Good morning, it's... Good morning, it's...

Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. I think you're sleeping. Housekeeping, you want towels? Towels need sleepy. Housekeeping, you want me for pillow? Please go away. Let me sleep for the love of God.

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

And it begins. Welcome. Monday has indeed arrived and with it, lousy weather.

Yeah, yeah, it's actually the next few days we do have some rain on the way. We've had a little bit of a taste over the weekend. Today's high, about 70 degrees, clouds, a few showers off and on, depending on where and when you are will depend on how much rain you will see. So take a closer look, if you will, please.

at your own forecast. So tomorrow, 74, some afternoon thunderstorms expected. Wednesday, we kind of switch gears a little bit. Morning clouds, afternoon sun, and the high 75. And then Thursday, another chance of showers, and that continues into Friday as well. So it's off and on.

We're going to take a look at traffic, see what's up so far this morning. Kathy, what you got for us? 95 southbound slowing at the Betsy Ross Bridge. That's because of an accident. There was an accident on the Schuylkill. That's been cleared. The accident on Route 1 at Astor Valley Road out in Bucks County. That's cleared as well. No problems in New Jersey. 295, 42, and 55 looking good. Bridges also look good in mass transit on time. This traffic report brought to you by the 2025 FIFA Conference.

Club World Cup. It's coming to Philadelphia. Get ready for a global soccer showdown at Lincoln Financial Field. Don't just watch history. Be there. Get tickets at FIFA.com slash tickets. And that's your traffic on 93.3 WMMR. Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano. And today is Monday, the 5th of May. Cinco de Mayo. Good morning, Kathy. Hi.

Oh my God. Margarita time. How the hell did that happen? It just made my day so much better. The trial in news this morning, the trial for Sean Diddy Combs who once presided like a prince over his white parties in the Hamptons attracting A-list celebrities, gossip columnists and photographers begins today. Prosecutors will cast the entertainer as a

criminal sexual deviant who exploited his fame to abuse women at gatherings held far out of public view for over two decades prosecutors allege the bad boy records founder used the power used his power and prestige he'd gained in building a hip-hop empire to destroy young lives he faces an indictment that includes descriptions of freak-offs drugged up orgies in which women were forced to have sex with male sex workers while combs filmed them yeah um

Listen, you have to go through the whole trial process to find out whether or not somebody's guilty. But I'm telling you, I never liked that guy. You never liked him? I never liked him, man. I'm telling you. And I think my... I bet you know why. Why? Because he always had this pompous demeanor.

That and there was something when Biggie died and they did that every breath I take. I was like, that is so disingenuous. You're ripping off of somebody else's song. All of that. I was like, this guy's just...

I didn't like him. I actually, you know. Well, you're not going to be a witness for them then, I guess. I'm not. You're not going to be a character witness for Diddy. Yeah. But, I mean, you can have a feeling about somebody and, like, yours was right. Yeah. Could be. Could be. We'll see, right? Yeah, after the trial. We'll see. Or he could be another Tom Hanks and we just don't know.

Numerous witnesses have come forward to accuse Combs of terrorizing people into silence by choking, hitting, kicking, and dragging them, often by the hair, prosecutors say. Yeah, they show that footage in the hallway where he's kicking the crap out of his ex-girlfriend. I don't know if they've been cleared to do that, but that's...

Incredibly damning. Once the indictment alleges he even dangled someone from a balcony, Combs' lawyers contend prosecutors are trying to police consensual sexual activity. And while 55-year-old Combs acknowledged one episode of violence, the caught-on-camera beating his girlfriend, the one you're talking about, Steve R&B singer Cassie, his lawyers say other allegations are false. So Suge Knight is suing him for dangling someone from the balcony because that was his thing. Yeah. He had that trademark.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin today at a federal courthouse in Manhattan. Testimony will likely start next week. If convicted on all charges, which include racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting people across state lines to engage in prostitution, Combs faces a possible sentence of decades in prison. Although dozens of men and women have alleged in lawsuits that

comb abused them this trial will highlight the claims of four women one of them is cassie who filed a lawsuit in late 2023 saying combs had subject her to years of abuse including beatings and rape after they met in 2005 prosecutors plan to show jurors travel records text messages and emails hotel records and videos to supplement testimony and support their claims about what they call freak off activity

Barstool sports founder Dave Portnoy was very vocal on social media Sunday after learning of a hateful sign displayed at his Philadelphia establishment. I've been shaking, says Portnoy. When Portnoy first saw the anti-Semitic sign that was ordered with bottle service at his Center City bar,

Barstool Sansom Street. He was outraged. Portnoy addressed the situation in what he called an emergency press conference on social media. I'm trying to keep it together, but I'm on it, he said. Rabbi David Kushner, who is a chaplain at the Philadelphia Police Department, says Portnoy contacted him. He did reach out, and he is distraught, said Kushner. Posts online identify the offenders as Temple students.

Temple's president said the university placed one student found to be involved on interim suspension. Portnoy contacted the patrons involved and decided this should be a teaching moment. We're going to send these kids to Auschwitz and they're going to do a tour of the concentration camps in Germany and hopefully learn something and hopefully they think twice. And more importantly, other people see it's not like words you're throwing around. To me, that's a fair outcome of this event.

As for the servers who compiled and made the requested sign, Portnoy says they've been fired. Philadelphia police say that they are currently looking into the matter and ADL says they are also investigating. Just a question. So it's some places you can like pop up messages on a screen. I know that's kind of a thing. Was that what this was? I'm not.

positive but a lot of these bottle service places will have um either like uh the old school ones where you put the letters on or they have like digital ones now you place a sign on it and when they bring the bottle out it's like a big deal they're bouncing up and down they got the the servers on their shoulders they're holding the bottle that you ordered and it comes with whatever message you want you want it to say yeah they identified the uh students and um

and he talked about them in the video, Portnoy did, real quick. Auschwitz is in Poland, not in Germany. And so he made a little bit of a mistake there. I don't know how to feel about this. I actually, I commend him for being proactive about it. I think he's taking a stand and trying to do something. And so I think that that's admirable. I also sort of see like,

Now these kids are getting a vacation. Dude, I kind of thought the same thing. I know it's for educational purposes, but it is also a European trip that these guys are taking. You know what I mean? I'm not going to lie and say I didn't think the same thing. However, hopefully, when you're standing on the grounds of Auschwitz... Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe it does something. My dad had been a number of times and it was, I mean, not that, hey, let's go to Auschwitz. But he took a tour of a number of the camps and so on and so forth. And it is a recentering, mind-blowing experience. But also, maybe there's a less expensive, less luxurious way to go about teaching these guys a lesson. You know what I mean? There's a great, there's a nine-hour documentary. It is called Shoah.

And it is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen. You don't see any footage of any of the death camps. What you hear is living survivors of them breaking down and talking about what it was like. I start to tear up just talking about it. It's super powerful, and you save airfare. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, have them watch that. More than 40,000 runners made their way down Broad Street for the 46th annual Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run on Sunday morning. Oh, crap. I meant to do that. Oh.

The Broad Street Run? Yeah, yeah. That was yesterday. Oh, man. Oh, well. Maybe next year. All right. Joshua, and we're not sure of his last name because everybody's pronouncing it differently. Maybe Ishevsky, Izuski, Achuski. But he's from Doylestown. He's a Doylestown native, and he resides now in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Ran collegiately at the University of Florida. Finished first in the men's division in 46 minutes, 13 seconds. Philadelphia. That's like...

under a five-minute mile. Yeah, 46. This is the Broad Street Run. It's a 10-mile run, right? And he ran it in 46 minutes? He sprinted 10 miles. And that's not even the best time ever. That was his best time ever. That's why I don't do that. Philadelphia's Amber Zimmerman captured the women's division for the second year in a row in just over 54 minutes. They say he briefly entered the speed forest, Preston, which is kind of amazing. Miguel Jimenez Vergara

Also took first place for the second year with a finish of 37.19 seconds in the wheelchair division. And Brian Morrison set a new course record in the non-binary division, which was added in 2023, finishing with a time of 52.5.

52 minutes and 17 seconds beating Winter Park's mark of 52 minutes and 39 seconds set last year. The largest 10-mile race in the country started at Broad and Fisher in North Philadelphia and ended at the Navy Yard. You know, Kath, I wonder about people like this because I've jogged on occasion and at a certain point...

You know when you're running a diagnostic and you're like, okay, how are my lungs? How are my legs? How are my feet? How's my ass look? And then all of a sudden, my body will just tell itself, you're really tired and everything hurts. Just had a note. And this guy, these people, they don't have that. They just continue to like...

Pump, you know, like a machine. Well, you have the jogging resource sitting right next to you. Preston can bring it. You need a new tip. Preston just dove right back after not doing it for a while. How did you push through the pain? Now I can't ever run again. Torn meniscus. And you ran two miles, right? Two miles. Good for you that one time.

Some people are just made differently than others. It is that ability to push on through. Well, you know, we talked to Mark, what, last week, the guy that did the Rocky Steps and all the running. Like, these ultra runners are just, they're another breed. Genetically, a lot of them are just predisposed to that. Yeah, there's something about their body makeup that's a little bit different than Casey. And that's what we tell ourselves. I mean, I literally limp for the first five minutes of every morning. Like, do you think these people wake up and have to, like, limp around for a little bit? I think that's

You have to be sore from all the running. Your day starts with limping every day. Well, now it does. My right foot is like, I think he might have plantar fasciitis. And I was like, hey, foot, I haven't done anything to warrant this. It's like the car in the cold. You got to like warm it up before it's ready to go. Yep. All right. In sports this morning. Hey!

Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy. What the f*** is that? The Phillies lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-9 in 10 innings yesterday afternoon at the ballpark. What the f*** is this? Josh Naylor hit an RBI single in Arizona's three-run 10th inning, and the Diamondbacks won the last game of the weekend series. What the f***?

What the f*** is that?

Ura, who entered as the second half substitute with just over 15 minutes remaining, scored his second goal of the season for the Union, who have won three matches in a row. In the NHL playoffs, the Jets scored two goals in the final two minutes of regulation to tie the game and eventually won in double overtime, beating the St. Louis Blues 4-3 in Game 7 last night in Winnipeg.

The Jets will now face the Dallas Stars beginning on Wednesday. In the NBA, the Indiana Pacers beat the Cavaliers 121-112 last night in Cleveland to take Game 1 of the second round series. Game 2 is tomorrow night in Cleveland. In the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors went into Houston and beat up the Rockets in Game 7, winning 103-89. The Warriors will play the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

And that's what I have for you this morning. Hi, thank you, Kath. And welcome back, everybody, from the weekend. It's Monday, so new word of the week prize. We have four VIP admissions to Pig Dog Beach Bar, Maury's Piers Amusement Rides, and Raging Waters Water Park on June 13th. Wow.

We'll have keyword at eight o'clock.

We will also have as a guest today, it's pretty cool, a couple weeks ago, the Shark Tank crew were here and they were taking submissions for people to potentially be on the show and maybe get supported by a shark. Well, it ended up happening to a couple of people. Actually, we've had an interaction with them before. We have Mike Hawk and Michael Burns who were with Mad Mutts and they make...

We have a cool thing coming up with Phil Abundance that we're going to bring you up to speed on with too.

We will. Today announces, Casey? Yes, sir. Live band karaoke. Oh! Preston and Steve show side stage MMRBQ. So we get to reveal who our singers are today. Yeah, we had a lot of audience interaction, a lot of votes and stuff like that. And then my daughter and I spent Friday night just going through and

Yeah, I'm excited for this. Everyone got listening. Oh, cool, cool. That's awesome. When do we want to announce this? I didn't know we were doing this. You know what? Let's get settled in a little bit. Because we got a lot of stuff going on around the 8 o'clock hour. So maybe let's put this...

That show is not until November 22nd, by the way. It's a Saturday, which is pretty cool. So the question that I have for you is this, and make sure I say the name correctly, guys. What is Jean Valjean's prison number in the novel Les Mis? Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean. Yeah.

Jean Valjean. All right. Let's see if you know the prison number. I don't until I saw this trivia question this morning. The number on his outfit, not his phone number. That's correct. Prison number. Okay. All right. So we'll go through some birthdays while we await your...

or your Zoom. I forgot to say that. You got to text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333. We'll send you the link and then pop you up through that doohickey. All right, so birthday's on the fifth day, Cinco de Mayo. Henry Cable has his birthday today.

Great Superman. I'm going to say my favorite Superman right now, but there's so many great ones. Christopher, even everyone else, terrific, but loved what he did with the role. He turns 42 years old today, and he's just a studly, good-looking guy. The new Superman is from this area. Corn Sweat, which is a great name. Yeah.

So he's buff too. So we'll see how that plays out. Jonathan Rhys-Davies turns a year older. He played Gimli in Lord of the Rings. And, of course, a very famous character from the Indiana Jones series, Sala. His character. Riders of the Lost Ark. Legendary characters. Yeah.

So he turns 80. The funny thing is his penis is incredibly small. Well, he is a dwarf. So he is celebrating his 81st birthday today. Wow, man, he looks good. I just saw him interviewed and he's a talker. Oh, yeah? I love to get him on the show. Yeah, and he loves talking about this stuff, the stuff that we're into. I love that. It's Danielle Fischel's birthday. Yeah, boy meets world. Okay.

Girl Meets World. She just got into a tussle, so to speak, on the podcast with that other cast member who went into porn. Oh, Maylin Ward. That is correct. Yeah, they did kind of have a little back and forth on that. Is that the one that was on our show? Or no? Danielle, yes. We had, well, so Danielle we spoke to years ago when she was in town and people had seen her at McGurk's, was it? McGurk's.

Some place downtown. Yeah, some place. Anyhow, she was, she and another girl were kissing, you know. You know how girls for a free drink will kiss sometimes? I think they were doing that and then she like hung up on the interview with us. And we asked her about it. Yeah. But anyhow, and we have talked to Maylin Ward and she was promoting her, you know, pornography. Yeah. So Danielle Fischel is 44 years old, Topanga. Topanga.

Lance Henriksen's birthday is today. Oh, one of my absolute favorites. That was a great time in the studio. He was just a blast. Yep. He's 85 today, by the way. In the original movie, Alien, he plays the cyborg. Or not the cyborg, the...

Bishop in Aliens. Yes, the... Android. Android. That's what I'm looking for. And also, Millennium was a big success for him, too. Love that show. He's in Close Encounters. He's been in a ton of stuff. He's actually in Terminator as well. So happy 85th to him. And then Michael Palin has his birthday today. A Monty Python fame. This isn't him, but...

No. This is Monty Python, but no, he turns 82. A Fish Called Wanda, he's Ken. Yeah. Kill me. Yeah, that's him. He has a stutter and he's great. That was on just like two weeks ago. I came in in the middle of it and that's another movie that I'll just settle into wherever it's on. You're going to do fine. And it was towards the end and as he's

As he's losing his stutter when he's driving the steamroller. Yeah. It's so great. So happy 82nd birthday. Man, Michael Palin.

Tina Yoddard. That was one of our earliest celebrity interviews on the Preston and Steve show, Preston. I met her at a Debbie Gibson concert and I was all dressed with my hat and so was she. It was like right at the time. She was famous. I loved the show so it was so exciting for me to meet her. She was young at the time. She was still a kid. She kind of went on and did sort of a quasi-

punk thing or at least a goth band. It didn't really take off like she had hoped but what was her character's name on that show? Hang on. Keaton. Yeah. Theo. No. No.

You had Alex P. You had Mallory. Yeah. And then Tina. Jennifer? Jen? Her name was Tina Yarders. I do not remember. Wow. She turns... Jennifer Keaton. Jennifer Keaton. Jennifer? I never would have gotten that. No. She turns 52 years old today. It's Adele's birthday. Hey! Oh!

Adele turns 37 years old today. You're big addicted to Adele, correct? I was on to Adele back in her 19 album with Chasing Pavements. And then 21 I consider to be just an absolute perfect album. Musically, lyrically, all of it. It's just so good. It's just so raw. And I had tickets to see her, but I gave up my ticket to my friend Helen to go with my wife.

All right. Yeah, yeah. You never thought of entertaining the notion of when she had that long Las Vegas residency going on? No. Didn't appeal to you? No. Well, maybe I should, but... Oh, it's over now. Oh, it's over now? Oh, damn it. So Adele turns 37, and she's doing just fine. She is. She's only 37? Yeah. And then...

Go ahead. No, you gotta figure she hit the scene at 19 years old. Yeah, she was turning out. She's been around for a little while, yeah. Final birthday, Kurt Loder of MTV News. Christ, man. Wow, he's 80 years old today. He was old on MTV. But he didn't look old. I mean, I always thought he had a younger look about him. I mean, he was older for the staff, for sure, but they needed somebody who had...

A little bit of maturity to him because he was handling the news to it. He came from Rolling Stone. He was a reporter for Rolling Stone. And that was his thing. Wow, he turns 80 today. Man, you know, man. All right. Let's see if somebody knows the answer to this question. What is Jean Valjean's prison number in the novel Les Mis? And we are going to check in with Brian this morning via Zoom. Hey, Brian, good morning, buddy. Good morning. All right. Do you know the prison number?

24601. The man is correct. Damn good. Well done, sir. Stay right there because we're going to set you up. Like I said, we're going to give you those tickets. We have a pair as MMR rocks Whitney Cummings.

At the Miller Theater, Saturday, November 22nd. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster. You can go to WMMR.com. We've got all the info there. At the box office this weekend, Marvel's Thunderbolts debuted to a healthy $76 million, making it the number one movie in the country. Follow that up with Sinners in the second place. Minecraft movie was third. And rounding out the top five, we have The Accountant.

2 and 4th, and Until Dawn coming in at 5th place. You know, I thought The Accountant 2 would do a little bit better on its release. I think it released at number 2, its opening weekend, and that movie is played, the original The Accountant, is played constantly. Yeah, yeah. But are you going to rush to the theater to see it, Steve? That's a good question. I think that's where people are nowadays. Just personally, I'm not. I'll wait until it's on TV, and I'll wait until it gets home, you know? I know. It's sad that that's not where we're at.

You know what I mean? Well, you know, they're trying now, at least working with the theater companies, they're trying to re-extend the amount of time before something makes it to streaming to sort of induce business back into the theaters just for that reason. If you know it's going to be viewable at home in about a month, you're going to hang. Ultimately, what's holding them back is the ticket prices and concession prices. So like...

I don't know. Can't you just lower the prices? I mean, that ain't going to happen. Well, then they're not going to see the returns that they want. It's just as simple as that. People don't have the money. They don't have $100 to go to the movies as a family or whatever. Yeah. I mean, listen, we can't dice it out right now. We can't fix it. All right. The Met Gala 2025 is happening tonight. This year's theme, superfine, tailoring black stars.

And it pays tribute to the artistry and legacy of black dandyism drawing from fashion, photography, and history. So I'm going to have to leave early. I have to get ready for tonight. You do, yes. I'm very excited. Sharp tailoring, bold statements, and celebs' personal twist. The official dress code is, quote, tailored for you.

As always, the star-studded fundraiser takes place at the Met Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. King of the Costume Institute's latest exhibition. The red carpet begins around 4.30 this afternoon. And while the inside of the event is famously phone-free, fans can tune into Vogue's live stream at 6 p.m. And you can catch all the new arrivals. So is reading all the security measures going into place for this thing? And it is extensive. Like they are actually shutting down...

subway stops that are close to it for fear of any sort of attack. And I mean, they've quite droopled the police presence. Yeah, they're going crazy. Tayana Taylor, Lala Anthony, and Ego and Wodum are set to host this year's live stream.

The co-chairs include Coleman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, and the ever-present Anna Wintour, with LeBron James joining as honorary chair. The guest list is a who's who from fashion, art, music, and beyond.

Think Usher, Janelle Monae, Ayo Edeberry, Spike Lee, and more. So that's today. They got LeBron James because the Lakers lost the first round. He's available. I'd like to see them adopt the NFL approach and at the end of it all dump a bucket of Gatorade on Diana Wintour. That'd be great. That'd be great. In an emotional BBC interview, Prince Harry...

said that he was devastated by the UK court's ruling to deny his appeal for automatic police security, calling it a good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up.

And he revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to me, he said, because of this security stuff. He said, I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore. And he said, life is precious. We might have a clip, please, if you could take a peek at that and see if we can play that of Prince Harry talking about King Charles. Do you think that there's a point where if they're in a room, he'll say, would you please tell my son? Yeah, right. Yeah. They're just telling, speaking through other people. Life is precious.

I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile. So he said that the dispute over security was always the sticking point and claimed the royal household influenced their decision. He said everybody knew that they were putting us at risk in 2020 and they hoped...

that me knowing that risk would force us to come back. And he said the prince stated the ruling impacts his ability to safely visit the UK and show his homeland to his children. He said, I love my country. It's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland. So the way he said that, and we know that King Charles is fighting cancer. I don't know what state or status he is right now, if he's in remission or if they've beaten it or if they're still treating it. But he sounded really...

Like time is at the essence at the beginning of that. Did you hear that? I did. And it may be that or it may be just you never know with cancer or you just never know with cancer. It can, you know, turn on a dime. So he confirmed that he would not pursue further legal action. However, stating this is at the heart of it is it's a family dispute and it makes me really, really sad. So we'll see where this goes.

Sidney Sweeney is single again, and that means that the rumor mill is working overtime. The actress recently called things off with her now ex-fiance Jonathan DeVino, and people started wondering who her next romantic partner could be. Names have been flying around, including everyone from her co-star in Anyone But You, Glenn Powell, to her co-star in The Housemaid, Brandon Sklenar.

And Powell has downplayed any rumors. And now sources for Us Weekly have downplayed rumors about Sklenar as well. Rumors popped up about her and him after they were spotted at Stagecoach recently. Also, she's being connected to Patrick Schwarzenegger. Oh, okay. From White Lotus. The source said that they are really just good friends and Sydney is living her best life right now.

And they add that the actor simply has a flirtatious personality. Does anyone ever boast of living their worst life? It never seems to be something that comes up. I'm not boasting about it, no. I'm living my worst life. Was Patrick Schwarzenegger, was he the older brother? Yes. Is that him? That's him. And that looks like Machine Gun Kelly standing next to Patrick Schwarzenegger. In a photo that we're looking at right now, yes.

So this is interesting. It took long enough, but Gigi Hadid has confirmed via Instagram what everyone already knew, that she's in a relationship with Bradley Cooper. So it's Instagram official now. Oh, my God. It's just Instagram official now? Yeah. There's been no visual verification of a romance. So you got it. Once it hits Insta, now we know it's real. In a carousel of photos celebrating her 30th birthday, one of the pics showed the two kissing.

And it's the first time that the actor has shown up in her Instagram feed since the two were reported to be dating back in 2023. She also reposted the video of the Delco Pooper, Preston. Oh, we helped her out. Oh, she's Team Bucks, isn't she?

By the way, Casey's got an update on that. There's a bar in Delaware County that has paid homage with a cocktail. Yeah, I knew that was going to happen. What is it called? Well, the Marple Public House has the Delco Mudslide now. Yeah. Delco Mudslide. That works for me. Mm-hmm.

So, in a carousel of photos celebrating her 30th birthday, one of the pics showed the two kissing. And it's the first time that they've done that, like I said. All right, so here's another official over. It's officially legally over. Nothing's over!

for Christina Hack and Josh Hall. God, I hate these. I know. In a statement, her rep said, Christina is pleased to confirm that a settlement has been reached through mediation. She wants to, she extends her sincere appreciation to her attorney, Laura Wasser, and her team for their professional guidance and support throughout the process.

Hack herself said, I can't wait to move on with my life and focus on what's ahead and all my blessings. Hi, I'm Rambo. Join me tonight at 7.30 for Flip or Flop. We're going to take a house that's in disarray and turn it into the house of your dreams. Joining me will be Christina Hack and Heather Cherkoff. That would be great.

Where's my nail gun? Yep, that would be great to have around. He's firing a whole ton of nails into the wall yelling Delco. Delco! And you filled the whole neighborhood.

Alright, this story came up on Friday. We didn't get a chance to touch on it, but legendary Laugh-In cast member Ruth Buzzi passed away. The comedian and five-time Emmy nominee who was famous for clobbering people with her purse and a long-running gag on the comedy variety show. I love that character, Gladys Hornsby, and it was...

Artie Lang? Not Artie Lang, right? Was it? No, Artie... What was his name? I know who you're talking about. Yes, and he played the old man, and I'm having a brain fart, but they would sit on the park bench, and he was always saying inappropriate things, and she'd slide down the bench as he was moving along, and then she would clobber him. But that whole character, she was great on that show. I'm surprised she never won at least one Emmy. Buzzy passed away last Thursday of complications from...

at her home near Fort Worth, Texas. She had a long career on Broadway and in television. In addition to starring on Laugh-In for the show's entire six-season run, she was 88 years old. Artie Johnson. Artie Johnson. Thanks, Nick.

Danny Lynn Burkhead turned heads at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, 21 years after her late mother, Anna Nicole Smith, rocked a black, a backless black gown to the Barnstable Brown Gala. Danny Lynn wore the exact same gown and caused many of the same jaws to drop as she attended the event with her dad, Larry Burkhead.

And she looks similar to her mom. She's a blonde bombshell. I found myself tearing up. I saw the interview live when they talked to her with the gown on and everything. And I'm like, oh, that's kind of sweet. Danny Lynn is wearing Anna Nicole's dress that she wore 21 years ago to the same event. Do we have a clip of that? We do. It's ready to rock. All right, here we go. This is her. I feel good in it.

I'm going to once again try not to cry when I say this, but I can't know my mom, sadly, and this is one of the only reasons and ways I can. And this is the closest I'll ever be getting to a hug from her. So I've been on and off tears the whole day.

So, yeah, she said, this is according, Larry wrote on Instagram, Danny Lynn is wearing Anna Nicole's dress that she wore 21 years ago to this same event, Life is Full Circle. You want to kiss me? She said she chose that dress because it was her mom's and super cool. As for Danny Lynn, she explained that, like you heard in the clip, that it was the closest to a hug that she could get from her mom. That's kind of sweet. Yeah. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are teaming up again. Woohoo!

The actors who have starred next to each other in classics like Speed, Kathy, are set to team up for a romantic thriller for Amazon MGM Studios. Will it be Speed 3? No, probably not. But now is the time to speculate wildly because details including the plot...

and even the title of the movie are currently being kept under wraps. The idea for the movie was reportedly brought to the two actors specifically, and Sandra Bullock is set to produce the movie. She had a massive crush on him, apparently, during the filming of Speed. Yeah. I think that's why the chemistry works. So, we were talking about Patrick Schwarzenegger a moment ago, and he

is ready to take on the iconic role of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. Luca Guadagino is working on a reboot of the film and fans are rallying for the actor to take the lead role. After one fan said that he he's fond his breakout role. Found. It's a typo, but it's in quotations. I don't know why.

But anyhow, Schwarzenegger shared that he was all in. He said, I'd love nothing more. And he might really mean it because he's been saying that he's excited for the reboot for a while now. We're playing to a variety last year, reporting that Guadagnino

was directing the movie, the actor wrote My Dream. Austin Butler and Jacob Elordi have been rumored to be in talks to star in the reboot, but there hasn't been a ton of news confirming casting so far. And of course, Christian Bale played Patrick Bateman in the original. Don't just stare at it, eat it. That was in 2000, by the way. Did you ever see it? You saw it, right? Yeah, a great movie. Yeah, a few times, yeah.

Let's see here. Casey, here's a follow-up to this from last week. We told you that the iconic bike from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure was on the auction block. Yeah. And if you're looking to move it, it's too late. Move on that. A rep...

For Van Eaton Galleries reported to TMZ that the screen used stunt bike ridden by the late Paul Rubens in several scenes in the film sold for $125,000. Damn it. To be honest, I thought it would get a little bit more. You know what? I was surprised. Yeah. I was thinking closer to a million. This is the one that's in the scene where he swings on the vine a la Tarzan. Yeah. Yeah.

But I mean, you'll hear like famous instruments go for, you know, under a million dollars. I know, but they're iconic. There are some peewee freaks out there. And what's crazy is that's what I went to sleep to last night. Like when I went to bed, I'm like, I need something familiar. And I turn on Peewee's Big Adventure.

The bicycle was one of 14 created for the film. No word on who the buyer was, that particular buyer. Yeah, like maybe if it was the only one, right? They only had one bike? Yeah, but there are 14 out there. All right, we can play clips now. Here we go.

So the neighborhood has been on for seven years, which means 14-year-old Hank Greenspan has spent half his life on that show. Here he explains the surrealness of starting at a young age. It's been probably the most surreal for me because when I started, I was like six or seven, something like that. But I've...

grown up with this show. I've grown up with the people working on it. My mom had to tell me who Cedric the Entertainer was. I didn't know anything. It's been a serious learning process for me. I don't give a ****. The finale of The Neighborhood airs tonight. You'll see that on CBS. Here's our next clip.

NCIS has been picked up for a 23rd season. In this clip, Wilmer Valderrama talks about the killer finale and what to expect at the end of season 22. Because we felt we had that runway, we decided let's do a two-part season finale. So the first part, you know, was last Monday. Big, big questions. And then the next episode answers all the questions. We seeded a lot of different storylines this season. Somebody does die. Somebody died. It's not a...

It's not the murder of the week. It's unfortunate, very close to us and to be very earth shattering and really heartbreaking. I don't I don't want to I don't think I want to see it. The finale of NCIS airs tonight and that will be on CBS as well. Twenty three C's. All right. That's it. That's your entertainment report for the morning. We have some stuff happening today.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you, Kathy. Not to go off, but we were just having fun with the shiny, happy people. And I got an email from...

someone over the weekend who was going through a tough time. They didn't expand and say why, but they wanted to thank us for helping to kind of usher them through these issues that they're having. I love that. And I responded with, thank you very much. And I said, what you may not know is I'm not all that happy right now either. I'm in a piss poor mood today. I apologize. I'm not going to dwell on that. And just their undercurrent

Well, we're all going through some stuff right now. And it's kind of, you know, it's whatever. But we're all in this big game together is kind of what I'm trying to stress. No, and I agree. And in that, it makes you a little bit happier to know that you're with it. You're with other people who want to see you fail. Okay. Jesus. Did I misread that? I might have misread that. I mean, this is...

This is shaping up to be one of the worst years of my life. But you know what? Yeah. We come in here every day. Mm-hmm.

I'm with you guys, which is great. And we're all happy to see you fail. Right? Yeah. You brought us pastries. We all wallow in your failure. I did bring in pastries today. I'm going to mention this place. You should. Rochelle and I were going out on Saturday. It was such a beautiful day on Saturday. And it was supposed to be crap, and it was gorgeous. And Rochelle and I were just like, we had some extra time on our hands. I'm like, you want to go get some coffee? Let's just...

go for a drive. We haven't gone for a drive in a while. So we went for a drive and...

We have a hard top on right now, but we did take the T-tops off. And so, yeah, we got out and enjoyed the air flowing through the vehicle and everything. And so I just real quick did a search on coffee near me or whatever. And there was a place I'd never heard of before, and it's called Paris Baguette. It was brand new. Paris Baguette. In North Wales. I've heard of it. Somebody keeps sending me this. Oh, really? Yes.

Dude, some of the best looking cakes I've ever seen. Are you a broadcaster? We're at this place. It's a chain apparently. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And we walked out with 10 pounds of pastries. Ha, ha, ha.

Because we were like, Steve, you asked, were you hungry when you went there? Because I saw the signs. It was like 430. It was getting close to dinner time. Yeah. And we loaded up on all these. It's not your fault. All these pastries. You mainly just went there for coffee. Oh, we're looking at some of the menu items. Yeah. Look at that. I think there's one near me. I believe there's one in maybe Bluebell and my sister-in-law goes and she keeps telling me that I have to go there. I think that's what it is. Okay. Stop right there.

croissant donuts with Nutella. Nutella? I effing love Nutella. It's used in desserts and icings and it's only 9 million calories. Yeah, we're looking at the menu right now. These are almost too beautiful to eat, Preston. I know. They're kind of creations, right? Why don't you take your filthy mouth and eat my work of art? But anyway, so I brought...

a bunch of it in today because we weren't going to eat those. And so we, yeah, you should try some of that. You help make us happy. See, so you're not happy, but you try to make other people happy. That is mission one today for everyone. I like that. I do like that. So anyhow, have some pastries. Yeah. Shut up.

All right. So I'm sorry. I didn't mean to head in that direction, but just the whole shiny happy people thing made me think of that. And the email I got from somebody, it was... You know, I got another email. Actually, I wanted to share with you guys because this one was kind of out of... Is this Preston's mailbox? Out of blue? No, it's not Preston's mailbox. I mightily try to create new features every time. We should do that sometimes because I do get a lot of messages that I don't have a place for. But this one I got...

This is from a guy named Get Orange. G-H-E-T. I guess that's how you pronounce his name. Orange is his last name. O-R-A-N-G-E. That's not even a word. That's a cool name, though. Does that sound like Get Bent? So he is from South Africa. Oh! And he says, I just love the Bizarre Files. I listen to the podcast and I just love it. The team cracks me up and keeps me awake on the long drives when I'm just feeling down and need a laugh.

uh, send my thank you and love to the team. Kind regards. I thought that was really cool. I said, I've heard that. I heard that a couple of times over the weekend. I went to this, uh, Wolf, uh, this, uh, adoption event for, uh, me waiting on a friend. And, uh, people just, they brought that up a lot. You cannot, you cannot overestimate how important it is for us to hear that we're a part of your morning. And that if you're in a bad mood, um, that we can help turn that around a little bit. It is an honor. Oh, and here's a gift. Uh,

I had a ticket raid over the weekend at Del Chevy. And a young man named Rocco made this for us and wanted me to bring it in. It's his tribute to Cooper DeGene. It looks good, man. Look at that. And he made a poster. Oh.

of his collegiate career and his professional career with the Eagles and all these. I get it, man. I have a samurai sword signed by Randy Jackson. I thought that was really cool of him to do that. It's talented. He's very talented. It's really well done. Cooper was at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Was he? Yeah, and so was Jason Wirth. Did anybody see? Because he owns a horse now. He's gotten really into horse racing. He was there last year as well. If somebody can call up a photo of Jason Wirth at the Kentucky Derby, because obviously fashion at the Kentucky Derby

Kentucky Derby is a thing. His outfit was remarkable. It was quite memorable. I don't know if that's this year or last year. That might be last year. Nick, I recently... Well, a couple years ago... It was pouring this year, so it wasn't this year. I had a conversation with a couple of former professional athletes, and all of them were...

had purchased into racing horses. So like, I don't know if that's... And they were all from Philadelphia. So I don't know if it's like a Philly thing and that's kind of what they're doing to invest some of their money. But they all were into the horse racing and had some sort of stake in some of the horses. That's cool. Yeah, you know, it's funny. As I was watching the Derby, I was like, if I ever hit the lottery, I think I would invest in maybe...

Thoroughbred Horse Racing just so I can name the horses because I love the horses' names and we have these people that we knew that the idea came from them. This guy won the lottery. Yeah. Not a huge purse and, you know, I think he won like

million dollars? He bought a raccoon. No, but I think he won a million dollars and he bought a thoroughbred horse with that. I don't know how that's turned out for him. They're so expensive, the maintenance. I didn't realize not to go off on a derby thing here personally. We'll play a clip from it too, by the way, in a second. And maybe, obviously, you were from that area and I've watched it many years and it never, it just hit me this time around watching it. By the way, it's

a complete mutter track, as they say, super soppy and ugly. But I didn't realize there were 20 horses. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, I think maybe I ended up with like 19 because one scratched towards the end. That was a large field, Steve. That was a large. I thought, because I knew they were, I mean, it looked,

out of the gate, super crowded. Yeah, and chances are in the next two legs of the Triple Crown, there will be fewer horses in each race. It's just kind of how the races go over the course of the Triple Crown. Yeah, and by the way, guys, I almost hit the trifecta, but I did hit the exacta. I placed the bet...

maybe about 30 seconds before they actually started the race. And I won. What was the bet and what was your payout? So I bet $2. I won $24. Someone's that much closer to owning a thoroughbred racehorse. I went to a Kentucky Derby party. My brother has a party for his clients every year. And so I was there at the party. And it's only... How long is the race? I forget. It's like three minutes. But it's like...

It's so exciting. However, this year was the first year I watched and I thought, I don't know if I like horse racing, like these poor horses. Oh, well, yeah. That's why animal activists are not into, you know, sporting, using animals for sport. Like I was just watching how hard they're running and like the training. But they do love it. They're competitive and they're...

it's part of their breed they they're competitive like that so my dad watch watch Seabiscuit and and you'll they they do talk about how the horse especially Seabiscuit responded to the competition but on top of that yeah they're do they do some extreme things to to get them to that level they can my dad worked in the industry for a little while his cousin was was an owner of some thoroughbreds and and my dad would go and and as kind of a post-retirement thing he went he went and they would go from track to track and

and take the horses and stuff. It's an interesting, it's its own culture. It is definitely its own world and own culture. But here's a clip from the Kentucky Derby. Journalism is on the line.

Move as they turn for home and sovereignty is coming with him on the outside. The two of them go right by with a furlough to run. Journalism and sovereignty nose to nose down to the last 16th of a mile. Sovereignty has taken the lead. Journalism is second toward the good side. Baeza is third, but it will be sovereignty to rule. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Marissa was telling me last week that this is like her absolute, her favorite sporting event to watch on television. And so I watched it. You know, I only got to watch for like, you know, maybe 10 minutes leading up to it, but

But it is very, very beautifully shot, man. I mean, it's really, really nice stuff. I did have Jace betting on the race. And he bet with a family member of my sister-in-law's. And I'm just looking now and Jace lost. So we owe him 20 bucks. But I did win best hat at the party. You did? In case you guys were wondering. I did win best hat. I need to see it. It had kielbasa hanging off it, didn't it? We need to see it. Marissa? It's so much my favorite event that I didn't watch a single second of it this weekend. Oh, my gosh.

Marissa, it got to the point on Saturday, and just by happenstance, I was watching something on YouTube, and a horse was on it, and I thought, oh my God, it's the Kentucky Derby today. Well, I was at the Singers Home Festival in Maniunk on Venice Island. Oh, that's right. So I was down that all Saturday. I did pull it up on my phone once or twice, but every time I pulled it up, it was at a commercial break. They have... My attention span. But it is my bucket list...

sporting event to go to. Same. I did see Philly Sports Trips was there this year. I don't know, man. There was 147. That's way too many people. 147,000. You got to get in with somebody where you can actually sit somewhere and see it.

If you want to do a trial run on this, I'm going to suggest this to you. So my dad lives in Lexington, Kentucky, and I've been there a bunch of times. There's a wonderful track called Keeneland that is right there. Now, the running season for those are very short. It's like a month, and that's it. They're done. So when the horses are racing, everybody goes. And it's like that. People dress up. If you don't want to go to the...

150,000 people event. You can go to Keeneland and Lexington. Uh,

And check this out. And it's beautiful. How often? And you get the feel for it. It's just once a year. Like, it's about a month. Oh, it's a similar one. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So they run. They have the short run time, time frame. And it's gorgeous. They use the track throughout the year for other events. That would be cool. Yeah. You should do that if you don't want to go through the nightmare of an event that is that big. And we can get dressed up in big hats and midget lips and all that stuff, too. It's like, because that's the experience I want.

Yeah, and you go to the paddock and you watch the horses come out and do the show. And you'll see the real serious bettors that are there jotting down all their notes and stuff. Do you think your dad will let us stay with him? That's a little much. I'll check into that. Yeah, that's a little much. And plus there's all the distilleries. We can go do a bourbon tour while we're down there too. Let's do it.

All right. So anyhow, yeah, that one's in the books now. And so Cooper DeGene, was he just there to be there? I guess so, yeah. There's a guy on Instagram that I follow named Sheffield Chauffeur, I think is how you say it. Anyway, he was interviewing him and looked like he was having a good time. And Cooper was dressed relatively conservatively compared to some of the other outfits that I saw on the red carpet. Did I see a stat that like all the horses in the race were descendants of Secretariat? I saw the same thing. No. Okay. Okay.

Well, in that race, maybe, possibly. Here's something that's really cool and about the breeding of the horses. And if you go to the Lexington Airport, in the middle of it, they've got this centerpiece that they have. And I've taken a picture of it. I'll find it and show it to you guys.

They can narrow down all of the thoroughbreds to one single horse. Is that amazing? Yep. And it's in the floor. It's this big circular pattern. And they had the lineage of all of the racehorses and how they all come back to this one horse. And it might have been like an Arabian or something like that. Big Dong McGillicuddy. That was the one. You've been there.

I'll say this. Again, it was fun watching it as it was with a rainy, muddy track. But there was an angle that they had at the end of it where they were right over the run. And you could just see the amount of mud getting blasted up. I didn't realize they were going through like six pairs of goggles, the jockeys, as they're moving along and like swinging them off their head and just dropping them down on their neck and just putting them up. No kidding.

kidding? Yes. So they actually have like a bunch of goggles that they're switching through. Yeah. Afterwards, did you see the horse that finished last and the amount of mud? Oh my God. So the amount of mud that was covering that, because he was bringing up the rear most of the race. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so he was just getting every horse in front of him was kicking up mud and it was all over that horse and all over that jockey and his uniform was just completely brown. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, we're looking at this. It was, that's nasty. It looked like maybe they were just got done tailgating a woman's car in Delaware County. That was all the talk over the weekend. They were talking about it at the Derby. And this is in honor of the woman who took a full-blown diarrhea dookie on the hood of a car.

Somebody was telling me over the weekend that apparently that wasn't the first time she had done that. Shut up. Come on. Well, you don't get that good at it without practice. Yeah, and I probably shouldn't have said that because I don't know for sure. Did you see, you had to have seen Victor's article, right? And how she responded to him? No, I did not.

So he had contacted her and I guess she... Victor Fiorello from Philly Mag. Yes, exactly. He had contacted her and she called him back. He missed her call. And then when he finally got in touch with her, she said, I'm all lawyered up. And he was like, okay. And he tried, asked a few questions. And he basically was saying, because she has this OnlyFans account, like, does she use what she did on the car for her OnlyFans? And she replied by saying, are you asking me to S on you? 5K and I bring a bodyguard.

Shut up. To Victor Fiorello. Wow. Yeah. Did he take her up on it? I don't think so. 5K and I bring a bodyguard and she'll take a dump on it. That's how she responded. I would like to see the pricing menu. Wow. I would like to see the pricing menu. Oh my goodness. That's a little steep.

I'm not made of money. Yeah, but she's got a name now. I mean, she's got to use this while she can. True, true, true. We really do need to figure out the six degrees of separation between me and her at some point. There's got to be something there. Dude, I bet there's two. You probably dated her. Dookie, number two. My God. Wow. Well, Friday was amazing. If you missed it, it was later in the show, we had the kid that actually filmed the

the whole thing. His name was Greg Ferrari. Right, perfect. And he went to Interbarrow High School and checked in from one of his classrooms while he was at school via Zoom. Yeah, my friend from high school, Mr. Lavery, teaches there and he texted me on the side. He goes, dude, he's a great kid.

great kid. Yeah? Yeah. I believe it. Yeah, me too. He was a nice kid and wanted some recognition. Yeah. The video went viral without him being a part of it. He shared it with his baseball text group. Yeah. And then it exploded. And one of them put it up on Facebook and then it took off and he got zero, you know, filming credit or anything for it. Sitting in an intersection where he sees this altercation taking place, you could not figure that you... It'd be like the first person who gets verifiable footage of an alien landing. That...

Yeah, how could you possibly plan on that, you know? A comment on our YouTube page from over the weekend because, you know, we will post our YouTube videos from the day before or, you know, Friday on Monday's case. And this person wrote, oh, my God, I was in class with Greg during the interview. We were all trying really hard not to crack up while it was happening, teachers included. Ha, ha, ha.

The class was cool, man. They were all in the background waving. What a great little... I wonder... We didn't catch what year he was. No. I don't know if he's graduating this year, but what a great little graduation present. I feel like he's got to be a senior. He looks like he is. Yeah. Well, I mean, A, he's driving, right? So he would at least be a junior. At least be a junior. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

But that was obviously a big topic of discussion over the weekend with whomever you ran into. That and the Kentucky Derby. Oh, my God. It's the same thing but without the hats. Yeah.

Kath, I'm dying to see your hat. Can you describe it? Yeah. So it was like a fascinator and it just was, I had it matched perfectly with my... What's a fascinator? It's someone who comes from the future to kill your parents. Oh, no, that's a Terminator. Oh, I'm sorry. Instead of a full hat that sits on your head, you know, like it's kind of just like a little thing that goes off to the side and it clips into the hair. Okay. But yeah, I have a picture. I'll show it to you. All right. And you won best hat. Best hat. Yeah.

Come with me if you want to live. All right, well, we got a couple of minutes to play with. I didn't mean to head down that path. We had to report on it. And chat about that stuff. But yeah, we definitely did. So now I'm struggling to dive into... Well, if you want to talk about things that happened over the weekend, Preston, we also have Nick's... I think Nick actually did...

You guys did see an alien spaceship land or something akin to that, correct? So my wife was driving south on the Northeast Extension, not too far from where you live, Preston. Yeah, in fact, the video was tagged Harleysville, right? Yes. My hometown. And so I shared the video on my Instagram account, which is nickmacklewin1. And...

So it is about two miles north of your exit, the Lansdale exit, Preston. And I posted the video. And when you post on Instagram nowadays, it also shows up on threads. So people were doing a lot of commenting on threads and on Instagram. And nobody really was able to come to a conclusion. Some people suggested, and I believe this, that it might be localized or Borealis. And then some people were suggesting that it's a grow house.

A lot of people were suggesting that there is new lighting at Southerton High School, Preston. And so the sports field there, I guess, has some new night lighting. This was Thursday night around 9 p.m., 9.15, something like that. As I'm looking at that video, and so to describe this, there is this red glow in the sky. And it's this kind of oval-ish shape.

And I can see the lights from the stadium on the ground. I don't think it's that. So Southerton's colors are red, Nick. Maybe they have some kind of spotlight that I don't know of that they can shoot up into the sky and it reflected off of the...

off of the clouds. Do they play intergalactic teams? Not this year that I know of, but it does look really strange, Nick. It's very high in the sky. Yeah, and it was kind of cloudy, but other people apparently saw it as well. Again, this was Thursday night. She saw it around 9, 9.15, something like that.

But people had seen it earlier in the week. And then I don't know if anybody saw it on Friday night as well. But we never came to a conclusion. And none of the posts that suggested maybe it was Aurora Bay Alice. That's what it looks like, Nick. It kind of does. And we got that flash of it this summer. When was that? Yeah, it was this past summer. It was in the fall. It was in the fall. Why would you have a fixed...

Rora Borealis over, you said a couple days people were seeing it? I guess, Steve. I mean, and look, it's just commenting on Instagram, so who knows if they actually saw it or not. And I don't think it's a drone either, Nick. It looks too big and wide for something like that. It's either the, it might be the reflection of light. It could be that the lights in the stadium. It just might be, yeah, something is atmospherically happening to make that pop, but it's pretty cool looking. Yeah, I mean, and it's bright red. Yeah, that is a, as people

And I looked on the video that you sent, Nick, and I was scrolling down and looking at the comments. And not many of them were really, you know, people saying what they thought. People of Earth, we would love to meet the woman who crapped on the hood of the car. The word has gotten out. Yes, we come from Bortan, and we have heard of this woman who can defecate on command. We've collected up some money. We have $5,000. We're ready to roll. Oh, my God. They got five grand?

Absolutely. In Earth money. Wow. They came prepared. Steve, it was like when Superman was killed and he screamed. Right. It woke up the mother box. Right, right. That's it. This woman takes a dump on a car in Delco and all of a sudden it alerts the aliens to life that is worth reaching out to. The bell has been rung. And they have heard. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Oh.

Oh, my God. Yeah, I think the timing is perfect. Yeah. So maybe that's what it is. Or aliens or everybody else. Who knows? So Andrea saw this. You didn't see it? Correct. Yeah. So she was driving back down from the Lehigh Valley on Thursday evening and she sent me the video. Wow.

Yeah, who knows? I mean, like, really, none of the answers or suggestions on comments or people that emailed me or whatever came up with a definitive solution. Nobody said, oh, it's definitely this. If we had a telephone, I'd take some calls and see if anybody knew what that was. Yeah, yeah, that's coming. Maybe the aliens can introduce that kind of technology here on Earth where we can talk to people remotely. Teach us of your ways. Forget to serve man, to talk to men far away. That's the book we need.

We do have the Zoom capabilities, which, by the way, you can text ZOOM to 610-660-9333 unless you need a link to join us. So at this event, getting a lot of feedback, people enjoying the Zoom, but their love of it is running thin now. They want phones. They made it clear they would love for us to have phones. Yeah, the immediacy of the phone is, it's an extra couple of steps via Zoom and for us to also get those set up and sent over to us. By the way, today's the last day of Skype. Yeah.

Yes, done. They're pulling the plug on it completely. That's crazy, man. It will be rendered useless. They were like first to the scene. Yeah, they were. The big jump forward for Zoom was a byproduct of COVID. And so in the beginning, and then people bought, I think my neighbor, Phil from Maniac, I think he threw a few bucks into Zoom and made some money off it at the beginning. Yeah, and then they just took off and that was it.

But Skype works just fine. Skype works totally fine. But you had like, you know, like TiVo was like first to the scene and now is that even a thing anymore? TiVo? Yeah. TiVo's, there is a TiVo app. I don't know if the hardware is something. I mean, I had a couple of TiVos. They were kind of a pain in the ass, but they were cool for the time. Yeah. Why are people suggesting on the text board that it might be David Boreanaz? Yeah.

Not an Aurora Boreanaz. A David Boreanaz. There it is, yeah. Who appears in the sky as a red angel. Thank you, Casey, because that one was way over my head. One of my neighbors, Wendy, just texted in and she was wondering that Southerton did have a home game on Thursday night at 6. Was it Thursday night? Yes.

Thursday night at 6.30, but that was around 9.00. Well, maybe. They leave the lights on. But it was just a, it's just red light. Unless they have that, unless that's something new at the high school that they shine this red light up in the air. Like a bat signal. I don't know. I'll have to reach out to the school. Tell me, is there a game tonight?

But anyway, I'm sorry to double back. But yeah, Skype's done. And you're right. It's interesting to see which technologies make it and which ones are improved upon by a different product. And then they take over afterwards. And that's kind of what happened here with Zoom. You can see how they jockeyed for and won the lead position because there's so many software, additional streaming packages. The thing that I do when I stream video with the ConvoGurus or whatever.

Zoom is now built into that software that I use. It's like when something takes the lead that it's inextricable from, you know, like Kleenex becoming the brand. It's become the verb. I'm going to Zoom that person today and you don't really say anymore I'm going to Skype that person. And you did for a stretch.

Jacuzzi was one. Xerox was one. Obviously you don't hear Xerox anymore. Mimeograph. But those were ones that were actual product names and they ended up being used as a noun for the product. What was that thing we were talking about? Was it sounds or people would not recognize? We were talking about sounds that still have transcended the passage of time. People know a record scratch means things coming to a dead stop. Right. But

What is that noise? It's Kathy's guts. Kat's watching a video. Yes, there are some antiquated sounds that even a kid nowadays might know that they might not know that that's a record needle being dragged across record, but it does mean stop. Right, or a reel. As an effect. Tape reel rewinding. Going backwards. Back up, yeah.

These are sounds that have become now, they mean what they are. But no, I'm sure a lot of people don't know where they come from. Like the teletype. Yes, exactly. Yeah. We play the teletype every time you do the music news. How long ago did KYW stop using? They stopped and then they brought it back because people...

didn't like the fact that it wasn't there anymore. I don't know if it's still there or not, but it was so jarring because people were so used to hearing it their entire freaking lives. You know what the reason in music news, Case, can you find the music news sounder? We'll start that. Because it indicates news. Yeah, there's news being generated. Now, Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMMR. And then, there it is. That's it.

Those were actual typing devices that were getting news transmitted and they would print out. That's how we used to get our news early in the press and the C-shirt. I never really even think about it anymore when we're doing music news and I'm playing this. Yeah. What an antiquated sound effect that is. But yeah, KYW for years. When I first moved here 30 years ago...

I remember listening to KYW. I was like, I thought it was silly that they had this in the background. I'm like, really? Really? You're doing that? You're a legitimate news station. You're doing that? But people loved it. And I completely missed it when they got rid of it. I'm like, where's the goddamn sound? How can I know this is news if I don't hear antiquated equipment in the background?

Would it be jarring to you if Music News did not have that running underneath it? It would feel empty to me. I'd want something, some kind of filler. How about the music from Two Girls and a Cop? Underneath that? What, during Music News? During the news. Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMMR. Hang on.

We just play this instead. Yeah, that's good. I could do music news for you right now. Wow. I got it. Is this like a tease? Here you go.

Neil Young has announced that a new album, Talking to the Trees, is on the way. And with that announcement came the release of the second track for the... No, it doesn't sound right. I don't like it. I don't like it. I'm just thinking about poop and barf. We're going to scrap that idea. In fact, we're going to scrap this whole break. We're going to take a break and come back in a moment because it is time to do that. We need to stay on time. By the way, who won the Kentucky Derby? Me.

What was the name of them? Sovereignty. Sovereignty. All right, so we are going to take a break, though, because we've got to stay on time for 20 Money, which is coming up at, of course, 8 o'clock, your first shot at winning $1,000. And we are also, when we return, we're going to reveal the totals of Kathy's Cuts 2025. Yeah. Totals and all that good stuff, which we had last Friday and was a tremendous success. So we'll take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. The bizarre foul stories are on the way, too. So hang out for a moment. We will not be gone long. We'll be right back.

So days after claiming a $167.3 million Powerball jackpot, a Kentucky man is behind bars, charged with kicking a cop in the face during a melee at an oceanfront hotel in Florida. You would think that money would turn your life around. Right? James Farthing, a 50-year-old ex-convict.

was arrested Tuesday evening on felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with a fracas at the Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach. Farthing was at the resort with Jacqueline Fightmaster, his 42-year-old girlfriend. Well, there you go. She might be the problem. Farthing and Fightmaster appeared Tuesday at a Kentucky Lottery press conference announcing...

The Powerball win, which Farthing is splitting with his 77-year-old mother. And on Tuesday evening, one day after posing with an oversized jackpot winner check, Farthing punched a male victim in the face during an argument at the Tradewinds, cops say. And subsequently to that alleged battery, a sheriff's deputy sought to break up an in-progress fight between Farthing and another patron. So while interceding in the brawl, Deputy Nicholas Aristotelio

reported being kicked in the face by Farthing after reviewing body-worn camera footage. Aristagios stated that he, quote, observed the defendant winding up his right leg and kicking him in the face in an attempt to, quote, injure and or incapacitate myself.

Arastasio said the kick caused him, quote, pain in my face and resulted in swelling and redness under his right eye. After being kicked, the deputy ordered Farthing to turn around, place his hands behind his back. The defendant refused to do so and attempted to flee on foot out of the hotel. Simultaneously, Fightmaster...

Fightmaster. Was actively engaging in an argument involving other guests and her boyfriend and was trying to, true to her name, fight the other patrons at the bar. When you just want a crapload of money and announce it to the world, you don't want to give people a reason to sue you. Yep. Busted for causing a disturbance, Fightmaster appeared very intoxicated and was yelling, screaming, and making incoherent statements. Rhymer. Farthing.

was booked into the county jail early Wednesday morning for battery on a law enforcement officer, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts. While bond has been set at $10,000 on the Florida felony rap, Farthing remains behind bars due to a Kentucky parole violator warrant. Flag him. Kentucky's Department of Corrections issued the warrant in response to Farthing's new arrest and the fact that he had left the state without the permission of a parole officer. On the positive side, he'll have money to pay for lawyers.

Farthing's supervision in Kentucky stems from his conviction and 14-year state prison term for an assortment of felonies, including theft, receiving stolen property, drug trafficking, promoting contraband, escape, tampering with physical evidence, and endangering...

engaging in an organized criminal syndicate as well. I'm guessing his story won't be one of the inspiring ones they include in the commercial for the lottery. Farthing was granted parole in March 2014, but subsequently returned to custody three separate times for violating terms of his release.

He was last paroled in September 2023, and his term of supervision is scheduled to end in late August 2025. He's just a piece of work. Hey, you just won $163 million. What are you going to do? Kick a cop in the face. That's what he did.

All right, here's a follow-up for you. Kevin Markwood, the 20-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates fan who fell off a 21-foot wall past Wednesday at PNC Park, is awaking, making progress as of Saturday, according to his family. It's horrifying to watch that. Markwood was the center of a haunting scene during a Pirates game against the Cubs where the crowd fell silent as team trainers and emergency medics attended to him. He was motionless after flipping multiple times in the air before hitting the ground.

I was eventually taken off the field in the stretcher and rushed to Allegheny General Hospital. His girlfriend said that he was improving but still had some healing to do. She said he still has a long road ahead of him, but today brought a moment of hope that we'd all been holding on to. As of Saturday evening, a GoFundMe had raised $28,000 for him. The exact circumstances of the fall remain unclear beyond what was captured in grainy video. Witnesses said that Mark Wood was excited about

that the pirates were rallying, leading him taking off his shirt and pouring beer on himself before an Andrew McCutcheon at-bat. And it's unclear how he procured a beer. He's only 20 years old. The GoFundMe organizers defended Mark Wood's character and requested compassion for a young man who is still seriously injured. So he's improving. He's getting a little bit better, they're saying.

All right, a Lancaster man is facing multiple charges after police say he burglarized a church while completely naked. Again with the naked. According to Lancaster Township Police. Corey Calderwood, 34 years old, was arrested on multiple charges including burglary, indecent exposure, possession of a controlled substance, and drug paraphernalia. Where do you put your thief masks when you're naked? Police say that officers responded to reports of an act of burglary around 11.36 a.m.,

Officials on the scene located Calderwood, who is seen breaking into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while completely nude and under the influence of methamphetamine. Jesus Christ. Calderwood remains in Lancaster County Prison awaiting a May 19th preliminary hearing.

All right, and then one last story. A UK man has been given a suspended prison sentence for admitting to setting fire to his own home twice in one night just so he could see firefighters in action. Oh, man.

Twice! So, arsonists are obsessed with fire, but 26-year-old James Brown... Oh, wow. ...has been described as having an obsession and a fascination with firefighters rather than fires. In an ideal world, he would be a firefighter himself, but things didn't work out that way, so he just settled for admiring firefighters from a distance and calling the fire department incessantly. When that wasn't enough anymore, he moved on to setting his own house on fire to see them in action. So, they were sent to his house...

After the owner... That's how he makes the call. Oh, it's him again. Called emergency services to report a fire. He said sparks were coming from the electricity meter and some of his textile bed linens in a cut board had caught fire. They put out the small fire and they disconnected the electric supply. Only 90 minutes later...

He once again called the fire department to report another one. The second time, they put out betting that it caught fire, only to ask why this happened. And he said it was the electricity meter, but that didn't make sense because they had disconnected it. And so they started to suspect that the fire had been started deliberately. According to court records, James Brown, 15,

the firefighters as they rushed to put the fire out and seemed quite enthusiastic by the presence on his property. Fire Captain Little Richard. A simple background check showed the 26-year-old man had called the fire department 80 times in the previous 12 months. Wow, man. And Brown himself eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of

of arson while being reckless as to whether life was endangered. So it was just this guy's thing. Last month, James Brown was sentenced to eight months suspended sentence.

for two years with 150 hours of unpaid work. And his lawyer said he's extremely remorseful. Sure. And is currently seeking help for his obsession. He has refrained from contacting the fire department since his arrest. Well, thank God the system siphoned him out from actually becoming a firefighter. And that is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning.

All right, we are here to recap an event that we had last Friday. It was tremendously successful yet again. It was the 16th year for Kathy's Cuts. And there's a lot of thank yous to go through as well. By the way, it's sponsored, excuse me, by Live Casino and Hotel of Philadelphia and also DeMores Children's Health. So we have nice sponsors here.

And obviously, True Beauty Concepts in Southampton. They were amazing. Yeah, they're always so great. We've worked with Denise over the years. She's one of the owners. And she just has everything so perfect. She's so organized. And everything is set up for the stylist to come in. And they just kind of roll their bags in with their stuff. And it was all ready to go. And then Gravity Hair Salon and...

Vibe Salon in Mount Laurel. Yeah. And so we also had support from Duncan. They had supplied all the snacks and coffee and all that stuff. And obviously wigs for kids, which is what the whole thing was about. The whole thing was about. On top of that. So you guys ready for the results? Yes. Let's hear this. All right. So this year for Kathy's Cuts, there were 80 ponytail donations.

And that brings the 16-year total to 1,567 donations. That is amazing because you've got to realize...

People need to grow their hair long to participate. You can only do so many haircuts. They're not just chopping it. They're giving sort of a cut and something stylish. And so it takes some time to do that. That's an astonishing amount. Kathy, we'd said early on Friday that you had 80...

80 appointments, 81, 82. And everyone obviously showed up and delivered. It's amazing. Yeah, it was really great. And, you know, sometimes you get the women or anybody who, you know, they want to cut it. But once it's cut, it's like they're in shock. I didn't see much of that this time around. I see it every year, but I really didn't see that. Everybody was excited to be there and ready to cut their hair. In years past, there have been some tears on occasion. Not that they're not happy with their style or anything, but it's such a shock. Yeah.

of seeing all that hair gone that some ladies have cried in the past. The one woman who donated, I think it has to be a record, 33 inches of hair. I was like, are you ready? Are you okay? And she was like, oh yeah. She's like, cut it off. She's like, and I'm going to grow it again. And she had no grays in there.

very little. Yeah. And so it was, I mean, it was 33 inches of perfect hair. Think about that. Think about all of the kids. Think about all the people who are whatever the condition is that has them without hair, giving them the ability to live and feel a little bit better about themselves. And then you talk to a number of people, a couple of people, one woman directly dealing with cancer who everyone was tearing up hearing her story. Oh my gosh. She was...

Steve, I was okay when we went on the air, but prior to, like me and the husband were tearing up. And she was so strong and completely fine telling me her story. And they were great. They were such a sweet couple. No, Elliot and Becky. So looking at this number, 1,567 ponytails over a 16-year period, that's almost 100 a year.

Yeah. Per event. That's incredible. Yeah. So the size varied over the years, like when we were at True Beauty and then when we separated and we went to the salons and then we went back to True Beauty. But yeah, I mean. And you lost a couple of years with COVID. COVID. Yeah. I think two years we skipped. Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, you should be very, very proud of that. Yeah. It was a great event and we all love doing it. And the salons were, you know, super happy to be involved. And to commemorate this wonderful achievement.

We have something for you. So this is in honor of

this uh wonderful event so we have this great little award to give oh that's so cute oh my gosh that is pretty awesome right yes that's beautiful i love it and i love the the clear i like when it's the the glass because you know then it doesn't show the dust as much it doesn't show the dust and i don't have to like add color anywhere like this you can place it right in front of your favorite wall yeah yeah and it'll show nice hand that over do you want to take a look again

Do you want me to hand this to you? Just throw it. I'll walk around. It only weighs about 30 pounds. I'll hand it over. I'll hand it over. That is awesome. It's a wonderful little thing for you to keep to remind you of how amazing a job that you do. That's really nice. That's great. Thank you guys so much. And thanks to our MMR promotions team, Eric Simon. Yes, the whole team.

Every one of Eric Simon. Yeah, I mean, he is the team captain. He's the team steward. He's the team secretary. If you're ever at an event and you need some help or want to find out what's going on, grab an Eric Simon and ask him where Eric Simon is. And he is. He's the best. He was there right from the start. He stayed until the end and he made sure everything went smooth. And we did have some MM Army crew members that were there that were

extremely helpful like this isn't an event that you go to and everyone's kind of like standing around giving out prizes everyone is working and running around so thank you to all of them yes for those who don't know our promotion department used to uh consist of a few like three people and then they had assistants and all this stuff and it is now one guy one guy who does all that work and that's eric simon and he he kills it every single time the guy is a hard working dude and

And we only have this little thing called MMRBQ coming up this week. And it's going to hold together. Oh, my God. He's only doing this for a couple of other radio stations. That too. All fine. Kenan's in two weeks. Yeah. And Rodney as well. I mean, Rodney also was there all day with me. And so thank you so much to them. And I just need to say, I want to give one little note because we've noticed this. Actually, we go to lunch afterwards and I get to talk to some of the

the salon owners and the stylists and stuff. And it apparently has happened multiple years in a row. People sometimes think that they can go to those salons and get a free haircut if they're donating to Wigs for Kids. And it creates an awkward situation for the receptionist at the salon. You can't just go to these salons and get a free haircut. You get it at

this event because we put the event on. You can go to the salon and pay to get your hair cut and donate it to Wigs for Kids. That's fine. But unfortunately, the salons can't donate their time and their stylist time every time you want to donate your hair to Wigs for Kids. That's understandable.

One day, one event, you need to sign up ahead and talk to your own. But listen, they know how. You'd have every Wookiee in the place showing up. Right. Well, they know how to cut for if you do want to donate. And, you know, they have salons all over the place. I told you guys Gravity is in Plymouth meeting in Ambler. And then they're opening a brand new location in Flower Town. And then Vibe Salon in Mount Laurel also knows how to do it.

Excellent. All right. Well, thank you, Kathy. Congratulations. Thank you, guys. Yeah. We're going to take a break. We're going to come back in a moment. We've got some guests joining us shortly. Shark Tank, Mike and Michael are going to be joining us from Mad Mutts. They are going to be on. They were backed by sharks. Really cool. Local. And our friends at Build Abundance have something to mention as well. We've got some other things to get to. Be right back. Stay with us. And by the way, the word is charge for 20 money. C-H-A-R-G-E. Enter that now. We'll be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Kath and Yvette. Coming up with some friends of ours, and it's important that you attend. It is coming up on May 14th at the Pump House in Ballot Kenwood, and it is to honor...

the 40th anniversary of Phil Abundance. And it's the Beat Hunger Bash. And we would like to welcome from Phil Abundance this morning, Christine Del Monte. Hi, Christine. Nice to see you. So nice to see you too. Last time I saw you, we were doing tequila shots. Yeah, this was at

the camp out for hunger, Steve. It was the night of our acoustic or was no, it was Quizzo. That's what it was. You guys were tearing it up for Quizzo? Yes. And Christine's like, come on, come on. I'm like, man, I have no actual shots. We started our tequila journey together.

And so now... I remember she was ready to go. I caught her at the beginning of the evening. She was ready to go. Kathy, this is drinking straight tequila, though. This is not margaritas. I know. It's okay. I mean, I don't understand why you thought I wouldn't be into this. No, I didn't. We looked for you. Yeah, I think we did, didn't we? All right, thanks. All right, well, enough about tequila. It was lots of fun. Enough about tequila. Christine, you're here to talk about the event, the Beat Hunger Bash. Yes. So please tell us about that. Yeah, we're really excited.

excited. It's next Wednesday. I can't believe we've been planning it for a long time. We kicked off our 40th year last May with a great big volunteer event and we're going to wrap it up this next week with our Beat Hunger Bash at the Pump House. It's amazing that this organization has been in effect three

for this amount of time. Yeah. It's done so much, you almost, in a way, think, oh, it must have been around longer because so much good work has been done. Yeah, I mean, we were started by Pam Rainey Lawler, who's still on our board today, out of the back of her Subaru when she saw that there was food going to waste here and people who were hungry over there. Yeah. She kind of developed the whole system that we're based on today. She's still part of our board and we're really excited to honor her and her legacy and the impact that we've had in the community. Yeah.

And the communities that we serve for 40 years. 40 years. Wow. All right. And this is one of those events where, I mean, if you want some award-winning food. Yeah. Really, really good stuff. You guys have planned on that. And looking at the top name here, the host chef is a friend of ours, Nick Elme. Yes. So that's a big deal. It's a huge deal. And so we were like, what do we know? We know food. Let's do food. Let's invite people to taste food with us. So we have lots of great chefs lined up.

including our own PCK, which is Philabundance Community Kitchen. We have Chef Kai here today. Yes. He's our executive chef. He brought you a tasting of one of the items that we're going to be serving, which is cheesesteak toasts. I'll read you the description. Yeah, please. It's seared filet mignon, which was donated by Wild Fork, Cooper Sharp melted onions on homemade Italian bread, and a truffle cherry pepper relish. Shut up. I hope I got that right.

It's delicious. That's a work of art. We sampled it a couple weeks ago. They did some tastes for us, and it was so good. They're right back here. Where's the food? Yeah. Right back there. We can give it away. We also have some pretzels from Em Wilson, who is a pastry chef and donating some food in her time to our event. You know, it's funny. It's the case. By the way, you're getting the okay to go and eat. A lot of times at events surrounding Philabundance, if there's food served...

I don't know. I don't know. Yes, it's okay to go eat and have a fine meal because it's all going to a good cause. Exactly. Exactly. And we have like 20-something chefs of a wide range of wide variety of foods. We're going to have some gnocchis, some homemade pasta. We have some beverages that are being donated. There's a tequila donor. So we're really excited about that.

All of it. Well, tickets. How do people get tickets? They can go to our website at philabundance.org and purchase tickets. We only have a few tickets left, but we want the room to be full. So buy it up. Woo, chef. That's got a little kick on it there, man. That's good stuff. Thank you to Kai, man. Very, very yummy. That's a hell of a menu that you're offering. It's a really great menu. We're so excited. And we're just really excited to honor the legacy and the impact of what we've been able to do.

for people over the years and to strengthen us for the years to come. It's funny, years ago when we started the Camp Out for Hunger, we were with, I think, the Greater Philadelphia Food Bank at the time, and they did fine work. But when Phil Abundance became our main beneficiary of all of the efforts...

The way things integrated, they targeted a collection of food, where the perception that things were, there was a plan and people were being reached in whatever quarters they were at and in whatever situation and healthy food and those options and how everything was handled. It was just a quantum leap forward. And you guys have just been upping the game year to year. And it's, I mean, listen, it's a great opportunity.

part of the year is driven by what we're going to do with the camp out for hunger so you know speaking to that by the way uh steve the uh nfl releases its schedule on wednesday may 14th at 8 p.m and uh the reason we bring that up is that um when the eagles release their schedule then we know when we can kind of plan a camp out for hunger because of the geographic space it takes up right in the parking lot in and around xfinity live in the wells harbour center so

Next Thursday, the 15th, we should know a general idea as to when we might be able to do Camp Out for Hunger for 2025. That's exciting. That means you can get drunk. Yeah, totally. Oh, I plan. Like I said, we have lots of great sponsors.

Well, you know, you've heard this every year when we go to camp out. We and we're sitting right there in that complex. And if you look at the link, we serve twice the amount of people who fit in the link on any given Sunday. It's amazing. And we've been able to do that only we're better together. You said we combined with the food bank, you know, all of the people that we work together with internally and externally, our corporate partners, our sponsors, you, you.

Mm-hmm.

Every time, no matter what the situation is. I want to point out that one of our own, Marissa Magnata, is a co-chair on this event. That's right. She's a board member of Phil Abundance as well. So we have a direct connection in that regard. Marissa does all the work for us as far as that's concerned. Of course, yeah. Well, this is great. This sounds like it will be a lot of fun with some great food. And it's taking place at the Pump House in Ballackinwood. Where is the Pump House? Right around the corner.

corner down on um writer's writer's diary thank you yeah right around the corner from here it's it's a beautiful like industrial kind of vibe oh cool um marissa actually helped us find it she and nikki our other co-chair have been really imaginative creative um co-chairs and helped us

Point us in the right direction. Yeah. Is this the brand new place that Nicholas Elman just built? Yeah. Okay. So you have Lark and you have Landing Kitchen and that hotel. Which are awesome. Yeah. And now this is a facility that was built strictly for galas and receptions and stuff like that. It's a really cool space. There's a speakeasy. So we actually have a friend here today. Yeah. And this is Phil Abit. This is our mascot, Phil Abit. It's a beet. Yes. People are like, what's the radish? We're like, no, it's a beet. Yeah.

And Phil has a question. Okay. Do you see Phil's sign? It says, will you go to bash with me? We're bash proposing. You've heard of promposing? Yes. It's a bash proposal. Bash posing, yeah. We are inviting the whole team to come down. The whole show? The whole show. Come on us. Oh.

And get some food and taste all of our delicious... Well, it's right around the freaking corner. We have to go. Question. At any point, just for the mental sanity of the person inside that, did you ever entertain like an asparagus spear or something that could fit through a door? No.

Great idea. I'd send another mascot design in production. I love it. You could call him Asparagus. Asparagus. Yeah, yeah. I love it. I like that. That works. I love it. Or...

Rita Vega. Rita Vega. We were working on a squash once, too, because squash hunger beat hunger. But B makes the most sense. I get it. You're beating hunger. So we would love to do that. That's awesome. We're excited. Thank you. We will absolutely promote this event. Tickets available at philabundance.org.

get them while they are available because this is a big deal with a lot of great food, a lot of great restaurants and Nick Elmy's behind it and all that. Yeah, yeah. Excellent. Well, we are happy to get the word, Christine. We'll get the word out to you. Thank you so much. Thanks for having us on and thanks for everything you do for us. You got it. It's here for Christine Del Monte.

And thank you to Laura and Amy and Chef Kai and Sadie and Haley who are all here this morning too. And we very much appreciate that. So we're going to move on to a couple other things. But thank you guys. Thank you. Good to see you fill a beat as well.

There is a piece of music I want to play for you guys. And in fact, I need to find out who sent this because I got this randomly. It was just sent to me, although it's for all of us. Is this the name right here, Press? At the very end, if you look at what's highlighted. That's not the thing that I want to play. Oh, shoot. Okay. It is. Hang on, Casey. Let me take it from here.

Oh, it's right there. Sketchy Rufus? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Oh, there's two different things that Sketchy Rufus said. Well, Sketchy sent me just a short text and he said that

He took the audio from the time we had Cracker Carl on. Cracker Carl! Which is this guy. Boxes of crackers. And he said I was bored, and I wanted to put it to some metal music. Oh, awesome. And so he created this song. It's just a little over a minute long. And I thought I would play it for you guys. So, you ready for this? Yes, please. All right, here we go. Tomorrow. Good to see. Well, well.

My wife and I moved here in 1980. 1980. 1980. Seven trick-or-treaters since we've been here. 1980. Do you think you might have had more were you to wear pants? We live in the country. 80 bucks.

We live in the curve of it. We live in the curve of it. We live in the curve of it. Oh, good to see you. Hey, Carlson. Hey, Carlson.

Happy to see you too. And that's it. That's terrific. Is that not great or what? That's so good. I would like, you know, we haven't encouraged anything like that in a long time. Right. Taking moments from the show and maybe, and especially now, it's so simple to do with things like GarageBand or whatever you may use for editing. But for people to just, we haven't had homegrown Preston and Steve subsides.

songs in a long time. We used to do it, yeah. It'd be nice to get a resurgence of that because we end up using that stuff for years. Yeah, and you don't have to, it doesn't have to be original music that you write or you don't have to sing and perform a song, but I miss the little remixes of moments from the show and you know what? Have at it. If you want to do that and we like it, we'd love to play it on the air. I love that stuff. Yeah.

I don't know what this other one is. I mean, I was hoping that maybe it was the Australian Twins, but I don't know. Oh, it is. Is it? Marissa says thumbs up. Oh, let's hear that. All right, here we go. And by the way, all these creations don't have to be like speed metal or anything like that. If you want to, that's fine. But let me go back to the beginning here. Run, he's got a gun. I think that's it. Hang on, wait.

Good to see you. Hang on. At the end of the Cracker Carl one, I love the end of that. Happy to see you too. Happy to see you too. See you too. See you too. It's terrific. Well, thank you for creating that. We do appreciate it.

All right, hey, something completely off topic. I wanted to bring this up to you guys. It was a Reddit thread that I saw. And they had asked the question,

What is a cheat code that you have discovered in real life that actually works? A real life cheat code. Yeah. Yeah. There were more than 9000 people shared their answer. So they kind of boiled down and came up with some interesting responses. And these are things that you can just use maybe to make your life a little easier. And if you would like if you if if you hear this and it sounds similar to something that's a mantra of yours, go ahead.

or an idea and you want to share it with us, then text in. Zoom with us if you would. If you want to text, that's fine too. But if you want to Zoom, you can text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333 because we would like to hear from you. And eventually we get our phones back up and running and make it even easier. We think of cheat codes a lot of times with video games. We think of hacks a lot of times are referred to. So this is similar. I love stuff like this, especially if they work.

Yeah, and so these are basic ones. These are almost just like...

interacting with other people all right so this one said uh thankful people get more invites more gifts and more everything so take five seconds and thank that friend for inviting you over or for helping out with xyz it's five seconds of effort and you get return on it yes so being thankful if you appear grateful people respond to that and they want to do that again here's another one you

You'd be surprised what people will do for you if you just ask. They'll touch it. He said, would you touch it, please? Just touch this, please. He said, this person says, my mom was really big on you won't get what you ask for. So I grew up with a lot of practice just asking for what I wanted. And when I took this to the real world, people were always shocked at how just asking for something nicely...

I can get you exactly that. It's the phrase, you won't get what you don't ask for. That's what I've always heard. Or the answer is always no. Yes. Right. If you don't ask. Yeah. All right, here's another one. It says, listen, just listen. People love to talk. I'm sorry, what'd you say? And you will learn a lot about who people really are, whether that's positive or negative. So if you kind of pull back and just listen,

Take a moment to listen to what people are saying. Good lawyers do that. I understand that's a tactic. A lot of information. They always say, listen to people when they tell you who they are. All right, here's a more interesting, a little less than just being a good person type of thing. Piss on them. No, this is like a hack, a real-life hack, this person says. When you order food in a line, like at Chipotle. Yes, yes.

Just stand there and watch them and don't move on quickly.

They will put more food in there if you watch them do their job. If you stand there and watch during the preparation in a place where it's visible, like Chipotle, they will put more. I've heard this before. I think this probably stands to reason, right? I also heard that they hate it when you point at what you want, right? So you're like, okay, I want the white rice and the black beans and the barbecue. That's a whole Gary Goldman bit. Is it? You're right. You don't need to point. They know. They've been working there for a while. They know where the corn is.

I wonder if that's true. It's totally true. I've had situations, though, where you're ordering something at a bakery, no, this one. This, where you actually have to point. But at Chipotle, they don't need to know where the salsa is. You don't need to point it out to them. All right, so let me ask you about this, because I will point if I'm picking out, like, you know...

fish or something like that that's in a counter. And it's kind of hard to explain which one you want. And you're pointing and they have a different perspective. They're on the other side of the counter. You're moving your finger around.

What I will do is if I see a shadow, if my hand creates a shadow in the counter, I will move my shadow to where it is. Now, that means that my hand could be over here and the thing I'm pointing to is over there. But I will move so my shadow, in this case, you got my shadows here on the paper. I would like it for the word lesson if I wanted to point to it. I wouldn't go like that. I would have it so that.

the shadow may i recommend something just keep a laser pointer that's a good idea right on your neck there you go that salmon that cod that perch that one right there wrap them up bitch also um i want to go back to something you said earlier you're talking about listen because it's not just listening to the words that are coming out of their mouth but how they are saying the words that are coming out of their mouth because i will say i went to go grab some food uh on friday night

And the person at the counter, you could clearly see that she was, I think, in a moment where she maybe was a little bit overwhelmed. There were items that weren't there. And so she was really stressed out. And so she sort of took it out on me, but I knew she wasn't taking it out on me. So I wasn't just listening to the words that she was saying, but how she was saying it. Where was this again, Casey? I want to tell you because it's a client. But I'm saying it. But at first, it was...

sort of unpleasant. Okay. And I didn't allow that to make me be unpleasant back, right? So I was like, oh, no, no, that's fine. I'm like, I'll just wait, you know? And I was like, oh, it seems like you guys are really busy right now. I'm like, no, I'll just wait.

wait. And then her whole demeanor changed. And then she ended up loading up my dinner with a lot of food or whatever. But I'm just saying, it's not just what they're saying, but how they're saying it. Okay. Yes, I can get that. We have a person on Zoom. I believe we have Tom who wants to comment on a hack or cheat code, whatever, something that works in real life. Hey, Tom, how you doing, man? Good.

Good morning. How you guys doing? Good. All right. It says you're a CPR trainer. Have you, have you the one who's offered to do it for us? Yeah. I offered you some free CPR lessons. Cool. Oh, good. Good to see you. We,

We got to take you up on that at some point. All right, so what's up? What do you want to share with us as far as a good cheat code? One that actually works. So, a cheat code that my entire family has been instilled in since we were children by my grandmother. And all you have to say is remember, and then once you say it, the rest of us will repeat. Do good work and keep smiling.

As long as you set out every day to do good work and do nice things for people with a smile on your face, you always get a positive reaction. So do you repeat that actually as a mantra in the morning? We say to each other, my kids every morning before I send them out to school, I say, remember, and they'll say, do good work and keep smiling. Great idea. Yeah. All right. Now, what's that thing on your arm? We're looking at you via Zoom. What is that? Oh, my God.

I got yesterday at a convention in Philadelphia, four touchdowns in one game. Oh, okay. So that's Al Bundy. I was wondering who that was. That was from Polk High. He scored all those touchdowns. Wait, did you have that done? Was that done on the Moshaloo or on? The warship. The warship. Yeah. Troy did put that together. It was like a smaller tattoo convention on the Delaware River yesterday. And you just got that? Last minute. And you just got that?

Yep, I got that yesterday by a guy named Flip Shades. I mean, looking at it, it looks like a piece of paper. It's like three-dimensional. It looks like it's hanging off your arm. That's wild. He's a world-famous artist for doing stickers that look like they don't even attach to your body. That's outrageous. Preston's describing it literally looks like a piece of paper is just hanging on his arm. I thought you stuck that on there for some reason. Wow. Are you just a really big...

Are you a really big Married with Children slash Al Bundy fan, or why that tattoo? Last year, me and my family won as Al Bundy. My kids, eight and five, were Kelly and Bud. By the way, this isn't on the side of the bicep. This is where people see it when you're walking towards them. It's a large bicep tattoo.

Yeah, that's what he had to see it. That's amazing. That's really, really well done. Wow. On a similar note, did you guys see that NBA player who got put under anesthesia? He had an entire leg sleeve done all at the same time. He had like three or four different tattoo artists. Under anesthesia? He was...

asleep for the whole thing while I think he had like three or four tattoo artists all working on him at the same time. So they did that on purpose so he wouldn't feel all the pain. Yeah. And he could go, wow. You go under anesthesia, it's a little bit of a risk. I know. So to do that for a leg sleeve. Oh, no, it wasn't NBA. I'm sorry. It was a Tank Dell. He was a wide receiver for the Texans. Wow. Interesting. Okay. Well,

Tom says do good work and smile. Yes. That's a big positive he can do. That's a good thing, a good mantra. All right, here's another cheat code according to the responders from this Reddit thread. Promotion within many organizations is so much more about who you know than it is a demonstration of competence.

Call it schmoozing if you want, but you got to recognize that we are relational creatures. We are all biased by relationships and a little rapport can go a long way. That's a given. I mean, you know, you got, that's why the golf is such a popular sport when you're looking to network or those things that put you in proximity to people who can help you. Now that may be the modus operandi of why you're doing it or you're just a naturally gregarious person, but it's part of networking. It's part of,

you know, that process. Yeah, and I had always heard that. Like, coming out of college is not what you know, but who you know. And who you? Well, no, but I mean, that's initially, I guess, to get your foot in the door. But once your foot is in the door, you know, it still exists. You know, it is what, I'm sorry, who you know.

Here's a text of somebody. Here's a cheat code from somebody texting and they said, here you go. Request fries with no salt and you always get fresh ones. That's true. Yeah. I can verify. Yeah. Fries with no salt. Yeah. I mean, because they have to make new ones. Right. They're always salted, right? Yeah.

And then also, same thing, if you order like at a fast food restaurant, a burger, especially ones that are not as customizable, say like Burger King, because you can have it their way. If you order like no pickles or something like that at McDonald's, you're going to get a fresher burger. That is a hack that's useful. Almost always. Yep. What if you order a fries, no fries, will they just give you salt? Guys, fries with no fries, please. Hot fries, hold the fries. Yes.

Here's your salt, sir. Just the way you like it. Here's another one. They say, ask bartenders how they are doing and actually listen to their answer. I get so many free drinks this way. If you just sit and have. Hey, how are you? How you doing? Hey, what's going on? What's up in your world? Hey, come on over here.

here. I remember being at a bar with Leanne and her husband. It was at this bar on South Street. I don't know what I said to the bartender, but she gave me a drink and Leanne, what did you say to her? I was like, I don't know. And he's like, dude, I've been coming here for years and I've never gotten a free cocktail. I was like, well, maybe you should be nice to him. I don't know what to tell you. Wait, did you say Leanne and her husband? Isn't that Chuck? No, no, no, no. Leanne Curtis. Different Leanne. I was thinking the same thing.

Leanne, am I... What's her husband's name? Oh, yeah, Chuck, our program director. Yeah, I think also because, you know, bartenders are routinely the people who hear everyone else. Yeah. So if you provide an ear and say, I'll keep listening as long as you keep pumping me with drinks. All right, here's another cheat code. If you look stressed out...

Is this you? No, no, no. I just thought of something funny. I'll tell you in a minute. If you look stressed out at work all the time, people will think you're busy. Yeah, that's a Costanza thing. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Just look annoyed and it looks like you're busy. We're working hard. Well, I remember Kyle used to say, walk fast.

Kyle Eccle when he was here. Oh, really? Just walk fast. Grab a stack of papers and walk fast. People think you're busy. People think you're busy. That's true. All right, here's what I was giggling about. It has nothing to do with this. All right. But I have to tell you guys about this. Rochelle and I went to a porn shop over the weekend. Oh, nice. It was to buy a gag gift for somebody. And while we were there, we were perusing the sex toys in this shop. And we were like,

And what made me think of it was cheat code. And you mentioned video games. Steve, I've never seen anything like this in my life. It is.

It's something for a guy to stick his thing in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it is... Imagine a PS5 video game controller. Oh, wow. You stick it in through that, and you have the handles right here with the controls... Stop it. ...at your thumbs. I kid you not. How many did you buy? I was... So the unit...

It's a handheld. It looks like a video game controller, but it's got a sleeve in it where your Johnson can go. And then you can control it. Like X, Y axis? With the button. I don't know, dude, but it had the buttons as if you're playing a video game. Wow. What did it feel like? I didn't take it out for a spin. Want to go halfsies? Yeah, right? Isn't that what your buddy does? Yeah, let's go halfsies. Auto suck. No.

And I was like, this is unbelievable. I've never even seen anything remote. And I've seen a fair amount. I don't know, Nick, if you could... I don't even know what to look for. Video game. Male sex toy. No, it doesn't look like that. It literally looks like a PS5. Two handles. Both hands go on it. There's a directional pad on it. I didn't even look. All that stuff is expensive. Crazy expensive.

And way more sophisticated than I realized. Which one felt the best? That's why you got to go halfsies on them. They're so expensive. It's not like I'm going to spend that kind of money. But if we go in halfsies, and I'll clean it before I give it to you. The thing we ended up buying, I think it was called sorority slut. Sorority slut? Yeah. Does that look like an outfit? No, it looks like an Xbox controller. No. It's not an outfit? No. Well, the person I'm giving it to might be listening, so I don't want to give it away. Oh, okay. I got it. Kathy?

We got you. It was for, you know, wigs for kids and all that. But I decided not to give it to you. So you guys can't find that. Okay. It's all good. But anyway, when we said cheat codes, maybe think of that. Wow, man. I'm sorry for diverting our attention. No, that's one controller you don't throw when you're getting angry. But I had never seen that before. Okay. Back to this. Real life cheat codes.

This person says, my girlfriend charges organic produce as non-organic at the self-checkout. It saves us a lot of money over the years. Well, that's kind of stealing. That's definitely stealing. If you hold a gun on the cashier, they'll give you the money in the register. Is that your hack? That's my hack. That's your cheat code. I just found out this great cheat code. Bring a gun. I

I told you guys, I saw at the self-checkout, I saw the woman working at Whole Foods. She busted somebody trying to take fresh fish that was wrapped from the counter and he didn't scan it and she chased him to the door and she made him go back and pay for it. Yeah, man. Fish can be expensive. It's like salmon. He was like, oh, I didn't even

even know. She was like, nope. She didn't even ask for the receipt. She was like, go back and pay for it. I came in with this fish. Busted. This is my support salmon. Two more of these worth pointing out. We're going to have to take a break here in a moment. This one says, stay in a peaceful relationship. It affects every aspect of your life. You don't understand how easy life can be

To be with someone that you can really get along with. Well, why would you leave a peaceful relationship? Because you're a moron. Yeah, right? People sometimes are attracted to toxic relationships. True. Dangerous relationships or whatever. Yeah. And they find them to be more exciting. Why don't you come over? I got that PS5. Danger. But I'm married.

Somebody on a YouTube channel found it. The PS5 Auto song? Yeah, yeah. Is it called the Power Glove? No. Oh, that was Nintendo. That was Nintendo, yeah. That's a good name for a sex toy. Yeah, it is. All right. One last one. And this is easy. It says compliment people.

Not every time you see them, but every once in a while. You're not as big a jerk as I thought you were. And be sincere about it. They will be happy and they will be nicer to you and you will be happier as well. Make them sincere compliments. People don't like to be placated that way. Sure. I have a hard time complimenting

I think, females on... On their jugs? Right? I don't know the right way to say it. Difficult. Yeah, it is. I don't mean this in a bad way, but you're... I have a joke all the time. Complimenting females on their jugs. Right? No, because I just... If you want to say somebody looks nice, how do you do it without being creepy? Well, especially in this day and age, you have to... And I get it. I can get how it can come across. There is something to be said about...

If you're going back to... I don't even know how to say it because I see your dilemma. But someone has brightened up your day in presentation. Can you say, you look lovely today? Is that okay these days? You look lovely today. What a lovely dress.

Well, if you look lovely today, then that's somebody you already know, probably, if you're saying today. Or somebody you see regularly. But are you talking about a stranger or both? Either one. I would say I'm more so talking about strangers, but even people that are familiar. Okay.

If it's somebody you know, I say that saying they look great is a pretty benign way to maybe say, you look great today, man. What's going on in your world? Your jugs are huge and heaving. Thank you. But I think if it's someone you don't know, Casey, if

It's okay to... I think it's easier to compliment maybe their attire, what they're wearing, you know? Right. I love those shoes. Those are great. Your jugs look great in those shades. I love the way your shoes are shaded by your huge jugs. I can hardly see your shoes. Yeah. Can you see those beautiful shoes over your huge heaving jugs? I can't. That's how great your shoes look. Yeah. Hey, that shirt really brings out the color in your jugs. No.

I can hardly see your camel toe. But if it's something physically about them, if you see someone who has extraordinary eyes, those are usually one of the most... And they're above your huge jugs. You want to acknowledge that can come off as creepy. And something you need to remember too, if somebody has beautiful eyes,

Chances are they've been told that many times. You know what I mean? It is so uncomfortable for a lot of people. I think any person to receive a compliment. Men maybe perhaps are less likely to be the recipient of a creepy advance from a guy. So you can understand why it's off-putting to a woman to hear that. So Kathy has a great smile. And do people... Stop it. Come on.

You ruined it. She used to have a great smile. You ruined it. I would imagine people compliment you on that from time to time. Yes. Yeah, I do. And what if it's a guy you don't know and you hear that, are you immediately suspect if they just say, you have a great smile? I'm never, like, I don't mind that stuff. Like, even like the, I mean, the cat calls, that's kind of annoying, but like that stuff never bothers me. Like if it's a compliment and it's, it seems like a genuine compliment, whether they're hitting on me or not, it's still a compliment.

well, nice, thank you, and I just keep going. You know, sometimes, hey, well, and also, can I get your number? No, thanks, you know, and you keep going. But whatever, the initial compliment was nice. You've never been that way. I mean, and I think that's a fair thing. It's sometimes...

Yeah, sometimes it's just simply a compliment and just saying you look lovely today. Yeah, I think as long as, yeah, and you talk about being creepy, just, and this is hard to explain, but like, just don't be creepy about it. Just give the compliment and that's it. And move on. Yeah. Yeah, just let it lie there. Okay, semi-breaking news. We have Amanda and Christopher who...

Who are joining us via Zoom. Yes. And they know about this sex toy that I saw. Oh, yeah. They're going to share with us. All right. First of all, thank you guys for joining us, Amanda and Christopher. Are you guys a couple? Are you friends? Are you what? Have you used this thing before? What's up?

Yep.

What's it called? I think it's called the Blow Station. The Blow Station. Yes! That's it! Yeah! We have a picture of it. That's it. Look at this. Blow Station.

So... No, he's right. So the handles that you would find on a PS5 controller, maybe even like an old Sega Genesis. Yep. So it's on each side of the sucking mechanism. Whoa. Which is called the Zolo. They retail for $280. Whoa! Or four convenient payments of $70 each. Now, guys, fess up. You've got one in the glove compartment right now, correct? Correct.

absolutely not here's a feature that i did not notice because we're looking at a picture of you see it has like a little it has a mount for your phone up on top so that you can watch porn steve yeah yeah while you are using the blow station what were you gonna say alexandra

Or Christopher? Yeah, no, I've got a screen and everything. It says controller style mail, you know. So it spells it all right out there. I'm wondering what the electronic readout on the top is for. Is that for charge? Probably different vibration settings, I would imagine. I'd have to guess. I'd have to guess. It has a lot of customizability. Yeah.

And it has a cup holder at the bottom, Preston. It looks kind of fleshy. No, that's where you put your thing. All right. Thank you, guys. Christopher and Alexander, thank you, guys. You've solved the problem here. We'll be sending one your way. The Blow Station. You can find those at Zolocup.com. Wow. Or I'll give a plug. We went to Adult World. Adult World in North Wales.

Or Montgomeryville. Montgomeryville. Well, okay. Home of the blow station. I only know the one in...

Collegeville. Yeah, for Ridge. Yeah. Yeah, between Ridge and... Yeah, right by the splits. By that chicken place. Yeah, by Specs. Specs. And Austin's. Yeah. Yeah, we were out on the road. Nice. So I didn't do my local adult world. We went out that way, but... No, you want to get as far away from your community so that you don't happen to see, hey, Doug. Yeah. The blow station. I was just picking up a blow station. Yeah. $280. Yeah. Oh, boy. Wow. I mean, honestly, especially since...

Your hands can get the job done and one can hold the phone. So listen and be honest. If no one's home and that thing's there. Absolutely. And it's new and not used and it's yours to do with what you want, you'd have to try that out. I tried it with a possum maker. You would have to try that out. It's too intriguing looking. Absolutely. You know what I mean? Yes. Yeah, right?

That was Casey, by the way. You have to. All right. Anyway. Oh, we're looking at a video of it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Wow. That is. That looks like that might hurt. That might be aggressive. We're looking at this thing. And it's actually shucking clams. We're looking at this thing in motion. I'm less turned on. Oh, my God. Looking at the graphic shot into the hole is a little horrific. This guy's getting his fingers torn off. Wow.

Wow. All right. Oh, they're great. And how did your penis become this long? You know what's interesting? You know what might fit in there? A mozzarella stick. Yes. Yeah, from Mad Mutt. But you need a really big one. Those things are huge. They're huge, dude. I know. That's why I'm saying this thing would work perfectly. It'd probably rip the spreading right off of it. You look like you're looking into the mouth of a Mako shark. Wow. Let's move along here. I'm turned on.

All right. With that, I think it's a good idea that we take a break. Yes. All right. We're going to do that. Which call is going to get one of those? And Mad Mutt's are here. They were selected by Shark Tank, by Shark Lori. How about that? Very, very cool. So we're going to take a quick break. We're going to talk to those guys. We'll be back in just a moment. Make sure you stay with us, my friend.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thanks, Ken. Case, were you, didn't you the other day say something on air about, not perfecting, but pushing the limits of mozzarella sticks or something like that or to another level? Well, I had essentially tapped out on mozzarella sticks. I was like, okay, been there, done that. Haven't had a really decent one in a long time. And then I was at a Delco establishment a few weeks ago.

And guys ordered mozzarella sticks and I kind of echoed the same thing. And they were like, no, no, no, no, no. Try this one. And then I did. And it was like, oh, so mozzarella sticks are back. Technology has changed, right? Absolutely. All right. Have you had these yet? Not yet. Okay. Well, that's why we're going to find out because this mozzarella stick has, or these version have been creating waves. So much so, we talked about it on the connoisseur a while back. Yes.

And now they're being backed by one of the sharks on Shark Tank.

And the company is run by Mike and the other Mike. And we have Mike here this morning. It is from Mad Mud's. Please welcome Mike Hawk. Yeah. What's up? What's up? What's up? How you doing, Mike? Great. Good to see you. You got to be doing great, man. Tired, but amazingly great. Good for you. Good for you. So you guys at Mad Mud's are in the Atlantic City area, right? Yeah. So Mad Mud's, we manufacture out of Atlantic City. Okay. Okay.

And I remember I talked about you guys a while back. There was a story that leaked out about you guys. You remember what the source of that was? I don't even remember. I mean, we've had so many funny slash weird stories over the years. I own Tony Bologna's too. Oh, do you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy stuff. We're always doing weird stuff. But I think Michael Klein...

ran into me in Atlantic City while he was eating Peruvian chicken on the corner over by the warehouse. And we just linked up. And he's like, yeah, what do you got going on? And I was like, oh, we have this whole mozzarella laboratory. He's like, I kind of remember you make mozzarella at Tony Bologna's. And I was like, yeah, no, no, no. This is like a different ballgame. We're manufacturing...

like 60,000 fresh homemade mozzarella sticks every day. He's like, dude, there's no shot. I'm like, okay, let's go. And I brought him into the laboratory and he's like, dude, this is insane. I've never seen like a mozzarella stick lab. And I was like, yeah, yeah. That's what we do.

Listen, I've never tapped out on mozzarella sticks. I mean, the kind of stuff that, you know, you're going to... I'm a sucker for them. Now, you've carried it to a new level. What was the initial lighting of the match moment that made you say, I'm going to carry these to the level that they're currently at with Mad Mutt's? So, you know, I'm from Jersey, and in Jersey, we love our Mutt's, our mozzarella, all things like that, and

For me, I tapped out of mozzarella sticks a really long time ago. I still eat them, by the way. Just like I still eat. I'm like the garbage dump. There's nothing that gets by me. But ultimately, at Tony Bologna's, we started making

We started, you know, pizza subs, you name it. Everyone's like, dude, how do you not have mozzarella sticks? And I was because they all taste the same. They're all made from the same block, low moisture, processed garbage. They bread them up. Maybe one's Italian, maybe one's normal breadcrumbs. And I wouldn't carry my menu around.

So I then started making fresh mozzarella for farmer's markets. I taught myself how to make it. And then I was like, wait, how come there's no flavored fresh mozzarella like truffle or Calabrian chili? And I invented flavored fresh mozzarella. As stupid as that sounds. No, it doesn't.

And then I was like, well, how come these aren't in mozzarella sticks? And the truth is you can't fry fresh mozzarella. It's too moist to fry. It explodes everywhere. You can't handle it. And for a restaurant like Tony Bologna's, high volume, there's no way. You'd have customers mad at you, pissed off all the time. It took me seven years to come up with a process to make the cheese retain its fat, retain its moisture.

All different crazy flavors like the jalapeno popper mozzarella stick. I need that. Jalapeno cream cheesed mozzarella with a pretzel jalapeno crust.

And to get it so that a restaurant like Tony Bluner's or anywhere, now we have thousands of restaurants that buy them and use them, can actually perform on the menu, fry them up, give them to customers. The customer eats them. The customer, like my wife, when I said, oh, try our new mozzarella sticks, she's like, man, I'm not an effing kid. I don't eat mozzarella sticks. They're garbage. I figured I'd try these. She eats the Nona.

Oh, my God. This is like real mozzarella. I'm like, yeah, it's homemade fresh mozzarella that we get from a few farms in upstate New York and Vermont. It's all vegetarian. No process. No garbage. Like, it's real. That's wild. All right. A couple things. Number one, I didn't know the name Mad Mutt's.

Because I say mozzarella. Yeah. So I think I'm pronouncing it incorrectly. No, I don't think so. I mean, I think when I go to Italy, I've been going to Sicily for 20 plus years. And literally, they speak and we have our own Jersey, Brooklyn, South Philly slang where they laugh at us. They're like, you guys are out of your mind. You're literally out of your mind. But for us, it's like, you know, we say, ooh, the mozzarella. That's not how they say it.

by the way, in Italy, but we say mozz. All right, so what I didn't know is it's fresh mozzarella because you guys know the difference. Yes. During fresh mozzarella, when you have it, you know. Generally, when you get mozzarella sticks without any breading on the ones that are cold, you bite into it, it's a

more rigid texture to it. The fresh mozzarella is softer. It's more inviting to the mouth, I think, when you bite into it. And it has a little bit of a different flavor to it as well. So I didn't think about that. That stuff is made in a vat of water. I mean, it just takes in tons of moisture. And you can't add water and oil. I mean, it's just, that's where you get, like you said, it's going to explode. So you managed to create a technique...

Mm-hmm. To where you can bread and fry fresh mozzarella. And not only that, we make different flavors. So like the hottie, it literally is an aged cheddar style fresh mozzarella that we make in-house. It's bright red. It's spicy. Calabrian chilies, 10 different peppers. It almost takes the flavor profile of like an aged cheddar. The outside is bright red. It looks like a flaming hot Cheeto, taco, you name it. It's not. Mm-hmm.

We make them all. It's not artificial. I'm going to try the hot one. Let me try like a... You want the hot hot one? No, no. I don't want to try hot one. You want to like sit in the toilet for the next five days? Yeah, I don't want super spicy. And scream and yell at your kid? Give me what a first timer should try. Try the hottie. The hottie? The bright red one, hottie. It's like a dry... It's like an aged cheddar, spicy Calabrian chili mozzarella. I don't want something crazy spicy. You're not going to hurt yourself. You're okay? You're not going to hurt yourself.

All right. Take it out for a spin. I'm just kidding. You're going to cry. What was the one where you have to sit on the toilet for five days? No. So these are the Lucifers. These are 2.9 million Scoville units. Jesus Christ. Carolina Rebert, Charcoal Cross. No. Check this out. It is...

black mozzarella. Dude, no way. It is from Satan's butthole all day long. But it's actually amazing. It tastes really, really, really good. And people like those? They're petties around. Oh, they love them. We had cacio pepe. What's the pretzel one you were talking about?

I don't know if I have the poppers here. Oh, man, that's the one I want. But I got some Nona's. Pass this around. Yeah, Nona's. These are the trufflers. So we use Urbani truffles from Piedmont, Italy. It's truffle fresh mozzarella. It's truffle batter. It's a truffle panko crust we make in the house. Pass them around. We have the Lucifer's. Yes.

This one's smoky. What's this one? That's the Old Smoky. So we smoke the mozzarella. We smoke the batter. We smoke the breadcrumb crust. The flavor profiles through and through. We want you to catch the Holy Ghost every single time you eat a mozzarella stick. And by the way, my kids, I have a six-year-old and a nine-year-old. The Old Smoky and the Hottie are their two favorites. Okay. You wouldn't think that because they're kids. They want plain garbage mozzarella sticks. No, no, no. That's what they want when they come to Tony Bologna's and other restaurants.

the kids not only eat them, but then the parents are like, oh no, I'd eat these too. Instead of being like, yeah, it's a mozzarella stick. I guess we got to get them for the kids. So the concept of a lab makes sense because you literally had to go against science to make these things possible.

present and cook right. Right now, so you buy a box of these in your home. You can, what, air fry them? How do you prepare them? So we make them, right, so that you can air fry them at home. And by the way, anyone who uses an air fryer, you got to pre-heat your air fryer. If you don't pre-heat your air fryer, it's basically using a garbage microwave that you're hacking. Pre-heat your toaster oven, pre-heat your air fryer, pre-heat your air fryer.

Four minutes at 400 degrees preheated, you have restaurant quality, amazing toaster oven, convection oven. If you're really that hammered at nighttime and it's 2 in the morning and you want to microwave them, I mean, do whatever you want. We suggest you don't microwave mozzarella sticks. All right, Mike, so you got a great product. You know it. People are responding well to it.

Why Shark Tank? What are you hoping to get? Why couldn't you take it to the next level on your own? So, you know, owning Tony Bologna's for now 15 years. We have three locations, Hoboken, Jersey City, Atlantic City. I then had the Mutzrell Laboratory before we created Mad Mutz. And we started gaining interest from like ShopRite, the Ravitz family. They're the ones over in the Cherry Hill area.

We started gaining interest from restaurants in Canada, California, Colorado. We're shipping these things everywhere. And I called my buddy up, Michael Burns, and I said, listen, he owns businesses, real estate investment companies and all this crazy stuff. And he's a very organized person. I'm all over the place. I'm running around like a lunatic.

And I said, listen, we're doing it, but I got to make this a real business. I want to make it a real business. On top of that, we're gaining interest that's forcing my hand to get the job done every day. But there's only so much I can do. And I assume at a certain point, it was eclipsing your original business as it starts to take off. Well, it started becoming a thing where people go into Tony Bologna's in Hoboken or Jersey City and say, hey, I want to buy a case of these. I heard you guys sell them by the case. I'm like, well-

We're in Restaurant Depot. Yeah. And they're like, no, no, no, but I want to buy it here. It's like, no, no, it's two different things, by the way. Yeah, yeah. And it became like really cumbersome. So he's like, oh, let me see what's going on. He hopped in full steam ahead. He's been like, you know, 100% on from his other businesses, two mad months now. And I was applying for Shark Tank at the time. And...

I'm getting buried in paperwork and applications. And by the way, to a regular, normal person, it's probably no big deal. To me, I'm spitting a million plates. I'm like, oh my God. I got to fill out like a five pager. I'm like freaking out. He's like, I got it. Let's work on this together. So he really got together with me. We went through the process of applying for Shark Tank. It was like...

six to eight month process. It wasn't easy. It's like three million apply for the show every year. Then it goes up to 300,000. At 300,000, maybe they put an email out. Then at 100,000, you get a phone call maybe. Then at 30,000, you get a couple phone calls. And then when it gets to 100,000, they take you a little more seriously and ask you for more information. And through that process...

We got under the hood of the business, obviously. We started developing different things and new things to make the business more efficient. Did you guys stand out because you had proven yourself with another business already? Did that help you sort of cut the line a little bit or did that matter at all? I mean, I don't think that they were really looking at that. Like Tony Bologna's and they asked like lifetime sales and what do we do? And I have a farmer's market. We have a food truck at Tony Bologna's.

They weren't maybe so interested in that, I don't think. I think they more liked the product. They liked the brand. Yeah, that's what they go after. The thing that we continuously heard at Tony Bologna is and...

you know, from Shark Tank or whomever, was like, I've never seen flavored mozzarella. And I'm like, well, yeah, I invented it 12, 13 years ago, A. And B, it's really difficult to make. It takes 12 hours minimum to get your mozzarella that otherwise would take 15 minutes in a thing with a bowl and a spoon. It's not an easy thing. And then to then be able to fry it is another arduous task. So between these things, the common theme was like, I've never heard of this.

I want this. And we hear that, by the way, from restaurants. We hear that from people at home. That's great, man. The Ravitz family is like, we want this in our store. And I was like, sure. What do I do? What should I do? I don't know. It's the preparation. It's the perfecting the way you're preparing it. But it's also the package.

chicken how you store it now the instructions that are on the box people don't realize the nine million left okay i got a great product and then the nine million levels that happen after that and plus like i mean the minutiae and the attention to detail on every little thing whether it's

because of the FDA, because of you name it. This is all new to me at least. And going through the process was amazing because I learned a lot and then learned that everyone cooks it in their own way. Even if they deep fried at home, even if they air fried, everyone has their own barometer of what is right or what is wrong. The good news is that we've narrowed it in with our process. And even like nonas, even like grandmas that eat this product,

are literally like, oh my God, this is actually molto buono. And usually I would think they'd be like, no, this is cascifo. What do you know about this, New Jersey? And they're like, wow, this is really good. And Sicily, I bring them to Sicily. They're like, wow, like,

This is really good. So across the, you know, either you're a kid and like the Flamin' Hot Cheetos style stuff or you're an old school grandma, like you can appreciate it. All right. Well, tell us about the Shark Tank experience. They narrow it down. You guys find out you're going to be on the show. What's the next step after that? So basically through a very long and good process, by the way, their whole team and people that, you know, are your handlers, if you will, or your producers, they're really...

and they're with you the whole step of the way. So they don't just leave you out, fill this paperwork. They really want to see you succeed and they want to make sure that you're the right fit for the show, I think is really the most important thing for them. But then basically you get picked to be in the show and you go out to California, you do your filming. We filmed in September.

So I've kept this a secret from September until... Oh, my gosh. Until... Yeah, there's an NDA you have to sign, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. You can't say anything. Nothing. And then we're able to announce that we're going to be on it. So naturally, everyone is like, hey, what happened? And this and that. My kids are at school. Their teachers are like, what happened? And my kids, six and nine, are funny individuals, by the way. They're wild. They're wild.

My one kid was like, oh, that show? The nothing show? I don't know about that. The nothing show. The nothing show. I'm going to ask questions because the presentation that comes in the beginning, you came in as like a crazy scientist and all that stuff. Wearing a big green wig. Is that something you come up with or do they have people help you with that? No, we came up with all those things. I mean, they embraced a lot of the stuff that we wanted to do. I don't think they really pushed back on much. The truth of the matter is,

Clearly there's like the entertainment component of the show and they want something that's worth it.

The other piece is that they make you realize before you open those doors, by the way, you're about to enter the doors. I know you want to be a circus clown. That's what you do. Ha, ha, ha. By the way, this is only a few weeks out of their career every single year. They're real business people that run multibillion-dollar companies. Oh, and by the way, good luck. Hope you get your ish together. And you're like, uh, uh, uh. All right. So as you walk out there, you've never met the Sharks before.

Or did you? Never met him, and they have no idea who's going to be on the show either. Okay, so they don't know. Zero knowledge. Okay. I was wondering what parts of this are legit and what aren't. Oh, no, no. So you walk out there, and when the deal is done, when the handshake is done, and we'll go through how your deal went, but when the handshake is done, that's binding? I mean, like they have to hold to it? I mean, I don't know the specific nuance, but the goal is that

It's binding. The goal is that what you said and what you did, and I'm a handshake kind of guy, so for me, it's like, yeah, this is what we're doing. And for the show to be legit, it would have to. It would have to. They can't go back on anything like that. So I think between those things, what you do realize, aside from anything else, is that

sharks that are up there, they are not there. Like, yeah, there's entertainment value. Obviously, it's good for brand. You name it. They literally are going for a deal or not. These are business deals. And they are serious about asking you questions about numbers, unit economics,

Like, they don't mess around with that. You were up there and everything that's like entertainment value in your stupid wig, almost like... Were you up to snuff? I assume you did a bunch of studying prior to this that you can watch the show and know what they're going to ask you about so you were ready to go. I mean, surprisingly, no. All the preparation that was done, like myself...

and Michael, you know, we own and run the business. Right. So we have to inherently know a lot of things about it. The unit economics, the margins, landed costs, all those things. But then there's other stuff that it's way more high level. Right. That I otherwise maybe wouldn't know about. I did my research on that. I was prepped on that. My partner knows a little bit about that stuff or a lot about that stuff. And luckily we came in there guns blazing and I could

could answer every question they had. I messed up on a couple of things like the nutritional label that Mark Cuban dinged me on. But in my brain, I wasn't thinking about it. I was just like, yo, I want to put together a good package and, you know. If you're just tuning in, it's Mike Hawk from Mad Mutts, the mozzarella laboratory who's here with us and had successfully gone on Shark Tank and got an offer. So when...

When you were going in, what kind of deal were you looking for? Because there's usually a certain percentage of ownership and a certain capital that they want to add. What were you looking for as you went in? Yes, I mean, we had our valuation down pretty well. We understood why it's justified and what we're asking for is reasonable. Ultimately, we put together a package for...

for Lori with a medium t-shirt, sweatshirt, beanie, and hat with her name on it and a note sealed in a box and brought one package to the show in hopes that Lori would be the shark that we could get. That's who we wanted to go for the entire time. Not that Mark Cuban's not the man and Mr. Wonderful is a savage in his own right and Damien John has done his thing, proven time and time again. Barbara Corcoran, I love

Robert Herjavec is a beast. But Lurie to me was like, no, if this is a product that we want to translate for A, the home user, and B...

do a better convincing job that a restaurant can do better and actually can make more money off of this and can utilize these things? Like, who would best translate that and be a good business partner for us? And she kind of had a... She has more of a history with stuff that's at least similar in a way to what you were doing. Yeah, she knows the frozen food section. She's in every major retailer known to Earth. QVC. She's the queen of QVC. You name it. And, you know, in working with her since January now, like...

She's a good person, eh? Yeah. That's how I hire people, by the way. Right. So anybody out there, I'm like, you're the best pizza maker. I'm like, I don't care. You got to be a good person. But if you're a good person, if you genuinely care, and then on top of that, let's figure out how to do better and figure out how to do it the right way. That's awesome, man. And that's our mantra, too. It's not about taking over the world in one day. Yes, we want to take over the world and spread...

mozzarella sticks everywhere for mad months although you know we want to do it the right way and I you know we knew she was the perfect partner from the start and we're confident in working with her since January that she is that so how much money were you asking for and what kind of ownership

We ask for $150,000 for 5%. Okay. Which on paper makes sense. Like that actually is a good valuation for what we do and what we do it. Maybe even undervalued. Ultimately, you know, in going on the show, one part of it's about money, but the other part of it really isn't about money. And there's the intangible thing out there. Yeah.

of someone that understands things like me coming in and showing someone how to make a pizza has never made a pizza like you can mess around for two years try to figure it out or i can come in literally in five minutes yeah i'll show you how to give you the whole playbook and you'll be able to make an awesome pizza right for lori it's same kind of thing you know we didn't want a massive runway we wanted someone that could literally talk the talk walk the walk and stretch the moats yeah and so what'd you get where'd you get

we did $150,000 for 20% actually. So did you have that percentage in mind that there was going to be, we needed some lee room. We probably went higher anyway. I don't know. If it was my partner, I think he would say different. I'm easy. I'm like, I like you. And you like your mozzarella sticks? Oh, wow. This is awesome. Let's do it. I would

I would lose it in negotiating so badly. Oh, Laurie likes it. Let's go for it. She's pleasant. She's attractive. She's got that way about her. And you would buckle. So you get this done in September. I assume everything is now in motion. And how's it looking? How's sales been? How are things progressing? It's been absolutely crazy since then. We're getting tens of thousands of direct-to-consumer orders via our website, the ships, or our lead time now.

Actually, we're clearing our plate this week, so it should be good. But a lot of packages shipping all over the world, by the way, not just the U.S. We started at the Ravitz Family Shop Rites, which is like Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill, Marlton, Evesham. Awesome family, by the way. Awesome stores. They then helped us get into and work through the system. Now we're with the Shop Rites in...

Summers Point, Marmora, Rio Grande. We're expanding through their store system. Also, awesome family. And then we have interest from a lot of places. Actually, I'm leaving here and going to DeBruner Brothers. Really? Which is insane. I've eaten and bought stuff at DeBruner Brothers for years. Yeah, it's insane. So we're meeting with them. And then after that, we're going out to somewhere else. And the interest is wild. It doesn't matter where it's coming from. It's coming fast. We're shipping pallets out to

Colorado for distributors, California. Dude, you guys are tailor-made for like Costco and stuff. When you hit that, that'll be boom. There's a lot of crazy stuff in the works. But again, we really want to make sure that the saying is, I guess, crawl before you walk, walk before you run, and all that stuff. Crawl the right way. You don't want to... Because that's...

We've seen through all the years that we've done this show and we've had businesses come through and we've seen them. They have a great idea and they start to take off and they go too fast and then they collapse or they try to add too many side things and then they collapse. But obviously you're with the right person who's going to help guide you away from that. But let me ask, is there, with mozzarella sticks, is there the evolution or is there another product you have in the queue that you might be working on as well? My brain is like a demented hamster on a wheel. Oh, man.

that maybe is drunk too, that is running around like an absolute maniac. So the answer to that is absolutely yes. There are so many products in the pipeline, flavor profiles, you name it. A lot of stuff that people want. I've, over the years, thrown it out there and would work very well. Although, right now, we are focusing on our current lineup. We're going to do some seasonal flavors that we have lined up. And to us, it's like,

The mozzarella stick has been so static for so long. And even with people that, even Tony Bologna's, we would take the block and test it. I never put it on the menu because I couldn't bring myself to it because it wasn't great. And different flavors and different profiles. But ultimately, it's been so static for so long. And people are so used to this.

cheese glue block that's been cut up. It's true. No, you're right. I just had, listen, I was just going to taste one. I ate all three that were in the box here. I'll tell you this, to bite a mozzarella stick and there's moisture. Yeah.

and that there's actual and there's a difference in taste. That's amazing. They are phenomenal. Yeah, no, I agree. It's next level. Definitely. Wow. All right. So it's exciting. A restaurant has them on their menu that I didn't even know had them on their menu. I go into a place. I'm going to eat pizza. What do you do need pizza? You're Tony Bloney. I love pizza. I'll eat pizza anywhere. And then the sticks come out and I'm like on the menu. Wait, wait,

Oh, my God. Mad mutts. And then it comes out and they cook perfect. And I'm like, hey, by the way, like, you know, I make those. It's amazing. And they're like, oh, we love them. Oh, my God, they're so much better. Our customers like me. And I'm just like, wow, like that is freaking amazing. Well done, man. Well done. Thank you. This is so cool. And I love that your focus is on good people and all that. That means the world.

And I'm happy to hear that Lori's a good person, too. So that's really cool. They all seem cool, by the way. All the sharks. Nice. All right, well, listen, we got to take a break. But, Mike, we're very happy for you. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. You're a passionate guy, we can tell. And we're happy that you're taking off to the next level. That's awesome. All right, give some love to Mike Hawk, guys. Hey!

Mad Mutt's Mozzarella Laboratory winners. I guess you call them winners on Shark Tank. Yeah, winners, yeah. That's awesome, man. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be back in a moment. Thanks, Mike. Appreciate it, buddy. All right, stay with us, gang. We'll be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Alrighty, why don't we share some Bizarre File stories. Now, WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. And it's brought to you by Pro Team Collision. If you find yourself in an accident, trust the pros of Pro Team Collision. Your trusted auto body repair shop located in King of Prussia. Go to ProteamCollision.com.

We'll start with this one. The Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles had an unexpected visitor on Friday. Video posted to social media Friday afternoon showed a small aircraft making an emergency landing on the historic club's golf course in Pacific Palisades.

While the landing was bumpy, the plane and its occupants appear to be unharmed. Planes will land from time to time on golf courses when they are having problems. It's your best chance to meet Harrison Ford. This one, I don't know if you saw the video or not, but these guys were playing on that hole. Yes. As this thing comes down and lands on it, I mean, it's like right there. I've never seen footage quite like that before. Preston, at a certain point, you can hear them start to go...

like it's heading towards them. The guy hits a bump and then turns around, but you're right. It's literally on the whole of their plane. I thought it was a toy plane at first. A lot of people did, because in the distance it looks like it. So the plane was scheduled to land at Santa Monica Airport a few miles southeast from Riviera, and first responders from both

The L.A. Fire Department and Santa Monica Fire Department reported arriving on the scene shortly after. Like I said, golf course landings are not uncommon with planes that need to make emergency landings in urban areas due to the open terrain and relative lack of people. One of the most famous instances of that was when actor Harrison Ford, as Steve made reference to, made a rougher landing at Penmar Golf Course, which is right next to the same Santa Monica Airport. Wow.

Friday's landing also wasn't even the worst airplane mishap of the day in the L.A. area. A different plane crashed into fencing after a shoot in the runway at the Fullerton Airport. Riviera Country Club is the annual site of the Tiger Woods Foundation's Genesis Invitational. They've hosted three majors there, so it is a really nice golf course. That just so happened to be the spot where this guy decided to land. It's pretty... Kathy, did you see this footage? No, I didn't see it. Watch this. So these guys, we're looking at it right now. I mean, it comes right...

Right up by the green where they're hitting their putts. Goes through where the golf carts are and slides into a bunker. It was a good landing. And levels off. Yeah, it's amazing that they ended up that smoothly. At this point, just put a friggin' runway on these things.

In York County, Pennsylvania, OSHA is investigating the death of a contractor that reportedly fell from the roof of the Utz Potato Factory in Hanover. Officers responded to a call claiming an individual had fallen approximately 25 feet off of the factory roof. The coroner's office responded to the scene. Utz issued a statement after the incident saying that a third-party contractor working on site suffered a fatal fall. They said, "...our hearts go out to the individuals, families, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time."

The coroner's office said a subcontractor was setting up scaffolding to do work on the roof when he fell through a skylight into a loading dock area. Horrifying. The name of the victim and their employer was not immediately available. And the coroner's office only identified him as a 34-year-old man. An autopsy is set for today.

So driverless trucks are officially running their first regular long haul route. No. I know. Making round trips between Dallas and Houston right now. On Thursday, autonomous trucking firm Aurora announced it launched commercial service in Texas under its first customers, Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor Lines, which delivers time and temperature sensitive freight.

Don't we get a vote on this? I don't want this. I don't want to be Sheryl Road with giant tractor trailers. Well, there's a new company called Dear God It's Not Stopping. Listen, the places where they're testing it,

I've heard arguments. There's too much to go into right now. But regular drivers get into accidents as well. Truck drivers do. And they're playing the percentages here. We'll see in time what happens. I also think that... Who made this decision? I also think that that's a job somebody could have driving a truck. Both companies conducted test runs with Aurora, including safety drivers to monitor the self-driving technology dubbed Aurora Driver. Aurora's new commercial service will no longer have safety drivers...

The CEO, Chris Urmson, said, we found Aurora.

to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. And now we are the first company to successfully and safely operate commercial driverless trucking service on public roads. This is really going to impact a lot, Lizards. The trucks are... Yeah, are we not thinking about the ladies? Can't give a handjob to a computer. The trucks are equipped with computers and sensors that can see the length of over four football fields in four years' practice.

Hall's The Truck's technology has delivered over 10,000 customer loads. And as of Thursday, the company's self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck. Aurora is starting with a single self-driving truck and plans to add more by the end of 2025.

So, yeah, Case, I feel a little bit uncomfortable with that, too. So here's the thing. You're on a highway and you're booking along. And if you know the vehicle behind you coming up from behind is controlled by a computer system or a human, what are you going to prefer? I'd prefer having a human. Yeah. But then would I even know? Well, these things only they won't go over the speed limit.

They stop at every stop sign. Do you know what I mean? They're supposed to. They're not going to call it audibles. But that's also annoying. Yeah. No, I know what you mean.

All right, and then we'll do, let's see. Yeah, we got time for one more story, and then we will wrap it up. Let's end with this one. James Lale and Kelly Ann Jensen's sprawling $9 million mansion in Sandy, Utah is a kind of luxury home out of reach to the average American, but not the long arm of law. U.S. Marshals arrested a couple at their 27,000 square foot property. 27,000. As part of a multi-state raid that same day, authorities raided James Jensen's

company, Royal Terminals, in Rio Hondo, Texas, near the Mexican border. So the couple, along with sons Maxwell and Zachary, have been indicted for money laundering. They are accused of running a $300 million money laundering scheme, allegedly smuggling crude oil from Mexico. Jesus.

And the federal indictment outlines a complex scheme dating back to May of 2022. Documents state that the Jensen's bought 2,881 shipments of crude oil and they brought it into the U.S. falsely labeled as waste of lube oils and petroleum distillates. What would happen if they got into the mozzarella business? The Jensen's are accused of directing payments for the crude oil to Mexican businesses that operate through the permission of Mexican criminal organizations.

And court documents alleged that James Jensen was aware that the payments he made were going to Mexican criminal organizations. The monies and assets gained from alleged activities were subject to forfeiture. And they, along with the oil tanker's second property and new cars and money in their bank accounts, that will all go to forfeiture and the assets collectively gone.

Total $300 million. To be honest, I'm still railing at 27,000 square feet. I know, dude. I went into a 10,000-foot house one time by accident when we were first looking for homes, and they sent us to a 10,000-square-foot home, and Claire and I busted out laughing. Like, you got to be kidding. 27? Three times the size of that. And I saw a picture of it. It's ridiculous. Yeah, here's the picture. Oh, my God. Yeah. Look at this. What are you going to do? What?

That's a museum. Yeah. That's what that is. We only have 29 more rooms to fill up. Yeah. And they only had to launder $300 million to get it. Remember, play it low key. You don't want to stand out. All right. And that's what I have in the Bazaar file for you this morning. All right. So it's 11 minutes after 10 o'clock. We've still got some time.

to get $1,000. And that is through Preston and Steve's 20 Money. And all you have to do is enter the keyword. It's expense, E-X-P-E-N-S-E. So make sure that you do that right now. Don't want you to miss your opportunity. When we come back, we're going to get a lesson question, trash music news, and with music news, we are announcing the winners and performers for live band karaoke for the MMRBQ this weekend on the Preston and Steve Show side stage. We'll have it all when we get back. Stay with us.

Well, it turns out there's a website that does all that.

WMMR.com and it's always available like right now on your computer or phone or whatever. Wow. What a time to be alive. Now back with more of the Preston and Steve show podcast.

Third Eye Blind on 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks. 10-23. Monday morning. President Steve's show. Weather. Chance of rain next several days. It's just, I don't have better, I don't have more specific details for you other than sometimes it's going to rain, sometimes it's not.

So... Well, there's some good news. Kind of keep an eye out. I mowed my lawn on Saturday, Preston. Oh. So I got that in before the rain. Under the wire. Nice. All right. Temperatures are going to be in the low to mid 70s pretty much through the week. So that's what we have, friends. All right. Lesson question time. And by the way, if you think you're going to know the answer to this text word Zoom right now, 610-660-9333. We're going to send you this daily link to be able to Zoom with us. And we are going to give away...

Excuse me. Oh, shoot. Sorry. I hit a button and I wasn't supposed to. Okay, start over. The prize we're going to give away is a pair of tickets as MMR rocks. Theo Vaughn at Wells Fargo Center, Wednesday, July 9th.

And so the question that we ask is this. Casey has a hard time complimenting women on their what? It's what Steve said, but it's what Casey was getting at. You got to be specific here, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a certain word. Yeah. It's only four letters with the with the plural added to it.

Casey has a hard time complimenting women on their what. All right, let's see if you heard it. And if you know, if you do, text word Zoom 610-660-9333. If you already have that Zoom link, go ahead and click on it. And we'll see if you end up winning. The trash business is a gold mine. 93.3 WMMR.

with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, we'll get right to it. Steve, what are them stories today? Well, as you pointed out earlier, Preston, Gigi Hadid has made her relationship with Bradley Cooper very official by posting a picture of her planting a solid, sexy kiss on his lips. Until now, the only PDA pic of the two appeared to show either finger blasting or the sizing of a bowling ball. Oh, Mike.

God. Former American Idol runner-up and current Queen frontman Adam Lambert listing his Los Angeles mansion for $8 million. In a related story, singer Chris Allen, who won American Idol the year Adam Lambert competed, just purchased a hot plate. And

And finally, veteran sports anchor Mike Trico had to step away from the Kentucky Derby coverage after an allergic reaction to peanuts. Trico reportedly ballooned up so much that a jockey mistakenly mounted him. That's a horrible trap. Hi.

We will indeed see if someone happens to know the answer to today's lesson question. And we pose this to you, Casey. Had a hard time complimenting women on their what? And you had to have heard that earlier in order to take a chance at that.

answering this question and maybe walking away with a cool prize. So if you happen to know that Casey had a hard time complimenting women on their what? Okay, I'm done. I'm dragging it out. At some point, I just run out of gas or I'm just repeating myself. Marissa's holding up her index finger. It means that we now have Jennifer that we will talk to via Zoom. Hi there, Jennifer. Morning, how are you? Wonderful, Jennifer. All right, so Casey has a hard time complimenting women on their what?

They're junk. They're junk. You got it, Jennifer. Hold on just a moment. And we'll get your information and we will give you tickets as MMR rocks. Theo Vaughn at Wells Fargo Center Wednesday, July 9th. Tickets go on sale this Friday. So you're winning them before you can buy them. That's through Ticketmaster. And for more information, you can go to WMMR.com.

at pacareerlinkdelco.org. All right, so I'm going to reveal our winners at the end of music news for live band karaoke. So let me get a couple of stories first, and then we will get to that. Neil Young has announced a new album is on the way, Talking to the Trees.

And with it, the announcement came the release of the second track from the project. The 10-track album will be the first studio album featuring Neil's new band called The Chromehearts. Big Change was released back in January. Let's Roll Again uses Woody Guthrie's melody to This Land is Your Land and cranks it to 11, taking swings at Elon Musk along the way. Other titles include Family Life, Dark Mirage, Fire, Fire of Winter, Silverback,

Silver Eagle, let's roll again. Big changes, talking to the trees. Moving ahead, bottle of love and thankful.

Just days after being named as a member of the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, White Stripes have announced that their 20th anniversary of their 2005 fifth studio album, Get Behind Me, Satan. They're coming up with a limited edition commemorative vinyl release. The 2LP edition featuring one red smoke and one clear with red and black smoke vinyl arrives on Friday, June 27th.

The gold album featured the classic Blue Orchid and won the band a Grammy for Best Alternative Album. Isn't his company one of the biggest producers of vinyl? Third Man Productions. Yep.

And then Primus just dropped their first new song in three years titled Little Lord Fentanyl featuring Maynard James Keenan. I kind of like that. The track is a funky, dark and humorous tale marking the debut of Primus's new drummer, John Hoffman, who won the spot after beating over 6,000 others in an audition.

It's Primus' first release since 2022 Conspiranoid EP, and fans can stream it now. The tour runs through June 7th in Auburn, Washington, with more Primus shows planned in the summer. And you know what? Now we can jump right to our win odds. Yes!

So we had how many people total? How many were there, Case? Do you remember? 50? Okay. I knew it was between like 50 and 60. Vote that people needed to vote on. We had the performances and the videos up on WMMR.com. And now we have narrowed it down to 10 separate performances. And I say that because there's actually 11 names that I'm going to read. All right. And I'll explain in a moment. So our winners will start with...

Courtney Rodriguez! Courtney is from C.K. and she attended her first MMRBQ last year. Had an incredible time. She said that music and singing have been my entire life since she was five years old. Loves performing with a live band and putting her soul into every note. So, we will indeed see Courtney Rodriguez as one of our performers. Joining Courtney will be Ethan James Urban. Hey!

Ethan is from Broomall, and he's also known as the WMMR Concert Kid, who likes to do live concert interviews with Pierre, Jackie, and Brent. He is...

11 years old. And he has attended over 75 concerts. And he goes to Mainline School of Rock and is excited to be performing at the MMR. Oh, that's terrific, man. The School of Rock. Yeah. Then we have somebody we know. He's a regular on the show. Brian Zapsapio. He is going to be joined by Ryan Oak Oakley. This is our first ever duet.

at the MMRBQ on the side stage. They've been friends since high school. They used to play together all the time, and they recently reconnected, and their harmonies are better than ever. So those guys are going to be doing their thing at the MMRBQ. Also joining us will be, and I need to point out, that this person got more votes than anybody for live band karaoke, Sammy Vile. Sammy Vile? How about that?

And he says here, just some Delco trash who loves singing in a couple of bands and making silly videos on the interwebs. I missed him on the air, but he came to Kathy's Cuts and he got his hair cut, so he's going to show up with a nice short haircut. That's amazing. He's such a great guy. Super fan, super great guy. So we're happy for Sammy Vile. Also joining him on stage, Kara Koser from Havertown, Pennsylvania. I think she might be the most...

uh, most solid vocalist of, Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. I went through all of these and I saw them all and she is really, really good. So she's from a band called front human and, they were an MMR artist of the month and she grew up on MMR and is ready to show Philly the true depths of her range and rock the hell out of the MMR. That's wonderful. Uh,

Also on stage will be Riley Hayworth. And Riley is from Philly. 16 years old. Oh, well, you got a couple of youngins this year. Vocal major at Capa. And singer in Philadelphia teen rock band called Modern Yesterday. And they played the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Viper Room. Venues all over Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware.

And she says that singing MMRBQ is a dream come true. How cool is that? So I love that this is sort of straddling, you know, it's just people who are just loving to get up and belt one out in front of a crowd and what could potentially be some real up-and-comers. Yep.

We also have Cameron Breyer from Williamstown, New Jersey. Been listening to MMR since birth and performing in crowds since he was nine years old. He is 13 years old. Yeah, but an 11-year-old, a 13-year-old, and a 16-year-old. And might try to talk his way into playing guitar while he sings.

Three more to mention. Tom Hediger is from Warminster, Pennsylvania. Fully born and raised. He's been listening to MMR for decades and ready to rock the MMRBQ stage. Then we have Charlie Madara. Charlie is from Abington and started out at School of Rock in Fort Washington. He's now a vocal coach at Back to Rock in Warminster. And it says he has snag at weddings.

Flyers game. Probably sang. Yeah, that's probably it. You're the best snagger we ever had. The TLA down in Wildwood and now the MMRBQ. Yeah.

Same letters. It is. It's an anagram, really. Who's ready for a good old snag-a-long? That's our favorite snagger. Steven Snagger. Snag, snag us, no. And then finally, the last contestant is Ethan Grosser of Hockessin, Delaware. Or is it Hockessin? Hockessin. Hockessin.

And is 13 years old. Two 13-year-olds, an 11-year-old, and a 16-year-old. Yep. 13-year-old who rocks harder than 18-year-olds. He's done over 100 songs live and is ready to rock the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. I freaking love this. How about that, man? We've got lots of kids represented. I think the crowd is going to love. I think they really, they see us as contemporaries, Preston, clearly. They're going to love this. All right. So there is your lineup for the Preston and Steve show. Side stage, Fet.

Mez will be doing a set and they will be completely original from what they will be doing on the main stage to open the MMRBQ. So we're getting two sets from them, two unique sets. And it's all good stuff, man. And it's this Saturday. We're less than a week away. I cannot believe it. Yeah, so get yourself ready.

Let's... Oh, wow. Who's typing? What's that integrated machine we're listening to? So, let's take one final break. We'll come back in just a second and we'll wrap up today's program. We'll get your letter of day for the word of the week when we return. Stay with us, please.

And it is in bloom, 1046. Everything's in bloom right about now. A lot of these flowers are getting ready to pop, make it all pretty, especially the next couple of days. I know we're getting the rain, and that's not fun, but it is really going to bring things even further out on display. But, yes, rain expected. It was funky and weird yesterday, off and on, and that happens today and tomorrow and Wednesday, Friday.

And Thursday and Friday. It's just this front that has made its way across the country. So that's where we is, people. Today was fun. I would like to thank our guests. We had our friends from Philabundance. They have an event that's coming up on May 14th, and it is called Beat Hunger Bash. And it celebrates their anniversary 20, 30 years, 40 years. I'm sorry, 40 years. Yes.

And it's going to be at the Pubhouse in Ballackinwood. Our buddy Nick Elmey, it's his place. And yeah, there's going to be celebrity chef food and all kinds of great events. And obviously, Phil Abundance, as you know from listening to this program for as many years as you have, how near and dear that association or that group is to our family. And so we want to urge you to go there. So you can go to philabundance.org.

and get in on that. So it's going to be May 14th. And then we had Mike Hawk. Who is the co-creator of Mad Mutts. And they make mozzarella sticks. Or as he says, mozzarella sticks. He's a great character. And not just any, like fresh mozzarella. He was able to

crack the code and create fresh mozzarella, not the other type of mozzarella sticks that you have. As if you were to have real fresh off of a plate, he's able to put that into a mozzarella stick. It's amazing. And so they were picked up by one of the sharks, Lori Grainer, who is on Shark Tank, and she's going to back him. Yeah. And

Mike's a super nice guy, man. Just a super straight ahead, average Joe kind of guy. And the proof is in the product, man. Both you and I are raving about him. Most definitely. So it was nice having him on. Pierre's here. Hey, man. Most def. Most def, bro. Most def, bros. Yeah. Um...

Last, yes. When last we left. When last we left. The Justice League. Last week you were talking about nicknames. Yes. And you said, Preston said...

Well, I have one, and Pierre made it for me. And I didn't think about that, but I guess I still use it. Yeah, you did. You are the origin of Presbo. I am the creator of Presbo. It sticks. I get it all the time. Do you really? All the time. All the time. Yeah, when I'm out, there were people at an appearance at Presbo.

at Del Chevy over the weekend, which, by the way, I actually made it to the location I was meant to go to. I actually went where I was supposed to go. And a lot of people call me Presbo there. Wow. How'd your appearance turn out? Mine, I put it in my global peer system. What?

I got an email earlier that said that maybe you went the wrong direction and were headed towards west rather than north. I got to Sellersville via... Lancaster, right? Yeah. I saw every farm along the way. I don't see any Chevrolet dealers around here. And I'm going and weaving and weaving and turn right at Johnson Town...

Derby Road. What you looking for? You've passed it. And then I'm going, where in God's name am I? And I was following the gadget box.

And I said, surely there must be a direct route to the beautiful, fine village of Sellersville. Lo and behold, there was, but it didn't give it to me for whatever the reason. You decided you needed to see Lancaster. I needed to. Well, the Amish farmer who stopped and helped me and gave me a ride to the Chevy dealer actually was very nice. Yes. His name was Herman. Herman. Yeah. Let me look at your electronics there. I can fix this. Yes.

Yeah, I had a good 4 o'clock appearance, 5, that I got there for. And, you know, I had a nice visit with the fine folks who came out for Wolfgang Van Halen passes. But it was fun. Okay. All right. I heard it was an interesting route. I'll get there. Yeah, you'll get there. I'll get there. Eventually. That's your slogan. I'll get there eventually. I love it, man. I'll get there dot, dot, dot. Eventually. Eventually.

All right. Well, anyhow, we do have a new Word of the Week prize if you got a letter. Yes. Ready for that? All right. Here we go. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. All right. The Preston and Steve Show is brought to you today by the letter. B as in black. All right. B as in black.
