  Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Preston
• 0:16
  Super Show. This is the 34th installment of
• 0:21
  the Super news. There is over 300 episodes of
• 0:26
  Preston Super Show across all podcast platforms.
• 0:31
  Listen wherever you like, but make sure you go to Spotify, tap
• 0:35
  follow, and that will be greatly appreciated.
• 0:39
  That helps me get the sponsorships I need to compete
• 0:43
  with the bigger podcast because we are a bigger podcast.
• 0:49
  Let's go. Today we're discussing Honda
• 0:53
  testing a new rocket. The heat wave is here in the
• 0:57
  Midwest heading to the East Coast as well.
• 1:02
  The Dragon Skull has been on the earth.
• 1:07
  I have an economic update for you, and I'm talking all about
• 1:11
  WWE from this week. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
• 1:18
  Preston's Super Show. Let's get into it.
• 1:24
  The famous toy maker may tell, is combining their film and
• 1:32
  television units to form Maytel Studios.
• 1:37
  It said just a couple weeks ago. And this is still very big news,
• 1:41
  in my opinion. The film president of Maytel,
• 1:46
  Robbie Brenner, joined the company back in 2018, was named
• 1:51
  president and chief of the combined unit.
• 1:55
  She will report to the company's chairman and chief executive
• 1:58
  officer. Yanan Cries.
• 2:02
  Here's a quote from Cries. Our vision for Maytel Studios is
• 2:07
  to collaborate with leading creators to make stand out
• 2:11
  quality content based on Maytel's iconic brands that will
• 2:17
  resonate in culture and appeal to global audience.
• 2:20
  And a quote, Maytel's biggest brand is Barbie.
• 2:27
  And the portfolio for Maytel, as you probably know, has Hot
• 2:32
  Wheels, Fisher Price, American Girl, the huge successful dial
• 2:39
  line that they came out with, Matchbox, Masters of the
• 2:44
  Universe, Polly Pocket and everyone's favorite Uno.
• 2:50
  That's a huge roster for Maytel. So this was a no brainer in my
• 2:56
  opinion after seeing the success from the Barbie movie.
• 3:01
  Ultimately Maytel was going in this direction so I thank
• 3:05
  Reuters for that report. Maytel ticker symbol MAT was up
• 3:11
  $0.12 today. It finished at $18.97.
• 3:19
  This is one of my favorite stocks right now to watch.
• 3:23
  Honda Motor Companies Research and Development division has
• 3:30
  done the unthinkable. They have completed a successful
• 3:36
  launch and landing test of a experimental reusable rocket and
• 3:42
  I am absolutely astounded by Honda 4 pushing for a sub
• 3:49
  orbital launch by 2029. This was a first of its kind
• 3:56
  type of test flight and this was a complete success for Honda.
• 4:03
  I will read to you from what I wrote over at my oddman.com.
• 4:08
  You can read this article that's right at the top of the site,
• 4:12
  ticker symbol HMC. Honda's breakthrough in reusable
• 4:18
  rocket technology is the title. Honda is working to secure key
• 4:25
  technologies necessary for a reusable rocket.
• 4:29
  The Honda Research and Development Division conducted a
• 4:33
  successful launch and landing test of an experimental reusable
• 4:38
  rocket. The rocket was developed by
• 4:41
  Honda and went upwards of almost 300 meters.
• 4:46
  This is the first Test of its kind for the Honda brand.
• 4:50
  All of the data garnered by Honda will be used to help their
• 4:53
  efforts for a sub orbital launch by 2029.
• 5:00
  So as you can see, Honda's taking steps in the right
• 5:02
  direction and so was Myod man.com for following up on this
• 5:06
  story. But I want you to subscribe to
• 5:10
  myodman.com when you get time. You can read more articles like
• 5:15
  that and get ready for the newsletter Breaking This Sunday,
• 5:20
  where I released the top five stories in advance for the week
• 5:24
  at hand. It will cost $1.00 to read that
• 5:28
  newsletter per month, but it is called the Big 5.
• 5:35
  Meaning for $5 you can gain access to my newsletter on my
• 5:41
  oddman.com, the Big 5 for $5 for one year.
• 5:47
  So it's up to you. You could pay $12.00 I I can set
• 5:53
  it so you could pay what you want.
• 5:55
  But right now I'm going to try this payment method and see how
• 5:59
  it goes. So if you will support that, I
• 6:02
  greatly appreciate that and I will be monitoring the
• 6:06
  situation. Folks, the heat wave is here.
• 6:10
  We're going to be reaching 100° Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
• 6:16
  Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday into next week with the
• 6:22
  humidity. The heat and humidity combined
• 6:26
  is going to cause a lot of problems.
• 6:30
  So pray for the Midwest all the way to the East Coast.
• 6:33
  The heat wave is here. This is the weather whiplash
• 6:39
  that we've been promised by the weather outlets.
• 6:43
  I'm looking at AccuWeather right now and it is a 84° day outside
• 6:50
  Fahrenheit. Tonight it may get down to 62°,
• 6:55
  but ultimately folks, tomorrow's the last day for a while where
• 7:02
  it's going to be in the 60s at night and Friday night looks
• 7:07
  like it will touch 69°. But if it gets as hot as it's
• 7:12
  predicted, I doubt that. So make sure to water your
• 7:15
  plants, make sure to load up on water yourself, stay hydrated,
• 7:21
  stay safe, stay in the shade, stay cool.
• 7:26
  Don't think you're stronger than the sun and the humidity along
• 7:30
  with the heat. Today I was happy to see we have
• 7:35
  fair air quality near Chicago. So that is good to see.
• 7:41
  And I say that because yesterday was sticky and even inside the
• 7:45
  house with the air on, as soon as the air would kick off, it
• 7:50
  would begin to get a little bit harder to breathe.
• 7:53
  That's just the way the humidity works in the Midwest.
• 7:57
  We have breaking news, exciting news about the dragon skull.
• 8:04
  If you are not subscribed over at sciencenews.org I suggest you
• 8:09
  do make an account. sciencenews.org has been around
• 8:14
  since 1921, but they break a lot of just plain Science News I
• 8:20
  want to read. So the Dragon Man skull may be
• 8:24
  the first from an enigmatic human cousin.
• 8:30
  The 146,000 year old Chinese find is the most complete
• 8:36
  Denisovan fossil 2 studies claim.
• 8:39
  If we have two studies now. This is a report by Bruce Bauer
• 8:44
  over at sciencenews.org. To get down to the meat and
• 8:47
  potatoes of the issue here, researchers initially identified
• 8:53
  Denisovans in 2012 based on DNA extracted from a fossil finger
• 9:00
  fragment found in a Siberian cave, and classified these Asian
• 9:05
  hominoids as close Neanderthal relatives.
• 9:11
  But scientists could not say what Denisovans looked like
• 9:14
  based on a partial finger bone. Since then, only a handful of
• 9:19
  Denisovan fossils have turned up, including a partial lower
• 9:24
  jaw and a rib. But let's look at one important
• 9:30
  fact here. Now, 2 new studies now argue it
• 9:36
  is instead the first ever skull from a Denisovan population,
• 9:43
  although scientists not involved in the new investigations
• 9:48
  disagree on whether enough evidence exists to confirm
• 9:54
  Dragon Man's evolutionary identity.
• 9:59
  So what I want to do is link this story for you right on the
• 10:03
  podcast on myodman.com where I put the podcast up, making great
• 10:07
  time today on this episode. Again, I'm trying to give you a
• 10:11
  great product, something you can walk out of your house with,
• 10:15
  something you can come home to Preston's super show.
• 10:20
  So let's keep it exciting. Let's keep the fun going.
• 10:24
  Good vibes only. What happened to that?
• 10:26
  What happened to good vibes only?
• 10:28
  I'm bringing good vibes only back to Main Street, and we're
• 10:32
  going to do it with the economic update.
• 10:35
  It's a mixed bag as Wall Street usually is.
• 10:39
  The S&P 500 was down almost 2 points today, sits at $5980.87
• 10:48
  TO Dow Jones was down 44 points today, that's still up above
• 10:55
  42,000. The NASDAQ sitting around
• 10:59
  $19,546 was up 25 points today, so that's good to see.
• 11:07
  The Russell was up 11 points, that's at $2112.96.
• 11:16
  Gold took a little bit of a hit today, down $20 on the gold
• 11:21
  market. But we're moving into the golden
• 11:24
  age. Investors have more fear due to
• 11:27
  the Iran and Israel conflict. That is a small scale war, but
• 11:34
  there are some deadly attacks being dished out on both sides.
• 11:39
  I pray for peace. I don't want war, I don't want
• 11:44
  death. I don't like to see dying.
• 11:47
  I'm against war, but I do stand with Israel and I pray for peace
• 11:52
  every night. But the VIX is up and that's up
• 11:57
  two bucks today. So I mean, you know, that's a
• 11:59
  10% gainer on where the VIX was just sitting from the last
• 12:05
  podcast I did. So this is moving in a little
• 12:08
  bit of an unusual direction. So keep an eye on the market,
• 12:13
  folks. Do your own homework.
• 12:16
  I am not a financial licensed advisor.
• 12:21
  Please consult with a financial license advisor before taking
• 12:25
  any risks in the stock market or any big financial purchases.
• 12:32
  Silver is sitting at $36.36 at the end of Thursday session.
• 12:41
  Crude oil that jumped up to $75.80.
• 12:46
  But President Trump played the Trump card and said hold on, I'm
• 12:50
  not making any type of decision about Iran or Israel's war for
• 12:56
  two weeks. So in a way, he curtailed and
• 13:00
  lowered the oil price heading into tomorrow is what
• 13:05
  everybody's hoping for. And that's what the market was
• 13:08
  starting to show at the end of the day as it was only up $0.66.
• 13:13
  But again, these are all projections.
• 13:15
  We won't know until the actual market opens and we see how
• 13:20
  investors start to take shape. Sadly, diesel prices aren't
• 13:26
  looking promising right now. Crypto market had a good pump
• 13:31
  early on today but now it's crashing out.
• 13:34
  So we shall see where crypto ends up by tomorrow morning.
• 13:38
  But right now Bitcoin sits around $104,000 which is still
• 13:44
  extremely promising. And then there's Ethereum, which
• 13:49
  is at $2506.83, so you can see it's holding around $2500 right
• 13:58
  around there. And you have XRP, which is
• 14:02
  getting a lot of hype right now, and that's at $2.16.
• 14:07
  And so Lana, which is also looking promising for a lot of
• 14:12
  people, is at $145.79. That continues to move.
• 14:20
  How Bitcoin and Ethereum move, for all we can tell.
• 14:26
  Canada is warning of higher steel tariffs.
• 14:30
  I believe that has a lot to do with the VIX as well.
• 14:34
  It's possible that's related. There's also a lot of other
• 14:39
  economic news. We have Venezuela's dictator
• 14:43
  Maduro locking up economist that are sharing data about the
• 14:48
  country's decline. That's not good.
• 14:53
  Flying cars are not only a huge bet that's being made right now
• 14:59
  by all different types of individuals and organizations,
• 15:02
  but it's all the rage on Bloomberg today.
• 15:05
  Soon as the markets ended, that was their go to.
• 15:10
  President Trump kept the oil prices steady with his two week
• 15:14
  announcement on the Iran Israel war.
• 15:18
  And also Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel says he
• 15:23
  doesn't need America's help to target nuclear enrichment
• 15:28
  facilities in Iran. So that hopefully helps cool
• 15:34
  investors fears in the market tomorrow for the big Friday
• 15:38
  splash before the weekend and happy Juneteenth to everyone as
• 15:44
  well. It's time for sports.
• 15:50
  I was very happy with WWE Evolve, but when I look at WWE
• 15:57
  Raw this past week, too much talking.
• 16:01
  Come on, where everybody has to cut a promo now.
• 16:05
  One week after attacking WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, Liv
• 16:10
  Morgan found herself in a face to face with Women's World
• 16:14
  Champion EO Skye. The most that came out of that
• 16:18
  was Liv Morgan and Dominic Mysterio being tossed out of the
• 16:25
  ring by EO Skye. But then we add Asuka step into
• 16:31
  the limelight because she defeated Stephanie Vacker, Ivy
• 16:36
  Nile, who's one of my favorites because she just came up on
• 16:40
  WWENXT. When all the cards are stacked
• 16:44
  against her. She's so much smaller than the
• 16:46
  other opponents, but she has the muscle to make up for the size
• 16:52
  differential. And then you have Raquel
• 16:54
  Rodriguez who was in this match and she performed very well.
• 17:00
  In my opinion, Stephanie Vackers did the best in this match.
• 17:03
  But Asuka won because I think that in this tournament for the
• 17:09
  Queen of the Ring tournament, and this was a semi finals
• 17:14
  round. And when you break it down and
• 17:17
  get down to brass tacks, Asuka has the ceiling out of these
• 17:22
  women here when you're talking about what's today and what's
• 17:26
  tomorrow. Then the rumor started swirling
• 17:31
  because one of my personal favorites, Bill Goldberg, shows
• 17:35
  up the WWE Hall of Famer, really the WCW Hall of Famer.
• 17:41
  Because when WWE Monday Night Raw was getting a little bit
• 17:47
  dull sometimes, I was checking out what WCW was doing and here
• 17:52
  comes Bill Goldberg. But the rumors really swirl
• 17:55
  around Bill Goldberg's son that is expected to make AWWE debut
• 18:03
  very soon here. But As for Bill Goldberg, he
• 18:07
  challenged the best in the business, who I've been ranting
• 18:12
  and raving about when I talk about the WWE.
• 18:16
  Gunther, the World Heavyweight Champion to a match on July 12th
• 18:25
  where Goldberg is going to face off against the Ring General on
• 18:30
  Saturday night's Main event, July 12th.
• 18:33
  Book it then. AJ Styles was up against JD
• 18:39
  McDonough, who has returned. New look.
• 18:41
  Same guy match look like it might be over in the top
• 18:46
  turnbuckle and JD Mcdonough's going to come out with a win.
• 18:50
  But AJ Styles turn the tide. Got the crowd high as he always
• 18:55
  does since TNA days, and he overcame JD McDonough with a
• 19:00
  Styles Clash and he's holding up the belt.
• 19:04
  He's holding up the belt, taunting Dominic Mysterio and
• 19:10
  Finn Balor, taunting him. And you could tell WWE is so
• 19:15
  funny because they are littering the ring with all of these
• 19:19
  sponsorships. I see a cash App logo, I see the
• 19:23
  Prime logo. I think it's like what?
• 19:26
  What? There's like a slim jam in the
• 19:27
  middle. This is great.
• 19:30
  This is perfect for WWE. So then we have a week after
• 19:36
  Bailey made her jaw-dropping return, right?
• 19:40
  Wow. Then we have an attack on the
• 19:43
  Women's Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch.
• 19:47
  The role model is now face to face with the man in a woman's
• 19:55
  Intercontinental War of Words. So that's going to be a huge
• 20:00
  development. Stay tuned for all of that.
• 20:05
  You will see the women's division continue to be thriving
• 20:08
  in the WWE. Jay USO defeated Seamus Rusev
• 20:15
  and Bronson Reed who returned recently too and you will see
• 20:23
  this King of the Ring tournament start to heat up now that the
• 20:26
  semi finals are over with and the next round will start.
• 20:31
  It's going to put a lot of the top talent against each other in
• 20:37
  this next match. So you're going to see LA
• 20:40
  Knight, Penta and Sami Zayn all coming face to face with Jay USO
• 20:49
  and each other in some way or another.
• 20:52
  And I think that Seth Rollins showing up, Cody Rhodes showing
• 20:59
  up, and then the Bloodline somewhere in the background just
• 21:04
  adds all of these suspense. And I'm very excited for that
• 21:09
  part of Raw. But I did want more from the
• 21:14
  beginning of Raw. Overall, it was a great episode.
• 21:18
  If I had to give it a grade, I'd say that was an A minus.
• 21:22
  I'll be fair. I won't be too critical of them.
• 21:25
  I love the WWE, so I'm not mad at all.
• 21:28
  I just thought that off the bat, if you're on Netflix, I mean,
• 21:32
  let's go wild. I don't know what you know, What
• 21:34
  are you waiting around for again?
• 21:37
  You can catch RAW on Netflix Monday night, 7:00 PM Central
• 21:42
  time. Let's talk about WWE NXT, my
• 21:46
  favorite brand or was my favorite brand.
• 21:48
  I'm really starting to like Evolve.
• 21:50
  But the thing about Evolve is it's only like 4849 minutes.
• 21:56
  They need some more people to jump over there and do some
• 21:59
  work. They're so focused on house
• 22:02
  shows. Let's focus on Evolve a little
• 22:04
  bit, folks. So we had WWE and XT.
• 22:09
  This was on Tuesday and we had some very good matches here.
• 22:16
  Let's kick it off with the women's Jada Parker defeated
• 22:20
  Thea Hall in the Evolution Eliminator.
• 22:22
  It's like a variation of the women's King of the Ring Lash
• 22:29
  legend. The always gracious Lash Legend
• 22:33
  defeated Kalani Jordan. Great match.
• 22:36
  This was one of my favorite matches on the show because
• 22:39
  these two women are about the same size in every aspect.
• 22:45
  So it seemed like this was a great match up and Lash Legend
• 22:49
  came out on top. But the thing about Lash Legend
• 22:53
  is I love her personality. Then we have Luca Crucifino who
• 23:04
  accidentally maybe slugs Tony DeAngelo in a chaotic scene.
• 23:11
  It's one of those times where NXT is showing you the dawn of
• 23:17
  NXT Tony B and sometimes it does get a little wild.
• 23:24
  So you have Josh Briggs, Yoshiki Inumara and Elijah who go up
• 23:31
  against the TNA World Champions. Remember they have that little
• 23:34
  contract where TNA could come over and work with NXT.
• 23:39
  It's like a little wrinkle in the fold.
• 23:43
  The TNA World Champion Tric Williams, Wesley and AJ Francis
• 23:51
  in the six man tag team match made a very interesting night
• 23:58
  for WWE NXT. I suggest you watch that match
• 24:03
  anytime Wesley is involved. It's going to be high octane,
• 24:08
  fast-paced, a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm, but
• 24:13
  ultimately him. The TNA Champion Tric Williams
• 24:18
  and AJ Francis were defeated when Yoshiki and Umara penned
• 24:24
  Tric Williams to win this six man tag team match.
• 24:28
  Josh Briggs had some great contributions and Elijah was
• 24:33
  also very well involved in this match.
• 24:36
  Everybody got a fair shake here. Izzy Dame defeated Zaria in the
• 24:43
  Evolution Eliminator. Again, this is identical to the
• 24:48
  Women's King of the Ring. I think this was a good fight,
• 24:54
  didn't go that long. I just think it was a good fight
• 24:56
  and you'll see when you go back and watch the replay, Paxley
• 25:03
  appear at ringside while so Ruka was down there.
• 25:09
  Then you see Jordan Grace come out and face off against Lola
• 25:13
  Vice and they're making quick pace of this Evolution
• 25:17
  eliminator Jordan Grace defeats Lola Vice and now you have to
• 25:24
  decide what you're going to do with the people who lose in this
• 25:27
  tournament. Then there's Fatal Influence
• 25:31
  that smash Blake Monroe through a table to end WWENXT for the
• 25:39
  night. And when I was going to WWE
• 25:43
  Evolve looking for the results, it was taking me to Tubi.
• 25:48
  On the WWE websites you would go to results and it take you to
• 25:51
  the Toby episode. So they really want you to watch
• 25:56
  and I have been in this episode. I took my own results.
• 26:01
  So we had Kelly Armstrong and Natalia and Kelly Armstrong is
• 26:07
  the Women's evolved champion. Natalia will be a Hall of Famer,
• 26:14
  they defeat Zeta Steel and Nikita Lyons.
• 26:16
  Nikita wasn't very involved in this match sadly and Zeta Steel
• 26:21
  was very involved but end up getting submitted by Natalia
• 26:26
  after Natalia locked in the sharpshooter and Kelly Armstrong
• 26:32
  had like 4 different tags with Natalia that were accidental so
• 26:38
  they both want the spotlight basically.
• 26:41
  Then we have Marcus Mathers in his debut Eminem.
• 26:45
  The new Eminem defeated Jordan Oasis, and I'm rooting for this
• 26:50
  new Eminem. Jordan Oasis has been around for
• 26:55
  a little minute here and at the end of this one, Marcus Mathers
• 27:00
  had put on a pretty impressive display of athleticism and being
• 27:06
  able to handle himself in the spotlight.
• 27:10
  I really do think that he has a high ceiling if he sticks with
• 27:14
  it, as well as Jordan Oasis, who continues to not have a problem
• 27:21
  with putting people over. Now, Keanu Carver ran down to

  the ring after bashes them both, tosses them out, cuts a promo.
• 27:33
  So that was, you know, something to pay attention to.
• 27:37
  Then we have the Vanity Project in this group comes out against
• 27:45
  one guy, Sean Legacy. Legacy defeats 2 members of the
• 27:49
  Vanity Project. It's going to be a gauntlet.
• 27:51
  He has to fight all of them, but the big boot finishes them off
• 27:56
  of Bryce Donovan. He penned Ricky smokes Brad
• 28:02
  Baylor, but Bryce Donovan ends the fun.
• 28:08
  Then the Vanity Project begins to stomp out poor old Sean
• 28:13
  Legacy trying to remove his legacy and Lance Dorado comes to
• 28:20
  the rescue and they think oh what are you going to do against
• 28:24
  us 4? So they jump in the ring to deal
• 28:27
  with him and the LWO shows up and puts AB down on the Vanity
• 28:34
  Project to close out the night of WWE Evolved on Wednesday.
• 28:41
  So that was a great episode. I encourage you to go to Tubey
• 28:45
  and watch it. The WWE really wants you to.
• 28:49
  Heck, your buddy Preston really wants you to watch it.
• 28:54
  And then come back to Preston Super Show and we'll hash it
• 28:58
  out. A brand new show is out.
• 29:02
  You should absolutely watch it. It's called The Expedition
• 29:06
  Files, and this new series focuses on adventurer Josh
• 29:12
  Gates, who's traveling through history on a search to uncover
• 29:18
  new evidence and answers to the world's most captivating and
• 29:23
  unexplained mysteries. They're looking at the Havana
• 29:27
  Syndrome, mysterious brain injuries, the alien abduction of
• 29:32
  Travis Walton, the Lindenbergh baby kidnapping.
• 29:36
  But let me tell you something, folks, he's already found
• 29:39
  something. All of these Curse of Oak Island
• 29:43
  and Haunting of Neptune and all of these different places they
• 29:47
  run into can't find anything in a minor shaft and he goes out
• 29:52
  boom, finds it's right over here.
• 29:54
  You guys were looking over there.
• 29:56
  Go watch the expedition files on Discovery or and on Max.
• 30:02
  Now I will leave you with the headlines before signing off for
• 30:08
  the night. Dee Moravsky from the European
• 30:12
  Union is trying to reach a negotiation with President Trump
• 30:16
  after he has seen that the United Kingdom and Kier Starmer
• 30:21
  had reached an agreement with President Trump on a trade deal
• 30:25
  and it has been signed as of the G7 conference which was
• 30:29
  concluded. The futures are looking grim
• 30:32
  right now, but I remain optimistic.
• 30:37
  California's utility companies are cutting off power to some
• 30:41
  individuals due to wind, extremely high winds.
• 30:45
  Please pray for Mexico as Hurricane Eric is beginning to
• 30:51
  devastate them. The good news is the crypto
• 30:54
  market is beginning to rally, so hopefully that encourages a lot
• 30:59
  of people. Ladies and gentlemen, just like
• 31:03
  the hands of time, I'm turning it over to you.
• 31:07
