Hey, it's Brett Vesely, and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?
Byron
Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P
Brady
Guns where he'll get a fair offer
Byron
and he can rest easy knowing it's
Brady
not getting into the wrong hands.
Brett Vesely
Okay, but what if he lives out of state?
Byron
Easy.
Brett Vesely
Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it online. It really that simple? There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

Brady
Years.
Brett Vesely
10,000 five star reviews can't be wrong. Liftedtrucks.com work hard, play hard, drive harder. You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.
Byron
What the hell is wrong with you?
Brett Vesely
Yeah, thank you. These are the types of emails I'm looking forward to when we actually do announce what is a great thing. It's gonna be awesome. Dinner. Porkopolis. Free Brady sauce for a year. You win a Porkopolis. We're going to give you the keys to a Porkopolis and see if you can do it. See if you can make it work. Front row tickets to Dandar.
Brady
You start sign already?
Brett Vesely
Is the sign still there?
Brady
Still up there?
Brett Vesely
It is, yeah.
Brady
Glows at night.
Brett Vesely
Well, it's the light.
Brady
Not during the day.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, I wouldn't do that. That's what they're called. Lights.
Brady
We can't see it during the day.
Brett Vesely
Where's the sign at the.
Brady
The 202 Arizona Avenue.
Brett Vesely
Oh, and that big monument has all the stuff inside of it or tells you what. All the stores in there.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
They didn't change Porkopolis out. No, it's still there. You drive by and you look at it, you know. You bastards. It's been years now.
Brady
Oh, yeah.
Brett Vesely
And they still haven't climbed that ladder. And it's the.
Brady
It's been eight years because everything in
Brett Vesely
that center has changed into some Indian bazaar. Kevin and the crew haven't changed their restaurant. Bhakwani.
Brady
Yeah, I think that's how.
Brett Vesely
And it still says Porkopolis on the thing.
Brady
No, it. It just on the. Yeah, on the. On the big.
Brett Vesely
That's what I'm talking about. And that's the announcement of everything in the center.
Brady
Airstream. And then this. Just a white square when it's lit up. It's the.
Brett Vesely
The Airstream. The trailer place.
Brady
Yep.
Brett Vesely
They sell trailers at that place.
Brady
Airstream.
Brett Vesely
The old Sam's Club.
Brady
Sam's Club.
Brett Vesely
Oh, that's not a Sam's Club anymore. Oh, geez. Everything shut down over there. I don't know about that. Holy cow.
Brady
Patel Brothers. Grocery store.
Brett Vesely
They're doing all right. Have you eaten there since you went into the old Porkopolis and ate that garbage? Yeah, that foreign nonsense. What kind of America. I'm taking your gold medal away. You really went in to Halal Meats,
Brady
Curious to see what they did?
Brett Vesely
Curious, Yeah. I can tell you by the sign. It's terrible. There's too many K's in it. Too much curry. There's a K's and H's next to each other.
Brady
No. K's and H. What is it? Well, there isn't.
Brett Vesely
There's an H. There's always an H. There's probably a G or an L next to it. Doesn't make any sense. Lhasa Apso meals. I'm not eating there. K's and H's next to each other. I'm out.
Brady
How was it?
Brett Vesely
Terrible. I'll answer for him. I know that. But he'll tell you it's not bad. No, he. No, he's still trying to get a free meal. Lamb and.
Brady
And Singapore noodles there.
Brett Vesely
Made by Indians.
Brady
Yeah, it's a.
Brett Vesely
You're an idiot. This is a terrible. There's not a fusion. It's just. What do you want? And they made you some ramen. He don't know.
Byron
Don't know.
Brett Vesely
This is part of our culture. You eat this. This is like top ramen.
Byron
It's halakalam.
Brett Vesely
How do you spell that?
Byron
K, H, K, H, L, K, H,
Brett Vesely
K, H, L, L, L. Whatever.
Brady
The foot noodles were. They were good.
Brett Vesely
You're insane. I'd have wandered back in there out of curiosity. Having owned Porkopolis. I'd wander back in and going, what color green did they paint this? Because I'm pretty sure there's like green and some gold letters that I don't know what they are. And then like pictures of the World Trade center and people dancing. That's my guess. That's what I'm a throw out there as a guess of the rebuild inside. And then they serve you. How dare you. How dare you serve Asian noodles with whatever Pakistani place they've got going on.
Brady
Yeah, you're right about terrible. It's not a world map. They got a United States and then like fire. There are other restaurants around there and
Brett Vesely
bullseyes, like where they're located.
Brady
It's like Rocky Dennis's map.
Brett Vesely
And no, no, the Bullseyes is where this conversation ends. They put bullseyes over cities and then fire over a few of them with the dancing people in the skirts. I don't play that game. I'm not going to any kh. KHKH Stores are out. I'm out. Does it still look the same inside or they change it up. Okay, it. And I don't care how much you try to convince me.
Brady
Something closed off the kitchen though.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, they did. I don't want you to see that. That's where their plans hatch. So their plans are hatched and some dude just sitting there on the ground with a pot and dirty hands scrubbing up bomb making materials and noodles for the. We have a customer. For what? He wants food. What? We make bombs here.
Byron
They don't know that though.
Brett Vesely
They see this is a cover, my friend.
Brady
I had to wait for my table. They hand me a cell phone. We'll call you when you're up.
Brett Vesely
Hello, welcome to Kalahala. Can I help you?
Brady
Yeah, I see that you got a
Brett Vesely
lot of bolts on here. Yes, we're bomb making facility. Are you an idiot? Leave your pager at the door. Well, I don't want to be a racist, but I would have never guessed. Then you are an idiot. That's what we do is trap them to ourselves. Do not watch the news.
Brady
The delivery Toyota truck is out there.
Brett Vesely
The 50 cal of burritos. I'm not eating in that. And he went in and you had a meal.
Brady
You want to sit outside with sandbags?
Brett Vesely
Yeah. Did you tell everybody like in there, this used to be my playground? I did you start singing that Madonna
Byron
used to be my playground.
Brett Vesely
We have A very large woman who is upset singing Madonna and our. We don't know why. And I think he wants food. Like we have to actually make food for him. This will be our first cult customer. And I don't understand what. Okay, I will go handle all our problems.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
We didn't have. This wall used to be this.
Byron
This wall used to be.
Brett Vesely
Thank you, Brett.
Byron
This wall used to be.
Brett Vesely
I gotta stay in character while I giggle. This used to be red and it said Porkopolis. Now it's just a map of the United States with bullseyes on it and little fires in New York. That's neat.
Byron
That's neat.
Brett Vesely
Must be. It must be electricians and stuff. And they know how to. How come there's a bullseye in San Antonio? We must destroy the fats.
Byron
This used to be my playground.
Brett Vesely
What is wrong with you, Lady, I'm a boy. This used to be my friend.
Brady
The tabletops are all stacked on the computer towers.
Byron
This used to be the place I ran to.
Brett Vesely
Do you want to order noodles or not? Hide down there. Yeah. This was where I used to stand and do nothing. Called it the hostess stand. Know what to do?
Brady
I'm going there today.
Brett Vesely
I used to stand with a bartender. I hired a black guy to be the bartender. He couldn't make drinks, but I hired him anyways. Now he's my slave at home. He cleans my house on Thursdays.
Brady
Rodney, yesterday.
Byron
Yesterday. Hello, Rodney.
Brady
Great job.
Brett Vesely
He used to be a bartender at the Porkopolis. We don't have bar.
Byron
No alcohol.
Brady
That's right.
Brett Vesely
Oh, doesn't like that, does he?
Byron
I don't like it either.
Brett Vesely
I'm feeling. Anyway, you guys were really specific about the dancing people around Manhattan. Could you explain that? Yes. When the towers went down, we celebrated greatly. We lost 19 good men that day.
Brady
They're up on the wall.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, they're in the bathroom.
Brady
Employees of the month.
Brett Vesely
Yes. We tell you exactly what they are. Employees of all time. They're hall of fame. They have a Porkopolis Forever card. You went in there and ain't at a place with too many K's and H's you're immor on. Brady will drive up anywhere that just says cuisine. You try to convince me that something called pho isn't a joke against us. People like Brady go wandering in there. What's that taste like?
Byron
Oh, you going to have la far. Oh, what on a f. A fat? Lady, I'm a boy.
Brett Vesely
I would love to film Brady walking around and you do that thing where he's just looking up and the camera spins. It spins around you like carousels around you. You just look like you're lost in it. We gotta go today. Yeah. It's almost worth it. It's almost film. Well, I'm not going with you. Well, hire just a film. Max will do it. You're an idiot. Can't believe you set foot back in there. It was bad enough to eat at Porkopolis. You went back into the worst part. Towards the end there, it's like, oh, it's just lonesome. And now you just too. You guys seem to make food with hammers and drills. My kitchen sounds busy. You're making bombs, you moron. What is this here on the menu? It says hang glider lessons. Yes, it's a feature for just today. Okay, I'll take two hang glider lessons. And you can call it bigoted, but that's what their food is, and I'll never eat it. Adverse morning sickness. Maniad. KUPD. Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from AMCO. Wayne, it's Tax time. You filed and your refunds burn in
Brady
a hole in your pocket.
Byron
That's right, Larry. Before you book a trip or buy something shiny, please remember your car. Tax time's the best time to take care of all the car repairs you've been putting off.
Brett Vesely
Sure, because nothing kills a tax refund buzz faster than a surprise car breakdown. I'll say.
Byron
If your car's been acting up, now's the time to handle it.
Brett Vesely
Should we wait for our refund before getting repairs?
Byron
No way. Amco payment plans let you get repairs now and pay when you get your check.
Brett Vesely
Google Amco for your nearest location. That's amco double A MCO transmissions and a whole lot more homebrew. Bloomberg's morning sickness. And not a thing you're doing about it is changing your life. People are forcing radio shows down your throat, and evidently, cake. And you can't sleep because your legs run away from you. I would, too.
Brady
Shut your mouth. I've been staring at the floor for five days.
Brett Vesely
You know how intolerable your personality is? Your legs are trying to run away from you at night. Oh, it's just awful.
Byron
They just move it all about.
Brett Vesely
Well, stop it.
Brady
Ah.
Brett Vesely
I can't control my body. That sounds like you should go get like a shot. Donovan said if she's getting divorced, he'll go hogging with her. See, there's guys out there that like you, Rachel, despite your grotesque size and your horrible attitude. I'll subject Donovan on you. Donovan's a big boy too. He's like 6, 7. I think he's a big one. There's a military. He's a veteran, damn it. Do you mean Veteran like the 19 gentlemen that we celebrate every 911 at Brady's old restaurant? Yes, a veteran. Veterans Day, 9 11, come down, eat free. Terrorists kids eat free. They blow up so fast.
Brady
Don't use app,
Brett Vesely
don't use up. Don't bring in beeper. We know the Jews are doing beeper. Anyway, Rachel, thanks for your letter. Now kindly go yourself into no sleep for the rest of your life. The good news about Rachel is she's not going to get a lot of sleep and that usually leads to like an early death. And I'm fine with that. Goodbye, Rachel. Thanks for sitting up all night long and penning me that nice email. I stress I put on 50. You put on 50 pounds because a restless leg. If your legs were restless, you'd be getting exercise at night. Well, she was up already. She went for doordash to show up at 2am she's getting her steps in while she's laying down that little red mobile too. It's a good thing you got restless leg syndrome or you'd have put on a hundred pounds. Yeah, how come the do you count your steps from the bedroom to the door to pick up your DoorDash? Order 11. That's a record. Rachel. Leave me alone.
Brady
Emily who used to work here had that little pedal thing at her desk.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, because she was trying to lose weight. She wasn't. She was. She's working and it worked. She looked great. Yeah, she wasn't complaining that she had to do it because her legs.
Brady
But I'm saying you got that leg that's churning.
Brett Vesely
You know, she didn't. Rachel doesn't need that. She's pedaling all the time anyway with her made up disease.
Brady
It's butter or ice cream with that thing.
Brett Vesely
Somewhere along the line, yeah, definitely got the butter churn. Oh, she'll make butter. Bad news is nobody else will get me.
Byron
I made more butter.
Brett Vesely
Well, where is it? Oh, I'm sorry, it's gone already.
Byron
I'm Rachel the pig. I ate it all.
Brett Vesely
Oh, you're gonna churn more? Probably. You turn cream into butter with your crazy legs and you managed to put weight on. How you doing this? Somewhere in like the 80s, some woman at a postino said my legs don't like they move around at night. That's a good thing. That means your spine's connected. No, no, I don't like it. And then another lady said, me too. And it became a thing. It was never a thing. If my grandma was kicking around in bed, Alvar would have smacked her and said knock it off, and it would have stopped.
Brady
Duct tape would have been involved.
Brett Vesely
She'd have been strapped into some sort of weird bed in a facility. She's nuts. They just said she's crazy and put her away like the Kennedys used to do their kick. Ladies, more emails, please. Please keep them coming. It's crazy. It says, here's what happened on Thursday in restless leg. Uh oh, am I gonna read this? Yeah, Sean Rockefeller. That's different one, but the blind. Oh, this is from Carl says. Does she have a spastic colon too? Some dudes stick around. If she gives up the brown eye, even if the legs are flailing around like a. Like a marionette. I'm reading with one eye. It's not easy. Oh, Rockefeller's right here. I got him. And he. The blind guy. John, you'd have restless legs too if you were forced to swim around all day and perform tricks at Sea World. Yeah, I think that's restless back Fin. Not in the mood for you, Rachel. I want to make an example of you. There's a real easy way to ignore that. And much like your made up disease, you can just not email me and. And act like it doesn't exist. But you gotta play along, don't you? You had to get your two cents in. Cause you're big and you're annoyed with your own life. And somehow that's my fault in a weird way for thinking your restless leg syndrome is a made up. A disastrous made up thing. A lot of people says that Rachel needs a call. Dr. Rico Blaze for this. Oh no, of course. Brett's ready for that. Hey, Rachel. How you doing, baby? Get them legs flailing around like a pinwheel in the wind. Don't worry about it. I'll find a wet spot in that big fat pile. That's my expertise. Nothing I like more than a lady trying to get away. But she runs out of gas real fast cause she's so fat. I can't see that. Brady. I got one eye. Give me that. I got myself a restless leg too. It's between my two good legs and baby, it needs a nap and a fat dent like a barren winter. It wants to hibernate in your cave, girl. Goodwin Brady. Restless third leg is funny. It's restless all the time. Wakes me up in the middle of the night like.
Byron
Well, I'm trying to get some Sleep.
Brett Vesely
And you keep popping up. That's all right. What was my name on Instagram again? I always forget. Sir Nuts. Sir Nut. That's right. Sir Nut. How are we not in the top 13 of the radio show? Just kind of garbage. Anyway? Don't worry about it, Rachel. If you can prop yourself up and tear yourself away from a refrigerator, get them restless legs running over to my house. I'll butter the door and you can slip right in. Get you a fat, restless ass over here, girl, before your heart stops. Ain't going to. Ain't going to last long without any sleep. And all that extra weight you're carrying around. You got hypertension. I guarantee your blood pressure is 300 over 300. You know what I like? When Rachel gets on the scale. It doesn't give a number. It just says call Rico.
Brady
That's a mic drop.
Brett Vesely
That might be a mic drop. Now put that jimmy hat on my restless leg and let's get to work. I don't want to get your fat ass pregnant. No one will know. Probably just fall out your big ass in the kitchen. You shoot across the room when you're running your marathon in your sleep. Restless leg syndrome. Shut up. Goddamn restless leg. I'm gonna call the police. Oh, Rico's gonna be there. Baby. Get him out of here. Go away. That's right. Just call me, baby. Call me. My phone number is your blood pressure 308? 777. Anyway. Restless leg syndrome sounds like more like restless turkey leg syndrome. She's fat and we hate her. It's okay. Hol's morning sickness.
Brady
Couple of bases. Fun facts. About 700 grapes go into a bottle of wine. It's around 3 pounds.
Brett Vesely
700 per bottle?
Brady
Yep.
Brett Vesely
Wow.
Brady
An estimated 80% of American men are circumcised. But the rates vary widely from country to country. 99.9% in Morocco are cut. Yep. Similarity. Similarity.
Brett Vesely
Similarly. Do it.
Brady
The no.
Brett Vesely
No do it.
Brady
And similar.
Brett Vesely
Huh?
Brady
And similarly.
Brett Vesely
No.
Brady
They're high rates of muscle.
Brett Vesely
He's not gonna do it. Hurdles too hard.
Brady
And similarly.
Brett Vesely
It's a thing you're getting is now. Now. I don't know what's right now. It all sounds great. Crazy.
Brady
But most Muslim majority countries are 90, 92% cut. Cut. The flip side. Europe are the most not circumcised. It's almost less than 20%.
Brett Vesely
You know what's weird? I was this. I was thinking about this when the Muslims and the Jews and all that while I was down face down in that couch for a week. Your God and their God both hate pigs, like, a lot. Why did he invent pigs? Like, the Muslims hate pigs. They're gross dirty. Yeah, they invented a Rachel's. And then your God hates pigs. It's really weird that pigs got such a raw deal in the whole biblical
Brady
thing, but I don't know.
Byron
They hate pigs.
Brady
Here's a question, and I don't know the answer. Both of them, I don't know how accessible pigs were.
Brett Vesely
They were in the Bible a lot. Like, don't touch those. And then Spain.
Brady
I remember. You know, there's a story where the pigs go over the cliff. He sure cast a demon into the pigs.
Brett Vesely
I know they hate pigs both sides. And we could unite over there.
Byron
Oh, no, there we go.
Brett Vesely
I had to wait for the eight seconds after. See what I'm doing to make sure that they all got the delay and people aren't looking at their clocks going, shut up. Here it is now, the announcement that's being made nationwide right now, and some of you have guessed it, is that the greatest rock band that that's alive still performing and killing it is Metallica. Now you're like, oh, I've seen Metallica before. They are performing at Sphere Las Vegas for select date September 24th to October 24th. And the show is called Metallica Life Burns Fast. So they have tickets going on sale here, Pre Sales on March 3rd. You can go to 98kupd.com check that out. Good luck with that. Good luck with that. Because already there were rumors that this thing was going to be three grand a ticket. Not necessarily face value, but yeah, it's going to sell out. Yeah, like it's going to sell out. So here's what we got. And this was just for us, which is so cool. And thanks to Q Prime. Aaron, my God. Metallica disappear to the Sphere contest. Metallica's playing Sphere in Vegas. And we're going to send you not to the first show, but to the first two shows. Man, you get two of these. This is thousands of dollars in tickets to the Sphere in Vegas. We're going to put you up in a hotel and you get $200 in fuel so I can get there. Too many of you have felonies and too much stuff. We can't get you on airplanes, so we wanted to get you up there. Yeah, there's way too many F4s. We're getting too many barriers and legal things to jump over. Each hour, I'm going to give you a different code word to enter for your chance to experience metallica at Sphere, September 24 and September 26 in your hotel with your fuel. And also, you can do this. Like, let's say I win it, right? And I take Brett. Brett wants to go on the 24th. That's a Thursday deal. Like, you know what? I'm gonna hook Brady up for the next day. You get a dude's trip up there. Oh, yeah. A bunch of you heading up and doing your thing. I'm going, but I'm not going to the concert because I can't get any tickets. I could buy them, but that's. Maybe. We'll see. But if you have not been in Sphere yet, that in Vegas. Oh, yeah. I've only seen the environmental movie. I didn't see a concert there. Earl, Tax guy. Steve saw the Grateful Dead there. And I'm like, ah, he likes him. So it worked for him. I know people who saw the Eagles. Metallica is a different animal. I actually met somebody who saw John Summit there, the dj. Oh, really? He did seven shows in seven days and sold them out in under a minute. All seven. And the thing holds like 15,000 people. It's huge. You haven't experienced the sound of a room that is like that. The room has the most amazing sound I've ever heard and let alone like what you're seeing. We had one tiny change with it. Larry just messaged us. The dates for Metallica at Sphere will now be October 1st through the 31st.
Brady
I was just looking at.
Brett Vesely
The winners will attend the first and the third show. October 1st and October 3rd. Well, of course, that's not right on my page. Well, he just text me, I guess. I just. Yeah, so it's. If the first is the first show, the third would be the second show probably. I would imagine they're taking a day off. Yeah, I would think so. But you get to see that. So you don't get to see them on the 24th and 26th. You scratch that right out.
Byron
Yeah, they won't be there.
Brett Vesely
Do you ever have anything? It just is what it is. Morning sickness. 98 Holmberg's morning sickness. Oh, this is great stuff. Our traffic and weather window. That leaves the. That looks out to our beautiful parking lot as we stare out at Camelback.
Brady
Beautiful.
Brett Vesely
It's gorgeous. We got two creepy meth heads that just parked their bike and started to monkey around with the city water supply that we've got.
Brady
He's got a full size roller suitcase too. They opened it up.
Brett Vesely
Oh, yeah. They got a lot of supplies, Brady. They've got a lot of supplies. He Just came from Sky Harbor. He just jacked that. Don't worry about it. So as we're watching these two kind of unfold, unpack their suitcase and talk about life in our parking lot, Trip pulls in and his 1968 Porsche convertible. I don't know what was that his Volvo? What is that thing? No, that's Porsche 356. It's a what? 356 convertible. What year? I think he said it's like a. It's gorgeous. 61 or 60, something like that. He pulls in orange in red. Flying driving gloves my way. Just crushing out some. Some glorious Sinatra as he rolls in. Going to work today? Yeah. I hope I don't pull into the parking lot and see any losers. Well, looky, look. And you just see him. He stops by the homeless and he's like, you know, my assumer's like, hey, losers, my name is success. You can't park here. I'm sure they fired back it up. They've fired back with you.
Byron
QQ tip.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, we'll see about that. Now I'm gonna send Rachel out because it's time for a fish fry. Big fat Rachel. Go attack those homeless. They're fresh. Take those meaty thighs and get out there and smother those two with your Seattle like fish trap. He's lighting the spray pipe right now. Is he is tripping yet or is he gonna fight him? I don't know. Moynihan, Ed, go fight the homeless.
Brady
He's stretching out.
Brett Vesely
He's gonna work and then just Sonic the hedgehog barrel roll those two right under the Papago golf course. Anyway, strip on the way to work in the convertible. My scarf looks so good. Gorgeous car. It's a beautiful car. All right, nine o'. Clock. Word now for Metallica is seasons. Seasons is the word. You're firing off at 9 o' clock to win this awesome thing at Sphere Las Vegas to see Metallica October 1st and October 3rd. I'm throwing those dates out as guesses. They could change, but you're gonna get two shows Metallica's doing over there at the glorious Sphere in Vegas. We're not only gonna do that, we'll put you up in a hotel. You don't have to fend for yourself. We'll give you 200 bucks in fuel. Again, too many felons out there. We cannot get to air travel. And they're in a parking lot. Yeah, Jim Brewer's gonna talk about wanting to drive in the first place. He's not gonna want to travel by air Anyway, we're gonna have a different code word every hour from now. A week and a half, this game goes on. So get ready to listen to that nine o' clock word is season. So get that together. I did get one. I did get one. But people are like, this isn't as good as you're making it out to be. And we told you before I even told you what this contest was. Please just email me with your hater cries, get it over with to tell me things suck before humans who hate life and fun and happiness. This one says, this Metallica giveaway is dumb. You're only giving two tickets away. I mean, I can't take anybody with me like that. Just two people in Vegas, and then I gotta fly or try to figure out how to get there. And then two seats. It's fear. I don't want the seats. Not to mention the person sitting in front of me. What if I have a leg episode? I might want to take my brave sister, but she doesn't want to go anywhere with me. Four should do it. If I win. And $200 for travel, I'm going to eat that alone at the McDonald's in Wickenburg. Signed, Rachel the Manatee. Yeah, so Rachel is already kind of out of the list. Here comes Tripp. Trip, give us a play by play on the losers. Those are relatives. I'll ask this question, considering all that's gone on here in the last year. We're not. They're not on a severance package, and they're not. We're not dealing with anything like that. We don't have to worry about a shoot them up, do we? No, one did. One left. One's messing around with the water thing over here. He's been turning that on and off. I don't know where he went. He said he pointed at a red convertible and he started to walk towards it. What?
Brady
What did you say?
Brett Vesely
When you stopped? Yeah, when you got to stop to like. Yeah, you're gonna. Oh, you did?
Byron
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
You didn't say hello or anything? No. You just said, I'm gonna call the police.
Brady
Did you have some train in the car? That's what we were wondering.
Brett Vesely
Wait, what did they say? They just stared at you.
Brady
Mind your own business, man.
Brett Vesely
This is my business,
Byron

Brett Vesely
Trip's handling some hobos.
Brady

Brett Vesely
That's what I like. Yeah. We're dealing with Trip Reed, man. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. That's Hawkins walking towards your car now.
Byron
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
They're all going to your car.
Brady
Oh, no. He's picking up the trash. He is picking up the trash.
Brett Vesely
Hey, either way, he is the trash. Brady. We need to pick him up. I don't like this at all anyway, play by play by play of losers. Yeah, can we get some police officers here to Hubbard Road, 1100 North 52nd street, before Jim Brewer gets here? Oh, Jim, if you're listening, hit him with your bus on your drive in. Nobody will miss him. Yeah, not at all. Kupd. Holmberg's morning sickness. I think it was yesterday, maybe it was a year before, but said that you were in a fight with an airline because.
Byron
Yes, I thought I was gonna read
Brett Vesely
no Fly List somewhere in there.
Byron
I almost ended up on the no Fly Fly List. I. I still have ptsd. From this moment, we. We've.
Brady
We've settled it.
Byron
We've somewhat settled the score.
Brady
Okay.
Byron
But, yeah, we settled the score.
Brett Vesely
What happened?
Byron
Here's what happened. I. I don't. Believe it or not, I don't really fly first class. So my daughter's working in Honolulu. She's got a great gig. She's starting to be a chef. She's working with some great chef out in Honolulu. So we're like, oh, let's go visit our daughter. We go before we go on tour. I'm gonna be gone for, like, three months. We go there on the way. I said, you know, why don't we do first class? We'll spend some cash and we'll do that. And my wife said, oh, it's a lot of money, a couple thousand bucks, but it's also a red eye. So you're leaving Honolulu? Gives. I got a pulled hat. Whatever. Book's first class.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
Shouldn't matter. You don't have an excuse. Jim Brewer. You work for this. You earned this.
Byron
This. I've been around. You've done it, Right? So we're in first class. So as we're about to board now, I do see there's other crew members there. And I. And I said, we're looking at this pilot, and he's got these flowers and. And the guy behind the counter, too. It's. There's something sheepish going on.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Byron
I don't know. Maybe they know each other. Well, as we're boarding. As we're boarding. Okay. Handicap. Yeah, military. James Brewer and Diana Brewer, please come to see me. And I went, are we.
Brett Vesely
We're done?
Byron
No, I'm like, oh, you're. I'm joking. Like, are we in trouble? I can't get upgraded to the pilot. Like, we're.
Brett Vesely
We're in first.
Byron
What's going on? And he goes, no, you're not in trouble. We should downgrade you to row 18 and 19. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about?
Brady
Yeah.
Byron
He goes, no, we. And he won't look me in the eyes. Holy. He's like, we.
Brett Vesely
We.
Byron
We overbooked first class. Hold on a second, dude.
Brett Vesely

Byron
You don't overbook when I put my menu slot in. Yeah, you're in, right? It's over.
Brett Vesely
Show me the guy with the same ticket.
Byron
Yes. So I went, wait a minute. I said, no, I know a captain. I'm friends with a captain, okay? And I'm also friends with a couple airline dudes. So I know how they have to get seats, and I know how they have to. But you can't take a paid customer seat.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
So first class, especially.
Byron
Exactly. I know it's going down right here.
Brett Vesely
Right.
Byron
However, it's 10:30 at night. We need to get home.
Brett Vesely

Byron
So no options. There's zero options. So I'm getting. I went, oh. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no. We. We. No, no, that's not happening.
Brett Vesely
We're.
Byron
We're sitting in there and he goes, it's too late. We already. It's already done. Oh, can we see it? Can we see a supervisor? I am the supervisor. You're the supervisor. Okay, so who'd you give my tickets to? That guy or that guy? Who'd you give the tickets? Yeah, and he's going, I can't tell you who I gift. He goes, your name was on a list. What are you talking about?
Brett Vesely
What list?
Byron
When your name. When the names came up. Your names. So this is what we're dealing with right now.
Brady
They're.
Byron
They're boarding first class. Yeah, first class. Like, what the. What is going. Like, what is going on right now? Yeah, so it covers real. A couple. If my wife wasn't there, who's Ms. Christian? Jesus.
Brett Vesely
What?
Byron
This is at the end of our. Every night when I. When we talk at the end night, she's like, so what did God show you today?
Brett Vesely
Are you in Arizona? Oh, no. You gotta make something up.
Byron
Oh, yeah, yeah. So I have to Think all day he. He made me talk to the guy at the truck stop, wish him to be blessed. Judgment.
Brady
Well, that's great, Jim.
Brett Vesely
The loser at the truck stop shouldn't be judged is what I learned today.
Byron
He was dropping a douche next to the truck and I God said, give him toilet paper.
Brett Vesely
Help him.
Brady
I was a good Samaritan.
Byron
So she's, she's, she's angry. She's angry, but she's down here. And I pulled the old. So you're telling me you're taking a frequent fire paid customer out of first class. That's what you're telling me right now? Who'd you give it to? And she's going, jim, Jim, Jim, Jim. And now, now I'm like, yeah, I don't want to be the. I don't want to be the guy that you see on Frontier Airlines, you know, on a Carnival cruise, like, bing, bing, bing.
Brett Vesely
Walking out. Yeah. Trash bag full of clothes.
Byron
So I'm, I'm trying to keep my composure, but what the real part that, that bothered me a. I know it was an overbooked. And we deal with all this and people say what. Whatever they want to try to say. It's if it. Let's say it was overbooked. If the guy said, and when it's overbooked, we all been there. They go, is anyone willing to. Yeah, yes, and we'll give you xyz. And then no one takes it. And they go, okay, we're upping the ante.
Brett Vesely
This pilot.
Byron
We're gonna do two vouchers. Yeah. You wait it out.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Byron
And a rent a car.
Brett Vesely
You might as well have Wayne Brady making the deals like there's another curtain. I wait for that.
Byron
There was no. I'm telling you, if this guy went, listen to me, we gotta get these, these, these, these pilots need to be in first class. And we have a situation. I. If we can put him in your seats and put there. We will give you two vouchers for a future first class flight.
Brett Vesely
This one. Right.
Byron
Done.
Brett Vesely
Handled.
Byron
We're done. It's handled. But he went first of all. He offered zero. Zero.
Brett Vesely
You're just taking the lump.
Byron
You take the hit and suck it.
Brett Vesely
Suck it, goat boy. Get in your chair.
Byron
Suck it. Walk out. Can you imagine going in with a car dealership and you're like, I'm here you go, here's my money. I want the Lamborghini. And they pull up with a Honda Insight. Yeah. No, this is what you got.
Brett Vesely
We overbooked the Lamborghini oversold though.
Byron
But you sold it to me. You handed me the keys. Yeah, well, same price. It's the same price. And good luck going through customer service trying to get.
Brett Vesely
There's no flight after, so you got to eat this.
Byron
I got to eat it. So then he goes, and you're in
Brady
group 12 now,
Byron
and we have bags.
Brett Vesely
All right, dude next to you with a chicken on his head.
Byron
Like, it's the worst. I'm starting to lose my snot. So he goes, he didn't offer anything, which was. Enraged me even more. I mean, if you're gonna. If you're gonna do that to someone, which I truly believe was foul play, they took it.
Brett Vesely
Sure.
Brady
You.
Byron
You better go. Okay, sir, here's your vouchers for a future first class. We highly apologize. No, you know, he goes, I can get you. I get you. How about I give you a $500 five?
Brett Vesely
That's not covering anything. You get row 18 again.
Byron
What is that exactly. I'm paying. That's what it costs for O18.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Byron
If I'm lucky. I gotta up. Actually, no, it's more expensive because the $500 gets me on the plane.
Brett Vesely
But.
Byron
Oh, wait a minute.
Brett Vesely
That's behind exit row. So technically, that's another $60, because you're
Byron
only 8 inches away from the seat
Brett Vesely
in front of you, unless you want to go to three inches in front of you, and then you pay $380. Unreal.
Byron
And you got to pay for your two extra bags because you're not in first class anymore.
Brett Vesely
So now. Okay, now we got issues.
Byron
So 500 bucks. And then he goes, My wife goes, hold on a second. Is there a flight tomorrow? And this banana goes, hold on a second.
Brady
Yeah,
Byron
I can get you on the flight tomorrow.
Brett Vesely
Now.
Byron
He goes, the only thing is, I can't sit you guys together. We went, fine. Yeah, all right.
Brett Vesely
See each other all the time.
Byron
Yeah, totally. Good. And then I went, wait a minute. I come. I said, hold on a second. Is tomorrow night first class?
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Byron
He goes, no, it's economy, but I can get you economy plus. Like, no, this is the supervisor. Oh, the supervisor. So anyway, I said, I just want
Brett Vesely
to get on the plane.
Byron
My wife's like, no, you're paying for a hotel. I'm not chasing all this money. I know how the system works.
Brady
And if you don't like it, write a letter to the airline.
Byron
That's what. This is, what I get.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Byron
So for three straight days, I will call people, I'll say, listen, I don't mean to vent to you.
Brett Vesely
But.
Byron
And I know you had nothing to do with this, but here's my situation. Every person I had to get to, like the baggage claim piece. People that like, oh, so your bag's missing? No, here's the situation. But I can't get anyone on the phone. She went each one.
Brett Vesely
Here's what you do.
Brady
Yeah.
Byron
You go on AA.com forward/cut, and you write your report and you demand what you want and say, okay, so that's what I did for three straight days. Two days later I get a anime like an AI email that says we're gonna reburse you for $400. I still have the email.
Brett Vesely
$400. That's it? Yeah.
Byron
So then I, who I can't. I'm emailing someone that's not gonna email back to me.
Brady
Get no answers.
Byron
There's no answers. So then somewhat now my fan. Now I go on a live stream.
Brett Vesely
Did the email start? Dear Mr. Atta, please stop calling me.
Byron
I know what you're doing.
Brett Vesely
Well, don't. Don't get too upset, Muhammad. It might.
Byron
It might be right. I understand you have a problem. What is going down there?
Brett Vesely
Morning sickness. Medicate K. Holmberg's morning sickness. Damn it. Oh man. Damn it. We can't play another song. Play another song. Oh man. I can't admit Mickey involved anyway. Deeden, watch this
Byron
dirty little mouse.
Brett Vesely
He is a dirty mouse. Jim Brewer series at Celebrity Theater tonight. And by the way, the 10 o' clock word for the Metallica contest is Unforgiven. Are you gonna go see that?
Byron
I'm seeing them in Dublin.
Brett Vesely
You're going to see him in Dublin?
Byron
I'm going to Dublin in June.
Brett Vesely
I got sphere up there in Dublin.
Byron
That's going to be a great time. Of what? They play Creeping Death. I haven't heard that song live since that long.
Brady
Does they have a dome there?
Byron
No, there's no D. It's a football field.
Brett Vesely
We don't need it. We got clouds, we got alcohol. We'll make our own sphere.
Byron
We go down, we sing all great songs to kill Liverpool.
Brett Vesely
They just start singing stalker songs in the middle of water.
Byron
Depth to the English.
Brady
You gotta buy a Metallica scarf too. I bet you they'll sell those.
Brett Vesely
What the hell is this they're doing? Play whiskey in a jar again. The hell are you doing? You're making time. You're making a mockery in this entire event. Brewer even wants to hear it. No more of this one. That's depressing.
Byron
Don't feel good. No one says why no we didn't
Brett Vesely
go to war with them. Yeah, we don't understand this.
Byron
Whiskey in the jar, let's do it.
Brett Vesely
Go. Three, two, one.
Byron
Come on.
Brett Vesely
Give me fire. Yeah, yeah, give me. Yeah, fuel the fire.
Byron
Let's do fire. Do stuff like that.
Brett Vesely
I don't care about your American wars with them. They do your thing.
Byron
The Bell tours. You haven't seen nothing. The Vikings came in. They took our children and women. That's been happening for centuries. That's why we see no one's invading us this year.
Brett Vesely
Why are you seeing him in Dublin? I mean, it's a great thing, but, I mean, just because you're there and they're the same time.
Byron
So I found a new. I found a new friend who. I live in Florida.
Brady
Good for you.
Byron
And he likes Juice, Priest, and Metallica. And we said, let's start. Let's go see them.
Brett Vesely
Oh, so you're making a trip out of it? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Byron
And then, you know, the chick's like, wait a minute.
Brett Vesely
You're not going along? Like, yeah, we are. We don't want you going. If you want to come with us, I mean, you can come Friday night. We'll go to a party pub, and we're going to see the concert Saturday. Going to pub Metallica? Yeah. You get two free tickets.
Byron
That's right.
Brett Vesely
It's awesome.
Byron
I got tickets now.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, it'll be. That'll be awesome. But Sphere in Vegas has something too. Have you been in there yet?
Byron
I have been in there, yeah.
Brett Vesely
Who'd you see?
Byron
I saw the Eagles, and it's boring. Well, I mean, they're boring.
Brett Vesely
The show's probably.
Byron
The show is on. Put it this way, way too much money. I spent way too much money. I'm dropping and I'm dropping. We went with a group and they're like, oh, you gotta see the Eagles. So we go there. Take us to, like, 800 a piece. Like, oh, my God, I'm 15, 16 the hole before I show up. And of course, when you show up, the.
Brett Vesely
The.
Byron
The hotel's like, eagles are here.
Brett Vesely
If you came here on Thursday, it
Byron
was $110 special, but you're here.
Brett Vesely
The Eagles is another $850. Oh, my God.
Byron
I'm like, four grand in the hole. They come out. I'm blown away by the spear.
Brett Vesely
Oh, it's amazing.
Byron
So it's unbelievable.
Brett Vesely
And at what level were you?
Byron
Section 300.
Brett Vesely
I was 400 right in the middle. Perfect, Right?
Byron
So as they come out, they come out of the gate. Now I'm A little heated from the amount of money I spent already. You know, I went to the. Every chef out there. It's 200 for a piece of chicken. It's the tattoo. Midget, Indian, Moroccan, you know, Hindu and Muslim at the same time.
Brett Vesely
Chef.
Byron
That you seen on television. So therefore, he's allowed to charge you
Brett Vesely
$300 for some chicken.
Brady
Yeah.
Byron
All right. Swear, like, everyone's a star. Dude. You're making chicken and a burger. Relax.
Brett Vesely
Oh, you're talking about Guy Fieri. Drives me nuts. I know. He's the one that gets any of them. Yeah.
Byron
Anyway.
Brett Vesely
So. Anyway.
Byron
The power of television.
Brett Vesely
It's amazing.
Byron
So with that said, we're sitting there and they come out of the gate with Hotel California. And I'm not gonna lie to. There's part of me going the open. That's a closer. Dude. That's what I said.
Brett Vesely
I said that this morning.
Brady
They've been doing that same.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, they're running that list the whole time.
Byron
I said, I don't know how it's gonna go from here. Tell you that. Now I'm pissed about my money. And my wife's like, just relax. I did finally relax. It. I gotta tell you, when you can't hide and the lyrics are coming down like you're on mushroom.
Brett Vesely
Raining.
Brady
It's raining lyrics.
Byron
It wasn't like, oh, my God, it looks amazing. Then Joe Walsh is like,
Brett Vesely
It's amazing.
Byron
And he sounds amazing.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Byron
And then the last song was great. And this. I'll never forget this moment they're doing. It's gonna be a Heartache Tonight. And I'm like, you know what? Screw the money we paid.
Brett Vesely
This is worth it.
Byron
I turn around, my wife's out. She's asleep. People are standing. Loudest song, and she's out. It was that chicken.
Brady
It got her.
Byron
And she didn't nod off. She was out for songs. Because when you.
Brett Vesely
She's drooling. When you got back to the aria and laid in bed, did you say, what did Jesus teach you today?
Brady
I was meditating.
Brett Vesely
You're sleepy and you wasted money. That's awesome.
Brady
So it's on the bubble. The. The money the spirit spent on that particular show.
Brett Vesely
Worth it? It's on the.
Byron
It's worth.
Brett Vesely
Was worth it. I just looked at the clock.
Brady
We're.
Brett Vesely
We're doing somebody else's show now. Who cares? Jim Brewer, the best. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station,

If you’re new to Holmberg’s Morning Sickness, this episode delivers a snapshot of the show’s signature style: rapid-fire riffing, local Arizona in-jokes, sharp-edged satire, and unfiltered reactions to listener emails and celebrities. Expect jokes that push the edge, playful disrespect for sacred cows, and a group dynamic that feeds off interruption and improvisation.
Highlights include a comedic autopsy of changing restaurants in a derelict strip mall, biting commentary on “made-up diseases,” a major Metallica Vegas contest reveal, and comedian Jim Breuer’s epic airline complaint/rant. Mixed in are pop-culture jokes, playful bigotry (in the vein of classic shock-jock radio), and affectionate ribbing of regular characters and listeners.
A rollicking, tightly-packed short show—perfect if you enjoy morning radio with a sharp bite and no rules.
