I've heard him yell at his computer a few times this morning where it's basically, all right, I'm done with this guy. And you're like, what happened? It's not my fault. There's 90 people where I told you to go. It's a popular contest. So he's getting mad at the computer. Basically. If you ask where to go and Brett answers, just say thank you. He's like the soup nuts. You just say thank you and move on. But the second you're like, hey Brett, there's already people here. What do I got? Eye in the sky on the thing you asked. I told Move. So Brett, Brett's getting angry at us at the computer. But you can do that. You can ask him through our text. 97936 Toledo and Brett are trying to handle as much as that as they can.

Somebody was hunting for a. A keg and sent me a picture, said, I'm hunting in Brady's neck of the woods. And whatever happened to Gilbert, man, there's graffiti on the side of a trash can that says, gracie likes fat men. C word. Wow. And then it's got a gun to a girl's head drawing. And the C word is the man. C word, like the male rooster. Gracie likes goons.
Brett

John Holmberg
Yeah. Brady, this looks like your handwriting. Gracie likes fat men things. And then they drew a gun blowing a girl's brains out. So not my Gilbert. It says it's goonery. That is goonery. You. You people and your goons. They tried to warn us all that it was coming, that the place was just erupting with goonery. And I'm answering all the questions I can answer as fast as I can on the phone. You can call us 585-9800 to try to find these kegs. It is just. It overwhelms us. We become dispatch. It's crazy. I. Hi. Oh, here we go. Got people texting. Doug Hopkins is upset. Damn it.

John Holmberg
