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? No, Larry, if you have an extended service contract, you can use it at any amco. It's nice to have other options. I'll say Amco has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles and faster service. Amco does more than just transmissions, right? Right. If you need car repairs or hear, feel, see, smell, or even think you have a car issue, call Amco first. Just Google Amco for your nearest loc. That's Amco Double A, MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.

John Holmberg
But it's got a cabana boy over.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, yeah. You'll see the thing. He's in a commercial for him and it's pretty great. And the shades look amazing. And the back patio looks very comfortable. You can have that exact same thing Brady's got going on his backyard and, you know, drop temperatures right around your back patio by 20 degrees as the temperatures start to climb up closer and 107 on Friday. So we're creeping up into the 1/10 again. They're going to want that shade. So I have to do is go toAllPro shade dot com, get it all figured out. Brady reporting.
Brady
Good Wednesday morning to you, Phoenix.
Wayne
Hello, world.
Brett Vesley
Hi.
Brady
Happy National Burger Day.
Brett Vesley
Sounds good.
John Holmberg
I'm going to celebrate.
Brady
This is interesting. They claim chicken burgers are now the most popular type of burger in the U.S.
Brett Vesley
No, they're not. You can't call it a chicken. Maybe a chicken sandwich, but it's not a chicken.
Brady
Yeah, because that can't be. But the chicken sandwich definitely stepped up when a couple years ago, Popeye started stepping into that thing. Crazy.
John Holmberg
Still not a burger.
Brett Vesley
It's not a burger. Yeah, it's a chicken sandwich.
Brady
I don't know why they're even throwing in there, but they're. They.
John Holmberg
What neighborhood are they in?
Brett Vesley
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree with Brett on that one. That's cultural.
John Holmberg
It's in the Roosevelt district.
Brett Vesley
You would never go. Yeah. Even if you're down in there. Yeah, I agree with him. You would never go to veggie burgers.
John Holmberg
Oh, that too.
Brett Vesley
Okay, well, that's definitely.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's Roosevelt.
Brett Vesley
You never go to McDonald's. Maybe Brady would, because he orders off menu. You never go and go, why don't you hand me a burger there, chief? And then when you get it, you're.
Wayne
Like, what's this beef? Where's the chicken?
Brett Vesley
It's like, that's not a burger. Now you go back there, you got cheese, you got bread, you got butter.
Wayne
You can make a guy grilled cheese lickety split. Let's get on that toot.
Brett Vesley
Sweet.
Brady
Chief, Wendy's has rolled out a new burger, and it's in Canada right now. It'll be coming here soon. Are you riffing the cheeseburger Hamburger?
Brett Vesley
This is coming at us. You're not reading this.
Brady
Wow.
Brett Vesley
This is. Are you reading it?
Brady
No.
Brett Vesley
You're just bringing the topic.
Brady
I saw it this morning. It's with your. Just roll it out.
Brett Vesley
Things coming down the food pipeline.
Brady
The national burger.
Larry McFeely
What a newsletter.
Brett Vesley
When can we expect this treasure?
Brady
Don't know. But it's basically two little. Not little. Two grilled cheese with a burger in the center with the grilled onions. So the point is at Wendy's.
Brett Vesley
Yep.
Larry McFeely
It's not the same. Doesn't have the same nostalgia.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
He's an eating machine. Yeah, the. Yeah. Okay. Have you ever ordered a grilled cheese at Wendy's?
Brady
No. Now I can.
Brett Vesley
Now you can. You always go to lunch today I'm gonna do this. So you only did that garbage at McDonald's when you were a kid where he went off menu?
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
Only McDonald's. Why? Why not Burger King or any of the others?
Brady
We didn't go to Burger King.
Brett Vesley
Oh, for the poor.
Brady
We'd go to Wendy's, but I never did at Wendy's. But we didn't go too often to.
Larry McFeely
When no Burger King in Upper Arlington.
Brett Vesley
I like Burger King was fine. Why did you guys not. There's.
Brady
There was a Wendy's that was allowed.
Brett Vesley
Well, that's a whole Hillsdale or whatever.
Brady
Thomas has lived there.
Brett Vesley
Okay. Oh, that's right. Because the Wendy's people lived in Hillsdale.
Larry McFeely
Is the dirty part of what's the Arlington.
Brett Vesley
What is it?
Brady
Hilliards.
Brett Vesley
That's right. They're the ones that look down on Upper Arlington who call Scioto River Scioto and Somehow or another the Hilliards is the hillbillies.
Wayne
Into Sciota.
Brett Vesley
You guys are hillbillies. It's Scioto. There's no on it border checkpoint there or something. You know, like if you go out there, you know when you're.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
You know when you're in Brady's neighborhood and when you're in Buster Douglas's neighborhood, which is the rest of Columbus. It's true.
Brady
The country of lichtenstein has won 10 Olympic medals and all of them alpine ski game.
Brett Vesley
That's all they do, John.
Larry McFeely
I for one. And for more Brady freestyle food.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, I like that too. It was like little Dicky just started rapping. He knew he had a level of expertise and he just how clear it was sentences that had, you know, predicates and subjects and all the everything. They got a food test coming out of Wendy's in Canada. Like he knows the source, he's researched it. Why is it only in Canada?
Brady
That's where they're trying it out.
Brett Vesley
Evidently giving it a run there first because they thought maybe America wasn't ready for two grilled cheese and burger. Pretty sure where their test market. That sounds like a knockout punch. Most of fat America is like, man, if only my bread was actual sandwiches too. Like I hate that they're just pieces of bread. They should be a functional sandwich and then a sandwich in between two functional sandwiches. And we'll call it one thing so we don't feel like pigs.
Brady
The day that Michael Jackson caught on fire while he was filming the Pepsi commercial was literally the halfway point of his life. It happened 9,282 days after he was born and he died 9,281 days after it happened.
Brett Vesley
I wonder if that's true of all humans. At the halfway point you burn up. No, you have a life altering event and then exactly halfway out. I wonder if that surgery for you fingers, that hip surgery was 48. I don't want to be 90. No, I'm not doing that. But I wonder, I wonder if that's like a little accidental matrix key lock that we just found through Michael Jackson's hair. My hair ran off the stage.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, you'd want it. I'd want it to be something in my 30s.
Brett Vesley
Well, I don't care when it happens. I wonder if it does. I wonder if there's like a life altering thing that happens. You're like, oh my God, I almost died.
Larry McFeely
You said you don't want to be 90, so.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, but ideally for you, hopefully it's already occurred. Yeah, I don't think my halfway. I think it's happened. I just, I'd have to figure out what it is, like what's my halfway point? But I'd have to, because then I can map out, like, what's the most traumatic almost death experience that you've had and then map out the exact time it took to get to that. And that's how much time you have.
Larry McFeely
Left you hanging on for your roof.
Brett Vesley
What were you?
Larry McFeely
How old were you?
Brett Vesley
I wasn't even close to dying. That was so acrobatic and so incredibly athletic. Falling off the roof.
Larry McFeely
Roof, man.
Brett Vesley
And catching yourself landing it.

Brett Vesley
I wasn't that. I do that one.
John Holmberg
Brad.
Brady
You could almost base that on. I mean, if. If you had near death experiences, then there could be three or four. That could be.
Brett Vesley
But like.
Brady
But what if it happened at 25?
Larry McFeely
Right.
Brady
I mean, 50 or.
Brett Vesley
Right. But that Michael Jackson lighting on fire thing was like, whoa, he's almost dead. Yeah, I was. It's George Bush's fault. I fell off my roof. But because he was staying at the Royal Palm and I lived close to that and there was a helicopter that was either security or something else that had the United. It wasn't Air Force One, but it was a helicopter that had, like, important writing on it. And it went over my house. It couldn't have been more than 50 to 100ft above my house. It was so low. And I was on the roof.
Larry McFeely
Why again?
Brett Vesley
I don't remember. Might have been crazy. I was gonna say, okay, fun. Don't know. Playing. Could be playing.
John Holmberg
Here we go again.
Brett Vesley
And they've just been playing and I'm on the roof and the helicopter went over and I did the, you know, look up and watch it and then. But you're on a sloped roof. No breath.
Brady
Oh, my God. How about pitch or anything? Unbelievable.
Brett Vesley
God, you're an impossible human being. He went like. He was holding it back. Idiot. So, yeah, I looked up at the helicopter going over and then kind of got vertigo for a second because I'm on that.
John Holmberg
Oh, man.
Brett Vesley
And I fell down and started to roll roof. And I'm like, this is it. I'm gonna die. And I did a tumble and I did like a turn in the air and grabbed the edge of the roof, dropped down onto the ground on my feet, landed it nice. It almost came out. Yeah, I totally struggled it. I put my arms up afterwards. Yeah, a little Romanian look. I believe this has happened. Dr. Nassar fingered me for a half an hour. The best I've ever seen. Kid, you're the best I've ever seen.
Larry McFeely
People have their guesses as to your moment.
Brett Vesley
There's a lot of them.
Larry McFeely
The bunny on the. On the bike trail.
Brett Vesley
That was really scary. Yeah. I almost died because that rabbit ran in front of me. And I screamed bunny, which I thought were going to be my last words. That happened 12 years ago. That's. That. That adds up.
Brady
That was twice. And then there was a raccoon. That was.
Brett Vesley
That raccoon was somebody. 2005.
Larry McFeely
That's no cat.
Brett Vesley
That's no cat. Was the raccoon that nearly. But that Just gave me hemorrhoids. I fell on a rock. Good Christ tailed himself on a rock. Oh, I fell down because a wreck. Brett, you needed to be here for all this. I was walking home very late at night, jogging, and a cat was following me. And it got in front of me and stood up about from me to you. And I realized it was some gigantic raccoon. And I screamed at the top of my lungs, that's no cat. And I started to run and I hit a tree branch with my head and fell back onto a rock. And the rock center punched my ass. And I ran. Yeah, I ran home. And I woke up. And when I woke up, I reached into my pants and they were soaked with blood.
Brady
Oh.
Brett Vesley
And I had bubbles. It looked like my ass was trying to blow. Like a Hubba Bubba man lived in my ass.
Larry McFeely
Another one says, maybe it was when you had the intimate moment with the dolphin in Hawaii.
Brett Vesley
You guys remember my life better than it. No, that wasn't scary. That was just me and the dolphin eyeballed. Eyeball. That could have been. That was kind of a life changing experience. That was when I had decided right then and there, what if ours was.
Brady
The same divorce, the 360 and the Golf cart, the life.
Brett Vesley
That was very scary. But I don't know if that was a life altering golf cart spin. I don't know. I got in that T boned car accident. Yeah, it was 2016. So that was.
Larry McFeely
He got out and yelled at the kid.
Brett Vesley
I was just screaming the F word.
Brady
Larry's garage.
Brett Vesley
That is a big one.
Larry McFeely
Oh, in the hospital.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, Larry smoked.
Larry McFeely
He's trying to kill me.
Brett Vesley
Tried to kill me. So all that would have been somewhere around 2005, when I was about 32. Does that make sense? So then I have exactly that 64. That makes about. That's about where I want. Yeah, that makes it. That's about where I want to live.
Larry McFeely
All right, Good run.
Brett Vesley
That's pretty good. I Hope then that 2003, 4, 5 is when it happened. The dolphin was 2005.
Brady
Brett, how old were you in the car accident?
Brett Vesley
Yeah, that's yours. You almost died that day.
John Holmberg
98 or 99.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, some 26 years ago.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
So you're there almost.
Brett Vesley
Oh, geez. You're not gonna make it much longer if that's true.
John Holmberg
Peace out.
Brett Vesley
Okay, then we can start talking about sloped roofs like adults. I'm surprised I said the word raccoon and sloped roof and the same thing. And I'm sure he just has a totally different Take on what I was talking about.
Brady
There are only two documented cases in history of coyotes killing humans. One was in 1981, a three year old girl. And the other was 2009. 19 year old woman.
Brett Vesley
In Canada, a 19 year old woman was eaten by a coyote. Was she in a wheelchair? Coyotes, like loads of them.
Brady
Yeah, there was four or five.
Brett Vesley
What was she doing wrong?
Brady
Yeah, I don't. I don't have the. I couldn't find the full story.
Brett Vesley
That's her fault. Maybe she was searching out that burger you were talking about.
Brady
And the three year old up in Canada.
Brett Vesley
Three olds just leaving meat out for the coyotes. That makes sense. A coyote would eat a. An unattended 3 year old, but a 19 year old. You can't give me a word. Oh, geez.
Larry McFeely
Okay, people are bitching already.
Brady
Hemorrhoid.
Brett Vesley
No. Okay, you have to be able to say it. You smoke yourself loped?
John Holmberg
No.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, that's it.
Brady
That's it.
Larry McFeely
Oh.
Brett Vesley
Sloped is today's word. So we can. Goddamn adults again. Because we get used to saying it the proper way instead of the way he thinks about it. Idiot. Text. Sloped to nine, seven. Shut up. Nine, seven, nine, three, six. Why does he do it? It's a roof.
Wayne
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
He just hate. He can't. He's not grown up. 9, 7, 9, 3, 6.
Brady
They need that laugh for Brett. For the live studio audience. Yeah, that lasts out.
Brett Vesley
Yeah. Yeah, it's terrible. But it's easy to do. Sloped is today's word. 9, 7, 9, 3, 6. That's the one. So Brett can hear it a few more times. And grow. Brett.
Larry McFeely
Repeated every time.
Brady
No.
Larry McFeely
Until 9.
Brady
15.
Brett Vesley
What's the word, Brett, what is it?
Brady
Sloped.
Brett Vesley
Thinks he's getting away with something. It's the roof I was on.
John Holmberg
That's what I heard.
Brett Vesley
Yep. All right. Nine, seven, nine, three, six. That's the thing. Good luck on the man cave upgrade.
Brady
Consumer Reports posted a list of the most dangerous foods that might be sitting in your fridge right now.
Brett Vesley
Mayonnaise, double grilled cheeseburger.
Brady
It's number one.
Brett Vesley
Two grilled cheeses with a burger patty in between them.
Brady
Deli meats, number one. 87 hospitalizations last year and 10 deaths. Cucumbers number two.
Brett Vesley
What?
Brady
No deaths, but 173.
Brett Vesley
Anal fissures. People hospitalized from cucumbers, not from eating them.
Brady
Yeah, well, from eating the cucumbers.
Wayne
Yeah, you tell them, Brady. It's a vegetable. Of course. It'll kill you. It's in your. What the hell's that doing in your Fridge next to delicious foods, Brady. I was just floating around up in Canada. Double grilled cheeseburgers. Oh, my God. Waited till they get so good.
Brady
Ralphie.
Wayne
I can't believe how. Oh, get in my belly. Couldn't believe it, Brady. And then you go off saying what's dangerous inside your fridge? Cottage cheese.
Brady
We never have danger. No, it only adds to the fridge.
Wayne
That lettuce, all that stuff. It's dangerous to have in your fridge. Some sort of weird hippie health nut. Tell them, Brady.
Brett Vesley
What else?
Brady
Queso fresco and Cohita cheese. Two deaths, 23 hospitalized. Raw milk. Raw cheese.
Wayne
Raw milk.
John Holmberg
What do you mean? Raw milk?
Wayne
Right out of the tea.
Larry McFeely
Yes, yes.
Wayne
That's real.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, they sell it at Sprouts.
John Holmberg
How long does that last?
Brady
They landed 34 people in the hospital.
Larry McFeely
I think you're spinning the wheel. Every time you take a drink of.
Wayne
That stuff, you suck it right out of the tap, I think.
Brett Vesley
So.
Wayne
How thirsty are you for milk?
Brett Vesley
Pretty thirsty.
Larry McFeely
Or you have an oral.
Wayne
Have it like now. You can't pasteurize that. It's got to come right out the teeth.
Brady
Onions. One death. 34 hospitalizations. Leafy greens. One death.
Wayne
Kill everybody, people. Worst thing in the world.
Brady
Organic carrots. Leafy ones on your burger.
Wayne
You know what's not on his list? Chips ahoy, you health nuts.
Brett Vesley
Fact.
Brady
Pre cooked meat includes things like pre made salads and frozen burritos.
Wayne
Salads.
Brady
They tossed it on the list because stuff like that gets recalled a lot.
Wayne
That's right. Salads on that list like six times. Tell me what's healthy. That al will kill you. Salads. Good job, Brady. I'm going back to Canada for that Brady burger. I call it get after it. Remember when they just used to have buns? We were wasting a lot of time not making those buns full. Sandwiches. Put a sandwich on another sandwich and put a sandwich in between it.
Larry McFeely
So you're economizing.
Wayne
Someone give me a towel. I got to wipe my mouth and my Jennies.
Brady
There's a guy from Oregon.
Wayne
I gotta go.
Brady
See you, Ralphie.
Wayne

Brady
Sickness this dude from Oregon named Oliver Widger, he suddenly is a huge fan, Has a bunch of people following him online because he quit his job to sail around the world with his cat. I heard about this happening.
Brett Vesley
The cat's name is Phoenix. Yeah, I saw this, too.
Brady
He got diagnosed with a rare bone disorder that could eventually cause paralysis. The cat, Oliver did, not the cat. And that's why he quit his job. It's called clipple feel syndrome.
Brett Vesley
I don't think so.
Larry McFeely
So close.
Brett Vesley
I think they have actual words for it.
Brady
So he cashed in his 401k, decided to see the world he bought. He brought his cat with him. Phoenix. And then he learned to sail on the fly on YouTube and watching videos. So he bought a ship, spent about a month learning his sailing techniques.
Brett Vesley
How much was in his 401k?
Brady
Enough to buy a boat.
Brett Vesley
Okay, but here's a question about that. Can, if you're terminal, can you cash out of your 401k early?
Brady
Yeah. No, you don't get that, right?
Brett Vesley
You'll still get well. That's what I'm saying. You get the tax. You're getting hit with the penalty of early withdrawal if you're terminally ill. Couldn't you talk to fidelity or somebody go.
Brady
Hey, look, I don't think it matters.
Brett Vesley
I'm not getting to 60.
John Holmberg
Can't you take a loan out on your 401k? Maybe that's what he did.
Brett Vesley
Ah, but there's a matter when he pays, you know?
Brady
Yeah, but you. Yeah, take the loan out. What's he.
John Holmberg
Who's right? Who's gonna pay it back.
Brett Vesley
But if I had a 401k now, and they told me, hey, you got two years to live. I still pay the penalty.
Brady
It doesn't even say that. It's like, you know, eventually, I guess he'll just have paralysis. He won't die, but it'll be.
Brett Vesley
Yeah. I thought you said it was terminal illness.
Larry McFeely
That's what I thought.
Brady
Diagnosed with a rare.
Larry McFeely
Mostly terminal.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, it didn't say. You didn't say terminal in the beginning. Okay.
Brady
So anyway, he. It's already in the water, and now you can follow him online. A bunch of people are. He posts a little video of his. It says a rare bone disorder.
Brett Vesley
Yeah.
Brady
But that could eventually cause. Cause paralysis.
Brett Vesley
But he could. He. So he quit his job and he's just gonna waste all his money and.
Brady
Yeah, before. Before I lose motion, I'm gonna do this.
Brett Vesley
Then he's gonna kill himself.
Brady
Right? Well, it happened during the sale trip. And because it's just he and the cat.
Larry McFeely
Gotta be honest, that's the way I go.
Brett Vesley
Okay, well, it doesn't sound bad, except for I'm gonna spend all my money. And then their curate.
Larry McFeely
That's. Yeah.
Brett Vesley
Okay.
John Holmberg
I let Captain Steuben go down with.
Brett Vesley
The ship, but what about Phoenix? The cat didn't sign up for this. Cats hate water. Last thing that thing wants to do is go sailing.
Brady
Evidently, one of those Elf, the cosmetic brand Elf, sent a plane out and dropped him a care package in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Then a huge crowd greeted him when he landed in Hawaii over the weekend.
Brett Vesley
A company shot a plane out to find him and gave him stuff.
Larry McFeely
Hey, we can drop from Tolleson. We can do that over the ocean, right?
Brett Vesley
No, the ocean is huge, moron. Yes. I can go from Phoenix with a drone. I can't.
Brady
This was one of those. Yeah. Rescue planes.
Brett Vesley
And they just dumped some supplies on them.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
In the middle of the ocean. That's pretty amazing. ELF Cosmetics did this?
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
What did they give him? Blush, maybe. Huh.
Brady
He might head to French Polynesia next week. He's not sure. He says he's learned how to sail from watching YouTube videos. I.
Brett Vesley
Huh. How long does he have until he's paralyzed?
Brady
Didn't say. He didn't even say it on his little video. He just basically gave a rundown of what he's doing. And if you want to follow me.
Brett Vesley
Crazy. Kind of.
Larry McFeely
By that logic, shouldn't Billy Joel just go out and do all his concerts?
Brett Vesley
He's gonna get better.
Larry McFeely
Oh, yes.
Brett Vesley
It's basically he's got encephalitis only it's really bad. He's got a brain.
Larry McFeely
He just shrink that.
Brett Vesley
Right. Eventually it's just. I think it just kind of goes away. I think you got to get treated for it. But according to Take them some time.
Brady
A new report. The average American only feels fully healthy 19 days in a typical month. It's roughly 63% of the time. People are asked what health issues they battle most frequently.
Larry McFeely
Knees for John.
Brady
Allergies was a big one. People struggle with it. About 13 days per month. Mood changes, 10 days per month.
Larry McFeely
Not sick.
Brady
Digestive issues. 9.8.
Brett Vesley
It's all broad problems.
Brady
Headaches, 7 1/2 days. See month.
Larry McFeely
See.
Brett Vesley
Called it headaches. Bloating. Just bloating on there.
Brady
That's digestive issues.
Brett Vesley
There you go.
Brady
See, that's almost 10 days a month.
Brett Vesley
Dudes never complain about bloating. That's a woman complaint. I've never once I've been in a room with you guys. There's always been at least four dudes in this room, and never once is when he go, I'm so bloated. I'm bloating. I'm having a bloating issue. I don't think I can go bloated.
Brady
10. Only 10 days a month.
Brett Vesley
I think Brady's been bloated since I've known him. I've never heard him once say that.
John Holmberg
He felt like he's like McConaughey. Those are rookie numbers. Gotta bring those up, right?
Brett Vesley
I'm bloated today. No, you're bloated every day and you're living with it. You're fine.
Brady
This dude that lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, named Kevin Cox was arrested after he painted his own crosswalk on a busy street. Fortunately for him, the city came along and he's in trouble. He could even spend a year in prison. Pays fine for painting your own crosswalks. He did it in shock, so he might be able to get off this deal because it was permanent. You said he did it.
Larry McFeely
I thought he said it in shock.
Brady
Believe I did this. And the reason why he did is the street that he lives on, so busy and he has a. One of the residents is in a wheelchair. It's tough for him to cross the road. He put those. The crosswalks in there, and that helped him out a lot.
Brett Vesley
That's nice.
Brady
So he's also trying to send a message to the city.
Brett Vesley
Right? We need these. Maybe do this. By the way, Brady, people are thinking that your trip on Costa Concordia might be your halfway point. That was 2011.
Larry McFeely
So 14 years ago. What? So 47.
Brett Vesley
No way. Yeah. That makes it to 94.
Brady
I was trying to think of a couple others. You know the three wheel accident. That was in 1983. Oh, that's past that.
Brett Vesley
Yeah.
Brady
Falling off the.
Brett Vesley
Yeah. They were kids. I wonder like, where you're. Where you're almost. I wonder if that would be a chance.
John Holmberg
A rapper show. That could be it too. You know, the creator, whoever it was.
Brett Vesley
120.
Larry McFeely
No, we should do is find Torps because. And see if it cool.
Brett Vesley
There you go.
Larry McFeely
See if it lines up with Cuba.
Brett Vesley
Find out his halfway point and see where he was at the halfway point. And I wonder if we've unlocked a code to humanity. Like, this is like solving language on the pyramids.
Brady
Yeah. Between like 40, 43 and 44 years old.
Brett Vesley
Is he 88 when he died?
Brady
Yeah, it was 89.
Brett Vesley
Okay, so it would have been 44.
Larry McFeely
44 and a half.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
You know, find the exact day he was born. The exact day he died. You know, the day he was born. Yeah.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
What was it?
Brady
October 6, 1933.
Larry McFeely
So 44.
Brett Vesley
No, no. And then. No and then he died. What day? It's June, right?
Brady
Yeah. Right around 2023.
Larry McFeely
Right? We're coming up on it.
Brady
2023. June.
Brett Vesley
You don't remember the day? Ceiling tiles.
Larry McFeely
Just tell them I have it. It's. It's in the archives. I'll look it up. I was just looking at it.
Brady
It's just before the 4th of July.
Brett Vesley
That's June.
Brady
I think it's the end of June.
Brett Vesley
Okay. You don't know the date?
Brady
I don't.
Brett Vesley
Oh, my God. You gotta get on the ball here, kid. So we're gonna find the exact days. Ask Google how many days that is. And then cut it in half. And that's the day Tour pad.
Larry McFeely
Hold on.
Brett Vesley
We're gonna find out what day he was.
Larry McFeely
One more time.
Brett Vesley
Do the math. On October 6th, 1933. And then June something or other. 2023. All right. She was almost 90.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
Yeah. That's tight. All right.
Brady
Got a terrifying moment for this dude that was paragliding. It was paragliding in China. And he was going over a mountain range pretty high up. It was cold. Caught a vortex caught him. And he went from 9, 800ft to 28,000 jet level. So your oxygen level drops down.
Brett Vesley
It's like 50 below zero, too.
Brady
And it's below. And he's already had frost bite on his face because he didn't have a full face mask on. And and he ended up surviving the whole ordeal. He came down, he just looked like a frozen popsicle.
Brett Vesley
I'd have been crying like a. But he's got pictures of him up.
Brady
Above the vortex that took him up there. And it seemed like seconds.
Brett Vesley
I watched eagles in Alaska. Not the band, the actual bird hit a vortex on purpose to go over a mountain. And it was the catching, like, is.
Brady
It vortex or catching like a thermal?
Brett Vesley
I don't know. The guy was like, watch whatever they. Because the wind would blow and he knew, okay, the wind's blowing. There's a. There's a jet stream that's going to go straight up this. And the eagles will find it and they'll go over the hill on it.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Vesley
And then you'd see him on the other side of the thing just pop up and swoop down on you. These mountains were 14, 000ft and these guys go whoosh. And I don't know, they would fly right into the side of that thing and disappear. I'm like, that's the cool. And it was seconds like they just. And their wings would open up and they just get shot straight up in the sky. I thought it was the neatest thing I've ever seen, but I didn't know people could do it. I know it would lift you. If you were that heavy, you'd think it would pull dogs up and stuff.

She's standing there behind a car, and another car comes up and hits the back end of the car.
Brady
Sandwich behind the. And then she's in the road and.
Brett Vesley
Then the guy just drove over her. Oh, this is an ex boyfriend. Well, the music tells her it's a bad country.
John Holmberg
And the writing.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, that's true. Nothing about that music says there is a crime is not about to happen. You're. You're definitely about to be part of something horrible.
Brady
Now we got the magic show. The final. The closing.
Brett Vesley

Brady
Trick.
Brett Vesley
There's a dude, a brother jumping up on what looks to be like a plastic lawn chair.
Larry McFeely
This is purely for Brady.
Brett Vesley
No, this is not good. And it just says, yo, he throws up in a pitcher. A gallon of water comes out. Oh, he's a little Mexican lemonade or something. It's like Tiger Woods.
Brady
Yeah. There you go, everybody. Good night, everybody.
Brett Vesley
That's the closer. He throws up in a pitcher. Is this. He just puked a gallon of water. Yeah.

Brady
But we can top the disgusting thing.
Brett Vesley
What's the picture for? Wait for it. He's gonna puke in it and fill that.
Brady
You're gonna love it. This pig's got a little leak in his head.
Brett Vesley
Oh, he's got an abscess. Oh, he popped an abscess. One of my favorite things on the Internet to do is search livestock abscess. And he's got a good one. And it is just spraying all over the place. Oh, my. It's Peter North. Like, if his penis was on his forehead, he is shooting pus all over the other piggies.
Larry McFeely
That's a good size abscess.
Brett Vesley
Oh.
Brady
Last one is a girl that definitely doesn't have helicopter parents. They're like, yeah, get on your bike and go down the steps.
Brett Vesley
It's the biggest staircase I've ever seen. And their parents just shoved her down. Little Asian girl. She's okay.
Brady
Looks like it.
Brett Vesley
Well, the internal bleeding made it, though. She almost rode all the way down a hundred steps. Like, Rocky's staircase wasn't as steep either.
Brady
They gave her five minutes, and then you hear her dad again.
John Holmberg
She had a full suspension pivot. She'd have made that.
Brett Vesley
Is that because she's Chinese? She's hungry for danger again real fast.
Brady
She's training.
Brett Vesley
Look at the garbage neighborhood she lands in, though. Just air conditioners and laying around. Wow. All right. Asians can Almost do that. We're gonna lose a war. Once they all figure out how to do that, we can't beat them.
Brady
Start up a new TV show.
Brett Vesley
Asians Can Almost do that. Asians Can Almost do this. And an Asian goes 90% of the way doing something crazy and then falls. Did you catch it? If they ever pick up that last 10%, we'll all be speaking Chinese. They already got us in math.
Brady
Paragliding catches a vortex and almost.
Brett Vesley
Welcome to another episode of Asians Can Almost Do It. It's things that they're trying to conquer before they attack us.

John Holmberg
All right, start with. Start with this one. This kind of almost. Almost looks like a video game.
Brett Vesley
This is like some sort of oil field and a big thing. Just one of the tanks blew up. And now here's another one. A guy standing on one. Oh, the top's juggling, and he's standing on top of that thing's about to blow. It's these tanks of oil or some sort of.
John Holmberg
I think they're drone shots or something.
Brett Vesley
Oh, my God. And then this gargantuan 5, 10 story.
Brady
Giant water heater just.
Brett Vesley
Yeah. Just shot off the ground and lit on fire. Look at that.
John Holmberg

Guy in an inflatable costume. It's like a big inflatable bunny, and then a guy's farting on him. Brett, do you have sound?
Larry McFeely
Because that's the intake.
John Holmberg
You don't have sound?
Brett Vesley
No, I've got him. Turned you up. And he just. Did he just deflate him? Oh, he tried. He farted. Okay. He farted in one of those sumo inflatable things. And Brett doesn't have sound.

John Holmberg
Check this one out. How about some bad mothering?
Brett Vesley
Okay, we're in a moment. Too many mopeds to be a good country. And. Oh, she shoves her kid out in front of a motorcycle and then just runs right over this. Oh, and then she falls down.
Brady
Kyle drives the kid.
Brett Vesley
Now the motorcycle driver's trying to help, and she's losing her mind.
John Holmberg
After she pushed him off his bike, too.
Brett Vesley
Yeah, look, I think she thought her kid was still under the motorcycle. And that again, that nation has too many mopeds to be a decent gdp.
Brady
I think that guy at the end stole her groceries.
Brett Vesley
Oh, sure. Give me that. You don't need these anymore. You're eating for one again. Well, there's a guy just fell under a dump truck. He explodes like a melon. Oh, no. Oh, God.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona: May 28, 2025 Episode Summary
Hosted by John Holmberg with Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo
The episode kicks off with a spirited celebration of National Burger Day, sparking a lively debate among the hosts about the definition and popularity of chicken burgers versus traditional beef burgers.
Brady Bogen introduces the topic:
"Good Wednesday morning to you, Phoenix. Happy National Burger Day." (05:49)
The conversation heats up as Bret Vesely challenges Brady's statement:
"No, they're not. You can't call it a chicken. Maybe a chicken sandwich, but it's not a chicken." (06:06)
John Holmberg adds humorously:
"Still not a burger." (06:27)
The hosts express skepticism over Wendy's latest creation—a sandwich comprising two grilled cheeses with a burger patty in between—which Brady hints is currently only available in Canada. Brady remarks:
"Wendy's has rolled out a new burger, and it's in Canada right now. It'll be coming here soon." (07:14)
Transitioning from the culinary discussions, the hosts announce an exciting Man Cave Upgrade Giveaway, generously sponsored by Prestige Billiards, Twin Peaks, Wise Coatings, and Game Day Men's Health.
Bret Vesely outlines the grand prize:
"You get the grand prize—a Savannah pool table made by Brunswick, a ping-pong conversion top, an air hockey table, a ceramic charcoal smoker, $200 in Twin Peaks gift cards, a garage floor coating from Wise Coatings, and a $1,000 Game Day Men's Health gift card." (05:00)
Listeners are encouraged to participate by texting the provided keyword to qualify, with daily qualifiers receiving $50 vouchers from Vaughn Hansen's Meat and Spirits.
Bret emphasizes the fairness of the contest:
"I can't rig this, I would if I could. It's all computer stuff." (04:38)
A surprising segment delves into the enigmatic connection between Michael Jackson's tragic Pepsi commercial accident and the concept of life's halfway point.
Brady shares an intriguing fact:
"The day that Michael Jackson caught on fire while he was filming the Pepsi commercial was literally the halfway point of his life. It happened 9,282 days after he was born and he died 9,281 days after it happened." (10:29)
Bret Vestely muses humorously on the notion:
"I wonder if that's like a little accidental matrix key lock that we just found through Michael Jackson's hair." (10:46)
The hosts contemplate whether significant life-altering events might mark a person's midway point in life, blending humor with philosophical ponderings.
A robust discussion emerges around personal near-death experiences shared by Bret Vesely.
Bret recounts his own narrow escapes:
"I almost died because that rabbit ran in front of me. And I screamed bunny, which I thought were going to be my last words." (16:00)
Larry McFeely and Brady Bogen engage in humorous banter, suggesting various life-threatening scenarios, including falling off roofs and animal encounters.
Bret narrates a particularly harrowing incident:
"I was on the roof, vertigo for a second, fell down and did a turn in the air, grabbed the edge of the roof, and dropped down onto the ground on my feet." (15:18)
The segment highlights the hosts' ability to blend suspenseful storytelling with lighthearted humor.
Drawing from Consumer Reports, the hosts explore a surprising list of the most hazardous foods lurking in everyday refrigerators.
Brady introduces the topic:
"Consumer Reports posted a list of the most dangerous foods that might be sitting in your fridge right now." (21:12)
The list includes unexpected items such as:
Bret humorously critiques the findings:
"People hospitalized from cucumbers, not from eating them." (21:33)
Wayne taps into the skepticism:
"What the hell's that doing in your Fridge next to delicious foods, Brady." (21:43)
The discussion underscores the sometimes paradoxical nature of food safety, mixing factual information with the hosts' characteristic wit.
A guest story highlights Oliver Widger, a man who quit his job to sail around the world with his cat, Phoenix, after being diagnosed with a rare bone disorder.
Brady shares the tale:
"A dude from Oregon named Oliver Widger, he suddenly is a huge fan, has a bunch of people following him online because he quit his job to sail around the world with his cat." (25:29)
The hosts question the feasibility and motivations behind such an adventurous decision:
"Sounds crazy. Kind of." (28:35)
The narrative touches on the challenges Oliver faces, including learning to sail through YouTube tutorials and managing his condition while embarking on a global journey.
This segment reflects on themes of resilience, passion, and unconventional life choices.
An intense story about a paragliding incident in China is recounted, showcasing human survival instincts.
