[Richie McKay]

One of the viral moments of the March Madness was Liberty basketball's head coach, Richie McKay. He painted his front bangs on and it went viral just recently. Yeah, they played in the tournament. They. They lost.

[John]

Jeez. Oh, it's his hairline. Yeah, his hair.

[Richie McKay]

Front hairline is using the.

[John]

He's lost his hair in the front. He's got a little left. So he did the spray paint to get a hairline and that's. And he left it too puffy. That's no good. Who's he coaching? Liberty? Isn't that a religious school?

[Richie McKay]

Yeah. Shouldn't I told him, Isn't that God's.

[John]

Plan for your hair fall?

[Richie McKay]

Well, I think.

[John]

Or yeah, it's one of them. Yeah, shave it. Just shave it. Exactly.

[Brady]

We're done.

[John]

It's over. Trust me. There's nothing you can do about it. Once it's that once you start putting some earl sh on the skin, it's like you have to admit people will notice that. I always wonder about guys who do that. They paint their scalps. And I'm like, before you started doing that, didn't you like me make fun of everyone who did? Weren't you in on it? And then for some reason something happens to where these guys will paint their heads and they think no one's gonna notice that I'm doing it. Toupees and scalp paint doesn't work. Steven Seagal's oh, he's just got shoe polish on his head. Gene Simmons hair. I don't know what that is. I don't know if that's. That's so, that's so bad. It might be his.

[Richie McKay]

You can scrub dishes with it though.

[John]

It gets, it's ridiculously thick for an old man.

[Richie McKay]

George Clooney is done being a sick sex symbol.

[John]

A sick sex symbol.

[Richie McKay]

Sex symbol. He said, yeah, 63 years old, he says, I'm not trying to compete with the 25 year old leading men. It's not my job. I'm not doing romantic films anymore. He was on an interview with 60 Minutes and the president, who watches every interview out there, knows anyone that was slamming him beforehand happened to catch that interview. And he chimed in, called Clooney a second rate movie star and a failed political Pundit.

[Donald Trump]

I was watching 60 Minutes as I was bombing Yemen and I turned on 60 Minutes to see if they knew about it. And I see George Clooney. Brady Clooney's talking about me. I get you always talk about, always talk about me, Brady. And there I was thinking, second rate actor, can't get. Can't get away from it.

[John]

Bill Maher is going to the White House.

[Richie McKay]

How about that?

[John]

I don't know if they'll meet or if they'll be on each other's podcasts. I don't know if Trump's doing that yet, but he should.

[Donald Trump]

I knew you'd be back, Bill. You tried to sue me. Because I. I tried. I tried to sue you, actually, I called you. Well, yeah, because you called me the mother of an orangutan. And that's not true. That's not a real thing. It's not a very real thing at all. But Brady, I tell you this, he's gonna be there. All of them come for Trump, all of them eventually crawl back and bend the knee. And that's what Bill Maher is going to do. He's going to bend the knee. He'll be in my office, he'll be bending the knee. I'll say you knew. You knew the whole time. Bend the knee, Brady. You should do it now. Bend them both, in fact.

[Richie McKay]

There you go.

[John]

Brady, can get down on your knees.

[Donald Trump]

Is what I'm saying. It'll let you blow me.

[Richie McKay]

There's a weird conspiracy theory. It's been floating around for years that it's about Joan Benet.

[Dick Toledo]

Who?

[Richie McKay]

Joan Benet Ramsay. JonBenet.

[Dick Toledo]

French.

[John]

Joan Benet is different. She was a French woman from the age.

[Richie McKay]

JonBenet.

[John]

Yeah, there you go.

[Brady]

We should have left with the other morning.

[Richie McKay]

Conjunction. Her parents said in conjunction with the Illuminati, faked her death and hid away so she could resurface years later as Katy Perry.

[John]

Hold on, I've heard this before. A six year old in 1996 had made the decision. Hey, I'm gonna check out a society for a while and I'm gonna come back as superstar. And it worked.

[Richie McKay]

The Illuminati talked her into it.

[John]

Sure, sure. And it worked.

[Brady]

So Amelia Earhart flew her out of Denver, where they met up with Jim Morrison and they're hanging out for a little while.

[John]

Exactly right, Frank, you mean?

[Brady]

No, that's right, Frank. From. From Syracuse.

[John]

That's right. Or whatever. Yeah, they're all faking it. But six year olds have that kind of powers. Like I'm six My future's bright, but I don't want anybody to see me for a while. And then I'm gonna just show up and be a super huge pop star. Does super bowl and stuff.

[Richie McKay]

So last month, someone posted a video using AI to transform JonBenet into Katie and using that picture from the song Wide Awake. The video.

[John]

Sure.

[Richie McKay]

And Katie actually commented on the post saying. Wait, am I funny?

[John]

No, no, it's not.

[Richie McKay]

She looks like. I mean, they. The. The AI.

[John]

AI is gonna make me look like you. And I know you already believe that's true.

[Brady]

That's true, you guys.

[Richie McKay]

For years.

[John]

Yeah, I know.

[Donald Trump]

See, you could get confused. Don't you commit any crimes. They'll throw me in lockup.

[Dick Toledo]

I would like to see you shave that goatee and do a porn mustache like John did.

[John]

Yeah, do that for a minute. He did Andy Reid. He turns into Andy Reid.

[Dick Toledo]

That one was fake.

[John]

No, just a mustache. He's Andy Bushier. I look like Gay Johnny Sins and he looks like Andy Reid.

[Dick Toledo]

The best one was. Even you pointed it out. The still shot of you on the welcome screen.

[John]

Oh, my God. I didn't know who it was. Me with the mustache. We got a big screen in the front. I'm just sitting there talking. And the thing. And I'm like, who the hell's that? That's me with a mustache. Didn't know it. I had that for three days. I had to get rid of it.

[Richie McKay]

Lizzo is going to star in a biopic about Sister Rosetta Tharp, gospel singer who became famous in the 30s and 40s. She's often referred to as the godmother of rock and roll.

[John]

Who is it?

[Richie McKay]

Sister Rosetta Tharp. And she did a song in 1944 called Strange Things. Strange Things Happening Every Day. It's considered by some to be the first rock and roll hit or record.

[John]

Okay.

[Richie McKay]

Wasn't a hit, but she blew up in the 30s and 40s. Influenced everyone from Chuck Berry, Little Richard, even Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton. We have a clip, but I saw a picture. Yeah, they. They do have a.

[John]

So they're saying she's the. She started rock and roll.

[Richie McKay]

She kind of took gospel lyrics and played it to election.

[John]

That's what it was, right? All right. Okay. I'll take your word for it.

[Richie McKay]

And she. The movie takes place at a time where she's preparing for the first ever stadium show in music history.

[John]

This is the song.

[Donald Trump]

Happening every day.

[John]

It's the old bluesy rock.

[Richie McKay]

You think she'd be upset that probably.

[John]

Oh, I'd be mad if Lizzo was playing. She's not that big. She's skinny in that picture. Lizzo can't play her.

[Brady]

Is Beyonce playing her now?

[John]

Hold on. She gets bigger, turns into jelly roll at the end. Oh, my goodness. That's a mountain of a woman.

[Richie McKay]

Sister Rosetta.

[John]

Thick, right? Interesting.

[Brady]

It's like young Elvis and old Elvis.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Man.

[John]

Did she die on the toilet?

[Brady]

I'm sure she's eating a sandwich, too.

[John]

Lizzo's still got to slim down to play her fat, huh? Never heard of that lady. All right, anything else?

[Richie McKay]

Former UFC star Kane Velasquez.

[John]

Oh, he's going to jail for bad.

[Richie McKay]

Five years trying to kill the man who allegedly molested four year old son. Yeah, that man goes to trial in June.

[John]

However, he chased him. Yeah, yeah, he went after the guy. Instead of just letting it go, he vengefully attacked.

[Dick Toledo]

Later, we saw the video of him.

[John]

Chasing in this truck, but it was. Yeah, it was endangering a lot of other people. He needed that. When he was in the studio with us, there was an air of careful. This guy could go.

[Dick Toledo]

His fight with Brock Lesnar. He beat him.

[John]

Oh, he's a bad man. There's no question. Brown pride written on him. And I even asked him, like, is that okay? Yes. Okay. That's the perfect answer for me. That's it. We're all done. Larry's coming up next, all worn out from his girlfriend. His thumbs have gotten.

[Dick Toledo]

Did you treat him right? Yes.

[John]

Thumbs are killing him. Lady's wearing his ass out. She's gorgeous, by the way. Larry is winning. I love that girl. She'll bake them bread and everything. All you got to do is ask. Larry's coming up next. You guys have yourselves a great Tuesday. We'll see you tomorrow right here in the morning sickness. Until later. Bye. It's out of control now.
