My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett. Big Dick Toledo. And we're ready to go for the Super Bowl Phoenix open week. And it's just going to be unfortunately, absolutely perfect here all week long. So turn the root on, everybody. This is the last chance. Today's the day they. They all start kind of slow trickling in. Thursday will be the day. We see the planes land. And they're coming in, though. They're on their way.
Brady Bogen
Restrictions.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Everything that you do do with a chip on your shoulder as a Phoenician, just don't. Don't welcome them.
Brett Vesely
Careful, though. Then those Philadelphians are going to feel.
John Holmberg
Like right at home. If you're dicks, Philadelphia Philadelphians always think they're tougher than you. They're never going to concede to Phoenix toughness. So they'll turn into bigger dicks, and then no one will get along and they'll just go home. They're not staying. We can't even let them think to stay. They're the ones that come. Here are the Philadelphians with money. And that's a scary proposition.
Brady Bogen
Old money.
John Holmberg
Oh, scary. To think of it. Awful. Philadelphians holding cash, wanting to buy winter condo. No, no. Tell them we're out of water. They'll lose their minds. And we're running out of water. You're gonna say, gotta have water. Yeah, they're coming to Kansas City. You're coming. You're going. You people don't understand. Like, you just. You'll fumble around looking at big buildings and stuff.
Brady Bogen
There will be about 30 more. 30 new Sylvester Stallone statues.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what will. That's what it. And look, to be honest, Philadelphians, your. Your hero, Rocky so didn't want to be part of Philadelphia as a native. He developed a Brooklyn accent. So you go figure out what, what, what Philly really means. Your hero talks like he's from somewhere else. And you guys didn't pick nobody from Philly. Picked up on that. He's one of ours from Philly. You know, he loves our water. Nope, he's not from Philly. He talks. Oh, you know, I'm really. I'm from Philadelphia. Nobody sounds like that in Philadelphia. Because you know why the tougher city is Brooklyn. You guys just play tough. The only thing you're remembered for, Philly, is giving Tom Hanks AIDS that's it. And maybe the Flex Seal guy's starting to get a little. But, yeah, ask most people. Like, well, Rocky was clearly born and raised in Brooklyn. Ended up in Philadelphia. No.
Brady Bogen
Always mess up his. Mess up his first name. Is it Vince Papelli or whatever?
Toledo
No.
John Holmberg
Vince. No, that's. No, that's not Flex Seal guy. Phil.
Brady Bogen
I know.
John Holmberg
Vince Papali or whatever. I don't know who the. Yeah. Oh, you're talking about Miracle. Yeah, we're talking about that Miracle, the Philadelphia native that played street football. Yeah. Nobody for, you know, we don't have. As Phoenicians, we don't wander around saying, well, I'm talking to this guy, and he tells me, you know, busboy comes over, got his thumb in the water, and I'm from Phoenix, so I ain't dealing with. We don't have that I'm from Phoenix thing. But Philadelphia people will say that, you know, the Uber driver turns to me, says, where you guys want to go? I'm from Philly. I don't need people talking to me like that. Like, what does that have to do with anything? Like, you're just. You're intolerant of all words. We need something. I'm from Phoenix. I tip really big, and I walked away, and everybody was happy. I'm casual and nice. We got to kill that vibe.
Brett Vesely
Most of those back east cities, though.
Brady Bogen
I mean, if they find out you're from. You're probably not used to this weather.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they'll weather us to death. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Most of those cities back east are garbage.
Brett Vesely
And Boston and just Philly screams out.
John Holmberg
I'm from Philly at every turn. Guy had my two dads on his tv. Well, I'm from Philly. I putting up with that. Like, what does that have to do. You just didn't like a TV show. It has nothing to do with where you were brought up. I'm from Philly. Well, get used to it for a week, then they'll be gone. Hopefully, all of them will be gone. Hopefully.
Brett Vesely
Tweakers unite. Starting the Sawzalls. Ready? Let's get those catalytic converters, those rental.
John Holmberg
Cars and everything, and screw up their entire trip. Oh, I went outside. My catalytic converter was going, I'm from Philly. I had to look at this and wonder, what's being from Philly have to do with anything other than that I scream it at every turn.
Brady Bogen
This wouldn't happen in Philly.
John Holmberg
This guy's driving the speed limit. He's obeying all the rules. He's stopping at stops. And I'm from Philly. I say, hey, Uber driver, I'm from Philly. So what? So what? I follow the street laws, you idiot. Sit down. So the Philly people will be here and then the golfers are gonna start rolling in and that's gonna be quite a show. So we've got ourselves a week on our hands and already downtown somebody made a mockery and a mess of the NFL Experience and stole a hundred thousand dollars worth of production equipment. Oh, like the first day. So two people wandered up and got a bunch of equipment. It might be from our neighbors here at Video West. It was a third party group. So they just went and grabbed probably just a couple of cameras at this point. Those things are so expensive, it's ridiculous. So they're trying to figure that out. But they already messed up the Super Bowl Experience. I have locals enjoyed that. Yesterday I had a bunch of friends go over to the NFL Experience and if you haven't been, today and tomorrow are the last real good days to go where you can actually get in there and not wait in line. It turns into Disneyland so fast. But I've been there a couple of times, luckily. Well, I've had Super bowl tickets. So when you have the super bowl ticket, you get to go in on Sunday with just super bowl ticket holders. They don't let anybody else in. So it goes from 200,000 people, no joke, to down to the 70 that'll be at the game. And they're not all the things. It feels huge with 50,000 people in it. And I was there when it was in town here. I went on a Monday or Tuesday and it was empty and I got to run through the whole thing. And it is an. They do an amazing job putting that, just making it fun and museuming and you get to see all the cool stuff and the Lombardi trophies and all the super bowl rings are there. And then all the camera on your way out. Yeah, you grab a hundred thousand dollar camera and you walk out the door from Video West. They just leave them laying around. But yeah, it's, it's worth going. If you can take today and do it, it's worth doing it tomorrow. Wednesday, Thursday, forget it. It's going to be, it's going to be an ass show downtown in a huge way. But it will. You know what? We'll deal with it. I had dinner with our boss man Tripp on Saturday and he goes, it's just one week. It's going to be a pain in the ass. But it's just one boy. He's absolutely right.
Brett Vesely
So we won't see him all week then, right? He's probably out of town.
John Holmberg
No, he's got stuff to do. Yeah, he's definitely.
Brady Bogen
He's a lot of app.
John Holmberg
He's in Seattle today. He's, he's, he's bouncing around. He's. He's being the corporate butterfly. You guys. Deal with it. You guys, it's one week. I'm not going to be part of it. But it's only one week. And he's not wrong. So we'll just tolerate. And I feel most sorry for people who work up in North Scottsdale because it's going to be all week for you guys. Nuts. But it's beautiful. And the weather. Good Lord. Looking at the west, 75, 76, 75, Saturday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday. It's going to be perfect.
Brady Bogen
Yep.
John Holmberg
Chamber of Commerce. The worst part is it's all going to be televised. If you don't like football, you probably like golf. If you don't like golf, you probably like football or both. And it is. We are going to look beautiful on tv. And I can only imagine that the people who live in New Hampshire this weekend, who faced Mount Washington 108 degrees below zero with wind chill, watching this on TV one week after that, thinking, you know, we should leave. We should go there. And then they dragged their ideas over here. I'm so against all out. Yeah. People are against Mexican immigration. I'm against interstate immigrants. You stay where you are. Just. Just leave us be. We grew. We're done. The smart people figured it out first. People. So you aren't from here. Yep. But that's the way we are now. So we all kind of made this happen. And that's enough. We got to stop being on TV.
Brady Bogen
So much, check out the resorts and then go back.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show up for a couple of weeks. No new residents. That's the deal. We don't want you moving in here because you'll bring your stupid ideas and your nonsense and your, I'm from Philly. And. And then you'll just come here and complain. There's no, like, you know, diversity. Where's the Philly cheese? The West Philly town. We don't want a Philly town. We didn't build one in. You got no Chinatown, right? You ever seen one of those in one of the major cities? It's dump. There's not one nice Chinatown. There's laundry hanging from building to building. They do it like China. I don't want. I don't want anything about China here. The balloons and stuff, that's fine. Float over us. China, we don't care about that. But don't land.
Brady Bogen
Trench gate is beautiful, right?
John Holmberg
Usually. Usually that. Wow, that's kind of neat architecture. God, everything smells like weird corn chips and some type of fish.
Brett Vesely
Just go to lilies. That's where it's at. You're fine.
John Holmberg
There's Chinese restaurants. We don't need a whole gaggle of it where you look up and you see actual China in action. Nothing about China is appealing to me. We don't want to rebuild it here. They don't bring the best parts. It's not like, you know, wall replica. It's the cruddy, you know, gigantic, messy bazaars that they put together. The wet markets. No, I don't want to Chinat. I was in Chinatown in New York. I was in Chinatown in Los Angeles, and I was in Chinatown in Chicago. All of them are horrible. The best Mexican food I've ever had. Chinatown in Los Angeles, ever. Yeah, I know, because they put it on outside. And these Mexicans weren't stupid. No, it stinks in there, doesn't it? Home. This is some good stuff. Have a burrito. And I did, and it was amazing.
Brady Bogen
It's the same thing when you go to the Chinatown in San Francisco.
John Holmberg
Once you go through the gate, well, it's a dump. It's gross. Yeah, we're always getting blamed. You guys don't have any culture. We got Indians. Go down to the Heard Museum and experience our culture. That's rude. It's racist that you say we don't have culture because the whole place is Indian based. Not that culture. You know, real stuff like Billy has. Oh, God. Go give Tom Hanks AIDS again. Get out of here.
Brett Vesely
We got turquoise and kachina dolls. We have our.
John Holmberg
You guys are so tough. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Philadelphia is hauling oats. How tough can that city be, really? Philly soul and it's two white guys. That's how your badass is.
Brett Vesely
I'll keep them, though. I like that.
John Holmberg
I love hauling oats, but that's not a city. I'm sitting there flexing behind you guys. Watch it. We're from Philly. We'll throw hauling oats at you. I'm like, all right, I'm not afraid of you.
Brady Bogen
I can't go for that.
John Holmberg
You're just loud and short, that's all. Anyway, did you guys watch the Grammys last night?
Brady Bogen
I saw one category the Best rap album. And then I went back and forth in between. I checked out the Jimmy Fallon's Password.
John Holmberg
I was watching Jimmy Fallon's Password is Anxiety on television. Actually, the Grammys were pretty good. Last night. They did a 50th anniversary of hip Hop celebration with the Roots.
Brett Vesely
It was Fallon there. I mean, the Roots were there.
John Holmberg
Well, they probably had them tied to something like, I gotta get out there. I gotta be part of this. 50 years of hip hop is me.
Brady Bogen
He's trying to run off the Password to get over there.
John Holmberg
The. The 50 years of hip hop thing was ridiculously cool. And they had like. I kept going, who's that? Who's that? And it was like, I think Sugar Hill Gang, the remaining members of that. And all these people just kept popping up. And then Busta Rhymes came out and just devastated the stage and run dmc, what's left of them. And boom, boom, boom, boom. And they put. It was one long song, and it was unreal how good it was. And it was all Quest love from the Roots put this whole thing together, and it was like, get up and dancing. Remember last year at the super bowl halftime show? Holy crap, is this good? Yeah, it was that. It was that good. It was pretty amazing. My favorite part of the Grammys last night was right before Harry Styles performed. He was introduced by his producer and longtime friend. Good, like a best friend and the guy who produces him. And he told the story about how he doesn't call Harry Styles Harry anymore. He calls him Gary. And the reason he calls him Gary is because he wants him to remember who he is. Everybody else knows him as Harry. He knows him as who he really is. So he's changed his name to kind of make him like, you're Gar. Deep down, I know who you are. So let's not blow up the ego and the. Let's not lose ourselves in this, you know, tempest of fame. I'm gonna call you Gary to bring you back down to earth. The man's name is Kid Harpoon. Who said that? And I laughed for half hour. And they're like, kid Harpoon wants to keep Harry Styles ego in check.
Brady Bogen
That comes from Kid Harp.
John Holmberg
I'm Kid Harpoon. You think that's probably how the conversation. Hey, you know, I'm feeling pretty gray about myself right now. I don't know, maybe Olivia Wilde and I are going to do something nutty. Hey, look, I have to tell you something airy. I'm going to start calling you Gary because you're getting a little big for your Britches. Don't you think? You think so, Kid Harpoon? Do you think I'm the one getting big for me britches? Kid Harpoon. Names are important, aren't they? Kid Harpoon. He wants. He had to tell. People call me Kid Harpoon. That's my. Well, your name's Trevor. No, it's Kid Harpoon. Now. I'm feeling pretty. I'm feeling pretty good about this. I want people to know me as Kid Harpoon. But he keeps other people down, you know, like, that's not.
Brady Bogen
Keep him grounded.
John Holmberg
Look, Harry Styles, the stage name of yours. That is your actual name. I'm not gonna go with that anymore. I'm gonna call you Gary. Meanwhile, you call me Kid Harpoon, and we're gonna keep each other in check. Kid Harpoon. Harry Styles won the night with the big win at the end. And everybody's crying that it's, you know, a conspiracy against Beyonce, that weird white people from England will beat her every year for album of the year because.
Brady Bogen
Even though she's a record holder, she's.
John Holmberg
Got Adele beater a few years ago, Beck beater, Taylor Swift beater, and now Harry Styles. Wow. So, you know Jay Z and her Gotta be pills. Well, they win all the other awards. She's got 32 total Grammys, and Queen Bay didn't leave early enough to make it to the performance.
Brady Bogen
She missed the first off this Hungarian British conductor.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Sir George. Salty. Yeah, he had 31.
John Holmberg
He was pretty good, that guy. That guy had it together. People remember him. It's a record you break and you're just. You know, it's like DiMaggio's streak. Everybody knew about it, but Beyonce has more Grammys than anyone else.
Brady Bogen
But how about going into it, she's like, I'm gonna get it this year. I just need four to pass him.
John Holmberg
She got him.
Brady Bogen
Got him.
John Holmberg
Well, she got three earlier in the day and then one during the broadcast cast. And.
Brady Bogen
And the one that she got earlier said, oh, she's not able to make it. She's stuck in traff.
John Holmberg
She wasn't there. She didn't even show up for the first one.
Brady Bogen
Just say she's not coming till later.
John Holmberg
Well, no, she. They had a table and everything. They thought she'd be there, and she was. She was trapped in traffic. She's one of the few. But it's. That record that she's got is kind of misleading to me because, like, say, the Beatles, for instance, or Whitney Houston, even. They didn't have. They weren't nominated 30 times. A year with Best Electric Dance, Best Pop, Best this. Like the cat. There's a hundred more categories than there used to be, so it's easier to win, like, multiple Grammys in a night. If you have an album that did well, it's going to be nominated in several different categories. And, you know, it's got Best R B, Best Pop, Best Vocal, Best Pop Duo, Best this. And all you have to do is have a couple of hits on it, and you're going to walk away with some amazing stuff. So she's. It's a little misleading to me that Taylor Swift and Beyonce are the greatest musicians of all time according to Grammys, because of how many they've won. Mary J. Blige has 16, and she's. You know, she hadn't done anything since the early 90s, but she keeps collecting them, too. And it's.
Brady Bogen
Someone made a list of artists that have never won a Grammy. Nickelback.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Brady Bogen
Beach Boys.
John Holmberg
That's amazing.
Brett Vesely
Surprise there.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Elvis only won three, and they were all for gospel songs.
Brady Bogen
Journey.
John Holmberg
Trying to think of Journey never got a Grammy. Wow. That is. Wow. Those are some big.
Brady Bogen
Katy Perry nominated 13 times.
John Holmberg
That is actually shocking.
Brett Vesely
I'm surprised.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
Because she's Taylor and everybody else has gotten them.
John Holmberg
She's in the world of pop, everything. So again, she gets the dance. The. I mean, they have a dance category. It's the exact same thing. It just eliminates some of the R B and folksy rock stuff.
Brady Bogen
He's been nominated. She was up there with. She said 13 nominations, 15 nominations. Never got one. Joe Satriani. Wow.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
14 nominations for Dirk. Dirk's Bentley. 16 nominations for Snoop Dogg.
John Holmberg
Never got one. Well, Dr. Dre got a. They named an award after him last night. He got a. The first annual Dr. Dre's Awesome Award.
Brett Vesely
He deserves it.
John Holmberg
Absolutely changed the game completely. It was an interesting show, though. They did a lot of neat stuff. The one thing I did kind of think of, though, every time Lizzo got to talk, she talks about being fat. And, you know, just because I look different, just because I'm body positive, just because I'm this. She goes up and talks about a fat. She is all the time. And everybody's like, yay. Positive with a broad. She is.
Brett Vesely
That's.
John Holmberg
But you know what Sam Smith didn't do when he won? Talked about how fatty was what DJ Khaled never does. Goes up there and tells, well, I'm fat, y'all. You know that, right? That's the reason you have to like me, because I'M fat. Like, it's weird thing when the. When it's a fat woman that it's, you know, you have to make it, like, a bigger deal than it is. And it's a fat guy and he's just. I mean, all I thought was, Sam Smith's fat. He looks really fat, right? He's got huge boobs, which maybe he's growing on purpose.
Brady Bogen
Like, Kim did the song with him.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
How was that? Did you watch the performance?
John Holmberg
And that was winners and they won. And that was awesome. And Kim Petrus accepted the award as the first trans everything thing. And everybody clapped like crazy. And. And then, you know, they always talk about, like, they're. Liz is not the first fat woman to win a Grammy. It's not like she's breaking ground being fat. And then, you know, the lesbians that go up and. And say, you know, my life. Katie Musgrave and that kind of. They always. Casey Musgrave. They talk about, like, being lesbians, and it's a big deal. And my life found you not the first lesbian to win a Grammy just because you're out more. Plenty of. Plenty of rug munchers have won Grammys in the past, and never once did they went up and made it about the music, not about where they stick their tongue. You know, not like Harry Styles went up there and go, I have. I have literally eaten some of the best in Hollywood. This is pretty amazing. And also, by the way, I have a good album. You guys gave me think, but, I mean, think of the. I'm gonna eat now that I've got these Grammys for album of the year. I am a eating machine. And you guys should all stand up and clap for heterosexuality. Nobody ever would do it. It's weird. It's just a weird thing that they.
Brady Bogen
Act like they're first think. Okay, but thanks, Queer Nation, for your support. Like Beyonce did, Right?
John Holmberg
Thanks, the queer community for inventing the category of pop dance electric music. And they all went nuts. That's us. Nice job, queers. I didn't know we could call you that.
Brett Vesely
Did all the fatties get excited when Lizzo's up there talking about.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Toledo
Okay.
John Holmberg
And everybody. But it's like they act like they're.
Brady Bogen
The first bunch of Pringles cans pop.
John Holmberg
I mean, didn't Mama Cass win?
Brady Bogen
I thought she won.
John Holmberg
I mean, she's. She was big and fat. Look what happened to her. Died eating a ham sandwich. Nobody was surprised. If the news came down. Lizzo choked on a ham sandwich. Today would be like, well, let's see. Did she maybe. Probably. I would assume that the mamas and papas got something.
Brett Vesely
She was nominated four times. One once.
John Holmberg
Yeah, she could sing though. She could sing. The lights out for Monday.
Toledo
Monday.
John Holmberg
Big fat people have been winning awards all the. And Lizzo acts like she's the first fat person to ever walk on a stage. The DJ Khaled went up there right after and I went, he's fatter than she is. And he never mentions. I gotta go. He doesn't do anything but another one, which is what he does at the buffet. That guy's huge. But fat dudes never get credit for being body positive women. First things first just go, ugh. And then Lizzo had to sit next to Adele all night long and see what's possible because Adele looks amazing now. And remember when Adele was fat and positive and then lost all her weight and all those same people that were on her side hated her for bettering herself? They got all mad and then Lizzo had to sit next to her and Adele had to be like, no, that's all right. You can eat it. Well, you sure, Adele? Yeah, that. You can have my half. I don't eat like I used to. It's not for me. You're not gonna eat the dessert? Two for me then. That's right, Lizzo. We should talk about future diabetes. You can lose your. You can lose your fe. You gonna eat that? No, you can have it. It's about damn time.
Brady Bogen
I've been staring at that for half hour. Did they wheel Ozzy up or.
John Holmberg
No, he's not. He's not participating anymore. It was a good show though. All in all, it was pretty entertaining. It was a little bit boring. And boy, I tell you what, that Taylor Swift, she's human Ambien to me. Every time she stands up, I look at her, I'm like, I'm getting sleepy. Get her off the tv. She's boring. Her boring face and her boring hair and her boring music. She's just boring.
Brett Vesely
Is it mere. Did it used to seem like the Grammys were one of those things you would like make sure you watch? I forgot it was on last night Appointment. I was watching Password with Fallon. I mean, that's how bad it was.
John Holmberg
And how about that show? Oh, is that like the most anxiety riddled nightmare ever? He gets so amped up when somebody gets a password, right? And then if you go back and watch the old Password with Alan Ludden, Betty White's ex husband, and it is a casual like, you know, tick tock Correct. That's it. That's the thing. Jimmy does it. Okay. Tick tock, balloons and confetti every time someone does anything. And I can't see why.
Brady Bogen
I get so excited though sometimes because it's on the fifth or sixth clue where they finally get cornhole or tennis.
Brett Vesely
Oh, I watched that.
John Holmberg
Because then they're idiots.
Brady Bogen
Love.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Facts. Oh, it's crazy. And when they miss, when he just. Oh, he throws his head into the counter. Say words. You. You're driving me insane. Yeah, you just. You need like, you know, some sort of a psychiatrist and a pill to watch that show. It's so crazy. And the celebrities start falling into it like normal celebrities start bouncing off the walls. Fallon's cocaine ham.
Brett Vesely
John cocaine ham was a little bit. He was still trying to be cool, but he was starting to fall for.
John Holmberg
It a little bit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He'll get into it. He starts cool. And then initially. And then you can't help but just like.
Brady Bogen
Those are the best clues ever.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
I got nothing.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it is the weirdest. I don't know.
Brady Bogen
We have a. Someone, a new member of egotist.
John Holmberg
Yeah. No. So Viola Davis, she got herself a Grammy yesterday and now she's an ego. 18, right? 18 EGOTs now, people.
Brady Bogen
I think so. Yeah.
John Holmberg
That's pretty impressive.
Brett Vesely
What's an EGOT?
John Holmberg
Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony.
Brett Vesely
Oh, wow.
John Holmberg
Yeah. There's only 18 people who have one. It's a pretty amazing list. And she got one yesterday for reading her book. They give you an award for that now. Best performance. Reading your own book.
Brady Bogen
Chappelle. Go up and accept his honor and.
John Holmberg
Thank the, thank the lgbtq, thank the queers for inventing all that stuff. Yeah, it's a, it's a weird thing, but no, they do all that, all this stuff for four hours. They start that show at noon. I, I went to the Grammys once and I had to do a pre interviews for everybody and it was nine in the morning and we're do. They're doing all the sound checks and stuff and you're listening to. Literally listening to Elton John and, and you two. And all these people performing in the background while you're interviewing stuff. And then, then people start showing up. You're like, what's going on? Like, oh, they got the pre show for like three hours. They're handing out awards before the show starts. It's crazy. And it's, you know, all the exact executive stuff. It's the, you know, behind the scenes, really boring things.
Brett Vesely
Best engineers, producer of soundtrack from.
John Holmberg
Exactly. Yeah. Best soundtrack Production best this, best composers, all that boring stuff. And then they managed to whittle it down to like 80 awards for the broadcast. And it's a long day, but. Yeah, just keep it. Brady, Kid Harpoon wants you to know. To keep it in check. You know, your name's important. Let's not get too full of ourselves there. I'm gonna start calling you Brody, just, you know, so you know that I'm. You're not as. You're not as big a deal as you think you're. And by the way, you call me the Magic Man, I'll be Magic man, and you're just gonna be Brody, the guy who's a little bit full of himself. Meanwhile, Magic Man's gonna go on TV for a second. I'll be right back. Yeah, the day they cut off Lizzo's feet from the diabetes won't be sad. There'll be an I told you so moment from everybody else going, lizzo, I understand you're positive. It's good for you, but. And I don't buy into that. You know, magazines make girls. I don't buy that argument. It's like the pressure, the pressure, it's all you. Because every boy growing up watched a specimen of an athlete and, and knew, well, not many of these guys in the world and probably not going to be me. We all knew deep down as we admired me and my youth. You know, very misguidedly watching Dave Kingman hit 460 foot home runs and Wrigley Field thinking, that guy is everything I want to be. Well, I'm not 6, 6, 2, 15, you know, swinging this giant stick and crushing baseballs. I couldn't do it. And it didn't. It wasn't unfair. I never once said it's not fair. These pro athletes are so gifted genetically and they look so great. We don't do it. And it's that. That artificial pressure is put on by.
Brady Bogen
You and you alone for a man. You know, it took years to finally complete. But David, the statue.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
People see that I want to be that chisel.
John Holmberg
I watch Hard Knocks and there's nothing that makes me feel worse as a human being than when those dudes walk around with their shirts half up and they look like the mannequins at Dick's Sporting Goods, which are also kind of intimidating. But it never once make all. I look at that and go, I gotta work a little harder, even be close to that. And I don't have that build. I'm just not physically gifted that way. Because you talk about it. And well, that's what men want. Women. Since when do you fight for what men want? Every time we tell our wives what we like, they do the exact opposite. Those. Those pants look great. I hate these pants. The next thing you know they got them pair of pants on like what just happened. You're just saying that. All right, nevermind. I think your hair looks beautiful. Ugh. Changing it tomorrow. All right. It has nothing to do with us and what we want. It doesn't. You think the Kardashians were doing what men wanted or what the NBA wanted? And then it became what women are like. I guess that's what everybody wants. It's pressure you put on yourself. I just don't buy it. If somebody just told you you're. If you look at magazines and feel pressure, you're doing that. The magazines aren't doing it. Men's health. Intimidating. If you wanted to stare at it all day and go, jesus, I'm a slob. But we don't. Dudes go buy that. Go. That's a handsome. He probably works real hard. Anyway, here's my Pringles and I'm going to grab a thing. Oreos. And we don't get mad at society for putting out great looking dudes on. Everybody I watch on TV as far as the that I idolize is a specimen of a man. So much more than I'll ever be. So much more than I'll ever be. And you know what I do? Tip the cap. Great work, kid. Man, did you try harder than me in that department. You look great. Here I am. I look like ET when they found him in the field. Nothing I can do about it. I mean, there's something I can do about it. I'm not gonna though. Anyway, you have a good glow. I'll develop a personality. Oh, oh, ladies. Did you hear that? That's a thing. That's why fat girls always get laid. They're usually pretty fun. I gotta be. Nothing else going on, right? They develop a personality they recognize. Well, I'm not trying as hard as these, so I'm gonna tell jokes and stories and play video games. I'm gonna be fun. Yeah. I'm not gonna tell anybody I'm with her, but she's a blast. She's eating me out of house and home though. Yeah. The Grammys were fun last night though. It was. It's not one of the better like Grammy nights because you're like everybody's kind of average. Harry Styles one of that. I have that album. I had it for Two weeks I was pretty on it and I'm like a couple of great little pop songs, but the rest of it's a drag. And rock, once again, not at all close to being represented because it's dead. And we. We keep it alive here as best you can because it's still got an audience. But as far as mass appeal goes, you know, I'll get. I'll get emails from us. We watch the Grimace. Old pop crap. Where's the rock?
Brett Vesely
You tell us.
John Holmberg
You tell me because tell me where great rock albums were this year that you know. And don't say it's impossible because if it were bigger, there'd be radio stations and XM and. And your Spotify would push it. There aren't any rock bands doing anything new. Back in the early 90s when grunge hit it took over the Grammys, I mean, you saw a lot of like, holy crap moments where the Grammys were like, we better embrace this. Rock can still do it. It's just. There's a few decent things, but nothing major and nothing mass appealed to where they want to put it on tv. So it's rock. So it's the same thing as women looking at magazines. It's rock's own fault for breaking itself down into 77 categories of grindcore, hardcore, metal core. And you're a. For not like rock fights with itself more than anything else and then wonders why it's not represented at all every year.
Brady Bogen
Best country album. Willie Nelson.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I know. Well, they know he's dying. He's 90 something. Then Smokey Robinson came out and did some stuff and he's got an album. No, he won a. He won like a Vanguard Award or something. He's 82 years old.
Brady Bogen
I know he is.
John Holmberg
A smile on my face. I'm like, he still hits the high notes. He's 82.
Brady Bogen
That's why he's rolling out his. His next album. I think he's. It's almost done. It's called Gasms.
John Holmberg
Is it? Yeah. Real. He's still shooting. Piercing blue eyes. I look, I'm like, He's 82. He's. He looks better than me now. He looks better than I have ever looked at age 82. I've never looked as good. Like if you stood any version of me in my first 50 years next to Smokey Robinson. 82 years old. Smokey wins every time. If there's a smile on my face, what 82 year old can hit that note?
Toledo
Trying to fool the public.
John Holmberg
I'm gonna bang your wife. Today. And he can pops the blue pill. He gets that weird 82 year old boner and you're staring at some surgery and some blue eyes. He looks great. And Stevie doesn't age. Stevie wonders. 72. He was on stage. Look great. He finally embraced that. He's bald. He just lets the braids go. He has a hat on which. It's. It's time.
Brady Bogen
And what went viral was Ben Affleck's expression.
John Holmberg
No, he was bored. He was bored beyond belief. He did not want to be there.
Brady Bogen
I saw a couple of pictures like.
John Holmberg
Wow, Ben doesn't want to be there. Well, he's not allowed to drink anymore in public.
Brady Bogen
That's true.
John Holmberg
And so that's a long five hour night of him like getting ready and.
Brady Bogen
He'S like, thank God we got or it's miserable. You're stuck in traffic. You still gotta.
John Holmberg
And you're surrounded by alcohol and drugs. You know, Smokey did a couple bumps backstage. That's what he's known for.
Brady Bogen
Let's do this.
John Holmberg
It's crazy how good he was, but yeah, it was, it was entertaining enough. Better. And it's my first Sunday without football in 20 weeks.
Brady Bogen
So you didn't watch any Pro Bowl?
John Holmberg
No, if I wanted to watch kids play football, that was terrible.
Brady Bogen
I watched.
Brett Vesely
We were at a restaurant and it was on. I was like, why, why am I watching? They're not even wearing helmets.
John Holmberg
They're not trying.
Brett Vesely
Running around.
John Holmberg
They're not even trying. And Snoop Dogg and Pete Davidson are the coaches. I mean that's the first. First or I guess Eli, at least.
Brady Bogen
Pete's like, what am I doing here?
John Holmberg
Yeah. He had no business there. It was dumb. And they filled the stadium packed. Vegas stadium was packed full for six bad flag football games.
Brady Bogen
And in between they had, you know, they tried to do it like the dunk contest, but the best pass catch.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Between Stefan Diggs and.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Trying to set up great catches in a couple years. Yeah.
Brett Vesely
Playing tic tac toe with the, with the kickers and stuff like I think.
John Holmberg
Is kind of neat because they do that in hockey where they're shoot for the edges and then the middle. I was just bored, but I don't want to watch. I'm just.
Brady Bogen
No, I can't imagine being in that stadium.
John Holmberg
It just.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah. The skills competition from the second deck had to be like, well, we could be gambling. We're in Las Vegas is the worst thing we could be doing in Vegas. But for the experience.
Brett Vesely
There's so much to do in Vegas and you're over at that.
John Holmberg
Come on. And you got the worst seats in the house staring down at, you know, Robbie Gould banging one off the the upright. Yeah, nobody watches football for the skills contest. Anyway, let's get a wake up song, shall we, for a weird week here in Phoenix. Gonna get strange but we got your back. Don't worry about it. Just remember, chip on your shoulder, a little bit rude. If a 5 foot 5 inch dude with a great big beard and a green shirt gets in your car. Uber driver, the first words out of your mouth are where the you want to go? Oh, I'm from Philly. I know, I could smell it. That's it. Somebody gets in an orange shirt, they'll probably be kind of polite and just in awe of the size of things. Can't get over how sprawling this town is. Oh, you're from Kansas City. These buildings. Yeah, we've got buildings. Kansas City has buildings too, but not this far apart. Okay, they're gonna welcome Dorothy from Oz. We'll get you in here. Yeah, let's get a Wake up song. 585-9800 a good one and we'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake Up. It's out of control now. This is Michael with Restore My Civil Rights. I made a lot of poor decisions in my past that had lifelong consequences. After I was released from prison for the last time in 2014, I discovered the process to have my convictions dismissed and all of my rights restored, including my Second Amendment rights. Since achieving this for myself in 2018, our attorney has assisted over 3,000 others in doing the same. If you are still living under the consequences of past mistakes and would like to restore your rights as I have, visit restoremycivilrights.com and book a free consultation today. There it is. That's what I like to hear. Well done, Alliance. There is the Apaches giving us our theme song for 2023 and it makes me happy every day. Thank you, Alliance. They just got emails and I didn't know if it was yesterday or today, but it was yesterday. The Eagles and the Chiefs both have touched down. They are in town and I think they have the big intro show tonight. The NFL welcome to the super bowl show. And they do this big introductions of the team and they make it a big red carpet event and stuff like that. A lot going on.
Brady Bogen
Always press day is that.
John Holmberg
Press day is usually tomorrow because it would be the players day off and Craig Gass is coming in here in a little bit and he's going to go do that for us because he has access to everything. We still don't know how, but Craig Gass has access to all of it. He will down be on media row, goofing around, talking to people, getting his nose in there. And I don't know how he does it. I've seen. I've seen Craig Gass do things that no human should get away with and has just really taken the whole act like you, you're supposed to be their theory and putting it in action. He's better than Obi Wan about telling guards and stuff. I'm going in there looking for. And then he wanders in. I got a suite at a Sun's game for the finals. This was not easy to get people with tickets. I had to go down and get them like I was giving tickets to these to the people. And I had to go down to get them at the bottom of the. The escalator because there was just. We're gonna make sure these are legit. This one's not bouncing off this one. They had so many security measures in place. We get up to the suite. I get a tap on my shoulder in the suite. There's Craig. He did not have a ticket. Hey, buddy, I said, how'd you do that? And he goes, found this back door, climbed this ladder. And I'm on the second floor. I'm like, what kind of ladder? The ladder is one of those wall ladders. It is, it is. It is a straight up and down super ladder. And he found it and thought, I'll climb that and see what that leads to. And he ended up in our suite and he had a plate of cookies already. I don't know. He was amazing. So the guy has access to everything. And for the super bowl, it's legitimate, but he used to sneak in every.
Brady Bogen
Sporting event and he's done it so long.
John Holmberg
The best.
Brady Bogen
A lot of people like. I mean, he networks.
John Holmberg
It's not even networking with the right people. He networks with, he thinks with vendors, with people who are fans of his that might have, you know, beer guys that were the. The thing in Cleveland.
Brady Bogen
Come on in.
John Holmberg
He was at this game seven of the World Series with the Cubs and Indians had second deck seats, big upper decker seats. If you notice at the end of the game when Bill Murray's cheering for the Cubs, the guy sitting next to him is Craig Gaff. That's right. Third row in off first baseline. And he's filming it and he's like, Craig Gass is part of Chicago Cubs history and lure. Because one of the shots is of Eddie Vedder, Bill Murray. Bill Murray, Bonnie Hunt, and a bunch of other celebrities sitting there cheering longtime Cub fans. And there's crying dipstick Craig Guest standing there with his phone right in the middle of the mix because a guy recognized. Hey, you the guy. I know you. You're the comedians. Like, yeah, I love you, man. Did you need one of these? And he gives him this band that gets you down to the VIP thing. And Craig's like, well, if I can get vip, I can get down front, right? Just flashes the thing like you're supposed to be there. Walks right to the front, sits down next to Bill Murray. Nobody says a thing, because who's gonna know he's got the band. He is remarkable. So we have pretty much hired him for no pay at all. He was gonna do this anyway, but he's gonna come in and just be part of this super bowl celebration. It's. It'll be on his Twitter first and then back with us the next day. His stories. It's going to be amazing.
Brett Vesely
Is he our Radio Row guy?
John Holmberg
He's our. Well, he's. Well, look, we're just borrowing it. We're his. We're kind of borrowing him.
Brett Vesely
Okay.
John Holmberg
So it's not. He works for us. We're basically saying, all right, Craig, go nuts and come back and tell us your stories. But he'll be here this morning with whatever he's going to do. And he's already told me, I got passes for the Tuesday night thing. You're coming with me. I'm like, I don't even know what it is, but we're going in, and there's going to be this.
Toledo
This.
John Holmberg
And it's like, amazing stuff. I'm like, I'll go with you. So we'll see what. What happens with what? With Craig. But it's. He's going to be here, and the teams are here, and everybody's starting to get all involved and crazy about that. I remember going to the airport when the Steelers played the super bowl here and back in 95. 96. Super Bowl, 95 season and that entire tarmac. I don't know if you're still allowed to do what we did, which was just wander around the airport. Tarmac. I would assume not.
Brett Vesely
I wouldn't think so anymore.
John Holmberg
But, I mean, they just. They had a little section for us, and we watched the Steelers get off the plane. U S Airways plane pulls up, and there they were, just. It was crazy. Hundreds and hundreds of people just standing on the Runway. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
I don't Think they do the greetings anymore.
John Holmberg
I don't know how they do it, if they do it. They corralled us pretty good. But we were wandering about. It was a. There's a lot of moving around in places. But nobody thought, I'm gonna blow up a plane. I think it'd be silly. And no, and we weren't. We weren't. And you could kind of tell we were all hyper focused on watching the boys get off the plane and cheering wildly. It was pretty fun. So I understand that. That excitement, that's a pretty fun thing to feel. And the Chiefs landed, and then the Eagles landed and soon their fans will be here too. And yeah, some guy said, he emailed me and he goes, the best thing about what I was talking about with other people talking about city said I had a city planner go, phoenix doesn't have a good skyline like New York or Philly or Chicago. And he's like, yeah, well, I guess shouldn't stay. Which is the proper answer. That's the proper thing to say. What's going on with your skyline? You got no tall building. Yeah, see, we did it right where we wisely decided to make the sprawling building five stories and not an eyesore of stupidity because the land used to be cheaper. And also we're not landlocked. We can go for forever and ever and ever. So we don't need to go 80 stories into the sky. We have a very subdued skyline. It is kind of goofy, but if you're looking at it from, you know, piece de Wais Peak, it's a small skyline. It's a beautiful, like, little building. So, you know, nothing special. We don't have a lot of great architecture, but some nice stuff that's. I guess you don't like our skyline. Should probably go back to Philly and smell the garbage that's on your everywhere. It's the dumpiest city I've ever been to in my life. Oh, I'm from Philly. I'm not listening to that. I guess you should leave, turn the radio station off, off and get back in your plane or whatever it is, your carriage and head home. Kansas City, you're fine, but we're not at all. Nobody screams, oh, I'm from Kansas City. I'm not listening to that. Okay, cities that screen that their, their citizens shout out where they're from every time something happens. It's like, oh, this complex you have about how tough you are hauling oats. Tom Hanks with aids. That's all I'm going to say to you every time I hear, well, I'm from Philly. Hanks with aids. What do you mean? That's what we think of. Broken bell. Hanks with aids. That's it. Hauling oaks. We got every. We have the flyers. We got hockey. We got hockey. Sort of. It's borderline, but we've got it. Don't start screaming like you're the only town with hockey either. You're just a bunch of dicks. I mean, you could replace the word Philly with the word asshole. Hey, but the guy come over, the Uber driver says something. Hey, I'm an asshole. I'm not dealing with this. That's basically what you're saying every. What normal people hear when you say I'm from Philly is I'm a huge asshole. So I did this next. Thanks, Philly. If you guess. I don't like Philly. I still think they're gonna win the Super Bowl. Just gonna be an intolerable Sunday night to Monday morning. Look, and I feel bad for the people on probably Allegiant or Spirit Airlines that have to do three stops with Philly fans all the way back to probably. They land in Wilkes Barre or something. They don't even go through to Philly.
Brady Bogen
It's gonna be so loaded up with Coco Pellies and dream catchers.
John Holmberg
Got this. They're up for Philly. I shouldn't have bought this turquoise guy. This little weird dude trying to blow himself. I thought it was hilarious. It's a coca pelli. That's a fluke. Oh, I'm from Philly. A guy bent over like that's blowing himself. Thanks, Philly guy. We shot down the balloon. I'm very excited about the balloon being shot down because it adds to the story. Biden said, shoot it down on Wednesday. They're like, let's hold out. It gets over into the Atlantic. Everybody goes nuts. That we had an F19 or something. Just popped the balloon. It did exactly what they said it wouldn't do. They couldn't shoot it down over the the States because they were worried it would just start floating all over and collateral damage. It was exactly what happens when you pop a balloon. It deflates and it just sinks to the earth. It wasn't, you know, just spinning all over like a party balloon. It was what you'd do if a hot air balloon blew up. China said last week. Oh, oh, yeah. One of our balloons. Oh, we'll look into it. We're not sure, but don't shoot it down. They didn't know what it Was. And then came back with a story that it was a weather balloon that had gone off course. Wouldn't there. Wouldn't you know that?
Brady Bogen
And we had another one.
John Holmberg
Wouldn't that be your first answer? Yeah, you found it. We had a weather balloon that went bananas and we've been looking for it. We haven't. It isn't reporting back, so we didn't know where it went. So it's. It's just floating around doing nothing. But their second day answer was, it's a weather balloon that we lost and didn't tell anyone about losing. Like, if I was China or the United States and we had a big weather balloon that kind of went off course, wouldn't you call Russia?
Brady Bogen
Heads up.
John Holmberg
Yeah, heads up, guys. We lost the balloon. Shoot it down. It's a weather balloon. We don't care. So we shoot it down. And China's first thing is, oh, you've ruined relationships with us. Thanks a lot. What were they gonna do? Come get it or just wait for it to float home?
Brady Bogen
Just let it float around.
Brett Vesely
Let's go float for how long?
John Holmberg
Well, they're not allowed to come get it, so it's. We're gonna shoot your balloon down, if you don't mind. It's just a weather balloon, right? Oh, yeah, no big deal. Just. Oh, shoot it down. That's a bad relations. Bad relations. How is that bad relations? Is all you're doing is collecting weather data and you didn't even know it was missing. Still, we wreck our stuff back. We're shooting it down.
Brett Vesely
It's probably a bunch of knockoff NFL jerseys in that thing.
John Holmberg
That's probably what it was. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Dropping a batch.
John Holmberg
Wouldn't it be great if we popped it and just tons and tons of Cincinnati Bengals world champions shirt shout out. Getting rid of waste. Getting rid of all that dumb stuff. That's how they get it over to Africa.
Brady Bogen
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Airdrop it. But yeah, if you didn't know you had a balloon, like, anymore, like, we lost our balloon. Don't tell anyone. And then somebody goes, is this your balloon? You're like, yeah, that's ours, but give it back. I'm like, no, it's not doing anything bad. We're gonna shoot it down. Then if there's. There's no consequence to your weather data collection, they're pissed off. They're pissed off that we shot their stupid balloon down.
Brady Bogen
Well, the other thing is, evidently we've been watching a lot of balloons over the years.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Now all of a sudden, oh, if you haven't seen these.
Brady Bogen
We had three over there.
John Holmberg
Galveston, Atlanta, Texas. These Chinese balloons are all over. So that. That's another thing that makes me feel like the whole thing is a lie, is that suddenly the government's like, we're shooting it down. You're the ones who just a day ago told me that there's like 15 of them. We've. You've never once shot one down. Suddenly we see it, we looked at it, and you're like, yeah, we gotta shoot these down now. Well, what about the other ones that you've been bragging about knowing that have been floating around above us?
Brady Bogen
Do you hear the. In South Carolina had to make announcements and put out on the do not shoot at the balloon.
John Holmberg
You know, hill people are pumping rounds at was still a little high. If you gotta get a plane but still send fired. Yeah, of course there were. I think I can get to it.
Brett Vesely
Hold my beer.
John Holmberg
Hold this for a second. I'm taking down one of them cheeky balloons right now. Nope. I missed by a mile. I missed by a lot. That thing's far away. Look closer to me.
Brady Bogen
For some reason he's got a spotter.
John Holmberg
Yeah, to the left.
Brady Bogen
The wind is three.
John Holmberg
Three clicks for the wind. Three clicks left. I think I got this thing. Bob, you take it down, man, you take down China for all us in the Palmetto State. Okay?
Brett Vesely
Hold my natty drinking. No, Karen, I know it's from over there somewhere.
John Holmberg
You take a sip of that beer, I'll know. You keep that in your left hand, your non drinking hand.
Brady Bogen
You spot me, try to hook it. Then they can put those panels on our house.
John Holmberg
We get solar power. Yeah, we can keep it. Get some of that discount Chinese solar power. Stupid. But us shooting it down, we got all proud. We're so dumb. We absorb news so badly. We're so dumb. The day before we shot it down, we were told there's been like 18 of these balloons by the people who said, we gotta shoot this down. All of a sudden, 18, 18 different balloons. They've known about, like balloons all over the place. Chinese balloons shoot over here all the time. We know about it, we do it to them. But then they acted all tough. I told them to shoot that down. I felt real sorry for Joe Biden last night. Night. Because his wife was a presenter at the Grammys and she didn't even go on stage till 9pm our time. He didn't. They could wake him all they wanted. His eyes were still closed. Doing a great job though. It's not tv.
Brett Vesely
She could have Bought four. And he would have missed sleep. I mean, you know, I'm gonna take.
John Holmberg
A nap and wake up for. I'll wake up for jail. Go to sleep. But yeah, he was all tough about the balloons. The balloon. 20 or 30 of these things last month.
Brady Bogen
Shoot it down. Back off the president, man. He's getting mean.
John Holmberg
Gotta shoot that balloon down. Yeah. Can't pop a balloon. Never try to pop a balloon at one of the carnivals. It's not that easy. Sometimes it bounces right off of them. Gotta get an F19 up there to do that. But they. They killed it. And it wasn't very exciting to see. I thought it would be more like. I was kind of hoping it was loaded with some sort of Hindenburg gas. And thing would have just gone up in smoke in a self. Like if the Chinese were smart, they would make it so it blow like Mission impossible. Just explodes. If it ever. It self destructs. Nah. Now we got divers all over the Atlantic.
Brady Bogen
I was just wondering as it's spiraling down, you know. You know, they probably are estimating where it might hit.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Just.
Brady Bogen
I'd love to see the scene of all the boats scrambling.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Like a baseball going into the bay in San Francisco. People diving and swimming.
Toledo
Got it.
John Holmberg
And then they're saying, well, we can't find it. We got divers out there. Like, you didn't watch it land like it's golf. You watch your ball all the way. Right. It's out there somewhere. We'll get divers in the area. You're never gonna find anything from that. It's crazy. So good luck with the divers and the balloons. And if you see a balloon overhead this week, it's probably not Chinese.
Brady Bogen
I see a couple. You're gonna see one that's oblonged. That's a blimp.
John Holmberg
That's a blimp. Don't shoot at it.
Brady Bogen
Yep.
John Holmberg
Hillbillies.
Brett Vesely
If it says Goodyear, you're good.
John Holmberg
Good year. If Snoopy's on it at all. And of course, the Chinese are wise. They might paint a Snoopy on it. Don't worry, Justin. Snoopy. Snoopy Maroon. Oh, wow. It's a rife insurance thing. Rife inserts Snoopy Baron Met rife. They'll get balloons and blimps and all sorts of crazy.
Brady Bogen
There'll be a typo on it, though. That's when we know it's Chinese midlife.
John Holmberg
Met rife. That's not right. Ah, we all confused. Uh. Oh, it says Carrie Lake. Carrie Lake. Is. Is that real?
Brett Vesely
Yeah, it's on her.
John Holmberg
It's on her Twitter page. On Carrie Lake's Twitter, she's sitting in a field with a gun. Point at the sky. It says, I'm told there's a balloon that needs to be.
Brett Vesely
Got a 12 gauge.
John Holmberg
She's gonna buckshot a balloon from five miles into the sky. We need to turn her loose this week. We need to. We need to let people know that. And we need to cheer for every time that people think we're insane. Is that real? She's. She is holding a shotgun, looking at the sky. She's balloon hunting out there, shooting birds. Wow. The guy says that shotgun will reach about 150ft above your head. The balloon's about 59,850 above its reach. Stick to losing elections. You're good at that. The first comment, she's tough guy in the balloon with a shotgun. Oh, hilarious. Airy Lake, the macho man standing out there doing her thing. I like her. That's pretty fun stuff. Yeah. So most locals are basically saying they're going to stay put this week. Can't say that I blame them. I did. I did go out on the bike yesterday and hit the trails and it was packed. And I think a lot of people from out of town were on Trail 100 yesterday and Trail 1A, because there were a lot of flip flops thinking that this is just a leisurely stroll. I saw two downed ankles. And then my favorite thing was two guys on bikes that were rented were on top of a hill. And it wasn't a big hill. You get to, you know, the climb that pretty much gases you right off the bat, and then you're fine. It's the top of this little hill. And at the top of the hill, these guys were looking around, over away. There was another dude in a red shirt waving his arms, screaming, I'm lost. I'm lost. But you can see the people you're meeting. And there's like a trail. I'm from Philly.
Brett Vesely
Good, Stay there.
John Holmberg
I'm from Philly. We ain't got this. He's standing at one end of the trail waving his arms at his friends who were just screaming, follow the trail.
Brady Bogen
I'm lost.
John Holmberg
You can see us. You're not that lost. He was scared to death. And you just heard about rattlesnakes. Wow, beautiful day. If there's any day to be lost. And by the way, from where I was at that point, you can see houses. You'll figure this out. But the pure panic from the out of towner standing in the desert thinking, I got about three hours to live. I'm not gonna have enough water. There's no food out here. Suddenly they think they gotta eat bugs and dig up a coyot Cody. And it was the weirdest thing. Like they. And I'm like I said, I told him to him like you guys are like one turn away. He's right there. Just looks far because we're up. You drop down this hill, it cut you back over. Yeah. He'll figure that out. Will he? Because I think he's pretty. Pretty resigned to the idea of not moving at this point. He's waiting to be rescued. He wants a helicopter. And there were a few people who were Philly strong and in that. I mean the cheesesteaks that were working some bikes and they shouldn't have been out there. There was a lot of heavy panting and first timers that they first day in the city they decided to check out all we've got and.
Brady Bogen
Enjoy the sun. Poisoning.
John Holmberg
Well, the sun was the least of my concern for these two. Their hearts were being tested. That's no joke. That ride is like for a first time person. You're like I. I'll go mountain biking. We have different mountain bike trails than most places that are kind of smooth and high hills. We bumps and those rocks are like razor blades and cactus and all that stuff. You got to be smart. But these there were a couple of you know. Remember those two fat guys from the Guinness Book on the motorcycles? Yeah. A father son was doing that. Wow. And I passed them and they're like that's amazing. They. They could barely move. And the breathing. You could hear them like hey Darth Vader. You guys do it. Junior, pull it over. Well they got halfway through and realized oh no, that's not as beautiful as I thought. This is miserable. I'm blacking out. I'm from Philly. But we're gonna see a lot of that. You're gonna Mike. I wonder what. What the fanduel over under is on a mountain rescue this week. Got it.
Toledo
Negative.
John Holmberg
Something you don't you think it's gonna be an easy. Oh yeah. I think by Thursday we'll have a couple came going to be.
Brady Bogen
You're not going to win any money on that.
John Holmberg
No.
Brady Bogen
Unless you go. You have to go the over.
John Holmberg
Yeah. For every hundred you put down, you.
Brady Bogen
Get a dollar eight rescues by Thursday. Big money.
John Holmberg
Yeah. It's as good as betting that Deandre Ayton's gonna get one rebound. You're. You're not making much off of that. But, yeah, mountain rescue. I think it would probably be camelback. That'll be the most popular one. But I saw a lot of flip flops yesterday.
Brady Bogen
They're qualified if you're talking. If you're saying the Philly cheesesteak factors kicking in. Squaw Peak could work just as easy. They'll just have to wheel them down. It's not so much, you know, bring the helicopters. It's just getting that giant mono wheel.
John Holmberg
Big wheel. I've seen it in action. I've seen it with a small person, and she barely fit in it. If a big basket. If a Philly fat got in one of our baskets, they're gonna need a double wheel because those Philly fats are large, human. They drag that big Philly fat up that hill because it doesn't look like much. They're like, that's a mountain. But you climb camelback and you.
Brady Bogen
It'll get the heart rate going and kick your ass.
John Holmberg
Especially if you're Philly fat with whiz or without.
Brett Vesely
You know, geez, here we go.
John Holmberg
I think. And Philly fats. Look, I'm from Philly.
Brady Bogen
There'd be so much whiz on that hill.
John Holmberg
And I'm from Philly. They'll probably put a rocky statue on top of it if they get there.
Brett Vesely
I'm okay with that, though.
John Holmberg
That would be kind of neat if the top. You can just barely see a little rocky statue on top of the back of camel. Yeah, they don't look like a camel. It's laying down. I'm from Philly, where I get cat. Oh, God. Can you just quote your most notable person and say, I can't go for that? Holland oats. Philly soul. Yep. I'm a man eater down there. Daryl andor John. But yeah. So we got all this to look forward to all week. The NFL experience will be fun. And then you got the Phoenix Open, which is going to be our crown jewel of. They said 380,000 expected Friday or Saturday. That's not total. That's a.
Brady Bogen
You're not getting out of Scottsdale for. You're stuck overnight.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And good luck, because the fees for a hotel room are a billion dollars. It's going to be pretty amazing. So we'll see. The city is in a weird spunk. It's different than any other super bowl that we've had here. For some reason, this one feels huge, and I don't know why. This one has, like, giant written all over it compared to the ones we've had in the past that didn't really clog up our world like this one. Seems to be like the perfect storm.
Brady Bogen
And still in a phase where, hey, it's. It's good to get out. We can go to things. Yeah, they're still in that mode.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I'm worried. Mountain rescues. I'm guessing the over under would be what, three. Three good mountain rescues by Saturday because I gotta fill time. And it's a. And they're. They've been locked up since October. Philly and Kansas City. So they're gonna be outside 75 degrees trying to climb Camelback.
Brady Bogen
See the big wheel, basket filled, patient covered in the Flexfield blanket.
John Holmberg
You're gonna hear that a lot on the hills.
Toledo
Oh, my ankle.
John Holmberg
Water. I need water. Those Philly people are going to be screaming for water.
Toledo
Oh, no.
John Holmberg
Water. You got a water ice? Give me a water ice. We don't have that. Just take a sip of our goddamn water. And I'm from Philly. We need water ice. No. Get some whiz. No, we're not gonna give you whiz. You fell down.
Toledo
Whiz.
John Holmberg
Put whiz on it.
Brady Bogen
I'm gonna check fries. If it's blown out, the whiz is gone.
John Holmberg
Oh, the whiz. Full industrial cancer. Costco whiz is gone. Go ahead, Whiz. Go ahead, Whiz. Put Wizard. I'm from Philly. I put whiz on my salad.
Brady Bogen
What, no hoagie buns?
John Holmberg
Yuck. Good. God damn it. San Francisco is a decent group. They're a bunch of liberal weirdos and. But the good ones would have shown up and they want to go home. They don't want to be here. We could have set Carrie Lake loose on those San Francisco libs and they would have never wanted to come back. They would have lost their minds. Kerry Lake's shooting at balloons in the sky. We should put hot air balloons up with like, a. Like, Chinese writing on them. Just have Carrie Lake taking them down on tv. Just like, let her. Let her go crazy.
Brady Bogen
She's at the border right now.
John Holmberg
Same outfit down there. Just shooting at the sky. Well, let the Mexicans in. I love them. Compared to people from Philly. What in the world? Brad's doing a little dance. Making a little love.
Brett Vesely
Nah, it was the wrong. Wrong track here.
John Holmberg
Oh, I see what he's doing. Are you bringing her in? Yeah, he's here. Ladies and gentlemen, shooting at balloons in the sky. Carry the macho man leg. Oh, yeah. Welcome to our beautiful bird Philadelphia. But don't get Too crazy trying to get higher than me. Cause I'll pluck you out of the sky like a dove in October. Oh yeah.
Brady Bogen
Explode. Did you hit the balloon?
John Holmberg
I was shooting at the balloon. And you might notice, Brady, that there's no more balloons to worry about. I plugged. I was shooting high and hard and got her out, baby. Oh yeah, Carrie. The Macho Man Lake don't tolerate no chinky balloons over her country.
Brady Bogen
What else you got planned today?
John Holmberg
Thank Britt. You knew Brett would like that one.
Brady Bogen
You just gotta vote.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. Going to Senate with my shotgun and my one eye close eyeballing those Chinese invaders coming through the sky balloon style. I'm heading to Albuquerque for a little while. Just for a big turkey shoot practice round. You better not even squint in front of Gary Macho Man Lake. Cause I'll shoot you dead anyway. I'm gonna shoot at you. And I'm gonna shoot at you and Dim. Some guy's gonna try to shoot at me. But he's not gonna win. Cause there ain't nobody carried a bunch of medley. Now it's off to Bass Pro Shop. Cause I'm gonna get myself a bow and arrow and try to take them down the old fashioned way.
Brady Bogen
Working on all the hunting skills.
John Holmberg
No, I got them too. And my golden lasso. Like the wonder woman that I am. We'll pull her down and we'll find out what they know. Oh, carry the Macho Men leak out. Jesus Christ. That lady is crazy.
Brady Bogen
She's got 9am at sport clips.
John Holmberg
I know.
Brady Bogen
She.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. Is that where she gets.
Brady Bogen
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Are you making fun of her hair? Little bit.
Brady Bogen
It's short, sporty.
John Holmberg
Sporty like Sporty Spice.
Brady Bogen
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Calling her a lesbian as well.
Brady Bogen
No.
John Holmberg
Sexuality in the question, Bree. Without a fight. Now if you wanna have a dick waving contest, sir, I'm all about it. Cause I'm pretty sure that my is longer than whatever God blessed you with.
Brady Bogen
Put the kettlebells down.
John Holmberg
Never. All right.
Brett Vesely
I wonder who'd win the contest, her or Beth? Oh, just whipping it out there.
John Holmberg
I mean Beth's got a big one.
Brady Bogen
More energy out of lake right now.
John Holmberg
I think Carrie. Carrie just wins based on the energy. Yeah, the BDE comes off carry. Beth is just. Just packing.
Brady Bogen
Uncle Milty.
John Holmberg
That packs a big punch down south.
Brett Vesely
Just enough to win.
John Holmberg
Yeah, she pulls out just enough to win. But I think Kerry might give her a run for money. Carrie has got a big penis. I can't believe that post is real. That is hilarious. Anyway, but that would have scared. Imagine San Francisco. If they'd have done anything. Carrie Lake shooting at balloons out in her backyard. I mean, those liberal loons from San Francisco would have run away from this place. Kansas City, just. Again, you're an innocuous gray face that'll come and go. We won't even notice you. Great barbecue, though. Amazing. Their food's good. Might complain. Oh, yeah, they'll complain a little bit about the barbecue, but they know they have the best. Eric's family barbecue is going to give him a run. Our friend over there at. What's that wing place?
Brady Bogen
Booty.
John Holmberg
Booty Smoothies. Yeah. Anyway, you know, give you a challenge, but I don't know what to expect. I just know that I'm. I'm going to lock up pretty good. I got a couple of things I kind of have to go to, but I'm from. For the most part. I'm going to board it up for the week.
Brett Vesely
Poor Craig. Mission Impossible.
John Holmberg
I want to follow Craig around in a Mission Impossible because I'm all about, you know, that Tuesday thing.
Brady Bogen
Fudging through could be pretty fun.
John Holmberg
It's only. I don't want to. I don't want to go anywhere with Craig. Gas where we've got tickets.
Brett Vesely
So you're not going to Gronk's party. And maybe, like, if I go, if.
John Holmberg
I'm with Craig, I'll follow him, because I am all about that.
Brady Bogen
I went to Magic's party the last time. I mean, things have changed. That was it.
John Holmberg
That was. That was a long time.
Brady Bogen
But it was the same thing. Guy had tickets and, like, you want to go. Okay, go.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You could get into stuff then. That was nice. Like, now it's crazy. Security to get in. All of it. Craig can get through. So I. I'm a big believer in act like you're supposed to be there and walk right in. There hasn't. But I use it at, like, the botanical gardens or the zoo. Like, I don't go to big events and sneak in, although I have. I snuck into SeaWorld once, which was pretty hard to do, and I knocked that out of the yard. Just noticed that there was a door open, and we're standing in line. I'm like, it goes right to Seaweed World. Let's see. And we popped right in and acted like we were supposed to be there. And that was it. I do it at Suns games. Every game. I got that. I faked my way down into that VIP section. Every game. I say it on the radio, and nobody can stop me. I've got the Wristband. You can't. Got a system. You break my system, you break me.
Brady Bogen
Now we're talking.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I love breaking and entering. Love it. And Craig's the best at it. So if I go out with Craig and it's just tickets and, like, what's the point of this being with you? Find me that ladder. Let's get up on top of this thing and do some damage, get into the good VIP section. We'll see. But, yeah, I got a couple of events that I've. I've agreed to go to that I'm like, once I get there, I'll be fine. But the process is going to be brutal.
Brady Bogen
That's the thing.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I don't want to drive to it. I don't want to be part of it. It just.
Brady Bogen
That's me on the. The opens.
John Holmberg
Probably the most, like, oh, are you going?
Brady Bogen
Not right now.
Brett Vesely
You guys haven't been roped into that, like, normal.
John Holmberg
I'm roped in. And again, once I get there, everything will be fine. I'm looking forward to the people that are going to be there. Like, you know, I like.
Brett Vesely
It's getting there.
John Holmberg
It's just fun when you're there. For sure. The getting there part. And, yeah, we'll see. But if car's there, it'll be great. Oh, every golf ball that flies by, she's going to shoot it. Not today. G Bill Park. Yeah, Carrie is going to lose it, but, yeah, we could have set her loose on those San Franciscans and they'd have gone back with stories about how horrible it is here because Carrie's got legs. We didn't think about that when we were voting. Katie Hobbs is all welcoming and like, come on in. Move here. No way. Carrie Lake.
Brady Bogen
Tourism money.
John Holmberg
Well, tourism's one thing, but making them stay, like, we gotta be. We gotta pick up some attitude. And the fact that the weather is going to be as perfect as it gets is just. Oh, this is a tough place.
Brady Bogen
Is amazing.
John Holmberg
Exactly. Oh, I'm. I'm a little less worried about the people that are going to be here than the ones who are going to watch it on tv. Because the TV will show Sedona, like, it's five minutes. Oh, yeah. Sunset and the Grand Canyon, like, two minutes away. It's really far, but they make it seem like it's all within, like a bike ride away. Yeah.
Brett Vesely
They need to show, like, Maryvale, A.J. you know, the west side.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Before you get too excited, friends, let's take a look at some of the murders. Wrong way. Drivers all Sorts of crazy. The meth. The meth houses. Just Guadalupe should be featured somehow. But VRBO signs up, they're moving the homeless out. They're sweeping them out of. Into the. Into what they call the zone, which is downtown. And they're, they're sweeping them already. I can't say who because he'd get in trouble for telling me this stuff. But a friend, it happens to be in city. A city job. He told me, he said yeah, it's imperative we pick.
Brady Bogen
Sweep is happening.
John Holmberg
Pick them up and dropping them off from high population areas.
Brett Vesely
Like so are they putting them in the zone? Like they're right down there by the Capitol.
John Holmberg
On the Capitol. And then there's another one up in Scottsdale. They're dropping them off up there and they're zoning it out. And I didn't know this and this is our money going. They're like paying extra for more food and stuff to keep them there. There you go. There you go. Look like cornhole giving them games and more meth.
Brady Bogen
They'll be fine.
Toledo
Yeah, that's it.
John Holmberg
Just over there. Big meth pile.
Brady Bogen
Maybe that's the place to go watch the Super Bowl.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well they're worried they had to sweep Margaret T. Hans park because that's got loads of huge event humongous. And they are scooting them out and they can't scoot them downtown because there's stuff going on there. Let's move you guys. And just wedged them on over to the zone. But if you go down there right now, the like the like. Because there's a dude who stands on the 7th street and 10 over like the off ramp. Yeah, he is rough looking and he's there every time. And this dude is rough looking. I've been by when fire trucks are propping him up. He's not going to make it. And then the next time I pull up, he's there he is again, he's not there. And that little walkway is usually a bunch of like for a better word tents. And like they have little buildings.
Brady Bogen
7Th street clear. That overpass for some reason gets the extremes.
John Holmberg
Well, it's gone.
Brady Bogen
You had that lady without the calf for years.
John Holmberg
She had like that bone.
Brady Bogen
It was just the bone.
John Holmberg
She made me take the HOV lane off third because I couldn't look at her anymore. I remember I used to get off on that 7th Street. She'd stand there and she'd. A human bone for a leg. Yeah, there was a few but that I was there just the other day. Swept clean like wow, that's never been that nice. So it's pretty nice downtown right now. We need to, we need to unleash the zone on Sunday night all around where the Philly people party. That's it. Robin blind. What do you got on the big board of musical treats there?
Brett Vesely
All right, Wake up song time. And of course you guys know it's brought to you by our buddies at Action Ride Show Shop. It's going to be a beautiful weekend. You want to hit the trails this weekend. Action Ride Shop's a place to do it. They got rentals, they got sales. You need to buy a new bike, you want to rent one just to check it out. All the accessories you're going to need. And if you got that old bike in the garage, needs some repairs to get out there.
John Holmberg
Just.
Brett Vesely
They got the best wrenches in town. So go, go check them out. Actionrideshop.com or just stop in and visit Josh and the boys over there at Gilbert Road in Southern.
John Holmberg
My friend just bought a, an electric cruiser.
Brett Vesely
So not a mountain bike, but just to cruise around town.
John Holmberg
And I didn't know that because the electric mountain bikes don't have this. Go to Josh right now over at Action Ride Shop and rent one of these. It has a button. You don't have to pedal. And he gets 26 miles an hour. You're flying on this. You don't. And it's. And it's true. Like that's what I think people think when I say of the electric mountain bike. Oh, you just hit the button. No, you gotta pedal thing. This one, this one just, it's got a motor.
Brady Bogen
That's what that, that tandem I did a couple years ago back in San Diego. It is derby on the back.
John Holmberg
So fast. Oh yeah. I was like nervous riding that thing around, but I'm like, oh, this changes everything. I prefer a pedaling, but there's basically.
Brady Bogen
A mope kinetic or whatever.
John Holmberg
Well, kinetic is you have to work the engine to get it going to move it like works off its own energy. This is just a. You pump straight up throttle, which is a throttle. Yeah, it's just that you're just gunning it. It's a. And you don't have to pedal because I hit it right off the bat and I'm gone going. It doesn't store energy. It's got, it's charged. I couldn't believe how fast those things are. And if you're lazy and you want to tell people you want on a 10 mile bike ride, that's the route to Go. You're not going to drop a single pound. In fact, you're not going to do anything. But you can lie and tell people how active you are. Well, we rode the canals 41 miles. Wow. You look horrible.
Brett Vesely
On the list, ACDC's whole lot of Rosie for Lizzo, Mastodon, Metallica, Hollywood Undead, Falling in Reverse, Clutch Up There Twice, Megadeth, Seven Dust, Jerry Cantrell, the Cult, Drowning Pool.
John Holmberg
Dick Guy's a great song. That's the old one, isn't it?
Brett Vesely
Yeah. That's not the first. First Jerry album.
John Holmberg
I don't know. Watch the World Burns pretty great. Falling in Reverse is Larry is all over that Man. Man, Is that the one he's loving right now? I think that's it. He just won't stop playing their videos. Their videos are incredible. I don't really care, Brett. I'm looking at this and I don't have one that's jumping. So you choose.
Brett Vesely
I don't know. The Cantrell one has never popped up before.
John Holmberg
Let's do Dick Eye by Jerry Cantrell. It's a great song. Yeah, his first album, Solo was really good. Yeah, I haven't listened to much since, but that. That first one was pretty awesome, so. Thick Eye by Jerry Cantrell. We haven't done that for a while. This guy says, I just wanted to say thank you. I'm a native born here to the Valley, so I've seen radio stations come and go my entire life, all the way back to Chris and Crux. I'm a retired police officer with 30 years of Valley agency and plenty of experience dealing with the entire spectrum of humanity. Your morning show is nothing short of awesome. God, this guy's right. Never heard somebody more right. It's obvious they have a great understanding of general human populace, which makes you outstanding. Not so much because of what you say, because any radio station could provide newsworthy banter. What I respect is how you deliver it. You're a master of it. Combining humors with. Or your humor with logic. This guy's onto something. I really don't even care for most music that you play, but I don't and will not switch. Because listening to you is a great start every day. So many people have logical. Don't have logical thought anymore. You're an everyday reminder to me that someone does. Respectfully, Ben Roberson. Ben Robertson, you are an early candidate.
Brady Bogen
For listener of the Year in the running.
John Holmberg
Thank you, Ben. I'd love to try to argue your points, but they're so perfect, salient and well said. I'm proud of you, Ben, for recognizing my brilliance. You know, you should probably call me Gary or kid Harpoon. I can't tell. What.
Brett Vesely
That's weird. Steve Holmberg.
John Holmberg
That's all my mailman. So Saturday mailman knocks on the door, he knows better. And I go to get the mail and he's already across the street and in there is a address change and it says name Stephen Holmberg, question mark. And I looked at him and I said, did you do this? And he's like, I've heard it this morning. He listened on the podcast on the weekend. And I said, this is very funny. I. I like this a lot. And he goes, ah, I figured, you know, might as well just rename you. Like that's perfect. Still not a peep out of the the people that tried to cut my knees out from me.
Brady Bogen
Publications been shut down.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, hard hitting journalism when they're trying to take a guy down and not know his name immediately makes all your facts questionable. You are a terrible journalist. I won't even give your paper or you credit. But you try to do a hit piece on me and you didn't get my name right. And I. And I love every second of it. I love every second of woke victimization. Trying as hard as they can to cut me off off and losing on their own merit. Just coming at me with the wrong name. It's like, okay, you didn't do any research. Your story means nothing. Nothing. Hilarious. And you'll hear the Queen Creekers calm it down or else. And Carrie Lake over there again. We'll end this thing. It's out of control now. 98 years college hoops are here and there's no better place to catch the action than Hooters.

This offer is for game days only, so grab your crew, enjoy the action and feast on the flavors you love. Only at Hooters, the original wing joint since 1983. We have our super bowl correspondent super guest. And he came with a fanfare. In the parking lot, a pukin Indian was parked next to Craig. And we don't know what just happened, but we were looking outside and I'm like, is that Craig's car? And a giant native American got out and started to throw up in Our parking lot. And then, Craig, you walked right by it and didn't even see him.
Toledo
Yeah. I can't believe I didn't see vomit.
Brady Bogen
Or smell or close enough.
Brett Vesely
I mean, how do you know it's definitely there.
John Holmberg
You can see it in the park. There's a puddle of puke out and, hey, ironized Cody, you're supposed to pick up what you leave behind. That's your people's whole point, isn't it? You've left. You puked in a parking lot. You bailed.
Toledo
Wouldn't it be great if I did get out of the back seat? And he goes, all right, have a good day, Craig. I'll see you then.
John Holmberg
I would have loved it. If that was your ride all week, that would have been solid. But you drove here. You're. You're ready to be part of the show, and you got your credentials or not. Because it doesn't matter for Craig whether you've got credentials.
Toledo
I'm listening to you say that on the way up here. And as you're saying that, I'm getting texts saying, hey, credentials can't get in on time.
John Holmberg
Is that right? Yeah. You don't have credentials for certain things.
Toledo
Yes.
John Holmberg
You're still getting in.
Toledo
We'll see.
John Holmberg
I've watched you do it. I'll say this. I want to be part of it.
Toledo
I'll say this. Obviously, it's fun.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Toledo
To sneak into things.
John Holmberg
Absolutely.
Toledo
People have. At every concert, it's, you know, people who have crappy seats. You see them, look for a moment where the security guards looking the other way, and they try to get. It's fun.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Little upgrade.
Toledo
Sure. Super bowl week. Every super bowl city. It's tough.
John Holmberg
Is it?
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So it's better challenge for you. So it gets more fun. Here's the thing. Because of you, at Suns games, I've become, you know, like Mr. Glass had unbreakable. Like, I am your nemesis without it being everybody that comes. Because it's now this new thing where these people buy cheap seats like you, and then keep an eye on the lower bowl where there's been nobody. And then they go down to that seat. I am the guy who's like, all right, all right, everybody out. I'm kicking people out in the boot and everybody.
Toledo
I'm a hypocrite.
John Holmberg
Oh, you do it, too.
Toledo
I do it, too. In fact, at my. I've snuck into so many comedy shows as a kid growing up here, I would sneak into the improv when I was underage.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Snuck into laughs down in Tucson and at my own shows, if I see there's an opening that someone could sneak in, I'll just hang out by there when the show's going. And when people come in, I go, oh, yeah, man. Front door is over there.
John Holmberg
Wait for a young man like.
Toledo
Like me.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I'm gonna crush his career and his dreams.
Toledo
Total hip. I did it. I literally just did it. Two nights ago, John Mulaney's performing in Honolulu. I don't know, John. I tried to get into the show, and. And someone was like, you know, you're not supposed to be back here.
John Holmberg
You were backstage.
Toledo
Well, I was trying to just get hooked up for the show. I don't know Mulaney.
John Holmberg
Right. And, you know, you could do that. You buy a ticket, Craig.
Toledo
Which is exactly what the girl who was yelling at me said. The girl who was yelling at me, she goes, I. I go, well, and this is true. A guy who did security for a tour that I did with Allison Chains did is now doing security off and on for Mulaney.
John Holmberg
Right.
Toledo
And I texted him, and he said, I'll see what I can do. And I said, yeah. He texted my friend, and she goes, well, if you haven't heard back from him, that should tell you something.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
And I went, okay. I ended up not only getting into the show, I ended up being part of the show that night.
John Holmberg
Is that right? You went up there with him.
Toledo
Mulaney ends up. He talks about recovery and drug addiction and his intervention. And I know that you thought that.
John Holmberg
Was an introduction, so you walked up on stage. That's. Well, please. He's talking about it.
Toledo
I know that. During his show, he says, has anybody here been in. In person treatment?
John Holmberg
Right?
Toledo
And I said, yeah. When he goes, oh, what is your name? And I said, craig. And he goes, hey, Greg, mind if I talk to you about it?
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Toledo
And we ended up talking about. And I. And it's a crazy story, because I don't know if I ever told you, I ended up unintentionally in the wrong rehab. I ended up in a. I'm sorry, that's just.
Brady Bogen
Why. Why does this surprise.
Brett Vesely
How do you wind up in the wrong rehab?
Brady Bogen
Because he had a buddy he knew.
John Holmberg
In the other one didn't even get into the rehab. No, it's.
Toledo
It's actually crazier than that. I ended up in gay rehab. Rehab.
John Holmberg
How'd it go?
Toledo
It was the best place I've ever been.
John Holmberg
5% success rate.
Toledo
It's. You know what? Yeah. Rehab does have a very small but.
John Holmberg
Well, especially gay rehab, because you put all those gay guys in there talking about what they don't want to do anymore. Everybody's got a hard on.
Toledo
I had insurance for the first time. And I had health insurance for the first time. I called him up and I said, hey, I. Do you treat drug addiction? And they said, yep, we do. And I. They put me to a different line. And this woman says, okay, where are you? What. What neighborhood are you in? And I was dating a girl who lived in a gay area of. In a gay district of Seattle, Capitol Hill. And she said, oh, there's a rehab, like, right down the street from you. And I said, great. And I called him up and I said, hi, I want to check myself in. And as soon as the guy picked up the phone, I could tell. I was like, huh, all right, whatever. And then you're from Seattle.
John Holmberg
I just remembered that is of famous rehab up there on Capitol Hill.
Toledo
I didn't know that. Well, I'm from New York, but Seattle's where my career started. And the guy asked me a bunch of questions. I am more honest with this stranger on the phone than I have been to any of my friends about how bad my addiction has gotten. And at the end of all the questions, he says, okay, well, I think we're done. Let me ask you just one more question. You are a homosexual, right? And I said, I'm a what? Just now because you're a homosexual. I go, what does that have to do with anything? And he goes, well, we're a treat map center for homosexuals. And I said.
Brady Bogen
Do you take insurance?
John Holmberg
Not what you answer. You're a homosexual, right? With you just say yes or no. Now, what does that have to do with anything? Because that's clearly a guy who's gay and trying not to be. You're perfect fit.
Brett Vesely
It's like strikes. No, but we're willing to.
Toledo
I mean, I've done a lot of cocaine, but I didn't touch anybody.
John Holmberg
That one moment where you're like, sure, I'll take it.
Toledo
Just give me the blow.
John Holmberg
Now, that guy knew from your answers.
Toledo
And then he tells me you're. Well, we're not gay and lesbian exclusive, but we're gay and lesbian friendly. So are you a homosexual? And I said, no. And he said, do you have a problem with homosexuals? And I said, no. And he said, okay, we'll see on Monday. And I checked in a gay rehab.
John Holmberg
We went into gay rehab. So it wasn't gay rehab. It was a gay. Yeah, that sounds drug rehab.
Toledo
Gay Drug rehab.
John Holmberg
That's better.
Toledo
Which.
John Holmberg
It's like when I say the rape, they call it rape prevention, self defense, but I call it rape class. It's just. It's like, I always say that. And I would say, oh, they got a great rape seminar coming up. Because that's. I shorten it. Your gay rehab is not to cure you of the gay.
Toledo
Correct.
John Holmberg
But your answer of what does that have to do with anything? Is my favorite dodge of all time.
Toledo
The toughest person in the rehab was a lumberjack chick from Oregon who, in a drunken blackout, had choked her partner and ended up in jail.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Toledo
She has no memory of it at all. Yeah, and she was badass. Selling to date her, but getting back to sneak. So it's funny because Mulaney and I are sitting, and then, you know, people are walking by, like, dude, that was funny. You know, and people are fist bumping. And I see the girl that tried to kick me out of the backstage area earlier, and she's like, how'd that guy get in here?
John Holmberg
So you were like, front row?
Toledo
Yes.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
So you ended up in the front row because.
John Holmberg
Pretty awesome.
Toledo
Well, I just asked the right person. I did. It turns out the promoter was somebody who had brought me to Hawaii earlier with Russell Peters.
John Holmberg
Just keep going.
Toledo
I just keep going. You have to. You have to.
John Holmberg
The smartest thing.
Toledo
And at sporting events, I will. I went to NBA Finals Game 6 between the Sonics and the Bulls for free, which initially was. And I shouldn't be saying this. This on the air, but because this whole strategy, I was really proud of.
John Holmberg
Right.
Toledo
Friend of mine works at the Key arena now. It's called something else. It's called Climate Pledge Arena. And he says, I. I can get you into the arena, but you just won't have a seat. And I go, that's okay, dude. It's game six. Sure.
John Holmberg
It's.
Toledo
It's Jordan and. And the Sonics and Gary Payton and.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
And so he sneaks me into the building. And then I realized they're being really tight. If I'm standing in any aisle, the ushers are like, you know, hey, you got to get your seat. And then we go to the next section, right, sir, you got to take your seat. And. And it was. It was mad. So I had an idea. I walked out towards the exit and talked to one of the ticket takers, like, for 10 minutes and said, hey, is there. Can I leave and come back? He goes, well, if you need a ATM, because they didn't have ATMs at the time, the arena, or if you're something else. And I go, oh, what, I need an atm? And he goes, oh, yeah, well, yeah, you can leave. You have your ticket, right? And I go, yeah, I have my ticket. And he goes, all right, yeah, yeah, as long as you have a ticket. And I started talking to him, made him laugh. And I go, well, I'm actually a stand up comedian. He goes, oh, wow, good. Right on.
John Holmberg
And homeless, sexual.
Toledo
So I walk out and there was always a collection of scalpers on the corner of the street outside the arena on Mercer. And I walked out and I see the scalpers. I go, hey, who's got one good seat? And I'm like, okay, what do you got? And I go, what do you have? And one guy had a seat down by the court, fourth row of section 101. And he. 101, row four, seat five. And I. I go, how much? And he goes, 800 bucks right now, it's yours. And I go, nah, I can't. He goes, what do you want? Come on, 800. I go, I can't. He goes, give me six. 600 right now. Put it in your hand, put it your hand. Come on, 600, it's yours. I go, no, I'm sorry. He goes, give me 400. I go, I got a wire. He goes, what do you want? Well, tell me how much you want. I go, I don't want to pay. I just walked away and went back to the arena. I got in line, people are walking in, and I see the ticket taker, and he goes, where's your ticket? And I go. He goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on in. He didn't recognize my face. And I go, hey. I go, hey, we're section 101.
John Holmberg
No, you knew that because of the go down.
Toledo
So I walked down to 101, went down to the fourth row. I go, excuse me, seat number five over here. No one's in it. Sat down at seat.
John Holmberg
Damn it, you're a scam artist.
Toledo
Sat there until the middle of the third quarter.
John Holmberg
And then somebody showed up.
Toledo
And then someone showed up. And at that point, I was still drinking back then. I was like, I'm gay now.
John Holmberg
I'm stay here.
Brady Bogen
That was the only time.
Toledo
Yeah. By the way, it'll be funny because I'm doing shows this week. It'll be funny if I get out to stir craze. And they're like, yeah, we got a full house, but only three people pay everybody.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, everybody sneak into Craig's show. It's about time you Got some payback.
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
What does that have to do with anything?
Toledo
That is my biggest fear. But it's tough to get into stuff at the Super Bowl. They have really.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. They got. They've tightened her up.
Toledo
They. They hire tough security. There's.
John Holmberg
It's a challenge.
Toledo
Cops.
John Holmberg
But again, you went into a. I think it was Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
With me.
Toledo
Yeah. In the sweets.
John Holmberg
And you showed me the door you came through. And I've looked at that and there's a straight up and down ladder on a wall. And like, you were like John McClane from Die Hard getting through the vents and I don't know, shoes on. He's standing next to me with a plate of cookies. Taps you in the shoulder, goes, hey, love ya. And he gives me a hug. And I'm like, how did you do that? I was kind of proud and kind of pissed at the same time because I forked out a fortun for that thing. And there's Craig. I'm like, do you want to come with? I can get you a ticket. It's this much. No, I'm gonna go to the game anyway. And then he's standing in the suite with us. Son of a. But it was.
Toledo
It was so much easier than that. It was literally one stairwell to get up there.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Well, what I saw was a fireman's ladder outside. Horrible. Yeah. Yeah. It was like a gauntlet of fire. Like American Gladiator to get in there.
Toledo
Can I get upstairs, take my pants off? What does that have to do with.
John Holmberg
What does that have to do today? You are homosexual. Right?
Toledo
What does that have to do with it?
John Holmberg
That I'm going to answer that for everything now because that. That does not answer the question at all. Yes, maybe. No. I don't know. Craig Gass is here. We'll talk about his plans for what goes on as we go through the morning. He's going to hang out with us. The Brady Report is coming up and.
Toledo
I'm doing two shows.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Toledo
In Gilbert tomorrow. Wait, no. Wednesday. Doing two shows in Gilbert on Wednesday at PJ's.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Toledo
Two shows. That stir crazy on Thursday.
John Holmberg
Look at you. Big.
Toledo
Is he. All the info is@getgas.com getgas.com pjps or. Oh, my God.
John Holmberg
Oh, boy. Look into your own pro. Oh, Jesus. No, he should know this. He should know this.
Toledo
JP's comic.
John Holmberg
Great. Back door at JP's. You can sneak right in. It's easy.
Toledo
Getgas.com getgas.com with two S's head on.
John Holmberg
Over there and find out where Craig thinks he's going and then ask him a couple questions. It is JP's. You were right.
Toledo
JP's Wednesday. Stir crazy.
John Holmberg
You did say PJ's first. I did say the crazy stuff. What does that have to do different? That's it. We're gonna do the Brady report next. It's 98 KUPD. It's out of control now. All right, let's get right to business. Craig Gass is our special guest today. And Shane. Yeah. For the rest of the week probably. Man. Shane, I got this email from a guy that says before we get to the bravery for two months back, my best friend says, we're going to Sedona, February 9th through 12th, for your birthday. Because my birthday is the 9th. Who towns who turns down a free room at the Hyatt in Sedona? Then I realized the super bowl weekend, he didn't think about it when we booked it. It is going to be a problem. You're going to sit on that road into Sedona for two or three hours. There's going to be no movement. Sedona is already crowded. I can't imagine what it's going to be like this weekend. Friday and Saturday. Insane.
Brady Bogen
You think the weekend will be?
John Holmberg
Oh, it's going to be the worst.
Brady Bogen
I guess up until Saturday. And they're all heading out.
John Holmberg
Awful. It's awful. If people from Philly are this close, they're going to see. They're gonna go up to Sedona. Oh, he's great. Everything's red. I need a glass of water. Can't stand Philadelphia. I just want to be rude to them.
Toledo
Do they have a number of. How many people are coming to Phoenix?
John Holmberg
Well, not. Well, they always say it's like 150,000 for the Super Bowl. That's what cities always talk about. That's the influx of people. And however many go, that's gotta be more than. We got Phoenix open.
Toledo
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
So this is. It's gonna be a nutty week there, Craig. You got a lot to sneak into, my friend. A lot. It's time now for Brady to give you all the news that only Brady knows. We call this the Brady Report. It's brought to you by our friends at Hooters. And of course, it's the big game week over at Hooters. You can make your plans now to hang out with the Hooters girls for hot wings, cold drinks. Plus you can watch on a 70 inch UHD smart television and win it. How about that? You gotta Be there to win it, though. Must be present to collect that giant television. They're trying to give you a good time and a TV over at Hooters. And that's just what you need to do. Head on over there and watch at the delightful Hooters and say hi to Brittany and all the girls, because I'm sure there'll be a Brittany. They're positive of it. Brady, report it.
Brady Bogen
Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world.
John Holmberg
Hi.
Brady Bogen
Happy National Chopsticks Day.
John Holmberg
Oh, right in time for the balloon. I shot that balloon down Saturday. An hour later, I wanted to shoot another one down.
Brady Bogen
A couple of basis fun facts. Jenga means to build in Swahili. The woman who invented it was born in Ghana and came up with it when she lived there. And she wouldn't let Hasbro change the name when they bought it from her.
John Holmberg
No kidding. She put her foot down.
Brady Bogen
Yep. The guy who created Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was friends with Harry Houdini, but they wound up hating each other other after a fight over whether Houdini had magical powers. Houdini swore he didn't. Doyle.
John Holmberg
Doyle was convinced of it.
Brady Bogen
Oh, yeah.
Toledo
What a funny guy to be in a fight with.
John Holmberg
Houdini.
Toledo
You're being a dick.
John Holmberg
Hey, where'd you go, you asshole?
Toledo
You dick.
John Holmberg
Especially if you're trying to say. Because you know he'd be a jerk about it. You. I know you've got magic powers, Harry. I know you do. God damn it. That's proof right there. Where'd you go? I'm just messing with you, Arthur. I don't have magic powers. A trick.
Toledo
Look, I'm floating now. I'm inside.
John Holmberg
Look at that. You're. You're deep inside me, Harry. And I did not allow that. Look, Artie, it's a trick. I'm not really in there. You just think I'm in you. I can feel it, Harry.
Brady Bogen
Last week, the Popes watch this sticky fluid.
John Holmberg
Harry, you finished, didn't you? That's a trick.
Brady Bogen
It's invisible ink. Put it on your face.
John Holmberg
Put it on your face. I just tossed pudding at you.
Toledo
Taste it.
John Holmberg
Harry, you're getting close to me hating you. One more time, I'm gonna punch you square in the guts. Wouldn't it be funny if Arthur Doyle was the one that ended him with a punch to the guts for all of his trickery?
Brady Bogen
Last week the Pope's official Twitter account posted a delete and then deleted it. But it was praising the fingers on your hand. Each one symbolizes something.
John Holmberg
Who did this?
Brady Bogen
The Pope.
John Holmberg
Oh.
Brady Bogen
When he got to praising the middle finger, it was all very innocent, but he wasn't really telling Catholics to flip each other off.
John Holmberg
Yeah, which is, by the way, the least harmful thing Catholic priests have done with their fingers.
Brady Bogen
The part says the middle finger, which is higher than any other others, reminds us of something essential. Honestly, to be honest means not getting entangled in the snares of corruption. And so this cabbie from New York says, I'm using what the Pope gave me by his instructions.
John Holmberg
Using the middle finger pointing to God for you. Thanks, Pope. Yeah. Finger advice from the Catholic Church. Probably. They just need to settle on that one. What, a coffee table book? Yeah, it's a time before finger advice. A friend of the Pope. Oh, God, make him quiet.
Brady Bogen
Scientists at Penn State University have created a smart diaper with a built in sensor that's able to send parents push notification on their phone when their child's diaper needs to be changed.
John Holmberg
They can't tell as parents.
Brady Bogen
Oh, you don't have to put your nose down there. You used to have to sometimes. Or you give it a feel on it.
John Holmberg
I'm not a parent.
Brady Bogen
There's a low.
John Holmberg
You're not a parent.
Toledo
Never been one.
John Holmberg
I don't think if I think. Think you pooped. That's enough for me. I'm not gonna confirm it with scent tests.
Brady Bogen
A lot of times, you know, just look at their face. That facial expression.
John Holmberg
I'll take the diaper off and look and go, oh, I was wrong, and then put it right back on. But I am not putting my nose next to the anus of a child again. Advice the Pope gave me.
Toledo
You can always tell with a facial expression. That what you said?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Brady Bogen
They got poop face.
Toledo
They call it the immaterial.
John Holmberg
All right, I was waiting for that. It is not a free for all because there's. You've been. You've been missing since that dismissal. That's enough. You got yours in now. Don't. We don't need that storm.
Toledo
Are you ready, bro? Are you ready? You ready to do this?
John Holmberg
Are you overthinking it? That's enough out of you. We've moved forward. Let's be grown ups despite it.
Brady Bogen
Aramark is a company that does food services, including stadiums. They also do schools.
John Holmberg
Oh, hold on. Before you do this. Brett, you leave the room. What? Just leave the room for this. You can't. No, he can't be here for this.
Toledo
Why?
John Holmberg
He can't be here for this. He just can't. You guys just go stand in the house. Just go stand outside and wait for the delay. Watch this. Listen to him laugh eight seconds after this happens, okay?
Brady Bogen
Covering up any headline.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't look, but Brett can't be in the room for this. Brett. Brett happens to find anything that rhymes with something racist to be the funniest thing in the world. If it even teeters on racism, and it's not, he'll start laughing.
Brady Bogen
He had to hold back on Chopsticks Day.
John Holmberg
Yeah. This headline will end him, and it'll make him look terrible, but you'll hear him in the hallway. I guarantee it.
Brady Bogen
Aramark, you just want the headline.
John Holmberg
Read the headline.
Brady Bogen
Aramark apologizes for unintentional insensitivity after serving students chicken and watermelon on the first day of Black History Month.
John Holmberg
Wait for it. 5, 4, 3. Here comes. Very close. All right. You can see he just lost in the hallway. It's a terrible, terrible thing we've got with him. He's still going. See, he finds this kind of. He's from Chicago. He's pure Italian. He comes from a place where his family laughed at everything that was almost racist.
Brady Bogen
The school lunch in question was served to students at Nyack middle school on February 1st.
John Holmberg
Nyack.
Toledo
In New York.
Brady Bogen
Yeah. A decision that upsets some students and.
John Holmberg
Parents in order to make race relations better. Can the first step be that we all love chicken and watermelon? Watermelon, yeah. Can it be that it's no longer funny to people like Brett that it's just food and food's not racist? Can we have that first step of, like, you know what, guys, let's free the chicken and watermelon thing from a.
Brady Bogen
And they stepped it up a little bit. It was chicken and waffles, and then watermelon was dessert.
John Holmberg
Oh, God. They were after it. Chicken and waffles for the first day of Black History Month, which is Black.
Toledo
History Month, brought to you by Roscoe.
John Holmberg
We turned it up a notch. Kids, how you doing? I'm the new school chef. For one month, we're really appealing to our base.
Brady Bogen
Seniors at the Villages retirement community in Florida are supposedly tying loofahs to the tops of their cars to let people know they're swingers. New senior code.
John Holmberg
Yuck. Yuck.
Brady Bogen
Different colors are supposed to mean different things. Purple, loofah.
John Holmberg
Brown, Brown, brown. The brown loofah is the one. I don't want to just avoid that couple.
Brady Bogen
The teal means you swing both ways.
John Holmberg
Yep. Dolphins.
Toledo
Yellow means I need to go to the bath.
John Holmberg
Yellow Means diapers fall.
Toledo
I made an accident. Yeah, I'm pulling an Eric now.
John Holmberg
We've talked about this. That's enough. Start bothering you.
Brady Bogen
This dude from New York was diagnosed with prostate cancer 20 months ago. And now one of the signs or symptoms is he's got an uncontrollable Irish accent. It's the first time they've ever seen this from cancer. They call it the accent syndrome.
John Holmberg
It's happened to people who hit their heads and stuff. Like that one lady that bonked her head and woke up with a Scottish accent and couldn't shake it.
Toledo
People have hit their head and they.
John Holmberg
Have an accent, have a larger vocabulary. They, like, somebody hit Brady.
Toledo
We.
Brady Bogen
We tried.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we've tried to bonk him a few times. It's not working.
Brady Bogen
And now it's time for some wild work.
John Holmberg
It would be great though if we hit Brady's like, hey, they don't know what's going on here. But I've got to tell you something. I'm Irish now and I don't know what's going on. I'm thirsty for a drink.
Brady Bogen
Stupid article.
Toledo
Dennis Miller material. Yeah, man, this crowd's harder to get off than Martha Stewart on a bed of sheets.
John Holmberg
Dirty sheets. I'm sorry. Still a little Brady in there. Wild America.
Toledo
No, no, no. She's harder to get out. Hold on, wait.
John Holmberg
She's got the.
Toledo
She's harder to get off the dirty. You know Dennis Miller, right?
John Holmberg
You should Google that. That one.
Brady Bogen
Hello, my friends, it's Brady Bogart and this is your Wild Wild World. Got another fatal shark attack. 16 year old girl was on a wavering.
Toledo
All in celebration of black history.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brady Bogen
On the Swan river, which is in Perth. And she was in fresh water.
John Holmberg
Most likely a bull shark ate her dead. Huh.
Brady Bogen
She was on the Waverunner. She stopped, jumped in the water, thought she saw a pair of dolphins. She wanted to get in there, get closer to them.
John Holmberg
Not dolphins.
Brady Bogen
It might have been dolphins, but they scooted out of there, the bull shark came in, bit her in the leg and she bled out really quick.
John Holmberg
And which video would you rather see? The fish video from Friday or the video? I think Shark attack. Yeah, we showed Craig the fish video.
Toledo
Yeah, shark attack.
John Holmberg
Shark attack. For sure.
Toledo
Yeah. I have so many questions about the fish video you sent me.
John Holmberg
So, so many.
Toledo
I. I just. I didn't understand.
John Holmberg
And we have a. It's. It's. That's a good thing because normalizing it in your brain would scare me. One of the guys in our digital department is a religious guy.
Toledo
Mormon.
Brett Vesely
And he came up to me begging.
John Holmberg
Me to, you got to send me that video. And I don't have it. You got to ask Brett or John. We did and they did. And he came and got me. I said, you actually watch that, you're going to have to go to search twice. All the way to the end, I.
Brett Vesely
Gave him a warning all. I'm like, dude, I'm telling you, the.
Brady Bogen
Guy broke the rule to too.
John Holmberg
What do you mean?
Brady Bogen
Because it smells like trout.
John Holmberg
All right.
Toledo
Holberg had the best line about it. I. I just landed in Phoenix. And I said, hey, just landed in Phoenix. I'm exhausted, gonna take a nap. And by the way, that Reddit video you sent me, I couldn't. It wouldn't load. I'm gonna put on my laptop later and try to find it. And he goes, dude, watch it now. It's a perfect setup to go to bed.
John Holmberg

Toledo
Yeah, true.
John Holmberg

Brady Bogen
We do have a video of an 8 year old kid. He was in the water and he was fishing and he pulled one of the fish off the stringer and put it onto the back of the boat. And that's when a little four or five foot black tip shark bit him in the chest.
John Holmberg
The boy in the chest?
Brady Bogen
Yeah. He got a tooth souvenir out of it. It didn't gave him more or less love bite.
John Holmberg
Came a nerp.
Brady Bogen
Yeah.
Toledo
Huh.
John Holmberg
He gave him a. He twisted and pulled it up.
Brady Bogen
I think he confused the kid's torso with the fish that he fish was pretty big that he's putting up there.
John Holmberg
Huh.
Brady Bogen
I mean, not much smaller than the. The kid. And it just comes up and gets him right underneath the arm. Boom. And then goes back.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
While Toledo's fine. Then there's a guy that was robbing a bank in South Jersey.

He wore dirty socks on his hands because he didn't want to leave any fingerprints. Had the hat on, disguising his face and everything. So he bents over. He bends over to get a pile of the cash, and that's when the Corona bottle tumbled out of his jacket. Scrambled grab the cash, left the DNA. Yep. Got it on the bottle.

John Holmberg
Yeah, I understand. She's on the ground and he's got his legs apart. Well, that's the ending. All right, here's how it starts. I was gonna say.
Toledo

John Holmberg
Oh, now they're in a car that resets. All right, this is just. This is terrible so far.
Toledo
Great setup.
John Holmberg
Somebody's standing on another person's car twerking. Oh, falls. Right.

John Holmberg
You mean. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
He choked out.

Brady Bogen
But then you see the leg on the inside on the turn.
John Holmberg
That's the cape.
Toledo
But it's the cape. It's definitely the cape.
John Holmberg
All right. At first they felt bad. Now dude in a cape getting hurt makes me. I'm fine with it. Cape guy.
Toledo
It's like, I don't know if you ever do this. Have you ever been watching a football game where you don't care about either team? Team. And then you'll be rooting for one team? Like, I hope this one team wins. And then you see a fan of that team in the stand. It looks like such an ass.
John Holmberg
You know what?
Toledo
I want that guy to be unhappy.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I just. Yeah. Certain people being sad makes me happy. That's a.
Toledo
And I just. I switched the middle of that video. I actually, I felt bad for the guy because it looked like a painful injury. And I'm like, oh, no, he's wearing a cape.
John Holmberg
When I heard the word tape, I'm like, oh, I hope that gets wound up in a tire and pulls you off of the bike. And that's exactly what happened.
Brady Bogen
All right, so here's the couple's lift.
John Holmberg
Or Asian people trying to get to the balloon.
Brady Bogen
He's going to flip her over in the back.
John Holmberg
He's got her now.

John Holmberg
Oh, you sick prick. When he lifts her up, listen for the. The moment she's not that heavy.
Toledo
All right?
John Holmberg
And it makes a little splat sound.
Toledo
He knows it. You can see the look on his face. He knows it's coming, but he's being.
Brady Bogen
A gentleman by not dropping.
Toledo
Well. He's trying to play along and he's trying to concentrate. Trait. I think the most fascinating part of it is the first three or four seconds where you can see on his face that he's.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's not trusting this one.
Toledo
Oh, no. Yeah, he's grimacing.
John Holmberg
He doesn't even walk away from it, though. He lets her land in it.
Toledo
He's trying to smile, knowing.
Brady Bogen
Can't wipe your mouth now. Both hands.
John Holmberg
Those people's jokes have advanced so much further than the pee and the coke thing.
Brady Bogen
Now they're off to crack.
Toledo
You can't wipe your mouth. I didn't even think about that. Your hands just went.
John Holmberg
Oh, my. That was horrible. All right, well, speaking of horrible, Brett.

John Holmberg
I know, but you're. You're the one who has to sift through it and find the gems. And you're doing a great job. Andy Dufresne would never touch a woman again. He immediately went down and asked the sisters for another run.
Brett Vesely
He went to the gay rehab after that.
John Holmberg
You know what? What you guys been doing ain't so bad.
Toledo
Andy asked the question. We were all thinking, what does that.
John Holmberg
Have to do with anything? Yuck. Yeah. If you don't remember, L7, right? Yeah.
Toledo
Of course.
John Holmberg
On stage, pulled it out and whipped it and threw it at the crowd.
Toledo
I'm sure you could probably find that.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. We don't need to see. That was it Infest.
Toledo
I think the first Infest in Seattle.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And she pulled it out, and it was like that weird Maroonish brown. We all know it. And she spun it first like a lasso.
Toledo
Yeah.

Toledo
Now.
John Holmberg
It's John Holberg here for 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 knee 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 all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute head there right now, the core institute.com and our friend Craig Gast joins us this week. He's going to do super bowl things and you're kind of are. You're going to be our correspondent, although we're more borrowing off of what you do. Our man on the streets then you are doing things for us, correct?
Toledo

You're trying to go. Well, legally, yes, you will go.
Toledo
I usually go legally. And I send the content to the super bowl cities. Yes, whatever cities are being represented. I send it to my buddies out there and go, here, you can take this. And I get silly and fun stuff. And I'm also doing two nights of shows, one in Gilbert and one in Glendale. All the info's@getgast.com I'm at JP's Comedy Club Wednesday in Gilbert. Stir crazy on Thursday, a bunch of friends are performing with me.
John Holmberg
Who you got?
Toledo
GetGast.com I mean, I can't. I can't. They're in town and but yeah, I can't. It would be a dick move to say, hey, and then these guys are.
John Holmberg
Going to join and you're not here for the super bowl itself because then you could do our show Sunday with Adam Ray and special guests and Gary Cannon. No, we're doing it up at CB live up in Scottsdale. CB live at like 2 o'clock before the show starts. We're going to have.
Toledo
You can do an afternoon show.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And then build right into the watch Party.
Toledo
Wow.
John Holmberg
So just everybody goof around, do some standup about things and then go right into the Super Bowl.
Toledo
Used to be notoriously my drunkest day of the year.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Toledo
Here in Arizona, the. The game comes on at 4, 4 34. So usually start drinking one or two. Oh man. 8pm on Super Bowl Sunday.
John Holmberg
Just plaster ugly.
Toledo
Really looking for.
John Holmberg
Do you miss it?
Toledo
No.
John Holmberg
Not at all. Right. It's a good thing that it's all off your radar now. It's all because I've been around you with, you know, pressures and people drinking and all that. You don't even seem to have, have like an itch. It doesn't bother you to be around it? No. Maybe at least outwardly guys will like party.
Toledo
Like Greg Wilson was doing Questions.
John Holmberg
Jesus. Kind of anonymous is. Is anonymous to you. So Greg Wilson is bumping. Go ahead.
Toledo
Craig W. That's right.
Brady Bogen
Yeah, much better, Much better.
Toledo
Greg W. Is chopping coke, goes, oh man, I'm sorry, should I not be doing this in front of you? And I go, I go, it's fine. He goes, okay. He kept snorting it.
John Holmberg
Craig. Well, now we know he has a problem. Craig W. We hope Ilson gets better.
Toledo
Greg started, ended up with the same problem I had. He had a heart attack.
John Holmberg
Oh, no kidding.
Toledo
Yeah, I had a heart attack. Greg had a heart attack. So we're. So he's still, I think, I think he's sober. I don't know.
John Holmberg
Because you didn't sober up because of the heart attack.
Toledo
It scared me straight for a year and two weeks.
John Holmberg
Right.
Toledo
And then I relapsed. And then the two year anniversary of the heart attack, I was like, what am I doing?
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
And then I just had this moment of clarity that people talk about.
John Holmberg
Isn't that crazy? And since then, nothing. Yeah, pretty amazing.
Toledo
Nothing. No drugs, no alcohol. 18 years. And then that first year that I got sober, seven of my friends died.
John Holmberg
Oh.
Toledo
All comedians. Four drug overdose. Three drinking and driving, car accidents. It's how I know Mitch Hedberg was my first roommate in New York. Mitch is the first of seven comedian friends of mine who died from drugs or alcohol in the first year that I got cleaned. So when March 31st hits this year, I'll know it'll be exactly 18 years that Mitch has been gone because.
John Holmberg
Is that 18 years?
Toledo
It's been 18 years since Mitch passed away.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Toledo
Did you ever have him on your show?
John Holmberg
I would have guessed nine. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Mitch was awesome. Like one of the like single most creative mind to come in this room.
Brady Bogen
It's so fun to look at him as he's is the mind's working.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he was great.
Brady Bogen
The eyes closed a little bit.
Toledo
He's so. First night I ever met him was one of the most beautiful nights I've ever. Stand up comedy. I'm. I. There would be comedians that would. I was in Seattle doing open mics, trying to figure out how to do it, and there'd be certain comedians that had reputation, like, oh, man. Patton Oswald. You got it. Really? Oh, yeah. Patton Oswald's like, he's a killer. Oh, man. Mitch Hedberg.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Really, dude? Yeah, dude. That guy's rock and roll. He's so cool. So I campaign not knowing anything about this guy. Mitch Headburg. I want to open for Mitch Head. Can I be the opener? And like, yeah, yeah. So I get the gig and Mitch shows up and I go, hey, Mitch, I'm Craig. Guess I'm your opening act. And he goes, all right, on, man. Yeah. And then I go up and I do my welcome to the show. I'm Craig High energy. And I go, are you guys ready for your headliner? Please welcome Mitch. Edward. It's Sol.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Mitch gets up on stage and there's this weird moment where he goes, all right, hey, where. Where is Thomas? Thomas? And the whole crowd's like, ready for a comedy show. And he goes, thomas. Where is Thomas? And you hear a guy in the back room, he goes, I'm back here, man. There's. There's no chairs. And he goes, what? Thomas? Just. Can somebody find a seat for Thomas? Oh, you know what? Screw it. Thomas. I have a chair right here on the stage and just come up here on stage. And then everyone's dead silent. You hear this. Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, pardon me, excuse me. This guy's walking through a sold out crowd. He gets up on stage, turns around and everyone starts laughing because nobody knows who the hell this guy Thomas is. But as soon as he turns around, I was like, God, that guy is hot. That guy is really high. He sits down, he's got a leather jacket on. And I'll always remember, Thomas hat had a pin on his jacket. It wasn't a legitimate merch pin from Spencer's. He had a homemade pin where he had typed the word motorhead and made a pin out of it on his jacket. He turns around and Mitch goes, all right, well, my name's Mitch and these are my jokes. And he starts doing material. And every time he does a joke. Back then, before he built his own audience, the audience would take a Beat.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
And analyze what he said. And they'd start laughing. There was always like a halfbeat, like, oh, my God, it was riddles. It was riddles.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
And they would start laughing. Mitch would start to do his next joke when Thomas understood what just happened. And Thomas would start giggling, which would make Mitch go, ha, ha. Hell yeah. And the crowd would laugh again, again. And then Thomas and Mitch would laugh again.
John Holmberg
So happy. Thomas, that's glorious.
Toledo
And every joke he did had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 waves of laughter. Every joke.
John Holmberg
And then the recognition of people who got it later. And then the. And then it just kept going.
Toledo
In 45 minutes, Mitch did what would have been easily a 10 or 15 minute set because. Because every joke had so many waves of laughter. And then a couple years later, Mitch lets me move in with him in New York. And.
John Holmberg
Because you're homosexuals.
Toledo
What does that have to do.
John Holmberg
Anyway, go ahead, finish the story.
Toledo
So, first day that I moved into his apartment, I got he. I'm trying to get my bearings straight, and Mitch is trying to tell me where everything is, because I'm gonna have the apartment to myself the first weekend in New York. And so he's like, oh, yeah, man, this is the key for this door. And this is the key for this, the security door. And then at one point he goes, oh, hey, Craig, this is a map of the New York City subway. And on the back of his front door was this enormous map of the MTA system, which, the first time you look at it, it's very confusing. It's red, blue, yellow lines all crossing over each other. And I'm looking at the map, and Mitch goes, so that's how that works. And he walks away. And what the hell? You know, I'm still confused, but, yeah, Mitch, 18 years.
John Holmberg
That's amazing. I would have never guessed 18. I would have maybe put 10 on that. Maybe.
Toledo
Yeah, it's.
John Holmberg
It's.
Toledo
God, the guy loved decadence. And the last time we saw him.
Brady Bogen
He'S laying down on the.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, he was at Celebrity Theater. Yeah, he was at Celebrity Theater. I heard pills thrown at him.
Toledo
Pills. And he was eating the pills.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And evidently the show was ridiculously funny. And then everybody's like, was that real? And it turns out that was very real, that the audience was chucking pills at him, and he was just eating them off the floor one afternoon, not. Not caring what they were or what was going on.
Toledo
I would hear when I was living with him, we would drink. He smoked. Never saw heroin.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Toledo
Never saw. And I Would hear. When I was living with him, Mitch signed a deal with. It was either Fox or ABC for almost a million dollars for a holding deal, which is, here's a million dollars. Don't work with anybody else else for two years.
John Holmberg
Just in case we get something.
Toledo
We don't know what we're going to put you in.
John Holmberg
Right.
Toledo
But here's a million dollars. So you don't work with any other network. And there's many times where those deals expire and you just keep the money. It's like, all right, see you. And once he got that money, he moved out of the apartment and into the Chelsea Hotel. And I didn't hear from him. And that's when I started hearing stories like, you know, Mitch is really messed up. Really bad. No, Mitch. And one of the stories was celebrity. The theater.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
He was eating pills off the.
John Holmberg
It was like a year later, maybe less, that he died.
Toledo
That he died.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
I heard that he also walked off the stage and made out with an elderly lady. Yes.
John Holmberg
Which was not because. All right. That was just okay to do. I. I recommend you take that joke. I think you should start that Craig Guess like a Neil diamond moment of your show.
Toledo
You're like, the old lady's like, what does this have to do with anything?
Brady Bogen
All right, let's do sexual.
John Holmberg
Stop it. Yeah. So it'll be interest. So tonight, I think that's what you should do when you go to the media night.
Toledo
Take the pills.
John Holmberg
Is take some pills and then make out with one of the older players.
Toledo
Throw pills at Mahomes.
John Holmberg
There you go. Yeah. Do you have questions at the ready? Should we have listeners ask send you questions?
Toledo
If you want to send me questions, you can send me questions. And I already have a theme.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Toledo
My theme is to focus on Eagles fans. Because of that. They're horrible because of that. Because they've booed Santa Claus, they've thrown.
John Holmberg
They. They cheered when Michael Irvin was carted off on a stretcher because his neck possibly broke in Philly.
Toledo
Yep.
John Holmberg
And they cheered wildly.
Toledo
And when they won a Super bowl, the fans ate horse manure.
John Holmberg
I don't remember that.
Toledo
You're kidding. No.
John Holmberg
I thought that was just a. I thought that was called a Philly cheese steak.
Brady Bogen
I did that after.
John Holmberg
I thought they did that every day. Me neither.
Toledo
You can look that up.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Brett Vesely
Look it up.
Toledo
They what? They were celebrating in the streets and a video went viral of fans next to a horse on a cop on a horse. And they're like, yeah, I'm gonna eat this Horse. And they start taking piles.
John Holmberg
I need fiber. Yeah. Yeah. It was better than eating a Philly lady, that's for sure.
Brady Bogen
That's what they kept saying.
John Holmberg
Yeah. This tastes like your wife, Dave. Yuck. Philadelphia.
Toledo
Do it. Drive me to Wachovia.
John Holmberg
Go.
Toledo
Oh, wait.
John Holmberg
Oh, no. You've got. You've got a video of it immediately.
Toledo
Oh, yeah, here we go.
John Holmberg
I can't. I'm not. I'm not Brett. I shouldn't. So it's a TMZ video. So they talk most.
Toledo
My goal is to talk to Eagles players and get them to paint a rosy picture.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Of their fans. Cuz. Which they will.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. He is face into the manure. Okay, that's horrible. I'd rather watch that fish from last. So that's enough of that.
Toledo
That back up Eagles players will give me a will through rose colored glasses. Describe their fans as being great and wonderful and literally everyone else will tell the truth.
John Holmberg
Yes. And that's the Chiefs players to describe Eagles fans.
Toledo
Correct.
John Holmberg
Yes. That's pretty stuff.
Toledo
They'll still get. They'll still be diplomatic, which is why I want to go to fans. But the Eagles players across the board will defend their fans. Yeah, of course.
John Holmberg
Somehow.
Toledo
Somehow.
John Holmberg
There you go.
Brett Vesely
It's a non TMZ video.
John Holmberg
And this is the dude staggering drunk down the road in a Randall Cunningham jersey because he hasn't had enough money since Cunningham left the Eagles to buy another jersey.
Toledo
Bouncing back and forth like he's about to get in a fist fight, like he's hyping himself up.
John Holmberg
God, it's happening and it's a lot.
Toledo
He's doing it.
John Holmberg
Now. Now he's on his knees and that's when you realize on his knees, he's.
Toledo
Got face down in horse manure. There are pellets of horse manure.
John Holmberg
Oh, God.
Toledo
And he's putting his face right in. Everybody's getting their cameras in.
John Holmberg
Listen to the fans of Philly. Excited about it. Like they're happy about it.
Toledo
John, you just missed the grossest shot. The grossest shot of it.
Brady Bogen
Now he displays the biscuit in the mouth.
John Holmberg
Yes, I know. No, I'm not watching it again.
Toledo
Wait, pause, pause. Right on it.
John Holmberg
Oh, there. I saw. I saw it. I saw. Enough right there. That's enough. I get it. What are you, Kevin Costner all of a sudden? It's not the Zapruder film.
Brett Vesely
It's terrible quality.
Toledo
One back to the left.
John Holmberg
Back. It's up to you. Oh, God. All right, I get it. I know what's in there. Yeah.
Toledo
So how do they submit questions to me?
John Holmberg
Well, we can do it through this. Holmberg@98kupd.com and I'll hand them over and we'll go. As the morning goes, there's questions you want. If you were on the media row tonight asking any players for either team a question, Craig will be the liaison between you and the player themselves. Any question you want to ask, have you. Have you seen this fish video yet? Is the first thing I see. And then you just show somebody the fish. Have you seen. Have you seen trout lady yet?
Toledo
It's tough.
John Holmberg
Let's make trout lady huge. I will ask them all that. Just say, have you googled trout lady yet? And then there'll be no but then NFL Network will be like, comedian Craig, gasp, trout lady. And then they'll look and they'll be like, oh, my sweet Jesus, why? And then it'll be a national story.
Toledo
As you know, the NFL is very, very conservative.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Toledo
And I'm always. I try to get close to the line. I won't go to the line.
John Holmberg
Right.
Toledo
But I try to get close line. Mike. Artie Lang. I was with Artie when he got banned by the NFL for asking a question that got the answer that got him in trouble. His question was, this was Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans, San Francisco versus Raven, Ravens, 49ers versus Ravens. And for the first time, a player had come out as an active player, had come out as being gay.
John Holmberg
Right.
Toledo
And Artie said to one of the guys on the 49ers, what would you do if you found out that one of your teammates was gay? And the 49ers player said, I punch him in the mouth. I remember, you better not get close to me. I'll punch you. And Artie goes, oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. He, like, put the microphone up in his face and let him finish and let him continue. Continue. And he continued to expand on the idea of physically assaulting one of his teammates. And because of the way that player.
John Holmberg
Answered, already got banned for bringing it.
Toledo
Up, for bringing it out.
John Holmberg
So we won't talk about your gay stuff. We'll keep that. We'll keep that just between us on this show. All right, well, stuff.
Toledo
And Gilbert on Wednesday and then moving it all over Glendale onto all the tickets for the comedy shows. Wednesday, Gilbert. Thursday, Thursday, Glendale. Getgas.com getgas with 2s's.com all right, we'll.
John Holmberg
Get some questions, and then we'll see if people have some good ones. But if you want homework@98kvp.com. We'll send Craig armed with your questions, and he'll siphon through and see if we can get one. We got a what would Brady do? Coming up next. It's 98. It's out of control now. It's John Holmberg here, and it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins and my home group and Doug Hopkins dot com. When I have questions about real estate, I look no further than TV's Doug Hopkins. And right now, the market seems to be on pause. It's not bad, but it's not great. And Doug told me that selling a house right now might be a little bit tough. If you need or want to sell your home right now, the best way to avoid all the traditional real estate pitfalls is to call TVs Doug Hopkins right now 1-800-sell now or start the entire process on online@doug hopkins.com. everybody sing. All right, I've got a few questions we're gonna get to for Craig. And then we got.
Brady Bogen
There's gotta be some.
John Holmberg
There's a couple of good ones in here. I've. I've edited, I've added, I've helped. And we'll just include it in. What would Brady do? As we speak right now. What would Brady do? That's right. What would Brady do? The most moral man in all of Phoenix is here to solve your problems. And the questions I. I have from some listeners here and from me. This one's from me. I like this one. I've rented my Airbnb to a family of Eagles fans. What do you suggest I use to get the smell out after they leave?
Toledo
Oh, my God.
John Holmberg
You can ask any of the Chiefs.
Toledo
Can I get you on camera asking the question? So it's not me asking it.
John Holmberg
I'll do it. Yeah, you'd say, hey, a friend of mine has this question. Hold me up, I'll do it. This one says every office in America. You can ask either team. Every office in America has the employee that makes them nervous that someday he's gonna snap. Known as the office weirdo. Who is that on your team?
Toledo
That's a great question.
John Holmberg
That's a really good question.
Toledo
That's a similar.
Brady Bogen
Because they could have some fun with that if they wanted that.
John Holmberg
Because everybody's got an office weirdo. Every time you say it, you're like, we know who every guy in this room is thinking of the person when we say office weirdo without, you know, naming him.
Toledo
It's a great question.
John Holmberg
Greg Wilson.
Toledo
Yeah. Loves coping it up.
John Holmberg
He's cleaning the corners of the floor with his face.
Toledo
You know what's funny? I think Greg is here this week.
John Holmberg
Is he? Well, we'll bring him in outperforming at.
Toledo
Stir Crazy on Thursday. I think he's there the next day.
John Holmberg
All right, well, maybe. Depends on his behavior, right? Yeah.
Brady Bogen
And then he'll be at the chop house.
John Holmberg
Which one of the Eagles or Chiefs players, depending on who you ask, is more likely going to be notorious in this game for the play that ruins everything. Ooh. Asset of any team, either one.
Toledo
Ask them obviously, about the other team. Right.
John Holmberg
You're not going to say, yeah, who's going to wreck it for them?
Toledo
Who's going to wreck it for them?
John Holmberg
Yeah, you don't have anybody.
Toledo
And that I can tell you right now from my experience, you're not going to get.
John Holmberg
They're a quality team. You know, they're really. We just got to be mind our own business.
Brady Bogen
No one will give anyone a.
Toledo
And it's funny, cuz this whole thing becomes a Jedi mind trick. How to watch go around. Around them, their diplomacy.
John Holmberg
O.J. simpson said, you're going to win the game. Does that make you want to throw it? Hey, Twitter world, I got an idea. Eagles gonna win this game. Craig, he's not gonna win.
Toledo
And if I gotta be honest, you know what bothers me is that he's always right on everything.
John Holmberg
He's never wrong. Like, you watch me. Like, Jesus, he's making great points. Stop making great points.
Toledo
I feel like he's gonna snap.
John Holmberg
I got this old.
Toledo
What do you say about Roe versus Wade?
John Holmberg
I disagree.
Toledo
You know, this whole Roe versus Wade thing, I think they got this thing wrong. If I'm gonna be honest. I think women have the right to choose unless it comes down to who they date or what they wear. Fellas, you know what I'm talking about.
John Holmberg
I don't think you should be allowed to kill anything until it's like in its 30s.
Toledo
I guess comes down to I don't know where life begins, but I know where it ends. Have a good holiday. All right, I'm just, I'm just saying.
John Holmberg
I'm just saying.
Toledo
I'm just saying.
Brady Bogen
The last one, when the Bills were playing their final playoff game, his patio was decked out.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
For this big party. He's the only one there.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, he's the only one that'll be on camera. There's people behind camera like, I love OJ's parties, but I'm not gonna, I'm not going on camera.
Toledo
Probably hundreds of People on the other side of the camera having a party.
John Holmberg
And.
Toledo
That being said, any of you in this room this week, you're out at a restaurant.
John Holmberg
Yes. I'd be best friends with him in seconds. Absolutely.
Brett Vesely
Yes, absolutely.
Toledo
100 for the story. Yeah, you do it for the story.
John Holmberg
That's another question. And ask one of the running backs for either team, if OJ Simpson took you under his wing and gave you football advice and wanted to hang out, would you go meet with him now?
Toledo
I'm not trying to be a puss.
John Holmberg
You're being a puss.
Toledo
But these are the kind of questions, the OJ Questions, where someone could get.
John Holmberg
Quit talking about it. Yeah. Yes.
Brady Bogen
They know what you're doing.
Toledo
But I, I admire the question.
John Holmberg
It's a great question.
Toledo
It's a great question. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
OJ at the bar, screwdriver. What are you offering?
John Holmberg
It's a good one.
Toledo
OJ Says you're going to win the game. Do you throw it now?
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's. Does that make you kind of want to throw it?
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I like that. I like renting the Eagles fans and getting the smell. The office employee is a good one. You've got some gems here, Craig, if you get in tonight. That's how it works.
Toledo
I remember Russell Wilson, notoriously robotic.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Well, he's not human being.
Toledo
And I thought, I'm going to sneak in a joke, make him laugh.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Then when I get him to laugh, I'll throw in a question when he puts his guard down. And the, the, the thing that made him laugh was I said, russell, my name is Craig Gass. I'm a stand up comedian. Anyone who knows you knows that you're a man of faith. Am I right? And he said, absolutely. And I said, okay. Have you ever seen Cam Chancellor hit somebody so hard that you went, oh, my God, we got to pray for that guy. And he started laughing. And I go, all right. And Russell, who on the Seahawks most needs to go to church? And he went, I'm not touching that. Like, he thought about it for a second and said, I'm not touching.
Brady Bogen
He's got his list.
John Holmberg
He knows he's got his list. Yeah, it's a, it's a tough one because they're so cut and dry. And then they kind of want it to be fun, but then they take all the fun away. But we're gonna get you a few. We'll get you some more. If you have anything, we can farm over homework@98kupd.com and we can give them to Craig Gas as he wanders around this evening looking for people to annoy, which is what you're gonna do. What are your questions? You got all lined up?
Toledo
You got anything good about the Eagles fans is the focus. That's what I want the whole video because I want everybody video to be. A couple years ago, my. My focus was my birthday is always two weeks after the Super Bowl. I walked around to all the Rams and Patriots players and said, my birthday's in two weeks. How do I look like you in two weeks.
John Holmberg
That's pretty solid.
Toledo
And every. There was a guy from the Rams who said, pray to Jesus before. Before I even finish the question. But the best response was Rob Gronkowski, who looked at. And he went, oh. And he looked me up and down and he said, how long do you have? And I said. And I put the microphone in his face and I went, two weeks. And he goes, oh, wow, okay, like, off the top. Thousand burpees a day. And I go, what? And I put the mic back in his face. He goes, yeah, that thousand, like, for sure, 14,000 burpees should put you over the top. But, like, I'm gonna go from this to Gronk to Gronk in two weeks.
Brady Bogen
I think it's possible, bro.
John Holmberg
He probably believes it. Yeah. Yeah.
Toledo
A thousand burpees a day.
John Holmberg
That's hilarious. To start.
Toledo
To start to kick you off.
John Holmberg
That's the first thing.
Toledo
The first thing.
John Holmberg
You're not done. Your workout's not over. It's time for what would Brady do? As we work through these questions, it's brought to you by our friends at Mo Money Pond. MMP Guns right inside there. If you want to go down there and do like Brett did and build your own, they've got that whole system in place for you. Save some money doing that and learn a whole bunch about the gun you're actually getting. Learn how to clean it, learn how to handle it, Learn all of its mechanics. Easy enough. They're all certified and ready to go. Plus, they got all that great stuff inside their store, which is brand new and beautiful on 12th street in Indian School. Mo money pawn.com. brady, are you ready? Ready, Craig. You can help at any time. Dear Brady. Hair plugs and hair treatment. I'm 30, I'm balding fast, and I have a flat, weird bald head. Or spruce up the fiance's cans. Now, a recent. A friend of mine recently just had hair plugs put in.
Toledo
How do they look?
John Holmberg
About. Nothing's happening yet. About 15 grand. That's what.
Brady Bogen
Have you ever Seen a couple of new things available. There's a new gel that's.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Don't trust it if you're already bald. It doesn't work.
Brady Bogen
Chia spread. It grows your hair naturally.
John Holmberg
No, it doesn't. That's. You're watching too much late night tv.
Toledo
I. By asking this question that there may be a potential advertiser here at the station. But have you ever seen it work? Well.
John Holmberg
Not for people going from bald to something, but for people. Yeah.
Toledo
So thin hair.
John Holmberg
If they've got hair.
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And they. They fix it. Yeah, I've seen that work out.
Brady Bogen
Well, we have one guy that swears by the capulace. Wear that hat.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
You got to wear it twice a day.
John Holmberg
I think you do the red light hats. Yeah. And that's. That's proven therapy. But you keep hair healthy.
Brady Bogen
Healthy.
Toledo
What's going on in the cap? What, is there something in the cat?
John Holmberg
Red light therapy.
Brady Bogen
Red lights in there. So it works if you like, stimulate.
John Holmberg
Brett's got great hair. And if he, you know, if he wore that, his hair would be healthier. But if you're bald like Brady and me and you, it's there. You got nothing. Because that would be called a cure and there isn't one. Or do you get his fiance new cans? What would you do? You got a flat, weird bald head.
Brady Bogen
Well, how. How far along is he? Okay.
John Holmberg
As far as what?
Brady Bogen
Because pregnancy.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
With the hair loss. Like if it's completely gone. Because then that. That's a total change when you put that. Replacements.
Toledo
Which is the conversation. It's the conversation we're having right now. That. That if you're fully bald, it might be a waste of money.
John Holmberg
That's right.
Toledo
But if you're just thinning, starting to.
Brady Bogen
Thin now, you touch it up. If you're just starting to thin a little bit, then start showing. I would touch it up, but I don't think it'll run you 15 grand. The only hesitation on the fiance thing is if she get. Gets him before she's. You're married.
Toledo
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
You got to do it when you sayonara. No, no fiance.
Brady Bogen
You got to do it.
Toledo
You don't trust her.
Brady Bogen
Well, girls are.
Toledo
Man. Girls are.
John Holmberg
All of a sudden she's.
Brady Bogen
You're dropping that money on her.
Toledo
Everybody. Come on. Not with Devin Booker in town.
John Holmberg
No, I'm not doing it. Halloween, he's handing them out to everybody that shows up.
Toledo
Just a dirty slut. You know how women are.
John Holmberg
You're.
Brady Bogen
And you're plunking out the money early on, you're setting a precedence for what you're going to have for the rest of them.
John Holmberg
How about this? She pays for her own cans. You pay for your own hair. I don't hear her offering up money for your hair. So you pay for your hair, and if she wants to buy her own cans, she can do that. And I know that seems like a bad idea, but Brady's right. You never buy. You never send a woman to school, and you never buy your cans. Fact.
Brett Vesely
Well, you know what that broad's going to say? Well, you were going to enjoy him too, so you should kick in for a while.
John Holmberg
Well, then, what a Chicago. You know that broad, he's loaded with those. Yeah.
Toledo
Two hours in, he opens a smell.
John Holmberg
And goes, well, you know the broads are going to do.
Brady Bogen
And when you get in the age. Welcome to Brett Sour spoiled milk.
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
He says, yeah, it's great theory. He's like, men age like wine and women age like milk. She's expired. I'm not racist, but let me say something. Oh, if I was, that'd be hilarious. The. Yeah, don't. You don't do that, especially for a fiance. I don't even think you should buy your wife cans. I think in this day and age of all this equality and nonsense, you should not be the one responsible. And if you do, you get paperwork says you get one back, but every woman listening, you get a half.
Toledo
Every woman listening to this is thinking the same thing about the guy getting the hair treatment.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
What are you trying to look better for if you're engaged? Like, why not just personal stuff?
John Holmberg
I mean, you get the same thing with boobs. Here's the good point.
Brady Bogen
Then the difference would be like if. If you turn around, if you said, I. I'm thinking about getting my hair tweaked.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Getting a piece. And she says, I love your hair the way it's at.
John Holmberg
But it's not. Would you go to.
Brady Bogen
Would you get the hair done?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Because if his. If he's got.
Brady Bogen
If I had his hand, I think your hair looks great.
Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
The reason why I'm saying that, you can tell the woman that's like, I love your breasts. I think they're great right now. They're still.
John Holmberg
Come on. No woman believes that. Well, I know no woman believes that. Whatever you're saying, whatever you're saying, it's like you. And you don't believe it either. If you're saying, God, these. These are the best breasts ever. But if you want to add to them, it's like a house. It's like 3,000 square foot house you love, but you're like, somebody wants to think, throw on 1100 square feet.
Brett Vesely
Throwing in a game room.
John Holmberg
You're going to take that? Yeah, it is. It's. It's. You're going to be all for it. No, I don't care what your wife's boobs look like right now. If she said she wanted to make them bigger and a little bit stronger, you'd be like, yeah, that's okay. It's very tempting. But she should pay for that kick in half. Yeah, get one back. You got to be smart about this.
Toledo
I just love that the girl is going to look better and it's. Oh, man. But you know what happens when they look better, right?
John Holmberg
That's a good point too. Craig's making. If you put can in her and your big flat bald head's still hanging around a couple years, she's gonna look at you like, I can upgrade in a heartbeat over old rockhead here. Get your hair done. You got nothing else for the glutes. You've got a good bald head, don't you, Craig, under that hat? Yeah, it's round.
Toledo
Well, it's shaved. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Yeah.
John Holmberg
You don't have lumps or a flat.
Toledo
No.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I feel sorry for those guys that lose their hair and they've got lunky heads because.
Toledo
Weird shaped heads. Absolutely.
John Holmberg
Because my head is actually pretty good shape, which I'm fortunate because I have no hair.
Toledo
It's weird shape head guys listening to this right now going, oh, no.
John Holmberg
They know you can put an entire meal on it like a table. It's like flat on top and it's weird. Dear Brady, my wife decided she doesn't want to shave down there anymore. She's going old school. At first it was sort of fun, but let me tell you this. The men of the 70s evidently had zero sensitivity to smell because that hair holds everything. That fish video you guys have been talking about, by the way. Send it to me, Brett. I think it could have starred my wife. It was a lady in it, Harry. Anyway, I want to talk to her about it, but she's big on this thing. What do you suggest, Tyler?
Brady Bogen
Talk to her about it. Don't be afraid to.
John Holmberg
We'll get in the shower and scrub it up. Don't go down on her after hiking and a day at the house. Make sure she's showered up. Yeah. Put some prel in there. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Some Aussie hair salad.
John Holmberg
Maybe style it up if you're gonna.
Toledo
Have it make it work 100% right about the hair, that it retains the smell. Absolutely.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Because it's just soaking in all the pee drippings.
Toledo
Same thing with butt hair. Same thing with butt hair.
John Holmberg
Very true. If your wife has butt hair, kill yourself.
Brady Bogen
Accumulate part.
John Holmberg
My wife's butt hair, she lets go rogue. And I'm a little. No, you lost me at wife's butt hair. She should be man managing that. But if she decided to go with the full.
Brady Bogen
She's tired of it.
Toledo
You know, my wife Pele.
John Holmberg
Still has a hairy butt. I don't. I don't know if she's tired of it. She's just going for a new thing.
Brady Bogen
Yeah. She needs to save herself. It's.
John Holmberg
It's.
Brady Bogen
It's better to do it to groom it.
John Holmberg
Oh, you can groom it. You gotta wash it. And it's on him to not be so excited every time she gets all fired up.
Brady Bogen
Can't help myself.
John Holmberg
You get in the shower first because that thing stinks. Just tell her. She'd tell you.
Brett Vesely
But does that mean that she's not cleanly. I mean, she's. She's not keeping it clean.
John Holmberg
It means both of them are gross. Because she's willing to let him go down there without washing it. And he's willing to do it.
Brett Vesely
Well, we saw the trout lady.
John Holmberg
Exactly. So the two of them are discussed.
Brady Bogen
She was groomed.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, she was actually.
Toledo
And then make it a fun thing to family activities. Yeah, let's. Let's groom it together. I'll.
Brett Vesely
For the whole family.
John Holmberg
Yeah, let's get down there with the kids. Aussie hair salon.
Brady Bogen
Spice it up.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And we'll get some hair salad.
Toledo
Mom's bush is scary.
John Holmberg
We're gonna fix that today, Trevor.
Brady Bogen
Oh, good.
John Holmberg
You're right at eye height too. You can really eyeball the lines.
Brady Bogen
Get the head and shoulders in there and scrub it.
John Holmberg
Scrub it.
Toledo
God, mom, you really stink down there.
John Holmberg
This is a phrase that everyone. Woman shouldn't know. And it's the fact that she's like, go ahead. It starts pushing the top of your head down there.
Brady Bogen
Older. You might need some cell, some blue.
John Holmberg
Whatever you need. Ugh.
Brett Vesely
This guy said he would switch her body wash with a bottle of Nair.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's actually a good idea. I like that idea.
Toledo
Great line.
Brady Bogen
Teach that broad something.
John Holmberg
That's right. Anyway, keep it clean. You're both a couple of pigs. Thank. Shave it down there. Never. Who announces that? Well, you should shave. What's going on? I ain't doing that no more. Hygiene is now secondary.
Toledo
I Think she's announcing to let him know. I think she's. In her mind. She thinks. She thinks she's being respectful by making the announcement instead of just doing it. Not saying anything about. She's trying to let him know, like, hey, I'm just.
John Holmberg
I'm going to grow this thing out.
Toledo
I've decided I don't want to.
John Holmberg
I'm not going to wash it. And you're still going to do stuff.
Toledo
She's trying to communicate.
John Holmberg
It sounds like hillbilly communication.
Brady Bogen
Bad message.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
By scent.
John Holmberg
Yeah. She's announcing.
Brady Bogen
The Y is closed, man.
Brett Vesely
Thank God.
John Holmberg
So wash. Wash your wife's beef.
Brady Bogen
Yes.
John Holmberg
Dear Brady, my wife has asked me for a free pass for sex. You're gonna like this one. But there's a reason I have a physical condition that makes sex not at all work for me. Oh, no, not erectile disruption dysfunction. It's just my entire ability to have sex is nearly impossible. It's been 15 months since we've done anything. It's a problem for me in a huge way. I want her to be happy. She's a sexual woman. I can't do the oral thing because it's just frustrating. We've just stopped everything.
Toledo
Why is the oral thing. That's too many questions.
John Holmberg
Yes. I would assume it's frustrating because it has to stop there.
Toledo
Or maybe the frustrating is that she's not able to fit finish.
John Holmberg
Or maybe she's not excited about it because she knows.
Toledo
Yeah. Because she wants more than just that.
Brady Bogen
Maybe he lost his tongue in an accident.
John Holmberg
That could be too. That's very possible. She's hung on for dear life. And she's had a wish. No tongue. Your pelvis doesn't work anymore.
Toledo
Does she have a specific person that she wants to.
John Holmberg
I don't know yet. So she doesn't want to leave me. But she definitely wants sex. She's young, she's healthy. I can't stand the thought of her with another man. But I can't give her what she. She needs. I honestly haven't talked to anyone about this. What would Brady do? Wes.
Toledo
Dude, how great of a contest would this be for the morning show?
John Holmberg
Bang. Wes's life. Not a contest because we've already got a winner. Toledo no more. Yeah, I.
Brady Bogen
We've talked about it before. If that would ever, ever happen and to shut down, I. I would say I can't make you. I'd feel bad to feel like you have to be celibate the whole time or can't have any action. That's not Fair. I wouldn't ask that of anyone to do that on the other side either.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady Bogen
So I think you gotta, if. If you can stay together and have, like, an open marriage, which is tougher, or you gotta just let it go.
John Holmberg
Let her have at it. She doesn't leave you.
Toledo
Hey, ohmburn, it's yours truly.
John Holmberg
Hey, what's up?
Toledo
You know, I've been thinking a lot about what you guys are talking about with this gentleman, this listener. I love that you guys share these stories.
John Holmberg
What would you do to the wife who had this problem?
Toledo
Well, I don't understand why in situations like this where the woman is asking for something that you're not able to oblige with, why we don't just stab these bitches. And what's this?
John Holmberg
Listen, his name.
Toledo
What's his name?
John Holmberg
Wes? Wesley.
Toledo
Oh, Wesley. If you don't have any extra.
John Holmberg
I have extras. I'm just saying. All right, well, the advice from OJ is always good.
Brady Bogen
With OJ's final solution.
Toledo
I'm just saying.
John Holmberg
OJ's marital counseling. Always. I would just cut the head off. It's a solved problem.
Toledo
I've always found the best way to get a girl off is to scare them by threatening their life. They always get wet, if you know what I mean.
John Holmberg
Anyways, I'm just saying it was just a really bad period on Nicole's porch is what we're saying. Oh, yeah.
Toledo
She just, you know, she was just going through a tough time and, you know, you gotta settle your marital differences, you know?
John Holmberg
Yes.
Toledo
And if someone else gets involved, they gotta go, too. I'm just saying.
Brady Bogen
I'm just saying, I gotta get that guy.
John Holmberg
Do you think you couldn't do it? Your pelvis stops working for some reason, like you can't make the motions.
Brady Bogen
I'm not. I wouldn't ask my wife to stay with me through thick or thin on that.
John Holmberg
But if she says, I don't want to leave.
Brady Bogen
Still has those desires. But that would be a tough one. Yeah, I'd have to.
Toledo
Unbelievably tough one.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Hopefully I would. Could maybe adjust to it, but I don't think.
John Holmberg
Or she comes back, like, limping.
Brady Bogen
Exactly.
John Holmberg
Just.
Brady Bogen
Yeah, that'd be a tough one.
John Holmberg
Oh, just gas.
Toledo
Comes back limp. Yeah.
John Holmberg
You don't know. Oh, I'm so tired.
Brett Vesely
Was she hanging out with Lex Steel all weekend or what?
John Holmberg
All day? Oh, you know, we made a deal, remember? Oh, right, the dicks. How was it? And that was just very tired. That was just the backup.
Brady Bogen
I notice you have a lot of appointments, even the starters.
John Holmberg
I got to go to bed.
Brady Bogen
It's 5:30.
John Holmberg
I know. I got.
Toledo
Remember that girl? That girl that came out and said that she'd had sex with all the sons?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah.
Toledo
And she was like.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
And she named all the players and described as crazy.
John Holmberg
And then they got good and they're gonna bring her back. That was when they sucked. That was in the bubble season round, right? Yeah. She slept with all of them.
Toledo
And then they went eight.
John Holmberg
No. In the bubble and came back to the championship the next year.
Toledo
Yep.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I don't know. Brett, you would.
Toledo
What would.
John Holmberg
But would Brett do? This is always a good one. What would Brett do if your pelvis doesn't work no more? These broads, these buds.
Brett Vesely
Hang with myself.
John Holmberg
Would you just kill yourself? What's the point of going on? That's a good point. West Bret is suggested potential. That's why we play. What would Brady do? What are you gonna do? Your pelvis don't work. What are you still wandering my earth? Exactly.
Brady Bogen
Here's a rope.
Brett Vesely
What use are you now?
John Holmberg
Yeah, good point.
Toledo
Get it fixed, man.
John Holmberg
I don't know. What.
Brady Bogen
Well, you do whatever you can to try to get it fixed, but.
Toledo
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Sounds like I. You know, what if. What if it he has another year left of living. No, but like it's been 15 months and it takes facilitated Izzy though.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
Like he can't move it at all.
John Holmberg
Bedridden or what Function means like nothing works. Right.
Toledo
Got to be.
Brett Vesely
Maybe just so his cranks doesn't.
John Holmberg
I don't know. I don't want to get into it too much with him.
Brett Vesely
Cuz if that's the case, she can just jump up there and these are.
John Holmberg
Questions you should ask the Chiefs or Eagles tonight.
Toledo
Wesley can't bang his wife.
John Holmberg
Yeah. My friend Wesley cannot have sex physically anymore.
Toledo
Wesley, can you also send a phone number?
John Holmberg
Yeah. We'd like to talk to your wife a little bit about this and see what she's going through. Maybe take her to lunch and then.
Toledo
You know, give her a good railing.
John Holmberg
Fill her up with advice. Yeah. We want to rail your wife for you, Wesley. We'll do it.
Brady Bogen
We're good people, Honor.
John Holmberg
We love our listeners that much. We'll take the misery from you and we'll place it right inside. We'll just bury the pain in your wife. Oh God. You've been in the bathroom quite a while, hon. Yeah, Wes, it's. I'm just full. I gotta be honest.
Brady Bogen
You never did that when we were married.
Toledo
I just need to Lay down.
John Holmberg
You want to go to a movie movie or something? Can I borrow your wheelchair?
Brett Vesely
You have an ice pack?
Toledo
What do you mean you can't sit down?
John Holmberg
What does that mean?
Toledo
What's. What do you mean you can't sit down?
Brady Bogen
Just.
John Holmberg
Wesley, you don't understand. I mean this was. Have you been to Black Dot Com? Cuz I have.
Toledo
Oh no. What's on that website?
Brady Bogen
Honey, I need to talk to you about some of your searches.
John Holmberg
Yeah, she. He's. Sorry, Wesley. I feel bad. The guy's sitting home listening for the advice and we're like, wesley.
Toledo
Wesley's talking to his. Is it his wife or his fiance?
John Holmberg
His wife.
Toledo
His wife. Every once in a while she gets a text. She looks at her phone, just smiles.
John Holmberg
Oh, I'm.
Toledo
What was that?
John Holmberg
Gotta go. I gotta go. Do I wanna finish watching your errands? Your honor, the new ones out. No, no. I don't want to watch it anymore.
Toledo
I'll be back.
John Holmberg
I know.
Brady Bogen
Wheels on in an hour. Gonna be back.
John Holmberg
I know where you're going.
Toledo
She comes back. Let me just grab this shoehorn. What do you need the shoehorn.
John Holmberg
Are you cooking over at Carol's? What's with all the butter?
Brady Bogen
We're cooking the butter and the drill.
John Holmberg
What? We're making very hardware based cookies.
Toledo
Mixing.
John Holmberg
I know what you're doing. That's every day she leaves the house. Wes is gonna say that you're not going to Carol's. I know where you're going.
Toledo
What a horrible predicament.
John Holmberg
Have you been eating Little Debbie's? There's cream stuff all over.
Toledo
Look.
John Holmberg
Cream. Yes. I was cream pied. Oh, okay. That sounds delicious. Yes. Okay. Good night. Good night, Wesley. It's four in the afternoon. Good night, Wesley. I know where you've been.
Brady Bogen
Your nose is bleeding.
John Holmberg
Oh my God. Has it still got blood on it?
Toledo
It should be that door sound. Over and over and over again.
John Holmberg
It's six in the morning. Where are you going? I know where you're going.
Brady Bogen
Miserable baby.
Toledo
Brett's right.
John Holmberg
See? Someone spilled milk in the toilet again.
Toledo
I know what you're doing.
John Holmberg
I can't take it.
Toledo
That's a lifelong thing. If you're not gonna fix it on your own, that is a lifelong thing. And that's.
John Holmberg
This sound is gonna break your heart every time.
Toledo
Over and over and over.
John Holmberg
Wes, can I borrow 20 bucks for valet? I've gotta go park in an apartment. I know where. Yeah, here's my. Where you're going. Goodbye. Everybody gets to watch your honor uninterrupted. Which Is a good show.
Brady Bogen
Don't forget your birth control.
John Holmberg
My God. Yeah, it's pretty.
Toledo
Or Wesley.
John Holmberg
A hanger, Towels, butter. I. I know what you're going to do.
Toledo
Wesley is really looking for advice. He's just sitting next to his radio like puss and boots. Tears just welling up.
John Holmberg
Wesley, you just have to accept your role. And I think, Craig, you had the best advice. Just get that fixed.
Brady Bogen
Get it fixed.
Toledo
Figure out how to get it fixed.
John Holmberg
And then also the other word that comes up a lot in these situations is just acceptance. This is your situation. Make the most of it by recognizing you can't go any further than this. They'll get great at the oral thing.
Toledo
Be the greatest oral guy that ever lived.
Brady Bogen
Tough to carry. You want to please them, but you should do that.
John Holmberg
And if she's not pleased by it, just that. Try harder. Then hang yourself.
Toledo
But don't.
John Holmberg
Don't take Brett's advice until at least December. You got to put in a good 10 months. 10 months of like you really burying it down there.
Toledo
If there's a story of a mass shooting.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, no, look, he's gonna. This guy's shooting blanks. There's nothing about this guy shooting that. I scared us.
Brady Bogen
I can't even do that.
John Holmberg
I ain't afraid of anything. Wesley shooting, it's like it. Yeah. It just looked like his gun's throwing up a little bit.
Toledo
Holberg for three.
John Holmberg
Thank you. From downtown. There you go. That is what Brady did. It's 98. It's out of control.
Toledo
Now 98 can use CUPD.

Toledo
You got a new guy here. Talks about.
John Holmberg
Talks about broad this broad this. Broad.
Toledo
Broad. Tell you about this broad.
John Holmberg
I seen it. That's my favorite bread ism. I seen this guy. He's taking his sweetness. Broad. She must have done something terrible. It's like not protecting the broad.
Toledo
Like, what's an example of a story where his response would be, I seen it.
John Holmberg
Oh, geez. Like surprising. Like, if I said, there's a guy in the parking lot, thrown up. I've seen it.
Toledo
I see.
John Holmberg
Like he just attacks you with it. I seen it.
Brady Bogen
You'd be aggressive.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
Enemy. If you said, man, I love rap. Ragu.

Toledo
A lot of secrets, probably, but old school family secrets.
John Holmberg
Yes. We don't talk about.
Toledo
What's your point?
Brady Bogen
You writing a book.
Toledo
By the way, speaking of secrets, it's okay for me to reveal a big.
John Holmberg
Secret you already did. About Greg Wilson. So go ahead, what is it?
Toledo
I guess we could do it now, right?
John Holmberg
If you wanna.
Toledo
All right. I am going to be the new afternoon drive guy here at kupd.
John Holmberg
Is that right?
Toledo
I think we talked about it a few years ago and I haven't gotten a follow up.
John Holmberg
I think you were talking about being here with Fitz for a while.
Toledo
Yeah, I'm gonna be the new.
John Holmberg
No, no. Fitz is still here. And evidently didn't work out to put you on his show.
Toledo
It was three years ago when.
Brett Vesely
Still thinking about it.
Toledo
No. Trip said he's going to call me.
John Holmberg
Oh, still hasn't called you. The whole idea was to give a Fitz. Have a Fitz would have a partner.
Toledo
Right.
John Holmberg
And then everybody said nah. And then.
Toledo
Well, I haven't heard that.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Toledo
The last I heard. And that's why I'm announcing it now. Last I heard. Call you. Tripp's gonna call me. So it's been about three years, so. Yeah.
John Holmberg
So your new coworker.
Toledo
I am the new. I. I don't know how soon we're going to start again. It's been three years since the last call, but we left it on. I will call you back.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogen
You know what? Good that you held that secret.
John Holmberg
Will you hang on to that? I think he's got your number, so you hang on to that.
Toledo
All right. Yeah. Number's still the same.
John Holmberg
Okay, I will make that go.
Toledo
So.
John Holmberg
And I can't wait to see.
Toledo
Excited to see how this turns out.
John Holmberg
And if we do, we have to reassess our office weirdo policy. Oh, no. What's this?
Toledo
Oh, no.
John Holmberg
Oh, your light gloves are here, Brady.
Brady Bogen
For your.
Brett Vesely
Throw those things on quick.
John Holmberg
Brady's birthday was last week, and we play Brady Gras, where if he gets five questions right, we buy him what's on the Home Shopping Network.
Toledo
Okay.
John Holmberg
And he won a pair of light gloves, which are gloves that light up in the dark, that have flashlights for fingers.
Brett Vesely
He's gonna be raving this weekend.
Toledo
Now, what do you use these kind of gloves for?
John Holmberg
Well, they're not real bright, but evidently maneuvering through that lady's giant bush and that. What would Brady do?
Toledo
Email bright. I remember the first time I went to Brady's place, he took out a black light, I think it was, and showed me a scorpion. Crazy collection of baby scorpions.
John Holmberg
Yeah. It wasn't a collection, I hope.
Toledo
No. Well, it was just. Just.
John Holmberg
It's on the wall, right?
Toledo
Yeah. Outside.
John Holmberg
It wouldn't surprise me if Brady is collecting them.
Toledo
Wow. This is kind of like a finger glove.
John Holmberg
Oh, look at that.
Toledo
Fingers.
John Holmberg
Oh, you're like the emperor from.
Toledo
Oh, this is. It's the Avengers.
Brady Bogen
They are, but not real bright.
Brett Vesely
Was there, like, different levels of brightness? What are you doing?
John Holmberg
Yeah, don't be a dick. Happy birthday. Let's not assess your prize right now.
Toledo
Happy birthday.
John Holmberg
Thank you.
Brady Bogen
Thank you.
John Holmberg
We've already got barbecue sauce on him. How'd you do that? How did. He's had them for a minute.
Toledo
Oh, there they are.
Brady Bogen
There's one. Oh, they're both. They're in there.
John Holmberg
We'll get them at night. It'll work better without so much light. It's time now for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by my friends@reactdefense.com the whole of tactical black self defense. You should come with me today, Craig, and do some fighting out there. Get out to the self defense.
Toledo
Scares me that, you know.
John Holmberg
It'd be great fun. We'll head on out there and we'll do that. They've got a women's self defense course coming up. April 21, as far as I know as a Friday. And I haven't spoken to them since. That was close to selling out. It might be sold out now. 99 bucks for anybody who wants to do that. And it's three hours. You'll come out a different human being and then they've got theirs. You will. Oh, my God. It's crazy. You got to see this. These ladies go in there and they're like, all right, what do we do? And they train them for an hour, then they put them in scenarios and these women turn into monsters, just fighting machines. And it's just their confidence level boosts and just, just the basics. It's a crash course in what they get every day. If they went to react defense on a regular basis. And then they've got their gun safety course coming up April 28th. Check it all out at their website, reactdefense.com all the details there, get your CCW stuff, all the paperwork, licensing and all that comes from the safety course. And they can help you get to the, the end line there, which is awesome. Not to mention the great workouts and all the stuff you learn once you start heading there all the time. Just like I'm going to do later today. Check it out. Reactdefense.com the home of tactical Black Brady Entertainment.
Brady Bogen
Disgraced former British glam rocker Gary Glitter was released from prison on Friday. Last Friday. Well, it's know that serving half of his 16 year sentence for pedophilia. This one was for sexual offenses involving three teenage girls.
John Holmberg
You know pedophilia? I learned this, I'm this many years old when I learned this is a, it has to be like under the age of six.
Toledo
Okay. So he was everything else.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Is underage, sexual, blah blah, blah, whatever. Assault or rape or whatever. So yeah, so he's with teenagers. So it's not pedophilia.
Toledo
Interesting. I didn't know that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I didn't.
Toledo
I had always thought it was pedophilia like that underage, underage.
John Holmberg
So did I.
Toledo
You like, I thought, I thought children. Yeah. So it was, it was.
John Holmberg
I think I'm right. I may be wrong on the number, but I think it's like age six or younger.
Toledo
Okay.
John Holmberg
It might be even older. But pedophile. Yeah, pedophiles are very young kids. And then once you get to a certain level, you're a, you're a child molester.
Toledo
Okay.
John Holmberg
Sexual assault comes with all those charges.
Brady Bogen
Gary Glitter, he was arrested in October of 2012 as part of Operation Ted Nugent. You tree.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady Bogen
Which was a national investigation launched in the wake of the child abuse scandal surrounding a late BBC entertainer, Jimmy Seville.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that dude.
Toledo
And for those who don't know, that was like the Mr. Rogers of England. Turned out that he had lots and lots of relationships with children.
John Holmberg
Kids.
Toledo
And also had files of child porn. Right.
John Holmberg
Yeah. If you could imagine Mr. Rogers having Johnny Carson's audience.
Toledo
Yes.
John Holmberg
Because he was that big. He was huge.
Toledo
Yep.
John Holmberg
And he had open doors everywhere. 34. He was friends with Prince Charles. Like, he'd hang out with the. With the Roy. Not that they're, you know, on the up and up, but.
Brady Bogen
I didn't know this about glitter. He spent two months in a British jail for possession of child pornography in 1999. He also was sent to prison in Vietnam in 2006, during his time in the country from molesting two girls ages 11 and 12.
John Holmberg
Still a cool song.
Brett Vesely
Do you want to touch it too? It's real appropriate for him.
John Holmberg
I didn't know. Do you want to touch with Gary Cliff.
Toledo
I always associate this with Joe Chad.
John Holmberg
Yeah, so did I. That was his song. She just took it. I'm learning that right now, too.
Brett Vesely
All the stuff we're learning today.
John Holmberg
So it says here, pedophile is prepubescent. Yes. So that's just. Yeah. And then there's hebophile attracted to pubescent kids and an ephebophile, which is an individual attracted to post pubescent.
Brady Bogen
So he's a heap of technology.
John Holmberg
He's a. He would be a hebo file. Yeah. I had no idea this was Gary Blair.
Toledo
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
I thought Joan Jackson covered it. What hits did she have on her own? She gets so much credit for being a pioneer that girls covered everything.
Brett Vesely
Crimson and Clover was a cover.
John Holmberg
All of it was. Was a cover.
Brady Bogen
I love rock and roll. Was that hers?
Toledo
That was Weird Al Yankovic.
John Holmberg
That's true. Wow. Well, there you go. You know what else I learned this week? And that what Luke Air Force Base was named after was. I forget the guy's first name, but he was a World War I balloon killer. He had 10 balloon pops.
Brett Vesely
We needed him this week.
John Holmberg
I know. So that's why the code for shooting the balloo down was. The. The. The code names for the planes were Luke 1, Luke 2, or something like that, because they named him after this guy who we named the Air Force base after. He had 10 confirmed balloon drops in the war over, you know, dropping German balloons. Isn't that cool?
Brady Bogen
Arnold Schwarzenegger crashed into a woman riding a bike yesterday, but it wasn't his fault. She's gonna be okay. Arnold even took her bike to the local shop to get it fixed.
John Holmberg
That's nice.
Brady Bogen
She wasn't going that fast, but I.
John Holmberg
Ran over the woman. I didn't know what she was doing, but just like my shoulders, the car took up too much room in the road. Did she get in the way? Yeah. You know Broads. This broad, she rides a bike like a crazy person. Come on. Like everybody knew where the Chinese balloon was going. You were all over the map. Where you going?
Toledo
I. I'm going to hear you.
John Holmberg
Like.
Toledo
Arnold Schwarzenegger with a dry head.
John Holmberg
Arnold Schwarzenegger dry. He's. You can send me the fish video.
Toledo
I'm with Wesley's wife.
John Holmberg
Give me something. Get to tell you something. Why don't you shave that thing? Hello. Come on. You can smell it in the other room. Craig, I got to tell you, I got a competition coming up. The only way to get in shape for is to be bulimic.
Toledo
I have to make weight for the fight.
John Holmberg
Arnold Schwarzenegger is dry.
Toledo
Eve.
John Holmberg
Look out. Earth Smith's terrible in here.
Toledo
This is going to be a staple of the new KUPT afternoon show.
John Holmberg
Let's checking with Arnold. He's in the bathroom. What's going on? Arnold? How are you? Isn't that good? Don't do it. You doing it makes me want to do it.
Toledo
Is that your dog?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Now you make me sick again. Every time you do it. I'm doing it. Passion. Like it. We're adults. We're adult men. We're adult human beings. Doing that.
Toledo
Hey, look, it's Wesley's wife.
John Holmberg
Once you become a real man, Wesley. And get up out of your chair and do it with your wife before she goes out and finds a good man like me. Except for I can look at her. Yeah.
Toledo
Five Finger Death Punch. You desist this loop.
John Holmberg
That's off the air. Their conversations. But to recap, we do Five Finger Death Punch. Uses vomit. Is lube. We have it confirmed. Yeah.
Toledo
From a local girl.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Or some dummy in Texas.
John Holmberg
Man. Yeah. No, he doesn't know. I bet you that wasn't part of the wedding story. I bet you that somebody didn't stand up at the wedding and said like to give a toast. I remember the time I used lube. You puke is lube to have sex with you. But now you're getting married to a decent human being.
Toledo
You're getting married to an angel.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Don't ask about her, pal. The impression is getting worse.
John Holmberg
Much worse. Well, it's sicker much time. I don't. I don't feel good. Cohen, get me a bucket.
Toledo
It's coming out to both ends.
John Holmberg
I think it was food poisoning. Is an hour of fun for me. Here we go. Get out of the crosswalk. And then the hurry. Why is it so funny to me? Driving on the road? It's the greatest position of all time.
Toledo
Technically, I'm a heebie.
John Holmberg
GB Fire. Make it stop. Ready? Move on. Do something new or we'll Never end it.
Brady Bogen
Disturb 36 Date to take back your life tour. And it'll be here at the. Where is it?
John Holmberg
They're in July, aren't they?
Brady Bogen
Didn't we already announce July 22nd at the pavilion?
John Holmberg
He announced Dave was on with us. Draymond mentioned that.
Toledo
I remember the day you see Draymond's post yesterday. He said, I share everything in my life, so it's important that I share. My wife and I are getting divorced.
John Holmberg
Is that right?
Toledo
Yes.
John Holmberg
Draymond's done.
Toledo
Draymond and Lena, look out, ladies from.
John Holmberg
The east, west, the best store ever. What was that? I was at backstage at the Disturbed show. We're all kind of hanging around the VIP section, and these girls go wandering off onto the Disturbed bus. They come out dizzy, like Wesley's wife. They come out wandering around all dizzy. And Draiman comes out a few seconds later and just looks. Just surveys the room and just points at one girl and points at another. And they get up out of their chairs like they're under a hypnotic thing and just start walking towards the bus. He hadn't been done with the last two for more than 10 minutes. For you, you, you. And he brings him back and they go in the bus 20 minutes later, one comes out in a bikini top and jean shorts. She's wandering around.
Brady Bogen
Must kill Nordberg.
John Holmberg
It was insane.
Toledo
Wow, what a great.
John Holmberg
And I told him that story years ago. And he's like, well, my wife's in the room, like, oh, you can't talk about that at all.
Brady Bogen
It didn't happen.
John Holmberg
She was evidently the one running the phoners for the radio station, so she's on the other line listening to that whole thing. Oh, well, my wife lives listening to that story. I'm like, oh, well, tell her. I said, hey. So hopefully I had nothing to do with that.
Toledo
He said it in front of his wife once when we were having lunch. He said, you remember the old days when I used to be the hunter?
John Holmberg
Oh, that's a great.
Toledo
And I was like. And I looked at his wife and I went.
John Holmberg
I mean.
Toledo
And I was the one getting uncomfortable. Like, I mean, I guess. I don't know. Are you okay with this?
John Holmberg
You marry the lead singer of Disturbed?
Toledo
Yeah, they had a great relationship. That kind. That bums me out. They seem to have a good thing going. You know, we went to a Rick Springfield show together in Honolulu.
John Holmberg
That would be fun.
Toledo
Yeah. Is he. I said, you want to go to Rick's? He goes, my wife loves Rick. Hold on, honey. Would you like. Yeah.
Brady Bogen
And that was it. That's what did it.
John Holmberg
Yeah. We're getting divorced, and she's going to marry Rick Springfield. Nice job.
Toledo
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
It's the way it works.
Toledo
Is that great when you accidentally ask for not realizing their significance? Other.
John Holmberg
Yeah. No, I. And I was like, well, how am I supposed to know? We're on the phone.
Toledo
That's my Mark Gray story.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's right.
Toledo
I was backstage at a concert, and a friend of mine told me all these crazy stories about when Mark was single. That. And this was an old roommate of Mark Grace's.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Toledo
Who told me a series.
John Holmberg
You stole stuff from that house?
Toledo
Yeah, his roommate gave me his stuff.
John Holmberg
Not according to Mark Grace.
Toledo
His roommate.
John Holmberg

John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Toledo
Okay. And I'm talking about.
John Holmberg
That's right.
Toledo
I'm talking about the Cubs on the air and off the air, he goes, are you really a Cubs fan? Are you just trying to kiss our ass because you're in Chicago? I go, no, I love the Cubs. And he goes, you know who my roommate is? Mark Grace. Why don't you come by the house? I'll get you some stuff. And I was like, all right, cool. I go to his house a few days later, and he goes, oh, hey, so come on upstairs. Let me take you to Mark's room. And we go into Mark's. Grace's bedroom. He opens up his closet and goes, mark's on the road. He probably won't miss any of this.
John Holmberg
I just started taking things.
Toledo
Jerseys, smoking glove. I got the Gold Glove jacket. What? I have his Blackhawks jersey.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. Didn't we try to return it to him?
Toledo
Well, you outed me about it.
John Holmberg
How did you.
Toledo
You're telling the story, but you called him out.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we told him we knew where his stuff was. That's a good human being.
Toledo
But it wasn't me. Like, I didn't go into his house to take it. His roommate said, take Mark won't misses and gave me some of his Chicago Cubs travel.
