Please go away. Let me sleep for the

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

It is on by it. I mean, Friday, folks. This thing is starting as we speak. We welcome you to another day, friend. Let's dive into the weather forecast and...

It's a gray start. It's a little damp. And it's going to kind of be off and on today. Mostly cloudy skies. But showers are expected not until, I don't know, 8, 9 o'clock, something like that. So just heads up on that. And warm temperatures, too. High of about 78. Cooling off a little bit tomorrow. The high 70. And there are thunderstorms in the forecast. Now, Sunday clears up. And partly cloudy skies. High 70. And then by the time we get to Monday, we'll be back to full-on sun. And we'll be moving up to warmer temperatures.

And now, Kristen and Steve's news update. All right, good morning. Today is Friday, May 30th. And we'll start with this story. An inmate set for a court appearance yesterday escaped from Delaware County. Deputy sheriffs at the county courthouse and media then was recaptured within two hours.

Sheriff Jerry Sanders reported at a press conference later yesterday morning that escaped prisoner Taqua Wilson, who is 22 and from Norristown, is back in custody following a manhunt by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. I was talking with a couple of police officers from Newtown Square yesterday. We were talking about this because they were there. They had drones out and everything like that. Apparently, he only... You have the story. But, you know, he didn't go very far. He probably tried to get on 76 and then stopped them dead.

Sanders said that anytime an inmate escapes, law enforcement assumes the public is at risk, and that triggers a kind of rapid response seen yesterday in Delaware County, but that Wilson is now back in custody also and no longer a potential threat to the public. Wilson was reportedly located on

Broomhall Street between 3rd and 4th Streets at about 10.30 a.m. Authorities did not confirm exactly where Wilson was picked up, but noted that he had surrendered peacefully. Wilson had been transported to the courthouse for a hearing on charges of receiving stolen property, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and fleeing police in a 2023 case out of Tinnicum Township. He's also charged in Philadelphia with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and conspiracy.

Uh, Sanders said Wilson never made it inside the courthouse, but that he had bolted from deputies at about 8 30 AM and alert was set out at 10 24 AM asking residents in and around media to shelter in place. That alert indicated Wilson was last seen heading North on olive street from fourth street. And then, uh, uh,

And that local, state, not local, that local and state and federal authorities were working to locate him. So it's my understanding he was just able to roll away because he's a volleyball, correct? Wilson, yes, of course.

Police in Montgomery County are searching for the armed suspect who robbed a gas station while wearing rollerblades on Sunday. Wow, that's retro. Happened a little after 7.30 on May 25th at the Leucoil located at 1945 Old York Road in Abington Township. According to police, the suspect entered the store on rollerblades and displayed a handgun while also carrying a knife in his waist. He demanded cash from the register and threatened to shoot the 19-year-old employee if he did not comply.

Worker told reporters, he was shouting at me without any reason. And he said, give me all the money. Like he was shouting too loud. And so that time I was a little bit scared, he said. Police say the suspect threatened to shoot the man in the chest. Detective Troy Hummel of the Abington Township Police Department said the employee did a fantastic job remaining very calm, very deliberate in his actions.

The employee who was uninjured in the incident handed over the cash, and the suspect was last seen skating southbound on Old York Road. So they're looking for the rollerblade robber. Faison Zaki's enthusiasm for spelling nearly got the better of him. Ultimately, though, his joyful approach made him the Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion. Yay!

Now, the favorite entering the B after his runner-up finish last year, during which he never misspelled a single word in a conventional spelling round, only to lose a lightning round tiebreaker that he did not practice for. Faison wore the burden of expectations lightly, sauntering to the microphone in a black hoodie and spelling his words with casual glee. Throughout Thursday night's finals,

The 13-year-old from Allen, Texas looked like a champion in waiting. And then he nearly threw it away with the B down to three spellers who were Svardanya Kadam and Sarv Daravine. Missed their words back-to-back, putting Faison two words away from victory. Now, the first word was Kamalina.

But instead of asking the requisite questions, definition, language of origin, to make sure he knew it, he let his showman's instinct take over and he started spelling it. Yeah. Now, the word is spelled C-O-M-M-E-L-I-N-A. And he started by saying K-A-M-E-L-I-N-A.

And then he stopped himself and he knew he spelled it wrong. And he said, OK, let me do this. And then he paused and he said, oh, shoot. And then he said, just ring the bell, which means you got the answer incorrectly. Mary Brooks, the judge, obliged. The other two spellers returned to the stage. He went on later. He was about to.

the final word that would win it for him. And the pronouncer, someone named Jacques Belli, had tried to slow Faison down before his winning word, which was eclairassessment. Of course it is. But Faison didn't ask a single question before spelling it correctly and pumped his fist. And then he collapsed. He fell on the floor and laid on his back.

and he ended up becoming the champion. Yeah, those pieces of information are provided for a reason. Yeah. So it's kind of a bold move to not have any context before you jump in and spell. Yeah. The bee celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, and Faison may be the first champion who's remembered more for a word he got wrong than the one he got right. But he is now the Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion.

And after coming close last year. Is Stallone moving ahead with his movie about the Scripps spelling bee? Oh, he's doing a movie? Yeah, like a sequel to Over the Top. Oh, my God. Wow. So he flips the hat around right before he spells the word. Could you use that in a sentence, please? Okay. The word is cat. Cat. Yes. Country of origin? United States. All right. Silent P. Thank you. L.

A-D. Cat. Oh, goddammit. Sorry, Sly. That'll look next week. This is rigged. All right. In sports this morning. Ball's actually coming. Ball's actually coming. Ball's actually coming.

What the f*** is that? The Phillies split the day-night doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves yesterday and last night at the ballpark. The Phillies won the first game. They did! Beating Atlanta 5-4, and then they lost the nightcap.

What the f*** is that? 9-3. Tonight, the Phillies open up a weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Tywon Walker will get the start. The first pitch is scheduled for 645. In the NBA, the New York Knicks stayed alive, beating the Indiana Pacers 111-94 in Game 5 last night at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks avoided elimination, but the Pacers still lead the series three games to two. Game 6 is tomorrow night in Indiana, and tip-off will be at 8 o'clock. In the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers are heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals.

After beating the Dallas Stars 6-3 last night in Dallas, the finals will be a repeat from last year as the Edmonton Oilers will represent the Western Conference while the defending champs, the Florida Panthers, are going to represent the East. The Oilers will look to become the first team based in Canada to hoist the cup since the Montreal Canadiens did it back in 1993. Game one is on Wednesday night in Edmonton and the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

And that's what I have for you this morning in sports. All right, thank you very much, Nick. And we welcome you to a No Sad Bro Day, friend. We have some things that are going to hopefully entertain you or distract you from whatever you got going on today. We do have a check-in with 6ABC, which is our Friday ritual. We'll do that at 6.36 a.m., I've been told. Yes.

And then we are going to have later on this morning, Kyle Pagan from Crossing Broad has been on our program a few times. He's got an event coming up with his partner and his podcast. Minute Work is what it's called. So he and Matt Peoples are stopping by. We'll chat with them.

And we have the debut appearance of Luke McElwain. That's right. So the big climb is this weekend. It's tomorrow. It's tomorrow morning, yeah. It's at Subaru Park. I'm going to be there from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. And Luke was a part of the climb when he was first diagnosed with leukemia way back in 2017.

and has not participated in it since. He lives in southern rural Virginia, so he was ill and he didn't climb the first year around because he couldn't. And now he's a kid who's doing really well. He's 12 years old. He's strong. And he's really excited that he can participate in it. So it's tomorrow morning at Subaru Park.

in chester we're going to be there from 8 a.m until 10 a.m but luke is going to climb he's going to be going up down the steps with all of us so i'm really looking forward to having him there tomorrow and having him on the show later this morning by the way i love that stadium man and if soccer is not your your thing and you've never had a reason to go there this charity event might be and it's it's pretty cool man i like that i think it's awesome yeah uh so tomorrow morning and then uh

Our friends from Rita's are going to be here, so we're going to do some giveaways with them on top of the other things like the connoisseur. We'll do some giveaways there. And, yeah, we're going to work our way through this Friday. It is time to reveal who our coolest teacher is. Oh, okay. Yes. All right. So yesterday we had randomly drawn the Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush for...

for our coolest teacher of school. And they responded in kind. So thank you, everyone who reached out to tell us who our winner is, if we have that name. We would like to congratulate from Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush, Mr. Max Feldman. He is an English teacher.

And he went to Penn State. We got a little bit of information about him. And he was on the Penn State crew team as well. So he's a rower. And his hobbies are traveling, camping, and biking. And has biked across the country, Casey. After college graduation. So he's a rower, not a shower. I guess so, right? So he does the real thing. So anyhow, if we get a chance to chat with him, we will. So if you can let Mr. Feldman know...

that he was a winner. Maybe he'll give us a call this morning and we'll say hello. All right, are we doing another school? Yeah. I don't know. Is next week our last week? It might be, yeah. Marissa Magnata is going to choose. Yeah, in the auxiliary studio over here. Let me crack this thing open. All right. Dig in. Oh, my God, there's so many schools around here. Yep. All right, let me crack this open. And our school is Interboro High School in Delco.

Interboro. That's where the Ferrari kid, the kid who took the video from the Delta Cooper. Oh, my God. Yeah. You're right. All right. So Interboro High School, if you would like to let us know who the coolest teacher of the year is, you can start doing that right now. It's very simple. You just text the word teacher to 610-660-9333. We'll send you the voting link.

And you don't want to text the teacher's name. You just text the word teacher. 610-660-9333. If you go to Interboro, if you work at Interboro, let the staff know about this. They can get the word out and we'll get a good representation of voters and find out who the coolest teacher is. And you get through the weekend. So Monday, we're going to reveal that information a little bit after 6 a.m. So get on that now, friends. We're going to take a quick break and come back in a moment.

Now, back with more of...

Preston and Steve show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. We're four minutes away, you're saying? Yes, sir. Marissa was holding up the number for us, so we're four minutes away from going on 6ABC. A couple minutes later, so 638 if you're keeping track at home. We're going to go through... Actually, we're going to do a stupid question. We're going to go through some birthdays. Today, we are giving away a pair of Maury's Piers.

Same day ride and water park combo tickets. It's our big freaking deal at MMR. It's going to run out, so make sure you take advantage of this. But you can win if you know the answer to this. And there's controversy on how you pronounce this. I'm going to go with how I like to pronounce it. But what does GIF stand for? G-I-F. And, of course, some people say Jif.

But let's see if you know the answer, what it actually stands for. G-I-F. What does that stand for? 610-660-9333 is the number. So call us if you happen to know. We'll see if you can get through. I'll go through some birthdays while we wait, and then we'll break in and check in with 6ABC here in a moment. Today's the 30th day of May. Celebrating birthdays, we'll start with Mr. Ralph Carter, who was on Good Times. Good Times.

He played Michael Evans, who was the brother of J.J. Right. He was socially active. I remember he was really tied into the community. They had always said he was going to be the first black member of the Supreme Court. That's right, yes. Yeah, that was kind of his thing. And I looked up his credits on IMDb yesterday when I was taking a look at the birthdays.

He really didn't do anything outside of good times. He had some kind of an appearance on a show like a couple of years ago, and he had one more credit. There was just three credits of the whole thing. Sometimes you realize as you get older, it's not going to work for you. It's not going to be a job for you. But that...

show ran for several seasons. It was huge. And let's not forget that Janet Jackson was on that show as a kid. It was pretty cool. Ralph Carter turned 64. Ted McGinley's music today. I didn't know which music to go with. Do I go with this? You could. He played Ace the Photographer. Or do I go with this? Oh, you can go with Happy Days. Or do I go with that? Or...

Revenge of the Nerds. There it is. Or... His entire career. Is there a theme? There's a theme for shrinking. Shrinking, yeah. Yeah, you're right. It's a very short theme. He's so great on that show. He is the character that I most would like to be on that show. He takes everything in stride. Yeah. You know, even when his wife is...

He had a little flirtation with another guy. He was like, okay. He goes and has a beer with him. Yeah, yeah. I like that theme song. It's actually, I think, Dashboard Confessional. The singer from that band does that. Oh, no, not Dashboard. Crap. I'll get it. Hang on. Okay. All right.

No, keep going. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. His character, I love the nicknames they have. What's his? Oh, is it D-Train? Is that what she calls him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. So Ted McGinley is 67 years old today. Happy birthday.

Actor Colm Meaney, if you're a Trekker, you know this. Star Trek The Next Generation, he was on there. You know what movie I love he's in? It's The Commitments. An excellent movie. Yeah, yeah. He's terrific in that. He's also on Deep Space Nine as well. He went on both series. He turns 72 years old today. It's always a funny case when they went to Ireland. He was. Yes. That's right. It is also Idina Menzel's role. Yes. Let it go.

How does John Travolta say her name? How does what? John Travolta say her name. Oh, my God. He butchered it royally. Casey does not like her singing voice. I do. I do, too. I think I saw, you know, I'm a fan of Brent. Obviously, she was in that original cast and she's been in a gazillion things on Broadway. I think that's probably why I didn't get into Wicked when it was like all the rage.

because I also realized I don't like Christian Chenoweth's singing voice either. Really? I like them both. Dina turns 54 years old today. It was Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie. He does the theme song for Shrinking.

Got it. All right. Well, listen, we're probably about 10 seconds away from going on 6ABC this morning. So I'm going to turn this up. We will hear them. And then they'll throw it to us in just a moment. We'll chat with these guys. It heads to the Gabor Hood for a big festival.

A marketing campaign for a men's hygiene product has taken a very weird turn. Actress Sidney Sweeney's actual bath water is being infused into a bar of soap. She had posed in a bubble bath for a Dr. Squatch soap commercial. The response was so huge...

They saved the Suds and found a way to sell them. So let's bring in Preston and Steve from WMM. I don't know anyone else more perfect for this. You remember the movie Salt Burn, guys? Oh, yes. Yeah. I was afraid you were going to bring this up. Yeah.

Yes, can we talk about that in detail here? Graphic detail? Yeah. Be careful. You have the floor. No, I mean, so, hey, why not? This gal is on fire right now. Her career is way up there. And in the world of things like OnlyFans, where you can buy all kinds of questionable items, why not go for this? I just bought a Stanley Cup filled with Liza Minnelli's tobacco spit. So...

I didn't know she'd choose. Apparently she did. I just wanted to be closer to her. The feedback online is lukewarm. People are like, wait, what? Why? Why do we want this? I don't understand. I'll tell you this. So I bought this deodorant just to check it out because it also has apparently it's free of the aluminum or whatever. And I found it a little bit too...

tacky. Like, it was too sticky. Okay. You know? So, maybe this will get you to go one purchase and then you make your own decision. But, you know, the connection between Sidney Sweeney and what you're going to put on your armpits, I think, might be a bridge too far for some people. Yeah.

I have this thing. I'm against taking baths because I feel like you're sitting in there and you're just swimming in your own filth. I envisioned you with your hair up in a towel. Candles lit. Glass of Merlot. Thank you. I don't deserve it. The iPad propped up so you can watch your favorite show. That's got Matt O'Donnell written all over it. That's Matt O'Donnell. I have other ways to relax.

Or you can just bottle the bath water and sell it in a bar of soap and tell people that they can buy it for $8. That's true. $8, yes. Okay.

Well, they say it's whistling clean Irish spring. Well, it's manly, yes, but I like it too. Yes, right. You're talking about that tacky deodorant. This is medium grit. They're saying that this is an effort to try to get men to think about the ingredients that they're putting in their body, a.k.a. her bathwater. Right. If they really wanted men to think about this instead of Sidney Sweeney, they would have put, like, Bea Arthur on the box. I don't know.

You don't put Sidney Sweeney if your goal is to make them think about the ingredients in the deodorant. Yeah, exactly. Aluminum free. Aluminum free. Thank you so much, Preston and Steve. Have a good weekend, guys. We'll see you. All right. So actually, that was the lead story I had in the entertainment news. I'll get into some detail on that. Let's see. Who else's birthday is today? Stephen Tobolowsky. That's him from Groundhog Day. He is so great. And in that movie, he

He does. Maybe it was during the director's notes on the Blu-ray, but they were talking about how he managed to flip his head around to get full camera exposure when he gets punched in the face. Oh, my God. It's hilarious. Phil?

Not that long ago, my youngest son and I, we've got this list of movies. It's a scratch-off thing. It's like the 100 greatest movies or whatever. Did you put it together? Did you buy it? Yeah, we bought it. And so you scratch off, and there's a little picture underneath for each movie that you watch. And one of the movies on there was Memento. And I had completely forgotten that he is in that movie. He plays...

In these flashback scenes where a guy who has this memory problem, it's not Guy Pearce's character, another character who keeps giving his wife these insulin injections. Right, right. She's testing him because she isn't sure if he has this memory lapsing. And I forgot that is a totally straight story.

dramatic role for him. He's good at that as well. Yeah. I love that movie, by the way. It's one of my favorite Christopher Nolan movies. That's pretty wild. So, Stephen Tobolowsky is 74 today. And then the last birthday I saw, Tom Morello. Ah. Rage Against the Machine. He turns 61 years old today. You had a nice encounter with him at the barbecue. It was backstage. Were you a little nervous? I was very nervous because I didn't know what kind of guy he was going to be, but he was

Why is that doing that? But he was a really nice guy and real talkative. And I went over to his guitar tech, and this is what I was really surprised at. Because of all the wild noises that he gets out of his guitar, his setup was actually very simple. I thought it was going to be this massive array of pedal board, but he only had like two or three pedals on there. And I'm like, how does he get these noises? And he just said he just knows how to work the equipment, and he knows how to play that guitar.

What I like about him is that he is a music fan himself. So he is a fan of so many other bands. He had a show that was on for a while where he was just basically playing his, you know, his favorite bands. And he is behind the documentary that's going to be coming out about Judas Priest. Yes, that's right. He's the guy that he's the force behind that. So he turned 61 years old. Is he like me? Did he go to Harvard?

I think he might have gone to Harvard. He's a high education... He's a highfalutin. Yeah, yeah. He has... What is it? Intelligence level. Intelligence level. Yeah. Are you of intelligence level? He is of intelligence level. I wish that you...

Country of origin, please. If you don't know what that means, go back and watch our Daily Rush video from yesterday because I said something really stupid. All right. Let's see if we have an answer to the question. What does GIF or JIF stand for? G-I-F. Well, I'll tell you what it doesn't stand for. What? He doesn't stand for baloney. Well, it won't. But we have Mike who's going to take a crack at this. Hey, Mike. Good morning.

Good morning, Preston. How are you, buddy? Great, brother. All right, so do you know what GIF stands for? Graphics Interchange Format. Yes. Which leads me to believe that it's GIF. That's what I think. I do hear people say GIF. Graphics is a hard G. Yeah. And so, yeah. And choosy mothers choose GIF. They do.

Mike, hang on. We're going to set you up, bud. You got those Morris Piers same-day ride and water park combo tickets. It's MMR's big freaking deal, of course. For a limited time only, you can get a same-day ride and water park ticket to Morris Piers for just $70. And you'll enjoy unlimited rides on three piers and both water parks for a whole day. And if you buy it for a family of four, you buy a family four pack, you save $200. You can get a free ride for a whole day.

Get this exclusive offer while supplies last. You can do it at WMMR.com slash deal. So, yes, Sidney Sweeney teamed up with Dr. Squatch to release a limited edition soap called Bathwater Bliss. That's the name of it. We were just talking with Matt and Aliana about it.

And it's made with the same suds from her bubble bath. In the ad, they say that. And it includes exfoliating sand, pine bark extract, and a splash of water from Sweeney's original bath. So she said, when your fans start asking for your bath water, you can either ignore it or you can turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap.

Um, she called this product weird in the best way and praised it for smelling incredible and delivering real quality. Only 5,000 bars will be made. Uh, it's launching on June 6th and the campaign has sparked a wave of reaction online with one fan joking that people would quote, spend their life savings to get as many as they can. I think she's pretty, um, spectacular, but obviously, excuse me, she's good, great looking, but, um,

She also gets it. Like the Rolling Stones video. She did a straight up rock...

siren on a car thing and yet i see like the the horror movies that she's producing the projects that she's taking and i've seen her in interviews and she seems pretty down to earth okay so you know how the attitude the nose up in the air can really kill it right she doesn't have that at least by my reckoning that's good yeah because some people would uh some actors yeah or or you know

Somebody who has gone on the scene as being sexy and is kind of known for that can either shun that or they can play with it. And it seems like she's playing with it and having fun. When I first met you, I thought, oh, there's a pretty boy here. I know. I know what I'm dealing with.

But you were so approachable. I'm a regular guy. You're a regular guy. You know? Yeah. And then you gave me a glass of your bath water. I drank it and it was all good to go. And there you go. And the rest is history. So Jessica Alba is enjoying her time as a single lady following her split from husband Cash Warren with a source telling Us Weekly she's having a lot of fun going out with her girlfriends. That's great. And more spontaneous. Let's have lunch. While she has dated casually, she isn't seeing anyone specific right now though. So there was...

She was spotted with this guy, a mystery man, and it looks like she's, like the friend said, casually dating. Meanwhile, despite the separation, Alba and Warren remain good friends, and they continue to talk, often staying involved throughout co-parenting and business ties. Did you see, she ended up in this article, and it might be something that we can flesh out at some point, but apparently the new trend, like talking about Sofia Gomez,

Selena Gomez? Selena Gomez. And her fiancé. Benny? Benny, yes. Who is super talented and great. Like that guy. Right, he is great. But there is a bunch of high-level female stars who are known for being attractive who are sort of slumming it, is the basic conceit of the article. They're attractive...

by design going after people who might be a little bit under their level do you know what i'm saying and benny has acknowledged that i mean benny blanco is really talented and he's smart and funny but he's not what i would call a um a looker a looker yeah and he's with selena gomez who is one of the most beautiful people on the planet and unbelievably popular and so he's acknowledged more than once i don't know why she ended up with me uh but now we fit and i think that she kind of got the

tired of dating pretty boys. Right, right. And she ended up hanging out with Benny and now they're in love. So that's kind of a trend now is what they're saying. Like that trend. Yeah, right. Like that a lot. He has a hope for a lot of guys. Yeah, absolutely. All right, after just one year of marriage, Maria Bello, who went to

Villanova, by the way. That's right. Is filing for divorce from chef Dominique Crenn. The two were engaged for five years before they tied the knot in 2024. So they, you know, waited. Do you think it's conceivable that at any point Maria Bello dated our current Pope? Uh, wow. Since she went to Villanova, it's possible. Uh,

So Bellow, of course, starred in films such as Coyote Ugly and History of Violence. While Crenn remains, and I didn't know this, the only female chef in the U.S. to attain three Michelin stars. Wow. She's a star in her own industry. Irreconcilable differences is stated as the reason for the divorce. So never happy to hear about that.

Uh, but this is nice. This is a wedding. Uh, congratulations to Eric Murphy, Eddie Murphy's son and Jasmine Lawrence, Martin Lawrence's daughter. Wow. They got married. That's cool. Yeah. I mean, they've been in movies together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh, you mean Eddie and Martin? Yeah. Okay. So, uh,

Proud dad, Eddie, broke the news on the Jennifer Hudson show this week. He said everybody was making the big wedding plans and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them. And he said that the nuptials happened about two weeks ago. He said they went off. They got married at a church. He said they just had the two of them and the preacher and they had a quiet little thing. And that's how they did it. He has like 10 kids, 8 or 10 kids. Got a lot. Yeah. Yeah. A whole mess of...

Oh, that's a young'un. So, yeah, at some point, one of them was going to marry somebody who he knew. Just the odds. The Daily Mail is reporting that Renee Zellweger and Ant Anstead's relationship has seen better days, and the couple have been living separately for almost a year now, according to this report. The two were last seen together publicly in March, and more recently, Anstead was spotted staying at the Laguna Beach home of California divorcee Julia French,

Though the mail is quick to add that they've never witnessed any couple-like behavior from the two. So he's getting French benefits. Yeah, he gets French benefits. While Zellweger has been in New York filming an upcoming season of Only Murders in the Building, Anstead's rep had a quick response to the report saying, Sadly, the recent reports...

in the press are disrespectful and misleading. They told People magazine, adding that Anstead stayed just a handful of days in Julia French's separate and detached guest house. I think the problem is that she's also a looker. So that's the assumption that these tabloids are making. They have been longtime friends, they said, with a similar age to children within a circle of local Laguna Beach friends. So who knows?

Alright, the tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his famous parents, David and Victoria, continues to grow. The drama reportedly stems from Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz's 2022 wedding, again, with sources saying Victoria allegedly hijacked their romantic first dance. So, Mark Anthony was a guest performer, and he invited quote, the most beautiful woman in the room tonight, Victoria Beckham, to the stage. Not

the bride, leaving Nicola shocked and in tears. One source said it wasn't appropriate, adding that Nicola ran from the room as Victoria danced. She's that sensitive that Mark Anthony's paying a nice compliment to Brooklyn's mom.

So here's the controversy. This is why some people said this. We're not sure if this actually happened. No, no. But the word was it was during the first dance of...

The couple. But he's just saying something nice. I mean, I think he's just paying a compliment to Victoria Beckham. No, no, no. But she came up and danced. Victoria Beckham came up and danced with her son when this... Now, that's what they're saying. Nick, let me continue. Yeah, the mother and son have a dance anyway. So a second source for page six, though, is disputed part of the original report saying that the dance happened later in the night and Victoria didn't steal her son's first dance with his wife. The insider who was at the wedding said they had their first dance and...

and a second as is evidence. And then Nicola had the traditional dance with her father. Much later in the evening when Mark Anthony performed, lots of people got up to dance. And yes, finally, then Brooklyn and Victoria Beckham had a dance, as did David and his daughter, adding, everyone is mystified why that would have upset Nicola. So yeah, Nick. Okay. Even though this other source was saying it wasn't the first dance, yeah, she got a little wigged out about that. I think...

I think that you had said that the mom, that Victoria has not liked this gal. She's not liked her since the beginning. And so this might just be a manifestation of that. Now, classically, you would assume in a room where you have a bride...

when you say the most beautiful woman in the room, you're referring to the bride. You're supposed to. But that's not Victoria's fault that Mark said that. No, exactly. Go to hell, Mark. So insiders claim this moment was part of a larger ongoing family rift with Brooklyn feeling torn between his famous parents and Nicholas' billionaire family. I hate you. I hate you more than anything in this damn world.

So, as I said, yeah, Nicola's a billionaire family. So, you know, she's loaded. Earlier this month, Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from David's milestone 50th birthday party. Where is she? All right. So we're going to go over to let me see how much time we got left. All right. I'm going to move this story up. Film.

Completed but never released. And Steve, you know this story. Released by legendary comedian Jerry Lewis has reportedly resurfaced. I just watched the documentary about this movie. So the controversial Holocaust film, The Day the Clown Cried...

was filmed and never released in 1972 and was alternately disavowed and praised by the comedian in the years after it was made. An argument between Jerry Lewis and producer Nat Waksberger is said to be the reason for the film's

shelving. However, actor Hans Crispin claims that he stole a complete work print of the film from its production studio in 1980 and is now ready for the world to see the legendary lost film. Now I'm curious. The documentary is pretty wild because it's basically, remember that movie Life is Beautiful? It's a little bit like that. It's similar to that. With a twist. So the drama tells the story where

of a German circus clown who is imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp after mocking Adolf Hitler and is then forced to lure children to their deaths as punishment. You said with Jerry Lewis playing the freaking clown. Yes. Christman says of the film, I think I want to hand it over to the next generation with today's technique. It can be restored. And then he added that it must be seen. He's like Guy Gavlavin.

I wonder, I mean, listen, it's going to be from the early 70s, so it's going to feel really, really dated, but that's a compelling sounding story right there. So I'm watching the footage, you know, and they have little clips of the documentary, of the movie in the documentary, and you can see the stress and the strain and the...

There are parts where they're interviewing Jerry Lewis and he's saying this is the right time to do this. And then there are other parts in the documentary where he's saying, maybe I'm making a mistake. Yeah. Yeah. So he's like, I mean, you could not do a bigger 180 from the kind of films Jerry Lewis was doing at that time to being a clown who lures children into a death camp. Yeah. I mean, he was just doing goofball slapstick humor. Yeah.

And then to go to this... Into the hive and let the food with the ovens and the thing in the camp. Wow, man. So I would absolutely be interested in seeing something like that. So maybe, maybe we will see that surface. Ben Stiller has hinted that there could be even more severance coming fans' ways. Speaking with Variety, the director wouldn't comment about plans for season three or even further out. But he did open up that there could be a spinoff from the show. So my wife, like...

through the series. Nick, I know you... Casey, you're not so much on it, right? No, no. I'm into season two. I'm like four episodes into season two, but it's not one of those things where I'm like, I have to finish this. I think Kathy made it like halfway through episode one, season one, so...

She bailed fast, but it's not Kathy's bag. But yeah, I loved it. Claire loved it. Good. And I want there to be less time in between season two and season three. So whatever he comments on here, Preston, it was three years in between season one and season two. It's too much. It was way too much. I needed to go back and re-watch season one because I had forgotten so much.

before season three, or season two. Three years? That's one of the biggest stretches I've ever heard. It was 2022 that season one came out, and then it was this past year that season two. Yeah, it was way too long. So he said there are two specific ideas that I won't tell you that we've talked about internally as possible spinoff ideas, but he cautions that those talks are in the very early stages.

and said that he'd also love to see a Severance video game as well as merchandise like Lumen Keyboards as well. So we're working on something.

The original cast of Hamilton will put on a special performance as part of the Tony Awards celebrating the hit Broadway production's 10th anniversary. So Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics, and also starred in the original production, will reunite with Jonathan Groff, Ariana DeBose, Carly Bettiol, and Andrew Chappelle, and more for the special performance. Hamilton debuted on Broadway...

at Richard Rogers Theatre in 2015, and it went on to win 11 Tonys, including Best Musical, and Hamilton didn't stop there, won a Grammy, an Olivier Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, a citation from the Kennedy Center Honors, and the original Broadway cast recording became certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.

That's pretty amazing. How many Tonys did the Book of Mormon win? Don't know. I know it dominated that year as well. Not that year, but the year that it won.

The Tony Awards will air on CBS starting at 8 p.m. Eastern on June 8th, and it's hosted by Cynthia Erivo. So this will actually, I bet you it will be a record for viewers. So I... Tony's not really on my radar. I always hear about it post, but to see this original cast get back together, I might actually watch it. Occasionally I'll check out the Tony Awards and...

You can see some good stuff. Yeah. Uh, to answer your question, Steve, the Book of Mormon won nine Tony Awards way back in, uh, 2011. Yeah. All right. So one more quick story. Uh,

Benoit Blank is on the case and things are looking grim. Director Rian Johnson just dropped a creepy teaser for the third Knives Out mystery, Wake Up Dead Man, and it's giving major chills. No dialogue, just a graveyard, a church, and a bell toll that gets louder and louder. The teaser captioned with a cryptic Bible quote saying, The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures.

Netflix has been doing a good job at keeping plot details under wraps, but they're calling this Blanc's most dangerous case yet. Is this being released as a straight to Netflix or is it going to get a theatrical release? I do not know, Steve. The all-star cast, of course, sees Daniel Craig return and includes big names like Josh O'Connor, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Glenn Close, and Andrew Scott. So, yeah, there's a teaser trailer, but I don't know...

details of where that is going to play. We've had Ryan Johnson on a couple times. He's great. I would call him a friend of the show now at this point. Yeah. We asked him and he said he was. What a talent. I mean... We literally flat out asked him, are you a friend? And he said, yes. Yes, I'm a friend. Yeah. All right, there are movies opening this weekend.

All right. Karate Kid Legends opens this week in action. Drama stars Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and Ben Wang. When Kung Fu prodigy Lee Fong relocates to New York City with his mother to attend a prestigious new school, he finds solace in a new friendship with a classmate and her father. But his newfound peace is short-lived after he attracts unwanted attention from a formidable local karate champion.

Guided by the wisdom of his Kung Fu teacher, Mr. Han, and the legendary karate kid, Daniel LaRusso, Lee emerges their unique styles to prepare for an epic martial arts showdown. Hour and 34 minutes long. It's rated PG-13. It's a wide theater release, and Rotten Tomatoes' score is only at 54%. Are you going to see it? I don't know. I'm not really sure. I mean, listen, I don't bank everything on Rotten Tomatoes. No.

Bring Her Back is also opening. It's a horror and suspense film starring Billy Barrett, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips as well. A brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the scheduled home of their new foster mother. Secluded home of their foster mother. Running time is an hour, 44 minutes long. It's rated R.

And the wide theater release Rotten Tomatoes score is at 88%. So a solid score for them. Those are the directors, that writer and director of that movie, they're brothers. And they did the movie Talk to Me, Preston, which is with the mummified hands. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So these guys know their horror chops. Nice. All right, clips.

Peppa Meets the Baby is a special big screen experience featuring ten oink-tastic new episodes and lots of sing-alongs. And here, Mummy Pig talks about the new addition to the family. Well, Peppa had more than a few ideas. For a while, she just wanted to call her Baby forever. But we've decided to name her after my great aunt, Evie. Shut the f*** up!

Peppa Meets the Baby is in theaters today. Mark is not having any of that. Here's our next clip. After a season full of dark twists and turns, viewers are eagerly awaiting the finale of Your Friends and Neighbors. And in this clip, Amanda Peet talks about what she loves about playing Coop's ex-wife. I liked that she wasn't kind of a cliche middle-aged divorcee, sad, depressed, in therapy, talking about her sad feelings.

and instead kind of acting out. And then also the conceit of the whole show, like this idea of you can sleep next to someone for many years and suddenly wake up and ask yourself,

Do I really know you? Yeah! Season finale of Your Friends and Neighbors streams today on Apple Plus. And it has been renewed for a second season. I love this show. I love this show. And this is the best thing Amanda Peet's ever done. It's a role where I feel like in all the years I've seen her in so many things that I kind of get her a little bit more now. Okay, nice.

All right, that's the Entertainment Report, folks. We should take a break because we've got some things to get to this morning. Being a Friday, we'll give away our Word of the Week prize at the end of the show. And we've got the connoisseur coming up. We've got some other giveaways. Our friends from Rita's have dropped off some stuff. That means goodies for you, too. And a reminder that Interboro High School and Prospect Park.

Delco is our next school that is up for voting for coolest teacher of the year. Marissa pulled it out of the jar in case he noted the kid that filmed the Delco pooper goes to Interboro. We had him on the show the day after, uh,

His last name is Ferrari. How cool is that? So if you would like to vote for a teacher, it's very simple. I'm going to find out who's made an impact in your life as a student at Interboro. Text the word teacher to 610-660-9333. We will send you the voting link and you get the weekend to place your vote. So make sure that you do that and we'll reveal the winner on Friday.

Monday, we had mentioned earlier this morning, our current winner is Max Feldman from the Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush. So we congratulate him. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a moment or two. So make sure you stay with us.

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

We'll be right back.

The 20th Annual I Bleed for Preston and Steve Blood Drive. Benefiting the American Red Cross. From 93.3 WMMR. Putting Philly first.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Marissa. So, as we're heading into the weekend, if I do not do this, my briefcase explodes. I need to clean out the junk drawer. It's the junk drawer. Preston's cleaning out his junk drawer. Giving things out of the junk drawer.

Shining stuff here in the Trump drawer. I turned that around pretty quick. Those are, they're getting stronger. Thank you. The huhs. Thank you. Would you call that a huh? I'd call that a huh. Yeah. In vocal school, my training, my vocal coach calls it a huh. Steve does those live, by the way. It's improvised each and every week. That's the kind of artist I am. Right, exactly. All right, let me dig in here and see what I can find.

All right, so starting on June 5th, drivers in Pennsylvania will soon be prohibited from using their handheld phone in any way while behind the wheel, from taking calls to scrolling on social media and even at a red light. So if you're sitting still, you can't do it. So when I came across this article initially, I'm like...

Huh. I thought that already was the law. Me too. Yeah. I thought that was already a law, even though I see flagrant abuse of it all the time. All the time. Yeah. All the time. I mean, like holding the phone right up in front of their face, driving and, you know, FaceTiming. And I usually will see the indicators if you're behind a car and you see them weave a little bit like they're.

texting they're on their phone they're doing something and listen this is not a young person issue it's not an old person like it's everybody is doing it yeah i was in yesterday i was in traffic and i didn't know what the hell was going on with this guy but i was um i was facing in this direction and there and there was traffic coming in the other direction and so i can see this guy's face right and he's just sitting there and he's looking like he's like

Right? Hang on. Casey just had a scowl on his face. I was going to say that. He had this face and he had this scowl. And I was like, what the hell is wrong with this guy? Right? Yeah. And then I inch a little bit forward and I noticed that he's on his phone and he needed to contort his face to read it. That's even worse. Even worse, right? Dude, if your eyes aren't good enough to read a phone in front of your face and you're driving...

Alright, well, starting on the 5th, they're going to ban the use of new state law will ban the use of handheld phones while driving in an effort to reduce the number of distracted drivers on Pennsylvania Road. Now, under the new law,

drivers could be pulled over for talking on a handheld phone or scrolling. I think that's the difference in this law. That's what it seems to be. They can now pull you over if they see you doing that. So if you have a handheld phone or you're scrolling on your phone while you're driving, even if you're stuck in traffic or at a red light. Texting while driving was already banned in the state, but the new law prohibits taking pictures, playing mobile games, sending emails, using social media, and more while the driver is in a moving vehicle.

Pennsylvania is actually one of the last states in the region to ban the use of handheld devices while driving. Nationwide, 35 states and D.C. have already prohibited handheld cell phones use for all drivers. That surprised me. Let's throw it open to people who are driving Zoom. Yeah. Well, what does this mean for GPS? Uber drivers, Lyft drivers, you know, anybody that uses Waze or Google Maps. I think if you're using something that's in, like, it's in the dashboard or it's in, you know...

They just don't want the phone. Well, that's a good question because most of the ride shares that I've used, they have a phone up on a cradle that is their GPS, their navigation. Sometimes it's more than one phone. Yeah. You know? Yeah. That's going to have to be something that they're going to allow because that's...

You know, that's a gig industry necessity. Yeah, interesting. And, well, I mean, while there's more and more interface with monitors on newer cars. Right, right. There's still people are driving vehicles that don't have that technology yet. And listen, you know, I have the Apple CarPlay, but from time to time, you hit a bump.

And the phone's like, I'm not going to work on your dashboard anymore. You know, like for no reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It says, here's the question in the article. It says, can I still use hands-free phone options while driving? It says, yes, drivers are encouraged under the new law to use hands-free options such as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

So drivers remain focused on the road while talking on the phone. Drivers are allowed under the law to use a handheld device while driving in emergency situations and can still utilize hands-free options available in most newer car models to make calls, use GPS, and listen to music. But you can't be holding it in your hand. There's still nothing prohibiting you from eating a spaghetti dinner while you're driving, right? No, I think Casey, Nick, look this up.

Pennsylvania law, eating while driving. Specifically spaghetti dinner. It's eating spaghetti with or without meatballs? We'll start without meatballs first. We have a meatball situation. I just pulled over a driver. Nick pulled this up. In Pennsylvania, there's no law explicitly prohibiting eating while driving. However, it's considered distracted driving. And if it leads to unsafe driving, a driver could receive a ticket for a moving violation like careless driving. So...

They can't pull you. Casey. Keep reading. While eating spaghetti might seem less dangerous than using a phone or texting, it can still distract you and increase the risk of an accident. Listen. Well, that's because Nick put in the search. Yeah. You guys asked me to. I'm just doing my job over here. I put spaghetti in parentheses. You were looking for spaghetti. We got to the bottom.

Turns out it's the spaghetti act of 2024. I thought maybe the AI heard us talking about spaghetti. I did PA, eating while driving, and then in parentheses, spaghetti. What is the most ridiculous thing you think you've eaten while driving? Me? Yes.

Salad. Salad. Who? Salad? Yeah, like you get a fork at the drive-thru and you're hungry. And so you're like, well, obviously, if you're going to get a burger or whatever, you can keep it in the foil. You can eat a burger relatively easily while driving. But I've been hungry, gotten a salad through the drive-thru, eaten that. I have tried to eat something with a fork.

while driving before. I can't remember anything in particular. There was a time where on my drive in, I need something to eat in the morning. It saves me some time if I can eat in the car. Now, I eat a banana. There was a time where I was a regular cereal eater. I tried eating cereal in one of those self-containers. You're drinking it, basically. Then there was a device that they came up with for eating cereal in the car, and it was dumb.

Okay, I tried it. It would be so hard to explain. It was a cup, almost like a coffee to-go cup with a little hole in it you could drink the milk out of. And you put the cereal in a container that was in the top and you would eat some of the cereal and then you would drink the milk.

It was dumb. It was dumb. It didn't work. But cereal is probably the stupidest thing I've ever tried. Do you remember the one that attached to the steering wheel? No. Yeah. What? Yeah. Now, you weren't driving. You were supposed to be driving. But because we could turn the wheel, it would flip over and pour out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This was really... Okay, we're looking at a picture of it. Yeah, that's the cereal cup thing. It didn't work. This was a cool thing, and it's real. And I bought it for Rochelle. She never used them. It was more of a joke.

But it's a little condiment holder for ketchup and things like that that attaches to your air conditioning vents. Yes. Yeah. For dipping. And you can dip. Yeah.

That's a brilliant idea. But you're going to make a mess all over your car. I usually just hold the dip thing anyway. Yeah. But if you wanted to do it, you know, where you didn't have to hold, use both hands while eating. They have a hot dog. You can put your hot dog in one of those things too. Really? In your air conditioning van. All right. And you know those like, you get it at a snack bar. It's like a little plastic tray. Sure. And you put the wax paper in there. It kind of looks like a mini one of those. Huh. It's a little hot dog.

I've never taken the great adventure of eating something like super chili while driving. Probably the most would be like a fully loaded hoagie. Yeah. Okay. You know. Yeah, and that's a mess. That's a mess. Yeah. All right. So, by the way, Marissa wanted me to pass along that WMMR works with CarPlay. You can download the MMRA.

app to get us on your dash. Very easy. You can go right through that if you happen to be traveling out of our area. And use the catch-up function on the app. Please do. Absolutely. All right. So eventually, drivers in Pennsylvania can be fined $50 for a summary offense if found to be using their phone while driving. However, that won't go into effect for another year starting next week.

Police can begin issuing written warnings for handheld phone usage, but will not issue traffic tickets until June 6th of next year, according to PennDOT. Sometimes they will do that. This is kind of a warning phase that they go through, and then they have the real deal. What's wild, though, is I see it violated so much. Even just like the, if you're in Jersey or whatever, which I know they're a lot stricter, I'll see people all the time talking on their phones online.

holding the phone up to their ear, or even whatever, just holding it in front of them using the speaker, that is distracted driving. The up to the ear thing doesn't bother me. I know you have one hand that you're not using, but it's the visuals. It's texting. It's FaceTime. FaceTiming, yeah. Things like that. Shooting your Insta video. Just does not make sense. Hi, guys, I'm driving. Full on watching a movie or watching a program. I've seen that far too often, and people are just cruising around watching stuff on their phone. Yeah.

All right, back into the junk drawer. Got to clean this thing out. All right, I saw this article this morning. I put it in my junk drawer and I pulled it right back out. It's amazing. It was a poll that was done and it has to do with book clubs being a great...

to dating apps for meeting people. So actual book clubs where you gather together and discuss a book you've all read is now becoming popular as a dating site alternative? Correct. That's kind of cool. I mean, my wife and her friends used to do that. And I'm sad that they don't do that anymore. The first time they ever did it, I was like...

You know what I mean? Because they're in a circle. Reading. Well, no, no, it's not that. I know. It's that when they congregate, like, there's no president of the group, right? So it's like, how do you start the conversation? So it seems a little awkward. Well, you need someone to sort of see how everything goes. Once the engine was primed, then it was less awkward. But I thought it was, like, really awkward in the beginning when it was like, so... I wouldn't mind...

doing something like this. So I saw this article this morning and I pulled up a search which was, you know, book clubs in my area. Are there any? And like, on the source that I look for, I couldn't find any. So I think they're more, like you have to do it in your peer group. Yeah, that's what she did. And find people and kind of loosely organize it that way. Bring a good book to an AA meeting and try to get it going that way. That way, you're guaranteed to get a captive audience. No, I wouldn't mind doing like a Stephen King

book club. And it can be books that you've read before. Absolutely. You just reread them and then you get together. But I wouldn't mind maybe, and I could use my social media or the radio station here to maybe organize something like that. I might do that in the near future just for a loose...

book club thing. Booze would be involved, of course. Booze, yeah, a little bit of blow. Stephen King and like a good whiskey. Yeah. That's good. Bourbon and books. Oh, there you go. I like it. Even better. I feel like Facebook or Reddit is really good places to find these type of people and these type of groups. Okay. They exist. They're just not like searchable, Google-able in our normal realm. Right. Who gets top billing, the bourbon or the books?

Is it bourbon and books or books and bourbon? You start with books with the pretense that that's what you're focusing on. Yeah. But you're really focusing on the bottom. The flow of the syllables, I like books and bourbon better. Yeah, me too. It kind of rolls off the tongue. And these things have long been, they've been parodied as excuses to get together and get hammered. Oh, dude. Yeah. They have a few different bars in Jersey called The Library. Yeah.

So people would be like, yeah, I'm going to the library. That's great. Yep. All right, so 44% of the respondents say that they'd rather meet a romantic partner at their book club than on a dating app. And men have had better luck with reading group meet-cutes. 38% of them polled have met a potential love interest there compared to 16% of women. Interestingly, though, more than half of book club members admit that they like to keep that fact a secret forever.

from others in their lives.

And men are more likely to hide their membership at 70% than women at 48%. So they're embarrassed to admit that they go to book club. Your Dickens is in my face. Get that Dickens out of my face. If you're going to join a book club to help your love life, be prepared to actually read. Yeah, that's going to help. As members have read an average of 10 books in the last year.

More than a quarter say that it was tough to meet people with similar literary tastes before joining a book club. Are there book clubs that would appeal to...

Are there book clubs for people who listen to books on? Oh, audio books? Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, because that's how I would do it. Right, right. I mean, just time-wise. Right. It's how I consume literature. I thought you were going to ask if there's like comic book clubs, and I'm sure there's got to be. Yeah. That would be fun. Yeah. That would be fun. I'm sure there are. I'm not a book club kind of guy, but you know what? I have a few friends. In fact, they're probably on their way to it now. I think they call it like Next Man Up. So it is like a man's group, but it's not a book club.

group what do they do it's faith-based okay but it's just like it's a men's group they get together on friday mornings and they just help each other be better men like that's kind of all it really is it's not about being better people it's not necessarily about being a better christian but it's an offshoot of philly jacks club philly jacks club yeah philly jacks sit around and uh spank it now i can help you with that your grip is all wrong uh

Do it better. You're pulling to the left. I mean, like, for example, the reason I wanted to be in a book club, Stephen King book club, is there's a movie coming out. It's called The Life of Chuck. And it's from, it's a series of short stories that were in this book called If It Bleeds by King. And I love it.

I love this story and I'm so excited that it made it into a movie. And like everybody I tell it to is just like, I'd like to actually talk to somebody who's as excited about it as I am. Do you want to do that thing we're talking about? Make that the focus about you? I can set it up. We can stream and we can throw it out to a whole bunch of people and you can just be at home.

I'll get some graphics up. We'll go live. Yeah, I still want to do that with you because you do a video podcast thing, right? Yeah, and it's very easy to do. Absolutely. But I also want to sit around with other... People who know it. Yeah, sit in a group and talk about it. And maybe they've... You want knowers, not showers. The reason I want to do it is because other people will pick up on...

things and stories that you didn't pick up on. That you missed out on or considered some of the subtext that may have gone over your head. I like that. I think it's cool. But anyhow, I didn't think about the fact that you could hook up with people too. That's part of book clubs. So apparently it's doing well. Alright, let me go back into the junk draw. ...

All right, several former Wawa properties are for sale right now in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The seven locations were listed for sale earlier this month for a total asking price of $4.125 million. The properties, four vacant properties.

to 4,000 square foot buildings and three parcels of land can be bought separately or you can buy them together. So these are old school Wawa's that they no longer build. They are the smaller, older style Wawa's. You see that happen fairly frequently and you can't help but notice if a building is in something that used to be a Wawa. Totally. You see it and you're like, oh, whatever it becomes, you're like, yeah, obviously that was a Wawa at some point. What's that place that's near Kenan's? I think it's like a

Oh, a dive shop. It's like a surf shop. I mean, there's, you know... It clearly used to be... Yep. Right? It's the Wawa that we used to go to before the broadcast. Right. But you can see the shape of the building and sometimes that kind of old stone... Right. Whatever facade they had on there. And now food pantries take over Wawas. In fact, there's a food pantry...

I just sold a $5 million scratch-off ticket right near Peterborough High School. But it used to be a Wawa. It was like a tiny little Wawa. It would be kind of cool to get, you know,

I don't know why, but to get like a place like that, an iconic design that you would know and, and, uh, you know, turn it into like a residential Casey. Speaking of signature designs, are there any repurposed Swiss farms right now? There is on two 52 in media. There is a, a Swiss farms that is now a coffee shop. Uh,

I don't know how they do the whole parking thing. You drive through it. Well, no, because. All right. So when you're looking at it from 252, the right bay is open, but the left bay has like seating. And I haven't pulled in just yet to see like if there's parking in the back because there's like really no parking in the front. So I don't know how that necessarily works. But, yeah, that's the only one that I'm aware of right now. OK. All right. We're looking at.

One, Nick pulled up a picture of a pantry, one food mart. That looks like an old Wawa building. Yeah, that's exactly. And so they've moved into several of them. I remember there was a Circuit City in Gateway Shopping Center and Circuit City had very distinct buildings. Yes, yeah, yeah. And it closed at one point and they put in some other store and it just was like, it just threw me off. I was like, that's...

That can't not be a Circuit City. It's got the boom box out in front of it or whatever the hell that was. Yeah, I forgot about that. There are some architecture styles that go in line with the business and they keep it that way as kind of a signature. Yeah, and it's kind of cool. Do we have the locations of these models? Yeah, I do actually. So deed restrictions, by the way, and most of these...

are close to, within a mile or two of the larger super Wawa's now with the gas pumps and everything. Uh, and in fact, the land for sale, the egg Harbor township location is adjacent to the new Wawa. Here are the deed restrictions. Um,

The new owners of the old Wawa's cannot use the space for convenience food store, coffee store, donut store, sandwich store, smoothie store, quick service restaurant, drug store, fuel dispensing facility, or any combinations of such uses. So here are the locations, Case, and you will recognize a couple of these. 907 Whitehorse, Pike, and Absecon.

66, 78 black horse, Pike and egg Harbor. Um, 60, 16 Bristol, a meal road in Levittown, nine 17 aerial road in Pine Hill, New Jersey. Uh, this one I know, and Nick, you'll know this too. 27 Oh six Ridge Pike on in trooper. Oh yeah. Yep. That one's up for sale. No kidding. Uh,

Then this is my old wah-wah when I lived in Upper Chi, 2236 Chichester Avenue. We should do the King to McDowell's route and open up a woo-woo. I was thinking an ah-ah. And then we could use the Ric Flair. Woo-woo-woo-woo!

Welcome to Woo Woo's. Yeah. You can't sell anything at Wawa. I know. That's the problem, man. That restriction about not selling anything that's similar in product line. You know, that one on Trooper Press, and I wonder if this is the case for some of the other ones on the list, it's not too far away from a Super Wawa. Yeah, exactly. I'm sure they just started cannibalizing their own business. It would be stronger than the other Wawas. Steve, can you imagine? Is there a Wawa around here? No, but there's a Woo Woo right down the street. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

I love it. It'd be kind of hilarious. Wow. And we'd just wait to be closed down. The last location is 455 US 9 in Weartown, New Jersey. Weartown. Wootown. Wootown Clan. All right. So if you're interested, you can buy those. All right. Let me go back in. All right. The name of this is what...

drew me to it. In this headline, it says poop rule. And so I'm like, okay, what's that all about? Seems right for a Friday. It's actually a decluttering method with this name that's going viral on social media. And those who have tried it swear that it works. It's called the poop rule. And it has people purging unwanted and unused stuff in the trash like it's literally covered in crap.

I talked about this on this show. Oh, you did? Yeah. He was like, well, then basically everything I will throw away. Because if I get poop on anything, I'm throwing it away. I don't remember this. Yeah, this was a few months ago. I will tell you this, though. This comes at a pertinent time. You know, I'm a massive, you do the spots for the Baxter. I'm a massive fan of the Baxter press. And I find when I have something like that set open.

It's easy for me to apply this. I haven't used it. I clearly haven't had a need to use it in a while. It's out of here. So here's the deal. You ask yourself while decluttering if something was covered in poop, would I still keep it? No. Yes, I would throw that away. I would throw out loved ones. Okay.

If that baby had poop on it, you're out of here. She tried it at her house and was able to toss clothing, games, and home decor items with ease, noting that the technique is perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed by clutter or struggles with decisions fatigue. This is from a content creator, Amanda Johnson. How ruthless are you?

uh throwing stuff away yeah i'll go for it i will as well once you learn to do that it is liberating yeah rochelle not so much yeah and that's why when she goes out of town where are my bras i go to town i'm terrible at it i i could i need to take lessons from you guys because i i find stuff that's like in the garage get out of here i'm bad at like keeping stuff for far too long and um

Meaning you do keep stuff for far too long? Yes. See, I didn't beg you as that. I'm good at keeping those things neat. I keep them stuff organized. But Steve, I mean, you know, when we'd clean out our office every now and Kathy would just go in and toss stuff that was mine. And guess what? I didn't miss it.

I can give you anecdotal support here about the thing is, how am I going to need that? And when I made that leap, when the switch was flipped about being ruthless, I found I seldom, seldom if ever encounter, oh my God, I can't believe I threw this out. It's not the needing, it's the wanting. It's the attachment to stuff. And so, you know, it's dumb ass crap from college days or early 20s or whatever. And I see it in the garage. I was like, no.

I remember this was a great time. Whatever. It's just sentimental value. Again, complete opposite of Kathy who had no sentimental attachment to anything. Yeah, Nick, I think the older it is, the more likely I am to hang on to it. So like college things, like I have a whole duffel bag in my basement that is just old college notebooks. And every time I pull it out and I read, I'm like, oh my God, I'm so embarrassed by this. And then I close it and I put it back. I should just throw it away, but I don't. I can sort of understand that though. We're talking about you go into the garage and you have...

The stuff that you've never used. Now, mind you, I'll drop them at charity if I can, but I got to get it out of the house. But let me ask you if this happens to you because this happens to me every time. So there's something that you've had around for seven, eight years, never been used or haven't used in seven, eight years, finally getting rid of it.

Within three months, you need to use that thing. It just happened to me. So we had a bunch of coolers, too many coolers. All right. So I'm like, two ought to do it. All right. So I got rid of a couple of coolers. I'm like, when's the last time we had a party and we needed coolers? Which is great.

We're having a graduation party tonight. Do you need a cooler? No, I reached out to Carter. He had two. I'm like, bring those coolers to the house. Here's the deal, though.

So you think about it. If I were pressed to have to replace this thing, is it going to break the bank? Right. Like for a cooler or a USB connector or your swatch from 1980s. I mean, do you really need it? I just got rid of a whole bunch of winter coats. I cleaned out our front closet and it was just overrun completely.

With coats that the kids can't fit in anymore. Coats that I haven't worn in years. It's like, why? Yeah. And we had a hard time opening and closing the doors. I'm like, I'm just going to get rid of all of it. And next is going to be my closet. Like, I have basically every t-shirt that I have hanging up right now.

I don't wear anymore. So like those all got to come off and then I can put, you know, but I'm like, oh, what do I want to do? It's contagious. So I went into my neighbor's house and they had all these urns on top of their mantle filled with ashes. I'm like, get rid of that. Do it. It's got burns. Greg,

Preston, you have Walk a Mile tomorrow. Yes. There is a store that's associated with Laurel House, and they are a great charity. I'm trying to find the name of it. It's a woman's name in a store. It might be Susan's store. If somebody knows, text in because I can't remember the name of it. But Casey, for old coats, for old towels, blankets, linens...

Stuff that you just have in your house that you never use, they use it. They clean it. It's safe. It's wonderful. And Laurel House, obviously an incredible organization. So I think it's in Norristown near where that Target is, that shopping center. Okay. But anyway, I'll find it. Oh, here it is. Marion's Attic. That's it. Yes. Marion's Attic is a great organization, great place to take used items. Okay. An anonymous benefactor just dropped by 200 coolers.

So anyhow, try the poop rule. It may work for you. Do they suggest you actually do it to expedite? Maybe the first time just to have a real visual that you can wrap your mind around. I got diarrhea. It's house cleaning time. I thought that was interesting. I do think that's good. See what else we can find.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got it. Keep going. So research shows that only 38% of Americans ages 25 and over are college graduates. But it turns out there are still a lot of solid career opportunities available to them. And a new report from Resume Now says,

or is it resume now? I'm not sure. Reveals careers that offer good salaries, a long-term stability, and don't require a college degree. But even better, these are jobs that are not likely to be replaced by AI. That is something that people are starting to consider as they head into the workforce. This trend has been happening for a couple of years, and then South Park did a great riff on it where you had, you know, talking about these...

lawyers and doctors or whatever, you know, working within Silicon Valley types who can't fix their hose or, you know, their sink or and that that now they're they're they're calling the guys who can do that now are considered the elites because they possess an ability that you, you know, to that point, Preston, that I can't handle. Correct. All right. So here's a here's a list of.

jobs vocations that uh that you don't need a degree for is the radio has got to be at the top uh and that uh don't really have much of a chance to be replaced by ai and then i have jobs with a moderate uh risk of ai so jobs with relatively low ai risk include uh forest fire inspectors and prevention specialists like smoky the bear and the medium pay is 71 000 and change that's good flight attendants

That median pay is around $68,000 a year. I always thought that'd be kind of fun. I mean, the idea of the travel or the more liberal travel possibilities always seemed cool. I just always...

I have like no discernible skills. So whenever this job is taken away from me, like what can I do? I'm like, I think I might be able to be a flight attendant. But at that point, am I too old to be a brand new flight attendant? I don't know about that, but I think you'd be a great flight attendant. You're a people person. Yes. And, uh,

The downside of flight attendances are the... The naked guy running up and down the aisle, taking a dump in someone's lap. Well, even not quite to that extent, but just the surly traveler and having to deal with people like that. I think you also get back what you put out. Yes.

Your energy is so good, Casey, I think you'd probably have less of an occurrence of that. Yeah. There was a story on CBS Sunday morning this past weekend, Casey, about the golden age flight attendants. And it was celebrating these women that have worked for Delta for a long time. Oh. And you could do that. I could do that. You could be one of them. You could be an old lady. I could be an old lady flight attendant. I could totally do that. You're wearing a wig. All right. Other relatively low AI risk stories.

Jobs including lodging managers. Is that the hotel manager, I guess? It's like Tony Perkins in Psycho. $65,000 median pay. Electricians, the median pay is around $61,000 a year. Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters. So a lot of trades, obviously. I'm going to bet that this median average is a little low.

Because I know a lot of people in those various trades that are doing a lot better than that. $61,000 for plumbers. Industrial machinery, mechanics, median pay is $61,000. Chefs and head cooks. Oh, there you go. Median pay is $58,000 and change a year. Hearing aid specialists. What?

Hearing aid specialists. Median pay is about $58,000 a year. And personal service managers at roughly $57,000, $58,000 a year. So those are relatively low AI risk jobs that you don't need a degree for. By the way, all legitimate, honorable life paths. I mean, you can... It's...

We tend to think that college is the only way. It is not. And yeah, if you know something that you love early and you can get on it, go for it. Go for it. Here is the jobs with moderate AI risk. These could eventually be automated, but for now they still require human judgment. Maintenance workers for machinery, $61,000 a year. Insurance sales agents, really? Yeah.

That has an AI risk to it? Interesting. There is a certain subtle art to being able to bore people that badly, and the machines haven't been able to mimic it yet. 59,000 a year is the medium pay. Aircraft cargo handling supervisors. I assume, well, okay. I assume machine, yeah, I can see the moderate risk of AI and machinery replacing this. Hmm.

Well, I mean, to maybe move stuff around, but the supervisor manages people. Yeah, yeah. Well, the bigger machine would handle the smaller ones. Have a big cigar in its portal.

And then finally, security and fire alarm system installers. Median pay is $56,000 a year. There are things that are just, I don't care how good AI or how good the ability to have things monitored gets. There are things that just are going to always require human eyes on it. Yep.

Here is a post that Marissa just brought in. It says, AI is coming for your jobs. I'd like to see AI take a Southwest flight with three layovers to open for Hoobastank at a country county fair. Oh, that's from Eve Six. Oh, it's from the band Eve Six. That's funny. Three layovers to open for Hoobastank at a county fair. Wow.

All right. Cool mistake. So kind of interesting. All right. Do we have to wrap up now? All right. That's it. I got to close this up, gang.

Until next time, now what's the joke, Troy?

And Rita's is making waves with new Kool-Aid Sharkleberry Thin Ice with a fun mix of tropical fruit flavor. And every bite, it is the must-try treat of the summer. So don't wait. Try Kool-Aid Sharkleberry Thin Ice.

at Rita's today. Be cool. Eat a Rita's. So, did I say call 18? I think I said, yeah. All right. 610-660-9333. Someday I'm going to figure out how to remember the number I said just 10 seconds ago. AR will do it. I'll work it. Yeah, thank you. Please. All right. We're going to take a break. Bizarre Files stories are indeed on the way. We've got the connoisseur coming up with some guests. Hang out for a bit.

Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show. ♪

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you, Marissa. Before we dive in and officially create the weekend for you with our froggy song, we're going to talk to somebody. And we've heard about this young man for years.

We've never actually had a chance to meet him. And now we're meeting him via Zoom. And he is the namesake of Team Luke for LLS's Big Climb Philly. It's happening tomorrow at Subaru Park in Chester, which is a really cool building if you've never been there. And Nick, you're going to obviously be leading the charge there. Yeah, I'm the captain. I've done Big Climb for a number of years. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is a fantastic organization. And my family got two diagnoses of leukemia and myeloma in 2017. My nephew, Luke,

for whom the team is named, was diagnosed with pre-B ALL leukemia. Luke is doing fine now. He's in remission. The same year, my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. And so it was sort of a one-two punch for our family. And what we didn't realize is how incredible LLS is. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society just do amazing work

They have a bunch of different fundraisers throughout the year. But this big climb has become one that's been a lot of fun for me and my family. It used to be in a center city tower. And now we're doing it at Subaru Park. And for the first time in seven or eight years, Luke will actually be able to participate. I love it. And so he's joining us via Zoom. And our first look, I now realize he has the McElwain head. Please welcome Luke McElwain. What's up, Luke? How you doing, man? Good. Excellent. On your way to school?

Oh, no, I'm going to a basketball camp. Oh, good for you, man. So in Southern Virginia, where Adam and my brother, who's on with Luke and Luke live, school's done. They wrap up before Memorial Day. So Luke's already into camps and he's doing baseball camp and basketball camp. So what's on the agenda at the basketball camp today, Luke? Um...

I don't know. I think we're going to scrimmage, maybe some drills, something like that. Okay. All right. Well, listen, you're going to be a part of the big climb. And Nick, you said this is the first time he's doing it? So he came the first year that I did it. But Luke was not well that year. He had just been diagnosed a few months prior leukemia. And so, Luke, I don't know how much you remember. I believe you were only four or five years old at the time. Do you remember anything from the first big climb Philly that we did?

I had farmer's boots. You had boots? Yeah, I had boots on. Farmer's boots. Oh, farmer's boots. I did one flight. All right. One flight and done. Yeah, so somebody who had been recently diagnosed by leukemia, one flight's pretty good. Flash forward to this year. Are you excited about coming to Subaru Park and joining Team Luke and sort of being there in your honor, but you can participate now?

Yeah, I'm excited. Hey, you sound like you're rip-roaring ready to go. I don't worry about it. Hey, Luke, what do you... We have an 11-year-old who just woke up about half an hour before this interview. You've been there, my man. Totally. But he wanted to come on the show, so this was his request. But Luke, do me a favor. Tell me...

How you feel about all these people getting together to help raise money for people like yourself? How does that make you feel? What do you think about when you see all these people? It makes me feel good because it donates to a good cause. You donate it to a good cause.

And it helps people out like me. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. Did you, have you made any, obviously dealing with this, have you made friends with other people who are the same medical boat you were in? And have you been able to give them some encouragement, Luke? Yeah. Yeah.

I have. Yeah. Yeah. Steve, we we actually we hear all the time from families like ours that either have been through it before or are going through it now. And there is definitely a sense of camaraderie and family and connection there.

And it helps when you can connect with people that have either been there before or can be the guiding light for someone going through it now. And I think even tomorrow, we're going to meet a family who's had a daughter diagnosed in the last few months.

and describing all the feelings of what that's like. And, you know, they're grateful that they're in Philadelphia, which has an amazing medical facility. CHOP, of course, is the best in the world. We were lucky enough. We were first treated in Northern Virginia at Inova Hospital.

We transferred Luke's care to UVA, which is also a top-notch pediatric oncology center. So yes, long answer to your question, getting connected to people that are either in this boat now or have been through it before.

Yeah, it's great. Community is a big, big part of what happens. You know that with your cancer diagnosis and helping people out. And Luke's, you know, doing well. So that's he can share his story. Luke, by the way, do you have any embarrassing stories about Uncle Nick that you'd like to share with us? Oh, yeah. Oh, so, um.

Sometimes we go to the Phillies games and we'll be doing really well. And then they get or the Mets start or like some the other team starts hitting and he starts cussing his brains out. And Uncle Nick is kind of loud, isn't he?

He can be. Yeah. I'm just curious. You're wearing a Toronto Raptors jersey. Whose jersey are you sporting right now? Tracy McGrady. Okay. Oh, you're going back old school. Excellent. Listen, I know that you guys, Luke, you live in Virginia, but are you a Philly sports fan? Yeah, definitely. Okay. Is that hard for you down there in like nationals and commander's country?

No, they suck. Yes. There you go. So one of the great things about this weekend is that we're going to do Big Climb Philly tomorrow morning at Subaru Park. I'm going to be there from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. And Luke and Adam, my brother, are going to be there as well. And then afternoon, we're going to go to the Philz game. So Luke gets to come up and we're going to go see the Philz play Reese Hoskins and the Brewers. Luke, are you excited to see another Philz game at Citizens Bank Park?

Yeah, I heard the Phillies might try to trade for Reese Hoskins. Oh, yeah, I heard that as well. And I apologize in advance if they start losing. I will not curse and I will not curse loudly. Yes, he will. And Luke, take out your phone and film it for us, please.

Luke, is there any particular curse you're looking forward to hearing tomorrow? Any what? Any curse? Any bad words you're looking forward to hearing from him? All of them. All of them. I love it. All right, guys. Thanks for checking in. Have fun at practice. And we'll see you tomorrow, Luke and Adam. Good talking to you, buddy. All right? Yeah. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. It is the big climb. Yep. Ooh.

WMMOR.com, PrestonSteve.com. You can find all the information about it right there if you'd like to join in for that event. It's something. And again, Luke on the way to engage in a normal young man's summer activities and basketball camp and things of that nature. Whenever I've done it or spoken to gentlemen who've gone through prostate cancer or anything, Preston, you, Crohn's and colitis, when you see somebody who is

gone through it and they're up and standing in front of you and like, I'm living my life. It's like, oh, you expect to go to a medical facility and have the people there with the scrubs and the clipboards say, now things are going to be great. And you're like, yeah, yeah, I know. You're kind of obliged to say that or whatever. But when you see...

Real people who have gone on and are doing great. That's such a burst of energy and encouragement. Yeah, and somebody's going to get a diagnosis tomorrow, right? And somebody's dealing with this, and they don't know how to, and that's what LLS does. They provide the support mechanism for people who are going through it, and they're going to help you get through to get to a point now like where Luke is, where he's playing baseball and going to basketball camp, and he's just living the normal kid life for a kid who's going to be 12 in a couple of weeks. So, yeah, love to have you be a part of Team Luke tomorrow morning. All right, before we get to tomorrow, we've got to take care of today.

Woo!

Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre File.

Brought to you by Delco Trim Light. You can visit DelcoTrimLight.com to schedule an estimate on installation of the coolest permanent programmable holiday lighting system around. Love this story. We're starting with this. Two hikers in New York's Adirondack Mountains called 911 to report that a third member of their party had died. But it turned out that they had actually taken hallucinogenic mushrooms and they were mistaken. Oh.

We made a mistake. A state forest ranger responded to a call Saturday about a hiker who had reportedly died on Cascade Mountain, a popular summit in the Adirondack high peaks. Was there in fact a third party ever at all with them? The two hikers who called 911 also told a steward on the mountains summit that they were lost. The steward determined the hikers were in an altered state of mind and Steve, the supposedly dead person, he

He called them and said, I'm not hurt. I'm not dead. I'm not even there. The ranger escorted the two hikers down to an ambulance, which took them to a hospital and brought the third to the group's campsite. Wouldn't it be wild if they were the only two legitimate people to ever see Bigfoot? No one would believe them. And they later all met up together.

Cell phone video captured the chaotic moment a Miami police officer shot a driver as the police officer clung to the hood of a moving car. Have you guys seen this footage? No. It's pretty, it's T.J. Hooker territory. Yes, the footage shows the officer fire multiple shots through the windshield of a black BMW as the driver makes a left turn.

The wounded driver quickly gets out of the car and is apprehended before he is taken to the hospital. The video is now part of a police investigation. The shooting happened Sunday near Bayfront Park in the city's downtown as a music festival was taking place. Police say the officer was struck by the car before the shooting happened, but the video does not show what led up to that encounter. The shooting is under investigation.

Provincial conservation officers are investigating after a woman was attacked by a black bear near Vancouver on Tuesday. The woman was walking near her home shortly before noon when a black bear came around the corner of her house. I'm a big, dirty bear with a furry little tail.

And confronted her. It gets me every time. Now, the bear kept advancing towards the woman despite her attempts to scare the bear away. And it actually bit her. Wow. But this is interesting. She managed to get away by spraying the bear with a garden hose. Just a regular garden hose. Yeah. Why are we spending all this money on bear spray? It reminds me of the Tommy Boy scene where he's hosing him down after they went cow tipping. He's a meanie. I'm a meanie.

Shoes cost more than your life. The woman was treated for injuries that were described as non-life-threatening. Conservation officers responded to the scene but could not locate the bear this past Tuesday. The agency says a bear trap has been...

placed in the area and officers continue to investigate the encounter. This marks the second black bear attack reported to the conservation officers in the past month after a woman in the resort municipality of Whistler was attacked while walking her dog. The victim in that attack was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after she was knocked to the ground and bitten by the female bear. That animal was later found and had to be destroyed. I just happened to be watching The Revenant last night.

Oh, my God. Yeah. That's a bear attack. Yeah. On Tuesday, prison guards in Costa Rica busted a cat trying to import crack cocaine into the penitentiary. I'm not talking. In a statement, prison officials said. I want a lawyer. They caught the kitty trying to climb over the perimeter fence of the prison with two drug packages attached to his body.

We've heard of like carrier pigeons and things like that. I've never heard of a cat. I want a lawyer. The first contained over 235 grams of marijuana and the second had more than 67 grams of crack cocaine. After the bust, the cat was turned over to the National Animal Health Service and the drugs were... You want to know something funny? There are two of us in this room and you're the bigger pussy. All right, let's see.

We got time for two more stories. Pakistani authorities confiscated two African lions after a man caused panic as he walked one of them through the streets over the weekend for a TikTok video. The man, who was also wielding an automatic rifle, has since been arrested after residents reacted with fear to the incident. That seems like a great account.

A spokesperson for the Punjab Wildlife Department said, we have arrested the man involved in the TikTok stunt and confiscated two African lions from his possession. Hey guys, I'm walking my lion and I have a machine gun. The man, he's like the Joe Exotic of Pakistan.

And then I saw a lion. The man could face up to seven years in prison for illegal possession of lions and putting lives in the public danger. Under Punjab Wildlife Act of 1974, keeping or displaying big cats in urban areas is a criminal offense. Authorities have...

banned the keeping of big cats in populated zones and also prohibited the sharing of dangerous videos involving big cats on social media. A lot of animal stories. Quite a lot, yeah. Here's another bear. When a woman was in critical condition, this was in Slovenia, after a bear attack in a forested area outside of the capital. Hit a case. Okay. Yeah. There you go. I'm a big, chubby bear with a furry little tail. The act on Tuesday...

The attack occurred on the edge of the forest some 10 kilometers southeast of the capital. The bear retreated in the forest after the attack and police have advised residents to stay away and be cautious.

This comes just days after authorities approved the culling of 206 brown bears, whose population in the area has grown to around 1,000. They said she made a mistake by douching with a product called Salmon Spring. The small alpine nation of just over 2 million people is widely forested with many protected nature zones. Authorities occasionally approved bear...

Bear or wolf calls despite strong opposition from animal rights groups. You know, when you... And we've talked about this before. When you see the claws of a bear, I mean, there's that footage of the guy who's shooing a bear at a picnic. And the bear just lightly grazes its paw across the guy's stomach. He has these deep wounds across his abdomen. It's...

They're knives. They look cuddly, but they're lethal. But they got those ears. I know. My brother has a bird feeder with a video camera on it. Right, right. And you should see this bear comes up and just eats all of the bird seed, but he grabs it with his gigantic claws. You're like, oh. Terrifying. So two bear attacks were recorded in 2022 in this same area. Speaking of which, my brother went to a zoo yesterday.

New Hampshire Memorial Day weekend, literally they had one animal in the entire zoo. And it was a dog. It was a shit zoo. Okay, shit zoo. I get it. Thank you. I forgot to give myself one of these. Man, I thought it was a real story. I totally fell for it. It was a shit zoo. I get the punchline. Yeah, we have the joke. The actual fake story was better. Alright, so...

Look over there. It's a Rita's Water Ice gift card. I have a $25 gift card to give away for Rita's Water Ice. Call number 12 at 610-660-9333. And new Kool-Aid Chuckleberry Finn Ice is now at Rita's.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you, Marissa. All right, before we move on, Steve, I just want to say, I don't know what you did, but your hair looks awesome today. Thank you, man. Yeah, this is some kind of magic you're working over there. I just polished. I used Eternal Wax. Is there a...

Is there a polish for bald men? There is, but a lot of times it's meant to diminish the shine. Some people have really shiny heads, and I don't know if they're going for that or not. Yeah, some do. No, you don't have a shiny head, but I've seen somewhere it looks like they lubed it up.

Yeah. I don't like that look. I don't like the overly reflective. So I keep, and all I do is take bar soap and rub it on my head. That's my treatment for my head. But that's it, yeah. We're looking at an ad. It says, Chrome Your Dome. Pure beeswax and natural ingredients to nourish, soften, and moisturize. I take that back. I sunblock every day. Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. Maybe that's it. All right. You know what it's time for? What? Connoisseur. It's time for the Connoisseur. Every Friday, we learn about

the wonderful food and food opportunities in the Philadelphia area. Presented by Preston Elliott, a veteran of the broadcast industry, he provides you with whimsical takes on all the food you just love to eat. This is true. Along with his wife, Rochelle, and his fam. Okay. Uh,

I have one for you, Steve, and I'm curious as to what you will think about this. Yes. Exciting news for Nutella lovers. Yes, I am a Nutella lover. Living in the United States, this is specifically for the U.S. Nutella eaters, a new flavor is coming, and it's been over $6.

decades since the brand launched a different version of its original innovation, but it is happening. You know, I have a lot of hate with Nutella because I thought Nutella, oh, this is a I love the taste of this and this is an option to kind of a chocolate vibe and I can't

It's very high in calories. Well, yeah. I mean... Yeah, and I'm like... Yeah, it's... Because one of the best cakes I ever had was frosted with a Nutella-type frosting. I'm like, this is delicious. So you thought maybe it was lower-cal? I was working under a false assumption. Yeah, anything super sweet, it's going to be... It's going to be high-cal. I mean, I thought...

I was going to take less. It turns out it's probably more. My kids go... Listen, I could take or leave Nutella. I don't really care. It's not like I don't like it, but I don't gravitate towards it. But I can't keep it in the house with the kids, especially my son. Oh, they blow right through it? Oh, blows right through it. Yeah. I wonder what they'll think about this because Nutella peanut...

will hit shelves next year. And according to the announcement from Ferrero, its parent company, it combines the distinctive creaminess of Nutella, cocoa, hazelnut spread with the delicious taste of

of roasted peanuts. Now, I was wondering, sounds like peanut butter to me. It sure does. But Nutella has a different consistency than peanut butter. It does. It's creamier. Yeah, I didn't realize it was Ferrero. I love those little Ferrero balls. I do not. I think they're overrated. I don't think they're that good. If somebody gave me those for the holidays, I'd shoot them.

My mom always has them in her little... People love them and I'm a hazelnut fan. I just don't like them. I would prefer the Ghirardelli squares over the Ferrero suckers. I like both. I like Ferrero and I like Nutella. Steve, I was completely hoodwinked by the hazelnut claim and I guess it is a hazelnut spread. But I'll give you a fun fact or a great way to try the Nutella. You'll speak comfort to me?

No, no, no. It's still going to be bad for you. Nothing that I say from here on out is actually going to make it any better for you or have fewer calories. However, if you were to take a baguette and slice it in half and put it in the toaster oven, and then when it gets out, apply a little bit of Nutella to it, that is a fine-ass dessert right there. Dude, I'm shooting already. Okay. All right. So Michael Lindsay, the president and chief business officer, said these innovations will engage both loyal fans and new consumers, boosting our power brands.

and further solidifying her position as a category leader in North America. What could be even more thrilling than a new flavor is the fact that the product will be made in Chicago. Chicago? Which will create dozens of jobs in the Chicago area. Chicago? Yes. Chicago?

So this is basically hazelnut peanut. Yeah. But I don't think there will be any hazelnut in it. It's going to be peanut. Hey, I think I might have been wrong about the things that I like. Are they rocher? Or is that the same thing? No, no, you were right. Is it Ferrero make the rocher balls? Yes, you're exactly right. It's got a hazelnut in the middle. Some of them have different flavors. By the way,

Nutella peanut isn't the only thing Ferrero is dropping. There is a lineup of several products coming soon and that will involve, Casey, whatever those chocolate balls are. They've got new flavors of those coming out. My understanding is that the ones that I've had have had little pieces of hazelnut

On the outside and the inside. There's like little crisps on the outside with a hazelnut and I guess maybe a hazelnut spread on the inside. Yeah. So, yeah. Ferrero Rocher. Yeah, Casey. Rocher. Rocher. I'm sorry. So they are going to be... So it's Al Rocher? Who's Al Rocher? It's Al Rocher.

Oh, yeah, I guess so. I don't know. It's spelled R-O-C-H-E-R. God damn it. Screw you. So we're looking at the inside case. There's the one big hazelnut and there's the little crispy things on the outside. It looks rather vaginal. It does. All right, we have a movie clip to play for you. It has to do with food or beverage. Let's see if we can identify what movie this is from. This whole fridge is held up here just by this plug.

You okay? I'm just dandy. I got a bowl of chocolate pudding in my underpants. We didn't have any pudding in there, buddy. All right, 610-660-9333 if you know what movie that is from. And we are going to have Acme gift cards give away because they sponsor the connoisseur. Yes, they do. Order up. All right, so...

Saudi Arabia will be permitting the sale and limited consumption of alcohol in 2026 under a tightly regulated licensing system as part of its preparation to host major international events including Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup in 2034, according to Saudi media reports. This is interesting because I just watched this travel guru that I follow on his YouTube channel.

went to perhaps the most extravagant resort I've ever seen in Saudi Arabia. Preston, I mean, just resplendent in every way possible. Is it on the Red Sea? I believe it is. Okay. Fully, you know, but this bar, this gorgeous bar, and as he's walking up, he's saying...

This is, this can't be, they were all faux liquors. Not alcohol. Like, they don't drink there at all? Yeah, no. Do they just do ecstasy? Like, you know, I thought that they did some pretty hard drugs over there. That I don't know, but the bar, yeah, it was wild to see this elaborate bar that would be a world-class contender bar in the United States stocked with non-alcoholic alcohol. Yeah, Casey, an alcohol ban has been in place in Saudi Arabia since 1952. Woo!

Prohibiting both citizens and foreigners from consuming alcoholic beverages. The new framework will apply to approximately 600 locations nationwide, including five-star hotels, high-end resorts, diplomatic zones, and tourism developments such as something called Nome Sandala Island and the Red Sea Project. Permitted venues will be allowed to serve beer, wine, and cider.

However, beverages with more than 20% alcohol content, such as spirits, will remain restricted. So it's essentially beer and wine is what you're going to be able to get. But that's a huge step forward for them. Alcohol will not be available in homes, public spaces, retail outlets, or for personal production, as the policy is limited to areas primarily serving international visitors and expatriates. So Dubai doesn't allow...

Alcohol, either, Preston, but the Abu Dhabi do. They do.

I mean, what kind of trouble do you get into if you get caught with a... If I recall, you can get in a fair amount of trouble. You'll be decapitated. Yeah, I mean, like... But you can talk that down. Will they cane you? Listen, they're not screwing around. Yeah. I don't know, Nick, would you see what the charges are for alcohol consumption in Saudi Arabia? This is a stern talking to. So, sales will occur only in authorized settings, like I said, and...

And with licensed service personnel and defined operational procedures, officials emphasize that these regulations are designed to ensure responsible handling and maintain public order in line with local norms. Do you think we'll see a point in a Saudi Arabian bar where somebody will walk in and everyone will go, Fahid! Maybe. Maybe it'll turn into that.

Where everyone knows your name. The licensing system is part of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's national initiative to diversify its economy and expand sectors such as tourism, entertainment, and hospitality. So they're building a huge, there is a huge amount of money going into tourism, and they realized to appeal globally, you're going to have to have some aspect of this. Yeah, that's what the Red Sea Project is all about. And the Red Sea is apparently unbelievably gorgeous. There's good diving there. There's good scuba and snorkel and whatever.

Yeah. It has one of those underwater hotels. Yeah. And they're competing with Egypt, which is a little more Western friendly. And, uh, Egypt has done a great job at developing resorts along the Nile and along the Red Sea. Uh, but Preston, yeah, I pulled up the penalties for alcohol consumption in Saudi Arabia. All right. Fines. Individuals can be fined for consuming and possessing alcohol. Imprisonment. Individuals can be arrested and imprisoned for alcohol violations. Uh,

Foreigners can be deported for violating alcohol laws. And public flogging was a potential penalty but was later reduced in the case of a British man who was caught with homemade wine. So private flogging. Private flogging. That's, you know. You do that in the privacy of your own house. We come to your house. Anything that works with your schedule. Listen, this week's a little tight. Can I be flogged on Tuesday? I'm flogging right now. Yeah.

Regulation and oversight will remain a central focus with misuse or noncompliance subject to penalties. All right, let's see if somebody knows what movie this clip's from. This whole fridge is held up here just by this plug.

You okay? I'm just dandy. I got a bowl of chocolate pudding in my underpants. We didn't have any pudding in there, buddy. All right, we will go to our first caller in, and it is Nick that we are going to talk to. Nick, good morning. Good morning. Carson Daly is a tool. Oh, wow. Old school. Yeah. All right, Nick, what movie?

That would be black sheep. Yes, it is. Absolutely correct. I know black sheep has been dumped on for many years. I'm a fan. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Nick, hang on the line. We'll get your information and we're going to set you up with a $50 Acme markets gift card hungry and in a hurry. I mean, he's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Uh,

Fast Fresh, right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. All right, let's set up another clip. What movie is this one from? Yeah, Homeboy had a meltdown or something. I just wanted to be the first to tell you that I was talking Doritos about you, and they're very interested in you. Hold on, talk to Rick, okay? All right, 610-660-9333 is the number, and we'll see if you can get an answer. It is time for... The Fast Food Roundup.

I got a few stories that have to do with fast food, and we'll begin with this. So, Hamburger Day was just a couple of days ago. Yes, I saw that. So, Wendy's and a few other places have gotten together. They're not getting together, but they have some offers. So, these are special offers in conjunction with National Hamburger Day. So, for five days only, customers at Wendy's will have an opportunity to order a hamburger for one penny.

at the chain. Between now and June 1st, so you don't have much time left, registered Wendy's customers can order a one-cent Junior Bacon Cheeseburger with any purchase. That's a pretty decent size burger. That's the one I usually get. You know, we like the Whopper Junior. Yes. Are you a registered user?

I am not a registered user. Is that the caveat? You have to be, I guess, on their app or something? Well, there's a three-day waiting period, so I'm waiting to find out if I qualify or not. But anyway, I love the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. Number one, they're easier to eat in the car.

And number two, sometimes you don't want the whole giant burger. And it's perfect. It's the perfect size. So it comes with bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and American cheese. The digital offer can be redeemed in the Wendy's app or on the chain's website. There you go. Customers can take advantage of 100 days of savings this summer starting June 7th. Each week, the chain will roll out a new offer in its app. And to kick it off, customers can order a $1 Dave's single with any purchase available.

each Saturday between June 7th and July 26th. Now, Burger King's rewards members can score a free hamburger with a $1 purchase at participating restaurants. Dairy Queen customers, if you go to ones that serve food, besides desserts, who order a signature stack burger will get a second one for 99 cents between now and the 1st. Red Robin is hosting a Burgers for a Year sweepstakes. Rewards members will get

be entered when they buy a burger and beverage and new members who join the program in May, so late today, today and tomorrow, last day, will also be entered. They have the same offer at Urgent Care, I heard, Preston. What? Burgers for a year. Oh, wow. At Urgent Care. Shake Shack, customers can score a free Shack burger with any $10 purchase using the code BURGERMONTH through June 1st.

At Smash Burger, single burgers will sell for $5.28 on May 28th. So I'm sorry, I'm late with that one. And then Wayback Burger. I like Wayback Burgers. I have not had. Yeah, there's one near us. The chain is selling a $5 classic burger on May 28th. And then, so if you missed it, you missed it. They're running exclusive deals for rewards members throughout the end of the month. So check your local burger joint for specials on burgers. Do you know anybody who is, and I bring this up because my wife is...

kind of staunchly anti-Smash Burger. Oh. But enjoys a good regular burger. Okay. Yeah, I mean, listen, they flatten them out. Yeah. You don't get to... They're sometimes not as juicy as a thicker patty. Right. And the thicker patty can be cooked to temperature. Sure. Usually a Smash Burger is well done all the way through. I like them both. I like them both. Yeah, I think they're great. There are times when a Smash Burger is exactly what I want. I grew up on that because...

Steak and Shake was the chain where I grew up in St. Louis. And they would smash them down flat like that. They called them steak burgers. Steak burgers. And I loved them. I like it. So speaking of smashing, Scrapple. If you like your Scrapple well done, ask for them to smash it and then go well done. Honestly, that's the only Scrapple spam. For me, the way I would always eat.

Especially Spam would be fried and crushed down. All right. Chick-fil-A is another fast food store is bringing back its fan favorite peach milkshake starting on June 9th. Just in time to kick off summer with a sweet creamy bank. It is so good.

Is it? Because I love peaches, but I usually don't like strawberry shakes. I don't like fruit shakes. Oh, really? No. Man, the peach shake is fantastic. Will you hold my hand while I drink it? I will. They'll roll this out. They're also rolling out a new peach frosted lemonade for a tart twist on the Fruity Favorite. The frosted lemonade's there? I didn't know it was frosted when I ordered it. Oh, my God. Love it? Oh, God, yeah. Okay.

If that's not enough, the Tropical Pineapple Dragon Fruit Drink. Dragon Fruit drinks are sticking around through August 16th as well. And then one last fast food story.

McDonald's is staying up late this summer, and you can as well. Most Mickey D's locations will now keep flipping burgers past midnight to satisfy your late-night fry cravings. So refresh my memory. McDonald's used to, at least a lot of the McDonald's that I would go to if I say coming back when I was doing stand-up or whatever from years ago, up late, out late, would be open until like midnight and quite often past that.

Did that stop during COVID? No. Well, I guess it depends on the franchise. The one near me, I think, has only been open until 10, as long as I've lived in the area. But I remember way, way back when, in the late 1980s,

when Wendy's announced that the drive-thru would be open until 2 a.m. Yes. And that was awesome because I worked at a restaurant and I worked until closed. And always packed. And I got tired of eating the food at the restaurant and I wanted to eat somewhere else. No, it was always packed, but it was there.

And I could just drive through and snag some food on the way home. It has to depend on the franchise because the one that I worked at growing up and the one that I still go to near the Gateway Shopping Center, Steve, they close at 11. Okay. So, yeah, maybe if you're in the city or in a more trafficked area where people can walk or, you know, people are getting out of the bars, they'll stay open later. There was a Jack in the Box, you know, in the town that I grew up in.

And they had that. It seemed like it was 24 hours, but it wasn't. But they always seem to be open. And that drive through is always hopping. Nice. All right. That's it for the fast food roundup. Let's play that clip again. See if somebody knows what this food or beverage clip is from. Yeah. Homeboy had a meltdown or something. I just wanted to be the first to tell you that I was talking Doritos about you and they're very interested in you. Hold on. Talk to Rick. OK. All right. We're going to go to Gary and see if he knows the answer to that. Hey, Gary. Good morning, bud.

Hey, gentlemen. Sorry to bother you at work on a Friday. All good, buddy. All right. Do you happen to know what movie that is from, sir?

I do, but before I answer, I have to say thanks to Casey Boyd. Now I'm going to put Smash Scrapple on my burger this weekend and get another $20. Please take a picture of that and send it to me. I will absolutely do that. The answer to that is from Jerry Maguire. You got it, buddy. Hang on. And you get yourself a $50 Acme Markets gift card. And don't forget about Acme's Flash Grocery. Deliver your pickup. Get your fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. To act.

May. Alright, we'll have another clip queued up. Let's see if you know what movie this is from. Hey, shut your trap or you're not getting that cheesy bread. I want my cheesy bread! Then shut up! Yes. I gotta save that. I didn't even know what movie that is from, but call now, 610-660-9333. I love that clip. Alright. Order up!

We love cheese here, right? Oh my God. I'm a big cheese fan. Absolutely. If you would like to read the earliest known English book on cheese. I would. You're in luck. That'll be the first book my book club reads. The universe. Cheese.

The University of Leeds Cultural Collections have announced that they have transcribed the Curious Books contents, revealing some rules about cheese consumption that we didn't see coming. It's titled, A Pamphlet Compiled of Cheese Containages

contain nine the differences nature qualities and goodness of the same man this dates back to the 1580s they knew how to write a title back then at which time there were apparently some strong opinions about what different cheeses did to the body so according to the unknown authors the unknown author dogs milk

Quote, doth cause a woman to be delivered of her child before time. It helps to mention of the birth of the child. So this is dog's milk cheese. Do you have any dog's milk cheese? Now, camel, mare, and, and I'm not making this up, ass milk cheese.

appeared to be acceptable cheese choices. Do we have any ass milk? Perhaps, reassuringly, human milk was not on the cards, but camel, mare, and...

And ass milk. What? All right. We have to now find out what is in like a donkey. Yeah. So it would be the animal. So they milk it. Oh, I had that wrong. I'm going to apologize to our dinner guests this evening. You may forego that one pitcher there.

There are also some views on the timing of your cheese enjoyment, including eating it at the end of a meal so that it can basically squash the rest of your meal down where the digestion is best. It also considers whether eating during religious events is appropriate or not because of the use of animal rennet in its creation, something that we still use in cheeses like Parmesan to this day. For a young lady approaching her P.

period, she may partake of famanda cheese. So the fact that animal rennet is used to this day, it explains why Parmesan isn't considered vegetarian. True, yeah. There's still a bunch of countries that drink ass milk or donkey milk, including Italy, France, China, Bolivia, and Chile. And so, yeah, it's not uncommon for people around the world to drink donkey milk. Ass milk. I wonder if there is a...

Listen, between the various animals that do generate milk and where milk people consume, I have not really had a lot of them. I wonder if there is a marked difference. Like, would I say, oh, I'm an ass man now, maybe after my ass milk, or...

Because I do 2%, 1% of fat-free milk. Cow milk. Yeah, cow milk. I wonder which animals are the easiest to milk. Not necessarily in the amount, but... The ones with the biggest jugs. No, the ones that actually let you do it. Yeah, that want you to do it. That get off on you. Is it pretty easy to milk a sheep?

Yeah, so there's sheep's milk, goat's milk, obviously cow milk, camel milk. When you had mentioned dog, I was like, I think a dog is going to let you. Well, maybe, I guess. Depends on how they're trained. All right. Here are animals that produce milk other than cows. Giraffe, reindeer, sheep, zebu.

Horse or donkey, buffalo, yak, goat, camel, and cockroach. Okay, I'm not going to figure cockroach out. But anyway, Casey, I would imagine if, you know, it's not like they're going to go around and really hold an animal down because, well, you know, it'd be too much effort to try and milk it. So, I don't know. I would love to see a cockroach dairy farm. Yeah. There's a cockroach in the stairwell to the fifth floor. Dead? That's been there.

for the better part of a month. Hi, Nick. I'm at the point now where it's become an experiment for me. Because I could pick it up. I could throw it away. To see how long it'll take. I kid you not, for a couple of months there was a backwoods smoked cigar

What? Sitting in one of the stairwells. In one of the stairwells? I left it there. Yeah. It was a cigar in a package still just laying on the ground. And I did the same thing. I left it. I'm like, I'm going to wait and see. And either nobody is walking up and down the stairs. Right. Or...

people just don't want to help clean up. Or I guess maybe maintenance doesn't clean up the stairs. Well, then I'll bring this up now. For about three weeks, there's been a gutted bonobo in Chuck D'Amico's office. Oh, my God. I don't know what that's about. That's weird, man. Nick, I had a cockroach over in this stairwell for months and months and months. Okay. So I guarantee you, well, they might hear us talking about it and they might clean it up now. I don't know. I've not seen a cockroach

Within these, I've seen mice. We've had mice. Never seen cockroaches. I just sent you guys a picture, so take a look. If you're going up in between the fourth and fifth floor, down by the bathrooms that are closest to our kitchen, you'll see them. I use locker number 116 at the gym, and I had to move over to 117 because...

it just kept getting more and more trash in it. It started with like a, there was a thing of chapstick in the base. And then it was chapstick and then like something else. And then there was bottles. And it just kept accruing more and more. I'm like, isn't somebody supposed to clean this out? Is that what you pay your membership for? Do you assume that they occasionally clean out the lockers? Yeah. But I mean, it basically, it got to the point where I was like, okay, so this is basically just a trash can right now. So I'm going to say something to somebody. Okay. Let us know how that plays out for you.

It's a book about cheese. All right. Cheese. Then we're going to wrap it up. All right. Here's the clip. We're going to see if somebody knows what this is from. Hey, shut your trap or you're not getting that cheesy bread. I want my cheesy bread. Then shut up. All right. We go to Stephanie for the answer. Hi, Stephanie. Hey, Gadzooks. Gadzooks. What movie is that from?

Mr. Woodcock. Yes, Mr. Woodcock. There's Billy Bob Thornton in that movie, right? Yes. All right, hang on. Steph, we're going to give you that $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry, you got to try Acme's Flash Grocery. Deliver your pickup. Get your fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Here is another clip that we will play that has to do with food or drink. Let's see if you know what it's from. Here we go. What a way to start my new life.

with the perfect egg sandwich. All right. 610-660-9333. I've never heard of this movie. Me neither. All right. Let's see if somebody out there knows. All right. 610-660-9333. What is that from? Order up. All right. I'm doing this as a public service. All right. I saw this article and it makes perfect sense in my assessment on how to choose a ripe avocado. Okay.

Avocados are tricky. So you had actually, we talked a while ago about an actual device that you could bring that would help facilitate the judgment process. And I don't remember if that's become widespread enough. I haven't seen it. You talked about it and I haven't seen much more about it. So this is according to eight culinary pros. They agree that you should analyze the following features as you shop for avocado.

Number one is the color. The first detail is the peel. A ripe avocado usually has a darker, thinner, almost black-green skin. Avoid avocados with light green skin. Those are too firm, and black skin is too mushy. Now, it also depends on when you're going to be using it. If you're going to be using this in three or four days, you get the lighter color one. If you need it,

today or tomorrow, get the darker colored. An emergency alicata. Instead, you need to look for skin that is rich, very dark green, and that's the just right. Now, the skin texture. The skin should be firm but not hard and free from cracks. Look for a smooth or slightly bumpy or pebbled texture. Avoid ones with large indentations, which can be a sign of bruising inside. And it has to have an amount of give to it. This is what

I mainly use. I use the color, and then I use this. If you're aiming to use your avocados within the next couple of days, it should give slightly under pressure. When you squeeze it, you should feel a little give. Especially near the stem, just a little bit. If it has a little bit of give but isn't mushy, that's the sweet spot. If it's too firm, it's not ready yet. If it's too soft or sunken in, you got to pass and move on. Just be sure to handle it with care. You want to give a little squeeze but not a full-on squeeze.

is you don't want to potentially damage another shopper's fruit. Do you use the mallet test at all? I don't use the mallet test. Put it on a table and smash it with a mallet? I have not tried that yet. That might be a good method. I don't know. I'm surprised more supermarkets don't provide a complimentary mallet. Do you refrigerate your avocados at any point? No.

Yes, you can. And it says this in this article. Once they're ripe, you can throw them in the fridge and you'll get a day or two out of them. Sometimes if I buy them ripe, I will just put them in the fridge. You usually get them a day or two before you got to toss them. They're similar to bananas. The mushier and softer the banana gets, the more...

closer you are to it being overripe. It brings it right back to a little bit of cockroach milk. Oh, yeah. So also the weight. A heavier avocado is usually a good indication that the flesh is creamier than its hollow feeling or light peers. Light avocados often air on the dry or stringy side. Now, here's the deal. If you're going to be

If you're going to be eating avocados regularly, they say you should use a rotation in them. Unless you're throwing a party or making a week's worth of guacamole, you want to skip the large pre-filled bags of avocados. Oh. And don't stock up on avocados that are all the same level of ripeness. I mean, Rochelle buys the bag thing, and we always end up throwing a bunch of them away. When you said rotation, I thought the eater had to rotate in place. No, no.

If you do risk that full bag that they all ripen at the same time and then go bad, it's wasteful. To steer clear of the issue, they suggest a mix of avocados at different stages of the ripeness range. Four days before, snag avocados that ripen.

are slightly lighter skin and that are firm all over, around day two or three, they'll be ripe. At that point, they can be stored in the fridge, Nick. You just bring them to room temperature before using. I didn't know that part. The easiest way to keep a steady supply all week long is to do it that way without needing to make another emergency grocery run. Do you have a steady supply? Are you the kind of person who's always eating avocados? Two or three at a time. Really? I try to go to the grocery store like twice a week, and it's a...

Every time I go to the grocery store. And look, I agree with everything that Preston said. I think it was a terrific assessment. I take a lot of pride when you nail it. When you do a great job with it and you slice one of those bad boys open and it's perfectly ripe, that's a good feeling. Yeah, I agree. All right, we'll see if anybody knows what this clip is from. Here we go. What a way to start my new life.

with the perfect egg sandwich. All right, we will go to... I have Tater Tot Kitty's joining us this morning. Hey, Tater Tot Kitty. Hey, YouTube. YouTube! All right, do you happen to know what movie that is from?

It is Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One, Harley Quinn. There you go. She gave the whole title. Well, so what I have written here, it says the movie is Harley Queen. Oh. A motorcycle queen. Harley Quinn.

Marissa got that incorrectly. And I think that Tater Tot Kitty did get it right. So hang on the line. We're going to get your information and we are going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. If you're hungry in a hurry, you got to do the flash grocery delivery or pick up and get your fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less from Acme. All right. We have time for one more.

So let's play this clip and see if you know what movie this is from. French night. Ooh la la. Come with me to see Casper. What's a Casper? We are friends.

French fries. French dressing. Oh, see French toast. And for dessert, we've got ice cream. French vanilla. And French kissing with gum. All right, 610-660-9333 is our number call if you know what movie that's from. All right, last order up. Let's see, I was going to do this one about...

Yeah, we'll do this for the little strawberry. So this is either a statement of the year or of the year's crops or a statement on IQ. Shoppers at Tesco, this is in the UK, Sainsbury's, Marks and Spencer and other UK supermarkets are finding giant strawberries this summer.

What the hell is that? The berries are about 20% bigger than usual, weighing around 50 grams each due to perfect weather conditions. The sunny April, the brightest since 1910, along with cool nights, help

Help the strawberries grow large and sweet. Look at the size of that strawberry. The bigger berries are already on store shelves just in time for Wimbledon in July when people love eating strawberries with cream. But this year, stores are actually warning shoppers

to not try to eat them in one bite. They actually issued a warning that they are too big for your mouth and that you could accidentally choke on them. You have a crisis situation going on. People are choking to death on strawberries. I am a strawberry fan, and when you get, Nick, it's like the great avocado. When you get one that is juicy, red, and perfectly ripe, and a large one, it is...

You explode in your pants. Heaven on earth. So we were just out. We did this wolf sanctuary, which was terrific. And we were in Jersey, so we picked up some blueberries and some strawberries. And we basically almost ate everything on the way home in the car because they were so godly and good. I tried to grow them one year in the garden and didn't do a great job with it. We got a few fruit that bloomed or whatever. But I think...

It's one of those things that it's hit or miss if you try and grow them in your home garden, and we missed. I've not tried growing fruit. I mean, tomatoes are fruit. We're growing those. But we're trying for the first time ever. Rochelle just bought the plant, an eggplant. An eggplant. I have no idea how that's going to turn out. That's usually, well, in my experience, not that bad. Oh, okay. Eggplant, peppers, for whatever reasons, they seem to grow pretty well in Pennsylvania. Yeah.

we have blueberry bushes. Those haven't yielded one bit of fruit. No, and we tried it too for like two years. It's one of these things that you have to keep year after year and it matures more. I guess. That's what I thought I heard. Who's got that kind of time? But we killed it. No, we've got tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and a whole bunch of herbs. Herbs are going crazy right now. That's cool. It's great.

There's a wild raspberry bush around the corner from where our house is. And I think those are right around 4th of July. And we can just go and pick those right off the bush. Love it. All right, we'll see if we can find out what movie this is from. French night. Ooh la la. Come with me to see Casbah. What's a Casbah? We have French fries. French dressing. Ooh, see French toast. And for dessert.

We've got ice cream. French vanilla. And French kissing. We come. All right, we are going to go to... I'm trying here. Oh, God. All right, I got Joe. Hi, Joe, you're on the air. Good morning. How are you doing? Awesome, Joe. You have any idea what movie that's from?

Four keeps. Four keeps. Does that disconnect? Hang on just a second. For you, my friend, Joe, we're going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry in a hurry. Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors.

We're wrapping up the connoisseur segment, but we do have some friends that are going to be joining us when we return. We'll get back with our buddy Kyle Pagan and Matt Peeples.

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

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thanks, Marissa. And real quick before we welcome our next guest, we were talking off air about how many charity events are coming up that we're doing. Like Nick's got the big climb tomorrow. I have the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event tomorrow as well. But there's one we want you to participate in outside of those NCI Believe for Preston and Steve Blood Drive events.

It's our 20th annual event. Unbelievable, man. It's coming up June 12th, so it's going to be here before you know it. Thursday, June 12th, live casino in Hotel Philadelphia, and then we're doing a two-dayer Friday where we will be broadcasting live June 13th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks. So you can go to WMMR.com and get all the information there because we want to have as many people as possible. Oh, and by the way, all donors get

Get the newest Preston and Steve t-shirt. This was designed by a listener named Kristen Kimball, and we met her at the live broadcast from Coco's in Clearwater. She brought out this shirt she made of the Philly skyline, all with our names in it, and we fell in love with it.

And we asked her if it was cool if we'd turn this into our promotional shirt to give away for that. And she said yes. So we're excited to debut that and get it to you. And also you get a Preston and Steve show tote bag from Wendon Nation. They always offer up some cool things too. Yeah, I love that. So that is coming up. Details, like I said, WMMR.com. Make sure you come and join us if you can.

All right, two guests in the studio. One we know very well. Second one we're meeting for the first time. We would like to first and foremost welcome our friend from Crossing Broad, Mr. Kyle Pagel. He is here. Good to see you, Kyle. How you doing? Always a pleasure. Thanks for having me, guys. You got it. And next to you, your partner on the microphone, and we'll talk about your live broadcast event, podcast event for Men at Work. This is Matt Peoples. Peoples is Peoples.

How you doing, man? I'm great. Thanks for having me, guys. I appreciate it. Absolutely. How long have you guys been doing this show, Minute Work? About a year and a half now. All right. 55 episodes in. Okay. It's wild because you got in just at the beginning of podcasting. That's what we need. Two more white guys doing a podcast. We're not done.

You know, it's funny, though, because we talk about this all the time about, you know, algorithms and who's making it work and who's not. And it's show business. It's all the same things and all the same foibles and all the same issues occur. But if you love it, you're passionate about it. You guys are driven by, you know, your passion for sports and everything else as well. You know, very creative content creators. You love it. But it's like...

It's like sometimes you look at the list, you know, the list of it. It's like five million separate podcasts. So how do you cut through it? Did you have a plan at the beginning? Did you say we're going to be the one that does live sacrifices or what? You know, how did you immediately decide you wanted to break from the pack? Isn't the funny thing about podcasts is they always come back to radio to promote their shows. Yeah.

We need you guys. Thank you so much for having us on. But cutting through it? Yeah. Dude, there's no cutting through it. It's just a clip farm until, you know. That's all it is. I don't know, one of your buddies makes it in comedy and starts selling out arenas and just brings everybody with him, I think. That's what we're hoping for. I'll tell you what, though. You guys, at least you're operating on a known umbrella like Crossing Broad, right? And Kyle, we've been friendly with you for a couple of years.

and what caught my eye initially, and I love what you guys do. I think it's really well done, but it was the most bare-bones podcast I've ever seen in my life. It was like a table that you found probably in a dumpster somewhere. You had nice microphones and good headphones. Beyond that, I don't think you spent very much money. It's just got good conversation. You guys would set up outside the ballpark and just interact with people like fans, but

there is direction to it. It's not just talking to talk. You guys are doing a good job at like having a direction as to where you're actually going to take it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, direction. Eh, I don't know. Not really much. But we're waiting for those chairs to break, dude. You got it wrong. You guys have done a lot on that.

Not many. I think we're borrowing literally everything we're using. My aunt gave us the table. It's huge for us, dude. This makes it unique, right? There's four missing chairs in the Memorial Day barbecue. Wow, well, there you go. But it doesn't matter if the content is good, and I think your content is really good. Thank you. I'm sure he's in the wrong way.

Who cares if it sucks? It's good he went that way. Next in line will still book you. All right, for those who have not heard it, how would you describe the MinuteWork podcast? We did it... I came to Matt with the idea. We met actually through another podcast. We're doing it because I think people...

with their jobs a lot, for good or for worse. You know, you guys have been doing this for 30 years now, 40 years now. Like, I'm sure the first time you meet new people, they're like, what do you do for a living? Yeah. That's always like the first couple of questions and everything. Yeah. And people have interesting jobs. You know, sometimes they're in accountants and we just kick them off the podcast because they're the most boring people in the world. Mm-hmm.

but sometimes we go to a furry convention and we talk to them and they're EMTs or they're NASA scientists or something like that. It's crazy the amount of furries that run the world. It is true. So you basically, you grab people off the street, you grab people and you just sit them down and talk to them. I love...

love that type of journalism. I love that type of meet the average person. Everybody's got an interesting story. It's the interviewer's role to bring it out of them. And if you can get it out of them, sometimes you get gold. Well, Paul Mercurio, who writes for Colbert and his longtime daily shows, he has certainly the chops. He does a show now that is basically on stage. He'll do a little bit of a stand-up, but his conceit has always been there are...

many more interesting stories in that audience than he's going to bring. And that's how he conducts the show. And it's been a big hit. So, you know, Frank Oz is producing it. So that's, you got some credit there. So, have you two now entered the world of the furries yourselves? Oh, we are in. They are a tempting crowd. They are. When you see a seven-foot fox that's wearing, like, lingerie, you get some thoughts. It's something, yeah. And they'll be the...

most Philadelphia furry? I mean, could you be a fanatic furry or a gritty furry? I would say gritty and fanatic are furries. Would that work though? Because they're so, do they transcend furrydom in their, is everything up for grabs?

There's a lot up for grabs at these conventions. You can grab just about anything. There's a lot going on. It's mostly generic animals and not mascots, though, is it? Well, I think it's like for the most part, it's like dogs and foxes. We saw a lot. A lot of foxes. We had a lot of comments on the video that we did where they were like, they're kind of sexualizing us. We don't appreciate that. And it's like, well, you are wearing assless checks. There's only really one way I can answer that. Do they demur from the, because there clearly is a fetish.

That's part of it. But do they try to demur from that or do they embrace it at all? Oh, they embrace it. Okay. And it's funny because like the costumes are so expensive that like it's kind of like a transformer in a way where they might start with like just the hands and just the tail and maybe the head. And then when they go full bodysuit, it's like they're Optimus Prime. Do a lot of them make it, make their own costumes?

No. Oh, really? No, a lot of them were bald. These are like five, $10,000 costumes. That's one of the actually, we didn't know this at the time, but that's one of the most famous furries of all time. That guy's name's Nice. All right, we're looking at a video of a guy who is a fox of sorts, and he's green and white, and you guys are interviewing him in this clip. And so-

He's one of the most famous furries, and his mouth articulates as he speaks. That's pretty damn cool. And that's a couple thousand dollars. That's a motor in that mouth. Yeah. Seriously. It's crazy. So it picks up on what he's saying and moves accordingly by what the microphone is doing. I mean, not to be pedantic about this, but do you actually hear the gears of the motor as he's talking? No, honestly. Then that's a high-quality costume. Yeah.

This is pretty wild. And I know how expensive these things are because years ago we had looked into creating a Preston and Steve mascot. It was the worst. And it was just, I was like, oh yeah, we don't have thousands of dollars for this. And so we had a guy who tried to make us a costume. It was supposed, I don't know what, it ended up looking like a pepperoni slice. I thought it looked like a tag. It was supposed to be a scab.

Okay. Because I told a story one time about I ate a scab. And so I was therefore branded the scab eater after that. And so we tried to make a giant scab. Mascot, it didn't work. You had any leftover parts? We'll bring it on ours. Sure, why not? We'll dress our cameraman up in the scab. You ate a scab? What's that? You ate a scab? And like you haven't. Please. Please. I stick to boogers. We're adults. It wasn't just one scab.

Who did you fly with? Was it the, uh, when you flew in the fighter? Oh, the blue angels had a helmet said scabric on it. Um, Kyle, I wanted to ask you about, uh, cause I've watched a bunch of the ones that you guys have produced for, for men at work podcast and the videos. I think they're really well done. My favorite one thus far was with the governor and we had the governor come to, uh, Shapiro come to camp out for hunger. Um,

regardless of politics that guy's just fun he's a philly sports fan he and he gives punches he takes punches and you tossed a jab his way and then he tossed one right back and you let our listeners know what happened with your interview with the governor which which jab well about him showing up in your living room yeah dude you guys had him at camp out for humber i had him in my apartment i'm gonna win this one i'm taking the win on this one yeah but uh it's so cool

It's very nerve-wracking before when there's just like state cops coming through your apartment and be like, where's all the exit doors? They have to. Guys definitely got his hand on his piece ready to go and everything. But man, the governor is a cool dude. Like Nick said, regardless of politics or whatever, he's as normal as you can be in a position of power that high. But you ask them what he does for a living. Yeah, well, we treat every...

with respect day to day. Yeah, we can't read, dude. That's really what we're saying. Did the state cops ask why that bong was on the table? They did. They did. By the way, he dropped a number of F-bombs on our show. Yeah, it was pretty wild. He cool got it up. We liked it. The only thing he's ever done that I was like, oh, come on, why'd you say that? It was at the Super Bowl parade when he called the Eagles the America's team. I'm like, don't do that. Don't do that. We don't need any more targets on us. Would you rather just talk for 10 minutes like the mayor did? Yeah.

There is that thing. Either you have it or you don't. And the mayor is actually, she was great at the campout as well. But either you can read social cues or you cannot. And when you've got thousands of faces looking at you like, we did not come for this. She had quite a run too. E-L-G-S-E-S-L-A-N-D.

I mean, it was her Super Bowl run. So what occupations are on the roster? What is your holy grail of occupations to secure? Does the random nature of what you do lend it? I mean, can you create a list, a bucket list, or just get what you get? We had an airline attendant who was very firm that the airline, what are they called? Stewardess? Air stewardess? Flight attendant. Flight attendant. Good call. Aerial prostitute. No, no, no.

We had an airline attendant who was very firm that they're being mistreated very often. How they deal with people flying all the time, they have no clue how people can be that rude to somebody that's in a service industry. But she was great. She did like 35 minutes of the podcast for us. I agree with that too. Did you know they don't get paid while you board the plane? Really? That's crazy. They only get paid during the actual flight. There's no clock that they're on? No, it's crazy. It is per flight? You think by the time they wake up,

So the time they go back to the hotel, I would assume that's when flight attendants get paid. But no, as long as the doors are closed, the flight's going on,

Then they get paid. That's the kind of stuff we learn. So it's an hourly wage? It's not a... I think what they probably do, they probably restrict it to the parameters of the flight itself. Like from departure to landing. So when they land and the people are leaving the plane, are they then off the clock? They're off the clock. Why are they standing at the front of the... I'd be in a hasty retreat.

I'm out of here. I wouldn't do anything. I'm not getting you a pillow. I'm not getting you a blank. I'm not doing anything. Eat me. Hot towel. I'm not on the clock. That's the two worst things too about flying. If it was a flight attendant, getting on, telling people, sir, we're about to leave. Can you put

up your little seat or whatever. Yeah. And with the stories that we have and they're constant now about people having their meth hit just at the worst time and they're running up and down the aisle naked. Preston has them all the time on the Bizarre File. And they're not even getting paid for running up for that guy naked. No. No.

By the way, so tonight you guys are, this is the live podcast you're doing. Where are you going to be? Right behind Union Transfer. Okay, cool. 10th and Spring Garden, I believe it is. Just outside? Yeah, no, no. We're going to be at the place called The Coop, 1025 Hamilton at 8 p.m. Okay, and at this, are you going to be talking to audience members? Yeah, so people are going to come by. We're going to have a little bowl out there. Tell us what you do. We'll go back in the green room, pick kind of our favorite five and stuff, and then we'll bring you up on stage and

just like we're doing a podcast, but we're doing it live in front of a studio audience. You guys are really good at it and obviously that's the whole crux of everything that you're doing stage-wise. It translates well. I mean, you've done this before, I assume, in a live stage presentation like, is this the first time? Really? Technically,

Typically, we do it in front of an audience. You do it all the time. Yeah, yeah. So it's just the venue. These ones are paying. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You're getting paid now, which is the thing. Yeah. They can't kick us out of this one. That's right. So tonight is a test. And if it goes very well. Yes. This is the beginning of a new entertainment dynasty. Exactly. There we go. That's what I'm saying. All right. And if it doesn't go well.

You guys got any, any, any help? I guess we're talking about a mascot. We need jobs. Who would look good in a scab costume? While we, while we have you guys here, it's been a pretty good month for the Phils. May treated them really well. You know, Reese Hoskins and the Brewers coming to town this weekend. I'm going to the game tomorrow, which I'm excited about. I think it's all three games this weekend are national TV broadcasts. I think we get to Apple TV tonight and then maybe ESPN on Sunday. Anyway, what are your thoughts of where the team's going? Kyle, start with you. And, you know, what are you thinking about the Phils thus far? No, I,

I really, really like this team. I knew they were kind of falling in like the Sixers mode a little bit, being like regular season doesn't matter. Prove to me in the playoffs that you can do something. But these guys are really good. And they're winning. They're beating up on teams that stink right now. But the alternative could be they lose to these teams that stink. And then everyone would say this guy is falling and everything. So just enjoy it. We're in the middle of May.

And I do think they are a World Series contender. Yeah, I'd be surprised if they don't. I mean, look, I thought last year that they were going to win the World Series and then they bowed out in the first round. So don't take my predictions with more than a grain of salt. But they're a really good team. They're also a really likable team. This is a team where you can look at every member on the roster and be like, oh, I like this guy for this. And what this guy, you know, Cassidy brings to that. And Schwarber does all this charity work. And Schwarber's season thus far has just been unbelievable. Yeah.

Matt's a big Phillies fan. What are your thoughts on it? Yeah, I totally agree with everything you said. I watch every game. I'm not thinking that's true. I love those guys. Bryce Harper, he's hot. Whatever it is. Matt's lasered in on the NBA draft. I am, yeah. I'm a big Sixers guy, unfortunately. He's back to the process area. He's feeling right at home. When are we free to not trust the process? Well, I made a mistake a couple years ago. Oh, boy!

He just rolled up his sleeve on his left forearm. It says, trust the process. That was one that, before I got it, I explained it to the girl. I was like 20 years old. And I explained it to the girl. And she's like, what do you actually want to get? And I was like, that's pretty hurtful, lady. Here's a picture of my dong. And it's weird to say...

That I thought the process was working. I really did. And then Colangelo ruined it. Like, they should have just left Hinckley where he was. And, like, we were doing well. And then Colangelo came in and he collapsed the whole thing. Our team was poised to be what the Oklahoma City Thunder is right now. Nailed it, Casey. And we're not. And we barely have any assets. Thankfully, we have the number three pick. I...

I don't even know what to do with that. Sam Hinckley should have just taken a job in a small market in the middle of nowhere and let it just kind of play out. Because when we're in a top five media market, the NBA meddled that we were affecting the bottom line. And now look at Sam Presti and Oklahoma City Thunder. We were talking to – it was Eric D'Alessandro, right? Yes, sir. And we were talking about the notion that –

Is it fair for the fan base to get riled, the supporters of the team to get riled when they're not performing? And he made a very lucid point. He's a Knicks fan, by the way. Yeah, Knicks fan. But the idea of what it costs to go...

to any of these things. It has gone up so exponentially. It used to be the pastime of the working man and woman and the family that just pulling it together for a good afternoon or an evening out is now something that is a high-ticket item at every level. That, yes, you do have the right to benefit

bitch and piss and moan about that. Do you agree with that? Yeah, when you pay $27 for a stateside, you can scream at like 12 feet for at least 20 minutes. That should be included in the price. That's part of the ticket price. Right, right, yeah. I think it's a salient point. Buy your Wings tickets now. Go Wings, go Union. Still afford that. That guy on the first line better have it together this season. Help him. Although the $2 Sixers tickets were nice for a little while.

I'm telling you. God. You hate to say it, but man, being able to buy a row for $20 comes second. That was big. Yeah, for my dad back in 2012, he would take me to Sixers games all the time and he's like, this is the height of luxury, big dog. And I was like, you paid $8. I'm like, what?

Could you imagine like you're throwing like a bar mitzvah or whatever and you just buy it out. A whole section. Everybody in the Delaware Valley, my second grade birthday, you know how many phantoms and kicks games I went to? Yeah. Crazy. That was great. I mean, we would do a lot. We do a lot of stuff. We were thinking back about the lingerie football

Oh, yeah. Well, that stuff was fun. Fell off your soul? Soul, yeah. Two-time Arena Bowl champion fell off his soul. I went to one of them. I love that. Casey played with a soul. He suited up one time. Did you? It was ridiculous. I'm actually embarrassed. There's a great picture of him in the full football uniform standing next to Jon Bon Jovi, and Jon is taller than he is. They really should have let me go out for one play. They should have. One play.

But I was sitting on the bench and I don't even know. We were in like the second quarter and I was like, I'm like, I feel like I make a wish kid right now. Marissa brought in the photo. It's on a giant frame. It's on our wall. But this is Casey right here.

Oh, wow. That's pretty cool, right? What's up, 9-3? Yeah, right? Javon Curse? I like that. You know what's funny is it was the first time I had, because I knew that people used smelling salts, right? But these guys, they'll take like 10 of them and they'll put them in a water bottle. And they crack it. Yeah. And they put them in a, like, without any water in it. And so it's just this concentrated ammonia. Jesus. I love that. I didn't know that. And now Rondo's getting suspended for Ozempic. Yeah.

Yeah, but what's going on with that? What's going on? Is Ozempic... Ozempic has no performance-enhancing attributes whatsoever. You don't just want to look hot on the mat? Yeah. You just want to fit into your old graduation suit. I mean, what was the drug that he got suspended for? It was a weight loss drug. I think, and this is me with no medical degree, but I can talk about this because, you know, everybody can have a take nowadays. I think...

I think if they use a weight loss drug, it sometimes masks the TRT on a steroid test. By the way, why dramatically change your physical makeup if you can throw a ball like that? Don't even mess with it. Wait till retirement. Preston, throwing 99 and looking sexy? I know. It's fun. It's fun. But what about you wouldn't be able to throw 99 anymore? That weight's got to have something.

to do with that. I'm telling you, Kyle Schwarber looks pretty sexy hitting 400 foot bombs. You're damn right. The thing that pissed me off about the Alvarado suspension is the 80 games or whatever for the regular season and then he comes back for a month and then suspended again for the playoffs. Why not just either do the whole season including the playoffs

or allow him to come back and then pitch in the playoffs. To me, it's backwards rules. I couldn't agree with you more. Jerks and Profar on the Braves. Comes back game 80 because he got suspended for the season. Now he's going to have 80 games to affect their standings in the playoffs. Right. But you've got to go home when the playoffs hit. I just don't agree with that. Especially when the second...

failed test is a season long suspension. Right. So make it that. Yeah, yeah. I don't understand. I agree with you, Nick. All right. Thank you. He was looking for validation. Well, listen, we do have to wrap the segment up, but I want to remind you guys that the Men at Work live podcast is happening tonight. It's at a place called The Coop.

And it's on Hamilton Street in Philadelphia. You can do a quick search on that and find it. It starts at 8 o'clock, guys? Yes. Very cool. And tickets at nextinlinecomedy.com if you would like to go. So, yes, it is the Men at Work.

Brought to you by Adam Home Services. You can call now for a $49 AC tune-up and they'll even waive the dispatch fee for all your AC, heating, plumbing, or sewer services. Make it adamhomeservices.com. In the United Kingdom, police discovered cocaine hidden inside of a diaper after finding a dad unconscious at a chicken shop. Wait, a chicken shop? Yeah. That's what they call it in England, so I guess a restaurant that serves chicken. Up to...

Up to... That's funny, chicken shop. Yeah. I'll have to remember that one. Up to $10,000. I'm going to the chicken shop. Up to $10,000 of the drug was seized from Stephen McGee after it was found collapsed at Pepe's Piri Piri chicken shop.

The dad to three-year-old child was said to have resorted to dealing, having racked up massive debts for his use of substances, which saw him blow about $1,500 of redundancy pay on his addiction. His mom.

was left in tears as he was locked up in spite of his resolution of getting off cocaine. Liverpool Crown Court heard that police were called to the takeaway restaurant after McGee was found lying unconscious on the floor having suffered a suspected medical episode when officers searched his person in order to establish

Whether the 36-year-old was carrying an medication, they instead discovered 500 bucks in cash, 55 grams of cocaine as well. Ian Criddle, prosecuting the case, detailed how police had visited his home to inform his next of kin in the incident and spoke to his mom. And she was described as appearing worried and trying to conceal something after which a further 19.3 grams of cocaine was found hidden inside of a diaper.

Or a nappy, as they call it in England. Several phones were also seized from the property, while traces of white powder were noted on a child's plate. Under interview, McGee told detectives that his mother was not involved. McGee admitted possession of cocaine with intent to supply, and he was jailed for 30 months. No more going to the chicken shop. No.

Christy Crampton is messed up, was arrested at Sanford Orlando International Airport after hitting a child on an Allegiant Airlines flight to Hagerstown, Maryland. The child, part of a group returning from Disney World, called Crampton fat and Miss Piggy and said she couldn't fit in her seat. Well, that's cruel. So part of me believes this kid deserved to get smacked around a little bit. Yeah, you little prick.

Witnesses said Crampton hit the child with her fist, though. Okay. Well, you start with the fist. A water bottle and slammed his head into a window. Okay. Well, here's where it gets a little dicey. Then shut up!

But I mean, he called her fat and Miss Piggy and said she couldn't fit into the seat. I don't know how old the kid was either. She told police the child was rude and disrespectful during the trip and she took his phone before using violence. He had a phone. The child's family didn't give police a statement. Crampton faces felony child abuse charges and was released on a $10,000 bond. You can't fist punch a kid. Or if you do, just...

Yeah, hide it. So the Nevada Highway Patrol, Sparks Police Department, and Washoe County Sheriff's Office teamed up for a four-hour sting operation at

on the highway in Nevada, on a highway in Nevada, and they issued 147 citations. And Sting completely participated in this. For traffic violations, yes. Sting was on board for this. Yeah, and they did it for like speeding and running red lights. It wasn't on like a freeway, you know, where people would fly by. Excuse me, do you know how fast you were going? Oh my God, it's Sting. It's a Sting operation. Yeah, he walks up, knocks on the window.

The operation was paid for by a joining forces grant. But no, they gave out 147 citations in like four hours. Wow. Yeah. So authorities didn't say if... Pull over, it stinks. If anyone was... It's the police with Sting. Yes! There it is. Authorities didn't say if anyone was arrested, but they focused on areas with lots of traffic problems. 37 citations per hour in that area. Wow.

The pilot of this flight got on the intercom and said, ladies and gentlemen, we have a wildlife situation on the plane. Oh, wow. Passenger Tom Carr recalled. And everyone, he said, was laughing at this point. So Carr was traveling back from California to Madison, Wisconsin when he boarded his connection. He said, when I boarded, everything seemed normal. Then I went to sit down and I overheard a passenger come up to the flight attendant who was standing right where I was. And she said, I think there's a pigeon on this plane.

And according to Kau, the pigeon was walking underneath the seats. A Delta Airlines baggage handler then came aboard and safely removed the bird in time for an on-time pushback from the gate just after 10 p.m. Now, as the plane taxied on the runway, the pilot radioed air traffic control and said, are you ready for this?

There's a pigeon on the airplane and it won't go away. There was another one. Wow. Two pigeons on the flight. Yes. Sounds like a joke. Passengers located a second- And then a rabbi. Pigeon at this time. And the bird took flight in the fuselage looking for a way out. So it's my understanding that any kind of animal that could in any way bite or chew or scratch wires, they have to come back, right? Right.

Yeah, but I don't think that was the case here. I think they just wanted to get this. They're good pigeons. Well, I don't think they have the ability like a rodent would to chew through wires. But he said, so I got my phone out just as it was flying back toward the rear of the cabin. And a passenger in the video stands up and tries to catch it with his jacket. The woman next to me was quite panicky about it. And she said to me, oh, I'm going to need a free wine afterwards.

after this. The flight returned to the gate and Kau said that the same baggage handler returned to take the second bird off of the plane. That's hilarious. I love it. All right, and one last story. I've had a lot of animal stories and I'm going to wrap with one. I'm not going to do like a rap performance or anything like that. The name is Preston and I'm here to say it. All right, so a really...

I'm not going to do it. Not doing it? All right, I'll take a knee. A really muscly kangaroo tried to drown a man in Australia after the two got into a kerfuffle. Have you ever seen some of those jacked kangaroos? Yeah, yeah. So Don James is said to have found himself fighting for his life as the marsupial held him down in floodwaters, which had pooled on the side of the road, only escaping after the animal appeared to become spooked.

Christy Lees, who watched the battle unfold in her rearview mirror, told the BBC it's not every day that a big male kangaroo decides to take you on. Even in Australia, you do not expect to see it. She suspects the very distressed kangaroo had become trapped in the area following the record flooding that happened around there. Ms. Lees was first alerted to the kangaroo's presence.

As she drove down to check the water level, she said two men, one of whom later was identified as Don James, warned them that there was a really big kangaroo just around the next parked car. And sure enough, there was the kangaroo. She said as big as a car. It was standing next to him. Maybe that's overestimating. The next thing, Ms. Lee knew. As big as a skyscraper. The kangaroo had launched towards her car.

Wow.

and tried to drown the man. She said, I realized what was happening and told my husband, who couldn't see the fight from his seat, to get out of the car and help. But the kangaroo appeared to have been spooked, perhaps by the approaching car driven by Mr. James' friend. This might be something they did do because there's footage of a guy whose dog

The kangaroo was attempting to drown his dog. Kangaroos have been known to appear to attempt to drown their foes. Yeah. Although these are usually animals that are the size of dogs. Yeah. So there's a very strong instinct. An expert said kangaroos will go to water if they're threatened by a predator. Isn't that wild? Yeah. So it's part of their instinct. It seems sort of evil. Yep. And that is what I have in mind.

the bizarre file for you. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, we shall see if you've been paying attention. Lesson questions up. We'll get trash. We'll get some music news as well. So stay put. We'll be back in a moment.

And if you can answer this question correctly, we will give you those tickets. So the question is, if we were to ever purchase an old Wawa and take it over, what would we call it? It wouldn't be Wawa. It would be something else. All right. If we were to purchase an old Wawa and take it over...

What would we call it? 610-660-9333. If you heard that, call now. And if you get through, we get you on the line, we go to you, you just might win. So let's see if you know the answer. We'll do the trash now. The trash business is a goldmine. 93.3 WMMR.

Route 309 in Hatfield or Decksupplies.com. What's going on this morning, Steve? Well, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who screw-up caused the shooting death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins while filming the movie Rust, was released from prison after 11 months.

Guterres Reid says, even though the man who actually pulled the trigger, Alec Baldwin, did no time, she got the better deal because she didn't have to shoot a reality show with Hilaria Baldwin. Oh, my God. 82-year-old David Geffen's estranged husband, 32-year-old Donovan Michaels, filing documents suggesting he's going to go after some of Geffen's fortune. Michael says, before you think he doesn't deserve the money, you should suck on a rotting banana for a few hours and see how you like it. Oh, my God.

And finally, Britney Spears is close to debuting her first ever jewelry line. Now that it has been cleared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Britney says her jewelry will be the first to be microchipped in case you go running off after the ice cream man and forget where you live. That's all you're saying.

All right, we shall see if somebody knows the answer to this. If we were to ever purchase an old Wawa and take it over, what would we call it? And our caller that we will go to is Matt. He is joining us now. Matt, morning, bud. Woo! Ah! All right, Matt, if we were to buy an old Wawa and take it over, what would we call it? Woo-woo. Woo-woo! Not Wawa, but woo-woo. All right. Woo!

Matt, hang on a second. We are going to give you that pair of tickets to see Ace freely at the event center at Rivers Casino. Friday, June 6th.

You can call now for a $49 AC tune-up, and they'll even waive the dispatch fee for all of your AC heating, plumbing, or sewer services. You can make it at adamhomeservices.com. All right, we'll begin with this story. Kings of Leon.

canceled a series of summer European tour dates after lead singer Caleb Followill broke his foot in a freak accident. He was playing with his children when it happened. In a video posted on Instagram this week, Followill told his fans that he shattered his heel and had to have emergency surgery in Nashville.

Doctors advised him not to stand or travel for eight weeks, forcing the band to cancel 10 shows starting in Paris and on June 10th ending in Portugal. Did they specify how he shattered his heel? I just said playing with his kid. Yeah. I gotta believe. He was kicking him? A shattered heel would hurt. Yes. Bad.

Yeah. I mean, that's, if you've ever, you know, just even stepped on something and it digs into your heel, that's painful. I slammed down onto my left leg, you know, and I felt it in my knee. I was good, but I'm like, yeah, I could see how that could happen. I showed you guys a couple of summers ago, I was trying to do this rope swing in Wildwood. Yes, yeah. And my upper body strength was not as strong as I thought it was, and I just came crashing down, and I went heel first into nothing but seashells. Hmm.

Father Will expressed disappointment, noting the band, which includes his brothers Nathan and Jared and cousin Matthew, was excited to perform new songs that they had been recording. But no, they're going to have to cancel that stuff for a little while. All right. Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer has accepted a no jail plea deal for vehicular manslaughter charge. He was sentenced to one year of informal probation and 60 days of community labor.

He must also complete a driver safety class and pay restitution to be determined at a later date. He was allegedly distracted driving when he struck and killed Israel Sanchez, who was walking to the grocery store. This is in California last year. Hearing for the case in civil court.

He is set for July 1st, so he's probably going to face some hefty restitution on that. Josh follows us on Instagram. I just pulled up his account. It's probably because we've talked about him a few times. He played with Eddie Vedder's

solo band and he's a touring member of the Pearl Jam's band when they hit the road so I wonder if this is going to impact his future tour plans yeah that's a good question alright one last story John Fogerty it was his birthday the other day it was his 80 or 81st birthday the other day is issuing a new album and in many ways has Taylor Swift to thank

The collection titled Legacy, the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, is Fogarty's re-recording of classic CCR songs. The Taylor Swift connection, Fogarty felt empathy for Taylor losing her music catalog to Scooter Braun only to re-record her songs to reclaim ownership. He said, I wanted to call it

Taylor's version. I lobbied very much to the record company. I understood her plight. I really felt for her at the time because the guy was selling it to somebody else. And that sort of thing has certainly happened to me. He said, it's very much...

like what Saul Zantz, who's a former record label exec, might do, he said. While the title of Taylor's version was turned down, Fogarty instead settled on John's version, a parenthesis that appears on all of the newly re-recorded songs.

The album comes out on August 22nd. So he certainly waited a long time to do that. A long time. And I wonder, he re-recorded them with his current, I mean, his voice is pretty good. Yeah, but it's not going to sound nearly as youthful as the original recording. So we'll see how they sound. But I mean, he's still, yeah, he can still play and sing. But we'll see how those recordings are. All right, there you go. That's what I got in music news for you today.

I'm going to give away my last $25 gift card to Rita's. And we'll take caller number 16 at 610-660-9333. You get a $25 gift card and you can try the fin-tastic new Rita's flavor, which is Cool Aid Sharkleberry Fin Ice. And this fruity, refreshing flavor is great to enjoy blended.
