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. Did everyone remember to fart outside before we came in? Yeah. Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia.

Housekeeping. No, thank you. Sleeping. Housekeeping. You come back in an hour. Housekeeping, you want towels? More towels. Need sleepy. You want me for pillow? Please go. Let me sleep for the Lord.

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. Ah-ha!

All right, we're getting started. Good day. Welcome, friend. We've arrived with a Thursday before us. And let's see where we're going to go in the weather department.

Looks like it's going to be a lot like yesterday was. We're going to have cooler temperatures and some rain expected throughout the day. High of about 55. We start to turn around tomorrow. Still not, I mean, unbelievably warm. It's 65 degrees. It's better than 55. We'll have clouds. And then Saturday, pretty much the same thing with a little bit more sun. By the time we get into Sunday and Monday, we will return to the 70s. And now, Kristen and Steve's News Update.

Today is Thursday, May 22nd. Good morning. Two staff members of Israel's embassy in the United States have been shot and killed in an attack outside a Jewish museum in the capital. A deadly shooting occurred at about 9 p.m. last night near the capital Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. The Israeli foreign minister named the two victims.

as Yaron Lashinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgram. Pamela A. Smith, the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, said authorities had detained a single suspect over the shooting, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, Illinois. Smith said in a news conference prior to the shooting, the suspect was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum. He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun, and opened fire.

fire. Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters her administration would not tolerate violence or hate in their city. Israel's ambassador to the United States said the victims were a beautiful couple and had just been planning to get married. The ambassador said the young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem. The investigation obviously is underway.

Officials in Chester County have issued warnings after a street race crash injured a driver. The crash, which took place in late April, happened after one of the racing cars lost control and slammed into an innocent driver on Route 202 in Chester County. One man is facing charges after the dangerous street race was caught on dash cam footage.

And video shows two cars weaving through traffic at high speeds before one of the vehicles lost control, slamming into an innocent driver in a third car. Detective Sergeant McCloskey of the West Whiteland Police Department said, an innocent person driving down the road in the right lane doing the speed limit.

The person in the car was seriously injured in the crash, according to police, and street racing incidents are happening far too often. If drivers flee the scene, like police say 35-year-old Donald Phillips did in this case, it will face more serious charges. Phillips was the driver of the red Subaru that crashed and faces charges that could bring more than seven years in prison. Wow. This stuff pisses me off so bad. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Because it's always the innocent people who had nothing to do with anything. Yeah. Yeah. Sadly. Yep. Yep.

Phillips' car was found with heavy damage consistent with a crash. Police used plate readers to find Phillips as he drove along local roads and eventually into his building parking garage. And officials have also identified the second driver in the race, but charges have not yet been filed.

And finally, interesting story, Amy Poehler revealed a trailer this week on her podcast, Good Hang, for a TV show called Philly Justice, featuring herself and other members of the cast of Parks and Recreation. Unfortunately, Philly Justice isn't actually a real show. The show's fake. The trailer was created 13 years ago as an inside joke.

Polar, Parks and Rec creator Mike Schur and producer Morgan Sackett as well as actors Adam Scott and Rashida Jones all talked about the project. The idea began after Amy, Adam and Rashida along with Catherine Hunt and Paul Rudd appeared together in a photo wearing their Parks and Rec workplace attire with their arms crossed looking at the camera. Now Jones had joked that it looked like

like they were filming a legal drama, and eventually, cast members took the time to get together and actually film the scenes for Philly Justice. The cast even created detailed character backstories. Rashida Jones explained, I was playing Joey Martinez, who was a first-year associate. She had a really rough background. She doesn't like to talk, but...

But she's the one that gives it to you straight even when you don't ask her opinion. Adam Scott's character was a leather jacket wearing district attorney who was the only person from his former firm to survive 9-11. He said, I just remember being so excited that we were going to get to do it because we had been talking at that point for maybe like six months or something.

But unfortunately, Rudd doesn't appear in the final cut. The cast joked that they replaced him with the actor Dylan McDermott, who actually did make it into the trailer for a show that will probably never actually exist. I wonder what this, you know, the excitement over this or the interest in this, if they could at least do a one off because it's really well done. Well, they did it.

Literally just to entertain themselves. Just to entertain themselves. You've got to put in hours of creative effort to put something like this together. I think that's hilarious. Did you ever watch Angie Tribeca at all with Rashida Jones? Think of...

police squad kind of absurdist stuff. Great. If they did that, and this seems to have a little bit of the feel of that, I'd love to see it. Yeah. Even a one-off. They could have a hit. Yeah. Absolutely. All right. In Sports This Morning. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

What the f*** is that? The Phillies won again. They did it!

They beat the Rockies 9-5 last night in Denver. JT, Real Muto, Trey Turner, and Bryce Harper all hit home runs, and the Phillies won their sixth straight game. The NL East leading Phillies improved to 31-18. They've outscored the Rockies 25-12 through the first three games of this series. The Rockies are off to a historically bad start of 8-41. They lost their fourth game in a row, and they've lost 16 out of their last 18 games.

Real Muto had three hits, including his fifth home run of the season and three RBI. And Harper hit his eighth home run and finished with two hits after a three-hit game on Tuesday. The series wraps up this afternoon. Rangers Suarez will get the start. The first pitch is set for 3-10.

In the NBA, the Indiana Pacers came back from a nine-point deficit with under a minute to play and beat the New York Knicks 138-135 in overtime last night at Madison Square Garden. Game two is tomorrow night in Manhattan. Tip-off will be at 8 o'clock. In the NHL, the Stars scored five goals in the third period. They erased a 3-1 lead by the Edmonton Oilers and they won game one 6-3 last night in Dallas. Game two of the Western Conference Finals.

is tomorrow night in Dallas. And a proposed ban of the tush-push play that the Eagles popularized did not receive enough votes at the spring meeting and NFL competition committee chairman Rich McKay announced that it still takes 24 votes. In this case, those votes were not there. So the rule will stay as it is. The tush-push ain't going anywhere.

To help convince the other teams to keep the play, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie brought in retired Eagles center Jason Kelsey. He walked into the meeting with Lurie about 10 minutes after the session began. Lurie made an impassioned speech in defense of the play, and that speech lasted close to an hour. What? What? Yeah. For the tush push? For the tush push. And those Eagles are still the Super Bowl champions. Yeah!

And that's what I have for you in sports this morning. Thank you very much, Nick. So we got a few things happening on this Thursday morning. A couple of guests are going to be joining us. We have one of our favorites. He's going to be in the studio around 9 o'clock because he's got a performance at

at Park's Casino tonight. Robert Kelly is going to be here. He's great. We love him. Yeah, we can talk to him about anything. So we'll spend a little time with him. And then after that, we're going to talk to actor Kelsey Grammer. He's got a new book called Karen, Brother Remembers. And it's all about, you know, his sister was murdered. It's a terrible story. So he's covering that in his book. We'll talk to him around 10 o'clock. We also have...

We have things to get ready for the live broadcast. It's tomorrow morning. Summer starts, as far as we're concerned. Oh, yes. It's in the books as of tomorrow. We officially open the Jersey Shore with our live broadcast from Kenan's Irish Pub in North Wildwood. You're invited, if you're 21 and older, to come and join us. Doors open around 6.30 a.m., and the party gets started immediately. And it goes on forever.

All weekend long. You know, we should do. We should at least put one camera out this year to get a time lapse of how quickly the room fills up. Oh, yeah. It's astonishing. That's not a bad idea. So we will spend some time getting set for that. And obviously, tomorrow morning, we kick it all off. And we've got stuff to give away and things to do. And we're looking forward to it. Before any of that, we need to name a coolest teacher. Sure. Yeah. So...

We put the word out to the Shipley School to text in and let us know who they thought made a big difference in their world as far as teaching goes. And the kids have let us know. Nice. And we're ready to announce who we have as the coolest teacher. So, at the Shipley School, we crown as the coolest teacher this year, 2025, Ms. Jessie Willing. Can you teach me? Can you teach me?

All I know about Ms. Willing is that she is a science teacher. I don't know if that's a broad science category. Right, like earth science. Or if she specifies in chemistry or biology or whatever it may be. But nonetheless, she's made a difference and they wanted to make sure that she was acknowledged and so forth. So we are going to do that very thing. And Ms. Willing is going to get a $50 gift card from our fine sponsor,

And we are also going to give her the Preston and Steve Coolest Teacher of the Year coffee mug, which she can do with what she wants to. By the way, Duncan, our friends, you can order Duncan's $6 meal deal for a whole vibe. Bacon, egg, and cheese, hash browns, and medium coffee exclusions everywhere.

So here's what we're going to do. Normally, we would draw another name for a school, but we have a long weekend. We have the live broadcast tomorrow. We have tried doing the announcements of the coolest teacher at the live broadcast. Yeah. And it just doesn't have the same impact. No. Because by that time, people are hammered.

They don't give a damn about education at that point, and they're not into it. So it's kind of fizzles. So we want to have impact where we can have some more fun on the radio and really bang it hard. So we're not going to pick a new school right now. No. And we are off on Monday because obviously it is Memorial Day. So we will return on Tuesday.

and draw a new name then, and then on Wednesday we will name another one. Seems to make sense. In the meantime, Ms. Willing gets to be the bell of the ball over the next few days. Yes, she's the longest reigned. She will have the longest reign before we choose another one. But anybody who is deemed coolest is coolest for good. So I love that.

That's what we have happening, dear friend. Let's go ahead and take a break because we got a lot to get to. The Entertainment Report is on the way. We'll have a stupid question. We'll give some things to you. And I know it's a little bit cloudy and dreary, but we'll be in the ray of sunshine if we can for you on the drive-in. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

Is your phone an app hole? You know, full of useless apps taking up space. Well, get rid of them and get the WMMR app. You can listen to us wherever you go, get important alerts and so much more. Because after all, the world needs less app holes.

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 Steve and Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve Show.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. I thank you very much for us. We are going to give away as the stupid question prize. We have these Mission Impossible prize packs have been given away all weekend. So about $50. Kenan's card comes with that too. You could use that. And also Mission Merch, including a hooded sweatshirt and a bunch of stuff comes along with this utility pen and power pack and all that. So here's what you have to answer correctly in order to win that prize.

What was Tom Clancy's first novel that was published in 1984? You can call us at 610-660-9333 to answer that question. What was Tom Clancy's first novel published in 1984? Call if you know the answer. I have some birthdays to mention. We wait for that call to come in. Today is 22nd of May and we have Anna Baryshnikov.

She is the daughter of famous dancer, actor, choreographer, Mikhail Bryzhnev. Ah, is she a dancer as well? She's an actress. I don't know if she dances, Steve. She was in one of your favorites, and Kathy had always mentioned this movie too, Manchester by the Sea. Yes, it's hilarious. Kathy didn't mention that. She was House of Sand and Fog. Me and Steve are the Manchester by the Sea guys. By the way, it is a great movie. It really is. You will be amazed.

spent by the end of it. And it has what I think is probably the two or three minutes of greatest acting I've seen. Michelle Williams, when she has that breakdown, is just amazing. Exactly what you're talking about. So Anna Berejnikov was in that too. She's 33 today. Actor Richard Benjamin.

Love him. Turns 87 years old. Yeah, he goes way back to Westworld, if you remember that. I love that movie. Late 60s. Yeah, early 70s. That's a Michael Crichton. That's Jurassic Park and the same author. And in the movie Love at First Bite, we've mentioned that from time to time. He plays the boyfriend. Are we the only ones who remember that movie? Probably. That was huge with George Hamilton. I do know that movie. Oh, you do? It's terrific. But I always mix that one up with the one that Jim Carrey was in. Once Bitten. Once Bitten. Mm-hmm.

I was thinking the same thing, Case. But no, it was another humorous vampire story. He's 87 today. So Ann Cusack turns a year older now. She is the sister of John Cusack and Joan Cusack. She's the older sister. In a league of their own, she is Shirley Baker. She's the one that can't read. Yeah, yeah. And so once you see her, you notice who she is. You notice her pop up in a bunch of things.

In the boys, Steve, she's Starlight's mom. Yes, yeah. In a few episodes. I don't know how long into the series she goes. I didn't get further than, I think, the third season. She pops up here and there. And, yeah, she's been in a bunch of stuff. She turns 64 years old. She doesn't look classically gay.

Cusackian. No, no. John and Joan have a look about them. You can tell. Yeah, yeah. But no, she's different. But I disagree. She doesn't. And then when you say what her name is, I'm like,

Oh, I see that. Yeah. Yeah, especially in the lips. I envy you. All right. We also have actress Jennifer Goodwin. She was in Mona Lisa Smile and Once Upon a Time. There's a show I loved, and that first season was taking a real-world approach to fairy tales, and it was wonderful, and then they broke their own plot conceit, and then it sucked. Mm-hmm.

I didn't watch it. I don't know. Yeah, it was magical. She's one of the wives in Big Love, too, with Bill Paxton and Gene Triplehorn. She's the youngest of the three. And Chloe Savigny's in that. That's a good show. I don't know, Preston, if you're looking for another treadmill kind of a show, but you might like Big Love. Okay. Let's see. We also have Sean Gunn in Guardians of the Galaxy. He is the guy that ends up

Taking over. His name is Kraglin. And he takes over for Yondu eventually. Yeah, he's James Gunn's brother. Yep. He turns 51 years old today. He shows up in Peacemaker this season. Yes, he does. Yeah, along with Frank Grillo. We also have Brooke Smith, who is the actress who ended up in the well in Silence of the Lambs. Yeah.

She's the one that ends up getting precious. And, yeah, she turns 58 years old today. She's also in Grey's Anatomy. So happy birthday to her at 58. Oh.

Oh, there you go. It's such a delightful theme. It's Morrissey's birthday today. Ah. Yeah, the Smiths. It's my birthday. Full name, Stephen Patrick Morrissey. And Morrissey turns 66 years old. The Simpsons did a deconstruction on him in one episode, man. Holy crap. I mean, they went after, you know, about his mopiness. Yeah. And apparently he said some...

Inflammatory things, but they just crapped all over him from beginning to end. Really? Yeah, it was pretty wild. I've never seen them go after someone quite that hard. He probably pissed them off. He probably pissed them off. From time to time, he says things that people are like, screw you, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, we also have Naomi Campbell. Now, she just hits people. That's what she does. Yeah, assistance. She'll turn around and smack you. She's 55 today. Olympian Apollo.

Apollo Anton Ono. Remember him? Yes, absolutely. Speed skater. That dude was on fire. I think of him every single time I yawn at the gym because I'm a big yawner. That's right. He would always yawn before giant races, and I feel like an Olympian, Preston. He would do it over and over. It was part of his ritual. He is 43 years old today. And then the last birthday today, the great Bernie Taupin turns a year older. I think that if Elton John...

is a knight, then Bernie Taupin should be as well. Don't you think they should knight him? Absolutely. And I bet you they will someday if they have not already. If they have, I didn't know about it, but...

An amazing lyricist. Taupin had a... There was an album. Was it Citizen Jane was the song? Don't know. Remember some of his solo stuff? No. Obviously, they're magical together. Yeah. But he did have a brief solo career. He turns 75 years old. They started working together when he was 17 years old. Really well depicted in Rocketman. Collaborated on more than 30 albums.

but an amazing individual. All right, let's see if we can find an answer to the stupid question this morning. What was Tom Clancy's first, or yeah, what was Tom Clancy's first novel? It was published in 1984. And we are going to check in with Sean, see if we can get that answer. Sean, you are on the air. Good morning. Hello, good morning. All right, Sean, what movie was Tom, I'm sorry, what novel was Tom Clancy's first?

That would be the hunt for right off the hook. Yes, sir. I want you to hang on, bud, because we're going to set you up. You just got yourself a Mission Impossible prize pack, and it includes $50 Keenan's gift card and mission merch, including a hooded sweatshirt with secret pocket trucker cap, a drink koozie. We have wireless audio transmitter, power bank, and a utility tool pen.

And it comes as Paramount Pictures presents Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. Every mission is led to this. And Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning, only in theaters and on IMAX screens May 23rd. You know, I saw an interview with Tom Clancy once, and all his books had this sort of similar military, Navy, Hunt for Red October sort of stuff. A lot of the information that he got, he got through playing.

Video games. Really? Yes, like simulators and things like that. Wow. So, yeah, but I read a few of his books. I love them. See, Mom? Yeah. Paid off. Paid off. Mom, meatloaf sandwich.

Taylor Swift fans think that her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, may have let slip that the famous couple are living together now. On a recent episode of the podcast, Kelsey's choice of words got Swiftie's ears burning. Speaking about his Florida rental, he said, we've got chimneys and we've got furniture. Now, Tay-Tay's fans were quick to pounce on the fact that he used the word we, but...

leading them to think that he and Taylor are living. We, guess what I get to do? Guest Ryan Fitzpatrick asked who handles the home's decor, to which Kelsey replied, it's an executive decision by myself for the betterment of everyone, he says. So, I don't know. I'd recommend they live together if they have any plans on getting married. If you're at that level of wealth, though,

You can live wherever you want, whenever you want. Yeah. And so they could live together some of the time in a house that they rent together in Florida or whatever. And he can live on his own when he wants to get back to KC. And she can live wherever she wants, whenever she wants. Yeah. So they can live together sort of at choice. And then they can also go on living...

Separate lives, Preston. They could if they wanted to. Hey, at a holiday party in Nantucket last December, Linda Holiday reportedly confronted Jordan Hudson, who recently began dating Holiday's ex, Bill Belichick. Yeah. Now, Holiday was not a fan of Hudson being around, saying that it was, quote, inappropriate since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters, who were DJing the event.

Now, Holiday and the former NFL coach were together for 16 years. They had a long-term relationship. They did. According to an incident report that TMZ Sports got its hands on, Holiday and her friend, Elin Hildebrand, displayed, quote, threatening body language and escalating aggression toward Hudson on the dance floor. Steve, they were having some kind of dance battle. Yeah. Hudson apparently... It's a dance off. They had a dance.

battle. Yeah. You know, those dance fights. Oh my God, man. I used to dance brawl all the time. Absolutely. Did you say that the friend was Elin Hildebrand? Yeah. That's that author that Kathy loves. She's from Collegeville. Oh. And she's written like a bunch of romance novels, like beach novels kind of stuff. Yeah. And there was a movie that played off of that. Dance battle. No. Dance battle. The movie. The movie.

No, it was a movie that we both watched. The Perfect Couple? Yeah, Perfect Couple. That was it. Okay, so that was her. That adds another element to the dance battle if you have a second. Now listen, it doesn't say they were having a dance battle. I made that up. They were threatening body language on the dance floor.

So Hudson apparently insisted she was not looking to cause any problems, but just wanted to go out and have fun. By the way, speaking of Dance Battle, I know it's not a great movie, but the American Pie movie, American Wedding, and Stifler has a dance battle. They're at a gay club. That scene is a scream. I thought that was really well done. The funny thing is...

I actually almost got paralyzed in a dance battle once. Paralyzed? Paralyzed. Neck injury? Neck injury. It was my senior year. It was our senior dance. It was just a senior class.

And there was a guy named Scott who we, there was a circle where we all, and Scott and I had a dance off. Now, Scott's big move is that he would get on, basically, his big move was that he would ride an invisible bike. And it was a good move. Scott Sargent, hats off to you because he pulled off the invisible bike. I was like, I need to do a backflip.

So I would do this backflip. My buddy John Muffo, I would put my foot in his hand and he would throw me up. Do one of those. John and I had done this a million times. Okay. So we needed to pull this thing off in the biggest fashion. So I put my foot in his hands and he goes to flip me, but my foot slipped out of his hands. And I went and did this backflip. Crap you not, I went straight up and straight like I basically did a...

A back dive? A back dive. Yeah. Right into the floor. Oh, my God. No hands. Good God, old Christopher Reeve. I don't think I've ever heard this story before. I feel like I've told you. I feel like I've talked about this on the air because there are moments in my life. I'm 50, almost 50 now. So this was 32 years ago.

that I actually feel like I died that day, and every day that I've been living since then has just been the afterlife. I want you to go back to Earth. Your time isn't done. Because there's no... There's not a chance that... How did I not get paralyzed? How did I not die that day? Let's go back to the moment. You land on your head. I land on my head. By the way, in front of everybody. In front of 500 students. I look up. I see a look of just...

Everybody was like, are you okay? Everybody was just so scared at this point. And then I went face to face with my friend Vinny and he's looking at me and I go, dude, I am so hurt right now. I'm in so much pain. He's laughing and we're laughing.

I was just trying to pretend like I wasn't hurt, but I was hurt so bad. Did you turn around and see yourself sprawled on the floor? No. By Patrick Swayze? I immediately went to the bathroom. I just said to Vinny, I go, dude, I'm like, I'm in so much pain right now. And we were laughing. Dance-off continues. And then I went off into the bathroom. And then...

I skipped every after party. There was after parties. I skipped all of it. Dude, you probably had a concussion. Oh, you're damn straight I had a concussion. And it was only a few years ago, but back then, I guess they still didn't. Like, they should have stopped the dance. Here, have a cigarette. They should have gotten you out of it. Yeah, right. Have a cigarette. Here, have a smoke. This will calm you down. What do they call that when you go off the diving board and you don't put your hands out?

A sailor dive? What's that? I just call it a sailor dive. Sailor dive. I basically did a backwards sailor dive into a concrete floor. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Dance battles are real, bro. What's crazy is the same thing happened at this party. And I'm glad you shared that story. It was Jordan Hudson. She was trying to do a backflip and she landed on her head. Figured it was the best time to leave. So after tension seemed to grow, Hudson apparently agreed to leave peacefully. Huh.

Holiday later said, according to staff members of the event, if this didn't involve my girls, I don't think this would have bothered me as much. But because it did, the mama bear in me came out. Honestly, Belichick could have left her at home, given her the remote. Yeah. She would have been okay. Turned on Sprout. She's old enough. It would have been fine. She could have, you know, minded herself for the first time all alone. We'll see. So, Jimmy Kimmel.

Is a grandfather. Isn't that wild? Yeah. I actually have two grandfather stories, and the second one is even more open.

Oh, my God. During Tuesday night's monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he explained why he had missed a taping of his show for only the second time ever. He said, we are back to work after an extra day off. He said, we were supposed to have a show last night, but we didn't because my daughter had a baby last night. Katie and her husband, Will, had a baby girl right at the time that we shoot our show last night. So I decided to be there instead of here.

And he said, mom and baby are fine. He revealed the baby's name. It is Patty. He said, like the melt. No, he didn't say that. It was in parentheses. Like the melt, but with an I and not a Y. With Joan as his middle name.

As a middle name. And it's the first grandchild for Jimmy. So good for him. So he had kids from his first marriage, right? Or a kid from his first marriage? Wait, how old is he? He's in his 50s, right? I would imagine. We've been interviewing him forever. Yeah.

Then we have this story. So Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews on Boy Meets World, he's going to be a grandfather. Eric! Dude, how can somebody on Boy Meets World be a grandparent?

We had him on, right? We had him in. Yeah, we had him in studio. Will Friedle? Yeah. Did we? Yeah, because they were doing the podcast here. Okay. He voiced the Batman Beyond. He was, you know, that guy. So he broke the news on the Pod Meets World podcast this week. He actually didn't. It was co-host Danielle Fischel did. And she said, Will's about to be a grandfather. And...

And it caused the guest on the show, Lynn McCracken, former director of Boy Meets World, to say, what? And then Freddie filled in the blanks. He said, yeah, I'm about to be a grandfather. My stepdaughter is about to have my first grandchild. So I'm very happy. I'm about to be a poppy. So he is 48 years old. So he's not, you know, up there, so to speak, but 48 and a grandfather. Yeah, you're dancing on the line. Pretty impressive. Yeah. So we have a picture in the studio of Steve McClure.

showing Will the Batman statues. We became friends that day. So he's 48, his stepdaughter Lexi is 35. What? Wow. How? Okay. What's going on here? Stepdaughter. He married somebody who was older, I guess, and she had a child from a previous relationship and...

therein lies the age difference. There you go. All right. Uh, people magazine is giving us a peek at a new cross generational film, which seems to be a trend. It appears Brosnan and Helena Bonham Carter play parents to two young people who are destined to be together. If fate will only let them get together, uh, in the upcoming film called four letters of love. Oh, this ends in a huge dance battle. Uh, the movie also stars Gabriel Byrne, uh,

Fian O'Shea and Ann Skelly and is based on the best-selling 1997 novel by Neal Williams. It's called Four Letters of Love and it will be in theaters on July 25th. I wonder if we're getting back into the romance. For a long time, you had the Nicholas Sparks stuff. It was huge in the movies. It's been a little while. Yeah. The upcoming Street Fighter movie, based on the popular video game, is looking to cast some literally big names for its movie. Jason Momoa. Wow.

And WWE's own Roman Reigns are said to be in talks to join the movie. Okay, but who would Jason Momoa play? I'm thinking of the characters. I'm only thinking of like a Street Fighter 2 character.

I don't know characters beyond that, but who would Momoa? Probably play Norm. No, that's a good question, Case. Maybe Bison? Could be him, but Bison, well, I mean, they could shave off his beard and everything. But I was thinking maybe the, I guess he wouldn't be Delcime. He was the yoga master. What about Balrog? No, Balrog's black. Sofia? Yeah.

Blanca, maybe? We'd have to see the characters. I don't really know. Also, Andrew Koji and Noah Centeno are also said to be in talks to join the movie. Reps for the studio behind the film, Legendary, have not commented on the casting rumors at this time.

The plot details for Street Fighter are currently under wraps. The original Street Fighter video game came out back in the 1980s and had a ton of sequels since, including 2023's Street Fighter VI. Of course, the Street Fighter movie did come out in 1994. It starred Jean-Claude Van Damme. Kylie Minogue was in it as well. Ryle Julia. Ryle Julia played M. Bison in that one. Wait, who's Kylie Minogue? She played Cammy.

who was in Street Fighter 2. That's one my youngest, Caleb, likes to play every time we play. Okay, that wasn't in the Street Fighter 2 that I knew. There was only one female, and that was Chun-Li. Okay. Yeah, so Cammy wears a beret. She's got a long ponytail. She oils her thighs. She's a real badass. So there was a reboot in 2009 as well, so we'll see who ends up playing that. Okay.

We mentioned the boys earlier. That is gearing up for the explosive final season. And Colby Minifee, who plays the ever-anxious Ashley Barrett, since season one says the series finale hit her hard. She said, I just read the finale last night. It's an extremely satisfying finale, and I was getting emotional reading it. You know, so I've enjoyed the show a lot. Love the show. Last season...

I got the feeling, I think you agreed, Case, that they were going too much for the shock. Every single episode, they're like, what are we going to do? Oh, this is going to blow them away. It's like, yeah, you still have to service a plot. I would love to see her character in particular, Preston, get powers. Okay. So she's constantly put upon. It says, with Ashley now juiced up on compound B. Yes, yeah.

So that means she has powers. Yeah, we hope. Yeah. Fans are hoping that she finally stands up to Homeland or in season five. Whether she survives the showdown or not, Minifree's emotional reaction is a good sign that the boys plans to go out with a bang with hopefully a little dignity intact for the executive turn CEO.

I can't believe this show dates back to 2019. I know. It's been around for that long. I mean, I don't know. Just like when I think of 2019, I think pre-pandemic. I'm like, the boys was around before then? Yeah. Turns out it was. Martin Scorsese is stepping in front of the camera for once with his Apple TV Plus documentary, Mr. Scorsese. The five-part docu-series is being helmed by Rebecca Miller, who's been given exclusive, unrestricted access to the legendary filmmaker's private archives.

The series dives deep into his life and career, featuring deep conversations with Scorsese himself and interviews with longtime collaborators like Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, and many more. It sounds good to me. I mean, he's a student of film, and I love to hear him talk about stuff like this. So, yeah, I'm on board. Miller says, I am so grateful to have been given this artistic freedom and access to create a cinematic portrait of one of our greatest living artists.

Originally planned as a single film, the project expanded over five years into something much bigger. And of course, his epic filmography includes films like The Wolf of Wall Street, Killers of the Flower Moon, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull. It goes on and on and on. Street Fighter. The first one. Steve, I never saw Killers of the Flower Moon. Did you? I did. And what did you think? It is good. It is a bit of a slog. Okay. It's one of those long... Yeah, yeah. All right.

Not my favorite. I attacked Adelaide after a little while, too. Did you guys see it in the theaters? No, at home. Because three and a half hours in the movie theaters, I can't do that anymore. Unless it's a Marvel movie and then I can do it all day. I suppose. So, we were talking about this yesterday. The live-action Lilo and Stitch movie is looking like it's going to have a pretty massive debut this weekend. It's currently projected to open to over $150 million in North America alone. Likely giving it the title

top spot of the box office this weekend, and it's expected to be the number one movie in a lot of other countries as well. Now, this movie is apparently tracking so well that Disney is already thinking about sequels. The Disney Entertainment co-chairman, Alan Bergman, said it feels like it's going to work very well.

and that probably isn't the biggest surprise. Lilo and Stitch are one of the entertainment behemoths. Top ten best-selling franchises, by the way. I'm sorry, Case. They did have an animated sequel, right? Yes, I guess. It might have been direct-to-DVD or whatever. Was there a show involved with it as well? I think there might have been. I'm just blown away. I had no idea that this had such a...

rabid fan base and that like women love Stitch. The gentleman Stitch. Well, the gentleman liked that Stitch.

Uh, but no, no. Like that's the new character present. Gentlemen. Forgive me for saying this, but you look like a vagina. But like, why do women love Stitch so much? Like I've seen like Stitch tattoos. That I don't know. A lot of them. I'll tell you this. For me, it was kind of a sleeper. I, when I, I, I really loved it when I saw it, you know, when it, on its initial release. 2003, something like that. Okay. That's probably why. Like adorable. Yeah.

It was like adorable. So sales of Stitch-related products grew to $2.6 billion last year. It's like a billion. Is it? Yeah, it's $2.6 billion. Well, you know, keeping in mind what you're saying about the tattoos, we should offer Stitch Bitch tattoos, right? Yeah, okay. Stitch Bitch. Wouldn't that be great? Yeah.

All right, one last thing, and then we will move on to some clips. There is a new horror film on the horizon, and its chilling premise is bound to grab the attention. It's called Whistle.

And IFC Films and Shudder have officially acquired the U.S. rights to this upcoming supernatural teen horror from the nun director, Corin Hardy. The movie will have brought the attic release, but the official release date has not been announced yet. So this touches on something we've played around with before. Hardy directs this film about a cursed object with deadly consequences. It centers around a group of unsuspecting high school students who come across a cursed artifact, an ancient artifact.

Aztec death whistle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which we used to have one here.

they soon realize that blowing the whistle releases a terrifying sound and triggers a supernatural force that begins hunting the person who used it. And this force will relentlessly pursue its victims until it claims their lives. What are you playing? Whistle While You Work? Sorry. No. I don't want to play it anymore. Play it again. Why? Whistle While You Twerk. Oh, Whistle While You Twerk. This is a different version. Yeah, yeah. This didn't appear in the original Snow White. So, yeah, this is an ultra high concept movie. It's like the...

Smile. Yeah, a whole spade of these. Or he follows. I recommend Monkey, The Monkey. Oh, yeah? Yeah, from the Stephen King. I guess it was a short story, but the movie is really solid.

So the force will relentlessly pursue the victims until it claims their lives and then becomes a race against time to uncover the Whistle's dark origins and find a way to stop the deadly curse before it destroys them all. You'll probably recognize some of the cast. It stars Sophie Nelisse, known for her role as Teen Shauna in the Showtime horror series Yellow Jackets. And her character is just mad.

messed up. Joining her is Daphne Keene, who's from His Dark Materials, Skye Yang from the Rebel Moon series, Percy Hines-White,

from Wednesday and Nick Frost as well. Daphne King is from Logan as well. Oh, is that the young guy? I'm sorry, this is what? Deadpool and Wolverine. The young gal. X-26 or something like that. So far, these are the only details available about Whistle. Alright, let's play some clips now.

Colby Midefe, we were just talking about her, is best known for the role of Ashley in The Boys. But now she's dipping her toe into the horror genre. And in this clip, she talks about the intense climax scene in The Surrender. I think it was the hardest one that we shot. We were struggling with the blocking of it. We were struggling with certain lines in it. We were struggling with how to figure out how to get the boiling point to the absolute most boil-y. How scary!

The Surrender releases in theaters this weekend. Here's our next clip. Sometimes it's hard for the creators of shows to find the right fit for a character. In this clip, Paul W. Downs tells Jean Smart why she was a perfect match for the lead in Hacks. The reason that you were our first choices were, Jean, we wanted the show to be a tone we hadn't really seen. We wanted to feel grounded. But it's about a comedian who tells jokes. So we needed someone who could land jokes and be really funny.

but also who could do dramatic, emotional work really beautifully as well. Damn! New episode of Hacks will air today, and you can find that on Max. So you know who that is in the show? If you watch the show, that is the guy who is her agent. I don't watch the show. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's who was talking in that clip? He's the creator of the show. Okay, and he's an accent as well. Yeah. And his dynamic with his partner this season, Steve, that actress, I forget her name, but man, she is so freaking funny, and he's a really good straight foil to her. To her.

to her comedy. All right. That's what I got in the entertainment report this morning. Uh, by the way, just a quick mention, uh, no school for coolest teacher today. We are going to resume that on Tuesday. Tomorrow's too chaotic to announce any winners while we were broadcasting at Kenan's for the opening of the Jersey shore and all of that. Um,

But we did announce that from the Shipley School, Ms. Jessie Willing was our coolest teacher that the kids voted for. She's a science teacher. If you know Ms. Willing, let her know that she won and tell her to give us a call. Yeah. Call us 610-660-9333. I'd like to find out a little bit about her and officially hand over the prize to her.

Besides that, we will have our friend Robert Kelly stopping by this morning. Wonderful comedian, good friend. He's going to be at Parks Casino tonight, so we'll chat with him. And Kelsey Grammer is also going to be joining us later on this morning. We'll take a quick break, come back in a moment, hang out for a bit, please. Thank you so much for coming. Tune in Thursday at 1 for our presentation of Pierre Presents. Let us welcome Mammoth. No!

Don't miss this amazing, intimate performance from the Foundry, including some Q&A with Wolfgang Van Halen, as only Pierre can do it. If you miss out on tickets for this exclusive MMR event, don't miss hearing it this Thursday at 1 on MMR. Powered by A&T Subaru, where great deals are closer than you think. Shop antsubaru.net.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Alright, thanks, Preston. So, I failed to mention this earlier this morning when we were teeing up the day. You know, I told you we're going to have Robert Kelly in the studio in the 9 o'clock hour, and Kelsey Grammer's going to be joining in at 10 o'clock. But since tomorrow is what it is,

We should do our Friday things today and get those out of the way so we can just focus on all things Kenans and Shore. Yeah. So I think I should clean out the junk drawer.

And we'll get to the connoisseur later this morning, too. So we got a bunch of stuff to give away. All right. What do I have in my junk drawer? Oh, it's overflowing. Oh, here's something. It's a can of sardines. And in case you did not know this, there is a glimmery new icon swimming into your summer. And that would be the sardines. Sardines apparel and products featuring the petite fish are all.

all over the internet right now. Sardines, known for their long, slender bodies and bulging eyes, are the online world's cutesy representation of the Mediterranean lifestyle right now. Sardines. Are you a sardine dude? Uh,

No. As far as eating them goes? My father? Pop them. Marissa, do you have any sardine apparel or anything like that? I'm more oyster, but I do appreciate a sardine on a matching set. I will not eat them. I nudge them to the side when they're on a Caesar salad. But I wear one. This is what's happening. Search interest in the finned fashions has reached record high in May of this year, according to Google Trends.

with beaded sardine bag increasing 300% since 2004 and the sardine dress doubling over the past month or so. Wait a second. I might have seen some of this stuff. Where did I see a whole bunch of sardine stuff? So I recently saw sardine pens at, I think it was, is it World Market? Is that the name of these stores? There's a...

It's got all kinds of... It's got like Pier 1 imports. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they have all kinds of imports as well in the world of food. And I was over in the food section and I actually saw what I thought was a can of sardines, but it's actually pens that are shaped like fish. Oh.

And so that's where I saw something like that, Steve. I remember it was at a rack at the front of a pet store, a pet supply store, and there were a whole bunch of sardine chewable toys. There you go. So the salty snack famously sold in bright decorative tins is appearing in our hair on our beds across our chests and dangling from our ears right now.

The trend is similar to previous summertime obsessions with tomatoes and strawberries. I would like to see somebody, because sardines of themselves, their size...

lends it to earrings. So use real sardines. Real sardines? Just hook them on earrings. All right. Sardines and smelts. Totally different fish, right? I believe so. So smelts are white in color, Casey, and they're even smaller than sardines, I think. And I also get anchovies mixed in there, too. Oh, okay.

But anchovies are usually fillets. They're not like the sardine, which is the whole fish. I thought an anchovy was a sardine. You'd have to look it up in case it may be that. I don't know. Nick, if you wouldn't mind doing a little research on that, I would be curious on that. Smelt, by the way, are freshwater and sardine are saltwater. I'll answer that question. And anchovies and sardines are both oily small fish,

but they're different fish. Sardines are generally larger, flakier, and have a milder flavor. They're canned and brined, blah, blah, blah. Anchovies are smaller, salt cured, and have a more pungent flavor. So anchovies are their own species? Yeah, they're both, they're two different fish. Anchovy versus sardine. Anchovies are used in a fair amount of recipes. So yesterday, we have a friend who's going to be down with us this weekend who's vegan, and we need to prepare some meals vegan, so

Rochelle found a recipe that included Worcestershire sauce, but it needs to be vegan Worcestershire because Worcestershire is made with anchovies. And so that's considered an animal product. That's tough, man. Can you just say it's vegan? Anchovies pop up in things like that that you don't know that they're part of the ingredients. Like Marissa was mentioning a Caesar salad, like a traditional Caesar salad is made with anchovies as a base. Yeah.

to give it that salty flavor. Pizza toppings, people use anchovies. Sure, yeah. But there are also ingredient recipes in recipes as well. So it says in this article, we can also swim a little bit

deeper and see that sardines may say something about society right now at a time when prices of fashion and home goods are skyrocketing for American consumers. The desire to embrace a tiny fish that packs a punch indicates a desire to live simply and pleasurably. This is according to Italian. His name is Guido Bonsaver, professor of Italian cultural history at the University of Oxford in England.

Today we're going to talk about the sardine. He said sardines are a very humble fish. In fact, I would go as far as to say bashful. The healthy, cheap snacks speak less to an ethos of luxury and more so to one of unparalleled.

presuming just a few small fish can be a satisfying meal, while the colorful tin gives unadorned artistic sophistication, he said. In the whole world of fish, I would never consider the sardine to be like a braggart, you know? It's just kind of a quiet, humble fish. Finding happiness as everyday people within our economic and political context is something that we're all striving for right now, Bonsaver said. What would you say is the most braggy fish, then? The one that's the most boastful? Yeah. The one that really just thinks...

It's S doesn't stink. Probably like a Chilean sea bass. Chilean sea bass. Yeah, it's up there. You know the way they swag. Yeah. When they're on the menu, you're like, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Yeah. If you are the fisher that's got a lot of riz.

He said it's a Chilean sea bass. Yeah, probably going there. You like that? So, yes, if you do see the fish on fashion, then it's a hot item right now. All right. And as Marissa said, oysters. I saw, okay. All right. Where were we? We were at a going away party the other day, and a guy was wearing, and I guess it was maybe a minor league baseball team. It was a baseball mitt. So it was a T-shirt with a print of a baseball mitt on it.

And in the middle of it, it had an oyster with a pearl. Steve, it looked like a vagina. Absolutely. And the pearl looked like you know what. Yeah, Mr. Man in the Boat. And I was like, I had to do a double take. Was that the intent? No, I didn't.

No, I don't think so. There it is. Oh, my God. The Chesapeake Oyster Catchers minor league baseball team. That's a vagina. Doesn't that look like it? Yeah. A little bit. They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing. And that guy knew what he was wearing. Unless for some reason, is he from the Chesapeake area? Like...

And below it says flick the pearl. I don't know, Marissa. So this came out, it dropped and the internet blew up because everyone was like, uh, this looks like what it looks like. So they've released a couple of designs. They pulled this one, but they are now going to give proceeds from that game and this merch to a female oriented charity.

All right. Because of this. So they turned it around. But literally, the caption came out and was like, make sure you run your designed by girls and boys whenever you design things. So the guy that I saw wearing it then, he knew. He probably had to. That's why he was wearing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, interesting. I thought maybe I wasn't going to embarrass the guy and go over and go, dude, your shirt looks like it's got a vag on the front of it. Give him a shirt for the Bakersfield buttholes. He probably did it on purpose.

Yeah, I'm going to imagine. Because it's a thing. So, all right. Anyhow, the oysters and sardines are all the rage right now. All right, let me go back into the junkyard. All right.

Here's one for you. It's an analysis from Google search. The data was from this year and it has revealed the most misspelled words for America and also by state. The most misspelled words in America and by state. Yeah, so the national spelling bee begins at the end of this month. Can I guess for this area? Yeah, sure. For our state, for Pennsylvania? Actually, it's probably wrong, but I would say restaurant? Nope. Nope.

But restaurant is a word that's included in some of these. But no, it is not restaurant. My kryptonite is guarantee. Yeah. Is it guarantee? Is it guaranty? My father would always say guarantee. All right. Yeah. G-A-U? Maybe that's a good way to remember it. Is it G-A-U? Nick, you know how to spell things. G-U-A, yeah. G-U-A? No, it's guarantee. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Just think of the Bangor. America's most misspelled word is definitely. Definitely. Yeah. Definitely. I messed that one up too because, Casey, I always think definately. It's not that. It's not D-E-F-I-N-E. It's D-E-F-I-N-I.

Yep. T-E-L-Y. People also spell it defiantly all the time. D-E-F-I-A-N-T? Yeah, instead of definitely, they'll spell out defiantly thinking that they're writing definitely. All right. Number two is separate or separate. Yes. Are they spelled the same? Yes, but people misspell it similar to what you were just saying with definitely pressing. They'll put the E-S-E-P-E. Right. It is S-E-P-A-R-A-T-E. Then third is...

And this is nationally necessary. Okay. I rock that. Yep. I'm pretty good with that one, which is N-A-C-E-S-S-A-R-Y. You know what we just really need to do is have Little League cheerleaders spell these out for us, and then we'll be able to do it. Get this demonic hammer, yeah. Number four is believe. B-L-I-E. Do you believe?

Here's one that people misspell. The fifth most misspelled word nationwide is through. Yeah, through. T-H-R-O-U-G-H. Do they understand the various, well, it might be a misunderstanding of through. T-H-R-E-W. You know? Or thorough. They'll toss in a S. No, thorough. T-H-R-O-U-G-H. So then you have gorgeous. I kind of mess that one up sometimes, too.

G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. Gorge Owls. You are so Gorge Owls. Seven is neighbor.

Number eight is business. Wow. Business. Yeah. Business. Mankind was my business. Number nine is favorite. And number 10, Steve, is restaurant. Yep. Yep. Now, by state, most misspelled words, and I plucked out our tri-state area. Drum roll, please. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. In Delaware, the most misspelled word, according to the Google search data of 2025, is business.

Beautiful. We have a winner. New Jersey. Congratulations. What's the word? Congratulations. The way to remember that is, and I used to mess this up too,

And it was usually if someone was graduating and I would send congratulations, I would think there was a D in there as in graduate. It's not. So think of congrats with a T. I think of conga rats. Conga rats. Which are large. But C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S. And then for Pennsylvania...

I'm getting nervous. Our most misspelled word is scissors. Wow. Scissors? Yes. Yes.

S-C-I-S-S-O-R-S. Accepting restaurant. Scissors. A word that I consistently misspell or forget how to spell because you just don't write it down that often is vacuum. Okay. Which is two U's. Yeah. Are there two C's in there? I think there's two C's and two U's. One C, two U's. B-A-C-U-U-M-A? Nope. Silent P. B-A-C-U-U-M-A. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum.

Where's the vacuum? Oh, man. But, yeah, so there are some that are, like, I wouldn't expect. Like, Virginia has trouble with the word people. What? Yeah, right? That's a pretty easy word. Yeah, I think so. And North Carolina, secret. What? Yeah. These are all down south, too, I think. But, like, why? Why are they misspelling that? I don't know. I don't know. Like...

Like, I can understand like... It's a secret. No, no, no. But like the word like through or whatever, sometimes you might just forget the R and forget the word thou. And thou looks like, you know, so like, oh, I'll just leave that. And then spell check doesn't underline it for you. You know what? That was a word. I'm going to step in and I'm going to give him a new word. Pendulum. Okay. Well, here's one like Maine. Pneumonia. You can understand that. You can understand that. Yeah. Right? But... I wonder how often phone is misspelled. Texas has trouble with protect. Protect.

That's really weird. You know what I have a hard time with? And it's part of our lexicon now. It's connoisseur. I can't stand typing that stupid word. Dude, I am the connoisseur and I don't know how to spell it. It's on my coffee mug. I see it here regularly and I still don't know how the hell to spell it. It's a mother effort. Also, Google. Go F yourself. I don't know how to spell it. I know it when I see it. I know how to say it. F-C-H-U-Y. Right? Am I right? All right.

Yes. Okay. You forgot the L. First L. School kill. School kill. Yeah. Yeah.

I do know how to spell Balakinwood. I did learn that. Connoisseur, in my head, when I spell it out, I spell it Con-wa-saur. So the O-I in the middle of it is what throws me off occasionally. And then S-S-U-E-R. S-S-E-U-R. I'm sorry, yeah. So it's a funky, funky S word. All right, so a lot of people have trouble with this, and those are the most misspelled words. All right, let me dive back in. Oh, that's just falling all over the floor.

All right, I found something. This is kind of a lengthy story, but I'm going to shorten it up because it has a reference that I really, really love. So the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as DARPA, says that the Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay, which is POWER, if you take the letters down, what do they call that, acronym? Yes. POWER.

Wow, it's at the ready. So the power team program managed to, and follow along with me because I'm going to have a little wrap up at the end here, managed to transmit more than 800 watts of power from a laser emitter to a receiver located 5.3 miles away during a 30 second transmission. Now to celebrate the achievement, power used some of that transmission

transferred energy to make popcorn. And the reason they did that is because of the movie Real Genius. That's amazing! So they did it as an homage to Real Genius. How great is that? So at the end of the movie Real Genius, they take a weapon that they had learned would be these old geniuses, as you would imagine, at a school, a tech school, and they had learned that the technology they were working on was going to be used for a weapon system.

So they reprogram the jet that's going to deliver this ray to the guy who's at the school who's responsible for it. And they fill his house with popcorn kernels and then they pop it. Yep. And they made a giant jiffy pop.

So this is what they did as a nod to that. The actual geniuses who grew up watching that movie have now turned that into a bit of a reality. I love that. Yeah. So you're talking about the transfer of energy over five miles. Yeah. So Tesla's original dream, which he was...

of pulling off was to work in a cordless environment where you could literally go out to a field and use a toaster. You would have basically electricity transmitting stations that would allow you to do that. Correct. And so this is kind of that...

Sort of realize. I know what you're talking about. They show that in the movie The Prestige. Yes, I love that movie. Which is a pretty wild movie. Christopher Nolan movie, right? So for reference, 800 watts isn't a ton of electricity, but it's enough to run a small fridge, lights, and an RV setup. And it's a practical start, assuming that the tech scales as DARPA intends.

It's not just about popcorn and personal gadgets. Starba has its eyes on the battlefield as well, so they want to turn this into, like real genius. Tactical popcorn. A weapon. No, I don't know if it would be tactical popcorn. Well, you could fill up a tank with kernels and then pop it and blow it a bit. Oh, you could have kernel kernel. Kernel kernel. That's right. Popcorn division. Sit down, son.

Oh, he's the popcorn divisions in town. Colonel Colonel. Yeah. So I'll have that done in a jiffy. The shot. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. General Redenbacher in charge.

By the way, so they're a long way away from making this happen. It says this is similar to the current state of fusion power. Scientists have been able to claim net positive output from a fuel pellet if they ignored the massive power bill for lighting the laser in the first place. So there's a lot of things that have to happen. But they proved that it can be done. Right. But it's a long way off from being practical.

Yeah, we're getting there. And like with the extending of Bluetooth coverage, you know, like I was talking to some of my friends over at Xfinity, the delivery of, you know, we basically you just have Bluetooth, super Bluetooth transmitters that will transmit your...

basically, all of your TV wirelessly so that you won't have to run physical cable. Wow. Okay. We'll see when we have that. I'm sure their heads are exploding because I mis-explained that, but that's essentially what they're looking to do. All right. We got something else here I can find in the junk drawer.

All right, here's one that it's a new survey that reveals accents and how they influence trust and which ones Americans trust and like the most. I'm assuming a Soviet Russian accent is the most trustworthy. That is the most trustworthy. Where are your sardines? That is not it. Actually, the British accent is the most trustworthy. Yeah, when I hear a British accent, I think that the person's smart.

I know. For whatever reason. Just a default to it. And Steve, like when you kind of go into Ian McKellen, you know, like that air of an English accent. I'm like, oh yeah, that guy's learned it. Do you want me to show you a demonstration here? Okay, right? Here we go.

I had three testicles. Now? I have three testicles. I like the second one better. It has more of an import. More trust to it. It seems more thoughtful. But it does depend, Nick, on the dialect. Right, yeah. Cockney, less smart. Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Americans don't just find the British accent the most trustworthy. They think it's the most appealing as well. It's also the de facto accent when you have an accent in a movie like Romans or Greek. It doesn't matter. They'll have a British accent. They speak Greece. You know what's funny? In Star Wars, in Andor...

almost all the villains have British accents. And I was watching this season of Andor and there were a few that show up that have American accents. I was like, oh, they don't seem as bad at all. You may fire when ready. Yeah. Moff Tarkin. Princess Leia, I want to reveal something to you. I have three testicles.

So, the idea of the British accent being the most trustworthy holds true across the entire country from Florida to New York to Hawaii. Yeah. That's the belief. But I found this interesting. The second most popular accent and most trustworthy. Let me see if I can wrap my mind around it. Yeah, sure. Second most trustworthy accent. So, we know the British being the first. Mm-hmm.

It surprised you? Yeah. All right, I'm going to tap out. I thought I had something, but I don't. No, it's the American Southern accent. Huh. The most popular accent. People like Southern accents so much that they are 150% more likely to trust someone with one over someone with a non-regional American accent. Daphne, sweetie, I have something to confess. I got three testicles.

So they prefer folks with a southern drawl more than a New York accent. Americans are 256% more likely to trust a southern accent over a New Yorker's accent and find it 232% more appealing than a New York accent. I do love a nice southern drawl. But it can also be used, and many times it's used to create a villainous character. You know, like the colonel. Yeah, and stupidity.

I think as well. It's a default one for that as well, too. So it goes all over the place. Yeah, Gump was pretty dumb. He had a big Alabama accent. I killed Jenny. 60% of Americans admit that they find the New York accent annoying, and 45% of New Yorkers agree that their own accent can be irritating. Yes, sir. Bit me directly in the buttocks.

Only 10% of those surveyed said that they trust someone with a New York accent. Do we have the audio of gum admitting to killing Jenny? Oh, God. Yeah. While you're finding that, we have different preferences for different types of content. British accents are preferred most on platforms including audiobooks, podcasts, and YouTube. Yeah. And they're tied with Scottish accents as the favorite on TikTok. Yeah.

I do like Scottish accents an awful lot. Yeah. If they get too thick, it's difficult to understand. But there's something about it I find appealing. I don't know if this is him admitting it, but this is Gump. Hang on. My mama told me to please watch the tram car. And then Jenny got AIDS. That was weird. He did reference Jenny in that, though. You don't need to know that when you're riding a tram car.

Nearly half of Americans associate British accents with calmness. Yes, that's right. And southern accents are tied with British ones as the favorite. I've heard the most ridiculously interesting thing. It turns out Forrest Gump's girlfriend had AIDS.

By the way, I saw a breakdown that the American Southern accent is actually derivative of the British accent. And if you break down some of the inflections and the pronunciations, you can see the thread there. There is a great book by Thomas Sowell who wrote about the transferal of that accent.

from our southern accent from actually goes all the way up to British aristocracy. It made its way over here and sort of got hybridized. Yeah, that's exactly how it happened. But that's according to this particular survey or poll that was done through, I forgot who conducted this. It was, oh, PodCastle, which is an AI voice platform. All right, I got some other things.

All right, let's go with this one. I was going to hang on to this for a potential just topic on its own. It's junk drug time. But this was another poll that was conducted to celebrate Dolby Laboratories' 60th anniversary. And they have asked to find the best movie soundtracks of all time. Now you're in my zone. My top two. You got in the zone, auto zone. What are your top two? My top two? Well, my first...

It would be Big Chill, and then the second would be Forrest Gump. Okay, so you're talking of collections of songs instead of... No, I'm just saying, that's a soundtrack. That's a legitimate soundtrack. Not the score. Yeah, yeah. Yep. Anybody else want to chime in? You got a favorite soundtrack? If we're talking...

Well, one of my favorite soundtracks of all time is the soundtrack to the movie Glory. Okay. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. With the Harlem Boys Choir. I think as far as songs go, Almost Famous is pretty badass. Yeah.

Singles, Nick? Jerry Maguire. Singles is unfair because that's like almost a Pearl Jam. B-sides or whatever. Steve, you're right. Singles is probably the one that I listen to the most. But Jerry Maguire is really good and almost both Cameron Crowe movies. So starting at number 10 and working our way up. And this is a mixture of soundtracks and scores as well because number 10 is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Oh my God. Beautiful, beautiful. Yes. But...

My vote's for that one. You follow that up with number nine. It's Pulp Fiction. So that's a series of songs. Sorry, I was eating a sardine. What was that again? Pulp Fiction. I don't know. Stop bothering me. Which is... A felt pad. Bilbo, get me a goddamn felt pad. Check out the big brain on Brad. A black magic marker. That's what you want. Right in the yonder.

I haven't time for you, Yolanda. Number eight is The Bodyguard. That had I Will Always Love You on it. Iconic song, yeah. Huge hit. Number seven is Star Wars. And it says any of the films. Yeah, the first for me, obviously. And besides the theme, the classic theme, the Two Sons music is so... I remember listening to that and just finding it so...

blissfully beautiful. There's a scene from one of the Star Wars celebrations where John Williams comes out and conducts live the Princess Leia theme, which is also unbelievably beautiful. But, Steve, you don't get Imperial March until Empire Strikes Back, and that is obviously also just as classic of a Star Wars theme. Absolutely, yeah. Casey, you had words to this for a while, I remember. I did. Two suns Two suns Two suns

All right, that's number seven. Thank you. What's with the blue milk? Number six on this list is Top Gun.

Any of the Top Gun films, it says. Danger Zone. Yeah, Danger Zone was a huge hit. And so is Take My Breath Away. Europe? No, Berlin. Berlin is in Europe. Honestly, that's where the confusion... Would you care to take a swipe at the Big Bowl? Something...

This might be another topic for another time, but I get confused with geographically based names of bands. Like Europe, Asia, Berlin, Kansas, Chicago. They all throw me off occasionally. Boston, thank you. You know my name. I would stand office with you. I didn't want them to know that I've fallen for you. Oh, my God.

You could put Ian McKellen scanned off into any movie and it would work. Well, let's put him in number five, which is The Sound of Music, the greatest soundtrack of all time. Shut up, you little fools. Yeah, I am 16 going on 17. Yeah, you could do that. There was a funny SNL bit because if you stop and think about it, you know...

It's a young girl who's talking about she wants to get wise to the ways of the world. Uh-huh. Yeah. It's almost no fair. I call no fair when you have a musical on your list there. That's...

Do you know what I mean? It is legitimately, though, a soundtrack. It falls within the parameters. I know you were saying by design. By design. Yeah. I mean, it's musical. I mean, if that were the case, then I would go in Greece. Yeah. You know? The Sound of Music has some of the greatest movie songs ever. And also West Side Story, I think, to me, has a number of incredibly beautiful songs. Agreed. All right. Number four on this list, Casey, it's a musical as well, The Greatest Showman. Oh, dude, that's another one, man. That's another one.

I've never seen it all the way through. People are like, oh. But I know the songs. I know the big one. I'll tell you what, Casey. The songs are better than the movie. Okay. The movie's not bad, but the soundtrack is really, really good. And I listen to the soundtrack more than I like the movie. So I'm going to give you a big finger on the nose for right on the money on that, Nick. Thank you. The movie is...

It's not bad. It's fun. The music propels it. But have you guys seen the video of them singing the big song in a studio? They weren't, you know, not... Oh, Dumb Jerk Off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, big dumb jerk off. Dumb jerk off.

It's like an anthem, This Is Me. And it's a fantastic song. I think they performed it at the Oscars that year. And Hugh Jackman's a really good singer. But yeah, the movie itself, it's all right. Number three on the list of the top ten movie soundtracks of all time is Titanic.

Yeah. And obviously My Heart Will Run. I think that's Howard Shore as well. Yeah, it is. The actual music and the song is great. One song, though. That's what I'm saying. You're talking about an entire soundtrack, but really it's just one song. Well, woven through different pieces. But it is...

It's Purdy. Number two, Saturday Night Fever. I'm going to have to give a nod to that. I found that really interesting. Yeah, it's the disco. It's the actual pinnacle of disco. How Deep Is Your Love is a fantastic song. It's an amazing song. And when you hear how it was written, when Robert Stigwood said basically to Barry Gibb, I need a ballad, and literally he's in a room...

and just concocts the whole thing. Steve and I have been public about our Bee Gees love for a long time, like way before that documentary came out. And Bill Weston used to hate it when we talked about how much we love the Bee Gees. He would go, that is crazy. I'm sorry, though. It's great music. They're great singers. They're great songwriters. It's more soulful than you think it is. What's your level of fandom for the movie itself?

It's been a long, long time since I've seen it, but dude, it's a gritty film. And I don't mean it's about our mascot for the Flyers. It was with the googly eyes. But it's some kind of semi-street hood guys, and one of them happens to be a really good dancer, and he kind of starts to go down his own path, and there's

There's a tragedy in it. It's a really well done movie. I love it. I love the movie. If you've never seen it, if you've dismissed it because you think that it is just a disco movie. But it holds up as a... It's almost like a period piece. It is a period piece now because it's of that time. But...

Those people still exist. That's the Bee Gees, yeah. I want to correct myself. I said Howard Shore did Titanic. I was wrong. It's James Horner, but James Horner, Steve, also did Glory. Oh, you're right. Sorry, Nick. You're right. We removed that point that you got earlier. You get to keep the Amana radar range, but got to get back to Turtle Wax. James Horner.

He did some incredible movies. So he did Glory. He did Deep Impact. He did Titanic. So he's got Ransom's on there. Yeah. A lot of good soundtracks on his credits. He died in 2015. All right. And then the last one on the list and number one of the top 10 movie soundtracks of all time is The Lion King. What? That's what it says. Hard stuff isn't on there at all.

Forrest Gump is not on here. I know, I'm surprised. Or The Big Chill, which is considered one of the great soundtracks. I like The Lion King, but I wouldn't say I consider... I mean, if you're going to do that, wouldn't Frozen have a place? I would think so. Marissa? Elton John wrote a lot of the songs for The Lion King. Yeah, it's a huge hit. Can you hear the lions out there?

One of the first CDs I ever bought. Really? Can you feel the love tonight from that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That and Janet Janet were where I spent my money. Janet Janet. Yeah, the one where she's holding her boobs. Oh, Janet Jackson. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's not a soundtrack, right? Yeah.

It's from the movie Holdin' My Boobs. I'm surprised Dirty Dancing's not on the list. That soundtrack did really, really well. That's another one. Yeah, I mean, we got a lot of calls coming in. Unfortunately, we're going to have to take a break. But somebody had mentioned Moana being a great soundtrack. Raw, our friend wanted to say the Mandalorian soundtrack. It is cool. That's a spinoff of Star Wars, obviously. And then Dave said the Highlander soundtrack, Steve, from Queen. Excellent. Yeah.

And I mentioned this a couple of times. A show that has a really good soundtrack is White Lotus. This season. Yeah. It has some really interesting takes on some modern songs or contemporary songs. And of course, there's some hits that are out of Thailand on that soundtrack as well, too. So some cool stuff. All right. But anyhow, I thought that was kind of an interesting peek at music and movies. And it's all in the junk drawer. We got to close it up, Fred. That was the junk drawer. Woo!

Freshness, clothes, we melt the junk drawer. There's nothing left here in the junk drawer. Until next time, no more junk drawer. Yeah.

You're really going for it, by the way. I've not hit you here. I appreciate that. But then you hear Kyle's voice come in. What am I even? Listen, you got to work. What the hell is that? All right, we're going to break. We'll be back in a moment when we return. Yeah, the Bizarre File. We got some good stories to share with you. Later on this morning, Robert Kelly and Kelsey Grammer joining us as well. Be back in a moment. Stay with us.

WMMR presents the 20th annual I Bleed for Preston and Steve Blood Drive Thursday June 12th and Friday June 13th. That's right two days of blood giving goodness this year. First up we'll be at Live Casino and Hotel Philadelphia inside the event center. The next day donations shift to the

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre Family World.

Brought to you by the Bagster. Yeah. You can buy yours now at any home improvement store. Just $29.99. You fill it up, they pick it up on your schedule. The Bagster Dumpster in a Bag by Phil Gaughan. I decided to put this in the Bizarre File. I love this story. Oscar Mayer is hitting the racetrack.

with the debut of the first ever Weenie 500, a competition that will see the brand's iconic Wienermobiles racing at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I want to see this. The event marks the first competitive race for the entire Wienermobile fleet.

And will be the first time that all six vehicles have gathered in over a decade. Are all six vehicles essentially the same looking or are there dramatic differences? I believe they're all the same looking, Steve. I'm pretty sure of that. I just hope that there's not a pile up because if there is, then like they're all gone. Yeah. Each Wienermobile, though, will represent a distinct regional hot dog.

dog, including the shy dog representing the Midwest. Yeah. The New York dog representing the East Coast. The slaw dog, which will represent the Southeast. The Sonoran dog, which represents the Southwest. The chili dog is the South and the Seattle dog representing the Northwest. I love the concept. We've talked about and been fascinated with these things for the longest time. Do we determine what kind of engine that thing has? Those things having it?

Yeah, it's already a pre-made car. And I've forgotten what it is, Steve. And then they just build the custom on top of that. But I broke down the specifics of it one time, but I don't remember. It's got some oomph to it. So the event will include custom hot dog erasing suits and a finish line celebration in the Wieners Circle featuring a condiment spray and a hot dog for the champion. Oscar Mayer is also teaming up with DraftKings.

to launch a free-to-play pool that lets fans predict the outcome of the Weenie 500. I love it. Participants can visit DraftKings.com and answer race-related questions for a chance to win a share of a $10,000 prize pool. The race is set for tomorrow at 2 p.m. and will be streamed live on the Fox Sports app. Highlights will also air during the Indy 500 pre-race show on Fox. So we know somebody whose son, and I don't know if their tenure is up,

but they were a driver of the Wienermobile. I wonder if those people, the people that they elect to be the drivers, are they going to have race car drivers in there? My guess is they might go with professionals to avoid the situation we're talking about, like a pileup. Yep, we will have to see. All right, sometimes reality mirrors films, and it's scary. Astronauts aboard China's space station...

have discovered a previously unknown microbe that has also been occupying low Earth orbit. And it's also inside the space station. A group of scientists examined swabs from inside and found that the form of bacteria not known to inhabit Earth.

Here's a movie you want to watch. It's called Life. And it will F you up. And this sounds like this. The microbe is pretty resilient with the ability to cover itself in a biofilm that's like a protective shield.

And now researchers are trying to figure out how to protect the health of the astronauts and keep the bacteria from making it to Earth. Oh, my God. There's a scene in this movie in particular, Preston, where they have this thing and they're kind of screwing with it. And the scientist has the rubber gloves on. He's reaching through. And the thing is almost like an octopus gelatinous thing clamps onto his hand. That scene just crushes it. Wow. Yeah. All right. Well, let's see if that happens here.

I hope not. A fisherman, this is a great story, came up with the idea of using his drone to help rescue a swimmer struggling in a rip current off the Florida coast. Andrew Smith said that he was preparing to shark fish with his drone near Fort Pickens Beach last Thursday when he saw a teenage girl struggling in the water. Smith grabbed a flotation device.

and attach it to his drone. They then flew the drone to the girl who was able to grab the flotation device and a beach goer had shot the video. First responders arrived and they were able to bring the girl on shore. Smith said, I flew it out there and I missed really bad on the first drop.

A lady grabbed another one for me. I was pretty nervous. We flew it out there and we got it down to her. She was way out there. If I didn't get her that one, I don't know if she would have made it any longer. This has got to be a very viable application because some of these drones are fairly big and can certainly handle this payload. Yeah, I think that, you know, the lifeguard stations should have these.

Just to play with. The drone has two releases on the bottom and can be used for fishing and can carry two life jackets on it and get to people fast. It has a camera on it as well. So he said, I could see the girl's head on the camera. And I assume when he says shark fishing, he's simply just looking to get video or pictures of sharks? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, they have used remote things before to take the line way out there. So I don't know if that's what he was doing or not. Stephen William Daniel. This is a terrible story.

Died after he was attacked by a swarm of bees while he was mowing the lawn in Eastland, Texas. I think this is possibly one of the worst ways to go. Yeah, it's a nightmare. So did he run over a... Somehow or another, he kicked up a nest. So officers responded to reports of a pickup involved in a collision involving private property. When an officer pulled up the scene, he observed the pickup moving in reverse. The officer walked up to the pickup, opened the driver's side door,

Put the truck in parks that it would not strike his unit, his patrol unit. The driver identified as Daniel was being swarmed by bees. He seemed out of it. He had labored breathing. He was slurring. Another officer arrived at the scene, reported multiple bee stingers embedded into his skin as his face began to swell. They stated he had just been stung a bunch of time by a bunch of bees and could hardly see. The officer said, I then had to swat the bees off of myself due to many bees swarming around me and the vehicle.

Daniel was advised to get out of the pickup, but he had trouble moving, and the responding officers assisted him to the patrol unit, and an ambulance arrived on the scene, and he was unresponsive and stopped breathing while he was transported. Wow. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. They tried life-saving measures. The cause of death was circulatory collapse due to bee stings. They said he was not allergic to bees. He was just bombarded with so many. But he had other underlying medical conditions. He was mowing the lawn when he was attacked by the bees.

It looked as if he had backed his truck up away from the bees trying to let them clear the area. Police called in a local beekeeper to find the origin of the beehive. And a large hive of honeybees was found in an abandoned structure near the area where he had been mowing. A local beekeeper safely removed the hive from the structure. But that is just, ugh, man, terrible. All right, I can't end on that. No. That's a terrible one. This is a good one. In New York, it was an exciting morning at CBS 6 when morning show anchor Olivia Jaqueeth

Went into labor just before the newscast, and she still anchored the show. Her co-anchor, Julia Dunn, said Olivia's water broke around 4.15 in the morning still, and in true journalist fashion, Olivia remained calm, poised, and determined to continue doing what she loves, which is delivering the news. That's pretty amazing. Despite being in early labor, she anchored the full morning broadcast.

Her co-anchors jokingly said she even managed to sneak in a yogurt. Her strength, humor, and professionalism in the midst of such a life-changing moment were nothing short of inspiring. And she first announced the pregnancy in February after running the Disney Princess Half Marathon in Florida with her sister. If you're a long-time viewer of the NBC Nightly News, you've probably noticed I've been grimacing for a few minutes. In complete candor, I've had a full bowel

move into my pants, but I will continue with the news. So she managed to do it. She finished the whole thing. Yeah, it's kind of sweet. It's very sweet, in fact. In labor, so she did it. There you go, and that's what I have in the Bizarre Fault. Let me, hold on, I want to check on something. I want to make sure I got...

if i have any short outs or anything like that that i've missed out on i did not look and i apologize well and tomorrow you just can't do it tomorrow oh you know what i have one preston while you're looking uh our buddy kale beers yeah it's his birthday tomorrow hey so um his wife suzanne sent me a really nice note and uh wanted us to wish kale a happy birthday and so we won't be able to do it tomorrow so kale happy early birthday all right fair enough we'll go with that one uh i'll

dig through these and find what I wanted to pass along a little bit later. So we'll come back in a moment. We are doing today Friday stuff because tomorrow is a whole other animal with the live broadcast from Kenan's in North Wildwood. So when we return, we'll do the connoisseur today, which means we have a bunch of stuff to give away and some food to talk about. We'll return with that right after this. Stay with us.

WMMR presents the 20th annual I Bleed for Preston and Steve Blood Drive. Thursday, June 12th and Friday, June 13th. That's right. Two days of blood-giving goodness this year. First up, we'll be at Live Casino and Hotel Philadelphia inside the Events Center. The next day, donations shift to the

The 20th annual I Bleed for Preston and Steve blood drive. Benefiting the American Red Cross. From 93.3 WMMR. Putting Philly first.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right. Thank you, Marissa. And let me say, oh, yeah, I do have my bell. I am ready to go. Yes, you do. Normally, we do this on a Friday. Tomorrow's not your normal Friday. So we are going to do this today so that we make sure we fit it in. So let's get to it. It's time for the connoisseur gang. It's time for the connoisseur Thursday edition because there's no bringing away weekend.

way we can do it in Keenan's. This is Drew, and I want to thank AgriMarkets for being our sponsor, and we're going to give away $50 AgriMarkets gift cards with the clips that we will play here momentarily, and a theme today from Marissa Magnata, all types of foods you would find on the boardwalk. So that is our theme with the movie clips, but...

I'm going to start off with this particular story. It is obviously Memorial Day weekend. That means a lot of people planning parties and cooking out. Yes, grilling kicks into high gear. Absolutely. Rochelle and I went shopping yesterday because we have some friends that are going to be joining us this weekend. So we were stocking up. We saw other people out at the grocery stores. We saw a guy with like 10 cases of beer in the back of his car. Rochelle rolled down the window. She's like, have a good time this weekend. He goes, sure.

Like that. I work at a school. So Instacart recently disclosed its key Memorial Day statistics highlighting how Americans celebrate the unofficial beginning of the summer. And across the country, bottled barbecue sauce remains in high demand among all sauces ordered on Instacart in 2024. And

And they have come across their favorite sauces, okay? America's favorite sauce brands. And also, they did a little dive into the type of things that will be most popular as far as meats and mains that you will be throwing on the grill. Right, right, right. A couple of different things to mention here. So we'll start with...

the favorite sauces, and they kind of vary by region as to... Favorite barbecue sauce? The favorites. But I have the top 10 barbecue sauce brands. There's a few here that I don't know. I don't buy a lot of barbecue sauce because...

Rochelle's not really a big barbecue sauce person. I am. I love it. I can drown stuff in that. What do you go to? What's your go-to? Um, I, you know, so I, since I don't do it that much anymore, I don't really have a favorite band. I mean, do you make your own stubs? No, I don't make my own, uh, stubs is one. Um,

And just kind of whatever. I'm like, whatever looks cool or sounds interesting, I'll grab and go with. Is there a KC brand? Does that ring a bell? Not that I know of. As in Kansas City? Yeah, yeah. Probably. The number one on your list is our go-to. Okay. And not only that, but that brand has a lot of really good sauces.

The one I'm thinking of pressing is a Casey Masterpiece. Okay. And that's my go-to. It is not in the top 10. All right. So number one is, and I'll go with that first because it's Casey's favorite, Sweet Baby Ray's. All right. Sweet Baby Ray's. Is the number one barbecue sauce in the country, according to Instacart. Is it legitimately sweet? I mean, well, yeah. Barbecue sauce in general has a sweetness to it. But I don't know.

I mean, I just think it's superior. And they have other sauces. Like, there's a sauce that, I mean, I guess it rivals the Chick-fil-A sauce, you know, that we use when we make chicken. What the hell is that called?

Chicken cutlets is the word I was looking for. That's our dipping sauce for that. I like a sweeter barbecue. There are some that are sweeter than others, and I do prefer the sweet. If I'm going to be specific, I almost put this in a different category, but the more Carolina vinegar-based ones. If I go to Mission Barbecue, which has great food, they have a

It's like a vinegar bottle of their sauce. It's not amongst their other reddish colored sauces that they have. And that's what I smother my stuff in. I love it. Have you guys had the Jason Fajans? I have not. Oh, Bill's Best. Yeah. That's awesome. It's really good. Yeah. And in fact, it's sold in some grocery stores now. They've expanded. Hmm.

Mission Barbecue Press, and there's one in KOP near where that REI is in that shopping center. I didn't realize how much variety there is when it comes to barbecue sandwiches. And so I tried the vinegar-based one. I don't normally go in that direction, and it was good. I normally default to the standard sweeter barbecue sauce, but it was really good. And there's just so much to choose from. But my favorite barbecue sauce is down at Wilson's.

I'm not pandering here. It is delicious. It's like a horseradish-based one, so it's got a little bit of a kick to it. Do you like the ones that are yellowish, the mustard-based ones? I don't necessarily care about the color. I like a little bit of kick. I'd say I'm not really a big fan.

barbecue sauce fan. Yeah, so a basic gets it done for me. Number two on this list, actually, believe it or not, is the Kraft barbecue sauce, which I do like the Kraft barbecue sauce an awful lot. Next was Backen's, B-A-C-H-A-N-S, 356.

Fourth is Stubbs. I'd mentioned that one. Where does Emerson Biggins fall in? That's not in the top ten, unfortunately. Number five is Kinder's. Number six is G. Hughes. The number seven most popular barbecue sauce is Rib Rack. Five.

followed by Primal Kitchen, Sticky Fingers. Sticky Fingers, Tickle Bitties? Number nine, and Tickle Bitties at number ten. No, Open Pit. So you don't know a lot of those. No. They're probably more regional then. Maybe so. Yeah. Because they definitely said that it depends on your region. I grew up on a barbecue sauce called Malls. Yeah.

And the ad campaign was, don't grill your barbecue, maul it. Was it M-A-U-L-S? M-A-U-L-S, yeah. What is the base in barbecue sauce? Tomato. Tomato? Ketchup, you know, a lot of times is the base. So, Nick, if you could pull up just a standard barbecue sauce recipe, because sometimes there's

There's brown sugar in it. There's vinegar, salt, pepper, stuff like that. Maybe vinegar, tomato paste, onion powder, spices such as mustard and black pepper, sweeteners like sugar or molasses. Like Steve was saying, you can make it yourself. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Did you say there is ketchup in there? Onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, but you can put ketchup in it as well if you want to add a little bit of that flavor in there.

So, as far as the meats and favorite mains that people put out on the grill. I want to hear this. Regionally, in the Midwest, bratwurst tops the list. And likely a nod to the region's love for hearty, grill-ready meats. I'm not a brat guy. I've never been. I know people, though, who friggin' inhale. I was about to say the effort. Friggin' inhale them. I'm one of them. We make them regularly. Are you a kielbasa? Is the kielbasa a brat? Nope. Totally different. Try the Johnsonville brat.

It is a jalapeno cheddar brat. It is amazing. I don't usually do the filled brats, so what are you owing about? You're not big on spice, right? Spicy, spicy? It's not crazy spicy. It's not super spicy, but it does have jalapenos in it. The way we make our bratwurst is we boil them in beer with onions and butter.

All right. And then you put them on the grill and then you can use some of the onions that you cooked in the beer to go on the on the brat as well. You gave me a grill recipe a few years ago, Preston, that potato bomb. Yeah. You know, and just tinfoil and then potatoes and then essentially whatever else you want to put in it. But it's like garlic, salt, pepper. But like it's like a stick of butter. You know, you have to use a lot. But yeah, I like using onions, peppers, whatever. Isn't that a hit for the runaways?

What? Potato bomb. Oh, that's cherry bomb. Oh. Yeah, yeah, close. Did you put brats or kielbasa in the seafood bake or boil? That was kielbasa. That was kielbasa. You should probably do that this weekend. I wish I could. We're not ready for it this weekend. Are you going to be over there, Casey? Yeah. Well, if he's going to make it. But we will do another seafood boil this summer, and you are invited. Okay. You're all invited, actually.

All right. So Bratwurst is number one in the Midwest. The South, particularly in states like Tennessee and Georgia, they like back and spare ribs. Those lead the way, which aligns with the area's deep-rooted barbecue traditions. And in Oregon, so you're talking back home in Oregon, up in the Northwest. Back home to Oregon. Veggie sausages are a favorite. No, I don't think I will. Do you ever do the sardine kebabs? What?

What do you heat those with? Do you use a, if you're going to... A cigarette lighter. I take a flamethrower. Yeah, I think so, right? I take a flamethrower to this place. Wow. That man knows how to barbecue. Reflecting on the state's plant-forward and eco-conscious mindset. What it does...

Oh, someone's hungry. Smell good. Yeah. What it doesn't mention is the Northeast and what we like to grill. There is no Northeast. Oh, that's kind of interesting. I like grilling sausage. I like, you know, like any type, Casey, you know, the type that has the melted cheese on the inside of it. That's a nice little treat when you slice open your sausage. So when you guys are heading to the barbecue, is it more likely going to be stuff like this or do burgers? Yeah. Listen, I won't do it. I don't do frozen burgers. Uh,

uh you would cook them yeah no no no no meaning like uh you know like a bubba burger i prefer meat like uh like fresh ground meat okay uh but if i am doing that if i'm at a barbecue i'm just getting a hot dog i'm a hot dog guy all right yeah hot dogs are yes uh when grilled uh-huh they're pretty damn awesome yeah um i will do maybe one hot dog i do love hot dogs but i can't you can't

They're good for you. Yeah, they're so good for you. Really? You can't beat a good burger on the grill, man. I agree. I agree. You know what I do like a bit? And again, for the hot dog experience on a grill, I like the crispiness. Yeah. I agree. You know what's re-entered my life in the last few months is chicken legs. I'm back! Drumsticks, yeah. That was a barbecue staple when I was growing up. Chicken breast, chicken legs. I'm back!

And so for whatever reason, I found them to be delightful again. That's a good idea. They don't think to throw, you know. I don't anymore. I haven't for a long time. But like barbecue sauce on a chicken leg, damn good. You know what happens when you think about it? Then you immediately think of chickens in wheelchairs. You don't like that. Oh, poor baby. Nick, then you should go to Acme on Mondays. They have cheap chicken Mondays and they have fried chicken or like roasted chicken. And you can go all legs if you want.

So is that for grilling purposes or for already made purposes? Already made purposes. Gotcha. All right. So anyhow, grill up this weekend. We need to play a clip about food from a movie. What movie is this food clip from? Thank you. And all of these foods are things you can find on the boardwalk in honor of opening the Jersey Shore. Here is our first clip to see if you can name what movie this is from. Follow you. Where?

To my car. Would you forget your french fries that go with the soda? I have them already. All right, 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know what movie that's from. Order up. Consumer Reports annual risky food report is out. Risky food for those who live on the edge. Naming the top foods of 2024 that were subject to the most recalls and or linked with the largest illness outbreaks.

I'm going to be curious to hear this because I bet it'll run contrary to what I might think or presume. So this is a warning. Their list is based on the number of illnesses and deaths associated with bacterial food contamination last year, how large the outbreaks were, the number of recalls, and the amount of food recalled.

Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli were to blame for last year's outbreaks. Found in foods like, well, I'm not going to say. I'm going to dive right into this. So we'll go backwards on this one. We'll start at number 10. Number 10 is ready-to-eat cooked poultry and meat.

Yeah. You're talking about like a produce shortcut? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff like that. Ready to eat, cooked poultry and meat. Not so ready to eat, was it? I still have to cook that stuff. You know what I mean? You re-cook it? Oh, yeah, yeah. I have to. Really? Yeah, yeah. You mean just heat it up? Heat it up, yeah. Yeah.

All right, number nine is organic basil. There are a few organic things on here. Organic basil? Yeah. Number eight, organic carrots. See, organic you think. Well, this is going to be good and healthy and so on and so forth. Scrawling with disease. Number seven is leafy greens. Yeah. Number six, onions. What about roadkill raccoon? Number five, eggs.

Okay, so I told you about how I had some stomach issues earlier in the week. Was it eggs? Well, I made fried rice and it had eggs and carrots and onions in it. So maybe, just maybe, that's... Because you said your O-ring blew out. Yeah, big time. And I was literally the only person in my household who ate it.

So this had to have been it. Have you made my recipe yet? Not yet. You son of a bitch. Did you watch The Departed? Here's the deal. Hang on. Yes, I did. Okay, so then you need to do this. He hasn't watched Days of Confused yet. No, I haven't. So here's the deal. I've been telling you for years about my fried rice. Yes.

And then you went ahead and you made some on your own. And then I gave you my recipe and you have not used it yet. And now it's too late. We're not friends anymore. Yes, we are. You're not invited to that seafood bake anymore. Yes, I am. No more. I'm here.

Just put the table on Casey's front lawn and eat it right there. Preston, yesterday you had a story in the news about cucumbers. Yeah. And are they on the list? They, well, let's find out. All right, then. I know that they're sensual.

They're sensuous. Yes. Number four is cotija and queso fresco cheese. I like cotija. It's good cheese. Number three is raw dairy in general. These are the riskiest foods. What about Delby Chai Chai? I don't know about that. But raw dairy, I guess, is unpasteurized. Yeah. Sucking on the teat, you know? Yeah, why not? Sucking on a chili teat. Number two, cucumber.

Cucumbers. Is that amazing? Number two on the list of most risky foods. Yeah, the news yesterday was Bednar Growers. And they're in restaurants, wholesalers, and grocery stores. To what do they attribute that to? Because it has to become contaminated at some point. Mm-hmm.

Is it the fact that people will use it? It's probably the fertilizers and stuff, yeah. Good question, but it's either salmonella, listeria, or E. coli. See, you're telling your kids to eat their salads and all that stuff, and it's lethal. Circus peanuts, that's the safest. Number one on this list for riskiest foods of 2024, deli meat. Huh.

In general. I'll risk it. Yeah. I'm good. Worth it. I'm still going to go for it. Do you buy a lot of deli meat? Yeah. Okay. You make a lot of sandwiches? Almost every time I go to the grocery store, yeah, deli meats and deli cheeses. Okay. For sandwiches, yep. What's your go-to? Lately, like...

honey smoked turkey or oven roasted turkey so we get we always have original acme original um turkey and swiss did i ever tell you guys about the time my mom ordered ham for easter and uh she wanted to get a two pound ham so she went to acme and ordered a two pound ham except that they she what she had actually ordered was uh like two pounds of deli meat oh no oh no oh man she's like well for easter we're having deli meat this year oh that's funny

That's great. All right, well, we're going to play this movie clip again, see if we can get a winner, find out what movie this food clip is from. Follow you. Where? To my car. Would you forget your french fries to go with the soda? I have them already. All right, we're going to go to Adam on our phone, see if he knows what the answer is. Adam, good morning, brother. Good morning. Long time caller. First time listener. You did it the other way. Happy to have you either way. All right, Adam, what movie is that clip from?

I think I heard Madsen and Keitel. I'm going to go Reservoir Dogs. That is correct. Yeah! Absolutely correct. Hang on, my man. We are going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Right, Case? Yep. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme. Fresh foods, local flavors. All right. We're going to play another clip. See you in a minute.

See if we can identify what movie it is from. Remember, all these foods have to do with stuff you can get on the boardwalk. Here is our next one. I'm off early because of a crisis at work, but I thought we could go get some seltzer. All right. 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know what movie that is from. Order up.

So we're going to segue over to something a little bit more personal of the Preston and Steve show because the Delicious City Philly podcast featuring Chef Eli Culp, Dave Wez, and Marissa Magnato. Hey!

are hosting a tailgate as a fundraiser for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign. And it will be for the Phillies Braves game coming up on the 27th at 4 p.m. And Marissa gave me the list of stuff to expect. If you want to expand, Marissa, feel free. Expert tailgaters Forth and John are co-hosting the party. Mike's Barbecue will be there smoking meat and veggies with Ruby's Seasoning.

Porcos, and I'll need help with the pronunciation, Marissa. Porcheteria? Got it. Porcos, Porcheteria, and Pastromskis will be serving sides as well. Coco's Gelato is creating unique flavors for the event, including a tasty cake-inspired gelato.

Kenwood Beer Surfside and Pray Tell Wine will provide beverages. And Ice Sculpture Philly is bringing out an ice luge as well. Oh, well, there you go. That'll get it done. That sounds like fun, Marissa. Thank you. Yeah. And if you've ever been to a Delicious City podcast party, they are always fun. And Eli and I have some surprises, too, that are coming out this time. You have some surprises? Yeah. Eli loves a surprise. Yeah.

Even when we're planning and doing meetings, somehow he just whips out something that wows everybody. Look at this. Okay. So question, Marissa, about this. And by the way, it's again, it's going to be on the 27th at four o'clock at the Philz game. Do people pay?

Let's just dump all of this out. And our friends from the Wells Fargo Center, we love you so much. Well, it's a charity event. 25% of the proceeds go to the American Heart Association. So you can get tickets at Delicious City Podcast.

I mean, I was doing the math, and this is the same amount that you would pay at a bar for a couple of drinks. Yeah. And now it's going to the American Heart Association. That's great. Excellent. All right, we're going to see if somebody knows what movie this clip is from. I'm off early because of a crisis at work, but I thought we could go get some saps, sir. All right, we will go to the phones, and it's Bill who wants to take a stab at this. Hey, Bill, good morning, bud. Hey, good morning, guys. How y'all doing? Great, man. Do you know what movie that clip is from?

I do. That is from Barbie. Barbie! Yay! Alexa! Hang on, Bill. We're going to set you up, my man. Yep, you got yourself a $50 Acme Markets gift card. If you're hungry and in a hurry, Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less fast. Fresh and right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. All right, another clip. And again, foods you will find on the boardwalk. Here we go. Oh!

All right. Let's see if you know what movie that is from. Call 610-660-9333 to get in the running for it. It's time for the fast food roundup.

Stories from the world of fast food. I only have two of them today, but one of them is my favorite place. I make no bones about it as far as burgers go. Shake Shack. And I know that they're more fast casual because they don't really have a drive-thru, but they're burgers and fries and so on. So I want to throw that in here. Shake Shack has made pickle lovers' dreams come true with the debut of their first ever Newside fast food.

Fried pickles. I just had fried pickles yesterday. I love them. I was at the White Dog in Wayne. Oh, yeah. And they give me a good fried pickle anytime. I think that's what Shakespeare said. I think so. But I like them. I try not to go crazy on them. Any deep fried stuff, I try not to overdo. It's very good for you. But these crispy briny bites are dipped in a flavorful batter and served with creamy buttermilk ranch for peak snacking. Fusuf.

The crunchy newcomers are part of the new summer barbecue lineup and pair perfectly with everything, burgers, hot dogs, and you gotta get them while they're hot and while they last. Because you never know with the items like this, they may stick around for just a little bit. So you're going to test market them. Your default when you're going out for fast food, nine times out of ten, Shake Shack?

Well, I mean, there aren't any convenient to me, unfortunately. So, no, nine times out of ten, it's probably McDonald's because I got one right down the street from my house. I hear you. If I have my choice, if I have my pick of the litter...

um yeah shake shack if i if i want a burger that's where i'm going all right love them so fried pickles and i was robbed of fried pickles last night we were gonna go to pj wellehands who they do their fried pickles in the spear form which are really really good do you prefer a pickle chip or a pickle spear fried i'm a spear dude i think they're two different animals but um the pickles are fun because they're small and they're easily consumable quickly it's the inner warrior in me um

And sometimes the spears, if you bite into them, the breading can crumble and fall all over the place. So I think it's a little bit more of a convenience in the chip. But to each his own. Yes. All right. And then one last fast food story. There is only one spot in the United States where you can feast on unlimited Chick-fil-A.

And it is actually at the University of Oklahoma's Couch Restaurants. For $14 to $18, depending on the meal, you can load up on all the nuggets and waffle fries that your heart desires, plus 13 other food stations. So is this only open to the students? Yeah, yeah. So students with a meal plan, they swipe in for free.

and then you can just have at all the Chick-fil-A you want. So that's the only place, I believe. So 30 grand for the tuition. That they do. Yeah. I think I'm fairly certain that my son's going to Scranton next year, that they have a Chick-fil-A at one of their commissaries. On the campus. Yes. Wow. Yeah. But I don't know how that works. We got boned out of... I want to hear about high schools having fast food places. Yeah.

Southerton would serve Chick-fil-A straight up. What in the hell? Yeah, it was pretty awesome. We had hamburgers that were steamed. Yeah, and questionable at best. Burgers spelled with an I. Bizarrely, I kind of liked those. It was weird. While I was in high school and I was eating this thing, I'm like, I know this is garbage.

But I kind of like it. Cereal burgers. I don't know why. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they weren't the same. They didn't have the same texture. Do you know where they could be good? Honestly, if you barbecued. On a grill, if you incinerated the crap out of those, not bad. Okay. So Chick-fil-A buffet dreams come true if you happen to be in Norman, Oklahoma. Yes. That's where you will find them. Everyone stops there eventually. All right. Let's see if you can identify what movie this clip is from. Oh. Whoa.

Which is a boardwalk staple, of course. We will go to Megan. See if she knows. Hi, Megan. Morning. YouTube. All right. YouTube. Megan, name the movie, please.

That would be a Christmas story. Of course. Yep, you got it right. Hold on, Megan. You get a prize. Yeah, you get a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Thank you, Acme. If you're hungry and in a hurry, Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme fresh foods, local flavors. Anytime a YouTuber calls in and gives a shout out to the YouTube page,

They just go nuts. And it makes me really happy to see. It's such a supportive community, one another. So YouTube, Megan, you made an impact. I love our YouTube family. I hope some of our YouTubers are coming to Keenan's tomorrow and will be en masse and visible for us to acknowledge. They're a partying breed. Yeah, most definitely. All right, we have two more clips and two more stories in the connoisseur, so let's get to it. Name this movie. What's this smell?

Must be the dog. That's popcorn. Yes, sir, I know. Get away from me. I can't stand popcorn. I hate popcorn. Come on, put it over there. Good. Now I know what to get you for your birthday. Let's see if we've been paying attention this morning. What movie is that from? 610-660-9333. Order up.

So the 2025 Sweets and Snacks Expo just wrapped up in Indianapolis. I didn't even know this thing existed. No, I'm glad I didn't. A record number of products entered this year. Judges had some tough decisions to make on more than 400 items in 12 categories. So I'm going to highlight...

a few of the options or a few of the awards that were from the most innovative of the new product awards. I bet you when this event is taking place, the hotels where the people are staying see a marked decline in the use of their gym. All right, so we're going to start with this. Best in show was Bell's Gourmet Popcorn and their Matcha Latte Popcorn. Okay, so I am a massive popcorn fan, but I do not like a lot of effing with popcorn. However, this sounds pretty good. So the buttered

popcorn from this brand is already a fan favorite so their kettle corn with matcha latte magic and white chocolate drizzle is supposedly really really good so that's what won that award is that a little too fancy schmancy for you i mean i know you love kettle i'm walking the tightrope on this one so yeah well i'd have to sample it for myself steve i just saw recently on my instagram reels people that are futzing with how they make popcorn and what they'll do uh they could take like a pepper

Pepperoni or bacon. And they'll fry that up, right? And then they take the pepperoni or bacon out of the frying pan. Then they throw the kernels in with that oil. Okay. And they let the oil, you know. Kind of influences the taste. Yeah, I'm sort of pretty conventional. It's the type of popcorn that I select, the type of butter. And now I pop oil less, which is fantastic. So I guess, Casey, that would be like an infusion popcorn. It would, yeah. Right, you're infusing the oil.

Or you're rendering the fat is what you're doing, actually. It's a big thing now. These variations. You know, Kim Kardashian. No, Khloe just released her line of gourmet popcorns. You know what would be great? Duck fat popcorn. Yeah? Yeah, because duck fat's used quite a bit in some dishes.

All right. So also another category at the Sweets and Snacks Expo, the best gummy candy. And that went to Nerds Juicy Gummy Clusters. Yes. Yes. I'm happy. You a fan? Yes. I hate gummy candy. I hate gummy bears. All of that stuff. Yeah. And I don't do gummy bears, but the Nerds Clusters. I've talked to you guys about this. Like the kids go crazy.

Crazy for that. That's where I had them. I had them for my son. I don't know if it was a Halloween candy or it just showed up. Maybe Easter. It doesn't matter. And the texture on it is fantastic. You get the Nerds Crunch on the outside and the gummy cluster on the inside. Damn good. So the Strawberry Punch flavor, Nick, was the winner and is on its way to being as popular as Nerds Gummy Cluster. You know, it's weird, though. I didn't like gummies, but I did like Good & Plenty.

Okay. All right. But it's more licorice, right? Well, yes, but they're gummy on the inside. Yeah, they shell on the outside, right? Choo-choo Charlie.

Mike and Ike's? Mike and Ike's are the fruity version of that. So, yeah. All right. The best chocolate went to Pop and Soul Coconut Flaked White Chocolate Covered Cashews. So, white chocolate, let me tell you something. It's a pretender. It is. It's a poser. Now, I don't hate it, but I find white chocolate routinely, and I know people love the way I say chocolate,

is too sweet. It's too sweet. Too sweet. Chocolate. That man knew his chocolate. By the way, real quick, did you know Good & Blenties were invented in Philadelphia? No. Yeah, they were produced... If you say Ben Franklin, I'm going to die. No, no, no. First produced by the Quaker City Chocolate and Confectionery Company in Philadelphia, PA in 1893.

Wow. Yeah. I did not know they'd been around that long. It was originally they were working on an ED drug, Preston. And it turned out to be a wonderful, delightful candy. No boner, but this is delicious. Now they are a Hershey product. All right. Let me tell you about the Pop and Salt Coconut Flaked White Chocolate Covered Cashews. People are already obsessed with the sea salt and vinegar almonds. So they were excited to try the white chocolate cashews so much so that it ended up winning that category. Then you had the Best Gum Cushion.

Yeah. And that went to mint breath rocks popping breath mints blue raspberry. Okay. They're fruity, minty, powered by zinc and described as almost like pop rocks. Accepting Ian McKellen. I don't actually chew gum, but my dear friends work for this company. And from what I understand, it's like an explosion in your mouth. Wow.

I'm unfamiliar. I'm sorry. It's not my scene, bro. All right. On to the best meat. Now, it's not just sweet stuff because they also have the best meat snacks. Oh, okay. Do you sometimes just sit down and watch TV with a bucket full of meat? There was a time where I could sit down

With a whole bunch of Slim Jims and polish them all off. Jerky. I now find them kind of gross. Oh, no. I do like beef jerky, but the meat sticks have... The whole concept of the meat stick is something you're not... Not anymore. I used to eat them all the time. One of my go-tos at Wawa is a Slim Jim, the big variety. So they have a thicker version of Tabasco Slim Jim.

It's fantastic. Who was the sponsor that we had that was a jerky? Oh. They were really good. That was wild. They had a huge array. Yeah, this was at least a decade ago because they gave me a whole lot for like hiking trips. I think I took some to Africa or whatever, but they were really good. I liked those a lot. And yeah, present. I'll still snack on it or use it on a camping trip. But when you think of Slim Jim, who do you think of immediately? Macho Man. Macho Man. Oh, yeah, brother. Hello.

Avenue Slim Jim. Yeah, I love this. I was thinking of that high school they were hazing. High school, brother. That was pious. Pious, yeah. They stuck the Slim Jims in people's butts as a... Dude, what's wrong with the Slim Jim? It tastes like somebody's ass. As a hazing. My Slim Jim tastes like someone's ass, brother. Oh, you... Picking up some butthole in here. Like butthole, brother.

So the best meat snack went to Bavarian Meats original little Langeger individually wrapped sticks. Made with no artificial ingredients, zero sugar, and packed with nine grams of protein per saving. So that was serving. That was the best one. Is this an award show or do people get in tuxes and gowns for this thing? It's an expo. Okay. Yeah. Do you remember...

The Macho Man Shakespeare commercial for Slim Jims? No. Where he's like, wherefore art thou, brother? No. Yeah. I need to see that. They were doing a play. It was like a high school play. And all of a sudden, he shows up and the guy who's playing Romeo or whatever can't deliver his lines. And Macho Man shows up. And that was a cartoon staple back in the late 80s, early 90s. All right. I have two more awards to mention. The Best Salty Snack.

Went to Bell's Gourmet Popcorn and Dubai Chocolate is the name of Bell's Gourmet Popcorn flavored Dubai Chocolate. Dubai Chocolate's very good. Yeah. The difference between, I gotta think of the riff here, Dubai's Chocolate is that they are inherently... Don't like it. Don't like it, where the people of Abu Dhabi do. Yes, correct. So...

On trim with the Dubai chocolate craze, snackers are going out of their way to find this viral flavor. Bell's is the only brand to win in two categories at the expo, by the way. All right, and then one last award at the snack event. Who was featured in the In Memoriam section? I don't know. Orville Redenbacher. Orville Redenbacher. Best... Orville Redenbacher. Choo-choo Charlie. Slim Jim.

He got too slim. So the last award went to the best savory snack, and that was Snack Club Ramen Flavored Snack Mix. Okay. So it joins the Snack Club lineup of Hidden Valley Ranch and Tajin flavors. Some fans are grabbing as many bags as they can to find the new ramen flavor. So in this whole thing, kitchens and...

chem labs are equally represented because so much of this stuff is just artificial. Let's see if somebody knows what movie this is from. Here we go. What's that smell? Must be the dog. That's popcorn. Yes, sir. I know. Get it away from me. I can't stand popcorn. I hate popcorn. Come on. Put it over there. Good. I know what to get you for your birthday. All right. We are going to Andrew to see if he knows what movie it is from. Hey, Andrew. Good morning. Hey, good morning to see you. Good morning yet, buddy. All right. Name that movie, brother.

R.I.P. Iceman. That's from Real Genius. Real Genius. That is correct, sir. Absolutely. Hold on a second, buddy. We'll get you in phone. We'll set you up with this. You got a $50 Acme Markets gift card if you're hungry and in a hurry. Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. Okay. We only have time for... Man, we don't even really have time for one. We don't.

We don't. Yeah, we should probably stop. And the last one I was going to get to is a biggie as well. It would take a while to discuss it. So maybe we'll hold it to next week.

It's awesome. It's awesome. We're happy to welcome our good friend back to our studio, Mr. Robert Kelly is right here in the flesh. What's happening? I say we let her headline time. Yeah. Just let her go. Yeah. Hey, when you're done, put the mic down. I'll come out and I'll do whatever you got left. Yeah, whatever you want to say. It's funny, Robert. I'm the furthest thing from a stand-up comedian. I can go out and introduce people, maybe say something fun to get the crowd going and everything, but...

If you were to say, all right, you got 10 minutes, I would fold immediately. I'd love to see that. You remember, though, when you were doing stand-up, again, my period of about 10 years, and it's an art. It's an incredible art, what you do, and you raise it to an art form. We make fun of people who say it's an art. Yeah, it is. I'll tell you this, though. You have to remember that time in the beginning where you're like,

If I could just get 10 minutes. If I could just get 10 minutes, right? Building to it. Or am I misstating? Did you have a glut of material right from the get-go? No, I was a hack right out of the gate. Yeah. I mean, dude, I was...

I was, I think my confidence was too, you know, I just wanted, here's my thing. Get on stage, get chicks. That was my thing. I was like newly sober. I didn't care. I was like, dude, I'll do this and get chicks. I would go on stage. It's so funny because they have clips of me doing this. But one of my things when I wouldn't get a laugh, I would muscle a joke. Sort of like, yeah, man, and this, and then she'd do that and that.

And then if they didn't laugh, I go... Dude, Casey, that's something I see you doing. Dude, in this video, I will never let this enter the universe. But my mom sent me a videotape of me on stage. I got a flannel with no sleeves.

a tight shirt. I'm looking, I got it. I look great. My hair's like new kids in the block faded up curly. And I was like, I'm on stage, but I'm like, yeah. And then women do this and they do that. And then they go there. And for some reason, the crowd would laugh. The crowd,

It's like a Middle Eastern comedy show. The show that I actually have on tape is the show I brought my wife to when I was trying to mink, you know? I brought her to that show and I have that on tape and now... God. So when you did...

The first time we worked with you, it was a Maxim event. Yeah. And you were emceeing, and you were great. But I don't recall the... No, I had to cut that out. Okay. I had to cut out two things. I had plastic buck teeth were most of my act. Okay? So...

That was when I was in a jam. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I know we're going to hear that tonight at the damn show. In fact, as soon as Robert is introduced, everybody in the audience is going, Is this an Indian casino? No, no, no. Good. Yeah, you can do it. I don't want the high chiefs to come down from upstairs. What is going on? That's his war cry. Is it?

Is it possible your wife was turned on by that little tongue action that she saw you use that night? No. Definitely not now. I would have enough saliva to get that thing going. It's like the car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when they first got it.

Robert, isn't a cheap laugh still a laugh, though? I mean, I get that it's a cheap laugh, but you're still making the audience have a good time. Listen, look, Colin Quinn said it the best. You're not a real comic unless you don't feel guilty when you walk off. We all do something in our sets that we're like, but it doesn't matter. Yeah, you're trying to make people laugh, right? But as you get through it, there's certain things you're like, ah, that was...

I've done that before. I stopped going... I had to stop my buck teeth because it was 15 minutes. And I had to do a show once and I forgot them. And I was in Vermont trying to make buck teeth with a paper plate. And it just folded into my mouth.

And I'm going, look, a goofy vampire. It just didn't work, right? Yeah. And then I had to stop having sex with the stool. Yeah, that was true, yeah. A lot of comics, that's a lot of comics is the stool becomes the girl. I've seen that. Yeah. I've seen that happen recently. I won't say who it was, but with a well-respected...

Top level comedian. Jay Moore. I'll say it. Listen. No, I'm kidding. The sex with the stool. I'll tell you what. Jay Moore. There's certain comics that had stool down. Like they were. Jay Moore. Yeah. Rogan. Expert stools having sexer. Yes. Can I say it like that? Yeah. Absolutely. Having sexer. Yeah. Stool effort. Oh, he could. Stool effort. Man, Rogan would get up on it. Yeah. I saw him do one. He was a demon. He was a demon.

I saw the lion one. The demon is good, but the lion is even better. I would make love to the stool. I remember one night I was on stage and Patrice...

Jay was on and then Maceo was on and then I was on, then Jay was on, then Maceo was on. So I had sex with the stool. Jay really banged the stool. And then Maceo did a thing where he drank the cup. He goes, Maceo just drank out of the stool that Jay and Bobby banged. It was like, I got to stop. I'm out. Yeah. So what's...

And it's funny because you talk about the mechanics of what's up on stage. How long before you developed? Because I found it when I was doing it again, but a lot of people, you see comedians go through different phases about how they approach the mic, if they want the mic on a stand. I mean, so what's your optimum situation? You seem to be just holding the mic, right? I need a corded mic. Okay. I found there's another thing that I do that I didn't know I did.

And I found this out on live TV.

My first, Carson Daly had a show. Yeah. Late, late, late. Late, late. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was my first late night show that I got. I was going to be on TV. Yeah. Doing that type of humor. Because I'm a little edgy. Yeah. So I never got those things. So I'm like, oh my God. So I do this show. Now, mind you, Carson Daly, he would go out. They were there to see the band. Whatever weird knuckle buckers or whatever weird- The knuckle buckers.

Yeah, he's still connected to MTV at that point. The whole crowd's there to see Knuckle Busters or Balloon Knot or whoever they have. You know what I mean? Balloon Knot.

And then he would do a long-form interview with an actor. And I'm talking long-form. Not 10 minutes, 20. Like a 45-minute interview that you want to kill yourself to. And then they would bring the comic out with no warm-up at all. No warm-up person. So they do a 45-minute long-form in front of a bunch of kids. They see Balloon Knot and Knuckle Buster. And then they go, oh, by the way,

Here's, you know, chub boobs. And they just bring you out. So I go out there and I have the microphone, cordless microphone. And when I get nervous, I didn't know I would actually grab the mic cord, stretch it out and kind of pull it and twiggle it with my right hand. And that was my, I'm bombing, let me get out of this because I didn't have the...

anymore, right? So, I'm literally, now there's no cord. It's just me. Looks like I'm just, you know, cruising for guys in a mangrove bush down in West Palm. You know what I mean? I'm just doing this on live TV. I come off, I'm bombing, I bombed so bad. Really? I bombed so bad. Nothing. They were looking at me like, why? Ugh.

Why? I come off, my agent's like, what the hell were you doing with your hand? Like mad at me. Yeah. Because I was just shaking my mic hand for no reason. And you didn't know. I didn't know. And then. You're basically giving a hand job to the air. Yeah, exactly. And then I'm like, all right, I go to the seller. They got it on. Oh, no. Hey, but there's no sound. I'm like, okay, thank God. Thank God it's so loud in the olive tree. They don't have sound.

So I'm standing next to Steve Byrne. All of a sudden, the first joke comes out. I'm like, this is a bad one. And it wrote, light laughter. And I was like, oh, God. The closed captioning? Light laughter? He was like, the closed captioning guy was like, this guy stinks. And Steve went, you bombed, didn't you? I go back and do it again. The Bacon Brothers are on. I bomb again. Wow. And I do it with the hand. I can't stop.

My hair's going. Because I'm so nervous, my hair's just wiggling in the air. Oh, man. So when I did the Tonight Show, finally years later, I go, I want a corded mic. And they're like, yo, I go, corded mic or I'm not doing it. The guy walked out. He goes, I haven't hooked one of these up in 16 years. Yeah.

Because there's no way I was going to do that. It was something that you would hold on to as just like a security. Burr hangs on the mic. Patrice would always sit down. Jay sits down. I notice these things and I don't necessarily notice that I notice them. But what I really notice is when a comedian...

has a headset mic. I can't stand that. That's like a TED talk. It is. Well, Babiglia... But he's doing like a one-man show type of thing usually. It was a little bit of a different feel. I need to see a mic in a hand. It's so funny. I was at the cellar one night and...

God bless him. But he was down there and, you know, cell is just the basement room. Yeah. A hundred people. If that. Yeah. And he was doing a joke and he got a laugh, but he looked up at the balcony like they laugh too. And I was like, he looked up like, and there's no, it's a ceiling. You're not in the theater. Nobody's up there.

But some of these guys... He went to the balcony in the basement. Yeah, he went... And then the crowd laughed. It was a funny joke, but then he looked up like he was practicing balcony work. I was like, what a...

Going back to mic technique, and this was the classic Bill Cosby himself routine, and I always notice this about him, because that was one with the, you know, dad is great, made the chocolate cake and all that stuff, is he would have his microphone and he would actually hold it like down in his lap. Mm-hmm.

And being in radio, I know mic technique, you need to be close on the mic. Sometimes you need to back away for a fact. But he literally had it resting down in his lap most of the time. Yeah, that's right. Unless he wanted to do, I got really close on a microphone like this. But I always thought that was really odd. He would do that because it was like if he wanted to really yell at his kids. Yeah. I told you.

Right, yeah. But even when he was just speaking regularly. Well, it's a thing with sound guys, with comedy. Yeah. Get the sound up, and I need you to leave the room. Yeah. I need you to walk away. To not ride the levels. These guys really think that I'm Bon Jovi. Yeah.

And there's nothing worse than when you're doing it and it's all going up and down and up and down. I do that with my hand. It's for effect. Yeah, I know how to control the sound. And they're like, well, you get a little loud. Yeah, I know. That's the point. That's why we have these microphones.

We were presented initially years ago with the notion of a headset. But I do this. I get right on it and I pull away and I want the physical mic. Yeah, yeah. Sound guys infuriate me. It's just something they walk up and, you know, they've been doing it for a long time.

They probably, you know, they did Led Zeppelin back in the day. No, man, shut up. I'm a comic. I'm telling jokes about my penis and my wife's dry vagina. It's not science. I'm going to go, that's what I'm done. When you hear, play the music.

That's hilarious. Yeah. Well, you're a musician as well. What? You play drums. Listen to me, dude. Listen to me. Let's just backpedal that. Let me tell you something. I thought... I can sit down in a drum kit now and mess around, but...

No, dude. There's a certain gene you have to have to be a musician and to push it through the other side. And I do not have that gene. Hopefully my son has it. Right. I took all my drum stuff and my teacher and I put it on my kid.

Because I remember when we were doing Sex and Drugs, right? I worked so hard to learn how to play drums in two months. I had to learn how to play this instrument. You hadn't played before? No. Billy Bird took me to the basement. That sounds weird. Billy Bird took me to the basement like 30 years ago in Canton. And he's like, Dad, that's all you got to do. You know, paradiddle, paradiddle. And he gave me a drum pad. I go, yeah, paradiddle this.

I want to play. You know what I mean? That's where your brain's at. And I should have done it back then. But when I did Sex and Drugs, I worked so hard learning these songs.

So we're on stage. We're shooting the thing. And cameras are going. We got, you know, John Corbett on the guitar. Everybody. Elizabeth Gillies is singing. They're playing the soundtrack over it. And I'm jamming. Yeah. My fingers are bleeding. I'm like, I'm doing it. They were so impressed with me. They were like, hey, man.

That was amazing. Like, Bobby, we're just going to roll it, but we're going to let you play. We're going to take all the stuff off, the drums. I was like, let's go, man. Let's do it. So you're playing the drums. I started twirling. Wow. Let me tell you, it was like the Wizard of Oz when they found out there was just a dude behind the curtain. Because they played the music. King, king, king, ding, ding, ding, ding, dum, bum, bum, bum, bum, buddy. They were like, cut, cut. No, we're good, man. We're just going to go where we got. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

How old's your son? My son is 37 now. He's 37 and he's the one that's... Just learning how to play the drums. Holy Lord. You're a nice guy. He's a good man. The one I didn't keep would have been. Sorry, Kristen. Didn't have the time. Wow.

And you had a weird neck. It just went from chin to chest. I didn't like that. You didn't like it? Yeah. I was like, what's that lady from Cheers? The second one, not the blonde. The other one. Her neck. Smoking hot. When she did that movie with Gene Simmons. Later in life. Oh, what was that? Runaway? Yeah, something weird like that. Tom Selleck was in that. Yeah. Now, my son is 11. Here's the problem. My son's 11. Mm-hmm.

He's my height. Oh. Really? Buddy. Wow. Yeah, her weird family, that whatever Dutch, Canadian, Polack, dumpling-eating people they were, they're all big people on her side. Yeah, yeah. Her brothers are all six-something. Her father was six-something. Wow. So this kid, his hands are bigger than mine. Whoa. And 11. He's 11 and...

Yeah, it's a very uncomfortable thing right now because, you know, like, dude, a year ago, I love you. I love you. I love you more. I love you more. I love you more. Yeah. I did it this morning. I was like, hey, man, I love you. He's like, I love you too. All right, I love you more. He's like, cool. And my heart snapped in half. It started. Yeah, he...

He said to me a couple weeks ago, he was coming up the stairs. I go, go downstairs and pick that jacket up or else. And he stepped to me. He went, or what? And I was like, I'm going to beat the crap out of your mother. That's what I'm saying. I'll beat her ass the rest of your life. I'll slap her right now. Is that what you want? I'll go in that room and kick her right in the gut. Honestly, though, there does come that time.

You know, where you realize, you know, where you could take your dad, you know, and it is a bittersweet moment because your father properly should loom large in your, you know. In a fair fight. In a fair fight. Listen, he will beat me in a couple of years in a fair fight. Okay.

In a fair fight. I'm from Boston. Right. All right? Yeah. And Philly knows this too. Oh, yes. It's never going to... I'll have a shovel. It will never be a fair fight. Not a big shovel, but the little... You know those little garden shovels you can buy at CVS? Yeah. Yeah.

I'll have that one around the house and I will whack him up the side of his head. I've never hit my kid, but if he comes at me, I'm going to have to take care of it. Was that both you and your wife agreed on? No spanking? Yeah, no, no. Because I got hit. I got abused. I got punched. I used to have that joke of my act. My first stepdad punched me on a flight of stairs in second grade because I was late. Wow. And now I have this 11-year-old.

And I get it. Yeah, yeah. Like I understand him now. Right. I've been to the point where I'd like to kick this. I want to Spartan kick this kid down a flight of statues. I'm your father! And just see him go through a door. You know what I mean? Yeah. But I just, I don't believe it. How do you control it now? I agree. Well, my therapist says consequences. Yeah.

But I do aggressive masturbation in a sauna with other men. No, I'm kidding. It gets it out. It gets you out. Do you watch The Last of Us? No. All right, so this is the last episode they were talking about. You just try to do a little bit better than your father did. And your father tried to do a little bit better than his father did. And every generation...

A little bit better and maybe you're making a difference. Maybe you're doing a little evolution. I think there's a point where you just have to let go because no matter... You'll do everything and they will just go do what they're going to do. And I think it's instinctual inside of...

Us, at a certain point, I got to go be me. I got to go do my thing now. And it's probably from back in the day. Well, look, you got to go survive. At a certain point, you got to go get your own food. You got to go get your own berries. You got to go have your own family and take care of them. And I think that's just in us at a certain point when it's like, look, I'm doing my thing now, Dad. And the hard part is...

Because it happens so fast, and everybody tells you, it goes by quick, and you don't listen, and all the cute little moments are going to be gone, and you're going to be talking to a dude, and it's going to break your heart. Every night, I still go to bed with my kid when I'm home. And I literally, I read to him, because I know it's coming to an end. And I lie in bed with him, and I'm in bed with him, and he fell asleep, and I turned the light off, I rolled over, and he put his arm around me. Oh.

He pulled me into him. Yeah, you're not going anywhere. And I've never felt joy. No drug, no fame, no money, no woman, anything has ever made me feel that good.

And I literally was like, what is this? And I was like, I realized I never put my arm around a man in my life in love. I've never held a man in love and felt love back. I've never had that. And I rolled over and I put my forehead on his forehead and I was like, Maximus, I'm so proud to be your father and I love you so much. And he was like, Dad, this is gay. This is gay.

I was like. This beautiful moment. I was like, yeah, it's a little gay. And I just rolled over and was sad. I was like, but I got a good one. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, he's not so connected. Like, I'm so emotional because I never had it. He's not because he's had my love his whole life. Yeah. I know you love me, Dad. Yeah.

You've always loved me. So it's a good thing. Yeah. But I felt a little silly because I thought we were going to have this moment. I say you keep doing it. Don't let that ruin it for you. No. I love it. I love the fact that my kid's emotional. I love my... I like my fact he hangs out with jocks. He hangs out with weirdos. Do you... He's dating a weird redheaded girl right now. Oh, really? Yeah. Theater weirdo. And I'm like, good for you, dude. Yeah. Date...

Have a whole circle of friends. Don't stick to one group. You know what I mean? Yeah. Hang out with the theater weirdos, the artists, the musicians, the jocks. I tend to gravitate. I like the people who are unique. I tend to like that a lot. I never did that in high school. I never hung out with a group. I hung out with the project rats. I hung out with the jocks. I hung out with the punks.

I hung out with the artists. I love the artists. What would we have labeled you as in high school? I don't know, man. I was, you couldn't, I was no, I was no group. Yeah. I was no group. You were a free agent. I went, yeah, because I, I don't know. It was weird. I hung out. I used to hang out with every single group in school. Yeah.

I don't know why. You're a floater. Yeah. I was in art class all day with my art teachers love me. I think she wanted to have sex with me. Should have pulled the trigger. Even if I had to do the old guy with her. 30 second sketches. That was my thing too. I was going to be an artist. That was my thing. And it all stemmed on a lie. I was going to art school.

to transfer to Mass College of Art and be an art teacher or something like that. It's all from a second grade Miss Julian who was a mean teacher but loved art. My mother got me a charcoal drawing kit for Christmas. And on there, there was a great thing you can draw. My mother drew it and I helped shadow a little bit. She signed my name to it. And I brought it in to Miss Julian. Yeah.

She lost her mind. Oh, no. Because she had a prodigy. Yeah. Oh, no. Took me around to every class. Yeah. We have a new artist at the Kennedy. The Kennedy. So I'm walking around in every room going, and they're like, how did you, I'm like, you know, texture. Yeah.

You know, gradation. Charcoal. But in my brain, I'm like, I'm an artist. Yeah. So cut to high school, coming out of all this stuff, and now I'm in art class. I start just doing art all the time. And then I got an art scholarship to a community college, and I was supposed to transfer to art school to be this phony artist that I never was, that my mother made me. So it never evolved into you being a decent artist or...

I mean, you wouldn't have gotten a scholarship if you weren't halfway decent. No, it was all right. It was okay. I was not... I was like the drum thing. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, you worked primarily in Great Janes. Is that your medium? Well, what I did, I'm such a piece of garbage. I live with a...

I was sober, you know, getting sober. And I live with my foster father at that time. So me and my mom were fighting too much. And I just couldn't, she still treated me the way she treated me when I was drinking. And it wasn't helping me now that I'm sober and I'm going to meetings. We just couldn't live together. So a counselor of mine who's a foster father took me in from the age of 16 and a half or so to 18. And he got paid whatever.

But he had a basement and I made a studio. I made this awesome suit with a couch, my easel, and all my stuff. Wow. You were into it. I was into it, but I only used it to get chicks. It was my move. Because this was before comedy. I would go, oh, man, I'm such a piece of garbage. But it worked. You mean the classic, Do You Want to See My Etchings? No. Oh.

I would love to draw you. Oh, yeah. That's good. So I'd be like, hey, man, yeah, that's great. Look, I'm an artist. I go to college to be an artist. I would love, I don't know if you're ever into this, but I would love to draw you.

I'm getting wet. I just, I'd be like, because the way, I'm looking at the way the light's hitting your cheekbones and your eye and there's something that glows. I'd love to, if I could capture that with charcoal. Yeah.

That's my medium. So then you look like a doll. I had, if I could find this, if I could find this drawing pad, I would love to see it. It's just, it's a bunch of girls. I mean, I'd be canceled for it now. It was a bunch of girls. It was just them on a couch and

And them with their shirt unbuttoned and then just an areola. You were drawing semi-nudes? I'd be like, let me just undo this loop. And then just like a half a boob and then we just might have made it out and having sex. And that was it. That was the end of the drawing. That was your play. That's not how you met the wife though. No. He met her through. Yeah, that's right. We waited tables together.

She waited at La Familia Giorgio's. She would take my, I wanted nothing to do with her, by the way. She had bangs. By the way, real quick, Robert Kelly, if you're just tuning in, is who we're talking to, is at Parks Casino tonight. The show's at 8 o'clock, just wanted to make sure everybody's aware, and then get their tickets. All right, so continue. Yeah, when I met my wife, it's funny that you meet somebody that is an okay girl, but becomes a beautiful woman. Yeah. There's girls that are beautiful that become, as they get older, you

You know what I mean? Then there's the unicorns from, you know, like Michelle Pfeiffer that's just smoking her life. But there's kind of okay-looking girls. And then when they become women, they become like, oh, my God. And I got one of those. Because when I first met my wife, I mean, she was all right. She had a bang. She had a mole. Really? Oh, risen. It was risen. Yeah.

Were you like my fair lady? Were you responsible for the transformation? Oh, I made her get that off her face. If you're talking about commenting, lightly commenting on it, lightly going, you know, they get those off now. They can, those come right off. They can, hey,

Hey, no, no, no. That looks good. But those, they can take that off. If you ever wanted to get that thing that causes a shadow in your eye off your face, it does come off, but it's up to you. No, seriously, I'd pay half. I mean, if you ever want to get that thing that makes me go, when I think about it, off your face...

Just lightly. You'll pay for it. Yeah, she got it taken off. Thank God. How long into your dating did that thing come off? A week and a half. I may not. No.

How would she describe your transformation from the beginning? Oh, come on, dude. I went from smoking hot to a dumpling. I feel so bad because she became beautiful as she became a woman. After she was a mom, something happens to women when they have kids.

I don't know. For me, I love women. I love that. I love a nice droopy gugug. I like an elbow you can bite and not hurt her. I like a nice couple of few cancer freckles because she used...

you know, some oil back in the 80s instead of sunblock. It turns you on. Oh, I love a nice leather chest with wrinkles. I do. I don't know something about it, but, you know, when she met me, I'm smoking, dude. I'm a new kids on the block. Wow. I'm rocking. Yeah. And then...

The amount of times I've turned into things and she stuck with me is, and that's- That's love. I'll tell you what it is. And I've said this before. Love is not, if you're looking to make love and to hold hands and to have great sex into your 60s, 70s, and 80s, and you know, it's not going to happen.

When you find somebody you love is that you found somebody you're compatible with and you can be together forever. I mean, they did a study at Harvard for like 20 years. Love is compatibility. The only people that stay together for life, they're just compatible. They can be in the same room with each other forever.

for more than a few hours and not want to smash each other in the face with something. Yeah, it makes total sense. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, you have to just let go of good sex. It is, it is. Yeah. And be content together. Just let go of the good sex. Yeah, and that's why old men become gay. Ha ha ha.

They just give up? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I bet if you went into those cruising spots, it's just a bunch of guys going, yeah, she didn't give it to me anymore. I just, this is easier. Yeah, that's my friend Joey. Hey, Joey, say hi. What?

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right. Thank you, Marissa. I didn't check before we went to break. I apologize. What's the word we're supposed to have Kelsey Grammar on right about now? Do we know yet?

I was getting Kenan's stuff ready. I understand. Left with our crew because our crew is going down to get Kenan's ready for our event tonight. Morning in progress. So I'm getting it open right now. You know what though, Marissa? You need to check. It's not our Zoom link, I don't think.

Oh. It's the one that they sent. Great. Okay. All right, work on that. I guess I was just curious of the status. Let me know. Give me a thumbs up or not because we can either go into the bizarre file, but we are planned to have him right about now. So while you're getting that set up, Marissa, you need to... Casey, you need to look at Marissa. Yeah, yeah. All right, so... I'm doing that right now. The big freaking deal, I want to make sure that you are aware of this because this is one of those that we mention every year and it sells out and it's a wild supplies...

deal that you can take advantage of and it's for our friends at Maury's Piers. And by the way, we were talking about the other day as far as

beachfront attractions go. Yes. We had that article the other day. The number one is the Wildwood Boardwalk. It is, yeah. And a lot of that has to do because of Maury's Piers and all the entertainment that you can get. So we have the same day ride and water park combo tickets at Maury's Piers. They're just 70 bucks. So what that'll run you, so you get the, you get the,

regular park and the water park combo, you're going to save $50 per ticket on this deal. So you can't pass this up. And you get unlimited rides on three piers and both water parks for a whole day. So you can make the summer unforgettable at Maury's Piers. And how do you get this?

Simple. Go to WMMR.com slash deals and you will find it there. And like I said, it's a wild supplies last case. You got an update for me or what's going on? Yeah, I just sent her the link. So we're going to, uh, okay. See if we can get along in a moment. All right. So get those. And while we are at, uh, Kenan's tomorrow morning for the live broadcast, um, we'll be giving away some stuff from Maury's. Yes. Really good stuff. Yep. The official opening of the Jersey shore. We have other great prizes. I want to thank again, and we'll mention it tomorrow, but zippies bikes, uh,

They've given us the beach cruisers, his and hers beach cruisers. One of the first things I got, I got a gift from you guys when we decided to get a shore house and you guys got us a beach cruiser and I immediately fell in love. We got rid of...

of our mountain bikes and things like that we had. And we got all... This is much more fun? Cruising bikes that are just for nothing other than seeing the sights and relaxing and enjoying riding around. They are so much fun. So we thank Zippy's. And they're at Pacific and Spicer.

in the heart of Wildwood. So thanks to Scott and the crew over there for setting us up for that. But anybody who attends tomorrow is going to have a chance to win. So we don't have to call you up on stage. You don't have to eat anything or do anything weird. You just enter to win. I mean, you can eat all the weird stuff you want, but you don't have to do it for this. But we will have posters with QR codes splashed all throughout Keenan's. So you can enter through the QR code.

Yep. And so that's tomorrow. And then we're going to have our friends at Stake Em Up have given us some cash to give away. So we will do that. We also have some prize packs courtesy of Mission Impossible. And, of course, we'll be chucking cores all over the place. Yes. Slap koozies. Yes. Yes. So for the first 150 people that get in, we have these slap koozies.

which I didn't know existed. It's a riff on the slap bracelet. Apparently it's a thing, but it's brilliant. And Marissa designed this and it's got our Philadelphia cream cheese Preston and Steve logo.

And we're going to hand those out left to right. So you can use that all weekend down for the Memorial Day weekend. Of course, you'll be having some beverages. You want to keep it nice and cool. Oh, yeah. That'll be a collector's item. You will be. Cozy. Yes. I'd say we'll have varieties of those down the road. I'm guessing. And then please come and join us tonight, me and Nick and Marissa and maybe Frank.

We're going to be at Kenan's from 7 to 9 tonight, and we're giving away VIP passes for tomorrow. Yeah, I would like to come by there. I'm going to see how I'm feeling. I've been a little wiped out, man, the past couple days. It's been an energy suck. I could go by there and grab a beer and relax a little bit and take a look at the room because every year something changes. It does, man. We'll show up and like, oh, where did the ceiling go? Yeah, yeah. Right here.

How many years were we outside? A couple. Was it two? Like three, I think, all together, Nick. Because that first year, I remember clearly being outside. We had a semi-overhang. And then there was one year where it was like we were wide open. Yes. And they had removed things. I want to say it was three years. And I think that's one of the years we did the seven seconds in Kevin. That's right. I counted the years. It was 18 total years because we took a few off. We didn't take them off, but we didn't do them because of the pandemic. So 20, 21, and...

and 21 we didn't go. So this is our 18th because our first one was in 2006. So I think you're right, Preston. I think 06, 07, and 08 we were outside. Yeah. I think we were still represented during COVID. There was one year Brent went. Brent went. Yeah. It was modified. Right. Maybe that first year there was nothing, Steve, because it was 2020, but it's hard to remember. Yeah. All right. Well, it's tomorrow. Yes. It's underway. We're excited. I'm pulling the trigger. We're going to do the bizarre final. All right. I know we're trying to get them on, but here we go. No. Is that?

WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File. All right, brought to you by Coors Banquet. You can start your summer, start your legacy. Coors Banquet. A man in Florida. This is terrible, Steve. And this is tailor-made for one of your comments. Yeah. But it's terrible. A Florida man has been arrested for shooting his neighbor's cow five times after it wandered onto his property. Oh, my God.

What an utter catastrophe. I know, I know. What an utter catastrophe. But this is terrible. It is so horrible. I love cows. It happened in North Fort Myers. Members of the Sheriff's Office Agriculture Unit responded to a call from a ranch regarding reports of animal cruelty. What's this guy's beef? The...

The police said deputies were informed that a victim located his two-year-old calf on the neighbor's property with five gunshot wounds to the gut, chest, and rear leg. This guy doesn't have any feelings. Due to the...

calf's injuries, a veterinarian determined that the calf needed to be euthanized. The cow's owner stated the neighbor, 54-year-old Hung Trinh, had been angry in the past about livestock jumping the fence and threatened to shoot the animals.

Detectives ended up obtaining a search warrant and were able to locate the .22 caliber gun allegedly used in the shooting in a shed on Trin's property. I think the approach is to go to the farmer or the owner of the cow. You don't whack the cow. Yeah, yeah. Trin was charged with animal cruelty and grand theft of a commercial farm animal.

A Hawaiian Airlines flight from San Diego to Honolulu was grounded yesterday because of a bomb threat. John Stay, a Navy electronics technician, first class, is facing state and federal charges of making false bomb threats and faces up to a year behind bars if convicted. San Diego Harbor Police said that he told a flight attendant...

The passenger next to him had a bomb. Let me be clear on this. It's three ounces of shampoo or less and no bomb threats, right? Yeah, those are the rules. So that forced the flight to be grounded for several hours before takeoff. I don't know why the guy said it. So police... This is a bomb threat kind of day. SWAT officers and the FBI approached and they searched the aircraft and all 293 passengers and crew were evacuated on the tarmac and...

And there was nothing suspicious found. I don't know if the guy was making a joke or what. Bad joke. You don't do that on a plane ever. All right. It's a very short, bizarre file because our guest is indeed ready to go. So we are going to talk to him. He has got a book out. It's called Karen, A Brother Remembers.

tragic story. Powerful. Absolutely. And a very personal story to be told because it goes back to 1975. So we are going to welcome this morning. You know him from loads of things throughout the years. Mr. Kelsey Grammer. Kelsey, good morning to you.

Hi, guys. How are you? We're doing okay. Kelsey, obviously, this is a story that I was familiar with, have heard about, you know, when referring or learning about you as an actor and in your personal life. But obviously, it takes a lot to bring this story and put a pen to paper and tell it. Had you been wrestling with the idea of writing a book like this for a long time? Actually, no. I was actually just wrestling with...

the event in my life and how it sort of resonated throughout my days. I didn't think about writing about it until about three years ago when someone instructed me, a medium instructed me, he said, Karen wants you to tell her story. Go ahead. Yeah, then I started thinking about how I might do that. I started to jot down some notes and

I wrote about 10 pages of ideas and then I realized, oh, I think I'm writing a book. You know what's... I watched the Diane Sawyer interview. I watched other interviews. I've read interviews. I cannot help but tear up every time. It's such a powerful story. And in as much, it's also a beautiful thing because your sister, who you adored more than anything, you were older to her, but you've said that you felt that in many ways she was...

guiding you. She was robbed of her life at this age with this brutal act. And so you have given her, you know, through this effort, the ability to let other people find out about her. You let her live on past this. And as you're seeing the fruits of your labors play out, it's got to be incredibly gratifying.

It's wonderful. Every time I get a message from a friend or a text saying, I've just read the book, I know your sister Karen. I mean, it's just great to see her name written with people alive today bringing her back to life. It's been really gratifying that way. And it's been helpful. People have said it's helped them. But for me, it was actually just to try to remember that we had so much joy when we were kids and to just...

take that as the major thing in my life. Sadly, so many people deal with losing people to violence this way, and you are very candid about you actually, for the first time, kind of scoured the police report, found out the nuance that had been elusive to you prior to this, whether by omission or your choice not to really take a deep dive. But I think in doing so, did you wrestle with being as

as graphic as you are, because I think to really understand how it can just rock someone's life, you know, the survivors, I think you need to get the context of this. Was this a tough decision to make to... Yeah, how far to go that was important, I actually backed off of some of it, but what I left in is pretty graphic. I didn't actually include the police report, but...

It was important to me that all the people who have suffered similar tragedies or whose loved ones have been taken in the same way or at least similar ways that are horrible and impossible to understand. Sometimes I needed to earn their respect in some way. Yeah. Understand that there's a sort of credibility of suffering that we that we share and that that then would be my like my credential for.

to offer this advice, which is to try to revive the beauty that you knew with these people at the same time as the grief will never go away.

hopefully they'll face one another and one will be as strong as the other. Forever. She was the victim of a crime spree, essentially. She was waiting in the parking lot of the business where she worked, I think a fast food restaurant. And these men abducted her. They stabbed her multiple times. They violated her sexually and all took turns on this. And then you, as

You being the survivor have had to carry this imagery and this in your mind and all the way. I think we are so, if we can't see a bandage or a cast or something that's tangible, it's hard for people to process how they can set the survivors' lives in all sorts of horrific ways. And it's something we just have to get better with.

Right. You just, you abide with it. You have your, you have an obligation to live your life, no matter what happens to those you've loved. I mean, that's, you can either decide to jump off, to step off if you really want to, but I don't recommend that. I don't recommend turning away from God either, which I did do.

It doesn't mean we live in a faithless world or that there isn't a better power or a higher power that actually still fights for good. But in these circumstances, it seems so overwhelmingly evil and that our family has been taken by it. There is a guilt that comes along for the ride that I should have done something. Yes. I should have stopped it. And I think a lot of people suffer that, even though we all know it's irrational to hold on to that. But everyone that's been through this...

does speak candidly about this fact that they felt guilty for it themselves. Well, you saw, you know, unbelievable evil, and yet you say through the writing of the book you were reintroduced to the kindness and the wonderful nature of the human spirit as well.

Yes, yes. And that's that is I think that's why I took the trip and did the writing. And I did want to tell my sister's story because I wanted people to know how great a girl she was. Yeah, no, it's a wonderful thing to do. And again, I have not read the book yet, but I've read the reviews are fantastic. And it's definitely I think I can speak to a lot of people who may be going through similar things.

Yeah, that's my hope. Kelsey, we started this interview late. I apologize for that. So we're going to have to wrap it up here in a second. But I wanted to ask because tomorrow we're doing our show live from the Jersey Shore in Wildwood. And it has been brought to my attention that

for some reason or another you end up in wildwood every summer and uh how or why is that because we're going to be at keenan's and apparently you end up at keenan's every year i've been there as well yeah no i'm a beer guy now i started a beer company last decade but uh i've i've uh it has actually started to take hold a bit certainly along the jersey shore faith american brewing company and we have several flavors some of them are featured down in the at the shore these days and uh

We are enjoying a kind of a slowly expanding business, which I'm very happy about. I believe that Faith American will become America's beer of choice one beer at a time in the next decade. Yes. I'm proud of seeing Modelo be the number one beer. I'm fighting the good fight. I grew up in Jersey, so...

As a boy, I left Jersey when I was 12, but I still remember it beautifully. I love the shore. Nice. We'll be there tomorrow. We'll look for the beer. Celebrate a bit. Kelsey, thanks for joining us. Good luck with the book, Karen, A Brother Remembers. Thank you for joining us. Kelsey Grammer, guys, on the show. I didn't know he was a Jersey guy.

Yeah, and I didn't know why. Okay, so I didn't know he had that venture. Yeah, there you go. You learn stuff. You learn stuff. Is what happens. All right, with that, on that note, we are going to take a break. When we get back, we'll have a chance to win something. I have something I'm going to do with music news that I'm a little bit excited about. Really? Is that what the hand lotion's for? Mainly for you, Steve. It's a piece of music. Oh. We'll come back in a moment. We'll get to all of it. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

Sonic on 93.3 WMMR. Everything rocks. You can only see. It's 1025. That's the radio program.

Our coolest teacher winner today was Jesse Willing of the Shipley School. Miss Willing is a science teacher. We have not been promoting another school because we're going to hold off on drawing one. We found by trial and error that announcing the coolest teacher at the Kenan's Live broadcast is not ideal. The crowd is not there for that type of announcement. They're not. And so therefore, we will wait.

And we will draw another school when we get back on Tuesday because we're off on Monday. Obviously, it's Memorial Day, so we get a day off. And then we will return back to that as we are heading to full-on graduation territory. The proms just happened recently. It's amazing. And now graduation is on the cusp. And some of us have our, well, me and Nick and Casey all have seniors graduating. Yeah.

Wild, man. Insane. I've homeschooled our cats. Yeah? So, yeah, we don't have that. No. Yeah. Yeah, it's starting to get emotional. Oh, yeah? Yeah, because, yeah, he's done, like, next week, and he graduates next Sunday. Wow. The first whatever. And so the school put this video out yesterday, this reel.

It was just so great. I watched it and I just got so teared up. I know. I know that type of thing happens. He said it wasn't great. All right. Here we go with the last in question. We're going to give away a $50 Amazon gift card courtesy of Adam Home Services. If you can answer this question, who is in charge of the popcorn division in the military? Remember, he gets it done in a jiffy.

All right, who is that? Who is in charge of the popcorn division in the military? 610-660-9333, our number. Call right now if you know that answer. While you call, we will get into the trash. The trash business is a gold mine. 93.3 WMMR.

With Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. And our trash this morning is brought to you by Rita's. And Rita's is making waves with a fin-tastic new flavor. Kool-Aid Sharkleberry Fin Ice. It's a delicious blend of orange, strawberry, and banana. But you gotta hurry because it's only here for a limited time. Be cool. Eat cool.

What's going on this morning, Steve? Well, more on this story. Brittany Furlan finally clarifying the status of her marriage to Tommy Lee, saying they are split up, but both would like to work on their relationship. Furlan says one thing's for sure, that no matter where she is, she probably can still see Tommy's penis. Oh, my God.

Only fan star Annie Knight was hospitalized after having sex with 583 men in six hours. Knight says before you label her a whore, you need to understand she was in love. And finally, a former employee of Diddy named George Kaplan testifying it was his job to set up the candles, lube and baby oil before Diddy's sex orgy freakouts.

However, Kaplan says the most difficult part of the whole job was getting everyone's lunch orders. Oh, yeah. All righty, we're looking for an answer to the question, who's in charge of the popcorn division of the military? And we are going to go to Angel and see if we can find out. Hi, Angel, you are on the air. Good morning. Good morning, fire rose. Fire rose. All right, Angel, who is in charge of the popcorn division of the military?

That would be Colonel Colonel. Colonel Colonel. Yes.

Spot on, bud. Hold on a moment. We're going to set you over to $50 Amazon gift card, courtesy of Adam Home Services. You can call Adam Home Services today. Schedule your $49 AC tune-up, and they'll even waive the dispatch fee for all your AC heating, plumbing, electrical, and sewer services at the right price. Visit adamhomeservices.com. Preston and Steve's Music News.

on 93.3 WMMR. Nothing? Oh, wait, no. Yeah, everything's... Oh, no, no, no, no. Try it now. Yeah! Alright, I have the Zoom

thingy up and sound effect thingy down. That's what it was. We have a lot of thingies to contend with. Dude, you should see the array of thingies in front of me. It's insane. Alright, so Judas Priest will be the focus of a career-spanning documentary co-directed by... I didn't mention this? I don't think you did. Alright, Muse News brought to you by Sequoia Outback. Oh, we love them. You can score major savings with their annual Memorial Day sale, Route 309 at halffield or decksupplies.com. Okay. Thank you.

Just to give a little bit. Yeah. Just in case the first didn't take. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. One more time. Just the... Thank you. Judas Priest will be the focus of a career-spanning documentary co-directed by Tom Morello. Ah. Rage Against the Machine guitarist will make his directorial debut with The Ballad of Judas Priest.

which will arrive later this year via Sony Music Vision. Sam Dunn will serve as the other co-director on the film, which, like the band, borrows its name from Bob Dylan's song The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest.

I did not know that. Neither did I. I did not know that. So the band said in a joint statement, we have lived and breathed metal for over five decades. And finally, in this documentary, we are summoning our congregation to officially witness our lives uncensored in a never-before-seen way. The cassock comes off.

revealing Priest in all its metal glory. The Ballad of Judas Priest will trace the heavy metal band's half-century legacy from their roots in Birmingham, England, to their climb to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the arrival of 2024's Invincible Shield, Judas Priest became the first metal act to release albums

50 years apart. That's amazing. As their debut LP, Rockarola, was unleashed in 1974. The band has put out 19 studio albums in that span. Morello and Dunn added in a statement, while some may know Judas Priest for the huge hits that have shaped the heavy metal genre, there is so much more to their story. It creates an incredible 50-year journey.

This film will capture how Judas Priest both defines the sound and look of metal, but also made it more an inclusive place along the way. We are grateful to the band for allowing us such intimate, unfiltered access to their lives and look forward to bringing this film to the metal masses around the world.

The 2026 Ship Rocked Cruise, sailing from Miami to the Bahamas on January 25th through the 31st, will feature top rock bands like Aelstorm. Oh, that's awesome. Motionless in white and Knocked Loose. The Carnival Horizon will stop at Half Moon Cay, Celebration Key, and Nassau. Other bands planned on board include Wage War, AWOL Nation, Suicidal Tendencies, and Kitty.

With over 25 acts total, Hailstorm will perform a special show on the final night before leaving Nassau. And fans can enjoy live band karaoke, a dodgeball tournament, and other fun cruise activities. It's nearly sold out, but there are some cabins that are still available. The American Music Awards are set for this coming Monday. We already know all the performers, including...

Benson Boone, Renee Rapp, Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Gloria Estefan, Rod Stewart, and the host Jennifer Lopez. And then we know who is set to actually present the award. So Alex Earle, Cara Delevingne, Ciara, Dan and Shay, Dylan Efron, Jordan Childs, Kai Sennett.

Megan Maroney, Nikki Glaser, Shaboosie, Tiffany Haddish, and Wayne Brady. The big night kicks off May 26th. Quite an honor to be presenting with you, Shaboosie. On CBS and Paramount Plus as well. All right, and then I have a little treat for you. Oh, boy. I'm so glad I saw this Instagram video yesterday because...

It reminded me of something that I hadn't thought about in a long time. Steve, I'm going to play a piece of music for you, and specifically you, because Nick, you might not. I don't know. All right. I want to see if you can identify what TV show this end theme is from, and then I'm going to tell you a little story about it. So it's a closing credit. Closing credits. But I'd totally forgotten about this. All right. So let me play this for you. All right.

You know what?

Well, Steve, you know it. Let me see. Nick, do you have any idea what it is? It's got to be... I don't know. You have a connection to it. Is it Welcome Back, Otter? It is not. Is it the... Steve? WKRP in Cincinnati. WKRP in Cincinnati. And of course, you met Howard Hesman one time. He was a dick to you. Yes, yes. But the interesting thing that I saw on this Instagram video was...

I remember growing up as a kid and I always thought that that was the coolest part of that show. It's just a cool rocking little thing. Closing credits. Closing music. You hardly ever have that. Yeah. And so what this guy was telling the story of was for production purposes and for theme songs and things like that, they would hire groups of studio musicians to come up with music for this stuff. Right, right.

They were coming down to the wire when this show was going to be debuting, and they didn't have a closing credit theme. And the band happened to be at the studio, and they came in, and they're like, look, you guys got to whip something up. So they came up with the song, and lyrically, whoever the singer is, decided to just put in what they call scratch vocals. So they had no lyrics to the song. That's pretty wild. And he is literally...

doing gibberish. It's like Yellow Leadbetter. So if you listen to it, these aren't words. You'll hear like a said or something like that, just a little filler, but the rest of it is the guy just making stuff up. They heard it. They were down to the wire. The producers heard it and they go,

That's it. We love it. And they're like, hang on. We haven't written any words for this yet. There's no words on it. There's no words on it. And they said, no, we love it. We're going to keep it as is. And so I'll play it back and listen to this and see if we can identify any words at all. Get up. Get up. Get up.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it was a great show.

All right. That's it of music news. We will take a break. We'll come back in a second. When we return, we wrap up the program. Stay with us. 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.
