No wonder you're the best morning show. How can anyone listen to you every day? Same old crap, of course. Long commercial break. Great companies that do great work and give back to this community couldn't be prouder that they're on the station. Greedy capitalist pigs. Some great banger songs too. Break stuff. I want to break my radio over my head. The music's so bad, but I love it. I love you guys. I think you're the best. Now go yourselves. Sign Jay, forget about it. That's our new J. Foe. That's true. Thank you, Brian. That's exactly how I felt reading Jay Foe's email. And hopefully at 2:05 in the morning, he'll once again email some sort of retort. Brett's out there this morning. Before we get to the Brady Report. He's at Albertsons and Carefree highway in the I17 and he's doing the operation Hydration thing, which by what was the name of the company yesterday?

[John Holmberg]

[Brett Vesely]

There it is.

[Howard Holmberg]

I want you to push it out there and kill it for us this morning. How's it Looking out there on Carefree highway and the I17. Where is he? Oh, wait. Sorry. There he is. Sorry, Brad.

[Howard Holmberg]

Wow.

[Brett Vesely]

So they showed up with a truck already, and I'm sending them to the station. I'm like, dude, I can't take that with me. But he's like, yeah, we'll haul it down there.

[Howard Holmberg]

So four more pallets from. What is it? Winston Water.

[Brett Vesely]

What? Winston Water Cooler. The owner, Philip, decided to donate all that, and it's the North Phoenix location because there's a couple different locations, but he wanted to make sure it's North Phoenix. The other. The other guys around the valley haven't stepped up yet.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, that's fantastic. This is amazing.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. So thanks to Philip and Doug, who dropped it off, and then Pixar Auto Works, the mobile detailing company, Kane dropped off 100 bucks for me in an envelope. Sonoran Medical dropped off some cash or a mechanical dropped off some cash. So we're. We're rocking and rolling here, man.

[Howard Holmberg]

All right. That's a beautiful thing. I have a. I'm sorry if I seem distracted. I am in the middle of a domestic.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Howard Holmberg]

Well, I've got a problem at home. It's about a woodpecker. I've got a woodpecker. It isn't because the woodpecker is damaging anything around the house. It dropped its baby. And so I got a text.

[Megan Holmberg]

Will you tell Al and the yard crew not to do the backyard today? There's a fledgling woodpecker under the tree.

[Howard Holmberg]

And I emailed back. Well, yesterday. Here was the conversation I had yesterday.

[Megan Holmberg]

It's like there was this peacock in the tree, and a little peacock was laying under the tree.

[Howard Holmberg]

And I'm like, what are you talking about?

[Megan Holmberg]

What do you mean?

[Howard Holmberg]

Like, we have peacocks in the backyard. No, what are you talking about?

[Megan Holmberg]

Did I say peacock? Yes, I meant woodpecker.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, right. That's a natural. Miss. So now there's.

[Brett Vesely]

Do you live at the World Wildlife Zoo or. What is this over here?

[Howard Holmberg]

I got this yard where the a 1oz bird in the back, and I'm Supposed to tell my yard crew not to do any work back there because. Just tell them to avoid the goddamn bird.

[Philip D. Cummings]

We have a nestling in the yard.

[Howard Holmberg]

So she sends a picture of Woody Woodpecker, and she goes, this.

[Megan Holmberg]

That's.

[Howard Holmberg]

And I'm like, woody was an asshole.

[Megan Holmberg]

The backyard can't wait one more week.

[Howard Holmberg]

What if the bird's still there? How long does this go on?

[Megan Holmberg]

He's in the path where they walk.

[Howard Holmberg]

Ask them to step over the bird. They're not blind. We don't have oracles in the backyard. Well, they're just.

[Brett Vesely]

She doesn't like.

[Howard Holmberg]

It's what?

[Brett Vesely]

Brett strap a leaf blower to her back and have her do the yard herself?

[Howard Holmberg]

Damn it, I Love Prep. He's 100% right. That yard gets. Look, something in that house is getting blown, and it ain't me. So you better get that leaf blower on your back and walk around that backyard and get it done. If Al isn't allowed back there. Yeah, she wants me to text him. I'm like, you're home. Go outside and talk to Al.

[Megan Holmberg]

Oh, he won't listen to me.

[Howard Holmberg]

No, probably not. And neither am I. Click. Pretty much. I'm texting. It's back and forth. Oh, okay. So then the last one I got.

[Megan Holmberg]

Are you cool if I do that? You're not going to beat me.

[Howard Holmberg]

I hadn't honestly. I honestly hadn't thought about it until just now. No promises, but if the backyard don't.

[Brett Vesely]

Get done, it's on the table.

[Howard Holmberg]

Let's see if the company gets mad when I go. You know, at home today, there's a pretty good chance, a little domestic.

[Brett Vesely]

You gotta leave and take care of a woodpecker.

[Howard Holmberg]

I gotta get out of here. I got a woodpecker that's laying in my backyard. I gotta work around that. And I went out and I said, pick it up. Put it somewhere else.

[Megan Holmberg]

I'm not going to touch it.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, don't get me started. Yesterday, get a ladder.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Put it in the tree.

[Howard Holmberg]

When we had the peacock talk, it was. When we were. There was a problem in the dog room. The dogs have their own little, like, house in the back. It's, like, not a dog house. It's supposed to be a casita or, like, a night, but it's. It's turned into the dog's paradise. They have two backyards. These dogs are spoiled beyond belief. And we go in there, and there was maggots. You ever have a maggot outbreak? They just show up, and then there's like, 80 of them. It was around the trash can there. You know, it's weird. Something happened. Something got down there. The dogs brought something in, God knows what, instead of doggy doors. And so. So they got in there. They're maggots. The whole room had to be, like, pulled apart.

[John Holmberg]

Find the source.

[Howard Holmberg]

So, no. But everything. She's throwing everything away. And I'm like, what are you doing? What are you doing? It was that dying peacock we have in the backyard. They're known for that. She's throwing it. I'm like, you don't throw everything down.

[Megan Holmberg]

This is all gone. It's wrong.

[Howard Holmberg]

And wouldn't, like, would sweep it. And then she's stomping them into the thing, and they don't die. They're rubber. It was this big mess with maggots. And then I'm hearing about the peacocks. I'm like, this is a disaster. I don't know what's going on here, but I'm not playing along anymore. So now this whole you're not gonna beat me thing. I hadn't really put that into play. Well, but you know what? Brett might be right. That might be an an.

[Megan Holmberg]

I'm telling Al to skip the backyard.

[Howard Holmberg]

Go ahead. Go ahead. Or put some gloves on and pick that bird up and put it in a. Why do I care about this woodpecker? Its own parents left it. It's the Toledo woodpecker. It was just left to its own devices. Nope. I don't understand this at all. I digress.

[John Holmberg]

Sorry for the Brady interruption here. So, John, you're saying Megan got her peckers and cocks?

[Howard Holmberg]

Don't pun with me right now. I'm not in the mood. All right, Brett, you'. I'm done. The whole conversation's over. You can't have. You can't have a decent conversation. Conversation with these people without them going punny. All right? Brett's out there this morning. I'm sorry. I'm distracted. Carefree highway in the I17. Operation Hydration. Going strong, my friend. Knock it stiff. We'll talk to you in a little bit. And thanks to Winston Waterworks. That was awesome. Four more pallets, guys. This thing is going nuts. I got a peacock issue. Huh?

[Megan Holmberg]

I'm telling him to skip the backyard.

[Howard Holmberg]

Why? The whole thing?

[Megan Holmberg]

Yep. They're right in the path where the guys would be walking.

[Howard Holmberg]

Move him.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Shoebox it.

[Megan Holmberg]

Come on. I can't touch him.

[Howard Holmberg]

Glove up, please. Touch him, please. What?

[Megan Holmberg]

I'm worried for the little guy. I want him to make it.

[Howard Holmberg]

Then go put your gloves On. Put him in a shoebox, put him up on the counter for a minute. Let Al and the guys go through, do the yard, then put him back.

[Megan Holmberg]

What if the mom doesn't know where he is?

[Howard Holmberg]

It's a terrible, terrible woodpecker. Mom is what it is.

[Megan Holmberg]

You say you love animals.

[Howard Holmberg]

I do.

[Philip D. Cummings]

If it's anything like hummingbirds, that guy was pushed out of the nest.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, they. We have them all over the backyard. They push them out all the time. And then they watch.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Basically they have a batch.

[Howard Holmberg]

Birds watch them and they're like, get on your own. Stand on your own two feet. And then if you get close, they start dive bombing the woodpeckers. Oh, all birds. We got those kestrels back there. No, they're gone. The kestrels killed and ate all those. I've got falcons. It's a safe haven. They know that nothing bad can happen to them there. And the woodpeckers and the kestrels are the only ones back there now. And they're all dick birds. We have a whole backyard of dick birds. It's like I invited all Irish birds to my house.

[John Holmberg]

Dick bird's pen name.

[Philip D. Cummings]

You got gypsy birds.

[Howard Holmberg]

I just got the last one.

[Megan Holmberg]

I won't cancel. Hopefully it hides in a bush. I'm also hoping those falcons don't kill him.

[John Holmberg]

She's busy.

[Howard Holmberg]

No, look, the falcons could very well eat this bird. That's the only real concern that she should have is that the falcons that she's harbored and loved are now going to eat the other birds that she likes. And they're babies.

[Philip D. Cummings]

They have to feed their babies.

[Howard Holmberg]

Don't start in Richard Attenborough with the circle of life in my backyard. If Snow White headed her way, nothing would die. It's crazy. I might text Al and go. Do me a favor. If you see a little bird laying on the ground, see how far you can push it with a leaf blower. Number one sickness.

Thursday morning to you, Phoenix.

[Howard Holmberg]

Hello, world. Hi.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Happy National Pina Colada Day.

[Howard Holmberg]

Yuck. Coconut drink.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Couple outfit. Random fun facts. Wayne Gretzky is the only player to score 200 points in an NHL season. He did it four times.

[John Holmberg]

He's also. There's like 13 guys who hit 100 assists. He did it 11 times.

[Howard Holmberg]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Or 13 seasons.

[Howard Holmberg]

You take away all of his goals. He's still the leading scorer in hockey with Just assists. It's unreal. His number of assists is. Ovechkin just passed him for most goals and he's still 800 plus points behind him total because he's nowhere near him in assist. And can you just pass Gretzky? Be like two.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Howard Holmberg]

He's got like 807 goals or something like that, and he's like a thousand points behind.

[Philip D. Cummings]

The busiest Domino's Pizza location in the world was the one right outside of the Marine base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man.

[Howard Holmberg]

You don't drink the water there.

[Philip D. Cummings]

The white dashed lines on the highway. How long do you think they are each?

[Howard Holmberg]

Each line? Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Two feet, three feet.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Funny, a lot of people say 10ft.

[Howard Holmberg]

Long each on the freeways.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Yeah.

[Howard Holmberg]

Because I'm looking at. I thought like, all right, highway lines. That's not right.

[Philip D. Cummings]

The white ones are 10ft.

[Howard Holmberg]

If they're white, they're 10ft.

[John Holmberg]

It's a long one. Look out there. Those are long. I don't know if that's. That's not a highway, but I mean.

[Howard Holmberg]

I'm looking at the road. You're right. I never really paid attention. Along the white lines up your nose or through your veins. White lines. Fishing, dreams of passion. 10ft of white lines. Maryvale just woke up. What?

[Philip D. Cummings]

Only 4% of the calls routed to fire departments in the U. S. Are for actual fires. Majority of the calls are medical emergencies.

[Howard Holmberg]

They handle everything. Car wrecks, fire department. They're busy.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Rumor has it that Apple's upcoming iOS 26 update will include a feature that detects if you're having phone sex over facetime. It'll pause your camera and a warning screen pops up that says you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call then there are two buttons. Resume audio and video or end call. Supposed to be a security hold on.

[Howard Holmberg]

It's basically the are you sure of like committing to a buy. Double click to buy is now before you jerk off all over yourself. Are you sure? Sure you know what the phone is, right? I don't really want to do this if I'm in the middle of jerking off. The phone ain't stopping.

[Philip D. Cummings]

And some people are creeped out that Apple knowing when you're being naughty.

[John Holmberg]

Oh yeah, they'll. They'll have all that they know. They already know for me. When you're closing rings on your. On your iwatch and you're laying down.

[Howard Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, the my naughty is pretty easy to find. It's like when I search 35 different videos for Pornhub in a 10 minute span.

[John Holmberg]

You're saying it's a little obvious?

[Howard Holmberg]

It's fairly obvious what I'm about to do.

[Philip D. Cummings]

There's this woman in San Jose, California. She's been getting hundreds of Amazon packages over the past year. All of them contain the same thing. Oversized fake leather car seat covers which were made in China. They're scattered. Scattered all over a property. You can't even. It can't even. None of them fit in her car seat to begin with.

[Howard Holmberg]

Wait, what? They just threw them in her yard.

[Philip D. Cummings]

These packages keep arriving to her house.

[Howard Holmberg]

Does she want them?

[Philip D. Cummings]

She complained to Amazon.

[Howard Holmberg]

Hold on, though. But she tried them out first.

[John Holmberg]

Apparently she said, oh, I see.

[Howard Holmberg]

She might have done what I do and thought she ordered one.

[Philip D. Cummings]

She contacted the Amazon. They promised her the deliveries would stop, but they didn't. They told her to dispose of the boxes herself or donate them. The woman said she couldn't afford to do that. And no charity wants hundreds of fake leather car covers. Car seat covers. Then she contacted local news. They looked into it. Turns out that Amazon, the Amazon seller, was in China. And they randomly put her address as the return address because they wouldn't have to pay to have the large boxes sent all the way back to China. Once that story aired on the news, Amazon finally sent a truck over to her house to pick up all the boxes. Hundreds of them.

[Howard Holmberg]

Maybe that's what happened with me in those cabana clothes. Could have sworn I only ordered a couple. 48.

[John Holmberg]

I think you're on the.

[Howard Holmberg]

By the way, I got a. Kyle's right. He goes, so wait a second, my phone's going to C block now. Apple's going to make the iPhone C blocker app. Yeah, they already have.

[Philip D. Cummings]

And it's probably also covering for you just in case you're, you know.

[Howard Holmberg]

It's not a bad idea. It's that drunk text thing.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Is it for the. You know, also, like, if you're FaceTiming at all.

[Howard Holmberg]

Well, that's like, when people are using it.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Well, I'm saying. Yeah, like when they do the office.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, like a zoom. Where you haven't. Yeah, the zoom call.

[John Holmberg]

I don't think you can face it.

[Howard Holmberg]

Would it warn you on that? I don't know. But like you're saying you're jerking off at an office meeting.

[Philip D. Cummings]

The guy's doing it, doesn't realize he's still on the oris. You know, people are getting busted on. We've had that.

[John Holmberg]

Where they're naked or whatever.

[Howard Holmberg]

Yeah, no phone's stopping you from Being that dumb. If you're jerking off and you're still signed up for your Zoom meeting and you don't notice the other squares and they're staring at you, it's just supposed.

[Philip D. Cummings]

To be my head.

[Howard Holmberg]

What are you jerking off for? I couldn't help it. I know that people jerk off during meetings and stuff, but if you get caught doing that, it's not your phone's fault for not warning. Remember they had that app there for a minute that said, are you sure? With the drunk text, anything that came after 1:30, it knows where you are.

[John Holmberg]

So if now you can edit.

[Howard Holmberg]

Huh? Oh, yeah. You can also delete it and hope they didn't see it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I didn't know.

[Howard Holmberg]

There's a. There's a thing that says undo undo text, but it tells the person that you unsent something.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it does?

[Howard Holmberg]

Yeah. Because I did that with Frank yesterday. I was texting my buddy Colin. I got it back and forth and accidentally sent Frank the. What I meant sent to Colin made no sense. And I just did undo text, and he goes, what did you delete? Why aren't you talking to me like he was? I'm. Like I sent the wrong thing to wrong guy. It was a picture of my dad. I'm jerking off. I can't lie to you. But if. Yeah, if you're FaceTiming.

[John Holmberg]

Wait a minute. You meant to share a picture of your dick with Colin?

[Philip D. Cummings]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Howard Holmberg]

We just didn't give it to Frank. Yeah, Colin was asking about if it.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Was talking about Woodpeckers again.

[Howard Holmberg]

Well, I needed to see if it was infected. No punning. I'm done with the puns. It's a real domestic.

[Philip D. Cummings]

There's a new study out of the Ohio State university that shows 9% of young adult workers in their 30s will.

[Howard Holmberg]

Be raped at Ohio State University.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Use alcohol, marijuana, or harder drugs like cocaine while on the job.

[John Holmberg]

Push down all the rapes.

[Howard Holmberg]

That's right. Then they have Ohio State have something to blame all their rapes on.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Say 6% it's alcohol. 3% marijuana. 1% are taking cocaine or other hard drugs.

[Howard Holmberg]

I watched the Scarlet and Gray scrimmage the other day. Brady and I heard the crowd go, oh, wait, watch the documentary. They should burn the school down.

[John Holmberg]

Don't watch the documentary.

[Howard Holmberg]

No, watch it. They should burn the school down. The guy I know, Jeff, he's a big Ohio State guy. And I said, have you seen the documentary? We were having lunch at Rosie's last week.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Yeah.

[Howard Holmberg]

And we're sitting at the bar and he said, no, I haven't. He goes, but I've heard friends talk about it. And he goes, they're Ohio State fans. He goes, I'm not like them. Like, what do you mean? He goes, I can't defend it. And I'm like, oh, if you're a real Ohio State fan, that's how they're going to determine whether or not you're a true blue, scarlet and gray or not. And then sure enough, as we're there, some big fat guy walks in and he's wearing an Ohio State T shirt. And he sits at the other end of the bar. Like, look at him. It's Tuesday at 11 o' clock in the afternoon in his Ohio State gear, just guzzling beers. We're at least on vacation. And he started laughing and he gives him an oh. And the guy goes, oh, like, yeah, he's into. He's defending rape. That's who you're getting in bed with. Oh, that documentary is an eye opener on the morning sickness. We ratiate upd Holmberg's morning sickness.

[Philip D. Cummings]

There's a Detroit cop that got arrested, stole 600 bucks from Percy, pulled over, didn't know his body cam was on.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oops.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Removed her from the car. I need to step outside the car while I searched the car.

[Howard Holmberg]

And it showed him.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Lift up the purse.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, so that's when we need the cameras to be C block.

[Philip D. Cummings]

And that's what the, the chief was basically saying. This is a good reason why we have the cameras.

[Howard Holmberg]

Protects everybody. That's why I like when OP Live goes to a thing and people hold up their phones. I'm filming all this. And the guys are like, so am I. I want your badge number. And he gives it to him. Like, here, take a picture of it. I like, I'm filming all of this. My badge number is on the screen. I'm gonna show this to your superiors. They watch everything I do. What are you talking about?

[Philip D. Cummings]

46 year old Jesse Lawrence Hale was recently treated at a hospital in Logan, Utah for an undisclosed ailment. And he left his phone behind. It was bad news for Jesse because as soon as the hospital workers found it, they called the cops. Turned out his phone was loaded with underage porn. Wouldn't have known it because the phone was locked, but he made one of the images his wallpaper.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh my God.

[Philip D. Cummings]

They saw it on the lock screen. Reported it last. Reported him last Thursday. He got arrested. Walked into the police station on Monday and asked about the phone. He claimed someone had sent him the photo.

[Howard Holmberg]

Right.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Said he should have deleted it. But they also said it would be nice to just pay a fine or take a class instead of doing jail time.

[Howard Holmberg]

Can I take a class to get out of this? Yeah.

[Philip D. Cummings]

But they got a warrant to search his phone and found 20 illegal photos on it. At that point, he asked them to just not tell his mom.

[Howard Holmberg]

So hold on.

[Philip D. Cummings]

46 years old?

[Howard Holmberg]

Yeah. Don't tell my mommy. So in this same report, my phone knows to tell me, hey, you're jerking off, and that might be a problem. But it can't tell me that's child porn, so probably not make that your screensaver. But it'll let me know you might be doing some sensitive stuff here on your FaceTime. You sure about this? But it takes four steps to use as wallpaper set as both. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm gonna make it black and white. It's gonna be artistic.

[John Holmberg]

It's my favorite one. I have to see it all the time.

[Howard Holmberg]

It's ridiculous.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Finally, the. The Tropical Fruit.com ranked the 10 best cereals of all time.

[Howard Holmberg]

Those are the people that I would have asked. So. Yeah, go ahead.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Howard Holmberg]

What are the tropical fruit people? It's gonna be Froot Loops.

[John Holmberg]

Has to be.

[Howard Holmberg]

They love tropical fruit. That's like, the only thing they're gonna.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Fruit Loops is number nine.

[Howard Holmberg]

I don't understand how the tropical fruit people can be so bougie.

[John Holmberg]

Is Apple Jacks in there?

[Howard Holmberg]

Oops. All Berries.

[Philip D. Cummings]

You got number 10, Frosted Flakes. Number nine, Fruit Loops. Number eight, Lucky Charms.

[John Holmberg]

Do you like the All Berries?

[Howard Holmberg]

No. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

No one does.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Number seven, Wheaties.

[Howard Holmberg]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Is this best selling?

[Philip D. Cummings]

Number six, Cap' N Crunch. Crunch Berries. Number five, Honeycomb. Number four, Cinnamon Life. Number three, Fruity Pebbles.

[Howard Holmberg]

Here we go.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Number two, Cocoa Krispies. Number one, Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[Howard Holmberg]

It's good. All right. That's not a bad list. I don't like the berry one, but I figured the fruit people would be a little fruitier. Hey, I did. Not in a gay way. Although if you're part of the fruit conglomerate and you run around with that car. Tropical fruit.com Time with tropical fruit dot com. Oh, from the Caribbean.

[John Holmberg]

Deceptive.

[Howard Holmberg]

You're one of the kids from St. John's why do you say that? I thought you said you were a tropical fruit. I'm sorry. I misunderstood.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Tricks not on the list.

[Howard Holmberg]

Tricks.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Golden Grahams.

[John Holmberg]

Golden Grams.

[Howard Holmberg]

Golden Graham's very good. But between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Golden Grams.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Yeah.

[Howard Holmberg]

You're going with.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Someone also mentioned.

[Howard Holmberg]

With the ctc.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Honey Bunches of Oats. Of oats. Yeah.

[Howard Holmberg]

No. Or the honey Cheerios.

[Philip D. Cummings]

No, they were saying that one. Honey.

[Howard Holmberg]

When you say someone, who are you talking about on the list? You've had this discussion with other people.

[Philip D. Cummings]

And there were people.

[Howard Holmberg]

There were people looking at his phone. I'm like, are you getting immediate response to this through your group, Tropical fruit dot com?

[Megan Holmberg]

Go there a lot.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Someone else was pissed that Grape Nuts wasn't on there.

[Howard Holmberg]

I go there a lot to see if the enemy is up to anything. I don't like those tropical fruit.comers. only worse than that is rolling veg. Don't Google that.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Got a couple of pretty videos.

[John Holmberg]

Pretty.

[Howard Holmberg]

Accidentally stumbled upon that. Rolling vegetables. Disgusting. Let's take a.

[Megan Holmberg]

What?

[Howard Holmberg]

Why are they all limping? What's wrong with them? That one can barely talk.

[John Holmberg]

Where's the vet?

[Howard Holmberg]

See what vegetables do to you. That's it. All right.

[Philip D. Cummings]

You'll like this one. This is a tough one. On the back. We're in Saudi Arabia pulling under a bridge. This guy doesn't make the call.

[Howard Holmberg]

He didn't lean. Oh, he's down into the. He's in the back of a truck. And they're trying. It's way too high. And they got a duck to go under this little overpass. And the one guy doesn't do it. Just breaks his spine. Oh, yeah, it just shatters us. It hits him in the shoulder square and there's crumbles his spine. Neck is broken. Spine is broken. I like the somber Middle Eastern music they use for that. I didn't know they had love songs in Afghanistan.

[John Holmberg]

Just two months ago in May.

[Howard Holmberg]

Way to go. So he's back to work. Yeah.

[Philip D. Cummings]

I've been holding on this one waiting.

[Howard Holmberg]

To see if he's all right or not. All right.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Weightlifting at Michigan State. Little backyard leg day.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, why Michigan State?

[Howard Holmberg]

The guy's got a Michigan State shirt on. All right, he's doing a little squat. Now it's on his back. Oh, my God. It knocks him down. Now it's on his neck. His spotter does nothing. It has no end. Oh, my God. It smashes his head with it. And the spotter does nothing.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Spotters need a little work.

[Howard Holmberg]

He just grabbed his waist while the weight was crushing his head. Tried to pull him out from under. They might have been overdoing it.

[Philip D. Cummings]

All right, last one's the guy hot dogging with his shotgun.

[Howard Holmberg]

He's walking around spinning or something. Oh, he dropped it and it just blew his pants off in sleeves. I've never seen anything like that. So Lucky that's how badass that neighborhood is. Listen to the reaction. Nobody moved. They laughed. There's children. Guy drops a shotgun.

[John Holmberg]

Plus, it's like a border checkpoint, isn't it?

[Howard Holmberg]

Drops a shotgun, blows his own pants off. The local children are amused. You know what?

[Philip D. Cummings]

I kept listening to that. I'm wondering if they threw that in there.

[Howard Holmberg]

Let no you, Gilbert. You've made nothing but babies. Let me hear it one more time. Gun goes off, pants come down. Local kids are loving it. That is awesome. Meanwhile, I gotta sit and listen to the police chief feign worry that a girl got her hair pulled at the in n out in Gilbert. Cause they won't leave it off the news every time something stupid happens to one of their babies. Teen violence is on the rise. These kids are laughing at a shotgun blast where no one got hurt. They didn't even call the police. Babies. I like that one a lot. I'm kind of glad Brett's not here.

[Philip D. Cummings]

It's a good thing.

[Howard Holmberg]

We'll check in with Brett in a little bit. He's over at Albertsons. He's doing good things. Operation hydration is flying along this summer. We were worried when we came up with the idea for getting a million bottles to the Phoenix rescue mission, but, man, oh, man. Six pallets yesterday, four more today. I don't even know how many bottles 10 pallets is. But we've gotten. That's probably. We're probably well past 20 or 30.

[John Holmberg]

I think the first pickup from the mission when we first started, it was. Was 10 pallets total.

[Howard Holmberg]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

When they had the first one. Yeah, yeah, that was. First one way back in.

[Howard Holmberg]

All right, so we're. It's strong. Like, what we're doing is strong. And that's just the stuff in the lobby, let alone the trucks that have dropped off on their own. All right, Operation hydration this morning. And Brett's been getting crushed, which is great. Carefree highway and the i17. You got a company that wants to help out. We love that. If you just want to be an individual dropping a couple of cases off, everything goes to the same place, and it's an awesome deal. We'll talk to Brett next. There goes your Brady report on the morning sickness. Man United update. Holmberg's morning sickness. Brett is out there this morning. He is hanging out for Operation hydration. He's on Carefree highway in the I17 at the Albertsons. Had a huge morning. We have people dropping stuff off right now here at the station. Brett, these guys have dropped off 16 cases of water they just came by and dropped. Oh, man, we're getting killed today. This is great. How's it going out there where you are?

[Brett Vesely]

We're crushing it up here. A lot of people, like, a lot of people just. Just dropping off some envelopes and stuff because, you know, I gotta get to work and I gotta go fight that 17. Yeah, but like I said, I mean, we. We got crushed with the four pallets coming by earlier. Everybody's dropping off cash, so, you know, it was worth me fighting that west side I17 traffic to get up here.

[Howard Holmberg]

Made it all worth it. That's right. You know how many sheds with captured ladies you passed to get to this? Albertsons?

[Brett Vesely]

Doing what I can, buddy.

[Howard Holmberg]

Right. Brett, you're a good man. You didn't even. You didn't even stop for the screaming like. Like everyone else in the West Valley as you drove past another she, a. A hostage in it. It's the West Valley, like a day.

[Brett Vesely]

That ends in wide.

[Howard Holmberg]

That's exactly right. And you knew it. And you went all the way out there, and look at the good it's doing. If philanthropic needs have been met and you're doing great. You still got some bull beaten Pantera tickets. You're gonna be out there for another 30 minutes or so. Truck's probably full.

[Brett Vesely]

It's getting there. I gotta. I still gotta go back in and buy some more. More water because like I said, everybody's just dropping off money. The Collins tree trimming dropped off a bunch of water for us, so taking care of him and, you know, we got to thank, obviously, our friends over at Learning Row Amco, and of course, Safeway and Albertsons because they're helping us out a lot with this. So it's a Carefree highway, and I17, come on up and drop off some water with us.

[Howard Holmberg]

There you go. Well done, my friend. Brett's out there till about nine, so get on out there, help him out. And he's doing a nice thing in very hot weather for good people. Phoenix Rescue mission gets it all. Thanks, Brett. Yep.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, we'll see you.

[Howard Holmberg]

And thanks to you guys as well. That's very nice that we can still be the only radio station in town that says, hey, can you help us out? And it works. You know, we had a thing the other day. One of the stations that won't be mentioned that they tried to do something, and I thought it was wonderful. And they had like 20, 20 people. Gotta have active trying. You gotta have an active audience. You have an. Hey, I don't. I don't look, if you pushing for something, every little bit counts. But you want things to get bigger. This is an awesome thing. We have an active audience who participates with us. And I couldn't thank enough for them. They're good people.

[Philip D. Cummings]

30,000 bottle day so far. Pacing.

[Howard Holmberg]

Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Is that what you did the math on the palace?

[Philip D. Cummings]

If there were 16 pallets and then some.

[Howard Holmberg]

Oh, we know 16. We had six pallets yesterday, four today. And then 16 cases. That's what you're. Oh yeah. 16 cases, 16 pallets.

[Philip D. Cummings]

No. So we're good Lord, if somebody's still out 10,000.

[Howard Holmberg]

We had a lot of bottles on our way to a million. And then you start to realize how hard that's gonna be. Might overshot a little bit. But you know what? Every bottle matters and that's what's cool. Afion Crockett is here. This dude is brilliant. Every time a fion's here, we. I never make him do his impressions and he's one of the best impressionists out there. But we always get off on a topic.

[Philip D. Cummings]

Today's the day.

[Howard Holmberg]

Today I'm focusing on a fiance every time. Like last time, like, oh, you do a great at the end. I know. I know him. But we got off on all sorts of stupid stuff last time he was here and silly because P. Diddy's thing had just started. So we were talking about he was at a white party, lost track of time. Next thing you know, he's done one or two we gotta revisit. Oh now and see. And then we're gonna miss it again because you're really not getting is Afion's ability to do some. It's the best Chris Rock I've ever heard. And Chris Rock impressions aren't like super hard. As someone who does it, he is. It's the best I've ever heard. It's so good. Really good. Nathan Crockett's coming in here next. It's 98. Hey, it's not weird.

[Philip D. Cummings]
