Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. I think you're sleeping. I was keeping you one towel. Towels need sleepy. I'll

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

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

Oh my goodness. Good day, dear friend, and welcome to the land of no sad bro. Except the weather sucks. And I mean, it's just a lousy day today. It's a lousy day tomorrow. We're going to get better after this.

We'll be right back.

The temperatures are agreeing there. Monday's the best day, partly cloudy, high of about 70, and then we'll be on 65 on Tuesday. And now, Preston and Steve's News Update with Kathy Romano. Today is Friday. It is April 11th. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, an executive of Siemens, a European technology company, his wife and young children were aboard the tourist helicopter that plunged into New York City's Hudson River on Thursday, leaving no survivors.

Augustine Escobar and his wife, Marseille, and their children, aged 4, 5, and 11 years old, have been identified as victims in the crash, along with the 36-year-old pilot. The identity of the pilot who was flying the New York helicopter's chartered chopper has not been released yet.

The aircraft was 21 years old and on its sixth flight of the day. The Bell 206 was stripped of its rotors and upside down midair. The detached rotor was seen spinning when it splashed down a few minutes later. Never seen anything like this before. Never seen footage like this before of the rotors coming off of a copter and just...

Slicing the back of... I mean, and just like a meteor straight down into the water. And I was talking to Nick earlier, Preston, and they described this as like a one in a trillion. Yeah. Because of the way that they came off, it slit the stabilizing back part of the helicopter off. So all the experts said there'd have been no way to do anything but just crash. But...

It's just another one. I'm like, what? And the kids and the family and they're touring New York City and it just came plunging down again. It broke my heart because we've all taken pictures at events with our families. Before you're going to do something exciting, they have that picture and then they're gone. It's just so horrible. Awful. You never know what they'll...

find out or figure or whatever. But I have a friend who's a helicopter pilot, or I'm sorry, a helicopter maintenance. He does the maintenance on the helicopters. And like what they go through day to day when they do maintenance and what they have to make sure they do. And then when they clean up, they have to count each screw and each, you know,

things whatever they use meticulous yeah the tools and and everything so i mean you know i don't know what happened and who knows if they'll ever figure that out but like stuff like that is so meticulous that like how does that happen i mean they're they're who knows there can be where spots that that i don't know that are missed somehow did you have an association with somebody who or there was a helicopter accident involving some i miss remembering but

You, you, you, there was a helicopter. Oh, the guy, there's a different thing. The guy had a gun pulled on him at the helicopter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was, yeah, that was the helicopter traffic pilot in St. Louis. It was a, somebody got in the chopper with him, pulled a gun on him, and they were forcing him to fly to a prison. Yeah. To get someone out of there. Yeah.

Alan Barklage was the pilot and he was a Vietnam veteran and he wrestled the gun away from the guy and killed him in his own helicopter. That is insane. That was crazy. So this family was visiting New York City from Barcelona, Spain. Two Spanish officials told ABC News the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating what led to the deadly incident. The crash occurred at 317 off the coast of River Drive in Hoboken, New Jersey, just a

over 15 minutes after it departed from the Wall Street heliport. The helicopter reached the George Washington Bridge before turning south and crashing, officials said. The chopper was found upside down in the 50-degree water when rescuers arrived at the scene.

SEPTA officials gathered for a press conference yesterday to unveil their latest budget proposal that included sweeping service cuts, fare increases, and limited service hours. The announcement comes as SEPTA has dealt with several years of financial difficulties and a decrease in ridership due in part to COVID-19. SEPTA officials say the proposal includes a total of 45% in service cuts and a 21.5% fare increase.

fair increase in a new sustainable funding solution cannot if a new sustainable funding solution cannot be agreed upon. SEPTA says their fiscal year 2026 budget which would go into effect in July of 2025 would include multiple stages of cuts impacting service as early as August.

According to the proposal, a 20% service cut would go into effect on August 24th, eliminating 32 bus routes while shortening 16 others. The 88 bus, metro, and regional rail lines would also undergo service cuts and special services like express transportation to sporting events would end. Starting in September, a 21.5% fare increase would go into effect, increasing base fares to $2.90.

The September fare increase would be accompanied by a complete hiring freeze on all employees, including operators. And then come January 2026, an additional 25% service cut would go into effect the first month. Did they say how many bus routes there currently are in effect?

Oh, how many? Right. So they're reducing it by that much. I'm curious as to overall how many currently run. I don't know. But I mean, to eliminate 32 bus routes, you know, and all the people that take those buses to get to work and, you know, like are the custodian here. I talk to her every morning. She has to take it's either two or three buses to get from where she lives to here. So if one of those goes away, she's screwed. She's yeah. How's she going to get to work?

I know the regional rail lines included in the service eliminations are the Kenwood line, Chestnut Hill, West line, the Paley-Thorndale, the Trenton line, and then the Wilmington-Newark line as well. For the metro and regional rail services that remain, a 9 p.m. curfew would be implemented on all metro and regional rail services.

Police and neighbors have a lot of questions after someone crashed a school bus into parked cars late Wednesday night in West Philadelphia. The crash happened at 11 o'clock in the evening on the 5500 block of Chestnut Street. Neighbors reported seeing the person who was behind the wheel ditch the crashed school bus and take off running down an alley.

Now, police can't figure out where the bus came from. I guess because it happened overnight, it hasn't yet been reported stolen. So they don't know who the school bus belongs to. Police are still looking into the circumstances surrounding the crash. The Barger family, Preston. Yeah. Yes. They owned a school bus. All right. In sports this morning.

Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy! What the f*** is that?

The Phillies lost to the Braves 4-2 earlier this morning in Atlanta. The game ended at about 1 a.m. this morning after a two-hour and 45-minute rain delay in the sixth inning. Marcelo Zuna hit a two-run home run in the 11th inning to win the game in a very empty Truist Park. Kyle Schwarber hit his sixth home run in 12 games in the third inning. The Phillies are in St. Louis this weekend for a series against the Cardinals. Aaron Nola will get the

start tonight. The first pitch set for 8-15. The Flyers, who have only four games left in the regular season, are back home tomorrow afternoon and will host the New York Islanders. The puck will drop at 12-30. The Sixers are also nearing the end of their season and will wrap things up with two games at home this weekend. Tonight, they'll host the Atlanta Hawks. Tip-off is at 7 o'clock. And Sunday, they'll end their season with a game against the Chicago Bulls at 1 o'clock.

The Union are 4-1-2. And in third place in the Eastern Conference tomorrow night, they'll take on New York City FC at Citi Field in Queens at 7.30. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champions. And that's what I have for you this morning. Thank you, Kathy. Welcome Friday. No sad bro and all that good stuff. Money to be given away today. We gave away some cash yesterday.

So, we're about five minutes away from going live on 6ABC this morning, so hang tight on that. In the meantime, we'll ask a stupid question, if you know the answer to this. Go ahead, and by the way, go ahead and text the word ZOOM right now to 610-660-9333. That way, you'll have the daily link.

And then we will be able to send it off to you and then you can get yourself landed. Oh, by the way, one of the things I forgot to tease is that we are doing it at 715, 715, 720, most talented kid in the car. Yes. So if you've got a grade school age child that's going to be with you in the car between like 715 and 745.

get whatever talent they have ready to go anything at all some type of performance for us start rehearsing and uh we will we'll take as many as we can during that time and like i've said before we may not get we may not get any i think we will get some but we'll see how it goes and uh

We'll find out who we deem the winner of this particular contest. A, it's worth the experiment. B, my request still stands for a child to do a monologue from Django Unchained. That's right. If I could get that. Yep. All right. So we'll see what happens. All right. In the meantime, our stupid question. Four pack of tickets for Driven to Serve Muscle Car Jeep and Truck Show at Maple Grove Raceway on Saturday, April 26th is what we're giving away. And here's your question. What year...

Was the game Minecraft released? Aha! Let's see if we know the answer to that. What year was the game Minecraft released? 610-660-9333. Text...

The word Zoom, and we'll send you that link. I'll mention some birthdays today while we get ready for this check-in on 6 ABC. We'll probably have to break in the middle of these, but today's the 11th day of April, and we'll start with actress Jennifer Esposito. Yes, she's good. She is 52 years old. Movies like Crash, she was on Blue Blood, she was in The Boys as well. Yes, it was she...

She's one of the first case, one of the first head explosions. Oh, okay. She was married to Bradley Cooper for a year in 2006. She's also in that crappy movie Taxi with Jimmy Fallon. We also have Bill Irwin who

Who, if you had kids and you watched Elmo's World, he was Mr. Noodle. Was he in My Blue Heaven? The tall Mr. Noodle. He was in My Blue Heaven. He does a goofy little dance. Yeah. He's really, he's... Lanky? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's got all kinds of wild moves that he does. And obviously, he's very animated. But also, in the movie Interstellar, he's the voice of TARS, that robot. No! I love that. That's one of my favorite sci-fi robots. I agree. Me too. Me too.

Uh, so he, I love his dancing in my blue weapon. I know. He's just a whole bunch of things where he's just like kind of dancing by himself. Yeah. The, uh, the, I don't know, it's like the reggae or whatever is playing in the background. It's terrific. A merengue. A merengue, yeah. If I may give another shout out to that robot, uh, when it scoops up Anne Hathaway. And runs? And runs. It's so cool, yeah. Really, really great. Except for maybe not Anne Hathaway. Save somebody else. He is, uh, 75 today. Uh, actress Millie Alcock, if you watch, uh, House of the Dragon, uh,

She plays Rayara, I guess is how you say her name. I've watched it, and then I stopped after the first season. But in the first season, she's the younger Targaryen, and then they show her in an older form. Let me ask you this. Do you think that you have spent enough time in that world, and that's why you just sort of eroded out of it? Probably. Yeah, I find that.

Like sometimes it's like, I've been here enough. Yeah. I mean, I know it's sacrilege, but that's how I felt about Star Wars. I know people still are on board, but I tapped out at some point. If you do dive back into House of the Dragon, wait until season three because all of season two is a setup for season three. It really ends with...

Spoiler alert, but whatever. Not a ton happens in the season finale, except that they are setting up a war. Okay. And so if you're going to go back to it and you need to binge, do all of season two right before season three starts. I'm coming to the end of a workout show. There you go. So then maybe I could use another one. That's actually a pretty solid idea. She's 25 years old today. Marissa, we should be roughly 30 seconds away from 6 ABC. We're going to check on that. They're so precise.

Peter Riegert played Boone in Animal House. And he turns 78 years old today. He's the one that says, Beverly! He's also in a very good movie called Local Hero. Local Hero? Yeah, with Burt Lancaster. All right, Beverly.

There it is. Thank you, Case. So he turns 78 years old today. We got 10 seconds. I'm going to go ahead and bring their volume up. Here we go. Let's see what they want to talk about today on 6ABC. It's Matt O'Donnell. It's Matt.

It's Friday, so that means it's time to say hello and good morning to our friends Preston and Steve at WMMR. So hello, guys. Hey, we have a new term here. Want to share it with you. It's called panic percentage.

The moment you start to worry about your phone's battery life. Now, a new survey by Talker Research claims for the average American, the panic starts at 38%. What is your panic percentage? Oh, man, mine is more like 65. I'm like, I like a fully charged battery, man. Listen, and they say you shouldn't leave stuff plugged in because it'll eventually erode the battery.

a battery's ability to retain a charge, but I do it anyway. I love to see that full bar totally charged. Phone, laptop, anything that needs a charge. Ahead of the curve. You have to be. We were talking about pouring out milk that you think might be

Going bad ahead of the expiration date. I do that in the supermarket. That far in advance? Yeah. Wow. That's how worried I am. Impressive. I'm also funky like that with my gas as well. Quarter tank, I start getting nervous. And every Sunday, I fill it all the way up. I like to have a fresh tank at the beginning of the week. Listen, if it drops below half a tank, I start purchasing prepper food.

I'm impressed by this. I live very dangerously with my phone battery. Yeah, when it's like 3%, I panic. I'm like, oh, hell yeah. You're a loose cat. I'm like, all right, let me

I'm infamous for my phone dying. She one time was on an escalator and she was not holding onto the railing. What? You were probably doing it in high heels. Do you wait to the last second that top step curls under the platform? Are you that reckless? Or do you jump off the escalator? Come on, be honest. Ah.

I told you I like to live dangerously. I don't know. I might do a little hop. I might skip a step. I might try to leave for work at 3 in the morning with less than a quarter tank of gas. I wonder how many people have seen you and said, who's that insane woman on the escalator? Drinking a jug of expired milk. No, no, no.

Unbelievable. Hey, guys, real quick. What do you do? I used to do radio, and I was terrified to run out of things to say. Yes. You guys do a long program. What happens if you're like, geez, we ran out of material? We just babble on and say stupid things for an hour. We call it going off. We've gone off the rails more than the early railway systems of the United States. After 27 years of doing this together, we babble well. We agree. Yeah. Thank you.

There's always, do you believe in God? Yeah, exactly. Matt's really getting things started. How about the Masters? All Matt can talk about is the Masters. You guys into golf? Oh, yeah, big time. Matt and I are old golf buddies, actually. We go way back. You stopped playing with Matt because of how much he cheated, right? No.

No, he started kicking my butt regularly and I had to bail. He got too good, right? We would love to tell you what the trophy is called that he actually made up in a trophy store. We will not. We will not. I need this tea. That's all fair stuff. Come on. This would be a good time to say goodbye. All right, man.

I think you guys have a good weekend. I'll say what it is. So, Matt and I were playing golf regularly. And so...

And we would go back and forth with who won that particular day. And it wasn't a competition, but who had the better score. Right. But it's a competition. Yeah. So I went out and I bought a little trophy and I said, hey, whoever wins gets to keep this at each time we play. And so it was a cup, like your standard trophy cup. And I put it on. I called it the I think it was a Preston and Matt double D cup.

is what I called it. No, that's not that bad. It's a little risque for those guys, but it's not bad for us at all. But he got really good, right? Oh my God, he's way better than me. Matt is like a two-handicap. Is that why you stopped playing with him? No. Matt plays a lot. Matt joined a country club and I never heard from him again.

Yeah, they used to play like public courses together. We did. We were regularly playing public courses and then Matt joined a club and then I never heard from him again. So that happens.

All right. And now I belong to a club. All right. So we're going to continue the birthdays from the world of music. Two birthdays in the band Bush. Dylan Keefe and Nigel Pulseford, which is one of the most British names I've ever heard. Nigel Pulseford? Yes. Oh, my God. So Nigel is 65 and Dylan turns 55 years old today. Man, it's Nigel Pulseford. I'm in the band Bush.

And then, also from the world of music and playing the MMORPG, Dorothy Martin. Oh, no kidding. Lead singer of Dorothy is celebrating her birthday today. She's 38. And here's something I did not know. I just saw a little bit in her bio. She is Hungarian born. Yes. And she...

At one of the last times she was at the Arbicute, she was kind of talking about her childhood. And yeah, she waxed sort of nostalgic about that and about how much she loves the United States. You know who is a huge Dorothy fan?

My mommy. No way. Really loves Dorothy. Get out of here. Loves Dorothy. Good for her. In fact, this song Flawless, like, if you want her singing in the car, play Flawless. She'll do that. No way. All right, well, you got to bring her to the MMO barbecue if she feels like it because Dorothy will indeed do that. Get her to stage dive. There's a guy who I see text in every morning. His name's Mike from the Cherry Hill Fire Department and every day.

Every day, Mike will text in overnight, he loves Dorothy. And he wanted to make sure that we acknowledge her birthday today. So, Mike, this is for you. All right, Mikey. All right, and then two more birthdays to mention. Director Vincent Gallo, he gave us the brown bunny with full-on oral sex in it. And Buffalo 66, and the way it is, he is 64 years old today. And then I snagged an obscure one for you this morning. A gentleman by the name of Lucky Venus...

is 64 he is a model and he came to fame as the shirtless diet coke guy remember this guy from those commercials yeah there was a big uh big brouhaha over him ladies loved it yeah yeah 64 today all right let's see if somebody knows the answer to the question uh which is what year was minecraft released and we will go to chris right now to check in hi chris good morning

Good morning. All right, Chris, what year did Minecraft release to the world, please? 2009. She is correct. 2009 is when that came out. Hang on just a second, Chris. She's happy. We are going to give you a four-pack of tickets for the Driven to Serve muscle car Jeep and truck show.

Truck Show, Maple Grove Raceway. And it's on Saturday, April 26th. Over 1,000 modded vehicles, jet cars, a monster truck car crush, track racing, raffles, and more. And it's all for a great cause, benefiting the Travis Men and Foundation. Tickets start at just $10. And you can learn more at driven2serve.com. And you can tell, and I love that we zoom in right now, she drives a Jeep. She's in a Jeep right now. You can just tell by the interior. That's perfect. All right, so...

Terrible story to pass along. Actor Eric Dane revealed that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

52 years old. And his statement said, I've been diagnosed with ALS. I'm grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter. So I'm a fan of his. He was on a series that I really, really enjoyed called The Last Ship. And Preston, big, important.

Yeah. Robust guy. This just breaks my heart. Yeah. So ALS, of course, known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS causes loss of muscle control. The disease gets worse over time. There's no cure for it. Eventually, you die from it. I mean, it's terrible. While Dane did not share many details surrounding his diagnosis, the actor said,

who plays the Jacobs family patriarch on Euphoria, told People Magazine that he's returning to set next week to continue filming season three of the hit HBO show. He said, I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and I'm looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria next week and I kindly ask that you give my family and I

privacy during this time. So this might be part and parcel of their calling off the divorce. His wife is Rebecca Gayhart. Yeah, that's the speculation. They had filed for divorce and they've set that aside, obviously. I hope, you know, sometimes it can take a while, several years, maybe five years, depending on the severity of the case. I hope that he is able to keep working for a while and that maybe...

They write something into the show that allows him to stay on it until he can't do it anymore. Because I would imagine if you have a sentence like that, maybe being able to keep doing what you do, your craft, could help you just...

make it a little bit easier i would you know what i mean i wonder has have there been any i you always hear these things um we know it's not curable at present but have they been able to uh develop things you keep hearing about things too slow the progression i would hope that that's something i haven't seen anything i mean i had a personal touch with i i was scared that i had it because i had these uh

muscle twitches in my body so i went to the i went to johns hopkins and i and i saw a neurologist there a couple of times and went through the testing so i asked a lot of questions yeah and you know like the the main question that the uh neurologist told me that he gets is well what about stephen hawking right right how did that happen um he had he explained it to me he had

almost like a juvenile version. It's very rare in ALS. It's mainly people around Eric Dane's age is when you get diagnosed. It's generally older. We have met a couple of people that were younger when we worked with this ALS charity for a little while. But his condition, Stephen Hawking's, was this rare thing where he had a different version of it that allowed this

Unheard of longevity. Yes. And I mean, obviously he wasn't, he was able to function with the help of equipment, but yeah, that is a complete anomaly. But man, I just really sad to hear that. Yeah. So he said, I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria next week. And I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during the time. In addition to Euphoria, he was also known for his role as Dr. Mark Sloan.

the charismatic plastic surgeon on Grey's Anatomy, and also starred in dozens of other projects, including Charmed and The Last Ship as well. I can recommend that show, The Last Ship. I loved it. Straight through, it gives you a tremendous amount of insight into the Navy and what the... And it's sort of a post... It's not a completely apocalyptic president, but there's a virus that wipes out a tremendous portion of the Earth, and this is one of the last functioning ships that can do things. I mean...

You know, weapons tactics. There are all sorts of insights you get into the military that I thought was really cool. And it had a sort of, I don't know, I'm trying to think of the author. But like Hunt for Red October, who's the author of that? Oh, yeah.

Barn door. But to that point, that seems sort of sharp writing. So just getting back to ALS real quick, I don't listen to a ton of podcasts, but I love Conan O'Brien's. And he has one where he chats with this guy named Jules and Jules' wife. Jules has ALS and he speaks with this...

essentially. And the AI that they use to allow Jules to speak through the computer is fascinating. Conan has a full-on conversation with Jules. Some of it was pre-typed. Some of it was pre-thought out. But Steve, there are some small medical advancements, but the technological advancements are what's really impressive to me. And so Conan having this conversation with Jules gave me hope in the fact that at least

Jules is able to communicate. Nick, was the voice more natural sounding? Absolutely. And they used Jules' voice. Oh, wow. So, you know, when you joke around with the AI stuff and, you know, have Gary Lauer do stuff or whatever, they use that same technology to have Jules' voice sound like what Jules sounds like.

I think everyone should have access to AI Gary Lauer. Yeah, maybe Jules should have that next. But if you ever get it, listen to some developments in the technological fight against ALS, the Conan O'Brien podcast with Jules and his wife Maria. By the way, Eric Dane has two teenage children with his wife Rebecca Gayhart. I have some other stories to get to. Let's go on the lighter side of things. Ben Affleck is reportedly moving on after a split from Jennifer Lopez and his new celebrity crushes

Angelina Jolie. Oh, come on! What? She just came out of a nine-year divorce arc. Seriously. Find someone else! What? Angelina Jolie? I mean...

I mean, you just saw the conflict with Brad Pitt. Do you really want to get into this? No, no, this is just Ben having a crush. You know when Ben has a crush. He got back together with Jennifer Lopez. Because of a crush. A source told Daily Mail. He's my Batman. That Ben has, and by the way, he said he will never play Batman again. I know, but he is.

I will always love you. They said that Ben has always thought that she was very hot and admired how she has navigated her career. He also called her smart and respects her directing work, which he shares in common. Yeah, he wants it. The source said that they would certainly have a lot to talk about over dinner because he thinks it's pretty cool that she is directing films too. Tony, how's your vagina? Something he has done many times. Batman, a gynecologist.

Ben is... This is my kind of Batcave. Appreciate that he...

Nice and moist. Oh, God. And Angelina are close in age as well. We would. Though he's been casually dating and People Insider says romance isn't a focus right now. He's focused on work. Yeah. He wants to focus something. Yeah. Gwyneth Paltrow is getting real about family on her Goop podcast saying that she regrets not having more kids. Goop just cracks me up every time. I hate it.

It'll never not. It's like calling it splooge. She said, my dad, Bruce Paltrow, used to say the only regret he had in his entire life was not having more kids. She was telling her husband and guest Brad Falchuk this, adding, I felt like that for a long time. Of course, she shares Apple and Moses with Chris Martin. And she said she's started feeling more complete as a mom after marrying Falchuk and becoming a stepmom to his two kids, Brody and Isabelle.

Bella. Still, she admits that blending families hasn't always been easy, calling step-parenting tricky and requiring a great deal of accountability, vulnerability, understanding your triggers, and adding that nothing quite seems to trigger somebody else, especially women like a stepmother. But these days, she reveals that things have clicked between her and Falchuk's family. She said it started to just feel really light and really cohesive, and

And she's added that she is a particular kind of delight. It's fantastic. A particular kind of delight watching all four kids bond and be in their own relationships and being friends with each other and loving each other. Have you had those, you guys, with kids? Have you had that? Do you like to have more? You ever have those? I definitely wanted more. All right. Yeah. Casey gets, quote unquote, baby fever every now and then, he tells me. Still, right? I only have one. Casey, at least you have three. But mine is a complete disappointment. Yeah.

Really missed the mark. I mean, honestly, if I could do it all over again, one more at least would be correct for this mistake. You always have to have someone on deck. There's so many different ways that... Doggy and missionary? No. Oh my God, I'm stepping away.

And I'm done. That's it. So many different ways to have children. Yeah. Yes. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, exactly. Was that what you were trying to say, Casey? That's not what I was trying to say. To answer the question Nick and Casey did, no, I'm good. You're good. Three is plenty. I think that's fine. We're solid.

So let's see. What else do we want to get into here? What time is it? It's 6.55. All right. So, yeah, I got time for a couple more. All right. Congratulations to former Saturday Night Live cast member and comedian Cecily Strong. She just gave birth to her first child. Speaking of babies.

She and her fiance, John McGregor, announced their daughter's arrival on Instagram a week after the child's birth on April 2nd. I like her a lot. I really enjoyed the first season of Schmigadoon. Yeah, and she was always great on SNL. With a picture of the baby and the couple's fur baby, Strong wrote, Me and my girls...

It's been a week and a day with my beautiful squirmy baby girl. I recognize all her little squirms and kicks from when she was on the other side of me. And now I get to say, see? See what I was talking about? When you have a child, is it very similar to when you clean out the garage and you keep looking at it? Yes. Absolutely. You just want to walk by and look.

There's a weird thing that happens too, Steve, and I'm curious if you guys all felt it. When they were babies, when they were infants, and you would go by and they were in their room sleeping in the crib, would you, before you walk in, go...

please be breathing. Please don't be dead. I used to check on... Because he loved sleep so much. I used to go in and check to make sure that he was still breathing. That he was alive. Because he would sleep... He was the greatest sleeper on the face of the earth. And I was like, it's been 12 hours. I have to go check. Literally put your hand on him and make sure that the lungs are going up and down. But I mean, there's this moment of fear as you're walking in the room. Like, oh...

I don't know why your worst fears pop up like that. Well, because that's what your mind always wants to tell you the worst story. And it's those protective parental instincts kicking in. Yep, that's it. All right. So you guys know that my oldest sibling passed away from SIDS, right? Yeah. Yeah. So like, yeah. Yeah.

It's a reality. And it's fairly common. Right. Right. All right. Let's go to something else. A Minecraft movie has been a runaway success. It's been dominating the box office. Crowds of kids and teens rushing to see it have been so energetic. Of course, the movie theaters have even had to call security to calm the crowds down at time. And in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Jared Hess said,

has shared that he is grateful for the positive response his movie has gotten, including when teens go absolutely crazy for the highly memed chicken jockey scene. He said it's hysterical, man. He said it's weird when you're having too much fun and the cops get called. And he said it's funny because I think it's just literally cheering and throwing popcorn, which is so funny to me that cops are getting called for popcorn. I think he's right to do this. You need to celebrate this because the...

You got to get people back in the theaters. Exactly. We all love going to the movie theaters. We can't have them go away. And so they're looking for ways like this. And to make this a communal thing where people are so excited to go be with other people and watch a movie, that's hilarious. It's getting more and more crazy, Steve. Nick is showing me a video right now. There's popcorn and stuff flying, confetti. A kid jumps up on another kid's shoulders.

In the movie theater and he's holding a chicken up in the air. Do you know what this is? This is today's Rocky Horror Adventure Show. That's great. I love it. It's become a thing and now it's also become a thing that people are filming. It's becoming performative and so they're trying to go nuts for each other in front of the cell phone. And in this video that we're watching, Nick, as soon as that scene is over...

The film turns off. The lights turn on. I mean, they're shutting it down right away. But he goes on to say, it's great, especially when people are climbing on their friends' shoulders and standing up and cheering for those moments. But man, I'm just glad people are making memories with their friends and family. So that's great. Yes. Celebrate the moment. It's a reason for people to go to the theater. Yep.

All right, this is another cool thing, and I know you'll agree, Steve, that it's about time. In a move that many believed is long overdue, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts is finally recognizing movie stunts when it comes to Oscar time. Yes. Absolutely. I mean, these people are risking their lives for this in film. They've given...

Oscars in the past for special acknowledgement of contributions. But they need to make that a regular award. And now more than ever, with the way the films are, there's so much action and so much stuff that's being unrecognized. It's almost criminal. So the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that they are creating an annual Competitive Academy Award for Achievement in Stunt Design.

beginning with 100th Academy Awards for its films released in 2027, so we're still a couple of years away. Though there have been special Oscars, like Steve was saying in the past, most recently one to Hal Needham in 2013, an actual category recognized the contributions of the stuntmen, stuntwomen, and stuntdesigners did not exist until now. By the way, Hal Needham, like...

broke his back, a bad injury, doing basically that stunt that you see in the movie Uber, the rocket-powered car. That was how Needham did that. I really love the movie The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling that came out last year. And basically the entire movie is an homage and a love letter to the stunt industry. And they spent a lot of time in the credits talking about the stuntmen that helped make that movie get made. So this is overdue. This is good.

All right, it's been rumored for weeks and it's now confirmed Mike Flanagan, perhaps the leading director in serial horror. He's done Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher. He will direct a prime video series adaptation of the Stephen King classic Carrie. So they're going to go after another shot at this story. I...

I am thrilled. He's great. I love him. He did Dr. Sleep as well. And he really he's really great at it. Have they gone to this story too much already? I don't know. So here's the deal. It'll be eight episodes. The book is different than the films in that.

Not to give away, the ending is way bigger in the book than they show in the movies. Like, you know, it's not just the school. I mean, like a lot more happens. See, there's like an investigation into it. They're Senate hearings. Yeah, yeah. So they keep going, they call it the White Commission. Yeah. So in the book, they keep going to, you know, between chapters, they'll say, you know, like someone will come forth and they'll give some information in the White Commission as to trying to figure out what the hell happened.

So if they do that and be a little more true to the book, I think there's more material to go to and that they can fill eight episodes. And it might be pretty cool to explore that. But I don't know if they'll do it or not. They've done it like three times now. They did cover the boulders and rocks and all that stuff in one of them. I forget which one it was. So they're all around it. I just am like, okay, all right.

All right, maybe on that point we'll see if they do add that element in because, I mean, there's other projects to hit. I told you I watched the movie The Monkey. Oh, yeah, yeah, you said that was great. I really enjoyed it. A lot of people did not like it. I think it depends on the way it hits you, but I really found it a kind of a really cool way to approach how we approach death.

The one I'm really looking forward to is The Life of Chuck, and that will cover how we approached that, too, which is really, I loved that story. I mean, really, we get to find out about Chuck D'Amico. I think it's going to be cool. Yes. All right, and one last thing.

The ups and downs of Wrexham FC are back. FX has announced that Welcome to Wrexham Season 4 will follow the football club co-owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds as the team starts Year 5 under the Hollywood duo's ownership.

Season four will consist of eight episodes, premiere May 15th, 9 o'clock, and there are two episodes and repeats available via Hulu the next day. Think about what that series has done to that town. I know. It brought it back. That first season where you're introduced to everybody and the notion of could this happen, could this be? It's such a touching season, I should say. All right, we got movies opening this weekend, friends. Yeah.

Bye.

We will start with the amateur. It is an action mystery and it stars Rami Malek, John Bernthal and Lawrence Fishburne. Charlie Heller is a brilliant but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley, whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack.

When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands. Two hours and three minutes long rated PG-13. A wide theater release. Rotten Tomatoes score is at 64%. You know, big mistake. They've got to stop putting what appear to be key scenes of a movie in the trailer. You're talking about the swimming pool scene? The swimming pool scene looks like it'd be something...

I know, but I was like, alright, I'm going to go see this. I love these kinds of movies though. Like CIA stuff. Revenge movies? Yeah, absolutely. Also opening is Drop. It's a mystery thriller. It stars Megan Faye, Brandon Sklenar, and Violet Bean. Violet...

A widowed mother on her first date in years arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry, is more charming and handsome than she had expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone. She's instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet's young son and babysitting sister.

Violet Mastoua exactly as directed or Everyone She Loves Will Die, her Unseen Tormentor's final directive, Kill Henry. It's an hour and 40 minutes long, rated PG-13, wide theater release, and Rotten Tomatoes scores got it at 85%. Yeah, that's a pretty good score. And then finally, and we're excited about this, Audrey's Children. Biography, drama, stars Natalie Dormer, Jimmy Simpson, and Clancy Browne.

Audrey's Children tells the untold story of visionary British physician Dr. Audrey Evans, who burst onto the scene in 1969 as the first female chief oncology at the world-renowned Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Battling sexism, medical conventions, and the subterfuge of her peers, Evans developed the first neuroblastoma staging system, co-founded NeuroStimulus.

the first Ronald McDonald house for families of patients and ultimately impacted the lives of millions of children and families around the world. It's an hour and 55 minutes long. It's rated PG. There are special screenings at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, by the way. And Rotten Tomatoes score 88%. So that's a hit, gang. That's great. Yep. All right, now we got some clips.

Meeting a unicorn is believed to be a magical experience, but horror film Death of a Unicorn proves differently. And in this clip, Jenna Ortega describes the one annoying thing that removes all the magic on the set for her. Planes. I can't stand the sound of a plane because I'm so used to pausing on set and you could be in the middle of a really important scene or just trying to make it through the day. And they always, I don't know why, love locations. Let me make that clear. But...

Let's not keep choosing locations right next to airports. It's terrible. Death of a Unicorn is already in theaters. When the hell is Wednesday going to come back? I'm ready for it, man. Here's our next clip.

Black Mirror has returned for six more episodes. In this clip, creator and executive producer Charlie Brooker describes his hopes for the audience experience. I wanted to sort of channel that sort of claustrophobic, crazy-making sensation of almost small details being shifted around and reality shifting under your feet and feeling like on unsteady ground, which I think is a feeling that a lot of us feel generally all the time at the moment. Shut the f*** up!

Sometimes that clip just fits right in there. New episodes of Black Mirror are now streaming on Netflix. There you go. That's our entertainment report for you this morning. So we have a few things taking place. We'll get to the connoisseur segment this morning. Are we going to do it? We have a special guest. Yes, we are going to do it. So we're going to try this out. We're going to take a break. We're going to return.

And we're going to try most talented kid in the car because a lot of times when people zoom in, they're taking their kids to school. They're sitting in the back seat. We're going to see if we can put them to work this morning. I would suggest if you are going to do this and you want to put on a fine presentation, perhaps if you have the ability to pull over, pull over into a parking lot. Of course, yes. That would be wonderful. But we're going to see them showcase their talents. Marissa? We're ready here in the back room if they want to start lining up for the talent show. So text...

Zoom to 610-660-9333. We have no idea how many people we will get. And if we get a lot, I don't know how many we'll be able to take. We're not even really sure how we're going to pick winners yet. But we're going to try this. That's what makes it our thing. That's how you know. It has our stamp of approval. Totally. No preparation. We had said fifth grade and under. And that's around what age did you guys say? 21. No. 10? Is that? 11. 11. Yeah. Fifth grade and under.

and younger. Yeah, fifth grade. You can tell if the kid's got a beard, he's not, you know. Just call in. Let's not focus on the age. Yeah, so text ZOOM to 610-660-9333. We're going to give away some $50 point cards to Arnold's Family Fun Center. Nice. For the most talented kids. We have three of those, so we've got to pick three that

stand out for whatever reason. I don't want to say that there are winners and losers in this, but somebody's going to win something, somebody's not going to win something. Anyway, we'll take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll see if we have any takers on this. Stay put.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Just out of curiosity, because Kathy said spiral cut earlier, I always wondered how they cut those things in a spiral, so I pulled up a YouTube video of a ham being cut into a spiral. Is it what I assume? It's kind of hypnotic.

I want it to be like a constant gif that runs all the time on my screensaver so I can just kind of... Yeah, it spins around and almost looks like a gyro type of thing, but it's moving all very slowly and methodically as it slices. Kind of bizarrely satisfying to me. All right, anyway, besides that, I need to mention this. The MM Army is out today visiting two offices to kick off our Duncan Meal Deal workforce visits.

And in the next, I don't know, five or ten minutes or so, they're going to be at all current electrical sales in Morristown, New Jersey. So thanks to Donna.

Hey! For writing in, she wrote in and said, our warehouse employees work their asses off. Sweat in the summer. No AC in the warehouse. Handle shipping, receiving rushes, and on weekends, too. The office and interior staff constantly processing invoices for five warehouses coast to coast. Wow. The controller works 24-7. We are just average, happy people making a living, and we enjoy food and drink. Uh-oh.

We enjoy food and drink as well. So we're dropping off some meal deals and coffee for all of them today. You can enter your office or work site on the contest page at WMMR.com. And it's all brought to you by Dunkin', the biggest deal on breakfast. Waiting for you at Dunkin', you get one medium hot or iced coffee and any two delicious wake-up wrap sandwiches for just $5.

So stop by any Dunkin' location where you can order on the Dunkin' app. So we're happy to do that. And there's another location. I'll reveal that later on today. Nick found my spiral video. It's so good. Right? It's so hypnotic. Isn't that bizarre? Excellent description. It kind of looks like a hero cutter. Yeah. You know? Steve, if you're bored this weekend, you need a distraction. Actually, Nick, I always break out my own at-home hero cutter and just have that meat spinning away. Maybe I'll come over. Yeah. All right.

We'll eat popcorn and watch it. To give you the quick idea behind what we're about to try, we, you know, our phones don't work anymore. Well, we decided to do away with them. And?

And so now we've been taking calls via Zoom on the show, which we found out we actually love. And one of the cool, surprising, unexpected things is that from time to time you get parents and they got their kids sitting in their, you know, kid seat in the backseat. And we always ask, who's that back there? Yeah, who's that back there? What are they doing? And we find out about them going to school and the kids a lot of times have something cute to say. Yes. I thought let's take this a step further and see if we can find some kids who want to showcase a little bit of talent.

And we'll turn it into a fun little competition. And so we are going to try this for the first time ever. It is... The Most Talented Kid in the Car! Via Zoom on the Preston and Steve Show. I have $50 point cards to Arnold's Family Fun Center that we will give away. And that's, you know, go-karts, mini-golf, bowling, and a bunch of great stuff for you to entertain the youngins on. And so...

Marissa has said that we have some people lined up and ready to try this out. I'm very excited. I knew we would. If you want to jump in line, I don't know how many people we have lined up. I don't know how much time we're going to have to get to this, but you can text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. You'll get today's link, and then we'll get you in line to possibly have your kid entertain us a little bit and maybe walk away with a prize. And as Steve has said, if you can pull over during this segment, that'd be great. Probably the best idea. Yep, but

We're going to try this out. Now, here's how I think we should do it. All of us have a scorecard in front of us.

And we can, I think, score them from 1 to 10. All right. Personally. Those are the numbers you're talking about. Yes. These are numbers, 1 to 10. And then when we are done, we'll total up all the scores and the top three will get prizes. There we go. Sound good? Yes. But everyone listen. By the way, this will be, the video will be on our video recap, our YouTube video that ends up after the show is run. So you'll be able to see yourself if you want to go back and take a look.

Is there something we can give every kid? I wish there was. I didn't plan for it. We'll get there in from eight. I don't know. Prizes have been scarce lately. They have been, but maybe, Kathy, we've got this big friggin' deal with Broad Street Brewing, so maybe we can...

Do something like that. Maybe a case of beer. Sure, yeah, a case of beer for the kids. I don't know, but listen. You're all winners in our book. That's all there is to it. Which should be really no comfort at all. But next time, maybe we'll have some consolation prizes. I just didn't prepare for this. Know that you've laid the groundwork for the people who will eventually all get prizes. Yes. Okay, so let's try this out. Marissa's going to bring them up via Zoom or Sam will. And we will go to them and we'll see what we have. So Marissa, we're ready for our first contestants in...

Oh, my God. Oh, I love it. All right. They're not in a car, Marissa. Gary Tate non-caries? Marissa?

They're getting ready to get into a car. Yes, they're getting ready for school. Do you want to show that little face that he can't show you his puppets? Okay, well, we'll do that. But I did say most towns kids in the car. He's already disqualified, so we know this kid's not winning. Are you kidding me? Just go with it. We're going to go to... Well, listen, it's what it's called, man. We're going to go to... Is your name Coda? Yes. Hi, Coda. By the way, I love your name. That is great. What's your mom's name?

Tara. Oh, hi, Tara. Okay. It says you're on my screen. I didn't see you there. All right. So, Koda, first of all, how old are you? Did we lose him? Hold on a minute. I see me. Well, he's doing an impression. How old are you? You look spot on. He's back. Hold on. Hi, Koda. We can see you now. Sorry about that. How old are you, Koda? Seven. Seven years old. Where do you go to school?

Stark Leather. Stark Leather. All right. Very good. All right. So, Coda, what kind of talent are you going to do today? I make alien puppets. Alien puppets. Do you make these yourself? Yes. Awesome. All right. Well, when you're ready to show them to us and what you can do, you go right ahead, Coda, and I'll describe to the radio audience when he's done. So go ahead and knock our socks off, Coda. Let's see. Let me put the music on.

Say, is it okay if I play music? It's okay if my mom plays music. Yes. Absolutely, buddy. Yeah. And your mom is awesome for being your stagehand. By the way, Coda is wearing an E.T. hat. I love it. I mean, it looks like E.T.'s face. Oh, this is great. Wow. I love it. I love it. Oh, my God. He's so cute. I don't hear the music. No. It's okay. It's okay.

That's okay. But they're dancing aliens. Uh-huh. On popsicles. He made them himself. Yes, he did. Wow. Oh, look. He's got like a really tall, creepy looking one. Yeah. So it looks like he drew them with like crayons and then cut them out and put them on the popsicles. I love it. We've had four aliens so far. Oh, six. Six aliens. Oh, my God. He's a machine. One kind of...

Has like these crab arms on him. And wow. And Koda, by the way, is down below what appears to be a seat. He can't see. He's so good at this, he can do it without seeing. Yeah. And you can see, it looks like E.T. because of the hat. It looks like alcoholic E.T. And one of those looked like the aliens from Toy Story as well. Oh my gosh. So many. Yeah. Koda, you're awesome. He's so good.

It looks like E.T.'s been punched in the face. Do you think that the alien puppets are dancing to the music that we can't hear? I think that's it. Mom, if you can hear us, are the alien puppets dancing to the music that we can't quite hear it? She's not hearing us. Hey, Tara, can you hear me? Yes. We can't hear any music.

Oh, you can't. It's on the TVs. All right. Well, that was great work. Nice job, Coda. Nice job with your alien puppets. You put a lot of work into that. So we are very impressed. Thank you for being on our show this morning. Okay, buddy? Thank you.

Koda. Let's hear it for Koda, guys. Stay with it, Koda. You're very talented. Contestant number one. So now we all jot down. We have a little sheet here and we write down a name and a talent. So that'd be puppets. Should we say one to ten or one to five? One to ten. I think will help us out.

in score-wise maybe having a clear-cut winner. All right, let's get our next one. They're in a car! Yay! All right, and I believe we're going to... Let's talk to Dad first. I believe we have David. Hey, David, how you doing, bud? Hanging in there. How you guys doing? Gadzooks. Gadzooks to you. All right, so is this normally a morning ritual, you and your daughter listening to the Preston and Steve show on the way to school?

Me and both my daughters, except my oldest one doesn't want to be on camera at the moment. That's all good. Who's the one that's going to be doing the talent this morning? This is Adria. All right. Adria, how you doing? Good. What grade are you in? I'm in fifth grade. Fifth grade. Perfect. You ready for the summer? Yeah. All right. What school do you go to? Stanford School of Home Customs. Okay. And what is your talent?

What does a boy tell him? How does a boy tell him to put his girl's dress? I couldn't quite understand. Could you repeat that?

How does a boy's cell phone propose to his girlfriend? How does a boy's cell phone propose to his girlfriend? Is that it? I have no idea. Adria, tell us. He gives her a ring. Oh. Hey. Right. It was right in front of us. She caught us. I love both of them. Nice job. Adria, thank you very much. Yeah. We'll see how you do. Nice job, Adria.

Go to school. All right. And now everybody jot down. Complete left turn with the chips. And then she doubles down. Gives it a ring. Gives it a ring. Steve, somebody on the YouTube stream suggested that she was going to tell the aristocrats a joke. Oh, my God.

Spent like 15 minutes doing the salad. Talent agent has a family walk-in. All right, we have our next kid talent stepping up. And first of all, we're going to talk to dad, Mike. Hey, Mike, how you doing? Hey, guys, how you doing? Wonderful. Where are you from, sir? We're over in Downingtown. Over in Downingtown. All right, thank you for checking in. Thanks for bringing your kid along. Is this your only child or do you have other ones in the family?

No, I've got a 19-year-old. Wow. You took a little break there for a moment. Yeah. What time do you drive the 19-year-old to school? He should be awake for class in like an hour. All right. All right. So who's sitting next to you here, Mike? This is Sage. Sage. Hi, Sage. How you doing? Sage is sassy. She was sticking her tongue out. What kind of girl?

That was fantastic. Oh my goodness. Acapella. Brilliant. That was so good. Oh my goodness. And they're doing a fist bump. Do you guys know that song? I've never heard it. No. Is that like an Irish folk song? It sounds like a Celtic song. Yeah.

It's the girls singing about how girls can sing. Okay. Yes, that is also true. But Mike, is it like a Celtic song? It is. It sounds like it. We actually first heard about it on, I think it was a Spanish singer sang it on Eurovision. Okay. And that's how we got, that's how we were exposed to it. But I had called her a savage like her whole life. My wife was like,

Oh my God, there's a song called Savage Daughter. I was like, well, we're definitely learning that. That's great. All the inflections, there was a little bit of an accent. It was quite good. Yeah. Sage, you killed it. Congratulations. They loved it. Keep your tongue in your mouth. I know.

Right? Right. All right, Mike. We'll see how you guys do. Thank you, brother. It's good to hear from you. That was great. Savage daughter. Dad going, I know. All right. Yeah. He's like almost rolling his eyes. Dude, she is a ham. She is such a ham. I love it. That's what I'm looking for. That's what I think. I think we have these kids that want some attention and having some fun and performing. I'm glad they're not on right now because one of the lyrics kept sounding to me like knocked up my daughter. Oh, really? Yeah. And I'm like...

I would love to see what the lyrics are of that. Maybe. I don't know. We'll have to see. All right. Next, we're going to Thomas, first of all. Hey, Tom. How you doing, bud? Oh, wait. Hold on. Sorry. Are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Okay, cool. How come you're not in the car? Well, just like you, my daughter plays the drums. So we got the... Oh, couldn't do that. Okay. All right. Hopefully, the audio will be able to pick it up. What is your daughter's name? Gwyneth. Well, let's say hi to Gwyneth. Hey, Gwyneth. How you doing?

Good. How old are you, or what grade are you in, Gwyneth? Fifth grade. You're in fifth grade. How long have you been playing drums? Three, no, four years. Wow. Good for you already. That's really, really cool. Do you have any favorite drummers? I really like Mario from Gojira, and I really like Paulina from The Warning, and wait, I don't know.

Drummer from Paramore? And the drummer from Paramore. All right. And then the drummer from Free Stuffle. Did you say the drummer for Gojira? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. And Pal is the nickname of Paulina from The Warning. She is a great drummer. Do you play any Warning songs? Yeah, I played Money. Nice. And I think I've played like...

Wait, I've also played Sick. Oh, yeah. Great song. All right. So are you going to do just like a little solo for us this morning, Gwyneth? Oh, yeah. All right. Let's see what you got. I'm sorry. Yes, Steve. No, you know that sometimes the sound can get overridden. We may not hear a profession. You can certainly see technique depending on what the deal is. So, yeah, have at it. I hope no one else is sleeping in the house. I'm going to stand way back here just to make sure it's picked up. So here we go. All right. Nice looking drum kit, by the way. All right. Whenever Gwyneth is ready, let's go.

Yeah, we can't hear it at all. There is a setting. Let's see if we can do this. You're not going to be able to. He can't hear you because she's playing and it's really loud. And so unfortunately, we're just getting visuals of what she's doing. And she's really going at it. She's moving fast. She's doing a lot of single strokes on the snare drum and moving around. And I wish we could hear this. Okay. Hold on a second. Thomas, we couldn't hear any of that. Sorry.

So what happens is when you get a really strong signal, it overpowers the microphone. And they have these safeties on a lot of times on phones where you can't hear if it's too loud. Sam says the setting is on. It's still not working. Damn it. By the way, Preston was commenting the technique looks top notch. Yeah, yeah. Oh, wait. You got an electronic kit. We do. If you have a second, we'll give this a shot. And I turned the volume down. Go ahead.

Dude, Tom's spending some money on these kids. Look at this. No, we can't. What the hell is it? Hold on.

She looks good. Yeah, yeah. Well, let's just assume she sounds great. Oh, man. Nope, it's not going to work. All right, all right. I'm sorry, Thomas. No worries. No, but Preston was commenting. Technique and everything looks solid. Yeah. Hey, Gwyneth, keep playing. I wish I could hear you, but unfortunately we can't. But I'm really happy to see, especially girls embracing my favorite instrument. And there are some...

I mean, there's so many great drummers out there, and I hope you become one of the best. Hey, Gwyneth, can you do us a favor? Record on the phone or something? Just do a recording of you playing the drums. I'd love to hear what you sound like. And send it to us. Email it to us. Okay.

All right. We will. All right. Thanks, guys. Sorry about that. All right. We're going to let them go. That's too bad. But he has a full music room set up there. There was keyboard, guitars, two different drum kits. No, I didn't see that part. All right. Well, let's try another one. And not in the car again. We'll go to we'll go to Cindy. Hi, Cindy. Are you there?

Good morning, Gadzooks. Gadzooks. All right, Cindy, we're doing Most Talented Kid in the, quote, car. Yeah. Which was part of the requirements of this, but we'll overlook it today. Whose family owns a car? I can't do it in the car. Why? Why, Hazel? It's dancing and math. She can't dance in the car. Dancing and math?

So, like, if you guys want to, you guys can give me math problems while I dance. Oh, my God. I love this. You can't do that in a car. I'm glad she's not in the car. Wait, wait. Hold on a second. Hold on. Don't start yet. We have to come up with some math problems. I didn't know we were going to have to work. Find out how old she is and what grade she's in so we know what kind of math to give her. Okay. Yeah. How old are you, by the way?

I'm nine and I'm in fourth grade. Nine and in fourth grade. Fourth grade math. Okay. So some multiplication, division, stuff like that? Yeah. Fractions as well. What about pie? How many numbers of pie can you do?

You guys could just give me an improper fraction. We'll start to look it up. I can make it into a mixed fraction. Oh, okay. Wow. All right. You ready for number one? So you can give me an improper fraction, and I can make it into a mixed fraction. I don't even know what that means. So just read what's in front of you here, and we can just talk about it. Oh, yay. All right. Nick found multiplication tablets for kids of her age. All right. Okay. Guys, I have a little fun fact. Okay, please. Okay.

My mom, she was on the show before. What did she do? When you guys were talking about duos, like for movies. Yes. Oh, she called in for that. All right. Well, awesome. And do you remember what duo she said was her favorite?

I don't really remember. That's okay. I was going to ask if she was in our studio to show us a creative way to blow out a candle. Okay, so Hazel, when you're ready, you can start dancing and I will throw some math problems at you, okay? Alright. Oh, wait a minute, Nick, no. This says... It's okay. Alright, start it, Hazel. Here we go. Alright, 4 times what number equals 32? 32.

32. 8. Yes, that's correct. Nick, it doesn't have any answers here. I'm good at fourth grade math. Okay, continue dancing, Hazel. And by the way, she's doing ballet moves. Yeah, very complicated ballet. What times 10 equals 100? 10. What times 12 equals 132? 11. Wow. 7 times 6 equals what?

7 times 6, 42. Yes. What times 9 equals 72? What times 9, 8. Yes. She's still dancing. All right. 11 times 6 equals what? 66. Yes, that's correct. She's nailing it. She just did a pirouette while figuring that one out. All right. And then we'll do one more. What times 12 equals 144?

144.12. Yes! All right! Hazel! Love it! Hazel, that was amazing. I love it. Now, Hazel, I have to ask a question. Is that your bed behind you there in that cage? No, it's not. I assume you have a big dog, though, right? Yes. Yes. Okay. Three dogs. Three dogs. Nice. All right. Well, Hazel, you did great. We are going to give a score, and we'll see if you end up winning something this morning, okay? Thanks for joining us.

No problem. Great job, Hazel. I've never seen an act like that. Well done. No, no. Dance and math. That was good. That was good. It used to be big, but it just kind of went away. Yeah. Like burlesque, it passed. You know, it's not the thing anymore. To do math problems while you're stripping.

All right. Next is we're going to go to I believe it says Grace. It says Sawyer. No, I'm looking here. It says at the bottom, Graham and Sawyer and Grace. So I don't see any video. I see names. Oh, there we go. And we're in a car. Most talented kid in a car. All right. So who am I talking to? Mom. Mom, what's your name?

I can't hear you. Oh, she's muted. You're muted. Unmute yourself, please, if you would, please. She's got to take her glasses off. Mom, what's your name? Good morning. My name's Grace. All right, we have Grace here. And Grace, who's sitting in the back seat? We have Graham. Hi, Graham. And Sawyer. Hi, guys. All right, who's going to be doing the talent?

They are going to do it together. I'm going to hand the phone back. Graham and Sawyer. Graham and Sawyer. All right. And what kind of talent do you guys have? We're scouts, and we can do the scout oath and scout law by memory. All right. Scout oath and scout law by memory. We love it. Believe it or not, I know both of those things. Get out, really. You'll be tested. How old are you kids?

I'm in fifth grade and I'm 10 and my brother here, Sawyer, is five turning six in kindergarten. Okay, perfect. Very nice. All right, so is this Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts or which olds are we doing? I'm a Boy Scout. You're a Girl Scout, okay. He's a Boy Scout, Preston. He's a boy.

I know he's a... No, I... Oh, that's a... Okay. Graham is a boy. Listen, there are all kinds of scouts. Just checking. All right, so you guys are doing this... You just gave me a look, didn't you? Who deserves this? All right. Because he's a drummer. He's a rock star. Rock on, brother. Okay, let's go. When you guys are ready, give us a scout oath and law. Okay, this is the scout oath.

On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country to help others at all times, keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Yeah! And mom, no help. All right. Sorry. And so that is the Scout Oath. What about the Scout Law?

The scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thirsty, brave, clean, and reverent. Very good. Nice. Sawyer and Graham nailed it with a big assistance from Mom. We assume Mom, not Dad, right? We don't know. Yeah, true. I've already messed up. Left and right. All right. Sounds good. We'll see how you guys do. Have a great day at school, okay?

Thank you. You're welcome. And kind, too. So we have one, two, three, four, five so far. We have time for what? Two more? Yeah, there's two more contestants. Two more. All right. And then we will be done. All right. We will go next. We have a split screen here. Split screen. And I believe it says we have Meredith first and foremost. Hi. Which one of you is Meredith? That would be me. Hi. That's mom. How you doing, Meredith? Good. And who's next to you?

Hi, this is Joby. Joby, love that name. How you doing, Joby? My mom's been on the show before. What has she done on our show?

I don't remember. Oh, it was at least 20 years ago. Oh, wow. You would remember my great Dane Zeus before you remembered me. Wow. You'd think, but no. Did you bring Zeus into the show? I don't think Nick, you might not have known. Casey was there. You made Casey run through the door to make him bark. Oh, huh. Did your dog perhaps blow out a candle in a unique way? No.

Okay, so, Joby, what are you going to do? What's your talent? I'm going to bounce the ping pong ball and go outside to do the gritty. You're going to do the gritty while bouncing a ping pong ball? I love it. Okay, so obviously you pulled over. You're going to start in the car and you're going to begin the ping pong thing and then go out of the car and do the gritty, right? Yes. All right, man, when you're ready, Joby.

And I'll describe what I'm seeing here. Okay, he is now bouncing the ping pong ball in the car, sitting inside the car. He's probably done it 15 times by now, maybe even more. Great job, dude. Yes. Oh, yeah. Now he's got to go out. He's going to do the gritty, right? Go do the gritty. All right. Now, can you do the gritty while doing the ping pong ball? We're going to find out. Oh, okay. Now he's outside the car. Let's see it.

Do the gritty. Do the gritty. There he goes. He's doing it up and down the sidewalk. All right, Joby. Nice job, dude. All right, ping pong trick and the gritty. That's what we had Joby do. And we'll let you guys know how the scores come out. All right, let me jot down. Very inventive. All right, gritty.

And then we have, oh my goodness. Hi, guys. Hi. We have one more. Do you recognize me with this long hair? I recognize that voice. It's Kim. Kim. Oh my goodness. Kim the singer. Yes. Hi, guys.

How you doing? These are my kids. I'm good. Oh, my goodness. Your kids are adorable. Thank you. All right. What are their names? We're hanging out in the car. This is Trixie and this is Frankie. Trixie and Frankie. Those are such great names. I love that. Say hi, guys. Hi, guys. Hi.

How old are they, by the way? Trixie just turned two last week, and Frankie is four and a half. All right. Are they doing something together or separate? We're going to sing Chapel Roan's Pink Pony Club. All right, girls. One, two, three. Do you want me to get you started? You're a singer. Pink Pony Club. Come on.

And Trixie's trick is eating a sandwich at the same time as singing. They both are. They're both eating. They look like Hot Pockets. All right, ready, girls? One, two, three, go.

It's funny because before we got on, they were screaming this to the point where I said you have to quiet down. Isn't it their job to make you look like a liar? Is that part of the deal? That was fabulous, guys. Kim...

We love and miss you. Thanks for checking in with us, all right? Kim, you kids look like they're drunk. Kim was our singing telegram, and she and her husband and another singer are the ones that sang the Harry Ball saxophone. Yes. So it goes something like...

This. That's her. That's the high voice. The kids should have done this. Oh, and they get to hear that right now. But probably beeped.

All right. So that's all that we're doing. Most talented kid in the car, sometimes in the car. So thank you to all of our contestants. And I tell you what we're going to have to do. We have our scores all written down here. Let's take a break. Right. And then we will come back and we will announce our winners on the other side. So I assume somebody from Pricewaterhouse is going to take this.

Yeah, we need to have security on it. We don't want anything to be tampered with. So that was fun. I mean, people have so many great kids doing fun things. And it's great to just highlight a little bit. All right, let's take a quick break. Come back in a moment. We'll do the bizarre file. We'll have your chance to win a thousand. Well, oh, man, it's 755 already case. You know what, though?

Hang on. We've got 25 minutes. We're going to be a little late with the keyword. We'll come back and we'll get that and the bizarre file and we'll find out who won the contest. Stay with us.

Indeed it is. And before we get to the bizarre file, I thought this might be a good time to announce our winners of the most talented kid in the car contest that we just did. It was stiff competition. Thank you, kids, for being a part of it. So these three are going to win a $50 point card to Arnold's Family Fun Center.

Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Final.

All right, this morning is brought to you by Family Jewelers and Family and Company Jewelers. Viraggio Bridal Show is going to be April 17th to the 19th. You can save hundreds, maybe even thousands on the ring of her dreams. Family and Company Jewelers is South Jersey's diamond destination. So an Iowa City man was arrested after allegedly driving an excavator while intoxicated.

With the blood alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit. And he's driving an excavator. Dustin Snyder, 40 years old, is charged with second offense operating while intoxicated and driving with a suspended license. Police said that Snyder smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot watery eyes, slurred his speech and was unable to keep his balance. Court documents state that he admitted...

Buying and drinking alcohol and a breath test showed that his BAC was 0.222. By the way, Snyder has prior convictions for DWI from September 2024. His license was suspended March 4th for failing to pay a previous fine. He was released from jail and is required to complete a substance abuse evaluation within 30 days. Let's also complete treatment and provide proof of.

And he also faces charges of domestic abuse stemming from three incidents in July 2024. He's awesome. To which he pleaded guilty. And in August, he was charged with harassment and burglary after allegedly breaking into the same address. Police said they saw him threaten to kill the person inside. How did he get the excavator? I don't. I think it's his job. Okay. Yeah. So unless he stole it, I don't know.

All right, I know there was a terrible, terrible helicopter story in New York yesterday. This one involves a helicopter crash. Everybody was okay. That's good. And I put it in the bizarre file because of the unique situation. A helicopter in South Africa crashed after a penguin nudged the controls. Stop it. Like you can't write this stuff. Okay. What?

The penguin was inside a cardboard box which slipped off the lap of a researcher after the helicopter set off from Bird Island. The penguin box hit the aircraft pitch lever, causing it to tilt violently to the right before the rotor blades smashed into the ground. And the South African authorities have now released a report stating that a crash was caused...

by the penguin. For a few brief seconds, the penguin probably thought, I can fly! The purpose of the flight was to assist a researcher in conducting a survey. After completing the survey, the helicopter landed safely on the island where the researcher requested that a penguin be transported back to the airport. The pilot of the helicopter agreed and the penguin was placed in a cardboard box for the return trip.

Although a risk assessment was carried out before the departure, the pilot did not account for the safe and stable transportation of the penguin. Instead of securing it in a crate, it was placed in a simple cardboard box that sat in the researcher's lap. Once the pilot started the engine and took off about 50 feet from the ground, the cardboard box slid off to the right.

And on to the pilot's cyclic pitch control lever. It resulted in a sudden and violent pitch to the right. The aircraft's rotor blades hit the ground and the helicopter crashed. It was seriously damaged. But luckily, none of the people on board were injured and the penguin also survived. Give me that penguin. Give me that goddamn penguin.

Some meetings aren't necessary and probably could have been an email, but some meetings are obviously justified. Memphis Allies, a community violence intervention program that aims to reduce gun violence, was holding a meeting at a Memphis business park this week.

When gunfire broke out at the scene. I don't think you're understanding the spirit of this meeting. When police arrived, they found one person dead, five others injured, four taken to the hospital. Well, that could have gone better. Yeah, a spokesperson for a different group, Heal 901, told reporters that it was very plausible that the shooting happened because of the meeting. Memphis Allies has vowed to continue working in the community.

Well, there's some hang-ups that can kill you if you're not careful. A man from China developed a fungal lung infection after regularly smelling his own dirty socks when he came home from work every day. So that was his thing. He'd smell his socks. I hate this person. He was hospitalized with a persistent cough and bloodshot eyes.

Doctors diagnosed him with an Aspergillus infection in his lungs. Don't you know there are some times when you enjoy your own stink, right? Yeah, sure. Like your farts. Kathy, you smell your own farts. I mean, you are going to take your dirty sock off from work and smell it? But he's got to be like inhaling. By the way, Steve, a lot of people don't know our nickname for Kathy is the wafter. Yeah. She'll do the...

So do the thing where she actually reaches down and scoops the gas up to her nose. Don't make me hate you guys more than this guy. All right. Doctors got a pair of his dirty socks and they tested, which showed that his socks contained the fungus, likely due to the warm, moist environment inside shoes. He's got the fungus. That promotes fungal growth. I got the fungus. Doctors advised to not get in the habit of smelling dirty socks for fun.

Which is advice that they probably never thought they'd have to actually give to anyone. Dude, yeah. It's a little too much. All right, we'll end with this one. This is very interesting. So I'm wondering if you're ready for Chrissy Forever. Advancements in AI and changes in California law are transforming the way that deceased celebrities' legacies are managed and monetized. Two companies named Realbotics...

So do they, like, just gloss right over Gandhi?

I guess so. California's AB 1836 law went into effect on January 1st and extends post-mortem rights to include AI-generated digital replicas of dead people. That's wild. Now, Alan Hamill, Summer's widower and partner in buying Thighmaster back in the day, says that he and Suzanne...

talked before she died about the possibility of, quote, reactivating her. So they might do that. Hamill's always been a guy who knew how to make a buck. Yep, and there you go. That is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. Yep. All right, let us take a quick break. We're going to come back in a moment. We'll get into connoisseur time. We have a special contributor that will jump in during the connoisseur, but we got stuff to give away and things to talk about. So we'll come back with that in a moment. Stay with us.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Kathy. It is Friday morning, and it's time to eat. Time for the connoisseur again with a special guest. Yes, this is the second time only we've ever had a special guest in the connoisseur segment, and we're happy to do it. It's like trying to get a good table at a great restaurant. I mean, the connoisseur is so in demand. Well, and this is all homegrown, too, because I have a copy.

in front of me of Philadelphia Magazine, which I'll show to our YouTube audience and everybody watching this morning. And it's called Welcome to Cheesesteak 2.0. That's the cover story. Yeah, that's a mother of a cheesesteak on the cover. It is, and we're going to welcome a features editor of Philadelphia Magazine, Mr. Bradford Pearson. He's joining us today. Good morning, Brad.

Hey, thanks for having me, guys. Second only special guest ever. That's pretty impressive, I've got to say. I'm going to add that to my resume. There you go. Please add it there. All right, so this article is all about the evolution of the cheesesteak, meaning that we're going to new places that we haven't been with this sandwich. Now, what's been the reaction to this so far, Brad?

Well, you know, I mean, people are pretty defensive about their cheesesteaks and their cheesesteak style. So everybody, you know, Philly, we're kind of stuck in our ways a little bit. But I think so some folks have been like, oh, I don't want cilantro on my cheesesteak. That's that's ridiculous. But, you know, a lot of people have really said like, OK.

Oh, here's, you know, 20 different cheesesteaks around the city and in the suburbs that maybe I do want to try now. You know, it's interesting because, listen, I've always loved a good cheesesteak. A lot of times I prefer to go for like a chicken cheesesteak. That's considered sacrilege in many quarters.

But I haven't really had a cheesesteak in quite a long time. But anything like this, looking at some of the things that you highlight and some of the riffs on it, I'm like, okay, maybe it's time to revisit the cheesesteak. So in a way, this will help prolong the legend of the cheesesteak.

Yeah, I think – I mean, you know, cheesesteaks are the kind of thing, you know, to your point, I don't really eat that often because a lot of times you end up being like, okay, I got meat, cheese, and bread again. And next thing I know, I'm asleep for three hours. But, you know, some of these ones are real riffs on – you know, if you look at a picture of it, you think, wait, this isn't a cheesesteak. When you get down to the bones of it, there's meat and cheese. And, yeah, maybe there's some papaya salad or there's some jalapenos or some different –

different touches whether it's mexican touches or cambodian or haitian but in the end what it comes down to is does this taste delicious and if it does i'm going to keep eating it yes i'm totally like the notion of a jalapeno or something that's a little bit more spicy in there i i don't go for super hot things but anything to jazz it up a bit i'm all on board yeah

And it breaks up sort of the monotony of it, right? It breaks up the, okay, here's the three elements that we're always going to have in a cheesesteak. And there's times when I want something to sort of break through the meat and cheese and sort of the gloopiness of a cheesesteak in the same way that a hoagie's got tomatoes and

and pickles or whatever you need on it to cut through the meat. Yeah. All right, Brad. So in order to make this a cover story in Philadelphia Magazine, this has had to have been brewing for a little while, and then you guys start to take notice, and you're like, hey, we need to feature this. How long ago did you start seeing rumblings of an accepted cheese steak that has some extra accoutrement on it? Yeah, I mean, I think...

In the past, you know, whatever, five, eight years, the thing that's really set this off is when Angelo's opened on 9th Street in the Italian market. Okay. And that was the first time that the cheesesteak sort of went from, oh, you know, we sort of have this squishy roll, some really finely chopped steak.

and American cheese or provolone maybe, and has become really transformed. When Danny started making his own bread, he started using Cooper Sharp, all these different things that really elevated the cheesesteak. That sort of set the wheels in motion and

And then other people start making their own bread. Other people start using Cooper Sharp cheese. And that's really what set this off. I think that the changing up of the cheese is okay. I think that that doesn't change the format of the cheesesteak. Now, I know there are traditional ones and there's the controversy of people who – I don't know if you want to call it controversy – whiz or –

or Provolone. But I think, yeah, why not try some... If you wanted to do Feta or Gorgonzola or something different to make it... But then when you start adding...

sun-dyed dried tomatoes and avocado and things like that. That gets a little branch away from it a little bit for me. Is this going to be a tough sell on the blue-collar Philadelphian? Oh, interesting. I mean, I think that Philadelphians in general are sort of, their tastes are changing, right? And I mean, I think that, you know, I live in South Philly and a lot of these cheesesteak riffs are in South Philly and that's because

There's new people that are living down here. We have Mexican cheesesteaks. We have Cambodian cheesesteaks. And these are different communities that are putting their own spin on this traditional sandwich. Maybe the cheesesteak egg roll started to open the door for people a little bit. It could be it because that's a standard. Yeah, because you can find that in pretty much any pub now when you go out.

Yeah, I mean, to the point earlier, you know, cheese steaks, chicken cheese steaks at first were viewed as just sort of sacrilege. Oh, I know. I caught hell for that. But I'll tell you this. It's funny because I think there is a charm to the reticence in many ways because everyone locks and loads.

For some, it's the bread. For some, it's the cheese, as Preston was saying. For some, it's the slice, how thinly sliced the meat is. All of those are things, but it does show a sense of ownership. So I tend to think, yeah, you want to throw some stuff on it? Let's take a crack at it. But I love, and you have to, tongue-in-cheek-wise, be sort of enjoying the conflict that these things can cause. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, that's why you put something interesting on the cover of a magazine, right? You want people to talk about the things that you're talking about in your magazine. Because if not, like, what's the point of putting this out? Right, right, right. And you know what? Talk about it. I also think that, like, you can only sort of, like, this has to start here in Philadelphia. Like, if people in other cities started doing this. We'd kill them. We'd kill them. You can't do that to a G-Stick. Yeah.

We would write about the other people messing it up. Who was the politician a few years ago that lost the Philly vote because he came here and he got a cheesesteak with lettuce and tomato? You guys remember this? Mayo, lettuce, tomato on it. Was it Dr. Oz that did that? No, no, it was years before. It was years before. I remember there's a picture of him. John Kerry screwed up. John Kerry, that was it. Yes. Yes.

Yeah. And so, but now have we moved past that? Do we think? I'll tell you what, my wife, she, um, she always gets it. It's called a cheesesteak hoagie and that's what she does. Okay. And I think that's okay because she's from here. Right, right, right, right, right.

And that's the thing. I think that if I was to walk up and say, oh, maybe I want Swiss cheese on a hoagie today, people might look at me a little sideways, but it's not going to make national news. John Kerry's showing up at Pat's and trying to eat a cheesesteak with Swiss like he's eating a hot dog, holding it out like it's...

a foot long, that's immediately going to go south. It's funny though because pizza has recently gone through a little bit of a latitude or an acceptance with the Detroit style coming into town and being very popular. So I think it was only inevitable that the cheesesteak would get a rebirth as well. I mean, I think about back like I went to St. Joe's and graduated in 06. I think about what pizza was like back then in, you know, the

early 2000s how much better Philadelphia pizza has gotten and translated and transformed a little bit here and there to sort of become a place where now it's like we got all these different kinds of pies and I think the same thing is happening with cheese sticks. Bradford, real quick, A, have you been to Donkeys in New Jersey and B, if so, what are your thoughts? I have not been, but what I will say is that that is the one thing that I think I can't

wrap my head around is a different shaped role. Ah, the Kaiser. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that's me being like too protective of the sort of long role. I understand. That's to me. That's the one thing. I understand the protection and I'm not dissuading you from it, but give it a shot because it is so damn good. I love the taste of it. Yeah. Yeah.

That's one that I haven't been able to check off yet. All right. So, Brad, we got to wrap up. But in the article, you guys cover some of the more adventurous takes on the cheesesteak and where you can get them. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think right now the one that is on the cover that everyone's going to really want to try is the Sabi Food cheesesteak, which is at FDR's Southeast Asian Market every weekend. The lines go around the park. It's awesome. It's on the road.

papaya salad. It's got cilantro. It's a really great sandwich. So that's the one that I would tell everybody to look out for. It looks pretty awesome. Hey, Brad, thanks for being a guest contributor on the Condesour segment this morning. We appreciate it, man. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. You got it.

A guest on the connoisseur. So we send him on his way. But they have, like I said, a variety of different ones that you can go and look that kind of have a maybe like a Mexican flavor or an Italian flavor or, you know, a bunch of different types for you to order.

All right, we're going to do our first clip. And by the way, our sponsor, the connoisseur, Acme Market. And we have $50 gift cards to give away for those who can answer our movie question, which is, what film is this clip from? And it has to do with food. So we're going to play this one. And remember, text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. You'll have the link. And then you can click on that link if you think you know the answer to what movie this is. You're going to be Benjamin's monkey boy the rest of your life? Is that it?

Benjamin's my friend. Benjamin is no one's friend. If Benjamin were an ice cream flavor, he'd be pralines and d***. That's so good. All right, let's see if we know a movie that's from Order Up.

I actually, we're going to, no, I'm going to move. No? Well, I have a Philly section, and we just did a very Philly thing, so I'm going to skip that, and I'll come back, and I will do a Philly section. Right now, we're going to the bar, folks. We're headed to the bar. All right. Get your orders ready. I have a list of the most expensive cocktails in the world. The most expensive cocktails in the world. Yeah, I may only have time to get to five of these. Oh, yeah, excuse me. Barkeep.

No, but we'll start with... I'll go through the top five. Most expensive, okay? One, two, three, four, five.

You'll never have one of these, Kathy. Oh, why? The least expensive one is $10,000. Don't you know who I am? So it's called the Martin on the Rocks. This is found at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City. I've been. The drink, did you have this? I did not. It's the Martini on the Rock. So this drink is the most customizable on the list, being served as a martini in any desired form and with any desired diamond.

Reservations for the drink must be made at least 72 hours in advance and requires meeting with the hotel's resident in-house jeweler to discuss the diamond size and clarity. So they actually put a diamond in the drink. So to me, this is like saying I'll have a scotch and soda with a battleship. Yeah. Okay, that'll be, you know, $1 billion. It's like you're adding on something special.

I'm curious about the drinks that are made of such expensive ingredients besides the diamond. But I'll give you those. Do you leave with the diamond? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, all right. Here's one. It's called the One Cocktail, and you'll find it at XS Nightclub in Las Vegas. It's also $10,000. But it does come with some extras, Steve. But the cocktail includes two very expensive ingredients. 1981 Charles...

Heidsick Champagne Charlie and the Louis XIII DeRivier Martin Black Pearl Cognac. Yeah, that sounds expensive. Yeah. Louis XIII you usually see at the very, very top shelf and it's got a light on it. Yes, yes. So it makes up the bulk of the eye-watering price tag. Alongside this, it features...

It features a sense nectar, rose extract, freshly squeezed orange juice and apricot puree. And it comes in a jewel encrusted glass and with an 18 carat gold necklace. There you go. With a Tahitian black pearl and Mont Blanc gold and leather cuff links. So yeah, you get some extras. Yeah. It was like a good pair of cuff links with my favorite drinks. Then at the St. Regis Dubai, uh,

It is the Mero Martini. Welcome to the St. Regis. This will cost you $12,000. Perhaps the most unconventional entrant on the list is a smoked heirloom tomato mezcal martini, which arrives, you know, like mezcal. Oh, it's smoky. I can't. I don't understand it. Which is so weird because it's pretty close. Come on, loosen up, baby. It's pretty close to tequila, is it not? It is, but it's smoky. Oh. Very smoky. All smoky.

All tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila? Or the other way around? Something like that. Something like that. So it arrives with a nine-carat diamond necklace. There you go. It's finished with a bone marrow ice cube. Jesus Christ. Adding a unique and rich flavor. And it was created just last year. What did it get the bone marrow from? A recently deceased human? Maybe. All right, two more of these. And yes, Steve, these all come with expensive add-ons. Okay, now I got it.

This one is at the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo. It is called Diamonds Are Forever. And it was inspired by the James Bond films. It is made with absolute elix vodka and lime juice and served with a one-carat diamond at the bottom of the glass. Diamonds are forever. Perhaps most amusingly, it is accompanied tableside by a live band's rendition of the song...

Diamonds are forever. I'm not quite sure how much of the price tag the musical accompaniment accounts for, but it costs $20,300 if you want that. $20,300. Come on. But obviously, you know, I assume you'd have to consult with people before you order this drink. Yes. And then the most expensive one is out of Dubai. It's called the Baccarat Ex Patronum.

In honor of Baccarat's 260th anniversary, the luxury crystal Maison teamed up with Patron and Nahate to create a cocktail that was auctioned off for over double the price of the world's previous prices. This will cost you $41,000. See, the people of Dubai find this excessive and the Abu Dhabi do. Created...

Created by renowned mixologist Salvatore Calabrizi and featuring 1950 Kina Lillet and 1930s Angostura bitters alongside a showpiece Patron Tequila. The cocktail was served to the winning bidder in one of the rarest 1937 Baccarat crystal glasses ever crafted.

and there are only two in existence in the world. I'm completely lost with the liquors. I have no, you know, these seem to be super high end. The drink formed the highlight of the event billed as the world's most luxurious cocktail event. The

I mean, the alcohol is not this expensive. I think, you know, like you said, on one of them, you have to meet with the hotel manager. Like, if you're buying that, you're probably not paying for dinner. You're probably staying the night. You know what I mean? There's other things that come in with it. They're throwing in other perks. I think the thing to do would be to take some really basic, like, Five Alive and serve it in one of these, you know. Sunny D. Sunny D. The purple stuff. The purple stuff or Sunny D. All right. In a $50,000 goblet. As long as you shake it up, put it in a nice glass and garnish it.

You can charge whatever you want for it. I wonder if you could pass Sunny Delight off as a trendy hip drink at like the Algonquin and, you know, as you say, dress it up. Oh, my God. What was that? I'll put a diamond on the bottom of it. Yeah. There you go. Diamonds on my Sunny D. All right. Let's see if we can get somebody to answer what film this is from. You're going to be Benjamin's monkey boy the rest of your life? Is that it? Benjamin's my friend. Benjamin...

is no one's friend. If Benjamin were an ice cream flavor, he'd be pralines and d***. Alright, so we're going to Jody. Hi there, Jody. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning to see you, Jody. All right. What movie is that from? Wayne's World? Yeah. Well done. Case, we're going to give her a prize, right? Yeah. Jody, you just won yourself a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. All right. Let's cue up another clip, and we'll see if somebody can identify what food clip this or what.

movie this food clip is from. Here we go. What are you doing? Chocolate snack must be poured directly over popcorn.

That way you get that delicious, salty, sweet mixture. And a little melted chocolate. Sometimes you gotta break the rules. You never know when you're gonna get something inspired. Do you know what that is from? Text word Zune 610-6609-333 and we'll see if you can answer it. And while you're doing that, order up. Another story. Alright, this is all, these are three Philly stories. This is a Philly roundup is what we have. I don't have a fast food roundup this week, so we'll do a, yeah. Yeah! We'll do a Philly roundup. Love it.

Two, Philadelphia area pizzoli. I don't know how you pronounce that. People who make pizza. Yeah. Won awards at the recent International Pizza Challenge, also known as the World Pizza Championship at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. Why did I not know that this was going to happen?

that this existed. I know. It's an international case, too, and I was looking at pictures of the thing. Wow. You would have a seizure. David Lebrano, the Nepalese-born co-owner of the Pizzata Pizzeria locations in Center City and South Philadelphia, won the category for Best Recipe

Roman-style pizza, which I don't think I've ever had Roman-style pizza, at least not knowingly before. So my wife has been to Italy a number of times and says, I think, in Rome, said she had some of the absolute best pizza she's ever had in her life. Yeah, same, in Rome. So it has a thin and crispy but airy crust. Is that what you experienced? Yeah, it's nothing like here. So he placed second among the field of 60 bakers in the overall pan division, which...

which includes all pizzas made in baking trays such as Detroit, Sicilian, and Roman style. Okay. It looks like it's more rectangular in shape. I was just going to say, and they don't cut it into triangles. It's all square.

That's how you do it. I grew up on square cup pizza. Lebrano and business partner Vinnie Gallagher will sell the winning pie, which includes mushrooms, prosciutto, stracciatelle, and truffle caviar pearls for $40 from 4 to 10 p.m. April 17th by dine-in reservation only at Pizzata Pizzeria and Barber's.

I'm going to mess these words up. Barzini, Luca Brasi. Bararia, I think is how you say that. It feeds three to four people. Now, also, Ben Tobin of Mezzaluna KSQ in Kennett Square.

was third among 110 competitors in the non-traditional division with his Detroit-style Reuben pizza, which takes after the sandwich. So it's a non-traditional style. His wife, Samantha, won ninth place in the Northeast division and 24th overall among 75 competitors. That's pretty amazing for the area. For the New York-style cheese pizza category. They're offering the winning pizzas...

for the rest of the month. And the Poconos were represented at the expo as well. Really? Because I've never gotten a good pizza. In the Poconos, right? I just can't. So please, tell me where. You ever been to Nesquihoning before? The freak? Okay, yeah. It's near Jim Thorpe. Okay. So Tony Caramilli of the New Columbus Pizza Company won the

Best of the Best, a culinary competition open to past and present winners of Pizza Maker of the Year. The best of the best. Yeah, because in 2025, that winner was Ryan Azoski of D-Town Pizzeria in Los Angeles. Look at this picture. It's a beautiful pizza, Preston. So that's great, and they did really, really well in the international competition.

So Casey, you've made it sort of a life goal to sample as many pizzas as you can. Preston, do pizzas register high on your need to explore list or you get it when you get it and that's it? I get it when I get it, but I love, I do love pizza. Yes. I haven't been eating it much lately. I've been keeping an eye on my, you know, on my- Yeah, just everything that I've been eating. And so I just have been staying away from pizza, but-

Yeah, man, I've become just a fanatic about Detroit-style pizza. It is just... Good stuff. I'm telling you. You can't eat much of it because it's so filling, but man, is the flavor through the roof. You got to try. I mean, and it's frozen, but Detroit City, I think it's... No, it might be called Motor City. Okay. It's so good. Goat's Beard and Wayne, Preston.

Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. Kathy, I had a great one at Daisy Tavern. The Daisy Tavern. Same owners? Same owners as Goat's Beard, yeah. Yeah, it was great. I loved it. They called it the OG. It was fantastic. All right, here's another Philly story. Over three dozen of Philadelphia's top restaurants and chefs are coming together for one special night to raise funds...

for services to the region's immigrant community. The Garces Foundation, our good friend, Jose Garces, presents Latin Night Market, celebrating immigrant contributions to Philadelphia's incredible food scene. Iron Chef Jose Garces and Foundation co-founder Dr. Beatriz Garces

We'll host an event filled with flavors, immigrant-made art, vibrant music, photo opportunity, silent live auction, and more. So this is coming up May 8th, and it'll be at Live Casino and Hotel. Oh, wow. Yeah, guests will enjoy unlimited bites and sips while they mix and mingle for a great cause. Restaurants, I'll just mention a few that are highlighted. Alice Amada, Amy's Pastillos, Da Vinci & You. We talked about them not that long ago, Da Vinci & You.

Fiorella, Gas in Maine, Jen Carroll, our friend. We love Jen Carroll. Juana Tamale, Morimoto, like a whole bunch of restaurants. Tickets are on sale now. Organizers are aiming to break a record this year. I don't know where you get tickets. I didn't see that in this particular story that I saw. You click your heels together. So just you can do a quick search.

And like I said, it's going to be at Live Casino. And it is called the Latin Night Market. And then one more Philly story. The airport is getting more great restaurants. This is a big thing. So Randy Rucker of River Twice and Little Water is the latest local chef to set up shop at the Philadelphia International Airport where he's designing a menu for American Airlines' new flagship lounge.

Currently under construction for a summer opening, Rucker joins a growing number of Philly chefs, restaurants, and brands branching out of the airport. Middle Child, whose own menu collaboration recently began rolling out in the Chase Sapphire Lounge, recently announced a full-blown third location set to open in Terminal D this fall. And Oyster House and Federal Donuts and Chicken remain on track for a spring-summer opening and the B.C. Connector. By the way, when we were going to Clearwater...

We got there early and I had time to roam around a little bit. I want to walk around and get some exercise. And I went down the D terminal, which is where like Delta and Frontier and those guys fly out of. So I don't go down there because I usually fly either American or Southwest. And number one, wait.

Way less crowded, way few people down in the D Terminal, and some food options that I did not know were available. Here's something I think, you know, so if you're going to put these fine-ass establishments in the airport, there should be a way to access them without...

Having to go in the airport. Go to the airport. Marissa, you fly out of the D Terminal a lot, right? Yes, I do sometimes actually at E or F. So I take the train down, I take SEPTA, and I'll get off early and then walk through one of those terminals and walk through to check them all out. But Randy Rucker, who you mentioned, the American Airlines, he's amazing. He's the chef of my favorite restaurant, chef owner. My new favorite restaurant called Little Water in Rittenhouse. It is phenomenal.

Highly recommend it to everybody. All right. Let's play the clip again and see if we can get a winner. What are you doing? Chocolate snack must be poured directly over popcorn. That way you get that delicious, salty, sweet mixture. And a little melted chocolate. Sometimes you got to break the rules. You never know when you're going to get something inspired. All right. Let's go via Zoom to Brandy. She's a fine girl. We got her on the line here. Hi, Brandy. Hi. All right, Brandy. What movie is that? First Daughter.

I have the list of the top U.S. casual dining chain restaurants. This is a new report from Restaurant Business. So we had one a while ago that seemed to include all sorts of places that we are not familiar with. But let's see if this hits a little closer. You'll know every single one of these. Every goddamn one. Yeah, so these are the top U.S. casual dining chain restaurants. And...

Not like fast casual like a Chipotle. No, no, no. This is more sit down. Okay. So the chain that came in, we'll start at number one. Number one on this list, my restaurant, Texas Roadhouse. Yeah. You love Texas Roadhouse. I do. I've said many times why I love it. It's fairly inexpensive and the quality you get for the money, you can't beat it. Why don't they advertise with us? You cannot beat it. I don't know. I mean, they get it for free. Damn good question. Well, yeah.

I don't do it all the time. No. But anyway, last year, Texas Roadhouse enjoyed a 14.7 increase in sales, bringing in $5.5 billion from their 664 locations. They took the original title from Olive Garden, which has held and they've held it since 2018. That's pretty cool. They also opened 26 new locations last year. So they're one of the few restaurants. So they've got advertising money. Expanding. And they have advertising money. Yeah.

Number two is Olive Garden. Number three is Chili's. All right. Then you have Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Longhorn Steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse, which apparently I was reading an article recently is sliding in its popularity. Then you have Cheesecake Factory, Red Lobster, and Red Robin to round out the top ten. Love Red Robin. Yeah. Yeah.

Yo, I want to go back to Chili's. That was third on your list, I believe. The chips and salsa that they give you at Chili's is fantastic. I don't know if you guys... I remember it. I don't remember being blown away by it. See, I like a nice crispy... Well, I mean, all chips are crispy. Like thin chip and... It rocks your world? It rocks my world. They're often fresh. Yes. They make them and then bring them right up. The chips themselves, I mean... That makes a difference. Yeah. Preston, could you just do the list again real quick? Yeah. Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, Chili's, Applebee's.

Buffalo Wild Wings, Longhorn Steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse. Number eight, it's the Cheesecake Factory. Then you have Red Lobster and Red Robin. Do you guys like Buffalo Wild Wings? Because I do, but it's... I don't think I've ever been. I've never been there. I've gone to watch a sporting event, which is, you know, it's a great sports bar or whatever.

Um, but you know what you're getting when you go there. Right. Wings. Yeah. And or maybe a chicken sandwich or whatever. So not a, a, a bash menu. There's not a ton. I mean, I guess there's some variety or whatever. Yeah. But like, it's basically like you want to go and have a beer and wings. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Beyond that. Yeah. I guess you're there more for the, for that, for that. Exactly. Yeah. What's missing on that top 10 that I'm surprised, uh, you went, tell me what wingies, uh, Fridays isn't on there. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't even see them anymore, guys. What about the one across the street that Iverson used to go to all the time? I think that closed a long time ago. What? Listen, I don't know. I don't pay attention. I'll tell you what they did a reefer upon is the Olive Garden over here in the Acme Shopping Center. I think...

Listen, I don't go all the time, but Olive Garden has been... Again, I say you're going to get some fine-ass lasagna. It's Americanized Italian food. Yes. It's good. Casey, it is still there. 4000 City Avenue. Okay.

Wait, when you go to, oh, okay, that's, sorry, that's Philadelphia. When you go to locations, if you put Philadelphia in, there's only one listed. So that's it? I think that is the only one in the Philadelphia area. I wonder if Iverson still goes there because I saw Iverson there as well. No, I saw him at David Buster's. No, like if I'm looking at our area, there's one, yeah, in Philadelphia, there's one up like, you know, in between Elkins Park and Croydon.

Pemberton and Sicklerville area. Well, anyway, it's not in the top ten anymore. Sorry to break the news to you. Let's see if you can identify what movie this is from. What's wrong with her? Get up here and eat your broccoli. I think it's my prostate. We will go to Melissa joining us with her puppy. Hi, Melissa. How are you doing? Good morning. How are you? Who's your co-pilot there?

There we go. Order up. So, for the first time, Star Wars Celebration is being held in Japan this year. The new location. So, this is a big event. Yes. The new location is exciting all on its own, and it's going to feel even more special with a food hall selling exclusive, authentic food.

dishes for Star Wars. Lucasfilm posted the menu on Friday, which features this past Friday a little something from all three film trilogies and The Mandalorian. So for OG fans, you get the It's a Trap Takeyaki, which are octopus balls. No. Nope. Nope. Nope. Is that what he was referencing in the movie? Maybe. But don't you think Admiral Ackbar would eat octopus balls? Absolutely. Yeah.

It's octopus balls. Then they have Wookiee yakisoba noodles. It's a group of balls. And

And light and dark onigiri balls. They love their balls in Japan. Boy, a guy sure loves to eat balls. Admiral Ackbar is a member of the Mon Calamari species, so calamari and octopus balls make sense. There's your Star Wars nerd fact for the day. But he would eat them? I don't know. I would not eat my own balls. It sounds like that is his own... His species is Mon Calamari. Yeah.

So it is, yeah, it's in there. So maybe, Nick, maybe he would not be inclined to eat the balls because they're too close to his own balls. And Nick, what is the home world of Chewbacca? Kashyyyk. Kashyyyk, of course, yes. Are there any female Mon Calamari in the Star Wars universe? You don't see Admiral's wife at all. No. You know? What the hell's going on there? What if her vagina smelled like human? Okay. I don't know.

Thank you, Casey. So prequel lovers can get the forbidden love onigiri balls. Balls? Jar Jar Men noodles. Hey, by the way, you have anything in here that's not balls? Yeah, the Jar Jar Men noodles. Or...

Or drinks inspired by Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, and Yoda. What's this in my drink? Oh, it's balls. Sequel heads can similarly sip on some Rey and Kylo Ren themed soda and iced coffee. Oh, my balls. They don't get much in the way of food. Finally, there is the in-between treats like chicken for Grogu.

Droids printed on Monaca wafers. And Warabi Mochi inspired by everyone's favorite Sandy Hellhole Tatooine. So this is the first ever Star Wars Celebration Food Hall. And it's fitting Lucasfilm uses the occasion to celebrate Japanese food. There's a lot of Japan in Star Wars. They don't have any Sarlacc. Which has recently looped back around to letting Japanese consumers.

take their own swing at the franchise with Star Wars Visions, whose third season will once again feature shorts exclusively from exclusively Japanese studios. Did they miss the mark? Isn't a boba like a thing? Yeah. In drinks. It's Korean, right? It's true. By the way, I think these balls are like crab balls. Oh, not testicles. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not really the actual testes of... I mean, you'd run out of nuts after all. We got no more balls.

Alright, we'll play this clip again and see if you know what movie it's from. Who wants to eat some delicious chicken wings and get crazy? Chicken wings? I love chicken wings. Hey, who wants to share a croissant with this guy? Croissants, I love croissants. Oh yeah, I sure do love giant sausages. Giant sausages, no way. Alright, we'll go to Ashley. Hey there, Ashley. Hey guys, how you doing? We are great. So, do you know what movie that's from?

That's from the Lego movie. Yes, it is. Hang on. And we're going to give you that gift card from our friends at Acme. I got a case. $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry, Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme fresh foods, local flavors. One final clip to play. Then we'll move on. Let's see if you know what movie this is.

This is from... Well, hey, the meal of the century looks like it's just about ready. So it's time for spice. Yes, it's spice time. And the lucky spice is paprika! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've made me the happiest spice in the world. I prefer the hot dog scene from that movie. That one's good, too. All right, let's see if we know what movie that is from. Order up.

All right, we're going to wrap up the way you normally do at a good meal is with a nice cup of coffee. And coffee-loving scientists at the University of Pennsylvania.

have cooked up a way to make your coffee grounds go further because coffee prices are up. So it's led by physicist Arnold Matheson. I already trust him. And PhD student Ernest Park. The team applied fluid mechanics to not only extract maximum flavor from fewer beans, but also to make the perfect cup of joe.

After determining that a pour-over is the best method for a great brew, they got to work nerding out on the science of how water moves through coffee. Their findings recently published in Physics of Fluids. Oh, my God. Use high-speed cameras. I love that xenophobes. High-speed cameras, transparent filters, and even laser-illuminated particles to visualize how water interacts with coffee grounds. The result, a simple science-backed guide to making the most efficient coffee.

and flavorful brew. So, Gene Lee, I do not like a powerful coffee. I don't like, like, a really dark...

Yeah, strong. I want it on the lighter side. Yeah, but lighter actually has more caffeine. You know, the darker the roast, the same flavor. Yeah, it's the roast and how they cook it, so to speak, I guess. So here's how to brew better pour over coffee, scientifically speaking. All right. So you pour slowly, but not too slowly. Okay.

A longer pour increases extraction, but too slow and the grounds don't mix evenly.

You have to raise your pour height. A higher pour creates a faster water stream stirring the grounds and boosting flavor. Does it also up the splash factor? Yes, it would. Son of a bitch. Keep the stream steady. Don't let the water break into droplets. Maintain a smooth, continuous stream or a laminar flow. Laminar. We call it. I'm from laminar. Use a gooseneck kettle if possible. Yeah. It gives you better control over stream size and speed and

And also it says, avoid streams that are too thin. If the stream is too weak, it won't properly stir the grounds, leading to weak coffee. I don't think I've ever had pour-over coffee before. Not to the best of my knowledge, no. Usually you're putting the grounds in. You know what I want to get and I should get because they're not expensive is a French press. So I've noticed a difference with a French press. I do like the French press coffee. Yeah.

what i won't drink french french press uh only because i know i nope no no more debt no i no one has any idea um you know how sometimes i talk about whenever we talk about vegas i told you i went to vegas and then i went to the airport early to get the hell out of there because i couldn't stand the city um i also couldn't stand oh man i hope this doesn't offend anyone um

I had to get out of there for other reasons. Anyway, when we were there, we stayed with someone and I asked for, we asked for a cup of coffee in the morning. Like, hey, you know, is there any coffee or whatever? And she goes, I only have French press. So you guys can go out and get coffee. What? So I literally hate French press because of that girl. Because of that person, because of that attitude. Get out.

Why would she not want to share French press? Who would you want to offer French press? It was a bizarre...

trip and and i didn't know the girl and i met her there and like it was very weird and and that was one of the things she also stole my bra um yeah while you were wearing it no no steve not while i was wearing it after maybe she was using that as the coffee filter it was so weird she was like i only have french press like as if like you won't you won't like it it's french press where were you staying at her house

Oh, you can't say? Yes, yes. At her house. Nick, yes. It was at her house. That's an interesting. All right, but I got to stick to your guns, man. Okay. Hey, before we get a winner, I would like to add something to the connoisseur because I made a recipe that I found on Instagram yesterday. This is a hack. Yes, it's not a hack, but Preston, I told you about this yesterday because I know you're a huge pickle fan, but I made a spicy dill egg salad yesterday. Mm-hmm.

And it's approaching world famous status. It is really, really good. It's just hard-boiled eggs. I actually, and because Acme is the sponsor of the connoisseur, I got the signature brand spicy dill chip pickles that are in the, like it's in a refrigerated section by the deli. So I used a half a cup of those pickles. I chopped those up, threw up some diced pickled jalapenos, hard-boiled eggs, some avocado, some mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and it was awesome.

Awesome. Wow. Put this recipe up on, do we have our website, don't we? I think we might have a website. I'll put it up on there. Put it up on there. You have been getting more and more adventurous. I'm trying. What has been happening? Does something inspire you? I think ultimately I'm trying to eat more whole foods. And in order to do that, I need to prepare more. Okay.

Casey, I'm not a huge pickle guy or fan, as you know, but I want to try this. This sounds really... And I like egg salad. So I think that this might work my way into the dill world. Oh.

I want to give it a shot. That sounds really good. All right. What was your gas like the next day after that? Well, it's today. Oh, it's today. Oh, boy. Lucky you. So we'll see. Okay. Well, I'll let you know. All right. Let's see if somebody knows what movie this clip is from. Well, hey, the meal is interesting. Looks like it's just about ready. So it's time for spice. Yes, it's spice time. And the lucky spice is... Michael, Michael, Michael, you've been the happiest spice in the world.

All right, we're going to go to Nancy. Hi, Nancy. Good morning. All right, Nancy, what movie is that from? Would that be The Bachelor?

Yes. That's a party. Yes. That is correct. Hang on because we're going to give you a $50 Acme Market gift card. Hungry in a hurry. Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery and Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes. Less fast, fresh, right to your door. Acme. Fresh foods, local flavors. I think Tom Hanks improvised that scene. No doubt. I saw him talking about that one time and how much he loved that particular scene. You know...

Adrian Zamed, we talked about the movie when he came in. Yeah, a lot of improv going on on that set. Before we go to commercial, two quick updates. There are Lady Mon Calamari. They are dancers in the Star Wars universe. Thank you, Nick Murphy. Ha, ha, ha.

Nick Murphy texted me and let me know about that. And Steve, you brought this up earlier. There is Sunny D Vodka Seltzer available at Acme Market. So you can go to your Acme on City Avenue and pick up a four pack of Sunny D Vodka Seltzers. Yeah, they're only $10.99 each for the four pack. You can get those at Acme? I sure can. That's hilarious. Sunny D Vodka Seltzer. Wow. All right. That's it for...

Connoisseur game. Hope you got something out of that. We had a chunky one with a guest and everything. Thanks to Brad Pearson from Philadelphia Magazine for being on as well. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. Don't forget, we got another shot at $1,000 coming up at 10 a.m. with 20 money.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. I would like to do, you know what I have not done? A couple of shout outs and I apologize because some of these things I should have done in advance. I apologize. Thank you. Yes. And one of them I'm actually going to lead with is I want to give a shout out.

To former WMMR employee, actually this entire cluster, he did a gazillion things as far as work goes around here. Greg Monahan. Yes. Who is, as we speak, did you see the email? I did see it, yes. He is at Rivers Casino auditioning for Shark Tank. Yes. And he has some tiki tables he's going to show them.

And Greg says that there are thousands of people in line. No doubt. And he said that there are tons of Preston and Steve show fans that are in line as we speak. So, yeah, he's really trying to pull every trick out of the book. A lot of Mark Cuban stuff up there. But he's, yeah, he's charismatic. I hope he gets it. Yes, he could very well. I don't know. What's his invention? Do we know specifically? I said it's tiki tables. His tables. That's what it is. Okay, I get it now. All right. Yep. So, and if anybody knows...

Tiki Lifestyle. He does, man. Monaghan, dude. He lives that lifestyle. So a shout out to everybody in line, especially Greg Monaghan. Go get it, dude.

All right. And then a couple more things, a couple of other charts. It says, Hey, Preston, I hope you guys well. I'm a former Y100 intern from my college days, a really long time ago and a long time listener. I help coordinate programming for the Phoenixville Recreation Department. I was hoping that you would share an important event that we are hosting with Phoenixville Hospital for Mental Health Awareness Month. We appreciate the support in making this event a success. Take care. You guys rock. So it.

is, let's see here, Phoenixville Recreation Center, Saturday, May 3rd, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. And it says, try a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and focus on nurturing your mind and body. This free all-ages event will feature workshops, activities, and resources to help you prioritize your well-being, whether you're looking to relax or

Learn new coping strategies or connect with others. This event is for you. Gang, this is for people who maybe want to dabble in the world of therapy and things like that. If they have an inclination for it. This is a great opportunity for you to go and try this out. And it's free. Okay. That's the big important part. There are a lot of people that can't afford therapy. Go and talk to them. So Saturday, May 3rd, Phoenixville Recreation Center.

uh from 10 a.m to 1 p.m so i just want to give you a heads up on that do we have that info posted nope do you know okay because i haven't been able to post anything oh yeah that's right all right we just got a new website we'll see if we can get to that all right um then here's another one says hey present long time listener all the way back to y100 my husband jay is turning 46 this year on april 15th so we're off for a few days and i wanted to get this out there now uh she said would uh like for you to give him a shout out for me five years ago

I encouraged him to follow his dream and start his own business, which has become Jay's Exotics Reptiles and Plants. Oh, wow. I got him hooked on the show by listening to the podcast while we feed and care for the animals. He loves you guys and would really appreciate hearing from you on his big day. Thanks. And that is from Bob Rooney.

And he says, we heard last week that Kathy would never find a reptile beautiful. And I say challenge accepted. We would be happy to bring some reptiles in the studio to showcase his amazing pants. Sorry, no cobras to kiss. Damn it!

But do have other snakes for Casey. Yeah, you can make up with another snake. Here's a shout out to you and good luck. And then this one. I'd like to request a shout out from my beautiful wife, Steph Kalanti, for her birthday on April 17th. She's been a loyal listener since DRE and listens every day. Also works at Burlington with Kathy's Just Like Ronnie said. Amy, yeah.

So he says Gadzooks, Chris Kalanti, and for his wife, Steph. So there is a shout out to you as well. My favorite is when she goes, just like a Ronnie Tate. All right. Got those done, but I think we need to clean out the junk drawer because I got a few things to get to there. It's the junk drawer. Yeah. Preston's cleaning out his junk drawer. Woof. Getting things out of the junk drawer. Woof.

Finding stuff here in the junk drawer. I'm going to start with, I'm putting this in the junk drawer. This is a big, big deal. And it has to do with one of our own co-workers. And I would like to congratulate a gentleman by the name of Bill Behan. Bill Behan is celebrating his 25th year on the MMR ground. Isn't that amazing? Yes!

Okay, so if you've been to MMR events, chances are you've seen Bill. Bill's a tall drink of water with kind of salt and pepper hair. And he has been primarily a WMMR crew member the entire time while chipping in at MGK and others along the way.

And it was around this time in the year 2000 that Bill started on the ground crew. I love Bill. I've known Bill a long time. I've known him since 1989. We went to high school together. He's a fellow dead and fish head with me. And he is just the sweetest and like sweetest.

subtly funniest guy. Very reliable. I think of how essential Bill was. He was the man during the Eagles parade. He was running shuttle service for us. Got us into the city. Invaluable. Kate's dry humor. Whenever I walk into an event, if Bill's there, I'm like, oh, thank God. He just makes it so much easier for us.

Yep, we love this guy. Some of the crew is getting together for a little soiree for him in Delco tonight. So we would just like to congratulate Bill. And he's just, man, he's just somebody you can count on. He's great. That's a wonderful thing in this world. And so when I first met him, I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. And he and this guy, they used to just call me Bob. They'd be like, Bob. I'd walk by him, and they would just go, Bob. Okay. And I'd go, Bob.

why you call me Bob? And they're like, because you're Bob. And that's it. That was my relationship with Bill being in high school. Wow. Yeah. And then when you saw him here, were you like,

you used to call me Bob. He's like, I did? Yeah. Seriously? He was just a high school kid. That's funny. So congratulations, Bill. And then actually, this is a butt plug. I want to mention this real quick. I'm sorry. I'm jumping off script here. But I got this from Eddie Gallagher and he said, hey, I was hoping to get a butt plug before you go away on your non-golfing golfing vacation. Uh,

cricket comedy is hosting a comedy fundraiser for Julia's grace foundation, Friday, April 25th at the Grove at Valley forge volunteer fire company. Tickets are 20 bucks for the show starts at seven 30. Um, and from creating special moments for the family to share to providing items that make the long days in the oncology clinic feel shorter. Julia's grace foundation works to bring happiness, hope and hugs to children with cancer and to their family. So, uh,

Bob Marsdale, Donna Otena, and Eddie Gallagher are on the bill. And you can go to cricketcomedy.com to get the information. So that's in Phoenixville. Cricket with a K, right? Cricket with a K. Thank you, Casey. Yes, that's how you spell that. Cricket comedy with a K. So I wanted to mention that. Sorry, one more time, Steve. My fault. I had it turned down. All right. Let's go somewhere else in the junk store. Dig around. Saw this one.

The Prada Group announced a deal yesterday to buy Italy's Versace. Oh, wow. Prada buying a Versace? From the luxury group Capri Holdings under terms that value the fashion house at $1.4 billion. So I was just being interviewed for Women's Wear Daily. You were talking about this? This never came up. Oh, wow.

So the Prada said that the addition of Versace's, quote, highly recognizable aesthetic constitutes a strongly complementary addition to its portfolio, which includes the Prada and Miu Miu fashion brands. It said Milan-based Versace offered significant untapped growth potential. The final value of the deal will be adjusted at closing, expected in the second half of the year. Kat, how do you feel about...

You know, brands. Like, Rochelle doesn't care about brands as far as... Designers? Yeah, letting a brand be seen. You're wearing it because you're wearing that brand. You're not wearing it just because it looks this way. You're wearing it because it's a brand. Right. How do you feel about that stuff? So, there are brands that I like. So, I always liked Prada. No, I always liked Prada. Like, when I...

I remember it was like, I think I bought a belt, sunglasses. Those were the first things where I was like, okay, I'm going to spend a little money and get something quality. And my Prada belt, I mean, I had it for...

I mean, forever. I had it for such a long time. It lasted forever. It was nice. It was made well. It never looked like it was used. So how do I feel about it? I don't need to have the lettering and all of that blasted all over the place. What I mean by is buying it for...

People knowing that you're wearing this. If the letters would be blasted all over it, you'd be like, oh, well, I know that you're carrying a Louis Vuitton. No, I don't necessarily care about that. I have some items that I spent some money on that you would have no idea. But you bought it because of quality.

You didn't buy it because, or you like the aesthetics. You like the way it looks. Right. But like, I'll go to Target and find something similar also and be like, I love that. I'm getting it. Right. So Prada said in a statement, Versace will maintain its creative DNA and cultural authenticity.

While benefiting from the full strength of the group's considerable consolidated platform, including industrial capabilities, retail execution, and operational expertise. Although, wait, I got to tell you this story. You'll love it. So I had this purse and you would have no idea that I spent a little bit of money on it. It was really pretty, but it was a very trendy silhouette of a purse at the time. And I went out with a group of girls and my friend goes, oh my God, I have that same purse. I go, you do? She goes, yeah, Old Navy. Old Navy?

And I was so mad. Not that I wanted her to pick out what it was, but she thought it was Old Navy and it was that cheap. I was like, damn it. I'm so mad. I have a cheap garbage bag just like that. Seriously? It wasn't Old Navy? No, it was not Old Navy. Was it like a Louis or something like that? It wasn't a Louis, but it was, yeah, it was a brand. Okay. And it was expensive. And I was like, oh, damn it. You changed Circus World of Value. Yeah.

So Prada bought Versace from Capri Holdings. Capri had, and they bought it for $1.4 billion. Nice. No, Capri had paid $2 billion for Versace. Oh, wow. I didn't realize that. But had been struggling in the recent era of what they're calling quiet luxury. Shh.

To position the stalwart of Italian fashion with its sexy silhouettes and loud patterns. I don't know what quiet luxury means. Well, it's like Silent Cow. It's like from yesterday. I was thinking about that last night, too. I said Simon Cow and everyone thought I said Silent Cow. It really sounded like Silent Cow to me and Preston. I just looked this up about Capri Holdings, Preston. They were carrying $5.17 billion in debt.

So this purchase, I'm sure, was beneficial to Versace in the long run because they're getting out of a company that was not doing very well and carrying way too much debt. Interesting. The question is, can they turn it around? Hmm.

Quiet luxury is like looking sophisticated. Understated? Yes, but not the brand name blessed. Okay, so just what I was asking about. There you go, yes. But I mean there's some things where if you're not in the know, there's a design symbol or something that would telegraph that it is

I mean, the more expensive piece of fashion. You take a look at like the Louis Vuitton purses, right? And that is as loud as you can possibly get. You want people to know that you're carrying a Louis. It's just got the LV on it all over it. But they're not all like that. They're not all like that. But the classic ones are. The knockoff stuff is so, I mean, the knockoff stuff is so convincing these days that...

there was a feature on the people who sell on the street corners and get the stuff coming in illegally. It looks every... Obviously, we'll notice a difference if you buy a knockoff Rolex. But yeah, it's a big business. As Kathy has stated, they'll fall apart soon. It'll look good for a little bit. I bought a fake when

When Tag Heuer watches were the big ball of the rage ages ago, like 25 years ago, I bought one on Canal Street in New York for like, you know, 20 bucks. Yeah. That didn't even last six months and it fell apart. Really? Oh, yeah. But Steve, if somebody pointed out how you can tell a knockoff- It'd be obvious? You'd never not see it again. All right. All right. So let me get something else here for you. All right.

Here's something. The modern midlife crisis. It used to be easy to spot signs of a midlife crisis. Purchase of a new sports car, getting a much younger girlfriend, or plastic surgery makeover were the tip-offs. But while people are definitely still having them, the sign of an existential breakdown in your 40s looks a little bit different today, according to this particular story by The Independent. I feel like I'm going through one right now. Okay. I feel like you're going through...

Yeah. What is, what's a marker that we would know that would indicate? Depression probably. Well, no, I mean, are you doing anything to compensate for? Because that's, that's one of the classic. He's making a suit out of human skin. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I tell you what, he's physically gotten it together. That's part of it too.

Believe it or not. Yes. Is starting to, you know, get in shape. Because Casey, a couple years ago, you were overweight. I was 280 pounds almost. No kidding. Didn't realize that. You never looked that way to us because we love you. Yeah. But, you know, you look at some old pictures. Even like pictures of like, you know, a couple of years ago as the weight was coming off.

and I was at that time feeling, oh, I look pretty good, and then I look back at some pictures, and I was like, oh, you were still pretty big. So to pressurize, besides that, I mean, ways that you're looking to compensate for it. Are you doing things? Did you buy a fancy sports car? I bought a Jeep, but, you know, I don't think that's excessive. See which one of these resonate with you, because I think a few probably will. So here we go. One is High Intensity Pursuit.

Fitness buffs and thrill seekers are behind this one, whether it's marathons, rock climbing, Tough Mudder races, or some other extreme activity. Case does the bike riding, but you've been doing that for a long time. I've been doing that for a while. Long time. All right, becoming an internet warrior. Yeah. It starts with an unnecessarily savage commitment left on someone's social media post.

but evolves into long rants of venting frustrations online like the worst Karen. Basically, you've had enough. Yeah, I'm actually the opposite of that. I don't comment at all on things. Ice baths. Oh, God. Celebs like Kate Blanchett and Jennifer Aniston reportedly swear by them, but if someone suddenly embraces plunging into a vat of Arctic temperature water, it could be a sign they're trying to numb something deeper. That's you too, man.

Do you do that? Yes. That was a hyper fixation for a little bit. I haven't ice bathed in a while. Divorce memoirs. Divorce memoirs. Bookstores are full of new ones and the genre is booming. So either readers are looking for literary escapism or they're searching for an instructional manual. Yeah, I don't read. I don't read. Getting a little too into street wear.

It says rocking a pair of sneakers is one thing, but swapping a go-to style for a wardrobe full of graphic tees and oversized hoodies and sweatpants...

Maybe a red flag. But it's not like he's changed. No, it's always been that way. The only thing different is that you wear it all backwards now. Criss-cross. Yeah, criss-cross. Why did you say the other day that you were going to wear your nice sweatpants? My fancy sweatpants? Because they were coming in here to video Preston and Steve. Oh, that's right. And you were like, I'm wearing my fancy sweatpants anyway. Criss-cross.

Crack me up. All right. Then you have, it says psychedelic retreats. Finding yourself today often involves losing yourself first in substances from, how do you call it? Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca. I actually literally, I watched that Aaron Rodgers docuseries on Netflix. Did it put you off the notion? No, no. Or did it help you embrace the notion? No, I'm actually, I'm quite interested in that. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah.

But also, would you consider going to a fish concert sort of a transcendental experience? Yeah. But again, I've been doing that since my one year. So substances from ayahuasca tea to hallucinogenic mushrooms. And those who've done it can't wait to share how a shaman changed their life to anyone who will listen. Would you ever do ayahuasca?

I've told you psychedelics are something I've never, I've always been a little... Afraid of? Yeah, a little afraid of. Yeah. I don't do any of it, but that to me seems the most risky, the most dangerous. The thought of microdosing, you guys are familiar with microdosing, right? Yeah. Something along those lines. Maybe like that. I mean, I have, a couple of years ago, I was like, I think I want to do shrooms. I think I want to have a real trip.

and I just never got around to doing it. I don't know. One of the greatest days of my life was when I did shrooms and it just was like everything aligned perfectly. I'm walking on such a... No, man. I mean, it just was a perfect day. Was it very...

introspective. It was a very... It was everything that I wanted it to be. It was fun. I was with the right people. We had some beers. I was in Southern California and in Mexico. The sky was beautiful. There was some really cool Dave Matthews playing on the radio. It was one thing after another that couldn't have gone any better. I remember my buddies telling me one time where our band was playing somewhere. They came out to see us and they never made it out. We were like, why didn't you come here? They were like,

Because it was snowing in the room. You have to be in the right setting. And I've heard that about shrooms. If you are not in the right setting and things don't go the way that you want them to go, it can take a turn. If they go off the rails, it goes off the rails in a bad way. And I've had bad experiences. And the only way I can describe it is just...

absolute dread. Sure, okay. That's not good. And to that point, Casey, it's not for everyone. I'm only describing my own experience. So if you're interested in doing it, just take my word for whatever it's worth. You know, for me, it was a fan-freaking-tastic day. And I would definitely do it again, but everything aligned perfectly that day. On the ayahuasca side of it, I've heard more than... Ron White talks about

Like having one day of abject horror and terror followed by a day of elation and joy. I don't know if that's a trade-off.

Yeah, I'm still thinking about it. All right, and then the last thing on this list of a side of a modern midlife crisis, a sudden overinvestment in astrology. Oh, no. It says there's nothing wrong with reading a horoscope, but if someone blames Mercury retrograde for their problems or trades their therapist for a tarot card reader, a midlife crisis might be behind it. So some interesting insights into midlife crises. Last one. Yeah.

Hang on a minute. Give me more. Okay. I found it. I found it.

So recently declassified CIA documents reveal that the U.S. government made an effort to find Adolf Hitler a full decade after he committed suicide. Papers from the U.S. War Department theorize that Hitler may have had a secret hideout at a spa hotel in La Falda, Argentina, where the hotel's owners were said to be supporters and occasional vacation partners. Uh,

The documents also reveal an informant, SS trooper Philip Citron, who claimed to have monthly conversations with Hitler after he'd reportedly offed himself. It's not known. Yeah, what's up? Just checking in, bro. Call for Hitler. It's not known if more information exists in documents that are still classified or if the search was just abandoned because a lot of.

Nazi war criminals did head to South America. So the book Boys from Brazil talks about them fleeing there and they were genetically recreating Hitler, cloning Hitler. I don't know. I don't feel myself. I think I'm going through a midnight crisis. But I guess because the body was burned...

You know, after they killed themselves, after he and... What's her face? Yeah, Ava Braun. After they were dead, someone burned their bodies, and so there was not a visual confirmation. You never know. 100% that that is Adolf Hitler's body. The amount of stuff we're to this day learning about what we've learned and accepted as fact as far as where things were stored or what was... So, for example, the notion of the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Hitler's fascination...

That is ten times more than we thought it was about the employment of looking for paranormal ways of waging war. Yeah, it's amazing what they find. I've told you guys I've been on a World War II kick. As Steve and I have said before, it's our favorite war. It's our favorite war. It's one that we're most fascinated with. And so I just – I watched recently –

Band of Brothers, then the Pacific, and now I'm on the last episode of Masters of the Air, which are all, by the way, Playtone productions. Tom Hanks does it right. Especially when it comes to getting the facts of the war and what things were like

So, you know, in that band of brothers, they go to the eagle's nest where his mountain hideaway was and everything. It looked really cool. Yeah, it did. My dad went a couple of times and he says, he goes, yes, you know, historically, what was because he says it is...

It's amazing, beyond amazing. It was built by someone with that kind of ego, and it's just a phenomenal visit. Is this the Austrian Alps? Is that where it is? I think so. It is beautiful. It's in Oberslotzburg.

That's what it says here. All right, well, anyhow, they looked for him a long time after he was dead and the war was over. He might be with Greg Monahan today. What's he pitching today? A cooler for the beach. A cooler for the beach.

Well, tell us about it. Hey, Sharks. You ever swimming along and say, oh, my beverage isn't as cold as I'd like? Why? All right. Casey, you want to add something? I'll just add something going back to the midlife crisis. Chuck was asking, does joining a band, does that count as a marker for midlife crisis? I think that's always been, right? And he said on a totally unrelated note, Beer 30 is playing next Saturday night at Mulligan's in Oakland, New Jersey. So...

All right, I need to mention this. Oh, by the way, we're wrapping up the junk drawer. If you could sing us out, please. Kyle plays us out. What's the junk drawer? Preston's closing up the junk drawer. There's nothing left here in the junk drawer. Until next time, now what's the junk drawer?

It's this Saturday, and the first 100 people in line get a free Primo-sized hoagie. And then $9.99 Primo-sized hoagies all day for Primo Perks members only, by the way.

Let's see. We will start with this unfortunate story. A gun inside an elementary school student's book bag went off in a Charles County, Maryland classroom on Thursday, just days after a similar incident had happened in a Virginia classroom. No one was hurt.

It was a handgun that a nine-year-old student took to Billingsley Elementary School, and it went off Thursday morning about 1025 a.m. The student allegedly brought the gun from home and was looking for a paper in their book bag when the gun discharged. The bag was in the student's lap at the time. A teacher and school resource officer responded immediately, recovered the gun. Students were dismissed early that day.

Students said that they didn't intend to hurt anyone with the gun. Information was not immediately released on the child's age or gender, who owned the gun, or why they took the gun to school. And an investigation by the sheriff's office is underway. This occurred just three days after a third grade student in Virginia, about 60 miles southwest, also took a gun to school and it went off in their bag.

No one was hurt. A teacher at Lee Hill Elementary School evacuated 26 students from the classroom. The child's parents were actually arrested and charged with recklessly leaving a loaded unsecured firearm so as to endanger the life or limb of a child under 14. So far this year, 12 instances of elementary schoolers having guns at school have been reported. That's insane. That is insane.

All right. How about this is a great story. So, uh, it, it, it took a great turn and American tourists known only as Evan had gotten onto a boat for a sightseeing tour of London. Unfortunately though, he got on the wrong boat instead of, uh,

the boat Evan was supposed to board. He ended up on a party boat charted by 150 diehard fans of South End United Football Club. Some of those fans noticed Evan sitting quietly by himself and they asked if he was okay. After explaining the situation, the soccer mavens quickly adopted Evan as the new shrimper. And I guess that's what they call the fans of the team, shrimpers. They gave him some beer. They gave him a ticket to the game and

where fans in the stadium were chanting, Evan is a shrimp-er! In his honor. It was a true random moment of awesomeness, and I love it when stuff like that happens. When you take a stranger under your wing and bring him into the fold, and that's exactly what they did.

When you park your car in a garage, it is an understood contract that you'll be able to get your car out when you're ready to leave. It's assumed, right? For Mark Lucas of Buckinghamshire, England, that's the contract that's been violated for more than two years now. His car's been locked in a garage for two years. Yeah, listen to this. A furniture store owner says that he parked his company van in a garage in 2023 where there are mechanical lifts and platforms that allow cars to be stacked up.

above and below one another. Well, in the case of Lucas, the lift his van was placed on had an equipment malfunction. After being told the stacking system malfunction, Lucas was at first told that he'd have his van back soon. He and his partner then had to rent another van at a cost of more than $1,000 a month while they waited. Engineers associated with the garage said new parts were needed to fix the lift and

And it would be a process that could take 40 months. What the hell? At that point, Lucas and his business partner had no choice but to buy a new van for $50,000. And when he was told that the repairs to the car lift would be completed, it wouldn't be completed until May of 2024 at the soonest. Meanwhile, the insurance was useless because no responsible party had been clearly identified. And as of now, two years and four months later, the car is still on the lift.

There's no way they can't get this thing out of there. Double parking systems won't comment because of a nondisclosure agreement and the company that owns the building complex has yet to give a formal response as well. So that's messed up. Police in Iowa City said a 19-year-old was arrested after he stole a street sign and then tried to use a fake ID when officers approached him. The police said Tyler Bennett was

It says Prince Andrew. I got a sign. Yeah.

When officers searched him, they said they found a second fake ID in his wallet and a nicotine vape and a THC vape in his possession. Not good. He was charged with providing false identification, interference with devices, signs or signals and possession of a controlled substance as well. I will do one more story and then we will wrap it up. Let's end. Let's end with this one.

Last month, police in Madrid, Spain raided the Jin Gu Chinese restaurant and it's since been closed down. It's now under investigation. Authorities found that the roasted duck that customers thought they were eating was really plucked and cooked street pigeon. Oh my God. Yes.

So they grabbed the sky rats. We have a surprise. What you thought was duck was pigeon. Oh my God, it tasted so good. In addition, cops found meat strips hanging from clothes horses. I don't know what that means.

Unlabeled meat and fish stored in non-functioning freezers, roaches, rat traps, and other violations that would drive any health inspector mad. I'm thinking like clotheslines. Yeah. Yeah, but it says clothes horses. Disgusting. Yeah. There you go. That's a good pigeon. In the bizarre file for you. All right.

And maybe we'll get you on to answer the question and win the prize, which we have a four-pack of tickets to ZMMR Rocks the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, which is Saturday. And the question that I'll pose to you is this. What is Hitler presenting to the panel on Shark Tank? We said this just moments ago. Yes. Less than a half, about a half hour ago.

So what beach item is Hitler presenting to the panel on Shark Tank? Because people are lined up as we speak at Rivers Casino getting ready for Shark Tank auditions. Yes. Greg Monahan, one of our own, is there as well, a former worker here. All right, let's do the trash while you're getting set. The trash business is a gold mine. 93.3 WMMR. Yeah!

with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. Brought to you by Sequoia Outback. Stop in for their annual spring in Sequoia sale. Going on now. Route 309 in Hatfield or at Decksupplies.com and experience the ultimate in outdoor living.

That's Sequoia Outback. What's going on this morning, Steve? Well, Lorne Michaels has been tapped to produce a British version of SNL. British channel Skymax says they wanted a version of SNL with a distinctly British feel, so they hired a Canadian living in America. Oh, my.

Kylie Kelsey reveals what was really edited out of her interview with former first lady Michelle Obama. Apparently, Michelle revealed her favorite prank to pull while visiting friends is to leave an upper decker. And

And finally, Selena Gomez and fiance Benny Blanco attended a Knicks game wearing matching floor-length coats on Tuesday night. How good is Selena Gomez in bed? Well, Benny Blanco agreed to wear a matching floor-length coat to a Knicks game.

All right, we're still looking for somebody to chime in with the answer. And what we will do is fire up a little bit of music news while we're waiting for you to let us know which beach item Hitler is presenting to the panel on Shark Tank. And while we're waiting for that, we will do this. Now, Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMMR. Yeah! Oh, yeah!

I was brought to you by Rita's, introducing Rita's new Skittles ice. You can try it in gelati or ice blender, and you can add Rita's new Skittles popped topping for extra fun. Be cool. Go to Rita's. So, weekend one of Coachella kicks off today. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone are all headlining along with Travis Scott. Other artists joining this year include Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, Charlie XCX, Benson Boone, Clare,

and Zed and many others. And if you can't make it, then Coachella is live streaming. Many of it sets from the weekend over on YouTube and the Coachella app as well. That lineup is basically your Spotify list. There you go. Right there, man. Now listen, speaking of that, uh,

Jillian Lauren, wife of Weezer bassist Scott Treanor. Of course, we talked about her yesterday. She was shot by police outside of their Los Angeles home during a search for hit-and-run suspects. Well, apparently, Weezer is playing Coachella.

And he, Schreiner, has confirmed that the band will proceed with their Coachella performance tomorrow on the Mojave stage at 3.10 p.m. When approached by reporters, he stated, she's all right. Thank you for asking. See you at Coachella. I saw a story, an extra development on the deal that suggests that she actually shot at the police. Okay. Yeah, which I, and I'm like, well, we need to confirm that. Yeah, I haven't seen anything about that. That's why they shot at her.

Possibly. That's where they shot and hit her. Yeah.

So, Record Store Day is this weekend. The annual event put on to bring together fans, artists, and independent record stores is happening on Saturday this year. It will feature over 300 limited edition vinyl releases. Artists include Taylor Swift, Post Malone, Wu-Tang Clan, Rage Against the Machine, David Bowie, and more. And they all have something special ready for release. Post Malone is also this year's Record Store Day ambassador. He said the whole energy in a record store is just super inspiring and

I feel at home. It's really an unexplainable feeling to hit up a shop and dig through crates just to see what grabs your eye. He's absolutely right. I have had a chance over the past year to go to two record stores with that old record store vibe I was for when we were trying to get that dog, Cannoli, adopted. That was at a record store. And there's just something, as you well remember, Preston, about walking around and you're, you know,

flipping through the records and conversations start about artists or people recommending things. There is a very communal, cool feel that you don't, I mean, listen, we have the access vis-a-vis streaming, which is great, but there's nothing like that record store vibe. Yeah, even when vinyl was becoming rare and CDs and cassettes and things like that were still around, it's time to go to the record store. Yeah, it's still that same sort of vibe. So you had that

same thing going on people flipping through and trying to find something I've actually had record store owners especially like Mainline Music right here in Manioc I believe that's the name of it the guy there recommended to me two things that I have since gone on to love and follow the bands he recommended excellent so yeah

Green Day has announced Deluxe Edition of their album, Saviors, set for release May 23rd through Reprise Records. This expanded version, titled Saviors Edition Deluxe, includes seven new tracks, including the previously unreleased song, Smash It Like Belushi. Oh!

I love that. The Deluxe Edition also features acoustic versions of Suzy Chapstick and Father to a Son. Does Smash It Like Belushi begin with, I gave my love a cherry? I'm sure that's what it's in reference to. It has to be. So the band is set to headline Coachella tomorrow, like I said, and next Saturday. What's Suzy Chapstick?

What, the song? Yeah. I don't know. It just reminds me of Susie Cream Cheese, which is a band that Bill invented. Well, Susie Chapstick was a, Susie Chaffee was her name. She was a professional skier, and she had endorsed Chapstick. And so they gave her the nickname Susie Chapstick. She'd come skiing in and go, just call me Susie Chapstick. Yeah. I gotcha. Yep. All right, and then one last story.

Froggy is playing a gig. And I wanted to mention this. It's on April 30th. And, of course, we love Froggy. They do our official No Sad Bro Friday song. And this is from Madco Concerts. They're the concert promotions division of Drexel University student-run music company, Mad Dragon Music Group. And they have a showcase today.

Wednesday, April 30th at the Lounge at World Cafe. And there will be three bands, Froggy, Catalay, and Slow Burning Daydream. Doors open at 6, shows at 8. Advanced tickets are $10. And the event is all ages. You can get that through World Cafe Live. So I wanted to mention that. And that's the last bit of music news. We do have our lesson question person who is going to take a crack at...

at getting our prize. And we now go to Mike. Yo, Mike, good morning, bud. Yo, guys. Nice to see you. Good morning, my friend. All right, which beach cooler item is Hitler presenting to the panel at Shark Tank? I thought it was just a beach cooler. That's right. Hang on, buddy.

Aaron

Oh, Smith, 93.3 WMOR, everything that rocks the other side. We're about three minutes away from being on the other side, folks. Other side of these microphones and out into the real world. And actually, we're off next week. So just some of us, some of us are off. Others will be working. Casey and Kathy are going to be here for the enhanced podcast.

President Steve, best of second. I'm sorry, I was just going to say, if I were on the show and I had a secret relationship and I was looking for a way to be together, I think I would work the schedule just this way. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. I can say that too, Kathy. I can be mean too. Hey, ew. Can I speak for everyone? Yeah.

No one would like to see you two together, so don't worry about it. No one would like to see any of us together. Why even bring that up? It's awful. You definitely want to tune in Wednesday because I'll be doing traffic on Wednesday as well. You've done it before. And I'm not good at it. You did a fine job. You know what? I want to take a shot at it sometime. Yeah, okay. Next time we come back, just...

You know, one or two times. Yeah. I know how hard it is, but I've never tried it. I've never even come close to attempting it. What, Pierre? I want to do it, too. You want to do it? All right, sure. Let's do it. I wormed in on Casey. Casey always gave the letter. And then when we started doing crossovers, we were going along for a while, and then it came time for the letter. I go, oh, could I do it? Yeah. And so I feel, I always felt like I kind of stole that from you. No, you do it so well. You know every letter in the alphabet. Well...

Z. You want to hear how good I am at doing a letter? Steve, you have a clip of me doing a letter. Remember that? What's that? That's me attempting to say a letter. Yeah, Casey was stepping towards the microphone and tripped. That's what he said. He was trying to say like E or something. What was that? Long time ago. Long time ago. I think that might be why 100 is. That was here. Was it? It was in the other studio. It was in the other studio, yeah. I remember because I remember watching you trip towards the microphone. Ah, ah, ah.

Hey, real quick, I want to thank Brad Pearson, feature editor from Philadelphia Magazine. He was a special correspondent for the Connoisseur telling us about their latest issue and it's called Cheesesteak 2.0 and it dives into the world of cheesesteaks evolution and how things are changing in that world. The next step. They have apparently a kicking cheesesteak, vegan cheesesteak at the Triangle Tavern. I was looking at the issue. Oh, I want to know.

I also want to thank Matt and Aliana from 6ABC. We went on there this morning, had a good time chatting with those guys and our friends from Duncan with the meal deal workforce visits that took place today. Thank you so much, guys. They stopped by All Current Electric Sales in Morristown, New Jersey and Hannah's Sewing Massage and Facial Spa in Marlton. So we had a great time giving some goodies to people this morning. So you all good, man? Yes, very good. All right, let's do the letter of the day then. Preston and Steve.

On 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. The Preston and Steve Show brought to you today by the letter. L as in letter. All right, L as in letter. Perfect. All right, so you need to now text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. Click on that ZOOM link.

And we will see if you end up getting through and are able to give us the word. And man, do we have a prize for you. Looking forward to handing that over to somebody who will appreciate it. So you got a full Friday ahead of you, man. Man, it's packed.

Yeah. Action. First of all, as you mentioned, tomorrow is Record Store Day. So sprinkled throughout the program, we're going to do vinyl and vinyl selections, not just at our usual 2 o'clock time. So lots of vinyl on the program at various times.

Also, Workforce Blocks of 311. Nick Hexum's got a birthday tomorrow. A Workforce Block of The Grateful Dead and a Workforce Block of Rush. Nice. To send you on vacation. Whenever it was, we did the last one. I said, is there anything you want to hear? And you said yes, and I did play it. I can't remember what it was. I heard you. It was Entrenue. Okay. Yeah, I requested that one. Yeah, and I've been on a Rush kick lately. I've been...

Really diving back into the... You've been Russified, yes? I've been Russified. I am to be Russified! I'm going to request Unbroken Chain. I know you're not going to play it, but if you're doing a Grateful Dead Workforce block... Throw it all in there. Unbroken Chain. All right. Dark Star, the 55-minute version. Let's see, what else do we have? We'll have 311 Rush, Grateful Dead. Oh, and Slayer tickets. Yes! But for our final day, we're going to do Slayer on vinyl. Oh.

Ryan brought in, we don't have any Slayer on vinyl here, but Ryan brought in his Slayer record. And he's wearing his T-shirt from their farewell shows four or five years ago. They're on their second or third farewell tour. They're beginning. And so you can't have a farewell tour if you don't do a comeback a year later. And so they're playing Hershey Park. I think it just went on sale Saturday, September 20th. But we're going to do a very unique version of Name That Noodle.

Ryan's coming in here. Proof in the pudding. That's his shirt. Flew out to Los Angeles for that last show and here we are again. Turn around. What does it say? It says Slayer. Final two shows. What year was it? 2019. Exactly.

I remember the Who's Farewell Tour in 1982, which I went to. And the Doobie Brothers Farewell. Stones in 81. Stones never did. They didn't? No. To their credit, the Stones have never, ever done a farewell tour. Wow. It's an industry unto itself, is the Farewell Tour. It really is. It really is. Ask Cher, ask the Eagles.

Bands that I love, Grateful Dead among them, for God's sakes. We talked about this just yesterday. I flew to Chicago to see the so-called, quote, last show of the Grateful Dead. And no sooner had it happened, three sold-out nights. God knows how much dough they made. They had Trey Anastasio step in to do the Jerry Parts.

All the merch, all the final, final, final, final, final. A month later, Bob Weir announces Dead & Company touring with the exact same band except for it's got John Mayer on guitar. So do not trust a farewell tour. And the ultimate criminals, Motley Crue, for God's sake, signing a contract and then blowing it up three years later when they've run out of money.

By the way, speaking of the Grateful Dead, and this is the reason why you could play Unbroken Chain. The last time they ever played Philadelphia was 30 years ago, March 19th. It was the last show they ever played in Philadelphia with Jerry Garcia. And it was the first time they ever played Unbroken Chain live. Wow. At the Spectrum. Wow. I thought their last show was at the stadium, JFK Stadium. But you may very well be right. I'm not a master of that.

But so we'll, I have a two hour version of Unbroken Change. That's what I'll bring back. We'll start it in a moment, in fact. Well, that'll be our, that'll be our sweat setting our coffee break and the whole rest of the show. In fact, I'll just go home. Yeah, you should. Because I need to lay down anyway. All right. Well, Pierre's got a bunch on the way for you and we have to get to Rebecca.

Rebecca is on via Zoom, who's a diehard runner, we can tell by looking in the background. She's from Sunnybrook Farm. What's that? She's from Sunnybrook Farm. She is? That's the story. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Nobody knows her. I don't know what you're talking about. Hi, Rebecca. Do me a favor. Do you happen to know what the word of the week is? I do. What is it? Vinyl. Great day in my life!

Well, Rebecca, we have a very desirable prize that we are going to give to you. It is a pair of two-day floor tickets as MMR rocks Metallica May 23rd and the 25th at the lake. She's throwing the devil horns up. Do you like Metallica, Rebecca?

I do, but my husband likes them way more, so he's going to be so thrilled. Oh, that's awesome. You should see the smile on her face. It's ear to ear. It's crisp. Phenomenal. So enjoy that show. Give your husband our best and let us know how it went. Okay. I'm sorry. Pierre's talking to you. I'll just step back. Go ahead. What's his name? I just wanted to know what hubby's name is.

Tom. Tom. Very exotic. I'll go away now. You wouldn't know where they live? Your address and your social security number, please. Okay, would you like my blood type as well? Yes. All right, Rebecca, we got it for you. And don't forget that night number one at the link is with Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills and then Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies.

On the second show, single-day tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster. It's a no-repeat weekend with two different sets performing in the round with different openers each and every night. So congratulations to you, Rebecca. Hang on. We'll make sure you get your info and all that. I love you, too.
