Please go away. Let me sleep for the

You're listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. 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. Yeah!

It begins, it begins, it begins. We welcome, friend. It's the start of work week, but it's a Tuesday, so we got a leg up. Isn't that nice? Let us take a look at the weather forecast. Speaking of nice, wonderful, a lot like yesterday.

Just a gorgeous day. I don't know why your mic's not on, Steve. No problem. There we go. Gorgeous day. High of about 75 degrees. Cloudy skies are calling for it, but if we get what we have right about now, it's not going to be too bad. Tomorrow, though, we have a change. Cooler temperatures. We're going to top out close to 60 degrees. There is rain in the forecast. We have no moisture in the forecast on Thursday. High of 76, but then rain returning Friday, possibly Saturday as well. So keeping an eye on things for you there. Hello.

Kristen and Steve's News Update.

That day is Tuesday, May 27th. Good morning. We'll start with this story. Two people are dead and nine others were wounded after a mass shooting in Fairmount Park late last night. Victims killed include an adult man and an adult woman, according to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. Three teenagers between 15 and 17 years old are also among the wounded, and the other eight victims are adults. The gunfire erupted around 1030 on Lemon Hill Drive at Poplar Drive.

And multiple rounds were fired. Police are working to determine if several different weapons were involved. At this point, no one is in custody. No weapons have been recovered. Bethel says that there's usually a lot of people in the park when it gets warm, especially on a holiday. And the police officers had been managing crowds all over the city. The area of Fairmont Park, just off of Kelly Drive and North Boathouse Road, is a popular spot for cookouts.

An invasive tick is swarming southeastern Pennsylvania, and researchers say that the Asian longhorned tick is spreading rapidly. Asian longhorned ticks were first discovered in the U.S. in 2017 on a New Jersey sheep farm north of Philadelphia. And since then, the invasive ticks have spread to 22 states.

Over the past five years, longhorn tick numbers have spiked by around 150%, becoming the second most common tick in Pennsylvania. And one of the reasons that they've managed to spread so quickly is that they are parthenogenetic, which means females are capable of reproducing asexually without the aid of male ticks.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, a single individual female that lays around 2,000 to 2,500 eggs all without mating can create an entire population just by that individual. So what is the disease risk? Like, you know, Rocky, what is it? They have Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. They are part of the pathogens that can affect human health. Yippee! Yep, so they do have the ability to carry those.

They've also been found to affect domestic animals like dogs and can pose significant threats to livestock like cattle. So watch out. Are you pretty cautious if you've been out hiking or whatever into the park and you're going out or doing yard work? Do you check for ticks? Absolutely. Yeah, I do all the time. I take a look, but...

They're sneaky bastards. They are. They get you sometimes. There are times when I've not done what I would consider to be risky behavior, and then I'll feel like something in my neck or whatever. I'm like, that's a freaking tick crawling up. How dare you, sir? And then you interrogate it. Yeah. No, I can't stand those things, man. Hate them, hate them, hate them. I haven't had one embedded in me in a long time, but I find them crawling on me several times in the summer for sure. Oh, yeah.

All right, starting yesterday, Philadelphia's Department of Parks and Rec has opened more than 70 spray grounds for the summer, offering Philly families free ways to cool off. Locations include splash pads, spray grounds, and misting areas within many neighborhoods. Steve, I know you're not a big fan of community pools, but what about misting areas like this? Totally down with them. Totally down with them. In fact, you know, Preston, you were to Strasburg and cities in Europe. It's quite common in major cities.

for them to be these misting ports. And they're wonderful. At community spots like Seeger Park and Heron Playground, modern spray equipment has replaced the old wading pools. All of the city's sites are scheduled to be fully open by this Friday and will remain open through Labor Day. Since 1911, the Bureau of Recreation has worked to allow residents of Philadelphia to use its public spaces, and they made water features a key part of neighborhood parks.

which inspired other cities across the country to have similar programs. Every location has different spray patterns and kid-friendly equipment, making them great for families and workers at the spray grounds to keep everything clean daily. So we have a couple of misting fans we use in the backyard. Those suckers bring down the temperature really wonderful. And all water is carefully treated and checked to meet health standards, by the way. All right, in sports this morning. What? What? What is that about you?

The Phillies saw their nine-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday afternoon in Sacramento against the A's.

At 34-19, however, the Phillies still have the best record in Major League Baseball. They open up a three-game series at home tonight against the Atlanta Braves. Ranger Suarez will get the start of the first pitch. It's scheduled for 645. In the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Timberwolves, winning 128-126.

Last night in Minnesota, the Thunder now lead the series three games to one and can advance to the NBA Finals if they win game five tomorrow night back in OKC. Hip-hop will be at 830. In the NHL, the Carolina Hurricanes stayed alive, shutting out the Panthers 3-0 last night in South Florida to avoid elimination. The Panthers lead that series 3-1. Game five is tomorrow night in Raleigh. The puck will drop at 8 o'clock. The Union played to a 3-3 draw against Lionel Messi and Inter-Miami CF.

on Saturday night at Subaru Park. The Union are in first place in the Eastern Conference.

With nine wins and 30 points, they travel to Canada tomorrow night for a match against Toronto FC. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs. And that's what I have for you in sports this morning. All right, thank you very much, Mr. McWane. Welcome, friends, back from a holiday weekend. Hopefully it was a safe and enjoyable and fruitful and whatever great adjectives or descriptors you can think of. Yeah, I think you hit them all. We are happy to be back with you today after our...

Amazing morning at Kenan's Irish Pub to kick off the weekend. We'll have to relive some of that later on. Yeah, it was great. It really was. We have a new Word of the Week prize this weekend. It is a show and a stay. We're going to give you a pair of tickets to see Stained at the Hard Rock live at Edis Arena and AC. And it's going to be Friday, September 19th. We'll set you up with an overnight stay at the Hard Rock as well, which is going to be pretty awesome tickets for the show.

We will give away the prize. Pretty cool thing. So we need to... Now, we took a little break, you remember, last week. Yes. For coolest teacher of the year because of the holiday weekend and Keenan's and the craziness. So we are now ready to reset that. Who's going to draw?

All we have to do is draw, right? I think it's Casey, right? So we're not announcing a teacher. We are actually just drawing a school. And we kind of reset today. We don't have a whole lot of time left because kids are graduating very, very soon. Right, yeah. All right, so Case is reaching into the jar. He stirred it up real good. Yeah. Yeah.

I kind of have a problem with that. I can't just dip my hand into a giant crab. I've got to mix it up a little bit first. You ought to be fair. Swirl it around like the kid that was mixing the Kool-Aid at Christmas or a family vacation. You're damn straight. Go hella deep. We're in Pennsylvania. We're in Chester County. We're going to go to Henderson High School in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Henderson High School in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

I'm going to tell you what you need to do. It's pretty simple. You just have to text the word teacher. Not the teacher's name. The word teacher to 610-660-9333.

And we will send you the voting link and then you take care of the rest. So we'll give you roughly 24 hours to do it. If you go to school at Henderson, please, please, please let them know and they'll help get the word out amongst the students. And then we'll have an accurate representation of teachers and votes and all that tomorrow morning. And then we will present the award to whomever at Henderson is deemed the coolest and we will give them...

The official presidency of coffee mug and also a $50 gift card from our friends at Dunkin' who are the fine sponsors of this. So, Henderson.

It's up to you. Please let us know. We're excited to find out who you think the coolest was. And while you're in the texting mood, don't forget today is Tattoo Day. So we have your chance to win. No, it's not texting. Eventually in a year or so, I'll figure it out. You can go to WMMR.com. You can go to the contest page and get set up. It's all laid out for you right there. That's how you do it. So it's a $350 gift certificate for Floating World Tattoo and Piercing 1729 South Street in Philadelphia.

Fire that sucker up right about now. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. The Entertainment Report is loaded with stuff. The AMAs were last night, so we'll give you a brief rundown of that stuff and see what else we can get into. We'll be back in just a moment. Stay with us.

Anyway, here's the question that I have for you this morning.

And I tried this out on my friend Will over the weekend. And he got it right. So I'm going to try this out on you.

How many orange whips and how many meatball sandwiches? All right. 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know the answer. It's a combo question. Two different, yes, two different sources. Let's see if you know the answer. How many orange whips and how many meatball sandwiches? All right. 610-660-9333. Call now if you know the answer. I'll go through some birthdays today being the 27th day of May, March.

We'll start with Paul Bettany. He turns a year older at 54 years old today. Fantastic is the vision. Oh, so good. Awaiting for the next series to feature the vision. And yeah, he was terrific. He put a lot of heart to WandaVision and just in general. Great performance. We had the coolest moment with him in the very beginning of his career. He had stopped by. We were working at Y100. We were doing a promotion interview.

called Survive Survivor where it's the key off of the TV show Survivor. We have people living in an RV in front of our studios and we made them eat disgusting things and do stupid stuff like the show did and Paul Bettany was an in-studio visitor. Yes. And

he saw what we were doing to these people and I'll never forget it. He told us this was all fair. He goes, you people are effing mad. You're all effing mad. He could not have been nicer, but I remember him saying that. He was like, what the hell's going on? It was so cool. Steve, according to IMDb, the Vision Quest, which is in that series, is supposed to come out next year. So Disney Plus and Marvel have announced that. We'll see when that actually comes out, but it's supposed to come out in 2026. Nice.

Paul Bettany's 54 today. Todd Bridges, of course, you remember from different strokes. Yes, a storied past. Yeah, he got himself into trouble on more than one occasion. But he is hitting a milestone today at 60 years old. 60 years old. For the past...

At least that I can remember. Things have been pretty calm. He's been pretty good. Yeah, I've heard. I mean, there was a time where things were looking like he was going to go away for murder. Yeah, he was getting arrested on a fairly regular basis. It was wild. So happy 60th at the top, Bridges. Joseph Fiennes turns a year older.

Had a big hit in Shakespeare in Love and Handmaid's Tale. He's in the first few seasons of that. Plays a major character in that show. He's not in the newest stuff? No. Spoiler alert. Sadly, his character arc came to an end a little while back. All right. We'll figure it out. Not sadly because he was a douchebag. Okay. But he is 55 today. Perry Gilpin from Frasier. Roz was her character, right? And her father was... Yeah.

He's great. 30 Rock, forgetting Sarah Marshall, Wreck-It Ralph. He turns 52 years old today. Yeah, he's great. Richard Schiff, one of the regulars on the West Wing. If you know that, you know him. He turns 70. It's a big birthday for him. Do I know him? Yeah, you know him. Richard. Balding on top, beard, mustache. You would definitely... Yep, I know that dude. And then last birthday is Naked Chef Jamie Oliver.

And he was a new Food Network star. He had a pretty popular series where he's going around to schools and stuff. That was one of his main focuses. And then nothing. Gone. Over. Turns 50 years old today. So happy birthday to all. All right. So not many people calling in for the answer to the stupid question. This is a tough one. How many orange whips? How many meatball sandwiches? I need to know the answer to both. So am I going to line one here? Yeah. Yeah.

That's what I'm going to. All right, let me go to Jeannie, I believe is her name. Let's see if I have this up and running. Hi, Jeannie, good morning to you. Good morning. All right, Jeannie. Oh, hold on. You got to go. Jeannie, how many orange whips and how many meatball sandwiches? Three orange whips. And how many meatball sandwiches?

Four or five. No. You can't guess. You need to know the answer to both of them. Stick a try. All right. It's all good. But thank you. I appreciate it. Four or five. Under 10. How hungry are you? Hang on. Let me go to Pete. Hey, Pete, how you doing? I'm good. How are you doing? Good. All right, Pete, how many orange whips and how many meatball sandwiches? I'm going to have to say three orange whips.

In Blues Brothers and Two Meatball Sandwiches, I don't remember the movie. We don't need to know. We just need to know the answer. That's right. It's Point Break, by the way. So three orange whips from the Blues Brothers, two meatball sandwiches from Point Break.

And Pete has got it right. So, Pete, hang on a second here. And we are going to get your information, my man. Hold on a second here. And we are going to set you up with a pair of Moody's Piers Same Day Ride and Waterpark Combo tickets. And I don't know if I'm going to read the rest of this.

Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning, debuted in second place. It made $77 million, giving it the best opening weekend of the Mission Impossible series.

Final Destination Bloodlines slipped to third place with 24.5 mil. I'm routing out the top five with Thunderbolts in fourth with 11.6 and Thinners in fifth place with $11.2 million over the holiday weekend. That feels like when you used to go to the movies and there'd be multiple options. Okay, this is sold out, but I have something to see. It seems like it's back to that now. Ah.

Ah, seems like it. All right, the American Music Awards were yesterday hosted by J-Lo. The night was jam-packed with big moments and big performances. While Kendrick Lamar led the nominations with 10, he only walked away with one award for a favorite hip-hop song. But Billie Eilish, she was a big winner, and I'll run down some of the lists here in a moment. Taylor Swift was up for six nominations. She ended up walking away with...

Nothing. Nothing. Despite empty-handed, she still holds the record for the most wins in the American Music Awards history with 40. She didn't make the big night, of course, because she wasn't going to win anything. So one of the things I kept mentioning, and to be honest, I completely forgot that it was on, that your biggies like Beyonce and Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift, they weren't in attendance for the event. They kind of had to scramble. But Janet Jackson was. She sure was. We got a clip. She won the Icon Award. My story.

My family's story. It's truly an American story. This would have only happened in America. Janet's the icon. I don't think I want to see it. They've only handed out a few of those. Yeah, it's true. And then Rod Stewart won, what was it, Lifetime Achievement Award? Lifetime Achievement. All right, here's a clip of him. When I started singing in the early 60s, well before all of you lot were here, I was

The reason I got into it was because I had this burning ambition to sing. That's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous. And here I am a few years later picking up this wonderful award. Thank you so much. By the way...

His performance, really good. At his age, he's still putting out. I love Rod Stewart. He really melts my butter. He does melt your butter. I had the chance to see him a long time ago, like 30 years ago in concert. It was outstanding. I love hearing that. Just the best. And yes, you're right, Steve. Dude's still got it. So good on him. So as far as the award winners, and I'll just hit some of the big awards, and then I'll hit the Rock Awards, which is...

You know, very lightly represented. That's pretty quick. Artist of the Year, Billie Eilish. New Artist of the Year, Gracie Abrams. Album of the Year, Billie Eilish with Hit Me Hard and Soft. And Song of the Year, Billie Eilish for Birds of a Feather. She won seven awards. She won everything she was nominated for, from what I understand. Favorite Male Pop Artist went to Bruno Mars. Favorite Female Pop Artist went to Billie Eilish. Favorite Pop Album went to Billie Eilish. Favorite Pop Song went to Billie Eilish.

And favorite rock artist. There are two categories here. Favorite rock artist. No, there are three. 21 Pilots was the winner of that. Favorite rock album, 21 Pilots with Clancy. And favorite rock song actually went to Linkin Park, The Emptiness Machine. Which I was happy about because I really like that song a lot. So, yeah, AMAs. There you go. In the books. All kinds of awards. You can go look it up if you want to know all the details if you missed it last night.

I have some other entertainment stories to pass along. In a candid interview with Hollywood Authentic, Barry Keegan revealed he's been battling with addiction. He said, I'm not in denial anymore. I understand that I do have an addiction and that I am an addict. The actor also reflected on his family's history with substance abuse sharing, I've lost two uncles and a cousin to drugs.

And both of his parents died from related struggles as well. It's tough when it's in your family like that. Despite becoming a father in 2022, he admitted that his curiosity about drugs persisted. He said, even my own son coming into this world didn't stop me from being curious. And he attributed...

some of the drug use to the pressures of Hollywood saying you go to LA, there's an enormous amount of pressure. And now in recovery, he said, I'm accepting, I'm present, I'm content, I'm a father. And he also expressed remorse adding, I apologize to mainly myself, uh,

for all the pain I've... I apologize. Thank you. There it is. Did he apologize to anybody else? I'd like to apologize to Jennifer Garner and her pool boy, Ben Affleck, for incorporating them into my fantasy life. Yes. I apologize to anyone who's been offended by my fictional creations, Chris-a-gon...

the philosopher of evil and the skull sealer. Listen, he and everybody. Wasn't he involved with Sabrina Carpenter? Weren't they an item for a long time? Oh, I don't know. Maybe. I thought that was the case. And so I'm wondering if his addiction caused or at least led in some way to the breakup. Because, you know, I live and die by this stuff. Can you guys guess who I get him mixed up with?

You know what? I hope you can help me because he reminds me of somebody else and I can't quite put my finger on it. The Flash? Yeah. Ezra Miller. When I see a photo of them, I'm like...

Unless I see the name, I don't know which one that is because they just have a similar vibe and look about them. And I will not know unless I see the name nearby. I think you're right. He's gone radio silent, Ezra Miller. Yeah. So anyhow, he said that he's put himself and a lot of other people through. And he's apologizing for Christ's sake.

Jordan Hudson, girlfriend of Bill Belichick, is fueling engagement rumors once again. This time it's thanks to a trip through the Raleigh-Durham Airport. Photos of Hudson over the weekend. I want a ring and I want it from the Raleigh-Durham Airport. Show the former cheerleader sporting what looked like a diamond ring on her left hand, of course.

While waiting for her flight. And the ring has also made an appearance at an NYC museum luncheon and dinner outing in April. Look, girlies, guess who's marrying a corpse? Adding more fuel to the flames. The New York Times reports that Hudson has told at least one person that she and Belichick are engaged. And let's not forget the recently updated name of Belichick's boat. Remember, it's now called One Plus Eight Rings.

And so far, neither have confirmed anything. Statutory is the name of the boat. But Hudson has a habit of wearing a ring on her, it says left index finger, but that's not where you wear your wedding ring. But anyhow, back in February, she sparked engagement rumors with an Instagram pic celebrating her and Bill's meat-versity date.

Meatversary. Sorry, not Meatversity. That's where you go to learn about meat. Welcome to Meatversity. She wore an impressive ring alongside Bill's championship ring. This class will focus entirely on London broil. So they continue to have people talking about

Potentially. Do you think that's going to happen? Yes. Yeah, you think they are going to get married? Absolutely. Okay. I think that now he's invested and he's got something to prove as well in that, hey, I'll do what I want to do. And this, you know, we are a couple and she loves me because of who I am. I just write my ass on another guy's leg. I'm going to do whatever I want. Yep. Jessica Alba appears to have moved on from ex-husband Cash Warren and she was seen spending time with a mystery man in London's Regent Park.

seemingly trying to stay low-key, she was photographed holding hands and kissing with the man during what Onlooker called a very intimate outing.

The sighting comes five months after Alba and Warren separated following nearly 17 years of marriage. In a post to Instagram earlier this year, Alba said, it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals. Do people really say that? Chapter, yeah. She emphasized that their children remain our highest priority and asked for privacy. How many times have you turned to Rochelle on any particular morning and said, today I'm going to embark on a new journey? On a new chapter of my journey. Yes.

Who says that? Who talks that way? I know. It's a social media talk. All right, this is another. All these people are looking to hook up or to meet up with people. And for the first time in a long time, Heather Locklear is single. I hope she's doing better. She had some breaks with reality. Yeah, she had a split from her fiance, Chris Heiser. And sources close to the couple maintain that it was a quiet split with no drama. I hate you. With things just having run their course. I hate you.

Us Magazine quotes one source saying, Heather and Chris are no longer together. Heather is single. She's ready to date again. The couple briefly dated in high school in the 70s, actually. And they reunited in 2017 after getting engaged in 2020. Obviously, you're happily married. Yeah. Do you think if... I mean, and I don't want to get in trouble, but...

Was there anybody you dated in high school who you wonder, hmm, I wonder if... If that could have worked out. If this could have worked out. Yeah, there's a couple people. I'm just curious if, you know, and I think it's natural to think about that type of thing. How would that have worked? How would my life be different? Would that type of thing have worked out? I wonder what life would have been like. It's not saying you want to replace it, but it's a general curiosity. But sure, yeah. How about you? You know what?

They ended up being friends, but we, no, it was not meant to be long term. Yeah, I know, but what would it have been like? What would it have been like? It wouldn't have been good. You ever think about that? All right. Chrissy Teigen freaked out fans and followers last week when she posted an Instagram live video of her in a hospital bed with her entire head bandaged up.

And despite the alarming visual, the model was smiling, but people were still confused. And seeing the reaction, she jumped on Instagram stories to set things straight. She said, a lot of you are wondering about my hospital pic, which is very understandable as I gave no explanation. And she said, I had a hairline lowering procedure. Wow.

Lost a lot in the front from babies, and it's just very thin up there. I've heard that, so maybe you guys can echo this, that after childbirth, it's not uncommon for women to thin hair-wise. But even like, what's weird is I think they, during pregnancy, can get thicker. Is that right? In the hair, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Steve, I've never looked into it. That's how I lost my hair. Yeah. Is that what happened? It was childbirth. Wow. You know, it's interesting because she's wearing this thing and it looks kind of fun. Her picture is kind of delightful. She's smiling. But have you seen this thing that they advertise on TV now that's supposed to rejuvenate the skin? Preston, it looks like Hannibal Lecter's meat mask that he's wearing. Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about, right? No, I haven't seen it. Have you seen the commercial? Wait a minute. It's for your hair, but you wear it on your face? No, no. It's for your face. It's for your rejuvenate your skin. Oh, okay. And it's this whole thing. It looks bizarre. Well, I've seen... Yeah, so there are ones, Steve, that you buy in these packs and you put them on and then you can take them off later on and throw them away. They're like disposable. I don't know if this one is. I think this is more you turn it on. Oh, okay. Because we used to put the ones that looked...

like you were wearing a meat mask. Uh-huh. And it would, I'd come in and, you know, like, Shell would have one eye be like, you get it, God! God!

And there are those, but I haven't seen what you're talking about, Marissa. Steve, are you talking about the red light mask? It's like the red light mask. It looks like Jason's mask. Yeah. But there's a red light and it's like an infrared light that's just supposed to be good for your skin. Okay. It looks weird as hell. Yeah. All those things. Wait for the commercial. It'll pop up. It'll scare the crap out of you. But the ones that I'm talking about, they were like, you peel them off. Yeah. Yeah. And...

Yeah, those are like daily masks. They also sell those now that are reusable. So like cutting down on your waist. So these are similar. They're not exactly. Nah, this looks like Ultraman. You look like Ultraman if you're wearing that thing. It's like Paul Bettany. That's badass. Wow. Okay. All right, let me see. So she just got a hair, you know,

So she said... Do they just pull down on the chin? Is that what happens? Maybe that's what they do. No, she said I lost a lot in front. She said when you see it on... She's talking about that it looked thin up there. She said when you see it on a carpet, it's always extensions.

Having cleared the air a little bit, she added that she would share more later, adding that it really is, Steve, a journey. It's a journey. It's a journey. I had no idea that extensions were as common as they are. Like a lot. Yeah. Marissa had them on for a while. They look good. How long are you keeping those in? So every six weeks I go to Joseph Anthony and they push them up.

And then they just stay in. Okay. Cecily had... She's from Cecily, Tynan. It's like a whole new look when you add them. Yeah. And so when they go in, they're sturdy. They stay in. They don't fall out easily or anything? No, not whatsoever. Yeah, they're like little beads and they're tied up there and they just give you a little more fullness. Can I ask why not just grow your hair longer? It's not about...

long it's not always about length it's about body and fullness okay yeah I learned about them a long time ago from the show 90210 remember like the reboot of it I went to my hairdresser and I was like oh can you make my hair look like this and he's like that's not real hair and I was like what are you talking about and that's how I learned about it yeah they're very common

All right, after being seen and practicing for their big day on Saturday, Demi Lovato and fiancé Jordan Lutz are married now. The couple made it official Sunday in a California ceremony surrounded by family and friends. I love you. For those wondering, Lovato rocked a custom pearl white Vivienne Westwood gown with a corset bodice.

Gosh, he stole my dress! We got it today! Oh my God.

Enjoy this man and woman and holy magical woman. Rocky was the... They wanted him to be the officiant. The officiant of the ceremony? I know some of you here today don't like me much. I don't like you none neither. Forget about that. She looks... It's amazing. It's a cool dress that she's wearing. The one that she slimmed down to or switched into looks very...

It looks basic, but classy. Yeah, 50s starlet type of thing. I like, she's got some cool ink. She's got a little spider web on her shoulder. That means prison time, right? Yeah, she definitely killed somebody. She's got the eagle for our team, the eagles on her neck. Oh, I miss seeing that, Casey. No, no, no. It's a Super Bowl team. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Super Bowl team. Yeah.

Who's this guy again? This guy is... Do we like him? Yes, if she's happy. You know I've taken a very fatherly approach to Demi Lovato. And if this man is doing right by her and is going to treat her right, then I'm all supportive of this. He is a musician. Nick pulled up his Instagram and I see pictures of him singing to him. You would know him from the album Music You've Never Heard.

Singing into a microphone. So, yeah. During the next commercial break, I'm going to listen to one of his songs. I'll let you know if I approve of this. Thank you, sir. All right. Big changes for the cast of Saturday Night Live could be coming following the late night sketch show wrapping up its 50th season. Cast member Kenan Thompson spoke with Page Six about the long-running show and shared that the end of season 50 was bittersweet, adding, quote, it feels like there's maybe possibly a lot of changes next year. But he didn't stop there. He said...

You want everyone to stay forever, knowing that people may be making decisions this summer. It's always like you want your kids to stay young.

Thompson's been on the show himself for 22 seasons so far, but he shares that he has not signed a contract for the 23rd season. Some fans online have been theorizing that Bowen Yang may be stepping away after they saw him give an emotional hug to Sarah Sherman, though he said that he was just processing completing the season. Well, I'm not going to say it pisses me off, but there's sometimes they'll have people on for just a season and like, oh, they're fitting in nicely. I got some funny bits. And then they just escan them. Yep.

happens and there's so many people I mean I don't watch but when you guys mention cast members from time to time I'm like who? What do they got? Maybe a dozen cast members or something like that? And featuring. Probably in that range even sometimes 15 or 16. We'll see where they go with it. The Devils Wear Prada 2 has a premiere date.

But the interesting thing about it, none of the original actors are officially on board as of yet. All right. The sequel to the popular 2006, is this comedy here? I would say it was, I don't know if that was comedy. Drama with light moments, maybe? There were moments of laughter, but there was, no, both you and I are huge fans of that movie. I just really enjoy it. I think you'd have to have...

Somebody, somebody back from the cast. It's slated for theaters May 1st, 2026. Now, while the central stars from the original film Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Melent and Stanley Tucci are not yet signed, the rumored storyline does center around Streep and Blunt's characters. And according to reports, this sounds interesting. The sequel follows Streep's Miranda Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing...

And as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestley desperately needs. I could see that. I like that. That works for me. What was so great about the first one is that Amanda Priestley, by the end of it,

You know, she gives that recommendation, you know, letter to, God, I'm having a brain fart, her underling who has left the company. Andy was her name in the movie. Yeah, yeah, Anne Hathaway. And it was really, everyone had different shades of their character. No one was black and white. Yeah.

Yep. I just hope Stanley Tucci's on board because he was this really interesting side character. And he got royally screwed out of a career in that. With less than a year to go, further news should be coming sooner rather than later. I'd like to see Pacino in it reviving his role from the Devil's Advocate. Okay. Playing the devil. He'd be good with that, of course. All right. And then we'll do

One more story. Vince Vaughn is no longer dodging rumors about the Dodgeball sequel. In his recent sit-down with the Hollywood Reporter, the actor spoke on if there is any progress. He said, there's always talk of these, meaning sequels. He said, Dodgeball, actually, there is an idea that's pretty good, but nothing for sure, he said. Adding that he would only make a sequel if the story is right, if the extension is something that makes sense.

He even pointed out that he has some free time in the near future that could possibly give him room to make it happen. He said, I'm going to start the second season of Bad Monkey, which is great. And then I have another thing that I'm going to do, but I would definitely. So he said with the script, with a good idea already floating around and the right if it makes it to his desk, another movie is definitely.

looking possible. I don't see this as a theatrical release. I see this taking the Happy Gilmore 2 route, which is like a Netflix thing. So then there's not that much writing on it. The original movie, which I love, is a junk food movie. It's not particularly brilliant, but I'd love to see the same group. And at the time it was funny and the idea of dodgeball and adults playing it, but I don't know how they would rekindle that

in particular. I don't know. Maybe they go to another sport. That's what I'm thinking. Maybe they go pickleball. Pickleball. Yeah. Who knows? All right, now we're ready to play some clips for you. Now that Cobra Kai has wrapped, the time for a new Karate Kid to step up has arrived. And in this clip, Ralph Macchio explains why Ben Wang is a perfect fit to take the lead in Karate Kid Legends. Ben has done such amazing work in this film and his preparedness and work ethic is

His natural ability to want to enhance this franchise. The right guy got the right part, you know, and that's a big part of this franchise. I'd like to say for myself, I was the right kid at the right time. Yeah! Gratty Kid Legends hits theaters this weekend. Uh-huh. I might have to go see that. Yes. All right, next clip. Here we go.

Brad Rutter remains the all-time highest money winner in Jeopardy history. And here, Jeopardy Masters host Ken Jennings talks about facing the GOAT again, this time from the other side of the podium. This is special to me because, Brad,

Best Jeopardy player of his generation, which means I had to play him five times or so, and I was always the runner-up to this guy. The best I ever played, the guy I always had the hardest time beating, and I'm very relieved that this time I'm the host, and they gave me all the correct responses, and I don't have to play against this guy again. Let's go.

Yeah, man. New episode of Jeopardy Masters airs tonight. You'll find that on ABC. Yeah. I watch it all the time. Love it. And Ken's doing a great job, man. Yeah, he is. Brad's a big Eagles fan. He grew up in the area. And one year when he won something, he bet...

41, what was the score, Casey? 41-33. Oh, for the Eagles-Pats game? Yeah, yeah. So that was his bet as a nod to the Eagles. Nice. Yeah, yeah. Nice. All right.

Very, very soon. Yeah. Very, very soon. So we've got a graduation party on Friday. Do you? At our house, yes. And then there's various graduation parties on the way. We're graduating on Sunday. This Sunday. Wow. Geez. Well, outside of all that, there was an interesting viral video that popped up over the weekend. French President Emmanuel Macron was arriving in Vietnam.

for an appearance, and he's about ready to get off of their plane. The door is open of the aircraft, and you see him facing sideways, talking to someone, and all of a sudden you see a hand with a red sleeve on it reach out and shove him in the face. Ah!

And then a little while later, his wife walks out. She's wearing a red dress. Yeah. A red outfit. Oh, my God. And so when he gets shoved in the face, it's so funny because he looks annoyed. And then he turns and he sees people outside and cameras. And then he just smiles and goes, hey, everybody. How y'all doing? Bonjour. Bonjour. Nice to see you. And he waves and he plays it off. And he said later on.

that they were just bickering and they were joking around and having some kind of fun. And so she punched me in the face. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Boozer! So whatever it was, I think she was pissed at him and she's like, whatever, I'm not putting up with your crap.

And shoved him in the face. Nothing screws up your big walk down the steps of a jet like that. The big presentation with the press there. As getting cold cocked by your wife. Steve, you know how you and Claire joke around. She'll punch me in the face. I'll do like a half Nelson. That's the things we do. You know, fortunately...

Claire is not of the mind, or am I, to let things...

get fester and be on display in public. It's like, I don't care how bad it is if we're having an, you know, a bad run that that gets played out in public. Though I have known throughout the years, couples that have seemed to love it or wait for the moment where they're in public to go ballistic. And I, it is so uncomfortable, but so wild. Oh,

It's nightmarish. When it's not happened to you, it's awesome. It is the best thing to see. You're like, look at that. Watch this. Where are my binoculars? He's dead right now. He's dead meat. But I mean, there are times when you dance on the edge and you're close to

you know, reeling in it. Have you ever had a, have you ever had an exchange, a fight? Sure. I mean, well, with one. I mean, people can, people can tell if it's tense. Yeah. No, I mean, Rochelle and I, no, definitely not. We, we will not drag our, we will not air our dirty laundry or let things get so bad that you have a screaming match in public. But no, my, my old girlfriend of mine have heard

told many stories about her. Burnt rubber? Burnt rubber. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. She was a public fighter without question. Did she get you into crap? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. She wasn't the bottle thrower, was she? Drink thrower, yeah. Oh, God. Yep, yep, yep, yep. She was a drink thrower. That was always fun.

Your little baptism. Like just tossing a drink in somebody's face. It's like, oh my God. Now, by association, I have to deal with this. Right, right, right. You are kidding me. You have now brought me into a conflict with a guy named Gunther. Yeah. It's just terrible. But even that, like just getting into it publicly. Yeah. Like, you can just...

Put on an act for a little bit and then get into it when you get home. That's the way we play. Yeah. It was like if I got in trouble at mass, I never knew that I got in trouble at mass until I got home. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. And then when I got home, I was in. So I was like, oh, man, really?

Why didn't you say anything an hour ago when you were pissed off? Because we're not going to do this in public. How good are you at reading your wife? I'm a master. I know instantly. I am illiterate when it comes to actual words. And then I am a master reader when it comes to, you know...

Body language. Body language and all that. Facial expressions. Yeah. Whatever it may be. Yeah. Okay. Right. And when that happens, you're like, oh, man. Here we go. Oh, yeah. We're on a journey. We're going to start a journey. Yeah. I think I'm never going to be... I'm never going to go home. You know what I mean? That's my journey. I'm joining... It's taking me to the Motel 6. Diana, join the circus. What?

But it's always that sort of case. Yeah, yeah. If you've ever, if a public fighter has ever been a part of your relationships, feel free to reach out to us, 610-660-9000.

Whether you were the instigator or it was the other way around and had to deal with that because that's a whole skill set that is... That's a tough one. It's also difficult, especially in his case, where he's going to say, we're just playing. Yeah, right. I mean, listen, if that was...

So you can give a little bit and say, okay, maybe that's her little thing and she just pushed his face and so on and so forth. But if someone is physically, if it is not bad and she pushes his face... What other excuse are you going to come up with? They need to say something. We were just playing, I think is maybe the default easiest excuse or whatever. I had a friend in college and he's a great guy. Really even keeled. And he...

I don't know if thrived on him is the right word, but he and his now wife, and they've been together for a long, long time. Man, they would have knocked down drag outs in public, and it was so uncomfortable to be around. And they've been married for a long time. Maybe they just evolved past it or whatever, or maybe...

That passion led to, like, great sex or who knows what else. Yeah, right. But, like, they got so fired up in public that then they had really good makeup sex. I don't know. But for whatever reason, like, it would happen enough that they... We knew that they were the couple that that happened to, and I couldn't stand being around it. Are they still together? Yeah. They've been married for a long, long time. Now that I think about it, there was a couple who we were friends with, and it was out of high school, early 20s and so on, and they...

They would sometimes at parties get into it in front of all of us. They're still together. They got two kids. They've been together for 30 some odd years. Was there a common theme that caused them to go at each other? Alcohol. Alcohol. Yeah. Alcohol. Yeah. No, I hear you. Yeah. Yeah.

Once that starts, you know what I don't like about you? Please tell me. Oh, my God, yes. You know what I hate about you? Yeah. By the way, are there any traveling circuses in town? Let me go to... Hang on a second. Is he on hold or not? I think I have... Max is going to be joining us. Max, you are on the air. Good morning. Hello. Hey, what's up? So, I wasn't in this relationship, but I know someone that was. Okay. And...

One night, they were always fighting. They're always fighting all the time. And then one night, we're hanging out at the bar. She was trying to find him all day. Finally tracked him down at the bar, which is not hard to do because we always go to the same bar. She ended up calling the bar to see if he was there.

yelling at them yelling at the people that work there and stuff and then later on she showed up in person screaming at him calling an effing alcoholic pos all this stuff

The next day, she called the bar again and yelled at them and told them, you can't serve him anymore and this and that. And they're like, well, we can't do that. And she actually ended up getting banned from the bar, but not him. She got banned from the bar. So that's an interesting dynamic. So that's like, you know, and maybe he did have an issue with alcohol or whatever. Yeah.

But it's a little different when you're both out together. Yeah. You know? Yeah, there are people who just... They bicker. And they just get off on it. And I've known people like that. Yeah. It's always...

I eventually had to ask this friend of mine who was with this guy for the longest time. It appears you do not like this guy. It appears you find a lot of faults with him. Why are you with him? I love him. I love him. Really? Really? Yeah.

But you know what I'm saying? There's a bizarre adhesive bond that occurs. He's the person I love to, or she's the person I love to mentally berate

Yeah. The most. And that's your thing. I don't get it. I don't get it. I've told you guys this before, but we lived in a house where we had a flag lot behind us and there was another couple and they would, to not argue in front of their kids, they would go outside. And that was, we could see it out the back of our house. Is this on? Is this on? All right, let's go. Yeah. And Rochelle would be like, hey, Rochelle. Yeah. They're going at it again. Did you have chairs? Yeah.

We would stand at the window and we'd crack it open so we could hear and they would be screaming at each other. Listen, if the audio is coming into your yard, it's like if a ball comes into your yard, you can keep it. You don't have to return it. You should. But yeah, if the audio is available, you're going to listen. No, I totally eavesdrop on my neighbor's...

arguing uh and it was two different neighbors that were arguing over a tree and it was great i just loved it have you ever been fighting in the house uh having an argument and it's the summer and the windows are open and you sort of try to like border collie um uh each other into a room where it's less likely to go out through the windows i've done that let's take this into the basement yeah

But it's interesting, people who are in a relationship for as long as they, you know, like I said, the one couple that Nick knows and one couple that I know and that, I don't know, I haven't seen them in a long time. Maybe they have figured out how to not do that anymore. But we were always just like, man, they're really, you know, do these two...

Really like each other? Right, right. I'm sure they love each other. Like in Nick's case, the friend, this was their... Everybody knew. Everybody knew. And Steve, it became so much of a problem that you... And I don't want to say their names on the air, but it would be like, all right, well, are they coming out tonight? Are they going to be around this weekend? And if so...

I don't know if I want to go too. It became that bad where you're just like, I don't think I want to hang out with these people because it was obnoxious after a while. And you could see the embers being sanded. It's an ineluctable, it's going to happen. Sometimes it's like

You don't always have to say something. Do you know what I mean? Like the constant critique of something. I know exactly what you're saying, but Casey, that button, that didn't work in their brain. That I don't have to say something button didn't exist. Because if you say something, then I'm going to say something. That's right. To defend myself or to defend my honor, and then that's going to piss you off. And then it's just going to...

Sometimes it's like a sucker fish that won't let go. It's like the casual... These nachos are great and you're bad in bed. Wait, what? Hang on, I'm going to go to Logan. He's got a comment. Logan, you're on the air, buddy. Hey, guys. Good morning. How you doing? Good, man. What's going on?

Yeah, thanks. It's actually a phase me and my wife went through early on. Oh, okay. About being married. And Nick, you're absolutely right. There's a common denominator that is some drinking at bars. Yeah. And would it be every time? Would it be half the time? Like how frequently was it for you guys? It was sometimes. It was kind of hit or miss, but it was mainly when both of us

We're going at it quite aggressively, having a few too many drinks. As everything in mid-marriage is that you do learn, you evolve, and you kind of figure it out and get past it. But Casey, it's so funny. I totally relate. Whenever I would be the one to cause the fight or get in trouble or do something stupid...

I would put off going home as long as... You know, I've always wanted to climb Everest. Yeah, yeah. You start a conversation with anybody just to avoid having to go. You know, listen. The hardest thing to do is to, you know, in a relationship is to...

is to take, you know, take your hit. And like, if you're wrong, you're wrong. And just be straight up and apologize and do what needs to happen. I've seen it happen so many times, though, talking about this, where it just seems that half the thrill for these couples is the fight. Maybe that is what substitutes for passion or whatever. So over time, were you guys yelling at each other? Was it simply tense? How would this manifest?

Yeah, I mean, it was always over something stupid, which was, you know, fortunate because it didn't actually, you know, manifest later on into anything that was a serious issue. Right. It was just, you know, stupid stuff. We'd end up yelling at each other, getting annoyed over little things. One of us, if not both, would cry at some point sometimes. It was just stupid things that we realized we didn't really need to be, you know, going there. Have you had public crying while you guys were fighting?

Oh, yeah. Rooftop bar in Westchester. It was not fun. It is one of those things you look back and you say, how did I let it get that far? Right. What did you do? Did you take one of her olives without asking? Like, what was the thing that kicked it all off?

Um, usually it would be over. Actually, you know what? The one time on that bar was over. She thought I was going to drive home. Oh, I was expecting she would drive home. There was a miscommunication there, which neither one of us appreciated. This was very early on and we're probably 23, 24. Okay. Over the, over the, over the designated driver. Basically this was pre Uber, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. You bring the bad stuff, which is like, okay. You also run into that issue with the drinking and driving or designated driver is, no, no, I am going to drive home. But yeah, I...

I don't... Like, if I were going to drive, I wouldn't drink at all, right? But, like, you're driving, and you're thinking, like, well, five drinks. Yeah, a couple drinks. I just had five. The couple I was telling you guys about, I remember one night they had a knockdown drag out. We were at a party, and this will kind of date it a little bit, but... And I'm not going to use anybody's names, but the female had gone to a Natalie Merchant concert. All right. And...

And Natalie was very politically or socially active. So she took some time to talk about the same things that she was concerned about and wanted to share. And my friend didn't think that she had a right to do that because I paid to go to this concert and I don't want to go and hear this stuff.

And then the husband, now husband, was arguing on the other side of the thing. Well, listen, it's their show. Yeah. And they will do what they want to. You know, you pay for the ticket and this is the show you get. Right. And they went back and forth on this. And it was like they had to leave. And, you know, because it was just, it turned into, wait a minute. No, you blah, blah, blah. This and that. Back and forth. It was hilarious. Well, you know, why is it with the people you love the most, those things...

Those things can just... I don't know. It means more. Philosophical differences. No, he was from Melmac. Right, right. What? By the way, I watched a ton of Alpha over the weekend. Side note. Okay. Any good life lessons in there? No.

I gotta think about that for a moment. Just don't eat cats. No, but I did date somebody for a little while who I felt like she thought it was her job to be mad at me all the time. You know what I mean? Like, oh, this is my right. This is my obligation as your significant other to just kind of always point out like,

that you're doing wrong. Yeah. I've seen it go... To me, it's the same as the guy who's the old... The ball and chain. Right. It's like the fact... The old lady. It's like... What? Yeah. So that dynamic never worked for me either way. Speaking of the old lady, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but Brigitte Macron, Emmanuel's wife, is 24 years older than Emmanuel Macron. No kidding. Yeah, she was born in 1953. He was born in 1977. He's only 47 years old. Wow.

She was a student of... He was a student of hers. Really? In school, yes. She was his teacher. All right, so let me pose this to you, Steve. Wow. Yes. Is she mommying him a little bit? Yeah. You know what? That is an interesting concept I've heard put out there a couple of times where...

Her first exposure to him, no pun intended, was I think they were dating like right on the heels of him being a student. So it was as a teacher-student relationship. So maybe that's part of it. So do you think when they were having this confrontation, she called him little man at some point? I mean, listen, she did put her hands on him, which she... Don't do that. From what you saw in that video, did that look like playful...

No, it looked like she was pissed off. Now, it didn't look like assault to me or anything like that. It was just like kind of get out of my face type of thing. This is how we got started on this conversation. There's a hilarious video of him getting shoved in the face and then turning around going, oh, there's a camera there. Hi. Hey, everybody.

She was 39 the first time she met him, and he was only 15 years old in high school. Right. Yeah. That's a little tense. And I think in France, you're probably expected to get smacked by your wife from time to time, maybe. You know, not putting up with any kind of garbage.

Garbage. That hurt. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. But it is an interesting dynamic. You know, what I've always hated, Preston, even if you're not, even if there's no tension, if you're in a restaurant where you're sitting close to people, very close and having any sort of conversation, I'm always leery. I don't like people within anything.

listening distance. It annoys the crap out of me. And so in a case where you're trying, if there's any sort of agitation or anything comes up, to me that's a nightmare scenario. Oh, yeah. I mean, because you will, it's in a nice place or even some restaurants, you'll be sitting like almost knee to knee. Right on top of each other. Yeah, there are sometimes there are small tables that are right next. I hate you so much. I know, yeah.

I told you this is totally unrelated, but Rochelle and I were at this, we were in a Chinese restaurant and it was us and one other person in the restaurant. We were like two booths away from them and they had their iPad there with whomever they wanted to have lunch with. Right.

And having this conversation back and forth, and I just, it was annoying. Were they pretend feeding the screen? I think so, yeah. You got a little dim sum on you. But, and that's a whole other subject. There's just the sound of the audio coming out of devices is...

a little more. Yeah. Full on this guy in behind me in line on Sunday. Full on phone conversation for like a long time. And I could hear everything and like business plans and all sorts of like, all right. By the way, the keypad code is. Yeah. Yeah.

That's when you want to lean in and say, I don't think that's a good investment choice. Pork bellies. Yeah, pork bellies. Frozen orange juice. Hang on. I'm going to go to, we got Ra. There it is. Hey, Ra. What's up, man?

Show us your genitals. Genitalia. Wow. Forgot about that one. Yes, yes. What's up, bud? Hey, so, yeah, I had one of those situations where the young lady decided that she always had to air anything right then, right there, no matter where you were, you know. And one time we were going up to see a concert up in Manhattan, one of those free concerts.

Central Park concerts and we're on the Megabus and all that stuff, right? And in the Megabus, you know, the seats are kind of tight, but if you're in a couple, it's cozy, right? She has her legs on top of my legs. Yeah. We're holding hands. There's another couple next to us and we start getting into a conversation, I guess, about life, maybe politics or whatever. Uh-huh. And she doesn't agree with what the woman on the other side is saying, but I kind of agreed with what the woman was saying. Oh, no. Oh, no. And...

Yeah. So then it became a problem between she and I, my girlfriend, my then-girlfriend and I. And when I tell you it got cold on that bus, took her legs off, unclasped the hands, we're no longer holding hands, right? Now, here's what happens. When you disrespect me like that, because I'm a silent person. I don't get into the yelling and all that. And when I used to get silent, I used to make her go ballistic. She hated when I started being silent. Oh, okay.

The rest of the trip was cold. So we got off the bus and I'm like, this is my town. I'm from New York. I'm taking you up here to go to something that I've gone to alone plenty of times. We're not going to this concert. Now, I didn't say that. I just didn't go. Now, I'm not walking to where the concert is. And she's like, well, where's the concert? I was like, listen, we have to have a discussion about this whole coldness and whatnot. And she's like, well, hold on. And she starts yelling and whatnot in the middle of the street.

in the middle of the sidewalk and then she starts crying and she's cute, curvy and all of the stuff. So it looks like what did the big bad man do to you? You know what I'm saying? Women are walking by, girl, are you okay? Are you okay, sister? I was sitting there like, see, you don't understand the disrespect, you know. But ultimately we ended up breaking up because she put her hands on me.

Oh, no kidding. You cannot do that. Either way. Yeah. Not that day. Yeah. We were together for much longer, sadly. But the ultimate breakup was because she actually put her hands on me and I could feel my inner demon growing. And I was like, you know, I don't touch women like that. But this person right here is pushing my buttons. And let me get out of here. We don't have any kids. Yep. We don't have any. We're not married. You know, it was.

It was crazy. Well, it's a good thing that surfaced, man. Yeah. I mean, because you could have taken it a step further and not found out about that until later on, and then you would have been wholly more invested. So that ended up being a good thing. Well, sadly, it took five years. It only took five years. Wow.

It took five years because everything else was perfect. She was just wicked when she got angry, man. It was bad. It was so bad. There's so many things that help to learn in the way you exchange and you communicate with this person that you love. Learning how to, for Claire and myself, to hear how they hear

how she would hear things the way I would say it or not say it or not give complete information. And it's the hardest thing in the world to turn it around and look at how you might be coming across to someone. But when you do, that gives you such a good context. Hey, did therapy help with that? No, it didn't.

Tremendously. Yeah. Tremendously. Sometimes a perspective from someone else saying, hey, have you thought about it this way? Yeah. You can't hear that from the person that you're arguing with. It's hard to hear that. Well, it is. If you can have an outside source that can maybe steer you in this direction, say, hey, I understand what you're saying, but let's think about how this sounds. And they're simple tools. Well, simple. And you also have to give yourself the permission to not be able to employ them every frigging time and to sometimes just say, nah, no.

Alphys from LMAQ, I'm right. Or whatever. I've done things and just take it that way, process it. And also, if you're in a restaurant or you're in public and things are going south,

Let's finish our meal. We'll go home. Yeah. Take a breath. Yep. Take a breath. If you can do that. There's that old axiom that you should never go to bed angry, but actually sometimes you should go to bed angry. Oh, absolutely. Instead of having a knockdown drag out or Steve, if you're in the restaurant or whatever, it's

sleep on it. You'll feel better the next day. Come back with some reason. And when you learn how to argue a little bit better or table the argument, say, you know what? I'm too heated right now. I'm not thinking rationally. I'm really angry. So let's set it aside and come back when I can actually think a little more clearly. It can go a long, long way. We have to meet the Vietnamese diplomat now. Right? Yeah.

Let's put this on hold for now. We're getting off the plane. Let's strike a trade deal. We have some trade agreements to go through. And then we can discuss ALF when we get back.

But the video is pretty funny because you just see this hand reach out, shove him in the face, and he looks annoyed. And then he turns and he takes a moment, smile, wave, hi, everybody. And like 10 seconds later, she comes walking out there together, arm in arm, and everything's perfect. You know what would have been great? If you would have seen like a high-heeled leg, whack, kick him in the nuts. Yes, we're going to watch this video one more time. He didn't know the door was open. Oh, you have opened the door.

Did Macron just have that thing where they... And it turned out it was not this, but it looked like he was hiding a...

a coke a spoon for for coke oh on a trip it turned out it was not the case but it looked like this was the case no i did not he's had these moments where they're not they're not apprising him of the fact that the press is there or the door is opening up they need to give him a shout before any of this is happening you know what we got i was going to wrap it up but i want this call looks too interesting uh we're going to go to uh lisa hi uh lisa you are on the air good morning

Hey, good morning, guys. How are you? Great. All right. You have an interesting story to share. Go for it.

Yeah, so my ex and I, we were out rock climbing in Joshua Tree once, and he used to just be such a jerk, like criticizing me and just saying how I was doing everything wrong, and he would like yank on the rope when he was super annoyed with me. Wow. We were doing this one climb, and when he got to the top, I just yanked the rope down and left him up there, and I drove away, and he had to like yell for help for like an

hour until other climbers found him. Oh, that is... I can't say... Listen, I know this guy. Without knowing this guy, I know this kind of guy. And I can't say I...

I disagree with what you did. Lisa, you literally took away his lifeline. His lifeline. You took it away. Yeah, I just finally had enough. I wanted to teach him a lesson and, you know, we broke up like a year later. Oh, well, see, he's still got another year out of that misery. So did you end up going back to save him or you just assumed somebody was going to help him?

Oh, no, I just left him there. I drove back to the campsite and like three, four hours later, he showed up. He was so angry. Yeah, you left him for dead. You left him in the desert. You left him dead in the desert. Rock climbing in Joshua Tree. That is kind of ballsy. Had to be done. Had to be done. It's a popular place. Somebody will come by. There's a lot of rock climbers out there. The skeleton of a 32-year-old man was found...

Hanging from a cliffside. Oh my God, that's funny. All right, Lisa, did you ever find another relationship after that?

Oh, for sure. Yeah, definitely. It was somebody who wasn't such a jackass. Yeah, listen. Good for you. You know that old slogan, there are lots of fish in the sea? It is true. So there's somebody there for you. Thanks, Lou. Glad it worked out. Appreciate it. All right. All right, well, let's take ourselves a break. Come back in a second. I do have some bizarre file stories that are on the way. We have a new Word of the Week prize. It is a hookup with Stained at the Hard Rock at the Edison Arena in Atlantic City and an overnight stay there.

I want to make sure I said that right, Waukesha.

are investigating a large fight at a senior living center that happened Thursday afternoon. Police said they responded to Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living Center around 1.30 in the afternoon. It was Melmac! Official...

See, this whole argument just goes on. It's not just in relationships. It's amongst people who share the same domiciles. Visuals said that they received calls of a chaotic fight in the center's lobby.

Police said the fight appeared to stem from a dispute among several employees and it escalated when other people forcibly entered the premises. The fight included about eight to ten people, adults and juveniles involved. You got the beginnings of a video series that would make a lot of money. The bum fights. Yeah.

If there was any indicator, you could make some money off this. Yeah, senior fights. Senior fights. Officers said that one person was injured after being kicked in the head.

Police are looking for the people involved and have not made any arrests. Not really kicked, shuffled. Yeah. Here's a terrible story out of Florida. A verbal dispute over a food order at a Checkers restaurant in Kissimmee escalated into a fatal shooting on Wednesday evening. Once on the scene, deputies discovered that the shooting involved a customer, someone named Wesley Robertson, and an employee identified as 23-year-old Elijah Travis Mackey. Now,

Video from the checkers shows Mackie climbing out of the drive-thru window. So this is the guy working in there. He crawls out through the drive-thru window, walking to the front of the business where Robertson was. And according to a witness, excuse me, Mackie and the customer began arguing. The document goes on to say that Robertson made a derogatory comment to McClure.

And it started out over a disagreement over the order. So this is a fight over food. Yes, this happens a lot. That has happened. And apparently, that's when Mackey pulled out a small handgun from his waistband and shot Robertson in the chest. This is the guy working the drive-thru. He's got a handgun in his waistband.

Mackie was arrested. He was booked with first-degree premeditated murder on that. Wow. As they say, you better checkers yourself before you wreckers. Checkers yourself.

Police in Wilkes-Barre Township said that they charged a guy named Chaz Pearson on allegations that he assaulted an elderly man who passed gas while waiting in line at a business. Assaulted in my face. What? So Pearson was standing behind the man who passed gas while in line at the CSL Plasma. Hey, I made something for you. Okay.

The man apologized. Enjoy. But Pearson, the complaint says, did not accept the apology and proceeded to strike the man in the head. What was the age? How old is the guy, you said? It doesn't say. So the guy who was charged is 39 years old, but it was an elderly man who passed gas in front of him. I think at a certain point, isn't that one of the joys of aging is that you can fart in public? Yeah. Sometimes you didn't even know you farted. And it's just like, hey. You know what? It was crap. Yeah. Yeah.

I took a dump, didn't even know. The pain.

What a world. The man's son intervened and was also struck by Pearson. This guy just does not like farts. Yeah. Most people like them. Yeah. I mean, you prefer your own. Of course. You know, smell wise. Yeah. Police in the complaint say the physical altercation was recorded by surveillance cameras. Pearson is facing charges of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. So, yeah. I punched him because he farted. Because he farted. Yep.

A man in Norway awoke early Thursday to discover a huge container ship, like a cargo ship, had run aground just a stone's throw from his house, which is right next to a fjord, and he had slept through the entire commotion. It's a fjord, Preston. Oh, I'm sorry. Fjord. The picture of the house that I saw of this whole thing, it looks like it's a photoshopped...

Really? There's no way that could be real. And he slept through it. Yeah. Yeah. For an as yet unknown reason, the 443 foot long NCL Sultan sailed up on the shore just meters away from Johan Helberg's house. That's unbelievable. In a Ford in central Norway. There was a movie a while back. If you guys remember, Kevin Bacon had a partial role in it.

where all the power goes out in the country, and that cargo ship rolls right up onto the beach. It's a very chilling thing. Yeah, and that's what I was thinking of when I saw this, because this came like...

just a few feet away from taking this guy's house. Ethan Hawke was in that as well, right? He was. Was it the Obama's movie? The End of the World? Yeah. Leave the world behind. Leave the world behind. So, Helberg only discovered the unexpected visitor when a panicked neighbor who had repeatedly rung his doorbell to no avail gave up and called him on the phone. He said, the doorbell rang at a time of day when I don't like to open it, Helberg said. That ship you ordered is here. So, his neighbor said, his neighbor, by the way, is Jostin Jorgensen.

said that he was rousted around 5 a.m. by the sound of a ship heading at full speed toward the land and immediately ran to Halberg's house. He said, I rang the doorbell many times and nothing, and it was only when I called him on the phone that I managed to contact him. Several hours later, the massive red and green container ship was still stuck near the wooded house

Awaiting to be refloated. The ship reportedly caused damage to a heating pipe in Helberg's cabin. But the homeowner said that it could have been much worse. He said if the ship hadn't hit the rocky cliff right next to it, it would have lifted up and hit the house very hard. It would have plowed it right down. Yeah. None of the 16 crew members were injured. I don't care if you have brick face. In the incident and the cause of it, which is being investigated by Norwegian police.

All right, we'll do one more story and wrap it up. Let's end with this wild story of survival. In Arizona, a toddler is recovering in the hospital after she was bit twice by a rattlesnake. Jacqueline Reed, who lives with her family near Florence, Arizona, said that the incident happened while she was walking her young daughter, only 15 months old. Oh, my God. This kid, Kara, outside their home last week, said, I left her side to throw a piece of trash about 50 feet away.

While I was gone for less than 10 seconds, it seems a snake got her twice. I came back. She was crying. I saw her foot and the snake tucked behind a propane tank against our house. Family rushed her to the emergency room where medical professionals started giving her antivenom. Kara was neurologically decompensating pretty quickly and began vomiting profusely.

Quite a lot. She was becoming lethargic, the mom wrote. Kara was intubated and flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. She said she received quite a bit of antivenom. They are keeping a super close eye on her foot, the blood flow, and the swelling, but keeping her intubated for the pain control. The child's aunt, Delia Reed, wrote on the GoFundMe page that Kara received more than 30 vials of antivenom during treatment. So think of a body that small and that much bigger.

in a body that small. Jacqueline has been documenting her daughter's time in the hospital since showing foot photos of Kara with oxygen tubes and a blackened foot at times. The oxygen levels dropped as low as 25% and they said the family, that her foot injury is one of the most severe that the doctors have seen. But the family shared some uplifting news.

Saying the care was able to come off the Helix and process to no oxygen at all by the end of the day. She said this morning we decided to stop her tube feeds and encourage eating again. So this kid's going to make it. Yeah. And is probably going to be fine. But, man, she's such – she's a baby. I'm looking at the picture right here. I'm seeing lines around her legs. Yeah. Her leg. And I'm wondering what those are for. I've –

I'm going to guess, Steve, that if they see the bruising coming up to that point, you're talking about necrosis. It's like her foot's turning black and would they have to amputate? Amputate. That's what I was thinking. Oh, my God. Poor little girl. But as of Thursday evening, a GoFundMe page has raised more than $17,000 to help a family with medical expenses. But she's going to be okay. That's terrifying, man. And that is what I have.

in the Bazaar file for you this morning. Hey, a reminder, this weekend is the 10th Annual Laurel House, Whatcom Island, Herschews event. It's going to be on the 31st, which is Saturday, I believe. And we're going to be at the campus of Versailles College.

Right by the Casey statue. That's right. That huge Casey statue. But I'd like you to get signed up for Team WMMR if you can. You can go to PrestonAndSteve.com or WMMR.com and sign up. And then that's the same day as the big climb that Nick is doing. A little bit earlier in the day, right? Yeah, sorry, Preston. Subaru Park with the Union play. And we're going to be there from 8 p.m. to 5 p.m.

I'm sorry, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. And a whole lot of people are stopping by. I actually got a text from somebody on Friday that I've known most of my life. His daughter was recently diagnosed with leukemia. And he just was reaching out. He's like, tell me about LLS. Tell me what your brother went through. And so Team Luke and Team WMMR were going to be climbing LLS.

The steps of Subaru Park on Saturday morning. And all that information about Walk a Mile and about Big Climb Philly, they're both on the events page of WMMR.com. Excellent. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We will come back in just a moment or two, so stay close. We will not be gone long, friends. Analog. Great for music. Total crap for phone service.

So now, use 610-660-9333 for calls and texts. Yep, one number for everything that rocks. Your phone. Let me get a pen.

610-660-9333. Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme Markets. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Well, we did it. We kicked off the summer. We did it in Preston and Steve Show fashion at Kenan's Irish Pub in North Wildwood on Friday. And I have to tell you, before we get into how much fun it actually was, I was so glad when we were done. This particular day,

The beginning of this year has been a lot. Yeah, it's been a lot. A lot going on. And you know it's what it's been. And besides the big drama that we had to deal with, leading up to Keenan's, it's the last...

really big thing that we have to plan for a little while because we had the Cardboard Classic and then we had Spring Training and then into this. And it just takes extra manpower for not just us, but our promotion staff, our engineering staff, our sales staff, everybody actually. So this was like...

The last one, and we have the blood drive coming up, but that's a little less maintenance as far as our prep goes. And so we were leading up this, and we were in the thick of it, and we were like halfway through. I'm looking at you guys. I'm like, there's light at the end of the tunnel. We're going to get to relax a little bit for a month or two. True, but you also forget we had to send out a bird bot on a journey. Yeah, that too. We had the Super Bowl parade. Not that we were responsible, but we had to plan stuff in and around all of that. So listen, it's like...

playing a violin for us. No, we're not asking for that. It just seemed congested more than usual. Always loved doing it, but I think we're all of a mindset that this is the finish line for at least a little while. We got done, and I sat backstage with Marissa and cracked open a Coors Banquet, and it was...

It was wonderful. Yeah, yeah. I just enjoyed the hell out of that. Hanging out, and you guys, we all did, and talked to the listeners after, and then walking around the general vibe. It was beautiful weather. It was just a great thing, and it was one of those mornings where...

Everything was, you know, I looked at the clock and I remember I pointed, waved you over, Preston, and said, we're exactly on time. Yeah. We finished at 10.07. We wanted to finish by 10 o'clock and we got done by 10.07 and it ended up being a great morning. Very few hiccups took place as far as, you know, us planning on something and it going sideways, which you can always kind of get ready for because we're talking about a lot of people and a lot of moving parts. Yes.

But it was so much fun. I was just having a ball, man. You know, it's funny. And we talked about this at the beginning of the broadcast because it used to be, okay, the, you know, Keenans would stay close for a little bit. We do kind of our standard stuff like the news and the entertainment report.

The news is over. The door is clearly opened up and the place is filling in. And, you know, by the time you were a minute, two minutes into entertainment, the place was packed already. Yeah. It was just crazy. Well, I was talking to people the day before because we came to, you know, we went to Kenan's at night for the pre-party. And I was talking to people. I'm like, you guys coming down tomorrow morning? They're like, man, I don't know. I was like, why not? They were like, because if you want to get in that main room. Yeah. You have to be there before 5 a.m. or you don't get.

into the main room. And I was like, yeah, I haven't thought about that. Yeah. If you did, I mean, you know, you maybe, but for the most part, people don't phase in and out of that room. They come in, they park and they stay, they stay for the whole thing. I went outside at, uh, eight 15, uh, to look at the other side of Kenan's and that was packed at eight 15 in the morning. And that was the reason why it was, there was no room anywhere inside. So if people wanted to hang out at Kenan's, they had to go outside. Yeah. Before the show started, uh,

I went out to just to see how far the line went. And,

And the line, it basically started on Old New Jersey Avenue by, I guess that's maybe Chestnut. That's just north of First. And it went all the way down to First Street, down around the corner, almost all the way down to Central. Are you serious? Yeah. Wow. It's insane. If you want to share anything you saw or did or enjoyed or anything that went weird, feel free to call us.

uh 610-660-9333 because we had a uh we had an absolute capacity crowd so some of the takeaways that i had was we had a super wide range of ages a lot of a lot of newbies so you kind of took an informal poll of the uh the uh audience preston there were a lot of people there for the first time and that was amazing yeah one of our contestants i forgot him what contest was uh

She's like, yeah, I go, how many years have you been here? She said, this is my second one. I go, how old are you? 22. I'm like, oh, you rung in the 21st year at this event. Good for you. And it started off great. Like Steve was saying, it was a beautiful morning. And then we got into the whole thing and then it opened up and we dove right into it.

The crowd surfing contest. Which, by the way, when we got there on Thursday night, me and Preston, Nick, Marissa, we all get there on Thursday night. It's not crowded. We can see the room when we're broadcasting. And when Preston got there, I was like, dude, they changed the room again. And I said, I think this might directly affect crowd surfing. Well, so we'd asked Scott about it. He says there's a couple of changes.

No, just a couple of changes. And then Rodney sends me a couple of pictures. I'm in the, you know, I'm in the hotel room, the Icona, which is awesome, by the way. And, you know, waiting for everything. He sends the pictures over and I'm like, oh, my God. So they moved the back wall out eight feet. They put these ramps up, obviously, for wheelchair access and so on and so forth. Long story short, it worked regardless. Yeah, they extended the raised area for people to be able to see closer to the stage, which

shrunk some more of our room. But it is what it is. Well, fortunately, we weren't planning on anything that was too massive in scale. It was all manageable because we'd done variations before. So it all worked out. I tell you what, it was kind of cool. Kicking off with Vanya. Vanya Sachs was great. The anthem in the beginning, I was tearing up. And Enrico Palazzo. Enrico Palazzo, Matthew, was very gracious and was totally cool with it. It's usually his job.

Everybody loved Vandy Sax's rendition of the national anthem. And then we dove into the party afterwards. And we did the crowd surfing first. And we always look for the tiniest people in the room because they're going to be lifted up and raised around and above the crowd. And people have to be able to move them. So we picked two contestants. And one of them I recognized immediately when she came up.

She's the tiniest thing. She's probably shorter than Marissa. She's probably like, you know, 4'10". And she's also missing her ring finger on her right hand. Right. And so she has a natural shocker. Like without having to do it. And the crowd thought that was a riot.

She ended up winning, if I recall correctly, because she's a little baby thing. But we had our contestants dressed in inflatable Eagles outfits. And the whole scenario was we tried to have a theme with the crowd surfing that she had to travel around in the Super Bowl bus and collect the various championships along the way, ending in the Lombardi trophy. And that ended up going great.

No potential dips or anything like that. No, and the fact that they were wearing these oversized puffy Eagles outfits, that gave them some protection. But yeah, man, it was great. And the crowd filled in nicely. Of course, that's the one you always fear. Oh, Christ, don't fall, don't fall, don't fall. And they both did a great job. And by the way, Bill Kane, our photographer, got great pictures of the whole event. And Newman University was covering. We had full-on YouTube coverage, which was wonderful.

And we had a few other events that took place. I want to point out before we dive into the events, but the T-shirts, the outfits, some people really did it up this year. There was a couple right up by the front near the stage. And he had done, the gentleman had done, your mother's a whore. And even she knows to mind the tram car. Watch the tram car. Yeah, it was great. And then there was a group of guys that were...

over the top obnoxious, uh, with their outfits. One guy did his best Miami vice, which was excellent. And a variety of really over the top thing that just makes it visually. We're like, okay, people came to party. Yeah. Um, and yeah, the, the gal with the, uh, watch the tram car, uh, shirt guy was wearing a shirt that said, Hey, bitch is on it. And so thank you to all those. And people make up special eggs with peg and, and, uh, Preston and Steve, uh,

shirts and everything for those. We had some people there who had been virtually to every one of these things, which is amazing. There's a couple, and I always forget the husband's name, but the wife's name is Brittany, and they're at a ton of our events, but like, not only were they there on Friday, but they also brought their own ponchos. What?

because you know when we do the baptism of beer you know we toss out hundreds of ponchos and so i saw them afterwards i'm like wait a second i didn't know our ponchos had these little and they're like no no these are ours by the way to that point i've never seen a we we had more ponchos more of the audience was ponchoed up for the baptism preston was in his papal uh garb uh it looked really very religious thanks to marissa for bringing all the uh the extra ponchos for everybody uh

By the way, you know who I want to get in here? It's intern Colin. Oh, yeah. Because he was a virgin and never made it, had never gone to the event. In fact, Colin, how old are you, by the way? 22. 22. All right. So he'd never been to the event. And I love...

at people's faces. Right. Who've never seen it before. And just see what they look like because at one point I looked over at Colin and he had this grin on his face. I'm like, told you, right? Yeah. What did you think of the event overall, man? Dude, it was awesome. Yeah. I mean, like, I think the Seagull Screech Off. Who was the guy that booed constantly? Oh, Mike. Mike. Yeah, yeah. The sir named Mike. Yeah. Oh, Mike.

The fact that he kicked off the seagull screech off and everybody outdid him, him being first was like perfect. Well, he set the bar low and he was just a good-natured guy. It was very funny that he took the heat from the crowd. But what we did have is a number of people who had committed to being a part of this didn't show up. So there were a lot of people who just out of the crowd said, yeah, I think I can do it. And there were some awesome participants. What did you think of all of our seagull screeches? They were pretty good, right? Oh, they were spot on. Yeah. And my mom...

I want to shout out to her because she was like, oh, I can do this, especially after Mike. She's like, oh, I can definitely do better. And then Helen went and then Rachel, our winner, they were too spot on. I text my mom and I'm like, yeah, I don't think you got that. You're not going to take this one. But Colin was instrumental in one of our contests. We had the crowd karaoke and Colin had to hold up the signs for that. A little more confident as the contest went on. Did you notice that?

Colin did? Colin, yeah. Yeah, you started walking out onto the stage a little bit deeper. Holding up, making sure everybody was in on it. How long did you end up sticking around afterwards? Did you have to leave on your way? No, I stayed until like 1 o'clock. He went out to breakfast with us, Preston. Yeah. Oh, dude. I was sitting by the window. I forgot who was there. You know what? During that point, that's where we lost connection back to the studio for a little bit. So, yeah. But it got better.

And God love the engineering staff got everything back up and running. Hang on. I'm going to go to one of our contestants. So we decided to do a twist on the beer mile this year. And we have done it before. You can stay here. We had wanted to have a theme for this. And so we were highlighting Delaware County and all the ups and downs. Delaware County has been through at the beginning of this year. And we called it from poop to Pope.

The Pope versus poop. And the reason being is because we had a woman take a dump on a car and we had a man be elected first American to the papal seat. And he went to Villanova. So he had a connection to Delaware County. So we wanted to commemorate these two things in one event.

And we had a foot race between two people dressed as the Pope and two people dressed as human excrement. And it ended up being a half beer mile, essentially. So each person had to chug. Well, I guess that wasn't a full quarter mile, but anyhow, that they had to run. And the race ended up being great. We actually have our winning Pope on the line right now. So I'm going to go to Todd and bring him up on the air real quick here. Todd, good morning.

Hello. Hey, how you doing, my man? I'm good. Are you basking in your win still? Yeah, definitely. Absolutely. That was an amazing four minutes for sure. So Todd showed up. We had to ask the crowd if there were any runners out there to be a part of this contest. And Todd had volunteered. Todd's actually been in a contest before. You were in another beer mile we did a few years ago, right?

Yeah, it was actually last year. Oh, last year. I came back from the Rolling Stones concert at 2 a.m. in the morning and got there at 6. And then I vividly remember Kathy asking me,

If anyone was a runner and I shot my hand up right away, I'm like, I don't know where all that adrenaline came from, but it was there. Well, of the whole collective, you were the one that clearly looked like a runner. Everyone else, though, listen, no matter how good a runner you are, if you're running in a full pulp outfit, that can present an issue. Did you find it extra difficult to run in or did you master it quickly?

No, I mean, I did think that the garb went all the way to my ankle, so I was a little bit worried about that, but once I got going, I didn't even think about it. And by the way, and I'll attest to this, because I also dressed as a pope later in the show, that costume was...

And I don't mean sexy. Like, I was sweating my ass off by the end of that segment, Todd. I didn't notice that either, honestly. I mean, maybe it was the beer talking. The beer gave you extra strength. Well, speaking of which, was the beer too cold to chug?

Uh, yeah, I heard Ian, um, I, uh, I mean, I, sorry. I heard Ike say that at the end. I didn't notice that. I mean, I was drinking beer. I was fine with it. Well, the great thing is that the post... We had a beer beforehand that you guys gave us, too, and it was about the same. I don't know. We had to warm you up. You guys were drinking out of chalices, and the poops were drinking out of little poop mugs, and it was the classic poop emoji that they were dressed as. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That was another thing. When you guys said backstage, like, who wants to dress up as poop or pope? I'm like, poop, poop, poop. Well, I got to tell you, Todd, you also stood down front for the entire broadcast, and you were a great...

Contestant and a great crowd person. When we were doing the crowd karaoke, you were screaming at the top of your lungs. We got into it. We appreciate that. I remember mostly the 60 Minutes one. You were tick, tick, tick, tick. And she couldn't hear a tick. I'm like, tick! Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Those are themes from shows. Well, you did a great job, man. Congratulations to both you and Ian for being the champions. Thank you so much. It was really fun. Excellent. We'll see you again next year, right? Absolutely. You bet. All right, see you there. Yeah, he was having a ball all morning long. I was so surprised. Is his guy's name Ike or Ian? He said Ike. Ike.

Ike came back and won that thing. He did. Because it certainly looked like he was going to lose. But that's the beauty of that thing. You never know whether it's going to be the poop or the pub that's going to take it. When he said he was a runner, I'm like, he looked more like a football player. But the crowd went insane. When he came running through to win the whole thing, I didn't think they were going to be that into it. But we had a monitor up on the wall that was...

showing the video that these guys running down the street. So everybody inside was full on invested in watching these guys run that thing. And they were just, weren't just zipping in and out. So it ended up being great. That was a, that was a wonderful contest. Nick, who ran out and encountered a seagull? Yeah,

Oh, I think I flew towards the door. Yeah, it was right outside. And right before, there were two funny moments, Steve, that happened right before the runners ran out the door. The seagull landed like literally right outside. And then poor Colin was helping get things set up. And so he's like kind of walking back right in front of the door. And Preston's giving the countdown as to, you know, the race about to begin. I was like, Colin, get out of the way. Colin, Colin, Colin, you got to go. Colin, move. Colin.

And so fortunately, he got out of the way in time. But yeah, it was a tight race, a couple of lead changes, and there's nothing like somebody running in a poop emoji costume. Yeah, and Greg Monahan, former employee here at Greater Media of...

Beasley was one of our contestants. And he, dude, Monaghan was in his glory. He was having so much fun. It was great to see him. He's never been able to participate. Well, you know. Yeah, you're not allowed to if you're an employee. And so he's like, I don't work here anymore. He's like, yeah. So he was on board. That guy brings the party with him. He didn't win, unfortunately. But that was a great contest. And then we had the celebration.

The Seagull Screech Off, of course, actually, was that before that? I don't remember the order. It was before that, yeah. But it was interesting because the person that won is my youngest child's boss's daughter. I had no idea, yeah. Who ended up winning. I found that out later. And I'm telling you, man, I think that, I hope that becomes even bigger and bigger every year because...

I'm blown away by what some of these gals can do as far as their impressions go. It's not a standard. They all have their different riffs, their different impressions. It was kind of funny. It was mostly all women except for one gentleman. And then any time the woman was...

the mention of a boyfriend or husband came up. Oh my God. It was a theme throughout the morning. We had a lot of attractive girls that were there and anytime anyone was up on stage, if it was the first one, I'm like, who are you here with? She's like, I'm here with my husband. And the crowd's like, bleh.

Nick's like, oh, you've got a shot. Because you booed the boyfriend who's not on stage. She now wants to go out with you. Yeah, right. And so we had a few of them. And then eventually I had a girl up there who said she was not...

with her boyfriend or husband, and everybody started cheering. It was a very predictable guy crowd, but it was... I loved it. The blend was terrific, again. It really was. All age groups, and it's just cool to see that, and see that become sort of a tradition for a lot of families. I know it's weird to say that, especially with our final contest. Well...

We had to add some culture to the morning. So Casey came up with an idea of another way to commemorate this woman in Delaware County that had taken a dump on someone's car. It was a global story and you needed to give it its proper due. So we did the Delco Deuce and if you want to see pictures...

Bill Kane captured some pretty special moments of Casey as he was squatting in adult diapers over the faces of volunteers. Volunteers. And Casey was dropping certain substances under their face and they had to identify what it was. And it went through a variety of things like pudding and barbecue sauce and chili, which was my favorite. From my angle, from where I was on stage, it literally, Casey, looked as if you were taking...

dumps on people's faces. Especially, again, Preston, the chili was the one that just... I mean, it is... Thank God they were... And the people were loving it. But I'm like, Jesus Christ, this is as close as you can get. Everybody had a smile on their face. They were all having a good time, which was cool. I was on the ground sort of covering it from a low person's perspective and looking up at Casey's ass as he was dumping this stuff out. And Casey, I don't know what it was, but like

The barbecue sauce smelled so strong. Yeah. And then like that, it just stuck in my nose the entire rest of the morning. Well, it got in Marissa's hair. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, so the plan was, is that we were going to use goggles, regular swimming goggles, and black out the eyes. Yeah. And that way...

Nothing would get in somebody's eyes in case they got some splatter or something like that. Well, Casey Butt went to the dollar store and he bought these glasses that said adult size on them. It said adult! So this is before the show and we're starting to open these things up and I'm like...

These are like children's size. Like they will not fit. And I have a small head, like not even close. Casey managed to squeeze a pair on his eyes. You couldn't, you didn't have them on for five seconds. You had to take them off. They hurt so bad. Yeah, because the rubber around the goggle part was basically like, like,

It was metal. So we're like, oh, great. What are we going to do? And so Marissa grabs some bandanas and they put them over their eyes. And one of the guys got up. I forgot who it was. But he lifts up and he's just got... Or maybe it was a girl.

Barbecue sauce in her eyes. All over the face and in her eyes. She lost her bandana. We gave her a bandana in the back. Oh, yeah. The 10 yards it was from the back to where we were, she lost her bandana. And we tried to get her another one. She's like, no, I'll just put my hands over my eyes. That's right, yeah. That was her solution. It didn't quite work. And then another one of her contestants, I've forgotten her name because she's been involved in our show stuff there before. She's a tall blonde, very, very short blonde hair.

awesome. She was the one who did the chocolate sauce on Casey. I saw her backstage later on and her neck and chin are just covered in chocolate. And we're like, do you want a towel? She's like, hell no, I'm wearing this all day. I'm going around everywhere. This is going to give me free drinks all day. That's hilarious. So,

So it ended up being great. I mean, this is honestly, I think if you have any sort of squeamishness about this sort of stuff, you would watch this and it might make you gag a little bit because it looks exactly like the desired result. Well, when literally the very first person I was squatting over, I'm squatting over getting ready to squeeze some barbecue sauce into her face.

And I just look up and I see Scott from Zippy's Bikes. We just lock eyes. And I was like, oh, boy. Yeah, this is our show. Yeah, this is our show. He's one of our sponsors. He gave us the bikes to give away in case he's like, oh, I'm sorry. He thought it was funny. Well, and I personally, the baptism of beer was the most fun one that I've been involved with. Steve wrote me these great fake Bible passages and call them response to the congregation.

The statements that I made and we dressed me as the Pope because why not? We had a costume and it was and Colin was my mic holder. So he's backstage. He's behind the bar holding up this long boom stick with a with a mic on it, which ended up being great because I could have my hands free and can really dump people.

And it's funny because as I'm pouring beer on people, they either bow their head down or they go straight up with their mouth open. And so I'm just dumping it on everyone. It's like koi fish. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. And the sayings people were getting a kick out of. And then when we got done with it and I threw the last pitcher out, I walked back to the end of the bar that was close to the stage. And I saw all these people. They were looking up at me. And I'm like...

I'm going to crowd surf. I'm like, you know, why not? I'm like, I haven't done this in, I don't know, I think I've only done it one time. I'm like, screw it. And so I just, I didn't...

stage dive. I wasn't going to take people out, you know, 185 pounds come flying at them. So I just kind of laid down and I'm like, carry me! And I didn't have a mic at that time. And I hear you guys talking and it wasn't until I slowly surfaced out in front of here and go, Nick! And Nick goes, Preston's crowd's out there! I didn't

No. And it was. No, you seem to disappear. And then we look over to the left and you're like supermanning it across the crowd. And you disappeared from my field of vision altogether. And it wasn't until you announced that I'm crowd surfing that I saw you coming across my field of vision from my left to my right. And here's the thing. I kept seeing large gaps where there weren't anybody. Everybody.

Get over here. Because I was going to take a header into the ground if there weren't people to carry me. But that ended up being one of the thrills of...

that this old man has had. How many times did your nutsack get grabbed? Not at all, really. It was actually, it was not uncomfortable in any way. They were very respectful, and the boys did not get tweaked, and I had a nice ride from one end of the stage to the other. So awesome. It was a blast. Such a great group, such a lot of fun, and again, listen, it's, as you said, it's been a tough couple of months leading up to this, but this was a nice ride,

Nice moment to share with everyone. Yeah, and a lot of traditions that we hold every Memorial Day with this. And I do want to thank our friend Mike from Steak'Em Up. There are two locations, by the way. Because, hey, Mike, can we get $1,000 to give away? He's like, yeah, sure, no problem. And he does that every year for us. So Steak'Em Up is located at 26...

South 11th Street in Philadelphia. And then they're also on the boardwalk, 1700 in the boardwalk. So basically 17th in the boardwalk in North Wildwood. And thanks to Surfing Pig for hosting us afterwards for a little breakfast. I went to eat this time. There were a lot of people there. That were at the broadcast or were fans of the shows who were hanging out talking to a bunch of people. It was a lot of fun. And then the Zippy's winners. Brian Eccles. Posting all weekend, right? Yeah.

Thank God. He and his girlfriend are both cyclists. They didn't have beach cruisers. They have road bikes and mountain bikes and stuff like that. They needed something for their beach house. This is perfect for them. How did they win those bikes? What was the contest for that? QR code. That's so cool. They have a place in Ocean City. It's perfect. They got bikes for their beach house, which is wonderful. The whole weekend, I stayed down in Wildwood.

And, man, we had talked about this leading up to it. The police presence was quite prevalent. They were ready to shut down everything. I saw a record number of people either getting pulled over or, you know, the police were either just had their presence. But I saw flashing lights all over the place. And Mariska, Marissa was asking, you know, did I think it was...

Was there more activity or was it just people, they were kind of sending a message and I think it was the police kind of sending a message with anybody speeding or doing anything that was a little bit out of line. They were kind of nipping it in the bud before it got further. Making a statement? We did see, we saw somebody get detained on Saturday when we walked up to the boardwalk, me and my family. Okay.

and like literally taken away in handcuffs. And we saw a foot chase where with cops, you know, with their hands on their weapons and stuff. And I don't know exactly what happened there. We never found anything on social media about it. Uh, but they, uh, they were cracking down and, and we saw lots of, which is fine with me. I mean, because you want,

You want to have a good time. You don't want things to get out of hand. No. And they did. And was it Seaside? What did they have? Oh, yeah. They had a huge... Seaside Heights. Seaside Heights. They had like a big ball. Like a 70-person ball. Oh, really? Yeah. So that was reminiscent of what was happening in Wildwood last year. But...

But yeah, it ended up being solid. Marissa, you look like you have the mic there. Well, yeah. So I was lucky enough to go out to Denver this weekend. I stayed in down the shore on Friday, woke up. I actually went to Pierre and Ryan's broadcast over at Tropicana. That was great. Then woke up super early Saturday morning. Anyway, the reason I wanted to tell you guys was because so I'm talking to all the bartenders at the shambles and all of like these regulars out there. And suddenly they're like, wait.

wait, what are you doing? Philadelphia looks really cool. Like I think all of a sudden, like their algorithm was getting our videos and all the moments from Kenan's. So they're like, wait, why? Why was he dropping barbecue sauce on somebody's face? And I'm like, so they're unaware moments and all. So, um, so guys, we have infiltrated Denver. Broadcast. Happy to hear that.

But yeah, it was stay in the weekend. It didn't seem, I don't know, Casey, you stayed down the weekend too. It didn't seem as crowded as I thought it would be. No, because I got out on my bike for a couple of different times and there have been other Memorial Days, usually when I get my training started, where I'm like, okay, I'm just dodging cars left and right. And I didn't feel like... Wow, because I'll tell you this...

Because I managed to cut... I was not quite feeling quite right stomach-wise. Yeah. And so I said, how the hell? I'm just going to take off. And I made record time coming back. But going the other way, it was much more populated than I recall it in years past. It was jamming up...

far earlier than I anticipated. Yeah, the hotels in and around my area didn't seem as jam-packed as they have been in the past. Yeah, Steve, I was driving back up and traffic heading down seemed pretty heavy, seemed normal for Memorial Day weekend or whatever. I was telling you guys this before. I've really...

come to love being up here for Memorial Day weekend because you can get into a restaurant much more easily. You don't have to wait in line anywhere. There's a lot less traffic on the roads in our area. And it was just nice and quiet near where I live this weekend. And I really enjoyed that a lot. Although I went to Lowe's yesterday because I'm working on this project with my son. And Lowe's was absolutely...

Absolutely jammed. Was it really? Yeah, yeah. It was a ton of people there. But, um, yeah, it was just, it seems like, uh, smaller crowds around, uh, here for Memorial Day weekend. How long did you, did you leave right after the show? Yeah, yeah. I had to get back up for some, uh, for some personal stuff. That's right. So I drove back up, uh,

But it didn't take long. I stopped at Wawa on the way out of Wildwood. You know that North Wildwood, there's that Wawa on the left-hand side. Always a go-to. Yes, yeah. I got a cup of coffee and hit the road. But Sean Keenan, Scott's brother, was in that Wawa. So we chatted for a little bit. And then I hit the road. But yeah, it was like...

Less than two hours getting back up is really not bad driving home at all. I mean, record time getting back. I mean, an hour and 45 minutes, I think it was. Did you hear how long it took Paula Decker from our sales department to get down on Thursday? No. It was like three and a half hours. Jesus. How long it took my family to get down? About three hours and five minutes. On Thursday? Yeah, on Thursday. Yeah, because Paula left

here during rush hour at like 5 o'clock or whatever, it took her an hour just to get over the bridge. Getting back took me over three hours yesterday. Yesterday? Yeah. Do you ever do the morning? Do you ever do like Tuesday morning on Memorial Day weekend? I have done, you know, to come straight to work. Yeah, yeah. I've done it a couple of times, but to do that, I have to get up at 2.30. Yeah. That's too damn early, man. Yep.

But no traffic. Yeah, but I'd rather get some sleep and I'd rather, you know... Well, you can sleep while you're driving. I could. Well, I just waited yesterday. So I didn't... I was going to hit the road at like 7. I ended up hitting the road about 7.30. It only took us about two hours and five, six minutes to get home. You can wait it out. Yeah. For sure. I'd rather do that. Yeah, we decided to... I wanted to get back home and get some stuff done and some things around our house. So I'm like, ah, screw it. No.

I'll need to go earlier next time. Because I left around like 12.30 or something along those lines. Overall, but that beautiful weekend though. Oh my God. Really wonderful. And back here at Nick, I did the same. I was staying here and just, it was kind of quiet, laid back and did some hiking with Claire and it was great. Hey, was it crazy windy here on Saturday? Yes. Yeah. Because it was insane down at the beach. It was, yesterday we didn't even go to the beach.

Okay, yeah, yeah. Yesterday was perfect outside. I was outside doing yard work and stuff a lot yesterday, but I don't know if it was crazy windy, but I don't know. Yeah, Saturday was brutal. So we had wanted to, all right, we're here. We're going to go to the beach. It was like, nope, do not think so. I judged by my heaviest patio furniture. That's my meter. And so I had to lay a few things down because, yeah. And that's an indicator. They were blowing over. Yeah, big time. But we did it again. And you're invited back next year if you'd like to be a part of it. Yes. We will return for the carnage that is.

the opening of the Jersey Shore and Kenan's in North Wildwood, New Jersey. All the pictures and video that you can handle is at PrestonAndSteve.com.

Before we dive into anything else real quick, I got a couple of shout-outs that I missed. I want to pass these along. I got this from Denise Antonelli. She said, Dear Preston, I turned 70.

Whoa. On May 24th. And as that approaches, I'm looking back and forward and counting my blessings. So I'm writing to not request a shout out for myself, but one for the biggest blessings in my life. My daughter, Shay, and my daughter, Jordan, and her husband, Terrence, and my granddaughters, Casella and Anika. They've given me more happiness than any one person deserves. And I love them to pieces. Also, if I may, a quick shout out to Nick.

partly inspired by his travels later this summer. I'm taking a three-week train trip across the country and will be visiting, among other things, three national parks. Thanks, Nick. And finally, I admire the way you honored Kathy, miss her, and love you all. She said, P.S., we're all podcasters in addition to live listeners, so whenever you can get to this is just fine. So a couple shards there if you don't mind, Steve, for family and friends and Nick and all that.

I had a bit of an email correspondence with her. She's doing Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Glacier National Park. Those are some good ones. Three really good ones, yeah. So if you're going to cross any off your list, those are three good ones to start. And she's doing train for a lot of it. So good luck. Have a wonderful time in your travels. I don't know why I'm going to bring this up here, but it's the coolest thing. Did you see the footage of Papua New Guinea? I think there was a volcanic eruption. People out on the ocean. You saw a case? I did.

And so you see the volcano erupts, and the captain of this vessel says, get ready. Get ready for the impact. Oh, that's old. Is that old? It's been around for at least 10 years or more. I never saw it. It blew my mind. Yeah, he goes, get ready for the shock. It's coming. Yeah. And then, wham! Yeah, wham! If you watch that closely, too, you can also see...

huge, like, car-sized chunks of debris... Oh, I didn't see that. ...landing in the water. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. There was also a big eruption at Kilauea over the weekend. It said it shot...

a thousand feet into the air? I don't doubt that at all. That's crazy. It just made me think of it because this woman was having a 70th birthday party. Oh, yeah, sure. Absolutely. Sure. All right, and then one last thing. Another email I got says, Nick Summers, they wanted a shout-out in New Holland, PA. Nick Summers, an anniversary shout-out for the two loves of my life. Oh, he's requesting a shout-out. May 25th, shout-out number one goes, my first love, Star Wars. All right.

This franchise has been there for all of the ups and downs of my life and has thankfully kept me in debt with its incredible action figures throughout the years. Shout out number two, he said, goes to my true love of my life, lovely wife, Uriah. Behind Star Wars. Thanks to her, I'm alive. And she said, this year was our first MMRBQ. And wow, what a show Bush and Mammoth were for us. Just amazing. Thank you, guys. And keep on rocking Nick Summers. Nick Summers is a cool kind of...

Agent name. Yeah. Agent Nick Summers. Hey, something we failed to mention when we were recapping the weekend, there was a lot of stuff going on here, even though Nick was saying that things seemed a little bit more easier and slower tempo. There were some high-profile events that were going on at the sports complex. Huge. You had two shows from Metallica.

And you had Jelly Roll and Post Malone playing together at Citizens Bank Park. As a matter of fact, because Metallica bookended that, they play Friday and Sunday where Post Malone and Jelly Roll did Saturday. And I was texting with Kathy because she was at the Post Malone and Jelly Roll concert. And she said that Metallica was in the suite next to her. What?

Wow. That is wild. Wait, did anybody see Ryan, producers, pictures of Metallica and James? Ryan, you should come in and show these guys. I don't know where he is. Come into the studio, Ryan. Ryan, to the air studio. Ryan Shuttleworth. There he is. Ryan Shuttleworth. Show press in the photo you just showed me of James Hetfield. No Zoom. No Zoom.

Oh, wow. That's how close you were? Yeah. Wow. Wound up in what this little area called the Snake Pit. Wow. Their entire stage is shaped like a giant donut. And inside of that donut is a separate little stage that somehow got my way into. And it was a religious experience for me. They're my absolute favorite band. And yeah, it was a, I have no voice because of it.

I'm a grown man that cried in a heavy metal pit and I'm mad enough to admit it. So it was a really fun night. That's an incredible proximity to, you've seen them before, obviously. Yeah, that was probably my dozenth show. How

How would you rank it? Top of the list. Top of the list. Best concert ever. Best concert ever. Wow. It was quite moving. Did you see the footage of James? It was technically backstage as right before Metallica was about to take stage. And you sort of forget like...

These people are human, right? And he's about to take stage in front of 80,000 people. And he needs to bring it. So you can just see him getting into the zone. Focused. I'm really good. Mental preparation. I am so good. I'm really good at this. I got this. I can do this. I can sing. I can play guitar. Let's go.

Good. So best concert ever. And so, Ryan, you cried a little bit. You shed a tear. I did. Is that awesome? That actually leads to a pretty good conversation about have you ever cried at a concert? I cried at the Last Fish concert. Really? Yeah. Okay. It's a song called Monsters. It's a really pretty song. It's so funny because my friends that I was with, thank God, they thought it was a bathroom song. And I was like, are you sure? Because when

You sure about that? Because when it gets back, you know, to the end of the song and the, you know, Trey makes his guitar sing, like it's absolutely positively worth every second of it. And they all left and thank God they did because I sobbed like a baby. Wow. Yeah. Were you melodically what he was playing? Musically, lyrically. Uh, I just, it all psychedelically. Were you tearing up? Oh, no, no. It was a cry. Oh, okay. It was a cry. The one that got me, uh,

and I didn't full on sob or anything like that but I definitely shed a little bit of tear was Paul McCartney when he played at the Wells Fargo Center and it was the opening song and he plays eight days a week and I'm like I couldn't believe it I'm like I just I can't believe I'm seeing this this is oh my god this is incredible and I got all weepy yes yes you are seeing this and you cry like a bitch yeah

I got all weepy. I couldn't believe it. Like, unexpected. Totally hit me. How would you ever anticipate? I mean, you're seeing a Beatle. Yeah. Sing that song. Again, those are the moments, and either you get that, you get that emotion, or you don't. Yeah. But I can completely understand. I think I cry at every concert I go to at this point. Honestly, like, I just, I'm a weepy little bitch at this point in my life, and I don't care. I love feeling those emotions.

And sometimes it's the people that you're with that you don't get to spend enough time with. Sometimes it's the music. Sometimes it's the drugs and the alcohol. It's just a combination of all of it. And like when, when I get to that moment, I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful that I'm able to like let those emotions out and just enjoy it. And on a,

pure, emotional, visceral level. It makes me happy. Nick, I feel the same way because not only this is my absolute favorite band, I took one of my childhood best friends with me that some of my fondest memories, like we would sit in his basement and listen to Metallica records and just have the time of our lives and getting to celebrate it with him was one of those reasons that

Man, it was just, I felt complete at that moment. That's how I felt when I was center row for Van Helsing's Curse, Dee Snider. Oh, Dee Snider, when he did that, you are sure. I mean, I thought I was in Transylvania. It was amazing. Now, actually, what did it last time I recall really tearing up was Peter Gabriel doing So, the full album. It was amazing. Oh,

So how was traffic getting out of there? A nightmare. Yeah. Oh, so Sunday night, I had all these grandiose plans like, all right, we're going to go back into the city. We're going to continue the adventure. I was probably stuck in the parking lot for close to two hours. I turned my car off. I walked over to live and said, I'll have a beverage. And then I just kept meandering out to see how traffic was. And it was just like two hours.

full hours. I'm like, all right, I think this was my evening. You had an out-of-body experience so you were able to process it a little bit, right? I tried to. I don't think I processed it fully yet. I'm still kind of shaky and weepy and that'll be, it'll happen later on. Man, traffic in that area. Listen, we've said it many times before and either you...

I mean, if you've ever been stuck in something, you just say, okay, I guess I'm living here for a while. Direct my mail to this location. Ryan, did you go to both shows? I did. I was there at both shows. Okay. And how magical was the first show? It was, the whole thing was quite surreal. Like that was the first time I was ever in this area. I've only ever dreamt of being in this little kind of pit area, the snake pit. The donut hole. The donut hole. They should rename that. And just, it was like, no, this isn't happening.

Nah, this isn't. And then they come out and it's just like, oh, blank. It really is happening. It's kind of doing that and trying to anticipate what's next because they're doing a no-repeat weekend. So whatever you're hearing that first night, you're not going to hear again. Like, you know, Master of Puppets closed out the first night. Guess what? You need to be in here for the second. So did you, were you in the location, same location for both shows? Both shows. I was in the same booth. Dude, I mean, that's pretty frigging awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

Did they have any surprise covers or anything interesting that was out of the ordinary? Second night, they did Whiskey in the Jar, which was really cool to hear. From the first night, the big surprise, they opened the encore with this really thrashy song called Fight Fire with Fire, which you don't really get to see too, too often, but...

It was just a really fun night celebrating with people around you. I mean, making friends with everybody who's traveled in or listened to the station even. Which night did Josh Groban come out for? Oh, I believe that was in between the first and second night. So how many studio albums does Metallica have?

How many songs do they have in there? Oh, God. It's close to a dozen, I believe. Okay. I mean, they could do this for an entire week and not run out of songs. They really could. What's funny about, and I hate to always bring it back to Phish, but Phish did 13 Nights at Madison Square Garden. Right. It called the Baker's Dozen. Steve, they didn't repeat one song in 13 days.

Consecutive Nights at Madison Square Garden. They actually just played once. And Metallica had commented on it. They were in an interview or something like that. And James was like, yeah, they did this. Like 13 nights. And they're like, not one repeat? As much of a fan as you are, do you think if you were to go that deep cut in a Phish concert, would you still love it? Oh, yeah. No doubt. In fact, I would still know...

I mean, 13 nights, I would probably venture to say I would be able to pick out 98% of those songs. Maybe even more. Ryan, was it Limp Bizkit both nights? No, so it was different openers too. So night number one, it was Ice Nine Kills and Limp Bizkit. And Limp Bizkit said it was pouring. It was, I mean, their DJ equipment got ruined. They played break stuff twice, so they did some repeats. So they were night number one. Night number two was Suicidal Tendencies and Pantera.

Wait, Limp Bizkit did break stuff twice? They played it twice. In one set? In one set. So there's your repeat. And then didn't a kid come up and play guitar for, did they do Faith? Oh yeah, that's right. Okay. I was trying to go get a beer at that point, to be honest with you. So I'm going to go, yes, that's true. And so what did you think of the opening, guys? I mean, did they all do great? Everything was just, I think it was the best sounding stadium show I've seen. Because sometimes, you know, there's some kind of,

I'm not sure how this is going to sound because it doesn't necessarily translate to a football stadium. But I mean, this was a surround experience. It was unbelievable. There's an old saying, it's no roof, no rock. Exactly. But apparently they pulled it off. They figured out that arena because, that stadium, because the U2 concert and the Rolling Stones, you know, more in the past couple of years, they're going to be playing

sounded pretty damn good. And that's, you just kind of say, consign yourself to the fact that you're not going to really hear it if you're going to go to something this sprawling. But I think they got it figured out. How were the pyrotechnics? Oh, it was, I mean, standing in the middle of all the flames going off, it was a little chillier and I was like, okay, this is nice now. The fire will warm me up. This is good. But yeah, so I mean, you can see- Hey James, did the fire warm you up? Oh my God. So they had, you know, all these different like towers that showed everything. I mean, every seat in the house was,

Got to hear and got to see this band at their absolute best. Ah, it's so cool. Nice. Yeah. And you guys had full concert coverage of it going on with Pierre? Oh, God, yeah. We have some audio that we're working on. Okay. And so there was a pop-up shop as well somewhere. It was like 23rd and Chuncher where you can get exclusives up.

so i nabbed for every city they have an exclusive vinyl pressing of their latest record 72 seasons um and i have it next door and it's uh kelly green actually so it's really wicked so when you were at the link did you see any of the setup for post malone and jelly roll across the street which was saturday night oh i didn't get it i didn't venture that far okay i i saw some of the uh stuff on social media it was

pretty wild as well. Yeah, it's just a packed night of stadium shows this past weekend and I saw, I think it was Post Malone brought out Allen Iverson. Was it Post Malone or Jelly Roll? One of them brought out Allen Iverson. It was Post Malone. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's cool. And hang on, so as that concert was going on, that was Saturday night, was Barry Manilow at the Wells Fargo Center? Yes. Okay. Well,

But, yes. A lot of crossover between those audiences. He's in his 80s. How old is he? I don't know. I don't know. My sister was at the show. Barry Manilow. This is his farewell tour, right? That's the whole conceit here. It might have been. I think that's it. He's 81. 81. He was moving around, man. Gotta give him credit. Now every time I hear Barry Manilow, I think of road trip. Wait, Barry's last name is Manilow? Yeah.

That was Tom Green's character. Yeah. Barry Manilow. Yeah, so, well, clearly, huge, huge weekend at the sports complex. Yeah, we're watching video now of A.I.,

And Post Malone bringing him out on stage. The crowd went nuts, by the way, Preston, for the Manilow concert when 2 Live Crew opened up. Wow. This is such a flashback. Special reunion for the Barry Manilow show. I think he came out for Face Down, Ass Up, Steve. They were staying on one together. Barry Manilow did? Yeah, yeah, for Face Down, Ass Up. I'm very excited to have these next fellows on the stage. If you're a fan of having your face down and your ass up, I think you know who I'm bringing out. Uh,

Man. I'm a Manilow fan. I'm not going to jump in here and say that. Yes, I do like Barry Manilow as well. Especially Copacabana. What are we listening to? Is this Too Loud, Curl? Wow. I'm sure, yes, getting in and out

of that area all weekend long had to have been just a pleasure for everybody involved. Yeah, no thanks. You know, it sort of psychologically kicks off. We're moving into a time where we're going to have some of the biggest events in the world occurring right here. And concert-wise for this summer season, it's looking pretty amazing. Yeah, we had talked about all the summer events. It's going to be a big deal. Hang on a second. Chaz wants to comment on the Metallica show real quick. Hey, Chaz, you're on the air. Good morning, bud.

Hey, man, I went to both nights, and I was in the 200s, and the sound was awful. The acoustics are terrible. You can't sound in every direction. It was all echo. You couldn't hear James' lyrics. It was better on Sunday. Sunday was a great show, but Friday was terrible. Worst concert I've ever been to. Well, do me a favor. Compare it to what the sound was like for Manilow. Oh, man.

He's amazing. He's the man. There we go. He's a legend. No, you know what? It happens sometimes, Chaz. You can, and in fact, it was a Guns N' Roses show. Yes. That we heard, depending on where you sat, whether or not you were getting a decent experience or not. It was clearly designed for the lower level. Yeah. No, I think you're right. Thanks, Chaz. Yeah.

Yeah, and well, all you got to do is end up like Ryan Shuttleworth and get down in the snake pit twice. Right this way, Mr. Shuttleworth. That's all you have to do. And is this your childhood friend? It's not real. It didn't happen. I'm still waiting to wake up. It didn't happen. I need to figure out who's, I'm going to name all of my future children to whomever I need to owe all this to. Seriously, it's not real. Where did Pierre sit?

He was with me on the second night. Okay. I think he went to Manilow on Saturday and then Metallica. Really? That seems like a PR weekend. It certainly is. So he was with me on Sunday. Manilow and Metallica. Ooh.

It's all rock and roll, isn't it? I'm taking care of the M's. Is there any truth to this? Somebody had texted in and says Post Malone has a song called White Iverson. Yes. I think that was his first single. That makes total sense. Is that like Iverson's ritzy cousin from France? White Iverson. I don't really know. Like Stefan? Yeah.

Completely different character, same person. So are we going to start doing Mandatory Manilow? That'd be great. Mandatory Manilow. I love it. The thing is, if you look at him, he has not had any work done. No, man, it's all natural. Oh, my God. He looks like a falcon. When is the playback with Wolfgang? This Thursday, starting at high noon, so it'll take up the whole workforce block, so it'll be a lot of fun. Okay, excellent. Thank you, Ryan Shuttleworth. Thank you, Dan.

for concert coverage here on MMR and hopefully you got a chance to get out. We gave away plenty of tickets for that show, which was pretty cool as well. So I was happy that it ended up being a great show. I wonder how the other events went. The bowling thing that we were a part of. Was there a screening or...

There were a couple of things. Just a whole Metallica immersion. We had an event with Kirk Hammett. And yeah. With the bus driver. Well, with the staff, I guess, if you will. So, hold on. Marissa's bringing in a note. Let's see what it says. What is this?

What is it? I don't know. It's a sticker. It says, what the F is a squindo. I don't know what that means. I don't know. That's cute, Marissa. What is it? That is the person that Sarah interviewed. Sarah Parker interviewed this guy at the Fillmore, and he's the one that does all of Metallica's art. That does all their posters and t-shirts and things like that. The squindo and Patrick and Spongebob. Yeah.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's close. It's close. They volunteered to fill abundance too. The Metallica crew of people. Oh, that's cool. Did a blood drive. Yeah. There was a time when Metallica looked like that train was pulling in and it was going to be over. Or at least they were going to hit their level and just kind of stay at that. And then they came roaring back. I mean, they're on top of the world. Yeah.

By the way, as an offshoot of this conversation, I saw this article this morning and it's essentially it discusses how spending money on certain things can make you happy because there's, you know.

Whether or not money can buy happiness or not is a, you know, money can't buy me love is the old saying right from the Beatles. But this woman, happiness researcher, her name is Jessica Weiss. And she says that actually, yes, it can absolutely buy happiness, but only some purchases trigger it. And the reason I bring this up is number one on her list is lockdowns.

Live music. It's paying to go see a concert. That money is actually money well spent because of what it does for you mentally. I agree 100%. The communal nature of all of it, the catharsis, it's an escape for a couple of hours. If it's a band that you love or it's a band that you even just like and maybe you're going to like them a little bit more when you're done with the show. To me, I hope to do that until the day I die. Go to as many concerts as I possibly can. Travel to see bands that I love.

I can't say how much it means to me. And I alluded to it earlier. But when the emotions start flowing, it used to be something that was mildly embarrassing to me. And now I love it. I can't get enough of it. It's hard for me to perform unless I see Nick out in the audience. Hell yeah. Hey, man. What's up, brother? I love you, bro. I love you, too. Absolutely. I miss you. I should have put you in the donut hole.

I had a lady who messaged me over Instagram a couple weeks ago and she's like, you talk about Pearl Jam too much. Casey talks about fish too much. Shut up! We love these things. I'm going to talk about the things that I love. Preston loves Rush. Steve had a great time at the So concert with Peter Gabriel. We work at a freaking rock station. Shut your damn hole, lady. I see you're processing it well. I've lost a little bit of the fire for it. I have some extenuating circumstances because I have my hearing issue and it is not...

uh, as enjoyable as it used to be for me because I have to wear earplugs. I was just going to ask. You get a muffled sound. It's not the same experience. And I'm always tempted to pull them out. And I do a little bit and I know I'm, I'm doing damage to something that I need longterm, my hearing. And it's unfortunate because there was, and I've told you this before, when I would pull up to a venue that at a concert that I was excited to go see, uh,

It made me want to poop. It made me want to actually take a dump. I would get, my bowels would loosen up. I would get so excited. I kid you not. Like I would get butterflies in my stomach and I can't wait to get in there and get this going on. Would you call it nervousness? A little bit of excitement.

Excitement, really. Nerve poops? Excitement poops. Yeah. To that point, when you're at a show, and to your point, Nick, when you're there, and it's the whole... And you, Casey, as well, and Bobby and Cindy listening at home, and that little boy in the hospital hopes I talk about it. When the artist walks out on stage, there's like...

And it never goes away, especially if it's an artist you've been a fan of for a while. It never goes away. But that's what I was mentioning earlier, watching James Hetfield get...

in a zone for this show. To me, that hit so hard because I'm like, this matters to him. Do you know what I mean? He's not up there phoning it in. And so many of the artists that I love, they're not just going and collecting a paycheck. They love what they do. They love what they're doing for themselves first, and then everybody else second. I love that. Not to take anything away from that, but

As you age, it gets a little harder and you've got to go, okay, man, I hope I can bring it tonight. I have to go to the bathroom. God, do I have to take a dump? Rod will be out in just a minute, ladies and gentlemen. He's in the bathroom. But he's really going to melt your butter just like he's melting the porcelain in that toilet. Oh, my God. By the way, Rod Stewart's at The Man. We were talking about him earlier this morning, July 12th. And you know who's opening for him? Cheap Trick. Cheap Trick.

Oh, yeah. That's kind of a fun bill. You know, I'm a massive fan of The Faces, you know, the earlier stuff that he did. And I don't know, he had the longest run doing the American Songbook. That was his thing, which was received well. By the way, somebody texted in a nice sentiment, and I thought this was, it kind of sums this up. It says, life is short, buy the tickets. Yeah.

That's the thing I need to do more. I don't, you know, because I have my, what I do is I taxidermy mice and I put them in little shadow boxes. Oh, yeah, little vignettes. That's a cute idea. So anyhow, I have a hobby, man. This is from Glengarry Glen Ross. This, uh,

this life happiness researcher said, going to a concert and belting out your favorite songs with thousands of strangers can be a true mood-boosting experience. Singing together releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone, and endorphins that create a buzzy feeling of connection in the crowd known as collective effervescence. Couldn't agree. Anytime you can make a hormone is... Research also shows that group singing lowers...

cortisol levels cortisol levels and uh creates a feeling of belonging that can last after the end of the show marissa was saying she was seeing uh pictures and videos of metallica show and she's like man i really missed out on going to them like you a big metallica fan she's like no not really i just wanted to go to because everybody looked like you were having a good time what you just said actually one of the moments i will always remember and i was with my wife claire we were at uh at that time what was it would have been the tweeter i don't know

But anyway, out on the lawn watching Tom Petty.

And the entire group around me, all different ages, knew every word to every song. And it was wonderful. So, yes, I can see those endorphins being released because it's a communal thing. I think about this stuff far too often, way too often. Too much time of my life is consumed about these thoughts. That's a magical experience, Steve. Tom Petty wrote that song 40 years ago. Yeah.

Who knew whether or not it was going to become a hit? And then it did. And then it landed on enough ears that enough people bought those records that he was able to do what he was able to do. And then he's at that show that night and everybody in the audience knows that song because they've heard it a thousand times. The amount of ingredients that go into that stew to make that moment happen, that's insane. The chances of those things happening are insane. And yet it still does. And if you don't enjoy that, if you can't appreciate that, you're missing out on life.

Agreed. All right, let me go to Yvette. Hi, Yvette. You're on the air. Good morning. Good morning. Hi, guys. Sorry to bother you at work. It's okay. All right, Yvette. What's up?

I, uh, money well spent. So this past month, I am in a place in my life now where my life is rock festivals and motorcycle rallies. So in the past two weeks, I started out with the M&M BBQ. And by the way, oh my God, it was fantastic. Ah.

There were friends and family. Bush blew the roof off the place. Probably best performance I've ever seen from them. And the same with Three Days Grace. Then I drove to Florida with my daughter, met family and friends down there. We did Rockville, four days, over 100 degrees on the racetrack every day.

Throwback and then Metallica both nights. Wow. Needless to say, yesterday I was exhausted. Yeah. So would your advice, I assume you're going to align with what Preston was saying, this author said, buy the tickets, go for it. Buy the ticket. Buy the ticket, go. Absolutely. Pierre says it all the time. You never know. There's times where

I've seen bands where I didn't know, like I would go, like even at Rockville, I went and checked out bands that I normally would not go to and absolutely enjoyed it. Like Sublime was fantastic. I don't think I would go to a Sublime show. You know, you're raising a good point. And it's something that I've had to retrain myself to do, which is because a lot of times I'm sort of a homebody, you know, but, um,

oh, what if I go and it's a pain in the ass? And I have to remind myself, but there are times you go when it's great. But the only way to find out is to simply go. And so, you know, you're no worse for the wearer if you don't have a particularly great time. But if you miss out on a great time, what a loss. So, yeah, very cool for you that you're doing this. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Metallica was, I've seen them many, many times.

many times from every year, from when they were underground all the way to this past weekend. This Sunday night was probably the best performance I've ever seen. That's what Ryan said. Thanks. Appreciate it, Yvette. Have you seen, so Preston, okay, I'll throw this at you now. Best concert in the moment, you know you're seeing

the band at their height or the performer at their height. What would you put at the top besides the... Would it be the Eagles again? No, no, no. It was the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over tour. I was sitting there. I'm like, this sounds...

unbelievable right i've never heard a band sound sharper um and uh the the second one which was my number one for the longest time was uh 1987 joshua tree tour you too uh because what i saw happening in front of me i was like oh my god yeah this is um this is super special this is not this is not normal this is amazing every song is is incredible and i'd um

That was, I think it was the first time I had seen you two. And that blew me away. And I never missed them after that. What about you? Courtney Stodd. Oh my God, that first song. Where is she now? The Genesis concert at the Nassau Coliseum. They did the In the Cage medley live, which is one of my favorite pieces. And I was like, okay, here we go. I guess I'm going to see God now. Wow.

Hang on a second. I want to go to Chris. He's only been to one concert. Hi, Chris. You're on the air. Good morning. How are you doing? Good. What's up, Chris?

Wow. It's the expense that keeps it prohibited for you, right?

Yeah, yeah. I grew up listening to Black Sabbath, like my dad's vinyl records and stuff like that growing up, so. Do you think, I mean, honestly, is there, would you like to get back to it? You'd like to see more shows? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I would love to take my wife to see more concerts and things like that, but like, you know, with kids and stuff and work, it's really hard. Yeah, no, I hear you. Absolutely, especially if you need to make ends meet. I mean, the tickets alone are...

are pricey, but beyond that, parking and food and all the things you add on top of that make it a healthy expenditure. My dad wanted to go to the last Rolling Stones concert because that was his first concert he went to. He's a Rolling Stones fanatic. As soon as he realized that tickets were like $250, he was like, that's like my insulin. Wow. You need your insulin. You're not going to flip a coin on that one.

Exactly. Yeah, no, you raise a good point, man. All right, thanks, Chris. Appreciate it. Hope you can get out some more shows sometime soon, my man. Hang on, I'm going back to the Metallica show. I'm going back to the Metallica show. Whoa, hi, Dan, you're on the air. Good morning, buddy. Good morning, buddy.

Good morning, guys. Can you hear me all right? Yeah. I can hear me, too, which is pretty wild. Pretty wild. Okay. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm moving. I've got to get off the phone. I'll say this real quick. They played their instrumentals, and they sounded amazing. I was on the first level, so I could hear them so well. We were really close.

All right. Yeah. Yeah. If you were close and absolutely. All right. Thanks, bud. You know, you got to run. You know, you got to run. And I'm tired of hearing my voice in the background. So it's kind of cool to hear what you sound like. Yeah. Hey, I'm on the radio. Hey, I'm on the radio. But yeah, he had different seats in the building and probably better. But hang on. We got more people commenting on the sound. I'm going to go to Ryan. Hey, Ryan. Good morning. Morning. Yeah. What's up, bud?

First time listener, long time caller. First time listener, long time caller. Well, thank you for that. Ryan, go ahead with your comment, bud. It's my first time seeing Metallica. They were absolutely amazing on both nights. It was in the 200 level. Great sound quality. I loved it.

It just was amazing. So, Ryan, the consensus is that if you're in the lower levels, the sound was really good. And then up a little bit higher, things get problematic. But you're here to say, yeah, that's what you experienced. Yeah. I had notes. You could hear it fine in the 200 levels where I was.

No issues. Okay. Well, take your word for it, Ryan. Thanks, bud. Appreciate it. And it can depend on not just what level you're in, but like what area of the entire stadium, what quadrant, what portion of it. They can't, you know, they haven't perfected getting the sound to everywhere equally as great as it's...

you know, can be, but... You guys have a favorite venue in Philly for acoustics or, you know, rock shows or anything like that? Spectrum. Yeah, Spectrum was pretty great. I like the Wells Fargo Center a lot. I like seeing shows there. The acoustics and the sound is pretty damn good. That's right, so-so. Okay, yeah. So the... Have you guys been to the Met? Yeah. Yeah. That's really good. Yeah. It's spectacular.

I haven't... Yeah, Nick, I don't have a, oh man, I'm not going there because the sound sucks type of experience. Everywhere has always been pretty decent. I actually did tell you, this MMRBQ, we were too busy the whole time, but last year...

I went up onto the lawn and went towards the back and I realized I did not have to wear my earplugs and I could hear a nice clean mix. So that is an option for me. The trade-off is you don't get as good a view as you don't maybe. Right.

and it's not as comfortable sitting on the ground, but it's all your preference. Some people love being up on the lawn. They prefer that whole communal experience and sitting on the ground or onto a blanket or whatever. I like The Man. I think The Man is a great venue, and I think that I've seen a number... Statistically, I've probably seen more shows there

Than anywhere else. You know what I went to for the first time last week? The Sellersville Theater. I'd never been there. What'd you think? And it's not far from where I live either. It was awesome. It's a great old room. This really cool classic theater. It's small. It's smaller than these venues we're talking about. But I went to see my youngest rock band from Southerton High School. And it was by far the best they've ever sounded. So the room is made. Lends itself.

for live music. Cool. That was pretty cool. So I'm still checking out some venues from time to time. But I've been, yeah, to the Met and to the Fillmore. Do you know what has surprisingly good... All of them. TLA. Madison Square Garden. Decent sound? It has very good sound. It does. You know, acoustically, and it's known...

you know, among the bigger touring acts. I mean, that's right, Billy Joel was there for so long. Yeah, it was the best concert I've ever seen was there. Which was Fish? Yeah. Of course. Of course. This set, it was December 29, 2018. I'll never forget it. The second set is the, I think, the greatest set in rock and roll history. Do you have a recording of that? Yeah, in fact, I listened to it yesterday. Yeah? Yeah, it's what I listened to when I rode my bike and then finished mowing the lawn.

So that particular show, the second set, they started with a song called Carini and they just went straight through. Like one song into the, like they didn't stop at all. Every song went into the next, into the next, into the next. I love that. Shut up about fish. Yeah.

Well, anyhow, big concert weekend here in Philly and we're watching a video of Casey dancing as he is mowing the lawn. Listening to that very concert. Yeah. Yes. Did you ask someone to film that for you? No. No? No, my wife is just sitting there. She just caught you? Uh-huh. Nice, nice. All right, well, listen, we,

are going to break, but hopefully you got a chance to go out and be a part of all these events. If you weren't joining us down in Kenans in North Wildwood for the insanity that was that, you have plenty of options here. I mean, number one being Barry Manilow. Oh my God. Hopefully you got a chance to get out and experience that. We're going to take a break. Come back in a second. Some bizarre file stories are indeed on the way next. ...

Just when you thought you had WMMR's number. We've changed it on you. Yep, you can both text and call us at 610-660-9333. That's 610-660-9333.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Now, WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. Collected a fine group of stories from the weekend for you, and this is one of them. Unfortunately, nobody was hurt in this thing, but video footage...

Captured the jaw-dropping moment that a box truck exploded in a sleepy Illinois street over the weekend. This is incredible. Ring doorbell footage captured the terrifying moment that the Penske rental truck blew up in North Wooddale Road in Addison, Illinois. Around 8.45 a.m. on Saturday morning, the explosion created a massive shockwave that damaged multiple homes in the neighborhood.

But miraculously claimed no lives. Video shows the large vehicle driving through the residential neighborhood when suddenly smoke begins to billow from the truck before a massive explosion sends debris flying through the air within seconds. What amazes me is just the, it's an optical illusion, but the cab part of the truck moves forward.

And basically looks like the entire thing has just disappeared. Right. Like in a puff of smoke. Yep. So the driver miraculously managed to walk away. How? Without, I mean, just only minor injuries. Yeah. Yeah. So emergency crews. Why don't we take a five minute break? Dude, that's what it's like. Parts of the truck blew tree branches off. Emergency crews rushed to the scene behind a large debris field scattered across the suburban street. How you doing? Yeah.

You okay? Investigators working with the bomb squad and ATF determined quickly there was no indication of anything suspicious. We think something blew up. The incident was ruled as an accident caused by a leaking propane tank in the back of the truck. I remember one time it was a Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway on Long Island. They had a propane truck making a delivery. It was insane.

98% empty and it flipped over on its side. They had people evacuate their homes for like blocks around the area. Can't mess with that stuff. This is disturbing. A crypto entrepreneur was arrested Friday after a tourist from Italy told police he was trying

tortured in the suspect's luxury apartment in New York City for more than two weeks. You know, this is what they're doing now. They're grabbing these people and torturing them to get their crypto access. The alleged victim, 28 years old, told police that he arrived in New York from Italy on May 6th and went to the home of the suspect identified by police as John Welz.

Welz allegedly took the man's passport and tortured him before he was able to escape Friday morning running to a traffic enforcement officer for help. The alleged victim was taken to the hospital. The suspect made his initial appearance in court on Saturday where he was held without bail on charges of kidnapping. And the victim told police that Welz

And another person who is yet to be apprehended beat him, used electric shocks, and hanged him off a ledge after he refused to provide his Bitcoin password.

When police responded to the home, they found multiple Polaroid pictures of the alleged victim being tied up and tortured in the suspect's Soho apartment, as well as multiple torture items that were out in view as well. A gun was also recovered at the home. So, you know, they've got pictures and the whole deal. I guess Polaroid is the format most used by kidnappers. Probably because you don't have a digital representation of it. You get it instantly. Wow.

A middle-ranking employee was fired, this is out of England, I believe, for inadvertently exposing his private parts during a video conference. The man whose identity has not been disclosed in court documents challenged his former employee for unfair dismissal at a tribunal, but his claim was rejected. Before we sign off, my balls want to say something. It was in 2020 the individual joined the Financial Services Compensation Scheme as a specialist.

His role was subsequently upgraded to digital production manager the following year, resulting in a salary increase. And on May 8th, 2023, which was a bank holiday due to the King's coronation, the employee was participating in a Microsoft Teams work call with external contractors. And during the call, he stood up to adjust a cable behind his computer, and he was not wearing any clothing below the waist, and his genitals were visible. The Employment Tribunal was informed that the incident led to a complaint from colleagues,

Following the initiation of an investigation by his line manager, the employee provided his version of the events. He said that it was a bank holiday. I did not realize when I folded the laptop camera that the laptop camera was on and pointing to the floor and then immediately shut down the camera so that I don't know what was seen on the floor.

He said it was just an accident and apologizes. He admitted that he does not always, quote, wear full dress at home. Already. He also argued he was not culpable for his actions because they occurred on a bank holiday. But I apologize. Hey,

A senior figure rejected the suggestion that dress code did not apply on public holidays. After being fired, the employee brought a tribunal claim for unfair dismissal as well as race discrimination. And he claimed not only that he had been wrongly dismissed, but also that he had been passed over for a promotion because of discrimination. It was so, it seems like an accident. You remember Jeffrey Toobin on CNN? Yeah. He got caught in a Zoom chat pleasuring himself.

But the tribunal panel noted that he had not been required to work on the bank holiday and had in fact chosen to do so. They said second, even if he were required to work inappropriately, uh,

That is no reason for appearing in a state of undress. The panel found that it was reasonable to dismiss the employee. Wow. Okay. He does not have a case. I'm trying to help the guy. All right. And then we'll end with this story. One wedding guest witnessed a room smash a fork full of wedding cake into his bride's face and share the disastrous consequences that followed. He detailed the incident on Reddit, revealing that the bride and groom got divorced less than a year later, which led many users in the forum to speculate on whether or not

there is a higher divorce rate when people smash their wedding cake into each other's faces instead of gently feeding each other a bite. Yeah. The Redditor now believes there might be a bit of truth to the divorce theory. The man and his wife were attending the wedding of his mom's childhood's best friend's daughter and everything was fine up until the time they cut the cake. He said, cake time, groom has a fork full, goes to feed it to his bride, but he drags his hand upwards to spear the cake on, I guess, her cheek, he said, and the fork tines end up

cutting into her upper lip. Oh, boy. And there was like five minutes where they were holding a fancy table napkin against her face to stem the bleeding. Oh, boy.

The guests warn future couples from getting married not to smash wedding cake into their partner's faces unless they tell them to do so. What did you do when you got married? Just a little bit of taste. I think we did a little playful smash in the face thing. And then you break a chair over each other's heads. In the comments section, fellow Reddit users agreed that it is wrong to smash wedding cake into someone's face unless there's consent.

They thought it was especially disrespectful to do so to a bride considering how long hair and makeup takes and how expensive wedding dresses can be. One woman revealed in a comment section that her husband and her agreed not to smash the cake in each other's faces, but he did it anyway. And she said, it was a sign of things to come. I should have left him right then and there.

There you go. Yeah. That's what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. Hey, a reminder that Henderson High School in Westchester is voting for coolest teacher of the year. We'll find out tomorrow morning, bright and early, who the winner of that is. And you can text the word teacher to 610-660-9333 for the voting link. Also, don't forget, we have Tattoo's Day.

Yeah. Brought to you by Sequoia Outback. Score major savings with their annual Memorial Day sale. Route 309 in Hatfield or Decksupplies.com. So the American Music Awards were yesterday hosted by Jennifer Lopez. The night was jam-packed with big moments and big performances. Kendrick Lamar led nominations with 10. He only walked away with one.

for her favorite hip-hop song. Billie Eilish was the big winner. She won, I think, seven awards total. Taylor Swift was up for six nominations, but ended up walking away with nothing to show for it. She still holds the record for the most wins at 40, though. So, you know, I'm pretty much... I'm a hip cat. Yeah. A hip dude. Billie Eilish, I was unaware that this...

had so much heat on it. I haven't... Were you hearing a lot of Billie Eilish? I didn't even know she had an album. Yeah. That's how hip I am, Steve. And we're both what we call hip cats. Cool dudes. I want to hear this song because I know just, you know, from having my daughters and stuff in the car that Billie Eilish is definitely... See if it rings a bell, right? ...has come on my radio. So I want to see... That's disgusting. Yeah.

What's that on your radio? Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish is here, guys. Don't ask. But I like her. I think she's very talented. I was unaware that this album was...

There was a new album. Okay, so you're talking about Birds of a Feather? Yeah. That won Song of the Year. Billy won Artist of the Year. She won Album of the Year. She won Favorite Female Pop Artist. She won Favorite Pop Album and Favorite Pop Song as well. So she just absolutely swept all the categories. So this is Birds of a Feather. This is not the song that was ringing a bell. Okay. Okay, turn it up. Bring it on. Okay.

I consider her music a vibe. I need to listen to her more. Her and her brother are talented. The song I was listening to over the weekend, it was really, really slow. Slow for Billie Eilish is slow. And she sings at a very high register and each...

verse that she sings, the next verse kind of starts and goes higher up from there. It's really, really pretty. I wish I could remember the name of it. Then the dog starts barking. Yeah. Boy, a wild, pretty interesting song. You and I watched True Detective, the most recent one with Jodie Foster. Yeah. The theme song to that was Billy Eider. Yes. That was a really weird, trippy...

funky ass songs. Yeah. Yeah, she's, I mean, you know, Phineas, that's her brother, right? Phineas, yeah. Very, very talented producer and obviously she's got the voice to make those things come to life. I really dig her as an artist and I think it's because with that last, the Barbie song that she sang, I watched her do an interview on why she chose to sing the way that she did and she really has a strong and powerful voice but

She often doesn't show it. Right. Yeah. Do you ever hear the song Ocean Eyes, Casey? It came out about a decade ago. It's a good song. It's one of her earlier songs. Yeah, it's my favorite song by her. And I mentioned this before, but she did this thing. I always forget if it's GQ or Variety. But she answers the same questions every year on her birthday. Yes. And it's really fascinating glimpse into just...

taking everything aside, a kid growing up. She started doing these Q&As when she was like 16 years old and now she's 25, 26 or whatever. And I like seeing her progression not only as an artist but just as a person.

So not only she won all those awards, but a few others were awarded, obviously. New Artist of the Year went to Gracie Abrams. That's J.J. Abrams' daughter, by the way. Okay. Well, good. Nice. Then Favorite Rock Artist. We have two rock categories. Favorite Rock Artist was 21 Pilots. Actually, three categories.

The Favorite Rock album also went to 21 Pilots. Her album was called Clancy. But Favorite Rock song is Linkin Park, The Emptiness Machine. That's a bit of a surprise. Which is cool. I really like that tune, yeah. But they have Zach Bryan in that category as well. I thought Zach Bryan was a country artist. So did I. Am I just talking out my ass? No. All right.

I mean, but I guess he can lean rock and maybe he had a song that for whatever reason they... Dude, I don't know. I'm so out of touch. It's pathetic. I'm not even going to try to guess. I get so confused between Zach Bryan, Louis Vuitton.

Luke Bryan, and Zach Brown. Yeah. Yes. Those are three different people. Yeah. All right. So you guys probably saw this, but Billy Joel, who was ramping up for a busy year, has put all his professional plans on hold due to a serious medical issue. For at least the next year, he's canceled all concert appearances after being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is a brain condition. It was made worse by recent concert performances.

leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance. So it's like having, you've heard of having water on the brain? It's sort of it. And the concert schedule would have exacerbated that. So he's going to take a break. And they say the prognosis is things can return to normal. With treatment, he'll be fine. But it's got to take a bit of time. Yeah, I don't know if he'll have to get what's called a shunt put in. But we know we have a friend who has that condition and this shunt essentially drains it. Oh, is there an actual...

external drain or is it? I don't know how she gets the liquid out, Steve. I'm not sure. I don't think so. I want to say it goes elsewhere in your body. I know you put the lotion in the basket. Yeah, it does this whenever it's told, by the way. Uh, canceled dates include, uh, solo shows and stops with Sting, Rod Stewart, and Stevie Nicks, uh, through July 2026. Uh, back in March, uh, Billy canceled all his shows through June due to a quote, undisclosed medical condition and I'm guessing that's what this is. Uh,

The Michael Jackson biopic.

is likely delayed until 2026, but that's not the only change in store for the movie. Can't wait to see it. According to Lionsgate film chief Adam Fogelson, they're actually looking at splitting it into two movies. Fogelson said, at the end, when you look at the music library, when you look at what Michael Jackson was able to deliver in terms of music and contributions to art, whether or not that can be fit into one movie comfortably or not is a question that we're absolutely asking.

And he recently shared that they cautioned that they're still looking at the idea. They're even talking about a third Just Bubbles movie. And the company would be honing in on their decision in the next few weeks. Bubbles in the Shadow of Greatness is the title. And then finally, we won't be getting Godsmack live again for a while. Lead singer Sully Yona said that the band is taking a full year off after the European tour.

And it ended last month in an interview with Hungary's Hammer World. Erna shared that he is not sure what he'll do next, but might start a new project. He didn't give any details about what it could be. This break comes after the band's drummer, Shannon Larkin, and guitarist Tony Rambola left last year to live quieter lives away from touring. Godsmack's latest album, Lighting Up the Sky, released February 2023, might be their last, as Erna has said, that they're not planning new music. Heat!

Had suggested he'd be interested in re-engineering the rotisserie grill, the short-time rotisserie grill. Re-engineering it? Yeah. He says that he sees ways that it could be improved. Wow. And I think that's amazing. Well, no wonder he wants it. I mean, because he's got that. He says with the new version, you would just set it and not even have to forget. You don't have to forget. Yeah.

One less thing. Yeah. You're a busy person. You don't have time to forget things. The band is now focusing on a fresh start with Erna set to perform a solo concert September 6th at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. It could be that quick.

All right, that's it. That's it in music news. We're going to take a break. When we return, a couple of things. We'll give away our Tattoo's Day prize. We'll get our first letter for the Word of the Week prize. And then we'll hand the reins of this unbridled stallion called WMMR to Mr. Pierre Robert. We'll be right back. Stay with us.

Rolling Stones, angry. I love that song. 93.3 WMMR. We are wrapping our program for the day. About 10.40 on this Tuesday morning. And thank you very much for being a part of it. We've had a lot of things to remind you about, like the back school. I'm sorry, not back school, but the coolest teacher of the year.

We have reinstated that after a little weekend off. And now we have Henderson High School in Westchester. So we'll see who they come up with tomorrow morning and find out the coolest teacher and award them the prize, which is pretty cool. We need to get our winner for Tattoo's Day. That's one of the things we need to do today.

And we're going to congratulate Mr. Mike Perillo from New Castle, Delaware. And Mike is going to get a $350 gift certificate for Floating World Tattoo and Piercing 1729 South Street in Philadelphia. Bye.

And hopefully we'll see what kind of tattoo he gets later on. If you want to check out artwork samples, you can go to floatingworldtattoos.com or on Instagram at floatingworldtattoos. So congratulations to you, bud. Pierre Robert is here back from a holiday weekend, as are we. How are you doing today, man? Good, good.

came up from, well, you guys did, that Kenan's thing was wild. Yeah. Oh, my God. And then, Ryan and I were up at Tropicana in Atlantic City. That was fun. And then I went and slept on the beach. I said, I just, I'm tired. I'm

I've been working all day. And I just said, I'm going to go lay down on the beach. And I walked out on the beach and fell asleep by one of the lifeboats that said Atlantic City. Did you just lay on the sand or did you have a towel or anything? I had nothing. All right. People were giving me money and food. Sure. Isn't that nice of them? Very kind of them. Then it came up and then, man, you were talking about concerts in the last segment or a couple segments ago.

It was such a packed weekend. You had Metallica Friday night and again on Sunday night. But you also had Post Malone on, let's see, that was Saturday night or Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark at the Keswick Theater. That's cool. I love that band. That's a great band. And also Barry Manilow and then Metallica again on Sunday night.

It was over. And so I did the double M. I did Manilow Metallica. Yeah. How is Manilow? Barry Manilow, I have to tell you, he's 81. Yeah. He's not quite in Mick Jagger's 81 shape. However, it was very Vegas, a very Vegas production. Yeah, you'd figure. You know, and it's like a...

12, 13, 14-piece band, backup singers and stuff, you know, several blazer changes from bright pink to like a leather jacket for one and a couple more things, you know, but anyone that does Copacabana, you know, I mean, this is a hot spot north of Havana. That's right. And his voice seemed pretty good in clips I was hearing, wasn't it? Yeah, his voice was good, I mean, and he was very self-deprecating, goes, it

It's amazing to be an 81-year-old sex symbol. You know, stuff like that. So he was making fun of himself and having fun. And the audience really just loved him. It was quite wild. And then for something entirely different the next night, Metallica. And that was absolutely wild. So it's quite a weekend of music. And so the idea that you could have gone...

You could have gone on Saturday to Barry Manilow or Post Malone, you know, or, you know, or OMD or Sunday. You could go to Metallica and there was a bunch of other bands that were playing. It's just incredible. It speaks to the vitality musically of this town and how much there is to offer. And it's just kicking off. I mean, it's the beginning of the summer. So the schedule looks pretty damn impressive.

Yeah, it's, I mean, it is a very, it doesn't seem quite as busy as last summer to me for some reason. But, I mean, it's still an action-packed summer, so, and an action-packed weekend. Great fun. Nice. Excellent. Well, if you don't mind, we can get a letter from you if we can get started with that. So, here we go. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. And the Preston and Steve show is brought to you today by the letter. S as in Steve.

All right. We have one letter, and now we have three more to go. That's it, because only four makes up the word this week. Remember, we have a pair of tickets to see Stained and Hard Rock live at Addis Arena in Atlantic City on Friday, September 19th, plus an overnight stay at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino that night.

Tickets for Stained, Friday, September 19th at Hard Rock NAC are on sale now via Ticketmaster if you want to grab those. What's up on the program today? Also, Alice Cooper was at the shore over the weekend. I mean, there was a lot going on.

Let's see. Well, first of all, I want to mention that Thursday will be our playback of the Mammoth concert and interview. So Thursday at noon, set your schedules for that for Wolfgang Van Halen and company playing for us and a conversation. For today, we've got workforce blocks of Bob Dylan, who is 84 as of Saturday. We'll do a block.

Three Days Grace for Adam's birthday from the band who had a birthday on Sunday. And Almond Brothers in the blocks today. Love it. Thank you, Pierre. And I would like to thank our sponsors. The President's Eve Show is brought to you today by Dunkin'. And the President's Eve Show runs on Dunkin'. Also brought to you by Acme Markets, fresh foods, local flavors. Tomorrow, it'll be a Wednesday, so we'll do a Fox Good Day hit.

Our buddy Kevin Bacon is checking in via Zoom tomorrow. And we're also going to have Jane and Guy Gardreau. They are the parents of Matthew and Johnny Gardreau. They were both killed. Remember Johnny was a professional hockey player. It's a horrible story. Tragic story. But we will talk with the parents and find out. I think there's an event coming up and they want to share the story. So we will get into that and more tomorrow morning. That's it. We're done. Rage on every stuff. Have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow, friend. Bye-bye.

Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Hey, everybody. It's good to have you on the map.
