[Brett]

Hey Byron, I was [e-mail]'s website. You have everything and the prices are incredible.

[Byron]

Yes sir. Mmpguns.com has over 400,000 products for sale daily. Everything from firearms, ammunition, accessories, optics, clothing, decoys and more. The best part is if you see it on our website, it's in stock and ready to ship.

[Brett]

Sounds simple. That's why I always go to MMP guns.com you thought that was funny?

[Brady]

You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? There you go. Thank you. Miles to nowhere Katie and the Hobbs getting us Started once again, right here, says, who knew that your Karate kid talk would devolve into a Liberty Biberty level fan fight? And it's still going. Kyle and Travis are still. We're going to put a stop to it. I will stop this show, and I will turn around. We'll go right home. Don't you make me do it. And then. Yeah, people are. Two questions here from listeners. Ethan says about Kevin firing his wife. Is he hiring now? Is that an opening? I'm a hard worker, and unlike his wife, I'll blow him at work. All right, well, Ethan, go apply and put that in special skills. And my buddy, former password Cranston. Oh, I had to tell somebody. My password dealer. Remember, we went through passwords. Somebody is doing. Some guys, the turf monsters. People are doing some stuff at my house. And so all my Internet went down, not because of them, but there was an electrical thing, and I think it was just something triggered when. I don't know how it worked. They had things plugged into things. And the pool pump came on when this. And it broke a breaker and turned the power off. I don't think they did it. I think it was just a coincidence. Got it all snapped back up. But I couldn't get my Internet back, so I had to text the guy who installed everything.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And I'm like. Because he can do everything remote, so my TV is not on the right. And he's got this thing. I'm usually pretty good at this. He's got this thing, like, dialed in where everything's tied back to my phone and I control each TV from anywhere in the world. And I'm like, I can't get it to grab the phone. He goes, all right, hang on. He goes. He goes, you have a new password for your. For your Internet. I'm like, oh, because remember we did the thing the other day where we're like, let's put things in for Internet that are the worst things ever. Even bad guys won't type them. And I did that. So one of my Internet passwords, I have to. I changed it again afterwards because he goes, so I need the new password. And I'm like, okay, it's capital J, Jon Bennays. And he goes, oh, man. Oh, my God. JonBenet's six, nine, exclamation point. He goes, what the. I know. Nobody's going to try to steal that. He goes, that might be the safest password ever. I don't want to put it in. I know, I know. I'll change it.

[Larry McFeely]

Deep drive yeah.

[Brady]

And that would have been deep inside JonBenet. Nobody wants to type those words.

[Brett]

I think you're pretty.

[Brady]

Even a horrible person who wants to steal your stuff is like, I'm not. I'm not typing that. But I have a new one, and it may be worse. I can't tell you because it's. But Cranston, who used to be Cranston Munger, was in high school with me. Used to be my password. He didn't even know that. I didn't even know. He listened 15 years ago, when passwords became a thing. Cranston Munger. 69. Exclamation point was my. You know, for stuff I didn't care about getting broken into. I'm like, no way anybody's gonna guess a guy I went to junior high with with a crazy name. But then I had to change it because I told everybody Cranston says, speed Buggy. I'm not up to date on the entire lexicon of the show. What the f is that? I miss it. Oh. Speed Buggy is when a girl's got front farts and they won't stop. You know what I mean? So when you see, like, you know, and you just tried to make it cartoonishly fun, and since I'm a child, it makes me laugh every time. So there you go. Now you're all caught up. Sometimes I forget some people missed the Speed Buggy episode, which is when I tell people who are like, I'm three days behind on the Internet, on the podcast, and, like, you don't have to do it, but sometimes you kind of do. Speed Buggies. You miss gems like this six months ago.

[Brett]

Behind, though.

[Brady]

I mean. All right, all right. Maybe he was sick that day, just missed an episode. So that's. This is why old soap operas used to put out a weekly book that women at the grocery store would grab and go, if I miss a couple episodes, I can catch up. Maybe we should do that. Maybe, Brett, you should start doing that. The Chronicles of the Sickness, and then put a pamphlet together. On Wednesday's show, we dove into the Speed Buggy.

[Brett]

So we do for the. The rewind on Saturdays, Right?

[Brady]

But if you missed that. So we. Then you're screwed. You need a.

[Brett]

We don't have some dedication.

[Brady]

Damn it all. We need something back up for the backup. We need a backup for the backup. Brady's, right? Yeah. What do they call that when you do that in planes and they have stuff that backs up other backups? I forget what they call repeaters or something like that. They've got stuff like that. It can't. It can't stop backing itself up so you don't crash. So we put out a little pamphlet and maybe we can do it on the Internet and say Monday show we discuss this. Here's new words for the week that we kind of came up with. Here were the band names for the week. You know, it's not a bad idea for the people to keep up. Also, by the way, that little grassroots give your jerseys to Africa program, that's going to be humongous. People were talking on my emails yesterday. I probably got, I'm not kidding, 200 people telling me which jerseys they'd give up. Everybody's got a dumb one or two. So we will coat Africa in our unwanted NFL jerseys for guys or NBA or MLB or hockey. I mean all you Coyotes people that bought. What was the one dude that emailed me yesterday said he had some dude for the Coyotes 10 years ago. Some. I forget his name. Brick builder or whatever. Had a cool last name. He played for like a blip, but his wife got him the jersey and he said now it's just dust because he played for a year and then he moved on. He had a cool ass name though, like brick kicker or something. He played in like 2013. He had his jersey. He said, I give that up. And your Coyotes. I've got a bunch of Coyotes jerseys and I kind of like one of them. It's more and it's got my name on, so it can't really. Yeah, I like that one. And it is kind of throwback to something that no longer exists. It's like having a Houston Oilers jersey. That's kind of neat at this point. Redundancy. Thank you. That's what that's called.

[Brett]

Here's this email over here. I don't know if you caught this one yet, but this picture actually goes with it.

[Brady]

We gotta get a picture of them. Says, I heard talk about the jerseys. I have one from Hella stray from the mid-90s. Get out of here. Jerry used to take old practice jerseys and put them up for sale at Texas Stadium. I grabbed one from dale because it's a 3XL and I'm big. Still works 30 years later. Fits like a glove. Been on me throughout all the failures of the Cowboys. And there's the jersey. A torn up old practice Dale Hellestre, some dude listening to us owns. You need to put that in the pile and give it to Africa. There's fat Africans. I'm sure. I don't see them too often. On there because they're usually begging for.

[Brett]

Food, but, you know, the Dale wants it back.

[Brady]

You think that 3x is necessary in Africa?

[Brett]

I mean, fit a family of four in there, but.

[Brady]

Yeah, why don't we just give him a tent or something? But aren't we just helping the warlords at that point? Because if there's a 3x, he's getting all the rice. Oh, yeah. All the. All the food we drop on the village that needs clothes. I don't think a 3x is necessary, but that's pretty great. Got himself a hell of straight jersey because Jerry Jones sold their jerseys when they were done with them.

[Larry McFeely]

For the warlord only.

[Brady]

That's pretty. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That' the IDI Amin. That dude's president of something. That's pretty good stuff. All right. I like that. And then I found out yesterday this is kind of horrible, sad news that the guy from three days or Three Doors down has stage four cancer. The lead singer has stage four cancer, and it started as a renal cell and then went into his lungs. And so they've canceled their tour. And three doors. They just think, three Doors Down. You're like, oh, I got a couple. They get. I went through it when I read this. Nothing but hits one after another. And I never really put it on Three Doors down to have. If I went to a concert of theirs, that I'd be singing along 10 or 11 times.

[Brett]

Saw them last year because they opened.

[Brady]

They good.

[Brett]

I think it was for Creed. Yeah, they're real good. Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

But they said. Did several dates opening for Creed.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah, They're. They canceled a tour that was supposed to start next week, but you forget, like, here without you When I'm gone Kryptonite. It's not my time.

[Brett]

The list just goes on.

[Brady]

You forget like, Jesus. These guys were clobbering the early 2000s, late 90s with hit after hit. So that came across and kind of got sad. I'm like, three doors down. And I was confused it. Because it got into that three days grace. Three doors down.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Number bands that were everywhere. Blink 182, some 41, you know, had all these bands with numbers, and I confuse all of their songs. And then I went through, and I'm like, jesus, these guys. So that's just terrible news to hear. And hopefully stage four is never good. So usually what I would say is, brace yourselves. There is no stage five. That's out and recovering from stage four. When it's jumped from one thing to the next, very tough. But maybe. Maybe the dude you know, survives a huge one.

[Larry McFeely]

Kidney. Hopefully it's just.

[Brady]

Well, it's in his lungs, too. Metastasized into his lungs. Yeah, that's what he was talking about yesterday, so.

[Larry McFeely]

And it spread to his lungs.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's right, Brady, I just told you that.

[Larry McFeely]

I know. I just saw that.

[Brady]

No, no, I told you a second ago. You just see it. But did you hear me, Brett, or am I? Yeah. Anyway, so hopefully that gets taken care of. It's not good. That's never good to hear. And he's young, 46 years old, so. I mean, part of me says Night of the Singing Dead, a couple huge hits. Stage four announcements are never like, long term, so hopefully this guy kicks it and does something special. But I am a realist in life. And when a doctor says you got stage four and it's in a couple places in your body, you're gonna be running for. For a very short period of time. And the last thing you want is that to go on and on and on. Oh, by the way, we did the Engelbert Humperdink commercial yesterday, and people are like, who is that? You're right. He was a. I don't know. When he was a star. 60s and 70s.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Name a song. The Humperdink. It's such a huge name in the. In the world of music. Engelbert Humperdink.

[Larry McFeely]

He was like, right in the. I thought, you know, similar to that in the. Tom Jones.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah, But Tom Jones had what's Up Pussycat Delilah? Like you can.

[Larry McFeely]

Not unusual.

[Brady]

It's not unusual, which is still a great one. Can't take my Eyes off of you is the one from Engelbert Humperdink. But I don't know that that was just his.

[Brett]

Now everybody did. I think he was like one of those standards guys where they had one song and like 17 people did it.

[Brady]

But do you ever. And chicks loved Engelbert Humperding like he was a. Despite the name. And then we had to land. She proudly lifts her voice. And this was the one from Beavis and Buttheads Mov. And he actually sang sooner. Made response by singing call, call, call. You think he does this with me? Lesbian Se. Lesbian Seagull by Ingleburg Settle down and rest with me because of Fly With Me, an egregious screw up. Yesterday we were running Engelbert Humperdinck concert commercials. Maybe it wasn't a screw up. Maybe we will just do that.

[Brett]

That commercial.

[Brady]

If he does Lesbian Seagull live, I go for it.

[Brett]

If they have it on the screen.

[Larry McFeely]

Actually. It says a big song that when he did Release Me. Is that the.

[Brady]

Please release me, Let me go. I thought Dean Martin sang that first.

[Brett]

Everybody sang.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Yeah. I don't know what he's saying though. Quando Cuando quando. That was the one. I remember my mom used to play Kwondo Kwondo. So if you want, we're going to give away Engelbert Humperdinck tickets because if the sales staff doesn't get, you know, on that ball real fast with their mistakes. But I get, you know, every time anything happens here, I hear about it for days. I'm definitely going to start pointing out their mistakes too. I guess that's what we do around here. That's how we back each other up. Yeah. So you got that. So Humperdinck is coming to town and we're going to have that. We're going to do some humperdink post its in a little while. What do you got? Toledo. Your mom was a humperdinker.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh God.

Somebody screwed up, put it on the wrong station, whatever.

[Brady]

Not run on any other station it isn't. Nope. Not on the oldies station. Nope. We have an oldie station today.

[Dick Toledo]

Maybe yesterday, but maybe, you know, I don't know.

[Brady]

Hey, look, I'm fine with them wanting to spend money here, but if we have any. But any decent human being downstairs going, no, no, no, don't waste your money. That's not. It's not your target audience.

[Dick Toledo]

But like we said yesterday, too. Shouldn't somebody at Wekapa go, hey, no.

[Brady]

No, somebody here should. Yeah, somebody here should go, that's not good for your company. We don't have that.

[Brett]

There's the Humperdink set list.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah, he's live songs. He's 90 years old. But Lesbian Seagull is not on the set list. Damn it.

[Dick Toledo]

If you don't know me by now.

[Brady]

If you don't know me. But if you don't know me.

[Brett]

That's a cover.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, they're all not the simply red version.

[Brady]

Even covers Faithfully and the Cars. This might be good. Maybe we should let him advertise. This looks like a great show.

[Brett]

Barry White.

[Brady]

What's he do for Barry White?

[Brett]

You're the first. That's my everything.

[Brady]

My last my everything. How about that? Anyway.

[Brett]

Encore.

[Brady]

What's his closer release then? The encore. We'll meet again. All right. Well, there you go. That's it. So Humperdink's out there if you want to get in on that. The Humperdink commercials ran yesterday after the loving put a party bus together. Oh, that'll be fun. Make sure that there's a lot of insure and wet wipes.

[Larry McFeely]

Does it start at 5?

[Brady]

It's almost over by 6. 30. But you can't get these people out the long drive to. We could. Pie should leave at noon, play some nickel slots, hop in there, Humper Dink, and then go home. Can we rush the stage? Is there a pit? You know, that would be fun. A kupd. But you know what we should do? We should force the hand of the sales team that screwed this up, get, like 50 tickets and start a Humper Dink pit. I'll go to that.

[Brett]

Another song.

[Brady]

Quando Quando Kwondo Quando Quando Quando was the one that was. This was at my house a lot.

[Larry McFeely]

It smelled of the ladies.

[Brady]

Oh, this one got him. This was. This is a. This is a moisture machine right here. Tell me when will you be mine? Chick's blowing bubbles out of that thing. This was on in my house a lot when I was a little kid. This is sexy time music for Marcy, I think this was. My mom leaned on the vacuum. My dad. Dad was at home.

[Unknown]

How come you always go in there.

[Brady]

And lean on the washer? Just making sure it's working.

[Unknown]

Don't play with your blocks, idiot.

[Brady]

Okay, tell me one up, one up, one Do I remember Quando Kwondo Kwondo. She'd break out. She'd break out an album, pop it on there. Quando Kwondo Kwondo was on. And then you'd go hear it, go right back and start that song all over. And we'd be Quando Kwondo Kwondo ing all day.

[Larry McFeely]

But when he busted to release me, it was Speed Bug.

[Brady]

Yeah. I go in my mom's room, and it looked like there was a, like, the end of Lawrence Welk. There's just bubbles floating.

[Unknown]

Got really moist in here. I can blow bubbles with it.

[Brady]

Wow, that's impressive.

[Brett]

Me.

[Brady]

Yeah. This is literally lemonade from the lemons handed to us. This is. Please release me.

[Brett]

Yeah, yeah, I'm releasing.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah. Please.

[Brett]

Release me.

[Brady]

Let me go.

[Unknown]

I'm blowing bubbles with it.

[Brady]

I love you Anymore.

[Unknown]

I've never been so moist in my life. Look, my skin is. It's rejuvenating.

[Brett]

I mean, you're talking about the crowd at James Taylor concerts. Can you imagine this crowd?

[Brady]

No.

[Larry McFeely]

On fire.

[Brett]

That is Night of the Singing Dead at this show.

[Brady]

Thank you guys for bringing all the bubble makers.

[Unknown]

That's his nickname for his girlfriends. We're the bubble makers.

[Brady]

And then the one girl's like, yep, I love it here.

[Unknown]

Okay. You can't stay. Your bubbles are too big, and they have smoke in them.

[Brady]

That's the Eaglebert Humperdinck. So if you guys were curious, the Humperdinck commercial got us all thinking. Donovan said, good Lord, that old gay Brit sure can't sing. Those living mummies are gonna have their juices flowing for the first time since Clinton. That's true. It'll be since the Clinton administration.

[Unknown]

I haven't felt this good since 92.

[Brady]

18 years old.

[Unknown]

Well, yeah.

[Brady]

Turn that thing off. What?

[Unknown]

I'm gonna go lean on the washer. It's been a long time.

[Brady]

Yeah, so have fun with that. There'll be mushrooms growing on their pants and stuff. It's not a clean area. It's fungal. Fungal strike.

[Unknown]

Look, honey, Engelbrook grew mushrooms.

[Brady]

Mow it down and go get breakfast. The whole time he's singing, you leave like you're Carol Ann from the TV in Poltergeist covered in this goo. So humid in there.

[Unknown]

Oh, my God. They say he's gay, but I don't believe that to be true. The gays don't live to be 89. They died of the age. Remember? We're from a different time. It's okay to say it.

[Brady]

What's Engelbert gay?

[Larry McFeely]

I don't know.

[Brady]

That's what everybody's telling me.

[Larry McFeely]

He's got five offspring.

[Brady]

See, that doesn't mean a thing. Please listen to him go. I want to thank the mistake downstairs for letting us know that Engelbert will be in town soon. You know what? He's not doing that. The band we're celebrating coming to town is doing is burning up all of the Chicago Bulls banners. See that? Disturbed torched a bunch of the championship banners at Chicago Stadium. The United center up there in Chicago. And those are the originals, so they have to replace them. And I don't know what kind of value that is, or if Disturbs got to kick in for that or if that's an insurance claim. But their pyro torched the. The Bulls championship banners.

[Brett]

And they're from Chicago, too.

[Brady]

I know. Well, they've left their mark. I say you leave it. I say you leave them a little burned up. Now. I don't know how badly they got burned. I didn't see pictures. But it's irreplaceable, according to the article I read. Like, it can't. You can't fix what was done. Like, you can't brush it off. It's noticeable. It's bad. We got to put up new ones. And I guess you could just drop new ones, but those were the ones that originally fell. Like when they did the celebration they unfurled that disturbed. Burned them up. So Brett, when you bring down our listener to interview the band, honestly, dig deep. Tell me how you felt when you torched up the Chicago Bull stuff. That's. That's got. I mean, you guys had to some asses tightened up, right? Has to. Has to. This guy just sent me this too. Says, speaking of mushrooms, I have this growing out of my apartment floor. He's got mushrooms.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, wow.

[Brady]

Growing out of the carpet in his floor. Some moisture you need to move or run. You've got black mold. And you're gonna die from that. Yeah, you're gonna die from that. Oh, he's grown. No, these aren't the good ones. These are carpet mushrooms. I woke up in my friend's college apartment on was by Ken McDonald Golf Course. We were all jealous. He got this huge two bedroom. This is. We couldn't believe it. It was two bedrooms. It was beautiful. Had a huge living room. Which apartments never have, like a sitting room.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And a family room.

[Larry McFeely]

Like a great room.

[Brady]

It was incredible. And it had that 90s kitchen where it was just crammed in the corner with the counters and that peep through thing like where the counter and the cabinets dropped down. A weird look through that was never eye height unless you were six. The kitchen kind of stun. It was big though. You could put a table in the kitchen, which is rare for an apartment. This thing probably was 2,500 square foot. $600. And he's like, I don't even need a roommate. Like, you don't. This is incredible. You've got a guest room. So every night things would go sideways for us. Drinking. And we're like, we're staying over at the. The palace pad. I woke up on the floor. I hadn't even had much to drink. I just didn't want to drive home. And I remember waking up going, I can't breathe. I feel something is wrong on the carpet. Mushrooms. Hundreds of them from overnight. It was not there when I went to bed.

[Larry McFeely]

You woke up. It was like Avatar, the tree of life.

[Brady]

It was the last of us, Brady. It was the apocalypse. There were mushrooms all over this apartment.

[Dick Toledo]

What's this?

[Brady]

I'm like, oh. A guy comes out, he goes, what happens? And I literally am like, I can't take a deep breath. I think this is. And it's. Cause this apartment was so packed full of mold and crap that it grew out of there every day.

[Larry McFeely]

Still worth it. 600 bucks.

[Brady]

No, he's dead. By the way. The guy who had the Apartment is no longer with us. But it wasn't because of the mushrooms. He got hit by a truck, but still. Yeah, that'll do in Texas or something. He was nuts. This dude was gonna. He was never gonna make it long. I think he was just standing in the freeway.

[Larry McFeely]

And again, does that place even exist anymore?

[Brady]

Yes. I've driven by. I can't remember the name of it, but it's. I want to say it's on Beldemar. And whatever road Ken McDonald Golf Course is on, it's across the street from that. And they're there. They're awful looking now, but they're 600 bucks. Two bedrooms, 2500 square feet. He furnished the whole thing. Dude was a waiter. Killing it, going to college. And I'm like, this is the greatest deal in the history of man. Woke up and I'm not like the whole floor of mushrooms everywhere. All over the place. Place. And I just remember feeling like I had pneumonia. I can't breathe. And I had to open a door and go outside and get real air. Cuz his apartment had. And I'm like, tell your landlord you got to fix this. How long does this. How. Oh, in the spring and fall it happens every day. Every day. Never noticed it. Summertime, we were drinking all the time. It never happened in the summer, but in the when it was a little moist. Like right now after yesterday and the last couple days, that place, it's a science lab. Never seen anything like it. So. Yeah, dude, who sent me the picture of mushrooms? Just get out. Tell your landlord, burn the house down. You've got black mold. No question about it.

[Brett]

Move from the west side.

[Brady]

Yeah. Or. Well, I didn't ask that this. I mean, in fairness, the one I was in was in the east side too. In Tempe. It wasn't even like.

[Brett]

Like ah, college though. That's kind of.

[Brady]

But it was up by Ken McDonald. It wasn't even near the college. It was a decent place.

[Brett]

Where's Ken McDonald?

[Brady]

It's like. Was that Guadalupe and rural something like that somewhere?

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, Tried around.

[Brett]

Oh, like by Kwana's parking lot.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Okay.

[Brady]

These were nice. And you know, once I. Once I saw it, I'm like, for 600 bucks a month, I'm getting in on this. I don't want roommates either. And then I woke up in that mushroom field my buddy Andy and his friend Joe had. They'd grow along the base of their sliding glass door and their apartment. Little mushrooms. Not like this.

[Larry McFeely]

The inside.

[Brady]

Oh yeah. On. In the carpet, in the rug. They big ones. You know like when you go outside in your house and it rains. You're like mushrooms.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Giant white gigantic huge mushrooms. Wasn't there 10 minutes ago. Now there it is. That was. It was this dude's brown carpet covered in weird grayish white mushrooms rooms. So if that is happening in your apartment, it's time to go. Time to go. So we'll get Engelbert Humperdinck and Disturbed tickets to you today. And disturbed is going to happen in a little while where we're going to make you guys post just do practice telling you right now if you want to win these things, practice your disturbed noises because you're going to post a song by telling us anything you want to just promote the hell out of you.

[Unknown]

Look, it's like a rice patty down there. There's Vietnamese people tending to my farm.

[Larry McFeely]

200 bubble guns.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah, just.

[Unknown]

I didn't know I could still do it.

[Brady]

It.

[Unknown]

That's 35 years of buildup and it's all coming out in bubble form.

[Brady]

That frothy, soapy old lady bubble floating through the air. Can't even pop it with your finger. You need a tennis racket so viscous and thick it, like, struggles to flip.

[Unknown]

All right.

[Brett]

Angel comes in like Moses parting the Red Sea.

[Brady]

Yeah. Angle bird just bats the bubbles away. Hello, ladies. How you doing?

[Unknown]

There he is. He's touching my bubble.

[Dick Toledo]

That's my bubble.

[Unknown]

Inger.

[Brady]

I believe you ladies are all ready for me now. I can tell by the bubbles in the air you're a good God.

[Unknown]

I'm gonna hit him with one of my bubbles.

[Brady]

It's like a Gallagher concert, only in reverse. The. The act, the artist gets covered in goo. Yeah, Take grandma to Englebert Humper Dinkin. Have her, you know, throw one leg over the walker, start firing bubbles at Engelbert. Good news is your grandma's gonna have new hips because after that show, she's gonna put them to the test. So go to the Core Institute, tell her about that. Be sure there's gonna be lots of knees and hips and maybe jaws. Like they might want to go back in time. And. And what the problem's gonna be is none of your grandpa. They're gonna have to go with some younger. But you know what? We should volunteer. Brett.

[Brett]

What?

[Brady]

You and I should go out there and help these old ladies. Cause their husbands can't help them when Engelbert makes them blow bubbles. We should close a deal on some old brats.

[Brett]

Bring.

[Brady]

This is like rose water and like hazel. Witch. Witch hazel. Like just bubbles floating in the air. Like, I can't tell if that's a good smell or not.

[Brett]

Gay.

[Brady]

Yeah, Ben. Gay and fast. Actin 10 actin. For some reason still on their hands when they were their feet to their bubble machine.

[Brett]

Smells like Werther's Hard Candy rocks.

[Brady]

Oh, don't get him started on that. He's just gonna name candy.

[Larry McFeely]

Might be going.

[Brady]

He's just gonna name candies. Nope, don't do it. Some sort of like, swordfish special at Red Lobster mixed in with some Werther's caramel.

[Unknown]

I don't know what it is either.

[Brady]

But this caramel swordfish, man, they got a health inspect this restaurant. What is this? Caramel swordfish is a great band name called Dirty Dining. Oh, my God. I can picture your album cover too. It's just an old lady at a diner bent over, like, provocatively. But she's 90 and she's just washing one of the dining tables, looking over her shoulder. Caramel swordfish Live at Wegopaw. All right, what do you got over there? First?

[Larry McFeely]

You like some nugget?

[Unknown]

I got nougat. There it is.

[Brett]

Wake up. So I'm.

[Brady]

I want more Engelbert Bubbles. My God. I'm going to that show. We might want to play Lesbian Seagull. Where you going, Grandma?

[Unknown]

Well, we both know because I'm making bubbles. I'm going to Englebert.

[Brady]

And maybe one of you takes Englebert home. My mom would have to go far.

[Larry McFeely]

He's got a sweet setup. Probably at the casino.

[Brady]

Yeah. Was it you that was telling me that. That. Oh, no, it was. Somebody's telling. They got Willie Nelson going to. Was it you and I talking about that? Yeah, and they were. They said that he's going to play out there at the shed. The Talking Stick.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

With Bob Dylan. And he refuses to use a wheelchair to get on stage. And they don't know how they're going to get him out there. Put him on a dolly, can't make the walk. That's what I said. Get him out there like Hannibal Lecter and just kind of dump him up. But evidently Willie is 90. He's going to do it. That's how bad Entertainment is now.89. Yeah, we got 90 year old dudes.

[Brett]

Floating all over holds Frankie Valli. We were talking about that yesterday.

[Brady]

91. He's still touring. Anyway. What do you got on the musicals?

[Brett]

All right. Wake Up Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop. Your one and only stop for all your bike needs. Doesn't matter if it's mountain bike, BMX or just cruising around the streets. They're gonna get you dialed in. You can rent a bike, you can buy a bike, you can get your old bike fixed. Action Ride Shop is the only place to be. Two locations right there on Power Road and McDowell as well as the original right there on south and Gilbert Road. And on the list we have.

[Brady]

A strange gelatinous dome has surrounded Sun City. We can't quite figure out. Oh, Engelbert Humperdinck's in town. The viscous Dome started about 8 this morning.

[Larry McFeely]

It's moving like the blob.

[Brady]

It is now moving very fast towards Weopa. And this strange gooey Kent Pokett can't make holes in it. Dome science is looking into it for some sort of defense thing. Terrifying. Grandma's gonna be wet. Oh, Wet Grandma's a good band name too. Oh, so bad. Be a wet grandma. All right.

[Larry McFeely]

On the list, the pre music before the show.

[Brady]

I only like this because of you like your face. When I said wet Grandma, you pictured the great baboon like Talon off mopping it up.

[Unknown]

Ah, he really put one through me there, Ed.

[Brady]

Thanks Baboo Chick. Who cares? Nope. Ed. The other one. They were having some side action with the other grandparents. It was grandparents. Super swap.

[Unknown]

Papa Ed put one right through me last night.

[Brady]

Oh boy.

[Unknown]

Papal Chick can't do that anymore. He doesn't get hard enough.

[Brady]

Just the middle, not the tip. There she is. Just mopping it up. Sponging off. Papaled.

[Unknown]

Put up some white smoke.

[Brady]

We've got a new pope. Nice job, Papillette Brady's grandparents. And that's why I like doing that. Because your face goes. Because you picture your sweet, sweet old people in your life. Life.

[Larry McFeely]

Chesterfield.

[Brady]

And you hate the.

[Unknown]

That was a dandy. I'm gonna need some sand to fill that hole. I'm like a golf Course.

[Brady]

He took.

[Brett]

Out a chunk in the rough.

[Brady]

Oh, there's a divot. But he doesn't like to think his grandparents ever had Static X. Dirt House. That's right. Which was your nickname for Baboo. The Great Baboo. Grandma Baboo. What do you want to do, Bert? Japanese.

[Brett]

Yeah. Turning Japanese for Daniel Son. Prayer from Disturbed for the new pope, Joe Esposito for, you know, all the Karate Kid talk. Mud vein, Mega Death three doors down for the lead singer. It's not my time. Static X Creed and Megadeth. Foreclosure of a Dream for the wife getting fired.

[Brady]

I learned from the movie Conclave that the black smoke goes. Because they have like those black smoke smoke logs. Like, it's like a coloring thing. And then they put in their votes. If conclave's real. No, no, no. They take the whole pile of votes they've already counted and they stuff it into the fire. And then it goes up, too. So we'll never know what the old votes are. So they take a vote and it's like, nope, didn't get a two thirds majority. They shove that in the fireplace and then put the black coloring, smoke coloring, which I didn't even know was a thing, can make your fire different, your smoke different colors on. And then the black smoke comes out and they're like, we didn't come up with anything. You're like, well, how close was it? No, we can't tell you. I don't know why that's a secret.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, nobody knows. And you know the process individually, they go up there, each one of them.

[Brady]

Put it in, and then say a prayer.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, you gotta sit through 133.

[Brett]

Oh, man, that's worse than the Catholic weddings, stuff like that. It's even longer.

[Brady]

And it's just dudes locked in a room, no thanks to elected dude, gonna do nothing.

[Larry McFeely]

So they actually watched the Conclave, the movie. Yeah. Understand the process.

[Brady]

They. It's not that difficult to understand. I think someone could explain that.

[Larry McFeely]

You know, some of them, you know, a lot of them never done it before.

[Brady]

Right. Neither have I. But if you just basically said, bah, we go in.

[Larry McFeely]

Here's how it is.

[Brady]

You kind of politic a little bit. A few of the guys are running in a weird way. They try to get a group together. They talk into it, and it's basically like a caucus. And then we sit down every day and we vote every four or five hours. And then we let you know, didn't have it. And then we do some more politicking a pizza ball.

[Larry McFeely]

I mean, accidents happen.

[Brady]

Yeah. Pizza ball is in there talking that. That Filipino dudes trying to get people to vote. There's a couple of wild cards, and then they come up like, we didn't get two thirds. And they're like, well, I'm not gonna vote the same way twice because we'll just keep doing the same thing over and over. So they mix it up, the numbers change like crazy. It doesn't seem like you need to watch a tutorial. That's pretty. If you told me right now we're gonna do this in the office, I could figure that out. Our radio games are sometimes harder than conclave. Put your dress on, go sit in this room, and then write on a piece of paper who you. Who you want. It's. It's. I mean, seventh graders do it with, like, student council elections. It's essentially what this is. It's student council. They probably have posters all over the Vatican. They made it on, you know, party City and wrote, pizza balla Free lunch Promise. He gets free pizza balls for everybody.

[Larry McFeely]

Playing with a banner circling the city.

[Brady]

Yeah. I don't know. But yeah, they've got cups and overpasses. Vote Pope, blah, blah, blah. But you have a problem with me. They hang out in high schools. By the way, Philip Calvert has offered up Damp Granny as a better band name, and I do like that. Damp Granny is. How about Granny's Damp Basement? That's pretty good, too. I kind of like that. We'll combo them up.

[Unknown]

I gotta go. Brady, finish your pp. And, Jeff, I'm gonna go mount the maytag. You playing that? Quando Kwondo quando. Ready? Take a sleeping pill. I mean, eat this sandwich. Kind of humid in here. Grandma. Grandma.

[Brady]

Baboo.

[Unknown]

That's right. Hey, look, the neighbor. Bob Ray's naked in the window. I'll be right back.

[Brady]

Back. He's keeping three or four grilled cheeses on the counter. Brady's not going to even look at Grandma. So you can do it on the couch in front of him.

[Unknown]

Don't worry. He's distracted. I got him some grilled cheese at McDonald's. The kid's gone now. What were you saying about being hungry for a damp granny?

[Brett]

Mushrooms growing over.

[Brady]

No long. No longer Baboosh. He's now Damp Granny Bogan. Damp Granny's awesome, Philip. All right, let's play a little Dirt House by Static X. What do you say? That's good stuff. Static X. We'll miss them. Tip of the cap. You always forget he's been gone for a long time now too. Wayne's been dead for coming back too. And they got another yeah, they're then they sound pretty good. That robot they got singing.

[Brett]

They're coming with Mud Vein.

[Brady]

That's a good show.

[Brett]

25Th anniversary.

[Brady]

Well, that's a good show on old no kidding. You might be starting to shoot bubbles up at Static X now, man.

[Unknown]

Oh, I remember when this was relevant.

[Larry McFeely]

They're throwing bras.

[Brady]

There's damp grannies at the at the Mud Vein and Static X show it's gonna be.

[Unknown]

I've got three grandkids.

[Brady]
