No, thank you. Sleep in.

I'll skip it. You come back in an hour. I'll skip it. You want towels? I don't need towels. I need sleepy. You want me to put pillows? 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 sound in the world. Nick McElwain. That last one goes out to Nick. And Marissa Magnata. Here to join me for a glass of breakfast wine. And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Ah-ha!

All right, this thing starts right now. Good morning, friend, and welcome. It is a Tuesday with the Preston and Steve show, and we'll get started with the weather forecast as you know.

And yeah, today's high is going to go up to, they're calling triple digits, possibly 101 degrees and nothing but sun. Yeah, exactly. Now tomorrow, nothing to sneeze at as well. Sunny skies, high of 98 degrees with the humidity and the dew point and all this stuff added up. It's going to feel like it's over 100 degrees. And then Thursday we get some relief and it does come in the form of some thunderstorms in the area. High of 82 Friday, 74 Tuesday.

with some morning showers so we do level off of it and now kristin and steve's news update today is tuesday june 24th good morning and the first major heat wave of the summer is firing up across the eastern half of the u.s this week with major cities along the i-95 corridor like washington philadelphia and new york city getting close to 100 degrees the expansive heat

dome will have more than 190 million americans in the east experiencing temperatures above 90 degrees but it won't just be the high temperatures that will also make people feel miserable humidity will soar with dew points rising into the 70s and that will make cities like chicago cleveland louisville nashville and raleigh all feel well above 100 degrees

The heat has also been record-breaking in the Midwest. Minneapolis hit 90 degrees on Saturday, and that broke its old record set in 1900. On Sunday, the city hit 96 degrees, breaking its old record set in 1910. New York City and Philadelphia have not hit 100 in any month since 2012. So hang on, gang. Here we go.

Two NASA research aircraft are conducting low-altitude atmospheric research flights over our area until Thursday, the Center City District said in an alert issued yesterday. The flights, which are part of a training program, may cause some alarm for people who see the planes and don't know what is happening, which is why the Center City District issued an alert, which was described as being intended for situational awareness.

NASA said on its website, pilots will operate the aircraft at altitudes lower than typical commercial flights, executing specialized maneuvers such as vertical spirals between 1,000 and 10,000 feet, circling above power plants, landfills, and urban areas. I could see that being alarming to the casual spectator. The flights will also include occasional missed approaches at local airports and low-altitude flybys along runways to collect air samples near the surface.

The flights began on Sunday and will continue until July 2nd over areas that also include the Baltimore region and some cities in Virginia. NASA said the flights are part of the agency's student airborne research program, an eight-week summer internship, and involve a P-3 Orion aircraft and a King Air B-200 aircraft. According to NASA, the P-3 operated out of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is a four-engine turboprop aircraft

Fitted with a six-instrument science payload to support a combined 40 hours of SARP science flights on each U.S. coast, the King Air B200 will fly at the same time as the B-3, but in an independent flight profile. Students will assist in the operation of the science instruments on the aircraft to collect atmospheric data.

The training flights are intended to expose highly competitive STEM students to real-world data gathering within a dynamic flight environment. As part of the training, the P-3 is expected to be flown and performing maneuvers in some of the most complex and restricted airspace in the country.

And finally, Adventure Aquarium in Camden will unveil a huge new exhibit when Kaleidoscope Cove opens to the public this Saturday. The 2,000 square foot attraction represents the aquarium's largest renovation project in more than 10 years and will feature over 100 aquatic species, including 10 to 12 species never before displayed at the facility.

Unlike traditional exhibits organized by Geography or Habitat, Kaleidoscope Cove brings together creatures based on their visual characteristics. That includes rare and unusual species that are grouped by vibrant colors and bioluminescence.

Jennifer Porter, the aquarium's executive director, said Kaleidoscope Cove is our most ambitious renovation in over 10 years, marking an exciting milestone for Adventure Aquarium. Every aspect of this new space is designed with our guests in mind, from its immersive, color-drenched atmosphere to interactive elements that inspire curiosity and connection with the ocean.

visitors can expect to see flashlight fish, cuttlefish, poison dart frogs, purple striped jellyfish, and favorites like the clownfish. Oh, I like this. Yeah, the exhibit is built around Adventure Aquarium's waterfront windows using natural sunlight and specialized lighting to create what aquarium officials described as a living indoor kaleidoscope that will change throughout the day.

Technology plays a role in the new attraction as well. Interactive features include a giant light bright style wall where guests can create designs with colorful pins plus a living animated mural where guests can draw their own fish and watch them come to life in front of their eyes. Sounds pretty cool. It's a great place. All right, in sports this morning. Woo! Woo! Woo!

Ball sacks are yummy. Ball sacks are yummy. What the f*** is that? Alright, Nick, what's going on? Well, the Phillies were off last night. They opened up a series against the Astros tonight in Houston. The Phillies took two of three from the Mets over the weekend and proved to 47-31 on the season. The Astros are in first place in the AL West with a record of 45-33. While the Phillies are in first place...

In the NL East, a game and a half over the Mets, who lost again last night. Ranger Suarez gets the start tonight. The first pitch is scheduled for 8-10. The Flyers made a trade yesterday. They acquired Trevor Zagras from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Ryan Poehling, a second-round pick in the 2025 draft and a fourth-rounder in 2026. Zagras is a 24-year-old forward. He had 32 points with 12 goals and 10 assists.

in 57 games last season, but he missed about seven weeks after having surgery for torn meniscus in his right knee. Zegers has one season left on his three-year contract, and then he can become a restricted free agent. He was Anaheim's first round pick in the 2019 draft. He has 186 points in 268 career games.

He was a finalist for the Calder Trophy as the NHL's Rookie of the Year in 2022 when he had 23 goals and 38 assists. In the NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 on Sunday night. The Thunder's win bought an NBA championship to OKC for the first time in that city's history. And the Union return to action tomorrow night. They're going to travel to Illinois to take on Chicago FC with a record of 11-4-3, good for 37 points.

The Union are still in first place in the Eastern Conference. The match at Soldier Field is set to begin at 8.30. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs. That's what I have for you in sports this morning. All right, thank you very much, Nick. And welcome, gang. Here we are. Today is Tuesday. That's a wonderful thing. And we're getting started.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thanks, Chris. So, stupid question this morning. I'm going to give away a $50 keystone to Fireworks gift card. Fire! If you can answer this question correctly. Steve, this was sent to me by a gentleman named Scott Link who lives in Harleysville. And he wanted to test you on this as well. So, we'll have you write down your answer. If you happen to know, what is John Wick's real name? Oh. And it's not Keanu Reeves. Oh.

All right. 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know the answer to that. What is John Wick's real name? 610-660-9333 is the number. Say again. All right. And I'll check Steve's answer here in just a moment. And we'll go through some birthdays and see if you know the answer. This? No, it is not. It is not. It's not Eddie Wick. Good guess.

I know I've heard it before, but I can't recall it for the life of me. So, yes. I lose. Let's see if somebody knows. We're going through some birthdays today being the... What is today, anyway? It's the 24th. Yay! Nancy Allen, the actress who was in Robocop, which she's great in, I thought. She's terrific. She was in Carrie. She's been in a few movies here and there. And her career, she just kind of wrapped it up, I think, in the...

Yeah, in the aughts. She was married to Brian De Palma, who directed Carrie. And, yeah, was working a lot around that time. Yeah.

She was super cute. She's 75 years old today. Minnie Kaling of The Office fame and many other things as well. Celebrating her 46th birthday today. Inside Out, right? Inside Out, yeah. I forget which emotion she was. She also has her Netflix Velma show, right? She was discussed. Yeah, and they replaced her in the second one in Inside Out 2. She was not discussed in the second one. I forget who voiced it in the second movie. So happy 46th to her. It's Minka...

Kelly's birthday today. Friday Night Lights, Charlie's Angels. She turns 45 years old. She's pretty stunning. Minka, yes. We also have Erin Moriarty from The Voice. Starlight.

And she's, I always thought she was a really pretty girl next door type. And then she went and did some face surgery. So she did some face surgery. Which she didn't need to do. Which she did not need to do. Absolutely did not need to do. But I think, I've seen video of her recently for the new season. And it looks like some of that has been corrected. Now we just learned that she has Graves' disease. Is that what she has? There's something. I can't remember exactly what it was. Is it...

It's the one that makes your eyes pop. Right, right, right. It was weird because this past season, a couple of different characters, I was like, oh, you know, the mother guy, a mother's milk guy. Yes. He got really skinny. He must have been on a Zimper or whatever. And she got really skinny, too. Right, right. And I was like, what the hell's going on here, guys? It's wild. When a show starts to take off, it happened with MASH. You remember everyone suddenly had beautiful white teeth. Yeah.

It's like, okay, it's bound to happen a bit. She'll get some success. Aaron is 31 years old today. Let's go back to RoboCop for a second. I should have put these two together, but I didn't even notice it. But it's Peter Wellersberg. Oh, wow. As well, Murphy, the actual RoboCop himself. He was great in that role, man. Terrific.

One and two. He turns 78 years old today. And, of course, Buckaroo Banzai. Love that one as well. What was the thing not that long ago he was in? Yeah. He was a bad guy. He was Star Trek. He was the admiral that ran amok. Yeah, that's right. 78 years old today. Musically, it's a big one's birthday today. Mr. Mick Fleetwood. Wow. Wow.

Turns a year older. He is... I'm going to go with this one. 78 years old today. I'm going to go with this one. Sorry. Okay. There's like... Nothing begins with the drums. Oh, in... Yeah. Yeah.

In the catalog of Fleetwood Mac. Comprehensively wise, Preston, would you say he's best known for Running Man? Yes, probably. Most likely. His one scene in Running Man. Yeah, more than one scene, I guess. Him and Dweezil were a team in that. So Mick Fleetwood turns 78 years old today. A couple other quick birthdays. It is Lionel Messi's birthday today. 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year. One of the richest athletes ever.

They're doing this Club World Cup right now. And so it's the best clubs in theory from around the world. And Miami's team, which he's on, made it. And a lot of people were saying, well, they're just letting Messi play in this thing. They've actually advanced to the round of 16. And they play Paris' club next. And so it's going to be a really big test for...

And one of the best teams in the MLS. The Union are up there too. To go against one of the best teams in the world. And they're one of the best teams in the MLS because of him. Because of what he's contributed for that team. 38 years old today. And the last birthday I saw was supermodel Petra Nemkova.

She's 46 years old. Why does that not ring a bell? So she is the one, you remember the Thailand tsunami? Yes. She hung on to a tree. She held on to a palm tree for eight hours until she was rescued. She had a broken pelvis while that was all happening. Her boyfriend died. Yeah, exactly. His name was Simone and he passed away and she held on to the tree for eight hours with a broken pelvis, serious internal injuries until she was rescued.

Pretty wild story. So she's 46 years old today. This occurred to me, Casey, going back to McFleetwood. Do we have Tusk in the system? I don't think so. Ah, crap. Because that starts with nothing but drums. Oh, no, no, we do, we do. Yeah, that was USC's, the Chargers played the marching band. Of course, it starts with this freaking thing. Come on! Sorry. That's my fault. There you go. There you go.

But that's not, well, I guess it would be Mick playing that part. I'm Mick Flippard and this is me drumming. All right, let's see if someone knows the answer to the stupid question this morning. What is John Wick's real name? We are going to go to Nancy to see if she knows the answer. Nancy, good morning to you. Good morning. All right, Nancy, what is John Wick's real name, please? Giordani Jovanovic? That is correct. From Belarus. Hang on just a second. Sweep the lake, Giordani.

We are going to set you up with your prize and we have a $50 Keystone Fireworks gift card. Keystone Fireworks Superstore are loaded with mortars, rockets, firecrackers, and all the biggest and best backyard pyro. You can see their newest superstore at the Franklin Mills Mall or you can visit them online at keystonefireworks.com. All right, we're going to start with this story I saw yesterday. Actor Anna Camp says,

is speaking out against critics of her new relationship with stylist Jade Whipkey, who is 18 years younger than her. Oh. Yeah. So Camp and Whipkey, she's 42, he's 24, were walking the red carpet at Los Angeles premiere of Camp's new movie, Bride Hard, on Instagram last week. They shared this. And after...

Users shared less than positive takes on the age gap between the two women. I'm sorry, I meant to say she. That's Whipkey is female. And Camp issued a concise, albeit strongly worded response in the comments. She said, thought I would jump in here.

And hang on a second here. Okay. I thought I'd jump in here and say that I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is far more mature than any of them. We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything. A lot of pokey, man.

Pokey Man. Pokey Man. I'm a big fan of Pokey Man. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well, especially this Pride Month. Camp split from her Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin in 2019 after about three years of marriage. 18 is a decent spread, but hey, if you're happy, you're happy. She was also previously married to Scrubs actor Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013. I didn't know that.

She's the one of that Pitch Perfect crew that I kind of crush on the most. Oh, really? I think she's super cute. Not Anna Kendrick. Well, okay. Now I take that back. Here we go. Yeah.

Not Haley Steinfeld? I'm taking them all back. I'm taking them back. Pride Hard, which opened in theaters last week, marks an on-screen reunion between Camp and Rebel Wilson from Pitch Perfect as well. It was destroyed by the critics. Oh, really? Oh, my God, yeah. What they did also is they made the poster look like Bridesmaids. Okay. Because people thought it was a continuation of that. Oh, really? But they say what it really is is basically a wedding.

And one of the bridesmaids is a Rebel Wilson is a former agent or active agent. Okay. And the terrorists come in to take over the wedding because there's something stored in the safe in the house. And it's actually some serious action with a little bit of comedy. Yeah, and the title is a riff on Die Hard. Die Hard, yeah, yeah. So you would expect some action. But okay, yeah, I...

Didn't know it got beat up. So it's not being screened at Cannes right now? No, no. No Oscar talk for Bright Hard. All right, Brad Pitt is getting candid about hitting rock bottom and finding a way forward. He was on with Dax Shepard.

talking about the whole Angelina Jolie and where he was during the end of that relationship. And this is him talking about AA, helping him get through it. You know, I was in pretty, I was pretty much on my back. Yeah. You know, on my knees. And I was really open to, I was trying anything and everyone, anything anyone threw at me. It was a particular difficult time. Yeah.

I need rebooting. He said he needed to wake the F up. He described his experience with Alcoholics Anonymous as really special and said seeing men sharing their experiences with a lot of humor helped him grow. So he also reveals that Anna Camp was his pick.

Pitch Perfect Crush Preston. No way. So, yeah. Just out of the blue. Did anybody say, hey, what about Anna Kendrick? Yeah, and he said, no. I'm sticking by his guns. Wow. So, he once called it a really free... He felt that it was really freeing to open up. And he also revealed that AA scolded him saying it's anonymous.

So, yeah, I don't know what he did to cross that boundary. Hi, Brad. But listen, it is anonymous. And they have, you know, they have 12 steps and they have 12 traditions as well. And part of the traditions is to sort of keep this stuff anonymous at the level of Press Radio and Films and stuff like that. But, like, I don't know where that gray line is because here I am talking about it. Yeah, yeah. That was my question is if it's been a success for you.

You're technically not supposed to even talk about that? I think at the level that you promulgate it to let people know that it's out there and what's going on, I think that only stands to reason that you'd have to do that. You might not want to provide a list of the attendees at your last meeting. Exactly. Yeah.

Despite the backlash, Pitt said the experience helped him take responsibility and be better. Of course, Angelina filed for divorce back in 2016, later accusing him of abuse. He denies the claims for which no charges were filed. But he said it helped him get his act together. And he's in a better place because of it.

Nick Cannon said he is probably done having children after fathering 12 kids with six different women. Twelve! And it sounds like that could be helpful as he seems in need and needs some help keeping track of his expansive family tree. He was doing an interview and he joked about needing extra time to list all his children's names saying, this is where I usually get in trouble.

I can't explain his desire for a large family comes from his upbringing, adding, I really think I'm a king and kings need big court. And I hate that, man. Honest. I can't stop the I'm a king stuff. Yeah, I've heard that.

How big is Nick Cannon's own family from where he came? Very good question. I'd be curious. Was that 12 kids as well? I do not know the answer to that. Nick, if you wouldn't mind looking that up just to see if we can get some perspective on his background. If he had two brothers, then his thing is not going to hold much weight here to have 12 kids.

I just think he likes banging without condoms. When asked to name his children, Cannon initially forgot two, but eventually recalled all of them. Mikey, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robbie, Johnny, and Brian. He's good.

He's good. He's got a lot of boys. Including his twins with Mariah Carey and his late son, Zen. He shares children with several women, including Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Brie Tessie, Lanish Cole, and Alyssa Scott. He has four younger brothers, Ariel, Ruben, Javen, and Caleb.

A decent-sized family. Yeah. So what do you think, on any given day, is it harder for him to remember the kids' names or the women he had the kids with? Probably the women. Ooh. Yeah. That's a good question. It's competitive competition. There are some people that believe that they need to spread their seed. Yeah. And...

I'm here to tell you, you don't. I can tell you categorically, you do not need to do it that much. Right. There was a documentary, and you've seen these, about where one was a fertility doctor, and he was using his own... Carrying on his legacy, making him immortal. Yeah, it was a very strange concept. Something that happens to a guy.

All right, here's a weird one for you. Martin Cove, most well-known as Sensei John Kreese in Karate Kid and Cobra Kai, was asked to leave a fan convention over the weekend after allegedly biting series co-star Alicia Hannah Kim during a VIP meet-and-greet.

The alleged incident occurred Sunday at SummerCon in Puyallup, Washington. And according to the police report, Hannah Kim told officers that after tapping Cove on the shoulder to say hello, he suddenly grabbed her arm and bit her so hard he nearly drew blood. It was like bruising and stuff.

When she cried out in pain, Cove allegedly started kissing her arm where he had bitten her. Hannah Kim then told her husband and the pair went to confront Cove about the incident, a move that Cove did not take well. And according to the report, he allegedly erupted in anger at the couple. Cove told police that they play fight all the time and that he was just trying to be funny.

Hannah Kim reportedly told the officer that she would not file charges, but she wished to have a report filed in case this continues. No comment from Cove's reps. Did he bite any of us when he was here at the time? I don't remember him biting me. I don't remember. I know he hit on one of our interns. That he did do. Yeah, he may have been playing around, but he apparently took it a little too far and

And bit too damn hard. I'd stay away from biting when I'm playing with people. Yeah, exactly. I had two friends who went through a biting phase in our mid to early 20s. And man, was it annoying. And they thought it was hilarious. And it was just nonstop. And it was every party. And every time we'd go out, I'm going to bite you. Isn't this fun? Funny? No, it freaking hurts. Knock it off. It's not funny. So give me an example. Like they would bite you on the...

Shoulder, arm? You and I would be sitting at a bar, Preston, and be having a drink. And all of a sudden, I'd look down, and one of them would be chomping on my forearm. Or shoulder. Yeah. I mean, I guess meaty sections of my body where they felt like that would be a funny thing to do it. Dude. Yeah. It was obnoxious. Would you smack them? No. I mean, I would. It was two women. Oh, women. Okay. But, I mean, I wanted to hit both of them. If they did it today, probably. What?

Biting can hurt. It hurts. It's absolutely unacceptable. It absolutely hurt. Yeah. And they thought it was hilarious. We tell children not to do it. Right. All right. A couple other things outside of the biting realm. Congratulations to young Sheldon star Montana Jordan and Jenna Weeks who tied the knot over the weekend.

The couple wed in a classic cowboy-themed wedding on Saturday, surrounded by about 200 guests, including several of Jordan's co-stars from Georgie and Mandy's first marriage and Young Sheldon. Like, are they actual cowboys? I don't know. I'm wondering if they're going to regret this in 20 years. If there's anyone here who knows why these two fillies shouldn't get hitched,

I'm wondering if, you know, they're going through this phase and they thought it would be funny. What were we doing? We look like idiots.

They share a daughter, Emma Rae, and have been together... You beat me! For four years. See, I thought if you could have a... Give me a cowboy bite! If you got married around Halloween, you could have a masquerade wedding. That could be fun, but to do something like that... I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I could see going all in on a Halloween wedding, but the cowboy wedding, if you're not even remotely attached to cowboy living...

Seems kind of weird. I see them 20 years, 25 years from now. Somebody's in their house going, oh, what's this a picture of? Oh, we... What is this? We thought it would be a good idea to do a cowboy wedding, you know. Is this from Silverado? No, that's our wedding picture. It's not awful from the one shot that I can see. He's just got a cowboy hat on. It's a white hat and he's got a tux and she has like what looks like to be a traditional wedding dress. It doesn't even look like the hat fits him though. No, you're right. It's like he's wearing his dad's hat. It's a 20-gallon...

A 20-gallon hat on a 5-gallon head. Yep, that's kind of what it looks like. Wow. Moving on. It looks like lids will press. Amanda Bynes may be largely out of the public eye these days, but she's certainly aware that photographers are interested in taking pictures of her.

And she wants to be ready. In Instagram stories on Sunday, she said, I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 pounds now. So I hope to get down to 130, which would be awesome. She admitted that she is trying the weight loss drug. Per her comment, she said, so I look better in paparazzi pictures and you don't see my double chin from strange angles. And

and promised to share more updates on her Ozempic journey. So I don't know how she's doing mentally these days. Who knows? You hope the best for her. When she was in her heyday...

Prior to whatever happened, what had happened, happened, she was poised for superstardom. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, she was not, she was segueing from a great just comedic actress to a leading role, a leading role performer. Yeah. And she was very cute and, you know, just a likable person. But she had a, you know, a mental breakdown and has issues to this day. So hopefully she's getting the right kind of treatment.

Alright, so we got some audio to play with this. Kristen Chenoweth, highly regarded as an actor and a singer with decades of Broadway experience under her belt. So it's interesting to see so many internet critics coming after her for her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner Sunday night.

Prior to the Pacers-Thunder NBA Final Game 7, she seemed to deliver a solid anthem, which can't please all the people all the time, and comments rained down on social media about how bad it was. There were people that defended her. Did you watch it? I did. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I think there's a difference between... She's singing in an operatic style. Yeah, well, first of all, she sang a cappella. Yeah. And then...

She used that Broadway style with the really strong vibrato. And she did change the rhythm of the song a little bit, which, so what? You know, she sang the right melodies and she sang the proper words and everything. But she just changed the pattern of it a little bit. So here's, I guess, is this the end of it? It's a piece of it, yeah. That's cool. And she held that note.

I mean, people love that part of the song. But I thought she was beat up for no reason. Play it one more time. Okay. Hang on a second here. For the land of the free. She exploded. She blew it up.

Yeah, so I think it was just an approach. Remember years ago, Jose Feliciano got into trouble for doing a different riff on it. There's a guy who sings the National Anthem here in Philadelphia. I believe he does... Enrique Palazzo? No, no, no. Mostly he does Sixers games. I think he does Eagles games. But it bugs me because he messes up the words every single time. And I'm like, those aren't the words to this thing. And now it's his...

of variety, but I'm like, that's not the words. Why are you singing flapjacks? Yeah. It's not in it. Do you recall what the words are? Yeah, if you can, just do me a favor, Sam, somebody pull up the lyrics for Star Spangled Banner because it's at the end because he says, like basically when she sang... Or the land of the free.

He sings the Lamb of the Free? No. I think he says something like, In the land and of the free. Or something like that. I'm like, those aren't the words. In the land and of the free. I would be upset if I heard it mangled that way.

Or the land, oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave? Or the land of the free and the home of the brave? So how does he screw it up? Can you remember? You'd have to hear it. I'd have to hear it. And we don't have the lyrics up right now. Is it in every Sixers game? No, but not every Sixers game. All right, here we go. It's at the top, Casey. By the way, the star-spangled banner is a lot longer than just what we sing. At least the poem is. All right. Oh, the land of...

I can't remember. I'm so sorry. But I'm telling you every single time, I'm like, those aren't the words, guy. Okay. Here comes a guy. Maybe he's pulling in some of California Girls by Katy Perry. That might be it. I am surprised that no one has ever called him on it. Yes. If anybody knows who and what I'm talking about...

Call in right now. From local broadcaster Casey Foster today, who actually asked his audience to tell him what he's talking about. I think he says, oh, I think he says, oh, the land. I don't know. That's not good. No, that's bad. Is he in a wheelchair? He might be in a wheelchair. Oh, I see. Yeah, I know. Ableist. Now I'm the a-hole.

Wait, why did you ask about the wheelchair? Because Sapio texted in and said, is it the guy in the wheelchair? Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Well, anyhow, we will someday unravel that mystery. I'm going to move on and talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar for a moment. Love her. She is for sure. Yeah, she's great. Listeners were teary-eyed listening to this beloved broadcaster and meant he did not know what he was talking about.

She is returning to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe as recurring guest star. She's also an executive producer for a Hulu reboot, and she seems to have a little bit of a say in how the story develops. One idea is bringing back all the characters that died. She shared with Vanity Fair that the reboot will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original and will aim to balance new and old characters. And she shared her dream is to bring back everyone who has died, hinting that fan favorite characters like Angel, Spike, Jenny, uh,

Calendar, Tara, and Cordelia could potentially return. I love that show for its entire run. It did get darker at the end. I mean, there was like, you know, the end of the world sort of stuff going on. But yeah, and if she's producing, it's anywhere near good. I'll be on board. She does note, however, that the space will have to be made for new stories as well. And she emphasizes the show's updated themes focusing on what it means to feel like an outsider in a world dominated by social media.

Ryan Kira Armstrong will lead the new series as the new Slayer, and the other casting has not been announced yet. They're also moving into Love Island, Preston. Oh, they are? Yeah. Well, that'll change things up. All right, Nick, did you find out Ron Brooks? That's his name. He's been doing a whole bunch of national anthems at the Sixers over the years, and I don't know exactly what Casey's talking about, but that's the guy that Casey's talking about. Okay. He has an extra syllable that, to me, every time I hear him, I'm like, I don't think those are the words to the...

But it is that time. So there is video of him singing National Anthem on YouTube, so Marissa can find that. Vocally, does he do a good job? Oh, he's a great singer. He's a great singer. You just don't like, there seems to be a little bit of, it's like Aerosmith, Slola in Come Together, right?

Something along those lines. So he's riffing a word and bending it a little bit too much. I got you. But he's a very powerful vocalist. And you don't like him because he's in a wheelchair is what you said. No, no, no. That's why I do like him. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, he appears to be a double amputee. No legs. So there you go. Yeah. So there you go. We found out why he's there. There you go. That's it. All right. Anyhow, more on this. Enough of this.

Nick, why did you even bring it up? Come on, man. Mark Maron's new comedy special, Mark Maron Panicked, is set to premiere on HBO on August 1st at 8 p.m. The special will also be available to stream on HBO Max. He said, I feel that this is the best work I've done. Everything came together, the direction, the production, design, the shirt, and the bits.

HBO gets me and I'm thrilled to be presented by them. This is his sixth stand-up special following specials like Too Real and From Bleak to Dark. I've watched all the episodes for the show Stick now. Oh, yeah? And I really, really like him a lot.

He's very good. In that role. And it's... So now I'm in. The fourth episode did it for me. Oh, did it? That's the one that did it for me. Absolutely. So I've seen the first three. I have to watch the fourth. And I like it. I think you'll... I think this fourth one, you'll go, oh, okay. It's a...

And I hate to use this as the marker, but you get the Ted Lasso vibe by the time you get to the fourth. I know. I know your reticence. You understand everybody has a story, and that's the important thing. Shows that get that everyone, that there are grays in life, and that there are, everyone has a story, as with your friends and neighbors. Yeah. With the Jon Hamm series, which I encourage you to watch. I watched the first episode of that. What'd you think?

It's good. It's got to develop some more for me. But I like him a lot. He's such a great character. I'll get back to you on that. One last thing. Johnny Knoxville.

is set to host a reboot of Fear Factor for Fox. The show promises to get a bunch of strangers together in an unforgiving remote location and then put them through mind-blowing stunts and harrowing challenges, according to the network. The promise has been about 2,000 shows like Fear Factor since Fear Factor. But the other day, my youngest was watching an old Fear Factor episode. Yeah.

And they were doing some stuff. I've forgotten how off the rails that show went. So there was...

People had to jump into a giant vat of leeches and then come out, and they were all over their bodies. And then the other person had to come over and pull the leeches off with their mouth and drop them in a container that they had to walk over to. I'm like, okay, I forgot to the extremes that that show went to. It's been a long time since I've seen it.

The shows I'm thinking of are the ones that they had recently, like where they're training them a la the Navy SEALs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're right. In the realm of eating like elephant balls, Fear Factor was kind of cornering the market. We have an old promo from Fear Factor, early, early days of Fear Factor if you want to hear it.

Next time on Fear Factor, host Joe Rogan really pushes the contestants to their limits. Okay, guys, the good news is you've already aced your first two challenges. You all ate part of that dead body in the morgue, which was slamming, and then you all stepped up to the plate and you tongued that horse's ass. But now comes the time to see who can walk the walk and who can talk the talk. Fear Factor.

Okay, dude, here's all you got to do, bro. You got to get in the pool full of monkey semen. You got to let the dog crap in your mouth, and then you got to crush these pissed off sewer rats into your balls until they bite. Bro, easy money. Wow, that seems staggeringly cruel and inhumane. Dude, dude, it's for 50 cheese, dude. Bro, dude, blood, bro, homie, home slice, bro, dude.

Thank you. So we'll see where they go.

I forgot, yeah. But obviously, that was a parody point, was that they eat a lot of stuff. Yeah. Casting is currently open for the show as well. Fear Factor first ran from 2001 to 2006, hosted by Joe Rogan. And then it later ran for two seasons on MTV, which I forgot about. It was hosted by Ludacris in that version of it. All right, we got some clips to play.

This season of Blowdeck follows the crew island hopping through the Caribbean with an unexpected visit from law enforcement. Here, Captain Kerry teases why the police were called. I've never called the police to help me out. I have asked police to not come because of their visit. You know, I've been in Saint-Tropez in France and there's a rock party upstairs in the morning. The French don't like that. I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to bring reproach on the vessel, but my

main job is the safety of my passengers the crew on the vessel and this this guest was acting unsafe you sound insane uh new episodes of blow deck was streaming on uh bravo here's i have uh and it's a good show you like it uh yeah but uh the it's typical the cuts are too quick the edits are too quick for me i wish they would actually spend a little bit of time but uh

It's I mean, all you do is sit there and go, God, I'd love to be on that boat. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Next clip. The show Duff takes the cake proves Duff Goldman's theory. Cake decorators are weird, but in a great way. And here the ace of cakes explains. I tell people to stay weird all the time, especially like kids like I do cameo. It took me so long because I was like, this is like the douchiest thing. Like they pay you money and then you like send them a video. Like I just do that anyways. So I don't charge a lot of money.

And a lot of the ones that I get are, like, from parents. And they're like, hey, you know, like, my kid really likes your show. And, like, they're pretty creative. And sometimes, like, they get made fun of at school. And, like, I will talk for, like, 15, 20 minutes. Listen, kid, stay as weird as you can. I don't give a f***.

New episodes of Duff Takes the Cake air on the Food Network. So I watched back-to-back episodes of a show last night, Preston. It was called something like the Super Mega Cake Bake Off. Okay. And clearly it was a tie-in with James Gunn's Superman movie. Oh. But they used this show that preexisted, and so they were building like flying Superman cakes. So they build these things like the kaiju. But when you see these things, and they're making the cake, so to speak...

They build these huge structures, and then you go around, and Superman's taint is actually the cake, you know, where they cut a little piece out of. And the rest is like fondant. It's like...

I get it. I appreciate the artwork. But for me, if the entire thing was cake instead of pieces of lumber and a car or whatever... It'd be more impressive. More impressive, you know? So that's my little pet peeve with that show. All good, my man. All right, well, that is the Entertainment Report for now. And here's what I would like to do. I would like to invite you to join us at Hershey Park on Thursday, day after tomorrow, for our live broadcast. So...

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Marissa. Before we dive into our topic of conversation, do we need some resolution on this national anthem thing that's driving Casey crazy? It's not really driving me crazy, but we did listen to this off-air, and you heard something different than I continue to hear. So we don't have to have this debate on and on and on. I just hear him saying... We can't leave this string untied. The words I hear him singing are, he says...

Okay. Let me reset for the audience. Those are just joining us. We were talking about the Christian Chenoweth saying national anthem at the NBA finals over the weekend. And it was kind of criticized a little bit. And we didn't think it was all that bad, but nonetheless. And then Casey said, well, you know what?

kind of drives me crazy is there's a local uh singer at the sixers game uh by the way his name is uh ron brooks he's a an amputee uh he's uh got a great voice great powerful voice powerful yeah but there's a uh there's a moment in the song that casey hears that he kind of uh because kristin had changed the the pacing a little bit or the uh the the rhythm of the the national anthem some people didn't like that and there's this one little thing at the very end of the anthem that this guy sings at casey says is

He doesn't get it. They're not the words. And the words are... There's no words on it. There's no words on it. The words are that are written down... Or the land of the free...

He says, what I hear him saying is, or the land and of the free. I can't read it. There's no words on it. And you're saying, no, he just hits a hard D. I don't know. It sounded in the first clip, it sounded like, or the land of the free. So anyway, let's play it. All I don't know.

For the land and of the free is what you're thinking. That's what I'm hearing. One more time. All right. Here we go. For the land and of the free. It is. I hear something. It could be Preston's point. If this is your point, Preston, the land. Yeah. I'm thinking the land of the free. Yeah. For the land and of the free.

He's got a hell of a voice on him. He's got an amazing voice. And that's why I feel bad even mentioning this. Do you do boo when he sings like that? No, no. Stink. Stand up. Stink. Say whatever words you want. You're a hero is what I say. Yes. He's got a powerful, rich voice. Yeah, you are a hero. Yes. Say whatever you want. There you go. Yes. All right.

Well, anyway, we've dissected that. I don't know if we've come to an official conclusion or not, but I think we can put that to bed for now. Why do those people get all the best parking spots?

It's a weird thing. I got it. I think it's an amazing voice that he has. But it caught your ear. You wondered what he was saying. It's not a criticism on... Well, and I've seen him so many times. I've been to many, many Sixers games, and he's kind of a regular there. So it seems intentional. Would you let him have it? I would not. I would let him have... No, I mean let him have the ability to continue as is. Maybe we'll talk to him sometime. Clear all this up. Yeah.

A lot of people are texting in saying they hear it as well, Casey. I don't know. All I do know is that it is insanely hot. It's going up to 101 degrees today. That's what they're calling for. And we have this heat dome that's over part of the country right now. And not just Philly, but obviously cities up and down the East Coast and the Midwest are just getting nailed with some serious heat. You look at the coverage of the area being affected. It's staggering. And so they're also saying, Preston, in addition...

to the fact that we're having some record-breaking days during this heat wave. We also have record-breaking nighttime temperatures. Yeah. Like, the hottest it's been at night. We usually get a bit of relief, but I think last night it was 84, 85 degrees. Okay, I believe it.

Obviously, we're super lucky to be able to work where we work and be indoors. And, you know, at this time of year when these types of things happen, I go from home indoors with air conditioning on to into the car with air conditioning on to work with air conditioning on. So I freely admit that I'm spoiled. However, I do go through the same routine every time a heat wave like this happens. And that routine is I check the weather app all the time.

all the time and I start mentally counting down the hours until it's breaking. And I read a headline yesterday that said something to the effect of, it might not last as long as we had originally forecasted for it to last until midday Thursday or whatever. So I'm like, okay, how many hours left until it gets back below 90? It just becomes this mental exercise for me. Is it something you are, would you say you're

Fearful of? Or does it cause undue mental stress? Obsessed with. And Steve, I think you and I share this, and probably most people do, but it really saps my energy. It does. Even when I'm sitting in air conditioning or whatever, I have very little energy to do much of anything. So last night I'm there, and my pants are down. Oh.

That's weird. Forget it. I'm like, I had my hand ready to go, but I'm like, I can't. I'm too tired. I think my body has turned a corner because now I think I'm better...

in this heat than I was in years past. I mowed the lawn yesterday. I had no problems. I mean, I sweated my ass off and I made the mistake of wearing a gray t-shirt so you can see all the sweat. But never once did I feel like, oh my God, this is like too stifling. I can't do this anymore. Now, I used to be better in the cold and now I'm kind of a little... Well, you would imagine you would have more insulation with more...

fat on you, more body weight that way perhaps. Yeah, maybe. But I'd say this, you're processing things a little better, you're in better shape, but still... That's probably part of it. It's a standard, yeah. But I would say that this...

I'm very, if I'm outside, I think we all believe the same way. If I'm outside and I'm doing something and it's super hot and I'm going to sweat, I got it. It's no problem. When I'm inside, I've got to have a fan. I've got to have AC. I want to be comfortable in my house. No, that's a good point. That's it. Yeah, I did a project that I've been trying to get to. I didn't do it yesterday. I did it on Saturday.

And it was hot, but it wasn't ridiculous on Saturday. And so I was cleaning out the shed and working on some things. And so I had a big sweaty project. And as long as, like you were saying, as long as I'm, if I have a task, I'm on it, it's not as bad. But you're right. If you go inside and sit down somewhere and it's hot.

then forget it. My heart aches for people who have confined, especially people who were just getting their power back. The news was covering places that there was a retirement home or assisted living facility that didn't have their power until yesterday. Oh, yeah.

I mean, could you imagine that? No, no. RAC went out last night. Oh, did it? I'd call Horizon. They're coming today. But yeah, it eventually came back on, but it was off for a while in the upstairs. You know, I started feeling that oppressive inside heat and I'm like, get out of here, man. It's like a, it's like a, so you had the heat and this is what I think was what distinguished yesterday and will distinguish today.

You have the high temperatures, but then there is this blanket of humidity that is sitting on top of that. So, I mean, I was doing work, Preston. Here's the difference. You know, I start doing something and sweat is literally pouring off my bald head quickly. And it usually takes a little while, right? It's usually better if...

you're in a situation where it's okay for you to sweat, right? Like if you're doing yard work or whatever and the sweat is to be expected. It's when you don't want to be sweating. When you're sitting there when you're eating tater tots and you're just showering yourself in sweat. I mean, obviously we get to work pretty early in the morning and when we walk outside in the morning and you start like walking outside, it felt like a punch to the face this morning. It was so freaking hot at whatever hour that was. And I was just like, man, this is

This is one of those ones you're just going to feel it for a couple of days. Yeah, I actually, at 4 o'clock this morning driving, I rolled the windows down. It was kind of comfortable. It's normally too chilly to do that. And it was kind of nice, actually. I think both you and I do the same thing when we get to work here. We get out of our cars. We're usually wearing some sort of very fashionable beret. And we throw it up in the air and just spin around. Hang on a second. This sounds interesting. I'm going to go to Lindsay who's joining us. Hi, Lindsay. You're on the air. Good morning.

Good morning to see you guys. Good morning, Lindsay. What's going on? So I am a crafter. My main craft is crocheting. And there's this pretty common project that you do. It's a temperature blanket project.

um you could do it however you want but it's basically you take um every day and you crochet a temperature i'm doing the high temperatures of every day for 365 days of the year and it's like a different color matches with like it's like a gauge and stuff like that so i'm trying to figure out if i need to add 100 because i stopped at 90 in january because i like i do it by 10 so i do 80 like you know

90 to 99. Yeah, a color represented by those high temperatures. Okay, and so you go through, so you have 10 of them. Well, I don't know how many, but... Yeah, I do it by tens.

Okay. I'm trying to figure out if I should do a hunt, how to, how to represent a hunt. I will tell you this. There were, there were besides the real feel or however you calculate the temperature, that is what we're experiencing. There were absolute base one hundreds being reported around the area yesterday. So you're looking for, I mean, is there like a, what a fire engine red do that?

I already have Fire Engine Red for the 90s. I'm thinking black, actually, Lindsay. I was thinking that exact same thing because I'm like, people are... I mean, and it's going to be a very random black. And I mean, between May and...

with all of like the low temperatures and high temperatures, it is such a fluctuation. But it's, yeah, it's going to end up being a huge blanket, by the way, giant, because it's 300, it's 365 different rows. Right. Of like, so, but yeah, it's, this is, this is, this, this, the temperature changes and everything like that. I track them. I have a little notebook because I'm not good in doing it every day, but I catch up. So.

Send a picture. Send a picture of what you have so far. I'll send a picture. I want to see this thing. We had it all together in December, if I remember. Right. But it's huge. It's like I put like the first three months out of it because I'm going to do it by like quarters. And it's like halfway down my like upstairs list.

hallway. I can't even comprehend. Send a picture and give us something for perspective. All right, Lindsay. Thank you. Send it over. All right. Take care. That's an interesting idea. Wow. So when you lost, what time did you lose AC?

Oh, it wasn't until... It was after 6 o'clock. But it was at like 85 degrees upstairs. In a normal house, the heat rises. The upper floors are going to be nightmarish. Yep, and we were all like, okay, sleeping in the basement tonight. We're trying to figure that out, but it ended up kicking on at some point. So we're going to have...

Here's a little plug for Horizon. We're going to have them come over and check the system anyway. They're the best. Because I don't want that to conk out all day. You don't want to cook. Oh, yeah. You definitely don't want that conking out, man. No conk-con. No conk-con. No conk-con. Not happening. We have a conk-con alert. So here's something that we haven't done in a number of years is we haven't hit 100 degrees in a number of years is who has got the most pathetically...

And I don't mean sexy. Yeah. Temperature wise. I'm an only fans model. Hot job. And what you have to deal with on days like today. 610-660-9333 is the number. So one I had years ago, I think we've talked about a case. And everybody, when I was working near a fry later at the Dunkin Donuts.

I mean, this big bubbling cauldron of oil, lard, that they would melt. And I mean, I would look at the temperature gauge in the room above that. It was like 121, 122. I mean, it was oppressively hot. There were times this would not stand up to any code, Preston. But I would simply...

I'd be cleaning in the back room where no one could see me in just gym shorts. No shirt, no nothing. Around food. Yeah. I apologize. But it was unbelievably hot. Listen, and...

basically talking more so hot with no chance of relief meaning i was a lifeguard that is a hot job right you can jump in the water i can jump in the water in between stands at what you know like if you you know here like three lifeguards you know you would usually do 15 minutes on each stand and then when i was done on one stand hop in the pool swim to the next stand and you have that relief yesterday preston coming home from the shore and we're going over the commoner very bridge it's under construction right now i'm looking at these dudes in like jeans and

And long sleeve shirts. And I understand the long sleeve shirts are there to protect for, you know, like UV protection or whatever. But that just had to be torture. We've had people tell us, though. We've had people that do this and do road work during oppressively hot scenarios. And obviously, this is going to be very unique. We're going to be experiencing for the next couple of days who say it's better to dress that way. Mm-hmm.

for heat mitigation. I don't get it. I don't understand why that's the case, but they'll swear up and down that that makes them cooler. Yeah, I don't know. And there's a couple of different kinds of heats too. There's that out exposed completely with nothing around, the sun beating down on your heat. But then there's the inside of confined space heat as well. So I told you I was doing the project and cleaning out my shed and

And it's a small enclosed area. And inside of that thing was just stifling. It's an oven. So we did the Manion Street Festival on Sunday. My wife and I were walking along. You're walking down the main part of the street. And when you stepped into these little, like, tents they had them set up because they don't know how the weather's going to be. It'd be like...

You know, it's that confined, no flow of air, no anything. That's the scenario you're talking about where like you literally have to get serious about whether you're going to pass out or not. Here's a text come in says welding shop. It was 112 degrees yesterday. It feels like 200 when you're wearing long sleeves and long pants all day long. If you're welding, you have to wear protective gear. Exactly it. I'm going to go to...

Scott and check in with him. So let's do that. Hey, Scott, good morning. Scott! Good morning. Long time listener, first time caller. Welcome, sir. Alright, so what is it you were doing work-wise? I'm a maintenance technician at a 55 and older apartment complex. It's part hospitalization, part assisted living and then independent living. But, um,

The crazy thing is when I go to work, it's like we have air, but when you walk through the building, it's set to 75 degrees like all the time. But then the crazy thing is we'll get calls where people's air conditioning, like yesterday I got a call where a lady told me to come up because she was freezing. So when I get up there to look at her thermostat, the thermostat's already reading 75 degrees.

And she wanted it bumped up to... She said she likes it around 80. Oh, wow. Okay. So imagine walking into some of these places and it is just like their thermostats by themselves are reading 80. Yeah, so the grandma, grandpa thing of having the thermos being chilly at 80 or 85, I guess that's a common thing. It is. So I'm...

My comfortable temperature when I sleep is 70, 68 to 70. And moving air. Moving air. And then in the house, in the living room, if it's like 74, 75 with some air moving, I'm fine. But I don't have a lot of latitude either way. I don't think I'd be comfortable sitting in an 82-degree room.

No, inside, no. Inside, no. I agree. I agree with you. Yeah, no. And then also walking, considering what you're walking about 10 to 12 miles a day at this place, going back and forth between apartments. And on top of that, was it already being like, granted, I am inside and I appreciate that fact, but...

you know, just moving around to these apartments that are still just between 35 and 80. Scott, is the one benefit that you can pill for all their medication? Did you say pharmacists? Thanks, Scott. Appreciate it, man. All right, let's, we got a few other calls here. I'm going to go to, hang on a second here, because we got some people that work in really hot environments. I will go to Joe next. Yo, Joe, good morning.

Good morning. How are you? Great, man. What's going on, bud?

Good. I work in HVAC. I'm an installer, which means we stay there. You know, we show up early in the morning and we stay until the job gets done. And yeah, I've seen addicts. Sometimes I get in an attic that I'm in there for eight hours. It's 140 degrees. So let me ask you. All right. So I would assume that some some things like that shift earlier, like in a perfect scenario, you'd want to arrive well before sunrise. Right. If you're working in a place like that, is that what you do?

Yeah, sometimes when the homeowner allows it. I mean, I've heard some people showing up five, six o'clock, but I mean, not everybody wants you in their house at five, six o'clock in the morning. Right. And so you're in there and you're in an enclosed area. You're installing the HVAC system. So one doesn't previously exist. Have you ever passed out?

I have not, but I mean, you hear the horror stories of people who have, and, you know, have heat strokes and all, but no, I mean, you do what you can do, and at some point, you know, I've gotten it where, like, you know, if the three of us are in an attic, you know, you take five minutes, I go up for five minutes, you know, they go up for five minutes, and they just keep taking turns. Jeez. Are you guys just chugging water constantly?

Oh, yeah. And then, you know, you go pee one time before you even get to work. That's it. That's it. Because your body's using all of the water. Yeah. Wow. That's one benefit. That's rough. All right. Thanks, Joe. Appreciate it. You know, it occurs to me, Preston, as many times we've done stuff like this in these conversations, I'm not sure I know what the signs of heat stroke are.

Well, when you stop sweating, that's a weird one. Really? Yeah. Okay. I guess maybe you're out of, your body can't produce much more. Yeah. Wow. And that's like, you might not even notice it. You may just be more grateful. Like, oh my God, at least I'm not sweating anymore. Right. You know?

I saw one yesterday, Steve. It was the difference between heat exhaustion versus heat stroke. Heat stroke is the worst of the two. And so with heat exhaustion, you can have you're thirsty, sweating. But yeah, Casey's right. Like you stop. When you're having heat stroke, you stop sweating. You have dizziness, confusion. You can become unconscious.

That's me all the time. Yeah, heavy sweating, nausea, weakness, thirst, and dizziness or heat exhaustion. If it gets worse and you start getting confused or become unconscious, obviously, that's when it's really bad and you should call 911. Sweating is your body's attempt to cool you down. Yeah, exactly. All right, we're going to go to Mike next and check in with him. Hi, Mike. Good morning. Morning. What's up, buddy?

Oh, my goodness. And you're wearing protective clothing and everything, too, right? Oh, yes, sir. You wear a pair of jeans, and then you put a pair of pants on over top of that, and then a long, thick welding jacket over that. Oh, my goodness.

And then a hard hat with a screen and everything else. Are you allowed to carry a decorative parasol? Steve, you showed me that inflatable vest last week. Yeah, Mike. Casey's right. There's a thing I've seen making the rounds, and I don't know if it's something that would be within your industry, but it is actually. So take one of those Halloween costume T-Rex things that have the built-in fans. Yeah.

It's similar to that, but it's made for workers, and it actually has a fan system within it, maybe the way a mascot would have. Have you ever seen that, or does anyone ever use that on your job? We can't use it because it's a magnetic induction furnace, and anything metal will just heat up and melt. Mike, how long have you been doing this work?

I've been doing this for 15 years. 15 years. And when this happens, when this oppressive heat, well, I mean, it's got to already be hot all the time in that type of work. What do you do to cope? Oh, yeah.

You just take it easy. You take it in shifts. We put frozen bottles of water in our pockets, and we're back there maybe 15, 20 minutes at a time. Then we switch out with people, and those frozen bottles of water are room temperature by the time we get done. I have to imagine you could put away four to five devil's food cakes a day and still not gain weight because you are sweating your ass off.

I'm 6'4", and I weigh about 215 pounds, and I probably eat 6,000 calories a day. Yeah, you'd have to just survive. Mike, that's nuts, man. Geez. All right, well, hang in there. Stay safe, man. We appreciate the call, all right?

All right, man. How do you think you would fare? I mean, I would not. Yeah. At all. Listen, I'm as soft as they come, bro. I mean, look at, it's about 73 in this studio. Yeah. I mean, come on. I'm hitting right now, man. Yeah. I'm glowing. I was actually feeling a little chilly earlier, guys. Nick has a sweater on.

Is that a stole? Let me go. Hang on. I have Matt who is joining us. Hi, Matt's a fireman. Matt, good morning, bud. Hey, Nick, you doing all right? I really appreciate you checking in on me, Matt. It's been a rough morning thus far. That's a trained fireman. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, you're a good man. Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, so last night there was a fire in South Philadelphia in a 25-story high-rise, and it was mostly people that were in wheelchairs and had walkers and everything. Power shut off to the building, so we had to use these things called stair chairs to bring the people down from the 25th floor and down all the way to the first floor. Over 200 people.

Wow. That has to be a little slice of hell. You mentioned the stair chair. I've seen this thing now. It seems like a, is this a recent invention where it actually is motorized almost like a hand truck that goes laterally and can actually ride up any set of stairs?

No, that's so these are basically like a fold up wheelchair. It has tracks on the back. It's not motorized at all. I see. So so when you when you're doing that, you're running against the clock. You have people. I mean, you know, I mean, that are in danger of dying. Right. If they're if they're elderly.

Yeah, the fire was out. There was no fire. Oh, good. No power, so there's no air. And a lot of them have medical conditions because they are older. They're on medication and everything. So it was... Yeah. The department's great. We handle it great. Just, it was...

terrible while doing it. I can imagine, Matt, and you talk about 200 people, how many fire companies were there helping out to do this? Because that's a big job.

Yeah, I don't know the exact amount, but it was quite a bit. I'm in the Kensington area, so we got called down. It's right off of Christopher Columbus Boulevard was where the call was. Is this still the case that I remember that movie Towering Inferno years ago that really all things considered, it's very difficult to fight a fire in a building over four or five stories, correct? Or has it gotten better? Four or five stories is about the max? Yeah.

Uh, yeah. I mean, once you, once you get above that, then you have to worry about standpipes. And if the standpipes work, you got to hook up to the, uh, the connection, the fire department connections outside to supplement the sprinklers and the standpipe systems. And, uh, sometimes they don't work, uh, but it's, uh, it's gotten better.

Well, you're doing good work. You're saving lives. And thanks. Thank you for what you do. But, man, that has got to be torturous. Thanks, Mike. Appreciate it, man. Hang on. I've got a couple people who have been on hold for a little while. Let me go to Kyle, who's been hanging in there. Kyle, good morning, man. Good morning to see you guys. Good morning, Bob. What do you do?

I drive a tow truck. Ah, okay. And so you're out, you know, in the heat, of course, when you're on the side of the road and you're all exposed and everything. Does it get pretty gnarly? It does. Yesterday was pretty rough, and I wear glasses like you do, so that my glasses were sliding off my face constantly, getting sweat in my eyes. Yep.

I actually... My glasses fogged up yesterday. I went outside and threw my sunglasses on. When you come out of the air conditioning into that, yeah, they're going to steam up. Yeah, yeah. So... Mine did the same thing walking out. So what do you do? Obviously, you're... By the way, if you get stuck on the side of a road, let's say 76... Any place where you're kind of walled in a little bit, where...

It is hot as balls. That pavement is just baking. I mean, how do you help fight the heat? What do you do besides go blind from the mist on your glasses? Right. So, I mean, a lot of the times you really just have to suck it up because you have to be wearing long sleeves, long pants to protect yourselves. But a lot of the times, like you said, the asphalt is really hot, especially if the car was just running. People don't think about that. So, you know, it's already...

105, 110 out, you're crawling under a car to reach 130, 140. So you really just want to be as fast and as safe as you can. Let me ask you, we talked a while ago about tow trucks and the war that can exist between tow truck companies. Is that still going on or have things got a little bit? I think so. It doesn't apply to me too much. We do like a lot of auction runs. So like ownerless cars, I don't have to deal with too many people and it's not very territorial where we are.

But it definitely does get like that. Where are you out of? What area?

We're in New Jersey. We're in Forkett River down by the beach. Okay. All right, cool. Thanks, Kyle. Appreciate it. Stay cool, my man. Wow. Yeah, it's going to be even worse today. Nick got this text from somebody who does HVAC repair, and it says, AC repair sucks. You show up because it's hot, and then you leave as soon as it starts cooling off. Well, with a job like... With jobs, we've talked about it. Anybody who's doing anything, roof repair, don't... I assume companies will...

You'd take the day off or at least start incredibly early if you can. I mean, there's no way you can have workers on a roof in this heat. I don't know, man. But if air conditioning repair for the building has to get done that day, they've got to

They don't care. The clients want it. They want it now. And if you're working on the roof of a house, there's no way you're showing up early. You're not hitting nails into the roof with homeowners at home. Yeah. So today, we're having Horizon come by to check our system because it went out, if you missed the beginning of the call. The unit's in the attic. Oh, it is? And it's, man, when they've been there before, it is brutal when they come down after just being up in that 100 and...

$120, or $120, 120 degree air. It's horrible. One last call. I'm going to take a break. I'm going to go to Dave next. Hey, Dave, good morning. Good morning, Justin. What's up, Dave? Happy day, huh? Yeah. Yeah, let me turn off my radio. That'll help. How do I do it? There's a power button on it. Did you get it done, Dave? Did you get it done, Dave? Did you turn the radio off?

I think he actually set the phone down. How do I work this? Oh, there we go. All right, Dave. What's up? I spent a summer when I was 16 years old steaming crabs. And let me tell you, when you're in a steam room, when it's 100 degrees out, it's hot. And it's a wet heat. And it smells all crabby. So was this a resort for crabs? No.

Yes, exactly. We really pampered those things before we cooked them. I'm going to take a quick steam with some other crabs. Covered in Old Bay. That Old Bay would be up my arms, all over my neck. Dude, you were a large chickies french fry. Oh.

Absolutely, yes. Yeah, crab fries. Dude, that is your new nickname from here on out, Dave. What's up, crab fries? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. My feet would be soaking wet.

Dude, that's a nightmare. Yeah.

At 16 years old, I'd work 16 hours the first day, 16 hours the next day, and eight hours the following day. The owner would send me home before I got to overtime after 40, and it would take me the other four days of the week just to recover. Wow. I'll tell you what, you brought up a point, though. I've been in jobs or doing things outside where I was sweating so much that when I took my shoes off, I could wring out my socks. Yeah, that's when you know you've really crossed into really hot territories. When you're so...

Socks get soaked. That's it. All right. Hey, Crab Fry, thanks for the call, man. You got it, Fred. Appreciate it, bro. See you later. Head all over my neck. Old bay all over my neck. I hope he calls in again sometime and he's like, yo, it's Crab Fry. Crab Fry! What's up? Wow, wow. All right. Well, anyhow, you guys, safe.

Stay safe, stay safe, stay hydrated. You know the rules. Oh, by the way, I mean, like this city has a history with that. Do you remember this old heat warning? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Heat warning. Listen to this. This will tell you how we're used to it in Philly. And now, a heat advisory from the office of the mayor of Philadelphia. Holy s**t. It is so goddamn hot out there. Remember to drink plenty of liquids because you can't drink solids, you dumb f**k. Wow. Yikes.

Yeah, there was another one that ran as well. It was this one. And now, a heat advisory from the office of the mayor of Philadelphia. Listen, during a heat wave like this, you can't leave a pet in your car. Not only is it dangerous and illegal, but if I find out you did it...

I'm going to put my foot up your ass and snap it off at the goddamn knee. Yeah, so they don't tolerate that. No. Or didn't back in the day. Rich history. Well, listen, here's what I'd like to do. By the time we get to Thursday, things are going to be cooling off a bit. So we are going to have a break and we're going to be broadcasting live at Hershey Park.

Brought to you this morning by Pro Team Collision. If you find yourself in an accident, trust the pros. Pro Team Collision, your trusted auto body repair shop located in King of Prussia. Go to proteamcollision.com.

I have a little bit of... Sometimes themes present themselves in the Bazaar file. I don't go looking for these types of things. They just kind of come in clusters. So I'm titling this particular theme, Don't Go Out Into The Great Outdoors. Don't Go Out Into The Great Outdoors. Okay, I'm intrigued. Listen to some of the... And I hate to...

put a bunch of doom and gloom ones together. But like I said, sometimes these things just happen. There's scary stuff out there. Rescue operations are underway to save a hiker who has been trapped inside an active volcano in Indonesia for the last three days. At around 6.30 a.m. on Saturday. So it's longer than three days. Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins

fell off a cliff around Samara Nungal en route to the peak of Mount Rinjani. So that's bad enough. The park stated on Facebook that a search and rescue team was conducting an evacuation operation to try and recover Marins. She was successfully monitored using a drone in a position stuck on a rock cliff at a depth of 500 meters and visually motionless.

Two rescue personnel were deployed to reach the victim's location and check the second anchor point at about 350 meters. However, after observation, two large overhangs were found before reaching the victim, making it impossible to install the anchor. The rescue team had to climb to reach the victim. Helicopters...

And the volcano. Jeez.

Rescuers reportedly said they heard Maren screaming for help on Saturday after descending 300 meters later that day. Rescuers no longer were able to locate her and she didn't reply to their calls. I asked to have the cross cut off. Drone footage taken on the morning of Sunday showed that she was no longer the original location. Rescuers were able to locate her again on Monday, but they had to retreat due to climate conditions. So they're still trying to find this woman to get her out of there. But she's still alive. She's still alive. Amazing.

All right. Hiking and outdoor adventure can be dangerous hobbies, and the consequences were fatal for a group of hikers in California. Three men have been found dead after jumping into water at Rattlesnake Falls, an isolated hiking area near Placer County, California. Authorities say they were notified that three members of a six-member party had jumped into the water and that they had not been heard from since doing so.

The sheriff's office called the spot where the men went missing extremely remote and difficult to access. But a search party was still established. High winds and strong water currents disrupted the rescue efforts as the conditions often made it unsafe to fly a helicopter to the scene. And on Sunday, the sheriff's office confirmed that individuals were indeed dead. A diver tasked with locating the bodies described the terrain as challenge unresolved.

As a challenge of navigating the hiking spots as brutal, the waterfall, he said, kept pushing me down, but I wasn't leaving without bringing those three home for their family. This was diver Juan Heredia. He said, Josh Robinson, our backup team diver, and I hiked for over three hours just to reach that 47-foot deep pool. I dove four times close to three minutes each, freezing cold water and deep.

Officials warn that the water in Rattlesnake Falls is extremely cold and that the sudden change in temperature that occurs when one enters, that water can lead to shock.

And that may have been what happened. I watched a military demonstration about the power of a waterfall. It's a simple, small waterfall. Water going over, not deep. And they had this woman, a military, she was a sergeant or something. So she goes over, she's tethered to the other people. And she goes over to demonstrate how difficult it is to rise up out of the tumultuous situation.

waterfall and you get it pushes you down and I don't think people realize that and that's how people die and not only that the cold water if you guys have ever been in a cold spring before you can't breathe it's painful like it is that bad so you do have to be careful alright

Speaking of water, six people were killed when a boat capsized in Lake Tahoe. I told you guys these were good stories. Two others are still missing following the incident on Saturday, which occurred. And this was a deal. Fierce winds battered the lake, kicking up eight-foot-tall waves. Whoa.

Foot tall waves. So the sheriff's office said two survivors had been pulled from water and were being treated in the hospital for hypothermia and other injuries. 27-foot-long Chris Craft boat was caught in a large swell when winds gusted at 35 miles an hour. On Sunday, the sheriff's dive team and search and rescue was continuing to search for victims near the shores. It was reported that 10 people were in the water as air temperatures were swiftly falling and the lake grew unexpectedly rough.

Temperatures dropped to near freezing on Saturday afternoon, bringing rain and snow to the Sierra Mountains surrounding the lake. A video post online shows large waves knocking boats against docks, and according to officials, multiple boats were damaged during that storm. So it was serious and cold. I saw the hull of the capsized vessel, but I didn't realize how many people had died. Yep.

All right, and then one last story under the theme of don't go out into the great outdoors. You shouldn't. This guy didn't die, but an 80-year-old man who went missing in West Virginia was recently found in a deep predicament. State police originally put out a silver alert for Harold Simmons before he was found Wednesday night. Simmons was found submerged in a large creek at the bottom of a 20-foot embankment, and he was trapped with water up to his neck. Wow. Wow.

We got to buy his neck.

Simmons was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. That's miraculous. People getting hurt going out and hiking and whatnot. Listen, I just say this as a word of caution. You have every reason to be afraid of going outside. Just stay inside all the time. Yeah, don't go outside at all. There are things that, no. Yeah, things will happen. Just be smart when you go out. Yeah.

All right, and there you go. That's what I have in the bizarre file for you. Let's do another four-pack of tickets for Hershey. And Thursday, where we will be broadcasting live from, it will be caller number 10.

610-660-9333. Able to join us before the park opens as we broadcast live this Thursday. And temperatures are cooling off a bit, which is going to be great.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. We meant to play this audio last week, but we just got too busy with everything that we were doing. And it was actor David Cornsweat, who is the new Superman, who is from Philly, going on about his favorite things in Philadelphia. It was a question and answer session. GQ, I think. GQ, yeah. And they had him do this or that.

with All Stuff Philly. He's very charismatic. The movie is opening July 8th, so looking very much forward to it, but again, he seems like a

incredibly likable guy and had some interesting takes on they like to do this with the celebrities from now and then and their videos are pretty well done it was People Magazine it wasn't GQ, Marissa just held that up I just love it that there's dudes from this area and they're keying in on this area dude we've got Superman we have Superman, we have the Pope we have pooping on cars there's a lot going on here but listen to this, this is pretty cool here we go

A hoagie just because it's more, you got more. All right, so cheesesteak or hoagie. Right. So if you can't hear what they're saying, I'll try to pipe in with that. Options. I love a cheesesteak, but if I had to, you know, hoagie, you can have a cheesesteak hoagie. So probably hoagie. Hoagie. And he corrects it. He does. Hoagie.

Do we want to break these down or just listen to the whole thing and then go through them? Let's listen to the whole thing and then go through them. Sheets or Wawa? I don't know what Sheets is. Eagles or Phillies? Eagles. Just because I don't unfortunately have time to watch more than one game a week. So I will watch the Eagles when they're playing. Although I also end up, every time I watch, they lose. It's a terrible blight to be the one fan that every time they watch, they lose because it just means that I...

Struggle watching. But Eagles, especially because of their recent success. But I love the Phillies and I love watching them. Abbott Elementary or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Gosh, you couldn't pick two more different shows. Probably It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Rocky or Rocky II? I have never seen Rocky II, so I'll go with Rocky. Gritty or Philly Fanatic? Philly Fanatic. That's just what I grew up with. Jason Kelsey or Allen Iverson? That's a tough one. I mean, I think...

This is really, this is really, how do you choose between, they're both people.

Pass. They're both great. Down the Shore or To the Poconos? Down the Shore. Jeet or John? John. You just can use it so much more. I love it. He's hitting all the right notes. I think so. I think he picked all the good ones. And I liked how, because listen, when they said Iverson or Kelsey, I know who I'm picking, but I didn't really think about, he's like, well, these are people. I'm like, okay, all right. But one of those people brought home a championship to the, you know,

to the organization. So I go Jason Kelsey. And he didn't mention though, he's the Sixers. I mean, obviously between the, but the question was posed

the Phils or Eagles. So that was the only parameter of that question. Yeah, it's got to be this or that. There's only two that they get to choose from. What did you think about the take on cheesesteaks or hoagies because you can't have a cheesesteak hoagie? I had not considered the fact that you have

way more variety to go with if you are talking hoagie than you are talking cheesesteak. Although, but you can, listen, you can do whatever you want to with a cheesesteak. Do whatever the hell you want. And he's Superman, for Christ's sake. I would, I'd probably...

Well, I mean, yeah, but a nice hot cheesesteak? Yeah. Right off the grill? I know, but you can make it a cheesesteak hoagie and you still have that hoagie. Is that what you're... I don't buy the cheesesteak hoagie thing. No? No. What do you mean you don't buy it? You don't buy it as a hoagie or you buy it as a cheesesteak? I think they're two separate things. I think once you've made a cheesesteak hoagie, you've made a cheesesteak.

Yeah. With hoagie elements. Well, you don't have to have the hoagie elements on there if you don't want them, you know? But if you're making a cheesesteak hoagie, a cheesesteak in and of itself is not a hoagie, right? No. No.

I don't know. Just by throwing some lettuce on there? Well, hoagies can be hot. Well, I guess, I mean, yeah. So technically a cheesesteak is, it's meat on a roll with cheese. Yeah, but like when you, all right, so, but if you make a hoagie, a hot hoagie, it's not, it's no longer a hoagie. Because it's hot?

Yeah, like if you heat it. A grinder. That's if you bake it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What would you call a cheesesteak hoagie, Preston, if you had to assign a different name to it? A cheesesteak.

Yeah, I think it's different. So explain to me how ingredient wise. Well, you got lettuce and tomato and. But you don't have to have those things on there. Yeah, you do if you're going to make it a cheesesteak hoagie. Okay, so a cheesesteak becomes a cheesesteak hoagie once you put lettuce and tomato on it. Correct. So at its base, it's a cheesesteak. Yes. Okay. But you're changing that. You're calling it a cheesesteak hoagie because that's what you're ordering. Unless. I don't think hoagie has to do with toppings. That's what I'm asking you.

Yeah, that's what I'm asking you. So you would call it a cheesesteak with lettuce and tomato? Yes. Okay. There you go. And then when you want to be a little bit more...

Flamboyant? No, no, no, not flamboyant. I was just going to say economical with your words. You just say cheesesteak hoagie. Right, cheesesteak hoagie. And then people making that know that it's lettuce, tomatoes, and then they ask you, well, you want onions or no onions? So if we go through the different classifications, there's the grinder, the sub, the hoagie. You have a zip as well, which is basically that's out of the...

Bridgeport area. The Zep became popular. And the Zep is basically just a hoagie, I think. It's a blood without cheese. No, it's without lettuce, I think. I don't remember. I had a Zep once and I was like, okay, this is a sandwich, whatever, man. Call it whatever you want. To me, the notion of introducing lettuce and tomato to a cheesesteak is contrary. Lettuce and tomato to me is a cold, is a hoagie

That's why my mom likes it. She likes a cheesesteak with lettuce and tomato or, if you prefer, a cheesesteak hoagie. And that's how she gets it every time. I didn't see. I'd heretofore not realized that this blending could take place, that you could have a cheesesteak hoagie.

Man, people get upset about silly stuff. Listen, I hate these types of debates. I can't stand them. Because when it comes down to it, it's like, well, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And if you analyze the data, and it's like, man, who cares? Who cares? It doesn't matter. NASA cares. Bogeys and grinders. Thank you. Bogeys and grinders. Bogeys and grinders. Uh.

Um, all right. People call them subs can suck it. Yeah. So New York is where you'll hear sub. Yeah. No, I disagree. I think sub is okay. Yeah. I think hero. Yeah. You don't like hero? Is an outdated, stupid term. Hero is what we always used to call a hero sandwich was, was always, that was hero, you know, growing up and then now hoagie. Yeah. All right. So what was...

what was labeled it first? Was it labeled a hoagie first or was it labeled a sub first? Because we call it a hoagie because it was created on Hog Island Road. I think the sandwiches were probably invented around the same time. They probably called it a subway first. I don't know. That's a good question. So the sub, I think, had to do with the shape of the bun. So in the Last Supper painting, they are preparing hoagies. So what was it referred to? What is the ancient way of...

Describing that sandwich. Jesus. All right. All right, Nick found some information. It's Sub. So Hoagie apparently emerged in Philadelphia in the early mid-20th century, and then Sub didn't become popular until the mid-1960s. So there it is. So it's Hoagie first. Done and done. Hoagie! Yeah. Also, if you have a bulldog and you haven't named him yet, Hoagie is the perfect name for a bulldog. That's all I have to say about this. Why a bulldog? Startling revelation from Casey Foster. Huh.

You may leave.

New name for a dog you might not be considering. There are certain dog breeds that the name has to be perfect. And a Great Dane has to have a great name. And a Bulldog has to have a great name that matches what it looks like. Okay. You don't think? I just want to know how much time in a day you spend... Preston, I name dogs that I don't own yet. You spend thinking about dog names. I've already named my dog that I haven't even gotten yet. All right? What is it? Greg. Greg.

So let me ask you. That's a good name. I like it. Thank you. What kind of dog? It's going to be a Bernie's Mountain Dog. It's got to be a Bernie's Mountain Dog. Yeah, because it wouldn't be a great date. If you were to go into your bedroom, are there names written on pieces of paper on the wall with red string? It's almost like that. It's almost like that. But my daughter and I, we were driving home from Michigan State back in May. We spent an hour of that car ride coming up with dog names.

I hope he crashes. It's fun. Is it fun? It's fun to even talk. Please crash. Please crash. Please crash.

Wow. You don't think Hoagie is a good name for a bulldog? I think he's a great name for a bulldog. I wouldn't sit around and think about it. That's what I do. I know it's what you do, and it cracks me up. My dearest wife, my father has taken his toll on me, and I fear I will not be able to name our dog when we return. I will give the naming job to you, as I have suffered a head wound.

It's funny because with Reggie, I try to be diplomatic about it and democratic about it. And, you know, all right, we're all going to come up with names here and we'll throw them into a hat. And I hated all the names that everybody else came up with. I was like, screw it. I bought the dog. I'm getting I'm naming him. You vetoed. Yeah, I vetoed all. You should have named him Vito. Oh, my God.

Not Veto. Vetoed. Yeah. V-E-T-O. Yes. That's a really good dog name. That is a good name. Yeah. Absolutely. Also for hockey fans. Veto, get over here. Hattrick. That's a good dog or cat name. Patrick? No, Hattrick. If you were a judge, Veto could be one or Gavel. Okay. Well, my cousin is a retired judge.

His dog, and by the way, his dog is about this big, Preston, about the size of like a bread bowl. His name is Justice. Justice. Well, there you go. Of course.

I don't even know where to go with this. Okay. Well, we can play this game. I don't know. All right. Sheets or Wawa? Wawa, right? So, yes, of course. And I'm glad that he was dismissive of Sheets. This is David Cornswift, by the way, the new Superman. And they gave him this or that through People Magazine. Cheesesteaks versus hoagie. He said hoagie because you get more variety.

Sheets or Wawa? He said, I don't even know what Sheets is. Good answer, by the way. Truth be told, Sheets is a fine place, but Wawa rules. Eagles or Phillies? He chose Eagles. Casey, you're Eagles without question. You'd be Phillies, right? Yeah, I'd be Phillies as well. What about you, Steve? I don't know. You know what? Because...

I'm not a big football fan, so it's easy for me. I'll tell you what I do enjoy is spring training, and I do enjoy that exposure. You can probably pick Phil's. That's a wonderful association. For a couple of dollars, I could be swayed. Well, you have to pick one. That's how the game works. Yep. Let's go. I'm going to go Eagles. You're going to go? Okay, there you go. Thank you. All right, Marissa, we got to back up on this. Cheese steak or hoagie? Hoagie. All right, cheese or Wawa? Wawa. Of course. Eagles, Phil's? No.

In-season changes, but probably at the heart, Eagles. Yeah, that's what I figured. All right. Abbott versus Sonny. That's hard. Both great, but it's always Sonny. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Abbott Elementary is a terrific show, but it's always Sonny. I spend a lot of time watching It's Always Sonny during the week, and it's always Sonny outtakes. And we've all been on It's Always Sonny, too. Yeah, we haven't been on Abbott yet. Yeah.

They both change our minds. They want us to change our minds. Perhaps an episode focusing entirely on our show. They could do a coolest teacher episode. They could do a dog naming episode. All about naming a dog. Marissa, would you pick Always Sunny? Sunny, yeah. What about Rocky vs. Rocky 2? Rocky. Yeah, the first. Rocky 2 is a fine movie. They degenerate with each subsequent one. Then you go back up again with Rocky Balboa.

Tremendous. Case? I'm going to go Rocky, too. I figured you would. Because he wins. Yep. And Marissa? Rocky. Okay. Gritty or Fanatic? Wow. It's a tough one. They're both great. They're both great. I'm going to... They're the two best mascots in professional sports. I'm going to say... I'm going OG, Fanatic. And I love Gritty, but Fanatic started it. I agree. Fanatic walked so that Gritty could run. Ah, okay.

But I'm going to go with the fanatic because you don't have Gritty without the fanatic. Yeah. Yeah. It's fanatic. When Gritty first started, it was odd. Until everyone else started hating him, then we loved him. So? Fanatic. Okay. All right. Kelsey Iverson. Man. Kelsey. Yeah. I would go Kelsey. AI was amazing to watch him play, but he always kind of rubbed me the wrong way a little bit. So if pressed, I'd

I'd go with Jason Kelsey. The goodwill, the good impact on Philadelphia, I think of his retirement speech. The first ever championship, Super Bowl championship. Yeah. He was the all-pro center for that team. His star turn making his speech there. Yeah.

I'm going Iverson on this one. Jason Kelsey is everything you guys just described. Allen changed the game. He's a superstar. He was an MVP. The Eagles probably could have won a championship without Jason Kelsey. I don't think the Sixers ever would have been as good without AI. You said changed the game. The game of basketball? The culture surrounding it. The way people dress. The way that people talk. The way that people practice. Practice? Or didn't practice. Exactly. Are we talking about practice? Talking about practice.

And by the way, in retrospect, everything that he says in that speech, he's 100% right about. Everybody crapped all over him when he said that stuff. And looking back on how he addressed it and what he was saying, AI was 100% right. People were giving him a hard time for not practicing hard. He was not. I know. I know.

I know what the argument against what he was saying is. I understand that. This is a debate then. If you're going to say that, I'm going to a thousand percent disagree with you on that. He played so hard in every single game. Blood, sweat, and tears out on the court. People were giving him a hard time for not practicing as hard as they thought that he should practice. He brought it to the game. He played so freaking hard. You guys obviously can disagree with me. My opinion is what my opinion is. I'm going to correct the fact that you said

That he was practicing as hard? I said he wasn't practicing. He wasn't practicing as hard? No. The issue was he wasn't showing up for practice. It's not practicing about how hard you practice. It's actually being there.

Disagreeing with you guys is so difficult because it's just my opinion on the matter. Yeah, I know. But like, why can't we also express our opinions as well? We're not saying you're an a-hole or anything like that. Here's why. The tone that you're bringing is the exact same tone that people brought onto AI when they give them a hard time for not showing up to practice. Well, let me ask you a question because I'm...

mildly agnostic on this. I thought the point was he was not showing up for practice. Yeah. Was that in fact the case, Nick? That was part of the problem. Okay. So do you see an inherent problem in, as a team leader in not showing up for practice? Uh, not the way that he played the game when he was playing the game. Okay. Well then that, that, that's it. That's your opinion. Okay. Uh,

Marissa, Iverson or Kelsey? I'm actually going to go Iverson here. Only because as an athlete, I agree that Iverson changed the game. Iverson's more legendary. Kelsey is a newer legend. His post-career is becoming bigger than his career on the field. And I love them both, but I'm going to go Iverson. Speaking of that, has that ESPN show been renewed that he was doing? The late night show? I don't know. I think...

Maybe when they kind of hinted that it was at the end of last season. That it's only going to kind of run during football season? Is that it? I think so. All right. All right. And then a couple more of these and then we're done with this. Shore versus Poconos.

Anybody want to go? Yeah. Sure. Yeah, sure. Yeah, me too. I think it depends on what mood you're in. If you're in there... I mean, overall, probably sure. But like, there's something really peaceful and also like slightly cooler about the Poconos sometimes. So that to me can be appealing. But I think overall, I'm voting sure. In both ways, cooler. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

The shore. I do love the ocean, but I also love the mountains. I'll give the edge to the shore. All right, Marissa? It's what I grew up with, the shore. Okay. And then last was Jeet and John. John. Yeah, John. I'm going to go Jeet. John isn't one of my favorite words. Okay. It's kind of blah. Okay.

Okay. It is a bit overused at this point, but I don't know. It's kind of the OG as well. I never say Jeet. I rarely say John unless I'm... I don't say either one. Yeah. But I would have to go John. If you're going to pick one. Yeah. But I remember specifically where I was and who taught me the word John. My buddy Chuck. Well, his name is Chuck, but it's not Chuck D'Amico. No. But in college, he's the one who taught me John. Yeah.

I want to teach you something. Well, but, you know, I had not known about that. So probably, what, 1994? Something along that, you know. So I've been saying we're...

known about John since then. So that's all I have to say about that. That's all I have to say about that. All right, well, anyhow, it was a pretty cool interview series with him. He's Superman for crying out loud. He's freaking Superman. And he's weighing in on all this stuff. I love it. I think he's charismatic. I think he's going to be a hell of a Superman. Where did he go to high school? Did he go to Shipley? Yeah. Is that right? He went to Juilliard. I knew that. Okay.

That's so cool. Well, we got him. Yes. And we got to get him on the show. Yeah, we definitely have to do that. Real quick, I want to do this. Eric's been on hold for a while. Let me go to him. He's got an Iverson story. Hi, Eric. You're on the air. Good morning. Hey, what's up? You guys rock. Thank you, man. All right, so you had an encounter with AI? Oh, my God. The entire parking authority used to because when I worked for the parking authority, when he was playing for the Sixers, he would go down to South Street and run into a sandwich shop or something. He would park everywhere.

He would park at the handicap ramps. He would park in front of the fire hydrants, whatever. And we would be writing him a ticket. We even had one of his cars towed. And all he would do is come out and be like, oh, well, at least somebody was watching my car. So he would not freak out? He would just suck it up?

Not at all. Not at all. He would just walk out like, well, here we go again. At least somebody's got my back. Like, he didn't care as long as nobody was actually messing with the car. Messing with the car. Stealing the car or something. All right. Interesting. All right. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. By the way, speaking of sports, and I have a follow-up. This was from last week. I have...

More information about the Graterford Prison football team. Right. We were talking about there was one caller had said that he had Jersey with whose blood was on it. He had Bergey's Jersey. Right. And it had some blood on it. And it was from when he had heard that the Eagles scrimmaged the Graterford Prison football team. And we found out that that was not the case.

the team did donate their jerseys to the Graterford football team. Right. And that that is what it was, but they did not scrimmage. And this was a follow-up Facebook message from the guy who, I guess, Marissa, worked at the prison.

He said the Eagles did not scrimmage the prison team. The field was made of clay with hardly any grass. The hash marks were made of white sand because they were not allowed lime into the prison.

The track around the field had cinders on it and was built a little higher than the field. When it started raining, some of the cinders from the track washed onto the playing field. There were inmates yelling to us that they bet packs of cigarettes on the game and we better win by 20 points. He said, don't know if it's true, but I heard that the vet donated the old AstroTurf to the prison, but they never came to pick it up.

I was working in a county prison at the time when we played in Graterford and knew some of the inmates that were previously incarcerated at the jail I worked at. I knew for a fact that one huge guy they called Lurch was on Thorazine. And I told my teammates, I don't care how hard you hit that guy.

It won't faze him. It's like Richard Kiel in The Longest Yard. He said, I'm pretty sure that the last time we played them, they started a big fight with us. Our coach kept yelling, keep your helmets on. The guards came down and told the inmates if they didn't break it up, they would cancel the season. The state supplied a bus to transfer us to and from the prison. And on the way out, they gave us bologna and cheese sandwiches, which we never ate.

And it was an experience we'll never forget. He doesn't stand for baloney. The Eagles did donate the old uniforms from the early 70s, the white helmets with the green wings, is what he says. I can't imagine there was ever a dynamic where they allowed the prisoners to play the guards. Right. Right? As depicted in the movie. I think that's a recipe for disaster. Yes, I would absolutely. These are the guys who hold sway over you every second of your life. Now we're going to give you a chance to run into them. Yep.

So that apparently did not happen, from what I understand. Or at least the Eagles did not scrimmage them. Speaking of the Eagles, you guys saw this Jalen Hurts has a children's book that he wrote? Yes. Announced it on Instagram on Monday. Better Than a Touchdown is the name of it.

And it turns out it's a Super Bowl is better than a touchdown. Follows a young boy named Jalen who is devastated to learn his high school's football team has been cut at the start of the year. But with some help from his friends, Jalen thinks that he might have what it takes to save the day. He said, it's always been a dream of mine to have my own children's book. And I'm blessed to say that dream has now become a reality with better than a touchdown. You ever had the notion of a...

Of a children's book story? I have one. I just don't have the creative drive to go any further. So if anybody wants to take this, it's about... It's a Christmas story about... About a dog named Greg? No, about an elf named Lance. Okay. And he's the elf that makes underpants. And in my story, your name rhymes with what you make. Right. So Lance makes underpants. Mike makes bikes. Molly makes dollies. And all this sort of stuff. And Lance...

doesn't like that he makes underpants. And then he comes to realize towards the end of the story that the things that he makes, the kids use every single day of their lives. Because even though it may not have the big glow to it, it's something you use every day. Which elf made board games? Well, that was George Games.

But you don't want to... You don't have the literary heart to read a ghost writer. Dude, I would love a ghost writer. You can't see him. That's a pretty good story, right? It's adorable. That's cute. The Brian Regan bit about writing a kid's book. No, I don't know that one. Page one, the clock goes tick. Page two, tick-tock. And that's what they're like. The really young books are like that. But like, you know...

tween fiction and like judy bloom level is like real real you know real fiction real writing i i really like good night moon i i thought that was a really fun one yeah yeah no there are some kids books like the hungry caterpillar and and uh that i remember that are pretty dear yeah 50 shades of gray mom would read that to me oh my god sweet mom what is that again what's that word again mommy

So Jalen added separately per the Eagles team website. He says, some of the most valuable lessons I've brought in my adult life were passed down to me during childhood, like the importance of doing something bigger than yourself. And I'm excited to share some of that wisdom with a new generation of kids in better than a touchdown. Joe Namath wrote that book, I Want to Kiss You. I hope this book's strong. I want to kiss you. It's about sexual assault. Yeah.

want to kiss me your mom's looking hot uh said joe real hot turn the page kiss you i want to kiss you here play with this string i want to talk to your mom casey you should get together with a gene beretta i think that's a great idea for a book and gene does kids books oh does he yeah if you're listening right now he does great stuff i just want

75%. You write the story and illustrate it. Right. And then just give me 75%. That's all I want. Jalen said, I hope this book strikes a chord of resilience, encourages self-belief, and resonates with not only kids, but teachers, mentors, and parents. With an air of recalcitrance. The book for which illustrations are provided by Nika Myers will be released on March 10th of next year. So it's a ways before you can get it. They just announced that it's coming out.

Which is cool. Good for him. Here's another cool thing. I think Marissa sent this over to me. This is in Philadelphia, and it's for the 16th summer. Local girls entering grades 7 through 12 are getting hands-on experience, mentorship, and exposure to the construction and skilled trades industries. Great.

Thanks to my WIC, which is Mentoring Young Women in Construction Program. Debbie, get up on that goddamn girder and get those rivets going. This year, the free day camp has expanded its reach once again with 84 students enrolled across two locations. Now, one of them already started on June 16th, but it goes through the 27th. That's in the Northeast.

And it says in the South Philly area, or I'm not sure if it's exactly in South Philly, but anyhow, July 7th through the 18th. Cindy, you left a jackhammer running. And it was organized by the NAWIC Philadelphia Foundation and designed to introduce young women to career paths they may not have previously considered. Let me tell you, I mean, I don't know if this pertains to this, but there are a couple of people on social media. One of them does...

Like real, this young lady, real rivets and all that stuff, construction sites, buildings.

I think she's a foreman, too, and shows some of the ins and outs of the work she does. And she loves it. Yeah, I love there's a garage in Upper Darby that is a women's run garage. And I believe if you go there to get your oil changed, they have a manicure pedicure place set up there so you can get your nails done as your car is getting serviced by women. And I love that.

I think I remember. Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a cool idea. No, I didn't realize we're doing City Beat. I didn't. Are you kidding me? We do all Philly-related stories. You shit the mother effer. I'm doing what I can. Wow, wow. Yeah, sorry about that. City Beat, we didn't even see it coming.

Girls Auto Clinic. It's the discreet city beat. Girls Auto Clinic Repair Center. Is that it, Nick? Yeah. Okay. They won best affiliate. Oh, nice. All right. So throughout the summer anyway, the participants will engage in skill building workshops, mentorship sessions with industry professionals and hands-on visits to job sites and local trade unions, including...

Carpenters, sheet metal workers, iron workers, electricians, bricklayers, laborers, and other skilled trades. Do you think, so in school, I don't think it happened enough where you got to actually go out to job sites and see what people did in the real experience.

You know, there was always, you know, they take your kids to work day. Right. But I think if you could experience a lot more of that when you're in school, it might open up some. Well, I mean, they do. If you go to a technical school or something along those lines. But it shouldn't just have to be a technical school. We also did stuff like that in scouts. Oh, did you? Yeah, there were field trips that were scheduled for us to go to places and see what type of work they did through Cub Scouts. I was in the Foreign Legion.

Okay, and where'd you guys go? Nowhere. Oh, man. Stayed in the desert. Boring. It's not foreign at all. It's just a staying legion. Yeah. So field trips include tours of the Bellwether District, CHOP's Roberts Health Center, the Chapel Block at the Navy Yard, and the I-95 capping project as well. Oh, wow. That's cool. Yeah. Let the kids build that. Mentoring young women in construction is a free...

industry day camp for 7th through 12th grade girls in the Philadelphia region. That's awesome. I would love to know where all of those materials are being built for this capping project because they, Press, you probably see it on your way home from work every day. That stuff is coming down 76. I have not been experiencing that. Oh, really? I saw one giant girder that was coming through. And then last week, Nick, I think when I was driving you home, we saw...

I don't think I've paid attention to it. It's got to be going by. In the opposite direction. And sometimes, Casey's right, sometimes they'll slow or stop traffic because it's...

you know, oversized lows and they are massive. There's the, Casey, you referenced this last week or the week before, the giant I-beams, but they also have like just huge pieces of, like, I don't know if it's concrete or whatever it is, but like the capping over 95 that's going to be where the park goes. It's amazing to see them transport stuff like that. Yeah. To see stuff that huge coming down a main thoroughfare. Yeah, that's not very sure. And every,

Every aspect of that, from the vehicle that transports it to how they lift it onto the vehicle that transports it. I mean, it's astonishing. Can't wait for this thing to get built. Yep, yep, yep. All right, then there's another one out of our area. And I mentioned this in news earlier this morning, but it's worth bringing up again. So two NASA research aircraft are conducting low-altitude atmospheric research flights over our area until Thursday, June

And the Center City District put out an alert yesterday for this. Anomalous air traffic over your... I always notice. I helicopter something. I go out and look. Some people are sort of blissfully unaware, but I'm like... Or like a plane that's low. You're like, what the hell is that? Yeah, yeah. All the time. Like what...

what the hey who do what rochelle is very uh attuned to low flying aircraft she could go out on the machine gun well she said the last couple she'd like we were sitting out yesterday she's like last couple days there's been some planes that are flying really low around here i don't know what i'm like i'm like there's a couple airports around here maybe they're coming in for a

Have you guys ever driven down 95 when a plane lands across 95? There's like, I guess, maybe a smaller runway. Yeah.

Yes. That runs perpendicular to... It seems dangerous to put a runway on 95. Yeah, but it's on the other side. I might have misspoke. But it's not on 95. But the plane has to fly, I mean, over 95. I've seen it. It's pretty amazing. Yeah. It's scary, too. A little disconcerting, yeah. We landed and took off from that strip, Casey. We were just taking a smaller prop plane. We were coming back, I think, from New York, from Newark Airport. Oh, okay.

Oh, a puddle jumper. Yeah. So it was one of the, and we had to, we had to take that, or land on that particular strip, which I was like, wow, it was different. It's kind of cool. I mean, I love landing. Landing is a, I love looking at the window. It's an essential part of flying. Yeah.

Landing and taking off are very exciting. I love it. Most pilots have to learn both. Have you guys watched the rehearsal yet? The Nathan Fielder thing where he learns how to fly a 737. There's two seasons of it. The first season starts off with a guy who lied to his partner

trivia team about joining, getting his master's degree. And then the second season is all about plane crashes. And he spends a lot of time talking about 737s. And it's just a fascinating glimpse into his theory as to why plane crashes happen. And it's all about miscommunications between the pilot and the co-pilot. And he starts, he learns how to fly a 737 and he flies it over the Mojave Desert. And he

starts referring to it as the miracle over the Mojave. But nobody else starts calling it that. All he does is fly it successfully. But he takes off and he lands, and it's a really fascinating series. I can't recommend it more highly. So pilots are going to be operating these aircraft that I mentioned at altitudes lower than typical commercial flights, executing specialized maneuvers such as vertical spirals.

between 1,000 and 10,000 feet, circling above power plants, landfills, and urban areas. What are vertical spirals, I'm curious? They're like Funyuns. Oh, okay. I haven't had a Funyun in a long time.

They're like vertical spirals. I assume... I didn't know if that means they're flying straight up and rotating. That's what I assumed. Or like a vertical barrel roll. Yeah. So I'm not really sure. It's... Yeah. Or perhaps longer, you know, like a more gradual...

Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that makes more sense. He was showing like a spring coil or a corkscrew shape flying upwards. I'll bet you that's what that is. Yeah, they're out there doing... Why are you doing this? It's part of the experiment. Stunt flying up there. What did he say? He didn't say nothing. He just gave you that look. You know, he's got that look.

The flights will also include occasional missed approaches at local airports and low-altitude flybys along runways to collect air samples near the surface. Go ahead. And the flights began Sunday and will continue until July 2nd over areas that include the Baltimore region and some cities in Virginia as well. Years and years and years ago, I was probably...

10 or 11 years old, East North Port, Long Island. We had our, we're out in the back. My dad, we were raking leaves and, you know, it was a suburban area, Preston, not very developed. And I swear to God this happened. My dad saw it as well. We're out there and a plane, we heard the noise, a plane like a Piper Cub.

Came down, and to us, it looked like... I mean, it looked to me like it was pulling out of a dive. Like something was wrong. Came down low enough to kick up all the leaves. What? That we had been... And this happened. And no one else saw it. But...

I saw it. And my dad saw it. But it's still one of those things like, did we see that? Did you look at each other and say, did you see that? And it was one of those things, but it's like, you just don't make something like that up. How old do you think you were? I think I was like 11. Okay. And at that time, it would be difficult to...

Find out what the hell that was and what happened. Log on to Facebook. My fraternity brother, I swear to God, Steve, he was around the same age. It was during the middle of the day. He said he saw a UFO straight up just flying over houses. On my home planet, I was a botanist. Listen, UFOs are...

It simply means unidentified flying object. However, they are seen in the daylight often. And that's what he's seen. He's seen it. I was telling Casey the other day, completely unrelated to the UFO. There's a woman that I follow on Instagram. She's a professional pilot.

Very, you know, very skilled. She can fly all kinds of aircraft and she's attractive, which obviously that's why, you know, she's a social media thing. But I was watching a video of her and a friend. They were flying somewhere for, they were flying a few hours away to go for on a trip or something like that.

And I've realized that the pilot banter when they're speaking to the tower is, I love it. I love hearing it. And I pulled up, and so it's like ASMR inducing for me. So I found, like, there's hours of it on YouTube. You can go and find videos that are like five, six hours long of just pilot banter. It's excellent. So Long Island has, is it MacArthur Airport, I think it was? Or maybe it was, oh, maybe Farmingdale Airport.

Long story short, Preston, there was a restaurant right off adjacent to the runway. Was it 93rd Arrow Squadron?

Because there's a few of those that are right next to the air. You could listen to the tower and the pilot. You could, at your table, listen to the air traffic. That's cool. That's awesome. It's very cool. I love it. I can never do that. They're so precise with their language. And they speak quickly. Uh-huh. I don't know how they... We're about to crash in a restaurant and we can't pull ours out.

I don't know how they understand each other. I don't know how they can speak that quickly. It's its own language. In matters of stress...

inducing nightmarish activity to keep your calm. Just in a regular conversation, I will catch myself talking and I'll notice that I haven't messed up yet and that will mess me up in talking. I know what you're saying. I'm saying all these words right. I'm not messing anything up. Oh my God, I'm talking. Who am I going to be naming dogs?

You will distract yourself. I will distract myself by noticing. I can't even leave an outgoing voicemail message. This is my son, Casey. He's been talking now for decades. That's right. Show him. Show him, son. You listen to the show. You guys know I'm not good at talking. Here, watch. Describe that door, Casey. That is a wooden door painted red. How about that? Hey, hey. Kids are natural.

Anyway, NASA is conducting these low altitude flights this week. And so, you know, when they were talking about these different things, I was wondering, could you float them a few bucks and do a mini vomit? Oh, that'd be cool. That'd be cool. Yes. I would love to do the vomit. You can do it. There's like you can pay for it. You can pay for it. There's there are a couple of tours that that do it and use the similar aircraft, that parabolic flight path that gives the weightlessness. Yep.

But it's a chunk of change. It's a chunk of change and you will get sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's the only other thing about it. I'm not fond of puking. Well, the diarrhea comment hardly sells.

That's less popular than the vomit comment. Oh, my God. I didn't think it was this expensive. Neither did I, Nick. Steve, it's almost $9,000 per person per seat. Whoa. There's one in Vegas. How much is the diarrhea comment? A lot more. You're paying for cleanup.

What do you want, kids? The Dementors got the vomit comet or the diarrhea comet? It's called the Zero-G flights out of Las Vegas. And yeah, nine grand per person. So I would still want to do it. I was thinking like $2,000. Yeah, me too. Almost 10 grand. And that's too much. Yeah, if you throw in the decorative pin. You know what? It's five hours. Oh.

which is, I guess, a good length of time for something that costs that much money. But if it goes awry or you're not enjoying it and you're spending five hours up there, that's got to suck. My guess is that perhaps you're flying to an area...

There's a bit of a travel to the area where you execute it and then the area back because you probably can't be doing that kind of flying over any remotely residential area. How many dives do they do? A lot. 15. And you get to keep the flight suit. But they can't... Yes, that's probably a good portion. I'm not kidding. There's a pre-flight meal. And you're going on the Vomit Comet and it's a pre-flight meal. It's haggis and meisterbrow. You get photos and videos of your experience. Yeah.

Um, so yeah, I don't know. Five hours for nine grand or a week in Hawaii. Yeah. Right. Your choice. Really nice suite in Vegas. Wow. People have gotten married while doing it. You can vomit there too. Yeah. Yeah.

Can I have the vomit sweet, please? These low-level flights are going to be taking place. So if you see these aircraft, and they're a little bit bigger. There's one that's, I think it's the P-3 Orion, which has four turboprop. So it's a pretty good size. It's a cool-looking aircraft. I get this image of Rochelle being so attuned to it. She goes out on the 50 Cal, Preston. Yeah.

Starts firing off rounds. No, but she's... You want a piece of me? She's aware of that. We had two Ospreys that flew by.

over the weekend, which is pretty cool. They're amazing. And they're loud. You can hear them coming. We were out in Jersey a couple weeks ago and they had the air show. And the stuff you were seeing in the sky was amazing. I was coming down 95 south going by Boeing and Osprey had just taken off from there. It was a little jarring because I'm just driving down 95 and I just see this Warcraft car.

You know, and it was flying low because it had just taken off. I know there are issues with those things, but they are so cool when they're flying out. Mm-hmm.

All right. So anyhow, that was the last City Beat thing that I thought I would mention. The discreet City Beat. Casey, we got a call. Oh, I do? I'm sorry. Marissa has a City Beat thing. Let me go to her and then we'll take this call. Marissa, what did you want to add? Really quickly, if you guys remember on Friday, we were doing the connoisseur and we mentioned a bakery in Rittenhouse called Levon Bakery. Yes. And their new cookies. They sent us cookies. Whoa! All right!

Yeah, we had mentioned the Rocky Road cookie. Wow. Oh, my God. Wow. This thing weighs a ton. Just brought this box in here. Hey, President Steve, thanks for sharing our Rocky Road cookie. Hope you enjoy the return of our champion seasonal cookie. Oh, my God. Look at these things. Oh, boy. Oh, wow. Hold two up over your nipples. Hold on. I'll do that. Oh, wow.

Oh my God, they smell so good. Yeah, and they feel good probably too, right? I'm going to try a little bite. You guys mind if I do a little bite? No, by all means, we'll let you be the taste. That looks absolutely sinful. I'm not a marshmallow fan, I told you guys. I know. Hang on, I can't. When you were a kid, your marshmallow walked out on you. Talk to it. Oh my God.

So I like a little... What's in the box? I like a little crunch in my cookie. You guys know that. I could hear crunch. It's crunchy on the outside and gooey in the middle. Oh, yeah. All right, excellent.

From zero to ten. Rating? Thank you, guys. Oh, I mean, right now it's a ten. That's phenomenal. Excellent. All right, well, before we dive in and all eat. I'll do it later. One other. I'm going to go to this call. Casey, this concerns you. We have Gene Beretta on the line. Children's author. To maybe have Casey's dream come true. Gene, good morning.

Oh my God, this cookie is delicious. You can taste it over there. You got one too. Yeah.

So, yeah, I know you moved on from the subject, but did you have questions about children's books, Casey? Well, Casey has this idea of this this children's book that he is just simply the thought man on. He was looking for a little bit of follow through. Your name came up. You know, you are well respected in this field. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I don't necessarily know how to construct a book, a kid's book, anything like that. I just have an idea for a story.

All right. Well, you know, I'm your Dr. Mike for children's books. All right. So how should he proceed? Could he hire? Could he collab with you? Yeah, could he collab? Because you've got many awards.

Well, you can collaborate, and we can follow this up with a phone call or something, Casey, if you want. But basically, you have to get your manuscript. I assume you're writing it, not illustrating it. He doesn't want to do either. He doesn't even want to write it, Gene. He just wants to give you the idea, and he would like to have 75% of the profit. I basically have a basic storyboard.

I think it's a really good story. Tell him what it is. It's a great story and it's a really good idea. Wait, you shouldn't. Do you sure you want to tell it over the air? He already did. He already did. Yep. Oh, he did. Okay, what is it? It's about a spider named Charlotte. Yes. Now hear me out here.

Who has a friend cat who has a hat. Yeah. No, Gene, essentially it's a kid's book, but it's also a Christmas book as well. I do think that if we get the story and the illustrations, everything done right, I think that there's a future here. You know, for other books, perhaps Christmas specials or something along those lines. Yeah. Ramadan. It's just about a Christmas elf who is tasked with making a certain product and

And he's not happy about it. But as it turns out, the product that he makes, the kids use every single day of their lives. Whereas, you know, bikes aren't being ridden every day. You know, dolls aren't being used every day. But what Lance, this elf, makes is used every single day. And so he sort of comes around. We already said he makes underpants. Yeah, Lance makes underpants.

Oh, I thought it was going to be meth. Yeah. It's underpants. It's underpants. Lens makes meth. Yeah. So listen, Gene, we can continue this conversation. Real quick. Yeah. Yeah, we can do that. But I'll just tell for anybody else who's out there who wants to be an aspiring author, you don't want to get it illustrated. If you're going to take it to a publisher, they don't want you to submit a story with illustrations because they want to be the ones to match you up with somebody that they envision as the visuals. Okay. So,

You just have to worry about getting the manuscript in the best form you can. And we can talk more about that. Gene, I assume that there's a lot of predatory stuff when it comes to quote-unquote publishers and charging you for things and all that stuff. It should be very leery, correct?

Yeah, sure. I mean, you don't want to just go online and say, you know, we'll write your book for you. Right. You know, it gets hairy there, but I'll fill you in. Nick will give you my number, okay? All right. Perfect. Love it. All right, Gene. Thanks for checking in. All right, bud. We'll talk to you soon. All right. Good man, that Gene. Gene Barretta. The Barretta brothers. All right. We do not...

need to take a break. So we're going to do that very thing right now. We will come back in a moment. Before the show is up, we will have another four pack of tickets for Hershey Park in the live broadcast on Thursday. So stay close. Love for you to win that. We'll be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you very much, Marissa. Yes, sir. Just a quick question. What do you usually normally put a turkey in the oven at?

Like 325. So if we have a string of 325 degree days, we can try this. It only takes like two and a half, three hours depending on the weight. Keep that in mind. Alright, so there was a piece of audio that I'm going to play for you guys from this story I saw online and I thought about putting it in the Bizarre File but I think it's worthy of maybe taking some calls on. This is the Colorado Appellate Court. They were

filming uh oral arguments um and there was an occasion there was a moment it was um while arguing whether or not i'm reading this from the story while arguing whether or not a violent sexual assault counts as a single actor can be broken up into multiple acts to further ratchet up the sentence the prosecution's appellate lawyer was addressing judge elizabeth harris

And he says something which he clearly did not mean to say. And this will lead to the discussion of something that left your mouth. Yes. For whatever reason, you don't know why, but it just happened. Yes.

And I want to hear from people who have had something like this happen. Listen, have you guys heard it yet? Yes. You did. After you said it last night, yes. Okay. Listen to what this is. The discussion they're having and then he says this. Here we go. This could have been three separate. Okay, but it wasn't three separate. Let's go with what happened in the case. Honey, or, oh my God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Honey. Honey. He calls the judge.

So his brain goes to a place where he's like having an argument with his wife or something along those lines? Maybe. So let me, and it continues on. So I'm going to start from the top again, but listen to him. He just can't shake it because he can't, he doesn't know why it happened. This could have been three separate. Okay, but it wasn't three separate. Let's go with what happened in the case. But honey, or, oh my God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That, that, that, I don't know what to say to that.

I apologize. Okay, go ahead. The question here is what happened... I'm sorry, I've just been totally thrown by my mistake. Yeah, I can imagine. I'm a little thrown by that also, if I'm being honest. Your Honor, I don't know what to say. It's just a... Okay, well, go ahead. You've only got a minute and seven seconds left. The question here... Dude just cannot. At that point, and again, so I was listening...

What are the legal ramifications of that? Is he now incapable of serving his client? I don't know. Would the thing to do be to take a pause and return? Because...

Everyone, at least most people I know, have been in a situation where something left your mouth and it may just be a reflexive, I've said I love you to people. Sure. Wrapping up. Right. But I mean, just random people are called somebody sweetheart. I have had on a couple of occasions, and I can't remember the exact circumstances where I have said something, it was the wrong thing, I did not mean to say it, and at that moment-

I get like lightheaded. You can literally feel blood rushing either in a gush to your brain or away from your brain, but something or there's some kind of hormonal dump, like an adrenaline dump actually can happen. I don't know if you guys have ever experienced that before. And it's like...

you physically feel like you just were, like you ran into a brick wall or something like that. I mean, you can chuckle at it when you hear other people do it. We've all had those. But in this case, he's saying it to, and you can tell.

As you said, it may have been like he's hearing a feminine voice. He talks to his wife and says, honey. Yeah. And it may not even have been and probably wasn't derogatory or diminishing or who knows what it could be. He immediately heard himself, heard how it sounds, was furious.

Apologetic. Contrite. Very, very much so. Couldn't even like continue because he was like, oh my God, I cannot believe. Because there is a certain amount of decorum in a courtroom. He understands that. You can't call the judge honey. I'm a little bit taken back by her even saying anything. Clearly this guy. But yet I disagree. I've run through this in my mind as well. I'm the judge. I'm sitting there. I've worked my ass off to get in this position. Yes.

And then you throw something like that at me, whether it's intended to or not. A subliminal message in your brain is going, honey. You know what I mean? So that's what I show. If you think about it from both sides, man, it's a tough call. I think I think she handled it very well. Yeah, she knew what had happened. And then she said, honestly, if I'm going to be honest, it is.

it was jarring to me a little bit. Just regardless of the fact that he's saying this to a female judge, just out of respect to the judgeship, you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't say, hey, buddy. What if it was a male judge and he said, honey? That'd be even funnier. Yeah. So anyhow, the topic of conversation is,

something that for whatever reason left your mouth, a word came out of your mouth that you didn't even know you were forming the letters for, the sounds, and it just came out and you're like, oh my God, why did I say that? I can't believe I said it. Or what was the most inappropriate or

stupidest thing that came out of your mouth by accident like that. A slip. There are misreadings. There are anchors saying the wrong thing on... Julie Jerkoff is a perfect example of misreading a name. But when you say the... Out of the blue, something comes to your mind and you're just part of... It's part of your speech. It's like...

What? How? 610-660-9333 is our number. Let me see. I'm going to go to Don who's joining us. Yo, Don, good morning. Good morning. What's up, Don?

So I was dating a woman with the first letter of T in her name and a friend of mine whose first letter name is T. And there was numerous times where I was arguing with either party and the other name came up. And it's still to a degree to this day a dog ass I probably will never dig my way out of. So you said the other woman's name to the one woman you were dating?

Yeah, it's like if I was, because I was, you know, I'd argue with my friend about stupid stuff and then arguing with, because their names were not that different. And yeah, so. Yeah. Did you ever utter the name during the Throes of Passion?

No. All right. Well, there you go. That would have been even worse. No, but you know what? Like I, and I don't know why this is, but I mix, I mix up my sister and my wife quite a bit. And sometimes I'll be talking about my sister and I'll say my wife or the other way around, or I'll say their names. And I do the same thing with my son and my younger brother, not my older brother, but my younger brother, uh, sometimes we'll call him Seamus or,

Or the other way around. I don't know why that is. Here's a couple of texts coming in. This one says, I said calm down to my wife one time. Oh boy. And he said, as soon as the words left my mouth, I knew that I was cooked. And there's another one that says, pro tip fellas, telling your wife she's acting crazy will not calm her down.

No, you're acting crazy. Yeah, you sound insane. You sound nuts. Yeah. Yeah. You know what, honey? You're right. You sound insane. Hang on. You should be medicated. Let me go to Matt. Hey, Matt. Good morning. Good morning. First time, long time. Welcome, brother. What's going on?

So when I was about 15 or 16, my mom and my stepdad, me and my sister, who was probably still in a car seat at the time, were traveling down the road. Mom started giving me the talk about sex and, you know, making sure, you know, you wear protection and everything. Well, my filter didn't work and it just came out, well, spitters are quitters. Wow. You said that to your mom? Yep. Yep.

And what was the reaction? She said word. Her jaw dropped, and everybody was speechless, and it was a silent 30-minute ride home. Spinners or quitters? Word. Word, yeah. Oh, my God. Straight up. All right, thanks, Matt. What case? Go to Kevin on line four. Hey, Kevin, you're on the air. Good morning, bud.

Hey, good morning, guys. How's it going? Great, man. All right. So this left your mouth. You didn't mean to say it. What was it?

It was terrible. So I was out getting a slice of pie with my ex-wife, who was my girlfriend at the time, and her mother. So we're eating this mile-high pie. It's love throughout the land. So my girlfriend goes to take a bite of the pie, and her mother goes, man, I've never seen you open your mouth that big. And without even thinking, I went, you'd be surprised. Oh, my God. I was 15. Her mom just kind of went...

Huh. My girlfriend kicked me under the table and then I sat there silent with a dumb head for about 30 minutes. I meant that purely in an oral sex way. Oh, my God. I mean, yeah, that's exactly what happened. I am so sorry. I meant that in an oral sex way. Kevin, how long did you guys stay together after that?

I ended up marrying her four years later and then we stayed married for 10 years. I had three kids with her. Wow. We ended up getting divorced, but we're cordial now. Everything's cool. Are you now with the mother-in-law? The mother-in-law, she's okay. We ended up being all right. All right. Thanks, Kevin. I appreciate it, man. Wow. Let me see here. I will go to Melanie next. Hey, Melanie, good morning.

Yoo-hoo! What's up, Melanie?

So many moons ago, I was a property manager in a luxury apartment community, and I had a resident come into the office to tell me about a problem she was having, and in her sort of French accent, and I can't really do one, but I'll try. And so she goes, there is poop everywhere in my apartment. I had the mouth, and there's poop on the counters, and poop on the couch, and there's poop here and poop there, and finally, after about six

60 seconds of her telling me all the places where there was mouse poop. I finally went to shush. I got it. Shush. Wow. How was that received? All the blood left my body. You couldn't believe you did it. Her eyes got real big. Yeah, I couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes got real big. All the blood left my body. My heart fell into my butt. And I was like, I'm so sorry. I...

We will fix it. I will figure it out. She's like, you better fix it. You better not. You sure should, bitch. Oh, my God. Oh, wow. Yes. Thanks, Melanie. See, what happens is we get, there's sort of a muscle memory. You're conversing with people in your life. And so sometimes in a conversation, you sort of...

veer away or hover above it and then you say something oh my god no no that not in this situation and before you know it you are sunk all right hang on i'm trying to find who we want to go to next let me get to uh sean next hey sean morning

Rod Stewart really melts my butter. Butter! What's going on, buddy? I don't know if you remember a month ago, you read the really nice shout-out that I sent you. I'm the Sean from that wedding with the fire and the... But... Before we got married...

I thought that my fiancee, now wife at the time, now wife, was being silly about something. And it would get annoying, and I just said, honey, you're acting crazy. And before I even finished the sentence, I knew I messed up. And I thought, I just told...

My, by the way, Greek wife, because, you know, they're known for keeping their emotions in check when they're upset that she's acting crazy. And, you know, where it was like this was like a tier one annoyance acting crazy, well, it went to tier five, guys. Yeah. And I did it for you. Wow. Yeah.

The night was not good for me, guys. No, no, no. And I'm sure it's like, oh, you think I'm crazy? You want to see crazy? And that's where it leads to after that. You need to avoid, just think about how you would feel were you to hear, you're acting crazy. Yep. And just turn it around and you'll judge yourself. You want to see crazy? Thanks, Sean. Now this has happened. We've talked about this before, but I'm going to go to Raymond next. Yo, Ray, you're on the air. Good morning, buddy.

Gadzooks, guys. Gadzooks, man. What's going on? Hey, so I work for Bath Fitters, and I was going to a customer's house to change one of their shower heads. And I finished up the job. The woman was very polite. And as I'm going to leave her house, I was like, okay, I love you. And she proceeds to turn around and say, okay, love you, too. Oh, okay.

That worked out nicely. So we both turn around and look at each other and just start laughing. And I was like, I'm really happy you followed through with that. My hand must have been as red as a fire engine. I love that. It happens occasionally in a long conversation. And you love you or yes. I mean, I like you. I want to ask you on a date. Yeah.

I just spit in your bath. I mean, I'm already in your shower. Right, exactly. All right, thanks, Ray. If you thought that fit well. All right, we're going to go to, let me see here. I have Jeremy. Hi, Jeremy, you're on the air. Good morning. What's going on? Yo, brother, what's up? So, I mean, I do have a reputation for opening my mouth, going to my wife's high school reunion.

On the drive, she proceeds to tell me, you know, don't make a fool out of me, please. No, I'll be okay. We walk into the bar where the reunion is, and the person walking out as we walk in is Jeff, which is my wife's high school boyfriend. All right. And...

I've heard of Jeff. I know all about him. My grandmother used to call me Jeff by accident. And my wife said, well, here we go. Let's get this out of the way. Jeremy, this is Jeff. Jeff, this is Jeremy. I said, wow, Jeff, good to finally meet you. I said, it's kind of ironic, isn't it? And he said, what is that?

I said, here's Lauren with the first guy she slept with and the last guy she slept with. Wow. You got that entire sentence out? Wow. That's not a word slipping out. Yeah, that's a whole thought, Daz. Hey, we've both been inside her. Pretty embarrassing. But I'll be honest with you, by the end of the night, Jeff

Jeff and I were doing shots together. I knew it. I knew you and Jeff hit it off. Oh, my God. That's awesome. All right. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. I think a lot of this can also come from the need to you feel you need to be pithy in a certain situation. Yeah. And you don't. You're not good at it. Yep. Let me go to Steve here. I can't wait to hear this. Hi, Steve. Good morning. What's up, bitch? Yo, bitch. What you got?

So my job is I'm EMS. So what we do is we empty the hospitals. We go in and most of our patients are dementia patients. We're taking them to, you know, home or hospice or, you know, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, that kind of thing.

So I'm in the hallway, standing up against the wall. My partner's in the bathroom. So I'm just standing there waiting for my partner. And there's a female nurse walking by, and, you know, she's saying hi to me. And in my head, I'm like, I'm okay, or I'm good, right?

And it came out I'm gay. How you doing? I'm gay. I'm gay. That's exactly it. That's exactly how it came out. In my head, I'm like, I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I felt like saying that the whole way.

She just kept walking. She didn't do anything. She didn't even look at me. She just kept walking. It's okay. You're with friends. It's all right. That's awesome. It doesn't really matter what she thought, you know? Yeah, no, it doesn't. It really doesn't. Steve, Casey did the... It really doesn't at all. I mean, if my wife was there, she probably would have laughed her ass off, but it was so great. I love it.

Casey did the same thing. What was yours? At Subaru, I wanted to say, hey, guys. And instead of that, I said, hi, gays. Hi, gays. I hear that phrase in my head all the time, Casey. All the time. And I had to stop dead in my tracks. I'm like, oh, my God. What did I do? I meant to say something else. Hi, gays. Hi, gays. Oh, no, I'm hetero. Okay. Wow. Wow.

Well, I'm going to go to... These are branching off a little bit from what we're talking about, but I'll go to some calls. I'm going to go to Dan. Hey, Dan, good morning. Hey, Gadzooks, guys. Gadzooks, man, what's up? All right, so I started my career as a pilot at the shore telling banners. And we had these small communication radios on board just like most small and large aircraft. So we had our own frequency that we thought was super secret. And you listen to these guys all summer talking about...

Yeah.

So the entire summer, these guys in the shack had been listening to us be idiots on the road. Oh, my God. So you had no idea that they were able to monitor everything you were saying? The entire time. It got pretty cleaned up after that. Dan, I have a completely unrelated question because when we're down at the beach and we're watching you guys fly by, the people that do that for a living because they're going by all day long.

I think that that would be a great retirement gig, would just be to get up there and fly up and down the coast. You're doing what you love. You love to fly. It's not dynamic or exciting flying, but you get to be in the air. Is that a great gig? I mean...

Back when I was doing it, the pay was, I don't know. There's not many people that would do it for fun. There's a lot of guys, you know, people building flight time and stuff doing it. Right. You know, it's hot days. You're down low and over the water. No place to go if you have an issue. Well, you blew a hole in my theory, so thank you. What was your call sign? Yeah. Stallion? You know what? Mine was just my name yelled like I was in trouble. Dan! It was not a real call.

Yeah, yeah. It was pretty lame. Other guys had awesome names. I did not. So I kept my act pretty clean. His is just Dan with an exclamation point in the air. Dan! Dan! Watch it!

All right. Thanks, man. That's not fun. I thought it would be a great gig for, you know, just to be in the air. I think it'd be fun to like maybe spend an afternoon, you know, up with in one of those, just kind of going up and down the shore. I don't know how it'd be every day, especially if the pace sucks. Yeah, well, I didn't know that part of it. We're going to go to Debra. Hi, Debra. Good morning.

Hi, good morning. Hi, Debra. We were talking about having a Freudian slip or just saying the wrong thing you didn't mean to. It left your mouth. You can't get it back. What was your story?

Oh, no. Oh, no.

And did she hear you say it? Yeah.

saying something ridiculously stupid. When you try to recover and try to act like you're, oh, it's just being funny. We're going to take some more calls, but I want to play this audio again because it's so cringeworthy. This is in a courtroom scenario. The prosecutor is talking to the judge. He's trying to explain something about this case and he calls her honey. Honey.

And clearly didn't mean to, but it just stops him in his tracks. This could have been three separate. Okay, but it wasn't three separate. Let's go with what happened in the case. Honey, or, oh my God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sugar teas. I'm so sorry. I call my wife sugar teas. She has these perky, well, that's another thing.

But I mean, you can, at least I'm judging sincerely by the way he was just immediately flabbergasted that there was no... Yeah, yeah. It was a Freudian sling. He thought maybe he was thinking about how he and his wife talked to each other or something along those lines. That's my guess anyway. But it doesn't matter. You said it. There's maybe a Freudian thing that you're associated with. That's at least what the judge would think. Listen, maybe let's go out for some drinks after this. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Oh, God. But she, I think she handled it, you know, well, until he said he couldn't collect it. Yeah. And then she said, well, to be honest, it was a little weird for me. Honey. Yeah. Sweetheart, baby, please. Toots. Toots. Yeah. Toots. I mean, you're a dame. Yeah. You understand. You're a broad. Why don't you take them walking sticks back into your...

Judge's chambers and check the law. I'm going to go to Chad the Rad who's on the phone. Hey, Chad, what's up, man? Hey, what's going on, guys? Hey, bitches. Hey, what? What's up, dude? What's up? All right, so my son, my oldest son, 21, his ex-girlfriend and him dated for about, I guess, three years. And he was with his new girlfriend. And we're on the phone.

And we're talking and I'm like, "Oh, so what are you doing tonight?" He's like, "I gotta go grab so-and-so's sister from work." And immediately I knew he said the wrong name and I felt his new girlfriend's eyes looking through the phone. Like, I was like, "Oh my God." I didn't know what to say to his father, so I just ended it with this. I said, "All right, buddy, I'll talk to you later. You have a good night." I got the phone.

Oh, my God. He told me the next day. He's like, Dad, her eyes were looking through me. He's like, I felt like crap. Yeah. But it was hilarious. That's a good one. Thanks, Chad. No, that can happen. I had it happen in reverse. I had a girl that I had been dating, and she called me by her ex's name while we were in bed together. Wow. Yeah. Oh, Gary. And that was like, oh, Gary. Oh, Gary. Oh!

I'm like, who's Chris? Oh, man. And she's like, I said, press my old boyfriend. I was like, oh, OK. And then I just kept going. Yeah. Yeah. You had a job to do. Yeah. You smell like burning tires. Oh, my God. No, it wasn't her. So I had my my brother was living. My younger brother, Tom, was living with with me for a while.

And so people would call for him and a girl he was seeing called. And we sound very much alike, especially on the phone. And so she starts to go into this conversation. I'm like, I think you want my brother, Tom. And you could hear. I'm going to one last call. It's actually a text. But Rose been on hold for like 15, 20 minutes. I row. You are on the air. Good morning. Hey, guys. Good morning. Hey, what's up, bro?

So this was a horrible story as I'm laughing. This is when my daughter was born and she came out looking like my husband's twin, um,

and still does. So my husband and I were, you know, weeks later, we were texting back and forth. And my husband, I don't even want to say my husband's name. This is such a terrible story, but we were texting back and forth. And he said to me, honey, I'm so sorry. You know, I know she looks like me, but I really, you're so good. Whatever, you know, I want her to look like you. I'm so sorry. She looks like me and my family. And I was like, oh, don't be ridiculous. Like she's perfect, you know? And then he went on to say, well, you know, it, it,

I should also say he has a bunch of sisters. And so he went on to say to me in the text, well, you know, it's not like the women in my family are the most attractive. Like they hit every branch on the way down. And then the conversation just sort of ended. So he gets home from work.

Oh, my. Yeah.

Yep. Holy crap. Needless to say, he was, you know, exited out of the group chat. And this was like four years ago. And it's still, you know, it's kind of been radio silence since then. No kidding. So they haven't had contact with each other in that long because of that? There has been contact. But it's definitely, I think. It's minimal. You know, put a little wedge. Wow. And how do you recover from that? I mean, that's irrecoverable.

I think what you could say, Ro, is to say, you know, I was...

My wife is not feeling good, so I just use that as an example. I pull something out of thin air and try to help. But, I mean, it is what it is. And he should say, if the truth be known, step in front of a mirror and tell me what you think. All right. Thank you, Roe. Appreciate it. All right. Actually, I lied. One last call. I know we've got to wrap it up, Case, but we're going to do a quick one here with Bradley. Hey, Bradley, good morning. Hey, good morning, guys. You're going to love this one. All right.

All right, so I'm drinking heavily with one of my service buddies the night before, and the cops got called because of the disturbance. And after a long discussion, he's like, dude, I'm not going to write this up. Just let it go because, you know, you fly a lot. And the next morning...

My squadron commander walks up to me, pulls me away from the crowd, walks me down the hallway, and he's like, I was in a squadron meeting with all the commanders of the base. And they singled me out and said one of my boys was screwing up last night. And I just had that cold shiver down my spine.

And as we walked away, he's got my arm around my shoulder and we're talking really quiet.

All I could say to him was, sorry, Dad. And then he just looked at me and just walked away. Really? Nothing else to say. Sorry, Dad. In your defense, it seemed like a very paternal encounter, you know, so, but wow, sorry, Dad. That's great, Brad. So let me ask you, what were you, you were flying quite often, and what were you flying?

All right. And I was...

Doing stuff where we would be out three weeks, home for one day, out for two weeks. Okay. Home for 15 hours. So I was just wondering if it was like nuclear bombers and stuff like that. What kind of equipment were you on?

I'm a C5 Galaxy cargo. Okay, cargo plane, big one. I just wanted it in the Air Force. Yeah, awesome. All right, Bradley. Thanks, Dad. Appreciate it. We'll see you around, bud. All right. Well, it happens. People will let something slip, either Freudian or it just...

formed in your mouth. I don't know how, but this guy called the judge, honey. Oh my God. It's just cringeworthy. Immediately. I want to follow up with that and see how that ended up playing out because I would assume at some point you'd have to just say, we need to take a pause and recollect. Yeah. Somebody texted in and said it'd be hilarious if those two were having an affair. Oh my God. In the first place, he and the judge were actually together. It's like a fish called Wanda. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a second or two. We've got some bizarre file stories. I think you'll like them. We'll have them next.

Brought to you by A.D. Moyer, trusted expert since 1939. A.D. Moyer Lumber is your professional source for decks, windows, doors, kitchens, millwork, and more. And you can visit them on the web at admoyer.com. So an unusual incident took place last Friday in Spain. A local police patrol noticed that the driver of a van wasn't wearing a seatbelt and he was driving erratically, so they pulled him over. The 70-year-old man immediately set the tone of the interaction with the phrase, I should

I should have run you over. And things only got more heated from then on. So it began pleasantly. Suspecting that the man was under the influence of alcohol, officers asked him to take breathalyzer tests, which yielded positive for alcohol. That's broken. When they asked him to repeat the procedure to confirm the first reading, the driver became really upset and threatened to kill them. He said, now I'm going to kill you.

The irritated beekeeper allegedly shouted at the traffic cops and before they could even react, he went to the back of his van and unleashed a swarm of honeybees that immediately started attacking the policemen. So they were attack bees. The two policemen were stung several times and had to flee the scene to take refuge in a nearby restaurant. When the beekeeper casually got in his car and drove off, after the beekeeper was

After calling for reinforcement, the policemen were able to leave the restaurant and track down the elderly beekeeper. Bee!

Bees! Bees in the car! Bees everywhere! The unnamed man was arrested but released on bail just hours later after giving a statement. Meanwhile, the two policemen were taken to the emergency room and administered cortisol to mitigate the effects of the bee stings. Wow, so they got a lot of stings. Yeah, sources said that the offender was judicially acquitted of the crime of assault, by the way. How? I don't know. Were the bees taken into custody? They probably were witnesses. Bees!

Alright, this story is out of Ireland. It is a horrible story. The remains of nearly 800 infants and children are expected to be found inside a hidden septic tank at a home for unwed mothers. Long-awaited excavation work began Monday at the site of a former home for unmarried women and their babies in Tom, Ireland, which was operated by Catholic nuns.

Irish officials believe 798 children died at Bon Secours' mother and baby home. The home, which closed its doors in 1961, was one of many church-run institutions in Ireland that housed tens of thousands of orphans and unmarried pregnant women who were forced to surrender their children throughout much of the 20th century. Historian Catherine Corliss...

That can't be. Oh, man.

The primary cause of death included respiratory infections and gastroenteritis, also known as the stomach flu. Daniel McSweeney, who's leading the exhumation of the children, said the excavation process is unique and incredibly complex. It is expected to take two years to complete. The Irish government formally apologized in 2021 after an inquiry found an appalling level of infant mortality at the homes with an investigation determining that nearly 9,000 children had died in the institutions.

Come on. Come on.

which were infamous institutions for fallen women that were typically operated by the Catholic Church. Fallen women was a term mostly applied to sex workers, although the laundries would also take in victims of incest, rape, female orphans, and children that were abandoned or abused by their families. Wow.

That's pretty messed up, right? Massively depressing. Yep. So we need something lighter than that. Yes. An aggressive catfish measuring six feet long and 50 pounds injured at least five swimmers at Lake Brumbach in the southern German state of Bavaria. Police said an officer eventually shot the huge fish with a service weapon.

The incidents occurred late Friday afternoon near a floating island where the giant fish had been lingering and repeatedly attacking people in the water. Catfish can be pretty aggressive sometimes. Paramedics from the Red Cross treated the bite wounds on swimmers at the scene. As the fish showed no signs of moving away and continued to pose a threat, the local water rescue service called in the police.

Officers cordoned off the swimming area to prevent further incidents. With the fish considered a danger to swimmers, emergency services decided to kill the animal. Two anglers later retrieved the catfish by boat. See, the problem was the issue was they had a lot of mice fish. And then they brought in the catfish and then they figured, okay, now we need to bring in the dogfish. Catfish of this size are not uncommon in Germany and have occasionally caused harm. More than 20 years ago, a giant catfish named Kuno the Killer...

Gained international media after reports that it swallowed a small dog in a German lake near the Polish border. So a couple years ago when we took this river cruise of the Danube, they had a museum and an aquarium. The sturgeon, before they put in the series of dams along the Danube,

would grow to be the size of sharks. I mean, huge. When a large dead catfish was discovered in a pond in 2003, it was believed to be Kuno the killer. Kuno the killer. The fish was later stuffed and put on display in a museum. Isn't that a Neil Young song? Oh, that's Cortez the killer. I'm sorry. All right, and then this, I'm sorry to end on a disturbing one, but it's what the weekend yielded from the Bizarre File stories. You get what you get.

Uh, the rotting body of a retired Connecticut detective was found buried in deplorable conditions inside her hoarder home more than eight months after she was last seen alive. Mary, uh, no Torangelo, uh,

was 73 years old and had to be removed from her home with an excavator. The police chief, Marshall Porter, said that they weren't equipped to handle what they found when they tried to search the property. He said, I've never seen such deplorable conditions. Hoarders usually have paths, but this was just like a piled floor property.

almost piled floor to almost ceiling. You literally would have had to climb over stuff. Yeah, they do. They're like canyons of passageways. Like he said, they didn't even have that. They didn't even have that.

Dead birds were found in cages along with mice running around the house and a live cat along with a terrible stench. A cadaver dog, a drone, a specialist state environmental agency and biohazard waste collection workers were all called in. The drone was disabled after cobwebs entangled themselves around its blades.

Natarangelo was last seen alive over a year ago. She was reported missing. She was seen in June, and she was reported missing July 3rd by a man who occasionally helped her with tasks around the house. Now, officers couldn't physically enter the home because the items piled up and also searched nearby woods surrounding her home, but cops doubted she had gotten far since she used a walker. Although police...

Didn't see any evidence that she was alive. They were concerned about cleaning the entire house, an estimated cost of $100,000, only for her to return from an extended trip. But as the months dragged on, Porter decided they had no choice. Cops made several attempts to search the home, but it wasn't until the biohazard company's second attempt in February this year, using an excavator, that her skeletal remains were found under a pile of debris just inside her front door. That's horrific.

They were prepared with equipment and dumpsters to excavate the entire house, Porter said, but the remains were found shortly after they began working. The cause and manner of death is undetermined at this point. She had few relatives. They were rarely in touch with her. She was a retired police detective and retired on disability after an on-duty crash injured her back and legs.

Geez. Wow. That's horrible. Those are two horrifying stories. Yeah, yeah. Believe it or not, I got more of them. I'll save some for tomorrow for you. How about that? Breakfast time. That's what we have in the bizarre file for you. Let's lighten the load a little bit and give away our last four-pack, family four-pack of Hershey Park tickets. I want Hershey.

Sensori called the outfit surprisingly comfortable and incredibly effective at attracting bears. Yeah.

Margaret Cho telling the Kelly Mantle show that Ellen DeGeneres has been mean and weird to her throughout her entire career. She says it was mostly in subtle ways, except for one time when she forced Cho to eat diarrhea at gunpoint. Whoa! Yeah, that seems pretty brutal. And finally, Hailey Bieber...

Raising eyebrows after being photographed without her wedding ring, Haley had a simple explanation saying the ring accidentally fell down the shower drain as she was removing her Hulk hands. All right, let's see if we can get a winner. What is the name of the dog that Casey doesn't have yet? And we are going to go with Megan to see if we can get that answer. Hi, Megan. Good morning.

Not a... Yeah. Brought to you this morning by Sequoia Outback. Celebrate freedom from your aging deck and get serious savings during Sequoia's 4th of July sale. Rue 309 in Hadfield and online at decksupplies.com. We're going to start with a concert announcement. Oh, boy. Yeah. Just rattle this right off. And this is going to be part of our Word of the Week prize. So this is really cool. There are two area shows this band will be playing. One in Atlantic City and one in Philadelphia. Yeah.

Friday, October 24th at Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. And then Saturday, the next day, October 25th at The Met. It's Cage the Elephant. Yeah!

They're a great band. They are a great band. So, Emmett Maher is excited to rock this show with you at both of those locations. And tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. And here's a couple different ways you can get those. You can visit TheOceanAC.com for tickets and info. And, of course, you're going to have a chance to win as part of the Wear the Weak Prizes Week. It comes with an overnight stay and $150 credit for some food. But also...

Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. on Friday is when they were going. And Jackie Bam Bam each night will have a chance for you to win tickets to the show at the Met. So make sure that you listen in. So let me give you those dates and locations once again.

Friday, October 24th at Ovation Hall and Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. And Saturday, October 25th at The Met in Philadelphia. And tickets for The Met show, actually, I would imagine you can get them all through Ticketmaster. But Jackie's going to have your chance to win the tickets.

listening to them this week, the show at the Met. And then, of course, they go until 10 a.m. on Friday through Ticketmaster. So just wanted to pass that information along. I think they're an innovative band with a retro feel to them. They got a cool sound that is clearly their own for sure. Like I said, that's part of the word of the week prize. So we'll get to those details coming up in a little bit. A couple other things I want to mention. Queens of the Stone Age.

Announced a special tour called the Catacombs Tour for this fall. And the band will play unique shows at historic theaters across North America starting October 2nd in Chicago and ending November 21st in New Orleans. They'll be at the Met as well. Great, great place, great venue. And this will be on October 7th. And tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

The tour was inspired by their recent project called Alive in the Catacombs, which featured new arrangements of their songs. And for these theater shows, the band will create reimagined versions of their music with special ensembles.

And I love that they're doing this. This is cool. I think when bands request this of the audience. So they are encouraging fans to dress up for these special theater shows saying, quote, people should look as good as the music is going to sound. So that could be kind of fun.

Has any band ever actually recorded an album in any one of the catacombs, the famous catacombs? That's a good question. You would think so. Acoustically, right? Yeah, it would depend on whether or not they get permission to do that. But yeah, that's a good question. Or just go down into the sewers. Yeah. All right. And then one other story and then that is it. For the first time in nearly 20 years, alt-rock fans will have new Lemonheads album to look forward to. Yeah. I was kind of blown away by that too. 20 years. 20 years.

It was announced yesterday that the first album of all new music from the band since 2006 will be coming out this fall. Man, Evan Dando was like a massive heartthrob in the alt world. Along with that, the band will hit the road for a new world tour in August, which will make its way stateside in November. The album Love a Chant comes out October 24th. And you can go to the website for tour information. The closest I saw them coming out, they're playing in Lividt's.

And they're just doing like clubs. They're not like, you know, selling out big venues or anything like that. There is a connection and I forget exactly the specifics of it, but there was a Goldberg's episode that focused in on Evan Dando. He was part of the episode. So apparently Evan Dando has some connection to Jenkintown. Okay. Yeah, so I don't know the rest of the story, but yeah, he's from this area, I believe. Hmm.

I thought he was. Okay. You could be right. There's something that ties him to the area. Or maybe he just liked to show the Goldbergs. Maybe he stopped by WDRE one time because we were in Jenkinsville. I wanted to go back to the Queens of the Stone Age thing if you're done with that, Preston. Yeah. So Stevie asked about recording in the Paris catacombs and Queens did that. So they did it back in July of 2024 and then they released it and it was called Alive in the Catacombs.

That was released this month. So, you know, in reference to what Preston was talking about in conjunction with the concert, the last big performance in the catacombs was in 1897 by a classical orchestra. And so not much. That's a big span. Yeah. In April of, I'm sorry, April of 1897, nearly 50 amateur musicians descended into the catacombs to play a complete concert.

with Don's Macabre and several other classical pieces. And then so Queens of the Stone Age followed that up 125 years later. Interesting. All right. Thanks for the factoid, Nick. Appreciate it. All right. And that's it in music news. We're going to take a break. We're going to get back in a moment and we're going to get the letter of the day for the word of the week prize. Then we turn it over to Pierre. Stay right there. I'll be back in a moment.

Hey, cutie. Put us in your phone right now. And yeah, call or text sometime. 610-660-9333. Did you get that? 610-660-9333. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Hooters! 93.3 WMMR. Everything rocks and we dance. Yes, we did.

1039 on this Tuesday morning with the Preston and Steve show. Blazing hot. We're into the 90s. Feels like the 100s. Going on up. Topping out officially on the temperature gauge. Around 100, 101 there. Calling for triple digits today. And that's going to make it feel with the humidity like crazy.

Over 107, 110 degrees in that rain. So nothing to trifle with, by the way. What is a trifle, anyway? A trifle, I believe, can be a dessert. But to trifle is to be flippant. Yeah, I understand that. But I'm wondering why the dessert got there. Which came first? Yeah, that's a good question. Because a trifle is quite delightful. Yeah, a delightful trifle. A delightful trifle.

But trifling, that is a completely different connotation. I didn't even think about it until it left my mouth just now.

But anyhow, thank you for joining us on the program today. We're going to have somebody jump in here and start to cool things off a little for you. Mr. Pierre Robert is going to set the tone and the mood and make things a little bit more comfortable for you if he can. That's what he does. He's supposedly sporting his new crew cut today, Prescott. Oh, well, I'm excited. Well, today is Tattoo's Day, so we've got to give away that prize. Let's do that right now. Tattoo, tattoo. I would like to congratulate Mr. Joe...

Buckhard. Yeah, Buckhard. That's a great name. Of Marlton, New Jersey. Isn't that a great name? That's a good porn name. Dude, Buckhard. So, Joe, congratulations. You will get to head to Floating World Tattoo and Piercing at 1729 South Street in Philadelphia and present them with your $350 gift certificate and say, I want this type of Preston and Steve tattoo. Now! So, congratulations to you, Buckhard.

And we are happy to have you in the collective. Hi, Pierre. How are you doing, man? Hello, hello. Nice to see you. The...

Recording in interesting places could be a whole topic, but Paul Horn, legendary jazz musician, a later New Age musician, has passed away a couple of years back, but my family knew him. He used to stay with us at our place at Lake Tahoe, and he recorded inside the Taj Mahal. Oh, wow. Yeah, I believe the only one that's ever done it. And then he did another album inside the Great Pyramid.

That's pretty cool. Yeah. And catacombs, pyramids, Taj Mahal. Pyramids, Taj Mahal. So there you go. That's amazing. Yeah. Interesting. It's a lovely day outside. Isn't it lovely? Bundle up if you're going out. You look bundled up. You're in a long-sleeved shirt. It's cold out there. Yeah. On the way in, you swam the English Channel, it looks like. I did, yeah. I mean, it's not easy. Yeah. Well, you're going to help keep the gang. You have chains for the car. Yeah.

What's that? Chains for the car, for the snow. I mean, the snow is about almost half foot thick. Change for the car. Chains. I got you. Does anyone use chains anymore? Not around here. Does anybody know what time it is? In the Sierra Mountains, yes. Where you spend time in Lake Tahoe, they definitely do that. For sure.

You want to do the letter today? Yeah, I think so. Okay, we only need four this week, so here we go. Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. All right, the Preston and Steve show is brought to you today by the letter.

Sea is uncomfortable. All right, sea is uncomfortable. And we are going to give away an overnight stay and a 150 dining credit at Ocean Casino Resort and a pair of tickets as MMR rocks, as we said earlier, Cage the Elephant. Yeah. Friday, October 24th at Ovation Hall in the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

And tickets for Gage the Elephant are going to go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via TheOceanAC.com. So only three more letters to collect. So what are you going to do today, man? Lots of fun. First of all, I want to remind folks we had a nice conversation with Sammy Hagar.

We have a pair of tickets for the Counting Crows coming to the Hard Rock on July 5th, which will be cool. Workforce blocks that contain Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty and Jeff Beck, who would be 81 today, where he's still with us. Wow, it's going to be an interesting mix today. I like that.
