Ep771 - The Preston & Steve Show, Jerry Banfield, Opie & Ron, Kevin Brennan
Summary
Hosts Carl and Eric Nagel review the Philadelphia morning show "Preston and Steve," criticizing their lack of chemistry, reliance on reading prep sheets, and the poor performance of their young co-host Marissa. The episode highlights technical blunders, such as hitting the wrong sound effects, and mocks the show's mundane segments, including a failed vibrating platform bit and a boring charity interview. The hosts also discuss the origins of their own "Jacktober" tradition and share a parody song mocking a lawyer’s recent social media post about skin cancer.
