Still streaming Homburg's morning sickness online@98kupd.com Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Monday. It is 5:45 this, the morning Sickness. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Big Dick Toledo. Off we go on a glorious Monday morning. A beautiful Monday morning. And starts off Easter keg week. Here we go. The Easter keg happens this Friday. Good Friday. You guys can search a mal out. Got him sitting in, loading up, putting in the cars, finding hiding spots, doing all of our stuff. Easter keg gets going and we are wildly excited to have it happen once again. It's. I can't believe it's back. I don't know how many years we've done this, but it is a lot. Five grand in your pocket for the big winner. Everybody gets something when you go. I don't even. What is the price for finding a keg to share?
John Holmberg
They haven't told us.
Brett
They haven't told anybody anything. We don't know yet.
John Holmberg
Is it in the book?
Big Dick Toledo
The book of 100% this morning?
Brett
It'll be here today. Yeah. Is it not in here? Let's take a look. Yeah, I don't even know. Normally you get tickets to a concert if you just find one and then one of them's worth. Is there.
John Holmberg
Is it still a $5,000 keg? I'm not saying anything.
Brett
Maybe it is. Yes. Okay. I know that to be true.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brett
Yeah, you're right. It's not in here.
John Holmberg
I know. Keg number one goes out on Thursday with me.
Brett
Right? You've got it. So Thursday we'll have the first one out, and then the rest will all fly all over the valley for Friday morning so you guys can safely see. Seek out the kegs. Yeah. Safely must be quite safe. Keg hunting. So if we want to. Want to get ready for that, start stretching. I think today's a good stretch day. Start mapping out some areas. I got some new spots this year I'm going to start working on it. Should be a good time. So the Easter keg hunt is happening this Friday. Very exciting about that. I had a. I had a. Strangely, a great day yesterday, but it was a sort of an odd. I have to say, interesting. I haven't golfed since August, probably. And Doug Hopkins called, said, go to golf game going. You want to go to Mace coach club? Like, I. I'll go special guest. I'm like, okay. I showed up. And in our foursome was ASU folk hero Cam Scatter. Boo. Which is cool. Cam's so hanging out with him. I, you know, trying to tell him, got some info about his. His combine draft and all the other things. And I have to tell you that there's absolutely nothing to report as far as the day went by other than fun people having fun. But this kid is. He is so poised. And so it was. It's impressive to have anybody his age hanging out with a bunch of knobs like us. I mean, Doug Hopkins and I are the same age. I know. I know. That's hard to believe. Yeah. You've seen the commercials. I mean, there's no thing. But it's. Yeah. We're a year apart, so. Yeah. So, you know, most of the time, somebody his age, I want to hang out with, he was awesome. So Cam was just such a cool guy, and I, you know, makes you want to root for him even more. And the best part is as poised, humble, and kind as he was the entire day, you couldn't help but notice the massive diamond chain he had around his neck that said scat in block letters about the size of a cell phone. It's huge.
Big Dick Toledo
And he wore that gauze.
Brett
Oh, yeah. It's hilarious. It was awesome. It looks great. It made me realize we were at this for. And Hopkins asked him. He goes, where'd you get that? And he goes, oh, my guy in Atlanta got it for me. I said, you know, he said, no money. What if, you know, we're asking all sorts of money, like where this used to not be a thing, Like a college kid walking around with that, like something. And he said, yeah. I said, they cover this, they do that. But, you know, it was all on the up and up with like, this guy and that guy. But I had to pay for it. I just got a big discount. But it was. It was huge. It was like. It was hilariously rapper big. It was fine and stuck right on. But just this scat across his neck. I'm like, 24 years of doing radio, not one person has ever said, I'm going to build your name in diamonds the size of a small cell phone across your neck. I just want to give you. Give you a heads up that I'm going to do that for you.
John Holmberg
I get more money pond to get on that for you.
Brett
Yeah. Where's Byron? Where's Eric? Where the. Where the boys over there at mo Money pond with the jeweler's eye, meticulously placing diamonds in something that says homie or something like that. No, you can't do that. That would actually be. All right. Could have that across there, homie. Bert Bogan, you get them all. And then Toledo's would be like amethyst or cubic zirconium. It wouldn't be legit, but it would be. Yeah. No one's ever tried it. But yeah, he was cool. Very cool person. And, you know, he'd figure, brad, I just have. Oh, yay. If you have that, too. If you had. I don't know how. He's 23, 22, something like that. I don't know.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah. And maybe he's 28. He said so many years.
Brett
Well, he. Yeah, he's just talking to him was like, man, he's going through something. There's. You start putting that pressure on this. This kid. I mean, he's got a. He's going to get drafted. He doesn't know where you start realizing it's a nice. It's a nice moment he's about to have. But this interim of not knowing anything about your life and having it be in everyone else's hands. He's flying all over the country, meeting this week with, you know, New York and Detroit and all this, and they fly out and do that. And he did say his favorite at the combine was the Steelers. I brought. I had an extra terrible towel in my bag because I have them for Wife and clubs and I had a new one in there. So I want you to have this. This is. Get used to these colors. He goes, the only thing I saved from any of my combine meetings was a terrible towel because it was my favorite meeting. I'm like, because Coach T, do you get Coach T? And he goes, that was great. So he had some, he had some moments. So he. But now he just sits and waits. He doesn't know where he's going to live.
Big Dick Toledo
Anxiety.
Brett
He doesn't know if he's met the people that are going to draf him. It was pretty. It's a, it's like, it's just nerve wracking the whole time.
Big Dick Toledo
And the stories that come out about how you did the combine and, oh, you know, you hear both.
Brett
Yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
I mean, people, you know, the sporting world just like everything else likes to hear say, oh, this guy did not.
Brett
Oh, they show up.
Big Dick Toledo
He's going to go. And his value just went down.
Brett
His analysis or another one. The analysis is all over. He, you know, he is what he is. Everybody knows. How high should he get drafted?
John Holmberg
I don't watch enough. College soon.
Brett
Probably third. We were talking about that. I said, you're not going to, you're probably not going to follow the Steelers because they don't have a second rounder and they're not doing second. Instead, in the third round, I don't think you're going to be where they are. He's projected to be a mid to late third rounder, probably special team, superstar running back, too. But I was, you know, just taken aback. Like certain times you have to say something. So much news goes out about college athletes being dicks and whatever. This guy just hung out with strangers. He didn't know us and couldn't have been more gracious and cool. It was, it was fun. And you think, you know, I already got a coddle and he's got the world by the ass. We had a great moment where he, he hit a putt and he just goes, do you know who I am? And I'm like, God damn it, that's what I want to hear. And then that became the phrase of the day. Anytime you do something good, you do know who I am. As all of us, because we all have a little bit. And then, you know, I get the guy drives his card over. Love the show. He goes and drives away and. And he goes, that guy knows you from the show. And I'm like, cammy, you'll never know. My day is just people. It's constant, constant Recognition you just. You can't get. You never get used to it. You'll probably never experience it. Yep, whatever. And then, you know, another guy comes up to him a few seconds later and taking pictures. But he was awesome. He was such a. Again, poised. That's all I kept seeing. I said, a kid who's got it together for as young as he is and as. As bad as everybody gives, you know, the reputation of people his age and what he's about to go through, you know, with. With rocket ship, I mean, he's. He's the king of ASU right now. He. And I told him that. I said, you realize you're a folk hero. You're not going anywhere no matter what happens. I mean, you could sell insurance. Starting tomorrow, you're always going to be that ASU. You're that ASU guy that, you know, 20 years from now, we'll be talking to the new ASU cam. Scatter. Boo. And you're. And they're going to want to meet you. Like, you've got that. You got that. That swagger at the school until they actually win a national championship or do something huge. You're. You're one of those guys. He just looked at me and he goes, yeah, well, you know, undaunted by the entire thing. Just a good dude. Very cool and very, you know, a lot of people bugging him and coming up, wanting pictures. He was really cool about that, too. So how's his golf game? Terrible. He's horrible at golf. He's just horrible at it. Hopefully he's better at his draft interviews than he is at golf. None of us were any good. It was, you know, one of those days. We just goofing around, having fun. I was impressed, though, because he's in the midst of training. He wanted to drink, and he stuck with water. And we had a good time. It was really cool. So thanks for Doug Hopkins for setting that up and Cam for being out there. And his buddy, he had his friend out there, Frank, who's just a mountain of a human being, 390 pound Frank, just mashing the ball. But it was a good group, but it took me by surprise. But we'll get, you know, we'll get Cam on the show. He said it because Doug's like, you've never listened to the show? And he goes, I'd have to get up for that. I mean, he's in college. Like, what college kid is popping out of bed for not happening? So, yeah, it was cool. It was very neat. So you got a little hero there in asu. And it was a. It was a nice thing. And I'm also taken back that he's just a. Well, he's like. I don't know if he's maybe 5, 9, about 220, but you don't look at him and think, this guy's going to run me over. Like, there's nothing really physically that makes you think, oh, boy. He's a specimen of, you know, just. He's just low center of gravity, full balance. It's just a. It's just strange to see somebody and you start thinking about the Giants that play in the NFL. It's like, man, quicker, quicker game. Oh, he's got. Yeah, he's going. It's. It's. You know, there's some. There's some beasts out there. And then he did have. I tried. I don't know if. I don't know if we got it or not. He had a bloody nose. And I said, well, there it is. I want that. To sign that. And we're going to. We're going to sell your Cam Scatter Boo. You know, face tampon this. His face was gushing, but he's just dry nose. And then he turns to me, he goes, I pick my nose and I peel out these, and I'm like, well, wait a minute.
John Holmberg
What?
Brett
Yeah, I pick my nose all the time. And I was peeling out this middle thing. My nose just bleeds. I'm like, you're not going to want to. You want to keep that out of the draft meetings and the interviews and stuff. Don't bring that up. We can't help it. It's all dried out. This towel was covered in blood. So if we can get the bloody scatter bootel, I'll get that sold to you guys and we'll have that happen. So, yeah, thanks to Cam. It was cool and it is good. It was like those moments when you meet. You know, I always say, never meet your heroes. And it's not. Cam was not my hero, but I. We've been talking about him for a while. I remember. I remember watching a game about two years ago and telling you guys, I'm like, I don't know what's going on over here at asu. Yeah. But there's one kid on that team to watch, and I didn't know his name, so he's got a crazy name after that.
Big Dick Toledo
Then I finally saw him, like, oh, my God.
Brett
Yeah, he's so much fun to watch. He's. Yeah. So you start looking at. Somebody's got A little notoriety and you start wondering, is he gonna be a dick? He wasn't. He was great. Doug Hopkins, on the other hand, still just, you know, it was so great. We went in at the end of the round of golf into the. The 19th hole, the last. The playoff of the Masters was just starting. So we're like, oh, this is perfect. We didn't have to sit through any of the boring golf. We get to watch the final, watch them finish the 18th, and then it's like, oh, it's a playoff. Hopkins commercial comes on. And you know Doug's in there, and people know he's in there. There's probably 80 people in this place. And I start the chorus of boos. Of course, when the commercial comes on, I begin booing the television. And then, of course, our whole table starts booing. Doug's laughing. All of Mesa Country Club began booing Doug Hopkins loudly for the 35 seconds at that spot when that was hilarious.
John Holmberg
Does he sing along with his own commercial?
Brett
We all ended up singing the jingle. Yeah, we all. You can't help it even if you're upset.
Big Dick Toledo
Catchy.

Morning sickness one. Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
Call Doug Hopkins 1-800-cell now.
Brett
So, yeah, it was. It was fun. It was a good day yesterday. And then today we, we worry only about the Amelia Earhart of space travel is happening. The Blue Origins.
Big Dick Toledo
Damsels in space.
Brett
Yeah. Broads in space. It's an all girl crew going up in space. Katy Perry, Gayle King. So a bunch of chicks, they're all going to go up there. Just women.
Big Dick Toledo
Carrie Ann Flynn.
Brett
Yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
They got Amanda Win.
Brett
They do. You realize the amount of pressure on these women. Yeah, I'm looking at that same picture. The, the, the amount of pressure on these women today to absolutely score this hit. They have got to land this perfectly or jackasses like me will have a field day with it for the rest of my life. You must have a perfect flight.
Big Dick Toledo
But is it up to them to land it?
Brett
Well, there's women flying it.
Big Dick Toledo
I don't know how much.
Brett
All women, Brady.
Big Dick Toledo
It's not like the SpaceX.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Big Dick Toledo
It was like. It's automated.
Brett
All women inside of there. So even if it's automated, the trouble's going to be that there's. It's an all female thing.
John Holmberg
How long's the flight?
Big Dick Toledo
I know that factors in.
Brett
People forget. Amelia Earhart had a dude up there that she crashed with that was supposed to be the navigator, but she was the pilot. Flight's 11 minutes.
John Holmberg
Imagine the bitching that can happen in 11 minutes.
Brett
I don't know if they're gonna get, you know, that's gonna. You don't think they're gonna get along?
John Holmberg
Nice pumps, Katie.
Big Dick Toledo
I think the 11 minutes would be fun. It's getting in there early.
Brett
Yeah, he's. He may be right. Is that by the time they're in there, like, oh, if Gail says one more goddamn thing to me.
John Holmberg
Look at this.
Brett
Yeah, it's like the show White Lotus. They had three ladies on the show that were on vacation together. And the entire premise of their story arc was that they Talked about each other behind each other's backs. They weren't real good friends.
John Holmberg
That's what's happening.
Brett
And I even like as I'm watching, I'm like, this is like putting women in a bad light. Like it. Like they can't have a week together without imploding. You know, eventually one hates the other, or they just argue and bicker because they won't stop badmouthing. Like, that's not really. Like some women should get on this and start saying, hey, this isn't right. This we can go out and have. But of course, nobody did because it was so realistic. They, of course they can't go on a vacation for a week together. That sounds crazy, but 11 minutes, that might be the limit. That might be just about right. But we'll see. And Katy Perry and Gayle King will be up there with rocket scientists and Asia Bo. She's a bio astronautics Jesus. I don't even know what that is. Research scientist and civil rights activist Amanda Wynn. A lady named Carrie Ann Flynn. The whole thing's going up. They're going up. And I don't know what time it happens, but lady traveling is about to begin. And I say, remember the last one anyone thinks about? It was Bezos. Was it Bezos? And Shatner was up there. And then a Strahan went up and another flight, a few. So if you do an all female crew and something goes wrong, this is where I think women have flown it with this kind of stuff. Do a mostly female crew in case something goes wrong. It may not even be your fault. But if there's a dude on there, at least it wasn't known as the All. Remember the New Zealand boat? That was the first time. And they made a big deal. It's the first time. It's an all female crew with a female captain. And they crashed. They crashed it into New Zealand, I think. I think they ran directly into their home country and sunk the boat. And of course it's gonna. It makes for jokes. Have a couple guys on there in case something goes sideways. That way you can say, well, he was doing. He screwed it up. Amelia Earhart's supporters never lean on that dude's name. Should be remembered too. The guy that was up there with her. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Nobody knows.
Brett
Nobody knows his name. He never looked at musk. So we can. We can celebrate. We can celebrate. Yes. Well, I mean, it's just not a crashed plane because. And here's the reason why she was screaming and yelling. I get all the credit for this if I Land it. I'll be the first woman to make this flight. And he's like, I'll take a back seat to that. Don't screw it up. Because if you're getting all the credit, you're getting all the blame. And sure enough, no one knows his name. Even in the movie, no one knows who that guy is.
John Holmberg
Fred Noonan. We need to celebrate.
Brett
Fred Freddie Noonan?
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
Guy who took the bullet. All right. You want to fly across the world?
Doug Hopkins
I sure do.
Brett
All right. I don't want anybody to know who I am in case you dump.
Doug Hopkins
Then fine, Fred. You know I won't. I'll be the first woman to fly this flight and it'll be perfect.
Brett
All right, all right. Don't bring me up then. Just sounds good. I'm gonna go back here, I'm gonna.
Big Dick Toledo
Take a little nap.
Brett
You got. That's what. See? And there it is, right there. You just assume he took his hands off the wheel for a second and then the other way around, they were lost.
John Holmberg
Calm down, toots. Let me know if you run into a problem.
Brett
It seems like we got this. He put her on autopilot. Call me when we're about to land. Oh, oh. Fred wakes up yawning. What's going on? I don't know where we are.
Doug Hopkins
I made a turn. I don't know. I don't know. It's all so blue.
Big Dick Toledo
Sure is foggy.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, this is nuts. All I see is water. How big is this planet?
Brett
Oh, great. How much gas do we have?
Doug Hopkins
Oh, it's on the E. We'll be okay.
Brett
Yeah, it was dinner.
Big Dick Toledo
You missed our stop.
Brett
Yeah, we had an exit. You missed our exit. Do you know where we are? We're going to Sedona and somehow or another we're in Page. I took a two hour nap. How did this happen? Yeah, so the all girl blue origin. Heading up now. I got my fingers crossed for you ladies. I want this to be a success because if it's not, jerk off like me are going to make fun of it forever. Amelia Earhart crashed so long ago and still we can reference her as a, you know, a goofy broad with no inner compass. Exactly. And I've pointed it out a million times, ladies, it's your fault that Amelia Earhart gets made fun of by guys because you keep. They were. There was a movement to put her on money. Your only aeronautical hero is known for crashing. You don't want to put her on money.
Big Dick Toledo
I think 6:30 this morning is liftoff our time. Yeah.
Brett
Oh, boy.
Big Dick Toledo
9:30.
Brett
Eastern, that's 6:30. We're 25 and a half minutes away, boys. Okay, okay. Yeah. Hawkins already text me. You are such a dick. I didn't say anything bad about you, Doug. I just said we're the same age. And then made relevance to the fact that no one believes that it's true. Another story I saw this weekend and I don't know how this hasn't been a bigger deal. What a headline. This is Eunuch maker. Mutilator.
John Holmberg
Eunuch.
Brett
Eunuch maker.
Big Dick Toledo
The dude was people volunteering for it.
Brett
That's his M.O. he was a mutilator. It says a self styled eunuch maker. Who mutilated. It was. Yeah, it was people who did it. Paying customers and streamed it online. Has been jailed for 22 years. So if you wanted to be a eunuch, he'd do it for you for a fee. Said Marius Gustavsson admitted offenses including five counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Described as a at a three day sentencing at the Old Bailey as a lunatic and a manipulator and a butcher. 46, had a business, lucrative business in extreme body modifications. And the judge said. All right, that's crazy. You're gruesome, you're grisly. This is terrifying. Extremely dangerous. This is a guy who. It was a story a while ago nobody believed. But he cooked what appeared to be human testicles and then put them on a plate. He kept body parts as trophies and stuff like that. But I'm reading this thing and as I was reading it I was like a. We should have known about this more often. Right? We should have. We should have been listening to the Munich or the Munich maker. Munich Yeager, the Uniq maker for years. We should have known this existed as a store because it was a store.
John Holmberg
It was a store.
Brett
It was a store. Body modification storefront. Like get it all it's been next to Gilbert Ortega.
Brady
Oh, you got to be kidding.
Brett
The Eunuch Maker. And you could go in there and have your body mutilated fo a fee. I didn't think it was people who were. I thought that he got in trouble for doing it against their will because he liked it so much.
Big Dick Toledo
I under a Mr. I thought it was unique makeup.
Brett
Yeah, you're just bad with letters. Dude was chopping people up and it was a store. It was a lucrative store. So I thought he had a store where he'd do like you know, the.
Big Dick Toledo
Lips or the other models just a little.
Brett
Yeah. Things I don't understand. Like why in the world would you, you know, want spears in your lats, you know, to hang out. That's body modification. I don't understand.
Big Dick Toledo
Horns.
Brett
Yeah, yeah. Putting horns in, doing those little bumps, those weird metal things that stick out of people's skulls and getting, getting stuff screwed into your skull. Like all that to me seems like you're just making it a pain in the ass to go to the airport with you. Like, that's all I see. If you've got all that junk, can.
Big Dick Toledo
You split my penis?
Brett
Yeah, sure can, sure. That's a. It's right here. It's a, it's a 5B. If you want to order off the menu of the 5B, throwing a 6B too. And I'll have, I'll have some horns shoved under my skull. Just a pain in the ass to go to the airport with. You know, Prince Albert's, those gigantic things. I don't understand. This guy went to jail for it because he took it too far. People would come in and say, lob my nuts off and hang on to him and he'd do it. He didn't have any boundaries, but he had a pay per view website also, like, you could watch him do this online.
Big Dick Toledo
Procedures.
Brett
Yeah. Which makes me wonder how come he's in jail.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah. And the mutilating part of it, I mean, you think one or two, then you have something. But it was successful. They just didn't like the fact that he's. That people are signing up wanting to have this done.
Brett
Yes. I don't know. I think it's because he started to save stuff. He said that he had other people perform procedures on him, including having a nipple and his penis removed, you know, by some people, like, could you do this for me? I'll give you a discount. And then he had a frozen leg. He kept like somebody. And that was the thing. He was doing like amputations, evidently. I don't know. But if there's a store, that's just bad police work. If it's known as the body mutilation store. I kind of look at it like if the, if the, you know, free market, like there's a body mutilation store over there next to Medea's bar and it's doing gangbusters business. Well, then, you know, the market supports it. There's a, there's a group that you should be allowed to do it.
Big Dick Toledo
Wonder if you had a wheel in there. You spin the wheel for the parts that you're gonna, that they'll take off. You wanna take a chance.
Brett
Hopefully you went in with a plan. There's not a lot of just browsing.
Big Dick Toledo
I want to take something off.
Doug Hopkins
I'm just looking. Thank you.
Brett
Are you sure I want to spin this wheel. Sure. Oh, cool. Left. That's coming off today. Oh, wow.
Doug Hopkins
All right. Well, who knew?
Brett
Hey, carves off your cans.
Big Dick Toledo
I spun it. It's pretty fun. I lost a nipple.
Brett
Check it out. I went to the mutilation room. I wasn't gonna buy anything, but the guy was really convincing. We have people down in our sales department struggle selling this wonderful product. This guy was running a lucrative business, cutting off people's nipples and wieners. We should get him downstairs and screw putting him in jail.

Brett
Let's get rid of Ed. Now, we all kind of look at Ed like he might have a frozen leg in his house, too, but you never know. But yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
Got a lampshade on it.
Brett
Oh, yeah. It's like a major award.
John Holmberg
Oh, and they'll sell them advertising down there?
Brett
Oh, yeah, and we get goose stuff down there. Let's have him selling some kupd. I guarantee at one of those KDKB festivals, his booth's gonna Go crazy.
John Holmberg
Oh, lopping everything.
Brett
I love putting rings through things over there. Anyway, that was a real story. Another thing I saw Saturday morning riding my bike and this makes me mad. I'm. I went. My bike was downtown, so I went and got my bike Saturday and rode at home. It's like 10 miles. It's not that big a deal. So I'm riding up, it's empty. And I'm riding up the road and there's a guy jogging towards me. And I'm like, my eyes aren't quite right. I'm like, what is that? Like something's not right. And we get to the light at McDowell and Central at the same time. He's on the north side, I'm on the south side. We're going to cross. But he stayed. And so that was his turnaround point. So he starts running the other way. And I'm like, oh, he's only got one arm. That's why it looks so funny. I never seen a guy running with his shirt off with just one arm. And it was all the way up to the shoulder. Like, shoulder gone, one arm, sleeve tucked, no, no shirt, shirtless. And he's just, you know, jogging with his one good arm. So I get my bike gets. I get to the next thing and we hit the light to wait. And next to me is one armed man jogger. This is twice in a week I've had one armed guys blow me away. Sun's game. And then this. And I look at him and he's just ripped. He's got chest muscles.
Big Dick Toledo
And how, yeah, how does the one side get. How do you work? Get Peck work.
Doug Hopkins
I don't know.
Brett
It was shredded.
John Holmberg
Like, it was just.
Brett
It was outstanding shoulders.
Doug Hopkins
You know, it was maybe slight nub.
Brett
But for the most part gone. I wouldn't say even nub. Just. Yeah, probably up to the shoulder joint. The humerus bone is gone.
Doug Hopkins
So it was like.
Brett
And it was tight there too. It was like a straight line. But his left pec, which was armless, was outstanding. My God, you can't do push ups. I mean, I'm trying to think of one exercise a one armed man can do to have a better chest than me when I work all the time and it never seems to do anything. He might have gone to the mutilation store. How in the world?
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah, because it seemed like a beast. The only thing is bench pressing and doing different presses.
Brett
Push ups. Bench press.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's doing planks and stuff like that.
Brett
If he's one sign, isn't that just Laying down Brett? I think so. How in the world did. And I wanted to stop him and go, I need you to be my trainer. You've only got one arm and you have a better body than most of the people I know, but you can't do that. That's weird to do to a stranger. Hey, one arm man, come home with me. But I've never seen it before. How does a one armed man have amazing pecs?
Big Dick Toledo
How he went to the unique, Unique store.
Brett
He has to. They had to implant that. But it was.
Big Dick Toledo
That could be too.
Brett
But he's got to keep the other side in shape.
Big Dick Toledo
Could be fresh too.
Brett
Oh, he just lost. He looked pretty confident, though. Pretty shirtless confidence. I think after you lose an arm after. If that was. If he was in the shape he was in with two arms, losing his arm was gonna keep him. He's not gonna just jump right back out there without his shirt on. I'm guessing he's got some, you know, insecurities at a certain point. Nope. Never seen anything like it. Don't know how it worked. I have no idea. Can you just sit and flex that thing all day? How do you do it?
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah, but I don't know if that would build it.
Brett
I don't think it. Not the way it was. And it wasn't like he was jacked. He was just like. It was just defined. It was very defined. Even armless. Incredible chest. I said the armless guy goes by arm solo on social media. He does Spartan races. He's a badass. But how's. Okay, maybe that's true. How do you get that one? That one should be gone.
Big Dick Toledo
During the Masters coverage. They kept showing. I don't think it was the first tee, but it was. There's a bunch of. I mean, I saw the commercial I don't know how many times, but they're all one armed golfers.
Brett
Oh, no kidding.
Big Dick Toledo
It's a new one.
Brett
It's a thing. We're gonna deal.
Big Dick Toledo
There's.
Brett
Yeah, it's one arm golf. Well, that seems pointless. This one says they make attachments so you can work out. Dude's got no arm to attach to.
John Holmberg
Well, you say he's got a little nub there.
Brett
All right.
John Holmberg
I don't know.
Brett
I'm just never seen that either. It was just an attachment. Isn't the other arm doing all the work? I'm not a, you know, I'm not a doctor.
Big Dick Toledo
I'm sure. Think if there was something just a.
Brett
I don't get it.
Big Dick Toledo
Even a straight pole and you have to push with your peck. I don't know.
Brett
I don't know how you do that. Look, I'm saying I got two arms and I can't get a chest as good as his. That's my problem. It's really difficult. Anyway, just thought I'd point that out. Well, I'm glad we know who he is. There's people who are saying, I've seen that guy.
John Holmberg
Is this guy.
Brett
That's a dog showing me a picture? I don't think so. Maybe that guy looks like he's struggling. Spend six days in the gym in relentless pursuit of personal. He's got a rubber band on his other. I could be strong enough to hold my daughter for as long as possible. Well, I was impressed. That might be him. CrossFit and Guy had a hat on. Just because they're pretty wild and wild's kind of my styles. Jeremy is 30 years old and in the best shape of his life, which is. Lord, look at that. He's a machine. Was two years ago. No one knows exactly what happened. But he's got enough, though. He's got, like, a nub that might be a little bit. That might be him.
Big Dick Toledo
Motorcycle. Yep.
Brett
Yeah, Motorcycle wreck. That may be him. I don't know. Whatever he's doing, I need to get on board. Might chop my arm off. I'm going to the unix store and I'm gonna body mutilate and try to get a better.
John Holmberg
Sell the tonal and get on the unix store.
Brett
This tonal thing, which I love, is just not cutting it the same way it is at losing an arm. The losing an arm guy is just wrecked. It's crazy. Get his shirt off. And he looked great. Even this guy doesn't have his shirt off.
John Holmberg
There you go.
Brett
Well, I mean, that's him with both arms, though. That's before the wreck. He's a little thicker there. I don't know. It might have been him. I was just kind of blown away by it. I know this Signs and wonders. The marvels of the universe. It just made you feel. It makes you feel like you're, you know, a whole lump of nothing.
Big Dick Toledo
There's one armed Golfers who are hitting the ball.
Brett
Yeah, they crush it. Well, there was the old pitcher. Was it Dave Trevecki? Is that the dude whose arm fell off when he's pitching? Remember him? Yeah, he was playing. I watched him play golf. One armed. He was remarkably good at it. And he had to learn that in his, like, 50s because his arm fell off in his 30s and he started taking up golf later. The guy. I'll try this. Like, man, that's. But I guess if you only had one arm, that's the way you play. So I might be better at golf with one arm. Not very good at it with two.
John Holmberg
People are saying Jim Abbott. But he was just missing the hand. He still had the down wrist.
Brett
I believe he was chubby. He didn't have a. He didn't have a body on him. Man, if I lost a. If I lost a finger, I'd be fat like a week later. Like, I'd be so. I'd be so. I can't do anything. I have a finger. What do you expect me to do? Pick things up? I. I have nine. I'd be the worst amputee ever. I'm not one of those inspirational guys you'd see on TV later, you know, climbing trees and you know, do I.
John Holmberg
Troy Hayden's not gonna be interviewed.
Brett
Man, the inspiration on this guy be just like, no, I'm just denting a couch. That's my. I lost either.
Big Dick Toledo
But here's the bridge that he jumped off.
Brett
We found the one our man dangling by his rope. I would. Yeah, there would not be a. There'd be nothing to that story. It'd be like I'd be known as the couch wrecker because I blow through couches like crazy just making huge dents where I don't move for days. He hasn't gotten him. The. The best thing about my one armed life would be my water bill because I wouldn't even shower. What's the point? I'd be horrible at it.
John Holmberg
Tommy Lee Jones isn't going to be chasing you all.
Brett
Nope, there'd be none of that now. You kill anybody in my family and whatever. I'm not even. I'm not even looking into it. I've only got the one arm. It's crazy anyway. One arm guy, tip of the cap to you. I was feeling pretty good about myself because I never get up to do anything on a Saturday and I wanted to get my bike, get my bike home and ride by this Adonis with one arm. I'm like, well, I'm not doing anything. And what I do the second I got home, ham and cheese sandwich. I worked it all. I worked it all right back on. I could have been, you know, nice 10 mile ride, brisk, strong.
John Holmberg
Nah, you didn't ride your bike in front of this delight rail or anything like that for seeing one arm manages.
Brett
I thought about it. I thought about it. It's like I'll never be. He's everything. I. I'm a lump of nothing. Yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
I felt the other way a little.
Brett
Bit this weekend because you feel pretty jacked.
Big Dick Toledo
Not jack, but a little bit better because I watched the whale. Finally, the Brendan Fraser one.
Brett
That was an inspirational movie. The other way.
Big Dick Toledo
Feel a little bit better about yourself.
Brett
Yeah. That's a good way to look at that. Wow. Those rose colored glasses were the meta. Rose glasses.
John Holmberg
Oh, man.
Doug Hopkins
This movie's uplifting.
Big Dick Toledo
You know what? I'm gonna go play golf.
Brett
That's one of the most depressing, most depressing movies I've watched maybe ever. And Brady took it as, this is great. Things aren't so bad.
Doug Hopkins
I've got a lot of room to grow.
Brett
Yeah. That's a tough one. Oh, yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
That's why. I mean, is it two years old?
Brett
Yeah. Like, why do I.
Big Dick Toledo
Why would I watch this movie?
Brett
What motivated you to watch the whale in the first place?
Big Dick Toledo
Ronnie. We were looking at me. You want to watch this?
Brett
She said, you need to see something. I want to show you something.
Big Dick Toledo
Sandwich in my hand.
John Holmberg
The whale.
Big Dick Toledo
Put it down in the plate.
Brett
Was your face all wet from the grease and stuff? That was my. That was the hardest thing about that movie is his face was always just coated.
Big Dick Toledo
That's what I was thinking was like, imagine doing those.
Brett
Just doing the scenes, just covered in oils and greases. Freddy watched the whale and said, I'm doing all right. That is a great spin on a movie that's supposed to have a totally different message.
Big Dick Toledo
But too bad for him.
Doug Hopkins
Some guys just don't know how to keep it together.
Brett
Ronnie's just staring at you, dude. What did you take from that?
Doug Hopkins
What did I take from that? I got a ton of room. This is great. Thanks for showing me that. I was kind of down on myself.
Brett
And now the whale. You have goals. I'm not the whale. Like, anytime bronnie's, like, you think you put on a couple extra.
Doug Hopkins
Nah.
Brett
Come on.
Doug Hopkins
Not even close to the whale. That's. That's where we draw lines.
Brett
All right. I suppose then you had a big dinner because you're like, oh, celebration there.
Big Dick Toledo
That meatball sub, that double meatball sub that she'd bring them.
Brett
You're looking in the mirror scene. That's. That looks good. I mean, you're essentially, you know, Dallas Buyers Club at this point. When you look in the mirror, there's nothing about you that should feel bad at all. You're not the whale.
Big Dick Toledo
Walk the dogs.
Brett
Oh, dude, I'm gonna get your shirt. Says I'm not the whale and the thumbs up on the bottom. It's perfect. Let's get a Wake up song. Start this day off beautifully as we head towards the Easter keg hunt on Friday. You give it to us good and strong. We'll scream at 585-9-800.
