Brady
Good Tuesday morning to you, Phoenix.
John Holmberg
Hello, world. Hi.
Brady
Happy National High Five Day.
John Holmberg
High five.
Brady
Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke get credit for it.
John Holmberg
I tell the story all the time.
Brady
77 for the Doyers.
John Holmberg
Glenn Burke, also the first homosexual baseball player that we know about, and he invented the high five with Dusty Baker after they went back to back with home runs. Dusty hit his 30th of the year. And was it Dusty or Glenn hit his first of the season, rounding third, lifting his hand in the air where Dusty smacked his gay, dirty hand away from his, creating the now known high five.
Brady
It's also National Pinata Day, so take a stick and whack a friend.
John Holmberg
That's right. Not the invention of the pinata. Just, I was at the gas station on 16th street in Glendale the other day, and for no reason at all, it was the most culturally.
Unknown
Careful.
John Holmberg
I want to use a good. Like, as a white guy watching this, it's like, come on, you guys, I can see you. Mexican family pulls up with a pinata in the back of their pickup truck, and another Mexican lady in another car runs over and goes, where did you get that? And I'm like, all right, guys, come on. Like, I just saw that. You can't show that kind of excitement for pinatas in front of me. It adds to the stereotype. I mean, she literally got out of her car and ran over, like, holy cow, pinata. Where are you? Where are you going? And where did you get that? You don't know where to get a pinata? I don't know where to get it.
Brady
You don't think it was a publicity.
John Holmberg
Stunt to sell pinatas to bowl?
Brady
Like you don't know, lady.
John Holmberg
Well, that's what I thought. I thought, how in the world have you gotten this far, this excited about pinatas in the culture you're from and not know where to get them? Me, I have no idea where to buy a pinata. It's a neighborhood I probably don't want to be in. I remember they used to sell them in Guadalupe sometimes, but I'd had to stop My car. And that's just flat ridiculous. I wasn't stopping my car in Guadalupe unless I was behind the gates.
Brady
Yeah, there's a couple of. I know my neighbor is always big on that and she has one store.
John Holmberg
Pinatas.
Brady
Yeah. For the kids birthdays.
John Holmberg
Oh. See, I think that's cultural appropriation that white kids do. Come up with your own.
Brady
I think it's an all skate.
John Holmberg
No, pinatas are not. Nope. That's. No. You get in trouble if you dress people up in dashikis and had some sort of like goat roast or something.
Brady
What about pin the tail on the burrow?
John Holmberg
If you called it a burrow, we changed it to donkey. It becomes white with donkey. If you started the burrow thing, I'd have questions. Pinatas aren't a white kid thing. It's appropriation. Dress them up as little matadors and stuff. It's just not right. Come up with your own white guy idea. Hold on.
Unknown
Wait a minute.
John Holmberg
And I wouldn't be surprised.
Unknown
Don't stop at the. Dressing them up as little mad.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's little baby bulls.
Unknown
Come on now.
John Holmberg
Yeah. If you're gonna do the matador party for your white.
Unknown
Brady was looking for miniature Hereford cows or whatever.
John Holmberg
Baby balls. Little baby balls.
Brady
They could be. Pick a doors for the.
John Holmberg
And then they kill it and roast it. Come on.
Unknown
At a four year old birthday party?
John Holmberg
Come on. I'd watch it, but it isn't right. Why can't. Why can't you just do the white version where it's just little babies fending off.
Unknown
Peter Piper has that every day.
John Holmberg
You don't need the hat.
Unknown
You're not gonna get that.
John Holmberg
You don't need the hat. Just do it as white kids fending off bulls. You don't need the hat.
Brady
We could do the mini Fredo's Bolo. American poker.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
We have the kids.
John Holmberg
The kids sitting at a table and then a bowl, baby, bowl surrounds. It's the four year olds.
Unknown
We met with the PBR people yesterday. They're going to put our listeners in one of the. They call it the shark cage in the middle of the arena and they.
John Holmberg
Just bang into it. I think potentially it's safe.
Brady
Maybe have to jump into the cage to be safe. I can go out. Oh, you're adding wrinkles.
Unknown
Okay, keep going.
John Holmberg
That's not what it is.
Unknown
You thought. You thought Kevin had to have a big NDA.
John Holmberg
No, they NDA looks.
Brady
You can't talk.
John Holmberg
Come talk about how your ass fell out at my store. You gotta pay Me? Yeah. Pinatas are. That's cultural appropriation. When white mothers get pinatas for their little white kids and then it's to celebrate. Especially if it's like a Mexican kid's birthday and you're having it at your house because your maid asked.
Brady
I don't think.
John Holmberg
Can we have my kids birthday at your house?
Brady
They care. I don't think they care.
John Holmberg
Who?
Brady
Whoever's selling the pinatas.
John Holmberg
Oh, they don't care.
Brady
That's revenue.
John Holmberg
But when you have it. Because that's how it would happen. One of those Gilbert moms, her maid says, excuse me miss. Can we have my son's birthday party at your beautiful home? I'll give you a free week of cleaning.
Unknown
Sure.
John Holmberg
And I'll buy a pinata if I can invite my own friends and then have white kids hitting the.
Unknown
Thanks, Ms. Tuohy.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Lee Ann Tuohy, that's. Who would do that. I'll take your little Savage brown and I'll buy him a pinata. Does he speak English? Will we be eating tortillas? We'll make tortillas and beans and such.
Unknown
Guy says John, I don't want to get you started, but did you know about this? Pinatas these days are rarely made to be hit. They actually are making them with pull strings now because the little bastard kids don't know how to hit it with a stick. So they go up and pull the string and get all the candy out.
John Holmberg
And also it's too dangerous.
Brady
Oh like they pop the bottom out of them.
John Holmberg
So they blindfold them and then make them reach for a tampon string. But.
Brady
Teach them young parties I've been to in the last. You know, I've seen a couple of kids line up hitting the pinata. They end up breaking them.
John Holmberg
But it takes cuz you're in Gilbert where they culturally appropriate pinatas, they know how to swing.
Brady
You know the little league, right.
John Holmberg
I guarantee you there are no Mexican kids at those parties. That's how the goons got started. Swinging bats at pinatas at white kid.
Brady
Good one, Talon.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
Five Hour Energy just unveiled a new product for the summer. Caffeinated barbecue sauce. It's not clear if they're planning to sell it, but they're giving away 12 ounce bottles through their website. The first drop was yesterday. Blown out. They're gonna do a couple more. Three more. July 2, July 9 and July 16.
John Holmberg
So if caffeine, if you're. If you struggle with barbecue is. It gets sleepy. This will stop all that.
Brady
Well, pick Me up in your fourth.
John Holmberg
Get a little pick me up. You stay awake, why don't you? Why don't you pick me up?
Brady
There's only one flavor too. Peach. Mango.
John Holmberg
Just do cocaine, for God's sakes. Don't put caffeine in that. A sugar based super item. Just add caffeine, you might as well be taking a five hour energy drink and pouring it on your ribs.
Brady
I have another friend that's producing some THC barbecue sauce.
John Holmberg
THC or CBD? CBD's the non high one.
Brady
Yeah, no, it's THC.
John Holmberg
He's trying to get you high approved.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
How much barbecue you're gonna be eating, man? Brady, stay away from this because it makes you hungrier. Don't do it.
Brady
I'll have to do some fields.
John Holmberg
No, no, no, no, no. You don't need that. Think of how depressed your parents would be.
Brady
I want to be there for that.
John Holmberg
If he starts doing that, combining addictions. I'm not a fan of this at all. I'll just give him some fentanyl and end it.
Brady
Cops in Tampa say this lady, Corolla Mitchell, she's 52. She's been using fortune telling service as a ruse to gain entry into people's homes and steal stuff like cash and jewelry. One of the robberies happened at a trailer park last month. She knocked on a woman's door and asked her if there are any good Mexican restaurants around. Then she asked for a glass of water. Once inside, she offered to read the woman's palm and pulled a gun.
John Holmberg
Oh, boy.
Brady
Made off with 12,000 in cash. Trailer park.
John Holmberg
Good haul.
Brady
It's a trailer park.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Brady
Police tracked Corolla down.
John Holmberg
She knew something. You rob a trailer, you walk with 12,000 from a trailer park. You had some inside info.
Brady
She also slipped that there might be a few more victims. Not clear how many. They're getting a warrant to search her phone. She may have messaged some of them beforehand.
John Holmberg
Message the victims to say, I'm gonna rob you?
Brady
Well, basically I'm coming to do a palm reading.
John Holmberg
Or do a reading. Who in a trailer park has enough dough to bring a palm reader in? I'm gonna spend extra $85 to find out what tomorrow holds. That's all I care about is the future. No, you better start working on today. That's about what I expect. Oh, yeah, no, she's a palm reader's face. She put on the moon and stars pointy hat too.
Brady
And Marius Gustafson is being arrested. Marius Gustafson.
John Holmberg
That's a stroke we missed you Friday. All those words that Brett read perfectly and Larry did a couple stories and none of that elicitously. What do you. Yeah, something like duplicitously. And sailed over it. And we all just looked at each other like. Man, never heard that before.
Brady
Refreshing.
John Holmberg
Not refreshing, just different.
Brady
Confusing.
John Holmberg
Like the Northern lights.
Unknown
That's true.
John Holmberg
It was confusing. It was like we didn't have to try as hard to listen.
Brady
Well, Marius Gustafson, okay. And his acolytes carried out.
John Holmberg
Why did you knock that one out of the yard? You've never even said that. Odds are you don't even know what that is before.
Unknown
That's the definition of an accolade.
John Holmberg
Well, he knows now because he's read it. But prior to that, you asked him that this morning. You wouldn't know.
Brady
An acolyte.
John Holmberg
Stop it.
Brady
There's an ultra boy.
John Holmberg
Oh, that could be. Yeah.
Brady
You might put out the candles. That's what they called us. You're an acolyte on this round.
John Holmberg
Okay. That was a light. Put her outers.
Brady
Yeah. This guy and his merry men carried out male castrations, penis removal and other procedures. Amputations for sexual pleasure. They'd film it.
Unknown
Oh, this is breast videos, guys.
Brady
It is. He's 46 years old and he had six accomplices. They got life in prison. They did stuff they said a little more than human butchery in one case. One of the videos appeared that day. Gustafson removed some human testicles and cut them up and stop. Plated them to be eaten.
John Holmberg
Stop it.
Brady
They're sharing the court case, some of the knives they've recovered.
John Holmberg
I know that. I know. What?
Brady
He had stuff packaged in his refrigerator.
John Holmberg
Okay? Yuck.

The Orange county sheriff in Florida has confirmed incident that happened at Disney World earlier this year. A grandma got groped by a grandma groped Goofy.
John Holmberg
Sorry. Too many GS. The Gennady Golovkin of sentences.
Brady
Triple G. Grandma was taking a picture with Goofy.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
And she reached down, started squeezing his buns. Oh, that's three times.
John Holmberg
Big deal.
Brady
Well, the 32 year old male cast member who was playing Goofy did not like. Wants to press full charges.
Unknown
Fragile.
John Holmberg
Oh God. I could get it if it was a girl inside there. Because you don't know sometimes there's chicks inside of the costumes.
Unknown
But all grandma's got to do is plead Alzheimer's.
John Holmberg
Yeah, just play old lady.
Brady
She groped me. And when she was groping me, I could hear it go woo woo. As she's grabbing a handful of Goofy.
John Holmberg
Come on. Exactly. Get over. Have some fun. Grandma gusta. It's fun. You're. You're a kid's toy.
Brady
When I was Scooby Doo, you got.
John Holmberg
Goosed all the time.
Brady
And the. I'll never forget the American coaster enthusiast, which was predominantly a gay organization. They'd ride roller coasters and rate them.
John Holmberg
I got questions when you're done.
Brady
On you. I got groped in the front.
John Holmberg
You got pee pee groped. Scooby did.
Brady
Yeah. I wonder if Scooby's a boy or a girl.
John Holmberg
And then they said, I still can't tell. I said, it's not a Sheila. I guess she has sort of a large lady button.
Brady
You can't tell.
John Holmberg
It's sort of in the middle. You didn't care. You weren't pressing charges. And especially back then when you were probably more apt to hate the gays out loud. You know, it was a different time. I giggled when straight religious kids were like gay.
Unknown
So what a perfect time to get that silicone wing we put on his jeep. Remember that time to throw that inside your Scooby costume?
John Holmberg
Yeah. If that happened, I would have. Scooby would be just a rope down. Yeah.
Brady
I'd Be his thighs are huge to begin with.
John Holmberg
Well, I'd be filling them up. Some Asian tourists felt my leg.
Unknown
Much like foot size.
Brady
Thigh size says a lot of Scooby Doo.
John Holmberg
Indeed. Like, Scoob, that lady's grabbing your joint, bruh. Hard as a rock. Dragging. Like, you're making Scoob hard, grandma. I would watch that. I want to watch this guy. There's got to be a Scooby Doo porn out there somewhere. Fire that Scooby snack right in her eye, Bruh. Mystery solved.
Brady
34 year old Lucas McClish, California went on a three hour hike back on June 11th. Somehow he got himself lost in the forest of the Santa Cruz Mountains for 10 days. He didn't have anything with him because he was just on his way to work. But thankfully he survived thanks to drinking water out of his hiking boots.
Unknown
Wait a minute. He was on. He was on his way to work and three hours.
Brady
He went on a three hour hike?
Unknown
Brett's the only other one I know that maybe takes a side trip on his way to work.
John Holmberg
I'm gonna bounce out here, take 15 minutes to myself. I like the Santa Cruz. Yeah, sometimes I don't like freeways.
Unknown
You know, not so scenic. All the same, you didn't see anything.
John Holmberg
You never see a road run around a freeway. So I pull over and I look for wildlife. You know, sometimes I get out, enjoy my walk around.
Brady
The three hour hike turned into a ten day journey.
John Holmberg
Oops. That's like Gilligan's eye. I was just gonna say that.
Brady
The authorities used drones to locate him in the thick forest after witnesses reported hearing his pleas for help. Multiple agencies were involved. Lucas made it out with no major injuries, although he looked like he'd been there for 10 years.
Unknown
He came out with like dirt and mud on his face.
Brady
Yeah, I saw the guy drinking water out of his boots, foraging for wild berries, eluding mountain lion.
John Holmberg
Just one.
Brady
And dreaming of burritos.
John Holmberg
He said okay. He eluded one mountain lion.
Brady
I don't even know if he saw one. He was.
John Holmberg
Oh, why'd you bring it up?
Brady
Cuz that's what he felt like he was doing.
Unknown
Oh, hold on. Did he say that or you spitballing that?
Brady
No, just say.
John Holmberg
Can I see the paper?
Unknown
You're just saying it.
John Holmberg
Let me see the paper.
Brady
Trying to elude a mountain lion.
John Holmberg
So he did.
Brady
He never saw it.
John Holmberg
Why are you mad at him? There we go. All right. Use drones. I don't even see anything about a mountain lion.
Brady
It's on the bottom.
John Holmberg
Luke spent his days desperately hiking up and down canyons, drinking water out of his boots, foraging for. Yeah. Trying to elude him out. So it actually did happen.
Brady
He's making it up.
John Holmberg
Why do you say that?
Brady
Because he's delusional. Oh, dehydrated.
John Holmberg
Are you so angry at this guy? No answer. There's a very strange way to dig your heels in on a guy who got lost, very possibly chased by a mountain lion. Don't buy it.
Brady
I don't.
John Holmberg
Do you think he actually drank?
Brady
No. He could have been chased by a mountain lion.
John Holmberg
That's right. Why is this a contention? What is the contentious.
Brady
Because I was accused of making that up.
John Holmberg
No, you were accused of not knowing anything. And you said, well, first off, don't ask questions first. Yeah, well, we want an answer. That's the problem asking you. When we said it, he said no. He was just imagining these things. This is what he felt like. And I'm like, did he actually.
Brady
Yeah. The only thing he's imagining was the burritos. And I think he might have been imagining the mountain lion.
John Holmberg
Why do you think that, though? What? This is where we want. In your mind for a second. So if you imagine. Yes, because he saw that he imagined burritos. So Brady just decided that that's all of it, was part of the story. Just sat there and imagined it. Because when I said, did he really elude a mountain lion? No, it's just that's how he felt like, oh, but that's not true. The burritos. Because you don't have wild burritos.
Brady
That doesn't always mean it's chasing.
John Holmberg
Well, you don't know if he saw it or if it was chasing him. He's saying, and I'm gonna take.
Brady
If he had a burrito, it would be no.
John Holmberg
And there are no wild burritos.
Unknown
Brady's got grouchy face.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You were grumpy instead of just saying. Yeah, I don't know why I said that. That was weird. I don't know why I dug in on that. One guy probably got chased by a mountain lion. Who am I to say? Mark Curtis do that. 12News. A man lost in the woods today was chased by a mountain lion. I bet. Whatever. Here's what I think of that. Career mountain. I didn't chase this. We'll be right back with weather.
Brady
Keep drinking water out of your boots.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I don't understand why you're so angry at him.
Brady
I'm not angry, Adam.
John Holmberg
You seem angry. Little grouchy towards the missing man.
Brady
He's lucky to Be alive.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the whole point. Yeah. Yeah, no kidding. You're gonna kill him again. All right. Maybe you should go back and find.
Brady
That at a barbecue this weekend.
John Holmberg
Missing man, eh? Delicious. Okay, Brett has found an animation of Shaggy. Whoa. Just blasting Velma. Or Daphne. Wait, yeah, that's Daphne. Daphne. Oh, Velma's disgusting.
Brady
She's getting on with the ghoul.
John Holmberg
But Daphne is. Good lord. Whoa. Fred is driving and shagging the passenger seat with Velma. But Fred is driving and Daphne is. That's hot. Why is that hot to me? I am enjoying that. Like, where's the dog? Oh, there actually really isn't a real Scooby Doo triple X parody. Real women. Yuck. Jeez.
Unknown
Shag is hung.
John Holmberg
Yeah, definitely has some extra. Is that an alien is going on? Was that Old Man Johnson there? And we would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids. And this Johnson. Wow. I want to watch that. It can't be any, you know, more shallow than the story Scooby told. Find some live action stuff, Brett. There it is. There we go. Wow. Oh, Daphne is just Danny Jensen and Stephanie. What's her name? There's Daphne. I want to watch this. There's something wrong with me that I'm enjoying this way too much. Velma can just disappear. I don't care about Velma. Although they picked a pretty good Velma. Isn't Velma's pretty hot, but Daphne's the kill. You're focused heavily on the Velma pictures. I'm just. I'm just going down the line here. I didn't. It's too much Velma. Where's Fred in all this? He was just. He was always driving. Oh, there he is. There he is. Now he's getting. There you go, Fred. Welcome to the party, buddy. Where's the dog? Leave him in the car. Scooby's gonna die. Hot out. There he is. Good God, he's involved. Remember when Scooby used to get the cake and stuff and then his tongue would lick his whole head?
Brady
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
They could do that in the porn. Like, you got it on your forehead, Scoob.
Brady
Guy in Canada named Darren Stewart Jones got an email from Tim Hortons on Wednesday. Tell him told him he won a forty thousand dollar fishing boat. It was a grand prize in a contest they've been running called Roll up to Win.
John Holmberg
It's a trap.
Brady
And you imagine he's pretty stoked until a buddy called him and goes, hey, I just won the boat too. Was a trap. Because they end up getting thousands of people that won the boat. It was a mistake in the contest.
John Holmberg
Oh, I thought it was a sting operation.
Brady
That's what I was hoping for because.
John Holmberg
I remember watching, long time ago, the Redskins were in the super bowl, And in Washington, D.C. they emailed out free super bowl tickets to everyone who had a felony warrant active. And they told them to go down to a. They covered it on. I think it was on 60 Minutes. How Sting operations. And they covered it and all these Redskins fans showed up. That was a team back in the early 90s. Redskins not allowed to talk about them anymore. Or Caitlin Clark gets mad. So anyway, it goes back all the way to the 90s, if you can imagine. And they had these guys milling around, all talking to each other, and the one guy had a great thing because they're like, yeah, we all getting super bowl tickets, man. And they're all talking about stuff. And a few of them knew each other. And the one guy said, how? How did this happen? And the other guy goes, sweepstakes. And he goes, from what? I didn't sign up for anything. Me neither. And they all kind of slowly started to realize that none of them had entered a contest. Must have been 90 dudes in this room and they just locked the doors. All right, guys, let's line up and get your names. Half of them had already signed their papers, but one guy kind of. You saw his face go, oh, none of us have played the game and we all won. It's a trap. Get that bitch.
Brady
Tim Horton sent a follow up email telling people to disregard the boat thing. But now a ton of angry Canadians are threatening them with a class action lawsuit.
John Holmberg
Angry Canadians. Yeah, we used to say that at Tony Romas for people who didn't tip.
Brady
Someone started a Facebook group called the Tim Hortons. You want a boat group? 2,000 people joined it as of last night, demanding their boats. Probably won't happen because the fine print says Tim Hortons has the right to cancel, amend, or suspend the contest if there's any sort of error made.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's smart legalese. Basically saying, we don't ever have to give you a boat.
Unknown
Imagine that. Can they show that to our lawyers?
John Holmberg
Oh, our lawyers make us say it all the time. I always point out the part of our rules whenever they're like, you got to do it exactly like this. I'm like, yeah, but it says, here we go. We reserve the right to change the contest at any time. Then we got to tell the lawyers, man, we'll ask for forgiveness later.
Brady
I guess In March of 2023, they told a bunch of people they'd won 10,000 in cash. Each customer ended up getting a $50 gift card for the trouble.
John Holmberg
Tim Horton's got to stop running contests.
Brady
Whatever company they.
John Holmberg
Tim Hortons Delicious. I went to Tim Hortons. I thought it was good. Why are they giving away boats and stuff? That's. That's the act of a desperate restaurant.
Brady
You run a contest. Yeah.
John Holmberg
But you're desperately. If your food isn't selling enough where you got to give away a boat to have somebody come eat eggs.
Brady
McDonald's was selling very well.
John Holmberg
McDonald's food place. That does. Yeah. You were going there anyway. And now there's a reason to win a million dollars. It's not like they're handing out a boat.
Brady
