[E]

Well, it's an honor to be a part, Larry.

[A]

Yeah, well, you know, so basically what happened here, we all know that John Holmberg is out. We all know that there's some kind of an eye thing going on. Well, we.

[C]

We.

[A]

Yeah, us three got the text on Sunday.

[B]

Yeah. I'm in the hospital at 11:53pm Yeah, I was in bed already.

[A]

And it was a torn retina.

[E]

Almost.

[A]

Or detached.

[E]

Almost.

[B]

Almost fully detached is what he told us.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So he said he was working out Friday, worked out again Sunday or Saturday, and Sunday worked out a little too hard. Had a migraine on Friday in here. And apparently the migraine was the first, you know, indicator that something was going on. So Sunday, as he's heading home, he realizes he can't see out of his right eye. So he goes 90%.

[A]

90%.

[B]

90% vision loss. And he said that, you know, he could see that it was clouding up and it. And it looked like he had like a red tinge on. So his eye was bleeding. So that's what he was seeing. He was seeing his own blood.

[A]

So he's had the surgery.

[B]

Had surgery Monday, I think at 4:30. I know he had one. I'm not sure if he had two or not, but because they were scheduling him at noon for the first surgery and then he had one at 4:30. So I'm not sure if they moved

[E]

him along to that. But yeah.

[B]

And apparently this is common. We got like a ton of email from. People are like, yep, abnormal me. They put a gas bubble behind your ear or your eye. You gotta lay flat.

[D]

Right.

[A]

And so that's what he's doing right now. He's laying flat.

[E]

Yep.

[A]

And miserable.

[D]

Yes. Yeah.

[A]

Because I was texting with him last night. He's like, I am stir crazy.

[E]

Yeah. Poor guy coming up with ways to murder people. So why all that downtime? He's like thinking and plotting and.

[A]

So why is this happening? Why is Larry on the.

[E]

Oh, Larry gets a hold of AI dj.

[A]

He is the worst on this station. There's the boss.

[B]

He's taking over.

[A]

I told Larry not to do it, but he still did. He still. He wanted to come in.

[B]

If Jim told you not to do it, you wouldn't be here.

[A]

That's true, actually. You're right. So here we are. It's McFeely's morning sickness for this morning. And the reason why I wanted to come in was because I thought this thing was really important that we're doing with the gas this morning. Brett is over at Circle K. It's Val Vista and Jermaine. He's going to be there 7 to 9 o' clock with Law Tigers. They are giving away free gas to motorcycle riders. I know everybody's like, free gas. I'm going no to motorcycle riders. This is the Law Tigers. They're showing their appreciation to riders with free fuel from 7 to 9am while supplies last. It's the Law Tigers rider appreciation fuel up event powered by Circle K. And every rider will get a free tank of Circle K fuel while supplies last. Never at. Also got your Nine Inch Nails tickets out there. You can sign up to win Nine Inch Nails tickets, Black Label Society tickets, which by the way, we are still doing this Suite that Feeds contest.

[E]

I gotta, I enjoyed your jingle.

[A]

Oh, thank you.

[E]

I appreciate that. Brett Veasly.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

Really good.

[A]

He's awesome. And Dick Toledo is pretty, pretty fantastic too.

[E]

So it's amazing what that can do.

[A]

Yeah. Thank you, Suno.

[B]

Well, we've been, we're gonna have to have separate categories. People keep emailing me about Palladio. We'll have a, oh yeah, an AI side and then like a real band side because people are like, how are you gonna get people to play? And I'm like, well, I guess it'll be them and their computer. Yeah, them and Suno.

[A]

Yeah. Which I, I, I, I, I have to imagine some of them this past year had to have been sooner.

[B]

I Don't know what they were using. But the. The one gal that. That's saying she's. She's very good, but when she couldn't sing it herself.

[A]

DJ Bathsheba.

[B]

Yep.

[E]

And she was great.

[D]

She.

[A]

She really does have a great voice.

[B]

She does have a great voice, but there is a lot to that. She got a lot of help from. From AI Tools.

[A]

And then the other one that we loved so much. I forget the name of the song. We were all raving about it. It was like an industrial song.

[B]

Yes. And that came from Brett Crandall.

[A]

And was that the same thing? Was that because they had made it from Jump?

[B]

He admitted it from Jump.

[E]

People keep asking about that Marilyn Manson song. Like, you guys should keep playing that. Can I get that from you?

[A]

Get it on YouTube. It's on YouTube.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It is pretty good. I mean, I wasn't like, you know, I thought it was great, but I wasn't like, wow, this is the best thing I have ever heard from Marilyn Manson. If it really was Marilyn Manson. But it was pretty cool.

[E]

It was refreshing.

[A]

It was refreshing. It was like jumping into a Marilyn Manson pond.

[B]

It opens up a whole new question, too. If it was Marilyn Manson, like, if they. If they took his voice and had it regenerated by AI, does he have any recourse? And then putting it out there?

[A]

Because.

[B]

Because they labeled it Marilyn Manson.

[D]

Right.

[A]

And so, like, where's the copyright with that? Like, can you just say this is the new Marilyn Manson when it's really not?

[B]

Because, I mean, we use.

[E]

I'm suing you for this really good song.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That everybody loves.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

We used AI a year ago to clone Dale Brady Brett's voice to do Christmas jingles. And it's gotten so much better.

[A]

So much better. Because I remember the stuff that you were playing with the Christmas jingles was

[E]

like, it couldn't carry a note.

[D]

Right.

[A]

I mean, like, long.

[B]

Because I had to use. The only real dry stuff I had was their commercial reads and then Dale being on the air. So it wasn't. Wasn't like, you know, singing voice.

[A]

Right, right, right, right.

[B]

It was.

[E]

And then you added inflections, like, whether it's stuttering or something. It would kind of freak out on that a little bit.

[B]

Yeah, it would. It would get ahead of itself and do the digital stuttering.

[A]

And you've heard what they did with. I mean, you. Holmberg played his thing the other week.

[E]

The.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Homer governed.

[B]

And that was the two of you putting that together.

[A]

Yeah. Well, I mean, putting nothing together. I Mean, all we did was upload the song to Suno and then and say, do a remix of this.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And it was done. Incredible. Again, right now, you are texting the word. Or actually, sorry, not texting. You are entering the code word terrible into the 98K UPDF for your shot at that suite that feeds the Nine Inch Nail Show, March 6th at the Desert Diamond Arena. Should we do some commercials?

[E]

Yes.

[A]

Get that out of the way. McFeely's morning sickness. You know, you guys have been so nice. You've been so kind, but it's almost like people have been overly worried about Holmberg. Like, you're in our thoughts. You're in our prayers. We know you're in the hospital right now, which is really sweet. It's really nice. But he's not dying.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Even still, I had chatgpt write an obituary for. Holy.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

It's nice. It's a really flattering one, too.

[B]

We'll.

[A]

We'll read that a little bit later. It's McFeely's morning sickness today. Get ready.

[A]

A brutal battle.

[E]

And this is where the Navajo Code Talkers.

[A]

That's right.

[E]

To save the day.

[A]

That's right. That's right.

[E]

If it wasn't for them, it would have been a mess.

[A]

Yeah. What was that movie again?

[B]

Wind Talkers. Code Talker.

[A]

Wind Talkers, I think something like that. Yeah.

[E]

The one with Nick Cage.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

Baby girl

[E]

got a couple of basis fun facts. There are roughly 2 billion parking spots across America. That's seven spaces for every car covering an area about the size of West Virginia.

[A]

Wow.

[E]

The folds in a chef's hat can signify their level of experience.

[A]

Okay, so like a notch.

[E]

According to legend, the origins Date back to when a chef would have a hundred pleats in their hat which would signify the hundred ways they knew how to prepare eggs.

[A]

What, each notch?

[E]

Each notch.

[A]

Each notch says, like, I know how to do eggs this way, that way.

[E]

Yep.

[A]

So, like, how many notchers really could there be?

[E]

The world record for the longest wedding veil.

[A]

We're done with that conversation. That's over.

[E]

So the world record for the longest wedding veil.

[A]

Yes, please. Go ahead.

[E]

23,000ft.

[A]

There we go. We got a four miles long. Wow, that's a lot of notches, but up there.

[B]

This is what I think about with chef's hat, because. Do you guys remember the restaurant Sambo's? I don't know if you had them down here. Highly racist restaurant.

[D]

What?

[A]

Yeah, Sambo's.

[B]

Sambo, yeah.

[E]

Delicious.

[B]

And all the. All the cooks at Sambo's used to wear those kind of stove pipes. White chef hats. Wow, that one has a lot of pleats.

[A]

It sure does. That's a lot of way to make eggs, that one.

[B]

Or this is the classic one, I guess.

[A]

Oh, that's cute. I like that. That's a cute hat, that one. It's fluffy like an egg.

[B]

I don't know where you're supposed to put your own pleats in it, though.

[E]

Did Sambos. Was it bought out? Did it turn into Denny's?

[B]

Oh, that. I don't know. That. I don't know.

[E]

I don't know either.

[B]

Sambos was. It was.

[E]

I know.

[B]

Highly racist. Yeah, The. The decor and the paintings on the inside were all, you know.

[A]

Don't say it.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Really? Yeah, yeah. Why do I not.

[B]

Tigers running around, chasing them and everything.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

So inappropriate.

[B]

Yeah. Google it. Right now. It's Sambo's restaurant.

[A]

Google it. I want to see this thing.

[B]

So you didn't have them down here?

[A]

I guess not. I mean. Or we did and I was just too young. I don't know.

[E]

I think they're mostly south.

[B]

They had them in Montana, though.

[A]

Sambo's restaurant.

[E]

There's the tiger.

[B]

Yep, that's the tiger.

[A]

Okay. Nothing racist about that.

[B]

Let me see if I can get some of the paintings on the inside.

[A]

Inside of Sambo. I mean, it doesn't.

[B]

Look, there it is. That's. That's some of the imagery that I remember. There you go.

[A]

Okay. All right.

[E]

Yeah, That's a kid's coloring book.

[A]

That's kind of inappropriate.

[E]

On the menu items, they had a picture, the menu there.

[B]

Oh, there it is.

[E]

Wonder if they listed some of the

[A]

stuff that they the items.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

What are some of the items?

[B]

So here's. Here's Instagram.

[A]

1980s. I can't read what that says from breakfast for A$82.

[E]

See, it was a lot like Denny's.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It was a lot like Denny. You're right there. Yeah.

[A]

Run into Sambo, cuz it had everything.

[B]

It had breakfast, lunch, dinner.

[A]

How about that?

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Look at that. I'd rather have the Ranch house Grill, though, personally.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Just giving them a shout out. Ranch House Grill.

[E]

You're hungry. Yeah.

[B]

Larry needs some chicken fingers.

[A]

There you go. I'm going to talk about the Ranch House Grill like Holmberg talks about the rah rah room.

[B]

That's your rah rah.

[A]

That's my rah rah room. Headed down to the ranch house girl. Port of subs. Porta subs is my rah rah room. Keep going, Brady.

[E]

Jaguars are named after the native American word jaguar. Jaguar, which means he who kills with one leap.

[A]

Ooh.

[B]

Always amazes me how much. How much meaning they can get into one word.

[A]

Yeah. Wonder if they were thinking about that with the car, too, too.

[B]

The jaguar.

[A]

The jaguar

[E]

leaps and bounds. We got a. We got a. A debate going on right now.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

Over bathing. The proper way to do it.

[A]

Oh, I thought it was like yes or no.

[E]

In a poll, people are asked, what do you do first? Do you wash your face, then wash your hair and put conditioner in? Or you put the conditioner, shampoo, rinse, then wash your face.

[A]

I go for the crack immediately.

[E]

A poll of 8,000Americans. 14%. 14% said they are giving up something this year, but they're saying it's the other way around. That you basically shampoo first in condition.

[B]

Well, yeah. That's the way you're supposed to do it, isn't it?

[E]

Because if you do that afterwards, they're saying potentially can clog pores that you leave the conditioner into.

[A]

Actually mix that. I. I go for the chest first.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then reach around for the crack.

[B]

But you're not using conditioner and shampoo.

[A]

No, no, no, no. With the soap. Yeah, of course. What about you, Brady?

[E]

I basically, I don't even shampoo and condition.

[A]

You got nothing there.

[E]

All soap.

[A]

All soap.

[E]

Yep.

[A]

All right.

[B]

You soap on the dome?

[E]

I do.

[B]

Like bar soap or like liquid soap. Body wash or whatever.

[E]

Body wash? Yep.

[A]

Can't dry that out. You don't want to be too dry and flake.

[E]

It seems to work out all right. I mean, my skin is soft, Supple.

[B]

Yes. You have a Good skin care routine.

[A]

We'll have to check here in a little bit. I'll give your head couple a good rub. Yuck. Sorry.

[E]

Ash Wednesday was yesterday.

[A]

Sure was.

[E]

So, poll of 8,000Americans found that 14% say they're giving something up for Lent this year.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

It's about one in seven people.

[A]

And what did you give up for Lent?

[E]

I. I'm not one of those people.

[A]

All right.

[E]

70% said they aren't. I guess I'm in that category.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I miss that angel. We used to be the only one in the building. Yeah, that would get that.

[A]

You got something on your forehead there. Yeah, I think you forgot to use the soap.

[E]

But if I'm gonna give something up, it's gonna be a Wendy's Bacon Angel.

[B]

No, it's not. No, it's not.

[A]

I thought you already gave that up. It's all done.

[E]

I did? Yeah.

[B]

You might give up the Frosty, but you're not giving it up.

[E]

Speaking of Frosties and shakes, tell me all about it. I went in to try to get a shamrock shake yesterday. Yesterday?

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Because they rolled out on Tuesday.

[B]

Yeah. Not really.

[E]

Laughed at you.

[A]

They laughed at you.

[E]

Machines broke. Imagine that.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

Of course. Which is the excuse they said it was.

[E]

They said they're done with that. Those days are over.

[A]

Sure. Until it breaks.

[B]

That company, Taylor has the. Has a monopoly contract.

[E]

Yeah, and they broke out. Had to take him to court.

[B]

Larry, people are texting in that there used to be sambos all over the valley.

[A]

I don't know Bell Road and Cave

[B]

Creek, 43rd and Thomas. There was one. I mean, I must have been like rural and Baseline.

[A]

I must have been three.

[E]

How did you miss a sambo's?

[B]

Rural and Baseline is right near you. I don't know if that building.

[A]

Not when I was growing up. I mean, I grew up at Central and Bethany.

[E]

He was knee deep in baked goods growing up.

[A]

That's right over there at Karsha's Bakery.

[E]

Mmm.

[A]

Miss those days.

[B]

Main street, just west of Mesa Drive. Man, there were sambos all over.

[E]

Apparently, he was getting his ice cream at Ferals in the Zoo.

[B]

Is that the ice cream spot?

[E]

Oh, you went to Mary Coyle.

[A]

No, we did Swenson's Swensons.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Swensons was where we went. Delicious. You get a nice little hamburger meal, and Sunday afterwards, it was awesome.

[E]

Brad Reese, the grandson of Reese's, the inventor, HB Reese, said days ago, basically, he's complaining that the classic formula that they're using to make Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They've changed it.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

He said the Hershey company is replacing milk chocolate with compound coatings and peanut butter with peanut butter style creams.

[A]

That's not good, right? That can't be a good.

[E]

Hershey company responded by saying, that is incorrect. We're using the same recipe. The only thing that has changed is that we've had different figures. Figurines. Like, the traditional cup is one thing, but when they create, like, the Easter bunny or they do Santa chocolates.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Or they make them as trees.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

There's too much peanut butter in those. In my taste.

[A]

I got my daughter for Valentine's Day one of those big hearts.

[B]

Excuse me. Say that phrase again.

[A]

I got my daughter for Valentine's Day a big heart.

[E]

With peanut butter or just straight up chocolate?

[A]

No, it's the Reese's heart.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah. She chopped it up into a whole bunch of pieces.

[B]

It's one Reese's in a giant heart.

[E]

That's what I'm saying. It's got peanut butter in it. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

It's good. So we kind of show shared that together. My daughter, who's almost 21 years old, and I'm still getting her Valentine's gifts.

[E]

Big court case was decided. The US District judge decided Buffalo Wild wings can continue to call BWW boneless chicken on the menu.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

Rather, this guy took him to court saying, these are chicken nuggets. You can't call them boneless chicken. Okay. And the judge basically says, all right, you presented not enough evidence to say I can't cook. They can't call it boneless chicken because

[B]

that's what it is. Right?

[A]

Yeah. Which is always weird, too, by the way. Any. Anytime you get one of the. There's something funny about that. No matter where you go, if it's boneless, it just. It's not as good as with the bones. Doesn't seem to be, at least for me. I don't know about you, Brady, I'm a bottle sky. Really?

[B]

I am, too.

[A]

Seems like there's, like, always, like, little fat chunks in it and just, like, weird.

[B]

In the. Boneless.

[A]

In the boneless. Yes.

[E]

You're not getting good nugs.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You're not getting.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I'm getting my nugs in the wrong spot. Say that again.

[E]

The first video that was uploaded to YouTube is now going to a museum.

[A]

How's that

[B]

right?

[E]

The first video was uploaded on April 23rd. What year was that? 2006.

[A]

And if I'm correct, YouTube originally. Wasn't YouTube a dating service? What?

[E]

I think that was the design of an original.

[A]

The design of it. Originally, I believe YouTube was a dating service that they turned into what it is now.

[E]

It's 19 seconds long. It's titled Me at the Zoo. It shows this 25 year old CO founder, Jawed Kareem at the San Diego Zoo.

[A]

I thought you're gonna say, like, maybe at Sambo's.

[E]

It's been viewed 382 million times on YouTube with 18 million likes. You're right.

[B]

Now, the original slogan of YouTube was tune in, hook up.

[A]

Yep, yep. I thought I remembered something like that.

[E]

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has acquired and reconstructed early YouTube, the YouTube web page. And so that's the home of it now.

[B]

By the way, YouTube can drink now on Valentine's Day at turn 21.

[A]

Oh, how about that? 21 years old. Like my daughter, I'm gonna put her in a museum.

[E]

Did you have her first drink with her?

[A]

You know, we, we've. I've kind of done that already. Because when we go to San Diego, like, I'll usually pick up a bottle of wine, you know, and at the end of the day, I'll pour a glass of wine and then like, for her, I'll just kind of do like a little splash in the glass and be like, hey, you know, cheers.

[E]

No Midori Sour together.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

All right.

[A]

Oh, no, Larry, don't say it. That is my favorite drink. No, Trip. Trip hates it when we go out together. And which never happens.

[E]

But she got that glowing green.

[A]

Because I got that glowing green drink. And I absolutely love Midori Sours. And yes, shared one with my daughter. I think we, we had one on Christmas. I think we had one together New Year's Eve.

[B]

Oh, it's funny, we took the plink when we took the boys to Asia. Both of them are underage, but they could drink. And like, Cambodia has no drinking age. So they were taking full advantage.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And In Japan, it's 21, but it's considered rude for the Japanese to card you.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So to question your age.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

So they just, just, they just don't.

[A]

And so what were they? Was it rum?

[E]

They just lose their liquor license.

[B]

Alex was drinking like hurricanes. Like, they were drinking mixed drinks. Like, because in the happy hour in Cambodia, it was like two for one and they were three bucks. So they were getting two drinks for three bucks poolside. And they were taking full advantage.

[A]

Did they just get sloshed or what?

[B]

Chris got a little hammered.

[A]

Yeah. It was all of a sudden walking all funny. What about curbs?

[E]

She Hangs out at the Tempe Tavern.

[D]

Oh, cool.

[A]

Hold on. Good to hear. A lot of her friends. Awesome.

[B]

She hasn't had anything. You haven't even, like, tipped back a

[E]

little bit with her? I don't think so. She hasn't. She don't even drink soda.

[B]

That was Chris for a while, too. He still doesn't really love soda.

[A]

My daughter doesn't drink soda either. Not at all. Water only.

[B]

It's a weird thing with the generation.

[A]

Yep.

[E]

You know what? John would love this conversation.

[A]

Oh, yeah. He's at home. Shut up. Shut up already. It's for.
