---

1. Introduction

In this engaging episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness on Arizona's #1 Morning Radio Show, host John Holmberg along with co-hosts Brady Bogan, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo dive into the excitement surrounding the recent playoff game between the Knicks and the Pacers. The team not only dissects the thrilling game but also addresses a heartfelt listener email from Zach, seeking advice on navigating his feelings for a waitress at his local bar.

---

2. Recapping the Knicks vs. Pacers Playoff Thriller

Brady Bogan kicks off the discussion with palpable enthusiasm about the Knicks vs. Pacers game, highlighting a spectacular performance by Indiana:

Brady (05:45): "That was the best basketball game I've seen in years... 20 points in two minutes by Indiana. It was like a movie... time stood still."

Brady elaborates on a pivotal moment where Tyrese Halliburton made a game-tying shot under immense pressure:

Brady (06:00): "The last shot was like Teen Wolf... his toe was on the three-point line or it would have been a three and they'd have won. It hovered above the rim for about six feet before falling in."

The hosts express their astonishment and excitement, noting how rare such intense games are:

Brady (06:30): "I haven't yelled at a TV over two teams I don't care about in years. It was unreal sports at its best."

They also touch upon the business side of sports broadcasting, discussing the ratings and speculating on potential referee influences in future games:

Brady (07:15): "I assume referees will play a part in this game... they're happy with about 4 million viewers. With New York in the finals on ABC, the audience jumps to 5 million."

---

3. Listener Email: Zach's Dilemma with the Local Waitress

The episode takes a personal turn as Brady introduces an email from listener Zach, who is grappling with his attraction to a waitress at his local bar amidst his recent divorce.

Brady (05:15): "I got this email from Zach. He's recently divorced and thinks the waitress might be into him... But he's conflicted because of John's rule: 'Never eff the help.'"

Zach's Story:

Zach recounts his visits to the bar, highlighting his growing infatuation with a particularly attractive waitress. He's torn between his desire and adherence to the rule advised by John Holmberg.

Zach (11:00): "I'm trying to match up online with girls, but they seem to all be after my money when we go out. So I go to this one bar and hit it off with the server. She's incredibly hot and there's a vibe, but I keep reminding myself of your rule."

---

4. Advice on Interacting with Service Workers

The team delves into Zach's situation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining respect and boundaries when interacting with service workers.

Brady's Guidance:

Brady (17:36): "You have to assume that until she proves different. She's playful with you but also with others; that's her job. Don't be the douchebag like all the other guys."

He shares personal anecdotes to illustrate the dynamics between customers and service staff, highlighting both successful and challenging interactions.

Byron's Experience:

Byron (11:35): "It was the same thing with me. I was eyeing her up, talked to other bartenders about her, but didn't pursue directly until she initiated."

Brady Continues:

Brady (18:02): "If you do it, you're gonna get punched in the nuts... She's working hard and doing her job perfectly."

The hosts collectively reinforce the message that while flirtation can be harmless and part of the service industry, crossing boundaries can lead to uncomfortable situations for both parties.

---

5. Anecdotes and Stories: Navigating Bar Interactions

To further elucidate their advice, the hosts share various stories and experiences related to interactions with bartenders and service workers.

Brady's Story about Chuck Powell:

Brady (15:37): "My friend Chuck Powell once tried to meet a bartender who listened to our show. Initially, she was professional, but Chuck eventually pursued her, leading to a chaotic date involving a stalker and police intervention."

This story serves as a cautionary tale about disregarding boundaries and the potential fallout from such actions.

Discussion on Cart Girls:

The conversation shifts to experiences with cart girls at golf courses, where Brady highlights the selective nature and professional demeanor of these service workers.

Brady (24:18): "Cart girls pick and choose who they like. They don't hold back and are often tired of unsolicited advances."

Brady's Take on Strippers and Service Workers:

He emphasizes that while some service workers may engage in playful interactions, it's essential to recognize their professional roles and not misconstrue friendliness for personal interest.

Brady (22:07): "Don't be the dude that just thinks they're special. They're hearing it not just from you but from everyone else too."

---

6. Maintaining Respect and Understanding Professional Boundaries

Throughout the discussions, a recurring theme is the importance of understanding and respecting the professional boundaries that service workers maintain. The hosts advocate for genuine interactions devoid of ulterior motives.

Brady's Final Thoughts:

Brady (35:30): "Don't be rude by outright asking them out. Let them lead if they're interested. It's all a game, and respecting that game is crucial."

He underscores that the flirting and playful interactions are part of the service workers' jobs, designed to create a pleasant environment for customers, and not necessarily indicators of personal interest.

---

7. Conclusion

The episode wraps up with a unanimous agreement on the significance of respecting service workers' professional boundaries while navigating personal relationships. John Holmberg reaffirms the value of the shared advice, encouraging listeners like Zach to prioritize respect and patience in their pursuits.

John Holmberg (39:51): "Remember, Zach, don't bang the help. Let them make the first move if they're interested."

This thoughtful blend of sports enthusiasm and personal relationship advice makes for a rich and engaging episode, catering to a broad audience while addressing relatable issues with humor and sincerity.

[Brady Bogan]

Still streaming Homburg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Thursday. Kind of the last day of the week. If you're playing Your cards properly, like we are. It's 5. 45. That's the morning sickness. My name's John Holmberg. How are you? There's Brady Bogan. There's Brett Fessley. There's Big Dick Toledo. We're here. It's ready to go. Let's keep it moving. Want to start the whole day off by saying that was the best basketball game I've seen in years and years. I don't know if you guys watched the playoffs last night. Oh, my God. 20 points in two minutes by Indiana. And the last. It was like a movie. It was like Teen Wolf. The last shot to end regulation to tie the game and all. It was like it was a 2 inches of the guy's toe. Tyrese Halliburton's toe was on the three point line or it would have been a three and they'd have won. He hits this thing. It hits the back of the backboard and goes up about 6ft, hovers above the rim and falls down in it. It was. It was like time stood still. I haven't yelled at a TV over two teams I don't care about in years. I was on the back patio watching Scream and I hear people down the street, like everybody that was watching. It was unreal sports at its best. And it still just amped me up. All I wanted to do is just run around and do stuff. I was like a 13 year old kid. I just had to like, I wanted to play. I wanted to. I was adrenalized. Incredible basketball last night. It was. I'm still even thinking about it. It was fun. And then the Indiana went on to win, which I. Never mind New York losing. I don't think New York can lose. I think eventually the referees get involved. There's no way the NBA allows Indiana to play Minnesota or Oklahoma City in the finals. They just can't send the fixes in. Or. I'm saying they. In a way. I almost kind of. It has to be. Right now they're running about 4 million people per for their ratings. Like 4 million for an audience. And they're happy with that? They're happy with it. Like, it's. Well, I mean, it's cable stuff. It's. It's weeknights. You're doing all right. That's pretty good. Like a million on cable or on a. On a secondary channel is. They're fine. Four million is really good. And plus that includes that they've got New York in the finals on. You know, it'll be on ABC and stuff. Like that it's with New York, you're getting a built in 5 million people and then all the rest is gravy. With Indianapolis versus Oklahoma City, there's no, nothing outside of the regions that they play in that anybody's going to care about. You watch a little bit here and there, you might get 3 or 4 million total. It's just better for money and everything else if New York's in it. So I assume quite heavily that referees will play a part in this game. You know, it didn't last night. That was an amazing game. Absolutely amazing. And hockey's been incredible. If you flip over and watch some hockey, the sports right in the Stanley cup finals are always unbelievable when you get to the playoffs and stuff. Oh, my God. But yeah, it's been fun. Sports has been good. It's nice. Nice little distraction while you have nothing going on. That's a lot better than trying to, you know, siphon through 60 different streaming apps to find one thing that you're like, maybe this has legs. And then three episodes in, you're like, now I've got to waste my time for another three hours, see how this garbage ends.

[Byron]

George said, hey, John, don't. Don't forget the Mercury one, too.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, and the Mercury, yeah, they won last night. They beat Los Angeles. Kelsey Plum had 25 points for LA and they still managed to get by him. Why do I know this? I have no idea. I have you fall. No idea. Oh, I hate watch sometimes. But they're not on tv. If they were, I can't find it. I just saw the scroll go by last night and I'm like, Mercury put up 92. That's all right. Good for them. It's a big one. Good on you. And I do it because if I'm going to hate on it, I have to remain educated about it. It's easy to hate something. It's easy to hate something and walk around say, oh, I hate that. But if you hate it and actually pay attention and say, I can talk about it and hate it. I come from a place of educating myself on why this thing sucks. Then you have some merit. It surprises people when I tell them, oh, I watch the games. That's how I know it's bad. I'm not just hating it to hate it. It's bad. I got this email and I wanted to this guy, you know, Brady, I'm in the minds of so many people at all times, 24 hours a day. My words resonate with people. I, I teach, I influence. I'm an influencer, Brett, I think. And this is proof of that.

[Byron]

See that?

[Brady Bogan]

And I kind of like this one. It says holmberg, your rule about never effing the help is ringing in my head, and it's screwing up my life. This is more for Brett. Well, that's true. I hate that it does, because I'm a recently divorced man who doesn't know what he's doing right now. And I don't go to bars to pick up chicks. I'm online. Yeah, I'm trying to match up online with girls, but they seem to all be after my money when we go out. So I go to this one bar to watch NBA playoff games in Tempe, and I hit it off completely with the server. And she's incredibly hot. There's just a vibe there. I'm infatuated with her. But I won't say anything to her about a date because of your stupid rule. Don't bang the help, you said. And I remember being in my car thinking, yeah, it's probably right. And it sticks with me. Is there any exception to this rule? Help me out. I'm dreaming about her at night. She's on my mind constantly, and the flirting is insane. The other night, she says to me, I need to be careful around you. You're dangerous. And I turned into a puddle of man. I'm going again tomorrow, which is tonight and Friday for the games. Fix what you said so I don't think of you when I'm with her. Zach. Well, two things need to happen right now before we discuss this. First off, Zach, she's going to be thinking of me anyway, so you might as well both do it. Second, stop thinking about me so much, you weirdo. You're obsessing over me and some waitress. That's weird. I turned to Brett on this one, whose wife is a. She runs a bar. And my rule of don't bang the help is incredibly real. I start here. Go to Hooters on a day you're not feeling so great about yourself. Little self conscious, maybe a little insecure. Head over to Hooters and you'll leave thinking, I think I'm different than the other guys at Hooters. That one really liked me. It's her job to like you. It's her job to make you feel like you're the only one. There's a line all. All Hooters waitresses use when they go to the table, which is, ugh, so glad you guys came in. You're fun. Today sucks. She immediately says the other People in the bar are awful. You're the light of her day. You're the best thing that's happened to her. And it works every time. Even when you know that's their pattern, Even when you know that's coming, you kind of go, we are better than the other guys here. She's right. And I think she kind of likes me. And then a lot of times, all four guys at the table will discuss how they feel about her, especially if she's really hot. The best one is Brittany over there at that Hooters when she says hello to you at the bar. Hey, you guys came in good. Thank God. Like, oh, yeah. We're pretty popular right now. We're saving her from all these other dregs. And it's true.

[Byron]

Your wife would tell you what, the exact same thing. I'm there to make money.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[Byron]

And, you know, the more you think I like you, the more you pay I'm gonna make.

[Brady Bogan]

I guarantee you this server is gonna, like, she's switching. I'll sit at my table.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

The only time that it can work. My rule is not my look. You can be infatuated strippers, servers, bartenders, whatever. Have fun. Never breach it.

[John Holmberg]

They're at work.

[Brady Bogan]

They're working. They're working very hard. I go on the air every day and pretend to like you guys. Not you guys. I'm talking about the audience every day. But if I met almost all of you, I'd slink up and want to leave. It's true. And you probably with me as well. But it's my job to be, you know, open and fun and goofing around and everything else and just kind of lead this. But I'm not like this all the time. I can't be. I'd be a crazy person. But the only time it works is if the server themselves. It only works with girl servers. And a dude server will bang you. Oh, yeah. And. Yeah. And women don't bang the dude servers most times because they know that the only time it works is if she breaks the rules.

[Byron]

That was what happened with me.

[Brady Bogan]

It is.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Explain.

[Byron]

Well, it was the same thing. I mean, I kind of was eyeing her up and everything else, and I talked to one of the other bartenders and what's the story with her? And he's.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, you were falling for it.

[Byron]

Kind of. But then. But I wasn't. Like, I didn't sit in her section. I didn't go and see her and everything. I just saw that ass walked by. I'm like, all right.

[Brady Bogan]

Tell the truth. You were going there because of her, after.

[Byron]

No, I wasn't, actually. Actually, no, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. No. To be honest, I wasn't.

[Brady Bogan]

Did you ever go alone?

[Byron]

All the time. Because I would get. No, it was the overnight thing. It was the overnight thing. And it was the bar close to the house right after the divorce.

[Brady Bogan]

And she happened to be there. Yeah.

[Byron]

Yep.

[Brady Bogan]

So she's. You're flirting, having your fun, kind of.

[Byron]

I mean, I think, you know, it took a couple months, and then finally the other bartender, like, you know. Well, not the other bartender told me that's complicated with her. I'm like, okay, whatever. Cool. Don't care. You know, whatever. Keep doing what I'm doing. And then eventually, like, she came down and started sitting with me. I just started talking. But I never, like, pursued. I was never in there going, how you doing?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, you didn't.

[Byron]

Came in to see you, you know. Yeah. No, no, it wasn't like that.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[Byron]

I mean, that sounds like this dude's getting worked like a stripper right now. I mean, it's.

[Brady Bogan]

I always assume that, but I think when you tell.

[Larry McFeely]

It's one of these things. You can tell men over and over.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah. But it needs to be.

[Larry McFeely]

There'll be an except. I mean, it's gonna happen.

[Brady Bogan]

There'll be guys who. Who. Yeah. You know, you'll play along and do whatever. There'll be guys that do it and then find out. You get. My friend Chuck Powell did that. There was a bartender at Zips that we. We went there for a little while. We were doing that podcast together way back, and we would go have little writing ideas. Really want to meet at Zips? I'm like, sure, Chuck. And we'd go meet at Zips. And the bartender looked like Megan Fox. And she was fun. And she happened to listen to this show and Chuck Powell show before he was fired for bad ratings. Anyway, I always tease Chuck about that. She said to him. And at first she's like, oh, I know you. You're the guy from the radio. When I said something to Chuck about being on the air that morning, she was good at what she did. She heard me say something. I know. So she comes back next time through. Your voice is familiar. You're on the radio. And immediately I'm like, what? Yeah, yeah. It dawned on me later, we were talking about me being on the radio. So she comes back and says that. And I'm like, yeah. She goes, I listen to you. I'm like, really?

[Brady Bogan]

Guns.Com Homeberg's morning sickness. So happens that she kind of did, but not like religiously. But she knew of the show and my name and all, so she was not messing around. She actually did. So I'm kind of like, wow, that's interesting. The Megan Fox bartender at Zips listens to me in my Head. Because I'm a thinking man. I'm like, why would a girl who looks like that work in a bar on 16th street in Bethany home on like a Wednesday night? Like, I know the money's okay, but she can do anything she wants. And then Chuck said, I'm on the radio too, where I was. And then I'm like, before he was fired for terrible ratings, couldn't touch our show. And he laughs and goes. She goes, you're Chuck. She goes, I used to love your Jerry the dog. And I said, he beamed. He goes to his car and he picks up a Best of Chuck Powell cd. I'm not. Come on. Yeah. And he gives it to her.

[Byron]

Did he autograph it too?

[Brady Bogan]

No, but he said, you're gonna enjoy. He was doing it more just because I had been giving him crap. And like, he had. So she starts laughing and she goes, do you have any presents? And I'm like, no, I know better than to try to the help. You're at work. I said, I. I enjoy it. We'll play. But. And chuckles, oh, come on. I'm like, no. And then chuckles, you're right. Never the help. And then we talked about that. Well, Chuck ended up trying to and succeeding, as far as I remember. Well, I don't know if he ever. But he took her out. And the night he took her out, he had to lay down on the ground on his stomach in her driveway. Cuz her crazy ex boyfriend was stalking them on their date. And helicopters for the police were circling for that guy. He had a restraining order. He didn't know. Chuck didn't know anything about this. The neighbors saw a dude in a bush watching her house when they were in the driveway. And when Chuck got out to go in the house, he ran over. And the neighbors, watching this dude the whole time, ran over to a window. She calls the police. Chuck goes to like, see what's going on. They walk outside, the cops are like, lay down, put Chuck on the ground. What the hell is going on? And then of course, she tells him, it's my ex boyfriend, he's obsessed with me. And then he called me later and goes, you were right. Never the help. Crazy town. Like, yep, but he broke it. If in fact, Mathia went to you and said, and how did it go? And she's like, are you gonna ever ask me out? How did she do it?

[Byron]

We just. Because I would go in there all the time because it was the bar close to my house. It was, you know, the back way there. And it was. I could you know, ride the bike there, as a matter of fact, and she would just hang out. And then finally it was just basically like you said. She's like, we were gonna get out outside of this place.

[Brady Bogan]

And I'm like, if you want, sure, let's go. That is the only way it works. So to you, I forgot his name. Yeah.

[Byron]

It's got to be she's got initiated or forget about it.

[Brady Bogan]

It's.

[Byron]

Otherwise, she can keep stringing you along.

[Brady Bogan]

The name of Zach, and you just keep throwing more and more. Yeah, Zach, it comes back to you. Yes, you're gonna throw money. Yes, you can have fun. But keep it. Keep in mind, she's probably working. She's working hard and working you doing her job perfectly. If you're feeling like she's extra, which is fun. Enjoy it. Flirt with it, play with it. But it is what it is until she says, let's get out of here. Right?

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

All right. So breath.

[Larry McFeely]

And if you really. You got to take a look at, like, if you really like that bar.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, you're gonna wreck that.

[Byron]

Oh, yeah, that's gone.

[Brady Bogan]

You're gonna wreck that. Yeah. So make sure you have a. An ample sized adult penis, because if you break out the Tootsie Roll that P. Diddy has it, it ends up on tmz. And you're going to need a new. You're going to end up at Jupes. You're going to end up at a new bar with male bartenders, and that's where you need to be because you get. You get duped. It's a fact.

[Byron]

And the wedding ring thing doesn't count. They don't wear their wedding rings to work.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, what do you mean?

[Byron]

Like, you know, everybody's. Oh, check the finger for a wedding ring. Oh, yeah, don't wear those to work.

[Brady Bogan]

No, they take them off to let you know. Yeah, they're available. Yeah. Bottom line is she has to do it. They work hard for their money. That Donna Summer told us.

[Byron]

Absolutely.

[Brady Bogan]

And that's part of it. Sorry, Zach, but you have to sit back and wait for her to say, let's go out after this. Let's go do something later. Something like that. Because if you do it, you're gonna get punched in the nuts going, ah, you're gonna get a weird excuse. They're good at that, too. They're good at letting you know. Nah, I really can't. I got something going on. But thanks. Maybe another time. They have to do it. Dude. Dude, bartenders, they'll flirt. They are flirting with you, because they're trying to you. The help is definitely pursuing you. That is their bartenders. But girls, dad. And by the way, don't be the douchebag that's like all the other guys. Cuz she's hearing it, not just from you, your playful flirtation. And maybe it is something, it's not impossible. But there's another dude at the end of the bar. She's telling the same stories too. You just have to assume that until she. Until she proves different. And she's playful with you, but she's also playful with somebody else and playful with another table. That's their job. It's fun. I like the game. I think it's fun. I like when strippers play for. Cause I like playing back. Like if I haven't been to a strip Club in 20 years. But I used to get there and like talk to them about their lives in the strangest ways that I know no one else was doing. Because I wasn't in it for like I didn't feel like I was. Oh, this is, this is a go.

[Larry McFeely]

That's how I became a counselor.

[Brady Bogan]

That's right. And Brady talked one out to where she asked him for a ride home. Brady did it the opposite way. It wasn't very fun your way. You told her she had a drug problem. She needed help. Them.

[Larry McFeely]

Not most of them.

[Brady Bogan]

You know, you're right. All of them actually.

[Larry McFeely]

There's some nightmare lives there.

[Brady Bogan]

All of them if they're resorting to being naked and they're over 19, 20. They're not just out there having fun being stupid. They got a kid. This one that you were talking to when I, I heard you first go.

[H]

We'Ve got a real problem. You need to be my friend. Bill Thrall.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm like, oh my God, he's going to introduce to a pastor what a.

[Byron]

Wet blanket at the bar.

[Brady Bogan]

She's sitting on Brady's lap and I'll never forget in a silver and turquoise thong with a tassely silver and turquoise bra. She's sitting, she sits. Oh, I remember the whole thing because I sat next to it amazed.

[Larry McFeely]

Pick her up in a lineup.

[Brady Bogan]

I could. She had dark hair, one tooth was missing, like kind of over. It was sideways, like she'd been punched. Which I think you found out later she had been. And she started to say stuff to him and Brady's like, this is.

[H]

Why do you do this?

[Brady Bogan]

And I just remember hearing Brady say that to a girl sitting on his lap. And it sparked my attention. Like, oh my God. He's gonna fix her.

[H]

You don't have to do this, you know. There's other ways.

[Brady Bogan]

I need to get out.

[H]

Do you have a drug problem?

[Byron]

What are you Dr. Brady?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. Oh, he was. And by the end of the night, he turns to me and goes, she needs a ride home.

[Byron]

Yeah, that's your fault.

[Brady Bogan]

She know he was gonna take her over to Bill Thrall's house and introduce her to Jesus that night. Ah, Christ, I was pissing myself. Cause this girl was suddenly. She's a barnacle on Bray. Bray's the only one that pulled a stripper out of the club to, like, become a virgin again.

[Larry McFeely]

To the faith.

[Byron]

Born again stripper.

[Brady Bogan]

Born again stripper. And I'll never forget, like, you trying to duck her. You had that avalanche at the time, and I thought you were gonna put her in the back of it for a second.

[H]

Well, she could ride in the back. I don't want the. She already put her crabby herpetic lips on my legs when she sat down.

[Brady Bogan]

So I was dying. So. Yeah, there is that. You can do that. You can solve their problem. But I always ask strippers about, like, terrible things, you know, you always smell like their dad. Yeah, I always. I would like. I'll sit and was, man. Maybe when you're done dancing with me, and I don't mind it, but when you're done dancing with me, go freshen up because it's getting a little thick down there. What are you saying? Like, it's a. It's unpleasant. Oh, my God, you're such an like. I know, but you're the one. Hey, look, I'm saving you time, and you're gonna make money because of me tonight. You got to go wash that thing. It's probably because I caused you to have so many gush moments. Like, it happens.

[Byron]

It happens. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

This one says, I know how a dude can figure it out. Go there tonight and tell her you don't have much for tip money, but you wanted to come and chill out and have a drink or two with her and see how fast that flirting goes away. That's true of all women, though, if you just tell them, hey, by the way, I'm broke tonight. You're not getting much flirting, even from your girlfriend. It's true. Every guy thinks he's special and falls in love. Just like in Coyote Ugly. Yeah. Oh, that's right. Coyote Ugly is a perfect example of this. The chick like the movie. It's all about that green at the end of the day for those ladies, Bob, that's true, Bob, you're right. Can you remind my buddy Dylan that the strippers don't actually love him? They don't really think he's that funny. Now the guy who believes the strippers want him are dangerous.

[Byron]

True.

[Larry McFeely]

There goes the Friday paycheck.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, that's right. And you'll do is a. You just assume and you may be. You know what, there may be an occasion where it's actually a thing. I mean people's, you know, chemistry. You had yours. People's chemistry kind of hits each other sometimes. Like. Well, it's a thing. But assume that when she's on the other side of the bar and you see her laugh, she picked up a line from you. And like, I'm just gonna use that down there. That's gonna get me a couple more bucks.

[Byron]

They're working the fanduel over. Under is not in your favor on this one.

[Brady Bogan]

Not even close. Fantasize.

[Larry McFeely]

Stick to the cart girls at golf course.

[Brady Bogan]

Cart girls are so into you. They pick and choose who they like. They are not. You know what I like sometimes, and this is rare with waitresses at bars, sometimes cart girls at golf courses absolutely hate you. They don't hold back like they are. There are times when I think maybe cart girls are different. They hate you. What happened over there? Computer 1. Yeah, because some of them will pull up and they don't want anything to do with you. They're tired of that. They've been through.

[Larry McFeely]

Why are they doing this job?

[Brady Bogan]

Force them after. Because they're getting. They're getting paid and they're just one after another of bad jokes from mid 40 year old men who just think that they are. Swing her. I've told this, but the greatest cart girl story of all time, of all time, happened at Ken McDonald Golf Course. Was golfing with my dad and his friend and they brought this other dude along. The other dude was a little older than me. I was probably 19, 20 ma's maybe a little older than that. And we're golfing along having fun at Ken McDonald. And the cart girl's on the hole across from us. And the dude in the cart with me says that cart girl's ass, I swear to God, you know, he pulled the I'd eat the corn out of her, you know that kind of cool guy talk where for some reason we high five after he said he would eat her feces. Yeah, I'd eat her feces too. Especially chunk by chunk, like a scientist. Yeah, you should tell her about this. So he says it a Few times he goes, that ass. I want to wear it like a hat. And he keeps saying dumb stuff like that. It's the best ass I've ever seen in my life. This chick, I mean, I wouldn't, I'd spend. Good lord, look at her from a distance. What's that like up close? Like, I don't know. When it gets close, we'll find out because she's coming around the corner a little bit. We'll see. Dude, I'm gonna buy the cart from her. I'm, I am. I guarantee you tonight I'm that chick. On and on he goes non stop, just, just harassment.

Time to talk about TV's Doug Hopkins.

[Brady Bogan]

[John Holmberg]

And that said, if you want to sell your house for cash to Doug.

[Brady Bogan]

As is, he'll make you that offer. Start the process online Doug hopkins.com or listen to the Doug Hopkins Singers. Holmberg's morning sickness. She comes around the corner, gets out of the cart, runs over to my dad's friend Daddy and hugs him. My dad's friend was the cart girl's dad. And he had put for two holes. He'd quietly put up with this jackass talking about eating his daughter's feces. I laughed from the fourth hole to about the 18th hole of my next seven rounds. I couldn't stop. And the dude just telling everyone. Drunk. And he was, by the way, absolutely right. You would have eaten. This girl's right there in front of her dad. She was a piece. She was gorgeous.

[Byron]

So did he ever apologize or did dad say anything or.

[Brady Bogan]

He did apologize afterwards.

[Byron]

Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

I believe it was. Oh, my dad wouldn't. My dad was relentless. Still want to eat her. Like, oh, Dan, don't do it to him. And he's like, I am so sorry. I had no idea. And he's like, I know. I heard you talking about it. We let. My dad and his buddy Ron were letting it go. Like, he's talking about your daughter, you know? Yeah. Well, it's gonna get awkward for him. He played it perfectly. It's about to get really weird. I'd take my pinky finger and my ring finger.

[Byron]

Oh, man.

[Brady Bogan]

And I'd be doing. I'd be rimming that like he was getting it. We're all laughing. Yeah. Well, when she comes around and remember that Ron saying at one of the tee boxes, when she comes around, you should tell her all this. And inside, he had to just be like, oh. Because he knew that when he's not there, and even that day, all the other foursomes are looking at her the same way. She had a pair of shorts on. She was, like, 18, and just. It was stupid. A pair of, like, these little. They were Massimo shorts. I'll never forget. And they were kind of terry cloth. You know that. Weird.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And they. They had this piping on the edge, and she had, like, a little tennis skirt, but it was high on purpose. I think it was lingerie. That's supposed to. It's like a stripper skirt, supposed to expose your butt. But it just looked like a little fringe thing. She knew, and she was.

[Byron]

And he knew, too.

[Brady Bogan]

Dad knew. That's how my daughter makes her money. She's 18. She's having fun. And. And she's responsible. Also, she had a necklace that said, daddy's little girl. And I'll never forget that.

[Larry McFeely]

Classic for the friend because. Yeah, it's always hilarious to see the. The guy not only put his foot in his mouth in front of the dad, but think the guys that talk this mean game, like, how many times have we seen that? Oh, yeah, you get them in front.

[Brady Bogan]

Of the girl, they freeze.

[Larry McFeely]

When we had that dating game with the.

[Brady Bogan]

The porn star. Oh, my God, Brian. Bree, we had the porn star dating game. And this dude's a good looking man.

[Larry McFeely]

I will slay this.

[Brady Bogan]

I am good. I'm gonna have two handfuls of. And one mouth full of like, wow, Brian. And then he gets on the air and he's just like, I'm Brian Brieman. I play. I play golf for. Hi. Oh, yeah. Hi there. Hi.

[Larry McFeely]

There's tough guy.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. Where'd he go? Where's the dude who was gonna eat the corn from your feces? My favorite guy line ever. I'd eat the corn out of her. Oh, yuck. I'm sure that's something you should include in your wedding vows. The special day that you guys walk that aisle. Yeah, it was. It's fun. So, yeah, always remember golf cart girls, strippers, and almost all of them are playing a game. They're at work and they're hard workers and it's a good thing to watch. They work very hard and it's fun to watch people work hard. It's rare. Now, I said it before, there's only like three people in the world I've seen recently that are young that still work hard. I was just with my. My friend's son the other day and I didn't get. I felt bad. He's moving to Houston. He's 20. Let's think of that. 23. Or he's going to Houston. He's got a job in Houston. He's. He busts his balls. I'm like, man, the world's gonna belong to you. Because your entire generation doesn't do anything ever. He's just a hard worker. So anyway, when a server is that way to you, they have to be the ones. Zach, you can't go there tonight and watch Oklahoma City play and assume that it's going to happen. She has to say something. This guy says, oh, you're absolutely right, Ryan. Poor guy is Butters from South Park. When they go to raisins. Watch the south park episode about raisins. It's a kid's version of Hooters. They call it raisins. And the waitresses are all young girls from their class and stuff. And Butters falls in love with the waitress and calls her at work and starts bugging her. And he doesn't understand. Like, he thinks for sure this. She only talks to him that way. Right, that's it. Raising that up. I forgot about that episode's so good. So anyway, Zach, you're. You're thinking of me because you know deep down what I said was right. You cannot the help, but the help can you. I'll add that to it. But they have to be the ones that do it. Unless it's a dude. Dudes will bang you all day long. I wonder what it's like at a dude strip club. Because those strippers are most of those guys.

[Byron]

Twinks.

[Larry McFeely]

Is that even. What, do we even have one?

[Brady Bogan]

Well, yeah. Have you been watching the Diddy Trial? You can hire them out. They're everywhere. They're prostitutes.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, I thought you meant, like, a dude strip club.

[Brady Bogan]

That's what I'm saying. I don't know if they still.

[Byron]

Well, we talked about it, what, a year or two ago with a Dick's Cabaret or something downtown.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, I knew a dude who danced for the local Chippendales when that was a big deal. And all he did was these ladies. That was it. The strippers are. I know they occasionally dabble, but it's usually for the drugs in your pocket. Or they're prostitutes. They're prostitutes. Or she wasn't gonna have sex with you, and you weren't gonna have sex with her. Oh, that talk with her was so uncomfortable. And it was that vibe in the room. There was an intervention going on at our table, and she wouldn't get up and dance for anyone else. And she was pretty. Like, she wasn't gorgeous, but she was like, oh, poor kid. And Brady fixed her. She was only 18, had a heroin issue.

[H]

She's got a heroin problem. She needs.

[Larry McFeely]

She needs the Lord Governor of Arizona.

[Brady Bogan]

That's right. It was about 22 years ago. So it's very possible that that was Katie Hobbs.

[Byron]

When you tell them, I just had.

[H]

This thing and I want to do.

[Brady Bogan]

Heroin and.

[H]

I need help. Well, I'm glad I came tonight. You're gonna meet Billy Thrall after I.

[Larry McFeely]

Go to the buffet.

[Brady Bogan]

And you, did you hit some food? You were the only one that ate.

[Byron]

At the strip club.

[Larry McFeely]

Oh, we had a Super bowl party.

[Brady Bogan]

It was awesome. Yeah, it was the Eagles and Patriots. I think it was 2003. That girl's dead by now. There's no way that was 22 years ago.

[H]

I'm gonna fix your life tonight. But after that prime rib. That's delicious. I gotta get another plate of that.

[Brady Bogan]

Carl says the Best one I've ever heard is I'd suck a fart out of her and hold it like a bong hit. Yeah, chicks love that kind of stuff. That's a good move.

[Byron]

That's what got melted.

[Brady Bogan]

When you're mixing the sand at your wedding, try to have, like, that inscribed on the. On the bottle.

[Byron]

Put that in your vows.

[Brady Bogan]

As a matter of fact, I want to love you, honor you, and make you happy for the rest of your life. And I also want to suck a fart out of you and hold it like a bong hit. You're so hot. You're so through good times and bad times. It has to happen a certain way, otherwise you're just bothering. It's just rude. At a certain point, you're just being rude. You can get along with bartenders, waiters, servers, all that stuff. You can have fun with them and stuff. It's just rude to say, you know, you want to go out with me, because she's got to find a way to turn you down. Then it gets weird. You got to find a new bar, play the game, fantasize, have fun. It's all a game. It's all a game. It's not like you're at Jiffy Lube and the hot chick behind the counter starts making her move. She's into you.

[Byron]

Oh, yeah. But usually she just wants to get the hell out of Jiffy Lube.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, she's trying to. She's a hostage, and she doesn't want to be there anymore. And she sees you as an escape route. You got to go. It's scary, but sorry about that. Zach says one time I was going to lunch with a work buddy, and we're meeting up with his wife, and she was waiting outside the place we were going. And I remember saying, man, there's a bunch of ugly chicks around here today. Turned out she was the one I was looking at. We had to eat lunch with her. And I'm like, how am I supposed to know? I'd never met her before. It was never brought up again. Dale did that at my house once. My dad and that lady he's married to. Who? She's fine. But that's what I have to say because she's not my mom. And then there was a couple, and it was mostly dudes. And Dale comes in, he goes, look at all these ugly. There isn't a good looking woman here. And he's looking at all of us, and she's standing there, and I'm like, well, Dale, I mean, you guys have do you know any women that are decent looking? I'm like, do you see this lady right here is hearing all what you're saying? Oh, I didn't see her. Like, of course you thought it was a bunch of dudes. It's not. You're gross. You're awful. Apologize. He'll come. Oh, apologize to your mom, Johnny. Anyway, well, thank you for that email, Zach. And I'm glad. I'm. I'm glad that I've. I father figured you through your divorce. You're getting divorced, you're going through your thing, and yet as you're flirting away with her, the Holmberg voice is in your head saying, hey, by the way, Zach, don't the hell help. There's ways around it. I will add to it. Don't bang the help, but let the help bang you. And if she bangs you, then you have to also assume she's done this before, too. She's a few customers. She's breaking the rules.

[Larry McFeely]

The other three guys at the bar, they're still.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, the other guys are there. Yeah. If it's not you, it'll be the other ones that are. Yeah. It's a fine line they walk.

[Byron]

Got any scotch?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[Byron]

That guy, I couldn't believe that was.

[Brady Bogan]

A line you got. And he's. He said Scottish, which was even worse. He didn't even say the scotch part, which would have been good because there's drinks there. You got any Scottish in you?

[H]

No, I don't.

[Brady Bogan]

You want some? She likes me, though, bruh. Bruh? Yeah. Yeah. I'm a sucker for watching somebody ambitious or like that. Really like shows like they're busting their ass. I find that to be really, like, appealing. And sometimes servers and bartenders will do that because they have to move so fast like, she's kicking ass. This is good. And then they show, like, they show that they can get all that stuff done. All I think about is, man, my house would be so clean. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 585-9800. A good one and we'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD Wagon, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.
