I tell you, there's miles to nowhere with our Wake up song. Thank you very much. Actually our theme song. Thanks Katie and Hobbes. And yeah, everybody's now worried I've scared you all and I didn't mean to with the needles being stabbed, you know it's going to happen. I mean, I don't want to make you live in fear you're going to get stabbed by a needle if you're in a crowd. That's just the way things are going constantly. Be aware of that. I also last night was laying there just kind of post all day in the sun, golf and dizzy. And I started to, you know, scroll through some stuff and I realized that as you get older, there's just stuff you start accepting. And one thing that I've begun to accept is that everything will eventually, if you live long enough, reveal itself as horsesh. It's just garbage. All the things that you thought were cool when you were a kid. Eventually some idiot scientist, and I love science will start to reveal that there's nothing mystical, there's nothing like magical. My grandpa used to tell me the story of finding the pharaoh's tomb in Egypt and how 10 of 12 people who went in there died and it had the curse and. Yeah. And the first guy that went in there is dog dropped dead like immediately. And then other people in the expedition in the 70s more people went in and this was when my grandpa started to tell me about it. Bill was big on this. Go in there and 10 of them are dead. And they went in there a year ago. 12 people went. 10 are dead.
Bert
There's a car discovered it a year later.
Brady
No, no, that was back in the 20s. Okay. In the 70s they drugged 10 more people in there and 12 more and 10 of them died. That's what I remember old grandpa Bill telling me constantly about. Like papa was all over this thing. Right. So they just found the reason why and there's no curse. Anything else they were talking about and I'm watching this last night. I don't know that they just found it. But there's.
Bert
Isn't there spores or something?
Brady
Well yeah, there's a thing that's in there. But now they think that the thing that it's called Asper. Aspergillus flavus. It's a fungus that can cause a lung infection really fast. And they think it's the pharaoh's curse. That was cool. That was part of my grandpa's like love of life was this. Ahaha. The pharaoh's gonna get like Scooby Doo was pretty accurate. Like he thought maybe there's a possibility of like. I think he bought it. Like that might be a phantom. That might be a phantom. And then. Oh no, it's just old man McGillicuddy. Like I think for a little while my grandpa believed because he was raised before science told him to stop thinking this way. It's probably a phantom. That was a realistic belief is the.
Bert
Black and white pictures of King Tut.
Brady
Yeah.
Bert
And there they are. You know sure it looks fairly phantom.
Brady
But that that my grandfather died in 2005 isn't that long ago. And he died with the belief phantom's probably gotcha. Like there's a good portion of his friends that were killed by phantoms.
Bert
Don't disturb.
Brady
And he didn't. He didn't believe there was a reason to argue that. And that's kind of a cool way to go. So I used to love that story the phantom that. And now they're saying that the thing that's inside the sarcophagus and in the tomb that was just caused it was lung spores that nobody had the technology. Scientists Are like, you guys are nuts. There's no phantoms. Of course there's no phantoms. Of course there's no phantoms. Of course there's no curse. I'm a Cubs fan. I wanted to believe in curses because it's the only reasonable explanation on how you can suck so bad.
Bert
We got our answers. Let's move on.
Brady
Yeah. And. Yeah, that's a curse. It makes sense. Yeah. Yes. Having a quarter in my shoe, face down, makes my day better. It's just. It's a natural phenomenon that phantoms and apparitions and conjurers live inside my shoe and care that there's a quarter there that make it so my body works better. Of course not. But they just found out that this stuff also. Here's the benefit of it could fight cancer and leukemia. These spores, if they can work with spores, they can work this, like, oh, wow. This stuff, this curse that we've been so afraid of might actually, you know, unlock some stuff. So science always. It's usually called the gap of the gods. And throughout time, before we figure out what was really going on, we just say it was God. Weather used to be a punishment. Like, we didn't understand it at all. And it was like, oh, if it's raining, it's because he's either blessing us or he's cursing. He's just paying attention. He's, you know, they didn't understand cold fronts. And. And then some jackass scientists came in and kind of wrecked everything going, here's actually what's going on? We thought that the Earth was flat. We thought that, you know, we didn't understand why we stuck to the ground so well. And then nerds. Nerds come along, and nerds have been present forever, and they come along and they. They figure it out. And then, you know, so then you close the gap of the gods and you realize, oh, this is the thing.
Bert
That's what my brother always says about the thing about science. He's like, it's. You know, it never stops working. There's no definite.
Brady
It questions itself.
Bert
Yeah. So you get something, you come to the conclusion, this seems to be working. Don't stop there.
Brady
Well, there's a definite answer for a thing, and then they find out, how can we make this definite answer better? You can change it. Like, there's no. Yeah. They're never. They never stop investigating and just say, this is just the truth and there cannot be anything. This is it.
Bert
So I don't know if you saw the most recent thing on the pyramids, Giza they're now there's this archaeologist at his. So they're 2000ft below the pyramids. They believe there's a whole underground city.
Brady
Cool.
John Holmberg
Jesus.
Bert
And the one guy discovered. They've discovered the tunnel already. And there's. Now there's multiple tunnels. And the guy, the director that's always on the. Of the. In Egypt.
Brady
Don't even try it. Brady. Stop it.
Bert
Yeah but he's always on those specials. He's questioning it because he's not. These guys discovered on their own. It's like I like that.
Brady
Keep digging.
John Holmberg
But Chapo's gonna pop his head out of the sand.
Bert
Go.
John Holmberg
What's going on guys?
Brady
It's just a Mexican tunnel. These sons of made it to Egypt.
Bert
2000.
Brady
That's a digging people. Yeah. Well 2000 deep to us. But back then it might have been surface with all the wind and sand and things that grow that you can.
Bert
You can. This is below the pyramid. So yes there is a factor that.
Brady
Take the pyramids might have been a different thing. They already know that the face of the pyramid used to be a dog.
Bert
And then how deep the. The. The other area.
Brady
The Sphinx.
Bert
Yeah where they call it where the kings are buried. The where where they're finding all the different.
Brady
And they've got loads of them. But bottom line going deeper and deeper. You don't have any of that. And I want you just start to realize when you're older. It's like oh, another cool thing in my. They taught that in school. I remember teachers going and the. The curse of the phantoms that live down. And like Scooby Doo's right. Like the curse of the phantoms was taught in my schools. I learned that. And you got to be careful. And then. Right. And then one lady like made a whole day of it. Ms. Beauchamp at Dobson or was she at Dobson or Rhodes. She was at Dobson BO camp. She made a whole day of teaching us about how because she was a big believer of teaching us this starry eyed weird wizardry thing of how if you went into those things good chance and it. You know your dog was going to drop dead a thousand miles away when you got home as. Because the Pharaoh's curse. And then you as a kid you're like this is crazy. I mean how does. How does. How are we not more afraid of phantoms? And then. Then you're like oh yeah, because it's all bullshit. Well science figured it out. Told you here's why they were dying and wrecked that whole thing. Which makes Scooby Doo. An idiot, you know, makes the. The mummies curse. And you know that we've. We've lived on movie after movie after movie of. And there are some people that will email me right now and go, you don't know. You don't know. You don't believe in an afterlife.
John Holmberg
So maybe there are.
Brady
Yeah, all right. I. I'm pretty sure. Don't make me give you the exact reason why I have to make you look stupid about ghosts and phantoms, but that one, I kind of wanted to be true. Curses, as a Cubs fan, kind of wanted that to be true.
Bert
And, you know, I mean, you could see how it lasts that long. Because this whole time, like, well, why did these four people or five get sick?
Brady
Come on.
Bert
And it's symptoms you've never seen before.
Brady
Well, so you just automatically. Some phantoms. That's just bitter. That's how dumb our great grandparents were also, by the way. And this is to a generation of people like, everybody listening right now. Your kids don't even know the phrase I'm about to say. But there was a. You grew up with a massive fear. We're the last generation with it. A massive fear of something called the Bermuda Triangle. There was a massive fear. My Aunt Ray cried for a month because her husband was flying over, was going to eat him. That was a real thing. And there were TV shows. And, like, the magnetic. It's taken down every plane that's ever. No, it hasn't. Their planes going over and it went.
John Holmberg
Away 19 or something. All those planes that went down, they.
Brady
Were just dumping into the thing. And it was like. I think movies were flying into some wind shear.
Bert
It's a World War II plane.
Brady
And then they did some weather reports and realized it's a current shift area, that if you're flying a little plane, it could dump you. It wasn't a Bermuda Trident. From between here, here, and here. The magnetic features. Sedona, I hate to break it to you. Your stacked rocks, they're not doing anything. There's no vortex that's gonna make you different. It's some. And again, if you're young and you're like, this is a thing, and then you get older and cynicism. It's not cynicism so much as it is just education and acceptance of the fact that pretty much all that magic is bull. It's just somebody.
Bert
You can explain it, how nature works.
Brady
Right. Geodes. That's a dude who opened a store with mineral rocks and tries to snow you into thinking they've got healing Powers. Remember Lisa downstairs got sucked in because she was having trouble with salt retention and some idiot sold her a rock that he put a light bulb in and told her it was magic?
Bert
Yeah. You can do readings with a photograph.
Brady
Yeah. You can take a Polaroid. You do a Polaroid. And he would tell you what's wrong. What. What's wrong with your diet? And she was buying it.
John Holmberg
Those lamps are kind of cool, the way they light up, but there's no power in them.
Bert
I do like the lighting.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the lighting's cool, but that's it.
Brady
I miss the innocence of believing in phantoms attacking my grandfather lives, not going anywhere. I know it is for maybe a lot of people. I don't associate with phantom people. If you start telling me you're into phantoms, I have to stop and pay my bills.
Bert
First of all, I haven't heard someone talking about a phantom in a long time.
Brady
They killed the phantoms. We're the phantom. Science is the phantom, and I love science. But stop it. Make the fun ones stay and kill the ones that are damaging. No one was starting wars over the phantoms. We liked them. We drew cartoons. We made terrible Brendan Fraser movies, and we all ran. We like mummies and we like mummy phantoms. And we like the idea that if you move the wrong casket atop. Oh, you've unleashed the hounds of hell. It's like a fun belief. And deep down, we all know that eventually somebody's gonna come along. You know this isn't real, right? Let me think that it might be, though. Like, you know, not religion. This is a fun one. Phantoms, dead, gone. Bermuda Triangle, dead, gone. There aren't any fun ones anymore. They've all been stomped out.
Bert
I think it's outside of Colima, Mexico. I went years ago. But it's that the gravitational pull where the. What do you call it, anyway? It's a road.
Brady
Oh, it goes uphill because you're actually downhill. We did they have one in Ohio. Eastern Ohio. I remember that because we went on it and it's a little touristy thing. It's about 25ft and it's straight up. And you just put your car in neutral and.
Bert
Yeah, again, that one might be steeper, but this was pretty. You know, it definitely looks like an incline.
Brady
Oh, it is, but you're on, like, a mountainside and walking it.
Bert
It's wild.
Brady
It's just. It's. But again, that's just a. A visual. That's just an optical illusion, really. I know. Phantom. There's no.
Bert
I thought it was like the gravitational pull or something.
Brady
Well, because you're actually pointed down. You do it with golf all the time. That looks like it's going uphill, but it's not. Yeah, because the whole lay of the land is going down. It's just where you are in perspective. That's just an optical illusion for the most. There's no. There's no place on the earth with a gravitational pull. Is dicking around like I'm going to get harder here in this little 20 foot stretch of Mexico. There's something. Something. Check out homework's morning sickness.

What do you got?
Bert
That's my garage.
Brady
Did you just clean your garage all the way up? Brady? What a strange transition. But yes indeed. Phantoms came along to try to tie the two conversations together with my friend here who has add.
Bert
Phantom did it.
Brady
Phantom came along and cleaned Brady's garage.
Bert
It's a big day.
Brady
Where did you put all the crap.
Bert
Inside of the house?
Brady
What?
John Holmberg
That's just going back in.
Brady
Oh yeah.
Bert
It's a matter of boys from diamond coating.
Brady
Then it's not cleaned. It's.
Bert
Well, it's going to be. It's not all going back in.
Brady
Why have all the coating on your garage floor if you're just going to cover it with junk? You're not clearing anything out. Did you put a tarp over it?
Bert
No.
Brady
Oh, my God. You're a hillbilly. You've just got garbage. You can't see it. Oh, but you can. That's what hoarders do. They put it in places, and then the stacking begins.
Bert
Clear it out, get it out of there.
Brady
Your whole backyard's gonna be full of crap now. Oh, no.
Bert
There's three racks.
Brady
Don't brag about your clean garage sitting. That's like cleaning a room. But moving all the stuff out of that one into another one. Now you got another dirty room. It's just.
Bert
Well, they're not going back in.
Brady
You're throwing it all away.
Bert
I gotta figure out most of it. We will.
Brady
You'll throw or donate it.
Bert
Not throw it away. Is between Goodwill and Deseret Industries running over there.
Brady
Are you able to do this? Yeah. What's in there? What's in there that's been in your garage for years that you wouldn't part with that? This all of a sudden is like, just the day of reckoning.
Bert
On those racks.
Brady
Wait, there's more racks.
Bert
There's two racks.
Brady
Okay.
Bert
Basically, in the stacked up stuff, it's just got to be, you know, organized better. Like, there's gonna be.
Brady
Oh, God. He's neat stacking all the junk in.
Bert
Some of it will go back in.
Brady
Yeah, but he's basically saying it got out of control, and now.
John Holmberg
So what's not going back in then?
Brady
I'll.
Bert
I'll have to break that.
Brady
It's all going back in. He's gonna buy more racks is what's gonna happen. And he's gonna reorganize it.
Bert
There' that can be thrown away, like, a couple of boxes or just put into a. Like, 10 years old. Right.
Brady
He just school bus shamed you.
John Holmberg
Ooh, a couple boxes.
Brady
Couple boxes. We've seen your garage. This is amazing that you. You hired kids to pull all that out of your garage. I'm impressed.
Bert
No, I, I, I did majority of it, but there was, like, you know, a local helper, a golf rack, and some loose stuff. I had to be able. Kirby kicked in.
Brady
Okay, good. You used her as a slave for the first time. Well done. Normally, you got neighborhood kids doing the work she should be doing. I'm impressed that Kirby did this. Well done.
John Holmberg
You didn't have Ronnie help you.
Bert
Ronnie did today.
Brady
Okay.
John Holmberg
I was gonna say I know how that is, because that's Matthias the same way. Okay. This goes in the trash.
Brady
Exactly. Why Ronnie? She's not Good.
Bert
Put it this way. She can go through any of the racks and say we.
Brady
If she right now went through all of it.
Bert
Yeah. There's. There's probably eight or ten of the things there that are hers.
Brady
Okay. But if she went through all of it and you went home and it was all gone, like she. She decided to make all the decisions. You're okay. This is. This is. This is growth. I'm impressed. They got a whole third stall. Your garage you get to use for stuff that isn't hoarding parking her. Now.
John Holmberg
Are you gonna get to park?
Brady
You know, I know we could answer to that.
Bert
We could get all three cars.
John Holmberg
All right, then that's progress.
Bert
Well, you could now when it's done. Because there is gonna have to be a new system in there. Like, because it had a. A big counter. Like it was a kitchen counter with the workbench area. I yanked that out of there. That just opened up the whole.
Brady
Yeah. So you're saying at this very moment, you're not 100 sure you're not going to fill that up to where a car doesn't go there.
Bert
Oh, no. There'll be at least two cars in there. Well, there aren't a three car garage.
Brady
Yeah.
Bert
But the third car. It's tight regardless.
Brady
Because there's a reason. Because I'm looking at what you just showed me. Might be able to fit two cars in there in that one slot. That was pretty clean.
Bert
Yeah. That's where Kirby and Ronnie's car go.
Brady
Okay. And then two slots.
Bert
Then the third car is a separate door.
Brady
Right.
Bert
It's tight.
Brady
You can't.
Bert
You. What you could do is do.
Brady
It's car shaped.
Bert
You could put your tools on that side.
Brady
So it's. So there's like hanging. There's a. You're saying that it's not big enough. It's too small for a car.
Bert
No, it. You could put a sedan in there. You couldn't put an suv.
Brady
Well, yeah, that. You know, if you got a. Kirby drives a sedan. Yeah. She happens.
Bert
Yeah. And Ronnie's car's up small enough for Corsair.
Brady
So two of those cars could fit in that slot. Yes. And then the other two could fit in the other side.
Bert
I think. So I'd still be tight if that.
Brady
Is the definition of a three car.
Bert
The three cars that we have right now.
Brady
Yeah.
Bert
Could work in there.
Brady
That's right.
Bert
But you.
Brady
But they want to be tight because hoarding.
Bert
The third car is where the refrigerator is next to the door.
Brady
That's what I'm Saying, that'll be tight. We should have a refrigerator in your kitchen.
Bert
I do.
Brady
Get a backup refrigerator.
Bert
We got another one on the patio.
Brady
You got three refrigerators.
Bert
Get the barbecue. Damn. Barbecue refrigerator. That's under the counter. That's a hat.
Brady
I'm not fighting you. I'm just saying this is called hoarding.
Bert
I'm not hoarding refrigerators.
Brady
You are kind of hoarding refrigerator. They're all working. And I bet you there's a path to those.
Bert
You've got more than one refrigerator.
Brady
Yeah, I do. I've got more than one refrigerator. But they're in the house where they belong. They're not out there.
Bert
Garage is a popular spot.
Brady
Yeah. Oh, yeah. But you're cutting. Like, you've got. I've seen your garage. You have a maze. But I guarantee you the cleanest one is to that fridge. Like, there is never.
Bert
There's never an impeding pattern.
Brady
There's never. Claire, it's tough to get a car in that garage hole. But there is no problem between the.
Bert
Fridge and getting the car in there. Fridge.
John Holmberg
Priorities, John.
Brady
Priorities. But he's bragging, so I'm giving him a little grief because look at. Look, look, look.
Bert
Spotless.
Brady
Where's the stuff on the side of the house? Baby stuff cleaning. That's okay. I'll give you that. You know what? I don't want to discourage. I was just talking about a scientist. Ruined phantoms. I don't want to break Brady's delusion either. This is a nice start. What's the over under on that place being just jam packed with nonsense?
John Holmberg
Fanduel won't even take that.
Brady
I know. Fanduel's like, are you out of your mind? Come on, now. You're off next week. That thing's going to be. It's going to be more full next week than it's ever been. You know. You know you're a hoarder when you call stacking your junk a system. Gotta get a new system, huh? That's called stacking your junk. No, no, it's a system of stacking. Yeah, that's hoarding.
Bert
You need a garage system.
Brady
No, you just need, like, a wall.
Bert
Better cabinet system. Yeah, it's not a seal.
Brady
I got garbage. Yeah, we're all. I'm guilty of it. Yeah, you got some junk in your garage. But I look at it and go, this is not a system. This is me stuffing a thing organized way back. Right? That's organization. That's organizational. Hoarding. It's not a system.
Bert
I'm. I'm a combo.
Brady
No, you got no system. You got stacks of crap that you're unwilling to part with that you've built walls with.
Bert
Do you have. It's ridiculous random like screws and nails over the years that are just collect.
Brady
Like from in a drawer and stuff. Yeah. Oh yeah. Everybody's got dumped them. You know what's crazy about had them.
Bert
For years and then. I know but it's two or three times a year.
Brady
Yeah. I've found like oh, I need that.
Bert
To be this screw might work here.
Brady
The most useful thing I have is that big drawer of junk. I go to that more than anything else in my garage and it's the. I'll put it this way, it's the least useful part of my system which is that drawer of nonsense and I just grab a couple of screws or something like this will work.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady
But I make it work. It isn't about like I'll build the.
Bert
Thing going there that often. So the loose ones I dumped the ones I still have in the box kind of that you bought like 30 of them or 20. I kept those.
Brady
Yeah. That's a good system. Brady, he's stacking nonsense. Don't you get all excited and interrupt my phantom talk with your clean garage.
Bert
I'm working on my system.
Brady
Oh it is. It's just. Oh wow. This is a good point. Andrew. Andrew emails in and says surviving Ohio State comes out. Now Brady's cleaning house seems a little fishy to me. Yeah. There's the one thing that motivated him to get rid of the evidence.
Bert
Four or five pictures with Russ Helixon and Jim Jordan in the. I trashed him.
Brady
Yeah. A couple of barrels with those unwanted homos that kept showering with the team. That's a problem. Gullickson asked for those to go there.
Bert
The extra shower spigots I had throw them away.
Brady
Yeah. Some of the. The underwear of the boys are like hide this. No one can know.
Bert
Gone.
Brady
Oh. Anyway. Well good for you on your system now. I believe in the Phantom's curse for sure because there's no possible way Brady did this on his own. I was haunted at night by three pharaohs. Said clean your garage, man. Yeah. You argue that a three car garage was never built in mind for three cars. I don't know if that third one.
Bert
Not many people put three cars in the three car garage.
Brady
Yes they do. I have a three car garage.
Bert
It ends up the third car ends up being where you put your stuff.
Brady
Where you stack your system.
Bert
Lawnmower bikes.
Brady
Yeah. There's A space for that. Your system.
Bert
You gotta get a good system.
Brady
I have three cars in my garage.
Bert
You do?
Brady
Yeah. Easily. Yeah.
Bert
No, I've never seen it.
Brady
I'm sure you have. You know what you never seen? It's just cars willy nilly all over my driveway.
Bert
Usually one or two.
Brady
No. Well, when you're there.
Bert
Yeah.
Brady
You're a visitor.
Bert
Mine.
Brady
You're not getting in the garage. And you know what? I know. Yeah. I'm getting your own. Why do you think you're getting in mine? You look at mine like it was a. Like it was a place for like a ballroom. And it's not even clean. It's got holes in the wall where I try to build things. It looks like mine looks like the St. Valentine's Day Massacre might have happened there. Drilling bike racks that I never finished.
John Holmberg
Dan do that when he was in town?
Brady
You know what? That's not a bad idea. Bert. When Dan.
Bert
Well, you build an extra room so you could put some of your stuff in there. Like some people use that third car for exercise. A treadmill or a weight machine.
Brady
I didn't build an extra room for storing crap.
Bert
No. But an exercise room and.
Brady
Yeah, but that was. That was a room that was already attached.
Bert
Some of that stuff out.
Brady
No, that just. That just means I'm using one of the rooms for that.
Bert
You build extra storage.
Brady
You got to get your brain. This is not storage. Exercise rooms aren't first. That's not storage. We actually use it.
Bert
Yeah, that's. And I use my garage for the fridge.
Brady
And then to look cars look back and there's three cars possible. That's my point. This guy. And building extra room for more junk. That's silly. I built an extra garage stall for the third car. I had three cars in two spots. I'm like, I need a third spot. And then you build a third spot and you put a car in it. It's not for more of my junk. Too much junk. I should add on.
Bert
I'm just. I'm just saying reality. The majority have two cars. Third car store.
Brady
And they've got a three car garage. Yeah, that's just. That's just. You're not. That's a bad system is what we're talking about there. Those beer cans, they're next. It's those beer cans.
Bert
They're not in the way. They're in another storage space.
John Holmberg
That's right. You have another storage unit.
Brady
You get more junk in another place. This guy's throwing trash all over the place. He's like, Oscar the grouch. He's garbage everywhere.
Bert
I got a bowling alley.
Brady
Yeah, you've money. Got a little. Cause I bought some warehouse space. I gotta get the cans in. Don't go bragging about that to me.
Bert
Look at this.
Brady
Look at all I've accomplished.
Bert
Fine. Yeah.
Brady
Put all three cars in your garage. I think that'll be a. That will prove to me that you stop. You have stopped hoarding. What's not a system? It's actually a design of the house. It's like calling the kitchen a system because you got the oven to work.
Bert
I got to get a program.
Brady
No, you got to just get a third car in there because it's called. What's it called, Brett, again? What are they? Three.
John Holmberg
Three car garage.
Brady
Car garage. That's right. Get three cars in there, not two cars and all your junk. That's why we put a garage door on it. Otherwise, it would just be a storage. Junk room. They wouldn't even have a door for it. And you're right. There's a lot of people. That third stall, they've mucked up. But I think you ask the majority of people with a three car garage and one of their cars is outside. Like, I gotta get a better system.
Bert
You just. It's tight on the three car. You know, you got your lawnmower bikes, your green man with the red flag safety right.
Brady
To keep Kirby safe.
Bert
You still have that? No, Got rid of it.
Brady
Because Kirby's 30.
Bert
I did find. You know, I laughed because I did find the red stick flag.
Brady
The flag Something, something. Check out homework's morning sickness podcast at 98kupd.comberg's Morning Sickness.
Bert
Like, what's this still doing here? We got rid of the.
Brady
Did you. What's the one thing you found that you looked at? 1. You got to be kidding me. What am I doing? Like, when you go through your garage, there's always a thing like, how long have I been sitting on this stupid crap?
Bert
The. The counter just. It's just the drawers are filled with.
Brady
That's the only useful thing in there. Is your counter. All.
Bert
It was. All the stuff that was in there is just.
Brady
Oh, all the stuff in the drawers. All right.
Bert
26 paint sample cans.
Brady
Yeah.
Bert
You know, that are three.
Brady
Three to five years old.
Bert
10 years old.
John Holmberg
Hard as a rock. Yeah.
Bert
Yeah. Like, oh, no. You never know. You might need to touch up. You think it's gonna be good?
Brady
Yeah. Years ago.
Bert
Two years. You know, it's like me with the.
John Holmberg
Spackle that I found for when we moved. I'M like, all right, clunk.
Bert
Five or six talking, too.
Brady
Oh, yeah, I had that.
Bert
Are concrete tubes now.
Brady
12 or 13 paint cans I didn't realize were even in there because most of it is just because I got a good system. I didn't even see them. And I was there, and I'm looking at him like, oh. So I went through them out in the alley. And the neighbor commands, you can't throw paint in there. I'm like, well, I guess they're in there now. So if you don't like it, you get them out. I'm not climbing around in there. You're just not allowed to do it. I'll report it. I'm like, I don't care. Go ahead. And he didn't. Nobody wants that hassle. And I guess you're not allowed to throw paint away.
Bert
I've got enough sprinkler heads.
John Holmberg
I think you're supposed to turn it in.
Brady
To who?
John Holmberg
The city. The city collects.
Brady
It collects the trash. This is their job. I'm done.
Bert
Run it down there in Gilbert. There's a place where you have to. You have to drop it off.
Brady
You don't have to. Trust me. My way worked just fine. That was years ago. Throw it in those big things in the alley and then cover it with bags. No one will even see it. It's a little hack for you, a little life hack. All right, you got a bin.
Bert
There's a bin.
Brady
Put in the bottom of the bin and put your trash on top of it. No one's gonna know.
Bert
Go to the same spot it does.
Brady
You just said the city's gonna get it. You're. You're actually expediting the process. The city's gonna pick it up on Wednesday morning.
Bert
Trucks have a scanner.
Brady
Yeah, they don't. Absolutely don't. They absolutely don't. You can put anything you want in there. In fact, put it in the recycling blue one. It doesn't matter. Put it in the bottom. Cover it with stuff.
Bert
That's supposed to be so tempting.
Brady
I'm like, tempting. It's. This is. What do you mean? What are you worried about? You think you're gonna knock on your door? We know what you're doing, Mr. Bogan.
Bert
All right, show me your hands.
Brady
Why you put paint cans in the bottom of the bin and then put trash on it? We know your game. Why is there a car in the driveway? We got a three car garage. What's going on? Working on my system. Come on. Cuff him and stuff him, boys. He's the paint bandit.
Bert
It's a nice refrigerator.
Brady
Look, everybody can just stop with their. You know, that paint thing is silly. It's not. The environment's gonna. No, it isn't. We've been throwing paint away for years. We're all fine. 13, 14 of those. I waited.
Bert
Then why do they have the drop off?
Brady
I don't know. It's probably charging money. I don't know. You plop it down in there, they're probably stealing. You don't even know. You plop it down in the bottom. The day after the big trucks come, if you've got an alley or if you've got your own barrel and you put it in the bottom and then you put your regular trash on top of it. If anybody's going through that, they're hobos.
Bert
You guys need to stain any wood or anything. I got five cans at home or.
Brady
Four, but if you want to bring it down here, I'll dispose of it for you.
Bert
Okay, great.
John Holmberg
Then we're going to get an email from Susie. No, we're gonna get an email from Susie.
Brady
Then why? Then we're doing a poor job.
Bert
Brett, you cover it with regular trash.
Brady
Matter with you. Tell me why we do that. Benefit of the fishies. No, the fish are fine.
Bert
Well, there's that one. There's got to be a reason.
Brady
Well, you don't even know. You're just scared. I also know that absolutely no one died in the process of me tossing those cans into that bottom barrel. I know I got to do it because this happens. I've got pain in there. The reason why they don't want you doing that, they don't want paint all over the place. They don't want you winging paint into the backs of their trucks. I believe in children, our future. Brett knows. They don't want you winging open paint cans into their trash trucks. And they got all these.
Bert
Well, they compact it.
Brady
And also. Yeah. And also they don't want it to be something they drop accidentally. Now there's paint all over the street. It's just. They're making you a little more responsible. I'm not. I'm not falling for this. It goes.
Bert
Why wouldn't you be a little more responsible?
Brady
I'm being responsible. I'm putting to the bottom, and then I'm putting good trash on it. There's no chance this stuff opens up the manner with you. You got to go listen to city again. All of a sudden, these people are like, government this, government that. But they said I have to throw my trash where I'm going to get kicked in the ball.
John Holmberg
One of my people here, Brian Santucci.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
A friend of mine worked for a paint company and someone threw out paint cans. They traced the serial numbers to the wholesaler and traced it to her company. No, take the off. That's all I'm gonna say.
Brady
A, take the sticks up. B, that's as believable as the phantoms in the pyramids. Nobody did it. Police and for me. Good. I want the city to waste more resources chasing down paint trash. You think I wouldn't be in on TV going, yeah, I guess we have the money to go ahead and. And harangue me for throwing paint in the wrong.
Bert
I'm doing the right thing, John. I'm gonna take it to the paint.
Brady
You, my friend, are going to put.
Bert
It back in your garage to my child.
Brady
Yeah, yeah. You're just gonna be. We'll get it Tuesday, put it in the garage, and the next thing you know, you've got this pyramid of paint cans in there. You're moving around every couple days.
Bert
It's been there for two days already.
Brady
So dog all that stuff, put it in the recycling bin. It's fun.
John Holmberg
Here we go.
Brady
There's nothing better to me than on recycling day, pulling out of the. Pulling out of the. This morning, pulling out of the driveway and seeing the bin with just big metal stakes sticking out of it. This is awesome. This is great. I can't wait till Gladys the comes wandering by. You know you're not allowed to do that. Well, it's right there, ma' am, if you'd like to, you know, undo it, but I'm not doing a thing.
Bert
You're saying your bin looks like the chair in the Game of Thrones?
Brady
Sometimes the top of it's missing. I don't even know where that went. I don't know how that came off. It was just one day. It was just gone. It's just. And it's this hillbilly blue bin and it is filled with dog metal. I find everything I can find that it's not. And Coke cans, and if I've got cardboard, I'll put it in there. Just out of convenience.
Bert
Good combo.
Brady
It's just. And then if I have a metal broom or jamming it in there, I don't even need to throw it away. I just need metal sticking out of a fence. Anything I can find. That would make some old lady mad. Because recycling is the biggest scam going on the planet. The biggest scam. Biggest scam going on the planet. And I know I Know for a fact. And the people in surprise won't admit this, the government is right. I am the reason why. Because I was on a tirade about this years ago. I'm the reason why surprise goes. He's on to us. Let's cancel that recycling program and tell.
Bert
Them straight up cancer.
Brady
Let's tell them the truth. And they basically said, look, if you want to recycle, come down for 25 bucks, you can sort it yourself. Because I'm. I essentially said, sure, recycling is great. Being cleaner is great. This is not the way to do it. There's no possible way. All the blue bins are being done properly and the sorting mechanism down there at the dump is working. It's not happening. If all 5 million of us in Phoenix were recycling, 4.9 million of us are doing it wrong. And we need somebody down there going, nope, this one has a cap on it. Nope. This pizza box got used, but nobody's doing it.
Bert
Envelopes with windows.
Brady
Yeah, envelopes. What are you thinking? This is terrible. Me with all my dog poop and metal? Go ahead, find me. Guess what. It's gonna get worse. Look, here's the danger in Johnny. Find me. Are you listening? Find me.
Bert
Get your checkbook out bigger than me.
John Holmberg
There we go again.
Brady
Find me. It gets wor. After that. Trust me. Trust me. Fine me. I get worse. Yeah, you thought it was bad before the finding. I get worse.
Bert
He's a refiner.
Brady
Yeah. If I gotta pay for something stupid, I get worse. Fine me. I like it. That's a lesson to all. Yeah, not the police. They do a fine job of doing what they do. It's not a fine. It's a. An egregious error that they caught me doing immediately.
Bert
You earn those.
Brady
Well, you get caught, like on the spot, you tell me right now. We think you put trash cans in your thing. I'm like, I didn't. Well, I'm pretty sure you did. Prove it. Here's a fine. I'm like, crumple, crumple, crumple. Trash not paying that in a recycle bin. Yeah. You're out of your mind. Yeah, it's this metal. Yeah, I'm gonna put it in there.
Bert
Hey, put it in the right bin.
Brady
Half of me just wants to. To light it on fire every Wednesday, just like, jesus, this guy's an ass. I just think the recycling thing. I need to be the Don Quixote of that because we're going to do it. Let's do it right. Let's not just Greta Thunberg for our own pictures and our own pleasure. The blue bins here in this. Oh, you got me going. The blue bins here in this building. I've watched. You watched every night.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Bert
When you were the same bin.
Brady
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
The cleaning crew is not.
Brady
We only have one bin. I found that out when I tried to do the right thing by throwing all the cardboard away. I'm like, we probably have a big recycling bin. I don't want to clog up the regular with it. And I didn't care, but there's a lot of cardboard. I came down here, I opened the. We have one trash can, and it's full of cans and cardboard. And then we have blue. We. We do what's supposed to be the right thing. Every. Every desk in our office has a black trashy and a blue trashy. And you watched that guy when Brett was the. I like to call you this now. When Brett was our midnight hammer, he used to come in here and do the overnights and watch the cleaning crew take all the bins and pour them into the same box.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Brady
Blue, black. That guy is in. He's in a hurry.
Bert
Yeah. In and out.
Brady
He sorted nothing. When we had the Russians.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Brady
I was here that one time. I'm like, hey, where do you guys take the recycling? And the girl that was running the thing goes, the recycling, it's the same. Like, she just didn't have an answer immediately. Told me it's all fake.
John Holmberg
The only thing they used to do at the old building, the Russians, they would. They would take all the cans out and sort. They would. They take the aluminum cans, like, because.
Brady
They were making money. Right.
John Holmberg
But other than that, paper and everything else. No. Same bin cardboard.
Brady
The best idea I've heard was a week ago on the Brady Report where they're doing a lottery for when you go and recycle. And then you get, like, a ticket at the end.
Bert
Yep.
Brady
And then at the end, they draw somebody and you get, like, 50 grand. That's awesome. That's brilliant. I would participate in that.
John Holmberg
This guy says he works for a large waste company. All their trucks are equipped with cameras, and they use AI to analyze everything coming out of your bin. If any unapproved materials are found, they can put an extra charge on your bill.
Brady
Well, if that's true, where's the extra charge? Because I've been around with that for 12 years.
Bert
I've only gotten notes.
Brady
Right, right. And keep charging me. I've put paint, metal, anything else. That blue bin. Dead bodies. That's the thing. Your people, of all people, should roll your eyes at that last email because you've wrapped up dead people in carpets and then put them in those things, and they put them in the waste management. They squish them down into nothing. They go to the.
John Holmberg
But they. They. They decompose. It's fine.
Brady
Here's another reason why. Here's another reason.
John Holmberg
I love Ashes does not us.
Brady
This is. This is insensitive. But again, like I said, find me. I get worse. This is insensitive. What that guy just said was a lie perpetuated by big trash. That they've got AI and they've got cameras and all that. Every time. If that were true, this is going to make some people upset.
John Holmberg
Here we go.
Brady
Get your checkbook ready, John. Every time there's a missing kid, within a week, everybody's at the dump, kicking trash around, looking in there. I think they threw her away. Oh, why are we going to the cameras and the AI?
Bert
Yeah.
Brady
Because it doesn't exist.
John Holmberg
Looking for three years and only knows nice neighborhoods.
Brady
Yeah. Horrible things happen to somebody who goes missing. And then within a couple weeks. Does anybody check the dump if it were true? Anybody check the garbage cameras? Because those aren't real. That's not a thing. We use AI technology to find some dead kids. Because I've seen loads of people kicking trash around looking for dead people. Years later, we think they might have thrown around.
John Holmberg
It's like the mattress police. There's no tags on these mattresses.
Brady
I don't want to hear from you, Mr. AI cameras in the back of my truck. We do. And I know you got cameras, and that's just in case somebody's stuck in there.
Bert
Wally comes out and clubs you in the face, right?
Brady
Yeah. Find me. And right now. Hey, it's trash day. I'm pretty sure you're gonna find about 12 things in my blue bin. Trash won't come till, like, 11. Go dig around, find it, and then throw some fines on me. And again, I warn you, find me. I get worse because recycling is the world's biggest game. And by the way, it hasn't worked at all. There's been zero benefits from it. None. This guy says, I'm so pro recycling and pro life, I throw used condoms in the blue bin. You're right, John. You want to dig through my trash? Have at it, chief. You're gonna. You're the one who I'm laughing something. Check out homework's morning sickness podcast at 98kupd.comberg's Morning Sickness Look, I'd. I'd pay for someone to go through my trash if I could watch it. I think that's great. Like, all right, who's the real winner here? What was that? $185. Well worth it to watch you dig around in garbage.
Bert
Is that AI camera on the sorter at the place where they're dumping it.
Brady
But what do you live in a minority report? That's not a thing. We use AI technology and we have detectives and cameras everywhere. Well, how come you've never found one missing kid? Why does it always have to happen at the dump? That means that it went to four different places before we started looking. Where's your AI technology cameras now? Garbage.
Bert
Can'T get away with it. AI's always up your ass.
Brady
I'll tell you right now what I would do. And this is another little life hack throw. I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna buy paint and I'm gonna throw it away. Today I'm just gonna go over to Benjamin Moore and I'm gonna get 40 cans, 40 gallons, radio brain, something, no problem. I'm gonna get a tint too, make it look like I actually did something. And I'm gonna throw. I'm gonna throw in a primer and throw it all away that day. And I'm gonna open the cans a little bit so they leak, and then I'll put regular trash on top. And I'm just going to wait. And then when somebody comes and raps on my door from the city, AI garbage camera police. I'm gonna have a pair of dark glasses on and a white stick. Can I help you? Oh. Oh, we're sorry. We didn't realize you were blind. What's happening? What's happening?
Bert
You're gonna get a knock on the door from Mike Rowe. Dirty jobs back.
Brady
Good. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.
John Holmberg
Apparently the city of Chandler nailed this guy's co worker for illegal dumping.
Brady
All right? He got caught. It wasn't through AI.
Bert
It had to have been serious volume.
Brady
And illegal dumping was. This dude was driving over to dumpsters that didn't belong to him and throwing a bunch of stuff away.
Bert
Or put.
Brady
I bet you that's why. Look. Yeah, illegal dumping is usually somebody who's like, at 2 in the morning just got you. You're going through it, you're moving and you got a bunch of trash. And like, where's the. I used to do it in show low all the time.
John Holmberg
Where's Deseret?
Brady
I Would always. Middle of the night, I'd go take my trash behind this doctor's office, and I'd flip the F out. And my cameras. The God have cameras. I'd park real far away, run over with trash bags like Santa Claus, throw them inside the trash, run back to my car, turn the lights off, zoom through the parking lot, get out of there. Never been caught. And trust me, I get worse. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear about your great technology and your detectives and everything else. There's like, 20 or 30 dead kids in the dump right now. Now that we haven't found yet. Because your technology sucks. You're not finding my paint cans if you can't find little missing kids and people. I'm pretty sure they threw her away.
Bert
On the way up yesterday. Just going up 87, that dump. Oh, my gosh.
Brady
Huge. And, yeah, if they had any sort of camera technology that have found every dead person they've been in the dump looking for, remember that a few years ago, they shut the dump down, and, like, a hundred people were just going in there, kicking old paper and banana peels, looking for somebody. Yeah, because they thought the mom tossed the kid away. Like, well, where's your AI Tech then?
Bert
It's new, bro.
Brady
That's right. We just got it, and it's working like a chart. We're busting all sorts of paint cam guys. Okay.
Bert
It's good to hear some of that feedback, at least. Cameras.
Brady
They don't have AI Cameras in the back of garbage trucks.
John Holmberg
That would cost Minority Report in the garbage trucks.
Brady
Right? This guy says, I'm like you, John. AI cameras on the back of garbage trucks. So you get extra fines. I'm gonna toss horrible stuff in my neighbor's trash can. Exactly. You could set people up with this. It's not real. They'd have to. The. The burden of proof is ridiculous.
Bert
On trash framing.
Brady
Yeah. Oh, I would put. I would put a human head in Michael and Troy's trash just for the laugh.
John Holmberg
Can you imagine the. The AI and the cameras on Troy Michaels garbage?
Brady
Whoa. Oh, God. Turn it off.
Bert
Oh.
Brady
Looks like somebody just threw up milk for three days. What do they put in there? Yeah, Michael and Troy's trash just like. I don't know, like, clean, like boas. And it probably is stacked nicely. And I don't think there's a metam. They're married, so they. Yeah. Oh, just tons of that. Yeah. Metamucil. Yeah, that's probably it. And. But, like, what are those enemas A whole bunch of those. Yeah. Garbage trucks have fancy cameras. The garbage truck in our alley in downtown Phoenix blew a hydraulic line. Filled my entire alley with hydraulic mud. City came back, threw some hay on it and said, that's good. Still muddy. It's three years old. Please don't get me started and don't find me, because it's gonna get worse.
Bert
It's cyclical.
Brady
Yeah.
Bert
Happens two or three times a year.
Brady
Yeah, you're telling me. Waste management.
Bert
Cycling debate.
Brady
Here's the other thing. Brett's people still run waste management. Let's make no bones about that. You think we're adding cameras? The Italians are horrified of cameras. Hey, we got your cameras.
Bert
We'll.
Brady
We'll stick them on the. You know what? We'll put them in the garbage trucks. Oh, that's great. Thanks, Tony. He said he'd put the cameras in the garbage trucks. I'm gonna throw them away. You stupid son of a bitch. I'm not hooking them up.
Bert
Wasn't that long ago. For years, they just put up those ones that were just. They weren't even recording. Just the pseudo cameras.
John Holmberg
Cameras.
Bert
Remember they were saying that in department stores.
Brady
Another life hack. This guy just did. This is a great one. And I might start implementing this. Take all those cardboard boxes we get from Amazon.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
And fill them with stuff that shouldn't be recycled. And then box them and then throw them in there. You can double your trash. It's a good idea. Instead of breaking down all the thing, you put more trash inside the boxes. That's more proof there's nobody sorting your cardboard boxes. If you put all your dog poop into one of those shoe boxes from Amazon and then put it in the blue bin, you never get it. Like, ah, it's full filled with poop. It would be on the news. That's the guy says, we began throwing our excess trash and in the cardboard boxes, tape them up and then shove them in there. Take that. Waste management. Waste management isn't helping the cops with cameras and AI. That's nonsense.
Bert
I don't think we.
Brady
I don't think we're on the same page here with what's going on with the trash. Don Corleone, we need you to put cameras in to help us catch people. No, says Homburg. I know for a fact that all of Glendale's trash and recycling gets dumped together because I'm the unfortunate soul that has to go under the old sorting machine and check for 48 rat traps. The sorting machine does not work. I've been saying that for 15, 20 years. There's no way. It's just all conveyor belts to the same place. I used to recycle. Went to a transfer station with trash and they had a huge pile of plastic front end loader. Pushed it in with the rest of the traffic trash. I haven't recycled since. It's a scam. It's a jobs program. I've been saying that for ages. Keep it going, because it's a good jobs program. Got a lot of people employed doing recycling things that aren't real.
John Holmberg
Yeah. What are they doing?
Brady
Are we burning trash trucks? We got new trucks. We got new routes, new drivers. They. It's government jobs.
Bert
They're cool.
John Holmberg
Doge trucks bringing.
Brady
I'm Doge.
John Holmberg
I'm basically doing Elon.
Brady
I've been dojing that system for a long time. If you're really serious about it, you would do it yourself if. Because if you read about how recycling works. But what you want, deep down recycling people, is to make it as easy and as effortless as possible for you. So you can say, you do it what you like. Is that second trash can in your kitchen that makes you feel good about you, and then you throw it in that blue bin because you're just a. You're a helper. And then it goes wherever. And you don't know where it goes after that. You just know you did your part and they got you snowed.
Bert
It's partially sorted for them.
Brady
Right. You. Yeah, we helped out a little bit. And that's. So, you know, if you were really serious about environmental conditions and environmental recycling or you do it yourself, you'd make sure it was getting done correctly. You would make sure 100%.
Bert
We have two trucks that come by.
John Holmberg
We do, too.
Brady
Everybody does different days.
John Holmberg
No, we got.
Bert
Mine are the same three trucks.
Brady
We got three.
John Holmberg
Because you got the green, blue and the black. Yeah, I throw the dog poop right in the green.
Brady
Yeah, that thing's loaded with feces.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. No, black is like regular black can and then.
Brady
Yeah, black, green and blue.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
Yeah. We got three trucks that come through anyway.
John Holmberg
Do I forget the what?
Brady
Huh? Like you bag your grass up?
John Holmberg
No, I just dump it right in there. Are you supposed to.
Brady
Oh, oh, sometimes. And then I've heard sometimes. No, they had a big campaign bag and tie your garbage and grass. That used to be a city.
Bert
Campaign bags in the way.
Brady
I don't know. They always say bag and tie your garbage and grass. That was a campaign when I worked at the Zone. That was A PSA we had to read once. A shift bag and tie your garbage and grass. I remember that phrase because I had to do it all the time. I don't even know if that's still a thing.
John Holmberg
Then recycling too. You're supposed to recycle paper, but if you shred it, you can't recycle.
Brady
Recycle it, Right?
John Holmberg
So, okay, great.
Brady
Yeah, nobody's paying attention. If you wanted to do it right, if you were really serious about it, you wouldn't put it in the hands of someone else. I hate to be Grinch here, but I am. And go ahead and find me for my paint cans. I'll just say Michael and Troy did it. And I will giggle through my front window when I watch them cuffed and stuffed into cop cars. They like paint I put in. Yeah, they would love it. Could you get the furry ones? I don't mind this at all.
John Holmberg
You got nipple cuffs too.
Brady
Can you cuff us together? Michael and Troy would love to be arrested. Ooh, there's a hot cop outside. He's mad about paint.
John Holmberg
He doesn't have a boombox in his hand.
Brady
In fact, Michael's gonna come over later today. Don't mind throwing some stuff in our blue bin. Those guys come over every time after the AI Police show.
Bert
There were sailor hats in the recycle.
Brady
Bin and they were covered in paint. I think that was paint. God, I hope that was paint. It was sticky and it was white. Cough me, officer. I'm guilty of it.
John Holmberg
He said it was spackle. I'm not sure.
Brady
Did you spackle or paint a sailor over the weekend? Sorta. Get in the car. No problem. At 7:35. What do you got on the big board of musical treats? I've done enough damage to the recycling program. All right, wake up.

Brady
I just got an email for Goody Nick said the Trash cans in my office had to appease the ladies at the work. So they did a divider.
Bert
Yeah.
Brady
On the left was for cans, the middle was for paper, and the third was for trash. But the divider was one can. And no one figured it out. They're just throwing it all in the same can. But they had a whale in the air divider that was labeled. Well, no, that's not, because the airport actually is two separate. This is, if you can imagine.
Bert
They got the holes.
Brady
One trash can. Yeah. Maybe it is the same thing, but one trash can that wasn't divided. He's like, I was the one who points out, like, hey, you realize that the cans are falling right in the same hole as your trash?
Bert
Yeah. You just assume that they're separated.
Brady
Shut up, Nick. It makes me feel like I've done something, and deep down, boy, those people hate hearing that.
John Holmberg
Does Jill tell you that?
Brady
Yeah. Yeah, she got mad at me. Look, it makes me feel better. I'm like, if you really were serious about it, you'd do it yourself. Ugh. The one thing people hate is having to actually take full responsibility for their. Their cause. Nobody does it. Scam. Scam, I tells you. Scam. I'll probably get shot by Big Recycling. But scam.
Bert
Messing with the wrong people, you're messing with.
Brady
You're messing with the wrong hippies, bro. Ow. It just got hit with something from Chiba Hut. What was that? Take that. My biodegradable paper gun. Oh, hippie fight. Okay, pick it. I don't care. Brett.
John Holmberg
On the list. Get real quick. San Jesus for Dale. Nirvana Raped Me for osu. Bad Touch from Blow Down Gang for osu. Parkway Drive and Kill Switch Engage. Both coming next week. Avenged Metallica. Just one fix for the Needles at the concerts.
Brady
Oh, God, that's the one.
John Holmberg
White Zombies. Welcome to Planet Mother Effort for Trump to the Iranians.
Brady
Still, it's been 24 hours since our President used the F bomb to the press. So we have had one day. We got to change the sign. We changed the sign for the very first time since Washington was first put in. It has been this many days since the President said the F word to the media. We had to change it to zero. Now it's been one. We're back to one. The streak is alive. It's like the America's Cop. We had it forever. We lost it and we got it. We got to earn it back. Is there anything up there for Brady's support of rape?
John Holmberg
No.
Brady
I guess rape me. We could turn it that way for Ohio State because I looked at him and he had an Ohio. He had a lot of Ohio State on his back. Real proud of the rape School documentary proved it. All right, it's Ministry. Just one fix. We need to keep this top of mind. Any concert you go to, there's dudes stabbing each other with needles. Now it's getting weirder and weirder every day, and there's warnings out for all the. It is true, that's European festivals, but we got a lot of needles out there. We're a needle heavy society. So just be careful. If you feel a. I hate to say it this way, you feel a small prick, punch that person. Punch anyone who gives you a small prick. That goes for you ladies. It's ministry. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.
