Oh, yeah.

Good morning, friend, and we welcome you. We are actually broadcasting live as we speak. The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks is where our voices are originating from today for the 20th annual I Believe for Preston and Steve Blood Drive. We'll get to all the details of what's going on here and what you can expect if you're coming by, but let's dive into the weather forecast and see how we're shaping up for the weekend. Today, not a bad day. We're mainly going to have clouds. Temperatures stay warm, high of about 85 degrees.

The rest of the weekend sucks. So tomorrow, I'm looking at the forecast. We're looking at steady rain. High of only 68 degrees. Sunday is worse. Showers in a high 66. And then it's going to bleed into Monday as well. And we're not going to break out of the 60s until we get into Tuesday. Mid-70s at

best with clouds. So just not a good looking weekend. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. All right, let's take a look at traffic, see what's shaping up there. Maybe it's good stuff. Marissa, what's going on so far this morning? Not too bad out there. 95 southbound between the Betsy Ross Bridge and Allegheny Avenue. We have that road construction. It's jammed back to Cotman Avenue. And then there's an accident on 422 right here in Oaks.

It is Collegeville and Warriorsford. The shoulder is blocked. We hope everyone is okay there. This traffic report is brought to you by Extreme Experience.

And that's your traffic on 93.3 WMMR. And now, Kristen and Steve's news update.

Today is Friday, June 13th. Good morning. Israel has launched unprecedented strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders in an attack that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said will last several days. Israel's military says it used 200 fighter jets in the attack, and in retaliation, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israeli territory.

General Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, was killed in the attack. And the attack also killed Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Iran's highest-ranking military officer. It's the most significant attack that Iran has faced since

since its 1980s war with Iraq. And tensions over Iran's nuclear program boiled over, and Iran quickly retaliated, sending a swarm of drones at Israel at their supreme leader, as their supreme leader warned of severe punishment. Countries in the region condemned Israel's attack, while leaders around the globe called for immediate action.

de-escalation from both sides. The attack hit several sites, including Iran's main nuclear enrichment facility, where black smoke could be seen rising into the air. Israel said that it had also destroyed dozens of radar installations and surface-to-air missile launchers in western Iran.

Also, an Air India passenger plane bound for London with more than 240 people on board crashed into a medical college after takeoff in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad. The aircraft came down in a residential area, crashing into a medical college hostel outside the airport during lunchtime.

And it's the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade. Wow. Only one person miraculously survived the crash. Black smoke billowed from the site where the plane crashed and burst into flames near the airport in the Indian city of more than 5 million people. Firefighters doused the smoking wreckage of the plane, which was fully loaded with fuel shortly after takeoff, and the adjacent buildings with water. Professor, forgive me, there was a story, and I don't know if it's...

Part of this story, the one person who survived, did they jump from... I've got that in the story. Charred bodies lay on the ground and parts of the fuselage were scattered around the site. Indian Army teams were assisting civil authorities to clear debris and help treat the injured. A video on social media showed the jet slowly descending as if it were landing, but as soon as it disappeared out of view behind rows of houses...

A giant fireball then filled the sky. At the crash site, the tail cone of the aircraft with damaged stabilizer fins still attached to it was lodged near the top of one of the buildings. And this is the first crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, according to the Aviation Safety Network database. Now, the gentleman who survived, Ramesh Viswaskaran,

Kumar, who is the only person who made it out of the 242 people on board the plane, had been sitting right near an emergency exit of the London-bound flight, and he managed to jump out. Speaking from his hospital bed, the 40-year-old told Indian media that he was a British national and was traveling to Britain with his brother after visiting family in India. And from the hospital, he told reporters, When I got up...

There were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed a hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital. It just happened to be in the right place, in the one and only place that was semi-protected, and he managed to get out. So, terrible disaster. On a lighter note, a dangerously invasive fish...

Yes. Yes.

90s, early 2000s. I absolutely remember that. But they say what's happened since is that they have evolved and they have mastered the art of creating fake IDs. Oh, and that's okay. So not only that, they're getting into our area's drinking establishment. Oh, my God. My goodness. Natives of various parts of Asia and Africa, snakeheads are distinctive among non-native invasive species in that they can move across both water and land and

A spokesperson for Chester County Parks and Preservation said this means they can travel between bodies of water, rapidly expanding their range. They aggressively compete with native fish species for food and habitat. They said they're easily recognized because facially they look like Mickey Rourke. Snakeheads are long, torpedo-shaped fish that grow to very large sizes up to 33 inches long and around 20 pounds and look a lot like Mickey Rourke.

Mickey Rourke. Mickey Rourke in Sin City, I have to specify. So they feed on a variety of other freshwater fish, amphibians, some crustaceans, and even small mammals that it might encounter in the water during their forays on land. And in rare cases, they've been known to eat small birds. Yes. So is this of the invasive species that have come into the area? We've had some plant life. We've had insects. Insects, yeah. Is this the most...

aggressive or does it have the widest buffet of things it feeds on? I don't know, man. When those lanternflies came in, they were pretty damn aggressive. Yeah, yeah. It's just wild. Are they asking us if we come across these things that just killed them on the spot? Immediately kill the fish on site to limit its population and spread. And kill any witnesses. No, no, because when I was in the Grand Canyon in the Colorado River, there was an invasive fish species in my

My cousin caught it. He was fishing in the river, and he immediately had to kill that thing. I was like, oh, man. That is exactly what they are telling you to do. That's wild. Because of their overall strength and the size of their teeth, they can eat prey up to about a third of their own body size. So kill it.

if you see it. Kill it! All right. They caught Preston and it's right up the road from here. It's at Bull Rock Sanctuary. It's right across the river in Phoenixville. So it's right around the corner from where we are here in Oaks. Well, let's go on a little hunt. Let's go fishing. I got my fishing pen. All right. In sports this morning. All sacks are going. All sacks are going. All sacks are going.

All right, Nick, give it to us. The Phillies were off last night. They opened up a weekend series at home against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight. Ranger Suarez will get to start the first pitch. It's scheduled for 645. In game four of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Edmonton Oilers evened the series at two games apiece after a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers last night in South Florida. It was the third game out of the first four in this series that has gone to overtime. The Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead.

After the first period, but the Oilers scored three in the second to tie it up after two. The Oilers made it 4-3 in the third before the Panthers tied it again with under 20 seconds left in regulation and their goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky, pulled for an extra attacker. In the extra session, Leon Dreisaitl scored an NHL record playoff

Fourth overtime goal and his second of the finals. Game five is tomorrow night back in Edmonton, and the puck will drop at 8 o'clock. Game four of the NBA finals is tonight in Indianapolis. The Pacers lead the Oklahoma City Thunder two games to one in the series, and tip-off will be at 8.30. The Union, who are in first place in the Eastern Conference with 10 wins and 34 points, take on Charlotte FC tomorrow night. The match at Subaru Park is set to begin at 7.30. And your Eagles are still your Super Bowl champs.

And that's what I have for you. All right. Thank you, Nick McElwain. Appreciate it. We welcome you to Friday. We welcome you to the I Bleed for Preston State Blood Drive. This is our 20th anniversary of this event. Yeah, 20 years this thing has been going strong. There's a beautiful balloon display in the back of the area here with 20 years, Preston. Yep. And tomorrow is, Marissa sent me this email, tomorrow is actually Blood Donor Day or it's officially, how is it? It's, hang on. Wait.

Wait, where is it, Marissa? World Blood Donation Day. Oh. So that's pretty awesome. We're very timely then. Right around this big event. So we're excited to bring this to you. Steve and I went to Live Casino and Hotel Philadelphia and donated our blood there. It was a great showing. Everybody was in a good mood.

We're going to have to reveal a revelation later on about something. We happened to have a perpendicular cot as we were giving blood. And I turned to the president and go, dude, I know. And I told the people at the Red Cross, I'm like, why is no one talking about this? We'll have to reveal that. We'll get to that maybe in the 7 o'clock hour because it's...

It's big in the world of donating blood, so we'll cover that a little bit later on. We also have some guests that are going to be stopping by today. We are going to have Miss USA. Yes. Alma Cooper is her name, and she's going to be stopping by at about 715, 720. She is so accomplished that I think I'm going to weep out of embarrassment when she arrives. Very good. So she'll be stopping in. We are also going to have Fit.

dad CEO. Yeah, great. I'm going to be bringing some dad jokes with him to maybe go against Casey in a dad joke-off. I did some cramming last night. All right, all right. And we also have No Sad Bro Friday to share together. We'll give away our Word of the Week prize today, and we have to set a new world record for

for the munchkin toss and catch. So we'll get ourselves warmed up and set for that. My arm is not good enough to go the distance that we went last time. Well, I just played football the other day. We're going with the cannon. Yeah, so my arm is in tip-top shape right now. Beautiful. So we'll attempt to make that happen. I got a crawler sitting in front of me right now. Thank you to Duncan. We're going to call you Jalen Squirts. For bringing us some goodies this morning as we get set for the show. So we're also going to go live online.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. Casey just gave me something to sit on. You were sitting a little low. This chair that I have makes me feel like I'm a little kid at the table. So anyway, I got propped up, which is nice. Like I said, we're going to go on 6ABC in a moment. And when we do this live, we've only done this one time. This is at the Super Bowl parade. Yes. And so I'm not sure how this is all going to work. Marissa's going to cue me. I guess I'll hear them.

So we'll do our best to make this whole thing happen. We are doing... We're ready now? Are we on the air? Okay. I can't hear them at all. Oh, yes. There we go. Let's see where we go. All right. Time now is 6.37. Let's take a live look outside from Sky 6 right now. Let's see.

Actually, we're going to switch things up a little bit. Let's go out to Preston and Steve, our friends at WMMR. It is always great to talk with them, especially on a Friday morning. We are taking a look outside, but Preston and Steve, I hear you guys are at the Blood Drive. How's things going out there? Yeah, Aliana, thank you very much. And Alicia, good morning to you guys. Hi, friends.

Hey, nice to see you. So, yeah, we're at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, and this is our 20th annual I Bleed for Preston and Steve Blood Drive. We've been doing this thing for 20 years, and it's one of our favorite events because we get up close and personal with everybody popping in. Steve, you love this. Oh, I do love this event. And after 20 years, we're actually officially out of blood ourselves, so we've given so much. Yes. No, no, no, but we have people.

Okay, as you can see there, we were in the middle of a conversation talking with Preston and Steve from WMMR, and it looked like their shot was kind of going in and out. So we're going to try to get them back. But let's send things over to Karen for a second. We've been talking about this.

Sky Six Karen. It's a Friday. Where'd you go? He's over here. We need to bring our audio down now. All right. Thank you very much. Yeah, I couldn't hear them. You couldn't hear them? I could. And in fact, Preston, if you noticed, I was in black and white. Oh, my God. How did they do that? All right. I'll ask the stupid question, and then we'll see if they come back to us or not. I have no idea how that's going to work. But the stupid question, by the way...

And we're going to give away a prize. It's what we do. And that prize happens to be a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Gary Clark Jr. on July 3rd. That show is at Parks Casino in the Excite Center. So here's my question for you. In which city will you find the headquarters of MMR?

610-660-9333. Let's see if you know the answer to that. In which city will you find the headquarters of Interpol? 610-660-9333. We'll work on getting an answer to that in a little bit.

I'll mention some birthdays today while we await your answer. Today is the 13th day. Oh, it's Friday the 13th. I didn't even realize that until this very moment. It's Jason Voorhees' day. Of June, and it's Tim Allen's birthday today. He turns 72 years old. He has another series with Kat Denning. Yes. And he owns an auto repair place. And I've forgotten the name of it because he had home improvement, obviously, last man standing. It's cool.

Steve, they both... They share a birthday today. Do they? It's Kat Denning's birthday as well. How about that? Casey, I didn't even notice that. He pointed that out to me. Yeah. So he is 72. She's 39 years old. How about that crap? They actually have a good chemistry. I love Kat Denning. And you know who else is on it? From American Pie. And also...

Guy or girl? Guy. The guy with the dark gun. Is it Shifting Gears, Steve? Stifler. Oh, Sean William Scott. You would not recognize him. Really? I can hear you now. Shifting Gears is the name of the show. Shifting Gears, thank you. So those two celebrated a birthday today. It's also...

Captain America's birthday. Chris Evans turns a year older. Got a movie out today. Yeah, he does. The Materialists? Yes. Yes. That's it. We were just talking about that the other day. So he turns 44 years old. So happy birthday to him. I went to see a movie yesterday. I'll tell you about it in a little bit. But I didn't see a trailer for that, which I thought they would have played. It's a rom-com. But let me tell you this. I said the trailers...

25 minutes long. While I was waiting for the movie, I was like, I've got to get there on time. I've got to get there on time. I showed up, and the trailer just started, and it went on for almost a half hour. You know, AMC has added another commercial. So they'll do commercials as well as trailers. They've added another commercial.

So, you know, in the time that you're going to go and go, I've got a buffer because they run all that crap. That'll be the time they start the movie on time. I also think it's kind of dumb to do a commercial for the place that you're already at. Yeah, I know. I know. Hey, man, maybe I should get to an AMC theater soon. Oh, I am in an AMC theater. Yeah. All right. Well, Chris Evans is 44 today. Aaron Taylor Johnson, the next Bond, turning 35 today. Well, yeah, they haven't made it official. He might not be because of the shift to Amazon.

Really? Yeah, it's possible. I think it would be a perfect bond. Yeah. So he was in Kick-Ass and also he was Quicksilver. He was great. In the MCU. He turns 35 today. He had one friggin' movie. Steve, the great Malcolm McDowell celebrates a birthday. He's 82 years old. One of my favorites, man. Clockwork Orange.

Time after time where he played H.G. Wells going through time to hunt down Jack the Ripper. And he's a fun interviewer. Have you seen interviews with him? He's played some intense characters. He's got a good sense of humor. You know, he was the evil guy in Blue Thunder, was he not? Yeah, he was. Yeah, he plays a good evil guy. Preston, how old is he? He's 82. He has 11 acting roles, contests.

coming up. No kidding. Holy crap. Yeah, so that dude continues to work and continues to work a lot. I love it. His next movie is the guy who had too many movies. We also have the twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen celebrating a birthday today. They turn 39 years old. My favorite thing is their pizza parties, Preston. Pizza parties. No, they were billionaires...

Just out of their teens. Yeah. Yeah. So they're doing okay. So they turn...

39 years old today. Which one was with the creepy old French guy? I don't know. I don't know the difference between the two. Mary-Kate or Ashley. I'm going Mary-Kate. All right. There you go. Done and done. It's also Ally Sheedy's birthday today. Love her. She turns 63 years old. War Games was just on. I watched it for the first time in 15 years, 20 years. Still fun to watch? It is fun. She had...

I think a book, Nick, maybe look this up, a book of poetry that came out in maybe the early 90s. Maybe we were on like 91, 92. Oh, the title was There Was an Old Hermit Named Dave. No, the only reason I remember this is like my, for some reason, my English teacher thought, well, we're going to learn this. She went like completely and totally like off curriculum to read Ali Sheedy poetry. I'm like, okay. Yeah, this is pretty Sheedy. Okay.

I love her. She's great. 63 today. Stellan Skarsgård birthday today. Yeah, another. He's the father of Alexander Skarsgård as well. Of course, yeah, we know him from the MCU. Is anybody watching Murderbot with Alexander Skarsgård? That is in my queue. I've been wanting to see it. I'm enjoying it. Is it good? Very much so, yeah. So he basically is, he's an android. At a certain point, he takes off.

He's an android. No. So he's an android who internally is able to untether himself from, you know... And so he basically becomes a sentient being. Okay. But he wants to kind of keep that a secret because the second they figure out that he is a sentient being, they will just melt him. And does he have disdain for humans? Is that the idea? Not quite. Okay. The dude killed it in Andor. He was so damn good in that series. And Casey, the name of that Ally Sheedy book?

Yesterday I saw the sun. Poems by Ali Sheed. Okay, there we go. It is also Rivers Cuomo's birthday today. Yeah. He turns 55 years old. Rivers, a Harvard graduate, by the way. You remember he kind of...

He kind of put things on hold for a moment and went back and were we playing MCU? Yeah. Yeah. Because he played the Hulk, Preston. Oh, I was not aware. Whereas Cuomo was the original in the learned Hulk, the first one. Certainly talented singer, songwriter, band member. And he turns 55 today.

And then last birthday, somebody we just spoke to and is going to be in our studio next week, Steve-O from Jackass fame. He turns 51 years old. By the way, his name, his full name is Stephen Gilchrist Glover.

which I did not know that. And we'll have to ask him where he got the O from, if that was just a nickname that he picked up and stuck with. But he just celebrated 17 years of sobriety in March. If you were to pick a member of that group years ago who is going to be most likely to check out, it would have been him. Yeah.

And then he turned it around. He did the craziest stuff. He did the absolute craziest. He would do the most risky things, I think, out of the crew. For me, the one that just like, how that, the wasabi in the eyes. Oh, dude. He snorted it. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Yeah. But you know what? Listen, I think Ryan Dunn's birthday was yesterday and he had posted something about that. But, you know, you take a look at like the tragedy that was that and that could have been him any day. Right. You know, every day. 17 plus years ago. Yeah, true. All right. We're going to attempt to take a phone call and see if we can get a winner for our stupid question this morning.

Let's see. We are, hang on a second, I've got to get my ducks in a row. We're going to try and answer this question. In which city can you find the headquarters of Interpol? So we are going to go to Mark and see if we can get him on the phone. Mark, can you hear me, my man? Hey, you guys rock. Love you, Mark. Appreciate it. All right, so where would you find the headquarters of Interpol, please?

Leon Fruits? That is correct, Leon. We're going to set you up with a pair of tickets to Zim M.R. Rocks, Gary Clark Jr., July 3rd. Parks Casino Excite Center. Tickets for all upcoming events are available at parkscasino.com, and you must be 21 or older to get those tickets. All right, I do have some entertainment stories, if you guys want to hear a few of those. We're going to start with Harvey Weinstein after he was convicted...

on one felony sex crime charge and acquitted on another. The jury deadlocked on a third charge, leaving the judge to actually declare a mistrial on the final charge. The jury foreman refused to continue deliberations, citing verbal threats and apparently feeling pressured to change his vote.

And you normally don't hear of that happening. No. So who is applying the pressure? Oh, I don't know. You know, all those people, they remain anonymous. Right, right, right. Who knows? But Judge Curtis Farber noted, sometimes jury deliberations become heated, but other jurors denied the process was contentious and were extremely disappointed by the mistrial. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

pledged to retry Weinstein, stating it's about the survivors. Weinstein's lawyer argued the remaining charge should be dismissed and criticized the trial as a waste of time. Tensions among jurors reportedly surfaced early with misconduct concerns and allegations that some discussed Weinstein's past outside the trial evidence. That would be a waste of time.

So, yeah, so there are very strict rules about what you can and cannot talk about in the jury room. So I learned further about what the, obviously, we said is, do they outlandishly believe that they can get him out and get him cleared of all this? Is that something that they're working for? And yes, that's what they're attempting to do. They believe they have enough legal footing to get him sprung. Yep. So we'll see where this goes.

Bachelorette star Michelle Young has tied the knot, Steve. I know you're all over this. I love the Bachelorette. She married Jack Leis last weekend in an intimate ceremony in their native Minneapolis. And you know what she asked for as a wedding gift? A personality. Young and Leis have been together since fall 2023, meeting through a mutual friend. I love you. Young was the runner-up on Matt James' season of The Bachelor in 2021. He was another dud.

Then, during the season 18 finale of The Bachelorette, she accepted a proposal from Nate Olokoya. Me love you. Though the two split six months later. So she's finally found love. Love. It's funny when they consider somebody the runner-up when really they won. Yeah, they won. They got

They dodged the bullet. And they lasted long enough so that their name becomes a bit recognizable on the show. And they get their own series. Yeah, yeah. They get their own one. They can come back at a later date and people can see who they are, sort of. Wow. That's a good point, Case. I never thought about it. Second place on The Bachelor or Bachelorette is actually winning. Yeah. You get out of marriage. You get more, yeah. You get the PR and you probably end up as the lead

in the next opposite sex version of that. The other way you end up with a shot at TMZ with you coming out of some place in a fist fight with the person you're supposed to be marrying. Oh my God. All right, let's see. Speaking of getting married, it seems many in the city of Canals are less enthralled that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are holding their nuptials there. Posters are popping up all over Venice, Italy, slamming the upcoming ceremony. They're not kidding. I saw a picture of a street that had a whole bunch of...

of posters with Bezos' picture. Uh, though...

Jeffrey Bezos. The organizers of the protest say that it's nothing personal against the billionaire. Alice Bozzoli, part of the anti-Bezos campaign. It's not personal. It's not personal. It's not personal. It's just called the anti-Bezos program. We hate you stinking guts, but it's not personal. So she insists that the intended three-day takeover of the town is a blow to locals already struggling with Venice's daily tourist chaos.

It's doubtful the movement will cause Bezos and Sanchez to rethink their plans. I would personally like the little bald prick to know it's not personal. The locals are certainly letting their voices be heard on the matter. I saw a story last week. I didn't get a chance to get to it, but Jeff Bezos had closed down, I think it might have been Fifth Avenue in New York City because...

He owns, you know, this block of apartments. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Like four complete floors of this apartment complex or home, you know, building. Anyway, so they had to... They were raising furniture up to it, and they had to put a crane in the middle of Fifth Avenue...

And they shut down the whole thing for hours. You're shutting down Fifth Avenue. Yeah, exactly. So you have to pay for that. Or do you even have to pay for it? Well, you do. You do. Yeah, so the crane rental alone is like $20,000 an hour or something ridiculous. I got to put in my new auto.

Exactly. So, all right. So it's been almost a decade. So you'd be forgiven if you forgot that Trace Cyrus, Billy Ray's son, and Brenda Song, who is Macaulay Culkin's wife, and you remember her from Nickelodeon. Right, right. Or is it Disney? No, that was Nick. So she had a tumultuous relationship with him for years. I didn't know that. No, I didn't either. Trace jumped on his Instagram stories this week to detail allegations that Song had concocted numerous fake information.

and dramatic episodes during their off-and-on relationship, including multiple faked pregnancies, breast cancer, and a brain tumor. Now, this is what this guy says. This is what he's saying. He says at one point she claimed to have been decapitated. Cyrus concluded his mini-tell-all by saying, "...this goes to show how much childhood fame can hurt kids."

And he hopes that Brenda's doing better mentally. She never projected that. No, this dude's unhinged. Yeah, yeah. You brought him up yesterday, Preston. I did a little dive on his Instagram, and it's some disturbing, messed up stuff. Okay. He's, yeah, don't waste your time with this guy. That whole Cyrus family. The family. Yeah. Because, don't they have, isn't there another sister, or maybe I'm mistaking him? There is. Okay. Yeah. Who has gone, like, public with her, uh...

disdain for her father everyone everyone hates everyone i was reading uh a an interview that miley did the other day and she was talking about uh how kind of embarrassed she is now of her uh wrecking ball phase yes yeah yeah that whole thing when she was just really pushing the sexual envelope right yeah big time and so she um she said she lost a relationship with with

all kinds of people because of that whole thing. Well, so that, and so that's got to be other, that's got to be the people in her corner. They're like, okay, so you were a tween, then you were a teen, now you're an adult. And the only way, and they did it with Britney. You're an adult. Well, they did it with Britney Spears. It's like, you got to whore it up because you're 18 now, you know? I mean, maybe. I don't get that. But part of it's...

It's her, too. Yeah. Well, they have to agree to it. Preston, when we were first starting, we had the sexy outfits on. We had the everything. We had our Daisy Dukes. It's how you play the game in radio. Yeah. You get older. And you get past that, and eventually, and hopefully you look back and you can rationalize it. Hey, we were doing what needed to be done at the time. That's right. All right. Earlier this week, YouTuber Miss Rachel responded to Olivia Munn's comments about

about not letting her kids watch her videos. And now John Mulaney is speaking out about it because Munn and their kids are getting death threats over it. By that, Ms. Rachel, that's a lot of pull, doesn't she? He said, an innocent comment my wife, Olivia Munn, made about what children's programs we like has somehow, unbelievably, been conflated with not caring about the deaths of children in Gaza. Okay.

He said, because of this, my wife and my two kids are now receiving violent and threatening comments and messages in her DMs. This is absolutely insane and needs to stop. The people doing this are so wildly out of line and so unhelpful to any conversation. You took a nothing comment to a dark and dangerous place.

This kind of behavior isn't activism. And by the way, it was a very flippant, tongue-in-cheek comment about... Like you could say, oh, I can't stand Frozen. I can't stand Baby Shark. That's what she was saying. Yeah, it's like if you have... Your kids' shows are on and you as an adult are just like, oh my God, I can't watch it. And that was that. Caillou, I couldn't. Caillou, stuff like that. So it was like that. And so now...

As people do. So she has enforcers. They go crazy. And it's just, I hate, hate, hate social media. I hate it. I can't stand it. It's where people, it's just. Oh, the scum of the earth, man. The scum of the earth just love to enter the comment section. Just on a graduation post that I made for my youngest. I was loving the praise. And then I see a few things. I'm like, phew.

Really? Yeah. Well, you know, really said it snuggles the fabric softener bear to put a picture up in three comments down will be something. Here's the problem I have, Steve, is they you can just throw the grenade into the comments section without even caring whether or not what it does to the person that reads it. And you could say, well, then don't read the comments section. But if you're going to post something, I don't know about your child's graduation. You go back to that sort of stuff. And it's like.

I'm going to get off my sofa. You know how you avoid it. You avoid it by avoiding it. I'm not going to avoid the comment. If I post something for my child's graduation, I'm not going to avoid the comment section. I shouldn't have to avoid the comment section. Because 99% of it is positive. But the negative stuff sticks in your craw and it's obnoxious. And there's so much

that can come out of it that is good. So I think you go to the comment section or the DMs or whatever because you're seeking connection and that's what social media can bring. But when that negative crap surfaces, you're like, are you serious? It's like you and I both said before, Steve, that person has to live with their own life. They've already been, their sentence has already been handed down. Yeah. And they don't understand why people don't like them. Exactly. They'll never comprehend it. That's true, but it doesn't make what they say any less hurtful. No, I agree. I agree 100%. All right, but anyhow...

Miss Rachel is a bitch. They're getting death threats. Yeah, total bitch. You're next, Steve. You're going to get it. Alright, so this was great to see. Big news for fans of Spaceball. A new teaser. Spaceballs. A new teaser is out for Spaceballs 2 and it

is so much fun. So, Mel Brooks is in it and you've got to see it if you haven't had a chance. It's the crawling, it's the scrolling text like Star Wars and that part is funny and then Brooks comes on and says some great stuff and he looks so great. He's in his mid to late 80s. That's,

Pretty friggin' amazing. Yeah, it not only looks great, but sounds great as well. Yep, yeah, yeah. I'm watching the thing scroll, and guys, I am a slow-ass reader. Yeah, couldn't keep up with it? I had to pause it. Like...

And then I was reading. I probably have a touch of dyslexia, definitely some ADD, ADHD, and I'm a slow reader. So I actually had to pause that a couple of different times. So I'll tell you this. Spaceballs, to me, was always a fun movie. Like it was never...

It was okay, and it seemed late to the Star Wars parody. At the point it came out, it was years after it. In time, though, I've come to really appreciate it. Oh, man, and my kids fell in love with it. So I re-embraced that, and I love that movie now. One of my most cringiest moments on the show is when I proclaim that Spaceballs is the greatest movie of all time.

Because I was being very hyperbolic, but I didn't know what hyperbolic was. I was a little kid, and I just... What I was attempting to say... You thought it meant low blood sugar. What I was attempting to say is I love Spaceballs. It's a fun movie. And instead, I was like, it's the greatest movie of all time. And you're like...

Really? Like, better than God the Godfather or Citizen Kane? I'm like, oh, man. By the way, Mel Brooks is 99 in a couple of weeks. Oh, my goodness. His birthday is June 28th and he turns 99. He is going to be reprising the role as Yogurt. But that's not all. Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman are both coming back. It has been officially green-lighted for them. They play Dark Helmet and Lone Star. What are they going to do with Barf? Uh,

You know, that's a good question. I'll have to find out something. I don't know how much decomposition has taken place. No, what they could do, if they wanted to, and you'll maybe poll what the fans think, but they could CGI recreate him. I mean, if they...

You know, or do you even go there? No, I don't think you go there. I think you have a puppy that was born at some point. Kiki Palmer and Lewis Pullman are also said to be joining the cast. Plot details for the sequel are still under wraps. But it's been described by people who have not read the script just yet as non-prequel, non-reboot sequel part two, but with reboot elements franchise expansion film.

Did you watch the History of the World series? I did not. Yeah. I did. I thought it was pretty good. I really liked it. Yeah. It was uneven, but the parts were pretty good. So it's going to be hitting theaters in 2027. That is the plan anyhow. All right. And then let's see one more quick thing. Something

Sometimes a meme takes on a life of its own and breaks out from the Internet into the real world. As Marvel has hired more and more actors to play their ever-expanding cast of superheroes, sources have spoken to TMC. After the Internet started to seriously consider the possibility, could Ryan Gosling be the next Black Panther?

TMZ says an insider has completely shut down that idea and that he had never even been considered for the role. To be honest, when the movie was initially being made and they said we're doing a Black Panther movie, immediately I thought Ryan Gosling. Come on. Yeah. Yeah, for real. That's absolutely what I'd go with. I think they did have a misstep by killing Black Panther. And I think us as fans, we know what Chadwick Boseman did for that character.

But they should have just had somebody else play Black Panther. I'm sorry. The second movie was not that good. And there was too much going on. And it just didn't hit. And we didn't get enough of that character. Alright, we got some movies opening this weekend. I'd like to tell you about them. ... ...

All right, so we've got How to Train Your Dragon, family action comedy. It stars Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, and on the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoic the Vast, Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Two hours and five minutes long, rated PG, wide theater release. Rotten Tomatoes score gives it a 77%.

The Materialists will also open this weekend, and it is a romance and comedy. It stars Dakota Fanning, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her perfect ex.

Hour and 56 minutes long. Rated R. Wide theater release. Rotten Tomatoes score gives it an 88%. That's pretty good. Yeah. Listen, the How to Train Your Dragon movie, however you feel about these quote-unquote live action remakes of these animated movies, they're saying it got the essence of what... And I love How to Train Your Dragon. They really recaptured it. You said Dakota Fanning. Is it Dakota Fanning or Johnson that's in that material? Dakota Johnson. You're right. I thought it was Dakota.

By the way, I have a very quick review because I went to see The Life of Chuck yesterday, which actually opens wide this week. And it was like a limited release last week, but I went and saw it. So it's a Stephen King adaptation from a book that I love. I've read the short story three times, and I just couldn't wait for this movie to come out.

Uh, so I went to see it yesterday and Casey was asking me what I thought about it. I'm like, I'll tell you on air. Right. I liked it a lot. I thought they nailed it as far as the story goes. Like they almost didn't leave anything out. And, and it was, it's a difficult story to tell because there's some, um, there's some fantastical, uh,

elements to it that are kind of hard to interpret, I think. A la The Green Mile? No, different than that. And I'm not going to give it away because you have to see it for yourself. How does it end? I'm not going to tell you that. But I think that, and while I enjoyed it, I'm not sure how people who haven't read the story will enjoy it because it's a tad bit confusing. But for those who are King fans and have read it, it is very faithful to the story, which I was real delighted about. But I don't think it's going to be a big...

mass appeal hit, unfortunately. But I thought it was great. Well, so you liked it. Oh, yeah. You love it. Yeah, I liked it. I'm on the edge of loving it. Like, I kept thinking about it last night and how much I love that story. But I think it's one of those that translates better in literature than it does on film. You know what I mean? Yeah, I absolutely know what you mean. Like, they...

They were very faithful to it, and it was appreciative, but I just think it's a story that's hard to tell on film, and it's better read. The problem is it's also at a time where so many theaters are being taken up with How to Train Your Dragon, with Lilo and Stitch, with some big, big movies, Mission Impossible. So to get on screens is going to be an uphill battle. Press, they keep, for some reason, drawing parallels between this and Stand By Me, and that's my favorite movie of all time, so do you think I'm going to love it?

No. Okay. No, I was thinking about that because it's not like... It's actually kind of insulting that you brought that up. No, it's not like that, but it has a heart to it that's wonderful, and you will like that part of it. Would you say it's less stand by me and more stand over there? You know who's great is... And I'm drawing a blank. Tom Hiddleston. No, no, no. Hold on. Luke Skywalker. Mark Hamill. Mark Hamill.

Like, I didn't even recognize him. Oh, really? Oh, my God. He's a big, overweight, older, slobby kind of guy. But he nails it. The cast is fantastic. So if you're a King fan, definitely worth seeing. All right, we have clips to play. Let's get to those. On this season, just like that, Carrie is finding herself by writing a book about women in 1846...

And here, Sarah Jessica Parker talks about the first fitting happening in a hotel ballroom filled with clothes. Here we go. I would say more than half of that were vintage pieces from consignment shops, people's trunks, people's attics, people's basements, little honeypot spots that only they knew about. And again,

a preponderance of it was Victorian in turn of the century. So over the course of the season you'll see more and more pronounced silhouettes from the period that she's writing about. New episodes of In Just Like That are streaming on Max. Here's our next clip for you.

Echo Valley is the new film written and produced by our friend Brad Inglesby. Set in southern Pennsylvania and starring Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney. And here are the two actors talk about working together for the first time. Here we go, Jason. Sydney is a wonderful actress and she's so emotionally available. And right away I could feel it. And it just makes you feel good. You know when someone can kind of bring it and they're excited.

they're ready to do it. Yeah, I mean, we just, we had so much fun together too. I think that also helps when you want to have fun and you can laugh together even though things are really heavy.

Echo Valley is streaming now, and you will find that on Apple Plus. And there you go. That is your entertainment report. Well done. Thank you. You have your finger on the pulse. We are here. Speaking of that, they will take your pulse if you come by for a blood donation. King of segues right there. Do what I do. So good. We got to talk about that later on. We're going to get to that in a little bit. Yeah, we got something cool coming up to tell you about that's new in the world of technology at Blood Drives.

But, yeah, we're here at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks for our 20th annual, I believe, for Presidency Blood Drive. We've got people in our waiting area. If you do come by and you're getting set up and registered and everything, there's a seating area that you can hang out in front, right in front of where we're doing the show, and then they'll move you on to the various stages of...

When you get checked in and then go and make your donation, and then you get your awesome T-shirt from us and our tote bag from Window Nation. So they go behind a curtain and press it. I don't know if you've noticed this, but outside the building there's a conveyor belt with what looks like ground-up meat coming out. I don't know what's happening.

Soylent green. Yeah, I don't know, but we would love for you to be a part of this donation. You can see if there are any, uh, avails if you want to swing by and maybe get squeezed in, but not a hundred percent sure if there are availabilities or not, but we could find a way probably if you have a little extra time. So greater Philadelphia experts, expo center at Oaks, uh,

Did I spy Miss USA here this morning? She is. We are going to get her on the air with us when we come back. We have a few other guests that are joining throughout the program. We'll do the connoisseur segment and all those good things. So let's take a break. We'll return in just a moment with the Blood Drive and the Preston and Steve show. Stay with us. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

YouTube? Yep, we're there too. Watch the Preston and Steve Show live every morning. Or go back and see what you missed. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast.

All right, thanks, Marissa. Later on, we'll be doing the connoisseur segments. We've got some giveaways there. We also have Hershey Park tickets, the four packs. We're going to be broadcasting live from there coming up in the 26th. Listen for your chance to win those. But in the meantime, we have a guest who is here, and we are happy to welcome her to our blood drive. And she is helping to celebrate the United States Army's 250th birthday this weekend. And we would like to welcome First Lieutenant and Miss USA, Alma Cooper is here. Yay!

Good morning, Lieutenant. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you? We're doing good. This is one of our favorite events to have, so we're happy that you can make it by today. Of course. And joining you, sitting next to you, we have Major Bill Leisure, who is here as well from the United States Army. Good to see you. We're going to have to move that mic a lot closer to you, sir. Thank you very much. All right, so...

Alma, so you're originally from Michigan? Yes. And so you had to be Miss Michigan first. This is correct. And then move on to Miss USA. But before all of that, tell us about your history and your career in the United States Army. Yeah, well, for me, it all started with a letter that came in the mail. And at the top of it, it said West Point. I was a junior in high school. And...

I always tell this story to students because I'm like, show of hands, how many of you know what West Point is? And I did not know. And so I was talking to my mom. I was talking to my dad. My dad served for 24 years. And we watched a couple YouTube videos. And I was like, all right, I'm going to give this place a shot. So I did a summer camp there. And from the first day I spent on campus, I knew I wanted to go to West Point. That's amazing. I'm from New York. But I mean...

Countrywide to not know. It's amazing. And it's sort of sad in a way. But with people like yourself reinvigorating and reapprising people of the legend of this. And there just seems to be. I see you guys in your uniforms and there's a sense of pride. And I know recruitment numbers are up. And I know people are now re...

familiarizing themselves with the military as a career option. Yes. And it seems to be a good time. Are you sensing that as well? Yes, I am. And I always tell students that the Army is not an alternative. It's an opportunity. And I always say that because I...

at 21 years old, graduated from the United States Military Academy and earned a scholarship to go to Stanford University on a full ride. And that opportunity is one in a million. The other thing about West Point that people forget is that it's quite literally just one of the best schools, not in the country, but in the world. And it's an amazing academic institution on top of being one of the world-class military institutions. And so when you graduate from there, are you immediately held to a higher standard?

Yes, in the sense that you earn your commission and all my classmates, we take our oath. And from that moment on, you're called to serve and just to serve in any way that you can. I'm assuming you're the first student

officer to hold the title of Miss USA. Are you the first active military personnel to hold the title as well? Yes. Wow. Yes. Okay, and how did you juggle those two things? You're currently active...

in the military, how do you find the time? How do you ask, I guess, for permission to do that type of thing? Yeah. Well, for me, I have always said to serve and not be served, to go forth and to serve in any way I can. And even when I was at Stanford, I knew that I wanted to contribute in service. And so not only through my research as an academic contributing to

fighting food insecurity, looking at health and nutrition across the country and across the globe, but then also in nonprofit work that I've involved myself in. I run marathons for charities as well. You're making me feel like such an underachiever. I look at the list of your stuff, and not to jump in here, but your father, a retired major, and your mother...

had pageant history as well. Genetically, this was going to happen. But I said, you know, while I was in my studies at Stanford, I said, you know, what's something I've always wanted to do? And I just asked the question. I said, hey, I think this could be a great opportunity. And I went about the process of getting approval and I competed. And it's given me, I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work in

Army Recruiting Command and speak to so many students across the country. When you go out and you're talking to young people, are you seeing an excitement reborn in them about entertaining this? Because my father passed away a long time ago.

recently, who was a World War II veteran. My younger, well, actually my older brother Gene went into the military and was given all sorts of career options, ended up in the Secret Service, and it was a wonderful path for him. So do you see a little bit of excitement happening now with the younger people when you go out and talk to them? Yes, I see the excitement. I see

feel the excitement, and I think it's just the idea that if you can see me, you can be me. I tell students, you don't have to be Miss USA, but you can find a way to serve your community, to serve your country. Do you ever say to them, you're not going to do what I do? Real quick, I had to ask because I was about to pose a question to the gentleman sitting next to you, and I just realized I was about to say major leisure. No.

Which is his rank and name. And that's a fun name. Yes. Captain Leisure was a little bit cooler. Captain Leisure. Oh, I like Captain Leisure. But you're right. Major Leisure is like, dude, this vacation, Major Leisure. That's right. And I'm a public affairs officer, too. Oh, there you go. It sounds like the recliner you would want. Is that a Major Leisure? That's right.

You've heard it a thousand times. Oh, absolutely. That's great. Most definitely. What is your job? So you're in recruitment and... No, I'm actually the deputy director for outreach and activities for the Northeast region for the Army. So basically what I do is I handle sports outreach with the Eagles, the Phillies, all throughout the Northeast, work with folks like Alma to tell the Army story.

Okay. And there's a great history, obviously, and a great story to be told. Alma, by the way, with getting into the pageant and then leading up to all the things that you have to do to hopefully win an event like that, what...

What exciting things in your life have you experienced at this point with, you know, gaining that title? Yeah, I would say it's been incredibly rewarding to walk into schools all across the country and meet students from all walks of life and talk about the Army, talk about the incredible opportunity it is to serve. And also, you know, in my own personal capacity, running marathons. I run two marathons, training for my third. And so I just... I always go back to that because I think that it's always great to have something that grounds you, but also...

It's awesome because running is definitely a primary factor as a part of the military. So it serves dual purposes. You obviously have all this physical training, but we're seeing in some of the notes that you've talked about being submerged with your gear on and how that was a...

And I fall. And are you naturally afraid of the water? Did you have to overcome fears? What was that like? Yeah, it's funny because I was a lifeguard when I was in high school at the YMCA. I loved that job. It was awesome. Me too, by the way. Yeah. And so when I took this survival swim class at West Point, what you're talking about, I was like, oh, you know, I know how to swim. Right. And I was like, well, this is a different kind of swimming. So what was more, I think I know the answer, but...

Compare and contrast becoming Miss USA and the pageant work and the stuff you had to do for that as opposed to the military. What ends up being more cutthroat in the long run? I wouldn't even say cutthroat. I would say that...

I've learned so much from both spaces. But the number one thing that I hold dear to my heart is that just the opportunity to serve. And I'll ask for that opportunity every day. Alma, have you spent any time in Philadelphia before? And how familiar are you with the fact that the U.S. Army started right here in Philly? And that's what, you know, the celebration tomorrow is the 258th birthday of the U.S. Army.

Yes, that's right. Everyone come out at 1 o'clock at least to Independence Mall for all the events. But my roommate was actually Miss Pennsylvania. Oh. And she was a huge, she's a huge Eagles fan. So I'm like, fly Eagles, fly. Her costume for the state costume was the Philadelphia Eagles. So yeah, I'm going to

I'm a fan. You know what? You're going to have to go get a picture of it. We have these little activation things to get pictures taken, and both of our bird bots are here. Okay. And so those are solely responsible for both of our Super Bowl victories. Yes. So take a picture with those. I love it. We'll explain the story off air of what it's all about, but you do need to do that. Are you a career military person?

Are you going to do this for the rest of your working life? It's so crazy because it's like the weatherman. He's pretty good. Next couple days, ask him about a year out, he's not so good. So we're going to play it by ear. But hey, I always say as long as I'm values driven, as long as there's something that I get to do that is fulfilling and rewarding, I'm always going to want to do it. I have a friend who retired not that long ago. His career military ended up becoming a recruiter at the latter portions as a master sergeant, I believe it was his rank at the end. And

I'm telling you, the benefits that he's ended up with after this full-time service, I was like, wow, dude, I had no idea. There's some real opportunities there, right? Yeah, absolutely. I got the opportunity to work at the NFL for a year in New York. I mean, I've got the opportunity to get my master's degree full-time with the Army. So there's some amazing opportunities that the Army offers. Absolutely.

Well, it's cool. So tomorrow, what time are you going to be on hand and what are you going to be doing? Oh, man, I'm going to be at Independence Mall in the morning. And there's so much going on. There's a parade. The paracommandos are jumping. There's a cake cutting. There you go. A birthday cake cutting. Exactly. And also the Army field band is performing. And they are incredible. Of the military things you mentioned, the cake cutting. That's the one that got Casey fired up. Damn straight.

And we're cutting with a sword, too. There you go. Yeah, that makes even more sense. You love swords. I love swords. There you go. Hey, Bill, talk a little bit about the teams that jump out of the airplanes, because I know you've done some of that with the Phillies and the Eagles in the past. Oh, yeah. And the weather might be a little suspect tomorrow. Are they going to be able to do it no matter what? Yeah, we had the team out there yesterday, actually, on the mall. They're looking at the wind direction and all those things that are important. But this is an elite team. This is from U.S. Special Operations Command, so...

These are the guys that kick in doors in countries that we don't even know about. These are the kinds of guys that are doing this jump. A very specialized team, so that's going to be super cool that we're going to have those guys jump in. Omar, have you done any jumping? I jumped with the Golden Knights earlier this year, and it was absolutely incredible. So Preston did. You had twice skydiving. I did a tandem jump, yes, twice. Is that what you did, tandem? That is what I did, yep. Out of a helicopter or out of an airplane? Airplane.

Okay. I'm sorry, Casey. I've seen them do the jumps out of the helicopters, and that's pretty wild. I thought they had, because I thought I had an opportunity a few years ago to jump with the Golden Knights. Do they do media opportunities with the Golden Knights? They just started doing that again, so if you're interested, we can probably make that happen. Yeah, Preston said he was really interested. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. How many different teams are there? Because there's a bunch of different PR teams that jump. Do you know how many teams...

The leapfrogs and... Yeah, that's the Navy. That's the Navy? Okay. We don't talk about those. Sorry. We have a rivalry. But no, West Point has a jump team. SOCOM has a jump team. And there's several different teams that we have that can jump. Golden Knights is the most prominent. Alma, the reason that I did it two times is because the first time it scared me so bad.

Then I'm like, all right, maybe I missed something. Let's go. It was sensory overload. Let me try this again. Right. No. Terrified me the second time, too. What was your experience like? I've actually gone twice. My first time that I went skydiving, it was my second date with my boyfriend, actually. And then this time, I was like, all right, I'm going to be able to take it all in. This is going to be awesome. And it really was.

How was that? That second time. It was really amazing. I went once and my goggles flew off the second I put my head out the airplane. So I do have to do it again. We had him dress as a clown. Yeah. So it was... He did it on air. The wig and everything came off when you went. So I do have to do it again and I think I would feel safe, safest, doing it with the Golden Knights. You should do that. Yeah, I should probably do that. Most definitely. Would you consider yourself an adrenaline junkie, Yama? I wouldn't say I'm an adrenaline junkie. I would just say that...

I try to live my life out of love. Love is the absence of fear. I just think of, you know, what is it that... Just dream as big as you can, really. So you say things that are very inspiring and you follow through. I say that and then I don't do it.

There's the difference. You got half the equation. I got half of it right, but I can't follow that. Alma, when is your reign as Miss USA? When is that up? I believe the next pageant will probably be in October. Okay. And then I'll crown the next young woman. Okay. Yeah. And then move on. And then move on. Okay. But this is an incredible chapter. I always think that, you know...

pageants, whatever title you hold, Miss Michigan, whatever, maybe Miss USA, it's supposed to fall off your resume. It's supposed to be a chapter in the book, something that you look back on and you say, wow, that was an incredible moment in history, but look at all the other things that I was able to do and spur off of that.

I tell you, I see you guys, and I see we have a number of bases in the area and just military in general, and the status report is good. Things are looking good, and it's wonderful as a citizen of the United States to see that our armed forces are reinvigorated. And it's cool just to celebrate this in its home state and home city. So it's terrific.

Absolutely. And, you know, we're also going to have the Philadelphia Eagles out there tomorrow. We have the cheerleaders. We have Swoop that's going to be there tomorrow. It's really a unique experience for the city of Philadelphia to celebrate the birthplace of the Army. And also, like you talked about, so many Philadelphians can trace their lineage back through soldiers that served in World War I, Vietnam, World War II. So it's an opportunity for folks across the city to kind of celebrate their own shared heritage with the Army. Excellent.

Bill, what time does everything start and where should people be and how long is it going to go offhand? Yeah, so the Stripes and Stars Festival is also going on at the same time tomorrow on Independence Mall. That starts at 1130, but we really kick off at 1 and that will go for the rest of the day. Really till about 730 we have events going on on Independence Mall. That's where everything's really happening at.

Okay, so at least come by for some point tomorrow. There will be something going on at Independence Mall. And just for specifics for Casey, where's that cake cut? Yeah, that's going to be right there on Independence Mall. And you'll get a chance to meet Alma too. She'll be with the USO signing flags there. The Eagles cheerleaders will be signing. And Nate Boyer, who's going to be our MC, former NFL player, and former Green Beret is going to be there as well. So all those folks, it'll be great. Alma, what's your schedule? What time are you going to be doing your stuff? I'm going to be there in the

morning all the way to the night time. That's right. Nice. Wow. Well, it's wonderful to meet you both. Thank you guys for coming by here and thanks for serving and we hope you have a great weekend and happy birthday to you. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Bill Leisure, Major Leisure and First Lieutenant and Miss USA Alma Cooper stopping by the I Bleed for Presidency blood drive. Very cool, man. Yes. I love it. Love it.

Well, it's a beehive of activity here. People are showing up for their appointments. They're stopping by. They're seeing us for a minute, and then they're moving on to the staging area where they then get interviewed. And then we've got to reveal. Maybe we'll do it in the next segment. There is a breakthrough.

in blood donation technology. Steve and I were blown away by this yesterday. This is not hyperbole. No, you're going to be happy. This is a game changer. I told them, I said, why are people not talking about this? And they said, well, you should talk about it tomorrow. So we're going to do that very thing. So we're going to take a break. We'll get to that. We'll get to the B-File. We have some other guests joining us this morning. Connoisseur segment. Stay with us. We'll be back on MMR. This weekend, 93.3 WMMR rocks your dad.

Papa was a roll of snow. I'm gonna be like you, Dad. Father of my life.

But not just your dad. Your husband, your baby daddy, your brother, stepdad, grandpa, pop pop, and even your opah. We're rocking tunes for dads that rock all weekend. Feel free to call our weekend warriors if you've got a request for a dad in your life.

And by request, we mean a song. Not that he quits snoring. It's an MMR Rocks Your Dad weekend. Our salute to all the dads that rock.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. So here's how I'd like things to go in this particular segment. We're going to officially make it Friday with Froggy. Then I'd like to do the bizarre file, and then we'll talk to our guests. Everybody get that? Yes, that's the way we have to do it. All right, Jason, let's make it No Sad Bro Friday now. Hit it, please. All right.

Let's get to the Bizarre File. Now, WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. Bizarre.

This morning is 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. All right, so we will start with this one. It's a court hearing Zoom call. A woman named Asia Outerbridge.

showed up late to her Zoom hearing, and her camera was propped on the counter while she was fixing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a loose house robe. And Judge Sean Perkins asked why she missed the 9 a.m. start, and she held up a letter that listed 1 p.m., and she said she'd been on hold for two hours while caring for her sick child. Perkins ordered her to stop

You would have to imagine they wouldn't allow you to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich actually in court. The...

Judge was frustrated over the etiquette, booted her from the call. She later apologized and still must answer a misdemeanor open container charge. I didn't realize the Zoom thing was still in effect. You could be doing that remotely still. Yeah, I guess. That's a shocker. Yeah, in some situations they allow it. Florida deputies say a man named Patrick Mitchell, who is 70 years old, ruined more than $10,500 in canned spam and Vienna sausages by P.

peeing on two full pallets at a Sam's Club. I get this. So sometimes even if closed bottles of beer or cans of beer are, there's a flood and they consider them tainted. But just simply peeing on them would make them... You can hand wash a can, right? Yeah, I would think so. Would you want to drink out of a can that you know was peed on by somebody else? To drink out of your Vienna sausage can?

Good point. When I hear cans, I just automatically think, you're right. Well, there's some juice in there. There is some juice in there. Sausage juice. Oh, my God. I need a good tall glass of Vienna sausage juice. A shopper took a photo. You know what? I automatically, and I knew he said Vienna sausages, but when you say can, I just think of a can of soda. Yeah.

Who's thirsty? It's weekend time.

What you drinking over there, buddy? He had a sausage. All right, so a security video caught Mitchell standing with his hands below his belt for several seconds before wandering off to browse snacks and lounge on patio furniture. Staff confirmed the urine and tossed 188 bulk packs of sausages and 348 packs of spam. Membership records matched the suspect and police arrested him at his home.

He lives in the villages in Florida where all the weirdos live. Mitchell pleaded not guilty to felony criminal mischief and disorderly conduct and was released on $3,000 bond. Bad day for Vienna sausage. Hey, this is the second tragic story in this region that I've had.

in the past couple of weeks. A 29-year-old skier died on America's highest mountain after triggering an avalanche while trying to descend its treacherous peak. Oh, man. So Nicholas Vizzini from Washington State was an unnamed climbing partner with an unnamed climbing partner on Tuesday when they accidentally caused a crisis on...

Denali at over 16,000 feet. The Alaskan mountain was the subject of an intensive search after the two became trapped under heavy snow. And according to officials from the Denali National Park and Preserve, rangers responded to the mountain within minutes after Vizzini's partner was spotted in debris from the avalanche.

Horrific. Horrific.

And this is the second recorded death this year. Alex Chu also lost his life on the mountain earlier this month. We told you about it. He reportedly died after falling over 3,000 feet on the mountain steep West Buttress climbing route, which is the same route where Vizzini died on Tuesday. If you're out and about and you're hiking, you have to have a couple of cans of Vienna sausage to drink in case you end up in a crisis. The avalanche that killed Vizzini is known as soft sand.

You remember that footage last week of the entire town being taken out at the bottom of an avalanche?

I think it was Switzerland? Yeah. Yeah, so yes, it's an incredible sight. In Kentucky, the Murray Police Department responded to a report of a raccoon being released into an open business. Police said that the suspect left the scene and was identified as Jonathan Mason. Mason was later pulled over and refused to...

cooperate with officers by not rolling down his windows or exiting his vehicle. Authorities then said he was then removed from the car and arrested. The raccoon reportedly bit someone inside the business, and police said Mason had previously been warned to not enter the property. Now, I don't know where this guy got the raccoon from or why he decided to release it in the business, but he thought it was a good idea. You're free to shop. Yes.

Authorities charged Mason with several offenses in that. All right, and then we'll do one more story, and then we have a guest we're going to talk to. Bitcoin-rich futurist Herbert Sim says that he is pouring cash into Neurochip.com, a London startup testing a helmet that reads brainwaves and converts them into computer commands with no brain implant required. Now, working with former Singapore professor Dmitry Mikhailov,

Sim claims that the project could lead to genetically or robotically enhanced mutants capable of fighting disease and extending lifespans to 500 years. So are these for football helmets? No, they're not football helmets. He cites Japan's 2019 approval of animal-human embryo research as proof that hybrid beings are already in the works and predicts that super-powered technology

transhumans will appear by 2030. Wow. While critics dismiss the plan as sci-fi hype, Sims insist pop culture tales like Terminator preview humanity's next step

and says public education is needed so ordinary people... Does this guy have a girlfriend? ...are not left behind. I don't know, but he wants to make... 500 years. ...mutants. Yeah. So we will see how that plays out. And they can start a school in upstate New York, Preston. And that is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. All right, so we are here at the, I believe, for President's Day Blood Drive. We're at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania, again. And we've got this place tricked out. We've got these, like Casey was saying, we have these little...

Activations where you can go and take pictures and post those if you like. We encourage you to do that and spread the word about the event. Tomorrow is World Blood Donor Day. And we would like to welcome the regional chief executive officer of the American Red Cross, Jennifer Graham. Good morning. Hi, Jen. How are you doing? I'm doing awesome. How are you? We are doing wonderful. Now, we're going to get right to this. Okay. So me and Steve went and donated blood yesterday at Live Casino in Philadelphia. And...

We were blown away by the advances in blood retrieval, in blood donations. I'm going to go ahead and say this. Guys, I don't know if you know this or not, but for the iron test...

They don't prick your finger anymore. Okay, I'm sorry. Well, then how can they find out if you have enough iron in your blood? Sit down, Casey. I know you are, but reset. You're going to have your mind blown. I sat down. I'm like, all right. And by the way, it's... With...

The finger prick thing, I do not look forward to that. I don't say that I'm scared of it or anything along those lines, but it's just one of those things like, oh, yeah, man, I got to do that, too. It's actually... I don't want to do that. It's of the two things. I always say the actual blood drawing is nothing. Yeah.

The finger prick was always like, yeah, I agree. This is the one that I really don't like, but it's okay. It's over in a second. But it was the one little thing that's like, ah, that blows, but we get past that. It's like a bee sting. It kind of, you know, it's like, I don't want that. I don't like it. I don't like it. So, Casey, and we're going to get from Jen the details on this. They put a little cover.

cuff around your thumb. Okay. And it's almost like a blood pressure cuff. Yeah. And you just sit there and it pulses for a couple seconds and then they tell you if you're good to go or not. And they don't do it. And no mouth thermometer, electronic thermometer. Really? Hold like a thing up to your forehead and get all the data that way. Jen, tell us about this advancement. Why have you been holding out on us? Yeah. I was saying yesterday, I'm like, why

There's no one talking about this. We were saving it just for you. All right. What's that thing called? Do you know? I don't know what it's called. I will find out. But I will say that I agree with you. That finger prick was really, really probably for me. The thing that was holding me back sometimes is because it's really very painful. It's just the one unpleasant...

But it's not even that unpleasant. It's a short-term thing. But to have it eliminated completely is amazing. I think we're really trying hard to make the blood donation process that much more efficient and that much more friendly for our donors to come in and give. And by processing through that, which is sort of the pre-interview, and you sit down and they get your information. Rapid pass. Rapid pass. It made it that much quicker. It does. It really does. People have a constriction of time, so we want to make sure that we get people in and out and back to their day.

So I'm going to say this again. They don't prick your finger anymore when you go to donate blood. Dude, it is awesome. That was the one thing I didn't really like. And I was reticent to say it.

Because it's not that bad. You know what it was? It was a sting, like Preston said, but it was a sting that registered in your brain for a while. It's the anticipation of that as well. And you would remember what that little sting, which was annoying and a bit painful, felt like. And it was something that you would kind of like...

You just wouldn't look forward to it. Everything else about it flows just fine and is nice and a good experience. That was an annoying thing that you don't have to deal with it. And the drawing of blood is nothing. Exactly. Actually, you feel that less than you would have felt the finger break. And now you don't even have to worry about that. You do not.

How about that? So that word needs to get out. And if you're considering about being a, now, can we still accept some walk-ins today if possible? This afternoon would be a great time to come in and check out that new non-invasive finger sticker. Yes. Yes. We're here all day. So we've been told here walk-ins are welcome after 11 a.m. All right. So we got some spots to fill it. Sometimes people cancel. And fortunately, they let us know ahead of time so we know where we've got the gaps.

If you have any inclination to help out with this, then we highly recommend you come by the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks. Walk-in's available after 11 a.m. I would imagine they can process you through here pretty quick. As Steve said, the whole thing is expedited, and we'd love for you to be a part of it. And tomorrow is World Donor Day, right? Sure is, yes. Okay, so that's the big push to get.

everybody in the world to get on board and do this. Absolutely. And if I could, I just wanted to give maybe a shout out to all of you for all of the work that you do. 20 years strong. Thank you. That's kind of a weak one. There you go.

20 years. You know, I had a chance to talk to some donors that have been here every year for 20 years. It's also a family affair. You think people that are coming in with their sisters, their brothers, parents and their children, partners. It's really what you do for the community is phenomenal. Every single year, about 10 percent, close to 100 donors are giving for the very first time.

That's actually... There was a gentleman we just met who brought his two daughters with him, and they're all donating today. And it is a family affair. And again, this lives and dies literally by the generosity of people coming and giving of their own bodies in the most visceral of ways to allow other people to live. And how many...

It's just a ton of things that this blood goes towards. Can you give us an idea of where the blood collected today will be going to immediately? Yes, absolutely. And again, in celebration of World Blood Donor Day, you know, the need is constant, right? There's no substitute for blood. Every two seconds, someone in this country is receiving a blood transfusion. So it's used for, you know, those things that you think of. You think of emergencies. You think of traumas. You think of accidents.

But a lot of our blood products are used to support cancer patients. They're used to support those that are battling sickle cell disease. You name it, there's a lot of different techniques. The elderly. My mom has to get blood transfusions from time to time just because of her age and iron issues. Yep.

Yeah. So, yeah. And that's what I was always amazed by. There are things that we don't think about because, like you said, accidents, stuff like that, that's when we think that the bank is going to be tapped into. But also, you know, children, babies that have conditions regularly where they need blood, donor blood. Absolutely. You think of the specialty hospitals that we're blessed with right here in the Philadelphia area. Yeah.

and how many people come in from around the world to get treatment, you know, making sure that we've got that really great, strong, and safe and stable blood supply is crucial for these children. I take it as a point of pride that I have apparently good baby blood. And I look like a large old baby, so it works out.

I think there's a symmetry to that. Are you an oh, how we need you? Is that your blood type? An oh, how we need you? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's right. But I mean, and then there are people who go above who are doing the platelets and are doing the double reds and doing all that stuff. But the people that do that again, and Preston observed this yesterday, that-

There is a smile on the donors faces. There is the knowledge that they've done something good and selfless. And if you'd like to experience it, if you've never experienced it, make this the year. Make this the event where you come down and donate blood because you'll see it is something magical. It is something magical. 20 years over 20,000 donations strong. This is the day to come in if you can and to help us.

Make sure we've got that supply ready for the summertime. You said after 11 a.m. people can start walking in if they want. What's the latest that people can show up today? The latest they can show up is...

Four? Four. Four. The final appointment time today is 645. That's the final appointment time. So they'll get everyone in and then they process through. So four would be the cutoff for showing up so they can get you through, right? Or even five. Or even five. And by the way, Jen, if you do the power red, that counts as two donations. Two. And I was talking to somebody yesterday who did that.

Power Red and I was like, oh, would it take a couple hours? No, it was like 20 minutes, something like that. So it's really not that much longer. It really isn't, especially if you do that rapid pass and now we've got that new temperature check and your iron test. We're making it as streamlined as possible for you. Let me say this again. They don't prick your finger anymore when you come and donate blood. Right, yes! Round of applause! Everybody! Ho, ho, ho, ho!

The beautiful thing. We need to shout it from the mountaintops and let everyone know that you don't get your finger pricked anymore for the Ironblood test. They no longer prick your finger. So come by and see us. We have lots of reasons for you to be here. Besides that, you get the, I believe for presidency, blood drive. And we also have, and by the way, Kristen, who designed that, is supposed to be stopping by here sometime this morning.

We have the President Steve Cho tote bag from Window Nation. Our friends from Primo Hoagies have been supplying food for us and some of the donors and everybody. And I want to thank, again, Live Casino Hotel Philadelphia. Day number one, Jackie Bam Bam was reporting live there. We have all of the Blood Drive t-shirts hanging up, too, throughout the years, which is pretty damn cool. And different activations. We have both Bird Bot.

Yes. And listen, I want to implore anybody that's coming, anybody that's here, all these things are here for you to take pictures in front of. I haven't seen a whole lot of people taking pictures in front of these things, so I want to encourage people. Get over there and take a picture. Well, what we have this year is we have a nice little audience area right here. Yeah. So people can process from here over to sort of the on-deck locations.

And on the other side of this large sort of divider, this curtain, that's where the magic is happening. And then you can come back and watch and hang out. And we have a whole bunch. And then after us, Pierre's here, correct? Yep. And then Brent Porsche will be here, too. So it's a full day event. All day. Come by and see us. Details at WMMR.com. Jennifer Graham from the Red Cross. Thank you very, very much. We're going to take a break. We'll come back in a moment. And we'll get to the connoisseur when we return. Stay with us.

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

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you, Marissa. A helpful tip if you are stopping by the Blood Drive today to donate and you're going to be in this room for a little while, they purposely keep it a little bit on the chilly side here. And if you are prone to, you know, somebody who gets cold very easily, bring like a little hoodie or jacket or something like that. A good idea. Because if it gets too warm, it's not good for people that are donating blood and you want to make sure that it's...

here in that regard. So I just want to give you a heads up. I forgot about that until yesterday when we were at live and I'm like, oh my God, it's cold in here. Like, oh yeah, tomorrow, make sure you wear something. So just a heads up on that tip. All right. Today is Friday and we like to dive into the world of culinary experiences.

We can't use that. With the connoisseur. That's all right. It's time for the connoisseur. It works that way, too. So we got movies, clips that we're going to play in a little bit for your chance to win some goodies. Our sponsor is Acme Markets, and we'll give away $50 gift cards. So let's do a story and order up.

right now. And I'm going to start with this. Marissa was the first person to let me know about this a few weeks ago that the Michelin Red Guide is coming to Philadelphia. So Michelin stars for restaurants in Philly and inspectors are already starting to scout local restaurants for the award of the famed Michelin star. Michelin says that selected restaurants will be announced in northeast cities a

celebration later this year. Boston is also going to be included for the first time. It blows my mind that Philadelphia and Boston were not already a part of it. Yes, it's laughable, but I wonder so. And, Mercer, maybe you can illuminate us on this. Do they go in...

you know, sort of the way a food critic would undercover or is that how it goes? Well, it's exactly what I'm going to talk about right here, Steve. So I'll give you the rundown on what that is. So Marissa, sorry, I know Steve asked you, but I have the information right here. So it, the whole thing began in 1889 in France, Andre and Edward Michelin founded the Michelin tire company and to encourage travel, they distributed a

It was a red-bound guide, so that's why they call it the Red Guide, with maps and helpful tips on routes and destinations. And then the guide started to add lists of restaurants and eateries, along with other points of travel interest. And being French, readers had questions about the quality of food at these establishments. So the brothers just started a rating system of a single star to denote high-quality establishments worthy of their elite customers and their fancy automobiles. I'm going to eat, God damn it.

This is early in the world of automobiles. So the guide created a hierarchy of one, two, and three-star establishments. One star, and this is exactly how they describe it, is high-quality cooking worth a stop. Two stars...

Excellent cooking, worth a detour. And three stars, was exceptional cuisine, worthy of a special journey. So it's worthy of setting up a trip alone. So wait a second, there's nothing, so there's no, one star is worth a stop. Yep. But there's nothing that is avoid at all costs. No, no, no, no. Okay. This is all only for good. Yeah, puke pit from hell. Yeah, so. You know what's so funny is, like I kind of, um.

live my life at that one star level. Meaning, if I'm in an area and I'm like, wait, hang on a second. That eatery is two minutes away. I'm going to go do that. Proximity determines what you're eating. I went to Del Rossi's Cheesesteaks because we were talking about it on the radio. We were on the radio.

And we're on the radio. No, but I had this, I had to shoot a video for Roy Rogers in Cherry Hill. And on my way back, I was coming over the Ben Franklin Bridge. And I was like, hang on a second. If I make a right here, Del Rossi's is two blocks that way. And that's when I went. And that's, I mean, that's kind of how I live my life when I'm eating on the road. So Michelin one star is more like a four star that we know. So it actually starts higher. And then there's very few.

few Michelin three stars in the world. And those are like white tablecloths. They are the kind of service that you see in like Beauty and the Beast where everybody comes up at once and like opens the tray and you know, they're very unique. Hey Marissa, when we were growing up, there were like four really well established and

renowned restaurants in and around Philadelphia. One of them was a Beck fan. I think the other one was Four Seasons. You have bookbinders as well. Well, there were two in Wayne. One was La Fourchette and one was Takei. I don't think that they were four-star Michelin restaurants, but they were four-star something restaurants. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, Michelin only has three. That's the highest. Okay, so in some guide somewhere, La Fourchette, which doesn't exist anymore, and Takei, which doesn't exist anymore, had four stars, but I have no idea what that guide is. What is it? What?

There's one that awards diamonds. Oh, yeah. What's the maroon one? Maroon 5? I don't know. Probably. I was thinking maybe it's Diners Club? I don't know. There was a steakhouse, a famous steakhouse in Puerto Rico that we would go to occasionally when we'd go down and vacation down there. And they had four diamonds there.

And I don't know who awards those. I'm not sure. I'll come over here. I'll start looking. All right. All right. So how do restaurants get the Michelin star? Restaurants have to be consistently extraordinary to garner three stars to ensure restaurants' excellence is consistent. Michelin has to surveil them repeatedly, which it does using a table of mysterious diners called Inspectors.

And they dine at restaurants unannounced and undercover and inevitably write critiques of everything, ingredients, food, chefs, dishes in their reports. So that's how they do it. They do it secretively. How do you come and get that person? That I don't know, Case. But to counteract the guide's classist bias, Michelin introduced what was called the Bibb

Gorman Award in 1997 to identify affordable best value for money restaurants. Michelin starred establishments that this is easier than that offer. They offer more casual dining. In 2020, the guide introduced yet another award. It's called the Green Star, and that's for eateries with farm to table fresh quality as well. Yeah, I'd like to see them really reduce it down to like a choke and puke. Yeah.

You know, truck stops and stuff like that. Could you imagine a Michelin-awarded truck stop? Well, there is, like, one Caribbean restaurant that is, like, a little hut on the side of a river somewhere that just serves, like, jerk chicken, and they have a Michelin star. Oh, really? Wow. There are some pretty...

but the food is that good that it warrants a star. All right. Steve, but that's why, like, diners, drive-ins, and dives exist. Yeah, that speaks to us. Yeah, yeah. It speaks to everybody. You know, somebody who's going to eat at Lebec Thin might also go grab a burger at, you know, Chuckie's Grub Burgers, you know? Yeah.

I love Chuck E. Best Vienna sausage juice in the world. They're still missing out a lot. Only in 2007, which was 118 years after its inception, did the Guide recognize Japanese cuisine as worthy of its gaze. Soon after, stars rained down on Tokyo's many stellar eateries. In fact, I think they might hold the most. I think, yes. You reeled off a list of the top restaurants. It was a while ago, Preston, and a lot of them were in Japan.

And then on a contemporary map charting where a Michelin guide is found, huge swaths of the world are missing. There's no Michelin guide in India, one of the world's greatest and oldest cuisines, or in Africa with its multiplicity of cultural flavors. So they are continuing to expand. And we'll see. By the way, the industry officials suggest that Michelin stars at an average of $100 per diner per star.

That's how much it will cost you once they start to get stars. So one star will cost you an extra $100 to eat there on average. So Preston, just to go back on a couple of things that we were talking about, the Maroon Guide, Marissa, I believe you were thinking of the Zagat Guide. Oh, yeah, that's it. They do a lot of restaurants. And then Steve, the Diamonds, believe it or not, that's AAA. They assign those to different hotels and restaurants. And the highest rating you can get from AAA is a five diamond rating. But Maroon...

most of the best ones in the world rank at four diamonds. How about that? You know, yeah, it's...

I like eating at a place that I enjoy and finding out after the fact. It would never sway over whether I go to a place. All right, well, we have our first food clip to play. And Marissa has pulled clips, and all of these foods are listed on the Red Cross Iron Rich Food Pyramid. Nice. That are represented in the movie. I see the tie-in. So let's play our first clip and see if we can identify this. Go ahead, Jason. This is our atomic universe. This changes everything.

Everything we know about life, evolution, our place in the galaxy. Holy s***. That guy looks like broccoli. All right, 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know the answer to that. What movie is that food clip from? And we have a $50 Acme Markets gift card for the correct answer. All right, order up. All right, this...

is a story about sauces. Sauces and crackers. I love sauces. A new survey finds that 79% of people consider themselves proud sauce lovers. And 78% take their sauce so seriously, they believe it has the power to make or break a meal. Are you a sauce person? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. What about a sauce on a good steak?

Yeah, I think it can work. I mean, it depends. I usually try to be a purist when it comes to steak and put nothing but salt and pepper on it. But from time to time, you know, a good Bernays sauce will work on a steak. What sauce would you drink in and of itself? Wow. Hollandaise. Very good question. It's so rich, though, Nick. Well, it's for dessert. Do you have a good dessert sauce? No.

After a good meal, Preston. Our hollandaise is particularly wonderful. A nice little demi-glaze. I think maybe you could sip on that. A small little cup of butter. I guess if you would consider a dressing a kind of sauce, like a balsamic-based dressing, when I'm finished with the salad, I'll polish off. You will? I'll drink that right up. I think I would probably...

In the world of sauces I would drink or salad dressings I would drink, I would probably drink French. Okay. I would do like the spaghetti sauce count. Yeah. Because I will like after getting done like a nice little like chicken parm. Nice workout. Nice little chicken parm.

Like if the only thing that's left is a delicious sauce, I will spoon that. Absolutely. Interesting delineations between sauces, dressings, and condiments here. This is true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nick, I think it's kind of you got to be open to interpretation of these. Condiments are so you don't have babies. According to those who surveyed, sauce always belongs on some foods like French fries, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs.

There are even foods that people flat out won't eat without sauce, including chicken wings, cheeseburgers, and tacos as well. I'll give you one that I had in a meal last night, Preston. Shrimp without cocktail sauce, to me, is pretty boring. I agree. And I love shrimp, and I love lobster and all sorts of different shellfish, but I had a few shrimp last night without the cocktail sauce, and I was like...

What am I doing? I am totally on board with that, Nick. I am totally on board with that. I can't imagine having shrimp without cocktail sauce. It's pretty boring. I hate shrimp, so it doesn't, yeah, but I don't, I actually tend to go sauceless. Like, I don't put ketchup on burgers. I don't put ketchup on fries. I don't put, the only thing I do in the realm of salad dressing is the balsamic vinaigrette.

Okay, so you're not a sauce guy then? I'm not a sauce guy. Okay. The top choice for wings is ranch, but some do prefer barbecue sauce with their wings. What? When it comes to nuggets, barbecue sauce is the favorite, followed by ranch and honey mustard. But like, I'm sorry, barbecue sauce over blue cheese? That makes... For wings? For wings. I think this is more, Casey, so...

Imagine a fried chicken wing with no sauce at all on it. Right. Close your eyes. You know what I mean? So usually there's a base sauce on chicken, hot one wings when you order them. When you do wings, do you do ranch or do you do blue cheese? Blue cheese. Yeah. Yeah, without question. But I think it just means that base sauce because you can have it like a sweet sauce.

wings or you can super spicy or buffalo or garlic. Mango habanero. By the way, and I'm sorry to harbor on the shrimp for a second, but I felt like I was slumming it with shrimp last night. I had a bag of shrimp and a little bowl of cocktail sauce and I would just pull all the

I didn't even use a plate. I would just put the shrimp peels in a bowl, and I must have looked like a hobo who was eating shrimp. How many shrimps did you have? Just under a pound. I went to the grocery store yesterday. That's a lot. That's a lot.

That's a lot of shrimps. Yeah. Yeah, because I had short cocktail at a graduation party on Sunday, and I felt like I ate too much. Yeah. And I probably had like 10. They were jumbo shrimp. They were big-ass shrimp. And by the end of them, Casey, I was like, nah, it's probably three too many. I just don't get the shrimp thing. I don't. Yeah. Is it a texture? I don't know. Because it's not tasty. Because it's not a...

Fishy. Oh, yeah. I don't know what it is. All right. Marinara is the most popular choice for mozzarella sticks, but some like them with ranch and others like them with ketchup. What in the world?

What insane lunatic uses ranch on mozzarella sticks? Well, I was thinking the ketchup is a little bit odd. Show of hands, anybody use ketchup on mozzarella sticks? No. How about ranch? Would you dip yours in ranch? We have one guy, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yeah, there's a few people that like the ranch. A lot of ranch lovers out there.

All right, so the average person has eight different kinds of sauces in their fridge right now. I got way more than that. You know what's funny is you'll go in, and I'll say, as I'm assessing what we have in the refrigerator, and I'm like, in the back I'll find fish sauce. Like, you know, Asian fish sauce. Oh, 2017. You know what I mean?

You buy that for one recipe. That's right. You use it, and then you don't know what to do with it after that. Back in the fridge. Unless it is on the front of whatever shelf I'm looking at, it might as well be going through a wormhole. I'll never use it. It's got to be right up front.

Because for me, that's where the refrigerator exists. Well, Steve, you're getting a new kitchen. We are getting a new kitchen. When does the new fridge come in? Yeah, from Ray's. It's coming in two weeks. So that's like an interesting opportunity because then it'll be empty, right? You can build it. And the shelves come out. So I can see what's behind everything. I saw a pretty good ADHD hack about

that said put all of your sauces in the drawers and then put all of the fresh snacks and things that go bad on the door. Because every time you open the fridge, you look at the door and you don't open the drawers. So it's like for people whose brains work that way. I thought it was a really good hack.

Interesting. I may have to try that out. All right. Overall, 61% of respondents call themselves sauce people, and they're more likely to be type A personalities and adventure seekers as well. Isn't that what caused World War I, the battle between the two factions? And those who like their food sauiceless tend to be type B personalities who are less impulsive. So sauces have a lot to say about who you are and what type of person you are as well.

All right, we're going to play this movie clip. It has to do with food. Actually, one of the foods that's recommended from the Red Cross for iron-rich nutrients. So, Jason, hit it, please. This is our atomic universe. This changes everything we know about life, evolution, our place in the galaxy. Holy s***. That guy looks like broccoli. We are going to go to Bob. See if we can get an answer. Hey, Bob, good morning to you.

Sorry to bother you guys at work today. It's all good, Bob. Do you know what movie that's from? Would that be Ant-Man and the Boss? Ant-Man is correct, yes. We are...

We're going to set you up with a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a flash, Acme's flash grocery delivery pickup gets you fresh groceries, 30 minutes less, fast, fresh, right to your door. Acme fresh foods, local flavors. We have another clip that we're going to play. Let's go for it, Jason. What do we have? Mister, what was I doing out in the ocean? Well, you see, that's something you like to do. You know, dive for oysters at night. Sometimes you get pretty far from the shore and pan under till, well... Oysters and a cold ocean at night? That doesn't sound like me.

All right. 610-660-9333 is the number. Let's see if you know what that's from. And order up. Oh, wait a minute. Casey. What? What? I missed it. It's time for... Hold on. The Fast Food Roundup. Yeah. All right.

I do have some interesting stories from the world of fast food, and I'm going to link them together. This ranking is from a group called Seating Masters. They based more than 40,000 Yelp reviews to come up with the best fast food French fries in the United States. Okay, now I can dive back into this conversation. Yeah, buddy. All right, so French fries. Where do you want to go? You want to go 10 to 1 or 1 to 10? 10 to 1.

Let's go five down and then five up to ten. Okay. Before we do that, can we say what our favorite fast food french fries are first? Okay. And see where that ranks? Yeah, go ahead. All right. I'm going five, guys. All right. Does that count as fast food? Yes. Okay. It's in that list?

I don't know. I'm counting it as fast food, so whatever you want to do. All right. You threw a monkey wrench into my thing. Yeah. If you don't, pick whatever you want. I'm going to say Five Guys and then also the old standard McDonald's. All right. And Nick, you have a take on this? Yeah. McDonald's is such an easy answer, but I think they're my favorite.

All right. And Marissa, you like fries? I do. I'm not an expert in this area, but I do love some Burger King fries because they sneak in a little onion ring once in a while. Okay. Neither Burger King nor McDonald's are on the best fast food French fries list. None of them. My favorite, by the way, is Shake Shack because I had that yesterday. Okay.

And I'd reminded myself how much I do like those crinkle cut fries. I used to like waffle fries. I still do. They used to be my favorite, but they've been edged up by Shake Shack. You know where the Chick-fil-A fries, the waffles? Yep. So number 10 on this list is Checkers slash Rally's. What?

Number nine is Hardee's. Number eight is Arby's. Number seven is Zaxby's. Number six is Raising Cane's. Number five, Chick-fil-A for best fast food French fries. Number four is Bojangles. There's so many of these fries they've never even tried. Number three, and I have to echo this. I love these. Freddy's frozen custard and steak burgers. So they have shoestring fries. Yeah, my kids love them. They're the real skinny ones. They're great.

great. I don't know if I've ever had them. The problem, Steve, is the way you have to consume them because they're so thin. You need a batch. You need a batch. You gotta grab a bunch of them and shove them in your mouth. And they're not all the same length and size and stuff like that. The girth is always the same. Yeah, and the veins. Might I recommend a fork? Yeah. You could. But then you have a harder time dipping that in the Freddy sauce.

So that's why the fingers come in. I've never been to this place. What if you were to lay them out, dump them out of the container, and then drizzle the sauce on there and then use your fork? It's like the sexy fries. That's how they do it at Butcher and Barkey. I'll try that. My entire existence is being inverted. So Freddy's was a Midwest chain, and they're starting to open up more in their area. Where is one? Where do you go? Right around the corner from my house. There's one right by me, too. Sorry to interrupt.

There's another one in Brookhaven. Would it be worth us moving? I think so. Okay. I think so. We can either move to Brookhaven, Broomall, or Harleysville. The custard, the shakes are fantastic, too. And then number two on the list is Shake Shack. And number one, top ten best fast food French fries in the country in an Out Burger. Wow. Yeah. That was a mind-eff. Yep. They ranked number one.

Do you know, years ago, and I think I brought this up about 200 or 300 times on the show, I won a coloring contest for McDonald's, and I got a big award, and I traded out the award in the equal amount of french fries. So I was such a massive McDonald's french fry fan. So I have another fast food story, and this is from the Experts Online Casino, Casanoja. They analyzed 54 menu items in six categories.

All right. And now you know that a lot of these, they're all being...

competitive with their $5 meals. What is the one that you like, Case? So McDonald's, $5 meal deal. I get the McDouble. You get a McDouble, you get a small fry, you get a four-piece nugget and a small drink for $5, man. It's pretty amazing. Which is crazy because the soda tax in Philadelphia, it'll cost you more in Philadelphia than it will in the Burbs.

He's got to slow it down, man. No, no, it's true. When you go to a fast food restaurant? Yeah, so when I go to my one of three McDonald's, either in Havertown, Broomhall, or Ardmore, those are the main three that I go to. It's 531. Okay. But when I went to the one on City Line Avenue, it was like 570. I was like, what the hell are you doing?

What the hell are you talking about? $570. I was like, oh, soda tax. You plan more than Magellan planned his travels. I don't. No, no, no. Going back to your first story, Preston, it's all about proximity. Where am I? Oh, there's McDonald's over there. All right. All right, so there are nine restaurants on this list. Number nine, the lowest one is McDonald's, believe it or not. Number eight, Chick-fil-A. Then Arby's at seven. Sonic at number six. KFC is five.

Popeyes is fourth, and here we go in the top three. Your best bang for your buck at fast food restaurants, according to this survey. Number three is Burger King. Number two is Wendy's. A little surprised at that. Yeah, Wendy's is a popular one these days. But number one, where your money goes farthest.

Taco Bell. What? Yep. I disagree. I agree wholeheartedly. I feel like you get a real good bang for your buck there because it's filling. And then a good 30 or 40 minutes later, you poop it right out. Yeah.

It really helps you stay regular. By the way, I was on a Sonic kick for like two or three years. Like a Sonic boom, if you will? A Sonic boom. Yeah. When Ben was maybe three or four, you know, three, four, five years old, he freaking loved it. We went to that one up in, not Audubon, but Royers Ford. Sonic boom. A lot.

And I have not been to a Sonic probably since then. We were there a lot. And that was like 12, 13 years ago. It's still open. Is it still there? Yep. All right. I drive by it all the time. Do you ever go? Yeah, from time to time. Okay. But I can't believe Arby's is ahead of McDonald's on that list.

I think Arby's is half-top. Well, it also has to do with portion size, how much you're getting for how much you're paying. So when you order one of those larger sandwiches, it's probably a better deal as far as how much it weighs and what you're getting, you know, all that. It's like that old Yiddish joke, the food here is terrible and the portions are so small. Yeah.

All right, and one last fast food story. Speaking of McDonald's, their shares dipped on Tuesday after Redburn Atlantic gave the burger chain its sole sell rating, saying shifting consumer patterns. And listen to this. First time I've heard this. Shifting consumer patterns due to weight loss drugs and inflation are cause for concern. This was predicted. Yeah. Because of the Ozempic boom and all these other...

drugs. This is putting a big hit in fast food and in potato chips and pretzels and snack foods. Well, you've got to figure, and I'm one of them, weighed 100 pounds more five years ago. I wasn't necessarily concerned about

the quality of food that I was eating. Right. You know what I mean? And I would imagine, you know, people like me, if you're not, like, that's your main consumer right there. Do you have these discussions about the quality of food at the three McDonald's you frequent? No, no, no, no, no. Because I don't want any input. I just, I know it's not good for me. No, you know, I, I,

We contend that it's pretty good. If you eat right. Or you? Yeah, yeah. No, it's not. Well, in moderation. In moderation. You get a salad at a McDonald's. Talk to Chad Ochocinco. That is a guy who eats McDonald's. He was a professional. One of the best wide receivers in professional football. He eats at McDonald's every single day.

It's all about... It's the exception that proves the rule. If you eat at McDonald's every single day, on average, it's not healthy. It's not good for you. Well, it's not necessarily nutritious. Yes, I know what you're getting at. Absolutely. So, as more Americans turn to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic to lose weight, McDonald's could see as much as $428 million annual impact to revenue representing about 1% of system sales. I wonder... No, never mind. You're thinking about McDempic? No, no, no. I was wondering, like...

Those people are not all of a sudden eating healthy. You know what I mean? It's a learning curve, right? Yeah. But what it does do is it tamps down your cravings, does it not? Well, no. It really just tamps down how much you can eat. Like, you feel fuller faster. Well, there you go. Yeah. All right. So, anyhow, that's your fast food roundup. All right. We're going to play this clip, see if somebody knows what movie it's from. Jason, hit it again, please. Mister, what was I doing out in the ocean? Uh...

Well, you see, that's something you like to do. You know, dive for oysters at night. Sometimes you get pretty far from the shore and pan under it for a while. Oysters in a cold ocean at night? That doesn't sound like me.

All right, we're going to go to the phones and see if someone knows. Oh, it's Leanne. She's here. Hang on. Oh, Leanne, come over here. Yeah. Hang on. I'm going to put you on hold because we don't need the feedback from that. So, oh, my God, what happened to my phone? Casey, I don't know what happened there. What'd you do? I hit a button, and now I... Okay, all right. Hi, Leanne. How you doing? I'm great. Excellent. All right, Kate, do you know what movie that's from? Yes, I do. What is it?

Overboard. Overboard is correct. That is right. So we are going to set you up with the Acme Markets, a $50 gift card. So congratulations to you. Thank you so much. Where are you from, Leanne? I'm from Pennsburg. From Pennsburg? Yes. Thanks for coming to the Blood Drive. Thank you. How happy are you that they didn't have to prick your finger today? I was like,

this. Right. She's like, this is how they take your iron levels. And I was like, I'm so excited. I know. Applaud if you love the new methodology. Yeah.

I'm sorry, what did you say? My finger would hurt for like five days after getting pranked. Yeah, it's awesome. So congratulations, Leanne. Thanks for being here. We appreciate it. All right, we have another clip that we're going to play. It has to do with food and more specifically foods listed on the Red Cross's Iron Rich Food Pyramid. So Jason, let's play the next one. You like walnuts, don't you, big boy? I love them.

A lot of people like walnuts. They're good for the liver. Yeah, but they're bad for the brain. You're sloppy. You're under arrest. Get him out of here, boys. We got a nice place for him to sleep where they don't serve walnuts. All right, 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know what movie that's from. Order up. All right, martini lovers, here's something for you.

With over 180,000 posts and millions of views on TikTok, hashtag martinis have taken social media by storm, showcasing a variety of creative spins on the classic drink. And as the food and beverage world continues to explore and experiment with new flavors, the beloved blue cheese stuffed oxtails

Olive has often left skeptics behind, perhaps until nine. I personally love the blue cheese stuffed olive, but sometimes the blue cheese can be a bit much for some people. So I am not a drinker. I'm more a narcotics kind of guy. But I would say that the martini seems to be on a big uptick these days. Do you find yourself...

having more martinis? No, I'm not really a vodka guy. Okay. I used to be. I used to drink martinis and Gibsons regularly. But then I went to bourbon. Once you go bourbon, you never go back. You never go back, baby. You never go bourbon. Yep. Hey, I don't like martini glasses. They're... They're offensive.

No. They spill easy. They spill very, very easy. And if you order it and you get a shaky waiter, you lose half of your drink on the walk over to your table. That's a bad name. The shaky waiter. Shaky waiters. You're right, though. Who ordered a martini? The first couple of sips specifically...

are very precarious. Just raising it to your lips can cause spillage. And I don't know if you've noticed, but alcohol is not cheap. And if you drop, you know, if just a little bit spills, it's like, dude...

That's part of my buzz right there. Has anybody thought to innovate with the martini glass? It's such a critical issue. I don't know why that glass exists. Like, what is so great about that glass? Why not serve the martinis in a Stanley Cup? Casey, the glasses have reason behind them. I don't know all the reasons why, but that's why, like, a Collins glass is tall and thin. That's why Rock's glasses are shorter and wide. That's why Cognac is served in that...

bulby thing. It has to do with the experience and the alcohol's flavor. You can do a martini on the rocks. Yeah. And if you do do that, they won't put it in that glass. They'll put it in a different glass. Okay. Do you know, not a champagne flute, Casey, but do you know another type of champagne glass that's wider on the base? A coupe. A

A coupe? Do you know what that's based on? No. The size of it? Marie Antoinette's breast. Get out. She had nice cans? Yeah. They were shaped like that. Oh, oh. What's with your knockers? As a tribute to Marie Antoinette, they designed...

the glass to replicate hers. And they thought that that was a way to honor her. I walked through that courtyard where they cut her head off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So back to olives, uh, starting now, just in time for national martini day, which actually was June 10th, uh, Philadelphia cream cheese has partnered with, uh, Divinia to unveil Philly teeny olives.

Premium Greek olives stuffed with smooth Philadelphia cream cheese. Made in New York. And this delightful innovation offers a deliciously creamy alternative for cocktail lovers who cherish the ritual of a dirty martini but aren't fans of the pungent and tangy blue cheese.

So it's available for a limited time at Divinity Up Market if you want to grab those. So that's kind of a new concoction for cocktails. All right, let's see if somebody knows what clip this is from. So, Jason, let's play that again, please. You like walnuts, don't you, big boy? I love them.

A lot of people like walnuts. They're good for the liver. Yeah, but they're bad for the brain. You're sloppy, but you're under arrest. Get him out of here, boys. We got a nice place for him to sleep, but they don't serve walnuts. All right, we will go to the phones and see if somebody knows the answer to this. I have Brian who's on hold, so I'm going to go to him. Hey, Brian, morning, man. Planning your summer vacation? Yeah. Well done. All right, do you know the answer? What movie is that from?

It's one of my favorite movies, Dick Tracy. Dick Tracy is correct, yeah. That was the Cheeto. Woo, woo, woo.

Since we got it right, we're going to give them a $50 Agme Markets gift card. And you can get your groceries in 30 minutes or less with Agme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup. So do it now. Fresh foods, local flavors. All right, we have another one to play. Let's get that one. Go for it, Jason. The 1015 event's been moved inside to the Indian Treaty Room. 1015 is American Fisheries? Yes, sir. They're giving you a 200-pound halibut.

Janie, make a note. We need to schedule more events where somebody gives me a really big fish. Yes, sir. Janie, I'm kidding. Of course. Hey, Cooper. 610-660-9333 is the number. Let's see if you know what movie that is from. And...

Order up. We'll get another food story to pass along to you. I wanted to, let's see. How about this one? After a six-year wait, Pop-Tarts is bringing back a flavor. They are bringing back their Frosted Blue Raspberry flavor.

The brand teams with Marvel's Fantastic Four for limited edition Fantastic Four boxes, and they'll be available exclusively at Walmart this month. You know what? I've determined over the years that though I started with the fruit-flavored Pop-Tarts,

I'm more the chocolate, s'mores... S'mores is my favorite. Cinnamon. That's really where it's at. Cinnamon frosted, Steve. I think the more we can get natural taste out of things, the better we'll be. Well, so I think if you want like a healthy breakfast, you can throw a couple of s'mores, Pop-Tarts in the toaster. Right. And then when they get out, on the back, you can throw a little...

If you're a Nutella guy, you have Nutella or peanut butter. I love that. And a nice tall glass of Vienna sausage juice. Yes. And you are rocking. So Pop-Tart says the Pop-Tarts at Marvel Studios Fantastic Four First Steps collaboration is a celebration of our shared 1960s origins.

As, of course, it's a movie that goes back to that time. And as a bonus, boxes of Frosted Strawberry, Frosted Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, and Frosted S'mores will also feature characters from the film. What's the comp... There is a competitor to Pop-Tart. Is there? Toaster Strudels. Toaster Strudels. That's it. Who?

makes those? Toaster strudels. Pillsbury. Okay. Is it possible that they predate the Pop-Tart? No, toaster strudels are definitely more of a... I think they came out in the early 90s. Do they still make them? Yeah, I think so. Do you know they were originally invented as an ED solution, erectile dysfunction, and ended up being a delicious breakfast pastry. They're like, wow, this is yummier than we... This is actually very...

Thought it was going to be. And I've had a boner for a year. I'm sorry, Case. They were introduced in 1985. And then the brand is historically notable for being stored frozen due to innovations in 1980s food manufacturing processes. There you go. That's right. That was a freezer food. Yep.

Yeah, which is not nearly as convenient as a Pop-Tart. And they don't give you enough icing. They need to put more icing in those pouches. Who do I talk to? Who do I talk to? I need to talk to the icing council. Or CEO-er. Put them on the phone. Pillsbury used to make this thing my family made all the time, and they were these blueberry...

of sorts. And essentially, it was almost like the dough that you get in the crescent rolls. They were triangle-shaped. And it came with a packet of blueberry filling. I remember. And so you would put the blueberry filling, then you would fold it over, and then you would heat that up in the oven. When it was done, then they had icing as well, and you would do this little icing topping on it. And they were my...

absolute favorite. Do you guys remember those? Because I used to love those as well because I do dig blueberry. They don't exist anymore? No, you can't. Who do I talk to about getting this back? Who do I talk to? Put them on the phone. Cannot find them anymore. All right, let's see if somebody knows the clip. Let's play it again, Jason.

The 1015 event's been moved inside to the Indian Treaty Room. 1015 is American fisheries? Yes, sir. They're giving you a 200-pound halibut. Janie, make a note. We need to schedule more events where somebody gives me a really big fish. Yes, sir. Janie, I'm kidding. Of course, sir. Hey, Cooper. All right, let's see if we can get a winner. We're going to go to Julia on the phone. Hi, Julia. Good morning. Hi, Julia. Hi, Julia.

Is your name Julia? Hold on, I know what I did. I did something wrong here. Let's try this again. Now you're on, Julia. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to see you. Julia, what movie is that? Is it The American President? One of my favorite movies, yes. That's an Aaron Sorkin movie. Woo! Woo!

Hang on a second, because we're going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. And if you're hungry in a hurry, you've got to check out Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup. All right, let's do one more clip, one more story, then we will wrap up the connoisseur segment. All right, Jason, go ahead. When I was young and crazy, I thought about running away and learning how to make tofu. So why didn't you? Oh, because it was a stupid dream. Can you imagine me making tofu? Ha ha ha!

No. All right. 610-660-9333 is the number. Let's see if you know what that's from. All right. One last order up. All right. We haven't talked about pizza yet.

A study from the University of East Anglia in England finds that the smell of freshly baked pizza can significantly ease stress and boost your mood. So the comfort food can actually help you calm down even without eating it at any, just the smell alone. Simply the smell. I would actually concur with this because we have a wonderful...

pizza place about a mile from my house, Evo's. I'm in Mount Airy. And they make fantastic pizza. And there is a soothing, comforting, olfactory thing that takes place. The same could be said for cinnamon rolls or anything that you love to eat. So there's a pizza sauce company near us called Don Pepino. I love it. They have a pizza sauce and they have a spaghetti sauce. And apparently it's somewhere in New Jersey. And when they're cooking it up,

Like the whole town just smells good. It smells good, right? And it makes you feel, well, as indicated by the term comfort food, it gives you comfort. That's exactly it. So according to the research, 42% of participants reported that the aroma made them feel comforted.

And more than a quarter felt a noticeable mood boost when they would smell it. Would that be a way, like for crowd control? Ooh. Right? People are starting to get a little unruly. Like the L.A. set situation now, if you just pump out some pizza smells. Maybe. Calm everyone down. Yeah.

17% had an excited sense of anticipation just from smelling pizza. I'm popping a 10 right now. I will say, though, let's say I'm outside and I come in and something is being cooked in the kitchen. The thing that I think smells the best...

Peppers and onions being cooked. Wow. Yeah, when you walk into a house and peppers and onions are being cooked, it just smells so good. For me, it was in the morning on the weekend. If my mom was cooking bacon and I woke up to that smell, it is one of absolutely the most delightful memories that I have just because...

Bacon smells good. That's great. When I was a kid and I would visit my grandmother and grandfather down in Flagler Beach, just that grandmother, my grandfather would be dissolving bodies with lye. And I would smell that and it was like, oh, grandpa, I miss that guy. Yeah. Did you ever smell that anymore? No, because he died before they caught him. Oh, man. Hey, Preston, do you remember a product, I don't think it exists anymore, called Sizzleene?

Yes, sure. Sizzling. My buddy Jeff. Full bacon. It was like fake bacon, but it was real bacon, I guess. But they were a sizzling family. It was fake bacon made from real bacon. I mean, it's meat. What Pringles are to potato chips, that was what sizzling was to bacon. Why don't they just call it faking?

Oh, I like that. Well, because they have fake bacon and faking bits. Yeah. They have faking bits? They have faking bits. Oh, that's a good name. I like garlic and onions. Have you tried garlic and onions? No, that smell. Like a garlicky dish. Yeah. That, to me, smells like Italian cooking. Yeah. That makes me super happy.

All right, so the researchers explain the reaction is a result of the limbic system, the part of the brain that deals with emotions and memories being activated, and the fact that it releases feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine doesn't hurt either. So when you need to de-stress, you could just take a little sniff of pizza, and that might make you feel better. Why aren't there little...

things that replicate that smell if it has such a... Because you can't really... ...molifying effect. You can't replicate those smells. It's like flavors. When you're tasting something that's watermelon or strawberry flavored, it doesn't actually... It's not the same. It's not the same. Yeah, you're right.

All right, well, let's see if somebody knows what this clip is from. Let's play it again, Jason. When I was young and crazy, I thought about running away and learning how to make tofu. So why did you? Oh, because it was a stupid dream. Can you imagine me making tofu? Tofu. No. All right, let's go to the phones. We are going to check in with Steve and see if he happens to know. Hey, Steve, good morning. Good morning.

What's up, guys? You guys rock. Love you, brother. Rock and roll. Name that movie, sir. That would be Kung Fu Panda. You are correct. Woo-hoo!

Absolutely correct. All right, hang on. We got you a $50 Acme Market gift card. Hungry in a hurry. Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery. You pick up, we get you fresh groceries 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods and local flavors. And that's all we have time for. You did it. You did a remote connoisseur. In the connoisseur. And I want to thank Marissa Magnata for getting all those clips together. And they all had to do with the Red Cross's Iron Rich Food Pyramid, of which...

People should keep in mind if you're going to come and donate to eat some iron-rich foods just to make sure that you don't have low iron. Oh, and by the way, they don't prick your finger anymore when they're checking for the iron. We need to scream this from the mountaintops. We were screaming it yesterday when we gave blood. We had our cots were right next to each other as we were donating, and we were like, can you believe this? It's a little cuff they put on your thumb, and it just squeezes, and that's it, man. It's

Awesome. So, all right, we need to take a break. We've got more to come. We need our world record attempt at the Munchkin Toss. Oh, yeah. And Fit Dad CEO is stopping in. We're going to have him and Casey do a little thingy thing. So Dave will be here in just a moment. We've had him on the program before. He's great. And you stick around. And, hey, guys, make some noise. You're here at the Blood Drive. We'll be right back. Stay with us. This weekend, 93.3 WMMR rocks your dad. Hey!

My daddy told me I'll always be strong, son. My father.

But not just your dad. Your husband, your baby daddy, your brother, stepdad, grandpa, pop pop, and even your opah. We're rocking tunes for dads that rock all weekend. Feel free to call our weekend warriors if you've got a request for a dad in your life. And by request,

We mean a song, not that he quits snoring. It's an MMR Rocks Your Dad weekend. Our salute to all the dads that rock.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. We have a guest who is joining us. You've become friends with him over the past few months. Yeah. And we have a little thing that we're going to do with him in just a moment. Unfortunately, it only took him like 20 minutes to get here. Let us close by. Please welcome the Fit Dad CEO, Dave Ogleton. Hey!

What's up, Dave? What's going on? Nice to see you, man. Yeah, you too, guys. Hey, we were just off-air talking about some cool things that you have coming up. Can you tease any of that, or do you need to wait on that? I can tease it. Okay. So I know you just kind of said we have something coming up. I have...

a new format long form format coming up that i'm going to be doing on youtube uh and i'll be making some short form content with it that's going to be similar to what we're going to be doing okay are we talking like a like a like a sitcom length uh format no i still wanted to keep it short like five ten minutes all right than that um but it's going to be sort of a think hot ones meets dad joke oh yeah i like and steve he's got some interesting names that are going to be joining i was like you got

them? He's like, yeah, man. It's really cool. The thing that puts you, I think, a cut above so many of the others is that you are seeing the long game and you're knowing how you have to evolve. We talked about this just recently. You were very informative about how things are changing rapidly because of the glut of people that are coming to the dance, but you keep...

a step ahead and that's great. I'm trying. Yeah. Not only that, I mean, you're always thinking in the moment, right? So I was with you on Wednesday afternoon. We played in the flag, the energy flag football game. Mm-hmm.

I never brought my camera out once. I didn't take one picture. I didn't take one video or anything like that. And then you're there creating content. And I'm like, I don't even... That's how they have to think. I don't think like that anymore. And the game is over. I was like, I'm leaving. We lost. And you're like, I'm staying. I'm going to be a fan. Truth be told, honestly, yesterday I was just talking to my wife and I was saying, I'm the worst content creator on the planet because I actually didn't take any...

pictures. Really? Yeah. E-Rock had to make me take pictures because I was so focused on the game. So, yeah, I definitely got more from the photographers than I probably took myself. I really appreciated that about you after the game the other day. You weren't in the championship game. You lost.

And you were still there. You were like super dialed in. You can hear me screaming in almost every video, every play. By the way, for those who don't know, who are not familiar with Fit Dad CEO, he's got 1.7 million followers on Instagram, 1.3 million on TikTok. Do you already have exposure on YouTube as well? I have some on YouTube, not as much. Okay.

under 20,000 subscribers. So YouTube is sort of of the group. They're the content creators and people who are doing anything across all the platforms. That's the one that comes up as the toughest nut to crack. It's been the toughest. Okay. And is it because the algorithm is so wonky? So I've spoken to people from YouTube and they just say that you have to really curate

your content on there and give them something to push out to people. That's kind of the same over and over. Who were we just talking to recently? They were talking about just adjusting curses. Just by adjusting curse level, the content skyrocketed. So all those things have to be taken into consideration. What about offering a five-hour live stream every morning on the Preston and Steve account? Maybe that's a good one.

I'm just throwing it out there. Okay, bye. Great idea. Speaking of that, Marissa, Dave, you've been surfacing in our chat. And chat is another way to build an audience. And so you show up in a YouTube chat, which is this awesome community of Preston and Steve listeners. And it's a lot of fun. You'll drop some dad jokes from time to time. Every once in a while. But it's an interesting way to become friendly with people that you don't necessarily know. And then for them to subscribe to your content. I mean, I love doing stuff like that. And it's funny because people are...

they see the number of followers you have and they automatically assume you're like this celebrity that never wants to interact. And I'm like, I want to interact with everybody. So I'm like, I don't care about any of that stuff. I was like, if I see you on the street and you're like, hey, I know that you... I'm like, I'll talk to you. I don't care. And we talked about the fact that you can have...

a ton of followers. And again, it's been such a weird couple of weeks. We've all been going through a lot of stuff. But I forget who we're talking to. But I said, do you feel those numbers? And the response was, no, not really. Oh, it was that comedian that we had in it. Was it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Corey B? Corey B, yes. Several million followers, yeah. Yeah, asked him crazy amounts. He goes, it doesn't...

It doesn't manifest into, say, like, Brad Pitt showing up at a place. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's true. By the way, here's a text came in talking about Dave. It says, he comments on every Philly sports page on Instagram, and I love this guy. You're a big sports guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's one of my probably biggest challenges is if I see something, I'll comment on it, which is not always the best thing in the entire world. Well, the great thing is that sports is not an incendiary environment to be in. No, not at all. Not even remotely, especially when it comes to Philly sports. Yeah, no, everyone's very complacent. Yeah, absolutely. Would you consider, do you think you have a catchphrase? And if you do, what would you say it was? Get her done.

It's definitely no dummy. No dummy. I love it. And by the way, I'm going to change my Instagram handle to Fat Dad CEO. But you're no longer fat. That's a great idea. By the way, speaking of posting stuff and maybe...

on there when you probably, when tensions are high, when emotions are high or whatever. Have you ever had to apologize for something that you've posted? Yeah? All the time. No kidding. Well, not, I wouldn't say that I've posted. It's usually I will jump and post something on my stories about something that's going on in the world without actually doing the research. And my biggest pet peeve is people who aren't

able to apologize or say that they're wrong. And it's something I've had to deal with too. And it's tough being in the spotlight and then having to say, oh, I was wrong about that. One of the biggest steps in your evolutionary arc as a human being will be to know when you're wrong and admit it. But also, you're talking about liabilities now about this. And there was the reporter, Terry Moran, I think it was, from ABC, clearly got in late on a night

and was lit up a little bit and posted high-profile reporter for ABC, and then it came around to getting him fired. So it can be a minefield. So there is a lot to be said for write it, look at it, erase it. If you want the thrill of just writing it down or that visceral, I'm going to respond. You look at it, you did your thing, and then erase it because once that –

is out there you can't get it back and it's weird because like I will post something and then I'll be like you know what no I'm going to take that down I'm like I don't need to say that yes and it's already too late someone screenshot of it or whatever it's crazy like people literally follow you just to screenshot yes that's the only reason

That's crazy. All right, well, listen, there's something that we wanted to try out with you since you were coming by this morning. And it's not exactly what you're going to be doing on your long-form videos, but obviously you are well-known at being incredibly well-versed in dad jokes. It's part of what you do. Casey is a fan of dad jokes.

And has a smaller repertoire. Yeah, an aspiring dad jokester, if you will. Yeah. My problem is the better the dad joke, the harder it is for me to actually say the punchline without laughing. Yes. That's a problem that, Dave, you don't have. You're actually very surgical about it. No, me and Casey were talking about this. And it's the best videos that I do.

You can always tell when they go viral because I've had to record it ten times because I'm laughing at the punchline. Okay. Right, right. And then I had to re-record it over and over. Okay. It's not necessarily the laughing at the punchline. The reason why I do not do set-up punchline jokes is...

is just because I don't, and listen, I speak for a living. I deliver information on a microphone for a living, and I've been doing it for a long time. But when it comes to the setup punchline, I can't do it. I mess it up every time. I'll mess up a couple words, and then the flow stops, and then it's forget it. So I don't even try it. That is honestly one of the toughest parts, too, is because I'll do the video, and I'll take the simplest dad joke where you have to have an inflection on a certain part of the punchline. Yes. Yeah.

And it annoys the crap out of me when I get it wrong. And I'm like, what am I doing? I'll be talking to myself as I'm recording. I'm like, what am I doing? What's happening here? And I'm like, why can't I get this? I would say, so for my years of doing stand-up, people would come to me with classic...

set up punchline jokes and I'm like that's that I don't like that's not the realm I operate in because if you do it's it to me it's always very predictable but the charm of the dad joke is the predictability right yeah here's here's I'll give you an example of me messing up a joke and this is not necessarily punchline set up but if somebody says this it used to be back in the day when you had a lot of smokers and people were lighting cigarettes with matches and they would say you got a match and

And the line is, yeah, your face and my ass. You know what I would say. My face and your ass. And that is the typical... My face looks like your ass. My face and your ass. In your ass that looks like my face. Listen, my buddy George in college, he would make fun... Because I couldn't even...

leave an outgoing voicemail message. I'd be like, hey, this is Casey. I'm not going to be able to make it to the phone. Hang on. You turn into Tommy. It's got to be your bull. And I'll default to movie lines because at least I sort of know those, but the punchline delivery? Terrible lines. Just wait. I am pre-apologizing for what I'm about to do in this thing. You're going to be fine. In fact, the worse in this case, the better. Well,

let's try this out. You want to try it? Okay. Oh, by the way, what? Something like this in the, in the background, like play something. Sure. Absolutely. Whatever you want. And I'll, I'll control the volume over here. Okay. So, uh, Oh, we're doing serious. All right. Uh, Casey and Dave are going to head over to a table that we have set up in front of us here, and we are going to have them square off in a dad joke off. And the object is for someone to break and laugh. Uh,

And you want to try to keep from laughing as we're delivering the jokes. So they are going to be nose to nose, face to face, delivering these dad jokes to see if they could crack the other one up or not. There used to be a show, a game show years ago called Make Me Laugh. You remember that, Preston? I loved it. Yeah. Yeah.

And so, yeah, the object would be to try not to laugh when a comedian was delivering jokes to you. So we're going to do something similar. Casey, is your microphone working? Yes, it is. All right. And Dave, can we hear you? All right. Excellent. So one at a time, you'll deliver a dad joke, looking each other in the eye and see if you can crack the other one up. So who would like to begin? You want to rock, paper, scissors for it?

No, you can go first. All right, let's... Man, I had a really good one for that. You had a joke? I had a joke for it. Oh, well, let's do it. No, no, no. It's not this. Okay. All right. All right. All right, Casey goes first. Here we go. All right, just... I saved all of these jokes in a database. That was the joke. That was the joke. Strong. Okay. You led with that? All right. Yeah.

Believe me, that was just an appetizer. Don't you worry. Bring Dave's mic up just a little bit. Nick's out already. Okay. All right. Dave's turn. All right. Am I good? Yeah. Okay. So I have the heart of a lion and the eyes of an eagle, and now a lifetime ban to the San Diego Zoo. Casey. Father's Day is this Sunday, and you know what the best Father's Day present is? Broken drums, man. Can't beat them.

That was good. Nobody's flight should appreciate that. Okay, all right. Dave's next. Speaking of Father's Day, why did the dad bring a ladder to the barbecue? Because he heard the stakes were high. Gotcha!

Somebody like that. Yeah, somebody like that. Hey, Dave, do you know why dinosaurs... See, this is what I'm talking about. Take two. By the way, we have a split screen on YouTube right now showing close-ups of everybody. Here we go. Do you know why dinosaurs can't clap their hands? Because they're extinct. What?

You got him! You got him! Yes! Casey is doing his victory lap. That caught Dave. 1-0 Casey. Dave's turn. I forgot we were playing a game. What do you call a wreath made out of $100 bills? A wreath of Franklin. That's pretty good. I actually knew that one. That's the only reason I didn't laugh. I wrote that down. I got a new pen that actually can write underwater.

It can write all the other words, too. I like that one. That was a good one. Okay, still one nothing case. Here we go. What's the leading cause of dry skin? Towels. That's freaking great. No laugh. You know, I just built an ATM that only gives out coins. I can't believe nobody has thought of this before. It just makes sense.

Eh? Eh? Okay. We're looking at the crowd for their reaction as well. I'm going to have to look at my phone for this one. God, it's stoic. The Lee family has really been stressing me out lately. Maybe you've heard of them. Emotionally, mentally, physically, and financially. Oh, and they're unattractive twin brothers. Ugg and Ho. What do you call a French man wearing sandals? Philippe Fallop. Ha ha ha!

That's true. Is it true? Yeah, it did crack. Dave giggled a little. This is a dad joke off from Dave Ogleton, a Fit Dad CEO. I've never actually heard of that one. No? Oh, man. I'll give you a good website. Okay. I stored them in my database. Yeah. Back again. See if it works. Good recall. Did you know if you lose your khakis in Texas, it means you can't find your pants? Yes.

But if you lose your khakis in Boston, it means you can't start your car. That's a thinker. Mm-hmm. Khakis. Khakis. Oh. Hey, listen. You and I were married, but this is a lesson to anybody out there. Never date a tennis player. Love means nothing to them. That was a good one. That was a good one. You know, I've always wondered why Marvel doesn't use Hulk to advertise their movies more. He's basically a giant banner.

That's good. Big smile from Case, but no laugh. No laugh. Hey, you know who won the neck decorating contest? Nobody. It was a tie. You mentioned tennis before. My wife actually said she's leaving me for 14 reasons, and it's because of my obsession with tennis. I said, that's 15, love. That's two tennis jokes. Yeah. Let's make that three. Okay. I had a quiet game of tennis today.

There was no racket. That was three. That definitely was three, right? Yeah. I mentioned my wife before. I was actually devastated yesterday. My wife told me my six-year-old son wasn't actually mine. She then said I need to pay more attention at school pickup. You know dogs can't operate MRI machines, but cats can. Wow. That's good stuff. I like that one. That's good stuff. Cool.

I was excited for today. I actually had a dream last night that I was a muffler. I woke up so exhausted. Yeah, no. You know why the produce manager couldn't make it to work? I mean, he could drive, but he didn't avocado. Oh, wow. Dude. Wow. That one almost got me. That one almost got me. Yeah. Did you hear about the kidnapping at school today? Oh, it's okay. He woke up.

Dude, I had that. And I thought it was so dark. You had that? I had it. It was so dark. I kept that one in a whole sink. Wait, in fact, I want to see. I...

I know. I just want to... I was like, oh, man, I can't do a kidnapping joke. He did it. He did it great. Yeah. Gabe stuck the landing on that one. How many more do we have? Dude, I have a million. No. Okay. We can just cut it off whenever you want. So you want to do three more? We can do three more. All right. Three each. So I've lost a lot of weight lately, and I was going to do an all-peanut diet, but that's just nuts.

It's a bit of a smile. Thumbs up and thumbs down from the audience, by the way. It's a hard group. And they just gave blood, so they're delirious. Some of the audience will get this one. It depends on your age. Siri kept calling me Shirley all day yesterday, and I was getting so annoyed. I finally realized I left my phone in airplane mode. I like that one. When you can't see it coming, man, I love it. You know, I'm sorry and I apologize usually mean the same thing.

But not at a funeral. What do you call a laughing motorcycle? A Yamaha. Got him! Got him! Hey, did you know they're making corduroy pillows? It's making all the headlines.

Thank God, Dave. That's good. That's 3-1 Casey. I know. We got one more joke from Dave. One more. Somebody really should market a beer called Occasionally. So when I ask, I can say, I only drink Occasionally. Bada-bang. They really should do that. All right. There it is. The dad joke off. Thank you, guys. Casey, you beat the master. Yeah.

I think he just gave it to me. Also, the other thing that really helped me in this contest is my inability to pay attention because I was too worried about my joke coming up. Oh. That you weren't paying attention to me. You probably didn't even hear a word I said. That's really it. Congratulations, Dave, on all your success. Appreciate it. Appreciate you. So when you're scouring both, Casey just did that and Dave for you,

I mean, how much time do you have to invest in scouring the internet and just absorbing jokes from people? I mean...

Some of them are jokes that I've used before. Some of them are ones that I'm also writing a book. I think I've told you guys when I think I spoke to you on the show the last time. And so I have a lot of dad jokes that are just sitting in my brain. And I'm waiting to use them. So this is a perfect opportunity. You know, one of the funniest things I ever saw is years ago at a bookstore, Jackie Martling was doing an appearance. And he would write these joke books.

And he grabbed up like 20 joke books from the bookstore, sat down, and started just copying for his new joke book. Because these are time-tested jokes. And they're around for a reason. Yeah. I think the best part about what I...

I like to do with my content is I love taking the old jokes and coming up with new punchlines. Right, right, right. So, you know. It's great. By the way, my best friend Steve texted me and he wanted me to mention this when he says, what's the difference between three penises and a joke? Your mom can't take a joke. Yeah.

So there you go. And you thought my kidnapping joke was dark. Yeah, it was dark. Come on. Yeah. All right. I saw that. I was like, oh. And even the Philippe Flapp one, I was like, I don't know. Is that racist if I talk about a French man? Like, I mean, you don't want to offend people, you know, especially with a dad joke. I loved them. I thought they were great. So thank you. Dave, what's next in store for you? When can we see the long form videos? When are they going to pop up? I'm hoping to get them done in July. I'll be batching together a bunch of episodes. Okay. And, uh,

hopefully going live end of July or August. Let us know when that's coming up. We'll help get the word out. Not that you need much help, but we will help you. Anything helps. Appreciate it. Let's hear it for Dave Ogleton, guys. Fit Dad CEO. There's one more thing we need to do. It's become a tradition here at the Blood Drive, and we are going to try to set a new world record for the Munchkin Toss and Catch. I have an idea. I

I'm looking at this group of people, this audience that we have out here, Steve, and I'm thinking almost like an Evel Knievel type of thing where we do the toss over these people and clear them and try to stick the landing. It's funny you mention that because Casey and I were discussing this earlier. That's exactly the arc we were talking about. Perfect. So from where the water table is there to close to the American Red Cross table over there, which is a...

Substantial distance. Yes. But it would clear the audience. And I realize that this is radio, folks. It's what we do for a living. And I know I'll do my best to describe what we're happening. But Stephen pointed out that last year we went way too long when we tried to do this. So we're going to put a five-minute time limit. Okay.

On trying to achieve this case. We got remote mics and everything. Oh, we're actually going to measure it out. Okay. Yeah. Marissa, what I'm thinking is we want to do it over all these people. I think it's like an Evel Knievel type of thing when he would jump over the Caesars Palace building

fountains and so on. So do me a favor, Eric, go all the way to the other side so we clear all these people and let's get an idea of how far that is. Casey, you got your mic over there?

No, you don't. You have your headphones, but you don't have your microphone. So let's take that. All right. And then we're going to have Steve. Where are you going to be? I'm going to get over by the American Red Cross table. Do I have a pack here? Yep. We're going to set you up with a headphone pack and a wireless microphone, and we are going to try to break the world record. We've managed to break...

stretch the distance each time that we've done this. Casey, can you go over to Eric Simon and see how far he and Marissa are standing apart right now? They are literally 51 feet exactly. 51 feet. That's a long ways. Can you hear me, Preston? Yeah, Steve, I can hear you. We're good to go. So you get in the receiving location.

Casey is going to be the tosser. I have a bad shoulder. I just, I see it, Case. I'm not in any shape anymore to do this. No, but you know what? You can hit the ball a ton, so. Yeah, but. And I can't. That's all good. I've got a caution. You know what? I'm going to get my glasses because I need, this is a small, if you could, it's on the table there. Yeah, you don't want to take one in the eye. Small projectile. Yep. A

Mostly more present so I can see the munchkin traveling at the velocity that the human cannon is going to send it my way. So where Steve is standing looks even further away than where Marissa was. So I think we're over 51 feet. In fact, Steve is like 57 feet probably. And Steve, I want you to go to your right a little bit as I eat a munchkin.

because these lights are here, and I don't want to blind you. So if you come over here, there's no light in our line of sight here. So I'm going to caution these people right here. In line. Do you want to do just a throw? I'm just going to donk it right now. All right. Here we go. Attempt number one. Everybody in this line, just be careful. I should be good. I should be right on the money right away. I'm going to put five minutes on the clock. Give me a second here, President. Steve, do some mouth-ups.

Get your, yep, there you go, perfectly. And when you are ready, we can make our first attempt. But this is, it's looking like at least 55 feet. So when you're ready, Casey, here's attempt number one. Attempt number one. Here you go, Steve. Here's the toss. It's up in the air. It's long. Oh, he went over. A little deep, a little deep. I'm going to put a little more arc on it. Oh, yeah, yeah. All right, here we go. Attempt number two. All right, this is number two. Looks like a good throw. That one was short. All right, okay, okay. Lucky chocolate. Poor dude here.

All right. Poor dude. He just got a free munchkin. Here's number three. Casey is up. It's across. It's way short. Way short. Way short. Yep. All right. More your first one. Yep. All right. Here comes attempt number four. It looks good. It hits Steve on the head. All right. Hey, we're in the ballpark. I shaved my hair just for this. All right. We're not even a minute in. All right. Here's the next one. Oh, shoot. That's a bad throw. Oh! Oh!

Dude almost got it. It stuck to my fingers. By the way, if an audience member gets one in their mouth, it's still a record. Also, excellent coverage on the YouTube channel. So if you want to watch us at home, press and see WMMR. Thank you to our friends at Newman for supplying the video. All right, Case is removing his glasses. He's getting serious now. All right, here we go. Here we go.

It's high. Oh, that's good. Oh, shoot. Too long. I'm going to stay back. I think you've got enough to get it out here. Yep. All right. We're close to 60 feet now. All right. All right. It's up. Long. And that one came up just a little bit short. I'm so disappointed in myself. Come on, man. Tried to hit him in the head.

That went just a little short. I look like an eager hooker. Stevens' mouth open, waddling forward. All right, here's another toss. It's up. It's up. It looks good. Still coming in just a tad short. A minute and 40 seconds. Just a little bit more. All right, there it is. Oh, just over his head. We're having trouble with accuracy today. Yeah, we are. That's normally not the case. All right, here we go. Man.

These ones are like the ones at the bottom. They're stickier. Okay. They're sticking to my fingers. That's my excuse. Do you need a towel or anything? No. What if I just lick my fingers? All right. Here we go. It's up. Oh, my God. It's short. You know what? I think the grip is... All right. You know, lean on the cake ear munchkins. Yeah. All right.

I'm going to eat all the glazed ones myself. Okay. Because they don't travel as well. That's right. Agreed. Smart. They're lighter, too. All right. Here's a good one. Oh! Okay. We were close. Right in the nose. I got the grip down. Okay. Very good. All right.

Oh, maybe. No. That hit the ceiling. Did it? Okay. Two and a half minutes in. We're halfway there. We got to make this. Here's the next one. It's up. You're still that one. The arc is a little high, Case. Yep. Think distance. All right. This one looks good. Oh! I did a Pele move on that. Right in the forehead. Come on, man. All right. Here we go, buddy. By the way, that hurts. Here's the next one. Oh! Got him in the chest. Come on. We're getting closer. Come on, Case.

Oh, you're all over so goddamn close. Where did that hit you? Oh, wait. There's another one. Oh, shit. Keep it going. Keep it going. All right. Now we're in rapid fire mode. Here's another one. Nope. Came up short. Come on. Getting the rhythm. Here it comes. That one's short, too. Oh, man. We're over three minutes in. A little high on that one. Dude, this is pissing me off. I'm going to fly over the table. That one came up short. Oh, man. Everybody boo me, please. Oh, man.

Watch him catch this one. Oh, man. Come on, come on. A little bit more of an arc. Nick! Watch this on YouTube. He threw it to Nick. It only went 50 yards past him. All right. Oh, my God. Arcing too low. A little bit more. All right. This is the one. Wow. Out of the lights. This way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. All right. Case. Dude, I know. I know. Listen, we're getting towards the end here. The dream is evaporating. Should I come try it?

Come on. Hey, hey. All right. Up, up, up, up, up, up. Oh, it hit him in the shoulder. Goddamn. That hurts, by the way. Four minutes and 12 seconds. That one's short. All right. I'm going to come in closer. Let's try this. Okay. He's moving in closer, Case. It's going to be harder. Now we're down to the glazed ones that don't travel as well. All right. Oh, jeez. Told you. What the hell is that? I don't know. I'm telling you, they don't travel as well. All right. All right.

Why'd you catch that with your hand? Am I going to rape this guy while I'm trying to catch a munchkin? It's Tom, dude. I would love that. Here we go. That's the one. That's on me. That was a good throw. I have 10 seconds left on our timer. Oh, no. Try again. You know what? I think I want to try it. I'm just dying a slow death. I'm dying over here.

It's a tough one, man. You know, world records don't happen easily. Otherwise, everyone would be doing them. Yeah, I have no idea if I have the arm strength or not, but damn it, I'm going to try this. I kid you not, it actually hurts to get hit by a munchkin at this distance. Ready, Steve? Yeah. Here we go. All right. Okay, I'm way off. All right, Preston, you should come back over here. All right, no, no, no, no. I had to get the feel for it. I had to realize. This one's in. Here we go. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. Hang on. Hang on. There you go.

Oh! All right, I got it now. Is it coming up short? It's way short. All right, how about this? Oh! Right on the forehead. Here's two of them. Take your pick. Son of a bitch. Hey, Steve. This is harder than I... One of these has got to get it. I just threw five of them. He's doing a buckshot method. All right, now I threw my shoulder out. I'm bad. It's bad. Well, we came up short this year. Oh, man, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. That's all right. That's all right.

I tried. They're giving a subtle round of applause for being kind here today. But we did make the attempt. It's become tradition. Listen, there were a couple times close enough where it's on me.

But it does hurt getting hit by a munchkin at that distance. In years past, we've had like a bunch that came really close. Really close. Well, there was about three or four that hit my chin and actually hit my upper lip. And that's like getting smacked in the face. Well, thank you to Duncan for supplying our ammunition for this particular contest. So do we have to retire this? Do we now have to do something rectally? What I think we need to do...

and honestly, we'll do it next year, is a quick warm-up beforehand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I think you guys will kill it. Like a bullpen. I know you guys can do it. I know you guys can do it. So sorry about that, guys. A little disappointing. And also to the guy carrying the trash can, my bad. Oh, sorry, bud. My bad. My bad about that. All right, well, listen, we do need to take a break. So we're going to do that. We're going to come back. We're going to get into the Bizarre File. You guys having a good time today? I mean, we're donating blood.

Now... Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme Markets. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve Show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve Show. Back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much. Let's hear it for Marissa for doing that. Yes! Yay!

By the way, Preston, we are in the hole B, correct? C. Is it C? It is B. It's B. No, no, no. No, it's C. It's C.

It says B. There's a door that goes to B to the left side. The door on the right side goes to C. We're in C. Okay, because some people are asking us on the website it says for the Expo Center it says C. You know what? That's where we are. B and C are right next to each other. Yep. As they are in the alphabet. We are in C. You'll find it. This place is big, but you will definitely find it. So if you're coming by here, stop on in, take a look, and if you would like to walk up

They do have some avails, which is wonderful. And that starts shortly at 11 a.m. If you've got the time to come by here, see if they can squeeze you in and maybe it's a last minute thing. Yeah, I happen to be in the King of Prussia area or wherever it may be. Stop on by, make a donation, say hello to everybody. And to that point, a lot of people out here telling me that they've been processed through quicker than ever. And a lot of people are veterans of the blood drive, right? Yep.

So they're doing a great job. So to that point, Preston, if you do have a little bit of time and you can head on over, you'll come in, get taken care of, and donate blood, do a good thing, and be on your way. Yep, and we got some goodies for you to get, including the new T-shirt, which, by the way, Christy's here who designed the shirt. I saw her bopping around. I also ran into a woman who came here today from Texas to donate. Yeah.

Which is really, yeah, she's right there. Lone Star State. She's in town for a graduation and decided, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to come by and I'm going to donate blood. That's awesome. Was she dragged here by somebody who listens to the show? No, she's a listener of the show. She's a Delco gal. Oh, there we go. Nice. But she's in Texas now, so I thought that was pretty awesome. Excellent. All right, well, we have some bizarre foul stories to get to, so let's do that thing right now.

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

Brought to you by Sequoia Outback. A little bit of a break back. Let's try that again. Brought to you by Sequoia Outback. Celebrate freedom from your aging deck and get serious savings during Sequoia's 4th of July sale. We're at 309 in Hatfield and online at decksupplies.com. So I saw this this morning. A quirky Chinese trend shows seniors looping a U-shaped belt under their chins.

clipping it to playground bars and gently swinging to cure insomnia and neck pain. There's like a whole bunch of people swinging by their heads. They're hanging themselves. I'm going to check out for a second so I can see exactly what you're talking about. The idea came from 57-year-old Sun Rongchun of Shenyang who said that it's eased his cervical...

Spinalosis or something along those lines. Spinalothesis. What's that? Spinalothesis. No, it's spondylosis. Anyhow. They got rid of him by paralyzing him from below the neck. Yes, Del. Wow, I don't feel a thing. That annoying pain is gone because I'm a quadriplegic.

He has now filed a patent and hosting group swing sessions. The one thing I did not see when I saw this story pop up, Preston, is what medical experts say about it. Yeah, videos of the routine have spread across Chinese social media, but sleep specialist calls it a physics experiment on your spinal cord. They warn that the belt can pinch nerves, cut blood flow to the brain, fracture vertebrae, or even choke users. I don't even know how to Google this. So far, I've gotten keychains.

And so I wrote Chinese belt loop hang. What are the words that I use to find this on the internet? I'm so terrible at this. So anyhow, at least one death has been linked to the misplaced strap. Doctors urge people with sleep trouble to seek proven treatments and skip risky online fads. Are you suggesting that

hanging by your neck is possibly a lethal thing to do? I am suggesting that. Case, I'm going to give you this story and I'll give you some search parameters there. Obviously, it's a bad day when someone attacks somebody with a machete, but it's made a little bit better when the attacker actually takes them to the hospital. A county sheriff's deputy in Florida was hailed down by a woman who said that her brother had been assaulted by a man with a machete who then reportedly took the victim to get

medical attention. You're the best insane maniac ever. Angel Ramos Arche had reportedly gotten into a verbal altercation with the victim and allegedly decided to settle things with the blade. Deputies went to the hospital, confirmed the argument, and allegedly found blood in the suspect's truck and the machete in the bed. Think back. When was the last time you thought to yourself, I need to settle this with the blade? He did give the victim a ride to get help, though, so maybe that will count for something. Yeah. We'll see.

A person named Rosalio Kulit, also known as Datu Kamendag. That's R2-D2's sister. He's from the Philippines. Actually lets patients pay...

to be bitten by his pet North Philippine temple pit vipers. Wow. Claiming that the venom heals heart problems, urinary infections, and more. It works better if you hang yourself by your neck. It's right next to that clinic, by the way. He adopted the practice after he says a bite cured his own illnesses, and now he also sells home-brewed venom-infused wine. He says he can also restore hair growth by kicking you in the balls. A recent viral video renewed debate...

debate over the decade-old service.

Kulitz's daughter calls the snakes safe because they're mainly neurotoxic venom, rarely rots flesh. Yeah. Yet medical experts warn the bites can trigger dangerous reactions and no study proves any benefit whatsoever. I was seeing a guy, though, there was a special guy on the Discovery Channel who was a snake handler. I mean, not the classic religious cultish type, but this is his thing and he's been bitten enough where he has built up resistance to the toxins of various snakes. That's correct.

Not the kind of thing that you want to find when you're almost done with working on a dam, but workers finishing the 350-foot Chimney Hollow Dam in northern Colorado discovered uranium in the rock fill while traced to stone quarried on site.

Northern Water first saw hints at the end last year and says the metal could leach into the new reservoir, which will serve more than a million people. Engineers are talking with the EPA about options such as treating the first fill or letting the hundreds of billions of gallons planned for the lake dilute the risk.

Construction is still slated to wrap up in about six weeks. Water pumping to start in August. Official stress health limits haven't been exceeded. Make it a water park. And they say testing will continue long after TAP's open, calling the find a hurdle, not a deal. Imagine that. Would that park still be safer than Action Park? Probably. Probably way safer than Action Park.

All right, so if you have a rifle and a spare helicopter, it's about to be hunting season in Texas starting September 1st. Texan hunters will be allowed to shoot Audad sheep from helicopters, a method previously limited to feral hogs and coyotes. Lawmakers say the North African imports...

Introduced in the 1950s, now overgraze, drought hit rangeland, bulldoze fences, crowd out native wildlife, and can spread disease to bighorn sheep. So ranchers are welcoming the move, noting that chopper services cost about $1,000 an hour, and trophy hunts already run several thousands of dollars on foot.

So they're actually going to do helicopter hunting. Have you ever seen when they go after the boar? I mean, they go after those large ones that can kill people. It's pretty wild, though. It is. You feel bad for the little guys. All right. And then one last story, and then we will wrap it up. We'll end with this one. A woman who had a meltdown at an airport in Italy has been making the waves on social media.

Wow. Yeah.

In the footage shared online, the woman was captured stomping her feet and kicking her legs as she laid on the airport's floor. The staff and other travelers... Doesn't really work when you're an adult, does it? ...were also seen looking at the scene. And local press reported that the woman's meltdown continued even after authorities tried to intervene. She was eventually taken off her flight, reportedly booked a new ticket once she had regained her composure. She later explained that someone took her blue blankie.

Back in March, a passenger also traveling from Savannah to Miami began to have a meltdown shortly after takeoff. This is a different story. The 31-year-old began displaying unruly behavior. Less than one minute after takeoff, his sister told authorities that they were trying to flee religious attacks of a spiritual nature. And so he wigged out during the flight. And there you go. That is what I have.

in the Bizarre File. I said, I'm still waiting to see one of those myself in person. When I get on a flight, I'm like, who's going to wig out? Well, you know, you keep flying it out from the eventually. Well, you almost got that in Clearwater, didn't you? Who watched somebody puke all over themselves? That was you, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Well, Rodney, I saw the guy that pooped in the bathroom. Remember that story? Well, that's where you go. That was Orlando. Well, he got some of it in the toilet. Oh, really? Wow.

Most of it he didn't. Wow. No, this guy was at the bar and he puked all over. Oh, you're talking about the airport. Yes. Yeah. Laying in his own vomit. It was lovely. It gave us something to talk about during that horrible wait we had for our flights. All right. That's what I have in the Bizarre File. That means we're going to take another break. We're going to come back in a second. We'll get to Less in Question, Trash Music News, that stuff. So stay put. We'll be back in just a moment. The Blood Drive, man. Yeah. 20th year. Stay with us.

Craving new content every day? You've come to the right place, cause we have a long-haired hippie guy with countless rock and roll stories. A late night vampire streaming live with you every night. A funny duo who make you laugh for five hours straight every morning. An epic rock and roller with all the concert news and more. MMR DJs, the original content creators.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. 93.3 WNMR. Aerosmith on the other side of the Preston and Steve Show. As we are continuing our show at the, I believe, the Preston and Steve Blood Drive. This is our 20th year doing this event, guys. 20 years. 20 years.

20 years and going strong with lots of people here this morning, stopping by lots of first timers, lots of veterans. Listener Tom from Delaware has been coming here for every single one for 20 years. Yeah, man. He's been every single one. And he was curious if anybody else has done that. And I'm curious about that, too, if people could text in or call in or let us know or if we have anybody here who's been doing it.

every single year. That's a big deal. That is a commitment. Yeah, it's wonderful. It's wonderful. But we have a lot of people who have been here for a number of them.

Which is cool to see as well. Absolutely. We have also, I think, Preston, a lot, at least I've met the most people doing double reds of any of the blood drives today. A lot of people are doing the double red. Yeah, they call it the power red now. So you can ask to get signed up for that. It doesn't take much longer. And you end up counting for two donations. They get twice as much. And it's a real easy process. So if you've got a little bit of extra time, you can request that. Power!

Yes, power bread is what they call that. Oh, and by the way, they don't prick your finger for the rhyme anymore. Everyone, by the way, we're not making this up. Everyone is loving this little thumb cuff that they put on you. And basically it does everything right. It does it without that. And everyone agrees the finger prick was the only downside whatsoever.

to the blood donation because it was a little bit more painful. The actual blood drawing was nothing. So now you've got no reason not to give it a shot. It's a lot nicer with fewer pricks. Yes, exactly. Less pricks, more fun. I will say, though...

The lady who would come by and bring us homemade dumplings. Where's she at? She's not here. Where is she? I'm surprised. Where are you, woman? I didn't see her, but you know who I did see? I saw the jerk mates girl. Yes. Really? Yeah, she's here. She does the best... Yo, ever heard of jerk mates? Is she still here? I was just talking to her. Her and her husband were done. I think they had to take off. Yo, ever heard of jerk mates? She's...

That girl's here? She's a school teacher in Reddick. But she does a spot-on jerk-made impression. Yep, she's here. So, anyway. By the way. Great to see all these familiar faces. I've never needed or would think I would benefit from having a jerk-made. Right? Yeah. I think I... It works for her.

It's really one of those solo endeavors that is... Well, I found out it's not what you think it is. What is it? It's not a buddy to... Is it a tax preparation? No, it's just a porn site. Oh, okay. That's all there is to it. And you can apparently tell the people what you want them to do. They talk you through some stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of like that. It's like tech support for Pornhub. It's a buddy. How do I do this again?

Can I take us in a very different direction for just one moment? Sure. Some nice person came up to me just a moment ago and wanted to say hi. I was finishing a text and by the time I turned around, she was gone. So whoever you are, hello. I'm so sorry I missed you. Oh, and I want to thank a listener, Rob, who came by earlier this morning and brought me a gift. I've got it wound up in here. I'm not going to open it up, but Rob used to be at work security at the electric factory. Oh, wow. And this is a

banner that I gave him in 1997 at the Bitterfest event the very last night of the live broadcast it's a WDRE banner in radio local lore that is a prize item so he is he's like cleaning out his house and stuff he's like he's like I don't want to throw this away I want to give it

to you. Yeah. Because he's like, I know you'll do something with it and I will hang this up on the wall. So thank you very much. That is very cool. Rob, that was really cool. He's like, he gave me this like 25 years ago. Like, that's so cool. And it's in pristine condition. I love that. Yeah, love it. So we always have cool stories and people that we meet here at the Blood Drive and all the live events that we do. So yeah, this is another one. Oh, and thank you. Yes, we got a cookie cake that says, good morning, it.

Good morning to see you, actually, on it. So thank you for that. By the way, I love those cookie cakes. That is my favorite. Like for birthdays and stuff. That's your birthday present. There you go. Thank you, guys. I love it. It's so sweet. Thank you. Thank you, Marissa. Did you make that yourself?

All right, so we're going to do... It's from who, Marissa? Mary. Mary. All right. We're going to do the lesson question, and we're going to give away a pair of tickets for NASCAR Cup Series Great American Gateway 400, which is coming up on the 22nd at Pocono Raceway. Nick, are you going to ask the question today? All right. What do we have? What kind of drink can you get from a can of Vienna sausages? Oh, okay. All right. 610-660-9333. What kind of a drink can you get from a can of Vienna sausages? Yes.

I remember talking about that. I don't remember the exact answer. So we'll see if we can get somebody who does. So if you know, call us 610-660-9333. While you do that, we will do the trash. Here we go. The trash business is a goldmine. 93.3 WMMR.

at thejughandlein.com. What's up, Steve? Okay, Preston. Day 22 of the Diddy trial saw ex-girlfriend known only as Jane suggesting the music mogul can't admit that he's gay. Diddy was visibly angry at this suggestion as he was seen on close-circuit camera eating his prison lunch of kielbasa and meatballs. Fuck.

Oh, my God. I'm reticent to tell this next joke, Preston, because I'm not sure this is a word we can say. Should I go for it or should I go for it? All right. Zach Brown selling his lake house in Cumming, Georgia for $3 million. Brown said he got tired of saying where it was and having people think he was ejaculating a state. Oh, my God. All right. We went for it. Oh, my God.

It can be either it made it on air or it didn't. Okay. And finally, she starred in One Life to Live for many years. You don't see this happening. And now 78-year-old Erica Slezik is joining the cast of General Hospital. The 78-year-old Slezik will reportedly be portraying contesta Andrea Peabody. So that should be great. All right. Let me take a look at the phones here and see if somebody knows the answers. Nick, can you ask that question again? Yes, sir.

I have to look it up, though. Okay. On your computer there. Yeah, on my computer, which is right in front of me. What kind of drink can you get from a can of Vienna sausages? All right, let me go to Kyle, see if he knows the answer. Hey, Kyle, good morning. Hey, good morning. Sorry to bother you guys at work. It's all right, Kyle. Do you know the answer to the question? What kind of, what can you get from Vienna sausage can? That would be Vienna sausage juice. That's right. Yes! Of course. Yes!

Hang on, bud. We're going to give you those Pocono tickets to Great American Getaway. It's the 400 Sunday, June 22nd at Pocono Raceway. And it is time to start your summer. NASCAR returns on June 20th through the 22nd at the Tricky Triangle at Pocono. For more information, you can get your tickets now and head to PoconoRaceway.com. All right, let's do music news.

Preston and Steve's Music News on 93.3 WMMR. Yeah! Yeah!

Brought to you by Rita's. Rita's making waves with fantastic new flavor. Cool aged, chuckleberry thin ice. A delicious blend of orange, strawberry, and banana. And you can hurry. It's only here for a limited time. Be cool. Eat a Rita's. I just have two stories for you. And this is pretty cool. Billy Joe Armstrong posted a long-shelled punk-flavored cover of the Beach Boys' 1964 hit, I Get Around.

And he shared it on Instagram after the news broke that Brian Wilson had passed away. And we were listening to it yesterday and it noted that Billy, his tone is very much in line with that sound. It sounded really good.

The Green Day frontman said that he recorded the track years ago, but he never felt the right moment to release it. He wrote, thank you, Brian Wilson, one of my heroes. Wilson's passing quickly sparked tributes from people like Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and a bunch of those guys. We talked about Sting doing a cover of God Only Knows and Dave Matthews did because they were performing concerts that night. Yes, that very night. Do you notice who we...

conspicuously haven't heard from. Where is Hasselhoff? Son of a bitch. Stuck-up prick. Armstrong's rough-edge version of the song keeps the sunny tune in there, but turns up the guitars, giving fans a fresh way to remember the pop genius's work. Is it Mike Love that sings that? Yes. His voice is perfect for Mike Love's music. The funny thing is, Mike Love, the amount of contention between Mike Love was always sort of the...

He's a douchebag. A douchebag. Yeah. And yet he was a showman. He's a showman. Yeah, he's well-known for having a pretty bad attitude. He's a worldly known bad guy. He's very respected in his field. Ten Bell douchebag, right? Ten Bell douchebag. All right, and then finally, fans of classic Elton John will soon have reason to rejoice. His Elton John live from the Rainbow Theater with Ray Cooper recordings, previously only available in limited edition vinyl on Record Store Day, will be getting a wider release. That was...

That concert tour was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen in my life. I saw him with Ray Cooper perform that. He had a Steinway piano and a Yamaha piano, and he had this percussionist as Ray Cooper was playing all sorts of different percussion instruments. And that concert was like three and a half hours present. It was amazing. So this will be made available alongside a vinyl repress. The CD and digital editions will include a new bonus track.

called Goodbye, but the original 12-song track listing along with additional liner notes, the story behind the live performances in May of 1977, John took the stage at London's Rainbow Theatre with percussionist legend Ray Cooper for a six-show residency, and these 13 tracks were drawn from that series of performances. That collection will come out on July 25th, and that's what I have in music news for you. Yes! Oh, stop it!

Hold your applause. You don't realize how much goes into that. Preston is on the phone all night talking to all sorts of music writers around the world. I have contacts everywhere. Hey, before we wrap, because the last segment we do will be our wrap-up, but I'm looking at Christy right now. She's the gal that designed... I'm sorry, what? Christine? Christine. Sorry, I keep messing this up. She's the one that designed this year's Preston and Steve. I bought a T-shirt. Stand up.

And that's why she has a gray one and you don't.

Because that's the OG original shirt that she's wearing. She showed us down in Florida. She's a graphic designer. We loved her design. And you can get this if you donate. The only way to get it right now is to donate here at the Blood Drive. And we do have walk-up spots available. So if that is something you're interested in, then we would like you to take advantage of that. You can stop by the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks.

And pop in, and we will get you on the list. Above all of our other shirts, the Blood Drive shirt has become the collectible, has become the one that people most covet. And this one particularly is amazing. Yeah, and Kathy's name is on there, too. Yes. Really cool. We love that. We love that. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

All right, so we'll take a break. We'll come back in a second. We should have Pierre Robert in attendance shortly. He's going to be taking over in a little while, and then after that it'll be Brent Porsche. But we're having a great time at the 20th annual I believe for President of the State Blood Drive. We'll be right back. Stay with us, please. Out of D batteries for your vintage boom box? Just tell Alexa to play WMMR at maximum volume, and you can annoy the neighbors just like the good old days.

It's everything that rocks. Was that Bush that we were playing there? That's the land of milk and honey? The land of milk and honey.

I love it, man. So we're out running around talking about people during that commercial break and during the song because we got a nice group of people here that are hanging out post donation. Yeah. Post donation. We have a really cool spot. This is a new setup this year as far as where you can hang during the whole thing is taking place. Cannot stress talking to the people. I'm sure you're getting the same reaction, Preston, this year.

The turnaround time from showing up, people getting in exactly their appointment time, an hour, less than an hour to get everything through and process through. They've really hit their stride again. And we're not, we're going to repeat this. No more finger prick. They get your blood type.

It doesn't even involve any eye. Yes. And you just draw your blood, which is actually the easier part of the whole thing. I'm telling you, man. We were saying yesterday, I'm like, you guys need to buy ads. You need to get the word out about this. Red Cross, no pricks. I think that people...

are going to be delighted at the fact. I know that I sat down. I was already mentally preparing myself yesterday. I'm like, all right, let me get my left hand ready. Which finger is it they're going to pick? And then she's like, nope, we just slipped this little cuff thing around your bum. And I'm like, get out of here. Amazing. It actually made my day. Yes. I was very happy. So a couple things we need to do. I want to thank our guests that were on the show today. We have Miss USA here. Yes. Which is really cool.

First Lieutenant Alma Cooper. The U.S. Army is celebrating its 250th birthday in Philadelphia tomorrow. I know the weather doesn't look that great, but we'll see. Maybe there's going to be some breaks, but it's on Independence Mall. It's all day long, and Alma is going to be there as well as the Golden Knights are doing a demo, and there's going to be all kinds of stuff. There's a cake that Casey was all excited about. They're going to cut a cake? With a sword.

So it was great having you. She was lovely. And we really appreciate her stopping by this morning. Thank you to the Regional Chief Executive Officer of the American Red Cross, Jennifer Graham, for being here today as well. She's running around.

And Steve, the other day when we had her on there, last time we had her on the air, apparently you called her the big cheese. And now apparently that is her nickname. Oh, really? Amongst the volunteers. I love that. They call her cheese. The big cheese. And then thank you to Fit Dad CEO Dave Ogleton. Yes. For stopping by and the dad joke off with Casey.

It was great. I loved it. And you can go check him out at Fit.Dad for his dad merch collection and mom collection, too. But, yeah, Fit.Dad or check him out on Instagram, Fit.DadCEO. So there was a bit of a disappointment with the Munchkin world record. We did not hit our mark. I have already thought of plans. Hmm.

That I think will refine it. We were going to have a head cone on me. We're going to have that next time. And then I think what I'm going to have is a dental dam ready to receive this munchkin. It'll give a bigger target for Casey. And I'm saying never say die. Next year, we set that record. Okay. All right? I agree. I mean, we tried, you know, but...

This is the first year we haven't been able to set a record. We'll set our sights on next year. Listen, Sir Edmund Hillary had to take a few cracks, right? Yep, exactly. Well, that distinctive laugh comes from one person and one person only, ladies and gentlemen, Pierre O'Baird!

Sir Edmund Hillary. Oh, my God. Yes, good day, citizens. How are you? Great crowd here today, man. Oh, my God, it's great. Yeah. Hey, I got a new pen. It can write underwater. Yeah? It can write other words, too. Woo! Woo!

I almost happened to notice the dad jokes are still out. You probably already did that one, right? He did that one, yes. I think he did them all. That was great. We loved it. Just to listen to because the guy, whoever he was, he was so deadpan and he just did it in this total deadpan presentation and Casey, you were just perfect back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Tell us one you didn't tell.

Oh, you know what? They're all right in front of you over there. Yeah, so go to that last page. Where did the pumpkin have their meeting?

Where? In the gourd dome. Gourd room. Wow, that's good. In the gourd room. I don't know what the F is. The gourd dome. All right. Gourd dome is funnier. Thank you. Hey, did you see all those pumpkins in the gourd dome? All right. How about if your house is cold, just stand in the corner. It's always 90 degrees there. Oh, hey. Geometry. Yeah. A 90 degree angle. It's a math joke. Yeah. Are you being obtuse?

Thank you. All right. Thank you. Hey, Nick, that was a very acute joke you gave there. Yes. Anyway, there it is. Anyway, let's move on from that, and we'll do the letter.

Do we have to? We'll do the letter of the day. So, Jason, hit it, please. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. All right, the President's Steve Show brought to you today by the letter. X as in, I don't know, what word begins with X? Xylophone. Xylophone. Xenophobia. All right, we'll take caller number nine. Xylophonia. 610-660-9333 and see if you happen to know what the word is.

of the week is and if so we got a very cool prize that we can touch up with in a minute i'm not done with the the giveaways we'll do something else at the end here too you're saying the the givens just beginning that's right um so uh obviously you're here at the i believe for presidency blood right 20th year we're doing this by the way i love that tom has been here all 20 years isn't that great yeah yeah very loyalist yep yep uh and i'm when you called out did others raise their hand for that as well

You know, we didn't do an official. Is anyone here other than Tom been to every one of these? I didn't think so. It's a tough. Who's been to five or more?

Everyone. There we go. Nice. Yeah. Anybody been to 10 or more? 10 or more. Yeah. All right. Nice. Excellent. Got a lot of long timers. And if today's your first one, you're quite welcome with that as well, like you. And we do have some room. Is that correct? Do we have some opportunities for a walk-up, I guess you would call it? Yep. Starting in about 10 minutes, you can just walk in. And if we've got room, we'll get you in and get you out. And it moves along quickly.

Yeah, they've gotten so good. Again, you know, you thought the years we went through times where they've had the system go down and people waited a ridiculously long time, but they still suck it out. Again, I've never seen it as efficient as it is right now. It's a testament to the people of the Red Cross and all the employees. And to these fine people here, take time out of the day to come here. But it does allow you the option if you're flooded with the notion of coming down. Come on down. Well, and you're giving just the very essence of life. I mean, it doesn't get more pure here.

than the idea of doing that. So, you know, if you have the space in your day and can make that happen, that would be great. We'd love to see you. And thank you to all who have come. And it's been a really entertaining broadcast. Thanks, man. What was the thing you were throwing? Donuts or something? Munchkins. Okay. Is that a type of Dunkin' Donuts? Yeah, donut holes. Oh!

Preston and Casey, Casey held most of it from where the water was. And I was by the American Red Cross table over here. Long way. We were trying to clear that. Got close a couple times, but we just couldn't sink it. You know, I did throw out the first pitch at the Phillies some years ago. Oh, you're a ringer. We could have bought you in. Just saying. Next year, maybe. You're on the program today. Yes. That's what you were getting at, and I was evading. We'll have...

I don't really know what we're going to do. All right. But we'll have some blood songs. I know that. Oh, okay. A giant block of blood songs. I mean, there's so many great rock and roll songs that contain blood in them. So, you know, we'll get to a ton of those. Give Blood, for example, by Pete Townsend comes to mind. One of the best. Yeah, and there's a million more. So we'll get to those. I think it's Rivers Cuomo's birthday. We might get some Weezer and who knows what else. And we'll see what directions we drift in.

And what web we weave. Ooh, I like that. All right, hang on. We got to get a winner. Let's go to caller number nine. And it is Kyle, who we're going to go to on the phones. Hey, Kyle, morning. Hey, how are you guys? Awesome. Kyle, do you know what the word of the week is? Relax. Great day in the morning. That is correct, sir.

I'm going to put you on hold, Kyle. Hang on a second. We'll get you information.
