Some email comes in and says yesterday afternoon I was listening to the podcast and cracking up about how Brett has added the word broad to the listener's vocabulary, which is very true and kind of mine. I used to never say broad. I I not morally against it. I just never was there. But hearing you say it as often as you do, I'm these broads and now I'm doing says it's happened to me too. A few weeks ago, the wife and I were at a D backs game sitting in front of one of those awful Gilbert couples that haven't been let out into the real world for years. As we were leaving, my wife says to me, God, those people behind Us were so annoying. And almost subconsciously I replied back with, yeah, especially the broad. I wanted to give her five across the mouth. Neither of these terms used to be in my vocabulary. And under my breath I said, damn it, Brett, sign Tanner. Nobody named Tanner's calling people broad. That's your fault. Tanner was taking it back.
John Holmberg
I'm taking that word back.
Brett Bogan
That's yours. It's good. Look, when you use it, it has gravitas. There's broads. Great. Again in quotes. Broad. Yeah, I say it sometimes to these broads and it's cuz Brett. Brett has reintroduced the word broad into my life like Sinatra's in the room. The problem is you got too many broads hanging around. And five across the mouth is. That's yours too. You're a big. You're a big influence on people, Brett. Be careful.
John Holmberg
Triumph.
Brett Bogan
Dangerous. What you're up to today is the last day of qualifying for the man cave upgrade. So the word I give you today will be the last one. And then we go into the party of trying to draw up five qualifiers and have them in here on Friday morning. Trying to get Dale Hellestra in here Friday to be the judge for the man cave upgrade for our contest that we have Friday to award one of the five finalists, the entire shebang. The grand prize from our friends over at Prestige Billiards, Twin Peaks Wise coatings and game day men's health. We got prestige giving you the pool table that turns into a ping pong. It's basically the top. You can just take it off and pool table becomes the base of the ping pong table. I got that going at my house. It's awesome. Air hockey table, which I also use as the ping pong thing. Ceramic charcoal smoker that's coming from Prestige Billiards, Twin Peaks throws you a gift card for $200. You got wise coatings. They're going to take care of your garage floor, which means if you don't have a room in the house, you can use your garage, get it coated like a bar floor, and make your man cave the garage. And you'll also get a thousand dollars in game day men's health gift cards. That's pretty awesome. We'll give you the word in a few minutes and that'll be the last chance you get to qualify for this year's man Cave upgrade. And thanks to everybody who's helped out with that, we'll have the word for you in a few minutes.
Brady
Texters are saying that Apple does actually have something to what we were talking About? It's not a kill switch, but it's called a legacy contact. It is someone who can get into your phone, and you've entrusted them, and there's an agreement between them.
Brett Bogan
The power of phone. Yeah, but your. But your wife can still.
Brady
If she's the legacy contest.
Brett Bogan
Well, now you have to give her your code.
Brady
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Holmberg
Or she could put your. Put your phone in your face when you're dead.
Brady
There.
Brett Bogan
That's what.
John Holmberg
See all your goombah pictures, Kyle said.
Brett Bogan
That's right. Going through your goomah pictures. The reason I kept them secret was you. You're not supposed to be doing that. My goomah? That poor lady. She's not even allowed to go to funerals. She's got a mourn in private, and now you're making her life rough. Five across her mouth.
Brady
I was still alive, John. I just did a quick scan on my phone. Thank God for the morning sickness. Do you realize how much data I've just released in the last half hour alone?
Brett Bogan
You're saving your friends.
Dick Toledo
You saved me.
Brett Bogan
No, I saved your friends.
Brady
Yeah, yeah, you're dead.
Brett Bogan
There's no saving you. Your friends are the ones. Whoever you interacted with. That's it. Kyle says, I love this power of phone idea. If phone does monitor your heart, if your heart stops, the phone should immediately lock all your passwords and password codes and shut off. Change to the power of phone password that only you and whomever you've designated as power of phone know and have access to. Facial recognition, fingerprint unlock does nothing. Some crazy ex wife tries to use your dead face to get in there and steal money. It's a good point.
Brady
Does it open if your eyes are closed?
Brett Bogan
Pry open eyes? I've seen cartoons. Toothpicks will do that.
John Holmberg
You see Tom and Jerry, I wonder.
Brett Bogan
Because I wear these metaglasses a lot now. And it'll go through. It'll recognize me when they're sunglasses.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I have certain sunglasses my phone won't recognize, but other sunglasses it does. It's crazy. Yeah.
Brett Bogan
For the most part, it's always grab. My nose is a dead giveaway. There's no way.
Dick Toledo
My phone's like, that's polarization. What's that in the lens?
John Holmberg
Oh, I don't know. Maybe.
Brett Bogan
I don't know. Mine is all about the schnoz. It sees my profile. It's like, that's the dude. Squidward can open my phone and me, and that's about it. But, yeah, you're not protecting yourself. You're protecting the living. Paul Sura. First guy on my list, Doug Fairchild. Second guy on the list, terrible texts we send back and forth to each other. I mean, just. I mean every category that can be offended is offended. It is a no holds barred nightmare. Broomhead over there, he's got a few that like we dabble in that are probably job creation killers.
Brady
And that's a bad thing because you have friends that keep those memes and the jokes forever. Like you said, you. Yours deletes after 14 days. Whoever you got that stuff to may not do that.
Brett Bogan
Exactly. Protect the living and call it the. The Brian Breeze act since his wife called me based on her going through his phone finding context. Luckily, Brian and I weren't.
Richard Karn
And you said it was his ex wife.
Brett Bogan
His ex wife. They've been. They're like best friends. Are they? Oh, they've been divorced for years. Let's. Let's not let this. Let's. Let's let him live forever in our protective hearts.
Brady
You said you had Chuck's last text for a long time too, didn't you?
Brett Bogan
I had. Ralphie's last text was no treat. Chuck's last text was just garbled. It was just a bunch of letters. He was like not there. And he text me over blurdy, blur, blur, blurt. Ralphie's last text was. I think he was mad at his Jewish wife. And he said something about Hitler being right.
Tanner
Pretty sure Hitler had a point. After dealing with this broad.
Brett Bogan
He said broad a lot and I started laughing hysterically. And then we made a couple jokes back and forth and that was pretty much the end of it. And then he died. And I'm like, well, these are Ralphie's last words to me. And appropriately so. Anyway, it's time now for the Brady Report. It's brought to. It's eight o' clock, guys. Give them the word. So I'll give it to him. Okay, we'll do this first. Okay. The brave reports brought to you by our friends at all pro shade concepts. The shade is necessary now. You can get that done. You can get the manual ones, you get the motorized options. And that's good for monsoons which are popping up here because when the wind blows, they self correct. When the wind starts blowing, they suck themselves back in so you don't have a big mess out there with awnings. You ever try to pull an umbrella out of a pool? Worst, worst day of your life. It's horrible. And plus it can fly through the air and kill someone. These shades don't do that. The wind starts going like, oh, let's retract. It's an amazing technology on top of the fact that the shade that it provides blocks 95% of the UV rays, which are the ones you want out, cuts out the dust, drops the temps about 20 degrees. It's a beautiful thing. All you got to do is go to allprochade.com and get shady at your house immediately. Brady reported.
Dick Toledo
Good Wednesday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world.
Brett Bogan
Hi.
Dick Toledo
Happy National German Chocolate Cake Day.
Brett Bogan
Okay.
Dick Toledo
And National Corn on the Cob Day.
Brett Bogan
It's a weird combination.
Dick Toledo
I like how the National Corn on the Cobb Day says the next line says, some call it corn stick, others go with sweet pole.
Brett Bogan
No one said either of those.
Dick Toledo
I've never heard those.
Brett Bogan
Horn stick. I'm not friends with you immediately, you Kentucky hillbilly. Put your burlap shoes on and get out of my house.
Dick Toledo
You having some corn sticks?
Brady
Go into Eric's family barbecue today and ask for a corn stick.
Brett Bogan
What kind of rube calls it a corn stick? That's today's word. One word. Cornstick. I'll change it. Never mind. Corn stick for the dude in the Mountain Dew cans in the 70s. That's the. Like hillbillies think that's hillbilly. I was in West Virginia for two years of my life and formative years, and I never heard the word cornstick. And if you're going to hear it, that's the place you get yourself a grill full of corn stick. No corn on the cob. Everyone calls it that. What was the other thing? Corn.
Dick Toledo
Sweet pole.
Brett Bogan
Pole. P O L E. P O L.
Dick Toledo
E. Well, they say that at Katie Cabin.
Brett Bogan
A sweet pole. Yeah. That's different now since the rainbow movement. Yeah. Katie KB has sweet pull at noon every day. It's a feature.
Dick Toledo
A couple of basis fun facts. Dolphins have bromances where two or three males, they may pair up for decades and help each other hook up with females. Or wingman for decades.
Brett Bogan
Dolphins have wingmen. How about that?
Dick Toledo
Can of Coke is 90% water. A can of Diet Coke is 99 water.
Brett Bogan
Is that right? So I'm getting all the water I need and then some. Cheers. Thanks, Coke. Mm.

Horrible.
Brady
I didn't mind Wheaties.
Dick Toledo
Grape Nuts.
Brett Bogan
Grape Nuts is bad.
Brady
Drizzle a little honey on the Wheaties.
Brett Bogan
Wheaties they sold to kids though. Grape Nuts was always for old people who can't poop.
Brady
I don't know about selling. Break your teeth Saturday afternoon.
Dick Toledo
Yes, they did.
Brett Bogan
Everybody on there was a.
Dick Toledo
You're thinking of something else.
Brett Bogan
No way.
John Holmberg
Michael Jordan was on there.
Brett Bogan
Wheaties was for kids. They like tried to get kids interested in Wheaties. Wheaties was the Europe Jenner. What were they?
Dick Toledo
The breakfast of champions?
Brett Bogan
That wasn't for adults. That was all to lure kids into eating Wheaties. They were just little flakes of wet cardboard.

Dick Toledo

Brett Bogan
Maybe later. Wheaties when I was a kid was first.
Brady
I think total came after.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
So Wheaties had all the heroes on the box.
Dick Toledo
Special kids.
Brett Bogan
Special K is for adults because. And they make it that because it's old people eating. In the commercial. Wheaties was trying to make Eat your Wheaties. They'd say it to kids all the time.
Brady
All brand.
John Holmberg
That's old people stuff.
Brett Bogan
I'm talking about like cereals that were. Cereals that were targeted for kids. Wheaties is the worst. Cheerios wasn't good either. You had to add to it.
Brady
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
A town in Pennsylvania called Millersburg launched a pothole fixing program called Fill my Hole.
Brett Bogan
Hmm.
Dick Toledo
And their announcement, they said, fill my hole program makes it easy for residents to report potholes electronically so they can be taken care of. They had that. All holes. No waiting. Although they also said some holes may require a little more tlc.
Brett Bogan
Some holes are bigger than others.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
What? Or what?
Brady
You're seeing the truck driving down the road.
Brett Bogan
Oh, yeah. No, we know.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Brady's puns. We skipped it.
John Holmberg
He's pissed at us now.
Tanner
Damn it.
Brett Bogan
Pricks. Stupid corn sticks. 97936. The word is corn sticks. Yeah.
Brady
All one word.
Brett Bogan
All one word.
Richard Karn
Not plural.
Brady
All one word.
Brett Bogan
Cornsticks.
Richard Karn
Stop with the s. Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Don't put a period or an exclamation or emoji of corn.
Dick Toledo
Some people were surveyed and were asked the question, do you think your boss actually understands what you do? In a typical day, almost half of the people surveyed said no. 46% of the people in the poll said their boss or manager rarely or only somewhat understands their contributions at work.
Brett Bogan
That's your fault. Gotta show out.
Brady
Does the boss need to know exactly everyone's role?
Dick Toledo
Yeah. 43% say they get feedback from their boss. That doesn't really line up with the work they've done.
Brett Bogan
You don't like when the boss goes, so what is it you do here? Like that's a bad thing in that context. Yeah. What is. What is your job here? Like, especially. You've been here for a while. Like, what do you do here?
Brady
Like Thriller.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, poor Thriller. And that was all because of. Nobody wanted to talk to him because it was. You thought you'd break a rule.
Brady
You've been here 10 years.
Brett Bogan
10 years what? Never even got a birthday wish through the company birthday emails, which he should be on some list, him and John Gordon. John Gordon too.
Brady
And he's not even like, cripple text on Friday said, hey, congratulations for making the company birthday.
Brett Bogan
It's on the wall. The worst part is, is the girl that puts the birthday lists out has a reminder on her wall by her desk of all the birthdays that are coming up. And she. She writes it herself. And Thriller was never on it because he's crippled. Only reason.
John Holmberg
Emily's gonna kill you.
Brett Bogan
Good. It's so true though. I even went down. I'm like, you wouldn't even. You wouldn't even. I don't know him. I'm like, you don't know half people you do birthdays for. You've done everybody but him. How long? I don't know. How long has he been here? 10 years. Poor kid's never gotten a hair.
Brady
Maybe longer than you.
Brett Bogan
And then. And it's real easy when people go, which one's Corey? Like, you know, you know, Cory. Oh, that kid. We're allowed to talk to him? Well, probably he thinks I haven't done it, but, yeah, I think so. Once we open the door, the kid won't shut up. Like all he's doing is waiting for some friends.
Brady
Waiting.
Richard Karn
Yay.
Brett Bogan
Waddling around here for 10 years, waiting for somebody to go, what's your story?
Dick Toledo
Match just released its 14th annual singles in America report. And the found the big Trend is using AI to help land dates. 26% of singles are doing it.
Brett Bogan
How?
Brady
Writing profiles or.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, creating a AI. And then they'll run questions through them. They'll help them with answer questions. Certain questions. It says one in six have used the AI in the fill in romantic companion part of it.
Brett Bogan
Boy. Boy. What?
Brady
Jeez, it's.
Brett Bogan
You're. You're going to disappoint someone greatly. Man, I saw a thing yesterday, it was so cool. Somebody sent me of a lady, she was a news lady standing in floodwater and she said, I'm Cynthia, blah, blah, blah. And I'm at, you know, and the floodwater has reached. I'm like, where's it flooding? Like, that's weird. I didn't even hear about this. And there's like, stuff going on. And then she said, and by the way, this isn't real. And then a shark ate her. And I'm like, oh, my God, old people are going to go crazy in a couple of years. This is.
Richard Karn
I saw one like that.
Brady
That was from Canada. Mom, dad, U.S. did not invade Canada. What you're seeing. And it showed the AI version of all that. This is not real. He sends it to you. It's.
Brett Bogan
I was in. I'm like, wow, it's flooding in South Carolina. This is the real news story. I was totally in. And a shark just jumps out of the floodwater and eats her. And I'm like, oh, I would have completely bought that this morning.
Dick Toledo
Looking and on Instagram and the girl, basically, it's like, you see these people with alligators.
Brett Bogan
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
You know, training. Well, this is a shark. Oh, that's a good boy. And the.
Brett Bogan
I know immediately that great white.
Richard Karn
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, I would.
Dick Toledo
She's up there up to the mug, you know, like giving it a kiss. At first you think, oh, that looks. It's real.
Brett Bogan
No, I don't.
Dick Toledo
It's not.
Brett Bogan
No, of course not. Yeah. Not a lot of shark kissing going on. Even in the train sharks.
Richard Karn
The Canada War one was a lot.
Brady
Of people in the military sending it to their parents.
Brett Bogan
We are.
Brady
We have not been deployed.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. Old people are gonna. This is not a world for old people. Like, it's a way to delete them.
Dick Toledo
The last thing in this match poll, 40% said having an AI boyfriend, a girlfriend does count as cheating.
Brady
Wow.
Brett Bogan
Depends on how far you take it.
Brady
We're also getting lots of emails in about corn sticks.
Brett Bogan
Yeah.
Brady
Says Jesus Christ.
Dick Toledo
Pop Pop.
Brady
A corn stick is cornbread baked into the shape of an ear of corn. There's pans that make it that way. That's called a corn stick.
Brett Bogan
I thought it was a corn on the cob. According to.
Dick Toledo
That's what it says from the national.
Brett Bogan
People called it corn sticks.
Brady
More than 1 are saying those pans that have the ears of corn shape are corn sticks when you make cornbread in them.
Brett Bogan
So you make cornbread shaped like corn on the cob.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Okay. I've never heard of that hillbilly nonsense either. So anyway, isn't your trailer on fire? You should probably just move back to Missouri. It's the 11th of June. You've probably used up all your Internet juice.
Dick Toledo
So anyone have a corn stick mold?
John Holmberg
No.
Brett Bogan
No, I'm not a rube. They don't sell those at William and Sonoma, do they? Then I don't have it. Oh, tractor supply store, maybe. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Pottery Barn.
Brett Bogan
No way. Corn sticks. I don't think they have a rube section there. Never heard of it. There's a. I'm from Indiana and I've never heard of corn stick. That's. Come on.
Dick Toledo
There's a new type of cremation for people that Remember in Sweden 10 years ago, they freeze dry.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, it's pretty neat.
Dick Toledo
This one is in the UK and it's getting final approval. They call it boil in a bag where bodies are liquefied and flushed down a drain.
Brett Bogan
Oh. With acid, like in Breaking Bad.
Dick Toledo
They use alkaline water and they basically liquefy the body.
Brett Bogan
Wow.
Dick Toledo
Dissolves it.
Brett Bogan
That's kind of crazy. Flush you.
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah. That just flushes the.
Brett Bogan
Where's this at?
Dick Toledo
Mains in the uk.
Brett Bogan
Why is it controversial? Says it's disrespectful. But if the guy wants water.
Dick Toledo
Cremation consists of using water and alkaline chemicals at high temperature to rapidly decompose a corpse.
Brett Bogan
And then we just get dumped in the water.
Dick Toledo
Bodies loaded into a pressure vessel that we're looking at right there. The containing the corrosive liquid. It's heated up to around 160 degrees.
Brett Bogan
That's it.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
These boil up and then turn into liquid and they.
Dick Toledo
This leaves liquid known as effluent.
John Holmberg
Man, this is cool.
Brett Bogan
That is cool.
Brady
I'd like this alkaline water, don't we. We drink it like bottled water.
Brett Bogan
Good for you. Good for your digestion, your esophagus.
Brady
Yeah, they're just softening us up.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. Just get mushed up. You can boil the bones, you know.
Dick Toledo
I mean, think about just laying something in. Water in general, like the body.
Brett Bogan
It starts to get gross.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
But the bones stay for the most part. Yeah. This evidently liquefies the bones because of the stuff. That's neat. I think. I like that. I like that. Instead.
Dick Toledo
When it's done the. It resembles tea or an ale. The color of it.
John Holmberg
It's a sailbilly Sonoma brown.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
That's not Sonoma Williams cornstick pan. You did not find these on a cracker barrel.
Brady
This is an antique one. Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. That's from the 1800s.
Brady
You want an official?
Brett Bogan
Well, they don't have them at Cratenville. There's no way Corn stick or William Sonoma Corn Stick molds.
Brady
I'll find.
Brett Bogan
Redneckery at its peak.
Dick Toledo
40 year old man in Kentucky named Jonathan Mason was arrested for releasing a wild raccoon into a bar. He allegedly he did it because he got thrown out of the bar.

Brett Bogan
Homburg's morning sickness.
Dick Toledo
The raccoon did bite someone inside, right?
Brett Bogan
It's not the raccoon's fault. He was put into a position of defending itself.
Dick Toledo
But they said it'll be okay.
Brady
Destroy the operator.
Brett Bogan
Think about it. He was in. He was in the trash, minding his own business and some drunk picked him up and threw him into a crowded bar. He's like, guys, I don't know what's going on.
Dick Toledo
The police said they're familiar with this guy who's known as Cowboy Cody. Back in December, he was liquored up. He rode a mule into a liquor store. The mule was taken away by the police. Then a few days later, Jonathan was hammered again and unsuccessfully tried to retake the mule. Arrested again.
Brett Bogan
I'm gonna make kind of a judgment call here. If you're known as Cowboy Cody, you're probably an alcoholic. And if you're not, you've got a chip in your pocket that says how long you haven't. But it's tough on you. And I'm also going to say you have one felony conviction. @ least if you're Cowboy Cody. There's one time you've been. You've sat down for a little bit. Old Cowboy Cody had to take a break. Yeah, there's not no Cowboy Cody's out there that are teetotalers, and I am your accountant. What's your name? They call me Cowboy Cody. Like, oh, I'm leaving. Who calls you that? My friends in aa.
Dick Toledo
Just the handful of bars in that neighborhood are like, here he comes. How do we. We kick him out. We're going to pay for it.
Brett Bogan
You don't get to nickname like Cowboy Cody without being trouble. Here comes Cowboy Cody. And then he goes and grabs a. Look, first off, he was too drunk to be in a bar, but he caught a wild raccoon. That dude gets amped up on alcohol, and they had to kick him out. And then he comes running back in and throws wildlife into the bar. And that. That's a visual. That's because he was too drunk to stay. I'll show you my name ain't Cowboy Cody.
Brady
Do raccoons scream a growl?
Brett Bogan
He didn't have a plan, by the way. Cowboy Cody didn't leave the bar with a plan. I'm gonna get him back somehow. Wait a minute. What's that over there in the garbage?
Richard Karn
Come here.
Brett Bogan
Come on here, baby. And that's not the first raccoon he's ever picked up. And then he threw it in the bar.
Tanner
Cowboy Cody's revenge.
Brett Bogan
Poor raccoons. Like, what the hell's going on? It starts biting anybody. As I get that raccoon out of here. I don't want to be here either. Show me the door.
Dick Toledo
You don't serve me.
Brett Bogan
Serve this.
Brady
Yeah, he absolutely yelled something like, yeah.
Brett Bogan
That was a dumb thing. He said, if I ain't eaten, nobody's eating. Cowboy Cody is never an upstanding citizen. And we owe it all to our CEO, Cowboy Cody. It's never been said, step on up here, Cody. Come on up here, Cowboy Cody. You've just won another award.
Dick Toledo
What's hilarious is when he walk rides in on the mule in the liquor bar. They take the mule away.
Brady
No, no, you can't hit him.
Brett Bogan
You know, I feel sorry for most in this story is not the raccoon. It's the mule owned by Cowboy Cody. Because you know that mule's gonna get.
Dick Toledo
Back on it and ride it again.
Brett Bogan
He climbs on that mule. He's like another dui. Really? Cowboy Cody.
Brady
God damn it, Rusty. Let's go.
Brett Bogan
Rusty. Take me to that bar. Cowboy Cody's mule is like. Needs Xanax. He's depressed. I'm cowboy. This is my neighbor, Cowboy Cody. Bad neighborhood. Not one good Cowboy Cody exists.
Dick Toledo
Wendy's has done another collaboration. This is a sweet collab here, John.
Brett Bogan
All right.
Dick Toledo
The Baconator goes into Cheez itself.
Brett Bogan
What?
Dick Toledo
Baconator Cheez Its how available.
Brett Bogan
The Cheez. It tastes like a full burger. I guess so a bite of a bacon.
Dick Toledo
Bacon. Probably bacon and cheese dominated. I don't know if you'll get so much.
Brady
You know what this is?
Brett Bogan
Well, then why have the big picture of the double pattied Baconator? Just say bacon and cheese. Cheese.
Brady
It's getting rid of all their flavoring. That RFK just banned.
Brett Bogan
So they're coming. They've got tons of it.
Brady
They're putting it all out.
Brett Bogan
And I'll get two months. Guys, we got to figure this out. So much of that red powder.
John Holmberg
Some thriller to pick us some up. Let's check this out.
Brett Bogan
Well, it'll take months.
John Holmberg
It'll be banned by then.
Brett Bogan
Cheez it Baconators.
Dick Toledo
And on the back of the. Brady could do it between storage cheese at Baconators. On the back of the box is a $2 coupon for the actual Baconator.
Brady
Oh, no.
Brett Bogan
So when you're not. When you're done with a box of the flavor.
Brady
Sorry, Ronnie. Better clear out some space in the pantry.
Tanner
Brady Bogan. They call where I am heaven. But you just told me it's back down here on earth. When is it available to the general public? Because me is.
Dick Toledo
I'm going now, Ralphie.
Tanner
It's out there right now. Get in my dead belly. Oh, my God, Brady, that is amazing. Next thing you know, it's like all of them are gonna tell. Like you'll reach in like jelly bellies and each one will have a flavor.
Dick Toledo
Let's go get some.
Tanner
Let's go get a whole bunch of them. This one tastes like a Baconator. This one tastes like a big Montana. Sometimes they're not winners. Oh, my God. Cheez. Its full box of baconators. It's every man's dream.
Dick Toledo
Mini Baconator.
Tanner
Eat a baby dick, buddy. Bye.
Dick Toledo
I got some pretty videos.
Brady
Hang on now. I just want you to add to.
Brett Bogan
Your story about Cowboy Cody.
Brady
There's his mug.
Brett Bogan
There's Cowboy Cody. That's pretty much exactly it. That's exactly what I pictured him look like. Also very comfortable with the mug shot. Kind of a smile.
Dick Toledo
One's last recovery.
Brett Bogan
That's right now. Yeah. There's his other mug shot from 2024. Cowboy Cody's been in that room a few times. And the promotion goes to. Well, this is no surprise to anyone, Cowboy Cody. Never, ever, ever. If you're. If you're called Cowboy Cody, reassess your whole life, I'm gonna nickname you Cowboy Cody. Oh, you're done.
Dick Toledo
That is a perfect.
Brett Bogan
He's a Confederate soldier come to life in 2025.
Richard Karn
Grew his hair out a little bit this year.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, I let it go a little bit. Cowboy Cody gets more ladies when he's got more on top.
Brady
Is it rusty that get you the ladies there?
Brett Bogan
The donkey don't hurt. Got myself a mule like Wing Mule. It's the Ferrari of the Appalachian. Oh, my God.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Any who you hop on the back of my mule. Let me take you back to Cowboy Cody's lair.
Tanner
How many felonies you got now, Cowboy Cody?
Brett Bogan
How many fingers you got? Not enough. Hey, that's how many felonies I got. Eight. You got eight?
Brady
Always room for one.
Brett Bogan
I ain't done yet. They say never count your money at the table. I say that. Never count your felonies while you're still sucking on Earth's air, Cowboy Cody. The minute you're that. This is why your nickname, World Brady is to me ridiculous. Because it's never given to a guy legitimately. Your dad Torp. The only guy with a nickname I've ever known that wasn't a ne' er do. Well, and then we found out later that he helped with the Cuban revolution.
Brady
So maybe we know that there's.
Brett Bogan
There was a lot of stories.
Brady
Brady ignored code with that.
Brett Bogan
And your uncle.
Dick Toledo
Which one?
Brady
Uncle Jack.
Brett Bogan
Backdoor Jack. Yeah. That I didn't. His nickname was Ruff, too, but at least I'm honest with mine. Drunkle Dennis, Drunkle Doug, they're all the same. Not Drunkle Donnie. No, he's the one who's like. He learned from his brothers.
Dick Toledo
First one's a woman trying to basically film herself mounting her house. Yeah. Her horse. And it gets interrupted.
Brett Bogan
Okay. She's standing next to her horse. She's getting a saddle. Is that called tacking? Here comes a dog. Ah, Dog just pees on the camera. She's filming herself, and the dog just peed right in the lens. She's got what technically happens to a lot of ladies. They get horse butt. They hang around horses long enough, their asses start getting like horses. It's weird. Look at the size of that thing. And she's tiny.
Brady
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Now we got a good throw down at the nail salon.
Brett Bogan
All right. What? Oh, it's. Oh, it's a black weave. Oh, it's a weaving. How bad did this manicure go? This is a full on melee and nobody's getting up. Everybody else just continues their. Oh, it's a sound.
Dick Toledo
She's gone.
Brady
Angel Reese is kicking ass.
Brett Bogan
Stop. Caitlyn Clark asked for the wrong color. Jesus. Station 6 is closed. No tip for you today.
Tanner
You said I could punch with my nails. That's how strong you are.
Brett Bogan
I'll prove it.
Dick Toledo
Now we got another knockout. This is a police policeman. That's the woman.
Brett Bogan
Woman just took a swing at a cop. Oh, a left. Oh. And then a man, a cop sucker punches her. Oh. Shirley Hemphill from what's his angry.
Brady
Oh, my God.
Brett Bogan
And then what was his name in police academy? The big dude played for the cowboys.
John Holmberg
Bubba Smith.
Brady
Right.
Brett Bogan
Bubba Smith. He shows up out of nowhere.
Dick Toledo
Hightower.
Brett Bogan
Meanwhile, Jonah Hill takes two punches to the face. And then Hightower closes the door, hits that woman as hard as he can. Oh, boy.
Dick Toledo
Now we got street boxing. Yeah, I got a little theme now.
John Holmberg
What's going on here?
Brett Bogan
Spending some urban. These guys have gloves on. They're fighting. Oh, he just. He buckled. Now there's c. My God, there's cussing. He bent a kid backwards with one punch. Flamingoed him. Oh, my goodness.
John Holmberg
But, you know, at least they're doing that instead of breaking out the guns and stuff. That's just settling it this way.
Brady
Wow.
Brett Bogan
Hey, wow.
Brady
It's true.
Brett Bogan
Hey, he says it's true.
John Holmberg
You didn't see it on op Live.
Brett Bogan
You might learn that was Brett said the more, you know, moments. Hey, you know, it could have been worse there in South Chicago. At least they didn't. You can't pull a trigger with boxing gloves on. That's what I always say. Good thing. Put the gloves on and knock each other out.

Morning sickness. Oh, here's Brady.
Dick Toledo
This last one's for you, John. Yesterday.
Brett Bogan
It's a hippopotamus at some sort of zoo situation. There's a big crowd. Oh, they pixelated it. Farts and throws out so much. Is it. Oh, come on. Is it dung flinging them?
Dick Toledo
I don't know. I don't think it's flinging. It's just pure gas.
Brett Bogan
Why pixelate the gas? Because it's Japan. Maybe it's. Is that legit.
John Holmberg
Way in there?
Dick Toledo
Oh, it's real.
Brett Bogan
Real stupid.
Brady
Sorry, I. I dropped the ball. I should.
Dick Toledo
Come on. Hippo farts are funny.
Brady
Should have censored that one.
Brett Bogan
You know how I know that's not real? The dude with the camera doesn't move. Everybody else runs away. A hippo turns and aims its ass at you. The crowd's going to move. That's an additional. I know. He's on the side, everybody. That's the stupidest one you've ever.
Dick Toledo
He's got the Lysol.
Brett Bogan
Well, that's the dumbest one. Yeah. Good luck topping that hippo High bar today. There you go.
Tanner
He had a lot of pumpkin that day.
Brett Bogan
Is there a video of him feeding pumpkins to them?
Brady
Brady?
Dick Toledo
No.
Brett Bogan
There's no video. You doing that?
Dick Toledo
No. Are you sure, Lettuce?
Brett Bogan
No. I watched a pumpkin in the mouth of a hippo.
Brady
That hippo you got up in there.
Brett Bogan
Where you're like, oh, I watched him do it. There is video lettuce. I don't know. It was a pumpkin, which I've been making fun of the whole time. I'm like, they don't make pumpkin. And you laughed because you were chucking pumpkins into these wide open, gaping mouths of hippos. I saw it. So there's video out there somewhere, and we should scrub that, too. An interest of Tex Zoo Mom. Powerful. No, no, no. It's got to be deleted because I don't think you're supposed to feed them that.
Dick Toledo
Zoom. Mom just texted in.
Brett Bogan
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Oh, my God. I'm dying Over Cowboy Cody.
Brett Bogan
Cowboy Cody's funny. Yeah, Cowboy Cody is. She probably knew a cowboy code.
Brady
I was just gonna say she's got.
Richard Karn
A new worker that's like Cowboy Christie.
Brett Bogan
Doesn'T have a guy. She gets on the intercom every once in a while. Cowboy Cody, we've got a cleanup in the hippo tank.
Brady
I'm on it.
Dick Toledo
Cowboy Cody comes over on a mule.
Brett Bogan
Does she have mules out there with Cowboy Cody?
Brady
There you go.
Brett Bogan
I rode the zebra over here to the hippo. Neither of them seem happy about it.
Dick Toledo
Zebra didn't expect me.
Brett Bogan
Zebra did not expect me to take him over to hippo territory. But I got my shovel, I got my zebra. Boy, they're a lot more cantankerous than those mule is. Cowboy Cody. What is it now, Christy, we want.
Tanner
To make you CEO of the zoo.
Brett Bogan
Again. How many CEO positions can one man have?
Dick Toledo
He's gonna run the bar out there.
Brett Bogan
By the way you guys been saying, Cowboy Cody, I want you to put a little respect on it. It's Cowboy CO Cody, Esquire. That's right. I'm a lawyer. I'm your lawyer. Cowboy Cody, representing the murderer today. Cowboy Cody, you're going to jail forever. Brett, what do you got? All right, the hell you say. The hell you say. Your Honor. Peterson v. California. That one. Her head just fell off.
Brady
Sir, you know case law.
Brett Bogan
Of course. I'm an esquire, not just the magazine.
John Holmberg
Start off a little karma here.
Brett Bogan
Okay, Taiwanese guy hanging off the back of him open when they road rage on the moped. And the driver of the moped throws his coke at the car next to him and runs into a parked car. There are two very.
Brady
There's the phone.
Brett Bogan
But you know what's funny is that's a moped. And that whatever nation that is. That sucks. Those guys are so small. There's two people in a moped, and they don't look like they're overpowering the moped, they're so small.
John Holmberg
All right, next, some hot dogging for.
Brett Bogan
Brady guy popping wheelies. He's a grown up. Doing a wheelie. That's never good. Oh, here comes an oncoming car. Oh, my grown ups. And wheelies are always bad.
Dick Toledo
The person in the car has no choice.
Brett Bogan
He was kind of like, what am I gonna do? Yeah, this idiot can't see me because he's popping a wheelie. He's a grown up.
John Holmberg
All right, wheelies. Talk about, this guy needs to go to Vegas tonight, okay?
Brett Bogan
He's standing next to a cop. Is standing next to A car in the freeway. Been an accident right in the middle of the freeway. Cars are whizzing by very fast. He goes to the passenger side of the car that's sideways on the freeway. Wow. And a car get. Oh, two cars hit. The cop just stands in the V of the whole thing. Oh, he's. Jesus. He's Barry Sanders on the freeway trying.
Richard Karn
To get someone out.
John Holmberg
Yeah, there was somebody in there.
Richard Karn
There's three people leaving the road on the other side.
Brett Bogan
No one in this state. Respect the blue and reds that were flashing.
John Holmberg
I mean, you could see somebody in the front there.
Brett Bogan
Everybody's still at top speed, but who.
Richard Karn
Who goes running across the road?
Brett Bogan
Who in the world is going.
John Holmberg
There's another wreck over here.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, that's the rest of the accident.
Brady
Okay.
Dick Toledo
Boom.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, there they go. But it's like 65 miles an hour. Nobody's slowing down. And there's a. Clearly his lights are on. Wow.
Dick Toledo
Yeah. Those guys are flying. Look at that. The man hard. The first hit.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. It took off and he bounced into the side.
Dick Toledo
Look like there's flames coming out of there.
Brett Bogan
Well, that's not good.
John Holmberg
I don't know what this one is.
Brett Bogan
What is that?
Dick Toledo
It's like a sharpening thing, and it sparks.
Brett Bogan
Asian guy shooting sparks into another Asian guy's eyes with some sort of weird.
Richard Karn
I think that's how you fix it.
Brett Bogan
I think that's the knife sharpeners. And then he pours water on his eyes and gets more new spark shot into his face.
Dick Toledo
The thing they do in the spas.
Brett Bogan
Isn't this. Isn't this the thing that the. That you can reach into hot water in certain nations and remember that thing where.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Those fingers dipping into the hot grease.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Bogan
Maybe their faces do it, too.
Dick Toledo
It's the training, I guess.
Brett Bogan
It's the. The culture.
John Holmberg
Look at this broad.
Brett Bogan
Oh, God. Oh, Jesus, Brett. God damn it.
John Holmberg
She'd win at the state fair.
Richard Karn
Oh, my God.
Brett Bogan
Oh, my God. All right, I'll give the. I'll give the. Play by play. Here we go. So lady with her bird up, she's shooting cans off the top of a trash can with her peace stream. And her pee stream is strong. 25 miles an hour.
Dick Toledo
That's a half inch.
Brett Bogan
I'd have to put a thumb over a hose at my house to make that kind of thing happen. Happen.
John Holmberg
And then this. I don't know.
Brett Bogan
Cowboy Cody's wife.
John Holmberg
I think we've never seen this one before.
Brady
That was cowboy.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. Okay. What the. It's two ladies, butt to butt or no, wait, that's. Dude, what is that? That's a man on the bottom, and he's got himself.
John Holmberg
I think it's a. I think it's a toy.
Brett Bogan
And there's a toy in the. The dude's butt. Or it's in both of them. And she's bouncing around and the. The toy is hanging out of the guy's butt. And then she's riding.
Dick Toledo
Push me.
Brett Bogan
Pull you to the theme to Jeopardy.
Brady
I'm sorry, Alex Trebek.
John Holmberg
And we'll end with that.
Brett Bogan
Why is Jeopardy. What they're doing?
Dick Toledo
I don't know.
Brett Bogan
Because everybody's in it.
Dick Toledo
Is that the daily double?
Brett Bogan
Yeah, I guess that was the daily double. That's what we'll say. The video daily double. All right. Hot diggity. What a day, this mucinex. I'm telling you what. I want to meet Cowboy Cody. I want to. I want to put him in charge of something.
Brady
Should we fly him out, everybody?
Brett Bogan
The new morning show at KSLX is now the Cowboy Cody Show. I would listen to that every day. You need to hire a Cowboy Cody. They always looking for new talent in radio. Let's start going through these crazy stories and hiring them to do morning shows. It's like having Hawk to a girl. Couple weeks, Cowboy Cody's out of stories. We put in a new nut bag.
Dick Toledo
You might get a week out of.
John Holmberg
Cowboys five years ago.
Brett Bogan
Who.
John Holmberg
When that. Wild Bill or something like that. Way back in the day.
Dick Toledo
Traffic guys.
John Holmberg
No, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Brett Bogan
Was he.
John Holmberg
I'll have to ask Larry about it.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. Radio nicknames are different. Those guys are trying to have nicknames that sound fun, but.
John Holmberg
No, he was. He was kind of a Cowboy Cody. Drunk guy and everything else.
Brett Bogan
Yeah, it was. It was Ray that was the engine.
John Holmberg
No, not him. We could bring in Ray to do mornings.
Brett Bogan
Oh, yeah. People, would you just shut your radio off and hug your kids?
Dick Toledo
You want Ray in the over.
Brett Bogan
I'm so sorry.
John Holmberg
Oh, I seen him many times because that's when he'd come in to do work.
Brett Bogan
Hey, Brad. Hey. Hey, Engineer Ray.
Dick Toledo
You're in that closet.
Brett Bogan
Yeah. If your job is your first name. Hey, Engineer Ray. Like, that's when people don't respect you anymore. I. Construction guy Rick. Like, they know that you're about to do something stupid.
Brady
Guy texted in and says, jesus, you're killing me, man. I grew up in Kentucky and had a Cowboy Kenny.
Brett Bogan
Yeah.
Brady
Him and his brothers would drive around town and we all called him Dim, Dimmer and Blackout.
Brett Bogan
Yep. He can't help It. Especially if you meet him. Hi, what's your name? Cody, but I like to be called, like, oh, he. He's reveling in it. But I prefer he wades in his nickname. He's trouble. Nobody wants a nickname because it's usually something stupid and a felony is involved. Especially if your mode of transportation is a mule. If you're riding a mule right now and going, I got my pods in listening to the show, and I'm a mule driver. All right, you'll never hear from that guy. But I guess he bets he's got a dumb nickname. Remember for years we had, like, 14 listeners named Iron Maiden Mike? Oh, yeah, and like, two of them kind of similar. We're all a little bit like molds, somewhat suspect. And then one grew up and say, hey, it's Iron Maid Mike. I just go by Mike now. Yeah, because you're an adult, because you got a good job and you're a decent human being. Now you figured out that you've dropped it. That was the anchor that was holding you back from all the promotions.
Brady
How many pool guys did you have that were iron?
Brett Bogan
Well, mine was a big dog. Big dog. He wants to come in here anyway. What are you gonna do? By the way, Cracker Barrel sells cornstick pants. I said that already and I took a guess. They're cast iron and they're only good for burning cornbread and throwing at tweakers in your trailer park. Yeah, I agree with that.
Richard Karn
It's a Frisbee.
Brett Bogan
If you have a corn stick mold for your, you're officially at the rock bottom. It's time to start life over. Put the little piece of tinfoil you're about to smoke off of down and start life new. If you said. If you've ever said, mmm, corn sticks, you're a hillbilly and it's time to start over. It's 8:35. There you go, everybody. That is your Brady report. The word today to text 97936. Cornstick. It's 98 Kupda. Okay, you P.D. holmberg's morning sickness. Got a few more minutes to text the word corn stick.
John Holmberg
Was it corn sticks or corn sticks?
Brett Bogan
Go sticks. Corn sticks. You're right. Throw the S on there. Make more of them. Who can stop at one? Brett, Corn sticks. For all you rubes out there, you could possibly.
Dick Toledo
Corn stick.
Brett Bogan
No S. You have to stop at one. I thought he added the S. That's right. Corn stick. I thought it was S's too. No ass Cornstick. If you haven't Done it by now. If it comes back wrong, try both ways. I don't know, but cornstick. For all the cowboy Cody's out there who know what the hell that is. I'm today years old learning what a cornstick is, and I think everybody in the room is joining me. You're from the Midwest? You're from the Midwest. Heard of it? You've never heard of corn stick?
Dick Toledo
No.
Brett Bogan
But it's corn on the cob day and German chocolate, this guy says. I was in Fargo, North Dakota, in the dead of winter at my son's hockey tournament. At the bar of the hotel, enjoying a few with other parents, we noticed a guy walk in dressed up like John Wayne. If he could have, he would have had someone toss a tumbleweed and a gust of dust across the bar as he walked up. I swear, if I looked, pretty sure I'd have found the tags on the costume, the boots, the hat, the spurs, even the ascot. Whole nine yards. Walks to us with his head down and slowly looks up to reveal his eyes from under the brim of his hat. And he says, yellow. I'm Fargo Jeff.
Dick Toledo
Oh, man.
Brett Bogan
Wish I could say I was messing around. But it quickly became obvious that he believed he might be John Wayne. And it was an entertaining night. We all played into his fantasy. Next night, we're down there again, and sure as it happens, Fargo Jeff makes another appearance. This time there's some legit locals there, and they didn't take his shtick at all. Ended up taking him outside just to found out how much cowboy Fargo Jeff had in him. Unfortunately, the cops showed up and ended up ruining the entire night. Leave the bar. When a guy named after a state or city comes in, Montana Max, you're gonna lose at cards and you're probably gonna end up in a fight. That's. Those are the two guarantees. It's like when I had my cable put in at the rental the other day and the guy came and I listen to the show all the time. I'm like, oh, good stuff. What's your name? He goes, eric. And I swear to God, I don't remember exactly what he said. I'm the Cincinnati kid. Like, immediately threw a nickname at me and I started laughing. Wahoo. Just put the Internet in Fargo Jeff. Don't introduce yourself as that. And if you get a nickname like that, people are making fun of you. You know why I know that is? Cause it's never like, you know, I'm Mesa John. Like, it doesn't have. Like, it's not a city that's it's got to have some sort of a bad tie. I'm Fargo. Johnny. It just the old west. It sounds like you're up to no good. I'm Upper Arlington Brady. It's not a thing. It doesn't happen. You have to be from someplace that nobody ever can look into it. I'm Tortilla Flat Tom. Yep. Bad. You think you're usually being named after a city no one wants to go to.
John Holmberg
Maryville, man.
Brett Bogan
Maryville is one. Maryville. Mack. Oh. How many felonies? Nine. Makes sense to me. Anyway, thank you for sharing.
Dick Toledo
Going out with Yuma Joe today.
Brett Bogan
Yuma is another city that gets it. You get a nickname with Yuma in front of it and you're a bad person. You've ruined Yuma. You made Yuma worse. You represent a bad. How is that possible? That's right. They name a terrible. I'm Hila.
John Holmberg
Ben.
Brett Bogan
Terry. Like, oh my God. What have you done wrong in life? Casa Grande Craig. But you don't get like Scottsdale Steve. Like that's a gay guy. And he's just Tucson. Tom. Tucson Tommy. I represent everything there is to know about Tucson. I hate laser. I hate laser. I hate nickname guys. Laser would fit into that. I hate nickname. People that say their nickname is their name earn it. Big Surf. Brett. Now that's a nickname. Somebody just said that's pretty good. Because you knew the worst thing that ever happened to Big Surf.
Dick Toledo
How'd you get that name?
Brett Bogan
He used to finger hunt. He's at the Big Surf before the waves went off. They didn't know anyway. All right. The man cave is going. This is it today. That's the last chance you're getting at it. And the word is corn stick. Text 97936 and get your chance to win the whole thing. Today's qualifier, of course, we'll get the Vaughn Hansen's meat and spirits gift card. 50 bucks. Plus you're gonna get two tickets to go see Breaking Benjamin. That's just for entering and winning today. Then later today or tomorrow, I'm guessing later today. Our crack promotion staff will draw five names from the winners we've had over the last two and a half weeks.
