Sleep in.

Please go away. Let me sleep for the

You're listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. With Preston Elliott. I'm just getting warmed up. And Steve Morrison. And it absolutely will not stop, ever. Plus Casey Boy. When you're the most annoying sound in the world. Nick McElwain. That last one goes out to Nick. And Marissa Magnata. Care to join me for a glass of breakfast wine? And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Hey!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

This thing's up and running. We welcome you. Tuesday morning in the Press to See Radio program in attendance. Let's see how we're going to shape up weather-wise for today. Taking a quick peek at the forecast. Looks absolutely beautiful. Tad bit cooler than yesterday. High of about 70. We have partly cloudy skies. Initially, we're calling for a little bit of rain. So you never know. Things can change just a little bit. Tomorrow, however, still calling for rain and even cooler. The high 57.

And now, Kristen and Steve's News Update.

Today is Tuesday. It's May 20th. Good morning. We'll start with this. Today is primary day. And in Philadelphia, District Attorney Larry Krasner is on the ballot. Krasner is up for re-election and facing former Judge Pat Dugan in the primary. If there are any complaints, they will be handled by state officials instead of the District Attorney's office.

A few polling places in northeast Philadelphia are still having some staffing issues, but officials say that they will use last-minute volunteers combined with staff members to make sure that all positions are covered. In the Philadelphia suburbs, a few candidates in smaller municipal races could make history. Joy Washington could become Media Borough's first woman mayor. Erica DeUso could become Downingtown's first journalist.

transgender mayor as well as the first openly transgender mayor in Pennsylvania. And Madison Pease, who is only 19, could join the ranks of the youngest school board members in Pennsylvania. Pease graduated from Hatboro Horsham High School in 2023, and she was inspired to run for the school board by a sense of duty to ensure students don't feel helpless. A

A Penn Star medical helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing last night in a residential area of White Marsh Township in Montgomery County. The incident occurred around 7.43 p.m. near the intersection of Cannon Hill Road and Musket Road. The helicopter was traveling from Philadelphia to Wingsfield Airport in Bluebell when it had to land for unknown reasons. Officials say there were three flight crew members on board.

One of them was taken to the hospital to get checked out, but officials say that everyone is going to be okay. I think I've been on that helicopter. Sorry to interrupt. Penn Star? Yeah, because when we had Camp Out for Hunger at Plymouth, meaning Metroplex, I went on a helicopter ride that you guys had helped set up, and we took off from Wings Field, kind of circled around, and then landed at Camp Out for Hunger. So Penn Star used to do...

Yeah.

And so that was in one yard on the way, and it was going in one direction, kind of turned around and landed in a person's front yard. During a news conference at White Marsh Township, Police Chief Christopher Ward spoke about the pilot's control under chaos, saying, We got very lucky tonight. It was a miracle. The pilot did an amazing job from all accounts.

as out of control as it was. He controlled it into an area that was able to put it down without striking. Luckily for us, any homes, any vehicles, or any people. So if you stop and think about that horrible crash that he placed over the East River with the propeller coming off and all that stuff, and then there was one

locally about a year and a half ago. Maybe it was a few years ago. The one where we were doing Delco versus Bucksco. 50 points to Delco. That was like 3-4 years ago, I think. Yeah, it was a little while back. There was a child with a heart situation or something they were transporting, as I remember.

I don't remember that. Or are you thinking about the airplane that crashed? That had the kid that had the, it was a medical situation and they died. But yeah, I do remember that. And it was, it came down like on a church's air, right? Yes, exactly. And avoided any kind of horrible catastrophe. So yeah, here's another one.

All right, here's the story you've been waiting for. The alleged Delco pooper was held for trial after the teen who filmed the incident testified yesterday. Christina Solomito was escorted to and from court by a private security guard, and her attorney said she faced threats since the incident in April. Now, Greg Ferrari, the Delco teenager who caught it all on film and attends Interbarrow High School, testified in court.

about witnessing a motorist allegedly defecating on the hood of another car. How about that? He's getting more media. The 17-year-old Ferrari who captured video of the incident last month with a cell phone and was accompanied to court by his mother was the only witness at the preliminary hearing. Solomino, who is 44 and lives in Ridley Park, wore a blue dress to the hearing and occasionally smiled at Ferrari delivering his testimony. Solomino had been charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, harassment...

and depositing waste on a highway, along with a new charge for open lewdness. Now, Ferrari testified that he was driving his truck to his friend's house on the afternoon of April 30th when he was forced to stop his vehicle at 4th and Madison Avenues in Prospect Park because two motorists were arguing in the intersection. In court, he said...

I thought they were going to fight, so I pulled out my phone to take video. And one of the people ended up going to the bathroom on the other's car. Ferrari's video, which he shared with his baseball group chat and then was posted to Facebook by someone else, went viral. And since the end of April, his Instagram follower count grew. And he appeared on our show, and he's been asked to pose for photos with people at graduation parties. He said, it's kind of ridiculous.

It's kind of been crazy. I like him, man. He's got a level head for all this stuff. And as Ferrari spoke to reporters outside of District Court yesterday, a motorist drove by and yelled, Go Birds! So it's the perfect segue into sports! Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy! Ball sacks are yummy!

What is that? The Phillies won again. All right. Wait one second. They beat the Rockies 9-3 last night in Denver. Kyle Schwarber hit his 300th career home run, a 466-foot shot off the facing end of the third deck in right field, and the Phillies won their fourth straight game. Hey!

Alec Boehm had a go-ahead home run in a four-run eighth inning for the Phils, who moved into first place in the NL East for the first time since April 12th. Edmundo Sosa had four hits, including his first home run of the season. Bryce Harper drove in two runs. The Phils now are a half game ahead of the Mets, who lost to the Red Sox last night in Boston. The series against the Rockies continues tonight. Jesus Lozardo will get the start of the first pitch is set for 840. In the NBA, the Western Conference Finals begin tonight in Oklahoma City with a Thunder facing off against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

tip-off is at 8.30. In the NHL, the Florida Panthers play the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The puck will drop in Raleigh at 8 o'clock. And the Eagles have agreed to a multi-year extension with head coach Nick Sirianni, although terms of the extension were not disclosed. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie said, as an organization, we have always strived

create a championship culture and of sustained success. Nothing is more important to fostering such an environment than having tremendous leadership. Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach since we hired him four years ago. Sirianni, who is 43, is 48 and 20 with the Eagles, and his winning percentage of 706 is the third highest in the Super Bowl era. He is 6-3 in the postseason and has guided the team to two Super Bowl appearances, including this past February against the Kansas City Chiefs, which means...

that the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs. And that's what I have for you in sports this morning. All right, thank you very much, Nick. So we welcome you. Thank you. To a Tuesday. We got you on board. We got some stuff to do, friend. I'll tell you about that in a little bit. But what we need to do is get right to business because we're diving through the coolest teachers. And yesterday, we reached out to Collingswood High School via the airwaves.

Because you were randomly chosen and asked you to place your votes for 24 hours and let us know who you think should be deserving this award that we are about to bestow. So let's not mess around anymore and we will get right to our announcement. We would like to congratulate...

Mr. Mike McKeown. Michael McKeown. It's spelled M-C-K-E-O-W-N. McKeown maybe is how you say it. Mike McKeown is probably it. From Collingswood, Mike is apparently a math teacher. And he's a football coach too. Yes. I don't know if he's the head coach, assistant coach, JV, varsity, whatever. But maybe we can find out a little bit later on. But yet again, another...

Another teacher with, uh, wear multiple hats, do a pull in multiple duties. I always think it's impressive when it's a subject like math, something that tends to be a little bit more difficult for a lot of people and they still nail the coolest teacher. Yep. So congratulations to Mr. McEwen. And if you haven't known, let him know about this award that we will give to him because we're going to set him up with a $50 Dunkin' gift card or sponsor for coolest teacher.

And we're going to give them the coolest teacher of the year coffee mug as well. So congratulations. And like I said, reach out. Please let them know. Casey, we got to let Marissa jump in here. Marissa, it is your turn to choose the school. So we're going to get Marissa to... She's going to get actually in the mason jar. Make her way in here into the studio and grab this. You can use my mic if you like. Okay. Hey, thanks, guys. Well, it's fun to be on the side of the board. All right, I'm reaching in.

Unfolding the paper. And the winning school is Upper Merion High School in King of Pressure, Pennsylvania. Yeah! All right, Upper Merion. Here's what you gots to do. Very, very easy. You, if you're interested in voting, you just have to text the word teacher to 610-660-9333. Okay.

And you get 24 hours tomorrow morning around this time. We will announce whoever gets the most votes and we'll give them the same prize as well. So very, very simple to do. Spread the word. Let people know if you, you know, especially if you're in a class. The teacher really, really liked the rest of the classmates to vote for that teacher. But let the front office know. And that way we can spread it throughout the whole school.

And we'll get an honest and fair representation of who should be the coolest teacher at Upper Marion High School in King of Brashoff. Are we staunchly against teachers bribing students? No, not at all. No, I think that's part of the process, right? In fact, you might be able to work in a better way on this if you push the right way. A little investment and you get yourself a dandy little mug. We'll see about that. All right, so...

This morning, we're just kind of hanging out. I think we're going to dive into a contest at some point. So we got some good concert tickets to give away for a contest. So get yourself set to win some of those goodies. And we're, of course, getting prepped for the Kenan's Live Broadcast, the official opening of the Jersey Shore. You know, you raised a good point, by the way. The forecast was a little bit off.

I'm calling for partly sunny 71 on Friday. Wow. Okay. That's a step up. I like it. Yeah, they were saying like 67, something like that. The high may be 65, but it can definitely bump up between now and then. We will see about that. I mean, statistically, I'm only wrong 70% of the time. That's it. It's not bad.

so we'll be doing that. And listen, if last minute, if you know somebody who should be in our seagull screech contest, then you should reach out to us and let us know if you'll be there. Now we've had people say that they can do it. And then a couple of people said, uh, I can do it, but I'm not going to be there. All right. That doesn't help us. So if you can be there and do this, we've got a, I believe we're giving a 300 bucks. That's,

That's actually much more than we offered last year for this. Yep. So just reach out to Marissa and you can email her, marissa at wmmr.com. Yeah. It's not just 300 bucks, but it's also going to be a Maurice Pierre gift pack as well with all you can, like all day wristbands. That's awesome. And a big sunny seagull as well.

The most coveted Sonny Siegel. The Maurice Pierce deal. That's our big freaking deal this week, by the way. You get same-day ride and water combo tickets for Maurice Pierce for just $70. It's a $50 savings per ticket.

For unlimited rides on three piers, both water parks, whole day. So you get an unforgettable summer at Maury's. But buy two tickets, you're saving $100. Yeah, it's amazing. So just go to WMMR.com. Or you can go to WMMR.com slash deals or you'll see it right there and click on the Maury's deal. By the way, Steve, right now the forecast is pretty nice. 67 and partly cloudy, which we might as well call mostly sunny. Yes. Right? And 71. Exactly. Right.

I mean, there are gray areas all around that. What's four degrees? I have a question with our seagull impressionists. Whatever. Do you believe they could employ this ability to attract...

if they were to stand on the beach. Maybe. In other words, are they seagull whisperers? So when you're on the beach and when there's a little bit of a frenzy taking place, because somebody opened up their bag of Doritos or whatever, like a dumbass, and spilled some...

They will start yapping and they'll make that noise. And I don't know why they want to call attention to where they are because they could have their own food there. Accommodate, yeah. Quit your yapping. But yeah, maybe they could call them in. I don't know. Let's see if we can fill up Keenan's with seagulls. With live seagulls. Wouldn't that be great? That would be fun. Seen out of the birds. Spinning around in there and everything. That would be great.

All right. We are going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a moment. Stupid Question Entertainment Report is on the way. Stay with us. Want to stop Alexa from secretly recording you?

Just say, Alexa, play 93.3 WMMR, and then crank it up. She won't hear a damn thing you say after that. Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme Markets.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. Stupid question time. We are going to give away as a prize this Mission Impossible prize pack. It includes a $50 Kenan's gift card and Mission merch. And it comes with stuff like a sweatshirt and a trucker cap and cozy and a bunch of stuff. So you will get that if you can answer this question correctly. Which detective dies...

In the short story called The Final Problem.

Let's see if we know the answer to that. Which detective dies in the short story known as The Final Problem? 610-660-9333. Let's see if we know the answer to that. Which detective dies in the short story called The Final Problem? And call if you know the answer. We will mention a few birthdays. Kill some time while you're waiting to get through. Today being the 20th day of May. And it's Minnie Cohen's birthday today. Of the facts of life. She turns 59.

She does a crapload of VO work. Yeah. She's Velma. Yeah, Scooby-Doo. Yeah, Scooby-Doo. That is correct. And she was actually, I did not know this, she was discovered in high school by actress Charlotte Rae.

And the Facts of Life producers, while they were conducting research for the show. That was Mrs. Garrett, right? Mrs. Garrett. And she apparently was always a mentor to her. I saw Mindy Cohen on a podcast talking about they were going to do the Fuller House spin on Facts of Life. She wouldn't reveal one cast member, though, mucked everything up.

Like, legally, it was threatening to go after the rest of the cast if they did this. No kidding. Yeah, it was bad. It's not cool. It's not cool. Well, too bad. All right, well, Mindy Cohen is 59 years old today. Actor Jack Gleeson, in Game of Thrones, he played one of the best bad characters in that entire run. He played Joffrey.

Who is just an evil little bastard. So I've heard he's... What else is he in? I've seen him in. He was in one of the Planet of the Apes films. That's it. Batman Begins 2. He's the kid... Oh! He's Commissioner Gordon's kid and he sees Batman and Batman tells him to like... I don't know if he's his kid. I think he's just a random kid, Nick, that sees him out on the...

Like hanging on the wall and he sees it. Oh, yeah? And looks, I don't think he's Commissioner Gordon's kid. I don't know. But anyhow, I know the scene you're talking about. So he became a dick in Game of Thrones. Oh, big, like just a sadist. I don't mean this in a boring way. Just causing people pain. You need a good dick. Yeah. Because when they're not good, that's as critical and crucial to a heroic tale as

You gotta have a good dick. Can I get a shirt with that on it? You gotta have a good dick. Also, somebody had mentioned Planet of the Apes. That's not him. That was the dickhead from Harry Potter. Oh, and the first one? Yeah, you're talking about... Tom Pelfrey. Tom Felton. Draco Malfoy. Wrong person. Dickhead. Same vibe.

Same vibe. Yeah. That came out of nowhere. Dickhead. All right. Yeah, Batman Begins. His character was called Little Boy. Yeah. He would have been a Gordon in the credits. But the word is, even though he just plays this hideous, horrible character, he's like the nicest guy. Yeah. And more often than not, you have to be kind of really...

pleasant to really wrap your mind around a dick, I guess. So he turns 33 years old today. Great actor, Timothy Olyphant. Oh, excellent. Yeah, he's 57 years old. Did you watch Justified? I did not, no. In fact, what's it about? I don't know. So he's a lawman, but I watched the first season. I liked it, and then

I detached from it and it became like the favorite show of many people. He was great in Deadwood as well. And Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yes, yes. Santa Clarita, not Slanta Carlita. So he's 57 today. It's Bronson Pinchot's birthday today.

Cousin Larry Appleton. That's how you say it, right? I know he's spouting, but I'm just... Cousin Larry Appleton. He turns 66. The first time I saw him in anything was in Risky Business. He plays one of Tom Cruise's Joel's friends in that movie. And of course, it was Beverly Hills Cop that put him on the map. That character, which is all improv. Yep, so he turned 66 today.

Actor Dave Thomas from SCTV is one of the McKenzie brothers. One of my favorites. He turns 76 years old today. Yeah, agreed.

Then we have actor Tony Goldwyn in Ghost. He's the evil jerk. He's the dickhead. He's the dickhead. He's also, what is the series he's in now? Oh, he's in Hacks. He's in Hacks? Yeah, he is the CEO of the media company that hires Gene Smart to be the late night host. He's kind of a dick in that, too. He's a dick in that. Yeah.

He seduces her a little bit. Yeah. And he's married. Did you see the most recent? I've not. No, I'm two or three episodes behind. He's on Law and Order. Is he a dick on that too? I don't think he's a dick on that. I'll tell you this. The dude is cut up. Is he? The dude is cut up. And he's also one of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, you know. Oh, of that family? Of that family. Wow. Oh, yeah, Goldwyn. There you go. So he's 65 today. All right. It's Cher's birthday today. Cher. Do you believe?

Cher turns 79 years old. She released the part one of her autobiography. Yeah. And it was apparently well-received. A few weeks ago, I...

A few weeks ago, I don't know where I was, but Gypsy's Tramps and Thieves was on. Yeah. And I sat and listened to that for a little while. I'm like, wow. I remember when that was a massive hit. So do I. With Sonny and Cher. And again, if you've not seen The Wrecking Crew, she's one of the best things in The Wrecking Crew. Talking about this band of studio musicians.

that helped them create virtually all the pop hits you heard in the 60s. So she turns 79 years old today. It's Busta Rhymes' birthday today as well.

Here we go. Wow.

I would love to give him the order for like a family of 12 at a drive-thru window and just have him blurt it out. Rattle it off real quick. I'll tell you what, man. Eminem is not, he's no slouch either. I think it's the song Godzilla might be.

That might be the name of it. Yeah. Where he just goes crazy. And I'm like, where did he come up for air? I find it impressive. I don't find it particularly enjoyable to listen to. Like, I couldn't see myself putting it on, you know? But I know what you mean. Impressive, though. Yeah. He's 53 today. And then the last birthday, man, I had a crush on this gal, Jane Weedlin. Oh, God, yeah. Go, go, go.

Turns 67 years old today. I just thought she was super duper cute. And again, the documentary on the Go-Go's came out about two years ago. MMR is featured in it as well. She is a...

tiny little thing. You said the guitar looks huge on her. She's in the Bill and Ted's. She plays Joan of Arc. She pops up in movies. In Clue, she's the singing telegram. That's right. You didn't notice that? Oh my God.

My daughter was just in the play, and she played singing Telegram. So, Jane Whelan turned 67. Of course, she wrote a bunch of the hit songs for the Go-Go's as well. So, happy birthday to her and everyone turning a year older. Let's see if you know the answer to the stupid question this morning. What detective dies in the short story, The Final Problem? And we will go to... So many choices here. Who called him first? All right, we are going to go to Brian and see if we can get that answer. Hi, Brian. Good morning to you, sir.

Hey, you guys rock. No! Appreciate it, brother. All right, which detective dies in the short story, The Final Problem, please? Was it Sherlock Holmes? Twas. You got it. Hang on, man, because we're going to set you up. You get the Mission Week Mission Impossible prize pack, including a $50 Kenan's gift card.

And Mission merch including hooded sweatshirt with secret pocket, trucker cap, drink koozie. You get wireless audio transmitter, power bank, and utility tool pad. And Mission Week support for WMMR comes from Paramount Pictures presenting Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning. Every mission has led to this. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt. Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning. And it's only in theaters.

IMAX and IMAX on May 23rd. Years ago, I read a lot of the Sherlock Holmes. I might have read all of them that was available. Got on a big tear. Preston, I think they would hold up. I think if you were to listen to them as audible books...

I think you'd find them very engaging. I've thought about it. Yeah. And right now I'm doing another detective series. I'm doing the Alex Cross series. Right, right. James Patterson. So I'm going through that. But I have been in kind of whodunit mode lately. So I might eventually make my way over to Sherlock Holmes. I know it's very...

Cerebral. Very, very smart detective stories, obviously. But engaging. I enjoyed them. I really enjoyed them. And I read Red instead of listen. But if you have a good actor who's doing it, it should be a lot of fun. All right. I got some entertainment stories. We're going to start with a great actor, Denzel Washington. He received a surprise honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival this week. I bet it tastes great. During the world premiere of Spike Lee's Highest to Lowest.

The movie is an English language remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film High and Low set in modern day New York. Love that movie. The award coincided with Washington making his first ever appearance at the film festival. And con director Thierry Frameau

He introduced a montage of Washington's iconic roles before Spike Lee presented him with the award, calling him my brother from another mother. Lee handed the trophy to Washington, who said the honor was a total surprise to him. He's in a Denzel breed. I mean, who can compare? I mean, you have Daniel Day-Lewis. Yeah.

But if you're talking about someone who's just mesmerizing, I guess they both are, I would track my point. But he's just a phenomenal actor. He's one of the all-time greats. So I was watching Flight. Oh, man. I mean, for Christ's sake, that scene where the plane's going down, he tells the flight assistant, the stewardess, for lack of a better, what do they call them now? Yeah. He says, you know, tell your son into the black box. Yeah. Tell him that you love him. It's like a,

Holy God, it's amazing. Yeah. Before that, on the red carpet for the movie, though, Washington had somewhat of a tense moment with a photographer. At one point, the actor walked up to them and pointed in their face and seemed to scold them. God damn, yeah! The photographer seemed to try and play it off. And at one point, grabbed Washington's arm to which he was saying, stop it, stop it, stop it.

and flung the man's hand off and walked away. It was a little... He looked pissed. He did look pissed. Yeah. I still don't know what that was all about, so we'll have to wait. I heard rumors yesterday that perhaps the next Magneto in the MCU would be Denzel Washington. He could certainly pull that off. All right. Jeff Bezos... I don't think I have anything to say about this.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are said to be planning an intimate $10 million wedding in Venice, Italy set for the end of June. To be honest, I should have actually known that that would be the clip and I apologize to you. Does that seem for Jeff Bezos a little low?

Maybe. Yeah. I'm not really sure. Are they slumming it? That's definitely, yeah, it's cheaper than earlier rumors, Steve, that pointed that a big event would maybe support a $500 million price. Right. Yeah.

The guest list includes... They're going with the pizza bagels. About 200 close friends and family with expected attendees such as Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and more. You know who's playing the wedding? Mama C. Jump. No way. Love C. Mama Jump? Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry. Where is this wedding going to be? That's a good question. Let's read further. Italy.

In Venice. Yeah, you're right. Each guest will cost an estimated $50,000 with luxury accommodations. That means it's sort of implied that your gift should at least match the cost of your meal. With luxury accommodations at the Amman Venice and the Gritty Palace. Gritty has a palace? Gritty has a palace. Wow. Has the big googly eyes on the doors up front. He should have a palace.

Isn't that the conversion rate though, Preston, for if the gift you're bringing should equal the cost of your meal? I have no idea. Preston, do you know? I don't do that. No.

Any idea? Yes. Per person, you should cover your plate. Okay. All right. So... 50 grand. But each guest will cost an estimated $50,000. Yes, the hotel is reportedly costing $500,000 per night. Additional costs include docking fees for their yacht and expenses for photography, fashion, and more.

The Amazon founder could be saving a few bucks on entertainment. There were rumors of performances by Lady Gaga and Elton John, but those have been shut down as, quote, completely false. The couple has also emphasized that we're working with organizers to ensure the event respects Venice's uniqueness, whatever that means. So she had her bachelorette party, which they said, Lauren Sanchez, which the word was Preston.

was less expensive than they thought it was going to be. So maybe they're pinching pennies these days. We'll see about that. The Gritty Palace is actually a Marriott property. Really? Yeah, yeah. So I just looked it up and I mean, it's right on the Grand Canal. It's, as you would imagine, unbelievably beautiful. But...

Anyone can stay there. It's open to the public. If you have enough Marriott points, I bet you can cash in. Yeah. I'll bet they, I'm sure they've rented the entire thing. Probably. They had to take some reservations at the Fanatic Hotel next to this. Wow. We're looking at a view of their patio out back on the, right there on the water in Venice. That is a stunning view. I think it's San Marco Square, possibly. It's looking at, that is incredible. Look at those corn dogs. Oh, wow.

Pamela Anderson has made it clear that she has moved on to bigger and better things since her rollercoaster relationship with Tommy Lee in the 90s. Pam and Tommy's whirlwind romance has since lived in infamy after, of course, they got married. They had the sex tape and all those things that happened in legal battles. They moved on to Welcome to Tucson's Brandon and Dylan Lee, but would eventually call it quits.

once and for all in 1998. And almost three decades later, Lee's relationship with his wife, Brittany Furlan, is reportedly on the rocks. A source close to Pamela revealed to TMZ, quote, there's zero chances for Tommy to rekindle his relationship with his wife.

with her. One insider said that there were opportunities in the past for Tommy to reconcile, but now that door is closed. The source says Pamela's happily single. And by the way, reconciling meaning with Pamela. Yeah. Pamela is happily single and focused on herself these days. Meanwhile, Tommy and Brittany are reportedly living apart.

with concerns over his drinking addiction. It's still unclear if either plans to file for divorce. Furlan has requested that people, quote, leave them alone. That'll happen. You know they always respect those wishes.

All right. This was interesting. Brooks Nader. I guess she's the ex of Gleb. Yes. Gleb Sevchenko. Gleb ex. Well, heads up, ladies. It appears that Brooks is ready to jump into your dating pool after a less than successful swim with the men in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch Party in New York.

Nader was asked about what she was looking for in her dating life, and she revealed that she wasn't actively pursuing her next relationship, but she may consider expanding the number of potentials. He said, honestly, I don't even know. Maybe it's Mr. Maybe it's Mrs. I don't even know. Who knows? Do you know what I think would be an obvious choice for her? Ralph Nader. Yeah. Wouldn't have to change any names or anything like that.

Dear God, Nick pulled up a picture of her on Instagram. That's from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Oh my goodness. So Gleb couldn't find something to do with that. So her top, her bra of sorts for this bikini are like puka shells. Yeah. In a, like a starfish shape. And she is just amazing. My goodness. Wow. All right, so anyhow, she said...

She had added that one of her sisters said that she should broaden her dating horizons, suggesting she switch teams like she's like over me with the guys. So that's what she said. I don't know what that means. It's too complex a language. Yep.

Victoria Beckham is showing public support for son Brooklyn despite fresh buzz about a supposed ongoing family rift. Over the weekend, the former Spice Girl posted a sweet picture on her Instagram story of Brooklyn with siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, plus her parents, and wrote, we both love you all so much. Now, fans quickly noted one key person missing, Brooklyn's wife,

Nicola Peltz, who wasn't in the shot and hasn't been confirmed to have attended. Rumors of a Beckham-Peltz feud reignited when Brooklyn and Nicola didn't show for David's big 50th birthday party. So even I know about this. This has been going on for years, apparently. She's not ever approved of this.

of this woman as her son's wife. So a source previously told Page Six that they just can't deal with this nonsense anymore. The tensions reportedly stem from the young couple's lavish 2022 wedding where Nicola ditched a Victoria-designed dress and legal drama with wedding planners followed. You know what she should do? Introduce her to Gleb. And despite all of that, the insider maintained the Beckhams still adore their son.

Love Island star Cashel Barnett is behind bars in Utah now, having turning himself in to police after a felony warrant had been issued for his arrest. Cashel caught multiple charges after he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend in front of their one-year-old daughter late last month. How does that happen when you've spent time on Love Island?

Yeah. Where you're supposed to learn about love. And you're so full of love. Yeah. How could all that hate surface? I don't get it. Cashel is being held without bail, though there will be a detention hearing on Thursday to determine if any bail will be set. I'm seeing here, when you leave Love Island, you have a stopover on Hate Island. Oh. That must be it. Cashel appeared on Love Island in 2019 and the Challenge USA in 2022. This is kind of interesting. Kiki Palmer.

Frugality has some fans tilting their heads a little bit. Talking to CNBC, Palmer says that she likes to live well below what she could afford. She said, I live under my means. She said, I think it's incredibly important. She said, if I have a million dollars in my pocket, my rent is going to be $1,500.

That's how underneath my means I'm talking. My car note is going to be $340. I don't need a Bentley. I'll ride an Alexis. Sounds great to many fans. I know, Alexis's are expensive. Alexis's are expensive. Anyway, sounds great. And many fans praised her money management. Some, though, had questions. One argued that her rent example felt disingenuous and accused her of trying to be relatable. Last year, Kiki listed her New York City penthouse for just under $3 million. Wow.

I sort of get what she's saying, though. You know, I've always... Keep a small nut? Keep a small nut. Oh, I agree. I just think she's being a little over the top with her examples. Her context has shifted a little bit. But for me, for example, you know, I have a few things I said, okay, I'm going to splurge on. I have a solid gold blow station. And I said, this is important.

to me. Solid gold. Solid gold. Not plated. Except for the suction part. The sucking part, yeah. That cold metallic thing would not work. No, you need like some silicone or something like that. So, yeah, she listed a New York City apartment for just under $3 million. A few months ago, she listed another $1.4 million studio city home and she currently resides in a $5 million property in California. I think she's very talented. She did a movie

It was a comedy recently, and I forget who the other woman was. But it's basically two sort of broke women trying to make rent, and the boyfriend, this ne'er-do-well boyfriend leaves with the rent, and they're kind of left during the day trying to get money before they're evicted. And it was really a funny movie, well done, and she's great. The next era of Sesame Street streaming rights are here with the Beloved Kids series heading to PBS Kids and Netflix.

And also, I believe Peppa Pig is going to be moving to Netflix as well. New episodes of Sesame Street as well as library episodes will be available to watch on Netflix worldwide. And new episodes will also release the same day on both PBS stations and PBS Kids. Also, as a part of the deal, Netflix will also be able to develop video games for both Sesame Street and Sesame Street Mecca Builders. Peppa Pig well after your kids?

Right at the tail end. Right at the tail end. Yeah. So they're doing a live action with Nick Nolte playing Peppa? Oh, wow. And I don't know. Is that suitable? I'm not sure. I don't know. Can he pull off that accent? That's the question. He already did that pig movie. So, you know, he's in that universe. Sesame Street, the official account said the support of Netflix, PBS and the cooperation of public broadcasting serve as a unique public-private partnership.

to enable Sesame Street public-private partnership to continue to help children everywhere, smarter, stronger, and kinder. Paula Kerger, the president and CEO of PBS, said, I strongly believe that our educational programming for children is one of the most important aspects of our service to the American people, and Sesame Street has been an integral part of that critical work for more than half a century. We're proud to continue our partnership.

in the pursuit of having a profound impact on the lives of children for years to come. Quick editor's note, it was Nicolas Cage in Pig. Oh, you said Nick Nolte and I was thinking Nick Cage. May I tell you, that movie Pig is really good. I think that's probably why I went down the Nick Cage path. I also fell down a Sesame Street YouTube hole a couple of weekends ago. Stuff that I watched from...

It felt great. It just was fantastic. The milk one and take a bleph and all of these things that are just, you know, these core memories and just, you know, it was a lot of fun and very nostalgic and weepy-eyed. And there's some interesting stories behind some of those things. There's one that I think we might have played audio from a long time ago, but it's...

It's like a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. It's a woman saying the numbers. And now that I listen back to it, you can hear it. It's Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane who did that. And so there were all these celebrities that were contributing to this. And you didn't realize it. I was a little older. My kid show when I was a kid was Jack Benny. So it was a little different. So there's going to be season 56. So I'm very lucky. I was one year old when...

Oh, that's great. It's just perfect. It's made for you. I mean, it's absolutely positively what I grew up on. What I do remember was the sort of ASMR ending, which would be, as I recall, in the earliest days of Sesame Street, was from like the windshield of a car driving down a country road. Am I misremembering that? I don't know. Yeah, it was kind of like... That's a good question. Brought to you by the Children's Television Workshop. Maybe. Yeah.

So there will also be some changes for season 56. Episodes will now center on, this is interesting, one 11-minute story. A more character-driven approach that mirrors other popular children's shows like Bluey.

Which is interesting because when my kids were growing up, they had added Elmo's World to Sesame Street. And that was its own chunk of Sesame Street. Like it was a long segment. It went on. Yeah, it was a lengthy departure. And so it was like a story that happened during Sesame Street. So your average Sesame Street episode was a half hour, right? I think so, yeah. So like half of that.

was Elmo's World. Yeah. And it was fun. It was a great show. Craig Legans is listening. He said the Pointer Sisters sang the numbers with the pinball machine. Oh, wow. Yeah. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Yeah. This upcoming season, we'll also see the return of favorite segments like Elmo's World and Cookie Monster Foodie Truck.

That's pretty cool. Wow. So this news comes months after HBO Max opted not to renew their deal, which saw new episodes head to HBO before airing on PBS. The deal had been in place since 2016. It came to an end in 2024 as part of a strategy shift for Max's

As the streamer focuses more on adult and family programming. Sesame Street Library, however, will be available still on HBO Max through 2027. So you can go watch all the library of it, which is pretty cool. All right, The CW has announced that it is bringing back both Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble as the game shows. Scrabble welcomes Craig Ferguson for hosting duties. And LeVar Burton will continue as host for Trivial Pursuit.

Both shows were given orders of 30 episodes. And about the announcement, Craig Ferguson said, I am cock-a-hoop to be hosting Scrabble. He's cock-a-hoop. Yes.

Anybody want to guess what a cock-a-hoop means? No. It just means extremely and obviously pleased, especially about a triumph or success. Do you know? I fell down a hole of his, of his late night talk show, which was great. If you can, Preston, watch the YouTube video of him, the compilation of him with Alice Eve.

Oh my goodness. I love her. You gotta watch it. And they just flirt like crazy, right? Yeah, like crazy. Yeah.

All right, according to Variety, a reboot of the iconic show Seventh Heaven is in the works, and it's getting a new spin on the original Camden family. Oh, it'll be good to see Stephen Collins back. No, he's not going to be in it. Oh, what happened? While there's no details to spill at the moment, for those who don't know, he had like a pedophile moment. Yes, he did. While there's no details to spill at the moment,

The series has linked up with showrunner Anthony Sparks and will be executive produced by none other than Jessica Biel herself. A variety of sources say the reboot will center on a diverse family and no original cast members are expected to return.

No network or streamer attached to the reboot yet, but the buzz is still building. The original Seventh Heaven, created by Brenda Hampton, ran for 11 seasons and was one of TV legend Aaron Spelling's final hits. It was a huge hit. Yeah. All right, one more story and then we'll wrap it up. Our friend Mike Birbiglia...

is back with a new Netflix special. The Good Life is dropping May 26th, and the teaser for the special reveals Birbiglia talking about his dad being his role model and his love languages as well. Do you think he...

Listen, we were friends, and I think we are friends, but he's kind of falling off the radar here. Yeah, I mean, he gets back to me, just the scheduling never works out. So, you know, I'll reach out to him again. You never know. You know what? You may want to, let's ask Bradley Cooper to press him a little bit because I think we're tighter with Bradley at this point. You just let him know that Tom Segura got back to me in two seconds. Oh, right. Yeah. And he's going to be on with us later on this week.

When does this special come out for Briggs? It comes out on May 26, Nick. So soon. Soon, this week. Or I mean, we should talk to him this week. He says Good Life Special is, quote, the most personal show that he's done yet. He said, it's my life right now. He's always done it about his life. He's always been very personal. All right, here is our set eclipse. We'll start with the first one. A new high school street racing drama, Motorheads. Come on.

Coming to Prime Video, and in this clip, Uriah Shelton and Nicholas Cantu talk about whether or not they love motorsports as much as their characters do. I'm just a civilian driver. You know, I drive my car to work, drive it back from work, go to In-N-Out, just regular use of a motor vehicle for me. Dirt bikes, for sure. Broke my back on them. You know, motorcycles, I've been building and doing stunts on them for a while. It's kind of cool to be able to take all that, you know, experience and bring it over to the show. I blather off.

That didn't go all the way. I'd blather on for hours. Gap, gap, gap, gap, gap, gap. Motorheads start streaming on Prime Video today. Here's our next clip.

Long-awaited finale of Mission Impossible is almost here. And in this clip, Tom Cruise talks about how much Mission Impossible Final Reckoning means to the cast. I'm just really happy to be here. I'm very excited to finally share with people because these are moments we dream about. And I have a tremendous amount of enjoyment in making these and exerting that effort in creating all of us together and to have these moments right now with all of us. Yay!

Mission Impossible Final Reckoning will hit theaters this weekend. It's the big one. Yeah. There you go. That's the Tim report for today. I wonder, Preston, now that they've added back the stunt category for the Academy Awards. Yeah. I mean, look at the stunts he's been involved with for crying out loud. Yeah, I wonder how much that will be on stunt shows.

coordinating or individual stunt performers or actors that do stunts? That's a good question. I mean, he's doing in this one, he's doing a wing walking, like fight or stunt on a plane that's flying along for real. He does the deal, man. Wow. All right. We should take a quick break, but not before I remind you that Upper Marion High School in King of Prussia, you're the one that was chosen for coolest teacher of the year to vote. You have until tomorrow morning.

About 6 a.m. is when we'll wrap that up. So if you know someone who should be recognized, a teacher that's made a difference, it's simple. You just text the word teacher to 610-660-9333. And tomorrow morning, we'll find out who the winner is. But make sure you do let them know if you go to school there in the front office that a primary in high school has been chosen. I want to congratulate again Mr. Mike McEwen from Collingswood High School. Math teacher, football coach, apparently a really good football coach. Yeah, that's the word. I was looking up his information.

is our winner, and he's going to get the prize along with the mug and the Dunkin' gift card and so on. So we'll find out who from Upper Marion gets that tomorrow. We're going to take a quick break and be back in just a moment. Make sure you stay with us on this beautiful start of Tuesday. We'll be right back. Thank you so much for coming. Tune in Thursday at 1 for our presentation of Pierre Presents. Let us welcome Mammoth. No matter what the distance is, I will be with you.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Hi, thanks, Marissa. If you guys don't mind, I want to do a shout-out real quick. This is one I got to make good on. It was supposed to be for the 16th. Said, hey, I'd be honored if you could bless my bride. My bride-to-be, Amanda, with a wedding day shout-out on May 16th. So, I missed it. Sorry. Yeah. She's been an absolute rock. Stabilizing force. At a time when I desperately needed it. And when I think about all of the things that led up to this,

to us meeting and the things that have happened to us while we started dating. I'm incredibly lucky to have someone like her. It's about two years before I met her. I lost my long-term partner of five years suddenly after a short cancer journey at the way too young age of 36. Dating was a struggle and oftentimes I would come up

Home from dates and tears because I was too scared, too guilty, too anxious, etc. I didn't feel those things after my first date with Amanda. And as things progressed, I asked her to meet my girlfriend on March 15th, 2020.

We endured a lot as a couple, including family and career struggles, also running for our lives when an arsonist set our row of townhomes on fire. What a story. In 2023, but both the house and we are fine now. He said, I wanted to say...

He wrote me a really lengthy email. Believe it or not, I'm summarizing this. I wanted to say that in conclusion that for people who have experienced a traumatic loss of a partner at such a young age, there is hope beyond the heartbreak if you're patient with yourself and keep the faith. Love you guys.

Keep on trucking and keep the faith. And that is from Sean Ward. So a shout out, please, for Amanda. And I'm sorry I missed that date, guys. I meant to get that in by the 16th. But nonetheless, that's a crazy story. And let Sean Ward, if you know a Sean Ward, any Sean Ward, that this has happened today. Hopefully we got the right Sean Ward. Yeah. Let's make this Sean Ward Day. Sean Ward Day. Yeah.

For all the Sean Wards out there. All the Sean Wards I loved before. Actually, I would like to chat with somebody not named Sean Ward, but I would like to chat with somebody named Mike McKeown, who is the coolest teacher in the air. And we're going to get him on the line right now. He's from Upper Marion High School. No, he's from Collingswood High School. Oh, I'm sorry. Yep, Collingswood High School. Today's school is Upper Marion that you need to vote for. But from Collingswood High School, Mr. Mike McKeown. Hey, Mike. Good morning.

Good morning, guys. Good morning. Hey, did I get that right? Is it McEwen or McAllen? How do you pronounce your name? I'm actually impressed because every time I grow up, people say McKeon, McAllen, but you got to correct McEwen. All right. There you go. I'm actually impressed. The most impressive thing so far. I messed it up the first time and then I figured it out. All right. So you're a math teacher. You're a football coach. How long have you been at Collingswood?

I've been at Collinswood for 23 years. But I grew up, that's where I grew up, my hometown. So I grew up there. I graduated high school from there. My family's been a part of Collinswood for 50 years. So, you know, it's, it's, it's, I tell people all the time, Collinswood kind of saved my life. Oh, wow. So it's something that I'm,

I'm proud about. So it's actually a pretty cool award. My kids from the football team were texting me. I said, I don't even know if they listen to 93.5. They do. They surprise you. I think it's so cool, and we hear this more often than not, that teachers grow up and go to school at the high school they end up working at. I think it's really neat. When you started working there, Mike, were there teachers working there that taught you?

Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. So, actually, I have guys on my football staff that taught me and coached me. So, I have a guy named Mike Anderson that's been coaching three sports at Collinsville High School for, I think it's 46 years now. So, it's weird, though. A lot of those guys are retiring now. So, you know what I mean? It shows how old I am. So, a couple of the guys that taught me and coached me are now put into retirement. So, it's...

It's a sad thing, but it's something that, you know, Collinswood's a small town that we take pride in. We always say it's all about the city and roll calls and stuff like that. So it's a great little town, and it's something that, you know,

My kids and myself are pretty proud about to be the coolest teacher of the year for a guy who teaches math. No, yes, which is what I said when we were talking about your win, that that's a tough nut because math can be a wonky subject to teach and to be popular about that. I have to ask you, since you went to the school and then you became a teacher in the school, what was the first thing you wanted to see behind the scenes? Was that opening the door to the teacher's lounge? Was that as...

a moment as we assume it would be. I try to stay away from a teacher's lounge a little bit. What's going on in there? Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? I try to stay away from a teacher's lounge a little bit, but, you know,

When you walk into a building at Collinswood, like I said, it's a small community that most of the teachers in the building are from Collinswood. You know what I mean? So we're Oakland or a town that's a sending district to our high school. So it's weird. When you walk into Collinswood High School, it's weird.

It feels like a family. You know what I mean? I love that. Yeah, it's, you know, guys who coach me, their dads watched me play high school who were like, you know, took me under their wing and stuff like that. So, you know, it's something that, you know, we take tradition in around here. And, you know, for me as a football coach, I give out awards every year that are named after dads that

you know, helped me get through high school. You know what I mean? That weren't my real dads, but you know what I mean? There are people that played a real big effect in my life. Mike, I did a quick Google search on you. This is Nick, by the way, and I wanted to... You guys have gone through some things over the last few years. Unfortunately, there was a coach who had passed away. There was a player who...

who passed away, but it seems like the community has just sort of rallied around the football team and rallied around you, and you've done a decent amount of press about it. And that's a really cool thing, to take difficult situations and find heartwarming aspects to it and just sort of focus that on the football team.

Yeah, when we lost Coach Scott, he was my first kid I ever coached out of college for middle school basketball. He was the first kid I ever came to my basketball meeting in 2001. So when I lost him, it was devastating for my kids because he was one of those guys that they could relate to, that they wanted to, you know, sometimes you've got to be good friends.

good coach, bad coach. I mean, I try to be, you know, the bad coach and let my assistants be the good coaches a little bit. And he was their guy that they all went to for like, you know, anything that they, you know, was going through. And he, he felt it, um,

And at the end of the day, it's kind of set my program back a little bit, to be honest with you. We struggled a little bit since Coach Scott has passed away. And it's something that hopefully we've got to rebound somehow some way with. But I do a scholarship in his name every year in honor of a football player who's played four years, very close to his mom still. And then the passing of Ryan Rogers was just devastating. He was...

He was my guy. He's the one person that kind of reminded me of myself. He was a blue and gold guy. He did everything for the team. He's all about Collinswood, which you don't find much in high school anymore. These guys, you know what I mean? It's a...

Yeah, he was an old school throwback kind of a player and old school throwback kind of a kid. So he would do whatever the team asked him to do. When I got the news that day, it was, you know, it was sad and it was devastating and it was something that even my kids now feel effect from because Ryan was, you know, big into leadership role, which...

I mean, you know, nowadays it's these kids, it's leadership's hard. You know what I mean? It's hard for youth nowadays with leadership. So we struggle a little bit with leadership and hopefully, you know, it's something that we've been trying to focus on in the off season. But Ryan was one of those guys that, you know, he would still come back and talk to our young kids after he graduated and, you

You know, it's just something that, hey, life's about adversity, and, you know, our kids, you know, try to battle back through it, but it's tough when you lose a player and a coach, you know, within, you know, within eight months. Yeah, it sounds like you got the right mindset to help people move forward after something like that. All right, we only have time for one more question, Coach, and that is, do you know our program director, Chuck D'Amico, because he went to Collingswood High School? Oh, really? Well, he already graduated. Any idea? Well, I mean, he's like 52 or 53 years old, so...

Not long enough for you. You probably know it's my aunts and uncles. Yeah, you probably know it's your grandparents. All right. Well, listen, Mike, this is a gift from your students. We are going to set you up with a $50 gift card from our friends at Dunkin' who are the sponsors of the coolest t-shirt. And best of all, you get the Preston and Steve coolest teacher of the year coffee mug to do with it what you will, my friend. But just a token gift.

from the people whose lives you're affecting on a job well done. So congratulations to you, ma'am. Can I give one shout-out real quick? Yes. I want to give a shout-out to my wife. She's a teacher at Leap Academy in Camden. She's a way better teacher than I am, so I just want to give her a shout-out for all she does for her students at Leap Academy in Camden and also to the college or the admin for giving me the opportunity to be the football coach.

I just got hired as a girls' basketball coach last night. There you go. I got to do two jobs. Wow. Another hat to wear. Well, all right. Exactly, buddy. I appreciate you guys, man. Of course, man. Enjoy your summer, and congratulations to you, Mike. Thank you, buddy. Have a good day, guys. You got it. All right, Mike McKeown, coach and teacher, Energetic Collingswood High School. Up next is Upper Marion High School in King of Prussia. So if you want to hear your favorite teacher on the air with us, love it.

Like Mike, then you need to text the word teacher. Not their name. Text the word teacher to 610-660-9333. We'll send you the voting link and then we'll find out tomorrow morning. So impressive that he's been at that school for so long and has no idea who Chuck D'Amico is. I know. It's amazing. Very impressive. All right. You know what we need to do, sir?

You better hope we're there. Yeah, we're throwing some love. All right, I have some surveys that I stumbled across that I thought were worth presenting to you guys. We're going to start with this one, a survey from Cotton USA. Oh, I love Cotton USA. Finds that 57% of people who sleep naked reported being happier in their relationships compared to just 48% of pajama wearers.

So I don't wear pajamas. I don't either. I wear just underwear. I wear underwear and I wear a top coat. All right. So, Preston, I know you're a jammy pants guy when you get home. Yes. But those come off when you go into bed? They do. Yeah. It's a little too warm. I'm like... Gotta let the boys out. My body temperature fluctuates throughout the night. I go through... I've told you guys, I rip the bed apart. Yep. I go through covers on, covers off, just a sheet, sheet and covers. Are you having a wrestling match? All night. Okay.

Long. All night long. All night long. All night. All night. All night. Feel good. Feel good. Anyway, yeah, so I love the feel of pajamas. It is the most comfortable set of clothing that I own are my pajama pants and a t-shirt, and it is just my preferred lounge attire. But I can't sleep in it.

It's 90% of the time just underwear, sometimes underwear and fishnets. Yeah. Okay. You know, I've always wanted to wear fishnets. Yeah.

They look hot on ladies. They look hot on me. It's got to look good on me. Sometimes I just sit there and I'll raise my leg up and I'll run my hands down. Like how hard, Marissa Magnata, where is she? Where is she? Because I know I've seen Marissa wear fishnets for, you know, like costumes and things like that. How difficult are those to put on? Fishnet stockings. Fishnets are actually easier than regular stockings. Really? Shut up. I would think like your toes get caught in them or something like that. I mean, they used to catch fish. No, because like

Regular stockings are like lycra and they're a little bit tighter, so you have to slide them. I mean, they're a little silky, so they slide up easier. But fishnets don't have the same elasticity as other stockings, so they just slide on real easy. More like a sock? Sure, like pants. Yeah, I mean, look, they'll get caught on something and all, but no, they're pretty easy. You guys want to do fishnet Fridays?

Fish net Fridays. Yeah. Underneath our clothes? Whatever. At Kenan's? At Kenan's, yes. Did we have to get rid of strap on Wednesdays then?

No, no, no. That stays in place. Marissa, now I have a personal question to ask. Okay, with fishnets. Now, will you wear them other than like a costume? Do you actually wear? I was actually about to say I really like wearing fishnets. If I wear shorts in the wintertime or in the chillier weather, they're a good accessory to kind of flesh out an outfit. I think that fishnets, when in the middle of the throes of passion, if you're with your significant other and they're wearing fishnets,

that they're inviting to be ripped off. Just as a playful, fun thing. You know what I mean? Because they're so easy. They would be so easy to tear. Marissa, has that ever happened in your life?

You would remember that. Come on. Well, okay, it's a difference. So I think the only time that's happened, I was wearing like thigh-high fishnets. Oh, okay. So I was already prepared. Okay. I keep an electric carving knife next to the bed. All right. So according to this, practical pajamas like flannel sets, onesies, or overnight night shirts can dampen intimacy...

Uh, the expert in this, uh, interview says, uh, comfort kills urgency. And when partners choose comfort over attraction, the mindset can seep into other parts of the relationship. Science backs up the idea that ditching pajamas and sleeping in your birthday suit could improve both romance and overall satisfaction.

and may have some other positive benefits as well. No, I don't like being too loose as I'm in bed. I don't like... I don't like fully naked either. No, that's what I'm saying. I mean, my nutsack. Dude, it's a guy problem. It's a problem, yeah. It's your leg. It ends up over my shoulder, and I'm like, what the hell? You're a little bit older. My dog ends up in between my legs, so I need a barrier. What are you doing out there? I'm not...

I'm not doing anything. Who's my daddy? So a 2024 study from Avocado Green Mattress revealed that 62% of nude sleepers have more satisfying sex lives. It's like an environmentally friendly mattress. Oh, okay. It's just a bunch of avocados. I think the name of the company is Avocado. Oh.

Sleeping naked may boost metabolism, according to OBGYN Dr. Keisha Gaither. My gynecologist says the absolute opposite. Who says that going to bed without clothes helps regulate sleep hormones like melatonin, possibly helping with weight loss as well. Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes T-shirts, sometimes no T-shirts, but definitely underwear. I sleep on top. I have one blanket. I don't sleep under the covers. I never do that. And I keep my feet warm.

available in case a witch tries to staple me into the bed. So nothing covers you while you're sleeping? A blanket. So you do have a blanket? Yeah. So you are covered. A blanket. Yeah, but you know, I have to be secure. But you sleep on top of the made bed. Comforter. Yeah. And then you have a blanket on top of you there. Right. So the bed is made. I'm sleeping on top of the made bed with my blanket.

Gotcha. Again, easy access and shoes right by the bed in case a deer breaks in. Is there a blue blanket by any chance? Blue blanket! You can't live without your blue blanket. I can't. I freak. Because you'll lose it.

I'm sorry. I don't like people touching my blue blanket.

It's not important. It's a minor compulsion. I can deal with it if I want to.

It's just that I've had it ever since I was a baby, and I find it very comforting. Stephen is blanket. All right, survey says... All right, chatGBT can answer all kinds of questions. What are Americans using it for the most? That is the question of this particular survey that was asked. Six in ten people, 60% of U.S. adults, say that they've used chatGBT for advice or information.

Of those who've used it, 70% say that they found the advice helpful. Topics that people trust the AI tool with most include...

career advice, educational support, and product recommendations. So what I see it used the most, people will use it, write me a letter to a lawyer, or they help with the framework of something, a legal document, a formal document, something they need to write, spell check, grammatic checking, stuff like that. What do you use it most for? I had...

Recently, wonderful success with it. And so I was writing a letter to help someone in my sphere out with some financial trouble that has been going on for a long, long time. I needed to share some very harsh information with this person.

So I wrote down all the facts and I wrote it as I would write it. And then I took it to chat GPT and I wrote in, I need to make this sound more encouraging. That's cool. Dude, it came back with the right words.

And I tweaked a little bit of things that didn't sound like me. And I sent it off. And the return response that I got was even better than I had anticipated. Wow. It was very helpful. You're relaying what is a key to this. Be as comprehensive as you can in your request. Give it examples of what you want.

describe tone, describe all of this stuff, and you got back what you want. And then you tweaked it. Because what it does is it searches in the global internet database for all of existing letters, things that approximate it, advice from resource materials that suggest how to write a letter this way, and it

synthesizes it into something in that moment that helped you. Another thing that has helped me out with and with this person that I'm trying to help out, I'm trying to find resources that they can use to help them. And so when you go into Google, whatever search engine you're using, you punch in, um,

I'm just not trusting the responses that I get on a regular basis. Google? I'm getting a lot of ads. Obviously, the first few ones are ads. Yeah. And then the other ones kind of fall into this routine that aren't quite helping me out. And by using the AI tool, I found that it expands out a little bit more and finds things that you can spend.

Yeah.

So a third of the users say that they actually trust ChatGPT more than a human expert in at least one area. But they don't trust it when it comes to two important areas, legal advice and medical advice.

I think you can get medical direction or ideas, but straight up advice needs to come from a physician that has actually seen you. Well, but it's culling from physicians as well. So you're getting it. It's just how you process it. Yeah. I mean, I'm still going through with my breast augmentation. Understood. And you're in the early stages. Yeah. Thank you. Not too perky? No, no, no, no, no, no. Very subtle.

Despite its growing popularity, just 11.1% think that ChatGPT will improve their personal financial situation. What about hygiene? It doesn't mention anything about hygiene. Do I smell? Younger adults aged 18 to 29 trust ChatGPT more than older generations do. Older Americans and high-income earners are the most skeptical about the tool's reliability. Dear ChatGPT, should I use Blue Emu?

When asked if chat TBD would do more harm or good to humanity, only 14.1% strongly agree it will benefit humanity. We used it the other day just to kind of give us an idea. We have a swim spa from Endless. I heard about that. And so right now it's just it's parked on a concrete slab and there's nothing dynamic around it. And we're just kind of like we're sort of confused as to how to...

efficiently and without spending a ton of money dress up around the area. And we chucked it to Chachi PT. What did they say? What was the suggestion back? They gave us a picture back. I was like, okay. Surrounded with garbage cans. Yeah, and it

works you know what do they suggest um just some like some some planners some arborvitae yeah um you know like walking stones i apologize i missed the first part of that i was reading the next story that i have coming up did you you put in a picture of your picture of what it looked like yeah and then it just doctored up the picture with uh ai wow uh yeah and i'll show you what what it came up with but it was um

It was pretty impressive. I mean, we're not going to go with what they sent us. Gave you some ideas. You don't want the guillotine? A lot of times this is a good idea starter. That's really it. Use it as that tool. That's what it spit back out at. Where's the original picture? Can I scroll through your photos? It was a D-pick. How many D-picks did you do? Oh my God.

I didn't know you had that, Casey. Yeah, it's impressive. That's very impressive. No, that looks really cool, by the way. Hold on, Casey. I just want to see. But yeah, so there are obviously a bunch of different reasons and applications for that. So people are digging it. All right, I got another survey I'm going to share with you. This is according to a poll of 2,000 people.

The most popular all-time people for quarter one of 2025. The most popular all-time people for Q1? That's rather refined. Well, these people were surveyed in Q1 of 2025. Who's the best person this part of the year? To give you who... They have a popularity personality and a...

famous personality. So they put the two numbers together and... They can sometimes... Both can be the same thing, right? Yeah, they came up with this. So do you want me to start from the top down? Yeah, I'm curious to how... What the decision was. All right, the number one most popular all-time person in quarter one of 2025...

Is, and I wish Caliendo was here, Morgan Freeman. Oh, wow. Yeah. So Morgan Freeman. I don't do as well as he does, but I can get in the ballpark. A couple of them were some voices that Caliendo was doing yesterday, because number two is Robin Williams. So this is a live or dead, obviously. Okay, all right.

One of the great joys of my life, Preston, when we had Robin Williams on the show. And you made him laugh. Made him laugh. Yeah. I'm like, by the way, great, a sweetheart, a wonderful interview, energetic. Yeah. He's what you wanted him to be. Number three on this list, here's a bit of a surprise, Keanu Reeves. Listen, Keanu is now elevated to that position.

He's nice to everyone. I love the footage of him. He's doing some sort of signing someplace and a little kid comes up and he's a big fan of Duke Caboom. Yeah. And Keanu engages him. It's the sweetest friggin' thing. And my wife has a massive crush on him. He's got a reputation for being a nice guy from what I understand. So that's cool to hear. Number four on this list is Albert Einstein. Keanu Reeves beat Albert Einstein. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

E equals MC squared? Do they encounter one another in Bill and Ted's? I believe they do at some time, right? I don't remember Feinstein. Maybe Bogus Journey, maybe. I don't remember Feinstein. I don't think he was in... Yeah, he might have been in the second movie, but... Yeah, you know what? He was. He's in heaven. He's in Bogus Journey. They go to heaven. You're right. Okay. Yes.

Einstein is number four, followed by, and here's another one out of left field, Jackie Chan. Well, okay. Isn't that wild? So Jackie Chan is beloved. Yeah. Especially in Hong Kong and in Asian cinema. But these were Americans that were surveyed. So have you seen the coming attractions for the trailer for the new...

Karate Kid movie. It looks awesome. It looks great. I am so on board for this. I got pulled into the Karate Kid world with Cobra Kai. I didn't think I would, and it became one of my all-time favorite shows, and now...

I see the Daniel LaRusso character as more viable in the martial arts world after watching this show. And I think this movie could really work. Well, you know what they're doing, too? They're employing a type of martial arts that is very Hong Kong cinematic. So it's very true to Jackie Chan's roots. Yes.

And I love it. So in the trailer, they need to combine their efforts to help this kid out. He needs whatever style that Jackie Chan is training him in, but they need the Miyagi-Do to balance this out, and so they want to work together. And I love this idea, and I hope this movie is as good as it looks like it's going to be. Are you a fan of his classic Hong Kong movies?

Like Police Story and stuff like that. I only know scenes from them. I don't know whole films. I mean, there's some that are... What is the...

Rumble in the Bronx, I think it is. So they're hilarious scenes. They're supposed to be in the Bronx, in New York. Yeah. And you look on the horizon, you see snow-covered mountains. Yeah, yeah. What part of the Bronx is that? All you got to do is get me Jackie Chan doing the thing where he runs up the two walls, the corner, and I'm in. It's just you can't believe it when you see...

when he does that. Every movie has the outtakes and the fails, the stunt fails at the end. Yep. And he gets hurt bad sometimes. All right. Number six on this list of the most popular all-time people, quarter one of 2025, Samuel L. Jackson. Huh. Comes in sixth. And Samuel L. Jackson beats out number seven, Martin Luther King Jr. What?

Samuel L. Jackson beat Martin Luther King Jr.? Which is pretty... Wouldn't it be great to see Sam Jackson playing Martin Luther King as Jules from... Right, right, yeah. Pulp Fiction? He flips. I mean, he does rattle off a fake biblical...

Fake Bible passage. Yeah, that doesn't exist. Ezekiel 25. But they do use it at the end of Endgame. Yep. Yeah. It's on his tombstone. The path of the righteous man. It's not Endgame. It's Captain America...

Winter Soldier. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When they play off that he's dead. Yeah. I have hands up with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday play. Monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane. All right. Then we have number eight, Betty White. Wow. Most popular all-time people. Number nine is Abraham Lincoln. Oh. And then number 10, we were just talking about him earlier, Denzel Washington. What? Huh?

Yeah. None of these people are really divisive. There's not much about any of them that you're like, I like Denzel, but he's kind of a jerk. Most of these people are just nice people who don't say or do much to divide. You never hear people go, don't get me started about Lincoln. Right. Let me rattle off a couple because number 14 is interesting. Number 11,

is James Earl Jones, number 12, John F. Kennedy, 13, Dolly Parton, and number 14, Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito! Isn't that great? Well, again, everyone loves Danny DeVito. Mm-hmm.

I've met like four or five of these people. I met Sam Jackson, met Denzel, never met Martha the King. No, he died before I was born. Met Sam Jackson and Danny DeVito. Yeah, there's a few on this list that I've been lucky enough to have met. Steve, you were at a meet and greet with Abraham Lincoln one time if I remember. Abraham Lincoln and a sweetheart, a sweetheart.

You'd think, okay, this guy's going to be like a high rise. He wasn't as tall as I thought. Oh, okay. Yeah. And he was, for the time, he was doing snuff and gummies. Did he have the hat on? No. Actually, when he took the hat off, his hair was in the shape of the hat. And he looked like Kid and Plague.

I'll finish this up. Eddie Murphy, 15. Then Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Dr. Seuss at number 18, Leonardo da Vinci, and rounding out the top 20 is Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock and Leonardo da Vinci, the way history intended it. Yep, yep, yep. So these are the most popular people of all time. She's the only one...

representing Demolition Man in there. Lincoln was in that as well. Yeah, because Wesley Snipes didn't make it on here. Neither did Stallone. So, yeah, I guess you're right about that. Lincoln's also in one of the Bill and Ted's movies. That's right. All comes back to Keanu. That's right. All right, do we have time for one more? Yeah. All right, one more.

All right, let's go with this one. A poll of 2,000 U.S. adults were asked about their favorite childhood products. By the way, do you notice that the most consistent polling amount is 2,000 people? It is. Yeah. Yeah, generally. A lot of these come from the same like YouGov and they standard ask 2,000 people. So more than...

half retired products are more valuable to the people polled than any brands that they currently offer. The average person would pay a third...

32% more for the products they loved as kids to be brought back from their favorite brands. Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed would likely shop from brands they associate with childhood nostalgia. Food things? I'll give you the example. I'll tell you one off the bat that I wish was around I'd pay 30% extra for. Radioactive Pops was my favorite breakfast cereal. No, I was actually thinking Puddin' Pops.

I loved Jell-O Pudding Pops. They're not around? No, they're not. Not for a long time. So here... Why is that? Here's old school products. What could possibly have happened to the brand to make it unpopular?

Get unpopular with people. What association could have ended in a going away? Respondents think... I, for the life of me, can't figure that out. Deserve a revival include classic Atari, Sega, and Nintendo consoles. So, okay, though there are emulators and there are systems that actually, that you could get that look like those classic systems. Mm-hmm.

Then we have Crystal Pepsi. I don't know who likes Crystal Pepsi. Banana Nesquik. Blackberry phones. iPods.

Jolt Soda. Jolt Cola. Oh, my God. Remember that? Jolt Cola was the preferred finals week soda. Everyone could figure that it was giving them a rush. If you were a trucker, you needed all that sugar and caffeine. Then we have Surge Soda. Wow. So caffeine is clearly a popular item. Nick, you don't remember Surge? Uh-uh. So we had a promotional item that we got. What?

from Surge Cola, Surge Soda, and it was an alarm clock, and we actually used it at Camp Out for Hunger in our first couple of years. I think it was when we got over the Metroplex, but when the alarm clock would go off, Nick, it was somebody going, Surge!

Surge! Surge! That's brilliant. Surge! And you just wanted to beat it with a sledgehammer. That's a good marketing item. It actually worked great for getting dressed. How much does that work for Pierre? Up and out of bed. Nope. No. No, nothing would ever work. Discharge a firearm next to his head. Yeah. And then the other product that people would like to see, one of those mentioned, was bubble gum jeans.

Anybody remember that? I don't remember. Will you chew your pants? Bubblegum jeans. No, I assume it's a brand name. Sounds familiar. Sounds very, very familiar. Those pants taste delicious. More than half would be... Would buy secondhand products from their favorite classic brands. He was just talking about recently was the...

The meteoric surge of Z Cavaricci pants and the precipitous drop-off. They just went away. What do you think caused that? I don't know. Because they were everywhere. It was like the Ed Hardy stuff for a while. Everywhere and then gone. But they were everywhere without advertisements. I don't remember seeing commercials. It was just this trend everywhere.

And then they went away. They just stopped existing. All right, you unlocked a memory. Bubblegum jeans were jeans you'd buy at Wet Seal or 579. They were just a brand of jeans. But they were tight and very low-rise, very Britney jeans. Oh, all right. I was totally thinking actual bubblegum. I know, I was thinking too. I was trying to remember. Bubble yum. There is something that has made a resurgence that I haven't had since it's been back. Clearly Canadian jeans.

Where does that again? I know that name. Do you remember that drink? So it was... Like sparkling water? It was sparkling water. It was when I was in like middle school and there was wild cherry and grape and it was in like a bulbous little clear... Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Vinyl.

Lightly blue but clear. Yeah. It had like a little picture of cherries on it or whatever. Yeah, exactly. I think you can get it at like Acme now. I don't think I am aware of this product. All right. The jeans made me think of the brand that I used to wear and I liked their marketing was, Steve, do you remember Britannia jeans? Yes, absolutely. My home is Philadelphia, but I live in Britannia.

And I loved those jeans. Nothing comes between me and my Britannia but a little bit of schmutz.

Brand loyalty runs deep. That 73% say that they'd keep paying for their favorite brands and products even if prices skyrocketed. And overall, they'd pay about 25% more for them, but they'd be willing to pay more for gaming brands, jewelry and watch brands, and also fitness brands. Those are the most popular ones. There was a thing that I effing loved, and it came out about...

12, 15 years ago, maybe a little bit longer, it was Google TV. You had a little wireless keyboard. And you could use your TV. Now you can throw your TV, your laptop up on the screen. But you could sit there. If you were looking for a movie, you know, I mean, you could use... You basically turned your TV set into a full computer. Yeah, it was a monitor for you, right? Yeah. And it was great, especially when you're searching for movies...

Now, mind you, you can just talk into the remote now and do it. But I love the interface. I loved... And it was just wonderful. It was easy to use. It was cool. And they just discontinued the whole freaking thing. Happens, folks. And then we got to deal with it. All right. That is all we have time for. And survey says... All right. We have stuff to get to. In fact...

We have a meet and eat this morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Our friends from Mr. Sticky's in Pottstown. God, I love these friggin' things. Stopping by with their award-winning sticky buns. They have sticky buns with walnuts, cinnamon buns, vanilla icing, sticky witch breakfast sandwiches. I'll say that again. Sticky witch breakfast sandwiches. Press it.

Oh, wait. Would you feed me one and spank me at the same time? If you're good. I will listen.

I would like to give away a $50 gift card. We'll take caller number... I can take caller numbers. Yeah! I forgot we could do that. Oh, my God. Caller number 13, 610-660-9333. You can usher in summer with strawberries and cream cinnamon buns from Mr. Sticky's in Pottstown. Follow them on Facebook for exclusive savings. Mr. Sticky's, warning, extremely addictive, and you will find them at 600 Heritage Drive in

Pottstown, Pennsylvania. So caller number 13, we're going to set you up with that right now. When we come back, we're going to get into the Bizarre File. In a little while, we are going to unveil a game that we are excited to play, one we've never done before, and I think we'll enjoy the local tie to it. And we have concert tickets, including Metallica tickets. Yes, we do. We'll be back in a moment. Stay with us.

Real quick, two short outs before we get into the bizarre file. This is from Megan Diener, D-I-E-N-E-R. I'm not sure how you pronounce that, Diener. She said, hey, would you please say happy birthday to my brother, Jimmy? Jimmy!

Happy birthday. He turns 30 on Tuesday, May 20th. He's got a great ass. Oh, it says he usually listens on his way to work between 7 and 7.20. So somebody's got to tell Jimmy about it. Jimmy! She says, you guys are awesome. Love your show. And thank you so much for the last Gadsooks. And that is Megan from War Minster. So happy birthday, Jimmy.

And her husband, Brian, as they count down the days until their little boy, Lane Michael, makes his grand entrance. Our whole family is giddy with excitement as we get ready to welcome my first grandson, who is due on June 12th. If anyone is ready to take on motherhood, it's Kelsey. I have no doubt that she'll push.

See what I did there? He says, through these final weeks beautifully. Kelsey listens to your podcast every day, and I hope hearing this will give her a smile, maybe even a laugh as she waits for Lane's arrival. Thank you, Preston and the entire MMR crew, and I hope that you all have a safe and memorable summer. And that is from Holly Artilio. So here is...

A shout out and good luck with everything. Two more birthday shout outs. A personal one for my nephew, David. Today is his birthday. So happy birthday, D-Money. And then also our friend, Mike Green, Limo Mike. His daughter, Kara. Kara Green is 23 years old today. Remember, she was a kid coming around to our events. Can I throw one in really quickly, too? I woke up to a text message from Matt.

My husband, and he said he was at the Phillies game last night, and when he came back to the bar, the shambles, there's a ton of Preston and Steve fans watching the Phillies game. The Phillies are in Denver this week playing the Rockies. Had a blowout. The entire stadium was just filled with Phillies fans. It was pretty great. Oh, I love that. So shout out to all those people. I didn't get any names or anything, but a ton of people watching the game at the shambles.

If anyone out there knows anyone in Denver, tell them to head on over. Yeah, absolutely. All right, time to move on to the beat file. Let's fire this up now. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File.

It's brought to you by Pro Team Collision. If you find yourself in an accident, trust the pros. Pro Team Collision, your trusted auto body repair shop located in King of Prussia. Go to proteamcollision.com now. This may not be the entire bizarre file, but most of it is going to be dominated for the first time ever by chickens. Chickens! Yes.

I, for one, am excited. A Delaware animal shelter is trying to care for and rehome thousands of chicks that survived being left in a postal service truck for three days. What? Trapped in a warm enclosure without food and water. Thousands died before they were discovered. Oh, my God.

Involved parties are still awaiting answers as to how 12,000 chicks were abandoned within the truck at a Delaware mail distribution center. The United States Postal Service said in an email that it was aware of a process breakdown and was actively investigating what occurred.

Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery raised the chicks for their weekly distribution to clients across the country. Due to biosecurity concerns, the hatchery cannot take the chicks back. The spokesperson said that it would have been best if the United States Postal Service

after discovering the chicks had completed delivery as the recipients would have been adequately equipped to handle the birds, even malnourished ones. Right now we're left with no option other than to blow up the truck. For more than two weeks, the surviving chicks have been nursed and cared for at First State Animal Center and SPCA. And John Perana, the executive director, said...

Last Tuesday, the shelter began offering the birds for adoption, but only a few hundred out of the thousands have been picked up. There's no complete count of the chicks as the shelter has no feasible way to do so, but Parana estimates that there could be more than 2,000 available. So if you're looking for, a lot of people are raising chickens.

chickens in their backyards. Is this an opportunity? Is there a point of contact? So some have inquired about buying the birds for meat, but as a no-kill shelter and SPCA, those were refused. The strain has turned the animal care center into a 24-7 operation and necessitated a staffing increase, Parana said.

Money remains the biggest concern for the donation-reliant nonprofit. Some employees have begun spending their own money to support the operations. And among the birds were not just young turkeys, geese, and quail. Oh, my. But the...

I saw what you did there. But the vast majority were Freedom Ranger chicks. One concern for the shelter, Parana explained, was the increasing demand for space and feed over time as Freedom Rangers

Take about 10 weeks to reach maturity. Well, this is... Hopefully they can rectify this. I know a lot of people are interested in that. Would you ever do it? If I had a fenced-in yard, I wouldn't even think twice about it. I would totally do it. But, you know, I have two friends that have chickens.

And it's great. Preston, you could buy them and have your dogs rip them up. Totally. They'd have a ball. All right, here's another story. A Todd County, Kentucky chicken farm was destroyed during Friday night's storms. Oh, the horror. A tornado stuck around 7 p.m., devastating four barns that house 10,000 chickens each, so about 40,000 chickens in total. Debbie. Marco. They're all named.

Donnie 2. Cleanup crews arrived at the scene at 4 a.m. to begin recovery efforts after the powerful storm scattered chickens. Listen to this. Scattered chickens as far as two miles from the property. Wow. So they were just scattered all over. I can fly.

A catching crew works to recover as many surviving chickens as possible. Oh, this is devastating. We're looking at the facility here. Though some will need to be euthanized. The farm owner says he plans to rebuild it even after the cleanup. Fortunately, no people were injured during the storm. All right. And then another story. More than 300 firefighters from around the country are battling the Brimson Complex, which are two major fires still burning largely uncontained in the forests of North Duluth.

The fires have scorched around 50 square miles of trees and destroyed about 150 structures, including many homes and cabins near the town. A lot of wild chickens in that area. Well, listen, yeah, but amidst the devastation, uplifting stories have emerged from the ashes of community members rallying around those in need or firefighters working tirelessly to save homes and beloved animals with a will to survive. Michaela Schliep.

She and her boyfriend had just gotten back to the house they were building for the past few years. They wanted to grab a couple more things, but then fire roared across the highway toward them and engulfed their neighbor's house. They drove through fires across the road to escape. She was convinced that the last time we'd see her home was then, but she had heard from emergency responders somehow her house survived. She said, I thought we lost everything, but you know, I had some chickens and they're gone. And that's pretty emotional, she said. I know they're just chickens, but I'm not going to let them go.

but it's like, man, those are part of my family. As Schliep escaped, a crew of firefighters pulled up to her house. They started to spray water on a pile of siding that was burning next to the house to prevent her home from going up in flames when he saw a chicken emerge from somewhere. Oh, Schliep, it's good to see you. He said it came walking up to the fire engine and

It kind of just hung out around the engine, around people. Listen, I lived here, and my owners, I'm sure, are out of their minds. Firefighter Beth Hazelow was there, too. She said, I noticed the chicken right away. That's a chicken. Chickens of her own said that she just kind of felt really, really bad for her and was hoping that I could take her home. I wasn't sure if I would get in trouble, but I just couldn't leave without her and was hoping that I could maybe make somebody's day a little brighter by saving the chicken.

When they were ready to leave, the chicken was hiding under the engine. She said, so I crawled under the truck and I was able to get a hold of her and roll up with the chicken and pass her off to Beth. The credo of every firefighter, save the chicken. The chicken was in rough shape. She had burns on her and the feathers were kind of singed. She obviously experienced quite a bit before she got out of there. But Hazel O took the chicken back to her house.

And then she called Michaela to tell her the good news. And she said she was over the moon. She thought all her chickens had died. She said, you know, it was me, the dog, the chickens. And I couldn't get us all out at one time. The chicken's name is Reba, by the way. Gene, you don't have to add her to the list. Reba. Come on over. Bring some biscuits. Reba's doing fine and even laying eggs again. That's amazing. That's a story of triumph. Of survival. In light of...

What could be tragedy, Preston? Three inspiring stories. I thought you might want to hear those. Thank you. And there you go. That's all I have. That was an old chicken bizarre file. It was an old chicken bizarre file. In nearly 30 years. I've never had that occur. Thematically, how many of those have you pulled off over the decades? Like five. Five. Yeah, that's it. So it's a rare thing. It's like finding a pearl. Yeah, exactly. All right. That is what I have in the B-file.

A couple of things here. Mr. Stickies is here. Yeah! We have got some goodies to give away. I have a $50 gift card for Mr. Stickies in Pottstown. We'll take call number 9 at 610-660-9333. Before you head out for Memorial Day weekend, make sure you pre-order Mr. Stickies award-winning sticky and cinnamon buns. Like I said, they're in Pottstown off Heritage Drive. And we need to warn you because Mr. Stickies is extremely addictive. Some of that real sticky, icky, icky.

They brought some goodies here for us this morning. So we can set you up with that. So call number nine. You'll be taken care of. And the winning is just beginning. We're going to take a break. We're going to come back in a moment. We're going to play a game. We're going to try something out. Amongst the things to win, a variety of concert tickets, including Metallica. So make sure you stay with us. We'll be back in just a moment. All right.

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

WMMR.com. And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. Wow. What a time to be alive. WMMR.com. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Marissa. So, we're going to do a game. The game that we are going to do, we are going to take...

Winners or contestants via Zoom today. I know we have the phone line set up, but we're going to try Zoom. We're going to bounce back and forth from time to time and use these varieties of technology that we have at our fingertips these days. If we don't do this, how are you going to have a cerebral hemorrhage? This is true. So if you want to get in on this game, you got to text the word Zoom to 610-660-6100.

And you can play. Now, the game we have never played before. Ladies and gentlemen, the first time we ever have done this, we are unveiling a new game. And it is called Rizzo Quizzo. Yeah! What the hell does that mean? You crumb bum. So, we have actually gotten Frank Rizzo...

The Frank Rizzo. Just me. Yeah, him. To ask a series of general trivia questions. General knowledge trivia. And if you answer it correctly, we got some great prizes to give away. It has long been assumed...

that had Frank Rizzo not had the career he had, he would have ended up as a game show host. I mean, it lends itself. You saw how charismatic he is. Especially in the video footage of him with the CBS reporter. So, Casey, do you have our list of prizes to give away? I do. What all do we have a chance for people to win? Well, it's a series of concert tickets, right? So we have tickets to see Mount Joy at the Man in September, or we have tickets to see...

Metallica on Sunday at the link. Or we have tickets to see Jet. And that's going to be at the Fillmore on June 4th. You have time as we're going through this to get someplace where you can get on Zoom. You can get on it on your phone as well. So...

We'll give you a little breathing room because these are good tickets. Yeah, so text the word ZOOM to 610-6609-333. We'll start putting people in the queue and set up before we dive into the game and start giving some stuff away. But these are just the three of us, four of us, me and you. Yeah, that's it. And we'll all play the game and you're going to love how this rolls out because...

Frank is going to ask the questions. You've never heard him this way. Nope. And I'm excited to present that. Now, listen, while we're getting the contestants in line and all set to go, I want to mention the big frigging deal this morning because this is a really, really good one. We always have great deals. But this one is wonderful because when you head to the shore for the summertime, you want to make sure that you guys...

Get a chance to do some exciting stuff. Going to the beach is wonderful and laying there and lounging, but you also want to have some action involved. So the big frigging deal this week is for Maury's Piers. And you can get same-day ride and water park combo tickets for just $70. And that is a $50 savings per ticket. That's crazy.

Awesome. And you end up with unlimited rides on three piers and both water parks for a whole day. And you can make the summer unforgettable at Morris Pier. So what you need to do is go to WMMR.com slash deals. And you can take advantage of that. These are usually while supplies last. In fact, yes, it says officers. Officers. Officers.

Offers while supplies last. So this one sells out. And this is a perennial for you guys, right? Multiple times during the summer, right? No doubt. Listen, I love Maurice Pierce in the daytime, right? I like to go and do the water park, hang out there as much as possible. And then when the actual rides open up, which is usually around noon or so. That's when evil Casey comes out. That's when evil Casey comes out, yeah. Yeah.

By the way, speaking of the shore and all that, we're waiting to get our contestants on a reminder about the eggs with peg celebration and the live broadcast at Kenan's. We're going to be giving away great prizes into I had already said the seagull screech off. Winner gets 300 bucks. The the prize for crowd surfing. Five hundred dollars. Great. All you have to do is sit there, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Water sports adventure package for two, courtesy of Mission Impossible as well. And you can end up parasailing, jet skiing, dolphin cruise, or paddle boarding with that. Could you imagine jet skiing on a dolphin? I don't know if you can be a drone. And also, we're going to be giving stuff away from Mission Impossible Final Reckoning. We'll have some prize packs and things like that. And we also have, and we're very excited about this.

A set of his and hers beach cruiser bikes from Zippy's Bikes in Wildwood. That's your place. That's my jam. Yeah. Yep. Everyone in attendance can register on site. You don't have to do a contest, nothing. You just got to get signed up for it. Yeah. And I also want to mention that the cash that we are giving away for, you know, Seagull Screech Off and some of these other contests is courtesy from our friends at Stake Em Up. Mike from Stake Em Up every year. The best. He just hands over the cash for us to give away. All right. You guys ready to play Quizzo, Rizzo, Quizzo? Yes. All right. Let's do it.

Let's get this thing underway. He's a former cop, so I think we play some police theme music. All right, we have our first contestant up, and we are going to go to Mike. Hey, Mike, how you doing, bud? Hey, guys. Gadzooks. Gadzooks. All right, Rizzo Quizzo. First time we've ever done this. It's general knowledge, and I do not ask the question. Frank Rizzo asks the question. Mike, you ready to try this out?

We're going to try this out. All right, here's our first question. All right, here we go. Mr. Rizzo, let it rip. What did George Jefferson do for a living, you dumb son of a bitch? Did he own a salvage yard?

No. I know who you're thinking of. Yeah, that's... Fred Sanford. Fred Sanford and Sanford and Son. Let me play that one more time. What did George Jefferson do for a living, you dumb son of a bitch? All right, so I...

We gotta let you go, Mike. Thank you anyway, though. We appreciate it. So do we reveal or do we go on to someone else? I think we reveal because somebody can easily look up the question after that. So, no, he was a dry cleaner. In fact, owned a chain of dry cleaning stores. That is correct. All right, we have our next contestant up for Rizzo Quizzo. And, Casey, you want to add something? Just, Mercer wants me to ask our

Zoomers to please disconnect after our call is over. Oh, yes. Please disconnect after the call is over, if you would, please. All right. Up next is Brian. Hey, Brian, how you doing, my man?

Good. How are you? Good. All right, Brian Rizzo Quizzo. You ready? Ready. Here's our next question. Let's see what we got. Okay. You piece of shit. What is the full title of the fourth Indiana Jones movie? Wow. He brought a little bit of extra oomph. Yeah, I'm going to play that again. Here we go. Okay. You piece of shit. What is the full title of the fourth Indiana Jones movie?

Brian, do you know what the fourth Indiana Jones movie is? I'll go with Raiders of the Lost Ark. That is incorrect. Sorry, but no, it was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. All right, Brian, you need to disconnect from the call, please. By the way, as time goes on,

is a much more enjoyable viewing experience. There are some good moments in that, especially, you know, despite protecting yourself from a nuclear bomb by hiding in a refrigerator, there's some really good moments. All right, up next we have Chad, who's joining us. Yo, Chad. What's going on, guys? Gazooks. Gazooks. All right, so we've had two questions so far. Did you know the answers to those?

I didn't even hear him. I'm driving. All right. That's all right. You're fresh. We got a new one for you. And let's see if you know the answer to this one. Mr. Rizzo? After I take all of you behind that fence over there and beat your lush, creep, crumb, bum, crepe, cream, creme faces in, you might have me arrested for committing what? All right. If he beats your ass. What was that again, Ked? Assault. Assault is correct. Yes! Woo!

All right, what are we going to give Chad? Is he going to choose or are you going to give him something? Chad, no. I'm going to hook you up. I'm going to hook you up with a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Metallica M72 World Tour this Sunday, May 25th at Lincoln Financial Field with Pantera. Pantera is opening up that show on Sunday. Single day tickets are on sale right now for both shows via Ticketmaster. It is a no repeat weekend with two different sets performing in the round with different openers each night. What do you think about that, Chad?

Bro, I am super stoked. And this is Chad the Rad, by the way. Chad the Rad. All right, Chad the Rad. Hang on, man. We got to get your info. We'll make sure that Sam in the other room takes care of all that. Okay, so we got a winner. That's wonderful. All right, we have several other. We have 10 of these all together. So we got a chance to get some winners. All right, next, we are going to talk to Jen. Hi there, Jen. Hi there. Nice to see you joining us via Zoom this morning. Where are you checking in from today, Jen?

I'm down near Harrisburg. Oh, wow. And I stream you guys every morning. Thank you so much. We love it. All right, Jem, we're going to try this out on you and see if you know via Frank Rizzo. You ready? Okay, give it to me. Rizzo Quizzo, here we go. Listen up, you jerk-off. What is the most common element on the planet Earth? And for the record, I couldn't give two shits.

Wow. He's cantankerous, isn't he? I'll play it one more time, Jen. Hang on. One more time. Here we go. Listen up, you jerk-off. What is the most common element on the planet Earth? And for the record, I couldn't give two shits. What is the most common element on Earth? I think you probably can put this together.

I can't give two shakes. Do I say, is it sodium? That is incorrect. Sorry. We were pulling for you, too. Thank you so much for listening. I knew that wasn't going to be right. All right. Well, thank you, Jen. Take a second guess. We can't give you the prize. Well...

Oh, we lost her. Yeah. All right. It has here the answer is oxygen, but I thought it was nitrogen. It said oxygen when I did the check. Okay. Whatever it was. I thought it was carbon. It wasn't sodium. All right. It definitely wasn't sodium. All right. Let's get another contestant up to play Rizzo Quizzo and see if you can answer the questions that the former mayor has. He's a wealth of knowledge, actually. He is. And his approach is different than, say, your Alex Trebek or your other...

classic game show host, but he brings a little extra spark, I think. All right, we've got Ian joining us next. Hey, Ian, how you doing, man? Good. How are you guys? Good, bud. All right, I saw you're wearing some kind of work gloves. What are you doing right now?

I'm doing fertilizing. I'd wear gloves too. Yeah. All right, we're going to play the question from Frank Rizzo. You ready to answer this? All right. Let's see if he can get this correct. Here we go. Hey, you lousy, drunken f***. What actor was originally set to play Marty McFly? Wow. What actor was originally set to play Marty McFly? That's a tough one. Let me play that again. Hey, you lousy, drunken f***. What actor was originally set to play Marty McFly?

They actually shot scenes with him. Yeah. Which is very hard to find clips of. They shot about a half hour of the movie. All right, do you have any idea, Ian? No, my best guess would be like Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't know. Stop bothering me. No, that guy, Eric Stoltz. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

All right. Thanks anyway. Appreciate it, Ian. Have a good one, bud. Go back to fertilize and disconnect if you would, please. All right. So we have that's five. We're halfway through. We have we have 11, I think. Oh, OK. Then we are less than halfway through. And you can text the word Zoom to 610-660-9333 if you want to get in line for it. All right. We got Mike up next playing Rizzo Quizzo. Hey, Mike, how you doing, man?

Gadzooks, guys. What's happening? Gadzooks, my man. We are playing this game. Are you ready for this one?

Yes. All right, here we go. Rizzo quizzo. In the Sex and the City episode, Easy Come, Easy Go, what does the phrase funky spunk refer to? Oh, wow. In Sex and the City, what does the phrase funky spunk refer to? I'll hit it again. Hang on. In the Sex and the City episode, Easy Come, Easy Go, what does the phrase funky spunk refer to? What do you think, Mike? Say it. Demon? Damn!

You killed me! He was sitting there second-guessing, oh man, can I say this or not? Is that what it is? And that is correct. And therefore, we have a prize, Casey. All right, for you, Mike, we're going to hook you up with a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Metallica's M72 World Tour this Sunday, May 25th at Lincoln Financial Field with Pantera. Single-day tickets are on sale right now for both shows via Ticketmaster. It is a no-repeat weekend with two different sets

performing in the round with different openers each night. Nice job, my man. Awesome. Thanks, guys. You got it, bud. Have a good time. We're going to have you disconnect. Steve, you had a follow-up. In the Earth's crust, the most common element is oxygen, followed by silicon. And actually, sodium is sixth. There you go. So she did pretty well. I was pulling for it. We're pulling for everyone, you know?

Rizzo's knowledge base is just massive. I was thinking gas. Yeah. I was thinking in the atmosphere, but it means in the crust. Okay. Enrico Palazzo just texted me and said, dude, this Frank Rizzo contest is my new favorite bit. I just got home from driving his daughter to school, and he's sitting in his car laughing his ass off. Absolute genius. This is flooring me, by the way. I love it. Beautiful. All right. We have Bob joining us next. Hey, Bob. How you doing, man? Good.

Good morning. Sorry to bother you. It's all right, Bob. It looks like you're at home. Where do you live, bud? I'm up in the Nazareth area. No, I mean your exact street address. Where do you live? No, I'm kidding. Don't worry about it. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 1600 Pennsylvania. All right. Are you ready for Rizzo Quizzo? Absolutely, pal. Let's see how well you do. I'll play it twice for you. Here we go. You're a drunken jackass, but if you were a drunken mule, what two animals would have had to get it on to create you? What?

I'll serve that up one more time just so you're aware of the question. Here we go. You're a drunken jackass, but if you were a drunken mule, what two animals would have had to get it on to create you? All right. Let's see if you know the answer to that. Bob? I'm going to have to go with a horse and a pony.

Not a horse and a pony. Sorry, man. A pony is a little horse. It is a donkey and a horse. Donkey, I mean. That's what you meant. No, sorry. I was trying for you, buddy. One shot at it, but thank you. We appreciate it, my man. All right, let's see. Who else we can get? One, two, three, four more to go.

And we'll try to find more winners because we got concert tickets aplenty. All right, and it's Denise who is joining us via Zoom. Hi, Denise. Hello. All right, Denise Rizzo Quizzo. You ready? This is great. This is great. All right. Let's see if you know the answer to this one. Here it is. In what movie did Nicolas Cage play a real lush? I know a lush when I see one, and Cage was a real lush crumb creep. Okay.

I'll hit it. Ow. While you're thinking about it, let me play it. Hang on. While you're thinking about it, play it one more time. We'll just give you a little extra time. In what movie did Nicolas Cage play a real lush? I know a lush when I see one, and Cage was a real lush crumb creep. All right. He was a drunk in somewhat Vegas. Oh, God, I can't think of the name. Keep thinking. You're... Leaving Las Vegas? Yeah! You got it. You nailed it. Stopped it. Yes!

All right, what are we going to give her? All right, Denise, you and Denef, you are going to go to see Metallica M72 World Tour this Sunday, May 25th at Lincoln Financial Field with Pantera. Single day tickets are on sale right now for both shows via Ticketmaster. It is a no repeat weekend with two different sets performing in the round with different openers each night. And there we go. All right, Denise, congratulations. Are you a Metallica fan? She's gone. Yeah.

All right, we'll get another caller, another Zoomer, I should say, for Rizzo Quizzo. See if we can walk out of here with some more tickets. All right, up next, she looks very excited. We have Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, how are you? Wonderful. Where are you checking in from today? Turnersville, New Jersey. All right. First Jersey, I think.

South Jersey. First South Jersey. All right, here we go. This is the Rizzo Quizzo. Here's your question. Even a stupid, dumb, bastard, crumb creep like you should know who wrote Moby Dick. All right, I'll hit that one more time while you're thinking about it. Here we go. Just to reiterate the question and make sure that you know what it is. Even a stupid, dumb, bastard, crumb creep like you should know who wrote Moby Dick. He's so agitated. Wrote Moby Dick. I don't know.

Who? You're not going to guess any author. The author of Moby Dick. Go back to your school, your high school days. Think of a whale. I'm freezing. You're freezing? I'm freezing. Put on a sweater. I don't know. Sorry, Melissa. Herman Melville. Herman Melville. Sorry.

And he's related to Moby, the musician, hence the name. Moby Dick. He took that. And that's why he got that name, in case you did not know that. All right, we have two left.

Let's see if we can get another winner. All right, we've got Christian who is joining us, and he's got a MMR and presidency banner where he is hanging out. Hey, how you doing, Christian? Good, how are you? Good. Are you at work or home, man? I'm at work. Nice. I just had a quick question. Do you have a sister, Christian? Where are you working? What's your job?

I'm a mechanic. I work at Weddy's Auto on Cluckersville. Okay, cool, man. We appreciate you keeping that sign up there. That's great. You guys all signed it. Yeah, I can see my horrible penmanship. Did you say Cluckersville? Yeah. Where's Cluckersville? You know where Blue Mountain Resort is? Yeah.

Right near there. Wow. All right. Wonderful. All right. Well, we're playing Rizzo Quizzo. You ready? Yep. All right. Here is your question. One, two, three. Three is a magic number. Yes, it is. What band recorded that dumb song, you scumbag?

Wow. Wow. Wow. One more time. One, two, three. Three is a magic number. Yes, it is. What band recorded that dumb song, you scumbag? That's my favorite one by far. All right. Do you remember who did three is a magic number, Christian? No.

Do you know the song? No. Three is a magic number. Yes, it is. Oh, man. Sorry, bud. It was Blind Melon. Blind Melon. And that was our last one. No, no. I skipped over this one, it looks like. Oh, okay. All right. We'll do one more.

That's all we have time for right now. And coming up next, we have Chris joining us. Hey, Chris, how you doing, man? Hey, guys. Good morning. Good morning. All right, Chris, we have one last one. Rizzo, Quizo, you ready? Yeah.

Yes. Here it is. If there's a gang of you totaling eight crumb creep lushes, and I take on three of you physically and beat you to bloody pulps, how many crumb creep lushes will be left standing? Oh, wow. Okay. It's a math problem. Math problem. I'll do that one more time just so you follow along, Chris. Here's the question again. If there's a gang of you...

totaling eight crumb creep lushes and I take on three of you physically and beat you to bloody pulps, how many crumb creep lushes will be left standing? All right, Chris, how many crumb creep lushes are left standing after that? Well, going back to first grade, I'm thinking five. I think you're absolutely correct.

Receive the easiest for last. And that means you're a winner. And what are we giving Chris? Chris, we are also going to hook you up with a pair of tickets for Metallica's M72 World Tour show. This is going to be on Sunday, May 25th at Lincoln Financial Field with Pantera. And they have single-take tickets available right now for both shows via Ticketmaster. It's a no-repeat weekend. They got two different sets performing in the round with different openers each night. All right, Chris. Good to go. Enjoy, all right? Yes. All right.

All right. Hang on. Doing devil horns. All right. And there we go, gang. So what do you think? Rizzo quizzo? Yeah. You like it? So needless to say, legally, that's actually Lonnie Rizzo. Lonnie Rizzo. Yeah. Who's giving the actual questions or in the style or whatever. Frank Rizzo. All right. Glad we got some winners and we moved some tickets, which is really, really cool. So with that, we are going to take a quick break.

A reminder that Upper Merion High School is voting for coolest teacher of the year, King Prussia. Oh, and I also want to plug this too. The Walkam Island Horseshoes event is coming up, benefiting Laurel House. It's the 10th annual event. It's going to be on the 31st. So not this weekend, but the following weekend. And we hope you can join. You can go to WMMR.com and get the details. You can go to laurel-house.org as well. But come and join us for that event. It's going to be a great time. We're going to take a quick break. Come back in a moment. Stay with us.

The MMR app can't remember your Wawa order, but it can pair with your Bluetooth or Apple or Android car system, streaming us right into your speakers. Oh, and if you could grab us a meatball shorty and an iced tea, that'd be great. Thanks.

Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme markets, hungry and in a hurry. Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast. And thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show. Now back with more of the Preston and Steve show podcast. All right. Thank you very much, Marissa. There was a conversation we were having off air, uh,

And I forgot exactly how we got into this, but Casey had brought up the general question, which is,

best money you've ever spent or best money to spend or something to spend your money on that's absolutely 100% worth it. And I forgot how we got started on that. Go ahead. No, no. I mean, listen, we've all had like really, really amazing dinners and things along those lines. But like, I still have a hard time spending, you know, a hundred bucks on a steak and I will never say that's the best money I ever spent on food. But there, you know, we spent, I don't want to say a pretty penny, but we spent a decent amount of money when we moved.

And we were only moving, what, two and a half miles away? But you have to unpack your house and then pack up a new house. And we hired movers. Now, we put everything in a box. That's right. You're talking about that. And that resonated with us. Oh, absolutely. So in that pocket, best money I ever spent is...

Like almost you were resisting it until you did it. And then it was a godsend. I remember you talking about this. Listen, my dad was a truck driver. He had a truck. So we moved everybody. My sister bought her house. We moved her. When she moved from that one house to the other house, we moved her. We moved her brother. And so when we had this opportunity to not have to lift a finger. And I just remember vividly sitting on my front porch.

just watching the movers walk in and out of my house. Boxes, pianos. How's your mid-jewel? No, listen, I didn't feel, but like... I know what you're saying. I'm like, this is the best money I've ever spent in my entire life. So here's the deal. It is such a meticulous...

arduous energy life-sucking thing to pack up your house but what a lot of people don't realize is that these companies will come in and they will they will pack things up they will mark the boxes they will do the whole thing from soup to nuts and and uh you did not have to worry about it and so all things considered minus the therapy minus the injury minus the years you would lose on your life

Worth it, right? Totally worth it. So the cost was justified. I mean, because I know that you and Diane definitely watch your money and you only spend on things that are...

or you have saved up enough for this particular creature comfort. Right. But this one was like, you guys were like, okay. Yeah. This is going to cost us, but in the long run, this is absolutely going to be worth it. And I think because we, you know, I have an informed mind when it comes to moving things because I've moved. In the family. Yeah. So I know what I saved myself. I know exactly what I spent that money on. And it was...

Still hands down the best money I've ever spent. You know what it is? It's something that you're inclined not to do because we all try to be, you know, we're not, we're not basals for Christ's sake. So you're trying to say, you know what? I don't need that. I don't need that. I don't need to do that until you do it. So one of the options on cars I've always had is the tire protection service. The tire, you know, the rims and the tires themselves. Oh, what do I want to spend on that? Why do I want to spend that?

This year, I had two flats from the gaping potholes, and I had the protection. Oh, thank God. And I just brought them in, and I got those tires replaced. Yeah. And no problem, no charge. And I'm like, that's something that I would have said, oh, that's ridiculous. I don't need that. So to me, that was money well spent, especially in this area with cataclysmic potholes. All right, 610-660-9333, best money.

money you've ever spent. Something that just stands out above all others that, okay, I spent this money, I either splurged or whatever it is, and it ended up paying off in the best. So mine is a material thing, I think anyway. We've had it for...

Over 20 years now, we bought a gym quality, like a public gym quality elliptical. Okay. It's a pre-core. Yes. And we bought it used. We bought a guy who sold used gym equipment. I'm like, yeah, sure, we'll use this. We'll exercise. Why not? And sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. Let's shake on it. So we bought this thing. It's big, bulky. It weighs 1,000 pounds. I don't know how much it weighs, but it is, my God, is it huge. And-

Uh, it, we have used that consistently for 20 years. It is not, I only had one time the battery went out on it. I had to pay like, I don't know, 60 bucks for a new battery, put it in there. And we have put thousands and thousands and thousands of miles on this thing. And I still, I used it yesterday and the day before. I still use it all the time. It is a workhorse. So why some of the best money I've ever spent. Likewise with the treadmill. I went, I didn't go.

Because you got to figure. You're going to beat the crap out of that thing. Stop and think about this, right? In days past, you would have said, I don't need that. I don't need that. I'll go to Bosco's and get to what do they got there. And it's not going to be, you get a good unit. But you know what you're going to do. You're going to get a gym quality one. Right. That's going to make the difference. And so like with the treadmill that I'm using every day along with hiking and other stuff.

Yes, it pays to spend a little bit. And again, you've had that thing how many years? Yeah, over 20 years. Yeah. I mean, come on. Come on! We have put, like I said, thousands of miles on it. It is just, now watch, it'll break tomorrow. It's going to set the house on fire. And Rochelle's going to divorce you. But it's been one of those things where every now and then I'll mention Rochelle. I'm like, damn.

We got our money's worth and then some. Now, there are things I've wasted my money on and thought were going to be a good thing, but this is just one of those that came out above the rest. I have one that I can say, and some people might consider, you know, I don't know if I want to do that. When we moved into the house, we were getting everything done and, you know, saw it put down and so on and so forth. This is years ago. And one thing someone had told me, and they said, it's money well spent, money well spent, to put in a sprinkler system. Oh, okay.

Because you get the plant, you pay to have your plants and your lawn or whatever. Anything that you're doing, if it's not being watered properly, you're just wasting money. You're setting it up to die. And so what we did is when everything was exposed, had this gentleman, Eric, who's right in the neighborhood. He's actually over in Roxborough, but close. Anyway, his company, he came in, he said, you know, small outfit, set up these things ahead of time.

And so in the summer's past when we were having droughts and plants were dying and everything was just – whatever you invested on your shrubbery went out the window. This has been working and keeping everything good. So –

You look at it on the front side and you go, I don't know if that's worth doing. But when you think of it in the long run... In the long run, yeah. Then you're going to be losing and replacing and all of this stuff is going to go out the window. So for what is essentially a fairly nominal investment...

And it stays, you know, you make that initial thing. You don't have to worry about it. And you're also, you're not over watering. You don't have the water running constantly. It's not excessive. You have like drip hoses and stuff like that. It's wonderful. So my buddy Steve just texted me. And so he's a single guy, right? So this would work for him. This wouldn't work for me. The hose thing?

No, no, no, no, no. This is what I'm about to say. He got one of those washer dryer in one unit things where you just stick the laundry in. No, no, it's just one. It's not a stackable. I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah. But like that's great for him. He's a single guy. Probably only running one load of laundry at a time. It wouldn't work for us because we just have too much laundry in the house and you can't. But like he's saying it's the best money he's ever spent. All right. They're connected. It's just one.

I don't understand. It's not stackable. Oh, it's a washer-dryer combo. Yeah, it is one box. It's not stacked. The washer and dryer are the same unit. I don't think I've ever seen this. Yeah, they've been out for a long time. People go back and forth. You either love it or you hate it. Yeah. Some people say it's not worth it. Other people love it. We looked into it for a little while because you just have one unit. It's a both-

It's one tub, but it can function as a dryer and a washer. If I were to do that, I would just get two of them. You know what I mean? Because at my house, if I'm running the wash, I can run the dryer at the same time. If I'm running the dryer, I can run it. You're saying with this guy's situation, my consideration would be if the unit goes down, you can't do either. So there you go.

All right, hang on. Let me go to... Now, some of these aren't like big appliances and things. Some are just a bargain that you got and it's paid out in the long run. And that's what Justin is going to talk about. We're going to go to him. Hey, Justin, good morning. Good morning. What's up, man? Yo, can we go back to that washer-dryer thing? Yeah. Fire up. Yeah, no, that's very interesting. No, no. My whole thing is... So I bought a folding stool.

Like one of those cheap generic plastic ones that you get on Amazon for like 11 bucks. Yeah. I don't have to bring in a six foot ladder to change people's filters. And I got a nice little sitting spot when I'm working on the four units. All right. So you spent 11 bucks on a little folding stool. And this thing uses for both work and leisure because you sit on it. And this was some of the best money you've ever spent.

And it paid off like within the first week. Justin, so I bought maybe the exact same thing. It holds like 300 pounds. It gets you up like if you're replacing recessed lights. It's super light. And the steps is like a hard plastic. You can pick it up with one, you know, a couple of fingers. But it is really sturdy. And I end up defaulting to this thing. And I think it was about 15 bucks, Justin. Sounds like kind of the same thing.

Honestly, this thing is like one foot tall. It's only one foot tall? Yeah. I have something similar. How does that help you? Oh, man, it helps a lot. You don't need to get on a full-on ladder. I'm like 5'8 over here, right? Yeah. Dude. All right. Money well spent. We appreciate it, man. On a one-foot ladder. We still have a little step stool thing. It was made by PlaySchool, you know, like the kids' product line. Yeah.

Still use that all the time. Yeah. I mean, our kids obviously have grown up, but they didn't need it ages ago, and we still use it like in our pantry. There are three different items that I got for the beach, and one of them is a collapsible stool. So that is money well spent. The other one is actually two different types of collapsible stools, and then the one that I really love is...

is my Gatorade water cooler because we were going through so much bottled water down the beach and now I'm like, we're not bringing bottled water anymore. We're just going to fill this thing up with a hose. This is what we drink on the beach. It's the best money I've ever spent. I remember something you did. You made an investment. I thought it was a great idea. You installed a ceiling fan that stops when you open the door. Right? No.

Nick, you're a bargain hunter. Is there anything that comes to mind of the best money you've ever spent? I've been trying to rack my brain. The moving thing is definitely at the top of the list. My mom said this to me a long time ago. Whenever you move, you quite literally have to touch everything in the house. And she's right. And so, Casey, I couldn't agree with you more. If you have it, obviously, if you can afford it, spend the money on it because it just saves you so much.

Headache and asshole. I hate moving. I hate helping people to move. I hate everything that surrounds moving, the stress before and during and after. So that money, I think, is great. But Steve, I was thinking about every now and then, I've splurged on something travel-wise. I bought first class for myself one time on a flight. It was an affordable first class upgrade.

I was like, I'm going to treat myself. And like that to me seemed like that was money well spent. Well, here's the thing. And I say this again, unless you're Bezos, you know, and you have whatever you have going on. If you're going to take a trip of a lifetime or a bucket list trip or it's been five years you've been planning and you're traveling a great distance. If you're going to Europe or if you're going someplace, you know, no matter where it is, there's a lot of flight.

Try to do that, Nick. Try to collect what you can. At least once or twice. Right, because if you fly and you get no sleep, unless you're the kind of person that can just pass out in any seat, for me, it's like if I can do it, I try to get that extra comfortability so I have a shot at getting rested so I'm not half-ass.

A zombie. Yeah. For the first few days of this vacation that I've saved for to enjoy. We did a trip to the Southwest a few years ago and we did it at Grand Canyon and Bryce and Zion National Parks. And for the first two thirds of the trip, we roughed it. It was a lot of camping. It was a lot of outdoors, you know, and, and so we didn't splurge at all. At the end of that trip,

We stayed in a nice hotel. So for me, that was like the reward for roughing it and camping it and not getting great night's sleep. And then at the end of the trip, air conditioning, a big comfy bed, a toilet, toilets. What a bonus. I'm going to go to we're talking about best money you've spent. I'm going to go to Jared. Hey, Jared, you're on the air, bud. Hey, good morning to see you guys. Good morning, Jared. All right. You tell us best money you've ever spent.

Oh, yeah. Vision correction surgery. What did that run you?

About $3,200. I asked it, and actually, I won a contest for a drawing where they gave $1,000 off to the hooker. That's pretty cool. I would think, I don't know about contacts and stuff, but if you're going through stuff like that, you're paying for that, I assume in just a couple of years. It's been eight years. I love it. Very cool. So, yeah, I mean, in the long run, you save money by doing it.

Yes. Yeah. Right. Right? Glasses. Expensive. All the other things that, yeah, and that's the thing. Thank you for the call, by the way, is that if you weigh...

Where you save your money. I can't hang up on this call. Let me see if I can do it over here. You've gone to Chastroom, haven't you? I have. I just want to stay talking to Jared forever. I can't hang up on you, buddy. By the way, if you are moving, and I wholeheartedly recommend you do it in little stages. My wife was the one who packed up the entire house. She did pack up the boxes and then the movers just took the boxes. If you have, let's say, a month to get ready,

you do it by stages and like little stages, like one closet. You know what I mean? That's what we did. But there are, there are movers who will come in and literally hold stuff out and pack it for you. It's really expensive though. Oh, is it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We did, we done a move where we packed it ourselves and then we, then we had the, the thing where they, they did the packing for us and it's,

There's a lot more work involved in that than just moving the stuff. And then, of course, it inevitably occurs where you go upstairs and one of the moving guys has your wife's panties on his head. Yeah, always. I have a question about this, about carpeting, because we need new carpet on our second floor.

I do not feel like moving any furniture whatsoever. That would be money well spent, right? Yeah, hire the guys to come out and do it. Actually, you know what you should do, Casey, is talk about it a bunch on the radio and maybe somebody will get it to you for free. Listen, we had the house painted. I've been doing the live commercials. Sort of approach.

They moved all the stuff. They moved everything. I'm like, oh my God, you guys are amazing. So I know it sounds like, like a client stroke session here, but I had Serta Pro do my outside and they did all of that. They, every meticulous thing they could do. And I'm just, again, I'm like the guy sitting there going, well, this mint julep tastes very good, but they got it done. And, and it,

It does matter. I think for painting, the biggest pain in the ass is the staging, like the setting up, the cutting in and the taping. Learning the show tunes. And learning the show tunes. Although I do love that. I do love it, but it can be taxed. No, you're right. All of that pep stuff is a nightmare. I don't think this. Oh, no, wait, it is working. All right, I got Mike. The touchscreen is working. Hey, Mike, you're on the air. Good morning, bud.

Hi, guys. How are you? Good. All right. Best money ever spent. What is it on? It is on a robot lawnmower. Oh. Okay. I've seen these. Oh. And so, okay. Go on. Give me the loan app. Is it a Husqvarna? No, it's a mammoth or something like that. I can't pronounce it. Mammoth. But it's an all-wheel drive robot lawnmower. I have a hill in my backyard that's like 45 degrees and a 15-year-old that doesn't want to do anything around the house.

So I fired him and hired the robot. Mike, have you given it a name?

Yes, chopper. Chopper. Chopper. Get to the chop. So let me ask you. All right. What? You take it. I assume it follows the same sort of system that a Roomba would use. You kind of, you know, kind of electronically fence it where you want to go. And then it does a couple of runs. And then I assume it is. That's all you need to do. Correct. Actually, you walk the perimeter with it, like using your phone, like a little remote control.

And then, you know, you walk around the areas you don't want it to go. And then it'll actually mow stripes and letters and everything into your lawn. Shut up. It's called a Mimotion. Mimotion, that's it. Mimotion, yeah. Luba Robot Lawn Mower. And there's a tutorial on YouTube, which is really amazing. You can program all of it, like, on your iPad or your phone. I guess I'm guessing you have an app to use it. Wow. Yeah, yep.

It is so cool. And you set the distance. My motion, yeah. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost? $1,700, but it was well worth it. I had the smallest one because I don't have a huge yard, but it's just that hill. But it trucks right up that hill, no problem. I was doing that with a hand mower because you can't ride a riding mower and it'll tip over. So you had a gas mower?

No, actually I had an Ego, like a battery-powered one. Right, I have an electric mower, but my property except for One Hill is sort of flat. Okay, I think we're looking at it right now. This looks pretty badass. Oh, it is. It's like a little truck. It's awesome. Let me ask you, though, what if you want to collect the clippings? It doesn't collect the clippings. That's the one thing, but it also doesn't jam, so you can mow it with wet grass and everything. So does it pulverize the grass into like a fine...

Yeah. Okay. The blades are really small on the bottom of it, and they're cheap and easy to replace. They're like little razor blades. But, I mean, it has really been a lifesaver. I mean, I can start it right now when I'm out on the road. It is awesome. Dude, that's pretty cool. Do you just grab a beer and sit out there and watch it sometimes, Mike, do the work? Actually, it's cool because you can watch it from the app. So I'll sit out on the road in the parking lot and watch this thing and relax.

Dude, when you come back home, is half the joy collecting your friends and neighbors' dead pets from your lawn? No, it's got all the sensors and everything like that. But I would enjoy that, too. That's awesome. All right. Thanks, Mike. We appreciate it. Yeah, my wife's aunt and uncle who live in Sweden, and this was years ago before I had ever seen anything like that. They had a little bot.

Yeah. That was out in the yard cutting it and it goes kind of slow and it just kind of chucks around almost like a pool skimmer, you know, like a cleaner. And we were just fascinated by it. Do you know what I have to say though on a Zen level? I know you feel me on this, Casey. I do. The mowing of the lawn

Demolition of the law, this kind of thing, it's just, there's a Zen thing to it. There is, yeah. I did it yesterday. Don't leave me out of this conversation. Oh, you as well? Absolutely, yeah. I share meatballs. No, no, no. Leave me out of this conversation. Screw cutting the grass.

Steve and I talk about it all the time, but yes, Nick definitely mows his lawn. I do have some problem areas where I'm like, I hate this part of the lawn. I have a row of arborvitae where I'm constantly just avoiding branches and stuff. I have a 45-degree hill. I use the iWorks. That's the battery system. It's light enough.

uh you know they can push it up but it is a mofo i could see this guy having a deal with a 45 degree angle all right i'm gonna go to justin he's been on hold for a while justin you are on the air good morning to you good morning i'd like to pull out an oldie but a goodie domo arigato mr roboto i want to lick your hindy that's a good one good one i like it all right justin best money you've spent sir

Teaching myself and learning to build my own desktop computer from scratch. Learning to build... Okay, so are you a gamer? I am a gamer. I've also done, like... I've done work on my computer, like, whatever. I used to stream a little bit, so I've built, like, a streaming PC. But I've bought pre-builts. I've...

built around old computers, but building one from scratch, finding each and every part that you want to find and making sure that it all works correctly is like one of the greatest feelings in the world. And it's such an important skill to learn right now.

Yeah. So I can say I hear you on this because I put together my my studio. I love electronics. I'm an immediate gen one adopter when something is released, which is folly. But I do it anyway. And getting things to talk to each other and getting that that end result is cool. So and and what do you currently have? What what is what is your rig now that you have?

So I built it around the graphics card that I got, which is a GT, no, I'm sorry, an RTX 4070. So that's the graphics card. It's the ray tracing graphics card. It's in NVIDIA. Yeah. Like I wouldn't trust NVIDIA so much because NVIDIA works a little bit better. So you build that. You usually, you pick your motherboard, whatever motherboard you want to use, you want to go for whatever slots and stuff that it has. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, slots. How much did you save by building it yourself?

Usually you save around $200 or $300, but it can get a lot higher because those pre-builds, when you have that company do it for you, you can spend upwards of $2,000, $3,000. But I've built the same ones, if not with better parts, that I choose for about $1,600.

Yeah, no, I hear you, man. There's footage we talked about. It's Henry Cavill, who's a gamer as well, building his own gaming computer. It becomes this thing for people. But you're saying if you can take the time and you are a gamer and you're into this, learn it. And it's the best money you can spend helping yourself learn how to put these things together.

Absolutely, because not only that, when you buy those pre-built ones, you can start with that. That's not a problem. But, like, I can't ever trust an HP computer again, because the programs that they put on there, even if it looks clean and it's a nice clean version of Windows or whatever you have running, there's stuff that they put on there somehow that slows it down to a crawl. And then you wonder, you have a computer for one, two years, and why is it going so slow?

And then before you know it, it's in bed with your girlfriend. Yeah, it's a nightmare. I hear you. Exactly. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Good for you. Hi, Justin. Thanks, man. I would never, ever, ever, ever consider something like that. You know, you wouldn't want to start building electronics in your home? I don't think so. All right. Let me go. Now this, on the other hand, I might. I'm going to go to John. Hey, John. Good morning.

I'm a warlock, duh. Wow. Nice work. I built my own freaking computer. Yeah, that was solid. Yeah, absolutely. John, best money you've ever spent? And don't say a Mercury surfboard. Well, possibly. No, honestly, the best thing I ever spent money on was weed seats. It was just off a whim. I wanted to save some money because I'm tired of buying it.

So it's marijuana. Yeah. All right. I spent $40 on the seeds, and about five months later, I have four plants growing. Where did you get the seeds? There's a site called homegrowncannabis.com. Okay. And you, did you grow these outside? Yeah. Actually, I just wanted to, because I'd never done it before, just my first time. Yeah. So I did it outside, just outside.

Popped them in the garden near my mom's tomatoes, and they've been growing. I just had some of that interesting flower. I'm tripping balls. Why have I never thought of this? We grow herbs in my backyard. We grow tomatoes. Why not, man? Why have I not considered this? What is the law? Not that that's not... In Pennsylvania, I don't know. You can grow up to six plants. No, I'm asking about tomatoes. You can grow up to six plants?

Yeah, in Jersey, I think it's up to six plants. Is it difficult to cultivate? Like once you've grown the plant, is it difficult to then harvest it, smoke it, you know, make it something that you would actually want to consume? Yeah, so there's a whole curing process after it's ready to harvest. Right. You have to cut them off the plant, and then you let them dry for about another eight to nine weeks. Yeah. I've got them in my shed, hanging upside down on some coat hangers. But that's all you have to do? Nothing more complicated than that?

Nope. Not really. Can you order these in Pennsylvania? Oh, man. I'm not too sure about that. Yeah, I'm going to guess no. But yeah, Jersey, man, that makes sense. Yeah. You have a house in Jersey. I have it sent there. Hey, how much, when you're harvesting, how many pounds will one plant yield? So the one plant I had was about half a pound. Really? Yeah.

Wow. You got to see the look on Preston's face. It's just wow. I remember the first time I saw a half pound of wheat. I'm like, it's all the pot in the world. This is unbelievable. So you and you have you have six plants yourself. I have I have four right now. But this is the limit you can have. All right. And one more question. How long does it take for you to grow one to maturity?

So I have a seed called autoflower. It's a bit different. That one takes about three to five months at most to grow, and then another nine weeks to cure. Okay, so you need to plant now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, this is the best time to do it. May until October is the best time to do it. Okay. All right. Wow. And listen, if you indulge in it, it will definitely save you a bunch of money, Nick. We grew a plant by accident outside one of our dorm windows because people kept chucking seeds out the window after smoking a whole bunch. And so, I don't know, at some point in the spring, actually probably right around now, April or May, we looked outside and we're like, holy crap, is it?

That's growing in the wild. It was kind of miraculous. Did you cultivate and partake? No. And that's the thing. We dug it up. We put it in a potted plant. Tried to harvest it. Like, Steve, in 1996 or 1997, it was like discovering gold. Yeah. Totally. But it never really yielded any fruit. Oh.

All right, John, thank you for the idea. I appreciate it, man. You have no problem, guys. Have a great day. Here's a couple of texts that came in that Marissa had highlighted for us. Somebody said, my vasectomy was the best money I ever spent. But you guys can speak to that. Yeah, that's true.

Somebody else said TSA pre-check. Oh, yeah. I got to get on board with that. This is one I have yet to get to, and I'm on the tipping. This is exactly what we're talking about. I know it's going to save me time. Totally. And yet, for some reason, I've been reticent. I'm going to do it. It's like 80 to 100 bucks, and it's...

Five years. And what's the top one or the newest one, the clear or whatever? Yeah, it's clear check, I think is what it's called. And there's global entry. Right, right, right. So I have global entry if you plan on visiting another country. Yeah. Marissa? I just found out because one of my best friends, Liz, who literally travels for a living, did not have TSA. She just got it this week. Chase and American Express and some other credit cards will refund your TSA. Your pre-check? Yep, exactly.

Wow. So for me, I like to smuggle narcotics. Would this benefit me? Yeah. It can't hurt. Somebody texted and said, my sleep number bed is the best money I've ever spent. Goddamn right. I absolutely believe that. They're amazing.

Let's see. Central Air in my very old house. Yeah, that's a great investment. If you can afford that, for sure. And let me tell you something. If your house does not accommodate that, if you have an older house, get the inverters, the units that you see them. There's a system for you, whatever your house is. Somebody texted and said, my Roomba, it's named Dallas because Dallas sucks.

Somebody said a small generator that powers the house as well as one of the best investments they've ever made. And then somebody says $400 for auto start for my car. Getting into a warm car in the cold or cold car in the heat is so worth it. That is true. And so that's exactly the kind of thing that you go, I don't know. Do I really need it? And then when you get it, it's the kind of thing that makes you say as this person, why did I ever wait? Yeah. I use it all the time and it's absolutely worth it. Yeah.

Let me see here. We got time for a couple more quick calls. And who's been on hold for a long time? Let me go to Zane. He's been on hold for like 20 minutes. So I'm going to check in with him. Let's see. Zaba. Zane, are you there? I'm here. Hey, Zane. What's up, man? Not a whole lot. I did want to add in and say 3D printer only cost me 200 bucks. The things you can print with this thing will save you in the long run by far. So.

So, you know, here's the thing, Zane. I've been flirting with... In fact, I got a 3D printer for Dr. Mike because he has, you know, the RC, the airplanes that he does. This is his number one hobby. But you can print all sorts of replacement parts for that. So I got him one and I'm thinking, is this something that I should get as well? And you're saying for exactly that reason, replacement parts, they're all... What is the...

Is it like a never-ending catalog of things you can print on this thing? Oh, yeah. I mean, it depends on the size of the printer you get based on what you can print, unless you print it in parts. But you can print toys for kids, gifts for people, personalized objects. Hell, for my motorcycle, I was going to print something to make it so that I don't have to use my hand as much for the throttle and I can just rest my palm on it.

it. It's $13 online. I printed it. It cost me 27 cents in 40 minutes. I had a piece that I could use just to have a longer trip, more relaxing. So what is the lowest size you would recommend if you wanted something that was useful? What size printer gets it done for most things that most people would need?

So, nine times out of ten, people aren't going to be printing things that are too big unless you're going from, like, cosplay props and all that. Right. So, I have the model called the Bamboo A1 Mini. It's, like, 180 millimeters cubed.

It cost me, like I said, it was like $180 to buy it, and then there was a multicolor attachment so that you can print in different colors without having to change it manually. It, in total, cost me $300 over Black Friday. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. Thanks, Zane. Appreciate it, man. I'm trying to think of what applications I would put something like that to if I had...

stuff regularly, I would totally get that. Yeah, so like for hobbyists, for like people who do like trains, or again, Mike, Dr. Reagan, I'm getting into the RC, you know, plane stuff, and he's helping me. That is exactly what you're looking for. In fact, we had, it was Melissa, right? Her son printed a 3D

from a walk a mile oh yeah yeah yeah and so here's my batman that he printed on his 3d printer his name is timmy and he gave me steve a harry potter wand and i lost it your elder wand my elder wand i have a little golf ball guy with dangly legs it's pretty cool football guy with dangly legs which is to have these fun little choshkies all right one more call and then we gotta wrap it up and i'm not familiar with this but this sounds like a good one mike's been on hold for almost 20 minutes as well hi mike you're on the air bud

So I was driving along and la-di-da-pow!

Mr. Cassie, so my best buddy I ever spent was on the sleep consultant for my three newborn children. For each of them, we had a sleep consultant come in and make a custom plan for us. And with each of these kids, they now sleep through the night every single night. All right, explain. Sleep consultant. I did not know this existed. Can you tell us a little bit about what they do?

Yeah, so this woman comes in and asks you about their kids and what your schedule's like and what you'd like out of it, and she develops a custom plan and teaches you how to get them to fall asleep on their own without a pacifier.

without a lovey, without any of those things that they typically clutch onto so that when you have that newborn baby, you can successfully transition them out of your bedroom into their crib. Does this involve chloroform? Wow. I mean, because it seems miraculous. Okay, Mike, what's a ballpark figure for one kid?

Ballpark figure, you're talking $1,500. Okay. And you're saying in the long run, it pays for itself. It ends up out of the less frustration and everybody being better mentally that it's totally worth it.

Preston, there's some things in life you just can't pay for, and good sleep is one of them. I'm so thankful I can do it again. You make a good point, man. If you're not able to get some sleep, everything suffers. Your job, everything. Yeah, appreciate that, Mike. So look up a sleep consultant. I never heard of that. Neither had I. Very interesting. All right, well, Casey, thanks for bringing up the subject. Yeah, no problem. I got some good ideas of things that people say in the long run.

Absolutely worth the expense. You know what else is worth it? Mr. Stickies. Oh, yeah. Somebody's doing a sticky icky. Yeah.

I got a $50 gift card to give away for Mr. Stickies. We'll take caller number 18 at 610-660-9333. And don't forget, go to Mr. Stickies.

WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre Firefiles.

Brought to you by the Jug Handle Inn. Catch the best food, the best drink specials, and the action of all the games at the Jug Handle Inn in Cinnaminson. Come for the famous Jug Handle wings, but enjoy so much more online at thejughandleinn.com. A flying burrito can be a one-way ticket to a road rage incident. And for proof, you only need look at a recent incident in Harris County, Texas.

Arturo Villarreal was with his two daughters in the parking lot of a Dollar Tree store when he got into a confrontation with another driver. Reportedly, Villarreal tried to drive off when the other driver, also known as the complainant, followed and hurled a burrito at his car. There's so many cases of people throwing burritos at other people. Why the burrito? Do you remember the ban, uh,

The Flying Burritos, right? Yeah, the Flying Burrito Brothers. Bernie Leiden was in that before he joined the Eagles. So maybe this thing's been going on for decades. Maybe this is... Yes. In fact, the scene from Anchorman just was called up. That kind of food waste crossed the line as Villarreal then...

allegedly spun his car around and rammed the other driver, causing major damages. The burrito tosser wasn't taken into custody. Yeah, that just happened! Or charged in the incident. Villarreal was, however, charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon as well. It might be the most throwable food. Yeah, it probably is. You know, like football-shaped almost. Yeah, you could spiral it. Yeah, I'm trying to think of a food that is better for throwing. Like a stromboli? Yeah.

But a burger would come apart. What about a croquet? Like a chicken croquet? Okay, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's self-contained. What if you were to have a gatling gun that shot tater tots? And the chicken croquet, if it were to hit and kind of

You know, that cheese could come out of it and burn you. So, yeah. Good weapon. Pierogies are good, too, guys. Friggin' pierogies. Oh, how about Chinese, you know, dumplings from China? Dumplings. Yes. But if you're talking something with the girth of a burrito. Yeah, that's got more weight to it. Burrito number one. Yeah. All right. Soup.

Burrito Supreme would be pretty good, too. Yes. All right, so 70 racing pigeons. I had chicken stories earlier. Now I got pigeon stories. I'm going to tap out. 70 racing pigeons worth about $10,000 were stolen from a 73-year-old farmer in the city of Hokota, Ibakari, Perpétua. They don't drive. Oh, they don't? No. Here's an obvious. How does the jockey sit on them? Yeah. According to police...

The farmer had been keeping the pigeons, each with a yellow leg band and a wooden coop on his property between New Year's Day and May 8th. And the number of pigeons had been decreasing by a few at a time. Then on May 9th, 30 birds went missing altogether, leaving only six. By May 16th, those remaining six pigeons had also disappeared. The coop has no security camera installed and was installed and was not locked.

While the farmer suspected his pigeons had been stolen, he said that he was too busy with work to report the matter to police. I was looking over there. Since there were no signs of disturbances by animals such as weasels or cats, and none of the pigeons have returned, the local police are investigating the case as a theft.

Three teenage boys were arrested in Seattle Monday after stealing condoms from a mini mart and then starting a wild chase. It began when one teen took condoms without paying and another pointed a shotgun at the clerk. Over rubbers? They ran off, hopped into a stolen car and sped away.

We're going to put these on our boners. Police chased them, but the teens crashed into a police car and kept going. Officers finally stopped them using a special move to block the car. And inside they found the shotgun, stolen condoms, and three young girls who looked like they might be in trouble. The boys, who were 14 to 16 years of age, were taken to a youth center and could face charges like robbery and assault. Pull a shotgun on someone. And police are still looking at what happened to the girls. Yeah.

In Arizona, two moms were arrested on Wednesday after leaving four kids in an unlocked car while they drank at a bar. Now, police found the children, who were aged 6 to 10, alone in the parking lot with a bag of marijuana in the car as well.

Kids told officers that they had been there for hours. The moms, 31-year-old Stevie K. Benally and 34-year-old Renee L. Barlow. Don't tell me I'm not a good parent. Came out of the bar drunk when police called them. They eventually admitted to leaving the kids to go drink after initially claiming that they just went in to use the bathroom. I left them with some pot.

Both were charged with child abuse and drug possession, and the kids were safe and handed over to family members. Police said that the situation could have been dangerous since the car was unlocked. Fiddlesticks. We're alone. Fiddlesticks.

All right, and then we'll do one more story, and then we will wrap it up. We will end with this one. It's a short one, but it's definitely a little interesting. This is in France, a small town in the Brittany region of France. Witnessed an unusual spectacle, to say the least. Thousands of people dressed up as Smurfs and gathered together to set a new world record.

The event in Landernau saw 3,076 participants donning the iconic blue and white costumes, surpassing the previous record of 2,762. Ladies and gentlemen, the largest gathering of people who won't get laid.

Paramount Pictures France organized the gathering as part of the promotional activities for an upcoming Smurf movie set to be released in July. Smurfs are French in nature. Belgian. They're Belgian? I thought they were French. Les Schtroumpfs. Oh, okay. But they're very popular in France. They sure are. There you go. That's what I have in the Bizarre File for you. I won a quiz bowl by getting a question correct. Did you? Yeah. Les Schtroumpfs. Les Schtroumpfs.

All right, as we are taking a break, we can give away our last $50 gift card to Mr. Sticky Wicky Icky. Ooh-wee. Some of that real sticky icky icky.

All right, so Mr. Stickies and Cinnamon Buns and Potsdown will take caller number 12 at 610-660-9333. And you should follow them on Facebook at Mr. Stickies Potsdown for coupons. And you can see the new menu items. Mr. Stickies warning extremely addictive, of course, but they brought by their award-winning Sticky Buns, Sticky Buns and Walnuts, Cinnamon Buns with Vanilla Icing, and Sticky Witch.

Breakfast sandwiches. So we will send you over the gift card for caller number 12. We'll be back in just a moment. Lesson question, Trash Music News. They're on the way. The MMR app can't remember your Wawa order. But it can pair with your Bluetooth or Apple or Android car system, streaming us right into your speakers. Oh, and if you could grab us a meatball shorty and an iced tea, that'd be great. Thanks.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Okay. No, go ahead. We have a pretty big deal, and there's a concert that's happening this weekend. One of our winners from the Rizzo contest we can't get a hold of. He gave us the wrong number, or we wrote it down wrong, so we're not going to say your name, but if you have not heard from Sam to get your tickets, call us right now, and we'll be able to check in and make sure you get your tickets.

Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Gave away a few pair of tickets for that show earlier this morning. Sunday show, by the way. Metallica, 93.3 WNR. It's 1021. It is a Tuesday morning. And temperatures only going up to about 70 degrees net.

Feels a little bit cold. We have warmer days, but it's going to get colder the next two days. Tomorrow and Thursday, rain in our area and high not even getting into the 60s. For the shore on Friday and eggs with peg and the official opening of the Jersey Shore at Kenan's North Wind North Wildwood. We're looking at mid to upper 60s.

And partly cloudy skies, so that's not bad at all. That is fine. My guess is, as predicted earlier, I think you're going to see that high go up. And the rest of the weekend looks good at the shore, too. Nick pulled up the Wildwood forecast, so...

Partly cloudy. I don't see any rain all the way through Monday. And high in the upper 60s, so not bad. It's not ideal beach weather going out and jumping in the ocean, but still it's going to be really, really nice. Are you guys spending a lot of time down there this weekend? Yeah, I'll spend the whole weekend down there for sure. Absolutely. I mean, it's...

This is when the masses come in. This is the weekend where it happens. That transformation is something to behold. We get in there Thursday evening. The street lights, the traffic lights are still on blink. And then everything gets reset and the deluge begins. I do laugh though because I was always an Ocean City guy. So when we would go do these Kenan's things, I didn't necessarily know the best way to get to North Wildwood. And just in retrospect, like...

And Waze didn't exist way back then. I went the longest possible way you could possibly go. All the way down to Cape May or something? I essentially got, you know, I would go to the back roads, get off at 55, go 47, 347, back on the 47. And then I just stayed on 47 the entire time without ever getting on to the Garden State Parkway. Yeah, yeah. And then I would go all the way through Wildwood and then up through North Wildwood. The scenic route. The scenic route. Yeah. Wow.

By the way, the night before we do the broadcast on Friday, Thursday night at Kenan's, it's the Spike Refreshers Happy Thursday that's taking place. Is that the official name of it, Nick? Yes. Okay, so Nick, Marissa, Casey, they will all be there. It's from 7 and 9. I might do a little flyby and say hello. Hello.

And, yeah, we're going to hang out. And while there, they're going to have a chance for you to win the VIP hookup the next morning. So if you're planning on going on Friday, stop by Thursday evening. Got to do a little pregame. You know, get a little, grab a couple cocktails. And maybe you'll win a reserve table that comes with a bucket of Coors Banquet. And you can also win a case for your shore house as well.

So that's Thursday night, 7 to 9, the night before at Kenan's North. Well, there's going to be live music and all kinds of great stuff that's happening there. And, of course, Scott's going to have stuff all weekend long happening. So we will check in with him while we were at the live broadcast. All right. For now, though, we're going to do something else. We have a lesson question. And we're going to give away a $50 Amazon gift card courtesy of Adam Home Services.

The question that we will go with this morning is, what is Steve's blow station made out of? Yeah, it's amazing. 610-660-9333, the number. All right, what is Steve's blow station made out of? 610-660-9333. If you know the answer to that, go ahead and give us a call right now, and we'll see if you can get on and give us that answer and win that prize. We'll do the trash while you're...

Check it out. The trash business is a goldmine. 93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, it's brought to you by...

Paramount Pictures, Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. Every mission has led to this. Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. Only in theaters and IMAX. And that's on May 23rd. What's going on this morning, Steve? Well, Mariska Haggerty telling Vanity Fair that after decades, she recently discovered that legendary bodybuilder Mickey Haggerty is not her biological father. Mariska says...

Her real father is, in fact, Italian singer and comedian Nelson Sardelli, best known for his catchphrase, Holy ravioli, ain't that a kickin' of the meatballs? Hey! After 19 years of playing Agent Gibbs on NCIS, producers are revealing that Mark Harmon was not their original choice for the role.

According to Don Brill, Harmon was the last minute substitution after Clyde the orangutan. Wow. Oh, my God. Not a demanding role. And finally, Real Housewives of New York cast member Sonia Morgan seen being loaded onto an ambulance stretcher outside a Florida restaurant. From what we understand, Morgan was attempting to break the restaurant record by eating six gallons of creme brulee. Hmm.

Let's see if someone knows the answer to this question. What is Steve's blow station made out of? And I believe we have somebody online who wants to answer. It's Ezra. Ezra, good morning. You're on the air. Good morning, you too. Thank you. All right, Ezra, lay it on us. What is Steve's blow station made out of?

Solid gold. Yeah, solid gold. You, sir, are correct. So hang on just a moment and we will get the info and we will give you a $50 Amazon gift card courtesy of Adam Home Services.

Moyer Lumber is your professional source for decks, windows, doors, kitchens, millwork, and more. And you can visit them on the web at A.D. Moyer.com. It ships two stories for you. Allison Chains, Jerry Cantrell.

has announced a new set of U.S. tour dates for his solo album, which is called I Want Blood. And the tour starts August 16th in San Diego. There is a show that's swinging by our general area. By the way, Filter is going to be joining him for all the shows. He will be playing on September 2nd in Allentown at the Archer Music Hall.

And the pre-sale for tickets happened, well, they started 30 minutes ago. And general sales start Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. And this will be the final U.S. leg of Cantrell's tour following earlier 2025 shows that were in North America. But the band itself is on hiatus. Yeah, Sean the drummer issued a statement. I meant to get to that yesterday, but said that, yeah, the tour's over.

Yeah. They had to hang it up. He's like, I would much rather be safe than dead. He's like, I'm going to be fine. But doctor's orders, I'm going to, we're going to adhere to this. Yeah. They had played, I believe, most of their shows for whatever leg of a tour that they were on. So they didn't have to cancel a ridiculous amount. But nonetheless, he's going to get checked out and they'll be back at it when he is available.

And then just one more story, and that was it. This is hard to believe, but we may get new Soundgarden music with Chris Cornell. I know I've mentioned this before, but there's been some movements forward on this. Bassist Ben Shepard hinted at a new album with unreleased songs featuring the late singer, of course, Chris Cornell, who passed away in 2017. In a tribute post on Saturday, marking eight years since Cornell's death, Shepard shared excitement about a track from the album.

from these recordings. The songs, likely seven tracks from 2015 to 2017, were tied up in a lawsuit with Cornell's widow, Vicky, until a settlement in 2023. The band, including Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron as well, hope to release them soon to honor Cornell and their fans.

And Soundgarden, of course, formed in 1984 and will also be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November. Man, I didn't know they got together in 84. Yeah, that kind of blows my mind. Wow.

I thought they were more like, you know, maybe 92. No, not 92 because they were out by then. The late 80s. The late 80s. Yeah. Okay. All right. And that is what I have for a quick one. Is there something else you want me to mention, Nick? I just Pearl Jam wrapped up their tour in Pittsburgh and they did a tribute to Chris Cornell on the day of his, was it his passing or his birthday?

birthday over the weekend anyway in honor of chris and they did a hunger strike oh wow my maybe my all-time favorite song by pearl jam slash uh sound garden slash temple of the dog and um eddie did eddie parts and the audience did the chris cornell part no way it was really cool that's really tell you something you won't stay on your hunger strike if you get a taste of mr sticky's award-winning sticky buns

He's right. Yeah, he's right. Yeah. Anybody, even somebody on a hunger strike wouldn't give in. You say you're hungry? Yeah. And then they launch into the song. He should endorse more products. Especially Sticky Buns. I don't mind sticky hands. Oh, my God. I don't mind sticky hands. It sells itself. It does. Well.

All right, that's it in music news. We have another break to take. Doing that now. Coming back, wrapping up the show. When we return, stay with us to get that letter of the day for the Word of the Week prize and Tattoo's Day. All right, we've got to get a winner for that. We'll be right back.

on Tuesday morning with Preston and Steve Scheltz. As I've said earlier, going up to only about 70 degrees today. That's our high temperature. Part of the cloudy skies looks very pretty out and about. And cooler and wet in the next two days. I'm thinking about it. Did you tell that I ate my lunch right now? Yes, I did notice that. Yeah, yeah. Thinking about skipping out.

What you got, Nick? So, coolest teacher. Today it's Upper Marion High School and I just got an email that apparently today is an in-service day. So, if you're a student, you might be waking up now instead of earlier this morning. Oh, wow.

It doesn't mean the school's over, but we just picked them by random every year. And we picked Upper Marion on a day where the teachers are at work, but the students are not. The students aren't going to school today. Oh, is it because it's election day? That's exactly what it is. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, a bunch of schools are polling places. Actually, my son is volunteering at a polling place today, which I'm proud of.

him for doing that but upper marion is a voting place and so upper marion high school so it's an in-service day for the students but you can still vote and pick your coolest teacher you just might not have gone into school or you didn't if you're a student going into school this morning do we make them the default school for tomorrow as well no i think we just go ahead and just go ahead all right definitely we want to fit in as many schools as we can and it's a short uh time period so

Upper Marion High School in King Crush. All you have to do is text the word TEACHER to 610-660-9333. We'll send you the voting link, and then you can vote. We had Mike McKeown from Collingswood High School on. He was great, and he was very excited to win that award. So all good stuff. All right, shall we do the letter of the day, P.S.? Yes.

or something called the Summer of Loud, which is a festival they're going to have there. Also, I have Dave Matthews Band for Workforce Block and Tom Petty. Yesterday, we did the Who for Pete's birthday. Today, I'm going to do solo Pete Townsend because there's a great catalog of solo stuff as well. That's what we've got today. I'm going to thank our sponsors. The President Steve Show is brought to you today by Acme Markets, fresh foods, local flavors, and also brought to you by

Duncan, yeah, the President's Steve Show runs on Duncan, so thank you, Duncan. Tomorrow on the program, Wednesday, Fox Good Day, we will do that. And our friend Tom Segura is going to be checking in via Zoom. Nice. Always a great conversation with him. That's it. We're done. Rage on. Have a great day, and we'll see you tomorrow, friend. Bye-bye. President Steve on 93.3.

Ding, ding, do-do-be-do, do-da-da-do-ding.
