2. Rant on The Masked Singer

The conversation takes a sharp turn as Brett Vesely launches into a passionate critique of The Masked Singer. The hosts express their disdain for the show's premise, questioning its appeal to both children and adults.

Key Discussion Points:

• Lack of Appeal: Brett argues that revealing celebrities unknown to the younger audience undermines the show's entertainment value.
• Celebrity Reveals: The hosts mock the choice of celebrities who appear on the show, such as Flavor Flav and Candace Cameron Bure, questioning their relevance and appeal.

• Brady (11:12): "He always does."
• Bret Vesely (12:00): "He guessed George Clooney. The guy under the mask was Flavor Flav. That's how bad you miss."

3. Debate on the Discovery of the Ark of the Covenant

Time Stamp: 17:50 - 48:58

The latter half of the episode intensifies as the hosts delve into the sensational claim that the CIA has located the Ark of the Covenant. This revelation sparks a heated debate about the artifact's existence, its supposed paranormal powers, and the implications for global religions and conflicts.

[Brett Vesely]

There it is. Miles to nowhere. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. That is Katie and Hobbs. We all know them. Theme song. Everybody keeps emailing. They love that theme song. Said yesterday was so horrible for Brady's brother, the worst part of the agenda was he was also asked to work the wagon of the boss sauce on the corner of Germaine in Alma School. I got a little sauce thing I got to do here at 5 o'clock over here to work that. You sell street sauce? Yeah. And every time Brady gives you a safe word, it gets confusing, too. Because sometimes the safe word is Culver's. And then he gets confused, he actually takes you there. Culver's. Culver's.

[John Holmberg]

That's not a bad idea.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, no, he's forgotten.

[John Holmberg]

What were the other choices? Like canes. And there was.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, canes, because it's Kirby.

[Brady]

In and out. Chick fil A. But the lines were, you know, longer.

[Brett Vesely]

Hey, Brady, the only thing that can make this worse, if you took Tom to the dolly steamboat today, boy, could you imagine? What would you rather do, Brady?

[Brady]

I'd be all over that.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man, he'd jump in with rocks in his pockets. What would you rather do, Brett? LPGA golf tournament or dolly steamboat? I know it's. It's Sophie's Choice. Except for there's no love. Wow.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe lpga. And I thought I'd never say that, but man, that dolly steamboat. I think about how far you had to drive to get there. And the geriatric crew. Yeah, you would.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man. No, I'm going. Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Because at least I can.

[John Holmberg]

At least I can hang out with Russ and get free food with Brady.

[Brett Vesely]

I guess I can do that every day.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you're giving me one or the other. I would do neither. I mean, that's, you know.

[Brett Vesely]

No, I know. But yeah, I feel like it. If, you know, if there's an exit.

[Brady]

You'Re talking about, you know, the drive out to the steam after you hammer in the steamboat.

[Brett Vesely]

It's easy LPGA golf. Yeah.

[Brady]

Cuz it's not as much.

[John Holmberg]

You have no idea how much I want to drive my car off those ledges getting up there.

[Brett Vesely]

Maybe I'd do the LPGA because it's so close to a casino. Really?

[Katie]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Well, then there's a setup.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, Brady. Nice setups as far as.

[Brady]

You're right.

[Brett Vesely]

But Hitler had nice setups.

[Brady]

I still don't want to go five minutes away.

[Brett Vesely]

See, but you say nice setup like that's the sell. If there's like an Aryan Nation meeting and they have a great kitchen, it's still. You don't want to go.

[Brady]

It's a great setup.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I'd rather go to the Aryan Nation event. At least it's got some entertaining speeches. LPGA golf is the worst sporting event you could drag me to the worst. Oh, I can't even. I can't imagine sitting there and trying to feign interest in that at all. Oh, there you go. Oh, you got more.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, right here.

[Brett Vesely]

Huh?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, you're playing so. Oh, you're doing the thing. God damn it. I knew you'd bring.

[John Holmberg]

So what do you want to do?

[Brett Vesely]

I'd go to the Steamboat. No, I go to the Steamboat.

[John Holmberg]

I had the song on a loop.

[Brett Vesely]

I couldn't. I. Yeah, I can't do this now, but I go, man, maybe you might be swinging. Yeah. I don't think I could get to watch girls golf and not become suicidal after like 25 minutes. I can have food everywhere. So I'm not like you are drawn by a food spread to an event. I know how much food there is in this city.

[Brady]

That was my first time.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I know. There's a reason.

[John Holmberg]

But there's a lot more booze at the LPGA than there is. I mean, I'm not. I mean, they're serving high balls and whatever else. And ensure on the dolly.

[Brett Vesely]

Steamboat. I don't know. That's a tough call. Steamboat or lpga.

[Brady]

It got the all.

[John Holmberg]

And again, you don't have to drive.

[Brady]

As far trophy working the bar.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, there you go.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, someone within 30 years of your age. Unlike the dollar. That's a good point.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man. Yeah. I still though you say the hot bartender that gives out drinks there at the lpga. I don't know. I just watch mountain goats roast in the sun.

[Brady]

But there's a chance you might not see them.

[Brett Vesely]

No, that's fine.

[Brady]

They usually push them out. They usually open the pen. Okay. Boat's going by.

[Katie]

Both.

[Brett Vesely]

Both events are void of joy. Oh, yeah, man, that's tough. I. I really would. That might be a coin flip to save a life.

[John Holmberg]

If the saw guy came out and did that.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, if you did it. If you said saw, your mother will be killed unless you enjoy one of the two following events. LPGA Golf. There's free chicken fingers. Or the dolly steamboat free sprites. Bye, Mom.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly. That was a good run, Mom.

[Brett Vesely]

Would you like to play a game? Sure. Is there LPGA involved? Because if that. Let's just not waste our time and kill whoever we're shooting for here. Just cut their heads off. If LPGA is involved. Are you going back this weekend?

[Brady]

I don't think so.

[Brett Vesely]

You would consider it a second run? Yeah.

[Brady]

The tournament play, Maybe.

[Brett Vesely]

Why?

[Brady]

Well, yeah, the setup's good for food.

[Brett Vesely]

So you go back for the meat green.

[Brady]

You can see the 17T.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. But on the 17th tee is a bunch of girl golfers you don't care about.

[Brady]

And if I know some of the people going back there, like going out.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, no.

[Brady]

It's like going to a bar.

[Brett Vesely]

No, it's not. It's like going to a bar that no one wants to go to. It's like going to Title 9, the only show Girlfriend. Yeah, it's. No. Completely the same thing.

[Brady]

No, because that's not the bar.

[Brett Vesely]

It's live Title nine. You don't know if there was a hot bartender at Title nine. You'd go to watch WNBA games. That's what you're saying. For free food. Yeah, I'd go there for free meals. And a bartender that gives you a little extra attention because she thinks you're just a bald lesbian. I mean, if we put Brady in one of those little, you know, bob haircut, silken black wigs, you'd look just like all the LPGA golfers. You would.

[Brady]

It's not that bad.

[Brett Vesely]

It is that bad. I've watched the winners. It's all Korean flags and a bunch of girls that look like Brady. This guy said, did I see Brady golfing at Ocotillo on Tuesday? So I saw a guy in a range wearing a bucket hat. Said, he's looking a little plump. If that was him, it was his tummy that I noticed first. Was that you?

[Brady]

I was at.

[Brett Vesely]

In a bucket hat?

[Brady]

I was wearing, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Say Hi to him. Next time, don't just make fun. This one says, john, listening to your plea about the Diamondbacks.

[Brady]

You just did that for my brother.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, he noticed. Said, you just did the impossible. You made me a devout Diamondbacks fan in the span of one minute. Go D backs. That's right. I'll bring this city to its knees with Diamondback fandom by putting my literal ass on the line, saying, I will get a tattoo of the Diamondbacks logo from the neck to my ass. And I like what Brady said right there under the A batter up on my. My tramp stamp spot. If the Diamondbacks do better than the Dodgers this year, not even just in the standings, they can lose the division, but do more in the playoffs. Go further than the diamond or the Dodgers in the playoffs. I will tattoo the Diamondbacks logo on my. And my. I'll put a little one on my head and then one on my back and one on my lower back. That's it. That would be fantastic work.

[Brady]

Would look good.

[Brett Vesely]

I think so. But Ben is now a Diamondbacks fan because he's rooting against me. Just phenomenal. This one says, hey, John, how about we mix it up a little bit? You get the tattoo of the very first Diamondbacks mascot ever, drew hey, better. 6:52am, March 27, 2025. Mark it down. The A has now turned into Brady as Drew, hey, Better. From the bottom of my neck to my ass with Batter up written underneath. Done. All they have to do is be better than the Dodgers at the end of. All right. You got any pictures of you as Drew Hey, Better. That would be flattering. On my back.

[Brady]

No, no, not flattering. That's a tough one to order, that.

[Brett Vesely]

Could you pose once for me and try to do a few. And then we'll just get some shots, some headshots done.

[Brady]

I have a couple of pictures.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. So, John, your theory about the Suns yesterday morning was absolutely right. You started to talk about leaving, and then she stopped wearing sweatpants and dirty shirts until you paid attention to her again. The sex was back. It's like the potential of what could have been showed up for four nights got me all excited. I washed my balls for last night's game. I knew the Suns were gonna show up. And how does she show up? Dirty sweatpants and a shirt telling me, is sex all you think about? That's exactly what it was. The girl that was kind of like, hey, what happened? I thought we were.

[Katie]

Ugh.

[Brett Vesely]

And then you're like, well, I'm gonna leave then. And now she turns it back on. Oh, you can perform. You do look good when you try. Yeah, of course I do. Oh, little mouth hug, little handy dandy. Get a couple of those old fashions in the car on the way home. Suddenly, this old broad who had high potential at the beginning of the year, looked good again. And once you said, you know what? I'm back in. Right back to the sweatpants and your dirty shirt. And the Celtics made sure to make her look like the non trying girl that you've had in your hands for a while. Boy, that game last night was brutal. Rough. Absolutely rough. Brady sent me this yesterday and I saw it another thing, too. But the. Oh, before we get into that, you talked about this. This morning I got an email from somebody that said, are you still watching the Masked Singer? And ironically, a couple weeks ago, I did. And I still. I beg to. I beg to anyone watching this show, who is this for? Who in the world? Who is this for? If it's for kids, why do we reveal who's under the mask? Because who's under the mask is never somebody a kid knows.

[John Holmberg]

It's never anybody.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, yeah, it's never anybody. Like Anna Gasteyer was the one when I said the first time, like, no kid watching the show cares that the. The puppet took its head off. And to reveal mid-90s middling Saturday night Live character Anna Gastire, no kid knew they'd rather just have the thing sing again. You know, have Bumblebee sing again, have Ladybug sing again.

[Brady]

But the guesses.

[Brett Vesely]

But the guesses for the one the other night, and this is how bad the show is. Dr. Ken is on there, and he's standing on the table screaming, I know who it is. I know who it is. And he starts to rattle off whatever the clues were, and he goes, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's George Clooney. Now, first off, there's no, absolutely no way George Clooney is gonna be on the Masked Singer.

[John Holmberg]

He always does.

[Brett Vesely]

His career is.

[Brady]

He guessed high and he's not joking.

[Brett Vesely]

Do you know who it was, Brett.

[Brady]

Or is he joking?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

He guessed George Clooney. The guy under the mask was Flavor Flav. That's how bad you miss.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Wow. And he's a doctor, right?

[Brett Vesely]

And you take the mask off, and I'm like, there's Flavor Flav under the thing. And I'm like, who's this for? What kid is excited now that his favorite stuffed animal just became Flavor Flav. None. They don't know who Flavor Flav is. Adults don't want to watch the who is watching this. And it's. It's like the number one show Fox has. It's been on for years. Last night you said who was the one that got revealed? Candace Cameron Bure is underneath there. Yeah. She's from the Full House. Which end and then she had the new full House, which nobody watched a.

[John Holmberg]

Fuller House or something like that. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

So the ultimate disappointment for a child is who's under there. And it's some 43 year old woman who they don't know who.

[Brady]

Maybe that's what they're doing. Every, you know, week is hitting a different person in the family. That was for mom. Mom's probably slave was for dad.

[Brett Vesely]

Who the hell's excited about Candace Cameron Gastar? Yeah.

[Brady]

I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

Kirk Cameron's sister who's married to Pavel Bure is under there. Who's who's like, finally. Oh, it's Candace Cameron. Oh, my posters have legitimacy again, who's excited about this? I don't understand the show. Are we that bored in America? That masked singer has the attention of millions. Are we all just high as a kite? You notice that the two things correlate the legalization of marijuana and the Masked Singer success are they're riding the same line up on the graph. It has to be that America's so high. The masked singer is starting to like, resonate with it. Holmberg's morning sickness. Disgusting. They say things that are horrible. Upd Holmberg's morning sickness, but you can't guess George Clooney. That's like saying a Wolverine and the answer is Abraham Lincoln. It's like you can't be that wrong about your guess and still have a job.

[John Holmberg]

Even Robin Thicke looks at him sometimes. Really, dude?

[Brett Vesely]

Come on, Ken. Let's make this better, huh? We all know that's flavy flavor. Like, oh, my God is flavor if that's Flavor Flav under there. Sure enough, there he was. Can. There's no celebrity under that mask that's. You're not going to reveal anything. Well, the one time they guessed Barack Obama, I almost threw a brick through my tv. Barack Obama has accomplished so much in his life. You know what, Michelle? I'm going to go ahead and take the offer of dancing as a giant purple dildo on Mass Singer and I'll see if anybody can guess who I am. If you want my body. And it's Barack Obama. Everybody can tell that's the President of the United States. From 2008 to 2016. Yep. They nailed it. President.

[Brady]

Maybe he's already done it, but I'm wondering if we. Cato.

[Brett Vesely]

I wonder.

[John Holmberg]

But he would be the type that would be on that show.

[Brett Vesely]

Right, but what kid is waiting for the bear to be Kato Kalin? How does it work? How do you reveal. Oh, it's Kato Kalin. You gotta turn to your kids, go, oh, he's part of a major crime in 1994. And like, oh, well, I was born in 2008. This isn't for me or you.

[John Holmberg]

But even like you were talking about when you were talking about, like, at the RARA Room that one night, you were talking about Cato and she were like, who?

[Brett Vesely]

Some didn't know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're older than the kids, quote, unquote. Kids that you're going to.

[Brett Vesely]

But I didn't bring him in in a disguise.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

And then pop the top off and have everybody, everybody look at me, go, who the hell's that guy? The people who knew are like, oh, it's Kato Kaelin. They're not excited. They're like, oh, that's okay. Why did you bring him in in the disguise? Cause I'm. It's amazing, don't you think? It's like, not really. You gotta give me Barack Obama. If I came in with Barack Obama in a mask, I popped it off, the whole place would go bananas. Hey, guys, I brought another masked friend. And they're like, all right.

[Brady]

Didn't they do that? The press secretary? The. Sean.

[Brett Vesely]

Sean Spicer?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Nobody cares it's Sean Spice, sir. It's like the prize in a Cracker Jack. It's almost inevitably always disappointing.

[John Holmberg]

Well, they had Corolla on there one time. And I'm not knocking Corolla, but, like, there are no kids wanting Adam Corolla.

[Brett Vesely]

Adam's girlfriend made him do that. Oh, I'm sure he's, you know, he got divorced and he's with some girl now, and I think he's doing stuff she likes. But I mean, I just. I mean, if you had a. If I did a masked friend every day, and it was some D level celebrity. Hey, look, it's Dale Hellistrator. Yeah, okay, that's not a thing. Yeah, Hellistrator, man. I'm like, ah, put the mask back on. First of all.

[Brady]

Imagine how that costume.

[Brett Vesely]

But if I'm breaking out Barack or the people. George. Watch this, guys. Click. George Clooney's under my thing. Suddenly I got myself a game. But to disappoint people every time the Mask comes off with. Oh, that's kind of pathetic. That's just not. It's not really a person like a bunch of backup quarterbacks. Just. Nobody cares.

[Brady]

Dale's a good singer.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. I don't get it, man, but it's on Copenhagen. Put it in my mouth. Copenhagen. That's Dale. Hell, keep the mask on. Next. Yeah, I don't. Yeah. It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense whenever I. I talk about this. Well, the kids love it. Yeah, the kids love the stuffy animals. Why? Why the reveal. Just have a show where stuffed animals come out and sing to kids. That's. That's essentially what we're doing. But again, that's the only thing I can figure. The legalization of pot and the masked singer started about the same time.

[John Holmberg]

So here's the biggest celebrities they've had on there.

[Brett Vesely]

They've had a couple of them.

[John Holmberg]

Sarah Palin at number 21 as bear.

[Brett Vesely]

John Elway. Again. What kid is like, oh, my God, it's John Elway. Drew Carey, the host of the Prize is Right. Dick van Dyke, who's 96. No kid knows who he is. Kirstie Alley. She's dead.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, look at the size of that suit.

[Brett Vesely]

And they put her in a baby mammoth, which I think is sort of rude. William Shatner, I saw that one. And again, the reveal was Donny Osmond.

[John Holmberg]

Still that big.

[Brett Vesely]

Donny Osmond is. Nobody wants to see Donny Osmond. These are guys that are all not selling tickets to a show. Gladys Knight, she's sick. I think those costumes give people stuff. Jewel was on there. That's just a sad fall from grace. Kermit the Frog.

[John Holmberg]

They had a.

[Brett Vesely]

Was inside of another costume.

[John Holmberg]

Jesus, I didn't see that.

[Brett Vesely]

I was telling you guys my theory about Rudy Giuliani was on there. So just thought I'd come out here and do a little song or two. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Leann Rimes sings for a living. Why does she need this job? None of them can sell tickets. They're all people who can't sell tickets. Billie Jean King, and she was dressed.

[Brady]

Up as Royal Hen Saget.

[Brett Vesely]

Everybody on this show that was a big star is dead now. Busta Rhymes was on there. I don't get it. I don't get it. But I. I think Caitlyn Jenner was on now. That was. Reveal Yourself was pretty awesome.

[John Holmberg]

Lil Wayne.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't understand.

[John Holmberg]

All right, the Vanessa Hutchins. I. I guess I can get that.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's for a younger crowd.

[Brett Vesely]

Wouldn't they just want to go see her anyway?

[John Holmberg]

Well, you would think, like, why do.

[Brett Vesely]

You have to hide it? And number one, Timmy Lovato, who is nuts. And the biggest star ever, Kevin Hart. And that was early on, I think.

[John Holmberg]

But again, that was three kids ago for Nick Cannon.

[Brady]

Season 11.

[Brett Vesely]

Track back. I know there's been 20 of them. Track back to when they legalized weed and the Masked Singer started to get an audience. I'm telling you, that's that. There's there all these flower shops that opened up. The only potheads were watching this thing.

[Katie]

Hey, man.

[Brett Vesely]

And it's not like anybody's talking about that. We get it. The reason I'm talking about is we get updates. I get an update on my emails. It's on tmz. It's on, like, all sorts of news sources. Like, they're like, tomorrow we'll tell everybody because they're gonna be talking about it at work. You guys watch Mass Singer? No one has ever said those words to me. Did you watch Masked Singer last night? No, it was Anna Gasteyer. So what? I'd rather go to an LPGA event. But what I did enjoy was yesterday, all the stories that came out about them finding the. The CIA is now saying that the lost. You know, the Raiders. The Lost Ark. The Ark of the Covenant. Yeah. That they know where it is and they know it's found. And I'm not even sure what's up.

[Brady]

It was a document from.

[John Holmberg]

Not in the warehouse in Washington, D.C.

[Brett Vesely]

No, that was the thing that we learned from Raiders of the Lost Ark. But again, like we talked about yesterday, movies tell us what's going to happen someday by kind of like easing us into stuff before we're shocked. But then I started reading about what's in the Ark of the Covenant, and I'm like, oh, boy. Magic swords that spread oceans apart. And I'm like, oh, people are gonna.

[John Holmberg]

JDKB will be excited about that.

[Brett Vesely]

And so the more I read it, the more I real. We can't ever admit to finding this if it is real, because the whole war world would break into war because it would diminish. Like, every religion would want to claim that they've got stake in this thing because it's from the Middle East. You know, there's ties to everything. The. The magic powers of the sticks that are in it that make it so you can spread oceans and. And get rid of rivers.

[Brady]

Yeah. The manager of the Lost Ark kind of addressed it that they, you know.

[Brett Vesely]

But to me, that was a fancy.

[Brady]

Around and decimate town.

[Brett Vesely]

Sure. But to me, that. Yeah, the Ark of the Covenant would show up and blow up everything with its magic juice. And there are people who. I didn't realize. I thought it was just a bunch of gold. I thought they were just hauling a bunch of riches around.

[Brady]

Yeah, no, just designed for one thing.

[Brett Vesely]

Right. Magic. Wizard power.

[Brady]

Well, to hold the Ten Commandments.

[Brett Vesely]

Wizard power. Because if I found it, there's nothing in there. Because wouldn't it free itself if it's got all this magic that it can take a town out with command? Wouldn't just the mere wish of wanting to find it, it would reveal itself.

[Katie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

You used to be able to hold.

[Brett Vesely]

The stick and wish it would kill an entire city.

[Brady]

Like, you'd open the lid like they're at war. I don't know if it was Joshua, the Israelites or whatever.

[Brett Vesely]

It's bananas. So the more I read about it, the more I'm like, oh, no. Do you believe this is a thing?

[Brady]

The Ark of the Covenant?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Like, if they found it, we'd be like, finally, and we could go over to Afghanistan and just blow it up with our magic.

[Brady]

I don't know if it still would hold the. Like, what they're saying, the powers. But I think there's an Ark of the Covenant that had the.

[Brett Vesely]

But isn't that the Ark of the Covenant? If it doesn't have the powers, what is it?

[Brady]

Yeah, well, I mean, I think at the time that's what it was used for. I think it's.

[Brett Vesely]

So it doesn't have any juice anymore. Like, you could pick up. You'd pick up the stick and go, oh, this is what separated oceans. It doesn't work like.

[Brady]

Like, you know, the. The thing behind. They're arguing whether whether it was the. The lance that was on when Christ was crucified.

[Brett Vesely]

Sure. Like that thing that stabbed him in the leg. Yeah, but.

[Brady]

Or the Shroud of.

[Brett Vesely]

Right, but the stuff that made rivers stop flowing so people could walk across them. They don't work anymore.

[Brady]

Yeah. At that particular time, I don't think so.

[Brett Vesely]

It would just stop. Why are we looking for it then? It's just a stage.

[Brady]

Because that was its purpose at the time you.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, but if you. Like, you're just gonna cause more trouble if you're like, it doesn't work anymore, but this is it.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Just plug the USB C inside of.

[Brett Vesely]

It and plug it back in. That's my point.

[Brady]

But. But you would want it, like, if you were a believer. I think there are, you know, and you're saying you, you would want that to work because then it would say.

[Brett Vesely]

Right, Proof.

[Brady]

There's.

[Brett Vesely]

That's my point.

[Brady]

So that's the way. Don't find it like miracles in general.

[Brett Vesely]

Believers need to be the ones that stop looking for it because if it doesn't work, it diminishes everything you've said.

[Brady]

And then again, we don't know. Yeah, I mean there's a part of that mystery. If it does work, get that covenant.

[Brett Vesely]

But right. If it did work, wouldn't people have kept an eye on this goddamn thing?

[Brady]

So you're seeing operation sun Peak. Sun streak. Sorry.

[Brett Vesely]

Quit it. Quit looking for it because you're only going to disappoint yourself and then rile everyone up and it's going to lead to chaos. Live in the fantasy. Because if you ever find anything, you're like you have another stuff juiced up anymore. It doesn't work like it used to. You just look like idiots. And then it's just gonna make everything useless. It better work. Remember when Indy put the thing in the ground and the magic eye and the sunlight hit it just right open it all up. That was neat. But you know what else? It was a movie.

[Brady]

There definitely had to been. I mean it's talked about so much throughout the. You know, like the Knights of the Templar. It's been moved several times even before that.

[Brett Vesely]

But I don't know, you know, how did they lose. Seems.

[Brady]

Well, there was a thought. One thought was it's not lost. They know where it is. They just wasn't the government or. It's in, in, in a temple that you're not allowed to go in.

[Brett Vesely]

Who.

[Brady]

Because of the, the, the government that. Where is it in.

[John Holmberg]

It wasn't the sandstorm that covered it up.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

You know, they put in the warehouse.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, but I mean like that's. Isn't that how they lost it? Wasn't there a big sandstorm that buried everything or something? Yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

So it was in the. Well, similar to that. What they're saying it's in. It's buried underneath this temple that you're. They won't allow any.

[John Holmberg]

Where's the temple religious.

[Brett Vesely]

Who's in the temple? Why even have it? So it's just a big empty building that no one's allowed in. You think that there's. There's rumor that says that's the temple. No one's allowed in. The Ark of the Covenant's under it and nobody's attacked that.

[Brady]

It says a long standing religious legend. Ethiopia describes how the Ark of the Covenant was brought there by a man named Man Alik, who is supposedly the son of the Queen of Sheba, Israel's King Solomon.

[Brett Vesely]

But you're telling me we know where it is and no one has gone after it?

[Brady]

Well, there's been a couple of.

[Brett Vesely]

They're all respecting the temple's wishes.

[Brady]

They're not allowed to check.

[Brett Vesely]

Brady, you're not allowed to bomb countries and they do it. You wouldn't. You don't think one group of people would have gone in there and said, sorry about your rules about the temp. The government won't coming in. Ukraine didn't want Russia in there. And they showed up. They say things that are horrible. Updated Holmberg's morning sickness. If the temple had the Ark of the Covenant in it, the believers would have flooded that temple.

[Brady]

Let's grease some palms and get in there. I've been saying that, but.

[Brett Vesely]

Sorry. Sorry. Park's closed, folks. Moose out front should have told you. And everybody's adhered to this rule.

[Brady]

Respecting the religion, basically.

[Brett Vesely]

Since when?

[Brady]

It happens all the time.

[Brett Vesely]

Are you crazy? The Muslims are going to respect that. They're not going to try to destroy that. If we know where it is, they're going to be like, yeah, but we're not allowed in there. That would be wrong.

[John Holmberg]

They're not respecting the Christians.

[Brett Vesely]

Nobody's respecting the Christians.

[Brady]

And the Christians, you know, exhuming a body just to double check a lot of times it's not that.

[Brett Vesely]

Because that's a dead body. This is the. This is the belief system of billions of people. You don't think anyone is going to breach that. You think the rules are too tight?

[Brady]

A certain reason also saying, we're not going to let you destroy this thing. To look to see if it's there and it's not there, then you've just wrecked this.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, but Somalia and Ethiopia, again, I don't have. But I'm just saying those people are so tied to the rules despite being one of the most crooked places on the planet, that they won't. They would not go in and get the richest check.

[Brady]

Check.

[Brett Vesely]

Steal.

[Brady]

What they're.

[Brett Vesely]

You would have.

[Brady]

They're not letting in is like, you know, the archaeologists from the United States or other countries, let's.

[Brett Vesely]

Pirates that take cargo ships. You're telling me that they wouldn't say, oh, the Ark of the Covenant's under that temple and the pirates wouldn't have gone in there. It's against the rules because it's not there. Stop looking. It's the silliest. As I read it yesterday, I'm like, there are people who, if that were true, would die trying to get this thing. There's nothing stopping them. There's a government official. It's crazy to sit and think that the government officials could go, you're not allowed in there. But the Ark of the Covenant is in there. Right. You're not. And you're the poorest. You're the poorest country on the planet and you're not using it. No.

[John Holmberg]

We got top men on it.

[Brett Vesely]

Right. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. So don't look for it. Stop looking. Or say you found it and say none of the stuff we thought was in there and watch the world explode.

[Brady]

Because we learned from Indiana Jones, you just. You don't want anyone to have.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, right. Because it would turn like the end of Indiana Jones. The lesson was, if this gets in the wrong hands, every. The whole. The whole world's going to explode. Because it's going to make people. Their whole belief systems will be shattered. The CIA announcing, though, and we know where it is. Guys, don't. This is going to be all. Wars start with this crap. And I want it. Like, if it does still work, why aren't we using it? Yeah, why Hitler wouldn't have gone in there and gotten that. That's the whole point of Raiders Lost Ark. It's like, if I get hold of this, I win.

[Brady]

And you saw what happened. They got a hold of it and it melted again. Yep. Evil. Evil.

[Brett Vesely]

And they put it back. Yeah, but in the movie, they did the right thing by putting it back.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

There's no way. There's no way. Once that thing is known, it doesn't get used. If you can have magic sticks melting, Germans doing it for fun.

[Brady]

Lightning bolt that ran through the whole.

[Brett Vesely]

It's so weird that adults still are like, oh, yeah, it's in there. And then like, your immediate response was, yeah, but none of that stuff's been charged for years, so it wouldn't work. And I'm like, well, then what's the point? What's the point of.

[Brady]

I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it can't work anymore. Because I think deep down everybody knows we better not get our hopes up that this stuff's actually gonna provide any sort of, you know, proof.

[John Holmberg]

I only get a day out of my iPhone. There's no way that thing is still charged. There's no way.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, they lost it in 500. And again, biblical people. I don't understand why you Guys keep losing everything. Oh, that got lost. I'm like, wasn't that the most important thing in the world? Where's Jesus? Oh, we lost it. You lost the body wrap Jesus was in.

[Katie]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Wasn't he sort of important? Shouldn't you have been there for. Yeah, we lost all that stuff. We got none of the evidence at all. None.

[Brady]

But now there's a heated debate on that. It's been that way for years.

[Brett Vesely]

You don't think.

[Brady]

Shroud of Turin.

[Brett Vesely]

That's been.

[Brady]

And it's not doing the.

[Brett Vesely]

It's not. It. The, the DNA. The Ten Commandments weren't something people. We lost the, the territorial cup, the U of A. ASU cup. And it was a laughing riot. Like nobody kept an eye on this thing.

[John Holmberg]

And somebody's attic or something like that.

[Brett Vesely]

Some dude had it inside. Nobody thought it was important enough to keep an eye on for like 80 years. Yeah, the Ten Commandments. Get lost. We don't know where they are. They're in the Ark of the Covenant. Where's that? Nobody knows where any of this stuff is.

[Brady]

You'd think, who's the last army that had. And then what did you guys go? Then they moved it from a couple different towns.

[Brett Vesely]

Everyone lost records. Suddenly everyone lost interest. Like they used to have to move it around because everybody was chasing it so much. And so. Nah. We put it in a temple that you're not allowed in. It's like shooting no dogs, alone, buried under the stone. I mean, just. Do we not have logic at all on the planet anymore that you're like, people just stop looking for what would be the most earth shattering thing.

[Brady]

There are people looking, but they're, they're limited.

[Brett Vesely]

What does that mean?

[Brady]

They aren't allowed? You know, I think it's in this temple.

[Brett Vesely]

You're saying people have it. If there's people stopping you from getting it.

[Brady]

I'm saying.

[Brett Vesely]

You're saying there are people saying, no, you can't have it. It's right here.

[Brady]

You're not allowed telling them you're crazy in a way that you're like, we think it's in. Underneath your temple there.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[Brady]

It's not. They'll, they'll. We're not letting you dig up the temple.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll get two guys from Home Depot and we'll start two miles away from that temple and we'll get there. See? See, I need a tunnel to the Ark of the Covenant. See. How much do you need? $8. Okay, dig, Poncho.

[John Holmberg]

They got El Chapo out of a jail in the Ark of the Covenant, in the shower.

[Brett Vesely]

This is something that, like. No, you're not allowed in. Yeah, we better respect that. That's only the most important thing in, man.

[Brady]

These are just the. The things that I've seen on it and the specials that they've had because it's.

[Brett Vesely]

It's. It's pablum for the dumb to sit back. Well, we have guards at the temple just in case people try to get in there.

[Brady]

Gonna leave me hanging? You can't get into that to check.

[Brett Vesely]

You're not allowed in.

[Brady]

Why not?

[Brett Vesely]

But the most. The most important thing in the history of man might be under here. We're not interested in that. Our temple means more.

[John Holmberg]

Well, remember the guards, garden, the chalice, Those old dudes, I mean, just go in there and get it. Just walk right by him.

[Katie]

Walk right by that.

[John Holmberg]

Not a big deal.

[Brett Vesely]

Choose wisely.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Out of the way, ghost boy.

[Brady]

You saw what happens if you cross the seal. You can't get rid of the chalice.

[Brett Vesely]

Good. Choose wisely. Oh, suddenly you're Howie Mandel. Is this deal or no deal? Poor you chose Paul. Well, it was a one in five. What's with the extra chalices? Ikea. Give me the thing.

[Brady]

Now that's a chalice of a carpenter.

[Brett Vesely]

It's just so stupid. And the more I read about it, the more I'm like, oh, my God, the dumb are going to fire up on this thing if we're not careful. And one of the dumbest arguments I've heard, Brady, is there are people who know where it is and we're just not allowed in there. And there are people who think it, but they just. They put their hands up and say, stay out.

[Brady]

People would say, no, it's not there. It's here. In this case, okay, you would kill.

[Brett Vesely]

Whoever'S standing in front of the door to get the most important thing in man's history if it's real, or even just take a chance to look for it. Nobody wants to bury history, John.

[Brady]

Like this. If this document, the CIA document from 1998 operation, they have it. They pull out the Ark of Covenant. It is real.

[Brett Vesely]

Awesome.

[Brady]

Does that change?

[Brett Vesely]

Of course. It's called proof. Of course. Why wouldn't it? Yeah, but it also changes it for Shinto, all the Eastern religions, the polytheism, Muslim. It changes it for everyone. And there will be a massive war to destroy that thing. So, yes, it would change it.

[Brady]

Maybe that's why they're hiding it.

[Brett Vesely]

But no, that's so stupid, because whoever they are, we've never done that with anything else. Right? They. The hiders of the thing. There's three dudes that are like, bro, what do you do for a living? I guard the Ark of the Covenant. I mean, I guard an IKEA parking lot. Oh, I thought you said Ark of the Covenant. At first. It's just so ridiculously dumb. And then when I read this, and the more of the powers that are in it, and I'm like, oh, no, this is gonna make dumb people really sad when they pull out nothing. I should have Geraldo Rivera go to that temple you're talking about and unearth the nothing. And you're not allowed in here. You're not allowed. I know you guys think the Ark of the Covenant's under here, but we're not. We have zero curiosity. We have no.

[John Holmberg]

Finally.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, we're an entire society of no curiosity. We understand that you guys think that the Ark of the Covenant's under our building, but our building is awesome, so no looking, please. It's a convenient excuse and it's stupid. But, yeah, the CIA, evidently, you know, there are people saying, yeah, we know what it is. You know how they.

[Brady]

And it's such a wild opera. I mean, if you read about it. Psychics. Yeah, the psychics, you know, their visions, they draw this map, and the one, you know, came up with the. Described, basically the. The Ark.

[Brett Vesely]

That's the thing that when I'm like, wow, what CIA might know where the Covenant of the. And then you read, and you're like, through the help of psychics. Yeah, I'm like, no, that's gotta be proven to me to be pretty cool. And if you are a psychic and you know where it is, wouldn't you pay like Elon Musk immediately to go, by the way, my psychic power? I just need your help. And you would go get it. No, Psychic is not gonna want to be the biggest thing on the planet to say, I'm a psychic. And I know I'm great at it, and I know where all this stuff is. And, you know, no one will listen to me. It's like, well, I'll listen. Let's go dig it up. Well, you're not allowed. Then. You're a useless psychic.

[Brady]

But they've used, you know, certain law enforcement or whatever have used a psychic. Or, like, dig here, dig it. You know, whether it's looking for a body or, you know, and some of them, one or two have nailed it one time.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

I think this is where this missing person is.

[Brett Vesely]

David Morgan makes a good point. So, John, you're missing the most important part of Brady's location argument. It's Somalia. No one, even Somalians, want to go there. So the Ark of the Covenant's safe. That's true. In order to go there, you had to deal with Somalians.

[John Holmberg]

And is that where it's supposedly at?

[Brett Vesely]

Who knows? It's Somalia. Ethiopia. But the CIA isn't what it got. It is, but I don't think anybody sees that. Yeah, the dumb juice is flowing pretty hard on this. But you lost the Ten Commandments.

[John Holmberg]

It's not like losing your car keys.

[Brett Vesely]

Right. You didn't care that much about it if you lost it. It's the most important thing in the history of man. Of all time. Where is it? God, I don't know. I was. A Dave had it last. Where did you put a Dave? I gave it to some Somalian guys. Oh. They left with it. They took it. All right, well, we'll just tell people about it then. We don't really actually need physical proof. Hopefully they bury it in a place with guards and never tell anybody it's there. Yeah, that's the only thing that makes sense to us is Raiders of the Lost Ark and that dumb ghost, you cherubs. Paulie. Marion. He's not gonna give me that cup. But it would look so good on her mantle.

[Brady]

You go get that.

[Brett Vesely]

Anyway, it was interesting, and I did a lot of reading about it yesterday, and I realized, my God, there's still like 4 or 5 billion really stupid mother on this planet. Holy smokes. It's just, you know, that and the Noah's Ark. Stop looking. Live with it as a story.

[Brady]

According to the CIA document that they're talking about, they say they believe employed. Certain employed individuals allegedly believe that it still has paranormal.

[Brett Vesely]

You haven't said a word.

[Brady]

Paranormal. Paranormal capabilities. It still does.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, they think it does.

[Brady]

That's according to some of the employed individuals for the CIA that they say they're like the document says, oh, yeah, we know where it is.

[Brett Vesely]

And it still has out of Earth capabilities. And we're not interested in getting it.

[Brady]

Believe it might have paranormal capability and.

[Brett Vesely]

They know where it is. And we're not going down there and getting it because the guard at the temple said no.

[Brady]

Yeah, I guess they shut down Project Sun Streak.

[Brett Vesely]

Holmberg's morning sickness. Disgusting. They say things that are horrible. UPD Holmberg's morning sickness. Do you hear the stupid in all this? Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

The fact that there's a doc, you know, documents that are coming out.

[Brett Vesely]

So it's all to build another Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's all. I think Harrison Ford's got to be better than Christmas. Skull will so back. This is. Brady doesn't believe anything from Indiana Jones except that a refrigerator saves lives. That is true. Do the Crystal Skull. The refrigerator saved lives.

[Brady]

They don't build them like they used to.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it's a weird thing, man, but yeah. And it started to pop up all over the news. You sent me the thing yesterday. And then it was. I don't know if that's my algorithm or what just because I opened it, but I must have had 15 or 20 different stories about the CIA and all the news things I look at same thing.

[Brady]

If you, you know, open that stuff up now, that kind of stuff, you know, it's fascinating to read about.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm. How dumb everybody's got to be to go, wow. Yeah, we'll never know. Like, they, like, they deep down know that if we found it would be bad. But oh, my goodness, it's. And then, like, it probably has some supernatural powers. Would change the planet pretty heavily. We're gonna leave it there.

[John Holmberg]

Like.

[Brett Vesely]

No, we would never do that. We mine and dig for anything that can make somebody billions of dollars. If that thing had the ability to stop rivers and manipulate entire societies, somebody would get it. Someone would want that. Bin Laden and his crew. Oh, man, you don't think they would have. By the way, guys, we got the Ark of the Covenant. We're in these caves. Real quick announcement. Pretty badly. Oh, great. Bin Laden's got the Ark. I thought the temple guy kept him out. Evidently, he didn't do his job that day. And it's terrible. I mean, you're not allowed to take anything from anywhere. Why are we so. Well, that's one place you can go to Burger King today. They say, you know, you're not allowed to have what's in the caches. Just people will still do it.

[Brady]

Wait until we find that one person that can pull Excalibur out of this film.

[Brett Vesely]

Or is it still. Still there?

[Brady]

I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

Nobody knows where that is either. So important.

[John Holmberg]

It was a Disneyland in that.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I remember. That was kind of cool. That was for some reason. Everyone in line. It's still there. And it still cost you a couple bucks to try. Well, here. Yeah. If Disneyland had it, it would make sense. Tomorrowland. Ark of the Covenant Land. It's the real one. Like, yeah, that would make sense to me. If the Eisners picked that up.

[John Holmberg]

The Imagineers found it somewhere in Somalia or what?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, two guys in Mickey hats went by.

[John Holmberg]

How about that?

[Brett Vesely]

We dug under this temple and sure enough. Or sure it I should say, there it was. Yeah. Says when my TV remote is lost, all family function ceases until that remote returns.

[John Holmberg]

But damn right, the Ark and the.

[Brett Vesely]

Ten Commandments, ah, they'll show up at some point. There's no real reason to look for that. That's what kills me, caa, telling dumb people we know where it all is. We know where your ten Commandments are. Well, can we see him? There's a temple with a guy at the front. He's in VIP security, real strict and nobody's allowed it.

[John Holmberg]

Can't get behind the red.

[Brett Vesely]

Can't get behind. Great. Between the masked singer and that, I realize why the masked singer is important. There's a lot of people are working on about three brain cells. It drives me crazy that I share a road with some of these folks that are like, well, yeah, if we ever found it, we could prove. And then we'd shoot out there and stop that Colorado river and what? Yeah, it's pretty amazing stuff. You don't want that. There's a guard, you see, and he's kind. He's very strict.

[Brady]

Just crack the seal of it just a little bit. Zap something real quick.

[Brett Vesely]

The whole point of our existence is to find out why we're here and that can reveal it if it's real and we don't go digging for it. Come on.

[Brady]

Oh, there's people digging.

[Brett Vesely]

No, there's not. You just said there's not.

[Brady]

Well, no, they've. They've. The one you know, group has found a dead end. They can't. Where they think where it was VIPs and they could. And that one, you know, was years.

[Brett Vesely]

Ago because Trent and Alan are in the parking lot going, government access yellow tape means no more from here on because you guys are getting awfully close to the mystery of life, bro. Bruh, I make $21 an hour. I've got two kids. Mystery Life is under my feet every day. And I'll be God damned if you're gonna dig on my time. Sorry. Allen and Trent said we can't dig any further. Let's go home. I've wasted my entire life looking for this thing. We think we've got it, but there's VIP security.

[Brady]

So maybe the Trump and Moscow say, you know what?

[Brett Vesely]

You don't think Donald Trump.

[Brady]

Let's go game.

[Brett Vesely]

You don't think Donald Trump would go.

[Katie]

You know what? I'm going to go get the Ark of the Covenant and I'm going to own it.

[Brett Vesely]

You don't think he. He's like, no, this is time this article came out.

[Katie]

I know exactly where it is. But Trent and Allen are very good security guard.

[Brett Vesely]

Like, you don't think Donald Trump would go get it?

[Brady]

Oh, no, I do.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, that's.

[Brady]

Yeah, right. The same. Is the same organization. The CIA is the one that has a whole department that puts out fake stories, too.

[Brett Vesely]

I think that's cnn.

[Brady]

No, I thought it was designed. They have stuff that puts out.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, sure, there's manipulation stories, Wag the dog stuff and things like that. So you think that's this?

[Brady]

Why wouldn't it? I mean, it could be, couldn't it? If it's.

[Brett Vesely]

But why would you do it? Like, what's the end game? To rile up the religion.

[Brady]

It does. Still keeping the. The beliefs. Oh, well, let's go get it. But then this would, you think, create a stronger urge to get that?

[Brett Vesely]

It would cause more trouble than good to say, we know where it is, it's real. And then the people who believe it, be like, we're gonna go get that.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

And so it is real. Oh, yeah. It's 100. Okay. I'm quitting. Everything I do. That's now my quest in life.

[Brady]

Prove it.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, no, you wouldn't ask the idea to prove it. You'd have lunatics go looking, and they'd tear tops off of everything to find it. Brady, you've seen the Easter keg hunt. People who have.

[Brady]

Maybe we should do that this year.

[John Holmberg]

Find the Ark of the Covenant.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, five grand. Five grand is the first person that brings me the Ark of the Covenant. I'll do it. Screw this. Bring your kegs back all day. If you bring me the Ark of the Covenant, I'll get a tattoo of Brady with Jesus and all over my body.

[Brady]

Get a higher, though. Five grand?

[Brett Vesely]

No, look, that's all we've got. It's a radio thing. We're in a death spiral. The whole business is dying. If you want to keep getting paid, we can't start handing listings. All that cash. KUPD is doing great, but, I mean, this business is in trouble. KUPD is keeping all the other radio stations in this company afloat. Let's not fool ourselves. Start handing out 20, 30 million. Although, if you brought us the Ark of the Covenant, I think we get.

[John Holmberg]

A little more coverage, we might give you 10 grand.

[Brett Vesely]

You know what? I'm with you. If I get a piece of that operation like I want a Percentage of the Covenant. It's the weirdest thing I've ever read. And then to have it be taken.

[Brady]

Someone put a bounty on it.

[Brett Vesely]

But the.

[John Holmberg]

Is a bounty. It's just like an unspoken bounty. Somebody's gonna pay for that.

[Brett Vesely]

I just like that you kind of believe that Donald Trump would be like.

[Katie]

Well, I'm gonna keep that under wraps.

[Brett Vesely]

Like, he doesn't do any of that. He's a guy that, like, this is.

[Brady]

Why I. I want to know his. I would love. He had to read this story or I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

And they won't even reveal the Kennedy assassination stuff all the way.

[John Holmberg]

He would have it in the Oval Office as a coffee table with his feet kicked up on it. If he could find that thing. Oh, yeah.

[Katie]

Have you guys ever seen the Potomac flowing right now this is gold to begin with.

[Brett Vesely]

Exactly.

[Katie]

Would stop the Potomac. I did that. That's me. Because I was.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm saying.

[Brady]

He just cracks it real quick.

[Katie]

Look, Brady, I was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this year. And I believe God kept me alive so I could control the Ark of the Covenant and start stopping the flow of rivers blowing up and decimating cities. You know what I call them? Real whole towns. And I blow those up with my Covenant. It's the Trump Ark. That's what we call the Ark of America. I don't know what covenant is. The Covenant of America. We're changing the name.

[Brett Vesely]

You're telling me that everybody's just adhered to the rule. Don't look for it. I find that to be astonishingly dumb here.

[Brady]

Trump just. I'm gonna crack the lid a little bit.

[Katie]

Just open it.

[Brett Vesely]

Do you imagine.

[Brady]

Look away.

[Brett Vesely]

His press conference in the back. That glowing gold thing. Yeah.

[Katie]

You guys aren't gonna believe this. And I am. I'm gonna open it. I'm gonna open it today. I'm pretty sure I found the Ark of the Covenant. I'm almost positive. So I've chosen wisely and I believe Brady's wrong. I got right past Trent and Allen. VIP security by the Great job. For hundreds of years, thousands even, they've held. They've held us under wraps. But they couldn't stop the old Trump musk combo. So we went down there and we got it. It's right behind me.

[Brady]

Elon, you can open it. Mr. President.

[Katie]

Elon, I'd like you to open it. People are going to be blown away. That's right, Elon. Elon and I are right here together and we're going to open the Ark of the Covenant at 7:00 tonight on Trump TV, which is a brand new channel. You can get it. It's streaming now.

[Brett Vesely]

You telling me that that dude's gonna keep that under wraps and see the CIA doesn't go. Mr. President, what is it?

[Katie]

A very busy, very busy. I'm watching a lot of television right now. George Clooney's on 60 Minutes. Terrible actor.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, we found the Ark of the Covenant.

[Katie]

All right, I'm gonna need this.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm gonna need this.

[Brady]

It would change. The motorcade would have the Covenant following with it. He'd travel with it everywhere.

[Brett Vesely]

It would be. It would be carried around like Xerxes with this thing under him. And so would I. I hope I stumble on it. Alan, Trent, Did I just find the Ark of the Covenant? You did.

[John Holmberg]

You chose wisely, bruh.

[Brett Vesely]

Hey, Alan, Trent. I don't know why you guys haven't thought of this. I'll split it with you. Duh.

[John Holmberg]

Trent, you idiot.

[Brett Vesely]

We should have done this years ago. Okay, Holmberg, we'll do it. I don't get it, but it's news everywhere. And somehow or another we gotta take that seriously. There's a lot of dumb people out there. Sorry. I'll get off my Rogan soapbox right now. You guys are dumb. There's a lot of dumb people, and we use psychics. I. Psychics? Don't get me started on that. Now. That'll be another hour and a half. Brett, what do you got on the big board of Musical Treats? Hopefully not the Ark of the Covenant.

[John Holmberg]

Now wake up. Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop, of course. And if you want to pedal across the desert and try to find yourself an Ark of a Covenant, well, there's no better place to get that bike than at Action Ride Shop. And they got two for you over there on Power Road and McDowell, and of course, the original one on Gilbert Road and Southern. All the best bikes you can handle. Pivot, Santa Cruz, Rocky Mountain. You name it, they got it and they can fix it. If you got an old bike in the garage, they're gonna get you dialed in. Best wrenches in town. ActionRideshop.com is where you're gonna go.

[Brett Vesely]

There you go.

[John Holmberg]

On the list. Papa Roach, Deftones Board for Brady's brother, Meredith Brooks for Brady, because that's what he's treating like. Metallica's Ain't My Bitch for Brady.

[Brett Vesely]

Brady's brother is getting all the love this morning.

[John Holmberg]

Anthrax, Lindsey Buckingham. Holiday Road for Brady's brother, Ramstein Danzig. Alison Chains, the Warning More because Tom wanted more on his vacation. 7 dust bitch for Brady and Toxicity for Tom's trip as well.

[Brett Vesely]

System of IT and Toxicity is pretty good. We'll go with that.

[John Holmberg]

Right?

[Brett Vesely]

That's solid stuff. Yeah, I've read this before too. A guy says, do you know that they have another one just said a Pride of Coronado. Checking. And Phoenix equivalent of the Ark is under Banquin Ballpark, Chase Field. Ken Kendrick's baseball card collections under there. They've had to move it a few times because despite security, people are still trying to get to it. Baseball cards. Very honest.

[John Holmberg]

Wagner, Arkham Covenant.

[Brett Vesely]

You know, meth heads dig up copper wires.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah?

[Brett Vesely]

You think meth heads aren't gonna sit back and go, eh, the temple guards are pretty good.

[John Holmberg]

Can you imagine what Byron would offer us at MMP for the Ark of the Covenant, man, what do you sell? A hundred thousand? You know, up to $100,000.

[Brett Vesely]

That's.

[John Holmberg]

We can get a loan on it.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, my God. You know, that seems about right.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

What does it do? What glows? You stop rivers and lakes and stuff and decimate cities.

[John Holmberg]

Sit.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll give you 80 grand for that. I was looking for the full pull here, Byron. Look, I gotta make money too. There's margin. Okay? 80,000 is fair. It's top. Yeah. You get a deal. It's a moo money pawn at MMP Guns. And in the back, they have the Arc of the Covenant. We're gonna lose it, though, for sure. System of A. Down. Toxicity. It's 98. KUPD. Wake them up. It's out of control. Now. 98, can you go PD.
