You're listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR with Preston Elliott. You will listen to every damn word I have to say! And Steve Morrison. Words are like bullets. Plus. Casey Boy. Lay off me, I'm starving! Kathy Romano. I'm going to destroy everything!

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

And running another show to get to today. Another day for you, friend. It is a Thursday. We welcome you. And we're going to share the weather information. It's just kind of blah. It's going to be cloudy. Fifty three degrees are high today. Rain tomorrow. High 48. Saturday sucks to showers and high 45. Now.

We turned the corner a little bit. Sunday, it's mostly cloudy, but 61 degrees. I'm sorry, Sunday is that way. And then Monday, 71 degrees and partly cloudy. So this is some decent stuff on the way. It's just a crappy weekend that we're going to deal with. And now, Preston and Steve's News Updates.

with Kathy Romano. Today is Thursday. It's April 10th. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, SEPTA is planning to cut service and increase fares due to a multi-million dollar budget deficit. The transit agency is planning a news conference for this morning to outline its proposed plan. Regional rail, subway, and bus services would all be impacted. Late last year, Governor Josh Shapiro diverted more than $150 million in federal highway funding to provide a one-time injection of cash into SEPTA to help void, uh,

to help avoid near-term cutbacks and fare increases for the current fiscal year which ends on june 30th without the fund that funding septa says it would have had to move forward with cuts and large fare increases this past january with the deadline quickly approaching septa will announce its plan to save money sources say this includes a 20 cut in services in august such as eliminating 50 bus lines and five regional rail lines this is this is a big deal

Sources also say all rail lines will stop at 9 p.m., not be extended for events, and 63 stations will close along with paratransit. In September, fares could increase 21.5 percent. Shapiro says he's committed to helping SEPTA but says that the Senate needs to act. SEPTA says it is committed to working with Governor Shapiro and state lawmakers to secure new funding.

A teenager landed in the hospital with popcorn lung after vaping in secret for three years. And her mom is sharing that it took a deadly diagnosis for her to stop. 17-year-old Breanne Cullen began vaping when she was 14, picking up the habit to handle the anxiety of returning to school following the COVID-19 lockdown, according to her mother, Christine Martin. I remember we were just talking about this a couple of days ago and, um,

Apparently, in case you mentioned that, vaping is back on the uptick. It is. Dramatically. Did it go away?

I don't think it ever went away. I don't know. Yeah. People aren't smoking cigarettes as much. But, you know, vaping is just easy and accessible. What's crazy is like I don't see people buying vapes all the time, you know, very much. But I see people vaping all the time. I do. Yeah. You can do it in secret. I'm telling you, listen, I've been struggling with this myself. I am. Was it Sunday, Monday? I'm four days off of vaping.

I just felt like absolute trash all the time. All the time while vaping? Just because of it. And it was so easy. When I smoke cigarettes...

I didn't smoke when I, you know, I wasn't the type of person who rolled out of bed and smoked a cigarette first thing in the morning. But like, I could do that with a vape. Yeah. And you would do it with a vape? And yeah. Yeah. And well, I mean, I didn't sleep with it next to me, but, uh, but I, you know, I would often, you know, uh, just kind of tug on it. Like first thing in the morning, you know, the first second I could go there because it's there and it doesn't taste bad and it doesn't smell bad. And like all the things that cigarettes are, uh,

Vape is as well, but also it's not... It's much more exciting. I've been blown away recently by how many people I've seen vaping. Right now, I'm struggling with that oral fixation. I'm not in the freaking clear. I'm on tobacco. I got my dip there or whatever.

You know, any young people right now, just don't do it. Don't do it. Don't get started. Yeah, because it's so hard. Kathy, he's talking to you. He said young people. I know. Casey, thank you for the advice. No, I'm glad I'm able to talk about this now and be real about it. But like...

It just sucks. Like, I was just an absolute, like, slave to it. But you're right, Steve. I mean, I see the vapes all the time. All the time. I mean, occasionally I'll see somebody smoking a cigarette, but not nearly, you know, what it used to be and what we would normally see. Right. People outside for a smoke break, they all have vapes now. But I remember there's the talk of the pop.

Popcorn lung was the first thing that kind of I thought diminished it. Well, and it didn't go away, right? So in January, the Nevada teen was at a cheerleading practice when she unexpectedly called home. She kept saying, I can't breathe, her mother said. Her mother rushed her to the hospital and the diagnosis was bleak. Cullen had bronchiolitis obliterans. As the American Lung Association explains, it's a rare chronic disease known as popcorn lung because it was first discovered in microwave popcorn plant workers who developed it from breathing in an artificial flavoring.

Wow. But popcorn lung can also be caused by a chemical that's found in the vape smoke. What's the name of the condition again? Oh, bronchiolitis obliterans. Don't you yell that during Quidditch? Yes. Yeah, you do.

Popcorn lung. The progressive disease causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and fatigue. Martin says, I didn't expect the news she gave me that it was popcorn lungs that's permanent and children are dying from it. While Cullen's prognosis is good because they caught it so early, her mother points out that it can also cause problems in the future like cancer. Popcorn lung is irreversible. And also, you're supposed to be 21 to buy this stuff. The places that I would get my vapes from, these are like gas stations, these vape shops. They're not

freaking... Not carding? They're not carding anybody. In fact, the one vape shop I went to, the guy's like, hey, you want some flour? I was like, this is an ascension marijuana dispensary and you're actually... I'm like, you don't know me from Adam. By the way, I still see plenty of people smoking cigarettes. I know. They're so cool. No. No. I see them throwing the cigarette butts out the window all the time. That's where I see that. I have to hate that. It drives me insane. I have to hate that because I have it. I know it's not going to happen. The image of the...

lit cigarette bouncing under my car. I didn't know there was a leak in my gas tank. Boom! This absurd thing, of course. But it just drives me crazy. It's just littering. It's littering, yes. But I actually recently just was talking about this that I don't see smokers as often anymore. Good Italy. They're everywhere. But I don't know that it's any better because...

They just have the vapes now, you know. I think what Casey said, it's more acceptable. I mean, it's a pleasant smell a lot of times. Oh, I smell. Well, yeah, the vapor dissipates much quicker than smoke does. It's vapor. It's not smoke. You know, it reacts differently in the atmosphere and it's very easy to do it discreetly, you know.

Cullen now relies on an inhaler to help her breathe. As Martin told the outlet, we don't know the status of her lungs now. We still don't know if there will be long-term effects. As she shared, she had no idea that her daughter was vaping. I would walk into her room all of the time and I never saw her vaping. The mother says that I would urge parents to spread awareness. This means to be a cautionary tale to not let your kids vape no matter what.

Philadelphia streets have seen some wild moments, but rarely do they see wildlife, at least not like this. A tourist video of a python on the Ben Franklin Parkway is making the rounds on social media. The tourist recorded the video in late March while they kept a distance. A wedding party posed for photos about 10 feet from the snake as well. The tourist later posted on TikTok that Philly is not for beginners, calling Philadelphia the wildest city ever. The owner of the snake was apparently there and kept an eye on the snake while the tourist was filming.

In the video, you see the yellow snake slither slowly on the sidewalk and at one point climbs up near an electrical box. Apparently, Kathy, because they're so slow, it actually was making its way towards the Eagles Parade and finally got into position. There was like somebody who, you know, from like a reptile center that commented on it and said that the snake looked, you know, relaxed like the...

Chill? Yeah, that his mannerisms were, you know, not that he was in any defense mode or anything like that. He was vaping. But I mean, I don't know. And the guy was there, the owner. So he just, him and his cousin apparently brought two snakes out on the street. Like, I guess, I don't know. Do you take your snakes for a walk? Actually, some people do, believe it or not. They get them outside. But those, they're cold-blooded, right? I mean, so they're going to be a little lethargic if it's cooler out. So I'm sure he was just chilling quite a bit. Yeah, I guess so. All right, in sports this morning...

Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy! The f*ck is that?

All right, so get this. The Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers all won last night. Wait, why did the Sixers win? What are they doing? Don't win! The Phillies beat the Braves 4-3 last night in Atlanta. Bryce Harper hit a two-run homer in the seventh. Trey Turner hit a tie-breaking home run in the ninth. And Jose Alvarado got the final four outs for the victory. They did!

You cannot be a jackass. The series wraps up tonight, and Jose Lizardo, Jesus Lizardo, will get the start. The first pitch is set for 7-15. The Sixers beat the Wizards 122-103 last night in Washington. Jeff Doughton Jr. scored a career-high 30 points, and the Sixers ended a 12-game losing streak with the win. Doughton, who grew up in Washington, D.C., played for the Sixers for the first time this month. He went 11-4.

of 15 from the field and made four three-pointers, surpassing his previous career high of 24 points. The Sixers have only two games left in their season and will be back home tomorrow night to host the Atlanta Hawks. Tip-off is at 7 o'clock. And the Flyers beat the Rangers 8-5 last night at Madison. They did it!

Tyson Forrester had his first career hat trick. And Alexey Kalasov made 24 saves as the Flyers put the Rangers on the brink of elimination from the playoffs. The Flyers are back home on Saturday afternoon. We'll host the New York Islanders. The puck will drop at 1230. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

And that's what I have for you this morning. Thank you, Kat. So majority of the week, here we are Thursday morning and we got stuff. We got money. We got guests. We got all kinds of things taking place. So your chance to win $1,000 with the 20 money keyword, your first shot at 8 o'clock this morning. Then we'll do it at 10, noon, 3 and 5. So listen closely and we'll tell you how to do it. If you haven't done it yet, we'll get you on board. So

Hang in there, friend. We also have joining us via Zoom this morning, Brittany Brave is going to be at Punchline tonight. So we will check in with Brittany in the 9 o'clock hour. And yeah, we got some other things to get to as well. We'll have a stupid question, the entertainment report on the way. And a contest we want to try out.

tomorrow morning. I'll mention it now, and then I'll reiterate the info a little bit later because we're going to probably do it in the 7 o'clock hour tomorrow morning. But when we've done some Zoom calls, occasionally somebody will be on and they'll say, hey, who's in the back seat? And they'll have their kid back there taking them to school. And so we are going to look for the most talented kid in the car.

Tomorrow morning. We're going to try this out just for the hell of it. It might work. It might not work. I have no idea. But we're going to look for essentially grade school age kids. We're going to cut it off at fifth grade. And to just entertain us. Just do something. Some form of talent. And it could be anything. It could be an impression. It could be singing a song or reciting something or doing movie lines or whatever it may be. Magic trick. Yeah, magic trick. Whatever. Any kind of talent.

And we have some Arnold's gift cards that we're going to give away. Which is very cool. So we'll just randomly get some people lined up that have kids, taking them on the way to school tomorrow between like 7.15 and 7.45 a.m. So if you qualify for that, talk to your kid and get them ready. And maybe we'll get them on tomorrow. If we're smart, we should adopt the Simon Cowell.

and then represent the talented kids in hopes that they become superstars. Yes. And then we make the money. The what method? Simon Cowell. Oh, the Simon Cowell. I thought you said the Silent Cowell. That's what I heard. Okay. Thank you. Silent Cowell. I'll say this. I'm open to it. Steve, we have to try. Steve, I honestly thought it was some entertainment term I didn't know about yet. Listen, I would pull Silent Cowell. I was like, Steve knows this cool thing. I'm like...

He knows the silent cow. It's a Tai Chi move. Totally, yes. I am doing the silent cow technique. We're going silent cow on him. Well, with all of that, clearly a victim of the silent cow. We'll try to get this underway tomorrow morning. Let's take a quick break. Come back in a second. Stupid question and the entertainment report, of course, are on the way. Silent cow. We'll be right back.

So, stupid question time. We are going to give away four pack of tickets to Driven to Serve Muscle Car Jeep and Truck Show at Maple Grove Raceway. That's coming up on Saturday, April 26th. So, the question that I'm going to pose to you is...

Who invented the first electric tattoo machine? I guess you would call that like the gun is what people call it. Yeah, that's interesting. So who invented the first electric tattoo machine? And if you know the answer to that, you need to text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333 or call our special phone. Yeah. The special phone that we have here. Uh-huh.

I just love this little prop. It's not too far from the truth. It's only for our YouTube audience. But if you know the number to this, call this, okay? It's a candlestick phone. I'll leave it right there in case a call comes through. But text the word ZOOM to 610660. But the thing is, there's truth in comedy. So there's truth in this. Yes, absolutely. All right. And we'll mention the birthdays when we kill some time to wait for you.

Or call this magic call that comes through on this. Today is the 10th day of April. It's David Harbour's birthday today.

I'm going to say he's our good buddy. He was so great here. Man, what a fun conversation with him. I would love to have another in-studio with him. We really clicked. The guy's unbelievable. Again, I was watching Black Mass. You know, he's just fantastic in that. Just saying. Yeah, exactly. And Marvel. Yeah, and he's, what's the character's name? Red. What's his face? I can't remember. Red Buttons, I think.

Red Guardian. He's going to be in Thunderbolts and that looks really good. It's like three weeks away that comes out. By the way, it's a big birthday for him. I don't mean this as an insult, but he's 50 years old. He seems more mature than 50 years old. He sure does. He's brilliant. I love this guy. Stranger Things, the character Hopper,

Wow. I just love him on that show. I remember, here's a spoiler alert if you're not following the series. At one point, we thought he was off the series and that his time had come to an end. Right. And I'm like, oh, no. I know. You can't lose him. He's 50 years old today. Happy birthday, David Harbour. Charlie Hunnam.

Everything from Sons of Anarchy to Pacific Rim. Women dig that dude, man. He's a good looking guy. I kind of dig him. He's 45 today. Peter McNichol, who we saw on Grey's Anatomy and Ally McBeal. And remember in Ghostbusters 2, he was kind of the bad guy in that. He played Viggo? No.

He's like Vigo's assistant. Vigo's assistant. Vigo kind of, he doesn't possess him, but he manipulates him big time. Enough about Vigo. So he turns 71 today. It's Mandy Moore's birthday today as well.

This is from Tangled. Yeah. I shave to this every morning. You shave to this every morning? You should. This is a really up and get you going song. Hey, they canceled the, or they at least put on hold the live version of Tangled. I'm fine with that. This is fine. You know, this is the...

Perfect animated movie. They are remaking however movie she was in, which is The Long Walk. That's right. Which is a, oh my God. It rips your heart out, that movie. Did you guys watch This Is Us? I did not. It was good. And I really liked the way they ended it. I watched all of the seasons and she was so good in it.

Go ahead. I'm sorry. If you want to see her in like sort of a 40s Betty Page, not full Betty Page, but that sort of look of the movie Midway. She is the wife of one of the pilots. She is 41 years old today. Haley Joel Osment turns 37 years old and, of course, got his start right here in Philadelphia in the sixth sense. In fact, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. And he was probably what?

I don't know, 9, 10 years old or something like that? It was here, though, he got some bad news, Preston. Walker told me I had AIDS. That was when he got the bad news. That's him, yes. And he made a great appearance in the show The Boys. He's terrific, he's terrific. He's actually all over the place now. He's being used quite a lot. So he turns 37 years old today. Daisy Ridley. Daisy Ridley.

Yes, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and the like. She turns 30 years old today. Her character was Rey. Yeah. Liked her in those movies. So happy 33rd birthday to Daisy Ridley. Steven Seagal. There we go. Turns a year older. What an actor. What an actor.

Yeah, he's 73 and he lives in Russia, right? He and Pootie Poots are big pals. I'll say this. I would love to see a movie or at least a documentary about his life because there's so much that's untrue that he claims is true. But the dude does have, he did work as a high-priced

He is an Aikido master. Not anymore. If you want. Yeah, I know. He's like 500 pounds. The funniest thing, though, is to see there's an interview with Chuck Norris talking about Steven Seagal. And it is so funny with what he's not saying, Preston. And Chuck Norris is just like smiling, going...

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think Beck, in his day, he was the real deal. But I think now, like when he spars, it's kind of like when Elvis sparred Steve. That's right, man. I just flipped that guy with my pinky. So Steven Seagal is 73 years old today. I did like his first few movies. Above the Law, I thought was a great movie. I mean, not great movie. It had great action. Yeah. So he's 73 today. And then Kenneth Babyface and...

Edmonds, turned 66-year-old. Is that face-to-looking babyish or not? R&B singer. For the most part. There was an interesting thing at the Grammys, though. I think it was at the Grammys, where they're, this television crew, I don't know who they are, but they're interviewing babyish. Right, right, yeah. And he's giving an answer to something, and the person who is interviewing sees Chapel Roan behind him, and like,

cuts him off and is like, oh, oh, Chappell, Chappell. He's in the middle of answering this question and they bring her over and he's just like, okay, never mind. And he just hands the microphone over. No kidding. It's so insanely disrespectful and embarrassing for these people. But literally, we're looking at the video footage of it right now. And they're from the AP? Oh, they're from Associated Press. So she just hands them... Whoa, whoa, shut up. Chappell Rowan. Yeah, exactly. Honestly, like...

they should lose their job right then and there. Like, I'm sorry. You just lose all credibility as an AP reporter. Yep. You're doing stuff like that. They probably got a bonus for getting her. So she is... He is 66 today. And then one last birthday. My big brother, Foz. Happy birthday. That's it. I just play this because...

He introduced me to this song at Eric Johnson. He had a really awesome mixtape. I wish I still had it. No kidding. And this was on it. Happy birthday, brother. All right, let's see if we can get an answer to the question. Who invented the first electric tattoo machine? Via Zoom, we are going to say hi to Tom. Hey, Tom, good morning, man.

Good morning, jabronis. Nice. Cool word, by the way. It looks like we're in your classroom this morning. Where do you teach? My classroom. I am actually in Kathy's old stomping ground. I thought so. Pensbury. Oh, Charles Beam. Yes. I didn't go to Charles Beam, but yes, that is the district I went to. Yes. Nice. Great district. All right, buddy. Do me a favor. Lay it on us. Who invented the first electric tattoo machine?

Sam O'Reilly. That is correct. Yay! Sam O'Reilly. Hold on just a moment. Tom, we are going to give you a four-pack of tickets to Driven to Serve. Muscle car, Jeep, drop show. It's at Maple Grove Raceway Saturday, the 26th of April. And over 1,000 modded vehicles, jet cars, monster truck car crush.

track racing raffles and more and it's all for a great cause benefiting the travis manion foundation tickets start at just 10 bucks and you can learn more at driven to serve show.com so thank you tom hang on bub we'll get your information by the way sam o'reilly after watching a demonstration of thomas edison's autographic printing pen was inspired to develop an electric tattoo machine in 1891 i haven't

And that's when it happened. Yes, he had that idea. And then it was much easier to tattoo people after that. My dearest wife, my invention did not work as I hoped today and a young man lost his arm. But I'm sure if I keep at it, I can be tattooing people in no time. At first, those things were like steam powered. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

really, really powerful. All right, I do have some stories to share. This is a weird one, and I've decided to pull it out of music news and put it in here because it was very strange. So a woman named Jillian Schreiner...

who's the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Schreiner, was actually shot by police and subsequently charged with attempted murder following an incident in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. This is an insane story. Yeah, on Tuesday, officers were actually searching for suspects involved in a nearby hit-and-run. And they encountered this woman, Jillian. She had nothing to do with this hit-and-run. It took place elsewhere, and the guy that was part of the hit-and-run was running around this neighborhood.

And they found her outside of her home, allegedly armed with a handgun. And despite repeated commands to drop the weapon, she reportedly pointed it at officers, prompting them to open fire and strike her in the shoulder. She retreated into the residence, but later emerged with the family's babysitter and surrendered.

She was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and booked for attempted murder. I got to believe that charge will probably change. But authorities confirmed that she was not connected to that initial hit-and-run incident. Very weird. Okay, was she under the influence of anything? They haven't said as of yet. So maybe, I don't know. I don't know why she had a gun. I don't know if she...

Because police were patrolling the area looking for this guy. I don't know if she got confused by that and thought maybe there was somebody dangerous in the neighborhood. But if you would see police, you'd think you would drop your weapon right away. Yeah, you're holding a gun. They don't know. Yeah, I have no idea. You might get shot. Yep, and that's what happened. So I'm sure there'll be a follow-up even maybe later today, but definitely by tomorrow of what's going on. Very strange. All right, so actor Matt Bomer, may remember him from Magic Mike, discussed his early career struggles here.

sharing how his personal narrative was often taken over by others.

He recalled that outlets talked, he said, quote, about my personal life before I had ever had a chance to even do it myself. He came out as gay publicly in 2012, but by then, rumors about his sexuality had already circulated, and he believes that it may have cost him the role of Superman in The Man of Steel. Reflecting on getting outed at that time, he said, it felt kind of unfair to me that that was stolen by people who did have a microphone at the time.

And he has had a successful career over the years of roles in hits like White Collar, Magic Mike, and he recently starred in Fellow Travelers, a series that delves into the psychological toll of living closeted, where he found playing a character in that situation to be refreshing and authentic. So the first time I saw him was on the series Chuck. Ah.

And at that time, I knew he was gay. I literally just found out right now that he was gay. And he's on the series, the Hulu series with Nathan Lane right now, which is actually pretty funny. It's called Mid-Century Modern. And he and Nathan Lane and Nathan Lee Grammer. But yeah, he came out in 2012. The guy on that show is kind of a scene stealer. He's the guy who is getting the lattes.

in Zoolander for Will Ferrell's designer. That guy is great. But Matt Bomer, that dude is super good looking dude. Super good looking. Yeah, yeah. All right, so Rosie O'Donnell's troubled daughter, Chelsea O'Donnell, who has been in trouble multiple times with the law, wants to drop the O'Donnell part of her name. The 27-year-old filed for paperwork in January and stated that she wished to go by her birth mother, Deanna McCauley's maiden name, which is Newen's.

The move is reportedly retaliation for Rosie, frustrated with Chelsea's multiple drug charges, dropping Chelsea from her will. In addition to her mother's estimated $80 million estate, Chelsea reportedly was also taken out of Rosie's life insurance policy, which would have resulted in a hefty $5.4 million payout per child. She has five kids, by the way. She had actually briefly considered adopting the name of the semen donor, Harvey Weinstein, and realized that might have been bad. True to God.

But listen, this, you know, this... Terrible. She's been, she's had multiple problems and needs help and, you know... Rose is cutting her out of the will for her own protection. Exactly. You know, and like, there's...

branch of the family where this has happened and it's sad and you feel bad for the person who's getting cut out of the will but you also have to recognize that the parents are probably doing that for very good reasons. To hand over millions and millions of dollars to someone who is an addict to use that to you know

Essentially died, probably from an overdose. That's why she left... That's why Rosie O'Donnell said, and I kind of agree with it, she left her in jail as a warning. It's tough, man. But these master manipulators will turn and try. Make Rosie out to be the bad guy. Exactly. One more down story, and then I'll move on to something else. Teddy Mellencamp. I've talked about her before from Real Housewives. Her battle with brain cancer has reached a place...

where hard conversations are being had. And on this week's podcast that she's on, she revealed that her dad, John Mellencamp, reached out to her for the tough decision of where she wants to be buried. Oh, my God. She said, I just want to make sure... I just want to make sure that you're going to be in our group...

family mausoleum, he had told her. And she replied that she has kids and didn't know where they would go in the mausoleum, to which her father explained, well, there's going to be the top five and then we're going to have little areas around it and then that's where everyone's going to get buried. And she said,

He goes, you're doing your will right now, so you may as well put that in there. And she eventually agreed. Such plans may have to wait, though. I mean, she finished her final radiation treatment this week, so hopefully those plans will be on hold. But sometimes you have to...

You got to make these preparations. You've been cremated? Me? Yeah. Yeah, I have as well. And my wife and I have picked out the cooler where we'll be stored. Oh, okay. That's nice. Kathy, what are we doing again? We're going out to sea. That's right. Oh, burial at sea. But it was the body, right? Yeah. Oh, you want to be full body buried at sea? That's what we had mentioned. I was like, wait, I'm going to rethink everything because I don't know if I want to be cremated. Right.

Right. Yeah. Remember there was a story where a fishing boat caught a body. Yes. And in their nets, they found out that it was a legal burial at sea. And I think that's what I want. Like I want somebody to find me. To find your body? Oh my God. What if you don't look good? Who was she? The mystery woman. Yeah. Remember, because like at the funeral, I want people like...

falling down on the ground, like hanging off of the casket. And then I want them to find my body at sea like 20 years later. I was talking to that listener from the Virgin Islands and I brought this up on the air, but like in the Virgin Islands, there's not a lot of land for cemeteries. So it's a pretty common thing and very legal. And so, yeah, I'm going to the Caribbean. Drop me off. I'm good. I want to see your body 20 years at sea. This is

Kathy Romano. Then there'll be like an investigation like who was she? God, she looks horrible. Nick, they also bury themselves in their own yards in the Caribbean a lot. How can you bury yourself? Well, you don't. But your family or somebody probably knows you or maybe a business or whatever. What are you doing out there? I'm dying. You could give me a hand. Yeah, here's a shovel. Yeah,

You got to start digging, like, way early. Right. Yeah. Yeah, because your strength runs right out of you eventually. Dude, don't you go silent cow on me. All right. So Academy Award winning actress Angelica Huston revealed in an interview with People Magazine that she just waged a six-year battle with cancer, but she's come out on top now. The screen legend as...

kept her health scare quiet up to this point, but now says that she's reached the four-year mark of being cancer-free. Which is a milestone. I had no idea this was going on. Listen, you own your disease. It's your right to do... You want to let people know? You let people know. You handle it all. That's one of the things. That's your body, your business, your cancer. It's a lot of times people say, why didn't you let me know? Well, the

You decide. You're in the driver's seat. Yeah. No, totally. The people have their reasons. That's it. Whatever it is. Houston is coming out now about her health journey because she said there's a lot to be said for talking about it and getting it out there and celebrating the fact that one has come through. All right. On to the White Lotus for a moment.

It may have wrapped season three, but the drama is still flowing off screen this time. Fans started buzzing when co-stars Walton Goggins and Amy Lou Wood, who played lovers Rick and Chelsea, suddenly unfollowed each other on Instagram. What in the mother hell? Some netizens theorize that Goggins may have even blocked Wood since her old comments vanished from his post, while his are still visible on hers. And adding fuel to the fire, both actors shared sentimental posts about their characters in

without tagging each other Goggins wrote thank you Amy Liu for being my partner partner a journey I will never forget uh well Wood shared a pic captioned the perfect storm and this follows also the series creator Mike White and the series composer apparently had some kind of a yeah so that seems as well yeah so are you suggesting that there was a tempestuous throuple

Oh, I don't know about that. But... No, I don't think so. Could you suggest that? You know what? I'm now suggesting that. I've come around on that theory, Steve. So I am five or six episodes into this season and I am desperately trying to avoid any mention on social media anywhere of what happens because I know some stuff happens but it's really hard to avoid and I've been watching all this stuff and so I'm playing catch up. So I'm going to tell you something and this is not a spoiler alert or anything like that but Nick...

A lot happens. You will never find out everything that happens in that final episode. You just got to watch it. Just like even talking about it now, you just scroll through Instagram or look at whatever and you're like, is this a giveaway? Is that a giveaway? I just want to be surprised and enjoy it when I watch it. Yep.

I gotcha. And then, Kathy, I want to talk to you about why. By the way, does Goggins have the same makeup from Fallout as he does? No. He looks a little more natural in this series. It's funny, though, because he's on Regis Jempsons, too. So he's on two HBO shows at the same time. That dude went from... He was just basically an extra or like a character actor and then...

One right after another. He is an all-purpose actor, man. Really good. He is so solid. So, Robert Pattinson is reportedly being eyed to join Dune Messiah, the follow-up to last year's Dune Part 2. A formal offer has apparently not been made just yet, and it's not known who he would play. However... Batman! How did you get here to Arrakis? I don't want to talk about it. I like Spice 2. So...

So, sources for The Hollywood Reporter are leaning towards Pattinson playing a major villain in the next movie. He'd probably be good. The guy is a good actor. He is. He is a really good actor, and I love the Batman. I love Water for Elephants. The Lighthouse. I like him. He's also a really good singer. I'd like to see him do more. Not more, just something more.

that requires him to sing. I don't know if you guys have ever heard him sing or not. I have not. Yeah, he used to be in this band. Also, Ryan Gosling is a really, really good singer as well, and I discovered them basically at the same time, but there's just nothing out there. He did sing How Deep Is Your Love in the Batman movie. He did? He didn't.

The Dune Messiah novel picks up 12 years after the events of the first Dune book featuring Paul Atreides ruling as the emperor now. Dune Messiah is expected to hit theaters December 18th, 2026. Wow. Are they moving ahead with the follow-up movie to that, which will be Ben there doing that? It remains to be seen. We'll have to see how successful Dune Messiah is first. And then doing the right thing? Yeah, doing the right thing.

So confidence with this, as popular as the show has been thus far, HBO has announced yesterday that a season three of The Last of Us has already gotten the green light. Season two premieres this Sunday. So they feel that confident about it.

Creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin have previously said in interviews that they are envisioning up to four total seasons to tell the story that has been told over the span of two hit video games. So I'm very thrilled. Very thrilled. I just hope, and I've said this many times, I'll keep saying it.

that there's some things they leave out of the second game because I want to see certain characters stay around. I hope they modify the storyline and then I'll be happy because the second game was not very good. Steve, this is a legit question. Does it matter if it's close to the game or not? It's a video game versus... It's not like it's a book.

No, the only reason I say that is because the story... Essentially, they really were close to the game for the first season in many ways. There are many milestone moments that are shown. The whole opening is basically the video game. In fact, fastidiously so. Exactly. So...

Yeah, that's my only thing is that they did such a good job porting this over and there's still more to be told. There's just a character I don't want to lose. This probably doesn't matter a bit. For me, when you keep it close to a book, there were a lot of people who complained about Game of Thrones, the TV series, straying away from the Martin books. It just would seem to me like if you stray away from a video game, it doesn't matter as much, but that's just my own personal opinion. That's right. If they make it good, I'll be sold. Right.

Hey, Susan Sarandon and Vince Vaughn star in the based on a true story comedy, Nanas. I watched this trailer. It looks pretty good. The Netflix film centers on a restaurant started up by Joe Scaravella, who decides to make it an Italian restaurant that employs Italian grandmothers, a.k.a. Nanas, as the chefs. The story is based on the real life Scaravella, which is the owner of a Staten Island restaurant.

eatery, which is called Inoteca Maria. Nanas also stars Linda Cardellini, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, Joe Manganiello, and Campbell Scott as well. So it's loaded with stars. The movie hits Netflix on May 9th, by the way. Is it Nanas or Nonas? I don't know. Okay. I don't know either. It's N-O-N-A-S. I just said Nanas. Yeah. I think it's Nonas. Nonapuya. Nonapuya. Nonapuya.

All right. We now have some clips to play. Do we? I guess they're mystery clips. All right. Here we go, folks. Hang on. What? They're not sent over just yet, unless you want to listen to a song by Mandy Moore. Let's listen to Mandy Moore. Go ahead. Yeah, why not? Here we go. Happy birthday.

This is a 90s tune, right? Yeah, I think so. Definitely. We're ready now here for a clip. Mystery clip. If you think you know who it is, raise your hand. Here we go. He had so many gifts of his own. He was on a beautiful trajectory and accomplished a lot of stuff.

But it was then him being able to get inspired by this woman who had every odd against her. Persevere, succeed, struggle, fail, flail, get back up. And so I was able to just like fall into that.

I think it sounds like Eli Roth. It's not. The quality of his voice, so it's not. Damn it. I could see that, though. Listen, I'm going to give it to Preston. I'm going to give you guys a hint. So this actor is in a Philadelphia-based... Oh, is it Jimmy Simpson? It is Jimmy Simpson. Congratulations.

They're talking about Audrey's Children. They're talking about Audrey's Children, which is now at theaters nationwide. Yes. And then Marissa needs to jump in here as well. Okay, Marissa. Because we have some breaking news. It is opening this weekend at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. Yes. That was Jimmy Simpson talking about Dr. Audrey Evans' partner, Dan D'Angelo. Excellent. Yes. All right, next question.

What? Oh, sorry. I'm just saying this next one is definitely gettable. Okay. The last few mystery clips, I'm looking at the names. I'm like, we're never going to get this. All right. This one's gettable. This is absolutely gettable. All right. Okay. And I'm going to look at, I'll be the judge. All right. Kathy, even you play along. All right. Here we go. Mystery clip now. Raise your hand if you think you know who it is. We all want to reveal secrets, and how we conceal them is part of what makes an allure or

Or a complication internally for a character. And then that's really helpful, I think, when you're working on film. Okay, here is your hint. It is not a verbal hint. It is a mime hint. Are you ready? You're going to mime something for us? Are you ready? Ready? Hang on a second. Yeah, okay. All right. Hats on backwards. The hat being on backwards doesn't matter. It just makes my movement easier. Are the glasses showing us off? He just took his glasses off. All right, you ready? Yeah.

Oh my God. Something with hair. Is it Amber Heard? No. Are you doing Little Mermaid? No. And then you just threw something. Yes. Casey is raking his hair back. He's basking in the sun and now he's throwing something.

Is that semen? No, it's not semen. Oh, I know who it is. You do? From Thor. And I love her. Cate Blanchett. Yes! You did it! Yes!

She would make those blades come out of her hands. All right. Well done. All right, Casey. She put her horns on or whatever. She was so hot in that role. I thought she was super sexy. And then watch her throw this, Kathy. Let's see how Casey did it, right? You did do it well. We're watching the video footage. I was seeing this, Preston. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's what I saw after you said that. Just throwing some jazz at you.

All right. That was good acting, Casey. Thank you. Thank you. By the way, Kate Blanchett is in a new movie called Black Bag, which is in theaters now. Yeah.

It's actually also streaming, too. All right. That's the entertainment report for you. Yay! I hope you got some entertainment out of that. So we have money to give away this morning.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Kat. Tomorrow morning, we're going to try something out, and I'm teasing this ahead of time so you are prepared for it. We've done a lot of Zoom chats with people, and we have found on occasion that it will be parents driving their kids to school. And they've got, you know, the phone that's mounted on the dashboard. They don't have to touch anything. They can just drive and talk to us.

And we'll see the kids in the background. And sometimes they say some cute things or they're making faces or whatever it may be. So this is a resource that we'd like to tap into and try out. So tomorrow morning around this time, we're going to try a contest called The Most Talented Kid in the Car.

And we want grade school age kids, like only to, you know, K to 5th. Actually, pre-K would work too, as long as they have some kind of a talent that they can perform for us. And that could be, like we said, it can be an impression. They could sing a song. They could tell a joke. They could play a musical instrument. They could make a face. If they're learning. Yeah, they could make some sounds, faces, whatever. A kid's talent.

And we'll just randomly, I don't even know if we'll get anybody to participate, but we'll try it tomorrow morning and see if we can. But it will be around this time tomorrow. If your kid can play the harpsichord, certainly we'd like to hear that. Right, of course. So we're going to give away 50-point gift cards from Arnold's Family Fun Center. I think we have like three of them, so we're going to have to make some choices. Oh, man. I hate for any kids to not win something, but I've got three of them. So we'll see how this works out tomorrow. So get your kids prepped.

Maybe do a little rehearsal and get ready for tomorrow morning. Again! Do it again! We're going to do this until you get it right. No, but yeah, tomorrow. Just for fun. We'll play around with it. But you may want them to rehearse a little bit and get set for that tomorrow morning. So we'll take a shot at that. But in the meantime, my mind is flooded with all kinds of things.

And I think we need to go to the stream. Or no, no. Yeah. Yeah. Stream. Totally stream. Yeah. Stream of consciousness. Stream of consciousness.

Dream of consciousness nerd. That's the one. All right, so there are several things that have come across my mind that I want to run by you. Actually, this one Kathy sent to me. This was just the other day. Lynn Villa Orchards, who we have a history with here on the President and Steve Show. Back in our Y100 days, we lived very close to Lynn Villa Orchards in Middletown Township. And we did all kinds of stuff with those guys. We had Casey, during month of stunts, drive a car into a pond.

Yes. On their property. We should reshare that. Man, that was so awesome. It was great. And we had a super loud S-bomb. But we used to do events there and so on. So they had to do this the other night. They are trying to save... Because we've had...

than normal temperatures, and especially overnight, it's been dipping down into the 20s. So they need to save their peach tree crop. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And in order to do that, they had to light a bunch of fires in the area, in the groves, in order to try and save them. And so...

And so it happened five years ago and it like destroyed their peach crop. So according to the owner or the farm manager, Norm Schultz, he said, if it gets down below 25 degrees, we could actually lose most of the peach crop tonight. So we're trying to burn some fires. And the main idea, he said, is to produce smoke.

to get a blanket of smoke over the orchard and to catch the heat coming up out of the ground and get a few degrees to get us through the night. So, like, literally, they have all these big fires that they were burning there trying to cover it in a blanket of smoke. So I've seen with the orange orchards, they will have, like, the ones that are very productive have basically heat lamps that are installed all along the route there that are just...

In addition, I don't know if they're producing smoke, but they're providing heat. Yeah, so I would imagine they have a little more money to play with. A little bit more money, yeah. They can run all that power. And so it's probably a different story for a place like Linvilla. Linvilla obviously does well, but they may not have that kind of capability. Yeah, I'm just wondering, like, there's got to be an invention, like...

Electric tree blankets is the only way I can sort of describe it. Well, I know what you're talking about. In the industry there probably is, but this is a... You've got a large area to cover here. Yep. So thermometer readings show the temperature was 24 degrees at ground level, but a little warmer at the height of the tree canopy. Fires were started using dry wood and plywood, and then green wood was added on top to produce the smokes. They have a technique. Yes. They've been at this for a while. And so they should have known...

Like the next day, whether or not it worked. So they would be able to check inside some of the peach blossoms to see if they were green, meaning they were healthy, or black, meaning that they didn't make it. Oh, man. Imagine putting in all that work and finding out. But you got to do what you got to do. It's fascinating.

Farming, man. Sometimes the elements just don't go in your favor. That's why processed fake food is the way to go. Absolutely. As many added chemicals as you can do. Get nature out of it. I never knew what a peach tree actually looked like. And this answers a question that I had asked my wife over the weekend because we were driving down, I guess we were going down either 322 maybe. And I saw these

trees and i was like what what are those like those are trees what kind of trees are those hon be such a smart ass honey i'm not seeing them while driving down the shore because like on either side of 55 especially this time of year uh really in the next couple of weeks um you can smell the peach blossoms and it's gorgeous so yeah next time you drive down the shore and you're looking you're driving through a jersey farm country you'll notice a lot of peach trees

So Fox had a small update on their website. It doesn't say much, but it says that it looks like Linvilla's efforts paid off. Oh, good. Oh, good for them. And they remained optimistic for the peach crop. All right. Excellent. Well, that's good news. But I was not familiar with that technique to create smoke as a blanket over it. Now I want to get over to Linvilla and buy some produce. Totally. And some apple cider donuts. Those are good, too. All right. All right. Let me.

Go somewhere else. The stream of consciousness. So, yeah, this is interesting. It's about Jimmy Hoffa. One of the enduring unsolved mysteries in American history is whatever happened to Jimmy? And 93-year-old New Jersey attorney Chris Frenzblah.

says a witness has recently come forward and told him exactly where Hoffa's body was dumped. Franz Blau, or it's B-L-A-U, so Blau, I don't know. I think you'd be right, yeah. Was an attorney for the Teamsters when Jimmy Hoffa was president of the union. Okay, there you go. And he says that a man named Jeff saw men in two cars pull up to the property where his father was excavating for a new building near the Pulaski Skyway. And according to Franz Blau, Jeff said...

I saw from where I was the body taken out of the trunk of one of those cars. I saw them put it in the excavation. One was a black Cadillac with Michigan plates. Hoffa had vanished in 1975 in Michigan after going to meet up with reputed Genovese crime victims.

family mobster Anthony Tony Provenzano. Hoffa reportedly called his wife that night to say no one had shown up for the meeting and he was never heard from again. So the FBI previously searched an area near the Pulaski Skyway and found nothing. But Franz Blas says that the area that Jeff pointed out is different from where the FBI searched and added that it has a point and he's buried right in that point. In the realm of

uh mob hits or presumed mob hits this is the titanic yeah of of mob hits because if someone is ever able to with dna identification find out exactly where jimmy hoffa's body is that'll be his that'll be a huge fine why did they kill him again um there was all sorts of uh things going back and forth with the union hoffa had a a

You know what's a great movie to watch? The Hoffa movie that Danny DeVito directed. Jack Nicholson playing Hoffa. Yeah, for whatever reason... It's called Hoffa. The mob didn't want Hoffa doing what he was doing with the union. Yes. And they took him out. There were issues, as you would well imagine, and there were improprieties all over the place. So, the area is at the end of Broadway in Jersey City near the Hackensack River next to Pulaski Skyway. So, this is the interesting thing. They ask...

Fans blah. Why does this guy feel that he can tell you now? And his reply, and it makes total sense, is, well, everybody's dead now, and that's the only reason. Oh, wow. So there's no repercussion that's going to happen. Now, there have been people who have come forward with absolutely they knew. I mean, the Meadowlands was always mentioned as a location for Hoffa's body. There was a place, Kathy, you know, along the...

the Bell Parkway. There was a, the grounds, in fact, this is the area where in Godfather, you know, take the cannolis, that's sort of that area that used to be mob burial area, but they would leave the body there. But I mean, Hoffa,

Hoffa's story has so many locations where he supposedly is. Yeah, yeah. Which makes me wonder, is anybody really going to take a look now that this guy said this? I do not know. I'll do it. But we'll find out. Yeah. We will find out. All right. Something else. Let's go. The stream of consciousness, sir. So the masters start today. You excited? I am excited. I'm...

That's what they, before you tee off. Everyone, the ceremonial pig. Yeah, the starter comes out and says... The celebratory pig sound.

What's wild is, all right, so the master's button is right next to the better off dead pig button. Okay. But they're on two different screens, which is weird, right? And you managed to trigger it. And I somehow, I'm a master, Preston. You are, you are. So, yeah, I am excited. My buddy, my golf, oh, by the way, I canceled my golf trip altogether. I'm not even going.

There's an extenuating circumstance. You did? Yeah. You want to hang out with me down the shore? No, actually. Thank you. But I'm going over to my buddy Jim's house and we're going to watch The Masters. So Jim's not going? Yeah, he's not going either. There's something else that happened. It's not worth bringing up on the air. Are you rescheduling this trip?

At some point, probably. Let me be your travel agent. You guys need to go. You can't just let this fall and not happen. Jim, are you listening? Reschedule the trip. If this golf trip should fall, who will pick it up? So anyhow, yes, I'll be watching the Masters. Here's the deal. If you go to the Masters, you can still feast like it's 2002 because...

The concession prices have not budged. And that's one of the things that's great about the Masters and is known for is that the prices, because you're already going to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get there, to stay there, to buy the ticket and everything. But they don't screw you with the food and beverage. They don't screw you at the drive-thru. So-

To give you an idea, signature eats like the iconic pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches are just $1.50. Wow. At Augusta National Golf Club, one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the world. And the beers top out, the most expensive beer is $6.

I mean, you can, they did, last year's I saw a journalist who was going into the concession area and he only had $20. He's like, all right, what all can I get for $20? And he came back with a massive tray of food. So we're looking at like the master's blend fresh brewed coffee is $2. $2! If you were to get a premium blend coffee at any other event, you'd be up in the $5 range. Yeah.

So quick question, and I've been sending you some stories relating to the Masters and all the rules and so on and so forth, the tradition. Concerning the Masters, to get a ticket...

You have to get your name on a list and then you're picked for the opportunity to purchase tickets? Correct. Okay, and those tickets routinely run about how much? I don't know. I've never looked that deep into it. So I have entered my name in the lottery before. Right. And obviously it wasn't chosen because I would have gone. I stopped doing it because I realized that I don't really like going to big golf tournaments. Oh, really? I've done it before. I've been to PGA Championship. I've been to the US Open. And...

I would rather watch it on television. Because you're only at one hole at a time. Or you could follow a golfer. You move around. Marissa and I went to Wilmington Country Club for a big, big tournament a couple of years ago. And we had a good time. But I really wasn't seeing enough golf, to be honest. To me, it's more of like...

Just to say that you've been there. It is. It's the pimento sandwiches. And you know what? I've been there. So now I don't need to go anymore. That's my personal take on it. And it's cool to see. I mean, we were standing 10 feet from Roy McIlroy. That's pretty cool. That's pretty neat. Roy! Roy! Roy! Yeah! I did say something. Oh, man. Roy!

I said something to a golfer one time. Damn it, I can't remember who it was. Nice pooper! But, you know, it was like nice putt, you know, or something like that. Oh, was that a no-no? No, no, no, no. You can actually, as long as you're respectful, it's cool. And a nice pooper wouldn't cut it. No. I actually got to say something to Jason Wirth one time when he played for the Nationals after he had won the World Series with the Phillies.

And he acknowledged me. And that was cool. That is cool. Just because he was standing on third baseline before the game or whatever. And I just yelled, hey, you know, thanks. Nice putt. Nice poop. Nice putt. No, but I just yelled something like, hey, you know, thanks for bringing a world championship to Philadelphia or whatever. And he just looked at me and gave me a, you know, a...

Not a big tap. Yeah. Not a big tap. What did we go to at Marion? And we went to those people. It was the U.S. Open. U.S. Open. Yeah, the Open was at Marion a few years ago. I think Justin Rose ended up winning that. He shot a one over to win it. We saw Tiger. We saw Tiger. We were in that lady's backyard. That was really cool. Preston, PGA Championships coming to Aronamick next year. Yeah.

And I would love to go to that. I'm actually, I'm surprised because you're such an avid golfer that you don't like it as much. I love it. I love going from hole to hole and just, you know, sort of watching. You get to learn like the course really well, you know, I don't know. To me, it's a really cool experience and it's just, it's super casual as well. Yep.

So I'm looking at an article USA Today, Masters tickets. Could this be right, Preston, that like just to buy them at face value, they're saying like between like $140, $160? Yeah. Okay. All right. That sounds about right. And then like right now on StubHub tickets for the first round are more than 6,000. Oh my God. By the way, last night, Dave Matthews did a private show at Augusta somewhere, Preston. Wow. And I want to know how do you get in on that?

There's all sorts of things that surround these tournaments. Well, I'm wondering, so they have the champion's dinner the night before, and I wonder if he performed for those guys. Anybody who's won a green jacket can go to this dinner that happens the night before the tournament takes place and let the previous year's champion host it. They have to say what's on the menu and all that stuff, and I wonder if he played for those guys. I don't know. Interesting. Interesting.

I want bags of spaghetti. Excuse me? So at this year's Masters, the new guest store, as far as the food goes, is a limited edition tomato pie turnover for $3. So yeah, they keep the prices nice and low for people. So if you're talking $150, let's say you get the ticket, then obviously, are there facilities on the facility available?

and things of that nature. No, not in the facility. Okay, I assume not. So everything around it probably jacks up significantly, correct? Most definitely. Yep, yep, absolutely. So it starts today, which is really cool. And what's the one that's coming to Cricket Club? A Truist? Yes. In like just a couple of weeks, right? It is. Yeah, and the biggies are going to be there. Yeah. We are blessed for golfers in this area to have some of the finest golf courses known.

Not only in the country, but around the world. It's amazing. We've got to get Paige sporadic. Yeah, we do. Someday. All right, let's stream somewhere else. The stream of consciousness, sir. A recent study suggested individual struggles with computer usage may be more closely linked to inherit cognitive abilities than the lack of training.

Research indicates that intelligence plays a significant role in one's ability to effectively use computers. Put into other terms, you got to be smart to use a computer good. I'm going to go. I'm going to break from this thinking. I'm going to refute some of this. Okay. I know people who are very smart.

who simply don't have the inclination or desire to learn keystrokes, to learn they will rely on other people to help them, and I know them to be smart, but I just think it's not their thing, and they prefer to keep it at arm's length. Do you know what I'm talking about? I do. Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure. I can't think of any intelligent person off the top of my head that struggles with computers, but it is a...

It is a way of thinking. And I guess it depends on what you're using because there's so many applications that you can dive into in a computer as far as what you use it for and how you use it. But, I mean, there are some things where I can tap out immediately. Like, I would never take the time to learn how to

create spreadsheets on word, you know, or something like that. So I'm really good at computers and the notion of learning spreadsheets. I want to, you know, eat a bullet. I could, I could care less. So things that I am, I will sit and learn a audio recording program, a production. I will learn things that speak to my interests. I will break it down and spend,

tons of time with it but it has to be something that i'm interested in there are things that confuse the hell out of me as far as the operating systems go for either phones or computers and that's when i call like intern jeremy yes and say hey dude i i need to figure this out i get you need to show me and i'll go okay you go to here then to there then to there then to there then there and then you'll see this button and you hit that and i'm like how did you derive that i start at you know the um

controls part and then that will lead me to sounds and haptics and then that leads me to blah blah blah. There's so many. It's the software writers who come up. There is a great piece of video production software called DaVinci Resolve and to do effects, so they have a thing called Nodes

I'm really good at this stuff. And I'm like, I'm looking at the nodes thing. I'm like, no, I don't like this. I don't like the way this is done and I'm not going to learn it. So I think a lot of times, and I'm not saying I'm smart, but people just go, nope, not my thing.

But the basic operating, running systems, getting things to work right, I'm pretty damn good at that. Sometimes it goes a little bit against, I think, logic. And you have to just memorize the path and not what would make sense to you. Take, for example, the Mac OS Safari. There are reading list bookmarks.

You hit a tab and they all become revealed to you. About four years ago, all that was at the top of the column.

Somebody in engineering decided to put those at the bottom. Why? There was something that was introduced on the iPhone a few years ago that I don't understand the application. The widgets. What's a widget? Do you remember when the widgets were introduced? Widgets have been around for a long time. That you can put them on your home screen? Is that what you mean? Yeah. I think it's just so you click it and it opens automatically. What?

For what reason? I click on things and they open automatically anyway. I guess, yeah, I don't know. What's a widget? Yeah. Like more, I don't know, like now on my home screen is the weather. So like I can just, that's the only thing I ever use. There's a whole subsection of things. It's IFTTT.

If this, then that. And it is a software. And the software literally, there's a little area that says, if this, and you enter what you want to do, then that happens. And it's kind of cool. I've used it a couple of times. It's a shortcut method.

So it's been believed, according to this study, that training is enough to increase somebody's ability to use a computer for tasks, including simple day-to-day things. However, the results of the study by Aalto University and the University of Helsinki show that practice isn't enough. The other major factor is age. The study showed that the older you are, the harder it is to use apps and programs. I love my dad and miss him dearly, but those tech support sessions were like, hmm.

Mother of God. Yep. Simply because I've asked you to identify a button on the computer screen does not mean I've immediately asked you to push that button. That's true. All right. Here's another stream.

There's a report that reveals what is inside America's lost luggage. It's a group called Unclaimed Baggage. It's a company that has contracts with domestic airlines to buy bags that owners don't pick up after a 90-day search. And then they donate, recycle, or they sell those items at their retail store, which we've talked about before. Yes, we've talked about that. In Scottboro, Alabama.

So the annual found report reveals the most common, unusual, and most valuable things discovered in the lost or abandoned luggage of air travelers in the last year. So I'll give you some examples of this. The most fascinating and unexpected finds, which are kind of like these reports that we see of what was left in an Uber last year. Right, like an artificial leg. So yeah, here you go. Freeze-dried chicken foot. Right.

Somebody found that. A movie script from The Goonies. Oh, wow. I love that. A toilet seat was left in the luggage. A glass eye. A teeth bedazzling kit. A full sheet of uncut $2 bills.

A letter signed by Eleanor Roosevelt from 1944. Yeah. And a cuckoo clock. So in your average luggage, is there anything that would be interesting or embarrassing if it were to be discovered when you travel? My luggage is pretty boring.

Yeah, mine is as well. I mean, I just don't want my underwear flying out, but no. Yeah, I don't... Does your underwear fly out when it opens? The way I pack... I can pack my entire closet in one suitcase if the airline could allow the weight. On a couple of occasions, I've thrown like a bottle of booze in there. Oh, yeah? And stick it in the clothes so it'll be... That almost scares me. That it'll break. Oh, yes. And then you're screwed. And then every... Yeah. But I've done that a couple times and been fine. Have you ever...

Have you ever brought heroin on a... That goes in my butt. That goes in your butt, yeah. So the most valuable treasures found in a bag in 2024, we'll work our way up. A Chanel tweed coat dress that was worth $9,600.

A $20,000 18-carat Rolex. A $14,000 M11 rangefinder camera. A $10,000 Louis Vuitton suitcase. And then the most expensive thing they found was a $39,000 diamond engagement ring. Oh, my God. Like, left and lost luggage. I could see losing an engagement ring, right? Like, that happens. Yes.

But losing a Rolex to me, like how do you not know that you don't have your $34,000 Rolex? But was it in the suitcase? Yeah. So these are, you know, lost bags that never find their way to the owner. So these are lost... Like people didn't show back up to pick it up. Or was it so lost that they were never able to reclaim it? Might be that too. Yeah. Well, like...

Trish in our sales department, like her, where's her luck? Like it's still somewhere. It's in Italy somewhere. So Nick, maybe if, if it was something like that, never recovered. And like they, that's why I will never pack anything that has, uh,

of that much value. Carry it with you. I guess if it's a $34,000 Rolex, I'm hunting it down no matter what it is. You know what? I don't care if it gets lost in Italy or what the excuse is. I'm finding my goddamn Rolex. Wear it on the frigging flight. Yeah, you could do that. You're allowed to wear your watch. But Steve, I got the Apple AirTag from you when I went to Italy.

And I didn't have anything of value necessarily in my luggage, but I just wanted to know where it was. And I will always, if I'm ever going to check a bag again, I will always throw an AirTag in there. It was awesome because when I was sitting there in the terminal waiting for, you know, to board the flight, I was like, you know, I pull up the AirTag thing. I'm like, yep, the AirTag is...

10 feet away from me right now. And it gives you a fighting chance. Yeah. Like you could say, well, I know for a fact it's here. And people have told me who have emailed me and texted me their experiences where the airline will say, no, no. And they'll say, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's here. I can see it right on the premises. Well, it's actually part of the

process now. So if you lose your luggage, there's, they ask, do you have an air tag in your luggage? And you have to provide them with some data. So I guess so that they can use it or, you know, to help find the luggage. But the air tag was one of the ways that I knew that we were not leaving Tampa airport when we came back from spring training because my luggage never moved. They'd say, okay, we're boarding in 20 minutes. I'm like, no, we're not. My luggage didn't move. I know we're not.

We're not going anywhere. Okay. So the most frequently found items last year, and they're pretty boring. They're pretty standard. Underwear. What? Was the most frequently found item last year. Pants. Pants.

Who brings pants? Books as well. And the most commonly found book was It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. Oh, yeah. So it's kind of a hot book. Sure. It was. Shoes, the most common size were men's size 11 Nikes. That's common? That's the most common shoe found, yeah. Oh.

And then another common find, iPhones have been left in luggages a lot. Why would you pack your iPhone in the luggage? Anything of value, any electronics, anything that you're afraid of losing should go on the flight with you. Plus, most people are in constant contact while they're flying. As you land, people have landed. I don't know. But anyhow, these are common things. Casey, do we need to finish?

Do we need to finish? Or can we do one more? Five, six, seven. He's doing the math because we've got to be on time for... I have a short one. Yeah, do a shorty. Do a short one. All right. This is a little scary. The Guardian reports that the United Kingdom government is developing...

prediction algorithm that will aim to identify people who are most likely to commit murder. So this is Minority Report. That's exactly what I was thinking, Steve. The pre-crime. Yeah, the precogs and the pre-crime system. Yeah, this is also...

A shield launching floating ships above the world and shooting potential criminals. That's right, yeah. So the report which cites documents acquired by Freedom of Information Request by transparency organization State Watch found that the Ministry of Justice was tasked with designing a profiling system that can flag people who seem capable of committing serious violent crimes.

before they actually do so. I got news for you. We can all, at certain points, commit serious crimes. Yes. If pushed, the so-called Homicide Prediction Project, renamed to the Sharing Data to Improve Risk Assessment Project, so it's not come off... It's the Sharing Data to Improve Risk Assessment. So it doesn't come off as too dystopian, sucked up the data between 100,000 and 500,000 people in an effort to develop models that could identify predictors in the data for homicide risk.

So the records reportedly are not limited to those with criminal records. Of course. But also include the data of suspects who were not convicted, victims, witnesses, and missing people. So let's say this, all right? You get accused of a crime.

Can they employ this hypothetical data during the trial to say, well, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this algorithm here says he was inclined to do this. And that's kind of what Minority Report did. Before you committed the crime, they would arrest you and put you in prison. I don't like it. It also included details about a person's mental health, addiction, self-harm, suicide, vulnerability, and disability.

health markers that they claimed were expected to give a significant predictive power. Wow. It looks like it's one bit. Exactly. Yeah, Steve, the moment that they would move on, you know,

charging someone on that basis alone yeah that's when you've crossed a an uncrossable or even if it contributes to a conviction so uh the guardian reported that government officials denied the use of data of victims or vulnerable populations and insisted that only data from people with at least one criminal conviction was used so over the course as you get older and you read more history and you read about things and cia things and things around the world they

That's exactly what you say when that's exactly what you're doing. Yeah, yeah. All right, that's all we have time for. Sorry about that. I have more, but maybe we'll get to it in another form. We're counting on it. All right, we will take a break. We'll come back in a second.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. 93.3 WMMR Philadelphia. Where are your sausages? It's time for a Preston and Steve 20-Money Keyword. All right, the keyword is group.

G-R-O-U-P. You have until 25 minutes after the hour to enter that. And you can do it through the MMR app or at WMMR.com. Or you can even text it to our special contest short code number, which is 45911. One random entry will win $1,000 in our company-wide contest. And each MMR winner gets a pair of MMRBQ tickets on top of that. Winners will get a call from Beasley. Make sure you answer your phone. Contest rules at WMMR.com. And the President's Eve...

20 Money Competition is sponsored by United Tire and Service. So let me give you that word again. It is GROUP. G-R-O-U-P. Enter that now, and good luck to you. Before we do the Bizarre File, two things. I want to mention this again. Tomorrow morning, we're going to try out a contest just for fun. We've seen when we Zoom with people from time to time, they'll have the kids in the backseat of the car behind them. And I guess they're taking them to school. And we want to see what we can do with that because sometimes these kids...

Kids say the darndest things, Steve. They do. As Art Linkletter does. So we're going to do a most talented kid in the car contest. So tomorrow morning, starting around 7.15 a.m., kids fifth grade and younger in this car need to do some kind of a performance for us. It could be anything. It could be a joke. It could be an impression. It could play a musical instrument, sing a song, whatever.

and we've got some prizes that we'll give away for our favorites. So that is tomorrow morning, and we'll tell you how to get on board for the Zoom link. Just text ZOOM to 6106609333. So we're going to try it tomorrow. I don't know what the contributions will, if it will get anybody, but we'll try it. I'm going to put in the request right now. If your kid can do a monologue from Django Unchained, I'd like to see it. Yes, I would too. Real quick for the B-file, a couple of shard outs. I got this.

Okay, so I got this from a guy named Liam, Liam Thomas. And I get stuff like this all the time. So I just want to address this here. He says, I'm a longtime listener of the President Steve Show. Ever since my dad turned me on to it when I was a kid. I'm a guitarist that plays in a metal band. We are called Obsolescence.

and I'm a composer too. And I enjoy all the segments you guys do, but also am quite appreciative of all that you guys do for radio and music because of the impact that it has on the Philadelphia music community. Nice. He said, I wanted to inquire about an opportunity that you could give to a local hard rock metal band to get ourselves out there more and even come to speak to you guys. It would be amazing to meet you in person and talk all things rock slash metal.

And so here's the deal with this, Liam. I mean, we have, there are so many bands out there. And we are not in charge of the music programming of WMMR. That's our program director, Chuck D'Amico. And so we don't, you know, just invite local bands on. Also, it's kind of a double-edged sword. You want to introduce new music to people. But also, we need to play music that's familiar to people as they're on the way into work.

And so it's why it's kind of hard to take a shot on an unproven band. Listen, it's the conundrum of being in the music industry. So we have occasionally, like with Froggy, when Froggy had this story attached to them, and it was kind of a cool thing that happened. But there is an outlet here. Yeah, so that's what I was going to say. We have our local shops. And Brent Porsche. He's the man for this. Yeah, you can go to WMMR.com, and that is your best way into it. So it's just not...

what we do on the morning show. So I'm just being very candid with you and explaining to you how this works. So I appreciate you reaching out to us, Liam. That is really cool. He goes on to say, I totally understand if you can't do it and I appreciate your time either way. If not, would it be possible to give a shout out to my other bands? And by the way, the name is Obsolescence.

uh, give my other bandmates, uh, Ben, Nick, Dan, and Victor a shout out. I appreciate all that they do. And I wouldn't even be sending this email if it weren't for them. Anyways, keep on, keep on rocking and have a great week. And that is from Liam Thomas, the guitarist of obsolescence, which is a cool name by the way, dude. Uh, so good luck to you guys and look into the local shots program. It's, uh, it's tough to get, you know, a foot in the door. Yeah. We've got, uh,

local bands playing the MMRBQ. Yes, we do. If you do well, local shots, you can end up playing MMRBQ. Yeah, I mean, you got Octane and Fat Mez both on the main stage. All right, and then one more quick one and then we'll do the B-Files. It says, hey, I'd love to give two shout-outs to my husband, Joe, and our 11-year-old son, Logan. This is from Amanda from New Jersey. She said, on Sunday, April 13th, they'll be shaving their heads to help raise money for childhood cancer research with St. Baldrick's. Oh, that's great. Logan has been shaving his head for this cause ever since he was in preschool and heard

that another student was sick. And this will be his seventh year doing it. And he is more excited than ever because he joined the rank of Knight of the Bald Table. And my husband has started to join in with Logan's St. Baldrick's team. They're called Fuzzy Lions Getting Haircuts. And he got in there about three years ago. Both of them currently have their

Super long. And my husband can't wait to have it short again. He hasn't had his hair this long since we were dating over 17 years ago. To say that I'm proud of them is an understatement. And I know Logan would get a kick out of his own personal shout out. Thank you, Amanda from New Jersey. There you go. And there's two. And that's a great thing you guys are doing. So very, very cool. All right. Now it's time for the B-File. Here we go. Exactly.

WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. Brought to you by Adam Home Services. You can get a $59 AC tune-up guaranteed to keep your system running or your money back. And you can call the pros. Call Adam. AdamHomeServices.com This happened here, gang. And you may have seen the video, but if not, you gotta look for it. It's scary. A group of pallbearers...

fell into the grave alongside a coffin as they tried to put their loved one to rest. The mourners were bearing Benjamin Aviles, who died suddenly from heart complications on March 21st at his home in Philadelphia. Video footage intended to record Benjamin's final descent instead captured the awful accident at Greenmount Cemetery in the city. A group of pallbearers are seen walking the coffin from the hearse to the awaiting grave.

They positioned the coffin over the straps, ready to lower it down into the grave when suddenly the platform gives way and all of the men tumbled inside of the pit with the coffin. Some were actually kind of squashed by the coffin, which are heavy, by the way. They're very heavy. That's why you have so many people carrying them. Yeah. The men sustained injuries to their legs, hands, and backs as they were crushed into the mud. Benjamin's son, also named Benjamin, suffered the most.

The family blamed the cemetery and funeral home for the mishap, reporting that the platform was in poor condition. That's just... Oh, my God. It's not bad enough. You're trying to just say goodbye to someone you love, and then that happens. It's already a terrible occasion, and then that happens? I wonder...

I mean, and this is still early to be saying this. If someday later in life they'll look back and go, you know. So there is the skid coffin flop, which is, you know, Tim Robbins.

Robinson, yeah, his show on Netflix. And they have something that's similar to this. I think it's hilarious. I don't think this is hilarious right now. No, no. Maybe in a couple of years, yes. But, I mean, thankfully, no one was seriously hurt.

I wonder if they'll look at the man who died, his personality, and go, yeah, of course. He would have loved it. Hopefully, then they can get some solace that way. All right. An 81-year-old New York woman is stuck in Puerto Rico because her airline won't let her fly with her pet parrot.

And now it's interesting because Maria Fraterigio says that Frontier Airlines gave her the okay to fly to the island. Well, how does that happen? With her African gray parrot, Plucky, in a carrier. However, when it came time to go home, a Frontier rep told her that she had to lose the bird if she wanted to make the flight. Frontier admits that allowing the parrot on board was a mistake, adding that they don't permit large birds in the cabin.

And they won't accommodate her. Fredericia, or Fredericia is how you say him, calls Plucky, her emotional support animal, and says that the two really bonded after she lost her husband. What the hell are we going to do? A police officer who died in 9-11 related, from cancer from 9-11. So far, the woman's son hasn't been able to get her home on commercial or private planes. Frontier now says it's looking into bringing her back home. So, how...

What do you do? Take a boat? How's Plucky? Plucky? How's Plucky? How's Plucky going to fly back? All right, so a drunk man wearing a pink wig, fake breast, and a pink thong.

was arrested Friday evening for causing a disturbance outside of an Applebee's. I can explain. I thought you were going to say Waffle House. While concerned, diners had their eating good in the neighborhood disrupted. Cops say Daniel Cirello was so intoxicated that he was unable to

provide for his own safety and well-being as he was stumbling around the Applebee's parking lot in clear water. There we go. Why can't that stuff happen while we were down there? We would have had him on the show. The extremely disoriented Cirello tried to enter a vehicle that did not belong to him, and when questioned by deputies, he was unable to answer basic questions such as where he was, where he came from, and what state he was in.

An arrest report does not offer further details. Those are tough questions. His clothing. He was arrested for disorderly intoxication and booked into the county jail where he changed into an orange outfit because that's what you wear at the county jail. Excuse me while I slip into something more comfortable. There's a mugshot of this guy. I would love to have seen him in this outfit. I have to see him. He's just this big. Oh.

Oh, dear. Middle-aged, disgruntled-looking man. Wait, what's the line from the first line? Sir, this is an apple. Yes, exactly. What's that from? I couldn't place it either, Nick. In the article, the first thing it says, sir, this is an apple. All right. If somebody knows what movie that is from, text this, please. Following a night in jail, he was freed from custody after pleading to the misdemeanor charge, and he was ordered to pay a total of $570 in fines and court costs.

The Minnesota woman who confessed in her personal journal that she, quote, totally stole a car today, pleaded guilty to a felony charge. Vanessa Guerrero. That was like eight months ago, right? Yeah, copped to receiving stolen property in connection with the theft last year of a 2004 Ford Freestar van. Judge said her sentencing for July 21st and ordered a pre-sentence investigation. The conviction carries a maximum penalty of five years.

During an auto theft investigation, police determined the stolen van had been sold for scrap and the salvage business has stated that she was the one who bought it. And during the police probe, they were able to locate a journal which contained incriminating entries. On the same day that the Ford's owner discovered the vehicle missing, she wrote, totally stole a car today. Something I never thought of doing. F-ing super freaking out about it. So she's going to go to jail. Yeah. Isn't that funny the way that works?

All right, and then we'll do one more story, and we will wrap this up. I need something kind of short and sweet and to the point, and I'm looking through here, and these are all really long stories. How about this one?

Just people enjoying the outdoors with no technology except for the escalators. The Ling Shan Scenic Area, China, is nearing completion of a big project to install a series of outdoor escalators leading up to its 4,900-foot-high summit.

Starting in 2022, it is scheduled to open next month. The project aims to make the mountains peak accessible to a broader range of visitors, including the elderly and those with mobility challenges. Yeah, yeah. So an actual escalator going up a mountain. I wonder how they're pulling that off outside in the elements, but obviously they are. Yeah, previously reaching the top took a two-hour climb of thousands of steps.

And with the new escalators, a trip will take only a few minutes. So some think it's a great idea that'll help people who might not otherwise get to enjoy the attraction. Others argue it diminishes the traditional hiking experience. That it does. And it's kind of big and bulky and wonky looking. Have you seen those? I think it might be in China as well. It is a staircase without a railing that goes up. It's very high up. And people take the challenge and climb up to the top. Apparently there's some sort of...

or something, but you'll see shots that looks like, literally like a stairway to heaven. Wow. And no rails. And you see people going up and crawling on it. We're looking at a picture of this. No way, dude. No way. Not after a certain height. I mean, I'd feel pretty confident up to about, I don't know, 50 feet or something like that. And I'd be like, get me the hell off of this thing. All right, and there you go. That's what I have in the Bizarre File for you.

By the way, a lot of people are texting three different things for, sir, this is an Applebee's. Okay. Some people are saying Talladega Nights. Some people are saying it's an amalgamation from The Office. Sir, this is a Wendy's, which is from an episode of The Office. So they're just having fun with that. And then some people are saying it's the movie Couples Retreat with Vince Vaughn. Hmm.

They never went to a chain restaurant. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, they're on an island resort. More people are saying Talladega Nights than others. Because there's a scene where they go to Applebee's at Talladega Nights. But it's that, sir, this is an Applebee's. Like, that's the tone of it. Yes. I think that that might be the office, but I don't know. All right. All right, we'll see.

I do want to mention this because you got 10 minutes left to enter our keyword for the Preston and Steve 20 money. The word is group. G-R-O-U-P. So get on it. You haven't done it yet. You can do it through the MMR app or WMMR.com. And of course, you can text it to the special contest short code text number, which is 45911. But again, the word is group. G-R-O-U-P. So do that now. We'll be back in a moment.

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. Somebody check my brain. Alice in Chains. And Three Days Grace. No one will ever change the sad and warm I have become.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Kath, how is Kathy's Cuts coming? I need an update. We have two spots available. Oh, wow. One at 630, one at 730, and that's it. Okay. So, WMMR.com and get signed up that way? Yep. Okay. This event is coming up Friday, May 2nd at True Beauty Concepts in Southampton, and you need at least 14 inches of hair. In fact, you'll find the requirements on the entry. And we have a website, right? Yes.

Yes, what I've been told. But we do have a sponsor, too. Hey! Live Casino and Hotel Philadelphia and Nemours Children's Health are on board. We love both of them. Kathy's Cuts benefiting Wigs for Kids now, and it's what year? What number do you think? So I think we figured out it's the 16th year. We had a two-year hiatus in the middle during COVID, but I think it was 2008 when...

I cut my hair. I cut my hair and it all started. Here's the question. How many feet of hair has been gathered over all that time? You know, we used to keep track of the number of ponytails that went out, but not... No, and I think for a while we did because the people went out.

they get their hair cut, they want to measure it. They want to know exactly how much hair was cut. But yeah, I don't know the feet. But yeah, but thank you to Gravity Hair Salon and Vibe Salon and our friends from Dunkin'. Everybody's contributing in this. Attributed concepts already mentioned. So yeah, two spots left. Get them while the getting's good. All right. And you can go to WMMR.com. Before we move on to anything, I did miss a shout out earlier.

It says, hey guys, it's Thursday the 10th. Today, my mom is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the daycare that she opened while pregnant with me. Oh, wow. She opened Kids Campus Daycare in Clifton Heights 30 years ago. Starting out with just a few kids, her business has since grown to over 60 children enrolled.

And it's become her passion and she has put so much effort into staying in her current location this past year as the building recently transferred ownership. She deserves some recognition for being an amazing business owner, preschool teacher, and member of the Delco community for the past 30 years.

And I'd love if you could give her a shout out. Her name is Teresa Sweeney and her daycare is Kids Campus. And it says, P.S., her maiden name is Teresa McNamara. Okay. She is the sister of Casey's childhood friends, Brian and Barry McNamara. I didn't realize that. Wow. Thank you so much from Erin Sweeney. And here is the shout out. All right.

That's a crowning achievement to a really wonderful career. Is that short? But yes, that's very cool. It's funny. As you were doing the story, I was like, oh, you know, six degrees of Casey in Delco. And then when you said Teresa Sweeney, I'm like, oh, I know a Teresa Sweeney. Well, there you go. It all came together. She's done good. Excellent. Oh, by the way, quick follow up.

We had asked where the line, sir, this is an Applebee's. Right. Seemed like a movie line. We got a lot of texts. People suggesting it was either from The Office or Talladega Nights or Couples Retreat. Marissa has found clips from all of those. All right. Okay. And has come to the conclusion that it's none of them. So.

So here's the here's the office clip. This is a Wendy's restaurant. I do. This is a Wendy's restaurant. Nope, that's not. Sir, this is an Applebee's. Here's Talladega Nights. Applebee's has rats.

I found a whole rat macabre salad. Dad, where are you going? Come on, frat boy, you want to go? All right. All right. And then couples retreat. You think when your marriage is over that you're going to find somebody that just caters to you no matter what, that you're not going to have to work at it? It's going to be like psyched to go to Applebee's with you. It'll be Friday night and you'll hear the same football stories about how you rocked in high school. I did rock in high school football. You want to check tape? But whoever that person is, you have to listen to their stories too or they're not going to go to Applebee's with you.

You're not going to have someone to go to Applebee's with. You'll be sitting by yourself eventually at Applebee's all alone. Who wants to go to Applebee's by themselves? Okay, not that one. It's a good one, though. It is a great line, yeah. This isn't a movie. This is a viral video that Marissa found where this kid is super cute when he or she pronounces Applebee's. Here we go. Hey, what's up, homie? Hey, what we got?

Aplevis. Aplevis? Yeah. We got some marisco going on right now. Aplevis. Aplevis. Aplevis. Oh, that's great. Oh, my God. That's great. Aplevis. We used to go to Chipotile. Chipotle. Yeah, yeah. We go to Chick-fil-A all the time. Chick-fil-A? Mm-hmm. Okay.

Somebody else is suggesting there were a few texts that came in the Apple business. It could be from Hall Pass. So Marissa, I'm sorry. Yeah, with Owen Wilson. Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis. Yeah, so I don't know. Let's not give Marissa. All right. Enough. Don't worry about it, Marissa. All right, what? The best I

found is there's actually a site called knowyourmeme.com and years ago somebody said sir this is an Arby's and it's from a tweet from like 2011 where somebody said like somebody's like going off high like an emancipation blah blah blah blah blah blah and then the

photo is just a person behind a register. I bet you it has more of a correlation to that meme, Marissa, more than likely. I know that the line is uttered, a form of it is uttered in the Ridley Scott Napoleon. I'm going to watch that. Where's that streaming? May I borrow your password? Marissa, I'll bet you that is from that meme.

I'll bet you're right. They're just doing a tweak on it. Memes have now just taken over our brain space. It exists. It does. All right. Well, glad we kind of cleared that up, I guess. All right. I now give the floor to Casey Foster, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, guys. I don't get it. I just don't understand. Now, you said there's something you don't understand. It's time for Casey's I Don't Get It. And it's...

You could have easily looked this up online, but you would rather have fun asking us. I wanted to ask you guys, and I'm sure that you've seen this on... Because you admire us. I do admire you. And you guys, you know, collectively are...

Smart people, right? Maybe not individually, but yes, we're brain trust. All knowable information is within this studio right now. And so I've seen this pop up on Instagram for a while now. And then it's, for some reason, it's now part of my algorithm again. And I honestly, I just don't understand the physics behind this. I don't know if it's physics, but to me, it seems like it's physics. Okay.

Why do I think I can guess what this is? Okay. All right, guys. What is it? Is it the guy who jumps onto the water and jumps back off? No. Okay. No, no, no, no. It is... How... All right. So, Marissa, can you bring in a prop? I need this prop. Yeah. A prop? A prop, yeah. This is a... A mirror. We're generally referred to as an anal probe. All right. This is about a four and a half foot tall mirror. Is this the thing where you...

put a blanket in front of the mirror and then the person on the other side at a different angle can see the image. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen that as well. Hey, I haven't seen it. Okay, well, thanks to show it to Kathy. All right, so I need somebody. Can we get like an intern or somebody in here to hold the mirror? Colin or Grace? Yeah, Colin. Yeah, here comes Colin. Come in and help. Colin is like the sweetest guy.

Do we have a towel? We need a blanket, right? Yeah, we have stuff. Oh, you have stuff? Okay. All right. Now, you guys have never met, correct? Do me a favor and just hold this like this. I'll grab this. Okay. So, Preston. Yes. Here is something that I just don't understand. Yes. Okay. I'm going to hold this. So, you can't see your own reflection? So, I can't see my own reflection. Right. Okay. Can you see my face in the mirror? If you angle it this way, I can, yes. How? How?

because the light from you is also picked up over here at an angle. You don't have to be directly in it. Okay. And so it's angled towards me, so I can see it. Now, if I were to move it this way, I wouldn't be able to see you that way, because now this has blocked this part of the mirror. It's a bank shot, basically. A bank shot? How? How? How?

If your face is covered, how can anyone else see it? All right, put that over your head completely. Now I can't see it. Now you can't see it? I know what... I understand your confusion. I don't know how to explain it. My brain is...

I just can't comprehend. I just don't... This is like... I don't even have the words. Casey, I've seen about 200 videos pertaining to this thing and people freaking out about it. To be honest, I never took time to actually explore the... I always thought it was the angle is determining from the viewer who can see the reflection. Right. It is the angle. So the light, as Preston's saying, it is a bank shot, basically. Casey, if the mirror... Hang on. Let's talk about...

Let's do it like this. If the mirror was only right here, I wouldn't be able to see you. Casey, I can see your face. You can see my face? Yeah, I can see you fine. This thing is right up against the mirror. I know, but this isn't. This part of the mirror is still exposed. This is taking in light from you. Okay. You still are exposed. If I stand right here, I can see you. Yeah. All right? So if I move over here and this thing were up this high, I wouldn't be able to see.

to see you. Casey. But I can see you with my eyes from over here. Dude, go back and look at the thing. All right? Okay. Now, can you see my face? No. Okay. I can see my face. Well, so it's like it's similar to or another version of it. Like if you're taking a group picture, right? Like make sure you can see the camera. Otherwise, you're not going to be in the picture. So you're kind of

implying that to the mirror, which is not the case. Because you're not taking into consideration the reflection and the angles at which things reflect. Does that make sense?

No. No. So what my brain has done now is just completely shut down. And I'm not even like hearing what you guys are saying anymore. Did it make sense when you were holding that shirt up in front of you? Yeah. That if you held it up like this and I walked all the way to the other side shirt, I couldn't see you. But if I move to the side, I can now see you.

And so the mirror can too, because that part of the mirror is not obscured by that piece of cloth. Oh, man. Does that make sense to you? I need this like dumbed down. Wait. So, okay. This happened not that long ago. I brought Nick into the studio and I was like, Nick,

explain this to me it was an image okay it was a square and uh it was like maybe like a checkerboard with the pennies on it and if you move the penny oh sure yeah he he dumbed it down so dumb for me and at the end of it he's like do you understand and i just went yeah i still don't understand it and he and like we got back into the conversation a second time and he's like i explained this

all to you already. I was like, oh, right, I know. And I still, to this day, I can't, I don't understand. I don't understand how it works. Does this case... Actually, you know what? What's happening right now is I'm starting to understand it a little bit because Preston is not standing in front of the mirror, right? So I just basically wrote, I drew the same design on the screen in the studio case as the explanation. Okay. Okay.

Yeah, there you go. Okay, I get it. I get it. You do? I do. I do. All right. Because I'm like Preston's not standing in front of the mirror. I'm not standing in front of the mirror, but I can see Preston's reflection in the mirror. So I'm looking at the mirror. I see neither of you because I'm at a different angle. Okay. Casey, look at this diagram on the screen over here that Preston and I share. Okay. See how like when you're behind this mirror and this angle.

It's a different direction? Mm-hmm. All right. So just, I mean, I know that this doesn't necessarily translate to the radio audience, but this is a really good explanation with a good diagram. And there are explanations, I think, that dumb it down properly for you where you will get it. You'll understand it. Now, I have a completely different thing. If you ever come across a very large mirror that comes up to an edge...

Like on a wall or something like that. Like, Kathy, if you were going to a clothing store and you want to stand in front of the mirrors and take a look at what you're trying on. Those really big mirrors. And we used to do this all the time when we were mall rats hanging around the wall. Did you guys ever do this thing where you're... What is it? Yes! Yes! There's a guy who has...

There's a guy who has a Nimbus 2000 set up and it looks like he's flying a broom, Preston. I still love doing this. Or a bike. We would do a bicycle. Okay. We would do pretending. So if you straddle it, if you put it at your groin and you lift one leg up in the air, it looks like you have both legs off of the ground. Yeah.

I still get a kick out of it. It's still funny. I still find it funny. It is. And I still will, on occasion, freak myself out by opening...

opening so i have two mirrors i have uh in in the bathroom i've got the very large mirror and then i have a medicine cabinet mirror and if you open the medicine cabinet mirror and move it closer to the full wall mirror right you start to get the yeah endless loop of 5 000 prestons i love that i still like doing that every now and then freak myself out a little bit this is a uh misshapen labia

Oh, my God. It actually is. Steve just pulled up a picture of a misshapen labia. Does that help? Does that help? It helps a little bit. It looks like chewed up bubble gum on a baked potato is what that looked like. So with the mirror thing, it's relatable. If you're at the wrong... Look at it! Chewed bubble gum on a baked potato. That's what that looked like.

Kathy, get back to the penny thing. What's the penny thing? We don't have to drag it out any further, but it looks like a magic trick where there are, I don't know, something like 12 pennies around a square, and then this dude removes one penny at a time, and it confuses your brain because the number of pennies that you're counting, it seems like it should be the same, but it actually goes down by one. No, no, it seems like it should go down by one, but there's still the same amount of pennies. And I'm like, that doesn't make

any sense. So when I sat down to explain this to Kathy, two things occurred to me. The first is, in my brain, I understand it, but my ability to explain it to Kathy, to teach it, is not great. And so it made me admire somebody who can actually explain these things and teach them properly. The second thing is, Kathy, you

You and I could sit in a room for five hours and I don't think you'd ever get it. I think that like it's just and Casey like with the mirror like there are times where your brain just switches off and if you're not going to get it you're just not going to get it. Yeah I still don't and it will pop back up on my social media feed and it annoys me. I'm like I can't watch this again because I can't grasp the concept of how there are still the same amount of pennies when you're taking some away. We were kind of talking about this maybe yesterday we were just talking about like this like math where people just kind of like freeze.

uh, anxiety. And, uh, and I get that sometimes like a Sudoku and stuff like that, where I'm like, it's, uh, it gives me anxiety is the only way I can. Why do you think you're good at poker? Um,

I don't think I am. Well, you're better than... I'm better than... You played in tournaments. You're good enough. I would say this, Casey. Casey, on the whole, I'm probably better at math than you. Right. But there's no question you are much better at poker than me. I think... Well, because I've played cards my whole life, right? So...

It's like if you know DOS or something like that, then all computer systems are going to come easier to you, right? So I grew up playing first Rummy 500 and then Gin Rummy, and then I played a lot of Hearts. And then when I learned how to play Hearts, it made it easy to learn how to play Spades. And then when I played Pinochle, and those are three different games. But they translated enough. But they all translated the same. And when I learned how to play Euchre two summers ago,

And the guy that I was playing against or with, I should say, he was like, how are you so good at this already? And I was like, because it's

I don't know. Shut up. Well, it's another card game. Because you've been playing card games your whole life, you're inherently good at card games. Yeah, I get card games. I understand them. By the way, here's a text that says you guys have the best jobs on the planet. You're getting paid to comment on Miss Shapin' Labias. By the way, great punk rock girl band name. Miss Shapin' Labias? Yes. And then somebody says, Chewed Up Bubblegum.

Chew down bubble gum on a baked potato is the funniest thing I've ever heard Casey say, surpassing ah bees and those tornadoes for real. There you go. Oh, yeah, we're going to go via Zoom. Our buddy Ra is on the line. Hey, Ra. Hey, there's a mountain staring. Oh, my God. Hey, guys. What's up, man?

What's good, man? Long time. It was a one time, long time. First time. Listen, if anybody people you guys might know about this, when you're trying to shave your face, you're trying to sculpt your face or do something with the mustache or whatever. Right. And you're trying to get it looking nice and even. For some reason, my eyes have trained myself to see my crooked face as even in my mirror. Right.

But I have to go to another mirror with my mirror and do some kind of like reverse thing. And the way I know it's reversed is I put my tongue in my cheek over here. Yeah. And then when I put my face in the mirror, it'll show up on the other side of my face. So I know I'm looking at the reverse. That's a good idea. And I see...

And I can see what my real face looks like to people. You know what I mean? Because what I'm seeing in the mirror is not my real face. Wow. And so when I do it, my face is so crooked and weird. I'm like, oh, man. And I used to have to fix the mustache. It's usually too much hair on this side or something crazy going on. And it really helps me.

sculpt my face correctly. And it was something I had to practice and practice and practice. It's funny you bring that up. It's funny you. Because so many people now who are, say, they're streaming or they have video setups at home or they're doing social media. And if you've ever been on camera and have to point to something behind you, it'll throw you off because things are... And you can actually do a camera setting that'll recorrect that. But yes, it throws you off. Absolutely. It's like being on stage and whatnot, telling somebody, wave your hand to the left, but you're really going to...

going through the ride. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That kind of thing. You have to have a separation. It's a beautiful thing to learn like doing miracles. A lot of times, like even when I'm trying to cut the back of my head, you know, I'm trying to do something. I don't want to go to the barbershop for something little.

Learning to do that with a mirror is so crazy sometimes. Yeah. Can you do a freestyle? I'm just just on those skills. Can you do a freestyle rap about that? You know, when you're in the mirror and want to see something clearer, I don't really know, but it brings a vision nearer and everybody understands the way when you hear it on the Zoom. We up in the room, chilling with Preston Steve, nothing but blooms, no dooms. Everybody's crooning. I don't know. It's good enough, man.

Way better than anything we've ever spit, man. I haven't robbed in so long, man. But your hair looks amazing. Thanks for zooming in, brother. Good to see you. I just had this conversation about one of the big issues with learning things is the simple...

How do you ask the question? That's the big stumbling block for me when I'm learning. I have to learn how to ask the question. Dude, I can't even Google things right. Right. And then you get good at that and that can help you. What is that thing called? What is that flap called? Okay, how do I get that flappy thing to get on the baked potato with the bubble gum? But I mean, you don't know how to ask.

And so that is a main part of learning. Yes. When you're completely bereft of any way to make an inquiry, you can't make any forward momentum. Before I ask for assistance on, say, like an online chat or help, I run through my mind, how am I going to pose this question to the expert so they understand what I'm talking about? And I sometimes have to make a couple of drafts on...

How I'm going to pose this question. But that's the only way because you can't... And then you can't...

Ask in a way that you yourself will then not get an answer you can process. Right. Because I want these guys to think I know what I'm talking about. Yeah. And so I have to do with our financial guys who are great, you know, because it's just not something my wife and I are. She's much better in many things. I'm not adept at it. I had to say them. Say to them. Say them is my way of saying it. I have to say you. I have to say them. Yeah. Silent cow. Okay.

I had to... It's a banner day for me. So I had to say to them, I will not be insulted. You can speak as babyish as you want to me. I will not be insulted. Yeah.

Dumb it. As low as you think it is, go two steps lower. Right. And then we're jibing now. Yeah. You know? Going to what Rob was saying about the mirror thing and when things are reversed, how difficult that is to, you know...

to achieve a task, there was a, my friends had this game, they brought it over where you put on these glasses and everything is, it's like flips upside down. Oh, cool. And then you have to write certain things without making mistakes. And so you're looking at your hand and you're telling your hand to draw an R, but you do it

You do it incorrectly. It's a visual voice jammer. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of like that. And if you go slowly and you really think about it, you can do it. But it's really, really hard. You know what's a lot of fun? If you can, wear those during rush hour traffic. Right on. See what happens. It's so much fun. If you practice, you can get good at it.

So maybe, but definitely people's brains are wired better for things like that. Like you can do that thing where you have to... Oh, it's a trick where you rotate one hand clockwise and the other hand counterclockwise. And he asked people to do it. This is going to be very visual. It won't work on the radio, but people go like this. You're actually doing them in the same direction that way. This is what it looks like when you go one in one direction. And I practiced it, so I can do it really well.

And then, Case, there was one I did for a little while, which was the... Oh, yeah, yeah. It was you stick your pointer finger out on your right hand and your pinky finger on your left hand, and then you switch them quickly. Right. Like this. That took practice, too. Sure. It's hard. Those are things you have to work at. Yeah. Well, it actually, after you do certain things over time, and I've learned this from playing musical instruments, is it's a path in your brainwaves. I don't know if it's...

I don't know much. I don't know nothing about the brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there is a pathway that starts to... If signals start traveling down that pathway regularly, they start to become easier. That's how they treat people who've had strokes. Yes. Or have had any sort of...

brain issues, you can create new neural pathways that help you to process things. Neural pathways. Or the pathways are there, but they've been overgrown a little bit. Think of it like a dirt road. Or a misshapen labia. You can travel down it

But the more you train that pathway, the smoother that road gets paved. Exactly. It is funny to see which neural pathways exist when you're a child, like literally hanging out with an imaginary friend and those pathways get closed over time. And then there are ways... Bing bong. Bing bong. But there are ways in which you can reopen those pathways or rewire them so that they can exist again. And some of them are like mushrooms or drugs that you might think are...

bad for you, but they can literally reopen neural pathways. And for some people, as Steve liked speaking to post-stroke victims or PTSD, it can really, really help. It can help with depression. It can help with anxiety. And it's because your brain gets so used to dealing with certain things in a certain way as an adult that

you've quite literally forgotten or shut off the way that you used to do it when you were a child. Pathways to happiness. Pathways to contentment. By the way, real quick, just to double back on something, Steve, about wording things properly. This person says, I teach research writing and always tell my students, I'm a really great Googler.

And to try to teach them how to be good at that, too. And it's a little tricky. I've gotten quite proficient at that. What you need to... By the way, it's gotten much better for the casual Googler or person you Google-y making an inquiry that way because now so many people have asked...

Yeah.

constantly, I am constantly looking stuff up for the show while we're talking about stuff. Who do you call it? Nate Bargatze has a great bit about like, and I totally identify with that because he's like, he just doesn't know how to properly ask Google what he wants to find out. He's like, what's with them skyscrapers over there? Google's like...

the freak are you talking about? No, we've all been there. All right. Well, listen, we got to take a break. Marissa, did you want to add something? Are you good? Hang on real quick. I was going to say chat GPT is like the new Google. Yeah. Yeah. And like even if you take a photo of something and you say chat GPT, where can I find this? Yeah. Yeah. It's more user friendly. And by the way, taking all of this information from Google and Bing and ask

Jeeves and all of those things. Yeah, Chad GTV is using Google as well. Yep. All right. Well, anyhow, hopefully we cleared some of that up. Thank you, guys. Thank you. You did. All right, we're going to take a quick break. Come back in a second. Comedian Brittany Brave is going to be joining us at Punchline tonight, by the way. She'll be performing. We'll be right back.

Hello. Hola. Bienvenido. Miami. That's wrong, but hello. Well, the guy who did that song is from here, so I guess it's close enough, right? Oh, well, there you go. I unintentionally was a genius. There you go. Look at you. Where are you now? Because you have to get on a plane to get here. Yes, I am in Miami, Florida. Oh, you are? Yes.

Yeah, specifically Kendall, which is the not sexy part of Miami. And I blurred my background because I am specifically in my mother's family room. I'm in my parents' home. Not to brag. I'm killing it. The punchline isn't sold out tonight. There you go. It's that good. But you wanted to, of course, follow through on your obligation and talk to us, but completely unnecessary.

Absolutely. No, absolutely. I have a crush on each and every one of you. Thank you. You're my type, by the way. I saw him pepper beards. I see a bald head like I can smell a custody battle. It's all there. Everything and more. So you're from New Jersey originally, right?

Yes, I was born in Bergen County and raised in Miami. So whichever one anyone hates less, you can identify me as being from there. Well, I've heard you say you have a love-hate relationship with Miami. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, nothing in this city is real. Yeah. All the women look like flotation devices with their implants and BBLs and lip fillers. And all the men look like characters from Grand Theft Auto. Everyone pays for everything in crypto. You ask what anyone does for a living and they just go vibes. Connecting the dots, making it happen.

And you're like, okay, that's a long-winded way of saying drug dealer. Yeah.

You know, I love it. It's warm here. The beaches are great. I always say that, like, New York is my wife and Miami is my side chick. Like, I married New York. I'm committed to living in New York. It's much more stable for me. But Miami, I pop in and out and I have fun. But once she starts talking, I'm like, I got to go. It's funny because we have a number of people who have this sort of Northeast vibe. And they'll say the same thing about going out to L.A. And this is a classic sort of, you know, sort of hack thing.

comedy thing that you'll hear all the time. People say, but it's the truth. There is a different pentameter. There's a different mindset. But you have the outlet. You have family here still, correct? Yeah, I have family in Jersey and I have family in Miami. Yeah, and often whenever I'm in the Northeast, people think I'm Jewish and then in Miami, they think Latina. And the truth is, I'm just a pain in the butt. But I'm

But no, you're 100% right. And I'll be East Coast forever. Like, I would live in Philly before I'd live in Los Angeles a thousand times over. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a different vibe. Now, mind you, you can understand why people go, you know, with the floor. Obviously, my brother calls it. I guess it's referred to as the the good weather tax earthquakes in California or the good weather tax. Florida, it's the the hurricanes. But I mean, you can see why we were just down in clear water for the Phillies and the spring training. And oh, nice. And it's friggin awesome to you know, I mean, when the weather's on point, it's perfect.

Yeah, if you have a reason to be in Clearwater, Florida, then it's great. If you're just in Clearwater, Florida otherwise, then I have concerns. But yes, brain training. Sure. Yeah, but like living a life in Clearwater, Florida, those people need help. But yeah. I want to ask you, because I was doing some research about you, and you've been working on a, I don't know if it's completed, but a documentary about the comedy scene in Miami. And you've been very candid about like getting through it

and then sort of realizing it's not what you thought it was, correct? What interview did you find? It must have been recent because every time people bring it up, I just go, oh, yeah. It's kind of the

of the bane of my existence right now but yes i started producing a docu special about miami comedy past present and future um you know what once it's completed i'll tell you i'm super proud of it and i'll be jazzed to add filmmaker to my imdb but right now i i was a little delulu as the kids say

I said, I love my comedy scene. Why isn't there more comedy in Miami? Less nightclubs, more stand up. And I want to capture it. And I'm definitely a very independent filmmaker put on one foot in front of the other. But it's in post-production, which is farther than what most films. That's an accomplishment. Let me ask you, has like, has...

like Rogan's Texas to Austin, is it right? Yeah. Has that sort of cornered or at least stolen the heat on the next big boom town for comedy? A thousand percent. It lapped us. So I feel like in the pandemic, West Coast Comics kind of migrated down to Austin, East Coast Comics, New York, and so on. Or even like Chicago kind of came down to Miami. And both of them kind of had this heat on them. Both of them were kind of like going through

Like everyone was relocating here. It was open where the rest of the country wasn't. But yeah, you know what? When you have like Joe Rogan and Tony Hinchcliffe and Tom Segura,

Heavy hitters claiming Austin. That was kind of it. Yeah, we were just talking to Brian Callen. He's made the move as well. But I remember there's a great documentary about the golden years of Boston. Boston was the place. Everyone, Colin Quinn and everybody was going to Boston. So these things flare up. But you're a traveling comedian. So as well, you know, I mean, you can make it work anywhere. Yeah.

Yeah, and Miami specifically flares up like a case of herpes. Like herpes. Right, exactly. Yeah, so you can make it work anywhere. I think I selfishly wanted to stay in Miami because my mom and dad are here and my friends are here. And I made the most out of it for three years, but I did relocate back to New York at the top.

this year or as my miami friends tell me i sold out so you know i want to switch gears completely britney because you you gesture a lot with your hands and uh you've got great looking nails by the way she does yeah i wanted to ask about those they're they're they look on natural they're not really or no i see a little bit of uh of uh paint on there oh yeah no they are not natural what's whatsoever these are fake

Excuse me, a man with that much attention to detail. No, Casey and I, Casey and I find... And using all the wrong words to describe nails. Whatever, man. Right.

You know, listen, Casey and I find women's hands attractive. The right hands. I mean, like, there's... Yes, yes. You have sexy nails. Thank you. Okay, I can't show you anymore. You got to go to my OnlyFans. We've been trying to get Kathy to put together a foot account because she would make a mate on that. Kathy, you got to get on OnlyFans. I'm so passionate about this. Every woman should have an OnlyFans. OnlyFans, I know. It's crazy, too, because you don't have to be Jenna Jameson. If you have...

popping kneecaps, go with it. There's a fetish for everything. Men are disgusting and happy there is money to be made. We could do feet and hands. Literally, I

One time I had a guy pay me $300 and he was like, can I just get a video of you eating a strawberry on camera? And I was like, yeah, my rent's due. Yes. Wow. I'm growing up. Oh, great. Like, let's go. Yeah.

Brittany, what's the story with you and Adam Wiener? I mentioned that at the top of the interview. So Adam's actually making an appearance on the show tonight. We're doing something really fun and interactive at the end of the show. I don't want to give away too much, but we are going to get the crowd involved. But many moons ago before doing stand-up, I was a music publicist. So...

I worked at Sony and Columbia Records and some agencies. And that is how Adam and I met is I repped him. I was his publicist for a couple of years. And I left that agency to start my firm. Adam was my first client. I'm a huge fan of Loca Connie. And then one of my favorite stories about Adam is we went to South by Southwest together and we peed in adjacent bushes in Austin, Texas.

because all the bathrooms were backed up and he was like, I'll face this way, you face that way. And I said, okay. And I was going through a lot and Adam fired me while we were peeing in the bushes and he said, you shouldn't do PR, you should go do comedy. Ah!

Yes, we had a long heart-to-heart while urinating in bushes in Austin, Texas. And he said, I love you to death. You're not doing your job as a publicist because I think you really want to be a jester. So I'm forever bonded to Adam and that whole band, and I adore him. And he's on the show. Well, that's better than a blood ceremony, a pee ceremony. Yeah. And by the way, so you guys are back-to-back. Did he, to make it more symmetrical, did he squat along with you, or did he just stay? He did. Okay, good for him. That's good like that. Yeah.

I don't know anybody listening has seen low cut Connie live. He's very flexible. Yeah.

More than anybody on this call. Listen, that's the height of chivalry when you hunch down next to the woman peeing in the bushes next to you. Yeah. He is so good. He came out. I mean, he's been very supportive of the show and likewise. And he came out and did a charity event for us during our food drive. And man, that guy is just as good as it gets. So do you have any musical aptitude as well if you're from that realm early on? Not at all.

Not at all whatsoever. I used to, I was a competitive dancer and I did musical theater. So, you know, that was traumatizing enough. You know, that's what kind of led, that started to pave the way towards stand-up comedy. But no, I, that's the only reason that I could actually represent musicians was because I myself have no musical aptitude. So I could represent them because I admired them.

and what they could do. And when I was working in PR, at one point I started getting assigned comedy clients. And I had done improv for years and acting, and that's when I started to become really bitter. That's when I was resentful and bitter, and I was like, I can represent musicians because I admire them and can't do what they do. I can't represent...

It was like my, I felt like my heart was getting ripped out of my chest. Yeah. If you have disdain yet, no, that makes complete sense, but not everybody can seize the moment and take a bit of salient advice and turn it, you know, and make that career pivot. Yeah. Yeah.

It was the best thing I ever did. And I mean, you can also throw in like a really bad, abusive, traumatic three-year relationship that also I have Adam to thank for kind of knocking some sense into me and reminding me of my self-worth. Wow. He's a man. She's a really good egg. He was there for some dark years for me, but all of those factors combined were

You know, I kind of uprooted my life and now I tell jokes for mozzarella sticks and drink tickets. And you know what? I've never been happier. All right, so do me a favor and some people cast aspersions on them. Defend the mozzarella stick for me because I happen to be a big fan of the mozzarella stick. Who is not a fan of a mozzarella stick?

about mozzarella sticks. No, mozzarella sticks, they're having a nice little resurgence. I was out on mozzarella sticks for a while there and then I had one at Hunt's Annex Lounge just a few weeks ago and I was like, okay, I'm back, baby. I don't know what that is, but it sounds like a strip club. Is it a strip club? It is not. No, it's just this little bar in Delco just south of Philadelphia. It should add strippers for credibility. Just right. Mozzarella sticks and strippers, you can't go wrong.

I'm saying that's my retirement plan if this comedy stuff doesn't work out. I don't know. This is news to me that mozzarella sticks were ever out. Yeah. When? And who decided this? We have Kevin Smith as a friend of the show and he was talking about he thought that was one of his clearest memories and

as a kid was being introduced by a family member to mozzarella sticks. It's like the skies parted and the light shone down on him. Yeah, well, I mean, I'm a second generation Italian Sicilian, so mozzarella sticks, like at my communion, I'm pretty sure they didn't give me the bread and wine. Instead of a Eucharist. God, you don't be better. I have an invention I just came up with right now. Have you guys ever had like a salad that has like a goat cheese medallion? Yeah. It's fried. What about goat cheese sticks?

Phenomenal, right? Yeah. Yes. You know what? I have a feeling that has to exist. It does. Just somewhere weird, woke neighborhood in Bushwick. You know it does. Maybe. They say there's a fetish for every type of porn and there's got to be some version of the mozzarella stick. A cheese stick for everyone. There's a gluten-free goat mozzarella stick available at Whole Foods, Preston. Goat mozzarella. Oh, my God. That's the most liberal thing I've heard all night.

Well, listen, Brittany, we know you actually have to catch a flight to get here. So we're going to let you get on that. But we're going to remind everybody that Brittany is going to be performing at Punchline tonight. You can go to punchlinephilly.com to get tickets. Show's at 730. Surprise performance. Not a surprise anymore, but Adam Wiener is going to be there as well. Low-cut Connie. So come out and see what it's all about. But the next time you come to town, come by and see us, okay? Bye.

I would absolutely love that, and I want to go to Hunt's at Hunt's for lounge. You got it. We'll take you out. Case will take you out for that. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Brittany. Have fun tonight. We'll see you. Brittany Briggs!

She's really sweet. She is. And funny. I like that. Excellent. All right. Speaking of, we were talking about Adam Wiener helping her out. And she called him a mansion, a really good person. I had this article that I thought would be kind of interesting to mention to you guys. It was through Upworthy.com.

And essentially, it's how to go about spotting genuinely good people. Is this your new feature, The Life Coach? The Life Coach, Preston Elliott. Nobody says there's a lot of con artists and narcissists. People use the veil of kindness when they're duplicitous and evil. And then before you know it, you're goose-stepping. Yep.

And it says, it's not always clear, especially at first, but there are some subtle indicators that a person's virtues are real and sincere. And it's an interesting list. And some of these are going to go, yeah, of course. There's one at the end that is, I want to see what you guys think about it. Okay, because the ones that you, they're the obvious ones, and I'm sure we'll get through those. But there are little subtleties. There's things that I pick up that I think are...

I use as a metric to determine if someone is a legitimate good person. Yeah, so these are according to this article. People had contributed to this conversation and shared the telltale signs that tell them a person is genuinely good. So there are quotes from the people that have said that this is what they look for. So first one on the list is they can admit weakness easily.

And apologize. Yes. I would like to apologize. Absolutely. This guy was clearly very, very kind. I apologize. I'd like to apologize. Oh. I apologize. I'd like to apologize. You just kept doing it over and over. And actually, I would like to apologize. Was I supposed to do this first? Yeah, but we'll do it later. Are you sure? Do it now. He admits his mistake. Yeah, I'm going to admit my mistake and do this now. Well, say you're sorry. I'm sorry. Right. All right. I apologize.

charged. A full retraction of all of my former statements that were uttered completely with malice and I now retrieve those words into my butthole. Are you doing a little bit of a fish called? I am trying to remember. I only remembered malice and full retraction. Sorry. That's one of my favorite apologies ever in a movie. I don't know. I was just thinking it wasn't genuine so you're probably not nice. Wow. Wow.

What? It wasn't. You were reciting a movie line. No, I am sorry. I'm sorry to Marissa because she went to great lengths to get this set up. Someone's hand flows in town.

So we have a winner for our President Steve 20 money. Yes. And... We can be a good friend to this person. I'm going to announce who it is and then we are going to quote cold call them and put them on the air and congratulate them. There are all sorts of legal ramifications. Yeah, right? So we're going to congratulate our $1,000 winner,

Thomas from Franklinville, New Jersey. Or is it Thomas Franklinville from New Jersey? No, it's Thomas from Franklinville, New Jersey. Hey! Hi. So, is this coming up on the Zoom pot or the phone pot? Phone pot. No, it won't. No, it won't. I'll guarantee. Right here? Yeah, right there. Okay. All right, am I dialing it now? Okay, here we go. Let's see if it happens. I don't hear anything. Oh, my God. Hang on, let me get the phone. Yeah, get the phone. Hurry up.

We'll see if he answers. Hello. Hi, is this Thomas? It is. Thomas, it's Preston Alley from WMMR. Can we put you live on the radio? Sure you can. Because you just won $1,000, brother! How about that, my man? I mean, I know you already know this, but we just wanted to call personally and congratulate you for being our $1,000 winner. And thank you for listening to MMR, man.

Thank you. I've been trying for years. You finally won! Listen, look, persistency pays off, so we're going to not only give you that, but have you ever been to the MMRBQ before? I actually have not. How about that? It's a twofer! We're going to give you a pair of tickets to the MMRBQ on top of that, Thomas. Thomas, what's your full name, by the way? Because I have you written as Thomas Franklinville.

Well, I live in Franklinville. My name is Tom Hall, H-A-L-L. Tom Hall. All right, and what do you do, Tom? What's work for you? You don't have to say if you don't want to. It's okay. I deal in narcotics. Yes, a lot of narcotics. All right, fair enough. All right, Tom Hall, congratulations, buddy. Thank you for listening to MMR, and you get $1,000, all right?

Thank you. All right, buddy. Congratulations. Thomas. Hey. Tom Hall, now known as Thomas Franklinville. Congratulations to you, sir. Now we can be in a promo. That was really weird. That was a phone line that sounded like a Zoom audio. And yeah. Yeah, that's a state-of-the-art phone line there. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, anyway. So back to the good people list. Back to the good people list. I apologize for the. I apologize.

For the break in there. So, yes, people, good people can admit weakness and apologize. Listen, I have learned over the years that

how to look back at things that I believed or whatever, that things that I've done and say I was wrong. It is hard to get to that point, but it is also, my experience has been, it's been very liberating. Absolutely. That's the thing about it. Yes. Is if you, once you admit, you either made a mistake or you just didn't know, you know, and you can admit you were incorrect, you were wrong. It means so much to that other person that maybe had, you know,

It may have upset someone that you're apologizing for a reason. You're sorry for something. And it holds weight. And it's so important. So here's the quote from this person says they hold themselves accountable for their actions. They apologize and try to make amends are willing to learn from their mistakes and misconceptions. That part, that's part of it, too. If you apologize, hopefully you have learned something from that as well. That gets hard as well. But you can. Yeah, you can do it. Yeah.

All right, here is another one, another indicator of a genuinely good person. They do the right thing when it's not convenient.

So this quote says, it's easy to be a good person when things are easy. A true good person will remain good when they are angry or scared, etc. If your morals evaporate under stress, you don't actually have morals. That's, yeah. Well, that comes, you're doing it for show, less for show. I need a scenario for this. Well, when you... Okay, so you may...

Something may be an inconvenience for you, but you turn it into a convenience for someone else. Let's say that... Yeah, you're okay being inconvenienced to help someone else. Yeah, exactly. And there are levels of that. I mean, there can be something that's...

life-changing inconvenient, and you've really, really gone above and beyond to help that person out that needed help. Or it could be just like, hey, I really wanted to go to this concert, but man, they're a much bigger fan. I'm going to give my ticket to them. It could also be the person amongst a group of people who are going along with what a consensus seems to be, and you say, no, this is not right. This is not fair. Good point. I would think that the same general...

would apply to somebody who is generous when they don't have money. You know, people who are able to give when they really can't afford to do so. And I had some friends growing up, especially in college, who were enormously generous and I knew that they couldn't afford it. And I found out afterwards that

And I was just like, man. But that, to me, is the indication of a truly generous person because they weren't doing it because they were rich. One of the greatest gifts I felt in my life is when I did not have a lot of money, I gave people the chance to feel good about themselves and I would take money from them. So they would feel generous. You're giving in a way. Here's an example for you. I'm sorry to interrupt, Casey. Steve Wilson. Yeah. Wilson's Secret Sauce. That guy. There's a hurricane.

Steve loads up the truck and goes. Yeah. And takes food to people. Feeds the people and then. For free. Yeah. It's costing him money. Yep. That's inconvenient. That's why he boosts the prices. But Nick, what you're talking about, I mean, it's a classic parable in the Bible. You know, the. What would Steve Wilson do? What would Steve Wilson do?

No. WWSW. No, they had two different people that gave money to the church, to the temple or whatever. And one of them gave more than the other person, but they had more. And then the person that didn't have as much, didn't give as much, but gave proportionally way more. And that was, I believe, a lesson from Jesus Christ himself. I think so. Yeah. Jesus Christ himself. Yeah.

Hi, everybody. My name is Jesus Christ. Thank you for signing up for my class. That was my favorite stand-up of his, was Jesus Christ himself. God damn it. But I'm damn it. Love that bread. Jesus Christ. Daddy loves to eat that bread. Daddy's great. Walking on water tonight. Drink this in my memory.

So the quote is, it's easy to be a good person when things are easy. A true good person will remain good when they're angry or scared. Like I said, if your morals evaporate under stress, you don't actually have morals. Here's another one. They are kind when they don't have to be. It's a similar example. It's a nuance. They're polite to people they have authority over is an example of that. This I hold in high regard.

esteem, for lack of a better phrasing, when you're with someone, and I, when I see someone mistreat people in the service industry or people who are, you know, are doing any kind of service or that they perceive as being less than,

This is one thing my dad imparted to me for years. Again, it's right out of The Great Gatsby. Nick Carraway in the beginning of the book says, his father says, never mistreat people because you don't know what their situations are. And so that's it. And when I see someone beat up on someone just because it gives them a charge,

you know, gives them a thrill because they think they're in a higher station. It's a reprehensible thing. And here's another example. Someone says kind leaders are everything in reference to people who are kind when they don't have to be. Yeah. If you're a leader, if you're a boss, I mean, you can be a jerk if you want to. And the people that

that are kind and are considerate and take the, you know, the people that are under their management, you know, take their feelings in the case of them. Yeah, we had Fran Dunphy in here yesterday. Great guy. You know who's a... Worldly known. Worldly known, yeah. I would say great guy, Fran Dunphy. You know who's great at being kind unsolicited is Bert Kreischer. Bert could be

be a jerk or have a huge ego or whatever. And we've had a lot of public time with Bert. Some of us have had some private time with Bert and that dude doesn't throw anybody under the bus. He doesn't talk ill of other comedians. And I spent some time with him at a Flyers game last year.

I think Bert is a really good, decent person. And you know what? I'll highlight this. I think we're all good people here, but I think Casey is the best of us when it comes to stuff like that. No. It's Kathy. Gotta be.

When you think people person. I honestly, I think I see Casey do acts of goodness regularly. Yeah. Unsolicited and just because that person needs to feel good and I'm going to do it. And that's what he does. It might be that I'm actually a garbage human being and I'm just trying to make up for it. Make up for the crap that you are. Oh. Yeah. Oh, okay. So like the people you're killing and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You offset it. So when I'm at the pearly gates and I'm like...

Please let me in. I know that I killed all those people, but I was really nice to this custodian at the office. It's guilt. It's like being, you know, the Kathy guilt, you know, which I've, but I mean, I'm always, there's a perception of I always have to make up for something that in some way I've screwed something up. And so I have to do these things. But it's still, like we talk about this when you're going into a staircase and there's somebody outside and they're asking for some money. It's like, well, I don't,

You know, it's like I long ago reconciled myself to the fact that I'm going to give it with the best intentions. Whatever you do with this money. I can't change that. But at least I will try. I think my sort of bottom line is that I don't want to be. You want a handjob for it. Well, that too. But I don't want to be the reason for somebody's bad day. Yeah. No, no, no. That's the worst thing. When they get home and they sit on the couch and go, man, that freaking guy. You know, I want to be that freaking guy.

All right. So, yes, they said they're polite to people. They have authority over, I said. They treat people that cannot do anything for them very well as well. So that's part of being kind when you don't have to. What is it about being behind the wheel of a car that changes all of that?

Anonymity. Anonymity, exactly, with a certain bit of power. You have a motor vehicle wrapped around you. There was a great... Protection. There was a great Instagram account I saw the other day, and it's people walking as if they were in their car. Oh, yeah. So the guy's walking along, and this gal just walks in front of him on the sidewalk. He's just like, hey, hey, hey.

Hey! Hey! It's really funny. Oh, that's funny. And then another guy's just trying to walk past him, and he speeds up his gait. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let him pass. It's very, very funny. All right, here's another indicator of a truly good person, according to the people that answered the question, what makes a really good person a genuinely good person. They speak well of others when they're not around to hear it, meaning complimenting behind their back.

Or someone says defending someone when someone is gossiping behind their back. Yeah, that's something I need to work on. I don't like that I gossip, but I do. Gossip, unfortunately, is so much fun. It's so good, right? Especially when you get nice... When Rochelle says, I got some dirt today, I'm like, ooh. What is that?

I heard on the radio today about this guy who can't go on a trip because of his ramp. That's me. I got a message from one of my friends last night through Instagram when I woke up this morning. I saw it and she's like, when you get gossip at 1 a.m. but your best friend goes to bed at 9.30. Yeah. So apparently I have to call her after work. Yeah, you do.

So, yeah, it says defending someone else who is gossiping behind their back is an indicator of a good person. I'll tell you also, I mean, as much as I never, I don't care about what people might say about me. I mean, I try to keep my affairs pretty clean, so I don't, I mean, to me it would be water off a duck's back. Yeah, what I've heard and I try to subscribe to is what people say about me behind my back is none of my business.

Yeah. So I got, yeah. Well, yeah, there's nothing you can do about that. I do. And it's a, it's a character flaw, but, but when people are negative or I see or read or hear something negative about me, I don't like it. Yeah. I don't, I don't have to like it. No, but I, but it's hard to, like you said, just let it roll off and just it's in the ether. No, not me. And I, and I talked to a therapist about it too. You know, I'm, I'm like,

I know that this shouldn't bother me. That person, whoever that person is, that more than likely, I don't know them. They are never going to affect me directly. I will not encounter them again. It should not matter at all. It's some type of impression. I completely understand that. You know where I developed that ability? Stand up. You have to. You're being judged constantly. Yeah. And when you spend years, it's like, all right.

This one didn't work. I'll move on to the next one. The thing that I try to hold in the back of my mind is something that Ellen DeGeneres said, which is people don't think about you as often as you think they think about you. Right. And most of the time, people are just in their own head, and most of the time, they're in their own head about themselves. Oh, it's the easiest mistake to make. It's like, oh, my God, they're going to notice this blemish.

You could go into the room with your head blown off and blood squirting out of a hose they wouldn't even notice. So you're like, you know. Yeah, that's worrying about what other people think about you. But if someone does say, react, something tangible, then you're like, why'd you do that? Now I feel lousy, you know? Yeah, most people point out their own flaws. And if you just never mentioned it, most people around you wouldn't notice it. Yeah.

All right, there's another indicator. They are selflessly and anonymously kind. What about hopelessly devoted to you? Of course. And now, and there's no way out. Cause you're too blind, love is sad. Out of my head. Hopelessly devoted to you. Devoted to you. Wow.

Please stop. There's this girl. I read one lesson. There's this girl. We're down to three listeners. That I follow on Instagram. Her name is Allie Sherlock. She's Irish and she has the most beautiful voice. She's just a singer guitarist. And there's a video of her when she's like 12 years old singing that song. Just killing it.

Yeah. It's amazing. She was supposed to come here. She was supposed to come here, actually... It got canceled. Tomorrow. Yeah, no. And I'm like, yeah, of course, I'm going on a golf... And then, of course, Kathy, I'm like, oh, I'm going on a golf trip. Then I'm like, oh, I can go see her now. I'm going to be in town. And then she canceled show. I forgot what happened, but anyhow. She found out your golf trip was canceled. Yes! Why did I ever put that out there? God damn it. Now he can be there. Cancel it. No, she's really good. All right, so...

They are selflessly and anonymously kind. They do good things for others without expecting something in return. And they also say they do something kind without telling anyone else about it. That's one thing that I'm... Again, this is not to pat myself on the back, but that was something that was passed on from my parents. It's in those moments where no one's looking that matter. It's when you're doing it for the adulation. And so I try to abide by that. Okay.

Here's another indicator, and I wholeheartedly agree with this, that genuinely good people include those who might feel left out. So they fill you in, they include you in an existing conversation. Here, we have some gossip we'd like to share. Yes. It's about you, but get in here. Get in here. You got to hear it. I just want you to confirm or deny. Do you have a misshapen labia? It says they are the...

There's context to that comment in case you just tuned in. Yes. And potato and chewing gum. Scroll back on the YouTube from earlier today and that will make more sense. No, a commenter says that they are the one in the group who stops and waits for you while you tie your shoe and they hold the door as the rest of the group keeps moving.

Um, Rochelle is one who is that way, including those who might feel left out, but making an effort to find that person and go, Hey, why don't you come over here and join us? Or, you know, that type of thing. It's nice to do that. You know, you want to be things that I've, I've come, uh, been come to notice things that I am appreciating more these days are, um,

Yeah. Empathy is... That is something that is a great attribute, the empathetic person. I agree. And then the last one, and this is the one I wanted you to hold on for. Okay, hold on loosely. Indicator of a truly, genuinely good person is they return shopping carts. Stop it, really? That's on there. That's on the list? That is on this list. I do. And I'm not saying it again. I know the...

You're going to want to send me money and applaud me and build a statue for me. Because I think of the people that have to do it. I mean, listen, there are people whose job it is to do that. But at the very, very least, put it in the car corral. I've seen people where those people are right there. And you could just push it towards them and just say, here you go. And they just push it. I think it's fun to take it back.

I enjoy taking it back. And then you can aim for the cart. Yeah, you shoot it. Two things. Aim and force. Can you get it to connect all the way in? That's a game. You know what I will do quite often, if I have the time that is, is if I get to the cart corral and the carts are all like wonky in there, I'll fix all of them. I arrange them. I was doing it the other day, KS.

My son was a cart guy for two years. During COVID. At the giant grocery store. And it's a crap job. Yeah. My son's doing a job. Why do they...

it's how big they make the slot for them. Like if they made it the size of the cart, then it wouldn't do that. Why do they make them so big? A lot of them have two sizes now. Yeah. So you have the, I'm just picking up some things and then you have them shopping for the area. And if like you have kids, sometimes it's wider with the net. Yep, yep, yep. So there are different kinds. But I will, if I, so there's a little rule my dad taught me in golf and this is when you go up to the green, you fix your ball mark. You take this little tool and you fix it.

you fix your ball mark and you fix another ball mark that you find out there. Just try to do something. Okay. A little thing. So I have the same thing with the shopping carts. If I'm returning my shopping cart and I see a stray, I'll grab it too and take it to the cart. When I'm going to a stadium event and I'm going in...

I will pay for everyone. Oh, that's really sweet. No, you know what? You can't do it anymore. But what I used to do was when you would pay for parking and you'd get a ticket and it didn't have your, the make your car and your license plate and all that on it would just have a time. Like if I was going by and someone's expired or they didn't have one and I had time left

on mine. You'd give it to them? I'd stick it with the person who parked in front of me or behind me or whatever just to extend their time so they didn't get a ticket. That's pretty cool. They can't do it anymore with all the parking meters. Do you do the thing, Kathy, where if the cash register is open at a place and the woman turns around, you take some money and give it to other people? I usually just take it home and give it to my family, but yeah. Hmm.

Hey, money was in this drawer. The only time that I don't have an issue with a cart still being there is if it's in a handicap area. Because you know that maybe that person has a mobility issue. And so the last few times I've been in the grocery store, I've seen a cart sitting there. I'm like, damn it. But I see that it's right there in the handicap parking. So I'm like, okay, I'll take this back. Are you handicapped? Yeah. I don't disagree with anything you're saying about the shopping carts. I just don't.

don't find that it needs to be on this list. I think it's so... I'll read this. A couple of the comments. Returning your shopping cart. There are no laws that say that you have to and there's no rewards for doing it either. It's purely an act of selflessness...

To benefit the people who have to work at the store and take care of parking lots and carts. Another one says, are these diehard rules for what makes us a good person? No. Are there other things that could be added to this list? Yes. Can we animals always tell if a person is good? Maybe. Or is this the summary of this whole thing? The hell is this? The hell is this? The hell is this goddamn thing? Can I ask a question? Yeah.

If you're at a store and you pick up a shirt or a pair of pants or something you want to see, do you fold it before you put it back? I try to as best I can. It doesn't look as good as the retail person does it. Because they're using a board to fold it anyway, probably. But yeah, I was wondering because...

Yeah. The same thing. You know what else I'll do? If I'm in the grocery store and realize I don't need something that I picked up, I will actually go back to the place where I got that and put it back from whence it came. I mean, you'll eat a little bit of it. Every now and then, you'll be sitting in the register aisle and on top of the Reese's peanut butter cup are some tampons or something like that. Yeah.

or eggs or whatever. These are delicious. And they come with a string. I felt so bad the other day. I was at Acme right outside of Avalon and I was getting coffee creamer and the girl working, she was stocking the shelves and everything was so nice and perfect.

And I came and I took the coffee creamer and it completely ruined the aesthetics. I was like, I'm really sorry, but I need this coffee creamer. She's like, you ruined it. You know, we're just kind of like messing around. But I'm not playing around. I think you're a jerk off. But this is like, listen, you know...

There's somebody who poops in the fourth floor bathroom down the hall who constantly leaves the ass gasket on the toilet seat. What is that about? This is the same thing. What is that about that is just completely inconsiderate? Can I not know? You guys complain about this all the time. Here's what I will say because you know how I am. I actually will see that. That doesn't...

I mean, I'm not going to sit on it. I put my foot up there and I push it down. I think what happens with ours because they're automatic toilet flushes.

flushers, when somebody gets up, they're not turning around to see what has gone down. What are you, Jesse Owens-ing it out of the stall? What do you think? It automatically sucks it down? Yeah, most times it does. Because the center will touch the water and then when it flushes, it goes down. This person is doing it with toilet paper. They're ass-gasking with toilet paper, not the actual thing that you're talking about. I've seen the full ass-gasket not get sucked down and just sit there. Absolutely.

It does sometimes. My point is I don't think they're purposely leaving it there. I don't know. If it's toilet paper, maybe you should check. What I do is I turn around. I don't want to leave a pube on the toilet seat. You want to collect those. We might have a contest somewhere down the road where somebody has to eat it. We have. We have. We have.

Genesis tickets, guys. Important stuff. But I just don't want to leave a mess for somebody else. It's a public restroom. Yes. Anything. If I stand up and I drop a pee-pee, I will...

clean it off with the toilet. It's what you do. It's what you do. Yeah. All right. Well, we do need to take a break, but these are some interesting... This is from upworthy.com is where I got that. Just try to be a good person. Genuinely good people. How to maybe tell. And then the last one, the shopping cart thing, is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, I think, but can be an indicator. All right.

We need a break because we've got another $1,000 to give away. And we will do that within the next 12 minutes. Let's take a quick break. Come back in a second. Bizarre File Stories. And, yes, Preston and Steve, 20 Money on the way next.

And then $9.99 Primo Hoagies all day long. And that's for Primo's perks members only, by the way. All right, so it's a terrible story with a weird twist to it. The parents of a four-year-old boy who found a gun at home.

shot himself and they were arrested on Monday. So Cassandra Lynn Lutz and Alexander Andrew Corey are charged with first degree assault. The pair also faced multiple charges of cruelty to animals and failure to bury livestock after authorities found roughly 30 snakes, six of them dead and a crocodile inside of the house. So the kid found a gun, shot himself. Yeah. And then when they came to the house, they...

they arrested them for cruelty to snakes and a crocodile. That's part of it as well. So yeah, they're, they're also, and your kid shot himself. Well, they're charged with first degree assault for that. And the kid is alive, fortunately, but it began, uh, after sheriff's deputies were dispatched Friday morning, uh, where they learned the child was critically injured with a gunshot wound to the right knee and right arm. Uh, he had been driven there by a private vehicle. They went to the hospital, uh,

and then airlifted to Children's Hospital of Alabama in Birmingham. The shooting happened at the family's home. A search turned up drugs and multiple unsecured guns inside the house, as well as the animals. The cruelty of the animal charge, uh, charges allege that the snakes were subjected to cruel treatment by

being kept in unsanitary conditions, causing six of them to die. Some of the living snakes were being held in containers with dead and decomposing snakes. And the Department of Human Resources were called to the scene and removed the other children from the home. And Fish and Game officers responded because of the crocodile.

And snakes. Oh, yeah, the crocodile. Yeah, they had to grab that guy, too. So it's just very, very weird. Honey, keep the kid away from the crocodile, would you? Much lighter story. The U.S. Coast Guard located a boat from New Haven called the Hot Chocolate on Tuesday after it failed to reach its destination in North Carolina.

The boat carrying three people departed from New Haven en route to Ocracoke, North Carolina. Were they dancing on it? Dancing on hot chocolate? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. They should have been. And had been operating off the continental shelf. The vessel was reported disabled 46 miles south of Fire Island. Here with White Room. Here with White Room. Never, ever, never.

A good Samaritan spotted the boat and alerted the authorities. Coast Guard responded. Nobody was injured, but they were looking for hot chocolate and they found it in Missouri. All right. Here's here's another messed up story with a weird twist to it. A woman is facing multiple charges after police said she assaulted and abandoned a teenage girl for whom she was supposed to be carrying. Browns.

Brenda Ruth Deutsch was charged with two counts of abuse or neglect of a child. Now, police said an investigation started November 21st when Deutsch requested to take the victim to Deutsch's friend in Texas. Police got involved in the investigation after social services got an anonymous tip alleging mental and physical abuse of the victim.

Deutsche arranged for the girl to go to Texas to stay with her friend, with Deutsche's friend, where a witness told police that she was left alone in a house with exotic animals and dirty conditions. Any crocodiles? No, but listen to this. The girl told investigators that Deutsche told her friend that they could keep the girl

But Deutsch would be keeping the check. Investigators said that the woman has fostered more than 200 children over the years. Oh, that's troubling. And she also collects exotic animals. And they're investigating allegations that she traded the girl in exchange for a monkey. For a monkey. Yes.

Considering how many children Deutsch has fostered, there is a chance that these won't be the only charges filed. Traded a human for a monkey. Yeah. The girl was eventually brought to Child Protective Services in Texas. Listen, I'm a monkey. I wouldn't even make that deal. They've already had multiple people step forward about other potential victims. 200 kids. Yeah. Dear God. It's crazy. All right. We need... Something peppy. Something better. Oh, yeah. How about this? I mean, this is...

Still an idiot involved here, but a Georgia man...

was trying to report a possible break-in at his home and called 911, but the dispatcher who took the call was apparently distracted by a McDonald's order at the time. A local CBS affiliate there conducted an investigation into possible issues at the 911 call center in Georgia's Chatham County. And according to the report, thousands of calls ended up being abandoned by the callers every month due to lack of responsiveness by dispatchers. But in the case of one caller,

The dispatcher picked up while she was seemingly dividing her attention between a frightened citizen and her breakfast order.

So Dylan Johnson shared his experience with the dispatcher, and he had made his call when his wife was home and thought she heard someone trying to break into the home. He said, my wife called. It was about 930 in the morning. Said someone was snooping around the house, knocking on the doors, banging on the windows and stuff. I was panicking. She was home alone with my five-month-old daughter. I was coming home not knowing what I was going home to. I'm sorry, your last name's McMuffin? After calling, well, it's kind of like that, Steve. After calling the county's non-emergency line, he tried 911 three times.

And someone, three times they didn't pick up. Three times for 911. No answer. Yeah. When someone finally picked up for his call for help, the dispatcher can be heard talking to other people and apparently placing a breakfast order saying, uh-huh, McGriddle, uh-huh. Come on! 911 is the call that's supposed to go through. She then turned back to Johnson on the 911 call and says, I'm sorry, what?

Whoa. I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'm just very peckish. Police responded to Johnson. All right, man in the house with a gun. Got it. Police responded to Johnson's home. By that time, the alleged trespasser was gone. His family was shaken up but safe. The incident is under review. Let me ask you again. Just one second. What was that? As you might imagine. And that is what I have. Yeah.

Now,

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast.

We'll smash some pumpkins on 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks today. 16 minutes after 10, Preston and Steve show. Weather for today is kind of like this. It's going to be cloudy. High of about 53 degrees. Tomorrow, we've got a couple of ugly days ahead of us. We've had some ugly days. I don't like it. We've got a few more on the way. But tomorrow, for Friday, calling for rain.

I have about 48 degrees. And then Saturday, calling for showers.

I have 45. What's the difference between rain and showers? Are showers heavier? No. Oh. I would think showers are heavier. I would think showers are heavier than rain. Showers are more intermittent, and I believe rain is consistent. I would think, like, yeah, like, showers are, like, lighter. No? All right. You look so happy. Yeah, because I'm lighter. Lighter. It's not that bad. It's showers. It's like a volcanic eruption. All right, here we go. Nick found it. He Googled it, which is what he does.

We found out this morning. Rain is typically a broader, more sustained form of precipitation while showers are shorter, more localized. Nailed it. Steve, it's exactly it. And characterized by abrupt starts and stops and rapid changes in intensity, often coming out of cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds. So...

Looks like steady rain tomorrow then. High of about 48 degrees and then showers, so intermittent. So the term really... On Saturday. Sunday, right? Sunday is high 61 and cloudy. And then Monday's great, 71 degrees and partly cloudy. Woof. Yeah. All right. Then we're off next week, so that's going to be okay. And Easter. A lot of people are taking the week off. Is next week a spring break? Spring break, yeah. For a lot of schools, yeah.

All right. Lesson question time. And we are going to give away a four-pack of tickets for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field. Here's a question for you. I'm going to change this up a little bit, Nick. All right. All right. So a misshapen labia looks like what, according to Casey? Got it. All right.

If you know, here's what you have to do. You got to text the word. What happened to my thing? Where is it? Oh, I'm sorry. Here we go. Never mind. I see it. It's all good. Text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333. We will send you today's link. Then you click on that link if you know the answer. And then we'll pop you up when you're ready to go. It takes a little more time to do this than it would be through the regular phone call thing that we used to do.

But let's see if you know what Casey thought a misshapen labia looks like. Take Zoom 610-660-9333 and we'll do the trash while you're getting set for that. The trash business is a goldmine. 93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. Brought to you by Rita's. Introducing Rita's new skillets. Skittles. Ice. Ice.

Try it in a gelati or ice blender and add Rita's new Skittles popped toppings for extra fun. And be cool, go to Rita's. Steve, what's going on this morning? Well, the sometimes incoherent Terrence Howard claiming Diddy tried to have sex with him after asking for an acting lesson. Howard says he had suggested working on the Royale with Cheese scene from Pulp Fiction, while Diddy suggested the God Damn That Hurts scene from Ass Master 7. Wow. Oh, my.

The Hawk to a Girl, Hayley Welch. Yes, she'll be making a cameo in the Glenn Powell series, Chad Powers. Since the Hawk to a Thing is pretty much past, since the filming of the episode, Welch will appear as uncredited extra. Yeah. Woo!

And finally, rapper Boozy Badass, we all love Boozy Badass, says he was banged up in a serious car collision in Atlanta last week. Boozy Badass says despite what people are thinking, his car was being driven by another rapper named T-Totaling Youth Pastor. All right, thank you, Steve. We might have somebody ready to go right about now. So the question that we asked this morning is...

What did Casey think a misshapen labia looked like? And we will go to our Zoomer. It's Brian. Hey, Brian. How you doing, man? Good. How you guys doing? Wonderful. All right. Do you recall what Casey thought a misshapen labia looked like? I do. It's a cute piece of bubble gum on a baked potato. Yes, that's correct. Oh, my gosh.

So I mentioned this in entertainment news earlier this morning, but Jillian Schreiner, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Schreiner, was actually shot by police. It's crazy. Subsequently charged with attempted murder following an incident in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. On Tuesday, officers were searching...

for suspects involved in a nearby hit-and-run in the neighborhood, and they just came across her, Jillian, outside her home, allegedly armed with a handgun. Despite repeated commands to drop the weapon, she reportedly pointed it at officers, prompting them to open fire and strike her in the shoulder. Now, it's possible she was hearing all the hubbub and thought something was going on, so she grabbed her pistol. However, when a police officer...

is there and says, drop the gun. You drop the gun. Yeah, we'll see what she has to say about it. She retreated into the residence but later emerged with the family's babysitter and surrendered.

She was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and booked for attempted murder. Authorities confirmed that she was not connected to the initial hit-and-run incident. It was a very strange thing. Library of Commerce announced National Recording Registry honorees. They announced the 2025 selections for the National Recording Registry. Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album. The cast recording of Hamilton.

The Microsoft Windows Reboot Chime. Ah, yeah. And Minecraft Volume Alpha are on the list. Also making the cut are Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, a brilliant album, by the way. Tracy Chapman's 1988 debut album. Celine Dion's 1997 single My Heart Will Go On from Titanic, of course. And Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' classic Havoc.

Happy Trails. Wow. There are also, Steve, there's a few on here that just you and I will know. Kiss an Angel, Good Morning by Charlie Pryde. Yes. I Am Woman by Helen Reddy. I think we all know that. How about this one, Steve? Before the Next Teardrop Falls. Yes. From Freddie Fender. Absolutely. Fly Like an Eagle from Steve Miller Band. My Life from Mary J. Blige. Hello, Dummy from Don Rickles, the album. Oh, wow. Wow.

I remember that album. The Chicago Transit Authority album from Chicago that came out in 1969 and Bitches Brew from Miles Davis. So they have added those to the registry. I love that the Microsoft sound makes it in. Yeah, the chime. It all makes sense.

If you can't head to the California desert this weekend for Coachella, it's all right. You're going to be able to enjoy the festival from the comfort of your home. The event announced that it will once again live stream performances on YouTube starting tomorrow, actually. So is it so there will be like a general Coachella channel or do you have to pay to stream it?

That I don't know, Steve. This year's live stream will let fans watch up to four stages at one time. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Travis Scott, Post Malone, and Charlie XCX are all set to perform at the festival. Coachella will also live stream the festival's second weekend, April 18th through the 20th, on YouTube.

With less than two weeks left to vote, the top seven on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fans ballot remains unchanged. The top seven after voting ends on April 21st will be on a ballot that's included with all of the members' ballots. And because of the number of total ballots, there's no guarantee that the nominees will make it to the fans ballot will be inducted.

Fish continues to hold a commanding lead. That's got to be good news, Casey. Well, yeah, but also I also read that the committee members or whatever aren't too happy about that. I think there's a couple of people who have been vocal about it. I don't think it's like everybody. Listen, I wholeheartedly believe that they belong there. What they've done over the last 40 years. Many agree with you. But on

on the other side, like Bad Company is in there. They've been around a lot longer. Yeah. And they've had some big hits. Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden Joe Cocker, and Philadelphia's own Chubby Checker are all there. They all deserve to be in. They,

all will eventually be in, I think. You'd like to see them when they're alive. That's why I would like to see Chubby Checker get in. I mean, he is going to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day. It will be nice if he is in while he is able to experience it. He goes in by his stage name. He won't go in by his actual name of Chubbins, right? Chubbins. Yeah.

Patty Smith has announced a new memoir, Bread of Angels, set to release on November 4th. The book explores her childhood in working-class Philadelphia and South Jersey. Which, by the way, I did not know that Patty Smith was from Philly. Neither did I. Her marriage to Fred Smith of MC5, their family life in Michigan, and more. And it took a decade to write this book, she said, grappling with the beauty and sorrow of a lifetime. I'm hoping that people will find something they need.

The release date is meaningful, falling on both Fred Smith's death anniversary and the birthday of her late friend and famed photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Mapplethorpe. Mapplethorpe, thank you. The artist's publisher, Random House, describes the memoir as the most intimate of Smith's memoirs, chronicling her teenage years, motherhood, and returning to writing. How did I not know about the Philly thing? Didn't know either.

So we had mentioned the Metallica takeover coming up. Details at WMMR.com. And one of the things that was mentioned is the screening of Metallica Saved My Life.

We had one guest on the show today, and I would like to thank very lovely Brittany Bray. Yes! She's going to be performing at Punchline tonight, and we had never met her. She's a friend of Adam Wiener's, of Low Cut Connie, and...

She was just really cool and funny and nice and loved it. Yeah, we'll get her in the studio sometime. Yeah, she invited us all to the show tonight. Unfortunately, I have to coach volleyball, so I can't make it. But after talking to her today, I was like, yeah, definitely want to check her out. You're not going to do the volleyball. You're going to go out and see the show. And Adam Wiener is actually going to be at the show, she said, doing something. Something. Some kind of finale that's going to happen. So if you're a low-cut Connie fan, you can go to that.

And we gave away some money and we talked about some cool stuff. And we mentioned this thing we're going to do tomorrow, the most talented kid in the car contest. And so when we've been Zooming with people in their cars, sometimes there's a

kid that they're taking to school sitting in the back seat. So we're like, all right, let's take them out for a spin. See if they can wow us with some type of talent. Yes. Anything goes, by the way. So we'll see if we get any takers tomorrow around 7.15. We're going to try that out. And it's kids fifth grade or younger that we're going to go for. And we do have some point cards for Arnold's Family Fun Center to give away for the most talented. Yeah, which is awesome. So we'll try that out. All right. We need to do the letter of the day. The letter of the day.

Wait a minute. I brought up... Oh, never mind. He's here. He's here. I need to turn up fader number three, not fader number two, and that's why you heard. Yeah.

That, when I did that. So, Pierre is indeed in the studio. We're just going to get right to it. Here we go. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter.

Two different sets performing in the round with different openers each night. Pierre, I like your Keith Haring shirt. That's really cool. Oh, thank you. Yeah, that's really good. Yeah, it's a Keith Haring DJ. It's a DJ dog. Yeah, his stick figure kind of...

one of these creatures kind of like a dog spinning records and it says DJ I like that they had an exhibit of his work at the Whitney Museum in New York and I meant to go to it but a friend of mine went and took a picture of his high school binder he grew up somewhere in central Pennsylvania yeah it was out near like Kutztown I want to say yes I think that's right

And on the side of his binder is an MMR bumper sticker. Oh, cool. Yeah. It was one of those fluorescent green and orange ones. So I read one time in that house that he lived in, and like I said, I think it was Kutztown, and he was born in Redding, it says, but he had like doodled something on the wall.

And, you know, I don't think his parents own the home. No. Obviously, you know, they passed, I guess. But whoever bought the house has left it there, and it's still there. That's cool. Yeah, isn't that great? That's great. There's a, of the great murals that we have in the city, he did a house somewhere down in South Philly that is still there. Oh, cool. I don't know exactly where, but it's in the mural book. Oh, cool.

The mural arch program in this city is stupendous. It is amazing. It's one of the best in the world, really. People come from other cities to study how good the people here have done it. But there is one with him, with his work, on a small row home somewhere in South Philly. So it's cool. That is cool, man. All right, what you got going on today, man? We'll have workforce blocks of Led Zeppelin, stray cats for Brian Setzer's birthday, and a block of the Killers, and more tickets for Slayer. Oh.
