Everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. I think you're sleeping. Housekeeping, you want towels? Towels need sleepy. Housekeeping, you want me to put a pillow? Please go away. Let me sleep for the love of God.

Listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR with Preston Elliott. You will listen to every damn word I have to say! And Steve Morrison. Words are like bullets. Lost. Casey Boyd. They all can't starve it. Kathy Romano. I'm lost!

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. Come on. Come on.

Oh, you're there. Good morning and welcome. It's time to get started. Today is Wednesday morning. And we're going to have cloudy skies today. It's going to be kind of a meh day. The high is going to be about 55 degrees. It's cooler as you step out the door. You'll feel it. And then tomorrow, we bounce up to 76. We have some morning showers. Friday, down 10 degrees. High 66.

And then Saturday we'll be in the mid-50s with some rain. Sunday we bounce back up to maybe like around 70 degrees. But rain kind of flirting with over the next few days all the way through the weekend, depending on when and where. That will determine if you get rain or not. Hello. Hello.

Today is Wednesday. It is April 2nd. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning in the news this morning. Val Kilmer, the versatile actor who played fan favorite Iceman in Top Gun and donned the voluminous cape as Batman in Batman Forever and portrayed Jim Morrison in The Doors has died. He was 65 years old.

Yeah, that was that. That was I did. One of the first things I saw this morning is it turned on the news. I'm like, oh, man, I know. He's one of those guys. And we're going to talk further about it, obviously. But he's some of the pivotal, seminal movie enjoyment moments of my life are connected to Val Kilmer performances. We were talking yesterday about the shootout in heat. And he's and he's the one who starts it all.

In fact, Case, I had heard that they use the Army Rangers and some of the military will use his reloading technique in the movie for training purposes. Wow.

Oh, wow.

Today's the day that sweeping new tariffs are set to go into effect. President Trump calls it Liberation Day. But many experts say the plan will result in higher prices on everything from prescriptions to vehicles for American consumers. The announcement has the power to completely change the way the U.S. does business. But what these tariffs will mean for your wallet is...

top of mind for consumers. The press secretary says the goal is to boost American manufacturing long term. The president is focused on reshuffling the American economy to ensure that America is the manufacturing superpower of the world. While the exact details have not been announced, ABC news sources say discussions have centered around a few ideas. A 20% flat tariff rate on all imports

They're even talking about a national version of the big friggin' deal, which is kind of wild. This could mean paying more for everything from food to clothes to electronics. So many industries are waiting on pins and needles for today's announcement, as it could mean a reduction in imports and a reduction in workforce as well.

A brawl at a street hockey tournament that was caught on camera is being investigated by police in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. It happened at the Veterans Memorial Invitational Tournament in Egg Harbor on Saturday. Did you guys see the videos of this? Ridiculous. The videos show the kids getting into a fight on the court, which led to some of the coaches coming out onto the court as well as some of the parents.

In the video, you can see there was one. It was, I guess, a mom, a woman, like punching a dude in the face. Wow. While he's on the ground. That's my mom. Well, it's really weird because the fight from what I saw, and I only saw the quick video clip, it's a brawl amongst the kids. So they're fighting. Right.

And then the officials and the coaches come out and are trying to break it up. And these kids are not breaking up. They're continuing to fight. Right, right. So a parent sees their kid getting hit. They're trying to get in between the two kids. And then it leads the parents to punching the one kid that won't stop hitting the other kid. And it's like, would the word be pandemonium? It was pandemonium. You can kind of understand it. Maybe. You're seeing your kid.

being pummeled and they're not being backed off. It might be my instinct to get in there and stop that. You think that was the kid? That she was punching? Yeah, I think that's another adult. I don't know, Kath. It's hard to tell. They were kind of blurring some of it.

Yeah, you're right. They blurred out the kids' faces. Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know. So now police say charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct are forthcoming for some of the adults involved and will likely be announced on Wednesday. Police point out it's not the job of referees who are seen in the video to break up the fights. The coaches need to control their bench, and if the parents are out of control, the coaches should ask them to leave, police say. All right, so I've actually gone out onto the court one time saying,

I wasn't a parent. I was an older brother, but my younger brother was playing box lacrosse, and he got cheap-shotted, and then it's like I watched it happen in slow motion. The hit that my brother took was a cheap shot. It was total crap, but...

After he got hit, the dude turned around and I watched my brother and it was slow motion. I watched him like tomahawk chop this guy over the head. With his lacrosse stick? With his lacrosse stick. And I was like, no! I'm like, whatever you do,

Don't do that! And I ran out onto the court. Yeah. And I grabbed him. And that's like when pandemonium took place. Because these are like old teens. That's the point at which your mother side jumped over the rail. But I was the mother. I was the parent in that situation. And I ran out onto the court and dragged him off. Stuff like that happens in a second. And you're like, what am I witnessing? What am I doing? What am I doing? Exactly. That's what I was thinking. Oh, my God. What am I doing?

I just want to practice. Had the kids just broken up the fight or the fight ended, it would have ended there. But now both of the teams are suspended from the tournament, so none of the kids can play. Mapleshade Cadet A and Philadelphia Frenzy Cadet A each put out statements saying they accept any disciplinary action from the American Ball Hockey Alliance.

The president of the Egg Harbor Township Street Hockey Association, which hosts the tournament, emphasized that none of its players were involved in the incident and that the behavior will not be tolerated at future tournaments. I used to love playing ball hockey as a kid. Yeah. It was always a lot of fun. Yeah. Actually, both of my brothers played in deck hockey. We call it a deck hockey league. Yeah. If you didn't have skates on, it was deck hockey. That's what we call it. And, man, I'll tell you what. There were a ton of fights in the parking lot. Keith Love's a good chance to fight. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, in sports this morning. Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy.

What the f*** is that? The Phillies were off yesterday and resumed the series against the Colorado Rockies tonight. Zach Wheeler will get the start at 645. The Sixers lost their ninth straight game, falling to the Knicks 105-91 last night in New York. What the f*** is this? OGN and OB scored 27 points to lead the Knicks to the win. Former Knicks guard Quentin Grimes scored 26 points for the Sixers, who used their 52nd different starting lineup of their injury-prone season.

The Sixers are back home tomorrow night and will host the Milwaukee Bucks at 7 o'clock. The Flyers, who have won three games in a row, have only six games left in the regular season. They're off until Saturday. They'll travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. The Bucs will drop on Saturday at 7 o'clock. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

And that's what I have for you this morning.

And we also have an announcement. An event is coming up. We just had an announcement the other day about the presidency of 20 Money, which is going to start on Monday. You chance to win $1,000 five times a day. We'll keep reminding you of that. But there's another thing that you contribute and be a part of that we will tell you about a little later on this morning. We also have joining us today, Finn Wolfhard, who you know from Stranger Things. Yes. Among other things. He and...

His co-director of a film called Hell of a Summer, his name is Billy Burke, is going to be joining us too. So they both wrote and directed this film together. It's going to be in theaters on Friday. So we will talk to Finn and Billy a little late in the program, like close to 10 a.m. today. So it's a last minute.

interview that we'll do. Other than that, like Steve said, we're going to expand on Val Kilmer's death. Unfortunately, I was just sad to see this morning, but we'll get to that in the entertainment report and a few other things that we will chat about and have a hang with you today. So we'll take a quick break, come back in a moment, the stupid question, and yes, that entertainment report is actually a lot of stuff in there. We'll be back, so stay with us. The course of your travels this morning, dear friends.

Hi, I'm Steven Singer. Yep, that's me, the I Hate Steven Singer guy. People ask, what does this mean, I hate Steven Singer? Well, most other jewelers love to sell diamond studs that are cheap. They have a name for it, frozen spit. I'm serious. That's what other jewelers call their own products.

Frozen spit. Can you imagine buying a cloudy diamond that's milky color? Oh my. Buy real diamonds from a real jeweler. Steven Singer Jewelers, who backs up every diamond with a real lifetime full trade-in value. The best money-back guarantee in the business. Here's why. Other jewelers hate our beautiful and needed diamond studs because ours are 100% eye-flawless and near-colorless.

beautiful stuff. They come complete with our 14-carat safety silicone backs, so she never has to worry about losing them or outgrowing them because our diamonds are such nice quality that we offer everyone a lifetime upgrade. You can trade in your Anita Diamond studs and get exactly what you paid for them. I wish I could trade in my old iPhone and get what I paid.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. And everybody, welcome back. Nick McElwain. Hey! To the program. All for a day yesterday. Feeling a little under the weather. How are we doing today? Well, it's better to be here than to be sleeping on the bathroom floor, which is what I was doing for about 24 hours yesterday into last night.

I was puking like a champ. Oh. Yeah, good times. Use a toilet bowl as a cooling against your forehead. I had the wherewithal to bring a pillow into the bathroom. I was talking to Steve about this this morning. A cool tile actually feels good sometimes. It does. So that's my thing that I'm susceptible to, which is that 24-hour, maybe 48-hour stomach virus. When you're going through that and you're retching, you know, Preston, and you can sleep on the cool tiles of the bathroom. It is. And then all you have to do is lift your head up and vomit. Yeah, yeah.

You know, when the moon hits you. It's perfect. I woke up at about 1230 Monday night, Tuesday morning, and the entire bed was soaked with sweat. It was disgusting. So like it was a sprint from the bedroom to the bathroom. No, the ceiling. Yeah, but it's better to be back here. All right. So stupid question. We're going to give away four pack of tickets. It's MMR Rocks and Monster Energy Supercross Saturday, April 12th at the link. Here's your question.

It's kind of a straight-ahead history question. What was the last battle of the American Revolution? Do you happen to know that? Text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. We fought a revolution? We did fight a revolution. And let's see if you know what the last battle of that was. So text in the word ZOOM, and we'll see if you can get on board with us. Got some cool birthdays to mention today. What we're waiting for...

Your check-in today is the second day of April, and actor Michael Fassbender... Yes. ...turns a year older. Terrific Magneto. Yeah. And in fact, the depiction of him, it's heart-wrenching, that moment in the movie series...

When he tries to get a normal life and has a family, just simply by trying to save someone's life, he gets exposed and it ruins everything. Yep. He and actress, I always forget about this, Alicia Vikander have been married since 2017. They live in Lisbon, Portugal.

He is 48 years old today. We'll stay in the MCU. Clark Gregg, Phil Coulson, the heart and soul, the Avengers, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He turns 63 years old today. I saw him recently in...

Zero Day. Oh, yeah. That Robert De Niro movie on Netflix. How was that? I liked it. Yeah? Or actually, it was a series. It was a limited series. I enjoyed it. They kept me... They brought you along for the ride. It's basically what happens to the sweat hogs after high school, correct? Don't ruin it for everybody. So he's 63 today. Christopher Maloney. Hey! Blah.

Law and Order SVU is 64 years old. There's a lot of t-shirt commercials now for copper, whatever that crap is. Copper fit. Yeah, copper fit. But people don't realize the dude is actually very funny. Yeah, he is. And has been in Wet Hot American Summer. He's the cafeteria guy. Nick, you're a fan of this. And the sequel. And the sequel. He's self-deprecating too. He knows he's in great shape and he has fun with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I think is cool. So he's 64 years old today. All right.

Two alumni from the kindergarten cop film celebrated birthday today. Pamela Reed and Linda Hunt both have the same birthday. So Pamela Reed was Arnold's partner who got sick, and that's why he ended up having to be the teacher. She was originally going to be the teacher in the movie, and she's been in Parks and Recreation. She's been in a bunch of... I like her. Tons of stuff. She's very good. She was in that Robin Williams movie where they go back...

And played football. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. She is the wife. Remember the times? No. Kurt Russell started it with him as well. Rudy. It's not Rudy. Listen, I am attracted to Pamela Reed. She's cute. Always had a thing for her. I loved Kindergarten Cop.

I laughed so hard at that movie. The scenes with the kids and Arnold are funny. It's great. Well worth it. And so Linda Hunt, she played the principal. She's great in movies like Silverado. Oh, she's terrific. She's actually a great actress. She turns 80 years old today. The best of times. The best of times. That's it. That's it. It was a fun movie. So happy birthday to Linda Hunt as well. Jesse Plemons.

Speaking of Zero Day, he is in that as well. Plays the chief of staff, actually. And, yeah, Breaking Bad. Boy, he was a bad guy big time in that movie. He's over that show. I'm sorry. A mean bastard in Black Mass. Yes. He's in The Irishman. We were just talking about Black Mary's in one of the really cool episodes there. Just saying.

There's a sequel to that episode in the new season. Yeah, so he turns 37 years old today. Oh, ultimate badass, Pedro Pascal.

Celebrates a big birthday today. He is... I'm playing three different themes as we speak right now. Game of Thrones as well? Yep. He turns 50 years old. Steve, two days ago, I just finished re-watching the first season of The Last of Us because I'm getting ready. April 13th is when the new season rolls out. It is so damn good! Oh my God, is that show fantastic. I just... I'm thrilled that they're not going...

hog wild with incorporating the second game into this because I want more Pedro Pascal. It'll be great. And his character would not extend that much longer. He is terrific and the dynamic is terrific. Listen, so I'm very excited for the new season and Preston, this Friday, the extended new trailer for Fantastic Four drops. I've been watching all of those and he plays Mr. Fantastic. Yes, he does. I'm very much looking forward to that. I love this guy. He is on my bucket list.

of people I want to talk to and actually somebody I want to hang out with. Do you know what he's excellent in? He's excellent in the second Equalizer movie. He's the bastard. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's like a former government worker agent. Yeah, that's right. 50 years old today. So happy birthday, Pedro Pascal. Great singer, Emmylou Harris. She's a legendary country singer. Don't I make my brown eyes blue? 78 years old today. No, that's

Crystal Gale. Crystal Gale. Yeah. Emmylou Harris. What would I know her? She did a lot of really great work with Linda Ronstadt. That's right. And Dolly Parton. And they would do these trio vocal things that would just blow your mind. She's got a really high pitch as a soprano. And she's done work with Mark Knopfler and just all these great musicians throughout the years. Dave Matthews, too. 78 years old today. Wow. Wow.

Then we have Steve from Wednesday. She played Enid, Emma Myers. Love her. She's cute. Yes. Good Girl's Guide to Murder also was a hit for her. She turns 23 years old today. All right, let's see if we got a Zoomer who might know the answer to this question. And it looks like we do. The question is, what was the last battle of the American Revolution? Let's check in with Betty. Hey, Betty. Hey.

Hey, Preston. Get Zooks. Get Zooks. Get Zooks to you. Okay, Betty, do you happen to know what the last battle of the American Revolution was? Yorktown. Hey! Correct. Looks like Betty's got her jammies. Are you still in? And they're good. They look stylish. Jealous.

All right, Betty, hang on. We're going to set you up. You just got yourself some tickets to the Monster Energy Supercross, and that's Saturday, April 12th, Lincoln Financial Field. Tickets are on sale now. Visit supercrosslive.com for all the details. Thank you, Betty. All right, yeah, Kathy led the news with this. This is just such sad news to see. Val Kilmer, who starred in some of the biggest movies of the 1980s and 90s, including Top Gun and Batman Forever and Tombstone and so on, we'll go through the list, passed away at the age of 65.

His role as Jim Morrison in The Doors was absolutely legendary. Tombstone as Doc Holliday, real genius, top secret.

He passed away of pneumonia yesterday in L.A. His daughter, Mercedes, oh, this is from The End of Real Genius. Yeah, it's terrific. She said that her father had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014. He had later recovered. Tracheotomy surgery affected his voice and curtailed his acting career, but he returned to the screen, of course, to reprise his role.

as Iceman alongside Tom Cruise in 2020. He was Top Gun Maverick, which he was amazing in that too. How fantastic that Cruise pushed for that, insisted on that. It gave him such a wonderful coda to that role. It meant the world to him. It showed you what dear friends they were. Yep.

Were you tearing up in that scene in the movie? Oh, God, yes. Oh, my God. Absolutely. So I just watched the documentary that he had put together. It was his son. So good. About him. You've seen it, yes? I've seen it. Yes, super touching in how he was moving along. And I'm sorry to interrupt. No, no, but I was. In that documentary, it's almost all footage that Val himself shot with camcorders while he was going to

acting school, while he was on set at all these different legendary films, while he was going through treatment and all this stuff. Everything. And his son narrates it and his son sounds exactly like that. So his son did a bit of the looping for his lines in Maverick. Wow. You know what's interesting about that documentary, just from a personal perspective, and his...

what happened in Top Gun Maverick is it kind of prepared me for his death. It did. Watching the documentary, it really was like, we're going to celebrate this man while he's still alive. But when he passed, when I saw the news today, yes, I was sad,

saddened by it, but I also felt like I was a little prepared for it. Does that make any sense? No, I know exactly what you mean, yes, because a lot of it is about his treatment and his life and his spirituality. It's very important to him. Yeah, and he was also... The thing I didn't know about him is how...

he was, how deeply bohemian and he was into the craft and not just acting but expression and art and all this stuff. And he admits it made him difficult to work with a couple directors he just did not jibe with. But the thing was, Nick, to extend on what you were saying, I felt prepared because it seemed he was prepared for his death. He lived the way he wanted to. He was, in fact, in the documentary, even

I didn't include a clip of him at his worst when he really had fresh surgery because that's not the way... You don't want to hear that. That's not what he was. But what he achieved in life, I mean...

How many, I must watch Tombstone 8 to 12 times a frigging year. It's on all the time. Steve, you just mentioned that the documentary that they did on him? Yes. Yeah, in that, I guess he had commented, and I don't know if it was directly related to the throat cancer and the surgeries and all of that, but he said, I behaved poorly, I behaved bravely. So I didn't know if that was like he was,

connecting it to that. So he was, he was talking about the way he went through the treatment, but also he did, he was known and he admitted it, talking about Preston's observation about his artiness, as that sometimes he, certainly Joel Schumacher hated his guts during the making of Batman Forever, that's why he didn't return to do Batman, and he was difficult, but people he admired, like Michael Mann on Heat, Mm-hmm.

He was a dream. And like in the movie Tombstone, you talk to Kurt, you know, you see Kurt Russell in interviews and he's like, the guy was just top notch. Yeah, let's play a couple of clips. Let's go back to the beginning of his career. Real genius.

Which I still, I love his character so much. And to be that, Casey, that dramatic and artsy an actor, but to be able to do movies like Real Genius and Top Secret and be that funny. I ended up, I bought Real Genius for Nick. Did you ever watch that? I did. Yeah, I watched it on a plane one time. Yeah, because you hadn't seen it. I was like, wow, that's like a seminal 80s movie right there. Yeah. Here's a clip from that.

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to know you at all. I don't care. I can't stand it. Have you ever seen a body like this before in your life? She happens to be my daughter. Oh, well, then I guess you have. Coming down? No, seriously, listen. If there's ever anything I can do for you or more to the point to you, you let me know, okay?

Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis? Not right now. A girl's got to have her standards. Susan. I love it. It's great. I mean, he delivers so many lines. Just casual throw-off lines that really take some comedic chops to deliver properly. And then in Top Secret where he's playing more, he's reacting to what's around him. Great lines. Great. You know what I love about him, too, is he...

He had these little talents as well. So in Real Genius, I see him do it, and he does it later on in Tombstone with the coin rolling it through his fingers. And so in Real Genius, he's doing it with both hands, like just flowingly, like a close-up magician would do. And then he does it again in Tombstone, and he just had these little talents that were just amazing. If you're talking about... We can go on and on, but Tombstone has, to me... If you're talking about...

Yeah.

Yeah, wow. He did school specials after that and then Real Genius, then Top Gun. Like his fourth movie was Top Gun. And the underwater fight scene in Top Secret is one of my all-time favorite scenes in any movie ever. It's unbelievably brilliant. Well, it's a bar room fight, an old saloon fight underwater. Underwater. With people casually sitting at tables underwater. The choreography alone, Steve, should have won an Oscar. I think he talks about that in the documentary because of how difficult it was to do. They also do a scene in Top Secret that is completely...

in reverse. It's amazing. I mean, everything from Peter Cushing looking through the magnifying glass and his eyes. It's great. Let's play a clip from Tombstone. Here we go. Well, I didn't think you had it in you. I'm your huckleberry. Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave. If I start with you, Holiday, I'll beg to differ, sir.

We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember? I was just fooling about. I wasn't. And this time, it's legal.

He was so good in that. You know what I love about him is when he says, not me, I'm in my prime, when he says that line, he does this little thing where he just purses his lips just ever so slightly as in kind of, you know, don't mess with me. You're cute. Yeah, that's so sweet. But he's just, you know, just subtle facial expressions.

gestures. I love the exchange where he's actually insulted Wyatt Earp. He's hurt because Wyatt Earp doesn't know the levels of his friendship. Here's another one. Top Gun. Let's go to that. The original Top Gun. Here we are. Obviously it's Iceman. Our deck get out of here. We nailed that bird. You guys really are cowboys. What's your problem Kazansky? You're everyone's problem.

That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous. That's right. Nice, man.

I am dangerous. Maverick, you and Goose get your butts out of that flight gear and up to Viper's office now. Ice. Man. The teeth click. What Maverick did was make Top Gun, which was always cheesy, better. Yeah. Because it gave it extra context. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I know. People love the movie. They love the movie. And I just feel that Maverick's just a better movie on the whole. Oh, by far. Preston, you've never watched all of Heat, right? No. It's a commitment. It's like three hours long and it's a Michael Mann movie and there are parts where it's a long, slow build. But he, in that movie, is just... It's an ensemble cast, but he's incredible and the...

scene takes the cake, but there are subtle acting moments by Val Kilmer in that movie too, where he has, there's this part with him where he has to figure out if he's going to go back to his wife or not, and you see his acting in his face and on her face. It's brilliant. He's a really incredible actor. You guys ever see The Ghost in the Darkness? Yeah. In Africa with the lion. Yeah. And Michael Douglas is in there as well. There were two lions, Preston, that attacked this village.

I believe it's a true story. One line was called The Ghost and the other one was called The Darkness. Really, really good movie. It's like Tango and Cash. A little bit like that. Actor Josh Gad posted, RIP Val Kilmer, thank you for defining so many of the movies in my childhood. You truly were an icon. See you, pal. I'm going to miss you. Josh Brolin wrote alongside a picture of himself and Kilmer on Instagram, you were a smart, challenging, brave, uber creative firecracker. There's not a lot left of those stories.

He grew up in middle class Los Angeles. His parents were Christian scientists, a movement to which Kilmer would adhere to for the rest of his life. At 17, he became the then youngest pupil to enroll at the Juilliard School in New York, one of the world's most prestigious drama conservatories. I think like Sean Penn might have been a contemporary of his. Yeah, yeah. That there's videos of with him together when they were young.

And, yeah, then he dove right into the business. And Top Secret, like Nick was saying, was his first movie. And then Real Genius. And, you know, it seemed like he was going to be maybe a comedic good-looking actor. Right. But then he took a turn and went into Top Gun. And...

And just, you know... And here's another one. Willow. Do you remember that movie? Willow is a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. Yeah, it was not a... They were hoping for another franchise like Star Wars. It didn't happen. That's where he met Joanne Wally, who was the female lead in Willow. And they ended up getting married. They had two kids. And then once he hit Jim Morrison in The Doors, that was a whole nother gear for him. We saw that. We were like... I was like...

Wow. Dude became him. He became Jim Morrison. Who could have played Morrison? Man. Nobody. And pulled that off. That movie, it's funny because you go back and revisit it. It depends on what mood you're in. Yeah. And sometimes it seems overly trippy and other times it seems just right. Yeah, Nick, that one's a commitment too. Not just lengthwise. Oliver Stone-wise. Yeah, Oliver Stone-wise. Exactly. Yeah.

And then, of course, he got to the spot to play Batman in Batman Forever. I know you've always touted that as one of the best of that particular run of Batman movies. Absolutely. It came at the right time because Tim Burton, who I love dearly, and I love Keaton as Batman, the one thing that was missing a lot from those first two Batman movies

was Batman. So you got to see Val Kilmer do more stuff in Batman Forever. But what a great turn for him to get back into the Top Gun sequel. Tom Cruise had said at the time, I've known Val for decades, and for him to come back and play that character, he's such a powerful actor, and he instantly became that character again. Kilmer was also an artist, often creating paintings inspired by his film roles as well. So gone too soon, 65 years. Very much so. Wow.

But the legacy lives on. Yeah, a lot of great movies. And I'm sure over the next couple of weeks, they'll be making the rounds. You'll see these movies popping up left and right. All right, on the heels of that sad story, here is an encouraging one. Jennifer Lawrence gave birth to her second child. Hey! The Hunger Games actress and her husband, Cook Maroney, or is it Cookie? I don't know. We're spotted walking around New York City on Monday following their new kid's birth.

Lawrence and Cook married in 2019 and are also parents of three-year-old son, Cy Maroney. What about Cy Analong Kong Kong? Cy Analong Kong Kong has not come along yet. What would you name the kid, Boney? Boney Maroney.

And details about the sex name and exact date of birth for the couple's new child have not yet been shared at this time. That young should not be having sex. No, it's their gender. Machine Gun Kelly has had to step in to clear up some confusion about his new kid. He confirmed last week that Megan Fox, the ex of his, had given birth to their child in a post on social media. And he wrote, she's finally here.

Our little celestial seed. Well, that post seemed to confuse some people as they thought the new kid's name was Celestial Seed. And why wouldn't you think that in Hollywood? And he went on Instagram to clear things up. He said, wait, guys, her name isn't Celestial Seed. It's Bonnie Maroney. Her mom is going to tell you the name when we are ready. So that is not the case.

The child's name will just have to wait. Are there kids? Do they have some trippy kids' names? Because they got... Brian Austin Green have a couple of kids. Yeah, I don't know the list of the names. I haven't committed them to memory. You know what? As far as trippy names are, Celeste, you'll see, is not that bad, actually. No, it's okay. You can be Celeste. Celeste, yeah. Noah, Bodie, and Journey are the kids. Okay. Noah, Bodie, Journey. Journey's the most adventurous. Yeah.

A follow-up to yesterday's and Monday's Kim Delaney stories. After being arrested along with husband James Morgan over the weekend for an epic argument that turned physical, Delaney was accused of trying to hit Morgan with her car at the height of the conflict. And now comes news that the actor will not be charged in the incident. Yes. The L.A. law is that you actually have to collide with the person. TMZ, is that really? No. Okay.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has told TMZ that it has decided not to file any charges, saying that they didn't have sufficient evidence to move forward against either of them. So to that point, I wonder...

Like, if it's a subtle swerve towards someone, you know what I'm saying? I mean, they have to have ways to reconcile what is it, if you're attempting, are you attempting to run over someone? Are you threatening, are there gradations that involve just threatening someone with an automobile? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Ah, hell. Ah, hell.

Chelsea Handler is going to do what she wants to do, but her young nephews were able to exert some influence over her. More risque life choices, that is. The comedian has made an annual tradition of posting topless skiing pictures and video to her social media.

And that may be a thing of the past. She said, I think my nephews asked me to stop. And I told them this is why I didn't have children to not have parameters set for me by children. And she said, but they said their friends at college were talking about me.

And then I thought about it and I thought, I don't want to humiliate them. You know, I don't want to be like a joke to them. So she might stop doing it. Well, I think she did. At least I saw footage of her with a whole bunch of like, it seemed like 15, 16 other women in a bikini. Well, in bra and panties skiing down the some mountain somewhere. So I don't know if that's another event. I mean, her nephews are in college age. Get over like, you know what I mean? Like, I.

Who's making fun? I mean, if I was in college and my buddy's aunt was Chelsea Handler doing that stuff, I wouldn't be making fun. And in good shape. Uh-huh. Wow. Looking at pictures of her, she has tinkered with her face. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow.

No, come on, Chell, stop it. All right, well, anyway. Duncan Idaho is back. During an appearance on Today, Jason Momoa confirmed that his Dune character will return for the forthcoming third installment of Dennis Villeneuve's epic sci-fi franchise starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya. Very cool. Yeah. Casey, you had asked me after the second movie if he was gone for good. Yeah. And I told you he was, and that's because I hadn't read Dune Messiah yet. Okay. Yeah.

Because he gets it. He comes back. Okay. So it's in the book. It's in the source material. Okay, good. He said, I'm making a comeback. You heard it first right here with you, baby. I eventually did read the book and I meant to get back to you on that because you did ask that question. But so Momoa's...

First, first appears the sword master met her to Paul Atreides in 2021. But Duncan sacrifices himself near the end of the film to allow Paul and his mother, Jessica, to escape from the Sadaqar soldiers. In the six part book series, Duncan eventually returns in the form of a clone. I asked they asked Momoa if Duncan's reappearance would follow suit.

To which Mamaw replied, well, I'm not sure if I'm going to get in trouble or not, but it's the same thing like Game of Thrones. You know what I mean? If you didn't read the books, it's not my fault, right? He said, yeah, I'm going to be coming back. So he will return, which is cool because he was amazing. What is the status of this movie's production? They're already working on it. All right. They need to because the epic continues. In fact, Steve, it's in this...

God damn jerky beef. I threw it in the trash because I didn't want to read the last part of it. But there was information on when they had noted... Filming this summer, Preston, and then the scheduled release is December 2026. Oh.

Okay, so it says here, in April 2024, development on Dune 3 was underway following the blockbuster success. So I guess, you know, writing and getting everything in place. I don't know if they started. So filming is going to start this summer? Filming this summer and then a release next December. Thank you, Nick. So,

How about this? Get ready for something that may be really big or maybe not. We'll have to see. But it was announced at CinemaCon that the Beatles biopics, all four of them, will be coming out around the same time. That's pretty wild. Calling it the first biopics.

Bingeable moment in cinema. Director Sam Mendes also confirmed the cast. Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney. Barry Keegan as Ringo Starr. And Harrison Dickinson will play John Lennon. This is Ringo. Please see my movie. With each individual musician getting his own film. Mendes did not mention how they would release individually or all at once. What do you think of that? But in theaters.

I think it's too much. I think it's way too much. I mean, you're asking a lot of people to go see four separate movies. Agreed. It's all going to tread the same story. I'm a massive Beatles fan, but yeah, it's going to touch on the same story, but I mean, I understand the individual nature of each one of these guys, because in their own right, they have gone on to do incredible things on their own, but...

Yeah, I don't know. I'm down with it. Yeah. They should turn. I'm going to see them. If they threw in the Hulk, they could make them the new Avengers. That's right. Use your laser things that come out of your eyes. I don't have lasers. I fought Shrapnel. You fought Shrapnel?

Oh, God, I would love that. Please, someone make that happen. The Fantastic Four. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, yeah. So the Fab Four. The Fab Four, yeah. The Fantastic Four. I just think it's long overdue, and I'm down with, you know, all of it. I would do an entire series of each particular player. Like Ringo the series? Yeah. Tonight on Ringo. I'm happy to hear of your zeal of that, Casey. So we're looking forward to that. I'm also looking forward to this. Lions get revealed at CinemaCon that Stephen King's The Long Walk...

is hitting theaters on September 12th. This is one of his first novels. God damn, it's farther than I thought. Director, it's a wild story, man. I think it was the first Bachman book, actually. Oh, really? Director Francis Lawrence, known for The Hunger Games, called it his favorite Stephen King novel and emphasized its themes of camaraderie over competition. The dystopian horror follows 100 teenage boys in a deadly endurance test where they must walk continuously or be executed.

Yeah, it's interesting because they're followed by soldiers. They're walking. You have to keep a certain pace. If you fall back on this pace just by... You get killed? Well, they start to give you warnings. And if you can't keep it up, yeah, they'll...

shoot you on the spot, kill you. You had no time to sleep? None. Wow. Whatever you have on you is what you have. Okay. And they go until there's one person left and everybody else is dead. Oh, that has a running man sort of vibe. It's messed up. Mark Hamill will play the bad guy this time around, and he described the story as nightmare-inducing and said, if you can't be the hero, there's nothing better than being the villain.

Lionsgate also showed off a trailer at the convention featuring Hamill firing a starting gun and declaring, walk until there's only one of you left. So they don't have the butcher of Bakersfield, but they have the dry cleaner of Bakersfield. Okay. It was less notorious. Yeah, yeah.

So let's see what else we got here. We got time. Yeah, yeah. So the merging of two Karate Kid worlds, the OG Daniel LaRusso world and the Mr. Han world can now be seen in a new trailer for the Karate Kid Legends. Why?

Watched it. It looks great. It does look good. Ralph Macchio's Daniel, Jackie Chan's Mr. Han come together to teach a new student and to merge the teachings of Han and Miyagi. The story, three years after the events of Cobra Kai, Kung Fu Parody, Leaf, I'm sorry, after the events of Cobra Kai,

Kung Fu prodigy, Lee Fong, who's played by Ben Wang, is forced to move from Beijing to New York City. He struggles to fit in with his new classmates, and although he doesn't want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere. So Daniel gets called in, and I can't wait for this. We want you on this. This is the perfect hand job. Hand job.

So, that movie, let's see. There's no date that has been set yet for it. No release date. But they have the trailer. And if you want to see it, you can go check that out. There's so many good things. I know we had, obviously, deservedly so, spent a lot of time with Al Kilmer. But there's a couple more things, Case. I know we're running over. Keep going. I want to get to these. Channel your inner Oliver Stone. A lot of these speak to our personal fandom. CinemaCon was a source of a lot of movie news. But perhaps the biggest data drop came recently.

For John Wick fans, it was announced that after much speculation, a fifth John Wick film has gotten the green light. While that is the biggest news, it's not all the news. Blind assassin Kane, who was introduced in John Wick 4, will get his own standalone film to be directed by and starring Donnie Yen.

And finally, an animated John Wick prequel film is in the works with Keanu Reeves set to voice his iconic character. No dates for any of the projects have been set. So again, they have this and they have Ballerina coming out. So that is now a dairy cow that they're milking. And when that starts to happen, I think it dilutes the property. So we'll see. Yeah, it could. All right. And speaking of diluting the property, we'll see how this goes. But Hulu is officially giving the green light to The Testaments.

which is a sequel series to The Handmaid's Tale. The sequel series is based on a 2019 book of the same name from author Margaret Atwood. The book is set in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead more than 15 years after The Handmaid's Tale.

And the series follows a new generation of women who grew up in Gilead who have never known what life is like living in the outside world. And facing a bleak future, the women will have to find a way to fight for a better life. And production on The Testament starts April 7th. The final season of The Handmaid's Tale premieres on April 8th. And then completely done. The series is completely done at that point. Yes. This will be the final season of that. Do you see a Karate Kid crossover with this? No, I don't see it. What?

The Handmaid's Dojo? They got to fight. They got to learn. All right. I have other stuff, but we're going to have to save it maybe for something like that. Damn! We'll play clips now if you guys are cool with that.

Netflix's Love on the Spectrum finds young adults on the autism spectrum and pairs them with a potential partner. And in this clip, Abby's mom, Christine, talks about the process of getting her daughter cast on the show. The producer, Kian, went to many autism programs looking for just different people and meeting people. She was in a

theater program called Spectrum Laboratories where it's therapeutic social skills in theater. They called us and just said there's a guy who's doing some sort of maybe a documentary on relationships and autism and he wants to Zoom with you. Love on the Spectrum season three is out now on Netflix. Here's our next clip.

Teachers of Abbott Elementary are close with each other on and off camera. When put on the spot, Tyler James Williams reveals who he would switch roles with. Here we go. I'll tell you right now, sure as hell wouldn't be Quinta. That's too much work. Sure. I just, what would it be like to be Shirley Ruff? I have no idea what that's like. You're essentially a queen always. So, sure. I would love to be royalty all of the time.

Anyway. New episode of Avid Elementary will air tonight on ABC at 830. We have, Case, we have breaking news. Oh, we do? If you don't mind. Oh. I did not know that. Is this breaking news? Breaking news. Oh, no. The Kelsey's header.

Yes. And they have posted on Instagram. Whoop, there she is. Finley Ann Kelsey. So her name is Finley and she will go by Finn. Finn, I like that. And the picture is adorable of this baby. Little peanut all swaddled up with a pink hat and a blue bow on it. So that's cool news for those guys. I saw this last night. That's their third, right? No, it's their fourth. Or is it their fourth? Girl.

Shiloh. No, I'm just wondering if they go for a fifth to get that boy. Yeah. My neighbors growing up, they had six girls. And I know that they just kept going back for that boy. Oh, my cousins, they're six girls. Any twins in there? No twins. Just six girls. Wow. My mother desperately wanted a girl. But, you know, we have three sons. Yeah.

She was fine with it. And after that, Kathy, after the sixth girl, they're like, we tried. That's it. We're done. I mean, at the time when our parents were having kids, they were stopping much earlier than people are today. So it was like she had one more. Like, let's see. Just one more. I think the 17th is going to be the one. It was another girl. Yeah.

All right. Well, congratulations, guys. All right. We are going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a moment. And this forward momentum will continue on this Wednesday morning. We'll be right back. It's MMR's Local Shots, Artist of the Month. From Bridgeport, PA, it's Studweiser. ♪♪♪

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Kath. All right, I think before we dive into chit-chat, we have an announcement. Oh, yeah. Let me gather my information and have it ready to go here. Yeah, I would like to win. This event is coming up Friday, May 2nd, so we are exactly one month away from today. And again...

And we have to check the number of years this has been going on. We are announcing Kathy's Cuts. And Kathy's Cuts benefits wigs for kids, helping children look themselves and live their lives. Do you have any idea how many years now, Kathy? I think it's the 52nd. I don't know. I remember when we celebrated the 10th year, we had really cool tuxedo shirts. I do remember that. I think we're at about 8,000.

Maybe? Wow. 16. 16? Okay, 16. Marissa just brought the info in. 16 years. That's pretty amazing. Wow. What a legacy. Yeah. And this year, Kathy's Cuts is brought to you by Live Casino and Hotel Philadelphia. That's awesome. So here are the details on this. Like I said, Friday, May 2nd. And one location this year, which will make it easier for us. Yeah. So we...

There's been a couple of different iterations of this, right? Remember, we started here in the studio. Then we went downstairs to our building. We went across the way, across City Avenue to a hotel. We've been to different salons. Yeah, so it's the two same salons, Gravity Hair Salon, which they have been with me since day one, and they've now expanded. They actually have three locations, Ambler Plymouth Meeting, and they're opening a brand new location in Flower Town. Wow.

Vibe Salon, which is in Mount Laurel. They joined us a couple of years ago. They're awesome. The girls at their salon are so cool. So I'm really excited that it's these two salons. And we're going to go back to True Beauty Concepts in Southampton. So this is kind of a workshop space, a...

like, hairstyling workshop space. Nice. They hold different classes for hairstylists, and so they have this big, beautiful stone room. It's set up perfect for this event. So the two salons will be there, will be at one location, True Beauty Concepts in Southampton, and that's where all of the appointments will be. I gotta believe this is one of the biggest...

events that is done as far as hair donation goes. Because a lot of times I'll hear, I'll catch news stories of so-and-so held this event and there were 12 people that donated their hair and stuff. But you get lots of people to do this. You know what? So it's hard because it's basically an appointment an hour. So it takes time. You can't just filter through everybody. It's like you're shearing a sheep. Yeah, because they are. They're getting their hair cut and styled. You're going to leave with a short

So it takes a little while. So, yeah, I mean, you know, if you have a couple of stylists that do this, you can get, you know, a decent amount. But, you know, we're fortunate enough to have these two big salons involved. And so we can fill this room and get a bunch of people through. So you need at least 14 inches of hair measured from the base of the ponytail to donate. And it will be, like Kathy said, cut and styled by the talented men and women of Gravity Hair Salon and Vibe Salon. Each donor gets a gift bag from True Beauty Concepts.

a Kathy's Cuts t-shirt and refreshments from Dunkin'. Nice. Appointments are required. So, you can now go to PrestonAndSteve.com and sign up. And also, you can get the complete donor guidelines. There might be something in there that can keep you from donating.

So you want to check those guidelines. And because it's now reconsolidated into one location, Kathy will be there. Yeah. And it'll be a wonderful thing in case you're saying, oh, do I, am I going to get to meet Kathy or hang out with Kathy or borrow money from Kathy? She will be there. I can't lend you money. I'm so sorry. Yeah. And so it's 14 inches or longer. And that's,

those requirements changed over the years and it's just the way that the wigs are made. We actually spoke to a representative from Wigs for Kids. It's the way the wigs are made. So just make sure you measure because sometimes people will think their hair is long enough and it's not. And the best way to get these wigs to the kids is to make sure that your hair is long enough. Yep. So the event, again, mark the calendar Friday, May 2nd, but more importantly, make the appointment right now because they fill up very quickly and there are people that

grow their hair in anticipation of this event. So press sinistee.com to get signed up. Yeah, and I love it. This time of year, the emails start filtering in, right? So I'd say the past month or so, people are like, I've been growing my hair. I'm waiting for the announcement. When is it? I got to get off from work.

So, you know, I've been replying back to all of the emails saying that the details are coming soon. It's here. It's Friday, May 2nd. And sign up at WMMR.com. And like those emails, Kathy, also we start getting ones and they've already started filtering in about the blood drive. So we will have information very, very soon on that too. But we just had a major announcement on Monday. We had one today.

We'll wait a little bit. We'll get to the other one. But it's getting that time of year where we have all these events coming up. Do you know what I love about the Kathy's Cuts event is that the guys have been doing a strong showing every year, getting exponentially more, showing up with really long hair, right? Yeah. You see a whole ton of guys. And there are some guys that have, you know, because a lot of times the women will cover...

color their hair. Not all men color their hair. So sometimes you get beautiful hair from these guys. I remember these two guys, I think it was last time we were at True Beauty. They've donated a couple of times. I believe they were two teachers and they came out and they had like this thick, really nice hair and it was so long, long enough for them to do this. They cut it and they look great. So I know they come back every few years. So hopefully I'll see them this year. Excellent. Kathy's Cuts, it's underway, gang. Give me a head with

Press finnesteeve.com to get the details. All right. Besides that, there are surveys that have taken place. And we need to share the results with you, my friend. It's time for SurveySys.

And I saw this article, I saw this survey. It was 1,000 U.S. adults that were surveyed by Eric Insurance. There's an Eric Insurance? Yeah, it's a one-man operation. Okay, I guess. What happened? Maybe I can pay. I think Eric called 1,000 people.

Nearly half. Yes, Eric. So it has to do with people falling asleep behind the wheel. Man. Nearly half of respondents reported struggling to get enough rest. But more specifically, about 14% of Americans admit that they have actually fallen asleep behind the wheel since 2020. So, Preston, if you were to look back at your life and touring and your rock days and

huffing it all over the place to get your career going. I'm sure you have a number of moments where this happened. It happened to me a couple of times. There were probably two specific times that I remember

I'm in the car veering off the road and waking up and going, oh, my God. And it was those were my quote unquote, pardon the pun, wake up calls to don't at the moment you feel drowsy. Yeah. Stop. So two things. The cardboard classic I've determined of all the events throughout the year is the one where this is most likely to happen. Yeah. So I had set in my mind I had an absolute will stop, must stop, rest stop. OK. There's it. And I did. And it was great. Yeah.

The one time where I had my absolute, I've had some near brushes. I was on the turnpike here.

And I was driving along and I used to do a morning show in Manhattan, come down and do with WDRE. When I first started working with Preston, we'd do a callback. He'd be at the station at DRE and I'd be at the Riverdeck Cafe. I would leave late. It was a long day. Preston, I was driving back on the Turnpike and one of the, they're not there anymore, the rest stop, you know, they used to have some that are now completely gone. I found myself driving at about,

55 miles an hour into the rest stop. Oh my God, dude. So I would have driven off a cliff or whatever by the sheer luck of

I had veered into the access, the entrance. Wow. So you exited by accident. I exited by accident and got interceded and saved my life because I would have otherwise, whatever would have been to the side of the road, I would have collided with. My mom and I are both guilty of this. Not necessarily falling asleep and veering off of the road, but like driving, we get...

I think it's like the sun that's beating down on you, even if it's cold outside, like the warmth, whatever it is. So she has like a certain point where like she cuts it off. She's like, I'm not driving after seven o'clock or, you know, whatever it is. Smart. She gets up really early and she just gets tired. And I, same thing. And now with,

cell phones, I will call someone and I'll talk to someone on the phone. So if I'm talking on the phone, I'm usually okay. If there's no one to talk to, I got to put the windows down. Or I used to all the time from college, and I only lived an hour away from Westchester University, and it was before cell phones

Just kidding. I'm not really. I would come through the toll plaza getting onto the turnpike or off the trip, whatever, and I would pull over and that was like my sleeping spot because I'm like, I'm not going to make it. I'm falling asleep. So I would have to pull over and fall asleep. But now with phones, I just call someone and as long as I'm talking, I'm okay. By the way, a few people are texting in that maybe it's eerie insurance and not

Eric insurance that this might be a typo. I have your insurance. That's my car insurance. It is? Yeah. Okay, sorry, guys. That's really funny. We talk about falling asleep behind the wheel. I think of long-haul truckers.

Yeah. It's a massive liability case. They have safety measures in place where you're only allowed to drive X amount of hours a day. Cocaine. Listen, I don't know if this is the case or not, but you guys remember Lisa Dennis, right? Yes. She was a bod quad. She's a driver now. Dude.

I think her and her husband, Tony, are long-haul truckers together. Awesome. They drive in the same vehicle. That I don't know. She's a bus driver. I was under the impression she was driving solo, but I guess that'd be something. Yeah, Marissa's giving me the thumbs up that they do it together. And I wonder what the case, if you are a long-haul trucker, and let's say you're only allowed to drive 10 hours a day, but you have a partner with you. Co-pilot. Co-pilot. Are you then able to travel? I would imagine she's behind the wheel. I don't know.

if that's true because I know where she works. She's a bus driver. No, no, no. What Casey's saying, she updated her job so that now they can do like double the amount of work because they can get one job in with two people. That's cool. And they're together all the time. So how cute and romantic. Back to the survey. When drivers start feeling especially drowsy, they try to stay awake by drinking a caffeinated beverage at 63%.

Turning up the music, 62%, which is what I would try to do, Kathy, and rolling down the windows. Smoking cigarettes, that was my thing when I was a smoker. Like, light up a cigarette, put the windows down, and go. 58% said that, and then 28% said talking to someone on the phone as well, Kat. So these are typical mechanisms. So I'm old enough to be before cell phone. But besides that, Preston, I would have many a time. It couldn't be caffeine. Caffeine won't keep me awake. I had to get like a big...

Coke or something, a soda, something with a lot of sugar. And there'd be times, Preston, where I'd be driving along literally pounding on my leg like... Yeah, wake up. Yeah, exactly. So if you do feel overly drowsy, you need to find a place to pull over. I've several times driving from here on Friday to Wildwood,

I'd stop off at Millville, New Jersey. You have to. There's like a Lowe's and pull in the parking lot and pass out for 20 minutes. Take yourself a moment because if you do make a mistake and you make the wrong mistake, it'll be the last mistake. And, you know, I haven't flirted with it. And, Kathy, to your point, I used to leave Manhattan when I was doing a morning show there. And when I would leave Manhattan coming to the tunnel, the sun would be blaring through the windshield. And it was awful.

All you could do to stay awake, I'd have to pull over like in Sheepshead Bay and just sit in a parking lot because it was so hot.

Yeah, Pierre literally has a running list of places to take naps in and around the Philadelphia area because he falls asleep. Or when he miss books his hotel. What's that? When he miss books his hotel room. Oh, yeah. But, you know, he'll also find places, Steve, where it's shady so he doesn't have the sun beating through the window of the car. You know, so like he knows exactly where to go take a nap. Real quick. This says, I'm a truck driver. When we run teams...

One of us sleeps in the back while the other drives and then you switch. Great for long haul trips. Okay. Yeah, you can do that. That's what messed up, um, uh, with the Tracy Morgan accident, right? There was a truck driver had not had any sleep for like 48 hours. It was a Walmart truck, right? Walmart truck. Yeah. And I think they changed some of the rules and regulations cause there were deaths involved. All right, we're going to move on to another one. But first, uh,

We're going to go to a Zoom. We have Dave who's got a comment about falling asleep at the wheel. Hi, Dave. What's up, buddy? Gadzooks, guys. How you doing? Gadzooks, my man. We're doing well. All right. You fell asleep one time? One time. I used to work in Quorum, Long Island at a paintball field. Okay. And we did our big game, which is an annual thing. It's like the weekend long. I was driving back at about 10 o'clock at night on the Belt Parkway, if you're familiar with Long Island, New York. Yes, I am.

And it's a Sunday, so it's late. And Bell Parkway doesn't normally have traffic on a Sunday night. I remember passing Cross Bay Boulevard. And next thing in my brain, I was still driving. But I literally woke up right at Sheepshead Bay, and I thought I was at Ocean Parkway. So you lost a chunk of your travel.

Oh, hell yeah. I could not figure out what was going on, and that has stuck with me. So since then, it's now, you know, I just pull over. Yeah. Good call on that. You're right. And to everything that we've said, you learn that whether just pick a point, pick a point along the way,

Even if you're not feeling tired, just pull over, get a soda, sit for a minute or whatever. It's going to make a world of difference. Because how terrified were you when you kind of, I guess, woke up and realized you had missed all of that? I was like petrified. But the thing is, I did that drive so long. I did it for four years. Yeah. Because I lived in Brooklyn, but I worked in Coram. And I did that drive every day, six days a week. It's like I...

I guess muscle memory took over, but... Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I woke up, I freaked out, pulled off, pulled off, and she said, hey, pulled into the United Artists Theater, and I was just like, what just happened? What happened? Yeah. Wow, that's scary. All right, thanks, Dave. Appreciate it, buddy. And here's a text that came in and said somebody, they keep smelling salts.

That's a good idea. Oh, my God. Like the sports guys do to get them fired up and ready to go. Yes. Wake your ass up. I love that idea. Then go pull over and sleep. All right. So thank you, Eric Insurance, for that information. Eric Insurance. All right. The only insurance you need. Next survey.

This one is interesting. This is a GoDaddy spoke to U.S. consumers and they found out that weirdly spelled website names freak people out. Okay. So they were asking consumers about what they consider red and green flags when it comes to businesses' website names. And one thing all respondents agree on, size and spelling mistakes.

matter. This is 1,500 U.S. adults that were surveyed. The overwhelmingly majority find odd spelled website names a turnoff with 80% saying that they've avoided visiting or buying from a website because it was spelled weirdly. I've never thought of that. I know, though, it can throw some people off, I guess. Also, just in a general thing, if you're trying to

type it into the search bar and you're misspelling it, that could be a problem. I usually go by, like if I see something on Instagram, you know, it's an ad. And just recently I saw these bathing suits that I really liked. And I will never click on the actual link that's on Instagram, you know, where it says like shop now. I don't really buy it. Yeah. X hamster. No, I'll always go there. But yeah, but especially if it's like,

a weirdly spelled website. I'm like, it just seems like it's a scam or something. What do you mean weirdly spelled? Like Sheehan. People read Sheehan and they're like, what is that? Sheen? Shane? That's not spelled weird. That's how you would spell that word, right? Well, it's two different words into one. People mispronounce it all the time. And so I think that that's sort of an odd thing.

um, odd spelling for it. I don't know. I'm just trying to come up with an example. It'd be like clever. Go ahead. Well, I'll, I'll explain some of the details. Nearly three quarters expect businesses to maintain a dedicated website and have a lot of thoughts about what makes a good domain name. What they want most is short, easy to read names that are easy to pronounce. Consumers say a memorable domain name should include full words spelled correctly. 43% say that 40% say be two words or less. Uh,

38% say they need to be easy to say. And then 19% said they need to be funny, rhyming, or punny. Well, you know, sometimes if a domain is already taken, like they'll take one letter out. Right. And then it's spelled incorrectly. And what he's saying is that throws people off.

Yeah, right, John, exactly. Consumers are skeptical of domain names with misspelled words, and sometimes they misspell them on purpose. Yes. Or that they don't match the business's name. But some people just see that as a bizarre little red flag to go, I'm not doing business. No.

If they're spelling, you know, Kong Kong with a K instead of a C. Kong Kong. Kong Kong dot com. Yeah. I'll tell you what my turnoff is. It's not necessarily that. I mean, I would look at that. But once you get to the website, what it looks like. If it doesn't look professional enough for me, I'm not going to purchase from it and I'm not going to stay on it. It's the thing. I mean, you can tell immediately a crap site and I'm off it in two seconds. Or...

Like a, if there's, if it just looks like a, like a, like a,

machine type, you know, somebody, you gotta have a little pizzazz is what I'm saying. And there's, I can also pick out a lot of small businesses will use Shopify or WooCommerce sites like that. And like the Shopify website, a lot of them look the same because it's just a template and you put your stuff in there. So although it may not look as professional as I would like, I know that it's Shopify and I know that it's likely safe. Here's a real nerdy one for you. Google, the website is misspelled.

If you're going to use the number Google, which is one with 100 zeros, it's G-O-O-G-O-L.

Oh, no kidding. But the easy, quote-unquote smart way to spell it is the way that the website spells it. But if you wanted to spell it the way the numbers actually spell, it's a misspelling. It's true. Somebody texted and said, stay off of Baboogle. Baboogle. Yeah, that's you don't want to go. Or Eric Insurance. Eric Insurance. Spelled with a K like in Sweden and not with a C in the U.S. All right, so I never thought of that one.

I never thought of this one either. According to the poll, a poll of 1,000 adult Americans, more than half of those polled have actually cried over pizza. Wait, what? I know. That's why I brought this up. I'm trying to think if I've ever cried over pizza. 55% of people have shed a tear over pizza at least once in their life. But what could move someone to weep?

about pizza well a multitude of things it turns out not getting the right order one common reason though someone eating the last slice of pizza yeah which has led people to cry i could see that totally right when i was a kid one of my fondest memories of um my mother was oh the pizza was all gone and my mother had had a piece on her plate and i was like

I was young enough to cry over it, so I had to be like 19. No, I was... But... And then, miraculously, a piece appeared on my plate. And my mother... I know it was my mom who gave up her piece. And I, you know... I told you, my sister and I, one of the most... Brutal fights! Intense physical fights was over the fact that I cooked and ate an entire pizza.

Yeah, like a John Wick level battle. It ended with me swinging a hockey stick at her inside the house. Oh my God. Yeah, I'm going to kill you. Inside the house. Pizza can do that. Yeah. What kind was it? Was it like a... It was like a frozen Totino's, you know, something like that. Doesn't matter. No, it wasn't that great. When you're salivating, all bets are off. Not pizza, but like I know like something stupid that I cried over. Like it just was like the dumbest thing ever. Yeah.

So ordering, another one is 13% admit crying over pizza delivery order coming out wrong. Because you ordered it, it's delivered to the house, you didn't look at it until it got there. 12% cried about their favorite pizza place closing down. Kathy? Pekas, Casey? Well, not just Pekas, but Gaetano's closed down. Okay.

I didn't, but I did, I did shed a tear over the last stand closing down. The hot dog place. Yeah, the hot dog joint. I didn't cry when my pizza place closed, but I was angry. Like we were, we were angry. We were like, well, what, what do you think we're going to do for pizza? I'm going to kill you. You have that right? Yeah. Absolutely. Where are you going to find another pizza place? And remember the new place that went in, we drove by it and Jace goes, they should be ashamed of themselves. By the way, Kath, you sent me to the Daisy Lounge in, uh,

The Daisy Tavern, yes. Daisy Tavern, I'm sorry. And I had their Detroit-style pizza and it was... Oh, okay, good. It was the OG that I ordered. It was excellent. So nearly everyone surveyed. 97% of respondents say that they would go to extremes to get pizza and many already have. This includes 13% who ignored work so they could order pizza, 12% who pretended to be someone else to get a slice of pizza, and 7% who confessed that they have faked

an emergency to get their hands on pizza. Some are even more hardcore to make sure they don't miss out on a slice like 9% who ate pizza that they had to rescue from their dog.

So their dog gets into the pizza and you'll grab it from them and end up eating that? Oh, taking it out of the garbage is something I would do. And 9% of people who admit eating pizza directly from the trash can, Steve. Yeah. So if you're saying people employ all sorts of tactics, pretend there's someone else. Pretend they have a crisis situation going on just to get the pizza. I can see that. Yep. It's all for the power of pizza. All right. Do we have time for another one? Yeah. Quick one. Yeah. Quick one because we have...

Fox Good Day. We're going to go on. Let's see. Okay, yeah, here we go. Last survey. Hibbets. Spring survey on public footwear habits has come out. Hibbets habits? Yep, Hibbets habits. Footwear habits. Millennials are 12% more likely than Gen Z to wear open-toed shoes in public.

So I'm old enough. This is all about open-toed shoes and barefoot and so on. Wait, is this men or women or both? I think both. Yeah, it just says millennials. So here you go. The most common place for open-toed shoes, grocery stores. Wait, I'm confused. Why can't you wear open-toed shoes if it's the right season? No, what they're saying is preference. Preference. Yeah. Yeah, no pros and cons, but to me...

There are some people who have issues with wearing open-toed shoes around food. Right, exactly. So going barefoot, 28% said that they have gone barefoot in a grocery store. Oh, no. No, thanks. Doesn't it say shoes and shirts required at the front? Let me ask you a question, though. Why is barefoot gross? The stuff that makes your feet gross? Yes.

is the stuff that's already on the ground. You know what I mean? I agree. Do you know what I immediately think of? Toe jam. No, my foot getting sliced by something. Yeah. Or like whatever. I'm not talking about you going barefoot. I'm talking about seeing someone else going barefoot. Why is it gross? Why would that be gross? Because all the gross stuff about going barefoot comes from the ground that you're walking on. It's not from your feet.

feet. Your feet aren't... You know what I mean? The point is, what's going to end up on your shoe is going to end up on your feet. It's the same thing. I don't know. But I mean, that's your own feet. My brother is like, if he didn't have to have shoes, he wouldn't. And whatever shoes he has, they're like the most comfortable. He just...

Something that he can just slide his foot into. I don't even think he wears sneakers or anything with a tie. Which brother? Jimmy or Chris? Christopher. And now his twins are the same way. Nobody wears shoes. About five years ago, I gave up laces. I'm like, screw this. I'm not tying my shoes anymore. It's for losers. So I wear nothing but

always, A, B, T, always be tying. Uh, sometimes I will not tie my shoes, you know, cause I'm like, I noticed that I'm just going to have to take them off when I get to the gym. Anyway, the other day they were like, Oh, your shoes are untied. You were like, yeah, I just kind of slid them on and I did tie them this morning though. Uh, restaurants top the list of places where people want to dress, uh, a dress code banning bare feet. Yeah. Uh,

The dating world is divided. 44% are fine if their date wore open-toed shoes or went barefoot in public. But 19% say they would only date someone who sticks to closed-toed shoes. Where do you fall on the foot attraction thing? Could you veer into foot fetish? It does zero for me. Zero. I'm not...

Turned on by feet. I'm not turned off by feet. Feet are just there to get you from one place to another. That's a shame. I have a site for you. I dig a nice pedicure. It doesn't get me off the same way like a manicure does. I think I'm definitely...

I don't want to use the word turned on because it just sounds gross. You get a boner. I don't get a boner. Well, I love hands. I like hands too. Nice manicured hand. I really do like that. But I do appreciate a nice pedicure on a female. You may want to learn about Kathy's companion site on OnlyFans, which is her hands. Kathy, at our next...

public event, I want you to stir a margarita for me with your toe and I will drink right out of that. There you go. We need to do that publicly. Alright, we gotta wrap this up. Is that alright? We gotta go live on Fox Good Day in just a moment or two. We will do that very thing. Reiterating, we announced Kathy's Cuts.

That event is coming up on May 2nd. It's a Friday at True Beauty Concepts in Southampton. Need at least 14 inches from the base of a ponytail to donate. And you can get all the details at PrestonAndSteve.com. But make those appointments now because they fill up quickly. We'll be back in just a moment. Stay with us.

Yep, that's me, the I hate Steven Singer guy. Why do other jewelers hate me? I'm a nice guy because other jewelers just want to throw up when you ask, can I trade in my old diamond studs? Why? I guess it's because they're in the business of selling.

I'm in the love business. I love to see my friends come back and trade in their old diamond studs. It's true. You can start with any size and upgrade them for a bigger pair anytime you want. Get exactly what you paid. Not only do other jewelers not want you to trade in your diamond studs, but even if they do, they don't give you back what you paid.

Why are their diamonds worth less? Oops. Come see me, the real Steven Singer, a real jeweler, whose diamonds are always worth what you pay. Visit me at the other corner of 8th and Walnut. By phone, 888-I-HATE-STEVEN-SINGER. Online, IHATESTEVENSINGER.COM. Oh!

We're going live on Fox. Good day right now. Karen's here with us and we're getting ready for Preston and Steve. Hey guys. Hey. Hello. Good morning guys. Hello, hello.

Good morning. How do you guys feel about driving in silence? Do you ever do that? No, I have WMMR on all the time, cranked as loud as it will go. But occasionally, Preston. Listen, if you're talking about, I guess it's the version of raw dogging, I will do that. But I add the element of driving quietly.

with my eyes shut as well. Because I want that sensory deprivation that can only come from being in a vehicle driving along at 60 miles an hour. Listen, there are times when I do need to clear my head. If I have things on my mind or if I've had too much on my mind and I just want to zone completely...

However, being aware of driving. Yes. That, yes, I will go in silence sometimes. Do you have the, when you're listening to directions or in an area or trying to find a house, will you turn down the radio? Yes, because you can't see very well when the music happens.

I drive all the time. Exactly. Isn't it funny how we do that? Yeah. I drive all the time in silence after work. I don't have anything on. I listen to WMMR, don't worry, all of the time. But after all of this, all this talking, listening to music all morning long, when I drive home, nothing's on. We've heard, Alex, that you drive along playing a harmonica. Is that true? Yes.

Of course. Of course. Her inner Bob Dylan. And I drive with my knees. Yeah. I have a question for Waze. Do you guys do Waze as first one? But second one, what's your selection? I had boy band for a while and now I just switched over to Chaka Khan giving my direction. Chaka Khan. Karen. Karen, did that go, uh,

Turn left. Was that the boy band one? That's boy band. Yes, that was so good. Turn right. That's funny. I didn't know you could do that. I didn't either because I turned the voice off on that like years ago. I don't like the constant interruptions.

Yeah. Well, Karen, now I'm curious, how does Chaka Khan go? She goes, to the right, to the right, to the right. Like, how does she... It's, like, just soulful and really, like, smooth, and she brings it in, and she just, like, has you, like, strap in and get ready for the ride. She's lovely. I want to see what's going on in Karen's car when she's driving. It's pretty crazy. A little Barry White? You never know. All right.

Well, it makes sense. I mean, if the day is like really been a long one, then I'm like, I just need silence. But sometimes if you want to stay awake, I need to have the music and it needs to be bumping like loud. Yeah, absolutely. What is your what is your wake up music, Alex? When you have to absolutely when you're teetering on falling asleep driving, what do you go to to wake you up?

It's got to be something that I know and I know the words to so that way I can stay awake because I'm singing. So maybe Beyonce. I am a Beyonce girl. There we go. How about you guys? To stay awake, I got to have something high energy and cool. Rush. Yanni. Yanni. Something like that. Yeah, John Tesh. But I do need something up-tempo.

Okay. Thank you, guys. Thank you. All right, guys. We will see you later. And we just got done talking about being drowsy while driving. Finger on the pulse, man. That's what you have to say about us. Got to do that. All right. Speaking of driving, let's take a look at traffic and see how we're doing. Kath, what's up so far this morning, please? Allegheny Avenue closed in both directions between Jasper Street and Frankfurt Avenue. That's police activity. School police bound slowing...

From 202 into Belmont, jams the Boulevard to the Vine. Westbound jams Pashunk to the Vine. The Boulevard out to Gladwin. 95 southbound, sowing Cotman into Girard. The Vine westbound jams the Length. Blue Route northbound, sowing 95 to the Media Bypass. Route 100 in West Whiteland Township. Northbound at Lincoln Highway. The right lane blocked with an accident. Route 29 in Trenton. Northbound at 129, a disabled vehicle off to the shoulder. And if you're coming over the Ben Franklin Bridge westbound, you're jamming the toll plaza to 5th Street.

This traffic report brought to you by Wawa. With Wawa's new $2, $4, $6 menu, craft the order you want with options at $2, $4, and $6. Limited time only. Gotta have a Wawa. And that's your traffic on 93.3 WMMR. All right. Real quick.

Before we do the Zara file, I think I had a shout out I want to do. Pass it on to real quick here. So let me see here. It says, hey, Preston, good morning to see you. I asked if you would give a juicy shout out whenever it is convenient because he's always listening for Chad the Rad. Chad the Rad. Formerly known as Chatty Daddy to his kids.

He announced this past weekend that his son, Chad Jr., is going to be a chatty daddy himself. And we're getting another Preston and C fan in the making. Love you guys. And that is from Timmy Z. So this is for Chad the Rad. A shout out for you, sir. Chad the Rad. And then here's one. This is from Joey, who emailed and said, I'd like to send a shout out to my best friend in the world, Julie Jerkoff.

She started a new career this week and I wanted to wish her all the success in her new endeavors and hope that she finds everything she's been searching for. I'm incredibly proud of her and I know she's going to crush it. The universe gave me the greatest gift when it made us friends. And I love you with everything I am, they say, always and forever. That is from Joey. And it says, Steve, if you could kindly give us a YouTube, that would be awesome. YouTube! They love it. They love it. And then...

There was a little plug-a-rooney. Some of these, I have to put some dates on these because sometimes there are little ways off. Okay, this is a good one. So this is from Ashley...

Faganiak. I know I've destroyed that name. F-I-G-A-N-I-A-K. I'm a Faganiak. Faganiak. I'm the director of admissions at Nazareth Academy High School in Philadelphia, the only all-girls private Catholic college prep school in Philly. Wow. She said, I know Casey's daughter goes to Marion, but I am hoping that doesn't count against us. My daughters? She said, we have an amazing...

We have amazing girls doing extraordinary things, and I was hoping for your influence, and hopefully it can help. And I know that your show's been doing a lot of coverage, press, and help with CHOP, Childhood Cancer, Ronald McDonald House, and so this is right up in that wheelhouse. Next week, Nazareth is hosting their annual Nazathon in support of CHOP. Nazathon is a completely student-led organization.

That works all year to raise money for specific departments within CHOP. And our girls would love to tell you more. She says it culminates next week, April 4th, with a 12-hour dance marathon to raise awareness for the work that CHOP does and to celebrate all those who work tirelessly to end childhood illnesses.

And the girls have raised well over a million dollars. That's terrific. And each year they try to top the year before with a big reveal at the end of the night. And this is their 11th year raising funds. So it's this Friday? She said it's on the 4th, yeah. So I'm reaching out and hope that we could partner in some way. Maybe a plug for the girls and the event if possible. And so we are more than happy to do that. That is from Ashley, like I said earlier.

I guess is how you say that. But so thank you for reaching out, Ashley. You guys have every reason to be totally proud of that. And if people want to support, it's again at Nazareth Academy High School in Philadelphia. And their Nazathon is coming up on Friday. So I just wanted to give that a little.

The info is up on the community page of PrestonSteve.com as well, Preston. And then their social media account is Naz underscore A underscore Thon. Nazathon, but it's Naz underscore A and then underscore Thon on Instagram and all social medias.

This is not a butt plug, but I've been hanging on to this for a couple of days and I wanted to play this for you. It's just a little voice memo that I got that I thought you would appreciate. Oh, okay. Hey, I just wanted to see how you're doing. I haven't caught up with you in a while. Just like a runner. Just like a runner. What? Be my little baby.

Is that new? Yes. Oh, my God. She got a bunch of messages when we talked about her, so she sent me a new message. One more time. Hey, I just wanted to see how you're doing. I haven't caught up with you in a while. Just like a runny nose. Be my little baby. Did you guys talk?

No, I just got these messages and we texted back and forth. We're going to see each other in a couple weeks, I think, during our spring break. She's local though now, isn't she? She does. Yes, she is local. She lives kind of like the upper Bucks County area now. There we go. I love that. I love it. I love it. The audio is so good. All right. Let's do the B-File. Here we go.

Well, he wasn't exactly at the level of a Batman villain, but he's now in custody. Police in New Delhi have finally caught a gentleman named Deepak.

27 year old thief notorious for his poop and run tactic. Oh, this, this methodology is catching on. It's all the rage. Uh, whenever officers closed in on him, Deepak would soil his pants, creating such a foul smell that it deterred police and allowed him to escape. Curses. Uh, this unpleasant strategy proved effective multiple times, leading authorities to the nickname of the poop and run. Uh,

His luck ran out when officers, prepared with masks and gloves, apprehended him at Idga Park. Didn't get paid enough. Despite his usual method, the equipped officers managed to arrest him. Deepak has confessed to multiple mobile thefts and knife-related crimes with over $1,000.

Yep.

There are plenty of stories about people being struck by lightning, but a 30-year-old comedian from Australia has new detail about what happens. Now, it says her name is Carly Electric, but she was struck by lightning legitimately while filming a storm in 2023. So maybe thunderstorms are her thing. After the strike, she couldn't move. She was rushed to the hospital. Doctors diagnosed her with a temporary condition called carinoparalysis. Okay.

And she was paralyzed for about nine hours and had trouble breathing, speaking, and moving. But another weird side effect of that, oddly, after recovering, she noticed her green eyes had turned dark brown. Don't make my green eyes brown. That's wild. I'd prefer to go the other way because green is a really exciting color. Yeah, but this is what happened when she was struck by lightning. She also said...

The spot on her head with a lightning hit is now extra sensitive. Did she have a lightning bolt on her forehead? Despite the scare, she kept her sense of humor and even said that the experience boosted her dating life. To be honest, she should be dead. So anything is a win.

To save money on rent, a young Chinese woman has decided to rent out the bathroom at the factory where she works. And for just $7 a month, she has staked her claim on a six-square-foot bathroom facility complete with toilet and utility sink. And the room is big enough for her to bring a small bed and portable hanger unit for her clothes. She lives in the bathroom. In the bathroom. That sounds great.

Her boss says the girl insisted on paying double the rent to pay for water and electricity, but that offer was refused because they didn't want to take advantage of her. But she's paying $7 a month. Wow. It's not bad. And apparently they have one of those in-the-floor toilets, at least if I'm looking at this picture correctly. If you can deal with that, that's a cheap way to live, right? And doesn't she, you said she hosts Thanksgiving every year, right? She does, yes. So.

So in the international waters of the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal, a narco sub was seized by authorities containing over seven tons of cocaine. Wow. Reportedly, the submarine was on its way to the Iberian Peninsula. And according to those same authorities, this booger sugar seizure was equal to one-fourth of all cocaine seized in Portugal in the entirety of last year. We're a narco.

Five crew members were arrested in the bus and the sub reportedly belonged to a transitional criminal organization. Yeah, we're not sure we want to go through with it. A Georgia woman is a terrible story who managed to escape her vehicle after a car crash tragically died when she fell down a well just moments later. It makes me think of those Final Destination movies. Yeah, sure. Like it was going to happen.

Shirley Obert, 67 years old, went missing on Saturday after being involved in a car accident in Monroe County. Authorities and family members frantically searched for her. On Sunday, police discovered her body at the bottom of a deep well that was surrounded by a very thick brush near where her car was found. The sheriff's office said Mrs. Obert appeared to have been trying to go for help when this incident occurred.

and it appears to be a tragic accident. The well was covered under thick brush and would not have been noticeable. They said, we do not know exactly how she ended up in the wooded area where her car was found. Our fatality investigator is working on trying to piece everything together, and we may never know exactly. You have to imagine that during the fall, she yelled out, this is where God damn things go. Right, I mean, you survive one thing to die that way. They said she...

could have looked down or swerved to avoid an animal. Our best guess to how she came to be in the well is that she was walking, trying to make her way out of the woods and she stepped onto it. It was covered by a bunch of brush and she didn't see it. Yeah. Another image showed by the group. Uh,

She was using a machine that appeared to help pull her body out of the large hole. And they eventually got her out of there. But that's a tragic story. Yes. It's a bummer. All right. We will wrap it up there. That's what I have in the bizarre file for you at this point. Just to mention it again, we announced Kathy's cuts.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Kathy, we had a nice conversation reminiscing about Val Kilmer and how sad it is that he passed away 65 years old. He had complications from that throat cancer. He ended up having pneumonia, which took his life. And we were talking about a few of his roles, obviously a lot of his amazing roles. But a couple of them involve...

really tight relationships and movie buddies. And obviously a big one is between him and Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in Tombstone. They were the best of friends. I think it's one of the most inspiring friendships. Apparently it is true to history. And there is, I mean, at the end of the movie, remember Wyatt Earp gives...

the book, the pamphlet, so to speak, that he gave to Doc Holliday. You know, My Friend, basically. I forget the title of it, but it's a tribute to him as a friend. And another partnership that ended up taking hold in the...

second movie was in maverick top gun maverick yeah he and ice man we find out become the absolute best of friends as well which is you know sometimes there's a dynamic of people who hate each other that are drawn to competition i love that and and eventually they they something happens they find common ground they turn out to be almost soulmates you know what i mean do you start to tear up when you talk about maverick because yeah maverick and ice it's

They seem real. They do. That scene is so good, especially because Cruise, as a legitimate friend of Val Kilmer, insisted that they use him. And he loved it so much, apparently, that Val Kilmer was able to do it. They were able to dub his son's voice, as you pointed out earlier, sounds exactly like Val Kilmer sounded previously.

pre-throat cancer, and it was just beautiful. But it led us down this path of off-air conversation about great...

friendships, besties in movies. And so we were just kind of kicking around some of our favorites. So what I think when it hits dramatically, you can have comedic, you know, like Bill and Ted pop up as, you know, friendship. But I think when you have something that has a more dramatic edge to it, to me, that gets me every time. That...

you know, ride or die, Fred. I'll give you the perfect example. I'm sorry to jump in here, Casey, but, um, Red and Andy Dufresne. That's what I was going to say. And Shawshank Redemption, the end of that movie. Yeah. When they finally can reconnect. It's like, I bawl my eyes out. And, and I think it's a love story. That's exactly it. It is. I think Morgan Freeman or, um, uh,

Tim Robbins had said that this is really a love story between two friends. Yeah. The whole movie. Again, that whole scene, we're watching a clip from it now, all that they endured together, all that they, again, someone who has your back that way, and pressing the dynamic that you mentioned of...

Here's another perfect example. I don't like you. I hate you. But we become best of friends. Lieutenant Dan and Forrest Gump. Yeah. Right? So, I mean, that's another similar one that just has that weight. Now, mind you, obviously, it's a slightly different dynamic, but it's still a friendship. Yeah. I just immediately thought of Dumb and Dumber. I love Harry and Lloyd. But you know what's really funny about that is towards the end of the movie, they actually...

kind of connive against each other. Yes, yes. Like when Harry finds, you know... He gives him the Turbo Lax. Yeah, he gives him the Turbo Lax because he steals his girl. Like they drive all the way across the country to go see this girl. And then Harry steals her from them. Yeah. So they're not good friends. But they are. They patch it up. They work to a common cause. But like some of my favorite movies are...

It all revolves around friendships. Like, you know, my favorite movie of all time is Stand By Me. It's these four best friends going on this adventure. Of that... I was going to ask you this. I'm curious of this. Of that collective, of those multiple friends, who do you...

Who represents the two closest friends? It's Corey Lachance and River Phoenix. Exactly. Yeah, those two guys. In fact, he says at the end, he said the other two guys faded in the hallway over years and just became strangers. But those two ran closer. And even that makes you feel teary-eyed. Yeah, yeah, most definitely. You know, if you stop and think about, and I sent you over a list and it's actually on the list, but

To me, a scene that just levels me when you're talking about friendship, somebody who's made the commitment, Frodo and Sam. Oh, yeah. I mean, and that first film, you know, I made a promise. Yeah. You know, oh, my God. Yeah, there's so many great ones. I mean, Lethal Weapon, you know. Murdoch and Riggs. Yeah, that ended up leading to multiple movies. And they hated each other. They hated each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They didn't.

What's that? In real life or in the beginning? I'm getting too old for this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I've got a list here, but are there any that come to mind amongst you guys? I mean, we've hit a couple of them. I mean, yeah. Here's one on this list, and this is definitely right in the heart of it. The Harry Potter films, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. So... Yeah.

Who are the tighter friends? Is it Hermione and Harry? Well, Hermione and Ron end up together eventually, so they're probably the closest. But I'd say, no, Ron and Harry, I think, are the tightest among that crew.

Um, yeah, for me, you can't go wrong with like a cross-country road trip with two buddies like Tommy Boy and, you know, where, you know, Tommy loves Richard. You know, Richard doesn't love Tommy as much, but, you know, as the road trip goes along, Richard's like, hang on a second, this guy...

It's pretty great. You know what I mean? I don't have to be such a dick to them all the time. Have you ever seen the, and I mentioned it earlier, the movie called The Defiant Ones with Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis. They are chained together convicts. Okay. They escape. He's a racist.

And they go through this, you know, they're running from the police, but there is a friendship that ensues that is born out of that that is amazing. If you want to talk about people who hated each other and eventually bond, Steve, I know this movie wasn't a big, big hit, but I...

But I liked it. Enemy Mine. Enemy Mine is great. Yeah. Louis Gossett Jr. as that alien creature. Dennis Quaid. They hate each other. They try to kill each other. Yeah, they're warring against each other. They get stranded together on a deserted planet. That gets me. And they end up

Forming a really strong bond. And he goes back because Randy Quaid gives birth. Yes. And he raises the son and the son gets captured. He's going to be brought up on the slave ship. I don't know this movie at all. This is Wolfgang Peterson who did The Perfect Storm. This is like The Defiant Ones. It's a simple story.

But they learn to respect each other because it's a very harsh planet that they're on. It's the only way they can survive. I got a text message from our friend Joe Holden from CBS News. He says, John Candy and Steve Martin. I guess planes, trains, and automobiles. That's another one. Yeah. You have...

started off not well Steve Martin didn't like John Candy and then they really That's like Shrek and Donkey too. In that Martin documentary he talks about there was and he starts to tear up Steve Martin going because he keeps the original scripts

There was a longer scene exchange in the train station when Steve Martin realized he's kind of putting his mind together. And he's like, oh, wait, something's not right here. He goes back and finds him there. And there's a longer exchange. And he was just recounting it. And he starts to tear up. I'm getting choked up. One that's an example in this article is Han Solo and Chewbacca.

One of the greats. And we don't know a goddamn thing he said. But they also, they would bitch at each other a lot. They would. Even though they obviously had this bond. They had been through, you know, everything together. Same movie. What about R2-D2 and C-3PO? I think C-3PO could have easily... Yeah, at the beginning, he gets emotional. Yeah, yeah. I'll give that absolutely a great screen friendship. Are they allowed to be friends if they're just robots? Absolutely. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, I think they're more than robots.

And that, and that. So... Yeah, Romy and Michelle too, Preston. And Thelma and Louise is another one. Who do you... So, are you a fan of Thelma and Louise? I... Not really. Yeah. I mean, I've seen it and it's a great movie, but it's not one that speaks to me. Romy and Michelle speaks to me. Yeah. It's just hilarious. They were the outcasts. And again, when you were in school...

How would you classify yourself? Me? I was a rocker. Stoner nerd. Yeah. Stoner music nerd. Right. Yeah, that was kind of it, I guess. I didn't fall directly into that full-fledged geek nerd, but I was pretty close. I had a classic, hated the guy's guts, and he became a friend throughout school. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I mean, we actually had a fist fight in the...

This is at Cedar Road, one of the 2,000 schools I went to in the play field. And then he was Brian O'Hatton. That's the guy's name. And he sadly passed away. Oh, man. There's another. Now, this is more than two people, but the ensemble cast for it. We're going to have Finn Wolfhard on later, but it is.

Yes. That group, the Losers Club. Uh-huh. They were bonded by all kinds of things, especially, you know, fighting this evil. But I always thought that was a pretty strong relationship. Some texts coming in. Nick, scroll to the bottom, please. There was one that I wanted to mention. Oh, man. Where was it? Oh, man. Um.

Okay, there's a lot of them. Step Brothers. Step Brothers, that was it. Yes, thank you. That's a classic. A lot of people are pointing out Giant Silent Bob, Woody and Buzz from Toy Story is a good one. A pressing one we missed is...

um, goodwill hunting. Oh yeah. That's a great debt. And that they're friends from the get go. Yes. They're friends. Danny, Terry, Mikey, baby, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robbie, Johnny, and Brian. Well, there's, there's a, um, there's a segment where Sean is talking to, uh, to will, uh, or no, he's actually talking to Lambo, Gerald Lambo. And he, he's like, uh, he, he calls his, uh, you know, his buddies, a bunch of gorillas. He goes, you know what those gorillas would do?

They'd take a bat to your head if one of them asked him to do it, you know, and that's called loyalty. And if not for Chucky, Will would never take the risk. Right. Chucky Ben Affleck completely calls out Matt Damon's Will and makes him change, you know, and so that's true friendship. Yeah. What's the line in Tombstone where they're at the river and the one guy says, I have a lot of friends.

I wouldn't do that. And he says, I don't. There's another Ben Affleck movie I haven't seen. The scene pops up on social media all the time. Is it The Town? Yes. Solid movie. He goes to Hawkeye. Jeremy Renner. And he says, we're going to do something. I need you to go with me. You can't ask me why. And we're going to hurt some people. And he just pauses for a second and goes...

Whose car are we going to take? Yeah. And I'm like, okay, there you go. That's an example of... Ride or die, friend. That is your guy that you know. That's your shovel buddy, Preston. I think you avoided that movie, Preston, because it was in a spate of a lot of Boston movies all at the same time. Is it good? It's fantastic. It's a really good heist movie. I have to write it down. Look, there's 12 million on your list, right? But it actually has Titus Welliver in it. We had him on the show earlier this week. Oh, yeah. That's great. And Jon Hamm and Affleck and Jeremy Renner are really good together. What kind of buddy...

if you could put yourself into a role, into a movie, into a relationship. Well, think about it for a second. That's a good one. That's a great one. We have a caller online or we have a Zoomer. Let's go to Brad and see what he has to say. Yo, Brad. Morning, bud. Hey, good morning. Good morning to see you. What's up, man?

Jeff Bridges and John Goodman in The Big Lebowski. Yeah, yeah. Again, unique and funny, of course, obviously. But yeah, that's one of the great ones. Well, because they're both flawed people. Yeah, but they find each other. They find each other and they accept each other flaws and all. And Brad, if you were one of them, would you be the John Goodman character?

Yes. The market is zero. All right, Brad. Thank you, man. Appreciate the scene when they're chucking Donnie's ashes.

I mean, Nick and I had that happen. We were putting remains in a wood chipper for a stun. It blew back in our faces. How the hell did that happen? In that scene, though, somehow Goodman makes it about Vietnam. Yeah.

Oh, here's, okay, so we're having Finn Wolfhard on later. Somebody texted in and said, Dustin and Steve and Stranger Things. Yeah, they were such a, you never saw a coming friendship. It wasn't until like the third season that it really settled in. And I'm like, oh my God, these guys are, they're buds. You know, the totally, the cool guy from high school graduated a couple years earlier and then the still kind of nerdy guy.

And they're close. Here's another example of the two that hated each other, Steve. Rocky and Apollo. Yes. Yeah. How did we miss that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's one of the great partnerships for sure. Those little goonies. Don't worry, Apollo. I got these little chappy teeth that we can hang on the side of the building. A lot of good texts coming in. I love you, man.

Yeah. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. I mean, come on. That's great. Sidney and... I forgot what Paul Rudd's character was. Pete. Pete. Pete! Pistol Pete. Pistol Pete. Jobin. Jobin. Jobin. Well, one that comes up a lot is, whether you're a fan of the series or not, which is Dom and...

I guess it's Brian O'Connor from the Fast and Furious films. Yeah, I don't know him. I saw the first one. I don't remember. It did get me when he had passed away and they created this final scene of him CGI saying goodbye. All right. We have somebody, a Zoomer. I know this guy. It's Damien who's joining us. Yo, dude. How you doing, man?

Hey, man, on the way to work. Nice. Oh, he's a caddy at Pine Valley. Oh, is he? Oh, nice. He is. All right. So what would you add to these ranks, Damien? Marty McFly and Doc. Oh, yes. Oh, the bizarre old man and teenager relationship. That was mentioned a number of times that people would, and when they were kind of putting the script through the greenlighting process, people were like,

What is it? They're friends? This old guy and this kid? John Mulaney has an entire bit about the fact that they never, ever explain their friendship. There's no point and no real reason and no understanding as to why. And people just accept it and move forward with it. I tend to think about Back to the Future entirely too much in my life. And I have come to the realization that they were always meant to be friends. That the reason they were friends in 1985 in the beginning to begin with is because of what happened in 1955. Right.

Would you say it's their density? It was definitely their density. Maybe Doc knew about it and that's why he sought out Marty. But I think that there could be a prequel there. Damien, do you have any theories on that at all?

Nah, not really. Just a movie for you? I'll tell you one. Yeah, I mean, it was one of the best movies when I was growing up. But I just think they had a very great friendship. They didn't really bicker at each other most times. They were happy. Yep, exactly. Pretty cool duo. They were great and supportive. I'll tell you one of the classic ones we completely missed, Preston. What? Kirk and Spock.

Oh, my God. Kirk and Spock. Yeah. One of the ultimate buddy relationships. Right. And conflicting. Like, they hated each other at the beginning. You had Mr. Logic and you had Mr. Fly by the seat of his pants, go with your gut type of thing. And yet, they managed to balance each other out and have a great relationship. That's a good one. All right. We'll go next to Cindy, who is... Oh, okay. So, we have... Can we call her name, possibly? Maybe. Let's say... Cindy!

Hi, Cindy. Hi, how you doing? Good. All right, Cindy, what would you add to the list of great buddies, besties in movie history?

First thing that came to mind was Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Wow. Actually, brothers, though. Brothers. I would put that in a strange. They hadn't been together. But I would put that in a Forrest Gump, Lieutenant Dan sort of. There is a need that becomes a mutual respect. And help each other. And help each other, yeah. Yeah, I fully agree.

Yeah, but it's very sweet. And then the closing minutes of that movie where he's Tom Cruise has been made a better man because of this association really resonates.

That's a good one. It took me up every single time. When Dustin's character, Raymond, makes eye contact with him. He doesn't even say anything. I'm going to cry. He doesn't even say anything. You're like, boom. The connection was made. Another good one is Wayne's World, Wayne Garst. I just had to put

Not as emotional, but still, yeah, wonderful. No, but you know what? In that movie, they do kind of have a little bit of a tiff, and you kind of get bummed out for them because of their friendship and their relationship. There's a movie, Mask, about Rocky Dennis, right? Yeah, that's right. And obviously, at the end...

Spoiler alert, Rocky Dennis passes away. But to me, that's not the saddest part of the movie. The saddest part of that movie is when him and his friend essentially break up because they had been talking about taking this cross-country motorcycle trip and it's all Rocky thought about and wanted to do with his best friend. It's a great movie. And then his best friend taps out of that because something else comes up. He's got to move, I think. He's got to move. And their friendship breaks up.

That's the saddest part of the movie for me. I'll tell you a nice sort of redeeming thing about Wayne's World is that in real life, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey had a falling out. They didn't really talk to one another for a long time. And so they've reconciled. They're friends now. And so Wayne's World, for a stretch, it really vaulted both of those guys into the stratosphere. And they...

had a bad falling out for a long period of time and now they're friends again. So I see redemption there, yeah. Steve, you had mentioned Captain Kirk and Spock and I gotta play this. We haven't played it in years. Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain? Here we go. Bob.

Somebody texted and said, how about Preston and Steve? Ah, there you go. But your best friend is... Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're work buds. So, yeah. So I would say also, this came to my mind and I recommend this movie and please continue to ignore me if you have not heeded my advice. It is called The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. It is with Alan Arkin and Chuck McCann plays a learning disabled friend of his.

And Alan Arkin is a deaf mute. And they have a friendship. And they take care of each other. And it is one of the most beautiful. It ends sadly. But it is an inspiring, beautiful relationship caught on film. I mean, it just kills me every time. Well, what about another one that kills you, Steve? Is of Mice and Men. Of Mice and Men. Yes. Who was? Squiggy. No.

Hello, stop killing the mice. Hello. Lenny and Squeaky in Of Mice and Men. George. Lenny and George. That one will floor you. And that was George keeping an eye on Lenny. And he loves him. And George, in the beginning of the story, had just opened up a dry cleaning store. That's the Jeffersons. That's the Jeffersons.

I'm going to go to Paul. He's joining us via Zoom this morning, walking through Center City, it looks like. Hey, Paul, how you doing, bud? Hey, morning. Hey, morning. All right, so who are we missing on this list?

Fandango is one of my all-time favorites. Yeah, wow. Classic buddies going down the road, facing life and whatnot. Refresh my memory. Who are the standout, most connected buddies in the film? I haven't seen it in about 15 years. Kevin Costner and Paul Robards, I guess, are the two main ones. Judd Nelson is the ROTC. Right.

kind of guy that the one guy's passed out the entire movie. The entire movie. Oh, get out. And then the other guy doesn't speak. The

Dorman says about seven lines the entire movie. I've never seen the movie. It's a great coming of age. It's phenomenal. Supposedly Steven Spielberg had his name on it, but he ended up not liking it. I don't know why. It's considered a cult favorite. It's one of Kevin Costner's first movies. Every year there's a convention that happens, I believe it's down in Texas, and this is the last year they're going to have it.

believe it or not, and they go back and they go and see the sites where it was filmed. It's one of my favorite cult movies. I mentioned it to Costner when he was here, and he enjoyed reminiscing briefly about that. But that's a great buddy movie. It's coming of age all the way. Thanks, Paul. Hey, Paul, real quick. I think I have that same T-shirt. Is that Madison Square Garden fish T-shirt? Shooter.

Oh, he's trying to open it up. Is that what it is, Casey? Yeah, I have that same t-shirt. That's funny. All right, thank you, Paul. Appreciate it, bud. Yeah, you got to see Fandango. A little dated, but it's

Yeah, but movies like that, it doesn't look or sound like it has any special effects or anything like that. Nope. Okay, it's just a straight-up drama. Godzilla's in it. Oh. It takes place right in... The Vietnam War is still going on, and that's a part of it, too. If you're talking Vietnam friendship, I mean, it's bizarre. It has turns. But Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken in Deer Hunter. Oh, yes. He has to...

De Niro works during that whole Russian roulette sequence, where he's, we're going to get out of here, we're going to get out of here. That whole sequence, his buddy, you know, think about the friendship that

you know veterans or at least in that case you know that where the friendship born of war you know and and the person who absolutely has your back and helps you live is you know what what greater type of friend could you have uh we're now going to go to another person via zoom and he knows the interior of my house intimately oh yes he has wired most of the sound and audio in my home uh

My buddy Adam is online. Hey, buddy. How you doing? Good, man. What's happening? Just doing the show, man. All right. So what did you want to add to who we were talking about as far as buddies? Well, I mean, I'm a big sports guy and movie film. So remember the Titans, man. Jerry Burks here and Julius Campbell. Yes. Two people at odds at the beginning, right? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, they become the best of friends in the end, and they live and grow old together the whole nine. What a duo. You bring up a good point, because it makes me think, and I'll put this in it, because Brian's song, it's a true story, and there was a true friendship that was forged with Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers. You know, they were adversarial a bit at the beginning. He was always, he thought he was being made fun of, you know, and so they become friends. A little different, but very powerful. Sure.

That's a solid one. Thanks, Adam. Appreciate it, bud. You got it, man. Good seeing you. See you, you too. Somebody had texted in, and this is true, and I love the relationship between the two, wedding crashers. Yes. And they go through their breakup, and they go through getting back together, and they

Yeah, it's, again, one of the funniest goddamn movies ever. There's a scene where, and we talked about this not long ago, where they're having breakfast after, you know, Jeremy the night before has his encounter in the bedroom, and he's like, maybe it was the midnight rape or the nude gay art show in my bedroom, and he's telling them about all this, and Owen Wilson's character convinces him to stay, and he just goes, and he has...

okay, I'm going to do it. And then Owen Wilson's character, he says, I just want to sit here in silence. I don't want to talk. I just want to eat. I want to recharge and get ready to go. And Owen Wilson's character is like, listen, I know you don't want to talk to me right now. I just want to tell you

Love you. Yeah. And he's got his mouth full of food. But it's a great scene. Okay, so we go back a little bit. The scene during that midnight quote-unquote rape where Christopher Walken comes in and he's talking to him. And he just casually reaches over and pulls on the rope that has him bound in bed.

It doesn't say anything. It kind of tugs at it. Hey, listen, here's the thing I want to point out as well with that scene out of Wedding Crashers. I have, in the past few years, I have come to a point in my life where I now tell my closest of friends that I love them. There you go. My buddies. I mean, like, end of...

the phone call all right i love you bud yeah and it's um it's it's a great place to be would you want to cast off this mortal coil and not have said that to people you really care about absolutely not i it's something that that i think you shouldn't be afraid to do you know who's one of the first people to do it around here jackie bam bam jackie bam bam left the voicemail for casey one time he's like hi bud i love you do you know and it wasn't just like love you but it was like i don't

I love you. I was going to say it was very Dr. Mike of you. Well, Dr. Mike is obviously the champion of it. Also, I think sometimes where we miss the Marcus...

It's okay to say that to a prostitute. Yeah. Sure. Love you, man. I mean, you're paying her for crying out loud. Should say it to random people, though. You know, somebody checking you out at Wawa. Yeah. Okay. Here's the answer. Come up from behind and bear hug them off the ground. Now, we've done that before, like on the phone with, you know, someone who you barely know. Yeah, yeah. And you're so used to saying I love you to your wife or whatever. I love you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. No, I don't. No, I don't. Like, just as a friend. Have we done that?

No, just sexually. Have we done that on the show before? Where you try to end the phone conversation saying I love you and if they don't say I love you... Oh, love you back. We might have done that back when you could take phone calls without people's permission and not tell them they were on the radio. Back when we had phones. Yeah, just take phone calls in general. Yeah, exactly.

Hello. Newfangled technology. Anyway, I have my candlestick phone that Steve bought me. All right, back to Zoom. We have Sarah who is joining us. Hi there, Sarah.

Hello. How are you guys doing today? We're wonderful. We're talking about Val Kilmer. Just to reset for everybody who might be tuning in. Val Kilmer passed away and we were talking about the relationship between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday and Maverick and Iceman. So we got on the subject of besties in movies. Who did you want to add to our list?

Depends if you want to go with the movie or the TV show. Either. But Hawkeye and Trapper John or BJ Honeycutt from MASH. So to me, I would... So the longer run was with BJ...

But I love the Hawkeye Trapper John. I did too. Yeah, I thought that dynamic was – now, they didn't have their farewell all of the series, which was emotional. But I love the dynamic. It's like they know they wouldn't make it through the war, especially if you're talking about the Robert Altman, the movie. Yeah.

without each other finding a kindred spirit that speaks to them, they wouldn't make it through. And I love that dynamic. And that's what you look for in life, those people. I'd say Dr. Mike...

Like, we get each other in a way where he knows. I mean, there's just an unspoken thing. We all love him to death and we all have our various relationships. For me, he's my bestie. And it's that we get each other and our stupid little collecting things and all that stuff. And you need those people in your life. Yeah, like I said, it's rare to find someone like that. But once you find them, like, you hold on to them. And it's a good thing to have, especially...

Yes. Absolutely. All right. Thank you, Sarah. I just want to give a shout out to the YouTube crew. All right. Let me do it. YouTube. YouTube.

Thank you, Sarah. Appreciate it. I'm going to do something I very rarely do, and that is quote Walt Whitman. I want to get a shirt with this on this because I don't know much about Whitman. I don't know nothing about him. Hell of a bridge maker. I saw this quote, and it's kind of my... It's now my... I don't know. Mantra? It's not a mantra. It's just a statement that I...

agree with and identify with, and I have it written here. He said, I have learned that to be with those I like is enough. Yeah. Damn you, Walt Whitman!

Anyway, I was being serious for a moment. Oh, I apologize. Yeah, it's okay. My bad. I have learned that to be with those I like is enough. And right now, Casey's not one of those people. He sometimes is. Damn it. He did his job. You did a fine thing. I did. You did it. It's all good. It's all good. But that speaks to me. And I think that it sums it all up.

The second part of that is I have no time for dickheads. Then that could be. Weed them out. We're going to go next to Steve. He's working today, making pizzas or something. What's up, Steve? I'm making pizza dough. Nice. Where do you work, bud? Actually, Casey was at Reen's Deli. I work at Pat's Pizza. Casey did the deli tour. Wait, which Pat's Pizza? The one on Route 1?

No, right in Parkwood Shopping Center. Oh, my bad. My bad. Okay. I don't know where the hell that is. Very cool. Yeah, you're right in Reed's Deli. The tour thing. Gotcha. You're getting ready for the lunch rush? Yeah. We're losing a little bit. Who do you want to add to the buddy list?

He's frozen. We lost him. Mr. Miyagi. Yeah, and Daniel. Your signal's breaking up, so we're going to let you go, Steve. That's exactly right. That is a more paternal, but it's still... What would be the difference between Doc and Marty? Good point. That's an age difference as well. At least they explain that one in Karate Kid. You get a bit of a backstory. And in Cobra Kai, he continues. Mr. Miyagi is mentioned...

through the entire series and obviously he was the most important person in his life you know and so yeah that was that's a friendship that that lasted forever you know and in both of their minds all right we're gonna go to Tony next hey Tony what's up man

Hey, man. Good morning, guys. Great to be on the air with you. I wanted to add in cousin Larry Appleton and Balky Bartokomis from Meatboost. Perfect strangers. I don't know if there was a better duo. Well, they are family, technically, but they're still friends and best of friends. Yes. I'll take that. Casey, I know you support that. Yeah, big fan. I like that. Who else? Well, if you're taking the bosom buddies, if you're talking great friendships, what about

Nick, in Cheers, would it be... Norman Cliff. Norman Cliff. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's a bunch of good texts coming in regarding animated movies. Mike Wazowski in... And Sully. And Sully in... Monsters, Inc. Monsters, Inc., yeah. And then Tow Mater and Lightning McQueen. Well, Woody and Buzz. Yeah. Yeah. And there's another, you know, that they started off butting heads and become...

as close as you could possibly be finding nemo it would be dory and nemo right yeah no dory and um marlin oh dory and marlin that's right and lenny dory and lenny yes all right uh we got time for a couple more and then we'll move along i have uh bruce uh who's joining us this morning hey bruce

Yeah, Zeus, good morning. It's Steve. Hey, hang on a second. Is this some paintball geo parody, Bruce, by any chance? Yes, sir. Oh! Look at his face. Good to see you, brother. I'm really smiling.

So to chime in here, two guys that just randomly met and became the best of friends. How about Django and Dr. Schultz? Django and Change. Yeah. That is a solid friendship. Yes. One of my favorite movies too. Me too. Two unlikely people.

becoming very, very close and helping each other. I like that. Thanks, Bruce. Good to hear from you, bud. Brad Pitt and DiCaprio in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He is complete. He takes a frigate. He repels the Manson family from killing his new wife at the end of the movie. Didn't happen, but it's still very cool. Right.

Right. So many good ones, man. Yeah. All right. We'll go to one more Zoom and then we're going to take a break. So we've got Mike that we're going to go to. Hey, Mike. Morning, bud. Hey, morning, Preston and Steve. Nice to have you on, my man. All right. So who are we missing out here?

Well, first, I just want to say I had the opportunity to meet Val Kilmer a few years ago at Monster Mania Con. Oh. And just such a nice person. I actually had the opportunity to take a picture with him. That's so cool. So may I ask, what was his level of capability as far as communication? He still had the trach in. It was covered up by a scarf. And he was talking very, very softly. Okay. Okay.

It was very... He looked good. He didn't have that full face yet. No, yeah. But yeah, he seemed in real good spirits and he seemed really happy to be there. Just a second follow-up question to that. Of the crowd that was gathered to meet him, what do you think most of them were there for? Because he has so many things that he is or was. I saw a lot of people with the Batman figures. Yeah.

And I mean, I knew him obviously from Top Gun and Heat and obviously Batman, but it was majority of it was Batman. Yeah. So I have my hot toys, Val Kilmer, Batman Forever, Batman. And yeah, he did a great job of that. He did. Yeah. Oh, thanks for relaying that. That's cool. Of course. Yeah.

The duo that I was talking about, Days of Thunder, Cole Trickle and Rowdy Burns, Tom Cruise and Michael Rooker. Even though it's kind of a cruddy movie, they are great together. And they even have... What are they, race their wheelchairs in the hospital? Yeah, and they got rental cars. They raced it on Daytona Beach. They pretty much say it's...

Top Gun with race cars. That's what it is. In fact, when they were high-concepting the movie, that's exactly how they described it. That's a good one. Appreciate it, Mike. Thank you, buddy. Steve, speaking of Val Kilmer, to wrap on this, one of the roles I thought about this morning, and we didn't get a chance to bring it up, I've never seen the movie, but he was in MacGruber, right?

Yeah, oh, he's the bad guy. So I can't say his name. Yeah, it's... I think I can say it. No? See you next Tuesday, H. Could I say that? C-U-N-T-H? Yeah. Okay. Conth...

Yes. That's his name. I did not say a bad word. He is effing hilarious in that. In the movie, MacGruber gets together his prime team and loads up the vehicle that they're going to be traveling in with this explosives that he's going to use. And before this team's gathered Preston at the beginning of the movie and the van blows to bits and kills them all. So later on this...

C-U-N-T-H. The villain that he's playing, he's talking to MacGruber and he goes, and he's saying, well, yeah, this is Val Kimmerer talking. Yeah, I had my guys in a van and I blew him up. And MacGruber goes, you did that too? And he goes, no, I didn't do that because I'm not

an a-hole and it's hilarious and at the end yeah I mean it's again to talk about his comedic level as we said with Real Genius and as we said with Top Secret and I totally forgot MacGruber oh my god yeah so many good movies

movies. All right, well, anyhow, thank you gang for contributing, but it was, you know, sparked the conversation with Val Kilmer passing away, but this is good to reminisce about that stuff. We're going to take a quick break and come back in a little while. A little later on, we're going to have Finn Wolfhard and Billy Brick joining us for the film Hell of a Summer. But we'll come back in a second with some other stuff. Stay right there. Summer is

Back with more of the Preston and Steve show podcast. Thanks, Kev. Real quick, I have a shout out. I received this from Mike Brown. And he writes, Hey, Preston, requesting a shout out to the Phillies organization slash family, the Phillies alumni, and certainly the Phillies.

to the handsome man who carries a bag with all of his facial care products named Matt Kalper. A couple of weeks ago in Clearwater, Kalper organized an event for the Darren Dalton Foundation. While the evening was expected to focus on Dutch and the type of cancer that took his life,

Calper and the Phillies alumni took an incredible special moment to recognize my family and me as we are joined in my battle against ALS. My wife and I were taken by surprise as Calper took the stage where he had incredibly nice things to say about my family and me. His support, along with the amazing support from the Phillies family and a countless number of people, has helped make this daunting adventure significantly easier than doing it alone.

Matt stands as one of the many reminders of how fortunate we are by being surrounded by people who are just simply better humans than 99.999% of the population. As unfortunate as it may be to be diagnosed with an incurable terminal disease.

I've learned how truly blessed I am. And then he writes, hashtag zero days to waste time. And he also says, P.S. Tell Marissa that I am CHA class of 2000. And then he says, and please remember to wash your legs when you shower, Preston. So that is from Mike Brown, who clearly has a great sense of humor, even though he's going through an unimaginable point in his life. So, Mike, we're going to send this shout out to Matt Anderson.

and the Philz and thank you for writing in and hanging there buddy good on him good on Matt appreciate that yeah so yesterday Nick wasn't here so we need to bring him up to speed on what happened

Yesterday was April Fool's Day, Nick, so we were playing songs with the word fool in the title. All right. And so we played a song from the band Cinderella. It's called Nobody's Fool. And there's a part right before the guitar solo in the video. And when I heard the song on the air and we were playing it, I distinctly remember two members of the band flipping the guitar around their neck. And they did it.

in a way that I had never seen before. They pushed the headstock of the guitar down and it went around backwards. The other way to do it was to throw it over your shoulder and come around that way. And I'd seen people do that before, but I'd never seen the way that Cinderella did it. And I mentioned it on the air and we pulled up the video and watched it. And then Casey goes, well, we have a guitar right over here, Press. And

And I'm like, oh, that's ridiculous. It's an acoustic guitar. It's a wider body. There's no way I'm going to be able to do this. I've never done it before. And I was just like, screw it. I'll try it. An electric guitar is like half the width of that body. It's heavier, but it's not as wide. Maybe you addressed this yesterday, so forgive me. But in your band days, did any of your bandmates ever try to do the move? No. No, because, I mean, you scrounge together pennies to...

To buy your guitar. Yeah, you know. And there's no way you're going to take a chance at, you know... Right. Destroying a Les Paul or something like that. Sure. And those things are heavy as hell anyway. So, I went over to the other side where you were, Nick, and I gave it a shot. That thing came around. And in the video, it doesn't look like much. It was really a glancing blow. Yeah, yeah. But dude...

It still hurts today. Didn't sound like a glancing glow. It clipped me pretty good. And where it got me was in the back half of my head. But when I touched that spot where it hit, it actually hurts in my temple, which is really weird. That's a good sign.

So anyhow, I did it. I knew it was going to be bad. Casey apologized in advance for even suggesting it. But I was the one that ultimately tried it. Boom! We can see it in slow-mo. Yeah, clocking in the head. Do we have the audio? Yeah, you want to hear that? Yeah, please. This is it.

That's the audio on air? Yeah. And he was back here. And I was back there. Do it again. One more time. Oh my God, dude. I mean, yeah. Way to go. Thank you. Anything for the show. Nice ride. Yeah. So, but yesterday I got an email from the brothers of

Of Jeff LaBar from Cinderella. Who is the guy that innovated that move. And I want to read this to you. Oh, we got to hear it. Says, Hey Preston, this is Jack LaBar. My brother Jeff played guitar for Cinderella.

And I knew you were going to hurt yourself when you attempted to do the guitar flip. But a hollow body guitar would hurt a lot less than a solid body guitar would. True. And he goes on to explain the whole thing. He says, Jeff brought the guitar flip to Cinderella. He said, there are no original ideas. He said he first saw the guitar flip when he saw a band called the Dead End Kids. He said, I think they were like an English punk band from the 70s.

And he practiced and experimented. And by the way, Jeff passed away, I think, in 2021. So that's why he writes about him in the past tense. He says he practiced and experimented with the guitar flip. And for a while, he did it for a while until he perfected it. He only brought...

The guitar flipped to Cinderella and taught bass player Eric Bredingham how to do it. Only Jeff and Eric would do that. Tom Kiefer, the singer, and he played guitar as well. He never did it. Instead, he said he would either throw his guitar to the guitar tech, Bob Schumann, or catch the guitar from Bob. And I was always afraid that one of them or the guitar was going to get hurt.

But anyway, he says the guitar flip doesn't work very well with a standard guitar strap or the standard nuts that hold the strap to the guitar. He said there are modifications that have to be done. He said, I can share them with you if you're interested, but I don't know if Jeff...

would have wanted to go at that to go out on the air. I think these are kind of like his little secrets on how to do it. We're watching the video here. I think it's coming up soon. It is at the end. They do it a couple of times.

But I can see also the kind of strap. I think my brother was doing it for a while, but he had a strap. Wow, that was like smooth. That's how it's supposed to be done. It's nice and smooth. They don't even think about it. They look forward. They don't even look down or anything like that. And catch it with one hand. You had the wrong guitar, the wrong strap, the wrong outfit. Let's hear what all that sounds like again, Case. Oh! He hit himself right in the head.

Man, that is a solid chunk on your head. Yeah. Yeah, it hurt. It kind of hit like twice, too. Like it hit like, like it looked like it like hit one part of your head and then the next. It sounds like two thumbs. There's an echo. Yeah. Oh! Gabang! That's the hollow body of the... Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, Jack goes on to say, I met you once. It was a few years ago at a 5K for the Laurel House somewhere near Lansdale. I listen to your show almost every day and feel like I know you guys. And I'm sure you get that all the time. I've heard you say that, or he goes on to say, there's some personal stuff he said, I heard you have a gay son on the spectrum or a Santa son on the spectrum and a trans son.

And that must be a challenge, but it's also amazing that you have such a diverse family. So anyway, enjoy listening to your show every day and I commend you on the great things.

for you and the people that you do for the people of Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Thank you and keep up the good work. That is from Jack Labar. That's so cool. I thought that was great. Yeah, man. You know, wow. And Case, you said, where are they from? Springfield? Yeah, Delco. Yeah. In fact, I want to say...

One of the members of Cinderella's family owned a Chinese restaurant on Baltimore Pike in Springfield. Okay. I think that is the case. Wang's Chili Dogs. They were a big fan of Pat's Chili Dogs. No, but it was in this shopping center. My friend Brett and I always talk about the magic dumpster because there was this dumpster behind the shopping center. I know what it is. Porn. Porn. Oh, my gosh.

I think there's a Jim Stakes there now, but where Jim Stakes is, there was like a Five and Dime store that they sold adult magazines. I know where that is. Okay.

So anyhow, thank you, Jack. I appreciate that. I knew it. I knew it when I was attempting it. I'm like, this won't be right. And I had a feeling you maybe had to sling the guitar lower or something like that. I think also a longer, it appears a longer strap. Let's hear it one more time. Okay, one more time. Oh! He hit himself right in the head.

Somebody texted and said, Preston, just think if you had Nick's head. Oh my God. Well, it wouldn't be destroyed, the head or the guitar. Yeah, the guitar. It'd be like that scene in Animal House. It'd be permanently right. There would be bands that would, you know, use cheap guitars when they were ready to smash them. Yeah. You know, so they would bring them out on stage and if they were going to do the Townsend thing where they'd wreck it to pieces, they would just...

sub out the expensive guitars that they loved and bring out the cheap ones in order to smash. I always... So that whole thing, like, I... You know, it's cool. But I was like, man...

That's a perfectly good guitar. Oh, I know. Like a really good, like if it's Townsend, he was using Strats, right? That was his guitar choice? He played a Les Paul. Yeah, because he played a Gibson. He wrote a song about it. But Jimmy Hendrix, you know, he usually played a Strat and he would destroy those and throw them out in the audience. Imagine if you got your hands on that, man. Wow.

All right. Well, anyway, we have a couple of minutes to play with, and I think we should go to the Just Saying Institute, if you guys are cool with that. The Just Saying Institute, home of the new Preston Elliott head drama series. Of course.

So I saw some really cool stuff. And this one I've mentioned before, but there's a little bit more about it. So how often do you guys walk into a room and then realize you can't remember why you went into that room? I did it yesterday. I walked all the way down to the Fanatic, which is all the way at the end of the hall. You realize you work here. Looking for Ray Dunn, who works in the afternoons. And I specifically wanted to go and talk to him about something. And I got down there and I go.

I know I wanted to see Ray. I don't remember what I came down here to talk to him about. And I was like, Tyrone's like, is it this? I'm like, no, it's not that. And he's like, is it Temple? I go, no, it's not Temple. I go, damn it. I couldn't remember at all why I walked all the way down. And it never came to you? Eventually it did. And then Ray wasn't there. So here's the deal. It's such a common thing that there's actually a name for it. And it's called the doorway effect.

And it turns out that these forgetful moments, which some people call brain farts, aren't anything to worry about. They are the result of a totally normal brain response to new surroundings. And according to cognitive neuroscientist Christian Jarrett, the doorway effect phenomenon happens because our brains naturally compartmentalize activities and information based on rooms or specific places. Would it change if you came in through the window? No.

Maybe, but he explains that the brain resets just a little bit... Yes, I believe that. ...when moving from room to room, causing whatever we thought of in the previous room...

Just slip your mind. Because you don't have the context of where the thought originated around you. The visual stimuli. Yeah. But then you don't like, I'll backtrack. I'll go back to where it came from. Yeah. And stand there. And that's the best way for it. For me, it comes back. And it will come back? Yeah. That's a good idea. Researchers have found...

that the brain tends to file away events and memories from one room as soon as we go into another, and it's more likely to happen when we're distracted as well. So Jared says because of that potential hack, it

because of that a potential hack uh could prevent the problem he said to try to stay focused on your purpose when you pass through a doorway on an errand so when you're literally going through the doorway make sure you have it first and foremost in your mind the problem is reminding yourself to do that before you go through the doorway yeah uh so he suggests adding that uh uh

Making a note may also be helpful. So actually writing it down if you want to. There's a, and I mentioned it a number of times because it's one of the most clever of the newer Twilight Zone episodes where it suggests that when you leave one room and go into another, there's an interdimensional group of people

that set up the new room as you're going in. And then sometimes that's why when you say, I'm sure I put my keys here, one of the workers forgot to put the keys there. Yeah, and then you walk around for a little bit and they realize, and all of a sudden you come back to that same place, oh, they were there. They were there all the time. They were resetting it for you. So the doorway effect, it's normal, so don't freak out if it happens to you. All right, here's another Just Dance Institute story. Why do we fart more on airplanes?

Oh, man. We do? Well, I'm hearkening back to my trip from Frankfurt, you know, when we were coming in. It was a summer vacation a couple of summers ago. And that's when I had, I had not only that, but I had, of course, explosive issues going on. But yes, why is that? Because it does, is it, does it, let me ask you, does it have anything to do with the pressure? It does. So,

So flatulence is created from buildup of gas in the bowels. During the digestion process, undigested food goes from the small intestine to the large intestine. Bacteria is devoured or devours and absorbs it all before releasing it as gas like yeast and dough. On the ground, we experience...

one atmosphere of pressure at about 14 pounds per square inch. Most folks fart about 12 times per day on average. However, airplanes have much lower pressure at about 7,000 feet above sea level. Plane cabins are pressurized at about 11 PSI. So it's actually lower than what it is here on the ground.

The lower the air pressure, the more bloated you feel. This makes the gases in your body expand, which causes your ears to pop and also accounts for why you might fart more when you're up in the air. So then would it hold that if you, so you've scuba dived, have you farted in your wetsuit?

No. And that's the opposite. That's more pressure. Maybe on the way back up. Yes. I'm not sure. So you can actually conduct your own scientific experiment to see gas expand in action. Next time you're on a flight, bring like a small bag of unopened potato chips with you. That air is sealed inside the bag and it will expand like a puffer fish within about 20 minutes after takeoff. You'll feel it's more tense. Why not just bring a puffer fish with you? That's why if you ever get...

coffee on a plane and you use creamer and they have the little singer single if you open it yeah a little bit of that creamer will kind of squirt out uh and the top of it is uh is kind of puffed up because the pressure there's less pressure holding in the gas that's inside there right is there um is there any type of food that you know without a doubt gives you um worse gas

I know Blue Moon gave you stinky farts. Yeah, for sure. And I don't know what kind of beans you use, but my buddy Will makes a bean dish for Thanksgiving or events like that. And it tastes really good. It's these white beans with some bacon in it. It's got maybe some brown sugar or something like that, but they're really, really good. And I know it's stereotypical, but I fart like crazy if I eat that. Okay.

Brussels sprouts. That's what I was thinking. I never noticed that. Yeah. So I get this Brussels sprout salad. I guess they're baked or whatever, but it's excellent. And then there's... Does broccoli do that? Sure. Those are the two that came to mind when I was... What do they call that? Boomer asking, essentially. Because broccoli and Brussels sprouts were the two that...

that I thought. Cabbage is known to do it. Is it? You know, yeah, so. Cabbage, absolutely. Yep. Uh,

In fact, Casey was wearing a shirt yesterday. I said, I love farts on it. Which is really funny because I got to the gym yesterday and when I got to the parking lot and I was like, oh, I forgot to bring my gym bag from home with me. I'm like, whatever, I'll just work out in my... I'll just fart in these. I was like, I'll just go work out in the clothes that I'm wearing. And then I was like, oh crap, I'm wearing an I love to fart t-shirt. I'm like, I'm not going to wear that at the gym. These are work clothes. These aren't gym clothes. These are work clothes.

By the way, if you're experiencing extra gas during flights, the same thing happens with the gas in your body and the lack of pressure. So that's why you're more gassy or can be. But if you do have to fart on the plane, it says go ahead and let it rip. An airplane's air filtration system is designed to absorb and neutralize pungent odors, even smelly pugs. And aren't the seat cushions designed in some way to do that as well? No. Charcoal filtered? We had...

years ago that they were experimenting with something like that. That using charcoal. It never went into full use? I don't think it ever went into full use. So even if you got to rip one, it might smell for a moment. Should you lift yourself off the seat? It should dissipate fairly quickly if you got to do that. Quickly. That is. Quickly. Quickly.

All right, here's another story. We hear a lot about stress, obviously, and how that's not good for us. But according to one doctor, certain types of stress actually can be good for us. According to Dr. Sharon Bergquist... That was the best heart attack I ever had. She says, yes, too much stress can harm us, but not enough is actually just as harmful. And getting the right amount of it might actually be good for our well-being. How do you figure it out? Well, according to the research...

The reason some people thrive from stress while others don't depend on the type of the amount of stress they're exposed to. And what we think of as bad stress is unpredictable, unavoidable, and triggers the release of cortisol, which can have negative effects on our bodies like high blood pressure. So can I marry the two topics here? I think would a shart generate the right amount of stress to benefit you? Yeah.

I don't know, because you might be the level of embarrassment you have after that. But that's stressful. So it says, but what she calls good stress has the opposite effect by releasing dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin as well, which lowers our cortisol levels. So how do we add...

more good stress into our lives and get those benefits. And, um, Barquest recommends the following, uh, things. Find the, the quote unquote Goldilocks zone, the just right zone. Uh, the key to finding that sweet spot is not too much or too little stress. Uh,

Uh, that's not, uh, you have to push yourself a little bit to find out. Challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone without feeling overwhelmed. Fist fight a bear. All right, there you go. I would say, I think I kind of know. Things, so for example, if you have chores to lay out and a deadline, that to me would seem like a right amount of stress, correct? Yeah, depending on how serious it is. Right, right. But you're defusing a bomb, that's bad stress. That's heavy stress, yeah. I need to get this done by the end of the week.

So don't just positively reframe the stress in your life. Take action with meaningful and purpose-driven challenges like taking on a new job opportunity or learning a new skill. You can be strategic about the recovery. To grow from stress, you have to make time for rest and recovery. They said you need that for your body and brain to reset and build new connections to better handle future challenges. Come on, I want some more substance here. Yeah.

Lean into the body-mind connection. Physically stressing yourself can help build mental resilience and vice versa, according to the research. She said when you experience good physical or physiological stress... Would that be like resting an anvil on your head? Or perhaps trying to flip a guitar over your shoulder? You prepare and regenerate your cells, which makes every part of your body healthier and stronger. I guess maybe that means working out? Yeah. Yeah, that kind of stress. Yeah. And it says trust that you were made from...

some stress. Humans were built to overcome stress and get stronger because of it. Think of how nervous your dad was when he was banging your mom. It's okay to be scared and want to avoid challenges. Trust and doing it anyway. Like I've had my kids, you know, say, you know, this is too much. I'm stressed or I have anxiety. Part of me wants to go, hey,

Toughen up. Yeah. You don't know stress. Suck it up. I used to have to walk 11 miles in the snow just to get to my one-room schoolhouse. But there's a better way to communicate that and saying, look, this is life. We have these stressful things that happen and part of...

learning to live is learning to overcome those things. Now, some things you need help with. Some things you can't do on your own. But other things, do your best to manage them and it's not the end of the world and make sure that you try to help this make you grow. Appreciate it all as part of the process. And then just ball up on the floor and cry. That's what I do. That's my way of dealing with stress. I can't do it! So anyhow, some stress is good.

All right, this is really interesting. Okay. The question posed in this article is, why do we hear about medical breakthroughs in mice but rarely see them translate into cures for human disease? Because mice can't talk. No. Why do so few drugs that enter clinical trials receive regulatory approval? And why is the waiting list for organ transplantation so long? These challenges stem in a large part from a common root cause, and that is...

a severe shortage of ethically sourced human bodies. And it may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but to the unavoidable reality is that human biological materials are essential commodity in medicine and persistent shortages of that can create a major bottleneck to

progress. It's where the rubber meets the road. You got to get some real, real deal people in there before you start using this stuff. There's an interesting suggestion for this. So it says underlying cause of the organ shortage crisis with more than 100,000 patients currently waiting for solid organ transplant in the U.S. alone. And it forces us to rely heavily on animals, medical research practice that can replicate major aspects of human physiology and make it necessary to inflict harm on sentient creatures.

In addition, the safety and efficacy of an experimental drug must still be confirmed in clinical trials on living human bodies. And these costly trials risk harm to patients. They can take a decade or longer to complete and make it through to approval less than 15% of the time. So the way that it might be out of this deadlock, recent advances in biotechnology now provide a pathway to producing...

Living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain. So basically, the fuselage without the brain and soul. I don't understand. It got no soul. Bodies that they can use to test on and harvest organs of not really people, physiologically human, but not what we would call...

alive and sentient. In other words, the meat without the... The meat without the beat. Without the beat. Yeah. So... I mean, I can see... There is a place, I think, for a subjugated slave race of humans. Well, they wouldn't be, you know...

What about the first time one of these meat slabs goes, what the hell's going on? I know. Is this all we are? I'm thinking of Roy Batty and Blade Runner, you know, like the replicants. However, they were made, they had, they think they had a brain functioning. Thinking about the

batteries in the matrix, right? Yes. Like you can say that they don't have a mind or a soul. They ain't got no soul. Until they wake up and reveal to us, no, we... The hell? Yeah. Yeah. Well, in the movie, they, you know, the machines knew that. Yeah. And they just didn't care. Spare machines. Many will find the possibility of serving, but if researchers and policymakers can find a way to pull these technologies together, we may one day be able to create, quote, spare bodies. Imagine, like, taking elementary school kids to go see those labs instead of the fish hatchery. Uh,

It's almost like a brave new world. It truly is. It truly is. So these could revolutionize medical research and drug development, greatly reducing the need for animal testing, rescuing many people from organ transplant lists, and allowing us to produce more effective drugs and treatments, all without crossing most people's ethical lines, maybe. Couldn't we just pick what we would deem an unproductive country?

and go in there and wall it up, escape from New York style. Wouldn't doubt it if somebody's thought of that. Recent technological progress has pushed this concept into the realm of plausibility. Pluriprotent stem cells

One of the earliest cell types to form during development can give rise to every type of cell in the adult body. Recently, researchers have used these stem cells to create structures that seem to mimic the early development of actual human embryos. And at the same time, artificial uterus technology is rapidly advancing. And other pathways may be open to allow the development of fetuses outside of the body. Would these beings at any point in their life, quote unquote, be able to form or perform putting on the ritz?

Right? Only a cultured man about town would be able to pull something like that off, Steve. When you present your first brainless...

experimental human who was once a lifeless mass of tissues has now become a cultured, well-adjusted man. My mind is a raging... No, that's the wrong movie. Flooded with rivulets of... That's the same director. That's the stream of consciousness. Sorry about that. Young Frankenstein. My bad. Oh, it's all good.

So I'm going to continue on for a moment. Ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et messieurs, damen und herren, from what was once an inarticulate mass of lifeless tissues, may I now present a cultured, sophisticated man about town. If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go where fashion sits?

Do you know Mel Gibson did, I apparently did not want to do that scene. And I think it was, I'm sorry, Mel Gibson. Well, Mel Gibson didn't either. He really didn't. He was always, always young Frankenstein. Many times. Yeah. Yeah.

Mel Brooks. Mel Torme really didn't like it. Do you know what? The reasoning was he wanted to make, as the story goes, President Gene Wilder defend it and believe in it. Oh. Yeah. Really? So he challenged him on it because he's like, are you sure you want to do this? You're right. There was a percentage that's like, I'm not sure about this. But Gene Wilder pushed it through. But if you defend it passionately, then we'll believe in it. Yeah.

Mel's still a hard no. Mel did not like it. There was supposed to be a putting on the rich scene in the Passion of the Christ. Son of God. Anyway, back to the story here. Such technologies together with established genetic techniques to inhibit brain development...

Make it possible to envision the creation of bodyoids. Bodyoids. A potentially unlimited source of human bodies developed entirely outside of a human body from stem cells that lack sentience or the ability to feel pain. Where do you sit on this? There are all sorts of ramifications. I think I'm wrapping my mind around. I can see there are benefits to it, but there's something ghoulish about it. You would have to trust...

the science in that these are just yeah like there'd have to be no head you know what i mean or a small one that you could point at and laugh it kind of like in beetlejuice or something like that um you know what i mean in in order for it to be ethically acceptable and i'm i'm open to a lot um like i think there'd have to be no head and no face i think it would have to be

You know what I mean? You know how medical science is replete with stories of, we're not going to do this, and they do it. I know. And so...

I think we would at any time as civilians should be able to go in and inspect the bag of heads that they removed. But I mean, in order to be able to no longer have animal testing, to be able to have drugs developed quicker, to have organ transplants available at the ready. I mean, wow. If they look like turkey roll.

You know, like instead of... Turkey roll. Like, you know, when you get the turkey roll instead of the turkey breast, you don't agree. Oh, okay. So it would look like a chunk of something. Yeah. But would have the attributes of a human body. Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

Could it wear sweaters? They might need limbs because limbs need to be replaced sometimes too. Well, you grow what you need. Yeah. We're going to need a couple balls on this one. Welcome to the hall of arms. Yeah, yeah. You just walk in, it's just arms growing out of the wall. The armory. The armory, yeah. Oh my God. Whee!

This is your tour guide. Did you ever see the original Beauty and the Beast, the Cocteau film? Well, in the Beast's castle, there are a bunch of arms that hold candelabras sticking out of the wall. It would kind of look like that. It's kind of like in Willy Wonka. Yep. When they take their hats and stuff, their actual hands. But...

It's a pretty far stretch for something like that. But you never know. They're getting closer to and with AI and things like that. The AI ability, you know, when you hear about all of the systems that are not communicating with each other, where there could be data called out.

that we might be sitting on right now that AI can more expeditiously locate. Right now, we could be sitting on some major discoveries. It's actually very exciting. And then if we could all add to cats and dogs human pets, Preston, that we can create in a lab that are headless. Ooh, you got a torso. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, well, I'll do one more JSI story, and why not? We'll stay on the AI subject. A new study from OpenAI and the MIT Media Lab shows that people who use chat GPT a lot can start to depend on it emotionally. These users are called power users in the report and often build strong connections with the chat bot and feel a kind of loss or stress effect.

when its responses change or become less helpful. So this is part of what's the delay Apple has been, of all the major tech companies, has been late to AI. And they're paying for it. But there was supposed to be, their new version of Siri is supposed to be a lot more interactive. And it will have these attributes, Preston, that people you're talking about

Like, for example, my wife has mentioned when she's used chat GTP that she if it assesses her writing and gives her an accolade that it's like, oh, you know, like it's kind of a nice thing. I assume this is what you're talking about here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they're starting to get like an interesting emotional connection. Yeah.

Some users admitted to feeling lonely or anxious when they weren't able to use ChatGPT. I've, and again, not to derail here, but I was talking to Casey about this yesterday, and I use it to good effect for different things. It can get you through the drudgery of certain tasks that you do, but I can tell, for example, I was rendering a graphic and I was using AI to help me with it. Of the five swipes at it that I had asked for,

I mean, so in other words, it gave me five renderings and one was good. Sometimes we can see it in copy. Sometimes we're getting copy that is clearly chat GDP and there are glaring mistakes in it. I have not yet used it for a task in that I'm asking it to create something. Where I have used it is when I hit a roadblock on searching for something.

And I'm not using the proper search parameters or terms to find it in a regular browser or search engine. So I will, in plain language, go to chat PT and say, hey, I'm looking for this. That's where I excel. And it sounds like blah, blah. And it looks like this. Here's an example of it. And then it will give me better options to search. Absolutely. I haven't used it for anything else other than that. I'll use it if I get frustrated with something. So I was sending an email.

email, right? And I was so angry and the email was scathing. And I was like, if I send this, I'm not going to get any reaction. And I was frustrated over trying to get my point across that I was extremely angry, but not be a raging bitch. And so I put what I wrote into, I don't use chat GPT, I use a different one, but I put it into there and it wrote it and it would

It was good. I never use anything in its entirety. I'll fix it and make it sound like me. But I got the point across. And yesterday, I received a phone call. And they were like, we're going to send you the replacement. And I was like, great. Thank you so much. I sent you a picture. And I was working with it. I'm going to use it in a thing I'm doing.

Someone's in the kitchen with Rambo. And it was Rambo. Did you get the picture? When did you send it? I texted it to you in the meeting. I'll show it to you. Okay, I'll check it out. You texted it? Yes, I believe I did. I'll pull it up. Yeah, so here it is. Real quick, while you pulled up. In writing, sometimes even...

because I was always a good writer, but sometimes when you get stuck and you have to like walk away from it, I find myself, you know, that's where I can go. I can kind of get a little assistance and not have to walk away from it. So it took a couple of swings and I clarified everything down to where the light in the room was, to the look, to the angle. And I was very specific and it gave me what I wanted. But again, what it's doing is it's culling from all sorts of

And I was saying to Casey yesterday, when we first started the show, remember we got an iMac in our air studio, pressed it at Y100, and we would occasionally go, should I search for that? And we'd say, no, it's not going to be up. It was too early. Now what you're having is this will become more and more refined because it's really just accessing the collective knowledge and art and music and everything of the entire population that it can access. Right.

And so that's why it's able to do what it does. Well, and that's why there's other options out there because I think it started, or at least in the very beginning, started with ChatGPT, but when they launched it, it only has a certain amount of knowledge. So now that...

It's gotten better, has it not? It's been launched a while. Its chat GPT is sort of dated. So real quick, and then we got to wrap it up. The study looked at how these users interacted with the chat bot and how it affected their daily lives and feelings. And it found the chat GPT sometimes fills the role of a friend or emotional support system. I can see it. Especially for people who might not have others to talk to. But when the chat bot's behavior changed, like responding more formally or not remembering things, it upset users. You forgot my birthday.

Feel ignored or disconnected. So the new Alexa is going to be incorporating a lot of this in, based exactly for this reason, to make it more like a Jarvis. Oh, okay. Jarvis. Jarvis, yeah. All right. No, Jarvis. It is Jarvis. Jarvis. Yeah, Jarvis is from... Let's call the whole thing off. Jarvis was from Survivor. Why the... Wait, Jarvis.

All right. Anyhow, we've learned a lot today. I think that's enough for our little brains. So we will take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. And when we return, we're going to have Finn Wolfhard on the program and Billy Brick. Stay with us.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Well, are our guests ready to go? They are not ready to go. Uh-huh. Hang on, let me check on Marissa. Let me use my phone. Marissa, can you...

Let me check it. Marissa, can you hear me? Oh, my God. I want to build one of those studios like the Miss Maisel. Oh, yeah. We can do that. That's what I feel like back here. Last I heard, they are coming. Okay. So they're excited. Maybe two. Come on. Minute maybe two? Yes. We are waiting for them to connect. Oh, you know, I still have the walkie talkies. Oh, my God. Yeah.

Are they here? They're here. Yeah. Okay. We need to start using that one, Marissa. I think that'll sound more fun. We'll have six walkie-talkies. On the radio. The word is they go for about 20 miles. Okay. Can you go get them? Yes. What are those walkie-talkies that they're promoting now? Oh, wait a minute. Here we go. Is those our guests? Oh, yeah. Oh, I have Marissa's microphone. I'm like, where's that effing sound coming from? Can you get them?

No, don't worry about it. You're live on the radio. Are we good to go? No, they're still connecting, so it's about another minute, hopefully. You could have gone. Steve, don't worry about it. We'll do it. You were wondering about some kind of... They have these walkie-talkies that essentially work nationwide. I mean, that's what it is, but it is a walkie-talkie

Now you can talk to somebody across the country. Like a Nextel style thing? Remember how Nextel was kind of that? So no dialing up. You're literally connected to whatever...

Breaker one, two, breaker one, two, and then I'm talking to you and you're in Sacramento. Yeah. But my question is, does it go out to everybody else? Well, it doesn't matter. It's like a phone. You're going directly to another connection. I feel like it's that. But a walkie-talkie, whoever is on that frequency can pick up on any of that. So maybe that's it. I don't doubt it's right with the various systems that they have right now. I don't think that is a ridiculous thing to have or to believe is in existence.

Hell, we're creating slabs of meat that are headless slabs of meat for medical testing. The CB system was kind of fun. It was a lot of fun. Back in the day in the 1970s and 80s. Keeping Smokey off our tails. Totally. Yeah. We used to...

We used to say, what's your 40 all the time? My dad had a Mazda with the rotary engine. Super small vehicle. And he had this huge pace CB antenna on the back. Like one you'd have for an 18-wheeler. It'd look ridiculous. A whip antenna? Whip antenna. One of those big ones? Yep. So global walkie-talkie. Customer find these walkie-talkies work flawlessly in all locations. Wow. Yeah, it's like you can get it on Amazon for $220. Wow.

Yeah. I was going to say we could use that at the Cardboard Classic, but the other ones you got worked just fine. They were fine, yeah. And we're getting two more, so we'll have six available at our whatever we do. In fact, maybe we'll mail a walkie-talkie to a listener and they can talk to us. Okay. So I'm still waiting to hear. Here's what I'll do. I'll reiterate the fact that we announced Kathy's cuts earlier this morning. And that... All right, let me move my phone. That is...

is coming up on May 2nd. And you can get signed up now at PrestonandSteve.com. Are people signing up? Have we checked yet? I actually don't know how to log into that, so I'm not sure. So it's going to be one location this year, Friday, May 2nd, and True Beauty Concepts in Southampton. Which is great. Where that's going to be. And the requirements are you need 14 inches of hair, measured from the base of the ponytail to donate,

And then your hair is going to be cut and styled by, of course, the talented men and women of Gravity Hair Salon and Vibe Salon. Is Vibe in the same? No, they're from two different places, but they're all going to True Beauty. Everybody's going to True Beauty. It's two salons, Gravity and then Vibe is from Mount Laurel. If you remember, they joined us with this event a few years ago. Each donor gets a gift bag from True Beauty Concepts, a Kathy's Cuts t-shirt, and

And refreshments from Duncan. And like I said, appointments are required. You can go to presidency.com and sign up for the complete donor guidelines, which you'll want to check because sometimes it has to do with length and color and all these other things.

things that need to be taken into consideration before you sign up for it. And Kathy's Cuts is a sponsor this year. Live Casino and Hotel Philadelphia. Excellent. We love that. It's very cool of them to do that. May 2nd. Don't just put it on the calendar. Get signed up for it now. We still don't have these guys. We're halfway through our time to spend with them. Marissa? Hang on one second. Okay.

I had to mute. We have one guy. Do you guys want to do it with only the one guy? Who, Billy? Yes. No, not really. I mean, we set aside this time specifically and have promoted all morning long. It's going to be both of them, so I'm going to say no on that. Get back to me when you find out an update. All right, let's do the Bizarre File. How about that? Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File.

Alright, I do fortunately have some cool stories to share with you. We'll start with this one. Not necessarily cool, but kind of... I think they're cool. I can't believe that she did this. A wife robbed two banks while she was eight months pregnant and duped her unwitting husband into being her getaway driver. Oh my God. That's awesome.

Anna A. robbed two banks in the Lublin region of Poland in October and November after being inspired by gangster films that she watched during her pregnancy. Lublin? Yeah. That was one of the locations where you could see from the portal in Philadelphia. It was Lublin and Dublin. That's right. In Poland. Maybe we witnessed one of these crimes. Right?

So she burst into the cooperative bank brandishing a knife and demanded the cashier give her money before fleeing on foot with her haul. And she's pregnant at the time, correct? Eight months pregnant. Like big pregnant. Police launched a large manhunt with road closures and search dogs following the robbery. But officers were unable to find the thief who was described as short and likely female. Two weeks later, she targeted another branch of the same bank.

And police said she carried an object similar to a firearm. She made her husband an unwitting accomplice when she told him to pick her up after a checkup appointment at the hospital. In reality, he was her getaway driver from a parking lot nearby the bank where she committed the first robbery. You play those kind of jokes on your wife, right? Where you make her the unwitting getaway driver? While combing through footage, investigators noticed that the thief had a baby bump and managed to track her down. She was arrested.

A day after the second robbery, in total, she sold about $15,000, half of which was discovered in the basement of her house after she spent the other half on building materials for the family home. A knife and remnants of clothes believed to have been used in the robberies were also found in the suitcase.

And she told her husband that the money stored in the suitcase in her basement was from a lottery win. Very inventive. Very inventive. And that's where all that came from. She was sentenced to four years in prison for the bank robberies, by the way. All right, this just in. We have our guests around. That was a very short B-file, but maybe we'll come back to some more. We'll see about that. All right, our next guest joining us this morning,

have written, directed, and starred in a movie that is going to be opening on April 4th. So they are the creative force and starring force. You got everything. Hell of a Summer is what it's called. Please welcome Finn Wolfhard and Billy Brick to the program. Gentlemen, good day.

Good day. Good day. Nice to have you guys on. So, hey, I do have to ask, the relationship between you two, you know, if you're doing this much together for a project, are you guys old friends or is this a recent collaboration? We've, yeah, well...

So we met, I guess, actually in 2019 and became friends then. And then kind of immediately when we became friends, started writing the script together because we both realized that we both wanted to make films and realized we had very similar sensibilities and loved all the same things.

you know, films and genre films. So it just made sense for us. But yeah, no, now we're old friends. You know, we're old friends now, for sure. Okay, it's progressed to that point. I love the concept. I wonder though, you guys are both, you know, reading about you, both aware of, you know, horror movies and coming of age movies. It's kind of a synthesis of both those. And they're all, both those genres are replete with tropes that I'm sure you guys try to

sidestep and kind of make something your own. Was that a conscious effort from the beginning? Yeah, absolutely it was. I mean, whenever you're writing something, you want it to just be authentic to you and your voice. And then in this case, Finn and I's voice is like friends as well and sort of what our friendship and what our dynamic brings to writing. So yeah, we definitely wanted to

make a movie that felt fresh and new and exciting and different from other movies that might exist in this sub-genre or in this, you know, as you said, coming-of-age comedy. And I think the fusion of both the coming-of-age and the slasher really do help it stand out as its own. And it sort of takes place, from what I understand, Camp Pineway, and there's an older camp counselor, some younger camp counselors, and there is somebody who is set to murdering all of them. And that's the general conceit, correct? Correct.

Yeah, that's sort of the setup. And then the movie for us really is about watching these characters sort of squirm and go nuts. And there's this really... We have an amazing ensemble cast and a bunch of really kind of insecure, funny, contemporary...

characters and then seeing how they sort of pivot and how they react when they discover there's a killer is really all the fun for us. So I was reading that the that you guys were very inspired by the Shaun of the Dead and that kind of turn, you know, with Simon Pegg.

and Edgar Wright, those kind of guys. And there's also sort of a bit of Scream working in there. I love the fact that the character named Jason, and this is something I haven't seen addressed, he's just a couple years older than the other kids at the camp. And we all go through this, where we're just a couple years out of our friend group, but we start to feel much older. Was that something you wanted in from the beginning? Yeah.

Yes, it was. I mean, about being four years or five years older than somebody that feels like a massive deal when you're, you know, in your 20s. Yeah. Yeah. That then become not a big deal. So we wanted to explore that in him being like just too old. It's the first year that he's sort of lingering a little bit too long and can't let go of going to camp.

And then absolutely, yeah, the idea that this character is like the sweetest guy and is just the most tragically named character for working in love and coming back. The first person you're going to suspect, absolutely.

um quick question because you like four years in production from the going through this whole process finn you obviously you've got the the cred with stranger things in netflix but yet i was surprised to read that i mean you still had funding issues and it and it takes a lot to get the money for this kind of thing was that was that your first foray into trying to you guys try to get the money to get this thing done yeah definitely um

Yeah, I mean, no matter what, I mean, I'm so lucky to be a part of a few projects that I grew up acting on and definitely in a lot of ways gave us a leg up, try to get our foot in the door. But at the end of the day, no one wants really to give money to 20-somethings and in their minds, like two teenagers. So...

It definitely took a while. It took a lot of meetings and a lot of, uh,

calls of me and Billy trying to convince them that we knew what we were doing and we knew the story that we wanted to tell. And, uh, yeah, eventually we found our, our, our people and, uh, and, uh, yeah, very, very grateful for that. Let me ask you at any point, I would do it if I were in your shoes and I had access to the Duffer brothers and I was putting together something that was horror genre based. Did you, did you run it by them? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Many times. Um,

I've never, I mean, I never asked them for the funding, which actually in hindsight I should have. But yeah, no, I ran by, you know, they've been super supportive from the beginning. And so, you know, they actually, they just saw the finished movie pretty recently. And so it was really nice to be able to show them the finished product.

You guys have both been in the business for a while now, and when a project is about ready to debut, obviously there can be some nerves about that. How much more is your concern when you're the full creative force behind this and also money and other things that come into play like that? How do you feel going into this weekend on your level of anticipation, nervousness, and so on? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, Billy, what were you going to say? Well, no, I was going to say that obviously there's so much. It's so personal to us. So, like, it's I understand, obviously, the instinct that we take it very personally. But I'm just so excited to have this movie coming out theatrically. It's something we're so proud of. It's something that isn't a given anymore, especially with comedies. And to be working with Neon and to be having it have a wide theatrical release.

It's the type of movie I grew up going to the movies with my friends. I can't wait for people to see it. And it's been a long enough process that, I don't know, I try not to take it personally. I'm just so grateful that it's coming. I'll tell you this, in the world of these kind of films and genre films, whether it be horror, Neon is a good company to have behind you because it sort of brings a sort of credibility to it. And you both have done stuff within this realm.

A lot of the guys I turn to who are reviewers, early reviews, are saying you hit the note perfectly with the comedy and the horror. It's an R rating. It's got the gore. Of the two of you, who's the one who pushed more for the gore? Yeah, I'm the gore guy. I'm the freak out of the two of us.

Okay, cool. And from what I understand, you filmed in a as an actual was it in like an abandoned Boy Scout camp in Ontario? It was on the cusp of being abandoned. I would say it was this camp that was it's not running as a full Boy Scout camp anymore, but it was a Boy Scout camp. And now somebody owns it and they sort of rent it out for like private camp retreats for either campers.

or like group bonding or like they'll run summer camps out of it. So you'll have like a third party summer camp come and host your camp there. But that was almost impossible to find a camp and we ended up getting just the perfect place basically through just the stroke of luck

They happened to have one month available. That's cool. And that was the month that we were shooting. So my wife is terrified of wax museums because she always posits the notion that if you're a killer, that's the perfect place to go kill someone. Because, you know, that's the deal. If you are at a camp out in the wilderness and you're filming a movie about a slasher at a camp, is your head on a swivel a little bit? You know, because it would stand to reason, right? Yeah, you buy into it. You buy into it. Yeah.

Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, listen, I mean, if I was a crew member on our movie, I'd probably be maybe a little menacing

mad at us, me and Billy as the filmmakers, so you never know. Maybe we'd have some targets on us. That's right. Yes. Stands to reason. All right. Well, it opens on Friday, and like the guys were saying, it's a wide theater release, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to go and see it, but it looks like a, you know, looks like a cool...

scenario. Yeah, the word is good on it. Yep. So, well, good luck to you guys. We wish you the best. And obviously we're looking for more from the both of you and Finn, obviously excited about the next season for Stranger Things and so on. So thank you guys. It is called Hell of a Summer, Friday, April 4th. This Friday, it's opening. Good luck, guys. Thank you, man. You got it. Finn Wolfhard and Billy Brick. And the trailer is out if you want to

check it out and it's yeah it's a it's a the murderous guy at the summer camp yeah it's it now it all lives and dies by how sharp the dialogue is and a couple guys who i you know i kind of respect their opinion say they got it they got they got that that you can't trade everything on the horror realm with too much comedy yep and you can't you know you have to feel the the tension but it is legitimately funny in fact the wet hot american summer was mentioned as well as as like

similar to that. I've never seen it. It's a lot of fun. There's two of them in it. Is there any more than just the two? No, but Preston, it's up your alley. It just probably came out at a time where it missed you or you missed it. But Bradley Cooper's hilarious. Paul Rudd, Christopher Maloney, whose birthday it is today. It's...

funny and you know what Preston that would be a good workout hour and a half you'll laugh and you might want to watch it again and if not then you got a good workout in Paul Rudd has one of the great motorcycle I just

If you guys can call up on the screen here, Paul Rudd's getting off his motorcycle as he's the cool guy coming in. One of the cool guys at the camp. If they can get the scene up in time, it is pretty funny. Did you like the state, Preston, that comedy troupe?

Yes. Okay, so a few guys from the state are in this as well. Okay. Yeah, we're watching Paul Ruddy jumps off the bike. The bike wrecks and then he acts. Gives it a ghost ride. Yeah, he tries to be cool walking over to the gang. I love it.

All righty then. And thank you to our Xfinity mobile company crew guys for saving up our guest line. And Lonnie, we're thinking about you. So the Xfinity mobile guest line. All right. Let's take a break. When we get back, we'll do our lesson question. We'll get our trash and your music news. Stay right there.

Bon Jovi on 93.3 WMMR. I have always liked that song. It's just that chorus has just got such a great melody to it. I agree. It's actually one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs. 1028. It is Wednesday morning with Preston and Steve's show. And we have just a few more things to do before we call it a day. So one of those is our lesson question. We've got a four-pack of tickets for Body Worlds.

that we are going to give away if you can answer this question correctly. And by the way, I'm going to tell you how to time text the word ZOOM right now to 610-660-9333. That way you will already have the link even before I ask you the question. If you know the answer to the question, click on that link. And then we'll see if you can get on and answer it and win the prize. So here's what we're asking you. What Mel Gibson movie was supposed to feature putting on the Ritz? Ha ha.

Okay? That wasn't that long ago. 943 is when we had originally said that. So...

What Mel Gibson movie was supposed to feature putting on the Ritz? If you know, click on that link right now. The trash business is a goldmine. 93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, well, we're waiting to get all that together. We'll get some trash stories. Steve, what's up this morning? Well, this is Wild Preston. Macaulay Culkin admitting he hasn't talked to his father, Kit Culkin, in over 30 years.

McCauley says he and his dad have that kind of relationship where they will pick right where they left off, talking about the release of Windows 95. Kanye West making a shocking admission claiming he never wanted to have kids with Kim Kardashian. On the plus side, North Saint, Chicago and Psalm can now buy a bouncy house with the gift money they were saving for Father's Day. Oh, my God.

And finally, American Idol alum Antonella Barba is now back in jail following an arrest for domestic violence and violation of her probation. Barba admits it's a big ask, but hopes America can one day learn to also idolize violent felons. And that's all I can say.

Alrighty, we're looking for an answer. And we have somebody who wants to take a shot of this. What Mel Gibson movie was supposed to feature? Puttin' on the Ritz. And we will go to Brian. See if he knows. Hey, Brian. Morning, my man. What's up, guys? It's Sap Sap Yo. Sap Sap Yo. I love it. Alright, Sap. Do me a favor and tell me what movie, what Mel Gibson movie was supposed to feature? Puttin' on the Ritz? Passion of the Christ. That is correct, Sap. What?

Body Worlds at the Franklin Institute. Buy tickets at afi.edu. Now, Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMMR. Yeah! Oh, my God.

All right, let's begin with a movie music hybrid thing. Jack Black has released I Feel Alive, a high-energy song that's featured in the upcoming Minecraft movie soundtrack. And he's done it with an all-star band. The band includes Mark Ronson on bass, Dave Grohl on drums, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, and Roger Manning on synthesizer. Have you heard it? I have not. I want to give it a listen. I don't think there was a link there.

to the story. No, it looks like there might have been. I just didn't see it. What's it called again? It is called I Feel Alive.

And it's not the first time that fans have heard the song. Jack premiered I Feel Alive on Twitch on March 19th, engaging over 250,000 viewers. Andrew Wyatt and Ronson were responsible for the hit I'm Just Ken from the Barbie movie. Didn't Ronson also write with Lady Gaga? Didn't he write...

Shiloh with her? I don't know. He may have. But apparently Jack loved the I'm Just Ken song and it prompted the team up. And a Minecraft movie is set to premiere nationwide on Friday. He also did Rehab with Amy Winehouse. He did Uptown Funk with Bruno Mars and Shiloh, a.k.a. Shiloh with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Here's the I Feel Alive from a Minecraft movie.

Is everybody ready to rock? Let me tell you something about rock. Sounds like Kimberly Ross. Like a stone till you came alive. Oh, that's it. That's all we get. No, somebody from Allentown was calling me. What do you think? In me. The power to set me free. Running from zombies for the rest of my life.

Let's be creative till the day that we die. Now do I have to tell you one more time? I used to wake up and play back in my childhood days. Getting old is such a dirty shame. They never gave me a chance to let my imagination dance till I came up with a different game.

All right. That sounds fun. Yeah. A lot of fun. Yeah. Big production on that, too. All right. Moving on. Tobias Forge of Ghost said in a recent interview that the lore surrounding the band and the mysterious church behind them would be ending soon. And he said, obviously, soon didn't mean now because the group released from... I'm sorry. The group released...

the Not Safe for Work chapter 20 of the ongoing messages from the Clergy series on YouTube. Must be in German. While the new frontman for the band, Papa Perpetua V, or Five, doesn't make an appearance. He still is the obvious focus of this chapter. And it does reveal more of the backstory...

of the last papa who started with the band as Cardinal Coppia, unveiling the fact that the new papa is the fraternal twin of Coppia that Coppia didn't know he had. Wow, so what about the new character called Whitman Sampler? Yeah, don't know, but I don't know any of that stuff. I'm too lost. I know he does want to shift as you're talking about the storyline. He and the band will be...

working for a sexist boss and they work from 9 to 5. That's 9 to 5. That's a different movie.

I mentioned this earlier in the AirTent report, but it was announced at CinemaCon that the Beatles biopics, all four of them, are going to be coming out at around the same time. Calling it the first bingeable moment in cinema, director Sam Mendes also confirmed the cast. Joseph Quinn is George Harrison, Paul Mascola is Paul McCartney, Barry Keegan is Rino Starr, and Harris Dickinson is John Lennon. With each individual musician getting his own film, Mendes did not mention

How they would release, how it would be released individually or all at once in theaters. But he did share the release window is April 20th. We're going to get our own popcorn buckets. Yeah. All right. And then one last thing. This is unfortunate. Tony Bennett's daughters, Antonia and Johanna Bennett, have leveled up their legal fight against their brother, DeAndre Danny Bennett. In a new lawsuit, they claim that he abused his power over the late singer's affairs for his own benefit.

Tony passed away in 2023 and his daughters accused Danny of improper and unlawful conduct in his role as trustee of the family estate before and after Tony's passing. Let life flow like a sweet river of San Francisco poop. They said he is accused of paying himself excessive and unearned commissions.

with the daughter's lawyers claiming that he was freely using and controlling Tony's assets and trust assets. And they took all of his rice-a-roni, too. Oh, man. Poop comes out of my ass, that. No, they said as if the assets were his own. They also accused Danny of getting rid of stuff they felt had tremendous sentimental value. Come on, Danny. So, yeah. Rice-a-roni. That's too bad. I do actually love rice-a-roni. It's good. I love it. And there you go.

Zatarain's is good too. You ever had that? I've never had that. No. Oh, yeah. Yummy. All right. And that is, it's another spiced rice thing. Okay. All right. That's music news. Unless anybody else wants to talk about rice dishes. Do you like Zatarain's Spanish rice? Yes. I like Spanish rice. Yeah. Steve, I think maybe I'll make it for you. Oh, that's very nice. It's really, it's quite easy.

All you need is the little flavor packet. Kathy, would you wait me up some risotto? Maybe I'll make it for you. No, that's hard, actually. Risotto, it takes work. There's no way Kathy's going to make that for you. I can do Spanish rice. How about beans and rice? You don't just boil it? I could do that. No, you don't just boil it. I'll tell you how to do it. Do you guys use a rice cooker by any chance? No. Yes, we do. When we make sushi rice, Rochelle makes a fabulous sushi rice, and it's excellent. Yeah.

And we use a rice cooker for that. All right. Are we done talking about rice? I think we're done. Okay, we'll take a quick break. We'll come back in a moment. And when we return, pasta. We'll talk about that. Stay put. Stay put.

We are getting closer and closer to this year's MMRBQ. Saturday, May 10th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. A full day of partying with friends, family, and MMR.

MMRBQ 2025, a full day of everything that rocks from 93.3 WMMR. Hi, I'm Steven Singer. Yep, that's me, the I Hate Steven Singer guy. People ask, what does this mean, I Hate Steven Singer? Well, most other jewelers love to sell diamond studs that are cheap. They have a name for it, frozen spit. I'm serious. That's what other jewelers call their own products.

Frozen spit. Can you imagine buying a cloudy diamond that's milky color? Oh my. Buy real diamonds from a real jeweler. Steven Singer Jewelers, who backs up every diamond with a real lifetime full trade-in value. The best money-back guarantee in the business. Here's why.

It's 1047 and we are at the end of our program. Going a little bit late today. We had to kind of pause and wait it out for the interview that came through.

How are you, kids? Doing well. Nice. Very nice. I wanted to mention that tomorrow I've got an interview with Mike Campbell. Oh, nice. Mike Campbell is the legendary guitar player for Tom Petty. And

And the Heartbreakers, all 40 years he was with Tom, right-hand guy, and co-wrote many of the giant songs. And he's got this great book out called Heartbreaker. It's an autobiography and tells some of these books. I mean, obviously with Geddy's book, I felt that way. Because that's the guy telling the story. He was there.

But you feel like you're right, like a fly on the wall when these legendary things are happening. And so Mike Campbell will be with us at noon tomorrow. Very cool. That was very cool. Excellent. He's played so many parts on so many songs and co-written.

Don Henley sings like Dirty Laundry, not Dirty Laundry, Boys of Summer and so many of the great Petty songs he co-wrote. So we'll have a chat with him. Yeah, legend. That's excellent, man. All right, we'll get the letter of the day from you. Here we go. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR.
