You will listen to every damn word I have to say! And Steve Morrison. Words are like bullets. Lost. Casey Boy. They all can't starve it. Kathy Romano. I wanted to...

Pretty much the same thing on Thursday. We do have a chance of rain creeping in once again over our weekend, Friday and Saturday. Some scattered thunderstorms. Heads up on that. Sunday clears up afterwards, but we've got warm temperatures all week long. Hello. Hello.
Preston and Steve's News Update with Kathy Romano. And today is Tuesday, April 29th. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning. In the news this morning, a carjacking suspect is dead after he was shot by police following a wild chase on Monday evening in Philadelphia.
6 ABC had their chopper overhead around 8 o'clock and followed as the driver in a gray sedan was being chased by police along Roosevelt Boulevard. As soon as I saw the video, I was like, that's the boulevard. Yep, there you go. At one point, the suspect could be seen traveling at a high rate of speed in the grassy median and then against traffic. Man. Officers later swarmed the vehicle after it hit a tree in the median at the Roosevelt Boulevard and Landon Street in the city's Somerdale section. Yeah, when he crossed over the median and went into oncoming traffic, I...
Because there are some spots where, you know, on the boulevard, you know how it is. I was like, is it on? No, it's not oncoming traffic. And then sure enough, I started seeing the cars. I was like, oh, it is. Yeah, man. There are a number of points on the boulevard where it's easy to make a wrong turn and end up in oncoming traffic.
Police say the suspect came out of the vehicle armed and that's when he was shot multiple times. Those who fired their weapons include five highway patrol officers, one 15th district officer and a 25th district officer, according to Commissioner Kevin Bethel. The suspect was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. It all started with a carjacking at G Street and East Hunting Park Avenue around 7 o'clock. The police chase suspect allegedly shot a 32-year-old man before taking his vehicle. A chase then ensued through multiple police districts.
Police say it's believed the suspect then fired one shot at pursuing officers while on the 700 block of East Sheltonham Avenue. The 32-year-old shooting victim from the initial scene is listed as critical at Temple University Hospital. Police have not identified the suspect.
President Donald Trump celebrated the 2025 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at the White House on Monday, but several players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, decided to skip the celebration. Hurts and other players cited scheduling conflicts as the reason for the absences, according to a White House official who was not authorized to comment publicly. Still, Trump called Hurts a terrific guy and terrific player who turned Trump's
who turned in one stellar performance after another in helping the Eagles to a 14-3 regular season and their Super Bowl run. The Eagles have turned out to be an incredible team, an incredible group, Trump said. In his first term, Trump invited then canceled the celebration for the Eagles in 2018 after the franchise's first Super Bowl title. He insisted instead through his own brief celebration of America after it became clear most of the players weren't going to show up.
Asked by a reporter on the red carpet of the Time Magazine gala last week whether he would take part in the White House visit, Hertz responded with an awkward um and then a long silence before walking away. Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley visited Trump over the weekend at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey and caught a ride with the president to Washington on Air Force One and then to the White House on Marine One. That's pretty cool.
Yeah. Barkley, meanwhile, pushed back on social media criticism earlier Monday for spending time with Trump. He noted that he golfed with former President Barack Obama. Maybe I just respect the office. Not a hard concept to understand. Barkley posted on X. Trump attended the Eagles decisive Super Bowl victory in New Orleans, New Orleans over the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he predicted ahead of the game that the Chiefs would win and offered lavish praise for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
A video is going viral on TikTok with millions of views about a Pennsylvania high school senior who got accepted into five Ivy League universities. Victoria Mathu applied to seven Ivy League schools and says she didn't expect to get into any. The 18-year-old Ben Salem High School senior, Bucksco, aimed high by applying to seven of the eight Ivy League universities where acceptance rates are in the single digits. This happened to the lady who owns my nail salon.
Her son got into all the schools. That's pretty amazing. I think he ended up going to Yale. That's funny because that's what she's leaning towards. She's seen the most excited by Yale. The straight-A student had an impressive activity list and was captain of the step team. Victoria was awestruck when she opened her college portals on Ivy Day last month and her TikTok went viral. She opened Columbia first and then the other acceptances followed. Cornell, Brown, Yale, and UPenn. She is waitlisted at Harvard and Dartmouth.
She had no rejections. When I got a nondescript letter from the college I went to and it basically said, yeah, why not? What a dynamo academically. Honestly, God, though, it is so competitive these days and the kids' stats are so...
Good. Like you need, in order to get in, like you have, I don't know what her hook was because this day and age, it's not just your grades. You know what I mean? Like you need to like start some foundation. Yeah. You got to be totally invested in a lot of things to get into that many schools. I am lost.
in all of this. You may as well be speaking Greek to me. I don't see any of this stuff. I got a congratulations, you barely graduated high school handshake. You did it. Put a little pat on the head and go about your business. Listen, I had to remind the people at my college that it wasn't high school from time to time. And then, and it's to the...
Unfortunately, to the detriment of my kids, because I had no experience whatsoever in planning for going to college. Right. They're having to figure it out on their own, unfortunately. Casey's right. The competition nowadays is ridiculous. Over the last year and a half, two years, we've been doing it with our son. Casey, I know you've been doing it with all of your kids. It's never-ending, but it's really funny, Kathy, because on Portal Day, and that's how most kids find out, is they open up the portal and they see, my son applied to four different Ivy League schools.
0 for 4. So she nailed it. She was 7 of 8 or 7 of 7 for the Ivies? 7 of 7. She got into 5. She applied to 7, got into 5, and was waitlisted for 2. Yeah, okay. Crazy. A lot of waitlist. And Ben is actually still waitlisted at two schools, which is ridiculous because he got into Northeastern. That's where he's going to end up going. But some of these schools, they wait so long to not let students know. So Ben could get into NYU like at some point this summer.
Wow. That's how crazy it all works. You got to be way more than brilliantly intelligent, right? It's just in everything. It's SAT scores. It's grades. It's like Casey said, extracurricular stuff, sports. If you're an Eagle Scout, I'm telling you right now, whatever you think, maybe Boy Scouts is a little nerdy or whatever, your kid's an Eagle Scout, that's just another feather that is really, really important. Not only in a college resume, but also... You got to work it. That's too much to put on kids.
kids. It's a lot. That's too much to put on kids. What it really ends up as being too much to put on parents who have to pay for that freaking college. That's a whole other thing. Victoria says her role models are her parents, both super proud of their daughter, both immigrants who lived the American dream, went to college and instilled a serious work ethic and
empathy for the world around her volunteering and getting involved in social impact clubs. So she was involved in all that. They should deliver the approval through the actual portal in Philadelphia. That'd be kind of cool, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Nick, is there, like I remember when I, you know, when we applied to colleges, you always applied to, um,
a school that was like your safe school. Are there still safe schools? Yeah, yeah, there's a few. I mean, University of Pittsburgh is a great school. It's also a state school and it's a little bit easier to get in and more and more people are applying to those to have them just like safe schools are, have become reach schools for a lot of people too. Like it's,
I don't think I've ever seen competition like I've seen it over the last two or three years. By safe, you mean fallback school, right? Essentially. That you know whatever your level is, you know you're going to get into it. Pitt is not a safe school by any stretch. My safe school was Clown College in Sarasota. Mine would have been Community College or whatever. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Especially people who don't necessarily know what direction they want to head. Why would you spin your wheels
at a school at $40,000 a year. That's what we're doing. That's what we've done with all three of our kids. It makes no sense. So decision day for Victoria is Thursday and she's leaning towards Yale. She eventually wants to go to law school and plans to mentor middle school students this summer to help them achieve their academic goals. In sports this morning... ... ... ... ... ...
The Phillies were off yesterday and are back home tonight as they open up a series against the Washington Nationals. Zach Wheeler will get the start. The first pitch is set for 645. President Trump advocated for the NFL to keep the tush-push play as he hosted the Super Bowl champion Eagles at the White House yesterday afternoon. The play has been...
successful for the Eagles, who have scored 27 touchdowns and recorded 92 total first downs on it in the past three years. Head coach Nick Sirianni said, thank you, Mr. President, for having us here. And we also appreciate the endorsement for the Tush Push.
In the NHL playoff, the Florida Panthers beat their cross-state rivals, the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-2, and now lead the Series 3 games to 1. In the Washington Conference, the Stars won easily. Western Conference. The West, what did I say? Washington Conference. Okay, yep. That would be Western. That's another word that starts with W. The Stars won easily, beating the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 in Dallas to go up in the Series 3-2. In the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Heat 4-2.
138-83 in Miami. The Cavs moved into round two with the most lopsided series win in NBA playoff history. They led by as many as 60 points before winning by 55 to finish off the sweep. Cleveland won the series by a combined 122 points, one more than the previous record for a series margin set by Denver over New Orleans in 2009. In the late game, the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 109-106 and now lead the series three games to one. And the
And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs. And that's what I have for you this morning. All right, thank you very much, Kath. Let me spell out the day. We got a bunch of stuff planned for this morning. We will have joining us guest-wise guitarist Don Felder of the Eagles for so many years.

Next year, it will be at Aronamick Golf Club. We are going to have the director, Ryan Ogle, stopping by this morning. Maybe a chance...

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. I am playing the cricket club today. Oh, wow. And you're going to be getting it in super condition. In championship form at the Devereux Classic today, which is going to be a very cool charity event. All right. So we're going to ask a stupid question. We're going to give away a prize. I have a Steven Singer Jewelers moon and back diamond necklace. Features a diamond encrusted moon and a heart with a secret message of love. It's an awesome Mother's Day gift. Here's the question that I have for you.
What is Toronto's Pearson International Airport code? Certain fans of a certain band might know this. What is Toronto's Pearson International Airport's code to...
Text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. We'll send you the link and then you jump in and give us the answer. You win the prize. That's how the whole thing works. All right. I'll mention birthdays. Today being the 29th day of April, we got some biggies today. It's Daniel Day-Lewis' birthday today.
One of the greatest actors of all time. Agreed. Where do you put him now? Because Pacino you used to refer to as your favorite actor of all time. So I have now narrowed it down. Pacino is my favorite American actor. And I'd have to say Daniel Day-Lewis just as being able to transform into another human being. Right. I think he does it better than anybody. He's like Vin Diesel. I think he's incredible. He becomes you too.
Sorry, Al. But I mean, if you go from Bill the Butcher to Abraham Lincoln and compare those two and you're like, how is that the same person? So many movies throughout the years that he's just been incredible in. I want to see the...
The last film he did. Fan of Threads. Yeah. And I know it's a completely different tone for him. It's boring as F, but man, does he just command the screen. So he's 68 today. Another extremely talented actress, Michelle Pfeiffer. Yes. Shares a birthday with Daniel, and they're only a year off. She is 67 today.
Yes. Oh, yeah. Ant-Man. The Wasp. Yeah, that's right. Scarface. Witches of Eastwick. Dangerous Minds, right? Lots of good stuff. Grease 2. Yeah, Dangerous Minds. What? Grease 2? Yes, of course. That is a guilty pleasure. I'm a Grease 2 fan. So she turns 67 years old today, Michelle Pfeiffer. It's Eve Plum's birthday. Here's the story. Yep.
She is, of course, Jan Brady and turns 67 years old. And you do, I mean, listen, she's still acting. You see her pop up from time to time in just various shows or movies. Are you really? Hang on a second. She was in that live version of Grease that they did on Fox. Yeah. Happy 67th to Jan Brady, Eve Plum.
It's also Uma Thurman's birthday today. And Uma is... Every time we say Uma, you have to... Because of that song. Absolutely, yeah. She's great. Kill Bill 1 and 2. That's all she ever did. Yeah. I'd be fine with it. And Pulp Fiction, obviously, was a huge breakout role for her. The first time I saw it was in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
I didn't even know she was in it. Yeah, she's in that. Wow. I was thinking Johnny B. Goode. Johnny B. Goode. Terrible movie. Yeah, terrible. With Michael Anthony Hall and Robert Downey Jr. Yes, yes, yes. She's in that? She is. Is she like a cheerleader chick? She's Johnny's girlfriend. Get out. And yeah, it was a real early role for her. She was a teenager when that came out. She was like 19 years old when that came out.
Wow. She's 55 today. Tommy James of Tommy James and the Shondells. I don't have his version. 78 years old today. That's okay. Money, money, big hit for them. And obviously Billy had a huge success with that as well. Crimson and Clover. I think we're alone now. Hanky Panky. They had some great songs, man. Which were remade by many other artists. Yep. And they got hits off them as well. Yep. So happy 78th birthday to Tommy James. Uh,
The great Willie Nelson is a year older. Man, we almost had him in the studio one time. I was so looking forward to that. It was like six, seven years ago, something like that. You never know. You never know. What we should probably do is get Bradley Cooper to kind of broker that deal because he's such a good friend of ours. Are Bradley and Willie? No. Why not? Sure. Anybody could do it. Bradley Cooper could do it.
Willie Nelson is 92 years old today and smoking weed like nobody's business. Put Snoop under the table. Yeah. I mean, that's quite an accomplishment. It is also Carney Wilson's birthday today. Come on. I mean, come on. How do you not love this song? Did you watch Bridesmaids? I did, yes. You did, okay. So she turns 57 years old today. We've talked to her a few times. Yes.
And she shares a very important birthday. I'll handle that in a moment. She's 57 today. Andre Agassi's birthday today. He's 55, won all four Grand Slam titles, including the Australian Open, four times. I've always admired his hair. In fact, I have it at home. Married to fellow tennis ace Steffi Graf since 2001. It's Jerry Seinfeld's birthday today. Some heavy hitters. I told you, it's heavy.
Biggie's turning a year old today. Jerry's 71 years old. He looks great, man. He looks great for 71. Yeah. And so I had mentioned Carney Wilson turns 57 today. So does WMMI.
It is our birthday today. Happy birthday to you. Oh my God. Happy birthday to you. You know why I stopped singing? Why? I forgot the words. I forgot the melody. I was hammered, dude. That was at MMRBQ. Happy birthday to you. And many more.
And many more, ladies and gentlemen. And many more, ladies and gentlemen. It was a good one, though. It was fun. It doesn't get any better as you go along. No. There's no improvement. You don't suddenly become accomplished. April 29th, 1968. That is when this radio station was born. It's amazing when I put that in the framework of so many great people.
classic songs, rock songs that you listen to were played brand new on WMMR. That is an amazing thing to lay claim to. Yeah, it was a Marconi experiment and the first song ever played on this radio station by the Beatles, Flying. That's right. Oh, really? Instrumental. Yeah, it's from Magical Mystery Tour, I believe. Na-da-da-da-da.
Oh, is that? I love this. Yeah, a little throwback, too. This is what I do acid to. 57 years ago today, this would have been the first song. I wonder what time of day. I do marijuana to this person. You do marijuana to this person?
Who said that? Was it you, Nick? Yeah. I wonder what time of day the broadcast started. I think it was at nighttime. I wonder if it was a morning thing or... Because it started off as WIP FM, the radio station. And so, Steve, during the day, it was not a rock station. And so, I bet you're right. I bet it was in the evening. Yeah.
They did something like that. In fact, Nick, FM at that time, people will remember this, but it's like, oh, that's that counterculture. Yeah. For those hippies. Yeah. I bet they do marijuana. They do marijuana. All right. Happy birthday. I bet you they eat lots of marijuana. Happy birthday to WMMR. And maybe we can chat about that more later. All right. Let's see if we can find someone who has an answer to today's stupid question.
And I believe, ah, yes, we do have Andrew joining us. What's up, Andrew?
Gadzooks. Gadzooks, my man. Happy to have you on. All right, you need to give us this answer. What is Toronto's Pearson International Airport's code? YYZ. See what you did there? The Canadians would say YYZ. You are correct, sir. Hang on, because you just got yourself a real cool gift from Mom. You're going to love this. Steven Seeger Jewelers Moon and Back Diamond Necklace featuring a diamond-encrusted moon and a heart.
With a secret message of love, I love you to the moon and back. And you can order now for free shipping and to arrive in time for Mother's Day at IHStevenSinger.com. So this rhythm, this is the Morse code for YYZ. And that's how they got it. That's the origin of the song. So they were flying into the airport and heard that... And the hit was burned. And they were like, that's a really cool rhythm. So...
All right, so I know this is going to blow you guys away, but Travis Kelsey has unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram. What? Wait, what? The hell? God. What?
I know why. Why? I bet you I can guess. Well, yeah, it's the Taylor Swift thing. It's the Taylor Swift thing. So sparking speculation, that is, among Taylor Swift fans about potential drama behind the scenes. This comes amid rumored tensions involving Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, who allegedly dragged Swift into her legal feud with Justin Baldani.
Reynolds still followed Kelsey as of Monday, but fans believe Kelsey's unfollowed hints a deeper trouble. One Reddit insider said the biggest giveaway when Taylor begins dating someone or ends things is when all of her friends, especially Ryan Reynolds, makes edits.
edits to their Instagram following list. Would you even know if someone unfollowed you on Instagram? No. No idea. So somebody has to be... These guys can't just be sitting all day scrolling through their followers and seeing who stopped...
How do you get alerted? Do you get alerted to that? I don't think so. No, I mean, I didn't. It's your staff, right? Or somebody? I had someone. No, you have to look. You'd have to look to see. You'd have to look for it. So I had someone unfollow me. And I didn't know for, I mean, months. And then she was like, you didn't notice I unfollowed you? I was like, no, why did you unfollow me? Whatever. It was not. Was it Marissa? No, it wasn't Marissa. No, but I was like, no, I had no idea. I would have never.
known that you never know yeah how do these people know so quickly but steve i think what ends up happening is that you look at travis kelsey's uh instagram account right and he has a bajillion followers he's got 6.6 million followers but you can look at a specific number to the right of that which is the number of people he's following and so what you're talking about earlier about people paying attention to all this nonsense right uh somebody noticed that the number of people that he was following either went up or went down a little bit and then they go in and there's there's a little bit of digging and um you know here we are talking about it yeah i mean
blame the media. You can go into his follower account. If you do it on the app, not on a desktop, you can actually...
You can actually type and see if they're following a person. So easy to do. So a journalist can just see if he's following Ryan. So they hover on the periphery. They thought that perhaps something might have happened and they found out and they were right. More so, I care, Kath, why did the person stop following you? Were they mad at you? No. Years ago, I stopped following her because we got into an argument. It was a joke. It was like, that's it, we're not friends anymore. And she had a heart attack and was
so upset over it was calling her mother her mom called me and was like do you know what you're doing to her right now please follow her back this was like when it was just Facebook so she did it as a joke and she was like you never noticed that I stopped following you you're like no you don't matter to me
All right, we'll see what happens with this. I don't know. All right, speaking of Instagram, Channing Tatum and Inka Williams have gone IG official. Inka dinka doo. Yeah, the model shared a lovey-dovey collage on her Instagram story to celebrate his 45th birthday on Saturday. And the amazing thing is that they have these pictures that are supposedly he had gotten out of shape.
The out of shape that he was is a shape I can only dream of being in. Totally. Yeah. The photos included Tatum kissing Williams, Tatum hanging out in a tree, and more. I'd like to have a picture of me hanging out in a tree. She added happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stupidest, most gorgeous human ever. You're stupid. Hey, when we first got here 20 years ago, there was a picture and somebody's hanging out in a tree. Who was that? I don't know. Who was up in the tree? Is that Jackson? No, it's Matt Gord. Is it Matt Gord that's hanging in the tree? Yeah, yeah. Oh, man.
And he writes, merci. And I think there's one of me hanging in a tree, too. You hate that picture. I know. I was fat. Merci for making life beautiful and fun. I know. I made them get rid of that. I know. You used to be hanging in the hallway here. I'm like, no. Get rid of my fat pictures. It was the first goddamn picture you'd see, especially after your weight loss 20 years ago. Yeah. Can we get rid of that? I think we had a whole new photo shoot to get another staff photo because you were like, this has to come down immediately. Cut that tree down. The first picture you walked past.
I'm like 280 pounds. You are. I know. You're in that picture. But I look at it different. I'm like, oh, good. I don't look like that anymore. I don't feel like that anymore. Listen, at each point, the tree was still heavier. Yeah. So rumors about the romance between Tatum and Williams started when they were first spotted at the pre-Oscars party in February with sources telling people a few days later that they were indeed seeing each other. So it's Instagram official as of now. Kim Kardashian is making a bold statement by flaunting diamond eyes.
anklets on Instagram. Who is? This is Kim Kardashian. Despite previously vowing to avoid flashy jewelry after the traumatic 2016 Paris robbery, so she's stayed away from that for a while, of the flashy diamond jewelry. She doesn't mind if people steal her ankles. In the photos from her recent trip to Maui, she shows four sparkling anklets. Oh my God, they're probably real diamonds. I would imagine. I mean, come on. Yeah, please. So stupid, but I'll get a fake thing. Um...
I just was listening to somebody talk about this. So I guess it happened, I don't know, it was an anniversary or something, but she was physically attacked? Yeah.
At this, yes, with this Paris robbery. Oh, yeah, yeah. They tied her up. They tied her up. That's crazy. No, she legitimately has flashbacks and PTSD about it because they broke in. It was a coordinated effort. It was like you see in these foreign films. The guys were on motorcycles to beat a hasty retreat. It was well-coordinated. It was a heist. It was a heist of sorts. So she deserves $3 million on her ankle, guys. Yeah.
Those thieves had stole about $10 million in jewelry, including Kim's $4 million engagement ring from Kanye West. She is expected to testify. That was my favorite s'more sticker. The trial in Paris next month. Until then, her post is seen by some of her fans as kind of a symbolic defiance to her attackers.
Let me see. What else is worth mentioning to you guys this morning? Oh, yeah. Okay. Flying can be a painful experience. However, Dancing with the Stars pro Val Chemerkovsky, however you say his name, has taken that discovery to the next level. In his Instagram stories, he explained that he was passing a kidney stone on his flight home. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. He told what happened. And some of this doesn't make sense to me. He said, I landed in Spain.
Had a little side slash back pain, taught, worked out, etc. Thought that it was just my usual backache. And he said when the pain got worse, he hit the ER where they prescribed him antibiotics and painkillers. He would later pass the stone on his return flight home. Whoa. He said, boom, feel a little something somewhere sacred. Go.
Go to the bathroom and see this little guy. And he had posted a photo of a pea-sized stone and wrote, I'm never eating sweers or ultra, I think it was supposed to be sweets, or ultra fried greasy foods again. No. I had heard that passing this stone is actually not as bad as when it initially breaks off. I don't know. I've heard the real, real pain is when the stone kind of breaks off and starts making its way through. Really?
Yeah, that's what I heard. But like the actual passing of it is the least. Okay. I've heard it's all pretty unpleasant. Yeah. It's something. So my wife had sort of what was the equivalent of that in her salivary gland. And it's equally as painful. Yeah. So it says that passing kidney stones can be very painful, but I don't know if it's less painful than the break off case. Okay.
X-Files star David Duchovny is putting his beloved beachside Malibu home, where he's lived for over 20 years, on the market, selling it for $12.5 million. The property is in the gated Point Doom community and consists of an acre of land and 3,500 square feet of house. Welcome to Point Doom. With three bedrooms.
Right. That's an ominous name. It's spelled D-U-M-E. So not D-O. Welcome to Point Dumb. Unless it's Dume, maybe. No, it's Doom. Is it Doom? Doom.
Pronunciation's are pissing me off lately. Yeah. What is it with that stuff? Stop pronouncing things. Come on. The one that pissed me off was Isla, what was it? Bonita? No, not Isla, Bonita. Yeah. Isla Mujeres off of Cancun. Wait, why does that piss you off? Because sometimes I-S-L-A is pronounced Isla. Yeah. Like Isla Fisher. Yeah, or Isla Majora. Is that how you pronounce it?
Is that something? That's Labia Majora. Labia Majora. It's a great island. It's Labia. You moron. Casey really busted my balls on that one. I caught you on that one. I'm sorry, dude. That was good. I was out of turn. Labia Majora.
All right, so anyhow, this is 3,500 square feet of house, three bedrooms, and one bedroom refurbished train caboose at the edge of the estate. Cool. Yeah. Is that a caboose? You got a caboose?
You live in Point Doom? What are you, Skeletor? Alright, here's a little rumor. Stranger Things star Maya Hawke may be on the verge of getting married. Exhibit A, pictures of her walking in Manhattan yesterday, sporting a big rock on her
a left-hand ring finger. Was it actually a ring or a rock? I think it was a ring, Steve. While that's all anyone has got to go on, her reps have responded to people's inquiries or have not responded and it comes just a week after she and her boyfriend Christian Lee Hudson
appeared together on the red carpet for opening night of John Proctor is the Villain at New York City's Booth Theater. I kind of love her. I think she's really sweet and fun and funny. They first met four years ago through their work in the music industry. So she's a singer as well, by the way. Not a dancer. No. Mind you.
Let's see. Some viewings of a Minecraft movie have seen exceptionally rambunctious behavior. We've seen the videos and whatnot to the point where some theater chains are issuing warnings and moviegoers, they got two out of hammer, actually being escorted out. Well,
There's a saying, if you can't beat them, join them. And Warner Brothers announced yesterday there will be special, what they're calling block party edition screenings of the movie. Of course. Yeah, take advantage of it. And the screenings will encourage fans to sing along and get a little crazy during their favorite moments.
They said in a statement, Warner Brothers Pictures, legendary pictures invite fans back to the theater to experience a Minecraft movie together in a whole new way. You know the moments. You know the lines. You love the songs. And now it's time to get loose, laugh out loud, and belt out those lyrics like a true Diamond Tier fan. That's a great idea.
It gets people to go back and buy more tickets and go and do it like they want to do it. This is job one for the movie theater chains. They're trying to get people back in. You had the big hit, The Sinners. You've had a big turnout to the theater for that. If you can get gimmick stuff like this to take off and get people back in, you're going to win. It's what you need. All right, so it's hard to believe that with credits like Batman, Argo, and Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck...
was surprised that his other hit, Armageddon, made it into the Criterion Collection. He said, I didn't think of it as that kind of movie when we did it. He was reflecting on how he shares, it's an achievement I'm proud of, and I didn't intend to be as good. But he's actually talking about the commentary...
that he made. So I've known about this for a while because I do have the Criterion collection of Armageddon because even if it's not a movie that you are that thrilled about, Criterion does this great job with commentary and making of features. Okay, I don't know what Criterion collection is. Criterion is a company that will take, will buy these classic movies and they can be new or I say classic,
Let's put it this way. Unique in cinema for some way. And they will release these remastered, loving collections, Preston. So when you talk about like, you know, Weezer releasing a collection of 15, you know, a package that contains all this stuff. Criterion does that with movies. There is the Criterion channel. And, you know, we had Patton Oswalt in.
We had talked to him just after he had been to the Criterion offices and went into what they call the famous Criterion closet and pulled out movies that he loves. So what they do is they treat these movies in a loving way. And one of the big things with them are having people who are involved in the movie do a running commentary on the movie, giving you insight as you're watching it. And his was notable for how he's funny.
In a humorous way, dismissive of Armageddon. All right, it's him talking about that. Here we go. Do you want an example of his commentary first or his comments? Have him talk about the comment first and then the comment from the movie. All right. I didn't know any better than to be really honest, but I won't spoil it for those of you who are interested. It is...
It is an achievement that I've been proud of and didn't intend to be as good as I now think it is at the time. All right, so here's an example of that commentary. I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers. And he told me to shut the f*** up. So that was the end of that talk. You know, Ben, just shut up, okay? You know, this is a real plan, all right?
I was like, you mean it's a real plan at NASA to train oil drillers? He was like, just shut your mouth. See, here's where we demonstrate that because Bruce is going to tell the guys that they did a bad job of building the drill tank. See, he's a salt of the earth guy.
And the NASA nerd-a-nots don't understand his salt-of-the-earth ways, his rough-and-tumble ways. Like somehow they can build rocket ships, but they don't understand what makes a good tranny. Take eight whole months as if that's not enough time to learn how to drill a hole. But in a week, we're going to learn how to be astronauts. One whole week, now you know how to fly into space?
I need my guys. Why do you need them? They're the best. Everyone's the best. Why are they the best? I don't know. They just are. I'm only the best because I work with the best. I think this is actually the entire commentary. Yeah. Oh, that's great. I love it. All right. Two more quick things I want to fit in before we get to the clips. Um, the trailer for welcome to Rexham season four just dropped. Teases a hilarious new rivalry between Ryan Reynolds and Tom Brady. Uh,
And Reynolds says he's not playing, thank God. And is he allowed to play? And Brady fires back in the clip calling it a friendly competition, but not so friendly. The season will follow Rexham AFC's jump to League One for the first time in 20 years.
According to the official logline, fans can expect to see the stakes get higher with a new level of intensity, competition, and cost, all while the club continues to be plagued with injury and fans demanding the signing of new talent. They've leveled up again, haven't they? They sure have. They have another winning season. Over the weekend, so they get promoted to the next level up. Crazy. Since those guys have taken over. They're the kings of that town, man.
Back from the dregs. They were on absolutely just the end of the run, and they've completely flipped it. Sometimes when you put some money into something. Yeah, it's star power. Yeah. All right, and then the last thing, and I love this story. Dick Van Dyke has come out as a huge fan of the hit series A Man on the Inside.
which is a wonderful show. It stars Ted Danson as a retired professor who goes undercover for a private investigator inside a retirement home. And according to Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, the couple are fans of the show as well as good friends with Danson and his wife, Mary Steenburgen, who has been announced as a guest star in the show's upcoming season two. Van Dyke, who is nearing his 100th birthday, would love to make a cameo on the show. So reading this story, and it just made me think, Preston...
In recent memory, or just over the past couple of decades, what celebrity do you remember reaching the most advanced age and still being vital? Betty White. Betty White. George Burns. George Burns is the other one that I was going to think of. Right. Those are the only two that come to mind. I don't know if I was forgetting any. Yeah, the people that get to right on the edge of triple digits. Steve, Norman Mailer. Norman Mailer as well. Yes. Yeah. And Norman Lear.
That's who I was thinking of. Norman Lear. Yeah, right. I went along, but yeah. No, Norman Lear is who I was thinking of. Norman Lear is the author. And Mel Brooks is getting close. Yeah. And he still does interviews. He's in his 90s. And yeah, so. Carl Reiner looked to be on a good path. He was looking good, right? Yeah, he looked good, yeah. But he didn't see that bus. So, no.
He didn't get hit by a bomb. Wait, I was like, what? He didn't get hit by a bomb. Wow, yeah. And Mel Brooks turns 99 next month. Wow. Wow. Hey, man, I know it'll never happen, but wouldn't you love to just spend some time with Mel Brooks? Because he's also, he's a very, if you want to watch a wonderful interaction, Martin Shorter's Jiminy Glick interviewing Mel Brooks is hilarious. So you know he goes along with this stuff. Yep.
So even if it's not on this series of Dick Van Dyke or Shove, the legend has no eye of retirement, though his travel is an issue at his age. His wife said if they come to our house, he will work all the time. All right, let's do some clips.
Genevieve O'Reilly reprised her role as Mon Mothma in Andor Season 2. And in this clip, she expresses what it means to play a character that never got full focus in the past. It's wonderful to have an opportunity and a platform for us to learn about her. This woman, Caroline Bligston, first played her in the 1980s. And I feel like now, perhaps we know her. We can all understand Mon Mothma in a way that we didn't have a window into before.
Who's Mon Mothma? That's her character's name. Yeah, I know, but... Return of the Jedi. Many, many Benfin spies died to get us this information. Return of the Jedi? Yeah, her character's in Jedi, and then she was really important in Rogue One, and then... I know who she is. Season one of Andor, yeah. And in the... Well, spoiler alert, but there's this rave scene, essentially, in the first episode of season two, or one of the first three episodes in season two, and she's...
dancing at this wedding. It's pretty cool. Nick, I thought, I don't think it is. I thought she was in Bad Sisters. That's not her. Nope. They sound alike, but different actress. Yeah. Three new episodes of Andor air tonight at nine o'clock. That's on Disney+. Here's our next clip.
There's a lot of superheroes that have similar powers to other heroes in the comic book world. And in this clip, Lewis Pullman gives his thoughts on if he thinks that Sentry from Marvel's Thunderbolts would beat Superman and Homelander in a fight. Here we go. Geez. You know, I think he would have to tap out for some therapy. I think he'd feel like he has some imposter syndrome and be like, sorry, can we pause this for one second? I'm just going to call my guy. I think that's probably what would happen. Yeah! Uh,
Nick and Casey saw it last night. I don't want to hear yet. But is that Bill Pullman's son or something? I don't know if they are related. They do have a similar look about them. But he was in, he's been in some great stuff, by the way. Lewis Pullman. He was in the one with Brie Larson that Lessons in Chemistry. Oh, yes. Very enjoyable. That was so good. It was good. Thunderbolts will open in theaters this Friday. But Casey and Nick saw it last night. I want to hear what they have to say about it. All right. Maybe hear just a little bit momentarily. Are they related? Yep. It's his dad. Oh.
way. Good call, Casey. That's awesome. Let's take a break, friends. I want to stay on time for all the stuff that we have planned for today. One of them being your chance to win a thousand bucks. Actually, two of them because that's twice this. Two of them. This morning on the show. We'll be back in a second. Stay with us.

Back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thanks, Kath. Don Felder, a guitarist of Eagles fame, is going to be joining us later on this morning. We're also going to have, Kathy was talking about golf, the 2026 PGA Championship is coming to Eronomic Golf Club in May of next year. And we're going to have the director, and I hear he may have some tickets for us to give away. That's pretty wild. Those are not cheap tickets. No, I know. I mean, it's a great event. It's a special event that happens only once in a great while.
So we'll let you know. We'll let you know what's going on. Anybody get anything about Paige Brannick? Marissa's working on it. She said thumbs up. All right. All right. Oh, we're working on it. All right. Sorry. Marissa and I need to work on our sign language. Semaphore. Me understanding what she's saying. All right. So before we dive in any conversation, I did want to hear about this. Nick and Casey last night went to a screening of Thunderbolts.
And I'm still waiting for the MCU to have this return moment where we all go, yes, we're back in. We haven't returned. We still haven't returned. But it is a really solid movie. It is building towards something. This is not Endgame. This is not Infinity War. This isn't even Thor Ragnarok. But this is, I thought, a solid step in the right direction.
I thought it was a really good movie that can be a great bridge to whatever comes next. I thought Captain America, the one with Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford was okay. It was entertaining, but I wasn't blown away by it. And quite frankly, probably could have been a television show as far as like progressing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I thought last night was really good. I love Marvel.
all of the characters involved in Thunderbolts. I think the John Walker character is terrific and Red Guardian with David Harbour is terrific. And by the way, both of those guys, both of those actors have been in the studio. They have. And I love Florence Pugh. She's really, really good. She's great, man. And Julia Louis-Dreyfus, awesome.
She's really good as sort of like the foil and all of it. And actually, three of them have been in. Sebastian Stan's been here too. Wait, no, four. David Harbour? No, didn't... Wait, did you already say... I said David Harbour and John Walker. Okay, yeah, yeah. All right, so my bad. And Sebastian Stan. So I'm really... I'm hoping for...
things to really turn around in this universe because when the last Captain America film came out, the one with Anthony Mackie, I told all my kids, I'm like, let's go see the movie. None of them wanted to go see it. And that kind of stung me because I'm like, that used to be our thing. We would go to the Marvel movies together. And I want that back. Take me, Preston. I'll say this, is that, again, yes, it is not...
There were signs. There were murmurs. You saw a heartbeat here and there through the Captain America film, but not solid. So if this is going in the right direction, if they're building like what they did with Daredevil, again, a solid step in the right direction, not great.
But heading there, let's keep it going. Yeah, I really thought it was good. I don't think that it was great, but I think it was good. Here's what I'll say about it, though, as well. Go see it in the theater. The cinematography was terrific. And the sound, you know, like the hearing the explosions and the action sequences and stuff like that. Some great fight scenes. So for me, Steve, this one, Thunderbolts,
This is a movie theater movie. I don't think you need it to for Captain America. I think you probably could have just waited until it was on home. No, you're right. Disney Plus or whatever. But this one, I'm really glad I saw it in the theater. And by the way, again, I love that theater experience. Same. Yeah. And then also, there are two end credit scenes. And the more important end credit scene is at the very end of the credit. All right. So, stay to the absolute end. All right. Okay. All right. Definitely. Okay. So.
I saw this article, thought it was kind of interesting and wanted to bring it up to you guys and see if you've had similar experiences. It's keyed off of the story that I read is keyed off of there was an interview with Gail King did with George Clooney and George was talking about his wife Amal and he said, we've never had an argument. We still haven't.
Do you believe that? I don't believe that. I don't believe that. So this article is about humble brags that make couples sound arrogant. I can tell you one that was a classic, one that I thought was arrogant. It's not that I don't completely believe that it happens.
But years ago, Sting's claim of six-hour sex sessions with Trudy. Really? Yeah. You don't break for fried chicken or something? They ended up clarifying that later on, Steve, that it also involved, like...
meditation and yoga and they all counted it part of this tantric experience that they had. So that's what they backed up on that later on. But relationship experts say that these are some of the most eye-rolling inducing statements that couples commonly make
that drive us crazy. All right. And the first one is we never argue. We never argue. Do we, you dumb bitch? When a couple tells her this, couples therapist, Natasha Silverman says it makes her wonder what they're sweeping under the rug because every couple has tension at some point. Well, it's like, you know, what we do is we just pull it up. Just go Dwayne Johnson, just push it down inside. Shove it down deep. No, she said it's a complete myth.
That couples should avoid conflict and be deliriously happy. It's not going to happen. But what it is about, though, is arguing well rather than not arguing at all. So I think maybe people speak out of turn and they say we never argue. But maybe they disagree and they have ways of arguing that is actually constructive. Like a rolling pin. Like that.
Like smacking them on the head. No, but that's exactly right. Learning how to convey your thoughts, learning how to have exchanges and listen.
In the best of homes with what you think are the most idyllic relationships, there's got to – you mean to tell me with the – unless it is that Amal and George never see each other. That could be part of it. But they're only at events where everyone's happy and so on and so forth. But if you're living in the real world, I can't – I find that completely –
virtually impossible. Well, the people that you love most, think of outside of your partnership, your relationship. Think of best friends or brothers, sisters, whatever it may be. At some point, that person gets under your skin. Well, also, it's the people you love the most who can inflict the most pain. Right? When you stop and think about it. I've never actually been in a...
An altercation or argument with my older sister, ever. Not one time in our lives. But you, how long have you guys been married? Well, we've been together for 50 years, but you gotta think, like, you know, we lived under the same roof for a really long time. And just for some reason or another, she and I, we've always gotten along great. Okay. Yeah. How about this one? Does this work for you? We always have sex.
Me and my sister? No, no, no. It's been a while since we've had sex. I mean, it has to be the right mood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's a humble brag. We always have sex. So that would fall under the sting sort of thing. But you said he walked that back. Yes, it was a while after that. Having well-matched sex drives is great, but that doesn't mean that you'll always have that luck. Patterson says it's frustrating when people suggest they've cracked the code and have a perfect sex.
sex life. Things are never always perfect. Yeah, and since my prostate removal, I just chew confetti now. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. All right, here's another one that is a humblebrag considered amongst couples that can make them sound arrogant. It was love at first sight. Shut up. Did you ever have a situation where you were confused or did you for a second think that you had love at first sight? I remember...
I remember being enchanted by Claire pretty quickly, but I wouldn't call it love at first sight. No, I remember seeing Rochelle and going, that chick's hot. Damn. I'm going to go fire on her and see if I can get some stanky tonight. And it took you like two years, didn't it? It did. I feel like the only time you can actually say it was love at first sight and it wasn't like hyperbole is when you're looking at your child being born, right? Yeah.
Yeah. Otherwise. Yeah, I know what you're saying. Yeah, you don't know that person yet. They might be attractive. I want to bang her first time. But even with your child, don't you have to wait and find out what they're like? What's the personality like?
So, it says... I mean, the odds are good I'm going to really like you, but let's talk. The therapist says, even if it really happened, it's not as glamorous as it sounds. In reality, we're talking about chemistry, and chemistry is a lot of chemicals like cortisol and dopamine that create anxiety. And semen. Both anxiety, fear, and excitement are processed in the same way by the brain as arousal. Oh, yeah. So...
All right, here's another statement. We don't air our dirty laundry with anyone. It says complaining too much about your partner isn't healthy, but having someone to talk to about what's happening in your love life definitely is. I agree with that. I've been over the course of my life, I've been with couples who are all of their fighting, all of their antagonism is,
Is out on display. In fact, it's kind of the thing that they would do. Oh, him. He's always... Or her. And it's like, I don't find this enjoyable. I don't find living your stress tacitly any good time. Although, and I think we've all observed this before, is that when couples decide to air their dirty laundry on social media...
Oh, give me some popcorn, man. It's the best. Listen, it doesn't mean you don't love to watch. Hey, even if you're at a restaurant, if you see a fight between a couple go down... Oh, I hate it. If it's short of like, I don't want to see a fist fight, but where something's going on, sometimes it...
It makes me automatically uncomfortable. Really? Yeah, I can't stand it. Let me clarify. In person or online? Online, spilling the tea, gossiping, whining about the husband or the wife or whatever. To me, it irks me. It gets under my skin. I don't like hearing that. I don't like seeing it online. And I certainly, Steve, don't like seeing it in the public. Oh, wow. We used to live in this neighborhood. The people behind us lived in a flag lot. So they were behind us.
our house yeah and uh they the the couple in order to not argue in front of the kids would go outside oh that's right i remember yeah yeah it'd be like shell and you know what you would come here they're at it again we we used to be able to hear through the wall of uh we had a duplex and you'd hear it and you'd listen i freely admit it's a loathsome thing claire and i would sit on the steps right because it was right next to i mean it's coming it's coming through the
walls as long as nobody you don't hear like a physical fight you're hearing it's compelling over a pocketbook or something like i'm sorry yeah i'm gonna sit down and have some snow caps i remember my first home was a row home and the people connected to me we could they're like firewall i don't know what that i don't know what was in between but we could hear every word and remember i mean it was actually pretty sad but um i mean it was in a
Oh, man. That's sort of sad. Childhood trauma. Yeah. Oh, man. No. It was really sad. But, I mean, we would hear them fight about everything, what they were eating. And it was like, oh, here they go again. Yeah. When we sold the house...
we went over and knocked on the door and we were like, hey, we just want to let you guys know the house is going up for sale. So you might see people like, please be quiet. But I think they got the point because it like... They wanted you out. No, they just... It was funny for them. I think they knew, you know, like they knew we could hear them and... I'm sorry. We'll keep it down. Right. That bitch! Yeah.
And then one, I only have one more on this list. And it says, when couples say, we never go to bed angry. The therapist says, sleeping on it is okay. These experts confirm. So don't feel like everything has to be fixed before bedtime, no matter how romantic some couples make it seem. I know the old axiom of never go to bed angry. Not feasible. Ah.
I, yeah, sometimes this is not 100% possible. Making a conscious effort to say, let's table this. Yes. Let's sleep on this. Let's revisit this. No, I think it's better to let cooler heads prevail. Yeah. What you don't want is to be introduced to an inflammatory subject as you're walking up the steps. That's the best part. You guys know that that used to be my thing with Rochelle.
And for the overwhelming amount of population who don't get up before 4 o'clock in the morning, don't understand how valuable that sleep time is. You're going up to bed? I just want to let you know you're a complete disappointment. I would get, I'd literally be walking up to bed and I would have been getting the silent treatment for like an hour beforehand. Then I get, we need to talk. And I'm like, oh. No, not now. We had an hour before this. Why not?
Because we were being silent. Yeah, exactly. You should just walk around with earbuds in. I didn't hear you. Once I finally sat down when we weren't under confrontation and said, listen, you got to do me a favor. Yeah. If you have an issue, we need to discuss this well before bedtime because I can't do this.
do that. And it ended up being one of those important conversations that we had in our relationship and it made a huge, huge difference. If you're the people who, and I think most people want to avoid conflict, especially with the person that they love the most, you know? But the truth of the matter is if you can work out those skills, try to stick to them, you won't do them all the time, but it does make things a little bit easier. Yeah. That's where OJ lost. Right. So this is an interesting...
article about humble brags make couples sound angry. You know a way to solve things is to headbutt the other person. Headbutt. That's the way, that's what you do. Headbutting is really the way you make a strong case for your argument. It's a classic headbutt. I've never headbutted anybody out of anger. Certainly not as a 50-year-old man. So tell the story. No, I'm not going to tell the story. But...
When you are, let's say, getting into a kerfuffle and your first move is to headbutt somebody, you should aim for their nose, right? Like you're not headbutting them like a ram. Well, I'm going to propose a radical concept. Right, right. I'm going to say that at a certain age, maybe past 11, you probably shouldn't be headbutting someone.
You know? Yeah, case in like a good headbutt. Yeah. Is going like... I'll explain because if you're going to headbutt someone... I'm over case in. He's leaning over. You don't want the top of your head going forward like that. You don't want to bang like this. I was thinking...
I thought the forehead is what... You don't want to go with the top of your head. This is like the biggest, boniest part of your head, right? Of your skull. But if I were to grab you and pull down like that, it's going to be more damage to you than me. Looked like we were going to make out there as we just watched this on the YouTube stream. Pretty erotic. But the idea is to smash the face and the nose. To me...
Can I... I'm not going to tell the whole... I'm not going to tell this story, but we recently heard of something, an altercation that took place amongst fully grown adults. Yeah. Fully...
grown adults. Over 50. Over 50 years old. And somebody headbutted somebody else who was in a bar and got into a full-on fight at a joyous event, Mike. Oh, is this what you were telling us the other day? I wasn't telling you. Oh, I meant you, Preston. I meant you. Yeah, yeah. It's what I heard secondhand about something that took place. And it got us into a short conversation of what...
What fully grown adult, you know, who's not like a slobbering alcoholic and a bar fly or whatever, living that type of lifestyle, gets into an altercation at this age at a party for, you know... At a celebration. A celebration, a special event. Hey, did you eat all the taco dip? But I guess you got those types, but you think you outgrow that attitude? In a normal...
Listen, obviously fights occur, wars occur, things like that happen. But at what age...
Do we think the concept of throwing down for things that are not like I'm being attacked on the street. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Where you're just upset because someone put your coat on where the dog sleeps. Or spilled a drink or whatever it is. Or somebody's talking to somebody in your group and you don't want them talking to somebody in your group. Right. Just talking. Yeah. Where you can't with words get your way out of it. Yeah.
I'm thinking that's a game that should be over mid-20s, maybe early 20s. I would hope so. Yeah, by the time you get to your 30s. I mean, you're still college, maybe? Yeah. I mean, to me, it's like it shouldn't even be college. You know what I mean? I know, I know, but you know what I'm saying. No, no, I do know what you're saying, but like, you know, like younger minds, you know, like...
You know, they tend to be emotional and they're, you know, unable to meter or tamp down their emotions, especially in an inebriated state or something. Have you ever been headbutted? No. I have headbutted. Have you really? I went through a headbutt phase with my friends. We used to headbutt each other and it was stupid and...
The night before I went to start my very first radio job, January 2nd, 1990, my best friend, and it was my idea. I looked at Steve. We had this look. We would get each other a case. It was like this. That's headbutt time. Okay. So we would do it voluntarily. It was your thing. It was so stupid. Like you were too. I was 21. Where would your headbutt land?
Well, this time, this time, the day before I start my new job, it was two days before I start my new job. I give Steve the look. Yeah. And then we go to headbutt and he caught me on my eyebrow. Oh, no. And I got a full on shine. Did it split open? No. Oh, my God. But I got a full, I go to my new career. Hi there. With a black eye.
I'm well respected in my field. I'm a full on fresh purple black eye. You need to understand my dear friend and I, we have a head butt thing that we do. We have this look that we give each other. We know. I'll show you what it's like to say. And then we head butt each other. Yay!
Now, let's get to work. I haven't talked to Liesig about that, Steve, my buddy Steve, in ages. I wonder if he remembers. Did he end up bruised too or no? I don't think I... No, I was the only real casualty. To that point, at that point, when you're doing friendly headbutt, friend headbutting, you're looking more for the general...
area of the forehead. Yeah, yeah. That's what you were looking at. You're trying to keep it above the eyes and nose. I wasn't trying to hit the nose or anything like that. It was just like rams, like butt heads. Yeah, and it would hurt like a couple times. I'm sure I got a mild concussion doing that a couple times. You're probably looking at my black eye. My friend and I will occasionally headbutt each other, but we do it because we have a crazy look.
Yeah, we're part of the HBC, the Headbutt Club. You know what? Here's where we could go with this conversation. What other stupid, pain-inflicting thing would you do with your friends? On purpose. Purple nurples. Dead arms. Dead arms. We did dead arms for a long time. Me and my brothers, me and my friends, for no good reason. Also, we went through the punch buggy phase, but sometimes the punch buggy phase got really violent.
But I mean, also not to catch somebody off guard, you know, like two for flinching and get them. But I'm like, hit me. Hit me now. You know what I mean? That type of thing where you voluntarily take the pain as well. Stomach punches. Stomach punches, ball taps. Thankfully, I wasn't part of the ball tap crew. The BGC? We didn't do that either. It's not to say that I haven't been ball tapped, but it wasn't like... I think ball tapping came into vogue after...
I graduated from high school. Of all time, it's going to make you puke. And that's the one issue. None of the other ones, all of them will not get that...
visceral gut reaction that makes you vomit. I can't believe you said the ball tapping thing. Literally, I was just hanging at a friend's house a month ago and all the guys started ball tapping each other. You are in your 40s. I'm going to grab it for you so it doesn't disappear. Thank you. I saw one text. I can't believe this one. Hang on a sec. Nick's got to find it. Somebody said, I went through a full beer...
it over my forehead face. Oh, holy hell. I had a friend who did that. Is that like a Stone Cold Steve Austin thing when he smashed beers on his head and then drank it? I don't know. So you're talking about you're holding it by the thin part of the bottle and smashing the bottle? No, no, no. I would say can. Probably smash it. My friend
in college, his wasn't a full beer though. He would finish the beer and then break the bottle over his head. Get out! It was when he was finished at the bar and he was ready to leave because he knew he would get kicked out. So he would do it at the end of every day. Why not just start a fire? You know what's so funny, Kath? My wife's friend, when they were down, they had a house down the shore in Sea Isle and every time it was time for him to go home from the bar, he would just take his shirt off and then they'd kick him out. He's like, I gotta go home. He'd rip his shirt off and then the ambassador would come, you gotta go.
That was how he would exit. Could you just leave of your own volition? Yeah, that's why. I need to be thrown out. No, it was something they wanted to do, but you'd have to wait until the end of the night because you'd get kicked out. So when you were ready to leave, you did that thing you wanted to do. So at some point, he just wanted to take his shirt off. Right, exactly.
All right, so growing up, purple nurples... Maybe I'll just leave. Purple nurples were a huge thing in my household between me and my brothers. And it got so bad that I actually got nodules inside my nipples from getting...
You had neuropatosis. I did. Well, you can't call them T-twisters, right? No. So dumb. All right. So I know we're talking about surprising inflicting pain on people. One of the things that thankfully this never happened to me. Case, you guys ever used to do bull burns? What is a bull burn? No. Bull burns. No, but...
You did it with lighters. I knew a couple guys that had permanent scars from that. Steve, so a pipe of marijuana. If you're doing marijuana, Nick. So some of them would have a big metal bowl. And if you would get that thing hot while you're smoking it. And I mean like
burn your skin. Second, third degree burn. Oh my God. And you just like hit somebody with that. So you like brand them. Yeah, big time. Horrible. I don't listen. I don't know if this is if it was staged or if it was real, but I saw it on Instagram where the dude farts into his hand and then he puts it into his friend's face. And then when the friend reacts to that, he ball taps him and then he does something else. And to me, it was not
It's going to make you laugh. It was him and Bernie Sanders. I'm going to cut your big fart and I'm going to put it up in your face and I'm going to fall for it. But it's a series of like, hey, the guy is hilarious. It's like a series of like three or four things in a row that this one guy does to his friend. It's hilarious. But that's just arranged. No, no, no. But it's not here. Actually, we're watching a video right now. Dude.
Oh, he ball taps him first and then throws a fart. Oh, there you go. Ball tapping so they bend over and then you shove the fart up in their nose. Okay. There's a bunch of people texting in and I'd forgotten about this one, but bloody knuckles with quarters. We would do that and essentially you would put a quarter in between your fingers and it was like wrapping knuckles.
And there was no point to this game, if you could call it a game, other than to injure yourself and or injure your friends. But we did it a lot. Yeah, actually, you know what? I'm sorry. Run that by me again, would you? So, Steve, you take a quarter, right? And you put it in between your knuckles. And you know how to do the wrapping knuckles game? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where you essentially smack. Oh.
But the quarter, Steve, turns into a weapon. Yes. So you become a... You're almost like Wolverine. Right. You're more lethal. Because you got a quarter tucked in there and it's much more painful. Nick, let me ask you because you had mentioned something earlier. Would you say dead hand or dead fingers? What is that? Dead arm. Dead arm. Oh, what is a dead arm? Dead arm is just punching the other person's arm right about here in between your shoulder and your elbow as hard as you could for as long as you could until that arm was dead. Because I don't know what you call it. I don't know if we call it a dead finger, but...
So when we were on the swim team and dive team, we were just kind of sitting around waiting. All you had to do, you would just swipe your fingers and down somebody's butt cheek. You didn't even actually hit them that hard. I can do it. But it hurt. Yeah, it hurts bad. Yeah, yeah. Turn around. I haven't done this in a long time. All right. You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did not, dude. It's almost like getting snapped with a rubber band. Yeah. It's like a whip, Steve. It's your nails. It's your fingernails. You flip your hand down like this and it just catches a little bit. But it hurts bad. It feels like getting snapped with a rubber band. We used to do that all the time. And sometimes it'd be like...
When you don't know what's coming, you just sit there in a conversation. There's the two levels. There's the surprise attack and then there's the crazy eye headbutt thing. It's intentional. What about the pinch on the back of the arm? I don't know if that was called something, but it hurt so... Something bite. It hurt so bad.
Monkey bite, yeah, because you would pinch with your two knuckles. And it was just a little pinch, but it hurt so bad. Like a monkey's mandibles. That was like a high school thing, and they knew not to... It was the guys that did it, but they knew not to touch me because I would punch them. It hurt so bad. I got Logan joining us via Zoom this morning. Logan, what's up, buddy? Morning, guys. How you doing? Doing good. All right, so you did something interesting. He will be...
I want to start out with saying it was his idea. It was his idea. Oh, okay. Do tell. I'm not just a total a-hole. So we would play this game, dares, where we'd all write down dares, put them in a bowl. And if you drew it, you had to do it out of the bowl. And my buddy had written down branding. Branding. And so we pulled that out of the bowl. We bent a little piece of coat hanger into a shape. We got a lighter and an oven mitt.
And he dropped trowel and I stuck it right to one of his butt cheeks. So you branded him. How big was the brand, Mark? Holy hell. I'd say like two by two, maybe. Okay, decent size. What was the shape?
It was a shape of, there's a logo for the band Cirque Survive. Sure, that makes sense. I get it. That one makes sense. We let him pick. Follow-up question, Logan. Do you still know this guy and is this car still there?
We're best friends. He's the best man at my wedding. Yes, it is. So after you brand someone like that, I assume it pusses up in blisters or whatever. Or did you then step in and did the better part of your medical training kick in and you were able to stop it from being a bloody mess? Sucked the venom out. Yeah. We were ready for CPR just in case. There you go. What I remember the most is...
I was shocked by the sizzle and pop. Sizzle and pop. Oh my God. And then he ran away on his knees. It was hilarious. And Logan, did this come up during the best man speech at your wedding? It did not. Surprisingly enough, he had other things he wanted to share. All right. Fair enough. Thank you, Logan. Bye.
I love that special relationship that you have someone you can brand. That's a common thing, right? The sort of branded... My buddy's got a brand. He did it with either... I think he did it with a penny. But the scar is the size of a quarter or at least a half a dollar.
All of these are not fun, but I would take some of them over the head-butting thing. That was stupid because then you're flirting with potential concussion. Wait, didn't Chuck's son do some sort of branding? Yeah, and it's the same thing that my buddy did. So his was a part... It was like a senior scavenger hunt. Yeah. And one of the things was to get branded and...
And so of his group, he was the one who was like, all right, I'll be the one. The median age of this group? Yeah, about 17. Oh, wow. Yeah, they were all like seniors in high school. Chuck was mad, right? I don't think he was happy about it. Right. And he's going to be scarred for the rest of his life. Yeah. Look bad.
look badass. Well, listen, thank you for sharing. We appreciate that. We got to take a break. I'm looking at the clock here. It's almost 8 and we got to get to 20 money. So we'll break. We'll come back in a moment. Bizarre File stories are on the way. We also got to talk a little bit about Take Steps Walk, which is coming up on Friday, May 9th.

Brought to you by Sequoia Outback. You got to sub in for their annual spring in the Sequoia sale, which is going on now. Route 309 in Hatfield or at techsupplies.com. You can experience the ultimate in outdoor living at Sequoia Outback. Well, here's a news story I had to put in the bizarre file because this happened while operating in the Red Sea yesterday. USS Harry S. Truman lost.
an F-A-18E Super Hornet aircraft along with a tow tractor. All personnel been accounted for. One sailor suffered a minor injury, but the F-A-18 was being towed in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft resulting in both the Super Hornet and the tow tractor going overboard into the ocean. How many millions of dollars are we talking about? It's like $80 million. What'd you do? What?
I didn't mean to do it. Sailors involved in the tow operation quickly moved clear of the area before the aircraft fell into the sea. An investigation into the incident is currently underway. John, can I see you in my office?
Despite the loss, the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group and its embarked air wing remain fully mission capable, the Navy says. According to some unconfirmed reports, a jet fell overboard as the carrier performed a sharp turn to evade a Hothi fire. If this is confirmed, this incident would heighten
Highlight the risks of operating in contested waters like the Red Sea, a key trade route. The Houthis and Iran back to group have been targeting U.S. assets amid ongoing tensions. The loss of the jet raises questions about carrier vulnerabilities and may push the U.S. to rethink naval defense strategies against such threats. Still, if you're under Houthi fire and you're how sharp a turn, you can't, you know, I mean, it's still a gradual turn on a dime. Yeah.
But I guess if it's, you know, listing, if it's leaning enough and the plane isn't secure. Put the parking brake on. It starts moving. So, Carrier Air Wing 1 aboard USS Truman sailing in the Mediterranean Sea. This is not the first time this has happened. So, this happened in July of 2022. I remember seeing footage. Yeah, an F-18 Super Hornet.
had apparently blew off the flight deck of the aircraft carrier due to bad weather. Oh, we lost another one. Was it shot down? No, it just fell overboard. The mishap was not related to the aircraft going overboard during flying activity, but occurred as the carrier was hit by an unexpected brief period of intense winds and heavy rains. Which you usually find outside. A week later, the U.S. Navy announced that the aircraft successfully, yeah, was successfully recovered from a depth of 9,500 feet. Oh!
Listen, if a... By a team from Task Force. If a car gets flooded, it has to be written off as a total loss. Yeah. You're going to pull that out of the water? Well, they had sensitive material. They got to get back from those things. All right, here's a different story. A woman from China claims that she caught herpes by holding the microphone too close to her mouth at a karaoke lounge. Can I believe it? Really? Yeah. Was Gary Lauer before her? Uh-huh.
You guys are going to love this one. He was saying strangers in the night. Strangers in the night. Sweetie, I'd wash that off. The unnamed woman took to China's version of TikTok. Share the story.
of how she became infected with HSV-1 virus, which usually causes cold sores around the mouth. She had visited a karaoke lounge and got a bit carried away during her performance holding the microphone much closer to her mouth than she should have.
Sometime later, pustulant blisters appeared around her mouth. Although they were painful and itchy, she didn't pay too much attention to them and they eventually went away. Only they came back in a matter of days and this time the woman sought medical attention and learned she had the virus.
The woman said that she was certain she had become infected with the virus from the karaoke microphone, adding that she had never had herpes blisters before that. And she's been struggling with herpes for the last eight years. And cold sores started appearing on her cheeks this year as well. Wow. Wow. Well, yeah, I guess it does make sense, right? Yeah. So dermatologists have yet to confirm her story, but one can actually get infected.
uh, by touching, you know, other things that other people had touched. This is not a call to action. We got to get rid of karaoke. I think we've got to end karaoke. You know, you can only do it with a live band. That's the best way to do it. There was a woman that sued one of the, uh, cosmetic, you know, the big cosmetic stores. I forget which one it was because remember she put lipstick on and she, and I, it was either ultra or before. I just didn't want to say their names. I don't know. But I, like I see those lipsticks in there and, uh,
most people probably put it on their hands, but like, you know, somebody's putting it on their lips. I'm like, don't do that. Yeah, how does this look? Yeah. All right, A,
A Virginia woman said she had a night to remember when she went to eat at a Mexican restaurant, Kathy, this one's for you, and ended up eye to eye with a scaly, slithering creature. So it was Carletta Andrews. She visited a Patron Mexican restaurant in Cantina. You mind if I join you? With her husband to enjoy a nice night. However, at the end of her meal, she found in her margarita, Kathy, a baby snake. Oh, my God.
So she said, I might think that's a tradition. She said, I leaned it. Yeah, it's normally a worm. Did you eat the snake? She said, I leaned in to take a sip and I noticed something hit me in the forehead and I looked at my husband and I said, what was that? And when I turned around, I saw a snake in my margarita. There's a snake in my margarita.
She said that she saw the reptile move and wrap around her straw. I would die. Workers attempted to remove the snake with a stick, but to no avail. Another restaurant goer eventually grabbed the animal and then took it outside. It's not a cold week. You just pick it up. She said, I left shaking. I was traumatized. The restaurant offered to move her to another seat, but she decided to leave instead. And now she's worried maybe there are more snakes in the restaurant. There was a possum in my cheesy bread.
The owner of the restaurant said that the snake likely entered through an air conditioning unit. He also reportedly said that no precautions are being taken to keep the incident from happening again. Well, that's comforting. And the Virginia Department of Health revealed the restaurant did have several violations during an inspection of December of last year, including mold, broken handles, and missing ceiling tiles. I was at a Mexican restaurant once with a good friend of mine, and at the end of her meal, she found a thick,
piece of glass in her meal. And, you know, we told the manager and he apologized profusely. I'm so sorry. And he came back to tell us what had happened to explain. And he said, we have those like industrial grade light bulbs in the ceiling and we had to change one and it fell and broke and we didn't change the sauce because we thought nothing got in it. Oops. She was like, oops.
Okay, well, you might want to change the sauce now. Yeah, maybe so. All right, and there you go. That's what I have in the Bazaar file for you. Before we wrap this segment, we are going to welcome a guest to the microphone. There's an event that I will be hosting. I've been doing it for like over a decade now. And this is a little bit change up this year for the Take Steps
Crohn's and colitis walk because as opposed to doing it on a Sunday, which we've done traditionally for years now, it's going to be on a Friday and in the evening, Friday, May 9th. This sounds cool. 7 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park. And there are a lot of great events that are taking place. Casey's got some music for me to play here. Everything comes down to food.
From the top of your head to the sole of your shoes, we can figure out what's wrong with you by looking at your poo. There you go. It's true. Absolutely. And we would like to welcome this morning from Virtua Health's Crohn's and Colitis Center, Dr. Suckett-Patek.
Thank you for having me. I'm surprised you didn't sing along to that, Dr. Bell. That's your life, right? Yes, every day. All right, well, listen. So I've been a part of the Take Steps event for, like I said, a number of years. My youngest has Crohn's, and so that's how I got involved with that. But, you know, it covers all inflammatory bowel diseases. What all is underneath that umbrella that people may be aware of? So ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease fall under the category of
inflammatory bowel disease. In our center, we also manage microscopic colitis, indeterminate colitis, which sort of when the diagnosis between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis isn't clear. So one of the things that opened up my eyes to how serious of a condition that can be for some people is when I went to the
started going to this event and hosting this event, it was hearing from the heroes that they have, the people that come up and tell their story that have personally had Crohn's affect their lives. And sometimes it's the actual patients, sometimes it's parents of patients that come up and speak. And I remember there was a woman who was, she legitimately, she tried taking her own life. Because it was unbearable? Because the pain was unbearable. I think she had ulcerative colitis.
And so we're talking about a very, very serious condition for some people here, right, doctor? Yeah, it can be debilitating. People live in silence oftentimes. They get, you know, they live with symptoms for years before getting the diagnosis and then appropriately being managed. Is it sometimes because they're embarrassing, you know, conditioned and they don't want to share that with other people? There is a stigma around it. There is, you know, often...
you know, people just learn to live with it thinking that it's normal. And, you know, they just need to be heard. All right. Well, this is one of the biggest events in the country that takes place to raise funds for this. How is research coming these days? So it is, you know, I often tell patients if there were ever a good time to get IBD,
Not that there's ever a good time for that. It's 2025. We have lots of different options. We have lots to offer patients and patients can live a normal, healthy life with the available options. It wasn't that long ago where we only had few options.
Now, there's a slew of options and more coming. That's great. My youngest now lives with it and has very few issues now. We've found the proper course of treatment over those years. It took a while to find what was working, but probiotics and things like that have helped out.
So if you're curious about this and you want to be a part of it and either find out what kind of a solution might be there for you, you can come to this event. You can talk to the professionals. There's tons of doctors like Dr. Patel that are there. And obviously everyone that's involved in this has a connection to this as well. What exactly, what have you been doing personally for tackling a cure for all this?
So, you know, I direct the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center over in South Jersey, and we have created a multidisciplinary care team to help manage IBD. We have a team-based approach. We have nutrition, sort of IBD-focused registered dietician in our center. We have colorectal surgery. We have our IBD specialist and a full support staff to help patients navigate, you know, the complex healthcare landscape because, you know, oftentimes people need support
pre-certifications, prior authorizations, and it takes time to get them on the right treatment. So we've been working really hard to create this team. And we also have been working very hard to bring the latest and greatest. And so we have intestinal ultrasound that I do over in Morristown, New Jersey, offers more advanced point of care diagnostics. I can show patients
What inflammation looks like right there in the office. Easier to understand. How many people in the United States, guesstimate, are suffering from some form of this? So roughly 3 million Americans. That's about a percent of our population that's living with inflammatory bowel disease. Right, right. So it's a lot.
Well, we have this money to raise funds and there's a lot of cool stuff that's going to be happening. Can you tell us a little bit on the day what's happening on the 7th? Yeah, so it's going to be a fun event. It starts... It kicks off at 5 p.m. There's a tailgate in Lot P with food trucks. The festival itself opens at 6. And then we have...
a lot of fun activities for the kids. Face painting, magicians, there will be... Like superheroes are usually running around. Superheroes, exactly. And then I'll be also participating in dunk the tank competition. Nice. You'll be the donkey? I will be in the...
You're going in, right? I'm going in. I did last year, too. All right. And so then... It's like a full Circus Carnival thing going on. And since it's the evening, we're getting a fireworks show. Oh, wow. Yeah, like the Phillies fireworks show. And you know how good that is. Yeah. So that's going to be pretty awesome. Yeah, and that's at 8 o'clock. And it'll be a really fun event. It's a glow-up event. And families, friends, colleagues...
Lots of people join to support those suffering with IBD, raise awareness and raise funds for research. This is something that is important.
Near and dear, I myself have ulcerative colitis. I didn't know that. One of the reasons why I went into this field. I have a team, a virtual team, a virtual bowel brigade. Last year was the first time we were sponsoring and this will be sponsoring again. You're not the first doctor I've met that has IBD that has gone into this field as well. Sometimes that can be a motivating factor, right? It can be. It can be very motivating. It's
impactful for people, you know, when it leads you to sort of totally change your life and journey. Wow. All right. Well, we're looking forward to a great evening, gang. Get involved with this. If you want to be a part of it, it's a great party and obviously it's a wonderful cause. And you can go to Crohn'sColitisFoundation.org.
We'll link to that through PrestonAndSteve.com. Make it very, very easy for you. And you can come out. And if you're curious or if you want to find a community, this is how we got involved. When my youngest was diagnosed, we're like, okay, we need support. Who do we talk to? We need to meet other people. And so we got involved and jumped on board with Crohn's Colitis Foundation. So it's there for you. And you can get those tickets and information or register or just come out and be a part of it. Crohn's Colitis Foundation.
So I will see you there on the 7th, Doctor. I will be there. All right. It's good to see you. Thanks for being here, Dr. Sankit Patel. And please come and join us. It's going to be a great event. We do have to take a break. We're going to come back in a moment. Don't forget the key word for 20 Money is Judge. J-U-D-G-E. And to that right now. We'll be back in a moment. Stay with us.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thanks, Kath. We've got some guests who are going to be joining us a little bit later on. But in the meantime, we have a little bit of time to spend with each other. And I think it's time for we go to my world, Presbo. Totally. Yeah.
Totally Presbo. Yes. Hi, Presbo. Hi, Getty. So the world said its final farewell to Pope Francis. Yes. The funeral procession traveled to his final resting place at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. By the way, quick question before you complete that thought because I will forget it. We had talked a while ago about someone whose job it was to actually...
finally conclusively discerned that the Pope is... Do you remember this? Somebody was supposed to go up, but I don't know why this is in my mind. With a mirror and put it under his nose? There was somebody who was codified by the Vatican who is the absolute death-decreer. Do you remember this? No. Okay, all right. But listen, there are a lot of ceremonial things that take place. I did read...
the other day why they destroy the signet ring when the Pope dies. It's part of someone's job. It goes to another lantern. No, it's not the Green Lantern. But it is someone's job to take essentially a chisel and a hammer and to destroy the ring. And it's because it's a signet ring because it's still used for seals. Not the animal. No.
He can play a horn. It's a whistle. He blows it and they follow commands. No, it's a wax seal. So they use that ring and it's like a signature. And so when the person is gone, they don't want anybody to impersonate.
anything official, so they destroy the ring. Side note, I love wax seals. I don't know what it is about them, but they are really, really cool. I actually had one of the kits to do it. It was one of those cheap things that had supposedly our family crest on it. You could seal wax seals.
First of all, I don't write letters. But it was kind of cool. You do it once or twice and then you never use it again. Anybody watch Conclave yet? Yes, I saw it when it came out. There's a wax seal that's involved in Conclave. So anyhow, the hearse that they carried him in was not a hearse.
It was an everyman's work vehicle. It was a full-size pickup truck. So what I heard was incorrect, then, that they were going to use the Monster Mobile. They did not use. They used a Ram 1500. Huh? It's...
No, it's a full-on, like, big old... Look at this. Look at the pig truck. It's the Pope truck. So they did not use a hearse. Ram tough. During his 12-year... Wait, is that a bumper sticker that says I eat ass on the back of that? No. No. Okay. But I showed you a picture of a guy driving that the other day, didn't I? Did I show that to you? No, but there was one parked in front of my house. Oh, no, it wasn't I eat ass. No, I showed this to Nick. I literally...
I was on Belmont. This guy had a bumper sticker that said, I eat ass. No, no, no, no, no. Not a bumper sticker. A paint job. What? It didn't say, I eat ass. Here, I'm going to show it to you. This is the back of his van. It says, hauling ass. Okay. And then it says, ass man. Oh. This is on the back of his van. Look at this. Okay. Okay.
And he's got women with their bare asses hanging out of the back of this. And I'm like, really? Come on, man. I took a picture of it. I'm like, really? You drive around like that, for real? It's a daycare, right? All righty, ass man. Sorry, I'm watching your friends and neighbors and one of the...
It's good, right? And the guy who plays Nick, it's like this. It's a divorced family, whatever. And he's the new boyfriend and he shows up in his work van that's now painted with his ass on it and says something about butts. And he's a personal trainer at a gym. It's rap and it's like rock ass or something like that. Well, it's in like Kill Bill. The guy, Buck, has a pussy rap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really? You drive around with that thing? That's real.
All right. So anyhow, during his 12-year papacy, we're talking about the Pope, by the way. Yes. Pope Francis eschewed the tradition of using a Popemobile during public appearances. Yes, that's true. Instead, he preferred to walk or travel in more unassuming vehicles like compact cars. And if it had to be a Popemobile, then it was probably a modified Jeep, Fiat, Hyundai, or Kia. Pope Francis also had an affinity for trucks, having utilized a first-gen Nissan Frontier during a visit to Meridius, Alaska.
Although he was gifted a new electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class Popemobile in December, it's rather fitting that his final ride would be in a Ram 1500 because it's more of the way he rolled. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. That's the way to break it. Make it a guy, man. Yeah. The truck was equipped with familiar Popemobile modifications, including a standing platform and protective overhead shield, but the Ram Popemobile is largely open air.
having likened the fully enclosed bulletproof Popemobiles to a sardine can, Pope Francis generally would refuse to use them. And if he had to travel via Popemobile, it would be an open-air one in some way, allowing him to better connect with the people. I always thought it'd be kind of cool if he had one of those rigs like they have in the Mad Max movies, with the two guys playing guitar in the front, and something big. I mean, this is one of the religious world leaders. But acknowledging that...
the fact that he liked to ride in open-air vehicles increased his vulnerability for assassination attempt. He told a Spanish newspaper, I know that something happened to me, but it's in the hands of God, he said. So he was not afraid to be an open target. Yeah, I think, listen,
if somebody really wants to get you, they're going to get you. You don't want to make it too easy, but I can understand what he was saying. But it's pretty wild to see this big American Ram truck. It's all white, like in the Pope style, but to taking him to his final resting place. And it's got spinners. He's bringing back spinning rims? Truck nuts. Dude.
Could you imagine? A set of white balls hanging on the back of his truck. These are my Pope truck nuts. I love it. I love it. All right. Let's see. I have another thing. Totally Presbyterian. Yo, Romano. Yeah. I had you in mind with this one. So the article says, Mom shares clever way to teach family a lesson on packing for trips. Oh, okay.
Do you pack for the family? I pack for Jace, for sure. And I know even just like going to the shore or somewhere, my friends will let their kids pack. I just, I don't see it. I know I probably should, but I just don't see it. That leads to a luggage full of chicken nuggets, right? Or just like, no, like he would throw clothes in there, but they wouldn't...
Right. He tries, but I don't know. What are you, a little idiot? When we were little, and my little brother was little, we were going, I think we were going to like Virginia Beach or something like that. My mom let my little brother pack for himself. And I guess, listen, she was overwhelmed. She had four little kids. Yeah.
We get there and his suitcase was like full of Matchbox cars. And I'm like, that was it. When I was in this is pre-K, I was going to run away from home and I packed and I grabbed a bag and I figured the only thing I needed to hit the road.
was grape jelly. Okay. That's all you need. Honestly, you can trade it. You can eat it. Yep. Took it with me. We took a camping trip out west when my brother Josh was probably seven or eight and we rented an RV for a stretch and my brother Josh packed away like half of the pots and the pans in the house because we were going to go camping. Stop it. So for like two months, my mom was like, what happened?
to all the pans that we had. And they were in his closet in the suitcase waiting for the trip. And the trip wasn't until like August or whatever. He was just ready, man. He was ready, yeah. Preparation counts for something. You know what? I love pancakes.
Packing. I really enjoy it. I don't know. Maybe there's just an excitement about where I'm going. But even when I'm at that destination and I have to pack to get ready to leave the next day. You don't mind doing that? Not at all. Do you go on the trip out? Do you take it a long trip? Do you do the multiple pack, pack, unpack? Do two or three times, three iterations to pare it down to the absolute bare bones minimum? No, no, no. Or does your first pack take? I'm a first take person.
You're a complete packer. And usually, like, if it's a longer vacation, Steve, what I'll try and do is go, like, out for the day. You know what I mean? And then I pack those all together. And then I get my extras. I'm like, okay, I'm going to need a couple extra T-shirts. Some pots and pans. But even still, like, when we were in Clearwater, Kev...
Like, I actually took a picture of my area after I got done packing for the evening because it was just like perfect. It was, you know, everything. All I had to do was just wake up and take a shower and go. So I am a very efficient packer. I do pack, take some things out. So the end result, I'm pretty efficient in what I need. If I come home with an extra outfit, it's like, oh, okay. But I don't usually. I think that's why I have to pack frequently.
for Jace. So Rochelle used to pack for the whole family except for me and so that was a lot, you know, three kids but that's why this story kind of rung with me. This woman named JJ Banka is her name but she kind of, she packs a lot. She brings a lot of things that people might need just in case. Yeah. Having allergy meds, a sewing kit, blister bandages and all this stuff gives her peace of mind but her husband thinks that
All that stuff is unnecessary. So she got tired of hearing him complain about that, that she overpacks, and she decided to teach them a lesson on the value of being prepared. So she let them pack for themselves on a recent trip. But...
She secretly packed all the items that they didn't bring just in case. Right, okay. Now, when they needed things while they were traveling, she would hand them over and then she would charge them 20 minutes of uninterrupted leave mom alone chill time. That's great. I love it. So she was charging them for the things that they needed. I wouldn't charge them money. Yeah, but she...
She just needed, it was vacation. That'll be 10 bucks. And she wanted no responsibilities when it came to that stuff. So if it was, she said like the kids, she knew they'd be in and out of water. So nobody likes to have a, put on a wet bathing suit. So she would bring an extra bathing suit, more than one bathing suit. They wouldn't do that type of thing. So she managed to find a way to get something extra.
That's really funny. So when you travel and you know you're going to be in a place where you can just go to the store, you don't go so crazy like, I'll get this when I get there or whatever. I bring everything. Yeah. I never do that. I mean, clothes are mainly what I have in mind. Clothes, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I never, no, I bring what I'm going to wear. You'll just buy clothes there sometimes? No, no, no. I'm talking about like toiletries or something. Yes, a couple of things. Yeah, those are easy. Yeah, yeah. A lot of times hotel will supply those. But like if you're going, you know, you want to bring your sunscreen or whatever, I pack
sunscreen for the seven days that we're going to be gone. Like as if there's not a store where I can't go and get sunscreen. Yeah, they don't have stores in Florida. Do you have stores here? Well, sometimes when the maids are cleaning the room, you can just walk right across and go into that room, see what they have. See what they got. Like, oh, I didn't. This is complimentary. I love raiding the house.
Keeper's cart. I actually have to fly out to Michigan on Friday and drive my daughter home from college at Michigan State on technically Friday night. So I'm having a hard time because I don't really need to pack all that much. So I'm just going to go with a backpack. Yeah, your matchbox cart. Yeah, it kind of bums me out that I don't really get to pack that much. Well, if you are this type of person where they don't bring enough and you bring more than enough and they give you a hard time about it, charge them for it. You can do that if it's in your family. All right.
Another story. So this one stood out to me because of the name. This is a story about a guy and I kid you not, his name is Walter Frankenstein. Walter Frankenstein. Yes. And I was like, he's the nicest of the Frankenstein family. I was like, that's an interesting name. I never got into medicine. Uh,
A more interesting story. Walter Frankenstein survived the Holocaust by hiding in Berlin with his wife and infant children and spent his later years educating young people to keep the events alive in memory. He just passed away. He lived to 100 years old. Amazing. Yeah.
survived the Holocaust and lived to 100 years old. What a story of survival. He passed away Monday in Stockholm. He was born in 1924 in Flatow, which is now Poland, but was then part of Germany. And three years after the Nazis came to power in 1936, he was no longer allowed to attend the town's public schools because he was Jewish.
And with the help of an uncle, he spent his mother sent him to Berlin where he could continue his education and later trained as a bricklayer at the Jewish community's vocational school. He stayed at the Jewish Arbox Sash Orphanage where he met Leonie Rosner, who would later become his wife. And in an interview in 2018, Frankenstein described how he witnessed Kristallnacht.
Yes. The Night of the Broken Glass. Yes. November 9, 1938, Nazis among many ordinary Germans terrorized Jews throughout Germany and Austria. They killed at least 91 people, vandalized 7,500 Jewish businesses, burned down more than 1,400 synagogues. Up to 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and taken to concentration camps.
And starting in 1941, he had to do forced labor in Berlin. He repeatedly was threatened by the danger of being deported by the Nazis in 1943. Five weeks after his son Peter was born, he went into hiding with his wife and Leon, and then they lived together.
for 25 months and hiding in Berlin. I mean, wow. You're right in the center of it. How do you pull that off? It's like hiding in the center of a tornado. That's crazy. Yeah, they stayed with friends or in bombed out buildings. Is it hiding in plain sight in any sense? I don't know, man. Just being like, I don't know.
I knowing how dangerous it is and just living your life anyway. I would have beaten a hasty retreat out of that if I could have. Yeah, that's the thing. So I thought it was it was pretty. Schools were good. The name had turned. It had caught my eye to the story. And then I started reading about astonishing these stories of survival. Incredible. I'm telling you, man, I know I've mentioned it a thousand times, but Geddy Lee's book is his memoir about his mom and dad.
Oh, my goodness. You know, they met at Bergen-Belsen. They got married at Auschwitz. It was insane that they survived. They bounced around from concentration camp to concentration camp. It's a tour you don't want to make. They were separated for a while. And this story of survival just blew me away. And Getty has all the details of it. It's really worth a read.
But I had never heard of somebody with the actual name Frankenstein before. Yes. And then has an incredible story of survival. I thought that was worth sharing with you guys. All right, here's another story. Totally Presbyterian.
So, an organization that cleans up the Jersey Shore has released their list of weird things left on the beach. Oh, this is always good. Clean Ocean Action spends its time cleaning up New Jersey beaches. And the trash picked up is sometimes a bit odd. So, they released a 2024 Beach Sweeps Report. And it includes some of the weirdest stuff that you'll find out on the beach. And I will...
I'll lead with a story of ourselves. This isn't a weird thing that we found, but it has become something that we use now. My friends, the Chapmans and Rochelle and I were at the shore and
And we have this saying, it goes back to a story from that Hawaii trip. Oh, yes. A story that I've told many, many times. The knife lover. Great story. And the story is, the line that we use is take three because this one person when taking pictures would always go, take three. So that's kind of a phrase we use. Well, we were out at the beach one day and we found an Uno card and it was a number three. Oh, yeah.
So I took a picture of it in the sand and that is now our photo for our group text. So our group text is called Take 3 and we found it on the beach. It was kind of this fun little thing. But you can find all kinds of weird stuff if you're walking around the beach. What was, besides the UNO card, what was the weirdest you found? Um...
I've never really found anything bizarre. We found a jewelry box one time that had some earrings in it and we took it to a lifeguard. Did you say you found a whole bunch of personal belongings on a blanket with an umbrella and car keys and everything? Yeah.
Yeah, food. Beer. Yeah, what is all this? You just took somebody's setup with you. Look, they're all over the place. The oldest thing, my son found a bottle from like the 1920s in the bay, though. It wasn't on the beach. That's pretty awesome. That was pretty cool. All right, so here are the things that they found that are the oddest among them. They found vampire teeth. Yeah. A rubber... Well, that's what happens. They go down for some sun. They explode into dust, but the teeth remain.
I was thinking maybe they were left over from Casey, the place at Maury's Pier is the haunted house. The haunted house, yeah. So they found a rubber foot, an unopened can of ravioli, a punching bag. I wonder if it's a speed bag or a heavy bag. Yeah, let's go to the beach. It'll work out.
Get some color. You can do that. Have a fleshy wedgie bar. Oh, look, vampire teeth. Can I wear these instead of the mouthpiece? Are you a vampire? That would be great. I'm not fighting no vampire.
They also found a full container of Wawa brand sausage and eggs, a gallon of maple syrup. All right. I didn't even know they sold maple syrup in gallons. Do you heat it up? Can you make like sun syrup? Maybe that's what it was doing out on the beach.
They found an Invisalign retainer. Oh, man. I bet you those get lost constantly. Yep. And they're not cheap. A message in a liquor bottle. Message in a liquor bottle. A Victoria's Secret bra. Ah. A jar of marijuana. Ooh, how big of a jar? So people were doing marijuana. It is legal in New Jersey, so for commercial. Yeah, maybe they were doing marijuana. An inflatable hot tub. Wasn't mine, promise. Okay. A bedpan.
That one was definitely mine. I'm going to drop a dookie. Multiple uncooked hams. What? That's like it's always sunny. The rum ham. Which was great. They found a boat cabin door and last on the list was a bathroom sink. I used to go down, obviously now you guys are down all the time, but on Long Island you'd find tons of stuff on those beaches for some reason. There was just
And it was not uncommon to find parts of boats and stuff that had wrecked because the coastline is fairly tumultuous there. Yeah, Press, you know where that restaurant Segundo is, right? Yes. And then so across the street from that is like the Bumblebee Tuna Factory. Right there, there's a bridge and there's been this boat that has been washed ashore there.
For years. Really? Yeah, it just sits right there. Do you ever go check it out? No, but the one day I was riding my bike across the bridge. And by the way, they're building a sidewalk on those bridges now. But when I was riding my bike across the bridge, there was a guy sitting in the boat. It wasn't even floating. And he was fishing from the boat. Hey, hey, hey. You want to see my penis? Yes, I do.
My cousin's kids live in a beach town. Steve, they live in Point Lookout. And her daughter buried her son's sandals that she had just purchased for him at the start of the summer. And Jason and I were there and we lost them. We couldn't, we were digging in the sand. We could not find them. Oh, man. Weeks later, like well into the summer.
they went back to that same beach. It was a little kind of private beach. And they went back to the same beach and some woman said, oh, there's sandals over there. Were you guys looking for sandals? And she was like, no, but actually my son lost sandals here weeks ago. And she goes, well, my kid dug them up from the sand. Sure enough, they were his sandals. So there's weird stuff like that. Years and years and years ago, one of my favorite toys was a thing called Monster Magnet.
And it basically looked like a big muscular guy, and his arms went down to magnets. And you could take it and pick up pretty heavy stuff with this thing. Pretty powerful magnet? Pretty powerful magnet, but it was a toy. It was dumb. And of course, I thought, I got to bring this to the beach. Yeah, there we go. And so brought it to the beach, and Ash Roken, Kathy, one summer, in the water, I lost it.
A year later, I kid you not, found the goddamn thing in the water. Seriously. I swear. Your monster magnet. Now, I don't know if it was my monster magnet. But you found. But you would figure erosion. Now, it's not a big wave beach. So it's on the sound. So it could have been yours. It could have been. But I'm like, what are they on?
Yeah. What are the odds? Monster magnets. Were monster magnets a big toy at the time? I was an idiot. Okay. You can find tons of stuff if you look around long enough. Just to sum up the thing on your list there, Preston, was the last thing a kitchen sink? Yeah. Bathroom sink. All right. But that just washed up somewhere? I guess so. All right. Somebody dumped it. All right. One last thing. A quickie, if you don't mind.
Totally Prespo. All right, so White Lotus ended a little while back. The final episode came out. Started watching last night. There's a lot of chit-chat about it. It's pretty great. Yeah, yeah. The location's amazing. HBO is turning the White Lotus into a full-blown travel experience. Trademark filings reveal plans for Luxe,
show-themed vacations complete with guided tours and resort stays that mirror the series glamorous glamorous settings uh minus of course all the drama and murder yeah yeah we don't want that a premium 2026 jet tour hitting spots like maui italy and thailand is already in the works and um
If you want to go, it's going to cost you... What do you guys think? Something like that. Okay, for all of the locations? Are we talking for a couple? I don't know. Okay, so I'm going to say...
$30,000. Does it say how many nights? No. And it's just any one of those locations? I'm just going to spell it all out. Premium 2026 jet tour hitting spots like Maui, Italy, and Thailand is already in the works but ready to shell out $188,000. I had a coupon. I think all three locations are shot at four seasons. I know that the one in Thailand is and I know the one in Hawaii was.
The reason I know the Hawaii one is that there's a guy named Ben Shank, and I've been friends with his wife since we were kids. Ben ran the Four Seasons in Philadelphia, and then when they needed somebody to run the one in Maui, he...
They offered him that job. He and his whole family moved out there. So they run that one. And that's where they shot the first season of White Lotus. And since the popularity of this last season was, you know, it sort of became a thing unto itself. They hired Patrick Schwarzenegger, Arnold's son, to come and do a lot of promotion for them at that four seasons, the one in Maui. So Ben has become friendly with Patrick Schwarzenegger. Shut up! Yeah, because he's been there. But Preston, all three of those seasons...
did so well for the tourism in Thailand, in Maui, and in Sicily that this is a no-brainer. I'm sure people are going to sign up for this. So for you guys, of the three locations, what...
So the one was in Sicily, but I think they shot that on the Amali coast, didn't they? I thought it was in Sicily. You see the volcano in the background. That's the one I liked the most. Resort-wise, I thought that was the coolest. Thailand's rocking my world. It was too forest-y for me, the Thailand one. I kind of like that, that it's sort of situated in. Because I haven't been to many places like that. So, you know, I'm a real world traveler. But I understand it can be
really, really hot in Thailand. But they can turn that off. Yeah, they can. Okay. But anyhow, there's also White Lotus merch coming from Chic Towels to High End Luggage.
So you can live your best life. You can get your chic towel. Can I get a chic towel? Do they have a similar travel package for the Tiger King? They did shoot season two in Sicily, Italy, and it was mostly shot on the four seasons in Taormina. And there's a palace there as well. San Domenico Palace. Wow.
My friend has a family. The family has a little, I guess like a condo at a resort area, right? That they can visit and different family members will go at different times. And there's now like a family feud over the towels. Oh, get out. Yes. Because when you go down to the pool, there's towels there for you and they have your name embroidered on them. And like the, the, um,
Is this from Gary Lauer? No, but it was like the mom's husband, who's not the father, got his name embroidered on the towels. That could be in an episode of White Lotus. It's a big deal. Listen, we've got to close up shop. Bye, Presbo. I want to take a break. We're going to come back in a moment. We've got a couple of guests who are going to be joining us. One of them is Don Felder.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Kath. So there are a lot of big golf events that are going to be taking place in the Philadelphia region. One of them is taking place very, very soon at the Truist Championship.
at Philadelphia Cricket Club. I'm actually playing there today in a golf outing with the Devereaux Foundation, their golf classic. So that means the course is going to be prepped for people like Rory McIlroy to play golf, not Preston Elliott. Don't ruin it. I'm going to go and try anyhow. And I'm coming off an injury too, so I have a great excuse for playing terribly today, which is wonderful.
But there's another big, big, biggie next year. And in fact, it is a major championship in the world of golf. And it is the 2026 PGA Championship. It's going to be at Aronamick Golf Club. And we would like to welcome the director of the event. We have Ryan Ogle. How are you doing, Ryan? Nice to see you. I'm doing great. Thanks for having me. Excellent. No problem. You've been with PGA for how long? Uh.
This would be my 13th year. I've been running events for us for 10. And this is my third PGA championship to oversee. Really? Okay. Which other ones have you been the director of? Yeah, the 2021 PGA at Kewa Island. No winning in dramatic fashion there at the end against Brooke.
And then the 2024 PGA here at Behalda with Xavier winning his first, or excuse me, Xander winning his first major championship last year. As someone viewing, I'm fascinated by golf and golf culture. I do not play, but I love the whole environment. I love everything surrounding it. It is fascinating to go and walk the courses. And we do a lot of golf charity events.
Something like, I don't think a lot of people can wrap their minds around the extensive amount of prep work. So we're talking about how long it takes to make a Pixar movie. How long in advance of these tournaments does the beginning seed of planning occur? Yeah, absolutely. So we signed the agreement to come here in 2017.
I'd be lying if I said we started planning right then. Some initial conversations, initial ideas. Really planning in earnest for the 2026 PGA was August of 2023. I came with some other members of the team to Aronomic to look at the facilities, look at the property and try to identify our key big areas, our broadcast compound, seven acres, our merchandise tents, 50,000 square feet, size of football field. Where are we going to put those? And then we start laying out from there, hospitality,
because we got to go to market about two years out. The team kind of started being assembled at the end of 2023. I got on site the summer of 24 for here for about two years. So it's a two to three year process to plan one week. And so a lot of people are thinking, what are you doing here for two or three years? It's a big operation. You're building a stadium
in a neighborhood yeah yeah and the logistics the operation the scale of what we have to bring in from temporary flooring and seating it's quite all right so i have a geeky golf question for you i know you obviously have to plan all of that footprint uh to make that happen but what about preparing the golf course of conditions itself is that up to the setup to the superintendents is that up to the golf course itself or does the pga come in and say all right we got to bring that rough in three feet this way and we need to grow this out we need to do blah blah blah all that
I would say it's a very collaborative effort. At the end of the day, our chief championship officer, Kerry Haig, he's been doing this for over 30 years. As a matter of fact, when they brought golf back to the Olympics, they could pick anyone in the world to do course setup. They picked Kerry. They picked him? He's the best. And he has ultimate kind of oversight and direction of course setup, green speeds, rough height, pinching fairways, but it's very much in collaboration with the superintendent. He's a subject matter expert, right? And so they collaborate on the best things to do to test the players, but we're very...
what's important to us, tough but fair set up. We want to set it up, get out of the way, let the players do what they do. Ryan, in all of your years in your career with the PGA, have you ever confused Scotty Scheffler and Xander Schuffle because I do all the time. It's funny that you say that. I had an interesting experience with Scotty at Valhalla. Some of you might have heard about it. Do tell. Do tell.
Wait, you didn't hear about Scotty at Pahala? I don't remember. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh, is that when the accident was? When he got arrested? Yeah. Oh, you were involved in that? Well, it was my event. I was overseeing it. Oh, okay. So let's just say I had Xander won the event. Was he covering for you? Scotty had an interesting experience. You could say I got to know a lot about both of them. Scotty was the fall guy and all of that? It was actually your fault? Yeah. I don't know if you could have... You know, it's unfortunate what happened. I don't know if you could pick...
a better person because the way he handled it was class act. Yeah, no. Well, when that occurred and these guys were asking me questions, I'm like, the dude didn't do anything. He is like, he's almost a saint. He's like almost, he's like the nicest guy in the world. He's exactly what you expect. Yeah. Yeah. So it was a misunderstanding. So it was you and he was covered. It was you, Ryan. It was covered. I don't care how you get in. You drive however. That's the kind of guy he is. Takes a bullet for Ryan. Um, so,
So, yeah, obviously we've got some time. It's a year and change away before the event. But when are ticket sales? When does all this stuff start happening? Yeah, absolutely. You know, with a major championship, the demand that we see is quite drastic. Nothing against all the other tour events, but a major does create a different level of excitement.
So we have a different model. We are in our ticket registration phase. So basically to make it as fair as possible, given the demand that we're seeing, we encourage people. It's a free, no obligation registration process through our website. Sign up the earlier, sign up the earlier opportunity. You have to buy tickets.
That will close at the end of May, and we will give those people that signed up a chance to buy. From that private sale, we tend to sell out of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the most in-demand days. Yeah, no doubt. So we're trying to get everyone excited. Hey, go register. It's a free, no-obligation process. It takes about 15 seconds. We're doing that now. We're about to recruit 3,200 volunteers. That will start in a few weeks.
So now is the time to get involved if you want to be there next May. That's what I was curious about volunteers. My buddy, Matt O'Donnell, works over 6 ABC. And I remember when the last event at Ironman came around. It was a BMW-sponsored event? Yeah, 2018. And so I went to the event and watched it. But he was volunteering and doing some work there. And I'm like, that might be kind of...
fun to do. Sure. Do you have room for Preston? We have people that travel across the nation to volunteer at multiple events, including ours. I mean, it's a dedicated, passionate group of people, both locally, but beyond.
A lot of people come in and visit. I wanted to ask you because this is such a, Preston talks so glowingly about all the courses in the area and we have a wonderful golf atmosphere and people travel from great distances to be a part and play the courses here. But yet it seemed to me, to my casual observer eye, that it is passed over often as an area for a lot of this activity. Is that changing? And what do you think has been the mitigating issue to this point?
Yeah, you know, our event, the PGA Championship hasn't been here since 1962. A major championship hasn't been here since 2013 and it's not a regular tour stop. Why is that? Philly is a great golf area. Great golf courses, great golf fans, very passionate. A big market. Yeah.
It's hard to speculate. I think the one thing that would help is if you had a large corporate sponsor that wanted to bring a regular tour event here. A lot of times you see, say it's FedEx's event that's in Memphis, which is tied to their headquarters. Could you find a big sponsor that wants to bring an annual tour event?
I think for the rotating majors, the only challenge is there are only two. It's the U.S. Open and it's the PGA Championship. They go across the country, so they can only be here every 10 years. I know after us, 2030, Marion will have another U.S. Open, which is great, and then I think 2040.
It needs more golf. It deserves more golf. And I think it's showing why with the Truist Championship. And then they'll show why next year for our event when they show up and show out. Okay. I went to the BMW one as well at Aronavink a few years ago. And I remember we parked all the way out at Oaks. And they have like shuttles. How difficult is... I mean, like there are so many different parts of the operation. But like literally parking, getting people to the venue, you know, all these intricacies and planning. I'm sure you're working on that already as well. Yeah. You know, I'd say...
There's a few big challenges in it everywhere we go. And some of them are the same. Some of them are different. This one is definitely parking is going to be one of the biggest challenges. There's not a big lot. I wish we were closer to the stadiums. Can you use Manifest Destiny to take control of homes, blacktop them, and then just turn them into parking? Nick, I'll tell you what I did for that same thing. No, it was the AT&T one. It was at Aronamink.
I was like, I'm not driving Oaks. I had a scooter. I had a Vespa at the time. And there was a house that was like kind of under construction. And I rode my scooter into this thing and I parked it behind a dumpster. And I was right across the street from one of them. You're probably looking for dumpsters. I'm looking for scooters now. How many jobs are created as a result of you guys coming to town? Yeah, from a temporary setting of people that didn't work for the PGA or our vendors, there's about a thousand temporary jobs that are created around the build process.
the week of and the teardown. We bring in hundreds of vendors for multiple months at a time. You know, look at the economic impact. It's going to see exceed $125 million. Gotta love that. Direct, indirect and induced spending generate over $10 million in taxes at the local and state level. I mean, the impact is great. Plus the exposure from a global broadcast, right? You know, it's putting a spotlight on the area, on the region.
We're assuming the bulk of that $125 million will be advertising on Preston and Steve's show. I'm sure you've already seen the bump, right? Yeah, absolutely. No, but as we've learned in 2013, all these events that take place surrounding it, there are parties that take place, corporate events that are happening in and around the area. I assume we're looking for Justin Rose to win this one. He's become a local fave. He won at...
at, uh, Aronamick in 2018. Uh, that was the BMW, uh, event. He won that, He won AT&T, I think in 2011. Okay. Uh, and then he won the, he won the Open at Marion as well and damn near won the Masters just a few weeks ago. So, and I think he's a member now at Marion, so he definitely has ties to the area and yeah, he'd be a great champion. Oh,
Oh, my gosh. And next year in Philadelphia, it's just going to be so great because we get the all-star game for Major League Baseball. We get the World Cup is coming to town and then this. So how much coordination has to be done between the three events? Because they're massive on a, you know, really on a global scale. Yeah, absolutely. We've had great collaboration so far at a very high level.
with Meg Kane and her team at Philadelphia Soccer 2026 with the Phillies and the MLB All-Star game. There's also the first round, I think, of the men's March Madness is taking place before us. You've got the NFL draft in Pittsburgh. That kind of talks about the calendar of Pennsylvania, but then we're hyper-focused, of course, in Philadelphia.
Great collaboration. I think there's more opportunity, which we're starting that process. We want this to be a celebration of 250, celebration of Philly, and all of these events at a unique angle, right? You know, your soccer diehard fan is a little different than your diehard golfer. Yes. So it's kind of sprinkling a little bit for everyone, and we're excited to be a part of that, a rotating major. What a great year to pick Philly. So obviously you have, it was their...
Preston, I think if it's not his family and the job, it's golf that's in his mind all the time. You have your, you know, your acolytes. How aggressive and how much of a concern is it for the PGA to be soliciting new fans and developing a new fan base? Absolutely. I mean, I think it's imperative for golf in general, right? And the great thing we're seeing is there's more younger golfers. The second fastest growing sport at a youth level is golf right behind tennis. Oh.
You're seeing more women and people of color get in the golf. Women now make up 28%, which we have more room to go, but that's nearly doubled in the past five, six years. People of color make up about 23%. It's important that the game of golf picks that up. And then our spectator events are kind of the first experience with a lot of them. They come to a golf event like, wow, this seems cool. Let me go try to pick up a golf club. We really try to lean into the non-golf fan experience. So our tickets, what's really unique, all of our tickets are food and non-alcoholic beverage inclusive.
So when you buy a ticket and show up to the course, you walk to a concession, you grab something, walk out, you don't pay. It's all part of the ticket. And what we've seen is this has increased our customer experience, our operations, but it's created a new kind of twist on the event where people come for the whole experience, not just the golf. And it's been extremely value-added of course.
to our guests. That's very smart. And to promote the sport to youth, there's groups like First Tee and things like that that you can search out and find ways to make it a little more. I mean, golf is not a cheap sport to get into. That's part of the hurdle that people jump over learning it. Yeah, there's great programs like Youth On Course that partner with clubs and offer $5 green fees for juniors that are part of the program. The First Tee is incredible. We have our PGA Junior League Golf, which is
Little League Golf. So you get jerseys with numbers. You play on a team. That's awesome. That's growing tremendously across the country. So finding new ways, new avenues to get youth in, different people that maybe don't get exposure. It's literally T-Ball. Yeah, exactly. Off course golf is growing. You know, your top golf, your simulators. Yeah.
And there's actually more people playing non-greengrass golf is what we call it. But that's a great path to greengrass golf. Non-greengrass golf is what, like simulators, launch monitors and stuff like that? Technical jargon word, yeah. I wasn't familiar. Greengrass and non-greengrass. Interesting. So, Ryan, you're going to give us some tickets to give away, right? Yeah, you know it. Okay, so we're not going to give them away right now. These are pretty awesome. So what type of a ticket will you give us that we can eventually give away?
Yeah, I think we're going to give you the most sought after day. That's Sunday of the championship. So when a champion is crowned, two tickets. They include your food and non-alcoholic beverage course wide. So you come out, enjoy the golf, enjoy the food, enjoy the fellowship and have a great time at a great property. We have to put a glow on this. Yeah, we will give those away. We don't want to just say, hey, 10th caller. I don't really like the sport, but I like to eat. We're going to.
that guy yeah congratulations sir i hope you have a good time uh but we will we will give them out in the near future but uh if people want to find out all things about um the pga championship and and you know and all and these other programs that we mentioned too does the pga website have information like that yeah to pgachampionship.com forward slash 2026 gonna be your best bet

I know it's a year off, but you got to make your plans now. These things are big, big events. Hell, they've been on it since 2017. Yeah. We'll talk to you between now and then, I'm sure, Ryan. I hope so. Thank you. Appreciate it. Ryan Ogle, guys.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Kath. We have a guest joining us in just a couple minutes. We're going to have Don Felder. Oh, my God. I didn't even know it. Don Felder. Wow. Okay. I'm surprised. Sorry about that. Let me play a little clip of some new music from Mr. Felder before we talk to him. This is called Free at Last, and I'll tell you about the album. Hey. Hey.
So the songs on this new album are actually from 50 years of demos that he has re-recorded and it's called The Vault, 50 Years of Music. It's coming out on May 23rd. Now I can officially welcome Mr. Don Felder. Yay!
Hey, Don, how you doing? It's good to see you. I'm sure you don't remember because you've done tons of interviews, but you stopped by and paid a visit with us in our studio years and years ago. And it was just a cool moment because we've been fans of yours for so long. So thanks for coming on again this morning. It's good to see you. I'd like to stop by next time we're out on the road in your territory, too, and pop in in the morning if I can.
Get enough sleep and get down there. You guys must be pretty early in the morning to be up and out on radio. It's not really rock star time. I'd love to come by. Yes, absolutely. We will hold you to that. I got to tell you, Don, I'm so thrilled right now as a father because it was around that age where I discovered your music and the Eagles and became slightly obsessed with a lot of your songs.
I thought Greatest Hits Volume 2 was far superior to Greatest Hits Volume 1. But my son is now discovering your music, and it just brings me such joy because he's actually being turned on to it by his friends. It's not like, oh, dad's music. No, it's his friend's music, which is really cool.
Well, my dad's music was Lawrence Welk and Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. That's fine. So there was no way I was going to become a violinist or play a flute or something like that. Versus Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and all the rock and roll that was going on back in the 50s. Hey, Don, reading about the album, about 50 years, you know, The Vault, and the fact that they've held on to demos.
In the world of a musician and somebody who has played as long as you have, keeping all of these unfinished projects or demos, how does one go about cataloging, hanging on to that stuff? Make sure you're not losing that one little thing that might be an inspiration to write a great song. It's got to be difficult.
That's exactly what it was. As a matter of fact, I lived out in Malibu for 29 years, went through five huge forest fires. And after the fifth one, I said, OK, that's enough. I'm moving into Beverly Hills. I'm getting out of this fire zone. So I packed up my recording studio, all my two inch tapes, my quarter inch tapes, my cassettes, my dance, all that stuff just went into boxes. And I put my console, my tape machines in storage in 2000.
About four or five years ago, I went, I don't even remember what I had in that storage. Let's go take a look. So I walked in and there's all these tapes and boxes full of cassettes and ideas. And I went, oh, my God, I got to take some of these to my new studio and listen to them. So we set it up and transferred all the cassettes, all the ADATs, all the CDs that I had.
saved in that cardboard box configuration and as they were going by I went that was a great idea I had been playing keyboard on this one song or the first track on this album Move On was the first demo I made for the Eagles I'd completely forgotten about it it was me playing slide guitar and I went
wow, I got to listen to all these things. So I started listening to them and they were just a bunch of, you know, sketches. They're like thumbnail sketches, you know, where somebody goes, I'm going to paint something. Let me do a quick thumbnail of the idea. But as I started listening to them, some of the ideas were really good. I'm going to finish these. None of them had lyrics, no melody, just music beds. That's fantastic.
When I joined the Eagles, Bernie Lennon told me, if you want to write songs for the Eagles, just write music bits in song structure, like intro, verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, chorus, solo, out, right? So that's how most of those cassettes were.
And one of them actually became heavy metal, to tell you the truth. I got that call to how I was going to do something. I went, well, I wrote this idea for the Eagles for the long run. It was a follow up to Hotel California that Joe and I could play rock and roll guitar again together. We just never had time to finish it. So when I got that call to write something for a heavy metal soundtrack, I went, wait
wait a minute, I've got a really good idea that I did before. I'll just be me and Joe. And so I played all the guitar parts on it. But it would have been fun to do that with Joe. No, it's great. I love this idea. A number of artists have started to revisit some of their stuff. Some of the artists we've talked to over the years say, no, if it didn't make the cut initially, it's in the closet and that's where it stays. But revisiting, being able to breathe new life into it,
It is very cool. I wonder if is it akin to looking to it through a photo album over the course of those decades for you to see where you were mentally or, you know, are you surprised at what decades ago Don Felder was musically being excited by?
I was the same guy. I was just a little wet behind the ears about recording production and techniques, not musical ideas, but just the one thing I had learned to do when I was in a jazz fusion rock band in New York City was improvise. So a lot of these things that I make up just happen on the moment.
And I have to record and catch them somewhere on an iPhone or in my studio or something, or they're just gone because they just flash through. You know, it's like jazz. When I listened back to those, I went, that was a moment of inspiration. That was a nice idea. So I went ahead and finished writing lyrics, rebuilt the whole track, ground up. Some of them were in different keys than I would sing in. So I had to reconfigure those ideas to me here now in 2024, 2025.
Don, it's so interesting that you described yourself as improvisational like that because I've always viewed you as very, that you play with such intent. Your guitar solos seem very structured. Do they end up that way? Do they start off improvised and then end up with intention? Because I've always thought that you just like, Don is playing every note he wants to play. That's always how I've viewed you as a guitarist.
That's great because I really favor horn players. They're phrasing. They can't play a million notes a minute. They can't shred. I saw Miles Davis when I was 18, and he said more in the first three notes that he played than somebody can play in a thousand notes. It's the notes and timing and choose the way you phrase that's important. Like the solo for one of these nights,
When I heard that track, it's an R&B track. I wrote the bass part to it and all that stuff. But when I was sitting down to write a solo, I thought about Dave Sandberg. What would Dave play on Alto Sac? Hmm.
It's a sax solo. So I literally wrote a sax solo on guitar. And that's one of the things that makes it so unique. And it's melodic. And yet you can remember it as simple enough to remember and sing it. I love this because I am glad I can tell you this because over the past couple of months, again, I'm always taking dives into Eagles territory in your music. I,
I can't tell you why. It's a song that I just adore. But your solo, your playing in that is what I'm drawn to. And the video, I love seeing you. To Preston's point, I wanted to ask sort of the same question because everything fits perfectly. And I'm like, in the moment of the session, because it seems to be a video recorded at the recording of the music, is that all what you're feeling or...
Hey, could you do this? Could you do it this way? Could we get this? How did that work out? I'm sorry for being so nuts and bolts about it, but fascinated by the process.
I think the best answer for that question is the improvisation I did on the beginning of Hotel California for the album we did when we got back together. We were on the soundstage. We had an orchestra behind us. We had 48 track recording trucks and about 20 video cameras. And just at the end of soundcheck, Henley says, this song needs a special introduction.
I said, well, what are you going to say? I thought he was going to talk about the way it came about or it being in California and it was taped in California. He said, no, no, no, make up something. So I went, okay, you guys play this chord, I'll diddle. Then you play this chord, I'll diddle around a little bit. You play this chord and I'll diddle and I'll just make it up. So we shot two shows and both times I just...
made up something on the spot i hope i'm funny it's like a comedian walking out making up something live right and uh it actually i think is was the only record that was recorded by the same band the same song that was nominated for grammys twice and it was because of that second arrangement and it was the introduction to it was just made up on the spot that's amazing
That's what I like to do is just make up things. Yeah. Wow. Sometimes it works and if it doesn't work, it goes to digital heaven. Erase. Bye-bye. Digital heaven. Erase. That's a good album. Digital heaven. I love it. Don,
the album The Vault 50 Years of Music you have stacked the deck with some serious musicians here taking a look at the list of people I'm a drummer so immediately I saw Greg Bissonnette Brian Titchy and Todd Suckerman these are some of the best guys in the business but you went above and beyond who else is on this record?
Jim Keltner. I've known all these guys for a long, long time. I know exactly how they play. Greg Chillinghain is playing keyboard on some stuff. David Page from Toto playing some stuff. Luke from Toto came in and played a guitar part on stuff. I know these guys really well. Nathan Ease, Greg Bissonette, Matt Bissonette. So when I'm...
When I'm casting the band for the basic track, I have to know how these guys play. Like the guy, Chad Cromwell, who played drums on the remake of Heavy Metal, is probably one of the best session players I've ever run across in my life. He came into my studio, made three takes, top to bottom, nonstop. Everyone was absolutely magical and perfect.
It was like I've never had somebody come in that strong and that prepared and just sound the way you want it to sound from the get-go. So it's important that you cast the right players, play on the right song. And like you said, Todd Shukerman is one of my favorite drummers. He's got such energy and power when he plays that that song, I Like the Things You Do, is the perfect song for him. Jim Keltner played on that.
really slow halftime ballad, Let Me Down Easy. Perfect casting for that. So it's the right person for the right track, really, is what it comes down to. I'm happy you got in and you refound this stuff and you're putting it out into the world. It's going to be available on May 23rd, and you can preorder it now at DonFelder.com. And absolutely, Don, yeah, if you're back in Philly, please come by and visit us if we're not too up early for you, all right? Yeah.
We absolutely will. Promise. I appreciate it. Don Felder, guys. Take care of yourself. We'll see you. If you're not up too early. Not too up early. That's what I meant to say when I said that. I'm going to recount a story.
That he told us last time he was here because it was so great. It is great. In that famous video footage that if you go on YouTube and you search for the Eagles playing Hotel California live. And I believe it was filmed here in Philadelphia. And it was back in the 1970s. It was when the song was pretty much a fresh hit. And he and Joe are playing that famous harmony guitar solo together. And they're going back and forth and...
And Don says something to Joe, and they both kind of laugh. And you can't, I can't figure out what he's saying by watching his mouth, but they shared some kind of a funny moment. And I mentioned it to Don, and he goes, yeah, I think I remember what that was. He said, I leaned into Joe, and I said, you're showing. And we were like, well, what does that mean? He's like, well, back in the day, from time to time, it shows. Yeah.
We do a little cocaine in between songs. And he was telling Joe he had a little coke hanging out of his nostril. And he's like, you're showing... And they were laughing about it. That's what he said. I have no doubt that's the case. I'm sure that is the story. Yeah, no, that's absolutely cool. Yeah, I mean, man...
Again, how many times have you watched the Eagles documentary? It's got to be 30 times for me. So good. It's so good and you get a real, it's full of all the drama that surrounds a band as complex and as amazing as this. All the stories, Nick, often we talk about Fleetwood Mac. It's the same thing where they have just that kind of
that collective and then those lists of stories. But when they're playing, I mean, I can't tell you why in that song, he's playing and you brought up a great salient point because it's like...
This is so perfect. I mean, he's saying as much with the solo as the lyrics are. Yeah, he picked all the right notes to play. It's so cool. And you know what, Steve? I don't know if you remember, but I think it was, you know, you talked about the complexity of the band. I think it was Bill Hader did like a parody of,
on the Eagles where they were this tender, folky ballad group, but they were all alpha males trying to kill each other. Offstage, they just hated each other and it was all battle for power. But when they were singing, ah,
I can't tell you why. And that's what the Eagles were, man. Yeah, but in those moments when you see them really vibing, like they're sitting in the back of a limo and they're sharing a laugh and so on and so forth, it's like, it's funny to say, you know, you talk about when you're George Harrison and you're, you know, the third most talented. Yeah.
Look at the draw, dude. You're a Herculean talent in any other way. But, I mean, yeah, it's just what happens. I saw the Eagles at the Wells Fargo Center a few years ago when they did the Hotel California tour. And the current lineup, I think, is Henley, Timothy B. Schmidt, Joe Walsh, and Vince Gill. I don't think Deacon Fry was on that one. But anyway, it was really good. And sometimes when I go to these shows of established acts or acts that have been around for a while, I'm nervous that it's going to be a tribute act to them for them.
former selves. And it wasn't. It was a really great show. And Joe Walsh was hilarious and fun and funny. And the video displays that they had for all the Hotel California stuff in the background was really, really cool. And it was just, it was the whole record. It was the beginning to end of Hotel California. It was awesome. And Nick Donfell was telling a story about going to the, I guess, the United Nations or some sort of international music day or so on and so forth. And he has members from, of course, all different countries. And so they ask him to play some stuff. He starts playing
California. And he said...
like countries, you know, representatives, they all become locked. They all knew that riff. They all knew that song. That's an ecumenical response to something that, you know, he just cranked out, you know, as you said, just diddling. He created a common language. So cool. All right. I got some Bizarre File stories, so we're going to get to those. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File.
Brought to you this morning by... You okay? Just stretching. Okay. Casey fell over. I thought he was slumped over. My lower back is bothering me. Brought to you by Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting Research Department, seeking volunteers for an alopecia areta clinical trial. Areta? Alopecia? Be cool, have areta.
Alopecia. Legal. Arita Clinical Trial. Anyway. I think it's just the clinical name for alopecia. Adults and kids 12 and older with 50% or more scalp hair loss are eligible. And you can learn more at PlymouthMeetingDermatology.com. It's a good opportunity. So, one sip of milk has a teen in Volusia County, Florida in big trouble. Deputies say that he's accused of...
Poisoning his adoptive mother's milk with bleach. Whoa! Yeah, deputies say they arrested a 17-year-old boy after his 77-year-old mother poured a glass of milk in the refrigerator, took a sip, and had an intense chemical taste. Here, drink this. He was arrested at the house on multiple felony charges. A deputy examined the milk and confirmed it had a strong odor of bleach. Time for cookies and milk.
Investigators say that the woman's other son is the one who called 911. Investigators say the teen told them that he was aware the bleach could hurt someone and had intended for the bleach to make his mother sick.
Deputies say the 17-year-old admitted to the crime, saying he was upset with his mom and didn't want to live with her. Okay, so I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Is there anything on the container that expressly says you can't mix it with milk? It may not be, Steve. Just saying. He was arrested on felony charges of poisoning food or water, attempted felony murder, and aggravated abuse of an elderly person. The mom did not report any immediate symptoms but wanted a medical evaluation.
One of Ohio's most fearsome creatures, an annoyed wild goose, faced off with a tiger at the Columbia Zoo and Aquarium, a recent viral video posted on TikTok has shown. In the video, a seven-year-old female Amur tiger named Vera appeared.
Enough of this crap.
You want a piece of me? Vera took a paw. The goose, meanwhile, retracts its wings and remained in the enclosure. It's not unusual for native wildlife like birds, squirrels, and chipmunks to find their way into the Columbus Zoo's open air habitats. Yeah, it's going to happen. Earlier this year, one of the zoo's brown bears caught a duck. Mm-hmm.
That didn't turn out so well. No. When native wildlife enters an enclosure, Columbus zookeepers use emergency recall techniques to call the animals inside to prevent native wildlife from visiting in the first place. The zoo patches possible entry points and employs humane trapping and herding dogs as well. It looks like the tiger's just kind of playing with it. Yeah, because clearly...
Yeah, we know that. Yeah, quite possibly. Might be toying with him. All right, we have time for one more and then we've got to wrap this up. Okay.
A 27-year-old university student who climbed Mount Fuji outside of its official climbing season was rescued twice in four days because he went back to look for his cell phone. Come on, man. They say it's really dangerous if you go outside of the season. Yep. The Chinese student who lives in Japan was first rescued by helicopter on Tuesday while on the Fuji-Moiya Trail, which sits about 9,800 feet above sea level.
He was able to ascend the trail after he lost his crampons, which are those things you put on your shoes to give you traction. But days later, he returned to the mountain to retrieve belongings he left behind, including his phone. He was rescued again on Saturday. This time, he had altitude sickness, but he's now out of danger. Due to harsh conditions, people are discouraged from climbing Mount Fuji outside of the official climbing season. We cannot.
achieve much with so small penis. That could be the issue. That starts in early July and ends in early September. All trails leading to Mount Fuji summit are closed at this time. Post by some criticized man for ignoring the safety advice
against climbing at this time, saying that he should be made to pay for both of those rescue efforts. Putting other people at risk. Yep, and that is what I have in the Bazaar file for you. It's 10 o'clock. We can do it. 93.3 WMMR Philadelphia. Shut the fuck up. It's time for a Preston and Steve's 20-Money Keyword. There you go. Mark Summers. All right, the keyword is referee.

And she also thanked her fans for their support. She's been eligible since 2009, and it was her second time appearing on the ballot after previously being nominated in 2023. So I'm very happy for her. I've always liked her. She's a super talent. Yep.
After rocking two sold-out shows at Toronto's Rogers Centre on April 24th and 26th, Metallica decided to spread the love around as they tend to do. And the band made a generous $40,000 donation to the city's Daily Bread Food Bank through their All Within My Hands Foundation. Oh, nice. Neil Hetherington, the CEO of the group, expressed gratitude for the band's support, noting that the funds will help provide approximately 40,000 meals to those in need.
And this is the first time that Metallica has supported Daily Bread. They previously donated proceeds from a surprise show at the Opera House in 2016. And then, finally, just one other quick thing. Sorry for such a short...

We'll get the real feel for them coming up on May 10th, as well as all the other bands and events and things that we have planned for us and for you. Today, our program coming to a close. Good time today. I want to thank our guests for being on the show and mention again that the Philadelphia Take Steps Crohn's and Colitis Walk is coming up.

Friday, May 9th, the day before the MMRBQ. It's an evening event. Citizens Bank Park is a great event. Live music, contest games, lots of stuff for kids, and a firework show that night as well.

Congratulations. Thank you to Ryan Ogle as well. He was the director of the 2026 PGA Championship, which will be at Aronamick Golf Club next year. And he gave us tickets for the final day of the match. That is the money shot. Wow. And I mean, we're talking a PGA Championship. It's a major event. And so we will give those away. We're going to we might do like word of the week or something like that. It has to be. It has to be. It has to go to someone who is into the game. Yep.
So we got that. And thank you to Ryan. And you can get tickets, by the way, pgachampionship.com slash 2026. You can also volunteer as well. And it was a great conversation we had with Don Felder. Yay!
He's got an album out. It's called The Vault, 50 Years of Music, coming out on May 23rd. And super nice guy, lots of stories to tell. Yes. And he's written some amazing songs over the years, so it's cool. Pierre Robert is here this morning. Good day. Nice to see you. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. MMR, absolutely. Yes, it's our birthday today. And I thought we would start our little conversation by acknowledging young Ryan here.
who, while I was on vacation, created something very cool. Do you have the two pieces, Casey? I do, I do. Which number do you want me to start with? 20, is it 22? 22. So, in, God,
Mid-90s, early 90s, our program director at the time, a guy named George Harris, had this idea of trying to recreate some of those vintage station IDs. And so he encouraged the staff to go in with any ideas they had and that Lush would help them produce an ID. So Cindy Drew, who hosted our local music show, Street Beat, and was incredibly talented, had a brilliant idea.
And she came up with songs from 1 to 21. Let's hear that. All right. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. It's been a long time.
22 years of rock and roll in Philadelphia. 93.3 WMMR.
I just love that. That's really, really cool. So right before I was going away a week ago, and Ryan was going to be here during the week, I said, I have this fantasy that I'd love to complete that and take that up to 57. Now it's impossible. There's not between, you know, 22. Is there 43 in there somewhere? 24, 27, 28, 29. Well, we usually did the song 43, which is great.
I'm joking. Well, and so I came back and he said, I just want to play you a little something I created while you were gone. And he took Cindy's piece and added to it, if we could. All right. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
15, 18, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 20, 30, 32, 33, 34,
There was 43. 50. 51. 52. 51. 50!
And the class of 57 had its dreams. We all thought we'd change the world.
Wow, impressive, Ryan Shumlin! Happy birthday to all of us. Amazing! How long did it take you to do that? That was a full day and I'm still counting the brain cells I lost. It was beautiful though. Like the first thing I heard was Taylor Swift, 22. I was like, okay, we're going outside of MMR here for a moment. It's all music and we've gone outside of MMR a million times.
That's why we are not a hard rock station, as some would define us. We are everything. Active rock. And rolls. Yeah. No, I hate that effing phrase, active rock. It's nonsense. If we were an active rock station, we wouldn't do an A to Z that has...
You know, Jimmy Buffett and... I think what Steve means by the term, it's not the industry term, active rock. I think he means that we play current rock music. We are not a classic rock radio station. That's what he means by active rock. Okay, I stand corrected. I'm sorry, I didn't... But I mean, in the industry, I was under the impression active rock...
It's a hard rock presentation. No, active rock means you're playing currents and you also have, you can fold. Well, the industry term did lend itself to harder rock radio stations. Yes, active rock term, yes. Well, as I've said many times and you've heard that break 35 times.
One time when... Never mind. I heard that break 17 million times. But we aren't just hard rock or classic rock, but we do have elements of all that, of new rock and of old rock and of way outside the box stuff.
You know, listen to Jackie Bam Bam on Friday nights. You'll hear, you know, Willie Nelson and Pantera. And, I mean, music doesn't define itself by those boundaries. And this radio station never has. And I think it's one of its great strengths. Again, I bring you to the A to Z, which we do in the fall with, you know, almost two weeks of songs that are so far outside the box. And yet they're part of MMR's character and part of MMR's history. So...
That's my case to be made. Great work, Ryan. That was very impressive. We'll hear that again later, right? You will hear it several times. I love it. Until you can't stand it anymore. You don't do that on your show. I don't know what I do anymore. It's hard to keep track. It is really hard to keep track of my mind. Cool. All right.
Letter? Yeah. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. Ryan the Preston and Steve's show variety today by The Letter. What is it, Ryan? L as in lively. There you go. Beautiful. All right. So we're going to give away our Word of the Week prize on Friday. It's a Palhanna tiki boat cruise for the summer. Up to 16 people. You can set sail with Palhanna in Ocean City, New Jersey. The only Caribbean tiki boat experience in New Jersey.
You bring the drinks and the food and they'll captain your boat and you can book your tropical getaway, bachelorette party, daytime or sunset cruise today at njtiki.com. Before we find out what you have going on, Pierre, I failed to mention that we have a winner for Tattoos Day today. And I need to award that. And... Joseph Luna. Yay!
Of Sicklerville, New Jersey is the winner of a $350 gift certificate for Floating World Tattoo and Piercing to create a presidency show themed tattoo. FloatingWorldTattoos.com. Check them out today. So congratulations to you, Joseph. All right. What's up today, man? Well, we will celebrate the birthday. I thought it would be fun to flashback to those great vintage IDs that we have.
And we have, I don't know, 30, 40, 50 of them. And people have their favorites over the years. So I thought we would insert a lot of those. We have an interview I did with a late-grade MMR alumni, Gene Shea, several years ago, talking about how he made many of those IDs.
And I thought we would string that along with some cool music and some fun stories. So give or take around noon, we'll start that celebration. Plus, we've got the money word at noon. Plus, we have a four-pack of the Mammoth Wolfgang Van Halen thing to give away. So it'll be a fun day. Pierre presents. All right, thank you, Pierre. And I want to thank our sponsors. The President's Teacher brought to you today by Dunkin'. The President's Teacher runs on Dunkin'. Also brought to you by Acme Markets, fresh foods, local flavors.
