Key Segments and Insights

1. Setting the Scene: Birthdays & Zach's Guest Hosting

• [01:02] John introduces the special circumstances: Kevin Ray planned to join but his son Zach is filling in after "a big weekend and the Clippers' destruction of the Suns."
• The segment teems with affectionate roasting—especially targeting both Brady’s age and Zach’s role:
  • “Repping the Ray name. That’s right. You’re doing a nice job. Learned a lot about him today…” – John
• Banter over what Zach got Kevin for his birthday: Amazon gift cards (“a present with thought?”), shoes, and teasing over how many shoes are enough.
• The show’s energy is lively and playful, with jokes about expecting last year to be Brady’s final birthday, setting up the “every day’s a gift” running gag.

2. BradyGras Returns: Explaining the Game

• [04:17] “Haven’t played it for a year. Can’t wait to play it. Today, Brady Gro. Brady celebrates yet another birthday, and frankly, we didn’t think this one was going to happen.”
• Game mechanics: Listeners call in and join Brady and Zach to answer five trivia questions in various categories (general knowledge, geography, food/drink, animals, etc.) for a chance at quirky prizes.
• Teams must collectively agree on answers, but the dynamic often degenerates into amused bickering or letting Brady have final say, adding comedic tension.

3. The Prizes and Home Shopping Network Commentary

• [07:34] “Playing for the Wonder Bible. The printer isn’t working right now.”
• Wonder Bible: A handheld, audio device containing the King James Bible. Mockery ensues about what constitutes a “pleasant voice” and who should narrate the Bible—Michael J. Tyson, Freddie Roach, Stephen Hawking, Al Pacino, etc.
• Additional prizes include toilet bowl lights, Arctic cooling hats, and the turbo pump—all mined for maximum comedic effect by the hosts.

4. Callers, Contestants, and Chaotic Trivia

• The core of the episode is a rotating parade of callers, each bringing their own oddball energy, with a number of memorable interactions and recurring characters:

  Round 1 – Don (Mechanic. Prize: Wonder Bible)

  • [10:07] Category: Geography.
  • Misses “In what country is Mount Kilimanjaro?” (Guess: South Africa – Correct: Tanzania).
  • “Don’s checked in and said whatever Brady says... Say goodbye to the Wonder Bible.” – John

  Round 2 – Isaiah (Self-proclaimed “connoisseur of goods”)

  • [11:56] John suspects Isaiah is on drugs:
    • “Are you on meth right now?” “No, not right now.”
  • Fails basic general knowledge and Sabbath questions, but brings surreal, comic energy.

  Round 3 – Justin (Fellow “Aquarian”)

  • [15:38] Category: Animals.
  • Gets "What is the only mammal capable of true flight?" (Correct: Bat), but stumbles over “Which animal has the longest tongue?” (Guess: Blue whale vs. Correct: Giraffe).
  • Hilarity in team indecision and Brady overriding teammates, leading to a loss.

  Round 4 – Philip (UPS worker. Prize: Arctic Hat)

  • [20:25] Category: Food & Drink.
  • Knows hummus ingredient (chickpeas), shepherd’s pie meat (lamb), and world's most expensive spice (saffron). Stumbles on “which country invented ice cream” (Answer: China).
  • Extended, absurd debate about whether the answer could be Wisconsin (“the country of Wisconsin”) or Middle Eastern froyo.
  • Delivers possibly the most playfully exasperating segment, with Brady, Zach, and John riffing on possible right/wrong answers, with Philip’s inability to Google the answers fast enough.

  Round 5 – Kenny (“Little Raz,” shares birthday with Brady, has lost his left leg)

  • [38:12] Category: Music.
  • Gets Beyoncé’s Grammy count right (32), but misses Sinead O’Connor as the notable Irish singer who passed away in 2023.
  • The discussion is candid about disability but remains lighthearted and respectful.

  Recurrent Callers: Isaiah returns (“Probably driving while on the phone”), John attempts animal questions, and the show ultimately cycles through more listeners without anyone quite clinching the grand prize. The host’s exasperation grows, feeding the show’s comic energy.

5. Memorable Quotes & Comic Moments

• On Brady’s longevity:
  “Brady celebrates yet another birthday, and frankly, we didn’t think this one was going to happen. I’m just as shocked as you.” – John (04:17)
• On Isaiah’s “career”:
  “What do you write for occupation on your tax?”
  “Oh, you’re not paying taxes. Who am I kidding?” – John (12:05)
• On confusion in trivia:
  “Come on, give me an answer. Name a cheese, for Christ’s sake. Starts with a P, ends in an E. You’ll never get it. All right, go back to the gay guy [on TV].” – John (31:16–32:39)
• On flamingo babies:
  “What color are flamingos when they’re born? White, black, gray or pink? Why is this funny? What’s racist about this?” – John (54:48)
• On the painful futility of group answers:
  “No prizes. And who’s the big winner on your birthday? Toledo. Brett and John. $0.” – John (58:46)
• On Isaiah’s “cat answer” for Aristocats:
  “Let’s go with pussy.” – Isaiah (47:55)

• Listener Involvement: Callers’ quirks, from Isaiah’s offbeat energy to Kenny’s biker-turned-UPS driver story, are celebrated and mocked in equal measure.
• Recurring Gags: Running jokes about the game being “rigged,” no one winning prizes, and Brady’s “dead-eyed” stare are called back throughout the episode.
• Pop Culture & Arizona Flavor: Local Suns coverage, running bits about Home Shopping Network products, and Arizona’s rock radio quirks shine through.

[John Holmberg]

Well, this isn't going well at all.

[Toledo]

Usually print Playing for the Wonder Bible. The printer isn't working right now.

[John Holmberg]

The Wonder Bible.

[Toledo]

The Wonder Bible is a handheld Bible, John. Compact and lightweight audio player that is portable and convenient. This Bible contains the complete King James version, including the Old and New Testament.

[John Holmberg]

Wow.

[Toledo]

Gospels, psalms, letters and more. Easy push button controls let you skip fast forward or rewind your favorite chapter or book. Pause or continue where you left off. A pleasant voice reads the book for you. Ideal for the visually challenged.

[John Holmberg]

Skip. Who's the. Who's the. Who's the pleasant voice? General AI guy. There it is. That's the Wonder Bible. And it looks like a calculator for some reason.

[Brett Vesely]

It does.

[Toledo]

It looks like a little pocket version.

[Brett Vesely]

Of maybe you punch in the verse.

[John Holmberg]

Well, how do you know if you haven't read the Bible?

[Brett Vesely]

You just do random.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you just. If it was yours, who do you want the voice to be? Me. For the Bible, probably Freddie Roach. One of the train. Like the trainer of boxing trainer. In the beginning I was probably just somebody with maybe Michael J. Tyson. No, I don't want Tyson in there. I just want Freddie. Stephen Hawking. I think I could do a few hours of that one. That'd be pretty good. Then the Lord speak. To keep your slaves happy, you must regularly beat them. It's in the Bible. Get melted. Pacino would be good. Then Jesus was on the cross.

[Brett Vesely]

How did.

[John Holmberg]

Damn Jews. Please, no improvising, Mr. Epicino. It was the Jews. They did it. All right, here we go. Who's on the phone to Start. We'll start with Don. Don, are you there?

Tanzania, Hands and. Oh, don't do that, Brady. Don't. Oh, that was your second guess. And don't lie to me. And don't think that the Tasmanian Devil didn't spin in your head when I said Tanzania. And it's not even close. Sorry about that, Don. These guys did nothing for you. No Wonder Bible for anyone. Goodbye, Don. Next on the list, Believe it's Isaiah. Isaiah, are you there? Yeah. Very excited on a Monday. Isaiah, say hi to Brady and Zach. You are playing Brady Gro. Okay. All right.

[Toledo]

Screwed Sherry out of some cake.

[Toledo]

Like mammal.

[John Holmberg]

It says what animal has the longest tongue? That's a good answer right there.

[Brett Vesely]

Anteater has a long.

[Caller/Contestant]

Come on, guys, help me out here.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I was gonna say we're here.

[Brett Vesely]

What about a blue whale?

[John Holmberg]

A blue whale probably has a pretty good sized tongue. Is it long or is it just wide? Is it thick?

[Brett Vesely]

Well, it'd be all.

[Toledo]

Have those fins that.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I don't know. Guys, this guy's barking.

[Toledo]

He's taking his choice.

[John Holmberg]

Go giraffe. Everybody wants to go giraffe. Brady's not sure. You don't like this one, Brady. It is Brady Gras. Would you like to go out on your own? Break up what the team wants? It's your day, chief. Come on. You have final say here, big fella. Game's named after.

[Toledo]

We're only on till 10.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, come on. You gotta go make a decision. Be a man.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm gonna go with my call. The blue whale.

[John Holmberg]

The blue whale. How do we do when we divide this two? V 1 Brady's the final answer. Okay. He's jumping away from the team. He's team captain. Team captain says blue whale. Giraffe. Correct answer. I know. Sorry about that. I didn't. Sorry. We're gonna let you go. Brady screwed everybody on. How about that? Wow. That was rude.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't believe that.

[John Holmberg]

All right, next one up.

[Toledo]

I don't believe that.

[John Holmberg]

Guess we'll finish it off with Philip. Philip, are you there?

[Caller/Contestant]

Good morning.

[John Holmberg]

All right, Say happy birthday. There you go. Happy birthday to you as well. What are we playing for now? Toledo.

[Toledo]

You're playing for the Arctic hat. Keeps you cool and comfortable through the day. It's the number one bestseller in clothing on the as seen on tv. Evaporative cooling liner works just using water and keeps your head 20 degrees cooler during the hot summer months. Keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the day. The wet liner with cold water to charge and wring out the excess will keep you cool no matter how hot it is outside.

[Brett Vesely]

Great for tennis and golf.

[John Holmberg]

And Philip, what do you do for a living?

[Caller/Contestant]

I work for ups.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, so you're outside a lot. You could use this. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Correct.

[John Holmberg]

Probably already has. Great for you. All right. This is really good for you. All right, let's get right to it. The topics remaining as you've blown it with animals. Brady, and that was the one I thought you have.

[Brett Vesely]

Big time.

[John Holmberg]

I'd still say pop culture history, food and drink, sports literature, which I think you should have. Drink. He likes food and drink. He likes food and drink. Food and drink it is. All right, this is a wheelhouse for you, my friend. You should be all over this. Let's start easy. What is the main ingredient in hummus?

[Caller/Contestant]

Chickpeas.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody says chickpeas. These guys know it. Nice work. Philip, what do you weigh?

[Caller/Contestant]

200.

[John Holmberg]

He's kind of guessing. He's jumping in and out of a truck all day. Yeah, that's true. All right. You're not a fat guy. That was fast that you got that answer. All right. What is the meat used in a shepherd's pie?

[Brett Vesely]

Lamb.

[Caller/Contestant]

Is it ground lamb or beef? Brady.

[Brett Vesely]

It's lamb.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Why do you get so cocky when you know? Because I'm. You can just still answer with little jovial.

[Brett Vesely]

Cottage pie would be.

[John Holmberg]

All right, that's two. Two for three. Nice job. Here we go.

[Toledo]

Is this for the win?

[John Holmberg]

You said no. 5.

[Brett Vesely]

Category.

[John Holmberg]

Here we go. What is the rarest and most spent expensive spice in the world by weight?

[Caller/Contestant]

Saffron.

[John Holmberg]

Saffron.

[Brett Vesely]

I like that answer.

[John Holmberg]

He's saying it that fast? Yeah. What do you think? It's saffron.

[Caller/Contestant]

I'm a home cook as well. Brady.

[John Holmberg]

You like saffron?

[Toledo]

Oh, food.

[John Holmberg]

Guys, saffron is correct. That's three out of five here. We're getting closer and closer to winning. Whatever the hell that was. You were talking about the cat. Yeah. The arctic hat. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

I was gonna say Little Debbie. Swiss roll.

[John Holmberg]

Here we go.

[Brett Vesely]

Volume. It's really.

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Brett Vesely]

Expensive.

[John Holmberg]

Christ. Which country invented ice cream? You should know this. Which country invented ice cream? The arrogance has wiped away to the thousand yard gaze.

[Caller/Contestant]

I haven't the slightest clue.

[John Holmberg]

He's out on this one. No help from Philip. Which country? China invented ice cream? Chinese known for their ice cream. Italians saying he's got China. Italy.

[Brett Vesely]

No, I was thinking gelato and then. But I was thinking, did the Swiss jump in there or the cold?

[John Holmberg]

You think that? See, now I would think. And I'm not. I don't. I haven't looked the answer yet. That it would be a warmer nation that would invent ice cream to cool it off. Yeah. I wouldn't think that Switzerland would be.

[Brett Vesely]

They got some warm months.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, thanks. Ian Schwartz.

[Brett Vesely]

Rick Steves.

[John Holmberg]

All of a sudden they got themselves a day to travel there and they crave the cool.

[Caller/Contestant]

All right, so he gave us a clue. He said warm.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't.

[Caller/Contestant]

Still haven't the slightest clue.

[John Holmberg]

An idea.

[Caller/Contestant]

Brady, where you at?

[Brett Vesely]

Or ice cream.

[John Holmberg]

Just say Kevin Ray. Son of Kevin. Zero.

[Caller/Contestant]

Help. Thank you.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. He said Italy on July.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, but there's a difference between ice cream and gelato. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Then there's froyo. Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant]

I'd go older.

[John Holmberg]

Froyo, I think is probably Middle Eastern. And what was the initial one that you said? What's his name again? Philip.

[Brett Vesely]

Philip.

[John Holmberg]

Philip.

[Brett Vesely]

What are you thinking?

[John Holmberg]

He said China.

[Caller/Contestant]

I don't know, Some. Some old China. Or you think it's, I don't know, Rome or Egypt.

[John Holmberg]

Think of a dairy rich area. Yeah, like simplify and maybe you're overthinking it. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Maybe it came out of Wisconsin.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well, that wouldn't be a country. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But it's in a country. He'll figure it out eventually. Let him. Let him do the building blocks. That's right. Wisconsin would be the U.S. yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Very region of.

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Brett Vesely]

Dairy.

[John Holmberg]

It's a very.

[Brett Vesely]

The dairy land.

[John Holmberg]

1 of 1 50th of the United States. This is taking too goddamn long. We need an answer.

[Caller/Contestant]

Yeah, I mean, I'm going with. With China.

[John Holmberg]

What do you think Philip likes his old answers? China. Brady likes Wisconsin. And that's going along. And Zach likes Italy. The country of Wisconsin. Yeah, the beautiful. Oh, God. And get your passport and your flight years ago. Oh, my God. I know. The. The ancient.

[Caller/Contestant]

Let's go, China.

[John Holmberg]

He likes China. He likes China.

[Caller/Contestant]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Let's go, China.

[John Holmberg]

Let's go with China. China invented ice cream. Well, you gave him enough time to look it up online, so. Genius. China is right. One more, one more. You lift it up. Philip. That's right.

[Toledo]

Giving him a time limit or you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. This is number five.

[Toledo]

What's that on this one?

[John Holmberg]

What are we playing for again? The Arctic. The Arctic. Oh, my goodness.

[Toledo]

1999.

[John Holmberg]

$20. Everybody gets one. Keeps it cool. Kevin has to wear it at the next sun's broadcast up there in Portland. All right. Yeah. All right, here we go. Good luck, boys. For the win in Brady Gras, what is the name of the Japanese art of preparing and presenting Food. Oh, my gosh. Preparation. Oh. And presentation of food. The Japanese.

[Caller/Contestant]

Help me out, Brady.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna throw out origami. I don't even want you guys go down that road. I know. And also, Brady will fire off ching ching bing bang in a second, knowing that that isn't Japanese, but he will say it just to fill the air.

[Toledo]

Thank you for those.

[John Holmberg]

Are both dance in that? Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Would it be sushi?

[John Holmberg]

Sushi is an actual food. Is that the name of the presentation and preparation? That's. It's a valid thought. It's a word, you know, in Japanese. And that's what we're looking for.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Brady knows it. I didn't say he knows it or he doesn't know it. He just said sushi. Is that the answer? Sushi, the Japanese art fish.

[Brett Vesely]

Or is that the point of making.

[John Holmberg]

That preparation and presentation of food?

[Caller/Contestant]

Well, I looked it up, but being a sound moral fiber, I'm not going to say it.

[John Holmberg]

Don't look, Brady. He already looked.

[Caller/Contestant]

Yeah, he did.

[John Holmberg]

But you can tell him he's not right. You get one chance to say, brady, don't say sushi. Or yes, Brady, say sushi. I'll give you that right now. He says don't say sushi. It is sort of retarded to say sushi.

[Caller/Contestant]

Where are you at, Ray Jr?

[John Holmberg]

I feel like it ends in shimi somehow. Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Like sashimi.

[John Holmberg]

No, you're just thinking of the menu.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Gotta think of the entire. The entirety of it.

[Caller/Contestant]

John, we're never gonna get it. We might as well just wrap this up.

[John Holmberg]

Does it End in Is it? Does it? I would have accepted feng shui. It ends in sukay. I will give you a hint.

[Caller/Contestant]

Morisuke.

[John Holmberg]

He just said it. Never mind. He blew it for everyone. Now it's ruined. All right. Screw you. We're doing another one. And Philip, you don't get any more words. Ready. So it's just me and Brady. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What is the cheese traditionally made from? The milk of a donkey?

[Toledo]

Constant.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, cheese. What? Country of donkey. Great band name. What is the cheese traditionally made from the milk of a donkey? Or is a street donkey, as people sometimes say? It's not Gouda, is it? And Gouda come from donkeys. From a donkey's teat. Another great man name. Jesus Christ. Yeah. That was why I preempted. Ching, ching, bing, bang. The cheese traditionally made the milk of a donkey. What are you doing down there? I ain't. When them donkeys makes milk monster.

[Toledo]

Just to clarify, this is a real thing, right?

[John Holmberg]

Very. Okay. Donkey cheese.

[Caller/Contestant]

I milked a donkey once.

[John Holmberg]

Tell me all about it.

[Toledo]

Somebody's been waiting for confessional.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't know anything. Honestly, I didn't know you could milk a donkey.

[Toledo]

I'll go along with that.

[John Holmberg]

I thought donkey unmilkable.

[Toledo]

Is there horse cheese then too?

[John Holmberg]

I have no idea. I'm not eating it.

[Toledo]

I'm Googling it.

[John Holmberg]

Probably donkey cheese. Brady, we need an answer. It starts with a P. Brady, I need this. starts with a P. With a P, and it ends with an E. I'm.

[Toledo]

About to tee off.

[John Holmberg]

He says, yeah, he's got to go. He's got. He's on the over Papago, listening to the lion's roar. P ends in an E.

[Brett Vesely]

Jeez.

[John Holmberg]

You.

[Caller/Contestant]

Call yourself a foodie?

[John Holmberg]

Let me give you. Oh, never mind.

[Brett Vesely]

Have you had donkey cheese? Never knew it existed.

[Caller/Contestant]

Of course you haven't.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. I was gonna say pimento, but that's why Zach called his mom this morning. So she needed more donkey cheese. The fridge empty.

[Caller/Contestant]

God.

[John Holmberg]

Starts with a P. I thought this.

[Brett Vesely]

Would be a good.

[John Holmberg]

Ends with an e. And I'll give you a hint.

[Caller/Contestant]

I didn't Google this one and I know it.

[John Holmberg]

You do let him win the Arctic hat. I did.

[Caller/Contestant]

Fire off the other four answers.

[John Holmberg]

It is true. As a chef.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I'll give you a hint. Starts with P, ends with an E. Here's the hint. Here's the hint. Not you. You're out. You cheat. You'll never get it.

[Caller/Contestant]

I was honest about cheating.

[John Holmberg]

P. E. You'll never get it. You see what I'm doing? No, don't eyebrow raise your ceiling tiles. No, no, let it go. I like to watch it. I have to do play by play. It's radio, for God. His little face got excited, like he was pretending to know something. But deep down, his eyes never lie. They're always looking into the distance.

[Toledo]

Moment when. When his face brightens up like that. And now it's gone.

[John Holmberg]

It's gone. See, that's that. But here's the thing you got to learn. He does the facial things, like, he's hard at work, but his eyes are dead. Dead and cold. Like a shark's eye.

[Toledo]

You can see them. Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Like a doll's eyes. And that's when you know there's nothing there.

[Toledo]

25 years of looking into those eyes.

[John Holmberg]

Let's try Zach. P ends in an E. You'll never get it. I'm gonna give you five seconds, then I have to wrap it up on question five. You guys had this. Oh, you had Arctic hats. You were practically wearing them. They were. We were fitting in for Arctic hats. You have a suggestion? Look at those shoes. Yeah, there's a gay guy on TV in red shoes. Brady, don't get distracted by the tv. Come on, give me an answer. Name a cheese, for Christ's sake. Starts with a P, ends in an E. You'll never get it. All right, go back to the gay guy. A word. Zach, do you have a word for me? I was gonna say pimento before you said the peel. No, he was gonna say pimento cheese, which I think comes.

[Caller/Contestant]

He just said it.

[John Holmberg]

Pimento. Donkeys.

[Brett Vesely]

But it doesn't end with an E. That's right.

[John Holmberg]

He just went through the whole word and realized. No, he.

[Brett Vesely]

At the end.

[John Holmberg]

Phillips. He said. You just said it.

[Brett Vesely]

I know I did. Did I just say it or Zach said.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God.

[Caller/Contestant]

Zach said it.

[Brett Vesely]

Pimento.

[John Holmberg]

Neither one of you guys. Incorrect. Nobody said it. It's Houlay.

[Toledo]

Cacio. Cavallo is horse cheese, by the way.

[John Holmberg]

Don't even know where that comes from. I didn't know horses had nipples. Do they? They have to. They don't breastfeed. Well, they milk something. Well, you can milk a stallion. I've seen that. In eighth grade. True.

[Toledo]

Yeah. I don't know. Gemini's telling me it's cacio cavallo.

Over the label of the thing?

[Toledo]

Maybe it did look like it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they have simulated clear drain on the. On the screen right now. Yeah, they duct taped down on the bottom. You can't show that on TV because it's Drano. They're comparing how bad Drano is versus Professor Amos. And the. The drain here that they're showing is filled with rocks and garbage. I didn't think that's what Drano cleans out. You got bigger problems than that. Yeah, that's. You know who's piling in your.

[Brett Vesely]

Wait, listen.

[Toledo]

Judge Brady. You got rocks in garbage.

[John Holmberg]

What are you. The thing. Why are you pooping rocks? They should really be selling the shoes.

[Brett Vesely]

Kidney stones spitting out. Just draining. Just clogging the drain up.

[John Holmberg]

I can't imagine that you're using your bathroom at home if you're doing this. You were in a hospital usually. He's got it. He's pouring Drano on the rocks and hair. Where did they get so much? Oh, my God. And you know what? Professor Amos stuff is moving those rocks.

It's not because you had somewhere to be. You have plenty of time on your hands. He's employed. He's employed. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

[Caller/Contestant]

I'm working right now as I'm speaking to you guys.

[John Holmberg]

Are you. How much you selling it for?

[Caller/Contestant]

Enough.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Normally a guy like you says, I'm working right now, and his mouth is full, so I'm surprised you're talking on the phone. All right, here we go. The topic that you would like. We've already gotten rid of music. We've got movies, we've got tv. What else we got still in the list? Sports, science, tech. What do you got, boys? Let's go. Movies. Movies? You want to go with movies, Isaiah? I don't think it's going to last long, and I don't think this matters too much.

[Caller/Contestant]

Oh, I'll ask around.

[John Holmberg]

All right, here we go. Which of the Harry Potter films is the highest grossing? And I don't need the full name. Just go 1, 2, 3, whatever. Which of the. I'll give you multiple choice. 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[Caller/Contestant]

If I say something, is that my final answer?

[John Holmberg]

No answer the guys. Yeah. If I ask a number, can you check the name of it? Yeah. Is for Order of Phoenix. It is. I'm gonna go four. He says four.

[Brett Vesely]

Really? Foreign. Because it. What was a Goblet of Fire?

[John Holmberg]

Order of Phoenix was the one with Robert Pattinson. Yeah. Isaiah likes the Sorcerer's Stone.

[Caller/Contestant]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Because he likes anything rock shaped. Because Order of Phoenix was the first one that Voldemort appeared in. I want to see.

[Brett Vesely]

Picking up. Okay, let's go with Order of Phoenix.

[John Holmberg]

Order of the Phoenix, Number four. You all right with that, Isaiah? He says Sorcerer's Stone.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, he's pretty.

[John Holmberg]

He's pretty. What do you think? Yeah. When's the last time he's got all day? He probably watches it three or four times a week. Fine.

[Toledo]

Let's go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Sorcerer's Stone. From Isaiah the lunatic. I'm sorry. No, it was the Deathly Hallows Part 2. The second one was the biggest. Oh, we're keeping him on the line for a little bit. Let's. All right. The same rules apply as last time. If you answer this, it comes back to you. Win again. Right. So just you. All right, Isaiah.

[Caller/Contestant]

Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not. Here we go. Who played Barbie in the 2023 movie of the same name? Oh. Oh, my God. Are you typing it? Don't be a dick, Isaiah. Play along.

[Caller/Contestant]

No typing. I'm promised no typing artist. Same name as the Barbie who played Barbie.

[John Holmberg]

You're asking your phone right in front of us.

[Caller/Contestant]

No, I swear. I swear I'm not.

[John Holmberg]

I swear. He's got two phones. He's got two phones.

[Caller/Contestant]

No, I really.

[Brett Vesely]

I wish.

[Caller/Contestant]

I'm looking it up. I can't get no help, no hint.

[John Holmberg]

Who played Barbie, like, two years ago?

[Toledo]

Everywhere.

[John Holmberg]

What'd you say?

[Caller/Contestant]

Margot Roby. Something like that.

[John Holmberg]

It's something like that because you're reading it, but nice job, jackass. You're the worst actor I've ever been on a phone with. All right. Was it Margot Roby? That seems to be something that popped into my brain the second the phone said. All right. All right, Jackass. Isaiah. Here we go. We're going to try. I'll give you that. That's one. You guys are back on the board with Isaiah. I want to get him the prize. What are we playing for? The drain stuff? That's what? He needs something under anything that comes out from underneath the sink. He needs that. All right, here we go.

[Caller/Contestant]

Ready?

[John Holmberg]

Who played Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer? Is it still just him? No, it's all you, Cillian Murphy.

[Caller/Contestant]

Is this the group effort?

[Toledo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Hold on.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, no. Oh, good. I'm glad you joined the group then. Thanks for announcing. Is this a group effort? Because I don't know.

[Toledo]

I love it.

[John Holmberg]

Brady, you like his answer? All right. That's right. I believe it is.

[Brett Vesely]

Let's check with Isaiah.

[Toledo]

What does your phone say?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, did you get that one?

[Caller/Contestant]

I can't use my phone right now. Hands free, Liar.

[John Holmberg]

All right, here we go. Oppenheimer. Yeah, Barbenheimer. That's right. Same weekend that Barbie and Oppenheimer came out. It was Barbenheimer. All right, let's go, Isaiah. Oh, getting out of the car. Are you okay, Isaiah?

[Caller/Contestant]

Yes, I'm cool right now. One second. I'm ready, though.

[John Holmberg]

Here we go. It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness. And I'm absolutely thrilled to tell you about my [e-mail]. you've heard me mention Kevin Costner, Trey McBride, other countless celebrities and pro athletes and how they chose lifted trucks. But that doesn't mean it's only for actors and pro athletes. It's for all of you. Everybody who loves a cool adventure. So if you're a huge celebrity like me or just an average Joe who wants the best truck available, head on over to Lifted Trucks. They live up to being the number one custom truck dealer for over 30 years. 10,000 five star reviews can't be wrong. Lifted trucks dot com. Work hard, play hard, drive harder. Holmberg's morning sickness sounds like the chirping. Name one of the three kittens in Disney's the Aristocrats.

[Brett Vesely]

Wow. Pussy.

[Caller/Contestant]

Pussy.

[John Holmberg]

You read it wrong.

[Caller/Contestant]

I said pussy.

[John Holmberg]

One of the three kittens in Disney's Aristocrats.

[Caller/Contestant]

Let's go with pussy.

[John Holmberg]

He wants to go with. Are you guys going with. You with the crackheads?

[Toledo]

Brady.

[Caller/Contestant]

Brady knows. I'll go with Brady. Final answer.

[John Holmberg]

Brady, he's. You're the final answer.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, well, that's what we're going with.

[John Holmberg]

He would like to go with Brady's answer as his final answer. This guy's out of his brain. I love him.

[Caller/Contestant]

Where are you driving? I'm at the food truck in front of your guys's office.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, awesome. All right. Is that that red dot on Brady's head? What's going on?

[Toledo]

Just maybe a throw in Prize If Isaiah makes it all the way.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean makes it all the way? They're not getting past this.

[Toledo]

Will you take Isaiah to the Rah Rah Room?

[John Holmberg]

Hell no. Oh, my God. Don't take him down there. Take him to the Boom Boom Room. Take him to Boom Boom. Anything. Brady, I go. I don't know. I'll give you. I'll give you multiple choice. All right, ready? After sun, Marie, Miranda, Carrie. I like Marie.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm leaning towards Marie, but.

[John Holmberg]

Isaiah, what about you? Yeah, after sun, Miranda, Carrie, Marie.

[Brett Vesely]

Let's. Let's go with Marie.

[John Holmberg]

He likes Marie. Yeah, Isaiah, you good with Marie or you still want to lean on.

[Caller/Contestant]

Miranda?

[John Holmberg]

He likes Miranda. That was his favorite one.

[Caller/Contestant]

Sounds like a. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Sounds like a what? Yeah, you know, like a cat's name from a Disney special.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I have a feeling you would call Isaiah and go, I'm so sorry. Your entire family was killed last night. You hear? It's been a terrible, terrible mix up. You're the one with the brain cancer.

[Brett Vesely]

Jumped in there really quickly.

[John Holmberg]

I did like Miranda. And this is a guy who probably accidentally watched the Aristocrats yesterday.

[Caller/Contestant]

Oh, let's go with it. Miranda.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, we'll go with Miranda.

[John Holmberg]

Miranda's the final answer from the three. It was Marie. Are you guys listening to the crackhead Trust you idiots. All right, sorry, we gotta let you go now. Isaiah, you're insane.

[Brett Vesely]

He did that on purpose.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Dexter says.

[Toledo]

John, I know this is the point and I still love the segment, but God, am I dumber for having listened.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I know it doesn't. That whole time Isaiah's out there with us driving around, he's in a car. He's in 2 tons of moving metal. Legally operating a vehicle.

[Toledo]

Hopefully he was parked.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's. He's flying. What was the. What was the guy with the leg? Oh, Kenny. Kenny. Kenny is a safer driver than. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Everything about Kenny seems safer now. Now maybe not before. I wonder if Kenny was swerving to avoid Isaiah and that's how his leg fell off. All right, you got one more.

[Brett Vesely]

Careful in that hell.

[John Holmberg]

All right, we'll try one more. John? John, are you there?

[Caller/Contestant]

Yes, it's John.

[John Holmberg]

Are you also on crack cocaine, John, or are we clear?

[Caller/Contestant]

I am not.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Caller/Contestant]

I am not. Happy birthday, Brady. Thank you, Birthday K Ray.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you. Would you like to go? I'll let you guys pick anything you want, any topic, any of them. What do you got?

[Caller/Contestant]

We'll go with Brady. What do you think, man?

[John Holmberg]

The top drink let's go back to food and drink.

[Brett Vesely]

Food and drink.

[John Holmberg]

Food and drink. Is it okay?

[Brett Vesely]

Another pule.

[Toledo]

Itching for some animals.

[John Holmberg]

All right, I'll just.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, let's go. Some animals.

[John Holmberg]

Animals again.

[Brett Vesely]

I got them right in the first place.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you didn't. You actually never said that. It's not an animal. It was determined that that's a mammal animal. It's not an animal. It's a mammal. And when they asked animals besides that, the question was longest, not biggest. That's different, too. And then the anteater is the. The other one that they say. And you never said that.

[Brett Vesely]

And how long is the blue whale?

[John Holmberg]

It's a. It's a large tongue, but it also said animal. And then the thing and I read it that they don't consider it that a tongue in a blue whale's mouth.

[Brett Vesely]

Gosh.

[John Holmberg]

All right, it has. It's similar, but it's a pal or a plate for food. Smashing. Okay. Different than the tongues we're talking about. And I knew he'd get cocky about it because he can't be wrong about animals and often is. All right, we'll go with animals then. Ready? Here we go. What are we playing for? Yeah, what are we playing for, though? Oh, find the prize.

[Toledo]

Well, I've got something that if we still want to give the. The chemicals there.

[John Holmberg]

No. Oh, that's a cool fan, though.

[Toledo]

Playing for the turbo pump, John. 1999. This automatic cordless powered liquid transfer pump has an auto stop sensor that detects when a tank is full. You can transfer gas, water, oil, and more without the mess. Transfer over a gallon in just seconds.

[Brett Vesely]

Run out of gas?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That's pretty neat. Too bad. We can get Isaiah back on the phone. He'd have all the uses for that thing. That's neat. All right, here we go. Animals. John, are you there still?

[Caller/Contestant]

Yes, I'm still here.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Yep. On average, within 10 either direction. How many teeth does a dolphin have? 10 on either direction. Yeah, I'll give you 10. I'll give you a leeway of 20. Really? Well, if you're within 20, I'll give you a lot.

[Caller/Contestant]

There's got to be a lot.

[John Holmberg]

There's a lot. I'll tell you. It's a lot. You said 10 to 12. If you're within. I'll even say if you're within 20 on either end, I'll give it to you. Okay. On 20. 20 on either side.

[Caller/Contestant]

80 seemed like.

[Brett Vesely]

40 on.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna tell you, shooting low. I'm gonna just give you the hint that you're shooting low. Shooting low on each side. I'm gonna double it.

[Caller/Contestant]

Go with 180. That's not double, but whatever.

[John Holmberg]

But, you know, it's good Isaiah math.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll go a hundred.

[John Holmberg]

It says a hundred teeth. I was gonna say 95. 95. John, what do you think? What's the difference?

[Caller/Contestant]

I'm thinking. I still wanna. Yeah, right. We'll go with Brady. We'll go with 100.

[John Holmberg]

Brady says 100. You're all right with that? Yeah, I should have gone with any of it. 240 teeth in a dolphin's mouth. I'll give you another chance. That' tough one. Let's go again. Cool. Thank you. All right, let's try again. What color are flamingos when they're born? I'll ask it right now. White. White. Black. Gray or pink? White. Black. Gray or pink? Yeah. Why is this funny? What's racist about this? I was. I'm laughing at him laughing.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm going with white.

[John Holmberg]

Thinks a white like white. I was going to go gray, but he likes gray. John, do you have an answer?

[Caller/Contestant]

I like gray, too. I like gray, too.

[John Holmberg]

Grays and a white. All right. Gray is correct. Gray is correct. That's one, boys.

[Brett Vesely]

Nice job. There we go.

[John Holmberg]

You like eagles? Yeah. Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant]

I like that too, man.

[John Holmberg]

Eagle is correct. Well done. Eagle is right. Nicely done.

[Caller/Contestant]

Nice.

[John Holmberg]

Here we go, boys. This is three, right? Yep. Playing for that weird. Weird tweaky, right? Yeah. I'll give you one. I won't win it. Three. I don't have time for this anymore. How many brains. And I'll give you within one. Does a giant Pacific octopus have? How many brains?

[Caller/Contestant]

Oh, I've heard this. I've heard this before. It is multiple.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that would be the brains. Brains is the dead giveaway with that. Like, how many brains, can I ask, is within 10? Yep, within 10. I'll give it to you within 10.

[Caller/Contestant]

Oh, within 10. Yeah, I know there was like, it's at least. At least seven. It's six or seven.

[John Holmberg]

Well, if I'm giving it to you within.

[Caller/Contestant]

I'm not Googling anything either, too, by the way.

[John Holmberg]

By the way, guys, initially gonna say 6. I'm just gonna take away my within 10 if you guys are gonna guess that low.

[Brett Vesely]

If there's eight legs, would there be one for each leg?

[John Holmberg]

And then.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, brain would be 9 or 9.

[John Holmberg]

9. Let's go 9. Like 9.

[Caller/Contestant]

9.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know if there's a brain per leg, but nine is correct. Well done.

[Caller/Contestant]

Let's go, Brady.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't like to end on that one. One more. All right, That's a good one. What was the name of the snake in the Jungle Book? This is for the win Book tattoo. You have a Jungle Book tattoo?

[Caller/Contestant]

I do. On my chest. The original tiger is raja from the 50s.

[John Holmberg]

No kidding.

[Brett Vesely]

Right?

[John Holmberg]

And you don't remember the snake's name and you memorialize. Oh, you do know it.

[Caller/Contestant]

No, it's something like that. And I do remember. This was one of my. My kids are grown and older, but they love the Jungle Book. I used to watch it and read the books to a man.

[John Holmberg]

None of this is an answer.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, Mowgli, you got bad Baloo. See? Orangutan or King Louie.

[Caller/Contestant]

It was something really simple, though, man. It was like. Like jaw or.

[Brett Vesely]

It's not right.

[Caller/Contestant]

Car or something like that.

[Brett Vesely]

It is.

Yeah, let's go with Khan.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody good with Khan.

[Caller/Contestant]

I'm, like, dropping the N, man. I think it's all right.

We know that that's all right. We understand. Most of our listeners do.

[Caller/Contestant]

That one was for you, Brett.

[John Holmberg]

All right, we gotta go. Khan or ka. Brady, you have final answer. Let's drop the N. Okay, we'll drop the N. Drop the N. Are you sure? No, Brady, you have the final answer for the win.

You're the only one that can decide this properly.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm going with Khan.

[John Holmberg]

He's going with Khan. It's Khan. You should have dropped the F. What an unfortunate nightmare for everybody. Sorry, John. Thanks for winning, loser. Brady, the birthday boy wrecks it for everyone.

[Toledo]

Thanks for saving us money.

[John Holmberg]

No prizes. And who's the big winner on your birthday? Toledo. Brett and John. $0.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm glad it worked out.

[John Holmberg]

It did for all of us. Three times. Excellent. Nice job. Yeah. Yeah, that was. That was about every year, Con. No, no. Don't start being a baby like you did with rock. You've gotten plenty of gifts. We all play on our birthdays. I didn't about anything to blame this year. Every year I've done that question in the first round when you. You announced it and he was like, oh, I knew that. I knew that. That's how it always. Well, there you go. It was fun, though. Nice job. And hopefully that crackhead calls back another time and tells us he's. He's all better.

[Brett Vesely]

Should have known.

[John Holmberg]

Drop the N. You drop the N. The phrase that pays, man. There it goes. The 2026 version of Brady Gro is over Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully. Ere, can you.
