Last time we talked to Daughtry was back in November, when he stopped by the Camp Out For Hunger to promote a show in Atlantic City. This past Friday, Chris and guitarist Brian Craddock stopped by the Preston & Steve studio to promote a new song and their show in Atlantic City that night with Breaking Benjamin.
They started off with a quick hello and then got right into rocking, because Chris wanted to make sure he wouldn’t lose his voice during the performance so early in the morning. The first song was their brand new song “Pieces”, which was released earlier that morning. They followed that up with their 2021 hit “Heavy Is The Crown”. Preston and Steve were blown away with how "un-freaking-real" Chris's voice is, especially so early after performing the night before.
After the two songs Chris and Brian chatted with Preston & Steve. They talked about Chris finding his voice and realizing he had something with it, the potential of being burnt out by his own music while creating it, and the car/headphone test with new music. They chat about rolling up like a baller in his tour bus, working out on the road in hotel gyms, and being star struck with celebrities.
Brian tells a great story of the time he met Don Henley at a Grammy's after party, where he might have "had a few wobbly pops."
He also expands on his time on American Idol and how it opened all the doors for his career but also hindered (in his mind) his credibility to rock radio in the start.
"Celebrity Jeopardy!" Million Dollar Winner, Lisa Ann Walter, checks in with The Preston & Steve Show
From Parent Trap to winning one million dollars for charity on Celebrity Jeopardy!, star of Abbott Elementary, Lisa Ann Walter graced the airwaves this morning.
We flooded the phone line with congratulatory praise, but Lisa was more than excited to tell us about her nerves going into last night's big show.
Anxiety levels were running high on the night of filming. We learned that while pressing the button early didn't affect her score, Lisa did admit to sitting out on questions she could confidently answer.
The shining moment of the night came when answering a question about Villanova University. Lisa whipped out the accent she perfected on screen so many years ago and answered/asked, “Wut es Phil-uh-delfia.” Lemme tell ya, that jawn was on point.
If you are not familiar with the format of Celebrity Jeopardy!, the famous contestants faceoff in a series of tournaments, then the top three faceoff in the finals. This year is came down to CBS Sunday Mornings’ correspondent Mo Rocca, sports commentator, Katie Nolan and of course, the inevitable champion.
The million dollar prize is heading to an organization close to Lisa’s heart. She proudly chose the Entertainment Community Fund as the recipient of her prize winnings. The money will be going to actors and writers affected by the Hollywood strike.
On the big night of the primetime debut of the show, Lisa Ann hosted a watch party with family and friends. Spoiler alert- she already knew she friggin won!
It was a short check before hitting the hair and make-up trailer on set. Oh, yeah, “Abbott Elementary” is back filming. Season 3 debuts February 7th on ABC.
How did an article in the Entertainment Report turn into one of the greatest calls Preston & Steve have ever received? Honestly, we aren’t quite sure either, but we are going try to unpack this segment of our show.
As Preston went through the daily Entertainment Report, he began to read that a few of Lizzo’s ex backup dancers are suing for sexual harassment charges. One dancer says that Lizzo pressured her to touch a nude performer at a club in Amsterdam. The lawsuit details different features of the bar, including its banana theme and nudity. None of it has been confirmed.
That was until Mike called in to share that he had been to that bar in Amsterdam. He went on to give many details, maybe a few too many details, about “Bananenbar”.
He explained that the strip bar was exactly how the women in the case explained it: lots of nudity, lots of drinking, and lots of bananas. He and his brothers were in town to see a Ween concert, but boy, did they see a lot more than that.
For your sake, we won’t get into the nitty gritty details. But if you want to hear more about what this bar really offered, you can check out clips of phone.
We at The Preston & Steve Show got to talk to one of the bands set to be at the always-glorious MMRBQ and Preston’s favorite modern band in the world: Larkin Poe!
Rebecca and Megan Lovell’s live performance in the studio this past fall still sticks with us, mainly because that is when they debuted their song “Strike Gold.” Our assistant producer Connor recently saw them live, and he loved the show. Rebecca and Megan had a lot of fun at it as well. They cannot wait to come back to Philadelphia, especially in September for the MMRBQ.
Having come up in the bluegrass scene, the sisters love playing festivals. There is a lot of collaboration and jamming at bluegrass festivals, which is a sight you don’t often see with rock ones. However, we and the sisters hope that can change with the MMRBQ. Seeing Rebecca sing with Billy Idol would be quite a sight, but we want to see her harmonize the Safelite jingle with Steve and Casey while Preston plays drums.
We did get to talk with the sisters about their most recent album, Blood Harmony. Preston found that the album has a much larger sound compared to the previous ones, and according to Rebecca, that’s ironically from stripping down the music. By being on the road, Larkin Poe has gotten comfortable as a four-piece band, which translated into the studio with them avoiding the layering of guitars and vocals on Blood Harmony.
It turns out, the sisters have a very close relationship with Elvis Costello. They met at a musical event, and he has since become a great mentor to them. He was the one who taught them not to simplify themselves or confine their music to a box. He believes that artists should curate the art they are passionate about, and, in turn, fans will respond with love.
Megan and Rebecca recently made their television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Preston was very happy about one of their song choices. They played “Bad Spell,” a song he describes as “stanky.” That is intended as a compliment!
The sisters are also close to WMMR’s resident vampire Jacky Bam Bam. He has their personal cell numbers, and they can confirm what we have always known about him. They called him “one of the most precious of all the rock ‘n roll angels.”
Thanks to Rebecca and Megan for having a chat with us. We look forward to seeing them rock the stage at MMRBQ in September!
What do CaseyBoy and Brandon Marsh have in common? They both have a fear of sharks. Well, not so much a fear, more of a respect. The open water is where the sharks live and there’s no reason to visit them home.
That conversation was one of the many highlights of our Spring Training conversation with the Phillies Outfielder.
First and foremost, we talked about last season. Brandon said that some of his best moments of his life spent on the baseball field happened last fall. This team wants to run October back. (woo!)
Preston found a beautiful way to lead that into a hair conversation. We were all confused at first, but Preston was courageous enough to admit it. Through the laughter, Brandon sniffed a couple of stands and confirmed that it is clean today and smells lovely!
What was it like for Brandon to join the Phillies at the deadline? He was super nervous because he only knew one player. But that went away quickly. He’s now a guy from Georgia who uses the word “jawn”.
Back to the fear of sea animals. Casey shared his plan to eradicate sharks by lure them in with possums that have grenades inside them. Brandon’s on board. What about gators? Same. He saw mini gators while playing mini golf.
Ready to love Brandon Marsh even more? He grew up as a Braves fan, but told us how much he loved hitting a homer against them. He loves that Philly as a city is a harsh critic because he has a football mentality when it comes to playing.
Oh, and if you need more hair care tips, Kathy’s got you.
Hawaiian shirts are a regular fixture of Charlie Manuel’s wardrobe. They fit his vibe perfectly since he spends much of his year in Florida. It was during our conversation with the World Series winning Manager that he and his wife, Missy, argue over colors. He prefers the monochrome color pallets, while she likes to pick out brighter patterns for him to wear.
That’s where our conversation with Charlie at Phillies Spring Training begin. He’s been in Clearwater since Pitchers and Catchers reported to the facility.
We flashed back to the evolution of Spring Training. Charlie’s first major league camp was in 1968, and back then, it was intended for getting all players the out-of-shape players game ready again. Charlie recalled having to go to the hospital during his first camp. Conditioning is a lot lighter nowadays.
Then there was the Tony Bennett story. After a game in Toronto, Charlie met Tony in a hotel elevator. He blurted out, “Hey Tony Bennett, sing us a song.” Tony’s reaction – and the way Charlie recalled it – was hilarious. Second to that story is the time that Charlie met Julie Andrews. To be fair, it was made better by the alternate ending that Steve Morrison imagined.
So what else is Charlie up to once the season starts? He visits PA affiliates in the summer and Florida affiliates during other points of the year. A lot of guys want to talk to him about baseball and aren’t intimidated by him. He is a self-proclaimed top scout in the league. If you’re looking for a tip, Charlie told us that fans should be excited about Johan Rojas in Reading and the younger players currently in the camp.
Great catching up with Uncle Chuck!
The second time that Cindy Williams visited The Preston & Steve Show was in April 2022, to promote her one woman show at The Bucks County Playhouse.
She shared the most wonderful stories from her career: studying with Sally Fields, serving Jim Morrison cocktails on the Sunset Strip, punching Ron Howard, George Lucas pitching a little movie about teens in space.
Enjoy this very special interview with Cindy Williams.
The second season of "Hello, Jack! The Kindness Show", Jack McBrayer's kids show, is available now on Apple TV+.
Truth be told, there was one band member missing from today's live performer in The Preston & Steve Studio. We're not quite sure where they would have fit though!
Don McCloskey brought his crew in to rock the house live on MMR. He's on tour supporting the new album, The Chaos & The Beauty. Catch them opening up for the It's Always Sunny Podcast this Sunday & Monday at The Met, and headlining Ardmore Music Hall on October 14th.
"I wanted to make a documentary that was not about football so that anybody could sit down and watch it and enjoy it. And I wanted to make it about working class people and their love for sport, but really their love for community."
That was Rob McElhenney's goal when he created the docuseries, Welcome to Wrexham which premieres August 24th on FX. We got a sneak peek at the first episode and can confidently say, goal achieved.
By the way, he calls it football because he "doesn't want to get stabbed."
The series takes an in-depth look at the ownership journey that Rob and Ryan Reynolds have embarked on with Wrexham A.F.C. Cameras catch every moment from the ZOOM meeting where the two Hollywood stars were visibly nervous pitching the fans to let them buy the team to... well, no one knows the ending... it hasn't happened yet.
When we mentioned that the docuseries is like real life Ted Lasso, Rob laughed. It wasn't at the comparison though. Jason Sudeikis, who plays Ted, joined Rob and Ryan for a game a Wembley earlier this season. The parallels between the two shows are bountiful but Jason smugly pointed out that he knows how his will end each season. These guys are leaving their entire series to fate. D'oh!
It's all well and cool that the press reviews of Welcome to Wrexham are all glowing, but how are the fans receiving it? "We did a bunch of screenings for the people of the town and it went over really well. There were so many laughs and tears. We really wanted to get it right for them."
“I wanted to make a documentary that was not about football so that anybody could sit down and watch it and enjoy it. And I wanted to make it about working class people and their love for sport, but really their love for community.” That was Rob McElhenney’s goal when he created the docuseries, Welcome […]
The Warning visits WMMR for The Preston & Steve Show's first live in-studio performance in over two years. The trio also chats with Preston & Steve about their beginnings in rock and roll, the Metallica cover that put them on the map, and what it's like working together as sisters.
See the official performance video for their most recent single "Money" here.
Sixers Forward and Ambassador for Crumble Cookies, Toabias Harris, joins the Preston & Steve Show.
You've seen the video, now hear from the local superhero herself! News reporter and graduate of PW high school, Tori Yorgey, joins The Preston & Steve Show.
Valerie Bertinelli joined The Preston & Steve Show on Thursday morning to discuss her new memoir, Enough Already.
Preston immediately took the opportunity to compliment her son's spectacular performance at the MMRBQ 2021. "Awww, thank you, I couldn't be more proud of him!" Valerie responded. She continued to boast about his success and how relived she was by the welcoming reception Wolfie received from the rock 'n roll community after pouring his heart into his work. "He was nominated for a Grammy for Christ sake!"
Her new book goes deep into details of their marriage and the relationship they built after it ended. "We had a lot of peace with each other, we enjoyed each other's company again... I felt more of a love for his soul, for his kindness, for the true person that Ed was when he wasn't drinking and doing drugs. He was really a lovely, lovely human when he wasn't in pain."
Cooking is another big part of her life now. She has struggled with Emotional Eating for years and continues to find a healthy balance for herself and to share with anyone who may have the similar issues.
Hosting a baking show can't make that easy, but damn is it fun. Preston worked in a shoutout for the littlest member of the P&S Family, Nick Murphy's son, Desmond, who has formed a serious crush on Valerie as the host of his favorite show, Kids Baking Championship. Same Des, same.
"Awww, please give him a kiss for me."
Take a listen to the full interview, which ends with a black hole of random 80s movie supporting characters:
Pearl Jam bassist, Jeff Ament, has taken his passion for skateboarding and used it to help the youth community. His foundation, Montana Pool Service, builds world-class skateparks and educates younger generations on the sport.
We discuss this "part time job" he has taken on helping the community and how skateboarding has connected him to people throughout different points in his life.
Jeff shared a behind the scenes peek into the Pearl Jam world as well: using the Beatles documentary series as a kickoff to talking about how PJ spends their time in the recording studio.
We learned about how the bassist listens to new music (Eddie's new single just happened to be the latest new song he's heard). And, If you are curious about tour rumors, we got a little insight into the band's plans for 2022 and beyond.
Oh, and Ben Simmons? Jeff has some thoughts on that situation. Enjoy our conversation, we sure did.

For the record, Kevin dared us to make that the headline of this podcast.
It worked, because you're hear listening. And, it's the truth! We talked to the director and friend of the show from the set of Clerks III filming right now in Jersey. He talked about his characters and storylines being an extension of his own life - with a little twist. For the record, Kevin has never actually been to a donkey show.
Of course we get deep about growing up and how life experiences effect our work - the perfect transition to talking about Masters of the Universe: Revelation. People are loving it, others are not, and Kevin is fine either way. If it makes your day great, if it doesn't no need to @ him. We can't all be Ted Lasso.
Preston, Casey, & Nick were in the theater with all of the WMMR winners quietly gasping and holding back emotions during the Black Widow screening. Like most people in attendance, it was their first movie theater experience since the pandemic.
And it was a Marvel movie. That made it even more special. Somehow the MCU keeps pulling out all the stops and creating superhero masterpieces. Enjoy this SPOILER FREE review before you get to see Black Widow when it hits theaters and Disney+ this Friday.
Have you ever dreamed of pounding beers Kelce at The OD? Here's your chance. Seriously. He's hosting a guest bartending event on Wednesday evening to raise funs for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
"It's one of my favorite bars of all time," Jason told us this morning. We've always guessed that based on The Ocean Drive SECURITY shirt he notoriously wore for years, but it was still cool to hear.
We also talked about the chance of him being around to wear Kelly Green in 2023 and his thoughts on Ben Simmons and the Sixers.
Enjoy the podcast and make plans to be at The OD Wednesday, June 30th.

Luke Williams called in after the biggest night of his life. You could still hear the smile on his face! Although we learned that this move up to the bigs makes him ineligible for the 2021 Olympics, to him, that's okay. Following his dream to have a big league feels like the right career path right now. Enjoy Philly, Luke, and keep the bats swinging.
It's not that hard: don't be a slob, help out, and save the hanky panky for your own home! We break down the 20 tips for being a good house guest. [Spoiler Alert - we don't agree with them all]

Fact 1: Jay is the first person to be inducted into the HoF with not one, but two, Camp Out For Hunger City 6 Pop-a-Shot Championships.
Fact 2: Jay thinks that the Golden Jock Strap Trophy belongs in his Basketball Hall of Fame display.
Enjoy our conversation with the latest collegiate coach (there's not many) inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Let’s begin with this fact: Mythic Quest is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Citizen Kane is at 99%.
We could talk to Rob every week. In fact, it feels like we have done just that recently. But every conversation is very different; we always new things to discuss, new stories to tell. (are we, like, best friends?)
The focus of today’s interview was to promote the CORA for Kids Golf Outing coming up on May 24th. Every year when we talk about how important this fundraiser is to the organization, we discuss how CORA doesn’t just give back to the community, they give everything to the community. Then Rob shared a story that put it in to perspective: it was about his dad working at CORA, now, as an adult, gives him goosebumps. But, as an 8 year old he couldn’t understand why he couldn’t have Jordans. Listen to the podcast and you’ll get goosebumps too.
Then, Rob pivoted that goodwill to share an important message to aspiring filmmakers. He clearly stated that if you ever had dreams of getting into the TV/movie industry, now is the time. Stop what you’re doing, go to Hollywood or New York and sell it. There are so many opportunities. There has never been a better time to get into our business than right now.
Listen to the man who has a 100% on the TomatoMeter. Although we learned that this latest project could have goes very differently. After a slight pause, Rob blurts out, “I can say this publicly, because, who cares…. We made an offer to Robert Downey Jr. to play Ian.” Obviously he did not take the roll. And neither did Will Farrell. “I’m going to be honest,” Rob who ended up filling the roll of Ian on Mythic Quest stated, “the show would have been better if Robert or Will was playing Ian, but guess what? They’re not.”
One last question: Now that Ted Lasso and Mythic Quest exist in the same Apple universe, maybe Wrexham could play AFC Richmond this season? There are some things in the works we’re told.
Of course he did. The Preston & Steve Show was mid-interview with Kaitlin Olsen, who was on to promote her new show, Hacks on HBO Max, when walks Rob walked into the room. A faint "what are you doing?" could be heard, and instead of explaining, she just handed him the phone. It was gold.
Thank you Kaitlin for generously sharing a few minutes of your interview so that your non-Emmy nominated husband could share dirt about getting Jimmy Kimmel drunk yesterday. We’ll all be watching YOUR new show, Hacks, next Thursday.
The Preston & Steve Show discuss the importance of this movie to the MCU (and our lives in general)
It finally happened. Bert has been willing it for years, but the news finally broke yesterday that the The Machine is becoming a movie. The plot takes place 20 years after the original story, Bert and his dad are kidnapped by the Russian mobsters that he did dirty years before.
The best part about this announcement is the casting of Bert's father: Mark freaking Hamill. Imagine how excited you would be to become Darth Vader's grandkid? Times that by a million and that's the joy you'll hear in this interview.
On this day in Preston & Steve History, a very young Rob McElhenney stopped by the studio to tell us about his show that was just renewed for... wait for it.. a second season. This kid's going places!
We always kind of considered Zack Snyder a friend of The Preston & Steve Show, but today he confirmed it by calling into the show the morning of the Snyder Cut release. Take a listen to the interview and please consider donating to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, an organization very close to the Snyder family.

What a sad weekend with the loss of two icons. The Preston & Steve Show remember these legendary people.
Preston & Steve's interview with the legendary manager is forever in the history books as one of the most fiery conversations in the show's history. The spiral didn't start when Steve addressed the ongoing steroid controversy, or Preston dove deep into Tommy's personal attachment to the game, it was mostly just Nick in general. In his defense, Nick was merely doing his duty as a Phillies fan and defending the game's most beloved mascot, but Tommy was not having it. Flashback to this classic Preston & Steve Show with Hall of Famer, Tommy Lasorda. Rest in peace, Bulldog.
Next Tuesday, Kevin Bacon host the Play On Live event with another Philly native, Eve. We chatted with the actor about the event, plus the wicked MMR shirt he wore on his Monday Blues session earlier this Fall and his Marvel movie Easter Eggs - "nice to be mentioned, but put me in the damn movie!"
"Listen, boy, it's good information from a man who's made mistakes." Billy Joel's words finally make sense as we read over this list of advice for teens from adults who have regret a lot of the decisions they've made. [source]

We spoke to Darien, the guy who captured the whole thing on his phone, who was not aware of what a big deal Wawa is in the Northeast!
Hours before the new trailer dropped we spoke with the director about his menagerie of projects (Army of the Dead, AOTD: Lost Vegas, Justice League) and a few topics very important to us, suicide prevention and the Camp Out For Hunger.
