93-3-WMR Audio on Demand presents the Preston and Steve Show podcast.

Tip for you this morning in particular, Kathy, do not go in the bathroom today.

Why?

No, there's no water.

There's no water.

Are people still pooping and leaving it in there?

Just doing number one at least, but that smell, the men's bathroom? Have you gone's been in there? No, I refuse to. It's terrible. Yeah. It smells like a kitty litter box. It just reeks of urine. And I know you in particular, I'd back off of the liquids. Okay. Well, now my concept of actually having a human litter box here doesn't seem so stupid, doesn't. It's nasty. So I thought I'd pass that okay, thank you. Warning for me. All right, so our next guest appeared on both the U.S. and U.K. versions of whose line is it anyway, both awesomely funny shows. Yes. I loved both versions of that. Please welcome Mr. Greg Proofs to our show. Yes. Hello, Philadelphia. Good morning, Greg. I've really never followed the broken bathroom a warning before. That's pretty exciting, man.

We want to appreciate it. Break new ground for you this morning. Yeah, thank you, man. Where are you originally from, by the way? Back off, is the answer to that question, for Austin. Why don't you take five, bro, hey? Wow. I'm from San Francisco, man. I'm in San Francisco. Really? From San Francisco? Yeah. But you ended up, as far as whose line is it anyway, the UK version was first before, obviously, Drew Carey hosted the show here. Yes. Before the dead weight, yes. Is that what you lovingly refer to him as the dead weight? Well, he's thin now, so it's formerly two and a half men, right? Yeah. But you went over to the UK? I did, yeah. We, uh, they came to San Francisco and audition, thank goodness. And then I went over there. I lived there for about five years. And I was just there a couple weeks ago, in fact, working again. And you've worked a fair amount over there, and I was reading a bit about your transition over to England and working there.

How long before you got down some of the local vernacular?

I mean, because there's things, there's nuance involved to making people laugh over there that you're sure you had to become aware of.

How long before you picked up on it?

Well, I mean, I did like four tours in a row there in about a million Edinburgh festivals, so fairly quickly. It's like trial by fire. You fail a couple times on stage, and you learn very quickly that it's windscreen and chemist. Was there a point in time? That you say boot instead of truth. Right, right, right. And you can say bum a fag there and it means something entirely different. Was there a point in time which somebody did come in? You say, could you come over here, you know, that means. No, no, no, I picked it up pretty quick. You know, as soon as you're there, the one thing you can't pick up is the accent. You don't want to be Madonna. You know what I mean? I lived there for five years and all of a sudden you don't want to be talking like this too.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. People are like, where are you from? The middle of the Atlantic. Right. So no, as my wife said to me, they want you to be American. That's why you're there. And that's what I have to sell when I'm there is that I'm not one of them. So I have some perspective on them. Sure.

And I think that's what they like about it.

We have a new show now on ABC.

It was on Wednesday night.

I caught a bit of it, yeah. Justice with you live. That's a new improv show we're doing. And it's, it has some of the similar aspects plus a couple of new things. The show offy block guys on it, Wayne Brady, the older fellow, Colin, I think his name is. He's on it. And I'm on it. Jonathan Mangum, who's Wayne Brady's biotch. He's on it as well. And Fred Willard is the host. It was pretty fun. We had Serena Williams on the other night, fresh from her Wimbledon victory. We shot it in England last year. I have no idea why. But we did. But it shows in America. How is Wayne brady do you like working with him i do he's a very

gentle lover and uh he doesn't uh well he's he's he's quite a funny guy well worst interview we've ever had

ever in the history in the 15 some odd years of show oh way and yeah was he here live or was it on

no it's on the phone and just not engaging, not interested. Not nice.

Not nice. Wow. Yeah. Man, I'm going to call him. And there are a few other friends of mine in the radio industry who concurred with that as well. So am I being blamed for the sins of the show off in black eyes? No, no, no. You came in here. You're good. In my purity with my incandescence, ready to show nothing but love and beneficence, the laying out of hands, the curing of people, and I, like it's tarred with the Wayne Brady brush. You've already reached God like that. No, no, we want to say. No, maybe he was having a bad morning. You know, sometimes if his fruit loops are stale or whatever, he'll just throw it.

Hissy.
