1. NFL Draft Day One: The Cardinals' Strategic Play

The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the NFL Draft, focusing primarily on the Arizona Cardinals' performance and strategic decisions.

Host John Holmberg commends the Cardinals for their "average general manager, an average coach and a team that understands this is how you draft boring," emphasizing the benefits of a measured approach over flashy picks. He remarks, “You draft a defensive lineman from Ole Miss, you take a need that's there, it's a good pick, you move on, nobody's paying attention to you.” (03:00).

The discussion shifts to Shador Sanders, a highly touted quarterback prospect whose draft stock seemed promising. Holmberg expresses relief that the Steelers refrained from selecting Sanders in the first round, predicting he might land with the Cleveland Browns where his career prospects could be limited. He states, “he’s probably end up at Cleveland Brown, where his career will go absolutely nowhere” (03:30).

Larry McFeely and Byron add their insights, debating the influence of Deion Sanders on Shador’s draft position. McFeely suggests that Deion’s controversial reputation might have both aided and hindered Shador, stating, “Same with Shador. Same with people. Forget. Dion's got another kid on that Colorado team playing defense that nobody talks about because he's quiet.” (04:30).

The panel also touches upon the strategic avoidance of drafting quarterbacks early unless absolutely necessary, with McFeely asserting, “I have been a supporter of little tidy Kyler Murray. People always say they can't see over the line. Average lineman in the NFL.” (06:00).

Notable Quotes:

• John Holmberg (03:00): “You got 15 needs, you got one guy. Cardinals, you're now boring. Which means you're on the right track.”
• Larry McFeely (04:30): “Same with Shador. Same with people. Forget. Dion's got another kid on that Colorado team playing defense that nobody talks about because he's quiet.”

2. Personal Update: Larry’s Spider Bite Recovery

Shifting gears, Larry McFeely provides a personal update regarding his recent spider bite, which has been a topic of concern among listeners.

Larry shares that the initial swelling from the bite has subsided, and he describes the progression: “It's much better now. It's a little bit more red. But the feeling's back in my ass.” (05:57). He humorously recounts his self-diagnosis from online sources, suspecting an allergic reaction exacerbated by laundry detergent, akin to a previous incident in high school.

He further elaborates on his recovery, mentioning, “I was poisoned by one of God's creatures that has no purpose to do that kind of stuff to a human being. But it did. And I should be okay by now.” (22:01). Larry invites listeners to view photos documenting his recovery, jokingly referring to it as “Ass Cam,” highlighting the lighthearted nature of his update.

Notable Quotes:

• Larry McFeely (05:57): “It's much better now. It's a little bit more red. But the feeling's back in my ass.”
• Larry McFeely (22:01): “I was poisoned by one of God's creatures that has no purpose to do that kind of stuff to a human being.”

3. Maricopa Road Rage Incident: A Grim Reminder

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing a disturbing road rage incident that occurred in Maricopa, Arizona.

Larry McFeely narrates the incident where a man, upon being flipped off by another driver, responded by shooting off his hand: “Man Shoots Other Man's Hand Off In Maricopa Road Rage Incident” (28:54). He critiques the over-the-top reaction, stating, “road rage, it's not worth it.” (32:05), and explores the cultural implications of such extreme violence in everyday disputes.

The hosts debate the underlying issues leading to such incidents, emphasizing the dangers of escalating anger on the roads. McFeely sarcastically muses about the nature of Maricopa, hinting at its transient and rough reputation: “Maricopa is a place where you go temporarily. That's not a real place to end up.” (31:14).

**Larry also shares anecdotes and speculative thoughts on the societal factors contributing to such violence, reinforcing the message that road rage should be managed without resorting to lethal measures. He advises, “Have your road rage the old fashioned way. Do it like I do it. Scream and yell into the ether some of the worst words that have ever been invented in the English language.” (32:05).

Notable Quotes:

• Larry McFeely (28:54): “road rage, it's not worth it.”
• Larry McFeely (32:05): “Have your road rage the old fashioned way. Do it like I do it.”

The conversation also touches on community events, sports, and personal anecdotes, providing a well-rounded and engaging discussion that reflects the show's intent to entertain and provoke thought.

• Larry McFeely (24:41): “But yeah, we don't need that.”
• Larry McFeely (37:00): “His girlfriend is probably gonna leave you for other reasons if you're that paranoid that a policeman can't pull her over without you getting jealous.”

[Larry McFeely]

Morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil.

[Brett]

Sitting right here.

[Larry McFeely]

Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. 98. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Friday. It is 5:45 this. It's the morning sickness. It's April 25th. We're moving right along and it's a beautiful day outside. My name's John Brady. Brad we went through that the draft last night. All eyes in America seem to be on the draft, which was outstanding. And Cardinal fans, welcome yourselves into normalcy. You've got, you've got a, you've got an average general manager, an average coach and a team that understands this is how you draft boring. You draft a defensive lineman from Ole Miss, you take a need that's there, it's good pick, you move on, nobody's paying attention to you. You're not in that, that weird, you know, terrible team that wins the super bowl every April, like the Browns or Giants or those crap teams are always like, oh, that's the best pick ever. You got 15 needs, you got one guy. Cardinals, you're now boring. Which means you're on the right track. That's a great thing. Really good teams never make splashes in the draft because they usually don't have to. And Shador Sanders was the most interesting thing on the draft last night. Dion Son, which, you know, it's a reach to bring him into the first round in the first place, let alone there aren't a lot of quarterback needy teams. But I'll tell you this, I'm smiling ear to ear that my Steelers didn't reach for Shador Sanders in the first round and he's still available, probably end up at Cleveland Brown, where his career will go absolutely nowhere. So happy days abound for that Dion's son in Cleveland that lasts two years max before there's absolute soap opera drama everywhere.

[Byron]

I'd like to see that.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, I'd love to. I'd. Well, the Browns implode at every, every chance. I can watch something from Cleveland to just die on a vine and then like get revived and then die in a vine again. Like, I'll do it. Cleveland eats it. So Lavar Ball all over again.

[Brett]

That whole nightmare with the dad, actually.

[Larry McFeely]

Lavar then to, to their credit, Lavar Ball and Deion Sanders have done a magnificent job of raising their kids. They have. They have no trouble at all. They're a great athlete and even when things didn't work out their own. But he is such a have to deal with dad pain in the ass. But I mean, Lavar Ball got a lot of heat for being a loudmouth idiot who did a lot of dumb stuff and he was. Yeah. And he made him. He made himself the idiot. Deion Sanders is the same thing. All that dude has done in his career is one. That's all Deion Sanders has ever done. But his personality is so awful to Deal with just generally that people think he's. He's a troublemaker.

[Byron]

He's a team.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, right. But I mean, all he's ever.

[Brett]

Dale, he'll tell you.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, he hates him. He's on it. Yeah. Dale was on his team and didn't like him. I mean, it's just an absolute reputation. And it's. It's his loud mouth. He wins wherever he goes. Wherever he goes, he has always been a winner. People. People still look over and go, I don't need that drama coming my way. I don't need you bringing your dad to the house on a regular basis. It's Levar ball. It's a great comp. And Lavar Ball was another one loud. Jesus, do we need this guy showing up? Do we need. Yeah, but he raised really good kids. The one kid screwed up at UCLA and went out and did the stupid thing in China. Should have gone to jail for it. And. But the other one, you know, they're good players. They, you know, kept to themselves. They did all right. They're not, you know, dickheads. Same with Shador. Same with people. Forget. Dion's got another kid on that Colorado team playing defense that nobody talks about because he's quiet. He gets the job done. He's probably not going to get drafted. He's okay. And another, you know, respectful, good person. But it's the bling of Deion that nobody wants. And it has hurt Shador Sanders that Dion's name is attached to him. Because if it was Dion or a Shador Vesely, I tell you this, people would probably look at him and go second, third round quarterback. So it's helped him and it's hurt him in both regards.

[Byron]

He's looking at making less in the NFL than he did.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, possibly.

[Brett]

Oh, no kidding.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, it's possible. Because that nil. My. Well, it's. You know, and that makes sense to me. And there's a ton of money in college football. You were the best player west of the Mississippi, probably. And you made a ton of money for your school and made a ton of money for tv. Colorado was on TV all the time because of him. Cause of Dion. Cause of Travis Hunter. And now you're not anything again. You're. You were a college superstar. That's meh. Big deal. The NFL's where it's at. And see if you can graduate to the next level.

[Byron]

Quality outfits last night, too.

[Larry McFeely]

They do dress up well. I did. Like, my favorite moment of the whole draft was when the Saints drafted their guy and they Went to his house and that baby was throwing up all over the mom. It was awesome. The baby was puking all over the. I guess it was the. It wasn't the mom of the player. It was probably the player, his girlfriend and their baby. This baby was just heaving onto this lady's cans. It was hilarious. And I'm telling you right now, if I'm. If I'm any team that needs offensive line help, Ashton Genty, the running back from Boise State when he got drafted, whoever he hugged, the woman he hugged before he walked up to the podium, she needs to be on somebody's O line. That lady was 375 if she was a pound. I don't know how she got into the dress she was in. I'll tell you this, nil money for college kids is being spent on food for their surrounding, their entourages, because every single family was fat as it was. Incredible. You got the throwing up baby. Yeah. Oh, it's awesome. The throwing up baby was my favorite moment of the whole draft because otherwise it was relatively kind of, you know, meh, boring. Yeah. This baby just starts puking all over. Watch this. Getting rattled around. Just great puking, baby. Saints guys all happy. Nobody's paying attention. That kid who's choking on something, which is pretty great. So there you go, Cardinal fans. You got yourself a good player. And the city can be happy that you're not jackassing around as a terrible team anymore. You're in the middle. You're a middle team trying to build something. And it's all on the shoulders of a mid midget. Next year and one more chance for the midget, and then you move on. It's pretty impressive that this new regime came in and kind of calmed everything down. It's like, calm down. We build the trenches, have done a good job in free agency. The Cardinals are actually on the right track. It just depends on the midget. That's it. And until you get quarterback. Right, you don't have a team anyway. It's gotta be this.

[Brett]

Gotta be it for him, Kyler.

[John Holmberg]

This is it for him.

[Brett]

I would think.

[Byron]

I was saying they pulled the trigger on Shador Sanders at the time.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, look, you start getting into the second and third available now, I know right now you're thinking you're not going to reach for. Nobody's going to trade for him. If they do, they're dumb. They've got five or six quarterbacks that are just a little bit less athletic than him. And he's not a running quarterback. He got you Know Melro and Shuck and geez, Will Howard's out there. They've got a whole bunch of guys that are still there. If they, if they took a quarterback in the third round and just basically said, we'll take a chance with this guy if he turns into something he is not. We didn't invest much. You move in Tyler's last chance. I think you're right. And I have been a supporter of little tidy Kyler Murray. People always say they can't see over the line. Average lineman in the NFL. 6, 5 average. Most quarterbacks can't see over the line. You're trying to see through it. You're Josh Allen. Josh Allen and. And Ben Roethlisberger were both six, six.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

I mean, those are. There aren't a lot of guys that are taller than their line. So it's. It's not a matter of jumping over them. It's a matter of seeing through the passing lanes and knowing where guys are going to be. Kyler is little. But the bigger problem for me with Kyler Murray was that their coaches always said, kyler, you're an athlete. Go get him. Here's the play. If it breaks down, it's all on you. Cliff Kingsbury didn't have any plan for Kyler Murray outside of be the best athlete on the field. And he was a lot of the times, until other teams are like, all right, he's the only one that can beat us. They shut him down. And then he. And also the other part of Kyler Murray seems to be sort of an entitled baby with his video game clause and contracts and things. Like, they kind of recognized, oh, he might not be the best leader on the field. So he's got one more chance. And now they've got a defensive lineman that's just a monster. So congratulations, Cardinal fans. You're normal. You're being normal. You're no longer the weirdos who need a guy and have to go get a splash player. And you get all the attention in May in the NFL. That's the worst thing you can be is the team that's getting all the attention in May. Trust me, I'm going through that right now.

[Brett]

Yeah, I was at EOS yesterday. What did you guys do?

[Larry McFeely]

I just drafted an awesome defensive lineman from Oregon that I had my fingers crossed we were going to go get. But when Shador Sanders fell to 21, me and all the Steelers that I was with, I was with my friend Chris. But my phone had every fan that I know, and we all just. We're good. We'll take anything outside. We don't want the Shador Sanders, you.

[Brett]

Know, because you got Aaron.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, probably going to end up with probably Aaron Rodgers, but it's still better than reaching for a quarterback in the first round.

[Byron]

We got an edge rusher.

[Larry McFeely]

We'll see. Yeah, the bugs on the other side. Erickson, he's not going to be there. You mean Hendrickson Henderson? Yeah, yeah.

[Byron]

Erickson.

[Larry McFeely]

Are you talking Bengals football right now? Oh, yeah. Okay. I don't know. I don't remember anybody asking if who Brady's team said, who'd you guys get? No, he's asking me. Nobody. Trust me. Nobody cares about now. Who do you guys get meeting Steelers. Nobody cares who the Bengals drafted. You don't even know who the. You don't even know who the other. The best player on their team. And he's not even going to be there anymore. He's demanded a trade. Bengals fans all about their tap and yet. Yeah, well, it will. Fact of the matter is, that's what they should be focused on. I'll teach him about his cruddy team. So when he says you guys, he's not talking about me and you. He's talking about the team that I support. Because absolutely no one will ever ask a Bengal fan what's going on in Cincinnati. No one cares. No. Yeah. Who day. Exactly. Because everybody's like, the Bengals. Who are they? Nobody knows who day. Yeah. You're never gonna go. So tell me more about the Bengals. Nobody's ever said that.

[Byron]

Brett, you missed a solid opening to the draft, too.

[Brett]

I heard about Clay.

[Byron]

Clay Matthews.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, yeah, The Bears still suck. That was pretty great. Yeah, that's a. That's a Packers thing that they have billboards and things. And they had that one guy that had that robot head on and it was spinning across his face. It said, no matter what happens here tonight, the Bears still suck. And it was like a daft helmet. Morning sickness. 88 K U P D Spring is.

[Larry McFeely]

Customs.Com Holmberg's Morning Sickness, Brad Williams last night was very funny on the NFL Network. Before the draft, they were showing, you know, little entourages for each team up front. And there's the Steelers and there's the Eagles. Then they show the Broncos and there's a little person and he stands around. I'm like, hey, that's Brad Williams, comedian Brad Williams. And they cut away from it and they go to the thing, and then one of the guys in the thing goes, hey, hey, can we go back to the Broncos? Because we're not going back there. We're not doing that. He thought he was trying to go back to make fun of little people. He goes, what did I just see? What was that? He's like, no, no, no. Every fan is fine. And like, they were just basically. And I'm like, that Fred Williams, you actually got a little celebrity. And they were worried that it was going to turn into laughing at the midget bronco fan, which was hilarious. But yeah, a lot of teams just did the basics. I don't think this draft is is exciting. They're trying to make it exciting, but now you've got that. So now you got Camscatter Boo over at his house today with ESPN showing up. And they're going to do what they did to Deon's son. They're going to film him acting sad every time a team didn't do it. And when the Giants traded back in and got Jackson Dart and they went. They didn't go to Jackson Dart for very long. Let's go see how Shador reacted to this, because they just got. He just got jumped over by a quarterback that they thought was less than him. Oh, boy. And then Shador has to go up in front of all those people in Texas at his draft party and give a little speech about how he feels about falling out of the first round.

[Brett]

See y' all tomorrow.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah. And my favorite thing is, is the poor grammar. Because, you know, Colorado, he didn't. You know, when they draft, when they got Dion as a head coach, they put up billboards in an institute of learning that said, we come in. So they were. They were big on the education and always have been at all colleges for sports. We come in. Proper grammar. And he said, this didn't happen for no reason, which is a double negative. Meaning this actually had a lot of reasons. And I agree with him. If you look at him for what he actually. This didn't happen for no reason. Hmm. Actually means everything that just happened happened for a reason. Your words, not mine. And boy, is that the truth. So I feel bad for Shador because I don't think he's that bad. And I think it's all about his dad.

[Brett]

Do you think he was a first rounder.

[Larry McFeely]

If there was a real super needed quarterback or if a team like, you know, I don't know if the Rams would have taken them because they've got an older quarterback. And you're like, yeah, Stafford's got a year or two left. And if, you know, Shador is good, but he's not going to start next year or shouldn't start next year. Maybe. Probably that would be a nice place for him to sit behind a guy who's established and whatever. But I don't think you draft a quarterback in the first round to have a backup. If you draft a quarterback in the first round, you want him to play. They did it in New York with Jackson Dart, who's also a guy that you know. But if they didn't, the Browns probably would have, and that was their guy. So they had to jump to get him. It's a reach. None of the quarterbacks outside of Cam Ward were First round picks this year? I don't think so. There's plenty of them left. If you got dudes that you're like, yeah, we'll test them out. Next year's a better quarterback draft. Anyway, so it was fun. The draft is so fun. Fun for no reason at all. And I looked at that. There were there 114,000 residents of Green Bay. That's the population of that city. There were 270,000 people in the city that don't live there. And they're anticipating, like 260, something like that.

[Byron]

Roger said 127,000 at the event last.

[Larry McFeely]

And there are tons of people there that they're like, this is incredible. Incredible that they. They have that kind of number that's from outside the town. And this. You imagine that that would be like, you know, I don't even know how many people live in Casa Grande, but it's got to be close, like. And you just. You triple their size in a day. Yeah, it's incredible.

[Byron]

There's going to be semi after semi pulling in. Oh, supplies.

[Larry McFeely]

It's nuts. I can imagine getting a restaurant or you'd have to drive all the way to Milwaukee or something like, FEMA trucks rolling disaster. And when I suck at Fyre Festival, I have friends who say, well, no, it's not, because something's actually happening. Fyre Festival is just like, everybody, where's the stage? They didn't even build a stage.

[Byron]

They're ready for it.

[Larry McFeely]

The draft is in Pittsburgh next year, and I've got friends like, we're going. And I'm like, did you watch that? It's. It's Roll Call. Do you want to stand there and watch Roll Call? I mean, the most exciting thing that happened last night live was the black national anthem. And then some hillbilly from Indiana made me want to hear the black national anthem again. I don't know what that dude doing the national Ant singing, but he bored me to tears. And then. And then, you know, in the middle of it, there was a couple announcements by Laura Rutledge, the hot chick from espn, and Colleen Wolf from NFL Network that said here, the. The schedule release. The schedule Release will be May 14th, I don't think. I think it's only quiet because you have to have talking mics, kill ambient mics. I don't. I think they just had it all on. It was weird because it was dead on, like a. A inline mike that didn't sound like had any ambient sound because you know.

[Byron]

That they were talking. It's like, you could almost. Man, if someone spoke up, you could hear that one voice.

[Larry McFeely]

I know exactly why that happens. They put two incredibly hot NFL reporters up there and gave them a live mic and killed. There was direct mics. They were unidirectional mics. You can hear it. They don't pick up anything outside. And they killed all the ambient. Because all those drunks up front were like, me, Laura Rutledge, me. You can't. They were screaming. They bristled. Girls.

[Byron]

You could at least hear some slaps, too.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, some. Yeah. In Green Bay, you don't get women like that. They're screaming out, show your place. God. Normal looking woman. Show your. Yeah. These were two beautiful ladies. Green Bay's never seen anything like those two. They were decked out. They roll out on stage. It's like, kill the ambient mics. Green Bay is going to lose it. We're going to lose our license. So it was fun. And it'll go on again today. Two more rounds and then the weekend is just a, you know, scooping up people like crazy. Hopefully Cam Scatter Boo of ASU gets drafted today, so there's no drama at his house.

[Brett]

Do the cameras go back to the DMs house?

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, if he, if he opens up that tent again. That's the thing. He had a big draft party last night and so ESPN was like, oh, thank you. Because now you've got sad family members, sad friends. ESPN loves that. So will he go back down to the tent, get all dressed up again and have everybody hanging out with him a second day? I think he goes quick. I think he's probably going to get picked early. So I don't think he goes, they might have a little get together at. Over at like Zips or something of some local bar. The Sanders family will go over to Texas for that or maybe at his house and. But I wouldn't invite the cameras over. That can be embarrassing. That was fun. A quick update on my ass, which a lot of people are asking about my ass. And that's a normal day for me. It is. It's all better, pretty much. The swelling started to subside yesterday. The puffiness, I guess the crusty, odd nature. The texture is very smoothed out. The color is much darker but clean. It's clearly a spider bite that I was having a reaction to. I read online last night that there's a chance when you get bit by a spider, your laundry detergent can cause a blood allergy. And I've had this before. I forgot in high school, I got bit by Something. And my mom switched laundry detergent and I got the biggest welt on my body you could ever imagine. And my doctor said, you have a. You're allergic to your laundry detergent. And it got in your system and created this nightmare on this bite. And I'm like, no kidding? So possibly. But I'm all better. I feel great. No staff. It was a bite. That's good. Nothing but a bite I had.

[Byron]

What about the foot? Same thing.

[Larry McFeely]

Foots. Yeah. Foot's just a little. That's just an itchy bite. No big deal. The. I had lunch yesterday with the guys from Turf Monsters. The guys and the lady, Heather. She was there and I was show them. I was. I was thinking about it. We were up at Flower Child in Scottsdale. I'm like, you want to see it? I'll show it. I have no issues with. And Mike, we know Mike from Turf Monsters was kind of like, nah, I'm good. We're gonna eat in a minute. And I'm like, yeah, okay, I'll show you if you're interested. You got to see this. But I was still in that don't sit on it, it's making me dizzy mode. And I read. I diagnosed myself. I'm basically a doctor of the Internet. Internet MD I call myself. And it said that if you've got poison still in the system, you can kind of release it. Chances are it was a black widow, possibly a scorpion, but I think I'd have felt that. And then. Or any other sort of mildly venomous spider that can. You can have pockets of the poison still in there and you can release it when you. When you. When you hit it. And it was numb. Like I had novocaine in my ass. I could do pictures today if you're interested of a follow up of what it looks like now. It's much. It's much better. It's a little bit more red. But the feeling's back in my ass. And I thank you all for your concern and everybody who's been asking. It's been. It's been a. Been a long 48 hours and 24 of which you guys knew about. But my ass is back to normal and I appreciate all the kids. The city, the city rallied. I drove by a water tower the other day, save Holmberg's ass. And I was like, oh, it's just like Ferris Bueller. This is the city rallied behind my ass.

[Byron]

And I sweep the house tonight seeing if there's other black widows around there.

[Larry McFeely]

If that's the case, you think there's I have a. Yeah.

[Byron]

Sometimes they can increase in population around the house. If you're not. You think this spraying.

[Larry McFeely]

That's fine. I one got in. I don't. I'm not really worried that I have an infestation of bugs. I think I'd notice that. I don't think I need to sweep and go, oh, look, thousands of bugs. Yeah, I think one just kind of popped up if it was a black widow. And again, I think maybe because I did, I kind of got the. A little bit, like, not feeling great, but not bad. It was just a little off. Probably just a little venom. Little venom from a spider. Wolf. Spider can have it happen. Black widow can have it happen. You get. You can get a little bit like, not necessarily pukey, but just feels like a little bit like you just threw up. And that's how I was feeling yesterday. So I really. The concern for my ass, I. I'm touched. And a lot of people said, can you post pictures of your ass when the spider bites better and make it like a daily feature? Like, yeah, if you want. If you want Askam, we can do Askam every day. Brett, you're in charge of. Ask him.

[Brett]

Toledo's.

[Larry McFeely]

That's you. No, no, no. That's you. No, Toledo's got enough on his photographer yesterday. He's got to do the podcast stuff. I wasn't a big fan of how hard he was breathing. So I'm gonna put you in charge of your. Oh, no, no, no. We don't. We don't need that.

[Brett]

Take care of this.

[Larry McFeely]

Ask him. We'll take angles for you. Ass cam will be a different animal then. Why is there always a. What is that? An apple? Oh, my God. No. There's something else in ascam. What's laying across ascam?

[Larry McFeely]

But yeah, to the people that were asking about my tremendous ass. It's. It's good, it's good. I was truly concerned yesterday for a little bit. Went to that lunch, got in the jeep saleslady, Jennifer was with us and she goes, are you doing all right? And I'm like, I'm fine. I'm. I'm just oddly concerned. And I'm sitting on my right side the entire time because it kind of felt funny to sit on my. My ass cancer. And then about an hour and a half later, like, I think it's all right, doesn't feel bad. And then the numbness went away. I'm like, we're in a good shape, we're all right. It's. I was poisoned by one of God's creatures that has no purpose to do that kind of stuff to a human being. But it did. And I should be okay by now. Whatever bit me on the ank maybe got me twice. The ankle one's not as bad. The ass, the ass reacted big time and it was awkward. So I wish it upon no one except my worst enemies and people that I kind of don't like actually on a lot of people out there, anyone I drive behind and stuff like that. Speaking of, boy, if it's any cautionary tale to not flip off someone else. Did you see what happened yesterday? No. In Maricopa. Exactly. But this is, this is some sharp shooting. Pretty awesome stuff. Yesterday Maricopa, a ram truck and a jeep got into a little road incident. Something happened with the ram truck. Jeep pulled up next to the ram truck and the guy shot him through the passenger window. And they interviewed him, they caught him and they said, hey, hey, hey, what would you doing all that shooting for? What went on? And he goes, I thought the guy. I heard a thump. I thought I heard a gunshot. I thought the guy was Pulling up to me next. Next to me to shoot. So I shot first. Later, his story changed that. The dude in the jeep pulled up next to him and flipped him off. He shot his hand off. Oh, man. Maricopa. Old wild west. Look at that. You want to put a finger. No. Boom. Took his hand off like he knew the guy was gonna throw the bird at him. That every reason in the world not to get off down in Maricopa. And I know being in Maricopa, you. You're not happy. Like, if you're in Maricopa, there's nobody down there who. Nobody's final destination. Except for. Unless it's the movie about dying. Nobody's final destination is Maricopa. That is a place where you go temporarily. That's not. And nobody ever says, we're moving to Maricopa and has the family celebrate. That's not a real place to end up. That is a place you end up. Now I have to live in Maricopa.

[Byron]

Relocation program.

[Larry McFeely]

Most people say, no, no, no. Yeah, the Italians, they'll move up and they'll change their name back.

[Brett]

Yeah, exactly.

[Larry McFeely]

I'm not living in Maricopa. I'm Molta Santi again, and I live in Phoenix. I'm not living down there. You talk to people from Maricopa, and most of the time they're telling you about trying to get out of Maricopa. I got stuck down here after my divorce, and I'm trapped with a house. And until it sells, I gotta. Toledo was a Maricopa resident for a while because his. His ex thought it would be a great real estate move to get down to Maricopa and make some money was.

[Toledo]

For a little while.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, she was not the one to take real estate advice from, as it turned out. And then he was trapped down there with a parrot and other people's kids because that's how Maricopa ends up. You just get squatters. But you're down in Maricopa. I understand you're probably already a little upset. Life is not going your direction. You. You reside in Maricopa or you have a reason to be in Maricopa. I can tell you right now, I'm be 53 in July, and I have had zero incidents where I said, well, we could go to Maricopa. Like, voluntarily going to Maricopa has never happened. I've been down there three times in my life. Once I didn't know I was going to Maricopa. And I think it was Maricopa. It was a free golf event for Ron Capps. I think that was Maricopa. It was, and I hated it. Okay. Awful. The second time was a. An event for poker thing we had years and years ago, all the milfs, and we did the calendar and all that stuff, and we did it down at that casino. I was paid for that. It didn't hurt as much, but I didn't spend any time in Marathon. Third one was the casino again for Dave Chappelle. Seemed open. Okay. Ended up staying the entire night because I was afraid to leave Maricopa and drive down that road with all the drunks and stuff. So I ended up getting a room and sleeping it off and then waking up. Sunrise in Maricopa.

[Byron]

Beautiful.

[Larry McFeely]

No, I should have driv. I should have driven home when it was still dark. It was, no, you don't want to see light on Maricopa. So, yes, I understand that your Maricopia attitude is probably a little bit tense, but this dude had a gun at the ready in case you flipped him off. And he. And he shot the flipped off hand off the dude.

[Brett]

It's like Biden used to say, shoot him in the knee. This guy took it to a new level.

[Larry McFeely]

Shot off. The offensive gesture. He didn't shoot the guy in the head. He didn't try to kill anyone. He's like, you're not throwing the bird at me and I'm shooting the bird. He went a little dove hunting down there. I'm sort of like, like, it's horrifying and also impressive. He didn't know that guy was going to flip him off. Oh, finger. Boom. Took it down. He shot down. You know, it was almost like, you know, having a drone strike. It was very impressive. But again, road rage, it's not worth it. Have your road rage the old fashioned way. Do it like I do it. Scream and yell into the ether some of the worst words that have ever been invented in the English language. At the car. Don't speed up and do it to the driver. That's just stupid.

[Brett]

Maybe did the jeep wave and he wasn't driving the jeep. He's like, oh, yeah, son of a bitch.

[Larry McFeely]

That makes me wonder, because the Jeep wave is two fingers and normally it's just off the steering wheel. The guys next to you give a little wave. But if he thinks you're trying to shoot him, get your hand blown off down there in Maricopa. And you know what the thing was? They interviewed the guy who got his hand shot off. And he was upset, like, obviously very upset, but not for the reasons you would Think he's like, I live in Maricopa. Why couldn't that guy shoot me right in the head? And it's like, oh, that's too bad. He lived through a maricopa shooting, which is the worst thing you can live through, because when you wake up, you're in Maricopa, and that's oof. Man, it just sounds temporary. I think it is the odum tosh word for don't worry about it. You'll get out of here soon. Maricopa. That's when they mean let's go. I think maricopa means let's go to the pea posh tribes. What time should we get out of here, Maricopa? And then you just. Everybody leaves. Oh, he said, let's go. In his own language, let's get out of here. So maricopa. And you know what, Maricopa, I'm giving you some grief. You're still not. You're still not Gila Bend. I mean, that's. That's worse. And nobody ever. Nobody ever moved to a Gila bend for real estate purposes. Even with a sideways real estate agent. Nobody ever said, hila, Ben's the next that's popular that's going to explode. Maricopa fooled itself for a little while and got a bunch of houses built down there, and then they got a jack in the box and a panda express, and they were like, we're on our way. Then it just kind of all froze. So be careful. Don't pull up next to people and start throwing birds. You never know if you got some eagle eye inside there that's going to blow your hand off, then what do you do next, bro?

[Byron]

That'll be the wrap in Maricopa. If you're ever in there, shoot your fingers off.

[Larry McFeely]

Shoot your hands off. They practice that most of the time, I would imagine. Target practice in Maricopa is the gun next to your head, and you see how many times you can put, you know, oh, yeah, deer hunter, Russian roulettes. The temple. It's the eyeball. Yeah. They just keep spinning. That's Maricopa shooting ranges. Actually, Maricopa shooting range is just a porta john where you sit and spin the barrel and put it up against your head. But this guy took it to the next level. He's got some skills, so. And road rage is so dumb. It's just so dumb. I watched a dude do it the other day on the freeway. A car that was just a basic kind of Hyundai. And then another car that was another basic sort of Sedan I. The dude was wrong. He cut him off on the. On ramp on the 10. He cut him off bad, and the guy behind him lost his mind. So when he finally got over to the lane, he was in this. The second dude that got cut off drives as fast as he can through about 10 other cars and tries to get in front of him and break. Check like they're gonna fight. And then. Then they were the two fastest cars on the road. Like this is. This only ends in a shooting.

[Byron]

I saw a video yesterday of a guy pulling over. The police officer already had the one car pulled over. And the dude comes out. MMA looking dude.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Byron]

What are you doing talking to my girlfriend, telling the cop.

[Larry McFeely]

All right.

[Byron]

Because he was following the girlfriend. The cops, like, step away, please. Yeah, you talking to my girl, man?

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, he's a little bit. It's a little jealous. Yeah. Well, the cop can pay. Shoot.

[Byron]

Yes. I'm threatening you.

[John Holmberg]

Get.

[Byron]

Get away from me. I'm gonna tase you. I'm gonna spray you.

[Larry McFeely]

That's what I said. I'm gonna hose your ass down. There he goes. I'll have to knock you out. Where was this?

[Byron]

I don't know. I just.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, I thought you said you saw I was on a video. Yeah. You don't approach police officers like that. No matter how tough you think you might be, they tend to end up winning that fight, whether you. If you can beat him up physically, fine. But in the end, you're gonna be the one that suffers. It's.

[Brett]

Don't have a bro down with a cop.

[Larry McFeely]

No. Don't you have no bro offs with the police. That never ends well for you.

[Byron]

What are you talking to my girlfriend for? Well, she was speeding.

[Larry McFeely]

That and the fact that if you're that worried about your girlfriend that she's gonna leave you if the cops pull her over. Maybe you should do some personality work at home. Be less of a douchebag that you're afraid that. Hey, what's this guy talking to my wife for? I'm the. I'm the waiter at Applebee's. I have to. What do you do, bro? What are you. What are you trying to take care of in needs? What are you asking her what she wants for? She was Sam's 2 for Tuesday. I figured I'd. I'll tell you what. She wants you to walk away, and I want it, too. I think you're overreacting, Mongo.

[Brett]

Unless the cop shows up with a boombox in hand or it's Rico Blaze. It's. You know it's time.

[Larry McFeely]

Don't. Relax. You know, if Rico Blaze pulls you over, you're not not coming back from that. Walk away. Turn around. Turn around. Because Rico Blaze will talking to my girlfriend. Rico Blaze will close the deal. You can be in the car and Rico Blaze will close the deal. I'm not.

[Brett]

Yeah, Music's gone.

[Larry McFeely]

It is? Well, I don't hear it.

[Brett]

Oh, hang on.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, you didn't plug in. Oh boy.

[Brett]

Brian, I toledoed it.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, that's all right. He's sneaking up on you. Toledoed my Blaze? Yeah. You don't mess around with cops. And your girlfriend is probably gonna leave you for other reasons if you're that paranoid that a policeman can't pull her over without you getting jealous. Some dude talking to my chick. You don't even know her, bro. Step away. She was going 85 in a school zone. Yeah, well, you know why? Because I told her to. We're badass. You stop it. Your tank top's all twisted. You're. You're a disaster.

[Brett]

Unless he's singing YMCA you probably. Come on, dude, relax.

[Larry McFeely]

Calm down. I love that when dudes get. I like anybody that gets jealous about stuff. Like it's. Dude's talking to my chick. Like you're right here. You think he's good? If you're worried he's gonna swing her in front of you, she's gonna walk out with him now.

[Brett]

Then it's your problem.

[Larry McFeely]

Dude, I'm under his skirt.

[Brett]

You're doing something wrong.

[Larry McFeely]

He's a hypnotist. Like a girl's that weak minded. That dude's talking to my chick right in front of me. You got a problem, bro? No, I've had that happen a million times in my life where a guy will talk to whomever I'm with, Megan or my ex wife or whatever, and I'm just like, how you doing? I'm the husband. How are you? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm like. I'm not bothered by it. Buy me a drink too. This is nice of you. You seem generous. It just proved that you got some good taste. It's like when people say, hey, nice car. Same thing. You're with a. You're with a woman that is attractive. Chances are some. Sometime along the line somebody's gonna say something. You try to steal my chick, bro? No. Are you worried about that? I mean, you can see me. It's like robbing your house while you're awake. You idiot. Walk away.

[Brett]

Officer Blaze. I've had enough of this.

[Larry McFeely]

I would like to see that. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 600-2585 9800 is the number and we will scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up.

[Byron]

Hey, it's not weird.

[Larry McFeely]

It's pretty cool, actually.

[Byron]

No membership fee.

[Larry McFeely]

I have heard enough of this.
