[Bert]

Morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail.

[Dale]

Dale, you got us through another day.

[Bert]

I did. Do you guys look forward to having me in here?

[Dale]

Bert, of course.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Bert]

You always look excited when I walk forward. Yeah.

[Dale]

Do you look forward to this, like, on Tuesday?

[Bert]

Yeah. You're thinking, he said, yeah.

[Johnny]

I wake up Monday morning, go, oh, this week.

[Brady]

Four days to dance.

[Bert]

You know that when I'm here, that means you got one day left.

[Dale]

That's true. You kind of represent the end.

[Bert]

Yes. In more ways than one. So true, Johnny. This is what you guys look forward to over the next 10 years.

[Dale]

This one says dale, Hello. Strange. If I buy an entire store out of that billiards place, can we let Dale go? William's mad at you. Why, cowboy? Why are you talking to Cowboys? You know, he's got the same vibe I've got for the Ravens.

[Bert]

Okay.

[Dale]

It'd be like, you know.

[Bert]

Jealousy.

[Dale]

Yeah. Not jealous.

[Bert]

Yeah.

[Dale]

I'm not jealous of the race. Not jealous.

[Bert]

They've been around, what, a third of the time? The Steelers, and they got two championships. Probably get a third.

[Dale]

They haven't been around a third of the time. Well, probably they've been around for a long time.

[Bert]

20 years.

[Dale]

They're the Cleveland Browns.

[Bert]

No, they're not. Cleveland got to keep all their records.

[Dale]

Cleveland Browns. Spade. The Cleveland Browns. But there's the gap. They are the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland What? This thing that the Cleveland Browns have is some sort of weird, like. Like, AI version of what the. That's not the real Cleveland Browns. The real Cleveland Browns are in Baltimore.

[Bert]

Hey, can I tell. Can I tell Brady something? Give him some fashion advice.

[Dale]

Yes.

[Bert]

The red is not your color.

[Dale]

You don't like him in red.

[Bert]

No. But you should probably get the gray.

[Johnny]

That's my. That's my championship one.

[Dale]

Is gray okay? Yeah.

[Bert]

Because that Red makes you look like a pimple is gonna pop.

[Dale]

You look like a tick. Yeah, I know. I think the red looks fine. Wow.

[Johnny]

I'd rather hear some.

[Bert]

Oh, really?

[Dale]

Okay.

[Johnny]

You were lying.

[Dale]

I think the red looks fine on you. I don't think red is a good color for you. It blends in with the hypertension.

[Johnny]

I don't wear it too often knowing that.

[Bert]

Yeah.

[Dale]

That you're too red naturally.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Dale]

Yeah.

[Bert]

Is it a little chilly out in Gilbert this morning?

[Johnny]

Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot cooler in Gilbert.

[Dale]

It'll be warm today. He'll get. He'll shed that.

[Bert]

It'll be 90 degrees today.

[Dale]

Right. Thank you. Sweating Dale's we it's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. I was there yesterday, had a blast. We did multiple attacker fights and all sorts of stuff and I just had the best time ever and I feel like I got a workout. Body is in full on. Let's take today off mode. It was a tough one yesterday. Had a blast though. And you can do the exact same thing. Get in shape, learn some stuff, have a good time and actually start to recognize. Oh, there's ways around certain situations. Multiple knife attack, that ain't no fun. But it is a. It is an eye opening drill to realize your options. If it did happen to you, it's pretty great. And they do that to everybody all the time. Crawl, walk, run. Doesn't matter what shape you're in right now. That's the shape you present yourself each and every time you walk outside. And bad guys are looking for people who aren't going to fight or aren't aware of their surroundings. They teach you that up there too. And the price is ridiculous. 2 months, $199. Hands on personal self defense training along with all the other stuff they offer. Check it [e-mail] it's the home of tactical black Brady entertainment.

[Johnny]

The Oscars are Sunday and they just released some additional presenters. Harrison Ford, Dave Bautista, Andrew Garfield, Rachel Zegler.

[Bert]

Who's Andrew Garfield?

[Dale]

He was Spider Man. Spider Man?

[Bert]

Oh, I thought that was that cartoon Garfield.

[Dale]

No. Yeah, Garfield the cat will be presenting an Oscar.

[Johnny]

Gal Gadot.

[Dale]

Oh, yeah, she's back. She's very, very pretty. How about Batista? Batista getting in on the Oscars. He was in the show once. Yeah, I know. Because everybody's done a Marvel movie. That's true.

[Johnny]

Vice.com says this is the Mount Rushmore of grunge music. Who would it be? So, in the order so they said Cobain will be George Washington.

[Dale]

Okay. Oh, I don't know which one's what. Cornell. Definitely up there.

[Johnny]

Soundgarden would be Thomas Jefferson.

[Dale]

All right. Pearl Jam.

[Johnny]

Pearl Jam. Teddy Roosevelt.

[Dale]

Stone Temple Pilots.

[Johnny]

Allison Chains.

[Dale]

Allison Chains.

[Johnny]

Abraham Lincoln.

[Dale]

I always think Allison change is sort of like a second level. Even though I love them, I never put them in that. But they are. They're actually. They were before all those guys. Facelift came out. Before all that stuff.

[Johnny]

Dale's got some music news.

[Dale]

Where is it? Oh, go ahead, Dale.

[Johnny]

Well, he's a big fan.

[Bert]

How come he never smiles when he comes in?

[Dale]

Because you're here. All right.

[Bert]

Why doesn't he like me? Why don't you like me?

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Dale]

What'd you say?

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Bert]

Really? Really? That's what you've been doing? The last thing.

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Bert]

Yeah. Holy cow, dude.

[Dale]

No idea.

[Johnny]

Clear.

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Dale]

I can't get much clearer than that. I hope your daughters are listening.

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Bert]

Thanks, knucklehead.

[Dale]

That's true. He could have done it anyway.

[Bert]

Shaboozi has the longest number one streak for solo country artist since 1958.

[Dale]

Wow.

[Bert]

It's a bar song called Tipsy.

[Dale]

Yeah.

[Bert]

They're breaking more records. Song has now spent 35 weeks at number one. This breaks a tie with Sam Hunt's song Body Like a Back Road.

[Dale]

You don't remember that?

[Bert]

I do. I didn't realize it got number one. Yeah, that was for 34 weeks back in 2017. Shibuzi now is the longest number one streak since 1958. But he has a long way to go if he wants the all time record.

[Dale]

What hillbilly song is number one for the longest?

[Bert]

Which do you think holds the all time record, Johnny? Of the best music genre that they're. I mean, you know, the Boxcar Greens or whatever.

[Dale]

Give me a. Give me a time frame.

[Bert]

That was the 2017 and 18.

[Dale]

That's when it. That's when the record was.

[Bert]

Yes.

[Dale]

So it's probably one of those dumb hillbillies. That's new Morgan Waller. Morgan Wallen would be a guest for.

[Bert]

Florida Georgia Line and BB Rex.

[Dale]

Maybe Rex us. So they needed some pop influence in that to make it good.

[Bert]

It says so. Their song was meant to be. Went for 50 weeks.

[Dale]

Don't you want to just punch the dumb out of Big And Rich, why? Oh, just the hat and the stupid ass.

[Bert]

Well, tell me, are you gonna watch this nonsense on Sunday night?

[Dale]

I'll peer into it. I'll take a look. I haven't seen any of the curiosity.

[Bert]

Curiosity?

[Dale]

What's going on?

[Bert]

Just listen to all their bs.

[Johnny]

I don't think you're gonna hear it.

[Dale]

That's why I watch. I'll see if they're. If they've learned. If they've learned their lesson.

[Johnny]

Well, if it's anything like the Golden Globes.

[Dale]

Well, the sags were different. They got political in that. So I'm curious. I'm curious to see if they go. If they've learned a lesson.

[Johnny]

There's, you know, enough days have passed now. Now you can start jumping on some stuff.

[Bert]

198 million views on YouTube, Johnny.

[Dale]

Of what?

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Dale]

Oh, wow, you got a lot of views. That is a hell of a lot of views for that deal. Good for you.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Dale]

You're an Internet sensation.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Dale]

You look at Rich. You better start running now.

[Brady]

I've been jerking the guy out or.

[Dale]

He'Ll come at you. So to speak. That's it. Tonight you go to Eos. Yes. You're heading over to Eos. Where is it? Guadalupe and Rural, basically. Okay. Guadalupe and Rural. You'll be there from 5 to 7 o'clock?

[Bert]

Yep. You wear a tank top in there? I mean, you get a little workout in.

[Dale]

Oh, yeah. He's gonna sweat. He's gonna have his sweatsuit on.

[Bert]

He's gonna pull.

[Dale]

I always wear that. That's just everyday wear. Work out my workout. He'll be over at EOS today, 5 to 7 o'clock. Signing up. Giving you KUPD stuff all day long. Join Bert over in his neck of the woods in Mesa. That's easy enough. Dale's going nowhere, and I mean fast. What are you doing this weekend?

[Brady]

I've been jerking a guy out.

[Dale]

Okay. And Burry's got nothing going on either. That's it. We're done. Tomorrow's Friday and we're all out of here. Thanks, Dale. Thanks to everybody else too. We'll see you tomorrow. Solo.

[Dick Toledo]

It's not weird.

[Bert]

It's pretty cool, actually.

[Dick Toledo]

No membership fees.

[Dale]

I have heard enough of this to you, pj.
