You will listen to every damn word I have to say. And Steve Morrison. Words are like bullets. Loss. Casey Boy. Lay off me. I'm starving. Kathy Romano. I'm going to destroy everything.

All right, and the din means it's time to get started, friends. Welcome to...

The Thursday morning. A new weather forecast for today. Comfortable temperatures, but it comes with a cloudy day and maybe a slight chance of showers. Later on this evening, those will bleed into tomorrow morning. High 66 tomorrow with some morning rain. Afternoon showers on Saturday. High only in the mid-50s. And then Sunday, high 65 with some rain. Let's move to Monday. Our high temperature, 48 degrees.

So we're not out of the really cold stuff yet. And now, Preston and Steve's News Update with Kathy Romano. Our day is Thursday, April 3rd. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, Philadelphia police have named a suspect after at least two females were grabbed by a man in Fishtown. 29-year-old Noel Vargas is facing harassment and assault charges, police announced on Wednesday.

The first incident happened on Tuesday, March 25th, when a 36-year-old woman was groped while putting a child in her car near Palmer Cemetery. The second incident occurred on the 1500 block of Montgomery Avenue on Friday morning. In that incident, a doorbell camera captured screams and then a man walking away from the screams, then walking back towards the screaming person.

And a witness confirmed a 13-year-old girl was the one heard in the video. A woman said she and two male students ran to help. The woman walked the 13-year-old to school as she described what happened. She said the guy came up behind her and grabbed her almost in a chokehold. The child said, I take self-defense so I was able to get away. Poor thing. Wow.

Neighbors believe more incidents can be linked to that same person. Anyone who may have helpful information is asked to contact police by calling 215-686-TIPS or you can also submit a tip to police anonymously.

After weeks of anticipation and speculation, President Donald Trump followed through on his tariff threats by declaring on Wednesday a 10% baseline tax on imports from all countries and higher tariff rates on dozens of nations that run trade surpluses with the United States. In announcing what he has called a reciprocal tariff,

Trump was fulfilling a key campaign promise by raising U.S. taxes on foreign goods to narrow the gap with the tariffs, the White House says, other countries unfairly impose on United States products. Trump's higher rates would hit foreign entities that sell more goods to the United States than they buy. But economists don't share Trump's enthusiasm for tariffs since there's a tax on imports that usually get passed on to the consumers.

It's possible, however, that the reciprocal tariff could bring other countries to the table and get them to lower their own import taxes. How soon will prices rise as a result of the tariff policy? It depends on how businesses both in the United States and overseas respond. But consumers could see overall prices rising within a month or two of tariffs being imposed. For some products, such as produce from Mexico, prices could rise much quicker after the tariffs take effect.

Some U.S. retailers and other importers may eat part of the cost of the tariff, and overseas exporters may reduce their prices to offset the extra duties. But for many businesses, the tariffs Trump announced Wednesday, such as 20% on imports from Europe, will be too large to swallow on their own. Kathy, I get my butt injections in South America. Should I expect to pay more? No, you're still good. Steve, you're good. You're clear. You're clear. Yep.

Three people are facing charges after that brawl that broke out at the youth hockey tournament in South Jersey. So this was announced yesterday. They did charge three people. All right. So, Kathy, I watched the video a little more closely. And yes, those were parents beating the crap out of each other after the kids. A woman. They charged the woman. She was like, kept slamming the guy in his head.

I was like, oh my God. So it happened on Saturday during the Veterans Memorial Invitational Tournament in Egg Harbor Township. Video that is now under investigation by the township shows an all-out brawl. On Wednesday, police confirmed three people were being charged with assault and disorderly conduct. The individuals have been identified as 41-year-old Colleen Biddle of Philadelphia, 38-year-old Robert Schaefer of Mapleshade, New Jersey, and 38-year-old Justin Biddle.

of Philadelphia. Two teams that attended the tournament, Maple Shade Cadet A and Philadelphia Frenzy Cadet A, each put out statements saying they accept any disciplinary actions from the American Ball Hockey Alliance, including suspension from the tournament. The alliance also released a lengthy statement, part of which says, we want to emphasize that this type of behavior is not representative of normal street deck hockey play and violence is never condoned in our sport.

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. In sports this morning. Oh, my God. Ball sacks are yelping. What the f*** is that?

The Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 last night. Zach Wheeler struck out 10 Rockies in seven strong innings, and Trey Turner had three hits in his return to the starting lineup. Brady!

Wheeler allowed only one run and three hits. Turner, who missed two games last weekend with lower back spasms, was back in the leadoff spot and delivered an RBI single in the seventh. Kyle Schwarber had a run-scoring double and scored on an RBI ground out by JT Real Muto. Schwarber has at least one hit in each of the Phillies' five games this season. The series wraps up this afternoon. Tywon Walker will get his first start of the regular season. The first pitch is scheduled for 1-0-5.

The Sixers announced that after consultations with medical experts, Joel Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery next week. This comes after the decision in February that Embiid was medically unable to play and would remain sidelined for the remainder of the season to focus on treatment.

On treatment and rehab, the 2023 league MVP will be reevaluated six weeks after the surgery and is expected to make a full recovery and be played in only 19 games this season. The Sixers have lost nine in a row and are at home tonight to host the Milwaukee Bucks at 7 o'clock. The Flyers, who have only six games left in the regular season, are off until Saturday when they'll travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens at 7 o'clock. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

And that's what I have for you this morning. Going to the reference of how my leg. Wasn't that you were in church? I was in church. Yeah. There was a family, a very large family. And I think they're actually well known in the area. I haven't seen them in years. But yeah, the kid was like bouncing all over the place. And the grandfather was sitting there. He was like, ow, my leg. And they were speaking at just the normal volume. They were not whispering because they were in church. They weren't using the church voice. No, they were not.

Now my leg. We've been saying that for years. 20 years now, probably. It has to be. God. All right. Well, good morning, friend, and welcome you. We welcome you. Welcome you all. Welcome you. Good you welcome. Good morning you it. It sounded fine. Oh, dear God. All right. So we welcome you to a Thursday morning. We have some stuff that's taking place today.

I forgot my address yesterday, Preston. It's easy. It happens. All right, here is the question for you. Who provided the voice of Kit in the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider?

All right. Who provided the voice of Kit in the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider? I got this from Matthew Haggerty. Nice. Sent this in to me. So it's a good question. And it's timely as well, which I'll explain when we get the answer. Today's birthday is what we wait for your call.

or Zoom is the third day of April. It's Amanda Bynes' birthday today. She is 38 years old. She's gone. She's ebbed and flowed a little bit with her mental health issues, and I hope she's doing well. So do I. People may forget how...

how talented she was. She was often compared to a young Carol Burnett. And, you know, with that just sort of Swiss Army knife capability. So, yeah, we hope nothing now just more than mental stability and a good life and a happy life. She was poised to carry on to be a full-fledged star. But it's unfortunate that it happens. It's the human condition, gang. So hopefully she's doing all right. She's 38 years old today. It's Alec Baldwin's birthday.

He is... What are we playing? Red October. Oh, this is music from Red October? Wow. Everyone loves this song. Yeah. And I love his impression of Connery in that movie. Some things don't react too well to bullets.

His most recent thing was he was sort of dressed down by Hilaria on the red carpet. You saw that clip? Yeah, absolutely. I want to do an impression, and I never do impressions. This is my impression of my friend Scott Decker doing Alec Baldwin doing Sean Connery. Okay. All right.

He rushed through a sofa. That's too quick. Not very good. No, it was terrible. And I will never hear that line and not hear Scott doing Alec doing Sean Connery. And then he also does another impression in that movie of who is the senator who's in the movie. Fred Thompson. Yeah, Fred Thompson's like, Ruski don't take dumps on plans. Yeah.

I'll see if Scott can do that one too. Alec Baldwin. All right, Alec Baldwin is 66 today. It's Jenny Garth's birthday today. 90210. I love her. Yeah, I do too. She is celebrating her 52nd birthday today. I think she's still doing a...

Podcast with Tori Spelling? I don't know. I don't know. I know that Tori has hers. They probably jump on each other. The way it goes, everybody jumps on everybody else's podcast that everybody has. It's David Hyde Pierce's birthday today. Frasier. Didn't return for the reboot. No.

Niles, what a great character. Amazing. Yeah. All right, so here's a streaming show that I really enjoyed. They did two seasons and they didn't carry it on because it was for food nerds like me. But it's called Julia. It was about Julia Childs. And he plays...

her husband on the show. I didn't know that. And he's fantastic. This really quirky, bohemian kind of guy who worked for the CIA. Yeah, I thought David Hyde Pierce was excellent on that show. He turns 65.

We also have actress Sophia Boutella. Yes. And she was in Kingsman. She played Gazelle, the gal with the prosthetics on her feet that were razor sharp. Yeah. Hotel Artemis, Rebel Moon. I like her. She's really good. And what did I just see her in? It's some horrible...

It was, she was the secondary, she's usually playing an uncharacteristic, you know, arm candy. She's usually a badass. Yeah. She turns 43 today. It's Eddie Murphy's birthday today. Oh, wow. I'm making waffles. For his birthday. Yeah, yeah. I actually just started watching this. It's a little docuseries. I only think it's like two parts. Yeah.

But I think it's called number one on the call sheet. And it's just, you know, what a status thing that means for actors coming up when they're number one on the call sheet. Where is this? It's on Apple Plus. OK. But it really focuses only on black actors.

and their rise to becoming number one on the call sheet. I was just watching, and I've seen it before, but an interview with Conan O'Brien, and he was talking about, you know, for his years writing with SNL, obviously he's a comedic force of his own, but he contends that Eddie Murphy is the most

talented comedic mind he's ever seen. Oh. Yeah. That's Conan O'Brien saying that. No question. He's one of the greatest. So he's 63 today. Another great comedic and dramatic actor, Adam Scott. Oh.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The family from Step Brothers. He's the husband. She's got a smile that it seems to me reminds me of childhood. They did do a great job. They did a great job. Of harmonizing. She kind of screws it up. On purpose. You're the oldest. I'm counting on you. Come on. She's got a.

All right, so that's Adam Scott, and he's having a great run in Severance. It's doing very well, obviously. I need to ask you this, Nick, because I've been watching Severance on, like, I think episode two of season two. Sometimes when I'm watching that show and I look at Adam Scott's face, he...

looks really weird. Is it the camera angle or the camera tricks that they do? Because they do this thing, I forget, Steve, you probably know that it's a cinematography term where they zoom in and pull the camera back at the same time. And it makes anyone's face look weird, Casey. So they do it in the elevator every time. He goes up and down. It's a...

There's a term for it and I'll look it up in a second, but it makes everyone's face look weird when they do that. I'm not familiar. I always call it the Jaws effect because the first time you really saw it implemented, Roy Scheider sitting on the beach when they zoom in and pull out as well and you get that wraparound effect. And that's what they use as like the key photo on

Netflix or wherever it airs, if you want to watch the show, it's that picture. Close up of his face. Yeah, they'll rotate through them, but it's that what they're talking about, whatever that weird picture is. I'm sorry, the Dolly Zoom, the Hitchcock shot, I guess he used it as well. Or the Vertigo, which in the Hitchcock movie, Vertigo, they use that similar effect. The funny thing is that he really was focusing on being a serious actor and just on a lark decided to audition for the Step Brothers.

Oh, wow. Yeah, and they just saw something. And he was hilarious in Parks and Rec, too. Yep, absolutely. By the way, that Dolly Zoom, when I got a camcorder, I used to do that all the time. You'd have to run forward and zoom out at the same time, and it would just cause this flashback.

really cool distorted thing. Now there are pre-settings within the camera that'll do it for you. So, Adam Scott's 51 today. Kobe Smulders, we were just talking about her the other day because her husband, Taron Killam, had a birthday from Saturday Night Live, obviously. The Avengers and How I Met Your Mother. Yeah. Great success for her. She's

42 years old today. A good friend of the show turns a year older. It's Aries Spears. Birthday today. Mad TV, big for him. Jerry Maguire. He's 49 and he loves coming on our program. He does. We love having him. A couple of musical birthdays. There are a lot of people. A lot of celebs have birthdays today. Sebastian Bach.

has his birthday today. He is celebrating his 56th of Skid Row, obviously. I just saw something on Instagram where Ricky is 18 years or 30 years. He's now 35 years into his life sentence. I saw that. It shows this older guy sitting in a jail cell. I love that. So happy 56th birthday to Sebastian Blank.

And Preston, didn't the drummer of Skid Row used to take his drum kit and flip it over his shoulder? Yeah, yeah. We'll be reenacting that later on. I have yet another follow-up email. Oh, really? From someone else, which I'll share later on. It's Tony Orlando's birthday today of Tony Orlando and Dawn. Tony!

Orlando. He's 80 today. We have Paris Jackson turning 26 years old. She's a sometimes singer and actor, it says here. So she's 26. And then the last birthday, it was such a delight when we had her here. And I pass by her photo every morning when I go to the office. It's Jane Goodall's 90th birthday today. Wow. We're trying to show that we're not...

morons will reference her most often. Yeah. You know, she was a delight. She was happy 90th birthday. She played six jars of farts and local, local fellow who we just had on the other day. It's Brandon Graham's birthday. How about that? That was such a cool phone call. And Preston, one more legend, also a friend of the show. Oh, it's Bernie Perron's birthday. It's his 80th. Oh,

Oh, my God. Yeah, we did a video for him last week. That's right. They're going to assemble a whole bunch of videos from a lot of Philly friends. And so, happy 80th birthday to a worldly known good guy, Bernie Perrant. And he and Tony Orlando both turned 80 years old today. They should go out on tour together. I think so. As the new dawn. Yeah. I just need to note, Nick, that you said...

worldly known great guy oh so if you're gonna say worldly known good guy that is a step below chemo chemo all right he's great guy okay good all right we will see if somebody knows the answer to this who provided the voice of kit in the 2008 reboot of night rider via zoom we're checking in with austin hey austin how you doing man morning good how are you guys you guys rock thanks bud appreciate it all right so who was the voice of kit in the 2008 reboot please

Val Kilmer. Yeah. Rest in peace. It was Val Kilmer. Hang on, bud. Got you some tickets. Four pack of them for Monster Energy Supercross Saturday, April 12th. Lincoln Financial Field. Tickets are on sale now. Visit supercrosslive.com for all the details.

All right, we spent a lot of time on birthdays, so let's get right to this. Speaking of Val Kilmer, sources have shared that in his passing that he had been in serious decline for a long time, leaving him bedridden for years until his death. Didn't know that. Yeah. Did not know that. While the late actor was cancer-free, his body had been weakened by years of treatment for throat cancer. According to a source, he said Val was very frail near the end of his life and...

and his death was not sudden. His family and friends were gathered by his side. He was hospitalized earlier this year and saw his health taking a major turn in the past week or two. And it also turns out that a video he posted in February wearing a Batman mask was not an accurate depiction of his condition. The source clarified that that was actually filmed years ago. His last public appearance

was at the Thespians Go Hollywood Gala in 2019 with his daughter Mercedes. And she confirmed that he passed away of pneumonia. So terrible news. And it's unfortunate that it happens that way sometimes, gang. Something a little bit nicer or lighter, I should say. Glenn Powell.

Stop by today with Jenna and friends this week and dodge questions about his relationship with actress Sydney Sweeney. No, dude, they're not seeing each other. Oh, they're doing it. The actress recently broke off her engagement with Jonathan DeVino and was seen at the wedding of Powell's sister shortly after leaving fans think the two might be a bit more than friends now. Host Jenna Bush Hager pushed for details, asking him the wedding caused a little bit of a stir. Did that surprise you?

And he easily handled the line of questioning and said, you know, timing is everything in this world. And he answered it with a laugh. He said, Leslie and Sid are obviously great friends. And it was a hell of a wedding. Why didn't you shut up, bitch? Rumors of the two of them started when they were first promoting that movie, Anyone But You. But nothing's been confirmed. In fact, this week, his mom came out and denied that the two were anything other than friends. Ma! Ma! Ma!

This is a terrible story, and I don't really report on The Real Housewives that often, but Teddy Mellencamp's health struggles continue. The reality star revealed that doctors have discovered four more tumors on her brain. Cannot catch a break. During an emergency MRI. She said to Us Weekly, I'm fighting for my life, but also for my family's life and all the people I love. She was first diagnosed with brain tumors just in February.

And has since been chronicling her struggles on social media. The battle is taking its toll. She stopped using her famed mom's always come back catchphrase with her family. She said, I have not said that line to them since I've been back from the hospital. They all know that I'm fighting the hardest I possibly can, but I haven't said it because I don't want to lie to them. So I hope something breaks in her way soon.

90s action star Jean-Claude Van Damme. Don't talk about him that often. No, not a lot. Facing allegations that he knowingly had sexual relations with multiple women that he knew to be trafficked.

Criminal charges have reportedly been filed against the actor in Romania over the matter. Van Damme is accused of having received five Romanian women as a, quote, gift with prior knowledge that they came from a group of traffickers, according to the criminal complaint. The incident occurred at Cannes, so French authorities are now involved in this and must authorize criminal proceedings.

And the suspects identified in the case will be summoned to Romania to give statements. So we will see what happens with that. Speaking, though, of having five partners or so, different story. Fran Drescher.

is enjoying life these days. 67 years old, by the way, and she told Page Six in an interview that she has a little rotation of friends with benefits who keep her company. And she's in a relationship, is she not? I think so. When the outlet seemed surprised, she said, I'm Fran Drescher, what do you think?

She went on to explain that part of the reason why she maintains uncommitted romantic relationships is that she and her ex-husband, Peter Jacobson, are still very close. They met when she was 15. They married in 1978. They stayed together until their separation in 1996. They finalized their divorce three years after Jacobson eventually came out as gay.

This isn't the first time that she's revealed that she maintains a friends with benefits relationship. In 2020, she told Page Six the same, adding that at the time she saw one person twice a month.

The actress also revealed that the Broadway musical adaptation of The Nanny has been paused. She said, we're going to resurrect it, but between the actor's strike, my dad passing away, and now the Palisades fires, which impacted my house, there's only so much I can do. Well, she played The Nanny because I heard they were working with De Niro on that.

And it's possible, I mean, with a star power. Oh my God. Drescher added that... Liar, whore, liar, whore, you know it. It's a much more aggressive nanny. Drescher added that it's important to be in the right frame of mind to begin necessarily working on a project, and she's not quite there yet. She's had a brutal life. I mean, she was raped by intruders who tied her up. Whoa, really? Yes, and her husband sat there and...

I was forced to watch. Oh, my God. I believe she went after that. Steve, didn't she, like Dan Aykroyd kind of took her under his wing and helped her get past all that? Yeah, he was a godsend in her life. Yeah, she's had some interesting and very difficult and unfortunate things happen in her life. Debra...

Tanya Norville, the longtime anchor of the Daily News, is wrapping up her, the Daily News show, I should say, is wrapping up her career as host of Inside Edition. She told viewers yesterday that after 30 years, she's moving on. I said it's been such an honor and privilege to be here at Inside Edition for all these years.

A milestone like this is a time for reflection, and on reflection, I've decided that now is the time to move on. Now, I heard she was playing the nanny on Broadway. She said, they made me a lovely offer to stay, but there are things I'd like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn't permit. So, at the end of the season, I'll be moving on. The story with her is pretty wild because she was brought on the Today Show to replace Jane Pauley.

And I remember, and I'm sure you remember this as well, Preston, it had all the trappings of the beloved Jane Pauley being replaced by a younger, perceived more attractive, you know, and she just caught so much blowback. It was sort of unfair. But now she's had a long run in this job. Yeah, yeah. 30 years ain't too shabby. She's actually set to host a new syndicated game show called The Perfect Unwanted.

line in the fall. I don't know anything about that. You just have to draw a straight line. That's pretty good. Wow. Let's go to our judges. Yeah! I did this. You won. Alright, so...

Former partners and new parents Megan Fox and MGK, Machine Gun Kelly. How are they navigating parenthood? How are they? Because they're split up. So according to what sources tell Us Weekly, Fox is calling the shots and he is towing the line. They said Megan is allowing...

to be there and be in their daughter's life. It's all her stuff in her diaper. It's all her rules under her roof right now. And he has been on his best behavior. She just focused on their baby and his own love. And the baby was born on March 27th. And they've been. No, it is. That was prerecorded, by the way.

And on a couple of years, they've been off and on for a couple of years. And they split late last year. So they're going to do whatever they can. Come on. Make it happen. Stop it. So for fans of the Hunger Games franchise, the odds are definitely in their favor. It was revealed at CinemaCon that the latest chapter based on the novel Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins will be filming this summer.

And the story centers on Hamish Abernathy, who was portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the films, 25 years before Katniss Everdeen takes part in the games. Because he was a Hunger Games contestant. So this is when he was still working at Cheers. Might have been when he was still at Cheers, Steve. The movie is expected to hit theaters November 26th of next year.

The original trilogy, I enjoyed. Each subsequent film, I enjoyed less. I didn't see the reboot film that was... Oh, yeah, that came out a couple years ago? I didn't either. I thoroughly enjoyed the books. In fact, you said that from the beginning. You liked the books better. I thought the movies were just okay. In the last book, they made two movies out of it, I think. It was just kind of lame at the end of it. I loved the series. I thought the first one was definitely the best. I liked the other ones better.

But I think it was, I forget which one it was. It was not the first one, but I was watching it on a plane and I was in the middle seat and

And I had like work headphones. So I had like the big headphones. I think I was traveling with like my computer or iPad, something. You know, it was a decent sized screen. And something happened in it. It was like a jump scare. And I screamed jump. The headphones went flying off. And again, middle seat of a plane. And both people. What are you?

It wasn't that extreme, but it was a jump. And the people next to me were hysterical laughing. Oh, that's funny. Okay.

I love it. So the first two movies have... Wait, no, that's another story. I put that away. All right, on to Spider-Man, Beyond the Spider-Verse. He's in The Hunger Games? It's finally set. Well, that'd be a little unfair, wouldn't it? I mean, he'd win, right? Yes. But, you know, with all the multiverse stuff, they could probably do it. Crossovers like that would be a trip, wouldn't they? Yeah. The nanny in Spider-Man.

Oh my God, he's got webs in his wrist. Or her in the Hunger Games. Not even a nosh. Well, Beyond the Spider-Verse is finally set to head to theaters June 4th of 2027. That's when we have to wait until...

The third entry into the Spider-Verse franchise was originally scheduled to hit theaters in March of last year. So it just missed its original deadline by about three years. Just do it right. That's all they need you to do. Take as much time as you need, but do it as well as you did the last one. So it's pushed back for a number of reasons. The strike...

And also... And he's playing the nanny on Broadway. That too. And a ton of work for the animators to make. So the first two movies have been very critically successful, as well as financial, raking in over a billion dollars so far. I really liked the first one. The second one, I found to be so kinetic. Yeah. To me, I was not really able to...

to pay attention to it because there was so much bouncing around and one multiverse after another. I don't know. I just didn't enjoy it and I really thought the first one was brilliant. I loved it and I had the exact same complaint and I'm sitting there and I'm going, is it just that my old brain is not... Steve! I was thinking the same damn thing. I was like, am I too old to enjoy this? Yeah, maybe because I thought the same thing too. All right, all right. You liked it? Because he's so young. Yeah, I got maybe just a younger mindset. That must be it. Yeah.

He just likes to do his fullest. He must have been wearing your cool pants. I wear my fancy pants. Fancy sweatpants.

So the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic Michael from director Antoine Fuqua. Is it Fuqua? Okay. I thought it was Faqua with an A. You said dirty words. I'm sorry. Oh my gosh. No. Better jump that. Might be expanding into two movies which could delay its planned October 3rd release. Punish you. Look at my anus. What? What? What?

Kathy, remind me to tell you something. About an anus? Actually, yes. How do you remember to tell Kathy about my anus? I'll tell you right now. I finally watched your fifth episode of White Lotus last night. Were you texting about Sam Rockwell's story he was telling to Walton Goggins? No. That is insane. Oh my God. Never mind.

I was laughing my ass off. What? Sam Rockwell makes a cameo in the show. That's my understanding. His dialogue is hilarious. It's my understanding that a good portion of that is improvisation. I wouldn't doubt it. He was really good. Enough of that. Back to Michael. Stop talking about Michael's anus. Wait, what?

So while the project was a big hit at last year's Lionsgate CinemaCon, new footage was shown at the event this year. And it reportedly wrapped principal photography last May. But script revisions are underway before reshoots. With a budget of around $155 million, Michael stars Jackson's nephew Jafar Jackson in his first major role. Alongside Coleman Domingo, Nia Long, and Miles Teller.

So I saw a clip, but it's got to be from this. It is from this movie. It is Michael crawling through an air duct saying, come out to the coast, we'll have a laugh. I didn't know they were going to go there. Yeah, yeah. And he has like a cigarette lighter in one hand. So anyhow, it might, it may turn into two movies we'll have to see. All right, one last thing, then we'll move on to the clips. John Krasinski and Natalie Portman and their team go all Indiana Jones in the thrilling adventure film Fountain of Youth.

The two stars play estranged siblings coming together again to search for the legendary landmark in the film's title.

The movie also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Carmen Ejigo, Laz Alonso, Stanley Tucci, and Isa Gonzalez. So I don't know if this is in that description or there's any part of this in that description that there is a bit of a Lara Croft element to it as well. Not only mentions Indiana Jones, but if Natalie Portman is playing an adventurer, then I can see her maybe taking on a little bit of that vibe.

So it debuts on Apple TV on May 23rd. So it's an Apple TV thing. We can expect it's probably pretty solid quality because they have a good track record. All right. Do we have clips? Yeah. Right here.

Huh? Thank you. Where is he? So, Martin Ford stars as the biblical figure, the Goliath, in House of David. In this clip, he explains how creating a background for the characters adds a narrative of his role on the show. It would have been very easy to just keep Goliath as that...

big brute that doesn't have a backstory and is just a horrible person that everyone hates and he hates the world and he just wants to kill people. To create this backstory and to also give Goliath the chance to have people sympathize with him. Shut the f*** up! The finale of House of David is streaming today. That is on Prime Video. Here's our next clip.

The Bondsman follows Kevin Bacon playing a man who gets a second chance in life from the devil to hunt down demons. And in this clip, he tells how he wanted to keep his character grounded with all the chaos going on. When it came to Hub, I wanted him to feel like a real person. You know, he's a guy that has this job as a

bail bondsman and you know he's kind of gotten stuck in it he gave up his dreams being a musician you see him just basically at work this is just what he's doing and uh then everything goes nuts

Quick question here. I watched some advance on this. Sometimes they do not know how to sell these shows. I would have had no idea that it has the devil in it and he's hunting down demons. I've only seen the poster for it, so I haven't seen any trailers or anything. I want to watch it now.

The trailers don't really touch on the demonic thing? No. I like the concept. It almost sounds a little like Ghost Rider a little bit. Or Ghost Rider. Season one of The Bondsman is now on Prime Video. That is...

I'm going to write that down. Jot that down, buddy. All right. So we have a few things going on this morning. First and foremost, when we return, an announcement. Some cool information you may want to be privy to. We'll also have Adam Hutter of the World Oddities Expo stopping by this morning. It's taking place this weekend. Pennsylvania Convention Center. And he'll bring by a trove of interesting things for us to check out that you'll be able to see in person. We also have Eric Osborne.

Andre on the show around 9 o'clock joining us via Zoom. That should be pretty solid. And our friends from Red Robin are stopping by this morning as well. Some giveaways, some food for you. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back in a moment. Make sure you stay with us, guys. Yeah, we want to go for a ride in the car. Our tail is so wagging right now.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you, Kathy. So how's about we make a little bit of an announcement here, friends? We're happy to see this event return. We've done it for a few years now, and it has been so much fun. So we are excited to reinvigorate you and get you signed up for the Preston and Steve Show live band karaoke.

At the MMRBQ. It is the Preston and Steve Show side stage. Yes, a few years ago they decided to give us our own stage. And we haven't looked back? No. And so what we do, if you're not aware, I think a lot of people probably do know what we do, but just in case you're not informed...

We have your average everyday people who have never had a chance to get up on stage and sing with a professional band. So they're going to be backed up by this great group called Sidearm who can play pretty much anything. It's amazing, their repertoire. And so this is not a pre-recorded track with a dinky little speaker system that you stand up on a little box and sing at your local pub. No, this is a full-on stage with fantastic musicians in a live environment.

With a crowd that gets into it. That's one of the coolest things about this. These are essentially average everyday people singing on stage. And the crowd loves that aspect of it. That is a wonderful point. Lose any fear that you're going to be vilified or excoriated. Or that produce is going to be thrown at you. They're incredibly supportive. Everyone's in that...

And I love the way... In fact, we've had spontaneous mosh pits erupt during performances. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to get you to audition for this. All right? All you have to do is go to WMMR.com and click contest. And you will submit a YouTube link of you singing. And I haven't checked on how it's going to be done. This time around the past, we've given a selection of songs just so we make it easier. And the songs aren't too obscure for the band. I mean, they can play pretty much everything. But these...

are working guys and they may not have all the time in the world to go and learn songs that they may not already learn or may be too difficult. So that's why it works out that way. The entry deadline is April 21st at 11 a.m. Here's what I want you to do.

If you don't think that you would participate in something like this, I'll bet you know somebody who would. And I would like you to let them know about it just in case the word doesn't get out to them. And you might have to be the friend, buddy that goes, Hey, you should do this. I know you love it and you should get up on stage and be a part of this whole thing and just encourage them to make a quick YouTube. There's, it's very easy to do with your phone, make a video, boom, set it over. And the next thing you know, uh,

Ten singers will be chosen. Each gets a four-pack of MMRBQ tickets. There you go. So you get to bring friends with you or family or whomever. And then you can invite other people to buy tickets and go and enjoy the day of the MMRBQ. So you get to sing. You get to go to the show. It's a full, well-rounded day.

rock day. I love it so much and I love the reaction and I love seeing people who have always sort of flirted with the notion of being on stage finally realize that dream. I love the idea of you encouraging your friend who you know can sing, who you know can carry a tune but maybe is just a little bit shy and doesn't want to, you know, so I'm going to say this right now. My son, you're listening right now,

Get your buddy Dom to do this. Dom. Dom a good singer? Dom's a really good singer. His younger brother is actually a really, really good singer. But he's a little on the young side. But Dom, he's 18 years old. Do it. You do it. Do it. All right. Do it now. Do it now. All right. So WMMR.com has all the information. And we want you to get on board for that. Like we said, the deadline is April 21st. So move on this now. All right. Before it becomes too late.

And then we will see you May 10th at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion for MMRBQ. Love it. And the President Steve Show side stage. And we're celebrating our 20 years here as the President Steve Show on WMMR with some things planned. We'll see how that all comes together. It's pretty crazy, 20 years. I mean, we've been doing it for 27 years. My mom told me last week we were talking. She's like, yeah, she worked at the post office for 24 years. She told me. I go...

24 years, huh? I've been doing what I've been doing for 27 years. Get back in the basement. But anything like that is an achievement. It's

Again, we lose sight of it. I can't process it that it's been that long. Just 20 years here at MMR. But the barbecue will serve as our celebration. Yep. So check the website and encourage people, if you're not going to do it yourself, to get on board. And then we'll see you at the MMRBQ. I saw this interesting Reddit topic that I thought would be kind of fun to throw out to people listening. If you want to jump in with your opinion, feel free to. You can text the word ZOOM.

to 610-660-9333. We'll send a link to you and you can jump on and comment on this. But there were, the question was posed as to who, what profession will you never date?

So you find out, you see somebody, maybe they're attractive, it looks like you might have a connection, but you find out they do this and it's like, nope, that's a deal breaker. It's a deal breaker. So I have a few examples that came from this. Kath, what were you going to say? I have a friend who has a whole list. Really? Yes.

She has a full list. Police officer and firefighter are on there because she would worry about them getting injured. Accountant is on there because they're probably boring. Doctors are on there because they probably work a lot. And then I forget what her cheating list is, but it's like, no, because they'd probably cheat.

Okay. No, professional athletes, she just like laughs at. She's like, well, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, I forget what the cheating list is. Does she adhere strictly to this? Have you seen her violate her own code? No, she doesn't violate her own code. No, she doesn't. Okay. She's like, oh God, no, an accountant? Never. I would never. Wow. Hang on. He could be the hottest accountant on the earth and she'd be like, no. How old is this person and are they still single? Oh.

No, I think she's dating somebody now. Not like super serious, but she's dating someone now. An accountant for the sexers. No, it's not. I've known people that have been very restrictive. And picky. In her defense, she was tall. She was, I think, 5'10".

And she wouldn't date anybody under six foot. I can see some of those physical elements. The advice always case for the many presidency painfully single mixers that we've had over the years. If you're not having luck, think outside the box a little bit. Try something that you wouldn't normally go for. But it's okay to have some parameters that you kind of want to stay within the realm of. I'm not super picky, but when you said this topic previously,

press, I was like, okay, maybe Exotic Dancer would be on my list. You wouldn't?

I remember there was a girl who danced at Club Risqué years ago. This is before I started dating my wife. And she flat out told me she wanted to go out with me. Yeah. And she was really attractive. But I think for me, I was like, I'm not good enough. Like, I think I'd be worried all the time. I can see that. It was more you felt inadequate. Not inadequate. No, inadequate is definitely the word. Okay. But...

Was there something about... I think the thing would be, would you have an issue with the person you're involved with being pawed by... Yeah, grinding on people all the time, yeah. Like an accountant. Yeah. I had a friend who was the opposite case. He only dated strippers. Really? Yeah, and this was when he was in his 20s, and he found... I totally get what you're saying. He...

He loved the detachment. For him, it was just like, this is fun and easy. And if they end up grinding on something to do tonight, they're making money. That's what their job is. And so I was impressed at his ability to completely detach from... He's probably got a huge wiener then.

Probably. Or it can compartmentalize. Yeah, we're both. By the way, also, if you want to jump in and comment, if you work in a profession where you feel that people don't date you because of that, I would like to hear about that as well. That's a good thing. Because I have one in mind. I'm sorry to interrupt, Kathy, but I would think that if you're like a mortuary worker...

Possibly, yeah. That might be kind of weird to some people. Oh, God. I know a few and they're very, like, you know when they stand and they say the family would like to invite you back? That's like what he's having a conversation with him. He's like, oh, what'd you do today? So that's how he is on the job. Yes. He smells like this mild to high. He doesn't smell.

but that is what it's like talking to him. And then you go to his house and there's loads of bowls filled with butterscotch candies like you have at a funeral. Nick, I had a friend who dated strippers but was like, I will never, I won't marry one. It will end and I'll find the right girl. And then he got her pregnant. Oh, hell no.

I've heard that delineation. I'll date them, but I'll never marry them. That didn't apply for them. Do they get married? I think for like a minute. They're definitely not together now. And now on the baby pole. I think they did get married and then obviously didn't. According to this article, here's a couple of things. And some of them are tamer than you would expect. Like this first one says 100% would not date a chef.

They said, I've been a chef for 30 years and my people are the worst. There's a lot of ego there. There can be. I mean, I shouldn't say that's an unfair statement. There often is. And the dynamic between, you know, the people that work in the kitchen and in front of house, like there's a reason why there's a lot of angst in between chefs and sous chefs and servers. And it's a lot of the time is because of the ego on the chef. I

I dated a chef in college and the whole family was in the kitchen. You would have starved to death if you weren't dating a chef. You don't cook. There was no egos with them at least. And they weren't at like fine dining restaurants. I mean, there were a few nicer places that they were at. But I mean, it was kind of how they got through college. But then the dad was into it. I just remember they all smelled the same. Oh, really? They would come home and have that one.

Like whatever type of restaurant they worked at. Kitchen smell. That's what they smelled like. I would wonder if you have chefs who are of a certain caliber, Kathy, if the issue is they're not preparing the food the way I like it or there is, you know, that's how the ego stuff manifests. Yeah, I don't know. You know? All right, we have a Zoomer. We're going to a wild-eyed looking guy named Levi. Who's joining us today? Levi. Levi.

This is awesome. You look very excited. It's nice to have you on. I didn't think I'd get this far. You made it. You made it. All right. So did you want to tell us about your job or a job you would never date? So I'm a farrier. I put shoes on horses. I noticed your sweatshirt. Yeah. It's got a horseshoe. A lot of people, especially like horsewomen, don't want to date us.

Because it's kind of taboo to date your farrier. We're kind of like your hairdresser. We're like a blue-collar hairdresser. I didn't realize this. Like the owners of the horse that don't want to date you? I didn't realize this dynamic takes place. So it's kind of, what is it again? A woman doesn't want to date the person who... Yeah, like the owner of the horse won't date him. He's working on her horse, right? Is that it?

Yeah, like, or either that or they wanted to sleep with us to get free horseshoeing. Because you're a good looking guy. I mean, you know. Well, how expensive is horseshoeing? I appreciate it. I'll take that from you. I've only been shooting for about four years. I'm an apprentice. But yeah, it's a thing that goes up. I think you'd be around like some, you know, some quality women. Have you ever been hit on?

Constantly. Constantly. But well, all right. So I have a question also. Does the term stable boy, is that a negative or would you qualify as a stable boy?

No, those are usually the guys that clean the stalls and they're like, aren't they helping? We're trying to get them out of the barn. Sometimes in the story, in like the, you know... Lady Chatterley's lover? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or the princess bride or whatever. She ends up with the stable boy. Right, right, right. I'm just a stable boy. Yeah, okay. All right, well, that's interesting. And that is a profession I would not even consider. Is the line, I'm just a stable boy, but I have a Shetland pony in my pants? No.

There you go. Hey, by the way, we have a horse lady that calls in and texts in from time to time. And she just texted me. Her name is Katie. And she says that farriers, and I'm sorry to report this, smell bad. They smell like burnt hair. According to Katie, that's the case. Oh, they burn the shoes onto the feet. So do you stink as a result? Yeah.

Yeah, so it's keratin, so it's the same material as your hair, so when you're burning it on, it smells like burnt hair. I see. And so, excuse my ignorance here, so when you're attaching and you're putting the shoes on, they are now burned onto the feet or melted onto the feet?

So you burn them on to see how the shoe fits and then you nail them on. Okay. And correct me, this is not painful to the horse or is there pain involved? No, no. So it's like their feet are made out. It's the same thing as your fingernails. Right. It's keratin, yeah. Right. It's called hot shoeing? Yeah.

Yeah, hot shoeing is the correct term. Wow. So what is hot wifing, Preston? We talked about that the other day. Levi, interesting guy. Thanks for checking in, bud. Wait, what? I'm trying to figure out where you work. Does your shirt say Eat Creek Farm? What does it say?

Okay, so we have competitions for the farriers and blacksmiths, and it's called the World Championship Blacksmiths. There's a Facebook page for it, and we have seven competitions all over the country. And then we have the World Championships of Canada.

and so the people compete to do this and so this is an event t-shirt from that oh gotcha dude i think that's that's pretty fascinating i think that's kind of that's one of the old old besides prostitution it's got to be one of the oldest professions yeah right yeah well we're like prostitutes because we're only making money for bento there you go oh man levi are you single

No, sir. All right. He found the right horse. Thanks, bud. I didn't find my right horse chick. All right. We'll talk to you later. He's like real life Yellowstone. Yeah. All right. So some other people that commented said they would never date a social influencer.

He said, I don't want to be the co-star in someone else's life, much like I don't want the same for another person in my life. Or the photographer. Yeah, you end up being the photographer. I can see that, man, especially with the, that is like 24-7. If you have someone who's actually, that is their career, that's too demanding. Another person commented and said, any profession involving religion, okay.

influencers as well and it says MLM I mean multi-level marketing okay what's that called like the scheme where pyramid scheme oh pyramid scheme yeah I would never take Bernie Maddow and slaughterhouse workers off to the slaughterhouse all right we got Dan who's joining us via zoom let's go to him now hey Dan good morning bud

Morning. All right. So what profession would you never date or do you work in a profession that people won't date you? I would say my profession, jockey driver. I work in a private rail yard. Jockey driver. You work at what is a jockey driver do? Moving 53 footers around off of the train. OK, so why why don't people want to date jockey drivers?

I haven't got a clue right now. I haven't found anybody. Aw, wait a second. Freaking, um, um, mixers. Aw, man. So do you see a noticeable turn for the worse when you bring up your occupation? Is that it? Or is there something else? Do you smell like burning horse hooves?

I don't work with horses. There you go. But you've actually mentioned your occupation and you believe that might be a turnoff because you seem like a nice guy. Yeah, I seem like a nice guy, but I think it's a turnoff. Oh, man. That's hard work. That shows you, you know, you're committed to what you do. Yeah, I'm just getting off of work.

Wow. You work overnight too. You have like long hours because I was thinking like maybe like a long haul trucker might be a turn off for some people because they just be on the road all the time. Maybe. Yeah.

All right, man. Well, hang in there. All right, Dan. Appreciate it, bud. All right. Here's some other examples of something on your list, a profession on your list you would never date. This person says real estate agent. He said, I hate salespeople. And I feel like they're the ultimate salesperson, a real estate agent. Oh, I was going to say, I feel like they're the least salesy. Yeah.

Yeah. Real estate agents? Yeah. I think insurance, I would think, would be, they always get the rap as the most, there's that scene in Take the Money and Run, Preston, where when they throw them in the cooler and he's in jail, in prison, they put him down in the hole with an insurance salesman. No, I would think the ultimate salesperson is car salesman. Yeah. And like having a conversation with them, like, I feel like everything they talk, like anything you talk about with them, there's some sort of like,

sales angle or like it's a policy for that sounds salesy but i don't feel like that with real estate agents yeah all right what kind of profession uh comes off as a know-it-all because i don't think i could be with somebody who knows it all do you know what i mean i think that's just the person yeah all right

This one comment says, a baker. They have an opposing sleep schedule to mine. So that's why they would never date them. But you know what you get? Baked goods. I know. I was going to say, I don't know if I'd want that. Kathy, listen to this one. Somebody says, I would never date a teacher. I've dated a few and they're always sick.

I'm not a germaphobe, but I absolutely hate being sick because they're around all the kids. All the kids. Little germ vectors. Yes. That they might be able to drag some of that home. Yeah. We are going to go to another Zoomer. We have Jacqueline and her kitty cat who's joining us. Hi, Jacqueline. How you doing? Hi. Good. How are you? Good. What's your cat's name? His name is Ripley. Ripley. Ripley from Alien? Yeah.

Yeah, actually, yeah. I thought it was a girl when I first got him. And so I was like, oh, I'll name him after a final girl. No, he's a boy. I put you two together because you have an American Psycho movie poster behind you. Oh, my God. All right. So is this your profession we're talking about? Are you going to talk about one you would never date? It's my profession. Okay.

I am a mental health therapist. I work with kids and teenagers. I'm on the dating app off and on for so long. And the first question always is, oh, are you going to therapize me? Therapize. I could see that, Jacqueline, as a potential...

red flag maybe to use a term, but because you might be concerned that you're constantly being analyzed or wanting someone that the therapist you're dating might be trying to fix you. Yeah, exactly. Is that it? Would you?

No. Okay. I'll be so honest. There's been a couple times I've gone out with guys and I'm like, ooh, what does that mean? It's hard because it's your job, but it's not something you knowingly go into doing. I'm not here to ask you about your childhood trauma or how you're doing. I just want to...

I just want to go on a date and hang out. Like, I think guys, I think a lot of people like overthink it, but like we do turn our therapist brains off. Like it's not an all the time. But you, you yourself, I've always heard that, you know, when I've, when I've had, you know, gone to therapy or whatever, they, they, they themselves go to therapists. It's not like, you know, you've, you figured it all out. Besides, you seem very cool. I'm looking at the wall behind you. I see Antonio Bay, which is from the fog. You're into horror movies.

Oh, yeah. That's like my whole game. All right. You know what? Jacqueline, I don't know what to think about a therapist who is going to cite American Psycho. I know. That's what I was thinking.

and the fog. Let me ask you about American Sleepy Hollow and all these other ones that are behind her here. I think it's because I work with kids and teenagers. They think it's like very fun. I don't work with adults. Okay. I barely ever do telehealth and when I do, it's like a blurred background like no one ever sees it in the house. Well, I approve. I would be very happy to tune in to you as a therapist and see all that stuff. I'd say I found my person. I think I

like to date a therapist, I'd be like, I need help. Help me. Help me for a second and then turn it off when we're done. To me, it's like dating a massage therapist who you always want to give you a massage. No, actually, it would be like, can you give me some coping mechanisms to deal with you? Possibly. How do I deal with a maniac? And by the way, Jacqueline, are you seeing anyone now? Are you single? No, I'm single. Okay. All right. What was the longest relationship you've had?

Tell us about you for a moment. We're going to work on you for a minute here. How does that make you feel when Preston gets invasive with your life? How does that land on you? You're allowed to ask questions. Actually, personal aside, I know Nick, he gave me a radio shout out a really long time ago. Wawa.

You look so familiar to me. Was it the Wawa in Oaks? Yeah, I used to make your son sandwiches. Oh my God. That's so adorable. And she can cook. It's so great to see you again. That's fantastic. How long did you work at that Wawa? Oh my God. Like through college, through grad school. So when they would come in and ask for a sandwich, you would say, what do you mean by that? Yeah.

I would definitely sometimes question people's mental health based off what they were putting on their sandwiches. But other people, you seem very sweet. So do you do you date? Are you picky?

I think I definitely tend to be pickier, especially when I find out more about someone's family life. Okay. I don't know if I need that drama in my life. I try not to be picky. I think I've been doing the dating game thing like long enough to just like have expectations, but they're not like hard and fast. Let me ask a question to you because of your background and what you do. And I think sometimes incorrectly think that it's,

It's wrong to have a type or no, like you said, about family. You don't want to have to deal with that. I think if you set some general parameters up front, that can help you shear off what is going to be problematic. I don't think you should be so rigid that if someone's checking nine out of the ten things you want, that it crashes down because of one issue. But it's okay to have some...

standards or some things that you guide your dating life. By the way, you now owe Steve $150. Yeah.

You're absolutely right, Steve. It is okay to have standards. Look at her. She's beautiful. She's well-educated. She is well-motivated. She's into horror movies. She has a cat. I talk to my daughters about this all the time. Know your worth. And if you're not worth my time, then you're not worth my time. And your time is $250 an hour.

I mean, honestly, you had me at Wawa. Doesn't take much for Nick. All right. Jacqueline, thank you so much and best of luck to you. We appreciate you checking in. It's funny, though. She's so cute. She's absolutely cute. And you have these predetermined notions about

Actually, oddly enough, Kathy, your friend's list does seem to have some viability to some of the different things. Listen, you wouldn't say if you met the perfect person and they work at a bakery and their hours are different that you would accommodate if it's meant to be. By the way, influencer comes up quite a bit on this list.

Do you think that's a product of exactly what you were talking about, Kathy? If you're an influencer, you're all hours of the day, you're doing all these things, then you are, as you said a lot of times, you're going to be the camera person. And is it just annoying? Well, I also think influencers might have a reputation for embellishing and, you know what I mean? Being a little more of themselves. Yeah, and being superficial. And so it might come with that. Yeah.

The more influencers I see on social media, the more I just, oh my God, just shut up already. I was telling Preston that I started watching this series about, I got to get her name right. It's Devil in the Family, the full of Ruby Frank, Frankie, who was the, she was the YouTuber who was creating the image of her perfect life. Mm-hmm.

With the eight kids. Oh, yeah, and it wasn't. And she was abusive. She got arrested for abuse. But Preston, her husband was her camera guy. Her husband had to be up for all of this. And eventually, they are at complete odds. They hate each other's guts. There's also another one, Steve, I think I told you guys about it. I think it's called The Most Hated Person on Instagram. Yes. Watch that one. That's a good one. What is that? It's this Australian gal who...

was lying about the fact that she had stage four cancer. She survived by drinking tea and doing all this. Meanwhile, people who actually have cancer...

were foregoing treatment and dying because they weren't getting what they needed. All right, anyway, a couple other things. And this one I find interesting. These are people as a Reddit thread, professions they would never date. And this one says pilot. My friend is a flight attendant and the amount of married pilots that he has slept with is insane.

I mean, they're bouncing all over the country and they've got they have to stop and stay in certain cities. And, you know, that was another life. That was the classic philandering occupation. Right. Or traveling salesman. Someone also said nurse. They work too much. Strange hours. And I'd like to be able to actually see the person I'm dating. Yeah, but I dig some scrubs.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. You guys find that attractive people in scrubs? Yeah, I do. I don't want no scrubs. Scrubs don't do it for me. No? No, but there are some uniforms that do, like the flight attendants and stuff like that. Yeah. I don't know why, but it makes them stand out a little bit. It does, yeah. Yeah, you dig uniforms, right? Yep. You like baseball uniforms. I like baseball uniforms. Police? I like police uniforms. Yeah, police, definitely. So somebody stated on this one, soldiers and police officers. Yeah.

they have a reputation... They can't have a reputation being unstable and violent to their spouses. This one also says a psychologist... We were just talking to a therapist. Different thing. A psychologist needs a psychologist. Nobody needs a psychologist more than a psychologist, they said. Only fans model is on here as well. Oh, man. So we... Undateable. We just talked about this. Yeah, I mean, so...

that's a case where you're always having to create content and that also incorporates elements that might make an exotic dancer less attractive to someone as a dating possibility. Yeah, it's sexual. It's the same thing. Here would be a tough one. Politician. Oh, God, yes. The public scrutiny and recognition alone makes it an instant hard

pass. And like only fans models, they get paid to screw people. Yeah, this is true. No, that would be a tough one. I mean, you have to live a certain lifestyle. Yeah, for me, it's politicians that always wanted to be politicians. That is more of a turnoff than anything else, if that makes any sense to you. As opposed to someone who found out about a cause and decided to do something about it and it led them to that. Yes. And then they get seduced and start taking the money. Yes. It's the whole process.

All right. Dentist and dental hygienist. Yeah, that's always on the list. Why? This one says, I don't trust anyone who enjoys mouth torture. The BDSM part of it. All right. I dated a dental hygienist before I met Andrea, and we had a really nice time. Let me ask you, Nick. I enjoyed spending time with her. While you were dating, was there a little extra brushing time before you were going over to bed? Abso-freaking-lutely. Yeah.

I flossed more than I ever did before. Oh, my God. I was being judged constantly. No Oreos before you go over? I wasn't chewing an onion right before going out. Kathy, you would have enjoyed spending time with me during that period. There was that one time I thought you were clean.

That week and a half or whatever. I'm going to see this prostate dentist. His name is Dr. Benz. He's a client of the radio station. And they took pictures of my mouth. Nick. Oh my God. My mouth is so freaking gross. I just... This far away, it doesn't look that bad, right? It does. And then a close-up, it's like, oh my God! Ah! Ah!

Wow. Wow. It's not like your mouth. I'm consulting with the hygienist and I'm looking at how perfect her teeth are. And then Benz comes in and his teeth are great. And then I'm looking at everybody in the office and all of their mouths are perfect. And then my, it's like sloth. That's exactly what I was looking at. You're talking to a kindred spirit. I have a tooth fall out sucking a straw. Yeah. Casey. We're in the...

It's like that scene from Little Shop of Horrors where he shows the picture of the dog's back. Yeah. Oh, my God. Listen, I don't think anything ultra-magnified looks all that awesome. Is he a cosmetic dentist? He's a prosthodontist, whatever that is. He works on street corners. Oh, no, that's a prostitute. Oh, sorry. No, it's like dental implants. And, in fact, the state of the art of this stuff is amazing, so I hope.

Is he going to help you with your tooth issue? Yeah. His mire tooth also fell out from eating bread. A roll, if you will. Look, we work with Kathy with the perfect teeth. Look at that smile. Look at that smile. Talk about BDSM. I'll grab the photos for you so you guys can see what I'm talking about. I'm sure they're glorious. I just have to own it. I'm so embarrassed by it that I...

I just have to have it in the forefront because it was just... You let me look in your mouth before. When I started going to my dentist, I actually, and they asked for pictures, I sent a picture of my butthole because I thought... You were so mad. The same thing. It looks better than my mouth.

All right, and then the last one on this list, and we're going to take a break. And Casey, allow me a dad joke here, because it says, I would never date a tennis player. To them, love means nothing. Oh. Look at that. I'll say that. I got to say that, buddy.

Interesting to think about. And, you know, like Steve was saying earlier, you shouldn't fully limit yourself. That right person might be in that profession that you don't think would jibe well. You can take it out for a spin. I thank God my wife made concessions because that is not what she was looking for. All right. We're going to take a break. When we get back, we will dive into bizarre file stories. So stay with us.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you, Kathy, for the B-file. Real quick, butt plug and a couple of sharts here. This one is near and dear to my heart.

because my youngest, Caleb, is such a wonderful person. There was a family in the Harleysville area, and Caleb doesn't know them, but their house burned down earlier this year. A family of six. So my kid has put together a fundraiser for them, which is going to take place this weekend. So Caleb works at Inline 309. Great skating rink. Really, really cool spot. It's where I do my skating.

And a portion of the proceeds this Saturday will go to the Gilbert family. And it starts at 10 a.m. Admission's 15 bucks. And just come by and skate. That's what we're going to do. I'm going to be there. I'm not there as like an appearance or anything. I'm there. I thought you were putting on a clinic. I am there to go skating because I love, love, love roller skating. Now, I haven't done it since I torn my MCL. Oh, no. And I am going on a golf trip. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.

I love to skate. I love it. Do it. Skating will be there when you get back from your golf trip. Here's what you can do. Why don't you go there with the guitar from the studio and show me? Like I said, I have another email concerning that which I'll get to in a little while.

So that's going to be this Saturday at Inline 309. The session starts at 10 a.m. It's just a regular skating session, but if you get a portion of the proceeds, they're going to go to the Gilbert family of Harleysville. So I wanted to pass that along.

And also thank you to Frank. He's the owner. He was actually down at Coco's when we were broadcasting live in Clearwater. I didn't know that. Yep. So thank you, Frank, for allowing my youngest to do this. I appreciate that. All right. Here's a shout out.

It says, good morning. President's hoping to get a shout out from my husband, Kevin, for his birthday on April 3rd. He truly is the best of the best. We listen to your crew every morning. I just want to make his birthday extra special this year. Thanks so much. Long time listener. That is from Michelle Abersold. So...

A short for your hubby. And then this is a really nice one. This is from listener Joy Williams. She says, hey, Preston and Steve crew, I am reaching out to see if you could give a shout out to my husband. He's retiring after 20 years in the military. Oh, man. Been a dedicated listener of your show since he was stationed in Philly almost 16 years ago. Even during deployments, he downloaded every podcast.

and listen while underway, catching up on show breaks. So awesome. She said, you've become like good buddies to him. He's always relating everyday life to things that you've said, like, oh, Kathy would give up coffee over margaritas, or...

Preston only eats a spoonful of ice cream at night. Or Steve really liked this movie. Or Nick went to this national park. We should go too. And sometimes he plays back episodes for me so that I can hear the crew's reviews. And he always gives me the backstory on all the inside jokes. I hope if we have one, I'd love to meet the guy. She says at first it was strange that he talked about radio hosts that he's never met. But now I get it. You've even got me saying, sorry to bother you at work. Gadzooks are randomly yelling, privilege.

If you're willing and able, I know a letter or signed picture would mean so much to him. Thank you for being such a big part of his life and making him laugh all these years. And that is from Blacklistna Joy. And his retirement is coming up in May. His name is Jared Williams of the United States Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer. Nice. Here's a shout out. Jared, congratulations on a great career and what sounds like a lovely wife as well. Absolutely. So congratulations. All right. And...

And I think that's it. And you want me to mention this case? Yeah, on a few occasions if we can for the rest of the week because it's a really good deal. Big friggin' deal this week with MMR. You can get two single-day wristbands for the price of one for the Funplex.

in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. We love this place. Yep, we have been there. We did a Granny Grand Prix there one time. Wristbands offer unlimited access to indoor and outdoor rides, one hour bowling, and select video games as well. So that's a pretty sweet deal. You can get that for half off right now, two for the price of one. The exclusive deal while supplies last is available at wmmr.com slash deal, so go get it. No. Exactly.

WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File. What's wrong?

Brought to you by Sequoia Outback. Stop in for their annual Spring in the Sequoia sale going on now. Route 309 in Hatfield or at Decksupplies.com. And you can experience the ultimate in outdoor living at Sequoia Outback. Asheville, North Carolina police arrested and charged a man in connection to an armed robbery with a machete that took place at a grocery store. Officers responded to investigate the robbery and upon arrival, a store employee told officers that the man had stolen...

A cinnamon bun and some incense. Ah, cinnamon buns are so good. When confronted, the man displayed a machete before running away. That's what I bring when I shop for cinnamon buns. Officers quickly located the suspect to match the description and was eating a cinnamon bun. Ah ha!

Yeah, cinnamon buns, anything like that I think could put me over the edge. Could drive you to carry a big knife and demanding it. The suspect was identified as Jeffrey Bradburn and he was taken into custody. I like cinnamon.

uh, and, or animal rights activists in Ireland are asking for a crackdown on those people who own exotic animals as pets. And the outcry comes as photos have circulated of a full zebra being walked around the town of County Claire and eventually enjoying a day at a local pub with its owner after, uh, the, uh, horse fair that was in town. Can I get a paint from a zebra? Uh,

Currently in Ireland, there's no legislation protecting wild animals like zebras and no licensing requirements. And that means that technically you could own a zebra, a tiger, even a king cobra as long as you have the appropriate license to import it. Six gerbils, two cats, a hamster and a rabbit. The country. I think I want to own a king cobra.

I just saw the David Blaine special. When you do, please insert some sort of camera that we can all access. Yeah. Because I want to have something to play at your funeral. Yeah, I want to see the last moments. All right.

But David Blaine kissed it on its head. So it should be fine. So you want to try that? Yeah. You know, they always report about the guys who can sort of seduce the, oh, wow. They never report the stories about the guys who are, you know, murdered by their freaking cobras. On your tombstone. But David Blaine kissed it on its head. Yeah.

Two Illinois men identified as M. Brunner and J. Frye have filed a class action lawsuit against OnlyFans parent companies, Phoenix Internet LLC and Phoenix International Limited. And they allege that the platform misled users by allowing third-party management agencies to impersonate content creators in subscriber communications. Oh.

Which means the person a user is chatting with isn't the one they see in the pictures and videos. Kathy, do you hire a third party? I do, actually. To correspond with your foot dance? It's not me. It's just my feed. It's Jackie Bam Bam. Yeah.

Maybe sometime we can go out for salad bowls. Or a green muchacho. The shattered illusion of getting to talk to a pretty girl has led the plaintiffs to claim the practice violates OnlyFans terms of service and deceives users seeking authentic interactions.

The OnlyFans fan creator contract acknowledges that third parties may assist creators with their accounts, but the lawsuit argues that this disclosure is insufficient and not prominently featured. That's where you should always read all that stuff. Warning to horny incels. Mm-hmm.

All right, so a 56-year-old Polish cleaning woman was arrested for systematically poisoning her 51-year-old colleague's beverages over several months. Oh, man. We just had another story like this. It's almost identical to this, actually. The victim experienced severe stomach pains and, upon medical consultation...

was informed of internal injuries consistent with toxic substance ingestion. And recalling unusual tastes in her workplace drinks, she installed the hidden camera and captured footage of her co-worker adding cleaning agents to her tea and soda.

The perpetrator, along with a 68-year-old accomplice, aware of the prisoner's actions, were taken into custody. Authorities believe personal animosity motivated the crime, which is a way of saying that the cleaning woman just didn't like that person. She even told her it would be safe to kiss a king cobra. The main suspect faces up to 20 years in prison, while the accomplice could receive a 30-year sentence for failing to report the crime.

Donna Elkins was arrested last week in Florida for allegedly holding two teenage boys at gunpoint while they were fishing near her backyard.

The boys, who were 13 and 15, What are you boys doing? were on a peninsula approximately 30 feet from Elkin's property line when she approached them with a long black pellet gun and ordered them to the ground while threatening to, quote, blow their heads off. For fishing. Yeah, and not on her property. And not on her property. The teen remained on the ground for about five minutes until the 59-year-old Elkin's husband intervened and disarmed her. She's on the right.

Oh my God. Tell her that. Authorities determined that the area where the boys were fishing is owned by a community development district and Elkins was charged with two counts each of aggravated assault and false imprisonment. She was booked into the Bradford County Jail and later released on $25,000 bond. Pelican not likely to blow someone's head off. No, but still you can't go threatening people like that. And that is what I have in the bizarre file for you for now. We are...

Yeah. Our friends from Red Robin are here. Yay! And that means we got to take care of you, my friend. We have the $50 gift card for Red Robin. And we'll have you text the word RED to 610-660-9333.

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 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.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. And before we welcome our next guest, I just want to reiterate we made an announcement earlier, and it's a return of the Preston and Steve Show side stage band, live band karaoke. Yeah. At the MMRQ coming up on May 10th, and we are now looking for...

people to audition for a slot and end up on stage performing before that crowd. You can click contest at WMMR.com and you can submit a YouTube link of you singing. All the information is there on how you do it. It's pretty simple. But the deadline for this will be on April 21st. And just a reminder, if you are not interested, you're not a singer or whatever, you're

you may know somebody that is, and I would like you to point them in that direction. And they will not only come up on stage and sing before the crowd, which is always fired up and ready to hear anybody and everybody do what they do, but also you get a four-pack of MM barbecue tickets on top of that.

We're going to choose 10 singers all together. We're going to have two different sets. And we'd love you to participate. So WMMR.com. If it's not you, share that with someone. And maybe they'll take you to the concert, too. And I love you, especially the fact that the audience is really receptive to it. Everyone appreciates what you're doing. And you're playing, by the way. You're backed by an awesome band. Yeah, sidearm. They're excellent. All right. So we'd like to welcome some guests to the show. The World Oddities Expo.

Is coming to town Saturday and Sunday at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. And we're happy to have back in our studio, once again, Mr. Adam Hunter. Nice to see you, Adam. How you doing, buddy? I've been great. How you been? I've been wonderful. And he brought with you Bizarre Brits. Yeah!

Who is here too. And Bryn is part of the whole thing, right? Yeah, this is my performance coordinator and right hand and manages the stage as well as a brilliant performer. Adam actually introduced me to Bizarre Bryn. Bryn

you played the mutiny. I did. And it was frigging wild. It was great. It was awesome and everyone loved it. Yeah. And you were like bending all over the place and doing all sorts of other stuff. It was terrific. and you, so you guys worked together and you bring as well as the oddities that we're familiar with that you bring in Adam, entertainers as well who are

human oddities in their own right i coordinate all the all the living oddities if you will is this the is this the biggest um uh event of this kind expo of this kind in the country i i mean you're every time i talk to you you're all over the place depends on who he asks we're we're in uh 27 cities nationwide right now yeah and philly is definitely our biggest spot

But yeah, we've been growing a number of cities each year. We did 16 last year. Wow. This year it's 27. And it's a big undertaking. I mean, you got a lot of stuff moving in and out, right? Oh, yeah. It's just a giant...

Cluster. Yeah. Cluster app, yeah. It's awesome. The moving parts are a lot stranger, too. Yeah. I find it's one of those things, like, if your request is weird, people are more amenable to it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, if I was like, hey, can I park, you know, a Toyota Tercel on the floor? They're like, no, a quarter tank of gas, a turn to keys off, a discotank to battery. And I'm like, hey, can I fit eight hearses?

And they're like, yeah, just put less gas in them. And that all works because they probably have no protocol in place and they don't want to seem ill-prepared. That's exactly right. Adam, is there indeed a hearse display at the Oddities Expo? Not this one. In Raleigh.

Okay. This one, we didn't have the space. Okay. Yeah. There's just no space for hearses. You've got too many artists. Yeah. And we haven't had that many fatalities. Oh, yeah. That's good. No temporary morgue at the expo. Explain to people who are unaware, we've had you at a number of times, and when people, you know, they love it, explain what one can find at this event. All right. Quick history lesson. This is the way I like to do this, and it's not going to take 10 seconds, but I'll try to do it in 20 seconds.

Once upon a time, there was a royal treasury. There was a big house on the land and everybody worked around that house. And within that, there was a room where they would lock away masterful art pieces or strange creatures that they had found that were taxidermied, jewelry, things of value. And mostly this guy would show that to his friends at parties. This is 1599.

In the next century, they started to turn that into a traveling exhibition and then sometimes static shops. So there'd be a little oddity shop somewhere that had all of these strange and rare things to see and learn about. And now here we are in 2025 and we've sort of compacted all of them from all over the country into this mega convention that just sort of slithers from city to city. Yeah.

with all of these new performers and classes and sort of a DIY experience. It's cool, though. And I sense, and I know you can either support or refute this, that the appetite for this kind of thing, I think, is getting exponentially more and more. Always, always. There's only two people that come to the show. There are people that are strange and feel at home.

Like Jackie Bam Bam. And then there are people that come to see it to be amazed and gawk. And because of the protection of the size of it, it's not like the old days where they tried to drive you out of town. You can't drive us out of town. We'll eat you. So we're here. Whether you want to be a part of it or whether you already are, it's kind of like home. It's a lighthouse for independence. Love it. Is there anything that makes you shudder?

Hmm. An accountant job? I plead the fifth. But it usually has to do with political ideologies or religions. Okay. All right. All right. What's, I would imagine, besides the oddities and things like that, are there, you know, clothing and stuff like that that's on sale? Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. There's a lot of, there's a lot of amazing artists and they do everything from, you know,

to custom lines of apparel. So there's always all kinds of clothes. There's kinds of prints. I mean, art is a big part of what you would find in,

You know, one of the elements is if you're looking for something unique, if you're looking for something, if you like to be the person who shows up and people go, where the hell did you get that? This is your event. Yeah, we all agree Black Friday is not fun anymore. You know, I used to go out to that thing like we were going to a Lamb of God concert with elbow pads on. It's like, I'm going to get that sale. And shopping now is just...

I don't know. It's very cookie-cut, very homogenized. Very homogenized, poorly made goods. You know, find something that somebody is going to treasure. Find a treasure. So let me ask you, Brent, on the entertainment level, what are we going to see out there that's going to be rocking and different? And anybody suspended by piercings? Or what do we got going on? So, Billy's...

a unique animal because it is our base of operations. So I'm closer connected to more of the performers. So I really curated this show specifically to be filled with clowns. Okay. So there's a lot of clowns. A lot of clowns. But you're kind of clowns. Yeah. Yeah. All right. This is not

The normal clowns. They're quite exciting clowns. All right. Are you going to be doing any contortion as well? I'll be doing contortion. I've got some grinder acts. What is a grinder act? Oh, I said it and I was like, this doesn't make any sense. It's...

It's as close to fire as you can get without lighting anything on fire because convention centers won't let us do that. Right. Hurses and fires. Hurses and fire, yeah. We've got fishhooks hanging from eyeballs. We've got glass walking. I've got sword swallowing. I've got human pincushion.

What's the condition that you have that allows your flexibility? You'd mention it. I'm an alien, and therefore I don't have a fully grown human suit, Steve. Okay, there you go. Wait, you said fishhooks hanging from eyeballs? Eyelids, specifically. All right, so the way that I heard it was fishhooks hanging from my balls. Oh.

Oh, my ball. That totally threw me off. We don't have that. Good. Well, for a second, I was like, well, that's possible. In its own tent, we could probably host that. All right. Yeah. Maybe next year. Yeah. The family, like when, instead of the all ages version, we'll just have its own separate sideshow. Right. Like you want to see the weirdest stuff. But,

From eyeballs. In that world, in that world of things like piercing and doing stuff like that, what's the one that is like close to the edge, like close to going too far? You know what I mean? I mean, I think that's really subjective as to what people are okay with seeing. What would you say it is?

For me, any of the suspension and hook stuff, I don't love that to aesthetically see. But we do promote it as an all-ages event. Like, we don't have burlesque dancers and dancing girls. We have stuff that's actually weird. Okay, right. And not dangerous, you know?

You know, don't it's definitely don't try it at home stuff. This is not for people who are unaware. If you really want to take a walk and see stuff that you haven't ever seen. This is the event. And you brought some stuff with you today. Yeah. By the way, real quick, let me reset. The World Audities Expo is going to be Saturday and Sunday, this Saturday and Sunday at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. You can go to worldauditexpo.com. The times are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. So it's an all day event.

But yeah, it smells like biology class in here when you came walking in. Sorry, that's me. What did you bring with you? So,

Let me add one point to those hours. Oh, sure. So we have a VIP between 10 and 11. Okay. And people can go in and get their shopping done early if they like less of a crowd. You beat the crowd. Yeah. All right. And those tickets are available when you're purchasing the regular tickets? Yeah. Okay. All right. Or if crowds give you anxiety, you can go early. There you go. We have a lot of people that come in headphones.

And you know what? I fully respect that that's your decision. But I would not be calm if I couldn't hear things because it affects my depth perception. Like I'm kind of always looking for ninjas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Aren't we all? Yeah, they're always going to attack. So I did bring a couple of interesting things. And usually I always bring something that you can see. And this time I brought something I'm really proud of. I've wanted one of these for years.

Maybe 20 years. Can you lift that up a little bit? Always been out of my price range. Yeah, I'm getting on it, man. Don't look at me. Adam, we want to wrap up before the evening show. I understand. Although I can come back for that. So this is an automata. And it's a bird in a cage. Okay. Yeah, it sounds cool.

Now, the thing about this is, you know, we live in a day where we're so spoiled with craftsmanship. This is over 100 years old. Wow. It's in great shape. Yeah. And it's articulated. It's moving. Yeah. Yeah. His beak is chirping. Is that right? So that's old school mechanical, what you might find in some classic German clock that was, you know what I mean? This one is Spain. Oh.

Okay. But they do have German. They're called Automata. Have you ever saw the movie Hugo? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, people in the area are kind of lucky. It's a little bit of a hike. But there's a thing called the Morris Museum in Jersey. And they have one of the coolest Automata cars.

displays in the country. I love stuff like that. Me too. Yeah. A big place or is it, I mean... It's a decent sized museum. Okay. So I didn't realize this was that meticulous. That's very cool. How many are these...

Can you find a lot of these? Are these very rare? Like I said, I've wanted one for 20 years. Well, there you go. There's your answer. And they can cost thousands. And I came across this one and it really just needed a little lube. Okay. Don't we all? Yeah. Where did you find it? At his age. Where did you find this piece?

Oh, we don't talk about Fight Club. Sorry about that. I bet it's difficult to find people that do maintenance on stuff like that. It's got to be very hard. It's incredibly difficult to find people that can help you with absolutely any of it. Yeah. You know, because...

I assume restoration, you may find something that needs to be restored, and that alone can be a multi-year effort. The mechanics of this, the restorative arts of paintings and ephemera, pickling a wet specimen, preferably. Kathy always says that. Yeah. Pickling a wet specimen is a nightmare. Right. Yeah. Absolutely. I made this one. And what is that? This is a cycloptic pig. What?

All right. A one-eyed pig. Oh, yeah, a one-eyed pig. Cyclopia is really actually called holoprosencephaly. Okay. And it's a malformation of the top part of your face, your maxillary process. So where it looks like they have one eye, they actually just have an underdeveloped face. Is that right? Yeah. In fact...

Two more Snapple facts. A thousand years ago, they found dwarf elephants in Greece and they thought that they were 25 foot men because of the way that an elephant's molars look. Yeah. And because they had this big cavity for their trunk.

But in old school Greek mythology, the Cyclops had one eye. And they believe this was because before there was PPE like your glasses invented, a blacksmith would wear an eye patch because if he took a spark, he'd be out of the game. So he would block off one eye so that he had one good one to keep working. I shudder to think how many 25-foot men were mistaken for dwarf elephants. Yeah. Yeah.

Adam, can you lift it up just a little bit for the YouTube camera, which is back over on this side? That way our YouTube audience can see it. So if you just lift it up just a little bit. By the way, I'm looking at the Cyclopean pig here.

Does that have an umbilical cord on its stomach? Is that what that is? Or is that a penis? No, no, no. That's an umbilical cord. Okay. They don't come off a life support well. Oh, he's under lighting it right now. There you go. You need dramatic lighting. Light that butt. And you can see there's a metal clamp on the top of this jar. These are like the Rolls Royce of museum specimens. What is that liquid in there, Adam?

Well, first, the initial pickle is formalin. Okay. And then after a few months, it purges some of the...

things that are inside of the specimen, and then we switch it to something that's a little more innocuous. It's not going to shrink everything up like ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol. So with these things like this, and you see the Muter Museum, which they're dismantling, I guess, they have these things that are sealed in all these different liquids. The liquids, we never think about it, but as you're saying, they have to be, I assume, swapped out and...

The liquid has to be replaced from time to time, correct? So after about... Well, there's evaporation for decades. Okay.

Formalin turns into an acid after about 50 years. So it would dissolve its own... It would just destroy the specimen. Wow, okay. As far as the Mütter Museum, they go back and forth. Okay. And I hope they decide that the reality is that we deserve, even us poor second-class citizens without PhDs, to see these amazing specimens on display and learn from them and be inspired from them as the next generation of educators and preservators...

We live in the middle of a mass extinction, and I think there's no more time than right now that we need to really start cultivating the love and the re-engagement of the magic of the natural world as responsible stewards. You should work for Hallmark. Thank you. That's beautiful. Thank you. So what would you say is the piece de resistance? What is the big attraction of these years? Money shot. Yeah. It is we are legion.

Yeah. That is the moral of the story. We are a legion. We are many and...

come as a friend and enjoy. And it, there will be things that sing to your heart. There will be things that dazzle your soul. There will be things that inspire you, maybe disgust you. Um, whatever we're going to be doing to Nick, apparently. Yeah, no, we got you. We'll hook you up. All right. Yeah. Yeah. You'll have some of that stuff on your nutsack. You'll have a nutsack hook. Um,

We're going to have to wrap in a second, Adam, but what's that bottle of whiskey in front of you there? Did you bring that? This was a little gift for everybody, just a little taste. If anybody doesn't imbibe, I understand. But this is one of my favorites. It comes out of Connecticut, I believe.

Tamworth Distillery. And these are small batch whiskeys. This one is flavored with beaver castorum. It's vanilla. Yeah, it's a gland near the beaver's anus. Right. And they use it to flavor raspberry and vanilla candies once upon a time, as Bryn was saying. Bryn's nodding furiously. There we go. Yeah. So we drink a lot of Snapple.

That's why we know these things. But yeah, this is Eau de Musque from Tamworth Distilling. Wow. And I thought I'd bring it for you guys. If you're just, you know, end of a pleasant evening, you deserve a little... You want some beaver ass. Beaver salad. I think that's the fifth or sixth mention of the word anus on the show today. Okay. You are welcome. Oh, uh...

There was a lot of anus mentioned earlier. Before you guys got in here. Before you got here. Fair enough. We're pros. All right. Well, this is, if you have been, you know, saying, hon, we just need to go out and do something different sometime. Yeah. I think we found it for you. It's the World Oddities Expo. We have a number of, we're proud to host a number of conventions that appeal to this type of audience. And if you think you may not be this type of audience, I'll tell you categorically, you're wrong. There's something for everybody. So you got to check it out.

It's this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, 11 to 7. But as Adam said, there's VIP. You can get in an hour early for a special price, I would imagine. And you'll get all that information at worldodditiesexpo.com. But this only comes around once a year. And Bryn is going to be doing it. How many different performers? Seven.

Vin, probably more. I don't remember. So there will be live expos and things like that. Yes, Adam. So one other thing. Can I, a quick shameless plug. Get a little bit closer to the mic, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. Quick shameless plug. My shop, the End Times Boutique. That's right. Is going to be open until 10.

so that people can come after the show or during if they leave too early. And we're at 2152 East Dolphin Fishtown. It is quite literally this country's premier oddities experience. Okay. Wow. Yes, and so it's a smaller taste of what you'll find at the convention. Adam, what's the name of it again?

The End Times Boutique. We're right next to Circle Thrift in Fishtown. Okay. All right. That's our geographic marker. Conveniently located next to Circle Thrift. No, that's awesome. Excellent. People know. Philly loves Circle Thrift and Thunderbird Salvage.

All right. Well, good luck with everything. Hope it all goes well. And we encourage people to go and check this out. World Oddities Expo. It's a very rare and cool thing that we have right here. All face. In Philadelphia. I love it. Thank you, Brandon. Thank you, Adams. Good to see you guys. Thanks so much for having me. You guys are a pleasure. World Oddities Expo, gang. We're going to take a quick break. And after we have a fetal pig in the studio, I think it's time to have a burger. Yeah.

Our friends at Red Robin have given us all kinds of goodies. They have a $50 gift card, and all you have to do is text the word RED to 610-660-9333. We have a chance to win that.

And also, it's valid at Lehigh Valley Restaurant Group Red Robin locations. And Red Robin's new catering menu also includes additions like the Loaded Tater Tot Bar, where you can build your own tot bowl. And also the Fresh Salad Bar, too. And their burgers are world-renowned. We will take a break. When we get back, Eric Andre is going to be on the show via Zoom. So we'll come back with him. Stay put. I'll see you.

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. With eight great bands, including our headliners, Alice in Chains, and Three Days Grace.

Our next guest is joining us via Zoom, and he has by far the coolest lighting that I've seen in any one of these interviews. So hang on. We've got to match that. Oh, all right. I'm going to do something real quick. Turn on some lights, please, Casey. There we go. There we go. Now we've got it going on. He's on to talk about his podcast. It's called Bombing with Eric Andre. Ladies and gentlemen, the incredible Eric Andre. Yeah!

How you doing, man? Warm welcome. I woke up 10 seconds ago. I noticed, yes. You're literally in bed. My dog is still asleep. We appreciate it, though, Eric. It's got a real cool sort of opium den kind of color vibe to it. It looks awesome. Well, you know what I've been doing? My insomnia is so bad that I'm like...

I switched all these lights in my house to red lights and I got the blue light blocking glasses. Oh, wow. My sleep has matured. Yeah, I got a dump out on that, but anyway, it's all good. Hit that cough button, baby. Sorry.

It's been a while since I've done terrestrial. May the FCC forgive me for the sin of saying a word that everyone has known for thousands of years.

Of years. And everyone says. You are articulating our pain. Yeah, no, that's what we have to deal with. But getting back to the other issue of like the blue light and stuff like that, that is a real deal. That's a real deal. That will screw up people's circadian rhythm. It'll screw up. There's a whole bunch of things that people aren't aware of lights on in their room that are effing up their existence. Yes. Oh, I like that. Yeah.

You taught me a lesson in curse words in the lesson about insomnia. There we go. That was poetry. That was terrestrial poetry. Yeah, it's funny. And you bring that point up, Eric. And we learned a long time ago that euphemizing things many times makes it sound 10 times worse than where we just use the regular word.

Way worse. What are these censor boards from what era? The 40s? The 50s? World War II era censor boards? That's who we're still like kowtowing to? Why? What is the... Who are we? Who are we for?

It's completely insane. It's completely insane. I work out in a red light studio. I don't know if it's doing anything, but is it working for you? Is it helping with your sleep? I got a few things going on with the sleep. Yes, it is, but it's one of many tools that I have. I also, before bed every night at 9.30 p.m.,

I do a ton of black tar heroin. I mean, my doctor was kind of giving me a little pushback. It just works. It works. I was listening. I was like, I might want to try what he's going to say. Then you have to try the black tar heroin.

Eric, by the way, you know that you have to run out the prescription because if you don't do it all the way, it doesn't work. You won't get the refills. You won't get the refills. It's an insurance thing. And I have a six-month-old puppy, so if you see me spring up, it's because he's sniffing where he peed on my bathroom floor.

look, I got coyotes outside, buddy, and I can't, I live around a lot of coyotes, so I just don't like to take them out. Oh, he's adorable. Look at this. Is that a Bernie's Mountain Dog?

No, that'd be cool. I wish. I love how confident you were. It's a mini Aussie Shepherd. You know what? It's a Burmese whatever. Burmese Mountain Dog. Boa Constrictor, whatever you call it. Adorable. Man, look at him. Look at his face. What's his name, by the way? Well, right now his name is Dr. Larry Pickles. But it's so long to stay at the dog park that we might...

There's been discussions of a name change. The other options are Benzo, which is short for Benjamin Benzodiazepine. Right, right, right. And Harry Connick Jr. was a name. Harry Connick Jr. Yeah, I love it. They're all a little bit too long. Dude, I know you're going to pee. You're doing the pee walk, and that can't happen.

I like the title. I like the doctor thing. We had a gal that used to work with us and she had a cat named Mr. Sir Sean Connery. That was his whole name. Mr. Sir Sean Connery. I love it when people put that kind of creativity into a pet name. I'll tell you, when you have more than one syllable at the dog park, it becomes a huge thing. Could this current name be truncated down to just Pickles?

It could be, but I'm less excited about it. It's the doctor of it all. It's the doctor. Yeah, and I agree. Because you've earned the degree, you have to flash it around. You've earned the degree, you have to flash it around. I follow you on Instagram, and you posted, we were talking about the death of Al Kimmerer. You posted a scene that we all love from Top Secret, which is the underwater bar fight. The best. One of the best pieces. Is it...

It's a cinematic masterpiece. The underwater saloon fight should be studied in every film school. It's incredible. It's incredible. And every time I watch it, I'm blown away. Do you know one of the, and the X, the thing that really puts the, you know, that puts the button on it all is as he walks out, he sort of like shrugs in a cool guy fashion. I kicked his ass. It's great. Um,

Yeah, absolutely. Chef's kiss. Bombing with Eric Andre. I love this concept. I was listening to a couple of the episodes, and you're basically bringing on comedians and other entertainers who in some form of their endeavors have bombed. You, from what you've done, and you've done stand-up and everything, and I did stand-up for a while. It's a bizarre nuance to it, Eric, because...

Sometimes if you're surrounded by other comedians and you're bombing, it can be a lot of fun if you're with friends. You know what I'm saying? But it has those elements. Do you personally, do you have one point of bombing that just haunts your daily existence? Oh my God, so many. I opened up for Chris Rock one time.

And man, I was in the middle of my set and I was kind of like not realizing how bad I was doing. And this guy just stood up in the back of this massive theater and just went next. And the audience was like, yeah, wow.

That's in the heart. And it was so... And I snapped. I snapped at the guy. I was like, why'd you come up here and say that to my face? The worst. And then the audience was like, okay, who are you? Where's Chris? And also, like, I'm selling...

If Chris Rock is selling rhythm and blues, I'm selling punk rock at the jazz festival. Nobody wanted my music. I was like, blah, blah, blah. And another thing, not a single reference. People are like, who is this guy? What is he talking about? Sometimes you're in the wrong room. I mean, it happens. I was in a club one night, and a guy was just offering up.

Not much. And the crowd wasn't giving him... Nobody was being mean to him. They weren't heckling him, but they weren't responding. And I saw the guy do this. He turned on the crowd. Oh, no. And started blaming the crowd. And I was like, no, you can't do that, man. Hold that merit to thyself, my friend. Yeah. You know, it's funny. I was watching you with Ted Danson. He was interviewing you. You were talking about the Eric Andre show and the 11-minute time frame and learning how to define who you are

so that you work for the audience. It's something you have to learn over a while. And you were kind of brilliant about the way you were going about knowing what, if you're going to be, for example, like you did the prank movie Bad Trip. If you're going to do it, you have to realize how not to lose the audience in all of that. And you got to find that sweet spot. And you made me think of talking about bombing. I saw a guy come out one time and he faked being deaf to get the audience on his side. I said, can you not? And when he revealed it,

He could have played it the right... He did not play it the right way, and the audience went bat-ass crazy. Uh-oh, they turned on the microphone. But, I mean, for you, what you do is so much... This absurdist sort of stuff that's so brilliant. I mean, you have to test it. Was that an arduous process, finding your voice for this? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, finding my voice for comedy? Yeah, I would...

we kept like getting in trouble the first few seasons of the air con to show, like I got arrested and, uh, you know, guests would like publicists would like try to boycott us and stuff like that. It was, um, I mean, you know, kind of by design, I guess, but, uh,

Being arrested, it's really bad for production when you get arrested while you're shooting. Yeah. It's not good. The insurance policy goes up, first of all. A lot of things I didn't think about when I was 28, 29 years old. Yeah.

But I'm middle-aged now. Well, in middle age, you've had a successful career. And I want to ask you about two particular things because I've been a fan of yours for a long time, Eric. But the two things that come to mind for me most are Popstar, the faux TMZ scene with you. Wow, thank you. And Righteous Gemstones is just unbelievably great. It's such a wonderful show. What was your experience like on that show? They're the best. Danny McBride and his...

his whole company. Like they're just the best. They, they film in Charleston, South Carolina, which is like one of my favorite towns. And, uh, I don't know. They got it dialed in. They're so talented. The writing is so good. They got such a good cast. Um, I learned a lot just from being on that season of the show and, uh,

And I don't know, they're just an absolute pleasure to work with. No, your story arc was fun, especially as the rock star, you know, pastor, which must have been a blast playing out those scenes. But I because I watched it, Andre, but it's been a couple of years since that was out. But did you and John Goodman share scenes together?

we shared scenes and we shared a bedroom together. Very good. That's amazing. Which a lot of, we're not really supposed to talk about, but yeah, when you get, and his wife had to come around to the whole thing. Yeah. There ain't no, John, John, it's the best, by the way, he's like the best legend. I, I, I was like very intimidated by him, but he, he, um,

he made me feel at ease. He's very sweet. And he liked that. He just kept asking me questions about Howard Stern. He was like, man, what you do on Howard, man? Did you really take a Viagra on Howard? I'm like, yeah, I really took a Viagra. You're crazy, man. Dude,

He's known for a history of, you know, I mean, he's... Back in the day. Back in the day, he was a hardcore partier. Preston has a story. I saw him at a strip club one night in St. Louis. He had a stripper on his piggyback. He was running around behind the bars. I couldn't believe it. He's having a grand old time. He's just having a grand old time.

Going back to your podcast, Eric, your fellow comics have got to love sharing their bombing stories. They've got to love that this is what the focus is on this. Oh, yeah. It's cathartic. It's like group therapy. Comedy and a career in entertainment is traumatizing and it's endless failure. It's a career of never-ending failure.

failures and mistakes that you have to learn from. It's trial by fire. So everybody has, and we have, you know, musicians on and actors on and directors on and chefs on. So everybody can relate. It's really stories of failure that everybody and anybody can relate to. It's funny because one of the legendary, the great, great Norm MacDonald, when the story was he would, he would sometimes,

purposely bomb out to make the comedians he was touring with laugh and I forget who came up after him it may have been maybe it was David Spade or something and he goes Norm Macdonald ladies and gentlemen

that's what you got tonight. Knowing that you got that mischievous Norm MacDonald. Yeah, he was the best. Yeah, there's a whole plethora of possibilities with the podcast. And this stuff is terrific. So really enjoyable. Awesome. You guys can come on any time. What's the worst gig you've ever had in your life? Or what's the worst show?

What's like a nightmare? Give me a... I can tell you one quickly. We were just talking about we had a giveaway at our old radio station where it was for the Super Bowl. And we were going to bring what was told to us was a large screen TV set. It was like 25 years ago. 25 years ago. Preston, how big was that screen? It was 35 inches. 35 inches. Eric, they moved like a 55, 60 inch set to make room for the new set. Yep.

We show up and in the basement they have a projector. They have like 150 inch TV. And we showed up and we felt like throbbing units walking in there like, oh my God. And we had to spend the evening with them watching the game. It was just excruciating. Yeah.

Now, I just found out that you cannot say throbbing unit. Oh, damn it. All right. We'll fix it in post. I will send you an invoice. All right. Thank you, man. All right. We know you got to talk to a lot of people, Eric. Thank you, guys. We're huge fans. Huge, huge fans. Thank you for joining us. I appreciate it.

You got it, man. Of course. Thank you, guys. Good luck with everything. Bombing with Eric Andre, guys. I love that guy. He's fantastic. Have you ever seen him in Popstar Never Stop? I am. Just parts of it. I need to see the whole movie. Will Arnett is basically playing the Harvey Levin.

But every time they do things, the reporters, the TMZ reporters, just like the show, start cackling. And he starts cackling so much, he starts going...

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. Excellent. All right. Hey, I wanted to real quick. I mentioned this at the top that we announced live band karaoke for the President Steve show side stage at the MMRBQ. Sidearm is coming back once again. They're going to be the backing band. This is not like regular karaoke. This is not playing to a track.

This is you jibing with other musicians on stage, having that communication that musicians do when they're live in front of a really cool crowd. This could be you, but I want to stress, if it's not you, I'll bet you know somebody who would love to be a part of this or maybe needs a little nudge to do it and send in an audition YouTube link.

which is real easy to set up. Even if you don't have a YouTube account, you can slap one together like that and send it over to us. Very simple to do. WMMR.com will walk you through it. The deadline for this is April 21st, and the 10 singers who are going to be chosen are also going to...

four packs of MM barbecue tickets. Which is sensational. And I will always intend, and when you mention this, Preston, the fact is, is that everyone has gone up. The reaction from the crowd is so cool. You will feel like a, like a rock star for a couple minutes. I tried to feel like a rock star the other day. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I have another little follow-up to that. Yeah.

We were, just to reiterate, it was on April 1st and we were playing Nobody's Fool from Cinderella. And in the video for that song was one of the first times I've ever seen somebody throw the guitar around their neck, especially backwards. I had never seen that before. And Jeff Labar of the band, that became kind of a trademark. He taught him how to do it. And his brother had emailed me the other day to say he actually learned it from another band.

And then he gave me this story about how the fact that when you try to do it, you have to have the strap set a certain way. You have to have certain mechanics and it definitely won't work with an acoustic guitar. But I tried it with an acoustic guitar. Banged my head. We got a video out of it. Here's the audio. Oh! He said I'm suffering, man.

That was the moment. I got another email concerning this. And this is from Michelle. And she said that Eric Brittingham...

once broke his wrist after a show at the Spectrum. I worked at an insurance company that insured the band and had to call him the next day for the accident details. And his wife told me that he's kind of in a band and he swings his bass

And I said, yeah, I was at the show last night. So apparently he broke his wrist. Doing that very thing? I guess doing that very thing, yeah. So he was with Cinderella. You got off easy then. And even the guy in the band hurt himself at one point. What made... Dude, that's like the Benson Boone or whoever that performed at the Grammys. Did the flip off. He did the flip off the piano. Oh my God.

You're taking a risk there, buddy. Could have gone bad. In front of a huge audience. And all of your heroes and peers that are sitting in the audience right there. But he nailed it. Yeah. But you're right. I mean, that's what you got to say. There is no room for screwing up because we've seen, you know, I just think of the Steven Tyler on stage falling off. I think of who got clocked with the curtain. That was Brett Michaels. Brett Michaels. Yeah.

He had a brain bleed after that. Chris Novoselic, he threw his guitar up. Yeah, his bass. Dave Grohl. Dave Grohl. Hit him in the head. Oh, yeah. Dave broke himself up real bad. Yeah, he had that thrown for at least an entire tour. And it just sucks when you do that in front of people. Yeah, it really sucks. God, yes. It sucks awful bad. That's way worse than the pain. Yep. Most definitely.

I had my youngest and I went to Acadia National Park for a visit and I was walking out on the it was low tide. So all these rocks were exposed and I walked out on the rocks and, you know, I knew they were probably slippery, but it didn't matter. And I was by myself is right by our hotel and I did a full on legs up in the air. Boom.

Before the pain even set in, the first thing I did was to look around and see if anybody saw it or not. Nobody was around. So thankfully. And then I passed out. I'm going to then bring up one which was because we heard it. We didn't see it. The Blarney Castle in Ireland. Oh, God. That hurts so bad. It's covered. We're in the castle, which is, you know, it's obviously it's an old castle. You go up, you kiss the Blarney Stone. But you can go into the actual opening of the castle up front.

pressing goes off. And then all of a sudden you're, ah! Yeah, that was bad. When my kids were little, they used to do these pep rallies at the school every Friday. Not every Friday, but like during football season. And so they would have these games and they asked me to emcee these things so I would emcee it. And they were doing this like relay race of sorts and one of the teachers was in the relay race and she was...

you know, probably in her 60s. And she just tripped over her own feet, fell like a ton of bricks, smashed her. Like, she didn't even have, like, time to put her hands up to break her fall. So, like, she basically bounced her face off of the gym floor. Oh, my God. And I actually, I mean, I knew it hurt, but I felt worse for her peace of mind than I did for her actual, like,

You said somebody wiped out yesterday. Yeah, I did. And my daughter's tracked me. This girl was about to win the 100-meter dash. She was about to win? She was about to win. This is about 10, maybe 15 yards from the finish line. Now, the girl on her right was coming up and I think maybe was going to pass her anyway, but she just went down like a ton of bricks. Oh, my God.

I'm surprised that she wasn't all bloody because it wasn't like one of those clay. Was it cinder? No, not even cinder. It looked like blacktop. I don't even know if it was soft or black, but dude, she went down like a ton of bricks. You could hear it.

It's wild to see the way the body can literally bounce when it comes down that way. It is simultaneously terrifying and you feel empathetic, but there is part of us that makes us laugh as well. All right, well, listen, while we have a couple of minutes to play with, I have noticed a couple of things that...

Now with head wound. He notices the type doesn't look quite right. My friend Steve McClain texted me yesterday out of serious concern. And he's like, dude, don't take that lightly. He said he had a friend who...

hit his head and then like three or four days later had a brain bleed wow yeah he wants me to check it out with Dr. Mike well before we do that we do have an electric guitar in Zach's studio no no no no it's done now that we know it has to be modified I know I noticed this is a really interesting story um

How many of us have been to France? Me. No. I have, but it was... Did you go swimming when you were in France? Yes. You did. Beach or public pool? Both. Okay. So I'm wondering if this is the same... Well, actually, it is. It's been around forever. If you go to France for vacation, you might not be aware of the rules surrounding swimwear for men. Does this ring a bell? Nope. Okay. So...

While you can wear what you like if you are headed to the beaches, if you use a swimming pool, the rules are tighter. Many pools in France prohibit the majority of baggy or loose-fitting swim shorts and instead insist...

that men don a pair of tight-fitting trunks to swim in their pools. Well, I did notice that. Sub-noticing, you're noticing. And, you know, it's kind of a stereotype, but French dudes wear in Speedos. I mean, it's kind of traditional in Europe, period. Yes. There's actually a reason behind it. Okay. I think I can guess what it is. Okay. The tight fit sort of keeps everything in? Like... I thought that too, but that's not the case. It isn't, huh? Filter stuff, right? So...

So many pools in France run by Eurocamp, the holiday park giants that have sites all across Europe. And they have this rule and they explain why, which many Brits, this is a British written article, find it to be strange, intimidating, perhaps not fully understanding the reason behind it. And it has nothing to do with the French style. It's simply because of hygiene and safety, they claim.

Euro camp explained saying, unlike body fitting swimming briefs, most styles of men's shorts can just as easily be worn throughout the day with some even having pockets. As such, they'll pick up more dirt and dust, contaminating pool water.

Also, loose shorts retain a lot more water when you're getting out of the pool, leading to slippery puddles of water on the sunbathing terraces. So it's just that efficient. They think that it actually does make sense. At the Y, it's not like they require it, but there is a sign that they want you to basically shower before you go into the pool or the hot tub. Really? Yeah. And so I went into the hot tub. This is a few months ago. Yeah.

But I was in the sauna and then I went to go hot tub afterwards. I'm going to step in and this guy was in the hot tub and he's like, yo, and he points up at the sign and I'm like, F you, bro. He's a rules dude. Yeah. And I'm not like a read the signs guy. The sign said you had to bathe before you... The sign said a million things, but one of the things it said was, you know, uh...

Wash off before you come in. Now, I said a rules guy as if that's a bad thing. I am actually a rules guy, believe it or not. But that one I find kind of stupid. This water is chlorinated. It's chlorinated. You've got another chlorinated. If you're going from the pool to the hot tub. From gym to hot tub or sweating. Is it a sweat thing? I don't know what the intent of that rule is. I think it's the sweat. I think the perception is that you should wash off your sweat before you get into the pool. Get into a hot tub and sweat.

When you are in warm water like that in a hot tub, because I know when I get out of a hot tub, I will start sweating. Yeah. Aren't you releasing sweat into the water anyway? Yes, you are. I don't know. That's what I would think. I don't know. All right.

I never realized that I sweated while swimming until I was in swim practice and then afterwards trying to put my school uniform on. Yeah, but are you actually sweating while you're swimming? I don't think you are. I think it's raising your body temperature and then when you get out and you hit the air is when... That's the shift. Is when you start to actually sweat. No, I'm totally sweating. If I'm swimming a mile... Thank you. If I'm swimming a mile, if I'm swimming constantly for a half hour or 40 minutes...

I'm definitely sweating while I'm doing it. How do you know you're sweating when you're submerged in water? Here's the answer. Here's the answer. Sorry. Yes, you sweat when you swim, although it may not be as noticeable as when exercising on land because the water helps cool your body and the sweat evaporates quickly. And then it gives a full detailed explanation afterwards.

as to why that happens. And that's very lengthy. So yeah, according to this, according to Google, you sweat while you're swimming. Yeah. All right. So, uh, anyhow, they also said that wearing tighter swimwear, wasteless water, like I said, um, uh, the material in tighter trunks are made, uh,

They're made of usually dry faster, which also staves off potential buildup of bacteria. So it would be like a... They used to stop years ago, some of the pools we'd go to, they'd stop if people had kind of made their own... Yeah, cutoffs. Cutoffs. Like we wouldn't... I remember being told to get out of the pool because I was wearing cutoffs. Yeah. And I was a regular cutoff wearer. Yeah. But I had heard...

Because, you know, there's all those frays at the bottom of the cutoffs that they may get in the filtration system. So, I don't know. Ah, hell. Ah, hell. I've been lucky enough to go to France a bunch of times. And one of the times where I went, I stayed with this family. They're called the Manzos. And Sebastian Manzo and I are still friends. It's a cool thing of Instagram. We're able to connect with one another. And one of the things that Sebastian and I did for each other was translate movies.

So this relates back to what you're talking about, Preston. The French word for pool is piscine. It's P-I-S-C-I-N-E. That is also the word for a fish pond. So we were watching Caddyshack one time and the joke of pool or pond is...

doesn't translate into French because it's the same word. So I had to explain to him the joke of, yeah, we got a pool and a pond. And he's a cinephile. He loves American movies, but he just did not understand that joke because in French, piscine is both pool and pond. Isn't that funny? Wow.

Yeah, yeah. That's very interesting. So once you explained it to him that it's a little more gross, there's dirt, there's mud, there's animals, there's bacteria. Right, right, yeah. But the French word for pool comes from a fish pond. And so when they translate it in the movie, which we watched the dub version of it, yeah, he didn't get it. What was his last name? Manzo, M-A-N-Z-O. Yeah, you said the Manzos. It sounds like a euphemism for boobs to me. Manzo? Check out the Manzos. Manboobs.

We're going to manzo's on that guy. Yeah. All right. So anyway, back to this real quick and then we'll move on. They said that you don't have to wear tiny itty bitty Speedos. You have to wear Speedos. It says if you are not keen on slipping on a pair of conventional Speedos, you can still opt for swimming shorts. Just make sure they're more fitted and above the knee and opt for fabrics that are designed for the water. By the way, I am wholeheartedly a bathing suit with a...

spandex liners guy and I will never ever go back. Those are good. Yeah. Yeah. My dad always wore, I mean, growing up, we were the family whose father had a Speedo on. Like he refused to wear regular bathing suits and my mom would, because he was, you know, he was a skier, a water skier. Like,

He felt like it was lagging and dragging. He would swim laps and all that. He would have the Speedo on. We would go on vacation. My mom would be like, put a regular bathing suit on. The kids are getting older. They're teenagers. Put the regular bathing suit on. We were on the beach. We were laughing at him because he didn't want to buy a new bathing suit because he didn't like it. He took one of my brothers who at the time were

larger than him already. So he's wearing this oversized bathing suit and he's complaining, I hate it, it's sticking to me, it's hot, whatever. My mom's like, well, then buy a bathing suit that fits you. So he's standing on the beach and he was like, F it. And he ripped the bathing suit down and he had his Speedo underneath it and he jogged from wherever we were sitting into the ocean, dove in in his Speedo. We were...

hysterical laughing. That's great. I mean, at that point, I was like, Mom, we don't care. Just let him wear the stupid Speedo. Oh, my God. That's fantastic. He still does. Like, even... Like, he won't wear the little, like...

teeny ones, but he'll wear like, it has to be shorter shorts and, you know, very European. So I have this story about seeing a man wear an interesting bathing suit on the, on the beach. And it's got a Philadelphia celebrity tied to it. So I was probably, I don't know, 10 years old, something like that. It was in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I've told the story on the air before. And it was Chubby Checker who,

Who was on the beach. I ended up becoming friends with his son, Shan, at this. Yeah. That's where I met him. But Chubby was wearing, I mean, full-on butt floss. Are you kidding? I mean, G-string. Was he living up to his name? Out on the beach. I didn't see the front part. I just saw his, literally, he was out there with Shan building a sandcastle. With his full ass. On hands and knees. Yeah.

And yeah, it was like the talk of the resort. I don't know, man. I know. I listen and you may have a spectacular, perfect ass, but I don't want to see it. Steve, if you're Chubby Checker though, like...

Yeah. You've earned it, right? I guess you have. Apparently he was on stage of the show that night and talked about the bathing suit causing a stir. And some women go, you can wear whatever you want, sweetheart. So anyhow, but if you're in France, you have to wear a tighter suit. They're not going to kick you out or anything. Get out! They recommend it. All right. I noticed another thing.

So there's a dating app that is called Tribal. And it's different in that it promises a match with someone without showing you their face. And how do we feel about this? Some people consider it a beautiful testament to love and others will consider it a nightmare.

I couldn't do it. I mean, I could try it maybe, but you know, I couldn't see. I need to know. I've been looking forward to this day for so long. No, because I mean, I feel like it's been my experience that there was a physical attraction first.

Yes. With anybody that I've dated. We are site-based. Yeah. At least on the... On the onset. On the onset. You know what? And listen, it is absolutely, it's happened to me before. People that you... And it goes both ways. The movie Truth About Cats and Dogs, one of the characters mentioned this. Somebody who is really beautiful, but you get to know them, can become very, very ugly.

who they are. Right. And the opposite can happen. Somebody you might not give a second glance to, if you spend enough time with them over time, they can become more attractive to you. Yes, it does happen all the time. Initially, though. And it's not just a physical thing. But initially, yeah, we all have that, right? That's what you do. But this is called Tribal. It was created by clinical psychologist Rachel Harker and it's to encourage singles to focus on more than what someone looks like. There's finally hope for goobers. There's hope for goobers.

So they can form deeper, more meaningful connections. Goober. I love that word. It's a great word. It's just a funny word. Goober. He found it funny. But his correspondence, you know, I really do love candy bars. Judging a person purely. We've made a love connection. Sloth and Nell.

You want to kiss me? Okay. Judging a person purely by their photo has fostered a culture of objectification and self-surveillance that isn't healthy or sustainable, she says. I kept thinking there must be a better way to use technology to connect people in a more positive, authentic, and meaningful way. I think, listen, it's nice if you can connect to someone physically.

You know, on a more profound level. And that has happened. And there's been many cases of people who didn't meet someone or talk to someone at long distance over the phone. And that can be wonderful as well. I don't mean this as an insensitive question, but would this be a good app for a blind person?

Yeah. I mean, and are there dating apps for blind people? Let me see your face. Oh, you're a pig. So Harker got the idea for Tribal, which is both a friendship finding app and a dating platform. And here's how it works. Users are matched based on shared values, interests, and communication styles. After answering 44 questions for Tribal Dating and 33 for Tribal Friendship.

But what makes it really different is it blurs the user's profile for 72 hours. Okay. So you communicate with them for a little while and eventually they show it to you. It ain't blurred enough. This is like Boca. I can tell the dude on the right is a good looking dude. Yeah.

Well, that's what they're using for an example. Yeah, yeah. During that time, they can hear... If you can't determine how many eyes the person has... They can hear their match's voice with a voice memo feature, which helps add a layer of human connection on top of the text-based chats. The idea...

is that singles will form deeper, more meaningful first impressions without seeing each other's faces right off the bat. It's kind of like that, the blind... Love is blind. Love is blind, thank you. Where they don't see each other and they communicate. They do that for a while. Do you know what it is? It's kind of like a shortcut version of that.

You can find them on YouTube. They have the old files from those dating videos, those services that would do, you know, and that was the whole purpose. You know, you could put yourself up and out there and kind of see the person. What do you think about this? Would this ever have been anything that would have appealed to you? In my dating days? No. No, without question. I...

I think I've told this story before. This is one I'm embarrassed of. Okay. And that I regret. Right. And that I handled this the wrong way. But there was a girl. Back in the day, you had to talk on the phone, the landline. And there was a girl that knew somebody or whatever. I was talking to somebody. And this girl was over their house. And I'm like, put her on the phone. And so we started talking. I've never met her before. Dude, we talked forever.

hours. It was great. Hours. Really getting along wonderful. And I'm like, oh man, this is, this could be really cool. And so we planned a meetup. All right. And she was going to be in her neighborhood waiting outside. Yeah. By this. That's where she lived outside. There was like a little roundabout in her neighborhood. And so she was going to be waiting there. And

And I said, okay, I'll drive by. Here's what my car looks like. And so I come pulling up. Oh, no. This is so mean to say, but this is me, teenager at the time. I was probably 16 years old, 17 years old, something like that. And she was gnarly looking. So gnarly. Oh, gnarly. Now, she doesn't know what I look like either. Right. Okay, so... She knows the car though, right? Dude, we made eye contact. And I just kept on going.

And I, to this day, feel horrible about that. You dick! I don't remember her name. No further communication? No, she called me later. I'm like, I went by there. I didn't see you. Oh my God, it must have gotten lost. I totally lied, Kathy. You feel terrible about that? Yeah. Just as bad as splashing around in the toilet so you could leave? Oh, no. That was him being smart. Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty bad, too.

You got what you wanted, jumped in her toilet and left. I'm out of here. At least she got some. Pretending like I was throwing up. I got to go. So sick. Are you the one we spoke to? No, you're too unattractive.

Thank God I have this show to say sorry and hope it goes out in the ether and just get it out of my system. But yeah, so no, Steve, this would not work for me. No, OK. I don't think so. I need I need visual. There needs to be an initial physical attraction. And like I said, things can change after that. But off the bat, it's got to be that way.

So if this is something that's interesting, you can check that out. Interesting to you. To me, the app would be more of an experiment. Those photos are not blurred enough to really not give you an indication. Our blind listener, Tucker, wrote in a text about dating sites for blind people, Preston. If you want to read it, it's right here. It says, dating sites for blind people would make no sense. I don't want to date a blind person.

I need someone that can drive an effing car. You're right, Tucker. Thank you. Appreciate that. But on that same note, I do have a friend who's single now and is checking out. Dipping the toes back in? Just to see what's out there. Oh, my God.

Yeah, he sends us the funny ones. The amount of blind poonch hangout. He sends us the funny ones, not the... Oh, really? Good, bad, and everything in between? The...

No, no, the ones that are like, oh my God. Oh, okay. Look at this picture. What are they doing here? Why did you take a picture like that? Not just like ugly or anything like that, but really in front of... You're taking an unclean toilet or whatever behind you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff like that. So yeah, that'd be cool, but yeah. Is there one particular app that's being used above others? I don't know. I wonder what the current...

Yeah, the in-demand app is these days for people who are using apps to date. I mean, I wonder if Tinder's still the...

Most popular. But like honestly, Instagram. Instagram. Because you built a community and sort of you can do friends of friends, Steve, and it's ways of meeting people that know, you know, that have similar interests or whatever. And you can put yourself out there in a way that's not, hey, I'm here to date. Yeah. But if you want to use it for that intent, it's there for you. Speaking of Instagram, there's something else that I noticed. Oh. And it is from Visual Capitalists. They have come up with the list of the most visited websites worldwide. Wow.

And so, you know, these can have app tie-ins as well, like Instagram, because that's either, you know, you can do either or. The scrollers. Yeah. So unsurprisingly, Google is the world's most visited website. It's a search engine. But people spend nearly double the amount of time on YouTube.

So you may go, you may have a certain amount of visits on Google, but you'll spend more time on YouTube. Do you remember the story we were talking about? The YouTube guy, the guys who created YouTube and they had, you know, just at the beginning. And there's some video footage of them sitting around talking about they're like worried because there's nobody submitting videos to YouTube. And then they sold it about what, a year later for $2.

$3 billion or whatever? It was one point something, I remember, because I ran into one of those guys. It was at...

I mentioned this before in Conchock and there used to be a restaurant. Basketball player owned it. Billy C's. What's that? Billy Cunningham. Yeah, it was Cunningham's. And I met one of the guys there. It was right as the YouTube sale went down. I forgot who he was, but I knew he had local ties. Young guy. Unless the guy was lying to me. He was a young guy. There was a Philly dude. It was $1.65 billion. Yeah, there you go. Now owned by Google. Wow. And imagine what it's worth now. $1.65 billion.

1.65 billion versus now. Stop and think about it. As you said, so it's the second most visited site globally. I mean, that is an amazing amount of revenue. So when it comes to social media platforms, well, going back to YouTube for a second, on average, people spend 20 minutes and 47 seconds on YouTube, the highest amount of time of any of the top 20 visited websites worldwide. Now, I don't know on average in what

Is that per week? 20 minutes and 47 seconds? It's per hour. It's got to be per hour, yeah. When it comes to social media platforms, people spend more time on X than Facebook and Instagram. But...

Instagram actually ranks number four on this list. So here's the top ten in order. So you have Google, then YouTube, then Facebook, then Instagram is fourth, followed by X, WhatsApp, ChatGPT is seventh. Then you have Wikipedia.com.

Reddit is number nine and rounding out the top 10 is Yahoo. Virtually never on Yahoo, virtually never on Reddit. The other ones, yes. I spend for ease of use. I end up on X a lot, Instagram a lot.

I was just streaming on Instagram last night. But you know what the problem is? Facebook to me is such a pain in the ass. The only reason I maintain the accounts, I have a couple, are to access the live streaming function of Instagram. And for my meta, my headset. The only reason I hang on to Facebook is if for some reason I need to contact people.

Right. Because mine is mainly like people from my childhood. Okay. Yeah. And high school days. If I need to reach out to somebody, I've got a repository where I can find them. What about that girl that you ran by in the cul-de-sac? I told you, I don't remember who she was. Oh, man. Don't remember her name at all? No. Eileen Wuornos. She went off to, she killed truck drivers after that event.

I don't even remember the girl who used to write my term papers. You don't know her name? No. You got to be able to look her up, though. She was a senior and I was a junior and I don't remember. Give him that first handy. Really? Google that. Was she doing it while you drove past that other girl? Well, she had to write my term paper with the other hand. Come on. This penmanship is horrible.

There's a guy, an attorney somewhere, and his name is Preston L. Handy. There is! Preston L. Handy. I just Googled Preston's first handy, and this is one of the first things that came up. What do L stand for? Larry. Lube. I'm so glad I've changed. You know? You can't wear the same stuff. No, I'm not talking about clothes. I was a moron. You were a kid.

What's that? You were a kid. I know, but there were better kids than me. There were worse, definitely. That's for sure. Here's a hypothetical. How well would you have gotten along with your teenage self, your current self and your teenage self? Would there have been enough to make you a viable friend for your current? Okay. I like me pretty good. Okay. Yeah, so I think I would have been all right. Was that just a movie that came out with Aubrey?

Aubrey Plaza. My ass. Something about my ass. My old ass. She becomes friends with a different... Yeah, my old ass. Yeah, so the older her goes back and gives wisdom to teenager. I haven't seen it yet. Did you watch it, Steve? No, but I hear it's really good. Yeah, me too. I want to check it out. Yeah, that's an interesting concept. If you went back...

I'd hate myself. To give the advice to your younger self. You would hate yourself? I'm from the future. Yeah. Here's my advice. Get more handies. Now, Casey, if I went back as my current self, yeah, I probably wouldn't like me. That was my question. I thought you meant if I was a teenager...

And I met somebody else who was identical to me when I liked him. If you right now went back to yourself as a teenager, what would you feel about yourself? I'd be like when old Biff goes back to see young Biff and tell him what an idiot he is. It's make like a tree and leave, you idiot.

So, all right. But anyway, a couple of other websites we do have to wrap up. Amazon was 13th on the list overall. Really? And TikTok was 14th. That's interesting. These are how long your visits last is part of that. So I guess TikTok has a shorter amount of time that you spend on that. And think of YouTube. The videos are going to be longer form.

Hi, I'm Steven Singer. 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.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thanks, Kat. Let's do this B-File thing another time. Bizarre. WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. Bizarre.

All right, we will start with this story. Mildred Simonariluto has been living the past year in anguish, fretting over a lost Pennsylvania Cash 5 lottery ticket with winning numbers to a $2.5 million jackpot. She bought the ticket last May at the Shop and Save in Murrysville, but after she realized she possessed the winning ticket two weeks later, she couldn't find it.

because she had donated the jacket where she had placed it with other clothing. She said, I was stupefied. There are no words for it. There's no expression. How can I get it back? So she said that she donated the jacket and other clothing to Vietnam Veterans of America, which dispenses donations across the country and even outside of the U.S.,

Authorities with the Pennsylvania Lottery told her that she must possess the lottery ticket to claim the jackpot. But that ticket could be anywhere in the world. I assume they would have cleaned out the pockets if they were going to donate it, right? If she was donating... I mean, oh my God. You think so? Maybe she just missed it. I don't know. But I mean...

How badly would this torture you knowing that it's out there? The one that blows my mind is the hard drive with the crypto. Remember that story? With hundreds of millions of dollars or whatever. Yep. So she said, what else can I do? I cry out loud and hope that something will happen positive on my end. Not going to happen. Unfortunately, probably not.

Arizona police officers recently located a stolen dog by using license plate recognition technology. Dog had a car? Nope. The little French bulldog named Kimber jumped out of her owner's truck on March 18th. Kimber's owner, Austin Evanson, left her truck running as she ran inside the store to grab something to drink. Well, Evanson returned to her car and find a rolled down window with Kimber nowhere to be seen. Now, you think somebody opened

Opened the door, rolled down the window, whatever got in there. She left the window. No, video footage from outside the store showed police that Kimber accidentally rolled the car window down. Of course. And then leapt out of the truck. Yeah, yeah. Kimber was seen walking around the area of the store. I don't know where the hell I am. Before a white Lexus SUV pulled up to park next to Evanson's car, the driver of the Lexus was seen picking Kimber up without attempting to locate her owner before then driving off. By the way, you have to tell me if you're a cop.

Investigators then entered the plate number of the Lexus into the Flock Safety License Plate Reader. Flock Safety Technology uses license plate recognition cameras that can be placed anywhere to find detailed information on license plates and vehicles. Yeah!

So this could help you find a flock of dogs? Yes, possibly. Police found and arrested the suspect within a few hours of Kimber being taken. But arrested, though? I mean, they didn't steal the dog. The dog escaped. They picked it up and took it. Like, I don't know what you...

are obligated to do in order to not get arrested. Yeah, I think that they took a look at the footage and, you know, if you did find a dog, would you not maybe walk around to a few different people and go, hey, where was it at? Was it a convenience store, did it say? It was some shopping place.

Yeah, so I would think that you would walk around and go, hey, I got a missing dog here, or go into a store and say something. So they're calling it theft. I don't know. It's a great area. Yeah, in case I kind of thought the same thing, too. I'm not sure. They saved the dog's life, potentially. The California woman with the world's longest tongue, which is 3.8 inches from outside of the mouth, showed off some of the tricks that she can perform with her massive mouth muscle, including removing Jenga blocks.

Dude, and the picture of her tongue, it's a formidable tongue. To me, it seems much longer than 3.8 inches. Yeah, it looks that way, but it's the longest tongue in the world. So, Chanel Tapper, for female, who has held the Guinness World Record for longest tongue female since 2010, said that her tongue, which measures 3.8 inches from the tip to her lips, gets her an array of reactions. She said, honestly, the best reaction I could ever get...

When someone sees my tongue is screaming. And I actually do like when people yell or scream in shock or horror sometimes. Wow. That is terrifying.

I think the fact that at the end of it, it's not as rounded. It actually comes down to sort of a serpentine, demonic sort of devil tongue. Yep. She said, that's probably my favorite one because it's funny to me. It's a dramatic response. So she showed off some of the tricks that she's learned to perform with her tongue, including removing Jenga blocks, flipping plastic cups and holding a spoon. She said, I like little fun, silly things like that. And that's what makes my tongue the most fun when I can do things that are outside of the box for them.

She said that being a Guinness World Record holder has provided her with some unexpected opportunities, including appearing in an advertising campaign for the Italian fashion brand Diesel. Now that was a rim jump. Oh my God. In Florida, the state's attorney's office has filed charges against a former elementary school principal and a former teacher in connection with an underage house party in Cocoa Beach.

I think this is a follow-up. I didn't go back to see if this is exactly the same one or not. But Elizabeth Hill brought again a former principal of Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School is facing a charge of child neglect, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of holding an open house party. Carly Anderson, a former third grade teacher of the same elementary school, is facing one count of disorderly conduct and one count of disorderly intoxication.

So they're trying those sick cases separately. Hillbronigan can face up to five years in prison, five years of probation, $5,000 fine for neglect, and Anderson can face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine for each of the disorderly conduct and intoxication charges. So

Between 100 and 200 kids... Come on, man. ...reportedly attended this booze-filled house party at Hill Brodigan's home. The white lie party was advertised on Snapchat, drawing kids from multiple schools, though the exact schools and ages were not specified. Students said these parties occurred at least once or twice a month.

I forget, were they charging for attendance? I don't know about that. It's unclear if police were called to previous parties, but police alleged that there was underage drinking, marijuana use fights, and at least one kid with a gun at the party. You're the best principal ever. A boy was found vomiting and shaking in the yard while a student female was charged with DUI. Yeah, and so they were doing that a couple times a month. A couple times a month? It's got to be expensive. That's great. Well, yes, and...

Stupid. Stupid. But expensive. All right. And that is what I have in the bizarre file for you. All right. We're going to do, can I do this? Yes. Okay. I have another $50 gift card from our friends at Red Robin. Whoa. So all you need to do is text the word red to 610-660-9333.

Blake Lively getting dragged online for being a hypocrite after revealing she improvised grabbing Henry Golding's crotch while filming a scene in the movie A Simple Favor.

Sam is handling all of this stuff himself, which is a bit of a handful. He's telling me to hang on a second. Should I go ahead and do music news? Wait, wait, wait. Are we ready to go? He said do music news. Okay, nice. Here we go. All right, here we go. Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, that's the winning music. Now, Preston and Steve's Music View on 93.3 WMMR. Yeah! Yeah!

I will start with this. Shannon Larkin and Tony Rombola, longtime drummer and guitarist of Godsmack, respectively have departed the band. Larkin explained that after extensive discussions with bandmates Sully Erna and Robbie Merrill, they mutually agreed to part ways due to Larkin and Rombola's desire to retire from touring. He emphasized that the decision was friendly and based on personal choices.

noting their combined decades of touring experience. Larkin said that he's grateful for the fans and sent well wishes for the band's future. Touring can weigh on you. Some people have had enough. Here's another story of people that are leaving. Bad Wolves have announced the departure of guitarist Doc Coyle and bassist Kyle Conkill.

Kyle Conkiel? Conk-Conk. Conk-Conk. That's what they call him in the band. Where's Conk-Conk? I was hoping you were going to do that. Conk-Conk. So Dan Coyle and bassist Kyle Conkiel. Conk-Conk. Coyle, who had been with the band for nearly...

have been with the band for nearly nine years expressed that the decision was amicable but came about because he's creatively burned out. He mentioned how proud he is of the band's achievements and support from fans. Conkill also shared his decision to step down after eight years. Conk, conk. So I think he just said

Signing a desire to... Who is this person? My cousin, Nell. Pursue new creative endeavors. He emphasized how important it is to... Give her some peanut butter. She'll go away. To give... Wait. It is to him to give his full commitment...

to any project felt that he could no longer do so with Bad Wolves. Replacing them are returning guitarist Chris Kane and bassist Kevin Creekman. Who are they replacing? They're replacing Kyle Conkel. That's an in the game, man. What was that first one? That's Spicoli. That's an in the game, man.

Oh, that's the name they gave me. I couldn't understand. What's your problem? All right. Replacing them. Like I said, a returning Chris Kane and Kevin Creekman and Kane have previously been a part of the band till his departure on April of 2022. Should I jump in now? No. No. All right. I'll finish music news and then we will get our winner. Right now. Concom. Concom, everyone.

Patti Smith performed at a rally in New York City this week hoping to prevent a downtown park from being turned into housing. The city previously announced plans to turn the space into an urban oasis, though they've received pushback from celebs ranging from Smith to Robert De Niro. At the rally on Tuesday, Smith performed Peaceable Kingdom. The artist had previously pushed back against the development of plans earlier this year, writing a letter to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. And then

And then one last thing, Roger Daltrey is certainly feeling the march of time and it won't stop him from taking the stage though. During a charity concert on Thursday, last Thursday in London's Royal Everett Hall, he shared a surprising health update. He said the joys of getting old mean you go deaf. He's 81 by the way. 81, he looks pretty frigging good. And he told the audience, I also now have the joy of going blind. He said fortunately I still have my voice. But he added, if I lose that, then I'll have a full Tommy. That's

It's true. Afterwards, Pete Townsend launched into their next song on the show, and it was raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. But later on in the set, Townsend, who is 79, revealed that he's recovering from a knee replacement. Yeah, and he's adapted the song now. It's Behind Glaucoma Eyes. He said, four and a half weeks ago, I had my left knee replaced.

The injury came from dancing. Oh, my God. He said, maybe I should auction off the old ones. What kind of loser injures themselves while dancing? Yeah, come on. It was a Madonna song, but Townsend said he's doing fine. He has a little cart, a little scooter that allows him to transport bagels and such. Yeah, that's good. By the way, he was talking about the song, this is Roger Daltzer, Won't Get Fooled Again.

He says that he is not going to do the scream anymore because he said it's brutal on the vocal cords.

He said, I'm not going to do the scream. I'm going to get the effing audience to do it. He said, I've done that scream for 55 years and I've had enough of it. I don't even want to try it now. He said, they can do the scream and I'll do everything else. I'm more into singing these days. At the age of 80, I think I deserve to be, he said. Let's replace it with a recording of We Guess What I Get to Do. All right.

We can now try to get the answer to today's lesson question. Let's go, first of all, and welcome Will, who is joining us via Zoom. Yo, Will, how you doing, buddy? What's up, guys? Hey, all right. So we're doing great, Will. We need an answer to this. In order to help get some sleep before bed, Eric Andre does a ton of what? Every last bit of black tar heroin. That is correct. Yeah!

Nice job, Will. Hang on, buddy. We got you. You're going to go to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Franklin Institute. We'll give you four tickets. You can see 20 stunning full-body plastinets and over 150 real specimens. You can explore the wonders of the human body like never before. Body Worlds at the Franklin Institute.
