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."

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 MMR*B*Q 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. 

You just hit a 2 run walk-off homerun in your first MLB career game - what are you going to do? "Call Preston & Steve!" 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.

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.
