Larry McFeely
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, if my car has an extended warranty, do I have to take it back to the dealer for service?
Wayne
No, Larry, if you have an extended service contract, you can use it at any amco.
Larry McFeely
It's nice to have other options.
Wayne
I'll say AMCO has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles and faster service.
Larry McFeely
Amco does more than just transmissions, right?
Wayne
Right. If you need car repairs or hear, feel, see, smell, or even think you have a car issue, call Amco first.
Larry McFeely
Just Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco double A MCO transmissions and.
Brett
A whole lot more.
Toledo
To Miles to Nowhere. Katie and the Hobbs, thank you very much. We were just talking about the theme song. Brett, he made a good point. Like I wonder if Miles to Nowhere plays that on their live sets in their live shows.
John Holmberg
I don't know.
Toledo
I'd find that to be touching. I'd go to me start bouncing around. I like that.
John Holmberg
I wanted to go to the show before Eastercake, but there's a lot going on. Too much.
Toledo
That's too much. Paula Proc, who hates Toledo, says I need to know where I can get one of Those repeal the 19th Amendment T shirts. I swear to swear to the gods I know. In all caps. So many women who are effing idiots. And by the way, none of them can drive worth a damn either. I'm a woman who appreciates humor. Why else would I have listened to you since you were on the other station? Keep doing exactly what you're doing, Paula, the Toledo hater. I will, Paula. I promise. And you can get those shirts if you just text Brett. He'll give you the link.
John Holmberg
I've already sent it out like seven times.
Toledo
I'm not doing it.
John Holmberg
I need a cut of this.
Toledo
I'm not sending anybody that link. I'll get canceled. I'm not an idiot.
John Holmberg
You can just Google it. There's like 10 different options out there.
Toledo
But, you know, goog, Google, repeal the 19th Amendment. And then five weeks later, your boss is like, what are you doing? You work at some suffragette house? I don't know if those still exist.
John Holmberg
They're used to my computer with the stuff that gets sent to me.
Toledo
Another guy emailed me and said that his friend was joking around about, you know, jokes that can go side where you're joking. And he was on a work email and it was a thing. And they. Somebody made a joke about 19, the 19th Amendment. And he said. But the one friend didn't know. He said, Repeal the 16th Amendment, which is the slavery one.
Brett
Oh.
Toledo
And he didn't know that. He thought he was going after the women. And he said. And there were a few people on the thread that were like, what the hell does that have to do with what we're talking about? I was like, what? Oh. But again, because no one had a stick in their ass, they realized he just made a mistake.
Brady
We'll see it on some rec league. That's the team Jersey.
Toledo
Everybody's number 19.
Brady
The.
Toledo
It's so good. That's so good. And, you know, I've got. They're. They're funny T shirts. The Internet has O.J. and Nicole, as, you know, memes every time. Like, I saw the most recent one I saw was Nicole was Shador Sanders, and O.J. was the NFL draft. And it just puts a title over the two things. Basically saying, this thing's about to get killed by this thing. And we all laugh. Har hardy har har. And it's horrible. Stop being sensitive now. One thing I am going to be sensitive to is you dumb kids out there. You kids out there today. Anybody under the age of 35, I'm starting to think might not be equipped to live life anymore. Have you tried to pay for cash recently or with cash, like $100. I. I was in Vegas, not 100. I had a few hundos in my pocket there. My Vegas money still in my pocket. And I had to pay for something with cash. It was $38. I said, all I got is a hundred. You don't have cards. And at that moment, I thought to myself, I do, but the fact that you don't want $100 in your hand confuses me, and I want to know what's gonna happen next. So I said, nope, only cash. Okay. Two people and a calculator to get my change. No clue. And I'll tell you right now, it's $61.38. I looked at the. I can do this in this. I didn't tell him. Register opens. He stares down, he looks at me. Calculator comes out, works it. For a second, I'm just dead quiet, like, you gotta be kidding me, man. Another person comes by. It's like, 62. Like, what? Your drawer's gonna be short today.
Brady
Does have the ability to put it into the register.
Toledo
It didn't tell him. I did notice that the machine. Because I don't deal with cash ever. So it's. Yeah, most of it tells you that it didn't. It didn't have that. It just opened. I don't even know if he did that right, to be honest.
Brady
I think hundreds are tough to begin with because a lot of places, all of a sudden, I don't have that change.
John Holmberg
Well, I'm betting he doesn't.
Toledo
He got it right. Yeah, but it was because he had help with a friend. Not a good sign. Oh, say abacus to him and he'll pass out. New words. The bunk. Yeah, it was. It's frightful to think that. That you can't simply make change. We're not that advanced with money yet. That you still shouldn't be able to make change. I get it. I used my phone this morning to buy gas. Just tapped it on the machine, which is great. The convenience of it's awesome. But if I give you 100 bucks and it's $38 and change, you should be able to knock that silly immediately. I'll even give you if you missed by a dime or so.
Brady
Don't worry about the change.
Toledo
But, I mean, we're looking pretty. Yeah, we're basically looking at, you know, 61 something, and they just give me a quarter. Like, how's that? I don't know. I'd take it because I don't like change, but there it was. A complete catastrophe. It was his nine. There we go. Cash is my nine. Eleven. That guy couldn't do it. Works the register, Brady. You know the trickle down on that is. Nobody told him sometimes you're gonna have to make change. He just, you go work the register. None of us know how to do it. No. Nobody's ever gonna come in here with cash again. This is. What a horrifying. What do you think, he's gonna come in at a Conestoga wagon, be pulled by horses? Who has cash? He's got Federalist money. 200 bucks.
John Holmberg
John, that guy just needs to learn the word gulp.
Toledo
Well, I tell you this, the amount of rouge on his cheeks, I think he knows it. He's wearing a lot of makeup.
Brady
That poor guy probably now has anxiety.
Toledo
Good. You know what he should do instead of having anxiety? Hit the books. Go find out how to make change. All you have to do is learn how to make change off of a $10bill to any amount lesser than that with change in the middle of it. And then you're like, oh, I see. It works backwards from the 10. That's easy. I see.
Brady
Just ask Siri.
Toledo
He could have done that. You know what? That would have been the bright boy thing to do, and I would have died laughing. Hey, Meta, how much change do I give a guy who's $38 and 60? How much do I give him for a hundred? And you know what Meta would have said? Are you a moron? It's change, man. And it's even numbers change. It's not like the guy. The ones that I used to struggle with are the people that would give me, like the. The. Like if it was 30 bucks or something, $38, let's say $38.40. And then they'd give me $50.40. Oh, they evened it up. But I don't. I'm gonna miss this by a dollar. I just know it. Making changes. Children should do it. That's why you started Kool Aid stands and stuff in the inner city and lemonade stands in the white communities. That's exactly why you did it, to learn. Like, somebody gives you three bucks.
Brady
Yeah. There's all sorts of lessons you learn.
Toledo
Tons of lessons. Business management, who to discriminate against. I mean, that's what we learned from business. I'm not serving these people. Or they give you some change and like, oh, no, I've got to give the money back. That's the point of it happen anymore. Dying, laughing. I had a friend who. Who was a CEO of a company. And no, it's not my banking buddy who said that he had an interview with someone who just graduated from college. It's the time of year you start doing the interviews with college graduates. Saw a few of them yesterday at Wilderness Arizona, Wilderness Brewery. Yesterday, the graduation. And the hats were on. We were down there yesterday for an early lunch. And he said, I interviewed with a guy and he's got a pretty respectable company. It's not huge, probably about 18 or 19 employees, but he does this thing every year. You know, a couple of college graduates come in and work under his umbrella and then get jobs with him. And it's pretty lucrative jobs. Kid sits down, you know, said, first off, just want to say thanks for having me. It's like, interview's going well. The kid's, you know, very positive. And he said, but before we start this whole, this is a 23 year old, he goes, if this job doesn't pay over $100,000, what was the other thing he said to me? Oh, Aaron, I'm going to have to come back for another interview after this one. Let's just shake hands now. Jesus. And the guy who's running it says, well, it does pay over $100,000 with potential for a lot more. So we're good there. And second, I'm the CEO, so if you do well with me, this is the only interview you're going to need. And the guy goes, great, okay. And he goes, and now we're gonna shake hands and you can go. And he sent him on his way because he's like, what, balls on his arrogant prick. So he blew it because he gets out of college thinking, you know, don't waste my time, I can get a job I don't have. I live with my parents. If it's not worth a hundred grand, it's not worth a second of my time. And the job does, I even, I'm like, does it pay that? And he goes about, yeah, so you can get up to about 100, you gotta do some, you gotta do some work and you gotta get incent. And other companies don't pay over 100 if you're, you know, in the first year. He said, you know, base is not going to be that, but you can work your way to it. He said, next, in three months time, if you're any good at it, you'll start seeing extra.
Brady
There was something else that was along that lines. They're saying the kids are coming out of college and the interview, they won't entertain anything. That's not over. Yeah, $50,000, it's like remarkable you're going to have.
Toledo
Yeah, well, it depends on what you graduated with, right? But still, you don't have zero. You're getting zero and you're holding out for 100. From what? From why. It's pretty good stuff though. I admire both sides. But yeah, he said, I just said, yeah. I told him, oh no, you won't ever have to do another interview again. I'm the CEO if you do well here. And the kid, he said, the kid just relaxed his chair and big smile. He goes, and now we'll shake hands and you can go because this has not gone well for you at all. And he told him, he said as he walked him out, he goes, don't interview like that again with anyone else. And the kid didn't say a word. And he was like, his confidence, somebody told him to do that. Like you tell somebody, go in there and you, you set your parameters and you, you can't swing a dick if you've never done a thing in your life. You didn't have any leverage. But that's crazy. Meanwhile, I got a kid who's working at a store, can't make change for a hundred. God, I wanted to so badly to step in and help, but I just let it. I let the sufferings continue.
John Holmberg
Now, you weren't in a hurry, obviously, otherwise you'd still be there.
Toledo
Brett, if I was in a hurry, I'd stand there still and watch dummy suffer. Nothing funnier than being dummy suffering and just recognizing, wow, I'm an unqualified moral because to me, hopefully, but I doubt it. He sits and thinks, I gotta learn that that was it, I was dumb. But again, because we've eliminated shame. He probably looked at me and went, ugh, dick. Old man came in and started trying to pay with cash. Who does that? Instead of just recognizing I have flaws I should fix if that happens again. I share the world with a lot of people of doing different things and maybe an age, you know, like an 80 year old man would come in and go, I only do cash. It's not the, it's not his fault you're dumb. Capable of doing both. Apple pay with my phone, credit cards, checks, cash, I can do it all. I'm well rounded. I'm like a Broadway star. I can sing, I can dance, I can act. This kid's good for one thing and he's mad at everybody else for being good at other stuff. Morning sickness medicate, get you on PD.

Toledo
Holmberg's morning sickness. What we should be doing today is not bashing on things. We should be celebrating that the Lakers are out of the playoffs. I think it's great.
John Holmberg
If somebody wants to hear king Nothing for LeBron.
Toledo
LeBron. Yep. King Nothing. Slinks off the court a loser yesterday and many people happy. For a little while there, it looked like that game was going to get out of hand and I was thrilled about it. They ended up coming back. Credit to J.J. redick and the kids, Luca and all that. Luke got his back ripped out of him and he still played a great game. Barely. You could tell he could barely move like his back. Five games. Lakers are out Three seed Gonzo. So it's. It's always a better world when the Lakers are, you know, like I always say about the Ravens, sad. Lakers make me happy. Sad. LeBron James's is make me very happy. I love when LeBron James has to shake hands with somebody who's now better than him and Anthony Edwards and say, hey, go get him, kid. I love it. I love it. Yeah, King Nothing's a good one. We crown King nothing. So that was a nice thing yesterday. And then I don't know if you guys saw this terrible thing that happened in Pittsburgh at the Cubs and Pirates team. Did you see that? How weird. Okay, so if you didn't see it, there's. And we have video of everything now. Prior to the phone.
Brady
I sent it to Toledo.
Toledo
Yeah, we'd have just heard about it prior to the. To iPhones and stuff. It would be like, oh, my God, a guy fell out of thing. Now you got angles. You got. It's crazy how many Zapruders there are out there for every single thing that happens. But if you watch it again, it almost looks. He looks like he's jumping.
Brady
Yeah.
Toledo
A guy falls over the wall. Clemente wall is a 21 foot wall in honor of Roberto Clemente because He wore number 21 for the Pirates. He played right field. So that at the stadium there, that beautiful PNC park in Pittsburgh, third best stadium in baseball. No one talks about it. And there's. And then the drop off to fourth is fast. Probably Baltimore. And I hate saying that because you're in Baltimore. Camden's great, but Camden Yards is in Baltimore. But three to four is a big gap. That stadium in Pittsburgh's gorgeous Clemente wall. 21ft. This dude. There's a Pirates. It's a hit. And he's running in the. And rounding the bases. And a guy just jumps out of his chair and it looks like he flips over about 11 times. It's the weirdest.
Brady
It is weird.
Toledo
It's just strange to watch. And he's in critical condition and he jumped off the thing and then the headline read today and I couldn't help but giggle, Pirates ask for prayers. And I'm like, what does that mean? Oh, it's the Pittsburgh Pirates. Don't say Pirates ask for prayers. I can't do that. I'm a child. You can't have Pirates ask for. Ye be asking for prayers. We are. Ye be praying. Stop it. And asking for prayers. Fine. That's great. Pirates shocked, need help. Prayers aren't going to do. You know what family asks for a bar over the top of the thing? So you can't just leap over the wall eventually because of our silly behaviors. You've seen what they've done already. And this is. People say that the nets that go all the way around a baseball field now are for our protection because they don't. They don't want to get sued because nobody pays attention anymore. They're all staring at their phones, and you got these projectiles coming in at 108 miles an hour that are, you know, little rocks. And people are looking down the whole time. So many people said, well, they didn't have nets around the ball field up until about eight years ago. Right. Because people went to baseball games and kept their head up. You never heard if a guy got hit in the head in the stands. It was a goofy. Now it was like, it's happening all the time. Why? Oh, they're always staring at their phones. They're always looking down, and it's. You know, so we had to put nets around. Now we're gonna have to put glass around the outside so you don't fall off. Nobody can even.
Brady
Yeah. If it's got the pony wall.
Toledo
Yeah, it is.
Brady
It'll be like hockey.
Toledo
It's so weird. It looks like he jumped.
Brady
That's springing up.
John Holmberg
It does look like he jumped.
Toledo
People are worried about it and all. You watch this video, and the first thing I thought was, that guy's killing himself. He springs out of his chair at a weird moment, too. It's not like a. Nobody else is getting up. This is a. You know, I think the Pirates scored a run on the thing. I think it was a single or something. Guys round in second, and he looks.
John Holmberg
Like he got pushed.
Toledo
And there's the other thing. It's either a push. This is not him staggering or stumbling.
Brady
No one's behind him.
Toledo
Zero attempt to save his. His. His fall. Like, if you. Anybody falling over a wall is reaching back or something's going on, this dude springs head first over the wall. I think it's. I personally think it's suicide. I think that that guy is killing.
Brady
Certainly looks like it.
Toledo
Yeah. I mean, from the. All the videos that I've seen, there's no attempt to stop that, you know, and it surprises the people next to him. Like, nobody's standing up doing what he's doing. He just jumps over. I think that guy. I think that's intentional and it's horrifying.
Brady
It is. But, you know, at that height, you wouldn't think, you know, dirt like, was.
Toledo
He trying to, you know. No, that's a couple 21ft header. You're not going to do well with that. And he's just limp and it looks like he does like six flips. I know that's not. But it just looks so cartoonishly flippy. And it does, you know.
John Holmberg
You know, at first I was like, oh, is it like a home run ball? He's reaching for it. But no, it's a grounder.
Toledo
It looks like an ejector seat.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
He springs out of that thing. And credit to the Pirate staff and everything, by the way, Pirates win the game 43 after a ninth inning grounder put him ahead. There's a deep drive by Castellanos next to the corpse.
Brady
That's a double right in front of the country roads. Take me home.
Toledo
Yeah, sure. It's weird. So weird. That video's all over the place. It's nothing about that seems to me to be an accident that he's either intentionally jumping or somebody just flipped him over. Yeah. And again, people already making jokes with. Yeah, he probably had some mouthy woman there he's been dealing with for years. And he'd had enough. Not everything's going to go back to repealing the 19th, but it's the video sweeping the Internet. And think about us for a little bit. Think of the weirdness of society that we get to see all these things and everybody's always like, ah, things are terrible. Every plane crashes on tape. So we feel like all the planes are falling out of the sky. Stuff like this happens and we'll build nets around the stadium and it's all just because we're seeing it. People remember the dude in the top row that fell out in that one and a few years ago and he tumbled over the second deck and he reached back and he grabbed.
Brady
Oh, yeah.
Toledo
And he's just. And he hung there for a second and then he went down. It's horrible. But we are going to have to build giant walls now because we see it and we also know that when people see that, it sparks ideas for the others. Oh, now it's a movement. It said last night on the news that he was trying to jump on the field and he got his feet caught in the railing causing him to flip like that. But it looks like he catapulted out of the seat. Said he was trying to jump onto the field on the News. That's a 21 foot jump. If you land that. I mean, call the Olympics. You're going. If you can land that. But yeah, he caught his feet. He does jump, though. There's no doubt. So we're gonna find that out. So again, the one nut. One nut bag is going to cause the fear because the videos out there to make us all feel like we've got to protect this whole thing. The other thing in kind of sports world, Lakers gone. Guy at the Pirates games. Big news. I have to say, I'm a little worried that my atheism may be wrong, Brady. Because I remember back in the 80s, praying out loud and even into the 90s that I wish something horrible would happen to John Elway. Yeah. And now it's happening. And I don't know what they're trying to do here. He wrecked a golf cart. His friend fell out and died. Right.
Brady
Well, he didn't wreck it.
Toledo
Well, they had an incident which can happen.
Brady
And he was driving.
Toledo
Was he drunk? And what's the rule on that? Because I've driven a golf cart plastered. In fact, my friend has a golf cart. And we go back and forth to each other's houses to not drive because we're only like a quarter mile apart. So instead of getting in a car, we use the golf cart and sail up the side. No major roads. But you know what you're wondering, did.
Brady
He have a bottle of Elway's Reserve?
Toledo
I don't know. And that's what I'm at. What's the rule on golf cart drunkenness? Because that's the point of it.
Brady
I mean, if that's the fact, you definitely would get.
Toledo
You're not on a road. You're operating a motor vehicle that isn't licensed. You're not on a road and they're serving you alcohol. And no one ever says, not for the driver. There's no sticker. There's no warning, do not drink and drive. Don't touch this. It's not a given. It's encouraged to booze it up. I don't know what the rules are on golf carts now. I know they weren't on a golf course. They were at an event of some other kind.
Brady
Were that stagecoach or not?
Toledo
I don't know. It was a festival, something. Yeah, they weren't. Yeah, they were driving around a golf cart to get from A to B. I don't know the rules on that.
John Holmberg
I think you still get a DUI and everything. I know you can get one on your bike.
Toledo
You can get one on your bike if you're on the road. I don't think if you're just riding in a field, I.
John Holmberg
Dad, I don't know.
Toledo
I don't either.
John Holmberg
We need a cop.
Toledo
Because it's. Yeah, we need a cop. Maybe you can. Because I don't even get one of it on a horse if you're operating something drunk. But I. I don't know if that's. If you're on a street or on some sort of a thoroughfare. But if you're just on a golf cart and you're in your yard and you're drunk and you fall, you can't get a dui, can you? On a golf course, can you? Because if I'm a cop, that's proof they don't have quotas. Like, everybody thinks, oh, it's end of the month. Cops get their quota. That's proof they don't have one. Because if I was a cop and I needed a quota. Just ticket dudes on the 11th hole of every golf course there is. Yeah, seven days all day ticketing.
Brady
I don't know how. I mean, like, if it's a pub, if it's a private place or.
Toledo
Well, there's public golf courses. What's the rule on driving a golf cart drunk? Because I'm guilty every time. Every time. And that's right. And my. And my new friend Cam Scatteraboo is getting sued for an incident in a golf cart. Something happened a while ago, and I don't know that. I don't know what the rules are with that. I really don't. I have no clue.
Brady
We've heard, you know, we've had stories where people have gotten a DUI on a horse.
Toledo
That's what we're saying, tractor. But again, if. If. That's. If they find them. This is easy. Every Arizona's got 191 golf courses in just the Phoenix area. Go to. Go to one today and you're writing 10 DUIs.
Brady
Well, they might not have been thinking about that, you know, at the time of the accident, that saying, have you been drinking?
Toledo
What's the rule? Of course, like, you're gonna. I think you get cited then, if that's the case. And get cited for murder, for manslaughter, vehicular man.
Brady
Yeah, yeah.
Toledo
Or negligence. But I've never once had a cart girl say, no open containers in the car. They know we can't drive and drink.
Brady
I mean, what happens? Yeah, I mean, that's a great question, because what happens on golf course where people are jacking around with a golf cart and it wrecks and one of the people die in it?
Toledo
Well, this guy get charged. This guy says, as a Former driver.
Brady
You know, if the passenger gets.
Toledo
Oh, if you wreck a car drunk.
Brady
Well, you're not even drunk. You're just jacking around on the in the golf cart trying to do spins and.
Toledo
Yeah, I don't know, Edwards. Morning sickness medicate. Kupd.
John Holmberg
We're here with Byron from M and P Guns. Byron, why should someone choose to go to MMP Guns?
Byron

Toledo
This says, as an ex DUI officer, a golf cart is a DUI. Private property is irrelevant for a DUI. Can be enforced for DUI. Hit and run, reckless driving. You cannot get a DUI on a bicycle or a horse. That's BS. Well, maybe not in this state, but I remember we did the thing where the guy got one.
Brady
Yeah.
Toledo
For riding it on the freeway. And he was drunk and they gave him an operational thing. And bicycles, I think you get some states, but it has to be motorized as far as I understood. And they said that like a tractor, you can get drunk and drive a tractor around. But if that's the case with a dui, why aren't cops just hanging out at golf courses? I mean, because they don't want to be dicks all day. But why aren't you hanging around? I just got the answer. Golf courses are Full of white people.
John Holmberg
That Thunder Horse.
Toledo
Yeah. If they have a. If they have a Maryvale golf course, there'd be cops sitting at each hole. Blow into this, God damn it.
John Holmberg
Sir, you can't have your Impala on the green, please.
Toledo
I'm gonna run the dog around your cart real quick. And some open containers here with some purple juice. The car girl served me purple juice. But I'm allowed. Yeah, I'm allowed to have that. No, you're not, Tyrone. Not in this Maryvale Golf. By the way, who built this thing and why is there so many people on it? We thought it was a park.
Brady
They won't even handle the cheese in the cart. No, sir, you can't drive.
Toledo
You're not allowed to have that. All right. That's funny that that's the case, that you'd think it's just because it's a white sport. Cops don't go out there. But why wouldn't. If it's dui, why isn't it? This guy says, I used to arrest at least two golf cart DUIs a year at the Phoenix Open. But that's not. That's. Those are people driving, not golfing, right? Because when I'm golfing, I'm drinking. And nobody the only one.
Brady
What's the. I mean, he's popping Thunderbirds. I mean, they're the ones in golf carts. And then, you know, other.
Toledo
I guess there's some staff or mate, I don't know. This guy says driver here. If it's private property, it's like being in a parking lot. Police cannot cite you for a moving violation. You cannot be cited for a dui. They have many rules. The owners of the owners of the property. Geez, I don't know. That doesn't seem right. So I said, google it, man. You can get a DUI in Arizona. I think it's funny, drinking and driving illegally. All right. In parking lots, guy. I guess you can get one.
John Holmberg
Get Kevin Rowe. We need a definitive answer here.
Toledo
Says, I'm a dealer at the Casino of Arizona. These kids can't even add up to 21 in blackjack. So don't worry about your change. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I was just wondering that. Because it's John Elway. Because I used to literally, hate, passionately hate John Elway. I say it about Lamar Jackson. Remember when I did prayers that something terrible happens to him? I mean that in the heat of it, but afterwards, I don't, like, want something like this to happen for real. I just want something to happen directly to Him. I don't want it to be somebody else getting hurt so his life gets worse. I want something to happen directly to him. I want it to be like. Like the way I'm sure Boston Red Sox fans back in the 40s secretly loved what happened to Lou Gehrig. You know, a disease that no one understood. They named after him. That's kind of thing I'm rooting for, like John Elway's disease. Nobody's ever seen it before. It just. And it's, you know, hoof and mouth, because that big horse face. Outside of that, I hated John Elway passionately as a football fan. Hated him. Hated him. And I would say that. And now something terrible has happened to him, but not to him. Awful. But I don't know if he's going to go to jail or not. Depend. He was driving the cart. It.
Brady
It sounds like he's not. It's just a freak accident. The guy just fell out of the car.
Toledo
But if he's drunk, that's what a freak accident is. If he's drunk and it turns out. Well, if he's erratically driving or going fast and made a turn on the thing and just wasn't paying attention, there's no seat. There's the other thing. The golf carts aren't compliant to any of the rules.
Brady
Legal ones.
Toledo
Right.
Brady
When you buy them, they put them on.
Toledo
But I'm talking about on a golf course where it's going to affect me.
Brady
Yeah. There's no.
Toledo
No seat belts, no doors, no protective measures at all. They give you alcohol the entire time. I'm not against any of this. This. I'm just wondering if it's against the law. If at one point we're at the Biltmore Brady, and we've got to leave the seventh hole to go to the eighth par three, and we got to cross two roads.
Brady
Yeah.
Toledo
And there's a cop there, and I'm driving, and I've had a few pops, and he just says, hang on just a second, boys. What are the rules?
Brady
I think the. I think the rule would kick in if we were crossing that road, and all of a sudden you're like, ah, screw it. We're not going to golf. I'm going to continue down the road.
Toledo
Right. Which we've done.
Brady
Well, not out of the bull.
Toledo
You and I have driven on those roads several times especially. But I'm from the clubhouse to the 10th, where they make you drive on the road to get there.
Brady
Yeah.
Toledo
Think of that. What are the rules? It's a. It's gray. But it's crazy that, you know, I hope that doesn't happen. You know, here I am years later. Doesn't happen to John Elway. I hope this doesn't. If it's. But if it's a situation where it's one of those 35 mile an hour licensed carts and he had a couple of pops and this guy died, it doesn't matter if he was jackassing around or not.
Brady
And I know people that have been on golf courses and gotten kicked out because they're erratically driving the car. They're trying to do something stupid.
Toledo
I just got a letter from somebody I know very well in government who said, well, you shut up. You're going to cause Mormon legislators to create new laws and drinking well in golf carts. You're right, sir. I apologize. You're right. We need to. We need to clear that up and like have some sort. It is protest day. Let's protest the idea that anybody ever takes away the cart. Girl, you know, could you imagine on the freeway if just like an ice cream truck full of alcohol went by and sold you stuff in a traffic jam? Because that's what happens at golf courses.
John Holmberg
Brady's having a wet dream right now with that one.
Toledo
Just serve tea and Arnie Palmies. Give me one of them granola bars. I never really thought of that. Like, I'm working a motorized vehicle. I'm being served alcohol by the place I'm allowed to be, and I am drinking and staring. I learned the word yellow jacket from Eric Bryan on a golf course. I didn't know that rubes called Coors yellowjackets. She gave me a yellow jacket. I'm like, ooh, what's that? Is that like a stinger with some vodka? Like, no, it's a Coors. I'm like, what? They call it a yellow jacket. Never heard that in my life. But I learned it on the golf course and it made me want a Coors because it's a cool way to order stuff. So I was drinking a Coors and.
Brady
Driving a cart a couple years ago. That's probably eight years ago the first time I heard Dick Bud Hardhat.
Toledo
What's that?
Brady
It's a regular Bud.
Toledo
It is. I've heard Bud. Leaded.
Brady
Yeah, leaded. But he's like a hard hat.
Toledo
Didn't know that one.
Brady
And maybe that's his own.
John Holmberg
But they don't serve those at the.
Toledo
Rah Rah room there. No, no, no, wait. That's a good point. That's a good point. What's it. What's a Bud Light? A Bud. Soft hands. What's a hard hat and a guy like a Bud? Desk worker. Anyway, I just know they're handing you beer and you're driving and nobody's ever batted an eye at it. And it got me thinking yesterday, if John Elway was driving drunk in a golf cart, I've done that. I can't. I'm not like, obliterated, but too drunk to drive for sure. Many times. And on the golf course, we used to play it all the time. Part of it was driving down the road to get to the next hole. You had to. It's the only way to get there.
Brady
Those are the only places you get popped.
Toledo
That's what I'm saying. Why wouldn't a cop just sit there and nail everybody? It doesn't make sense to me if that's a law. No laws against golf cart drinking and driving. Megan fell out of the golf cart. That time I was sober as could be.
John Holmberg
Still a great video.
Toledo
Just fell out. Why? She's unbalanced. She's abroad. She couldn't even sit there without falling out of a golf cart. I wasn't even turning. I'm just going straight.
Brady
And that's what it sounded like on this deal.
Toledo
But if I ran over her head with the golf cart, it would have been the end of her. And then you try to explain you weren't dicking around. We were just driving straight and she fell out. You pushed her. Now I'm Scott Peterson. I'm not getting in golf carts anymore. I'm walking. I'm walking the courses from here on out. I'll get drunk and hoof it. I never had this fear until today because I can't tell you that countless the times you and I, when we almost killed. I almost killed you. When we were screwing around with ch and it was the end of the day and the grass had a little bit of a dew on it for some reason. They must have just walked early morning. No, it was late. It was late in the evening.
Brady
Oh, that's right.
Toledo
Cha. And when I hit that hill before the Biltmore put governors on the cart. So when you hit a hill, Brett, you get this thing up to like 30 miles an hour with full gas. It didn't have a governor.
Brady
17.
Toledo
And on the 17th hole, I went off the cart path and onto the grass and started go down this. And we're laughing hysterically. And I hit the brakes just trying to slow down the cart. And the back end started to slide. And Brady And I did, like, three. Three rotations. I mean, Brady was a good ballast. The weight was whipping us around, and it. And it whipped us three times. And I thought we were gonna die for sure. We were screaming. It was like plane strains and automobiles. I'm sure Brady looked at me, and I was in a devil suit. And we just stopped and couldn't stop laughing.
Brady
I could only imagine what CH is.
Toledo
Hey, hey, yo. I'm doing Indian Charles, the Indian Crazy Yank. Yeah, crazy. We've had plenty of them. That time that. That guy you knew that's no longer with us, that you lost your mind because he was driving around, ramming into stuff. Jeff Stapley, he was. He was trying to jump the golf cart. And Brady just screamed at the top of his lungs, enough. And it was. We were dying because Stapley was trying to jump over stuff in his golf course.
Brady
Gonna get kicked out.
Toledo
Yeah. And those things don't have lift at all. You think you're gonna leap over. The front end just dives. The second the front end is off the ground, just dives straight into the sand. And I had one. We had to tug out of the front of a lake once at the point at South Mountain, whatever they call that now. It was a little muddy, and I parked up at the top.
Brady
Arizona Grand.
Toledo
That's right. And I tried to come around the hill a little bit, and the car just started to slide down the hill into the water. We had to pull the front end out. My friend Danny Bond and I were ripping, and we're like, this is going in get you. There was two options there. Hang on to it and try to pull and put it in reverse. Try to pull or unhook our golf bags and let the thing go. Those are. That's what. Those are our positions in the back. And luckily, his friend Pat hopped in, put it in reverse, and probably could have run over us very easily, but we got some traction on it, got it out of there. Well, we almost killed Tripp in a golf cart last summer or last winter, Remember? I got it. I got it high, centered on that curb. And Tripp is the only one that took the initiative to try to push it from behind. And he loosened it up.
Brady
Yeah.
Toledo
And then just absolutely eight.
Brady
Almost went over.
Toledo
He did win. Well, no, I was forward. I'm gassing it. And he's pushing. And it caught, and he took. But he was pushing from behind, so all of his weight was going forward. And then the cart disappeared, and Tripp went face first into the mud. It was a great moment that was also the time when Eric Brian asked Tripp if he remembered training when he was 19. Or is that too long ago? And he wasn't joking. We were all talking about being 19 and he looked and he goes, tripp, can you remember when you were 19? I'm like, there's no way you can remember 100 years ago. Brian who didn't mean it like that, bro. Like you said it like that though. And that's how he took it. Morning sickness. 98k u p d hey Byron, I.

Toledo
Tripp, can you think back when you were relevant and human all the way back to when you were 19? Did they have houses then or were you just cave people? Golf. The only reason that's funny is because we were drunk. That was the ninth hole. Trip had grass stains and mud in his face. Eric was offending old people. I'm laughing the whole time. We hadn't even gotten to the second half of the round. We were already drunk. And it was like 12 degrees that day. We quit after 9 and then went and drank inside.
Brady
It was a good day.
Toledo
It was a great day. Don't take this away from us. Yeah. I never knew the rule of golf cart drinking, but this had me thinking. This is scary. And all those people that have golf. I know Maryville, you don't know what we're talking about. But a lot of white people in good areas have golf carts. They drive around the neighborhood. I don't understand it either. It's a little too white for me.
Brady
That's called Grand Canyon University Golf Course now. Used to be Maryville.
Toledo
Oh, yeah. Well, they. They don't allow. It's private. You're not allowed on there all the time.
Brady
They fixed it up.
Toledo
Maryville doesn't understand though, the house to house car. That's too Caucasian for even me. We'll just take the golf cart. I'm like, why we can't. I guess that's true. And then white people just drive in golf carts from one white person's house to another white person's house.
John Holmberg
Well, you do that. You just said.
Toledo
I know. With Mark, it's a little too Caucasian. They decorate it for Christmas and it's super duper white. Yeah. They should be robbed. And what I'm saying is, could we get some street thugs to rob these people every once in a while? Kind of. I want. What I want is doors and locks on the golf carts because they finally got their comeuppance.
Brady
They see the soft top one, Sun City or the west where they put the whole.
Toledo
Yeah. They covered up shell like they make a little house out of. Is a white person thing though. And it's like you got to be exceptionally Nordic. It's not for all of us. You see it sometimes like yuck. And then the other thing is, is because somehow or another it escapes the rules of being too drunk to not have your 10 year old drive you home. Because that's what goes on. Mark's daughter, from the age of probably 11 to now, she's 16, has been driving us back and Forth in that cart for years. She's not a licensed driver at all. She's allowed to drink at Tempe Tavern, but that's it.
John Holmberg
Who isn't?
Toledo
Yeah, exactly. It's baby day at Tempe Tavern. They have a daycare, for God's sakes.
John Holmberg
Kids drink for half off.
Toledo
I always thought it was funny that Tempe Tavern had a slide in a ball pit, but what are you gonna do? What do you got on the big board of musical treats there?
John Holmberg
Wake up. So I'm brought to you by Action Ride Shop, of course, and, well, now's the time to get those bikes ready for bike season. And no better place to do that than at Action Ride Shop. You need to get it serviced. You need to get. Maybe you need a new bike. You're sick of the old Huffy in the garage they're gonna take care of. It's the only place to go in town. Pivot, Santa Cruz, Rocky Mountain. You name it, they got it. Or they'll get it for you in two locations. One right there by the Haas trailhead on power Road and McDowell. This is the one you got to see. You got to see that new store. And of course, the OG right there on Gilbert Road and Southern.
Toledo
And you got to see that store, too, to understand the comparison. Yeah, great the new one is. And how good the old one was, but. Right.
John Holmberg
But that new one, even they admit.
Toledo
It'S a nice thing. This is the only way I'll golf with the Ghouls outside of the heat stroke open. We're working on getting that back, by the way. So it's golfing with Holmberg. It says if I get terminal cancer, we're going golfing and I'm buying drinks. It sounds fun. All right, deal. You get terminal cancer, but I'm driving the cart because you got nothing to lose. You get terminal cancer, and you're out there having fun with me. At any moment now, you're just gonna be like, this is it. I'm taking this into the ground. And if I'm riding shotgun in that thing, no way.
Brady
You're a passenger, Caleb.
Toledo
Yeah. Terminal cancer. Boy, you sit there with. With no eyebrows, and you deal with me. I'm driving, and I don't know. You hold on to your own IV as we're cruising along. Hopefully it has wheels. I picture him in a hospital gown, little mick hat.
Brady
We can zip tie it to the post.
Toledo
Oh, I suppose that's true. But then you got to unzip tie for when it's his turn. He's going to hang on to it and ride it next to the car I'm driving. And that goes for all of you. I'll golf with you if you can prove to me you've got terminal cancer in this, and it has to be terminal. I can't have you coming back later and wanting to be my golf buddy because you're in remission. That's friendship. That friendship with a stranger. I'm not interested.
John Holmberg
Be like Gene Simmons when you ask him if he can be friends.
Toledo
I saw what happened to Michael Jackson with those terminal kids when they turned 30 because they were all better. They ratted him out for everything. I don't want the terminal cancer guy to go like, hey, do some donuts. It's my last couple days, and the next thing you know, he gets better. And then I'm in a courtroom going, he's trying to kill me. Like, I. What you asked for. You can't. I've always said this, and I mean it. You can't trust people with terminal cancer. They make terrible decisions because they got nothing to lose. If they get better, they might get some hindsight and start blaming you for all the things that almost happened. And then he drove off a cliff in the golf cart because I. I had terminal cancer, and he said I had nothing to lose. Why not? So, yeah, if all you got. If any of you get terminal cancer, you're like my. You know, and it's on your bucket list for some reason to golf with me. I'll do it, but that's the only way. And I need some serious doctor stuff. You have to be. You have to be bald. Eyebrows and everything have to be gone. You have to be through. I can't just have initially diagnosed. I need.
John Holmberg
So Whoopi Goldberg might be calling you.
Toledo
Yeah. You have to look like Whoopi. Yeah.
Brady
Bandana.
Toledo
Yeah. I want that. I want that guy. I want Tom Hanks and the third act of Philadelphia to get in the cart. Kind of weak sometimes. I gotta help you pick up a club. I'm not going out with healthy terminal cancer. You might get better, and the next thing you know, you're texting me all the time, like, what if you're not fun? Like, you're not gonna be that much fun. You're gonna be kind of depressing. I'm rooting for you to get better, but that doesn't mean we have to be friends for life. I got Doug Hopkins calling me all the time already, so I don't need. What if they're terminal cancer people? And they love talking on. On the phone. And I find that out the hard way, Brett, like, oh, hey, hey. Guess what? What is it? Are you. Is this it? Last day. No. Doctor says it's gone, so I'm gonna be calling you every day. Oh, mother, this is a nightmare. Remember the day you got told you had terminal cancer? How awful that was? Yeah, you told me. You're gonna call me every day. That's my 9 11.
John Holmberg
It's right up there.
Toledo
Right there. But yeah, Brent, I'm with you on this one. You get terminal cancer and I'll golf with you. Said I wouldn't go golfing with you, Holmberg, if I got diagnosed with terminal cancer. Because if we told people that one of the people in the cart had terminal cancer, you'd be the one that got all the sympathy. That's right. I already look like I've got it said eventually. John, this is the same guy that first started. I would tell you I'm going to drive the cart for a second, and you'd watch me Titanic that thing right into the water hazard, not even try to get out. Just gonna sw. Because as long as I get my PXGs off the back of the thing before you wreck that. Can't have you go wasting.
Brady
It'd be a third set.
Toledo
Oh, yeah. I can't do that. Well, and that's not my decision if I'm giving or breaking all my clubs. And it's my choice. That's mine. If you terminal cancer boy, go shooting it into the lake. And I'm like, well, I gotta go get my clubs now. Hey, remember als, Matt?
Brady
Yeah.
Toledo
He just emailed me and said, want to go golfing thing. He's got that horrible als. That'll be a long day.
Brady
Nine. We go nine in the executive course.
Toledo
You saw him. He ain't making it. 9.
John Holmberg
Golf land.
Toledo
He's got that translator pop stroke. Even still, I don't think I'm going to do that. I'll go to a putting green with you for, like a half an hour. There's no way you're going to. I would like to see that for a second, though, because somebody like he was holding a beer with two hands swinging a club. He's going to be there all day, I bet. Maxi topgolf. Yeah, he might jump. I'm not doing that.
Brady
I got a net.
Toledo
That's true. It'll catch him, which would be disappointing for him anyway. What are you gonna do, Brett? Give me a song on the list?
John Holmberg
Primus. Here Comes the Bastards for all those 911 shirt people with the sticks in their asses. Yeah, king nothing for LeBron. Ozzy tool sober for Tempe Tavern. We came as Romans. A day to remember. For you Fest. Hell yeah. Drink, drink. Drunk for Elway Creed. My sacrifice for Tempe Tavern. This one's kind of fitting mob rules from Black Sabbath for the Tavern and everybody else. And Rolling Stones under my thumb to repeal the 19th.
Toledo
We're not. To be clear, we are not not aboard repealing the 19th amendment.
John Holmberg
Are we against it?
Toledo
I just said we are not aboard repealing the 19th Amendment. If it starts as a movement, damn it all. Best to log to you, but I'm not going to get involved. Repealing that was some listener's idea that we found out. Their shirts. There's a. There's a group of people that find it funny. I'm one of them. Do I actually want women not to vote? No. But if there's a group of active people out there that make that happen, maybe it's the people's will, ironically. Would women be allowed to vote if we tried to repeal the 19th amendment? Would they be allowed to vote on that.
Brady
After. No.
Toledo
Yeah. After we'd. Well, that's the thing. It's a real circle there, because they would have a decision whether or not they were allowed to vote in anymore. And who would they.
John Holmberg
Then.
Toledo
They lost. They would never. We would like, always put it to a vote whether they could have a vote again. That's how good. That's how nice men were. Back in that day. Women weren't allowed to vote for the 19th Amendment. Somehow or another, it passed, which means they never put it to the people. That was a. That got pushed through. That might have been an executive order. There's no way that went out to it.
Brady
That would have been a tough one to pass.
Toledo
No way back in the nineteen teens, they went out to the men of the world and said, all right, you think women should be allowed to vote, we're going to put it to you. They'd still be fighting. I don't even know who the president was that said, yeah, go ahead with that. But women should love that guy.
Brady
Congress, after, you know, 30 days and no sex, they're like, put it through.
Toledo
Yeah, they held us hot. They held those disgusting furries. Pets hostage from this congressman. I don't know if they were as lucky back then of having hostage negotiations with their genitals, because those things were.
Brady
It's always been Woodrow Wilson, no matter what's, always been powerful.
Toledo
Yeah. But I think if you held it hostage. It would have been a nice break. It's always been powerful, but man oh man, I guess if they didn't have anything to compare it to. But can't imagine great band name coming out of my mouth in a second. I can't imagine Grandma's being something that I'd be fighting for. I don't know how Alvar thought to himself there. She doesn't get her way. She hides that from me. I'd be like, I'm fine with that. I've been pulling hair out of my teeth since 1931. All right, let's do it. Mob rules. It's Black Sabbath, everybody. It's 98 KUPD. It's out of control.

Episode: May 1, 2025
Host/Authors: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo
Published on: May 1, 2025
In this episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness on Arizona's #1 Morning Radio Show, host John Holmberg and his co-hosts Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo delve into everyday frustrations and surprising news stories. The primary discussions revolve around the challenges of handling cash transactions in modern society and a tragic incident involving John Elway's agent.
The episode opens with Toledo recounting a personal experience in Las Vegas that highlights a broader societal issue: the declining ability to handle simple cash transactions.
Toledo (05:18): "I had to pay for something with cash. It was $38. I said, 'All I got is a hundred. You don't have cards.' And at that moment, I thought to myself, I do, but the fact that you don't want $100 in your hand confuses me."
Toledo describes the confusion and inefficiency when attempting to receive change:
Toledo (06:08): "He gave me a quarter. How's that? I didn't tell him. Register opens. He stares down, he looks at me. Calculator comes out, works it. For a second, I'm just dead quiet, like, you gotta be kidding me, man."
Brady supports Toledo’s frustration, noting the difficulty many establishments face in handling larger bills:
Brady (05:37): "Does have the ability to put it into the register."
The hosts discuss how reliance on digital payments has eroded basic mathematical skills essential for everyday transactions, lamenting the loss of fundamental cash-handling abilities:
Toledo (07:43): "I need a cut of this. I'm not doing it. I'll get canceled. I'm not an idiot."
They further explore the societal implications, suggesting that younger generations may lack the necessary skills to manage cash effectively:
Toledo (08:10): "Making changes. Children should do it. That's why you started Kool Aid stands and stuff in the inner city and lemonade stands in the white communities."
The conversation shifts to a distressing news story about John Elway's agent who was killed after falling out of a golf cart driven by Elway. The hosts express their reactions and delve into the potential implications of the incident.
Toledo speculates on the nature of the accident:
Toledo (17:06): "I personally think it's suicide. I think that that guy is killing himself. I think that's intentional and it's horrifying."
Brady adds his perspective, questioning whether it was a mere accident or influenced by other factors:
Brady (20:35): "Certainly looks like it."
Toledo contemplates the legal aspects and potential consequences if Elway was impaired:
Toledo (24:07): "What's the rule on golf cart drunkenness? ... I'm guilty every time."
The discussion highlights concerns about safety protocols related to operating recreational vehicles, especially when alcohol is involved. They debate the responsibilities of drivers and the enforcement of DUI laws on golf courses:
Toledo (27:00): "He wrecked a golf cart. If he's drunk, that's what a freak accident is."
Beyond the main topics, the episode features lighter banter and anecdotes about golfing mishaps and the quirks of golf cart culture. The hosts share humorous yet cautionary tales about erratic driving and the importance of adhering to safety measures on the course.
Toledo (38:20): "We were laughing hysterically. I hit the brakes just trying to slow down the cart. And the back end started to slide down the hill into the water."
They also touch upon societal observations, such as the prevalence of alcohol consumption in recreational settings and its impact on decision-making:
Toledo (44:09): "It's a little too white for me. They decorate it for Christmas and it's super duper white."
The episode wraps up with reflections on the discussed topics, emphasizing the need for a balance between modernization and maintaining essential life skills. The hosts encourage listeners to engage critically with everyday challenges and stay informed about unexpected events in their community.
Toledo (55:15): "We're not aboard repealing the 19th Amendment. If it starts as a movement, damn it all."
This episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness offers listeners a blend of humor, personal anecdotes, and serious discussions on pressing societal issues. From the everyday frustration of managing cash transactions to the sobering reality of accidents involving public figures, the hosts provide insightful commentary that resonates with a wide audience.
