Dick Toledo
You thought that was funny?
John Holmberg
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45. My name is John Holmberg. How are you? There's Brady Bogan. This is. There's Brett Fesley. There's Big Dick Toledo. This the morning sickness. And we are ready to go for another good one here. Sun's already up. Might as well get out there and do some stuff. I'm seeing all these people up jogging around at 4:45 in the morning. You're out of your minds. I don't know how you people do that. Crazy. And I'll tell you right now, don't go jog by my house. The mob moved in, Brett.
Brady Bogan
That's good news.
John Holmberg
The mob has moved in. Let me tell you this little story about my house. So I had first moved into this place. Nothing but lovebirds in the backyard. Those beautiful green and orange and yellow lovebirds. They get a little chirpy come August. They got mouthy. You could hear them. But they were cute. And there were thousands of them. The whole backyard was covered. The flock found was gorgeous. It's like having parrots you don't have to feed. Just looked into the backyard. They were zero responsibility. And I'll tell you this, another thing. Nothing more beautiful than when your dog brings you one of those. You know, instead of like a pigeon or some sort of dead, weird dove, a gorgeous, colorful lovebird had fallen from the nest. And one of your dogs takes care of that, and it's like you. You find a dead bird in the pool and it's actually pretty.
Brett Fesley
Talking about Troy, Michael?
John Holmberg
No, no, they hadn't moved in yet.
Brett Fesley
Okay.
John Holmberg
All right. That might have been what drew them in, though. The colorful birds and the pretty sights. Then for some reason, they started to move out. And I had a pigeon issue. Not a bad one, but enough to be like, noticeable. Now, Megan has always been huge on like Snow White when it comes to animals, even pigeons. So injured pigeons she would pick up and take to the bird rescue. And I know already that the bird sanctuary was killing those things immediately. Just, you know, there's no. They say they don't, but pigeons.
Brady Bogan
Come on, we got this.
John Holmberg
Yeah. They're like, oh, thank you so much. We'll definitely give this one some great. And then you hear in the back and it's done. You just know it's over. There's no possible way they're keeping pigeons around that long, but maybe they do. I don't know.
Brady Bogan
She just needs to do a couple of flips.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. And they just. You hear in that big dumpster in the back. Then I started to notice in the last year or so that the pigeons weren't around anymore. For me, that's great because pigeons take human sized all over the place. The poop from a pigeon is occasionally massive, and I don't know how that, like layers. Oh, it's. Yeah, they start moving and they all go in the same spot. So they were treating this area on my back patio like a, like a, like a restroom and, you know, sweep it up and hose it and sweep or whatever. I go out there every once in a while and then they started to go away and I. And I couldn't figure out what was going on. Doing absolutely nothing, by the way, other than occasionally hosing them off. But I was under strict instructions to not bother the pigeons by Snow White. So I've just let that go. I've surrendered that. Like, fine. If you want a backyard of pigeons, fine. They went away. Replaced by the mob bird. I've just now been recently introduced to beautiful kestrel Gorgeous, like falcon. So I've got this. This thing shows up and it's by himself. He's just majestic. They're skinny and they're tiny, but they're majestic. And I started to notice in the backyard a few victims of the kestrel. They don't finish their meals, pieces and parts. Well, mostly just chunked out enemies of the kestrel, which are mostly other birds, like the babies of the pigeons. I found out why the pigeons left. The kestrel was eating their young and spitting them out. Don't look at me like this is bad neighborhood. It's actually now the pigeons have been moved away. And I call it bird gentrification. We got rid of the pigeons. They're. They're gone. The low rent pigeon has left. This high rent, beautiful bird has come in. Except for. I'm not sure I like how he did it. And now his friends have shown up. And guess who they don't like now. Me. They are. I was in the pool last night, just, you know, resting, relaxing, enjoying the end of a hot day. And one I'm shooting baskets. I got a basket in the pool. I'm shooting hoops, you know, doing a little thing playing with bus, doing the stuff with the dogs. And I look up and there's like two of them that just keep zipping by. And then a baby one and then a third one. And I'm like, there's a lot of kestrels around. And then one goes by about a foot over my head. And I hear like, it makes a noise, like some sort of weird screech. The next one goes by and drops a really disgusting. Been dead for a long time. Baby bird. Its little ribs, little ribs are showing its heads. Never got going. Looked like it was fresh out of the egg. Dumped it on the pool next to me as some sort of mob like Brett Festly. Message to me that this pool now belongs to the kestrels. They're chasing me all over the yard. Last night I'd get up, they dive bomb me.
Brady Bogan
There's gotta be a nest around here.
John Holmberg
I know exactly where it is. And there's like 12 of them now. They invited all their Italian stupid dago bird friends. And now you go outside at. And it is a. It's theirs. They own it. The dogs are kind of like, all right, all right, all right, we get it. You're not. And there's dead birds all over my backyard. They're spitting them out. Messages are being sent. Brett mess. I gotta have a sit down with this Castro, this dude. These Birds don't be fooled. They're beautiful. They sit there and they've got these weird kind of almost neon heads and. Yeah, they're like falcons. They're baby falcons. They're gorgeous. They're assholes. Don't fool yourself into finding that this is some sort of a thing you want.
Brady Bogan
I never knew.
John Holmberg
They're assholes.
Brett Fesley
Gathered in groups, meaning keep the neighborhood straight.
John Holmberg
But they do. And you know who else they made friends with? An owl. And this owl sits in the big tree and he. He floats out his giant wings and sends them off on their job. The owl is Tony Soprano. And the rest of them are his. His. His henchmen, his street people. This is a nightmare. I want my pigeons back. I never thought I'd say that. I want the pigeons back.
Brady Bogan
I got an owl and a pull out hawk.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, one hawk's and I just.
Brady Bogan
You made me realize they're coming.
John Holmberg
You know what?
Brady Bogan
I don't have that many.
John Holmberg
No more birds.
Brady Bogan
Birds, not as much.
John Holmberg
All right.
Brady Bogan
But they're spread out through the neighborhood.
John Holmberg
Let me tell you this. Count on this. They invite their friends over and they start having loud parties and they're assholes and there's nothing you can do. And they spit dead things at you. That dead bird came within three feet of me in that pool last night. Spit it in the pool. He did that on purpose. That was a thought out plan.
Brett Fesley
The pigeons all moved to Maricopa and the Casa Grande and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, because the neighborhood's changing.
John Holmberg
I don't like it.
Brady Bogan
Kirby got out of the car one day, picked her up from school, pulling the driveway, gets out of the car and the hawk swoops and snags a sparrow about three feet away from her as it was crossing.
John Holmberg
It's horrible. Feathers, Brady. I actually have a recording of them from last night. This is. This is my kestrels talking. I got into the tree with him. It was step in and he fetches. I'm talking about the message, what it stands for. Yeah, it's called gentrification. God damn it. That's what happens when the property value of a certain area is brought down. Huh? You listening?
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
To bring the property value down, they.
Ryan Reynolds
Can buy the land at a lower price.
John Holmberg
Then they move all the people out, raise the property value and sell it at a property. This is what the pigeon do is we need to keep everything in our neighborhood, everything pigeon black.
Brett Fesley
Oh, is that what your neighborhood said?
John Holmberg
He said pigeon owned. And I said, what? And I said we got to get These guys. The pigeons left. They left. And the kestrels came in and they're ruining everything. They're assholes. Worst birds I've ever been around in my life. John says, or Kirk says. Maybe a big drone will scare them away. I've had my drone in the air here recently, too.
Brady Bogan
That probably attracted.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they don't seem affected. I know what tree they're in, and I might go fly the drone around there. Maybe I'll have one of my old Star wars drones that does pew, pew noises.
Brett Fesley
And we got P eoline flying in your neighborhood or what?
John Holmberg
It is horrifying. They're dicks. And I need a bird expert out there to, when Snow White's not around, eradicate the issue.
Brady Bogan
They might. You know, there's a chance they could leave after if they're have raising the youngins.
John Holmberg
There's none of that out. There's one little one, and he's the biggest dick. He's the one who swoops down and tries to hit me.
Brady Bogan
He's able to fly?
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Oh, and then the. And then the. And I thought there'd be like one when he. When he'd first sit up on the wire, like, oh, he's pretty. There are no birds now. And this is. This was a sanctuary. They're all in a jacaranda in my front yard. And they meet, and then the sun starts to go down and they spread and do all sorts of terrible things and then come back and spit those bones in my yard I found. And my little dog, Frank the terrier, he loves it because he loves carrying dead birds around like it's just a thing. I think he does it to make Megan throw up because it is hilarious. Like, this adorable little white terrier comes up with a very dead animal.
Brady Bogan
Maybe they're keeping peace with your dogs.
John Holmberg
The dogs are. The dogs don't seem bothered at all. And they're not getting swooped on. But I was keep dropping it. Yeah, dumping dead things on me in the pool.
Brett Fesley
Brett, just look at it this way. Remember when they always say the Vegas was better when the mob ran it? Your neighborhood's getting better. Just look at it that way.
John Holmberg
If I go outside and there's like, little neon lights and gambling. What are you looking at?
Brett Fesley
Keep it moving, pal.
John Holmberg
We got a problem with the big bald one. He seems to want to hit us with hoses every once in a while. So you know what to do. Drop some dead stuff on him. He's in a pool. All right, I gotta go. And then he Flies off in his giant wings. And the kestrels and the owl get along just fine. Just fine.
Brett Fesley
They start calling you Charlie M. Yeah.
John Holmberg
You make me pop your eye out of your skull for Charlie M. Ark. Ark. They're dicks.
Brady Bogan
They get along because they hunt at different times.
John Holmberg
Whatever. They're. One's talking to the other about leaving things behind. And they're like, leave me a few dead, you know, Give me some scraps. That's what we're talking about right here. I just don't think you guys are getting it done. There's still too many pigeons. And sure enough, the pigeons are long gone.
Brett Fesley
So Maricopa and Casa Grande.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Get them out of here. I'm fine with that. I was actually happy with it at first. And there was my mistake. When the gentrification started, I was like, you know what? The neighborhood's looking pretty good. And then all of a sudden, all these birds in, you know, tank tops.
Brady Bogan
Too much of the other.
John Holmberg
They start coming by. Little. Yeah. Pinstripe suits and sweatpants start floating around, walking around my backyard like they own the place. It's insane. So I got a little bird issue. I don't want to go firing off BBs and stuff and start a war. But it's getting close. Maybe the drone is a good idea. Maybe. President Johnson sounds like you got some Merryvale birds. Yeah, I don't want to put it in that category, I don't think. I'm pretty sure. I just got. I got the Italian. They act Italian. They act like they act Italian. This guy says, screw a bird expert. Put a Brett shaped scarecrow in your yard. The wop crow should do the trick. That's true. I need. I need a. I need one of your sweatsuits and a gold chain from your house real quick. They'll. They'll know if it's not authentic. So I need one of your knockoff. What is that, a Brooks? Probably a Brooks sweatsuit. And I don't know how you make. Hey. Gray, but I'm going to shoot the sides down like poly walnuts. It was weird. It's a weird thing, man. So any. Anybody who's had a Kestrel invasion. And of course, I can't say this anywhere but here. Cause Snow White's like, don't do anything to him. Yeah, she's. You can't hurt. I mean, we could have a grizzly bear in the backyard. And she'd be like, oh, my God, that's so cute. And then we'd have to build cages. It's One swoop away, you think, yeah. Oh, it'll tie into her hair. Kind of rooting for it. Kind of rooting for a little hair yank. They're attacking us. I told you. Horrible. And I can't say anything about it because then all panic breaks loose that we've got to build fences. And we have like the dome of dome built over the house that they start dropping dead things in the pool. It's awful doleful. But they're everywhere, man. And so if you have any answers or you've had this problem before, I'm listening. Let's get that done.
Brett Fesley
Make Homeburg estates great again. Gotta build that wall, right?
John Holmberg
I mean, they say that things are getting. But there's a clothes. They're yelling. There's birds playing stickball. I'm like, I hate is interesting.
Brett Fesley
Now just use canceling how swappy they are.
John Holmberg
That's exactly what he said. Now use canceling. And then the other day, Michael and Troy came home from their European vacation. And I heard the tree as they got out and unpacked their pink and white bags, I heard the whole tree going, aha. Maron. Hey. Oh, Ricky owns. When did this happen? We've only been here for a couple weeks. What's going on? Let's take this out back. That's what the Ricky owns said? Yeah, it's bad. Brett, you need to come by and talk to your bird people. Yeah, they're gonna probably. You put your arms out and they'll land on you. They act like a bunch of mobsters. It's crazy. So kestrel birds? I don't know. I don't. I didn't even know those were a thing.
Brett Fesley
But those pigeons suck, though. You should be happy they moved in the neighborhood. Pigeons.
John Holmberg
Oh, pigeons are the worst. I was happy when they were, you know, like Italians, when there's only a couple of them. Everything's fine. Get a whole flock, you got yourself nothing but noise.
Brett Fesley
That are old house.
Brady Bogan
Doves are easier.
John Holmberg
Oh, doves are nothing. Doves come and go. They don't do anything bad. They kind of, you know, they're pretty dirty. Yeah, but what are you gonna. You gotta live with birds. I'm fine with that.
Brett Fesley
But our old house, the neighbors behind us had bird feeders in their backyard.
John Holmberg
Idiots.
Brett Fesley
So these pigeons would come over. It was like the Enola Gay going over my house, just dropping B.O. bombs and stuff. And my neighbor down the street, he hated him. So he was out there with a pellet gun with a scope, and he'd see him walk around the neighborhood with a. With a box and a shovel, just picking him up.
John Holmberg
I don't know where it came from, but one of the guys I talked to about it said, well, here's the danger of it is that they start dropping dead stuff around because they don't finish. They're sloppy. They eat what they want. They. They decapitate other birds and leave them as a message. They're just hanging around. He goes, and the more you do that, the more other stuff, bigger stuff comes by and coyotes and things like that start running around. It's like, yeah, yeah, you got. Yeah. Because it's easy. Kills. They don't like fighting. I got a whole thing brewing. I don't want anything.
Brady Bogan
Most of those niblets get taken by the ants.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, that, you know, if you got time for it. But, yeah. And the sun. The good news is it's so hot that they'll cook out quick.
Brady Bogan
You don't want more of those.
John Holmberg
John, I don't want to be rude, but don't most Jews have an iron dome over there? All right, that's. You know what? You watch too much news, Scott. Yeah, it's like. Like. Yeah, it's like Iran. They're just floating all over my house, and I'm taking them out. One of the. So far it's just a couple, but they're dicks and they're. They're staking their claim. So, Brady, I know you love wildlife. If you'd like to come by with a butterfly, whatever, check it out, whatever you do, climb up in that tree, make friends with them and take them back to your house, I'm fine with that.
Brady Bogan
But a lot of times, if it is too much, you know, disturbing going on, they move on.
John Holmberg
If I start disturbing them.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I don't know how. Yeah, because once you get them loose, they take way off. And then they come back pissed off because I can flush them, but they come back. It's.
Brady Bogan
It's the.
John Holmberg
It's. I'm like the. The government. I keep them quiet for a day or two, and then they come back with a plan.
Brady Bogan
If you can get a Bluetooth speaker up there and put country music on there, maybe.
Brett Fesley
And then you have Dale at your house every 10 minutes, too. So.
John Holmberg
I'd rather have kestrels attacking me, a Dale crow than it. Oh, man. And have people just knocking on the door. There's some sort of festival going on. Back on her. Luke Bryant. God, the dummies are here. I'd rather have the birds. Real bird brains have arrived. Anyway, what are you going to do? And speaking of bird brain to the police, who I am a huge fan of. And you all know this how? None of you got your hands in the air and said, don't tell the general public about this. So neighborhood watch emails in the neighborhood, that website, First Door or whatever it's called. Yeah, next door, have all put out the Phoenix Police Department's most recent message to my area, which is the Squaw Peak kind of Granada Park, Squaw Peak, all that area up there. And they put out this message and it's got, you know, Megan's mom's been telling everybody all this stuff. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. Hey, bad guys, listen up. If you're interested in shooting or blowing anything up, now's the time. It says, beginning Monday through June, June 16 through June 21, the U.S. department of Defense will be conducting military training and designated areas around Phoenix metropolitan area. My neighborhood is the choice of space. Residents may notice low flying helicopters, simulated gunfire and controlled explosions, primarily in the nighttime hours. Please be aware that these activities are part of scheduled training and not an emergency. So if you had some shooting planned, it's gonna blend in with the cops blowing stuff up and shooting.
Brady Bogan
Don't worry about it.
John Holmberg
Just sleep, go crazy. Well, 10 o' clock last night there were a couple of some rat attackats and you're like, oh, that's just the police, that's. And nobody's gonna call the cops. So bad guys, if you're in the area and you want to start blowing stuff up, highly Recommend. Somewhere between 10 and 2, right around, you know, the hiking trails of piece de wa and all. No one will notice. Nobody says, it's all good, we're all safe, everybody's happy. And I text my cop friend Ben, like, is this normal? He goes completely text another cop guy. It's like, is this the thing? It's like, yep. And then one of my anonymous cop friends text back and said, we've been doing this for 20 years and we never tell anybody about it. And he said, but with everybody all worried about ice and whatever else, we thought, you know, one of the geniuses in the higher up said, well, we should tell the public because they'll flip the F out otherwise thinking that, you.
Brady Bogan
Know what's going on here.
John Holmberg
There are people out there who are so stupid that they think the United States government is just going to randomly attack with bombs and guns. Yes, of course they are. And so we had to tell them because if they hear the noise, you know, well, that's definitely ice and we need to go out and start shooting Hamas. So it says it is a training not related to ice, immigration enforcement in any way. It has been coordinated with local officials. We understand the interest. So now if you hear gunshots in my neighborhood, you've been told not to report it, Just leave it. It's good. It's the cops, I don't know, training. I don't know who didn't raise their hand and say, isn't this just an announcement to bad guys that there's a specific time you can start shooting and blowing things up without any questions and, you know, get a little head start on the law? It's the dumbest warning I've ever seen in my life. And if I start seeing low flying helicopters in the area and hearing explosions, I am wondering why they're doing that in a neighborhood. And you know, if they've done it in the past, they've never once noticed. But don't they have like.
Brady Bogan
And that's police training, not military?
John Holmberg
No, it's defense. Department of Defense.
Brett Fesley
I think it's urban training and urban training.
John Holmberg
But don't they have like little cities for this? Don't they, don't they take. Dump little cities and rent them out for a few days? They bought one in New Mexico. Our friend had to move out. His whole family had to leave when they, they bought. Sells New Mexico and they turned it into an urban training center. Don't they have those already?
Brett Fesley
Not enough, apparently. I don't know yet.
John Holmberg
They got to do it over some good. Some good shooting last night.
Brett Fesley
That's why the birds are out there. Neighborhood's going.
John Holmberg
You know what?
Brady Bogan
They moved.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that may be why I didn't even think of that.
Brett Fesley
There goes the neighborhood.
John Holmberg
This guy said, oh, oh, Krista, I work in pest control. These are. There are bird repellent sprays you can get online. Really? Does that kill everything though?
Brady Bogan
Scatters them maybe.
John Holmberg
Tyson said, john, didn't you say those birds were beautiful? Then there's no way they're Italian.

And when the cops start shooting up the road, I'll start shooting at those birds.
Brett Fesley
Just call Byron.
John Holmberg
He'll hook you up. That's a good idea. Get like a little one of Those little Walther PPKs or whatever those things are. They don't make a lot of noise. And then when the cops start firing away, I just sit in the front yard and pluck them out of the air. That's a great idea. That's a great idea. All right. Now it's all coming together. Yeah, I'm gonna start shooting at him. That's a good thought. I think that's a great plan.
Brett Fesley
Check.
Brady Bogan
Double check. I know you say it won't matter, but it sense the bird of prey. Yeah, I don't know if that's illegal. I think it might come get me.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I don't care. I've never cared about that. If I've got a wild animal in my Backyard. And somebody came and said, did you shoot one of these? I'm like, you're goddamn right I did. Well, that's illegal. What's the fine? I'm not going to. Nobody's ever gone to jail for that. What's the fine?
Brady Bogan
When you're. When you're dealing with something like an eagle?
John Holmberg
Okay, if I have an eagle problem in my front yard, don't. I'm still shooting them. And I'm going to say, look around.
Brady Bogan
But I don't know what. Kestrels or falcons.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I'll tell whatever department of, you know, wildlife that comes to my house and has the nerve to say, did you shoot this eagle? I'm like, yeah, I've got an eagle problem. And they're a little bit intimidating. So here, step over this mound of human feces because they drop giant dung piles, and tell me you wouldn't do the same thing. They've eaten two family members and three dogs. Yeah. Eagles, sure. If I. If I'm not, probably not going to.
Brady Bogan
Shoot an eagle, I wouldn't take out a condor either. That's just.
John Holmberg
Again, until I have a problem. The single kestrel was like, Freddy. Multiple kestrels bad. If I see a lot of bald eagles at my house, I'm like, first off, where's the fish? Like, why are you here? Second, I'm going to start shooting. I. The bald eagle is beautiful. One at a time. I was in Alaska. They're pretty until they're not. Then they become seagulls. And there's like. When there's more than four or five eagles, you start going, all right, we need to go inside. They're not little. And that's not. I have no. Again, come to my house. Are you shooting bald eagles in your front yard? I'm like, what would you do? Did you hear what you said in my front yard in Phoenix? Yeah. I'm shooting eagle.
Brady Bogan
Took my dog.
John Holmberg
I'm shooting anything, anybody. I'm not gonna follow any of those wildlife idiots. I will kill those things. Even if they're birds of prey that are protected. I'll shoot an owl that gets a little. Get too close to me, and I'm shooting it. I have to have my gun on me. I have to be prepared for it. But, I mean, if the owl starts getting a little touchy feely, little too Italian, little handsy, starts talking with his wings, I'm dropping him like a bad habit.
Brady Bogan
Get one of those, Brad from the improv. One of those tracer guns.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, he's got one of those? Yeah, for paintball.
Brady Bogan
That would work.
Brett Fesley
Screw that. Get the flamethrower. Go to MMP and pick up the flamethrower. Just light up the neighborhood.
John Holmberg
Roast it out.
Brett Fesley
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
KFC ain't got nothing on me. That's. That's the key to it. It's like children. One of them is like, oh, that's nice. You get like 10 or 11 of them in the same space. I'm breaking out the flame. I don't know what I'm going to do. You can stay back. He's crazy. Yeah. I don't care any more about anything. I get an influx of old people in my front yard, I'm going to start paintballing them. Anything that is too many of one thing has to be pushed back. Brady just tried to game and fish me over there. Are you out of your mind? Be careful. They're beautiful. No, they're not. You come to my house when they start dumping dead birds in the pool and laughing. I could hear them take that prick. They don't make pretty noises either. They just shout at the top of their little bird lungs. The worst. So, yeah. I didn't know there was bird repellent spray. Right.
Brett Fesley
Neither.
John Holmberg
Little mobsters. Are there mob repellent spray. Can you listen to something you guys hate? I hate this. Like Drakkar. Probably. I think you guys are attracted.
Brett Fesley
Oh, that's Armenian.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's right.
Brady Bogan
Does Snow White have any bird feeders set up?
John Holmberg
No. Good Lord, I would break every one of them.
Brady Bogan
That's one of the things they're saying to.
John Holmberg
No, I'm not attempting to feed. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
How do I just. How to remove kestrels.
John Holmberg
Yeah. The last thing I need is, like, birds that are lazy in the backyard that are getting handouts. Whenever you've got a bird feeder, you know who you attract? The homeless birds. The lazy ones. You're not getting the beautiful best. You're not getting the high end, a version of whatever bird is eating out of your feeder. They're the lazy, homeless losers, the ones that fend for themselves. Those are the ones you want to see.
Brady Bogan
They suggest installing shiny objects, hanging.
John Holmberg
You know, I've done that. Woodpeckers before that reflect. Yeah. I think that they've probably adapted to CDs at this point. CDs? What is this, 1995? I'm coming in. I don't know. He's hung up some CDs. You think we can get around that trap? This guy thinks he's clever. What is that shot? A floating right around it. So I will kill them all. And I. Pigeons. I thought pigeons were tougher than that. They're like New York. Like, they gather in bunches. I thought pigeons would. But. Get your falcon ass out of here. This is my yard. You. There's 5,000 of us. But no, they were gone. Like, in a day. They packed up, took off.
Brady Bogan
Even the big bull, male pigeon said, bow up.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they're big, but they are all gone. And those pricks were wrecking my palm trees, making huge houses in there, carving out the ends. And then.
Brett Fesley
So, what are you bitching about?
John Holmberg
Oh, I got no problem. You are such a kestrel fan, you actually believe they're Italian.
Brett Fesley
Yeah, what are you bitching about? They're doing you a favor.
John Holmberg
They did do me a favor at first, and now they're a little too comfortable.
Brett Fesley
Pay protection.
John Holmberg
Now they're running boxing gyms in my backyard. We're gonna have the next heavyweight champ.
Brett Fesley
We got your neighbor right down the road there.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, I got my. My ufc.
Brady Bogan
Now, you're not gonna have any problems with roof rats.
John Holmberg
I. I didn't.
Brett Fesley
You're welcome.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I did. You're welcome before.
Brett Fesley
Hey, look at this. Come on.
John Holmberg
And we're keeping a roof rat. But I never had a roof.
Brady Bogan
There's a reason.
Brett Fesley
No rats in the neighborhood.
John Holmberg
Exactly. What an Italian.
Brett Fesley
No rats in the neighborhood.
John Holmberg
But I never had a roof rat. You're welcome. That. You know, idiots, that's not how it works. And you won't have a problem. I gotta start leaving envelopes in the trees. My house lights on fire every once in a while in little tiny ways. Pricks. Little prick. Birds all over the place.
Brady Bogan
How cool would it be if you go home in your pool, there's a miniature Stugats floating, playing Frank Sinatra.
John Holmberg
Yeah. If I come home and I swear to God, there's like a Sinatra thing in the back or something. And I've got Dean and Frank going.
Brett Fesley
Oh, man, remember what he did.
Brady Bogan
Crank that speaker up.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Brady Bogan
They don't like that music.
John Holmberg
You don't like what we're doing in your yard? Sorry, buddy. We're gonna be in your pool all day. They got a little boat and speakers hanging out of it. Frank and Dean CDs. I hate this. You're in. Takeover. Get your dogs in the house. They know what. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Lovely. The little Copstral girls walking on the.
Brett Fesley
Poolside like the old Vegas showgirls with the big feathers hanging out.
John Holmberg
Get out here and hose off the deck. Our Feet are burning like a samba that swings so cool and swear it Kebabs coming over visit baby bird heads on it. Got a little barbecue going.
Brady Bogan
That's life.
John Holmberg
Become a cartoon. I can't stand it. It's not awesome, Brad. It is. I curse you in your new house that you have the.
Brett Fesley
As long as they show up and not them damn pigeons.
John Holmberg
This guy says. Fifteen years ago I worked for Game and Fish and we prosecuted a 70 year old man for shooting two Hawks that were recovered and examined and had pellets removed with traces of DNA and fingerprints. And I believe there was a heavy fine and no jail time because he was 70. They're not putting you in jail for that. You're not going to. You're not going to go into the jail cell. They're going to waste resources. They're going to find you.
Brady Bogan
You're good with heavy fines.
John Holmberg
I'm fine with a heavy fine if it's for a cause. I've taken a few heavy fines for no reason whatsoever. Sometimes the company just says you owe people money. And I'm like, sure. It's part of the evidence chain of custody. And it was legit. Old ladies, love birds. And this Karen's. They got witnesses. Yeah. All right, so make sure that they don't. Rats. I gotta keep the rats out when I start shooting.
Brett Fesley
I won't have them with those boys in the neighborhood.
John Holmberg
And will if I start shooting those boys.
Brett Fesley
Yeah. You're have a dead horsehead in your bed too.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Says the way to go if they're Italian or stoners is to get your backyard some pomade and patchouli. Is that true? Birds hate hippies. I think they hang out together, don't they? They're always down with the birds.
Brett Fesley
If that's the case. I hate hippies.
John Holmberg
See them crawling around parking lots fighting over the same french fries? I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Chiba Hut. And hippies and pigeons all. I'll get the pigeons back.
Brady Bogan
He said loud music does distract them too.
Brett Fesley
There you go.
Brady Bogan
They suggest 3 11.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. Well, then I'm moving.
Brett Fesley
He'd move them into the house at this point. There you go. This is your wing.
John Holmberg
That's all I'm hearing from the tree. Turn it up if you're gonna. That's good stuff.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh yeah.
John Holmberg
Out of chimney. Fly me to the moon. Nobody's complaining now. Him hate him. Is that bird chopping? Look, I dare you. Slicing garlic, game and fish. I dare you to come to my house and put cuffs on me and march me out in Some sort of per walk. Cuz I shot the kestrels. Not allowed to do that fine. $100 a bird, my friend. Good. Worth every penny. I shot 20 of them and I got 20 to go. So I'm like, can I prepay my next fine? Because I'm gonna keep plugging away jackass kestrels. And what about them? They don't get fined for dropping dead doves in my pool.
Brett Fesley
Nobody saw nothing.
John Holmberg
I did.
Brett Fesley
No, you didn't.
John Holmberg
Brett. You're taking us too serious. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? A good one. 585-9800. We'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up. Arizona's most powerful powerful rock. Rad.
Dick Toledo
You thought that was funny?
John Holmberg
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? Thank you. Miles to nowhere. Katie and the Hobbs kicking it off here in the morning sickness. And off we go. Everybody's warning me about the kestrel birds. Don't you worry about it. Don't you worry about it. Guy said. John, last week, weren't you saying, leave the rioters alone? And today I will shoot and kill any animal in my yard? Yeah, I left them alone until they got lippy. That's what I said about the marchers. Act like you didn't even know they were gonna be there. And they'd walk around like, why? And then when they get lippy, my plan B. Fly a helicopter over and put some of that flame retardant red on them with some pepper in it. No, I got plans. Run. Now I'm getting sent all of the potential. Listen to this. Says I know a guy. Who? I say I know a guy. What? Heard of another guy who heard of a guy who got fined 17 grand for killing a turkey buzzard? I guess it was bothering him.
Brett Fesley
That's why you keep your mouth shut. You don't tell people.
John Holmberg
I wouldn't even know what that is. Yeah, and there's the other thing. Who's the rat that told you killed the turkey buzzer? Here's the thing. Arizona Game Fish Department pretty serious about birds? Protected species. Kestrels are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty act. Various laws. In Arizona, penalties can lead to severe consequences, including fines ranging from five to $250,000. I dare you. Jail sentence. Imprisonment is a potential penalty for violating this law. I dare you. Confiscation of possessions, any property used in the violation. Hunting equipment, anything like that could be confiscated. Revocation of licenses, hunting or other relevant licenses can be revoked. I dare you.
Brett Fesley
I don't see you going hunting anytime soon. So you're good.
John Holmberg
I also don't know who's going to tattle on me. I'll be in my own backyard. That Snow White might do it. Oh, yeah, he might start.
Brett Fesley
Watch out for those.
Brady Bogan
He care and walking her dogs.
John Holmberg
Looks like I got. Oh, no, there's none of that. If she's walking by my backyard, I'm.
Brady Bogan
Shooting her to the alley.
John Holmberg
Well, let her walk by the alley. You're not allowed to do that. That's against the law too.
Brady Bogan
You're not supposed to use the walk in your alley.
John Holmberg
She cannot take walks in the alley you take. The alley is for trash and out. It is illegal to. I'll tell you right now, if you're gonna start throwing laws at me, I'll throw one back at you. Illegal. Exactly. But if bitches walking through the alley, breaking a law, tattling on other people doing it, I'll save one for her. So long, bitch. There's another 10 grand out my pocket. I'm paying fines, baby. Yeah. 250,000. You imagine that you're fine for killing that kestrel bird in your backyard that was dropping dead animals into your pool and causing havoc is $250,000. Oh, well, let me write a check here. I don't need to write 250,000, right? What are you doing? That's not. That doesn't say. What do you mean a hearty. You. You can't write that on a check. And I just did.
Brett Fesley
Why does it pay to the order of asshole?
John Holmberg
Pay to the order of this right here. Well, that's not my name. I can't.
Brady Bogan
Instead, you sit down for five years. What are you in for?
John Holmberg
Please.
Brady Bogan
Killing the kestrel.
John Holmberg
That's right. I'd be a hero. I'd be. There's no possible way. And again, I'd have to have. Like Brady said, that bitch that Brady was talking about a second ago, breaking the law, taking walks in the alley, which is wildly illegal. You know why they say don't do that? Because then homeless people can't use alleys as thoroughfares. If you see people wandering in your alley and stuff, taking walks, they're technically breaking the law. You can rat them out, but I'd only do it if it was a homeless don't have that problem. But that's why. So if some lady in the alley, Brady, in your scenario, is wandering around looking to tattle while she breaks the law.
Brady Bogan
Nosy Nelly.
John Holmberg
Got a lot of nerve on you. You just broke the law. So did you. Taking your dog for a walk in the alley. You want one? You want one in your lips, bitch? You're mean. I understand. If I was you, I'd be hiding that face in an alley, too. I wouldn't walk around in the streets. Good thing about your face, lady, in Brady's scenario, we're making up. You walk the streets, no one will ever solicit you for prostitution because you're disgusting. $250,000. You'd have to tell on me. You would have to tell on me. I might do it just for fun. You know what? I'll just tell them my company will pay for it. That seems to work. Hey, Trip, I got a bill for you. There's a little trouble over there. And I said you'd cover. I wasn't in on that conversation. Yeah, that's how it works. Also, you all have measles, according to the news. Everyone stay home. You've all got the measles. One dude was at sky harbor on June 10 between the hours of 5pm and 10 or 11 at night. If you were in the airport at all June 10, the news has you believing you've got measles. There's no question about it. Here's what I'm more worried about. His flight. He was trapped on that tube. That's where you really got to worry about, the measles. I'm not so worried about the Hudson News being affected by his measles. I'd have to go out of my way to find him. But if you get up on that, you know he was in terminals three and four. So he was probably flying in on Spirit and then flying out on Southwest. That's my guess, yeah. If you're on a tube with a guy, why don't they just tell us who it is? What flight was he on? Because if they know he was in the airport, they know who it is. Tell the people who were on the plane and then that spread.
Brady Bogan
Maybe they're contacting those people.
John Holmberg
By the way, if you're not sick by now, you probably don't have it. I'm guessing, Right. Measles is super contagious. Super duper contagious. Like, if you're around measles, you get it in a day or so, I would assume, and. Right.
Brady Bogan
Do you think seven days later, he just didn't know?
John Holmberg
I don't know. He must have.
Brady Bogan
Measles.
John Holmberg
It's all itchy and bumpy. I don't know. I don't know. But he was on the plane, so that's what I'd worry about more. But the news is like, if you were even close to the airport on June 10, you probably got horrible measles. I don't think it's that bad. But if you were at the airport on June 10, you should probably just go get checked. And most of us, I believe, are vaccinated. Right.
Brett Fesley
For measles.
John Holmberg
The measles shot you get when you're a kid lasts forever. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
You were early on, I think. But then I forget what the dip is like. There was a point where people weren't getting it.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, No, I know that. There's the anti vaxxers that decide not to get it. And if you're not vaccinated, that's the risk you've been running that way. Sure, I'm fine with that. I have no look, people get upset when you talk about vaccines. I got no problem with you making that choice. I'm vaccinated from measles. I didn't have a choice. Somebody jabbed that me when I was a baby. I've never like marched around down the. I've never taken a shot, no jab. I got the vaccine because I was forced to. As far as I know. I don't even remember it happening. But I'm not scared of no measles. It comes my way. It's a. I think I'm pretty much covered. I don't know if I get it. I get it. But if you're not vaccinated, that's the risks you run. If you decided not to get a measles vaccine and measles breaks out, don't start yelling at everybody else that it's a problem. And isn't it like. Like I watched the doctors on TV and all the people who are like smug about vaccines and stuff. Some guy was on the news last night going, if you're vaccinated, everything's fine. They're kind of smug about it. Aren't they happy when measles breaks out? Because it doesn't get rid of the ones that they don't like the most? Like the ones that get mad about vaccines. Like, doesn't it eliminate their foe when the measles gets out? If the unvaccinated are the ones most at risk, isn't it? But aren't the people who are so angry at them in the first place, shouldn't they be happy that the measles is breaking out?
Brady Bogan
There's a bit of that, I bet.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I would Imagine that. There's sort of a strut or a boastfulness about like, well, I'm vaccinated and you're not. It's the I told you so kind of factor.
Brady Bogan
I'm drinking a cup of measles right now.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I'm rolling around in measles like crazy. What are you doing? I didn't get vaccinated because I'm not taking any chances. I think you are. Were you at the airport? So if you're at the airport on 10 June, which was seven days ago, and there was a dude next to you, and he had, like, a lot of bites, who? Toledo, Tuesday. Who's there? Trip.
Brady Bogan
Oh, Trip.
John Holmberg
Trip, Probably. What if it's Tripp? He's at the airport all the time. Was it a Tuesday? It was less. Yeah, it was last Tuesday. He flew out last Tuesday.
Brady Bogan
Somewhere between maybe Monday afternoon. I don't know.
John Holmberg
No, he was here on Tuesday last week because we had that. There was that little lunch thing that they went to the baseball game Wednesday. So he came back Tuesday and went to the baseball game on Wednesday and then flew out again. He's got measles. Tripp's got the measles.
Brett Fesley
Well, let's see if any of the salespeople, because that was a super spreader.
John Holmberg
That's right. And then. Okay, here's the new thing, Trip. Our boss has me measles badly, guaranteed. Watch the news last night. He's always at the airport. He's got measles, and he took it to the ballpark on the 11th. So trip spread measles from. Not all this is breaking news, everybody. This is our guaranteed trips. Measles are everywhere at this point. Oh, my God. What an irresponsible man he's become. So, yeah, he had measles from his trip to Seattle. So if you were in a. I don't know what he flies.
Brett Fesley
Oh, wait a minute. He's not flying Spirit or.
John Holmberg
No, no, he flies us or whatever. American. Is that what they call it now?
Brady Bogan
It might be Alaskan to Seattle.
John Holmberg
Oh, that could be Alaskan. Either way, measles. He brought him with him, gave everybody terrible measles, and then came back the next day with his measles and went to the ballpark. This is according to the news. Our own trip.
Brady Bogan
Read sources.
John Holmberg
Nope. Me. It's me. I'll take the heat for this. Yep, that's it. He's. Woof. This is not good. So he should get checked out. He's not a young, young buck anymore.
Brady Bogan
He got the vaccine.
John Holmberg
I'm sure he's. He's got the old vaccine that left scars.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I was like, when it looks like a cigarette burn. Yeah. It looks like somebody put a cigar out on you. Yeah, no, Brady was. Brady was of the last couple years of that. I wonder if Toledo's got it, because when I. When I was a child, they developed some sort of new technology. They didn't have to torch you. Do you have it? So they didn't get. So starting in, like, you might have been the last year of that Brady.
Brady Bogan
I don't even know.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, I was 68.
John Holmberg
So they. They didn't give you the cigar burn usually right up around your.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, because it's. Cigar burn was multiple needles at the same time.
John Holmberg
Yeah. They just hammered you everything at once. Yeah, My mom's got one on her arm. It's huge. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Well, they last.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Forever. Yeah. How big is that? When you're a kid and they used to jab that in your arm and it's a scar that lasts forever. Anyway, it says a measles vaccine provides lifelong immunity. Two doses of measles mumps, rubella, typically given in childhood, are highly effective at preventing measles infections fo life. 99% of people who receive the two doses of the measles vaccine are protected against measles for at least 15 years. Well, that at first said lifetime, and then 15 years. It's important to note that in rare cases, immunity wanes over time, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems. However, most people, the vaccine provides a lifelong protection. So. Yeah. Isn't this just getting rid of the people who decided not to do it? Shouldn't we be kind of happy?
Brady Bogan
I don't know about happy.
John Holmberg
I'm not unhappy. That ends the debate, doesn't it? Like, if all the measles looks like it works. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of like if I'm standing there looking at you going, should have got the shot, jackass. They're like, oh, I don't do that. I'm like, all right, well, I'm gonna go outside and be normal while you sit in your incubator and try to figure out what to do next.

John Holmberg
Holmberg's morning sickness and are there.
Brady Bogan
You know, I guess what they the reason why maybe you're not doing it is because they're worried about it Makes side effects.
John Holmberg
Turns you retard. They think.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
They think that all the kids are autistic because of that. And then that got proven right or wrong. I don't know. That could be. But I'd rather even be a little bit autistic and I think I might be than I would have, you know, be afraid of the airport on Tuesday. If I can wander around the airport with a little bit of OCD and autism. Well, I've been doing that my whole life. I'm pretty cool with that. I don't want the measles. I understood the argument against the COVID vaccine. That just came out of nowhere. And then they started telling everybody, take this. We're not sure what it is. I got that like, you know, I still took the shot. Oh well, measles. They just jabbed that in me with a. I don't think anybody was lippy back then about it. I think doctors just did it anyway. My doctor was Dr. King. He carried his syringe like a heroin addict. It would stick out of his top pocket. It was silver and it was massive. And he'd unscrew the bottom of it. It took him forever to give you a shot. Yeah. Scarring childhood memories of needing shots from that guy. And he would unscrew the thing on the bottom and then like load it. He loved this gigantic sir and pulled the two little triggers back like he was shooting a bow and arrow into my ass.
Brett Fesley
It's like the doctor from Cannonball Run.
John Holmberg
It Was exactly that. It was. Jack Elam had that. That was the exact same thing, which is why I thought that guy was so funny. That was Dr. King when I was a kid. You need a shot. He loved giving people shots. And the more you hated it, the more he liked doing it. Oh, he's afraid of needles, huh?
Brady Bogan
Good.
John Holmberg
He's got a sore throat. Needs a shot. I don't think Dr. King was a legitimate doctor, by the way. Lowell, Indiana, he was just a guy who showed up with a white coat and said, sure, I'm a doctor. Walking around with his heroin needles, just firing it at anybody. Dr. King. And that's, to this day. You saw me try to give.
Brett Fesley
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Get my finger pricked by that lady who was taking blood from us. Oh, I was gonna cry. It's Dr. King's fault. When I was three and four years old, when he'd come at me with that gigantic spear. Yeah, that's it. So if you don't have a measles vaccine and you're at the airport last week, my problem, the news makes it seem like we're all gonna get it. This one says so. The problem with vaccines and people that don't get them, if there's an outbreak, it can overload the hospital system. That's bad. Well, I'm not one of those. And if you come crying to me that you got the measles in, it's gonna get you. I'm like, well, we had a thing for that. Your fault. You can't be afraid of all those vaccines. Right. And how did they get around it.
Brady Bogan
A lot out there.
John Holmberg
How did you get around it? Like, as an adult, I understand that kids. Now, people got lippy, and they won't give their kids that stuff. But. But how did you get around it? When you're my age, I don't ever remember having a choice or signing a document. It was just happening.
Brett Fesley
Now, your parents might have.
John Holmberg
I don't even think my parents could have said no. I think Dr. King was going to hit me with those.
Brady Bogan
That was just a requirement. Felt it felt that way.
John Holmberg
Well, I don't know. I don't. I never did it. There was a lady we worked with that was a. Remember, she was a Christian Scientist and wouldn't give her kids like. Like anything at all, like aspirin, nothing. If their kids got sick and it was time to go, it was. They were just gonna die from it. And she wandered around pretty comfortable with that. And then she died really young of, like, head cold or allergies. Or something. I don't even know. It wasn't even that bad, but she would never.
Brady Bogan
I thought maybe it was cancer, but I don't know.
John Holmberg
She was my first exposure to no medicine. And I mean, like, no med. Not even, like, Formula 44D. Like, you couldn't have cough syrup. You couldn't have an allergy pill. If it was God's way of killing you. You're going down. And her kids would get, like, violently ill sometimes, and then they'd come back, and she's like, well, their immune system's stronger. I'm like, I don't know. I think I'd rather have a weakened immune system than go through hell just because I have a head cold.
Brett Fesley
I'll take my chances, Sister.
John Holmberg
Can you imagine not being able to take Mucinex when you're. Or, you know, Flonase?
Brett Fesley
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
They weren't allowed to do anything. I think they were sneaking it on the side. It's also kind of a smart way to be a parent, because the worst drug your kid can take is, like, dimetap, and you're like that. He's jonesing for some Flonase. Gotta get it fixed, man. You got Flonase. But I don't even know if her kids lived.
Brady Bogan
They did. And I. I think they're a little more lenient on the regulation.
John Holmberg
Probably drug addicts. Who, The Christian Scientists? Or just her family.
Brady Bogan
Her. The family might have.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they probably pulled back a little bit when one of them had a head cold. That hurt too long. Yeah, she was. She was adamant about it. I remember she was yelling at me once because I took Flonase in front of her or took a nasal spray. Oh, Katie, bar the door. She had no problem telling me her feelings. I don't believe in any medicines whatsoever, and I'm like aspirin. Nothing, Nothing. You're gonna die young. She did. Now this guy debates it, says, I design hospitals for a living. That's a good gig. They never get full. That's a myth. Even during COVID there was always a couple of beds. Yeah, but the. The hospitals can't get full, but maybe the doctors aren't enough to take care of it. That's the other part. All I know is I could have licked all the stuff at the airport last Tuesday and I'd still not have measles. Not worried about it. And if you get the measles, I.
Brady Bogan
Mean, you have to, you know. Like, we heard a couple weeks ago about the latest vaccine to battle the super gonorrhea, and it's got a 30 to 40% effectiveness.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the effectiveness is terrible, those vaccines. Unless the doctors like lifetime protection, I'm probably not taking the 40% success rate on gonorrhea. I'm not that worried about gonorrhea. Like, I'm not gonna go to the airport. And the gonorrhea outbreak, I'm like, I stayed away from it. I'm not getting jabbed there either. Not taking the needle or the gonorrhea crank at the airport. So I'm not really worried about that one catching me.
Brady Bogan
Like Jay Moore's joker. He takes it all. He's like, I'll give it all. He's like, all the stuff I put in my body.
John Holmberg
Exactly. I look at Keith Richards.
Brady Bogan
The last one I got was in back of the Walmart.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I'll take a vaccine at a Walmart. It's cheaper. The. I. I remember arguing with everybody over that. I didn't care about whether you took the vaccine or not, but I just. I marveled at how many people eating, you know, Cheetos and guzzling disgusting alcoholic beverages. And I'm not putting that in my body. That was the big thing that made me laugh during COVID It's. I will not put that in my body. You don't know what's in that. Meanwhile, just processed everything.
Brady Bogan
Give me the nitrates.
John Holmberg
Give me. Give me the Little Debbies and the Cheetos. Okay, I.
Brady Bogan
It.
John Holmberg
You don't want that. But let's not act like your body's being treated like a temple here. You're. You're not exactly monitoring all the intake. You're taking a stand against this. I get it. But, you know, meanwhile popping high blood pressure pills so you can keep eating nonsense. It's like, who do you think's regulating those? That's different. Okay, I'm fine with it. But if you didn't take the measles shot when you were a kid and you don't like the vaccines, I get it.
Brady Bogan
And I think there's some truth to some of that stuff where, you know, we're immunity systems.
John Holmberg
Sure. It gets a little stronger.
Brady Bogan
We're stronger when, you know, 40, 50.
John Holmberg
Years ago, that chance. Because I remember prior to polio, they all had that, hey, let's see.
Brady Bogan
Immune system gotten softer now that we've our immune system.
John Holmberg
Yeah, probably. Yeah. I'm not. I got no problem with you not taking vaccines. That's up to you. That's an individual's right. But you're probably gonna die from measles and I'm not. So I went totally fine with it. I have a weird feeling in my head that. Remember that notebook I told you guys about when I broke up with? Well, I was broken up with. I. I got dumped in the mid-90s and I had my. My notebook of love poems.
Brady Bogan
To the vagina.
John Holmberg
To the. To her vagina. And it was page after page of a five subject notebook stolen from my Jeep in the early, early hours of. Had to be like February or March of 1996. And I mean, there was a lot of tributes to the box. That was our pet name for.
Brady Bogan
Where did you keep it? In the glove compartment?
John Holmberg
No, I had. I took the back seat out of this particular Jeep. It was a 1987 or 86 CJ7. And a lot of times when you bought the Jeeps new back then, they didn't even include the back seat. It was just a. It was like a add on. It was. Yeah, there were no carpet. There was nothing. You could add the back seat if you wanted. I took mine out and I put in a big box for storage.
Brady Bogan
Like a trunk.
John Holmberg
Yeah, like a trunk. And put a lock on the back of it and then put a couple speakers in there to thump it. Right. It was a target. Because I would drive around like an idiot blasting music in this Jeep. And there was no, you know, it was denim. You could. So they went after like a pair of jeans.
Brady Bogan
So they went after the speakers.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they went. Well, more than likely. They weren't there for the poetry, Brady. I'm guessing the thieves were like. That dude's a strong poet. The pros. We got to get in that Jeep. No, he. The people that were getting in there wanted the stereo. Had a FOS gate, had a nice amp underneath the passenger seat, all the. That the CD player. I was ahead of the game and took it all out. But inside that trunk that they broke into to, you know, get the speakers. And they cut the top of my Jeep and like the. The denim just in half opened it up. Actually, this one was my 93. This was not my CJ7, but I took the seat out of this one too. This was my 93, by the way. Terrible year for Jeep. Yeah. So they cut the top. It was still that old, you know, cruddy top. And then opened it up and got the Vagina Monologues. Way before that was the thing. I had written several poems to my ex girlfriend's vagina that I was going to someday deliver to her one at a time. The plan was, each day she would receive Another poem about her vagina. Flowery indeed. Some funny, some heartfelt, all ridiculous style.
Brady Bogan
Sonnets.
John Holmberg
There were sonnets. There were. There was long, long hand prose. There were short stories, haikus. There was. There was. There was shorts. There was a lot. There was a lot. And I would keep it hidden in the locked box in the back of my Jeep. It was stolen. And it's been a fear of mine for now 29 years, going on 30, that this will eventually surface because my name is also signed it riddled sign.
Brett Fesley
It was in your Trapper Keeper or something.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, it was the Mead 5. It was the 5 Bad Boy Notebook. So you know the first one. And I tried.
Brett Fesley
You're gonna write that much?
John Holmberg
I did. Oh, Jesus. There might have been 15 to 20 pages that did not have writing on it. And each. Each subject can remember those things had five subjects. So there was a divider after about 100 pages. Those big thick notebooks. And then you could start a new. Like this can be your social studies. And then I used it as. This is going to be just flat poems. This is a freehand. This is just a stream of consciousness writing. This is haikus and other short stories. And so I had each one broken down into categories. And I knew where to turn when I had the. The moment when. Oh, songs. The. The fifth thing was the song lyrics.
Brett Fesley
What are you, Chuck D now over there with your rhyme book to her.
John Holmberg
Question and her body.
Brady Bogan
Would you do most of the riding nighttime?
John Holmberg
No, no, no. I would go get it out. Yeah. I would go out to the car.
Brady Bogan
And you go to your room.
Brett Fesley
He had hide it there because Dan might have seen and goes. Oh, Jesus Christ.
John Holmberg
Bingo. If Dan found my vagina book. Happy that I'm not gay. But he been like. But he is kind of gay. He's doing poems.
Brady Bogan
Dan return it.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
After 30 years.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I wanted to give you.
John Holmberg
Oh, if he's got it, he would. It would. He'd be laughing with tubes in his nose. I need you to do something for me, boy. Reach into my duffel. It might be the last thing I see you do. Pull out that maroon book. You've had this. And he died happy. Yeah. So I worry about that surfacing someday. And more importantly, like, it could be hundreds of years from now. You know what I mean? Because they just found a scroll in Egypt 5,000 years old. They think that's just some dudes. Like, it's just. They say it's diary. Well, no, it's just like a page they found, but it's just Horrible stuff like. And. But they. But everything they find is historical evidence. It's not just like Brett 5000 years ago writing down I'm gonna you up like everything's a threat to a nation. Nothing, nothing they ever find is just an innocuous piece of paper from some nobody jackass. 5000 years ago they found this. And they're like this must mean something. I think they're gonna attack the. The Menabadites or whatever. They're always. It's always meaningful that they found it.
Brady Bogan
But they found it isn't the look.
Brett Fesley
Of the cans on Margot Robbie take notes.
Brady Bogan
Or they have found some of that oh good free riding he's talking about.
John Holmberg
But this one, they're like, if I tell you it's a manuscript as well. That would be mine. It's a tomb. That's what I worry about. Because they always say, oh, they had a fascination like with the sexual this, that and the other. But my. If they. If the future generations, if there's nuclear annihilation and then man comes back from Mars to repopulate the earth. And the one thing they find is my old box poems. And they're gonna be like this was how they used to talk. Like they'll think this is a historical doctrine.
Brady Bogan
You know, do they take that and model society at the time after these poetry?
John Holmberg
Yes. And everything will be built in vagina shapes. And all the drawings of the past will be men were. They were addicted to it. And they pray. They praised it. They. It was such on worshiped. They worshiped it. I was on a pedestal and evidently the queen of all of them was a girl named Jackie. And her they called it A box was pristine and the man wanted to milk it. I don't know what that means. It was. There was some flowery writing. But if it ever gets found by future generations the way they found this thing in Egypt. Because when they find that. Whenever I see the headline says 5000 year old manuscript find an Egyptian tomb, I'm like, oh God, that thing could.
Brady Bogan
Change some stories on history if all things are destroyed. They've recently. I mean that's one.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but these are dumb, Brady. The point being like this could be.
Brady Bogan
You look at the piece they show.
John Holmberg
Sure. This. This could be you. This is all they found.
Brady Bogan
I know.
John Holmberg
And they put it together like it's some. You know, it has to be some amazing. The guy in the tomb might have been a jackass. It might have been Toledo and he wrote down something dumb. And now it's got all sorts of meaning. Just like my stupid book of vagina poems 5000 years from now might be seen as how humanity lived and it would still be embarrassing. And they find it in my tomb. Huge fear of mine that at my funeral it's an open casket and people show up and they say their last respects and then the one guy who stole it's been waiting for me to die and throws the thing in there inside my casket and then it gets buried. And thousands of years from now they unearth my casket and that and me are in there and it's like he must have been a king. They kept his writing.
Brett Fesley
Or the Brian Adams girl shows up, he was throws in the casket with you.
John Holmberg
He doesn't have it.
Brett Fesley
You never know.
John Holmberg
Although she did turn to drugs, so she might have stolen my speakers and found it. Mike, I gotta get rid of this.
Brett Fesley
It was the only thing that Mo Money pond wouldn't buy right now. Ain't buying a notebook.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Pawn the speakers.
John Holmberg
Yep. My guess is there's some meth heads or some Tony Roma's cooks that got a couple of really nice speakers and had a time of their life reading an entire notebook for days and let's go, let's go read the book.
Brady Bogan
We gotta say something. No, we can't because we got the speaker.
John Holmberg
They may or may not have known it's me. But the people who had the MCC Friday night smoke outs and would read a page every week got two or three years worth of the best entertainment of their life.
Brett Fesley
You don't think the Chris Valenzuela's got it?
John Holmberg
He gentlemen John loves the box.
Brady Bogan
They couldn't read it.
John Holmberg
One of them could. You're right. Most of them could not lead Chris Valenzuela cook. God, I hope that thing comes back. And I gotta. Because the poof.
Brady Bogan
How many do you think you remember?
John Holmberg
Oh, I don't remember any of them. I remember like when I would. When I would title them because I would read it a few times ago. This one's called Flower of a Goddess. God damn. That kind of thing. Yeah. God, that was right. Then on the top of it I would like box, letter and then color in flower of a goddess. Yeah, yeah. And then you know, like artistically write names, her name down the side of the page.
Brett Fesley
Weren't you ever worried that like stemmings or anybody was going to find that thing?
Brady Bogan
That was a gutsy move.
Brett Fesley
I mean.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett Fesley
Keeping it in the jeep if everybody's riding around or something.
John Holmberg
No, there was no reason for Mark to go through that. The only thing I really Worried about was like, a car crash where I died. And you know that.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, that's risky.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it was a little risky, but it was. It was for love. So what's the. The risk was worth it.
Brett Fesley
Oh, geez.
John Holmberg
But you think about it. No girl's gonna be happy with that. Like, I never once wrote about her personality. I never. I didn't write any poems about her face. Probably included in that was, you know.
Brady Bogan
When I looked at her eyes or anything like that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, maybe some, but it was always. Yeah, but I was always heading down. Like, it might have started there, but I was always. I'd worked my way down there. Yeah, I never really wrote about your, you know, hysterical laugh, your beautiful smile. None of that was just. It all worked its way right down to the honeyhole because I was at the time sort of addicted to that. And turns out a couple years later, when she came back, she was addicted to me too. And then I looked at her. I'm like, jesus Christ, what was I thinking? And we moved on.
Brett Fesley
She wrote an amazing song.
John Holmberg
She did. She penned this. Ten years after it came out, she wrote this song. Pretty amazing. But hopefully there is no. There is no chance that in the future generations that this comes out and becomes the historical documents of the. Of human man circa 1996. And then we built monuments to vaginas. In a way, it kind of is accurate, though, because everything we build is for. There's no way we'd build malls. I mean, the whole reason Amazon exists is for women. Malls are for women. Everything we build is for. To impress them. I don't see a lot of all female construction crews putting up like, bass pro shops, you know, Seems like they.
Brady Bogan
Don'T appreciate as much anymore.
John Holmberg
You don't think, you know, they're feeling. You don't feel the appreciation of man's advances. Yeah, well, mainly because man invented pornhub, because we got tired of building malls and not getting enough credit for it. So we were taking care of business on our own. But yeah, the. The Vagina Monologues are out there somewhere. Somewhere, and there's some guy's got him in his attic and he doesn't even know it. And they're going to surface my. My crossed fingers hope is the dudes who stole everything out of the back of that. There is no possible way. And when they went through the booty of what they took out of my jeep that they didn't go, what's in this? And go, this dude just right. In Vagina poems, they checked the thing.
Brady Bogan
They were Checking was. Is there cash and.
John Holmberg
Yeah, and then they chucked it. It's evidence. It's my hope, Brady. But if they got to like page two or three, the chuckles would have been worth hanging on to that more than the pioneer pull out CD player. That, by the way, good on you for stealing that. Those things never worked.
Brady Bogan
How great would it have been if it was like, know two years later.
John Holmberg
New York Times bestseller and some guys just sitting there like. Liquor Box was my favorite one. So clever, spelled with a Q.
Brady Bogan
Hey, wait.
John Holmberg
Hey, wait a minute. I wrote Liquor Box. L, I Q, U O, R. Liquor Box was mine. Flower of a goddess. This was. This came to me in a dream. Yeah, I did that. So Box poem. I should try to start that again. But it would all be hilarious now because I'm not putting my heart on a page ever again. It's not worth the risk.
Brady Bogan
Hatchet wound of love.
John Holmberg
Oh, there were a few of them, Brady, that would have made you cringe because some of them were, you know, that time of the month related.
Brady Bogan
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Yep. I believe there's. I would. I would go out on a limb here and say that a couple of them were probably titled Detroit, fly My little Red Wings. Yeah. Yeah. Detroit would have been like. It would have been titled, the weather.
Brady Bogan
Was rough that day.
John Holmberg
Going to Detroit, the Red Sea, Parting the Red Sea. And I'd have figured she'd have found that romantic.
Brett Fesley
Yeah. Most women would probably not.
John Holmberg
You don't see a lot of Hallmark cards that say, you know, sympathy, get well, Vagina praise. It was magic. I learned my lesson. I kind of came out of that spell and moved on. I praised it too hard, but it was taken away. Brady Michael says. Brady says he feels underappreciated. The guy who forgets about Mother's Day, telling his kid he's the one. Yeah, that's true. He didn't. You need to. You can't say the word unappreciated. You're going to get hit with a rolling pin. You're not feeling appreciated, huh? You didn't even tell our kid it was Mother's Day. I couldn't hear you. I was using my Father's Day presents. What do you got on the big board of musical treats there, Burt?
Brett Fesley
Wake up. Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop. And we keep telling you guys, you want. You want the bikes, you need to get that bike serviced. You want to rent one, you just want to get there, out there on the trail, get healthy this summer. Well, Action Ride Shop is the place to do it and head on over to the brand new store right there on power Road and McDowell, right by the Hawes trailhead.

And if you're not over by haws, we just go to the OG right there on Gilbert Road in Southern ActionRideshop.com is where you need to be.
John Holmberg
This guy says, if that notebook ever surfaced, would you authenticate it? I believe I would. I don't think I'd have a choice. My name was all over that thing. And this guy says, does Megan's box not merit a poem? Nobody's does. No, nobody. Nobody's does. Trust me. The obsessive nature in which these were written is criminal. It's. It's the stuff that John Wayne Gacy would have in his house. It's. It's creepy. Anyone who wrote this much about that would then have their wife immediately take it to a lawyer and go, he's going to kill someone.
Brady Bogan
Back to the vaccines they just got. Go on circling back around.
John Holmberg
Sure. Good timing.
Brady Bogan
If you're vaccinated between 63 and 67, you might consider getting another dose as the vaccine used then was not as effective.
John Holmberg
That's right. The measles. I'm good. I'm fine too. What's on the big board?
Brett Fesley
Right on the list. A lot of them going to you. Iron Maiden, Run to the Hills, the eagle is Landed from Avatar. Black crows. Remedy.
John Holmberg
Done then.
Brett Fesley
All right.
John Holmberg
That's one of my favorite songs. Remedy by the Black Crows. All right, we're gonna stick with the bird theme of those horrible birds that have taken over my backyard. They don't. I need a couple of those. Those. What do they call crackles and black crows and those big old black crackle. They sit in the backyard and just scream. And all other birds hate them and they're huge.
Brady Bogan
Get a pick up a crow call.
John Holmberg
I don't even know what that is.
Brady Bogan
Like if you can get them at Bass Pro or something.
John Holmberg
No, I'm not going in there. That's. No, no, yeah, I do that.
Brett Fesley
I want to see that. I want to see video of that.
John Holmberg
That deserves a you, Brady. I'm not doing that. I'm not going to bass an hour a night.
Brady Bogan
I'll be out of there.
John Holmberg
I know.
Brady Bogan
A week.
John Holmberg
I'll just stay in the house. They'll. They won't bother me in there until they all go away. Yeah, let's do it. Remedy is such a great song. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.

Brady Bogan
Good Tuesday morning to you, Phoenix.
Ryan Reynolds
Hello world.
John Holmberg
Hi.
Brady Bogan
Happy National Eat YOUR Veggies Day.
John Holmberg
Oh, that had to be tough to spit out. Big Food didn't like saying that Big.
Brady Bogan
Food likes this one. And National Mascot Day.
John Holmberg
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 off, off 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 Sox even have a mascot.
Brady Bogan
Pot.
Brett Fesley
Yeah. Southpaw.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's right. What is. What.
Brett Fesley
I don't think San Diego Chicken does.
John Holmberg
I think he's just San Diego.
Brett Fesley
Yeah, I think so.
John Holmberg
But it's. Yeah, it's very strange because I was like, wow, I wouldn't win that. Who's your. 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 Holmberg
You didn't monitor any? No.
Brady Bogan
Because the initial thing was for a TV commercial to be an avid fan.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Right.
Brady Bogan
But I went kind of Chris Farley esque.
John Holmberg
Okay. Modeled it after a little bit of Farley.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So you did some Farley stuff. I don't remember you being too farly.
Brady Bogan
No, it wasn't. It was like a. The only time I did that was we had some press conferences or just talking about, you know, that I. 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 Holmberg
Right.
Brady Bogan
That kind of enthusiasm.
John Holmberg
So those kind of commercials. Because for a while there, you never know.
Brady Bogan
I might.
John Holmberg
You know, people don't realize this, but for a little while, Brady and that guy that you were with. With Byron.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
But that was 98, when they first started to get those guys.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, they actually got them in around 97, almost at the end of the.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
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 Diamondback. And do you remember his name? Brett. Oh, yeah, what was it?
Brett Fesley
Drew.
John Holmberg
Hey, batter. That's right. Drew. Hey, batta. So you'd have won that little battle.
Brett Fesley
But he was a little more arrogant than Chris Farley.
John Holmberg
Hey, fan, I'll tell you this right now. 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 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 Holmberg
No, you didn't try. You were. You were in your own. You were feeling some Brady at that moment.
Brett Fesley
Did you do TV commercials and everything.
John Holmberg
Before the construction even just hanging around the construction site like a pervert?
Brady Bogan
Almost two years.
John Holmberg
Yeah, man. Brady was the face of the Diamondbacks. And it is. There is so like we'll occasionally get a what looks like a 1960s photograph of you as Drew. Hay. Better somebody will send. It goes, is this Brady?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
This was the first night of the ball game. I went and I posed with this guy.
Brady Bogan
And there's so many out there that was just weird that you don't realize nobody cares while.
John Holmberg
But do you have any pictures of you with the Philly fanatic? No, See, that's the thing.
Brady Bogan
Nobody mascots.
John Holmberg
No, no, I'm talking about just generally in life.
Brady Bogan
Oh yeah.
John Holmberg
Nobody's gonna 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 Holmberg
No, It'd be like 30 years later, even Disneyland, man. You still go through the pile of pictures in the drawer and you're like.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah, but you keep your picture with Mickey.
John Holmberg
Who? With Mickey Mouse. Yeah, yeah. But it's in a drawer.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
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.
Brady Bogan
That's hitting the bottom Baxter easier than.
John Holmberg
I'm still not keeping that. That a picture of me and Baxter. That's not hard to get. So I. You know so there's very little even like television commercials. There's very little evidence that Brady had this job.
Brett Fesley
I'm literally on YouTube right now trying to find it and I can't find anything.
John Holmberg
Yeah. This guy just even said it. I've been saying that for 20 plus years. There is no evidence of Drew Hay better existing at all. Online magazines nearly impossible.
Brady Bogan
First couple editions of the the Diamondback we're on the COVID one the one of the issues and then another Diamondbacks magazine. Yeah they had.
John Holmberg
See they even keep those around. I didn't even 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 Holmberg
Well they do it with. They're not going to send magazines anymore. They'll send you like. 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 Holmberg
Well if anybody's got it, Brady will pay a hundred dollars per photo. If 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 that's been autographed by Brady. And $100 for any photo you have of Brady as his drew. Hey, better. 100 bucks in your pocket guaranteed from Brady Bogan. There you go, buddy. I did that for you. Thank you.
Brady Bogan
Couple of basis fun facts. It's possible to be allergic to other people.
John Holmberg
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.
Brett Fesley
Oh, let's see.
John Holmberg
Jim Wilson has this but. Oh man, he hangs on to it.
Brady Bogan
He keeps that in his wallet.
John Holmberg
James says pay up. Well, you're texting the wrong guy. Jimmy.
Brady Bogan
We knew he'd be in right away.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
I'll take a word.
Brady Bogan
Scientists think it keeps their droppings from rolling away, which rom they. They use it to mark their territory.
John Holmberg
They poop little squares.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
On hills.
Brady Bogan
So it keeps the. Yeah, it must be hilly terrain. A contronym is a word that can mean two things that are opposites.
John Holmberg
It contradicts itself, like rent.
Brady Bogan
I got a list of contro nyms if dust.
John Holmberg
Yep. Because you can act as. You can remove dust or you can add dust.
Brady Bogan
Lease left to depart or to remain.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Buckle to fasten or collapse.
John Holmberg
Oh, wow. Never would have thought of that.
Brady Bogan
Ravel. To separate or to entangle. Cleave.
John Holmberg
Ooh.
Brady Bogan
To adhere or to split.
John Holmberg
Interesting. Never heard it. To adhere. Contro nymphs. 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 Holmberg
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 healthcare 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 Holmberg
So you're saying that working really hard, you have a boiling point and you will snap, huh?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
They did a scientific study about that.
Dick Toledo
Imagine if only they had examples.
John Holmberg
Yes, exactly. Wonder what made them want to do this. 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 Holmberg
Wait a minute.
Brady Bogan
During the workday provided by Gen Z.
John Holmberg
Is asking for horror rooms in the office. Well, damn it all. Just when I thought I couldn't. I love this generation more alone or.
Brady Bogan
With a co worker.
John Holmberg
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 gonna 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 Holmberg
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 poem. Somebody thought, you know, what we should do is since we work back in the office now, have our own private spaces that.
Dick Toledo
I think it'll help with my productivity.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
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, you want.
Brady Bogan
To meet me in the break room.
John Holmberg
Break room. That's different. Well, that's getting soda in a Danish.
Brady Bogan
What do they call that?
John Holmberg
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. That's different.
Brady Bogan
I got a quick Wild America, right?
John Holmberg
And go.
Brady Bogan
Hello, my friends. I'm Brady Bogan, 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 Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Basically, your hummingbird feeder. The sugar water spoils faster than you think.
John Holmberg
Oh.
Brady Bogan
Especially in warmer weather here.
John Holmberg
It's terrible.
Brady Bogan
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 Holmberg
Might as well be meth.
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 Holmberg
Dirty feeders, A good band name.
Brady Bogan
How often should you clean them?
John Holmberg
Every day.
Brady Bogan
Every day or two.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You've got sugar rotting in a tube in your backyard.
Brett Fesley
Nobody's doing that.
Dick Toledo
No, of course, vinegar isn't.
John Holmberg
It doesn't.
Dick Toledo
Sugar just.
Brady Bogan
It does. It can get that. And then.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
It can be a little bit of wild world in your backyard.
John Holmberg
With the hummingbirds.
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah. She's caught them a couple.
John Holmberg
Oh, she eats them.
Brady Bogan
Oh, that's impressive.
John Holmberg
That's really impressive.
Dick Toledo
She came in, so use the.
John Holmberg
Well, hold on. You drew in the hummingbirds with a feeder, and she was eating them.
Dick Toledo
Lisa did it unintentionally. She was doing the hummingbird, and the.
John Holmberg
Cat was eating the hummingbirds while they.
Dick Toledo
Would stay on the fence line and just stalk them.
John Holmberg
So she's complicit it in the crime. Oh, yeah. She brought the food to the minute. Yeah, she did.
Brady Bogan
Assist.
John Holmberg
That's an assist. Yep. 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 Holmberg
Yeah. Megan Stanley.
Brady Bogan
We just got a new one.
John Holmberg
Why?
Brett Fesley
We got one out there.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Whose is this it?
Dick Toledo
I have no idea.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, Katie KB Came along and long Paul's inevitable. We had hummingbird feeders. You have one at your house?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
You still put a feeder in.
Brady Bogan
It was already there.
John Holmberg
Oh, so they. They like my kestrels. They just made camp. That's dope. And again, like I said, when you're feeding the wildlife, you invite the homeless ones. They show up and put up their parents. 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 stop them from doing the nest anymore. Too much.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. Do you go outside just about. A bigger one.
Brady Bogan
No.
John Holmberg
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 wash it out.
John Holmberg
I bet you Kirby uses it.
Brett Fesley
Oh yeah.
Brady Bogan
Turn into a decent bone.
John Holmberg
Oh, it's a bond all right. I've seen it. Hummingbird feeders are good bones. Yeah. I don't get that because how dull is your life? Oh, bird like.
Brady Bogan
I mean, hummingbirds are kind of cool.
John Holmberg
For how long?
Brady Bogan
A couple seconds.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
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 Holmberg
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 and eat.
Brady Bogan
You're watching tv.
John Holmberg
It's sad. You see smoking, smoking some brisket, staring at ncis.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Probably because most people. Yeah, most people. Most people who love hummingbirds are watching blue bloods.
Brady Bogan
A 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 that had taken place.
John Holmberg
They called and said there's no shooting. That's weird.
Brady Bogan
Samuel did.
John Holmberg
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 she was being 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 Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Yeah, Holmberg's morning sickness. 600 of them at that one particular.
Brady Bogan
Barbecue at that family.
John Holmberg
Oh, not the complaints towards that family. Whenever they. I see. Okay.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, he doesn't like that family.
John Holmberg
No.
Brady Bogan
He's accused them of having narcotics sales, firearms usage, disorderly conduct.
John Holmberg
He just wants him gone.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. It's unclear why the police haven't cut him off from calling.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you've abused it.
Brady Bogan
Salmon was arrested for stalking and filing a false report court. He was also charged with resisting arrest for tussling with the officers when he tried.
John Holmberg
He's gonna flip out and kill that family. I watch Fear Thy Neighbor.
Brady Bogan
This is about, say, there's no evidence of mental health issues. He's just a 911 abuser.
John Holmberg
Okay, watch Fear Thy Neighbor because the next step after this is usually a family member on tv on the ID channel. Saying. 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 Holmberg
That's gonna kill everybody.
Brett Fesley
It's over.
Brady Bogan
Intoxication, passing bad checks, violating probation.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you can't cut him off from 91 1.
Brady Bogan
Here's your guy, Samuel, if you're running into him.
John Holmberg
All right.
Dick Toledo
Oh, the raised eyebrow.
John Holmberg
It's like 72 years old. He does look like. He looks like DJ Yella.
Brett Fesley
That is yellow.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Coming in about Brady. Yeah, he owes him a hundred dollars. 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 mascot, his replacement.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, I Do not.
John Holmberg
That's. That's DJ Yellow is on our screen. And that's the guy who's gonna kill his neighbor soon.
Ryan Reynolds
Dad.
John Holmberg
Well, DJL is. Yeah. Color versus the black and white.
Dick Toledo
Another one says John. I worked full, full time security at the Bob.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Three times.
John Holmberg
Three.
Dick Toledo
I assisted Brady with overeager 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 Holmberg
Wow, what a dick. Here's the thing. I didn't say that. Yeah, you did. You went to the office for that. I'm tired of these pricks calling me by my brain name. But I'm here. I'm Drew. Hey batter.
Brady Bogan
Whoa, man.
Brett Fesley
Brady Day Lewis over here.
John Holmberg
He used to get into character 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 yellow. Drew, can I. Can I use the bathroom when Drew is done? You may use the bathroom.
Brett Fesley
Etc, man.
John Holmberg
So photographic evidence or some sort of memo from the Diamondbacks? Yeah, that says you're not allowed to call him Brady. Cuz that doesn't surprise me at all. He was an.
Dick Toledo
He says. Unfortunately that was about nine phones ago, so I think they've been lost.
John Holmberg
At least there weren't. There weren't picture phones when Brady did this.
Brett Fesley
Probably wasn't allowed to take pictures of Brady.
John Holmberg
Well, not for charged.
Brady Bogan
You ask for permission.
John Holmberg
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
Don't blow it.
John Holmberg
Call me Drew. Hey, better get out of my face. Hilarious. Yeah, we just. We. You just wrote the an episode for Fear Thy Neighbor. Every single one of them. The cops are there 20, 30, 40, 50 times before they're like you, you quit calling us and then the dude.
Brady Bogan
Not until something happens.
John Holmberg
Well, if something will happen, right? That door's getting kicked in. Next barbecue there's going to be a bunch of dead people.
Dick Toledo
What'd you say the name of the show was?
John Holmberg
Fear Thy Neighbor.
Dick Toledo
Fear thy Neighbor.
John Holmberg
Every one of them. The blueprint is the cops were called hundreds of times and One of the two of them usually abuses 911 and the cops can't do anything about it because they're just bickering. And the cops always say stop calling. And then dude's like fine. And then the one guy goes to jail for calling too often and he comes Back and shoots people in the middle of the night. Guaranteed DJ Yellow is going to kill his neighbors. And he's a black guy. What's he mad about the barbecue across the street for? He's beyond. Get over there. Just be nicer and you'll get some of that sweet, sweet rib. I don't get it.
Brady Bogan
Did you see the latest Trump? There's a couple Items. New merchandise.
John Holmberg
One phone.
Brady Bogan
Trump mobile.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the gold phone.
Brady Bogan
47.45Amonth. 47.45.
John Holmberg
I get it.
Dick Toledo
I like how you didn't flip them.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. Get the extra two bucks in there. I don't want to dick around with 45 phone. That's cheap.
Brady Bogan
And you get the gold phone for 499.
John Holmberg
They're not that expensive. The phone. The gold phone. Yeah, but who makes it is the bigger thing. I know it's.
Brady Bogan
It's.
Brett Fesley
China.
John Holmberg
It's team don't liberal phone. All right, let the. Let the men talk about this for a second. How who makes the phone? He may be right. But let's not jump to conclusions. We know Toledo's thoughts.
Brady Bogan
They show a picture. I don't see a list of the company. They just say it's a. It's not an iPhone.
John Holmberg
Right. Apple didn't make it.
Brady Bogan
What's the other platform?
John Holmberg
Huawei.
Dick Toledo
Well, it's Android. Is Android platform or Google? Those are the three.
John Holmberg
I had it made in China. I made a deal with Jijing, said.
Dick Toledo
It was going to be manufactured here.
John Holmberg
Well, I thought so, but have you seen those prices? I can't sell a phone for 4745amonth. You got to do business better than that. Toledo and could it. Toledo is not very bright, is he, Brady? He's not a bright man. A lot of people say space bit. He's not. He's not a good China. They build phones.
Brady Bogan
Trump Mobile. There's the picture of the phone.
John Holmberg
It's cool. Yeah, I saw the gold phone. He's holding it. So he's using it, which is. He's putting his money where his mouth is.
Brady Bogan
You're also. The other item. Is the Trump instant pot.
John Holmberg
Is this allowed?
Dick Toledo
No.
Brady Bogan
I don't know.
John Holmberg
I don't know. Toledo again. You have to pull away from this.
Brett Fesley
Nobody's listening.
John Holmberg
You're just saying it because you're angry. You don't know for sure.
Dick Toledo
I'm not angry.
Brady Bogan
I'm just.
John Holmberg
You just shouted no too quickly. It was very. Don't do it. You don't know that.
Dick Toledo
I do know that the emoluments clause.
John Holmberg
All right, go on.
Dick Toledo
You can't do things that enrich your.
John Holmberg
It's Trump. Donald Trump.
Dick Toledo
No, but he's supposed to be out of that business.
Brett Fesley
He is his kid running it. From what I understand. It's Eric.
John Holmberg
Don Jr. His daughter.
Brett Fesley
I think it's Eric.
Dick Toledo
Eric on that one.
John Holmberg
Okay. So this Trump phone is his son's ID idea. He's allowed to make as much money as he'd like. This communist over here.
Brett Fesley
Unbelievable.
John Holmberg
Take away from the whole fame. There's a monument clause. I'm not doing anything. Toledo is just a typical MSNBC guy.
Brady Bogan
Trump bibles. There's going to be some Trump China. That's right.
John Holmberg
Trump China. Made in the usa. Good China. The best China's made right here in San Francisco by the Chinese who immigrated. Get their little tiny Chinese hands in there making the plates. Of course you'll get. You'll get the naysayers out there, hey, can I do this? And you'll hear that the Toledoes of the world immediately firing off no. And suddenly they know about the monument clause. Saw that on Ms. Dnc.
Brady Bogan
Let's get some.
John Holmberg
That happened at your house. House. That was an argument one night over dinner. That's why. You know that clause. No.
Dick Toledo
No.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. That's not something you carry. That's come up recently.
Dick Toledo
I've seen it on msn.
John Holmberg
I told you. What did I say? MSDNC taught him everything he knows.
Dick Toledo
First in the first time.
John Holmberg
No kings.
Dick Toledo
That came up.
John Holmberg
No kings. Meanwhile your party decided to have an entire just anointment of a candidate. No votes. But I'm the king. I guess that's how it works around here. Anyway. By my new Trump crowns. It's all for Eric. It's a beautiful thing. No kings. But Trump crowns. Beautiful pictures of Eric's dad on there. Eric's dad. That's right. Can't say it's me because you'll. The MSDNC is a breakout. There are monument clauses. Can't have a crown with my hat on it. But what are you going to do? Crown royal is a great idea. New Trump crown or Trump high tops. The.
Brady Bogan
The.
John Holmberg
The hair force ones. The amazing shoes that I put on. Course that's where Toledo and his wife shouted each other at night over Emmett. Them and that dude Rachel Maddow just yelling at each other in the tv. He can't do it. He can't do it. But look, I'm doing it, Brad. I'm doing it. Would you like to buy a phone? Brett? You're allowed. Yeah.
Brett Fesley
I gotcha.
John Holmberg
It only makes calls to people on the right. Every time you try to call Rachel Maddow, it connects you directly to Sean Hannity.
Brady Bogan
I mean, you think about it every now. I mean, Billy Beer.
John Holmberg
Yeah. The brothers are allowed to do stuff. Another lib cuck nightmare. Of course, even his brother wanted to spend his time drunk while Carter was president. We all had. Oh.
Brady Bogan
First one's a girl on a golf cart.
John Holmberg
A really hot one.
Dick Toledo
John's experience.
Brady Bogan
Slap jagging around.
John Holmberg
This looks like Page. She's dancing on the side of a moving golf cart. She's gonna fall off. Off taking a sip. Oh, she takes a step to fall out of the cart.
Dick Toledo
Might be in the protocol.
John Holmberg
She's muscular. Oh, yeah, she ate it. That's fun to watch. It's fun when hot blondes fall out of golf carts.
Brady Bogan
Got a fight on this next one.
John Holmberg
Okay. Is that a gallows? Okay. They're in a bar with a gallows.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Little dude spits on a big dude and then he takes two punches. Is that man wearing a brave feather?
Brady Bogan
It looks like it.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
He's got a.
John Holmberg
He's got a hog feather back of his hat.
Dick Toledo
Maybe it's kestrel.
John Holmberg
And then everybody's in masks. This looks like.
Dick Toledo
Oh, why take off your glasses to spit on somebody?
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's a good question. Don't spit on guys that at all. Ever. That's a beat down. Well, that's three good punches. And he mops the floor with that dude. Although the big guy started it by throwing his drink in his face. Okay, don't spit on people. Like I always say, they spit, we hit. That's how it works. Toledo hates that. He and his wife will argue with Rachel Maddow tonight. Okay, well, let your wife tell you what you think about that later tonight. Ask her what she thinks you think. Because that's what's going to happen. That's what most, most cucks do.
Brady Bogan
That.
John Holmberg
You know that, Brett.
Brett Fesley
I know.
John Holmberg
Rachel Maddow tells their wives what to think. And then they come home with an opinion and that. And then their wives tell them, no, you don't think that anymore. And they. And they go ahead and they start saying a monument clause. They say words like that. Nobody knew what that was. That was never a thing. Never a thing till just now. And now Eric Trump can't make money because Toledo said so. I don't understand.
Dick Toledo
I don't think you've had any problem making money.
John Holmberg
That's exactly right, Richard. Because I'm a smart man. How have you Been doing. Do you need another loan?
Dick Toledo
Are you offering?
John Holmberg
Not to you. Because I want it paid back.
Dick Toledo
Damn it.
John Holmberg
I like when people pay loans back.
Dick Toledo
Wait a minute.
John Holmberg
Do you have any enriched minerals? Every one of them. Do you have any enriched minerals in your backyard? Probably not. Do you hear how fast he was to shoot down all that? No. The monument clause. It's fun. It's fun being in the middle and seeing people go crazy.
Brady Bogan
The last. Brady. Vito, a guy needs a Kleenex.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. I'm looking at the still shot. Oh, he sneaks squeezed out a gallon of snot, and it's just stuck to his. Honestly, Brady, let me ask this question. Peter north to the face or that guy, what do you take?
Brett Fesley
Oh.
Brady Bogan
I'm taking the north.
John Holmberg
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 Holmberg
Yeah, Peter north gives you a full A100 decoration north style. Or that guy comes in and sneezes that on you.
Brett Fesley
I'll take the legendary.
John Holmberg
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 Fesley
No.
John Holmberg
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 bottom. 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. I'm a good guy. I see both sides. I'm a president for all Americans, and I talked him into covering with your insurance TDS So you can go ahead, go to the doctor and get fixed up for your Trump derangement syndrome, which you clearly have. And you're welcome.
Dick Toledo
Thank you, sir.
John Holmberg
All right, Bert, what do you got?
Brett Fesley
Clyde just emailed in. Please tell me your company provides therapy for employees suffer from that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the tds. It's a real thing. I'm not gonna lie to you. It's a real thing.
Brett Fesley
All right, we're light today and quick, so let's go through them. This is. Well, when you get a flat tire, this is who you want show up to fix your tire.
John Holmberg
Oh. Oh, geez. She's a lady with no pants on. She's got the tire iron in her. In her body parts. She's pretty.
Brett Fesley
She's got hillbilly.
John Holmberg
She's definitely got hillbilly. Face. 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 Holmberg
Oh, well, probably because she's putting that rusty thing in there.
Brett Fesley
I think you're just immune to it when you're from those states.
John Holmberg
She didn't get any vaccines, so.
Brett Fesley
No, you're just born with immunity from that.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Maybe that's to pass down generation to generation.
Brady Bogan
Tough.
John Holmberg
Because you could have rust all day long. Good band name. Another good band name. The rust C word. Oh, boy. All right. Scrotum, ac. Acupuncture, that's a negotiation. Okay. There's 30 or 40 needles in this guy. Scrotum.
Dick Toledo
And one of his nipples.
John Holmberg
Yeah. He's got a couple in his. Running it up the side of his penis and they're working them all the way up there. We're looking at probably 50 needles all the way through. Yeah. And then the goat screams. Yeah.
Brett Fesley
And then we'll just end.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Brett Fesley
Just end here.
Dick Toledo
Is that an actual website? Crazy. S.com has to be, right?
John Holmberg
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. This. This Big Montana, she's got. Oh, God. Oh, there's blood. There's blood coming out. Oh, she's finger painting. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Brett Fesley
Getting in some replay show.
Brady Bogan
Seen her before.
John Holmberg
What's the whole point of the butt part? To turn around and show us that the. The Big Montana is rare enough attention.
Dick Toledo
To know if we.
John Holmberg
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 Fesley
That's what I got today.
John Holmberg
Oh, that made. 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 Fesley
It's like she couldn't get the rose butt out or something, so she just flipped it over.
John Holmberg
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. I was going to rosebud for it. 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.
Brady Bogan
It does seem like there's a release switch in there.
John Holmberg
I'm not willing to try and find.
Brett Fesley
Mine, but just go down hall and ask him. They'll tell you.
John Holmberg
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 Madden? So you're a real man.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
See what I did? Ready called Rachel Maddow a real man because that's what she like.
Brady Bogan
I definitely call Tim Waltz today.
John Holmberg
Tim. I'm not going to call Tim Waltz. He's a mess. He's an idiot. I'm not gonna. I would, but what's the point? He just screw it all up. It's 8:15. There you go. My God. That literally gave me chills. I got that is that is not a gently used lady bit?
Brett Fesley
No.
John Holmberg
That thing has been thrashed. Yes, thrashed. 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. I know. It's been beaten up pretty bad. 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 Holmberg
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. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio. Radio station.
Dick Toledo
You thought that was funny?
John Holmberg
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? And we're very proud two weeks in a row now to have local superstars on the phone Right now is Mr. David Spade. Mr. Spade, are you there?
Ryan Reynolds
Who else did you have? Irma Bomback?
John Holmberg
Yep, we had Irma Bomback and Linda Carter. Last week we had a cook off right here on this. It was great.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Who was last week with Michael Longfellow.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, okay. I know him.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Good job.
John Holmberg
From snl. And he was in town and came down here, which was pretty cool. And you. Are you. Since Irma Bombeck and Linda Carter and maybe Alice Cooper, which. I'm a little bit tired of that one. You're probably our most famous person from Phoenix, don't you think?
Ryan Reynolds
I like to hear that. But you know what? I saw some top 10 list. I wasn't even on it. I'm like, okay, that's enough.
John Holmberg
Who was on it?
Ryan Reynolds
It's like huge. I think Hugh down.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, He's.
Ryan Reynolds
He's always in there wiggling in the top five and. But I can't think of who. If there was a good. Oh, Emma Stone. That's legit.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's a big one. Yeah, that's true.
Ryan Reynolds
She's Tucson, I think.
John Holmberg
But yeah, she doesn't claim it.
Ryan Reynolds
Barry Goldwater is getting up there. He's got to be pretty old.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's still. He's still good, though, I think in.
Ryan Reynolds
You know, it's funny because I. When I was in Casa Grande when I grew up, my brother kupd's been around a while.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Just. I don't know if you guys know, but. So he wrote KUPD on his wall with paint and my mom was like, oh, they're devil worshipers. Couldn't even deal with it. Sheep. Because it was like in five foot letters. I'm like, brian, what are you doing? But we were Casa Grande. We were like, hey, man, this is.
John Holmberg
But honestly, David, if somebody is painting radio station call letters on their wall in 5ft length, they might be devil worshippers. I think that might be.
Ryan Reynolds
No, no, they were saying you guys are. They were.
John Holmberg
Oh, oh, I see.
Ryan Reynolds
Indoctrinating him.
John Holmberg
Well, we were.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't think you guys were there then. It was the wild one, Dave Pratt.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, you were back in the day. Yeah. Back when that thief was on the air. We'll get into that in a little bit.
Ryan Reynolds
It's so disgusting.
John Holmberg
When you. Now, let me ask you this now, when you. Because you graduated Saguaro High School, correct?
Ryan Reynolds
I think so.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, something like that. So it was over in Scottsdale. You're in that area when you.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Holmberg
When you started getting sort of some. Some serious notoriety and then came back to town. Who. And they may be listening today, which is why I want you to Answer this honestly. Who did you want to first rub the fame in their face? Who would. Saguaro High School was the one. You're like, this one's going to eat it the most.
Ryan Reynolds
God, I don't know. Because I was such a. I was pretty friendly with most of the people that I wasn't really. That I was just like, which girls will be nice to me now? But that. That doesn't even work out exactly right. It was. It wasn't. You know, the one funny thing I did is when we were doing that movie Black Sheep a while ago. It wasn't that far after Saguaro, but we came to town. I think we were doing like a Planet Hollywood or something dumb. But me and Farley, I go, I'll go show you my old high school. So we went over there, there. And then we went to the office, and we got on the loudspeaker, made fake announcements, and we were like, we're having a bake sale. You know, we're just making up stuff. And then Farley's like, The principal is Mrs. Court. He's like, oh, put your shirt on. And she's like, don't say that. But we started just making up stuff. And it was getting weirder and weirder, and people in classes looking up, going, what's going on? And then they figured it out.
John Holmberg
Hold on. You. Without telling people who you were, you just. The student body assumed there was in a sexual assault during the announcements.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, yeah. This is the microphone to the whole school. We're like, okay. We just started going, hey, guys, sorry to interrupt your class, but the BMX championship is canceled after school. And everyone's like, oh, it is. Like, they didn't know it was. You know. So we just. Then we start getting worse and worse until they finally had to grab it and go, I get out of here.
John Holmberg
There's no nudity. No nudity on the morning.
Ryan Reynolds
But it's funny because I run into people that go, hey, dude, I was in class once, and you guys got. I was like, oh, you were there for that?
John Holmberg
That is so cool to just be able to have that kind of juice to wander in and go, give me the mic and just talk to these guys.
Ryan Reynolds
To picture Farley going, for the love of God, that would be awesome. Not knowing what's happening. She's like, ow, you're hurting me.
John Holmberg
Wait a minute. Were you actually assaulting her? That would have made it even better.
Ryan Reynolds
No, we were laughing, and she's waving hands. Go, guys, no, no, don't say this right yeah.
John Holmberg
So you didn't come back and, like, take advantage of spade fame?
Ryan Reynolds
No, I mean, I still go back and go to all the stupid places I used to go. And I do like going back there. I remember because when I'm doing Celebrity, and I went to Celebrity Theater when I was, I think, 14 and saw George Carlin there.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Ryan Reynolds
Celebrity's been around, too.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah. Long time. We've done a lot of stuff there. Yeah, you're there Friday night.
Ryan Reynolds
Celebrity Theater's great.
John Holmberg
Great. Yeah, that Friday. And I got married in the Celebrity Theater. Yeah, we married Brady.
Ryan Reynolds
No, you did not.
John Holmberg
We did. We had a big show and married Brady right there on the stage at Celebrity Theater.
Ryan Reynolds
In the round.
Brady Bogan
In the round.
John Holmberg
So that kind of negates the importance of your gig Friday that we.
Ryan Reynolds
I know. We got. Who are they turning away?
John Holmberg
Yeah, exactly. They'll let anybody out there. It's no big deal.
Ryan Reynolds
And also, did you air it on the radio show?
John Holmberg
That's right. It was on radio in the morning.
Ryan Reynolds
Was it?
John Holmberg
Why? Yeah, we painted it on the walls and everything. Friday, you're at Celebrity Theater. You can get tickets at Ticketmaster. And then Thursday, you evidently lost a bet and you have to go down to Tucson and do a show.
Ryan Reynolds
You know what's funny is that I haven't been to Tucson. I haven't performed in Tucson in so long. It's at the Linda Ronstadt Theater. Did she go to U of A or something?
John Holmberg
Yeah, she's from Tucson. I was wondering. Yeah, she's from there. Yeah, she's super famous down in Tucson. Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
I love her.
Ryan Reynolds
I'll give her. She could be number one out there in Arizona.
John Holmberg
There you go.
Ryan Reynolds
But it's gonna be fun because I don't know, you know, I haven't been to Dirt Bags in a while. Or all those bars down there.
John Holmberg
They got a Dirt Bags up here now. You don't even have to go all the way to. No way. It's right over in Arcadia. You can pop over to 44th and.
Ryan Reynolds
32 years later, they decide to expand.
John Holmberg
They just raised enough money to finally go. Let's open another one. We're doing.
Ryan Reynolds
Hey, I'm an angel investor.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we're pretty good now. I think we can. I think we can make that move. David, I have to. Gonna go ahead.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay. I was gonna ask if there's a new minder. Binders, actually.
John Holmberg
Funny. They closed it.
Ryan Reynolds
Reboot it.
John Holmberg
They did. They did. They. They 2.0 it. And it's equally as smelly and awful.
Ryan Reynolds
As the first one I was at Arizona State. They're like, let's go to the vine. It's 90 for one. I'm like, what? I'm talking about getting wasted.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Was that where you hung out a lot down. Were you a Mill Avenue rat?
Ryan Reynolds
For a while, I'd go to minor, but yeah, I do whatever. Everyone did.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that was it. And then you just.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, of course.
John Holmberg
What did you go to ASU for?
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know. I went there. My brother went. And then I started doing stand up, and I was a pledge. And they're like, I didn't know they were. First they were kissing my ass for the pledge week, and then a week later, they're like, hey, scrub my butt with a toothbrush. I'm like, I'm sorry, is this a freak off?
John Holmberg
I don't do that.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm the guy. You were kissing their ass a week ago. And then they're like, go get some river rocks for me. At 3:00am I go, guys, what's going on here? This seemed to take a turn for the worse. They're like, you're a pledge, you loser. I'm like, oh, no. And so I was stuck there for semesters and just barely staying, literally staying alive. They're throwing paprika on me every day. I'm like, what's happening? So I wound up getting through it, and then I just left to do standup.
John Holmberg
Just left to be famous somewhere else.
Ryan Reynolds
I left and said, listen, I literally had. I go, if I can make 80 bucks a week doing stand up, I think I can do this. And everyone's like, I think you're lowballing it a bit.
John Holmberg
It might be dropping down a little. I have to tell you that you're on the show today because of Frank Caliendo. Now, he said that he told you to be on the show to promote Friday. And then he. But I don't know if he told you the end of that. That he said when he. When he text me, he said, if you guys get Spade on there and tell him, or I'll tell him that I helped with that, it might help me get on Spade's podcast with Dana. Carve true at all that this will.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes, for sure.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Ryan Reynolds
We do like Frank and he's funny. Yeah, yeah, we love it because Dana is an impressionist too. And Frank's so good that. And my buddy Jody's always listening to you guys in Arizona still. He went to school with me and he's like, you got to get on there because it's so hilarious every day. And. And so Caliano is very welcome to come on. I hit him up, and I said, you got to come on.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's what I was. Because I told Frank, I said, I think you're selling yourself short, that you need me to be, like, the last step for you to get on. I think you're gonna get on there. I think these guys want you on there or they don't. I don't think I can help at all.
Ryan Reynolds
No, we're lowering the standards. Next week, we're gonna have scenes from your wedding.
John Holmberg
Oh, good.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Well, there might be some pictures of that wedding when you're there Friday. We might.
Ryan Reynolds
We might put some highlights. Oh, yeah, you're gonna bring. Oh, yeah. Okay, good. I'm looking forward to it.
John Holmberg
Yeah. The album will be up on the screen.
Ryan Reynolds
Here's my crowd work. Someone goes, hey, David. And I go kick them out.
John Holmberg
I might test that. I might get a front row seat.
Ryan Reynolds
Just funny when I go. Because celebrities, like, really a nice, like, 2700 seater. But if I go on the road with. I mean, not like Shane Gillis, but if. Even when the days when I go out with Adam or jump on with him and we do one of those where it's like, 10,000 seats, it's very hard to do my mumbly, like, throwaway jokes when. When it's 10,000 people yelling benchwarmers, you know, between. If there's one second of silence. And so it's very hard to do my subtle, hilarious, very thinky act.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to do too much thinking. It's too cerebral for a giant.
Ryan Reynolds
I know. Everyone's just grabbing their head going, this is so complex.
John Holmberg
I was with. This is not in any way try to brag, because it isn't. And you'll know in a second. What. I was with John Lovitz, and I was showing him Scottsdale, like, old town Scottsdale. And speaking of bench warmers and a girl. And he. And the waitress came up, and this was a great moment that I watched his face go from happy Lovitz to miserable Lovitz in like, half a second. Because the waitress came by and he said, do you know who I am? Like, immediately, the first thing when she came, not even like, can I get you. Do you know who I am? And then he goes, do you know who this guy is? And she didn't know either of us. And then she said. She said, you were familiar. And I said, do you know who David Spade is? And she goes, oh, yeah. And I said, oh, no. I said, that guy knows him. And he lost it. Like, he said, well, that's not how you introduce anybody to anyone ever. And he was very bothered by that. And then she went on about bench warmers for about 20 minutes. And I said, you're the one.
Ryan Reynolds
He kept saying, I'm in bench warmer.
John Holmberg
She sort of, like, casually remembered that, but she really remembered you. And it was wildly impressive.
Ryan Reynolds
The guy in the closet. Howie. Yeah. She said, you go, do you know who I am? And she goes, his grandson.
John Holmberg
Well, somebody did that, too. And she said, is this your son? And I said, yeah. And. And Lovett's and I are, like, 13 years apart. That is not my son. Like, he gets so offended so quickly. It's fun, but an old. He does not fit in an old town Scottsdale at all.
Ryan Reynolds
I just saw Lovett's this weekend. We golf. He goes, I'm. And every time he puts it in, he goes, another eagle. And I go, I don't know if you know what an eagle is.
John Holmberg
Yeah, four over par.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Four and a half hours with Lovett's, which. That's a lot.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. Love. It is fun. So you got to hang out. That's good.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, this place is a good time, man. I. I miss Saguaro. I'm. I sometimes drive back, but it's. It's, like, chained up, you know, it's not as loosey goosey as it used to be. It's like walls and.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You're not allowed to just wander on campuses like we used to and take over the intercom as an adult. That's probably. I know.
Ryan Reynolds
It used to be.
John Holmberg
Oh, the good old days when adults used to wander the campus freely. Those good old days. I remember that now.
Ryan Reynolds
I get carjacked. Yeah. I'm scared, but I just saw there was something. Oh, you guys got the Phoenix Open. The Phoenix Open, which they changed. Like, the garbage can open, which is the worst idea. What is it called?
John Holmberg
Waste management. Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, yeah. Worse. Who cleared that? And then you got a lot going on. The Cardinals are coming up. Really bump in there.
John Holmberg
You don't. You don't have a place here or care to ever again.
Ryan Reynolds
No, I just have a pile of money, and I used to store it.
John Holmberg
Oh, okay. Well, that's good. Yeah. So you're keeping your roots. I get it. Yeah. That's sweet.
Ryan Reynolds
When I. I used to bus at Scottsdale. No, I dishwashed at Scottsdale Conference center, and then I was a busboy at. All those places are closed. At the quilted bear.
John Holmberg
The quilted bear still open, is it?
Brady Bogan
I think it is.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. I didn't know that.
Ryan Reynolds
Over on Lincoln. Yeah, yeah, it was. I was there. I was just getting constantly fired. My mom was like, oh, not again. You can't do anything. I. I'm like, I know, but maybe my joke mumbling will take off.
John Holmberg
And who knew? Did she try to encourage the joke mumbling? Was she encouraging of your career?
Ryan Reynolds
She actually really was. She's so funny. Like, because she's such a typical mom. Like, the other day she added me onto like a 44 person text chat with people. I don't even know who they are. And I'm like, mom, am I supposed to be on there? She's like, oh, say something. It'd be fun. I'm. I'm like, I don't know what this is about or what they're talking about. And who's Dottie? She's like, oh, why did you get so show busy on me? Tell me what we're talking about. I don't. It's 400 phone numbers. There's no names. I thought this is an FBI trap.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, you'll get canceled.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I'm like, I'm not talking to these people.
John Holmberg
Well, next time you're here, you need to come in. You need to come into the station. I know. You won't. That was a false way.
Ryan Reynolds
No, I will for sure.
John Holmberg
No way. Nick.
Ryan Reynolds
Narrator. He never did.
John Holmberg
And then is just show my. My tombstone and it says on there, spade never showed.
Ryan Reynolds
I never buzzed by like he said. He went. No, but I come from Tucson, so I have to drive up and then I fly to Albuquerque. A bq.
John Holmberg
Oh, man.
Ryan Reynolds
So I'm doing. Really? I go, just give me the three most boiling places in America right now.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Who's doing your booking? A meth addict. Like Tucson to Phoenix to Albuquerque is like, Walter White in charge of his.
Brady Bogan
Cartel is sponsoring the tour.
Ryan Reynolds
Exactly. By the way, I'm in a parking lot right now where I ate breakfast and I'm like, waiting for my crack dealer or whatever.
John Holmberg
It could happen.
Ryan Reynolds
He. He's late again. Not a good business guy. No, guys.
John Holmberg
Not as reliable as you'd think.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
So it's gonna be 112 in Tucson, so same here. You're gonna enjoy the sweatshirt at home. Yeah, I remember how many people are tricked into moving there, though. They're like, dude, Scottsdale's blowing up. I'm like, do you know about this dirty little secret of six months out of the year?
John Holmberg
It sneaks up on you, too. It's like it's never. It's never a surprise, but the weather always acts like it's the first time we've ever experienced it. Like, the news is always.
Ryan Reynolds
When it starts going bad again, you go, oh, my God, we're back already. With the oven mitts on my hands when I get in the car to grab the wheel.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Well, you get to experience it Friday. And you're going to be here. Tickets are at ticketmaster if you want to grab. Grab them. Phoenix celebrity theater, Friday night. Just one show Friday, right? You're doing the. The full.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. Tucson one. They're one. An ABQ one. And then. And there you go off to wherever after that. Yeah. So. But I appreciate you guys talking to me. It's nice. I always hear about it. Grew up on cupd. That's excited. And thank you.
John Holmberg
You need to come in more often, Come back home, visit the family, and say hi to all of us more often. We're very.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm just there. It's easier because I do come in, but when it's jammed like this.
Brett Fesley
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, no, I get it. Yeah. I would dodge it, too. And also, we're very proud of you. You realize that, right?
Ryan Reynolds
Thank you, buddy.
John Holmberg
That's true.
Ryan Reynolds
You're like. It's easy. You park. You go downtown. You park in a building two blocks away on the fourth level. Argyle meet you, and then you valet. Then you. That's. It's shelf park. Yeah. No, I know. It's going to be a. It'll be a cakewalk.
John Holmberg
It'll be. You've done this before. You're not afraid or anything, are you? Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
They're like, Usually it's different. It's like the morning zoo crew in Tulsa, and they're like, okay, hold. Before you get on, it's going to be mongo, bebop, and there's a robot, and you'll hear a parakeet. I'm like, sorry, what? They're like, you're on. I'm like, hey, beep, boop, boop.
John Holmberg
Well, we didn't have the parakeet today. He's not feeling well, but otherwise. Thanks.
Ryan Reynolds
You guys are funny, and I appreciate the service you're doing.
John Holmberg
Always, always be nice to be nice to caliento. And thanks for taking the time this morning. We'll see you first. Friday.
Ryan Reynolds
100%. Guys, I'm trying to catch up to Emma's phone. I'm working on it.
John Holmberg
You'll get there. Thanks, David. We'll talk.
Ryan Reynolds
I'll get there.
John Holmberg
All right.
Ryan Reynolds
Bye, guys.
John Holmberg
Man. There you go. David Spade, everybody, at Celebrity Theater Friday night. Our own local. Local talent. That's what that's called. Local talent Friday at Celebrity Theater. If you're in Tucson, he's doing a Spanish speaking show at the Ronstadt. Ronstadt Music hall on Thursday nights. So that'd be fun as well. If you want to go down to the dirt bags and see David Spade, it's David Spade. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
Dick Toledo
You thought that was funny.
John Holmberg
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? That was cool. David Spade on with us this morning, and he's going to be here Friday. People asking me online, like, how much are the tickets? They're about. I think they're 89 something or not 90.89.90 or 89.40 something.
Dick Toledo
I saw 72 in Tucson and 90 here. 72 by the time you check out.
John Holmberg
Well, because it's American money. Right? Okay. Just making sure. Yeah, Spades up here. Yeah, it's good. It's great to see at the Celebrity Theater, too. So go see David Spade. That's a beautiful thing. I am. I also got an email from somebody earlier about Toledo getting mad at Trump. So immediately, because, you know, it came out quick, we all noticed that it was a very fat. It was reactionary tds. We think you may have it. We think you may have some Trump derangement. I think, look, I think it's funny because I don't like either side, but, man, I'm watching one side throw a huge baby fit. And the other side, if you can't beat Republicans, you're terrible. Because they're a mess right now.
Dick Toledo
Absolutely.
John Holmberg
And the Democrats are doing. They're making me like them. But this guy says after hearing Toledo's quick response to all of your Trump talk, I'm going to buy two Trump phones in honor of Toledo and his wife. Toledo, congratulate yourself. Your family just made more. His family just made more money. You just made Trump two more. Two more phone sales because of your tds. We can't. He did jump on that kind of quick. And all I said was he. Is he allowed to sell phones? No. What's it. What's the clause called?
Dick Toledo
The emoluments.
John Holmberg
The emoluments clause. I bet you there's posters at your house with, like, lines. We will not emoluments here. There will be no emolumating in the Toledo household. I Know what I'm getting you for your birthday though? Coming up here in July just to see if you are allowed in the. The house.
Dick Toledo
A phone.
John Holmberg
You're getting a Trump. Awesome. You're getting.
Brett Fesley
That's the company phone.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I think. Yeah. The new company phone is. And it's going to say 47 on the back of it. It's going to be all decked out. I'm going to get the family plan. So your whole. Everybody's got to use it. Would Lisa use a Trump phone if it was free?
Dick Toledo
No.
John Holmberg
Really?
Dick Toledo
Absolutely.
John Holmberg
She wouldn't. Even if I. If free Trump phone. Not using it. There's no way you've all got tds.
Dick Toledo
I didn't say I would use it.
John Holmberg
You wouldn't be allowed to use it. You'd have to hide that again. I've mentioned Walter White. You're gonna have to hide that up in the. The ceiling tiles. Anyway. It's very funny to me to watch people lose their minds over this. And then of course, now you're going to get it. It's all that low tea. Those commercials for low tea. Yeah, that's actually funny. Well, Rachel Matto sucks the tea right out of a fell. Not the old fashioned way either. Anyway. Hi, Larry. You just kind of scared me. Larry scared me. I just read this just seconds ago. The guy who survived the Indian era, that, that, that may actually believe there is some sort of higher power. I'm gonna lean towards polytheism now. I'm. I'm leaving your people brave.
Brady Bogan
Okay.
John Holmberg
All right. Because dude pops out of that plane, a Dreamliner, smashes into a building and guy walks away. Away. So like Ganesh is in the lead. To me, if there is a God, it's Ganesh, because Holy mother. But it does prove my point about humanity. Because within a week of this terrible tragedy, two airlines are now offering seat 11A for a little bit more like they're. It's not always 11. Yep.
Dick Toledo
Spirit and who else?
John Holmberg
Well, I'm not going to say who because it's. I don't know that it's confirmed, but I just looked and they're. And the, and the CEOs are saying, oh, those seats are very important. Here's the thing that nobody's talking about with seat 11A and the Survivor. When they, when you sit in the emergency aisle of a plane, that lady comes by and says, are you willing and able to assist in case of an emergency? I need a verbal yes. And of course, everybody.
Brett Fesley
Yeah, I got leg room.
Brady Bogan
It's only on a Specific plane because the long day.
John Holmberg
Well, I know. I'm just saying that's what you know what I'm saying. So you neck f the stewardess when she comes by says and proven in this Indian Air flight was there is no assisting or helping at all. You crack that door open and you get the off the plane. And that's what he did. There was nobody like, let me help, let me help. Dude's a sole survivor. Cuz he was sitting on the door. That's it. That door cracked open the second he realized there was trouble and he rolled out of the plane. He didn't help a soul.
Dick Toledo
So he was burning on one side.
John Holmberg
But you know what I'm saying.
Dick Toledo
No, no, I know. Absolutely.
John Holmberg
He didn't even look over his shoulder. That door opened and that's what everyone would do. So every emergency. So why not make every aisle have its own door? Ooh. That way we can all leap out.
Dick Toledo
Doesn't Boeing have enough problems right now?
John Holmberg
They do have door issues, yes, but I'm all right every other. Then let's. Let's. I'll pay a little extra if we can all get the 11A treatment. There's only two doors on the whole thing, for crying out loud. On the big boy. The dude didn't do any assisting. And let's be honest with ourselves. Whenever you've sat in that seat, you never thought, I'll help people out.
Brett Fesley
No, I'll open the door and jump out. I don't want to be in the way of everybody else. So no problem, buddies.
John Holmberg
It's not like somebody was decapitated. Billy wasn't in the emergency aisle. He had to step over folks to get to it. So he was helping pick people up and get them out of the plane while he was trying to escape too. But yes, he did help. And once he was on the ground, he started assisting. But he got off the plane. Nobody on that emergency aisle is going to stop and think of anyone else. It's Even if it's nope, you're out. And the only assisting you're going to do is opening that door. I've done all I can do here. I'm getting out of this plane.
Brady Bogan
But now the most effective way, most efficient too.
John Holmberg
Oh, get the hell out of there. But they don't care.
Brett Fesley
Making way for that.
John Holmberg
They're not. Look, read the pamphlet. Nobody's ever done that either. You're supposed to stand next to the door and escort folks. I watch a lot of air disasters. The job of the. That's what the stewardesses are trained to do. They're not jumping off.
Dick Toledo
What was it, that Toronto plane or whatever, where it was upside down and the stewardess is trying to help people out. She wanted to get off the plane.
John Holmberg
Of course she did. But somehow or another in her brain, she kept thinking, well, I'm gonna lose my job.
Brett Fesley
I'll find a new one.
John Holmberg
Just pump. I'll go. I'll go work puddle jumpers for a little while until I earn this back. So let's just stop with the pomp and circumstance of the whole. Will you be willing to help and assist? Can you open the door? I need a verbal. Yes. Yep. Are you going to help and assist? Probably not, sister. I'm. I'm probably. If. Does that thing inflate itself? I'm not blowing up anything either. I'm jumping off the plane. I. And if anything has taught us anything. Yeah, if anything's taught us anything. Anything. 11A taught us get off first. The best chance of survival is not hanging around. Leap. Leap to your doom.
Brady Bogan
Because they made it sound like he got ejected out of there.
John Holmberg
No, like the place.
Dick Toledo
No, he was on it when it landed, and then he got the F out.
John Holmberg
And there's a pilot that came on and he made a joke because he said, look, pilots usually get to the crash first, so they don't have much of a chance. We don't put doors in there. And he said, but everybody that's clamoring to get 11A on planes. What? Brady said, it's not always 11A that's in the emergency aisle. And he goes and said, second, the plane has to hit at a certain angle. It has to be tilted up, down, sideways, whatever tail has to be left in a building to make one seat more viable than another. And he goes. It's the luckiest thing that's ever happened in air travel. Ever.
Dick Toledo
Your buddy wasn't on the cornfield crash, right?
John Holmberg
No, Billy was on next to the.
Brady Bogan
Pilot, hanging out of the airplane.
John Holmberg
That's amazing. That's happened multiple times. The British Airways flight is a terrifying one. The one that flew over China, the Chinese guy that was over the cold, cold mountains and six feet below, and half of them was stuck to the top of the plane because they couldn't reduce speeds, you know, like 400 miles an hour outside over some Mongolian mountain range. We gotta come back now. But if you are on Indian Air and you hear, no, no, no, no, no. That guy's getting out. He's not helping. You follow him. The door opens, don't look and go well, no, there's no time for. For chivalry or anything else. So airlines. You can stop now with the whole willing to assist. Brett and I have only honest ones in the room.
Brett Fesley
Right.
John Holmberg
I'm stomping over grandparents, children, puppies. Yeah.
Brett Fesley
I'll open the door so I can get out.
Brady Bogan
But I've always.
Brett Fesley
That's what I'm doing.
Brady Bogan
I mean, that's the first thing you think about when you. You're sitting in that room. Like, you open the door, how can I get out of the way?
Dick Toledo
Everywhere, and it's burning.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
I'm not thinking.
John Holmberg
Let me tell you this. You're a liar. The first thing you think of in that seat is, look at the leg room. I've got socket. You're not thinking of anything but yourself.
Brady Bogan
Right.
John Holmberg
The reason you want the emergency lane is so your own comfort is first, you're. You're more comfortable. You're not doing that to be a hero. You're doing it for more legroom, and you don't even need more leg room. Yeah, you're short, but you still would take that aisle because now you can practically lay down. You're not giving up that. That's all for you. So nobody's thinking about anyone else's sick safety until that lady comes by and says, are you willing to assist?
Brett Fesley
Sure.
John Holmberg
You got it? Are you?
Brett Fesley
You got it, toots.
John Holmberg
I have to. I'll lose my job. I'll be outside if anybody needs me. If there's assistance necessary, I'll be at the bottom of that slide like a third base coach. Come on, let's do this. Let's go, boy. Down, down, down. Home. Bring her on home.
Brady Bogan
Hustle, hustle.
John Holmberg
Hurry up.
Brady Bogan
That fire ain't getting any smaller.
John Holmberg
But you're going to see me outside the plane. I'll do all the assisting from the ground team. I'm. In fact, I'm going to tell the flight attendant next time. I'm the leader of the ground team. These two here, aisle and and center, they're in charge of helping people on the plane. I'm in charge of being down there, making sure that the bottom of that inflatable is. Is secure. I don't want this to go up like a bounce house. 11a. Not a hero. What if. What if he. You found out that he could have taken, like, the person next to him? Like, he's gonna slip up in his story. The lady next to me was very, very scared, and I just jumped out. Like, you could have saved her. Well, maybe I don't know I did. It was so quick. No, no, no, no. She was already dead. I. I assumed she was scared from all of the. Anyway, I had to get off the plane.
Brady Bogan
Let's go over B and C again.
John Holmberg
What was the thing you said about the lady next to you begging Unknown. Begging for more peanuts? Right before we hit the building. She was very hungry. She was hoping that there was more drinks. But I got out 11A. Yeah. This one says usually 11A is not a window. Is it ABC? It goes window, middle aisle.
Brady Bogan
Usually it's like 15 or.
John Holmberg
And then def. I don't know what it is, but I'm saying the ABC and def. But this is a dreamliner. This has like 45 seats across it. Yeah, huge. Who knows? But nobody's going to help you. So. Yeah, my buddy Billy was on the plane in Detroit and had another plane land on top of his plane and cut it in half. And he was asleep on the Runway. And when it cut it in half, he woke up and then he stomped over bodies and the things he saw was just horrible. But then he said, I jumped down the slide and then I got to helping people.
Dick Toledo
So listener just sent this to us two times. The seat, the 11A has survivors. The 1998 Thai Airways Airbus A310 in December.
John Holmberg
Yeah. 11A leapt out.
Dick Toledo
11A leapt out as well.
John Holmberg
And. And. And if I'm an airline, I'm charging extra for 11 a while. While the.
Brett Fesley
If these morons are going to pay for it. Yeah, I'm in.
John Holmberg
I'm paying for it. If the 11A is available. And it's miracle seat. And it looks like, first of all.
Brett Fesley
I'm not going to Thailand or India, so, I mean, regardless of.
John Holmberg
But if that's the case, Indian Air should dress up 11 a like a new York cabbie's driver's seat. It's got all the, you know, the little bees and everything. The, you know, the Ganesh and the elephant. And like you dress it up like.
Brett Fesley
Brown air freshener right there.
John Holmberg
It's a religious monument, but, yeah, I love that nobody's talking about the fact that he didn't even look over his shoulder to see if he could help anybody. That door came off and he got out.
Brady Bogan
She was in the bathroom.
John Holmberg
Would they believe that she would do. And she broke all the rules. Her tray table was down. It was not going to help her. I said, no, no. Yeah. I love this story. And dude walked away.
Dick Toledo
So that's your positioning right there.
John Holmberg
Yeah. 11A right on the window. So long, suckers. That'd be me. Yeah, that would be me too.
Dick Toledo
Just forward of the wings, apparently.
John Holmberg
And right before that inferno. You hear this is fun. Nobody else thought of it. It's not my problem. Open the door and get out. It seems simple. Anyway. So start looking for 11A. And again, like Brady said, first thing you think about is how to help. I got all the leg room I'm gonna need. Sleep like a baby. Nobody thinks about helping. I'd crack you right in the face if you were the center guy and I was.
Brady Bogan
The only thing that they do to, you know, on the. The convenience of the leg room is that the chair usually does not recline on the window seats.
John Holmberg
Huh?
Brady Bogan
On the emergency door.
John Holmberg
Yes, it does.
Brett Fesley
No, the one in front of it doesn't.
Brady Bogan
No, it's one in the. On the door. That one does not require decline.
John Holmberg
Depends on what part of the plane. Because that's what I get every time. Boy, that sucker goes back. I can lay down. I'm six feet tall and I got that beauty. It depends on where you're at too. If you got the ones that flip or if they're. They're.
Dick Toledo
Depends on the aircraft in the specific seat location. But exit row seats do recline.
John Holmberg
And actually the. The one that I've seen is there's only two. And they don't even have a window like the new ones that I've been on. They have two seats and then there's an opening where the door cracks back.
Dick Toledo
So this says the seats in front of the.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they're not supposed to go back.
Dick Toledo
Do not recline.
John Holmberg
Because that's either way. It's all about you. That's all I'm saying. So congratulations, 11A. And if you're dumb enough to buy I've spent extra money on an 11A ticket. What kind of negative Nancy are you?
Brett Fesley
Dumb enough to fly Air India.
John Holmberg
What are you doing in India in the first place?
Dick Toledo
What about Southwest? You gotta fight for that seat because you can't buy it.
John Holmberg
This guy.
Brett Fesley
There we go.
John Holmberg
Rather be on There we go.
Brett Fesley
I knew.
John Holmberg
Why am I on South Southwest? What's wrong with him? Have I lost a bet? Am I flying to Rockford? Money bags. Yeah, money, duh. The reason I work hard to not fly with you. You stockpile cash to get away from that stuff. It's a very viable airline for you. I'll be busy elsewhere. We got ourselves the hot releases coming up in just a little bit. 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
Dick Toledo
You thought that was funny?
John Holmberg
You were laughing like A hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you, Holy Diver.
Brett Fesley
Thanks, John Gordon.
John Holmberg
Passenger alone 11A. That's what we call him. The Holy guy. Think about that. Somebody just emailed me and said this is my favorite new conspiracy theory. Now again, for those of you who don't have senses of humor anymore or can't differentiate, but they're killing Toledo on my emails and it's awesome. Oh, I'm getting. Oh, they're saying you can't raise a kid. Like, I don't know why us teasing you about TDS makes you know your. Your parenting is now in question. All over my. It's very funny because that's just as deranged the other way. Jesus. You're complaining that he's got the TDS and you're losing your mind. Somebody then. My favorite conspiracy theory I've ever heard is that passenger 11A on Indian Air planted a bomb on the plane, lit it and got out. And I'm like, man, that is a bad plan.
Brett Fesley
Guys got timing.
Dick Toledo
How does that explain where the plane was going? Oh, no, no, no, no, it couldn't.
John Holmberg
It's a heavy bomb. Toledo.
Dick Toledo
Oh, that's.
John Holmberg
But can you imagine sitting in the meeting room? Okay, here is the plan, and there is no deviation. You will bring a bomb onto the plane, light the fuse and jump out of the plane. No, no, no, no, no, no. Do it. Moving. Is the plane still moving? Yes, right after takeoff. No, no, no, no, no, no. We need a better plan. This is not possible. It is the only way. Don't you think that we could just blow it up without me on the plane? No. You're the catalyst to making sure the plane explodes before it hits the building.
Brady Bogan
We have enough charge. Jump off, get out at 11a.
John Holmberg
You can do it. If you. If you can book 11A, you got to pay an extra 45 rupees. Who's in?
Dick Toledo
Someone else got 11A.
John Holmberg
Show of hands, Ganesh. 8 you1, you1 and 1 against. No good.
Dick Toledo
I'm always against.
John Holmberg
Ganeesh Gaymore is the one who votes against me jumping out of a moving aircraft. I do not think this is a great thought out plan. It is done. You will leap from the plane. And he made it.
Brett Fesley
Call Kevin from Discover Card. Have him take 11A.
John Holmberg
I'm out. I don't need to do it. I will just stay over here at Capital One and make phone calls. That is not a conspiracy theory. I think that holds that his plan was to leap out of the plane and he made it you guys, I am shocked. I apologize for putting up such a. A fight. It worked. You were right. Jumping out was a good idea. That's crazy. I love it, though.
Brady Bogan
And going through tsa, it's just a Roman candle.
John Holmberg
Don't worry about it. It's. Well, it's India. Tsa. Next. Go. Next. Go. Is that your goat? Yes. And he is not filled with expense explosive. Go.
Dick Toledo
Be gone.
John Holmberg
You go ahead. Keep moving. Goat. Chicken. Chicken. Goat. One night boy with machete. Two one night boys with machetes.
Dick Toledo
Never did see the animal casualties on that. On that.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, it smelled like roasted goat. When that thing hit the building, they were flying all over the place. Any goats survived the crash? It was a dreamliner.
Dick Toledo
Going to London. London. Except goats.
John Holmberg
I think. You leave your goats? Yeah, it's a drop off. Very rarely is it back and forth with the goats. It's time for the hot releases. They're brought to you by our friends@newac.unit.com. save time, save thousands. Buy online apps. It's the other way. Save thousands, save time. Buy online new ac unit.com. air conditioning units all over the place right now are conking out already. I saw a truck in front of somebody's house the other day. Day. I saw a crane popping one on a roof the other day. I'm like, I've been telling you guys this for months. And now that it's 120 outside, the thing conked out. It's overworking. If you've got an old air conditioning unit, no better place to do it than new. Acunit.com you will save thousands. That's a guarantee. Save thousands, save time. Buy online. New ac unit.com brings you these hot releases.
Dick Toledo
So I'm not from here. Are all those houses like the old neighborhoods on that have units on the roof? Are those ACs or are those swamp coolers?
John Holmberg
ACs. ACs. We don't have a lot of swamp coolers. It's not humid enough. You got to get down to some serious. You got them, but better have an AC unit too, or you're going to be sitting in swamp.
Dick Toledo
Right.
John Holmberg
Call it that for a reason. It is. How about you first Toledo. You go.
Dick Toledo
All right. Really? The only game I've got out today, it's on all platforms including the new Nintendo Switch 2 is Tron Catalyst. Next Tron game is out.
John Holmberg
I think you know more than you're saying, man. Tron looks lucky for you you survived the explosion. If you de res me, I'll just go again.
Dick Toledo
And they expanded the Universe A little bit in Tron Me.
Brady Bogan
That looks incredible.
John Holmberg
Except for the cartoony characters. I'm not a fan of that. Graphics are characters.
Dick Toledo
Why they started doing that because the popularity of like Fortnite and all that, where they didn't spend a lot of time on the characters. And it makes the games faster because it doesn't have to render all the features on the. On the humans.
John Holmberg
All right, that's kind of cool.
Dick Toledo
At least that's a theory.
John Holmberg
It's a working thing.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
On Apple tv. Plus is the second season of Buccaneers. This is a Bridgerton type series on Apple tv. Plus.
Ryan Reynolds
I've been this for life.
John Holmberg
Are they actual? Everything I do is now irrelevant.
Dick Toledo
The next chapter of the young American Buccaneers. Sisterhood, romance, wit, steamy love affairs, extravagant gowns, spectacular landscapes, 40 year old girl porn.
John Holmberg
40 year old girl porn.
Dick Toledo
Yep, exactly. So season two, I believe, gets underway tonight, I think, on Prime Video.
John Holmberg
Wait, there was a first season of the Buccaneers?
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
You missed it.
Dick Toledo
Come on. How are you gonna catch up? You can binge.
John Holmberg
This is the new Cinemax.
Dick Toledo
Oh yeah.
John Holmberg
Chicks love this stuff. Bridgerton's dirty. Yep. And so was that, it looks like. Because if the preview showed three, like neck kissing scenes. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
On Prime Video is. We Were Liars is a new series. Where's my. The adaptation of E. Lockhart's 2014 novel follows the extended Sinclair family, a wealthy clan who owns an island. Martha's Vineyard. Following a tragic accident when she was 15 that left her unable to remember what happened. The eldest granddaughter, Cadence, revisits the island on her 17th birthday where she and her friends, who are dubbed the Liars, recall what happened. And guess what? It wasn't good.
John Holmberg
Oh, we were happy. We wanted for nothing. So wait, somebody got amnesia and then these. These guys make up a story.
Dick Toledo
Horrible accident.
John Holmberg
And I have no memory of what or who hurt me. So it's like some terrible story about a girl who was.
Dick Toledo
By the way, if she was 15 when that happened, don't show her naked on the beach.
John Holmberg
And here's the other thing. If she's 15 when it happened, why did you take her back at 17?
Dick Toledo
Yeah, that's a little too soon.
John Holmberg
It's a little too soon. Like it took me about three years to take my ex wife back to where the Trade center was.
Dick Toledo
Wait a minute. You did that?
John Holmberg
Oh, I. She wanted to.
Dick Toledo
Wow.
John Holmberg
I told her it was a bad idea. And guess what it was. When we stood there in the. There was still a lot of rubble and a lot of fencing and then some ribbons. And I looked over at her and she was a puddle. Like, this was a terrible idea. She thought she was ready. I don't think you're ever really ready to go back to that.
Brady Bogan
You're like, get over it.
John Holmberg
I watched a special on the great stealer Rocky Blyer, and he went back to the Rice Patty that he got blowed up at in Vietnam, blew his leg up, and he had to fight, fight, fight. And he lost a couple of buddies. It was like probably 30 years after, maybe even more. And he's standing in that field and he just starts going like, that's Rocky Blair, for Christ's sake. Didn't.
Dick Toledo
Didn't elicit tears. But last time when we came. First time when we came back from Thailand and I saw my family, my Uncle Irving, who is a Vietnam war vet, got a purple Heart and told him, thailand, he goes to Thailand, huh? And he just kind of went blank. And I'm like, yeah, it was great. And he looks at me and I'm like, did. Were you in Thailand? I didn't think Thailand was part of the war.
John Holmberg
Well, that was where he got the lady boy thing.
Dick Toledo
Right, Right.
John Holmberg
He just missed her.
Dick Toledo
But he. He didn't want to talk about it. He didn't want to talk about that whole area. And then when we went back to Cambodia the second time, you really didn't want to talk about that.
John Holmberg
I get emotional when I drive through Missouri and 20th street because I got smashed in a car there once.
Dick Toledo
Get a little shudder every time I.
John Holmberg
Go back where somebody raped you. Two years later for vacation on Netflix is the Waterfront.
Dick Toledo

What's crazy about having a fire alarm in your house? Nothing. Probably not going to happen. But what's crazy about it? What's crazy about having a personal fire alarm in case something goes sideways with you that you're a little bit more prepared? You have your own internal mechanism that gets you through something you don't expect. The unprepared are the ones who get taken advantage of. That's the best way to look at it. You've got a plan for a fire. You've got a plan for a flood. You've got insurance for all that. Get a little safety and insurance in your own brain for yourself, for crying out loud. And they can do it for you@reactdefense.com the price is unreal. Two months of training for 199 bucks. You're not beating that anywhere. And you can get to be a better version of you.
