98Kupd.Com John Gordon, who hid the keg on Gilbert and Vaughn has text me and said it is in the top level of the parking garage I guess which means level up. To find this you have to go up a level. So I guess that's level two. I don't know how big that parking garage must be, but that's there. Yeah, we got a whole bunch of this guy.
John Holmberg
That one has been found by the way. Crossed off on the new update.
Larry McFailey
Okay, before I move on with the entertainment drill, yesterday I went to Lost our Home pet rescue and met Rocket and Rocket is awesome. Rocket was returned and he's the pick of the litter this week. Oh Bob. Brought to you by our friend at Turf Monsters. Oh, just finished pouring my slab for my basketball court in the backyard. Very excited about that. That's another story. Rocket is available. Rocket was Derringer. We did Derringer a little while ago, got adopted and the people who had a one year old dog that's good size and I remember the video we did, it's like hey, it's a one year old good sized 70, 80 pound dog. It's going to bounce off you a little bit. You know, be, be prepared. Well they'd come home and and they renamed him Rocket. Rockets bouncing off the walls like, this dog's nuts. And so Rocket would try to play with them and grab at, you know, some dogs. Some. My dogs do it. They. They soft bite you. Yeah. And grab this. As his dog bites. It's like. Doesn't bite. It's like he says, you know, he's mouthy. He's too mouthy. And they were worried about it. I'm like, you know what? Best thing that ever happened to that dog. They put him back and we'll give him to somebody who understands it. The dog is one. He's going to use his mouth for things. He's not biting. He did yesterday. I played with him. He gave me a little bump and a little. He does that in the air, like, okay. That scares somebody who doesn't know dogs because he's just playing with me. There was no. He's mouthy. He needs some attention. He needs to be worn out. And he's big, awesome dog. Sweet as can be. So go to 98kupd.com and check out the pick of the litter brought to you by turf monsters, because Rocket is ready to go. And with somebody who hopefully understands dogs. Active somebody too. Bigger kids. I will say that if you've got small kids, this dog's gonna knock him over like crazy. He wants to play. He's been. He's got energy. He's an athlete. It would be like having, you know, your first round draft pick in the NFL and you're like, all right, we're gonna put you in the small apartment. You can't leave. He needs to move. He's gonna go nuts in a small space. He needs somebody who loves him. And man, Rocket was cool. So look at him. Lost her home. Pet rescue. They also need help over there with foster families. They've got large dogs coming in, a lot of them right now. So large dog foster families would be awesome. Kittens, too. It's kitten season. Kittens are here and it's bottled baby bottles. They got the kittens. The kittens are out now, Brady. And you have to be hyper aware. So foster families for them. My heart bleeds for these people. They're amazing human beings over there and they've got some needs. So let's get rocking a home. They'll waive the adoption fees and put him in a place he belongs with fun people that are willing to wear him out. Maybe even take him out for a keg hunt. You could warn. Rock it out all morning. It would have been great. So thank you to Our friends that lost our home, pet rescue and turf monsters who I'm falling in love with every day with what they're doing at my house right now. I put together this project, and they're getting it done so quick, it's beyond belief. I love it. Brady, it's time for the entertainment drill.

I think it was earlier this week, but the legendary Rainbow bar and Grill rang in its 53rd anniversary.
Larry McFailey
The rainbow.
Brady
Yep, the Rainbow Bar and Grill. And they also quietly cut a deal with the multiple women who alleged that disgraced porn star Ron Jeremy groped him. This was a couple years ago.
Larry McFailey
Ron Jeremy was. Oh, it was?
Brady
Yeah.
Larry McFailey
During. Me, too. He was still groping or. They just filed the suit. Two years ago.
Brady
They filed the suit.
Larry McFailey
Okay, two years ago. When was he groping them?
Brady
2021.
Larry McFailey
Oh, he groped them in 2021 during COVID He was at the Rainbow grabbing people. I don't want him grabbing me when everybody's healthy but Covid and Ron Jeremy.
Brady
Yeah. At the time, it was up to 34 sexual assault counts.
Larry McFailey
That's a lot.
Brady
Involving over 20 victims, ranging in age from 15 to 50.
Larry McFailey
One man, 34.
Brady
Yeah, well, he still has to deal with the civil lawsuit on that, but the ones that stood out Were two girls at the Rainbow Bar and Grill.
Larry McFailey
Stop calling it that. Just call it the Rainbow. He's so excited about them having a grill. You would never set foot in the Rainbow.
Brady
I wonder. I haven't. I've never heard about the grill there at the Rainbow.
Larry McFailey
Right. Because it's not known for that. It's known for Motley Crue fingering you against your will. And now Ron Jeremy as well.
John Holmberg
What does the bar have to do with that?
Larry McFailey
No. No idea. We knew it was a bar. Yeah. And why is the bar.
John Holmberg
Again, why are they getting sued?
Larry McFailey
Yeah. Just the Rainbow.
Brady
Because they knew what was going on.
Larry McFailey
No, we understand that. We're saying get the bar out of there. You know, the bar has nothing to do with this. And if the Rainbow Grill. That's the problem.
Brady
Employees were helping out with the groping. We saw the video released earlier this week. Gene Hackman, you know, when the police went in there and showed.
Larry McFailey
Yeah.
Brady
Now they've uncovered a bunch of notes. Post it. Notes that are lying around the house that he left to his wife. And she would leave him most of the notes that she would leave him. I'm going to the spa.
Larry McFailey
Right.
Brady
And he would leave notes kind of like, ho, ho, I'm off to see the Wizard. The wizard of Achi Pokey because his mind's going in and out. But the wizard of Oz, because she stabs me here, she stabs me there. She stabs me almost everywhere.
Larry McFailey
These are.
Brady
That was a note. Yeah.
Larry McFailey
This is stuff we don't. We don't need to know this.
John Holmberg
Don't care. Well, he's 90 something. Let him go.
Larry McFailey
Just don't need to know this stuff. There's a certain aspect of voyeurism that has to have. You know, I get it if you're peering in their windows and you're laughing at. But why is this being released to us?
Brady
Yeah. The last one was I love your labs. I don't know.
Larry McFailey
Wow.
Brady

Larry McFailey

John Holmberg
Hang on. I got.
Brady
Well, and that was the first time that I had heard it. I kind of recognize a little bit, maybe. But I'm thinking that is Metallica. I mean, that's where they would get definite influence.
John Holmberg

Larry McFailey
I gotcha. Not playing. Yeah. Pretty basic, too.
John Holmberg
Tony Iommi, the king of the riffs, but.
Larry McFailey
Very Metallica. Even with the drums being that all the time. Yeah. Wow. How about that? All right. And Ozzy was in it then. Yeah.

Larry McFailey
I'd see that. Oh, no, wait. They're gonna. They're gonna not play it live. The five remaining members will sit in their wheelchairs and watch other bands do it here in June or July, whenever that show goes on for their final performance, which I think will be sad.
John Holmberg

Larry McFailey
Unreal. This British thing they got going. And then those guys take the stage.
John Holmberg
Last and it' Tony's still with it.
