Brady
The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. You hit me with these things and as you know that that handbook that says here's how you talk to John's heart. The guy says not a good start to my day. 15 year old Chihuahua Gus passed away in my arms this morning. He was old and showing health problems these past few months. So today his name was called. We give Gus a shout out for me and shout out to everybody to give little extra treats and hugs to their pets because Gus was my best friend. Well, thanks a lot Robert. Oh Robert, that's one that has not happened to me and I hope never does. I've been fortunate enough to call that shot every time. Yeah, I have not had my I had a friend wake up one morning and his dog had had a heart attack in his sleep.
Aaron
I didn't notice.
Brady
He's in his little bed in the morning, walked by and so puppy didn't wake up this morning, went over and like, oh, boy. And had to clear that room before the kids got up because you can't find that. I have not had that happen. So to you, Robert, I will definitely tip back that water bowl a little. Give some cookies to the kids today and hug those dogs. And it gives a pause to basically say, lost her home. Pet Rescue has got a whole bunch of those little guys that need that love right now, as do a lot of shelters. In honor of Gus, if you're home right now, toss a cookie your puppy's way and say, this one's for Gus. One of yours. One of the good ones. Fifteen years, though. Did a hell of a job there. It's not bad. Got a dog for 15 years. That dog's won the race. They're not supposed to go much longer than that. And when they do, it's. You know what it just means you gave them a lot, and they stuck around a long time. Sorry to hear for that. That's tough. I hate reading those. I've got one soft spot. Well, two, two, three. I got three or four. One real big one.
John Holmberg
Come on, Brady. What are you doing over here?
Brady
One is not grilled cheese, so it's not. Fifth soft spot is not. In fact, make a. Brady said make a grilled cheese for your dogs today. There you go. That's nice. And then on the heels of that, I get this email that says, hey, it's Aaron from Lost Our Home. Just want to let you know, on a positive note, our friend Erica Cartwright from Incredible Stella. We met her years ago doing charity stuff, and she actually listens to the show and won the trip to Vegas a couple years ago with that group of people. She. She was up there with us and her husband Dustin. They're great people. She's running Incredible Stella. Look into her story with what she's done with that charity, and it will. It'll break it down. Erica's good people. They're taking Cypress home from Lost her home. Cypress has been in the shelter for two years. An amazing dog, but just didn't connect with anyone. Just kind of fell into the system and then started to get a little grumpy then rightfully so. He's been in this shelter for two years. Right. They get institutionalized, so they've been doing extra work. Erica is taking Cypress home to Foster Cyprus. Get him out of the shelter and get him back to normal. So I gotta thank you from Aaron for introducing Erica to Lost her home. She would find you no matter what. That's not me. And it says it's we're so effing thankful for you and Erica and anyone else that's been involved in the journey for Cyprus. Thanks for talking about him on the show. It means the world to us. If you could give him a shout out again. Doing it right now. Fostering is a massive step, but we're in need of finding this dog a forever home. And I. Aaron's been amazing about this. I've talked to him several times. He said, I'm not stopping till this happens. Too many people in this city to not have a home for that dog. Damn it. Signed Aaron. It says. Also tell Brett we just got a sweet Doberman that.
John Holmberg
I just got his email. I just got his email. I haven't got back to him yet.
Brady
But drag his ass down here Thursday with you when you do your pick and litter when you meet him. Yeah, those are those moments. Well, Robert, I'm sorry for you and Gus, but tip of the cap. Tip one back for Gus this morning. That's tough stuff. Oh, you people in your. My other soft spot's teddy bears. Got a big time hit for teddy bears. I can't. I almost pulled over on the freeway again on the 51. It wasn't a ladder this time. A few days ago, I was on the freeway and I saw a kid lose his stuffed animal out of the window and it rolled right off onto the side and it was all. And nobody stopped.
Brett
Kept going.
Brady
Oh, if that was Teddy. If that was my. I jumped out of the car when I was a kid. Teddy was. Teddy was my heart. So if you pulled over on the side of the road and I would have backed up and gotten that little bear and. But then. But then what? Then I've got some kid's toy. I look like a crazy person. And they didn't stop. Next day I drove by the same exact spot. Teddy was gone. So either got street swept or they went back and got him.
John Holmberg
Think positive.
Brady
Think soft spot for the Teddy.
Brett
He's on the front of the truck.
Brady
Oh, God. Don't. I can't. And that I can't stand.
John Holmberg
Way to go, Brady.
Brady
Thanks. You son of a. Go yourself. Your God's not real. What?
Aaron
How.
Brady
How do I hurt you?
John Holmberg
What a dick.
Brady
Yeah, it's reality, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Reality is most cheeses aren't actually cheese manufactured by science. I hope you. I hope die in a cheese fire. You piece of. Making fun of teddies, putting them on the fronts of landscaping trucks. I. Right now. Bring him in. Come here for a second.
Aaron
What did you need?
Brady
I saw you ring I need him deported immediately.
Aaron
Why? Why would. Why would it.
Brady
He's Mexican.
Aaron
Oh, he doesn't look Mexican.
Brady
Oh. He ties teddy bears to the fronts of landscaping trucks.
Aaron
Call ICE get him down here right away. There's no doubt in my mind. That's a Mexican move.
John Holmberg
He goes El Centro for tacos.
Aaron
That's exactly right. I've read about that, actually. Heard about this. Brady, I'm sorry. You got to go. You're going to Colombia.
Brett
Las Palmas.
Aaron
You're going to Colombia. Nothing you can do about it. Las Palmas in El Centro.
Brady
That's. It's the Mar A Lago of sh.
Aaron
T. Restaurants. I'll get on that right away. What a terrible, terrible man.
Brett
Teddy tacks.
Brady
Yeah. Tied to the front of a landscape and tie you to the front of a landscaping truck. The problem with that is the back end of the truck would go up. Jerk. No, those are my. Those are my. You hit me hard there teddy bear stories. You know, losing a teddy or losing that. Oh, it's tough stuff. Not your story about the piss pillow.
Brett
You used to have, But Puffy was my teddy.
Brady
No, it wasn't. Puffy was disgusting. Your mother did it, and she was right. If I pissed all over Teddy. You didn't love Puffy. If you pissed all over him. That's just. That doesn't mean love until you're like, 20 or you're a golden retriever.
Aaron
Yeah.
Brady
You start pissing on stuff you kiss on stuff you love after, like, 20, and that's just a game in the bathtub. You don't piss on the one you love as a child, Brady. Puffy, the piss pillow was nothing but a sponge. And you never got another pillow, did you? Did you follow?
Brett
Yeah.
Brady
So you replace that, then it's more proof that Puffy meant nothing to you.
Brett
It took a while.
Brady
Yeah. To piss on that one. How fast did you piss? Did you piss on the replacement right away?
John Holmberg
Mark his territory?
Brett
Probably pretty quick.
Brady
Pretty fast. You had an issue when you were peeing the bed a night or two. Was it nightly? Pretty.
Brett
No, I don't think so. I think it was, you know, but probably two or three times a week.
Brady
No kidding. Geez. That's a lot.
Brett
That's my mom. I, I. Yeah, I would say that.
Brady
Two or three times a week, you'd pee the bed. No kidding.
Brett
I. Again, I don't.
Brady
But even still, if it's just two.
Brett
That would be my guess.
Brady
One is a lot. If it's weekly, one or two is a thing going. Were they worried about you? Like the doctors thought something was really wrong.
Brett
That's a lot of dehydrate. No drinking before. Before you go into bed.
Brady
So you were just guzzling?
Brett
No, no, no.
Brady
I know, but that's what was causing it.
Brett
That's what they're trying to think. Well, don't drink it.
Brady
Do they ever recognize stress or some sort of thing? Because that's usually some sort of trauma that makes a kid pee until that much. Yeah, like something was going on. Yeah. Someday it'll reveal itself.
Brett
It's common in left handers.
Brady
Is that right? Yeah, it Left handers be the bed more often.
Brett
Yeah, look it up.
Brady
Look it up. It's written in crayon on your mind.
John Holmberg
Next time I hang out with him.
Brady
What kind of bullshit is that? That's what they told me to make me feel normal. All right. I mean, from all the left handers. How many of you peed the bed two or three times a week? Yeah, I don't know about that. One of these days, when all your repressed memories come cycling down the farmer's arm.
Brett
Of them.
Brady
Yeah. Like at the end of Rage of the Lost Ark. When that thing happens and all the things shoot into the sky. That'll be Brady's. All his repressed memories. You'll find out why you did that. It'll be in there.
Brett
Brother for years was put my hand in a warm cup.
Brady
Did your brother pee the bed?
Brett
No.
Brady
No. And neither did your sister.
Brett
No.
Brady
I don't know. Girls do that a lot. Do they? They're bedwetters, I guess. Probably imagine they do. Chicks are so in tune with peeing in the middle of the night, they wake up. Doesn't matter. All right. Well, there you go anyway. Something about this guy's dog and Brady pee in the bed. I don't know how that got mixed together, but it did. We got hot releases coming up in just moments for Gus. 98 John Holmberg's Morning Sickness. The 98 KUPD, it's Larry McFeely.

Brady
Improv.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness. I got a lot going on right now. Just something stupid, stupid just happened. Godsmack, by the way, official now. Talk of. Was it Tony and the other guy's name? Rob Shannon. That's right. Have officially left the band. They kind of quit last year, but they have officially left Godsmack saying, that's enough touring. But it wasn't bad, wasn't mean, and it wasn't, like, contentious. They're just like, Dude, I'm 60 students. 58, been touring for 40 years. That's enough. And by the way, last time I saw Godsmack, Sully just was running all over the stage going, move. And then taking the instrument from the guy and playing it anyway. I play piano move. And he played piano.
Dick Toledo
Aggressive than the first time we saw.
Brady
Yeah, it was the Sully show last time I watched Godsmack, and he's great, but that drums move, just the drummer had to get up and stand next to him. He's playing him like you were at, you know, Guitar center and the guy was wanting to show you something, runs over the piano move, and he moves the guy playing piano and starts playing. So I think they'll be all right without those two. Sully still got plenty of energy for everybody else, but, yeah, it just goes to show you that your dream being in a rock band, touring, you get tired of that too, you know, it happens. I'll get to that in a second. I've got a fish to fry here. I've made a terrible error. Oh, I could be in. I have to change my name. I have to change all sorts of stuff.
Dick Toledo
What'd you click on?
Brady
You nailed it.
John Holmberg
Oh, no.
Brady
Well, they said, I want a tractor. And I'm like, I don't. It was a tractor. Who doesn't want a tractor? Supply company said, hey, this is your last opportunity to claim that tractor. You've won. So I. Yes, Brett, I wisely went to the search and said, oh, yeah, Tractor supply company. Click. And they had sent me like, seven notices since the early March that I have won a tractor and a generator, by the way.
John Holmberg
You think they're holding onto it that long?
Brady
Huh? Well. Right. Yeah, I know. I could have handed the generator to Brady. Still generator shy down one. So I. I saw this last one was my last chance. And then I said, you can't click on that. That's bad news. Click. And I'm like, but what if I won? What if it's real? So I clicked it, and then it said, click here to claim your tractor. And I'm like, well, I need that. I need a tractor. I don't remember signing up for this. So I clicked on it, and then it said, this website. And every other letter was capitalized. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting a letter from everyone here in the building.
Dick Toledo
You might get deported.
Brady
What just happened to our system? Is there a tractor in the parking lot? Hey, by the way. And you. Maybe I get a tractor. Maybe. What if. Well, it's.
John Holmberg
What's the fanduel odds on that, Major?
Brady
Yeah, so I clicked. I'm like, ooh. And when I saw the. Every other letter in caps. And then it said, this website is not affiliated with tractor supply company. And I'm like, the crooks even fine printed it. There's a good chance I could have signed up for a free tractor somewhere along the way. Good chance. I've never visited the tractor supply company for anything. Well, I did look at generators. Where they are.
Dick Toledo
Where are they, Brett?
John Holmberg
There's one like in South Chandlers, one in AJ there's one doesn't go. Yeah, exactly. But this is not one near the Phoenix Grill or AG.
Brady
The tractor supply. Look, bottom line is, there's the Internet. Now I don't have to drive to AJ for tractors. Second, I was looking at generators for a while when Brady was going through his dilemma to see how much those cost. And then Luke from Icon said, I got one for you. And he hooked me over the But I did look. So I might have act. I might have inadvertently signed up to win a tractor. And I won, by the way. Sure you did.
John Holmberg
Congratulations.
Brady
Wow. Right here. And the worst part is, it's on both my Yahoo Private account and work.
Dick Toledo
What happened?
Brady
I clicked on both of them.
John Holmberg
Jesus.
Brady
Maybe this is the one.
Brett
Spin the wheel for extra discounts.
Brady
Well, now that I've done it, may.
Dick Toledo
As well go all the way.
Brady
This is the. This. I won the. Don't half Asset at this point, the tractor supply company. I won the generator on my private Brady. Nice tractor. I won over here. It's a Predator 3500 watt generator. Unfortunately, we must inform you that today is the last chance for you to prepare and activate your free Predator 3500 watt generator. We selected you four weeks ago, tried to contact you several times. If you don't act, I'll. We will receive the gift that is reserved for you. I'm clicking on that again. That's a free generator.
Dick Toledo
But then you are a training video, right? So many different.
Brady
I don't care. Great. Now we're going to get one of.
John Holmberg
Those damn company emails. Here's the phishing scam for you.
Dick Toledo
Don't click on this fishing test.
Brady
I did.
John Holmberg
Did you?
Brady
No. I thought they were fishing.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brady
My argument.
Brett
We need you to take a book, farm it out, and put 10 grand in the book and then send it to us.
Brady
That's not how the Internet works. I'm not an idiot. But if you give me a free thing to click on and I don't have to do any work, I'm clicking on it. Free tractor. I mean, how jealous would you guys have?
John Holmberg
You click on chatterbait, too? It's free.
Brady
Chatterbait is free. And I have. I do struggle with that. Did you ever accidentally try to skip AD and hit it instead and it goes to the page? Of course you have.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
Oh, Chatterbait has a lot of. Tired of masturbating alone. That's masturbating? I guess I am. Yes. I didn't know. I thought masturbating alone was the only option. Really? Find horny singles in your neighborhood? Like in my neighborhood? Well, I just found out there's a UFC fighter down the road. There's a lot I don't know.
Brett
There are tons of teams in your neighborhood.
Brady
Teams? Teams. Not teams. Right. Okay, good. You're on a different site than me. I'm driving my tractor over to that teen's house, and then I got this one, A soft spot for teddy bears. This guy said, john, boy, do I have a soft spot, too. Speaking of stuffed animals, as a kid, I had a stuffed Fievel. Fievel Mousekowitz. Remember from Was that American Tail? Said, I love that thing. One day, my older brother's dickhead friend took a knife and cut a vagina into Fie. What proceeded to stick his thing in there. I was equal parts shocked, sad and angry. And I've not forgotten. I played the long game in revenge. Though later, as a Young teenager. This dickhead had an old Camaro is all hot rotted up and I snuck over there in the middle of the night and slashed all four tires for Fievel. I was gonna put sugar in the gas tank, but figured a new set of tires was a lot cheaper than a new engine. He didn't suspect me, of course. He was a big jock and probably figured it was just a rival high school football guy or something. As a Camaro fan, this was very hard, but I needed justice for Fibo. Oh, he cut a vagina in your stuffed animal and wanged it.
John Holmberg
Funny, though.
Brady
It's not funny, Brett.
John Holmberg
It's funny.
Brady
Think of your teddy.
John Holmberg
But it's not.
Brady
It is true because it's not your teddy. It is funny, but think of your teddy. Put yourself in that some big guy holding you back while another guy dorks your teddy. All right, it is funny, but it's terrible if it happened to you.
John Holmberg
It is, but it didn't.
Brady
So there's a lot of funny things. No, I laugh at when people fall down because it's not me. You're right. Okay. It is funny, but still feel for you. All right, all right, all right. Is it really?
Dick Toledo
Yeah. We gotta take a break.
Brady
Okay, we got the hot. Okay, what about the hot releases? Well, I want a tractor. The tractor. Yeah, we'll get to those in a row. The tractor threw everything off. I might be tooling out of here in a brand new tractor.
John Holmberg

Brady

Brett
