Brady Bogan
Good Tuesday morning to you Phoenix. Hello world.
John
Hi.
Brady Bogan
Happy National Eat your veggies day.
John
Oh, that had to be tough to spit out big food didn't like saying.
Brady Bogan
That big food likes this one. And National Mascot Day.
John
Oh, it's your day. It's Brady's Day. I was. They were running through that the other day on a baseball game. I think it was the Marlins. And they started to fire the names of all the mascots. Like, the names. Not just, you know, the San Diego Chicken. He's got a name. I don't know if San Diego Chicken does, but, like, the Philly fanatic has a name. Mr. Met has a name. Clark, the Cubs guy has a name. Like, they all have great. The Parrot in Pittsburgh. And I'm like, I didn't know any of this. Like, they have, you know, they go home and their wives call them something. So the socks even have a mascot.
Brett
Yeah. Southpaw.
John
Oh, that's right.
Brett
What is what. I don't think San Diego Chicken does.
John
I think he's just San Diego.
Brett
Yeah, I think so.
John
But it's. Yeah, it's very strange because I was like, wow, I wouldn't win that. Who's your fit? Who did you model yourself after? Brady, when you were the Diamondbacks mascot, who did you think to yourself, you know what? And keep. Did you watch any tape of anybody else? Did you.
Brady Bogan
No.
John
You didn't monitor any? No.
Brady Bogan
Because the initial thing was for a TV commercial to be an avid fan.
John
Right.
Brady Bogan
So if I were to model after, I. I was picturing this guy to be. I mean, basically, that's not that much of a stretch to be a die hard fan.
John
Right.
Brady Bogan
But I went kind of Chris Farley esque.
John
Okay. Modeled it after a little bit of Farley.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
So you did some Farley stuff. I don't remember you being too farly.
Brady Bogan
No, it wasn't. It was like. The only time I did that was we had some press conferences or just talking about, you know, that I figured being the avid fan, there was an outside chance that, oh, maybe I get a shot at trying out for the team, too, because it's a new team.
John
Right.
Brady Bogan
That kind of enthusiasm.
John
So those kind of commercials. Because for a while there, you never know.
Brady Bogan
I might.
John
You know, people don't realize this, but for a little while, Brady and that guy that you were with, Byron.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
Were the only two people in Diamondbacks uniforms for a couple of years. Like, you were the only ones that were seen in Diamondbacks. Yeah, on the commercials, on TV and billboards and things like that.
Brady Bogan
Williams got signed and. Yeah, we did commercials with them.
John
But that was 98. When they first started to get those guys.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, they actually got them around 97.
John
Almost at the end of the year because they were playing for somebody else. So they couldn't have done it until the season was over. However it was before.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, they took the field.
John
Yeah. Whenever they got. It was a.98 was their first year, right? Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, they probably. Well, they had the. The expansion draft and they picked up J. Bell and those guys came off the other team. So I remember if Matt Williams was a free agent or if he was on the expansion draft. But. Yeah, but then Brady was. Brady was the face of the Diamondbacks. And do you remember his name? Brett. Oh, yeah, what was it? Drew. Hey Batta. That's right. Drew. Hey Batta. So you'd have won that little battle.
Brett
But he was a little more arrogant than Chris Farley. Hey, fan, I'll tell you this right now.
John
The Diamondback's original mascot was a flat out dick. Just eyeballed friends that he worked with every single day of his life. And not in a joking manner. It would have been funny had he joked about it. Hey, I know that guy, dad. Oh yeah. Like, yeah, that's Brady. I work with him. Hey, Brady. What's going on? Howdy, fan. Just kept walking. Didn't know it was me. Looked right through me. Probably stared at my chest more than my face. Hi, fan. Enjoy the big day?
Brady Bogan
Just didn't recognize you.
John
No, you didn't try. You were. You were in your own. You were feeling some Brady at that moment.
Brett
Did you do TV commercials and everything.
John
Before the construction even just hanging around the construction site like a pervert?
Brady Bogan
Almost two years.
John
Yeah, man. Brady was the face of the Diamondbacks. And it is. There is so like we'll occasionally get what looks like a 1960s photograph of you as Drew. Hey, better somebody will send and goes, is this Brady?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
This was the first night of the ball game. I went and I posed with this.
Brady Bogan
Guy and there's so many out there that was just weird that you don't realize nobody once in a while. Don't.
John
But do you have any pictures of you with the Philly Fanatic?
Brady Bogan
No.
John
See, that's the thing.
Brady Bogan
Nobody mascots.
John
No, no, I'm talking about just generally in life.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah.
John
Nobody's going to keep those in like high regard back in the. You know, you're not taking a photograph with the Philly fanatic as a kid and then framing it and keeping it as an. You'll find it later.
Brady Bogan
It's not like Disneyland.
John
No, It'd be like 30 years later, even Disneyland. You still go through the Pile of pictures in the drawer. And you're like, oh yeah, but you'd.
Brady Bogan
Keep your picture with Mickey who?
John
With Mickey Mouse.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
Yeah. But it's in a drawer.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
And so now I'd find it and I'd be like, look at this. And maybe I'd show it to somebody with Drew. Hey, Batta, come on. That's not me. The next move in the house. Going through some things I don't need anymore. That's. That's hitting the bottom.
Brady Bogan
You find Baxter easier than.
John
I'm still not keeping that. A picture of me and Baxter. That's not hard to get. So, you know, so there's very little even like television commercials. There's very little evidence that Brady had this job.
Brett
I'm literally on YouTube right now trying to find it and I can't find anything.
John
Yeah, this guy just even said it. I've been saying that for 20 plus years. There is no evidence of Drew. Hey. Better existing at all online magazines. Nearly impossible.
Brady Bogan
First couple editions of the Diamondback we're on the COVID one. The one of the issues. And then another Diamondbacks magazine. Yeah, they had.
John
See, they even keep those around. I didn't know that was a thing like on a program.
Brady Bogan
No, they put out a season basically. I think it was like season tickets. Do you get a anything from the Suns? They used to do that with the Suns.
John
Well, they do it with. They're not going to send magazines anymore. They'll send you like emails and updates and.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. News back then you'd get. You know, if you are a season ticket holder, get a book. And they'd have them at the stadium as well.
John
Well, if anybody's got it, Brady will pay $100 per photo of you with through pay. Better bring it back into his life. It's done. Mark it down, Brady. It's all right around here. Other people can say what you'll pay for something. It's okay. Brady will pay $500 for anything it's been autographed by Brady. And $100 for any photo you have of Brady as. Hey, drew. Hey. Better. 100 bucks in your pocket guaranteed from Brady Bogan. There you go, buddy. I did that for you.
Brady Bogan
Thank you.
John
I did for you.
Brady Bogan
Couple of basis fun facts. It's possible to be allergic to other people.
John
Yeah, I've heard that before. By the way, I just got my first photograph. But I will say the person sending it is not in the photo, so it doesn't count. This could just be some manufactured nonsense. There's Byron Jenkins and Drew Hey Better Oh, I see Jim Wilson has this, but oh man, he hangs on to it.
Brady Bogan
He keeps that in his wallet.
John
James says pay up. Well, you're texting the wrong guy, Jimmy.
Brady Bogan
We knew he'd be in right away.
John
Brady's your guy. Here's some Someone found Drew hey Better on an AI search and it says a person named Brady mentioned in the podcast about the Diamondbacks mascot. Along with Drew. They're mentioned in the podcast. A person named Brady. I need some evidence.
Brady Bogan
Wombat poop is cube shaped.
John
I'll take your words.
Brady Bogan
Scientists think it keeps their droppings from rolling away, which rom they they use it to mark their territory.
John
They poop little squares.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
On hills.
Brady Bogan
So it keeps the. Yeah, it must be hilly terrain. A contro nym is a word that can mean two things that are opposites.
John
It contradicts itself, like rent.
Brady Bogan
I got a list of cotronyms if dust.
John
Yep. Because you can act as you can remove it or you can add dust.
Brady Bogan
Lease left to depart or to remain.
John
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Buckle to fasten or collapse.
John
Oh wow. Never would have thought of that.
Brady Bogan
Ravel. To separate or to entangle.

Holmberg's morning sickness.
Brady Bogan
Cleave.
John
Ooh.
Brady Bogan
To adhere or to split?
John
Interesting. Never heard it. To adhere. Contro nyms. Who knew? Oh yeah, I forgot about that. We got David Spade joining us today. I forgot about that. He's going to call us up.
Brady Bogan
Is it illegal to burn. It's illegal to burn a foreign country's flag in Denmark. But it's legal to burn the Danish flag.
John
Freedom of speech. They don't want to piss anybody off. They don't have much of an army. Denmark's trying to keep it together. Go ahead, burn our flag. We're not going to fight you. But don't get all lippy and start burning, you know, America's flag there.
Brady Bogan
A new study found working too many hours a week literally changes the structure of your brain. Researchers scanned the brains of 110 health care workers, split them into two categories, overworked and not overworked. They defined overworked as 52 hours a week or more. They found that working with that much, that working that much can cause significant changes in parts of the brain associated with executive function and emotional regulation. It can mess with your decision making skills, cause you to get emotional or fly off the handle a lot. They didn't look at the long term effects, but they suspect that being overworked for years on end is isn't great for your mental health.
John
So you're saying that working really hard you have a boiling point and you will snap, huh? Yeah, they did a scientific study about that.
Dick Toledo
Imagine if only they had examples.
John
Yes, exactly. Wonder what made them want to do this study.
Brady Bogan
And Another poll found 47% of Gen Zers say they they're having more sex while working remotely due to the more flexible schedules. Technically they didn't say they were getting it on while they're on the clock, but they are. But when it comes to things like they'd like to see added to the office, 38 said they'd like to have private spaces for hookups and solo play.
John
Wait a minute.
Brady Bogan
During the workday provided by Gen Z.
John
Is asking for horror rooms in the office. Well, damn it all just When I thought I couldn't love this generation more.
Brady Bogan
Alone or with a co worker.
John
Not kidding. All right, everybody. The Gen zers that work here have requested that we turn one of the offices into a slut house. So I'm just going to draw two names and paired you up so we don't overwork you. Brady and Thriller. Yeah, let's get into the horror room and get to. I don't know who the top is, but I bet it's not Thriller.
Dick Toledo
Guys on the floor. Indian leg wrestling.
John
Yeah, I don't know. That is disgusting. And they think that that was a good idea. That goes in the suggestion box, which was, by the way, one of the names of my poems. Somebody thought, you know, what we should do is since we work back in the office now, have our own private spaces, that I think it'll help with my productivity. Because I got my eyes on that Jennifer down there, and I'm thinking maybe she'd be interested. How do you even. After the MeToo movement, how do you even talk to someone at work about that?
Brady Bogan
Right, because you'd be in trouble for asking. You want to take a little break?
John
You can't even say a lady looks nice in her clothes at work anymore without meeting with hr. Now you've got a room.
Brady Bogan
You want to meet me in the break room.
John
Break room. That's different. Well, that's getting soda in a Danish.
Brady Bogan
What do they call that?
John
They call it the room because that's what it is. Do you want to go lay down in the whorehouse? I don't think we're supposed to talk about that at work. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't say you looked. I didn't say your clothes look nice. I'm not sexually harassing you. I'm trying to. You.
Unknown
That's different.
Brady Bogan
I got a quick Wild America.
John
All right. And go.
Brady Bogan
Hello, my friends. I'm Brady Bogart, and this is your Wild America. Vox just did a big article on how the hummingbird feeder in your yard might be poisoning them.
John
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Basically your hummingbird feeder. The sugar water spoils faster than you think, especially in warmer weather.
John
Here, it's terrible.
Brady Bogan
Then if you don't clean the feeder and replace the liquid, they can end up with bacterial or fungal infections that can kill them.
John
Might as well be method.
Brady Bogan
A study found in 2019 found that most of the microbes aren't deadly enough to cause huge declines in hummingbird populations. But it happens. One expert says it's fairly common for dirty feeders to at least make them sick.
John
Dirty feeders? A Good band name.
Brady Bogan
How often should you clean them?
John
Every day.
Brady Bogan
Every day or two.
John
Yeah. You've got sugar rotting in a tube in your backyard.
Brett
Nobody's doing that.
John
No, of course.
Dick Toledo
Vinegar isn't.
John
It doesn't.
Dick Toledo
Sugar just.
Brady Bogan
It does. It can get that and then the.
John
And I don't understand, like, why you're trying to draw hummingbirds that close to you. How. How dull is your life? What are you just. It's like awakenings, for God's sakes. Like.
Dick Toledo
Well, when you. When you get an unintended feral cat adoption about two years ago.
John
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
It can be a little bit of wild world in your backyard.
John
With the hummingbirds.
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah. She's caught them a couple.
John
Oh, she eats them.
Brady Bogan
Oh, that's impressive.
John
That's.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
Yeah. Really impressive.
Dick Toledo
She came in.
John
So you. Well, hold on. You drew in the hummingbirds with a feeder, and she was eating them.
Dick Toledo
Lisa did it, and unintentionally, she was doing the hummingbird and the cat was.
John
Eating the hummingbirds while they would stay.
Dick Toledo
On the fence line and just stalk them.
John
So she's complicit in the crime.
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah.
John
She brought the food to the tenant. Yeah. She didn't want to assist. That's an assist?
Brady Bogan
Yep.
John
That's like a Gretzky assist. She's going to be points leader. Did you keep up the hummingbird feeder? No, it's gone.
Dick Toledo
It's empty right now.
John
Yeah. Megan. Stan.
Brady Bogan
We just got a new one.
John
Why?
Brett
We got one out there.
John
I know.
Dick Toledo
Well, you do it because that one out here is changed out regularly. I've seen that guy grab it, like, three times now.
John
Whose is it?
Dick Toledo
I have no idea.
John
Yeah, well, KDKB came along and Long Paul. Inevitable. We had hummingbirds feeders. Do you have one at your house?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
Just to marvel at birds.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, we got. Well, you know, for like, five years in a row, we had hummingbird nests underneath the patio. You didn't need on the lighting, and.
John
You still put a feeder in.
Brady Bogan
It was already there.
John
Oh. So they. They, like my kestrels. They just made camp. That's dumb. And again, like I said, when you're feeding the wildlife, you invite the homeless ones. They show up and put up tents. You just basically had the zone of hummingbirds on your back patio and thought it was beautiful.
Brady Bogan
I think that traffic getting the feeder stopped them from doing the nest anymore. Too much.
John
Too many. Too many guys coming by to squat, and you still have it.
Brady Bogan
And then the other thing. Do I still have the feeder?
John
Yeah, yeah. Do you go outside Just about a bigger one ago.
Brady Bogan
No.
John
To get like. Do you have one of those smaller. It's not the tube that has like 10ft.
Brady Bogan
No, it's a glass bottle so you can't wash it out.
John
I bet you Kirby uses it.
Brett
Oh yeah.
Brady Bogan
Turn into a decent bottle.
John
Oh, it's a bong all right. I've seen it. Hummingbird feeders are good bongs. Yeah. I don't get that. Because how dull is your life.
Brady Bogan
Bird like, I mean hummingbirds are kind of cool.
John
For how long?
Brady Bogan
A couple seconds.
John
Yeah. You know, it's not worth it. Two seconds of your life. It's not like sex, Brady. It's a couple of seconds. You could be doing something else.
Brady Bogan
That's your wild America.
John
I'll never understand the hummingbird feeder. I think you've pretty much quit on any true entertainment in life. When you've got a hummingbird feeder in your backyard and you're actively like staring at it, it's. It's an admission of the death of yourself. It really is.
Brady Bogan
Every once in a while you're sitting on the patio, you can hear that.
John
Yeah. Yeah. Because you're in your wheelchair just waiting for sweet, sweet death to come. And you. Yeah. This uncity special active young people very rarely are like oh I just want to sit on my back patio and not move and watch birds eat.
Brady Bogan
You're watching tv.
John
Mm. It's sad. You see smoking. Smoking some brisket, staring at ncis.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John
Probably because most people. Yeah, most people. Most people who love hummingbirds are watching Blue Bloods.
Brady Bogan
Is 72 year old man in Florida named Samuel Thomas was arrested after calling 911 on his neighbors. He claimed someone was shooting an AR15 in the roadway. When the cops showed up they only saw a family barbecue happening in the residence with small children at play. Several other neighbors reported no shooting had taken place.
John
They called and said there's no shooting. That's weird. Samuel did he called the other. Oh no.
Brady Bogan
The other neighbors reported there no shooting had taken place. The neighbor that said that Samuel has called 911 on them hundreds of times. Frequently stops in the front yard, sometimes at the residence and yells obscenities at her and her family and seems to be a nuisance. According to the police records, Samuel's made 3,400 calls to 911 this year alone. 16,000 calls within the last five years.
John
He's on pace for 7,000 this year.
Brady Bogan
It's unclear what all the complaining was about, but 647 of the 3,400 were targeted at the neighbor having the barbecue.
John
Yeah.
Dick Toledo

600 of them at that one particular.
Brady Bogan
Barbecue at that family. Oh, not the complaints towards that family.
John
Whenever they. I see. Okay.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, he doesn't like that family.
John
No.
Brady Bogan
He's accused them of having narcotics sales, firearms usage, disorderly conduct.
John
He just wants him gone.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. It's unclear why the police haven't cut him off from calling.
John
Yeah, you've abused it.
Brady Bogan
Salmon was arrested for stalking and filing a false report. He was also charged with resisting arrest for tussling with the officers when he tried.
John
He's going to flip out and kill that family. I watch Fear Thy Neighbor.
Brady Bogan
This is about to say there's no evidence of mental health issues. He's just a 911 abuser.
John
Okay, watch Fear Thy Neighbor because the next step after this is usually a family member on TV on the ID channel saying the cops didn't do anything about it. They put him right back in his house. And then he realized, I'm not allowed to call 911 anymore. I'm gonna do this myself. Somebody's getting murdered. Write down their names because we're gonna. We're gonna hear about them in the future and it's gonna be a great show on the ID network.
Brady Bogan
Samuel's rap sheet includes multiple battery convictions, DUI Pot possession.
John
Guy's gonna kill everybody.
Brett
Disorderly, it's over.
Brady Bogan
Intoxication, passing bad checks, violating probation.
John
Yeah, you can't cut him off from 91 1.
Brady Bogan
Here's your guy, Samuel, if you're running into him.
John
All right.
Dick Toledo
Oh, with a raised eyebrow.
Brett
It's like 72 years old.
John
He does look like. He looks like DJ Yella.
Brett
That is yellow.
John
That's NWA's DJ Yellow. I always wondered what happened to him. Turned out he's crazy.
Dick Toledo
We have some couple of confirmation texts.
John
Coming in about Brady. Yeah, he owes him $100. What?
Dick Toledo
First one says, hey, can you ask Brady if he knew a dear friend of mine named Greg Sheldon? Because Greg was the original artist. Who Drew D. Baxter, the Diamondback master.
John
His replacement.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I do not.
John
That's DJ Yellow is on our screen. And that's the guy who's gonna kill his neighbors.
Brady Bogan
His dad.
John
Well, DJ Ellis. Yeah. Color versus the black and white.
Dick Toledo
Another one says John. I worked full, full time security at the Bob. Yeah, three times.
John
Three.
Dick Toledo
I assisted Brady with over eager fans. After the third time, Brady said thanks and I said, no problem, Brady. Three days later, the supervisor put out a memo that said we need to address Brady as Drew Heybatter and nothing else.
John
Wow, what a dick. Here's the thing. I didn't say that. Yeah, ye did. You went to the office for that? I'm tired of these pricks calling me by my brain name when I'm here.
Brady Bogan
I'm Drew.
John
Hey, batter.
Brady Bogan
Whoa, man.
Brett
Brady Day Lewis over here.
John
He used to get into character professional at the old station. He'd be in the hallway in the. In the uniform going through his exercises like. Excuse me, Brady. Brady left like Drew, can I. Can I use the bathroom when Drew.
Unknown
Is done, you may use the bathroom, man.
John
So, photographic evidence or some sort of memo from the Diamondbacks? Yeah, that says you're not allowed to call him Brady. Because that doesn't surprise me at all.
Dick Toledo
He was an ex and he says unfortunately that was about nine phones ago. So. Yeah, at least there wasn't.
John
There weren't picture phones when Brady did this.
Brett
Probably wasn't allowed to take pictures of Brady.
John
Well, not for charged.
Brady Bogan
You ask for permission.
John
Yeah. Hey, Brady, can I get a picture? I don't know, maybe ask someone named Brady for a picture. I'm Drew and should be addressed as True.
Brady Bogan

Because that's what's going to happen. That's what most. Most cucks do.

Rachel Maddow tells their wives what to think, and then they come home with an opinion that. And then their wives tell them, no, you don't think that anymore. And they.

Brady Bogan
I'm taking the north.
John
I'm taking the north, too. I'm not taking snot. I would much rather have give me legendary instead of hillbilly.
Dick Toledo
Oh, my God, I hate your choices.
John
Yeah, Peter north gives you a full. Oh, a 100% decoration north style. Or that guy comes in and sneezes that on you.
Brett
I'll take the legendary North.
John
I got stories with Peter North. The other thing, I'm at the doctor's office. Oh, it's not even a close battle.
Brett
No.
John
Oh, I would take a Peter north shot before I'd let that guy, like, take his shoes off in my house. There's nothing. That dude is filthy from top to bott.

And by the way, I just wanted to let you know that I talked to Stanley Hubbard, who runs your company there, Richard, and I talked him into it because it's necessary. And I'm a good guy.

Clyde just emailed in. Please tell me your company provides therapy for employees suffer from that.
Unknown
Yeah, the tds. It's a real thing. I'm not gonna lie to you. It's a real thing.
Brett
All right, we're light today and quick, so we'll just go through them. This is. Well, when you get a flat tire, this is who you want to show up to fix your tire.
John
Oh. Oh, geez. She's a lady with no pants on. She's got the tire iron in her and her body parts. She's pretty.
Brett
She's had hillbilly.
John
She's definitely got hillbilly face.
Brett
Oh, yeah.
John
That is not going the right direction. How'd she get so far along and have no kids? Because clearly that thing's not.
Dick Toledo
She's got tetanus, that's why.
John
Oh, well, probably because she's putting that rusty thing in there.
Brett
I think you're just immune to it when you're from those states.
John
She didn't get any vaccines.
Brett
No, you're just born with. Immune from that.
John
Yeah, maybe that's true. It passed down generation to generation. Tough, because you could have rust all day long. Good band name. Another good band name. The rust C word. Oh, boy.
Brett
Some acupuncture.
John
All right. Scrotum action. Acupuncture. That's a negotiation. Okay. There's 30 or 40 needles in this guy's scrotum.
Dick Toledo
And one of his nipples.
John
Yeah. He's got a couple in his stomach. Oh. I got him through the shaft, running it up the side of his penis, and they're working them all the way up. We're looking at probably 50 needles all the way through. Yeah. And then the goat screams. Yeah.
Brett
And then we'll just end.
John
Wow.
Brett
Just end here.
Dick Toledo
Is that an actual website? Crazy. S dot com. Has to be, right?
John
Yeah. Oh, there's a lady with scoliosis or something naked. She's got terrible spinal as. She's reaching back behind herself. Again, jeopardy's playing. She's oiling her bottom. She's putting most of her hand in her own butt. Oh, God, Here comes the rosebud. No, she's trying to poke one out. Oh, God. That's this Big Montana she's got. Oh, God. Oh, there's blood. Oh, there's blood. There's blood coming out. Oh, she's finger painting. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Brett
Let's get it in some replays, shall we?
Brady Bogan
Oh, man, We've seen her before.
John
What's the whole point of the butt part? To turn around and show us that the Big Montana is rare enough attention.
Dick Toledo
To know if we.
John
Oh, what is going on with you? Yeah, I didn't order my Big Montana rare. I'd like to have this cooked somewhere. This is covered in blood. Oh, my Lord.
Brett
That's what I got today.
John
Oh, that meant I haven't. I didn't throw it, but I've got chills. That was only a three. Unnatural. Why did she fist her butt first and then go. Oh, by the way.
Brett
It's like she couldn't get the rosebud out or something, so she just flipped it over.
John
She gave us. All right, sorry. Instead, it's like when a magician's trick doesn't work. So he goes back to. All right, I got this. If you want to see this, I'll do this last one. My grand finale kind of failed. That was kind of rosebud for you. But is there something you do where you reach in and, like, pull a lever? Because it seems like the rosebud always has to have something reaching around in there. And then they, like, you turn it inside out like a t Shirt does.
Brady Bogan
Seem like there's a release switch in there.
John
I'm not willing to try and find mine.
Brett
But just go down hall and ask him. They'll tell you.
Unknown
Why don't you ask Toledo? His wife does it to his ass every night while she's telling him how his brain works. Does she make you dress like Rachel Maddow so you're a real man?
Brady Bogan
Not yet.
Unknown
See what I did? Ready called Rachel Maddow a real man because that's what she like.
Brady Bogan
I called Tim Waltz today.
John
Tim.
Unknown
I'm not going to call Tim Waltz. He's a mess. He's an idiot. I'm not going to. I would, but what's the point? He just screw it all up.
John
It's 8:15. There you go. My God. That literally gave me chills. I got. That is a. That is not a gently used lady bit. No, that thing has been thrashed. Yes, thrash. Like a fish out of water. Beat that to death. Thrashed is the word. I hate to break it to you, darling, but I'm looking down at this thing and the only word that comes to mind is thrashed.
Unknown
I know.
John
It's been beaten up pretty bad. Like I said, thrashed. I want that to happen to someone I know. Dude, it was thrashed. Just tell a girl this thing's thrashed. I'm out.
Brady Bogan
Where you going?
John
Look down at yours today, ladies. And if the word thrashed applies, you know, end it. I think you go get some of that. What is that stuff called? The under eye. Tightens up your under eye bags. Just rub that all over there. David Spade's gonna join us. He's in Tucson and here this week. Yeah, Thursday he's in Tucson at the Ronstadt Music Hall. And then here he's at the Phoenix Celebrity Theater. You can get tickets at Ticketmaster. We'll talk to David Spade in just a little bit.
