smell burning toast? No. No, because the one time I was laying on the netting of the catamaran, we were down in... Oh, God. Anguilla. Anguilla. Yeah. And I was just laying there. Yeah, it was my fault. And then all of a sudden, I just smelled pain because Presson had decided to just drop...

onto the netting. No, I think I did a somersault. Oh, you did a somersault? And then I banged your head. We banged heads. I had no idea it was coming. It sucked. It was horrible. That was worse than this. Okay. That was worse than getting hit in the head with a guitar. Was this your payback for that? Yeah. Finally. I've been waiting. I waited in the lurches. A dozen years later.

All right. Well, listen, our next guest is here and we are happy to welcome. Talk about doing some good in the world. It's such a great story. And getting some national press as well. She is a local teacher and she has created the $20 challenge. It's a beautiful story behind this. And there's a donation that you can make to help forward this. We would like to welcome first and foremost, Christina Ulmer. Yay!

to our show this morning hello christina it's nice to see you first i have to make sure you're okay because from the angle back there i i'm teaching my students about empathy i mean that was not great i know uh well listen uh a little bit about you where do you teach so i teach at haper horsham high school okay i'm a english teacher mostly ninth grade but all grades too but um yeah so how long have you been doing that

20 years. Wow. 20 years. This is my 20th year. You do not look old enough to be doing that for 20 years. Thank you. Wow. So it's a beautiful story. It unfortunately comes with tragedy. It was born out of tragedy. Can you share what exactly took place? Sure. So 10 years ago, my sister, my only sibling, died in a car accident in Northeast Philly. She was driving to her boyfriend's

boyfriend's apartment and unfortunately just passed away. And so when we went to the accident scene, we didn't know that she had passed away. We got there, we learned she died and I asked the police officer to go into her car and grab her belongings because I wanted her things. And when I got home, I discovered she had a wad of cash in her wallet. She was a waitress on the side and she

She must have waitressed that morning. She had all her tip money. And so I knew I wanted to do something with the money. I didn't know what yet. I knew it had to be something for good because my sister was always a very empathetic person from the time we were very little, like always concerned with others. Her goal was to be an EMT, right? Yeah, she actually put herself through EMT school right before she passed away. And yeah, she would volunteer at our local food bank. She just always concerned with others. Just a wonderful soul. Yeah, always. Yeah, wonderful soul. Very deep, deep old soul.

Was she older or younger than you? Younger, yeah. Three years younger, yeah. Wow. So yeah, so I knew I wanted to do something with the money. I didn't know what. So I put the purse, wallet, all that stuff in this cabinet in my living room and I just sat there. And then four years went by and I had this particularly amazing group of students. We were reading a book called Fahrenheit 451. Yeah. It's one of my absolute favorite. Read Bradbury. It is my favorite novel. And even though it was written seven years ago, in the story of the book,

Everyone's addicted to their screens. They walk around with earbuds in their ears. They are very anxious and depressed. All the parallels. Pretty familiar, right? Yes. And everybody lacks empathy. They have no connection to each other. They have more connection to the people in their screens than the people in their lives. So I was telling my students about empathy and making connections with others. And then this idea came in my head to use my sister's money.

to teach my kids this lesson. And so I went to the bank and exchanged the wad of cash for 20s

And I gave each of my students $20 and I told them to do an act of kindness with it. And so they did. And they did amazing things. And I thought it was just one and done thing. But then people started giving me donations to do it with the next set of kids. And I've been able to do it every semester since, so twice a year, since the fall of 2018. It's nice to see the students listen. And we've been doing the show a long time. So the...

The human spirit, when motivated to do something on behalf of other people, it's there. Sometimes it's inert. Sometimes it needs to be activated through different methods. But it's there. And people will pull together and do these wonderful things. And we've seen it time and time again. But to see the kids...

Get excited about this. Authentically excited. It's not a gimmick. 6 ABC did a little video about you as well and about the students. It's so pure and honest, and it's a two-fold thing. They're doing this on behalf of people that they really care about, and they're getting very inventive and creative ways and stretching money, say, the way Phil Abundance does. But they also, they're learning how to budget. Yeah.

Oh, yes. Especially in today's economy. Right, right, right. Will they pull their money together? Yes, I have a lot of students who will do that. I've had as large as groups of five or six kids get together and put their money together. Wow. What are some of the more interesting things that you've seen that they put the money to? Yeah, so in talking about trying to stretch a dollar, I've had a couple kids who will figure out ways to take the $20 and then make more money to be able to do something bigger. So

This past fall, I had two students who came together. They bought $40 worth of cookie supplies to make cookies. And then they sold the cookies at a local barbershop in hopes to pay for some of the adoption fee for a local shelter for a dog. They're learning business. Yeah, exactly right. And they made more than they even intended. They made over $300 just selling cookies. Yeah, and pay for the entire adoption fee. So things like that are really cool. You know, kids, a lot of them support local food pantries,

And I had some kids who use like their skills. So one girl learned how to knit and she knitted hats for premature babies in the NICU. Yeah. So, you know, just doing things for, you know, supporting shelters and people who are struggling in their lives. Just a question, because this is in the honor of your sister's legacy. You know, you know, had she gone on, I'm sure she would have done this and tenfold, but

Is her name attached to this in any way other than the challenge? No, not yet. That is my ultimate goal. I've gotten enough donations. I think that I could do this until I retire. I'm almost there. And then my ultimate goal is to start a foundation in her name and where I could help other teachers. Because I've had a lot of teachers from all over the country, really all over the world, reach out to say, you know,

What can I do to do this? I want to do this with my students. And how do I get money? Because the money thing is the big deal, right? It's a brilliant thing. And again, if you can be, you know, in the world of business, you have a motivation. And so how do you parlay that? And how do you, again, with the cookies at the barbershop, and who do you talk to? And then along the way, to have that be beneficial and charitable to other people. I mean, it's the best confluence of things you could possibly have.

Yes, and I've had, there was a teacher in Delaware who actually reached out that she saw the story on Action News and then did it on her own. She found a local business to donate money to her class and she gave her fifth graders money and they all did acts of kindness. So that is awesome. I love that other teachers are finding ways to do it. It's hard to get money. We don't make a lot of money as teachers. So yeah, any help would be great. Anyone wants to donate money, that would be lovely. Yeah, the website is pledgecents.org.

pledge c-e-n-t-s dot com and I would imagine that's kind of an ultimate goal getting as many teachers as possible in as many different towns and communities to do the same thing yes that would be great I had a professor in Germany reach out that he's going to do it with his students wow in June so I mean yeah all over the world

I mean, I think our world needs more kindness right now. And with that comes, as you said, the interaction of companies and that'll kick in and do it. I think it has to, you know, I mean, you don't want, okay, kids, you're each getting $2 million. It lives and breathes in the purity of the accessible. It's something that we're very aware of with the Camp Out for Hunger. We are forever indebted to the large corporations that help out, but it lives and dies by the organic grassroots community.

and that connection to people helping people. Yes. And that would be, I'm sure, what your sister would want as well. Oh, 100%, yeah. I did want to mention, because I was listening earlier, the period pantry that you were talking about. One of my students, when she got the money, she contacted a local women's shelter and discovered that...

that women, you know, lack feminine hygiene products. She was so upset by this. And I think a lot of the times the things the kids end up doing, it's because they do research and they discover, you know, there are people suffering out there in ways they had no idea. Right. And so she ended up spending the $20 on pads and tampons. Wow. And she's 14 years old and it opened her eyes. That's amazing. To what people are going through. So, yeah. You know, a teacher's responsibility is to give kids enough exposure to...

Things that might help them lead down a path of being productive and self-sufficient and all of that stuff. But a residual effect to what you're doing is maybe planting the seeds of, like we said, of kindness, of empathy. And maybe somebody might make a career out of this type of thing as well. You could be. I mean, listen. Yeah.

The truth of the matter is that for charities to be successful in many ways, when they get of a certain size, people who run charities and are active in them, it is a 24-hour, seven days a week, it is a very time-consuming thing. My wife has two charities that she runs, and it's...

It's really time demanding. So it is a good lesson to learn early on. And you could be generating the great charitable organizations of the future. That would be great. I didn't even consider that. Yeah. I just want my kids to be able to grow up and become adults who are connected to each other and, you know, look out for their neighbors and realize that people around them are going through things and they can do something small just to make their lives better. So...

Have you got any feedback from parents who were like surprised to see that their kids were this into it? I've had moms call me crying on the phone, you know, because seeing I have the students record a little reflection about what they did and what they learned. And a lot of the parents don't realize that until I send the video out.

And so, yeah, lots of responses from parents because they didn't, you're not used to their, especially I teach 14 and 15 year olds and I have a 13, almost 14 year old at home. They don't want to talk to you. So, you know, they're not used to their kids talking like that. You mentioned Fahrenheit 451. I mean, that is, that is one of the seminal books in my life. I've loved it. Have you ever seen the Francois Truffaut movie, which is brilliant? Yep.

And it is that it's the disconnecting and losing that ability. And sadly, by no fault of their own, kids lost a lot of the ability to interact during the lockdowns and all that stuff and are still trying to make up for lost ground. So this is a wonderful thing.

Yes, yes. And I do see kids connected to each other. I do think we stereotype teenagers. I think all of us are addicted to our phones. Yeah. Right? And we tend to put that on children a lot. But I think it's a good lesson for us to look up from our screens and look at each other. My youngest recently, and I thought this was pretty cool, on their own, decided to get this app called,

that locks them out of social media after a certain amount of usage. And I'm like, that's awesome. Good for you. So they realize that this is, they're noticing a pattern in their own lives that's going, hey, you got to reel this back a little bit. And self-governed with that. Look for an app that can help you learn how to treat head wounds. We're going to have a win-win. Not a wound, more of a slight injury. Okay.

So do you need help with this? Besides donations? I mean, obviously I had mentioned the website pledge sense.com, but do you need assistance in people? Yes. Any assistance would be great. Anyone who can reach out to me who can help me set up a foundation, that would be great. Yeah. Okay.

Let's fold this in a little bit and see what we can do and get the word out and have a presence on the site and hit things that you have coming up. And I mean, because it's also, as with anything, it's the money, but it's also the rolling up the sleeves. It's also the helping implement ideas that these kids might have, you know, and help facilitate that.

Yeah, that would be great. And if anyone has organizations out there where my students could do something, because they're always looking for ideas. Yeah. Excellent. And by the way, if Ed Bar Horsham gets chosen for coolest teacher, I know who's probably going to win. There you go. Come on. You ready for summer, by the way? Oh, yes. Always. Always ready for summer. When's the last day of work? Oh, June 23rd, I think. Oh, yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Wow. It's only a billion hours away. No, yeah. That's fine.

Well, good on you. This is great. And you're getting some well-deserved coverage on this. But obviously, the more you get, the more it helps. And you'll take every bit of it. So PledgeSense.com. That's P-L-E-D-G-E-S or C-E-N-T-S.com. And you can help out Christina. So congratulations on the great work and continued success with this. Oh, thank you so much. And thank you for what you guys do. Because I know driving to work in the morning, it's...

It can be exhausting. You wake up early, but listening to you guys, I'm happy going to work. Thank you. Christina Ulmer, let's hear it for her. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a second because our final stories are on the way.

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

And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. And we even made a catchy little jingle so you remember it. Hungry and in a hurry?

It hurts up here. I thought I saw that. In my temple. I thought I saw you having an issue with your jaw. If you missed it earlier, we're playing songs that have the word fool in the title. And so we played Nobody's Fool from Cinderella. And we were watching the old video. And it was the first time I'd seen anybody throw a guitar around their neck, which they do in that. And Casey's like, well, we have a guitar here. You should try it.

It's an acoustic guitar, which is a lot wider body than an electric guitar. And I knew I was going to hit myself in the head. Although I thought it was going to be with the headstock of the guitar. It was the bass swung around and nailed me in the tempo, temple. So we have audio of this if you want to hear it. Let's hear it. I haven't heard this yet. Here it was. It's very, very short. Here we go. Oh! He hit himself right in the head. My God. Hang on. I need to...

I need to lengthen this a little bit because I need to hear what that sounded like beforehand. Yeah, okay. All right, let's see. Oh! Guys. You're going to hurt yourself. Oh! He hit himself right in the head. Yes!

It was loud. There's video of it too. It was loud. It's like there's a Bruder film. No, you know what? This is like when Marsha got hit in the nose with the football in the house. Oh, my nose. Oh, my nose. Oh, my nose. I don't like hearing that impact. Guys. You're going to hurt yourself.

It stung. It still hurts a little bit, but I don't think it was concussion worthy. I'm more concerned about the fact that it looks like I have a bald spot on top of my head. Oh, man, right? Or a little thin. Do you see that little thin spot? Or is that gray? Please tell me it's gray. Turn around. Tilt over. No, it's just the part.

It's just a part. Yeah, I have a colic in my hair. It's the part. Anyway, we'll be reliving that moment for years to come. Happened live on the radio. Alright, it's Bizarre File time. Here we go. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File. Bizarre.

I will begin with this. Baseball season has begun. We had the Phil's home opener yesterday and minor league parks are open too. And some baseball franchises have a, have long been at the forefront of ball game food innovations. But this one might need to be sent back this season. The Hartford yard goats, a double a franchise in Connecticut had debuted their float your goat item. So it's,

It sounds pretty good at the beginning. It's a quarter pound beef hot dog topped with peppers, onions, bacon, and brown mustard. And then it's submerged in a glass of 100% pure goat milk. No. Yeah. No. So they shove it into this glass. That's horrific. Of goat milk. And I have no idea...

how you were actually supposed to consume that. I'd rather have a tall glass of snake semen like Jessica Simpson's drinking. But I mean, these are one of these little freak things. Hold on. What just happened? Did you fall down? No, I...

I dropped my phone. I have been getting phone calls, alerts, emails nonstop for like the last hour saying that there's water in my basement and the sump pump is going off. The sump pump has an alert on it. But it's not and it's fine and they keep going off. So I kept getting calls. So I was like, I need to answer this call and tell them like, can you stop this? Okay.

I'm working. Do you know what might help you? I just heard that. Honestly, if I can give some advice, something that might help you would be if you were to attempt a Cinderella guitar flip. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like this. Oh! He hit himself right in the head.

That was so loud. All right. Well, anyhow. This looks horrible. If you're in Connecticut or if you're in, yeah, if you're in Hartford, more specific, you got to try the float your goat item or not. I don't think I will. In Indiana, Evansville, owners of a restaurant say they feel extorted after they say that their plumber returned the goat.

to re-clog their pipes after a disputed bill. I saw this story. Thai bistro and bar operations manager Jesse Sanders says when their kitchen grease trap started to overflow, they called...

Heverin Plumbing Company. Heverin Plumbing. To fix the block. Three days later, when it happened again, they say they called their plumber back. And this time, they said it was an emergency. Well, after they returned for the second job, Sanders says they received a bill for nearly double what they had already paid upon the first visit since the plumber returned on overtime.

The owner said that I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. The first bill was $235. The second was $390. And the owners say they refused to pay the second one. Sanders said it's not about the money. It's just about him standing behind his work. Restaurant surveillance cameras show the plumber returning the next morning.

He said the manager said the following day we received a text message saying that he's on her property. He put a balloon in our grease trap and he's not going to remove it until we pay. Text exchanged between the parties show the restaurant owners were given about an hour to pay their bill before the plumber would leave for the weekend.

And he said if we were to leave the balloon in there, it would overflow the restaurant with water, dirty water from the grease trap. Basically, we would have to shut down. Now, Hebron Plumbing Company owner Joel Hebron says that his business offers no warranty for drain cleaning.

He said that the restaurant also had a history of being slow to make payments to their business in the past. He even said, I don't have a magic wand that I can wave and remove all the garbage and debris from the line. What we can do is we can snake it. We can make sure that it's open and working correctly, which is what we did.

Police officers actually came to the restaurant to mediate upon the restaurant owner's request. So what do you think in this case? So let's say they were doing something, you know, you can kind of see both sides a little bit. What if they come out, they clean the pipe, they do what they're supposed to, and you'd like to think that they took care of it and that's that. But what if the restaurant is engaging, putting things down the drain and so on and so forth that keeps...

bringing the problem back. I would hope or would think that it might make sense for a plumbing company to have like a 24-hour return, or lack of a better term, a refund policy. If they clear a drain and then all of a sudden 24 hours later it clogs back up again, they come back in, they do it again for free. That's what I would think. So this happened within that time frame, right? I think it was two days. Losers. Let me see here. Er...

I don't know. Okay. So three days later. Yeah. So I wouldn't expect a refund after three days, you know? But you can't ransom the company by, you know, going back and sabotaging it. Yeah. With officers on the scene and the bill paid, he removed the blockage and the restaurant says that the bill they handed over ultimately was marked paid under protest. So...

Pup. A man living in Portland, Oregon, in a Portland, Oregon neighborhood is wondering who is putting gallons of urine in his recycling bin and why. Jimmy. Alex, it's Jimmy. Uh-huh.

He went back home to Argonne. That's where I do my best pissing. Alex Van Duyen said the problem started in September when he noticed his recycling bin had not been collected. What the hell is that? I went to open the blue bin and lo and behold, there was a nice deposit of

of gallon-sized bottles of urine, to put it plainly, and he said there were six of them. Six gallons of piss. The recycling hauler refused to take the bin's contents because urine is biohazard. If it had been placed in the garbage bin, it would have been collected. Wasn't that an alt-ban, six gallons of piss?

I'd have to go back and check. But the mystery man didn't stop and kept dropping bottles of urine in the bin. Eventually, Van Duyen stopped putting his bins out to the curb altogether, hoping the man would quit. And he did. But he moved on to using the neighbor's garbage bins instead. So it wasn't like this was somebody who was

picking him out to vandalize him. He was just the most convenient. I guess. So Van Duyen has captured surveillance video of the man showing up to his house, getting out of his car, placing the bottles of urine in a recycling bin. Unfortunately, videos are grainy and too hard to tell who he is.

He shared his ordeal with the Nextdoor app, where neighbors have flooded the post with theories as to the reason behind it all. But even with multiple theories, Van Duyen still does not know why. And what are you doing? He has filed a police report and is trying to get the man's license plate. So what would you rather have? Somebody walk in their dog and throw the poop bag in your garbage or a gallon of piss in a Wesson bottle? I'd rather have the dog poop.

Okay. So, Van Duyen doesn't plan to move or to take extreme measures. He loves the neighborhood. He's lived there since 2006, but he does have a message for the mystery man, which is, I don't know, please stop. Yeah. He said, please just don't do that anymore. So, we'll see if they can eventually catch this guy, but he has no idea who it is, and they keep leaving pith. This has got to be some sort of...

kink thing or some sort of something there's something yeah they're fulfilling because why are they keeping it in the first place yeah it's really weird all right that's all we have time for that's it in the bizarre file for you let's take a quick break come back when we return we will see how close you've been paying attention with our lesson question we'll get some trash we'll get some music news if you're good maybe some more giveaways from hangry bear creamery we'll be right back

Cloudy skies. And then Friday, 65. And then Saturday, I'm going all the way into Saturday because we're going to be cooling off, just letting you know. And some rain expected as of now. But the high only 52 degrees on Saturday is what they're calling for. Yeah. Let us know.

Let's see. Oh, I want to reiterate an announcement we made earlier this morning. We are doing an event, or I'm sorry, a promotion that starts on Monday, and it's called Preston and Steve's 20 Money. And this is to commemorate us, the Preston and Steve Show, celebrating our 20th year at WMMR. It's pretty amazing. Yep, so that's how long we have been right here at the Rock and Roll Animal.

Anyway, take the word Zoom to 610-660-9333 and we'll see if you can get through. Yes, Kath? In 1923, I just watched the last episode and they have to, it is an operator who is unplugging the cords and plugging back in to patch through to Montana to try to get a hold of someone. And that scene, I was like, that kind of looks like us. Actually, they're doing better than we are. Yes, exactly. They got through. All right, let's get to the trash. The trash business is a gold mine.

93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, we'll get some stories and we'll see if we can get a winner. Steve, what's going on this morning? Well, Preston, astronaut Dr. May Jemison is giving advice to Lauren Sanchez and Gail King ahead of their trip into space aboard the Blue Origin rocket. Jemison reportedly warned them about the dramatic risk of zero gravity queefing. Oh, oh.

Could be a problem. The star of the reality show called Love and Marriage Huntsville, okay, was arrested for speeding in Georgia on Friday night. Marceau Scott attempted to play the Do You Know Who I Am card until a Google search said never heard of him. And finally, gospel singer and bishop Marvin Sapp under fire for locking his congregation in the church and

and refusing to open the doors until they raised $40,000. Sapp defended his fundraising method, saying people always become more generous when they believe they're going to die. All right, looks like we got somebody on board who wants to take a crack at this. So we are going to go and check in with Zach. Hey, Zach. Morning. Hey, how you doing? Good, buddy.

On 93.3 WMMR. Brought to you by A.D. Moyer, trusted expert since 1939. A.D. Moyer Lumber, your professional source for decks, windows, doors, kitchens, millwork, and more. And you can visit them on the web at admoyer.com. I have a little audio to play with this case. I should, yeah. A rare studio recording. Marissa, did you send it over?

No. Oh! He hit himself right in the head. No, that's me hitting my head with a guitar.

A rare studio recording of Yes covering the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby. Oh, I'd like to hear that. Has reportedly made its way online. The track is thought to have been recorded at London's Polydor Studios in February 1969. Polydor. Yep. I can see that on records all the time. And Yes's version has a bit of a faster tempo, a strong rhythm section.

and a psychedelic intro. The YouTuber who posted this, Ian Hartley, said this particular recording has never been publicly released before. And here's the first failed take on the ER run-through as recorded in raw form at the time. Apart from some speed correction, no remastering was done to the master tapes. The audio is not good. They were in the studio, but I don't think that they were...

I don't think it was all set up for, you know, formal recording. They were just kind of practicing. It was sped up? Is that what you're saying? No, it says apart from some speed correction. You guys need to go.

No, they did speed correction on it. So, but I guess Marissa is still sending it over. We got to wait a minute or two. I checked it out and I was like, wow, that should be really cool. But it was in such the early days of Yes that they still had a real raw sound. I didn't realize that Yes has been around for that long. A long time. I had no clue. You said 1969. Wow. So I'm,

Case, I'm not familiar with the real, real early stuff. But yeah, they've been a band that's... Like I told you, I'm reading Geddy Lee's autobiography again. And Rush has been around for a long time. But they were huge geek out Yes fans growing up listening to them. Geddy played the bass for the band when they were at the... Was it the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah, he played Roundabout because...

Chris Quire died years ago. So this is, yeah, here's a little bit of it. It doesn't sound that great, but I thought it'd be an interesting listen anyway. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

Sounds like a garage band practicing, you know. Yeah, I would like to hear that produced, though. I like what they're doing with it. I agree. But that's probably not an option because I doubt the work parts are intact. All right, and then only on one other story. Popper Oats frontman Jacoby Shattucks has revealed that the band's next album will come out next year.

Their latest single, Even If It Kills Me, is the first track from that upcoming record and a really early peak at the new record. The band plans to release more music throughout the year and expects the album to have about 10 or 11 songs. Are they including a bonus track, which is their cover of Yes's cover of Ellen O'Reilly? I would only hope so. Shaddix shared that they're also going on a big tour, including stops in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, Australia, possibly Southeast Asia.

He said that he's been working in the studio between tour dates to finish the album. The new music, including a reimagined version of Even If It Kills Me, was inspired in part by his son's painful breakup. And Shaddix hopes that it connects with fans on a deeper level.

That's it in music news for you. That's all you need. We'll take a break. We'll return to wrap up the program. And we have a $500 Minecraft movie family prize pack to give away. So get set.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Rick Springfield. Losing myself on 93.3 WMMR. I was looking, I believe, next Monday. He's going to be on our program. We hope, yeah. Yep, so he's scheduled to join us. And we're looking forward to talking to that guy about that new song, which the more I hear...

I like that song, man. I love hearing it come up in the rotation. It's definitely polarizing. Some people don't get it. I get it. It's about 10.30 on this Tuesday morning coming to a close. April Fool's Day, by the way. And I just want to take this moment to thank guests that we had on the show. I would like to thank the two minutes of Stephen Webber.

from Chicago Med. We had technical problems and we got them at the last second. It was funny because I said, listen, we owe you a make good on this. Oh yeah, you do. And I'm going to collect.

So it was good to talk to him. His show is Chicago Mad. They have a special episode coming out tomorrow, actually, at 8 o'clock on NBC. And it's all his character. It focuses on his character, which is pretty cool. Spends a whole day with him. Then we had a very lovely chat with Christina Ulmer. Yay! Local school teacher, Hattboro Horsham. And she is promoting the $20 challenge. Her sister passed away 10 years ago. A couple of years after she died, she had found the belongings from the car that were left behind.

behind by her sister after this car accident and she was a waitress and she had all this money, tip money and she is a, so Christine is a teacher and she decided to do something useful with this money that her sister would have appreciated because she was a very giving, very empathetic person so she went to her students

And she gave each one of her students $20 and said, I'm going to give you this $20, but it is up to you to do something good with it. And that was, that started in 2018. This has continued on every year. And now she's getting some national attention from it. It's becoming a really cool exercise. Like she said, an empathy, uh,

And resilience and also ways to make that money stretch and how to get the most out of giving. And it was really cool to hear her story. It's amazing. She is asking for donations if people want to help out with this because that was coming out of her pocket after that first year. The money came out of her own pocket. PledgeSense.com is the website. And that's a sense spelled with a C-C-E-N-T-S. PledgeSense.com.

If you would like to help out or maybe if you're a teacher, do something like that in your own school, in your own classroom. So it was a really cool story. And thank you to our friends at Hangry Bear, and Kennett Square, Melinda Shaw, the owner stopped by and brought us avocado toast and breakfast burritos. Because it's not just ice cream. They've got great food. They've got cocktails, the whole thing that you're looking for.

But ice cream is one of the things they're definitely known for. She brought by Schuylkill River Surprise and Jason Momoa. But one of the really cool things about Hangry Bear is that you can set up an ice cream studio event for friends, family, coworkers, whatever. It can be a bonding event, a team building event.

And you create your own flavors. So to the point, if you're going to have a lot of people, the great thing is they have a big parking lot in front of the place. So you have these parties. It's easy to get there, get in, get out. And a lot of times that place, those parties are serving as research efforts, Preston, to create the new flavor, which they did with this...

Schuylkill flavor, I think, that they brought with them. It's amazing. And their slogan is inspired by creativity and fueled by hunger. I have one last $50 gift card to give away. So if you're interested in grabbing something at the tail end of the program, perfect. Just text the word BEAR, B-E-A-R, to 610-660-9333 and we'll get a winner today.
