• Brady Bogen [00:35]:

• Brady Bogen [04:31]:
  "John Gordon has fired this over. Cancel whatever plans you had for July 4th and start booking this thing... Black Sabbath is back on stage together."

The lineup is nothing short of legendary, featuring iconic bands like Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and special guests such as Billy Corgan and Dave Draiman. John Holmberg expresses a mix of enthusiasm and personal preference:

• John Holmberg [06:11]:
  "The best part for me is I'd leave right before Black Sabbath because I don't care to see them. I'd beat the traffic out of there."

Brady shares personal experiences from the training, illustrating practical self-defense techniques and scenarios:

  "If somebody put a shotgun to my head, what would you do? They have to be concerned about the blast radius... punching the bad guy in the nuts. It worked awesome."

The promotion effectively blends informative content with personal testimonials, highlighting the value of self-defense preparedness.

Segment 4: Marcus Jordan's DUI Incident

Shifting gears, the hosts discuss a recent news story about Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son, who was arrested for a DUI.

  "Marcus Jordan got popped for a DUI. His Lamborghini was caught on railroad tracks."

The conversation includes humorous takes on the incident, with Brady teasing about the possible fallout on family reputations:

• Brady Bogen [10:31]:

[Brady]

Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com we were busy looking at pictures. Sorry. Sorry about that, everybody. We were getting weird. It is. That's such a great song. Man, oh man, is that so? It makes me want to watch Breaking Bad again. Paul and I were talking Best wishes to Paul our. Our big guy Paul in the building at little medical emergency yesterday and he's laid up now. I mean, to no one's surprise, however still don't like it when the day like I always said about Ralphie May when the call came the news wasn't unexpected. It was when it happened. Like you weren't nobody's like, hey, you gotta call Ralphie's Ralphie's past how we all knew but Paul has hidden pulse. Now it's time for real friends to tell Paul the truth. It's time to friend. You can't keep expanding at your age and your height. I read something yesterday that deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms happen in fat people with high blood pressure and tall guys. No, no, we're not talking about that. And in tall guys, that's not diverticulitis. What the hell did you say that?

[Dick Toledo]

No, because deep vein thrombosis and all that.

[Brady]

Not even related. What's wrong with him? Somebody talk to him about it. Oh, Bailey, you're so stupid. Baby, you're so stupid. It's because we had Rosie Perez in the room for a second. Toledo caught it. Don't throw me off with that crap. Toledo diverticulitis. I'm not a doctor. I just knew about the one thing I'd read. It's tall people and fat people and he's both. So if we really care about him, we like, you're too fat and you're too tall and you can only change one of those things. But anyway, we were talking about what if you could etch a sketch your mind and take away a memory just to relive it again? Mostly TV shows or movies. What would it be? Because we both have friends. Re watching Breaking Bad. It's like if you could go back and watch that for the first time. I know yours is Sopranos for sure. 100, but it's Breaking Bad's right up there. Breaking Bad, Sopranos. If you could go back and feel that. I don't know what's gonna happen. Feeling again. Ah. So. And Paul almost lived it. He woke up in the hospital this morning and fired off a truly Paul text to all of us to let us know he's feeling better, complete with slurs and name calling and all sorts of stuff. So Paul's feeling good again, which is great, but we got to get him back in the mix. That's not good. Also, somebody said John in the trivia question, you answered that math so fast. I didn't know you were Jewish and Asian. All right, that's enough. Numerator, denominator. Those are easy ones. It's time now. Oh, and if you do have high blood pressure and you're six five, you're going to die of blood clots. So go to the hospital day, get that checked out. DVT is horrifying. Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms. I'm getting to that. Don't worry about that. You're going to run around thinking that that's going to be normal if your legs hurt. My sister killed my uncle from dvt. Killed him dead. I still blame her for it. There's no investigation ever. But he was complaining that his legs hurt. She decided to say, well, I'm a massage therapist in training. She rubbed on his thighs and calves. Two days later, his heart blew up because she loosened up the clots. That's my theory, because I'm right. He was bouncing around, healthy as can be, 52 years old. I got a little pain in my calves. I sit down too long. I sit at the office all day. That's the sign. DVT strikes guys who sit down for long periods of time. Be careful. Those are spooky ones. So Paul had. He escaped. He escaped it having clots in his body. You escape that stuff, you get to the hospital just in time. Otherwise it's going to grab you. So just a quick one if they like.

[John]

He was able to drive there?

[Brady]

Yeah. Don't stand up fast, that's all. If your legs start hurting. And don't hang around my sister. She'll rub those out and you'll die. She used to rub things out for guys and good things would happen. And then she killed my uncle. Before we get to the entertainment drill, John Gordon has fired this over. Cancel whatever plans you had for July 4th and start booking this thing. You're going to go to Villa park in Birmingham, England. It's Black Sabbaths back to the beginning. The last Black Sabbath live performance ever. Now, I know that sounds like. Why would I watch that? Wait till you hear this. You got Geezer Butler. Naomi's there, Ozzy's there, Bill Ward. Black Sabbath is back on stage together. Also performing along with being in the band. Ozzy Osbourne will do it. Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Hailstorm, Lamb of God, Anthrax and Mastodon. That's a day show. One day. Also special guest, Billy Corgan, Dave Draiman, Duff McKagan, Lizzie Hale, Jake E. Lee, Jonathan Davis from Korn, Fred Durst, K.K. downing. Oh, my God. Mike Borden. Faith no More. Papa Emeritus is going. I didn't know from Ghost. Oh, my God. Sammy Hagar slash Sleep Token, Tom Morello, Wolfgang Van Halen. This is just everyone who's going to be. That is the most epic rock show that has ever existed. July 5th, Birmingham, UK. Wow.

[John]

Is that a just all in one day Is that two?

[Brady]

Yes, July 5th. That's all it says. There's a July 5th show. Now, all those people at the end are starting at 6:00am you know, the Dave Draiman and that. They're just gonna be special guests and stuff. I'm sure that's. Yeah, they're not getting their time on stage, but they'll be moving in and out. Back to the beginning. Check it out. Just got it. Was that announced today? That is unreal. And the best part for me is I'd leave right before Black Sabbath because I don't care to see them. I'd beat the traffic out of there. The whole reason everybody'd go. I'd be walking the. It would look like I'm a firefighter in 9 11. When Black Sabbath went on. I'd be the only one going the other direction. Sabbath is on. Hurry up before Sweet Leaf comes up. I already saw Ozzy. I need to see. That's enough. I'll hear it on my drive home. Traffic free. And then you'll hear people going, but you couldn't have missed Black Sabbath. Won't say that I missed it. See ya. Anyway, so head on out to that. That's amazing. It's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. The deal is that you get personalized hands on right in front of your training for $199 for two solid months of everything they've got to offer their schedules right [e-mail] youm can get involved in their cardio class, their elite training, the self defense stuff. You've got core work. If you're older person. They've turned that silver sheepdogs thing into basically like retired police officers all head in there, keep their skills honed. It's amazing stuff. Like I told you, I was there on Monday and we worked out a scenario that if I was on the ground and somebody put a shotgun to my head in any direction, what would you do? And I watched these magicians work out a scenario on how this is the best possible way. You have to be concerned. This is craziness, Brady. You got to be concerned when you put the barrel away from you. When you pull it down next to the ground, there's a blast radius at that point because the gun's going off. So what's the safest way to keep that barrel from hitting the ground and then actually doing more damage to you even though you got missed by the shot? Think, Rab, think. We got something together. And keep in mind, and this is the fun part, it included punching the bad guy in the nuts. Oh, it worked awesome. The gun moved in, his nuts fell. It's very fast. And they'll probably have something new with that when I go there later today. Pretty awesome. You learn, you walk away saying, if this scenario ever hits me, I kind of at least have a thought in my head. It's crazy. And the best defense for anything. One of the trainers up there was walking. He's a younger kid was walking home and somebody pulled over and said, hey, kid, you want to ride? And open the door right there. And he was walking against the, you know, it was his neighborhood. So he's walking against traffic. So the passenger door opens and the guy starts to get out. Luckily, he's been trained really well. He's one of the trainers now, kicks the door, smashes the guy and starts running. And people would say, how's that self defense? I'm like, because he got to stand there and tell me the story without a scratch on him. Best self defense in the world is he didn't have to use anything other than his feet to get out of there. Recognize your situations. It's all crazy. You never know. It's called being prepared, not paranoid. React Defense Dot com. It's the home of Tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[John]

Yesterday, the news broke that Marcus Jordan, Michael's son, got popped for a dui. And when we saw the story, it said his Lamborghini was caught on railroad tracks. Yeah, like, what do you do? High center? No, he turned onto the tracks.

[Brady]

Yeah, we thought he was going over the tracks. Yeah, he turned onto the tracks, started to drive down the train tracks, and then got the one of the rails underneath so it's tilting to the side.

[John]

And you can see the DUI body cam.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, is it dui?

[John]

No, he's dui. And he was pretty agitated, but he didn't, you know, wasn't.

[Brady]

I didn't see agitated. I thought he was just, you know, just was what he was. I thought what I saw was a guy trying not to act drunk. That's.

[John]

They asked me if you drink. Yeah, a little.

[Brady]

A little.

[John]

A little. And then, you know, they also were searching his pockets, and then he said to him, if they'd like to check under my nuts.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John]

As a guy searching them, they found a little bag. They checked his pockets, found a little baggie of cocaine.

[Brady]

Did they? Yeah, I didn't see that part.

[John]

So he was charged with a DUI crash with property damage, possession of cocaine, and resisting an officer without violence.

[Brady]

Huh.

[John]

He was released a few hours later. And yes, he was wearing Air Jordans, if you're wondering.

[Brady]

Of course he was. He gets them for free. I bet you Michael's starting to rethink that whole Marcus for Jimmy Butler trade he made about 25 years ago. Jimmy Butler is Michael Jordan's son. You heard it here. Stamp it. It's a fact.

[Dick Toledo]

Been hearing it here for 10 years.

[Brady]

It's a fact.

[John]

The fact Adrian Brody was talking about when he's on the set of the Brutalist, that a makeup artist mistaken his prostate, his nose for a prosthetic nose. She started putting makeup removal on it.

[Brady]

Trying to pull his giant nose off. Yeah. Oh, poor bastard.

[John]

No, it's real love.

[Brady]

Yeah, poor guy. He does have a huge honker. And that's from me. You hear me tell you you got a big nose. You got a big ass nose. You got a beak. You're too can, Sam.

[John]

A lot of prop.

[Brady]

Not that. At least Bradley's could get thrown out. You have one of them maestro noses, we call it in the biz.

[John]

There's some prop bets out for the Super Bowl. Travis Kelsey Proposes to Taylor Swift after the game.

[Dick Toledo]

Had that one last two years.

[Brady]

But you can't have that. That be real. That can't be a money bet. Because why wouldn't Travis Kelsey place everything he owns on it? True. Or tell his friend. Put your house, your car. It's a. It's a bet that can be manipulated.

[John]

A coach or player will cry during the national anthem. Quarterback catches a pass.

[Brady]

Where are these prop bets?

[John]

It doesn't say.

[Brady]

But it doesn't say what? Because I don't like Fanduel does real ones.

[John]

There's prop bets on Fanduel.

[Brady]

I'm not sure if those are not those. Because the prop like those are bets you can do at your house. But you can't put coach or player. Christ. Because if I was the long snapper for the Chiefs. Honey, gather everything we own and bet that I. That a player or coach will cry during the national anthem. And I will run to a camera sobbing. Who will the MVP mention, huh?

[Dick Toledo]

Won't those just be even money?

[Brady]

So you still double your money. Yeah, that's true.

[John]

Who will the MVP mention first? God or Jesus? Favorite.

[Dick Toledo]

If it's Mahomes, it's God.

[Brady]

It's God. Molly Hatchet.

[John]

And then there's always. I think Fanduel have this one.

[Brady]

Get out there. I'm gonna do that Molly Hatchet thing. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I want to just thanks all things possible. Molly Hatch. If it weren't for my Hatch, I probably win another super the color of.

[John]

Gatorade port on the winning coach.

[Brady]

Green. Again, manipulated. So those bets are kind of. They're not going to be sanctioned on a real betting place. And they probably won't pay in money. They'll pay in credits. Sure, a few people know those. Yeah, because there's too many people that know. Like the guy who pours Gatorade, right? Like he doesn't even if it's a 5050 bet. If he's got $1,000, he just got $2,000. Probably telling Jimmy the nose is right. Tell Tommy two eyes and then Tommy two eyes will tell him, hey, thanks, kid, for being our insider. His 10K. Exactly. Because these gu put the whole Bergen street business on. You know, we made $2 million on Blue Gatorade. Ooh, goo goo.

[John]

In another survey about the Super Bowl, 13% of Americans say God cares which team wins the Super Bowl. And 19% believe that God determines the winner.

[Brady]

19% of the 13% or 19% total St. God.

[John]

90% of the people surveyed wow.

[Dick Toledo]

Looking on FanDuel. What's an octopus? You're better. You know, it says player to record.

[Brady]

An octopus in football.

[Dick Toledo]

In the game. During the game.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

Saquon Jalen, A.J. brown, Travis Kelsey, Dallas.

[John]

Run.

[Brady]

That's too many. Like, octopus.

[John]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

I don't know what an octopus is.

[Brady]

I don't either. Google that.

[Dick Toledo]

That's what I'm looking for.

[Brady]

The hell's an octopus? I have no idea. I'm trying to figure the number eight would be involved in all of them.

[John]

They take out eight cheerleaders on the sidelines.

[Brady]

They impregnate eight girls. An octopus. You know what it is? Here it is.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, it's gone on a two point conversion.

[Brady]

Oh, gets an eight. Oh, that's new to me. The octopus. A player scores a touchdown and also gets the two point conversion. Well, Saquon Barkley's the one I'd bet there. Yeah, exactly. That's neat. I might bet that just because it's new and exciting and fun. John, you smell good. Nice. He just wandered over here with.

[John]

Not like the other days.

[Brady]

No. Most of the times you stink. Man up in his game. Half a woody there. There you go. Yeah, the football bets are weird because they're.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, I'm not finding any weird problems.

[Brady]

You don't get the ones that can be manipulated. That's. That's for house pets.

[John]

I'd guess they'd have the Gatorade bet.

[Brady]

Why? Like we just said, the guy's loading the thing. They bet their house. The dude in charge of Gatorade would be like, we can make this happen. They can't do it. It's a manipulated bet. Like nobody would sanction. You know the right person. You're good, right? Yeah. I don't mean none. I'm just saying. Yeah. And you might know a guy who knows a guy, and the next thing you know, that trickles down to like a billion bets on the Gatorade color. They wouldn't. They would pay nothing. They wouldn't risk that. Nope. It's 10:12. We're all done here. Larry's coming up next. You guys have yourselves a fantastic day. We'll see you tomorrow. Right here in the morning sickness. Hel. Most powerful rock radio station, he said, fully erected.
