Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve Show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steve and Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve Show. Hello, Preston and Steve. Oh, Casey, how do you say hello?
Hello, Marissa. How do you say hello to the listeners? Hello, Addy. How do you say hello? Hello, Steve. Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. Housekeeping. I think you're sleeping. Housekeeping. You come back in an hour. Housekeeping, you want food? Or toes. Need sleepy.
Please go away. Let me sleep for the night.
You're listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. With Preston Elliott. I'm just getting warmed up. And Steve Morrison. And it absolutely will not stop, ever. Plus, Casey Boy. When you're the most annoying Sam in the world. Nick McElwain. That last one goes out to Nick. And Marissa Magnata. Care to join me for a glass of breakfast wine? And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Oh!
And we're getting started and we welcome you, dear friend. Today is a Friday morning. No sad bro and just soak it all in, my friend. Let's take a look at the weather forecast as we get started. Well, things got a tad bit hairy yesterday. We're going to cover that in just a moment or two. But for today...
Absolutely beautiful. Mostly sunny skies. I have about 86 degrees. We're going to have like a 12 to 15 mile an hour breeze going on as well. Now, enjoy this today, even though you're probably cleaning up after yesterday. But we start warming up big time. Tomorrow, the high 91, partly cloudy. Still pretty decent. Sunday, 97 degrees and partly cloudy. Monday and Tuesday, 100 plus degrees expected today.
It is what they're calling a heat dome that's going to be taking over a portion of the U.S., so we are going to dive right into it big time. And now, Kristen and Steve's news update. Our day is Friday, June 20th. Good morning. A severe thunderstorm watch was in place for the entire area as a severe and damaging series of storms moved into the Delaware Valley last night. The National Weather Service said that storms brought in bouts of heavy rain, strong winds, and hail.
Tornado warnings were also issued. A major cleanup was in store for residents last night and will continue this morning. There were numerous calls for wires down, limbs down, accidents, pedestrian struck, water rescues and house fire calls.
Overall, in the entire Pico service area, more than 300,000 residents of Philadelphia and the suburban counties were without power. Casey is still without power, by the way. While no twisters were reported, the winds from storms were so ferocious, still ferocious with the entire trees and poles coming down. Numerous trees were reported down in Lower Marion Township, including right here in our parking lot at 1 Bala Plaza and snapped.
in Ben Salem Township where they fell onto cars. Trees also fell into houses in Westtown and East Marlborough Township, Chester County and Thornton, Delaware County and gusts of nearly 60 miles per hour were measured in Coatesville. On the plus side though, it did knock back the heat as we told you in the forecast at the airport it shaved off 20 degrees outside
which peaked at 93 earlier in the afternoon. Today, dry and comfortable, highs in the mid-80s. Long-duration heat wave, though, is going to begin during the weekend. Temperatures could hit 90 tomorrow, past 90 Sunday, and approach 100 next week, a mark that Philadelphia has not reached officially since 2012. That is the longest interval between 100
degree readings in the city since the early 1900s. Yeah, first I'm walking out to the car this morning, I'm like, wow, this is really, the pause that refreshes, when I got in the car, it was showing 64 degrees. Yeah. So a departure from what we had before. Yep. So we're going to dive into a full discussion on this in a little while, because there's a lot to talk about. There's debris all over the place, obviously, and some people had some serious damage that took place last night. So we'll get into that in a little while. Some other stories, though. Police are searching for a suspect in
They say shot and stabbed the man at the Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne. The incident occurred at a SEPTA bus stop outside the JCPenney on 2300 Lincoln Highway late yesterday afternoon. Police said a man was shot and stabbed in the arm by an unidentified suspect. The victim then ran inside the mall for help, prompting a response from police.
Middletown Township Police later stated the shooting was isolated, however, and the shooter and the victim knew each other. Middletown Township Police Chief Joseph Bartirilla said, Was it ever an active shooter in terms of how we think of active shooter? No. Was it a shooting and was there danger to the public because we had a shooter on the loose? Absolutely.
According to police, the shooter fled the area immediately and is still at large while the victim is in the hospital. They have not yet revealed his condition. The Oxford Valley Mall is currently closed and police are warning residents to stay away from the area.
And then finally, next week, Wawa will host its annual Hoagie Day as it kicks off the Welcome America celebration. The Hoagie Day events begin at 5 a.m. on June 26th at the National Constitution Center. More than 150 Wawa workers will be building 25,000 turkey shorty hoagies until 11 a.m.
The first 11,000 hoagies will be donated to Phil Abundance, Police Athletic League, and Veterans Multi-Service Center. And after that, the hoagies will be distributed to the public at noon on Arch Street between 5th and 6th Streets. This year, Wawa workers will be celebrated as Hoagie Day MVP's Most Valuable Preparers with recognition by Eagles legend Brandon Graham, followed by a check presentation from Wawa to the Eagles Autism Foundation for Sensory Friendly Programs. And this will be the first time in...
over a decade that we will not be hosting the event. How did that happen? We're going to be at Hershey Park. That's right. So, unfortunately, we're going to miss out on this one, but it is a great time if you have a chance. You know, I was thinking, you revealed, Preston, that there are now more Wawa's in Florida than there are in Pennsylvania. But they're not doing a Welcome America thing, are they? Not the hoagie day, baby. Not the hoagie day. All right, in sports this morning. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
Ball tracks are young. Ball tracks are young! What the f*** is that? All right, Nick, give it to us. The Phillies won again. They beat the Marlins 2-1 last night in Miami. Kyle Schwarber hit a tie-breaking solo home run in the eighth. Christopher Sanchez pitched eight strong innings, and the Phillies took three of four from the Marlins in this year. Let's go!
Sanchez improved to 6-2. He allowed five hits, one run, and struck out four. Schrober put the Phils ahead in the eighth when he connected on a sinker from reliever Anthony Bender. He crushed a 420-foot home run to right center. Schrober has 23 home runs this season, trailing only Shohei Otani for the most in the National League. The Phils are back home tonight. They open up a series against the New York Mets, who've lost six games in a row. The two teams are now tied for first place in the NL East. Zach Wheeler will get the start tonight, and the first pitch is scheduled for 7-15.
in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Pacers avoided elimination, kept the series going with a 108-91 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder last night in Indianapolis. Obi Toppin scored 20 points. Andrew Nembhard added 17, and the Pacers forced a winner take all Game 7. Former Sixer T.J. McConnell provided another spark off of the bench.
He finished with 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists for Indiana. Game 7 is the first in the NBA Finals since 2016, and it's on Sunday night in Oklahoma City. Tip-off will be at 8 o'clock. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.
Don't envy you.
That was hairy, man. And there was a lot of people having to deal with that. So we'll get into the nitty gritty a little bit later on. But we do have a couple of things to bring you up to speed on. We'll give away our Word of the Week prize. We have that Pau Hana tiki boat experience that somebody is going to win before the end of the program. We're also going to have multiple chances for you to join us for the Hershey Park Live broadcast, which is less than a week away now. It's next Thursday.
So listen for your opportunity to grab some freebies there. We're going to check in with our friends at 6 ABC, Matt and Aliana. We'll do that actually in just a few minutes. And later on this morning in our studio, Steve-O is going to be here. He is at Helium Comedy Club. We spoke to him a couple weeks ago, a week and a half ago or so via Zoom. But he will be here in our studio or he is scheduled to be. We'll see if his bus can get around all the gas.
garbage in our parking lot from all the trees that got knocked down. Did he spend the night? Was that ostensibly the plan? That was the plan. I don't know if he did or not. Is he in an RV case? Yeah. Then he's here. I saw it on the drive-in this morning. But yeah, man, the back parking lot is still a mess.
Yeah, it's bad. Really, really bad. A portion of our roof got blown off last night. It was insane. So, all right, Steve-O's going to be here in the 9 o'clock hour. We'll do the connoisseur at some point today, too. So we'll have a chance to win some freebies from Acme in there. So we've got a lot on our plate. We'll get to it all throughout the course of the program. So let's go ahead and break. Come back in a moment. Stupid Question Entertainment Report, 6 ABC Check-In, and all that as we begin next.
this really nasty looking Friday. Actually, it's a beautiful looking day. It is. There's a lot of garbage on the roads. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Hey,

Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show.
Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. Stupid question time. We are going to give away a four-pack of grandstand tickets to the Autotrader Echo Park Automotive 400 NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday, July 20th at the Dover Motor Speedway. Here's your question.
How many secret herbs and spices are in the original recipe chicken at KFC? 610-660-9333 is our number. So reach out to us now if you happen to know that answer. All right. How many secret herbs and spices are in the original recipe chicken at KFC? Hey, guys. ABC, do we have any idea? It's like one minute away maybe. I don't really know. So let me know. It says 38. It says 38? Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Where does it say 38? On the event and guest list. 638, 6 ABC with Matt and Aliana. Oh, yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. But normally I have a lead into that. All right. So we're going to go through some birthdays while we await your answer. Let's mention a few of these. We have John Goodman turning a year older. He is 73 years old. We were just talking to Sherry Oteri who said he was one of the best SNL guest hosts ever.
That she ever encountered. That's right. Yeah. And I was just reminiscing, you know, with his credits and one that I try not to forget that he was in is Revenge of the Nerds. Oh, yes. The coach. Yes. King Ralph, we had just mentioned recently. King Ralph is a guilty pleasure of mine. Yeah.
Argo is another terrific great role for him but he's just been in everything man. Gemstones man Righteous Gemstones he's I mean that's he's currently working and he's working at a high caliber. Flight with Denzel Washington. Yeah man. Oh that's right I forgot he was his dealer. Uh huh. So he turns 73 years old today.
It's Nicole Kidman's birthday, and she turns 58 years old. Miss AMC Theaters. Great actress, right? Remember that commercial? First movie I saw her in was that movie where she is...
On a boat? Yeah. Yeah, and it's quite a little film, but it's a suspense thriller. I remember that. She had really tight, curly hair. Is it Dead Still or something like Dead Calm? Dead Calm, I think is what that is, Steve. So what's the premise? She's on a boat, and what happens? She's with her boyfriend, and they rescue a guy on a disabled boat, and he ends up terrorizing them. Oh, yeah, that's a scary movie. Yeah, yeah. So she is 58 years old today. Josh Lucas, the actor, is 54 years old.
He's in Dazed and Confused. I know you haven't seen it yet, Press, but it is available on a streaming platform. It is free. Do you know what he's made a main job now? He's a very good break. Yeah, Ford versus Ferrari. He's excellent in that. You need him to be that miserable. And in A Beautiful Mind, he's kind of a foil in that movie as well. But Sweet Home Alabama, he's, you know.
He's a hunky guy. He is a hunky guy. So he is 54 today. I don't think he's in Dazed and Confused. Am I mistaking him for Cole Hauser? You are. I am. Yeah. Because they're both in Yellowstone. You're thinking of Parker Posey. No, no, no, no. But Cole Hauser is also in Yellowstone. Well, he plays Rip in Yellowstone. Is Josh Lucas in Yellowstone? He is, but like... Not very much? Not very much. This is a good song, though. It is. He turned...
It's a hunky song. That is a great song. He is 54 years old today. Christopher Mintz Plaza. Is that how you say his name? Or Plays or whatever. Yeah, he was in Superbad. Oh, wait, we have 10 seconds before we're going on 6 ABC. So I'm going to turn this up. And they're going to check in with us. Here we go.
Sabrina Carpenter attended a cell phone-free concert recently with Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. And now the Grammy winner from Bucks County says she might implement the same policy next time she's on tour. Let's bring in President Steve from WMMR. Great to see both of you. Both of you go to concerts, so your fans...
Preston used to play in a rock band as a drummer, so as a performer and a fan, what do you think of this? I like the no phone idea. I mean, listen, when you have been at an event and you have actually taken the time to make those videos, how often have you gone back and actually watched those videos? Like, it's almost never. And me personally, Steve, I don't know about you. No, I always bring a landline, so I'm not...
Listen, it's a little arcane, but I don't like to look at the stage, especially if you're far back, and phones are all blocking your view. The one thing is, though, when they play Every Rose Has Its Thorn, what are you going to do? Right? Yeah, you don't have a lighter anymore, so you got to do something. But yeah, I think it's a great idea to be in the moment and
I see so many people that are spending time trying to get that perfect shot and they're missing out on actually what is happening. So I try to be conscious of that even when something really cool is happening. I'm like, just take it in. You'll remember that. Do you guys think that because Sabrina Carpenter is afraid that there's going to be a lot of footage that could send her to prison because she gets a little provocative on stage?
Yeah, well. She's saying, don't start taking videos when I'm 80. You're not going to want to see my face set up close. But I will say, I understand both sides of this, right? I've been the person at the concert. I went to an Adele, one of Adele's final shows in Vegas recently. Nice. And it was amazing. And I was not using my phone. I had somebody else taking videos. And it was really...
a way to just kind of like fully immerse yourself in the experience. But you do want those memories sometimes too. Well, you know, I think to Preston's point, you take the collective amount of video recorded at concerts, probably 0.01% is actually looked at after the concert. But Aliana, you're right, man. Just hire a camera person to come with you and they take a video of you watching the show. Yeah, you're a news anchor. You should just bring the crew with you. Yeah.
Hey, one more thing, guys. We were reporting that you had some pretty significant damage in your parking lot. How are things going right now? Yeah, I actually got a call from Cecily yesterday because she's like, did the roof fly off of your building? And I checked into it and some debris came up. We don't know to what extent off of the building and flew and it damaged a whole bunch of cars in the parking lot behind. So, yeah, a few friends of ours got some windows blown out and body damage. But, I mean, there's debris everywhere.
all over our parking lot this morning. It was tough just getting in because of that. It was nasty. Jackie Bam Bam is still up in a tree, so we got to get him out. As long as Casey Boy is safe. Yes. No, he's all right. He's okay. Yeah, he's all right. He's without power. Yeah.
And a great weekend. You too. Thanks, guys. Take care. Good to see you. All right. Yeah, yeah. I got a, Cecily said, you know, she heard on social media that something had happened to the building. And I'm like, let me check on that.
By the way, she was phenomenal covering the tornado, the potential for tornadoes, the storm tracking. And when she goes, okay, it's going to be in this area. She happened to be reporting on my area. And sure as hell, bam, it hit. Yep, gnarly. All right, a couple other birthdays to mention. Actually, there's a lot here. Let me zip through these. But Michael Anthony of Van Halen turns a year older. He is 71 years old today. Kind of got the short end of the stick, unfortunately.
I remember we just had this conversation with Wolfie, and we're like, oh, they're pumping him out for the kid. That's nepotism. And then you realize, holy crap, this guy's so super talented. I know. It makes sense. But Michael seems to be a great guy and a solid bass player, great backup vocals. But yeah, he turns 71 years old today. He and Sammy Hagar still work together regularly. They're very good friends, which is cool. Steve, it's Anne Murray's birthday. Anne Murray Snowbird. Yeah, Anne Murray turns...
80 years old today. She's now doing work with Five Finger Death Punch. Snow Punch is her new song. How does Snowbird go? I don't remember. Yeah, it's okay. It's a lovely little melody. A little ditty about the snowbird pressed to the delightful little bird.
It is Twiggy Ramirez's birthday today. Yes, who replaced Ann Murray for Marilyn Manson. That is correct. Yeah, guitarist for Marilyn Manson. Right. Or guitarist or bass player. I don't remember who's who. Anyway, he's 54 years old today, but it's Lionel Richie's birthday. Oh, my God. Last night, I fell into a Commodore's. And...
Sailing, right? That's the... Yeah. Sail on. Yeah, great. I love that song. Sail on is a great song. Sail on down the line. Oh, my God. Dude. I'm writing that down. Yeah. I've forgotten about that song. Sorry, Casey. I got to write this down. I will forget. I kid you not. I was doing all, you know, like this song, Easy Like Sunday Morning. Mm-hmm. That Commodore stuff, and he wrote it all. Yep.
So he turns 76 years old today. John Taylor of Duran Duran. He's on the concert. Yeah, 65 years old. It was a great show, man. They were excellent. John Taylor was my favorite member of the band. He is a great bass player. And if you listen to the hits, like listen to this bass part. He did some really cool bass licks for that band. That's what made me realize that they were
Not just a pop band. They had some... No, you're exactly right. Some depth to them. Did you watch the documentary about them? I think it was on Netflix. No. Really good. Really good. Yeah. So he turns 65 years old today. And then his final birthday... Yeah, last one. Our buddy Mike Birbiglia. Ah. Ah.
is a year older today. Best friends. Oh, yeah. You know how best friends just don't call you back anymore? Yeah, it's too bad. His star has risen. Yeah. And like the booster rocket, we have been discarded into the ocean. Yeah, he's got a new Netflix special. I reached out to him a couple weeks ago because we were talking about him, maybe because of that. And he's like, yeah, I'd love to come on. And then...
He was in L.A. He was on Mark Maron's podcast. So I hold out hope that Mike will be on with us eventually. I texted him again this morning just to wish him a happy birthday. Mike turns 47 today. So happy birthday to you, Mr. Birbiglia. All right. We will go to the phone and see if somebody knows the answer to this question. How many secret herbs and spices are in the original recipe chicken at KFC? And it is Bryce that we check in with. Hey, Bryce, good morning.
Hey, good morning. All right, Bryce, how many herbs and spices in that original recipe?
11. Yeah. 11. That is correct. And I'm an original recipe fan. Hang on, bud. We are going to give you a four-pack of grandstand tickets to the Auto Trader Echo Park Automotive 400 NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday, July 20th, Dover Motor Speedway. NASCAR returns July 18th to 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. Get tickets at DoverMotorSpeedway.com.
A few things to mention. Pope Leo is reportedly related to several celebrities and politicians now, according to the New York Times.
Genealogists discovered that he shares a bloodline with Justin Bieber and Madonna. What? That's pretty wild. Yes. He's related to the Biebs. Probably won't run into them at the family cookout as they are apparently linked by ancestors from generations back. So it's like one of those things. Yeah, but Madonna makes sense because he's working in that realm. Yeah, yep. I know that his cousin once removed his Vin Diesel. But
the family revelations don't end there. He is also related to Angelina Jolie and Hillary Clinton. And on top of that, Pope Leo is a distant cousin of Canadian leaders Pierre and Justin Trudeau. I wonder if we were to cast, because you can cast a super wide genetic net. Yes.
and find that you're associated with a number of different people. Celebrities. Family connections were uncovered by the Cuban Genealogy Club of Miami and American Ancestors. So he's probably all delighted about that. Guess what I just found out? Hey, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are still tangled in a legal mess over a loan that they haven't touched since 2017, and now it's racked up nearly $400,000 in debt. Oh, man. According to court documents filed on June 11th,
They failed to satisfy their obligations on the loan from 2012, and the interest alone has ballooned by $175,000. If only Tori Spelling had someone in her family who had some money. Yeah. City National Bank is asking the court to renew the judgment since the exes haven't paid a single cent.
The original default judgment filed after they didn't respond to the 2016 lawsuit totaled just over $220,000. And now, seven years later, the bank still hasn't seen any of the money. So Candy Spelling is her blood mother? Like, actual blood-related mother? In no case, I don't know. I don't think she... I don't think so. I think she is the stepmother. Okay. And I could be wrong on that. Regardless, she is incredibly wealthy because she's the widow of Aaron Spelling. Mm-hmm.
The couple who split in 2023 after 17 years have five kids.
And they're still working through their messy divorce with Spelling requesting sole custody on top of spousal support with McDermott pushing for joint custody and spousal support too. So they want spousal support from each other. Well, that's not going to work out. A few weeks ago, we told you that Mark Hamill was effectively done with the Star Wars universe. And it seems Luke Skywalker would like to clarify a few things about the story. He was being interviewed and he went into further detail saying, let me say...
They haven't asked me. Yeah. And he said that he did not quit the iconic franchise. He said, it's not like they said, please come back. He added, I don't want to make a big PR pronouncement like this is my decision. I'm just saying that it really felt like a conclusion. My character was given complete closure. I died, ironically, by overdosing on the force, I might point out, he said.
Um, so yeah, it was at the end of the last Jedi and, uh, he did, uh, he did return as a force spirit in the rise of Skywalker. So any chance of a return, if they ask, he said, I just think it's time. Uh, I had my time. I'm really appreciative, but I'm really looking to the future, uh, for all these new projects. He's in, um, the new movie, um,
The life of Chuck. And it took me a while to realize it was even him. Is he prosthetic up or is his hair? Okay. They fattened him up. Okay. Big time. I mean, he's already kind of stocky, but they made him really elderly and way overweight. Big old bushy mustache. Is he a prominent role? Yes. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah.
I thought this was nice. The son of Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet is launching his own acting career. And he looks so much like Jason Momoa. Nakoa Wolf Momoa's feature film debut will be in Dune 3 alongside his dad. Oh, that's cool. He will play Leto II, son of Paul Atreides and Chani. Jason Momoa has been terrific in the movie so far.
The main cast will be returning. Dennis Velenu will also direct the third film. Let's see. So season four of The White Lotus has been delayed after Mike White, the creator, insisted on joining the Survivor cast, despite pleas from HBO executives to focus on the show. His absence, which makes him unreachable for an entire month, has been a blow to the pre-production.
In early June, he flew off to the remote island of Fiji to film the 50th season of Survivor after he became a fan favorite contestant of the series back in season 37. And due to the format of the show, contestants are
are to have absolutely zero contact with the outside world for the entire time that they are part of the game. So it lasts a maximum of 26 days if the player makes it to the final tribal council. But they are expected to give up their belongings, including their phones, before official filming starts. So they can't
They can't work on the show without the creator. He's the writer. He's the executive producer. He's all of that. It stalls completely. And this on the heels of the hottest season of the show. I love season three. I thought it was terrific. But yeah, everything comes to a screeching halt. According to a production insider, filming for season four, The White Lotus is expected to begin in early to mid-2026, which is delayed from the network's initial projections.
And according to an insider, they said HBO wanted to get the season out around a year and a half max from when season three was released. But Mike, being on Survivor and some other production factors, are making this look like there would be a full two-year wait, if not longer, between seasons. But that's not without precedent with HBO. Back in the days of The Sopranos, it seemed like ridiculously long.
for season four is yet to be released. Reports have circulated that the team is eyeing landscapes that are different from the beach settings that made the show famous in the first three seasons. So Norway, Switzerland, and Austria are reportedly all being considered as options for next season. I think if for that show to work, I think you have to have tropical like when they went to Africa, you know,
It didn't quite work. You know, it's... No, no, no. This is for White Lotus. Oh, I'm not sure. With Survivor. No, no, no. This is for White Lotus. Okay. Yeah. Then that could work. Yeah, so I think that'd be cool. And if they go to Austria, maybe our buddy... Oh, yeah! Hey!
Maybe he could work at the resort if possible. I think that would be a perfect role for him. Peter. Peter, thank you, Nick. So in 2018, after playing a dominating social game that included some major strategic moves, Mike was a frontrunner to win the 37th season of Survivor. He's the best. Happy Scott.
Do you see his kitty? Yes. He's taking a kitty everywhere. Oh, that's great. So Mike admitted to whistling out at the final tribal council and downplaying his game resulting in the win being handed to contestant Nick back then. But yeah, it's going to put the whole thing on pause for a little while.
All right. As the classic Sandusky, Ohio-based comedy Tommy Boy marks 30 years since its debut, the city of Sandusky is poised to honor the film. Casey, this has got you all over it with a multi-day festival. Okay, when? Tommy Boy Fest will be celebrated August 7th through the 9th.
In the town that is home to the fictional Callahan Auto Parts, makers of brake pads. In the film, Tommy Callahan III hits the road with Richard and they try to save his late father's company, the Sandusky's Community Hopes fans.
The comedy will hit the road and visit the town's beautiful waterfront for this fun commemoration. So when I was driving my daughter home from Michigan State University back in early May, we did a layover essentially. Instead of driving all nine hours, we drove three hours from Michigan State and then parked ourselves in Ohio. And I tried so terribly to stay in Sandusky. I ended up staying in Elyria, which is close to there. But like...
I know that Tommy Boy is not a real human being and that most likely it wasn't filmed in Sandusky. So does Elyria get the overflow tourism that Sandusky can't handle? No. Dude, this place was so depressed. I found a nice... I stayed at a nice Marriott resort, but it was literally on the grounds of a closed down mall. I had to drive through an abandoned mall parking lot to get to this hotel. I was like,
This is the Sandusky. Sad. Wow. Sad. So this all kicks off with Destination Sandusky weekly party at the pier event at Jackson Street Pier Thursday, August 7th. The outdoor concert that night will be highlighted by the menus of
popular Ohio rock band playing high energy covers for more than 40 years. And all the songs from Tommy Boy that we sing every day. Activities planned for Tommy Boy Fest on Friday, August 8th and Saturday the 9th include a downtown movie and television themed classic car show outside screenings of the movie on a giant screen. A Tommy Wink wingy throw down. What'd you do?
Tell me one. Wingy. Character lookalike contest. A sight not seen in the movie, whatever that is. Sandusky scavenger hunt and more. The weekend will be highlighted by an appearance and Q&A session with the movie's director, Peter Siegel. He will also be bringing his restored 1967 Plymouth Belvedere II GTX convertible, the actual vehicle used in the movie. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, my God.
And additionally, anyone local with the name Tom or Tommy is invited to participate in the photo op. I have no idea what made me think of this this morning. As I was going to the bathroom, I was thinking, and Nick, when you pledged your fraternity, I don't know if you guys did the same thing, but we would do responses.
And sometimes you would have to do these lineups in the middle of the college campus. And they would go like, response, Tommy Boy. And then I would have to go out and do an entire scene from Tommy Boy. But I loved it. And so I had done that. You're driving along. And so I would have to do that.
You know, several times a day, several times a week, and all throughout pledging. And for some reason, I just thought of that this morning. Now you got this story here. Something's going on. Well, also, you know, you watched something last night. You went on a Commodore's kick. Yes. And it's Lionel Richie's birthday. This could be the day. Yeah. This is the Commodore's kick.
Chris Farley matchup we've been waiting for. Should we keep track of the coincidences today? We should. That's two. There's two of them. Sadly, most of the filming, Casey, was... I don't know if it's sadly or not. Anyway, most of the filming was not done in Sandusky itself. They did a lot of it in Toronto, Canada, some in other parts of Ohio. Yeah. And then this kind of surprised me. El Mirage Dry Lake in California. What scene from Tommy Boy is in a dry lake in California? Yes.
Who knows? I can't think of it at all. I mean, they are on a lake that is not dry. Yeah. I guess that's your theory. I guess that's your theory. All right. A couple other things. Chip and Joanna Gaines' new reality show is headed to, quote, their, quote, back to the frontier.
is going to be the name of it. They will transport three modern-day American families to the 1880s as they experience life without all the tech advances that we take for granted today. Just the camera crew. So according to the series' official synopsis, three American families that leave the 21st century behind in an attempt to survive as 1880s homesteaders
Without running water or electricity, they tackle historical challenges and learn the skills that frontier families needed to survive a long winter. So no modern medicine, no medical care? I don't know. Not a single luxury, man. They're going to be like Robinson Crusoe. The eight-episode run premieres July 10th on Magnolia Network and Max. Could be interesting. Listen, this appeals to me because I dig that whole American frontier time. But with that said...
you have people that are literally living in the woods. You had that show Alone or Naked and Afraid. Naked and Alone. Naked and Alone. But dude, that show Alone, people are alone. And all they have is like a flint. It's like Left 4 Dead. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
But this is more of an idea. This is to give you an idea of what it was like. People had to, you know, what they did day to day. Yeah. What that was like. Speaking of out west and living on the frontier, a new network is on the way that will center on TV westerns. It's called West.
which stands for Western Entertainment Series Television, and will launch this fall initially on broadcast stations owned by Weigel Broadcasting, with expansion plans to be announced at a later date. The channel will focus on classic Western television shows like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Maverick, Rawhide, The Virginian, The Wild Wild West, and more. So all Western TV shows. So there's... MeTV handles a lot of that already, but there is another show that is...
Maybe it's mostly Western movies on this channel. Okay, maybe not the TV shows. I love Westerns. I love Western TV shows. This could be something. Yeah, we'll see if that holds. I love the Wild Wild West. Glenn Powell's career is going up in smoke in a good way. The actor is teaming up with director Ron Howard to star in a currently untitled firefighter movie. The story focuses on two accomplished firefighters as they deal with a series of deadly fires in Texas.
Did he do Backdraft? He did Backdraft. Yep. And Powell has experience dealing with dangerous elements on the big screen, starring in Twisters last year and Howard. Meanwhile, yes, directed the Firefighter flick, Backdraft. What's the other fire movie that's coming out? I just saw a preview for it.
Do you guys know what I'm talking about? No. Some arson movie. Oh, man. I'll look it up. John Travolta was in one years ago that was pretty good. He was the fire captain. I forget the name of that one. Similar sort of deal. Oh, it's called Smoke. Taron Egerton. Did we talk about this? No. Or did I just see this on my own? Yeah, so it's a...
and Taron Egerton is the star of it, but it has very similar vibes to Backdraft. It looks like he might be an arsonist. There's an arsonist somewhere. There's murder that's attached to it. It looks really good. So that's coming out later this year. I love that scene in Backdraft where Donald Sutherland is the arsonist and De Niro's getting him to reveal he's still got the love of iron. Urge. Yeah, urge. He calls him a shadow. Burn it all. All right, we have movies opening this weekend. Let's talk about them. Here we go.
*Screaming*
Opening this weekend, 28 years later, a horror thriller film. Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes star. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory and now still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine. Some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.
One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected, but other survivors as well. It's an hour and 55 minutes long. It's rated R, wide theater release, and a big, juicy 93% score at Rotten Tomatoes. Awesome.
Also opening this weekend is Elio. Family animated comedy. And it stars Jonas Cabrabe, Zoe Saldana, and Remy Edgarly. The cosmic misadventure of Elio. A space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession. So when he's beamed up to the communiverse...
An interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, Elio's all in for the epic undertaking. Mistakenly identified as Earth's leader...
Not bad. Yep. All right, let's hit the clips.
From atomic science kits to lawn darts and North Jersey's Action Park, Hazardous History tells stories of the most unsafe moments from the past. And here, host Henry Winkler shares a dangerous toy that he lived to talk about. I had this tube of kind of taffy-like thing. You would get it on the end of a straw. You would blow up these bubbles all the time you're inhaling chemicals. Unsafe.
I had that. I love that. And you had sort of this acetone sort of smell, whatever the hell it was. It was really strong. I love that stuff. A new episode of Hazardous History with Henry Winkler airs Sunday on the History Channel. Here's our next clip.
Bride Hard is chock full of gunfights and explosions and bachelorette party shenanigans. In this clip, Rebel Wilson talks about her injury on the final day of shooting.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. So, yeah, yesterday, as you know, some very severe storms made their way through. Fortunately, we had ample warning ahead of time that was going to happen. I was ready for that. I knew that this was going to be, you know, occurring around 530-ish. Yeah, so you were planning for it. You were out golfing, playing golf, however you want to say it. But so you're anticipating this.
But it became quickly evident that it was going to be even more powerful than originally predicted. Yeah, yeah. Because, and I was watching Cecily talk about it on 6 ABC, and she, you know, when they see those tornado potentials pop up, I mean, they just go straight weather. Yeah. And she was spot on with everything she was saying, and it was pretty amazing. But what I was amazed at, Preston, was they were showing the different cells or whatever, how fast.
fast it was moving. Like the storm was ripping ass. Yeah. Yeah. It was ripping ass. Yeah. Uh, yeah. So we were, uh, where I was playing golf with some friends yesterday and I was keeping an eye on the radar through the whole round because we started around one 30 and I knew that we were going to maybe, maybe finish. Uh, and if not, we were going to, you know, just get most of the round in. But by the time we got to the 16th hole, uh,
I noticed the sky was just getting darker and darker, so I pulled up the radar and I'm looking at it. I'm like, okay, I think we can make it. True golf. We finished up on 18. It was getting blacker and blacker in the sky. We walked inside. We go use the bathroom, walk up the stairs to the bar there. We were at Lulu Country Club. And...
The sky had ripped open. When I tell you that we made it by three minutes, with three minutes to spare, that is not an exaggeration. I mean, we could not believe how quickly it turned around. And then we had a front row seat because this place just had windows all the way around it. So we just sat there and watched it.
move in and we saw so many people come running in soaking wet. I mean, they were out on the golf course. They got stuck out there and they were just drenched. They were talking about how moist the air was to begin with. It was so humid that when it finally busted open, it felt like it was just
buckets at a time coming down. You know what always amazes me is like how localized the intensity of the storm can be because it roared through our area. We lost power for a stretch but not that long. Casey, I know you're still without power. My ex-wife's neighborhood, which is not that far from where I live, they got slammed. There were trees all over and down. And then like
New Jersey barely got anything. So everything on this side of the river got slammed really badly. Steve, I know your area was hit pretty hard. I also saw some trees down in East Oak Lane and like that part, like Mount Airy, East Oak Lane. They got hit really, really hard. And then our parking lot, man. Like the updates we were getting from coworkers last night were scary to me. Yep. And by the way, we want to try this out via Zoom. If you have some serious damage...
That is by you, and you want to check in with us this morning, text the word ZOOM to 610-660-9333. We'll send you a link, and then you can join up. We'll describe it to the radio listening audience, obviously, but our YouTube crew should be able to see what video you're showing if you happen to be able to share that with us. Actually, I got a call from Cecily yesterday, and Casey, I know you want to share a story. I'll get to that in just a second, but Cecily,
she had heard that part of our building was damaged via social media. And so she was checking in with me and I was like, I don't know. I'll check in with Brent Porsche who was here to find out what occurred. And I told her I was out on the golf course and she chastised me. Really? Yeah. She's like,
You realize that lightning strikes can happen 10 miles away from a storm cell. And I'm like, I know. Sorry, Mom. It was so funny. But she was laying the smack down on me. She cares about you. Here's all you need to say. We love Cecily. She's great. Would she stop water skiing? It's your passion. All right. What were you going to say, Case? Well, first of all, I don't think the damage in our parking lot. I don't necessarily think that things were ripped off.
off of the roof. I think there was loose debris on the roof. That's what I think all that stuff. Now listen, it is messy. It is messy, but it just looked like it was... I think it was ripped off. Marissa's got intel. I thought the same thing because Rodney came in here and he's like, look at this. And all I could see was a machine. And I was like, what are you showing me? Apparently the AC unit on...
the top of the building like got knocked over and I said everything that fell was it debris and he said no it was actually chunks of the roof that was getting pulled off. Okay yeah. I thought the same thing when I looked at it it just looked like it was construction material that was up there and that kind of like blew off. Yeah it looked almost like that like the ceiling that
paneling or whatever. Sure, yeah, that kind of, you know, insulation or something like that. But driving into our parking lot this morning, the number of trees that were down, there's a tree right out in front of the building that's down, the back part of the parking lot, like, and the main tree area in between the parking lot and Belmont, there's a lot of damage there. I don't know if you guys saw that on the drive-in this morning, but there are some main, some big trees that came down too. So I'm not surprised that some crap came flying off the roof. So I'm an idiot because I wasn't looking at, you know, the weather. I didn't know what was on its way. And I decided...
Oh, you know, so CCC, it's a Catholic community choir. It's a children's theater program. They were having a fundraiser, PJ Willihans. And so I went to go do takeout last night. Right. And I got there basically right as like the skies opened up. We had bad news.
weather forecast, we weren't quite aware of that. So I had to, you know, it was, the power went out in that place, which is pretty wild. And then I just, I had a front row seat to everything coming rolling through. I was like, oh, this is like straight up tornado stuff. I mean, it was coming sideways. Did you stay, I assume you just stayed in place. For a little while. And then once the really, really bad stuff
went through. It was still coming down in buckets. That's what you're talking about with all that rain. So I was like, okay, I parked maybe 25 yards from the front door. It was like I went swimming. You know what I mean? By the time I got to my car in that 25 yards, I was so soaking wet. Then I drove home and I had to... There were trees down all over the place. Preston, I actually was laughing about this last night as I was laying to go to bed because...
There was a tree down in the street and we were stopped and there was a car that was stuck on the side of the road. So nobody could get by because this car was stuck on the side road. So I sat in the car for probably five minutes before I was like, you know what? Let me get out and maybe try and lend some help. So I get up to where this car is stuck and –
He can't get out, so there's this rammed truck. They're like, okay, we're just going to push you ahead, right? And the car that was stuck was a Mercedes, so he didn't want to... Rammed truck to come up from behind and... So this guy found like a wooden board, and he's putting the wooden board in between the trunk of the Mercedes and the front grill of this truck. And so...
you know, just as like a little bit of a barrier. And so this guy's holding this and I'm left there going like, I, there's nothing for me to do. So I, I hold on to the guy holding the board, right? I'm like, yeah,
What are you doing? This is all over. Would you like to go for drinks? Dude, I swear to God. It was like, I can't quit you. I swear to God. Because at one point, he kind of slipped. Dude, let go of my ass. He kind of slipped a little bit. I got you. I know what you were thinking. I'm like, I don't want him to slip and fall into the tire treads of this truck. So I'm like...
I'm the king of the world. I'm kind of holding on to him like that. I'm like, I got you, Eddie. Draw me like one of your French girls.
It didn't dawn on me until last night. No, you were trying. I was falling asleep. I was like, you didn't do anything except for hug a stranger from behind. That's all I did. When he needed it most. When he needed it most. So I'm on the phone with these guys, Preston, when we're doing the conference call. And it occurred to me, talking about power outages and how quickly it happened. So my power went out. Okay.
Casey, your power went out. Nick, power went out. And we're talking a pretty wide level of coverage. For the first time, I've had this generator at my house for years. I've had it installed. And I always said, if I never use it, I still win because it gives me peace of mind. And finally, lights go out. They come right back on.
And you hear it start up, and I'm like, oh, my God. And I'm like, it's actually working. It's instantaneous, man. My neighbor has one. It gives about 10 seconds and then clicks on. And then also I'm sitting there, and Xfinity –
The cable comes back on. It just logs on to Wi-Fi, and everything was coming back on. And I'm like, oh, my God, this is pretty amazing. But we were without power for about five hours. I mean, at our house, we were not. But, yeah, it was pretty wild to see this morning, Preston, the culprit was clear. A huge tree across my road.
power lines down yeah and when you see driving in this morning a lot of the stuff has not been taken care of you realize what the workers who brought everything back are bringing everything back online had to do how quickly they got it done and then and still what's ahead of them yeah we were uh while the storm was coming through i told you i was uh in this bar and uh
There was work that was being done outside of it, so there was scaffolding set up and there was an awning. And all of a sudden, something broke on the awning and it just starts whap, whap, whap, flapping. And one of the scaffoldings fell over to the side. And those things are, you know, a bunch of metal poles linked together. And I'm like...
If this gets more intense, that stuff's coming through the window, man. You bet your ass. Yeah. And it seemed like... So, Nick, in the news report, and you'd written up the story that there was an area that had 60-mile-an-hour winds. Yeah. It looks stronger than 60 miles an hour to me. At the height of gusting, the lateral...
rain and wind. I mean, it was a little nerve-wracking to see it happen. It came in and then moved out fairly quickly, but during the height of it, I'm like, oh my God. Yeah, that report was out of Coatesville, and I don't know how they measure that...
how do they know where the strongest winds were coming in from? You know, like, obviously you can tell when there's a tornado that might be developing and, you know, Steve, as you were alluding to earlier, Cecily does an incredible job with all that and they can measure that. But, like, how do you know, all right, well, the strongest winds came out of Coatesville, you know? Yeah, well, they've got, you know, weather stations around. I guess. And they use chromometers. They put the grandmother outside and if she falls over... I don't want to go
go out! Don't you see the grandmother in the twister in Wizard of Oz? No, that's the Wicked Witch. Is that Aunt Em? No, no, no. There's a lady in a rocking chair. Not the Wicked Witch. There's a lady in a rocking chair and it might be Aunt Em. Oh, I think it is. That's what that made me think of. But it was wild. And then...
The video, Casey, you were the first one to send me the video of Jim Antez here. Freaking out. Freaking out as they watched those chunks of the roof come flying off. Paula in sales and Tricia in sales, their reactions scared me. They were terrified. They were on the other side of the hall from where we are. And I don't know if we have the audio of it, but to hear them get as upset as they did was frightening to me. Yeah, yeah. So it was nasty as it came through. And obviously...
Their houses got hit by trees, and I had to drive home. And so that was...
Pretty wild because there were a few full-on, full-size trees down in the road. And, you know, obviously that caused backups. And I saw some people who had their driveways had trees falling down and stuff. So now everybody's dealing with you got to get those cut up. You can't move trees that big. By the way, I had a small, relatively small branch on one of these sort of lining trees at the side of my house come down. Mm-hmm.
And I had my chainsaw. Cutting that thing. Yeah. You know, and the weight of a dense piece of wood from a tree branch is wildly deceptive. Yeah. Before I tried to hug my that stranger from behind, I tried. Call me. I tried to move a branch. You know, I'm like, I got it.
I go to the gym. I could probably do it. Did you tell that guy? That guy was like, yo, you're not moving out anywhere. Look what I can do. Stay right here. I'm going to hug you some more. I just want to try moving this tree branch. Hey, stranger. I'm strong. Why don't you check out my muscles, stranger? I go to the gym every day. Hey, we were on Jake and Elmer.
jangentown road yesterday and saw a tree on the wires over the train tracks uh by ardsley train station uh and it was on fire wow so i'm guessing that's why the jangentown road uh between tyson and ed hill is still closed so yeah there were some there were some house fires a lot of emergency calls last night so pretty intense stuff man but uh you know unfortunately
We only have triple-digit weather to deal with. All right. No more storms in the forecast, but by Monday and Tuesday, 101 degrees on both of those days. Case for your area? I actually was just looking on Pico's map. I don't have an account, so I can't check out their outage maps. Wait, so did you lose power?
press or no at your house yeah i mean when i got home the you know i had to reset some stuff because uh the the clocks yeah you know everything it was flashing so yeah we got out of power at some point i was walking around the house like this uh with your flashlight on flashlight on the radio audience yeah i just met the most wonderful man you just go like well you can give me an opportunity to walk around like this with my flashlight on because there's no there's no power i was getting there preston uh
but every room that I walked into, I turned the light switch on. And like, every single room that I walked into, I walk into my closet, I turn the light switch on. I've done that so many times in my life. I'm like, wow, at least this room's definitely going to work. Completely reflexive. That's what you do. Yeah. Of course you have it. Uh,
Oh, we have a Zoom. We're going to check in with somebody. We were going to do an open damage Delphia with our Zoom. So go ahead and bring them up if you want to. Oh, Marissa? No, we don't have any Zooms, but we would love to see some Zooms. I had sent over the audio. Some people had some potty mouths, so it took me a minute to make sure they were all the cursors.
were bleeped in there. Okay, so this was from inside our building here, 1 Bella Plaza in Bella Kenwood, and this features Jim Antez, one of our sales managers, and Trish Long, and who else was there? Paula? Paula Decker. Jim is just so calm under pressure. Yes. He's the one you want to turn to. When something's going south, he's the voice of reason. All right, here we go. This is as part of the roof was being ripped off of the building.
Yeah, babe, I'm not going. By the way, Trish is talking to her husband. She calls Jim big. All right, here we go. Yeah, babe, I'm not going anywhere. Look at this. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Jim. Guys, we need to get lower level, man. We need to get lower level. Oh, my God. The whole roof is coming off. Wow. We got to go.
It's only going to be us. We have to repopulate the earth. Hey, I'd probably be freaking out. I would absolutely be freaking out if I were in that situation. If you saw that level of rubble, and again, we have some pictures. We can put some of the video up in the backyard. Nick's not kidding. There is a substantial amount of debris. Marissa was saying that this air conditioning unit up on top of the roof got damaged.
displaced and was tearing up the roof. Yeah, Tony Harris from our sister station, WMGK, his window got blown out on his car. Oh, man. Rodney's as well. Rodney has some body damage from what I understand. That just sucks when you're living, you know, you park where you normally park and then there's a tree limb on your car. That's what you get for parking in the VIP lot, folks. Slum it with us up front.
Wow. So, all right. Well, you know, fortunately, no injuries that I've heard of. No loss of life or anything along those lines. I did not hear that. I'll tell you this, though. And someone and they were mentioning this.
Because yesterday was Juneteenth, which is a national holiday. And people, I guess, had off. And if people had off, some people took Thursday, Friday. So there might have been less of a rush hour, less of... Listen, I was out on the roads. I will tell you, there weren't that many cars out there. Because just to go to where I was going, at the time that I was going, sometimes that will back up for like...
forever and ever. And there was no problem for me to get to. I went to PJ's. No problem for me to get there. Going home, thankfully. And I was thinking that same thing because when I make a left to go down this main stretch
On Sprawl Road, there was a giant tree that was on the side of the road. And I was thinking, I was like, wow. And at 530, traffic would be a lot worse. But I'm like, there's really nobody out here right now. Do you remember a time in any weather situation where you were really wondering...
If this was a, I'm checking out time? Not, well, when I was a little kid. And any time there was a tornado watch or warning, it terrified me. So we would get scared. We would go to the basement. I lived in, growing up in Missouri, that's part of Tornado Alley, so it was pretty standard. We had tornado warnings and watches every season, multiple times. Did you have a particularly...
Reinforced basement? Was it set up for tornado preparation? No, but that's just where you were told to go. We gotta go to a lower level! We gotta go to a lower level! We gotta go! We gotta get to a lower level, man. We're gonna have to repopulate the earth!
I think Jim's doing the right thing. He is. He's absolutely right. But no, I don't remember. I remember being concerned going, you know, like a storm would get to a certain level and you kind of feel the house shake a little bit. But I don't ever recall, you know, thinking that I was going to die. There was one time where, and I'm at this point, I'm college. I love lightning and thunder. I love storms like that. And Preston,
You know, I would go to the window and watch and so on and so forth. And I remember because I remember thinking to myself, wow, I'm an adult. And the lightning was hitting particularly close. Almost like that scene in War of the Worlds, the Spielberg remake. Where it's like, hi, guys. And I went down to the basement. I was in the house by myself. I went down to the basement because I'm like, this isn't... You know, and it's weird when you get pushed to that point where you're like...
Because we think it's this sort of removed concept. Oh, did you see the avalanche? Oh, did you see this? And then you're in something that could potentially kill you. And you're like, oh, I got to readjust my context here. Yeah, two things. When I was in my early teens, I was playing baseball at – I was in Collingdale. So anybody who knows Collingdale is right where the Delaware County Community College campus was right there. I was –
At bat. So I was in a fenced-in cage at bat. Dressed to see through. No, but I had a freaking aluminum bat that I was holding up in the air. You were just begging for it. And then the lightning struck in right field. And I was like, I'm out. And then I left. And then the other one...
that i actually thought i was gonna die is when i got stuck in a squall and we were deep sea fishing and a squall just kind of came out of nowhere and i was like all right well this is it for us what kind of boat were you on uh just a little fishing boat oh yeah not like a big one it was a private chartered fishing thing i was like 15 almost 16 years old around kind of around the same time yeah essentially and and uh and the captain of the boat it wasn't idiot he goes uh because there was zero visibility and he's like man a little bit earlier i saw a
out there, a tugboat with a barge and a, you know, a thousand foot cable. He goes, man, if we hit that thing, we're done. I was like, why would you say that out loud? Like, you can't, by the way, you can't believe all the things that can kill you out here. Have a great time. I was like, I'm a child. I remember. Did you guys see those sharks? Yeah.
Oh, my God. We rarely come back with the people we left with. I remember one time, again, this was storms were raging down off the Carolinas. But it was a bizarrely sunny day, Long Island. There was Lilco, which is the lighting company. And they had these ramps for launching. We had a 17-foot runabout.
And, you know, we're departing. And, oh, okay, everything seems good. It's sunny. And I see a guy who looks like straight out of Old Man and the Sea. Ernest Hemingway comes in. He's like, the worst goddamn condition I've ever seen in my life. My dad goes, let's go. Let's go. And we go out. And on the sound, on the ocean side, you would get real heavy. But on the sound between Connecticut and...
It was rolling swells, like four or five feet. Now you say that's not, that is a lot. So we go out, the second we go out, I sort of, I took the steering wheel and I'm like, we got to go back. But to do that in a rolling ocean like that, you've got to go progressively strategic. It took about, we went to, we just left. It took about 40 minutes to hang a U-turn to come back.
What's the protocol on the beach nowadays? If lifeguards hear thunder or see lightning or whatever, do they have to evacuate beaches? Is that incumbent upon you to do that on your own? That's a good question. It's like they would in a public pool. I have never been... Nobody's out on the beach when the weather goes bad. Everybody leaves. My wife has got seven different...
Weather app's going. She has weather anxiety. She follows Nor-Easter. Is it Nor-Easter Nick? That's her guy right there. Nor-Easter Nick? Is it Nor-Easter Nick? I don't know. Look it up. I think it's Nor-Easter Nick. So she is gone way before the storm actually arrived. Have you ever been on the beach and actually seen people go running?
I haven't seen them run, but you see the mass migration of everybody leaving. Okay. And it's apparent. Yeah, yeah. And if you haven't been paying attention, and all of a sudden you see people leaving, you're like, oh, damn. Yeah, we got to go. We got to go.
I... Listen, we gots to go! I'm afraid of lightning storms. I'm not a big fan of them. But one of the coolest things I ever saw, there was a huge storm. We were down in Ocean City. It came roaring through. And then, like, just as quickly as it came, it was gone. And then I went to the beach and I watched it roll into the ocean. And I felt safe. But it was really, really cool watching it from afar. You know what I mean? I'm coming back for you, Kate. No!
This is, you guys were sharing stories of moments when things were about to go bad. This is a little bit different than your boat stories, but we were, it was during marching band practice, and we were in this field doing our routines, and the weather started to change, and we got out of there when a few people's
their hair started standing up. Oh, wow. That is a bad sign. That means it's imminent. It legitimately happened. Now, there were no lightning strikes that occurred,
But we were like, dude, look at so-and-so's hair. And it was like, you know, part of it, just in the crown back here, a little bit of... Yeah. The hair was standing up, and we're like, we got to get out of here. He's the last dragon? Yeah. Yeah, dude, I would freak. They say if the hair stands up on your arms or whatever, hit the deck, hit the ground. Yep. So, but fortunately, no one struck by lightning.
Glass dragon. The glow. The glow. I mean, listen, if getting struck by lightning, at least it's over in a flash. You know what I mean? Like, there's no suffering. You probably don't even know that it's happening. We've met people. We had the guy come in here who had the linear superpowers.
Yeah. And the path of the light, the electricity through his body, he survived. Actually, I have a story, a lightning strike story in the Bizarre Files, so we'll get to that in a moment. We do have to take a break. Oh, man. I know. I want to do that now. I know we've got some calls lining up, but we've got to break now because we've got to try to stay on time. We do have some things going on this morning. Steve-O is going to be stopping by. We're going to do the connoisseur and all that.
But nonetheless, it's a clean-up day. Nasty Torms came through the area, so hopefully you didn't have to deal with any damage. If you did, hang in there and get some help, and hopefully things will be taken out. And Casey, by the way, a couple texts coming in saying your area, Broomall, possibly around 3 o'clock this afternoon is what they're calling for. Oh, good, because I just spent like 500 bucks at Costco.
And a lot of that stuff is in the fridge in the freezer right now. Uh-huh. All right. Shout out to Amy and Jonathan, by the way, who I met at Costco yesterday. Back to you, Preston. Okay. We're going to take a break. We'll be back in a second. And we got Bizarre File stories on the way. Stay with us.

Brought to you this morning by United Tire and Service. Get ready for summer travel. Buy two tires and get $50 off an additional service. Don't drive alone. Drive united. UnitedTire.com. A South Carolina man was arrested. This is really messed up.
Whoops. Now, last week, Antwine and a woman...
named Christy Ward were reported missing by their family members. Deputies searching for the duo on Saturday noted that a car was almost completely submerged in the Lunches River near Riverside Cemetery. When the deputy ran the vehicle license plate, they determined that the vehicle was registered to Antoine.
Oh, man.
But they didn't just find him. They allegedly found human remains stored in plastic bins that had been taped shut. Wow. According to Sheriff TJ Joy, he said it's something like out of a horror movie. Very horrific. We found some containers with body parts in them where they appeared to be cut up.
Were they labeled? The sheriff said that he believes the remains are most likely wards. But the sheriff's office is waiting for a full autopsy before confirming that information. Deputies are still investigating. And Joyce said that he expects more charges will be added as an investigation as investigators learn more.
Antoine appeared for a bond hearing on Monday, and Ward's son was at the hearing and pleaded with the court to make sure that he faces justice for the alleged crimes. But yeah, that's messed up. And you've had a number of stories like this where people will chop up bodies and do it. I wonder when that's happening, like when you're doing work, do you put on the radio? I mean, you know what I'm saying?
What's the scenario? You put your earbuds in. The Commodores. And listen, I leave some of these out too. Sometimes they are along those lines, but even more gruesome than that, believe it or not. And I don't even put them in the bizarre file. So they happen more frequently than you realize.
This is pretty messed up. We were talking about the storms at length. A teenager was seriously injured in a lightning strike at Central Park yesterday. The 15-year-old boy was standing next to a tree that was struck when the current from the strike zapped a metal chain he had on him, knocking him to the ground near 101st Street and 5th Avenue.
The team was rushed to New York Presbyterian. He was alert and conscious and listed in stable condition. They said he suffered some minor burns. That's amazing. And here's some interesting stats about lightning strikes. About 40 million lightning strikes hit the ground in the U.S. every year, with the chances of an individual being struck as less than one in a million. And more than 90% of those who were struck survived.
I didn't know that. You did not think that. 90%. But 444 Americans were killed by lightning between 2006 and 2021. How often does lightning hit someone actively being attacked by a shark? Probably never. Yeah. But when you see a lightning strike, let's say a tree, right? Yeah.
With that force and that impact, the fact that a human can survive that is astonishing. Do you remember the ring footage that was recently where they hit a tree? The tree exploded. Yeah. A mother was charged more than $6,000 for a two-hour parking stay.
Yaditi Kaba, who was shocked to find the money taken out of her account for what should have been a $5 charge in a shopping center parking lot. This is in England. She had been out on a trip with her two girls before she returned to the car park to find the pay stations. Not working. Decided to pay the barrier instead. I guess the person that was there. Due to a fault with the machine, she was debited $5.
thousands of dollars after leaving Queensmere Observatory Shopping Center. She thought the 4.5 display on the parking barrier screen was $4.50, only to receive a text message informing her that she had paid more than 100 times that amount for the session. She said it was surreal. I couldn't just fathom that they had taken that money. So despite her being promised the money would be back in her account within three days, it took more than three weeks for her to be reimbursed.
and only after the mother of two had reported the incident to a radio program. What I would have done is just left it in there, that's what you paid, and then had them give you 99 more parking sessions. The lot operator said the fault was an isolated incident, which it is investigating to prevent it occurring again. We've talked about that in some of the readouts when you're hitting a button and you don't see where the decimal point is. Yeah, it could be a problem. A 12-year-old girl was airlifted from South Carolina's Hilton Head Island after she was bitten by a shark.
The girl was bitten in the waters off of Hilton Head's Sea Pines on Tuesday. She had sustained a leg injury consistent with lacerations typically associated with a shark bite. A first responder said in a dispatch audio, she's lost a good amount of blood so far. The preteen who has not been identified received on-scene treatment from fire rescue personnel and was airlisted to nearby Savannah, Georgia for treatment.
Medical attention or injuries were not life-threatening. But this is the second time a child sustained a shark bite in recent days. Leah Linnell, nine years old, nearly lost her hand after being bitten by a shark near Boca Grande on Florida's west coast on June 11th. Witnesses at the scene said she was snorkeling when it happened. She was airlifted to Tampa General.
where she underwent intensive surgeries to reattach her hand. She spent several days in ICU and she said, I didn't see anything. I was just snorkeling. I went up to breathe and then something bit me hard and tried to take me away. Could you imagine? She said, then I pick up my hand and it's all in blood.
Beach goers said that the attacks on the two young girls are an unnerving start to the summer. So in that western part of Florida, they have a lot of bull shark. In fact, there have been bull sharks, I should say, or shark eat ice. But they've had incidents, a lot of incidents. All right. And then finally, you guys probably saw this, but seven men from Los Angeles are being charged in connection with the largest jewelry heist in the United States in the history of the U.S. U.S. Attorney's Office for California Central District said...
The defense accused of stealing 24 bags filled with about $100 million worth of gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and Rolex watches from an armored car. This happened back in 2022. Were these guys wearing president's masks? They were indicted last week on two counts of theft from an interstate shipment and conspiracy to commit theft. But that's huge. Yep.

The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition. It's one of the most iconic traditions every Fourth of July weekend. And now, Pennsylvanians have a chance to participate because Nathan's Famous has announced that it is hosting a qualifying event in Hershey. Whoa!
At Hershey Park for its annual 4th of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. It is going to take place this Saturday at Hershey Park. Fold it back. Well, delay it until we're there. I would be nice if they could do it, but this has been in the works for a long time. So Nathan's Famous says that the top male and female finishers will qualify for the 4th of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island on...
On July 4th, 2025. So are you a fan of Nathan's Hot Dogs? I do like Nathan's Hot Dogs. They're really good. I agree. But you know what I think is even better? And I know you're a fan of? They're crinkled cut fries. I've not had those. Excellent. Okay. Got to try them out. Yeah, Nathan's is a beef, all beef hot dog, I think. And I remember being somewhere where they were cooking them.
And they could not serve them. They had to until they reached a certain internal temperature. Oh, okay. And they wouldn't serve them until they were, I guess, safe to eat. They're very fussy. Yeah. Listen, they have a unique flavor. Yeah.
And I also think Hebrew National is a really, really good dog. Well, they answer to a higher source. They do. But that's a unique flavor as well. Do you guys also like just a little bit of char on your hot dogs? Yes, I do. Absolutely. Barbecued hot dogs. We're eating a lot of char. Yeah. And sometimes, even when they're not barbecued, Steve, when they're on the little roller thing. I'm fine with that. If they've been on there for a while, I kind of dig that. Let me tell you. In my year, I had to run 7-Eleven hot dogs. And then we just jammed.
When they were on the spinning machine and the ones were a little older, people would pass by. I'm like, give me that. Give me that little fella. I'll take that one. I'll take that one home. I don't really like boiled hot dogs at all. They're okay. I mean, I guess like in a pinch or whatever. But to me, they almost always have to be grilled, barbecued, whatever.
I think most of the Nick at the dogs at the ballpark are probably boiled. And they're fine. Yeah. But if I'm going to be honest, at the ballpark, I'm usually going to get a grilled sausage or something else. I'm not a dog at the ballpark kind of a guy. But yeah, and that's only because when I have a hot dog, I really prefer it, you know, backyard barbecue. Have you ever done the classic, put the hot dog on a stick? Oh, yeah. Most definitely. Like in a fire. We used to use...
Did you guys ever use coat hangers for that? No. We would. Probably. So you would, you know, where the coat hanger, the metal, the wire hanger, no more wire hangers, where the twisty part is at the top. Well, if you can untwist that and straighten it out, and then you could use that. Break into your car. And we wouldn't just use it for hot dogs. We would use it for, you know. Unwanted pregnancies. Marshmallows as well. No, not for unwanted pregnancies. Oh, my God.
Dude. I just saw it. Dude, I'm going to give you a little bell on that one. Yeah, now I want a goddamn hot dog. I know. But how disappointing was it when it would... Well, because if you used a coat hanger, a little bit different than a stick. Stick's got a little bit of...
I guess it's rougher and we'll hold on to the hot dog better. And the hot dog would sometimes slip off and fall into the fire. It was a nightmare. Yeah. You know, I pressed it when I, my first years of college, when I was, I had my briefcase. You brought your briefcase because your projects were in there and so on and so forth. And in my briefcase was a bent coat hanger for getting into my car. Oh my God.
Just in case. Or for back room. Exactly. Unlaunched pregnancy. Hey, what do you put on a hot dog in order to make it a glizzy? Is that a Pittsburgh thing? You just put some glizz on it. Is that? Yeah. Just a little glizz on it. I think you got a glizz all over it. I got glizz all over it. It should be looking away when you do it, though. I, until this very moment, have never heard of a glizzy. I thought it was like maybe a Pittsburgh staple. And I thought maybe it's ketchup and mustard combined or something. I don't know. I've heard of thin glizzy. All right.
Nick, pull this up. Glizzy is slang for a hot dog. Often used in online and younger social circles. Oh, so you put a hot dog on a hot dog. The term gained popularity possibly originating in the Washington, D.C. area where it was also slang for a handgun, a Glock handgun, a glizzy.
and then transferred to the hot dog due to their smaller size and shape. So, Case, I guess... Why does my entire Secret Service detail have hot dogs? It's just a name for a hot dog. Okay. So, you don't put anything on it to make it glizzy. Or a clock. So, anyhow, Phil McCann, the vice president of Nathan, said, We are pleased to be visiting Hershey.
As we wind our way to Coney Island and our annual July 4th celebration, he said the Independence Day contest is a tradition like none other with tens of thousands of fans visiting the Nathan's famous flagship and more than one million people watching the live broadcast of ESPN. Okay, I did not know that Nathan's
flagship store is at Coney Island. Is that where they got started? And I've been there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's sort of revered. The one I used to go to though, Preston, it was on Hicksville Road, Long Island, and it had an arcade. And in that arcade was the Terminator 2 game. So it's the best of both worlds. Is Coney Island worth checking out?
It is for its, if you're a fan of the Warriors. Yeah. And they polished it up. You have the aquarium right along the way there. So it's for a slice of history, yes. Have you been on the Wonder Wheel?
I've been on the Comet. Okay, that's legendary. Right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but not the Wonder Wheel? Not the Wonder Wheel, no. So the competition will feature a roster of some of the world's finest competitive eaters last year. Pat Bertoletti of Chicago won the competition after eating 58 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Miki Sudo of Florida became the 10-time World's
women's champion by consuming 51 hot dogs in 10 minutes. She should be just as famous as Joey Chestnut. This is a rip-off. Do they do other eating competitions that day or is it strictly hot dogs? They do, Steve, because Joey Chestnut wasn't in it last year. It was kind of spotlighting a little bit of what was going on. I think they do a lemonade chugging contest and dude puked
All over the place? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know if they do other food, but they do some other competitive eating or drinking competition. Have you ever seen an official pie eating contest? I've seen them at state fairs. Not live, no. Yeah, blueberry pie eating contest. Hold on. Sam is going to jump in here. Sam's a huge fan of this. Okay, Sam, you would know. Yeah, I watch it every year. It's gross, but I'm really into it. So the lemonade, I think you're talking about, there's this guy named Badlands Chugs.
Badlands Chugs? Yeah, so he's like the MC. Him and George Shea are the hosts. So what his thing is, Badlands Chugs, is he chugs large amounts of liquid on YouTube. I'm a big fan of his too. But he did the lemonade thing, and I think he's the one you saw throw up. Yeah, Nick just pulled up a picture of him. That's the dude. Badlands Chugs. He also raps. He does a rap every year. It's really cool. Check it out. Tomorrow's his birthday. Hey!
Sam, do they do anything besides the hot dogs and the drinking? That day, I don't think so. But one of the other best parts is when they introduce all the contestants, they say what they're known for. So it's like, Timmy, you ate 50,000 clams in five minutes. It's like, wow, that's pretty impressive. Other competitive eating accolades. In other realms. Okay. Interesting. Thank you, man. Yeah, because I know there's like a pierogi contest as well. Yes.
And a brat one, too. So Joey Chestnut is apparently back in this year from what I understand. A little snafu last year. What do you think is hot? For a woman, what's the hottest? Is it a woman competitive eater, a woman smoking a cigar, or a woman chewing tobacco? I think chewing tobacco and Whittlin'. By the way, I remember, speaking of women competitive eaters, for the longest time,
When I first moved here for several years, you know, Jim's became my favorite cheesesteak place, you know, the one on South Street. And they had a woman's name up. She was the champion holder of the cheesesteak eating for years and years and years. It wasn't a dragon, but she had a nickname. Yeah. And I've forgotten that. And I think she was eventually...
That was taken away. Not the Black Widow because that's a billiards player, right? She ate the most billiard balls, Casey. No, I know who you're talking about, Casey. Yeah, I don't know. We'll have to figure that out. Anyhow, we have our first clip to play. If you can identify the movie that this food or drink clip is from...
Then we have a $50 gift card from our friends at Acme to give you. Here we go. Kiss me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant. I will spread your pate. I will dip my ladle in your vicious wasp. All right, 610-660-9333 is the number. If you know what that is and give us a call right now, order up. ♪ music playing ♪
So Heinz wants a shot at the first meal of the day. The company is rolling out breakfast ketchup. No! What? Yeah? Yeah. Ah!
Yeah, I have ketchup on hash browns for sure. I was immediately assuming cereal. And occasionally eggs will make it into that. Breakfast ketchup for me usually includes some hot sauce in it. That can too. So a fresh label on the same famous recipe to make adding ketchup to eggs and hash browns feel normal. And it's just normal ketchup with a new label. That's all they're doing. That's the best way to do it. Have you guys had the Heinz...
Ketchup with jalapeno or any of these other versions? No, but I put black pepper in my ketchup.
quite a bit do you have a ketchup on your eggs a lot not no no no not just straight eggs it's got to have other things in it okay just meats uh yeah case you should try the the heinz uh jalapeno okay you will like that yeah well but i like i like adding uh if i'm having french fries um i will put uh pepper in the ketchup yeah man and uh and that makes it a little spicier like it adds a little dimension to it ketchup on french toast
No. Oh, God, never. So on the sweet side, no, but on the savory, on the... Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I know a lot of people do. It's common. How about, would you ever dip Scrapple in ketchup? That I would. Always, but that's what I'm saying. Like, I have to throw either some Cholulu sauce in it or a Tabasco sauce or something. Frank's? Yeah. Frank's Red Hot, whatever is available. Cholulu? Cholulu.
What is it? That's the name of the brand. It's Cholula. Cholula. And do you make up that little lulu part? It's funner to say that. I wasn't sure if it was part of an ad campaign or not. It should be. It should be. My grandmother taught me, I want you to always do it like this. Cholula.
Uh, survey shows that one in four Americans already use ketchup in the morning. Uh, so Heinz is teamed up with an ad with ad firm widen and Kennedy for a playful push. Uh, so they have created, they have created maple syrup style bottles. Wow. Uh,
Uh, in a New York subway ads, a custom wordle partnership as well. And a chatter on Reddit and Tik TOK, uh, about 100 waffle house diners nationwide and 50 local spots in big cities will stock the rebranded bottles. Uh,
including a limited glass version. Dude, it's funny. I like the taste of ketchup. I have no problem with ketchup, but I rarely, if ever, use ketchup. If I have a burger and fries, I will have a pint of ketchup. Okay. I douse that stuff in ketchup for whatever reason. I love it. Completely free of ketchup. Casey, I'm going to blow your mind. Okay. So if you like...
If you like a spicy... This is not spicy, but if you want a little... If you want to add a little more depth to your ketchup, take however much you want in like a little ramekin or something like that and put a couple... Not much. Just a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce in there. What? Mix it in. Okay. You're going to love it. Okay. You are going to love it. I will do that. Yep. So I would say 99.9% of the time I dip my french fries in ketchup. However...
whenever I get french fries in one of those plastic red baskets, that's when I throw the ketchup all over the place. It's true. There is a place, I don't know if it still exists, but I think it was...
It was down near me, Maniac maybe, or East Falls. It was called Baskets. Oh. And their big thing was the French fries and the baskets. And that's the only time I would spread ketchup over fries. Now, when you do that, will you then eat the fries with a fork? Yes. Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes. Especially if it's like cheese fries, like a nifty 50s. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. A lot less messy. Mm-hmm.
Yep. Uh, have you guys ever heard of, I'm not a big mayo guy, but have you heard of Harissa mayonnaise? No. It rhymes with Marissa, our coworker, uh, H-A-R-I-S-S-A. And it is a spicy ketchup mayo combo. And I've purchased it a lot recently. It goes great on anything. I've been using it on eggs quite a bit. Um, but it's, it's good on fries. I cannot recommend more highly Harissa mayonnaise. Harissa. I have, uh,
Rochelle's secret sauce. She makes this every time that we have if we're eating something that applies to dipping into ketchup. Do you know what's in it? Yeah, she makes it right in front of me. She uses condiments if we're at a fast food restaurant. It's ketchup, mayo, and mustard all mixed together. And that's her sauce. Like all the time. Good stuff, huh? It's okay.
I'm not a fan. I don't hate it. But she loves it. I don't like this. She's doing it again. All right, let's see if somebody knows what movie this is from. Kiss me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant. I will spread your pate. I will dip my ladle in your vicious wasp. All right, we will go to David to try to get the answer. David, good morning to you. Hey, good morning. All right, buddy, what movie is it?
The mask. The mask. Correct. Hang on just a second. We are going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry. Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, and right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. Let's tee up another clip to play from a movie about food or drink. And here it is. Two more rounds. No wincing. No whining. And you got yourself a deal, young lady. Yeah.
I'm going to get a hot fudge sundae. Good call, baby doll. All right, 610-660-9333 is the number. If you know what movie that is, call now. Order up. Marissa sent me this story. The Pub, the retro South Jersey landmark that is one of the largest restaurants in the region, is going to close for the second consecutive summer.
Now, I'm not familiar with this restaurant. I've never been there. Marissa, have you been there before? Because she's seemed invested in this. Oh, yeah. We grew up going to the pub. It's right over the Ben Franklin Bridge, right before the like 3870s. So like when we're going to Subaru, it's kind of in that area. It's a steakhouse and it's like classic. Like they have a huge salad bar and it's wood paneling and those big old like wooden swivel chairs. It's a classic spot.
So David Gelman, whose family controls the restaurant on the former airport circle in Pensacola, said last year they shut down last year for the season. He said it worked out well and it gave everyone some much-deserved time off and allowed us to do some projects at the restaurant without disturbing business. The pub's last day of service will be...
The break or before the break will be on June 29th and then business will resume September 19th. So, yeah, they're going to take the summer off. It's weird when you see it in this day and age where businesses will close down for the summer or even close for vacation. You see it sporadically, but it used to be fairly common. Yeah, there's a chocolate shop just over the bridge from Comerberry Bridge.
Oh, yeah. Called the Mask Chocolate. And they basically closed from like starting now. And they closed for the entire summer. They closed in the summertime? Yeah. With all the traffic going over that bridge. Yeah. I'm surprised. It's a bold move, Cotton. I'd heard that they have...
They have some kind of concoction there that is like crack. I heard the same thing. Yeah. Is it maybe like peanut butter or something? I don't know, but it's been suggested to me. I have not been there. Is that the place case that used to be a coffee shop years ago? I don't know. Okay, because there's a building that's been the same building for a long period of time and it's had a bunch of different businesses. And when you go over the Commodore Barry Bridge and you're headed towards 320, right? 322. 322, yeah. Is it on the left-hand side? It's on the left-hand side. Yeah, okay. I know what you're talking about. I'm not familiar. Think about
all the energy it takes to keep that place cold enough so the chocolate doesn't melt. It says it's open now, so I don't know when officially it'll close. I had heard that they close right after Easter or something like that, so I don't want to say this live on the air. People don't go there. Casey told me.
My bad. It is becoming a little more common for restaurants and places to at least close down like one day a week, too, like a Monday or a Tuesday. All right. So back to the pub. Summertime traditionally is slow at the pub, which can seat about 1,200 people. Whoa. In what resembles a medieval banquet room, according to this article, festooned with war flag swords and assorted taxidermy beneath wooden beams as well as smaller dining rooms and bars. I think this is Michael Klein wrote this, right? Yeah. I think this article, yeah.
So Gelman said that he was not sure if the summertime closing will become a regular occurrence. Last year, he said it's six open hearths.
Sat cold as workers fixed the roof, replaced kitchen equipment, painted and replaced carpets. An estimated price tag of nearly $250,000 worth of improvements. Wow, so you just mentioned the word medieval. Where is the closest medieval times to us? Right outside of New York City. Right outside. I've been there. North on the Jersey Turnpike, right? Yeah. Garden State Parkway. Yeah, Steve, as you're working your way up, you can see it.
off the side of the road. Oh, okay. And I was right. So, Damascus, they closed down Easter Sunday and then they're closed until October 1st. Oh, wow. That's a long chunk. Yeah, it is. So, the work they're going to do this year includes upgrades on the plumbing, air conditioning, and kitchen. Some carpeting will be replaced again. Um,
He said about 120 people, cooks, waiters, dishwashers, managers, and workers in the on-site laundry room work there on a peak night. 120 people working there. That's how big this place is. And they're apparently going to sand and make smoother the glory holes. On a typical Saturday night.
They don't have glory holes. No, no, I just made that up. 700 to 1,000 customers cycle through, and the restaurant will roast 10 to 15 of the best-selling prime ribs, each weighing 12 to 15 pounds. That's insane. The pub opened in 1951 and was rebuilt in the early 1960s after they had a fire there. So they're going to be closing up for the summer, so just heads up. All right, we'll play this clip again, see if somebody knows what it's from. Two more rounds. No wincing, no whining, and you got yourself a deal, young lady. Yes.
I'm going to get a hot fudge sundae. Good call, baby doll. We are going to go to Michelle, see if she knows the answer to that. Hi, Michelle. Morning. Morning. All right, Michelle, name the movie.
It is kick-ass. It is. The great kick-ass. Hang on a second, Michelle. We are going to give you that $50 Acme Markets gift card. You have got to try the flash grocery delivery. Gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less fast, fresh, and right to your door. All right. Thank you for calling in on the Xfinity mobile guest line, folks. Let's see if you can identify which movie this clip is from. Or because it's just hunters. Most of them eat fish.
Well, sometimes they'll eat porpoises, squid, birds, sharks. Willie really likes his salmon. That's his chocolate. All right, 610-660-9333. Call if you know what movie that is from.
So Snickers, I did not know that they had created this new candy bar, but they're stepping out of the box with a new Snickers, and I say pecan. I know around here most people say pecan. But a new Snickers pecan flatware set that aims to enhance your candy eating experience. I'm looking for some new flatware. Oh, you have to try the pecan one. It is a golden fork set.
Knife and small plate to make eating your Snickers candy bar, your pecan candy bar, a special treat. That was part of an ad campaign that they had, right? Yes. Way back when in the 70s, Steve, the guy would eat it, ate it with a knife. I think he treated it like a birthday cake. Yes. If I remember correct.
It was also a Seinfeld episode. Well, I remember that, yeah. George ate his desserts that way for a while, and then there was a fad that caught on. But way before that, there was an ad campaign that was specifically Snickers, Nick, yeah. Wasn't there an employer of Elaine's who also ate a candy bar the same way? Yeah, she and... Well...
No, she saw somebody do it and then a couple other people started doing it. I think first she saw somebody, maybe it was Mr. Pitt who did it and then George started doing it. Right, it became popularized. Mr. Pitt. So the new flatware sets are only available in three releases from June 17th and Wednesday, June 25th and can be purchased on the Snickers website.
As I've shared a bajillion times on this show, I worked at McDonald's when I was in high school, and for a stretch at McDonald's, they had the Snickers ice cream bars in the freezer. And oh my God, did I eat so many of those damn things. A little five-finger discount on your part. Holy crap, yeah. And I felt bad, but they're so good and so addicting. Yeah, I hate it.
They're just the best. Yeah, Snickers are my favorite candy bar. I don't eat candy bars often. Mainly it's around Halloween when we've got them laying around the house. But I have dabbled to a couple of the flavors that they've made. The one with almonds was really good. I still prefer the peanuts, the original, a little bit better.
But I'm intrigued by this because, you know what, this is minus the nougat, this is essentially a turtle, which is Rochelle's favorite candy, which is chocolate caramel and pecans. And so you add a little nougat and there you go. So it's going to have a turtle flavor to it. Am I the only one who here that enjoys the Three Musketeers bar?
You might be because the Three Musketeers is just chocolate and nougat. And I feel kind of ripped off. I don't like them unless they're frozen. Frozen, I love them. But that's the only way I can eat it. How about a Milky Way that adds the caramel in? It's kind of the same thing. I prefer it frozen, if anything. I need a little more substance. It has to be. I need nuts. I need big heaving nuts in my mouth. I think that's why you were...
When you guys were talking off air about marshmallows earlier, like marshmallows just don't do much for you. They are sort of the... Nougaty. Yeah, you need a little bit more within the marshmallow. Although, if you combine a marshmallow... Nougaty, nougaty. If you combine a marshmallow with... But he ain't wearing no clothes. With a s'more, I'm all in. Marshmallow on its own? Eh, kind of a waste. Listen, if you're going to expend that...
candy eating to burn it up on a marshmallow doesn't seem right. I kind of want to make my own marshmallows. Homemade marshmallows. So there's this company that we're talking about on the air called Tuckins. And the s'mores contained with it and they would make their own marshmallow. Yeah.
And it was really good. So I had always heard that marshmallows were invented by the ancient Egyptians. Yeah, marshmallows. Right? They came out of the marsh. They were these plants that were mallows, and they turned them into candy. The original pyramid was constructed out of marshmallows. I didn't know that. But it proved not a feasible design in the long run. So I pulled up a marshmallow recipe case. Let me take a...
peek at this. Oh, and by the way, when you pull up recipes, don't you hate when you have to scroll down 50 times to eventually get to the ingredients? That's the ads. A cup of powdered sugar, packages of unflavored powdered gelatin, water, granulated sugar, corn syrup, kosher salt, vanilla bean paste or extract. Tobacco. And it says dark chocolate bars. I guess that's if you want to add other things to it. But yeah, that doesn't sound too difficult.
Marshmallows go back to 2000 BC. Ancient Egyptians were said to be the first to make and use the root of the marshmallow to soothe coughs and sore throats, and then it would heal wounds, and then they started turning them into candy by boiling pieces of root pulp and then added honey. You remember that scene in the Ten Commandments when Ramses offers Moses some marshmallows? Would you like some of these? They come from the marsh. I'm here for a better purpose.
To free the children. These are actually very good. Yes, they may take some with you. By all means. Make bricks without a straw, but have some marshmallows while you're at it.
I tell you what, we're only going to take half the children of Israel. All right. The Snickers pecan candy bar is a new release from the company, and Snickers is the official chocolate sponsor of the NFL, by the way. Did not know that. All right, we'll play the clip again, see if somebody knows what movie it's from. Here we go. Orcas are just hunters. Most of them eat fish. Well, sometimes they'll eat porpoises, squid, birds, sharks. Willie really likes his salmon.
This is chocolate. All right, we're going to go to Karen and see if she knows. Hi, Karen. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? We're wonderful. All right, Karen, do you happen to know what movie that is from?
It is freewheeling. Freewheeling! Absolutely. They did freewheeling. Hang on a moment, Karen. And we are going to give you that $50 Acme Markets gift card. Don't forget that Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast Fresh, right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. We have another clip we're going to play. And you need to identify this movie. Hi, nice to meet you, Mitch. Hi, nice to meet you.
How was the slumber party? Great. You know, movies and popcorn. She's an angel. All right. 610-660-9333. Do you know? Call now. Order up.
All right. Instead, I'm not doing fast food roundup this week because I don't have enough fast food stories, but I do have two chip stories that I'm going to put together. And it does involve a little bit of fast food because Wendy's is cranking up the spice with a new limited time Takis Fuego meal. Oh, go on. Takis are super hot, right? Not super hot. They're spicy, but they're addictive spicy. And they're crunchy. Yes. Like...
They're like Cheetos. Yeah. I think it's like a harder crunch. You know how like a kettle corn chip? Yes. I was going to say that. This is a crunchier kind of corn tortilla chip. Do you like kettle corn chips? Not a huge fan, but I'll probably eat them in a pinch. Okay. Here's the dumb thing. I don't know why I'm imparting this information to you. It's...
But the only kettle chips that I eat are the chips that are included when you order a sandwich from Panera. Okay. For some reason, whatever their brand are is really good. Take that with you today if you're visiting a loved one who's sick. But for the most part, you don't... No. You're not down with it? No. I like them.
I think they've got an interesting texture to them. So this is launching on June 20th. The combo includes a fiery chicken sandwich. Fiery. Layered with Takis chips on it, chili lime sauce, cream corn spread, and cheddar cheese sauce. Dear God, Preston, my pants hog is going crazy. Along with some chili lime seasoned fuego fries in a handy tearaway bag. And this is all at Wendy's? Yeah. Yeah.
Customers can also add a bat of Takis chips and pay the in-app spice invasion game for a shot at prizes. Spice invasion, I get it. Including $10,000 to be won. It has been forever since I've eaten at Wendy's. It used to be fairly... In fact, my... And this is going to make you laugh. In fact, it might even make you guffaw, Preston. Okay. I've probably eaten more salads from Wendy's than burgers. Really? For the longest time, they had some really great salads.
salads. And they included breadsticks. And at that point, I was just dancing in a chorus line. I didn't have a lot of money. Right. No, I didn't know. I remember the old salad bar or the food bar they used to have way back in the day, which by the way, when I was just barely making any money at all,
That was a great way to go eat, man. When you find your jams, you're not pulling a lot. That's why the Fixin's Bar was always a good thing because you could go a little crazy. When I played in my band, if we ever rolled into a town that had an old country buffet, we nicknamed it. It was OCB. Dude, OCB! Yes! We knew where we were going because you could just...
Bill yourself. Casey, what was the Wawa hack that you had at the Ursinus? Oh, well, that was... It was the 13-cent hoagie. Right. Yeah. And all I would do is... Well, you could just buy a roll. So I would buy a roll. And then Andy, who always worked at the deli, would hook me up. Because what I realized, if you got a hoagie with no fixings on it, it costs the same amount. Meaning...
Fixings are free. And so he would throw all the fixings on there for me. Sometimes you throw a couple slices of cheese. Someone liked you. Well, listen, we let Andy into our parties. All right. So the other chip story that I have for you is that Bacon Grilled Cheese has officially won Lay's $1 million flavor contest. Beating out finalists Valentina and Lime. Val.
Valentina and Lime. I don't know what that is. It's a dance team from the 70s. And wavy Korean-style fried chicken. Okay. So those were the other ones it was up against, but bacon grilled cheese, which sounds pretty damn good, ended up winning. I find myself eating less the specialty flavors of...
of chips. I'm a real standard one. The sour cream and onion will be one that I'll go to. Salt and vinegar is my go-to. And then, you know what one really popped up to the high level on my list?
The pre-mode chips that hers does. Okay. Yeah. The hoagie chips are really good. I prefer, I think, cheddar sour cream. All right. If I had to do a go-to for the rest of my life, it would be cheddar sour cream. You and Rochelle. Yeah. Do you like a good old standard barbecue potato chip? No. I've fallen out of favor. I used to like those a lot. Yeah. I think there was a time when that's really what got me through things. Mm-hmm.
In times of Christ. But I'm with you. I don't like barbecue chips anymore. It's funny because I don't really like barbecue chips or kettle chips. But that's literally what I had for dinner last night. Well, it was doctor's orders. Well, no. There was no power. There was no power. So I couldn't even cook on the range because of the...
That's power. The igniter. The igniter, yeah. Do you have any lighters around the house? I was not going to try that. Well, the funny thing is, Preston, it's an electric stove. Yeah. Because we had that one time, and Michelle said, we can't light the stove. I'm like, here, you just hold the lighter. How did you do that? Catch something.
But I had Cape Cod chips, and there were three varieties, and two were like salt and vinegary based. And my daughter likes those, so I didn't want to eat those. Your daddy's going to make you dinner. The only one that was left. No, dude, it was just me with my flashlight on my phone, standing at the counter. This is the saddest thing I've ever heard. It was kind of sad. It really was a little bit sad. And then I got scared because the dog started barking, right? I was like, oh.
There's a ghost. Well, I run out front with my flashlight on my phone. I'm trying to look out the window, and I can't see anything. And then I just waited for like a monster to come. You were waiting for a real-life jump scare. Yes. I was waiting, and it never happened. Do you have any Cape Cod chips? I would have loved to have watched all of that. Did Lace steal this idea from hers? Maybe. All right. That's what I kind of want to know. Listen.
Hers, I love Lay's, but hers is the top. Hers is a pinnacle for me. So the winning chip dreamed up by Paula George from Oklahoma was inspired by her late father's signature sandwich. Over 700,000 entries poured in for the first contest in seven years. My daddy used to make this all the time and he touched me inappropriately.
I'm sorry? He made these chips all the time. Oh, okay. But only three flavors made it to shelves. While only one flavor took the top prize, you can still snag the other two while they last. But that was a million-dollar contest, man. That is nuts. Wow. That is pretty good. I just won $950,000 yesterday, by the way, guys.
I put it in my Instagram stories. It was a Coca-Cola contest that I didn't enter. And I won $950,000. I got an email about it and everything. So do you think it's legit? Oh, you got it unsolicited? You got an email that said you won $950,000? Yeah, I do not. I think it's 100% real. Should I click on that link? You should click on that link. Okay, yeah. In fact, just forward them your bank account so they can put the money directly in there.
All right, we're going to play this clip and see if anyone knows what movie this is from. Hi, nice to meet you, Mitch. Hi, nice to meet you. How was the slumber party? Great, you know, movies and popcorn. She's an angel. All right, we're going to go to Tom for the answer. Tom, good morning, buddy.
Tom? Hello? Hi, you're on the air, Tom. Tim. Oh, Tim. Sorry about that, dude. Hey, it's Tim. All right, Tim, what movie is that from? Oh, that's okay. Hey, guys, long-time listener, Y100 listener. Oh, awesome, man. Thank you. Thanks, bud. Appreciate that. All right, what movie is that from? Yeah, no problem, guys. That is Old School. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Hang on, buddy. We got there. They fixed the delay.
What's that? They fixed the delay, right? Yeah, right. A $50 Acme Markets gift card for you, buddy. So congratulations. All right, here's another clip. The last one we have for you. Let's see if you can name what movie this is from. Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. All right, 610-660-9333 is the number. Call now. Last order up.
Maybe I'll do more than one here. What? Well, let me see here. Nah, this is a good one to end on. So I got this email from Levain Bakery at Rittenhouse. And they wanted me to know that, number one, they are the home of famously crispy outside gooey in the center giant six ounce cookies. And they are debuting a limited edition summer cookie.
It's called Rocky Road. That's right. Yeah. So, Rocky Road. Hey, try this. Yeah. Do you like my apron? It's got smirks on it. So, Rocky Road is a rich cookie loaded with dark chocolate. Rocky Road? Is this your brother? Chunky almonds. Mickey and Chunky. And gooey marshmallow.
And it says, this is a champ of a cookie, much like our very own Rocky Balboa. And retails for $6. And the debut of Rocky Road follows Levain's announcement of their cookie and ice cream collab with Milk John. So they always have to say, a champ like our own Rocky Balboa.
from the second movie on. Yeah. He lost. Just like Rocky, he's a champ from Rocky 2 on. You guys ever had these cookies? No. They're so freaking good. Really? Yeah, if you're ever anywhere near Rittenhouse Square, Casey, you were raving about that place the other day in Delco. Oh, yeah. So this is how I feel about Le Van Break. I think I'm familiar with this place. They're massive, Steve. They're a great housewarming present.
If you're ever going to somebody's place for the first time, pick up some of these cookies. A friend of mine did it for us one time. And I was like, this is a terrific cookie to bring to a house for the first time. Did you pronounce it Levant? Levant. Levant? Yeah, it's a French word. What are you, stupid? It means lemon. What are you, stupid? It means lemon? Like leavened bread? Oh, leaven. I thought you said lemon. Oh, my God. But it's like a... Didn't you go to school or something? Holy crap. Are you still here? What are you? This guy is the dumbest guy I ever heard.
All right, so Levin's. What? I'll never be able to say Levin. I guess you've never been to French. Levin. I have. You've been to French? I've been to French. Did you visit the Eiffel Tower? I did. Actually, I didn't go up in it. Levin's ice cream offering featuring a choice of one of their seven six-ounce cookie varieties.
served alongside a single scoop of Milk John's double-fold vanilla. It will be available all summer long for $10.50. There are... So there's... Again, in that same area, there's the sugary, which does similar things. There's the...
Gold Belly, which is the company that will send Tom Cruise's famous cake to DC. Yeah, from anywhere around the country. Anywhere around the country. Yeah. I think, Nick, they deal with this. Levin, you said it was? Levin. Levin as well. Because, I mean, this is like the best of the best. Nick, do you think it's even possible for Levin bakery to...
have these delivered to us before our show's over. I don't think they could. Listen, here's what I would say, Casey. If they consider themselves to be a legitimate business, that'd be a challenge that they should face. It's a good benchmark. They should accept. Exactly. Something along with the Rocky Road cookies too, though, because I'm not a big fan of marshmallows. No.
I will dive into that though. Just for comparison. Yeah, exactly. It can't be a real experiment unless you have to do a double blind. Yeah, you need a control group. A control group. Send some white mice. Okay. So just wanted to tell you that. All right, let's see if somebody knows what clip this is from here or what movie this is from. Can't even get decent food.
Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. All right, we have Victor who we're going to go to. Vic, morning. Hey, morning. All right, Vic, you know what movie this is from? Goodfellas. Yeah. So that Goodfellas falls in the anytime it's on, you watch it. It's so brilliant. And that final scene to really show where Henry Hill has ended up in this
you know, processed shake and bake suburban. They're putting down sod next door. It's wild. Yep. So he doesn't get any good Italian food. All right. We're going to set you up with a $50 Acme markets gift card. Hungry in a hurry. Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup. Get you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less.

Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme Markets. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show.
Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. So, our next guest we talked to about a week and a half ago. He's on his Crash and Burn tour, which is going to land tonight at Helium Comedy Club. And then there are shows Saturday and Sunday as well. And you can get your tickets at heliumcomedy.com to see the one and only Steve O'Donnell.
Who is with us once again. Hey, man. Yeah, dude. Always good to see you guys. Nice to see you, as always. And, yeah, did you guys park in the parking lot? Did you see all the crap in the lot? I sure did. Wow. I actually slept in your parking lot the last two nights in a row. Really? Yeah. Okay. I got a killer Class C RV with a trailer.
So I'm like 50 feet long. Not a lot of places to park in Philly. Would you go to like Walmarts and stuff like that? I mean, sure. KOA. He's wearing a KOA shirt, which I saw immediately. I love that. Yeah, I'm just like such an RV guy. I love it. Really? Yeah. So I spend most of my time in RVs. Is this your one with the studio? Yeah.
They all have studios. They all have studios. I've got three podcast studios in our views. If you don't follow Steve, your podcast is great. Thank you. And you bring the podcast to the celebrity being interviewed, which is a cool concept, yeah. I got a message from a guy on Instagram. His name's Ryan Gregg, and his Instagram account is busgonewild.
And he says, if you get a chance, show Steve-O a picture of my bus. It almost matches his RV perfectly. So I'll show it to you in a bit. But he says Steve-O is obsessed with RVs and that you drive up and you'll do pictures with fans and listeners out on the road of your RV with their RV.
Sure, whenever they want. Are you like crazy? Because I follow a couple. I don't own an RV. We'll stay in one for the Camp Out for Hunger this week-long charity event that we do every year. I think they're cool with the stuff that they're adding, the amenities. It's pretty cool. But I'm fascinated with the culture and the advances. And I was showing Nick this...
It was a million, $1.1 million RV, solar panels on the roof, like treads on the tires. This is if you go to Alaska and you want to drive into the woods. Sure. Or landing. Okay. Yeah, that's what my new one is. Oh, is it? Yeah. Yeah, I got a regular Class C, meaning that there's a bed over the cab, there's a bed in the back, dinette, like...
But I got it wrapped in camouflage, lifted, converted to a 4x4. So it's basically like an RV monster truck. Wow. Have you taken it off-road, like deep into the woods? Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I haven't had to put it in 4x4 a whole lot, but it's nice to be able to. So other than using it on tour, do you use it just to travel as well? Okay, so what I'm curious about the RV lifestyle, because I would need, when I see people that have the big badass RV or bus, whatever, and behind it, they're like towing a Jeep too. I'm like, you got, that's the idea right there. Because I would need, I'd need a chase vehicle. I need something that can get around, you know what I mean? Yeah.
And do you do that? I got a fold-up bicycle in there. All right. Is it electric or just a regular bike? It's a regular bike. Okay. Yeah. Listen, I love this idea. It's something I would love to do when I retire. Okay.
But the RV can't be big. It's got to be like a sprinter van or something like that. That I would feel more comfortable in. Like van life? You've seen those where they take that Mercedes van and that's the popular one to convert? Yeah. Would you do that? I made a whole video called My RV Addiction. And it started out.
with this little Nissan NV2 where the seat kind of folded down and you kind of make a little bed in there, but it was like the size of a Toyota Camry, basically. Wow, wow. But a minivan. Then that didn't really work, so I graduated to a sprinter van, and that was great, but now it's kind of like a progressive addiction. I don't even do it. It's kind of impressive.
This is not an RV, and I've never been in one, but I'm somewhat fascinated by the Airstream trailers. Right, okay. Are you very familiar with them? Have you been in them? I've become familiar with... I never did well with trailers. Right. Because as soon as you got a backup...
It is a nightmare. It's a skill. It's a skill for sure. And some of these people, if I'm correct, they also have a very retro look to them, do they not? Yeah, it's a cool style. Sure, yeah. But there's a real argument for doing that. I think that they call it a fifth wheel. It's a trailer. I was always too intimidated by the skill required to navigate a trailer. But I've since...
kind of been forced to do that. Are you good? I'm getting pretty good at navigating with the trailer. It's still tough. I still don't like it. But being forced to do it, now I can picture it. I'm surprised they don't have, because now all the cars have the sensor arrays with the parking assist.
Is there nothing comparable in the world of RVs? I can't wait. Yeah, yeah.
Say what you will about Elon Musk, but before he really kind of went sideways, I got a Tesla. Yeah. That's my regular car that I have at home. They're great cars. Oh, my God. It's like the iPhone of cars. It's so intuitive. It's just so incredible. And now it's got this full self-driving. Yeah. How is that? Have you done it a lot? I mean...
I resisted it every step of the way. Even with... It would just stay in the lane at first. But I would keep getting in trouble. Like, oh, you got to touch the steering wheel. You got to be looking forward. And it would just get mad at me. How do you know where I'm looking? Exactly, because I have a Subaru. And the Subaru does that. It's like, keep your...
Yeah. The car just kept getting mad at me. And I'm like, you're in trouble. You're not allowed to do this for the rest of the day. You know, like. Reprimanding it. By the way, it should be my car's mad at me tour. That should be on your tour.
I love that. Right. But now they've really graduated. I was, again, resistant to it. But I got a buddy who drives a Tesla. And I was like, dude, this is full self-driving. The guy's like, oh, dude, you're insane if you don't do it. It's $99 a month. Yeah. And I was like, ugh. I mean, I was like this guy. My buddy talked me into trying it. I figured I would just get in trouble with the car and cancel it and whatever. No big deal. But now I'm telling you, you just –
You don't have to do. And I made a video sitting Indian style on my driver's seat with my arms crossed. Right. And it makes every turn like...
Lane change, like, on the highway. Stop signs, the whole thing? Everything. Do you enjoy the zen of driving? Do you enjoy being... I'm typically pretty bad at driving. Oh, okay. I mean, I'm not necessarily dangerous at driving. Like, I don't, like, speed, you know, like... But I just, I'm a...
what do you call it? A scatterbrain. I just said like, my head is too loud. So I'm constantly missing turns. You know, it's like, oh, there's a turn. I was, oh, I was supposed to go there. So I won't do anything dangerous to try to make a turn late. I just blow past it. So, you know,
I didn't know it was $100 a month additional to get that. That's what... If you want the stop at stop sign package, right? The craziest was when
you know, like making a left turn into like a super multi-lane like road and it's like, wow, it's going to do this? Yeah. And it does it. It does it. What are the rules like if you've been drinking and then you want the Tesla to give you a ride home? What a great question. I wouldn't know. It's over. I,
I wouldn't know, but I wondered myself. I was also wondering, let's say you're at a restaurant or whatever and your Tesla is in the parking lot. Can you summon it? It'll come and pick you up. Absolutely. I haven't tried summons, but it absolutely has it. And you know what? I don't even have to guess. I'm sure that I know what the question is to the drunk driving. Yeah. Or what the answer is to... I think that...
Absolutely, there's no way it would be legal to sit in the car drunk. What if you were in the passenger seat, though? I know, but you can't do that. The one thing it requires is that you sit in the driver's seat and be looking forward. Your head needs to be facing forward, and it will be able to tell if you're messing around with your phone.
Really? So there you go. This is kind of the brave new frontier, brave new world where they're trying to figure out all the parameters of that. There was a for a while I had a level three autonomous Volvo that great, great company. And again, a safe car. And so it was one of those. And I'm like, OK, I'm going to try this now. Drive along on the school. I found it really was useful in start and stop situations.
start and stop. It's just the most boring kind of driving and you can just kind of relax. But Volvo has been working on
basically like hammock bed situations because they do foresee the my car is going to drive me to work this morning and and or i'm going to go on this road trip and it's good and i'm going to fall asleep while it's driving i cannot wait for that i cannot wait to just get in the back seat and uh you know yeah do my thing yeah well i mean you did do tour buses for a while right yeah i still do yeah
It's not, Tim. That's all that really is. So let me ask you, obviously everyone's happy and thrilled that you're here at Back of the Healing. We talked about, you know, when you come to town and the original plan and the Steve-O legend was that you were going to ratchet back on doing crazy stuff and you realized, no, the multimedia approach you're taking on stage is now facilitated doing it in ways you had scarcely imagined. So when you pull into an area...
You're always debuting new stuff. You go to one of your shows, you're going to see some new stuff you've never seen before. Are you coming to town early and collecting stuff or is this stuff you're bringing with you? No, it's pretty high level stuff. The bar for this content is absurdly high. Knowing what we know of you, the mind reels. I'm moving to a point here.
There's been, and I saw this pop up a couple times. You at one point were full steam going to go ahead with a boob job, right? Yeah. And then you found out just physically or whatever it might be an issue or something. But I mean, if you're ready to go that far. The bar is very high. Yeah, that factors into the show. Okay. That factors into the show. I had to go to pretty...
I had to take some pretty drastic measures to correct course and make up for not ending up getting a boob job. I mean, like, to give you an idea of where the bar is at, on my last tour...
I had a medical professional administer general anesthesia drugs into my vein while I was riding a bicycle. Oh, my God. While you're moving? Yeah, yeah, riding a bicycle, getting general anesthesia. Can I give you something? Sure. Okay. This is something that we were going to do here.
Oh, yeah. Because we got to the point where I was so good with a forklift because we would do the camp out for hunger and I would move the pallets into the truck and I could... Impressive. We'll back this up. I was kind of surgical. I was able to stack them on top of each other. And I contended... I was contesting that you could... Or contending that you could...
Put a thermometer on. A rectal thermometer. Insert a rectal thermometer into someone. Using a forklift. Using a forklift. Yeah. If you attach the thermometer to the end of the... Okay. The, um...
Last Jackass movie, there was a bow and arrow with an adult toy on the end of the arrow. A dildo arrow, yeah. And it was all lubricated. I spent hours. It was one of the new guys. Oh.
We call him Zach. Zach Ass. Zach Holmes. And he was just on all fours. And I was back with a bow and arrow trying to shoot this adult toy right in the back door. I thought you were going to get an Olympic archer or someone who would have some skill. That's probably not a bad idea. That one remains...
That's unfinished. Elusive. So what remains in that category from all the adventurous stuff you've done? Because to do this, and we know doing, you know, one hundredth the level of what you do. But we know you put in the effort, you get the props together, you do the things, and it's not working. What is in that category?
We must return. We must do this. List. What's it to Tom? Without giving away my whole show, my last tour, I would go around and tell everybody everything that was in the show. When they finally went to the show, I had kind of spoiled it. I'm not trying to do that again. Let me ask about the general anesthesia. Is that part of this show? No, no. That was my last tour. How did that end up? That one... The...
It required like eight milligrams of this drug etomidate to put somebody under for some kind of medical procedure. Okay. We had 20 milligrams. So we were ready to absolutely knock me out. While you're moving? Right. When...
People get knocked out. That's the complicating factor. And we were doing this in a field with a medical professional in disguise. Highly illegal. What was the disguise? They were wearing like a hazmat suit. That would draw attention, I think. The next one where I did the epidural...
Sprint. I love it. You say it out loud and you realize how ridiculous it sounds. The four-inch needle in my spine injected the drug and then whipped out the needle and said, go. How far can I run? It completely paralyzed me. That one was...
It was utterly absurd. Everything is so utterly absurd at this point. Well, so this is the level that people can expect when they're coming to the show. Yeah, sure. And they're going to see this. I know acutely well that...
Yeah.
You name it, nuclear war. We live in a time of mega threats and the world feels like it's crumbling around us. People need to be distracted from their problems. They need entertainment that's really going to work. You, unfortunately, are a victim of your own work. Yeah, you know, I'm honored to make...
physical sacrifices to distract people from their problems. I consider myself officially to be a distraction therapist. That's my job now.
I like that. Listen, I like that a lot. Do you ever feel the weight of the body of work that you've done over the many years? Oh, absolutely. Because I think of like, I've invoked the name of Lon Chaney Sr. You know, Lon Chaney, we had a makeup artist in here and Lon Chaney Sr. was one of the first to do, I mean, literally would physically bind himself and torture himself to play the hunter. And it's like, and so he,
This was his thing, and he had to keep looking for ways to exceed it with pulling lips back to play the Phantom of the Opera and all this crap. And so does that weigh heavy on you? Yes, absolutely. It's terrifying where the bar sits for my art. With that said, what's important is to just find...
and original, like, to not make things feel tired. Right. Like, it's...
That's really the thing. And, man, I'm just so thrilled with that. It was a daunting task. And I don't know even what another show would look like, but I just know that my head never stops. Yeah. Steve-O's going to be at Helium Comedy Club. Just want to reiterate that. You can get tickets at heliumcomedy.com. There's shows tonight and tomorrow and then one on Sunday as well. Two shows each night, but the Sunday is a one-off.
I want to ask you something completely different. Sure, please do. Do you remember the... Of course you remember. When you were protesting against... I think it was SeaWorld. SeaWorld, yeah. You climbed... What did you climb up? It was like a 150-foot tall crane. Okay, it was a crane. Yeah, a construction site. Did you have that crane there for that purpose or did you just find a crane? Oh, yeah. It's so...
You know, to this day, I get people saying like, hey, man, that was so awesome that you stood up and protested SeaWorld. What you do for animals is so meaningful. And like in the case of that one –
And I've kind of changed my approach to animal activism, like to be more just about positive reinforcement than like shaming and anger, you know? Right. But at the time, what really motivated that thing was...
is that when my buddies and I had just gotten our first drone. Oh, yeah. And so it's like, okay, now we've got a drone. It can film super high in the air. In order to really make a drone, I don't know, like...
like pertinent you know like I needed to find a way to get myself way up high in the air so I'm looking up in the air and I see like a 150 foot tall crane I'm like I gotta be up there to get a cool drone shot you know so I'm like alright 15 stories up yeah so I'm like that's
That's only really half of an idea. You had a banner with you, didn't you? Not a banner. I was like, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to get an inflatable killer whale. I'm going to write SeaWorld sucks on it. I'm going to bring it up on top of a big old crane with a
backpack full of fireworks and I'm gonna we're gonna fly the drone so that we have this magnificent shot 150 feet in the air with my inflatable whale where like I'm getting this message out there at the end of the day I was protesting SeaWorld
like on a random crane nowhere near seaworld people see uh this this figure like on like you know traversing this crane they're like oh what like what's this got a backpack on like who knows if it's some kind of like terrorist activity like whatever like who knows if it's like some suicide jumper and like as i'm up there looking down there's uh it's just like you know a
A fire truck shows up. A cop shows up. And then by the time we're done, there was like some 70 firefighters were involved. I don't know why the response was quite as drastic as it was. There was really no need for all of that. But in hindsight, it was like just – it was the most –
pure attention-whoring behavior. It was more self-serving than self-serving. Yeah, it was self-serving attention-whoring. And sure, I slapped onto it some kind of a cause to try to justify... You just wanted to play with your drone. I wanted to play with the drone. I wanted to get a lot of attention. I wanted to make some news. And I figured out a way to kind of...
make a message with it. I don't know if that's philanthropic or what. I kind of don't feel like it really was. Now, on the flip side, it was...
Within the next couple of weeks that some meaningful legislation actually went through to ban the breeding of orcas in captivity. And that was meaningful. I don't know if I contributed to that.
You probably did. You probably did. I did believe, I do believe in it, but like, again, I'm not out here to pat myself on the back for that one. It was a disaster and I wasted the city resource. I wasted the time of first responders and I'm pretty ashamed of that. It's a very, it's a very, um,
wise thing to be able to observe that people during their day who rescue people could have been in danger in some way. I mean, obviously you're a professional in what you do, but yes. Live and we learn. I'm mindful about not...
being a dick and wasting service. So what I was going to ask, how long were you up there, by the way? It was for a good stretch. Far too long. I mean, I was probably up there for, you know...
12 hours? No, no, no, no 12 hours. Okay. No 12 hours. I was up there for like an hour or two. Oh, okay. But I was like the cops and firefighters started showing up like pretty. What was the fine? It was reduced to a fine? It ended up being rather expensive. Yeah. I remember Knoxville.
Calling me up the next day, he's like, wow, man, this one's going to hurt your bank account, buddy. I want to expand on what you said. I was reading about taking that approach of not being so in the face. And I came to that determination a while ago. And I had different things in my life that...
you start to realize the concept of bridge building and commonality has gone out the window. I'm not going to look to the left and right and this person's my enemy, this person's my enemy.
I prefer to not be a player in someone else's narrative that gets us all at each other's throats and look for more to try to convince, make a case for why someone might want to do what you want to do instead of saying, you piece of ass. And it's a good realization to come to and the way you were very eloquent about your arrival at that. And I think people can benefit from knowing that.
That's actually in the long run going to be the more productive way to get things done. Thank you. I feel strongly about that. And now I've moved to Tennessee. Yeah. I've got this sprawling 44-acre property. Yeah.
Nice. And it's already a bona fide official 501c3 nonprofit animal sanctuary. Let me ask you this, too. Yeah. Pertaining to that land, is it true you found like a cemetery on your property? Yeah.
Wow, I didn't know that that information was out there. There is absolutely some Civil War burial sites on my property, in my backyard. What's the legality of that? Are you obliged to do anything? I don't know about any legality involved in that. I know that...
that, uh, for, for despite efforts to make out what, uh, is engraved on these, um, tombstones, markers, tombstones. They, they, they, they're so old. You can't tell what, what anything says on there. Right. But, um, but yeah, I've heard that if you bury a family member on your land, then you're like out of paying property taxes or something. I've,
Really? I don't know if that's a Tennessee thing or if that's far and wide. But isn't that why Trump buried his wife at the golf course? Perhaps. I thought that there were tax incentives. I genuinely believe there's tax incentives for burying a family member on your land. So that's why the mob does that.
I think, you know, knowing my dad, like, I'm surprised he hasn't brought it up. You know, like, son. I was wondering if you would be able to, if curiosity got the better of you, you know,
and do genetic testing. And they can do that. And find out who those people were or who their relatives are. Ah, that seems a little bit on the... A little poltergeisty? I mean, not poltergeisty. It just seems in bad taste. Maybe disrespectful. Right. Ah.
How many are on your... I'm not even sure. And I've not personally seen them myself. It's a heavily wooded area where these... 44 acres is a lot. I haven't been to that part of my property yet. I feel compelled to say this too. Out of anything that makes no sense to me, burial. Burial. You know the saying...
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Burying people makes the whole world a cemetery. Yeah. I'm doing the cremation route. I want to be buried at sea. I just want my body dropped off in the ocean somewhere and let the sharks eat it or whatever. For sure. I'm looking at your Instagram account, Steve, and I wanted to ask you about the balance between posting stuff online so that that gets attention and gets people to know
reminds them of who you are versus bringing stuff up at a live show versus posting stuff on YouTube or whatever. Creating content serves a purpose, right? Where do you draw the line of like, all right, I'm going to do this and I'm going to do it for Instagram or a YouTube channel or whatever or I'm going to save that for the show? It's a great question. And it all...
Kind of sorts itself out because all of the social media platforms, YouTube, Instagram, are so uptight with their community guidelines. Yeah. That, you know...
when I started doing the multimedia comedy, it really like was an exercise in just lashing out. I'm so fed up with getting my content like taken down. I'm in trouble. I got to be careful. I can't go like, ah, you know what? I'm going to do whatever I want. I'm going to do whatever I
want i'm gonna break every rule i'm gonna have complete disregard for the law i'm gonna film with no insurance screw it nobody can tell me what to do and so that's what makes my show so fun is that uh it's like an extra naughty jackass movie meets a stand-up comedy show it's it's it's gorilla style and it's and it's in in the best ways but you just said something that made me think
You built an entire career on stuff that violates every rule on social media. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I mean, it's all... That's why you don't see, and I assume maybe copyright, you don't see a lot of the stuff that you do popping up because people can cop your stuff off YouTube or whatever and repost it, but you don't see it because it violates their guidelines. Yeah, I mean, there's not a lot you can...
get away with at the level that I do stuff. Like I said, having general anesthesia drugs administered in a field. In a big grass field by a doctor. That's like...
It's so illegal. Is it though to know that you at this point in your career are still edgy enough to throw it out of whack? That you're still unacceptable? Oh, I mean, not even still. I just think that that's just the nature of the beast. And I don't like... I want to be careful too when I say like totally illegal. I feel pretty strongly that... Like...
I break rules, but I kind of do so. You're not harming anybody but yourself. It's you. I pick my battles. I feel strongly. If you're going to break a rule, then be cognizant of the consequences and willing to pay them.
Sure. You know, like I don't like having my dog on a leash. Right. Because every trail, dogs must be on leash. And I always consciously say, I am prepared to pay whatever the fine is for my dog not being on a leash. And I'm such a jerk because my dog will always take off and I'll have to resort to the, the, the,
GPS caller to find where she is. When you, so you do, obviously this is your buddy on the road. We talked about this last time. Moon Pie. Yeah, she's walking around our studio right now. And she's a crash out on the chair. Super sweet. Oh, she climbed up on the chair? Yeah. I love that. But,
But you know how we were talking about that bond when you're spending that much time. I mean, do you, when you go to town, so you get to take in the park system and get out. Oh man, there's an app on my phone called all trails. Yes. It's, it's incredible. Like, like, uh, it's, it's difficult to go anywhere in this country and not have, uh,
absolutely magnificent, beautiful nature trails available to you. You know what's great about all trails too? It's current. We had a bunch of storms that came through here last night. If trails are closed because of storms last night, people will post and share about it. If you're going to a new place or coming to a town and you haven't been there yet, you can go to all trails and see, alright, I can't do this one today because of the storms that happened last night. There's a tree going over the Schuylkill River Trail or whatever. I couldn't believe it when I pulled the RV in here last night because the night before it was...
perfectly fine. Yeah. And then,
Pulled in last night. I'm like, what happened here? We were talking earlier about it because we had the forecast was going to be dicey and then it skipped up sort of exponentially. And it made me wonder, and we were talking about those moments, you know, where I relate a story where, you know, I was in college and I love lightning storms. I love, you know, the explosions and the thunder and everything. It's very cool and very universal horror movie. And then there was one time I remember I was by myself in the house. I'm like, holy crap.
I better get down to the basement. I wonder you, with all the times you've sort of danced on the edge of potential calamity, what is the one thing that shoots right to your brain when you think about something where you thought, okay, I'm checking out right now? Oh, you mean like the quintessential I'm not okay moment? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I've had some of those. Do you have fears? Sure.
Sure, man. I mean, like, you know, like, I'm afraid of lightning. I'm afraid of sharks. Well, as part of our 12-step inventory, like, we got to, like, make an inventory of our fears. Yeah. Which is really when the rubber meets the road.
You know, thing. But I think that my fears are typical of humans in general. You know, like we typically fear losing what we have. Yeah. Slash not getting what we want and being uncomfortable. I can't imagine that falls in your parameter that feeling uncomfortable. I mean, you that's what you relish in.
It's not that bad at all, whatever. I don't even have a particularly impressive pain threshold. I just have an overdeveloped need for attention. Like I crave attention more than comfort. It's literally that simple. It offsets it. It offsets it. I'm not even a thrill seeker. Wow. No?
No, I'm not a thrill seeker. I'm an attention whore. That is a melon twister for people who have followed you for years to not think that you're, I think you'd be the absolute quintessence of a thrill seeker. I'm scared of roller coasters. You got it.
I'm terrified of roller coasters. I hate them. What about heights? You're on a crane 15 stories up. I respect heights. I make no sense, man. You know what? I've actually done... I've rethought my fear of roller coasters because I've had to...
Yeah. Dude, I saw a couple of weeks ago, I didn't know that this exists.
But people, you know, like wingsuits, right? Yeah. People will do literally flying carpets. They will base jump on a carpet. Yeah. Would you do something like that? I don't know that they're doing it. I think it was like one guy did it. Yeah. I was like, ah. Well, the one I saw was he broke the world record for the longest thing. So clearly there had. I mean, sure. Would you wingsuit?
I have done what's called wingsuit rodeo where I ride the wingsuiter. Okay. Oh, that's great. At this point, I've got 55 skydives. Nice. So do you see things like for the world of skydiving, my brother-in-law has done like
1,100 of them. And I think you're running down the clock in that particular sport. You know, like, and I used to do a bit in my stand-up. Like, you know, if you play tennis, you forget your racket, you go home and get it. You know, it's a completely different dynamic with this. So, do you feel the clock is ticking each time? How do you understand what I mean by running down the clock? The odds of against encountering something. There's going to be an accident. Yeah. If you do it enough times. Odds-wise. I mean...
Odds-wise, it's so much more dangerous to drive the car to the skydiving place. That's how you frame it. Even though, God, and this is a tough one. I just went to a new drop zone where I live in Tennessee. Yeah. And...
The actual business that I was at, I jumped three times in one day. My jumps, 53, 54, and 55. Wow. All back to back on one day at this place, like within...
a week or 10 days of the actual same location that we were at being all over the news with the plane crash they had there. Oh, yeah. They survived, right? Yeah, yeah. Everybody survived, but I think some people were in the critical condition. I think that's the plane I was on a week before.
Wow. Like maybe 10 days prior. We sent our intern out to do skydiving and to pee while he was midair. Right. But then he got pee shy and he wasn't able to do it. Yeah. I mean, you know what I did for my last tour was, I mean, it was like totally different. It was my first skydive number one, the tandem. I was absolutely naked with another man strapped to my back, like furiously servicing myself. Wow.
and simultaneously exited the airplane as I completed. No way!
My God. There's more precision than cutting a diamond. At that time, it was the most challenging, complicated stunt I'd ever done. At that time. On the drawing board, where did that stunt start? I'll tell you. It came right back
to my irrational fear of roller coasters, not liking the sensation of falling. Wow. Like the idea of skydiving. If it ever came up, I was like, nope, skydive and get out of here, dude. Like everybody does. Grandmas do that. Like you can't make it if I were going to go skydiving. This was my built-in excuse, my built-in mechanism to make sure that I would never, ever have to skydive.
I said, for me to go skydiving, man, I would have to be butt naked, this and that. Yeah. And you did it. And then it just got to a point where the bar was at that level. I was like, okay, so, you know, when I went about putting together my last tour, like there were like a handful of those ideas. I love that, though, that self-checking mechanism. That's how I'm going to make sure I never do it. Oh, my God. That's crazy.
Okay, we're going to end the interview now. Suffice it to say, I understand where the bar is at, what my responsibility is, and I...
I'm not going to waste anybody's time. Let me tell you, the last time you were through, John, and obviously it's evolved even more, but people were contacting us after the show, and they just loved it. Well, that means a lot to me. Because you don't see stuff like that. This isn't the norm. This is something where you're going to paralyze yourself to make people laugh. So, yeah, it's great. Yeah.
I love it. I love you guys. I love Philly. Yeah. And, man, it's like... I really...
I really mean it. It's a scary time. Like, it feels different, like, right now. I mean, I think that every generation has always felt like, oh, you know, like, this is it. But, you know. Yeah. You need a distraction. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. So you deserve this. Go see Steve-O. So there's two shows tonight, two shows tomorrow, 7 to 9.30. And then there's a 6 o'clock show on Sunday.

Screamin' Swing is being debuted. Before we get to the bizarre file, I don't want to let this go, and I was going to bring it up while Steve-O was in here, but we were having too much of a good time talking about other things. But yesterday we got on a quick conversation about some of the oldest culture
clothing that we own or shirts more specifically and uh we had decided to each of us wear our oldest shirt i can't believe you're bringing this up now why because you gotta stay on it spilled uh sticky sticky buns all over the front of my shirt yeah there's uh we're doing a there's one of our sister stations doing a radiothon and stickies showed up with some
Delicious sticky buns. And Casey and I were in the kitchen in the last commercial break, and he's like, dude, they're warm. So I grabbed one, and I took a big bite, and didn't realize that I had dripped some sticky bun. Oh, man. Well, you cleaned it up. It's just got a big water stain on it. Yeah, it's good looking. All right, what are you wearing, Nick? I referenced this yesterday. Can you move your... I'm sorry. Yeah, I need to see your...
Nick's got his laminate around his neck and it's hard to see the shirt. Okay, there we go. So this is a Pearl Jam shirt. And Casey, I think was a good stipulation yesterday. Do you wear this thing regularly? So this is a shirt that I don't wear that often, but it's from 1998. The first Pearl Jam show I ever went to was at Constitution Hall, September 19, I believe, 1998. Voters for Choice Tour. And it was a really small venue. It was like 3,000 people. And with my buddy Blaze, my brother Adam came as well. And I got the shirt. So it's a Pearl Jam shirt.
shirt from 1998, so that would make it, what, 27 years old? It's in good shape. Yeah, yeah. And I don't wear it that often, so when I busted it out, I think it's still in pretty decent shape, except when you spill sticky bun on it. Yeah, it's nice. Steve, you've got yours. You were telling us about this yesterday. This is the Knight Chronicles. M. Night Shyamalan came in
And I believe it was at Y100. This is when the Devil was one of the movies, part of the Night Chronicles. I don't think they were framed that way from there on in, but it's sort of a collector's item. I actively wear this shirt, so I gotta figure...
23 years. Okay. Right? Nice. Yeah, so it's in pretty good shape, right? Yeah, it's in real good shape. It looks fine. Case, you're wearing pants. Well, I'm wearing shirts and pants. Oh, okay. So these pants I got at the Gap at the Marketplace. I think it was called Marketplace East in...
Princeton, New Jersey. I couldn't think of the name of the town. And I know I got that because that's where my ex-girlfriend and I, we used to meet halfway. She lived in North Jersey. But this shirt, I definitely got around $2,000. So the shirt's about 25 years old. The pants are about 27 years old. And I just realized...
that I have two jerseys that are way older than this. I have a Randall Cunningham jersey from the late 80s and I have a Warren Moon jersey from like 1991. Are you the original owners of said jersey? Yes. Okay. Yes. By the way, our YouTube audience doctored a picture of you in this shirt and it's you as Steve.
steve from blues clues i love this because it's just like the sweater yeah it does green and blue shirt and it's great and i was too fat for for a little while and i just realized about a month ago that i actually can fit into this shirt again it looks like a rugby shirt kind of does you know like a team all right marissa you joined in as well what'd you bring yes uh yesterday when we talked about this i realized that i still have a
T-shirt from the very first concert I ever went to. Wow. Fourth grade, the Beach Boys at the Valley Forge Convention Center in the round, but I couldn't find it. So I settled for my sixth grade gym shirt. You still fit into your sixth grade shirt. From Waldron Mercy Academy. This is what we would wear on gym days because of the Catholic schools. We had our Catholic uniform, and then this is what we would wear on gym days, but I brought a bonus, guys. All right. I'm wearing my JNCOs.
Oh my God, your JNCO jeans. My JNCOs that I bought in probably ninth grade. Okay. And they still have staples from the last time that I hemmed them. Oh my God. I was like, is it duct tape? Is it safety pins? Nope. Wow. They're staples. To be honest, I'm blown away that you still fit into your sixth grade t-shirt. Wow. I brought something as well. I'm wearing the oldest shirt that I
think that I have that I still would wear from time to time. So I got this before I even moved to Philadelphia, even though it's a WDRE shirt. Because my boss, our boss, Jim McGuinn, mailed this to me. Oh, get out. Along with a Space Hog cassette. Wow. And it was just a little care package. And so this is my WDRE t-shirt. I like that color. The original one, yeah. It's like a faded purple. Yeah. And
Now, keep in mind, I was about 65 pounds heavier. So this thing is like a blouse on me now. It's gigantic. It looks good, though. It looks like a casual fit t-shirt. Yeah. Like a smock. Like a smock. Yeah. And it's got the logo on the back. Yeah, man. Yeah.
Preston, was it always that faded or is that just from washes? No, this is mainly from washes. It definitely had a more vibrant purple to it. But I always loved this shirt. It's still one of my favorites. But I brought, it is not the oldest piece of clothing that I have. And Marissa, I thought, you can turn space on that. I thought about seeing if this would fit or not. Yeah. But there's no way. So this is... Is it your baptism outfit? This is my, when I was a...
Oh, that's hilarious. I was in kindergarten or first grade maybe and I was on a softball team. Please put that on. This is my jersey. There's no way. Pretty please. Olivet Athletic Association. What's Olivet mean? It was an area of St. Louis. They're the suburbs. It's a tiny olive, Nick. I was lucky. Lucky 13 was my number. Is it stretchy or is it like cotton? It's 100% nylon. Oh, wow.
That's what it's made of. Real sweaty. Yeah. Oh my God. Yes. So, uh, that's funny. I could, I don't think I could squeeze. No, you die. There's no way. You'd snap your spine. But yeah, I've held onto this. I thought this was kind of fun. No, that's cool. So I think, yeah, I feel like you need to frame that or something. Yeah. Yeah. Do something with it. Put it on a ring. But,
Anyway, yeah, for whatever reason, we hang on to these old things, you know? Yes, yeah. And this shirt has fallen into the ranks of I'm not going to get rid of it. It'll have to disintegrate. Yeah, exactly. So, all right. Cool. I want to give a shout out to listener Sam. Sam is a female and she did the Casey as Blue's Clues.
photo, doctored photo, and she's going to post that and tag us so we can share that shortly. Well done. I just reached into the pocket of my JNCOs, guys, and I found a pull tab that was probably from a beer from my brother's fraternity party. Wow. There you go. All right. Well, thanks, everybody, for participating. Let's get to the Bizarre Five. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Five.
I saw a clip of them like pouring buckets of water on people. Yep.
The new coalition, Southern Europe Against Overtourism, wants cities to cap arrivals and rethink a job market that leans too hard on vacation spending. In Barcelona alone, 15.6 million tourists visited last year and rent has climbed 68% in a decade. So the rent is rising because of tourism? Yeah. The city's mayor has already promised to ban short-stay tourist apartments by 2028.
Other hot spots now charge entry fees or time tickets for famous sites. And protesters insist they are not anti-visitor. They just want fair space to live, work, and sleep without feeling priced out of selfie by selfie sticks. Is this because of like you think like Verbos and Airbnbs? It might be. Because people are using regular residences as vacation panels? It might be because they say Barcelona. Yeah, possibly. That could be it.
All right, here's a story more close to home. A woman was killed by an L train Monday night in Manhattan after she jumped onto the tracks so she could go to the bathroom. Oh, jeez. No. Onto the tracks. No, I know the bathrooms are filthy there, but skip the tracks. The tragedy unfolded at about 10, 20 p.m. at the 14th Street Union Square stop. The 24-year-old woman was unable to scramble back to the platform. Oh, my God.
As the train approached, they did not release her name. And those are all the details that I have. I hope it was a good one. That's a bad mistake right there. All right. Out of India, a drunken man riding a camel on the expressway had alarmed travelers.
He was a visibly inebriated man and was seen riding a camel. Terrifying motorist Ikram Ula Shah uploaded a video of the incident on Instagram and he chased the unruly driver on the highway and stopped the animal before it hurt anyone. In the clip, Shah recorded a camel racing on the highway with a man loosely holding onto its reins. The handler, excuse me, who appeared extremely intoxicated said,
was seen swaying side to side dangerously as he attempted to steer the animal which was running close to the edge of the highway. He was going to go pick up some milk. He was heading to the dromedary. I don't even know what that is. It's a camel. A dromedary? Shaw attempted to stop the unruly animal.
And its driver, by shouting at him to stop as he drove his car parallel to them, he was even heard warning other cars not to get too close to the camel. At one point, Shaw was seen throwing water from a bottle at the rider, who slumped over and fell unconscious as the camel continued to run. When you started the story, it sounded like a classic joke you might hear in India. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Got to change your beverage container every once in a while. Doctors in Taiwan traced a man's fatal lead poisoning to the battered metal thermos that he'd carried every day for a decade. Dude. Blood tests showed high levels. That's hilarious.
High levels of heavy metals after he developed a stubborn lung infection. Oh, man. When physicians examined the container, they found thick rust inside, yet the patient had kept filling it with acidic drinks such as coffee, tea, juice, and even soda.
Over time, the acids leached lead and other metals into his beverages, weakening his immune system, and he died of pneumonia less than a year after his diagnosis. That's horrible. Health experts say that you should choose food-grade stainless steel bottles. Avoid acidic drinks for long periods. Wash containers well and replace them every two to three years.
A three-year-old girl from Montreal who was the subject of a large-scale police search has been confirmed alive. Claire Bell was last seen Sunday, June 15th. Her disappearance sparked major concern and mobilized police and volunteers across the province. She was found along a highway in
on Wednesday afternoon thanks to police drones that were flying over the area. But she made it on her own for a couple of days. Three years old. That is amazing. She's more resourceful than a lot of people I know. Who was alone when she was spotted, was reportedly conscious and able to speak to
The police, despite her being found, the investigation into her disappearance is still ongoing. Her mother, Rachel Todd, first responded to her daughter missing around 3.30 in the afternoon. Todd was formally charged with child abandonment on Monday night. President, they said she was working as a day trader. The criminal code offense carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and she is in custody. Todd appeared disoriented and made incoherent statements during her meeting with investigators.
An analysis of her phone has reportedly showed searches related to children's funeral urns. Okay. I swear they once lowered Jimmy Carter into a nuclear reactor. Officials will likely provide more details about the disappearance when they hold a press conference. Let me do one more story and we will wrap it up. Let's end with this one. Or do we need to wrap it up now? No, you're good. Okay.
Police are searching for thieves who stole a person's vacation fund from a northeast Lincoln, Nebraska home last week. The burglary was reported when the victim returned to his home and noticed his back door was open. Police said $200 worth of cash was missing from his dresser along with
$3,000 in quarters. Wow. Which was being saved to pay for a vacation. A security camera captured two people in a gray Scion pulling into an alley behind the home. The person in a hood entered the home and deactivated the security cameras while the other person waited in the car with a dog. Police are also searching for a duo who broke into eight different units at a storage facility. But that's a ton of quarters. And his plans were to travel to the U.S. Mint, Preston. Oh, man. Right here. To see more coins. All right. And there you go. That's what I have.
In the bizarre file for you this morning. All right, let's take a quick break. We will come back in a moment. Oh, before we do so. Excuse me, man. I'm getting all phlegmy.
I failed to mention this. Duncan, we did our Duncan meal deal workforce visit yesterday. Oh, yeah. And I wanted to give a shout out to Heart and Paw on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia. Ashley Santos wrote in and she had said that they were a growing veterinary organization with multiple locations around the city. And they have their Duncan while listening to WMMR every morning as their ritual. Heart and Paw is the name of the place? Heart and Paw.
Wow, okay. That's correct, on Germantown Avenue. I'll have to check into that. So thank you guys for doing that. And if you are interested, you can enter your office or work site on the contest page at WMMR.com and may end up with a drop-off of Dunkin' Meal deals and coffee for your office. So get on that if you would, please. We're going to take a break, and now we'll come back in a moment. We'll get to the last in question, Trash Music News. Those things are on the way. Hey.

93.3, nobody on them are. Everything rocks. That's Sammy Hagar. New music from him. Yeah. Actually, I don't know anything really about that song other than...
Chuck sent it over to us and was like, here, check this out. I'm like, okay. So I'm not sure what all musicians are playing on that, but it's called Encore Thank You Goodnight. Sammy Hagar. Always been a Sammy fan, so happy to play that for you this morning, friend. All right, we are going to give away a prize. We have a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. This show is going to be Saturday, August 16th at the Hard Rock live at Edis Arena.
in Atlantic City. So the question is, what candy slash confectionery was featured in the movie The Ten Commandments? 610-660-9333. All right, what candy or confectionery was featured in the movie The Ten Commandments? We talked about that around 8.45 this morning when we were doing the connoisseur segment.
If you heard that and you remember, by all means, give us a call. 610-660-9333. While you do that, we'll do this. The trash business is a goldmine. 93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash.

But hurry, it's only here for a limited time. Be cool. You need to read us. What's going on this morning, Steve? Well, according to director Dean DuBlois, Toothless, the beloved character in How to Train Your Dragon, almost looked completely different in the live-action remake. According to DuBlois, live-action Toothless was originally supposed to look like, quote, a drooling Gary Busey. That would not have been good. Joel McHale revealing that were it not for four hair transplants, he would be completely bald.
Mikhail says his lucky break came when four donor matches from his family had their scalps ripped off in a roller coaster accident. And finally, Lizzo calling herself, quote, the baddest bitch out there. We're talking about her dramatic weight loss on the Just Trish podcast. Liz also addressed her seemingly complete turnaround on embracing obesity, saying she still believes in that, but admitted she does enjoy not needing GPS to find her vagina. Oh, my God.
That's your Hollywood chat. All right. Somebody's got to know the answer to this. What candy slash confectionery was featured in the movie The Ten Commandments? And we're going to go to Rocco. See if we can get an answer. Yo, Rocco, you're on the air, bud. Hey, what's up, guys? Yo, man. I'm going to go say marshmallows. Marshmallows. That is correct.

So two exhibitions are set open in Birmingham, England, celebrating the solo achievements of Ozzy Osbourne and the album Art of the original Black Sabbath lineup. Just in time for the band's historic Back to the Beginning homecoming concert at
at Villa Park. The free-to-enter exhibition at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery called Working Class Hero, which will go from June 25th through September 28th, showcases Aussie's most prestigious international honors, including Grammy Awards, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accolades, MTV Awards, Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Birmingham Walk of Stars honors, and a selection of the legendary heavy metal singers Platinum and Gold Discs,

Plus alongside photography and video that charts his journey from a working class kid from Aston to becoming the world's most recognizable global rock legend. Fans can also enjoy a free outdoor Black Sabbath photography exhibition in Victoria Square. That is, it showcases...
Archive images of all four founding members of the band alongside iconic album artwork and fascinating facts about their Birmingham roots.
And outside New Street Station, world-famous spray artist Mr. Murals has created a stunning 40-meter street-long artwork in tribute to Black Sabbath. And it features their iconic logo and lifelike portraits throughout the last seven decades. It's the perfect spot for a Sabbath selfie if you want to head out there this summer. Let's see. How about this one? Um...
Haribo. Is that how you pronounce the gummies? Yeah. Haribo? Haribo. Haribo, yeah. Ta-da!
So they just dropped a sweet surprise for Linkin Park fans. A limited edition gummy mix designed by the band themselves. The exclusive candy, complete with custom shapes and flavors, is only available at merch stands during their 2025 global tour or from the pop-up bus in Germany. Will Linkin Park then do a cover of the theme song for the Gummy Bears cartoon? Good question. Linkin Park mix Haribo gummies are...
are mixing rock star candy energy with nostalgic snack magic, and fans are loving it, even if they're bummed that it's not hitting the store shelves.
Fresh off of a sold-out spring run, Trivium will headline the Ascend Above Ashes North American track this fall. The 25-day outing starts Halloween night in Myrtle Beach. Wraps up December 14th with a hometown blowout in Orlando. Ukrainian metal stars Ginger will serve as special guests on every date with Rising UK act Harriet opening the shows. Tickets go on sale today. I didn't get the full list and see if they're coming here. Nick, do you see any tickets?
that are in our area. Another play in the fine town of Missoula, Montana on November 26th. They're in Lancaster on November 12th. It's going to sound like you're visiting your grandpa. I'm going to go see Ginger and Harriet. Yeah. All right. A couple of local shows I wanted to mention. Our buddy...
Sammy Bile has got a show tonight. It is from 8 till midnight at Sherry Punjab. And his band is called Vile Bread. And you'll find that place in media. 8.30 to midnight, Amazing Cuisine.
and some spicy sets filled with originals and covers, he said, with the likes of Pink Floyd, Blind Melon, Petty, and much more. Even may even play a fish song. Ah, Casey. That's some Sammy Kyle. They're a good band. And then, Nick, you wanted to mention Sap Sapio, another listener and a big-time fan of the President Steve Schultz. Yeah, I love Sap Sapio. We have a lot of ass history together. And he and his buddy Oak, who both were at this ice stage for MMRBQ this year, the Sap and Oak duo,
They're playing tonight down the shore, Fred's Tavern in Stone Harbor, which is a great bar. And that starts at 9 p.m. tonight. So he asked for a small butt plug for their show. Fred's Tavern, Stone Harbor tonight at 9 p.m. Did you say you have a lot of ass in common? A lot of ass history. What is that all about? The first time I ever met Sapio, I was rappelling on the side of a building in Center City, Philadelphia, and he was mooning me. And that was probably 13 years ago. And...
We have a bunch of ass stories that we share in common since then. Fair enough. So that's kind of between us, Preston. It's good to have someone in your life like that. Yeah. They were good, by the way, on this side. They were. They're really good. Sap and Oak. All right. And then the last story is another local event. This is out of Delaware County. Now, Delco has produced some legendary names in the music industry. Ethel Waters, Bill Haley, Joan Jett, Todd Rundgren.
Kurt Weill, and many more. They either grew up or came through the part of the world forever, embedding their story with Delco. So Delaware County Historical Society is celebrating this with a concert fundraiser tomorrow at the Mill at Rockdale called the Delco Summer Social. And the concert will feature local Philly acts Puddled, Snoozer, Fib, and Special Secret Surprise Guest.
I assume that that's capitalized special secret surprise guest. I think that's a bad. I think that is as well. Yeah. But yeah, so they're having that event and wanted me to pass that along to you. So there you go. I just think it whenever I hear the word snoozer, I think of one thing. Is it the same thing as you think? Me? Yeah. Yeah. It was a bit that Steve did a long time ago. Baby, you were pretending to be Kathy's teacher. Yo, baby, this thing's a real snoozer. Why don't we get out of here?
Something about a duck. All right, and that is what I have in music news. We have one final break to take. And when we return, we will give away our Word of the Week prize, and we hope that you are here for it, my friend, because we'd like you to win that. All right, stay put. We'll be right back. 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. Nirvana. To wrap it up musically for the week for us, 93.3 WNMR.
It is 1044 and Friday morning. No sad bro and all this no sad bro glory. Have that clip one more time. Yeah, I think nothing says it better than this, folks. I don't care what's up your ass. You need to let it go because it's no sad bro. That's right. Even back then, he knew. Back then, Rizzo knew what was up.
Alright, so today has been a damn good time. We had a little check-in with Matt and Aliana at 6 ABC. We enjoyed that. We had gone to store and we talked about the storm, obviously, because that was just insane what happened in our area yesterday. I mean, I know there have been more storms, but that was just insane.
uh you know to to coin a meteorological term lightning in a bottle it was like boom came out of nowhere no exactly and i think that's what is uh as amazing and then of course there's a tremendous amount of cleanup and kudos to everybody who was involved last night and restoring power and helping out i know the people who are working and first responders it was quite an undertaking it wasn't in an isolated area so there's everywhere there's a lot of work today
And thank you to Steve-O. Yeah, love that guy. Steve-O came by this morning and promoted his show, Helium Comedy Club. He's got two shows tonight, two tomorrow, and one on Sunday as well. Did you get a chance to go down and look at his RV, Case? Yeah, but you know what? We went out the wrong entrance, and I knew I was running out of time, so I was really only able to look at it from afar. Size-wise, it is the size of an RV that I would feel comfortable driving. Okay.
But he also has a giant trailer attached to it. And that would give me pause. Yeah. But Steve-O was great. We love having him on. All right. We need to do the letter of the day. You got this, right, Case? I'm your dude. All right. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the daily letter. The Preston and Steve show brought to you today by the letter N as in necromancer.

Very unique style of giving us the letter of the day. He savors doing it. I go back and I watch that montage from time to time just to make myself smile and laugh. It's a YouTube video, yeah. It is so funny. We have the links together that particular week of all the letters of the day, Monday through Friday, and it just gets, as the week goes on, it gets more and more intense. Yeah.
And he is so great. So if you get a chance, go to our YouTube account and you'll be able to find that video and any videos that we've made throughout the years. Take a stroll on back in Preston and Steve history and watch some of our videos. And of course, check us out daily because you never know. You might win stuff, too. We do things every now and then exclusively for our YouTube channel and YouTube viewers. All right. We were looking for caller number four and we've got it. It's Debbie. Hi, Debbie. Good morning.

I can hear you. Okay, Casey punched the phone with his fist as he was so excited to say that you were the winner, so I'm sorry for the pause here, but listen, Debbie...
That's why there was that little pause. I was wondering what was going on. Sorry about that. All right, Debbie, we're going to... It hurt my hand.
