John Holmberg
You'Ve been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.
Brett Holmberg
He's evil sitting right here.
John Holmberg
Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. 98k u p t. I hear you. Everybody's like, quit calling it a clip. It's a magazine. Yeah, I know, but I got street cred, baby. I. I call it what it is. I call it a clip. Also, you're not wrong. Everybody keeps saying, well, why don't you have a man do it? And go ahead and service everything at your house as well. I mean, what's going on? I gotcha. Yeah, you're all going to service my stuff. I just told, like, I got three bullets in this magazine or mag they shot out of there on their own. Something's too spring loaded. This PEZ dispenser won't hold my pez. And that made me realize as I was doing it, PEZ dispensers have to be designed after magazines. They're the same thing. They're teaching kids how to load guns in a weird sort of way. But yeah, it's the strangest thing, all right. They just try to put my little moments out on the air. And you guys crapped on me. Not like we did. Unless you're Vanessa who's just blobbing around there, buzzing away. Everybody in the email says Vanessa was probably masturbating to pictures or videos of an ex or something. She didn't tell us the whole story. Nobody. Yeah, Vanessa, nobody believes that you were just, you know, innocently pleasuring yourself with a vibrator and your husband won't touch you anymore. Something else happened. Give us the whole story. Tell us what was going on. Give us your backstory if you want us to really solve it. Otherwise, Brady's right. You're just pig.
Brett Holmberg
Have fun with your sketchers.
John Holmberg
You have fun with your weird sketch. Or some guy emailed, said, I'm 280 pounds of pure lard and I can still trim my own toenails. Yeah, you have to be in pretty bad shape not to be able to get to your toes. That's rough. Like Vanessa. Maybe that's what she was doing. Maybe he saw your feet. He hadn't been down there for a long time. It wasn't about the vibrator or the sex. He saw those eagle talons are growing off your toes. I can't touch that ever again. Larry's got himself a great deal coming up here, as you know. Excellent adventure. Larry goes on one for Toyota and the Valley Toyota dealers every year. And this year he went up to Sedona in a brand new Tundra and they got all this video. And the reason he does it is to kind of spend time with the car and let everybody know what's going on. Then he comes back and he qualifies all sorts of people for three grand. Like he's giving away a ton of money. And he's going to start that again today. So if you're listening to Larry at about 11 this morning, hour and 14 minutes exactly, uh, Larry's excellent adventure is beginning and he's going to qualify you guys for all sorts of stuff, including walking away with 3,000 bucks right in your hands. Due to the excellent adventure with Larry and her friends at Valley Toyota dealers. Always a cool idea and all he does is just me. And we make it kind of difficult sometimes with like Shaleleigh and even Cyborg screwed people up this morning. Get it all ready and rocking. And Larry does like cat. He does easy ones and you can qualify for it. And then he'll do a big drawn. So listen to Larry later this morning. Try to get your hands on some of Larry's cash. The Valley Toyota dealer's giving you that excellent adventure. The videos are pretty great. The shots. Larry took that thing out to some spots and it is absolutely Sedona. It's hard to. Sedona is a pretty girl. It takes great pictures. No matter what's going on. Cloudy day, rainy day, sunny, clear. It's always pretty. It's a pretty person. It's 9:46. We got an entertainment drill coming up next. It's 98.

I love it. That's Living color. God, Living color is amazing. That. When was that, John? You were at that, too. Was that a year ago? Oh, I didn't. Don't say with Extreme because I don't care about that. John always throws in that Extreme was part of that. I like to forget that part. And John would argue with me because it goes against his blood type. Extreme was horrible that night, John. Not after Living Color all by themselves. They were horrible. Living Color happened to be fantastic. And then Extreme came out and sucked and it made them even worse because. Anyway, stop it. Why'd you bring them up? Living Colors. Great. If you get a chance to see him do it. I just got an email saying everybody needs to get off your back, John. Bullets do just sometimes fly out of guns. I totally get what you're saying. Signed, Alec Baldwin.
Larry
All right, I don't need this.
John Holmberg
Damn. Is time now for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our friends@reactdefense.com, the home of tactical Black. Talked about it this morning. Guy just went in there with a makeshift flamethrower to some group and I guess, you know, and all the times I've been over there six, seven years now that I've been doing this, that the one thing I know is the destroy the operator thing is the first thing you think about when there's an attacker in that kind of situation. And you'd need a few sheepdogs in that spot to turn around and go, hey, this is big trouble. We got to take this guy down. And you have to have people who are unafraid to do that. And that's what they kind of train you to do. Although, again, with fire, you'd be hard pressed to get me to do that. I have to be right next to him. I don't know that I'll be running too close to a dude shooting fire. Fire's horrifying. But that's the kind of world we live in. Not to be paranoid or scared and constantly worried, but aware for sure. I was in downtown Tempe picking up a friend. That was Flip Orly, actually. But no, it was Lovett's about six months ago, and his hotel was down there. And we drove around and they were having a. Just. We didn't know, but they were having a little rally for the Palestinians in the corner. And I'm like, this thing's ripe for a full out, like, attack. And we stumbled upon it and, you.
Brady
Know, Mills probably wanted to throw down.
John Holmberg
Oh, Lovitz was furious. And I'm like, you're the type that, like, you might lose it. He was. He was not happy. And we went. It was weird. So you just never know when it can. You can accidentally find trouble and it can certainly find you. It's never bad to have something in your pocket, that's for sure. I get all these people that email me and are like, I want to try. That I want to do. Then do it. Just do it. It'll get you in great shape and get all over that thing. Right now. The process is unbelievable. You guys can get involved and the price is unbeatable. Hop aboard right now. See what they've got to offer. Get in great shape while you're at it. And also getting to the spot where your brain kind of functions around the idea that chaos can happen at any moment. It's called preparation. It's not paranoia. And you live in it every day, whether you know it or not. FBI Stats says your workplace is the one most likely to have something stupid happen. Would you know what to do? Do you think you know what to do? Why not know for sure? And that's what they teach@reactdefense.com it's the home of Tactical Black Brady. Entertain me.

Netflix held its annual TUDUM event over the weekend, announcing premiere and dates and releasing trailers of upcoming movies and shows. The fifth and final season of Stranger Things will roll out in three parts on November 26, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve. Okay, finale for squid game season three.
John Holmberg
When's that start?
Brady
27Th of this month.
Dick Toledo
Ooh, already back.
John Holmberg
That's June, isn't it? Yep. Holy smokes. I was trying to think of what month it was. 27th of this month. I watched the Peewee Herman documentary that we. That you did and Lisa's a few weeks ago. It's pretty awesome.
Dick Toledo
That's what I keep hearing.
John Holmberg
It's weird.
Dick Toledo
Is it all one show or is It. Two episodes.
John Holmberg
Two episodes. They're long. But it's really strange to see Peewee open up about his first few years as a grown up.
Dick Toledo
His love. The guy he fell in love with. Guy. Guy.
John Holmberg
It was a guy. His name was Guy? Yeah. He was blowing a dude named Guy for a while. Had to do more. And he just. Because, like, look, it's not.
Dick Toledo
He couldn't.
John Holmberg
It's like, it's not good for my career to be this pseudo children's host and be blowing this guy on the side. So he just stopped loving people and just became Pee Wee Herman. Really weird. Like, everyday life. She was just Peewee. It's crazy.
Brady
A new Happy Gilmore 2 trailer dropped. That movie premieres January 25th.
John Holmberg
Well, if I'm lucky, I'll be hit by a truck.
Brady
Got another Frankenstein movie coming out in November.
Dick Toledo
That's too many over the last few years.
John Holmberg
That's a lot.
Brady
This one has Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz.
John Holmberg
When was the last Frankenstein?
Dick Toledo
Poor Things. I mean, not a true retelling, but Poor Things was based.
John Holmberg
Oh, it kind of was a Frankenstein thing. But it won awards.
Dick Toledo
Well, because she was naked a lot.
John Holmberg
Is that why they gave it to her?
Dick Toledo
That was your theory. You said, well, I think you want an Oscar. Get naked.
John Holmberg
I think that's a Best Actress for sure you're getting. Especially if we've wanted to see him. I didn't ever want to see Emma Stone naked. Yeah. And not that she's unattractive. I just, like. I actually think she's really good.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So I didn't think she'd have to resort to that. Glad she did.
Brady
Ricky Gervais got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday.
Colin Eastwood
Don't want it. Take it back. No big deal. It's all yours. I don't care.
Brady
So it's an honor to be with.
John Holmberg
Such legends as Mel Gibson. Who else?
Brady
Bill Cosby.
John Holmberg
All the people who've had Fatty Arbuckle kill the guy. Rape some people.
Brady
There's a third one.
Colin Eastwood
I don't care. I don't want it. I don't want it. Do I now? Gotta go. Sorry, folks. Gotta go.
Brady
Colin Eastwood threw out some advice. He turned 95. Last, I think, was on Never Trust a Dago.
Larry
What? He asked for advice. I'm 95. What did you expect?
Brady
He said, instead of doing remakes, filmmakers should do something new or stay at home.
Larry
Yeah, like Cry Macho, the movie about a boy and his chicken. I made that Gangbusters flick a couple years ago. Brady.
Brady
You saw it it was awesome.
Larry
Yeah. Never trust a boy holding a cock.
Brett Holmberg
What?
John Holmberg
What?
Larry
That's what Cry Macho's message is. Get a big rooster. He's walking around carrying things, throwing it at people. Yeah, he trained at a trained cock.
Dick Toledo
Is there any chance you were killed in 2020 and this is.
Larry
Yeah. AI version. AI version of myself. I was executed in the early 20s and today I live on to make movies like Cry Macho. What a film, Brady. Remember?
Brady
Oh, yeah.
Larry
I had to go down there and pick up that boy in his.
Brady
And you found love.
Larry
Yeah, loads of it. Because nothing chicks in Mexico love more than a 90 year old man.
Brady
You didn't back down to the cartels.
Larry
No, I didn't. I bedded a lady. Right in front of him, actually. And then I grabbed a boy in his cock and we got out of Dodge. Watch the film, Brett. It's how we used to talk in the day.
Brady
Here's a.
Larry
Then I threw a homo F word in my mouth and I smoked it. I almost said it, but I thought better. That's what we used to call those too.
Brady
Actors who were killed, kidnapped or otherwise traumatized on movie sets.
John Holmberg
On movie sets, yeah.
Brady
Brendan Fraser.
John Holmberg
Brendan Fraser wasn't killed.
Brady
Almost suffocated. For real. During the scene in the Mummy where he was trying to hang. They were hanging him in the prison.
John Holmberg
I remember that.
Brady
He was. Almost a hundred people were poisoned. I remember this story. The set of Titanic.
John Holmberg
What?
Brady
Someone spiked the chowder, right?
Brett Holmberg
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Drugged the chowder.
Brady
Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio weren't working that day, but it got James Cameron and he. It's pretty sure he knows who did it.
John Holmberg
They did it. Kate and Leo, maybe. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
There you go.
John Holmberg
I mean, my first two are the two people who weren't at work that day. If we all got poisoned and Lane wasn't here, like, wait a minute. But didn't she make all this chowder? Yep. Well, she poisoned us.
Dick Toledo
Maybe it's Billy Zane.
John Holmberg
Billy Zane's not pissing anybody off. He's a good employee.
Brady
The hair and makeup guy was kidnapped from the set of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet in Mexico. They only had to pay 300 bucks to get him back.
John Holmberg
Wow, they hated that guy.
Brett Holmberg
Took it out of his check.
John Holmberg
They kidnapped the guy in Like.
Brady
And Jim Cavisio.
John Holmberg
Have him back.
Brady
Was struck by lightning while filming the Sermon on the Mount.
John Holmberg
That's right.
Brady
Passion of the Christ.
John Holmberg
That's a lie, by the way. Yeah, that didn't occur.
Dick Toledo
That's part of the promo yeah, that was real.
John Holmberg
No, he was not struck by lightning while he was Jesus on the hill. No, he wasn't.
Brady
He's given a sermon.
John Holmberg
Didn't happen. He was giving a movie script. He was giving life to. He wasn't giving a sermon. And then God was angry. Oh, God was not angry. That's not how God works. I hope that he doesn't use weather against us.
Brady
This is the 20th anniversary of the song you're beautiful by James Blunt.
John Holmberg
Jesus. Why wouldn't he just make your heart explode? Why do people think he's got to throw thunderbolts? If you didn't like what you were doing, just blow up.
Brady
It wasn't like you. Just the fact that he was hit by lightning. I don't think it was. Obviously it wasn't a direct strike. People try to make hit in that area.
John Holmberg
Right. People try to make a big deal that it was because it was the passion of the Christ and it was like, stop it. If he didn't like it, he just like made his legs fall off or something.
Brady
Plus he got pneumonia from hanging on the cross.
Brett Holmberg
A heart attack right there.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And then just drop him.
Dick Toledo
He's done a half dozen of those religious. Religious moves. Wouldn't something have happened on every one of those?
John Holmberg
And if God's going to get involved in that, wouldn't he get like. The exorcist would have just lit on fire every day?
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Brady
When I saw him speak at the cornerstone church back then. God, Jesus. What?
Dick Toledo
Well then why you've been holding this.
John Holmberg
Story, Proving me wrong.
Brett Holmberg
Every day we learn something new about it.
John Holmberg
And Cavisa was there.
Brady
Yeah, yeah. And he didn't mention anything about the lightning strike. But he did mention that he was at a cold going into the crucifixion scene. And it was 32 degrees and Mel was putting them up there on there and he ended up getting pneumonia.
John Holmberg
You know what you normally don't hear during stories of crucifixion? The crowd. Ah, that's funny. Had a rough time filming the crucifixion. Imagine.
Brady
So the song you're beautiful by James Blunt, he revealed it's actually about being high on drugs and stalking someone. Someone else's girlfriend.
John Holmberg
That is a wedding favorite. Do you play your beautiful a lot? I bet you do.
Brett Holmberg
Used to and not as much anymore.
John Holmberg
Figured it out. Yeah. And it's a dirty, filthy, druggie stalker song.
Brett Holmberg
It's like semi charm kind of life too. Everybody loves that song. And it's so happy. Go lucky you're singing along. You're. What did he just say?
John Holmberg
Every Breath youh Take. Lips of an Angel. Yeah, there's tons of. Oh, the again.
Brett Holmberg
The one I love from REM Glycerin.
John Holmberg
By the Bush is my favorite because it's about KY jelly and anal sex. Glycerin.
Brett Holmberg
I just learned that right now.
John Holmberg
Glycerin is lubricant.
Brett Holmberg
Okay, well, I doubt I knew, but I didn't put the two together.
John Holmberg
Should have been easier on you. Glycerine. He went in dry. I think the song's all about apologizing because he went in dry. And then she broke up with him and he went into the lab and he wrote a hit song about how rough he was on her butt. And it became a smash. And now people play it at weddings and like proms.
Larry
Glycerin.
John Holmberg
It's terrible. Anyway, that's it. Larry's coming up. He's got your glorious chance to win Larry's excellent adventure. He'll explain that to you and it could result and you walking away with three grand. How about them apples? The Valley Toyota dealers and Larry's traveling around them a whole state every year. Stick him in another spot and say, what do you want to do this year? And he's going to come back and give you more cash. Find out all about it from Larry, who is coming up right now. You guys have yourselves a great Monday. We'll see you tomorrow. Right here in the morning sickness.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird here. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee.
John Holmberg
I have heard enough of this.
