[Larry]

The Brady's Morning cup song.

[Brady]

How about Good night, everybody?

[Larry]

That's it. Arizona's real rock. Natty Akupd Brady's Morning cup this morning. This morning.

[Dick]

Yeah, it is.

[Larry]

I gave.

[Dick]

I gave Suno a little too much information on that one.

[Larry]

That was cool, though. I liked it. What do you guys think of the bagels?

[Brett Vesely]

Amazing.

[Larry]

Yeah, that's a good bagel, Larry. You guys aren't just saying that? No, no, no, it's good.

[Dick]

You like my bagel, Larry?

[Larry]

All right, thanks. I was baking yesterday, thinking I put plenty of love in it. Put plenty of love.

[Dick]

Hey, hey, no problem.

[Brett Vesely]

John never brings us bagels.

[Larry]

It's true. John's probably like gonna be a little upset that I had some bagels here and he didn't get any.

[Dick]

He'd be. He'd be happy with anything at this point after his week. Yeah, any. Anything to change his routine.

[Larry]

Poor guy. I did plenty of exercising this weekend and in his honor. In his honor. I mean, I just. I was thinking, because I was thinking to myself, you know, going on walks and stuff. And I was thinking like, here's a guy that is like so active. I mean, so active. Basketball, boxing, you know, like he's constantly going self defense, you know, everything that he does and he is stuck. He's just stuck there. And I would send these little texts like, life's still sucking for you. Yep, Yep.

[Dick]

I asked him yesterday. I'm like, I use the colloquial we. I'm like, hey, how we feeling?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Dick]

Meh.

[Larry]

Yep.

[Dick]

Like the ad that's going out right now.

[Larry]

Meh. And that is so not John. To get those right types of responses from him. I mean, usually you get something silly

[Dick]

or one word responses are rare from him.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, Like I was talking about earlier off here, I'm like, what kind of drugs you on, man? You didn't give me any. Because there's no pain it's just he has to keep his head down.

[Dick]

That's no pain.

[Brady]

Just.

[Dick]

Just red in his vision when blue. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

That picture he showed us is like.

[Larry]

It's funny. You and I did the same thing. Yeah, the exact same thing. I'm like, what kind of drugs did you get?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, exactly what you get, man.

[Larry]

Tell me about the pills. Nope, nothing.

[Brady]

It's one thing when you go home and you're like, I. I look forward to not doing anything now.

[Announcer]

You just.

[Brady]

You don't have that choice. You literally have to do nothing.

[Larry]

Right. You're stuck.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Larry]

It's got something about both, like a massage table where he's sticking his face through, and then he's got, like, something set up on the couch where there's, like, a pillow that he hangs his head over.

[Dick]

Yeah. That he can kind of lean on a little bit is what he kind of was saying.

[Larry]

And I guess he was also doing the wrong drops, too. Like, he was. I guess he has, like two sets of drops. And he was.

[Dick]

One was antibiotic.

[Larry]

Right.

[Dick]

And the other one is like a cleaning or just a moisturizing one or something like that. And so he was using those without getting the antibiotics in.

[Larry]

Right.

[Dick]

And if he got an infection in his eye, it's game over.

[Larry]

Right. And so I guess on Friday, he had hit up the doctor and was like, I made a mistake. Oops. And the doctor was like, this happens all the time. Don't worry about it. Just as long as it's not infected. Does it feel infected? No. So hopefully it's not everybody on text.

[Dick]

No. He's not fired.

[Larry]

No.

[Dick]

Larry, be honest. You let him go.

[Larry]

Yeah. That was the next big.

[Brett Vesely]

We got a few of those emails over the week.

[Larry]

Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Really? Yes. How about that should have been Larry.

[Brady]

Well, you hear about other people in the industry.

[Larry]

You hear so and so.

[Dick]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

Just talked about one this morning for sure.

[Larry]

Yeah. And some of the texts that I. That I saw, some of the comments on the photos that we're posting online on social media, you're seeing. Didn't ask for this.

[Brett Vesely]

You know.

[Larry]

You know, you should. You should have just played Best of.

[Dick]

That's just.

[Larry]

Should have just been Best of.

[Byron]

Not.

[Dick]

Ralphie Wiggin, Mosul Simpson's character.

[Larry]

Worst show ever. You should have just played Best of.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, we talked.

[Larry]

Did you have to do that because of the Nine Inch Nails promo code contest? You should have just made it a best of.

[Brett Vesely]

We talk about that all the time, though. Some people are just gonna to. Because, I mean, you know, we could say we have Metallica for. For you, and it's gonna be a Mesa Amphithe, small venue.

[Larry]

Oh, you should have Slayer.

[Brett Vesely]

You know, I mean, like.

[Larry]

All right. You guys don't have the balls to put Slayer. Yeah, there's.

[Brady]

There's one or two that do that. Do that on purpose, though.

[Larry]

Oh, yeah.

[Dick]

Oh, there's definitely some trollers, but there's also just some unhappy effing people right out there that continue. Thank you for listening. Because you listen to us religiously.

[Larry]

Yep. But then there was something I saw where somebody said, I miss the days when it was just John and Brady alone. It's never been that way alone.

[Brett Vesely]

Not since day one.

[Larry]

Yeah. Right. In fact, most people don't realize that it was John and Brady and a girl that were on the.

[Dick]

People ask me for those shows all the time, and they don't exist unless you guys have them somewhere on.

[Larry]

What was her name?

[Brady]

I think.

[Larry]

Wow. How about that? That you remember. And then we had Bo Duran.

[Brady]

Yep.

[Larry]

Boda.

[Dick]

And that's. I told you last week when I was playing a bunch of bow stuff. Is that what you guys used to call Brady? Bo, Like Bogan? Like, yes.

[Announcer]

Third.

[Dick]

He's a third person.

[Brett Vesely]

Right.

[Brady]

And Bo was kind of the news guy, right?

[Dick]

He was doing promo. Wasn't he doing, like, promo? He was doing Mark Randall's job for a little bit.

[Larry]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And then he let. God let go. One of those situations. One of those situations should have been Larry 20, 23 years ago. It should have been him. Anyways, what should we do for a Wake up song today? You got any ideas?

[Brett Vesely]

I'm putting it together now.

[Brady]

Brett's got an idea.

[Brett Vesely]

Stretch. I'm putting. I'm putting it together.

[Larry]

Stretch.

[Dick]

Putting the list together. So.

[Brady]

Stretch.

[Larry]

Stretch. Well, I'll tell you something else that we were talking about last week off the air, and that was Brady's big fat wedding. Now, that would have been 2006.

[Brady]

June 6th, 2006.

[Larry]

So.

[Brady]

Wow.

[Larry]

So we're talking 20 years. Yeah.

[Dick]

Oh, yeah.

[Larry]

Yep. How about that? Congratulations on 20 years coming up. So the thing that was interesting to me is, you know, looking back at the photos and stuff, it was seether. This was at the celebrity Theater. Yep. Seether. Static X. The band Signs of Betrayal. That's the one.

[Dick]

I always forget. I always. Because I knew we had a third band, and I forgot we. We had the local guys do it,

[Brady]

and they technically were the ones that played, you know, the entrance music, and they're kind of the house Band.

[Larry]

That's right. That's right. That's right. And I don't remember much about Signs of Betrayal. The only thing that I remember about the band is there was a guy in the band named Skittles. It's the only reason. The only thing that I remember about that band is there was a guy in the band named Skittles.

[Dick]

Skittles was a drummer, wasn't he?

[Larry]

I don't. I don't remember. I just remember his name was Skittles because I like Skittles. Sorry, boys.

[Dick]

Yeah, memory slips me.

[Larry]

Up.

[Announcer]

Bloomberg's morning sickness.

[Brady]

And Wayne objected to the wedding.

[Larry]

Yes, that's right. Wayne Static got up.

[Brady]

I mean, we asked him to do that, and it's. I mean, he could have easily just said no.

[Larry]

Much fun. That was so cool. And you're the parents made the cake, right? Carson's bakery made the cake. And it was a beautiful cake. I have all these photos. I went through the photos over the weekend. In fact, I've got something else that we can play a little bit later on. We made a video that we played up on the large screens there at the celebrity theater. You guys had asked all of your comedian friends for marital advice. And so we put together this big compilation of this video. And I put, you know, back in the day. I don't even remember what. I was probably using imovie back in the day and piecing together all these different clips of marital device, marital advice from these different comedians. And put it to, like, some tool music or something, Whatever Album came out in 2006.

[Announcer]

Right.

[Dick]

Whatever one was then.

[Larry]

And I've got that video. I pulled it over the weekend, and I've got the video. I'm gonna post the video. I'm also gonna play the audio this morning. But just seeing Frank Caliendo, you were mentioning Joe Rogan.

[Dick]

I forgot that was Joe Rogan.

[Larry]

Rogan. Chelsea handler, Norm MacDonald.

[Brady]

Harlan Williams.

[Larry]

Harlan Williams. Like, big names, really big names. The Joe Rogan thing blew me away when I saw him on there. I was like, oh, my God. We had Joe Rogan before he was Joe Rogan. Holy crap.

[Brady]

It was Fear Factor Rogan.

[Larry]

It was Fear Factor Rogan. It definitely was. And. And Caliendo, he just looks so good now. I mean, he really was heavy back then. I mean, I don't there any other

[Dick]

late comedians besides Norm in that video.

[Larry]

Bob Saget.

[Dick]

Bob Saget.

[Larry]

Bob Saget's in there too. So, yeah, we'll. We'll play that a little bit later on. It's good stuff. You know today is National Tootsie Roll Day. Yep. You do.

[Brady]

Come on.

[Larry]

Yeah, you already have that.

[Brett Vesely]

Seriously.

[Brady]

Welcome to the morning.

[Brett Vesely]

I won't give you all the bouncing ball.

[Larry]

I won't give you all the trivia. Sorry. Excuse me.

[Promo Announcer]

Brady's Morning.

[Larry]

You know what? This is over. I bet you didn't have this.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, if it's food related, I'll guarantee you does.

[Brady]

No, you.

[Dick]

You came.

[Announcer]

I sure did.

[Brady]

What'd you bring, ladies and gentlemen?

[Larry]

I brought a whole bag of Tootsie Rolls because I wanted to be the first to fill Brady's Honey pot.

[Brett Vesely]

There.

[Byron]

Nice.

[Announcer]

Oh, yeah.

[Larry]

There you go.

[Brady]

So you know what? Now I'm curious. I want to hear some of this trivia.

[Larry]

Oh, okay.

[Brett Vesely]

You don't have it.

[Brady]

Fun facts. No, no, no.

[Larry]

I'm surprised. Yesterday.

[Dick]

He just says the day of.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Dick]

What day it is.

[Larry]

Today is National Tootsie Roll Day. And Leo Hirschfield.

[Brady]

Leo Hirschfield, he created a guy, he's a good one.

[Larry]

In 1896. And named it after his five year old daughter, Clara, whom he affectionately called Tootsie.

[Byron]

That was a ringtone.

[Brett Vesely]

Larry's playing sound effects behind it.

[Brady]

That's heaven. That's what that is.

[Larry]

The Tootsie's falling in. It was marketed as the first individually wrapped penny candy that wouldn't melt in summer heat. Over 64 million Tootsie Rolls are produced daily. During World War II, Tootsie Rolls were included in GI rations because they provided quick energy and could withstand diverse climates. And again today, on National Tootsie Roll Day, it will be added as the first candy to be filled in Brady's hunger.

[Brett Vesely]

Wow.

[Larry]

Yeah. Is that enough?

[Brady]

They tumbled in there gloriously.

[Dick]

And no, that's not a euphemism. He actually has a honey pot.

[Larry]

Yes, he has the honey pot here that Holmberg gave him. And I was thinking to myself, we need to fill that thing.

[Dick]

How many fillings have been lost to

[Larry]

Tootsie Rolls over the year that it didn't say?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Larry]

But again.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, another crown. Here we go.

[Larry]

Yep.

[Dick]

Oh, it popped off, unfortunately.

[Larry]

Was that enough of a stretch for you?

[Announcer]

Stretch.

[Brett Vesely]

Good.

[Dick]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Wake up. So long time. Brought to you by who, Larry? Because I was gone last week. I don't know.
