Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme Markets. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve Show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steve and Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve Show. Hello, Preston, hello, Casey, how do you say?

Hello, Cassie. How do you say hello to the listeners? How do you say hello? Hello, Steve. Hello, everybody. WMMR Philadelphia. I think you're sleeping. I'll skip it. You come back in an hour. I'll skip it. You want to? I told you. Need sleepy.

You want me for a pillow? Please go away. Let me sleep for the love of God. You're listening to Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR with Preston Elliott. I'm just getting warmed up. And Steve Morrison. And it absolutely will not stop ever. Plus, Casey Boy. When you're the most annoying sound in the world. Nick McElwain. That last one goes out to Nick. And Marissa Magnata. Care to join me for a glass of breakfast wine? No.

And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Oh my goodness. Friday. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Welcome, welcome, friend. Happy to have you on board. Let's begin our weekend. After we get through today, it'll be the weekend, but let's do it now.

Starting with the weather forecast for today, we are looking at partly cloudy skies. A high of about 87 degrees. Not too bad. Tomorrow, calling for some afternoon thunderstorms. So heads up on that. The high for Saturday, 80. And then showers on Sunday. High 72. Monday, we'll be back to the partly cloudy and 82 degree mode. So a little bit of a bump over the weekend, but just heads up on that.

And now, Kristen and Steve's news update. All right, today is Friday, June 6th. Good morning. A driver was arrested in Delaware County after a wild police chase that started in West Philadelphia. This happened around 7 to 15 last night as a person in a white Chevrolet Malibu led Philadelphia police officers through city streets. The driver was seen speeding past cars and it looked like the Malibu hit an SUV during the daring escape.

The chase moved into Upper Darby and then lands down before officers swarm the vehicle to make an arrest near the 100 block of East Plumstead Avenue. Doris Alexander, who watched everything from her front porch, told reporters, I was very shocked. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Police were everywhere. Eventually, the driver was taken into custody after a brief altercation with officers. She said, when I came to the door, they snatched the guy out of the car, beat him up and put him in the car and took him away.

Police have not identified the suspect or any details about the chase, only saying the man fled from a vehicle investigation.

A fire has damaged 40 decommissioned SEPTA buses, including 15 electric buses at a Philadelphia storage yard. Employees reported the fire yesterday morning at the SEPTA Midvale District in the Tioga-Nicetown section of the city. It was upgraded to a three-alarm blaze, and thick black smoke could be seen billowing in the air at the height of the fire.

When the smoke finally cleared, some of the buses had melted into the ground. Wow. A total of 100 buses were in the yard, including gas-powered and electric buses. They were slated to be sold for a nominal amount or scrapped, according to SEPTA spokesperson Scott Sauer.

Decommissioned buses are generally stored in the area for a year or less while SEPTA makes arrangements to dispose of them. The electric buses involved had not run in several years. Sauer said SEPTA is involved in ongoing litigation with the manufacturer of the buses and that they were still being stored as part of the litigation.

When they were put into storage, the batteries were disconnected, the coolant was drained, and the buses continued to be inspected in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. In 2022, a coolant issue was actually blamed for a fire in another bus located at a different depot. But yeah, these things melted into the ground. That is some intense heat. Yep, yep. And then finally, according to a recent report, and I cannot believe I'm reporting this. Okay. Florida officially announced

What? What? No! No!

Now, there are 293 stores in New Jersey, 263 in Pennsylvania, and 50 in Delaware. However, Florida now boasts the highest number with 304 locations, which is 27% of all Wawa stores in the U.S. Listen, we love Wawa. Obviously, we've said it many times. We're massive Wawa supporters, and we take a bit of ownership. Yeah.

Of the whole Wawa mythos. I'm not happy with this. Yeah, it's ours. Unless I'm down there, then I'm happy with it. Then you're ecstatic. Yeah. And they are slightly different than some of the ones you'll find here. They have some different amenities. It's true. Which we have seen in person. It's true.

So Florida really pisses me off. I know I was a little hurt. Yeah, but you know what? Kudos to them for creating something that we all feel invested in. Well, herein lies the conundrum is that we're proud of it. We want it to spread and we want other people to have the joy of this.

But we don't want anyone to forget where it came from. Yes, where'd you come from? Or at least know. In Florida, they have no idea, probably, that it started in this area. They go on blissfully unaware. Casey, his entire life, has gone to the very first one. Wawa number one. You used to steal cow tails from that. No, no, no. I only stole it from the one in Morton. Okay, yeah. Not from Fort Paulson.

No, that's sacrilege. Sacrilege, you can't do that. So, Florida didn't get their first location until 2012, but Wawa has been expanding across the state ever since. So, obviously, it's working down there. Yep, most definitely. All right, in sports this morning. All sacks are young. All sacks are young. All sacks are young.

What the f*** is this? Alright, Nick McElwain, give it to us. The Phillies lost to the Blue Jays. 9-1 yesterday afternoon in Toronto. Boba Shett hit a two-run home run. Miles Straw and Tyles Henneman each had two hits and three RBI. And the Blue Jays handed the slumping Phillies Boba Fett? Did you say Boba Fett? Boba Fett where? Boba Fett? Maybe I did? No, you didn't. You said Boba Shett. Boba Shett. Yeah.

But honestly, Casey, I very easily could have said Boba Fett. Boba Shett. Put me in, coach. So the Blue Jays handed the Slumping Phils their sixth loss in their last seven games. Alejandro Kirk, who works for Jabba the Hutt, added three huts. And it actually kind of looks like him. He's short and fat. He added three hits, and the Blue Jays took two of three from the series. Nick Cassianos had three hits, and Kyle Schober added an RBI single.

But the Phil's finished 1-7 with runners in scoring position. Up next is the weekend series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. Joe Ross, who has been pitching out of the bullpen all season, will get his first start tonight. The first pitch is scheduled for 640. In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers shocked the Thunder with a 111-110 win last night in Oklahoma City. Yeah, Case, I was surprised, but pleasantly surprised.

Tyrese Halliburton and the Pacers pulled off yet another last-second comeback in the playoffs. Halliburton's 21-foot jumper with .3 seconds left gave Indiana its first and only lead of the game, and the Pacers stole Game 1. The Pacers were down by 15 with 9 minutes and 42 seconds left, but once again found a way to win. Their rally is the biggest in the fourth quarter of an NBA Finals game since Dallas came back from 15 down to beat Miami in June of 2011. Game 2 is on Sunday night in Oklahoma City, and tip-off will be at 8 o'clock.

In the NHL, game two of the Stanley Cup Finals is tonight in Edmonton. Oilers lead the series over the Florida Panthers, one game to none. The puck will drop at eight. And the Eagles are still the Super Bowl champs. And that's what I have for you in sports this morning. All right, thank you very much. Nick, we welcome everyone as we are on the cusp of a couple of days off. Hopefully you have the weekends off. If not, sorry about that.

We're going to dive into it with plenty of things this morning. First and foremost, we will do a quick check-in with 6ABC. This morning, Tam and Aliana are behind the desk, so we'll see what they've got going on. We do have a guest on the program later this morning. We are going to have Corey B.,

Who is a YouTube creator and he is... Or TikTok, actually, I think is where he is, right? I found out that his main thing is Facebook, but he's across all platforms. Oh, okay. And he does stand-up as well. He's got like millions of followers. Yeah. So he's going to be popping in this morning as getting ready for an appearance at Helium Comedy Club. So we'll have him in the 8 o'clock hour. Today...

It's National Donut Day, bitches. And Duncan is going to be dropping off some stuff this morning. We're happy about that because we'll remind you about National Dunkin' Day. Or not National Dunkin' Day. National Donut Day. Which it may as well be. National Dunkin' Day. Made for Duncan. So they're marking the occasion.

The only way they can. And they are setting us up with some donuts and coffee today. So thank you very much for that in advance. We also have one final announcement to make the coolest teacher of the year 2025. And this will be the last one that we do today.

And the voting was robust, I've been told, for Washington Township High School. Yeah, Marissa said they were very active. I like that. And getting involved and reporting to us who they think should be the coolest teacher of the year. With all that, we have a name to announce. And congratulations are in order for...

Leslie Kaiser. And Leslie happens to have the distinction, I believe, of this year being our only foreign language teacher. She is a French teacher. In years past, we have had a few foreign language teachers, but this is the first one this year.

So yeah, French teacher at Washington Township High School, Leslie Kaiser, congratulations to you. You get the prize, and it being National Donut Day, we will give you from our sponsor, Duncan, a $50 gift card. And we are also going to set you up with the prize, the Preston and Steve Cools Tea Treaty or coffee mug. It's just a little memento from the kids. So if you know Leslie Kaiser, let her know. She's the winner.

And to get this call this morning on a request line, 610-660-9333. And we'll do a quick chat and see how things are going as certainly school, as Alice Cooper says here, out for the summer and out into a little time off. It's true. We'll talk to Leslie, hopefully. And in the meantime, we got a bunch to get to today. So we're going to do the connoisseur. We'll do a lot of giveaways.

and we'll dive into some other stuff too. So we'll take a quick break, come back in a second. The Entertainment Report is indeed on the way, and that check-in with 6ABC, back in just a moment, so stay with us. WMMR.com, your one stop for everything you need to know about WMMR, including our new phone number, so you can copy and paste it into your phone. No pen required, because we care. Well, that and Jackie Chews all our pens.

Hey, welcome to the Preston and Steve podcast, which is brought to you by Acme Markets. Hungry and in a hurry? Acme's flash grocery delivery or pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme, fresh foods, local flavors, and the official grocery partner of the Preston and Steve show. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks to Steven Singer for being the official jeweler of the Preston and Steve show.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. So the stupid question this morning, I'm going to give away a pair of tickets to see Mads McCusker, the American Teenist Tour, Saturday, August 16th, Ovation Hall. Cracks me up every time. In Atlantic City. So here is the question for you. A male horse is known as a colt until it reaches what age? Ha. All right. Good one. 610-660-9333, the number. A male horse is known as a colt until it reaches what age?

Until it reaches what age? 610-660-9333. About two minutes away from our check in with 6ABC. I'll go ahead and mention a couple of birthdays while we get ready for that. Today being Friday, June 6th. Robert England turns a year older. Yes, Freddy Krueger himself. Had him in the studio a number of times. He is great. A lot of fun. Embraces that character. Has directed a number. You know what he was in?

I forgot. Ford Fairlane. Remember that? Yeah, yeah. He was the bad guy in that. He was the bad guy in that. And then Stranger Things did a nice pulling him into the story and with some nods to Freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger. It was pretty cool. So he turns 78 years old today.

The great Harvey Fierstein has a birthday. He is 73 years old. Did you ever actually see Torch Song Trilogy? Never did, no. It's really good. It is really good. There's something that's been resurfacing on social media. It was him and a Barbara Walters interview and her asking him about being openly gay. Right, right, right. And it's just... It's so dated now about the perceptions of homosexuality back then. And the questions she's asking, they seem kind of...

I mean, really elementary. Yeah, way outdated. And it's interesting. He had some really cool perspectives on what it's like for someone who was living in a closeted world. And as these normalcies were starting to come out into the open. It's pretty cool. Did you ask what kind of gay tree he would be?

Gay tree? The famous Barbara Walters question? What kind of tree would you be? He's 73. We got about 10 seconds before they're going to throw it to us on 6 ABC. I'm going to fade this up. We'll hear the conversation. I don't hear anything right now, Marissa, by the way. It's the Zoom, Casey, that we usually check in with them on.

I should be hearing something. Nothing. What's happening? I don't know. So we're going to see if we are connected. And Marissa is poking around right now to find out. But yeah, they're supposed to throw it to us right now. If you guys are throwing it to us, we can't hear you. So we can't hear you. We can't see you. I don't know what's going on. I'm directing this to the 6 ABC gang. And that's Tam and Aliana. So I don't know.

Marissa, you want me to turn your mic on? Just keep going with birthdays. We're going to check some things on our end. Maybe go for another one and we'll check. Okay. I will keep the Zoom turned up and if I hear something that I'll know we're back on. Paul Giamatti's birthday is... If anybody orders Malone, I am not drinking any...

f***ing Marlowe. Sideways is such a great movie. Saving Private Ryan, let's not forget he had a small role in that. John Adams, you've been watching, right? Yeah, I finished that and I've been watching Succession 2. It was great. So he turns 58. He's just...

Fantastic. And pig vomit. Yeah, of course. Absolutely. So happy 58th, Paul Giamatti. You meant billions. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I get them confused all the time. Billions in succession. Very wealthy people. Succession is like a billion. Well, it's very wealthy people in New York City and similar plot lines occasionally. It's like a billion. All right. We also have Jason Isaacs.

Yeah, we spoke to him not that long ago. We had a couple of conversations last year with him. And real nice guy. He's actually very funny. And he's been... He really enjoyed being part of the Harry Potter world. But he did say it was difficult playing to nothing a lot of times. Yeah. With the green screens and stuff. Yeah. But he's amazing. We've talked about him before and his ability to...

really dive into dialects and outside of being a great actor and doing all the things that you need to do to present yourself and deliver the lines, but the fact that he can take these, like in White Lotus. He's doing a pitch-perfect North Carolinian, Carolinian, I guess. Upper crusty. Yeah, yeah, dialect.

Yeah, so he's 62 today. We also have Uncle Cracker celebrating his birthday today. I don't know if he has candy bars or crackers, but he is just Uncle Cracker. You know what I'm talking about? No. Cracker Bar. Sorry, sometimes I just kind of say things and hope that maybe Casey will pick up on it or not. Crackers. Uncle Cracker.

Ladies and gentlemen, Uncle Cracker. Boxes of crackers. His name is Matthew Schaefer, by the way. But you can call him Uncle Cracker. I'm your crackers in a box of candy bars. Love that guy. That's Carl. Where does Carl stand now currently? Does he hate us or does he love us? I don't know. I have no idea. Carl!

Uncle Cracker is 51. I do know that. It is also Steve Vai's birthday today. I think Steve Vai is probably the most accomplished guitarist. I mean, listen, there's loads of amazing musicians, but as far as a guy that really, when I see what he's doing, I just can't believe that a human being can do that type of thing. It's Steve Vai that I think of. The greatest...

rock guitarist? I think one of the most accomplished. But he mainly is in progressive instrumental rock. So these really long and intricate pieces of music that float in and out of the rock genre and more into jazz and fusion type of things, you know, Steve? But he's just incredible in his ability. So...

He turns 65 years old today. And he does it with such effortless...

movement. Yeah, I love his stuff. I love his sound. It blows me away. And we're watching a video of him right now. He's very theatrical, too, with his hand movements and everything, and he just feels it. The guy's amazing. Happy 65th to Steve Vibe. Sandra Bernhardt, the comedian, turns 70 years old. 70! Yeah, so she hits a milestone. I remember Sandy! She was kind of a revelation in the movie The King of Comedy. Yeah, she was great. Bjorn Borg, the tennis great, Swedish tennis ace. He won

five years in a row at Wimbledon. It was pretty amazing to watch him play back in the day. Very much so. Did he have the whole issue with his taxes? Was it John? There was Boris Becker. Boris Becker, that was it. Yeah, I don't know, but maybe Bjork did as well. He turns 69 years old today. My friend and I always used to call him Bjorm Bjork. Bjorm Bjork.

All right. And then last birthday, Steve, I know you love this guy, Colin Quinn. Yes. He turned 66. One of the best. Yep. So happy birthday to everybody on this sixth day of June. Let's see if you can answer the question, which is a male horse is known as a colt until it reaches what age? And we are going to go to... We'll go to Luke. Hi, Luke. Luke. Luke.

All right, Luke, are you there, sir? Yeah, I'm here. Get Zooks. Get Zooks, buddy. All right, Luke, a male horse is known as a colt until it reaches what age?

Four years old. So I'm going to let him have it. Everybody on hold says four because the reason being they are a cult for four years. Okay. And then at five they change and I think I know why he answered it that way. So I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to give it to you. So that's a 180. Hang on a second.

So, yeah, they're known as, and I think he got confused with, it ends at five. You know what I mean? Right, right, yeah. We have one more birthday. It's Brent Porsche's birthday. Shut up! Yeah!

I have no idea how old he is. I think he's a little younger than I am, but happy birthday, Brent. Love, Brent Porsche at Harry's Son of a Bitch. He is. Happy birthday to you, brother. All right. Oh, and before we dive into the entertainment report, we got to do a call with our coolest teacher. Oh, hey. They're on the line. They're ready to go, so we may as well chat real quick. Washington Township High School has named Leslie Kaiser the coolest teacher of the year. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Leslie to our program. Yay!

Hi, Leslie. Hi. Congratulations.

Oh, merci. Thank you. Oh, yeah, you're a French teacher. Merci. How do I say it? Félicitations. Is that you're welcome? Yeah, félicitations. That was actually a very good pronunciation. Merci beaucoup. Félicitations. Congratulations. Oh, how do you say you're welcome? I don't know that. Dorian. Dorian? Dorian. Ask her. She's better at it than I am. Yeah, exactly. I don't think I have anything left to teach you. Leslie, how long have you been teaching French?

So I've actually been teaching for about 14 years, but this is like my fifth year in Washington Township. If you're in Washington Township and yet you dominated, you destroyed all the other teachers and you're the favorite. And you're actually, as Preston pointed out earlier, the first foreign language teacher of this cycle. What do you think makes you so popular with the students?

I don't know. I mean, I am pretty awesome. You are pretty awesome. No, they're wonderful. I'm so thankful I have the most amazing students in the school. I mean, they are really, really top-notch. So I am very thankful that they voted for me, and that is just very sweet. Leslie, you know, foreign languages, a very difficult thing for some people to pick up on. How do you...

How do you get a breakthrough with somebody who's having difficulty with learning a new language? Are there any tricks that you can use?

Absolutely. I mean, I agree. It can be very difficult. You know, it's not always everyone's bag to learn a new language. But I think if you can interest every person with something that relates to them or kind of have targeted themes where people can, you know, everybody likes to talk about themselves. I think you can win everybody over and kind of get them talking about themselves in a way that's

relevant and meaningful to them, even in another language. Do you put any stock in the newer ways of teaching languages like Rosetta Stone and stuff like that? Or is it is just the old school methodology still the best? Well, I think there's many ways you can learn a language. I mean, I was really lucky in the fact that, you know, I grew up, you know, my dad literally was from France. I mean, I kind of had an interest there. But, you

Obviously, going to the country is going to be the best possible thing you can do to just immerse yourself. But I think a lot of my students love using a lot of the apps like Duolingo. And I think any way that you're interacting with a language that is relevant and meaningful to you and you're learning, that's awesome. All right. So how often does this happen? You grow up in a household where you know the language. Yes.

You go to high school. You take that class as an EZA. Leslie, you did that, didn't you? Well, I have to say, I'm also an alma mater of Washington Township. So I was really lucky. Oh, that's cool. Oh, look at you divert the question here. I asked you if you already knew French and you took that as an EZA. Yes.

It was not that easy because there's still a lot of grammar. I mean, you can speak French and still have to learn all the grammar. Okay. All right. Let's just say it was an easy B+. I mean, you can speak English and fail an English class, you know? Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

Way to have her back, Nick. I like it. You French people all stick together. Leslie, on behalf of the students, we're going to give you a couple things. Our sponsor, Dunkin', and by the way, it's National Donut Day today. We're going to give you a $50 Dunkin' gift card. Ooh la la. Ooh la la.

They do have things like croissants. Croissants. And we're also going to give you the big prize, which is the President Steve Kuhl's Teacher of the Year coffee mug. And that's just to represent what the students think of you. So we hope you enjoy that, Leslie. I've been looking forward to it. Excellent. Well, have yourself a great summer and thank you so much for doing what you do, okay? Merci. And thank you to all my students. Excellent. All right, Leslie Kaiser, guys. I love that.

I love that. A cool teacher in our last one of the year. We'll do it again next year. And thanks to everybody. We wish we could do every single school. We just don't have enough time. This is just our acknowledgement of people who work really, really hard and really want our future to be bright and educated. And French. And we appreciate what you do. So thank you very much. All right. To the entertainment stories. We're going to go there. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have teamed up as co-owners of the rebranded

flying ruse sail GP team alongside sailor Tom Slingsby. Is this a sailing team? I didn't look into this. And I assume it's, yeah. Because they talk about having these competitions and all this stuff. So, of

According to a joint statement, they said, we are incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. Apologies in advance to Australia. Hugh brings a deep love for a pride in his home. This is according to Ryan Reynolds. Pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. And he will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride.

Yeah. So if you stop and think about it, yeah, great song case. If you think, Reynolds now has ownership of an actual auto racing team, right? And now a sailing team as well. Yep. The Flying Roos will compete at the upcoming Sail Grand Prix in New York. Where?

where Slingsby leads with a record three championships. All right. You know, I did a little bit of sailing when I had the opportunity when we were into boats. I'm too dumb. I'm too dumb to know what pulling the wrong ropes and all that stuff. I like Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers. It's kind of a light bucket list thing for me. And here's the deal. I get motion sickness.

But I want to know how to do it. I think it's an interesting skill. It is. And when it's so, it was a friend's boat that I was kind of, you know, dabbling with. And it was very cool. And it's what's,

sort of wonderful is that it's quiet. The wind is... Oh, yeah? I mean, you're hearing the rattling of stuff on the boat, but it's still... Yeah. It's just really peaceful. My brother's a good sailor, Steve, and he learned actually the camp that Marissa and I went to, my son went to, called Camp Tacua. It's on the Chesapeake Bay, and they have a sailing camp that's down there as well. It's called Ticua. And it's really reassuring to be on the boat with him because he knows exactly what he's doing. Good. And I don't. And so to your point, like...

But that's how his brain works. He's able to process that stuff and he likes having those tasks in front of him. And because of that, he's a really good sailor. I think when I would leave the dock, I would immediately issue a Mayday just to cover my ass. All right, Benicio Del Toro had a run-in with TSA that was more comedy than crisis. While flying from Boston to Los Angeles, the actor told Seth Meyers on Late Night that he got flagged

at security because of his carry-on. It was a film script for Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, and it was printed in huge font. And Benicio said that he likes to make the headings bigger so that he says he can get to it real quick. But that was ultimately his downfall because he said the opening scene is called Interior Airplane Bombing.

Oh, wow.

until a supervisor who may have recognized him ended up letting him pass. Still, he gave props to the worker. He said, I give that guy a thumbs up because he was paying attention. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if you're carrying that through, I would be alerted to that. Yeah, yeah. So they were very thorough. Now, another interesting encounter happened

Ellen Pompeo. She's a TV icon, but her travel habits are refreshingly relatable, minus the run-in with the bomb squad. In a recent Travel and Leisure chat, the Grey's Anatomy star shared that she always packs the usual stuff. She said mints, water, hand sanitizer, glasses, baby wipes, stuff like that in her carry-on.

But a flight in March took a turn when the TSA flagged her. After being held by security, the actress couldn't believe her luxury heroin organic sunflower seeds. She said that were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy were the culprit. She said they literally held me for an hour and they brought the bomb squad in. And the issue apparently, she said, most likely a chemical on the packaging. Yeah, yeah.

That's pretty wild. You know, they had that story just recently about the Chinese National was coming in and there was kind of like scrunched up

And inside the napkins were this fungus that they were, they thought they were obviously they were planning or it looked like they were planning to use it for nefarious reasons. But yeah, they picked up on it. They caught it. Yeah. Ellen even tried to throw him away, but instead had to wait for the bomb squad's assessment while texting her publicist. She said, I might not get on the plane. And.

And you're never going to guess why. Thankfully, she made her flight, but the seeds didn't make it. So I believe this is one of those things where, you know, they do the swab and they come back and see if there's any, you know, bomb making materials or anything along those lines. Have you ever gotten your luggage back and found like powder residue or things on it? I have once or twice. And I don't know what that's for, but I assume that's part of the screening process. Or they just like to do blow on my luggage. Never seen that.

Tom Felton is heading back to Hogwarts, but this time on Broadway. The actor best known for playing Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films will reprise the role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child starting on November 11th at the Lyric Theatre. It'll be his first time playing Draco in nearly 15 years and his official Broadway debut. He shared saying...

It's surreal to be stepping back into his shoes and, of course, his iconic platinum blonde hair. He noted that when I begin performances this fall, I'll also be the exact age that Draco is in the play, making it a full circle moment for him. That's cool. Yeah. And it's his fictional father's birthday today.

Oh, yeah. Jason Isaacs. You're right. I've never seen Curse of Child, and I've heard mixed reviews on it. I want to. I think it would help sort of complete the Harry Potter. I've seen all the prequels, the Newt Scamander things, but I would love to see this. I'm just not a Broadway guy as much as Casey is, but I don't know. I would definitely check it out. You can get tickets starting June 12th. The play boasts five Tony Awards, including Best Play, and is sure to feel even more magical with...

Tom Felton joining the cast. So he's played a prank so much, but the word is he's like the nicest guy. Yeah. He's one of those actors who just knows how to do it. Yep. How long did you say that run was going to be? 19 weeks. 19 weeks. Okay. That's a good stretch. Yep.

So weeks after Cheerstar George Wendt's death, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has shared how he died. And according to his death certificate, his immediate cause of death was cardiac arrest with congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension disorder.

as underlying causes. That's kind of what you would have assumed because he's always been overweight. Yeah, also they list significant contributing conditions including end-stage renal disease and kidney failure. So, sad news. He passed away in his sleep. He was at home and he was in bed. So, you know, a horrible, drawn-out ending for him. I think we all would, you know, you want to go that way. So he was 76 years old, of course.

Tom Cruise earned a Guinness World Record for performing 16 burning parachute jumps during the filming of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning. 16. Each jump involved his parachute being set on fire midair as part of a high-risk plane sequence.

He shared while talking about the stunt in a video posted online saying, if this is twisted while it's burning, I'm going to be spinning and burnt. I have to kick out of the twist and then ignite in 10 seconds. No, no. The film was thought to be Cruise's final appearance as he's in the hunt. When asked if he's truly leaving, Cruise remained vague, saying, I'm not.

I'd rather just people see it and enjoy. The culmination has come to this moment right now. The series is supposed to carry on with his brother, Michael Hunt. Oh, wow. You can only hope so. Yeah. The movie debuted over the Memorial Day weekend, earning a franchise-best $200 million opening around the world. Its global box office total has reached $360 million so far and continues to climb.

So get ready to let it go all over again. Frozen the musical is headed to Disney Plus on June 20th. The filmed version of the West End production brings the magic of London's theater straight to your screen. The cast is stacked with Samantha Barks as Elsa and Laura Dawks as Anna, plus Jimmy Casongo, Craig Gallivan, and Oliver Ormanson. Jimmy. I'm sorry, I didn't have that turned up. Jimmy. Rounding out the leads with the music...

by original film songwriters Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez and book by Jennifer Lee. The show stays true to the heart of the Disney hit and fans will definitely feel the magic in addition to 12 new original songs. 12? Yeah, there's more Frozen to love than ever. Yeah, it's a long one. I remember seeing clips of wherever it debuted and they employ a lot of stage effects that are

Pretty damn impressive. Awesome. Like that whole freezing her environment. Yeah, making the pass or whatever. That's pretty wild to watch. Yeah, they're getting better at that stuff on stage because the Stranger Things adaptation in New York is apparently getting great reviews for it. Mainly it's effects. Like they're blowing people away. So got to get up and see that.

MGM Plus just teased The Institute, its upcoming thriller based on Stephen King's 2019 novel. Did you read it? I did. I didn't love it, but a friend of mine who is also a King fanatic, he loved it. Oh, all right. So sometimes the book speaks to you and it does speak to other people and that's kind of the way it is. It was...

It's an interesting story. It's freaky, for sure. It's about the Just Sayin' Institute, correct? It is about the Just Sayin' Institute, yeah. No, Steve, it actually has... From Stephen King. It's an interesting... Well, I'll read the synopsis and then I'll give you a little bit of my take on it. So, the streamer's first look photos gave fans a sneak peek of Mary Louise Parker as the Evil Institute director, Julia Sigsbee.

And Joe Freeman's teen genius character, Luke Ellis, strapped down in a chair. The eight-episode series centers on Luke, who is kidnapped and taken to the Institute, a creepy facility filled with other kids who also have strange powers. King loves using those, like the Institute in Firestarter. Well, that's what I was going to say. So that's called The Shop. Right. And that pops up in a few different books, and the Institute feels like The Shop. Like that, yeah. So it's kind of like that.

Elsewhere, Ben Barnes plays a former cop trying to start over, but that's too bad as his path will eventually intertwine with the teen prisoner. The show is set to stream on MGM Plus, and that will be on July 13th. But there have been stories that have been just kind of okay, and then the shows and the movies end up making it really cool. So maybe that'll end up happening. We'll find out.

CNN will air a live commercial-free broadcast of the Broadway play Good Night and Good Luck tomorrow night, 7 p.m. Eastern, a first for live Broadway telecast. The play starring George Clooney tells the story of CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow confronting Senator Joseph McCarthy's tactics.

Anderson Cooper and Pamela Brown will lead special coverage with Brown reporting live outside the Winter Garden Theater before the show. After the performance, Cooper will host a live panel discussion, Good Night and Good Luck, Truth and Power, with journalism students in the audience. Scott Pelley will reflect on Murrow's legacy. And a post-show panel includes notable voices such as Jorge Ramos, Connie Chung, Kara Swisher, and Walter Isaacson. And Cooper will also interview Marvin Kalb, who is one of the last returnees

reporters hired by Edward R. Murr. Wild. So C-SPAN's trying to compete. They are running Revenge of the Nerds with a chat session afterwards. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, a little booger breakdown. Yeah, Tom Brokaw's going to interview the existing cast. Nice. So as booger, were those real boogers? All right, let's get to this case. This movie's opening this weekend. Oh, booger!

All right, opening this weekend, Bell Arena. Action-adventure starring Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, and Ian McShane. Taking place during the events of John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum. The film follows Eve Maccaro, who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruscaroma.

Running time, two hours, five minutes. Longs rated R. Wide theater release at Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 74%. So I got the breakdown on this. And basically, the female components of this world, whereas John Wick and his ilk are straight-up assassins, the ballerina and the ballerina characters or whatever league it is, their job is to rescue.

So they're sent to rescue people, whereas John Wick and his ilk are sent to terminate people. All righty.

Then the movie I'm looking forward to seeing this weekend, The Life of Chuck. It's a drama, sci-fi, fantasy. It stars Tom Hiddleston, Chitowell Ejiofor, and Karen Gilliam. Charles Chuck Krantz experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us. It's an hour and 50 minutes long. It is rated R. And a wide theater release with Rotten Tomatoes score coming in at 83%.

It's really getting some good reviews, so I'm excited to see that. You're seeing that today? I will see it tomorrow, most likely. The Phoenician Scheme is also opening. Comedy, action, crime. And it stars Benicio Del Toro, Mia Thrill-Pitton, and Michael Cera. It's a story of a family and a family business. Simply put, a movie about things.

It's an hour and 41 minutes long, rated PG-13. Wide theater release. Rotten Tomatoes score is at 78%. And then finally, Dangerous Animals opens. It's a horror, mystery, and thriller. It stars Hasse Harrison, Joss Houston, and Jai Courtney.

When Zephyr, a rebellious surfer, is abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer and held captive on his boat, she must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below. It's an hour and 37 minutes long. Rated R. Wide theater release and Rotten Tomatoes score at 84%. So all the movies this week get pretty good reviews. So that's solid. All right, let's get to the clips.

Over seven seasons of Mama June from not to hot. Great show. The infamous matriarch has lost 300 pounds, been arrested for drug charges and caused endless family drama. And in this clip, daughter, Aliana Honey Boo Boo Thompson, talks about how that has molded her. Yeah, I tell myself all the time, like, I would never do anything like this.

Like, I just could not imagine myself being where my mama was. I would never. I think in a way it was kind of good to see my mom like that. Just so like I know I'd never, ever, ever, ever want to be like that. What the f*** up, huh? New episode of Mama June from Not To Hot airs tonight on WE tv. Here's our next clip.

Stick follows a washed up golfer who focuses on a rising young star in the game to turn things around. And in this clip, Owen Wilson talks about how starring in the show has affected his game. I don't know if I'm a pro, but I have gotten a lot better. And

that's an accomplishment because when I started it, golf just seemed like, you know, Mount Everest to me. It was like, I just felt like I just do not have an aptitude for this game, but I slowly but surely, you know, been learning it. First three episodes of stick are streaming now on Apple TV. You're going to check it out. Absolutely. Yeah, without question. That's my game. And I like Owen Wilson too.

All right, that's your entertainment report, folks. We got stuff to get to today, so we will take a break. We're going to have a guest on the program at Helium Comedy Club.

Where's... Well, I gotta wait for you to hit the bell, and then I... Oh, I didn't know we did it at the beginning of the segment. It's time for the kind of story we just followed, Bell Protocol. Yeah, thank you. We will hit that again. But listen, we're gonna have a theme today with the clips...

Because today is National Donut Day. And by the way, our friends at Dunkin' have brought in... Look at all these donuts behind me. Marissa just brought them in there. WMMR, Preston and Steve. National Donut Day donuts. So thank you to Dunkin' for that. And thank you for our spokesmodel. Yes, Carol Merrill. She was totally doing her prices right with that as she came in. But...

Yeah, so they're marking the occasion in the only way they can. Bold, joyful, fueled by donuts and coffee. Guests can enjoy a free donut with any beverage purchase. And it marks a major milestone for the offer of 15 years of free donuts on National Donut Day, which is pretty awesome. So stop by.

And check out your local Dunkin. Participation may vary. Offer valid today only. Exclusions apply. While supplies last. So rock on. So we will do that with the clips that we will play. And I will get to that in a moment. And we will be giving away Acme gift cards. $50 Acme gift cards. Who is the sponsor of our connoisseur segment. So I'm going to start with this story.

An award-winning restaurant that boasts over a dozen locations across the United States will be closing its only Pennsylvania establishment, Del Frisco's Grill. No kidding. Yeah. And I've never been to Del Frisco's. I've been a few times. I really like it. Isn't that where we went when we sat and we had dinner with Eric Lindros? Yeah. It was awesome.

No. There was more than one. Del Frisco's is the one that has the... There was more than one dinner with Eric. That's how close we are. I went to the one that was whatever took over the striped bass. A little clarity here. There is a Del Frisco's on...

Chestnut Street. That is remaining open. The Del Frisco's Grill is at the Cambria Hotel where we broadcast from for the Super Bowl Parade. So there's a difference between Del Frisco's and Del Frisco's Grill? Okay, so the Grill is closing. I never thought Eric Lindros would be calling my phone. I don't even know why I do this segment anymore because Marissa is the one who does it all.

There we go. It's kind of my area of expertise. Her Delicious City podcast. Del Frisco's Grill, multi-award winning American bar and grill that is known for offering elevated handcrafted cocktails and modern menu options is slated to close its only location in Pennsylvania. According to a notice filed with the Department of Labor and Industry, the Del Frisco's Grill location at 225 South Broad Street in Philadelphia. Ha ha.

will be closing its doors later this summer. I find it hard to believe that a restaurant of that caliber, what's the reason? They don't know. They didn't say. So they have 51 employees, so they're going to be affected. Sucks. The closure is set to begin on July 31st, and it will end on August 3rd. So you have time to get there.

and go have it. There are a plethora of steakhouses in that area of Philadelphia. It's true. Yeah. You got that, Capitol Grill, Steak 48. I don't know if you've tried Steak 48 yet or not. No. Oh, wow. That's one of those places where...

It's almost like you're in a spa. People take care of you from the second you walk in. They're like, hello, Mr. Oh, really? So you're getting the top level treatment. And do they have a steam room? But I just, I'm like, I'm not that special. Oh, you must think I'm famous. They let you go in and sit naked with all the sticks hanging from the walls. Oh, I love this. Ah, the meat spa. This is great, right? I'm sitting on a London broil. And I would love to be in a meat spa. Oh, yeah.

What a great idea. Have you done the meat spa? According to the Del Frisco's Grill website, the restaurant also has 13 other locations that are scattered across the country in states such as Texas, Massachusetts, Florida, New York, Tennessee, New Jersey, and Colorado.

Currently, Del Frisco's Grill in Philadelphia remains open and operational. It is still unknown why Del Frisco's has decided to close its Pennsylvania location. Yeah, I would be curious to learn because even though you do have high-level steakhouses in that very same area case, it has a reputation. I mean, it's got a legend to it. Hey, and by the way, I'm going to do this from time to time because, you know, we have the fast food roundup, which I told you, I get so many fast food stories, I decided to compile them.

into one portion. And sometimes I get a lot of local stories as well, like that one. And I have other stories I want to fit in as well because you usually only do five stories for the connoisseur. So I'm going to combine another local story in this particular segment. Are you the localizer? No, I'm not the localizer. Is this kind of like the city beat?

No, stop it, please. Stop it! The man's trying to work. Evil Genius Beer Company celebrates June's Pride Month with the release of the official beer of the Philly Gay Pride Month. It's called Love is Love.

And the Pride-themed charity beer returns for the month of June to raise money for the Trevor Project to help at-risk LGBTQIA plus youth. Festivities have started, they started this past Saturday, I believe, with a giant all-day and all-night series of events. So, no, actually, it's tomorrow.

From noon to 7, they're going to be having a Pride block party where Evil Genius will close the street outside the Fishtown Lab and present a full day of live music and entertainment, photo stations, beer release, food and LGBTQ shopping and vendors. And the event is open to the public. And it is family and Fido friendly. After the lab. What if your dog's not named Fido? They will present the first ever Pride rave from 8 till midnight.

Evil Genius will also celebrate the gay icons of Pride Month. And they'll have music with Pride drag shows in June celebrating the music of Beyonce, Spice Girls, and Panic at the Disco as well. Hey, have they ever used U2's Pride in the Name of Love for Pride parades and stuff? That's a good question. I mean, it just occurred to me, but it would kind of fit in pretty well. I mean, I know it's about MLK. I know.

Lyrically, yes, it fits in, but tonally, it's a completely different story. So, I don't know. You just see it as an opportunity to make more money. And as such, we're glad to apply it to a wholly other cause. Send your checks to Bono. All right. So, let's play a clip.

And I said there's a theme, National Donut Day. Yeah. Let's see if you know what movie this food clip is from. God, I love David Bowie. He is so sexy. You think the time to make the donuts guy is sexy? All right, 610-660-9333 is the number. Call if you know. Order up.

So Americans have been getting hit hard in the wallet when it comes to buying groceries. Food prices are expect to rise close to 3% overall from tariffs, including 4% for fresh produce. And I have a list of the most overpriced snacks to watch out for. So these are the ones who's

Prices have increased and are scheduled to increase even more. Potato chips. Your favorite bag of chips has become more expensive lately. Ten years ago, the price of an average 16-ounce bag of chips was $4.27. You can save some money if you can get your doctor to write a prescription. As of April, the same bag will cost you $6.61. I have been off of potato chips for a little while. And if I am having a hankering for chips...

I'll go Pringles. I used to be... You crazy bastard. I know, I know. You step way out of the box and you go for Pringles. It's almost like they're not potato chips. I know what you're talking about. They're crisps. They're not as greasy as other chips usually. That's part of it. That makes you feel a little bit better about eating them, or at least me personally. But Casey, I've stayed away from chips for a while too. I will...

sparingly eat a couple here and there and they'll do it. But does that eat more? I start to feel not right. There's almost like you can't eat just one. Yeah. I think they're chemically designed to do that. Yeah. I think they use the same active ingredient as heroin. Okay. Um...

Do they make manchos anymore? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. I haven't had one of those in a long time. I like manchos. I'm a fan of manchos. All right, another product, cheese. Cheese. Yeah. Yeah. So the cost of cheese has jumped 15% in price. The average price of cheese went from, and I guess this is just...

overall because cheeses range hugely absolutely yeah obviously things like uh reggiano and and uh and brie and stuff like that are going to be more expensive uh but cheese went from a dollar eighty to two dollars and seven cents per pound for dairy farmers in addition there's been a 20 increase in export inquiries and particularly from asia so those prices will continue what is a good asian cheese

I don't even know. Yeah, that's a good question, Steve. In eggs, in the world of eggs, eggs will increase 39.2% this year. While the May 2025 food price outlook noted egg prices dropped 10.5% over the last couple of months, prices were nearly 50% higher in April of 2025 compared to a year ago. That's because eggs are made with cheese.

And also the bird flu thing. Besides the fact that they're made from cheese. I mean, if you had chickens, it's not like you would get eggs for free. No, they're going to charge you. No, no, but you have to pay for bird seed or whatever it is. Yeah, feed. That'll be six bucks.

I would imagine. No, you're not getting a free ride just because I live in your backyard, you prick. Yeah, I would imagine it works out to be more economical, though. I don't know. But yeah, you have to pay for the upkeep of these animals. School. And let's not forget about education. Chicken school. Chicken ed. I want them educated. Chicken ed. Chicken school. Costs a lot of bucks. She's in her third year of chicken school right now. I'm very proud of her. Yeah.

Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Oh, my. Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Can you tell me all I need? All right. Also going up in price. Coolest chicken teacher. Oh, my God.

coolest chicken of the year. Oh, wow. That's a whole other subject. Girl Scout cookies. Love them! They're increasing. In 2023, a box was between $5 and $6, but now it's $7 as a result of inflation and the rising cost of cocoa and other baking supplies. Were they more expensive in New Jersey than they are in Pennsylvania? I thought I maybe heard that. I don't know. Chuck used to sell them out of Jersey. I will tell you this. A lot of this stuff...

I don't buy it enough to see a price increase. It's like gas. I need Girl Scout cookies, so I buy them. No, this past season, I literally didn't buy one box of Girl Scout cookies. I didn't see a Girl Scout outside of my act. Well, they're afraid. That radio guy comes here. Casey, just to let you know, they change from state to state. The prices are set by the local Girl Scout council. Interesting. They can be more expensive in New Jersey than in the state.

as opposed to PA based on what they set those prices to be. So of the Girl Scout cookies and then the Boy Scouts were popcorn, right? Yeah. I have not seen Boy Scout popcorn stands in like a couple years. That's a good point, Steve. I haven't either. Yeah, that's their main fundraising drive is popcorn. So, wow. All right. Also on this list, crackers and bread. Boxes of crackers.

Over the last five years, the price of crackers and bread... Ladies and gentlemen, a mega show tonight. We have cracker and bread.

The prices have increased 36 to 38% higher in 2025 versus 2020, which is a $7.28 difference in value. Do you have a cracker broker that you use? I do not use a cracker broker. I've become, vis-a-vis cheese, a cracker broker.

I have my favorite crackers. What is it? Do you know? It's a sesame cracker. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which I love. Are they like the water crackers that have sesame seeds on them? Love those. And my favorite one, Steve, is there's one that infuses olive oil and rosemary. Oh, I know where you're going. Those are my favorites. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm chubbing out. Yep.

So during the first quarter of 2025, Pepperidge Farm Cookies, Goldfish Crackers, and Crackers dropped 2% in sales, Food Business News reported. So that's your update on boxes of crackers. Thank you.

Real quick, you guys all right with the cracked pepper water crackers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nick, you pulled up the brand, Cars. Those are the ones that I prefer. Gary Newman owns that company. Crackers from Cars. Eat crackers from Cars. They're good. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

It took me a second. Breton, I think, is the other brand that I like. I like there's a little bit of kick to the black pepper, cracked pepper ones. Steve, I'm with you. Plain sesame, but sometimes you need a little bit of level up. Yep. Cracked pepper. Crackers and cars. Crackers and cars. Crackers and cars. Crackers and cars. Crackers and cars.

That is a meal, right? Cheese and crackers. Oh, I have some of my lowest... Like, I can commiserate with the movie Barfly now and never having really been anywhere near alcohol where I've walked away from an entire box of crackers and cheese that I've just molested sexually because it...

And that can easily become a meal. Nick, when I went to the graduation party at Preston's house last Friday, I immediately went into the kitchen and I stood around the crackers and cheese. There you go. Boom, boom, boom, boom. How often do you employ...

I'm standing by the counter so I'm not really eating this method of giving yourself permission. I'm just killing some time. I have nowhere to talk to, so I'll just sit here and eat for a little while. Exactly. It's your carte blanche.

All right, also, and here's the thing where I think you really get ripped off at grocery stores is, and listen, if you need to do it, if it's a time saver, I totally get it, but pre-cut fruits. There's a big difference in price between pre-sliced versus whole fruit. You can get it and cut it yourself. So here's an example. So a whole watermelon-

at a grocery store, just as a blanket example, is priced at $3.87, while the package of pre-cut watermelon is $7.97. So that's four bucks more. And now someone did the work for you and saved you some time. I know that's sometimes very important, but I like to do that stuff myself. I had to let my produce cutter go. He became too expensive. No, I do get the pre-cut watermelon chunks.

Well, that also might be because if you buy a whole watermelon, it's going to go to waste. Yeah, and that's really it. Sometimes I'll make a helmet out of the rind.

Just for fun. I kind of always wanted to do that. Steve, obviously I know you're not a drinker, but if you cut a watermelon in half and you pour vodka into the watermelon... Is that a little bit of heaven? It's terrible for you. The vodka gets so diluted so quickly that you have no idea how much you're drinking. But you put some ice in there, it's damn good, man. All right, another thing. Oh, we're looking at a cat with a miniature...

melon helmet. Oh my God, that's adorable. All right, another thing along the same lines as a pre-cut food, pre-made charcuterie boards. Oh, yeah. While there's plenty of pre-made charcuterie board options at the store, you will pay more. It's easy to make one for yourself and it'll cost way less, plus you have more variety. For example, a 12 and a half ounce Columbus charcuterie board that includes crackers, meats, cheeses, and olives. Crackers?

For around $19, you can buy the same items for around the same price and have way more to serve to your guests if you do the work yourself. To Nick's point, though, a lot of times, if it's just...

Claire and myself, we're not going to, we wouldn't need all that extra. Right. I also, I love charcuterie boards, but I'm not a fan of the meats that are included. Oh, man. I know, I know that sacrilege. Like salted meats? Yeah, I am not a fan. I missed this when we were in Italy, but...

My friend Eric, he was ordering a charcuterie board, like a tray of meats. And there was like some sort of, I don't know if they were using the metric system or whatever, but he ended up buying like five pounds of meat. Oh, no. Yeah.

And it was like one of those things he didn't realize until they brought it over to the table. It was like, what? You're laying down. It's already been cut, dude. All right. Well, those things, those are some of the things that you pay extra for and that prices on certain items at the store you're going to see over the...

not too distant future. All right, we have a food clip to play and try to get an answer for what movie this is from. I love David Bowie. He's so sexy. You think the time to make the donuts guy is sexy? All right, we're going to go to Michelle. See if she knows the answer to that. Hi, Michelle. Good morning. Good morning, guys. Michelle. All right. Can you name that movie?

Wedding singer. Wedding singer. Good job. Absolutely correct. Hang on just a second. We are going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry, Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery or Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Fast, fresh, right to your door. Acme Fresh Foods, local flavors. Let's play another movie clip. Has to do with donuts. It's National Donut Day today. Let's see if you know what this is from. Let's talk a little bit about desserts.

What you don't want to do is eat donuts. No donuts. Thank you, Arnold. This might be a tough one. Okay. This might be a really tough one. Marissa was telling me about it. So we'll see if you know the answer. All right. 610-660-9333. What movie is that from? All right. Order up. Hold on. Nope. This time you wait for the bell. All right. I always wait for the bell. All right.

Order up. There we go. Quick question, if I may. Yeah. What's your favorite flavor Dunkin' Donut?

The Cruller. Cruller. Cruller, and I have two favorites. Cruller and the Toasted Coconut. Okay. Chocolate glazed. Ah, very good. Straight glazed, bro. Oh, okay. It changes from week to week. All of the ones you said are my favorites. Except the Coconut one. No, no, no. I don't like Coconut. Marissa, how about you? I love the Toasted Coconut and the Cream Filled. All right. There we go. Our favorite donuts. All right. So I'm going to continue on with the sweet treat. Steve sent me this story, and it's all about monkey bread.

Oh, my God. The sticky, pulled-apart pastry that's typically made from canned biscuit dough. Sugary, cinnamony treat. Despite its seemingly silly name, monkey bread has nothing to do with actual monkeys. So why is this sweet pastry named after primates? Well, we're going to dig into the history of monkey bread. Monkeys!

Starting from the very beginning, before it became a centerpiece on American tables, the dish was known as something else entirely. Food historians trace its roots to, and I'm going to mess up this pronunciation.

Arne Galuska. Wow. Arne Galuska, I guess is how you say it. It's a Hungarian dessert that translates into the golden dumpling. And this pull-apart sweet bread was brought to the U.S. by Hungarian Jewish immigrants in the late 19th century.

It was a bakery stable in the immigrant communities, especially in California for several decades. In the 1970s, Betty Crocker even featured in a cookbook. Crocker. Yeah, I knew it. I knew it. Yeah, Betty Crocker. Betty Crocker. I finger-blasted Betty Crocker. Dear God. Why did you have to do that? I just had to give you that. I wanted you to go into the weekend with that imagery. Okay.

She featured it in a cookbook. The book labeled the sweet dish as Hungarian coffee cake. Eventually, it became known as monkey bread, a name that has stuck around to this day. And thanks to access. No, I'm sorry. Not access. Thanks to actress and first lady Nancy Reagan. What? Who's a big fan of the treat. Nancy, I don't taste any monkey in this.

Monkey bread made it to the White House Christmas table. So my introduction, just to jump in here quickly, I became aware of monkey bread as a thing. I'd say...

20 years ago? I mean, I'm an old bastard, so that's a long time to be unaware of it. And I fell in love with it. What I do love about, and I assume this is the classic monkey bread style, it's an easy, pullable pieces. Just little biteable, bite-sized little pieces that are all kind of glumped together. It's got what I love. Yeah, so Steve, I probably became aware of monkey bread about 30 to 40 years ago on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

There's a monkey bread store. Oh, is there? It is the best, like most tastiest I've ever. And I've made it at home. And it's really, really good that way. But you really need a Bundt cake. I see. A mold. It puts me in mind of Mr. Sticky. So where I became, and I was late to the game too, when Carter was in grade school, he was probably in like, I don't know, fourth, fifth grade or whatever. He started making it.

And you'd never heard of it before, right? No. Neither did I. I loved it immediately. Oh, it's so good. And it's very simple to make, by the way. So eventually, yeah, it became known as monkey bread. And Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan loved it. There's no monkey in this. You assumed there'd be some blood and viscera. Maybe some hair. Some hair. Yeah. Something like an orange ass, maybe, from an orangutan.

The pastry has continued to evolve. Now there are seemingly countless recipes floating around on the internet for traditional monkey bread, other sweet versions, and even savory spins on the dish. There's no clear answer as to how monkey bread got its name, but like most good mysteries, there are several theories at play. The most common explanation, and this is always what I thought...

is that it's named after the way it's eaten with your fingers, pulling apart sticky pieces of dough one by one, much like a monkey might eat something. Hmm, that's a mystery. Some also trace it back to 20th century slang. In the 1940s, monkey food was southern slang for casual snacks that you could pick at.

Probably the same, so the same reasoning. That combined with jumble bread, another old-timey term for breads made from small pieces of dough. I can't taste any jumble in this. Could have led to monkey bread. Another theory credits a silent film star, Zazu Pitt,

Zazu. Is it Zazu? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know who that is. Reportedly used the term in a 1945 cooking column after bringing the recipe. Sorry, dude. Clearing my throat. Forgot we were on the air, guys. Home from Nashville. Care to fart? Uh...

Pitts was known for her lavish Hollywood parties and apparently her monkey bread was it. In the end, monkey bread might just be one of the names that just stuck literally and figuratively like the dessert itself. It's a little weird and oddly delightful. So there you go. Yeah, it is. It is one of those that falls in my dangerous category. If there's one within reach, I'm going to go to town. Monkey bread history. All right. Let's see if we can get a winner. That's OK. We'll figure it out.

Let's see if we can get a winner. When's the first time doing this? People know what this is from. Here we go. Let's talk a little bit about desserts. What you don't want to do is eat donuts. No donuts. All right, we're going to go to John and see if he knows. Hey, John, morning, bud. Gadzooks! Gadzooks! All right, what movie is that from, John? The movie...

The movie is Dave. Dave is correct. Yes. I remember that sequence. So Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a cameo in the movie, and you got it right, and we are going to give you a $50 Acme Markets gift card. Hungry and in a hurry. Acme's Flash Grocery. Deliver your pickup. Get your fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. Acme Fresh Foods. Local flavors. All right, we have another movie clip to play. Let's see if you know what this is from. A gesture. Donuts.

Yeah, I don't know. Hard one. Want to play that again? Yeah, one more time. Listen closely. A gesture. Donuts. Wow, how wonderful. I wonder if anybody will know what that is from. If you do, 610-660-9333. Call now. Oh, wait a minute. Casey, here's what we're going to do. Hit it for me. Time for the fast food roundup. Woo!

I've only got two stories, but they are from the world of fast food. And the wait is over. McDonald's is bringing back the beloved snack wrap on July 10th. And this time it's sticking around for good. I actually do like the snack wrap.

It's easy. I'm not sure I've ever had a snack wrap. So, I'll describe it. So, you can choose between spicy or ranch, both packed with McCrispy chicken strips in a flour tortilla. I have had it. Yeah. It's good. Yeah, and if you just want a...

Literally, just a little bit. It's something that's small that you can get on the go real quick. If you're driving by Mickey D's and you just need a little bit of something, you can grab that. And I did like those. And they're easy to eat in the car, too, because they're like a one hand, you know, excursion into food. So you can snag one solo or you can go big with the combo, which is two wraps, fries and a drink. It looks like you have two options. It looks like you have one fried option and one grilled option.

I believe that is the case, Steve, yeah. After nearly a decade of begging, posting, and even petitioning, snack rack superfans are finally getting their moment with this. I need a food I can eat while I'm driving. Try monkey bread. Monkey bread.

And then, only one other fast food story I saw worth passing along. Wendy's is famous for their Baconator burger. Yes. That features our Applewood smoked bacon strips. And several Instagrammers have spotted packaged Wendy's double smoked bacon at a grocery store in Kentucky. Now, it's not clear if it's the same exact bacon that's on the burger. But it claims that it's, quote, restaurant inspired and double smoked bacon.

And that it appears that it's now a grocery item available for purchase. I thought I heard the other day on this very station, a Wendy's commercial, pitching the Baconator. You did. I heard it too. And I thought that was like nostalgically cool. Yeah, I thought so too. Because the Baconator is one of the landmark sandwiches. Yep.

The new bacon has garnered tons of comments with one skeptic saying, I don't understand the point. If it's not the same bacon, why would Wendy's put it out there in the grocery world? And if it is, why peddle the bacon without the burger? Another said, the name will sell the product basically. Restaurant inspired is just a gimmick product and it isn't what

they actually use. But other posters have positive comments and were willing to give the bacon a shot. Wendy's has previously offered burger patties and cans of chili in grocery stores so that Wendy's bacon could be here to stay. So we'll see. Keep an eye out. I normally don't do bacon burgers because I feel like the bacon is trying to be the star of the show. And the burger is fine by itself. But there was a gentleman, I don't know if you guys met this guy the other day, the dude from More Meats. He was telling, because I prefer when I'm making my burgers at home, it's

If I could find a 70-30, I would do that. But he recommended getting some bacon while it's still raw. Yeah. Oh. Puree it up. Yeah. And then you insert that and you mix that up with the ground beef. He's a wise man. Yeah. Yeah, that's what Robert Irvine told us years ago. Yeah. Not only do that, he said take a hot dog.

And a slice of bacon and put it in a food processor. Yeah. And then you fold that into the burger meat and it's going to give you a richer flavor. I did it. It tastes great. Okay. So you can do that with bacon. Absolutely. And it adds that, it gets that pork fat in there. Yeah. Which is very, very flavorful. That was that guy, Jake Moore from the Wagyu Beef Place. Yes. You know what he could do is a meat spa. He could do a meat spa. Yeah. That's a good idea. Maybe work with Joseph Anthony. All right.

I'm wondering if we'll get anybody who knows what this movie is from or not. So far, no.

I've been told. Maybe we might. No, no. He just went like this. Oh. He went thumbs down. That was the gladiator move. With a thumbs down. So I'll play the... This one might be too hard. Why don't you give the answer and then wait for someone to call in? Why don't we do a different clip? Marissa, where do you look? I guarantee that 80% of the audience has seen this movie. Okay. I haven't seen it. Shut up. I've never seen it. Can we give a clue? They at least...

Pamela Anderson. There you go. There you go. All right. I'll play this one more time. Let's see if you know. A gesture. Donuts. All right. I'm going to write down an answer. I'd say hardly anyone has seen this movie. All right. I'm going to say, and then you tell me, Preston, one second. Is it this?

Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Not a lot of people have seen it. I know. I know. But it's all good. Marissa finds these clips and usually somebody knows, but this is a tough one. Well, you think of all those movies in the Pam Anderson library, you'll probably end up with it. Yeah. We're also running low on movies, guys. Yes.

He's been doing this for like a year. Five clips. We've been doing it for more than a year. Yeah, it's a lot of clips. No, I know, definitely. My brother had the poster on his wall. Maybe I just thought everyone had seen it. Maybe everyone just had the posters. The thing that I realized why I thought this might be sustainable is in any movie you ever watch, at some point, somebody says something about food.

or food or drink in almost any film, even if it's as simple as water or whatever. So I think we still mine some movies. There's a lot. I'm sorry to cut you off, Nick. There's a lot. There's just sometimes a clip when you think something is mentioned, when you isolate it, it's kind of like mumbled or quiet. Or it's not indicative of the movie, right? Yeah. Have I stalled long enough? Is it this movie?

Yeah, it is. Okay, yeah. I wish I hadn't seen this movie. You saw it? I've seen it, yeah. It was fairly terrible. Yeah, it looked pretty bad. There's a diner scene in The Last Temptation of Christ. A diner scene? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

I don't know. Do I have the open face? That was the last temptation. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, we'll see if someone knows, but Sam is still going through. Yeah, actually. All right. We're going to go to Sam. Not Sam in the other room. Sam on the phone. Hi, Sam. Or no, it's Scott. Hey, Scott. Good morning, Scott. I just dropped my son Sam off at school. That's perfect. Oh, perfect. There you go. All right, Scott. Tell everybody the movie.

That was barbed wire. Exactly. You got it. Hang on a second. And we'll get you in phone. We'll give you that $50 Acme Markets gift card. Acme's Flash Grocery Delivery Pickup gets you fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. All right, let's tee up another clip. This has to do with donuts. Let's see if you can get this one. Now, if you'll just sign here, flattery will not distract Mr. and Vlad's agent from reading the fine print. Huh, agent? Yeah.

Tracy, eat your donuts. Let's talk. All right. 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know. Order up. All right.

But this is kind of interesting. I'm thinking about adding another section. Oh, wow. We already have the food hacks. We have the fast food roundup. We have now the local compilation. But I only have one story today, but there's almost weekly multiple ice cream stories. Yeah. This is just one today, but maybe eventually down the road I'll do it. So Carvel is serving up summer in the sweetest way, literally, from a soft serve dispensing billboard.

In New York City's West Village. The billboard is actually dispensing soft serve ice cream? Yep. On June 18th, swing by 137 Perry Street for free vanilla soft serve sprinkles and giveaways. It's right near the meat spot. Plus the first 50 people in line to flash their Fudgy Fanatics loyalty program email will get some exclusive swag. Ice cream!

As well. That will be the intro to the ice cream segment, by the way. Ice cream! Ice cream!

Even if you can't make it to Manhattan, Carvel has you covered nationwide with BOGO Sundays every Wednesday all summer long. I'm really bummed that there aren't any Carvel stores anymore. There used to be one in Wynwood. And the reason I'm bummed... Listen, I know you can still get ice cream cakes, but if you went to the Carvel store, you could get extra cookie crisp. And they have the vanilla ones. You can't find them anywhere. One of my...

formative memories growing up was walking with my grandmother during the summer when she would come and stay and we would walk to Carvel's. She was a huge Carvel's fan. Love Carvel's. Yeah. And they were all, growing up in Long Island, they were all over the place. Yeah. Great memories. Great memories. Yeah. Love it. All right. We'll see if you know. By the way, this is not the grandmother who's not. I was going to ask.

Not the grandmother of the what? Whose knockers I saw in Flagler Beach. So you were able to focus on the ice cream. I was able to digest better. Here's that clip again. Now, if you'll just sign here, flattery will not distract Mr. and Blad's agent from reading the fine print. Agent? Tracy, eat your donuts. Let's talk. All right, we have Rob who is going to take a shot at it. Rob, morning.

Good morning. How are you guys? Awesome, Rob. All right. Name that movie, buddy.

That is John Travolta in Hairspray. That's correct. Yeah! Yep, yep. Hang on, bud. We are going to give you the $50 Acme Markets grocery delivery, or they give you the Acme Markets gift card, but flash grocery delivery or pick up, get your fresh groceries in 30 minutes or less. All right, we have one more clip to play, and then that will be it. This is our last donut clip. Let's see if you know what movie this is from. See, I don't need to be hearing about no dead cameraman, all right?

Now, I'm warning you guys, I am a verb away from vacating these premises. I'm going to go get me some coffee, donuts, Prozac, see if I can find some crack, special KX, not Malcolm. And I'll be back when you guys start talking about something a little more saved by the bellish, all right? All right, 610-660-9333. Let's see if you know. One more story. Let's do that. Let's do that.

All right, last one. Hooters just pulled the plug on about 30 of its company-owned locations across the U.S. following its quiet Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing earlier this year. Declaring bankruptcy. While the closures came as a surprise, they're part of a bigger shift to focus solely on a franchise model as the chain works to stabilize its finances.

Fans in states like Florida, Texas, and Georgia are mourning the loss of their local wings and beer spots with no warning and no full list provided either. So the food is much maligned. I happen to think that their wings were always pretty good. I like them. I'm not a big wings guy to begin with, so they work for me. The question is, is the draw, the conceit of the Hooters waitresses or servers, is that enough to offset...

you know, the food that may not be up to everyone's standard. I don't know. Because they've been around forever and I'm wondering why they're getting particularly hit. And maybe they've just aged out of it. You know, maybe it's just one of those things where like it was trendy and then the trend has faded. I think that's it. You know, Steve, we went there a lot. There was one in King of Prussia that's moved. It's closer to like we're...

The REI is now... Right, right. Anyway, they had trivia night. Like every Wednesday night or whatever. And so my friends and I, when we were in our early 20s, were bored. We went to Hooters, looked at the girls, played trivia, had some beers, and it was a fun night out. I've aged away from that. Will young guys in their 20s now...

towards it? I don't know. But the bill is, I mean, when you see outside, the family fun place to eat. Which is just... Really? Yeah, I mean, that's just, you're being deceptive at that point. Are there tilted kilts? There was. I don't know if they're still around. There's definitely not any around here. I don't know if they exist anywhere in the nation anymore or not. Yeah.

What about crotch shot? That it is not going anywhere, but it's just tightening its belt and rebooting for the future. So that's what they're saying. Nick, Tilted Kilt, any? There's, wow, there's only six locations left. Okay.

Okay. Wow. So I think that style of restaurant is kind of come and gone. It happens, you know. But we'll see. They said they're hanging on. All right. Let's see if somebody knows what movie this food clip is from. See, I don't need to be hearing about no dead cameraman. All right. Now, I'm warning you guys. I am a verb away from vacating these premises. I'm going to get me some coffee, donuts, Prozac, see if I can find some crack.

Special KX, not Malcolm. And I'll be back when you guys start talking about something a little more saved by the Bellish. All right? All right, we're going to go to Jason. See if he knows the answer. Hi, Jason. Morning. Hey, morning. Scream 3? Scream 3 is correct. You got it, buddy. Hang on. And you got yourself.

Help!

That band is called Froggy. Now, WMMR presents Kristen and Steve's Bizarre Final. You really need to tune in to our YouTube channel when that song plays because our community goes crazy with Froggy Love. Wasn't it just the anniversary of Froggy as a band? Yes. Because I follow them on Instagram. They posted that on social media. Absolutely. All right. We...

are going to get into the B-Files Party by United Tire and Service. Get ready for summer travel. Buy two tires and get $50 off of an additional service. Don't drive alone. Drive United. UnitedTire.com. So, out of Dearborn, Michigan, police seized a rented Lamborghini after shots were fired from the luxury sports car during a wedding celebration on Sunday. It was totally like that, Steve. Uh,

The celebration included several cars. During the festivities, dash cam footage caught someone firing shots from the passenger side of the purple Lamborghini Huracan. This prompted the police department to investigate, and the wedding celebration was traced to a banquet hall. Is that their sort of SUV-looking vehicle? No, no, it's a regular. It's a regular Lamborghini? Yep. So the rented Lamborghini was seized. Rented.

And after police received an anonymous tip, a suspect was arrested. Police say that the suspect faces charges for reckless discharge of a firearm. You routinely bring a gun to a wedding? Of course. Yeah. You never know. Pop off a few rounds. All right. As acts of protest go, this is a new one. During a Mecklenburg County Commission meeting in North Carolina on Tuesday, someone let bugs loose in the room.

The forceful infestation caused a brief disruption in the meeting, as one can imagine, and county leaders said that the person was quickly removed from the building after releasing the incense. You know what it doesn't say. Cockroaches or bees? Probably. So no one was hurt, and the meeting continued after the situation was handled. Officials didn't say what kind of bugs were released or why the person did it. Like if it was inchworms, it would be less impressive. There's no word on if any charges will be filed, and it's not clear if it's illegal to...

to release bugs during a meeting? That's a good question, yeah. All right, Jonathan Marlowe last week teed off with friends at the Splinter City Disc Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He said, I was just here to play disc golf. And on hole 11, he looked up and he saw an osprey carrying something in its claws, and that's when things got a little bit weird.

He said it's not uncommon to see an osprey carrying something, but you take note because it's still really cool to see. And as he watched, two crows suddenly showed up and started pursuing the osprey. And within seconds, the three birds took their tussle into a nearby tree. And that's when the osprey lost its lunch and something crashed to the ground, Marlow says. He said, I thought it would be a random fish. Well, technically, he was right. It was a small, dead, hammerhead shark.

Wow. That laid on the ground. And it is not common for ospreys to catch sharks. However, the water-loving raptors are expert and opportunistic anglers. They dive from as high as 100 feet at speeds of up to 50 miles an hour, plunging feet first with their extra curved talons to grasp and retain whatever slippery prey that they spotted from above. That's pretty cool.

And in this case, the osprey didn't get to eat its prize. Mobbing behavior from crows isn't unusual, especially in the springtime when the smaller birds team up for safety to chase potential predators away from their nesting sites or food sources. And it's not unusual. It is unusual for disc golfers to encounter wildlife on the courses, which are often located in natural areas. But this sighting was one for the books.

After the encounter, the friends left the hammerhead shark under the tree in case the Osprey came back for it. But later, when Marlo posted photos of the incident on Facebook, another disc golfer commented that he found the shark under the tree. He said they were standing there in shock with no frame of reference for what could have possibly happened. It's a tree shark. But then they saw the post and said, thank goodness, because...

How do you explain a random hammerhead in the woods? So, pretty wild. Claire and I were hiking in John Hein, the park. It's wonderful. And they have a nesting osprey there. Oh, that's cool. It's just unbelievable. They're cool birds. A woman's practice of nasal irrigation led to her death.

Oh, man. There we go. This is why I say it all the time. And I do the Neomid sinus rinse three to four times a day. But you have to use distilled water. Dude, if you don't, you...

burn the hell out of your sinuses. I made that mistake one time. I'm like, what's the difference? And I used tap water. It was like I shoved gasoline up my nose. Federal and local health officials in Texas detailed the unusual death. A 71-year-old woman developed neurological symptoms days after using the nasal irrigation device and died only a week later. These infections, while rare, can be prevented through practical safety measures such as using only sterilized water for nasal irrigation.

N-flowery is a shape-shifting amoeba that lives in soil and warm freshwater, typically feeds on bacteria and isn't dangerous to humans when it's simply ingested. But when the amoeba enters our body through the nose, it can end up in the brain. And once there, it will literally feast on brain cells and trigger massive inflammation, causing a severe brain infection known as primary amoebic osteoporosis.

Menin geoencephalitis, or PAM. The previously healthy woman sought medical care with fever, headache, and altered mental status. And for days earlier, she had irrigated her nose with tap water from an RV's water system at a campground in Texas. She fell with seizures and died eight days after her symptoms began.

The bizarre nature of her death then prompted an investigation. That's horrible, man. You know when we go down to a spring training, first thing I do is grab a distilled bottle of water from someplace. Yep, that's true. All right, and there you go. We're going to have to wrap up. That is what I have in the Bizarre File for you this morning. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll come back in just a second, a little bit later on this morning. We're going to have Corey B. stopping in, Helium Comedy Club. Hang out. We'll be back in a moment. We'll be right back.

Now, back with more of the Preston and Steve Show podcast. All right, thank you very much, Marissa. Casey and I are headed to a different beach today. We're going to Maury's Piers. Nice. We're headed to Wildwood. Love that place. Yeah, we're going to be cutting a commercial for the season. Hey!

And I want to remind you that we have our big friggin' deal and it is winding down. In fact, wow, I think they're projected to sell out today, maybe. We'll see. If you haven't gotten them yet, I highly, highly, highly recommend you go and get the

The same day ride and water park combo tickets to Maury's Piers for just $70. You save $50 per ticket for unlimited rides on three piers, both water parks, the whole day. That's a lot. If you do a four-pack of these, which is a standard family-size package to buy, you end up saving $200. So even if there's like a remote shot...

that you're going to head down there this summer, go ahead and buy these. That'll give you a reason to go there, actually. And you'll end up saving a lot and have a great time. Morris is awesome. And we will be there today. So we're looking forward to that. I wanted to pass that along. All right, before we head into the weekend, I have to clean out my junk drawer. And we're going to do that very next week.

Finding stuff here in the junk drawer.

At Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, he said they are spearheading the research for both a treatment and a possible cure for Mitchell syndrome. He said my son was diagnosed with this extremely rare genetic disease in 2021 and was the ninth known case worldwide. There have been a lot of ups and downs in the past four plus years, like my son going deaf.

having to breathe with a trach and being hospitalized for six months. He said, but the past year, Cole's been doing great. He is getting stronger every day. And his teachers at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf have nothing but good things to say about his progress as a student. And he said, this brings me to the reason for my email. I was hoping that you could help me with a butt plug for an event on June 14th

In Philadelphia, it's called the Million Dollar Bike Ride. And this brings over 600 cyclists and volunteers to Penn's campus to raise awareness and funds specifically for rare diseases. Yeah. You see, when I heard about this event in our own backyard, I knew that we needed to do something for the Mitchell and Friends Foundation, which has given us so much. Our team, the Mitchell and Friends Foundation, Cole's crew...

is writing on behalf of the scientists who are working to understand the disease better and working to find a treatment for Mitchell syndrome. So I'm attaching a link that goes directly to my page for the ride along with some other information about his story. So Nick has this information and we have that posted, right? Yeah, it's on the community page of PresidentSteve.com and it's on Saturday, June 14th.

These rare diseases don't get the funding a lot of times. They really have to fight an uphill battle. It's true. A lot of times they are life-threatening and just terrible. We want to pass that information along. That was the butt plug I wanted to get out there. Now let me go to the junk drawer. This first piece of junk I found is an email and it has an audio component to it. I got this from Ryan Gaffney and

And he said, I've been holding on to this idea for over a decade, and I thought it could be something silly to give to Casey and discuss on air. They wanted us to wait until his birthday to do this, which is July 4th, but we're going to do it now. He said, like so many, I turned to you guys for laughs. I may be a bit more meticulous than your typical listener, though. When there's something I hear on the podcast that makes me crack up,

I make note of the podcast date and time. I have a boatload of isolated audio going back to the days of Regis and the Taxi Cab Confessions, for example. I remember that. That I keep handy when I need some laughs to pass the time. And I started to notice a subgroup in

And some of the clips. He says, And he says,

Casey is the champion of this category. So for his birthday, and I apologize, Ryan, that we're doing this ahead of time. He said, I'm finally sharing some of these clips with all of you. You'll see the pattern immediately. Hopefully, you will relive these little moments as well as the sheer amount of them will be as fun as it is for me over the years. And Ryan says, please share this with Kathy. Some of the best moments are when she's laughing in these clips. So...

The reason we're going to do this now is today was the last day of the coolest teacher. We had Leslie Kaiser of Washington Township High School, French teacher. She was our final winner of the year. And a lot of these mistakes, we decided to focus on that. So Ryan compiled a ton of stuff. I mean, like hours worth of stuff.

Marissa has narrowed this down to a couple of minutes, and these are all from the coolest teacher. I know this is going to be... And it's all... Is it all the same mistake every time? I think so. Marissa, is it? Yeah. And... No, I don't want to hear in your defense. I don't want to say in my defense, but in somebody's defense...

I have to go through. I don't want an explanation. We'll get to it after. We'll get to it after. So this is, these are us making the announcement of the coolest t-shirt. And I mean, it goes on and on and on. Here we go. So here's what we do. We have somebody reach in and draw.

The first school, should I begin? It's you in front of me. You're the president. Oh, God, I do that every time. So you heard the burp, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's what we have. That's it. Why? Why? Because it was on the wrong page. We should have a burp roll just to have a backup. We have an announcement to make. We have a winner of Presidency School's Teacher from yesterday. Burp.

And what was that for? It was not for anything. It was for that. The school that we chose yesterday was Quitted Mercy. We now have a name and a prize to... I did it again. Sorry, man. I will want that belt every day now. We got to find out who our coolest teacher is.

Seriously? Mark one on the board. That was the first mistake. What was that meant to be? It was meant to be this. I forgot to switch the sound back. That's more impressive than the burp. Drum roll, please. All right. What was that? We're ready to announce our winner, so let's do that very thing. Had a little gas, so let's get rid of that first. And I'm feeling very strong this morning.

The next announcement is happening right now. So, Casey, give me a drumroll, please. Never mind. And we have a winner. Yeah! God, I hate when I do that. Drumroll, burp, it's the same button.

What just happened? He's on the wrong page. It happens probably like three or four times a year. We are happy to announce that they... Cheese and crackers. Cheese and crackers. Absolutely. Nailing, hailing. Yeah. Jesus Christ.

H-E double hockey sticks. I have kids and I don't. Sometimes this spills over to these airwaves. Yes, it does. We have an announcement to make concerning our coolest teacher. It should just be the default button.

It's so good. Oh my God. I got funnier as it went on. I love it. Oh my God. Like every time. I like how it was confusing to us every time. How did we not get used to the fact that it's the same mistake, you know, and it's an easy mistake to make, Casey, so I understand why and how it happens, but it just didn't dawn on us that the burp page is near the drum roll page for 15 years or whatever. I suggested a number of times just make it part of the intro. Yeah. Burp into the drum roll. I have.

dozens of pages of sound effects and a lot of them are on what we call hot keys and those are all labeled and you can see exactly what you're hitting the drum roll and the burp are on a completely different machine called an instant replay and they are not labeled there are only numbers so I have to make sure that I'm on the right bank of sounds so the drum roll is bank six

number 15. Right. So the burp is bank one, number 15. Right. And so sometimes I forget to switch the banks because we have this cacophony of sounds and the very first cacophonous sound effects is bank four. Then when we do the sports intro, it's bank one. And then I always forget to take it and put it to bank six after the sports intro.

So you know what? I do have, and I bought because I have two instant replays on my side of the board. And a lot of times the stuff gets spilled on the templates. I got to replace them out. I have two full packs of templates if you want to have...

Casey's not going to have room for the templates over here. That's the only thing. On the instant replay? Yeah, I need to lay around here. He's got so much stuff on this side of the board. And on that machine, there's only some sounds that I use, and I know what numbers they are. And you use the search feature. And I use the search feature. That was so funny. Well, listen, Ryan, the guy who put it together, is on the phone. So let me go to him. Hey, Ryan. Morning, man.

In Casey's defense, none of this happened day after day. When you put it all together like that, it's...

Yeah, it sounds pretty predictable. Sometimes, like, weeks, months apart, it would just happen. And, you know, you can hear just a second of dead air. It's just hilarious, your guys' reaction to it. Well, it happened enough that it became an ongoing joke for us. And so just to hear it put together that concisely is hilarious. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, definitely went and noticed. Oh, yeah, I remember taking notes of this when it would happen when I was in college. And then when I was listening in at work, I would maybe take screenshots on my phone as the technology got better because I was listening on an iPod. Oh, my God. How old are you now, Ryan, that was in college? How old are you now? 36. Oh, my God. All those years of screwing up. We've been doing this forever. Yeah.

And we still haven't gotten it right. That was the best part of the show. I love it. I love it, man. Thank you for doing all that work, Ryan. It is so much fun. And I apologize that we didn't save it for his birthday, but we thought at the end of it, the coolest teacher would be a great spot to put that in. And sure enough. It's very cool that you guys are even talking about it. And yeah, I'll probably get around to putting up a whole bunch of other stuff and sending it your way too. No, we love it. Yeah. And if you have a site you want to put it on or whatever, let us know. We'll definitely promote it.

Yeah, sure thing. Thanks, guys. It's so funny because sure enough, first day of coolest teacher this year, I hit the burp again. You did, yes. Like every single time. It was great. Yeah. Ryan, thanks so much, buddy. Have a good weekend, okay? Yeah, you too, guys. Have a good one. All right, see ya. All right, we appreciate that. I loved it. All right, so from Ryan to you. That was great. Early happy birthday, bud. Not right now. No, not right now. All right, let me go back into the junk drawer. All right. All right.

All right, here's a cool story I came across. The Pope, Pope Leo, was seen wearing a Villanova baseball cap at the Vatican. It was part of a meeting between him and the National Italian American Foundation on Wednesday. The Italian heritage group, I mean, he just wasn't walking around the Vatican with it on.

Yeah, he went to Villanova. Yeah, hosting ceremonies. I just do the default accent. He doesn't have that accent. He's American. I know he's American. Dude, I don't ever want you to change the Pope accent. It was the same when we went from Benedict to... It didn't change, yeah. No, it stays the same. The guy has the warmest smile. There's a picture of him, you know, in the video of him wearing the Villanova hat and...

It looks great. It's so cool to have a Pope wearing a freaking Villanova hat. So the Italian Heritage Group gifted Pope Leo the hat, and he quickly swapped it out from his traditional Zucchetto, which is the official name of the holy skull caps that he wears. Holy skull caps! Batman. At the Pope's meeting on Wednesday. Holy skull caps!

At the Pope's meeting Wednesday with one of the largest associations representing Italian Americans in the United States, he grinned as the group's president gave him the white cap with the blue embroidered signature V. He wore it briefly before switching back to the white Zucchetto. He did take the opportunity to make Jay Wright a saint, though.

A closer inspection suggests that it's a version of the 47 brand adjustable cap, which retails on the university's website for 16 bucks. The website listed version of the cap has a small brand logo stitched in the back.

While the Pope's version has the same logo in the corner, but stitched in white. What is a bigger feather in the cap for Delco? The Pope being, I don't want to say from Delco, but having spent a decent amount of time with Delco. Certainly, yes. He has an attachment, a connection to Delco. Or there is a priest who is on the verge of being canonized as a saint from Delco.

Well, the Pope, I think, for the immediacy of people. Yeah. If you're of the religion, the saint would carry, you know. Yeah. You know, I'm Roman Catholic, so, you know. But worldwide, I mean, you know, everybody knows who the Pope is, even if you're not Catholic. Right. And you might not know who the saint is if you're not Catholic. And then by default, everyone knows Villanova now. Right. Exactly. And by the way, speaking of Villanova, do you have a little...

A little rumor that you heard, Nick? I heard a rumor. I didn't invent this rumor, but we are friendly with Jay Wright. I talked to Jay from time to time, and Jay, I think, in a really wise move, stepped away from Villanova basketball. The sport of college basketball has changed a lot over the last few years, and I think he saw the writing on the wall, and he got out.

Jay is doing just fine. He's got a TV gig that he's great at. He's friends with the Pope. Steve, I literally just texted him when we brought this up and I said, it's pretty cool that you're friends with the Pope. So you and I are thinking the same way. Anyway, the NYX, the New York NYX fired their head coach the other day. The NYX made it to the Eastern Conference Finals

So this guy, Tom Thibodeau, is a really good coach and sort of helped turn the Knicks franchise around. A lot of people who are Knicks fans were surprised by it, but it happened. And the owner of the Knicks is a bit of a control freak. And so they let this guy go. And the rumor is that Jay Wright, who has been out of basketball since he stepped away from Villanova,

would be in consideration for the head coaching job at New York, in New York, at the Garden. And part of the reason why is that there are three players on the New York Knicks that Jay coached. Jalen Brunson, Mikael Bridges, and Josh Hart. And he helped lead all of those guys to national championships. They won two national championships under Jay in 2016 and 2018. So, look, it's probably far-fetched. And if I were Jay, I don't think he'll do it. But...

Everybody has a price, and maybe he wants to be reinvigorated. And I talked to my mom about it the other night. My mom said... She's not up for it, is she? No, but my mom got her master's from Villanova, and so she's a huge Villanova fan. And she says that basketball's in his blood. And I don't think that she's wrong. So, who knows? I hope this doesn't happen. I would hate to hate Jay Wright. Oh, and that's the bottom line, is if he does that, if he...

He switches allegiances and he would expect you to. He's from this area. No, no. He is from this area. He is not allowed. He was not drafted by the Knicks. I think it'd be great. Listen, I agree. When push came...

to shove. You'd have to stand by the Sixers. But for Jay, who we know and love, if it were a great opportunity for him, I'd be very, very happy for him. I mean, it's quite something. You're literally, you know, all eyes are on you. And it's that much more than the college realm. I mean, holy hell. Yeah, so. We'll see if any of that comes to fruition or not. But we wanted to pass that along. All right, back in the jungle.

All right, here was a scary little thing that happened, and Steve sent me this story. Mike Jarek, our good close personal friend, brought a dermatologist, Dr. Joanna Walker, on air before the pair discovered a likely cancerous spot on his elbow, like live on the air. Yeah, yeah. Walker, who works at the Tara Miller Melanoma Center at the University of Pennsylvania, told Jarek that his spot...

has all the features pointing to skin cancer. So as she's looking at it, she says, so this is basal skin cell cancer. That has all the features of the most common type of skin cancer. And of course, Mike's like,

Yeah. So she reassured him that it was very treatable as it's one of the more slow growing types of skin cancer. She told the host that he would need to have the spot removed, to which he asked, what are you going to do? You're going to burn it off? And she said, this one probably needs to be cut and stitched.

And he was like, all right, stitch me up. So this is, she said, this is one, this one is very slow growing type of skin cancer. It's not going to spread to anywhere else on your body. So it's the type where if you get it taken care of, you're fine. You're going to be okay. And Nick, you have a history, right? Oh yeah. I have to get checked at least once a year. My dad has had several bouts with skin cancer over the years. You get it removed, you know, 99% of the time, if you get out in front of it, you're going to be okay. But it's important to get checked.

Yeah, that's the thing. You have to keep getting inspected and find those things and stop them before they can get bigger than they should be. If and when you find a good dermatologist, and I recommend that you do, here's a little trick that I learned. When you go to a dermatologist, if you have an appointment in 2025 and then you leave that appointment, make your appointment for 2026 as you're leaving. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, yes. Because in order to get into the dermatologist...

It is such a long wait. And I love Penn Medicine. That's where I go to get my medical care. But man, you just wait forever for one of those appointments to open up. Casey and I have the same dermo, Dr. Jamie Altman, which is out in media. And so every, yes, I do a yearly inspect. And also, here's another thing about going to a dermatologist. Just get ready to have everything.

every bit of your body looked at. Full on naked. They're going to take a peek at absolutely everything. But there's a lot going on there, man. It's the biggest organ of your body. Absolutely. You need to do that. A dermatologist is so important. My dad wasn't seeing a dermatologist. I'm like...

Dad! What are you doing, man? You gotta go to the dermatologist. Really quickly, you mentioned that this doctor worked for the Tara Miller within Penn Medicine. Yes. The Miller family is actually very good friends with my group of friends. And every year we go to this event called the Tara Miller...

Tara Miller Make the Best of It Bash. It is one of the best charity events of the year. 100% of the proceeds from the event go towards melanoma research. They're a very generous family and it's happening Friday, June 27th at the Golden Nugget. They have

All of the best, like, shore type of prizes and fundraisers and events and really, really great stuff. If anyone can make it, Friday, June 27th, 7 p.m., Golden Nugget. And then all money goes to Tara Miller, Melanoma Research. I think I made my appointments coming up on September 11th. There you go. Nice work. By the way, so Mike had said on the show something along the lines of, I should have had this done a long time ago. Mike, Jarek.

Get to your dermatologist. And he's going to actually, he's having the spot removed today. Well, good. Yeah, Dr. Mike is his doctor. But you need, but yeah, you got to go to the specialist as well. Dr. Mike can do tons of things, but there are things that specialists have to take a peek at. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of cancer with an estimated 3.6 million cases in the U.S.,

And the cases can look differently on a case-for-case basis, but typically appear as an open sore, red patches, pink growths, shiny bumps, scars, or growths with elevated rolled edges. So make sure you get to your dermo. All right, let me go back in. Cha-cha.

All right, here's something I saw on Pinterest, and they have just come out with their summer trend report, highlighting what's popular now with their users from home decor to fashion to summer escapes fashion.

These are the trends that will be taking over the season ahead according to Pinterest. All right, let's hear it. And I do like Pinterest. I will check it out from time to time. Do you have a Pinterest page? No, a page? Yeah, like Preston's Picks kind of a thing? I used to. I haven't been on it actually in a while. You know what? Hang on a second. Let me double back. I was thinking of Etsy, not Pinterest. Okay. Oh.

But I used to go on Pinterest and yeah, I found like some recipes and things like that. They were pretty cool. So you can cultivate your own type of stuff that you like and have, you know, it's a different version of a social media. Okay. So here are the things. Like choke porn. Here are the things that are going to, like choke porn. Come on, man. That's not where I was going, but sure. I like, let's put a pin in that. Here are the things that are going to be taking over this season. Rustic art.

Farmhouse. Rustic farmhouse. Yeah, get a nice big old sink. Yeah. Big old sink. Rub your sack along the edge. Big old sink? Yeah, big farmhouse. So we're getting our kitchen redone and we're getting a farmhouse because it's an 1880 household house and we're getting that farmhouse kind of sink. You get a big old sink? Big old goddamn sink. Yeah.

So, rustic aesthetics and farmhouse cottage interiors are becoming more popular with searches for farm cottage aesthetics soaring 910% on the site and farmhouse cottage interior searches up 370%. Thrifted home decor is also very trendy. Oh, man. Searches for it have increased 488%. My wife is a thrifting fiend and it's become a...

activity. One that you savor or one that you... Sounds like you love it. I don't go. I love being at home. Actually, yes. I do love it. It gives me some alone time in the house, which I enjoy very much. Here's what I'll say about it. She's really good at it. For her, it's like a treasure hunt.

She goes out and she finds this stuff and she doesn't get stuff that she doesn't need or whatever. And man, when you thrift and you find something that's worth a lot of money and you pay four bucks for it, there's a thrill in that. So I understand the appeal. It's not for me, but if you're into it, go for it. Chuck's wife is a big time thrifter and she will also repurpose stuff and she's so good at it. Does she sell stuff? No.

Um, yeah, because she does like, uh, um, uh, leave it to Leanne. She's got like a little, um, well that's on her Instagram. Uh, leave it to Leanne. But like, you know, a few years ago she got a cricket machine and that just kind of like took off. She makes crickets. She does. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool. Um, no, but, uh, yeah, so she has like a cool little like homemade stuff that she, you know,

she makes. Yeah, she's made some stuff for us, which is really cool. Yeah, but she also will get like old furniture and repurpose it and paint it. I love that. You know, when people do that and it's a hobby and productive at the same time. So here's another thing that's going to be hot according to Pinterest this season. A digital detox summer. People are ready to ditch their screens and embrace nature this summer.

searches for digital detox ideas are up 72% and those, excuse me, for digital detox version or vision boards have increased, hold on, by 273%. I see this trend catching on more and more. You've reported about it in your own family.

turning away from the screens. I think organically people realize how often your mood can be worsened by going on and just sort of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. It can do both. It can do both. There are moments where I'm like, I'm really glad I saw that. Yeah, I love choke point. And then it...

And in a whiplash moment, it can go south the other way. Like right after I was feeling really good. And that's it. You know? And you realize that if you just generate those emotions in real... And listen, I have my moments. I posted something that I saw yesterday, which was a newly adopted dog from a house and just loving a bed. And the owner was a beautiful video. But then two or three down, it's something that makes you go, oh, I did not need to see that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

By the way, what's a vision board? It's sort of where you put the things that you envision or want to achieve. You write them down? It can be pictures. You can cut things out of magazines.

Uh, yeah. Yeah. So, and you use it as sort of a self-motivation, a visualization of things you would like to achieve, ways you would like to be. Okay. You know? Nick just pulled up an example of it. Okay. You got to check out Stevie Wonders. It's really amazing.

So interest in nature travel is on the rise, including searches for nature retreats up 72% and relaxing in nature up 32%. Users are also searching book retreats.

Up 103%. And book club retreat ideas at 265%. You know what's up 81%? The meat spa. A lot of people checking into that. That's a great trend. Another trend is urban farming and garden to table cooking. The problem is getting the tractor up in your building. All right. So Pinterest users are taking inspiration from an expert in these areas. Martha Stewart with searches for Martha Stewart aesthetic skyrocketing. Listen to this.

2,889%. Harvest recipes searches are up 680%. Urban farming is up 374%. And searches for Martha Stewart vegetable garden have increased by 72%. What were you going to say? Are you getting into the gardening realm now? Yeah, I'm really starting to love it. I'm not... Do you like creating or...

fostering life. Yes. Yeah. I do like that. And, uh, and I like using, uh, what we're growing, uh, a lot of herbs. We have, they're really taken off and I'm so happy about it, but it's once you get into the rhythm, it's pretty simple. Yeah. Um, and, uh, and yeah, we've got, uh, tomatoes, eggplant, uh, some jalapeno peppers, and then the rest are all herbs. So I've got like, you know, uh, chives and rosemary, thyme, uh, parsley, um, mint, lots of mint, uh,

That's for cocktails. And sage. So we're digging it. You have parsley, sage, rosemary. I have all of those. Thank you very much, Mr. Simon. Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Are basils coming in nicely, Preston? I have basil too, yes. Also can be applied to two drinks. Yes.

I was in the city yesterday. I was in Philly yesterday in South Philly with our buddy Nick Murphy, and there's an urban garden not too far from his house. And to me, as somebody who lives in the suburbs, to see an urban garden, there's something very zen-like in that. I'm like, what a nice little addition to an urban area where there's concrete jungle everywhere, and there's this green spot. It was a nice little oasis. Press, you mentioned sage. Where does the term sage advice come from?

Sage is more of a wise person. Yeah. Okay. And so there's two meanings. You have the herb and a sage is a knowledgeable teacher of sorts. Did you know that whoever coined the term, coined the term, coined the term, coined the term. Okay. So whoever coined the term, coined the term, coined the term. No, that's good. That's right. Yeah. You're absolutely correct. Porch to geese. Yeah.

Two more quick ones. Crafting ideas are way up. Craft. This summer. So, crackers and crafting. Boxes of crackers. While they're doing a digital detox, a lot of people plan to get crafty with searches for cute summer crafts. Oh.

Rising 106%. I want to participate in some cute summer crafts. Summer knitting projects. Knitting. Jumping 64%. And book club crafts are up 558%. I just bought a vajazzling kit. That's crafty. Yeah, that's crafty. Very crafty. Summer colors. Yeah. Yeah.

She's crafting, right? Yeah. I haven't heard this song in ages, man. It starts with Jeff? Yeah. I didn't realize that either. It's used throughout the song. Yeah. It's the main sample. They probably wouldn't have had to pay. They just had you going. Yeah, I could have done that. This is before sampling was not allowed, really. All right. Anyhow, so crafting ideas.

All right, and then the last thing... I know. Sorry, Ad-Rock. Last thing on this list is nostalgic fashion. Yes. The boho trend from the early 2000s is back in style. So that you dress like a ho? No, no, not that boho. Bohemian. Oh, I'm sorry. According to Pinterest users and searches for boho chic summer outfits. I'm wearing spats today. Have swords. So what would...

Marissa, help us out. You are now our fashion consultant. So for me, for a guy, do you have any idea what boho chic might be? Oh, I don't...

Male version of Boho Chic? Probably like 90s hippie-ish. I think it would start with, we call them drug rugs. Okay, all right. It was kind of like surfer style, loose, gouchy pants, and the colors. The colors are very neutral tones and earth tones. The picture of Johnny Depp came up, Preston. Yeah. Okay. But also this hat, right? We're looking at a picture almost like a fedora type of hat. Okay, yeah.

So it says here that crochet short dresses climbed 2030%. So Carter, my son, dresses very flamboyantly. And he had this full head-to-toe crochet outfit on. Did he make it? Really? No, no, he didn't make it. And I'm like, I go, dude, what are those pajamas you're wearing? What?

He's like, these aren't pajamas. You don't know boho, dad. It's like a crochet outfit. I'm like, it's really cool. Did you see Marissa's jacket yesterday? It was a crochet jacket. Really? The crochet jacket. It was either yesterday or two days ago. 24 hours ago. Yeah.

So crochet short dresses climbed 2,030%. What about crochet underwear? And searches for 2000 summer dress are up 4,000 or 483%. What is 2000 summer dress? Everything from the early 2000s is back. Okay. All right. Which would be what? Yeah. Like I'd have to see. Um.

Like a lot of the short skirts. It's like it's kind of the stuff that I wore in high school. It's short skirts. It's like think about Britney Spears when she first started or like Hilary Duff. Like baby doll stuff? Remember like the big belts and like the tank tops with the shrugs on top. Everything was kind of like laced and look like kind of a baby doll. Oh.

Yeah, Nick pulled up some photos. So I got post-course. Paris Hilton. Yeah. Those like red carpet styles. That's sexy stuff. I mean, it's a little more skimpy. So, yeah. OK. Hey, Marissa, when it comes back like this, do they immediately jack the prices on these types of items?

I mean like inflation. You mean like compared to... No, no. I just mean like if it becomes trendy again and you get it at a fashionable store or whatever, is it automatically much more expensive? It depends where you get it from. Well, it depends where you get it from. There's so many fast fashion places that offer it, but then there's also like really chic versions of it. It's always a little bit different than the original too. So if you try to wear the original, it doesn't always match what the exact style is. They get you at the drive-thru. Yeah, yeah.

All right, so those are some things, some trends to look forward to, according to Pinterest over the next year or so. Here we go. All right, we've got to close up the junk drawer. Let's do that right now. Here we go.

Man, you've worked in some good markets. Yeah, yeah. Which was most fun?

I had a lot, all my PDs were gay and they really thought I was cute so I jumped up real quick. Did you really? Yeah. They all thought they were going to touch my cheeks and I was like, no. I think it was the thrill of it. I jumped up quick. Social media kind of really helped that out. Yeah. New Orleans. And then that's when I got my first job offer in Chicago. Like the big one was Chicago and then I moved over to New York which was great. Okay, we were talking about Chicago the other day. It's,

I love that town. It's so much great food and really cool culture. The wintertime sucks. It does suck. It's the worst place. If you have an underground tunnel to walk to work, you shouldn't live there. Yeah. Real quick, Corey. I took my son on a bunch of college tours last year, and we went to Chicago. We visited Northwestern, which is an incredible campus. It's beautiful. But it was in the middle of the summer, and it was April.

perfect day. It was so nice out and he fell in love with it. I was like, buddy, it's a great school. If you go here, I'll be really happy. It's not like this year round. If you come here in February and you're right on Lake Michigan, it's going to be a lot colder. It's going to be cold, yeah. There's a Northwestern kid that delivered my son. Really? Yeah.

My fiance's a bit. That's great. Where are you from, by the way? Florida. Yeah. I try not to tell people that. You're a Florida man. Although, from Tampa, which they call it Tampa-delphia, because apparently a lot of people from Philly just go down there. Dude, we were down, we go down for the Philly spring training. And there are so many, it's little Philadelphia in that area. It's unbelievable. Oh, we just found out a little factoid this morning.

And they just made the announcement. So Pennsylvania is the home of Wawa, the convenience stores. As of today, there are more Wawas in Florida than there are in Pennsylvania. Look at that, dude. We're a little heartbroken by that. We're not loving it. Did you do an arena for the Tampa Bay...

You were an announcer, were you, for the Lightning? Well, I did some on-air, some in-game hosting. Oh, I see. Like three times. Yeah. Three times I did. There's a lot of conflicting information. Would stand-up present itself when you were in Chicago? No, stand-up, when I moved to New York City, I always wanted to do it. And then Chicago is when I had our son. I didn't have him. You never know nowadays. I could have.

But no, I didn't have enough time. I wanted to go to the second city out there, which was a really big comedy. Legendary. Exactly. Didn't have time, so when I moved to New York, all the open mics were right next to the radio station. So after the radio station, I would just go and do open mics. I fell in love with it. I've always loved comedy. A lot of people know you for your videos. I knew you before I knew you. The thing that

I knew you first when I saw your face. I'm like, this is the dude that does the food reactions. Absolutely, yeah. Which is huge. But reading about you and seeing some interviews, you tried to find your lane. Correct. And it's tough finding your lane. We've talked about this same topic

A number of people have come through and we're all kind of perpetually fascinated with it because what started as the wild, wild west in the beginning and again, COVID, your videos took off and all that stuff. And we've heard that story played out more and more. Some after COVID, you know, past found it harder. But you you got traction because you kept sort of reinventing yourself. Was there that eureka moment when you had that one video that said, OK, yeah,

This is what I can do and this is going to be an income source for me for quite a while. So, yeah, I mean, when I first started doing my relationship skits back in the day, it was probably like nine, ten years ago now, back when Vine was a thing. Right. I kind of had a video that popped off and I was like, oh, I'm going to stick with this niche. And I did that for a couple of years and it did really well. Then I got bored of that.

I was like, what can I do next? So me and my fiance were living in Chicago. We started doing vlogs and whatnot, hacks and pranks on each other. That blew up. So we did that for a year. Then the pandemic hit and I was like, wow, everyone's cooking. Everyone's doing videos. I wanted to react to a video and it was like someone dumping pizza sauce on the rug. I saw this. And they cleaned it up with shaving cream. I was like, there's no way that works. Let me try myself and let me react to it. That video got like 20 million views. And I was like, let me do it.

Again. Yeah. And now it's like I'm stuck. I have people call me from the Food Network. Like, you want you to do a show? I'm like, I'm not a chef. I just recreate things and say stupid things. Funny thing, though. What were your culinary capabilities prior to this? The George Foreman grill, dude. I like that.

I barely cleaned the tray. I don't know how to cook. But you present like you were on Tamron Hall, right? Yeah. And you're doing cooking segments. Yeah. I did Kelly and Mark and all these shows. They're bringing you out like you're Guy Fieri. Yeah. I was supposed to be on

Guy Fieri show, but I had shows last week. I couldn't do it. It's wild. Access Daily has me on with Mario Lopez, who's a friend of mine now, which is stupid to say. I don't know how I say that. It's wild. But it's like, we want you to come do a cooking segment. I'm like, so now I'm trying to lean even harder into the comedy. I'm not only a cooking guy. That's not me. And some people will watch it and be like, I hate this guy. He's so cringy. It's like, yeah, but that's the point. I'm not on here being serious. I'm not on here

This isn't like Dave Attell. I'm just joking around. Right. But you know that. It's funny, though. You get... Listen. So when your audience comes to see you... They have no clue. They have no clue, right? Yeah. So you have that whole other skill set. It's so great. Yeah. And so I remember years ago, the story... One of the classic stories, and Bob Saget used to recount, people were familiar with him from the sitcom, right? And Full House. Yeah.

And they didn't realize that at that time, Saget was one of the bluest comedians working. And just dirty. Dirty. Filthy. And I don't assume you get that kind of reaction. Similar. Similar? And they enjoy it, though. Luckily, I've had great crowds that love it.

But they're like, this is nothing we expected, but this is way better than we expected. I'm like, thank God. But I use that correlation all the time. Like, Bob Tackle's on Full House. He was the morning show guy in the news. But then you watch his comedy, you're like, what was that? He told one of the most profane versions of the aristocrat joke. If you watch the documentary, he's like the slam dunk. I remember.

remember, I was in Christian high school and my buddy, we went to his house and he was like, I want to show you something. And it was Bob Snack. I was like, oh, he does comedy. He's like, yeah. And he played it. I was like, what is life right now? What is this? You know, and you talk about the social media stuff and you found

And we were talking earlier, I was just complaining about Facebook and, you know, you don't go on it for a little while and the password's all screwed up and it's a nightmare. It is such a complex crock of crap. I don't go on Facebook at all because I can't stand it. I use it so I can use my headset and my, you know, all the peripheries.

I should say. But you found a way to really monetize and it worked to your benefit. Listen, man, if I didn't get paid to be on Facebook, I would never go. If I didn't get paid to be on social media, I wouldn't be on it. Well, I want to quote an article, the title of the article. And you know the one I'm talking about, New York Post had one. It was titled, Want to be a Social Media Influencer? Corey B says it's hard as F. And so, yeah, there's a lot of pain in the ass.

involved in what you do in that regard. Not only is thinking of things to do every day, new videos to do, it's also dealing with the crap. It's dealing with people. You're human. You go on there and you read things all the time. There'll be 10 great comments, but that one bad comment, it's just that's the one that really sears into your brain and you hate it and you want to track that person. You want to

You want to track them down? Do you think your radio years trained you? Because you have to always create content. For word economy and every day you have to come up with a new topic to talk about. Right. You have to engage listeners to call in and then talk. Yeah, absolutely. So we were having a meeting the other day and our program director sat down. And I'll preface this by saying I love John Mulaney. Yeah, yeah. And Mulaney was talking about his show that he's doing. And he was crazy.

kind of indicating how difficult it is to come up with one hour a week. Boom. And Chuck was like, you guys have been, so we've been podcasting for 20 years now, this program. And he's like, you guys come up with five hours every day, five days a week. You guys do five hours? That's not normal for morning podcasting.

Well, we steal the first hour of our legendary midday guy, Pierre Robert, who's legitimate, one of the classic legends in broadcasting. But he likes to sleep in a little bit, so he doesn't mind. Hell yeah, he doesn't mind. Of course, of course. If he's a legend, he's like, I'll take the hours. Corey, when it comes to creating content, you're not going to hit a home run every time. It's just the law of averages. Just be for yourself. Well, okay.

I barely bunt my way on the first. But your mindset has to be... I know that some of these are going to get more hits than others. And some of them are going to get more views than others. How do you balance that with the actual creation process? Because you know that sometimes...

It's just not going to land the way that... And I'm sure sometimes you come in and go, this is going to be terrific. I know people are going to respond to it. And then for whatever reason, which could be the algorithm or anything else, they just don't. How do you balance that? First of all, what I look at to do a video is its shareability.

Why would someone want to share this video? What are they going to get out of it? People are like, why don't you show the videos you do when the food tastes like crap? I'm like, who wants to watch that? You're not going to share that and be like, yo, let's cook this for dinner. You're going to be like, that's gross. I'm not going to ever watch that again. No, that's smart. I look at that. But if I post a video that I think is going to nail and it bombs, I'm like, pfft, algorithm.

It's because it's Wednesday on a bad quarter. It's got to suck, though, when there's something that you keep turning out so much. Let me ask you this. You work with your wife a tremendous amount. She's my fiancée. Yeah, your fiancée. Not yet, dude. Not yet. I don't want to rush the car for the horse. So does that create...

Working with the person that you are in love with and you're together a lot, does that create a work dynamic that can be a little dicey? No, I mean, it was before we got into therapy. It was certainly because... Legit? Oh, yeah, we're in therapy, 100%. Come on, man. We live in New York City and we have a kid and we got a lot of space. And you're in entertainment? Exactly, dude. Oh, yeah, don't get me started. But, yes.

Because we would fight with each other and have to turn that off and do the video so we can pay our bills. But now we're at a place to where we don't... We fight in therapy. We know how to argue now, but it was very dicey for a moment. But...

Yeah, we're always together, but we do also give ourselves some space. Like, I go to the gym by myself. I do all these things by myself. I do comedy. I go to comedy shows. She lets me come on the road by myself. You know what I mean? So we get our breaks from each other. Yeah, you have to. You have to have your separate things. You have no choice. You get so sick of each other, you know? Yeah, with all of the stuff that you're doing, you also...

Going through your list of things that you're involved in. You have your restaurateur, right? Yeah. How many do you have? Just one. Just the one in New York? In New York, yeah. And what is the cuisine? It's just American. It's called Bill's Supper Club. It used to be called Bill's Tavern. It's from back in the 40s.

And it's across the street from a famous place called Monkey Bar. So it's a good restaurant. You know, it's great. Did this come about because of all the food association? It came about because people saw I had a following and they're like, yo, you do food, but you also have a following. Do you want to work with us? And I'm like, yeah, I need a place to put my money. It's the heart of Midtown? Yeah. Wow. What is that real estate like? I don't know. I don't ask questions like that.

I put my money down. I'm like, don't tell me anything. Just let me tax write off, dude. Oh, my God. You came from sales as well. You've done cell phone sales and gym sales and any sale. I would sell toothbrush if I had to. Again, that helped me with radio. Radio helped me with that. That helps me with comedy. Improv. Exactly. 100%. I think what got me into entertainment is I was working at Metro PCS, probably the premier cell phone agency.

And I don't know. Do they pay you guys? Are you talking to me? Listen, it's to pay me too. You know, I went to an appearance with Paige, the UFC fighter. What was her name? Paige. Oh, Paige. You know which one. The one. She's on OnlyFans now. Yeah. Yeah. But I went, I did an appearance with her. It was me in a Mexican radio station. And then it was great. It was a good time. But it's like, I would never use that. You know, I didn't have it. Well,

So in your years of radio, because we all have them, what was the biggest disaster appearance you ever ended up at? Oh man, I got yelled at. I was at a Metro PCS. I did really a lot of Metro PCS. And I'm filming being there and my boss calls me and goes, why are you on your cell phone? Get off your cell phone. I was like, because I'm making a video.

for Metro PCS. Like, why am I, I got in trouble. Like, Metro didn't want me to do it anymore. I was like, yo, take it off. Wow. Dude, there were some cell phone appearances that were happening regularly. I don't even remember which cell phone company it was, but regularly, whoever the personality was would show up at the store and they'd say, what are you guys doing here? No one had ever, no one had ever communicated that we were there. No,

I've been so many times. Exactly. And I don't know what's worse, that when you show up and they don't know you're coming or you show up and they think that you're broadcasting live. You're bringing lines of people. They're like, where's the lines of people? It's like, dude, come on. Uh-huh.

Where's the lines of people? I do the afternoon show. You know what also, and I don't know what New York is like or Chicago is like, but here in Philadelphia, we're going to do an appearance in Center City, and they don't care. They don't show up. But you go to the surrounding areas. You go over to Jersey, you go somewhere in Bucks County or...

Yeah. The suburbs are where it's at. It's hard. My biggest sales with tickets are like Des Moines, Iowa and Dayton and Buffalo and all the suburbs. I played for the Pottstown. I did Pottstown PA. You did Soul Joles? Sold out five shows at Soul Joles. It was amazing. You come to like Atlanta and then in the cities, it's like, yo, buy a ticket, please. What do I got to do? I'll dance for you. I'll rub your belly over.

Buy a ticket. So that's where the humility comes in, right? Oh, dude, I'm humbled every time. I came, they're like, again, I sold out all these shows in Dayton and Des Moines. I come here and I'm like, hey,

They're like, yeah, but you're doing all right. I'm like, yeah, but... Yeah, yeah. Not what I want. No, but I mean, that's part of it. And we talk about, again, so your Insta numbers are huge. What's Facebook? I mean... Facebook's at 8.9 million. I got 9 million there. And you have literally billions of views. Yeah, TikTok's 10.7 million. I mean, so when you do... When that... When you... Do you ever feel that? Does that ever... Because...

I'm trying to understand how that manifests. Do you ever wake up and there's 10 billion people in front of your house? No. I'm not one of these... I'm not like a Jake Paul personality. I'm very to myself. I don't brag about what I have. I don't show the cars I drive. I don't do any of that. And I probably could make more of myself and market myself better, but I just...

That's not you. That's not me. Unauthentic. It's very unauthentic. I can't do that. It would be very exhausting. It's not fair for my son to see that side of a person. Like, I'm not that kind of person. I don't want to be that kind of dad to him. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's just, I don't think of myself when I'm out in public as like, I'm this figure. So when people come up to me like, oh, you're the guy. I'm like, yeah, man, let's do a picture. But I don't think of that first. I'm just...

I'm the awkward, corny Corey. That's who I am. I mean, as well, those, those numbers are so big. Sometimes we'll see somebody with a, with a, uh, uh, a following that's, uh, nearing the population of the United States. And I'm like, I don't know who that person is. It's wild. Yeah. It's, it's a different animal. Yeah. So, so let me ask you, uh, um, uh,

with, with your videos and the, the food that you've encountered. And then there's so many and, and they keep coming across, you know, my algorithm. So that's how I know you're, you're penetrating that way. What is, how did your jack? You don't go, you eat crap, but I'll say this. Um,

There are a lot of things that you will highlight that I'm like, that looks pretty goddamn good. Hell yeah. That's what I'm making it. So the question, long question for short answers, how do you not end up ballooning up with all the crap you're eating? Oh, oh, oh. No, I'm kidding. I got a good gym. I work out. My metabolism is okay. I do have love handles. It's tough. I saw myself at one point. I was like, I look like Chaz Bono right now. And so I had to...

Don't laugh at that because that makes me feel like it's true. Just facially. That's not what I want. You know I got the boobs too. I see them. That's not what I want.

God, facially, that's the worst part about it. I was just saying something else. You work out. You work out. Yeah, I go to the gym. I've been trying to eat whole foods lately. My fiance had a health scare a year and a half ago where she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She beat it. But she beat it because we really cracked down on eating healthy and eating clean. And now I'm eating bread with seeds in it. So you can tell how...

Do you eliminate sugar? Well, like the white table sugar I try. I try to talk about organic cane sugar is great. And the maple syrups and whatnot. If you're just tuning in, we're talking to Corey B. He's going to be at Helium Comedy Club. There's three nights of shows. Tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday as well. You can go to heliumcomedy.com. Have you given up on barbecue sauce?

Oh, yeah. See. You have your own barbecue sauce. Remember Leslie Jordan? Yeah. He passed away, RIP. Leslie was making a barbecue sauce with his company. And while he was in the process of making the barbecue sauce, he passed away. And then the barbecue sauce, I got in contact with him. Like, hey, we were making one for Leslie. But would you like to make one? I was like, this kind of seems like a bad omen. Yeah.

Uh-huh. Like, this guy just died. Right. Are we using his recipe? It's a company in Chattanooga. Great company. Very good. They source their stuff organic. They have their own farms that they use. They make really great products. They made me a barbecue sauce. Put my face on it. It was wild. I don't know.

It was kind of like these hopes and dreams of like, I'm going to use this in every video. But then I felt bad for using it in every video. So it's one of those things I could have marketed better and promoted harder. I didn't. And it's kind of flared out, but it's there. There's a core. You know, let me ask you about contributing. Sorry to interrupt, Steve. So I have my own pickles.

here in Philadelphia. No way. Fishtown Pickle Project. Amazing. And I gave them some ideas and they did the work. They made it happen and they're fantastic. Did you offer up any, like, I want to get these flavors or did you just say, make a barbecue sauce, throw my name on it? It's funny because I wanted to do, like, in D.C., there's this wing sauce. It's called Mambo sauce, I believe it's called. Oh. Huh.

I had it before. I really loved it. I was like, let's bottle this up and make it. And they tried it and they sent me a bottle. I was like, no, let's just do traditional barbecue sauce. Um, cause that's not working. And so they were like, we got to, we want to do like a lavender honey flavor and this and that. I was like, that sounds perfect. You guys are the pros. I have the face. I can make videos with it. Let's do that. And so that's kind of how that, how that went. I sort of get though. I mean, and it's, um, uh,

You have something, you have a fan base, and you don't want to be... You don't want to beg. Yeah, buy, buy, buy. They're already supporting you. Exactly. I appreciate that about you. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And by the way, it's called Corey B's Oh Baby Barbecue Sauce. That's a great name, by the way. Look at the face, dude. Who's buying that? Looks like Chaz Bono. It looks like... It looks like something...

The mouth open, dude? It should come with a sharpie. You should be able to draw things in there. You never get a picture in public with your mouth open. There were billboards in the city that there's a girl like, oh, she's surprised. On a billboard, people were drawing giant penis. And by the way, this is an incredibly well-traveled stretch of road. The odds that you could do it and not be discovered, and they had a huge dong

Right there. And hair on the nutsack. You gotta have the touch of the detail. And do you remember that morning? Because we were reporting on traffic. It was because of that billboard. They were slowing down a little. It caused so much traffic. You have alopecia on your ball. Corey, I went to Bill's Supper Club, the Instagram account. Did Taylor Swift have dinner there? No, she went across the street. Oh, okay.

She had dinner across the street, but she sure enough walked in front of our restaurant because now that's promo for us. There's a picture of the awning that says Bill's, but I don't know where the trailer is walking. She sure as heck walked across the street. All right. Yeah, don't walk anywhere near our building. We will get a photo of you.

That's hilarious. There's a shameless plug. Oh, that's awesome. I'm not allowed to go there. Too many models go there. So my fiance, I'm not allowed to go eat there. Do you have any celebs that are fans of yours that you found out about? Yeah, well, Elizabeth Banks. Why don't you keep messing me back? But she followed me. Christina Milian. I don't know who that is. Love her. John Stamos. We're boys now. So Mario Lopez. All right. I'm big into boxing. Love boxing. I'm a huge boxing guy.

I was at a boxing match and saw Mario Lopez there. And I took a picture. Beautiful hair. Crazy. That's not. That's unbelievable hair. And I took a picture and I was like, yo, AC Slater still has that hair. And he saw it. He liked the video. And he commented, oh, man, love that. And I was like, my response right after was, let's make a video together. And he goes, would love to.

Alright, and next thing I know, I'm going out to L.A. to do Access Daily and do that, you know, daytime television. He's a pretty good boxer. Dude, he's great. He's funny, but he's not like, everyone's like, Mario is off air the coolest guy ever. Really? He's like that guy's guy. It's amazing.

I love that. So we've been talking a lot this morning and even the conversation with you, Corey, about like the how awful social media can be and just the exhausting nature of all of it and keeping up with it and creating content, et cetera, et cetera. However, these things happen to you connected to him because of social media and like you have a friendship now. And it was just a comment.

It was just a silly thing and now you guys are buddies. That wouldn't have happened if not for social media. I give all my success to Facebook. I tell Zuckerberg, pull your pants down. I owe you everything. The crazy thing is not only the Mario Lopez thing, I had Jared Leto hit me up one day out of nowhere. It wasn't him. It was obviously his team. We want you to come do a video with Jared.

Next thing I know, I'm in his hotel room. Him and I are just doing a video together. He's floating because he's not a human being. He does seem a little otherworldly. Yeah. You know how people get into roles and characters and they don't break out of it? I think he still is Morbius, but somehow a vampire. I don't know.

I heard he's just like weird. I signed an NDA, but I'll tell you everything about him. He doesn't eat till 4 p.m. He's just nuts, dude. Look at the shape he's in. Look at this guy's nipples, though. It's real weird that he had his nips out right next to me like that. Yeah, he's wearing a

a mesh or sheer shirt. I mean, obviously, what, 30 Seconds of Mars he's on too, so he's not just an actor. He's got so many things going on. And he's actually a damn good actor. Doesn't age. He's just a great, he's a really nice guy, but like, you'd get done with a video with him and he just disappears. Did you see that video where he invited that celebrity chef over and it was just, it was this person who is...

renowned for being a terrific chef. And they come over to this private dinner at Jared Leto's house and Jared didn't care for what this person was preparing and just acted really aloof and arrogant around this guy. And the guy's like, what am I doing? I just came to make... Exactly. I came to make you dinner and you're treating me this way. And it was just... I don't like fish sticks. It was off-putting. He's a vegan. There was a lot of restrictions I had before I brought food over to him. But yeah, he's just... If you

he's got that vibe yeah and you've got like i saw him hugging people and i was like dude wouldn't even shake my hand i didn't know if i was smelly i don't know i mean i rode a bike i don't know i do have like my like i i wash really hard but sometimes i still smell you know i mean was it in new york yeah it was in new york okay yeah and but yeah i mean you had that chas bono kind of build yeah so my grundle you know i mean but again great guy from what i've

But he's, it could come off as that. For sure. Let me ask you, you mentioned the boxing and you had fought an ex-boxer. Italian guy. Italian guy who had won a few titles. Yeah. Now, what was the age difference? He was 40-something. I was 30-something. Okay. But.

So polymelanogy, yeah. Right. That's what I'm talking about. How did that go? So it went with, I don't know if I'm going to get sued for this, but it went from a company called Celebrity Boxing hit me up and be like, yo, would you like to do boxing? And I was like, yeah, actually, I've been training because my other coach told me I couldn't do it, so I wanted to do it. Right.

And they were like, well, we want you to fight Pauly Malignaggi. And I was like, who's that? And I didn't really know of him. And I looked it up. I was like, oh, this guy's a two-time world champion. Oh, my God. But like, you can make some good money doing it. And so there was a whole thing set up where we hated each other. And I went to some match and I smacked him in the back of the head. And it went viral. And then we had some fight that they didn't promote. So we only had 5,000 people there, tops. It was just not, it was whatever.

But for me, it was like, I still have those shorts. I want to frame them. It was an experience. I went three rounds with a professional champion. You know what I mean? And I lasted. Did you get tagged? No. So he's always been known as having pillow hands. Okay. So he doesn't really hit hard. And we also had 18-ounce gloves on. So we did some hitting, but not enough to feel it.

But it was exhilarating, man. It was very exhilarating. That's awesome. In fact, you got in the ring with a guy like that? Yeah, exactly. We were actually fighting each other. It wasn't like we weren't going to go easy on each other. It was like we were like, we're going to fight. It was fun, dude. Oh, that's awesome, man. Nice. Good on you, man. Well, listen, we're going to take a break, but I want to make sure everybody is aware that Corey's going to be at Helium Comedy Club tonight, 7 and 9.30. Tomorrow night, 6 and 8.30.

Get them a gift that shows how much you care, like a hand-forged pocket knife from William Henry. FamilyJewelers.com. Well, in March, the Idaho legislature declared that an emergency existed in that state, requiring it to immediately criminalize the public exposure of, among other things, any human breast, except for breastfeeding purposes. Now,

Many of you might be thinking, wasn't that already illegal in Idaho? And the somewhat surprising answer is no, but it is now. Now, it's called House Bill 270, which the governor has since signed into law, amended and expanded the state's indecent exposure statute. And according to this article I read, the bill expands this to punish one who similarly displays

Toys or products intended to resemble male or female business, they're calling it, or exposes developed female breasts, real or artificial. Now, the concern about toys or products intended to resemble human business is what seems to have gotten the bill dubbed, and this is what they call it,

The Truck Nuts Bill. Is that what it's about? Yes. Truck Nuts. Oh, my God. Well, that's what they've nicknamed it. Listen, they crack me up when I see Truck Nuts. Yeah. It cracks you up when you see Truck Nuts? Yeah, yeah. About how stupid it is? Yeah. Yeah, I think so anyway. I look at it and go, oh.

You're an a-hole. You're a moron. So following mockery to that effect by Melissa Wintrow, Idaho's Senate Minority Leader, she had said they're gross or offensive and kids on the road see them.

So why wouldn't police get a call and say, that offends me, pull it off the truck? Because now this bill will allow it. And I talked to the police and they said, indeed, it would. So the Idaho Supreme Court will have the ultimate judge of that. But the truck nuts bill in Idaho. In New Jersey, while some wait their entire life for a knight in shining armor, it was a hoodie donning man on his horse who

who came to the rescue after a hit and run on a suburban street Saturday in Riverside, New Jersey. Was he wearing a black mask? No. So a man named PJ was visiting the township to show his horse, Shiny, to his friends. But that morning, the duo saw a driver strike a park

car and ride off into the sunset. And a different person reported the incident to police telling officers she heard a loud crash outside her Middleton street home. When she went outside, she saw a vehicle speeding off and noticed damage to a parked car. Shortly after, PJ emerged with some important news to deliver by horseback. PJ informed the caller that he saw a gray Honda Accord hit the vehicle and drive off. And with shiny's help, PJ rode after the car. He let Gwen chase down the car. Wow.

And he got close enough to obtain a partial license plate number. And that information helped police identify Italo Lavely, some really long last name, as the suspect. And he was charged with careless driving without a license, failure to report an accident.

He should have lassoed the side view mirror. Leaving the scene of an accident. Riverside Police said, we'd especially like to thank PJ and his sidekick, Shidey, for their efforts to get us the information that ultimately solved the case. That's pretty cool.

Wow. Wow.

Joyce Zelen, curator of prints at this museum, said that condoms would have been sold under the counter at that time. This example is in mint condition, she said, with UV testing revealing that it hasn't been used. Do you know that before they could remove the sheep's intestines, they would often use just full sheep as condoms? Wow. Yeah, I've heard of that. But that's what they got lambskin condoms, right? Is that they would use the lambs' intestines? Yep. How? Okay, so I'm just wondering at the base, like,

Elastic didn't exist then. How did they make it stay? I don't know. So this fact, as well as the prints and the extended length of the condom, which is 7.9 inches long, suggests this was a, quote, luxury brothel souvenir. Oh, okay. More for display than use. It makes it more of an object to laugh about with your friends than an actual object to use, she said. In the etching, the nun can be seen seated with her legs open,

while the three clergymen are holding up their robes, revealing that they have, you know, their manhood ready to go. This is scandalous. The inscription, Voilà mon choix, means this is my choice. And it makes the print of a parody of both celibacy and the judgment of Paris.

From a Greek mythology. From Greek mythology, said the museum. The artwork is actually very impressive. And they got it on this the way they did. Because it is a meticulous etching. Yeah, so here's how they did it. They would have provided minimal protection from unwanted pregnancies. But it was used. But the printmaker would have laid the appendix of the sheep or goat out flat. Used a copper plate with the inked etching on it to print the design to it. All right.

how they worked that out. All right, and then we'll do one more story and then we'll wrap this up. A Florida-based lock manufacturer named Proven Industries

A lawsuit against Trevor McNally, a social media creator with millions of followers after McNally posted videos appearing to show how easily Proven's locks could be opened using a piece of an aluminum can. All right. Now, according to the documents, McNally first published a video on April 3rd that incorporated about 15 seconds from Proven's promotional video. In the video, McNally seemed demonstrating how to bypass the lock, which Proven denied.

claims creates a false impression that their product is trivially easy to defeat. The video titled $130 Lock Bypassed with a Can has been taken down due to copyright claim by Proven. In his complaint, Proven Industries said the reproduction of plaintiff's copyrighted material was not necessary to convey any legitimate message.

And was instead included to improperly attract attention, ridicule plaintiff, and frame the Locke product as insecure and trivial. So in the video, he is, with its editing, timing, and context, gives consumers the false or at least misleading impression that the Locke, that the proven Locke is mere child's play.

In the video, McNally appears swinging his legs and sipping from an apple juice box conveying to the purchasing public that bypassing plaintiff's lock is simple, trivial, and even comical.

But what they say he failed to disclose was critical, critical information such as that successfully bypassing the lock required prior disassembly of the product to examine its internal components, including the position of the plunger and to manufacture a custom fit shim with precise notch dimensions. OK, so I can see where they're coming from. This isn't just like, oh, look what I can do quickly. Yeah. Without any prep. Yep.

So after any any lock given enough effort can be broken. By the way, after they they asked him to take it down, he posted three additional videos targeting more of their products. And so now they're coming after him with a lawsuit. So I thought that was kind of interesting. It is interesting when you when you go after a product online.

You may want to be careful how you do that. Yeah. You might have legal recourse. You could open up the package and crack it open. Yeah. You might have a case for saying, look, this is, well, it's here. It's obvious you made this claim and I refuted it. Yeah. But this is a little bit more elaborate. Yeah. All right. And there you go. That's what I have in the bizarre file for you. Hey, again, thank you to our friends at Dunkin' for dropping off a whole bunch of donuts today as National Donut Day.

have made an arrest in the theft of two irreplaceable instruments owned by members of the band Heart that were stolen from a venue in New Jersey last weekend. Atlantic City Police say surveillance video initially led them to a 57-year-old Pleasantville man who was later seen on video walking through various parts of the city trying to sell the instruments. Oh, man. He eventually sold one while the other remains unaccounted for.

Police declined further comment. The man has been charged with burglary and theft. So the band was set to kick off an Evening with Heart tour at the Hard Rock in AC on Saturday. And its gear had been set up there the day prior to the show. And among the items stolen were a custom-built purple sparkle baritone Telecaster guitar with a hand-painted headstock made for Nancy Wilson.

And also a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 Mandolin that band member Paul Moak has been playing for over 25 years. Nancy had said in a statement, these instruments...

are more than just tools of our trade. They're extensions of our musical souls. And she also offered a reward for information leading to their return. She said, we're heartbroken and we're asking for the same return. No questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable. So, obviously, they're still looking for one of the instruments. And I don't know which one they retrieved. When your heart...

and you're heartbroken, it doesn't get worse than that. So how did this guy, and who is this guy? I don't know. I don't gain access to this stuff. Don't know. But they also, they left all that stuff sitting out. I mean, I understand, you know, you have, you set up the night before, but a lot of times instruments are put in, you know, vaults. Yeah. They have those mobile vaults and they lock them up and nobody can get to them. So I don't know what the story was. Seems a risky problem. Well, now they learned. Yeah. All right. How about this? Didn't see this coming.

Pop star Nick Jonas will play Kiss singer-guitarist Paul Stanley in the upcoming biopic Shout It Out Loud. It's pretty wild, isn't it? The Jonas Brothers singer-guitarist has been cast as a Kiss legend and will do his own singing in the movie. The film being directed by McG, known for helming various music videos of artists like Korn, The Offspring, Sugar Ray, and Sublime, as well as big screen flicks such as Charlie's Angels and Terminator Salvation, among others.

So according to Deadline, McG is also looking to cast a big name actor to play Gene Simmons. Well, there's no word yet on who will portray Ace Frehley or Peter Criss. So he's supposedly looking at Kevin Hart for Gene Simmons. He's going to replicate, use the cast of Jumanji. Okay. Oh, yeah. Why not? Yeah, yeah.

So back in 2023, it was reported that Shout It Out Loud would be released on Netflix in 2024, while news of the film first broke a couple of years earlier in 2021. Now Deadline reports the movie will first go into production at the end of this year or early 2026, meaning it probably won't be released until late 2026.

Or even 2027. I want to see him in the makeup. I want to see if he can cut it. And I'm really interested to see a movie about Kiss. Yeah. It'd be pretty cool. The latest script is being handled by Darren Lemke, a screenwriter who's worked on Shrek Forever after Goosebumps Kung Fu Panda 4. Well, Kung Fu Panda 4 is essentially the story of Kiss. Yes. Shout It Out Loud will focus on the formation and the early days of Kiss.

who formed in New York City in the early 70s and went on to be one of the most influential acts in rock history. This is really cool. Talking Heads formed in New York in 1975, which means the band is turning 50 years old this year. They're celebrating that anniversary today with the first official music video for Psycho Killer. Oh, wow. An enduring classic from the 1977 debut album Talking Heads 77. Now, it's 50 years today since...

since they played their first show, which was an opening slot for the Ramones at CBGB. The video does not feature a psycho killer in action, but it might show one in the progress of formation. It was directed by Mike Mills of REM. Wow. And it stars the great Saoirse Ronan as an office drone who seems to be having a mental breakdown under the weight of the daily grind.

We see her at home, at work, in a car, in the woods, alternating between despair and unhinged crack-ups. It's a really cool video. She's great in it. I love her. And here's what she had to say about the video. She said, to simply be mentioned in the same breath as Talking Heads is hands down one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me, let alone making a video with the singular Mike Mills to accompany one of their most iconic songs, Psycho Killer.

I've grown up listening to their music, so this is truly a childhood slash teenage slash lifelong dream come true. Mike, myself, and the rest of the creative team had so much fun making this, and I can't wait for Talking Heads fans to see it. Talking Heads said in a statement, this video makes the song better. We love what this video is not.

It is not literal, creepy, bloody, physically violent, or obvious. It's a pretty cool little thing if you get a chance to watch it. She's in one of my favorite movies of all time, Brooklyn. Love that movie. I hope this is like that movie, Preston. You think it is? It's a love story. Steve, you're going to love the ending. Yes, I love it. And then finally, our buddy Kyle Mac. Hey!

And his project, Minute by Minute, a celebration of the music of Michael McDonald, are going to be performing this weekend on Sunday at 118 North in Wayne, PA. Showtime is 7.30. Doors open at 6.30. And it is an 11-piece band. And as he says in this press release, three and a half singers. I don't know what that means. But full horn section, rhythm section. And they're wonderful. They came by here and played some music in our studio.

But it's not only Michael McDonald's solo hits, but also Doobie Brothers, Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, Parasite.

Patti LaBelle, Van Halen. Yeah. So all things that Michael McDonald had a hand in. As we've said before, the song I'll Wait from Van Halen was actually had some co-writing done by Michael McDonald. So that's why they put it in their set. Tickets are only 20 bucks. You can't beat that. Yeah. You can buy them in advance at 118northwayne.com or you can get them at the door. You can also do dinner reservations. If you want to have dinner during the show, you can do that.

21 and over event unless you're accompanied by an adult. So we can't recommend this enough. Really talented local musicians. And they worked very, very hard to put this project together. And we know and love Kyle, of course. So again, you can check out 118northwayne.com.

and get those tickets for Sunday's show. And that's what we have in music news for you. All right, we have a final break that we're going to take when we get back. Wrapping up the show, giving away our Word of the Week prize. Good luck to you. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

Centuria. Sublime. 93.3 WMMR. Everything rocks. And a very summery, flavory song, in my opinion. Nice way to end today's program. 10.32. And No Sad Bro Friday is in full effect. Heading into a decent weekend. We do have a chance for showers on Sunday. So...

Just be aware of that as you're making weekend plans. We've got graduation on Monday for my youngest. Fortunately, that's looking pretty good. Well, there you go. And a little bit cooler, right? 82, so a little bit cooler than today. Not bad. About ideal, actually. In the evening? Yeah. All right. Well, you'll get away. So is it, what, in the football stadium outside? Yeah. Okay. Okay.

As long as the weather is going to be acceptable, yeah, it'll be in the football stadium. Ours was in the pavilion on Nova's campus the other night, which was great because it was pretty warm out. And I know it seems like half are outside and half are inside. But inside with the air conditioning was fine by me earlier this week. Yeah, so we'll see. If the weather does change, then we'll head indoors. We've done, so far we've done one outside and one inside.

with our kids. So we'll find out what the next is to be. I would like to thank our guest today. We have Mr. Corey B. Stop by. And he is, he was a really nice guy. He's going to be at Helium Comedy Club tonight, tomorrow, Sunday as well. You can get tickets at heliumcomedy.com. He's got millions of

And she's our winner. By the way, Robert, with a name like that, Pierre, do you speak any French? Sure. Yeah, of course you do. Sure. Yeah. I am sorry I asked that question. Okay. Do you know how to say cut the grass in French? How? M.

Modilon. That's good. We have some French here, President. Cacalola. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And what was the other one? Seep. Boop, boop. Seep. There you go. Yeah. My classes will begin tomorrow. Summer class. Yeah. Summer school class. Join me at Villanova on the lawn.

underneath the pope picture nice how you doing today man great great awesome i enjoyed the conversation with the comedian and i love that steve said yes pierre our legendary blah blah blah blah blah and we we purposely go late so he can sleep later which was an interesting deception and i but i i love that um however actually do love that you go later also no correct me if i'm wrong

The second bizarre file is your alert. Is your get up and get moving? Right. I was in the shower on the bizarre file, so I knew I was in trouble. And then Ryan actually texts me now the exact time the show is going to end. And so I was doing 75 up this little road up here. Is that the speed limit on that?

I didn't know. It's 85. So I was under the speed limit. And I pulled screaming around a corner. And then there was a police car in front of me. And I slowed immediately. Yes. Yeah. Pulled into the parking lot. And, you know, it's, no, I have to leave my house by the song that comes out of the commercials out of Bizon.

Bizarre file. So technically you're what, 20 minutes? Yeah, something like that. Okay. 15, 20. I don't know the mileage, but I know the details. Okay. And sometimes I tend to go back roads, and if they do work, then I'm effed. But I'm used to all kinds of things. Back in the day with the Bella, this one time I lived up at the art museum area, 22nd and Green.

And I hopped in. My mother died. She left me her Cooperville Cadillac, her 1979 Cooperville. It's a beast. It was a beast. And it was hard to find parking. So I got all these illegal tickets and it was always wanted. So I had to get it off the streets before 10 because I had to get into a parking lot downtown because that's when the parking authority came by. So I come running down and I had gotten a few memos from the general manager about being tardy.

and it was going in my permanent file. And DeBell, of course, as I've told you guys before, would give me no break. I mean, it was just like, because he had this little rap he would end his show with, and at the end he'd go, hi there, Willie. And I'd go, and I'd say hello. And then if I wasn't there, he'd go, oh.

Where is he? Yeah. Silence. He doesn't seem to be here. Oh, he must be late. You mother effer. Could you just give your bro a little break, man? He would never cut your slack. Dude, never. Yeah. And so after having caught in one of those a few times, I would drive down 23rd Street, make a left on Locust, over to 20th Street, up, and there was a parking lot I parked in at 20th and Walnut. Okay.

uh i make the left on locust off a 23rd i go down to 21st street there's road construction blocking the street there's a car behind me i can't back up there's construction in front of me i got this big fat old coupe de ville and and he's starting to go into always look on the bright side of life which gives me two and a half minutes before that out cue i go mother oh oh oh oh and i just

I pulled the car right up onto the sidewalk. Half of the butt of it's sitting onto the street. Half of the butt of it's bumping it almost into a building at an angle. Put the flashers on and took off running. Down Locust through 19th, 20th, across Rittenhouse Square, into the Wellington building, hit the third floor button, up on nothing, run down. The guy is yelling at the road guys. What the are you doing? I go, I'll be back.

Someone will be back. And I made the crossover. You did. It was one of my greatest triumphs. That's amazing. And then I had to find an intern to go move the car. Move the car. That is more inspiring than Hoosiers. Yeah. Yeah. So there's been any number of calamities which I've either made or not made, similar to catching airplanes.

Sometimes you make them. Sometimes you don't. As Maxwell Smart would say when I don't, missed it by that much. And this is the curse of being Pierre Robert. I don't wish it on anyone. To be perfectly honest. Every word I just told you, that is an absolutely true story. To see that hulking beast of an old car even then, half on the sidewalk, half of it in the street at an angle with the flashers on, and these construction guys, what the hell are you doing? I'll be back.

It occurs to me that you're the only person I know who's actually living in a multiverse. There's another time frame that you live in. Yes. I think that's accurate. How about that letter? Alright, let's do it. We're ready, my man.

Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR. Now, the Daily Letter. Preston and Steve show brought to you today by The Letter. He is in early. All right, call number 8 at 610-660-9333. Take a crack at it.

Right. Yeah. And we're in the lobby or in this elevator lobby waiting to go up to our room. And he comes in with a thing of Starbucks and...

Nick and I go, hey, Ace, great playing last night. And Nick says, oh, man, Ace, great playing with Pearl Jam. And he goes, yeah, they were really good. You remember what else was in that elevator? Uh-uh. The four very attractive young women. I don't remember that. Yeah, well, you remember the coffee. I remember the women. I remember their brothers, but I don't remember that. Were they in there with Ace? Uh-huh. Oh, they were with him. Yeah, they were all going back up with Ace, yeah. They were baristas. Still. Yes. Yeah, baristas is the term that they used to use.
