The frenzy in the NFL has begun and it's, it's already started moving stuff around. Walker. Walker 3 has left the Seahawks. He's gone. K9. He's gone. Where'd he go?

[John Holmberg]

Kansas City.

[Brady]

Kansas City. And then the Steelers just got Michael Pittman, which is a great. Grabka goes to the Jets. Who leaves to go to the Jets.

[Ian Schwartz]

I'll take a pay cut.

[Brady]

As a matter of fact, I just become a real estate agent.

[Ian Schwartz]

Hopkins, are you hiring?

[Brady]

I'd go to Doug Hopkins and mop his floors before he'd play for the Jets. So, yeah, it's all happening, happening with the free agencies. The, the tampering period is on and we can start talking about where everybody's going. And boy, there's been some good ones.

[Ian Schwartz]

But so at midnight, it's on.

[Brady]

It is official free agency. Okay, so what you're hearing now is what is going to be officially signed tomorrow. Yeah, because you're allowed to talk now. Okay. And the Cardinals signed James Connor to the injured reserve list for the next three years. That's smart.

[Ian Schwartz]

But the Rams, Niners and Seahawks are shaking.

[Brady]

They kept Connor and Connor is great in the locker room because he's, he's diligent about his workouts to recover for next year. I love James Connor, but, man, you can't. He's. I'd hire him as a coach before I'd have him back on the field.

[Ian Schwartz]

The dudes.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, hey, hey. Cardinal fans, Big news.

[Brady]

What'd they get?

[John Holmberg]

Resigning Chad Rylan.

[Brady]

I don't know who that is.

[John Holmberg]

Kicker.

[Brady]

They're on the right.

[Larry]

And.

[John Holmberg]

And Blake Gilliken again. Punter.

[Brady]

Okay. They're. They're shoring up the specialty. Well, that's their starting point. Look, to the Cardinals, punting is wildly important.

[Larry]

That's true. That's fair.

[Brady]

You better have a good punt on your team.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Brady]

Yeah, that's right. Anyway, pick it up. We got an entertainment drill coming up as we start to play. I'm getting all my emails like Steelers go to. Everybody's telling me Crosby's a Raven. Yeah, I know. I hope his legs fall off. It'll be so great if Max Crosby went there and it's like, hey, let's show him where the bridge used to be. And then the bridge falls on him more.

[John Holmberg]

Apparently, Brady's boy Jamar Chase went off a little bit about Crosby signing with the.

[Brady]

With the Ravens.

[Larry]

Oh, yeah?

[Brady]

Yeah, because they're. They lost their whole dumb.

[Ian Schwartz]

Who?

[Brady]

The Ravens?

[Larry]

No, he's like the bungled to let the Ravens do that.

[Brady]

Yeah, they had a chance. They didn't even pay their own guy. Yeah, they're a poorly run organization, the Ravens, for all their flaws and having, you know, to live in the sewer of America.

[John Holmberg]

Also, Brady, you don't want to give up two first round picks.

[Brady]

They. Yeah, the Ravens run a good organization. Yeah, there's a reason they're consistent.

[John Holmberg]

What I'm saying, they can take a two first rounder hit.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Bengals.

[John Holmberg]

Nope.

[Brady]

It's all over. The free agency technically starts Wednesday. It's the legal tampering period, which I love. That phrase, legal tampering sounds like what the Catholic Church tried to get passed for years. We just want to bother him a little bit.

[Larry]

Good band name.

[Brady]

Illegal tampering is a great band name. Really good. It's almost 10 o'. Clock. That means we move forward and that sick new world thing is going crazy. So your phone will tell you when to tap the track and talking about it all morning long. Listen on the app, listen on the website and you'll do it if you're listening to the radio. Well, that thing's. That's stupid. Don't do that. App and website only. That's how you win prizes around here. I'm half hard. The Steelers traded like a six rounder for Michael Pittman and the Colts, so that's awesome. That guy's 28 years old. That's a great grab. I don't know who's going to throw him the ball, but so far so good. That's amazing. It's time for Brady to give you all the entertaining news that we all know and love.

But Schwartz is like, these women in their 40s that love this heated rival won't shut up about it. They all come to us like it's new to us. And I'm like, that's true. And he goes, he's got Gina over at work. And she's like, ian, did you watch this Weekend? He goes, I live it. Why do I have to watch this? And she's like, oh, this guy did this and this guy did that. And he's like, oh. He said It's. It's the 40 year old white woman's way of sleep saying, I've got gay friends.

They run up to gays and explain a gay show to them. We get it.

[Comedy Announcer]

And then.

[Brady]

But the chemistry. Yeah, it's called love. Like I. Yeah, we have that in real life. I've never seen it before. Right.

[Larry]

As for movies, Dirty Dancing 41 top the list. Pretty Woman 39. Titanic 38. Fifty Shades of Gray.

[Brady]

Rihanna had shots fired at her home. And was it Beverly Hills? Nine rounds. She was in the house at the time.

[Brady]

Were they shooting at the house or just around it?

[Larry]

At the house.

[Brady]

Some lunatic went and just tried to shoot up Rihanna's house.

[Larry]

Yeah. Now they're saying between seven and nine rounds, AR15 style.

[Brady]

Wow.

[Larry]

While parked in her Tesla across the street, four rounds reportedly struck the house.

[Brady]

Wait, someone was in her car shooting at her house?

[Larry]

Fired around Rihanna's home in Beverly Hills. And while she Was inside? Yeah, she pulled up in the woman pulled up in the.

[Brady]

[Larry]

[Brady]

[Brady]

Wow.

[Larry]

Was it a scorned lover?

[Brady]

I don't know. My bullets start flying at the house. You gotta work, work, work, work, work.

[Larry]

Rosanna Arquette says Quentin Tarantino's overuse of the N word is not art, just racist and creepy.

[Brady]

Who said this?

[Larry]

Rosanna Arquette.

[Brady]

Oh, calm down.

[Larry]

Well, we get somebody chimed in.

[Brady]

He's got a past.

[Larry]

In the past, he's been criticized for the overuse of the N word in his films. Called out by Spike Lee and filmmaker Lee Daniels. But Samuel L. Jackson came to Tarantino's defense in 2022 and said, it's unfair. He's just telling a story. And the characters do talk like that.

[Brady]

Okay. I'm just sick of it. Okay? It's just everybody wants to say. And I can say it all they want if you get a pass. Okay, yes. Okay.

[Larry]

Everything.

[Brady]

Like, embrace your inner in this one. He said he told Jamie Foxx once when he hired him for Django Unchained. Jamie told the story. He's in town this week, by the way. He's at the stand appliance. Is it tomorrow?

[Larry]

Tomorrow.

[John Holmberg]

Wednesday and Thursday.

[Brady]

So Jamie said that he. He said, I came into this in the first scenes to shoot Django. And he said. And he said I kind of over delivered the lines in kind of a tough way. And he goes. And I hear Quentin go, okay, all right, cut. Okay. I knew you'd bring that gangster crap to this thing. He's like, what? He said, he just hit me hard. You're a slave. You're not tough. You're not doing tough stuff. You're not tough right now. And he said he bowed up like he was a gang, like he was going to beat everyone up. And he said the n word like 11 times just talking to him. And Jamie's like, he's right. And he was dead right about it because I'm not sure I liked how he did it, but he was right.

[Ian Schwartz]

I mean, if Samuel Jackson's defending it because he's Dropped more N bombs, more Quentin Tarantino moves.

[Brady]

Quentin's got a. He can't just blurt one out like at a Starbucks.

[Larry]

Right.

[Brady]

But in the movies, yeah, he writes pretty good. I hate to say it. He gives good N word.

[John Holmberg]

I was wondering how you're gonna crack that.

[Brady]

I'm not allowed to do it, but I recognize it when it's artistic. Like, I. Like, that's really well played. And if it's. If it's the writing, then Leonardo DiCaprio, rotten tomatoes. He gives good N word. And then everybody appreciates it because it's not being done in a. Like, for the reasons of just being racist. It's. It's got a purpose.

[Larry]

He's a blacksmith.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's right. Right. He's.

[Larry]

That.

[Brady]

He's exactly right. Exactly right. Okay, Good one, Brady. Next time, okay.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Quick update for those keeping score at home. Malik Willis, now a Miami Dolphin.

[Brady]

What? He ruined his career.

[Larry]

Yep.

[Brady]

Cardinals are going to get to a tongue of a lower.

[Larry]

His little rundown of rock stars whose solo careers flopped.

[Brady]

There's loads of those. David Lee Ross probably on there. Even though he had a couple of hits.

[Larry]

Not in the top two.

[Ian Schwartz]

Skyscrapers Sold, though, instead of Yankee. The. Yankee Rose.

[Brady]

Yankee Rose. But I mean, it was.

[Ian Schwartz]

Well, after that, he kind of.

[Brady]

It was not because how great those were. I know, but it wasn't because they were good. It was just David Lee Roth. They were hoping. Okay.

[Larry]

MTV helped California Girls. And with that video.

[Brady]

Yeah, come on. That was just a cover song.

[Larry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ian Schwartz]

But Yankee Rose was good.

[Brady]

Yankee Rose was cool.

[Ian Schwartz]

Steve Vai on there, just tearing it up.

[Brady]

I like Skyscraper. I thought it was a cool album. But this, you go back, it's definitely dated. Kind of cool. Yeah, yeah.

[Larry]

So Freddie Mercury. Oh, that's Gene Simmons.

[Brady]

Oh, absolutely.

[Larry]

Steven Tyler, Tommy Lee.

[Brady]

I don't remember Steven Tyler's song.

[John Holmberg]

Tommy Lee was Methods of Madness, Right?

[Ian Schwartz]

Methods of Mayhem.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Methods of Mayhem. That's right.

[Ian Schwartz]

Him and some other dude.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Vince Neil. Scott Stapp made the list. Boy George.

[Ian Schwartz]

Scott Stapp's last song was really good, though.

[Brady]

Was it? Yeah, I remember that.

[Ian Schwartz]

That was really good. We played it

[Larry]

all right.

[Ian Schwartz]

I don't know. Boy George did a solo album.

[Brady]

I kind of think of him as solo anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Larry]

That's fair.

[Brady]

By the time Culture Club was over, he just ran out of ideas. That dude could sing. The phone book, though. He's got a beautiful voice. Just unbelievable in person.

[Ian Schwartz]

Strong.

[Brady]

Well, there you go.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Brady]

I keep trying to think of solo artists that left. Didn't do anything. Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters. That was a little bit of a goof.

[John Holmberg]

What did he do?

[Brady]

He had a whole album on his own.

[Ian Schwartz]

Chevy Metal or something.

[Brady]

He had that and then he had his own Taylor Hawkins and the blah blah blahs. And it was an album that I was excited.

[Larry]

The Joe Perry Project. Another.

[Brady]

I saw that live. That's not a thing, dude. We don't speak of that. It was disaster. It's 10:10. Larry's coming up next. He's going to tell you all about Sick New World. Tap that track, burn it into your brains because it's going on for the a month. Constantly thinking about this thing. But we're right off the bat. So we're gonna kick it off about 1 o' clock this afternoon. I'm gonna be making some calls and give somebody pairs of tickets to both the first and second show of Metallica at Sphere. We all played along about two weeks and today it comes to fruition. I'll be giving away the big prize and get you to disappear in the Sphere. So if your phone rings and you don't recognize the number today at about around one, well, then you're an idiot. Pick up your phone, we're all done. Larry's next. Have yourselves a grand Monday. We'll see you tomorrow on the Morning Sickness. Hello, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. It's John Holmberg here from the morning Cygnus. And I'm absolutely thrilled to tell you about my [e-mail]. you've heard me mention Kevin Costner, Trey McBride, other countless celebrities and pro athletes and how they chose lifted trucks. But that doesn't mean it's only for actors and pro athletes. It's for all of you. Everybody who loves a cool adventure. So if you're a huge celebrity like me or just an average Joe who wants the best truck available, head on over to Lifted Trucks. They live up to being the number one custom truck dealer for over 30 years. 10,000 five star reviews can't be wrong. Lifted trucks.com work hard, play hard, drive harder.
