Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show. Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. Housekeeping. No, thank you. Sleep.
I'll skip it. You come back in an hour. I'll skip it. You want towels? I don't need sleepy. You want me for pillow? Please go away. Let me sleep for the Lord.
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. Wait, you're the most annoying sound in the world? Nick McElwain. That last one goes out to Nick. And Marissa Magnata. Care to join me for a glass of breakfast wine? And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR.
Hey! Hey!
Time to get started once again. Good day, friend. Happy to see you here again on this particular frequency, 93.3. Let's get to the nitty gritty. That's the heat, friends. The weather for today, getting close to 100 once again. And we have partly cloudy skies, maybe a scattered thunderstorm later in the afternoon. Moving into tomorrow, we have some relief, partly cloudy, high of 83 degrees, and
And then showers expected on Friday with a high of 72. After that, off and on rain into the weekend. And we'll bounce back up to 90 by the time we get to Sunday. And now, Kristen and Steve's news update. All right, today is Wednesday, June 25th. Good morning. So power is still out for about 1,000 of Pico customers in the Philadelphia area after heavy winds.
During last week's storm down power lines. And that means households are sweating through dangerous heat without air conditioning or fans. Temperatures were over 100 degrees yesterday and they will approach 100 again today. And high humidity will make the heat even more dangerous. Nighttime lows forecast to stay above 80 degrees tonight. That's horrible. Offers very little relief for households without air conditioning. The other person, they were shown a street in Bucks somewhere and...
It looked like you couldn't find a standing tree on the street. And the power line, it was just a rat's nest of horror. Many outages resulted from damaged trees that fell days after last week's storm. And on Friday, over 300,000 customers were without power. And this week's heat wave is expected to push electricity demand to the highest levels in over a decade.
Five years. PECO plans to invest over $9 billion in system maintenance and upgrades to ensure that it can meet increased demand, prevent power outages, and fix outages faster. With the first official 100-degree reading in 13 years yesterday, Philadelphia broke a 100-year-old record for a daily high temperature, and another one might fall today. Philly's high for the date yesterday beat the 99-degree reading of June 24, 1923.
Monday's I-99 was a record for that date, too. Because all this is going down at home, I've started filling up jugs with electricity just to hold on to some. It's smart, right? You've got to be safe, absolutely. Speaking of the heat, several firefighters were rushed to the hospital after battling a fire in extreme heat in Delaware County. Three of them suffered from heat exhaustion as they worked in the 100-degree temperatures.
The fire was at the 200 block of West Chelsea Circle in Newtown Square Tuesday afternoon, where fire badly damaged three townhomes and several others. For both the residents and those who were battling the fire, pallets of water were brought in, along with popsicles, cold towels, and an air-conditioned tent.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. We were talking yesterday about hottest jobs, Preston, and obviously we've been near fires. You're a firefighter. Imagine you're a firefighter fighting a blaze in a heat wave. Yeah, that's just about as bad as it can get, most definitely. All right, and sad news. Max Tavern, the old city bar and restaurant known for its ties to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney and Caitlin Olsen,
and one Mr. Preston Elliott is closing after a 15-year run on Market Street. On an Instagram post, the bar, which is part owned by the comedy couple, thanked supporters but did not give a reason for the closure. In the post, the owners wrote, when we opened the bar, our hope was to create a welcoming, down-to-earth place where people could gather, share stories, laugh a little too loudly, and enjoy a drink or two among friends.
What we got was so much more vibrant, loyal, and loving community that made Max Tavern feel like home. So let me ask you about this. There have been reports that a new sign is being hoisted that says Presbos. Well, we're not going to reveal that as of yet. The statement continues saying, and not just us and the staff, but to everyone who walked through its doors. Max developed a national reputation as a tourism hotspot in Old City because of its connection to the sitcom. And of course, Patty's Pub set in South Philly.
The relationship between the two bars even appeared as a question on Jeopardy last year. Since 2022, Max has been a destination for soccer fans as well to watch Wrexham AFC. Of course, the Welsh soccer club McElhenney co-owns with Ryan Reynolds.
Also, Max hosted promotional events for Four Walls Whiskey, which of course is the booze that McElhenney launched with Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day. The Max Tavern storefront at 226 Market Street is a history of several bars, including Anthony's Old City Pub and Skinner's Tavern in the years before Max had opened. So, so long to that. It was fun. In sports this morning.
Ballsacks are yelping. Ballsacks are yelping. What the f*** is that? Alright, Nick, what's up this morning? The Phillies lost to the Astros.
What the f*** is that?
What the f*** is this?
Whit Merrifield is retiring after a nine-year career that included twice leading the Major League Baseball in hits and three trips to the All-Star Games. The 36-year-old posted on social media that the birth of his daughter last year played a role in the decision. Merrifield's career began in Kansas City, and he was granted free agency after finishing last season in Atlanta, but he didn't play at all this season. In the post, Merrifield wrote, At this point in my life, I'd much rather be chasing around a toddler than chasing sliders.
He had 192 hits for the Royals in 2018 and then led the majors again a year later with 206. Merrifield was a guest at our spring training broadcast last year, and he wrote a small note to the Phillies fans saying, Philly, I liked you way more than you liked me. Sorry I stunk for you. The Union are in Illinois tonight. They're going to take on Chicago Fire FC. The Union are still in first place in the Eastern Conference at 11-4-3, and the match at Soldier Field will begin at 8.30. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs.
And that's what I have for you in sports this morning. All right, thank you very much, Nick. And we welcome you, friend, to a Wednesday morning midweek point. And we're right on the cusp. We're dangling on the edge of a live broadcast tomorrow morning. We will be coming to you live from the sweetest place on earth. We will be in Hershey, Pennsylvania at Hershey Park.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Thank you, Marissa. Let's give some away. We have a $50 Keystone Fireworks gift card to give away. And all you have to do is answer this question correctly. In Greek mythology, whose father created the labyrinth? Whose father created the labyrinth? Yeah, 610-660-9333 is the number. In Greek mythology, whose father...
created the labyrinth. Let's see if you know the answer to that. We'll go through some birthdays while we are awaiting your answer today being the 25th day of June. The very lovely Linda Cardellini. I love her. Yeah, and she's celebrating a big birthday today. She's the big 5-0.
Damn. Casey and Nick are right on the cusp of this celebration as well. I think that makes me like her even more. She's the same age. Yeah. Listen, she was supposed to be like the dowdy one back in the day. She looked too good to be dowdy. Yeah. That and then also like Scooby, they made her Thelma. Velma. Velma, sorry. Yeah.
God, she's so cute, though. She is adorable. And she's great in the Marvel stuff. I like her in almost anything I see her in. I'm like, okay, I'm on board when I see her. She was in Brokeback Mountain, too, wasn't she? I don't know. I didn't see it. Anne Hathaway was in it. I know that. Linda Cardellini turns 50 years old today. Busy Phillips.
Freaks and Geeks, Dawson's Creek. Yeah, they just had a big reunion for a charity thing for James Van Der Beek. Oh, yeah. And they're all there. Yeah. Yeah, he's got a cancer diagnosis. Yes. I love her so much. Really? She's a really fun follow on Instagram. She also does a late night show on QVC. Oh, no kidding. So it's kind of like a Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers interview show where she'll have friends on. Is that still on? Yeah.
Yeah, and then she'll preview some of the products that are happening around QVC and all. You got to get her on. It's an interview slash selling thing? I don't know as much as she's selling, but maybe she's featuring some of the new products that are around. I would imagine that would have to be part of the QVC thing if you're going to be on. Yeah, it would make sense. Yeah, I love her. She has great style and she just seems really fun. She is 46 years old today. It's Jimmy Walker's birthday. Here you go.
Good times, scratch it and survive.
Come on, people now. Good time.
Jimmy. What was the line? Was it hanging in a chow line? What did we get confused? That is what people thought it was. And in fact, somebody did a... I don't know if it was a Chappelle or somebody did a routine about it. It turns out that that is not what they're saying. Not hanging in a chow line. It is...
I forgot. It's okay. Something a little more light than that. It's like. Cy et alon con con. Cy et alon con con. Con con. Con con. So Nick is pulling up the. That's not the right good times. Oh, yeah, yeah. Good times. By the way, there's also another Jimmy Walker. Yeah, there is. Yeah. I found the other Jimmy Walker so we could do a deep dive on that guy too. All right.
Keep going with the others. All right. Okay. Thank you. The research has begun. So other birthdays to mention. Tim Finn of the band Crowded House and also Split Ends, which is what Casey's playing right now. Yeah, because we don't have Crowded House in our system. Can you believe that? Don't Dream It's Over. That's the big one, right? Don't Dream It's Over is one of my all-time favorite songs and a great video as well. Yeah. So Tim Finn turns 73 years old today. Is it Watching the Asphalt Grow? Nope.
Looking out the window, watching the asphalt grow, thinking about how the good looks hand me down, good times, good times. Blah, blah, blah.
Hang on a second. Hang on. Oh, it's hanging in and jiving. Hanging in and jiving. That's it. Yeah. Hanging in and jiving. Good times. All right. There we go. All right. Toto's David Pache is celebrating a birthday today. David turns 71 years old. Lead singer of the band. I know I probably should have played Africa, but I'm doing this one for you, buddy. Oh, okay.
It's one of the most interesting drum parts ever put together. That's why Casey's doing this for me. Jeff Mercaro, the drummer. But David Page, yeah, turns 71 years old today. All right. Also celebrating a birthday today is Carly Simon. She is, wow, Carly Simon is 82 years old today.
Wow. We have You're So Vain in the system, but we don't have Something So Strong? Yeah. Wow. It's a classic, for sure. Absolutely. And what is the final verdict? It's about Mick Jagger? No. Or Warren Beatty? That's what I had heard, so...
But it was a huge hit for her. What was... Anticipation was another hit for her. Yes, which was co-opted by, what, Heinz Ganschup? Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's right. In an ad campaign. That's correct. So happy 82nd birthday to Carly Simon. And then the final birthday I saw is Ricky Gervais. Oh. And he turned 64 years old. Hilarious. Yeah, I love that guy. Great stand-up. His sitcom work is terrific. His Golden Globes emceeing work is amazing. And I...
One of the sweetest things I've ever seen, and you guys have probably seen it come across in one of your feeds, where he's talking to these two girls, they're sisters, and the one has cancer. Right, yeah, yeah. And he's going through chemo, and the other girl shaved her head. It's so great, yeah. And he's interviewing her. Oh, my goodness. There's also a clip from his series where he's talking to his dad, who has dementia, one of his many series. It's one of the most touching stories.
interactions I've ever seen. It's a beautiful little clip. You can, you know, just put those parameters in and watch it. It'll make you cry. Yeah. The other thing that I was thinking of that's showed up in my feed recently is Ian McKellen teaching Ricky Gervais how to act. I think it was extras. I can't remember which one, but he's been, his,
First of all, it reminds me of you, Steve, because you're Ian McKellen is spot on, but he's just talking about how what we're doing here is pretending. I'm not actually a wizard. I don't have any wizard powers. As it goes on, as the bit goes longer and longer, Ricky Gervais is like,
Yeah, I get it. It's so damn hilarious. There's another one that's similar to that. If you get a chance, check him. He's talking to David Bowie in a club. Oh, yeah. Fat face and everything. Fat face. Fat man. You're a fat man with a fat face. It's great.
He's excellent. All right. We will go to the phone and see if somebody knows the answer to this. In Greek mythology, whose father created the labyrinth? And we will go to Timmy to see if we can get the answer to that. Hi, Timmy. You're on the air. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to see you, Timmy. So do you know in Greek mythology whose father created the labyrinth?
I think it's Icarus. Icarus, yes. Hold on, bud. Icky. Icky is correct. We are going to give you a $50 Keystone Firework gift card. Keystone Fireworks superstores are loaded with mortars, rockets, firecrackers, and the biggest and best backyard pyro. You can see their newest superstore at the Franklin Mills Mall. You can visit them online at keystonefireworks.com.
So the labyrinth is where the... What was his name?
Minotaur? Minotaur. Yeah, that's where the Minotaur lived. Right, right, right. You know, I love all of the Greek and Roman mythology. But I sometimes blend them. Totally. It's hard to keep track of who's got who. Yep, I agree. All right, so Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting hitched soon. And they've got... Jeffrey, Jeffrey Bezos.
And they've got a ton of A-listers flying into Venice to celebrate the big day with them. Carrot top. But what do you get as a wedding gift for one of the richest couples in the world? The couple has taken the guesswork out of it, asking their friends to make donations to the city of Venice.
Instead of giving them a wedding gift, Sebastiano Castellonga, who is the local city councilor for the municipality of Venice, said, We are definitely happy to have this funding for the protection of our very delicate city. The couple is also reportedly sourcing 80% of goods like pastries and glassware for the wedding from Venetian vendors to show their appreciation.
Of course, there's been a lot of controversy over him and taking over the city for the most part or chunks of it. There's been a lot of protests and so on about this taking place. So they're trying to ease that a little bit. To make them less despised because they took what is the Venice Hotel, which is considered one of the absolute best.
best hotels in Europe and they bought it all out and people had like a hard out like guests who are at the hotel have to be out by a certain time I mean every room is them hey I don't know if we knew this or not but Jeffrey Bezos' middle name is Preston I did not know that either until just now wow you might be owed some money maybe I'm hoping so
Did you see the foam party that they had? Oh, my God. He and his crew had a foam party on their yacht, right? Their, what, $50 million yacht? Yeah. It's actually a sailboat. Sail ship. So Castellonga, the city councilor, says that most people are actually fine with the wedding, and he knows that Venice...
hosts many big events like its annual film festival. We don't care. It's fine. We're very accommodating. Hey, we just had a Casey boy here in Italy.
Barely. Speaking of all that, Orlando Bloom is ready to party at the wedding, but everything is supposedly not all roses. TMZ reports that Bloom is showing up solo and suggests that his single guy debut at the biggest wedding. This is his single guy debut at the biggest wedding of the year. The source said he's the life of the party and he's going to hit the dance floor hard. Orlando Bloom.
And another source added that he might even team up with Leonardo DiCaprio for some bar hopping. Oh, wow, man. Now, while Katy Perry's absence is due to her tour in Australia, TMZ sources suggest the billionaire's nuptials will highlight Orlando and Katy's supposed rough patch. There have been...
rumors. All is not right. The breakup buzz has only gotten louder with insiders saying Katie's album 143 flopping. Or is it 143? I don't know. Who cares? Step off, bitch. By the way, that's my mood today. Just to let you know. Is there something you want to talk about? I don't have time, Gandalf. All right.
You know what? You're the best DJ in the world. And I love you so much. I just wanted you to know that. Thank you, Gandalf. I love you, too.
So... After the album had flopped, it's been a source of tension in their relationship. But just last month, the California Girl singer teased a fan for DMing her man in the viral moment, staking her claim before launching into her song, I'm His, He's Mine. Oh, girl, I saw it. I saw the video, and she put it down. She dropped it like it was hot. I like her music, don't get me wrong, but man, is it just...
it's formulaic. Like, every single song is like, let's do the thing and we're gonna do the thing and we're gonna do, yeah, and then we're here! Sounds god awful. Yeah. Rick Beto, who we all, I think, follow on YouTube and Preston, you know, he's,
that musician, I think Nick, you do as well. Great musician, great interviewer. He actually took the Sabrina Carpenter thing. He didn't go on kind of a rant, but he broke down the state of modern music and that really there are about four or five songwriters that the big music companies employ like Jack Arnoff or what is the guy? Jack Arnoff, yeah. Right. From the
formerly for the band Fun. Yeah. And these are the people that write the songs and the artists basically say, okay, I like that one, I like that one, and we're going to change Boogie to Freak Out or whatever. Right. And then they get a writing credit and it's this conveyor belt.
If people like the music, that's fine. But he says it is as factory conveyor belt-ish as it's ever been. Yeah. Ages and ages ago when I was in my band, I was still in high school, but we wanted to record and we had this guy who was helping us out. And you can through ASCAP...
You can go on through and you can find all these songs that songwriters have written that they're looking for artists to play. Many times you'll find that a hit that becomes something for, say, Sabrina Carpenter was passed on by Taylor Swift. Absolutely. Taylor Swift is a songwriter. But the Sabrina Carpenter, her latest song is...
It sounds like she was like, um, chaperones like really strong right now. And I need to do a song that sounds like a chaperone song. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's the way it works. Yep. All right. Well, moving on to some other things. And here's one you just don't get tired of. Justin Baldoni's legal battle with Blake Lively. It did take a messy turn after promising to refile four claims against Lively. Baldoni's lawyer.
Missed the deadline. What? But promises they'll be pursuing additional legal options. That's why you got to go with the guy with the cowboy hat. Brian Friedman told TMZ they're moving forward with discovery, which means information that they've gathered, and are confident, and I quote, confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations. These allegations are scurred. I will not stand for them, impugning the integrity of my client.
Wouldn't that be great having Gandalf as your lawyer? Wouldn't it be great, though, if the next trend in lawyers is that they're wearing a wizard's hat instead of a cowboy hat? Any time, day or night, give me a call. Whether it be a traffic accident or business related, we're there for you. Gandalf, are you licensed in my state? I am not. Okay. Sorry, Tennessee. Gandalf and Gandalf. Gandalf, Gandalf and Frodo.
That's the firm. I love it. Gandalf, Gandalf and Frodo. All right. So anyhow, he's very nice. Ring. Oh, I can joke. Come on. Who's bad? There it is. You ain't bad. You ain't nothing. You ain't nothing.
So anyhow, this comes weeks after a judge dismissed Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Lively and Brown Rounds in the New York Times. Freeman maintained in a statement, quote, the court's, I'm sorry. Freeman? Freeman. Oh, okay. Okay. Maintained in a statement, the court's decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth, and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively's claims.
They are set to meet in court in March of next year, by the way. Oh, my God. I know. More courtroom news. Dermot Mulroney has filed for divorce from his wife of 15 years, Prima Epilinaria.
According to court documents, the actor signed a petition to dissolve his 15-year marriage on Saturday, citing irreconcilable differences and listed the date of separation as TBD. Preston, he's being represented by Dylan McDermott. By Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney. I mean, we always get those guys. I know, but it's so odd that he would hire him as his lawyer. Does he wear a wizard's cap? I'm totally lost. Which one is the plaintiff? Uh.
Moroni has asked that attorneys fees be split between them, that they share joint physical and legal custody of the two teenage daughters, and has also asked for termination of the court's ability to award Epil and Nair spousal support, but he did request spousal support for himself. He's requesting spousal support.
I don't know what she does. As contentious as that may sound, a source close to the couple insists it's anything but. They said they used mediators, not lawyers, and they are friends, and this is amicable. They were advised to file this way. Do you ever see the billboards for people for mediation services? And the pitch basically is bypass the lawyers. I have not, no. Yeah, I see them occasionally. Okay. There are these company services, and basically they're saying avoid the acrimony of a divorce if you guys know what you're going to be doing.
We can just handle all that. So there's Dermot Mulroney, Dean McDermott, who was married to Tori Spelling, and Dylan McDermott, the actor from The Practice. I get all three of those confused all the time. Well, how about this one? Sammy Sheen, the only fan star daughter of Charlie Sheen, and Denise Richards. Gandalf, can you help me? Yes, I understand you're practicing law now. That's right. Is this about your little daughter?
I'm a fan. Oh my God. This is not going to work out well. Well, anyhow, she is less than two years down the road from undergoing breast augmentation, but she's already talking about reversing the procedure. Oh. On her Instagram story, she explained why she said, I've been experiencing health issues for nearly two years now with the weirdest symptoms and finally discovered that I have breast implant illness. I'm a fan.
I don't know how. I haven't figured this out sooner, but I'm so happy I finally have an answer. I'm hoping to get them removed ASAP so that I can start feeling better. You remember we spoke to Dorothy about that, the musician, and she talked about having the exact same thing. Some people's bodies... Yeah.
don't accept them and they actually get physically ill because of them. In a separate post, Sheen shared an older photo of herself before she got her breast augmentation. Charlie Sheen. Yeah, I'm wondering what Charlie thinks about it. I do like big jobs. That's your daughter! I'm kind of split here. My daughter, sorry, really shouldn't care, but I do love some heavy honking honk.
Let me get back to you on this one. Okay, we'll come back. We'll come back to you. I shouldn't, as a father, be looking that way, but I love those big old milkers. We'll check in a couple days. She's got tickle bitties now. Yeah, tickle bitties.
Yeah, I think he made a note he's not a fan of the OnlyFans. Okay. Isn't that wild? He's not a fan of her. I know. That life. And he's taking a stand. All right, Kelly Wolfe, the estranged wife of Scott Wolfe, who was detained after a family fight that led to her saying some concerning things to law enforcement, has updated her followers in a rather disjointed Instagram post. So this is what it said.
She was describing something. She said, I just called all three kids to let them know that I pitched a show that I've been dreaming about for over a decade. And she described it as if Curb Your Enthusiasm had a baby with Designing Women and sent that baby backpacking through Europe with Anthony Bourdain while journaling its weird words.
Wild, funny life as a traveling writer, ex-reality TV weirdo mom, and full-blown eccentric who somehow still manages to hold down to business and help clients not lose their minds. How does that not sell?
She also confirmed what many had presumed, that she had been involuntarily hospitalized, describing herself as, quote, just a woman who survived an involuntary 5150 with her humor intact and her hair still kind of cute. So for his part, Scott Wolf has yet to comment on the entire debacle. I feel bad for her because from what I'm hearing peripherally, she's going through some stuff. Mm-hmm.
And it has sort of a Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes-ish. I don't know. I mean, all we're getting is what we're getting through the press. Right. Yeah, she could be having a mental breakdown. We're not really sure. Helen Mirren is following in the footsteps of stars like Brad Pitt, who have been used and misrepresented as part of a scam. The actor posted a warning to fans on her Instagram saying, Scam alert, person unknown, misrepresented.
persons unknown have used my name to front a false charity, which is sending out messages from me offering a large sum of money and asking you to respond to. And she lists an email address and she said, excuse me, this is not me. And it is not my email address. Please beware and do not respond. This is a scam. She's the latest in a long line of celebs who have had their names co-opted by scammers in hopes of suckering people out of some money. Now it's gotten much worse because you have, they'll create,
AI videos. Yep, exactly. Yeah, I've seen a couple lately. We saw the one with Owen Wilson. Yeah. A woman firmly believed, and there was an AI video of him. And if you aren't privy to the little hiccups and telltale signs to look for in AI, you would buy it. Preston, I saw one with Kevin Costner at a podium appearing to address some sort of anti-inflammatory or something like that. Yeah. And it's...
Now, I could pick out the uncanny valley thing. My radar is up. I can look for it. But the average person might go, oh. Well, yes, and also it depends on how tight the shot is on the person. If they're at a distance, they're in front of a podium far away, you may 100% fall for it because you might not see those little technical –
It's a friggin' nightmare. I'm sure. You know, right? I know, man. All right, this was sad to see. Bobby Sherman, the former teen idol best known for his 60s and 70s hits and TV roles, has passed away at age 81. He had previously been diagnosed with cancer. His wife, Bridget Poblan, confirmed his passing in a heartfelt statement writing, Bobby left this world holding my hand with love, courage, and unwavering grace. We should have some audio of some music over here, Case. Yeah.
We have Little Woman that we'll play a little bit. That was one of his hits. Little Woman and Julie, Do You Love Me were two of his big ones. My wife came to me yesterday because she, for many you don't realize, he was the cover of Tiger Beat and Seventeen for years. He was a massive heartthrob. He had a big smile and everything. Hey, little woman, please make up your mind. You've got to come into my world and leave your mind.
Come on. Typical, you know, 60s bubblegum type of music. Bring it on home. Yeah. But he became a TV favorite through Here Come the Brides. I love that show. Also appearances in shows like The Partridge Family, The Love Boat. Yeah.
Frazier as well. So he worked a little bit later on in his life. And towards the, well, towards the end, he became a, like a, a deputy, like he, and he was an EMT and he started to really get involved with the community and he was doing some great stuff. But I always liked him. He played a, he was the first person I remember on TV who was a character that had a stutter. His character on Here Come the Brides. No kidding. Yeah. Okay. Well,
Well, it's sad news, but he had a nice long life and a good career. All right, so listen to this. A vest worn by Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller. Just sold for $279,400 after it was auctioned off at Sotheby's New York. Oh, that famous vest. The vest worn by Ferris as he played hooky and frolic through some of Chicago's most iconic spots, including Wrigley Field and the Art Institute, was put up for auction on June 5th.
Broderick wore the camel and chocolate brown vest throughout the entire film. It was expected to garner bids ranging from $300,000 to $600,000 and ended up attracting 11 bids. So it actually went for less than they had anticipated it for.
but that's still a chunky price. Costume designer, Marilyn Vance chose the best carefully wanting to convey Ferris's uniqueness, popularity among his peers and willingness to rebel against grownups through his wardrobe. Choosing to put him in a vest was one of Vance's first decisions when creating the film. Uh,
Sotheby's said in the release, the only real expression of color in Bueller's entire wardrobe, Vance's sweater vest immediately became a character signature piece and emblematic of his most exciting quality. The ability to blend in anywhere while standing out just enough to get exactly what you want from the world around you. So she had actually, it was a sweater to begin with. She ripped the sleeves off of it.
It's an iconic look. Yeah, she verified that it was authentic before the auction. Do you guys ever hear the theory that it was Ferris' Groundhog Day? Yes. That he was able to perfect the day and he'd been working on it for a really long time. I hadn't heard that. I saw that recently and I really thought, I don't think that is true. I don't think John Hughes intended that at all. But it's a fun theory to explore. There are a number of theories surrounding that where all of that whole thing is taking place in the mind of, I'm sorry, I'm going to brain fart. The other character is Buddy.
Oh, Cameron? Cameron. Everything happening is Cameron. Okay. That it's all within Cameron's mind. That he's either dreaming it or just thinking about it? Yeah. Okay. The thing that debunks that is that there was like a four-hour movie that existed in John Hughes' mind and then they edited it down and like Ferris had two other siblings that were filmed and never showed up in the final...
Charlie Sheen, actually. By the way, my self-love sock is up for $1,000. His dad was the tow truck driver that ended up towing the principal's car at the end of the movie. There's all these backstories that get shot and filmed and they never made it to the final edit. I think there was a little more on the valets. If you watch it closely on the refrigerator at Ferris' house, you can see his siblings that were filmed but never showed up in the movie.
Okay. There's sort of a sub-story with the ballets, a little segment where they're going off and they follow them. Yep, exactly. So anyhow, the vest has been sold. I was in it too, Preston. Yeah.
I wanted to mention this. Tonight at 9 p.m., Wilson's Secret Sauce will be featured on a new episode of Gordon Ramsay's Secret Sauce. Owner Steve Wilson wrote on social media yesterday, I've never asked anyone for help because I don't know how to ask, but Gordon Ramsay popped up for a week back in March to sit me down and offer his advice. Why me? Why us? In the end, you'll see why and how he helped. Tune in to Fox anywhere in the country, he said.
And go birds. So I've been watching the... I talked to Steve. We all did, I think, at the barbecue about his concerns about how this show would go. But I've been watching the show in anticipation of this episode. He goes in. It's the standard dynamic. Someone in the place is like holding them back. And if they only see the light and they do and everyone's happy. And it's the same thing carried out over and over again. But...
Gramsci does make suggestions that help the business. So Steve's concern was how he'd be portrayed or depicted. And I'm like, man, everyone knows. Everyone loves your plays. And everyone knows how unbelievably generous you guys are. He's just worried because the show that was pitched to them had a different name. It was a different name and they thought it was sort of a bait and switch. Yeah, but I think Steve is optimistic about how everything's going to go. Good, good. Yeah.
Yeah, and by the way, if you're on shows like this, you don't get to see it ahead of time. No. You see it when it rolls out. That's it, yeah. So Steve's going to be watching this tonight. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Sauce is a new reality show featuring the famed chef going undercover to discover what's really happening at restaurants across the country. It's filled with twists and turns, including a final reveal of which a member of the staff invited Chef Ramsay to reboot the restaurant. And the one thing that cracks me up, though, Preston, in these episodes...
Is that they go in and they had this array of cameras that are, like, no one in the restaurant goes, what the hell is that? Yeah. You know, it's because Ramsey sits, like, in a control booth or whatever, like a vehicle, off-premises, and is looking at all the different cameras and kind of spying on everything that's going on. But, like, if you were to walk in here and there were suddenly cameras in the corners of the room, wouldn't you say, what's that about? Mm-hmm.
But no one seems to bring that up. So Steve Wilson just completed the ACS Bike-a-thon with Team WMMR, collecting donations for a ride in the families behind the badge. Children's Foundation, Ben Tashore with Team WMMR Rock and Rollers as well. He's the best. He's a worldly known good guy is what he is for sure.
All right, let me see. I got time for one more thing. We'll go with this one. ESPN has announced that Shane Gillis will be hosting this year's ESPY Awards. Oh, that's a good choice. The event that celebrates the biggest and best and brightest in the world of sport will air live from Los Angeles' Dolby Theater next month.
In a statement that's more of an understatement, Gillis said, I'm excited to be at the ESPYs this year. I like sports, so this should be a good time. The ESPYs will broadcast live July 16th, and that is on ABC. I always had a question with that event because it's like, isn't...
On the award that you've gotten, isn't it already winning the various games? Yeah. They have championships. They also have MVPs. Yeah. They have offensive and defensive players of the year. They have rookies of the year in every single sport. Doesn't this seem the most redundant of all the award shows? I guess so. Yeah. Um...
But what it does is it pits other sports against each other, right? Right. Okay. Also, we need more competition in the sports world and to glorify these guys a little bit more. Oh, there might be money involved in this somewhere. A little bit. I don't watch this and I don't really care, but I also don't hate it either. You know what I mean? I'm like...
It is what it is. It did start airing the one time where there was not a live sport event in North America, which was the day either before or after the All-Star Game. So they picked a time that was a, you know, there's no other professional sports happening. So they picked a night which made sense. I don't think that they even do that anymore. I think there's probably something going on. So it was something to watch on TV when there was nothing else to watch on TV sports related. Yeah, I think it always happens the day after the All-Star Game.
Is that the plan? That's the day that it airs, yeah. So that everyone or most people are available. Yeah, it also puts women's sports against men's sports and little lesser known sports against the big four. So it's cool for that. Maybe this is Frisbee football's year. Ultimate. Yeah, and the
the philadelphia phoenix or whatever they they're awesome man philadelphia phoenix i forget what philadelphia has a professional um ultimate frisbee team didn't know that uh and they are awesome and they did a like at one of the eagles um halftime shows they did a demonstration demonstration i was blown away and then there was a guy who listens to this show who's plays for that team and invited us out to they have a bunch of games that they're but unfortunately they're
all during the weekends during the summer and I'm not around. Maybe the LFL will come back for Lingerie Football League. Come on, man. All right, let's do clips. Here we go.
Two years after the events of Megan, Gemma has become an advocate for regulating artificial intelligence. And in this clip, Allison Williams talks about her character's mental state. We meet her. She's pretty frazzled. Katie's behavior is challenging. She's acting out in ways that are pretty predictable but are totally unproductive.
and almost unmanageable for Gemma, and she's just doing her best to keep it all afloat. Megan 2.0 hits theaters on Friday. Here's our next clip.
The Bear is back with chefs cooking up something fresh for this new season. And in this clip, Lionel Boyce details the passion audiences will see in his character Marcus. I like his passion and curiosity. I think that's kind of what's fueling him and that's what's kind of got everyone on board with him to believe in him and want to see him win. It's just he's passionate. He's found something he cares deeply about. And then he's like going for it.
So the entire season four of The Bear premieres today. What? On Hulu. Yes, it does. That came out of nowhere. I knew it was coming. They've been pitching it. I didn't realize they were going to do a full series dump at once. That I didn't know either. But that's all of it. They have to.
They haven't done that. I don't remember. I've lost track of which ones roll out bit by bit. Not this show. They haven't dumped it out. I don't care for that. I like the spacing. I kind of agree, Nick. I did like the hanging with it and absorbing the episodes. What I'm basically saying is I'm too weak-willed to not jump. The complaint is I don't have the...
mental fortitude to keep from hitting the button. It's like when they got that pint of ice cream. I know. You know what I mean? It's freaking crazy. Thank you, Charlie. All right, that's the entertainment report. When we return from this short break that we are going to take, we have an announcement to make. So we'll get into that. We're going to go live on Fox Good Day. We will have a chance for you to win the last of the Hershey Park four packs to give away because we broadcast live tomorrow. We're going to do a game at some point, so stay with us. We'll be back in a sec.

Just a reminder that we're broadcasting live from Hershey Park. Don't call right now or anything. We're not giving away tickets right now, but we have the last of our four packs of tickets to give away. We're going to play a game probably in the 8 o'clock hour and give away some of those, so get yourself set. But right now, announcement time. So...
We are excited that we have this ready to go at this early stage, but we... Hey, sorry. I came in a little premature. Premature buttonation? No. I, uh, never mind. Okay, never mind.
We're here to announce the save the date for the Camp Out for Hunger. There you go. All right. The dates have come in and we have secured the location at Xfinity Live and the Camp Out for Hunger this year, 2025, will be taking place November 10th through the 14th inside the Wells Fargo Center Complex where we all
always are. So we want you to mark your calendar for that so we can have you available to experience all the things that we are going to plan between now and then, including things like food trucks and fireworks. If we end up doing that again, we want to make sure you're available. Who knows? Maybe we'll do another camp out after dark. We'll see. We'll get this stuff together. But
We just want you to have that stretch of days open so that you can partake upon any one of those things that you want to be involved in. So November 10th through the 14th at Xfinity Live, we will be collecting non-perishable food donations to benefit our good friends at Phil Abundance. And you can go to WMMR.com or PrestonAndSteve.com for updates.
Throughout the summer. Including the business challenge. And you can get your food drive started. And be ready for this. Some people do start their food drives. As soon as they hear about this. And you know Laurie. And the whole collective. And Marissa who is very much tied into Philabonics as well. And just doing an incredible job with them. Everyone's relaying. We hate to be the broken record. But I think Marissa. And I think you'll echo this. It's pretty damn tough. So if you can. This far out.
As you said, Preston, plan your food drives. Plan to take some time during the week and be a part of this thing. We can really bat it out of the park if we really put a lot of pre-work into it. Yep, absolutely. So, again, the dates, November 10th through the 14th, which we think is a really good spot. I mean, it's obviously a week or so after Halloween. It's leading up to Thanksgiving where everybody's starting to get in that full-on holiday mode. Agreed. Yeah.
And in the giving spirit. Yes. That's what we want this whole thing to be about. So make sure that you make some plans to join us for that, at least for a portion of that event. All right. We are going to expand our minds. My mind is a raging torrent flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. The stream of consciousness, sir. My mind is streaming.
And I wanted to pass this along because an event took place. These events have happened before. It is the collection of Ryans. I've told you guys about this before in the Bizarre File. Yeah, they did a Kyle one. I believe there was a Kyle Texas. Yes. They had a gathering of the Kyles. Something along those lines. These do happen. So this is a collection of guys named and girls named Ryan. All right.
And this took place this past weekend at Coors Field in Denver. The Rockies were hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks and an organization named Ryan Meetup used that as ground zero to gather as many men as possible with the name. And in total, there were about 600 guys with that name who attended the NL West matchup.
And there was no other motivation other than highlighting these people and trying to break the record for most Ryans gathered in the same spot. Now, it wasn't just Ryans who took over the stands that made an impact on the game. Colorado has two Ryans in their lineup. There you go. Utility man Ryan McMahon and a shortstop Ryan Ritter.
And they teamed up for apparently a phenomenal night. They went for a combined three for eight from the batter's box, including a moonshot home run from the man that traveled 467 feet and landed in an area where there were Ryans seated. No way. And he acknowledged the group as he was running the bases. And yeah, so it was pretty exciting. Yeah.
And then they went to Marissa's bar afterwards. Yeah, this has been a couple of months in the planning. They had reached out and they made a whole weekend of it. People were coming from across the country, checking in as they landed in Denver. And then on Saturday night, they came to the Shambles in Rhino. And guys, it was like these are they're a very organized organization. They had a PowerPoint. They made people pledge like their Ryanism. They had people changing their names.
They greeted everyone with a shop ski. I mean, this was an epic event. So the PowerPoint was sort of a reaffirmation of what it means to be a Ryan or what was the gist of it? Yes, pretty much that. Just Ryan's taking over the world and their hatred for the name Brian. Oh, yeah. Because of the confusion. Yes. Yeah. I could absolutely see that. I love that precedent. Miss had mentioned this casually a couple of days ago.
And I raise the notion, there are a lot of Ryans. My name is too common. Steve, Stephen, it would be underwhelming. Ryan has a little bit of an edge to it. But Preston, I think that's a name that we should do this for and see how many we can get. I think there'd be more of a drive for, Ryan is a great name, and certainly to do this, but I think there may be a passion to travel around
If you know your clan is gathering. I think we would get about five or six of us together probably. It's a very rare name. Yes, but the question is how rare? Could we... That's true. Could we take over... What's the occupancy of the shambles, Marissa? Oh, um...
Inside, we're smaller, about 80, but outside, we could have a couple hundred. Okay. Do you think we could both... We could find a place around here. I mean, around the world. I mean, Max Tapper doesn't have a good thing going on right now. Right, right. That'd be empty. Well, Wilson's Secret Sauce just went through a nice rehab. Yes. Maybe it will there. But you know what? Let's put the feelers out. If you are named Preston or you know someone who is named Preston... Man or woman? Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe Jeff Bezos will show up. What's her name? Preston. Yeah, maybe Jeff Bezos and Charlie Sheen and Gandalf will get the whole crew here. That's right. My name is Charlie Preston Sheen. Well, we actually found out that Jeff Bezos' middle name is Preston. Actually, his real last name is Jorgensen. Jorgensen. Yeah, Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen. I assume the J is pronounced J.
with a Y or it might be Jorgensen. I'm not really sure. Wasn't there a time you were in the anomaly occurred? You were in a room with two other Prestons. Yes. So that was, that's why I'd mentioned that the rarity. And by the way, yeah, if you are named Preston, feel free to call us. I have had people reach out that have named their children Preston inspired by the name of this radio show, which I find very, very flattering. Thank you. Um,
But 610-660-9333. Feel free to reach out. Yeah, so there was one time...
Uh, and this was actually, I mentioned earlier when I was in high school, uh, our band went to Nashville to record a demo and our quote unquote producer, his name was a guy named Preston Sullivan. And so we went the, the day before we went to the rehearsal hall to, to make sure that we had everything down pat. Uh, we went to a music store like a Sam Ash or something like that. And so we're standing around and, uh,
Preston, the producer, runs into another guy and he says his name is Preston. And the three of us stood there. We were like, I can't believe this. Preston's unite. There were three of us together. Yeah, it was almost like a Spider-Man meme. We're all pointing at each other. Um,
I tend to think of Preston as a southern name. Really? Preston Prescott. And it's probably based on nothing other than a dumb perception. But you were the only Preston in your sphere, right? Oh, yeah. So what if we could pull together? I'm not saying we do an evening of a thousand Prestons. No. Preston Fest. Preston Fest. We could do Preston Fest. Nick just pulled up a famous Preston Elliott.
He was a Canadian farmer and politician from Ontario. Well, not really famous. His Wikipedia is really tight. Listen, in Ontario, he's the cat's pajamas. There's a whole long list of people with a given name, Preston. He was one that came up because it grabbed my eye. But most of them I've not heard of before. Go down and see if there's a Preston Sullivan, the guy that produced this, because he was a country singer. And no, Preston.
There's a famous director, Preston Sturgis. I remember that name. Preston Sturgis was a writer and a director in the 40s. He had very smartly written sort of would be kind of rom-coms. The only one I remember as a child and making note of the name was Preston Pearson. Preston Pearson. He played for the Steelers. Okay. And that's kind of why I liked the Steelers when I was a kid.
I didn't live in a town. It was before we moved to St. Louis and I was aware I'd lived in South Carolina for a little while and we didn't really have a team to root for so I took on the Steelers because of Preston Pearson. I did a little Facebook search and there's a Preston that lives in Conjahawken. There's a Preston who lives in Vineland. Wow.
A Wayne Preston and Percocet. Do we go last name too? Is that acceptable? No. Because there are groups, for example, I get invited to the global meeting of Morrisons, which takes place in Scotland. Really? Yes. I'll get these things in the mail periodically. But I think there's a whole other thing with the first name Preston. Well,
Be unique. If we get enough nibbles, maybe we could do something like that. Reach out, email, whatever, text. Not night of a thousand presents, but night of quite a few presents. Night of quite a few presents. Oh my God. I love that name. Night of quite a few presents.
There's another local one that's notable. Preston Mattingly. He's Don Mattingly's son. He's in the front office for the Phillies. At least he was last season. I'm a big baseball fan, a big Phils fan. I didn't know this until just now, but he was hired a couple years ago. Maybe we could get Preston Mattingly to come out. He's invited? You're invited. Let's work on that. Night of quite a few Prestons. Let any Preston you might know in your life, let them know they need to contact us. I want to move on to Something Else.
The stream of consciousness, nerds. Listen to this, man. I saw this story yesterday in, I think it was in the Philly Voice. Um...
A prominent Philadelphia biotech executive's 2,800 square foot beachfront house in Stone Harbor. 2,800 square feet. Okay, so 2,800 square feet. Is a modest. That's a modest home. Could be the most expensive property if it sells in that town. It is. Let me tell you a little bit about it. I'll give you the price.
Did you look already, Case? Uh-huh. I saw it in the Enquirer, but please go through it. Okay, well, no guessing then. The five-bedroom home on 108th Street is owned by Jim Wilson, a research scientist who led the University of Pennsylvania's gene therapy program until last year when he became CEO of Gemma or Gemma Biotherapeutics and board chairman of diagnostic testing firm Franklin Biolabs.
Wilson and his wife Lisa bought the Cape May County house in 2019. Let me just give you this. They bought it in 2019 for $5.8 million. This is a 2,800 square foot home. Which is nice size, but not... It's a livable size home. Yes, absolutely. But it is not a mansion. Is it beachfront? It is beachfront. It's not Xanadu. But it was sold for $5.8 million.
It is up for sale for $13.499 million. Oh, man. Listen, I... Dude, that is Stone Harbor. I ride my bike past this house all the time. It's just kind of on my route of, you know, when I ride my bike north. Yeah.
I need to see this thing. I need to see how big this thing is. Listen, it's nice. We were looking at it last night on Zillow or whatever, and it's nice. I mean, it's right on the beach, and you have unobstructed views of the ocean. I have to see pictures of it now because there was no picture in the article. But the house is just like, yeah, it's nice. Is it one of those areas in Stone Harbor or Avalon where there's a whole bunch of protective dunes and then the houses and then the beach? Yes. Okay, so there's those blocks where it gets to be that way, and...
I guess I'm not surprised. I mean, like the Stone Harbor real estate is just insane and it has been as has Avalon for a long time. Yeah, correct. What? Did you find it? Yeah. Let me know if this is it. Okay, so I can't
I'm not sure if that's it or not, Steve. So anyhow, it's on 108th Street. Yeah, just look for anything that's going for... Here's a good picture of it, Steve, on our monitors here. It's a really nice home. It is. It's a very nice home. That ate a $14 million house. I mean, the view is wonderful, but wow. No, it's gorgeous. So I would... My Zillow, which I love. I know, Nick, you're a big fan of it as well.
In case we do this, everybody. Everybody. I was like, there's no single people out. I'm on Zillow every day. Let's just say I would put this at like $6 million, right? $5, $6 million. You're coming up on $15 million. You're coming up on three times the original price of 2019. And all due respect to the Jersey Shore because I've been going there my whole life and I love it, but it's not...
It's not Malibu. It's not even the Hamptons or Coral Gables or St. John in the Virgin Islands. Jersey Shore is great for what it is. But to me, this just seems wildly overpriced. I guess the difference is, Nick, it's all we have. You know what I mean? Sure. And it's accessible for money from Philadelphia and New York and probably even D.C. and Delaware and whatever. And I get... Really, like...
I've told you guys this a million times, but my dad had property in Avalon when we were kids, and he sold it in the early 80s. And had he kept it, it was not big, it was not a lot, but it was a property in Avalon. And my mom cried when they drove back up from the beach all the way to their house. And it was just one of those things where, like, my dad's a pretty good businessman and made some smart investments in his life. That was by far the worst decision he ever made. That's the thing, Nick, because what I think is the great leveler is that when people say, you're talking about the shore, talking about having a home at the shore, there are people...
who've had homes that they purchased for a song and a dance years ago who've held on to those homes. Yeah, we had a friend who had an Avalon home that their dad bought for like $25,000 back in the 1980s. They have held on to it forever. It's got to be worth a couple million dollars now, at least. So it is the great leveler, you know? But I mean, for this, $14 million. Yeah. Here's the thing about that shore property. They're not...
building anymore. Right, right. Almost everything is built on. You got to wedge it in if you do. So this house was built in 2015. It underwent meticulous renovations by the builder DL Minor Construction and it has five full bathrooms plus a half bath. Quick question. Are the plans to keep the ocean there? I think they're going to hang on to that.
Built-in bunk beds and a pool. Features cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace, as well as a patio and an outdoor shower. And they got a pool table, too. If the sale closes near the asking price, this would mark the highest recorded residential transaction in Stone Harbor, reflecting the increased demand for turnkey luxury homes.
in premier locations. I'm going to make a projection. I'm going to bet it goes for over the price. We live aggressively for real estate down there now, and you guys would well know. I mean, this is a beautiful location. I mean, it's...
Rochelle was looking at it. I think it was in the neighborhood of like $2,300 per square foot is the price in Stone Harbor. It's not worth it. I'm sorry. I agree. I am on board 100%. I want a gantry.
when I was right for your lock and launches yeah and definitely an elevator right uh when I was walking Steve to your point or maybe Preston you said it but about um you know not having any property to build on anymore down the shore I was in Cape May Point a couple weeks ago and uh
there were a bunch of knockdowns. And that's the only way that you can build new properties. If you come and you buy an old property, which probably costs you $800,000 or whatever, you can knock that down and put up the one you want. And I was surprised at how much new construction there was in Cape May Point, but that's
among the only ways that you're going to find a new place to build anything. And in Wildwood, people were buying ranchers for $500,000, $600,000 just to knock it down and put it up. Now, what I do like about what's going on in Wildwood is it is a one-for-one deal. So if you buy a single home, you can only put up a single home. You can't put up a duplex or a triplex. That's good. It keeps kind of things level. You're not overstuffed with these things that are being wedged in between homes. Yeah, and they have restrictions on heights and stuff like
that. Four feet, right? You go down to Ocean City and you start looking up and you're like, all these three-story things all over the place. It's kind of weird. Well, anyway. Everybody's got their short towns they love, so love them, love them, love them. But yeah, that's
crazy amount of money. All right. Here's another and another thing. The stream of consciousness, sir. Featuring and another thing. An 85-year-old scientist who invented the smell that is added to natural gas has received a Lifetime Achievement Award. And he's out of Gloucestershire, England. Yeah.
The engineer's name is Peter Hansen, and he was asked by a company to produce a smell to add to gas, which is otherwise odorless. The scent he created was added at Milford Haven refineries. It means that people can smell gas leaks. He has now received the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award from the Dull Man's podcast, which is produced by a team in Gloucestershire. Thank you.
That's for sure. He said, I had to look for the nastiest smell I could think of. That was a choice. I can't describe the smell. It's just horrible. I don't think it is that nasty. I find it easily identifiable, which is the purpose of it. That's natural gas. I'm thinking of gasoline because gasoline is odorless as well, right? No, I don't think it is odorless.
It was odorless, and then they put an odor in it. I don't think so, Keith. I thought you might be right, Keith, because I heard that there was some sort of odor, but maybe they were confusing it with this, with natural gas. Here's a fact. No, gasoline is not odorless. It has a distinct, strong, impungent chemical smell. There you go. So, no, it's natural gas that is odorless, and that's why they would have the canary in a coal mine, because there would be gas leaks, and they could not...
smell it, and if they look over and they saw that the canary was dead... It feels so good. Then you've got to get the hell out of there right now because they're very, very, very sensitive to it. I don't find that smell, though, even, you know, the gas leak unpleasant. I find it off-putting. So we have a gas stove, and while you're turning it on, and if it doesn't ignite and you start to smell that, I'm like, whoa, that's strong. But it all depends, I guess, on your... I'm an active paint-hover. You're desensitized. So he said that...
The interview said Peter, oh, so they made up this award for him, essentially, is what they did. They found out about this guy's story and they said, we need an award for this guy because he's gone kind of unsung. He's ostensibly saved many lives. Mr. Hansen said, I've discussed my award with my family and I was surprised a lot of people don't realize that natural gas is odorless.
He said that it was in the 1970s. He had a phone call from a gentleman in Newport in South Wales asking him to develop a smell for a natural gas company. He said natural gas had just entered the country. I didn't know that was so...
No, you would have thought it was much. Yeah, yeah. But again, you know, the hula hoop. He said they were looking for a smell that they could inject into the gas. They were serious and it was important and urgent. After sending the gas company samples of his smell substance from his own business, his own new business, Mr. Hansen faced another problem. He said the problem was they wanted 40,000 liters delivered in two months.
He said it was a fresh new company that would take me a year to produce. For a while, he went into production with a friend, but his friend's company went bust, so he decided to sell the formula to the gas company. Ah, there you go. And he said, because I was in my 30s, I wasn't very business-wise. I should have tied something up in writing, but it was all done on trust. This stinks. He said, but I had...
I see what you did. He said, but I had the kudos that delivered the smell and that was enough for me. So it was a, you know, they kind of took advantage of him. He didn't get the recognition that he should have. There was a story you want to talk about, you know, the undetectable nature of this stuff. There was a story that I was a disaster ish.
I think it was in Kentucky, Preston. And there were people in the woods and there was a sort of a basin, a grotto, we'll say. And it had been sort of collecting. You remember the story, right? Well, I continue because I saw something else. And there were campers and somehow a fire got lit and like two acres blew up. Okay.
Okay. Like, just went right up. I saw something different than that, and it was a video, Steve, on Instagram, and they were showing the dangers of going into a cave that you may come across. Oh, I've seen that. And so this was carbon dioxide. Yes. And they're holding a lit match, and they walk up to the entrance of this cave, and it's not a breeze. No. They just walk up, and they get in there. It's the absence of oxygen, and it just...
Goes out. They called it the most lethal cave in the world, I think it is. They took like a lit torch and put it in. It just goes right out. So people get lulled. They go in and they don't realize there's no oxygen. And they pass out and they die. Yep, exactly. I don't want to go there. We're not going to have Preston Fest there. This guy got an award. All right, here's something else. The stream of consciousness nerds.
Steve sent this over to me. I thought this was pretty cool. As of last week, travelers can fly from Philadelphia International Airport to Cape Cod. And more new flights could be on the horizon. Cape Cod is beautiful. I love it.
I've always wanted to visit that area. I've wanted to go to Martha's Vineyard, but Cape Cod has been on the list too. So one of the best vacations, we stayed at a town at a resort called Chatham and then went up to the northern point of Cape Cod. Provincetown? Yeah, where all the great white sharks hang out. But the town itself, Preston, you'd love it.
It's just gorgeous. It's really charming. We went to Cape Cod a lot when we were growing up. Really? Yeah, and the only issue is, and this is why these fights are great, it's a pain in the ass to get there. Yeah. The drive is annoying. You got to go through Connecticut twice, and it's just the worst drive. I can't stand it. I hate Connecticut so damn much. But getting to Cape Cod, like you make it to Massachusetts, and then you got to go at the Cape, and the Cape is a pretty slow drive. It's mostly a two-lane highway. Okay. You know?
That's what I was going to ask. If it was like being in the Keys or something. That's what it is. American Airlines will offer a daily round-trip flight between Philly International and Cape Cod Gateway Airport
In Hyannis, Massachusetts. That's great. From June 19th to September 2nd for the first time. So they're just going to do this summertime window. So you, I know, in particular, are constantly getting invites from the Kennedy family. You know, I've never taken them up on them. Hey, Preston, are you coming up or what? Yeah. A round-trip flight. We just purchased a cocktail rum kit. So the Enquirer, they pulled up some fares and they found that a round-trip flight...
Leaving on Friday, July 11th at 10.30 a.m. and returning on Sunday, July 13th in basic economy is $396 per person. It's kind of pricey. Yeah, it takes about an hour, though? An hour and a half. Yeah. So, the flight... You know what, though? Again, you're trimming off a ton of travel time because, as Nick pointed out, you're... Oh, yeah. It's a slog. So, here's the comparison. The flight to Cape Cod on an Embraer 175 aircraft, which is a small jet...
roughly about an hour and a half compared to the six-hour journey by car from Philadelphia. I know Pierre loves it, and he's been to Provincetown a million times. He would do the flight because he didn't like the drive, but you would have to fly to Boston, obviously. So it was Philly to Boston, and then you do Cape Air, which it's almost like wings from the TV show. Cape Air, I think, flies a few places in the Virgin Islands and Cape Cod, and that's about it. I've never been, but I feel like I think I'd rather, before I chose Cape Cod, I would choose Nantucket.
And Martha's Vineyard. Case, they're all great. They're all wonderful. Which one was One Crazy Summer? That was Nantucket, right? I think that's... Is that... Is it? I want to say that's Nantucket. Yes, Case. Yeah. I know there was an old... Now, Splash was on Cape Cod. It was? Okay. And I'm sure there's been movies on... Well, Stuck on You was there on the Vineyard. Are there? Yeah. Yeah.
Absolutely. When I was a kid, we had been dragged around by my parents to a bunch of different vineyards out in California. And man, it was boring for an eight-year-old. We were just exhausted and we were so tired. And so the following summer, we're like, all right, kids, we're going to Martha's Vineyard. I was like, I don't want to go to another vineyard.
I had no idea it was an island off the coast of Cape Cod. So the Nantucket, there once was a guy from Nantucket whose was so long he could suck it. And he said with a grin as he wiped off his chin, if my ear was a I would It's a good one. Yeah, that's Walt Whitman, right? I think it's a Whitman, yes. By the way, it's in Leaves of Grass. Since we are talking, and by the way, I need to read Walt Whitman. I've heard a few things from him and I'm like,
He's got a podcast. Yeah, does he? All right. Oh, man. I love it. I think I might have. No, so I have never been. Oh, sorry. We were talking about that place, then the $14 million place in Starn Harbor.
My wife just sent me a beachfront property in Avalon that is new construction that just went up for sale. Now, listen, it's a bigger house. It's 7,000 square feet. Okay. How much do you think they want? It's beachfront in Avalon. 7,000 square feet beachfront in Avalon. 20 million. 26 million. Jeez. And it's brand new construction? Brand new construction. 26 million.
million it's got a pool too in in stone harbor and a pool table in in stone harbor on that main drag casey there's a real estate uh building you ever go by and look at the pictures hanging in the window yes i have it's just like sticker shock you can't believe and i know there are people listening you know we we have for some reason people who are doing very well listen to the show which is great who have oh yeah that's about right impressive you have a couple of friends who are
quite well off. But I mean, still, to the plebes like us, it's like 26 million. And let's not forget, that's their second home or third. Yeah. That's not their primary house. That's where they keep their hamsters. They got hamsters? That's a good point. Hey, if you're... The wealthy always have hamsters. I didn't know that. Where are we going to put the hamsters? Back to Cape Cod for a moment. Where are my hamsters?
Where are my hamsters? I can't find my hamsters. The airline schedules flights a year in advance and will evaluate whether they offer the summer service to Cape Cod again based on performance and demand. I bet you it will do well. Again, there's a lot to see and really love. It is classic to the area that Martha's Vine. You know the areas you were mentioning, Casey? They're just wonderful. And if you want to go on a hell of a whale watch...
You know, that way. For sure. They're also, and we're going to wrap up here, Kasey. Iberia, a Spanish airline, plans to expand its service to Philadelphia for the first time. The airline announced...
Last week, though, flights are not yet available. It's part of the airline's strategic plan, which also includes adding service to Toronto, Monterey, Mexico. And the airline also aims to add more airplanes to its fleet and hire more employees. Iberia would be the Spanish airline would fly you to Toronto and Monterey, Mexico. That's kind of interesting. Yeah. They currently have 165 aircrafts. They fly to over 140 cities around the world. I assume Barcelona is one.
Barcelona would definitely be on there. But yeah, so they're expanding some of these flights. I like that. Philly International, which is pretty cool, yeah. All right, we got to wrap it up because we have to go on Fox Good Day in just a moment. So no more. No more stream of consciousness, nerd. We will come back and chat with those guys and see what's up as well as get some bizarre file stories. We made an announcement a little while ago that we have a save the date for the Camp Opera Hunger. It's going to be November 10th through the 14th.
And you can set those dates aside and get set for that live broadcast. Being a live broadcast, we'll have some Hershey Park tickets to give away for tomorrow's event coming up in a little bit.

In a little while, the last of our four packs will take us to join us at Hershey Park, which is tomorrow. Live broadcast in the sweetest place on earth. Speaking of live broadcast, as I said at the top, and I'm just going to reiterate this information, our Camp Out for Hunger, save the date. It is November 10th through the 14th at Xfinity Live inside the Wells Fargo Center Complex.
And it would be business as usual with some more flourishes and events that we will cook up between now and then. But we'll be collecting non-perishable food donations, of course, for Phil Abundance. And throughout the summer and updates, you can go through PrestonAndSteve.com and find out a little bit of information that you may want to know leading up to the event. But save the date, November 10th through the 14th. We should hear some music.
any moment now. And there it is. See what's up. Hey, President Steve, we have a question for you.
Do you have alert fatigue? Alice, you want to explain what that is, alert fatigue? You know, all those alerts that you get on your phone, those notifications, social media, so-and-so posted, or news, this happening, this happening, those game apps saying, oh, you just did this, you should come back high score. Just constant things popping up on your phone alerting you to things. Maybe even dings go off. Dings. Right.
Preston? I have turned off all notifications except for when I get a new subscriber on my OnlyFans page. And that's it. That's the only one that I want to know of. Other than that. Master7-1. I try to keep everything shut down on that. That drove me crazy for a while in the earlier days of my phone interrupting me regularly. In fact, somebody's calling me right now. Who's calling you? I don't know. One of your OnlyFans. Let's find out.
Oh, it's Mike. That's funny. It's Mike. Oh, that's hilarious. Hey, Mike. How you doing, bud? Thanks for calling, man. Love you. Yeah, yeah. By the way, has he re-upped his account?
Yes, he's got the platinum package, which is great. Oh, definitely. Oh, yes. Quite the package, too. Yes. Are your alerts off? No, I have many. I actually have nine cameras inside the house, seven cameras around the perimeter of the house. What?
I leave, and I've gotten good at just, if I'm on the phone, it used to drive me out of my skull if I was trying to do something. But my thumb, talking about an OnlyFans account, my thumb flicks so fast that I can pass right by it. But I have all the cameras are alerted, you know, so I get all these alerts that come in quickly. And now it's just second nature, just quickly, you know, take it off the screen. But I get bombarded, and I think I would be lost if I didn't have two to five hundred.
of these things a day. Mike, you're calling me right now? FaceTime me. I'm going to try to FaceTime you, Mike. Oh, that'd be perfect. Oh, my God. Mike, I'm FaceTiming you. Just put him on silent. Can we put specific people on silent? Oh, he's going to FaceTime me. Oh, you're FaceTiming, huh? Let's see. Oh, I just noticed I don't have Alex's phone number in my... No. I was going to call her, but... Oh!
Let me give it to you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Thanks. Yes, Alex. I would love to see what your notifications are like. Yeah. How many suitors do you get per day? Well, for social media, I don't have my notifications on. Really? So I don't have to see it unless I choose to check it. Yeah. What? You guys have to check it.
don't get a lot of stuff and comments and things. I cannot. No, but I mean, you're very active and you do a great job on social media. Don't you check your numbers? Don't you want to see if you're beating Beyonce this week? No, I check. I just don't get notifications where my phone goes off every time. Yeah, the alerts. Oh, okay. Oh my gosh. Oh wait, I think I just had a call. You like being in a casino. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I just called Alex. Oh, you did? Nick has Alex's number. There you go.
All right. Yes, he does. We're cool like that, you know? We're very cool. Share that contact with me. Yes, we have the dates. Mike, thank you for asking. November 10th through the 14th at Xfinity Live. We are set for that, and we had to wait for the Eagle schedule to come out. You know, we have to make sure that we have availabilities and uses of the parking lot, so that is going to be the week. Mark the dates on your calendar. Every attendee will receive Alex Holly's cell number.
Don't tell that. You'll get a number. It may not be mine, but you'll get a number. How about that? Thank you, guys. See you, guys. We'll talk to you soon. That's funny, man. I'm like, why is somebody calling me right now when we are trying to do this thing? I love it. Let's get to the Bizarre Five. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Five. Bizarre Five.
Brought to you this morning by Pella Windows and Doors, celebrating 100 years right now. Save 250 off windows, 700 off doors, and 0% APR for 48 months. So, this was really weird, and I meant to get through this yesterday, but better late than never. French police were questioning two people on Sunday after Disneyland Paris.
was hired for an alleged fake marriage ceremony involving a girl who's about nine years old. The theme park complex outside Paris had been hired for what was presumed to be a genuine private wedding early on Saturday morning before opening hours, but Disneyland staff and security called police when they noticed that the so-called bride wearing a wedding dress was way too young.
After police investigated, local prosecutor's office in Miao said that the event was not a real marriage ceremony. The deputy local prosecutor said the event turned out to have been staged. The guests themselves were all actors. So it wasn't a wedding, but the staging of a wedding, which was filmed with around 100 extras. They had privately hired Disneyland Paris, claiming that it was a real wedding.
Listen, the radar would have gone up for me. Well, there's more to this story. So four people were arrested and taken into police custody. Two were still being questioned on Sunday on suspicion of fraud and money laundering. They included a man said to have been the fake groom who's alleged to have organized the event. He is 22 and thought to be British. Now, I found out later on that that guy is like on the sex offenders register. No, no, no.
The young girl, who's Ukrainian, was not found to have suffered any violence or constraint, the prosecutor's office said. Her mother, who's 41, was released from questioning, as was a 55-year-old Latvian man. Disneyland Paris is Europe's most visited theme park and can be hired for weddings at a very high price outside of opening hours.
with its Sleeping Beauty castle in the backdrop. We assume there is no room for nine-year-olds, though. It was unclear why a fake wedding might have been staged there and what the child's role was. Local daily paper La Parisienne reported that extras who were to attend in the role of guests were taken by bus to the area. Disneyland Paris said...
There's no way on any level that doesn't seem incredibly creepy. Yeah, exactly.
All right, shocking news coming from Zizhou province of China, where a cargo truck was left teetering on the edge of a collapsed highway bridge after a landslide triggered by heavy rainfall. The incident happened on the Huzi River Bridge, and the truck had just enough time to break before the road gave way beneath it. The cab ended up suspended over a 300-foot drop.
with the driver trapped inside. I mean, the front end of the truck is hanging off at the end of this. He must have been laughing. So the footage shows it precariously hanging, its rear wheels still gripping the intact portion of the bridge while the front dangled into the deep valley. Rescue teams rushed to the scene and successfully pulled the driver to safety. No injuries were reported in the collapse.
And the authorities later confirmed that this was caused by a landslide that broke the bridge's support columns after days of heavy rainfall. The province is known for its mountains and heavy rainfall. Hilly and narrow roads in the province make it difficult for truckers to drive through. If that sort of stuff causes fear in your heart, watch a movie William Friedkin directed called The Sorcerer.
about their transporting nitroglycerin through mountain roads. It's unbelievable. A veteran Greek hiker died Tuesday after falling into a ravine in the north of the country after a bear encounter. So it goes from bear to cliff and this guy dies. This is just not your day. So Christos Stavarandis
was declared dead at a hospital shortly after he was found in the 2,600-foot ravine at Froktou Forest in northeastern Greece. Oh, yeah, the famous Froktou girl. Stravourandis was in the forest with another experienced hiker, Dimitris Kiragoulou,
When the incident happened, Kiergurlo said, I suddenly saw a bear which attacked me. Oh, man. My dog delayed it by a few seconds. I used pepper spray and it headed to where my friend was and knocked him into the ravine. The bear pushed him. Pushed him. Yeah. Son of a bitch. Sterevendous had run out of bear spray when the very big bear approached him. Man. And he said, I've never seen such speed and such strength before. The bear was- Oh, I work out.
Likely defending itself.
He said, an expert said this is more of a defensive behavior, not an attack. The bear is trying to push back what it sees as a threat. Yeah, come on. The hikers were heading toward the remains of a Greek warplane that crashed in the area some seven decades earlier. Stravarendis had found the plane deep in the forest last August and he was leading efforts to identify a more accessible route to its location to enable more people to be able to visit the wreckage. But yeah, this bear essentially killed him by pushing him. It's crazy.
Well, a careless tourist has sparked fury in Italy after he damaged a priceless 18th century painting while trying to take a selfie. So this is the second time you had the guy sitting in that seat as priceless piece of art and now this painting. The unnamed culprit had been enjoying a visit to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence when his day took a turn for the worse. The man decided to try and capture a picture of himself mimicking the pose of...
A Ferdinando de Medici Grand Prince of Tuscany in a portrait by Anton Domenico Gabbiani. But the visitor's bright idea soon became an embarrassing blunder when he lost his balance. He stumbled backward, falling against the portrait and leaving a hole at the level of the prince's right boot. By the way, how is it that this thing is accessible, that you can get that close to fall into? Man, a lot, Steve, a lot.
of really rare works are not as protected as you think they are at museums. No, I've never been to the Louvre. I know you guys have been. I've been to the Uffizi as well. I mean, like a lot of these paintings are just out in the open, you know? It happens in Philadelphia Museum of Art, you know? Maybe they're going to rethink... I mean, obviously, you know...
I mean, like, I've got a picture of me at the Barnes with a Van Gogh. I could have just touched out and reached out and touched it. I mean, it's, you know, right there. Most people aren't morons that lean back on priceless pieces of art. Yeah. Museum staff were quick to identify the man and report him to the police for causing the damage. That's him! The painting was removed for repair with experts concluding that the damage was relatively minor. Yeah.
A trade union representing the museum workers said the tourist had tripped on a low platform intended to keep visitors at an appropriate distance from the paintings and it had previously raised concerns the museum authorities after another visitor had tripped without causing any damage. For all you fish fans out there, there's a song called You Enjoy Myself and the name of that song is because of
I was going to say Preston. Trey and John were just outside of Uffizi Gallery in Italy. Right. And they were with a German tourist. And the German tourist put his arms around him. He goes, you know, when I'm with you, you enjoy myself. And that's where the title You Enjoy Myself came from. So was the artwork damaged in that? No, no. But it was just, you know, it's kind of funny. The same museum. Oh, I see. And in the lyrics, they say, watch Uffizi, drive me to Firenze. Oh.
And this fish moment brought to you by Casey Boy Foster. This has been a fish moment brought to you by Casey Foster. We should have that. We need a sound bite at the ready. The more you know. We've got to have that somewhere, I think so. I hope so. It was a moment. Yeah. A fish moment by Casey. Oh, my God. That's all there is. A full jingle. Yeah. All righty. You have it. Oh, okay. Hold on. There you go. This just in.
The more you know about fish. All right. Let's take a break. And when we return, I think we might play something for your chance to win some tickets to see us tomorrow as we broadcast live. Join us, I should say, at Hershey Park. And we're going to have a good time, my friends. So stay with us. We'll be back in a moment.
Preston and Steve return to Hershey Park for a fan-favorite summertime tradition. Thursday, June 26th, Preston and Steve broadcast live from inside Hershey Park. And they're taking 500 of you with them for your shot to win a four-pack of tickets. Listen to the show. Winners get free parking and free entry at 7 a.m.

Out of D batteries for your vintage boombox? Just tell Alexa to play WMMR at maximum volume. And you can annoy the neighbors just like the good old days. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. Casey, hit that again because I didn't get a fair representation of that little clip. Is it on a hotkey anywhere? No, it's on the Vox Pro right here. Alexa, Alexa.
Okay, that's what I thought. Man, it's a hot one? Man, it's a hot one. Tomorrow morning at Hershey Park. It's supposed to be 75, 76 degrees when the show starts. Partly cloudy, so it should be good theme park weather tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been since the last time we were all there together. I'm looking forward to the new rides and everything. It should be a lot of fun. It's going to be great.
pretty much tomorrow the heat wave, yes? Yeah, so we're going to get up to about 83 tomorrow, which is wonderful. There's only later in the evening there's a chance of a passing shower, but it's less than 50%. I think you're going to be good for the whole day.
And that is what we are about to do. We are going to give away some Hershey Park passes. We have four packs, family four packs to give away. How are we going to do it? We're going to do it with a game we have not played in a long time. Let's play.
Loop, there it is. This game was actually invented by Milton Hershey. Wow. What that guy has done through the years is just amazing. They didn't have the recording capabilities, then they would have to have the band play this part over and over again. Over and over, just the band sit there. Right, yeah. Well, it's a pretty simple game in its form, and you can go ahead and give us a call right now, 610-660-9333. We will play a clip of the song. Marissa has taken a snippet.
of a song and then she has edited it together to repeat over and over and over and over. And you may... The key to this game...
is to try to focus on just that first time you hear it. As it starts to repeat, it begins to confuse you against the difficulty of the game. You're exactly right. If you can open up your mind at the very beginning and just recall that bit in its alone state, that gives you a little bit of an advantage. It's hard to do, but let's see if you can get these. Casey, I want to start with, let's start with this one. Okay, so, and we'll get callers on the line. Here's how it's going to work.
We're going to take three callers on the phone line. If we don't get a winner that way, Marissa is going to grab one from someone who texts in that wants to play. Marissa, what would you like for
for people to text in for them in order to be up for it that way all you have to do is text in the answer that's been text in the answer yeah that's how it's gone all these years somebody will text in because they know it and we'll reach out to them so if you know and you can't get through on the phone lines you can always text in all right so let's work it uh each of these ways and see if we can give away these family four packs for that live broadcast now keep in mind it's tomorrow so don't
take the passes if you can't make it to the event. We don't want to take these away from somebody who can actually use them. So let us begin. We're going to start with Brittany. Hang on. Okay. And of course, our phones don't work. Yay. Wait, hold it. Hold it. All right. Let me try now. Hey, Brittany, can you hear me?
Yes. Hi, Brittany. All right, Brittany. You're our first contestant for Loop. There it is. We're going to play this audio for you. It's going to repeat. Hopefully, you'll be able to hear it. You should be able to. And then we're going to ask you to identify the song. So, you ready to try this out? Yes. All right. Here comes your song. Listen closely. Here it is.
All right, Brittany, could you hear that? Is it Money by Pink Floyd? Yes! Yes!
Yes! Well done! All right. So, Brittany, four-pack, a family four-pack of tickets for you to join us for the live broadcast tomorrow at Hershey Park. There is free parking if you get there at a certain time. We'll get you the details and all that stuff. So, we look forward to seeing you, Brittany.
Thank you so much. I love this game. Excellent. We'll get all the info from you and we'll make sure you get the info that you need as well. I am stoked about that. All right, Case, let's go up to the top. Some of these are harder than others in there, you know, remembering the titles and all that stuff, but it's all part of the game.
I did. I thought I did. Hang on a second here. Let me try it again. There we go. I'm getting some kind of a delay on my pad here. Now we got it. All right. Hey, Mike, are you there? I'm here. All right, Mike. Playing the same game. It is loop. There it is. And if you can identify the repeated clip, you win the tickets to Hershey Park. You ready, buddy? I'm ready. Here we go. Wow. Wow, that actually hurt my ears a little bit too.
Kind of like when you leave your keys in the car. Yeah, that's a tough one. Mike, do you have a guess? I have no clue. All right, thanks, bud. Wow. Some of these have a higher difficulty level. We'll go to Dan. We're going to try the same one out on Dan. Hi, Dan. Are you there? Hey, good morning, man. Hey, good morning to see you. All right, Dan, you want to hear that again?
Can I pass on the difference? Nope. Nope, you can't. But listen, catch just that very first note. And I know it repeats, but let's see if you can get it. All right, here we go. Man. All right, a few texters are getting it. Are they? God bless them. All right, Dan, any guess? Let's go with Hell's Bells. Hell's Bells. No, that is incorrect. Thank you.
That would be if we sped it up like 50 times. That might sound like hell's bells, but no. Sorry, buddy. All right, one more on the phones, and then we will go to a texter if we don't get a winner there. So I'm going to go to Joe. Hi, Joe. You are on. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Joe doesn't like it. Joe is not a fan. Hi, Joe. I just really wish that I had the first one. Oh, yeah, I know, man. It sucks. All right, well, let's just try it because something may jar your memory. You ready? Ready?
Hit me with the note. All right, here we go. Man. So it's between two songs that the texters are getting, but one is obviously correct. All right, do you have a guess at all, Joe? Yeah, it sounds like my car when I don't put my seatbelt on. All right. Well, if there's any consolation, I'm not getting it either, Joe. Thanks for playing, Joe. All right, Marissa is going to grab me a texter, and we'll put him up in just a moment.
A reminder, as we're doing the broadcast at Hershey tomorrow, we will be doing some contests and games with people who are there in the area and giving some other prizes away. So if you do win, that's not where the winning ends. We have more chances for you to win. Are you saying the winning is just beginning? The winning is just beginning. Marissa, who am I going to? All right, line 11. All right, we have Cody, who is joining us. Hi, Cody, are you there? Hi. Hi, Cody, do you know what song that was? Yes, it's...
Did we just lose you, Cody? We started answering. Hang on. It doesn't look like he's on the line now. Hold on. Hold on. Let me try it again. All right. Let's try it again. Cody, we didn't hear you. Now we can hear you. All right. What was the song? Is it the Black Parade? Yes, exactly. Welcome to the Black Parade. Absolutely correct. Cody can't make it to Hershey. So, Casey, we're going to give him something else. We're going to set him up. Listen to this.
We have a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Jane Lynch's Swinging Little Christmas. Nice. Featuring Kate Flannery and Tim Davis. That's going to be at the Keswick Theater. It's not until Tuesday, December 2nd, but that's a great event to go to. Tickets are on sale now via keswicktheater.com. So we're going to set them up with that. Jane Lynch back in town with Kate Flannery. It's going to be terrific. Yep. So let me just observe this. I...
actually thought black parade but i thought oh would that be something that we would have so everything's up for grabs if you're playing the game yeah i mean we played the song yeah absolutely and anything yeah so we've got a lot to choose from here we go all right we will go next so you knew what that was i did but i thought i didn't i'm stupid all right we are gonna go to cindy next hi cindy good morning
Hi, good morning. All right, Cindy, we're playing Loop. There it is. You ready to try this out? I'm going to try. Cindy! A new one all teed up and ready to go. Here is your clip. I love it. Cindy, can you name that song? I'm going to guess Pure. Okay. Okay.
What are you guessing? Are you guessing? Oh, I said pure. I don't know. Oh, pure. I thought you said I'm going to guess sure. No, that is incorrect. Sorry about that. All right, Cindy. Bye-bye. All right, we will go next to Steve. Steve, you're on the air. Good morning. Oh, good morning. Hey, Steve. Okay. Steve, I'm going to play the clip for you. You ready?
Yep. All right, here we go. All right, Steve. What song is it?
Is that down with the sickness? Yeah. Correct, sir. All right. And for Steve, who can't make it to Hershey tomorrow, and I appreciate that, we are going to set you up, sir, with a pair of tickets to see Jane Lynch, The Swingin' Little Christmas featuring Kate Flannery and Tim Davis at the Keswick Theater, Tuesday, December 2nd. It is an awesome holiday, heartwarming extravaganza, and it's comedy and music, and tickets are on sale at...
KeswickTheater.com By the way, Kate threw out the first pitch of the Phillies game the other night. Did she? She was only in town for a little bit and she's doing the ballpark tour again. But she says next time she's in town, she'll swing by and say hi. That's excellent. We're going to go next to Steve S. Who's going to play for Hershey Tickets. Hi Steve, are you there? Yeah, good morning. Good morning. Alright Steve, we're playing loop. There it is. You ready to take a shot at it?
Yep. All right, this is your clip. Listen closely. Dude. That's hard. Steve, any idea? Dang. No, I don't know. No? All right. Thanks, bud. Appreciate it. Incorrect.
All right, we will go next to, we'll try Sandy out, see if she can identify. Hi, Sandy, good morning. Hey, Sandy, can you, oh, wait, no. Sandy! Okay, we lost her. She's gone. We will go next to, dude, this thing is really irritating. All right, I got it now. Hi, Joe, good morning, bud. Hey, Joe, turn your, okay, he just hung up. Yeah, okay, we will try, I have another Joe. I got another Joe, Joe P. What's up, Joe?
Hey, how's it going? Good, buddy. All right, you ready to play loop? There it is. Oh, yeah. Let's try this one more time. All right, you're the second one up. Let's see if you know what this is. Here we go. All right, let's see if you know. Joe? Joe?
I have no clue on this one. All right. Sorry about that. Are testers getting it? Yeah, there's a couple of them that have done it correctly. Yes. All right. We'll try one more caller, and it is Matt that we're going to go to. Hi, Matt. You have joined the Preston and Steve show. Good morning, sir. Good morning. All right, Matt. We're going to give you the same clip. You ready? Oh, yeah. Matt does not like this idea. Identify this. Here we go.
And by the way, people are asking for the full clip, Casey, after we identify it. All right, Matt, any idea? It sounds like a female. All right, so you've narrowed it down to one of two seconds.
Is it me and Bobby McGee? Incorrect, sir. That is incorrect. So we'll see if we can get a texter who might happen to know. Marissa is going to pull somebody up on the line and yeah, we'll find out. And it's, listen, I'm
I can hear it because I know what it is and I would have a really hard time identifying it. So I don't know what it is. Yeah, this one's a little bit more difficult and it's probably a song that you haven't heard in a while as well. That's another part of it. So we'll go to Ted, see if he knows. Hi, Ted, are you there, bud? Yes, I am. And do you know what song that is?
I think I do, is that I Can't Dance by Genesis. That is correct. Wow. Hang on the line. I'm a Genesis fan and I didn't get that. Here's the entirety. I can't.
But then when you take it and you do this to it. Sorry. You get a complete different representation of it. So we're going to give him also tickets to see Jane Lynch's Swingin' Little Christmas. And tickets are on sale. The show is not until December 2nd. And it will be at the Keswick Theater. You can get tickets at keswicktheater.com. All right. Let's start doing...
Some ones that might be a little bit more approachable. Yeah. All right. So let me see who is up next here. Trying to get people who have been on hold the longest. Right, right. And it is, we're going to go to Rob next. Hi, Rob. You are on the air. Good morning, bud. Hey, good morning. How you doing? Good, Rob. All right. We got a fresh one for Loop. There it is. You ready to try this out? Yeah. All right. Listen closely. Let's see if we can identify this edit. Here we go.
I think this one is very gettable. It's an EKG. Rob, do you know what song that is? Is that Smoke on the Water? It is not Smoke on the Water. I guess so. Thank you for playing, though, bud. All right, we will go next to David. Hi there, David. Hey, how are you? Good, bud. All right, we're playing Loop. There it is. You ready to hear it again? I'm ready. Get this one. Here it comes.
You got nothing. You got nothing on that? Wow. All right, buddy. Thanks for trying anyway. You guys all know what it is, right? Yeah. I think I do. All right. We'll try one more on the phone lines and then we got to go via text if we can't get somebody that way. All right. It is Jason who is up next. Hey, Jason. Hey, Jason.
Yo. Yo, you ready, bud? I'm ready. I'm ready. All right, here it is. All right, Jason, you know this, right? What is that? Oh, yeah. Seven Nation Army. Seven Nation Army. Hang on the line.
And now you hear it. Yep. All right, so we are going to give you tickets. A four-pack of passes to join us at Hershey Park for the live broadcast tomorrow morning as we do it again. It's been years, but we are excited about this live broadcast. And, yeah, hang on, Jason. We'll get you info. We'll get you free parking in the park. It's going to be a wonderful day tomorrow morning. All right, we're going to queue up another one, K. So you can pick any one you want. All right, we're ready to rock then. All right, let me go to...
Let's see. Yeah, we're going to go next to Brandon. Brandon. Hey, Brandon, you there? Yeah, I'm here, man. All right, Brandon, we got a fresh one. Want to take a shot at it? All right, listen closely. Here is your loop. Marissa's creating remixes here, too, if you think about it. All right. I got this one. Brandon, do you happen to know what that is?
I think it's Offspring, but I'm not sure what the song's called. Oh, come on. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. Yeah, I'm not even sure, to be honest. Do you know any Offspring titles? You at least should take a shot at it. What's that? All right. Sorry, Brandon. Nothing. All right, we will go next to Sandy. Now we have Sandy. Hey, Sandy, are you there? Hey, bitches. Hey, what? All right, Sandy. I'm going to play it again. You ready?
Yep. All right, here we go. All right, Sandy. What song is that? Is that Pretty Fly for a white guy? Yeah! Most deaf hang on the line. Don't leave me laughing at all.
Right there. That's where the sample comes from. All right. And since you got it right, Sandy, you're going to be joining us tomorrow at Hershey Park for a pack of tickets for you and the family. Congratulations.
Case, I've not been keeping track of how many of the Hershey Park tickets I've been giving away. I've not been keeping track of them. I have no idea. That was only the second pair. That was only the second pair? Oh, okay. Yeah, because we've given away a few of the other ones, which I didn't keep track of either. Yeah, I got you there. I didn't know I was doing that. Now, if it was the other, I would not be keeping track of that as well. All right, we will go next to John with a new one for Loop. There it is. John, morning, bud.
Sorry to bother you guys at work. All good, man. We're playing a game. You ready to go? Yes, sir. This is a new one. Here it is. I love this one. Yeah. All right, John, any idea what song that is? I cannot. I can't hear it clearly on my phone. You can't hear it clearly on your phone? Everybody else could. Sorry, man. All right, next time. All right, we will go next to Joe. Hi, Joe. Hi, Joe.
Hey, Joe. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. All right, Joe. We're playing loop. There it is. You ready for it? Uh, yeah. All right. Here it comes. All right, Joe. What song? All right. Sounds like ACDC. Am I on the right track? I'm not going to tell you. I'm not going to tell you. All right, all right. You just have to, you got to give us a song title. All right, all right, all right. One second, fellas. One second, one second. Okay. All right. Uh-huh.
Come on. Google it as fast as you can. I'm going to turn this down. He's singing a joke song. Name the first ACDC song that comes to your mind. Three. Two. Sorry, Joe. He didn't realize I gave him a clue. All right, we'll go to Ryan. Hey, Ryan.
What's up, buddy? All right. We're going to give you another. We're going to give you a shot at this. And if you don't get it, we're going to a text. Are you ready? Got it. Here we go. All right.
You need a title, Ryan. I'm just going to say Back in Black. That is incorrect. Sorry, man. You tried, but you failed. And we'll see if we can get a texter who can get this correct. It's tough, and when you hear it, then you won't be able to unhear it, what the correct one is. All right, we are going to go... Chris is going to pull somebody up. But a reminder...
that tomorrow morning is we broadcast live to tune in, even if you don't win tickets. And also, we had a deal where you could purchase... Discounted? Discounted tickets for the event. And details at WMMR.com, so check that when you get the opportunity. All right, which one am I going to, Marissa? Oh, you're still calling them up? Okay. Hang on one second. But we will, of course...
be in Chocolate Town, as we talked about. Chocolate Town! And hopefully not too far from the new Twizzler Swing, which I understand Casey's definitely going to try and ride. I'm going to try and get out there tonight, maybe ride a couple rides ahead of that. We're fairly close to Candemonium? Is that the name of it? I think that's the name of the coaster. Alright, we're going to go to Katie, see if she knows what song that is. Katie, you there? I'm here. Katie, what song was that? Just me all night.
And you got it right. Hang on the line. Actually, this is what it sounds like. Yeah.
Katie, we are going to give you some tickets to go see our friends Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery along with Tim Davis at the Keswick Theatre Tuesday, December 2nd. And it is a great heartwarming holiday extravaganza, blend of comedy and music. And tickets on sale at keswicktheatre.com. All right, we got a fresh one lined up. And our next caller is going to be Matt, who we will go to. Hi, Matt. We're playing loop. There it is. How you doing, man?
Good. Hopefully I get an easy one. All right, man. Well, none of them are super easy. Some are more well-known titles, and I think this one is very well-known, so you got a good shot at it. You ready, Matt? All right, let's do it. All right, listen closely. Here is your loop. Here we go.
Wow, that's hard. But that's a perfect example of listening to the very beginning of it because that's where I got it. Okay. And if you can focus on that. Matt? It's so low on the phone. You know what? I'll play it one more time for you, okay? Yeah. All right, listen. Here we go. All right, I turned it up about as loud as it'll go. So, Matt, what do you think?
I got nothing. All right. We will go over to Joe and let him take a shot at it. Joe, it's loop. There it is. You ready, man? Yeah. All right. Listen closely. This is your clip. All right, Joe. What you got?
It's hard. I don't... I can't get it. Okay. I don't know it. All right, thanks. Yo, I love you. I love you anyway. All right, we'll go to Rob next. Hey, Rob. You're on the air, bud. What's up, YouTube brownie? All right. Cool word. We are playing Loop. There it is. You ready? Absolutely. Here it is. Here it is.
All right. You know this, Rob. What is it? Absolutely. First thing, Brian and Joey suck. Second thing, it's Red Hot Chili Peppers. Dude. So third thing, it's not the band. We need the title. And the band's wrong anyway. So incorrect, buddy. But those guys still suck. Yeah. And those guys still suck. Brian and Joey suck. All right.
I appreciate little moments like that. We got to carry the message forth. Just throwing a little something, something out there for the gang. Oh, man. But no, I will tell you this. It is not Red Hot Chili Peppers. He thought for sure. But we do need a title. Yeah. If you do know the band, we got to know the title of the song. That is how the game works. But yeah, that was a hard one. And I mean, that is a very well-known, extremely popular song.
And the fact that it's that hard to get and it's that well-known is just an illustration of how hard this game actually is. Why did Milton Hershey ever come up with it? You know, come on, man. Do you know he started in the caramel business? He did. He did.
Carolyn was the first. You know how you know that because the documentary runs in the hotel. If you stay at the Hershey Lodge, you see the story of Milton Hershey as it just plays on a loop and it's actually... It's great. You can get caught up in it. It's from the History Channel. Have you
You guys ever go to the museum in town? Yes. Yeah, it's great. It is. Listen, it's all that stuff. The work that he did. Of course, the amusement park is amazing. And the school is really was pretty ingenious what he came up with. So we will be immersed in all things Hershey tomorrow morning. And we'll be sharing all the information that we gleaned from that. So, Meriz is working on getting somebody, but having some difficulties in...
contacting some pipples. It's hard to contact pipples. It is. From time to time you come into difficulties when you're pipple contacting. But you're a pipple person. I am a pipple person. Pipples is pipple. A lot of people on the text board are getting it. Yeah, I saw that. You're talking about the text board pipples? It's very cute. My friend Tim just texted me. Right band, wrong song, bro. Well, Matt Teedy got it.
Oh, he got the band. He got the band right, but the song was wrong. Okay. My friend got it right. The band, but it was wrong. What he said was wrong.
All right, we're having... We're having difficulties with our email. With our pipples. With our pipples. Yes. New phone system, which was probably new 30 years ago. Oh, my God. I'm so sick of this delay on this phone. It's horrible. It's driving me absolutely batty. Let's just air all our dirty laundry right now. Let's do it. On the air. Let's go. They got to fix that. But we do have a phone, which is at least a quantum leap forward. Yeah. All right, we now have someone. We've got a pipple named Danielle that's joining us. Hi, Danielle. Are you there?
Good morning. Good morning. Danielle, tell everyone what that song is. It's Don't Stop Believin'. Yes, she is. Don't Stop Believin' from Journey. Hang on. And we are giving Danielle a pair of tickets to see our friends Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery and Tim Davis at the Keswick Theater Tuesday, December 2nd for their holiday extravaganza. So here was...
Here's the actual clip of the song. It's right before the... Right at the end of that little guitar flourish and then dives into it. So that is a tough one, man. Yes. All right. Well, let's cue up another one. And...
Hold on, Marissa is waving. We are officially out of Jane Lynch tickets, so only call or text if you can go to Hershey Park tomorrow. Very good. Thank you for that. All right, so we will speak to only people who are available for the Hershey Live broadcast tomorrow. Did we lose the clips? No, no, no, no. I'm just trying to figure out which one I want to go. I'm going to go with this one. We only have two left, so. All right, we will go to Josh. Hey, Josh, you're on the air, bud.
Hey, man, what's happening? Yeah, bud, playing loop. There it is. You ready to go? Yeah, we'll give it a shot over here. All right. Here is the clip. Let's see if you can name it. Wow, this is a hard one. I love this song and this band, but I would have a hard time getting this. Josh, how are you faring? What do you think?
Well, thanks for the hardest one so far. Hi-oh. F-bomb means no. Sorry, buddy. We got to let you go. Is this the band, Preston? It is. No, it's not. No. Okay. But you're in the right ballpark. Am I? Okay. There are members of that band that are in this band. Okay, yeah. So let me go next to Mike. Yo, Mike, you're on the air. Good morning. Good morning.
Gadzooks. Gadzooks. All right, Mike, let's throw this one at you. You ready? Yeah. All right, here we go. ♪♪♪
People are getting it on the text board. Yeah, it's gettable. I'm around it, apparently. Mike, you know what that is? Audio slave like a stone. There we go. Okay. Well done. So Chris Cornell, right?
Mike, hang on the line. We're going to get your information. And we are going to give you a four-pack of tickets and free parking to join us for the live broadcast tomorrow at Hershey Park. And by the way, you'll be able to get in and watch the show. You get early admission, access to some of the rides and attractions before the general public. So here is the full clip of that. Such a great song. It is a great song.
And great loop, Marissa. Nice job. All right, so we have one more four-pack of tickets to give away to Hershey. So this, hopefully, will be our last one. We've only got a couple of these left.
I had already marked that, so we actually have two left, it looks like, I think. Do we? Yeah, we only have one song left, though. One loop song. Oh, we only have one. Oh, yeah. All right, so we got to get a winner on this, and we'll hold on to those to give away elsewhere. Who has been on hold the longest? All right, let's go to... Or no, Mike is the guy who just won, right? Yeah. I just hung up on him. That's okay. We go up to line one. Yeah. And let's...
I keep touching it and it's not responding. I think when we have other people on the phone in the other room that it, there we go. Now I got Brian. Hey, Brian, are you there? Hey, Brian, can you hear me, bud? Can you hear me? I can hear you. Absolutely. Loud and clear. All right. Last loop. You ready to play? Yeah. All right. Listen closely. What song is this? All right. You ought to get that, Brian.
He hung up? Oh my God. Wow. All right, we will go to another caller. We will go to Miles. Hey, Miles. Hey, how you doing? Good, Miles. All right, this is our last loop. You ready, bud? Yeah. Here it is. That's a solid track. It is, yes. All right, Miles, what is that? Miles, can you hear me?
Oh, I was listening to you. Miles? Go on. Okay, we lost him too. We will have, at least give us an answer, folks. That'd be nice. All right, we will go next to Tina. Hi there, Tina. Hey, Preston. Hey, Steve. Hey, how are you? I'm good. Do you think you can get this? Remember Smith walked this way? No. Oh.
I was going to play it again for you, but no, that is incorrect. Sorry, we got to let you go. So that means we got to get a texter to see if they know. So keep calls. Marissa says keep doing that. I would say yeah. All right, so let me go to line two and we'll try Rob out for a shot at this. Hey, Rob, are you there, bud? Yes, I am. All right, Rob. It's me again, guys. Oh, Rob. It's you again?
Guys, yes, I don't have an answer. I just wanted to say Brian and Joey still suck. I love you guys. Yes! I'm tempted to give him the ticket. He's gone. He's gone. Ah, damn it! Listen, can you call again on Friday? Yeah. Rob is invited to call back and tell us those guys suck anytime. All right, we will go to Sue and see if she can name it. Hi, Sue, are you there? Hi, Sue, can you hear me?
Yeah, hi. All right, Sue, I'm going to play the loop. You ready? Go ahead. All right, here we go. All right, Sue, what song is that? I Hate Myself for Loving You. Yeah, but nice try. Nope, that's incorrect. All right, we got to get a winner. All right, we'll go to Cindy. Hi, Cindy. Hi, good morning. All right, Cindy, you ready to play this? Yes. All right, you got this. Here it is.
All right. Come on, Cindy. Bring it home. I love rock and roll by Joan Jett. That is correct. Yes. We actually had a number of callers guess a couple different Aerosmith songs or texters. I got it. Which I was surprised. Some thought it was Ragdoll. Yeah. Which is interesting. But Cindy, you're joining us at Hershey Park tomorrow. That's awesome. Thank you.
You got it. Hang on. We'll get your information. And you get in or get early access before the general public. You get to hang out with us, maybe catch a few of the rides before everybody else rides them. And we congratulate you. So all who are joining us tomorrow, don't forget that you can join us. Or even if you're not joining us tomorrow, this summer you can go all in on the Epic Thrills. There are 15 coasters. Make up the largest collection in the Northeast. Plus, get ready for the all-new Twizzlers Twisted Gravity, the world's tallest scream and swing, which, of course, we will be talking about later.
A bunch tomorrow. So that is a run on May. Luke, there it is. Love it. Thank you, Marissa Magnano. Yes, you did a great job.
Doing all the work to put those together and Sam juggling all the calls and stuff. We appreciate that. That went well. You know, I thought it was assisted by the delay. I think that really helped. I think that really helped it. Yeah. All right. With that, we're going to take a quick break. Come back in just a moment or two. So make sure you stay close, friend. We'll return shortly.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. I got a text from Ann Coles out of New Jersey. And she said, we went to Hershey on Sunday. And that swing was intense and awesome. And then she said, and the Jolly Rancher remix was the best. What do you think?
Wildcat, I think my spleen split open. And Lightning slash Thunder, I lost my appendix. Wow. To any parkour, that's a rave. I like the Wildcat. The Wildcat is an old school wooden roller coaster. That is definitely a fun one. And yeah, there's some fantastic rides there.
I'm looking forward to taking them out for a spin. And we're going to have a little bit of an experience with it as well. But the animals, the zoo. Zoo America? Yeah. It's tremendous. Yeah. So they're going to bring by some while we are doing the broadcast and all that. So tune in if you can't be there in person tomorrow. Nick sent me over this article. It's really interesting. And it is a list of...
It's called the Top 21 Scene Performances. And essentially, it is actors who show up in a movie for one single scene and then they are gone.
And it can be, you know, a really famous, almost kind of pseudo cameo. Sure. Or just somebody, a character shows up and that's all we see. But it's usually somebody, you know, that should be in the movie more, but they are in one particular scene. And it's pretty cool. And I'm going to roll through these in a second. And if there are some missing ones, you can add them in. Press, you and I were just talking about Matthew Lillard and his one scene in the life of Chuck. Yeah. Yeah.
Matthew Lillard delivers a home run in the life of Chuck. Grand slam. He's talking and it took me a moment. I was like, I know that guy because he's kind of got a beard. And I haven't seen Matthew Lillard in a little while. I'm like, son of a bitch. That's him. And he was great.
He delivers a really, really good performance. I love hearing this because he's been... Like, he hit a level with his career and he was loving it. He does the convention round, but I think a lot of people forgot that he's pretty damn capable. I'm glad to hear that. Long time ago, he was in our studio, Y100. Yeah. And he was...
I think he was promoting one of the movies, Up the Creek, maybe? Yeah. Or Without a Paddle, I think. Or Without a Paddle. With Seth Green. Yeah, and he was talking about... And at the time, his star was still risen. And he was talking about, dude, someday people are going to be hiring Shaggy to come to a kid's birthday party. And that's going to be me. And he had a real...
His career didn't flounder like that, but it certainly cooled off quite a bit. Yeah, but he was in a cool place. He does the convention rap, but you hear that he's delivering a great performance, and he's just in one scene. And I think we had him on for an alcohol. Yeah, his wine. I thought it was bourbon. It might be. It's a hard-based thing. Or whiskey, yeah. He was in studio. Is that what he was promoting? No, that time was on the phone. But he's been here in the studio before as well. We've had him by a couple of times.
I remember meeting him here because he was wearing a Dodgers hat, but he was a really easy, cool conversation. How long is his scene in The Life of Chuck? It's like three minutes. Okay. Yeah, something like that. And it's a nice chunk of dialogue, but it was really pleasant to see him. So I'll give you a few of these examples.
And if you want to throw some out, and I'll let you know whether they're on this list or not. But one of them is Scott Pilgrim versus the world. Chris Evans. Chris Evans is terrific. Has got a sequence in that. And so does Superman. The guy that was in Superman Returns. Yeah. He is one of the evil exes. He's excellent. And there's some really good ones. He's very bitchy. But Chris Evans is...
I think he's the second one. Yeah. He's got that sort of almost Wolverine hairstyle. Yeah, and he's a skater. Yeah. It's called the grind, bro. He was excellent in that. So that's an example of these one-scene performances. All right, now you guys are going to kill me.
But I've never seen The Big Lebowski. I know. Oh, wow. That's okay. I know. I think you will enjoy it when you see it, so that's something to look forward to. All right, now I'm sure, because I know that movie, like, The Back of My Nuts. I'm trying to think of... I don't know The Back of My Nuts that well. Yeah, um...
Do you want me to give you the name? You need a mirror. No, I was just trying to think of what one scene stands out in that movie. It's obscure, and the actor is obscure, so I don't think you're going to get it. I don't know the name. You know the actor, though. Okay. Yeah. David Thewlis. Yeah. T-H-E-W-L-I-S. You know how you know him, Preston, is that he's Lupin in the Harry Potter world. Oh!
He's a great actor. And Casey, he's the same dude who ends up in one of the seasons of Fargo with the guy that picks his teeth with the toothpick, which is really difficult and uncomfortable to watch. He's a really great actor. And his scene in Big Lebowski is, like most of the movie, really strange. It's him, Julianne Moore, and he kind of like giggles the whole time. He doesn't have a lot of dialogue.
Okay. He's the same guy that played the bad guy in the Wonder Woman movie. Yes. Yes. He's excellent. Yeah. So that scene is on here. We also have, I never saw it. Now, a few of these I didn't see. If Beale Street Could Talk. Yeah. Good movie. Brian Tyree Henry. Okay. Yeah, we had him in for his series. Takes place here.
I don't remember him. Dope Thief? Yeah. Okay. Remember you watched Trailer Park Boys instead or something like that? Yes. No, it was a totally wrong show. You're right. By the way, Dope Thief is really good. So make sure you check it out. What is it?
Deli boys. You came in and he would not. You bravely let him know, but he kept jumping back on that. When is this going to get to the part that he told me about? He said something about it, too. He cracked a joke at one point towards the end of the interview. He's like, you know, this or deli boys, whatever you want to watch. May I mention one?
that is... Yeah, please. I'll let you know whether it's on here or not. Yeah, and it is one of the legendary ones. It is Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. That's number one on the list. Stop it. Wow. Number one on the list. Do you want to know that that does not exist in the original play, that character? They wrote it for him. They wrote it. So he's friends with David Mamet and David Mamet said, okay, so that very...
sort of quintessential part of glengarry glen ross where he comes in yeah you know you win steak knives you know yeah uh always be closing yeah um it's brutal yeah it's brutal and that was written for alec baldwin wow and so glengarry glen ross is a originally a play right yes and was it
Who was it written by? David Mamet. So he was able to... David Mamet said... He was okay with that. Right, because there was an offer. And Alec Baldwin said, I want in on this. Because the movie was Pacino and Jack Lemmon and Ed Harris. And he's like, oh my God, this is going to be amazing. And so he created that sequence for the movie. All right. How about this one? JFK, Donald Sutherland. Donald Sutherland is a terrific... He's the one who's... When they're sitting on the mall...
he's saying this is how things work here in D.C. He talks about how an Australian paper had reported it before it happened or something like that. All these things. He gives them all this inside info. He's great. It's a really good scene. You know what? And this is...
we were just mentioning this the other day, Steve. Another one from Donald Sutherland would be in Backdraft. Backdraft, he's the arsonist. Yeah, the pyromaniac. Yeah. And it's not a great movie, but his scene is really, really good. Donald Sutherland, for crying out loud. We have some calls. I'm going to go to, let me go to AJ. Hi, AJ. Good morning. Hey, morning, guys. How you doing? Good, buddy. All right, so you wanted to add one, a one-scene performance from an actor or actress.
Yeah, actually, two. Both from the same Kevin Smith movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Both hilarious scenes. One's with Carrie Fisher when they're driving in the car with her. She's like a nun. The other is with George Carlin. He's flagging them down on the road looking for a ride. Yeah, and his method of paying is by giving oral. Yeah, he says, hey, listen, if you give me a couple hundred miles, I'll take a shot in the mouth. The rules of the road. The rules.
Good call, AJ. Appreciate it, man. Yeah, those are both solid. On this list is In 12 Years a Slave, Alfie Woodard. I only watched that movie one time. That is such a...
destroying movie so incredibly powerful yeah um and yes she is excellent i'm trying to remember um is it one scene that she's in or is it yeah all these are one scene only um and i kind of edited the list because there are people uh in the comment section that were like oh this is great this is great but they would show up in two scenes so right this scene is or this list is one scene only
All right, here's one. Little Shop of Horrors, Bill Murray. Yeah. Yeah. So if you want a Little Shop of Horrors again, Jack Nicholson. In the original Little Shop of Horrors, Jack Nicholson is the masochist patient who gets all his teeth yanked. We went to the stage show of this on Broadway once.
um and they left that character out oh what i mean the dentist is there yeah and this is the musical right right uh and so yeah they they had seymour go to the dentist obviously but they did not have the uh masochist uh patient who was just before you awesome yeah uh let me go to steve on the phone say steve good morning good morning fellas what's happening steve
Hey, I got a scene, and it's Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction. Oh, yeah. With the watch. Yes. Yeah. It's a great scene. It's a total Quentin Tarantino dialogue, that whole thing, and the camera angle that's on him as he's talking down to the sun. Yep. It's hilarious. Thanks, Steve. Appreciate it. I love his line. I had this uncomfortable hunk of metal in my ass for two years. Yeah.
Number two on the list. That's number two? Yeah. Oh, I missed that. Yep. Well done. Very well done. Do you know it's another one that's popping up here? And it's, I would say it's a real pivotal moment in Boogie Nights, Alfred Molina. Yes. And he is on this list. That is, where is this? This is number six on this list. He freaks out when they're-
I just saw an interview with him. It was on Instagram. Right, yeah. Popped up. It was a snippet of an interview. And he's talking about that very scene. Yeah. And he said that the guy, the young Asian actor, and he didn't remember his name, but sitting there was Mark Wahlberg and Thomas Jane and John C. Reilly. He said the kid that was lighting the fireworks, who directed the movie? It's Paul...
Paul Thomas Anderson? Paul Thomas Anderson. Told the kid with the fireworks, he's like...
Set him off whenever you want. Yeah, yeah. Like there was no... To throw him off. Yeah. There was no specific, you know, moment or cue for him to light these fireworks. He literally was just doing it whenever he wanted to. And Alvaro Molina was saying the tight shot on the guys on the couch of them jumping. Yeah. That's because he said also that they were full bore, wide open fireworks. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like they were not...
props. They were the real deal. And he said, when you see them jumping like that, it's because it scared the crap out of them every single time. That scene is supposed to be because he's supposed to be John Holmes, Mark Wahlberg, basically. That is the Wonderland murders that took place. That sequence is supposed to mimic that. It's a bit of Laurel Canyon legend. It's so great and it's so tense. The way that they build the tension is fantastic. Casey, do you know what song is playing while they're in that scene? Oh,
I do. Yeah, Sister Christian. Oh, is it really? That's right. Alfred Molina's character loves that song and he lets it build up. Alright, let's see what else we have. Let me go, hang on, let's get John on. He wants to comment on this. Hey John, good morning. Hey guys, what's happening? Do you have one to add to this list? One scene performance by an actor.
I do, but I'm concerned that I haven't heard from Sammy Vile in a couple weeks. I'm hoping he's okay. I'm going to reach out. We'll check out. Yes, absolutely. I know he was taking vacation with Gary Lauer. Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2. Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 is actually a great one because you don't actually, he's in a couple of scenes, but you don't see him because he's invisible. That's right. And the one scene you see him get, where he makes the appearance, is on the high-tension wire.
Yeah, you see him literally in like one or two frames. If you freeze frame it, you can see Brad Pitt being electrified. And yeah, you hear his voice and he's the actor portraying it. But you actually only see him very, very, very briefly. That's a very good one. Yeah. All right. Thanks, John. Appreciate it. If you see Sammy Vile, look out for him. All right. What about Gary Oldman as Drexel in True Renaissance? Is he only in that one scene? Ah.
I think he's in more than one scene, Case. Okay. You do have, and we mentioned this, Christopher Walken in True Romance is a one and only. His scene with Dennis Hopper. Which is crazy. Yeah, that's what Mike was going to say on the phone. Oh, I'm sorry. We got it, though. Thank you, bud. But yes, I agree. He's great in that one, too. Now, is that, that's not the only scene for Dennis Hopper. He's in, because he plays the dad. There's another one, yeah, where Christian Slater goes to him and Christian Slater's
basic well that whole sequence is amazing super tense super taut and super unarable actually the Brad Pitt scene in True Romance is great too where he's smoking a bong that's right we made a bong out of a honey bottle after that it was very popular alright from the movie Scream it says Drew Barrymore yeah it was in the opening scene and that's it that's right she doesn't do well after that in fact somebody wants to mention Scream so let me go to Eric
Hi, Eric. You're on. Good morning. You guys rock. Thank you, brother. What do you want to add?
So in Scream 3, they're basically filming the story of what happened through the last two movies, and they have actors that look like the characters from the actual movie. So Courtney Cox's character and her doppelganger go down to the basement to talk to a press person or something. It turns out to be Carrie Fisher. That's pretty cool. And she's not playing herself.
She's not playing herself, but she's like... At the end, they're like, oh, well, what happened? Oh, well, I can't, blah, blah, blah. They bribe her or whatever. And at the end, she's like... She starts complaining about auditioning for Star Wars, and she's like...
So, and who ended up getting the part? Oh, the one that did sleep with George Lucas. Solid. All right. Thanks, Eric. Appreciate it. You know, I'm looking at one list that is completely wrong because it says Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. He's a main character. He's not one scene that he steals. Yeah, correct. But you know who is? Matt Damon is...
In which Marvel movie? Where he's in the acting scene. Ragnarok. Ragnarok, yes. That's perfect. But also in Tropic Thunder, who is...
Robert Downey Jr.'s love interest when they make that trailer. It's Tobey Maguire. Excuse me, Tobey Maguire. You're right. That's a perfect example of that. Oh, my God, that is so funny. He's caressing the rosary? Yes. Oh, my God. Yesterday, we were watching. My family wanted to do a dinner and a movie, so Carter randomly picked...
The Nutty Professor. And so we watched that. And of course it made me think of Tropic Thunder because the Jack Black movie series is a direct parody of the family playing all the characters and farting at the table. I forgot what that family was called. The
Like the Fartons or something like that? Something stupid like that. But, yeah. So, other ones on this list. Planes, trains, and automobiles. It says Eddie McClurg. Edie. Edie McClurg. Who's that? She's the rental car. She's also the assistant in Ferris Bueller. Yeah. To the principal. And she just... Did she just pass? No, she's sick. She has severe dementia. Oh, no. But her scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is fantastic. Okay.
Let me ask you this. Back to school, does she only have that one scene, Casey, where she's in the class taking dictation? I think so. Marge Sweetwater. So, yeah, character actors will be like that. Yes. For sure. Oh, man. Yeah, she's great.
Here's one that people don't probably remember. It's in one of my favorite movies of all time and incredibly prescient. Network, which is written by the great Paddy Chayefsky, but Beatrice Strait plays William Holden's wife who is being...
cheating on her with Faye Dunaway, but she got an Oscar nomination for like a three-minute performance. Really? Yeah. Steve, from that same movie, it says on this list, Ned Beatty is only in one scene. Ned Beatty is the, you know, there are no countries. There's only, you know, Exxon.
And he goes, it's a brilliant scene. And I think he might have been nominated for that as well. I don't know, but it says that was the only scene in the movie that he's in. That he's in. Yeah, he's the head of everything. All right, now I never saw Atonement.
Oh, I saw that. Yeah, it's set in Ireland, right? With not Helen Mirren, but the other older English actress. The hell's her name? Judy Dench? Judy Dench. Yeah. Dame Judy Dench. So there's one scene with Vanessa Redgrave.
Okay. And I wouldn't know what that is. I might be wrong about what I'm saying. Nick, am I wrong? I don't know. I've not seen it either, Casey. So it's got James McAvoy, Keira Knightley. Saoirse Ronan. Yeah. You're so wrong but so right. Oh, Juno Temple's in it too. Alfie Allen from Game of Thrones. Benedict Cumberbatch from your Doctor Strange movies. Uh-huh. Yeah, Case, I don't see Judy Dench. No, I'm trying to figure out which movie I'm thinking of. In fact, I don't even see, is it Brenda Brevlin? She looks black.
Blathing live. Blathing live. Blathing live. Accepting. Blathing live for you. Harriet Walter, I don't see any older English ladies in the cast. I think you're thinking of a different movie. I definitely am. You're probably thinking of two girls and an English lady. Same plot. Two girls and a crumpet. Yeah. And a tea service. All right, here's one for you, Steve. You'll like this one. Blue Velvet. Yes. Dean Stockwell. Yeah, he's excellent. He sings the song. No, he sings...
Not Blue Velvet. What song is he singing? He holds the light. Is it Blue Velvet that he's singing? Okay. Yeah. I thought there was a different one. There's an actor that you may not be familiar with, but he is a scene-keeler. He's a scene-stealer in a movie that I love, Constantine with Keanu Reeves, and he plays the devil. And I think he might be, pound for pound, one of the best presentations of the devil ever committed to film. Hang on. We got some calls. I have somebody who's on the line.
Hi, caller. What is your name and are you okay? Hey, that's Sammy Vile. I'm all good. Okay, all right. We were worried. Yeah, all good. All right, Sammy. Thanks, buddy. We love you. See ya. Yep. He's okay. He's okay. Let's see. We will go to Jerry next. Hi, Jerry. Morning, bud.
Morning, everyone. All right, Jerry, who would you add to this list of one scene performances? Well, it's an oldie but a goodie. Carnal Knowledge with Jack Nicholson and Margaret. He's dissatisfied with Ann-Margaret. Go figure. Yeah. The very end of the movie, he goes to see a prostitute.
Rita Moreno. Wow. And her monologue at the end of that movie, I would say, is to put it in the word stimulating. No kidding. What's the name of the movie? Cardinal Knowledge. It was a very boundary-pushing movie when it came out. Yeah, very risque at the time. Ann-Margaret shows a little skin. Yeah. So there's that. But yeah, it's her monologue at the very end of the movie.
Yeah, Jack Milkston goes to see her. Okay. And I thought it was outstanding. Excellent. All right. Thanks, Jerry. Appreciate it. I'm not familiar with that one. I'll have to go check that out.
Steve, here's another great one. Young Frankenstein, Gene Hackman. Gene Hackman as the blind hermit. Yep. That's great. Which is a direct parody from the hermit scene in Bride of Frankenstein. Yeah, and in fact, he ad-libbed some of that. He did. I think the espresso might have been... Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that whole sequence is just brilliant. All right, Blade Runner 2049. It says Dave Bautista. Yeah, he gets whacked in the beginning by one of the Blade Runners. God, I'm having a brain fart now from...
The Fall Guy and Barbie and... Ryan Gosling? Ryan Gosling, yeah. And the movie is... It actually is directed by the same director who directed the Dune films, Preston. Okay. Oh, Villeneuve. Yeah. The movie Doubt. What was that about? Doubt is... Doubt. Doubt. What it's about. Ladies and gentlemen, Nick McElwain. Is it about the newspaper? Oh, no, no, no, no. I remember Nick just pulled up the... It's...
It's about the Catholic Church and molesting children. Right, with the newspaper. Philip Seymour Hoffman. Right, right. Yeah? No, no, no. The whole thing takes place at a church, and it's a school as well, and Philip Seymour Hoffman is getting really close to this one African-American boy and...
Meryl Streep is a member of the clergy. That's right. She starts to notice some things. It's an intense movie. Steve, you're thinking of Spotlight. Spotlight. That's it. And so Viola Davis plays the mom of the boy and sits down and gives a very powerful performance of why...
She kind of knows what's going on, but doesn't do anything about it because the husband is abusive. Yeah. And if he found out about that. It would be worse. Then it would be even worse. It's a really complex moment. And she's really, really good in that. This list I'm just casually looking at here brings up one that's really a scene stealer, which is William Hurt in History of Violence. Oh, yeah. But he's in more than one scene. Is he? Mm-hmm.
Wait a minute. No, you're right. Ed Harris is the one who travels to see him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's in a couple scenes, but they go to his house. Yeah, dude. Yeah, you're right. That's really good. Do you guys like s'mores? I made some.
Fargo. It says Steve Park in Fargo. I haven't seen Fargo in ages. That's the scene where she goes to the restaurant. He's the Korean-American gentleman. He has a funny North Dakota accent, or maybe Japanese-American. And he talks about sort of the crush that he had on her, on Frances McDormand when they were kids.
And then he tries to like sit on the other side of the table with her. It's a really uncomfortable scene, but it's a great scene. And his performance in it, like he ends up crying at the end of it. It's really well done. All right. Hang on. This is a good one. I'm going to go to Steve. Hey, Steve, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good, man. So we're talking about one scene performances from well-known actors. Who do you want to add to the list?
So I got a couple from the same movie, the movie Anchorman, the fight scene with all the different news teams. You got Tim Robbins and Ben Stiller, like the Spanish news team. And then towards the end of the movie, Danny Trejo is the bartender. It's all...
So Tim Robbins does return. He has a couple scenes in that movie. He's the one, I believe, when he pushes over the ladder when Christina Aguilera. Oh, he does? Yeah, I really admire what you're doing. Then he pushes the ladder over. And Danny Trejo is the bartender who's trying to give him some advice. And he says, I don't speak Spanish. And he's been speaking English all the time.
Thank you, by the way, Steve. One of my favorite Tim Robbins moments, because they're PBS. Yes, yeah. And they're like, PBS? We didn't even know you guys counted. He goes, no commercials, no mercy! I love it. I love it. Here's one for you as well. The Matrix...
Gloria Foster. Who's that? She's the Oracle. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And so, and in fact, they didn't bring her back. The actress in the next movie that involved the Oracle. Did she die or something? Sure.
That's a good question. One of them did. Maybe it was the one they brought back. I think you might be right, Case. Yeah, because I thought they brought back a different person who the lady, I believe, was like a house mother in a different world. You're thinking of the house bunny. No. She was in The Matrix and then The Matrix reloaded. I forget which one...
what the orders were. She was in the first one and then reloaded. So is she still alive? She's dead now. The actress is dead, but she was in those two Matrix movies. So she's not doing any more Matrix movies. I guess she's not doing any more Matrix movies seeing that she's dead. This guy here is dead. Let's go to... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is solid. Hey, Paul, you're on the air. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, bud. All right, so what do you want to add to this list? One-scene performances.
Ethel Merman. Airplane. Ethel Merman in an airplane. Where the guy is suffering from post-traumatic stress. He's in there in a veteran's hospital. And the doctor casually says he thinks he's Ethel Merman. And they cut to Ethel Merman in a bed. And she starts singing, everything's coming up roses. Brilliant, Paul. I read that book about the making of an airplane. And...
That was like one of the brothers, the Zucker Brothers. The Zucker Brothers, did they? Yeah, Zucker Brothers and Matt Brock. So they did, their mom was blown away. Like Ethel Merman was just a shot in the dark. It was like a ridiculous concept. Hey, why don't we get Ethel Merman to do it?
And they reached out to her and she said, yeah, sure. And apparently it was just like one of those mothers was just beside herself. Oh, that's great. I love that. That they were able to get Ethel Merman for that real quick. It is so funny. It's so well done. That book is so worth reading, by the way. Especially if you're a fan of the movie, right? Oh, man. And the stuff that those guys went through, they had no business creating a movie. And they made a movie that...
the way a lot of people perceive comedies. It was so good. And the ballsy move that they didn't do the sequel. They didn't. They went on and did Top Secret. Here's a couple that are not on the list, and Nick thought of these.
He said he scrolled all the way through comments and nobody had mentioned Bronson Pinchot and Beverly Hills Cop. Which is a scene stealer, Surge. And that was ad-libbed. And he was back in the most recent one that they did. Yeah. Yeah. Akamil. Will Ferrell and Wedding Crashers.
Meatloaf. He's a meatloaf, Ma. The original wedding crasher. Well, actually. No, he's at the funeral scene. He's at the funeral scene. You're right, because they start crashing funerals, so that doesn't count. Sorry. And he starts doing the, I'm going to get some. Yep.
The Wolf of Wall Street, Matthew McConaughey. That's a great scene. Have you ever seen The Wolf of Wall Street? No. Okay, there's a scene where he's taking the young Leonardo DiCaprio. He's playing a real guy. I forget the guy's name.
But sitting at the table and he has his methodology of how to be a salesman. And he has this kind of war chant that he does where he's pounding on his chest. It is weird that, I mean, because it's McConaughey. And that's the only scene. And it's a really great scene. And he's a terrific character. And that's it. That's all you get of him in the entire movie. By the way, the word is, Scorsese directed that. The word is that McConaughey riffed that whole...
Oh, really? Yeah. I have seen that scene because I saw them discussing that. Right, right, right. About how it was his own routine and he just made it up. And that's the only scene he's in. That's the only scene. Oh, wow. Jordan Belfort, Steve. Jordan Belfort, yes. All right, hang on. Thank you. Whitewater Joe's on the line. Whitewater Joe. Let me go to him. It's been a while. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Nothing but hair.
I have no idea what that means. That means if you are whitewater rafting, that is, you call to the other rafters nothing but hair. That means that the rapids are not as volatile. Where did you get nothing but hair, Joe?
When you guys, a year and a half ago, you did the Vildo toss instead of the cornhole. Instead of nothing but net, it was nothing but air. I'm going to have to give Whitewater Joe a thumbs up on that. Thank you, Whitewater Joe. All right. What moment in a movie did you want to add to this list?
It's two really well-known characters, Billy Crystal and Carole Kane in The Princess Bride. Yeah, it's a great sequence. By the way, if you ever get a chance, Whitewater, I will say this. They shot, believe it or not, that day, they shot about three hours of that scene in
Because they were just letting Billy Crystal riff. And they whittled it down. And they actually had to keep stopping because Rob Reiner was laughing so much. I believe it. Yeah. I absolutely believe it. I know. It's one of my wife's favorite movies. We watch it all the time. Yeah. You get into the English actor. Carrie Elwes? Yeah.
the Wesley actor, she read his book and everything. I have the audio book you guys like to listen to. Right, right. Nice. Hey, but I'm up here in the Grand Canyon, Pennsylvania. Come and see me sometime. All right. Thanks, Whitewater Joe. I'll bring my boat. See you, bud. By the way, that was number three on this list.
of one-scene performances that stand out in the movie. So some good stuff, man. And every now and then you get that little nugget, that little jewel, that moment. That one person pops in and you're like, oh my God, look who it is. They love, in the Academy Awards, they love those actors who pop in or those scenes where you come out of left field and you provide just the perfect accent. And here's another one. So it's happening in series as well. And I'll give you a perfect example.
And sometimes people will win awards because they show up in just one episode of a long-running series. A guest star. And most recently on The Last of Us was Joe Pantoliano. Yes. Joey Pant. Yeah. I'll bet he gets nominated for something for that. Because it was a really intense scene. Yeah, it was.
And he, of course, played it to as great as he is. Yeah. Those are popping up now, you're seeing stuff like that. I was going to say Jamie Lee Curtis in The Bear, but she ended up becoming recurring. She had two. There was one episode where I was like, oh my God. The two super powerful episodes with her in one, it was the Thanksgiving meal. And then the maternity scene where you really get to see her actually...
despite all of her lunacy, there is a real caring person in there. If you have not watched The Bear...
There are humorous moments to it, but ignore the fact that it's constantly entered in the comedy sitcom category of the Golden Globes. It is not. But it is a great show. And season four is today. Today. Yeah. Released today on Hulu. The whole thing, by the way. Real quick, we're going to go to Nick. We're going to take a break in a second here. Hi, Nick. You're on the air. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, what's up, bud?
Hey, I'm doing good. How are you guys? Doing good. So who are we missing here? So first thing that came to mind when I was listening this morning was Chris Maloney in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Which one is he? What role does he play?
He plays freak show. If you guys watch the movie, he's the guy with the messed up face that they meet in the woods after they crash the car. And his super hot wife is Malin Ackerman. Yeah.
Yeah, Malin Ackerman. Yeah. Yeah, that's just the first thing that came to mind. I mean, hilarious movie from start to finish, but my God, his one scene in there is probably the funniest scene. He's terrific. He's under so many prosthetics, that's why I didn't recognize him, but he has pussy. Yeah, and then you get that gotcha moment where you're looking at his face and you're like, dude, is that Steve?
Nice. Thanks, Nick. I appreciate it. Nick, can you pull up the text? There were a couple there that I hadn't picked up on. Like, hang on a second. There was one up here.
Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore. Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah. Harlan Williams in There's Something About Mary. And Dumb and Dumber. And Dumb and Dumber. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. He has just one scene in those. A couple of people mentioned Val Kilmer in True Romance. He plays...
Yeah. But you just see a blurry reflection of him. Right, right. But I think it happens more than once. I think it does. Yeah, so that doesn't count as one scene, but that is pretty cool that he ended up playing that even though you have no idea who he is. Yeah, there's a bunch of good ones. Um...
There was, like, Kevin Bacon from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. He's just in that opening scene where they're racing to get the cab. Yes. Him and Steve Martin. And then other people were suggesting Matt Damon from Eurotrip. Scotty doesn't know. He's the singer of that band. That's a really good one. In Wedding Crashers, in the very beginning, is Dwight Yoakam and... From Risky Business. Rebecca Desmornay. Rebecca Desmornay, yeah. That's all that you see them as in that... They have a fight. Yep. They're the mediator. They have the mediators. What about...
Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo in National Lampoon's Vacation with Anne Helms. They're only in the one scene, right? I don't even remember. They're in the... They're seen going into the house. They're seen having dinner. If that constitutes one scene, yeah. Yeah.
Well, I'm sure there's some that we're missing, so feel free to email or text us. But somebody had said Keith Richards in Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh, yeah. Connor called in. Not the first one. No. Maybe two or three. Tom DeLuise in Schindler's List. No, he was not. Well, how about this one? History of the World. He's in one seat. Frank Sinatra.
Cannonball Run 2. Oh, wait. They go to visit him. Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford. Steve, in Xenoblade,
The Blues Brothers. Oh, Steve Lawrence. Steve Lawrence, yes. He's the booking agent. I got him laid. He owes me. He owes me. Oh, my God. There's so many good ones. Nice. Actually, The Blues Brothers is filled. Yes. With especially musicians. It's a cameo movie. Yeah. All right, well, cool. Nick, thank you for giving me this list. I love this type of stuff. Very, very good. All right, we're going to take a quick break. Come back in a second. We have some Bizarre File stories we think you're going to appreciate, so stick around. We'll come back with that in just a moment.

were injured by a reported lightning strike at a South Carolina lake yesterday. First responders assessed 8 adults and 12 minors for electrocution after reports of a lightning strike hitting the water. 12 of the patients were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. All patients are expected to recover. A preliminary storm report indicates the lightning struck around 4.43 p.m. Multiple fire, sheriffs, and emergency medical services agencies responded.
The park is expected to reopen today following safety assessments, but it's amazing that not one single person was severely injured, let alone killed in that whole thing. There's been a lot of lightning strike stories that we've come across lately.
A Virgin Airlines passenger was booted off a flight to Melbourne, Australia following a heated altercation that began over a fanny pack. And this guy's never been with a woman? No, it's a woman I think is actually was kicked off. So the flight attendant, the flight had been waiting to take off from Perth on Friday when the woman began to act erratically.
Crew members had asked that the 28-year-old flyer remove her bag for takeoff, but she repeatedly declined. How about just for fashion purposes? She said, you're telling me to take my clothes off on a plane. F off.
And it was a heated tirade and it was directed at the female flight attendant. The flight attendant said, no, I didn't say that. You had a bum bag on in the event of an evacuation. We need to make sure that you're safe and everyone else is safe. When the passenger continued to refuse to heed the command, a colleague jumped in to help the situation out. Shortly thereafter, officers arrived and escorted the passenger off of the aircraft.
The woman was charged over the disruption and has been issued to summons to appear in court at a later date. For the bum bag. So fanny packs have been an ongoing point of contention in the sometimes less than friendly skies. But many airlines considering them carry on items and therefore regulate the bags as they would regular personal items, including counting them towards the carrier's luggage allowance. Certain industry experts consider them unlawful.
of clothing. Marissa, you fly Frontier a lot and they charge you for carry-ons. Yes, if you do a full carry-on, it is charged and it's actually more expensive than a check bag. But their personal bag is about the size of a small backpack. Okay, so you can bring that on. Yeah, like this topo bag I have, I think it's like 16 inches long.
by whatever. And a lot of people are making smaller bags now that just are that exact size. So you're good to go with a bum bag then? I can do a bum bag. So I have fresh in a steamer trunk that I converted to a bum bag. And I get a lot of trouble for that. I can imagine. The man who is accused of killing a couple at a nudist resort in California did so over a hot dog.
Michael Royce Sparks, 62 years old, was charged with two counts of murder with special circumstances in the deaths of Stephanie Menard, who was 73, and her husband, Daniel Menard, who was 79. What kind of hot dog? The couple had been reported missing in the desert community of Redlands. Yellow or golden brown? Were last seen at their home on August 24th of last year. They lived at Olive Dell Ranch, which is described on its website as a residential RV park and nudist resort.
Officials said they found the couple's remains in bags in a concrete bunker underneath Sparks' home. A detective testified that Sparks admitted to another inmate that he killed his neighbors and allegedly said the final straw was over a hot dog.
the detective, Thomas Williams, testified that Sparks told the other inmate that Daniel Menard had given him a hot dog, which he felt was some sort of jab at him. He said Mr. Marks felt that the hot dog was a jab at him, making him feel like he was worthy only of a
dollar hot dog and that's what set him off that day. Something was going to set him off clearly at some point if that was the insult he got. Dude, listen to this. Sparks is accused of brutally beating the couple with a rake, a hoe, and a hammer. Wow. And he also admitted to drowning their dog in a sink.
Around the time of the murders, another neighbor said that Sparks and the Menards had a long history of tension which started over a trimmed tree. The neighbor said that there was a tree that Sparks wouldn't trim, so the Menards did, and that started a feud that lasted more than a decade. It's the neighbor from hell, sir. Yeah. And then one day... This is just like the tree incident. ...puts you over the edge. And now a hot dog? I've got to murder them!
All right, a couple in Taiwan have sparked controversy by hiring two pole dancers to perform outside of their son's secondary school as a celebration of his graduation. You got the best parents. The performance took place.
In mid-June, just after the graduation ceremony concluded and students exited the building. Forget your milk money, give it to them and see what they do. Many shocked students and parents gathered to watch the performance of the two female dancers, creating a buzz of disbelief in the crowd. A young boy who was invited to stand between the performers appeared visibly embarrassed during the minutes-long show. Not only that, they gave him some money so that they would take him into the pint of milk room, Preston.
Just like the champagne room, but for kids. Later climbed onto the roofs of two sport utility vehicles where separate poles were installed. Wow, two separate poles. And continued their performance from there. Wow. The boy's mother told the media that the pole dance was sponsored by a friend and choreographed by herself.
aiming to stand out among various graduation activities. She said, other parents organize various programs for their graduation ceremony, so I wanted ours to be more creative than theirs. They just want to be involved with their kid's education. She said, I hope that this will be an unforgettable graduation gift for my son.
The boy shared with the media that he was stunned and speechless upon seeing the pole dancing. He said, however, considering my parents' intentions, I chose not to object. Remember, when you graduate junior high, hookers. A parent of another student expressed concern, stating it is not appropriate to hold such performances in front of the school. They are only secondary school students. An official from the school noted that they did not endorse this type of celebration. That was an interesting performance.
And we will do one more story and we will wrap up the bizarre file with this one in Oregon, Portland, Oregon. U.S. Marshals and local police arrested a man on Monday who they had been looking for since Friday when they said that he fired gunshots at
and led them on a high-speed chase. Police served a search warrant and took 42-year-old, and I kid you not, this is his name, Looney John Franklin Toon, into custody. His name is Looney Toon. Spelled L-O-O-N-Y. Oh, that's the best. T-O-O-N. And they took him into custody without incident. So as he was being taken away, did he say...
And that's awful. You got him. You got him. Right? Right. Police said when they pulled Toon over early Friday morning in Milwaukee, they discovered that he had an active felony warrant for his arrest.
Officers placed spike strips on the rear of Looney Tunes' SUV, but they said that it didn't stop him from speeding away and leading police on a chase with speeds reaching 80 miles an hour while firing several shots at pursuing police. They say they eventually found him in a piano store, Preston, where he was playing his favorite tune but couldn't quite get it right. Oh, no. Yeah. No officers were injured.
Looney Tune abandoned his car near a golf course and ran away. After a search of the area, police did not find him. They took Tune eventually into the county jail where he faces numerous charges including first-degree attempted murder and playing a piano incorrectly. See? He could quite get it. Hold your stupid rabbit like this!
There it is. And that is what I have. Looney Tune. In the bizarre file for you. Wow. I'm assuming his parents gave him that name. Yes. That's not an accident that you end up named Looney Tune. No. All right. Let's take a break and come back in a moment. We'll check your attention span with a lesson question from today's program. And on top of that, we'll get some trash and music news. That stuff is on the way. Stay with us.

Former Teen Mom star and current OnlyFans star Farrah Abraham saying she has begun using an AI avatar of herself to perform sex acts she is uncomfortable with.

I got a few things to mention in music news today. We're going to start with sad news that guitarist Mick Routh, who's playing Colored the Songs, a British rock band's bad company, and mopped the hoopoe, has passed away. He was 81 years old. Kim Brittner, representative for Routh's and Bad Company's bandmates, Paul Rogers and Simon Kirk, confirmed Routh's death, saying no cause was provided. Paul Rogers said in a statement, our Mick has passed.
My heart just hit the ground. He's left us with exceptional songs and memories. He was my friend, my songwriting partner, an amazing and versatile guitarist who had the greatest sense of humor. Kirk also expressed his love for a dear friend, a wonderful songwriter, and an exceptional guitarist.
Ralph's performed his last show in Bad Company in 2016 at London's O2 Arena and days later suffered a debilitating stroke. Oh, that's so sad. And he remained bedridden until his passing. In his statement, Rogers noted that he spoke with Ralph's a few days before he died. He said, we shared a laugh.
But it won't be our last. Bad Company, by the way, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame coming up in November in Los Angeles. That's such a great song. Ralph's a native of... And he co-wrote these songs, by the way. And some of them he wrote all on his own. Ralph's a native of Herefordshire, England.
Co-founded glam rock outfit Mott the Hoople in 1969. He was one of the co-founders of that band. He had failed with Girth the Turd Basket, but Mott the Hoople took. The band's name was borrowed from Willard Maness' 1966 novel. In addition to playing guitar, Rouse was the lead singer on some of Mott the Hoople's songs, including the 1970 album track Thunderbuck Ram.
His last appearance came in 1973 on the Mott album shortly after the band achieved its biggest commercial success with this song, an endearing anthem of glam rock era produced and written by David Bowie. Ralph said, met Rodgers who fronted a blues rock group Free in 1971. A jam session with the singer prompted him to depart Mott the Hoople and with Rodgers to form Bad Company. The band also included Kirk and King Crimson bassist
singer Boz Brell. He passed away in 2006.
Bad Company's 1974 debut included the Can't Get Enough written by Ralphs. He also took Ready for Love, which he penned from off the Hoople's All the Young Dudes album, to Bad Company, which turned into a signature song. He was with the band until they dissolved in 1982 after producing enduring rock hits like Rock and Roll Fantasy, Feel Like Making Love, and the eponymous Bad Company. It's all good stuff. He rejoined the band several times during the past few decades to play live shows, including
including one in 2008 at a 2008 concert in South Florida with Rodgers and Kirk. And he also reunited with Mott for a pair of London shows in 2009 and stayed musically active with the Mick Ralph's Blues Band, which he formed in 2011. So sad news, but left behind a lot of great music. So wanted to pass that along.
steven van zandt has undergone emergency surgery for appendicitis and will miss this week's shows as part of bruce springsteen's e street band uh the musician who is 74 was in san sebastian spain for springsteen's two-night run at the estadio real arena but said that he was admitted to the hospital after experiencing a sharp pain in his stomach he wrote on instagram got a sharp pain in my stomach thought it was food poisoning turned out to be appendicitis he
He got lucky. You said he got lucky with an exceptional hospital in San Sebastian. Just rather sweet. Johnny Depp dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow visited him. Oh, Captain Jack Sparrow. How old are you?
Operation, he said, he wrote, Operation was a complete success and I'm hoping to get back on the stage at least for one of the shows in Milan. Thank you all for the good vibes. See you soon. Another medical incident happened. This one much more scary. Audiences were horrified and I've never heard of this band. But Sting was playing a Liverpool gig as a member of his support act,
the Christians collapsed on stage. The drummer, identified as Lionel Duke, suddenly collapsed at Sting's On the Waterfront gig on Sunday, prompting urgent cries to help from the front man, Gary Christian.
A privacy screen was actually put around him before he was rushed off stage, checked over by on-site medical staff and taken to the hospital. A woman thought to be the band's manager, Emma Bridget, came to address the crowd and said, we're really hoping he's going to make it. She said he didn't have a pulse. Wow. He's got one now, we think. Thank you very much. That woman turned out to be Christian's sister. Is that right? I didn't know Christian had a sister. That's scary.
Yes, Sting did take the stage after the horror calmed down and gave a small update on Lionel's condition. The police icon told the audience that he was okay and in the hospital and added, all of us are praying that he's going to be fine. Our thoughts are with him. I heard that Johnny Depp, Captain Jack Sparrow, is on his way to liven his mood. How old are you?
I do this normally for children. Lionel is still in the hospital. The band issued an update on their social media thanking everyone for his concern. They said he suffered a cardiac arrest while performing. It's terrifying. So they're waiting to see if he's going to be okay. Billy Joe Armstrong stopped the band set at Germany's Hurricane Festival on Sunday when he saw a fan spraying him with a water gun.
Video on TikTok shows a 53-year-old turning the mic to the crowd and then pulling off his guitar, crouching at the stage edge, and yelling at the person before putting the guitar back on. The clip says the fan kept shooting water at his face throughout the show. Armstrong finished the song once the spray stopped, and fans online say that the pause was fair because water and amps don't mix, but it's not clear if the guy was...
kicked out or not. I need you all right here to kill this man right here. This man right here, kill him. Tear him apart. Thank you.
HBO's two-part documentary, Billy Joel, and So It Goes, premieres on July 18th and July 25th. The two-parter is packed with content for fans, offering nearly five hours of intimate storytelling, rare footage, and personal reflections from the legendary musician himself. I was listening to some Billy Joel over the weekend, and I had this thought, because Piano Man just came on, and I love that song, obviously. It's a classic, but... Be a good dog name. It would be a really good...
stage show. Piano Man is an actual stage show. The story that takes place in the song. Yeah. And so I was talking, so I immediately called my daughter who is a, you know, Broadway, you know, loves Broadway stuff. And so she's not super into what they call jukebox musicals. Right, right. You know, so maybe it wouldn't necessarily be
Those songs? All of Billy's songs. But they do stuff like that. So they would pack it with Billy Joel songs. They use all those sorts. They'll take a hit and then build a show on it and then make it, as you said, a jukebox thing. I get it. A lot of them are pretty just...
like review-ish and not... There's not a lot of substance to it. So you got Paul at the bar. You got Davey who's still in the Navy. You got... Or no, I'm sorry. Paul's the real estate novelist. Yep. Davey's in the Navy. Probably will be for life. Yeah. And...
John at the bar. Yeah, it's a friend of mine. And then you have a waitress practicing politics and the businessman. And those are all the characters mentioned in that song. Yeah, there's a guy making love to his tonic and gin. Yep. I think four guys get named. Yeah. Three of them. But there are still, there are unnamed characters as well. I know, but I think there are four names that show up in the song. Yeah. What's the fourth? All right, so John at the bar is a friend of mine. Gets married, drinks for free. He's good with a little joke or a light of your smoke, but his son plays here out of the bay.
And then he talks about, well, he mentions Bill, which is Billy Joel. So that would be the other name, I assume. Peter North makes a lot of sperm. And Peter North makes a lot of sperm. He's a porn actor, you see. Why did you include that, Billy? That's completely anomalous to the rest of the story. You just kind of have to throw it all against the wall so it sticks. And the sperm sticks. Sticks, yeah. Yeah.
Get off my back, man. These are the people at my bar. You don't want Peter North there? Make your own bar. Get it off my back. Get a towel. Please, get a towel. Oh, God, here comes Peter. Oh, no. And Peter at the bar. Peter, you're not allowed in here. He can shoot, see how far. Okay. Didn't see it go down this path at all. See, that's why it was such an anomaly, Nick.
The documentary features new interviews with Billy, his family, ex-wives, bandmates, and stars. Funny because I actually never met Peter North. And stars like Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Nas, and Peter North. Part one explores his early life, musical rise, and rocky personal history. That's right. Including the relationship behind hits like Just The Way You Are. And Maggie and
is a friend of mine and he's got big dumbo ears on his head. And hits like Piano Man as well. Part two follows his artistic evolution, emotional reconciliations, and renewed sense of self through setbacks, fame, and racing BMX and family life.
There was a musical that came out in 2002 called Moving Out, and Billy's music was featured heavily in it. I don't know anything about it other than that. I just looked it up, and I remember it happening. Casey, do you know anything about it? Nope. All right. I'll pull up the soundtrack while it doesn't say what the song is reused, but it sounds like it might be a jukebox music. I have another kid's book for you if you're on this theme. Uptown Squirrel. Oh, okay.
Right? Yeah. Uptown squirrel. It would have music to it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, that's a great idea. Yeah. All right. Let me see. One last story.
And this is the local one. And this is unfortunate, but I wanted to spotlight this. The Neshaminy School Board voted to approve its 2025-2026 budget that came with some casualties, including a position in the school district's award-winning music department. There was a standing room only crowd on a 100-degree night packing the room.
Most turned out to beg the school board to reconsider cuts to the department. The budget included the elimination of one out of ten music positions and complete reorganization of the entire department. Some say that the program will never be the same again. Parent Tim Byrne said the changes you're proposing here will be the beginning of the dismantling of a nationally recognized award-winning district music program. One parent said music is life.
And another added, students are not just members on a spreadsheet. They are people who deserve a thriving music program to learn and grow within. However, after months of fighting for the department, the school board approved the $221 million budget. The school board members say that they are not cutting the program rather than a, quote, realignment program.
Many students and parents told stories about how the program provides more than just musical education. And I understand this because that's where I was in high school. They said that it gives them a safe space, a place where they develop confidence and form social relationships. The district lead music teacher, Alexis Cassidy, says although she's not surprised over the decision, she is afraid that the students will suffer. And I hate to see that.
And maybe they can change their mind down the road. I don't know. It's so bizarre. I was just telling you that I was watching that movie, Here Comes the Boom. Yeah. This is about saving a music program in a school. Really? Yeah. That's the entire... That's why he gets involved. Now, I'm not recommending that they get involved in mixed martial arts to raise the money. But that was the whole premise of that movie. And it's out of Mr. Holland's opus, too. Yes. Yeah. The music program. And he says, and he goes, well...
They tried cutting the football program. I think we'd see, God forbid, that would ever happen. However, there's probably twice as many people in the marching band than there are on the football team. But anyway, I wanted to pass that along. Real quick, we have a last second phone call to go to. This is Lynn. Oh, I thought it was another call. I think it was another guy. We'll go to Lynn. Lynn, good morning. Good morning. Hi, Lynn. What did you want to tell us?
I saw a movie on Broadway in New York City. It was over a decade ago. It was a long time ago. But if there's still versions of it out there, I recommend people go out and see it. Go see it? It's absolutely amazing. Are there characters in it that are characters in the song Piano Man by any chance?
I have to go back and research that, but it's all Billy Joel's music partnered with an artist called Twyla Tharp. Yes, the great Twyla Tharp. Yeah.
Yeah, and it is just absolutely fabulous. And there's dancing throughout the whole thing. It tells the story using Billy Joel's songs all throughout it. All right. And Moving Out is a big song of his. Sure. So that is like the headlining song for them. Okay. So I just raised the notion of perhaps another musical called Uptown Squirrel. Would you go see that? Uptown what? Squirrel. Squirrel? Yeah.
I'll try it. I'll try it. That's an open-minded person. Thank you, Lynn. This is a bona fide hit, Lynn. All right. Well, thank you for your call. We appreciate it. What is it? Is that another one of his songs? No. That's all good. We're just trying to get some funding. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. I didn't mean to hang up on her.
But the other call that we had was a guy that wanted to call out, I guess his name was Rob earlier this morning, who said that his friends suck. Oh, he was responding. I think so. Listen, he didn't. Ryan and Joey? Ryan and Joey. Yeah, it was one of them, I thought. All right, well, anyway. It might have been Ryan responding. I don't know. All right, that's all we have time for. All right. We do need to take a break. And when we get back, we will be wrapping up our program. We'll get you the letter of the day for the Word of the Week prize. So make sure you stay with us. We'll be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. 93.3 WMAR with some live all over you. A song for Peter North. Here we go. 1044. I did it so they're appropriate.
We were dedicating the song today. We were just talking about him, too. 1044 as we are coming to the end of the broadcast for today. And then we're packing up shop and hitting the road, man. Yeah, how about that? Heading out. And...
You know what? We have one more four-pack of tickets. What? What? I've been told that we had an extra stashed away. What? So I'm going to... What? What? I'm going to give that away right now. And we'll take caller number 17 at 610-660-9333.
and you will get to join us tomorrow morning. All right? And you can even come in early if you like. And if you get there early enough, you have free parking. I think you have to get there by a certain time. I think that's the case, yeah. You get free parking, but we'll let you know. But nonetheless, you get to get in the park, and if you're in there early, some of the rides will be opening before the general public comes in. And even if...
You may get there by the time the doors open. If you've ever been to a theme park, right when they open, you can have at it. It is the best, honestly. And as Nick pointed out, weather's kind of breaking. It's going to be maybe a little bit overcast. No rain until the evening. And we should be in the 75 range during showtime. And what, a high of like 83 tomorrow? Yeah, it's going to be really, really nice. It's going to be perfect. Looking forward to it.
Pierre Robert is here. Hello. Nice to see you, man. Yeah, today's the last of the super heat, right? Yeah. That's what we hear. Yeah. So tomorrow a little bit better, like a cooling trend. Yeah. It's almost like Christmas. It really is. Yeah. Yeah. I was just having some eggnog. Yes. Yes, me too. And, you know, like at Starbucks, they're already doing the pumpkin flavors. The pumpkin, yeah. In anticipation. You're under the mistletoe. Oh. Oh.
What? What are you talking about? I was just playing along with this stupid thing that you guys were doing. Sorry, I didn't mean to join in. I thought... It's summer mistletoe. It's invisible. It just was so believable. You were so convincing. I go, is this some bit I've missed? Then I looked up and I didn't see anything. I go, oh, maybe they just have it on the screen. They've been doing a mistletoe bit I was unaware of. You brought it up. What is Preston talking about?
I swear to God, sometimes he just goes on and on. He doesn't make any sense sometimes. It's like horrible diarrhea. Oh, my God. What tangent is Presbo on? I got an idea. How about keeping the show on the rails? Exactly. That's why I am here. Yes, professional. Tighten it up, baby. Yeah, man. All right. Come on. You can do it. All right.
Letter of the day then, sir? Yes. All right, 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. A is an apple. A, all right. A, A, A. We have an overnight stay and $150 dining credit at Ocean Casino Resort and a pair of tickets as MMR rocks Cage the Elephant Friday, October 24th.
At Ovation Hall in Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. And tickets for Cage the Elephant will go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. via theoceanac.com. So give that away after tomorrow. Get set to win. What's happening today, man? Well, we got quite a day. Today's our Sammy Hagar day. At 2 o'clock, we have the conversation with the Red Rocker and play that new song, Encore, Thank You, Good Night.
and we've played it a bunch of times so far, but the whole story behind it and his relationship with Eddie and all that we'll touch on. So tune in at 2 o'clock for Sammy Hagar conversation. Great guy. So effervescent. We got Counting Crows tickets for the Hard Rock July 5th, which will be the day, obviously, after July 4th. So if you're there for the weekend, you might have some fun with that. Workforce Box of Metallica and Jackson Brown, who's at the Hard Rock this weekend.
And I'm going to be off for a couple days, so I wanted to get it in before whoever's filling in for me on Friday. I didn't want to give it to them. I selfishly wanted to grab the Jackson Brown block for myself, so I scheduled it ahead. I love that Jackson Brown is intermingling with Metallica today on your show. That's what I love about it. It's everything that rocks, baby. Yeah, I love it. Because Metallica, Jackson Brown, and let's go for Slayer and Cat Stevens. Yes! Yes. Oh.
Fine finger death punch and Ann Murray. What's the A to Z transition from into Jimmy Buffett? Boat drinks to bodies. Drowning pool. And of course they must be played back to back.
So end of boat drinks into bodies. I mean, priceless, right? Nick just pulled up a photo of Jackson Brown. You could have plopped him right in front of me and I never would have pegged that that's him. He looks a lot different, doesn't he? He's got a lot different. Longer gray hair and he's got a full gray beard and mustache. And I haven't seen him in a while.
Wow. He's one of my favorites. Absolutely. He's amazing. His voice is exactly the same. Yeah. But he stopped coloring his hair. Okay. And he grew a beard. And I would recommend he start coloring his hair again and lose the beard. But I'm not his personal stylist. You should start coloring your hair and lose the beard. Yeah.
But that's more on my fashion tips later in the program. And because of the intense warmth, I thought we would do a block of cold songs.
to give you the opposite effect of what's happening, and maybe we'll throw a Christmas song in there for the season. For the mistletoe. Yes. For the non-existent mistletoe that I foolishly looked up for. I said, oh, did I miss something? There's no damn mistletoe. No. But I was following Presbo's lead. So again, Bo, get back.
All right, brother. Back on track. Let me thank our sponsors. President Steve's Show is brought to you today by Dunkin'. And the President Steve's Show runs on Dunkin'. Also brought to you by Acme Markets and Fresh Foods, local flavors. Tomorrow on our program, it's all about the sweet stuff. We are headed to the sweetest place on earth, Hershey, Pennsylvania, for a live broadcast at Hershey Park. So when you tune in tomorrow morning, all the sights and sounds, smells, and everything is going to be coming from that wonderful location. So that is it. We are done.
Rage on and you have yourself a great day. And we'll see you tomorrow at the park. Bye-bye.
