The amazing people at the Core Institute, life can throw you a curveball now and again. One day you're trucking along, feeling great. Next day your dog smashes into your head and knocks you cold. Or like a KUPD listener told me this week, his dog did a sprint across the backyard directly into the side of his wife's leg and blew her knee up. She needed that need to get fixed and fixed right. Two years later, she's running like she used to again. And it's all thanks to the Core Institute. I went through it too. And you can get rid of your pain and start saying yes, I can to all the things you want to do. And. And all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute head there right now.

Sickness.
Brady Bogan
Tell you what, not only did it wear on me, it's a fantastic song. Song of 2024 if you ask me in the rock world. And I've gotten where I really like her voice with that band and it's made me curious. And again, I've always said that. I'm like, ah. Everybody always yelled at Alice in Chains and bands that replaced their singer with another singer. It's not their fault the dude died. Why can't they keep going? And initially I was wrong because I always said why they should just change the name to the Shinoda Machine or something like that. Don't keep linking. Why not let Linkin park live? That song's great and they sound good doing it. I'm. I'm all about it. So Lincoln Stinking lives and that's all right. Makes me curious for the show, to be honest with you. And I'm not a girl singer fan. Like, for the most part with rock music, I always think it ends up sounding the same. It ends up going Evanescence on you. Within three songs, you got some weird angelic ballad being puked at you and I'm not interested. Maybe they won't curious 7:58 that means it's time for Brady to give you all the news that only Brady knows. We call this the Brady Report. Then we say Brady Report it.
Brady
Good Friday morning to you Phoenix. Hello world.
Brady Bogan
We've made it. Hi.
Brady
Happy Customer service day.
Brady Bogan
Does that mean they give it or that they just admit it exists?
Brady
I think it's more like an appreciation.
Brady Bogan
For a good customer service.
Brady
Be nice to the customer service people. Here's a way to be more tolerant or more.
Brady Bogan
That's what I'm saying. Customer service people or the people providing customer service. Which day is it? Is it my job as the customer or is it their job as the people who provide customer service? You don't know.
Brady
I think it's just be nice to the customer service person today.
Brady Bogan
So the guy behind the desk that does take backs at Fry's or Safeway or whatever.
Brady
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Not the biggest thing they not customer service itself.
Larry McFeely
No. Be nice to Kevin Day.
Brady Bogan
Kevin.
Dick Toledo
He already serviced.
Brady Bogan
Yeah he's different.
Brady
He's basically all also instructing. Here's how to get your next issue solved more efficiently. Like don't resist the urge to DM to what? Oh if it gets lost in the shuffle. Calling or sending an email has a better chance of being seen and responded to.
Larry McFeely
Wait, you can DM with us now. Dropped into your DMs with.
Brady Bogan
So customer service is about. You're about to at least do it kindly today.
Brady
They also say come prepared like have your order number and have that information.
Brady Bogan
So this is about returns and problems. This isn't about the people who give you customer service that make you go review and go the customer service was fantastic.
Brady
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Which is the initial transaction.
Brady
Try your best to stay calm.
Brady Bogan
So basically it's just be nice. Don't be a dick to people who are in the, you know, in the industry.
Brady
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Well that's everything that's like restaurants that's I consider customer service the entire thing and then the customer service representative is when we've got real problems. You very rarely go to the customer service rep desk and say everything was great.
Brady
Couple of basis fun facts. There was a 19th century Greek Orthodox monk named Mahalo Telotos who died without ever seeing a woman. His mother died shortly after his birth. He lived all 82 years of his life in the Mount Athos monastery where women were forbidden. He never left at all in the monastery the whole time.
Brady Bogan
No kidding. Never once saw what's the record? How many years?
Brady
82.
Brady Bogan
He lived to be 82. Larry can't break the record, but he can try.
Brady
The shortest war in history was the UK versus Zanzibar. On August 27, 1896, Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.
Brady Bogan
I can pretty much guess the winner of that one. Zanzibar is a country. I thought it was a city.
Brady
Well, they're saying the shortest war in history, so whatever.
Brady Bogan
But Zanzibar, if it's a country, I don't even know if it is or not. To the is. It was Zanzibar. I thought Zanzibar was a place. I didn't think it was a country. You don't know either.
Brady
I don't know.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. So if you've got the entire United Kingdom mad at, like, Scottsdale, I can tell you who's gonna win that real fast. But I don't know what we're gonna take them off. Is Zanzibar a country? And how did the rest of the country like. Hey, hey, Zanzibar, knock it off. You're in us. You're gonna get us all into this pickle. Zanzibar is your drunk Irish friend. I can take him. Hey, asshole. There's a community here. All you other cities with me. Are you a bunch of pussies? Like, we're a country. It's against this. Zanzibar, knock it off. In my country, no one knows. It's impossible to find out the last one.
Brady
Steve Guttenberg beat out huge competition to be the star of Police Academy. Other actors who auditioned for the role, Bruce Willis, Michael Keaton, Tom Hanks, Judge Reinhold.
Brady Bogan
Wow. Does that mean in an alternate universe, Gutenberg was Forrest Gump and Tom Hanks got the job?
Brady
Marvel get on that.
Brady Bogan
That's pretty good. In the. That horrible universe of if roles switched and Hank's got the gig on Police Academy and it wrecked everything and Gutenberg didn't and then goes on to do, you know, all those. I mean, he's. He's in everything. Amazing. He's Philadelphia. He's. He just takes Tom's career. Wow.
Brady
Between the others, could you see Michael Keaton playing that role? Yes.
Brady Bogan
Michael Keaton in Police Academy. Oh, yeah.
Brady
Everybody could have done that one there.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, Bruce. That wasn't one. That was going to be too much to bear. Fair.
Larry McFeely
That was Billy Blaze, Kowski and the.
Brady Bogan
One Night Shift with Henry. That was great.
Dick Toledo
I love that movie.
Brady Bogan
Michael Keaton was a. He was great. He would have been awesome in Police.
Larry McFeely
Chuck, I'm coming.
Brady Bogan
What was his name in Police Academy? What was Gutenberg's name? Oh, I Can't remember. It's a. I think it's tipping my tongue, but either way.
Larry McFeely
Hi, Hightower.
Brady Bogan
No, no, no, Hightower. That was the other guy from the Cowboys. Bubba Smith.
Brady
You got Tackleberry was the shooting guy.
Brady Bogan
Pretty good. Well done. Brady. I can't remember his name. That's on the tip of my. Mahoney.
Brady
Mahoney.
Brady Bogan
How do we not remember that? Because we've changed Mahoney's name here.
Brady
1% of Americans say they usually fall asleep in under a minute.
Brady Bogan
Geez. That's narcolepsy.
Brady
Six percent said it takes over an hour. And phones might be the blame for some of that. One in seven people say avoiding screens at least an hour before bed helps them fall asleep quicker.
Brady Bogan
Huh. Vince needs to make sure that whatever spawns growing inside his horror wife never sees that woman either. You can't let his first sighting of a woman do that. Slut. Man. Hoover that thing out.
Champ
Wow.
Brady Bogan
The baby's fault. But it can't be more than a month and a half. So you're gonna do it. Get on it. Too sweet.
Brady
His parents posted their 13 year old son's bucket list and it's going viral online. The kids parents posted it anonymously on the kids bucket list. At 13 years old he's already thinking.
Brady Bogan
About things he's gonna have to do before he dies.
Brady
Get a full taxidermy. Alligator. Number two, Go to New Zealand.
Larry McFeely
He said taxidermy.
Brady Bogan
Sure.
Brady
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Thirteen. You know, taxidermy. You think? Yeah. Or you're Vince Young.
Brady
Number three. Become a published author. Number four. Discover a new species. Number five. Eat an octopus. Number six. Befriend a bintura. Binturong. It's a bear cat itself.
Brady Bogan
You had to look that up?
Brady
Yeah. It looks like a cross between a bear kind of a body with a cat's head. But it's really related to a mongoose.
Brady Bogan
Is it real?
Brady
And. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
It's a bear with a cat's head.
Brady
Yeah. The body kind of looks like. That's why they call it a bear cat.
Brady Bogan
They call it a bento, but it's. You called it a bearcat because you're from. They get Cincinnati on the mind.
Brady
Where do they live in South East Asia?
Dick Toledo
South Central.
Brady
Get a cool jeep.
David Koechner
Yeah.
Brady
Have a YouTube channel. Prove the existence of goblins.
Brady Bogan
All right.
Dick Toledo
None of this has ever crossed my mind in the least.
Brady Bogan
This kid is high as a kite. Other than the cool jeep thing that was. That's the only. That's easy though.
Brady
Legally change my name.
Brady Bogan
How is that a cat's head. She's got big ears. You got one ugly ass cat. If that's what your cat looks like.
Larry McFeely
Eat your face off.
Brady Bogan
I don't know what that thing is.
Brady
It's related to a mongoose and a meat.
Brady Bogan
Okay.
Dick Toledo
The research.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. The only thing he's done is find out what that one. Research it up.
Champ
Treated pumpkins at the zoo with Christy.
Brady Bogan
Does it eat pumpkins? Does it eat pumpkins? Oh, it would.
Brady
Oh, yeah. It'll give it a talent. Pumpkin.
Brady Bogan
It's native to his land.
Brady
He wants to legally change his name.
Brady Bogan
Really interesting stories. Like, what was that, Brady? I don't know. What's a Benturon?
Champ
Well, it's a hybrid of a meerkat.
Brady
And a. I knew you'd ask about.
Brady Bogan

Larry McFeely
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco.
Brady Bogan
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 basement. 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.
Wayne
The air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell.
Brady Bogan
Nice.
Larry McFeely
Is that a big deal to get done?
Brady Bogan
Not at all. It takes about an hour and in most cases, we can do it while you wait.
Brady
That's awesome.
Brady Bogan
I'll say. We're Amco.
Larry McFeely

Champ
I don't care about that.
Brady Bogan
The Bentirong. I'm 52. I'm today years old finding out whether Benturong was even a word and it will never affect me again. No, I will never go.
Dick Toledo
I was bitten as soon as we.
Brady Bogan
Walked by binturong trying to feed it pumpkins with Brady once I got one.
Brady
Coming in a couple weeks.
Brady Bogan
Benturong?
Dick Toledo
Sure.
Brady
According to baby names websites. Aggressive baby names are trending big time. Names like Wesson Caliber Shooter trigger. Wesson like Blade Cannon, Remington, Colt, Ruger.
Brady Bogan
All right.
Brady
Winchester. Larson.
Champ
Hey, what's up? I just heard something. I thought that was funny. I was just going through. I was ghosting around haunting Brady's house back home. I went through your family stuff and I found Brady's 13 year old bucket list. Six original six crispy six original recipe. His bucket was full of chicken. Bucket list. Something else to burn. You got some tots. You got some mashed potatoes with honey sauce? Anyway, if you get 13 year old with a bucket list, you got a creepy little kid on your head. That kid's thinking about dying too much. Get some. Get some news. What's a Benturong? And how do they taste?
Brady
Delicious.
Champ
I bet you they're pretty good. Meaty little cat bear. I want some of that. The combination of everything in the gay community they hate. You combine bears with pussy.
Brady
Toledo Answer your question. The not the oil. The Smith and Wesson.
Larry McFeely
Okay, gotcha.
Brady
Boone Stetson and from the reboot, Maverick has increased. And Dutton.
Brady Bogan
These are the top names of people in Gilbert with their white kids.
David Koechner
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Not a single.
Brady
I'm not sure about our center of that.
Dick Toledo
No DeAndre in there?
Brady Bogan
No. Nothing with a D or an apostrophe. No dudton. That was just annoying. White people naming their kids new things because they watch Yellowstone too much. We should name our children after these characters. This Sheridan fella has some ideas.
Dick Toledo
I hate Gilbert.
Brady Bogan
Everyone hates Gilbert. It's an awful place.
Brady
And now it's time for some science news.
Brady Bogan
Okay. Hello, my friends.
Brady
Professor Brady Bogan here with your science news in billionaire news. Jeff Bezos news.
Brady Bogan
You just.
Larry McFeely
How do you switch to that in billionaire news?
Brady Bogan
You can't say in science news and then start with in billionaire news.
Brady
Well, it's part of science. Jeff Bezos. Then it's his company, Blue Origin.
Brady Bogan
You're a ridiculous little man.
Dick Toledo
It is Friday.
Brady
Blue Origin launched their new Glenn rocket for the first time yesterday. They're trying to re land their boosters and use them again so they can take on SpaceX. They got their payload into orbit but lost the booster. They still said they were thrilled with the result.
Brady Bogan
Right.
Brady
Whereas Elon Musk's SpaceX. The boosters were caught by the chopsticks.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Brady
But they lost the space. The starship.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Blew up. Neat, too. It rained down cool colors. Looks like a meteor ship.
Brady
I have a buddy there in Padre island and he sent me a couple of videos of both to take off in them.
Brady Bogan
And very reminiscent of what you would do is you gotta get out here, bro, like it's happening every day. You missed it.
Brady
China wants to plant a flag on the moon next year and figure out how to make it flutter even with no wind.
David Koechner
Over my dead body. China. China will not own the moon that is ours. We took it.
Brady
They engineered a special flag that flutters when it interacts with the electromagnetic fields.
David Koechner
It's gonna give the moon Covid. We already know what they're doing. They're fluttering. They're bad. It's like when you fart and you wave it. They're taking their Covid germs. They're putting them on our moon.
Brady
We have currently six flags on the moon.
David Koechner
That's right, Six Flags. We're building an amusement park on the moon. Trump Land.
Brady Bogan
They're gonna call it Great America.
David Koechner
Great America Great. Even greater. We make Great America great again.
Brady
The World Monuments Fund just listed the moon as a threatened cultural site.
David Koechner
That's right. The Chinese are coming. That's why? It's been China free for so long. So many, so many years of a China free moon. And they're about to ruin that and about to wreck it.
Brady
As we send more landers up in space, tourism takes off. They want to start talking about how to preserve things like Neil Armstrong's boot print.
David Koechner
You got to keep that boot print there. That's ours. China will go up there of the moon. The last thing we need to do is when Mexico starts saying they're going to go up there, they'll start sweeping. We'll lose the boot print.
Larry McFeely
Build a bubble like wall kind of.
David Koechner
We got to build a wall around the moon. Keep the Chinese out. China, you stay put. One thing those people do is overpopulate. Get over that moon, start seeing Chinese people all over the place. Next thing you know, moon will be. The man in the moon will have different eyes. That's what we'll say.
Brady Bogan
Can't say that right now.
David Koechner
Moon has round eye. It's American. You get those Chinese people up there, they'll start kicking that dirt around. Next thing you know, man of the moon's gonna look like the sun's in his eyes.
Dick Toledo
It's gonna be Chinaman black colored.
David Koechner
And his hair will have that big. Every eclipse it'll look like an eclipse. He's got that Chinaman black hair. Nobody. Not a natural color for us.
Brady
A study found humans feeding peanuts to squirrels makes their jaws weaker. Their heads flatter. Makes the squirrels.
Brady Bogan
I was gonna be more specific.
Brady
And heads flattered.
Brady Bogan
The grammatical error in that was that humans would shrink their heads if they fed the squirrel.
Brady
Really?
Brady Bogan
Say it again.
Brady
A study found humans feeding peanuts to squirrels. Makes their jaws weaker.
Brady Bogan
Yep.
Brady
And their heads.
Brady Bogan
The subject of the sentence is humans. When you go to there it references back to the subject. Oh God.
Larry McFeely
Please English teachers, please email.
Brady Bogan
I'm right.
Larry McFeely
I just want confirmation.
Brady Bogan
Science says that when humans feed squirrels, their heads get squished.
Brady
When they feed penis to squirrels.
Brady Bogan
Their heads. Whose heads?
Brady
They should say the squirrel's heads.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
Brady
All right.
Brady Bogan
Don't get mad at me because English is a thing.
Dick Toledo
Boy, what a dick.
Brady
Oh, what English dick.
Brady Bogan
Oh, him. That's what I'm saying. I was not. I was trying to make you know, I was keeping you friend. It's impossible. My job's impossible. I was trying to keep you from looking like a dip. But it's impossible. My job.
Brady
Why try then?
Brady Bogan
Yeah, it's impossible because I don't want to be associated with with that type of diplomat. Science says when humans feed squirrels nuts, their Heads shrink. Well, no, it doesn't.
Larry McFeely
We should rename the show the jaws are weaker.
Brady Bogan
No, the squirrel's jaws. Squirrels are affected when you. So let me tell you.
Brady
The humans are feeding squirrels.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Brady
And it weakens whose jaws? The ways eating the peanuts.
Brady Bogan
Okay, here comes your dip. Squirrels. You delivered the news that humans heads and jaws get weaker when they feed squirrels. That's what you said.
Brady
No, I did not.
Brady Bogan
Yes, you did. But you want everybody else to do the math at home because you're.
Brady
When I'm feeding a squirrel.
Brady Bogan
No, no, that's not what you said. You said whose jaw science is gonna get weaker. I don't know. According to you. The human. The way you said that sentence. The human's jaw and its head are affected when you feed it a squirrel. A peanut.
Brady
All right, well, I'm glad we cleared it up.
Brady Bogan
Of course we did. Because you mucked it up. I had to clear it up because you sounded like an idiot.
Brady
But you know why the peanuts make their jaws weaker?
Brady Bogan
Who? The human Softer?
Brady
No, the squirrels.
Larry McFeely
See, that's also information that could have.
Brady Bogan
Been done in the next.
John Holmberg
I was trying to get there.
Brady Bogan
You couldn't get there. Cuz you mucked up the information so badly. Whose hands were there? Look, if I was in school and the teacher said when humans feed squirrels peanuts, their heads and jaws get weaker, I'd be like, all right, take that note. I didn't know that. Don't feed squirrels. Nuts.
Larry McFeely
You're going to fail that test because.
Brady Bogan
The way that is said the human is the there to human. You can be mad, but both are correct.
Brady
Don't feed the squirrels.
Brady Bogan
Why? Humans don't feed squirrels because your head will shrink.
Brady
Their heads square and their jaws weaker. The squirrels.
Brady Bogan
Okay, you got to be clear with that. The way you said that both times made it seem like the humans were weakened by the peanut feeding.
Brady
That's your science news.
Brady Bogan
Now, I understand what you're saying. It's less likely to be true. Yeah, but when you sound like you've got an IQ of 11. I'm gonna help out with that. Ouch. I don't want you to be the dumb one because you do it all the time to the news.
Brady
Do you hear what that guy said?
Brady Bogan
It's been 20 years and you won't let George Lopez off the New England thing.
Champ
New England Patriots.
Brady Bogan
And so when you sound like a dipstick, people in the car going, moron. I don't want him to think that of you.
Dick Toledo
Well, Travis just said, I'm going to.
Brady
I'm Going to go forward this to the person who did the article.
Brady Bogan
You can if you'd like.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, Travis just said, thanks, Brady, I lost 69 IQ points listening to Satan.
Brady Bogan
To this slop fest.
Larry McFeely
And another one says, I regret to say that I was questioning whether it was human nuts or.
Brady Bogan
Because when you say it, you're like, what? It's a bad science thing. Visit Holmberg's morning sickness online@98kupd.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness. Science said your sentence sucked, Brady.
Larry McFeely
I don't know if you'll know.
Brady
Well, it didn't throw me off the first time I read it.
Brady Bogan
Right. And that's why I have to help.
Brady
Talking about squirrels? No, I'm talking about this morning.
Brady Bogan
You assumed I know and you assumed.
Brady
That I assume they're talking about the squirrels.
Brady Bogan
But when you read it out loud, what you said was, the human's heads and jaws are affected when they feed squirrels nuts.
Brady
You had a choice between.
Brady Bogan
The way sentences work are very clear. What you said was, technically, the humans were affected when they fed squirrels peanuts, which makes you seem kind of silly.
Larry McFeely
The guy says, brady, I don't know if you know this, but you are the human embodiment of the dangling modifier.
John Holmberg
There it is.
Larry McFeely
You do this all the time.
Brady Bogan
Yes. The dangling modifier brings you back to the subject with the wrong thing and it makes you say that the thing you were first talking about is what you're actually being is being affected. But what you mean is, I gotta.
Brady
Catch that next time.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, another one. Suspended modifier. Don't leave it hanging.
Brady Bogan
Yep. I don't remember that. I don't remember that's what it was called. But that's what it is when you bring two things to the party. But you made one clearly the subject. You can't bring it back to that.
Brady
Scientists better get it straight next.
Brady Bogan
Well, it's. Whoever wrote that, if you're reading it word for word, it's not your fault. But you have to catch that. It sounds crazy. That's not being an English dick. That's just speaking English. That's your Science News and Billionaire. Don't get mad at me.
Brady
Too late.
Brady Bogan
Well, mop it up then.
Brady
We got Princess. The New York subway.
Dick Toledo
I bet Vince's wife's baby daddy can.
Brady Bogan
Speak better English than Brady with the dangling modifier.
Dick Toledo
David Vasquez.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, of course it is. Get Brady a Snickers, he turns into an R word when he's hungry.
Brady
The MTA. The controls of New York subway lose 500 million a year. On people jumping over the turnstiles. So they now are implementing. Putting spikes on the handle.
Brady Bogan
Just low ceilings. I've. I've been able. You've been able to solve this for ages.
Larry McFeely
You can't jump over.
Brady Bogan
You bang your head. If you try to bounce over. Just. You gotta duck in.
Brady
So they. They didn't lower the ceilings. They put spikes on the handrails. They'll figure around that it's on basically one set. They're testing them out to see how much it will cut down in that area and if it works, more spikes.
Brady Bogan
I'm all for more spikes. More spikes for people who do dumb stuff.
Brady
Progresso is selling cough drops that taste like chicken noodle soup. They immediately sold out online when they announced it. Now they're selling two more batches next Thursday and the Thursday after that. And finally, congratulations to a couple of Swedish table tennis enthusiasts. Emil Olson and Frederik Nielsen, known as the spin duo, set a new record for the longest table tennis rally. You ready for this?
Brady Bogan
Sure.
Brady
13 hours, 37 minutes, and 6 seconds for one point.
Brady Bogan
A lot.
Brady
Yep.
Brady Bogan
And they're just. They're not doing, like, real.
Larry McFeely
They're not trying.
Dick Toledo
Get a life.
Brady
Sure. Crazy. It's just hitting it back and forth.
Brady Bogan
That's pretty good.
Dick Toledo
Get a life.
Brady Bogan
But get a life. And if that impresses you, you also need to get a life.
Dick Toledo
Hang yourself if that impresses you.
Brady Bogan
Go feed some squirrels, Flathead.
Brady
Weak jawed. Flathead.
Brady Bogan
Weak John. Flathead. You know what else will weaken your jaw? These nuts.
Brady
Brett's got the videos.
Brady Bogan
Oh, you don't have any today.
Brady
He said he's gonna be loaded.
Dick Toledo
I'm not real loaded, but I should have some decent ones.
Brady Bogan
Here we go. Brett's Friday.
Dick Toledo
Hang on a second.
David Koechner
We won't even be able to call the moon moon face anymore because the Chinese will be mad at us. Can't even use that phrase. Keep them off my moon.
Brady Bogan
All right, here we go.
Brady
I didn't know we had six flags up there.
Brady Bogan
I didn't either. We're gonna put one every time. What? We're dropping something into a weird little. Is that a poop box? It's a middle Eastern poop box. It's a hole in the ground. They've got, like, a ladle. For some reason, their poop looks like the inside of a pumpkin.
Dick Toledo
It's curry.
Brady Bogan
Yes. Essentially, that's just a porta John. In the middle east, it's always got a bowl. I don't like this at all. Oh, he's coming out of the rice no, this is a bad Middle Eastern Tony Romas. He just went to the bathroom with a meal and he's coming out with a bowl. Oh, is it feces? Is this dude about to eat that? Brad, I don't like that. There's so much bar left on this. It's like a four minute video.
David Koechner
Oh, he put a spoon in it.
Brady
Got a ladle.
Brady Bogan
There's rice and whatever. He. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Brady
There's a guy that's pretty rich.
Larry McFeely
That's peanut butter.
Brady Bogan
Looks like refried beans and.
Larry McFeely
Oh, no, I think it's rice.
Brady Bogan
No, don't. Oh, there's a guy with his back turns. He's walking up to him with the spoon.
Brady
No idea.
Brady Bogan
That's a wife. It's his wife.
David Koechner
And it smells.
Brady
I think she does know, but that's all.
Brady Bogan
Their food smells like that, to be fair. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
I don't know what the problem is.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, this is just like walking into an Indian restaurant. So it doesn't really matter. You're going to smell the same things. Half time. I think you're eating out of a Porta John. Oh, God. Yeah, she. She knows that this is.
Dick Toledo
Oh, she's already puking.
Brady Bogan
This is sew ladle. Is she being punished?
Brady
If you want to stay here.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, if you want to live in this house, you have to eat my cooking. Oh, she just threw up. Put that in the mix. Throw that in the bowl. She's Chinese or something. Okay, this has taken forever, and it's just the suspense is killing me. Does she eventually choke this down? She's got brand new pumas on.
Brady
Those are nice.
Brady Bogan
She just made them. Brett says she just made them. I don't even care about the poop anymore. Her handmade pumas. She just made them. And you know what? She made them wrong. And that's why she's got to eat this. Oh, she's pretty, too. Like, this is. She's choking that down. Come on, Big vomit after, of course, because it's not natural. This video's half over.
Dick Toledo
Oh, here's quick.
Brady Bogan
Oh, he's feeding another. Another one who made bad pumas. He takes a quick bite. That's punishment for making those Marshalls irregulars.
Brady
Look how square his head is from eating that.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, he's feeding those squirrels. He's got a flathead. You make another Irigger. Now I have to make a tag of, say, irregular Marshall. All right, he's happy about this. There's too many people eating. Yeah, sewer poop.
Brady
I'm not buying it.
Brady Bogan
Go ahead. And don't buy it.
Larry McFeely
You're not buying it.
David Koechner
And that's why those people can't go to our moon now.
Dick Toledo
Oh, you know, some of the. Some of the ladies out there, they're always like, no, size doesn't matter. I think in this case, it does.
Larry McFeely
Oh, no.
Brady Bogan
Okay, so we got one girl performing an oral favor on another and their butts in the air. And across the way, some dude sitting on the couch masturbating with something he's injected into his genitals that makes it look human zucchini. Like a. Like double Pringles can. And now he's trying to do things to her. And while you can't go in that one, you gotta at least go in the baby maker. You can't start there. Oh, this looks like a. This looks like a human centipede with. Oh, my goodness. That is.
Larry McFeely
That looks like. That's looks like he's carrying a rose.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, it looks like a pink air duct. Like a. Like, AC work. And he is trying real hard to get that in there. It's about the size of. Oh, my God. Oh, he's putting it in the baby makers. Uncle, my dick. I'm not comfortable with that. All right, turn that off. That's.
Brady
It's not working.
Brady Bogan
Does he get it in there? He doesn't seem affected at all. The other one seems to still be enjoying it.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, that does seem.
Brady Bogan
All right. I don't know what that was. What is he injecting in there? Silica? He made it?
Dick Toledo
I think so. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
It was pretty well rounded out. It wasn't lumpy or anything fat.
Dick Toledo
Now, remember last year when the. The thing of the year was snorting the stuff up? Bailey thinks we might have found the next one.
Brady Bogan
The trend for 2025.
Dick Toledo
Possibly, yes.
Brady Bogan
All right. Okay. All right. This guy's got his.
David Koechner
Oh, wow.
Brady Bogan
All right. I've never seen that before. Where. All right. I don't even know how to describe that. Your scrotum. Your scrotum goes in someone's behind.
Dick Toledo
Yes.
Brady Bogan
And then she kind of ping pongs them out, makes a weird noise.
Dick Toledo
All right, so here you go. Here's the.
Brady Bogan
All right. Here's the full. Here's the diy.
David Koechner
All right.
Brady Bogan
He takes those d. This makes her head flatter because she's getting fed nuts. Oh, it's in German or Russian or something. And he manages to get both of them. And then.
Dick Toledo
But now he's going to town.
Brady Bogan
And then watch. Oh, wow. He's working. Okay. All right. And then she's got to work the other thing.
Dick Toledo
She's putting in some work.
Brady Bogan
He says, push. And they came out. That's how they come out.
Dick Toledo
And then here was the.
Brady Bogan
And again, like a Pringles can. It's the same noise when you stick it into the bottom too far and you gott.
Dick Toledo
And then here's the. Here's the other one.
Brady Bogan
Whoa. Okay. Oh, here's a guy with explosive water in his butt, and he's hitting a lady.
Brady
Kid's.
Brady Bogan
They gave him a enema of some sort of just water and.
Larry McFeely
Got to protect that par floor, John.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, it's like being at the old Boston Garden. Man, he's just peeing on her from the behind. Oh. Who raised these people? What in the world? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh. All right, I'll do it.
Larry McFeely
But don't show my face.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, yeah. No face, boy. Is that it? That's it. Thanks for that. Well, we'll show. We'll show Champ these videos. Champ, will come in here from anchorman. David Koechner's coming in. Todd Packer from the office would like those videos. I'm not so. Champ might like those, too.
Larry McFeely

Brady Bogan
