Brady
You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.
Dick Toledo
He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. There you go. Hey. Thank you, Local H. What a lovely guest that was. No, they said all the songs we play are live. I don't know if you guys knew that or not.
Brady
Yeah, everybody.
Dick Toledo
They knock him out. I know. Thank you. Thriller. It's something we've worked on for a long time, but they'll hear Local H. They're bound for the floor. And this is the the tragedy of letting Brett be the screen call screener. We'll find out in a little bit why I said that, but. Oh, this is great. Today's contest might be rigged. What were you talking about? Considered Palladio? No, I don't think so. Jesus God. That's not me. That's not me, everybody. I didn't realize that was a thing, but yeah, Bretel. Pretty hilarious. Anyway, Thrillers here. And let's all hear it for Thriller. This weekend. It's worse than NCAA girls basketball, which is what usually eats up your weekends over at the KDUS radio station that nobody listens to. This weekend you've got minor league soccer. You've got oversee.
Brady
Yep. Phoenix Rising.
Dick Toledo
I know what they're called. I don't want to get mad at me and start dead, but, you know, I can't imagine being the guy running the board on that.
Brady
That's not so bad.
Dick Toledo
You're wondering what's that? Who's the star player we should watch on the Rising?
Brady
Oh, I haven't. Like I've looked into this season's roster yet that.
Dick Toledo
You don't have to just make like Steve Moynihan, he's great. Steve Moynihan is one of the best minor league soccer players I've ever seen. Kevin Ray, Kevin Ray, also very good. Yeah. 61 year old Kevin Ray, voice of the Suns. He's a. He's a power wing. I don't know. Dave Har. Dave Har, he's great too. Yeah, everybody in our sales department's down there. Well, so you're having a tough weekend and that's we. I just said it right before when they are like, man, this week went fast. It's almost 10 already on a Friday. And then Thriller just quietly in the back goes. Not for me, because it's been NCAA girls basketball all week, more or less.
Brady
Yeah, and baseball too. And baseball too.
Dick Toledo
The poor bastard. Anyway, let's hear it for Thriller, everybody. The poor kid. And he is your host of D Squad, Lupe Square.
Brady
All right, thank you, Chancellor. Let's begin top of square. Hopefully he's doing better. Tracy Morgan.
Dick Toledo
I was listening to your broadcast.
Brady
That'll explain it.
Dick Toledo
I listen to Katie west all the time and it makes me sick. I had him on my earbud.
Brady
Yeah, I saw the damage. That was quite the splatter there.
Dick Toledo
You don't have to worry about it. It's not drugs or alcohol. It's just a bad wiener. Brady knows.
Brady
Oh yeah, that's damage.
Dick Toledo
Sometimes you just see the wiener too hard and next thing you know you start puking all over. What? By the way, Brett, you're an insensitive prick. What I do? I heard you say he was gonna try to take Willa to the drags. Just cause his leg does that don't mean you can take him dragon places. Oh, I forgot the drag jokes ain't funny.
Brady
Is your favorite band Imagine Dragons?
Dick Toledo
See, Exactly. He's heard them all. He doesn't need you doing their drags with me, by the way. Go Nicks. Wanna know? Wanna know? Since I barfed all over the floor. By the way, I apologize a little bit for you not even trying to get up. I put some Febreze on that, smelled the whole room. Nice though you wouldn't even notice that I threw up four pounds of hot dogs after eating one. If Febreze fixed everything, Brady, he could do it at your house. And so it won't smell so much like smoked meat all the time. Make me hungry every time a breeze to take a bite of his couch.
Brady
Oh God. Well, at least you're improving a little bit here. Let's hop on to the top. Middle square. We have Jason Statham up next.
Dick Toledo
How are you doing, Thriller? Good.
Brady
How about yourself?
Dick Toledo
Pretty good. It's good to be here. Yeah, I've got a movie coming out next week.
Brady
What's it about?
Dick Toledo
From the director of the Beekeeper. Oh, and you know, I'm here now, Brady. I left to promote the movie and I got here so fast, I'm a week early. It's amazing because I'm Jason Statham, I work very fast. Hey, Holmberg. But me, right? We're allowed to talk to him, right? I suppose. What did Kato Kalin call you? Oh, he said I look like Jason Statham with a really big nose. Right. I don't see it. I see the nose. I don't see the rest of it because I'm quite handsome. Even if I had a big nose, I'd still be good looking. You're not. All right. Are we done talking? Well, I didn't know we could talk to you. From the director of Jewkeeper. It's Jason Statham with a really big nose. You're not even fast. I bet your Thriller could beat you in a foot race.
Brady
Well, before we make him any angrier, let's hop on over to the top right square. You know, it's Trump.
Dick Toledo
That's exactly right. The right square. The presidential square. I want a beautiful square. What a great square. I just changed some names to things of America again. It's pretty great. I call Mexico Little America down there. That's a nice one. I like that. The Caribbean is now known as the American Sea. Oh, I like that a lot. I think that's really good.
Brady
Even the land parts.
Dick Toledo
Okay. Why not? They're my bitch, too. Why not? I'll just do that. The Department of Justice is now called Trump's Rehabilitation for Liberal Lefties. We're gonna take care of a lot of people. It's gonna be great. Filled by liberal tears. A lot of them. A lot of them, yeah. Filled with the tears of a liberal. In fact, Elon Musk is working on that right now. But they don't want the electric cars. They're bombing the Tesla. So you know what Elon's done? He's a very smart man. He's taken the tears of the liberals at all of these rallies and he's made it fuel. He's made it fuel for his brand new environmental car. Incredible. Keep crying, Libs, because we'll keep doing. You keep burning down Tesla, he'll keep making things out of you. I've made everyone my bitch, Brady. And I'm gonna run for a Third term? Why not? I'm gonna start today. Let's do this. I'm gonna get reelected again now for another four years. At the end of this, I don't sleep. I'm on meth. I'm always up and I'm always mad. It's a wonderful thing. Meth is the secret. Meth is the secret. I'm up on that. I'm always up. I'm always doing stuff. It.
Brady
You don't let it get to you, do you?
Dick Toledo
I don't let anything get to me. Thriller. I don't let it like you. I look around and I see everybody and I'm like, what? Thrillers. An overcomer. And I say that because that was his nickname in high school. Peeping into the girls locker room. Belated happy birthday.
Brady
I was. I didn't see. No one saw that.
Dick Toledo
Belated happy birthday to me. To baron. Oh, turn 19. Baron turned 19 and grew a foot. We got him. We got. How is he now? 16ft tall. It's unbelievable. He's an unbelievably tall boy.
Brady
I'm amazed that he was able turn on a laptop.
Dick Toledo
Well, because he has to bend way down there. He can barely see. It looks barely. His fingers are so big. A laptop blows up in his hands. You've never seen anyone bigger. And only. Only my sperms can make such a giant human being who breathes fire. You'll see. He's a weapon of war. He's gonna go over to Ukraine and just sweep it away like a risk board. It's gonna be unbelievable.
Brady
Anyway, well, thank you for your time there. And now let's hop on over to the other side of political spectrum here, middle left square, Bernie Sanders.
Dick Toledo
What I can't believe is you just let that guy rat. I don't know how many minutes about. Take your mittens off. I am very cold. I'm very old. It's very cold after my mittens out all the time. Yesterday I was here at asu. Did you go to my rally?
Brady
Yes.
Dick Toledo
Not a comp. Okay. I was over there with aoc. We had a wonderful time. And just people are asking, did you stay in the same hotel room? Yes, we did. And you know what we do? We get a little bit drunk over at asu. It's very fun. It's fun. We talk to a lot of communists. Party school.
Brady
Yes.
Dick Toledo
And then. And then I went down on her and performed Commonus. That's where communists have oral sex. I remember seeing that on the billboard. Communists having oral sex is common lingus. And the Best thing is, right before anybody climaxes, we just stop because nobody's allowed to have any fun at all. It's pretty great. We were at asu. Fight the oligarchy.
Brady
At least that way it's equal.
Dick Toledo
Though.
Brady
She did the same thing to you, right?
Dick Toledo
Yes. She went down on me and blue balled me to death. Because we're left with blue states. That's why they call them that. But we do that. Blue, but not all the way. I gotta tell you, it's hard to travel with her. She's very. She's a very attractive young lady. A little thicker than I expected. That's what I like. I like them thick. I like a juicy broad. I like. I like. I like a broad with some juice on them. You know why? Juice. Not. Well, I do like that too. I got a little anatomy as well, but I like a little cardi b action on my broads. I like something to hang on to, you know, in case I fall off. Once I get that inertia going, there's a good chance I'll just fly off the bed. Oh, but comma lingus. Try it tonight.
Brady
It's what's for dinner.
Dick Toledo
That's when. Right? Right. When you have an orgasm. You describe. Fight the oligarchy.
Brady
Fight the oligarchy.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, I painted her chin. Fight the oligarchy. Oh, here comes the oligarchy.
Brady
Off to the middle square we go. We have Brady, who has a guest this time I brought a guest.
Dick Toledo
Oh, it's a birthday boy, a friend of mine. He's my in with Jesus.
Brady
Really?
Dick Toledo
Yeah, he's up. He's in heaven. P. Rob, Come on down here.
Brady
Oh, it was his birthday.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, it's been a while since I've been here. Pat Robertson all the way from heaven. I think it's heaven. It's awfully warm. How is it? Is it? It's nice. O and I sit on the patio every day and search for the real killers.
Brady
How's that going so far?
Dick Toledo
Look, it's not bad. And I gotta tell you, this Thriller kid is an absolute gem. What a great addition to the program that he's become. Despite being one of God's heirs, he's lived his life and he just keeps on trucking. And that's pretty awesome. I think when the Lord makes a mistake like Thriller, a lot of times they throw them away. A liberal would have just tossed them right in the Planned Parenthood trash.
Brady
Now, they had no idea beforehand.
Dick Toledo
Well, that's a shame, but I'd have done it after you came out so y'all crooked, but it doesn't matter. I checked. What. What year did I die? Like 20? 18, 19. Got out right before America went crazy. Chopping their dicks off and running around saying, I'm a girl, I'm a boy. And picking and choosing. I don't like it. He died in 23.
Brady
It was recent.
Dick Toledo
Been a while. I'm so fresh. I don't remember being alone those last three or four years. But it's probably about as fresh as he was when he died. Brady remains one of my favorite members. Still mostly hates gays and does what I do. That's right.
Brady
That's why I'm here in the first place.
Dick Toledo
Are you hanging out with Mother Teresa up there? Oh, she's. She's with me as well. She's down there with Papa Doc Chevalier and a couple of the murderers. It's a wonderful place. Heaven. The redemption's unbelievable. I'm having the time of my life listening to music I never listened to before, like the Doors. And it's great fun. We'll see you down there. Thriller. Because you're not gonn. God doesn't want to face his errors. So when you go, he's just going to send you south because I told.
Brady
You no the first time.
Dick Toledo
That's exactly right. He tried to kill you and he didn't finish. And now you come out all like a swastika. And that's okay. Brady. Yes. I'm so sorry Porkopolis didn't work out. I like to open restaurants that Jews aren't allowed in, too.
Brady
We're always happy to have you there, Pat. Let's hop on over now to the middle right square for some basketball action. Charles Barkley here with us.
Dick Toledo
Real crazy, crazy basketball action. Not the stuff you're doing over on Caduce, the boys basketball. We're showing that this week. We're gonna have it all. Who you have in your bracket there? Thriller.
Brady
Well, I was initially hoping a little more from Arizona. Not gonna lie.
Dick Toledo
That's crazy. That's hometown stupidity.
Brady
I just, you know, they have the pieces.
Dick Toledo
Arizona gonna lose to the Zips. Yeah. Yeah. Brett's Brett's favorite basketball team by a long shot. Brett. Brett's crazy. He always said, I want the Zips to be the national champions. And I said, at what? And he said, mash. That said, brett, that is not the game we was playing. That's math. Auburn going to win all of it. Okay, finally. It's been a long time since Auburn won. I've been to Auburn. I was going To Auburn as a kid. They're going to win it all. And there's no reason to think otherwise. If it doesn't win, it's rigged. Okay, yeah, that's what I say. But I'm going to try some of that Kingus. I've never done that before. I've never had oral sex with a communist before, but that sound good?
Brady
It'll be different for you. But now let's hop on over to the bottom left square. Brady Secret square. Give us a hint.
Dick Toledo
Yeah. I'm 58 years old today, in 1993. My wife cut my dong off with a ginsu. That was 93. 93, man. It made you kind of gruff. Yeah, a little deeper, gravelly. I expected a little bit higher than that. You know why? Nine and a half hours later, they reattached my penis. What was the nine and a half hours? They had to find it in a field. Yeah, well, they dug around, put it in some saline and ice. They were kicking high grass. Yeah. Farmer found it in the field. Thank God. Thought somebody threw a chicken cutlet out a car window and reattached it. And I did a couple of porns. That's right. Franken Penis. It's very good. Very good work, sir. Thank you. Appreciate that.
Brady
It's a good Halloween marathon.
Dick Toledo
Watch jwb, as I like to call. You hear the words you say sometimes.
Brady
I mean, who talks like that?
Dick Toledo
98. KUPD. Holmberg's Morning Sickness.
Brady
Alrighty, now to the bottom middle square. We have William Shatner joining us.
Dick Toledo
Tomorrow. 94 years old, and I plan on celebrating by just being alive. I wake up. That's a gift. I didn't know we could talk to John while we were on the air. I didn't realize Jason Tatum broke the fourth wall. Hi, Bill. Hi. I'm coming back in October. Will you help me host November 13th at the Orpheum Theater? I was gonna do that, but I didn't remember the date. Hey, thank you, Toledo. I want to be a father figure to you. And by that I mean I want to leave right now. Yeah, I was gonna say, I noticed. You're gonna watch the Wrath of Khan again. We'll watch the Wrath of Khan again. I don't remember seeing it ever. Give me the love.
Brady
It what matters most.
Dick Toledo
I have to take a nap now.
Brady
Yeah, 94. You'll do that.
Dick Toledo
94. Knocks out when you try to yell.
Brady
All right. Ending off here. Our bottom right squirrel. You know it. It's trip. Rebar. Lord Savior.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Happy end. Wow. I Got three grand in my pocket and I'm heading over to Four Peaks with the boys later. And we're gonna play that kick ass gambling game. Black or white, who hits the next shot? Who wants 50 bucks? Yeah. I took my baby on a Saturday Bang and back both. You were one and the same. I believe in miracles. Miracle is happening at Fort Peaks if you're thinking about being my baby. It don't matter if you're black or white. Unless you're black. You have to have Brett's inner monologue. That was just for you, Brett. Thank you. I know my audience. Free hoods for the kids.
Brady
I at least hope that you guys have fun this afternoon.
Dick Toledo
Well, thank you, Thriller. Now get to work over there covering rising soccer.
Brady
I was gonna ask.
Dick Toledo
They pay tens of dollars to be on that station.
Brady
We're happy to have them.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, yeah, we're happy to have anybody. To be honest, that thing's in a death spiral. Anyway, on with the show.
Brady
Who do we have this time?
Dick Toledo
We got Adam and Matt, since we couldn't find another. You got a guy who says he'll bring you sambucum. Homemade sambukum. That's what I heard. Yeah, I had an idea. No, it's. I couldn't find a broad, so we figure. What the hell? Adam, are you there? What's up, boss? Yes. Don't boss me. Get off. Get off. Excellent. Get off. Speakerphone. Employee and then Adam. And who's the other one? Matt. No, who's on speakerphone? Turn your radio down. That's Matt. All right, stop it. Brett told you. Yeah, I got it off speaker. And you said you have sambuca for Brett. You make at home? Yeah, yeah, it's a.
Brady
It's a family recipe.
Dick Toledo
Homemade sambuka. I gotta move. All right. See, I couldn't find a broad. I gotta get a guy. Come on. Adam and Matt, right? Adam, you're the girl today. You go first. Pick a square.
Brady
Let's do Trumpler. Okay, let's start with Trumpler.
Dick Toledo
I think it just called me Hitler and Trump. You know what? It's time I embraced it. You're right. No big deal. No big deal at all. I'll put a stop to whatever it is you do. Where do you work there? Adam, what's your job? I do H Vacs. Just got doged. We don't need it anymore. Elon, over to whatever you do. And I'm ending it. I don't think I like it. I think Elon can come up with a better way to turn your radio Down. Stop being a jackass. Whoever has it up, that's all. Anyway, you've been dozed. Bulldozed, as I like to call it. Much like I'm gonna. You know what they call that? That's the lunch special over at Title 9 Sports Bar. The bulldozed Shovel it right into your Big Bob. All right, go ahead.
Brady
Question for you here. Because painting took too long. Colors. All four bottle T's came in black.
Dick Toledo
Only came in black only. Just like Robert De Niro only comes in black. Good one. That's a good one. I tell all the jokes now. Telling dirty jokes. Blue working blue. Somebody just crashed. I think. I think Thrillers Iron Lung just gave out. I don't want to say, but. What? Your Tesla is on fire. It'll warn you on your phone. I'll say that's true. Model T's were only in black because people were dumb back then.
Brady
All right, you're saying true now. Adam, do you agree or disagree with true?
Dick Toledo
I agree.
Brady
You? That's correct. Gets the square on that one. Landing a plane. Sounds like Jesus.
Dick Toledo
And somebody calling from a hot air balloon. It's one of the Chinese. I think it's a Chinese.
Brady
All right, off to Matt. Make your selection.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, I'll go with John Bobby. Oh, he goes for the secret square by name.
Brady
Look at that. Okay. Okay.
Dick Toledo
Did you know that Thriller?
Brady
No.
Dick Toledo
You didn't know the John Wayne Bobby? Yeah. Well, there he is.
Brady
Oh, I can tell.
Dick Toledo
What's up, dude? That's right.
Brady
I mean, back to Adam real quick.
Dick Toledo
He's a frat boy. Adam, who are you picking? Oh, let's do Captain Kirk.
Brady
Okay.
Dick Toledo
Got picked by him. Don't want to doze you. I love air conditioning, but not too much. Keep the house around 80 degrees. The Enterprise gets a little chilly unless it's under 80. Is a little hot, isn't it? A little hot for you, but I'm 94 years old. 100 degrees is about optimum. Every time it gets under 80. Go and get me a blanket.
Brady
Do you remember when you were under 80?
Dick Toledo
14 years ago? My time over 80 can almost drive.
Brady
Oh, all right. I got a question for you then. During World War II, the only American money accepted in Mexico were coins and two dollar bills.
Dick Toledo
I have to tell you, Brady just handed me a great joke. I've given up on green women and replaced them with green jello. Oh, that's an AIDS joke.
Brady
Oh, it's the same thing with your tongue.
Dick Toledo
I'll say true.
Brady
All right, you're saying true. Adam, do you Agree or disagree with true?
Dick Toledo
Disagree.
Brady
Disagree. That is incorrect, then. So that goes to Matt, and Matt could win with Trip.
Dick Toledo
Oh, I'm definitely taking trips. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, for the dub. We're going for the chip. The trip chip. I took my baby on a Saturday. Bang. What? Larry, I'm gonna play black or white at Four Peaks today. If you want to combine, try to win money. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Ask me the question.
Brady
Thriller.
Dick Toledo
I've got money burning a hole in my pocket.
Brady
Okay, the plural of the word focus is foci.
Dick Toledo
Ooh. I don't think you can say that on the radio.
Brady
Those are your favorite words, right?
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah. I love that one. Who's gonna hit the first shot of the next game? Black guy or white guy? 100 bucks. I'll say Trip Reebs, black or white? $3,000 today at Four Peaks. 3,000. That's right. Yeah, black, white, or other will play.
Brady
Yo, hold on.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, and then some other race puts up a triple, and you owe me three grand. Guys, watching Akron play today.
Brady
Triple.
Dick Toledo
Watch Akron. I got a greyhound in my hand and my toes in the sand, and all I need is a woman. Understand? I'll say true folk eye.
Brady
All right, so you're saying true. Now, Matt for the win, do you agree or disagree with true?
Dick Toledo
I. I'd have to agree with Tripp, man. He's a man.
Brady
Okay, if you agree. That's correct.
Dick Toledo
And a winner. Yes. 20 bucks for you. Sambuca for me. Yeah. Nice job.
Brady
How does that payment work out?
Dick Toledo
And free sambuca for bread. It's got to be illegal. Yeah. Brett and I'll wander around and go, all right, who hits the next shot for Gonzaga? The kid that looks like the lumberjack or the Twinkie one. And you have to be more specific with Gonzaga on the Twinkie one. All right, I'm out of here.
Brady
Best of luck to him.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, There you go. Trip's got that money burning a hole. Oh, he's ready to go. He's ready to go Jacked up. You get sambuca from some guy's kitchen. What? The guy wouldn't call. What do you. The chicks weren't calling. What do you want me to do? All we heard was, no, we needed. I said, no, I need a girl. When I'm hearing him screen the calls. No, I need a girl. You'll do what? Homemade sambuca. If you've ever had sambuca, you know exactly. Amazing how bad it is and why anybody would. Amazing. But it's have you ever had sambuca? Oh, remember that shot we gave you for your birthday a few weeks ago?
Brady
Yes.
Dick Toledo
Add black licorice. Oh, yeah, exactly.
Brady
Yeah. I thought it was meat.
Dick Toledo
Yeah. Osobuca is a steak kind of thing. But sambuca is black licorice.
Brady
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Ouzo. Same kind of crap. Awful. And they light it on fire in hopes that it kills them. Why do they put coffee beans in it? Because it doesn't is bad enough if you. If you could imagine past, present and future. Right, right. Yeah. Because you're dealing with a time warp here. It's the grossest. It's the grossest thing. And Brett, I had dinner with him once and he goes, sambuk. Like, what? And then the guy knew what he was saying and he brought us glasses and he lit him on fire so he knew we were in a real place. Then he understood. I didn't know any. Comes by, he goes, that's all the waiter said. And then he comes back and these glasses are in flames. And I'm like, what am I supposed to do with this? Past, present, future. And he holds it up and then other guys. Guys move their noses. Somebody cut their hand. There was a small, like, ceremony. Two guys kissed. And then we drank black licorice.
Brady
How romantic.
Dick Toledo
So gross. Yeah. And then they drink it and it's like something great happened. Meanwhile, everybody who's not Italians over looks like Tracy Morgan. Enjoy your fentanyl on the rocks, Brett. It's. Yeah, that's. It is. It is. It's kitchen meth in liquid form. And you're gonna get it made by a guy. They sell it in restaurants and they sell it in stores. Why would you want somebody's homemade sambo? Uncle Vito's probably making it, you know. Come on. Family recipe. Yeah. You gotta let the urine fermate for a while. If you don't keep it in the windowsill, it don't ferment. And then you can't have good sambuk. And then you grind up the black licorice and neat. And you know why they do it? Is because the first guy that drank it would light that bottle on fire. I will. We gotta get you one there, Thriller.
Brady
All right.
Dick Toledo
You're gonna hate it.
Brady
I probably will.
Dick Toledo
Yeah. You gotta learn the hard way sometimes. That's it. Brett's going out to the NHRA. The race is tomorrow. From 9:30 till like 12:30 or so. The races will keep you alive. That's gonna be an awesome thing. Thriller's got nothing to do. 13 hour day tomorrow?
Brady
Well, there's a break in the middle, technically. So it's like between soccer games. So it's six for some morning shows, a six hour break, then six, back on for the night.
Dick Toledo
So in the middle of your day, you got six hours to do nothing?
Brady
Yep.
Dick Toledo
All right. Contemplate suicide. I'd rather go to Jonestown. Yeah, I would. Start mixing that Sambuca with some Kool Aid. Oh, my God. I'd improve it, actually. So you start at like 5 in the morning, go till like 11:30, get home about 12, nap till 5. Yep. Wake up, come here and listen to soccer on the radio.
Brady
Yes, sir. I love my job.
Dick Toledo
And of course you get overtime for this.
Brady
A little bit. And they get mad about that. I'm kidding.
Dick Toledo
Just leave it potted up. Nobody's going to know this. No one's going to know I'm kidding. They're fine. Don't ding me, please. Please don't ding me. Do you get overtime?
Brady
I do, actually, yeah.
Dick Toledo
Oh, okay. Do they know that?
Brady
They do.
Dick Toledo
You sure?
Brady
They give Chris a lot of flag. They're like, hey, why is it still. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Because, got to be honest with the Thriller. We've had conversations with people deeming know you worked here.
Brady
It's like, isn't he just like a minority hire? Technically.

I hope to see you next week.
