1. Exploring Arizona's Hidden Fishing Gems

[01:09] Dick Toledo:
"Drive from Monument Valley to Sedona, Horseshoe Bend, Grand Canyon and more. You might think you've seen all Arizona has to offer. Well, I'd tell you if you haven't been fishing in Arizona, you haven't seen a thing."

Dick Toledo kicks off the episode by highlighting Arizona's lesser-known fishing spots. Sharing his personal experience fishing in Greer with his friend Jeremy, Dick emphasizes how obtaining a fishing license "is the passport that opened up the whole state to me" ([01:19]). He encourages listeners to explore Arizona's natural beauty through fishing, directing them to obtain a license at azgfd.gov.

2. Pixar Films: Arizona's Favorite Animation

[03:43] John:
"Google Trends determine the most popular Pixar film in each state according to search history. It's based on 21 years of data from January 1, 2004, to May 21, 2025."

John discusses the results of a Google Trends analysis revealing Arizona's favorite Pixar movies. The surprising top spot for "Toy Story" among 24 states, including Arizona, leads to a spirited debate with Brady.

[04:17] Brady:
"Number one. That's like seventh or eight on the list."

The duo navigates through the rankings, debating the placement of films like "Moana," "Finding Nemo," and "The Incredibles." Despite differing opinions—Brady expressing a dislike for "Moana" ([04:36]), they agree that most Pixar films hold up well, with only a few exceptions.

3. Tragic Loss: Actor Jonathan Joss Killed in Alleged Hate Crime

[05:19] John:
"This is crazy. He died Sunday after being shot by his neighbor for being gay."

The conversation takes a somber turn as John reports the tragic death of actor Jonathan Joss. Brady and John delve into the circumstances surrounding the incident, revealing that Jonathan and his husband Tristan faced ongoing harassment from a homophobic neighbor.

[05:53] John:
"Jonathan's childhood home burned down this past January. One of his dogs died in the fire."

They discuss the abusive environment Jonathan endured, including threats and the devastating loss of his home and beloved pet. The neighbor's aggressive confrontation culminated in the fatal shooting, with Jonathan saving Tristan's life by pushing him out of harm's way ([06:11] John).

[07:05] Brady:
"He was Red Corn on King of the Hill. And I guess he was on Parks and Rec, too."

Brady reflects on Jonathan's acting career, mentioning his roles in popular TV shows like "King of the Hill" and "Parks and Recreation." The hosts express sympathy for Jonathan's struggle with being shunned by fans and peers alike.

4. Parole Granted to Patricia Kremwinkle

[09:51] John:
"It's official. Patricia Kremwinkle is granted parole."

The hosts shift focus to a significant legal development: Patricia Kremwinkle, one of the Manson Circle killers, has been granted parole after serving 55 years in prison.

[10:09] John:
"She was the one that wrote out the Helter Skelter and Pig in the Parlor."

They discuss Kremwinkle's role in the infamous Manson murders, highlighting the gravity of her parole and its potential implications. The conversation touches on public reaction and the historical context of her crimes.

5. Mykelti Williamson on Bubba Gump Shrimp Co

[11:00] John:
"Mykelti Williamson was on a podcast, and the guy brought up the fact. He said, have you ever been to a Bubba Gump shrimp?"

The discussion turns to Mykelti Williamson's humorous remark about never having been to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. The hosts playfully debate the necessity of a formal invitation to visit the iconic restaurant chain.

[11:48] John:
"I think you're more than welcome. I think he's probably upset that he didn't get any money from it. So he's ignored it."

Brady jokes about Williamson's comment, questioning whether the actor feels slighted by the lack of official invitations or financial incentives. The banter continues as they explore the cultural significance of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., referencing Tom Hanks' involvement and the restaurant's widespread presence.

6. Upcoming Segments and Closing Remarks

As the episode wraps up, the hosts tease upcoming segments, including a chance to win $3,000 in an "Excellent Adventure" to be announced by Larry. They encourage listeners to tune in for more engaging discussions and entertainment the following day.

[14:05] Larry McFeely:
"Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from AMCO..."

Or he said, get a job, pay your bills. Make sure that the people in your life are cared for. That's what a man does. And then he said, learn self defense. And I'm like, yeah, that is kind of a great, like, final touch that. Learn how to defend yourself to make sure that you can keep protecting your family. That's pretty awesome. I was like. I almost like, started waving a flag. This dude was on something. Like, that's a really good point. I forget what I was even watching, but I'm like, all right. Probably something on Fox. It sounds a little foxy, but it was. It was good. Like, the guy was right on. And I'm like, that's good. And then you can go to reactdefense.com and say, you know what?

[John]

Google Trends determine the most popular Pixar film in each state according to search history. It's based on 21 years of data from January 1, 2004 to May 21, 2025. So the movies have been around longer, so you can take advantage of them. It's amazing. Arizona at 24 states. The number one Pixar movie toy Story were included in this. Monsters, Inc. What surprised me?

[Brady]

Number one. That's like seventh or eight on the list.

[John]

Number two has 10 states including Hawaii, Florida and Maine.

[Brady]

Oh, that's Moana.

[John]

Finding Nema.

[Brady]

What? That's okay. That would have been my second guess.

[John]

It's surprising because Incredibles was number three. That's a great with nine states. Then Toy Story, Toy Story and Toy.

[Brady]

Story 2 are like Coco was number.

[John]

What's fifth?

[Brady]

Inside out and wall. Either great ones up up as a cartoon aboard or a miscarriage in it. It's incredible. There aren't many bad Pixar movies, but there are a few. There are a couple of clunkers. I didn't like Moana at all. And then what's the one with the Scottish girl with the hair?

[John]

Brave Mirda. I think there's a second one. How to train your dragon.

[Brady]

Was that Pixar? That was DreamWorks.

[John]

Was that DreamWorks?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John]

Actor Jonathan Joss.

[Brady]

This is crazy.

[John]

Crazy indeed. He died Sunday after being shot by his neighbor for being gay.

[HMS Podcast Host]

Right.

[John]

According to.

[HMS Podcast Host]

Is that what it is?

[Brady]

His husband.

[John]

His husband.

[Brady]

You're gonna call him his wife?

[HMS Podcast Host]

Well, it could be.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

He was the wife.

[Brady]

You think?

[John]

Because Joss's husband Tristan could not be.

[HMS Podcast Host]

The big Indian in the commercials.

[Brady]

He was a big Indian.

[HMS Podcast Host]

That's what I mean. In the commercials.

[Brady]

Oh, I see the. In the big Target ones.

[John]

This guy Jonathan, man, his childhood home burned down this past January.

[Brady]

His home burned down?

[John]

Yeah. One of his dogs died in the fire. For years before that, Jonathan and Tristan had apparently dealt with homophobic neighbor and had threatened to burn it down.

[Brady]

Yeah, that was. It wasn't his childhood home unless he lived in his childhood home still. Because that was his resident.

[John]

That's what they're saying. Jonathan's childhood home.

[Brady]

It must have been the same place he was staying because they said they came back from something and the house had burned down. And the neighbor said that they. And they. Evidently the entire community hated them.

[John]

And that's when the man approached him. They came back to. To the house, and that's where they found the skull of one of her dogs in its harness, placed in clear view.

[Brady]

Yikes.

[John]

They were distraught, started yelling and crying. And that's when the man approached them, started yelling gay slurs at them. Then he raised a gun, pointed it at them, and opened fire. Tristan says Jonathan pushed him out of the way and saved his life. Jonathan was struck several times and died at the scene.

[Brady]

He was red corn on King of the Hill. And I guess he was on Parks and Rec, too. I didn't watch Parks and Rec, but he was on there a few times. But.

[John]

And he felt. He went to one of the fan fests for King of the Hill, and he felt like he was shunned at that, according to Jonathan.

[Brady]

So he had a little bit of a chip in his shoulder about how people treated him for being gay.

[John]

I don't know if it was that or just his role in the. In the King of the Hill.

[Brady]

He wasn't gay on King of the.

[John]

Hill, but the other. He's saying the other crew, you know, the members that were there. Yeah, he was like this fan fest. He was kind of like, yeah, yeah, you were.

[Brady]

You're Red Corn.

[John]

Yeah, like if.

[Brady]

If boom hours there. I'm talking to him. So, I mean, you're sounding that way.

[John]

From the cast, Right?

[Brady]

That's what I'm saying. They're better than you as far as that cast goes. You know, no offense, but if you meet Brady and you meet John Gordon over there on the couch, John's gonna feel a little bit shunned by the whole deal. He's an important part of the deal. Yeah, but he's hardly on. He was on, like, once every few episodes. It's not like Redcorn was. If that character just stopped showing up, nobody would notice. Doesn't mean he needs to be shot. I'm just saying, you know, he sounds a little sensitive at that point. That should have never been brought up.

[John]

After 16 years of podcasting, Marc Baron is throwing the talon with his WTF podcast.

[Brady]

He's in the new Own Wilson golf movie. It was a guy yelling at him in the bar.

[John]

He's like, you know, 16amazing years. We just kind of burn out on it. George Romeo's daughter made an LGBTQ zombie movie.

[Brady]

It's Romeo, isn't it?

[John]

Romeo. Yeah. Sorry.

[HMS Podcast Host]

Them too.

[Brady]

Spelled the same.

[John]

She also said thank you to Tom Cruise.

[Brady]

Romero also. Yeah.

[John]

Romero. Yeah. George Romero. Yeah.

[Brady]

We'll get there.

[John]

What did I say? Romeo.

[Brady]

You said Romeo. And then I'm like, well, that must be Romeo, because that doesn't say. But George Romero is the. Then you said it was a horrible.

[John]

Guy behind the Night of the Living Dead, Right?

[Brady]

I didn't know who you were talking about at first.

[John]

Yeah. This is called Queens of the Dead. She also thanked Tom Cruise for letting giving her a week off to be able to film this movie.

[Brady]

It only took a week to make it, I guess.

[John]

Wrap it up. Well, the cast includes Katie o' Brien from Love Lies Bleeding, comedian Margaret Cho, Cheyenne Jackson, American Horror Story.

[Brady]

Okay.

[John]

And it took nina west from RuPaul's.

[Brady]

Drag Race 7 days to film this.

[John]

Sounds like it. Or she needed that extra week to finish it up.

[Brady]

I've got home movies that last longer than it took. Took at least two weeks to get done.

[John]

It's official. Patricia Kremwinkle is granted parole.

[Brady]

I don't know. That is.

[John]

She has been in jail for 55 years. She's one of the Manson killers.

[Brady]

Oh.

[John]

She was. The board agreed to set her free in 2022, but Gavin Newson shot it down.

[Brady]

What's her name?

[John]

Reversed it. Patricia Krenwinkle.

[HMS Podcast Host]

Who is she? It's not Squeaky or anything, is it?

[John]

Yeah, no, she's saying she's the one that wrote out the Helter Skelter and Pig in the. From.

[Brady]

Right.

[John]

Blood of the victims.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John]

I was looking to see if they had a nickname, you know, if she had a nickname.

[Brady]

But it's because the other one was Van Houten. Right. And then Squeaky from. Because Van Houten is the reason, you know that is because the kid from Millhouse from the Simpsons last name. His family's Van Houten. And they never mention. But it's probably there.

[John]

McKeltie Williamson was on a podcast, and the guy brought up the fact. He said, have you ever been to a Bubba Gump shrimp?

[Brady]

Bubba Gump's never been there.

[John]

Never been there. He goes, main reason is I've never really been formally invited to go there.

[Brady]

Oh, you don't have to be formally.

[HMS Podcast Host]

Invited to go to Bubble, everybody.

[Brady]

He said properly, proper invitations for Bubba.

[HMS Podcast Host]

He wants free food.

[Brady]

That's exactly. And you get it if he wandered in. Does he think he can't wander into a Bubba Gump?

[John]

And not every type of shrimp on that.

[Brady]

He's. He's forest best. As good friend.

[Fisher Tools Representative]

It's.

[Brady]

I mean, come on.

[HMS Podcast Host]

It's named after.

[Wayne from AMCO]

Because of you.

[Brady]

That. That was a shrimp. Cash. Raw shrimp. It's dude.

[John]

But really, you know, you think about it. I know it's enforced. Basically. Did that in honor of him.

[Brady]

Just say you don't want.

[John]

But if you're opening restaurant, why wouldn't you.

[Brady]

Did Forrest open Bubba Gumps? He did, yeah.

[John]

Yeah. Because McKelty was killed.

[Brady]

No, I know that. But did he open a restaurant? I think that just came after.

[John]

No, he did the shrimp and company, Right?

[Brady]

Bubba Gump. That's right. But the restaurant was.

[John]

Restaurant had nothing.

[Brady]

Yeah. That was just a couple of entrepreneurs getting permission.

[John]

You'd throw an invite, hey, we're gonna do this grand opening of the first one. Would you come out.

[Brady]

Or just assume eventually this dude's coming? Has Tom Hanks ever shown up?

[John]

I think so.

[Brady]

He has. I think you're just making that up.

[John]

Though, right now, because I've only. I've been once.

[HMS Podcast Host]

Hank seems like the type that would.

[John]

Though I think there's a picture of him at the table.

[Brady]

Yep. Bubba Gumps.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

I don't know which Hanks flew all the way to Hawaii and ate it. Bubba Gump.

[John]

I don't know if they're in Florida too. Aren't they? But I don't know.

[Brady]

They're in New York. They're all over the place. But they were in Times Square. I think that's where all the tourist stuff is.

[John]

The only time I went was in Kona.

[Brady]

But just come on. I needed to be formally invited to Bubba Gumps. By what? The high school hostess?

[John]

They dropped the ball on that.

[Brady]

No, they didn't.

[John]

But you're right. No. I'm not invited.

[Brady]

The problem was it would probably call him. Go. Hey, we'd love to have you. And what's the first? Call my agent. You're gonna pay me for that?

[John]

Yeah. Maybe they'll release a thing. Hey, here's the grand opening invite.

[Brady]

I think you're more than welcome. I think he's probably upset that he didn't get any money from it. So he's ignored it. And he could. He didn't have the guts in the interview to just go. Not going to Bubba Gumps. Their food's garbage. Yuck. Anyway. That's it, John. We're all done. You're coming up next. The great John Gordon. Who should never be shunned. If you meet Brady and Brett and John Gordon's there. Quit pushing him out of the way saying, move. Turn him into red corn. That's it. We're done. Larry's coming up next. The excellent adventure is happening at 11 o' clock. He's going to have $3,000 for somebody. Could be you. How about that? Listen to Larry. Find out how it all works. We're done. We will see you guys tomorrow right here in the morning sickness. So.

[John]

It'S not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees.

[Brady]

I have heard enough of this.

[Larry McFeely]
