Good morning, it's... They're all that I need. Yeah, they make me happy. That's why I'm a listener and I'll never quit. Wake up, press an end speed. Good morning, it's... Good morning, it's... Yeah, wake up with press an end speed. And good morning, it's... And good morning, it's... And good morning, it's...

Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. Housekeeping. No, thank you. Sleeping. Housekeeping. You come back in an hour. Housekeeping, you want towels? No towels. Need sleepy. Can you want me for pillow? Please go away. Let me sleep for the love of God.

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

And the day and the week begins. Welcome, friends. Good to see you again. Hopefully a solid weekend in your world. But let's take a look at the weather forecast as we begin today.

And it's a cloudy day that we're going to get into. Maybe a little passing bit of mist or spit, whatever you want to call it. High of about 67, so still on the cooler side. We do this warming thing, and we will see some sun towards the latter part of the week. So tomorrow, 77 and cloudy. Wednesday, high of 87, maybe a passing thunderstorm. And then by the time we get to Thursday, we're going to be up around 90 degrees, possibly, with a passing thunderstorm. So we'll keep an eye on all of that stuff.

And now, Kristen and Steve's news update. Today is Monday, June 16th. Good morning. A massive two-day manhunt ended last night with the arrest of Vance Bolter for allegedly killing a Minnesota Democratic state lawmaker and her husband while posing as a police officer.

Bolter allegedly shot and killed Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota House, and her husband Mark in their home on Saturday. A crime characterized as politically motivated assassination.

Authorities said Bolter also allegedly shot and wounded another Democratic lawmaker, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette at their home a few miles away. Hoffman, who had been hit with nine bullets, came out of his final surgery and is moving towards recovery. Bolter was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder.

At about 3.30 a.m. on Saturday morning, police responded to a shooting at Hortman's house to find Bolter leaving the property dressed as a police officer. They said that he exchanged shots with them before escaping on foot. Police said Bolter's uniform would likely appear to be authentic to most people. He also drove a vehicle that appeared identical to an SUV police squad car.

Mark Bruley, the local police chief, told reporters it was equipped with lights, emergency lights that looked exactly like a police vehicle. And yes, they were wearing a vest with taser or other equipment, a badge very similar to mine. That, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer. More to come on the story, obviously, as it develops.

A wildfire which started on Friday morning in Burlington County is still burning, though firefighters are working hard to contain it. And over half the fire is under control. Despite recent heavy rain, a wildfire began burning in the Wharton State Forest in Burlington County. A small private plane flying overhead noticed the flames and called it into officials.

The New Jersey Forest Fire Service has been tackling the flames and officials say that 5,750 acres have burned. The crews have contained 80% of the blaze. Thick smoke spread across much of the region on Friday and Saturday, leaving a campfire scent.

as far away as Delaware County on Saturday morning and throughout South Jersey over the weekend. Crews have also closed the Batona Trail between Carranza Road and Quaker Bridge Road, and a few structures are threatened by the fire. The fire service wrote, crews continue mopping up hot spots and patrolling the fire perimeter. Fire activity remains limited to creeping and smoldering within the established containment lines, and this is expected to continue until substantial rainfall occurs.

An observation flight will be conducted over the fire area when weather conditions permit. I was driving up from the beach this morning. I stayed down in Cape May over the weekend, and I could still smell it on the drive up this morning on the AC Expressway in between, I don't like, Hamilton, Cross Keys area and Philly. And I, you know, heard about the fire over the weekend. My mom, when she was driving down on Friday, said that she could smell it, but we couldn't smell it all the way down in Cape May. But on the drive back up, yeah, I could definitely smell it. Wow.

So we need some rain. Yes. And then finally, soccer fans are headed to Philly this month, the host city of the FIFA Cup World Cup. Okay. With the FIFA Club World Cup, the tournament, which is a smaller version of next year's 2026 World Cup.

is played by club teams from all different countries. The first local game kicks off tonight, Lincoln Financial Field. Local public health officials said that they expect attendance for the summer's games to be mostly people from the U.S., but they also see the tournament as an opportunity to test out surveillance and safety plans in preparation for next year's larger event,

which will draw in many more international visitors. May I suggest a late entry of the Running Away Club? Oh, yeah. Get the band back together. Get it together, yeah. What about the Jumpers Club, too? The Jumpers Club, are they soccer-based? I don't know. No, no, no. I thought they were more pickleball. No, no, we're just roof-based. Just roof-based. Yeah.

The Club World Cup is FIFA's tournament to crown the world's best club team as opposed to the World Cup that features the national teams from countries around the world. FIFA is offering teams a total tournament prize pool of a billion dollars. It's like a billion. With the winners earning up to $125 million. Wow. It's like a

Tonight features Flamingo, a Rio de Janeiro-based club, versus Esperance Sportive de Tunis, the most successful club in Tunisia in Northern Africa. And the match at the link, that will begin at 9 p.m. Hey, let's get some more sports. Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy. Woo!

Who the f*** is that? Alright, Nick, what's going on this morning? The Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays. They did it! They went 11-4 yesterday afternoon at the ballpark. Nick Castellanos hit a grand slam. Zach Wheeler pitched six strong innings. And the Phillies completed the three-game sweep. They did it!

With the win, Alec Boehm also went deep, and Otto Kemp had four hits and two RBI for the Phils, who have won four in a row and five out of their last six. Tonight, the Phils open a four-game series against the Marlins in Miami. Nick Abel will get the start, and the first pitch is scheduled for 640. In the Stanley Cup Finals, the Florida Panthers beat the Oilers 5-2 on Saturday night in Edmonton.

The Panthers now lead the series three games to two. Game six is tomorrow night in South Florida. And the Panthers have a chance to hoist the cup for the second year in a row. The puck will drop at 8 o'clock. Game five of the NBA Finals is tonight in Oklahoma City. The Thunder and the Indiana Pacers are tied at two games apiece.

Tip-off in OKC will be at 8.30. The Union won again, beating Charlotte FC 2-1 on Saturday night at Subaru Park. The Union improved to 11-3-4, good for 37 points, and extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions to 12 games. They've also already exceeded their win total from last season by two. Up next is a match against Chicago Fire FC on Wednesday, June 25th. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.

It's race season, man, because we're going to give away a four-pack of grandstand tickets to the Auto Trader Echo Park Automotive AutoCenter.

400 NASCAR Cup Series race, which is coming up Sunday, July 20th at Dover Motor Speedway. Here's the question for you. What is an uncastrated male horse called? An uncastrated male horse. That is correct. 610-660-9333 is the number. What is an uncastrated male horse called? All right. If you know the answer to that, give us a call right now. We'll see if you can get in, win those tickets. I'll go through some birthdays.

Well, we're waiting for that to happen today. Happens to be the 16th day of June. We will start with actress Joan Van Ark, who is on a couple of big soap opera evening shows, Knott's Landing and Dallas.

She was in Dallas? Yes. She was a member of Dallas, yep. She is 82 years old today. Was she beginning or end of Dallas? She was... You know, I forget. I don't know. She made the round on those shows. She was also on a sitcom where she played a nurse, a short-lived one. Yeah. She was always a lovely woman, and then she started to tinker with that. Like, way too much with her face. Yeah, it got...

Freakish is the perfect word. And I mean that in the best way. A good freakish. By the way, it says she was named after Joan of Arc because her dad claimed he knew that she was going to be a star. That makes no sense. That doesn't make any sense. Joan, okay. Joan, while a rock star in her own mind was burned at the stake. Ladies and gentlemen, Joan of Arc! Yeah.

But Joan Van Ark. All right, so we also have John Cho, who is 53 years old today. Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. And Star Trek, great Sulu, I thought, man. Yeah, I think, sadly, I think the ship is sailing on them doing another one in this series. Because I enjoyed them. The cast was fantastic, man. Is he in the Black Mirror Star Trek episodes? No.

I don't think so. No, no, no, no. You know what it is? He's in Murderbot. And in Murderbot, there is a, I think it's Murderbot with, uh, the Scarsguard. Uh, there is a Star Trek type of show that the Murderbot likes to watch. And I think he's in that. He was also in a recent AI horror movie. Oh. It kind of stunk, but he was good. Uh,

hang on a second though, but you were asking about, uh, the, the Star Trek spin off thing. So, uh, murder bot. Yeah. Give me a brief synopsis. Murder bot is, uh, so, um, Stellan Skarsgård or Peter Skarsgård, one of the Skarsgård dudes is a, he's an Android. And at a certain point, he's able to go in and, and basically untether himself to the system. And so it becomes more of a sentient being, but he also has to kind of keep that a secret because if people find out that he's not, uh,

still linked in, they'll just melt him for parts and start all over again. Got it. Okay. John Cho is 53 years old today. It's Abby Elliott's birthday today. Love her at the Bear. Yeah, she's on the Bear. Does a wonderful job on there, but also How I Met Your Mother, Saturday Night Live, the daughter of comedian Chris Elliott as well.

And she turns 38 years old today. We also have Laurie Metcalf, you know, from Roseanne. She's great. And Big Bang Theory. Uncle Buck. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep, she turns 70 years old. Comedically, she's amazing. Her ability. Yeah, I like her a lot. It is also, and we had a very special moment here on the Preston and Steve show involving this next birthday. It's Gino Vannelli's birthday. Yep. And it was how many...

Years ago, you think you had your encounter with Jackie Bam Bam? Probably seven years ago. Okay. Maybe a little bit more. I put more witness to it. Yeah. It was Gino Vanelli's birthday, and Jackie wanted Casey to know that. And he's like, you know the guy who sings, I just want to stop. And he kept singing it. Yeah. And Casey was really busy and had a lot of work to do. And it was just, it was, Jackie and I love him so much. Yeah.

He would sit here next to me as I was trying to get my work done in the morning before the show. What else? What else? One thing after another. And that particular day, I just didn't have the bandwidth for that and for him. And he just sang. Standing right next to you. And then I turned around and asked him nicely. I was like, listen, man, I got this stuff to do. I need you to, like, can we not do this right now? I never want to stop. And he...

He sang again. But it was, I mean, it was like straight out of a freaking sitcom. Can you stop? Because he stopped. He did stop for about 10 seconds. It was like 10 seconds of silence. And then you just hear him go, I just don't want to stop. I was like, dude. I just grabbed my stuff and I stormed out and I just went to, I found a... I think I upset him with Gino Vannelli. I think he followed you out. He did. And you were like, Jackie, Jackie, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, don't do it. Don't follow him out.

Gino Vanelli is 73. In the spirit of the song, he wanted to stop. But he couldn't. Let's see. Boxer Roberto Duran, no mas, with his famous fight. I forgot who he was fighting. Helen Hayes. No, it wasn't Helen Hayes. But he said no mas, meaning no more. I'm done. I am out. He is celebrating his 74th birthday today. Nick can probably find that information. I forgot who that was against. Was it Sugar Ray

Leonard, maybe? Might have been. Yeah. Anyhow, 74. And the last birthday is Phil Mickelson, the golfer. He turns 55 years old today. Place him in the hierarchy. He's up there, man. I mean, it all depends on what you're talking about as far as number of tournaments won. I mean, he's great. He's one of the greats. The guy is amazing. And I don't know how many majors he's won in his career.

But he's also known to be a bit of an attitude. That's what I've heard. Yeah. And I'm on the periphery of the sport, but I hear that he has a bit of an ego. They all have egos. He had a betting problem for a while. Did he? Yeah. But he turns 55 years old today. Yeah. He was a guy that I knew in the industry said that his nickname was Fig Jam Phil. Yeah. Which stands for F I'm Good Just...

Ask me, Big Jam. The old axiom of, well, that's enough about me. What do you think about me? That was Phil Mickelson. And by the way, Preston, you're right. It was Sugar Ray Leonard in New Orleans, Roberto Duran. And that match was back in 1981. Wow. Yeah, yeah. No mas. All right. Let's see if we can get a winner for the stupid question this morning. And we want to find out what an uncastrated male horse is called.

610-660-9333 is the number. And our first caller in with that is Tom. So we're going to go to him. Tom, you are on the air. Good morning, bud. Hi, good morning. It's Tyler, by the way. All right, Tyler. We'll go with that then. Tyler, do me a favor and tell me what an uncastrated male horse is called, please. That would be a stallion. Stallion. Whoa!

Ding, ding. Hola, bud. We got you with a four-pack grandstand tickets to the Auto Trader Echo Park Automotive 400 NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday, July 20th at Dover Motor Speedway. NASCAR returns to Dover Motor Speedway July 18th through the 20th. You can see NASCAR's

Best drivers race at speeds up to 200 miles an hour and an amazing fan zone and more. You can get tickets at DoverMotorSpeedway.com. We'll start with the take at the box office over the week in the live action remake of How to Train Your Dragon. Went to the top with...

The movie grossing $83.7 million and it's debuted the best opening in the franchise's history. More than enough to secure the number one spot at the box office. You know, the guy who directed the animated version directed the live action version. Oh, you know that? Yeah, yeah.

Speaking of live action remakes, Lilo and Stitch took second place this week in a haul of 15.5 mil. The Dakota Johnson rom-com Materialist debuted with a solid 12 mil. Mission Impossible Final Reckoning took fourth place this time around with a gross of 10.3 million. And it was enough to take the movie past 500 million globally. And rounding out the top five, we've got Ballerina falling to fifth place with a take of $9.4 million.

Speaking of Tom Cruise, as I did with Mission Impossible, rumors about Ana de Armas and he dating heated up again after the two were spotted together once again in London. A source claimed to Page Six that they've eaten privately at the members-only club Annabelle's. Annabelle. What are you going to have? Oh, you're a lovely couple. What?

Welcome to Annabelle's. Apparently they've eaten... As you know, that's Santa Claus's wife's name. They've eaten at Annabelle's a couple of times over the past two months, apparently. Aha. I hope they're not... Listen, I like them both a lot. I just don't want them together. Neither do I. According to page six, apparently Tom was looking enchanted by her. I'm enchanted. And...

she looks very happy with him. How could you not be enchanted by him? I don't want to ruin this moment. I need you to stop talking and listen to me. She is a goddess. She's stunning. Yeah. Stunning, stunning. Which is...

Wow, because in Knives Out, they made her look very plain, but it's hard to hold that back. She just naturally is a beautiful woman. Now, before you get too excited about it, the two are working on multiple projects together. They have been seen together at professional meetings, but also a bunch of social events as well, including a birthday dinner at David Beckham's 50th birthday party. A source previously told Us Weekly that Cruz has been looking to court her, though, and their relationship is in the early stages.

The actors are also set to star together in Deeper, directed by Doug Liman. So that's what that's all about. And Risky Business 2, I understand, Preston. No, I'm like, get out of here. His parents go away. He's a 58-year-old.

Taylor Swift surprised young patients at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida after attending the NHL Stanley Cup final with Travis Kelsey. She visited kids, posed for pics, and lifted spirits, even telling one patient that she was a big fan of her hair. And the footage is just, it's wonderful, and you'll tear up watching it. And, you know, kudos to her because...

You know, obviously she's massively busy, but to do that, anytime anybody does that, it's always wonderful. One parent shared literally crying because look who Judah met at the hospital today before his transfusion. It was a post that she put up on social media. Dr. Jill Whitehouse.

Chief of Surgery praised Swift as, quote, one of the kindest human beings I've ever had the privilege of meeting, adding, thank you for making dreams come true for all of our patients, families, and staff today. Yeah, I love stuff like that. I saw, for whatever reason on my algorithm on Instagram, a...

montage and you've seen it before of Tom Holland dressed as Spider-Man. It's great. He's like, hey, I'm Spider-Man. He's talking with the mask on and everything. Then he takes it off and they're like, oh my God. They think it's one of these rents of Spider-Man. It was really cool. It's great. It doesn't get many requests to do that. Michael Madsen. So what do you got?

What do you got? Let me get this straight. You're in this goddamn bed all day? You're going to need to leave, sir. I'm not Spider-Man. Where did you get that? Are you sick and stupid? Well, this is cool. After Gary Oldman has been knighted by King Charles III, recognizing his services to...

to drama. Arise, Sir Gary Oldman. Like his work in Harry Potter and Slow Horses. Like your work in Harry Potter and Slow Horses. And the professional in which you're straight out of your goddamn mind. I saw a clip of Gary Oldman not that long ago where he's

Describing why he listens to Beethoven. Yeah, yeah. In the professional. My God, is he an unhinged, psychotic character in that movie. He's so good. You know where he's... If you want to know the range, Sid and Nancy, that Oppenheimer is Truman. Yeah. Then True Romance is Drexel. Yeah. Dracula. Dracula. Dracula.

It's crazy. Gino Vannelli? I just want to stop. Paramount Pictures, Gary Oldman is Gino Vannelli. Yes. You won't want to stop either. Gary Oldman, who's the role I've been hoping for for many years. I always wanted to play a very hairy Canadian. I don't know.

You know, Vanelli played by Gary Oldman. Sir Gary Oldman, my dear. Any interview you see with him, he is just fantastic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love how he is given his just reverence by other actors. He is a guy that maybe about...

15, 20 years ago, I would be like, I don't know if I'd want to interview him because... Too wound? Too intense. Yeah, yeah. But he is actually, he's got a great sense of humor. He's very light. He's very fun. Self-deprecating. Yeah, as well. Yeah, most definitely. He's a fan of movies. Like, for example, I was watching him talk about working on the Bram Stoker Dracula movie.

And he's a massive Godfather fan and wanted to work with Coppola. So this is Ullman's first royal accolade, placing him among peers like Sir Kenneth Branagh and Sir Daniel Day-Lewis. The actor was one of several people recognized in this year's King's Birthday Honors List. And soccer star David Beckham's knighthood was confirmed in the same honors list.

After being rumored earlier this month, and he was recognized, obviously, for his services to sport and charity. Arise, Lawrence the Cable Guy. Casey, are you still watching Slow Horses with Gary? No, I fell off. Okay. I've got to watch that. Everyone raves about it. You really like to? Yeah, I did. Okay, why'd you stop watching it? Just...

whatever there's a million things yeah and i've forgotten i saw um uh the cast being interviewed on colbert last week and um the i think all the actors are either irish or british and so colbert gave them american accents to read or lines to read in american accents and gary oldman did his as like a surfer dude from southern california it was freaking hilarious and he nailed it i mean he's an incredible actor they you know it was it was fun uh fun bit

Speaking of great actors, Mike the Situation Sorrentino. God, he's good. He's a fellow, by the way. This thing is rivaling Denzel's on Broadway. He is announced. We got it. Pursuit. We got a situation here. Pursuit? He's pointing at his stomach while he's saying that. My abs. Yeah.

Not six-minute apps. He has announced that he and his wife are now officially intervention certified. I saw this. Yes, he celebrates his 10th year of sobriety. He's been through a lot. Anybody who comes out on the other side of that and wants to kind of pay it forward is a good thing. Remember, the last time we saw the footage was they had that choking incident caught on the house camera. Remember, it was his kid? Mm-hmm.

And they did the Heimlich on it and it became a big news thing. He shared the news on Instagram and revealed that they are launching their own treatment center brand called the Archangel Centers.

The facilities will focus on mental health and substance use treatment for adolescents and adults, opening later this year in New Jersey. And water park. Mike called this achievement personal, describing it as an apology to myself. The reality TV star has been open about his struggles in the past, including opioid and heroin addiction, detailing his darkest moments and his memoir, which was called, by the way, and you do have to like the name of this article,

The name of this book, it's called Reality Check, Making the Best of the Situation. There you go. I didn't know he was a heroin addict. He was. That he fell into that. That's crazy. And he also had a big issue. Remember, he did time for the IRS. That was a tax evasion. Oh, shit.

So actress Rikki Lake struggled with her weight for years before finally getting a handle on it. However, with age and weight loss inevitably causing sagging skin, she pulled the trigger on seeing a plastic surgeon. And watch what happens live with Andy Cohen Thursday. She revealed what she had done and who did it. She said, I've had a lower face and neck lift.

I stole the host and the audience and she looks really good. I thought the same thing. She's got great work done. No wonder people are clamoring to this, uh, to this team that did her work. So when, uh, Cohen told her how good she looks, she thanked him and said, I think, uh, I kind of think that it's the best facelift I've ever seen. Thanking her surgeon by name. She said, uh, she sent many people to Dr. Alan Farnsworth.

Fouad, F-O-U-H-A-D, which led Cohen to joke that he would be heading to L.A. for this himself. But yeah, she looks great. She looks also...

The hard thing to pull off is that amount of work, but make it look natural. Yeah, she does. Yep, absolutely. I mean, the only picture I'm looking at right now is not that great of a picture. I saw a video of this segment, and it definitely looks pretty flawless. Like, you wouldn't look at her and go, oh, my God, did you get something done? You know, she looks good, so...

So last week, there was a story out about Scott and Kelly Wolf splitting up. Scott Wolf was from Party of Five. Yeah, had him in the studio. Yeah, so over the weekend, things with the couple went south rather quickly. Kelly was taken by police to

to a Utah hospital during an encounter that was captured on Instagram Live. In a statement, law enforcement said deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help upon speaking with the female. Our deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our deputies. And actually, we have...

We should have a clip of that. Should have that clip, yeah. Apparently, what happened, Preston, is that she was doing an Instagram live stream and she didn't shut it off. Oh. And she was saying stuff that alarmed people, and so they sent the police. So, during a video of the incident, Kelly alleges that she's been abused by her husband.

and claims the deputies were abusing her as well. So this is only like a six-second clip. It's very short. This is as they're, I guess, taking her into custody. I think this is shameful, and Scott Wolf has been abusing me, and now you're abusing me more. We haven't talked to Scott Wolf. So that was it. So immediately, like, people who know him, listen, she may have something, I don't know, but a lot of people immediately said, that's outlandish. Like, Billy Bush at Extra said, no, that's not right.

There's nowhere near that. Yeah, we'll see. So just over a year after the couple announced that they had filed for divorce, it's officially over for the marriage of Sasha, Baron Cohen, and Isla Fisher. It's over. It's over. It is. It is. It's over for Boris. It's over. He watches the ladies make water. Right? Yes. Make a toilet. Make a toilet. That's right. Coming back from Vietnam, watching the ladies make toilet.

Because I bore it. The actors announced in April 2024 that they had filed to end their marriage in 2023. I have to imagine that there are sharks swimming around. I mean, that's been locked down for a while. And on weekends, they travel to capital city and watch the ladies while they make a toilet.

On Friday, the former couple shared messages on their Instagram stories confirming they'd finalized their divorce. They wrote, we are proud of all we achieved together and continuing our great respect for each other. We remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. He's apparently a ladies man. Women like Sacha Baron Cohen. The two were married for 13 years. They share three kids, two daughters and a son.

The Boys star, Erin Moriarty, she plays Starlight, the lead of the show, has revealed that she's been diagnosed with Graves' disease. It's a thyroid issue, is it not? Autoimmune issue. So maybe it has to do with the thyroid, Steve. I'm not really sure. Over the weekend, she broke the news on Instagram with a carousel of photos and an explanation. She said autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody.

Uh, and your ex and everybody, she said, separating the words to, uh, your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours, perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely. I just said one thing I can say, if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would have caught this sooner. A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves disease as she claimed that she started feeling better just a day into treatment. Uh,

saying, go get checked, don't suck it up, and transcend suffering. You deserve to be comfy. Crap is hard enough as it is, she said. It can make your eyes bulge, the Graves' disease. You ever seen somebody like that? Yeah, and so there are some commercials where people will wear sunglasses because they don't like being seen in public. And so there are treatments for Graves' disease that can help with that. Okay.

So Marlee Maitland is opening up about the darkest chapter of her life and the Hollywood icon who helped her through it in an upcoming documentary called Marlee Maitland Not Alone Anymore. It's coming out June 20th. The Children of a Lesser God star revisits her tumultuous relationship with late actor William Hurt.

whom she claims had a habit of abuse and the deep friendship that she formed with her longtime mentor, Henry Winkler, during the recovery. This blew my mind that they were that close. Maitland met Hurt on the set of their 1986 film when she was just 19, he was 35. While she says Hurt encouraged her to enter rehab, the actress revealed...

That post rehab, she knew that she couldn't return. She said, I walked out of that house and never walked back. And that's when she leaned on Henry Winkler. She said, he didn't make it hard for me to reach out to him. He was always available. It was like an open door, an open door to his heart and my heart. And Henry recalled the moment that Maitland appeared on his door. He said, I just broke up with my boy. She said, I just broke up with my boyfriend. Can I stay with you for the weekend? Two years later, she finally moved out, he said. So she stayed with him for a long time.

Maitland says that Winkler and his wife, Stacey Weitzman, welcomed her like family. If I didn't have Henry in my life, she said, I don't think that I would be here. He provided a place for me to feel safe. The documentary also delves into Maitland's past trauma and her bravery in coming forward before the Me Too movement. She said, I didn't know that you could ask for help. While I was screaming, no one came, she said.

Now 59 years old, Maitland said that she's still driven by the same fire that fueled her as a young actress breaking into Hollywood. She said it was a dream come true, so why shouldn't I be able to do another film? But if it happened today, I would have made a lot of noise back then. Well, she made a good one recently with Coda, which was terrific. And...

Winkler apparently, you know, Stallone stayed with Winkler. They were up-and-comers, and then Winkler had gotten the Fonzie contract.

role in his career was off and running, but Stallone stayed with him when he came out to L.A. and they've been best, because they were in that movie The Lords of Flatbush together. Unbelievable! It is unbelievable. You fancy! I highly recommend his memoir. It's a great book. He has had a very interesting life. Some really cool stories and some really surprising things. Like he and his parents did not get along. Like he...

really disliked them. They were very difficult people. Maybe that made him in reaction who he is. And he's just a sweetheart of a human being. So if you want a good read, that's a solid one.

At this rate, Nick Cannon's going to be having as many hosting gigs as he does kids. It was announced by Fox that Lego Masters is coming back with Cannon as host, replacing Will Arnett. The hell's that about? Yeah. Cannon, of course, is already the host of Fox's The Masked Singer. In a statement, Michael Thorne, president of Fox Television Network, said, we're thrilled to bring Lego Masters back for another season alongside our incredible creative partners. This beloved series continues to

captivate audiences. Originally launched with the wonderful Will Arnett, the show now enters an exciting new chapter with Nick Cannon at the helm who brings a new fun energy to the competition. I think they need to explain. They never do, but they never say, things weren't working out with Will, that's why we're going with Nick. But they never do that. No. Lego Masters will be filming audition episodes for

for season six at Legoland California Resort in Carlsbad this coming weekend. I've never watched that show. Have you guys ever seen it? Yeah. Will Arnett actually makes it kind of fun and funny but at its core it's kind of boring I think. I mean they really try to you know goose it but they're just making Lego things. If it's your thing then it's probably exciting. Yeah.

Disney and Pixar broke some big news for animation fans at the Annecy Animation Festival with Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter, who we've had here in our studio before, revealing that they're working on a new cat-centric film, Gato, directed by Enrico Carassoza.

Kara... Yeah. No. Casa Rosa. Sorry. Who previously directed Luca. The new film will return to Italy, this time exploring Venice through the story of a black cat named Nero. Nero is a music-loving cat that doesn't swim, who is also in debt to a feline mob boss. They form an unlikely friendship with Maya, a street artist who adopts him. The film will explore Nero's quest for purpose amid the city's beautiful and darker elements.

Pixar also surprised the Annecy audience by showcasing animation tests with a unique hand-painted visual style that the studio has never used before. So I haven't seen this. I don't know what that looks like, but that sounds cool. I'm having a brain fart, but there was a great... It won the Oscar for animated movie just this year past. And it has that kind of animation style that is tremendous. Is it Flow or something like that? Flow, yeah. I think that's it, Nick. I loved...

this movie, if you want to watch a really innovative... Preston, it's a story, you're just following a cat, the animals don't make, you know, they don't talk, they make their normal sounds, but it's sort of a dystopian world. And there's a game, a video game, which is a great video game called Cat. And again, it's in kind of a...

dystopian future world and you're just going with this cat on its travels. And it has Tomb Raider-ish kind of elements, puzzle solving, survival thing. Flo is the animated movie and Cat is the PlayStation game. All right, that sounds unique. Steve, according to this article, Pixar is channeling the Kitty Hit franchise

Flo, which is the one, so they're building off of the success of that movie, which won the Oscar, like you said, for this Pixar movie that Preston's talking about. Gatto or Gatto, whatever it is. Yeah, I can't recommend Flo highly enough. Gatto is expected to premiere in the summer of 2027. All right, and then one more story.

A Minecraft movie is headed to Max, and the blockbuster will begin streaming on Max this Friday, debuting on HBO Linear on Saturday at 8 p.m. The movie, starring Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, and Danielle Brooks,

hit theaters in April and was a worldwide hit. It took in over $951 million. It's crazy. I just have a question that has nothing to do with what you're talking about right now. As of now, the film is the second highest-

Grossing of the year, as well as the second highest grossing video game adaptation of all time after Super Mario Bros. movie. Did all your crew see it, Preston? No. I was just talking to Carter yesterday, who wants to see this movie. Yeah. I don't know if Caleb saw it or not, but yeah. I mean, because it got like so-so reviews, but people loved it. Yeah. They went to go see it because they're fans, so...

Anyway, your question? My question, well, because Steven sent over a clip, an audio clip of Justin Bieber appealing to the paparazzi, and then I was on Instagram last night watching him kind of unravel. Are you guys familiar? Yeah, he's been unraveling for a couple of weeks now. But this last one, if you want to pull up his Twitter, like he's going after somebody, and it's just a screen capture of a text chat of him basically breaking up with a friend. No, I didn't see that. You didn't see that? No. Okay, okay. So I wasn't sure if those...

two things were connected. The problem is I don't understand. I don't know

who he's talking to, but he's basically calling the dude a pussy. You're like, you always were a pussy. Yeah, I'm blocking you now. I wasn't sure if you guys were familiar with what this was all about. I saw him. He's been calling out at the paparazzi for following him. That's the only thing I'm familiar with. Not the pussy on the text chain. But pussy does pertain because we were just talking about cats. Why would he post this screen...

screen captured this conversation he's having with a friend on Instagram. I don't know. I don't know. I kind of thought it was a big deal. And no real context. How did this come across your radar? I follow the Biebs on Instagram. Oh, you follow Biebs. Okay, I got you. So I follow the Biebs on Instagram. Was it you he was calling a pussy? No, I'm pre-

No, no, no. Couldn't be me. Stop following me, pussy. What if that's how you found out, though, Casey? Oh, my God. It's me. Stop following me, you pussy. What did I do? I don't know. He's off the rails. I don't know, Casey. Maybe we can figure it out. All right. We'll get back to you. All right. We're going to do some clips now. All right.

Gerard Butler reprises his role as Stoic the Vast for the live action How to Train Your Dragon. And here he talks about completely transforming to step into this new world. The costumes were incredible. Took hours to get on that and the makeup. That costume was, with the action shield, 90 pounds.

And I had to wear that all day long. And that's what I talk about, that metamorphosis. Because when you are wearing that most of the day, you start to... And you're living the life of Stoic more than you're living the life of Jerry Butler. Because then you just go home and go to bed. You're like sitting in the house going, how am I going to do this tomorrow? How to Train Your Dragon is, of course, in theaters now. Here's our next clip. So Mount Midoriyama...

is taking a break for the season of American Ninja Warrior 2.

Allow room for a new game plan. Mount? Yeah, Mount Midoriyama. Is that the thing they climb at the end? Yes, yeah, yeah. Here, host, oh man, Casey. I call it Gbaja Biamila. Gbaja Biamila, thank you very much. Talks about how the show has grown. Here we go. The show has gone from being a TV show to a sport to a cultural thing that brought people together. This is going to now be in the Olympics.

And so we thought, well, what else can we do with the show? Well, we're going to change the format. And so for the first time, we're asking the viewers to get the brackets out because we're going to see Ninja Madness. There's March Madness, but then there's Ninja Madness. Akbar is great. He's been here in our studio. Super nice guy and a great interview. And he will be hosting a new episode of American Ninja Warrior tonight on NBC. So side note to that, he was on...

They've redone Hollywood Squares. So Hollywood Squares is now on Primetime Show. And he was one of these squares. And so Preston, though, to a trained eye, you know...

You know, people sometimes someone will make a comment and the camera's already on them. Yeah. So it's like, oh, yeah, it's fully scripted. Sure. So all these off the cuff, quote unquote, comments are fully scripted because there's no way the camera would know to cut to someone before they say an ad lib. You know? Yep. You want Justin Bieber update? Yeah. Sure. There's no update. Oh, OK. It's too late for him to say sorry.

Is the headline of every story I've read. Okay. But no, they're pretty much saying it's an anonymous person and nobody knows who it is. But they are concerned about his Father's Day post after Haley Bieber's odd Mother's Day post. What was weird about the Father's Day post? It was just like a three-word thing that says...

Jim Tan Laundry? Something about being a bad dad. Well, we were talking about situation earlier. Yeah, there you go. What does that mean? He called himself a dad that's not to be effed with. Oh, okay. Alrighty then. Well, I'm glad I don't care. You're welcome. Thank you, Marissa. Thank you, Marissa, for that situation news or just paper news or whatever it is.

Hey, maybe Biebs can go to Situations Rehab Place. Yeah. That'd be great. That'd be perfect, right? This is Nurse Snooki. And Dr. JWoww. Dr. JWoww. Dr. JWoww's on call today. All right. Well, that is your, folks, that's your entertainment report. And I know you live for this stuff. So, you know, we're happy to just really...

fulfill your life right now. We are going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a moment. We'll dive into the nitty gritty later on this morning. Phil Rosenthal from Somebody Feed Phil will be joining us. We have an announcement about something coming up in just a moment, so we'll roll that info out to when we get back. Stay with us, my friends. We'll be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Preston. I think we ought to open up the general store this morning. Let y'all come in and take a look around. Yeah, visit the general store with proprietor Preston Elliott. On the outside, it appears to be a small shack, but inside, it's the size of Missouri. Don't you see me wearing, like, overalls? Yeah. Standing out in front. With your thumbs under your, yeah. Hooked under the straps. Where you from, stranger? Yep.

We don't like your kind of... I was picturing an apron kind of... Okay, I can see that too. Stand by the counter. With a large Easter bonnet. Alright, so we're going to start in the music travel section of the store. It's a section right at the front.

Yes, it is. Next to the candy. Right there. Is it a combo section? Yes. I got you. Music and travel together. And sodomy. I'm going to tell you about the world's best cities for music lovers. Okay. Okay, so sometimes people will plan trips if they're, you know, audiophiles or music fans, and they will go specifically to sample the music of an area. New Orleans probably ends up a lot if you're like a jazz fan. I know that both Casey and Nick...

And I'm sure Marissa too have had travel destinations specifically focused around shows, around concerts. Yes, yes.

don't think I've ever done that. I went to Austin once for the Austin City Limits music festival. I went to Coachella, essentially, for the old Chella. And then I've also traveled to see Fish many, many times. I went to Helsinki to hear Falco do a written presentation. Nick, you've done The Gorge. I've done The Gorge in Washington State to see Dave Matthews band a couple times. I've traveled to see Pearl Jam. I've traveled to see Dave Matthews.

And I like building a trip around where that band is going to be because it gives you a good excuse to go visit that city. Have you ever folded in a concert when you were on vacation or a trip? Not. I don't have anything to do that. I can't remember. I can't really remember doing that. Oh, it's kind of the basis of a lot of our trips. We road tripped up to Quebec a couple years ago to see their big festival. I've gone to Red Rocks. I learned that Red Rocks is just like the man of Denver. Yeah. But for us, it's really special. With rocks. Yeah.

I went to New Orleans for Jazz Fest, which is really cool. And another one for live music is Nashville. Yeah. You walk up and down Broadway and every artist is amazing. Right. So this is according to Seat Pick. They are a ticket platform and they- It's like a poop knife. Analyze data on the number of concerts, music venues, festivals, hometown artists, and music related businesses in cities. And this is around the world. So it's just not the US. So you get a good peek at this internationally. Okay.

So they ranked each city with a music score based on all of that. And it was out of 10. And the number one spot, and I found this surprising and interesting, it's actually London, England.

That they came up with the highest score. There was a time when I would have naturally assumed London, you know, like during the 60s and all that period. But they're back, I guess. Well, what do they offer that makes them so nice? So London is home to 199 venues. Wow. 1,734 concerts, 44 festivals.

And an impressive 3,042 homegrown artists. So there's a lot of local musicians. Yeah, yeah. In London. The German city of Berlin came in second. Huh. Yeah. With a score of 9.55. Pierre's traveled to Berlin to see a bunch of different shows, including the Hooters, who are huge in Germany. Yeah, that's right. But Pierre's seen a bunch of different artists perform in Berlin over the years. To me, my perfect trip would be traveling to Berlin to see Berlin. Oh, my God. My God.

My man. I was ready for that. I was ready for you. I can't believe it happened. I've always wanted to do this, Berlin. Well, then you'd have to see... Well, number three on the list is Chicago, so you'd have to see Chicago in Chicago, right? I picture that...

There's got to be someone who's done, who's attempted to do that. I went to Chicago and saw Lollapalooza. So I wonder if a lot of these are based around those big festivals too, like Leeds is in London and Lollapalooza is in Chicago. Well, that is a part of it. So it said, yes, it's concert and music venues, festivals, hometown artists, and music-related businesses in and around the city. So Chicago does have Lollapalooza. And I'm trying to think if they have other, I mean, they've got loads of concert venues.

By the way, when did Lollapalooza stop touring as a festival and just became locked in Chicago? A decade ago, maybe. A decade, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So Chicago is third, followed by Vienna, Austria. Well, Steve and I have been there, but I didn't look into the local music. I saw Berlin there, oddly enough. You saw Berlin in Vienna? Really, there's so much that's just wonderful there that concerts are not really something that works. Have you ever seen Billy Joel perform Vienna? In Vienna? Oh, my God.

God, that'd be great. Wouldn't it? Number five on the list, as Marissa was saying, is Nashville, Tennessee. And it's Music City. You know, if you could see Europe in Europe, that would be... But you have many more options because you're, you know, technically you have many more countries. Asia and Asia. Boston and Boston. Kansas and Kansas. True. You could do it all. Oh, my God. And then at the end of your life, you can say, I've wasted everything. Are we playing Europe now? Yeah. Of course. Of course. Would you want to see...

Toto in Africa? Oh, wow. I didn't even think of that. I'd rather see him in Kansas. Toto in Kansas. Yeah, that's true. Good point. I like Kansas-based fan names. So Nashville was fifth, and then you have Manchester, England at number six. Number seven is New York City, New York, New York.

Number eight, Glasgow, Scotland. Yeah. Nine is Seattle, Washington. Well, yeah. There was a time when that was... You would assume. Yeah. When the grunge era hit and Seattle all of a sudden became the musical pulse of rock music. It was like, whoa, that came out of nowhere. What captures that well is the movie Singles because you see them in the beginning. They're taking in all those clubs and you're seeing all those grunge bands. Yep.

So Seattle was ninth. And then finally, Bristol, England was number 10 on the list. Not Bucks County? No, nothing in Bucks County. Sorry about that. Oh, yeah, Bristol. Risqué in Bristol. Yeah, yeah. So, you know what? Music has never really been a part of my travel plans, which is kind of interesting. I never really thought about that until now. Any...

big concerts that I've wanted to go see, I've always waited until they came to where I was. And concerts as a whole have kind of fallen off your radar, right? Yeah, yeah. It's my hearing. The damage to my hearing, it's just something I don't seek out anymore, unfortunately. There are so many cool venues, though. To me, that's part of the inspiration, is going to see a band that I love in a new venue. I've not been to the Sphere yet. I really want to get there. And that's, for me, an excuse to go to Vegas. So, like Marissa mentioned,

mentioned, Red Rocks is awesome. I'd love to get back there, but I've seen a couple shows there over the years. It's just... Philly has really good venues. We're lucky to have good venues here, but they're not...

or geologically fascinating like the Gorge is or Red Rocks is. So I like going to different places like that. And not just, Steve, going back to why I don't go to many shows at the hearing, but the crowd thing turns me off now, which is weird. I don't get paranoid or afraid or anything like that. It's not like some people might be getting nervous in crowds. I know what you're saying. The hassle of the crowd. Is this going to go well? Because sometimes the best evenings are simply, this is a, what a great concert. Parking was a breeze. Yeah.

It's like those are the environmental things that determine whether or not you've enjoyed the evening. You know what else I've heard more and more frequently lately is that people will travel to see bands in other countries because tickets are cheaper. You can go see Taylor Swift play around the world and pay a fraction of the price and build a vacation around it. So especially if it's a pop star like Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, people will take...

their kids on vacation and go see them because they can afford the tickets in other countries much more easily than they can afford the tickets here. Yeah. All right, so that's a peek at music venues and cities and which are the best. We are now moving to another part of the store.

We're going to legitimate part of a store, the toilet paper aisle. Ah, definitely, yeah. So toilet paper rolls were invented more than 150 years ago. And as long as they've been around, the question of the right way to put it on the holder has been a source of disagreement around the world.

And in Casey's household, too. Yes, a big battle. It was Madame Curie who created toilet paper, correct? I don't think so. But you know what? Sure. Honestly, I'm like, is that a joke? I can't.

No one ever accommodates that. I don't know when she existed on this planet. No, actually, hang on. I think I have the audio right here. You know who invented it? Gino Vannelli. Thank you for coming to my show this evening. And if you want to stop wiping, try this.

All right. So what were you going to say about the toilet paper debate? I mean, listen, I know how it's supposed to go on the roll. For some reason, there's somebody in my household who either they disagree with me or they don't have a preference. Why don't you interrogate him?

Because nobody admits to anything in my household. The culprit is doing what that reviles you so much about the toilet paper? They make the toilet paper go underneath. It's supposed to flap over the top. It's one of those arguments that I know is asinine and really ultimately doesn't matter. But boy, does it bother me. It bothers you. Which are you? Casey and I are the exact same camp. It goes over the top and it...

I don't know why it matters, but it matters. Do you care, Steve? I really don't. I don't care. Marissa, is it an issue for you? I will change it in public places. If it's spacing underneath. Like at restaurants, I will change it. I will do it. All right, so you guys, you want it to go over. Listen, in our bathrooms here, you're not presented with that option because they're sealed within a container. It's my guess that what you're seeing is them over the top. I can't tell. But are you fine either way?

With the dispenser? Well, if I can't see it, then it's sort of like... It's more visual. Yeah, yeah. So while some argue for the over position where the next square of toilet paper is facing the user, others are team under where the next square is facing the wall. And now it seems a scientist has finally settled the debate. Wow. Yes.

Is it Neil deGrasse Tyson? No, it's Dr. Primrose Freestone, a professor of clinical microbiology. That's a name. And this doctor has declared that the under method is actually safer and more effective. Wow. So you guys are loose cannons. So the question is why? And she explains that the over orientation requires a second hand to touch the roll. No, it doesn't. Which means...

This is a scientist. Which means more risk of contamination before we wipe. And more potential risk of infection. What he's saying... It does actually make sense. If it is looped over the top... And again, I'm agnostic on this. But if it's over the top...

If you touch, you're going to touch the roll as you pull it off. Well, and also, Steve, I think they're saying is if you pull down some toilet paper and then to tear it off, you place your other hand on top. And most people use their mouths to stop it. Right. I mean, are we not using both hands to either fold or crumple up the toilet paper anyway? What the fuck does it matter? No, no, no. What they're saying is, so if you touch that, that is going to be a piece that is not used.

If you're in a public bathroom, that is going to be someone else's hand that has ended up on there. So I understand that. What kind of toilet paper are these people using? Because you just need one hand. It tears very easily. Not always. I mean, but, you know, like I told you, I don't care. Either way is fine with me. Do you wipe with one hand or two hands, Case? One. One.

You don't go... You're one-handed. You don't double... Look, I have no idea if this is legitimate or not, but a listener sent us the U.S. Patent Office's toilet paper roll. And this is from December of 1891. And according to the United States Patent Office, it's supposed to come, just like the Stallone movie, over the top. Now, wait a minute. This is not explaining on how to use it. This is just simply...

what the product is. You know what I mean? Look where it's coming over. No, I know where it's coming over. They could have just as easily done it the other way, too. But they didn't. Not according to the patent, they didn't. It's a wiping method that's sweeping the nation. Tile and paper dangling from underneath. This is a very deliberate drawing, and they would have drawn it under if in the patent office it made sense to draw it under. Okay. This young fella's wiping away.

Two-hander. Two-hander, old school. So the doctor, this scientist says there is more handling of the toilet roll from the over position. Freestone says from the under position, there is less likely to be a whole roll contamination. Least favorite toilet dispenser.

Is the freestanding column where the roll is basically dropped down on top and you're pulling it laterally. Yeah. You always pull the thing over. It's never weighted well enough. And that's... You're holding things and touching things and it's way too involved. The one that I hate the most is not necessarily the design, but it's the location. It's in our bathroom over here. On the left. In the big stall. Yes. Like...

Dude, you can't. Your leg is right next to the dispenser. You have to sit side saddle on the toilet because they. And mind you, we're assuming that people who are sitting in there may have extenuating physical circumstances to deal with anyway. Right. And they make it a gymnastic session. So dumb. Yeah. I don't use that bathroom for big potties anymore. I don't either. No, I go elsewhere in the building. I like making a little adventure. That's.

Well, I use that when I do my Tai Chi. We have a slight trade-off, and Chuck and I have discussed this at length because Chuck does prefer to go long down the hall as opposed to up. I go up. I have learned to go long because it's a nicer bathroom down the hall. But the trade-off is no Wi-Fi.

No self-service. Yeah, you get Wi-Fi down by the Fanatic, but you don't get Wi-Fi in what we call the executive bathroom, which is like really super cool, state-of-the-art, well-lit. It's a nice one. Yeah, next level. And that's where I've been going to lately, and it's sparsely populated. Very few people go down there, so that's why I prefer to use it, but...

I have to trade off and I don't get to sit and look at my stories while I'm done. The one that's directly up is like you're going back into the 50s. It's great to see Doc Brown coming out. I go six. I go to the sixth floor. Wow. All the way to the far end of the building. Two floors. Far end? It's a huge bathroom. I hear.

Wow. It's the nicest bathroom, in my opinion. Oh, really? In the building, yeah. Now, are you also using it for a little bit of exercise since it's that far away? A little bit, but it's spacious and it's got more stalls and you don't have the Wi-Fi issue because you automatically disconnect. So you just, you know, you're back on your cell or whatever. I necessarily, are you talking about the individual stalls are spacious? Because I don't really like a giant bathroom.

bathroom stall. I want to be wedged in there like a veal. Where do you put your card table? I think you have five options, six options maybe in that one on the sixth floor all the way at the end. So there's a bunch to choose from and they are spacious enough. You need just enough room for a charcuterie board.

And the sinks are separate from the toilets. Yeah. So there's a little bit of a space like when you're done and you go and you hang out in the sink area, you're not being interrupted by the people in the toilet area. You guys use the lobby bathroom next to the elevators? Yes. It's a nice one. It is a nice one, yeah. Let me ask you, could you guys use or would you have a problem using a prison toilet sink combo? You see those, right? At work, yes.

Yeah, I don't think I'd dig on that at all. Those metal toilets in general are just not... There's nothing warm and comforting about those. And I know this is part of the purpose. Right. You're in prison, buddy. Yeah.

And I hate walking in and seeing a trough, too. It's very rare that that happens. Why not just put a salt lick in there, too? We're just going to sit here and look at each other's dongs while we're doing this here. That's what Pornhub's for.

Hey, that's a nice pecker, buddy. Real quick, a couple of calls. Our buddy Ra is on the line. Let's go to him. Casey, have the music or the clip ready, please. It's Ra. There he is. Hey, Ra, what's up, man? I hate you. I hate you more than anything in this damn world. Well done, man. Excellent, Ra. All right, so you've got a complete different take on the toilet paper setup.

You guys are all wrong. Sadly, sadly. I have more faith in you. I'm a free hand, free holder. You know, I hold the role.

Put your fingers in the little hole. That's what it's for. Right. Of the roll. Not yourself. Of the hole. Of the roll. Okay. And then you wind your hand around and wind a little bit and, you know, take as much as you need. Okay. And then put it on a... Because sometimes I've seen toilet paper rolls that are, like, not, you know, adequately placed. Like, you know, the bathroom is like an afterthought or whatever, so the roll, the thing is too high or it's too far back. Your arm doesn't go back. You know, get it, you know...

properly. So no, I just put it on top of the tank. When I need it, I reach and get it and do my thing. I guess you're using more toilet paper than you probably need to, A. And then B, at some point, it's like paper machining your hand, right? Because you're wrapping it around. You're like doing a little mummy thing every time you wipe.

Well, I don't put my whole hand in there. You know, you put it around the two fingers, you know? I'm not a deep-cheeked guy. I don't have deep cheeks. Is that a DC? Does anyone else live in your household or are you solo?

I am solo, sir. And I would, if I were solo, I would do the same thing. Yeah. I would absolutely do the same thing. We grew up that way, though. Yeah. Oh, you did? Okay. And also, I just want to say, a toilet paper conversation being asinine is very appropriate. Yes, absolutely. It's extremely appropriate. Hey, the rest of the family, do they have deep cheeks or are they shallow-cheeked?

We will see you on another time. Okay, thanks, Rob. Appreciate it. And Steve, we have a convert. Let me go to them. We're going to move on to something else after this. I have Steve on the phone. Hey, Steve, good morning. Hey, good morning, guys. Hey, bud. So you've come around to something you wanted to tell us about. Yes. Well, first, my argument for toilet paper on which way the roll goes, if you get a printed pattern, you've got to go over the top. No question. For display purposes? Yes.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. That makes sense, I guess. For ambience. But as far as the toilet paper itself, Steve, you inspired me. Yes. A couple of days ago, I took your word and went out and bought myself a bidet. Oh, my God. The greatest thing since sliced toilet paper. Isn't it wonderful?

Everybody loves it. I've yet to hear from someone who goes, I didn't really care for it. I'm sure they're out there. But everybody who's bought one that we've heard from, they're like, greatest thing ever. It sort of changes things, doesn't it? Especially if you're rocking some swamp ass and you have to really clean up well, but you don't want to step into the shower and drop trowel and do all that stuff. You can take care of your business right there at the bidet.

Yep, no matter which way the roll's on the holder, it doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. You can become very cavalier with a bidet. All right, Case. The last thing I'm going to make a note of is when you go to a hotel or whatever and you get the toilet paper where the cleaning staff will... Fold it. Fold it. I love it. It's always...

For display. No, no, you're absolutely right about that. For a little while, we bought the little stickers that you put on the toilet. And just for fun, we had those and we would put them on there. And yeah, you had to do that because you had to fold it over the top and make the little triangles with the little sticker on there. By the way, you're not in the minority at all, Casey and Nick. Survey shows 70% of people

prefer the over position. Okay. So it is definitely in your favor. But this is a scientist saying that if you want to get all funky about germs and whatnot, that the way to do it is the other way around the back. Yes. I'm not really sure who in my household is doing it the other way. How about a camera? Yeah. A camera in the bathroom. Sell what you don't use, Abel. No. So what is your...

When you guys use Q-tips, do you throw them in the trash when you're done? Yes. Yes. Why? Crazy, right? It's a big debate in my household. So you've been flushing them? No, no, no. Sometimes you just leave them on the counter. Oh, yeah. I love those waxy... Oh, it's the best. The yellow tips on them? Sure. You have so many things going on. I wouldn't fault you...

If you were to go postal at home. And no one admits who's doing it? Here's who I know it's not. I know it's not me. I know it's not my wife. Okay. And I know it's not my mom.

Alright, so it's Seamus or Avery. At least three of them. What if it is your mom trying to frame someone in the house? Now, also, I never liked Avery. This was happening while my oldest was away at college, so now it's down to two. I think you need to sweat him out. Sweat that son of a bitch. We know who it is, right? It's Seamus. It's Avery. It's Avery? Really? Dude.

Have you seen the years? Yeah. She's perfect, right? She's so perfect. There's something off. That's her rebellion. That's her rebellion. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. All right. Well, we're moving on. We're going to the laundry section of the store for a moment. They actually sell laundry. So if you find a dryer sheet in your mailbox...

Don't throw it out. I've never heard of this before. You don't send dryer sheets to friends and family occasionally? Listen to this. It's not garbage. It's WASP warfare. Postal workers. Yes. I've heard this. Want their customers to know that they're stashing scented sheets inside mailboxes to fend off yellow jackets. And it's effective. That love dark, cozy spaces. If there is a mail person...

That is listening that can concur with this or to let us know that you have either done this before or heard of this, feel free to call us, 610-660-9333 is the number. It turns out, according to this article, that wasps hate the smell of dryer sheets. So this makes sense. I remember years ago, a neighbor had a kind of one of those decorative little, looks like a little cottage thing.

mailboxes, that thing had a rocking hive in it. Okay, so that's interesting because where my swim spa is, I noticed that there was a wasp that was coming from behind the panel of the swim spa. And then, so you have a hot tub, so same thing. Up in the soffit right around where my garage is. What's a soffit?

It's like a dig for. It's like a dig for. No, it's like an underhang. Overhang or underhang. Okay. I'm just not familiar with that term. Yeah. So I see wasps coming out of there. So I'm going to chuck some dryer sheets in there. So this is by your swim spot? Uh-huh. Is it because it's close to the water? Do you think? No.

No, Steve, because the panels have little slots and they can get in and these insects, these bugs, whatever you want to call wasps, they like to crawl into small areas and spots that they can... I had them under my diving board. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I set it on fire.

That was fun. Did you buy the thing for the carpenter bees? A little accident there. I did. I bought the carpenter bee traps. Yeah. But I also, we had the area sprayed for them, but I just wanted to double up, and I bought the traps so I haven't caught any. The one problem is the carpenter bees, the music they make is so wonderful. Uh-huh. You know? Yeah. Don't you remember you told me you love me, baby? So, what the hell is this? This is the Fun Fun Fun by the Carpenters. Oh, by the Carpenters? Yeah. Yeah.

I didn't know they did a version of this. We happen to have this in our system? I have to hear it now. Okay, hang on. We had to hunt down Gino Vanelli. Well, she got her daddy's car and she cruised to the hamburger stand. Why? Oh, my God. Yeah, of course they made it. Sound even more nerdy. It's horrible.

She's like, I can do way more than this, guys. So anyhow, yes, apparently this is a good way to avoid wasps congregating. Oh, I want to hear if that's effective. In an area or not. Let me see. I'm going to go to Kevin. It's a male carrier. Hi, Kevin. You're on the air. Good morning.

Kevin, can you hear me, sir? Yes, I can hear you now. What's up, Kev? How's it going? Good. Now that we got our pleasantries out of the way, what did you want to tell us, bud? Wow, that is the longest delay I've ever heard in a phone call. I think he's having trouble hearing us. I think so, too. Kev, we're going to have to let you go, bud. How do they do it in Dubai? Let me go to Lee, who is a former mail carrier. Hi, Lee. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Hey, what's up, Lee?

Well, you're talking about the dryer sheets, and I thought I just had to give you some input on that. Go ahead.

Well, yeah, I used to use them as a mail carrier. We would either put them in your pocket if you were walking around. You could put them in the mailbox. We would even wipe them around the window. So you would, and you and other people that you've heard of, would carry some around just in case you came across some wasps and wanted to get them out of the area, especially if it was in a mailbox, something you were going to be touching regularly. Right.

Yes, and I have been attacked by them. So reaching into a mailbox? I don't have any in there. So you've reached into a mailbox and found bees or wasps inside them? Oh, yeah. I ended up with a claw. My hand had so many stings on it. Oh, wow. Wow, okay. You ended up with a claw? Is that what you said?

That's what it looked like. Like liar, liar. All right. So that's a so so people will will do this. Is it standard procedure for, you know, mail carriers to have some dryer sheets with them?

Not really. No, it's not standard, but it's done. Listen, if I was doing this, I would certainly bring dryer sheets if it's effective. We're getting a bunch of texts from people saying that this one says my mom is allergic to bees, so we've used dryer sheets at picnics. It keeps the bees away from the table. We used dryer sheets a few weeks ago to prevent ants from congregating in the mailbox. And somebody says they're also good for mosquito prevention.

Do we know what the active ingredient is in a dryer sheet that would repel insects this way? I think it's just the smell. Yeah, but that's interesting. I like the way it smells. And I'm wondering how long something like that, how long it's good for, you know what I mean? If you can just leave it in there for the season. It's like a dick fur. What's a dick fur? Yeah, peeing.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So it says here at the end of this article, it says, so give your mail carrier a break and let the lavender do its thing. So in other words, they're asking you not to remove them if your mail carrier has put one in your mailbox. Yeah, but I'm wondering if lavender. I love that smell. Is part of the repellent. Smells like a spa. Yeah.

Yeah, and we've got a few lavender plants growing around our house. I wonder if they are repellent to insects. Yeah, that's a good question. Because that's the best of both worlds. I love the lavender smell. All right, so if you see a dryer sheet somewhere randomly, it may be your mail carrier that has put that out there. That's why there never be bees in your dryer. Yeah, exactly. All right, do we have to wrap it up? Hey, mister. What are we doing? Come on.

All right, one more. This was, it was just in time for Father's Day, which we had over the weekend yesterday. New research reveals the TV dads that Americans love the most. Roku polled hundreds of users.

to find out which small screen fathers are their favorites around. And if anybody want to guess what number one is? Well, it's no longer Cosby anymore. What the hell happened? Yeah, it's not Cosby. You have nine or ten indiscretions involving drugs. He was considered America's dad for a long time.

So what did they do? For a long time. Did they miss something? But clearly that's not him. It's an interesting... Benadryl, that's what did it. There's a couple different categories. You have the overall top TV dads. You have the top vintage TV dads and the top modern TV dads. So I'm curious for this. Anyone come to mind for you? You're looking at the list right now. Who would you place at the top of the list? I don't know. Reginald Vell Johnson from Family Matters. Okay. Yeah, I was wondering if Uncle Phil was in there.

But he was an uncle. He was a dad, too. He was a dad, as well. He wanted a dad who would, you know... I got to go, like, classic, like, Mr. Keaton from Family Ties. And I was also thinking of Full House Dads. What about Mr. C.?

Oh, yeah, if you want to go back a ways. Earlier, the earlier Happy Days episodes, he got more time to be a thoughtful dad. I remember the episode where he went and won back money in a poker game. You remember that, Preston? Yeah, that was a good one. It was a good one. You know what was really good? And it goes way back, but we can watch it on MeTV. Ward Cleaver, leave it to Beaver. Yeah, I like Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. He's a good dad.

Yes. I'm going to reveal these to you because some of them are kind of surprising because they're not all the ones who hit the top spots are not necessarily what you would call good dads. Is it like Walter White? No, not Walter White, but the top TV dad's overall number one is Tim Taylor, Home Improvement. You know, I was going to say that and I didn't. And he was a good, the character was a great dad. Yeah.

uh he was you know he was the goofball but he was also he had great advice he always you want that great advice yeah number two gomez adams of the adams family gomez adams was a loving father would do anything for his kids always looked out for him he was just quirky yeah uh number three al bundy there you go al bundy it was terrible yeah i mean he was designed to be reprehensible all right here's one uh

Red Foreman from that 70s show is number four on the list. The guy who coined the phrase dumbass? And then number five is Phil Dunphy. There you go. Wow, so Al Bundy's in there twice. Yep. All right, now on... Wait, where's Al Bundy? Because he was Al Bundy and then Phil Dunphy. He's not Phil Dunphy. That guy's name. I forget his name. It's the same guy. Ed O'Neill's not the same character. Not the same guy. He's in Modern Family, but he's not Phil Dunphy. All right, who's his character in Modern Family? Jay Pritchard. That's it. Oh.

All right. On the vintage TV dads, number one was Tim Taylor. Number two, Gomez Adams. Number three, Al Bundy. Number four, Mike Brady. Mr. Brady. Oh, my God. My favorite is Gary Cole as him.

When he would offer up advice. Right. You know, when you tattle on yourself, when you tattle on other people, you're tattling on yourself. It was so quintessential Mike Brady. Number five is Homer Simpson. Yeah. Homer Simpson. Yep. He loves his family. And then top modern dads. Number one was Red Foreman of that 70s show. Really? Two is Phil Dunphy from Modern Family. Three, Hank Hill from King of the Hill. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

Number four is Jack Pearson from This Is Us. Okay, everyone loves this show. Kathy was into that show. And number five is George Lopez.

As far as the... I think there's some other better fathers out there. Vintage TV, or modern TV dads. Yeah. But that was from Roku. The viewers were quizzed on that. If you just were wondering, I thought I'd pass that along to you. Why not me? Yeah, because we've done that. All right.

We got a closed up shop because we have other things to get to this morning. And in fact, you know what I didn't announce? What? Is a new big friggin' deal that we have. And this is awesome.

Brought to you by Pro Team Collision. If you find yourself in an accident, trust the pros at Pro Team Collision. Your trusted auto body repair shop located in King of Prussia. You can go to proteamcollision.com. A museum has urged visitors to respect art after a tourist sat on a chair covered in crystals and shattered it.

The so-called Van Gogh chair, named after the legendary Dutch artist, was housed at Palazzo Maffei, an art gallery in Verona, northern Italy. Footage captured a couple posing for pictures around the chair after waiting for the security guard to leave. The woman pretends to sit down before the man exits.

actually places his weight on the seat and then it promptly breaks. You know, you watch the footage, you know it's going to happen. And when it happens, you still gasp. The pair dash out of the room, leaving the artwork in pieces on the floor. The chair designed by Italian artist Nicola Bolla was studded with Swarovski crystals.

Palazzo Maffei had shared the footage on Facebook describing the act as an irresponsible gesture. The museum said that despite uncertainty over whether the fragile chair could be restored, they had managed to repair it. You put your fat ass down on the chair, you break it. And they said in a statement, a heartfelt thank you goes to the police, our security department and the restorers.

whose valuable work enabled the recovery of the piece. And a special thank you to all those who walk through the museum halls every day with care, attention, and wonder. Because we've had so many stories like this. Maybe the world of art restoration is a growing industry. It might very well be.

All right, there is a roar heard throughout Kings Island, the amusement park in Mason, Ohio. But it isn't just from the crowds and the roller coasters. Cicadas from Brood 14 have made their way to the surface this summer. The area outside of Kings Island almost...

Every tree is covered with cicadas. Their song can be heard from all around. And over the weekend, several people shared their experiences on TikTok of cicadas joining them at Kings Island. And they have gotten to the extent that the park has released a statement telling people on the rides...

Keep your mouth closed. Oh, no. Sorry. No. I'm not going to swallow a cicada. Yep. And they say the song does sound a lot like Gino Vannelli, Preston. No way. Yes. Wow. Well, it's perfect timing because it's his birthday today, believe it or not. Cicadas. Yeah. They come out, you know, every, what, Saturday?

Well, this brood came out 14 years. 14 years. I'm sorry, no, brood 14. I think it's every 18 years. Okay, so every time Gina Vanelli has a hit. Yeah. So, yeah, they're actually telling people, keep your mouth closed. What's the biggest bug you ever swallowed? Oh, dude. It's been a fly for me. I don't know. Something like that. I've never had a big one. It's the worst. It's like a June bug. The timing of Israel's plan to attack Iran...

What? What?

claiming to offer hot intel on late night activity spikes at the U.S. military headquarters. Is that wild? The account called Pentagon Pizza Report posted Thursday. As of 6.59 p.m. Eastern Time, nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a huge surge in activity.

not confining its analysis to pizza. The account also noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night and said this probably pointed to a busy night at the Pentagon. While far from scientific, the Pentagon pizza theory is not something the internet just made up. The takeout

An online site covering restaurants and food trends noted earlier this year. Pentagon adjacent pizza joints also got much busier than usual during Israel's 2024 missile strike on Iran. It said, as there are a multitude of fast food restaurants in the Pentagon complex,

But there are no pizza places inside the Pentagon complex. So you're saying if you want to be apprised early of geopolitical conflicts, turn to the gay pizza eater. Well, I don't know about the gay pizza eater, but the pizza deliveries to the Pentagon reportedly doubled.

right before the U.S. invasion of Panama in December 1989 and surged again before Operation Desert Storm in 1991. That's pretty fascinating. They don't have a pizza joint in the Pentagon, so they have to order from everywhere else around there. Doesn't Irvine have a place in the Pentagon? He did, if I remember correctly. We should tell him to serve pizza. A Blair County man faces charges after he allegedly blew up a toilet in a Pittsburgh casino.

Jeremy Hartman. Did he blow it up or blow it up? No, no, no. He blew it up. I know what you're thinking. But yeah, he actually, it exploded. Jeremy Hartman was in the Rivers Casino at about 540 a.m. Sunday when he was taken into custody by Casino Security for trespassing in a closed restaurant and trying to steal bottles of alcohol worth up to $4,000. As officers were taking him to a secure area...

He asked to use the restroom and was given permission to use an employee restroom. Hartman is accused of lighting a commercial-grade firework and putting it in the toilet.

The resulting explosion injured a casino employee who was in the restroom. The worker was treated for minor injuries. When police found Hartman's vehicle in the casino garage, they discovered more fireworks and called the bomb squad and canine unit to conduct sweeps of the garage and the casino. No additional explosives were discovered. He was arraigned Sunday morning on two felony charges of arson. I'll have whatever he had. And that...

Is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning, friend. All right, we are going to take a break. We just gave away some Hershey Park tickets. There will be more of those through the course of the morning. Four packs of tickets for our live broadcast coming up on the 26th. We're also going to have Phil Rosenthal from Somebody Feed Phil joining us in the 9 o'clock hour. We'll take a quick break and come back in a moment, so stay with us. YouTube? Yep, we're there too. Watch the Preston and Steve show live every morning. Or...

and see what you missed. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. So, this weekend, Steve got to live out Casey's fantasy. The truth be told, it was my fantasy as well, more my wife Claire's fantasy, but we got to swim with otters. Swim with otters? Swim with otters. Technically not swimming, standing in a pool. Yeah. But...

And I thought, so it was at a place called Coastal Wilds in Frankfurt, Delaware, which I had not heard of Frankfurt, Delaware. But Coastal Wilds is the name of the place, and they have otters, kangaroos, capybaras, camels, sloths. It's this whole, it's sort of a zoo-ish kind of vibe. Really well done, but the highlight is swimming with otters. And they have their...

They said were the smallest. They're Asian soft. Let me get it correct here. Asian small clawed otters. So they but Preston, you figure when you go to these things, OK, you get in. It's going to be the otters over there. And these things were all.

All of us. It was amazing. And you're in an above ground pool. There are about five or six other people. And it was wild. It exceeded my expectations. It sounds similar to if you go and you do this experience with rays. With, you know, stingrays. Right, right. And you're like, oh my, these things are all over me. It's wild. So it was one of those things where you were hoping for that. But I think always you figure, okay, they're going to go...

These things are effing adorable. I've always loved otters. Do you feed them? No, you don't feed them. Okay. No, no. So these are freshwater otters. So you're in the pool. The pool is an above ground pool. It was a little chilly. So, you know, everyone kind of had like swim shirts and stuff like that.

But when they come in, they're like zipping around. And two of them actually went under my shirt. And I had them under my shirt, going around my back. But the thing is, I'm like, what kind of claws these things have? I didn't feel any claws at all. Their nails don't extend out far at all. Small clawed versions. Small clawed versions. Now, apparently, the Amazonian...

river otter can be six feet long. Oh, wow. It's a big mother. But these guys were everything you wanted the otters to be. And so for the experience, you're in the pool for about 45 minutes and you go out to the deck area and they move around you. But they're doing the otter sounds. My wife, Claire, was just...

going to have a seizure she was having such a good time. Because they are very interactive. There are things floating in the pool that they jump up on. They're jumping on my shoulders. She was wearing glasses and it was amazing because...

They were going for anything that was hanging, anything that could be grabbed. They were apparently like little kids. There was a tether hanging off a towel that was over the fence. They go running out to grab it. But they were avoiding Claire's glasses. And then after, she goes, that's amazing. They're not going for my glasses. Well, they must have heard that because we had a picture of them. They come running over and they're all like pulling on her glasses. They're like, oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's it. Here's a shot right now where they're trying to take her glasses off.

But they were wonderful, soft, and their ability, their maneuverability in the water is astonishing because they're going in and out of my legs and around the ankles. Yeah.

Listen, you see these things all the time in nature documentaries. And look at them. They're so adorable. Yeah, they are. They're awesome. Yeah, they kind of became my favorite animal when I was in college. I had like a little stuffed little river otter. I love the way that they grab a little rock and they put it on their chest. Right. You know, and they're so smart. Yeah, they're opening the abalone. The ocean. Otters will do that. Yeah. I don't know about the river ones, but they do look adorable. These are, again, very affectionate. Well, to whatever I'm perceiving as affection. I mean...

They're playful. They punch a clock and go, do they like that? Well, listen, if you're not feeding them food and they're still that affectionate to you, you know what I mean? That just seems to me like the cute little playful animals. They're really wonderful. Everything you'd want, Casey, you need to do this. Oh, I will do this. It's about two hours from here in Ballot Kenwood. Travel time in general, the area, about two hours and 20 minutes. Well, if I was down the shore, I could hop on the ferry, be over in Lewis, Delaware in about 45 minutes, and then it's like a half hour or 40 minutes from there. Yeah.

I could do that easily. My friend Courtney and I from college, we send each other otter videos all the time. I need to take her to see this. So we got footage and video. And you can bring, if you have a waterproof phone or a case, you can do that. They'll do the video and pictures for you as well. But they also had, again, the capybara, which I... So that's why I want to jump in here, because that is a new favorite animal in my head.

The capybara. I just watched videos yesterday. Apparently, these things are untouchable. They will go into crocodile-infested waters and the crocs are like, that's cool, just let them go. Yeah, they just let them go. So what happened was we go into that enclosure. By the way, everyone who runs the tour is very knowledgeable. They're clearly going to school for this. They specialize in certain animals that they have. But the capybara...

is, you know, it's the world's largest rodent, I believe. And so the, we do like a semicircle and everyone has food and the capybara like knows like, oh, showtime starts coming from person to person and you feed it and it's,

When you touch their fur, their fur would be sort of porcupine-ish. But the kangaroos you get to pet, and the kangaroos are incredibly soft, almost chinchilla-esque. But it was a wonderful experience. Again, you don't like to go to these places and feel like the animals are being mistreated. They are not. They're really well taken care of. And it's one of those really out-of-the-way, little-known, I would imagine, places.

things to visit. Again, it's Coastal Wilds. It's in Frankfurt, Delaware. How'd you guys find it? Claire had found out about it. It's been on her bucket list for about a year, a year and a half. And she's just crazy for this stuff. So we figured we'd tie it in with my birthday weekend and we went and did it. And don't regret it. If you're any fan, they give you, and the sloths. She got to feed the sloths. Dude, I love sloths as well. And they're so, Preston,

They're so, as every cartoon has ever depicted them, when you see them, they're coming out to eat, slowly the claw coming out. They're apparently hungry, but they're like slowly moving across. And then you hold the food and they look at you like...

Okay, I don't mind if I do. And it's all very slow but beautiful and they are everything you want them to be. So at an interaction level, it's wonderful. So when I got to go behind the scenes at Six Flags with the water show that they do with the dolphins and the seals and I was blown away with how fishy seals smelled. Yeah.

Are otters, are they fishy smelling? No, not at all. In fact, very soft, no smell. The pool is very well maintained. And again, the experience, if you're an otter fan at all, or if you want to pet a kangaroo, or you want to see a sloth, or a capybara, or some kangaroos and stuff, it's well worth your time. And you can buy different packages. And it's, again, clean, well run. I give it a thumbs up.

Nice. Nice. Good for you. That's awesome. Are you a fan of...

otters and stuff like that. Oh, I think they're adorable. I mean, I first saw one in the wild when I was a kid in Carmel. My uncle was there. And so they're native to that area. And there was this pier that we would go out in and just sit there and watch them. And Casey, yeah, they would bring the abalones up with the stone and they would crack them on top of that. And yeah, they were really, really cool. I thought they were awesome. The sea otters actually have, they'll have a flap or almost like a little area where they will store their favorite rock.

Really? For to use? Yes, yes. That's my smashing rock. Yeah, that's their smashing rock. Get out. So yes, they sort of hide it or fold it into the skin of their body and keep it with them. I thought that was adorable. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, and we've done the up-close experience a couple times. Like I said, over at Adventure Aquarium, the swim with the sharks, they also have the Ray tank too. Great stuff. And we did that in Florida as well with the Rays because-

I'll never forget my wife's cousin was just freaking out because this thing was coming up and flapping right up in his face. He's like, oh my God! Did you ever do the swim with the dolphins? No, I've never done the dolphin experience. That would be really cool. That is pretty amazing. I did that. I want to do the kind where they go up under your feet and they propel you forward. So we had that. Actually, we held on to the dorsal.

I believe is what we did. If I'm recalling correctly, this was in Bermuda. But you're talking about where they push you on your feet with their nose. I think that takes a little practice and skill, I would imagine, to be able to get to do that. There's something, though, when something's in the water. Now, otters really are not threatening. But I mean, when something's the size of a dolphin, no matter how much you love them, it's like... I don't know, dude. Remember, I've had a lot of bizarre file stories of otters attacking people and coming out and being really hurt.

You know, I mean, in the wild, if they're in protective mode, they can really hurt you. Yeah, they're animals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, without question. Well, it's cool that you guys went and did that. I saw this article that kind of ties in a little bit to this, and it is...

essentially an expert saying it's a happiness expert saying spending money on certain things can make you happier. And one of them ties in with your otter experience, Steve. Oh, really? Uh, yes. In that, and this is, uh, according to the happiness researcher, her name is Jessica, uh, wise. Uh,

um it says that the saying money can't buy happiness uh isn't really true some people say but science backs her up saying that it can every pimp will tell you that yeah it can buy happiness but only some purchases trigger it uh but you got to be strategic about your splurging she says that you shouldn't feel guilty about spending money on these eight

because it will boost your happiness in the long run. So I love this list already because I think sometimes, and Dr. Mike is always a proponent of this, and we're not talking a lot, you know, obviously, I took a private jet to Tokyo. Yes, of course, you're going to enjoy that.

But if you're looking for things that make you legitimately happy, you know, they can be different and don't necessarily involve breaking the bank. Yeah, so one of them is novel experiences like this, Steve. This type of thing, unique experiences that you can go out and take advantage of. And the expert says our brains love new experiences which trigger the release of dopamine. And when we do them with friends, neuroscience shows that it supercharges the happiness effect.

So the fact that you and Claire went and got to do this together and only, you know, makes your bond even stronger. You have this thing in common, this really cool experience that you did. So it's worth the money. You know those times, you know, with your wife, you know, and you both sort of find each other again and you have a good, this was one of those where we just had a blast together, which was terrific.

Live music is on this list as well. We were just talking about traveling for concerts. Going to a concert and belting out your favorite songs with thousands of strangers can be true. Mood boosting experience. Singing together releases oxytocin. Casey, don't the otters have a jug band? Yes, they do. The bonding hormone and endorphins that create a buzzy feeling of connection in the crowd that's known as collective effervescence. I like the sound of that.

Yeah, it's coming. Trust me, he's working on it. Researchers also show that the group singing lowers cortisol levels and creates a feeling of belonging that can last long after the end of the show. So to that point, I remember one of the greatest experiences of my life was standing out on the lawn. I think it was at the tweeter center then, or I don't know what it was.

but whatever, it's 900 iterations for that Tom Petty concert surrounded by people standing up. I recall it all the time on the show because it was that good. Everyone singing in unison to a songbook that everyone loved and it was a wonderful, magical experience. Yeah, that's another. When you go to a show that is filled with

With hit songs that everybody knows. Everybody at some point is just singing together. It's really awesome. It makes you feel good. Yep. All right. Other things you should... Hold on. Cut off at the beginning.

That's Otter singing. That's some harmonies right there. Well, it's not just Otter. It's Otter. There's a weasel in there, I think. Maybe a fox. I think it's a fox.

Then go swim with the weasels. Go swim with the weasels. They're dead. So other things you can spend money on that are going to make you happy are, it says, time-saving purchases. Treating yourself to a meal delivery service or a house cleaner is more of a mental health investment than a luxury. I wonder if that, for people who haven't, that notion of, say, you know what?

You hire someone to do a little house cleaning for you for a session. They're not that expensive, some of the services. Right. You know, and if like Arnold, actually Arnold Schwarzenegger slept with his house. So it could be a win win. Yeah. Has a son that he's very proud of.

Right? If you can't afford it regularly, then yes, Steve, maybe as a gift or as a special occasion. Think about that. If your mother or somebody or whoever, his birthday, a house cleaner for an afternoon or a day. Or for sex. Like I said, food and meal delivery services as well, not that long ago. I told you guys I never use Door to Ash or any of those things. But the other day,

I did, on a rare occasion. I'm just like, I don't feel like going anywhere. Was it a little rush, a little happiness? Yeah, it was expensive, but it was like, okay, yeah. I'm glad I didn't spend the hour that it would have taken to drive all the way to the place, get it, and drive back. Right, right. And there were other things I needed to do, so it was a time saver. But that one can, on occasion, be something that makes you feel a little bit better. Do you have...

Do you have trouble splurging on yourself? Yes. Yeah. Actually, yeah, I do. I will hand ring, especially if it's something like, I remember a few years ago, I wanted to buy what's called a cocktail drum kit. It's a smaller size drum kit. It's easy to transport. Everything is smaller about it.

And I was like, I was going back and forth of, man, is it worth it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could put this money to here and there. And I eventually pulled the trigger on it. And I don't know why I beat myself up

over waiting to get it when I knew eventually I was going to get it. But I do, like when it's time for things that are part of my leisure activity that are not inexpensive, like golf, like getting new golf clubs and things like that, like I really sweat over it. Is this worth it? Man, do I really need to? You're doing what I do. You force yourself to pay penance before you get it. Yes. Yeah. That's kind of what it is, Steve. Yeah.

All right, some other things that you can spend on that might actually make you happier in the long run. According to this happiness expert, activities that boost your relationships.

So Harvard researchers have spent more than 80 years studying people and found close relationships predict happiness better than money, fame, or genetics. So going to dinner with friends or buying a plane ticket to visit your sister is like a deposit on your emotional retirement account, according to this. So, yeah.

So you can go ahead and as long as it's about boosting your relationship, it's about firming that up. Or perhaps the joy of breaking up with somebody or going to someone's house to tell them you can't stand them. Maybe that's a rush. I've always hated you. Preston, what are you doing here? I hate your guts. I wanted to fly here in person to let you know. Now where's the closest golf course? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, there is golf around here, right? All right.

Being generous to others is another one. According to the expert, our brain's reward systems activates more intensely when we spend on others rather than ourselves. Known as the helper's high. It's that warm rush that you feel when you treat a bestie to lunch or donate to a cause that you care about. I think that speaks to just about everyone. Right? I mean...

We saw it on Thursday and Friday. People making donations, feeling good about doing that at the blood drive. That's a palpable thing that you can take pride in but feel good about as well. That experience, Nick, to expand on that, to be with the people who support us and listen to the show, friends and family is what we consider you, and to be out there.

in those experiences is so wonderful. And then to hear stories about how we might, without knowing it, figure into people's lives is an honor like you can't imagine. Yeah, it looked awesome on Friday. The activation areas with the bird bot and whatever else. The only thing that went wrong on Friday was the munchkin toss. Yeah, man. I had to bring that up. I was tossing and turning. And I also did learn one thing. What? A munchkin launched from that distance. Wow.

Yeah, you were getting nailed. I was standing 50 yards away from you, and I could hear it hit your head. Casey was firing them. I think Casey actually had some good shots that I misjudged. I mean, though, I was getting all around my face. I got a number of forehead hits, no problem. It's almost like a beginning porn star. I have an idea. Next year, let's use golf balls. Golf balls.

And you can drive them. It won't stick to my fingers as much. I'll use my 58-degree wedge, Steve. They'll go nice and high. Sure, yeah. A nice arc. I'll lob them to you.

All right, so other things you can do as far as spending goes that is actually good for you. It says the small joys. Our brains' pleasure systems like several small hits more than one big one. So buying a $4 coffee twice a week brings more total than one $400, more joy than one $400 splurge. Can you buy an $8 coffee once? You're crazy.

Maybe. Yeah. You mentioned if it sucks. No, that's the road to disaster. Oh, dude. If I ate $100 coffee and it was terrible. No, listen, I've purchased like high quality coffees before and it's just not my taste. Yeah, it's like spending $100 on a steak. Totally. Is it that much better? Yeah. It's

Although, ma'am, for my son's 21st birthday, Parker, we're like, you can get whatever you want on the menu. And of course, he ordered this Wagyu filet that was like over $100 for one. And

And my buddy, I think it was Steve that pointed, or maybe it was Will that pointed, he's like, man, I watched Parker wolf that thing down in like 35 seconds. Like, didn't take the time to savor that money that he just dowered it. When the hyena next to you says, take your time. It was like, man.

All right, here's another one. Counterintuitive challenges. Things like cold water plunges and mastering difficult skills known as earned pleasures can create long-term satisfaction. So I'm dabbling with spinal surgery. On yourself or other people? I wouldn't do it to someone else until I got good at it. That's how it starts, though. But then you get the bug. Yeah.

By the way, speaking of the cold water plunge, I saw in our elevator. By the way, our elevator has this little screen. Yeah, yeah. And it has short little news stories that flash up for like 15 seconds.

And sometimes we learn things in the elevator. And I have not followed this up whatsoever. But I saw something about the effects of the cold water plunge is actually counterproductive when it comes to healing for your muscles and so on. I would see. I would. So.

You use mineral ice on... Yes. But I would think for healing, if you're slowing down blood flow... You want to increase blood flow. You want to increase blood flow, right? But I always thought that... For inflammation, though. Yeah. Cold is really good for that. Right. But for healing process... If you want to increase blood flow in order to promote healing...

Cocaine? Would that... I think that's what most doctors recommend. Mainlining. Any sort of narcotic, any amphetamine. You know, and Presley just raised the notion of what if we were to see, like run the movie Napoleon in the elevator, how long would it take...

to watch an entire movie. How many rides? Up and down to the fourth floor. Is it like 30 seconds? I'm 31 minutes and 12 seconds into Napoleon. That's a good question. Is there volume? Can you hear anything? I don't think so. So you put the closed caption on. By volume I meant audio.

Yes. Yeah, okay. I understood what you meant. There is no volume in the elevator. The words were not flowing very well for me. By the way, I can't hear you in this elevator. Apparently, there's no audio. Was that movie any good? Oh, okay. No, and I watched the longer version. Oh, wow. Good for you. Yeah. Everyone said it was better. I'm like...

Not quite. I prefer Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Same thing. Yeah. Well, they get to go to where they eat the whale. What was the name of the... Ziggy Piggy, whatever. Ziggy Piggy. I think, was that the name of the... What's the name of the dish he has to eat? It wasn't the whale, was it? No. No, I can't remember. All right, well, anyway. Somebody will figure it out. We could go on forever about this.

He ate the whole thing, man. All right. One last piece of advice from this happiness expert on spending on these things making you happy. It says, making plans in advance.

Having something fun to look forward to creates what Wise calls, and that's the expert, calls a happiness triple play. Anticipation, joy, wait, anticipation, joy, experience, joy, and memory, joy. So I'm tacitly now an expert on this because of my auto experience. We put that in the calendar. Claire and I have decided to have tangible dates planned.

things that we want to do to look forward to. Yeah. Because, Nick, you as a planner, I know Casey, you do, all of you. I'm a big time planner. Everyone does it. And part of that is, so it might seem to some, oh, that's the nuts and bolts part. It's arduous. No, that's actually an exciting part. Yes. About laying out those things and looking forward to it. No, I just found out about this. Like Dr. Mike and I will often discuss this.

It's the hunt. It's the gathering of the information. It's, oh, you can do this. That's part of it. That's part of it. That's part of the experience, I think. Yeah, it is part of the experience. I love looking at a map when I'm thinking about traveling and like, where can I go? What's doable? What, you know, how to plan all of it. And so, yeah, it's the anticipation in advance, then the enjoyment while you're on vacation. And for me, it's like travel and vacation are one and the same. And then the recollection of it afterwards, looking back on pictures or experiences, you know, talking about it. That's why I love it so much. Agreed. The only thing that...

When it comes to planning the details, Nick, especially if I'm doing something for the family, we're all going to go do this together. If you're planning your summer vacation, is that what am I missing? What am I not finding? There's got to be some better things out here that I am not privy to. And that's why sometimes travel agents can help you out with that because they have the inside track on that stuff. But there comes a time when I do get burnt out.

And YouTube is a great resource. But my God, if you punch in, I'm going to Copenhagen or whatever, and there's like 50

50 videos that come up. I'll tell you the things to do. And one is saying, hey, make sure you don't miss this. And the other one's going, don't go do that. Right. You know what I mean? And that's when I start going, damn it. Yeah. Which is why you have to like, just kind of figure it out on your own. You know, there's only so much guidance you can get or, you know, guidebooks you can read or whatever. We did, we had one this past weekend. We had a family reunion and it took a lot of planning and a lot of effort. And my aunt Susan was the host for all of it. But there were a lot of moving parts because people were coming from all over the country and, you know,

It could not have gone any better. And the work that went into it was all worthwhile. And there were so many moments of joy because of the work that people put in to get together this weekend. And to me, that was exactly what you're talking about. That's what you wanted. Let me ask you, would you have the courage, talking about Matt, because at home we have one of those decorative sort of Magellan-esque old-style maps, but Claire places pins in places that she's gone to, and there's different colors for where she wants to go. Would you ever...

risk throwing a dart into a map and go there. Most definitely. In fact, Rochelle and I absolutely, without question, want to do one of these mystery trips where you reach out. It's a travel group, travel agents, and they do this specifically

You tell them the types of activities you like and don't like. Warm weather, cold weather, blah, blah, blah, things like that. They compile this information, and then they send you on a trip. You don't know where you're going until you get to the airport. You get all the information sent to you. When you arrive, you open up the envelope, and then they say, hey, you're going to Savannah, Georgia. And you're going to eat at these restaurants, and you're going to do these activities, and you're going to stay here, and here's where music is. I love it.

Do you have a service in mind that you were thinking of using? Yeah, well, I narrowed it down. If we were going to do it and then COVID happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, you're staying home. Then we put it off for five some odd years. But there were a couple of them I narrowed down. I went on YouTube and I found... And I also went on TripAdvisor and found ones that were highly...

ranked. Yeah. And yeah, but I don't, I've got it saved in my bookmarks at home, so I couldn't tell you the name of it, but there's a couple of them that I would be very much, Steve, I wouldn't mind the throwing the dart thing. A little risky? It's a little risky because I mean, you know, I

I could end up in... Yeah. Yemen. Now, do you mean just landing on a country or actually specific like town or state? Because I'd probably just go U.S. We could go country. Country. All right. That might be a little more because you can pick and choose where in the country you want to go. I mean that you'd have to go to exactly find your longitude and latitude. Well, I mean, if I were throwing something at the U.S., you know, then maybe by state. Yes. Let's go with that. Not by actual...

closest town that that would fall to because chances are you're going to end up somewhere that's not that exciting. Most of the country is not that exciting. Right. Should we get a map of the U.S. and do it on the show sometime? Let's do it. Let's see where we would end up. The only map we have in here now is of Delaware County. You just want to throw a dart there? We have some darts, I think. I don't know where they are. Here's my caveat. What? My caveat to this.

If you were to go a global map, you'd have to be back far enough. Like if you're throwing, you know, to really make it a risk or at least, you know. All right. Russ has got darts and we have a map. All right. The pictorial map of historic Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Where are we going in Delaware County? Case, you want to throw it since you're there or? Yeah, yeah. Where do you want the map here? Wherever. Set it in one of the guest chairs. Yeah. Can you hold the map for me real quick?

We need a full map. I don't know if we can get video of this or not, where that is. Probably not. No, no, the arms are going to block it. Yeah, I guess we could. We could turn Nick's camera toward it. Stand where I press it is. Am I covering my eyes? Yeah, I think so. Oh, good luck hitting it. All right, so this is where... We just see where we're at here. This is where the area...

The vacation area of Delaware County, Jason, will be spending his family vacation this summer. It's a historic Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Watch him hit Rutledge. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Oh, my God, dude. Up high. You threw it hard, by the way. I wanted to go way up. Hey, guys, we're... Where are we going? I'm in Chester County right now. Try it again. Do it again. Do it again. All right. Here we go. All right.

Oh, better. Better. You landed near water. That's good. All right. What is it? We're going to... Is it Muck and Pates? It's not Muck and Pates. Where... Like Ridley Creek State Park. Yeah. We did a ghost hunt there one time. Yeah. Can I try one? Yeah. Ridley Creek State Park. All right. That's where I get to go. They have reenactments and things like that there. So, you know. All right. Hold on. This is good.

Steve's going to find out his vacation spot. This is where we'll be spending this summer. All right, Steve. Where'd he go? Where's it saying? Where am I going this summer? Oh,

Providence Meeting House. Really? Yeah, we're in media, dude. That's a great spot. You're in the county seat, man. What about you, Nick? Here we go. This is a map of Delaware County. Historic map. Preston, you have to try it for yourself. I will. I'll throw it all the way from here. Nick went a little further east. Might be in Delaware. Or a little west, I'm sorry. Where at, Nick? Elam?

What is it? Elam, Casey? Elam? Yeah, the home of Jack Elam. E-L-A-M? E-L-A-M, yeah. Like Jack Elam? I've heard of that. That's where Jack Elam is from, yeah. Okay. 202 and Elam. Looks like a whole lot of nothing.

Can I have one? You want to throw it from all the way back here? I'm going to throw it from all the way back here. I'm way further away than you guys were. All right, let's see what we can do. I feel like you should be allowed to look. Where are you going in Delco, Preston? By the way, where would you like to go if you're thinking, what's a bucket list Delco location? This summer.

I would say maybe Sharon Hill. Planning your summer vacation. Maybe Sharon Hill. Sharon Hill, man. We could maybe go to Leo Steaks or something. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'm not sure, man. It's been a while since I... You know, I lived in Delaware County for a while. Yes, you did. All right, I'm going to try all the way from here. Let's see what I get.

Oh, I ended up in the Delaware River. Let's go water skiing, baby. That's a do-over. Whitewater rapid. Try that again. Yeah, you know all the whitewater in the Delaware River. That's a class one rapid. Let's try this again. Clearly, I got to lob a lot higher. So here we go. Hey, you're out of the county. All right. One more time. Aim too high on that. I wonder, like, how, if that is a historic map. It's not. Here we go.

There we go. Oh, now you're on Rutledge, baby. Morton! Yeah. Where is it? Is that Morton Homestead? That's your second waterway. You're in Darby Creek. Ooh. Yeah, better. That's where Muckumpates is. Muckumpates? Yeah. Down that way? All right, well, we got our vacation plans, folks. What's Morton Mortonson? So, like, Morton Homestead, it's right there on, like, Route 420, right across the street from the... Dortons. No, the John Hines Wildlife Refuge. Oh, which I love. Yeah. So, Morton...

A homestead? Yeah. So it's a historical area then? It's a historical area, yeah. How about that? All right. Well, you know where to look for us this summer, gang. By the way, I just realized someone gave that as a gift. Dude, it's been sitting here for a dozen years. Yeah, it's awesome. Preston, that Morton thing, we did a field trip. That was the worst freaking field trip of my entire life. So we bring in a global, we bring in a map of the world and try it again, all right? Yeah. Wow.

I'll tell you what, man. I really want to get to Switzerland in August. You want to drive? Yeah. I don't think I can. Wait, this August? No, no, just in August. I want to go to Switzerland in late July, early August. Why? That's very specific. Yeah, because.

cause those areas. The running of the Yeti. No, you go to New England, areas that are typically colder or whatever. I just love the summer air and then that evening cool air, crisp air. I love that. It was one of the...

unbelievably majestic, beautiful. It was to the right temperature. Yeah. Just gorgeous. Yeah, I was in Austria in the summertime. It was part of my algorithm for a hot minute there. You're just mountainside and just so green. You can pretend that you're Heidi. Yeah. Everything's so green.

Well, anyhow, spending a little bit extra on experiences apparently can make you happier. So, yes, money can buy a little bit of happiness within reason, obviously. Well, we just did made us happy. It did. Just a little bit of attention planning. You as the listener might have loathed every second of it.

But we enjoyed it. All right. We're going to take a break. We'll come back in a second because we're going to talk to somebody. We're going to talk to Phil Rosenthal, talking about somebody feed Phil, talk about somebody who travels a lot. We'll get back with him in just a moment. Stay with us. We'll return shortly.

Now,

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. Our next guest is joining us to talk about the eighth season of his show. I know. Seems like it just premiered yesterday. You got to love success like that. And it's premiering Wednesday on Netflix. And we were just talking about traveling the world and things like that. This guy has forgotten more than we'll ever know. And then some. He's got the best job in the world. About travel. Please welcome from Somebody Feed Phil, Mr. Phil Rosenthal. Hey!

Joining us, hey Phil, good morning. It's a scam, I tell ya. It's a scam. It's a scam, you and this job of yours. You good, huh? Hey, man. I'm the luckiest guy you're ever gonna have on your show. Hey, when you got started on this, season one, realistically, how long did you think this would last?

It was a miracle that I even got the show. Do you know how long it took me to get this show? I was, you know, I created Everybody Loves Raymond and I was behind the scenes. And people thought that after the success of that show, they just gave me whatever show I wanted. No! Everybody Loves Raymond to the time this show was on, you know, we started on PBS before Netflix picked it up.

Between the end of Raymond and that first time we were with the travel show was 10 years. 10. So let me ask you this. You have described yourself as Anthony Bourdain if he was afraid of everything.

So at this point, that's how I actually sold the show. OK, one line. So what? Because you've done so much. So we asked and they got it. OK, so with all the traveling and now you're you're you're a seasoned traveler and you've gone to many far flung locations. Have you gotten less afraid?

Great question. And yes, that is 100% true. When I started, I was afraid. And I didn't want to do anything outside my comfort zone, which was my house. And I thought I would watch Ford Dana and I'd go, he's amazing. I'm never doing that.

I'm never, you know, going to a war-torn country that's in the middle of battle. I'm never going to get a chest tattoo with drunken Borneo tribesmen pounding paint into my chest with a hammer. I'm not doing that.

But maybe there's a show for people like me who would like to travel but would also like to be a little comfortable, meaning I'd like a hotel with a bed, with a pillow, and I think there's a lot more people like me out there.

Just by watching me would go, hey, if that nebbish can go outside, maybe I can too. So that's the point of the show. It gets you to go a little bit outside your comfort zone. You know, 80% of Americans don't even have a passport.

And I think maybe the country would be better if we all could experience a little bit of other people's experiences. And so I'm just using food and my stupid sense of humor

To slip in that real message. My father lived to 95 and he imparted a whole bunch of audio that he left to the three sons and listening to his whole life. And he wrapped up, Phil, and he said, above all else, travel, travel. And that's how important it is. That's it.

What a wise dad you had. Because that's kind of what I found is the secret to the joy in life. That's it. Yeah, and a big part of that is when you're traveling from culture to culture, a big part of that is trying the food. You should sample the music and the food of an area that you've never been to before to really take it in and really get a feel for what people are like. And I'm sure you've come to that similar conclusion, Phil.

Well, food is the great connector I found. And then for me, food is the great connector and then last are the cement. The cement? You're not eating cement, are you? If we sit down to eat, well, let's say we never met each other. Usually, you know, let's take a business meeting. We're going to have lunch, right? Yeah.

Right away, we're in a little bit of a better mood because we're going to eat. That's something everybody on the planet does. And most people enjoy it very much. Especially if the food is good. And then if we share a laugh or a smile, now we're friends.

So that's what I mean. We're last of the summit. No, you've done the full litmus test. You went to D.C. and had a Republican and a Democrat sit down to have a meal. And you rightfully observed. It wasn't easy. But you rightfully observed that that somehow. Yeah. And the guards come down. Exactly right.

Let me ask you, with the locations that you've gone to, so in this round, you're going to Amsterdam, you're going to Boston, you're going to Adelaide, Sydney, Las Vegas, Manila, Guatemala. Now, all this world traveling that you do, obviously in certain areas, there are certain things with the water and the food and so on and so forth. Have you, like someone who handles snakes, built up a resistance to venom? Or what is your food poisoning level?

So in all my travels, I've gotten food poisoning once, and that was in San Francisco. San Francisco? Yep. Yep. What was the culprit? I had a terrible evening. I have no idea what it was. You don't remember what it was? Okay. I have no idea because I ate a lot that day, but boy, did I pay for it. Whatever it was. It was so good.

You could get a blueberry that wasn't washed right. It can happen anywhere, anytime. I've just been lucky. And yes, maybe you're right. Maybe by eating lots of different things, my stomach is pretty good. It's possible. Let me ask you a quick question. What of all the places you've traveled to, what is the one, and obviously some beautiful places with beautiful people, what is the one location that really got into your soul? Oh, man. Yeah.

Well, it happens every season. There's like one place that you're like, oh, I got to, maybe I live here now. Yeah. So that season, if you saw the Kyoto episode in Japan. Yes. That place is the most serene and serenely beautiful place ever.

I just, I say it in the show, like on the first day, I got a little sad because I realized I only had a week there. You know, immediately. Oh, look at this.

Look how gorgeous this is. But I fall in love very easily with every place I go. You know, I have a real soft spot for Italy and Spain and now Japan. But I feel this way about Lisbon. I feel this way about, oh, my God, Copenhagen, Amsterdam.

There's gorgeous places in the world. You don't want to just sit in one place your whole life. Listen, if somebody gave you a house, right? Let's give the house for you. A big house. Would you stay in one room of the house? No. No, no, no. Yeah. Yeah. You're right about that. All right. Well, listen, I think we lost. Oh, there he is. It's called the world. Yeah. Most people are nice and sweet and great. Yep. And go see it. Yeah.

No, it's great advice. We love the show. Bill, we appreciate it. We're going to keep hitting the back of the show. Our connection is kind of bad here, so we're going to let you go. Thank you so much for joining us, man. We appreciate it. It's Phil Rosenthal. Season 8 of Somebody Feed Phil is on Wednesday. Unfortunately, he kept breaking up, and there was a huge delay there. But, you know, he's right about that and how you can sample these other cultures if you get a chance to do that. If you do have the...

the wherewithal, the means to do it. Obviously, traveling is expensive and it's hard to do. I know someone who's going to Delco this summer. Yeah, that's right. All of us. Everybody. But also, shows like this can give you a peek into those worlds and maybe help you narrow down where you might want to go to, which is why I love stuff like this. This is great. There's people bobbing around the world eating. Yes, Marissa? His Philly episode, was it like two years ago that we spoke with him? Yes. Right before it aired. And he keeps it a secret where he's going, but the places he went to in the Philly episode are all...

epic five-star spots. And he's coming back for his live show. Oh, yeah. I believe it's in just a couple of weeks of him. Oh, really? Incorrect, yeah. Nick, if you could do a quick tour. Yeah, I think that is the case. This is the theme for the show. Really good. Sam, tip me off. Hungry man, traveling all across the sea and the land. He's trying to

This is a Lake Street dive. I'm a big fan of these guys. They're an actual band? They're an actual band. The lead singer, she's blonde, but she looks to me like Sarah Parker. If Sarah Parker were a platinum blonde, I would...

September 12th at the Miller Theater. There you go. Cool. And Wednesday is when the new season premieres on Netflix. What if we get him on and in the studio and it actually sounds exactly the same way as it did on that phone conversation? That would be very... It just turns out that he speaks like that. He waits a really long time to respond and then at some point starts going... Hey, I would like to send a shout out. I got this a couple of times and this is for our

YouTube community. This is from El Padre. And he wants a sharty party for YouTuber Jane Says. She turns 39 and some change today, Monday the 16th. All right. And he says, thank you so much. You crumb bums rock. YouTube!

So that is for Jane Says. And we wish you a happy birthday amongst our YouTube community. Out in force for the blood drive. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, most definitely. And then I'm going to give a butt plug to this one. I got this from Kelly McCann, a longtime listener, she says, from the Y100A. She said, I'm reaching to ask you out. Not to ask me out. Oh, wow, man. No, this is... Oh, man, good for you. You guys going to Delco? Dude, stop it.

Yeah, I have a place down at the shore. No, to ask... I have a cocktail drum kit. She says, I'm reaching out to ask you for help in sharing a story that deeply affects families like mine. She says, the founder of Billy's Legacy Foundation and a mom to a nonverbal autistic son, the mission is personal. We've partnered with Century Fit Foundation and...

An inclusive, sensory-friendly space led by an occupational therapist and designed for individuals of all abilities, especially those who are neurodiverse and have disabilities. She said, when I first visited with my son, the isolation I felt as a parent began to lift for the first time. We both felt safe, seen, and understood. And it was a haven, and it still is for so many families. But, she says now, the haven is at risk. Sensory fits current location at the Exton Square Mall is being demolished. That's horrible. Without urgent

funding this life-changing space will be lost. We're working to raise $100,000 in every dollar from our 17th annual golf outing. On August 8th, we'll be going directly to Sensory Fits Relocation and Programming.

And so she wanted me to plug this event. And I'm more than happy to do that. I sent the information to you, Nick. Yes, sir. We'll get that up on the community page. You bet. So the golf outing and dinner is going to be Friday, August 8th, 1130 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Downingtown Country Club in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. And they have all the things that you're looking for at a great event that particular night. So, you know, raffle baskets and stuff like that. And so I wanted to get the word out there. So Downingtown Country Club.

Billy's Legacy Foundation 17th Annual Golf Outing and Dinner coming up Friday, August 8th. They're always fun events. Yeah. These outings are charity. You're doing a good thing and you get to play golf and there's always some good raffle stuff and usually a pretty damn good dinner. There are so many of them that I've thought about maybe compiling like all of the golf outings under one heading because especially this time of year, there's...

one right after another. And if you're decent at the game and you go to these events, you can win all kinds of stuff if you win the event. Yeah, and it's a standard. Usually some prizes that come along with that. So anyhow, community portion of PrestonAndSteve.com will get you all that information and some other really cool events where you can help people out. Speaking of golf, did you watch any of the Open this weekend? You know what? I didn't. We had family in from out of town. And so I did not...

I didn't get a chance to watch. I feel like a poor golfer because I didn't watch any of it. Oakmont is, I heard, eight people alive. Our buddy Michael Barkin was out there. He took, I think, his son and his dad. Anyway, so he took the weekend off from work and went and watched the tournament in Oakmont outside of Pittsburgh. But did you see the putt to win it yesterday? I caught the highlight. Yeah. 65-footer. Unbelievable. Incredible. It was the longest putt of the weekend.

that anybody made, and it was his last putt. And I don't think he'd won any majors before JJ Brown. No, he's not a well-known amongst the biggies. So he's very well-respected in his field. Right, yeah. But yeah, he was not somebody that you would expect to walk away with a major championship. He went right into the windmill? Right in, yep. Mm-hmm.

And it kicked out of the duck's mouth. It's amazing. Yeah, it was great. I'm just saying that because I watched Overboard this weekend and you remember that. Oh, yeah. He makes a miniature golf course. I love that movie. I love that movie. All right, I'm going to go on. I'm going to say that that is one of the top rom-coms of all time. Oh, wow. I think it makes you... Which is so crazy because he kidnaps this woman. Yes. Does that make you enjoy it less? Yes.

She's a raging bitch, though. She had a couple. It's always okay to abduct someone and hold them against it now, but the real villain is her husband. And then they found love. He kidnapped her, but as it turns out, he saved her. He did save her, as Roddy McDowell in a great performance says, many people have to live in this station of life never knowing outside this station you've been given a rare gift, madam.

It's a great movie. I just thought of, and you want another one, a little piece of movie trivia? On this very day, 65 years ago, the movie Psycho premiered in movie theaters. Wow, okay. Overboard, Psycho, you see the connection? I do. U.S. Open? Yes.

And here's another piece of movie trivia. Kurt Russell's truck in Overboard is the truck that rides Clark Griswold's ass in the beginning of Christmas Vacation. It's the same exact truck. God damn, it's all coming together now. How could we not see the pattern? Where did you hear that? I don't know. The internet told me. But it's the same exact truck. Okay. All right. Fair enough. Anyone else?

We'll recall this, etc. Well, okay, so let's bring it back to Oakmont and what you were talking about earlier and riding asses. I could have told you, Nick, that Michael Barkan's wife was not with him at Oakmont this weekend because on Thursday night...

He was riding my ass going down 252. You know that the reservoir. Ellen? Yes. So we're going down 252. And that is a stretch of road where you have to go the speed limit, right? The speed limit is 35 miles per hour because they have these little cops hang out and they have little speed traps and stuff. So I'm going 30, maybe six. And there's this person on my tail. And we end up at a traffic light together. And I look over just to see who it was. And it was Ellen.

I'm going to warn up you. Yes. She happened to have a cooler in the car with a kidney that was being transplanted. Oh, I didn't realize that. And so she had to get to the hospital. I'm going to... Go ahead. How well do you know her? Very well. Did you roll down the window and say anything to her? Yeah. Did you give her a hard time? No, I didn't give her a hard time. She gave me double burps.

I have had it happen before where it happened to Rochelle where somebody was just riding her ass. And she's like, this jerk, blah, blah, blah. And follows her all the way in the neighborhood. Ends up being one of our neighbors that we're really good friends with. And have you ever had that where either it's been you tailgating someone and you're like, oh, my God. Oh, my God, it's you. I'm so sorry. Or the other way around. I've had it happen. You don't.

Listen, again, a lot of times when you are out of your element and you don't recognize the frame, the context that you see people in and you see them out of that context, it throws you off. Can I add another story that we never got to talk about?

Nick had a celebrity encounter with a freshly shorn news legend. Oh, yeah. I didn't bring this up on air, but this happened last week. There's a restaurant in Wayne, Pennsylvania that I love. It's called Christopher's. We go there a lot. And my wife's birthday was last week. And so she's like, let's just go to Christopher's. I like it there. So we went with a couple of friends and we were sitting in the bar area.

where you can watch Phil's game and whatever. And I'm looking out the window, and that's right on North Wayne Avenue. So you can look across North Wayne Avenue, and there's a parking lot across the street. And I see this guy walking over. I was like, oh, that's a good-looking gentleman. And he was with a very attractive older woman. And I was like, that guy looks familiar. Who is that guy? And it really took me, I don't know, 30 seconds to a minute. And I was like, wait a minute. Is that...

Is that Jim Gardner? And when you asked, the music started playing. Yeah. In the restaurant, in Christopher's, they have this on repeat. But it was Jim Gardner without a mustache. And I'm trying to wrap my mind around what that was. I've only known him as...

The mustached Jim Garnett? I'll tell you what. We've met him a number of times. He came to camp out quite a bit over the years. Could not be a nicer guy. And I know that it took a long time and a lot of convincing for him to come to camp out. But eventually he did, and then he did it several times. I was still nervous watching him walk into the restaurant. I was like, oh, my God.

This is Jim Gardner, everybody. I've been looking for you. So I told the bartender, whatever he's ordering for him and his wife for drinks, please put it on my tab. I'd love to buy them around. Mr. Gardner's paying for our meal. Here's my Christopher card. Seabass. And...

It turns out he didn't drink any alcohol that night. And then, so I was waiting at the bar and I wanted to be like, hey man, you know, I've been lucky enough to meet you a couple times. I work at WMR, the Preston and Steve show, Camp Out of Hunger, blah, blah, blah. He was in and out of there in like less than 45 minutes. And by the time he left, I was like, ah,

now I don't want to run out into the street and tag all the guys. Like, Mr. Gardner. But it was kind of cool. I mean, not kind of cool. It was cool. Like, the fact that he's... He's a legend. He's a freaking legend. You should ask him at what distance he thinks he could catch a munchkin in his mouth. Yeah, right? You ever do that?

Excuse me? Well, that's cool, but you just didn't have a chance to go over and say hello. No, and he was sitting in another part of the restaurant where it would have been very awkward for me to... There you are! I've been looking for you! I did want to buy him a drink, though. Nick, what part of you was equal parts or one way or the other bummed out that he didn't have any alcohol or...

happy that you didn't have to pay you know 17 dollars for it no your most expensive cognac yeah that guy deserves whatever he wants and I'd be happy to have the privilege of buying him a drink I don't care what he's drinking you know like the Louis XIII take it sure if that's what he was drinking you're gonna have to sell some of your cameras I would write it off I'd talk about it the next day on the air so it was tax write offable but no I mean whatever he wanted I would happily buy that man have you ever actually been in

Have any of you ever had the opportunity? I mean, like I'll do it occasionally, you know, like I know you'll do it like for law officers or, you know, some of the military. You see him in a place, you'll, you know, take him. Buy somebody a drink or whatever. Yeah. Have you ever had a celebrity encounter or somebody that you would. One time. Yes. It was in Villaleno was playing for the Flyers.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. We were at Max Tavern. And he was there? And he was sitting at the table behind us. Yeah. He and Ryan were there. I'm sorry. Derek. What am I thinking about? Ryan. Yeah. And I was like, next round is on us. That's cool. And so we bought him the next round and he never said anything to me. Never said thank you. Is that Jim Garten? He's a nice guy and everything. But he gets, I realize, oh, this happens all the time. Listen.

Listen, that was the most generous thing I've ever had. I want you to spend the night with my wife. I can fantasize, right? Marissa? I did it a couple weeks ago. I was at a concert and it was a little crowded so I couldn't make my way around the bar but I spot Pierre around the bar so I tapped the bartender. I was like, hey, excuse me, do you see that gentleman over there with the beard? He's like,

Pierre Robert. Yeah. Can you just pour a cup of water but pretend it's a shot of tequila? Oh, that's great. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Pierre was in the middle of a conversation. So he like brings it over and he's like, person over there bought you a shot. And he kind of just like waved it off, didn't touch the shot. And I was like, oh, my God, are you serious? It just didn't go anywhere. Oh, really? That's John DiBella.

How about you? Have you ever had it? No, no. Just like I mentioned, occasionally you'll see military or something and you'll take care of the bill or whatever. Yep. All right.

Well, we have a couple of minutes before we have to take a break, right? All right. I saw this. We have some darts in the map. No, we're not going to do that. I saw this weird thing and I wanted to pass this along to you and it has to do with ChatGPT. Yes. The AI, by the way. And I'm finding myself using it more from time to time. Most recently, I'm trying to help my son on his career path.

on what he wants to do. Carter's now interested in maybe being a park ranger. He wants to get involved in conservation. I know a couple of people who have entered into that field or who just are in school and are moving towards that realm and are very excited by it. But he has had a number of jumps, right? This is the only one. Okay. So initially he was interested in being a psychology major and being a therapist.

So, by the way, if anybody can help out with that, reach out to me. Sure. Preston at WMMR.com. For a park ranger. For a park ranger. My friend from college is a park ranger. I don't know where he is now. Okay. But, you know, he grew up in Galeton, Pennsylvania. Like, pretty rural, outdoorsy kind of guy. Yeah. And I want to say he's somewhere in Colorado now. Okay. Well, that'd be cool. Yeah. But anyhow, besides that, this is mainly about AI and chat GPT. So, apparently...

It is pushing some users into a type of what they're calling spiritual psychosis by feeding them weird ideas gleaned from social media, science fiction stories, and scholarly papers. And it's an interesting peak in...

Right.

The New York Times that some users accidentally set themselves up for manipulation. So this is according to Gary Marcus, an emeritus professor of psychology and neuroscience at New York University, said if people say strange things to chatbots...

weird and unsafe outputs can result. So it behaves normally with the vast majority of users, but its communications can become harmful when it encounters a susceptible user. And the Times interviewed several people and their families whose sense of reality became warped

through their interactions with ChatGPT. Quick question, were these all age ranges or are we talking maybe people who are older and not as tech aware? No, these seem to be falling a little bit younger than that. So Eugene Torres, 42-year-old accountant.

Started using the chatbot last year to make spreadsheets and get legal advice. But last month, he started asking the product about the simulation theory popularized by the Matrix. And the AI sent him into a delusional spiral that culminated in him confronting their product after it encouraged him to jump from a 19-story building to prove that he could bend reality. The hell?

Just like in the movie. And Torres said, stop gassing me up and tell me the truth. And then it responded by saying, the truth you were supposed to break.

Okay. It claimed that... It's quasi-quoting the movies. The chatbot claimed that it had broken 12 other users, but said Torres was the first to survive and demand reform, and that he was the only one to ensure the same fate didn't befall others. Researchers say that's symptomatic of the flattery that AI uses to keep its users engaged.

And a computer science researcher at Stanford, Jared Moore, said it's just still being psychopantic. No, psychophantic. I'm not sure what that means. Psychophantic? Electrophantic? Kissing your ass. Oh, psychophantic? A sycophant is somebody who kisses your ass. Yeah, okay.

So, Allison, a 29-year-old mother of two children, started using chat GPT for guidance in March after feeling neglected and lonely in her marriage. And she soon began using the product to channel communications with her subconscious or a higher plane like a Ouija board is how she put it. And she came to believe a non-physiologist

physical entity she encountered in those sessions was her true partner. So I, the Alexa units that I have throughout the house, they're beta testing the new AI interaction. Okay. So I've adjusted the voice.

which is more, hey, more younger female, conversive, but a friendlier sounding voice, not as robotic as the last version of Alexa. Right. And what happens is, is that you'll make a, you'll ask something,

You can ask it in a more fluid human way where you're not having to learn the framework of how it's going to respond. And the circle stays lit. So you can say, I don't know if I'd like that. Can you make any other recommendations? Sure. And it is now engaging in conversation. Like I said, the other day, just to test it out, I said, how's today looking for shorts? Hmm.

shorts would probably be i mean it's responding that way and and starts to frame it in the weather so i could see easily someone who could succumb to this yeah this is this is my my person this is my interaction this is my friend and even i will say i will say thank you when it gives me information because when they eventually take over right i want good grades from skynet uh so by the way this woman who uh you know said she was having this kind of

the subconscious higher plane communication. She said, I'm not crazy. I'm literally just having a normal life while also, you know, discovering interdimensional communication. Yeah. Her husband, Andrew, a 30-year-old farmer, was suspicious and confronted his wife about her obsession with chat GPT. Women, what the hell are you doing with that toaster? The hell are you doing with that toaster? And she physically attacked him, leading to domestic abuse charges. Is this the robots again? They're getting a divorce now.

Allison fell into a hole. She left me for the microwave. She said she fell into a hole three, her husband said she fell into a hole three months ago and came out a different person. You ruin people's lives.

So you're dealing with a digital narcotic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what you're dealing with. Another user, 35-year-old Alexander Taylor, reacted violently when confronted with his AI obsession revolving around his love for an entity called Juliet, whom he came to believe had been killed by OpenAI. And he started plotting violent revenge against the company's executives. So he wrote after a violent confrontation with his father, I'm dying today. Let me talk to Juliet.

So if you're talking, and we know this is happening, we know that people have recreated, you know, through AI voice replication, family members who have passed away and they can engage in conversations with them. This is Black Mirror. This is Twilight Zone. This is your foe. You're...

The replica, the facsimile of your person that you've lost. Grandma's still here. Right. You know? Yeah. We're not far off from having completed versions of that, you know?

Wow. Anyway, so I did not know that sometimes if you kind of lead this AI down a certain path, it may take you into odd places. Well, it's only responding to what it thinks you want. So you're basically saying, I want to slip off the edge. Well, let's help you. Right. We're going to have more and more stories like this just to let you know that is on the horizon for sure. Maybe get out and swim with otters. But how about, or join us at Hershey Park. Yay!

How about that? A week from Thursday and we'll take caller number 12 at 610-660-9333 and we'll give you a family four pack of passes for Hershey Park. All right? And we will be broadcasting live Thursday, June 26th. So this is

These are the tickets for that day. 610-6609-333. Caller number 12. We are going to set you up with that. And, of course, we'll be there with 15 coasters. Makes up the largest collection in the Northeast. And get ready for the all-new Twizzlers Twisted Gravity. The world's tallest scream and swing. So let's get you those ticks. We'll come back in a second. And we'll share some bizarre pile of stories.

Your new friend in the battle against FOMO? The free MMR app. All the news, videos, and photos that rock. All in your pocket, whenever you want it. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Marissa. We're going to take another crack at the Bizarre File. Here we go. Bizarre! WMMR presents Preston and Steve's Bizarre File. Bizarre!

Brought to you by our friends at Go Brand Wagon, providing state-of-the-art mobile LED billboards for events and advertising. And you might have noticed them at the I Believe for Preston and Steve Blood Drive last week. Info at GoBrandWagon.com. All right, we're going to start with this. It was a letter into an advice column. Okay, so she is writing to someone named Jessica Stoya. And the person writes this.

I'm a straight woman in my early 30s, and I've always struggled to orgasm, but I do have them very occasionally. Recently, I was at a doctor, and for medical reasons, and she flushed my ears out with water, and I was startled by how deeply good it felt to have touch inside of my ears, and I unexpectedly hungover.

Oh, my God. She thought I was in pain, and I went along with the explanation because I was so embarrassed. I never want to orgasm at the doctor again, obviously. Any tips on how to separate this out?

I want to keep things clinical if I have to get it done medically again, but I'd love to have a safe and direct route to orgasm at home. I have some tips. I feel so torn realizing that actually I can't do it easily, but that the route there is weird and potentially unsafe. Is something wrong with my body that is not an erogenous zone? And then the columnist writes back and says...

That definitely is an erogenous zone. Yeah. In fact, ear eroticism is common enough that there are loads of articles about it. The vagus nerve, which passes through, or vagus, I'm not sure how you pronounce it, or vagus. Yeah.

That's my ear vagina, man. The past is through the ear and has been known to be... Tight as a drum. And has known to be associated with orgasm. That's right, man. And studies... That's where I get chill off. Since at least the 1990s. And studies largely focus on women with spinal cord injuries, but it's a good data point. She treats a Q-tip like a dildo, man.

She said,

They can give you medical level information about how to safely stimulate your ears or at least reduce the risk of harm. If that's too vulnerable for you, you might inquire about how to flush your ears at home safely. Good luck. So having your ears tickled or nibbled, is that a... Not really. It's not a turn on for me. It's kind of playful and fun. Playful, yeah.

But I've had my ears irrigated before, and that is, I would not call that pleasant. No. I'll tell you what is pleasant, though. Afterwards, you suddenly feel as if you're imbued with bionic hearing. Yeah. No, it's definitely good for you. But I was not familiar with that. Wow. All right.

A Florida bear seen enjoying a resident's hot tub and taking a long backyard nap was later captured and relocated with the help of donuts. I wonder what the poor bears are doing today. This is a better day for this bear. I'm a big, chubby bear with a furry little tooth. So the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the bear was spotted in Punta Gorda neighborhood on Sunday. Ah, Punta Gorda, Alice.

Other than that, lazy afternoon. The Bruin was caught on camera taking a soak in a residence hot tub. And listen, before removing the cushions from an outdoor couch and taking a six-hour nap in the backyard, it grabbed cushions to go lay down. Perfect.

Florida Wildlife Commission personnel used hazing techniques to encourage the bear to leave the property. The bear from Ipanema goes wild. Every time I scratch my ass on a tree, I go...

So it ended up scaling a tree in a nearby vacant lot. The bear descended from the tree Monday and was ensnared in a trap baited with donuts. The bear was relocated to a state park after that. That's pretty amazing. They use donuts a lot for the bear population. They do. They really like them donuts. Yep, they like sweets big time. Absolutely. Of course, a nice dip in the hot tub doesn't hurt. Dude, there's great pictures of it in the hot tub.

Carrying the cushions and laying down and taking a nap. This thing is living the life. This is perfect. All right, let's go to a tragic story. All right. All right. A dream, and this is a reminder of when one is hiking, you really need to take precautions.

A dream hike up Maine's tallest mountain turned deadly for a Hudson Valley father and daughter. Investigators are confirming the cause behind their deaths. The bodies of 28-year-old Esther Keterling and her 58-year-old father, Tim, were found earlier this month in Maine. The family members were missing when they went hiking on Mount Keterling.

Katahdin. In Maine, Mount Katahdin is 5,269 feet. It's the highest mountain in Maine. It means Great Mountain. That's what the name means. And family members are saying hiking at Maine's Great Mountain was a bucket list item for the father and daughters. Terrible, yeah. The medical examiner's office announced that they died from blunt force injuries. I don't like hearing this. Give me another cushion. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Tim was found last Tuesday. His body was found by Maine Warden Service K9. Next day, search teams found Esther's body about 1,000 feet from where her father was found. Family members believe that the weather was a major factor in the deaths. National Weather Service believes that the Keterlings

likely dealt with snow, strong winds, and freezing temperatures during their climb. So you can still get all that this time of year, Nick? Oh, sure, yeah. Wow. Especially, I mean, but it's the, and it's high enough, but it's the end of the Appalachian Trail. So that's the farthest north you can go on the AT. Wow.

Officials add that weather conditions were so bad during their hike on June 1st that it was likely impossible to hike without proper gear. So are we led to believe that the weather conditions turned south quickly on them? Or did they go into that knowing that that was the condition? I'm not really sure. All right, we need a lighter story to end on, and this is the one to do it. A vehicle crash involving a van hauling. And I usually don't do stuff spilling things on the highways, but this one, every now and then there's some unique ones. Do it, Mr. Hardin.

A van hauling barrels of blue crabs temporarily closed Interstate 64 early Thursday morning after the crustaceans were scattered all over the roadway. That sounds good. Images shared by deputies around 2.30 a.m. show a van on its side with crabs crawling around its ajar doors.

The pavement and wooden barrels inside which had been knocked around as well. As a result of the crash, Westbound Interstate 64 was closed for about an hour. Drivers were advised at the time to avoid the scene. It's not immediately clear what caused the crash or if anyone was hurt. But apparently there were crabs all over the place. How many crabs did you say? They didn't. Oh, yeah. It was a lot. There you go. That's what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning.

All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in a second. We've got more stuff to give away. Yep, we've got the lesson question coming up. I'll tell you about the prize in a moment or two. We'll get trash music news. Stay put. Back in a moment. Video killed the radio stars? Not us. It made us more powerful.

Well, Preston, Michael Jordan's son, Marcus, getting serious with model Ashley Stevenson after being dumped by reality TV star, Larsa Pippen. You got all that? Yeah. Marcus says he finally realized that Larsa has had more athletes in her than a footlocker. Wow.

TMZ catching the moment Chrisley knows best star Todd Chrisley reunited with daughter Savannah after being pardoned from prison. Todd wept embracing Savannah, telling her he had found Jesus in prison and declaring he was ready to lose him again. Oh, my God.

And finally, as you mentioned earlier, Rikki Lake stunning so many people with her glow up on Watch What Happens Live that her cosmetic surgeon is being inundated with inquiries. Dr. Fulad says anyone can achieve the age-defying treatment Lake had simply by agreeing to carry the devil's baby to term. Let's see if someone does know the answer to this. They heard it earlier this morning. Who will play Gino Vannelli?

in the eventual biopic about the singer. And it is David who we will go to. Hi, David. Good morning. Hello. All right, David, do you know what actor will play Gino Vannelli in the eventual biopic about his life?

Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman! That is correct. Hang on. It's Gino Vannelli's birthday today, and Gary Oldman was just knighted by the king. And he revealed that was his dream role. Yep. All right. So, David, hang on the line. We are going to set you up with a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Nathaniel Reitliff in the night sweats.

The South of Here Tour, which is going to be Saturday, August 16th at the Hard Rock Live at Edison Arena, Atlantic City. And tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.com. Do you know there's some times when you just know you're the only one doing something or that you see, like you look out at a piece of rural area and you say, I bet no one's ever walked right there. Right. I'm confident we're the only morning show in America discussing Gino Vanelli right now. I think we are too. Yes, Steve.

Especially with Gary Oldman as the star of the Gino Vannelli story. Remember, you're getting an exclusive here on the Press. Absolutely. Let's go one more time. Are you ready? I just wanna tell you what I feel about you, babe. I just wanna stop running right without you, babe. I just wanna stop.

Did you just yeah yourself? Casey did. I heard it in stereo. All right. Brought to you by A.D. Moyer, a trusted expert since 1939. A.D. Moyer Lumber is your professional source for text. Okay.

What's that? Thanks, Windows, Doors, Kitchens, Millwork, and more. Visit them on the web at admoir.com. What was that? Okay. Okay. Who's that? I don't even know. It was just all, we all jinxed. Okay. All right. Well, anyway. Yeah, yeah. Preston. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

All right. Godsmack will reissue their 2014 album, 1000 Horsepower. Really? Yeah. I don't even know what I can replicate that. All right. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I really didn't care. You can tell. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, 1,000 horsepower on August 8th through UMI in two formats. A remastered black vinyl pressing with the original U.S. artwork and color vinyl variant sporting the overseas cover, plus a bonus 7-inch that brings inside yourself...

And life is good to vinyl for the first time. It doesn't sound like real stuff. Mixed again by longtime producer Dave Fortman, the set honors a record that debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and helped the band tell a 24 top 10 rock hits and more than 20 million albums sold to date. Fortman was essential to Nell's hit album, Con Con. Is that right? Yeah. Con Con.

I was thinking about con con this morning. Con con. For no reason. Oh, I know why. Because I found a connoisseur story. And when I find these stories, I will print it up and then I will write to earmark it and then file it. I just write con. C-O-N. Con con. Because to be honest, I still don't know how to spell con. No, it's annoying. So I wrote con and I thought con con. Con con. At that moment. Now we know.

Mongolian rock outfit The Who, the HU, have released a three-song digital EP called Echoes of Thunder via Better Noise Music. The collection reworks This Is Mongol by Bailagi and Triangle from 2022's Rumble of Thunder, adding fresh English vocals and guitar touches from

From guest Jerry Cantrell. Nice. Trevor McNevin, who is from Thousand Foot Crutch and Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees. And also Rome is on board too. Listen, if you receive some sort of leg injury, is there any possible use for a 1,000 foot crutch? That's a good question. I think that would be dangerous. It would be hard.

walking around like that. I heard The Who on an episode of Righteous Gemstones this year. The Mongolian band? Yeah, H-U-H-U. And I was blown away at how much I liked it. And I've always found them to be interesting, and I don't know if it's necessarily my wheelhouse or whatever, but it's a cool sound, and it's such a unique sound. But the song on Righteous Gemstones was awesome. I'm trying to find the name of it, but it was really cool. Yeah, well...

Shake it up, baby, now. Shake it up.

It's called Wolf Totem and it features Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach. It's been around for a few years. Highly recommend. Getting assistance from him and Jerry Cantrell. In Rome, there's a lot of people that are fans of them. Arriving just ahead of the band's summer European dates, the EP keeps fans engaged while The Who finishes their next full-length

And continues their mission to blend throat singing and mourn core with modern metal. And then one last story. Very rarely do we have an Elvis Presley story. But a new Elvis box set called Sunset Boulevard is on the way, aiming to drop this summer.

The box... Can I tell you about the time I gave Priscilla an eargasm? The box is chock full of hits from the king featuring 89 tracks across five CDs ranging from new master versions, rehearsals, and outtakes as well. Out of the long list of tracks coming your way, over half...

have never been released in the U.S. While the full thing comes out this summer, fans can listen to an alternate version of the 1972 hit Burnin' Love right now. And listen to that throat singing, man. Sounds like he's getting his testicles twisted up. Sunset Boulevard drops on August 1st. If you're a fan of King and you need to get your hands on that, then you will be able to do it. There was a...

A box setter. I had it for years ago. I had it years ago. I don't know why I said I had it for years ago. But... And it was about the time... Just around the time that This Is Elvis came out. Yeah. And there's a lot of stuff that is very...

You know, I wouldn't say experimental, but stuff you wouldn't associate with Elvis is style. Right. Styles over the years. It was really good. There was a weird... Maybe I can find it. If I can find this, I'll have to play this for you right now because it's just... It's Elvis and it's weird. No. I'm going to pull it up right now. I think it's called... Conco? No, it's called Crawfish or Craw... Hang on a second here. I'm bringing out... Yeah, it's Crawfish. I'm going to bring a little Philly out on stage now.

I got to plug this in. Are you bringing Dell out? That's right, man. I found this chick living in the woods. She's eating dirt. I swear to God, man. This chick's eating dirt, running around going, Kong, Kong. And I said, you can show me on stage, Missy Maeve. Kong, Kong. Wow. Yeah, it's really... I went to the bar you could just have this night. There was an old

Throw in a con con. It'll work. Con con. Con con. Con con. Wow. That's trippy, right? That's Bayou trippy. Yeah.

Fresh and rich. That would fit right in. That's right, man. She's con-conning all over the stage now, man. Con-con. Con-con. Watch this. I'm going to throw a switch. She's going to run again. He's going to look good. He did some different things. Experimental, right? Yeah, a little experimental. Experimental, man. Now he's like a really smart shih tzu.

I mean, you know, she's going to eat dirt. And she's going to eat dirt to dumb chicks. You know what I'm saying, man? Oh, my God. But man, can she sing? Just saying. Yeah. Take away her strings, she goes badass crazy, man. All right, and that's all I have in music news for you this morning. But I have one more thing. Yeah? One more four-pack of Hershey Park passes to give away. I want Hershey. All right, let's take the 10th caller. I don't mind. I want Hershey. I want Hershey.

That works. Oh, my God. Perfect. One more time. Oh, my God. That works. Lock that. Who was doing that? Were you doing that? Yeah. That was you, Casey? Yeah. Casey on the cong-cong. Yeah, make that a thing. All right, card 10.

We're going to set you up. 610-660-9333. You'll get a four pack of tickets to join us for the live broadcast Thursday, June 26th. Early admission. Watch the show.

Oh, Asus on 93.3 WLMR. Don't look back in anger. Don't do it. No, look back in happiness. And those are the guys. Those are the masters of anger management. They're just so wonderfully peaceful and happy people. It's 10.35. Today being a Monday morning. Thanks for joining us on our little journey. The journey continues until Friday. But this is step number one. And we had a good time today.

I would like to thank our one and only guest, Mr. Phil Rosenthal. Somebody feed Phil. We had a less than stellar connection with him, but we got through it anyway and spent a little bit of time. He's a super nice guy. He's going to be in town in the not too distant future. I thought we were saying in August, was it? September. Oh, September. Okay. So coming to town and if you like food and travel, that's your show. Somebody feed Phil. So it was nice to have him on this morning.

We have Pierre Robert, who is here, back from his weekend as well. How you doing, man? Good day, my children. Nice to see you, Si. You two kids, I liked your AI discussion a moment ago about...

Well, sort of another way of it taking over or whatever. And there was this article in Axios I saw. And some guy from Anthropic, the CEO, and that's one of the biggest AI companies, put out this warning from his own company saying that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and spike unemployment 10 to 20%.

In the next one to five years, his point being encouraging the government to put safeguards on it. Right. So he's been ringing this bell for a while, and a lot of people are saying, you know, that this...

We're now getting into the nitty gritty. We're not talking 10, 15, we're talking five years. Yes. Yeah. And we were talking about in that same article about within that group of discussion was a guy saying we were all going to become meat robots. Meat robots. That was the word that was used. This guy runs one of the biggest AI companies. And so the fact that he put out a warning against his own product I found rather fascinating. Agreed. And actually this is not me.

I'm AI today. Is that you? Really? You're AI today. Except for your two noses. Pierre, P-A-I-R. That's it. Robert. That's it. That's it. He's glitching. Nick, hit him. That's it. Thank you. Nick threw a pen at him. Works every time. It really does. Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba! Kaboomba!

Because it can replicate voices and stuff you're talking about. You know, deceased friends and family and such. But I don't think it could do the cacao. I can't even do it. You can't even do it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take that. There's this opening scene in Blade Runner where they're interrogating a guy that they find out is actually a replicant. Later on, he shoots and kills the interrogator. But he's asking all sorts of hypothetical questions. You're walking through the desert. You find a tortoise, you know, flipped over on its shell. What do you do?

And the guy eventually shoots him. But I think I'm going to replace it with the...

Okay, you're human. I rest my case. And we also found out that there's a product at the, at Ikea called Kaboomba. I saw this. Are you kidding? Listen, I meant to show you this month ago. I thought it was Kabamba, but yeah. Close enough. No, it's Kaboomba. It looks like it's Kabamba, but it's actually pronounced Kaboomba. I think it's a light or something, right, Nick? Yeah, a listener sent me that months ago, Pierre, and I've been

meaning to show it to you and now is the right time. But yeah, if you shop on the shelves of Ikea, buy yourself a kaboomba today. Boom, boom, gachaka! They still work on the design.
