Good morning in the news this morning. Woo! Woo! Woo!

The Philadelphia Eagles are the Super Bowl champs. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night to win Super Bowl 59 with the final score of 40-22. A ferocious Philadelphia Eagles defense tormented and frustrated Patrick Holmes while Hurts made all the plays the offense needed. The Eagles killed the Kansas City Chiefs quest for a Super Bowl three-peat and it wasn't even close.

Cooper Djean got a pick six on his 22nd birthday. Josh Sweat pressured Mahomes all night and the Eagles beat the Chiefs on Sunday to secure the franchise's second Super Bowl championship.

There was a point, Kathy, and I think everyone saw it, where Mahomes appeared to have that thousand-yard stare. Like, he didn't know what the hell was happening. And he's an accomplished, a great athlete, obviously. But they had not, I mean, he just was getting sacked right and left. There were a couple times where they showed him and other players crying on the sideline. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe, no, it wasn't Chris Jones, but it was a defensive lineman. Yeah. It looked like he was sobbing. Yeah. I get it. There's no crying in baseball, but in football.

Gloving your eyes out. Hurts threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score on a tush push to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. And Vic Fangio's defense was so dominant that the Eagles didn't need much from Saquon Barkley. The game-changing running back finished with 57 yards, breaking Terrell Davis' record for yards rushing in a season, playoffs included. Hurts threw for 221 yards.

After the game, Nick Sirianni said, this is the ultimate team game. You can't be great without the greatness of others. Great performance by everybody, offense, defense, special teams. With Donald Trump becoming the first president in office to attend the Super Bowl, the Eagles outplayed Kansas City in every facet, delighting a raucous pro-Philly crowd that celebrated each score with Fly Eagles Fly. Dude, it was so clearly, so clearly a Philadelphia crowd from the very beginning.

Not even close. Not even close. Not even close. Yeah. Even Taylor Swift's presence couldn't help the Chiefs. They lost for the first time in 10 games this season with the pop superstar in a suite watching boyfriend Travis Kelsey, who didn't catch a pass until late in the third quarter.

Now, fans immediately took to the streets across Philadelphia and surrounding areas to celebrate the birds' incredible victory. Cleanup is wrapped along Broad and Market streets after Eagles fans swarmed Center City, Philadelphia following the big win. Officers moved in to clear the throngs of people, but like any good party, no one wanted to go home. They said it was hard to break up the party and it took them hours to get people to go home. I think some are just getting home now. That's right. We might know one of them.

Even as the city's sweeps and trash trucks moved in, those still celebrating jumped on top. Police say a linen truck was stolen at some point during the night from the Lowe's Hotel, and they used it to barricade Market Street, and then the thieves apparently dumped all the linens onto the street. Dude, they were lighting them on fire.

They were lighting the sheets on fire. Yeah, there were multiple fires that were also set in dumpsters and light poles came down. A text alert went out to phones at 3.15 this morning ordering crowds to disperse. So I thought I was watching it and it looked like it was picking up a head of steam. And I'm like, oh, how's this going to go? How's this going to go? And I woke up to, I was comforted by the fact because I thought it might completely go off the rails. But it seems to be okay despite a few burned linens. Yeah.

And some pole climbing. I love how the garbage trucks come in. You know, okay, you've had your fun. And they climb all over the garbage trucks. Eagles fans took to Fayette Street in Contra Hagen where the celebration seemed to remain in good fun. Five points in Levittown was another gathering spot to celebrate after the win. Wasn't that where the horse crap was eaten last time? No. No? It was South Broad, wasn't it? Yeah, I don't think that was in Levittown.

I hear the horse crap is better on South. Now hopefully fans are getting some rest for a long week of celebrations to come. The Philadelphia Eagles are the Super Bowl champions for the second time in franchise history following the dominant win. While fans filled the streets to celebrate following the game, fans will converge on Broad Street once again for a Super Bowl parade on Friday, the team announced just after midnight. So the city has not yet announced the official plans of the parade. I think it's time now to go to our sports

correspondent on the street and find out how things have been in Center City, Philadelphia for overnight celebrations. When we need sports, ladies and gentlemen, there's only one person. We bring you Pierre Robin.

Live at 616 AM. Hey. When it comes to a competition, we kick their effing ass and we kick their effing names. They have a lot. Kick their effing names. So you're just, are you just leaving the celebrations now?

No, I'm just walking in my friend door. He's not kidding. He's not kidding. How was it out there? Pierre, how was it when you were at? Were you on Broad Street? My boots off. My feet are sore. What did you say? I said, how was it? Were you on Broad Street?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was in a fun little bar called the U Bar. It's about a block off abroad on Locust that I am known to hang out at from time to time. All right. Sleep in the gutter nearby. Yeah.

I was... Tony was pouring me several lagers, at which point they had like 20, you know, like every bar in town had 20 different TVs on. And every time, you know, the lads would hit the thing, people would, you know, fly, you go fly, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And more toasts would be... At one point, several people jumped up on top of the bar. And the security guy...

I had to come and say, gentlemen, please step down from the bar. But the celebration was really friendly. And I went out. It was only a block walk to Broad Street. And down I went. And it was I mean, it was it was really everything I could hope that it would be. Sensitive, you know, fun, celebratory.

You know, there were individual people had brought fireworks and nothing out of hand. But every so often you'd hear these fireworks and look up and you'd see little fireworks, you know, going about halfway up the buildings that line both sides of Broad Street. And within I mean, truly within seconds of the ending of the game, I

I don't mean hundreds. I don't mean thousands. I mean thousands and thousands of people gathered there. Pierre, you and I were really enjoying our text exchange last night because you were trying to figure out the best time to get down there and when you wanted to make it out onto the streets for the Eagles fans. So what was the drive like into the city? What time were you able to make it into the city? Did all of that work out okay?

Yeah, it worked out great. I mean, this is crazy, but I couldn't watch the first beginning of it. It made me too nervous, so I put on 60 Minutes. All right. I did my dishes, and then I cleaned the bathroom, and I vacuumed, and I go, all right, it's time to go, lad. And I went over to my elderly neighbor's house, who's been an Eagles fan,

She was a little girl, and I watched a little bit of it with her, and I said I got to run. And into town I went. There was no traffic whatsoever on the Schuylkill going into town. I couldn't get off at the Broad Street exit on either side of 676. So I went a little further, got off on the 8th Street exit, went down. There's a cool little parking lot that I favor and occasionally can sleep in if I've been in town too late. It was just perfect.

It's like a high-rise parking lot. You find a nice little shady spot. You pull in there, take a little mapy, and you're good to go. Sure. But...

More on that another time. So you're wandering amongst this sea of ebullient humanity. What was that like? Well, I mean, the second I got out of the car, I was like fifth, sixth level of the parking lot. I leaned over the edge and just looked at the city. What was so great, Steve, is that you could see all these high-rises. I mean, you know, I just...

I love our city. So often we hear city equals what? Fires, murders, star jackass.

How about city equals art and culture? Some of the greatest restaurants in town, some of the greatest concerts, the ballet. I was walking past the Academy of Music where the ballet is. I walked past the Kimmel Center where the world-acclaimed Philadelphia Orchestra plays. Did you sense you were amongst a lot of ballet fans? Yes.

They were pirouetting down. Sure. An impromptu Swan Lake broadcast. Exactly.

Well, anyway, you hear all these, you know, and of course we have great sports teams, but looking out from the high rise of the parking lot, oddly enough, I could see 10 different high rises nearby and you could see into various people's windows. Games were on on every level of people's windows. And some of these, the newer apartment complexes have group rooms and people were gathered around and the festive, you know, and there was green everywhere.

Green, green, green. Yeah. And then the second I got to Broad Street, I was just immersed in humanity. There was a guy playing a frying pan. And I said, I must talk to this guy. And I made my way over and I recorded some stuff with him. But he had a spoon and a frying pan. And it sounded like the beginning of...

Rock and Roll High School from the Ramones. And he was pounding out this great beat on the frying pan. And somehow they worked it into the Eagles song. But, I mean, everywhere, young people, old people. And when I left the air on Friday afternoon,

I said not to be, you know, grandpa lecturing, but I said if we should be victorious, go out, celebrate, be loud, hug people, kiss people, bring beverages, jump up and down. Play a frying pan. Bring a frying pan. Kathy has cooking lessons afterwards.

I said, please don't break things. Please don't destroy things. Please don't light things on fire. I just heard you talking about the garbage can. But for the hour and a half, maybe two hours that I was on Broad Street, in the middle of Broad Street, I thought...

Not one thing out of line. That's great. I mean, that's awesome. For the most part, for that amount of people, that massive people moving through that area, it could have been far worse. There was the usual stuff that you might associate with the event, but I don't think anything outlandish. And to see, as you said, the sea of people, young, old, just all walks of life converging and just absolutely ecstatic. What a wonderful thing to be at the nexus of.

Well, I mean, it reminded me of a gigantically larger version of the camp out for hunger in a strange way, because just of the togetherness of it, you know, in a world that's crazily divided, all of a sudden this city, which gets, you know, beat up on.

And that's, again, why I was hopefully saying, let's just be really good because the eyes of the country and the world will be upon us. I remember after the last win of the Super Bowl, some correspondent on a national channel showed somebody lighting something on fire and turning a car over. And he goes, see what Philly does? And I go, no, no, no. We're better than that. And was that a rocky bit? Yes, it was. You're better.

I didn't mean to trigger that. But everyone stepped up and rose up and people were just plain joyous. And...

You know, you just sort of it was like being in the midst of a river. You just sort of but a gently moving river. You sort of swept upwards and downwards. And, you know, you get a little further up from Locust to Bruce to Chestnut to Walnut. And then you go back down again. And that's awesome. I mean, honestly, I can't say I would have wanted to have been in it. I preferred my vantage point. But it sounds like you had an amazing time.

Well, I love being with people. And I, you know, I brought my tape recorder and I got some sound, you know, and every so often someone will come with a giant backpack. Pierre, do you need a beverage? Yes, indeed, I do. And out from there would come a lovely IPA, of which I borrowed several. And you just were able to carry on up.

And the cops, the police were just great because they I think they've learned from previous things where to, you know, move in like a couple of weeks ago when they won the championship. Yeah. The police moved in a little bit. All right. Now let's wrap it up. Let's not get out of hand. And they really control the situation, although about almost completely.

closing in on my second hour, these announcements are coming over. All right, ladies and gentlemen, please start moving towards South Street. Not a person moved.

It was the most peaceful civil disobedience I've ever heard. Yeah, Pierre, it was reported that it took them hours to try to get the crowd to disperse. Sure. 315, they were saying, is when they really felt they started to get people leaving. Well, I just left, well, I mean, half an hour ago, I left Center City. And I said I was going to go the other way. I'm going to drive up.

Walnut Street. And so from 12th, I went across Broad, which was fairly clean, believe it or not. Walnut Street still has a fair amount of debris on either side, but almost all the way up to Rittenhouse Square. But I mean, it's completely clear now at

10 after... Hey, did you end up... Did you take a little nap or anything? Or were you going until... Oh, you did. Well, I went for several hours. Yeah. And then I got back to the automobile and I said, perhaps a nap is called. Okay. All right. Okay, good. And so I reclined the seaters

the heater, whatever. And I got a little nap and then I felt like I could run a marathon. By the way, somebody noted on our text message, Pierre sounds more coherent and awake now than during your normal crossover every day. Well, I should drink more during the crossover. I think we found a solution to it. Yeah. And I've got several flasks I can bring in to help

with that process. We're looking forward to the audio you collected. If you can get some on air today, I'm sure you're probably going to do that. And I assume that we can expect you at 10 a.m. proper. On the dot.

Where? I mean, yes, of course you did. Because if I've learned one thing from sports, it's get up and play the damn game. All right, Pierre, we got a break. So thank you for the correspondence. Once again, our man on the street. Everything we need to know. And we will see you in a few scant hours, sir.

Can I go to bed now? Yes. You can go to bed. All right, nighty-night. All right, there he goes, Pierre Robert with the first and only ever 6 a.m. check-in for anything on the President's Day show. That's amazing. Amazingly crisp. We caught him on the way home. Wow. We're not even done with sports yet. With news, what do you want to do?

So do you want me to just quickly finish this parade information? Sure, yeah, whatever. So the city has not yet officially announced the plans. Back in 2018, which is what everybody sort of seems to be going off of, the Eagles celebrated the Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots on a Thursday. The parade started down near Lincoln Financial Field at Broad.

and Patterson. From there, the parade headed north to the art museum where the festivities continued with the team addressing fans. That's where Jason Kelsey gave his legendary Superbowl parade speech. All eyes will be on the forecast this week with snow expected for the Philadelphia area for several days. So, uh,

See you Friday, the Eagles said in a cryptic social media post. That post on X has since been deleted. But again, the city has not officially announced anything. But with the weather, with that cryptic post, it looks like it's going to be Friday. Which would be good. I'm totally down with that. They're saying, Preston, that they would want 36 hours after a moderately significant, depending on how the snow breaks...

that amount of time to let things clear better, to have the parade route accessible for many more people. I think that might be accepted well on Friday. On Friday? For Christ's sake, come on. That would be incredible. And I think we pretty much, the whole thing was sports. So I think if you need a break, we can break now. All right. Do you want to do it? We got to do the intro. Okay. Okay. Let's go! Let's go!

Eagles are the Super Bowl. People are screaming for they did it, Steve, on the text message. We can't not have a they did it this morning. They did it!

And there it is. That's okay. Thanks very much, Kathy. We are going to take a break. We will come back in a moment. And we have all the glory to celebrate today. Stay with us for return shortly.

6.39 a.m. on this beautiful Monday morning. We're going to get right back into things after our lengthy opening conversation. Hopefully you do not mind. We had a special correspondent. One Mr. Pierre Robert just making his way home.

And we'll hear more from him later on today. Let's take a look at traffic, then we'll get to the regular stuff. Kath, what's going on this morning? Police activity in the Longcrest section of the city. Adams Avenue eastbound between Rising Sun and the Boulevard closed because of this police activity. Cotman Avenue northbound between the Boulevard and Busselton. Right lane closed. That is construction. We've got an accident in southwest Philadelphia. It's Bartram Avenue and Island Avenue in Horsham Township.

Horsham Road at Norristown Road, that's an accident. In Bucks Montgomery County, Pot Shop Road at Township Line Road, an accident. Schuylkill Eastbound, volume building from Montgomery into the Vine. 95 Southbound, slows from Cotman through to Bridge. On City Avenue Southbound, right through Schuylkill, we have the traffic lights there not working.

And then if you're headed over from New Jersey, it looks like you're okay on 42 and 55. No problems crossing the bridges this morning. This traffic report brought to you by Wawa.

That's your traffic on 93.3 WMMR. All right, thanks, Kat. So we're going to go through some of the regulars. We'll do the stupid question right now. Give away a four-pack of tickets to see the Philadelphia Fishing Show this weekend. And it's at the Greater Philadelphia Airwaves.

Expo Center at Oaks. So here is your question, and I got this courtesy for Black History Month. Our buddy Craig Legans, he gave me one that had a little notation next to it, and it says, if we win the Super Bowl, ask this question. So here we go. Who is the only wide receiver in football history to win a Heisman Trophy, a National Championship, and a Super Bowl? 215-263-WMMR. Who is the only wide receiver in football history...

to win a Heisman Trophy, a National Championship, and a Super Bowl. I'm taking this on faith of Craig Lugans that he did his homework, and we know that he does. So we'll see if you know the answer. Going through some birthdays while we await your call. Today being the 11th day. I'm sorry, the 10th day of February. Elizabeth Banks, the actress. Yes. 40-year-old virgin, Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games. Directing movies as well. Great stuff, yeah. She was wearing an Eagles hat yesterday. I saw a post of hers on...

Oh, yeah? On Instagram. And, yeah, I don't know if she has any Philly ties or whatever, but she was wearing an Eagles hat and said, just so you know. Penis so small. Wrong one. It's a tiny little penis, too. Tiny penis. She just said, go birds on her caption. Well, that's awesome. I mean, and you know what? That seems about right. Yeah. She seems like a cool person. So happy 51st to her. Laura Dern. Dern has her birthday today. Yes. Ding, dirty Dern. Jurassic Park.

Blue Velvet, bunch of great stuff. Famous parents. Yep, that's right. Bruce Dern and who's her mom? Laura Dern. Wait, she is Laura Dern. God almighty, what's her name?

Another Dern. Ding Dirty Dern. Ding Dirty Dern. But Laura Dern is 54 herself. Yeah. 58 today. She came into being. Chloe Grace Moretz. Yes. Hit girl from Kick-Ass and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And what was that? There was one about her. She also was in a remake of Let the Right One In called Let Me In. But she played a vampire. She's good. She's great. Yep. She turns 28 years old today.

Emma Roberts is a year older as well. American Horror Story. We're the Millers. She's the niece of Julia and daughter of Eric. Yes. Daughter of Eric. Daughter of Eric. Niece of Julia. She is 34 today. Steve, it's Robert Wagner's birthday. Robert Wagner. Yeah, heart to heart. Do you remember we interviewed him? Yes. Yeah, we did. Yeah. Quite a while back. I think, was he on with his wife? I don't remember. Yes. What?

Wait, wait, wait. No, yeah, we had the two, both of them from Heart to Heart on. Oh, is that who it was? That's who we had. I forgot. Stephanie Powers. Stephanie Powers, yeah. Man, would I like to take a crack at her. Oh, my God, I'd split that ass wide open. So Robert Wagner is 95, and let's not forget how great he was in...

The Austin Powers. Terrific. Number two. He starts Starbucks, does he not? Yes. Yes, he does. You're right. So happy 95th birthday to Robert Wagner. Wow. Singer Roberta Flack has her birthday. Love Roberta Flack. First time ever I saw your face. Killing me softly. Killing me softly. Two big, big hits. She is 88 years old.

Then we have two more quick birthdays. The great Mark Spitz celebrates a year older. Seven gold medals at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

And he did it all while wearing a sweater. Yes. Super furry, huge mustache. Yeah. Which runs completely antithetical to common day thinking about that kind of sport. You wonder without that drag how much more prominent he would have even been. How big? How were his pubes? Oh, he's a bush like a porcupine. So he is 75 today.

And then, last birthday, George Stephanopoulos, the ABC newsman and commentator. You got dinner with him, didn't you? Well, in proximity to him. I was at Jack's Firehouse, and he was a few tables over him and Philip Seymour Hoffman. That's pretty cool. Very weird to see them together in the wild. He is 64 years old today. All right, let's see if you know the answer to the stupid question.

Who is the only wide receiver in football history to win a Heisman Trophy, a National Championship, and a Super Bowl? 215-263-WMMR. The first caller in, it says Bave. B-A-V-E. Is that your name, Bave?

No, it's Dave. Oh, Dave. That's a weird name. I thought so, but you never know. All right, Dave, who is the only wide receiver in football history to win a Heisman Trophy, a national championship, and a Super Bowl? Well, first off, you guys are bothering me at work. I apologize. That would be one Devontae Smith. And that would be correct.

Nice work, babe. Hang on. We're going to get your information real quick here. Going deep. Far off. Devontae Smith has got it. Touchdown.

How about that? All right, Dave, hang on. We are going to give you a four-pack of tickets to the Philadelphia Fishing Show. It's this weekend, the 14th through the 16th, Philadelphia Fishing Show at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks is back this Friday through Sunday by the best saltwater and freshwater tackle, gear, apparel, and more. And you can visit phillyfishingshow.com for more details. They say go just once and you'll be hooked. Okay.

By the way, at the box office, Dog Man won the top spot again. The animated comedy dropped 62% from its debut weekend, but managed to hold on to first place with a haul of $13.7 million. Horror rom-com Heart Eyes from director Josh Rubin snagged second place, debuted at $8.5 million. Love Hurts was third with $5.8 million. And rounding out the top five, we've got Mufasa, The Lion King in fourth place.

And $3.9 million for them and Companion in fifth place with a $3 million take at the box office. So the stars were out at the Super Bowl last night. Quite a few of them. More so than I've seen in the past, I think. Yeah, it seemed that way for me. As I was watching, they had a whole ton of them. Yeah, maybe they're covering them more closely. But some of the obvious ones were Bradley Cooper. Yes. Who brought.

the field, the team out onto the field. With his son in his arms. Which was a stark difference from Jon Hamm bringing out the Chiefs, which there was very little fanfare for, and then when the Eagles came out, it was massively loud. Steve, that wasn't Cooper's son. That was a kid who had been ill, and he's been in and out of the hospital quite a bit over the last few weeks, last few months, I should say. And last week on the Today Show, that kid was there with his family, and Bradley Cooper...

came out and he's like hey buddy you're going to the super bowl and so bradley cooper was holding him wow that's awesome he's been having trouble walking he's it's just kind of this strange illness and they're not quite sure what what's going on with him anyway he got to go to the super bowl and bradley cooper was holding him when he introduced introduced the eagles oh that's fantastic yeah by the way i want to double back for a second uh gino texted in we were talking about elizabeth banks being there and wearing uh an eagle's cap let us not forget and he points out her connection to the eagles

She was in the movie Invincible. That's right. Yes. If you remember. So I can see. She was a Giants fan. She was in the movie, but the movie's all about the birds. That's right. So she was on board for that, which is really cool. So obviously Bradley Cooper and Miles Teller, they were the big local fellas, tried and true for sure, and Kevin Hart as well. Yeah. But you had Pete Davidson, who was sporting an Eagles shirt. Apparently he's a big Eagles fan. So that was cool. Paul Rudd.

was there. He was supporting the Chiefs. He's from the area and he was definitely cheering them on. Kevin Costner was in attendance. I saw him. Didn't they have Kevin Costner next to Pete Davidson? Yes, they did. And they name-checked Pete Davidson. Not one of the greatest actors in the world. And then, another moment just like that, they're pointing out Adam Sandler, who of course is wonderful, sitting about five people over two rows up, not mentioned on

McCartney not even mentioned, I was like, what the hell's going on? I'm out of my chicken nuggets. I don't know if it's the same thing, but when I used to work for the Sixers, there were people that would say, no, we don't want you to mention that we're here and don't say anything. I'm just saying, I don't know if... Later on in the game, Kathy, the camera went to him and he looked up and waved so he was not

I don't think he was. No, I know, but they would say, no, don't announce our name. Oh, all right. Okay. So, you know, maybe they have the option. My name's McCartney, stupid Billy Madison. Yeah, it's funny because you see Paul Rudd looks over his shoulder to look up at Paul McCartney, and they were kind of, oh, your name's Paul, too. You know, I don't. Don't look at me. Yeah.

but that was an interesting little exchange that was one that blew me away seeing Paul there that absolutely blew me away the volume was down on the TV so I didn't hear anything I saw it and he was I didn't even see Sandler he was who I saw was Paul McCartney

Nice. So, also in attendance, Brendan Frazier was there. Flavor Flav was hanging out with Bert Kreischer. Yes, he was. Bert was posting some videos on his Instagram with that. We'll have to see if we can get in touch with Bert sometime this week and talk about everything he got into. And then, surprisingly...

Anne Hathaway was decked out in green. She was all about Philadelphia. She was cheering and pumping her fists. I guess I'll just go with this team. She was actively involved in rooting for the Eagles. Kathy, how did you react? As soon as it came out, I go, someone push her. Shh.

I hate her less now, Cass. I dig her, man. She looked great last night. But if you remember, she was in the trash-picking, field goal-kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon with Tony Danza. There we go. It's got to be it. What now? I'm just kidding. There was a movie with Tony Danza called the trash-picking, field goal-kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon. I thought maybe she was a kid actor in it. That's a possibility. I don't know.

All right. So she was there also. Sorry. And I'm just looking at an article because I looked up and it says her beloved Eagles. All right. Got me. OK. And Hathaway's beloved. Anybody knows? Check in. Text in. Let us know why that what her connection might be, because I was not aware. And if there is love it.

Lady Gaga, they did a pre-recorded thing at the beginning with her and a bunch of other people. Terrific. A little performance song in the pregame show. And she was there to watch the game as well. And Martha Stewart was on board, too, somewhere in the stadium. If you want some audio of the Gaga performance, we have it if you want to. Sure, yeah. Here we go. This is Lady Gaga. Hold my hand, baby.

Yeah, very nice. A couple of texts coming in says they called out Paul McCartney during the pregame right before they said Adam Sandler. I didn't see the whole pregame. Who watches the pregame? I was a beetle for crying out loud. Perhaps you've earned it as the Fab Four.

And Anne Hathaway, we're getting a lot of texts say that her parents are from Pennsylvania. I'm not sure exactly where. Specifically from Philadelphia. Somebody says I think she might be from South Jersey or something along those lines. It says she's from Jersey. It says a Jersey gal. It says I think her grandfather worked in Philadelphia radio. Her cousin lives in Bucks County. Is your father Barsky? I don't know.

So, yeah. All right. So, yeah, it was cool to see the celebs in and around the areas. And, of course, there were a lot of people that were there for parties and stuff leading up to the events and all of that that were celebrities. To your point earlier, though, it was an absolute incontrovertible fact that that that stadium was empty.

Eagles driven. It was so obvious. Did Rob or Caitlin, I didn't see them get any camera time during the game. During the game, no. I was watching along on Instagram and they hung out with Philly Sports Trips at one point yesterday. Yes, and Bird Bot. They got together with Bird Bot. There's Rob McElhenney and Caitlin Olsen. There's a man with some sort of scepter. Oh, that's the Polk City behind them.

So it was cool to see all the representation. It was cool. Last night. We'll dive into more Super Bowl chat in just a little while. I do have some other...

stories to run by you guys. And this one I have to mention. So I'm not familiar with Christy Carlson Romano. Kathy, maybe a distant relative. Yes, it is. She is from the Disney channel. She was on Even Steven and she's the voice of Kim Possible. You remember Kim Possible. Yeah. I had to look her up myself but then I was aware of who she was. Well, she got shot in the face recently. Oh my God, my cousin.

So, yes, but it was revealed she took her husband to go skeet shooting for his birthday. And one thing led to another and she ended up getting hit with five spots on her face.

The Even Stevens actress says it was another party that unsafely fired in the wrong direction and hit her in the face. Fragment is also lodged behind her eye. And she says that is too risky to remove, but she is able to see normally for now. Wow. Yeah. How the hell does that happen? You know?

Well, so it depends on how many pads they have set up. We used to go skeet shooting at a range that had like 12 different individual pads, not pads, but locations to skeet shoot.

And if somebody swings a gun in the wrong direction, these pellets can fly over that way. They're really small. It's birdshot. Right. But if you're close enough, it can break skin. Yeah, yeah. And that's what happened to her. And there's a video. When we were just watching, you can see the big spots on her eyes and face where she was hit.

Her husband, Brendan Rooney, apparently moved swiftly, got her to the hospital quickly. Carlson thanked the first responders and personnel that helped her during the scary incident. But she's doing okay. A birthday thing for a husband gets shot in the face. Uh-huh.

Uh, Jessica Alba and her strange husband, Cash Warren, have officially called it quits. Uh, they filed for divorce roughly a month ago after news of their split first came out. No shock. We heard this was happening. Yep. Uh, but it's official now. Yeah, yeah. Uh, Alba and Warren have requested the court, uh, to figure out what is community property, which will then have to be split between them. Uh,

They list the date of separation as December 27, 2024. The two met when they were making Fantastic Four in 2004, and they got married four years later. They were married for 16 years, and they have three daughters together. So there's apparently a high...

profile attorney in um la or wherever they are that specializes in just kind of no uh no contesting of the divorce everything's sort of seamless and that's the that's the lawyer they're using hey doubling back to uh rob mckelhenney uh sad news from the fan base of rexham fc he and ryan reynolds of course own the team or they are owners part of part owners um

A fan battling cancer who had met Ryan, I'm sorry, had meeting Reynolds on his bucket list. And an item he was able to check off passed away. He was 15 years old. Aiden Waller. Mother posted unfortunate news with picture of the young man with McElhenney and Reynolds saying, Aiden sadly passed away this morning peacefully, no pain and holding our hands. He fought a hard three-year battle with strength. We couldn't...

Could only wish to have. Forever smiling. Van City Rentals, thank you for making a dream come true. And he responded, I'm sorry, Sarah. He was pure goodness. No parents should go through this. And Rob commented as well, saying, Sarah, Aiden's strength was only matched by yours and the strength of your entire family. I'm honored to have met you all. So that's sad news.

All right, how about something lighter than this? If you ever really wanted to keep up with the Kardashians, now you can because Kris Jenner is selling the mansion from the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians that was filmed at for the low, low price of $13.5 million. Yeah, actually, that is kind of a steal. If you want all of the furniture, that'll cost an extra $400,000. Yeah, that tacky furniture. Kris and ex-Kaitlyn purchased the six-bedroom, eight-bedroom.

bathroom mansion for $4 million in 2010. So it's grown by quite a bit, almost $10 million. They say that if those walls could talk, they'd tell the Kardashians to shut up. If only. Only. So it's tough to deliver great Shakespearean lines when you're nearly bitten your tongue in half. Denzel Washington is starring in Othello on Broadway, but his performances have been hindered by the freak injury. He said, I bit my tongue almost half-heartedly.

off a few months ago. My name is Phil. Forget it. He said, it's affecting my speech and it forces me to slow down. I have to use it. Then he got specific. He said, I have a line, which is, whither will you that I go to answer this your charge? He said, it's hard because my tongue is swollen. It's affecting everything.

Yes, my liege. Wait, I think we have a... Do we have a scene from that? Yeah, there is. Oh, there we go. This is setting the scene, so... It's a bit of an issue for you. Yeah. I can't understand Shakespeare anyway. I know, it's hard. So, let me see. What else do we want to touch on here? Hmm.

everything. How about this? Yes, because we're already running late and we want to get to opening up the phones here. Superbowl. Let me see how... There was one thing for sure I wanted to pass along to you guys. Come on! I'm working on it. Paul...

Good Lord. I noticed you last night. You're right. Will Ferrell and Zac Efron are teaming up for a currently untitled new comedy at Amazon MGM Studios. Your cordially invited director, Nicholas, or they're doing it with Nicholas Stoller.

The upcoming movie stars Efron as a newly freed convict who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage because he blames the TV judge played by Farrell for ruining his life. Did anybody watch that Reese Witherspoon, Will Ferrell? Actually, I'm almost done. I didn't hate it.

Really? Yeah, it was. It looked pretty lame. Yeah, but I saw something on Instagram. They're like, it's actually pretty good. And I did get some decent laughs out of it. Maybe I'll check it out. It's kind of one of those anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Are they romantic interests in that movie? I don't want to indicate. Okay. No.

All right. Thank God. It doesn't start out that way. And like I said, I haven't finished it yet. So it might end up that way, but that's not the premise of the movie. So this is a Mark reunion for Efron and Stoller who made the comedies Neighbors and Neighbors 2 together. Efron also recently wrapped production on Famous, a dark thriller where he plays both a Hollywood star and an obsessive fan. Stoller also did that movie Bros. That didn't do well, but I kind of liked it. All right. And one more story and then we'll move on to the clips.

A revival of the popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer is reportedly in the works. Yay! The new show is apparently a sequel series, the original show, and Hulu is apparently nearing a pilot order, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is expected to take up the role of Buffy Summers once again. Wow. So the question is, and I was reading about this, I'm, damn, uh, what?

I love that show. I loved Angel. I loved the spin-off series. But Buffy was terrific. But you had Joss Whedon was the brains and heart and soul of that whole series. And he's sort of persona non grata in Hollywood. I wonder who the showrunner is going to be on this. Well, it's still early days. A writer's room for the series is apparently starting up soon, which is a sign that the show will probably get a series order. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is

Originally aired from 97 to 2003 for seven seasons. Had a spinoff show, Angel, which ran for five seasons from 1994 to 2004. By the way, Preston, one of the most consuming, you know, where you live the video game, you know, where you're just thinking about it all the time. The video game that they put out for Buffy the Vampire Slayer took place in the high school and had all of the characters and it was fantastic.

I dreamt it. So you loved it? It consumed my life, yeah. All right, nice. All right, we're ready for clips.

So, Mystery Drama Series School Spirit switches in and out of the afterlife into real world. The set and characters are very immersive. And here, Milo Manheim shares his favorite thing about the show. It takes characters that you think you really are expecting something from. And sometimes you get a little bit of that, and sometimes it's completely different. And I like that.

First, like, we contain multitudes. It's not like this is what it is. I like that. I don't even know who the hell you are. Watch School Spirits on Paramount+. And next clip.

Guys, opening scene features a couple being murdered to a popular romance song. And in this clip, Mason Gooding shares which song he thinks would be the worst to be murdered to. Let's get it on by very well. That would just be a crazy. Because you'd be thinking about like how intimate the moment should be while you're getting eviscerated. I would, that or like the ABCs would like suck. Because you want to hang in there until Z. Bullshit.

Hard Eyes is in theaters as we speak. He started saying, let's get it on by Barry White, and it's Marvin Gaye. That's Cuba Gooding's son. Is it really? Yep. Nice. All right, that is the entertainment report for you this morning, friends. And here we are, champions once again. Cannot believe it. How about that? And a couple of things that we're going to do. We are going to talk to our buddy Michael Barkan at some point this morning. We also have Casey's.

Super Bowl premonition, which is in this envelope. Have not opened it up yet. And I'm dying to see what he had. This is not what he thought. This is what came to him. It almost looks like a vision.

Right, Case? Yeah. Yeah. You have to understand, I'm trying to keep everything close to the vest right now. All right. I'm having zero reaction. We like that. Nick wrote down a prediction, though, as well. So we're going to find out what his was. I did not know about that until this morning. There was a prop bet between Nick and Kathy. Yes, there was. And I won. So we'll cover all of that in a little while.

And actually, we have a concert announcement today. We're hoping maybe we will check in with Marissa because she did go. She left on Friday. Didn't have tickets to the game. Just wanted to go down and be in New Orleans for the whole thing. And she ended up hooking up with BirdBot and Helen and the whole crew down there. So we will hopefully hear from her this morning. I'm not guaranteeing or counting on it. But you never know. And we have to massage the return trip of BirdBot 2.0. In fact, I haven't even checked this morning on location. Yeah.

If you could, we'll get an update on that as well. When we come back, Steve, we'll get an update on that. And then we're also going to talk to this gentleman, Bob from Nico Sports, who we spoke to a few years ago as well at the last championship. The only reason we're talking to him is because our Eagles are super bold champions. This is true. All right. So we're going to take a break. We'll come back in a moment. We're going to open up the phones, man. You got stuff to say, to share. We want to hear about it today. We'll be right back.

are just absolutely on an ultimate high right now and deservedly so yeah uh so here's what we'd like to do we did this a few years ago you want to say something 215-263-WMMR how great it feels a personal story somebody you want to send some love to whatever it may be feel free to give us a call because uh it's it's all about everybody right now i'm gonna make a uh

an admission that I watched the game on a five minute delay last night. Okay. You know, it's been my long standing tradition to not watch it in real time. So I, I, I, the, the margin was the tightest it has ever been. Casey, can I now assume that this methodology is game tested and I can move forward with this? Yeah, just keep going with that. Okay. Just go undefeated for the rest of my life. Oh my gosh. It was so funny yesterday at my brother's house. So my brother had one, two, three, four,

four TVs going. One of them, by the way, which was the backboard of a little basketball net that hung over the door. Oh, get out. It had a TV on it. So you could like shoot weeks if you wanted and watch the game. But in the one room where two of the TVs were, they were being played on an app.

And then in his living room was just like his regular television service. So the app was showing it before the TV service. So I was in that room. We would hear them scream and freak out. And I would just go, something big's coming, guys. Wait for it. No, no, it's important when you're doing that, that you got to sync the TVs up. Because I watched it at my brother's house as well. And it's like a split level, but you know...

It's not like separated, right? Like it's just one floor stacked on top of the other. So it was only maybe a half of a second ahead or behind. Ours was like, Casey, it was like a full minute. Oh, man. So we would hear them freak out, cheer. And then he fixed it after halftime. He just used the app for that room. I mean, it ended up being a big joke. Like it was really funny. We just knew something was coming. You're looking at, you know, we...

What's next Super Bowl going to be like? How much the streaming stuff is so, what was it, on Tubi, right? And YouTube as well. Yeah, we just watched on broadcast. Yeah, broadcast. When the Phils were in the playoffs, I think it was me and Casey and my buddy Steve who was in St. Louis watching the game. We were texting each other and we were all on different times. Oh, that's hilarious. He was like way ahead of us. He was way ahead of us and we're like, we were seeing these things, you know, before they even unfolded on TV and we're like, oh man. He should have bet with you guys. Totally, totally.

All right, we need to go to some calls. First, I'm going to start with Chris. She has called in before, and she's back again. She has done live cheerleading on our program. She's one of the reasons we won. Hi, Chris. Good morning. Good morning.

I just wanted to tell a story. So they asked me when I called in if I had any stories. And that night when I called in and I did the premonition cheer, I had a premonition myself that came to me in a dream. And I was in a bird shop and I looked over and there was a bald eagle that came over and sat on my lap. And, you know, anyway, it was a great game. It was like...

I'm so glad that Jalen got the MVP. And last night when we were watching the game, we had a friend over. And he said, you know, has there ever in the history of the Super Bowl been a blowout? And I'm like, don't put it into the universe. And like shortly thereafter, of course, you know, the Chiefs score a touchdown. But anyway, it was a great game. I was really excited to watch it. Do you want to give us one more cheer just to close out the season?

Ready? Okay. We had a premonition and what did we foresee? But the Mighty Eagles team was on its way to victory. We saw it in the cards and in the crystal ball. But you're going to have to check it out because we are the best of all.

All right, Chris. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Have a great day. All right. We'll see you later. Oh, my God. There's not been a blowout for a while. And like...

I didn't mind it at all. They just dominated. The first half was unreal. The Chiefs didn't score any points until the end of the third quarter. The Eagles' defense was insanely good last night. It just was beginning to end. The whole team, and Casey, you've been saying it for several weeks, but like

The Eagles really are and were a good team. There was no weaknesses on the team. And Saquon, for all intents and purposes, had kind of an off day yesterday. He didn't dominate. He didn't do what he did in the previous playoff games. It didn't matter. They were so freaking good and so dominant from beginning to end. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about Saquon having a quote-unquote off night. He had over 100 yards of scrimmage yards, right? Whether it be passing or receiving or rushing. But...

Don't get it twisted. He had everything to do with how successful... You saw how they had to stack the box in order to stop him. Totally. Which opened up our air attack. So, like...

Saquon had anything and everything to do with yesterday's injury. When you know they're completely focused on him, when you know that's the thing, and they would answer that by running plays that you would assume, okay, this is the way they're going to play it and then pull something out of left field. I don't scrutinize and don't have anywhere near the football knowledge that you have, but even I could see that. Yeah, I don't think...

you can call it an off night. I mean, that was, they were going to be all over him. So there was a reason for it. Well, what Nick's saying though is he didn't have those breakouts. Those breakouts. Gone. Yeah, yeah. Runs that we've seen so much. There were no home runs last night, you know, and like, but yeah, I don't think they win the Super Bowl obviously without that guy. Absolutely. You know, and it just was like, it just was a complete team effort. It was so much fun to watch. I don't mind a blowout.

when it's our team winning that way, you know? Let's go back to getting these people on the air. They're dying to talk. Let me go to Chris. Hi, Chris, you're on the air, buddy. Hi. Uh, first time, long time. Uh,

So, it's funny. This is the first time I've actually watched the whole season of the Eagles. I was never always a huge fan. But my mom moved to Charlotte, and her and I were always connecting, watching the Eagles game. And, you know, the NFC, she's calling me, crying her eyes out, missing Philadelphia. Missing that connection. Yeah.

And she called me last night crying so happy. And she's trying to get up here for the parade. Yeah. Even though she's never been to the parade, she's never cared for football. So I was wondering if I can get a huge Tom Jones shout out for her. Yes. We did it. Maybe in the end of that. We can do it. All right. We'll take that order. Here we go. Yes.

Wait, I gotta go. I gotta switch. Hold on, wait. Hold on. There we go. I just have to switch the windows. Go ahead, Chris.

My apologies. I had another request. I don't know if Steven Singer does returns. I just bought my girlfriend her first red gold rose. And I don't think I can give that to her right now because it's red.

It doesn't matter. At this point, game's over. We smoked our asses. Give her a red one. I don't care. Everybody, wear red all day today. I ordered a Kelly Green one, too, for her just this morning because this is her first rose from me. And I don't want her to remember it by red. She has to remember it with Kelly Green.

Give her the green first. Hang on. This just in, Chris. I literally got this from Steven Singer. Three Emerald City Rose gold roses available for giveaway today. We will be giving these away. Oh, there you go. Oh, I did not know that. You're good.

Oh, I can't give you one now. You already bought one. All right, you're good to go. Chris, give her whatever you got. All right, buddy, you're good to go. We got to move on to some other calls, but thank you so much and give your mom our best. We will go next to Chris B., who's on. Hi, Chris, you're on the air. Good morning, bud.

Hey, good morning, Ed. Good morning to see you. What's up, my man? Hey, how you doing? So I'm actually calling down here from Orlando. I'm actually walking my dog right now, Jersey. But I got on my Bad Things Happen in Philly shirt that I saw Casey wearing on his Instagram. So it...

He prompted me to buy it. I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about. I do. I know exactly what you're talking about. Love that shirt. But, oh, my God, I couldn't sleep yesterday. I was up at 430 in the morning driving my wife nuts, just pacing back and forth in the kitchen trying to prep some ribs.

But we're actually down here in Orlando. I moved here about 10 years ago. And I'm taking my five-month-old, Elliot, to the MVP parade at Magic Kingdom today. Very cool. Oh, that's awesome. So they do actually go. I went in 2017 with my dad. I'm starting to get emotional here. But, you know, when you look back at huge moments in your life, the birth of your baby, you know,

Your wedding... Your potty mouth is what you wanted to say. Just something like this is so big. And I think 20 years from now when we're able to capture everything now on social media and on the phone...

It's going to be awesome to share these pictures with her because it's going to be such a special day. That means, now listen, I completely understand what you're saying. There were tons of people relaying similar experiences with that gravity of emotion that you're talking about because it does mean something. It's something you'll remember forever. And what it happened, what it is, is that it's interwoven with your family and memories of your family. So we completely understand where you're at.

Yep, exactly. I was thinking about my aunt and my uncle that had season tickets that are no longer with us yesterday, and I am so excited to go. I want to say in 2017, there had to be 50,000 Eagles fans there on Main Street.

And it's going to be insane today. I started letting people know last week I was taking off today if they won. I will. I'm going to start doing some work today. And by 1030, I'm heading to Magic Kingdom. I can't wait. Enjoy, Chris. Thanks for checking in from Orlando. We appreciate it, buddy. Yeah, from Orlando. Here you go. Orlando. Orlando.

Okay, so I just wanted to say, you know, like, so my father passed away 10 years ago and like the Eagles winning two Super Bowls since then. Like, that's the only thing that really, really sucks is that he's not here. I had seen something. I think Phil Martelli posted it that people were tailgating at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery, which is where my father is, has been laid to rest.

And I don't know if that's true or not. I don't doubt it. But I drive past that cemetery to get to my brother's house. And all playoffs long, I can see where his headstone is. And when I would pass, I would say, hey, pop up and go birds. But yesterday, I pulled in on my way to my brother's house. And my father's laid to rest next to my aunt and uncle. So...

I had to. I had to stop by and share that with them. And I know that people all over the Delaware Valley were the same way. All right, let me go next to Melinda. Hi there, Melinda. Hi, you guys rock. Thank you, Melinda. What do you want to say?

I just wanted to say, I actually was on the radio last time they won, Super Bowl 52, and it was just kind of sad. Like Casey had mentioned, unfortunately, my grandfather didn't make it to see them win the first Super Bowl. But I also wanted to tell Case, I've been making sure that I wear the exact same outfit every single week, and so does my son. You did your job. Everybody did their job yesterday. Congratulations. Yeah, the proof is in the pudding. It has been an honor.

That's it. That's awesome. So, yeah. Now, are you going to clean it now? Or have you been washing it all along? That's the question. So, the shirt and the pants that I wore underneath the sweatshirt, yes. The sweatshirt, I have not been. Okay. And the stuff, I have been washing. All right. So, it worked. That seems to me that's okay. All through high school, I didn't wash my gym clothes one time. You'll be fine. And you graduated. Thank you, Lynn. I graduated. I finished, damn it. Okay.

So, Steve, did you ever get a fix on BirdBot? You were looking at the locations. Where is BirdBot? BirdBot is now in Mississippi. Oh. And it is on I-95 in Poplarville, Mississippi. It is on a main thoroughfare. So, by all...

looks a bit heading back. Well, we have somebody on the line who we know well. Helen is calling in and Helen has BirdBot for a bit. I don't know if she still has BirdBot or not, but let's check in. Yo, Helen!

Good morning, guys. You rock. You rock. Congratulations, Helen. Guys, this has been quite an amazing experience. But we won the Super Bowl. We did. I haven't stopped crying. Aw. All right. Best, best, best time.

Oh my gosh. Bird pie is safe. I had tried to hand bird pie off to anybody that wanted him. And everybody looked at me and said, no, you keep your fame and glory. What you're doing, keep doing. I've had so many people texting me bad things that I was a bad person for keeping his bird pie. Bird pie wanted to stay with me. He felt the love.

We know for a fact, we know that you did try to follow through and that I think what happened was, and a lot of people maybe who are being nasty with you didn't account for this, is that you become quite popular in your own right because you've been such a good steward for BirdBot. So there's nothing wrong with that. Listen, the original plan was to pass this along like a relay, but once you got a hold of them and you were the

who was going to get him down there in the time frame we needed. So it worked out. And you really, you didn't slack. You were getting him all over New Orleans. You did a great job. And just understand that sometimes the comments section can be a cesspool. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Don't worry about that. Who cares, Alan? We don't care. We want the Super Bowl! We want the Super Bowl!

I was talking with Greg Van Datt and messaged him with him. And he said, you're so clever. I play Bird Bot on a cart. Yep. He's got about 20,000 signatures over the weekend, guys. Hey, hey.

Where did you guys get that cart that you were pushing him around in? So my boyfriend and I go to the beach a lot. And when we were leaving, he said, listen, are you comfortable to carry that? And I said, I could probably carry it for like a block because it's quite obnoxious. And we're like, you know what? Let's make him a platform. It's BirdBot. He's the queen, the king of New Orleans. Guys, I can't even thank you guys.

This has been the most amazing experience I've ever done. Well, you know, it was funny, Helen, because we're checking on pictures and Casey sends out a picture. I had not realized this. There's you. Thank you, Casey, boys, for everything. Yeah, you and Hoda Kotb. Yeah. Oh, my God.

I want to tell you something. Hoda Kotb is my friend Marcy, of course, with me. Walked over to Hoda. Hoda looked over and went, oh, my God, what is that cute thing? She came over and kissed him. Seth Joyner kissed him. Shady McCoy. Hollis loved Bird Vibes. Oh, my God. I wouldn't let anybody sign his helmet except Seth Joyner and Hollis.

Oh, my God. That is great. And then you got into the, were you at the Four Walls event as well? So I couldn't get into, well, yeah. So that's where we were at. Not last night. Well, last night we were at the best game of our life. The night before we were at that with Marissa. Yep. Marissa came to meet us.

I believe that's where we were. Yes, you were with Rob McElhenney and Caitlin Olsen and Marissa there and Bird Bot right in the middle. But, Helen, you were at the game. I want to... No, you were at the game. You were... Okay, what time did you get into the game? We got into the game. We were here at Marcy's party where we were invited to. Hi, guys. Hi. So, we were invited to Mesa and Associates' tailgate.

But unfortunately, because of how Super Bowl was barricaded, we couldn't get over this eight-foot-tall fabric where the Super Bowl was. So we walked around for like three hours.

I'm trying to find this. Okay. Unfortunately, we could not get her body NFL experience because we didn't have credentials. And it stands to reason, obviously, the side of, you know, they just had a recent attack. And you have something that's in a big tub that looks...

It's suspicious. There's no way they were going to let that get in. Absolutely. So instead, we had 500 insomnia cookies that we handed out to the Eagles fans, to the SWAT team there, to the police, to the people that were helping out.

I just shared silly love with everybody. That's great. And the general consensus, because we've said before, New Orleans was overrun with Eagles fans. All you encountered love. Were there any detractors? Were there any Kansas City fans who were trying to get their hands on Bird Bot? Was everything all cool?

Well, I want you to know that we were pretty partial that you were not allowed to touch our birds. Do not jinx our bird. Don't jinx our team. But this one lady said, I listened to WMMR and I looked at her and I went, you're a Kansas fan.

She said, I moved to Kansas City years ago, but my dad loved, loved, loved WMMR. And I said, please take a picture. Well, you guys posted her on Instagram. She messaged me and she said, my dad is smiling above in heaven. Guys, we have tried the whole time. That is great. Wow. That is awesome. It's an amazing, amazing run. Helen, we have a bunch of people on hold. We need to take some other calls, but so happy of what you guys did with BirdBot and taking them around and celebrating.

So many Eagles fans got a moment with Bird Bot. And you're going to bring him back here, right?

Do you want me to bring him back to your station? Yep. Yeah, eventually. Either that or I'll come and get it from you at the pizza place. Yeah, we'll figure that out. Oh, man, if you do that, you'll make me feel like a rock star because everybody would love that. I tell you what we need to do. We need to get BirdBot and ourselves. We need to get BirdBot down to the parade. Oh, definitely. BirdBot 1 came to the parade with us, so we got your ass. All right, Helen, we got to run. We'll talk to you soon, okay? God bless you, Bill Deppie.

By the way, Preston, third thought, two for two. Yeah, two for two. A lot of people were texting in that very stat, which is a beautiful thing. All right, so let me see. We've got a bunch of other calls to go to. Hang on, I want to go to this one. I have Chris who is calling in. Chris, good morning. Good morning. Hi. Congratulations. I'm congratulating everybody. You know what I mean? Of course. All right, Chris, what's up?

So we got my son in October, this like five foot Frankenstein, right? And he decided, it's like five minutes after I got him, he puts a Jalen Hurts jersey on him. He's like, when he's 15, he's like, Ma, this thing is going to get us to the Super Bowl. Watch. They're not going to lose. I swear, Mama. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, kid. So...

They didn't lose. They brought this thing downstairs. The only time they lost was the game that Jalen Hurts didn't play or got hurt in. And my kid was like, I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. This thing sat while we opened our Christmas presents. It sat through his birthday. I wasn't allowed to touch him. I wanted to put a Santa beard on him. Nothing. So now my son's wearing the jersey today to school. Abertown, go for it.

And I swear to God, after the parade, I'm like, you get a Bryce Harper jersey on. Yes. Put a bead. You know, yeah.

I love it. All right, Chris, thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. By the way, we're going to open up Casey's premonition in just a moment here. We've got to find out what that was. There's another call I wanted to go to. Hang on real quick. Yeah, let me go to Lindsay. She's got a comment. Hi, Lindsay. Good morning. Go Birds! Go Birds! What's up, Lindsay?

I would like to confirm my nine-month son stuffed him into a six-month onesie. Buttons were popping. Yes. But he did it, and they won. And they won. Yes, you told us that you were going to cram him like a sausage into that thing, and you did it. And for a little bit of uncomfortability, we have a Super Bowl victory. So good for you. That's good parenting.

Yes, and something that was very, very funny when we went to the Super Bowl game, he got a little scared when people started screaming really, really loudly. But like any good toddler, anytime he stuck food in his face, he stopped crying. There you go. I saw so many kids with headphones on at various Eagles functions. I was a bad parent and forgot the headphones. He'll learn. It's a good situation.

thing. That's right. I'm just a little jealous that he's nine months and it took me 20 some odd years to get a Super Bowl. No time like the present to learn sign language. Growing up spoiled. I know. I know. I think I got to change it out first. I already checked. Rally House, for any parents out there, does have Super Bowl onesies. There you go. Okay. All right. Thanks, Lindsay. We appreciate it. Hang on. I want to go to Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Good morning. Michelle, can you hear me from Northeast Philly, living in Nashville? Are you there?

Oh, that's too bad. She's fired up. Great energy. She's in Nashville. Wanted to call into Philly. Spread the love. Hold on. Michelle, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you, Preston. Yeah. How you feeling? We love E-A-T-L-E-L.

All right. Are you you're from the northeast, huh? I am. Mayfair, baby. Unfortunately, plane crash. But walk to that mall for 25 years or more. Love it. And I am. Oh, my God. I'm working right now. And I'm like literally working. And I am. Oh, my God. I'm on the radio. Are you in Nashville right now?

I'm literally like Nashville. 3-7-2-1-2, mother... Oh, I can't breathe. Oh, my God, I'm on the radio. Yo, go Eagles. Yes. Yes. All right, Michelle, thank you with the love from Nashville. Rock on. Oh, my God, I'm so excited. I'm about to cry. I'm going to cry.

Go ahead, cry. It's tears of joy. Hey. I'm just crying. Like, this is awesome. Like, literally, I'm in my kitchen just walking around like a moan. I don't even know what to do. Hey, Michelle, were there any celebrations in Nashville last night? That place is a party town.

I kind of got really drunk, so I don't remember. Okay. Yay! Yay! And people asked me if I got home okay, and I said yes. And at 4 o'clock this morning, which is 5 o'clock your time. And, oh, my God, I love my son Robert, and I love sweet Lucy because he works there. And I love you guys. I miss you guys so much.

We miss you too. I am a devouted fan of Phil Abundance. I volunteer every year. I come home on vacation. I'm a greeter at the front, the thingy, like when people are all in. The thingy, yeah. No, we absolutely know what you're talking about. Can you believe I'm on FM radio? Yes. Your dreams have all come true. All right, Michelle, we love you. Thank you so much. Hopefully we'll see you sometime. Go birds. I'll see you in December.

All right. All right. All right. I love it. Oh, my God. She's at work. She's in her kitchen. She's all over. She doesn't know what she's doing. No. That's crazy. Plane crash? What? Okay. Shout out to Mayfair. All right. So, you know what? Let's open this up. This is driving me crazy. This was Casey's premonition. He put it in an envelope. This was not...

A prediction. There is a difference. This came to him. These numbers came to him. Yeah, and I was talking to my brother about it last night. I don't like making predictions. I don't like going public. People are like, oh, I don't like calling wins and stuff like that. I feel like I'm a mush. But this came to you. And I'm bad luck. And so last week, yeah, it just came to me. And I tried...

I tried to shake the numbers from my head, and these were the numbers that stuck. Okay. And we sealed it. I'm opening this up. Professor, this was stored in a mayonnaise jar on Funkin' Wagnall's porch. And let's see what he has written. Casey had Chiefs 17, Eagles 34. Oh! However...

I will say, I will say, I called a 17-point victory. The birds won by 18. I mean, I called a blowout. I called a straight-up blowout. You did. Yes. There you go. Yeah. Nick, what was your prediction? Now, Nick made a prediction, not a premonition. Kath, go ahead. I wrote it down. I said, do not open until Monday, and I taped it for posterity. Okay, and Nick said...

37-20. So I also predicted an Eagles win by 17 points, Casey. Wow. Is that wild? Yeah. And so I think we were both right. Yes. Why not? Everyone wins. Now.

Prop bet. Yeah. Oh, yeah, there was a prop bet with Kathy and Nick over how many times Taylor Swift would be shown during the broadcast. By the way, I said Kathy would be right if I'm getting any points. You're not getting anything. I texted Kathy in the first quarter and I was like,

Has she even been on TV once yet? And I think she was on early. It was like one time at that point. And then Travis Kelsey really was a no-show last night. And so he did something maybe in the second quarter. And then they showed her again. I believe she was only on television twice. I think so. There was no reason to show her. They're not going to show...

sad paler that's right yeah so kathy absolutely smoked me so i am going to be buying kathy her favorite bottle of champagne as a reward and congratulations yet again uh i told him crystal of course of course all right uh let me get this other call we're gonna have to take a break here in just a second uh because we do have some people we're gonna talk to here hopefully uh melanie has an interesting uh comment to make hey melanie good morning

Good morning. Hi, Melanie. Hey, so go birds. Go birds. My husband has to have emergency open heart surgery on Wednesday night.

So we were in the hospital. He was really bummed. He was probably going to miss the Super Bowl, that we were going to have to watch it in the hospital room. Well, the hospital room, all the Fox channels were not working. Oh, my God. So we were so afraid that he was going to, you know, that we were going to get stuck missing the Super Bowl. They let him go the day of the Super Bowl. They let him out of the hospital? Yeah. Even though he has pending surgery? Okay. Open heart surgery. He had...

He had open heart surgery, double bypass on Wednesday night. I see. So he had the surgery and he was recuperating. They gave him a special pass to leave the hospital early so he could watch the Super Bowl. Melanie, this is a legitimate question. Were you concerned at all that if things would have gone badly, that it could have killed him? Yes. Yes.

Yeah, honestly. Yes, the stress. I kept on telling him, you have to stay calm. You know what? As much as you love the Eagles and all this kind of stuff, it's a game. You have to stay calm. Yeah, and the Eagles did you guys a solid by blowing the absolute pants off of the Chiefs. He didn't have to worry about anything from that time on. No stress. Yeah, exactly. It was great. It was perfect. It was like by the end of the third quarter, he's like, oh, no problem. We got all this. Excellent. But he...

He was so quiet, so mellow, which is totally not like him. Usually the F-bombs are flying. Didn't need that. No. There was no need for that. And the dogs were running outside, you know, but he was nice and mellow and calm and, you know, brought a cheer to his eye after they won. But it was good.

That's excellent. And we're glad to hear he's doing well. Speedy recovery to him, please, Melanie. And thank you for checking in. We appreciate that. All right. So there's a lot of people. And this is what we did a few years ago, seven years ago when we won. We just opened up the phones and had people say what they want to say. I love this. So let's take a break. We'll come back in a second. We do have to do the bizarre file. We have a gentleman we're going to talk to in a moment, I think, courtesy of...

Well, I'll get it figured out. We're going to take a quick break. We might have Barkan on. We might have Marissa on. It's a might all the way around because people had a late, late, late, late night last night. But we're keeping the calls coming, correct? Yeah. Not when we come back, but the next segment. We'll do more calls in a little bit. So we'll return shortly. Stay with us.

The Preston and Steve Show. Like the podcast? You'll also love it live. When you can call in. Weekdays from 6 a.m. to about 10.30 a.m. on the radio at 93.3 WMMR.

Or stream the show live via MMR's mobile app. Thank you very much, Kathy. Yes. Being the champions comes with it some wonderful things, including all that great merch you can get. Yes, absolutely. Of course, people are lining up for immediately. And besides something you can wear, how about something you can keep at home and display and show proudly? We are going to welcome on to tell us about a very product like that from Nikko Sports. We have Mr. Bob.

Bob Dunk, who is joining us. Bob, good morning to you, sir. Good morning, Preston and Steve. I know we've chatted before. I'm so excited for the Eagle fans. I used to work in your city as a sports center many years ago, and my son played baseball at LaSalle. I am all Philadelphia, and what a blowout. 40-22 in a

And I know now the fans are going to want to have this keepsake that I'll be talking about. Because it's very limited. Only 5,000 of these officially licensed Super Bowl footballs, the real deal, are going to be made through Raise Some Monies for the Eagles Autism Foundation. It's a great group that we've worked with.

There are $129.95 each. You'll get an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. And everything I want to point out, guys, is embossed on the football. They're all handmade, and all the logos and the stats and the photographs of the players are embossed on there, so it'll keep a pristine look. It's almost like engraving it into the side.

Now, before I give out that phone number, these are $129.95 each. Only $5,000 will be made. On the top panel, you'll have the official Super Bowl logo, stadium history, championship history for the birds right there. Then the second panel lays out the entire 2024 schedule with the opponent states. So you'll be able to recap everything that happened. The third panel is really cool. We've got the MVP, Hertz, 4K.

photograph of Jalen right there and also another one of Barkley with his stats. So you get all that on this football. And again, only $5,000 made. Here's how you can get it. Put it up in your home or office. The toll-free number to call is 1-800-

800-345-2868. Again, that's 800-345-2868. Or, if you can't get through the phone lines, don't worry. Go right to the website. You can order it there. Nikosports.com. You spell it N-I-K-C-O-Sports.com.

Again, that's N-I-K-C-O sports.com or call 800-345-2868. And when you go to the website, you can download a gift flyer that has a picture of the football and you can have it instantly. So if you're thinking of maybe a Valentine's Day gift for that person or you got

some upcoming anniversaries or Mother's Day, Father's Day is not that far away. This is the item for that Eagles fan. Yes. Even if you've got somebody who's got a birthday not until the summertime, hang on to it. Give them that then. These are valuable. Down the road, I remember the one we did back with your show back in, I think it was 2017 when they won the first time. I've looked on eBay and some of those footballs are going for $500 or more.

Yeah, no doubt. And I love the fact that a percentage of each purchase is going to go to the Eagle Autism Foundation, which is a wonderful thing. And obviously, they've thrown their full-throated support behind this. It is a great-looking item. And, you know, the energy is at an all-time high right now. Oh, I wish I was there. I was there for the Phillies parade many, many years ago when I was a sports center, 1980. Wow.

I won a World Series, and that's Dallas Green. He was the one who eventually hired me and took me to Chicago where I was with the Chicago Cubs for 10 years. Wow. Wow. All right. Well, listen, we will get the word out, Bob, to everybody. Nikosports.com spelled N-I-K-C-O, sports, S-P-O-R-T-S, .com, or you can call 800-345-2868 and get these while these last, I would assume, because like you said, it's a limited edition. Jump on it.

Jump on it because only 5,000. And I know when I look at that parade coming up, there's going to be more than 5,000 people at that. Yeah, yeah, just a bit. Just a bit by many factors. So, yeah, get it now.

All right, guys. Hey, listen, it's always a pleasure to talk to you. Stay healthy, and we'll talk again soon. You got it. Bob Dunn, thank you from Nikko Sports, and that offer available for a limited time. We don't mind talking to them because it's always after a Super Bowl win. Yes, yes. Spirits are hot. Yes, yes. All right, we got some B-File stories to do, so we're going to get to it now. Bizarre. WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Files.

Brought to you by Protein Collision. And if you find yourself in an accident, trust pros. Protein Collision, your trusted auto body repair shop located in King of Prussia. You can go to ProteinCollision.com. Oh, this is a messed up story to start with. I couldn't believe this when I saw it. But the family of a young mother who died after inhaling helium at her child's birthday party. Oh, my gosh. Have described their desperate efforts to save the woman. Faith Waterman Batistich.

Her loved ones say that helium sales should also be restricted after a moment of lighthearted fun killed the mother of two in a matter of seconds. A 20-year-old woman died despite an hour-long battle to save her life. And I tell you this is a cautionary tale because of what happened here. The death was referred to the coroner who released a warning about the dangers of inhaling helium.

And her twin sister Eden said it started off as a normal day. The family were preparing for the first birthday of Faith's second child and they've been using a helium canister to fill balloons for the party. Members of the group began inhaling helium from the balloons to make their voices higher. And another member of the group suggested inhaling directly from the canister...

Saying that they had done it before and it took some convincing for Faith to agree to inhale from the canister. And as she inhaled, another person turned up the flow on the canister. No, no. And her sister said it went too fast and kind of shot her in the back of the neck. Her last words were literally O.S.,

And then she fell to the ground and died. She said, I was in shock. I just kind of froze. What the F am I seeing? Faith went blue instantly, according to her mom. And they began giving her CPR for 45 minutes. Paramedics arrived. They did it for 20 minutes.

and they gave her shots of adrenaline and nothing was working uh helium gas attached to oxygen molecules uh in her and once that happened there was no saving her it wouldn't matter whether she was even in a hospital environment when it happened there was no coming back from it uh helium gas when inhaled displaces oxygen in the lungs causes hypoxia low blood oxygen which can cause damage and ultimately death if it's too much but this thing had such a

force. It shot in there. So whoever turned that handle is responsible for death. Yeah. So don't ever do that, gang. All right. A California-based hot air balloon company is offering mile-high flights with amorous mile-high club privileges over the Temakula countryside. So

So guests can enjoy the views with a whole basket to themselves and a privacy screen separating the pilot compartment from the passenger compartment. I was going to ask that question because you're fairly close to the pilot in those things. So they've got everything covered. So the pilot, who Magical Adventure Balloon rides promises, will be wearing protective hearing gear and focused solely on flying. How's it going over there, guys? Ascends the balloon to 5,280 feet, which is about 2,000 feet higher than a typical recreational flight.

When, while intimate clinches are usually thoroughly discouraged in the skies, this company invites you to bring your own bedding and music playlist. A complimentary champagne breakfast is included in to fuel your frolics of whatever sort. Ah!

So the price to go up and bang in a balloon is about $1,400. And if your mantra is the more the merrier, each additional adult in the larger 10-person basket is $159. You could have an orgy if you wanted to. Here's my problem with that. You're down in the basket. The whole purpose of being up at that altitude is to kind of see everything around you. The only...

One person's going to be looking up at the balloon and the burner, you know, and the other one's looking at a wicker floor. Right. So, to me, stay on the ground and then take a balloon ride. You could do that. Or you could do standing doggy and everybody gets to look out. Yeah. And then the pilot can watch. Yeah.

An apparent road rage incident in Washington State had sparks flying and not in a good way. It happened last Saturday. Authorities said a woman was driving when a four-door Dodge truck began following her. The truck passed her, but then someone started shooting fireworks at her car. It appears a person in the passenger seat was launching a Roman candle-style firework, shooting sparks onto the road. The truck drove off once a woman pulled into a parking lot.

And the sheriff's office has been asking the public to help find the owner of that particular Dodge. That's the Roman candle bandit. Here is a story out of Australia for you, Steve. Reptile hunters say they've been stunned to rescue 102 venomous snakes from someone's backyard mulch pile in Sydney. Yeah, that sounds about right. Curry Kawaro said that his business was initially called to rescue a bunch of the reptiles after one was reported to have bitten a dog on the property.

When his colleague arrived, he discovered 40 red-bellied black snakes, four of which gave birth to more live young ones once he had placed them in a removal bag. He has a lot of snakes. Red-bellied black snakes are one of the most common venomous species in Australia, but have not caused any human deaths on record at all. The five adult and 97 baby snakes.

are currently under quarantine and will be released into a national park once the weather cools. Mr. Caruaro said that it was a record haul for the snake handlers who normally catch between 5 and 15 reptiles a day. Could you imagine having a mulch pile with all those deadly snakes in it?

Female red-bellied black snakes often gather in small groups when they are ready to give birth, possibly to protect against predators. So they like to do it more than that. And that is what we will give to you in the Bizarre File for now, friend. We will take a break. Can I give one of these away? Yeah. All right. How about...

All right, friends. We want to hear from you. Is there anything at all you want to share this morning? A story from last night? Where were you? What did you do? Were you part of the celebration? Somebody do something stupid at your house or your party? Whatever it is. 214.

263-WMMR. That is a number. It's a version of Open Phonadelphia. Open Phonadelphia. That we have done before. Open Phonadelphia. Let you speak and say what you want to say this morning. I want to hear if someone won some big money and or lost some big money. Could have lost some big money. Listen to some of the pop bets. P-A-T-H-E-R.

I was a winner. Kathy won from Nick, by the way. And while we're waiting for people to buzz in and share some stuff, just to briefly touch on the

Other things and the absolute wipeout blowout of the game, obviously the commercials and the halftime show and all that stuff, which I kind of just semi-paid attention to this year. I would do a general review of eh. Yeah, yeah. There were a couple of things that made me laugh commercial-wise. I just need to give my favorite one is the Mountain Dew seal commercial. That was funny. It was...

so disturbing. It was almost like, you know, the Skittles did really weird commercials for a while. And they had the, what was the puppy monkey baby thing? They had a reference to that. That's another weird one. So that was kind of the bizarro. That went in the one where the guy's tongue jumped out of his mouth and everything. I didn't like the tongue one. Yeah, that was weird. You know what I didn't like? The cowboy hat, the skin cowboy hat one. Yeah, that was weird too.

We're basically for Tubi where you were born to love westerns and so the guy's head is a flesh cowboy hat. There was a lot of uncanny valley, disturbing uncanny valley stuff going on last night. Yeah, definitely with CGI and stuff. Now I'm not a good barometer because of the commercials that I usually like. People are like, eh, not one of the great ones. But you know which one I really got a kick out of, I loved, was Liquid Death.

The water? Yeah. I thought that was clever because when you first saw somebody drinking liquid death, you're like, oh, that's a new craft beer of some type. Right, right. It's water. And they had doctors, police officers, people that were in the middle of cracking them open. Slamming these things down. Pilots. Yeah. Right as they're about to take off, they're slamming. I thought that was a clever spot. It really was. By the way, I'm a huge fan of that stuff. I got into it. I was...

drinking it like, I mean, it's water. I get it. But I think the can doesn't corrupt the taste. I don't know what's going on, but at the MMRBQ, I had a load of them. Yeah. I love the Martha Stewart breakdancing video. Oh, yeah. See that one? See that? I got the little Uncanny Valley from you. The little Uncanny Valley. I thought it was kind of weird.

The other one I liked, there were only two that I jotted down. Yeah, these hit home with me, was the breast cancer spot. Yeah. Where they did all the close-ups of everybody's boobs. Yeah. And all things that looked like cleavage. Oh, I didn't see it. It was a fun play. I mean, Kathy, it was just like...

30 seconds of just boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs. And eventually, I knew it was going to be probably a breast cancer spot. I thought that was pretty clever as well. It was delivered well. I got a little choked up at the Google commercial where the girl grew up over time. Yes, and the dad's hugging her through the window of the car. She's dropping her off. And she came back and gave him a hug. Yeah, he was dropping her off at college because my son is 18. And he went down to Broad Street last night and he was celebrating. So I felt that.

one. Google does hold, they did the one with the, you know, this is a picture of when I first met my wife. Remember that one? That was a while back, right? Her vagina really smelled. We did a parody of it. They're good at that, though. The

But the Clydesdale thing was sort of underwhelming. Yeah. The one that I thought, the Mountain Dew was good. They did something I thought was kind of clever. Instacart used all of the symbols from all of the products that would be in an Instacart bag that someone had ordered from a supermarket. And they were legendary campaigns. Legendary campaigns, right down to the Old Spice guy on the horse. And the Energizer Bunny. The Energizer Bunny. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I'm like, okay, where are they going with this? Because when they start to cram...

so much into a spot, you lose me. It's overwhelming. I thought the Dunkings ad was like, at first, okay, here's Ben Affleck, we've seen this bit before, and then there was too much going on. They had his brother. Yeah, I saw Casey Affleck. They had Belichick with his, what's her name, Jordan. Oh, super hot girlfriend. Right. And I tell you, Preston,

Just seeing pictures is one thing. But when she's actually moving next to him moving, it's... You want to talk about Uncanny Valley? Ungodly Valley is what that is. Because she's stunning. And he really looks like... He's about... Well, listen, in comparison, the guy's not going to die. He's a grandpa. He looks like a grandpa.

father. Did you guys like the Glenn Powell Dodge one? It was cute. I liked the rock music to that. And yeah, he was kind of a badass. I enjoyed that. You know what caught me off guard? So many of them were, again, were eh. But Harrison Ford did his little thing for Jeep. And then at the end, he goes, I love Jeep. He goes, and my name is Ford. Which is a nice little tag. Yeah. This came out of left field. I think less is more in a lot of these cases. Um,

What were some of the other ones that come to mind? I jotted down a few. The McConaughey...

So you want to talk about jamming a commercial full of things that people don't know. So there's about 90 different people in those McConaughey spots, and I forget what they were for, but Greta Gerwig, who directed Barbie. So if you, you know, most people aren't going to know her when he's asking, can you direct a movie for me? So they're jamming all of the, you know what was, here's the one that was universally hated, was the Kanye spot.

Yeah. Did you see that one? I didn't get it. I mean, I was sitting there. I'm like, what is this? And then at the end, the pitch comes and I was just like, this was dumb. What was it? He's there. Check out Yeezy.com or whatever it is. Oh, Yeezy's. Okay. Right. It was with his teeth. It was stupid. It was dumb. Expensive. Yeah. All right.

All right, well, listen. Besides the spots, obviously, it was a big night all the way around. What happened? Huge blowout. You didn't hear? We won the Super Bowl! Hey, let me remind you what happened. For the second time, the Vince Lombardi trophy is headed to Philadelphia. Eagles fly in Super Bowl 59. That's what happened. All right, we're going to take some calls. We're opening this up. This is for you. We have Sean who's on the line. Hi, Sean. You're on the air. Good morning, buddy.

Rack them. Rack them. Rack them. So how'd it go last night, man? It went really good last night. I don't know if you've been watching the news or not. So I emailed Casey last week, and I had a dream that the Eagles scored a touchdown on a pick six. Okay. And I was so confident in this.

Then I smacked a couple bets down and I walked away with $700. Nice! Look at that firing. Intercepted! Picked up by Cooper Djean. Gets a block. Djean is in! Touchdown! And $700 to Sean. $700. And so he gets what? That's his... His birthday. An interception, a touchdown, and his birthday. And his birthday. And I believe it was his first career interception.

I mean, you can't. It was beautiful. Seamus turned to me. He goes, this is so scripted. You know what I mean? Because you just you can't write it up any better. But like 22, that particular play, I actually had a plate in my hand with a soft chocolate chip cookie on it. And when he intercepted the ball, I put that plate down. That's how powerful that's what that meant to you. My goodness. All right. Hang on. I'm going to go to Chris next. Hi, Chris. You're on the air. Good morning.

Hey, how you guys doing, man? Good, my man. What's up, Chris? Nothing, buddy. I just wanted to give a shout out to my boy, Josh Zumo. He's one of the biggest Eagles fans I know. We couldn't be together last night, but we did it, baby. Go birds. Yes. Thank you, Chris. I'm going to throw a shard in there. Absolutely. Anybody wants to do that, feel free, man. We're just opening up the phones. I'm going to go to Connie next. Hi, Connie. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, what's up, Connie?

Hey, good morning from Kansas City. Oh, wow. How are things there?

I was at a bar last night watching the game, and everybody was wearing red. I was the only one in green, and man, that bar got quiet. Were you surprised, Connie? I mean, listen, everyone who is kind of approaching this from a sober point of view was saying it's going to be close. And when you saw that initial leap out ahead and then points just kept getting racked up, it became clear something was going in an other direction.

Describe the difference between the beginning zeal of that bar and about what point did it become a mausoleum?

Oh, my gosh. When they were still down in the first quarter, everybody was just like, oh, we still got a chance. We still got it. We got it. We'll come back. We'll come back. And then second quarter, and everybody was just like, holy cow. Can't believe this is happening. The game's over. You couldn't believe it. And as they were pointing out, in case you would know this better than I, but the –

Mahomes and that team is known for those kind of comebacks. Yeah. And so being up 24-0 at half, I wasn't comfortable. Right. You know what I mean? Because I knew that they were getting the ball back in the first, you know, in the second half. And they scored a touchdown. Okay, now they're only down by 17 points. You know what I mean? But, man, the defense just would not relent. They were beating him up.

It was great. It was great. I mean, I was the only one cheering and everything in the dirtiest looks I've got. Connie, Connie, how long have you been in Kansas City?

It'll be 20 years in May. 20 years? And you never went over to the red side, huh? Nope, nope. I never did. All right. Well, we appreciate it. I'm a big Skyhawk Birds fan. Love it. I'm so happy today. I'm wearing my Eagles shirts today, and I'm going to work, and I'm just going to be like, ha!

All right, Connie. Thanks for checking in. We appreciate it. I wonder what's going to... Preston, with people around the country, as we're hearing all these people talk about the migration that's going to take place to Philadelphia by the end of the week. Oh, my God, yeah. I mean, what you saw happening in New Orleans and that stadium, if that's indicative...

of the kind of mobilization that we can look forward to at the end of this week. It's going to be insanity. My stepbrother, who I never talked to, lives in Kentucky. And without influence from me whatsoever, he is a massive Eagles fan. He's coming in town. I was texting Casey last night, our friend Gustav, who lives in Sweden. He's a Swede. He's not a family member who moved to Sweden. He was born and raised in Sweden.

Send us a picture of him watching the game at 3.30 in the morning Sweden time. Oh, man. Wearing his hat, wearing his shirt, the whole thing. He was all fired up. Oh, that's funny. He wants to go to a game next season. So, Casey, I'll probably buy your tickets for a game some point. Did he? Or this coming season. By the way, to double back, and this is a little bit disturbing, but I need to point this out. Nick went to Yeezy.com. Do you know what happens when you go on there? Is it a Nazi sign? What is it? Yeah. It's a shirt.

With a swastika on it. Well, this freaking guy. What? Yeah. Come on. What? Yep. Enough. Enough. All right. Let me go to Kyle next. Hey, Kyle. Morning, bud. Good morning, Texas. How you doing, buddy? Go, Bucks! Go, Bucks! Oh, man, dude. That game was amazing, man. I was loving the whole thing, but this is the best part of the game for me, man. Cooper DeGene just hit that pick six.

And, man, me and my whole family, we're singing the Fly Eagles fly. And my buddy who's over, who's a commander's fan, is sitting there. My buddy's shooting a video of this thing. And he just zooms up on his face. And that little sad, pouty face was just the funniest thing to see. I'm going to read this whole song next to him.

Did you get that? As you're watching it, Kyle, I mean, and, you know, Casey was just mentioning the defense and how they were just all over. I've never, listen, I'm a casual observer when it comes to this. But to your mind, have you, had you ever seen Mahomes that apparently flustered?

Oh, my God. The look on his face when he went in for halftime made my night, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never seen Mahomes stymied like that, ever. Tim and Kelsey were probably holding each other, crying in the locker room. All right, Kyle. Thanks, buddy. Appreciate it, man. Kelsey looked miserable the whole game. He did. I mean, he looked like he wanted to cry every time they put him on camera. Go ahead. But you

You've won twice already. Yeah! Knock it off! Two years in a row. I don't feel bad for the guy. This is not a crying level event. You've won twice already. Don't cry. Sorry you didn't get your third Super Bowl in a row, bud. The big three-peat thing. Did you see what Mahomes was talking about in his press conference after the thing? And he was saying, losing...

is far worse than the emotional high of winning. Yeah. Which was an interesting take on it. Yeah, I've heard other players this weekend when I was just watching, I watch so much football stuff. That's why yesterday, before the game, I didn't watch anything football. Did that make sense to you? Yeah, so what they were saying is that

If you lose in the Super Bowl, you kind of wish you actually just went 0-16 that season instead. They would have much rather gone winless and not even made the playoffs than lose in the Super Bowl. And this is from people who have won Super Bowls as well. As far as cogent post-loss...

The guy is very eloquent. He really was and was kind of giving decent insight. Mahomes? Yeah, yeah. That's the thing. I mean, people were rooting against the Chiefs because it was a three-peat and they've won everything and Mahomes has won everything. And hopefully the rest of the country will start to hate the Eagles like that because that just means that we're successful. Right. But Mahomes is a pretty likable guy. Travis Kelsey, pretty likable. Yeah.

They're not the Patriots. Do you know what I mean? I think a more likable team than the Pats. All right, let me go to Brandon. Hey, Brandon, good morning. Talking to me? Yeah, bud. Is your name Brandon? No, it's Brian. Brian! You are now known as Brandon. Hey, Brian, how you doing, man? That's fine. You can call me anything. Just don't call me late for dinner. Yeah. All right, what's your story, buddy?

Never. Never.

I stayed home with my friends last night, and they blew them out. Yep, there you go. I'm never leaving for the Super Bowl again. Listen, this is science, if you stop and think about it, because BirdBot, as you well know, I'm sure, Brian, BirdBot, second time involved in the Eagles' run for the Super Bowl, second time they've won. So listen, the data is clear. You have to be at home, and BirdBot has to be a part of the run.

100% agree with you. You do your part, we'll do ours, Brian. Thanks, man. I'll go to Tom. Hey, Tom, morning, bud. Morning. Hey, you're on the air. Go ahead. Yeah. I'm just so glad to see our Eagles win it. Yeah. Yeah. The Chiefs, the way they did it for a rookie, a 22-year-old kid to run that field that touchdown down. That was just the icing on the cake. It tells the Chiefs that no matter what,

How long you've been in or how short you've been in there, as long as you work your butt off, you're going to make it. Let me ask you something, Tom. And we've all kind of agreed on this. The early signs that this was going to be a blowout made it so much more enjoyable. I know people say, oh, I like a nail biter and I like to win that way. To me, no. In fact, if I could know ahead of time that they were going to win, I'd even take that. How do you feel about having a blowout like this? I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it to the point. I've been with the Eagles for my whole life. I'm 54 years old. To see them take this the way they did, and last night there was no problems in Philly. There was a little bit of problems, but we celebrate it every

Everything's still standing. We got the trophy. It is going to be a nice day. We lost some linens. We lost some linens. All right, thank you, Tom. Appreciate it, buddy. Casey, I wanted to ask you, leading up to it, if you felt any FOMO. Because last week, we were chatting about the possibility of maybe going down, and you were kind of against it from the get-go, which I totally get. Did you experience any FOMO over the weekend? No, no, no, zero FOMO. Listen, I don't have a whole lot of interest in going to New Orleans,

Anyway. Okay. But no, like I was in Jacksonville. We lost. I drove to Phoenix. I wasn't there for the game, but I was in the town and we lost. And so like, yeah, I'm like, okay, I'm a mush when I go to that town. Like so much so that if they ever put a Super Bowl in Philadelphia, I would leave a week and I would have to broadcast live from like, I don't know, like my short answer. I wouldn't even care. You can send me to Tulsa.

You know, just anywhere as far away from the city as I possibly can. Nick, did you have a little FOMO seeing this stuff? You wanted to be there, right? A little bit because... Not the game. I don't really care that much about going to the Super Bowl. But New Orleans looked like a lot of fun over the last couple days. In large part because of the number of Philadelphians who were there. Like, you look up and down Bourbon Street. Yes. There were a ton of people celebrating. And...

and more people that I knew were there. And, like, I was psyched that Marissa got to go. I was really glad because, you know, she lives for this kind of stuff. And the fact that she got to be there, that made me happy. Nick, I saw the Fox set up and they were doing those overheads and the street, it was all green. It was all Eagles green. And to see just...

Never looking better. Obviously, Bourbon Street can look really bad. But it looked phenomenal. Yes, it looked like a party you'd want to attend. Speaking of Fox, did you guys see Alex Folley's post yesterday where they sent her home and she was crying? Was she actually crying? Is it an act? It's a filter. It is. Oh, okay. Well, then I fell for it. I wasn't sure. So watching the game last night, you know, I was definitely anxious because, you know, it's the Super Bowl.

But...

You know, when A.J. Brown got called for that offensive pass interference in the very first series, I was like, oh, no. Yeah. Here we go. Right. Right. You thought the much touted favoritism is now on display. It was a terrible call, so much so that I wish like New York or whoever that is in their headsets just would have said, pick that freaking flag up now. That's you know what I mean? You can't be calling that right. You know, and then we ended up kind of getting a make up call.

The same way, you know, I guess you could say it was offensive pass interference, but it was a little ticky-tack. You know, we got a make-up call, like, the very next series, and I'm like, okay, all right, we're even now. Can we just play the game of football? You know what I mean? What did you think of Brady's calling? I think it's fine. He was doing a little bit of back-in-my-day type of thing. He did a lot of that, but it was interesting. But it's also his first season calling, right? So, like, the more he does that, the least...

He's going to go, well, you know, the one thing I didn't like when he was, you know, I like to call that milk in the clock. I'm like, everybody!

Everybody calls that milk in the clock. That's not a Tom Brady saying. You didn't come up with that. You didn't come up with that. Did you guys notice that his watch, which was prominently featured on television a lot, you know how much that cost? No. $700,000. What is it? I don't know, Kathy. It looked like it was plastic to me. It looked like a swatch. It did. And I'm looking and I'm like, well, that's not a cheapie. There's no way it stood out so prominently. Yeah, okay, that's why. From a distance...

It looked like it was like yellow plastic. If you look up close, then this is clearly made of some kind of jewel, some precious stones. You know what I did like? They're yellow, though. To my point, Brady also always looks like he's suppressing a fart and his robotic. They did have a commercial where his batteries ran low, which I thought was, you know, kind of self-deprecating and funny. I'm going to go to Mike. Hey, Mike, you are on, buddy. Good morning. Good morning. Go, birds. Go, birds. All right. What's on your mind, my man?

So, my firstborn, my wife and I, our son, he was actually born that game where the Eagles blew Dallas out of the building. And that was maybe a couple hours before he actually was born. So, that was what kept me calm in the hospital. And the birds have been undefeated since he's been born. Oh, he was just born at the end of December here.

and they are undefeated. He's the one. He is the one. How is little baby Super Bowl?

I know he's a little bit spoiled. You know, everybody else had to wait, you know, however long for an Eagle Super Bowl. He gets born and he already gets to see one. So you make a good point, Mike, which is there. There are many. This is bizarre. It's sort of fun division between people who invested so much time into the team and waited all this time to get. And then there are kids now who are flippantly going to say, oh, there's two Super Bowls for the Eagles. You know, do you see that in your family, Mike?

Honestly, in my family, I'm the one who watches football, not so much everybody else. Okay. All of my friends, you know, we grew up waiting for a Super Bowl. I mean, a lot of my friends were losing their minds in 2008 when the Phillies brought home the World Series.

It's fun to watch the different generations of fans of Philly sports come up. Philly sports is a family. There was a family they were talking to last night. There was the older gentleman, the patriarch of the family. He brought with him to every game memories of things belonging to an uncle or a brother who had passed away that was all part of the

package, they go to every game, and then there were the Suns, and there's this generational thing going on. It's wild to see that, and it's also, it can't be lost on anyone how much that impacts the generations of any sports fan, but I think in particular, Philadelphia, it's very prominent. Philly's different. So with your son, just make sure that you keep things going as they are, and then Super Bowl victories from here on in.

Yeah. No, he has no choice. He's got to be with me every game now. All right. Thanks, Mike. Congratulations, bud. Thanks for checking in. I'm going to go next to Jay. I want to apologize to Casey. Hi, Jay. You're on the air. Morning, bud. Hey, good morning. It is indeed a good day to be on the bop-bop-tooth-bop-tooth. Bop-bop-a-doo-ga-ga-bop-a-da.

Nice. Well done. Good point. Very well done. I know it's not important. We won the game. But I said, I forget what the score was, but we were up and it was still, Chiefs had no points on the board. And I whispered to my neighbor, I said, is it too early to talk about the shutout?

And, you know, then they scored after that. So I think... You snotty little bastard. You know, you don't talk about it when it's in the works. You just wait. But that's my fault. I did. I did. I was monitoring, you know, social media. And I think everyone, at least that I knew or that I follow, was holding back a bit. Yeah. Even when it looked... I mean, almost down to...

Because you never know. So you didn't want to screw it up. You don't want to upset the sports guys. At one point, my son, they were up 24-0. And he goes, just hand him the trophy now. And I'm like... Don't say that.

What time on the clock do you finally go, okay, we're good? I mean, because they did the Gatorade dump in the third quarter. When we were up four scores in the fourth quarter, I was like, okay, we're good. We're good here. You know, like I could feel confident. Tonight we introduce a new rule to football. What? I will go next to Dennis. Hi, Dennis. Good morning. Good morning, guys. Sorry to bother you guys at work. We're happy to take it today, Dennis. What's up, man? Hi.

I just wanted to call in. My dad passed away in July of this year, or of last year, and he was a lifelong Eagles fan, and he would have loved to have been here to see this. He got to see the one in 17, and he would have loved to have seen this. And in honor of him, since the playoffs started, I wore something Eagles every day for the last month and a half, probably.

So that was my superstition, Casey. And they wound up winning, and I'm going to do it again next year. Nice. That's all I wanted to share. Go Birds. Yes. Very cool. Did you have anything of his represented in the room while you were watching?

No, Steve. We had him cremated and I had his ashes around my neck. There you go. Thanks, Dennis. Thank God you had him cremated because it would have been too heavy otherwise. Nick and I both had our premonitions slash predictions for the Super Bowl. At one point, my premonition was Eagles 34-34.

Chiefs 17. And at one point, the Eagles went up 34-0. And I was like, okay, there's my 34 right there. And then the Chiefs ended up scoring. And I'm like, dude, this might actually happen. Nick, at one point, your premonition was pretty close to coming true because you had 37-20. Yeah, and they got 37. Yep.

And then they got another field goal to make it 40. I don't remember what the score was at that point. But then even those garbage points that the Chiefs had at the end, I was like, couldn't they have missed the two-point conversion? They would have ended up with 20. Can I ask you something, guys? So obviously you're more dialed into this. At the end...

My contention is that you don't want to risk an injury in the last seconds of the game. So there is, at that point, a bit of pulling back, correct? And they did. I would have pulled back even sooner. My older brother, he was like, it's the Super Bowl, keep these guys in. But I'm like, yeah, no, it's also the Super Bowl. Give Will Shipley a carry or two. Kenny Pickett got to play a little bit, and the second string defense came in. They gave up that touchdown, actually, that...

Mahomes threw. So, yeah, I mean, a lot of people got to play. Oh, and I wanted to bring this up, too. It was great to see Brandon Graham out there. Oh, so cool. That guy's season was done, you know, four or five months ago. And the fact that he got to be out there, Tom Brady said some really nice things about him, which I thought was really cool and classy. So, yeah, that was awesome. And he has a bionic arm now. Yeah. Look at what that contraption was on his arm. I'm going to go to Katie checking in this morning. Hi, Katie. Morning. Good morning.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning to see you, Katie. What's going on? Well, first and foremost, I'm walking to work along Broad Sheet right now. And, ooh, joggy, it is a mess. They're working on it. They're working on it. They are. They have people out with, I guess, leaf blowers. Yeah. I'm like, that's not going to work on two bottles of beer. I think flamethrowers. Flamethrowers are in order. Yeah.

Yeah, burn it all down. Start from scratch. So I guess what I wanted to say is, so I married my husband almost six years ago. He is British and he moved to America. And the first thing he fell in love with was watching the Eagles at Triangle Tavern. Oh, my God. The Triangle Tavern. Every game he goes there.

And the two he didn't go there is here for they lost. So he is just, he was supposed to be there. Everyone knows him by name. They all know him as British John. Last week, his uncle died. So he had to fly back to

on Thursday. And I went to Triangle Tavern to pick up food because I just didn't feel right being there without him. I picked up food to go to a friend's party. Everyone was so sad. But his friends over in England own a pub. And it's actually very easy to own a pub in England. So they do, and they closed the back room for him and a couple of friends. And he got to watch the

the Eagles until 5 a.m. there. Wow. And he called me. He was crying. We were playing together. I was on Broad Street because we live on Broad Street. And I'm so sad that he didn't get to watch this team that he loves win. But, oh, my God, what a feeling to be connected across the pond. It's amazing. Yeah, it's amazing. Is he going to make it back for Parade?

I don't want to talk about it. He might. We're not sure yet. He has an open-ended ticket while they settle the estate. But we're hoping. We're really hoping. Listen, unless a castle is involved, just give it up and get back here. I know, right? He's already dead. Yeah, yeah, right. It's basically... I, um...

he is, I, not that I didn't love the Eagles beforehand, but he's the reason I love them as deeply as I do now, because I did this with him. And so it just didn't feel right not having him here. And I,

I just kept reassuring them like, hey, they're going to do it again next year. Yeah. Listen, I think you're speaking the truth because every prognosticator looked at this team, a relatively, in many ways, young team and said this is the beginning of that dynasty. So I think the odds are in your favor with that, Katie.

Yeah, we're really hoping that he's back here. And honestly, if there's one, I don't want to say if there's one person that deserves a seat. It's a British guy who's been here for five years. But in my opinion, if there's one person that deserves to watch this city win, it's my husband. And I'm really sad he didn't get to. We do it with all of us. You have a magical memory. You guys were hooked up with something. Everything can't go perfectly, but you'll take the win and wish him well on our behalf.

I really appreciate it. Y'all are the best. I've been listening to you since Y100 days and I really value getting to spend my mornings with you and podcasting with you. I don't know if you can hear that in the background. That's the leaf blowers right now. Hi, Katie. Thank you for coming on the show this morning. We appreciate it. Take care. Thank you so much, guys. Go Birds. Have a good one. Go Birds. We'll get a couple more calls and we'll have to take a break. Heather is now checking in. Heather, good morning.

Hi, Heather. You are on the air. Can you hear me? Good morning. Hey, what's up? I'm here. Excellent. What's up, Heather? I just want to tell you, my youngest son is playing basketball over in North Macedonia, which is above Greece. Wow. And he couldn't pirate the game to get it, so he had a little cell phone lying on the table watching the TV, and he watched the whole game with us and went to bed at, I don't know, 4.30 in the morning. What's your phone bill going to be like?

Awesome. Go birds. Go birds. All right. Thanks, Heather. Appreciate it. That's a great story. Gregory has a thank you to Casey. Hi, Gregory. Good morning.

Good morning. Yes, it is. So, Casey, the last time we won the Super Bowl, I decided to leave the Christmas lights out, and I unscrewed all the bulbs and switched them for green. I have, like, these very, very, very ancient Christmas lights. They're not LED. They're not efficient, but here. It's a lot of work. Casey, I've been doing that all these years since we won the last time. I've been doing the same thing when we make the playoffs. I

I unscrewed the multicolored light, switched them to green, and I knew it would work again eventually, and it did. And I channeled you...

in my thoughts. Yes. By the way, I just have to say, because I have, and Casey asked them as well, Delco trim lights. My Delco trim lights have been green. Yeah. And everyone in the neighborhood has been thrilled and giving me accolades and applause for it. And I said, all I do is I just push a button on my phone, but it looks great and people have just been loving it. So if you don't want to have to go through all that, Delco trim lights.

Thanks. Well, that would make the most sense for something that convenient. But I think I'm going to do a little bit of work for my Eagles. I'm going to go out, unscrew all of them, and it works. So I'm going to have to keep doing that. I got you. We appreciate your commitment. Thanks, Gregory. Appreciate it. I just turned my lights off. I have an app on my phone. I literally turn them on before the playoffs started, and I never turn them off.

for the last month. So I'm turning them off right now. There you go. All right, I'm going to go to, I'm going to get two more calls. I'm going to get Gloria on first. Hi, Gloria. Good morning. Hey, Gloria, you're on the air. Hi, Gloria. It says you're calling us from Wisconsin. Oh, yeah. Remember my, a long time ago, my sister Allie made a, um,

Short out about me. I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller. Awesome. Okay. Thank you. What did you want to tell us about the game last night? So during the, I think it was the beginning of the third quarter, my husband walked away. And I was watching Jalen Hurts make that nice, long Hail Mary pass. And I was leaning to the left of my couch and so much that I fell off. Okay.

Was anything broken? Did you hurt yourself? Just your pride. I think it was a grateful fall, but I was like leaning so much because, you know, I was like, hurts, make it, make it, make it. You're on the edge of your seat. I know, I was on the edge of my seat. My husband and I were thrilled and he's a huge Eagles fan as well. Are you a transplant? How did you come by your Eagles fandom? Um,

I am, well, I count my Eagles fandom as a backup Eagles fandom. I am truly a diehard Steelers fan. Right. But I have family and friends who are Eagles fans, and my husband is an Eagles fan as well. You know, he lived in Wisconsin his whole life.

He's been a fan since 2017. All right, that pass is a monster. Thank you, Gloria. Appreciate it. I just want to note that there was nothing Hail Mary about that pass. He dropped an absolute dime to Devontae Smith. Hail Mary just sort of indicates that you're just kind of throwing it up and hope somebody comes down with it. There was no doubt in his mind where that ball was going. Yeah.

Let me go to, so Joelle's been on hold for like a half hour. I want to go to her. She wants to go back to commercials for a second. Joelle, you're on the air. Good morning. Oh my God. Hi guys. Hey, what's up Joelle? Hi, just real quick. Shout out to YouTube. Um, but I was so excited to see a Muppets commercial. I didn't see the Muppets commercial. Like when he was crying, seeing the chickens. Oh my God. Right. Okay. Yeah.

Wait, what was the Muppet commercial for? It was for Booking.com. There were a couple of those last night. I didn't see it. Yeah, yeah. I only saw a still of it. I don't think I'm going to get a Muppets movie anytime soon, so I'll take them in any capacity. Yeah. It says on the screen here that you were freaked out by the Seal commercial as well.

Yeah, it reminded me of the movie Tusk, which I've seen that once and it has stuck with me forever. The Kevin Smith movie, yes. Yeah. It's disturbing. Yeah, it actually did look a little bit like that. It was disturbing for a lot of people, but it was funny. Yeah. All right, Joelle, glad you're happy this morning. Thanks for calling in. We appreciate it. Go Birds! Go Birds! All right, one last one. I know I said I was going to do two more, but this one looks pretty good. I'm going to go to John. Hi, John. You're on the air, my man.

Yes, are you talking to John Smith? Yeah, John Smith. Oh, okay, good. Good morning. That's me, John Smith. That's me, John Smith. You guys...

That's who I am, John Smith. But I wanted to tell you, you guys are really the best. You know, I was starting out my story, and the guy that picked up the phone, you know, there's a little bit of a downside, and he goes...

Is everything okay now? And I said, yeah. And, you know, you guys are like the Penn Medicine of radio. You know what I'm saying? I really appreciate that. Well, thank you, John. So you're talking about Sam. Sam is doing our phone screening. But why did he check and see if you were okay? He's right. I told him this. He goes, well, how's everything now? What did you tell him? You need to tell us, John, because we don't know what you're talking about. So here's the thing.

Oh, we're losing him now. We're losing John Smith. All right, John. Go ahead. Oh, sorry. Hold on. Hold on. We can hear you. Hold on. I'm coming back into range. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. He's on a rotary phone. Go ahead. Sorry about that. Uh,

So anyway, yesterday morning, there was a little bit of a misconfusion between my wife and I. We're under a lot of stress. And she literally, for the first time ever in 10 years, she took all my clothes and threw them over the railing.

onto the foyer in front of the front door and it was like a vehicle of clothing sitting there. Then she took him and threw him out on the porch basically saying F you, you're out of here I'm tired of putting up with your BS. Saw it the first time I've heard it but anyway um

Last night, I stayed. We watched the Eagles. Her friends were over. I was trying to explain, you know, first down, second down, third down, fourth down, et cetera. Sure. And we just bonded somehow. I don't know how it happened. Maybe had a drink or two. That's how? Yeah.

after the game, we went upstairs and we made crazy, crazy you-know-what. Love! Yeah! I want to credit every player on the Eagles team for that. I'll credit you guys. John, if you can, if you took any pictures, I think the Eagles would appreciate you sending them.

Can you believe that that happened, though? Like, can you believe it? Yes. My question would be, I would hate to think that... It didn't happen. Oh.

I actually had to sleep in the garage last night, but we did rock together. John Smith. I got you. Thank you for your call. John Smith, be better. Be better. Don't get your clothes thrown at it. You got to be a better. I mean, I don't know what the situation is, but don't get it worked up that way. Maybe you will be making sweet monkey love. That was John Smith.

Yes. That was his name. Wow. I just want everybody to be clear on that. I thought there was a happy ending there. Apparently not. All right. Well, happy for everybody else as we are once again world champions here in the city of Philadelphia. It's a beautiful thing. And so much so we would like to spread the love.

WMMR, and you just never know who's going to call in. We have a friend who we haven't had a chance to talk to in a while. He's on our Xfinity mobile guest line. Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Caliendo. Hey, Frank.

Let me tell you guys, I honestly, and I'm not lying about this, although I would. You guys are the first people I thought about as the Eagles started to destroy the Chiefs. Really? Really?

I mean, it's funny how you have friends because we are work friends, but we're also friends. And this to me is amazing because I texted Nick this morning. I don't know why I didn't text last night. Maybe it was late and figured you guys were all drunk, but it was...

I almost went Stephen A. Smith. What a tremendous situation going on right now. I understand what's happening there in Philadelphia. So many harkifications. I just make up words with Stephen A. Smith. Harkifications. Trying to understand what that could be. But this, to bring an NFL championship, the Lombardi Trophy to the Philadelphia Eagles and the city of Philadelphia, there's nothing better than that. Where were you, Frank? What were you doing?

I was just at my house downloading the app so I could listen to you guys this morning. Honestly, there's very little that pertains to football that doesn't have me at some point thinking of Frank Caliendo because you are interwoven with it so much. Our perception is that you're the kind of guy who would beeline to the location city for the Super Bowl if you could, but that's really not your thing?

No, I mean, I've been there a bunch and it's just so it's busy. I'd like to just watch with my family, to be honest with you, just at my, I'm a, I am kind of just Shrek. I like to just be in my house and,

And not leave a donkey, you know. Frank, I'm the same exact way, man. Like, you know, I could have gone to a million places last night. But, you know, I went to my brother's and I was actually relieved because I thought, like, his in-laws and everybody were going to be there. And it just turned out it was just, you know, my brother, my sister, and our kids. And it was perfect. Like, you know, you could listen to the game. Yeah.

I've been to quite a few Super Bowls. I've been there with Fox and stuff like that. I've been behind the scenes before. It's a lot of chaos. I would go to Radio Row down there, the media center, and do a bunch of stuff and plug every date I had coming up. I'm 51 now, guys. You're a kid!

I do call-ins now the next morning. That's what I do. You know, I was thinking about you actually last night, and whenever Morgan Freeman pops up, there's not many seconds after him, I think, Frank Caliendo. And it's weird because he was in a couple of spots, and they had, I guess his head is shaved now, and they had him from behind, and I'm like...

Morgan Freeman, you got to see him dead on. And I don't know what's... Have you seen him recently, Frank? He looks un-Morgan Freeman-ish. Well, truth of the matter is I'm 5,000 years old. 5,077. I've been around since before the Earth started rotating. But that's why you need to go to homes.com.

I would love to have seen him do that, homes.com. And then the next commercial, Jeff Goble, ah, apartments.com. Yes, of course. Why, why, why? Because homes.com was right before us. But how about me? Whose turn is it? I don't know. Look at this. I'm going to need a rental outside of Philadelphia for a party. And that's when they realized this game was over.

They might have spent $8 million while quite a few less people were watching. You know what's great, Frank, is that you don't have to go to Radio Row anymore to promote gays because we can do it for you. May 18th, 2025, Frank Caliendo at Helium Comedy Club on a Sunday, a Sunday show. Nice. A special event, which is pretty cool. So it'll be nice to have you back in town.

You know what's crazy is I didn't even... Honestly, I texted Nick this morning, and this sounds like a setup for me to plug myself, which I'm not above. I would do. Yes. But I didn't even know if those tickets were on sale or anything. I really did just want to call in for you guys. I'm excited for you guys. I only know like seven other people in all of Philadelphia, but...

You guys, sometimes you guys got to be late and it sounds like your listeners are this morning. It is something and it comes down to what really happens and you've been a sports fan long enough to know this. And again, I have my passing things. I probably think of all the major sports. I probably am more hockey, I would say. But anything that affects sports,

The general vibe of the city that reminds them of family members and moments and people carrying sort of mementos of people who have passed and so on and so forth. It's so firmly entrenched in the lore and legend of the city and the Eagles specifically that to see this and to see this joy is is just amazing.

Yeah, and I don't know why I have – sometimes you get these mental pictures for a weird reason. Does Paul Giamatti have anything to do with Philadelphia? Because that sounds like –

Paul Giamatti, you know. Well, yes, because of John Adams. John Adams, one of the founding fathers. That's it. Yeah. I was trying to figure that out, and I just had Paul Giamatti in my head going, how do you believe this is one of the greatest things for the city of Philadelphia since, well, I did a movie about it? Uh.

Yes. Did you see, by the way, we were talking earlier, there seemed to be a greater influx of really notable celebrities...

the game last night. Paul McCartney was there. Paul McCartney, yeah. And who else was, well, Adam Sandler, in fact, Preston pointed out that they made notation of Adam Sandler and Paul Rudd and totally glossed over Paul McCartney sitting run-run back. Hey, did you notice the guy from Wings is next to me? I think he's done a couple things. By the way, Happy Gilmore 2 coming out pretty soon. We're going to get that. I'm getting paid two gazillion dollars.

How much time would John, you know, these all sound like setups, but it's true. How much time would John Madden have spent on that? I mean, you got, you got Paul McCartney right there. And over there, you got Paul Rudd, but then boom. I mean, you got Adam Sandler. I mean, look at it. I mean, you ever seen Little Nicky Fat? I mean, that was a good one. Yeah.

Oh, my God. It's funny, though. You're right. Yeah. Because there were, for example, last night, and I picked a few of them out. There were a couple of commercials where they had social media influencers who I've become aware of now as I try to take a dive into this realm and find out who's prominent and who's not. But, yeah, like Madden would make reference to the celebrities he's familiar with. But there's a lot of people now that are there's so many, quote unquote, celebrities and influencers. It's hard to keep track of them.

Yeah, I mean, right over there. I think I don't know who who were the somebody because I was like, hey, there's Mr. Beast. You ever see Mr. Beast? I mean, I don't know what he does, but he's doing a lot of it. Frank, obviously, you hit these on the head and you paid quite close attention to what the sportscasters do and how they do it. What do you think of what do you think of Tom Brady and how he's doing and how he performed last night?

Well, I said this is a serious, you know, it's a hard job. You can tell a critique is coming up because I'm giving positive notes first. It's a hard job. I've tried to do it before and you really have to know, you know, what you know. I would love for Tom Brady to give a little bit of insight about what he thinks might happen. Yes. As opposed to always telling us what just happened. We saw what happened.

You know, they have crazy insight or a story into that. Let us, you don't have to go Tony Ramon. Jim, look what's going to happen here. He's going to work. They're going to run a little spider three wide banana. John Gooden is going to be here. We got Jim Tony.

You don't have to predict the play, but just say, this looks like this might happen. And even if it doesn't, you can see that they're faking it. Oh, they faked it. They got me. That's what Tom... I'd like to see some of that or hear some of that. I mean, he's a rookie at this. Who knows if he'll even stay on because he's going to be involved with the Raiders. So...

I don't know. It's a good point. You know, I know it's a left field shot, but I think Mark Ruffalo would probably be a good play-by-play guy. I think that would be really, really great. Look what's going to happen here. Jalen Hurts is going to hulk out. All right. All right.

By the way, for those who don't follow Frank Caliendo on social media, it is every single one of these posts is fantastic. And I love your tutorials that you do and how you create these voices. It's so cool that most people don't open up their box of tricks and show you how these things work. And it's really cool that you do that. Frank, you've been doing that for a while and I still love it.

Yeah, well, thank you. It's funny. I've talked to Dana Carvey about this, too. You know, so many people, like, take your impression that you do. And, you know, once you unlock it for somebody, people see it. So I just started giving them the blueprints kind of a thing. Well, I give myself some points because I actually will break down how you're doing it without consulting you and rob you that way. Yeah.

Well, Carvey, back in the 80s and 90s, Dana Carvey was doing impressions where he'd go, not Canada, with George H.W. Bush. And everybody's doing a Bush impression going, not Canada. Well, that was Dana Carvey doing. He made that up. George H.W. Bush never even really did it.

So those are the types of things where you can tell somebody's taken something from it. It stinks, but that's just what it is. It's funny. People have told me that I was taking an impression from them. I'm like, what impression? They're like, John Mann. I'm like, no, I'm that guy. I'm the guy who started that one. Well, you know what you could do? You could put sort of verbal...

watermarks on your impressions and know who's ripping you off if you attribute a phrase or something like to Matt. You know what I'm saying? Oh, I've done that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's definitely... I had somebody go up before me one time in Orlando. This was 20 years ago or something like that. And he was doing... He thought I was Daryl Hammond. He got us confused. So he went up and he was doing Frank Caliendo's act in front of Daryl Hammond. He's going, there's a guy with John Madden. I'm like,

Dude, that's mean. First of all, you didn't know who I was, which is fine. I don't really care. But then to do my act before I went up in a guest set? Yeah. In the words of Charles Barkley, that's just terrible. Really, really bad. And I feel really great for the city of Philadelphia. I live there three days a year. And...

I really feel great about it. And I'm on my way back to Atlanta. But Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, best last name in football, does a really great job. And I do want to say this on a semi-serious note. Saquon Barkley, I believe, and people are probably saying this, is the key because Saquon

As good as the rest of the team is, the defense, you know, just everybody's doing a tremendous, tremendous job. Incredible job. You're doing the best job. A lot of people are saying that the Eagles are going to win and it's the American Eagle. They're American Eagles and they're going to win.

For the next 10 years. Forget the three feet. This is going to be an eagle's feet. It's going to be that big. So, uh, Saquon Barkley, the whole defense of the Chiefs was planned around stopping Saquon Barkley. Yeah. Jalen Hurts had to step up because they were keyed in on Barkley. He still got a hundred yards somewhere around there. And, uh,

Jalen Hurts had to come through. The passes, the throws and the catches, they're unbelievable. Just fantastic. You know who else loves Saquon? Al Pacino. I heard he's a big fan. Oh, yeah. That's a great one, Nick. Thank you. Looking for segues in the voices. We got them right there.

Oh, you know who else is? Seth Rogen. Oh, that was pretty good. Hey, flying is flying means something completely different to me. Oh, wow.

Oh, my God. All right. Well, listen, Frank, this has been a great surprise. We appreciate you checking in. Marissa is actually on Bourbon Street right now, so we're going to go to her via Zoom and see how things are going this morning. But we're just honored that you thought of us this morning and gave us a call. We appreciate it, brother. Yeah. Hey, and when I do that helium, that's a Sunday show. So maybe I'll call in six times before that. Yeah, perfect. You're more than welcome to.

I would love to come in the morning after the show. Yeah. Possibly. And just hang out even though I'm not selling tickets. Love it. Yeah. We would love that. You're one of our favorites, of course.

And you are my favorite. There we go. I said one. I know you said one, but I wanted to one-up you. I love you more than... It's the same thing I do with my wife. I love you more than you will ever love me. All right, Frank. We love you. Thanks, brother. Take care. We'll see you soon. Frank Kelly, everyone. All right. And now we are going to go live to... What should we play here, Casey? I think we've got to play this one. We're going to Bourbon Street. She's actually...

Walking down Bourbon Street as we speak, we're seeing video. Zoom, Marissa got a flight out on Friday and she's there. Can you hear me, Marissa?

I can hear you guys. Can you hear me? Yeah. So I assume that's Bourbon Street where you are right now. It is. I actually walked down to where the Fox broadcasters were broadcasting last night. It's literally leaving as I speak, but I'm going to turn around. And the big Fox robot is right here. Oh, yeah. In the middle of the street. It's huge. It looks like 15 feet tall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys.

His area last night was chaos. I'm sure. In the best kind of way. Because not only was it... If you've come down to New Orleans, it just kind of turns into Mardi Gras every night. Because that's what you come down here for, right? But imagine that. The last hundreds of thousands of Eagles fans. Yeah, we were commenting, Marissa, that the volume of Eagles fandom inside the stadium, the green jerseys, the reaction to all things...

Philadelphia was palpable, even over TV. And it was amazing. So I assume once that cleared out and descended onto Bourbon Street. So give your best guess. Can you how many people jam Bourbon Street last night? Well, so like I said, I mean, Bourbon Street is about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the Superdome.

So everybody who was on Bourbon Street immediately were watching the game on Bourbon Street. And I feel like there was a lot more people...

A lot more Chiefs fans watching the game on Bourbon Street and in this vicinity. Where were you? Where were you, by the way, for the game? So I went to a bar called Hying Grace. It's right off of Bourbon Street, a couple blocks away. And I was with the crowd. That was about 50-50. Couldn't really find a bar specifically that was all Eagles fans. That was close by. We wanted to be close to our friends who were at the game. We wanted to meet up afterwards.

So, like I said, afterwards, it just kind of like unleashed into the street. Fox had this huge purple carpet through Bourbon Street, which is exactly what you don't want, carpet on Bourbon Street. And they had these platforms. Everything got taken over. It kind of felt like our own little mini Broad Street park. Were you even able to find your friends there?

Yes. So we walked to the Superdome and everybody coming out of the Superdome was just exiting a game, you know. So we just thought through the crowd, found a corner and found them. Wow. Almost miraculous. So your takeaway of being there, you got down and you got we saw the pictures of you with Helen at the four walls event with Rob and Caitlin. How did that happen? And what were your memories of that experience?

Yeah. So, I mean, I'll start. I think my favorite moment of the whole weekend was just being in the French Quarter on Saturday morning and just...

seeing all the fans descending upon the French Quarter, right? That's where everybody went. If you've been to New Orleans before, you know, this might not be the place that you want to be necessarily unless you're looking for the party. But everybody just wanted to see other fans. And I want to point out, everyone was so nice. There was no chirping to each other. There was nobody being rude.

Um, everyone was just hanging out and you get lots of go birds back and forth. Lots of people just filming video and it was just a great energy. It was really fun. You're just seeing all of these, you know, like hundreds of thousands of fans everywhere you went. I had this really weird, sorry, I'm trying to find someplace that doesn't have a street sweeper. You guys can hear that in the background. No, we can't hear it. It's okay. Okay, good. Um,

I have this weird thing where anytime I see somebody in an Eagles jersey, I think that I know them. So I had to turn off that part of my brain because everybody down here was wearing some sort of NFL gear.

Um, so Saturday night I was connecting with some friends and our friends are really gorgeous. So having a party, a preservation hall, they had snack time. They had Todd Herman's Jason or Vaught Sean Duran boss came by. Um, and Helen came by with bird bots and then right around 10, 10 15. Um, our friends brought back with honey and Caitlin Olsen walked in just casually, just like they're hanging out at the party. Um,

And at some point, I casually said hi to Rob and I was like, I think I have something over here we have to take a photo with. And he turned and went, Bird Box? He's like, I got to grab Caitlyn. We all got to take a photo together. And that was it. That was the...

moment. That is awesome. That is awesome that he remembered because he took a picture with BirdBot1 at the parade. So yeah. I want to ask Marissa because you definitely have FOMO more than anybody else. But you put yourself in the mix of a lot of fun and excitement, but you took yourself out of a different mix of fun and excitement. So what

I was up past midnight watching all the celebrations in Philadelphia and New Orleans. But did you miss being in Philly last night? You know what? I missed Broad Street. We were watching. We weren't getting the content fast enough, my friends and I. We were looking for it. And then I saw those knuckleheads carrying the light post. I was like, come on, guys. What are you doing? Why are you ruining this for everybody? Remember what happened to Dollar Dog Night? You can take away Broad Street too, guys. Don't do it.

Yeah, no, actually, all things considered, and I was hoping not to wake to bad news, and it really wasn't that bad. There were a couple things. I don't know if you heard earlier, we lost a box of linens that were set on fire. They stole a linen truck from the Lowe's Hotel and lit the sheets on fire. So that was it. That was probably the worst. But still,

I'm going to give the... Could have been worse. I'm going to say a B minus, C plus, right? Not bad. It could have been a lot worse. Yeah. A lot worse. Yeah. I agree. So, Marissa, how late were you hanging out there on Bourbon Street for the party? Did you make it till the wee hours? So, we left Bourbon Street, went to the Superdome, saw that, and then we came back. Yep. So...

hour behind so maybe it was like 1 a.m 2 a.m something like that right um wasn't too crazy but like i said it was also a different mix it wasn't just eagles fans out here um it was just everybody partying but i will say how are you sir right everyone's like go birds go birds yeah it's full what do you say are you from do you mind going on the radio with me real quick and saying that

Yeah. So he said you live here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I came to hire for the season. Okay. But I also lived in North Philadelphia. Oh, here we go. All right. What's your name? Oh, he's going to put the earbud in. Hey, man, what's your name? Kathy's favorite name. Say that one more time. We can't hear him, Marissa. Sorry, can't hear him at all. All right. He said his name is Cam Cooper. Cam Cooper. All right. Nice. Good, man. So how long you been in New Orleans?

So, Marissa, I think he's got the wrong earbud. I think the one you have is the one that, yeah. And then put them back in your ear. Yeah, then put them in here. Yes. He's got the microphone in his hand. Okay. All right. So you're holding the one in your hand there that has the microphone on it. You need to put it in your ear. The other one.

Okay. We got it. The other one. He's going to hate us. All right. It's all right. We can't hear him, Marissa. Sorry about that. It sounds like we can't hear you at all. All right. We appreciate it. We see the lips moving and everything. But he said he had spent some time in North Philly. Yeah. Marissa, can you hear me? No.

Can you guys hear me now? Yeah. Yeah. I think. Sorry, Cam. I don't know why they weren't working. I think only one of those has a speaker in it. And I don't know why it wasn't working. But tell them thank you. Thanks, Cam. So what were you saying? They were saying thank you. Can you guys hear him and he talks now? Yeah. Okay.

Go ahead. I mean, I knew that the Eagles were going to win just by seeing how much the rain was down. I would say I would give it like a 20% to 80% type of thing. The fans know that. Wow. So 80% in favor of the Eagles. Wow. That's pretty wild. It sounded like that at the game for sure. Thanks, Cam. Appreciate it, man. Thanks, Cam.

Yeah, so that's why I wanted him to hop on because he was saying he's somebody who lives down here and says that the fans showed up. We were talking to some waitresses and they were saying, I mean, fans started showing up last weekend. Yeah, no doubt. So what's the weather? It looks like it's been raining there, overcast?

Yeah. Oh, my God. So the moment we took a second line from the Philly Sports Trip's tailgate to the stadium, we dropped off our friends at the gate and then it started pouring rain. Pouring rain. Wow. So it rained for most of the game. So that's why we kind of sprinted over here to...

a bar. So it was like pretty rainy and icky last night. But yesterday it was like 70 degrees and beautiful. Wow. Very nice. You had no indication. We were watching the game. I had no idea it was a storm situation outside. We were just thrilled with the outcome. Hey, what are your travel plans? You flying out today? Yeah, I fly out this afternoon. Um,

and head back and be back in Philly tonight. And then they're saying parade on Friday, right? Most likely. That seems to be the consensus. It's not 100%. Something was posted and taken offline, but it has not been made official, but we're assuming that'll be it because of the weather, which will work out great, I think, having it on a Friday.

Hey, can you bring me home a beignet, please? Yes, I will do that. I'm very disappointed, guys. I sprinted over to Bourbon Street hoping to find like a grenade to have during this whole thing. Nothing's open. What? Nothing's open. I thought this was Bourbon Street in 24 hours. Yeah, me too. I thought you could get in any place. Wow. All right. And get some, they pronounce them pralines there. Pralines. Oh.

are fantastic from New Orleans as well. So, all right, Marissa, thank you for the heads up and congratulations on making it there for the big party. And we'll see you for the next party here when you get home.

Real quick, what was Casey's premonition? Oh, 34-17. So I did not have the score right at all. But I did call a 17-point victory. Eagles won by 18. And Nick actually had a premonition as well of the Eagles winning by 17. So we were close in the spread, but not in the score. Yeah, and I owe Kathy a bottle of the finest champagne because Taylor Swift was only on TV twice.

And I heard she got food. She did. She got food on the initial introduction or the initial video. Well, everybody who said birds by a million, we did it, guys. Yeah. All right. We will see you when you get back. She'll be in tomorrow morning with us. I got to go. The people have been. Yes. For the last 20 minutes or so. So let me get some calls and then we'll move along. We'll get to the bizarre file in a second. I'm going to go to Morgan, who's been on hold for a while. Morgan, you're on the air. Good morning.

Good morning. Hi, what's up? Hi. I was just calling in to tell you guys that we reopened at my rally house and we sold out of stuff within the hour. Wow. Gosh, what time did you open? We reopened when the clock struck zero and we put all the stuff out. So what time? Are we talking midnight or what are we talking? Military? Military.

Five minutes right after the clock strikes zero in the game. Oh, I see. Wow. I thought they go back to the beginning of time. No matter who wins. That's right. Wow. That's pretty wild. A lot of drunk people. Yeah. Which raises the question. We talk about it every time we have one of these situations.

What happens to all the Kansas City swag that has them as winners? Are they heading to Africa sometimes? Countries in Africa now? Yeah, yeah. I don't know, but I know they go back. They go back somewhere. Yeah. Thank you, by the way, Morgan. We appreciate it. Yeah, Steve, a lot of times they will end up in more impoverished countries.

countries and communities. They're definitely out of the United States. They don't want them here. Could you imagine what a skewed view of Super Bowl history they have here, right? But I have a shirt. It says it right there. I'm going to go to Lisa has a comment. Lisa, good morning. Hey, bitches. Hey, what? Lisa.

Hey, so I lost my mom last April. She's a big Philly fan, big Eagles fan. And I can't remember what the commercial was, but they were playing John Denver on this commercial and she was a big John Denver fan. And I was like, are you kidding me right

And then we got back into the stands, and they were singing the original, the actual John Denver Country Road song. And then Cooper DeGene made that pick six, and I was like, that's mom. And I just completely lost it. I could see where that would be. That was a really wonderful moment to hear. The stadium, everyone was kind of singing in unison. I think it was for a realtor, the commercial? I think it might have been. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I don't even remember. I just heard John Denver, and I was like, that is a huge sign, and we're going to win this thing. Wow. Lisa, I'm glad you brought that up. My aunt passed away last year. Her name was Nancy. She was a West Virginian through and through. It was her favorite song of all time, and she loved Saquon Barkley because she was a big Penn State fan, too. Okay. She would have been thrilled to see him in Eagles Green, and so I was thinking about her, and you were thinking about your family. That's really sweet and really touching.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry to hear about that, Nick. But, yeah, it was just an incredible night. We were at my friend's house, and we set up, like, a whole shrine. I had, like, my mom's Darren Sproles jersey that I had gotten her. There was, like, an Eagles hat that I think she had saved for me. We had, like, one of my husband's, his husband, or my husband, sorry, my husband's, his family dog died, and we had, like, his paw print. We had, like, we had stage going. We had it.

We had incense going. We had the whole thing. That's been a theme throughout the whole morning is that you honor the memories of people that you enjoyed these moments vis-a-vis the Eagles and any sports like this throughout time. And it means a lot to everyone. So, yeah, it's wonderful that you have that memory.

Yeah, definitely. Thanks, guys. And it's so great to talk to you guys. My mom worked with me at one point. We used to listen to Preston and Steve on the drive up to work all the time, and she loved you guys so much. Lisa, thank you so much. We appreciate it.

Thank you, guys. Go Birds! All right, let's get Dallas on the line. Hey, Dallas, morning. Yep, Dallas from Oklahoma. What's up? Did you fight Kid Phoenix? Dallas. I got a buddy that lives in Maryland, and he's listened to y'all for like 20 years and told me about your station. Okay. And he told me to tell you, thanks for calling, by the way.

You got it. Last night, he's a diehard Giants fan, and I'm a diehard Dallas fan, obviously. But last night, we were a united front because I like Jalen Hurts, and he likes Saquon Barkley, of course. And nobody likes Kelsey Swift. So we were a complete united front last night. We were rooting all the way.

But sad to say, today is a new day, and we are Sean Michaels, and the Eagles are Marty Jannetty. Okay. All right. No, but that's the way it's meant to be. But you know how to play it. We appreciate the sport for a moment. It's funny because my dad passed away recently, and he was a Cowboys fan. But whenever it was the Eagles, he immediately switched because of –

your connection. Hey Dallas, thanks for checking in, man. We appreciate it, brother. Also, I want to say, my favorite commercial was the little kid boxing one with the cancer. That was good. That was a really good one. Alright, take care, brother. We'll see ya. Alright, two more quick calls and we gotta take a break. I'm gonna go to Timmy, who is up next. Hi, Timmy. Good morning. Ready?

Okay! Thank you. I missed that. I got like half of it in. Alright, Timmy, what did you want to tell us? I thought the girl who called in with the cheer was going to say that. So I just wanted to share that February 9th of 2023, I was pretty much a resident of like Kensington and I'm getting off of Ben Salem bus and I get picked up for jaywalking. Um...

And I truly feel it's because the Eagles were going to the Super Bowl. They were trying to clean the riffraff off the streets. And it started my journey to recovery. So because of that, you're on the road to sobriety. Yes, this is true. I'm actually kidding you. I work at BJ's in Oxford Valley. Okay.

And I ride a Phantom A10 scooter that I won at the Christmas Miracle. Oh, nice. I work every morning. Wow. Yeah. And listen, because of it, like I say, as long as I stay sober and I stay out of jail on February 9th, I think the Eagles are going to win. All right. There we go. There is motivation for you, Timmy. Listen, can I really quick just shout out a bunch of guys like Chad, who,

Who goes to the, went to the, who's Luau? I met him in sobriety. And a whole bunch of other good guys that are huge fans of the guy. Well, that's great. It's a tough road to be on. My brother, you know, everyone knows somebody who's dealing with some sort of, hopefully, recovery at some level. And sadly, people are in addiction. But the truth of the matter is, it's a lot of work. We give you all the credit in the world. And here's to a...

long run on the on this side of the of that that situation so good luck to you man awesome thank you guys so much take care Timmy we'll see you all right one more quick call then we got to take a quick break we'll go to Nicole hi Nicole morning to you good morning hey what's up Nicole just calling today to talk about my my luck charm okay my daughter in

In 2018, she was born January 28th. 2018, she was born a week later. We won the Super Bowl. And this year, she turned the lucky number seven. And we win again. There you go. Wow, nice. All right. So just keep that going. Try to... You know how they'll lock the veals up like in a box so they, you know, make sure that you... Yeah.

Keep her a prisoner and then that'll ensure victory. Or just make eight your new lucky number and then next year, the year after, nine and so on. You can change these things. I guess that makes sense too rather than treat her like a veal. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I don't think she would appreciate that. All right. She might not appreciate that either. All right. Well, awesome. All right, Nicole, thank you so much. We appreciate it. Congratulations. Congratulations to everybody. Champions, of course. So this is a wonderful, wonderful day. We're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a second. We've got some bizarre file stories to share. We'll get to those when we return.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place to listen to MMR online nationwide where you could sign up for an MMR insider newsletter so you never miss the important stuff on All Things Rock. Maybe see Preston and Steve Daily Rush videos. Look for upcoming shows on a comprehensive concert calendar. See when and where we'll be out and about. Pick up some MMR gear and, like, a whole lot more. Well, it turns out there's a website that does all that. WMMR.com.

And it's always available, like right now, on your computer or phone or whatever. And we even made a catchy little jingle so you remember it. R.com.

All right, with that little pesky Super Bowl thing under our wing now, we can focus on another event that's coming up. Obviously, we're waiting to find out about a parade, but how about you come to another parade of sorts, the Preston and Steve Cardboard Classic. Yes. We haven't been able to bang this as hard as we have wanted to because...

We're waiting to see what happens with the Eagles. Well, we had to wait because the NFL asked us to wait because they want to be part of the cardboard class. Oh, so now it's out. But listen, the event is coming up Friday, February 28th. It's going to be here before you know it. And I wonder now how many, as Casey was saying off air, I wonder how many Lombardi trophy sleds we might see. Or Eagle-themed sleds.

One thing you may want to consider is creating one that has to do with Tito's Handmade Vodka because they are offering up $1,000 for the best Tito's Handmade Vodka sled. So keep that in mind. You can go to WMMR.com slash Cardboard Classic for the sled registration. Tickets, photos from last year, all that stuff. Get ready to head to Montage Mountain, our new home for Cardboard Classic now the past couple of years and future.

We're going to do it again. Yeah, we had some of our legendary participants from years past. Apparently, we're on a conference call with revisions and things. We always look to improve the product. And we're very excited for this year. Yep, absolutely. All right, let's get to the V5. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Final.

All right, we'll just get right into it. This story is out of Columbia, Missouri. Two men were arrested, actually in Osage Beach, Missouri, last week. I know that area well, by the way. For drug possession after they stopped their vehicle and asked law enforcement officers with a drug-sniffing canine for directions. So, Aaron Reagan... They got drugs. Aaron Reagan was charged with drug possession. Alan M. Richards, also charged with drug possession.

The drug task force were preparing to start canine training when a vehicle driven by Reagan pulled up. I'm thinking of Cheech and Chong's. Yeah. The canine dog. The men in the vehicle asked for directions on how to get to Osage Beach.

Officers said, you're already in Osage Beach. And they noticed a man appeared to be impaired. And another officer brought out their canine partner to sniff around the vehicle. And they found two grams of methamphetamine in a jar in the vehicle. The dog did the saber dance. That's how they knew there were a lot of drugs in the vehicle.

A Montessori school in Cyprus is under scrutiny after a racial slur was included in a newsletter sent to over 150 families. And I'll read what it says. The school leader has issued an apology.

But some parents feel that more needs to be done to address this issue. The newsletter from Lycee Montessori School initially appeared normal when it was delivered to inboxes on Sunday. However, upon reading an apology email from the school, parents took a closer look and discovered the offensive language. So the newsletter began with a Valentine's Day greeting and took a turn on page three. So this is a long letter. Yeah, it sounds good. It took a turn on page three with the inclusion of the slur. And I'll read verbatim and I'll leave the slur out. But it says...

Sometimes just spending that quality academic time with your child one-on-one in the comfort of your home can be equal to, if not greater, than the academic authorization of a real N-word bitch. What? What? Yeah. Ending with an A or E-R?

I would imagine an R. I mean, yeah. It doesn't have it written out here. It's dotted out. So a real N-word bitch. What the hell? The director assured that the offensive language is not condoned and expressed uncertainty. I could assure you. How it was included in the publication sent to the families. Password security measures have been tightened around the accounts used to create and send the newsletter. I mean, I got to believe somebody hacked in there and did that because you don't even jokingly write that.

when you're writing. Very inclusive to all bitches. Yeah, so it went out and they're obviously investigating this. The school's director mentioned that the newsletter has been distributed monthly for eight years without any previous issues and they added that if the person responsible for this incident is identified, they will be immediately terminated. Yeah.

A Minnesota man won a free week-long cruise vacation to the Caribbean for him and his girlfriend only to catch the flu on board. And then he got slapped with an eye-popping $47,000 medical bill. $47,000 because he was on board a ship? Yeah. Mike Cameron and his girlfriend, Tamara Masterman, won a free Norwegian cruise trip from the Grand Casino Hinkley. Just don't get sick.

set sail out of Miami. But what started his dream trip to the tropical destination went awry when Cameron came down with the flu. The yelling passenger sought treatment at the medical center on board and recovered three days later. The couple's tour came to an end. Cameron was shocked to learn that he was stuck with nearly a $50,000 medical bill. He said, I was flabbergasted by the whole thing.

I guess I'm just used to the medical system in the United States. I can't believe it happened. The bill came as a shock as crew members assured him not to worry as he received treatment. One lady in the medical ward said that he had the traveler's insurance and that meant $20,000 worth of coverage. The cruise line maxed out two credit cards that Cameron had on file and he still owes $21,000.

The couple had purchased travel insurance from the cruise line that covered an expense up to $20,000 and have health insurance. But Cameron is stuck in a holding pattern with each claiming the other is responsible for the bill. He said the traveler's insurance doesn't want to pay it until we run it by our health insurance. And the health insurance doesn't want to pay it because it's abroad.

Cameron is not sure how he is going to afford this bill. There's absolutely no way that treatment for the flu runs up a $47,000 tag. And when you go on a cruise, that's the main reason to buy the insurance is because if you are not in the United States, then you're supposed to use that insurance if something happens. I wonder if they know that and that's why they charge such a high price because they're going to play the system. The game. It's outrageous.

outrageous all right last story and then we will wrap it up let's end with uh oh man i can't hang on a second yeah okay we'll end with this one uh in virginia a man was charged with breaking and entering assault and public intoxication after mistaking wednesday night bible study for a human trapping operation i'm in the wrong room aren't uh the man

has been identified as 48-year-old David Campbell of Stafford, Virginia. He took it upon himself to forcefully investigate a Wednesday night Bible study. Yes, I'm looking to move two Croatian hookers. Deputies responded for a disturbance that was quickly escalating. The caller stated that he was upset that his neighbors were double parked. Authorities say the caller confronted his neighbors in their residence and observed multiple people. Campbell just assumed the gathering was a human trafficking operation.

and wanted deputies to investigate it. Gosh, you guys are very religious for human traffickers. While reporting the incident...

dispatchers could hear him taunting and cursing at the neighbors. Son of a bitch. Deputies arrived at the residence where they made contact with him. He was in the middle of the roadway. Campbell complained about the parking situation and demanded deputies to identify everyone within the residence. According to neighbors, Campbell forced his way into the residence to confront them and nearly struck an ordained minister and threatened to punch another man.

The incident was captured on surveillance video but has not been released. He is being held in the county jail without bond right now. What the hell is all this Jesus talk? And that is what I have in the bizarre file for you this morning. All right, we will take a break.

MMR Rocks with Bon Jovi. It's my life. It is 1027. Monday morning in the Preston's Tea Show. Beautiful day today. We are going to move things around a little bit in this particular segment. I had mentioned a concert announcement with Music News, but I'm not, I ain't doing it. I ain't doing it. I'm going to do it now.

Music News still a couple of moments away, but I'm going to make the concert announcement now. This one I may have to try to get out and see. I don't go to see too many bands these days, but I would really like to check these guys out. The show's going to be on a Wednesday, August 13th, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, and MMR is happy to announce...

The Doobie Brothers! The Doobie Brothers are going to be performing their Walk This Road Tour, and their special guest will be the Coral Reefer Band. Cool! So that's pretty cool. And the tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. And we have details at WMMR.com if you'd like to get those.

And part of the reason I wanted to go ahead and make this announcement right now, besides the fact that that'll be a great show,

is that it's the Lesson Question Prize. We will give away a pair of tickets to see the Doobie Brothers, if you can answer this question correctly. And we're going to go way back to the beginning of the show this morning. Oh, my God. So if you've been with us since 6 o'clock hour, and that's got to be pretty tough for people who stayed up last night, we'll see if we get a winner. If not, we'll move on to another question. But what kind of specific dance...

Dance fans. There you go. What kind of specific dance fans did Pierre hang out with last night on Broad Street? Oh, yeah. What type of dancers? 215-263-WMMR. That was at 620 this morning that Pierre actually called in while he was returning home. Yes. From the celebrations on Broad Street last night. We'll get him in here a little bit to recap some of that. But what kind of specific dance fans...

Did Pierre hang out with last night on Broad Street? 215-263-WMMR. Call us if you know the answer. The trash business is a gold mine. 93.3 WMMR.

with Preston and Steve's Hollywood Trash. All right, let's find out what we got in the trash. Steve, what's going on this morning? Well, Britney Spears saying that she and boyfriend Paul Solis are going strong after a brief bumpy patch. Spears says Solis is a combination of the best of her exes with the rugged good looks of Sam Ashnari and the incredible intellect of Kevin Federline. Hey!

Former MTV and now porn star Farrah Abraham calling out singer Gracie Abraham for railing against the adult film industry. Abraham says that were it not for the adult industry, she would never have been able to fit a bowling ball in her butthole. Oh, my God.

And finally, plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Costa saying Bianca Sensori, the wife of Kanye West, has the body that most of his patients are setting as a goal. Dr. Costa says that while they want Sensori's body, they would prefer to not have to marry a Nazi. All right. Let's see if you know the answer to the question. What kind of specific dance fans did Pierre hang out with last night on Broad Street? And our first caller in was Rich. So we'll go to him. Hey, Rich. Good morning, bud.

Good morning. Go Birds. Go Birds. All right, Rich, what specific kind of dance fans did Pierre hang out with last night on Broad Street? That would be ballet. Ballet. You got it, Rich. Hang on. We are going to give you tickets to go and see the concert we just announced, the Doobie Brothers and the Coral Reefer Band on August 13th at Freedom Works Pavilion. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. Now, Preston and Steve's Music News.

On 93.3 WMMR. I just have two things for music news to share with you. We'll begin with the fact that Primus has found a new drummer.

About four months after the abrupt departure of longtime percussionist Tim Herb Alexander, or Herb, I think is what it is, the veteran band revealed that their new timekeeper was following, they were looking for global open auditions for him. Les Claypool wrote on Instagram on Friday, Huffington.

And he wrote, welcome aboard, John Hoffman drums. Primus singer and bassist Les Claypool, like I said, posted that alongside a photo featuring Claypool with new drummer Hoffman and guitarist Larry Lalonde.

Following Alexander's departure, Primus had announced that they would be holding auditions for a new drummer, taking submissions from all points in the universe for the position of Primus drummer percussionist. They wrote, flashy chops are wonderful, but groove, pocket, the ability to listen, react and contribute to the musical conversation is a must. Hoffman, a drummer from Shreveport, Louisiana, documented his preparation for the audition on YouTube.

And he said, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. He wrote that on Instagram in January. He said, I came and I did my thing the way I do it. It went as well as I could have hoped. Maynard James Keenan was sitting directly in front of me and watched my entire audition. That had to be a little nerve wracking. He said he gave me this towel.

It's been one of the most incredible days of my life. I love you all. We did this. So now he is the new drummer for Primus. I thought that was pretty cool. And then one last thing. The big musical anniversaries keep rolling in. And Oasis is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.

with a special reissue. It was originally released in 2000. The album marked a change in the band's sound featuring tracks like Go Let It Out and Sunday Morning Call. The anniversary edition includes remastered tracks, B-sides, and rare demos.

And is available in various formats, including vinyl and digital. And short music news. That's all we need. You know why? We won the Super Bowl. That's right. That's all we needed. All right. We will break. Come back in a second. Wrap up the show. Letter of the Day for the Word of the Week prize, of which I will tell you about when we return. Stay there. In MMR's early days, we used carrier pigeons for requests. But some people got mad at us.

So now we have the text line at 39333. It's faster, better, and there's less poop. So text us anytime at 39333. Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. ♪ music playing ♪

We got you, Hooters. 93.3 WMMR. Everything that rocks. Hooters part of our pep rally concert series. Singing the Eagles fight song. It gets fired up last week. And here we are. Champions today. It all worked. All came together wonderfully.

I would like to quickly thank a couple of people who joined us on the program this morning. Out of nowhere, our good friend Frank Caliendo called in. He was singing about us last night and today.

on the heels of the victory. And so, yeah, he checked in and he did all these great voices, of course, because he's wonderful. And he's not coming to town or anything. He's coming like in the summer or late May, I think he's going to be in. But nonetheless, he just wanted to pop in and say hello. And then we checked in with Marissa live from New Orleans and she was on Bourbon Street walking around. She's flying back later this afternoon. So she was given the rundown of what things were like

Not in the stadium, but in and around New Orleans for Eagles fans. And it was great to hear her perspective as well. But we started the day off with our sports commentator. And he's calling back in again. He was on his way home at 6.15 this morning. And he let us know what was going on after the celebrations in the street last night. Ladies and gentlemen, Pierre Robert is back on again. Hey, Pierre.

Hello, good day. Hey. I'm on the injured reserve. That's what I hear. You're catching a little bit of traffic on the way into work, I understand.

Every mother effing road is closed that I've been trying to take, which is a personal plot against me. I know. Well, let me ask you more importantly, we again, we talked to you for a good bit of time this morning at 615. You were just going through your front door. How much sleep did you get?

Two hours. It's all you need. I dreamed that Marissa was the homecoming Super Bowl prom queen being carried on a sedan chair down Broad Street by well-oiled and muscled eagles. It was quite something. Yeah, that sounds about right. Maybe that'll come to pass. We still have until maybe Friday to find out if that'll happen or not.

I think it will. But more on that another time. All right. Meanwhile, we have had a victory, and glorious things are...

Of what? Et cetera. Glorious things are et cetera. Yes. So you were there on Broad Street as people spilled out en masse to celebrate the win last night. Anything you want to share from that? I know we already talked about it earlier this morning, but we're probably chatting with a few different people that weren't awake then.

Right. Well, I just it was I was in a tavern a block away and, you know, just made my way down. I was at Locust. Yeah, Locust and 13th. I made my way down to Broad and it just was like it was like every single time.

human funnel was funneling people into Broad Street. When you see those overhead shots, I guess drone shots or whatever they might be, it gives you a perspective. I couldn't tell you a number, but more importantly, I can tell you the energy. It was just so joyous.

I remember when, you know, we broadcast from the parade last time and I couldn't get a parking spot anywhere in town. We were up at the art museum. I had to park down by written out square and walk up through the city to get to the condo where you guys were broadcasting. Wow. And, um,

I suspect it will be somewhat similar this time. But there was a vibe in the air that I had never felt in the time I had been in this city on that day. And there was close to that vibe, you know, I mean, it was a quieter vibe, oddly enough, walking up to join where you guys were broadcasting. And everywhere I looked, there was quiet joy, if such a phrase exists.

on everyone's face. And similarly, there was loud joy last night, but it was just joyous. It was just like, it was emotional, actually, really. I mean, you know, you're talking about people, you know, being, I don't know much about sports, but obviously all the prognosticators said, you know, said that, you know,

you know, uh, the other fellows had the, had the odds in their favor and the, you know, and I think being the scrappy underdogs, you know, our lads just picked it up and, and, and showed that you don't have to accept, um, any negative perspective about yourself or your abilities when you can harness your, you know, your inner abilities and really do something amazing. And, um,

I think that's what happened last night. And the crowd got it. And the crowd was just, as I told you earlier this morning, I talked to a guy playing a frying pan. I mean, it was just like, sir, are you playing that frying pan? Of course I'm playing a frying pan. Okay, do you know Hello Dolly? And he didn't. But it was just not a problem.

And the ballet dancers. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The ballet dancers. When we passed the Academy of Music, doing that Eagles pirouette and the double salchow was just unbelievable. Oh, there were ice skaters there, too. It was unbelievable, yes. And, of course, the ski jump.

Yes, all of those things were there. And yeah, it was just it was phenomenal. I mean, thousands of people and everywhere there. You know, the police were did incredible job, first of all. And secondly of all, while the time I was there, which is almost two hours, I was out in the center of Broad Street. I saw no problems. I guess a few kicked up at the end.

Just a little bit, but nothing, again, what could have been, I think the city and the people participating distinguished themselves nicely.

Yeah, that's so important, you know, for the national and the world media because it's such a great city. To me, it's a, not to be overly analytical or cosmic, but it's an example of, again, stepping into your potential. And this city has that potential. You know, it's got great arts and culture and music and food and everything you would possibly want in a great city. It's a world-class city. And last night, the team...

And the audience, the fans, stepped up into that zone. And my wish is that we could retain that. I don't know if that's possible, but stepping up into that higher functioning level and reflecting the world-class nature of the city was incredible. Very nice. Let's carry that on. Absolutely. Carry that on. You'll be recounting some of that, I'm sure, today during your show, correct? I'm going back to bed now.
