Hope you had a lovely break.

[Big Dick Toledo]

It's also little Christmas.

[Brady]

What's that mean?

[Big Dick Toledo]

It's the 12th day after. Oh, the December 25th, basically. So the Amish celebrated and it goes back to the.

[Brady]

They're not listening.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Gregory and Calendar.

[Brady]

Okay, well, we're not talking about the Amish, are we? They're not. So they go, hey, they brought us up. And we're not supposed to be listening to this.

[Larry McFeely]

Go home, watch Witness.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Anyone in Ireland.

[Brady]

Yeah, Witness is on a little Christmas list. That's the little Christmas. Yes. They're Allowed to watch Witness on their tv. Do they even have one? Anyway, hi, my name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, and Big Dick Toledo's around here somewhere, ready to go for 2025 and beyond once again. And all I care to talk to you guys about over the last 14 plus days that we were gone is the Arizona State Sun Devils and the absolute. Well, say it. I'll stop be the first to say it in 2025. The absolute ass they received on national television right there in front of everybody. And if you still like college football after that, you're a whore idiot. Because what they did was prove to you that it'll never be any teams that they don't want in their championships, in their finals and anything else. If the roles. If you watch that game with it. Did you watch the thing with Arizona State? It was atrocious. It was absolutely atrocious. If Texas has that same play happen to them where the, where the guy gets hit smack in the face by the crown of the helmet of an ASU player that they get the call every time, they did not know that game was going to be close. They didn't want it to be close. And when it was close, the Sun Devils got just raped on tv and they're like, oh well, Texas is a heritage school. Put them right through. And it was a joke. Asu, they earned a lot of morals.

[Big Dick Toledo]

So the refs helped them on the fourth and 12 play to.

[Brady]

Well, it wasn't a zero blitz there. Doesn't mean. I know you're a fan of crap football. It doesn't mean that all calls were perfect and ASU played a perfect game.

[Big Dick Toledo]

That was a horrible.

[Brady]

That next thing you're talking about would not have happened. It's just not a thing that you sit back and say. It wouldn't have gone to overtime. More than likely they'd have had a field goal after the 15 yard penalty and it would have won the game in regulation.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Right.

[Brady]

So you're talking about an overtime play later when. Yeah, maybe the 4th and 12 call that they do a zero blitz and it was dumb. Wouldn't have occurred. But maybe also, you know, you don't. You're not in your right mind anymore because you're like, we're getting screwed. They're taking the game from us. They literally on television just announced what they do every year. The reason I hate college football is here's the seven or eight teams we love in September that it's their job to lose. We're going to Put Alabama with three losses ahead of ASU all year long in their rankings all year long. A team that ended up getting bounced out of the Mayonnaise bowl by Michigan, a 6 and 6 crap team, and bounced out of that. And they've been ranked higher than Arizona State, who never got higher than 14th because they started at 123rd. Because there's a group of people that constantly want the same exact thing for college football every single year. And they act like this playoff is something more, you know, know, fair and everything else. All it is is a bigger money machine. The last thing they wanted was tiny little Arizona State in the Final Four to get trounced, which would have happened by Ohio State this weekend. They'd get. Or whenever it is, they'd get killed by Ohio State. They're just not in that echelon yet. Although they should have been killed by Texas. Yeah, they would have. You're saying that because you're. You don't want to admit that that's true with Ohio State would kill Arizona State. They're just their 20 million dollar roster. There's no Frost. There's no reason for Arizona State to even be on a field with them. The way it's worked, it just isn't. But good news for Arizona State fans is that this thing, you walk away with some notoriety. Kenny Dillingham, who I had no faith in when they hired him, I'm like, Jesus, they don't want to just hire some. Some, you know, they hired a fan and it's worked out like this guy has brought national attention to them. And I think they got a lot of eyes open. But man, watching football at that point you're just like, well, this is all whatever they want it to be. It'll be started with the field goal bounce. The bounce, yeah. And that's the other thing. That's kind of a weird one. They kicked a field goal that actually bounced off the T through the uprights. And you know, they said it was no good because it hit the ground, but the technical rule is that's a live ball the whole way through. And if it took a wicked hop and went through the uprights, it's still good. And they just waved it off. And nobody knew until like three days later when some idiot kids on the Internet were like, you know, that ball went through, that's still a. Anyway, and that one I can. Nobody knew that, right?

[Big Dick Toledo]

They're just watching it hit the ground.

[Brady]

The targeting play that happened. Horrible, horrible. If you're gonna have a call, that is a Dude. And the dude's off the ground, his face is in the other guy. So the Arizona State had a guy get kicked out of half of the game that they played against Texas because he did that against Iowa State four weeks ago. And they're like, you can't play the first half of the game. You got kicked out of the last one for what was less than what is terrible. So Arizona State, and here's a guy me don't care at all about Arizona State football. I'm not sitting there as a super fan going, golly, I would. I did not care if they lost that game.

[Larry McFeely]

Nice.

[Brady]

But it would have been nice. That's about it. I didn't care. I'm not going to pretend to have followed Arizona State football. They're fun to watch. I got my eyes on them. I'm not going to sit back and wear the maroon and gold and wave a flag or anything. But as a, as an innocent, non committed bystander, I just watched and said, well, that's why college football sucks right there. That's the very reason this corrupt pile of crap has never fixed itself for ages and will continue to giggle and smoke cigars while the same six teams constantly churn out the same games annually.

[Larry McFeely]

Do these rankings and they just basically pull them out of their asses. They go, I mean, preseason rank.

[Brady]

Yes.

[Larry McFeely]

I mean I don't. You know, you said they were 123rd, 14.

[Brady]

Yeah. They couldn't get a panel that gets together.

[Larry McFeely]

So they just decide and then you know what?

[Brady]

Yeah, they do you ever watch the south park where they have the Genius bar at Best Buy?

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

And they just sit around this orb that nobody knows and then answers come to them. That's essentially what the college football group. It's terrible. It's just terrible. And they. The last thing they could think of at that moment was Arizona State moving on. They were doing anything they could to keep that from happening. And you go back and review that play, the guy, you know, might get help.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Let FanDuel rank the teams beforehand.

[Brady]

Sure.

[Big Dick Toledo]

They seem like they got the.

[Brady]

Well, just, you know. Well, Fanduel couldn't have missed that one. I mean Vegas couldn't have missed the ASU game more. They were 14 point underdogs. So that's the only win in that thing. But yeah, that was the most frustrating part of the entire situation for Christmas break was Arizona State actually won that game.

[Big Dick Toledo]

It'll be interesting to see if they change anything. There's. Because the way right now you win your.

[Brady]

Who would Give me a reason why they would change anything. Give me a reason for money, which is all this is about. Give me a reason why they change anything that just happened.

[Big Dick Toledo]

I don't know the alignment in the brackets.

[Brady]

Nope. They just went wipe the sweat off their brow.

[Big Dick Toledo]

One seeds, the one that wins their division.

[Brady]

You're acting like a fan that actually thinks they care. What they cared about was getting the next group of teams in that actually get you good television ratings that are. That are well traveled teams that have been in this mix for years. They built this. They've baked this pie for years.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Not the 4600 that came out to watch the Bahamas Bowl.

[Brady]

They don't want. They don't care about the attendance either, by the way. They care about the sponsorships. On top of the sponsorships, the Bahama bowl has a sponsor and then it's in the Capital One Bowl Series. It's all about. They don't care about the attendance of any of these games. But what they care about is not getting ingredients to their pie that they didn't expect. Arizona State was a bunch of salt and an apple pie that they baked a long time ago. And Texas is supposed to be in that piece. And it makes them look stupid if Texas gets bounced out. They had Texas as a preseason favorite. They kept Texas in there the whole year as a team that was supposed to be there. It makes them look bad. If Texas loses to Arizona State, you get rid of Arizona State first chance you get. If you got an opportunity to bounce them out, you do it. They're getting too close. Let's scratch that itch. It was terrible. And anybody who says it wasn't rigged or fixed did not watch the end of that game at all. Period. End of story. It's just fact of the matter. You can't watch that. Even a Texas fan that I know, and I didn't even know I had a friend who was a Texas fan. He's like, robbery. Don't even want to watch the next game. He goes, our team has no business in there. Well, that was a loss. And I'm like, whoa. And then you still have to say, yes, you would. Had to hit that kick. But that's been on my mind since I went over to Kevin Ray's house to watch that. Guess who I brought with me. Lovet. That was a strange day. Let me tell you that. Lovett's wanted to do something day after New Year's. Let's go down like I'm going to Kevin. Kevin Ray asked me to go to his house. I was supposed to, and Hopkins did too, but Kevin asked me first. So I went over to Kevin Ray's house and I brought Lovitz and his dog. And Dale Hellestray was there. And it was weird. It was a fever dream of strange. It was like a Fellini movie with a football game in the background. There's a dog dressed in a sailor suit. I'm not kidding. That's what Lovett's dressed up. His dog Jerry in a sailor suit. Dale Hellestray, Frankendale, Kevin Ray, sons broadcaster Chris Harris and their buddy, whose name I forgot just now, and me. And we all watched in the kitchen, which was even stranger. Yeah, because it was just all sat in the kitchen table. There's a big TV in the other room. We watched in the kitchen. It was very strange. It was nice, though. But yeah, nobody walked out of there and said, well, nice try. Everybody walked out of the upset. So for. For the last seven days, it's been just an egregious nightmare. And I was the one saying, well, if you like college football, you support this kind of crap. This is all about all it's ever been about. A. The slave trade. For years, college football was all about the slave trade. They auditioned slaves for the big annual slave draft that happens every April in the NFL. And they did free labor for four years so guys could get big and fat off of that. And they did it for. For dirt, saying it was for an education. But all these guys were leaving in two years and they're like, what's. Where's the education? Oh, they got a free. Okay, you use free labor and you sold shirts. Now they're not doing that. Now they're actually having to pay them in weird ways. And if they're going to do that, if they're going to start paying these students and Ohio State has a 20 million dollar payroll, do you think that they're going to get bounced out by Arizona State? It's not some team that comes in and throws a wrench into the entire system. Like, no, no. It's supposed to be these four teams. We told you that back in September. We've been telling you all year long who's going to be there. We don't need this crap. Get them out of here.

[Larry McFeely]

So it's like WWE almost.

[Brady]

It's already scripted. WWE admits it. So college football is 10 times worse because they're pretending and they always have the reason. I've hated them. Oh, that's true. And the love of the game, sports.

[Big Dick Toledo]

What the main teams that are always in there. It's always the 20%.

[Brady]

They're not fixing it. They like in the professional ranks, it.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Always seems like the big markets are the ones that are.

[Brady]

But the NFL is. Other than Kansas City, the NFL is a behemoth. It's not big markets. It's Baltimore, Kansas City. It's. It's whoever gets in. That's what the NFL's.

[Big Dick Toledo]

The beauty of the NFL always are the dominance.

[Brady]

Well run, period, end of story. And it doesn't. They're not looking to. To have certain teams in and certain teams out. The NFL is a television behemoth. No matter who's playing, if they're good, it's the biggest thing on TV. It's the number one show on TV every year for the last 14 years. They don't have to fix their ratings. Arizona State sneaks in. Baseball has the same problem. Basketball has the same problem. If basketball has Cleveland vs. Oklahoma City in the finals, which is the way it's leaning right now, nobody's watching that.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, the Arizona Rangers, the D backs.

[Brady]

Dive back Rangers, nobody watched that thing. If they could have fixed it easier, they would have. But football, NFL is just. That's. That's why it's so great. It's like they're like, they've got it all mapped out to be like, hey, whoever shows up, shows up, let's make it work. And I don't see them fixing games for the Giants and Jets. That ain't happening. Those are the two biggest markets they've got. But they can withstand all that. And Giants and Jets would be too hard to try to fix 20 games a year. So anyway, ASU tip the cap to a hell of a season. But boy, what a ripoff. What an absolute gyp. A jip, I tells you. And I felt bad for him because they walked off. And Kenny Dillingham was perfect at the end of the game, like, how do you feel? And he goes, I don't even know what targeting is. Explain it to me. I don't even know what it is anymore. It was rough. It was a rough one. Outside of that, all the vacation was was getting sick. Everyone I knew, I spent time sick. And I didn't know I got sick for four days. Just sat and coughed and hacked and had my whole head fail. Every. I had earwax falling out of my ears. Like everything that has a hole was leaking something. And I don't know, it happened literally at a dinner, I looked at my friend Chris Catero and I said, I'm sick. Starting right now. And I was fine. Five seconds ago. I cleared my throat. My throat went dead raw. I'm like, something's really bad. Spent the evening pretending. Next four days, I was out of my ass. I have two friends who got sick early, like right before Christmas, got better and are sick again right now.

[Larry McFeely]

It's going. Something's going.

[Brady]

It's. Yeah, it's nasty. Everybody's got stuff. So I spent a good portion of the time being sick. I'm also going to spend 2025. My new. My new thing for 2025 is I'm not doing any more of this. I've faked it for 24 years of this bedtime nonsense. I'm going all nights and the show is going to be the last thing I do in a day. That's it. I'm staying. That's right. Now is when I was going to bed for the last two weeks. And so I'm done with that.

Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, now that it's getting warmer, I turned on the AC in my car and the air's blowing. Kind of cool, but it really smells like a.

[Brady]

What can I do about that, Larry? Your car's AC system should be checked and serviced every year. Plus, replacing the cabin air filter helps the air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell. Nice.

[Brady]

53342 Homeburg's morning sickness this force myself to go to bed like an 8 year old at 10. Last night was, was shameful and sad as an adult male. It's like I gotta go to bed. I gotta go. I'm not doing that anymore. I'm staying up 20, 25. I don't know how long this is gonna last but I'm gonna go ahead and and pull the all night schedule. Yeah. And I'm just gonna do the show and then I'm gonna finish up here with whatever and go home and go to bed and sleep days away because there's nothing good happens during the day ever.

[Big Dick Toledo]

It's the opposite of night.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Days like most people go. Nothing good. No, no. Nights are. Nights are when Everybody has to. TV's good. That's when they start showing good TV. The sports, the good sports are on at night on the weekends. I can tolerate hanging out watching a football game in the middle of the day. But they start everything. Everything good starts about 6:00. I'll be up by then. I'm doing, I'm doing the Brett's gathering.

[Larry McFeely]

I understand.

[Brady]

Yeah. I'm not. I can't do this anymore. But that bedtime last night, so my arms were folded. I was mad. 10 o'clock rolled around and I had Betty by. Yeah. I'm gonna put my pajamas on and I'm like I'm Betty by. No more bedtimes. That's my 2025. I don't know how long this Lasts. I don't know if I can uproot my system that much, that long. But it's. I'm an adult man and I have a bedtime that's over. That crap ends now. And speaking of football and there's a Lions fans who said, stop ignoring the important news, stop being a coward and talk about what's real. You have a platform and you can use it, you coward. The atrocities that happen. You talk about ASU, not important. The Lions are 15 and 2. It's like, yes, I understand. There's other things happen in the. Over the break. One of them, a couple nut bags decided to go crazy there on New Year's Day and blow up a cyber truck in front of Trump Tower. I still don't get that one. And then the videos that keep coming out that, that dude that drove through New Orleans at 3 in the morning on Bourbon street. And just, you know what's bad about like watching that? The news and stuff. It's not better. There's no morality in showing me the truck right before it hit somebody. You know, they show it speeding down the road and then they go, we froze it right before a lady's about to get plastered. Like she's almost a hood ornament. She's an inch from the truck. And the news took it upon themselves to say, we're not going to show you the rest of this.

[Larry McFeely]

That's a ct.

[Brady]

It's like you guys think you did me a favor by showing that thing almost hit about 30 people. And then when it was gonna. Then we froze it for your sake like you horrible human beings. There is one video of that truck going down Bourbon street and there is a beautiful red headed lady standing on the sidewalk that if she didn't get clipped by the side mirror, I don't know how. And she stands in. Like she gets out of there. It is, it's like, like she's been moved like a, like a chess piece. But just barely. Not paying any attention. Just barely walks that truck, missed her by an inch. She spins, stands and runs into a building. Like she runs right into the, the open door of this place. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Like she should have been the first one clubbed. Of course then the news freezes it right before the lady that did get plastered. And they're like, we're good people. We're not going to show you the rest of this. But we showed you the horror up into that point. It makes you just see all the soft targets that we sit at. I Went to the Suns game. A couple of them that were over the break. The softest. And I'll tell the bad guys out there, the softest target in this city is every night before a Suns game right in that plaza where they make us all gather to go through security before they open. Well, it's security. Security causes the soft target. No, it's not before they open. It's. It's. They're open, but you have to log jam through their system. Yeah. And there's 12,000 people standing in one spot in a wide open plaza. And it would be real easy to just pop right up that sidewalk and jump in there and. And start plowing. And not to mention the tall buildings of apartments that sit there with open windows that look right down onto that plaza. Mine, I have the H and H ranch. I've said it a million times. I'm like, I can open this window, and if I have terrible intentions, I take out 25 people before they even know what window it's coming out.

[Diane Fisher]

One of the first things you said to me when I went up there for the first time. Yeah, here's the window that I can look at.

[Brady]

Here's death window. Yep. Look. Yeah. If I open this up and I look at that plaza for a vet. So we become soft targets. We've got to stop doing that. And the fact. And the fastest way to stop being soft targets is to open the doors and let us in the building. Security is, you know, we'll notice it. Dude. Hopefully you just get. You can get your metal detectors inside the building, but if somebody's gonna, you know, strap up a bomb or bring a gun into a sun's game, they're gonna do their damage right there on that plaza. They're not gonna go through security. You've created a bigger target for them. It just doesn't make any sense.

[Larry McFeely]

Basically, you have the book depository right at your.

[Brady]

I could Lee Harvey that thing all day long. And I'm sitting there, and I'm not the only one. There's 40 windows that do the exact same thing mine does. At least there's a hotel, for God's sakes, right next to it. I don't know if those windows open, but that didn't stop the Mandalay Bay guys. So let's just keep piling people up and. And making them feel good about one at a time through a giant arena, because that's why I'm blown away. So I kind of have that mental mindset when I go to the Suns games to kind of Stand over in the corner or be the last one. And I'm fine with that. I'll get in there when I get in there. I'm not going to stand in that pile and wait until. Oh, yeah, we created these. Every arena, it happens up there at. At the football stadium too, where they just. They pile up out in front. Concerts, things like that, where they make us all go through one entrance.

[Diane Fisher]

There's a bunch of choke points at the stadium here.

[Brady]

It's crazy.

[Diane Fisher]

They make you go through the little one and then you fan out and then they correct you again.

[Brady]

There needs to be just 150 new doors all the way around the arena and everybody kind of can get. Just flood us in there faster. It's crazy. But yeah, those. Those moments that we sit back and we try to have nice holidays and things like that. We can't have nice things anymore because everybody's a lunatic. There's too many lunatics. And we coddle lunatics. We need 20, 25. We need to open up more insane asylums. And people start acting goofy. We tell on them and we put them in there. You start acting a little nutty. You start. You go on Facebook a couple times and talk about killing your family and maybe joining isis. I don't know. You're going to a home for a few days, that's all. It seems reasonable to me. I don't know who's fighting this. We can't put him in his mental health. Like, right, he joined isis. The dude needs to take a few plays off. Any of your friends that say, I'm thinking about joining isis, get him in a home quick. Like, there's no reason to continue that conversation. And then he joined isis. Wait, who? My friend Mark. Anyway, he's going through a tough time with his wife, joined isis. I'm like, what, he's still going to work? Well, yeah, he's responsible for his kids. No, he sits, plays out. We put him in the long coat. No, we sit and go, well, he did tell us he was joining isis. I'm like, why didn't you pricks tell anybody? Well, what are we supposed to do? He's believe him. Well, believe it, believe it. If I tell you, hey, I'm having a rough go at home, thinking about radicalizing a little bit and going and joining isis. You'd be like, oh, John's really having a tough time. It's time to sit him down. You can't have that.

[Larry McFeely]

Poor little fellow.

[Brady]

Yeah, people feel bad, like, oh, man, geez. You hear about Mahak Muhammad Muhammad Mahak. He's joining isis. Like, no kidding. That guy? That crazy guy with the 55 names? We can't say. Yeah, well, you know, he's in the military. Oh. So he's super well trained and he's switching teams and you guys want him to keep coming into the Costco? I don't think this is a good idea. I think it's time to put him in the long coat today. Open up all those insane asylums again and start stuffing people in them. I'm all for freedom of speech until you say something like, I'm joining isis. And then I'm like, you're free to say it, but I think we might put you in a house. I think that's going to happen next. It's pretty easy. Anyway, how was your vacation?

[Larry McFeely]

Wow. I got nothing on that.

[Brady]

No, it's good. You didn't join isis.

[Larry McFeely]

I didn't.

[Brady]

Real quick, ISIS updates. Anybody join ISIS while we were. No, Nothing bad happened. All right, good. That's.

[Diane Fisher]

Let's keep that required getting out of the house over break.

[Brady]

I might have to ask that every day. That might be our, you know, fat chicks.

[Diane Fisher]

Has anyone joined isis?

[Brady]

Audrey lady hated blacks. Has anyone here joined ISIS in the last 24 hours? Because that's a telltale sign that you're not crazy. Yeah. Oh, geez. I forgot to tell you guys. I got married. Oh, good for you. And joined isis.

[Diane Fisher]

Wait, what?

[Brady]

Second part. You got to take some plays off. So that's about it. Brady, you didn't do anything funny. Came out.

[Big Dick Toledo]

He came out for five or six days. Actually, seven. Seven days. Just played some golf, hung out, did a little Christmas, and that was about it.

[Brady]

That was about it. Just hung around Toledo. Nothing.

[Diane Fisher]

Went to Montana.

[Brady]

Oh, you did?

[Diane Fisher]

Yeah.

[Brady]

You drive? No, I was gonna say flew. Flew to Montana. Saw Mom.

[Diane Fisher]

Saw Mom. Mom's hanging in there.

[Brady]

All right. That's good. What a report. Yep. That's.

[Diane Fisher]

That's about all I can say about that.

[Brady]

Yeah, I did. Absolutely not. I watched old game shows. I watched. Oh, I'm addicted to one called Blockbusters with Bill Cullen. It was on in the late 70s. It's on Every Night at 12 on the Buzzer Network. 12 to 1. It's. I don't know why, but it's just. It's. It's weird, but I can't get enough of it. And, yeah, I watched old game shows and old tv.

[Big Dick Toledo]

What's the premise behind Blockbuster?

[Brady]

Just. It's all questions, and then you just build these walls and somebody tries to go up and down. Somebody tries to go left and right. It's like Connect 4 almost, with questions. It's dumb, but I couldn't get enough game show acts. You know what I watched that was awesome. MTV was showing old spring breaks in, like 1991 and stuff. And I'm watching the whole thing. They dodged all of those people. It was just the performances. They didn't go back to the VJs, which I was hoping for. Like, you get that John, what's his name? And Eric Nese and like all these. The dopes and. Yeah, Daisy Fuentes. And I was Bill Bellamy. Yeah, but they showed those. That's the British version. You don't want to watch that. The British version is not as good. The American one's good, but they showed Cypress Hill and they were singing to a crowd of people at Daytona Beach. The whole thing, how I could just kill a man, going on and on and on about it. And it was three in the morning and I'm kind of half in, half out. I'm watching this. I'm like, God, this was. I would have loved to have been there. It's like, awesome. How I could just kill a man. They had gunshots in the back. Like MTV used to. They used to not screw around with this. And then at the end they're like, yo, yo, Daytona. Peace, Peace, Peace, peace. And I'm like, you just sang about killing people for three and a half minutes. Non stop. Peace, Peace to all y'all. Peace. And I'm like, no. And in the back, it's still. The track's still running. I could just kill a man. It was something you cared on. To peace. Peace to all y'all. Peace. And I'm like, man, we were a simpler people 30 years ago when we could sing about killing each other. And then, you know, say, hey, now.

[Big Dick Toledo]

You have to take it serious.

[Brady]

Now you gotta take some plays off. I also met two people who know Tommy Lee through Craig Gass, because I went with a bit. Here's the thing I'm a little upset about. And when Craig Gascom, comedian Craig Gass comes back in, we'll deal with him. So I get sick on Christmas. The 23rd, I'm sick. 24th, I'm just blistered. 25th, I can't move. So I missed Christmas. And in bed, coughing 48 hours, the Suns played the Nuggets on Christmas Day. And Craig guess asked, I'm going to be in town on Christmas. Are you doing anything? I'm actually. I said, I'm going to The Suns game. If you want to go, I know you love the Suns. He goes, sure. So I text him, Christmas morning, right? Steelers had a game that day, too. Missed that. I watched it. But I was, you know, didn't have the festivities. Text him. And I said, hey, sick as a dog. I'm gonna miss the Suns tonight. If you still want the tickets, you can have them. And he's like, sure, thanks. Like, okay. And I had no problem with that because I was not feeling well. A few hours later, he texts me and says some stuff. And I said, who you going to the game with? And he said, oh, a friend of mine. Nick, I think he said, my go. Okay. A couple hours later, he goes, I can't even stomach thinking about going to the Suns game if we don't have the passes to the club. So I just gave Nick and his wife your tickets. That is not how that works. If I give you tickets or if you give me tickets and I'm supposed to go with you, but then I get sick and can't go, and you say, I can still use them. You have to use them.

[Diane Fisher]

So that's like with. Not comp. Tickets, right?

[Brady]

They're my tickets. Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

That's.

[Brady]

Read the rules. So I tried to explain that to him. He just didn't understand it. I'm like, you can't take someone else's tickets and then sell them on Ticketmaster.

[Larry McFeely]

Because StubHub those yourself and made some money.

[Brady]

Be the same. And I could have sold. Yeah, right. I could have. Christmas Day game. It would have been easy.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

So he's just like, I didn't feel like it anymore. So I just handed to a friend of mine. I'm like, so you're the Christmas hero. You're the Christmas hero to some guy and his wife? On my die. I was gonna. I was gonna go with him anyway. Like, yeah, but you didn't. And then he just gave him to two strangers. So I just essentially bought tickets for no reason whatsoever to two people.

[Big Dick Toledo]

I don't gave them to randos.

[Brady]

Yeah. Let me see why that's so bad. I'm like, well, I do. And you're off the list. You're out. He's done some tickets again. Well, no. No Harass. Don't ever expect to go. That's an unwritten rule.

[Diane Fisher]

You're not even taking it.

[Brady]

No, If I. And the worst called and said, hey, I don't. I can't make it. I don't feel like going without you. Do you want those tickets back? I got a Guy who wants them. I probably said, sure, he can use them. You do whatever you want to do.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, but it's your ch. You.

[Brady]

But it's my decision. Yeah. So, you know, constantly harassing him and everything else ended up going to the next game, and Craig went with me.

[Larry McFeely]

You let him back?

[Brady]

I had to explain to him how this works. I had to explain to him how everything works. And then we went.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Sit down.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah, it was. It was more of a sit down. And then. And then. Then we went to the rah rah. Holberg's morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. And Doug Hopkins was there, and we're hanging out, and Hopkins cousin was with us. And he's a. I like him a lot. He's a good dude named Aaron. And we're hanging around, doing our thing, and Hopkins like, oh, I know that guy over there and his wife, these very nice people. And. And Doug's like. I'm like, do you guys want a drink? I'll get him. And the lady orders a top shelf tequila on the rocks, and her husband doesn't want anything, but she thought he did, so she got two. And those things were over 100 bucks each. And then at the end of the night, buying Doug's house drinks, thinking Doug's like, hey, hook them up. Doug doesn't. Doug leaves early. Total. Total bill. Irish goodbye to total bill for his cousin and his two friends. $631.

[Diane Fisher]

Wow.

[Larry McFeely]

Did he Venmo you?

[Brady]

No, he's finding out about it right now. Okay. He's being told about that event right now. So don't think I'm not taking Doug deep next time. And wandering right out. Irish goodbye, man in the rah rah. The worst. Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Thanks, Johnny.

[Brady]

You know, he didn't even say that. He's like, I gotta get out of here. I golfed all day. I'm leaving. I'm like, okay, you're not coming with us. And then his cousin, who I thought he's great young kid, tags along. Doug leaves and he's like, I'm gonna stay mine. I'm like, no. We went back and ate tartar and some. Some frites. They don't call them fries when you. When they're expensive. They're just french fries. They're in steak juice or something. I don't know. And then. So we had that at the end. And then the bill comes, and I'm like, you know, you mother. You know Doug. Nope. Doug was long gone.

[Larry McFeely]

Anybody offered a kick in Rose Allegheny?

[Brady]

Ironically enough, Craig gass gave me $60, 60 bucks. Lee doesn't drink, so he just ate some of the tartar. It was crazy. So the sun stink's starting to start now. You know, I'm whittling it down even more to people that can go and can't go with me. I starting to really show some true colors out there. But the two guys I met through Craig that knew Tommy Lee, they were telling Tommy Lee stories. The funniest thing that was said was the one guy said, you know, Motley Crue has this reputation being these badass tough guys, you know, all this stuff. And he goes, you mean because we were talking about Tommy Lee was on Bill Maher's podcast and came across as one of the dumbest human beings you've ever. And I don't know who's really surprised by that.

[Larry McFeely]

I was just gonna say, but you'd.

[Brady]

Think he'd have a cogent thought. He doesn't. And we were kind of talking about that. And he goes, once you get to know him, you realize this band is not tough. This band is not anything more than a bunch of long haired ballerinas that act like they've got this reputation. He said, but what you soon find out after five minutes with Tommy Lee is they think they spelled the name of the band correctly. That wasn't because they were trying to be clever. That's how those idiots spell the word crew with the umlauts. Yeah, the umlauts were added by. They thought crew was C R U E and said, this is the name of our band. Nobody knew about umlauts or anything in the band's like, what you spell it Crew. That's creative. They weren't creative. That was dumb. Guys spelling something wrong and the record company acting like this is a Basquiat artistic flavor this has. This is their flair. Nope. And every guy there was laughing like, he's the dumbest person I've ever met in my life. And I'm like, no kidding? Oh, yeah. Tommy Lee is the stupidest man you'll ever encounter. Do yourself a favor and listen to five minutes of him talking to Bill Maher and you'll soon realize, oh, my God. He couldn't spell Motley Crue the wrong way correctly without the banner behind him. Spell your band name would be a question that would get him kicked right out of Jeopardy. Mo, this isn't fair, bro. I mean, I'm not facing the banner. So, yeah, we had some. We had some talks. It was an interesting Christmas. The whole thing just went crazy. And the Last thing that I didn't know for Christmas, and I found this out this morning on my drive in. Marshall, this is a great. I'm going to give a public service right here to all you people, all you bargain hunters, Marshalls, Kohl's, Michaels, all those types of stores that have Christmas decorations. And the stuff they don't sell, they throw away.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Stop it. Dumpster dive.

[Brady]

Dumpster dive for Christmas next year starts today on all those stores because they don't know what to do with all those things, those artificial trees and wreaths.

[Diane Fisher]

And throw them in storage.

[Brady]

Nope. I thought so, too, but a lot.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Of them have what they don't liquidate. Basically, it's like 20% off. Like if you go into Home Depot.

[Brady]

Now, but when they have to clear the shelves, there's no place to store that. They just get rid of it. So you go dumpster dive at these stores, you're going to get a tree, a wreath, a deck, ornaments, like little mom baubles and, like, signs and weird stuff. Well, you know those things moms put up that say happiness is Santa's Paws. I don't know. Something stupid. You know something? Yeah. Painted signs of how happy Santa makes Mom. I like when a man breaks in the house. Yeah. Live, laugh. Ho, ho, ho.

[Larry McFeely]

Something that was 49.952 weeks ago is.

[Brady]

In the dumpster, Right? It's free.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And I didn't know that, but there's like. Evidently there's a group of people that just raid this stuff and then go online and sell it, like, in November or October of next year, this year. It's crazy and fantastic. So that goes on. And what I also didn't know, and I think Brady talked about this a few years ago, was it's the annual. We didn't sell these Christmas trees. The live ones feed them to elephants, which I didn't know that that's a real thing, too, is that unused Christmas trees get fed to elephants. And I didn't know elephants ate trees. I learned that, too. I thought elephants ate, like, little rodents or something.

[Diane Fisher]

I thought they ate leaves, but I didn't.

[Brady]

I know. Yeah, I know they grazed, but I thought every once in a while they'd tusk up a big animal and, like, barbecue it for the whole elephant family. I didn't know that they weren't. I know they don't have a lot of teeth. They got those two big tusks, though.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Molars.

[Brady]

Yeah, they got a couple of sticking them out. But I didn't know that they were eating whole trees.

[Larry McFeely]

You're still one up on Tommy Lee. So you're still good.

[Brady]

Well you know what, Because I'm quick to admit I didn't know elephants ate Christmas trees. But where is that? That's like when Brady goes over to that zoo and starts shoving pumpkins and hits the door.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Went over to the zoo over the bridge.

[Brady]

I'm sure you did. It was free.

[Diane Fisher]

Of course you did. Your mom was in town.

[Brady]

You haven't seen those animals enough. The animals roll their eyes when Brady shows up. Oh, get this guy again. We don't eat asshole. We don't eat pumpkins. Open wide. But he's shoving pumpkin pumpkins in hippos mouths and they've never seen a pumpkin before. But I can't imagine where elephants eat noble furs in the wild. There's no forest of noble furs that elephants roam.

[Big Dick Toledo]

We turned them onto a new food.

[Brady]

That's not right. It's not a normal thing. What do we got? Loads and loads of Christmas trees the Home Depot didn't sell.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Hey, they like it.

[Brady]

See if the elephants will eat that. It's probably terrible for them, but. Yeah. So I'm watching on the news last night that the elephants just mashing six foot noble firs one after another, making mincemeat of them quick. And that's what we do with all those majestic trees we chop down that have a gap in the back.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Lakes and elephants.

[Brady]

Yeah. Not even poor people would put in their cruddy apartments that one won't say. Yeah, and they shove them in lakes. That's what we learned from you is that we drown them them afterwards like barn cats. Just shove them in the water and make them go away. We act like that never happened and evidently it's good for the fish.

[Diane Fisher]

Fish habitat.

[Brady]

Yeah. Even though it's unexpected, it's a bounty for the fish. Like the thousands of Christmas trees get shoved in lakes and like we didn't know this was going to happen. But elephants get them, which is kind of neat. It's kind of a neat thing to watch too. But again, I've never seen in the Pacific Southwest or even up in the Tonto forest here in Arizona. The elephants roaming wild and their natural foods of the noble fur. There they go. Look. You found the video countdown on Christmas. They do it at the Berlin Zoo. They found out this is a good idea. These still have ornaments on them.

[Larry McFeely]

They're like food ornaments though.

[Brady]

Oh they are. Yeah. That's edible. Like mushrooms and yeah, bell peppers. That's something that elephants love is encounter.

[Diane Fisher]

A Lot in the wild.

[Brady]

Wait, they have bagels in Germany? Isn't that kind of. Yeah. Isn't that kind of like we shouldn't dabble in that?

[Diane Fisher]

Probably shouldn't do that.

[Brady]

So there they were just chowing down. And I was watching that last night and I'm like, how about that?

[Diane Fisher]

There's a rare sight.

[Brady]

Four men doing the news.

[Big Dick Toledo]

That looks uncomfortable.

[Brady]

We're four men doing news because ladies don't know how to read, right? KTR did that.

[Larry McFeely]

Twink news.

[Brady]

Hey, tip of the cap to ktar. That Jamie west that used to be on with Jim Sharp isn't there anymore. They replaced her with a man. And now it's like the good old days where two men are delivering the news with some gravitas and authority. Jim and who? And know some guy named Bill.

[Diane Fisher]

Not Jim Cross his name.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Jamie.

[Diane Fisher]

He's retired.

[Brady]

Crosses out. Yeah, they could be Jamie. But he. It's two men like the olden times. I don't have to listen to some lady going, that's what the kiddos love when she starts talking about her children. Men don't do that. They deliver the news and they. They don't banter about childlike nonsense. Bill and Jim with the news the way it should be. And I don't know what news source you just got that off of, Brett, but that was four dudes crammed into a small desk going, we're the news team. It's anchorman. Before that awful lady got involved and wrecked everything. But yeah, so kudos. Tip of the cat. Two white guys delivering the news. Trump's America's taking shape 20 days early. And on January 6th, it's easy to mention that now we've got our brand new wake up song From Miles to Nowhere. Yep. And we'll be playing that next. They got it to us a little early, which is rare. Most of the time we gotta sit and go, hey, guys, deadline. And we get two or three days of the last one. Not this year.

[Diane Fisher]

Mike and the Molotovs we got on the weekend before we came back last year too.

[Brady]

I'll tell you right now, it's two minutes long. It's too much. We tell them every year a minute.

[Diane Fisher]

But I have not edited it.

[Brady]

Okay, so we're going to have a.

[Diane Fisher]

Spot where I can.

[Brady]

We're going have to do some clipping because Two and a half minute. Well, it's a good time, Phil, but Miles to Nowhere did their opening theme song for the show, which we'll play every day for this entire year. Like it or not. And they've deserved it. Katie and the hobby. If you liked I Love cake, this is okay. This is an.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, I can't wait.

[Brady]

This is a different song. It's gonna drive everybody nuts. So. And then the annual. Every. Every year, the annual. I hate this. I can't believe we're gonna lose in this. Every day by March, all your false growing on me, your false screams, and I'll never. I'll just turn out. I'll just tune out. No, you won't. Because in November, you're like, I still can't believe you're playing that. Thanks for sticking around for 11 months. Don't worry about it. And all the people that will fire off how much they don't like the new song that's coming my way. I'll handle those bullets. The new song. We're gonna listen to that screechy bitch all year. Yes, you do. I'll just tune out for that. Okay, then that's fine. I have no problem with that. I'm tanking it anyway. Drive this bitch right into the ground for the next couple years.

[Diane Fisher]

That's what somebody asked on text. Are we still tanking it?

[Brady]

No, we're not. We gotta. We gotta try a little.

[Diane Fisher]

Oh, we gotta try.

[Brady]

Well, give me a week.

[Diane Fisher]

Okay.

[Brady]

We'Ll see. But it seems. Yeah, it seems pretty. It seems like we don't need to do that, Right? Yeah. And we're not moving to Dick, by the way. We were talking about that before the year ended.

[Diane Fisher]

Oh, did you break the news today?

[Brady]

Dick Broadcasting. I was a reference for somebody trying to apply to a job with Dick Broadcasting. They got curious. I found out the whole. They got curious. Well, why is this show? The person that was trying for the job may have said on the resume that they were part of the show.

[Diane Fisher]

So Jeremy didn't get the job.

[Brady]

It wasn't Jeremy, surprisingly, wasn't old Jeremy. I'm like, no. Eric would be great. Great in South Carolina. No, I. I basically was the reference point. And they're like, well, wait a minute. If the show's got people leaving, is the whole show leaving? So that's why they reached out. Owner. I. Evidently I was talking to the owner of Dick Broadcasting. I didn't even know that. Reached out, made a couple of inquiries about whether or not this was a thing. I never really got fully invested in the conversation, but it was nice to have Dick. Dick chasing me around a little bit.

[Larry McFeely]

Sup?

[Brady]

Sup? It's Dick behind me. He's constantly banging on my door. So that's how that happened. But we're not going to Dick as much as that would have been. I know my dream still lives that Dick Broadcasting will someday purchase our current owners. And then we can proudly say we are Dick employees. But Dick Broadcasting, which is a real thing, is not. Is no longer part of what we are doing. So anyway, brace yourself. Milestone hours coming up. You guys give us the first Wake up song of the year here on January 6, 2025, if you can believe it. Do you know More Time, man, this is a. People were doing this thing. More time has passed. What was it? It's 25 years. It was 24 years since 9 11.

[Diane Fisher]

Right.

[Brady]

And so before that, 2024 years from Kennedy being shot was 63 to 87. That same amount of time has passed. So you think back to 1987. That was the exact same amount of time that had passed since Kennedy got shot that we are now facing since 9 11. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 24 years is a long time. And you start realizing we're 24 years. So that's people. You start looking at times, especially when years are rounded, like on zeros and fives. And 25 is a quarter century of the century is gone, which is a huge. Oh, just crazy to start thinking we're in 2025. Anyway, give us that Wake up song and we'll realize that we're got a.

[Big Dick Toledo]

List of rock albums that are 50 years.

[Brady]

Ah, it's murder. It's 1975. 75 was 50 years ago.

[Big Dick Toledo]

TNT, ACDC.

[Brady]

Oh yeah. We start getting to the ACDC stuff and Ozzy and Sabbath and all that. It's just weird that it's. And okay.

[Diane Fisher]

Live music was all you could get because nobody got broadcast stuff. Radio was like three if you heard anything. I watched the original Nosferatu over break the 1922 one. Yeah, they were with those people hardcore back then. They were terrifying. Barely used to moving pictures. And then they go, hey, by the way, take a look at this German thing. And that dude pops out of a room. I'm gonna throw up everywhere. There's no way. And by the way, in 1922, everybody was dumb as the cards would read, you know, like, two or three words, and they'd stay on the screen for, like, 11 seconds. Like nobody could read. Quick the notes for a two enters room says, I'm like, okay, we've read it 55 times. You can take the plaque off.
