John Holmberg
The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. I think somebody slipped me some. I think somebody slipped me some weed.
Dick Toledo
Oh definitely.
John Holmberg
I think that question right there has me spinning. Before that start the Whole show with. Could you win the Masters? Just putting. That's been on my brain. That's a little bit of a high conversation. And one. I just was reading this.
Dick Toledo
That residual effect of whatever you've been doing, isn't that what pot guys get? They get a residual.
John Holmberg
What have I been doing?
Dick Toledo
I don't know. You just said you're high. Maybe you.
John Holmberg
No, I think I don't. Look. It's a granola bars and coke zero. Maybe the combination is some sort of thc. All I said was Brady brought up bees earlier. Do you think bees are aware that they only get one sting?
Dick Toledo
So he's mad. Ah, damn it. We had a waste on this guy.
John Holmberg
Tripp just goes, you're a disaster. And he left the room. Do you think they know he said no? I think because we'd have to admit that they're self aware. Nope. And then he sat down because he doesn't want to think that bees can think because then they could take a job of a radio executive pretty easily. Thank you very much. Only bees ran the show. So much more efficient. But when they. When they. Oh, if we ran. If bees ran the colony here.
Dick Toledo
Oh my God.
John Holmberg
Not a single second. When. When b. Jenny came down the owner. We have to go with more money and less of this and yes, queen. And it would be done. It would be done. But then they would have to not. Then they would just willy nilly be a bunch of bees just dying because it would be cavalier about the sting. And if you have a bee land on you, you got to think of the bees perspective of looking at you going, what the is that thing?
Dick Toledo
Oh, it's like your tactical black training.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Are we. Are we doing this?
John Holmberg
But you don't land on the bad guy. Look, I'm telling you right now, if a dude was 96 times bigger than me, I'm not standing on his arm without stinging them. The only defense I've got all the time. That's what I'm saying.
Sean Knight
Rescue.
John Holmberg
Yes. You're making my point. They don't sting you.
Sean Knight
Yeah, but think of it.
John Holmberg
But Brady, listen. Think from here.
Sean Knight
It's not a threat.
John Holmberg
You don't know that. You don't know. The bee doesn't know that. He's.
Dick Toledo
Maybe the bee didn't. Didn't go. Is this guy that dunked me?
John Holmberg
Yeah. He's currently waterlogged. We're taking him out of the pool. Second you're making my point for me.
Sean Knight
Anything 90 know that I'm saving them. Then why wouldn't they know anything 90.
John Holmberg
Times larger than me, at least, is taking a punch from me the second it touches me.
Dick Toledo
Look at fire ants. All they do is bite.
John Holmberg
Look at Chihuahuas.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, that true.
John Holmberg
They just start shaking the second something bigger comes along. A bee's looking at us like, jesus, those lumbering giants are everywhere. But don't sting them. You only get one texter.
Dick Toledo
Buzz, buzz, mother.
John Holmberg
Buzz, buzz, mother. I think we had that as a character for a while there. Buzz, buzz, mother. I think that was my Africanized beast, which is why I don't want the archives to play ever.
Dick Toledo
Oh, that one won't see the light of day.
John Holmberg
That is Africanized bees coming up from Mexico.
Dick Toledo
Anyway, I put an attachment on some of those things in the vault that says you have to sign this NDA.
John Holmberg
Give it or pay for it. Here's the other thing. And I'm not saying that because we would have to say they're self aware. I'm not saying they're self aware the way humans are, but I wonder if it's innate in a B to know you only get one.
Sean Knight
Yeah, because the point you're saying it has to decipher, it has the ability.
John Holmberg
Has to make cipher.
Sean Knight
That this is a threat.
John Holmberg
Yes. So then it has the power of thought to say, yeah, break out the only weapon I've got.
Sean Knight
Again, my solving to the. Their stingers are barbed. They could just smooth them out.
John Holmberg
Yeah. If they could have another bead like a needle.
Dick Toledo
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
Byron
Yeah.
John Holmberg
It wouldn't rip out of him.
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah. Okay.
John Holmberg
The most insane part of this conversation is we learned that Sean Knight is not big into pot, and yet he dresses like he owns a chiba hut.
Byron
Can somebody slip me some weed? This conversation.
John Holmberg
All right, Shut up, Brett. That Sean Knight.
Dick Toledo
No, Patience.
John Holmberg
Dresses like Sean Knight's been kicked out of chiba huts because it's like. Come on, man, you're overdoing it. It's not a costume.
Sean Knight
You guys got me bourbon?
John Holmberg
It's not a costume. It's a lifestyle.
Dick Toledo
No, dude, turn around a little too far, pal. We didn't make enough today.
John Holmberg
I'm sorry our conversation got a little too heady for you.
Byron
Too weedy.
John Holmberg
It is a little weedy.
Dick Toledo
Oh, it's a lot weedy. It was all weedy.
John Holmberg
But I'm telling you right now, total.
Sean Knight
Jay Cutler on this.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, but you know what? Every. He'll be a little drunk, and he'll turn. Hey, Matthias, do you think. Peace. No, he's gonna. It's coming back up. Yes, it is. You're gonna drink your mallard. This one's for that.
Dick Toledo
You know what I've been thinking about?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Hey, my dad. Prayers.
Byron
No.
John Holmberg
That'S an easy one. That was the first.
Dick Toledo
I haven't heard that one yet.
John Holmberg
Prayers. Hey, this one. Hey, Malia, do you ever think maybe bees don't know the bees are thinking. I only got this one shot. It's like Eminem. You only get one shot. Do not miss the chance and blow to bees.
Dick Toledo
Jeez. You're an idiot.
John Holmberg
You're an idiot. Oh, you know who says you're an idiot to that?
Dick Toledo
People with closed minds.
John Holmberg
Close minded dummy. Someone that's not willing to open their mind like Sean Knight. He's just not.
Dick Toledo
Whoa.
John Holmberg
He just.
Dick Toledo
That's too much credit for him.
John Holmberg
No, it isn't. Look at him. You have to have an open mind to dress like that. He knows Kohl's. He knows Kohl's is open and affordable, and yet he avoids it like the plague.
Dick Toledo
No, I'll choose Goodwill.
John Holmberg
I'll take something else. What do you got in your closet or garage? We're not making funny how you dress, Sean. We're just making fun of the clothes you're wearing.
Dick Toledo
We're making observations.
John Holmberg
It's time for the hot releases. Welcome. Sean's only here once, everyone. Like two months. You take a beating the second he walks in the door, I am shocked. You're not a weedy though. I'd lose that battle all day. If I saw your mug shot, I'd be like, that dude was stoned out of his mind. You don't do it at all. Not really. Means you do. Really?
Byron
In the last 10 minutes.
John Holmberg
Huh?
Dick Toledo
I've tried the seltzers.
John Holmberg
You sold it before? Is that what you just said?
Byron

Dick Toledo
All right, John, from today's discussion, this one's for you. Murderbot coming out on Apple tv.
John Holmberg
They're telling us it's a SEC unit. I was built to protect and obey humans, and humans are idiots. But now that I've hacked my programming, I can do whatever I want as long as they don't find out. Once they learn to lie, they'll learn to kill. Somebody says wow. John the Bee conversation simultaneously flaming out and lighting up at the same time. That's right.

Sean Knight
Oh, yeah.
Dick Toledo
On. By just eating nothing but liver.
John Holmberg
And now he's eating nothing but.
Sean Knight
And he was saying it was all natural and he got busted for.
John Holmberg
I. I now know why I read an article about him the other day is because there they said now all he does is eat testicles with that girl. I just. She was on there too. All right. It's guaranteed as quick as you are to do a story about Uranus, he's as fast to do DE's nuts. If you use the word test second. How come nobody's opened a. Like a testicle restaurant called D Nuts?
Byron
Yeah. Who want them?
John Holmberg
People eat them like crazy. Like, I've had turkey balls. If you had a. If they're available, people order them. You especially Novelty boy, I guarantee you.
Sean Knight
Festival up there in brass.
John Holmberg
I rest my taste.
Dick Toledo
Rocky Mountain Testicle Festivals in Montana.
Byron
Well, that's fitting.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they have. But they have them all over Denver has. They have Rocky. They eat the balls like crazy. I had turkey balls once, and they were like Popcorn shrimp. Bigger.
Byron
Those things?
John Holmberg
Not very. They're like little popcorn shrimp just grabbing like a handful.
Byron
Like M&MS. Or something or whatever.
John Holmberg
At first, because I didn't know it was turkey nuts. And then somebody told me, a little apprehensive. What do you mean, turkey nuts? Like you're eating turkey balls. And then I ate them one at a time for the flavor, and I realized this doesn't taste like shrimp.
Dick Toledo
All right, last one I got because Brett's got to get going is the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Season two is out.
John Holmberg
Okay.

You're opening up yourself and your family to all kinds of drama.
Byron
Can I have a hug?
John Holmberg
You can have a handshake. Where is everyone? Yeah, that's what a Mormon handshake is. I'm trying to protect mom talk.

Dick Toledo
Oh, they are?
Byron

John Holmberg

Byron
It's like the Temptations. I got multiple league singers.
John Holmberg
Nothing at all like the Temptations. Couldn't be less like the Temptation. I mean literally, it's apples. Apples and ice cream.
Byron
I don't want to hear it.
John Holmberg
It's bees and elephants. It's not even close to the same.
Byron
So I know Toledo's in a hurry, so we'll skip Pretty good. Morgan Wallen's got a new one out. I won't make you.
