Hello, Steve. Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. I think you sleep in.

I want to just

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. I don't know what that was, but it's all right. It's a Friday morning and that feels good no matter what it is. We welcome you, friend, to the beginning of...

of our weekend and the weather forecast today is going to cooperate nicely we will have some cloudy sky conditions today but high of about 81 so that warm stuff goes on now tomorrow we do have some overnight rain that is expected it's going to lead into tomorrow morning we have scattered thunderstorms expected high around 76 that's going to lead to a cooler day on sunday we're going to

Go back a couple of weeks because it's going to be partly cloudy, windy, and high of only 63 degrees. But after that, Monday, 75 degrees and sunshine. Tuesday, 85. Mid-80s and sunshine. So that is what's happening this week. A little bit of a change. Hello.

Today is April 25th. It is a Friday. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, a man has been charged with arson after being accused of purposely starting a fire that erupted into the massive Jones Road wildfire in Ocean County, New Jersey. 19-year-old Joseph Kling of Ocean Township, New Jersey, is facing...

Facing aggravated arson and arson charges in connection with the wildfire that started on Tuesday and continues to spread throughout parts of Ocean County. Prosecutors said there's no attorney listed for him. Investigators say they were able to pinpoint the origin of the fire by using GPS. This is what amazes me is that they can pinpoint that where that fire started. I mean, it's burned over 15,000 acres. It's stunning that they can find right where it began. Yeah, they figured it out.

Kathy, you said they know he set this or they're saying he set this fire on purpose. Do they have any idea with the intent to start a forest fire? Yeah. So basically they said that he set a bonfire for the intention of it to spread. Wow. Yeah. That's insane.

Wow, I guess that's a reason. It's a case, I guess, you know, arsonists, they get a thrill out of stuff like that. It's very bizarre. Investigators say they were able to pinpoint the origin of the fire by using GPS. Kling is accused of starting the fire with the purpose of destroying or damaging the forest, according to the criminal complaint. Wow.

The complaint says that he allegedly started a bonfire off Jones Road and left it unattended, which spread into the wildfire. He was taken into custody at the Ocean Township Police Headquarters and has since been taken to the Ocean County Jail, where he is awaiting for a detention hearing. As of Thursday, officials say the fire has burned approximately 15,200 acres and has destroyed a commercial building. It was 50% contained. It's peak forest fire season in the vast wildfire.

a pine wilderness that covers more than a million acres, an area roughly as large as the Grand Canyon. Firefighters are contending with low humidity and the aftermath of the months-long drought in the region. They're saying if he's convicted, he could be looking at 20 years. Oh my gosh, wow.

Hatfield Township Police say they're searching for a suspect who brutally attacked a woman on Thursday. The assault appears to be targeted, but they're looking into all possibilities, according to the investigators. The victim's terrifying screams for help woke up one resident in the Hatfield Village apartments in Hatfield Township. Christopher Stevens opened his blinds and saw his neighbor getting up after being attacked. He immediately called 911 and then showed officers his ring video, which the video was pretty clear. It's actually horrifying to watch.

Police said the assault happened as the woman was leaving her apartment at 4.30 in the morning. Stephen said that it looked like that this person, the suspect, waited for her for about 10 minutes and then when she came out to go to work, he attacked her. The video shows the suspect kicking and punching the victim several times before running away. It was pretty traumatizing to see that happen to somebody, Stephen said. I really hope she's okay.

Police are searching for the suspect who was wearing dark clothes, gloves and a ski mask. After this incident, residents hope management approved safety measures. Police warn residents to remain vigilant and anyone with information is asked to contact police. More than 128,000 people visited St. Peter's Basilica to pay their final respects to Pope Francis. The basilica was remains opened until

remained open until 2.30 in the morning before reopening at 5.40 in the morning, has seen a constant stream of mourners filing past the late pontiff's body since it was placed on public view on Wednesday morning. The Vatican reports that the extraordinary influx of pilgrims began at 11 a.m. on Wednesday and continued through 8 a.m. on Friday. Do any of you know anybody or have you yourself participated in one of these public viewings of a deceased notable? No.

Not like where they line up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I've never talked to anybody. I've never done it myself. My cousin was there in Vatican City. Not for this one. Who was the Pope before? Benedict? Benedict is the one who retired, but the one who died? Whoever died. She was there. She was studying abroad at the time. And she went and walked past the casket and did the whole thing. And she said on the day of, it was just, she said, you could go there and there were, you know,

thousands and thousands of people and she said you could hear a pin drop. It was very quiet. Watching the video, and you see these huge crowds in line, but as they show the people that are walking by to take a look, it's pretty quick. You don't get to stop and linger and say your piece or anything like that. It's just like you've spent hours for just a quick little glance. She said it was sort of like just

um, you know, everyone who was there at the time was, was doing it. You were going and she said it was sort of just to say that you did it. And she said it was kind of like, you know, peaceful. Everybody around was nice. And, you know, there was, uh, nothing real bad about it. People were there to pay respects. And that's what she did. the queen passed. Uh,

The line was super long, obviously, and there were people, there were celebrities and high-profile people just in line for that very reason. It is your final acknowledgement of your feelings for the person, but it's not like a linger and fall to your knees and cry. Yeah.

Like it will be at my funeral. Like it will, yeah, of course. Pope Francis's body will remain on display until late Friday evening with his funeral scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Rome time in St. Peter's Square. The Vatican's protocol office announces that 130 official delegations are now confirmed for Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday, including approximately 50 heads of state.

Is it wild that the NFL and the Vatican are having drafts at the same time? Yeah.

Same time. Hey, and Nick, I just wanted to let you know, this is kind of like just a little news story. The smiley face moon that we were talking about this morning. So if you notice, there's like a little sliver and you're supposed to see two dots that make it look like a smiley face. Yeah, those two dots are planets. Yeah. So that was this morning, Nick. We missed it. Oh, we missed it. It was supposed to be an hour. It was a little cloudy too. No, it was up there. Was it? Yeah, I saw the one planet and

and the moon. You could see Venus, you could not see Saturn. Yeah, so what they said, Nick, was that it wasn't like what the pictures we were seeing, it wasn't going to be like an Instagram-worthy picture. You really had to look and it was there, but it was faint. It was a winky moon and a smiley face moon, and then you get one planet, so it was one eye. Yeah.

Hat, curly hair, smiley face. There you go. Somebody saw it and they logged it right there. But I noticed the moon this morning and it reminded me of that, the headline. I saw that it was supposed to be a smiley face. You'd see two dots and like a little mouth. Well, yeah, Casey and I were chatting yesterday or the day before and Casey saw Venus on the way in and he's like, you know, it looked so massive that it almost looked like a rocket or something like that. And I noticed it yesterday morning because Casey saw it two days ago. It's cool. It's cool to look up and see something like that. All right, let's do sports now. Oh!

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

With the 31st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Eagles drafted Alabama linebacker Jihad Campbell. All right! Campbell's from Camden County and grew up watching the Eagles with his dad. The Eagles traded up a spot to number 31 to get him. 21-year-old Campbell was widely considered to be the best off-ball linebacker in this draft.

Wow. Wow.

The Tennessee Titans had the number one overall pick in the draft and selected Cam Ward, a quarterback, out of the University of Miami. The Phillies, who have lost four games in a row, were off yesterday, but they opened up a series in Chicago this weekend against the Cubs. Tywon Walker will get the start this afternoon. The first pitch at Wrigley Field is set for 2-20. And the Union, who are 5-1-3 and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, take on D.C. United at Subaru Park tomorrow afternoon. The match will begin at 4-30.

And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champions. And that's what I have for you this morning. Thank you very much, Kath. Welcome to No Sad Bro Land. It is a Friday morning, of course, and we've got a couple of Friday things that we're going to do, including giving away our Word of the Week prize, $500 to Nebraska Brazilian Steakhouse. A good set for that.

We'll do a check-in with 6ABC with Matt and Tam at 6.36 a.m. Right around then is when we like to do it. We also have a guest. I'm not going to tell you who it is later on this morning. We'll get to him around in the 8 o'clock hour. Or is it around Bizarre File time? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so we've got a guest who's got an announcement to make.

We also have an appearance this morning by the Academy of Vocal Arts. So they had come by leading up to the Super Bowl. And they said the Academy of Vocal Arts is an opera group. It's a group of opera singers that train together and perform. And they came by and they did the Eagles Fight song. It was great. And they have their farewell recital on May 9th. It will be at the Church of the Holy Trinity. And...

And they wanted to come in, and they couldn't make it on the exact date, but they wanted to sing happy birthday to WMM to celebrate another year of this fine radio station. Isn't it amazing how big we are in the opera community? It's huge. Yeah. Who would have figured? They will stop by, and maybe we'll get some other operatic music from them as well, which would be pretty cool.

And we, of course, have lots of money to give away today. So we have the MMR Preston and Steve 20 money keyword coming up at 8 o'clock, 10 o'clock with us and then noon, 3 and 5. So it's your opportunity to win some money. Make sure you stick around for that. And our friends at Rita's Water Ice are stopping by. So they will have some giveaways that we will have to give to you. And we got things like the connoisseurs Friday thing. So awesome.

Um, let's take a quick break. Trying to think if there's anything else I need to hit at this point because there's a lot going on, but we'll figure it out if there is in a moment. So, stupid question, entertainment report, that is on the way next. Stay put. We will be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Hi, thanks, guys. We've got about two minutes or so before we will go live on 680C this morning. So I'll oppose the stupid question. And we are going to give away a four-pack of tickets to the Driven to Serve Muscle Car Jeep Truck Show Maple Grove Raceway, which is tomorrow. Here's the question. Interesting one. Who?

Who invented the equals symbol? Who invented the equals symbol? It's such a common symbol. In mathematics. Huh. So you can text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333 for the link, and we'll see if you can get through and answer that. By the way, we have a step forward.

And potential phones. There's a dangling phone line that is sitting here. It's sitting between me and Casey, and I want to try this out now. Try it. Test, test. One, two. Yes! Can you hear me? You know what? Hello? You can augment the audio by hooking it up to the candlestick phone behind you. I should, yeah. If I can, we'll do that. I can hear, but hang on. Put it up to your ear press. See if you can hear me. All right. Hello? Test, test, test, test, test. One, can you hear me? Yeah! All right!

Get there. Hook it into this. Get there. He's hooking an Ethernet cable. Yeah, put it on there. Let's see. We're going to hook this up. I know, talking to it. All right. Okay. Hello? I can hear you. Wow. You guys are geniuses.

It's Genii. Is that webcam on right now? We got to put it on our new phone. It's connected to a phone. We just taped it to it. Call now. This is what we're dealing with. Who invented the equal symbol? All right, let's see if you know. I'll mention some birthdays. Marissa, how much time we have left? 30 seconds. I'll mention one birthday. That'll give us enough time. Hank Azaria turns a year older. He's 61 years old, obviously.

The Simpsons, Moe, Chief Wiggum. He also just was performing in a Springsteen tribute. Oh, yeah. Like he was dressed like Springsteen from the Glory Days video. Wow. It's a band. It's a cover band. Great actor, too. All right, we got about 10 seconds. I'm going to bring the audio up at 6 ABC. There's a woman there and I'm going to run to her. It distracted whatever that gentleman. Sounds like a soundbite they're playing or a video clip.

You can hear the full interview with Ariana and her mother coming up on GMA at 7 a.m. Netflix says half of its customers use subtitles for content, even when they're watching in their native language. The streaming giant has responded to the demand with a new option to read along with the shows or movies you already understand. So let's bring in Preston and Steve from WMMR. What do you think about this? You're there, you're watching a movie, and you have to have the subtitles on?

I've been watching that way for years now, Matt. Now listen, you're a fellow drummer, all right? So my hearing is severely damaged over the years. And so I use the subtitles just to make sure I don't miss anything. And also, with the amount of British actors or people that have a slight accent, sometimes you can't...

fully understand what's going on. If you miss some words, you miss some plot points. I was watching the new Jon Hamm series and there was an actress and I look at my wife and I was saying, can you understand what she's saying? And so we threw up the subtitle. I tell you what though, it's so common because of the way people have their soundbars and the surround systems and the movie companies have admitted it. The way the audio is mixed is not always the best. That's why new TVs and soundbars, many of them will have settings to isolate the dialogue in the center because it's such an issue.

And so that's why subtitles and closed caption, people are using it like crazy. Do you guys use them as well? I should. My kids are like, you are deaf because they've got it at 52 and I'm saying turn it louder. But do you think it's also, they think it's artistic that somebody's, you know, I'm an auteur and they're mumbling. Like Game of Thrones, when they did that big episode, it looked like they shot it in a closet. You couldn't see anything. I think they also think mumbling somehow is more action.

So listen, I'm fine with that. And I'll watch foreign movies always in the native language with the subtitles on. But I hate that artsy, you know, project a little bit. You got to meet us halfway here if we're going to watch your stinking show. Mm-hmm.

yeah president steve i think you make great points a lot of the mix you know is just not right the actors typically overdub their their narration later on because they can't put the mics nearby right and the christopher nolan films which i love they're notorious for having music and other things too loud and you just miss a lot of the dialogue actually matt he was cited as one of the directors who has a very unique uh mix you know a lot of

I think the Roku and the Apple TV, the Apple box or whatever. A lot of them now have come with a, the, the switch. If you click back 10 seconds, it automatically throws up the closed caption or the subtitles. Assuming you missed dialogue. Yeah.

So, yeah, I guess the good thing about the world that we live in is that people are not just watching what's here. They're watching something from I was watching a horror series from Spain. That's what I like. They're watching some adolescence because they really did use those northern British accents. It did help, I guess, to Squid Game was a big one. Ted Lasso. Yeah, same thing. It's like, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I know we have a common language, but I don't understand what you're saying. Yep.

Just pass the shortbread biscuits. The solution is this, and you'll agree. We just need to take it to 11. Turn these to 11, please.

Nice. All right, guys. Have a great weekend. You too. We'll see you guys. All right. So let us see. I mentioned Hank Azaria, some other birthdays while we're waiting for the correct answers to come in. Jason Lee. Of course, he's a favorite of Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith. Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob. He's also Syndrome. Yes. That's right. Yes. In The Incredibles. Very good. So good. My name is Earl.

It was very successful for him. He actually was nominated for a couple of Golden Globes for that. He turns 55 years old today. Let's see who else we have here. Well, we got a big one. I probably should have led with this, but I didn't. It's Al Pacino's birthday today. Oh, my God. Yeah, Al Pacino. That's him blowing out his cake, Casey. So...

Al is 85 years old today. This is such a crock of s***. And a daddy to a young child as well. Let us not forget about that. Sorry, you read his book. I read his book. Listened to his book, I should say. You just know if we were to have him in here as a guest, we would jibe with him. Conan did a great interview with him. Again, what a body of work. And I don't think...

Sometimes you get these actors that are all puffed up about themselves. He's not that way. He just, he loves the craft. And he was in his book, Steve, you know, and as you know, he had mentioned about method acting and so on. He's like, I wasn't doing that. I was just turning into somebody else. It's what you do as an actor, you know? I wasn't, he's like, I wasn't,

following some study method that somebody taught me. I was just doing this thing, you know? He's so good. So amazing. And it's a crap movie, but I really, really appreciated his swing at it. But when he was in Jack and Jill as himself, and he did the Dunkachino commercial and all of that stuff. He didn't phone it in. He went full. Yeah, and you gotta appreciate that. Dunkadunkadunkadunkadunkadunkachino.

He's 85. He's one of the all-time greats. Yeah. One of the absolute all-time greats. And speaking of Godfather, it's Talia Shire's birthday today. Oh, wow. They share the same birthday, albeit she is six years younger than him. She is 79 years old today. You know, if you watch that series about the making of The Godfather, which is really well done...

They show how, you know, there was a lot of nepotism assumed with her. But she's a legitimate actress, came through the theater. And you can see her, especially in Godfather 2, how solid an actress she is. When she's pleading with Michael to meet with Fredo, it's really incredible. Yeah. She is 79. We got to get her in here someday, too, especially with the Rocky connection. Come on, man. Come on. It's Adrian. Adrian!

All right. It's also Renee Zellweger's birthday today. Open your eyes.

She's 56 years old today. One of the great performances I've seen is Judy Garland. Yeah. She was amazing. I was singing the same thing, Steve. Amazing. She was incredible. You know what I never saw was Cold Mountain. Very good. I heard it's a really good movie. She's great in it. Yeah. One of the hottest non-porn sex scenes I've ever seen in a movie is in Cold Mountain with Jude Law and Nicole Kidman. Really? It's unbelievable. I was watching it. I was like...

Yeah, it's up there with the Ninja Turtle scene. Wow, the Ninja Turtle scene. Okay. So Renee Zellweger is 56 today. Here's an actor, a character actor, you don't know his name, most likely, Jeffrey DeMunn. Yeah. So he was in the Green Mile. He is the oldest of the prison guards. He's the guy that takes the hose and goes, piss on me, and then squirts, you know. He's in...

Sprays him down with that. He's in the TV show Billions. He's Giamatti's dad. 75 episodes I read this. Kind of a creep in that. He is. Yeah, and then you get him in Walking Dead and he's just like the sweetest guy. He's also in The Mist. And the beginning of Shawshank Redemption as well. So that's three Stephen King things that he's been in. Celebrates his 78th birthday today. I love actors like that and would love to talk to a guy like that.

Rocky wants us to get him on right now. Oh, wait a minute. I'm supposed to ask a stupid question again because nobody is answering it. All right. Who invented the equals symbol? All right. There's a person that actually invented the equals symbol. How do you come by that knowledge if you just don't know it off the top of your head? Is there a source? There is a source that you can find. And you need to text ZOOM to 610-660-9333. You can try calling. I'll try to answer on this phone.

We have it hooked up. Yeah, it's actually got a cord hooked up to it. And by the way, the prize that we're giving away for Stupid Question has been moved because the event was supposed to be tomorrow, but it's going to be pouring rain. Because of the rain, I was wondering. Yeah, the event was moved to Sunday. Okay. All right, fair enough. So if you know, text the word ZUNE to 610-660-9333. Or you know what? Drive by One Bala Plaza. Sure. And you know, maybe we'll send somebody down. Yell at your window. Hey!

It may come to that. Yeah. Someday, folks, where we just have, you know, Casey. You guys are on the air. Who created the Eagles? Sorry. Casey goes downstairs and takes your answer from you as you drive by. We have the answer. Yeah. All right. And then the last birthday I saw is actress Megan Fahey. Kathy, you will know her. I know you watch these two shows.

White Lotus, the second season, and Perfect Couple. In Perfect Couple, she's the one who gets killed. The really, really pretty gal, character's name was Merritt. She's the murderer. And in White Lotus, second season, she plays the really good-looking couple. She's obviously the female version. Yeah, okay. Female portion of that. Megan Fahey. Fahey! Married to Theo. No, no, not Theo Vaughn. Theo! James. James.

Theo James. Theo for? Wait, who's Theo James? Theo James is her husband in White Lotus. He's the very handsome dude. Oh, they're married? No, in the show. Yeah. Super good looking dude. I think Rocky's been a little distracting to most people. You know, Preston, he's also in that movie Monkey. There you go. The movie Monkey. Theo is? Yeah. Okay. The guy is...

Incredibly good looking and he's actually a really good actor. So happy birthday to all who turn a year older today. All right, I think we got somebody on the line. It is Austin that we are going to check in with via Zoom. Yo, Austin, good morning, bud. Morning, guys. How are you? Doing good. Where are you going in your tank top this morning, buddy? I'm going to... Aha, didn't understand that at all. You were breaking up. You're going where, bud?

I'm going to work. Okay. Are your sleeves at work? Yeah, my clothes are at work. Okay. My clothes are actually at work. Okay. So, Austin, who invented the equals symbol, please?

Robert McCord. That is correct, yes. Hang on, we are going to give you a four-pack of tickets to Driven Serve, Muscle Car, Jeep, Truck Show, Maple Grove Raceway. It's been moved to Sunday.

All right, so I got some stories in the entertainment realm to share with you. We will start with Khloe Kardashian facing some backlash from her fans for an alleged Photoshop fail related to promo images for her podcast, Khloe in Wonderland. Reveal.

Leave me alone. Fans noticed a big difference after seeing raw footage on the Kardashians. One Reddit user said, I almost spat my water out. How can anyone approve that? It doesn't even look like her. At this point, people still reel at the notion of Photoshop and filters. They're so common. It's like, why are you aghast at that? Especially these people. When they're kind of...

Drastic. Then they'll go, okay, come on. I want to see this because to exceed some of the stuff I see these days, it's got to be off the charts dressed. I mean, she looks like a model. She looks gorgeous. And they have side by side. Maybe there's a case to it. Yeah, right? They said she's beautiful, but she doesn't look like this at all. Criticizing the heavy editing. Others echoed the sentiment with one writing, this is actually insane. These are two completely different people. Justin? Uh-huh? You really think I'm beautiful? Yeah.

You're cute. Anyway, fans share that they continue to be disappointed over her continued denial of editing her appearance. By the way, I have an appearance of Khloe Kardashian in the connoisseur later this week. We'll get to that. Believe it or not, we will get to that. Kathy, you're going to love it. Oh my God, I'm going to love it. Oh, I know what it is. Okay, well, you got to wait. So, Billy Ray Cyrus is opening up about his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley, calling it just a good thing.

The country star shared... It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. Yeah, that first... They first met filming their rom-com, Christmas in Paradise. I just haven't heard about this. Neither have I. Who books Billy Ray Cyrus for a movie? The hell is this? What the hell's going on here? We need a romantic Hugh Grant type. Billy Ray Cyrus. When he was fresh off his public divorce from...

Tish Cyrus in 2022. That's when they did this. So Billy Ray recalled working on a couple of scenes with the actress saying a couple of times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there, adding we just laughed and it was a time that I was... Do you like vittles? I was...

He said it was a time when I wasn't laughing a lot. Two years later, after radio silence and out of the blue, Billy Ray got a text from an unknown number that basically said, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted to let you know that I'm in your corner. Well, it turns out it was Elizabeth Hurley and it hit him right in the heart. He said, for me, at a certain point, it was like you can't get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you. And he said, and in this moment, a friend reached out.

Cyrus didn't hide any of his feelings for Hurley. He said that if all we were ever were just friends, is the friends that we are, then I would take that. She's so impressively brilliant. Hurley previously fueled speculation by tagging Cyrus in a bikini post set to his song, She's Not Crying Anymore. The power couple went public.

With a sweet Easter post on Instagram with Hurley's son, Damien Hurley, showing his support in the comments. And by the way, this marks Cyrus' first romance since his messy divorce from... Thank you. In 2020.

In 2024. Can we really label them as a power couple? I mean, they're both famous. Yeah. I mean, not power power, but you know. The trailer is running. Kelsey Grammer apparently is the star of this thing. Of that Christmas thing? Of this rom-com. Yeah, he's in the movie. Okay. Yeah, because I think it was called, what was it called? Christmas in Paris. I don't know.

Christmas in paradise. Joanna's holiday is shattered when her sisters tell her that her dad has been dumped and isn't responding to any calls, but he's disappeared to a Caribbean island. The sisters decide to go save their father and bring him home for Christmas. I don't remember that at all. Nobody does. Wow. Okay. So, actor, comedian, fortune theme, sir. Been on our show many times. And her wife, Jacqueline Smith, have separated. From Charlie's Angels?

No, not that Jacqueline Smith. So TMZ reports that the couple have split with Feimster set to file for divorce. The two started dating in 2016, got engaged in 2018. In October 2020, they tied the knot. Sad to hear this. Feimster is a, of course, great comic with roles in The Mindy Project, The L Word, and upcoming second season of FUBAR, by the way, with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Two years into the relationship, it seems as if Sophie Turner is exiting stage left. And Eagle Eye fans have noticed that the Game of Thrones star has unfollowed her boyfriend.

Peregrine Pearson. This dude is like a multi-billionaire. No kidding. Yes. So she is, well, she's unfollowed him on Instagram. Ah. And added fuel to the fire. She also posted the phrase, tutto passa. Okay, which, it means anal. No, it means, it's Italian for everything passes. Oh, okay. No official word, but we'll keep an eye on it for you. She, initially when I first started seeing her Game of Thrones-ish time, I thought she was attractive. She is pretty stunning. Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't realize, you know, and a tall drink of water, as they say. She's pretty. She was really solid in the X-Men movies, too. Yeah.

The ongoing divorce of Jessica Albion Cash Warren has led the former couple putting their pricey Beverly Hills mansion up for sale. The home features seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms. It is 8,830 square feet, and the property was purchased for just under $10 million in 2017. The asking price now, so it was 2017 for 10 mil, now...

$19 million, almost doubling what they paid for it. So we'll see if they get it. I don't know. When we hear seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, we're assuming that each of the bedrooms has a bathroom? Yeah. I would think so, yeah. I told you, the house that I stayed in a couple of times, a family that I know that has money, that's, I mean, they don't build houses without money.

every bedroom having a bathroom. Everyone has their own bathroom and then there's others scattered throughout the house. Yeah, because that used to not be the norm. There'd be, you know, the master bedroom would usually have a bathroom and then all beds were off for everyone else. That was like one of the first things I noticed when I went there. I was like, this is amazing. You felt like, I mean, the house was so beautiful. You felt like you were at a resort anyway. But like the fact that no matter what guest room you stayed in, you had your own bathroom. That's awesome. It was awesome. It was kind of cool. Yeah.

Especially when you've got to really tear up the place. This might not mean much to you guys other than me and Steve, but one of the few remaining stars of Hee Haw, comedian Lulu Roman, passed away. The singer was a regular on the weekly country music variety show from 1969 to 1993. They brought it back for a little while. I remember that, yeah. But

But Lulu was a very large woman, dark black hair. She was very, very funny. That was her thing. Yep. And they had the hee-haw honeys, and she was sort of always commenting on them. And I liked her. She was always very likable. While primarily known to the public for her weekly stints on the show, she was also an accomplished gospel singer. She recorded a long series of Southern gospel albums, winning a Dove Award in 1985, and

and being inducted into the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1999. What was her name again? Her name was Lulu, Lulu Roman. Oh, that was her actual name? I believe so, yeah. Okay, okay. So she was 78 years old. No cause of death was announced. People don't remember. Hee Haw was kind of fit a...

niche and a need at a time. It was over the top hokey and hayseedy. But you would see accomplished country music. I watched it at that time as a young man. I watched it for the Hee Haw Honeys. Listen, brilliant musicians. Roy Clark, a

Yes. Was worth watching that show. My God, that guy could play anything with strings. And he was incredible at it. And Buck Owens is a great musician too. So it was, you know, it did legit, but it was hokey. Yeah. The comedy was meant to be stupid. Yes, perfectly. The humor was in how...

you know, just over the top goofy it was. But as a kid growing up, I loved it, you know. Every now and then Roy Clark musician stuff will show up on my Instagram feed. I don't know why, probably just because I mentioned it in the microphone one time and Instagram listens to everything that we say. I had no idea that that guy was as incredible as he is. He's a remarkable musician. There's a great video, not to go off too much about Roy Clark, but there's a great video of him sitting. There's this caucus of musicians, country musicians,

He and Glenn Campbell start playing together and going back and forth. And Glenn Campbell was amazing. He's a great guitar player. Hey, Nick, speaking about your phone listening in on everything. I started watching Conclave the other night. Ralph Fiennes' character delivers a sermon. And he says something that I, you know, listen, I was lifelong, you know, I went to Catholic school and all that. But he said, and it just hit me. And I just yell into my wife to the other room, I go,

I'm like, I'm watching this thing and I just heard something about blah, blah, blah. Now, Instagram is sending me Billy Graham videos. Billy Graham. They're listening. Listen, yeah, we were talking about something on the air the other day and it ended up in my feed. Not only my Instagram feed, but also on my computer on my search engine. I use Bing and it shows up and it's happening. How come I'm getting now porn? Yeah.

Kong Kong. Kong Kong. Oh. Kong. Kong Clave. Kong Kong. Kong Kong. Kong Kong. Oh, yeah. Kong Kong. Kong Clave. All right, I have a couple other things. We got to get to these. Sinner. Kong Kong. Kong Clave. Sinner. Kong Kong. Sinner. Oh, my God. What the hell's going on? Not my fault. I don't even know. I'm the one hitting the button. What the hell is this?

McKenna Grace. Love that actress. I love her too. Has joined the Hunger Games, Sunrise on the Reaping as Maisley Donner, who joins Hamish Abernathy, who's going to be played by Joseph Zada, as a District 12 tribute. Grace is known for roles in recent Ghostbusters movies. She was also in Choose the Little Girl in Gifted.

She's great in that movie. And she's going to be a part of a bunch of other upcoming blockbusters like Nobody 2, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, and Scream 7. She's also part of this, too. Captain Marvel. Yeah. She's a little girl. The prequel movie in the Hunger Games franchise takes place 25 years before the first Hunger Games movie takes place, following a young Haymitch as he completes the 50th Hunger Games. And the movie is set in theaters November 20th of next year.

next year, by the way. I think I've chopped out of that universe. Yeah, yeah. So, Saturday Night Live has announced final set for their 50th season, the hosts. As previous revealed, Quinta Brunson is going to be taking on May 3rd, backed up by Benson Boone as the musical guest.

Following her, Walton Goggins will host for the very first time on May 10th. And he'll be joined by musical guest Arcade Fire. And finally, closing out the season is Scarlett Johansson hosting for the seventh time. Wow. May 17th. And she'll be joined by Bad Boy.

bunny as the musical guest. Quinta rocked her last appearance on SNL. She delivered some of the best bits. She learned her lines, Preston. She wasn't a card reader. It was amazing. Has Walton Goggins ever hosted? No, first time. Okay. Yep. Alright, so we have movies opening this weekend. Let's talk about them, y'all. ... ...

So, movies opening today include The Accountant 2, action mystery film, stars Ben Affleck, John Bernthal, and J.K. Simmons. Christian Wolfe has a talent for solving complex problems when an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to find the accountant.

Wolf is compelled to solve the case. Realizing more extreme measures are necessary, Wolfer Kutz is estranged and highly lethal brother Brax to help. It's two hours and five minutes long, rated R, wide theater release, and Rotten Tomatoes score gives it a 76%. So the word on this is that, obviously, I love the first one, I love the action, and they say that

what is really surprising is that the chemistry between Jon Bernthal and Affleck is so good that just the dialogue passages where they're kind of bickering verbally is sensational. I love it. I'm surprised J.K. Simmons is going to be in this because his character retires in that first movie. The young lady who plays the one who is taking over, she was great in that and I hope she's in this movie. I would assume she is. I don't know her name off the top of my head. Nick is going to pull up the

It's Cynthia Adai Robinson. She's great in this, so we'll see. All right, also opening is Cheech and Chong's last movie. It's a comedy documentary. And, of course, stars Cheech and Chong. Cheech and Chong's enduring partnership begins like the start of a classic joke setup. A Chicano kid from South Central L.A. and a half-Chinese Motown musician meet at a strip club in Canada.

And it ends with one of the most iconic duos in entertainment history. Two hours and three minutes long. Rated R. Wide theater release and Rotten Tomatoes score, 81%. That's cool. You know, I still have that picture of Tommy Chong holding my daughter. You know, it's wild when I just, maybe I knew this and forgot that I knew this or just learned it for the first time. But in the first movie, Up in Smoke,

Strother Martin, Stacy Keach were improv-ing a tremendous amount of their dialogue. Oh, no kidding. Yeah. So Cheech and Chong would say, this is the scenario. Strother Martin delivers one of my favorite lines in the movie. That's his dad, right? Yeah, he goes, I swear you are the Antichrist. Yep, yep. That's awesome. All right, we have some clips to play.

And we're going to start with the accountants, too. Ben Affleck and John Bernthal have built a spectacular bond in the movie. And here, Ben explains. You know, you're just used to being in that person's company. You kind of almost develop a sort of rhythm or an energy around them. And to fall into that and make it believable is very hard because, like I said, it's a hard thing to fake. And I think I just credit the fact that I just...

find him so spectacular that put me at ease. I don't think I would have been able to do it in the same way with another actor. And to answer your question earlier, Preston, Cynthia Adai Robinson is in Accountant 2. Thanks very much, Nick. It is out in theaters today. And another clip. The best way to prep for Until Dawn is...

is with the source material. In this clip, Belmont Camelli talks about the cast's struggles playing the single-player game as a group. It's kind of hard to play with an audience. This is going to be fun. I will continue on, but here we go. Friends, because everybody has an opinion and you only have a second to make a decision. Some people are listening to what they're saying and then getting flustered. Some people are just making the decision. Ron, he's got a gun. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Until Dawn is now playing in theaters. I'll find you and I'll shoot you. That's perfect. Alrighty, y'all. Love the vibe this morning. Yeah, it's a Friday vibe. It's a No Sad Bro vibe. And we'll play our...

Froggy song and even dive further into the no sad bro-ness. What? I just spiked some stuff. I don't chuck it so mad. Does he? Yeah. By the way, spike, for those who don't know, means to play a song outside of our playlist that we have planned.

Yeah. He doesn't have a feel for this sort of stuff, and I do. Or at least I tell myself that I do. You're saying he's not a good program director? Musically, yeah. Oh, okay. The music part of programming a rock radio station, he's not good at. He is a very vanilla guy. The essential part of his job, he's falling down. No, just you wait and see. Because I got something coming up next.

You're lighting it up? Yeah. All right. Okay. If you piss him off, he's going to take away our phone. When you hear the song, you're going to be like, dude, it must be Friday. That's what you're going to think. Okay. So Casey has a special song for you when we return? It's not special, but it's better than what he programmed. Okay. All right. Fair enough. We'll take a quick break and we'll find out what that is in a moment. And don't forget, we have a special guest joining us around 8 o'clock this morning. 20 Money. We have Connoisseur and more. We're going to take a break. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Stay with us.

And we announced yesterday that main stage act Fatmez is going to be performing on the side stage.

So you can go to PrestonAndSteve.com and see the audition videos and then vote and help us pick the winners.

So before we head into the weekend, I think I've got to clean up my junk drawer. It's the junk drawer. Woo!

I'm changing it now. I'm the land yard. I can go with this too. Ah!

It's a nice variety. All right, so we're going to start with this. Now, since my children have grown up, I'm a little more out of touch with what's going on in the world of cartoon programming. Yes. And so I read about this cartoon called Coco Melon. You guys familiar with it? No. Case, you are familiar with it? I'm familiar with Coco Melon, yeah. What are you having? He's having a coconut. I'm trying. I'm just curious what you're having, Nate. We're not busting your balls. It's an RX bar. Oh.

Okay. I like these RX bars. They're really, really good. This is a connoisseur teaser. Well, right before Casey did his live commercial, he took a big bite of, was it the same thing? Of a Laffy Taffy. Laffy Taffy. He goes, I thought I could finish a Laffy Taffy in this time. In less than a minute. I thought I could, and I couldn't. You're eating your protein bar in one hand and Laffy Taffy in the other? I need a little sugar cake. Okay.

He's complex. He is complex. By the way, speak for yourself. We are busting his balls. It's true. Thank you. All right. So, yeah, Cocomelon is an addictively popular animated streaming series. Reportedly hooks toddlers on its bright colors, loud music, and characters sporting oversized heads and googly eyes.

And, uh, well, some people are starting to say that it's too much, like it's overstimulation. Really? Uh, so a, uh, an influencer named, uh, Mama Sand Messes, uh, quickly noticed how overstimulated her child became whenever he watched the show. And, uh, which is a bonafide streaming sensation now boasting nearly 200 billion views on YouTube. Wow.

And she said he would sit there, glued to the TV, and never wanted us to turn it off. She's a former teacher, by the way. The child is four years old. She said unlike other shows he'd watched for a little bit, when Cocomelon was on, he demonstrated some negative behaviors. Transitions were hard, and there were tantrums, especially when it was time to turn it off. Turn it off, and I'll kill you.

And ask concerned parent Shania Hillian, which cartoon she won't allow her four-year-old daughter to watch, and she doesn't mince words. She said, this is a no-cocomelon household. This kind of reminds me of stuff like Videodrome or like, you know, where you're being barraged with it. People are photosensitive sometimes, react in ways. I'm curious to see what the imagery is like in this thing. So it's up on the screen here in the studio now. I mean, it looks like that, man.

Not that bad. I mean, really, the video, it kind of reminds me a little bit of, and I have to go a little ways back, but Jimmy Neutron. Larger heads and that style of animation. I do remember some TV shows, though, like making Ben act certain ways. And SpongeBob got him really ramped up. And I don't know what it is about particular programs or whatever, but his behavior would change forever.

Really? Yeah. And Steve, it's a real common problem for... It's not a common problem. It's just something that happens with kids. Dude, our really good friends, Rochelle and I, their kid, who's a grown-up now, they would not let him watch Spongebob when he was a kid. And I'm like...

Really? And that's why. Neither would Melissa, my ex. Really? Yes, it wasn't because neither one of us didn't like SpongeBob. We loved it. It was his behavior after SpongeBob. And who knows what it was about SpongeBob. Obviously, SpongeBob is awesome. Everybody loves SpongeBob. But Ben would go crazy after those shows and act... And Ben's a good kid. He would act...

Not like a bad kid. I can see that in some way. I crack up because my dad loves to watch every goddamn thing. That's why I'm the mess that I am. But I could see things like a beret of colors or whatever could get a kid amped up in a way you may not like. All right, so...

Oh, no, he wanted to say something. And then he turned away. I've moved on. The one time Hillian's daughter saw Cocoa Melon at a friend's house, the three-year-old was instantly mesmerized. She kept asking me if she could watch it. And they said it has gotten so bad that now every time I see the show pop up on Netflix...

I put a thumbs down next to it. I'm 10 years old, but I'll beat your ass. Wow. Online parents have compared the program to crack for kids showing Cocomelon meltdowns when they turn off the show. And they said once you have a taste of the cocoa, it's hard to break the addiction.

Unlike cartoons in the past, some of today's animated series do emphasize excessively loud music and bright flashing lights instead of slower storylines with a solid narrative, like Arthur or the Magic School Bus, they use as examples here. Who's the one who's all the rage on YouTube? The Miss Whatever? Yeah, we talked about her. She has a very...

A lot of people pressing and texting about Cocoa Melon saying that it's really kinetic, that it changes every two or three seconds, it keeps the kids glued, but it turns them into zombies because it's changing so frequently and so fast that kids become really hyper as a result. So that's like some reality television programming. The very quick switches of camera angles and so on, and it's

I don't like watching that. It's overstimulation. Stop and think about adults who are scrolling. It's a similar thing. It's true, man. It's kind of where we're all headed. You know what commercial gets me that does that? It's the Capital One commercial, and there's a few different versions of it, but the one that I've seen recently is Jennifer Garner walking towards the camera, and she is

um, walking through, uh, several different travel locations. And that the point of the commercial is get a capital one card and you can go anywhere in the world and stay in their lounges and whatever. And there's been a bunch of different versions of this commercial. It changes so rapidly. The location that she's in, as she's walking towards the camera, it, it,

It gives me a headache. It messes my brain up. And here, it's up on the screen in the television, in the studio, and you'll see it in a second. Okay. This might not be the right one. All right. No, there's a different commercial, and they... Too much stimulation? The same person walks at the screen rapidly, and the scene behind them changes immediately.

every .2 seconds, .3 seconds or whatever and it's the change of the location while the person is simultaneously walking towards the camera messes me up. I'm looking at some texts that are coming in that says Coco Melon turds getting into zombies. Someone says, dude, it's true. Three and four year old we have now do songs but wait, uh,

We now do songs but no video from the show. And then they said, it's baby crack. So there was a video up. I don't know if you noticed. It was on the screen here. But there was obviously a kid sitting on the couch and the parent shut the show off. And the kid was like an addict. Here's another one. It says, Coco Melon turns kids into Coco Felons.

Wow. And here's another one that says, can't confirm we banned it in my house. Told my daughter it rots her brain. Here's some audio. It's a great day on Cocomelon Lane. This is the theme. So nice to meet ya. It's a great day on Cocomelon Lane. Come on. There's so much to see ya. All right. Well, we'll see. But it's incredibly popular.

But some people are saying, yeah, it's a bit much for the chillins. All right, let me go back into the junk drawer. All right, here's something I saw last week and didn't get a chance to pass along to you. But it is a subcategory of catfishing called hatfishing. Hatfishing. Yes. This occurs when someone wears a hat.

To conceal the fact that they're more or less balding. And this practice is often used in photos on dating apps. Like most popular dating slang, the term actually appeared on Urban Dictionary back in 2014. But the trend is resurfacing. So it's a deceptive way to portray yourself in your avatar. The inclination to hatfish makes sense.

Wow.

will start to lose their hair at least some time, at least some of their hair, I'm sorry, by the time they're 35. An unnerving prospect for young guys trying to protect virility on dating apps. So what is the state of the art with like Rogaine and other treatments? And what are your cheaper hair transplant procedures running? So in other words...

This does not seem like something, if you're really, really destroyed by it, that you have to live with, right? I got to believe it's an expensive procedure, but I couldn't tell you, Steve. And I just think none of it's like Rogaine and all that. None of it's perfected. None of it actually helps. Otherwise, it's...

Everyone would be using it. Even the hair implants, though, they're not great. You can tell. You know what I mean? It's not... Actually, I've seen ones where they do... Better ones? Well, not like the old style. It looks like a potted plant where they're doing the single hair. I've seen them that look...

pretty convincing. There's also a listener of our show. He's a local guy who does the tattooing. So they actually tattoo color on the hair. So it actually just gives you on your scalp. So it just, yeah, on the scalp. So it actually just gives the illusion that it's fuller. Yeah, that could work. I would see that. I should spray on hair. Nick pulled up this information. A good transplant procedure typically costs between four and $15,000, but can range from eight to $20,000 or more. So it's not cheap. Yeah.

Um, and, and also I had something in the Just Say Institute a while back, you remember, about they're starting to maybe make some inroads on a legit medical treatment that can reinvigorate hair growth. And I don't know what, you know, listen, those things take decades sometimes before they're available to the public.

But they apparently are getting close from what I understand. So according to this article, according to celebrity hairstylist Kristen Serafino. I know the answers. Young guys feel like there's this unwritten rule that a luscious head of locks is directly associated with their masculinity. The truth is gradual thinning of the hair is a natural, inevitable condition like death taxes and the next selfie from the Kardashians. I like the first comparison is death.

George Halley, a 48-year-old from Colorado, has hat fished in the past and thinks the majority of men do it to avoid having people make snap judgments and quick swipes left based on solely their hairline. So to me, though, the worst thing is so you get somebody and then you're going to have to take your hat off at some point. Why not just put that up front in the store window? Because maybe, Steve, they see it. Well, at least I'll get a hat.

a shot. Wow, man. You know what I mean? Yeah. That at least someone who might pass over me immediately might have a chance to sit down and talk to me and at least to have an opportunity. Give me the chance to disappoint them later on. Well, maybe. But they may, you know, they may be charmed by this person once they meet them. So, but they said no one wants to reveal...

what they perceive as their least attractive feature right off the bat. If you guys want to be bald, no one shaves the male pattern baldness shape into their head because they think it's hot. Nobody does that. Casey does it because it's fun from time to time. So, Casey, you said that you get a little light on the crown, right? There it is. Would you ever again shave? Nah. Yeah. Nah.

What, for fun? Oh, for fun? For fun, yeah. Well, maybe, maybe. I know some people have a fear of if you cut it too short, it's not going to come back. No, no, no. I mean, for fun, I would definitely do it again. I thought you were asking something else. No, because it's like a Seinfeld episode where the guy shaves his head and we let it grow and he realizes he's going bald. Yeah, yeah. No, but I mean, I'm definitely going bald back here and it is what it is. Yep.

So a bunch of people are texting in referring to the hair transplant stuff and saying that people will combine vacations to the country of Turkey, Mexico, or Colombia because you can get a vacation out of it. And the hair transplant is so much cheaper and really, really well done in these countries. So they'll go to any of these countries, pay a lot less for the hair transplant, and come back with a full head of hair. Remember we talked a while back about Turkey in particular being a very popular spot. Like tons of people come in for hair transplants. I've seen it.

told you guys this story before on the air, but I had a friend who went to Columbia and had a full body makeover, liposuction, breast lift, breast implants, like everything. And she stayed at like a spa type recovery place where they, you know, it was a little more spa like than just going home with all these tubes, you know, draining fluids out of you and all of that. And she stayed until she was healed enough to fly home and it was significant.

And that was Colombia? It was in Colombia. Yeah, so a listener just texted, and this is for the hair transplant thing, but they took a vacation to Colombia, and they paid $2,500 for the hair transplant there, and then came home. So where do we... Was it Turkey that we heard about, where somebody got for a procedure and...

It was one of the... It didn't quite work. I think I've had some examples of that happening before. Yeah, when we talked about that last time. But they put hair on their breast implants. But hat fishing was not familiar with that. All right, we're going back in.

All right, here's the story that Steve sent to me and I filed in the junk drawer. This is a sad one. The founder of an innovative toy company that taught millions of children how to read has died, and he passed away by physician-assisted suicide. Mike Wood, the founder of Leapfrog Enterprises, was pronounced dead at Dignitas, a nonprofit organization that offers physician-assisted suicide in Zurich.

And this was on April 10th. His family was there. He was 72 years old, suffering from Alzheimer's disease. And he had made the decision to end his life before the condition progressed too far, according to his brother, Tim. Leapfrog also shared news of Wood's passing, describing him as an innovative leader whose passion to find a new way to help children learn led to something remarkable. I remember that.

Obviously, I don't have kids, but even I knew how leapfrog was all over the place. That was like the first iPad-like thing that we got for Jace when they were very young. By the way, Swiss law allows people to help others to die as long as their motives are not selfish, such as for financial gain. So I actually know someone who did this. I didn't know him personally. I knew someone in his family, but he did it here through Penn Medicine.

By the way, the laws vary across the states with many legalizing medically assisted suicide or considering legislation that would do so. It depends on where you are and what the condition is. It took years and all of the therapy and the counseling that he had to go through and the decision that

he wanted to make and the family was against it, but he wanted to do it and eventually it happened. Can I ask you what their condition was? So I've been asked not to talk about it and I feel like if I say what it was, then they would connect it. Apparently this guy knew how to leapfrog the process. See what I did there?

Nick? I was just going to say, I believe you can do it legally in Colorado. Okay. In Colorado. So Wood, to tell you a little bit about his life, he was born in Northern California. He would go on to earn a Master's of Business Administration from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and a doctorate from the University of California, Hastings College of Law. He then spent several years working as an attorney, but it was his personal life that inspired him to create the toy company. He was...

A young father, and you notice that his toddler was struggling to read. And he would later explain that his then three-year-old son, Matt, knew the alphabet but could not pronounce the letter sounds. Wood was concerned that if his child lagged as a reader, he would struggle and set off him to create a prototype of an electronic toy that played sounds when children squeezed plastic letters. And he based the idea on greeting cards for...

that Play Music went open as a technology. And he worked with engineers and as an education professor and an education professor at Stanford to eventually develop the Phonics Desk, which was released in 1995. And the success of that product attracted the attention of investors Michael R. Milken and Larry Ellison, the founder of the software company Oracle.

And the education company they founded, Knowledge Universe, then bought a majority stake in LeapFrog in 1997. That brought in millions of dollars to develop the new products. With some extra funds, he was able to acquire a company that developed the prototype, which later became the LeapPad, which he insisted be sold for no more than $49 at Toys R Us.

It was a blue and green clamshell that held interactive spiral-bound storybooks. Children could use the pointer to touch the word or an item in the story to hear it spelled or sounded aloud. And it became the best-selling toy by the 2000 holiday season. And soon the company started developing other products to teach children other topics like geography and math. And they started putting it in, like, schools left and right. And then it just took off.

So I assume iPads sort of cut into this industry and the software probably runs. You can probably get leapfrog software for iPad. I'm not sure, but that would seem to be the case. The difference, Steve, is that sometimes you don't want the iPad because it's too complicated and there's too many things. So the leapfrog simplifies it. And so especially for toddlers, like you don't want to have every single option in the universe like you would for an adult. And when it's a leapfrog, it really streamlines a lot of those things.

The applications you would want a toddler to have. So Wood ultimately stepped down from the company in 2004. He was 51 by then. LeapFrog was available in six languages, more than 25 countries. When Wall Street Journal asked him about his decision to leave, he said, in 2003, we had 1,000 employees, $650 million in revenue, $60 million in earnings, and I had a headache every day. He said there would be four or five problems on my desk every day.

that I had no good answer and he had to pick the least worst answer. So that's why he decided to hang it up. Yeah, man. And he had every capability of doing that. What an amazing thing to set forward. And then he was to be inspired by the need of his own child. Yeah. And then he went on and did a lot of other education-based things.

things on a more leisurely level. But yeah, he leaves behind a great legacy. So that was sad news, but I thought it was interesting and worth passing along. So thanks for sending that to me, Steve. No problem. All right, let me go back in to the junk draw. All right, how about this one? I thought this was kind of interesting. Tennis legend Andre Agassi

is said to make his pro debut in another racquet sport this week when he takes his part in the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships. Talk about hair transplants. Alongside the sport's number one player, Agassi, an eight-time Grand Slam singles champion, said that he will take the court with 18-year-old star Anna Lee Walters on April 30th in his first match.

I'm sorry, April Waters is her name. And it was Waters' idea to play together after she saw videos of Agassi playing pickleball on YouTube. Waters was on track to earn more than $3 million last year. Pickleball? As a professional pickleball player, but did not have a mixed doubles partner for this year's U.S. Open, which begins on Saturday in Naples, Florida. Was it LeBron who bought a...

A few people had bought teams, yeah. So he said, she's probably sick of winning so much, and that's why she called me and asked me to play. Agassi said that he was originally drawn to pickleball because of its social, inclusive nature, and he's since become a spokesman for the sport and an endorser for Jula, which is a company that makes the pickleball gear. By the way, so I bought my wife a couple years ago, about two years ago, pickleball, you know,

The whole thing. And they're pricey, man. Yeah. That equipment is pricey. Well, they're popular. Yeah, yeah. That's why. There's a lot of demand for it, yeah. So what would that have cost? Any idea? A couple hundred bucks? I thought, well, no, but it was maybe like 150. Okay. I forget exactly what it was, but it was enough to raise my non-existent eyebrows. Right.

All right, so, yeah, so actually Andre Agassi playing in the U.S. Open Championship of pickleball this weekend. I thought that was kind of interesting. All right, we'll do one more thing.

All right, if you are still stuck on what to get the moms in your life for Mother's Day this year, content creator and mom, Dom Martin, has put together a simple, informative guide. She has a slideshow called Gifts Moms Actually Want for Mother's Day. And she makes it clear that a candle or new robe definitely doesn't cut it. What about a vacuum cleaner? No. No?

She lays out the do's and don'ts for gift giving for moms on their special holiday. Now, listen. I don't mind a new vacuum. I know. Michelle, too.

She would love a new vacuum cleaner. We need a vacuum at my house, and I just won't go and buy one. I just borrow my mom's all the time. Well, no, she has to have expressed that she also wants the vacuum cleaner. That is an essential part of the equation, Kathy. Yes. You know what I would like? A vacuum cleaner. But if you get a vacuum cleaner, even still at that point, you need to get something else that is a little bit more expensive.

pampering or something, whatever. But you can't just get the vacuum cleaner. Give her the vacuum cleaner and say, here, get to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make me a sandwich. Yeah, by the way, here's a frying pan too. Why aren't you in the... Am I going to have to hit you? And then pack your bags. All right. So for the do's of Mother's Day, she said, number one is to plan ahead. If you wait until the last minute, you will regret it. So annoying. Next up is privacy.

personalize the gift. To whom it may concern. And think about what mom really wants. And number three on the do's is to pay attention. She says, this is somebody who birthed the kid on your behalf. You shouldn't. You should probably know what they like and what they don't. Yeah, some of us do and some of us don't. I have a hard time buying gifts. You guys know this. I talk to my therapist about it.

About buying gifts? Can I ask what the advice was? Yeah, pay attention. Be present in your relationship.

I am present in my relationship. I was just saying to Kathy. Preston, how does it make you feel when Casey suggests you're not present in your relationship? No, I know what you're saying. So it's literally a sense of stress. So my wife's birthday is in October, and then we have Christmas right after that. By the time we start getting to August, September, I start getting anxious. Okay. Because I just...

I can't come up with any good ideas of what to get. I'm just not...

good at it. Does she know this? Is she expecting some amazing gift from you? No, but something. You can't think of anything? No. Terrible. You got me? Yeah, I got you. You sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an experiential thing. Because I'm going to count on you every year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But her birthday's in October. That's correct. Okay. You're going somewhere. How about a robe, a candle, and a vacuum cleaner? So, here's the don't list. Laundry detergent. Here's the don't list. Uh,

Mama presents, she says. If she wanted something that said mama on it, she probably would have already bought it for herself. At this point, it's low-hanging fruit. Oh. To quote Bill Weston. Bill.

Number two is... How about an evening with Bill Weston? Number two is anything cleaning related. Of course. Because according to Dom... Clorox. You like Clorox. Because according to Dom, she says that's giving Cinderella. It's giving clean up after me, not I love you. Yes. The second word in vacuum cleaner is cleaner. Yeah. This could be cleaner. So the next don't is searching on Amazon for Mother's Day gifts. Yes.

She says anything that comes up on that list, I guarantee you she does not want. Look, a fence post digger. Yeah, I definitely agree with that one. I was going to say, some of this list, I don't agree with this one. Well, here's the last one. Let's see if you agree with it. She says, finally, she says,

Don't just guess what mom wants for Mother's Day. This is somebody that you know very deeply and personally. You should know what they want. By the way, there's nothing wrong with if you are completely at an impasse to say, I want to get you something. What would you like? And tell me, allow me to do something for you. I want to do the best thing for you. If you have that kind of relationship...

I think that's fine. Steve, that's exactly what I was going to say. Preston, if you are not sure what to get...

ask her. I'm not talking about the day before. Your birthday's coming up in a month. Two days before. No, your birthday's coming up in a month. What do you want for your birthday? What would you like? What can I do for you? No, I do. I'd rather you ask me what I want and get me something that I want than give me some Amazon crap. Get five index cards and write hug on each one of them. And she can redeem those for hugs whenever she wants. I would rip that paper up right in front of your face.

I'm feeling a little attacked. You guys are coming on a little strong here. Meanwhile, I'm just coming up with ideas. Okay, that's what I want. He's thinking over there. He's pricing vacuum cleaners. All right, anyway, Mother's Day is coming up. They're too expensive, Steve. The 11th, by the way, and of course we recommend, and I will be getting the Steven Singer gold dip rose, the blue one. As will I. I get that every single year. That's definitely a count, but I need to get a couple of other things as well.

All right, we got to close it up. Close it up. That was the junk drawer. Yeah. Preston's closing up the junk drawer. There's nothing left here in the junk drawer. Until next time, that was the junk drawer. That works. It does work. Thank you again to Kyle McCarty for my wonderful jingle there, buddy. All right, we're going to take a break. When we get back, we have the bizarre file. We have your first shot at winning $1,000. Is our guest going to be here maybe, sort of, possibly? Should be here. All right, we'll see. We'll be back in just a moment. Stay with us.

So visit PellaPhilly.com. We'll start with a story out of England. A man who bought a $35,000 car to replace the one that he had stolen has discovered that he has accidentally bought back his own stolen car. Oh, man. Oh, my God.

Ewan Valentine woke up to find his car, a black Honda Civic, had disappeared from his drive overnight. I have the same air freshener. After informing police and his insurers, he started looking for a replacement. Steve, it's kind of how this happened. Is it really? He found one that looked identical. It was about 70 miles away, but after he bought it, he noticed similar items in the vehicle. Oh, jeez. It was then that he realized he had bought his stolen car. He also found his previous address in...

in the car's navigation system. Oh, man. He told the BBC that he was gutted when his car was stolen and he was determined to replace it with the same model. He said it's sort of a midlife crisis car and you don't get many of those. So I was pretty determined to get it replaced before one day I have to get a sort of family car. I spotted one that was the identical, same color, same year, same slightly obnoxious exhaust system on it as well. And it fit the bill. He paid, like I said, about $35,000 for the replacement.

And he bought it at a reputable garage. But upon driving it home, he started to get suspicious. And I started to notice things like a single tent peg and some Christmas tree pines and a Mars bar wrapper and things that they hadn't cleaned out.

Man, they didn't take any precautions. He said all very... Well, they did, actually. He said all very similar to what you could have found in my stolen car. He said despite the car having a new number plate and lower mileage... Ah, okay, so they did that. Suspicions were confirmed that he later discovered his and his parents' addresses in the history of the built-in navigation system. So legally was he able to do anything? He said, I nearly crashed, to be honest, because I was in shock. My hands were shaking, my heart was pounding. He took the vehicle to a Honda garage

And they informed the police who said that they could not believe that he had bought his own car and suspected it was stolen to order by unidentified thieves. The first Honda technician, he said, pulled out the physical key of the original smart key, puts it straight in the door and unlocks it. He said, yep, that's your car. Wow. You could see signs where they've tampered with things and removed VIN numbers and replaced other ones and things like that. He believes the garage that he bought the car from was also duped.

And he now hoped to get his money and deposit back for the vehicle. So he's following through on that. See if there's anything he can do about it. He's owed that. Here's another car story. A seaside Massachusetts town appears to have fallen prey to an overzealous, uh, palated woodpecker.

that damaged more than 20 vehicles. For weeks, locals have dealt with broken car windshields and side mirrors, and resident Janelle Favallaro was able to catch a photo of the culprit, which is a large crow-sized bird whacking away at vehicles. She said, we seem to have a vandal in our neighborhood. I'm describing him as 18 to 24 inches tall, wearing black and white with a red hat. She said that the woodpecker is responsible for damaging at least 25 cars.

Said it showed up and landed on the windshield wipers of my RV in our front yard and was looking at its reflection. And we were like, you know what? I bet he's the one that damaged it. You little bastard. So a bird expert said this time of year is breeding season. So all these male birds are getting into very aggressive territorial courtship display. If they see the reflections...

They don't understand it's a reflection and they think it's a competitor. Okay, got it. By the way, right now we have a woodpecker that's out in our backyard. Really? I love it. They're pretty amazing. I love hearing that sound. It is so cool. All right, this warning is a terrible, horrible, horrible story. All right.

A four-year-old girl was found alone in a New York apartment where she had reportedly been living alongside the bodies of her dead mom and brother for at least two weeks.

Four years old. Yeah. The girl named Promise Cotton was rescued from a Bronx apartment on Friday after her concerned grandfather, Hubert, had sent another family member to investigate the situation. Hubert reportedly sent his eldest granddaughter to see what was wrong, and she found that Promise was there and the bodies. She apparently promised to survive by feeding herself with chocolate. Oh.

After finding the four-year-old alone and starving on her mom's bed, the unnamed relative then grabbed her and fled the building before alerting police. What happened to the adults? Police responded to 911. Upon arrival, they found a woman and a male, unconscious and unresponsive, inside the location. The brother was only eight years old. They identified them as Providence's mother, Lisa, and older brother, Nazir.

Promise was transported to a local hospital after further medical evaluation. One of the family's neighbors, Sabrina, said that the mother and son were dead for at least two weeks before the bodies were discovered. Neighbors also informed the outlet that both police and child services had visited the apartment earlier in the week while Promise was trapped inside but left without entering the apartment. What prompted that visit?

They were here ringing people's bells the day before the wellness check, according to a neighbor. I don't know, Steve. So the causes of death have not yet been determined. Those sources say the police believe that Lisa may have died from cardiac arrest.

while Nazir, who was born prematurely and used a feeding tube, may have starved to death. That's horrible. You're right. That is a horrible story. No arrest, and the investigation remains ongoing. That is just a terrible, terrible story. All right, so we need something a little bit lighter than that to end the bizarre five-minute. A little levity sorbet. So, Billy...

A woman's body care brand has launched a new advertising campaign in New York City to promote its aluminum-free deodorant. Oh, bitch.

There are posters up around the city showing an enormous armpit. It actually has scratch and sniff on it. Really? To give a sample of their fragrance of the new deodorant. That's pretty wild. The campaign is getting a lot of attention, including from some curious noses. The posters are set up to be...

running through May 16th. What about their anal ward cream? So there's plenty of time for everyone to make a trip to New York City and smell someone's armpit in the name of marketing. As a bonus, there are multiple scents so people can smell several different armpits during that campaign. So yeah, you walk up, it's next to the...

You scratch it and you smell it. The Vagisil billboard. There you go. All right. They still make Vagisil? No. Kathy? Yeah. They do? It seems like an old, like Brylcreem, like an old thing that's not made anymore. No, they definitely still make it. My buddy Danny used to use it on his chafed butt.

Vagisil. Oh, really? You can rub it under your nose in the major league and it'll help you with your spitball. Is that what he used? Vagisil? Rub a little jalapeno up there. Oh, that's funny. Put snot on the ball. You put snot on the ball? Oh, my God. All right, that's your B-file. Ladies and gents, we have a guest who is in the studio. And when we say his name, you will know why he is here. So we're excited to welcome back our good friend, Mr. Scott Keenan. Hello.

Yeah, baby. What's up, Scotty? How you doing, gang? Doing great. Nice to see you, sir. How are you? Doing well. Wonderful. So, yes, obviously warmer weather. We're inching up on that time of the year. And it's time to head back to your establishment, Kenan's Irish Pub. Yeah, this is our 26th season. So what major reconfiguration have you done to the place that's going to throw us off when we show up this time?

We didn't really do anything this year. We're going to go back to the basics and run our small little corner bar on Old New Jersey Avenue. Hey, how small was Kenan's Irish Pub when you first opened? When we bought it in 1999, it was 7,500 square feet.

It was just the main section in the back. Now we're 25,000 square feet. Oh, my gosh. And 10,000 square feet of parking space. We're within triple the size. Yeah. We were outside under like an awning when we first were doing it. Yeah. Now it's the entire frigging block and the street.

When we're there, everything's closed off. Yeah, having that street party capability is pretty awesome. That's been going on for a few years now, right? Since COVID, they did that. But this year, there's no drinking on the sidewalk, but the street still is blocked. Okay. All right. All right.

I left our giant beach ball there last year. You guys still have that? Oh, yeah. It's still there? Yeah, it's on his roof. It's in the car. Right. So, all right. When are we doing this? When are we doing this event? Memorial Day Friday. Right, baby. All right. What is the date? Anybody know that date? It's one month from today. All right. So, we're headed back to Canaan's Irish Pub. And this year, our sponsor...

is Coors Banquet. Ooh! Coors Banquet. For many years, it was Coors Light. This year, it's Coors Banquet. Coors Banquet, which, by the way, is Johnny's favorite beer on Cobra Kai. It's all he drinks on that show. They will have to do something Cobra Kai-related at the event. That's a good idea. Yeah, right? Most definitely. And so, yeah, what's going on that weekend, Scott? Because we always ask you about that. What?

That's a crazy weekend. All weather driven, as we all know. Yeah. Last year was great weather. But we have the usual. We have Masquerade there. We have FM Band, the Giuliano Brothers. And, you know, since it was a good year for sports season, maybe we'll bring a little bit of hardware down here for your 20th anniversary with a special guest dropping that off. Oh, nice. We had hardware there before. And somebody had laid brains on it and didn't let me know that they laid brains on it until after I kissed it.

I mean, they put their nutsack on it? Yeah. And then you kissed it? And then I kissed it. This time, kiss the nutsack and then let them rub it off. Wow. Yeah, so obviously, we tear it up while we were there. There's a lot going on. We fill the morning with contests for people that are there live. We try to give you an idea of what's happening if you can't make it. But I mean, there's a space for a couple thousand people. Again, you...

You've obviously seen this go down every year when we've done it, Scott. And I'm sure you've told people what it's like. And they think they have an understanding of what it's like. And then if they show up...

You can see their eyes roll white. They can't believe what's going on. It's unlike any event throughout the year. Kenan's stands as a completely off-the-charts event, right? I mean, for you, it's got to be, if not one of the biggest, the biggest. Absolutely. It is the biggest event. You know, you still get those butterflies before you open those doors. That's like going into a game. Yeah. But, you know, the most important thing is you create events.

Yeah. And we create events for people's 21st birthdays. It's people, you know, we have 75-year-old ladies celebrating their birthdays, flashing you guys. That was my mother. It's what I really do. You know, there's so many things that I love about the event, but one of the things I do love is the age disparity in the audience. Yeah. You get kids that...

First 21, right? Sorry to call you a kid, but 21-year-olds who have heard this for years and years and finally they can get to go, and they're there with grandmom. I love it. And everybody gets along so good. Everybody's in the best mood. I agree. I agree.

You know what I get a kick out of is you guys don't see the behind-the-scenes stuff that's going on, but when you go into the quote-unquote backstage area of Kenan's Irish Pub, the amount of prep work that they've done to get ready for the weekend. It's astonishing. The beer, all the limes and lemons that are cut up for the bartenders, and all this stuff in these barbacks. How many people do you have...

Like working on that day, do you think? That morning we have about 80. 80 people! Oh my gosh, really? Yeah. The amazing part is that you walk in and you go outside and you walk around, you sense obviously the volume of people there, but I never feel like, oh, I

this is too much. Like, it's all managed well. There's enough breathing room. you have tons of space. You have a lot of indoor space and then you really have a really great, sexy outdoor space as well. Yeah, well, I had a lot of years to mess it up. Practice makes perfect. Finally got it right. It was 26 years. I mean...

Do you guys have any favorite moments that come to mind? I know I'm putting you on the spot because there's too many memories. I know you have least favorite ones. Well, wheel of haircuts every year. Wheel of haircuts? Because the commitment, especially for someone with long hair and especially a woman, to go into Memorial Day weekend...

and getting their head shaved in whatever pattern we decide is going to be funny, to me, that's like a really great, dedicated listener. I love wheel of haircuts. Two things for me. It would be the wheel of tattoos and the super large penis tattooed on the guy's thigh. But also, I forget who the player was, one of the Eagles players.

Oh, no. Backstreet Boys. Backstreet Boys. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. No, it was... NSYNC? No, no, no. New Kids on the Block. Earlier Kids. Oh, geez. New Kids on the Block. Who was it? It was Danny and Jordan were the two that came by. That was awesome. And that was a blast. So here's a little one. This was less stunty, big and flashy and messy. But the year that we did, that we shaved...

guys' chest hair to look like bikini tops. I thought that was a lot of fun. That was one of my favorite moments. You know what also stands in my mind? I forget which Eagle player it was, but it came out. This guy was, at the time, I forget who it was, but you're going to a stadium. That's your job. You're surrounded by thousands and thousands of exuberant fans.

And this guy walks in and his jaw drops like, what the hell is this? Was it Selig? It might have been Selig's first time out. He was surprised when he came. The first time out, he was like, I didn't know this is what I was walking into. Yeah. You never know how it's going to turn out. We do know it's over the top as always.

And we're going to start kicking around some ideas of what we want to do. Well, you already know we're going to do the diarrhea dunk tank. So that's... That's that, Scott? Yeah, that was great. That was one time where you were like, I don't think I'm going to invite you back next year. I have some good ones and bad ones. But, you know, start off the day with Matt.

Singing the national anthem. That always gives everybody a jump start. Yes. First and foremost. But some of my bad ones was the dunk tank. And when the cops pulled me outside and said, you're not really shooting people in the ass, are you? Oh, yeah, yeah. With a BB gun. Yeah. New Jersey's got some strict rules about guns and even replica guns. Give me like water guns. We didn't know that. We did not know. No. But you learned.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, if we don't get chastised, we don't learn, right? Right. And it does happen from time to time. We did some stuff outside a little while back that we got a little bit rash and a crap for, but whatever, man. So we're getting ourselves set for this. Anything going on in that weekend that you want to mention as well, Scott, at Keenan's? No. You know, it's just a lot of new faces, a lot of new people. The biggest question on Memorial Day weekend is, excuse me, sir, where's your bathroom at?

So you know they haven't been there yet. One of my favorite post-Kenan's event was we came back from that weekend and somebody had sent us a picture of

of like two or three people passed out on somebody's front lawn and the caption they sent was you guys broke North Wildwood just to let you know because it was from later that day so alright man well alright but anything else as far as the bar goes that you want to mention events coming up or things that you've done or well we went old school this year we're bringing back a couple old school traditional Wildwood bands like Love See Mama Jump oh wow that's so cool yeah oh my god um

We got Beer 30. Going to play there a few times. Chuck's band. Chuck's band. Yeah. We got Chuck coming down there. We got a couple old school bands that we're just finalizing right now. We went back to traditional. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love seeing Mama Jump was like my shore date. Yes.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you, Kathy. I'm getting backlogged with stuff, and I apologize for the things that I haven't had enough time to get to, events that are coming up. I've got to mention the Take Steps Walk for Crohn's.

And colitis. Oh, yeah. You know, I've been hosting this event for, I think, 10 years now. And it's going to be, it's changing. It used to be on a Sunday. And this year, it's the day before the MMRBQ, Friday, May 9th. Oh, nice. And it's in the evening. It's normally like a morning slash afternoon event. That's a big change. Yeah. And this will be at Citizens Bank Park.

So it's a really, really cool event. And obviously my youngest has Crohn's disease. So it's something that's very personal to me. And you can get your team signed up now. And yeah, but do a search on the Take Steps Crohn's and Colitis Walk. So you're hosting that the night before the barbecue? The night before the MMO. You got a busy weekend, my friend. There were like...

Two or three. That's why I'm not going to go to the truest golf event. Yeah. I've had an invite to go, but I'm already doing Friday and Saturday and Thursday. Yeah, it's just too much going on. But anyhow, you can do the takesteps.cronescolidisfoundation.org.

Do we have it on presidency.com yet, Nick? Not yet, but we'll make sure we get it posted for you. Oh, we have a website? We have a phone. That hasn't worked, by the way, with the additional technological advancement. Let me see if we can take a call right now. Hang on here. Hello, can you hear me? I can hear you! We're right here in the room with you. So we have...

Rodney came and he started to set up a phone cord, which I'm showing on the YouTube camera right now. And we taped it to the antique phone that Steve bought me. It works, man. Listen, sometimes it works. Patch things together, but it's working. Yeah, so far, so good. He clears a bell.

It's amazing, isn't it? Keep it simple, stupid. That's what we did. My wife and father-in-law were driving together the other day and they were tuning into the show and he was cracking up at this phone bit. Oh, really? He thought it was the funniest thing he's heard in a really long time. So, Bob, that one's for you, bud. I mean, we're a radio show that takes...

phone calls for Christ's sake. No, we're not. No, we're not. We're actually just a radio show now. Yeah, haven't been for a couple of months it seems like. Yeah, it seems like. All right. Well, it is time. It's a Friday. Connoisseur. Where's your bell? Come on in. I can't do it until you. There it is. There we go. It's time for the Connoisseurs.

Yes, and the connoisseur is presented by Acme, the official supermarket of the Preston and Steve show. We'll be giving away $50 Acme Market gift cards along with the food clips, the movie clips about food that we will play in a moment or two. But I'll dive into a couple of things before we get that first story. So here we go. First one out of Philadelphia. And I got this from philly.eater.com.

And Melissa McCart had written this article. But it's some of the new restaurants opening in Philly this month. Oh.

And so there's three to mention. There's one in Queen Village. In fact, I believe a couple of these are already open. Yes, this is now open. It's called Casa Nostra. La Casa Nostra. Oh, that's right next to Settle in Hong Kong. So the BYOB Italian restaurant features a menu of starters like eggplant roulatini, antipasto, and crab cakes, gnocchi, and risotto. Okay. Yeah. Hong Kong. Thank you. Okay.

That's a departure for an Italian restaurant. A con con? A con con. Average costs are $30 to $50. Reservations available on open table, and they're located at 775 South Front Street. And so the principle is you go in, you order the food, and you can eat it there. Yeah, yeah. That's kind of how the concept works. Wow. Then in South Philly, there is a takeout only place called South Sichuan. So in this case, you are not invited to come in and eat.

No, this is takeout only. It is open and they serve an array of regional dishes including cold sesame noodles, beef noodle soup, lo mein, three cup chicken, and mapo tofu. There's also a choose protein section that allows customers to pick among cumin, black bean, salt and pepper, and Kung Pao seasonings.

She is honestly, her culinary abilities span the globe. From a giant to a Chinese. There needs to be Kong Kong chicken. If there's Kung Pao chicken, it's got to be Kong Kong chicken. Made the way Nell would make it, finding it at the side of the road. By the way, South Sichuan is located at 1548 South 19th Street. We need Nell's roadkill cook. Kong Kong.

What am I eating here? Nell's Roadkill Cafe. Roadkill Cafe, yeah. That's it. Yep. There was... I just saw this week there's a...

A Chinese food place that is right around the corner from here in West Philadelphia. And the gentleman who owns it, he's an African-American chef restaurateur, and he does his own sort of take on classic Chinese food dishes. Right. And I saw it, and I was like, okay, I need to get there. It looks good? It looks good. Yeah. It looks good. Okay. It looks good. So would that qualify as fusion? No.

Yeah. Yeah. Most likely. Yeah. Marissa knows. Casey, is it called Black Dragon? Yes. Yes. Yeah. I am. The food that he makes is so damn good. He's been making it for a while. I'm like drawing a blank on his name right now. Kurt Evans. Who's Leroy? Kurt Evans is his name. He's been opening this place for years. It finally opened up and the food is phenomenal. Oh, all right. Excellent. Black Dragon. Let's go. Let's go.

Casey, let's make a date. Let's go. All right, one more. In University City, neurosurgeon Hamza Shaikh and his wife Farah Khan have opened up Haraz Coffeehouse.

The first Yemeni coffee house in the city. And it was the inspiration came from their visit to a Yemeni coffee house in Patterson, New Jersey. I love the slogan. Yemeni is Yemeni. They are franchising location with Hamza Nazer, the founder of Haraz.

And the chain comes from Dearborn, Michigan and now has 26 locations. Do you think we're dealing with, in this case, a more potent coffee, like a Greek coffee? I have no idea what Yemeni coffee is like. Anybody ever had it? What's that? I'm sure it's like Arabic coffee. It's strong. It's from one Yemen road, Yemen. Oh.

That Greek coffee. Greek coffee is potent. My brother's mother-in-law used to make it when she was alive. And like my sister-in-law had a hard time drinking regular coffee. It comes in a very small. Oh, she used to make some drink. It was like she would shake coffee and something else. And it was over ice. I thought that's what you were talking about. No, no. I'm talking about straight up. Okay.

Greek coffee. Potent. Potent. By the way, so Haraz Coffee House is at 3421 Chestnut Street, if you're interested. So those are some new places that have opened or are opening soon. I should get more adventurous. I should try. Hey, look, I did sushi. You did sushi? Yeah, you did. That's pretty cool. You're working on it. I'm trying. Maybe Yemeni coffee's next. So I just, because I was interested in what this coffee was. It's one of the most expensive coffees in the world. Oh.

Oh. Yemeni coffee is? Yeah. Okay. Just the high production cost, strong demand, limited spaces. What monkey craps those beans out? It's got to be imported as well. Yeah. All right. Let's play a clip. See if we can identify what movie this food clip is from. Here we go. Hug it out.

Luisa can't lift an empanada. Mariano's nose looks like a smashed papaya. Have you lost your mind? Okay, let's see if you know what movie that is from. If you do, you need to text ZOOM to 610-660-9333 for today's link.

We'll send that to you. You click on that and then we'll see if you can get through. Or you can just drive by One Bell Plaza and just yell it out your car window. In the meantime, another story. Oh, no. Sorry. Stop. Wait, wait. I'm going to play another clip. No, no, no. We got to get a winner first. Let's see. I'm all out of whack. Hang on. Hang on. You just did the clip. You just gave the Zoom link number. Yes. Now it's time for another story. Yes. My fault. All right. We're good. My fault. My fault.

All right, Kathy. Wait, I think I'm... If it's what I think it is, I'm ready. Khloe Kardashian, okay, is throwing her hat into the protein snack ring with the launch of cloud protein popcorn. Kathy is eating actual popcorn in the studio like Khloe Kardashian.

I saw this story. Yeah, you saw it already? Is that protein popcorn that you're eating? No, it's Wise, I think, from our vending machine. Hang on. I want to video you on my own phone so I will always have this with me. Can you please do that? This is from that horrible commercial she did where she was sitting with her kids eating popcorn with her talons. That's so good. Yeah.

Oh, my God. So it's cloud spelled K-H-L-O-U. Which is confusing. Stop it. You don't want to do that. And by the way, again, in this picture, she looks nothing like herself. So it's a high protein take on everyone's favorite movie night munch. Each serving comes with seven grams of protein. Thanks to something that she calls K-H-L-O-U.

Cloud Dust. K-H-L-O-U-D. Cloud Dust. A proprietary seasoning mix fortified with milk protein isolate. And the popcorn is air popped. It's made from non-GMO whole grain Nebraska corn, gluten free, kosher, and notably free of seed oils.

Flavors include white cheddar, olive oil and sea salt and sweet and salty kettle corn. And the snack officially hits Target shelves and cloudfoods.com on April 29th. So I think that you're seeing a lot of these protein snacks. There's protein chips, there's protein popcorn. I think because of the weight loss medications because you're supposed to prioritize protein when you take them, right? So I've seen these protein snacks and new ones pop up all over the place. To counter the weight loss drug? I don't know. I'm just wondering. Maybe that's it. No, I mean...

I don't necessarily know if those two are connected, but there definitely is an uptick in way to proteinize your stuff. Yeah. You have protein pasta now. By the way, you can overdo protein. Sure. Yeah. Sure, sure, sure. Now, there's also another way to make your pasta a little bit more protein rich by mixing in...

cottage cheese into the pasta sauce. So you puree the cottage cheese and it kind of creamy and it cremes up the sauce. I had cottage cheese in my con con. Great idea. It's really, really good. So, uh,

By the way, there is a boom in protein-filled popcorn. So it's been heating up with a lot of different brands. Kudos Snacks has its sprouts with flavors like garlic parmesan and salty sweet. Icon Meals has carved out a space in gyms and supplement shops with their peanut butter vanilla protein popcorn.

Kettle Brothers, Omaha, and I Want Organics are all crowding the shelves with their own protein-packed flavored popcorn options. I've seen them. Obviously, I'm a massive popcorn fan. Even Allmax offers Hexapro protein popcorn, and that is a massive 40 grams of protein per bag. Jesus, that's like you're eating a couple of Metrex bars. So they're saying that Khloe is stepping into a crowded aisle, but...

She has strong branding, and it may do well, so we will have to see. Knock them dead, sweetie. Thank you for that, Kathy. All right, let's see if you know what movie this is from. Hug It Out?

Luisa can't lift an empanada. Mariano's nose looks like a smashed papaya. Have you lost your mind? All right, we via Zoom are going to Jennifer. Good morning, Jennifer. Good morning. All right, Jennifer, can you name that movie? It's Encanto. Encanto! Yay!

It's correcto. Hang on a second because we're going to give you 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. That means we have another clip to play.

So let's see if you know what movie this one is from. I'm going on a diet. What diet are you on? Eggs and grapefruit. Oh, I was on that one. Lots of luck. It's not so bad. How long you been on it? All day. All day? It's one o'clock. If you know the answer, text the word ZOOM to 610-6600-9333. We'll send you the link. Before I do the next story, this is more of a mention. It's from an email that I got from someone. Hmm.

This is from...

It doesn't say who it's from. It just says from Comcast. So this is from a guy named Paul. He says, hey, Presbo, the next time you're in Westchester, please come down to Diascenzo's Gelato located at 132 East Gay Street. And this is why he wants me to come by there. He says, we have Belgium butter cookie gelato made from Biscoff cookies. Oh, that's so funny. That's your jam. Love it.

Thanks. Been a listener since DRE and that is from Paul. Save that. I want to take it. I'm going to Westchester this weekend. It's alumni weekend. Okay. I'll save this for you. Excellent. All right. Let's see. Order up.

All right, this is a bit off the wall for the connoisseur, but it's an email that I got from a listener named Dana Dillon. She's a web content developer for QVC Group. And I might have to pull up the web page. Oh, yeah, I have it pressed. Oh, you do? Yeah, she emailed me as well. Okay, so it's a website that has a map of...

where people can pin, who view this map, edible plants like fruits and so forth and nuts and so on that can be foraged by the public, and it's mostly in urban areas. So you can go out and pluck something off a plant and eat it? We have...

two trees right in our park, right next to our parking lot that are apparently fruit or nut bearing trees that are on this map. Yeah, it's called fallingfruit.org. Yeah. And it has edible trees, plants, like fiddle figs all over the area. And if there is a

if there's a way to tag that plant, then fallingfruit.org can let you know whether or not it's edible. That is cool because I have been licking the speed bump. But now that I know there are other options out there, I will do that. So they're right next to St. Asaph's Road. And if you zoom out on this, you will see, I mean, there's... Oh, wow.

Hundreds and hundreds of different pinned locations. If you click on it, will it tell you exactly what you're eating? It will. So I'll tell you what's right outside here. Yeah, I'm a little peckish. Hang on a second here. I zoomed out. I love some parking lot food. Too far. Ah, damn it. Oh, here we go. Hang on a second. Ballot Kenwood.

Like a dumbass, I scrolled out. We can do it. It's on the big screen here, Preston. Okay, so yeah, if you could touch on one of those pins. So we have a stone fruit tree.

which I do not know what stone fruit is like, but apparently it's edible. Go over to the other one if you could, please. And then, oh, it disappeared. There it is. We have a eastern white pine tree. Sounds delish. So maybe it's pine nuts. I don't really know.

Touch on another one or two. We'll see. There's a ginkgo biloba. There's a ginkgo tree, which you can get ginkgo biloba from. They're stinky. Are they stinky? Ginky is stinky. There's a black locust tree.

I don't know what fruit comes from some of these trees. They should have them listed as sweet and savory and what meal they'd be appropriate with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, what's this site again? It's called Falling Fruit, Nick? Yeah, fallingfruit.org. And you can sign up real quick and you can have access to the whole thing if you do it that way. But it's kind of an interesting thing that you might have food that you can actually forage nearby you. It's the ultimate in alfresco dining. Totally. Totally.

Did you guys ever have fruit trees in New York when you were a kid? What did you have? As an adult, I had apple trees. Okay, Kathy and Steve. Pear tree. Okay. Case, did you have any? Just crab apples, but you don't eat those. We had apple trees. My mom and sister, when they bought a house in Florida ages ago, that's the coolest because they had grapefruit, they had orange, and they had lemon. Nice. We had a grafted apple tree when I was a kid in the house in Paoli. And so it was four different types of apples coming off of one tree.

Wow. Oh, wow. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it was really neat. What was I... Now I forget what I was going to say. By the way, did any of these trees, while you're thinking of that, Kathy, did they draw bees? Yes. Well, especially when the fruit would fall. Yes. And it would rot. Yes. They would naturally attract a lot of bees. Stinks! My neighbors have...

fruit trees. They have a bunch of different ones. I don't know. I know there's an apple over there. I don't know exactly what they are. I'd have to ask my brothers because when they come over, my brother walks across the street and picks from their tree and eats their fruit. No kidding. I swear. One day he came in, he was eating. I was like, where did you get that? He's like, did you know your

know your neighbors have a bunch of bird trees? I was like, yeah, I did. You just went over and... You're not supposed to just go over and... It's not an invitation. This stuff is just sitting out on the kitchen table. General rules don't typically apply if you have the last name Romano. Oh, okay, with the last name Romano.

But I mean, it would be kind of cool to have like a walnut tree or a pecan tree or- Nut and broil tree? I didn't think about nut trees. We have a lemon tree and it does okay. Occasionally, if you're lucky, you'll get one or two pieces of fruit on it. It's just not an environment where it grows well. It's inside at least half of the year. We had a hybrid tree once. It was supposed to grow different types of fruits. It never, nothing ever happened and I got angry and ripped it out one day.

By the way, that's what I do when I get angry. You kill it. No, I go outside and rip out the things from my garden that piss me off. Get me the ax. I swear. All right, so if you want to check it out, it's fallingfruit.org. And Dana Dillon, thanks for sending that over. Yes, very nice. I will see if you know what movie this particular clip is from. I'm going on a diet. What diet are you on? Eggs and grapefruit. Oh, I was on that one. Lots of luck. It's not so bad. How long you been on it? All day.

All day. It's one o'clock. All right. We will go to Michael. We have. Hey, Michael, how you doing? Good morning to see you. Good morning. And Michael, I recognize you. Michael is a chef at Philly Cricket Club. And dude, how crazy how crazy is it right now with you guys getting ready for the truest championship next week or when it's coming up?

It's intense. It's like nothing I've been a part of before. All right. Well, I will see you on Tuesday for the Devereux Classic. You going to be there? I will be. Excellent. All right. So he's a great guy, big listener of the show. Tell me what movie that clip is from.

That's the heartwarming Requiem for a Dream. That is correct. Yes. Well done. Mike, hang on the line, and we're going to set you up with that $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.

right here to our Acme Fresh Foods local flavors. All right, let's tee up another clip and see if you know what this is from. Still, one at 10, one being not so extreme and 10 being extremely extreme. I give this a 9.5! Woo-hoo! Check it out, extreme cheddar! Woo-hoo! All right, if you know what that's from, take Zoom, 610-660-9333. Order up. Oh, Casey, I'm sorry. It's time for...

The Fast Food Roundup. All right, I have some fast food stories and I've bundled them together. We're going to start with this. KFC has a new offer for its rewards. Remember, you can get any two sides and drinks for $7 when you order the KFC through the KFC mobile app or website. To get the deal, go to KFC.com or the KFC app. Speaking of Kentucky Fried Chicken, last night I was on YouTube just searching for videos to watch kill a little bit of time and

One that was in my algorithm was from the movie Green Book. Yes. Viggo Mortensen. And there's a scene. He plays Tony Lip, the driver. And there's a scene where they're driving through Kentucky. And he's like, hey, there's a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Let's get some. And he is the biggest slob in the world. And he's driving with one hand. And he's eating this greasy, nasty chicken just tearing through it.

And it's simultaneously hard to watch, yet makes me hungry at the same time. Yeah. Because it looks like it tastes so damn good. He's just like, oh, my God, this is amazing. Years ago, we went to the, I'm sure you probably went to the original Kentucky Fried Chicken. I've been a couple times. We went, yeah. Yeah. And I don't know, the original, it was awesome. It's better there.

Yeah, it is. It really is. The gravy that they would use on their mashed potatoes was different than the rest of the chain. It tasted a little more greasy and yummy. It did. But yeah, the original KFC, I don't know if it's still there or not. Yeah, it may not be. I think it might be gone. You know, it's featured in the movie Goldfinger. Is it really? Yeah. Wow. All right, so you have to redeem the offer before you check out to get the discounted $7 price and

this is available for a limited time. Participate in KFC locations nationwide. Here's another fast food story. McDonald's is finally bringing back chicken strips as opposed to nuggets. And this time, they're going to stick around. The new McCrispy strips are golden, peppery, and paired with a sweet and savory creamy chili dip, which is launching nationwide on May 5th.

Fans begged for the return for years, apparently. And now the crispy prayers have been answered with even more chicken goodness like the McCrispy sandwich on the horizon. So they are really, you know. I was a fan. I tell you what, though. Like chicken nuggets and chicken strips and chicken sandwich are my favorite comes from Hip City Veg. Yeah. That whatever they use, I assume it's.

State 10 or whatever. State 10, yeah, probably. Yeah, but whatever they're using, it's like the way Steve Wilson's... Possible. Yeah, it's my favorite cheesesteak. I'm sure that this sounds asinine when I say it, but to me, chicken nuggets are kind of for kids and chicken strips are for adults. I can see that.

when it comes to the McDonald's. And for whatever reason, I love them both, but I feel like I'm more of an adult when I'm having a chicken strip as opposed to a nugget. But I love me some... So McDonald's has the $5 meal deal now. Okay. So you get... I get the McDouble, right? So it comes with McDouble. It comes with small fries, small drink, and four-piece nuggets. Do you prefer nuggets to strips? I used to hate chicken McNuggets, and then they changed the recipe, and now I love them. So what I like to do is I prefer to eat the nuggets while I'm driving...

Because usually the cheese isn't fully melted on the burger yet, so you need to... So you're letting it sort of cook. Yeah, you got to cook that. Smart. And the fries in the bag, because I prefer my fries to be a little bit more soggy. Yeah. And so you leave them all in the bag. So you prefer those? Yeah. Okay. Let me correct you. It's pronounced nubbits. Nubbits. Y'all. I'm into nubbits. Nubbits. Y'all. I have no idea if you still have that or not. I made a flub.

on the air ages ago and said Nubbets. Was that it? Yeah, Nubbets. I'm into Nubbets, yeah. I'm into Nubbets, yeah. I'm into Nubbets, yeah. Just wanted to correct you on that. Nubbets. And then one last fast food thing. Arby's has the golf swag. The fast food outlet is teaming up with Happy Gilmore

for a new line of golf merch. The Birdies and Beef collection. Birdies and Beef. Features polos decked out in curly and crinkle fries. Okay. A beef rope hat and golf balls stamped with their iconic beef and cheddar.

The face of the campaign is real life Ball State University golfer Landon James Happy Gilmore. Seriously. Oh, get out. Yeah, his last name is Gilmore, who's combining his love for golf and roast beef in this limited edition. Drop.

Whether you're hitting the greens or the drive-thru, the collection brings Arby Flair into your fairway game. So you can get that now through Arby's. They do some fun stuff at Arby's. I love kitschy stuff like that. Every time we get like swag from Duncan, I love all that stuff. I agree. I agree. All right, we'll see if we can find somebody who knows where this clip comes from. Still a 1 to 10, 1 being not so extreme and 10 being extremely extreme. I give this a 9.5.

Check it out. Extreme cheddar. All right, we're going to go to another Mike. We got Mike on the line. Yo, Mike, good morning, buddy. Hey, good morning to see you. Good morning, it brother. What movie does that come from?

That's Harold Kumar. Yes. Go to White Castle. We'll give you that. A couple of Harold Kumar movies. But hang on because we're going to set you up with a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry. Acme's Flash grocery delivery and pickup kits. Fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less.

Fast, fresh, right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods and local flavors. All right, let's tee up another clip. We have two more to play. Do you know what movie this comes from? Let's go buy a big bag of Doritos and eat them in the car to celebrate your wait list. Don't tell mom about the Doritos or the wait list. All right, you need to text Zoom to 610-660-9333 and we'll see if you can get through and get on. All right, order up. Let's saw this article.

It's hard for some to say, but here's the question. How long does Worcestershire sauce actually last? Probably like 20 years or so. Something like that, right? It is one of the perennials in your refrigerator with A1 and... Mully and Perrins. Yeah. Although...

It's never been in my refrigerator all my life. We've just left it in a cabinet and have used it after years of being there. Yeah, so I don't have any of that. We don't use, you know, we don't even really stake in the house and so on and so forth. But in my growing up, A1,

Worcestershire teriyaki sauce. Sure. When we had steak, there was always A1, Worcestershire, and for my little brother, ketchup on the table when we would have steak. I will tell you, my buddy Stork, you guys know Wayne, used to work at Y100. He would make scrambled eggs with Worcestershire sauce in it.

Really, really good. Everybody thought the stork was brain damage. So we had Wishes Here A1 soy sauce. Soy sauce is another one. And that's another one that we just leave in the cabinet. I think you're supposed to refrigerate it, but

It's all bad for you. You're still here? Yeah. I've mentioned this before, but there's this sauce from Costa Rica called Luzano. And I brought it up on air one time and somebody sent me a bottle. It's sort of like all of these ones that you're describing. There's like a tamarind taste to it, a bit of a tangy taste. And it's my favorite of all.

All of those. And I just, I had it one time in Costa Rica 21 years ago. And it's Steve. And so it was so nice to this listener. I hope you're listening right now because I'm out. Is it primarily a steak sauce? Mostly, but you can put it on eggs and you know, like, yeah, any, any like thing you want to spice up a little bit. When in doubt, I just put it in the refrigerator. Like I have things in my refrigerator probably don't need to be there. Or should be there. Well, not tampons, but I have, um, like,

I put all of my vitamins in the refrigerator. Not all of them. One vitamin requires it to be in the refrigerator. All of them go in there. Rochelle puts a, it's some kind of a moisturizing cream or something that's supposed to help with like sunburn or whatever in the refrigerator. Probably because it's cooling. So if you need to use it for sunburn and stuff, it's even more cooling. But it stays in there a year. I got you a gift for Rochelle's birthday. Yeah.

A mini fridge for wraps. Good idea. No, but I have some of my skincare stuff in the refrigerator too. Really? It's a pain because I got to walk downstairs from the bathroom where I usually do my skincare routine. People put suppositories. I think they're supposed to be. Are they supposed to be refrigerated? Some of them are. If you're using them for steak? No. Antibiotics and things like that are supposed to be put in the fridge. There are some medications that are supposed to be refrigerated. But things that aren't supposed to be refrigerated are taking up

Valuable real estate. I know. In your refrigerator. Sorry. Steve, you mentioned it as a joke, but will women put feminine products in the freezer or fridge? I've never heard of that. Okay. I've never done that. I'm going to try it. I put my Benoit balls in the crisper. Listen, I'm obviously not a female, so I don't know what that can feel like from time to time, but I do know that people... A little chill would be nice. I think my Massengill's shaken, not stirred, please. Yeah, yeah.

All right, so back to Worcestershire sauce. It seems to take forever to use a bottle, but that's okay. Worcestershire sauce lasts a long time thanks to all of the vinegar and salt that's packed into it. So that helps it stay good for consumption. If you've got an unopened bottle, it can stay good for up to five years.

Even though most brands suggest using it within about 18 months to three years. The old litmus test would be how crispy the residue was around the top of the bottle. I don't want to eat anything that's five years old. Once you open it, it'll still be fine for years as long as you keep the cap on tight and store it somewhere cool and dark.

You don't have to put it in the fridge. Oh, there you go. But doing so can't help it stay fresh longer. If you're wondering if it's gone bad, give it a sniff. If it smells weird, then it's good. If it looks cloudy or moldy, or if the plastic bottle feels puffed up, it's probably time to toss it out. But for the most part, this is one of those condiments that can hang out in your kitchen for ages without a problem. Yeah.

The longest lasting we determined was honey. Honey just doesn't go bad. I've had stuff puff up in plastic bottles occasionally. That's weird. I guess it's just like gaseous buildup or whatever that has been sitting around for so damn long. You can see the bottle expanding a little bit and you're like, all right, well, I guess I'll keep this for another year or two. All right. So I've been informed for the first time ever that

People don't know what the clip is. Really? Yeah. They got Requiem for a Dream and they didn't get this one? I'm surprised too. Let me play it again. All right. Let me play this again because I recognize the voices and I wouldn't have pegged this movie and I have seen this movie, but I definitely know who's in this clip. Here we go. Let's go buy a big bag of Doritos and eat them in the car to celebrate your wait list.

Don't tell mom about the Doritos or the wait list. I mean, that's Brian Cranston, right? I'm sorry. Yeah. Okay. I know the movie. I believe I know the movie. All right. Let's see if someone does indeed. Yeah. Write it down because I'm curious if they don't or not. Do you want to call me on the phone over here? Steve, can you hear me? I can hear you. Is this it? Is this it? It works.

No. No. It is not. But let's see if you know. All right. I do have another story so we can get that. Let's see. Webstaurant Store. Webstaurant. Yep. That's the name of it. That's so clever. Has analyzed 225 price to the 2025, not 225.

Has 2025 price data at major league stadiums across the country to come up with the most and least expensive hot dogs in the country at ballparks. Okay.

According to the research, the league average price, if you were to guess the average price of a hot dog at a ballpark in the country, what would it be? And these are major leagues. Standard hot dogs. Yeah, like seven bucks. Okay. I was going to say six. I'm saying five. All right, Steve's closest, $5.47. Okay. I guess you guys are both in the ballpark. Five is actually closest. The ballpark. You're closest. Yeah, you're right, $0.47. So...

Yeah, which actually I was kind of surprised at. I thought it would be a little bit more than that. But the most expensive hot dog can be found at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. It's because it's made of lost pets. It's almost $8, $7.96 each. Wow. The cheapest stadium for hot dogs this season is Chase Field, where the Diamondbacks play. That'll cost you $3.07. Nice.

What I'm thinking also, every park has their signature over-the-top dog. So do they have those listed or are these just the basic hot dogs? Well, yeah. Some of them are charging a fortune for their specialty dogs. At Globe Life Field, home of the Rangers, the Texas Rangers, they have a burrito version of the 24-inch broomstick dog. That's a two-foot-long hot dog. That's a two-foot friggin' hot dog. That's a sharing dog, right? So that's $36. Yeah.

and a hot dog triple play that's one chili cheese dog, one hot dog wrapped in bacon, and one hot dog honoring the opposing team. And that'll cost you $32.99. Three bucks? Yeah. All right. It's three hot dogs. Yeah, no, I get it. I went to BOGO night for hot dog night at the ballpark a week or two ago, and that used to be dollar dog night. And so it's two dogs for the price of one.

and that's fine. It's $2.50 or whatever, but the fact that they took away Dollar Dog Night still gets under my skin. It's such an easy promotional giveaway. Why? You're saving $1.50 on a dog or whatever, I don't know, or making $1.50 more. It just seems like it was a brilliant giveaway that people loved, and they took it away. By the way, there is a hot dog creation that I will eat with a knife and fork.

Which is? A chili dog. Oh, a chili dog. They're just too damn messy. They are sloppy. And they taste fantastic. And when I'm sucking on a chili dog. Sucking on a chili dog. Sucking on a chili dog.

No, I used the knife and fork method. I gave up eventually. I hear you, man. That makes sense. Too much, because half of that stuff ended up on my shirt. I just went to Landy Kitchen for lunch a couple days ago, and they have a hot dog on the menu, and I thought about getting it, and I didn't. And then the guy next to me had it, and I was so mad at myself for not getting it, because it just looks so good. You didn't alert any of the news channels? I did not. I did not.

Hey, by the way, the most expensive beer, that's a topic as well. Can I guess? Yeah. Is it Yankee Stadium? No. It's the Nationals. No kidding. Yeah, a beer is $15.40. That's our tax money. Does it come with a special cup?

God. It better. It does not indicate cases. Does it come with a two-foot hot dog? That's out of hand. It makes me so... I'm at the point where it makes me angry. Like, it never really used to, but I don't drink beer, so I'll get one of those seltzers. I normally will get High Noon. The High Noon, just at Wells Fargo Center, for one, is almost the price of the entire... Oh, boy.

Six pack or whatever. Yeah, I think they come in 12 at the liquor store. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. I think it's Casamigos. There's a tequila stand at the ballpark, which I don't know if it's new or not. It was my first time visiting at the game that I went to. I got two margaritas. They were delicious margaritas, but I got two doubles from me and my friend Tim. You want to guess how much two double margaritas at the ballpark? Oh, two doubles. Okay, I'm going to say $5.

$60. $63. Wow. Plus tip. It's one of those things where you run the credit card. I'm going to go get a couple drinks. You could have had one brunch. I know we have our caller on the line, but real quick, I'll tell you a brief story about being at a sporting event. We were at a Sixers game. Marissa was there.

We were at... What bar was that, Marissa? It was one of those private bars we got into. It's like what used to be the Curato Club. Yeah, it used to be Holt's. And so Marissa goes... We were sitting there talking. We're at the bar. She's like, I'm going to buy a drink, press. I'm like, oh...

Awesome. Thank you very much. How generous. And so it was at the time where I'd, this was years and years ago. I'd never had Whistlepig rye before. And I saw it on the shelf behind there. I'm like, well, let me get a Whistlepig on the rocks. And I get it. I'm tasting it. I'm like, damn, this is fantastic. And I walked away. And eventually, I think the receipt came or something like that. And I looked at it. And

And it was like $38 for one. For one pour. That's not a mixed drink. That's just booze on ice. It was insane. And I apologize to Marissa. Can I ask you? Because I had no idea. What were they putting in the ice? Yeah, right? Gold. Best drink I ever bought. Thank you, Marissa. Hey, by the way, if you guys are ever looking for hot dogs and you live in Colorado, go to the Shambles. They're only a dollar on Mondays. Shambles? Oh, my God.

In fact, you know someone who works there, don't you? Yeah, go say hi to my husband. All right, let's see if someone I got to finally identify this movie. Let's go buy a big bag of Doritos and eat them in the car to celebrate your wait list. Don't tell mom about the Doritos or the wait list. All right, we got to go to Joe. Hey, Joe, how you doing, man?

Hey, how are you guys doing? Awesome, buddy. Can you help us? Do you know what movie that is? Lady Bird? Lady Bird! Oh! That is correct, sir.

That was awesome! Everything that rocks. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. So, it's 9.27 a.m. Casey, where did you get a freshly cooked cheeseburger from? Because I smelled it immediately. It was in the parking lot. I was just sitting there. No, XU has Checkers Burgers. Hey. Hey.

I didn't just go and take it. Donnie said, hey, we got Checkers Burgers. And I said, okay, I'm going to take that. And then I don't even know what this is, but it has powdered sugar on it. So it's got to be good. Do you go on patrol? You'll come with stuff from other stations. We have no idea what's going on here. I think it's because I always offer stuff to the other stations. That's our mistake. We don't do that. Okay.

Just checking because I'm sitting here and I smell and I'm like, oh, Nick has one too. I saw Donnie in the hallway as well and then I was walking away from next to you and I saw Casey walking by and Casey and I cheers burgers. Preston, you and I. You and me next week we're eating turkey legs live on air. Yeah, man. Yeah. We're going to dive in. I was so hungry I could eat an entire James Harry. What's a James Harry? I don't know. It's just a saying. Hmm.

Really? Yeah. I've never heard of it. Have you guys ever heard of that before? No, no, no. I'm not familiar. No? No. You don't know James Harry? No. What does it pertain to? You know what? We're going to have to move on. We'll come back to this. Let's double back. Okay. I wasn't supposed to be talking. I was supposed to be eating a burger right now. Yeah, we're on the air. You're supposed to be eating and remain quiet. All right. Well, we have some guests in the studio. Before we bring them on, there are a couple things that I wanted to mention. A couple of plugs, charity plugs, as we call them, butt plugs on the Steve Show. Yes.

I got this email and I have to apologize to Nora Boyle because she reached out to me a little while back and they had an event last night and I meant to mention this. But there's a GoFundMe account set up for her and her family. They've been going through some really, really tough times.

She lives in Upper Darby. She has her fiancé. They've been engaged for 21 years. That's a long engagement. But they have two beautiful boys. Gregory, who is 19. Patrick, who is 7, with autism. But Greg, the dad...

found out that he has bone cancer. And so she said, he honestly only listens to your station. And she told me the rest of his story. He's had issues throughout most of his life that have been very, very difficult. But she says he's the main provider of the family. And just like that, he was told he can't walk or stand and he definitely can't drive.

And she said, I also got hurt while working. I had a surgery, three herniated discs, unable to work because of my workman's comp. Terrific. Can you please help my family? I'm just asking if you could share his GoFundMe. So, Nick, do we have that? We got it, yes. Okay, so you can go to the community page of PrestonAndSteve.com. When you go on, you got it at the top, you'll see the events page.

uh, button and click on that. Right, Nick? Yes, sir. Yeah. So it's, uh, just, um, work your way through the process, but there is a community events page on, uh, WMR.com. We've gone through a few changes over the last month or two. Um, but it is there. It's posted. And I looked at their GoFundMe and they're woefully short of what they're trying to get. Oh my God. So they need some help. They're in a bad way. They've got kids and family. And, and, uh, this is the, this is the guy who makes the money to keep the family afloat. Uh, and they were having, they had a beef and beer last night. Uh,

at the yard in Havertown and I completely missed that. So I hope that event went well and I apologize for not being able to mention that. But we have that GoFundMe set up on the website. So let's make sure we hit this a couple of times to sort of make up some ground. Yep.

There was another one. Let's see. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is totally different. It's a nonprofit. Okay. I wanted to mention this. I got this from Jessica Kubek, and she says, The Delaware Children's Theater in Wilmington is halfway through its run of the SpongeBob musical. Cool. Which, by the way, my youngest was a part of. They had one in Southerton, and it was so much fun. I loved it.

The Delaware Children's Theater is a non-profit community theater. It's quality entertainment for families. And in case you're wondering, we do have kids, adults, and teens in our productions.

These shows are coming up. There's one tonight, 7 o'clock, special evening performance. And this Saturday and Sunday. And then May 3rd and 4th are going to be the last performances. These are all SpongeBob or are they doing Glen Gary Glen Ross as well? I think it's just SpongeBob. So our production team and actors have done an amazing job bringing this show to life. And we would love to get a butt plug from you. There you go. Folks can visit...

D-E Children's Theater.org. And theater is spelled with an R-E, not E-R. All right. To purchase a ticket. So there's a plug-a-rooney there. This is not a plug, but it was an email that was sent to Kathy. And she said I could read it on the air.

This person says, hey, I heard some of your show yesterday. And as someone who also had a very strong reaction to sense when you brought up Casey's cologne and he said he was wearing a new one and kind of joked it off. And then she writes.

Did you want to kill him? I wanted to punch him through the radio. He knows how you are and just doesn't care. And then they write, or am I overreacting? But if someone here who knows a smell can cause a migraine for me in 10 seconds decided to just wear something new and sit next to me all day, I would be angry.

So now we go to Kathy for her response. No, I did not want to punch him. Fortunately, he's across the console from me, so it's tolerable. But if he was sitting next to me, it probably would bother me. And if Kathy ever said something to Casey about, hey, this bothers me. Yeah, he would. He would wear more of it. Besides, I wear cologne and I'm standing right next to you. No, he wouldn't wear it. No, he would not wear it.

All right, here's another one. This is a shout-out. It says, hey, my name's R2, also come to known as DeadR2D2 from the YouTube community. Oh, there you go. And I've been listening to you guys since I was about 12 or 13 years old from the old Y100 days. I shared a video on Instagram of my son, Roland, who was named after Roland Deschain from the Dark Tower series, my favorite book series, singing the Friday Froggy song. I remember that video. It was great.

He's a very talented singer and piano player with a perfect ear. And he said, I went through a very volatile separation with my ex-wife a couple of years ago and now cope with PTSD. Needless to say, I don't get many smiles these days, but the smiles I do get mostly come from the Preston and Steve show. My incredible...

My incredible... And also my incredible YouTube family and my little dude, Roland. Can I get a crappy chart out for all of you that I love so much? And he says, thank you, R2. So here you go. R2, hang in there, buddy. We can bring you a little bit of fun. Yeah, that's tough. And then here's the last one. It says, morning at Presbo. Could you please send a juicy shout out to my beautiful wife, Joan, April 24th. So I missed that.

It'll be our 43rd wedding anniversary. She's put up with me through thick and thin for all these years. The least I could do is request a super wet one.

Thank you guys for what you do. Keep it in nooch. That is Mark Emmons who lives in Florida and listens. There you go. We're making dreams come true this morning. Alright, we have our guests that are in the studio and they have been here before albeit we have I think a new roster of people that are joining us. It's the Academy of Vocal Arts. So,

When we were in the run-up to the Super Bowl, we had the Academy of Vocal Arts come by. And, in fact, two times they've done this. Yes, yes, absolutely. And good luck charm. And they sing the Eagles fight song. But they came by to sing something different for us this morning. It's in honor of MMR's birthday. We're going to get a happy birthday from these guys. But they have a show. They actually have an opera that is happening tomorrow night. And we want to welcome from the Academy of Vocal Arts Mr. Andrew Rowe with us here today. Hey!

Good morning, gentlemen. Thank you for having us. Nice to see you, Andrew. So you brought with you a group of people. By the way, do you sing? Yes, I used to sing, yes. No longer? Not anymore these days, no. I only do coaching. Okay. Yes. You don't ever just sleep in the shower and just whip one out? A little bit here and there. Okay, all right. But not with the group. No, no, no. All right, all right. No, no, no.

Okay, so we have joining us... By the way, you have an event, the opera, tomorrow night. What is that performance, by the way? So tomorrow night is the opening night of Pietro Mosconi's La Mico Fritz, which is actually a very rarely performed opera. And everyone here in the studio with me today from ABA is actually in the cast. So they're going to be singing. They're actually in...

They'll be singing, actually, in every performance between April 26th and May 6th. So we'll be in Center City, Delaware Valley University, and the Haverford School as well. So why do you think it's so rare that this is performed? Moscani really only wrote two songs.

well-known operas. The one is Cavalieria Rusticana, which is mainly only performed in Italy. It was actually the opera that was performed in Godfather 3, for a fact. When everyone gets shot at the end. And then this is the other one he did. This is kind of a little bit of a rom-com. It isn't your usual opera. No one dies. The soprano lives. There isn't a bunch of mystery and intrigue and

And, you know, no one gets sucked to the bowels of hell like Don Giovanni. And by the way, just again to reiterate, subtitles are provided for you. Yes, yes, yes. So it is sung in Italian, but we have English super titles. They're actually above the stage. You'll see a screen. Nice.

with the translations. I love that. You know what's going on. Yeah. Okay. And so we have four singers. We're going to meet them here before we get a happy birthday. Yes. Maybe a little something else we have to say. We have Veronica. First step up in the microphone. Hello. Veronica Ricker, is that right? Ricker. Ricker. You're close. Yes. All right. Where are you from, Veronica? I'm from Ohio originally. Okay. Very small farm town.

And so this, the Academy of Vocal Arts is why you came to Philadelphia? It is, yes. Wow, good for you. I got married here too in Philly. So how long have you been here? I've been here three years. We got married two years ago and I'm in my second year residency at AVA. Do you think you might remain or go back home or what's the plan? Just kind of feeling it out. We really love Philadelphia. It's a wonderful community. And you feel you would miss our show were you to move? Oh, absolutely. How could we not? Yeah.

And what range are you? I'm a soprano. Okay. Soprano. And it says here you're the upcoming lead soprano at AVA. Oh, well, that's fancy. I didn't know that, did you? Congratulations. Yay.

I just gave a promotion. Live on the Press. So we have another singer, Ala. Is that your name? Come on up to the microphone. Hi, my name is Ala. Ala. And Ala, you are, it says, from Ukraine via Australia. That's right. So tell us how that came about. Well, I was born in Ukraine. And then when I was seven years of age, my parents immigrated to Australia. And then I grew up...

basically for the rest of my life in australia i was gonna guess from ukraine well a lot of women from ukraine have a model-y look about them and it's just it's it's a fact i said i bet she's from ukraine there we go i try to look good for nine but then i said but there's a bit of aussie in there as well so in australia were you going to school for uh singing as well yeah

I was. Actually, since I was three years old, my kindergarten teachers found out that I can sing, and they put me on stage. And ever since then, my parents tried to foster that as much as we could. So when I was in Australia, I went to music high school. And so that's a big leap from Australia to Philadelphia. Yes, it is. Is it because of the academy? Absolutely. Okay. It's world-renowned? Everybody knows about it?

Everyone knows about it. It's top ten music schools in the whole world. That's a point of pride. You know? I mean, we have the Rocky statue and that. So that's good. And what is your range? I'm a mezzo-soprano. Mezzo-soprano? Yes. That's even higher than a soprano. That's actually even lower than a soprano. It's even lower than a soprano. See, we're well-schooled at opera. I literally just learned that word. It was in the New York Times crossword puzzle. It was the informally known in between soprano and alto. In translation from Italian, it's the half-soprano.

It makes us feel good. What's the one slightly above soprano? Isn't there one? Is there a distinction of... There's different Fox of soprano where our voice kind of likes to lie and tessitura and whatnot, but... I don't even know what you just said. She just ordered a meal from a little... I'm being ignorant at NAN. Pretty sure she just insulted you. It's deserved, I'm sure. All right, so we have Allah and then we have Cole. Yeah.

I'm not even going to try. Mackle-whom. Mackle-whom? Mackle-whom. Mackle-whom. Yes. Nick, would you have gotten that right? How do you spell it? M-C capital I-L Q-U-H-A-M. Yeah, so my last name is M-C capital I-L-W-A-I-N. And Casey and I were just chatting about this the other day. If it's M-C followed by an I or M-C followed by an E, it's usually pronounced Mack, like Mackle-quan.

Macawam. Macawam, yeah, or McElwain or Macintosh, something along those lines. So I probably would have gotten it right, but it's very difficult, and I'm sure you've been dealing with it your whole life. Yes. Yeah. Where are you from, Cole? I'm originally from Wisconsin. Okay. And how long have you been here? I just moved here in August. Oh, a newbie. Yeah, it's my first year at AB. All right. Get a little bit closer to the microphone, by the way. What do you think so far of the Philly area? It's great. Last year I was in Dallas. I kind of missed the heat.

but I love the city of Philly. It's a great place to be. Very cool. Yeah. Nice. Well, thank you for being here. And we'll meet one more singer. We have Raul who is joining us. And I say Raul because that's how he said his name when he told me. Velasco, is that your last name? Yeah, that's true. And where are you from, sir? I'm from Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz in Mexico. Oh,

Say that one more time. Quetzalcoatl, Veracruz, Mexico. I love it. Forget it. I love it. Veracruz. Let's say Veracruz. Yes. And you are, your range is... I am a base. A base.

You got the accent and the bass. Thank you so much. When I think of Mexico, I don't think of opera music. Me neither. That's why you're here. Is there more of a market for it than we realize in Mexico? Yeah, probably yes, but not as much as here. To be honest, here there are so many, many opera houses. That's why I came here for the opera.

For ABA. And I'm trying to get into the market, you know. Yeah. How old are you, by the way? I'm 30. You're 30 years old? 30 years old. You look 22. I know. I'm baby face. Yeah. Big time. How old is everybody else? Veronica?

I'm 29. All right. And Cole, how are you? I'm 26. Oh, my God. And you? I'm 24. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You're young and so talented, all of you. Excellent. All right. So we're going to get happy birthday from you guys. I understand. Right? Okay. Let's get that first. This is really cool for WMMOS. Yes. We're going to be turning...

By the way, 57 years old next Tuesday. Tuesday, yeah. And these guys, unfortunately, weren't able to come by on that particular day, so they're going to do this now. So you guys ready? AVA singers, operatic happy birthday for MMR. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, WMMR.

Happy birthday to you. Yeah! So good. Oh, my goodness. Hey, let me ask you, Ala, is there a happy birthday song in Ukraine? Is there a traditional happy birthday song, or is that unique to Ukraine?

tradition. There is. It's a different melody, but a lot of countries in the world have adopted the English happy birthday. Really? You find it around the world? Yeah. But there is, we have our own version. In Mexico they do it. It's Feliz Cumpleaños a ti, right? It's called Las Mañanitas. Literally means the little mornings, because it's a

pause, you go with mariachi in the very morning and you wake up your beloved one. Could you give us a little bit, Gino? Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David. Hoy por ser su cumpleaños te las cantamos aquí. Something like that. Something like that. The police cumpleaños would be the American version that they just translated. Okay, Alec, can you give us a little bit of the Ukrainian happy birthday? I can't, I've been westernized a little bit. Yeah.

We've beaten it out of you. Well, Veronica, how do they sing it in Ohio? Happy birthday. Well done. In Wisconsin, happy birthday.

Happy birthday. You know what I wanted to do? And by the way, there's a performance in opera tomorrow night. And you can get tickets at avaopera.org, by the way, Andrew.

Yes, that is correct. AVAopera.org. So here's what I wanted to do. I found a video, or actually the audio from a video I found on YouTube. Case, can you see if Marissa sent it over? Yeah. And it is of some of the most well-known operatic pieces. Yes. So for us, these are things that we would recognize. We would get this right on Jeopardy. No, we wouldn't know the answer. We wouldn't know the names of these songs. We would hear them and go, oh, yeah. I see. And if somebody asked you a name, you'd be like, oh.

I saw it on a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I don't know. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to have you guys grab your headphones. I am going to play a clip of a song. And if you know it, all right, immediately yell out the answer.

Are we good on that? I want to see who is the opera king here. It's a montage of them. As soon as you know it, say what song it is. Here we go. What is it? You know what I didn't write down? You're right. You're right.

Nailed it. Of course he got that one right. I think we know how to win this game. I'll pull it up. Hang on. Just confidently say something. I have the video here, and it has the answers in the video. But you have to wait because the ad is playing right now. Nassim Dorma? Yes. Yay!

All right, next one. Absolutely correct. All right, here, it's got to play all the way through. Because I don't recognize that one. No, you don't. But it's one of the most well-known. You'll recognize the high note. No, it's coming. And then it fades out. Okay, here's our next one. Let's see if you know it.

Queen of the night, Mozart. Queen of the night, Mozart. The magic flute. Der holle rasch. Here, you recognize this. Hold on. Right here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Amazing. How hard is that? Incredibly. Incredibly hard? Yes. Can you do it? No. I meant not to put you on the spot. Okay. No. I mean, I can like squeak it out, but it's a little too high for me. Why is it so difficult? Because it's so high? Because it's so high and because Mozart is just very particular in terms of technique and the control that it takes to sing Mozart in general. I've actually seen the magic fluid.

It's pretty amazing. They actually made a movie of the Magic Flute, the opera movie, yeah. I think so, yeah. And the one part, and pardon me, where she's going, ha-hoo, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, it's jumping pretty drastically from note to note. It is. It's an octave jump from an F to a, all the way up to a high F. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, that's vocal acrobatics. Oh, yes. All right, let's play the next one. Here we go.

Why is it not coming up? Yeah, they got it right. Largo al Factorum from the Barber of Seville by Rossini. That's a Bugs Bunny. Yes. All right, this one. I'm going to see if we can get the name of this song. Here we go. Here we go.

You recognize that, Rick Hayes? You might. Don't know that one. This is the one I meant. Let's see if you can get the name of this one correct.

Oh, it's Wagner. It's his marriage. It's the wedding song from... Do you know the title of it? Don't look at my answer over here on my screen, Colin. I had no idea that Wagner wrote that. That's the bridal march. It's called the Bridal Chorus. Okay. Tulek Gafurt.

Yes. You would know it as the theme to the A-Team. Yeah, yeah. But did you guys know that was Wagner? So my dad was a massive fan of Wagner. We'd listen to the Ring trilogy. Yeah, so that I did not know, though.

He was kind of a Nazi, right, Wagner? Yes, he was. He used to remove his gloves. If he played a piece by a Jewish composer, that when he was done, he would burn his gloves. Well, let's not hold that against him. He was a little ass back at the clubhouse, though. Let's do one more. It's all we have time for. Here we go.

Oh, come on. That's very short. Yes, Carmen. What is it? You're all speaking at the same time. What? Is that Boheme? No, it's actually Carmen. Yeah, La Boheme. Oh, it's not La Boheme? Yeah. Different opera than La Boheme? Yeah, this is La Boheme. La Boheme.

That's J.G. Wentworth. Yeah, J.G. Wentworth. See, we sing too. You know, Casey, they want to wow them. Okay. Three, two, one. Safe flight repair. Safe flight replace. How about that? Thank you.

Thank you. How about that? All right. Well, listen, just a reminder, there's a show coming up. And, Andrew, if you could mention the details of that once again, please. So we have Lomiko Fritz opening tomorrow night at AVA's Helen Corning Warden Theater down at 19th and Spruce. We'll be there until May 1st. And then we are at DelVal University next Saturday, March 3rd. And then the Haverford School on Tuesday. I'm sorry, May 3rd. And then Tuesday, May 6th at the Haverford.

Nice. Excellent. So if you're looking for something a little outside of the box to go and do and have a little bit of culture in your life, this is a really cool thing. Really excellent resource here of culture in our city that you may not be aware of. And you can understand the story because you said you have the titles with the dialogue. It makes it a more approachable experience for the neophyte. AVAopera.org for the information. So thank you, Raul Cole.

We will start with this story. I have a couple of interesting school stories back to back. Mary Tracy Morrison, the director of the Delta Institute for the Developing Brain in Jonesboro, Arkansas, has been charged with permitting child abuse after being accused of orchestrating a makeshift child abuse.

child fight club at her school. What the hell is this with these child fight clubs? A video surfaced showing a 30-minute incident where a teacher instructed a student to hit another in the private area. Three other employees, Michael Bean, Kristen Bell, and

Catherine Lipscomb were also arrested. Lipscomb, a licensed teacher and mandated reporter, was criticized for her inaction during the incident. I'm bored. Let's get the kids to fight. Morrison is being held $250,000 bond while the others have bonds ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 and all have been ordered to have no contact with the school or its students. Looks like somebody broke the first two rules, you know what I'm saying? Damn right. Teresa Isabel Bernal.

A 33-year-old mother was arrested after allegedly bringing vodka-laced jello shots to her child's fifth-grade Christmas party. Well, that's the best way to get them to fight. At Jones Elementary in Tyler, Texas. Gotta get them liquored up before they go to Bernal. Bernal claimed that she had... Now, I kind of

feel for this woman. So she claims she, if this is true, that she bought the Jell-O from a home-based sweet shop and was unaware that they contained alcohol. It's completely possible. I mean, why would you, if you have a child that's going to school there...

Why would you knowingly do that? There is no way of getting around to being found out. I don't drink and I've seen things and I've had no idea that they were alcohol based. Right. She reportedly realized the presence of alcohol only after the children had consumed some. The jello shots in red, blue and green colors were served in small cups, some topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Several students experienced stomach aches and headaches. One boy vomited twice and another reportedly passed out after consuming six alcohols.

servings of them. You better hold off on the snorting sticks. Burnell was charged with reckless bodily injury to a child booked into the Smith County Jail and released the same day on a $75,000 bond. Man. Based on serious charges. Yeah. The State Bar of California has revealed that artificial intelligence was used to develop 23 of the 101 scored multiple choice questions on the February bar exam. The

These AI-generated questions were created by ACS Ventures, a psychometric firm with legal training. And they were part of a new exam format that also included 100 questions from Kaplan and 48 from a first-year law student exam. Now, the exam...

Because essentially they're committing plagiarism. Yeah, and eventually we're going to have AI teachers probably. Yes.

Residents of Galveston and Jamaica Beach in Texas received an unexpected Easter surprise on Sunday when they learned that packages of cocaine had been washing up on nearby beaches. On Sunday, law enforcement issued a warning to residents that... You're supposed to hide them. That bundles of suspected narcotics had been found on the West End Beach. Like Easter eggs, right? Yes, exactly. Police believe that the drugs were likely dumped overboard by the crew of a smuggling ship, which had been raided by a drug enforcement officer group. That one.

According to investigators, the crew tossed packages overboard in an attempt to avoid capture. Several of the packages were caught by ocean currents, which deposited them on nearby beaches. Police urged the public to contact police immediately if they find anything unusual during their beach visit. It's not the first time packages of cocaine have washed up on the shores of coastal communities. Last year, more than 100 pounds of narcotics

were discovered along Florida shores in the wake of Hurricane Debbie. So I was watching a reel of people, boaters, just casual boaters, coming across bundles of stuff and stuff thrown overboard. It's pretty wild. All right, I have two more Easter-themed stories. In West Virginia, an 84-year-old man was critically injured after falling from a cross during a crucifixion reenactment in Weston, Virginia on Good Friday. Uh,

I don't recall Jesus falling. The man was participating in the reenactment with the Vandalia Community Christian Church. You suck. When he fell about 10 feet from one of the crosses and was flown to an emergency facility. The man was not a member of that specific church, but was simply assisting in the event. In the ICU, he was checked in with broken ribs. Doctors believe his injuries are now non-life-threatening. Jesus.

There's no word on what caused him to fall from the cross. You know, the one that freaks me out, and I think it might be in the Philippines, and in other countries as well, where people actually get nailed to a cross. That's just crazy. And then... If Pacino wouldn't do it, you don't do it. And then one last story. It's another Easter story.

One's quest for social media cred should never be supersized by logic and healthy behavior. Australian OnlyFans creator Renee Erica has reported landing in the hospital after engaging in something called the Carrot Challenge. The Carrot Challenge. The Easter theme stunt apparently went bad after Erica suffered internal injuries that required hospitalization. Now, I saw the setup video to this. Okay.

And all she's doing is she's holding two very large, not real carrots. Okay. Cheater. That look as if they are used for pleasure. Carrot dildos. Yeah, exactly. One's a really big one. The other one, yeah. Oh, that's absurd. Well, she ended up in the hospital. Of course. She said to be in stable condition and the carrot is probably inedible whether it is...

real or not. By the way, if you do that that way, does that help your eyesight? Maybe. Maybe. It might be. She's really cute, but not a good idea. No. Not a good idea. All right, and there you go. That's what I have in the bizarre file this morning. We'll take a break. We'll come back. Lesson question is up next. We'll get trash music news too. Stay put. We'll be right back.

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

WMMR.com. And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. Wow. What a time to be alive. Hey, how often do you call your mom? Every day? Once in a blue moon, maybe? Well, show the moms in your life how appreciated they are with Steven Singer's brand new limited edition 24 karat gold-dipped blue moon rose for Mother's Day. This is the perfect rose for your mother, the mother in your life, anybody you call mother. It's glorious. It's a beautiful color. It'll be a hit. Skip flowers that die in a week.

Steven's famous gold-dipped roses are real roses dipped in real 24-karat gold guaranteed to last a lifetime. Blue Moon is available only at Steven Singer Droolers. Always free shipping at IHateStevenSinger.com. But hurry, these will not be restocked and supplies limited. That's IHateStevenSinger.com. 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.

You're listening to Preston and Steve. MMR Rocks. Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm scared. There we go. All right, that was new music from a band called Broken Love. And the song is called Pulling Leeches. I don't know anything about that band other than I kind of like that tune. Who are they reminding me of?

It sounds a little bit, Steve, like Casey, the two-member band Royal Blood. That's exactly it. It sounds a little bit like Royal Blood. Yes. But I do like that song. All right, 10-20 on this Friday morning. Reminder that our friends from Rita's Water Ice have dropped off some goodies for us. And, of course, we have goodies for you. $25 gift cards if you are interested in winning a $25 gift card. Text the word ICE to...

610-660-9333. They have the new Cola Ice at Rita's. So they're promoting that. You can try it. It's a cool twisted cola blender. Cola ice blended into a frozen drink form and then topped with fruity cocoa lime cream on top of that.

It's fantastic, but you have to get to read as quick. Cole Ice is here for a limited time only, so they want you to try it out and see what you think. You never know. It might stick around if you love it enough, but you got to try it out and give them some feedback. So text the word ICE to 610-660-9333, and we'll have your shot to win a $25 gift card from Rita's. In the meantime, we have something else to give away, and this is in a...

different way we're going to have you uh text zoom to i hate throwing all these texts these right now things at the same time but uh if you think you're going to know the answer to the lesson question text the word zoom to 610-660-9333 now i will ask you the question

And by the way, we are going to give away a four-pack of tickets to join Casey Boyd to see the advanced screening of Thunderbolts. That's coming up on April 30th at 7 p.m. at the Regal in King of Prussia. And the question that I have for you is this. What is the name of Nell's restaurant?

restaurants. All right. So if you know that, if you remember that, you need to call us. No, don't call us. Text us. Text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333. You do have the modified phone, though. I do have it here for emergencies. And it works from time to time. We have a cord that is now attached to it. Hello? I can hear you. That's great. It works. All right. So text the word Zoom if you know...

The name of Nell's restaurant. While you're doing that, we will do this. The trash business is a goal.

93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. We'll get some stories and we'll see where we go after that. Steve, what's going on this morning? Well, Lizzo is opening up about her dramatic weight loss during a TikTok live session saying she doesn't like to use pounds. Lizzo prefers to use comparisons saying she's down one and a half Subaru Outbacks. Yeah!

It's pretty amazing. Original Golden Badger Jerry Turner. We all remember him. Well, he failed to find Mrs. Wright on the show and is reportedly very serious with the woman he met on Facebook. Turner says it just goes to show there's no guarantee you'll find love even after 22 handjobs. Whoa. Yes!

And finally, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are having trouble selling that $68 million marital home because she refuses to drop the price. Lopez says it's hard to part with a home that was a major part of one afternoon. Yeah. All right. Thank you, Steve. So we're looking for the answer and we'll see if someone knows what the name of Nell's restaurant is.

And we got Dan who's joining us now. What do rag, Dan? What's up, buddy? What's up? How you doing, man? Sorry to bother you at work. That's all good. We'll forgive you. All right. What was the name of Nell's restaurant? Roadkill Cafe. The Roadkill Cafe. That is Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMN. That's correct, Dan. Hang on for a minute. And we...

We're going to give you a four-pack of tickets to join Casey Boy. He is going to be at the advanced screening of Thunderbolts on April 30th at 7 p.m. at the Regal and King of Prussia. It's brought to you by Marvel Studios. Thunderbolts, they're not super, they're not heroes, and they're not giving up. Only in theaters May 2nd. You can get tickets now. I'm being overstimulated. Yeah. I think it's a cheeseburger. It has to be. It might have been those empanadas. I don't know. All right. We can now do music news? I don't know. All right.

Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMMR. It worked. I know. Were they dessert empanadas? Yeah. Is that what they were? The ones with the powdered sugar? Yeah. I didn't grab one. Here, I'll go get you one right now. No, no, no, no, no. He is. Yep.

He just left. All right. He's going to look for Donnie. He wants another one. All right. Green Day is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2025, honoring their significant contributions to the music industry. Punk rock band known for hits, of course, like Basket Case and American Idiot joined a diverse group of honorees from various entertainment fields. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced the 2025 class, which includes...

Jane Fonda, Prince, Colin Farrell, Jessica Chastain, Keith Urban, and David Beckham. If there's any justice, they'll be right next to Ted Danson. Each honoree will have an individual ceremony to dedicate their store on Hollywood Boulevard. I wonder if you can put in a little bit of a request of where you would like to fall because they can go in different directions. Yeah.

The exact dates will be announced, and recipients have up to two years to schedule their ceremony. And dates are typically revealed to the public about ten days in advance. So that is coming. Nick, how's your empanada? You know, it's all right. It's all right. It's just okay. I'm not overwhelmed. Your hopes were up too high. Well, you know, I wanted to sample it. I've sampled it. What is that flavor on the inside? I can't quite tell. I couldn't figure it out either. I was hoping for something like a little more...

Ampa? No, a little more Ampa, less Nata. More pie-ish, I guess. Oh, okay. I thought it was going to be sort of like a fried apple pie kind of thing. More like a cream cheese. If it's just okay, can I eat some of that? Yeah, yeah. I'll see if I can spot the flavor. Yeah, Preston, it's more of like a cream cheese sweet feeling. You liked it, okay. Yes, I liked it very much. Would you order them? No. Okay, I don't think I would either. What do you think, Preston? Not bad. You like it? Okay. That's your style. There's cream cheese. Yeah. All right. Um...

I think it's strawberry. Oh. Yes. Yeah, I detect a little strawberry. Okay. This is one heck of a meet and eat for checkers, right? They didn't spend a dollar one at WMMI. They're getting more promotion than I'm next to you. I thought for a second they were called Chuckies. They're not called Chuckies. It's a good Chuckies burger. That would be great. They have this little mascot with a knife. Yeah, yeah.

You know, with all the tousled hair and scars on him. Brain is not working. Anyhow, there was a brief couple of hours where the internet was pretty darn sure that Jack Black was joining the upcoming Weezer movie. But after reports started to make their way around online...

Rep for the band confirmed that to Stereogum that he is not actually part of that movie. Now, he's been in a ton of hit movies, recently Minecraft and Super Mario Brothers movies, so it wasn't hard for people to believe that he was going to be in this. And plus, his rock connection on top of it would make a bunch of sense. The Weezer mockumentary already has some pretty big names in it. Like we said, Keanu Reeves is set to play the villain, and he'll apparently be joined by other famous faces like Juliette Lewis, Eric Andre, Johnny Knoxville, and Ben Schwartz.

I wanted to remind you that live band karaoke voting is enabled now. And you can go to PrestonAndSteve.com and see the audition videos. And then you can vote to help us pick the winners. One vote per person per day. So you can stop back often. Voting ends on May 4th.

And there are going to be ten singers chosen, and each singer will get a four-pack of MML BBQ tickets. But it's up to you to decide who you would like to see at that event. Then all we ask you to do is be there for the whole thing, because it is always awesome. And again, we have that little extra added bonus this time around, Preston, with the side stage. Yeah, Fat Miz is going to be playing a set. They're a main stage band.

And after they do their set opening the MMRBQ at 1 o'clock later on that afternoon, they are going to come over to the President Steve Schell side stage and do a completely unique set from what they played on the main stage. Yes. So it's going to be pretty cool that they're doing that. We're excited about it. Speaking of the MMRBQ, two ticket rates coming up. Steve, tomorrow from 5 to 7, we'll be at the Boozy Mutts.

on Poplar Street in Philadelphia. Please come down. We're going to have lots of tickets to give away. And what's really cool is that there are dogs in the bar. And if you have a dog, you can make a... I guess you have to go online if you want to check your dog in, basically. But otherwise, there'll be dogs there. If you're not a dog owner, you can come out and hang out with me. You know I love the animals. So it should be a great time. And lots of tickets. Yeah, winner every 15 minutes at the event, as is the same one on Sunday.

Which they'll be at Rita's in Rockledge, by the way, from 1 to 3 p.m. 136 Huntington Pike in Rockledge. So that's on Sunday, 1 to 3. And try one of their new ices. One of their new cola ices.

It's an intimate performance and a Q&A hosted by Pierre Robert. Who knows if you might be able to ask questions. I don't know. But here's why this is a unique Pierre Presents.

Because it's two days after the MMRBQ. Yeah, it's appropriate. I mean, these Pierre Presents always turn out so fantastic. And I'm so excited for the Mammoth guys to be a part of it. I've really grown to love them over the years. So I'm guessing Wolfie and gang are just going to hang out for Philly for a couple of days then. I guess. I would think, right?

an hour and a half away. You can come back and party in Philly. Yeah, yeah. I think so. I'm sure they will. Also, I wanted to mention real quick, Preston, that you guys played the new Broken Love earlier. And you said you didn't know much about the band Broken Love. Lucky for you, Brent Porsche had a chat with their singer, and that's going to be on WMR.com next week. I'll find out all I need to know then. Yes, you will. Wonderful. Excellent. Well, thank you, Sarah. All right, we're going to find out if we got a winner for the word of the week. It is Frank, who we are checking in with. Hey, Frank. Good morning, buddy.

Good morning. How are you? Awesome, man. All right. So, Frank, do you know what the word of the week is? I believe it is stumped. Great day in the morning. You're right, Frank.
