Brett
All right, it is time now for the most moral man in all of Phoenix to solve all of your issues. By the way, ACDC just clobbered it up there in Vegas this weekend. Didn't get to go to that but I got reports back from people who were there same sent me some pictures. It was a sea of humanity walking in and out of that place. ACDC still getting it right. I won't see them ever again. Not because they're bad, not because I don't want to. I watched them. I watched them perform perfectly once and I don't want that to be sullied and I think that might be Kind of stupid of me, but also, it guaranteed. You know what it is? It's Curly from City Slickers. It's his philosophy when Billy Cruz, like, what? No, she's wrong. You have to go find her. You gotta go find her. And he goes, why? Well, she could be the love of your life. She already is. And then he rides off. The only thing doing more it will possibly ruin it now. Could also get better.
John Holmberg
I doubt it.
Brett
But what in life gets better, right? When you start pushing, when it's already perfect. Let it be. Let it be. Yep. But, man, I saw AC DC way back, and it was such a good show. I won't anyway, but they're looking at all the people that were. Everybody was pretty happy at the Raider Stadium. It's time for Brady to give you this beautiful stuff. Cleaning you up, make you guys happy again. And it's brought to you by moment he pond MMP guns right there inside Momenti pond, 12th street in Indian school. All the gun stuff you'd ever need. They got the ammo, they got the gear. They got vests, they got, you know, cases. The cases are beautiful. That's one thing we never talk about. It's over there. I have a case for that AK that I've got that's the envy of every. Every time I show people the AK thing, they're like, the case. And I'm like, you're telling me that came with it? It's amazing. You can get all that stuff over there. Beautiful things. And they got the building for. For the nines and then the Glock and you can get the AR15 build. It costs a little less. You learn a lot about what you're doing, and you learn from the best. And they're doing the Byron special. Big, big Byron's birthday, man. You know what it is?
John Holmberg
I think it's almost, you know, you name your price up to 20.
Brett
That's right. That's right. You name your price of how much you went off. Up to 25. I don't know why anybody would go with 20. If you can name it, just name up to 25.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
If you can guess 25 of the final bill. Yeah, that's the Byron special.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
He'll hook it up to the penny. Mo Money Pond, 12th street and Indian School.
John Holmberg
Tell them we sent you.
Brett
Yeah, tell them that Brett sent you. All right, we'll get to that in a minute. Got a couple of gems in here. Brady. This one says, dear Brady, is there anything I can do at all to make my wife more attractive? To me, she doesn't look anything like she used to. And not because of age. It's just because she doesn't try. She always looks great when she goes somewhere with her work friends, but with me going to dinner or something, hair goes straight into a ponytail, throws on a crappy pair of pants and a T shirt, and then tells me she shouldn't have to try so hard for me. I should love her no matter what. And I do. But she's always the one that says to me that relationships are hard work and I look good. I try. I'm not asking for. I'm not asking for her to be decked out constantly, but why not try every once in a while? I'd love it if she'd try a little. Help me start this chat with her without getting my dick kicked in. Brett, Brett, hold on. Brad, you write this? No. Ms. New Booty always looks beautiful.
John Holmberg
Hell yeah, she does. Molly.
Brett
I would say the little Molly will work. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Five across tomorrow.
Brett
It is true.
Ryan
That's a tough one.
Brett
We get comfortable with each other. It's not just a woman thing. We get comfortable with each other and start like, ah, I have to put on any show for you.
John Holmberg
I already got you.
Brett
Right. Then you see when they go out with friends and stuff that they, they don't want to look lazy and sloppy. It's just for you.
Ryan
Yeah.
Brett
How do you start that chat?
Ryan
I. I don't have an answer for that. I mean, starting the chat is obviously an important thing if you can talk about it, but a lot of times you don't find out like, yeah. How do you communicate that being the, the closest. Sometimes that the closest person to deliver that news to your partner, it goes the other way.
Brett
Oh yeah, you don't like lingerie disappears at a certain point from. They just stop.
John Holmberg
The gray sweats show up.
Brett
We've been, we've been on that for years here at this show. Once the gray sweats show up, it's like, oh, she's feeling pretty complacent and.
Ryan
Then flipped around the other side. You think, are women better at communicating it to their husbands?
Brett
Are you kidding? If Ronnie came up to you today and said, you dress like a pig when we go out, that's going to change. You'd change it.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
That's all it would take. Try that with her.
John Holmberg
Well, then you're an asshole.
Brett
Yeah, well, you would be if you're a guy and you walk up and go, hey, you don't ever try. You look like garbage every time we go. And I Want you to put on some clothes that make you look pretty. Oh, my God. Every time she got dressed up. Is this good enough for you? Or am I not pretty enough? Oh, boy, here we go. You're getting your dick kicked in no matter what.
Ryan
So it's your choice. You want to get it kicked in or just keep rolling it down the road.
Brett
Or just taking your lume pig out to dinner every once in a while.
Ryan
Yeah, maybe do more sweatshirts.
Brett
I think so, too.
John Holmberg
Or start going to some higher class places where she dressed us.
Brett
Yeah, take her to better places that don't take sweats and ponytails. That's a good, good thought.
John Holmberg
Brad, no more riblets.
Brett
Yeah, quit.
John Holmberg
You got to step it up.
Brett
Quit the two for Tuesday. If you wanted her to try, you got to try a little harder, so. That's a good point. We'll make it even for everybody. She's not dressing up because you keep taking her over to 711 and getting a hot dog.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
All right, Solved it. Well done, boys. Take her into a nice place.
Ryan
Now if she's not dolling up into the nice place.
Brett
Yeah. She throws a ponytail on and put sweats on and go. All right, let's go. What time's this Ocean 44 open. It's like, oh, my goodness.
Ryan
Put a cup on and tell her.
Brett
Yeah, or you dress like a pig.
John Holmberg
Again.
Ryan
It doesn't matter.
Brett
Yeah, I mean, like, even worse than normal.
Ryan
I. I still. Like, you said put a T shirt.
John Holmberg
Okay, I was gonna say, you see the way we come to work?
Brett
Not. Look, I'm. No, I'm not. But I'm not complaining. If I was complaining the first, maybe that's the way to do it. Okay, we've solved two problems. This is the way to do it. Take her to dinner and then come out of the bedroom. It was a shirt. It's got a hole in it. Stains in the thing. I'm like, what do I have to dress up for you for? That's what she's saying to you. Oh, I see what you're doing. Look, I'm just going out like this, and guys will go out like that. If she doesn't say anything, Congratulations. You just got more comfortable out in the night. Yeah, you dress like a pig one time when you guys go out to your Applebee's 2 for Tuesdays, which is the first thing that has stopped. Yeah. You dress up like a pig and watch how fast she says, what are you wearing? Wear mismatched socks. Wear a long sock and a short sock and just push the long one down. She'll notice.
Ryan
What is this?
Brett
Yeah, come on. What do I have to do? Put on a show, Say something to you, right? And then you can say back. Toss it back. You say it right back and go. Well, you're not dressed up either. It's a fun little game. And then you're in a fist fight with a woman.
Ryan
It might lighten the kick a little bit.
Brett
Yeah, yeah. Cuz she kicks first. Yeah, you defend.
John Holmberg
Wear that Cannibal Corpse shirt to dinner when you got to go with her friends.
Brett
Yes, that's. That's a guarantee if you have a Cannibal Corpse.
Ryan
Order. Order today.
Brett
Yes. Let me put this out. Hold on. If you have a Cannibal Corpse shirt, your wife's not good looking anyway. That's true. It doesn't matter what I'm saying.
Ryan
If you don't even have, you know, you're not even a fan or don't know who they are. Just get a shirt.
Brett
Conversation starter. But yeah, yeah, that's the only way if you're a real Cannibal Corpse fan. Stop complaining about how your wife looks. We've been doing it for you.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you'll be lucky going to Rible.
Brett
Yeah, they're gonna kick you out of the riblet place because of her. Jesus, don't bring her. What is it? Dom DeLuise in the back pretending to be a doctor the whole time we're hauling her around. That's a. That's a smoking the Bandit 2 reference only a few people can get. Relax, Charlotte, it's just for you, he gets it. It's bad hanging out with Brett because we got a lot of those stupid commonalities, and that's one of them. We both know Smokey and the Bandit two way too well. Dear Brady, my son said he's going to college for me, but what he really wants to do for a living is be an influencer. But this kid can barely tie his own shoes. I, however, as a good father, don't want to discourage his passion. What kind of guidance should I give him? Like an idea that I can throw his way that this little know nothing idiot can do on Instagram so he has a chance in life and not living with me all day. Signed Jesse. And I believe you misspelled your own name, Jesse. There's not that many E's in Jesse. Let's just see.
John Holmberg
I was say, I thought Toledo wrote this one.
Ryan
My ears perked up too.
Brett
Well, maybe Toledo can help out. You got a kid.
Ryan
I think the fact right off the bat that he's going to college because of you. That let that ride. That's okay because I did. Going to college.
Brett
Yeah. Well, that doesn't mean anything.
Ryan
No, but he can find out for Dan.
Brett
I told him that once. I'm like, I'm not really sure why I'm doing this, but I'm doing it so you don't get mad.
Ryan
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
Oh, doing it. Get off your ass. Okay.
Brett
Well, yeah, but it started to last forever because I didn't have a direction. I didn't really want to be there, so I didn't know why I was going. And he just said, you need college. You need college. So I just kept showing up.

Ryan
You don't need college, but eventually you figured out a direction. I think it's a good thing that he is to experience that because he could run into some people that he's hanging out there that things kind of change.
Brett
My dad would have written a letter like this. This jackass thinks he wants to. My dad said that to me when I said, I think I'll get into radio. Oh, Christ. I'll get you a job with me. You can work out. And he was so disappointed. Like, it worked out. He doesn't remember that conversation. How about you do this? You know what a good influencer would be? It just dawned on me as I looked at this. What about if you. Like, like if he did things for dumb people? Like you said he's a know nothing. Like he's an influencer for people who are kind of stupid.
Ryan
Yeah.
Brett
And he admits. Right, right. Like, but most of them act like they're like he's.
Ryan
But what's his angle? That's what I'm curious.
Brett
Like, basically. Well, he doesn't have one. That's what he's saying. He wants to be an influencer, which is just kind of generic. So he's looking for something. So if you just did like a, hey, I'm not very bright, but here's how I get around this, like a shortcuts thing. Not like life hacks, but how a dumb guy makes money and show people. Yeah, being stupid can sometimes be lucrative little tricks that dumb guys. Dopey things dumb people do. They're not really life hacks, though. They're just what stupid people do and make him recognize, oh my God, I'm kind of dumb. And I just did this and it worked.
Larry McFeely
When Alex's buddies fits that mold he does. He discovered drop shipping. Apparently that's a thing that you do with. With Amazon. People make good money at it.
Brett
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
His buddy is a bit of adult. Made some money at it.
Brett
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
So Alex is like, I should do that. I'm like, how do you do that?
Brett
Here's the. Here, maybe this. Maybe just like, ha. Just have him do that kind of stuff. Mundane everyday stuff that a lot of people know about and act like he discovered it. And then dumb guy discovers what we all know.
Larry McFeely
You can find it. There's a million videos on IG that. That tell you how to do drugs?
Brett
It would be funny. Guys, I just discovered this life hack, and it's something we've all been doing. See, dumb guy shares his secrets. Depending on dummy is using my dad's.
Dick Toledo
Costco membership, and I'm saving 30 cents.
Brett
On that kind of stuff. Your parents have a Costco membership? Let me be the guy that helps you out. Deadbeat guy is here for you. Deadbeat guy teaches you how to get away with being a deadbeat. Cost me anything.
John Holmberg
Just told.
Brett
Just told Tripp he was at the Dodgers game. This. I'm. I am your son, sir. I am hyper aware of how stupid I am, but I can get away with it. I told with little tricks like this. I told Tripp because Trip's a man of age, of wisdom.
Larry McFeely
There you go. Good ad.
Brett
I mean, I don't know how old he is, and to find out, we'd have to carbon date him. But either way, he came in and said he was at the Dodger game and he was in a suite Saturday night. And next to his suite is Shohei Ohtani's agent suite. And Tripp told us the thing that if you buy a suite at Dodger Stadium for 10 years, you commit to it for. You get to decorate it, right? So he goes in, this guy makes it a shrine to Shohei Ohtani. And Tripp said, no one was in there. And I'm like, I don't want to offend you, but a man of your age with your specific hairstyle, which is silver and clear, Am I wrong? I said, why don't you just start doing stuff like this, like where you climb over and get into that room. Because I know suites don't have big.
Ryan
Or just go into the door.
Brett
Well, the door might be locked, but it'd be even better to just break into it so people see it and then just biden away in there for a little while, you know, enjoying the museum. Until somebody comes in and then play the. I'm an old man. I don't know where I am.
Ryan
I'm in the wrong suite.
Brett
And they'll walk and make. I think that's my friend. And then people goes, this year, do you know him? And people like, yeah, he's with us. I don't know where I am. And then the door shuts. And like, man, I played pretended I got the dementia. And I. I saw that whole thing. It's beautiful. Tripp should never pay. I think that's why they make old people free in a lot of things, because these Wandering anyway. Be too hard. But he should never pay admission to anything. Just walk in. And when they're like, hey, sir, search. Keep walking, sir. Me, I'm a they them. Oh, boy. Are you okay? I'm here for the treats. Oh, am I in the wrong place again? I'm an old man. I don't know where I am.
Ryan
Comes out with a box of Dodger gear.
Brett
I got an autographed Ohtani shirt. They gave it to me because I'm old and I pretend to have the stuff. I got the mind stuff. Oh, are you okay? I need to know where mommy is. Oh, boy.
Larry McFeely
Texter says, I'm sure he wears those really nice polos. Tell him to Ms. Button One.
Brett
Yeah. Throw a button on wrong and walk into wherever you want to go. Oh, that old man over there. Just shuffle. You got to shuffle. Don't get all the, you know, proud of your walk and stuff. Shuffle. If it's expensive to get in, he should never pay a penny. I don't know where I am. That's the key phrase for him to get through life. See, in this type of influencing, your son should be doing all right. I mean, I faked being on Molly all weekend and got. It was great. So much attention. Brady. I think I'm going to strictly pursue prostitutes for sexual. There you go. I'm getting out of a relationship, and I hate the idea of starting over. Being in a relationship has never worked for me. It just gets harder and harder with each passing year. I wasn't raised religious, but unlike Holmberg, I think I'll be in heaven. Hey, I'm trying my best for the sake of my eternal soul. We all know homework's going to hell. That's two swings. Anyway. Is a move to transactional sex okay for my desires to please God? Ryan? No, no. What if he doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore? He can't have sex ever again?
Ryan
Then become a priest.
Brett
I have relationships they love kids commit.
John Holmberg
2.
Brett
Listens.
Ryan
Listen, I'm just kidding.
Brett
Okay? In fairness to Brady. Let me clear this up. Brady does not promote pedophilia. That sounded bad, but he doesn't. He had to clear that. Go ahead.
Ryan
Well, he's eventually going to have to. You know, you can't avoid not being in relationships. I don't mean like a dating, but just in general. I mean, you're gonna. It's an ongoing thing in life.
Brett
I got a couple friends that.
Ryan
They're lonely when it comes down. Some aren't, but I don't. I think it only Lasts for so long. I think eventually, well, you want a little more than just the sexual. Yeah, yeah, but I. I'm. I'm. My point is, I think eventually you'll want more than just the sexual transaction.
Brett
What if that's all you've had? I don't know how old this guy is, but now you're 55, 60 years old, and you're like, what am I doing? I've been cut in half twice. I'm financially living in some apartment now.
Dick Toledo
Yep.
Brett
I got to figure out my life again. And I don't want to bring somebody. I don't want to tie somebody to me anymore. It doesn't work out.
Larry McFeely
I still don't understand how anybody allows themselves to be cut in half a second time.
Brett
It happens.
Tripp
It happens a lot.
Brett
But, you know, I understand how horse crap Brady's selling people. You got to be with somebody. That's true.
Ryan
And. And commit all the way.
Brett
And commit all the way. Well, that's. That is true. That is true of religion, that they make you guilty to not tie in.
Ryan
And I think that. I think that has totally changed now.
Brett
I don't. I think religion. He's right in the question. I'm not even religious.
Ryan
But I'm saying the. The. I think prenuptial stuff is more.
Brett
Sure, but you don't think religion is basically like, everything you're doing until you're married is wrong. Puts pressure on people.
Ryan
Well, you're. They're serious when they're saying, yeah, you're committing. You commit for life. This is your.
Brett
Well, he's already. He's already screwed that up two times. So.
Ryan
Yeah, and that is.
John Holmberg
So. Then don't worry about it.
Brett
That's what I'm saying. You're already going to. Hey, you told me I'm going to hell in his letter. So are you, jerk. Brush it.
Ryan
That's why I was saying you get.
Brett
On the same bus I'm on. Seats taken.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Ryan
If you're being judgmental on that fact and you believe, then that transactional sex thing that you're looking for is wrong. If you have a. A faith.
Brett
So you have so. Isn't that so. I'm just devil's advocate because I'll meet him someday. The. So you're saying that anything he's done now with a relationship with someone that isn't commitment.
Ryan
Yeah. Is wrong if it's transactional.
Brett
No. No.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brett
Yeah. If it's not transactional.
Ryan
No, I'm just saying if he's dating.
Brett
Someone and has sex with her, it doesn't work out. There was never a commitment. There's never a relationship.
John Holmberg
Then we're all going.
Ryan
Is that. What's the difference?
John Holmberg
Everyone including Brady.
Brett
That's what I'm asking.
Ryan
Okay, I got you. I understand.
Brett
I mean, if it's not relationship, at.
Ryan
A certain point, you. You are still pursuing the relationship part of it. On that.
Brett
So it's all about intention.
Ryan
Yeah.
Brett
What if you really like the hooker.
Ryan
Changes, you know, when. The tough thing is when you're. Now you're 50.
Brett
Yep.
Ryan
And you're still supposed to, like, you know, we're not engaging in any physical activity until we're married.
Brett
That's why you got divorced the first time.
Ryan
Yeah, I think that that differs in.
Brett
How about this Brady? What if he's completely loyal to the prostitute?
John Holmberg
Well, he's this pretty woman.
Brett
She's the only. No, no, no. Not in a love way.
Ryan
Then he's in a relationship.
Brett
No, he's not. He just doesn't hire other prostitutes. She's the only one he hired.
Ryan
Still gonna. Yeah.
Brett
So his intention is you're gonna be.
Ryan
In a relationship with her. She's not going.
Brett
No.
Ryan
That's why she's got a. Oh, I know, but you're. You're the only one.
Brett
Woman I paid for you for 14 years.
Ryan
No, but you're. You basically have a relationship, so.
Brett
That's what I'm asking.
Ryan
Yeah.
Brett
Does that.
Larry McFeely
Okay, it's a business relationship.
Brett
No. Why? You just said basically have a relationship. You said you have a relationship.
Ryan
Well, it's illegal.
Brett
Okay, so you're breaking the law.
John Holmberg
All right, well, I think he's more worried about morally than.
Larry McFeely
Oh, he's definitely worried about.
Brett
That is part of the morals that you're not supposed to break man's laws?
Ryan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Then we're all screwed.
Brett
Everybody's going, oh, look, that book. Nobody gets off clean.
Larry McFeely
Haven't you guys listened to this new administration?
Dick Toledo
He's supporting small business.
Brett
That's right. Local small business. So long as she's not Mexico.
John Holmberg
This is great.
Brett
That's human trafficking. These white ones, anyway. I mean, I don't.
Ryan
That's a tough line, too.
Brett
I say you give up on your whole religious quest. If you're already asking about hookers, you don't care that much. But just cut the hypocrisy.
Ryan
He's teetering.
Brett
Yeah, look, he's not teetering on anything. Cut the bull. Knock off saying that you're trying to please Jesus. If you're considering maybe I should do some prostitutes, would that make. God, we all know the answer to your stupid question. Of course your God's not going to be happy with that. He's not happy with anything fun. So you. You're planning on having a really good fun time. Pay for it and not have any ties? Yes. Your God hates that. It's a dumb question. So get rid of the religion and have your fun. You're not really religious in the first place. You're pretending.
Larry McFeely
Monogamous prostitute is a decent band name.
Brett
That's not bad. But only one. She's. Now that implies that she's a monogamous prostitute. Yeah.
Larry McFeely
That's true. Monogamous to a prostitute.
Brett
That's too much. That's. That's almost. That's an album name. Yeah. Exclusive Prostitute exclusivity is not a good band name. But it's true. I only do it with one of them. She's mine. That's my. That's my girl. Ask about that hooker stuff. I'm gonna save the other one. Which is more of just a question for all of us than it is a. What would Brady do?
Larry McFeely
Brady. Hate to break it to you. Jesus loved a too.
Brett
That's right. Yes. Best friend was a hooker. You're telling me they wouldn't. They would have included in the book if he worshiping some 32 year old virgin. I don't buy it.
Ryan
She quit hooking.
Brett
That's right. There's a reason why his teen years aren't really in the book. Nobody wants to read about.
Ryan
And Mary Magdalene found Jesus and then.
Brett
