Sickness.
John Holmberg
You'Ve been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Thursday 5. 45. Good morning. Sick. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's Big Dick Toledo. We're off and running, and I'm already scrambling for. I've got several emails out of nowhere, people telling me that Sophie Cunningham and Jimmy Fallon got into a fight. I'm trying to find it like they got into a real fight on the show. She tweeted out. I found this as a Don't invite me on your show to speak and then expect me to smile through the censorship. You kind of agreed to the parameters of it, didn't you, Spicy? I mean, I'm all on spicy's side. I, I, I have no problem whatever Jimmy Fallon. If it was bashing the wnba, he was wrong. Jimmy Fallon. You don't talk to Sophie Cunningham like that, Will. We'll get more on that as the story develops. But finally, Jimmy Fallon's show is interesting.
Dale Hellestray
They're trying everything.
John Holmberg
Yeah, and it wouldn't surprise me if this was all staged, that Sophie is now known as an enforcer. Where? Here. She never stood up for any of the lesbians on her team. And then she went to Indiana and stood up for Caitlin Clark once, and suddenly she's got a title of enforcer. She was just a hot chick while she was here, right?
Dale Hellestray
Enforcer?
John Holmberg
Oh, I guess, yeah. I mean, she's not the toughest girl in the WNBA on the map. That's all it took. 600,000. Excuse me, 600,000 different people found Sophie Cunningham on social media. She added 600,000 people. Boom. Just because she wrestled a girl poorly for. So for Caitlyn Clark. And here she had. Diana Tausi never defended her once. She had, I don't know, the rest of the team, but she had other lesbians she could have fought for here. Never once did it. And just. That's the key. And it goes back to what we were talking about yesterday with Gilbert. Blonde chicks with long hair wrestling each other is newsworthy and it's fun to watch no matter what.
Dale Hellestray
So wonder how many followers any of those girls picked up.
John Holmberg
Oh, they got a few. They got a couple, by the way. Also, breaking news. Hey, Gilbert. Moms listen to this and then shush about how tough your town is. Shush it. Shush. Shush. Listen. I know. Shush. A baby in Maryvale got shot yesterday. It's on the news for, like, half a second. Did you hear what I just said? I'm going to repeat, a baby was shot by a gun in Maryvale yesterday. The story's about two lines long, and it says, we'll figure it out. When we figure it out. You're not going to hear another thing about it. And guess what? The baby lived. The parents aren't freaking out on the news. They're not losing it, having town hall meetings. I'm going to say it one more time. This phrase, kind of important. A baby in Maryvale was shot. And they're kind of like, all right, I got to go to work. Two blonde girls at the In N Out get into a fight at Gilbert, and they want to have the police chief on tv.
Dale Hellestray
He's got the rest of the story. A baby going to work got shot on his way to work.
John Holmberg
You may tell you this. The baby who was taking care of his kids in Maryvale doing nothing more, also shot back and killed the guy who shot at him first. The other baby. That's right. A baby was shot in Maryvale. I didn't see the Maryvale. Does Maryvale have a police chief? They're probably.
Dale Hellestray
It rotates.
John Holmberg
Your baby got shot? Yeah. Yeah. You gonna do something about that? Did you see the dude what done it?
Brady Bogan
No.
John Holmberg
What'd you expect me to do, man? Well, look, you got a pack of smokes. You were the one watching the baby. How am I. I wasn't even here. Are you his father? Excuse me, sir, are you his father? Answer the question. I know you hate this question, but are you the father? And, yeah, Maryvale had a baby. Get shot?
Dale Hellestray
Yes, I am. I was at work. Well, then that's okay.
John Holmberg
Those are. I don't think that's accurate. I don't think you're a representation. I don't think your representation of Yes, I am the father and I was at work is accurate in Maryvale. I don't think those two phrases just I am the father and I was going to work early in the morning. I don't think that's a Maryvale thing. Again, I repeat, a baby was shot in Maryvale. I didn't see the police chief. It wasn't an eight minute story. They couldn't wait to get out of the story on Channel three.
Dale Hellestray
No video.
John Holmberg
No, there's no video there.
Dale Hellestray
Babies filming.
John Holmberg
They're not rats putting up ring cams over there. They got them all over Gilbert. That's why we got to see the story. This is the whole story. Police responded to a baby being shot at 11:30 on 83rd Avenue in Camelback. The lieutenant told Arizona's family that 30pm p.m. yeah. A police lieutenant at the scene told Arizona. Yeah, they're not up that. What are you talking. Maryville is not up that. Are you familiar with what we're doing here? Says a police lieutenant at the scene told the Arizona family the baby was shot. First responders took the baby to the hospital. Detectives have responded to investigate. There's no information leading to the shooting. Yeah, the baby. There's information that would have led to the shooting. Baby side eyed me. So take that, Gilbert and all your. Get the Gilbert police chief on what's going at KTR yesterday. Full segments. The Gilbert teens are at it. A baby was shot in Maryvale. We're talking about Gilbert teens getting into fist fights over guerrilla style burgers. Stop it. I don't want my town to turn into Maryvale. That's why we report this stuff. No, I see crying moms with blurred faces because they're afraid of retaliation. Meanwhile, babies are taking bullets at 11:30 at night.
Dale Hellestray
The baby doing outside the Gilbert moms are going to strike back at In N Out. Maybe your menu is too aggress.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Animal style.
John Holmberg
Animal style. They don't like that.
Dale Hellestray
Promoting violence.
John Holmberg
All right, Brady, you gotta move. You gotta get out of that. I want you to move to Maryville. Pretty much. We're starting to hate all people who are like, I live in Gilbert. I already kind of have. You're like the last one. You're the last one. When you say I live in Gilbert. I'm like, yeah, I like him, but he's Doing his best. He's doing his best. People come from Maryville. I'm like, at least you're real. I understand you've had. You've been through some life experiences I can relate to. Not the baby getting shot 11:30 at night. I don't want to make fun of a baby getting shot at 11:30 at night, but it's kind of awkward. What was he doing up? You know, he had a deal to make. I don't understand anything anymore. But. So yeah, keep that in mind while you're watching blonde 15 year olds pull each other's hair in the Gilbert parking lot. Next thing you know, I got to listen to gatos and Bruce St. James. Well, it's a problem. It's a problem. Come on. No, were they fighting over the last. Last bottle of Mac foundation at Sephora or something? I mean, come on. I have no idea.
Dale Hellestray
Someone finished the other one's fries.
John Holmberg
Somebody had their. Her nails were pointier than the other ones because they do those pointy nails now. I don't know. I have no idea. But it is annoying. And no, Brady, I don't think hot chicks fight each other over fries. You're really self and his world idea. You are really hyper folk. You must be starving this morning.
Brady Bogan
That's.
John Holmberg
Anyway, baby shot in Maryville. News to come? I doubt it. They might bring it up a couple more times, but unless they've got. Unless the baby had weaves of long blonde hair and its hair whipped in the wind, the news isn't going to cover. But they sure will watch a couple of 15 year old blondes tugging on each other's hair in a parking lot. And then the poor police chief of Maryvale. Hey, we're calling to talk to you about the baby being shot. And his answer would be which one? And then Maryvale hangs up because they're smarter. Never thought I'd say it. Maryvale greater than guilty. At least the citizens, the residents, they're more fun. You know, it's better out there. They're not sitting there shaking all the time. Their kids are gonna kill em. But it's better barbecue out there too, Brady. Oh, hey, that's probably true. Yeah, way to play his game, Brett. That spits. I guarantee you that's true. I guarantee you that's a fact. That blonde. What are they with the bland sauce that they use out there and spices? Well, couldn't possibly. I have something called silent ref, so. Whatever. I don't want to go to bed and have my heart hurt.
Dale Hellestray
Bring Maryville out to Gilbert. You have to be gone by 5pm.
John Holmberg
You know, be gone when the sun goes down. Yeah. So it's breakfast. They're gonna want him to bring breakfast. Well, that's not gonna happen. Maryvale breakfast. Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Babies work later.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, the babies are out cleaning up the kitchen. 11:30. That lazy ass baby doing in bed. It's only 11:30. Maryvale babies go to bed late. Yeah. I gotta find this thing about Sophie. So keep that in mind when you're wandering around Gilbert this morning telling each other with, you know, last night's Postino's wine breath, that you're just afraid for your child's safety. A baby was shot in Mary. We don't live in Maryvale. We don't. You can't be empathetic towards your kids. Only if you're gonna make some sort of stance about violence with kids. You have to be. You have to be all of it or none of it. Just my kids matter. It's silly. There's another dude on the news last night. I watched and I didn't get a good vibe off the H. I don't like hoas at all. I've made my stance on hoas in a huge way. I hate them. I will never live in it. You don't have your new one. I moved out. You got one. And you've had your issues with HOA stuff.
Dale Hellestray
Yep.
John Holmberg
I hate HOAs. I think they're. It's the biggest blackmail mob scam that for some reason people are into. That I don't get. Just go knock on your neighbor's door and tell them not to park in the road. Could you not do that? You might get into an argument with him. And he has a right to go. I'm going to park in the road. And you have a right to go. Oh, I hate that. And then you either keep the fight alive or he'll move the car or it just is what it is. Tell him to see where it is in person. Right. Yeah. And it's cowardly. I don't like it. Yard tattle, tattle on the. On the mob bosses and they find you for nothing. And it's just a scam. But in certain cases, usually get a lot of notes. This one's. Yeah. Notes and warnings. And then, like, they will steal your life from you if you don't pay them, for God's sakes. I understand that feeling. There's a guy in Goodyear that stands outside his house and he gives out water. And he was on the news too, last night, and he was like, and the HOA is like, go inside, like. And I like that HOA that basically wanders around to the, to the neighborhood, Brady's and says, get, get in the house. It's hot outside. What are you doing giving out water. To who? There's nobody out here. The kids. And then his thing was, I give it to kids, I give it to delivery workers, I give it to couples holding hands. Like, who? What couple is out walking around in this? Nobody's out there walking around. What you're doing is expressing how insanely lonely you are. Miserable with the family that lives inside the house. And you're trying to make new friends outside that don't want you either. Get in your house. There are plenty of places that give away water. And if anybody's taking a walk in this 117, 118 degree days and they don't have any water and they need you, there's a bigger fish to fry with that HOA than there is the guy in front. You got dehydrated people wandering around on lovers walks in the middle of 118 degrees. There's no need for him to stand outside and give away water. I automatically assume two things. Pedophile, immediately. First thing in my, if I see a dude outside giving away free things in his yard and nobody asked for it. Grooming. First thing in my mind, ah, grooming. Anybody that interested in making sure that the neighborhood's kids are okay and none of them are his, he's up to something. Chris Hansen's gonna be walking out. Yeah, I don't trust that dude at all. Anybody that's like, yeah, I don't have any kids of my own. I want to make friends with yours.
Brady Bogan
Nope, nope.
John Holmberg
That's called stranger danger. And the other thing I was always.
Dale Hellestray
What are you giving out? Yeah, Mike's Hard Lemonade and cookies.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's the thing I was always told. Take nothing from people you don't know. Like, if I was a kid out there, me and Stebbings used to ride our bikes around the middle of 112 degree days in summer, going back and forth to his house and my house and doing whatever we were. There was a dude in the front yard at any given time going, kids, come here, I got some free stuff for you. You ride faster the other way. Cuz we were raised, but you're taught. Yeah, sounds like the old creepy guy from family. It is. You killed thirsty. It's hot as hell out here giving away some free water. It's not tainted. You can trust me. You don't you tell your kids immediately. The HOA is right. It's the only time I'll ever agree with an hoa. Hey, dude. Do Gooder, get back in the house. My wife's in there. I hate it in there. Rather stand in the sun, give people think I'm a pedophile. Get in the house, jackass. And lovers that are wandering around a Goodyear neighborhood holding hands in 118 degrees. That to me shouts out, abduction situation. Somebody's doing that against their will.
Dale Hellestray
You want to take an afternoon walk?
John Holmberg
No. No one wants to take a walk. Hold my hand. Don't touch me.
Dale Hellestray
He made that up.
John Holmberg
We'll start sweating. Of course he did. He's trying to be. He's trying to cover that. He's. He's grooming. He's throwing bait out there for the children. It's for the kids. Anytime a dude in your neighborhood, and nobody asked him to do it, says the phrase, it's for the kids, like he's just out there with a jump rope. I need a second. No, I'm going in. You're creepy.
Dale Hellestray
He's got the other side of it tied to a pole.
John Holmberg
I'm ready to jump. I want to watch you bounce, son. Yeah. It says the violation is a hundred dollars. The fine started. He goes. I have no idea why they're coming down on him. Another guy. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Here we are in July, the hottest day of the year, and we're still talking about water coolers and free cold water and how wrong it is. You know why we were a tougher, better generation? Is because. Well, first off, it's my generation that sucks, because this dude's probably one of mine. And we've raised the most fragile group of pussies on the planet because we took away their ability to sneak up to any house in the neighborhood, put their head under a hose spigot and get some water. That used to be pretty normal. You knew seven or eight people on your street. Usually they had a kid. You're thirsty. It's like, let's go to Begley's house and get some water. You never knocked on a door or asked the parents. You just turn their spigot on. And sometimes that would happen at your house. You'd look outside and go, oh, Stevings and Begley are getting water.
Dale Hellestray
And you never gotta wait two minutes to find.
John Holmberg
Get the cool stuff sometimes cancer hose, you know, all the toxic plastic, which.
Dale Hellestray
Is great, great taste.
John Holmberg
All of your stupid kids are Kids with water comes from a city farm. I'm thinking of plastic bottle made by Coca Cola. Oh, my God. Yeah, I can't have water out of a cat too hard.
Dale Hellestray
Why?
John Holmberg
Cats have touched my tummy with anything. How's your tummy doing anyway? You're on 15 different medications. You don't seem to let that bother the inner lining of your stomach. Stomach talon. God, I hate your children so much. Pansies. Meanwhile, I'm looking over at Maryvale where a baby is nursing its bullet wounds today. And it made it. Nobody's really going. Well, he shouldn't drink out of taps. I guarantee you they're drinking water from a fire hydrant. That's fine. They play in fire hydrants and they drink from fire. I'm fine with Mary Maryvale. You're winning. He's like Rambo. He's got his knife out and he's sewing himself back up and everything else. What are you doing there? Oh, he's selling a bullet. Good baby. He's a genius. Nice stitches. He's a goddamn genius. Look at that little baby. He going to be back to work tomorrow? I'm going to get sleep anyway. Yeah, I just. I hoas serve no purpose in my mind. But that's a good one if you're going to get any time to rat out a neighbor. The local pedophile handing out free stuff in the front yard. Nope. It isn't Halloween. It doesn't make any sense. And even in Halloween, I'm skeptical of the dude who likes it too much. You know, the childless guy that's got too much going on at his house. Come on, kids. I want to be all your friends.
Dale Hellestray
You have to walk through the house to get to the candy.
John Holmberg
I've said it a million times. Christmas time. Some people. So that single dude in your neighborhood that's sitting there dressed as Santa Claus, that's. He's getting something out of that. Your kids aren't and he is.
Dale Hellestray
Is.
John Holmberg
That's weird. But at least it makes sense seasonally. July, free water guy whose first words. It's for the children. There are no children. I don't know if you've noticed, but for the last 18 or 19 years, there are no children outside anymore. Even in when the weather's nice.
Aafion Crockett
When the.
John Holmberg
We used to have to go play basketball. You have to wait till the other guys were done to get your guys out on the court. And they're like 25 people and like 18 of them are standing outside the court waiting their turn. That doesn't happen anymore. At all. At all. Pristine nets that very rarely get used to. Hate that. You go to a basketball court you like, and then a few weeks later, they'd put chains up there, and you're like, oh, crap, this thing's gone completely ghetto. I used to like the ones that were at the real nets outside. That was outstanding. There was always a few extra dudes. Not anymore. They don't go outside anymore. So handing water out to the kids. You're handing a water out to a kid who obviously his parents do not care about him at all. Didn't even buy him an iPad to be fat and lazy inside, nobody's playing outside. And I want to meet the Gilbert or Goodyear lovers. It's perfect time for a walk, don't you think? Yeah. It's the last thing you want to do with your girlfriend if you love her is give her swamp box in the middle of the day and try to be romantic about it. It's disgusting. You got to go home and clean her out. It's like a Grease 2 dudes or something. When you said the Goodyear lovers, I was like, swamp box. What are you talking about? Well, they get swamp box, too. It's just different. Different box. It's like a truffle butter thing. They got like a. You still don't want to go walking around and create friction in that area. Yeah. 118 degrees. You're gonna froth down there. You homosexuals would like some free water.
Brady Bogan
It's over here.
John Holmberg
Yeah. We'll pour down our cracks. That's fantastic. Who are you? Just a guy handed out water to lovers walking around in 120de. Totally normal. Yeah. And I know people are like, wasn't it a better time? And you could trust your neighbors? No. I watch a lot of murder shows. You can never trust your neighbors. Back in the day, when they said, trust your neighbors, your parents told you not to never, ever, ever talk to those weirdos. Like, you can trust them to a certain degree. There was always that one dude on the street that you're like, don't talk to him. He was the one doing weird stuff, like had a lawn chair in his front yard watching you play, you know, wiffle ball or something. Like, why is the childless guy reffing the game? We didn't ask him to come away. You guys need an umpire? No, thanks, Mr. Hawk. Go back inside. I'll just sit here and watch. I love watching the children play. That one time my mom gave me away in San Diego to that guy whose kid died. She felt bad for him and he knocked on the door. Never met him. Knocked on the door. Can I take you sounding away watching adventure. I lost my boy a couple years ago. He's about your son's age. Sure. Like what the hell. Next thing you know I'm in the back of a an opal going to the ocean with some strange guy with a handlebar mustache. Yeah, he didn't rape me. Hi, I'm Richard Karn and you may have seen me on TV talking about the world's number one expandable garden hose.

Brady Bogan
Comberg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
I was allowed to bring a friend of equal age and I brought my buddy Tony. And we stood on the wheel watching boat. Just asking each other how come we're here. It's like his kid's dead and he just wants to look at us. Was this Mr. Carlson from a Different Strokes or what? I mean, you and Dudley were looking at the new bikes. That's exactly what it was. Trust your neighbors.
Brady Bogan
No.
John Holmberg
Live your life without a neighbor touching your butthole. That's what you're. That's all we're all trying to do. They're not all after but just, just you know. This one says be careful Junos. This email says he. Thanks. It says you might get boycotted for talking smack about Gilbert. You might have all these 40 plus ladies that try to look 25 after you again. Can you imagine them going to the news in those new high heels? They have all new shoes now. That's true. Since the Gilbert goons thing, they've got all new shoes they need to show off. So they need to get on the TV again. Those new Steve Maddens Maryvale just right now there's a dude out there putting putty in the hole in his house that got to his baby patch. Head up. Doug Hoffman sees this. He ain't gonna buy this thing around.
Dale Hellestray
The Golden Goose, right?
John Holmberg
Even in your neighborhood if there was a guy, if you. You do it sometimes. But you've gotten a reputation where you're at least not gonna Rape any. You stand outside and give people sauces, they'd walk.
Dale Hellestray
I'm just saying, when you talk about it, it's just nice to.
John Holmberg
To.
Dale Hellestray
You know, if something were. If we weren't home. Growing up with Kirby or whatever, felt pretty comfortable that she could go across the street or next door.
John Holmberg
Everybody's always had people they knew because.
Dale Hellestray
I. I think about that. That man, if it turned and it becomes an absolute nightmare, it's the worst. You're living in a neighborhood, and all sudden, like, what this guy's running into the guy giving away water.
John Holmberg
But you're talking about people. You know, everybody was. Had neighbors. Like, it's okay to go to their house if we're not here. Something bad happened. I'm talking about the dude down the street when nothing bad has happened and you guys are home and he's outside his house trying to give free things to your kids, Adding, teach your kids that. That ain't normal. And the hoa, which I've never thought I'd say. Same thing I said yesterday. Two phrases I never thought I'd say. The HOA is right, and Dennis Rodman's daughter is beautiful. I never thought those words would ever fall out of my mouth.
Dale Hellestray
And we've talked about it before, but when we were growing up, the worst thing was, even though it's supposed to be a positive thing, the. The safety spot. Like, just put that up in the window.
John Holmberg
I never liked those when I was a kid.
Dale Hellestray
Lets kids know this is a safety spot.
John Holmberg
I had four or five of my own safety spots, but I always thought that that was the best ruse for a child abductor. And I was a child when I realized that, I'm like, well, put this up here. Who puts the E in their window? Or whatever letter they give those? Oh, yeah. The. Ready. I never wanted to go to that person's house.
Dale Hellestray
That was the hunter orange.
John Holmberg
Ours were red. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We had red E's. And you put them in the windows. And what was the E for? Emergency. Emergency. Emergency rape is what it was. The guy was inside just waiting for one. That was the last place that was. And even as a kid.
Dale Hellestray
Erection.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Got a strong one. Big red one sticking out like lipstick. I even as a child, looked at that and said, if I was a guy who wanted to hurt kids, I would. I would get one of those. You know, they don't wander around dragging their claws on the ground. They're normal people that fool society and become E houses. No way. You never went to your teacher's House. That was weird. And you never went in one of those E houses you don't take free stuff from. Nick Hoa is right. That's your teacher. As Brittany Zamora. Well, that was different. That was when you were of age, if the hormones were pumping and Brittany was wise enough never to take them home. Home. I don't know how she got away with boning that kid where she boned him, which was like in the class.
Dale Hellestray
E in the hood of her car.
John Holmberg
Yeah, there was another one of those the other day where the husband, poor bastard. But he, to his credit, he got. He told on her right away. And I don't know, I. I keep that dead quiet, but he was going through his wife's phone like she's up to something. And the last thing he expected to find was text from one of her students in sixth grade. Sixth grade again. 12, 13 years old. And immediately called the kids. Parents. I called the kid, you know, I'll show. Who's this bastard saying, I love you, darling. I can't wait to be. Oh, cool. This son of a. And who's this Talon guy? Hello. Was your father around? Something's going. No, it's my phone. What the hell in that? Are you Carlos? Yeah, what's it to you? You son of a. Are you having sex with my wife? Wife, probably. Let's get. Oh, my God. And he called. That kid's found. His kid's parents called immediately. And the parents were like. We saw some text messages we were concerned about too. We didn't know who it was for. Thought it was one of his little girlfriends. It was, but it was also his teacher. And I don't know if I'd tell on that. We've talked about this a million times. But Megan starts boning a 12 year old, I'm staying put. I'm not. Nobody's gonna know. I'm never talking about it. I might even give that K some free water. On his way out the door, I'm like, good for you. Nice job, clown. For a 12 year old. I'm not doing it. I'm not telling anyone.
Dale Hellestray
Looking away.
John Holmberg
Yeah, man. Cuz having been in this business long enough, I know. Names are released and you start. You see that on the news tonight. Megan Holberg caught with a 12 year old boy. I'm like, oh, boy, that's coming back on me. She's already in trouble. Now I got to live my life. I gotta. I'm expected to go back out there and be normal now. It's impossible. Especially because my name is Mostly consonants. It's not common. People will remember that. Two things I'll get from that moment. Are you ready? You're related to that guy that plays for the Maple Leafs? No. Why do I know your name? You don't. Wait a minute. Home that you're the dude whose wife had that? Yes. All right. Just give me my Chipotle and kill. I gotta go. Never talking about it again. Ever. Having slumber parties at the house the kids allowed in. He bring his friends over. I'll play video games with him. Well, he gets it done, no one will know. She can marry him. I'll be the best man. I'll never talk about it ever in my life. I need to talk to you. I was giving out free water the other day and One of the 12 year olds walked by and I noticed the bulge. Oh my God. What's happening? Happening. One thing led to another.
Dale Hellestray
I appreciate you being honest.
John Holmberg
I just would like you to not turn me into that. I'm never talking about this again. When this conversation over, it dies. You're so much bigger than my husband. Ah, Christ, I'm not. And I don't want to be mean, but if we ever have sex again, you're not gonna feel anything. This kid has opened me like a Holland tunnel. What? You're gonna have to just go back door and tell do it a few times before I let him do it. Cuz once he's back then there it's like those change purses with the elastic. He's ruined it. It's. I'm wide open. Yeah, I am forever. Forever. Forever. Forever. Remember Lou Diamond Phillips? When his wife left him for Melissa ATH and lesbian things started. What do you remember? You remember Lou Diamond Phillips for Labomba? Or that first that always comes up young guns. Yeah. He had movies, he had a career. Lou Diamond Phillips was a big deal. Wife starts boning Melissa Etheridge and he's like oh, there's Lou Diamond Phillips. Remember him? He was in Labamba. And also his wife. Immediately the next story is the. The personal tragedy he had nothing to do with. It's the bridge building rules. Anyway, 12 year old do you leave? You stick that out.
Dale Hellestray
I. It'd be tough to stick around.
John Holmberg
Why? You've been married long enough. You're probably not having sex anyway. What's the big deal?
Dale Hellestray
You found someone else, obviously.
John Holmberg
Yeah, and she wasn't using you anyway. So life is the same now. There's just a 12 year old every once in a while that comes by, introduces you to the new gonna Hit. And then he leaves. And you're good. Everything's fine.
Dale Hellestray
It would just. I think the tough, you know, if I stuck it out, it'd be the worst. Enough for the video games. I'm trying to get to bed.
John Holmberg
That's true. You go to bed at like 8. And then he'd turn to his new girlfriend. Your grandfather's mad a lot. That's my husband, Toby. Is he gonna use our bed? Half of it. Yuck. You hear him splashing around in the pool at night together? He's got his water wings on, never saying a word. And neither should you, Brady, because I will. It would be. Oh, could you imagine?
Dale Hellestray
You just know.
John Holmberg
You go over the house, oh, and.
Dale Hellestray
There'S a couple of kids playing in the pool.
John Holmberg
Did you. Did you adopt that? What is this? Don't ask. It's Ronnie's new side piece. The first maybe. I don't know. What would be like a month? Brett, maybe. Poor Brady. Poor Brady. We'd be quiet about it, and then one of us would bounce a joke back and forth in the hallway and we'd start laughing. It'd start like the whole Thriller thing started, just kind of like real quiet. And then all of a sudden, boom. All. Until we're like, look, we got to talk to you. We've had some real good jokes about how your. Your wife is boning that 12 year old. And then, I mean, Toledo's a. He's a bastard in a basket. And we've had great fun with that. At first it was a little like, ooh, maybe he's sensitive. And then once you realize we don't carry sensitive. This is something we. Yeah, that's why you never talk about it ever. So just know they're out there and they're trying to hand you free water. Hoa. Good job. That's what I'll tell you right now. That's the best thing I can say today. The HOA did a nice job. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 585-9800. That's the phone number. You give it to us good and strong, and we'll scream it together. It's 98. KUPD. Wake up.
Aafion Crockett
Hey, it's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually.
John Holmberg
No membership fee. I have heard enough of this for you.
Aafion Crockett
PD Converg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. Evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Navigate to the year of P. Morning sickness Gotta get up to here and make you laugh until you peel they might make you come undone. Make your cockrise with the sun. We'd like to welcome you to this morning show with John Grant and Brady and Big Dick Toledo. They call us Hob not worth miles to nowhere. They speak on controversy. Who's bobbing Johnny Snob that they think dua leap was great for the faint of heart? They're not Homer's morning sickness. You gotta get up to hear it. Makes em laugh, makes em cry. In all seriousness and fun. Make your cock rise with a son.
Brady Bogan
We'd like to introduce our main host.
John Holmberg
They say he looks like Squidward with that big hu. But that's so prereq. They own the mornings airing over 20 years like a blue coat they're still going. Brady comes in shorts to report the news. He knows. But you can't eat at Porkopolis because it closed. Homebridge morning sickness. You gotta get up to hear it. Make you laugh until you spiel wipe you off when they are done make your cockride with the sun. Homeburg's morning sickness. You gotta tune in. I just really need the Trump administration to succeed and to save this country.
Brady Bogan
And they're doing so much good.
John Holmberg
And then for them to do something like this, terror my guts out. So I'm watching Alex Jones cry again, which is hilarious whenever a man cries like that. But here's the dangerous thing. He's got a camera set up on his steering wheel like it's aimed right at him driving. I, I don't, I don't like this at all.
Dale Hellestray
Is this so he, you know, can multitask?
John Holmberg
I don't know what it is.
Dale Hellestray
It's show from the car.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Why, why not just pull over and like, you know, have a moment in your. Probably right now. My mouth is watering right now. He's gonna throw up because he doesn't like what happened with the, with the Epstein files. Because I have integrity. What? And.
Brady Bogan
You know, I just really need.
John Holmberg
The Trump administration to succeed and to save this country and do so much good. Dude needs to stop, like, stop driving and doing videos. That's the first. If you want to help save young people, don't drive around doing videos all day. You're going to run one over eventually. I like when Alex Jones cries. I find that endlessly entertaining when a grown man starts crying over a topic like nothing's happened to me. Him, he just read some words he didn't like in a situation that made him upset that he's not really even related to. And he starts sobbing that I got.
Dale Hellestray
I was gonna cry either way because if there was stuff and it came out, oh, no, the Epstein.
John Holmberg
But again, if it was the other way, sure. But the tears for me are thrilling because he's not even related to it. He's just a news anchor. When news anchors cry, something has to be, like, against the entire world for me to be, like, emotional or like a dog story. But I would avoid that. Tighten up, son. Deliver the information and then go. All right, cut the cameras. And they go privately sob the way men used to. You cry in public over something, that information you don't like. Day one. Just gotta make sure that trash truck's supposed to pick up the trash on Wednesday. And I didn't get the bucket out in time. And I just. You're a lunatic. I don't trust a crying man. I don't trust a man with his emotions that out of check. If you ever sat down at, like, the restaurant with me, Brady. Never. Hear about what happened with the Trump DOJ and the Epstein files. No. What's going on? You're not. You're not gonna believe what's going on. Jesus Christ. Lock it down.
Dale Hellestray
Even that's completely different. Because that's private. Private.
John Holmberg
No, it isn't. We're in a restaurant. Lock it. I would still. I'd walk away from the table.
Dale Hellestray
I know, but it's different when. That's the thing. I mean, it's different when these guys are doing it on.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Dale Hellestray
Live.
John Holmberg
But again, if it's supposed to appeal to anyone. I believe. He's that emotional. He's unstable.
Dale Hellestray
Oh, no. Because he's.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Unstable.
John Holmberg
But imagine if I'm sitting there, I'm telling you, like, my dog died. I might get weepy. Yeah. Family member dies.
Dale Hellestray
It would be a little off putting that. This is what's.
John Holmberg
But even still, if you told me in a restaurant, you know, had a little trouble last night with the old wife. All right, lock it down. Maybe we shouldn't be out. You're not ready to be in public yet.
Dale Hellestray
You know, what if the person. If it's a friend or whatever, they can get one or two. I'm like, all right, you're not. You know, there's more stuff that's going on, obviously, that caused this.
John Holmberg
I don't give you a whole lot of grace with the crying thing if we're in public. No, no, no, no, no. Lock it down. Lock it down. My first thoughts are about me, so they're gonna think we're gay and they're gonna think I broke up with you. This is bad. This is weird. Lock it up. Just knew I talked to you about the Epstein files. I'm like, are you. Are you openly weeping? I'm gonna go to the bathroom and not come back. I'm gonna. Toledo's dad this lunch. Goodbye.
Dale Hellestray
I think you'd have. You have every right to go.
John Holmberg
Go.
Dale Hellestray
Knock it off.
John Holmberg
Like, it would be worse though. Cuz you pray if you. What if you waited until the food got there and then Brady turns and goes, you seen Wicked? Oh, no. I mean, the ending part with the witches are. Oh, Jesus Christ. Lock it up. But yeah, don't cry as a man talking about stories. If you start feeling like you're going to cry, excuse yourself and go embarrass yourself quietly in a bad bathroom. They always had to wreck that somewhere in the 80s and 90s. Real men cry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We cry about death and we cry about, like, things that have happened to us. We don't cry about everything. Lock it down. You certainly don't make videos of yourself crying. Alex Jones has a lot of reasons to cry. Like, a billion of them. But I find it funny.
Dale Hellestray
Not the past. Funerals.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Have you ever looked at being born? Have you ever looked at like, yeah, but if you're. Okay, fine. Stay still. But if we're at lunch together and you start talking about your child being born and you start crying, I'm like, this dude's an emotional lunatic. Like, we're not there anymore.
Dale Hellestray
I don't know you well enough. I know I would never do that.
John Holmberg
I know you perfectly well enough. We've known each other for years. If you did it today, I'd be like, all right, see ya.
Dale Hellestray
Exactly.
John Holmberg
Not dealing with this nut bag. The day Kirby was.
Dale Hellestray
That's how well I know you. Like.
John Holmberg
I don't think you do it.
Dale Hellestray
No.
John Holmberg
You're gonna break down too hard based on that. And if we're sitting at lunch and you start talking about your dad's funeral and start crying, I'm like, this dude's not over it yet. He's not ready to be in public. Lock it down. Lock it down. No more crying. Guys, when's the last time you were at a restaurant, you looked over and saw two dudes sitting there and one of them was sobbing, and you didn't say it was hysterical?
Dale Hellestray
Don't know if I've ever seen it.
John Holmberg
I have once, and it's hysterical. Any man crying at a table at all, even if he's with a woman. Like, oh, this poor SAP's getting dumped. Like, you don't think I've seen.
Dale Hellestray
I've seen women.
John Holmberg
Women cry all the time. They're supposed to. I'm not telling women not to cry, that they're emotionally unstable. They're built that way. They are emotionally incapable of controlling themselves. We are built a different way. In public, a man starts crying. Hilarious. If you don't know him.
Dale Hellestray
Drunken cry.
John Holmberg
Oh, the drunken cries the best. Because you know what? You lose control of your emotions. You are not a normal human being. You've been manipulated emotionally. It's the best. I understand a tear rolling down a guy's eye, but the second you do, you're done. Go. Go hide somewhere. I did it at that Mr. Rogers documentary, but I was in a movie theater, and you know what I did? I realized that when I did that, I'm like, oh, Jesus, it's on. Like, this is bad. I didn't. I wasn't proud of myself. The next. Yeah, but it's a movie. They're designed to get you emotionally. My next move for the next four or five minutes. Lock this down. Don't make that noise again.
Dale Hellestray
It's a struggle.
John Holmberg
It's a dark room. It's a dark room. It's okay. Nobody can pinpoint it. And everybody else is probably crying too. Lock it down. Don't leave this thing. It's still emotional again in the wheelchair. Like, lose, lose, lose all the emotion. Let's get it back together. But I knew even then when it was okay to cry. It was designed to do that. Movies with dogs that die. I'm gonna cry, but I'm not gonna talk about it. A couple days later and still open, like, break down. Alex Jones has a problem. Emot. I believe they call that unbalanced. It's a chemically imbalanced man. I read some news today. Oh, check. Check, please. Let's get you out of here.
Dale Hellestray
When? I think it was two days ago when I talked about the Epstein thing.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
The government announced and everything. There was a comment about Alex Jones, like, I didn't even know he was.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he still does stuff. He still evidently does it. Well, he's driving. He might be for Uber or something, but he's. He's in his car making a mess.
Dale Hellestray
Well, people are getting paid at least because he's still garnished for life, Right?
John Holmberg
Yeah. I don't know what that deal is. Billions of dollars. He'll never make the money he owes the Sandy Hook people, so. But. Yeah, but you can't steal a man's right to make a living for himself. He just to take the extra. So yeah, I don't know what his life is like. Car looks nice. Looks clean. If it was an Uber. It's four star just looking at it. I don't know about the crying girl. If you ever got in the car with a crying Uber, would you stay? Guys, read the Not Real Stage. Did you read the article about the DOJ and what they're doing with the Epstein files? All right, just. You know what? We're not going to go. Change their minds. Canceled trip. Waymo never cries. I'd rather be in a. People always say that. Like, what if the Waymo goes crazy? What if Alex Jones is your driver? What would you rather have? The crazy Waymo that's going to go around the airport 100 times in a second circle or dude who's on his last, like, thread. I don't know if I go on get on that freeway. Just hit the gas. Never turn back. You know how it is, Brady. What do you do for a living, brother? Pull over. Pull over. You crying music. Turn up something else. News gets me. All right, I'm gonna call away. Mo. Pull over, you big pussy. Brad's going out this morning. He's not going to cry. If he does, laugh at it, because that's hysterical. Albertsons is where he's going. Where? Carefree highway in the i17. We're testing limits with Brett. We're seeing how far we can push him directionally. Carefree highway now. I17. That's a good one. And last year, if I remember right, that one started real slow. And then we just got a slew of stuff. You can donate some water for Operation Hydration. Yes, we yesterday. Six pallets of water. I don't have the name of the company in front of me. Toledo will come in and yell it at me in a second.
Brady Bogan
Holmberg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
But six pallets of water, I never knew what. Oh, it was. It was communication. No, they put. They put cables in the ground.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Unbelievable. I never knew what that looked like. Like, when you say six pallets of water, man, it is a semi truck. It is tons. So on our quest to get a million bottles of water for the Phoenix rescue mission, stuff like that most certainly helps. That is a huge jump in the right direction. Amazing. You can help out today by grabbing a case and piling on. Each case counts towards that goal. And you can do it this morning.
Dale Hellestray
With a shout out.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Cave. Yeah. And if you Want to drop off a ton? You can do that too. Or some money. We'll talk to Brett. He's also got Volbeat and Pantera to tickets. He's out there this morning at Carefree highway and the i17. So all you folks that are out in that area, go in, give Brett an envelope with some money, say, go inside, get a couple of those cases. He'll do it for you. Or you can turn around, come right back out and drop the water off yourself. Try to fill that truck up this morning. I think that's a beautiful thing. So thank you in advance and thanks to Albertsons this morning. And go get your Vol Beat Pantera tickets from Brett. They're hanging out out there in a beautiful way. Brady, I don't know if this emailer here hates me or loves me. I'm in a very strange relationship with J. Foe. Now, a few weeks ago, back in June, early June, I read the one that says, you're not a man. Quit saying Covid. And I said. I said, you're paid to do this. Covid doesn't exist. And your staff. And you continue to bring it up. Oh, poor John Holmberg thought he might have Covid. You don't. I listen because you're the best morning shower around. Huh? Wait a second. All the pathetic sponsors that you constantly praise, they ruin everything and everyone. Endless commercials and pathetic music. Go back to the morning show. Cause you have talent for that. You're making me bipolar. Feel free to call me out on the air. I'll give you a good 30 minutes, we'll laugh. You lost me five years ago. Besides, you'll never be on the air with this or honest about anything. Just abide by your contract and your pathetic life. I've been a fan since 2001.
Dale Hellestray
What is going.
John Holmberg
There's really nothing else around but you and Joe Rogan sign J. That one confused me back in June. Right. Haven't heard from him since. And I remember reading that on the air last night at 2:05am that's when you know you got something brewing.
Toledo
Is it from Maryvale? Can you tell?
John Holmberg
No, I don't know. He didn't sign. Like Maryvale Pride or anything at the end says. All right, you win. You toasted and roasted me back my last email. I actually enjoyed it because I'm a man, unlike you. I'm not a. All right, here we go. I deserved it. You couldn't resist. But to go out all out several times between the numerous pathetic commercial companies. You're giving up on the Suns You're a Steelers fan. Good luck this season. Moose knuckle. You'll never admit due to your contractual obligations any of this advertising and marketing. What would Brady do? Who are these people? There's some sick stuff. After been very funny for 25 years. You've earned it all. Wow.
Dale Hellestray
I can't tell if he likes it.
John Holmberg
That's what I keep saying. I just wonder the facts I presented to you which being friends with everybody doesn't justify. You all have it made. Early mornings. You're hilarious. Then it happens. Commercials. Comments. Lame ass suck up songs. What the huh says. Keep promising everything you're paid to do. And Volbeat. What a great band. Solid band. 7-24-26th out in Glendale. But let it go. They're not stellar. Keep living off your life and endless backyard talk. I'm amazed it takes local radio stations to keep homeless people hydrated. Promoting endless companies and corporations. You're doing a good job giving that water around.
Toledo
What is happening?
John Holmberg
It's free. Yeah, but we all pay for it. For you. Stick up for your talents. It's priceless.
Dale Hellestray
Quit.
John Holmberg
Quit being a dude douche. Facts are facts. I hope you call me out again. I'll keep listening. Because someone said it's free. You sort of. From 5:45 to 10. It's pathetic. Commercials advertising refurbished songs. Enjoy being number one because literally there's no one else like you. I. This is hard for me to get through. At least I'm effing honest and crime free. Unlike most of your trash. Unlike most of your trash talking listeners. Now go get water for everybody because our governor won't do anything. What the F. Does our governor actually do? Nothing. J Fo. I have no idea what to say to that other than don't crumple it up. We got to. I got it on the. I got it. We're good. No, Trust me. It's in a file. Created a file. I've created a digital file. Okay. If you know anyone whose first name starts with J and last name is Fontana or something. Be. Be aware of them and just say hey. How late did you stay up last night? J Fo. Hello. Three, four o'. Clock.
Toledo
You're assuming he's got acquaintances.
John Holmberg
It's a good point. These are Those dudes at 2:05. Yeah. You know I got a bone to pick with that morning show.
Dale Hellestray
Just spitting facts.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Not sure you.
Dale Hellestray
There's a foe. Meet lady J. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Talk to. Oh, I don't like Guten talk involved. Yeah, I don't. I don't know What? It. I don't know. 200 faces. I don't know what a 205am email is supposed to sound like, but I'm pretty sure they all sound like that. Yeah, not a lot of 205 emails that come rolling in there.
Toledo
I think he's a little pissed he got kicked out of the bar and.
John Holmberg
Now I know you just got home from one.
Toledo
That's what I'm saying. He got.
John Holmberg
You know, he didn't get kicked out if it's 205. Well, he got kicked out because they're closed, so he's not mad. They love him there. Trust me. He's j.
Dale Hellestray
Foe is one side and foe is the other. Like, it's multi personality.
John Holmberg
He loves us.
Dale Hellestray
You're going back and forth.
John Holmberg
He thinks you're hilarious. You piece of. Yeah, Freddie, you're the best. Doing great job for the city now. Keep doing your stupid, you know, slave labor for all these advertisers. You pile a garbage piece of. Keep it up. You're doing a great job. You're number one for a reason, my friend. I hope you die in a car wreck. Huh?
Toledo
That's like getting jabbed nine times and then stopping going, hey, you, you're awesome.
John Holmberg
You know what it is? It's like, I respect you, bro. I think you're a good guy. But here's everything I hate about you. That conversation. It's that conversation. I don't. I don't know. What are you gonna do?
Brady Bogan
What are you gonna do about it?
John Holmberg
You got no control. I'm like, what? What are we talking about? You're really good at what you do. Like, I am so confused by this argument. I don't know. Like, I would rather you were a woman. At least I'm supposed to be confused.
Toledo
It might be AI but he has the worst pronouns ever.
John Holmberg
If he's AI, AI is good now. Yeah, I don't know what that was. FU Homeberg for monetizing your life, being hilarious in a good person. You dirty piece of. Yeah, if you want to go J. FO the whole time. Says maybe Brady wrote it because that's how he speaks. In sentences. None of it makes sense. It's kind of half and half. Was he reading a Brady report script or just trying out for the Volbeat post it game?
Dale Hellestray
See? At least he's consistent.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I don't know. That's a weird one. One. He's bipolar. That's for sure. Maybe it's one of them Gilbert moms that hates me so much for calling out truths about how that paranoid group of fragile heads is out there screaming and crying about things that aren't that big a deal. That is a drunk man right there. He said, wait a minute. What did I miss? John, are you really giving up on the Suns? That's the one thing that guy took from that. No, I'm not giving up on this. I'm not happy with the sun. Dale will be in here later today. I'll tell you this about the Suns. Devin Booker signed a two year extension yesterday and so he's going to be here till 2030. No, they're not trading him, Toledo. They're hanging on to garbage. The suns are the NBA's junk drawer. Now, my friend Brian said that yesterday. I'm like, you are so right. Everybody's got three or four screwdrivers or a couple tape measures. Measures in their junk drawer. You got extra and you don't need either of them. And then. But you just won't let go to the drawer. You just won't let go to the junk drawer. It has no semblance of order. It has no real plan. The junk drawer just opens up and you hope you find something in there. And that's what the suns are. They're the junk drawer. You open it up and you hope that all the things in there are going to get you to the next thing you need. But you don't get rid of them. Well, you can't get rid of it because you never know when you're going to need it because you don't have a plan. Yeah, the junk drawer is only there for the times you're like, I got no idea what to do. Let's consult the junk drawer. It's the magic eight ball of everybody's house. I need a tape measure. That's 20. I've got four.
Dale Hellestray
Scorpion light.
John Holmberg
I have four. Exactly. It's in there. In Arizona. Everybody's got at least one and it doesn't work very well.
Toledo
No, because the batteries have been in.
John Holmberg
There for two years. There's free batteries floating around. It may be the used ones, they may be new. You don't know. But I've got four 25 foot tape measures, two of which don't retract on their own anymore to do. Why did I the other two. No, I know which ones are what.
Aafion Crockett
Oh, you do?
John Holmberg
I have no need for two of them to still be in existence.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, we've kept it down just to one that works in the junk drawer.
John Holmberg
The junk drawer has no semblance of order. The junk drawer Is a disaster. The Suns are the junk drawer now. Surprise you now and again that the junk drawer has everything you need and it'll pop up every once. Oh, my God. The junk drawer drawer. What a great day for the junk drawer. I found the batteries. I found the sticks that smell good. I found matches. I got a tape measure and a screwdriver. Everything I needed today was in the junk drawer. That's a big win. The next time you go to the junk drawer, none of it's in it. You just got blown out by the Lakers. That's essentially what this is. You have no plan. There's no consistency to the junk drawer. There's papers in it. Why? What's that? I have a small plant in the junk drawer. An old, small plastic. Plastic plant. Why? It's not good enough to display, but it's in the junk drawer.
Dale Hellestray
I've got a water tester.
John Holmberg
Of course you do. Why? You're making my point for me. It has nothing to do with what's in your junk drawer.
Toledo
Lisa's got three checks that she deposited. Mobile still in there. From like three.
John Holmberg
Just in case somebody calls and says, let's see those. Write down the confirmation number. You only keep things in the junk drawer just in case. Break glass in case of emergency. The Suns are now that. And here's another thing. And I love the guy. I think he's. He's great. I think he's awesome for the city. Devin Booker's not serious about winning championships. End of story. You don't. You don't extend what you've already got at three years for two more years. Looking at what just happened to the team you're on. If you were serious about a championship. If you're serious about a championship, you're like, let me see what you guys do in the next couple years. Because I'm looking at this roster right now and I'm saying no.
Toledo
But explain to me what his options are as far as I don't know how. Ndba. Contracts. Contracts.
John Holmberg
Work.
Toledo
Is his best option staying here or what? His best option doesn't matter. Doing something.
John Holmberg
The players run the league. The players run the league. Right. If he went to the gym right now and said, I don't want to play here anymore.
Toledo
They can facilitate their own training.
John Holmberg
Of course they can. They've run. They can't. Coaches are getting fired because of players. There's no coach that gets hired. Devin Booker was in on the. He sat down a couple times in the meetings for the new coaches. The players are in charge so he can go to the gym him and go, let's see what you're building here. And I'm not. I'm not getting a no, I'm not extending this unless he's just complacent and content. Likes his house with where he is. Doesn't really care if they have a good roster or not because right now they don't.
Toledo
Again, maybe have Kendall over.
John Holmberg
They're a junk drawer. They have five centers, four shooting guards, no point guard, a forward here, kind of a guy here. They don't have a rock. So he sits and looks at that and says, you know what? Give me a couple more years with this. It would be like signing a five year deal at kslx. What are you doing?
Toledo
What about the summer league? Is nothing going on in the summer.
John Holmberg
League for the Suns? What does that have to do with it? I don't know.
Toledo
But there's nothing coming up. Isn't there?
John Holmberg
No. Look at their roster. I know their roster. It's not like you're. And again, if you're relying on the summer league to build your roster, you got no plan.
Toledo
Yeah, I guess you're right.
John Holmberg
This is a mess of a team. So the guy through all that J. Foe email, what this guy got out of it or he giving up on the Suns? I'm pretty upset with him.
Toledo
One quick one on J. Fo. You sure that's a man, John? Because Jesus Christ, that sounds like my ex girlfriend.
John Holmberg
I'll give it to women for this. They almost 90 of the time the 205am email is a guy. You think Almost? Yeah, always. Like women aren't email reactionary. They. They stew on things, hold it in and then later when they're actually mad at you, then they bring up things from like the Paleolithic era. Let's go back in time thousands of years. Oh my God. I was a major man once. And you've got this. They store it. Dudes go home. Go. Yeah, give that dude a piece of my mind even though I like him quite a bit. It doesn't make any sense. That's a guy email. I'm almost convinced of it. Women don't go home from the bar at 205 and if they do, they're slump busters. They've got somebody with them. Yeah. So you get me off on the Suns right now. My buddy Brian coined the phrase and I couldn't agree more. Junk drawer. We've all got one. We have no real idea of what's in there. We just have a lot of Hope. There's a lot of hope when you open the junk drawer that what you're looking for will be there. The Suns are that. You look in there and you're like, man, I need a. I need a Phillips head screwdriver. But I need it to be like sunglasses size.
Dale Hellestray
I know of at least six things that I can depend on. The junk drawer that's in there.
John Holmberg
Right. That's not a plan.
Dale Hellestray
No. 9,000 paper items in there.
Toledo
Rubber bands.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You gotta. It's a mess is what it is. And usually you're like, yeah, there's a couple things that are pretty good. Devin Booker's pretty good. You got a couple guys on the team that are okay. They fit in the junk drawer and you can pop them out and go, this is a good one. We'll use this.
Toledo
But what does every junk drawer have? It has that organizer that makes. Means nothing.
John Holmberg
That's full of junk. Yeah. Sons are a junk drawer. And it's frustrating to be a season ticket holder.
Toledo
Toledo to let you know, Booker can get the most money from the Suns. So that's the incentive to sign for him. He has all the juice to go anywhere he wants in context of a trade. To John's point, the team wants to face to sell tickets. So they are being stubborn, trying to make it work without moving.
John Holmberg
They're not in control of this. Devin Booker can go to them right now, go. I don't like. I don't like the direction of this team and I demand a trade. You see it all the time. And then you got to trade that contract. And people would pick his contract up. It's heavy, but they'd pick it up. What he did was, man, I'm comfortable here. Most money I can make is with them championships or maybe it'll happen. Who knows? I want to do it. Who's like, this is. This is not a team. He's going to be 29. This is not a team that I'm going to win a championship with as it sits right. Right now. I need them to promise me that if this continues on another year that I, I got to see some action here. You dismantled the team that was in the NBA Finals and built this. Yeah. And now you're cash strapped and he goes and takes two more years. To me, that speaks volumes about how complacent he is here. I don't like saying that and I hope I'm wrong. I hope that they've magically come up with a new. I looked at their roster. They've been 18 year old center and two guys are paying behind him that are centers also. None of it makes sense. You got six shooting guards, five centers. The team is not. It's. It's a mess. A coach that's like 14. I hope I'm wrong. I don't think I am. They are far from being contenders. And that made me sad yesterday. Four down, Kevin Booker. I hate when I see that in sports when a dude sticks with a team that sucks and then you realize, oh, he likes being the big fish in a pond. He has no drive for titles. He has. He doesn't want that pressure. He doesn't like that. He doesn't want to be the guy that either got you there or did or was supposed to and didn't. Devin Booker isn't the guy that's gonna be like, he'll get us a championship. I think we all know that. And there's nobody else on that team that you're looking at going, oh, that's the guy that's gonna carry us over the top. Devin is. Is the guy. He's the face of the fringe. Oh, it's so frustrating. God, I hate that. We'll talk about it with Dale later. And he. I bet you he has the same opinion.
Aafion Crockett
What do you.
Toledo
What if Dominating has a great year?
John Holmberg
Oh, I have a bet with Kevin Ray that dominating will get a ring before Devin Booker. Oh, man, it's gonna happen. He's gonna have that bet. Yeah. There's no way that Ayton doesn't get a championship ring being a complete failure.
Dale Hellestray
On the roster somewhere.
John Holmberg
Somewhere he'll just bounce around until he gets one and it'll. And it'll be a champion and Devin Booker won't because you know, you know DeAndre is going to stumble into one. Just like being a seven foot dude who's like, I can do stuff like Bill Walton, Celtics. Well, Bill Walton with Celtics still actually was somebody had to worry about. Dominating is just a dude that helps out during practice. Like, you know, he's an elder a now, so at least his driveway can't ice over. He's going to make practice. And by the way, speaking of J Fo, I got a thanks as I'm sure you're going to get an apology from that guy when he's in AA with the other dude that was screaming at you a year ago. That's true. That Gilbert guy that got mad.
Toledo
John, keep up the great work. You are the south park of radio.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you piece of. I guess, anyway, speaking of all of our clients that we just Shove our noses right up their asses. Good dudes. Good dudes like him a lot. Those are good dudes. Doug Hopkins. Piece of love, that guy. He's awesome. Does a great job. Does a great job.
Toledo
He's the face of LA TV too, by the way.
John Holmberg
Oh, he's all over.
Toledo
He got off the cruise. I was like, what?
John Holmberg
Doug's all over. He's great. He's killing Southern California. He's doing great. There's a guy who does similar stuff, but not as good as Doug in Cleveland. And he put up billboards and he's in trouble because billboards have a thing that says, yeah, yes, I buy crack houses. And yeah, he does. But they're mad at him. They're saying, oh, I would just say that. He said, because I buy crack houses. Those are real things.
Dale Hellestray
I'm lying.
John Holmberg
And he says, what I do is buy homes. Generally, they're dilapidated, abandoned. No one lives in them. We buy the property, we fix it up, and we make affordable housing out of it. Well, the Cleveland City council president's like, we don't like that. That's trash. Says, maybe it should be with some people that are reputable, but not with somebody coming in clearly making a mockery of the neighborhood you have. Take Cleveland. You are the mockery of a neighborhood. You have crack houses. This guy's got a great ad campaign. In fact, I'm say it in the next spot for Doug Hopkins when I do it. Hey, John, over here. Chilling away for Doug Hopkins. Yeah, you got a crack ass. He'll buy it. There it is. He looks like a crazy person, but he buys crack houses. Doug Hopkins has told me stories about wandering in a house.
Toledo
You're welcome, community.
John Holmberg
Exactly. Nobody else is going to buy it. So if you've got a crack house and you want more crack and you're out of money, that's the dude to call. Hopkins will give you crack cash as is for your home, and you wander the streets looking for crack. Doug will fix your house up, make your neighborhood neighborhood better. I want a guy who's going to buy crackhouses knowingly or unknowingly.
Toledo
Doug's bought a crack house knowingly.
John Holmberg
Really? Oh, the stories Doug has about a few of the places he's got. It's like, man, crazy. Now, if it's a clandestine meth lab.
Dale Hellestray
Turn around and make some money on it. Doesn't matter where.
John Holmberg
But you got to be careful when you know that meth has been boiled up in there.
Toledo
Yeah, I imagine the remediation process is a little Bit.
John Holmberg
But if they don't have the lab set up, I'm not asking any questions. Questions.
Toledo
Just paint it. Paint the walls.
John Holmberg
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. The dude that sold it to me did not divulge. I know Doug didn't make it a clandestine meth lab. So the people he sold it to can go back two steps and go, pretty sure we know who did this. Crack houses, somebody. I love that there's a company out there that's willing to do that. If I had a crack house in my neighborhood. Sweet. Sweep that up. Somebody's got to buy that crack house now. My neighborhood. Somebody would buy it because it's a really nice neighborhood. There's a crack house in it. We'd take those people out, and we get good people. And they're not selling or making crack, like you said.
Toledo
He says, why are people complaining? These are not occupied. They're eyesores. No one's living in them. We do buy these properties.
John Holmberg
We fix them up.
Toledo
We make affordable housing out of them. What is the issue?
John Holmberg
I'll tell you what the issue is, Gilbert.
Toledo
Mom.
Brady Bogan
No.
John Holmberg
Cleveland has exposed nerves about people making fun of their city. So the second you say the crack house, they're like, where? Well, we don't. Ohio. You look right there. Ohio doesn't like to admit when things goes wrong. They're still defending Ohio State.
Toledo
Didn't we play 3,000 sex? Dude, that song, that was about Cleveland. Well, that was about all of it. Everything bad.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a long time ago. The guy that made fun of Cleveland, the mistake.
Toledo
Everything was wrapped.
John Holmberg
It's known as the mistake on the lake. So when you've got billboards that say we buy crack houses, it reminds everybody they're in Cleveland, and nobody likes to be reminded of that. Toledo probably has that. We have crack houses. And everybody's like, of course you do. Your Toledo. They still don't like to acknowledge it. They say things like, they're still really good parts of Toledo. Yeah, I don't know about that. I saw about 80%.
Dale Hellestray
You can be first in on that here. Running billboards.
John Holmberg
Hopkins. Yeah. He did the billboard over on main street that says the thing about trailers. That ain't a good picture of a trailer. Trailer. You can.
Toledo
Home buyer Andy's buying crack houses.
John Holmberg
We don't know. I don't know if he can or not. I just want people to do it. I want somebody buying crack houses. So that guy. We should put the billboards up. Doug Hopkins, your commercials are safe with me from Here on out. Even if you live in a crack house, you want some crack money, they'll go give you cash for your crack and house. You can keep the crack, scoop all that crack up and get out of there. Doug will clean it up. That's a service that this city. You know who's going to do it if he doesn't? The city.
Dale Hellestray
Or it just sits there.
John Holmberg
Right? And they're going to have to go in there and either clean it up or board it up or keep an eye on it or put a fence around it. They're going to spend some money on it. The crack house people are. That's a good group. It's a damn fine group. And also, you have to be careful of this. Another thing I saw yesterday, Michael Rapaport, who's been in here a few times, we all know Michael Rappaport. He posted a meme of what he thought, I think. I don't know if he knew it was AI or not, but it was an AI picture of a guy in the Auschwitz camp, one of the prisoners playing a violin. I didn't see the post, but everybody's mad at him because it wasn't real. It's an AI. It looked pretty real to me. It's a. It's look. Would you know this was AI? It's a. I mean, it is emaciated dude in a camp playing a violin. And I don't know what Michael Rapaport's point was. It says he's under fire for sharing social media picture where a prisoner in a concentration camp. The Auschwitz Museum Memorial said it's. We checked it, it's fake and it's disrespectful. Can't. Can't we now AI, we're going to be wrong a lot with AI over the next few years.
Toledo
We're going to be wrong more than we are now.
John Holmberg
We have to give people a little bit of grace to say, oh, okay, yeah, I'd have fallen for that, too. I didn't know that. I don't know. I just watched a movie a couple months ago about how they had boxing matches with the prisoners. And it's heartbreaking. I don't know how real or fake it was, but I didn't think it was disrespectful because it made my heart fall out of my body saying, this was a human. This was something humans did. So. Yeah, but they're yelling at Michael Rapoport like he did that to hurt the Holocaust victims. And I'm like, I don't. I think they're all right with it. And maybe all he has to do is go back on. I thought the picture was touching. Turns out it was AI. I. I didn't know, like, you know.
Dale Hellestray
That would be a. An easy fix in a way. I'm sorry.
John Holmberg
Right. But I saw that picture in AI or otherwise. I thought. I thought it was kind of the triumph of the human spirit. These people were facing the worst of the worst of the worst. Dude picked up a violin and started to give them music that's actually kind of beautiful, but it's not real. So.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah. And some of them didn't have a chance choice.
John Holmberg
They were forced to play the violin. I don't know if you didn't play the violin. I'm sure there were moments where they're like, pick up your viola.
Dale Hellestray
Just like the boxing.
John Holmberg
Oh, the guy wanted. He was a good boxer. And then. Yeah, they kind of put him in there and made him. Made him fight some guys. And they'd kill him if they lose. That was the problem. So you fought for your life for real. But I don't. I don't really think. Okay. And the one and the two was a. Like, that would be the easiest day at Auschwitz. Learn the viola. Okay. I don't have to pick up any anvils or. No, you're learning to play a stringed instrument today. I got the good job. I'm gonna play that violin. It's gonna be easy. Evidently, it wasn't real. And I don't know what that means, but Michael Rappaport's getting it for you can get canceled for AI stuff now. Did he create it? And even if he did, if I didn't know the difference until someone told me. Was it that that bad? I don't think he was making fun of anything.
Dale Hellestray
We appreciate the nod to the memorial, but this was a bad. This was a. AI photo. Yeah, sorry.
John Holmberg
That or just leave it alone.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
If they were playing beach volleyball, I'd be like, hey, wait a minute. This doesn't add up. I don't think they had rec day then maybe. Because that seems like a joke. This one didn't look like a joke at all. It looks like a. Like a touching photo. It was somebody playing a violin, but they're all over them now, and I don't understand. Understand anything anymore. So is it a Fiddler on the Roof reference? That's a good point. I don't know. Is that. I don't know. He's not on the roof. I don't know. I honestly didn't See the whole thing, But I didn't think it was.
Toledo
Did he have the track? If I were a rich man, Yeah.
John Holmberg
I don't know. I am worried more that you can get in trouble for an AI thing that you thought was real. And I don't know who it's making.
Toledo
Stop. Brady's segment.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. Yeah, because Brady's getting fooled by him pretty much all the time. And how many times have you been fooled and you didn't know?
Aafion Crockett
Exactly.
John Holmberg
He's walked away from it.
Toledo
To your point, very soon we're all.
John Holmberg
Going to be in that.
Toledo
In that camp, right? Everything we see.
John Holmberg
I have no idea. I completely got me.
Dale Hellestray
You know, if it makes me laugh, I'm still sure.
John Holmberg
But there's the danger of that generation having AI. Well, sure, if Auschwitz AI makes you laugh, Brady, you've got a bigger problem. This is a great one.
Toledo
Isn't Michael Rapaport that lesbian US Soccer chick?
John Holmberg
No, no, no, no. That's Megan Rapinoe. And that's offensive that you confuse the two of them. AI. Michael Rapoport might be Megan Rapinoe, but, man, you can't get into this. So if you do an AI thing and you're older and then you post it on your Instagram, just know, I.
Dale Hellestray
Can'T believe this is happening.
John Holmberg
You might lose your Social Security or something. In the future, if you start dicking around with Instagram and AI, I'd say, don't do it. I again, like I've always said, and it's getting worse. All that stuff is a viper in your pocket. You think you're having fun or you think you're actually trying to make some sort of a point or that you're being important. And the next thing you know, you look. The day I get a call from the Auschwitz museum saying, I've screwed up and I didn't mean to, man. Oh, my God. You know, bad it would feel, and you can't explain it away. Then TMZ is talking about it. You're like, oh, no, I'm not posting anything ever again.
Toledo
You just stand on your heritage with the Auschwitz people.
John Holmberg
No, I'm not. What I'm saying is don't post a single thing ever again. You never know, years from now, like, you know, that thing you posted was fake and it offended the Auschwitz museum. I'm like, I don't even know it was fake. And now I got this to deal with. Not worth it. Keep taking pictures of your food until Africa goes. What are you guys doing? Wait a minute.
Toledo
They haven't yet, no.
John Holmberg
They haven't got the Internet yet. But when they do and they start seeing America bragging about food, it's gonna be an all out war. What is tiramisu? Do you have photos? Photos of it? Tons and tons of photos of it.
Toledo
Oh, it's delicious.
John Holmberg
Oh, you should try it. You take photos of your food to rub it into us. It's not why we do it. Well, that's what it feels like. And the next thing you know, you're in a fight with Africa because you take pictures of food and people without food. I like that.
Dale Hellestray
After we posting of other countries food too, serving up at the little stores and stuff, they're. They're getting it back. The bowls of flies and stuff.
John Holmberg
Okay, that's your algorithm? Yeah. Look, that's all we're talking about. I don't think India and Africa care about the fly bowls, but they do care about, like, happy birthday effort over at, you know. Yeah, that steakhouse over on Ivy and whatever. And we take pictures of food, mash it up. Don't eat it all. We're photographing it all. If Africa gets hold of that, that's insulting.
Toledo
Hey, we're a week removed from the Competitive eating championship. 87 Twinkies.
John Holmberg
So we just not just ate 70 and a half hot dogs. You think Africa looks at that and goes, you know, they're playing with their food. There's groups of people over there in Ethiopia that are just wandering around picking up. Does dirt taste good to you today? It tastes bad to me.
Toledo
Don't be jealous. He loses the competition if he throws up.
John Holmberg
So I found something called the Internet. Let's look. Food, food, food, food, food, food, food. America has tons of food. This guy had 70 hot dogs in 10, 10 minutes.
Brady Bogan
I would like 70 glizzies in 10 minutes too.
John Holmberg
I have not had them in my entire life. Keep it up with your stupid posts. I feel bad for Michael Rappaport, though, because I'm not sure what his intention was, but I don't think that photo was. I don't think he was trying to be funny anyway. You got to give him a break too. He's a Knicks fan. He's been through a lot in the last month and a half.
Toledo
John, to go along with your point, did you see that the. The Marco Rubio AI version fooled the White House staff.
John Holmberg
We're all going to hell for this thing. This AI Thing's got us.
Aafion Crockett
Wow.
John Holmberg
Older people shouldn't mess with it. Younger people are gonna. They're gonna twist you up and knots trying to figure that out. Don't try to keep up. AI's gotcha.
Dale Hellestray
I I and now you can use it to the other side, too. You post something that is real, like, nope, it's AI.
John Holmberg
Everything's AI. I W I I watch cats videos where they make these AI cats walk around and pet dogs. And then the one where I was the saddest thing I've ever watched, there was this dog walking through a school, and all the students at the school were pigs, and they're teasing the dog, but they're not. Like, they're just oinking at him and pointing. And, like, he just puts his head down. You know, he's been ridiculed. And he walks along and this big tabby cat pets him on the head, takes him home and gives him a bath, which I think was odd. And I'm watching the whole thing, gives him a bath, feeds him and stuff. He's like, oh. And then the next day, the pig and that dog are driving around in a car, and you just hear. And they run over a pig, and then they cook and eat the pig. I'm like. And the dog's elaborate. Oh, it's amazing. It's that cat. He does all sorts of crazy stuff. He walks around like people, and he, like, saves other animals lives. And there he is cooking. He's making, like, fries and stuff. Oh, it's unreal. And I don't know if that's the same page, but it was incredibly elaborate. It moved me. And then they ran that pig over, and the next thing you know, they have this pig with an apple in its mouth. And the dog couldn't be happier. And basically, what it teaches you through the adorable use of animals is that revenge is the best medicine. And these AI cats have me completely, completely, like, I'm in. I wasn't fooled by it. I knew it wasn't real. I know there's no school for pigs, and I know cats don't give dogs baths in tubs, so it's pretty easy to figure it out. But anyway, by the way, to David Vasquez, I can't read your joke, but it's hilarious. Thank you. Just got it on the email. What do you got on the big board of musical treats? We got to go to Brett in a little bit. He's out there at the Albertsons on Care was a Carefree highway and I17. He's probably getting there right about now. Operation Hydration going on. So we'll check in with him in a minute. But in the Meantime, what do you got on the board of Musical Treats brought to you by our friends at Action Ride Shop? Get on out there. If you don't. If you had plans to. It was 104 degrees in Sedona yesterday.
Dale Hellestray
Oof.
John Holmberg
Yeah. So? Even biking up north a little bit.
Dale Hellestray
Crystals.
John Holmberg
But yeah, There's a lot of divorced ladies doing yoga in the woods. I'm sweaty. This is hard. I don't think I want to have sex with you today, Ramon. In the woods to get over my ex husband and get my groove back. It's too hot.
Toledo
Does your melted crystal adversely affect your chi?
John Holmberg
No. But the guy who gave you the crystal in the first place will lie and say it's good luck because he's trying to bone you. Doing yoga in the woods. Here. Here's your sounding bowl. That should make your swamp box clear up and get us ready for the next move. I call it the Nasser pelvic touch. Is that good? Your husband didn't know about it?
Dale Hellestray
Nasser yoga?
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's Nasser yoga. That's what all these divorced ladies go do. 44, 45 years old. They pick up yoga in the woods with some guy in tights. He didn't know yoga. He's just limber.
Dale Hellestray
Don't you modify the shirts that say Namaste NASA Nasarte?
John Holmberg
What's that? Oh, it's my own variation. Would you like to go out into the Sedona in the woods? I'm very limber. He's unbelievably did the splits and then he did this thing to my pelvis. My husband never did anything like that. That's why he's getting away with it.
Toledo
Bullet with a name for the baby Hit the floor by Bullet for my Valentine. The Hives Countdown shutdown always good Ozzy. Mr. Crowley. George Thorogood. Bad of the bone for the Maryville baby.
John Holmberg
That is a badass baby. I'm gonna tribute to the baby. Bad to the bone. I like that one. No, they're coming up. We'll get some more Volvo. Bad to the bone for that baby in Maryvale. So much tougher than those Gilbert teens that can't get their hair pulled without calling the police chief. A baby got shot in Maryvale yesterday. He's fine. Maryvale, you rule. I'm a big fan of Maryvale. Gilbert, take a lesson. Toughen up, buttercup. My daughter got her hair pulled at the in and out. We called the police chief. Maryville baby got shot last night. I gotta go to work. See you. See you in the afternoon. Where's the baby? He's in intensive care. He's all right. He's one of his friends from baby daycare is in there.
Brady Bogan
Ray.
John Holmberg
Ray. He got stabbed. Maryvale? You ruled a little formula didn't want. Didn't want. See the. I don't even know if that's a thing. A police chief of Maryvale going on. This is a problem. An epidemic. Babies getting shot will not be stood for. Mary. That's to going to happen. Hannah got her hair pulled by Hannah at the in n Out.
Dale Hellestray
Where's the police chief?
John Holmberg
I lost the rhinestone on my back pocket. Don't anyone move. Ah, yeah, I like this.
Toledo
She's no longer friends with Kaylee and Kylie.
John Holmberg
Bad to the bone works. This is a good one for that Maryvale baby. It's not weird.
Aafion Crockett
It's pretty cool actually.
John Holmberg
No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
Aafion Crockett
You PD Hberg's morning s been deceived.
John Holmberg
By an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. I check in with Brad here. I just got an email from guys. It's great show so far this morning, guys. 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 Jay Foe. That's true. Thank you, Ryan. That's exactly how I felt reading J Foe's email. And hopefully at 2:05 in the morning he'll once again email some sort of return. 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?
Toledo
Irvin Cable Communications.
John Holmberg
Cable Communications. Irvin Cable Communications dropped off six pallets of water yesterday. So, Brett, you have less work to do today. But I don't want that kind of attitude. 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. I didn't hit the button. Go ahead. That's all right. I'm out here working, man, and that van turns people into dicks. All right. And I'm bringing in the numbers, though. Yeah, you are. You're crushing it now. I got to give it to you. God bless. Is it going well out there this morning? I'm already slammed. The. The guys from North Phoenix, Winston Water Cooler. Philip, the owner, decided he's going to donate ate four pallets. Wow. So they showed up with a truck already, and I'm. 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. So four more pallets from.
Aafion Crockett
What is it?
John Holmberg
Winston Water. 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. Oh, that's fantastic. This is amazing. Yeah. So thanks to Philip and Doug, who dropped it off, and then Pexa Auto Work, 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. All right. That's a beautiful thing. I have a. I'm sorry if I seem distracted. I am in the. I'm in the middle of a domestic. What? Well, I've got a problem at home. It's about a woodpecker. I've got a woodpecker. And it isn't because the woodpecker is damaging anything around the house. It dropped its baby. And so I got a text. Will you tell Al and the yard crew not to do the backyard today? There's a fledgling woodpecker under the tree. And I emailed back. Well, yesterday. Here was the conversation I had yesterday. It was like, there was this peacock in the tree, and a little peacock was laying under the tree. And I'm like, what are you talking about? What do you mean? Like, we have peacocks in the backyard? No, what are you talking about? Did I say peacock? Yes, I meant woodpecker. Oh, right. That's a natural miss. So now there's live at the World Wildlife Zoo, or. What is this? I got this. This yard with 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.
Dale Hellestray
We have a nestling in the.
John Holmberg
So she sends a picture of Woody Woodpecker, and she goes, this doesn't. I'm like, woody was an asshole. The backyard can't wait one more week. What if the bird's still there? How long does this go on? He's in the path where they walk. Ask them to step over the bird. They're not blind. We don't have oracles in the backyard.
Dale Hellestray
Well, if she doesn't like it, it's what?
John Holmberg
Brett strap a leaf blower to her back and have her do the yard herself? Damn it, I love Brett. He's one. 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. Oh, he won't listen to me. No, probably not. And neither am I. Click. Pretty. I'm texting. It's back and forth. Oh, okay. So then the last one I got. Are you cool if I do that? You're not going to beat me? Me? I hadn't honestly. I honestly hadn't thought about it until just now. No promises, but if the backyard don't get done. Yeah, it's on the table. Let's see if the company gets mad when I go. You know, at home today, there's a pretty good chance. Little domestic. 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. Somewhere else. I'm not going to touch it. Oh, don't get me started. Yesterday, get a ladder, Put it in the tree. 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 happens. Something got down there. The dogs brought something in, God knows what instead of doggy doors. And stuff. So they got in there. They're maggots. The whole room had to be, like, pulled apart.
Toledo
Find the source.
John Holmberg
So, no, but everything. She's throwing everything away. And I'm like, what are you doing? What are you doing? 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. This is all gone. It's. 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 answer. I'm telling Al to skip the back backyard. Go ahead. Go ahead. Or. 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. There's. I don't understand this at all. Sorry for the. I digress.
Toledo
Sorry for the Brady interruption here. So, John, you're saying Megan got her peckers and cocks.
John Holmberg
Don't pun with me right now. I'm not in the mood. All right, Brett, you're done. I'm done? The whole conversation. 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.
Aafion Crockett
All right.
John Holmberg
Winston Waterworks. That was awesome. Four more pallets, guys. This thing is going nuts. I got a peacock issue. Huh? I'm telling him to skip the backyard. Why? The whole thing. Yep. They're right in the path where the guys would be walking. Move him.
Dale Hellestray
Shoebox.
John Holmberg
Come on. I can't touch him. Glove up, please. Touch him, please. What? I'm worried for the little guy. I want him to make it. Then go put your gloves on. Put him in a shoe box. Put them up on the counter for a minute. Let Al and the guys go through. Do the Yard. Then put him back. What if the mom doesn't know where he is? It's a terrible, terrible woodpecker, mom is what it is. You say you love animals. I do.
Dale Hellestray
If it's anything like hummingbirds, that guy was pushed out of the neck nest.
John Holmberg
Oh, they. We have them all over the backyard. They push them out all the time, and then they watch.
Dale Hellestray
Basically they have a batch birds watch.
John Holmberg
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.
Toledo
Love birds back there.
John Holmberg
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.
Toledo
Dick birds.
Brady Bogan
Pen name.
Dale Hellestray
You got gypsy birds.
John Holmberg
I just got the last one. I won't cancel. Hopefully it hides in a bush. I'm also hoping those falcons don't kill him.
Toledo
She's busy.
John Holmberg
No, look, the falcons could very well eat this bird. That's the only real concern that she should have have is that the falcons that she's harbored and loved are now going to eat the other birds that she likes. And their babies.
Dale Hellestray
They have to feed their babies.
John Holmberg
Don't start in Richard Attenborough with the circle of life in my backyard. If Snow White had it 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 far he can push it with a leaf blower.
Brady Bogan
Holmberg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
No, I just went out and looked at him. I want to cancel again. Do you? Do you. I am at work. I am at work. Oh. This is why guys in the 70s, like, get a job, get out of the house. Just. I can't take it. I'm. I. Like I was. I. I used to say, no woman of mine's gonna work. But you're right. Get a job. I'm tired of you calling me at work. So, John, you leave the house and a bunch of peckers show up. Yeah. See, this is the type of people I deal with. But you guys are no help. Will, I might have to go home.
Dale Hellestray
Guys, take care of it.
John Holmberg
You guys think you have a woodpecker problem. But your gay neighbors have just made holes in all the walls that could be like Troy and Michael might have made. It's those damn woodpeckers. How come they're all about waist height? Yeah, I don't know. Very good point. High wall. Yeah, it seems awfully circular. This is a precision pecking stop. It's time for the Brady Report. While I deal with the domestic. God forbid the person at home actually do stuff. It's time for the Brady Report. It's brought to you by our friends at All Pro Shade Concepts.

Dale Hellestray
Oven.

Dale Hellestray
Happy National Pina Colada Day.
John Holmberg
Yuck. Coconut drink.
Dale Hellestray
Couple of random fun facts. Wayne Gretzky is the only player to score 200 points in an NHL season. He did it four times.
Toledo
He's also. There's like 13 guys who hit 100 assists. He did it 11 times.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Toledo
Or 13.
John 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 assists. And. And can you just pass Gretzky? Be like two.
Toledo
Right.
John Holmberg
He's got like 807 goals or something like that. And he's like a thousand points behind.
Dale Hellestray
The busiest Domino's Pizza location in the world is the one right outside of the Marine Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
Aafion Crockett
Oh man.
John Holmberg
You don't drink the water there.
Dale Hellestray
The white dashed lines the dog highway. How long do you think they are each?
John Holmberg
Each line? Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Two feet.
Toledo
Three feet.
Dale Hellestray
Funny, a lot of people say two.
John Holmberg
10Ft long each on the freeways. Yeah, because I'm looking at. I thought like all right, highway lines. That's not right.
Dale Hellestray
The white ones are 10ft.
John Holmberg
If they're white, they're 10ft.
Toledo
It's a long one. Look out there. Those are long. I don't know if that's. That's not a highway.
John Holmberg
But I mean I'm looking at the road. You're right. I never really paid attention along the white lines. Up your nose is through your veins. White lines. Vision, dreams of passion. 10ft of white lines. Maryvale just woke up. What?
Dale Hellestray
Only 4% of the calls routed to fire departments in the U. S are for actual fires. Majority of the calls are medical emergency.
John Holmberg
Emergency. They handle everything. Car wrecks, fire department. They're busy.
Dale Hellestray
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 where you should end the call then there are two buttons. Resume audio and video or end call.
John Holmberg
Supposed to be a security hold on. 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.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Are you sure you know what the phone is right? I don't really to want to do this if I'm in the middle of jerking off. The phone ain't stopping and some people.
Dale Hellestray
Are creeped out that Apple knowing when you're being naughty.
Toledo
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.
John 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.
Toledo
You're saying it's a little obvious?
John Holmberg
It's fairly obvious what I'm about to do.
Dale Hellestray
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 are made in China. They're scattered all. All over a property. She can't even. It can't even. None of them fit in her car seat to begin with.
John Holmberg
Wait, what? They just threw them in her yard.
Dale Hellestray
These packages keep arriving to her house.
John Holmberg
Does she want them?
Dale Hellestray
She complained to Amazon.
John Holmberg
Hold on though. But she Tried them out first.
Toledo
Apparently, she said one.
John Holmberg
Oh, I see. She might have done what I do and thought she ordered one.
Dale Hellestray
She contacted the Amazon arrived. 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.
John Holmberg
Maybe that's what happened with me in those cabana clothes. Could have sworn I only ordered a couple and it was 40.
Toledo
I think you're on the.
John Holmberg
By the way, I got a. Kyle's right. He goes, so wait a second. My phone's gonna C block now. Apple's gonna make the iPhone C blocker app, and they already have. And it's probably also covering for you.
Dale Hellestray
Just in case you're. You know.
John Holmberg
It's not a bad idea. It's that drunk text thing.
Dale Hellestray
Is it for the. You know, also, like, if you're FaceTiming at all. Well, that's like one of people, what I'm saying. Yeah, like when they do the office.
Toledo
Oh, like Zoom, where you haven't.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, the Zoom call.
Toledo
I don't think you can face it.
Dale Hellestray
Would it warn you on that?
John Holmberg
I don't know. But, like, you're saying you're jerking off at an office meeting.
Dale Hellestray
The guy's joining, doesn't realize he's still on the Oris. You know, people are getting busted on. We've had that.
Toledo
Where they're naked or whatever.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
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 so staring at you.
Dale Hellestray
It's just supposed to be my head.
John 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 you. 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.
Toledo
So if now you can edit.
John Holmberg
Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah. You can also Delete it and hope they didn't see it. Oh, I did. There's a. There's a thing that says undo undo text, but it tells the person that you unsent something.
Toledo
Oh, it does?
John 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. I'm jerking off. I can't lie to you.
Brady Bogan
But if.
John Holmberg
Yeah, if you're facing timing. Wait a minute.
Toledo
You meant to share a picture of your dick with Colin?
Dale Hellestray
Oh, yeah, yeah.
John Holmberg
We just didn't give it to Frank. Yeah, Colin was asking about if it.
Dale Hellestray
Was talking about woodpeckers again.
John Holmberg
Well, I needed to see if it was infected. No punning. I'm done with the puns. It's a real domestic.
Dale Hellestray
There's a new study out of the Ohio State university that shows 9% of young adult workers in their 30s will.
John Holmberg
Be raped at Ohio State University.
Dale Hellestray
Use alcohol, marijuana, marijuana or harder drugs like cocaine while on the job.
Toledo
Push down all the rapes.
John Holmberg
That's right. Then they have Ohio State have something to blame all their rapes on.
Dale Hellestray
Say 6% it's alcohol. 3% marijuana. 1% are taking cocaine or other hard drugs.
John Holmberg
I watched the Scarlet and Gray scrimmage the other day, Brady. I heard the crowd go, oh, wait, watch the documentary. They should burn the school down. Don't watch the documentary. 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.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John 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, 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.
Dale Hellestray
There's a Detroit cop that got arrested, stole 600 bucks from Percy, pulled over, didn't know his body cam was on. Oops, Removed her from the car. I need you to step outside the car while I search the car.
John Holmberg
And it showed him lifting up the purse. Oh, so that's when we need the cameras to be C blockers.
Dale Hellestray
And that's what the the chief was basically saying. This is a good reason why we have the cameras.
John 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 do you talking about?
Dale Hellestray
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. That 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 it because the phone was locked, but he made one of the images his wallpaper.
John Holmberg
Oh my God.
Dale Hellestray
They saw it on the lock screen. Reported 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.
John Holmberg
Right.
Dale Hellestray
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.
John Holmberg
Can I take a class to get out of this?
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, but to search his phone and found 20 illegal photos on it. At that point, he asked them to just not tell his mom.
John Holmberg
So hold on.
Dale Hellestray
46 years old?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Don't tell my mommy.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So in this same report, my phone knows to tell me, hey, you're jerking off and that my phone a problem. But it can't tell me that's child porn. 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. As both. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm gonna make it black and white. It's gonna be artistic.
Toledo
It's my favorite one. I have to see it all the time.
John Holmberg
Ridiculous.
Dale Hellestray
Finally, the. The Tropical Fruit.com ranked the 10 best cereals of all time.
John Holmberg
Those are the people that I would have asked, so. Yeah, go ahead. Okay. What are the tropical fruit people? It's going to be Froot Loops.
Toledo
Has to be.
John Holmberg
They love tropical fruit. That's like the only thing they're going.
Dale Hellestray
To Fruit Loops is number nine.
John Holmberg
I don't understand how the tropical fruit people can be so bougie.
Toledo
This Apple Jacks in there.
John Holmberg
Oops. All Berries.
Dale Hellestray
You got number 10, Frosted Flakes. Number nine, Fruit Loops. Number eight, Lucky Charms.
Toledo
Do you like the all berries?
John Holmberg

Dale Hellestray
Number six, Captain Crunch. Crunch Berries. Number five, Honeycomb. Number four, Cinnamon Life. Number three, Fruity Pepper Pebbles.
John Holmberg
Here we go.
Dale Hellestray
Number two, Cocoa Krispies.
John Holmberg
Interesting.
Dale Hellestray
Number one, Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
John 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.
Toledo
Tropical fruit dot com.
John Holmberg
I'm with Tropical fruit dot com. Oh, from the Caribbean.
Toledo
Deceptive.
John Holmberg
You're one the 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.
Dale Hellestray
Tricks not on the list.
John Holmberg
Trix.
Dale Hellestray
Golden Grahams.
Toledo
Golden Grams.
John Holmberg
Golden Graham's. Very good. But between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Golden Grams.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
You're going with.
Toledo
Oh, yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Someone also mentioned the CTC Honey Bunches of Oats. Of oats? Yeah.
John Holmberg
No. Or the Honey Cheerios.
Dale Hellestray
No. They were saying that one.
John Holmberg
Honey, when you say someone, who are you talking about on the list? You've had this discussion with other people.
Dale Hellestray
And there were people. There were people that.
John Holmberg
Looking at his phone, I'm like, are you getting immediate response to this through your group? Tropical Fruit Dot com. Go there a lot.
Dale Hellestray
Someone else was pissed that Grape Nuts wasn't on there.
John 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.
Dale Hellestray
Got a couple of Brady videos.
Aafion Crockett
Brady accidentally stumbled upon that.
John Holmberg
Rolling. Vegetables. Disgusting. Let's take a. What? Why are they all Limping. What's wrong with them? That one can barely talk.
Toledo
Where's the vets?
John Holmberg
He would. Vegetable studio. That's it. All right.
Dale Hellestray
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.
John Holmberg
He didn't lean. Oh, he's down into the. He's in the back of a truck. They're trying, and 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 just crumbles his spine up. 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.
Toledo
Just two months ago in May.
John Holmberg
Way to go. So he's back to work.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, I've been holding on this waiting.
John Holmberg
To see if he's all right or not. All right. Weightlifting at Michigan State.
Dale Hellestray
Little backyard leg day.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Toledo
Why Michigan State?
John Holmberg
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.
Dale Hellestray
It has no end.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. I'm not. There you go. It smashes his head with it. And the spotter does nothing.
Dale Hellestray
Spotters need a little work.
John 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.
Dale Hellestray
All right, last one's guy hot dogging with his shotgun.
John Holmberg
He's walking around spinning. Oh, he dropped it and it just blew his pants off. I've never seen anything like that. So lucky. That's how badass that neighborhood is. Listen to the reaction.
Dale Hellestray
Nobody moved.
John Holmberg
They laughed. There's children. Guy drops a shotgun.
Toledo
Plus, it's like a border checkpoint, isn't it?
John Holmberg
Drops a shotgun, blows his own pants off. The local children are amused. You know what?
Dale Hellestray
I kept listening. I'm wondering if they threw that in there.
John 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. 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 because 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. You babies. I like that one a lot. I'm kind of glad Brett's not here. 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.
Toledo
I think the first pickup from the mission when we first started it was. Was 10 pallets total.
John Holmberg
Okay. When they had the first one.
Toledo
Yeah, yeah, that was. First one way back in.
John Holmberg
All right, so we're. 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, 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.
Brady Bogan
Holmberg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
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 got 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? We're crushing it up here. A lot of people, like, a lot of people are 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. Made it all worth it. That's right. You know how many with captured ladies you passed to get to this Albertsons? Doing what I can, buddy. 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 shed with a. A hostage in it. It's the West Valley, like a day that ends in wide. 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 Vol beaten Pantera tickets. You're gonna be out there for another 30 minutes. Minutes or so. Truck's probably. It's. 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. Let's see. Collins, tree trimming dropped off a bunch of water for us, so taking care of him. And you know, we gotta 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, but come on up and drop off some water with it. 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. All right, we'll see you. 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. Full. And they had like 20. 20 people. So they gotta have actors trying. You gotta have an active audience. You have an. Hey, I don't, I don't. Look, if you're 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 that. They're good people.
Dale Hellestray
30,000 bottle day so far. Pacing.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Is that what you did the math on the Palace? Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
If there were 16 pallets and then some.
John Holmberg
Oh, we have 16. We had six pallets yesterday, four today, and then 16 cases. That's what you're. Oh, 16 pallets.
Dale Hellestray
No. So we're. Good.
John Holmberg
Lord, if somebody's dropped 10,000. We had a lot of bottles on our way to a million. And then you start to realize how hard that's going to be. Eh, Might overshot A little bit. But you know what? Every bottle matters. And that's what's cool. Aon Crockett is here. This dude is brilliant. Every time Aon's here, we. I never make him do his impressions. And he's one of the best impression out there. But we always get off on a topic.
Dale Hellestray
Today's the day.
John Holmberg
Today I'm focusing on Aeon. Surprise. 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. He's the best Chris Robin 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.
Aafion Crockett
It's pretty cool, actually.
John Holmberg
No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
Aafion Crockett
Morning sickness.
John Holmberg
You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. All right, off we go. Aon Crockett is here. He's at Stand Up Live Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday, standuplive.com. and I apologize to you because you're. You're a very talented man. You do tons of impressions. I always. I admire impressions. I love impressions.
Aafion Crockett
Thank you.
John Holmberg
And you do a ton of them. And you've been here a bunch of times. And every single time, either P. Diddy's doing something stupid. And you had a story about that last time you were here. It was right when all that stuff started to go.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, yeah.
John Holmberg
And. And then you broke out. Like, kind of your fault. One of the first things you said was, I was at a white party.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. It wasn't my fault. It's just history.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Right.
John Holmberg
So I lost all train of thought going. You're not doing any Chris Rock today. We're going right into this. What happened at the white party? And nothing. You were at a. Like a tame one. Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. I was at a. A day. A day White party. And. And as I said out loud.
John Holmberg
D, E, Y or day. White party.
Aafion Crockett
I say it out loud. You can take that. How you want to take. Was either a whole bunch of white people or I was at a whole day.
John Holmberg
White.
Aafion Crockett
White party with black people dressed in white clothes.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
However you want to flip. Was more like a cookout. You know what I mean?
John Holmberg
Okay. That's.
Aafion Crockett
You've heard the Boots on the Ground song now. Where everybody. Where them fans at? It was one of them. A lot of line dancing on the grass of a Beverly Hills mansion, but nothing to report.
John Holmberg
Like, you were never worried about getting called into court.
Aafion Crockett
Absolutely nothing. I wasn't worried about getting called into court or into somebody's bedroom. Like, you know, I keep my perfect.
John Holmberg
You kept it together.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. I keep my rear end to myself. You know, that's kind of been a practice.
John Holmberg
You know what?
Aafion Crockett
It's been a practice.
John Holmberg
You should speak at elementary schools with that as the theme. Keep your rear end yourself. Kids.
Dale Hellestray
Kids.
John Holmberg
Yeah, That's a key.
Aafion Crockett
Stranger Dangers, which you should say if a grown man offers you baby oil in a. In a comfortable bed at a party.
John Holmberg
It's a fact. I don't want to go to bed at any party I've ever been to. That's a fact.
Aafion Crockett
Why would you want to go to bed?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Well, I mean. Yeah, we both. We both made the mistake.
Brady Bogan
I know.
Aafion Crockett
Depending on where you might be, you. You know, you might take a nice guy's trip to Puerto Rico. Doctor. I don't know. You know, it might be appropriate.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Aafion Crockett
Then.
John Holmberg
But you have that moment where the other guy that's with you goes, can I come to. And that's when I draw lines. I am a one boner per room guy.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
That's my rule.
Aafion Crockett
Nah, you can't. You can't come to. Or come to.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Aafion Crockett
So we're going to go ahead and entendre that and.
John Holmberg
Yeah. So last time you were here, that.
Dale Hellestray
Was a glizzy fest.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. It was ridiculous. Wings.
Aafion Crockett
I'm laughing that you know the term glizzy.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
That's crazy.
John Holmberg
He doesn't look like a guy who would know glizzy.
Aafion Crockett
No, you don't.
John Holmberg
Except for think about it. Yeah. Think about it. He kind of does. He's gonna learn all the terminology for food.
Aafion Crockett
Oh, we own it now, right?
John Holmberg
He's not gonna pass up here in glizzy and watch it.
Dale Hellestray
I gotta know.
John Holmberg
Is that how you order that? He's gonna learn the secret code and that's it.
Aafion Crockett
But in hip Hop Glizzy is code for other things.
John Holmberg
The fact that he's.
Aafion Crockett
He used it perfectly.
Dale Hellestray
Alexander's sheet, which is interesting because how it turned into a hot dog.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Aafion Crockett
Right. Weird, Right?
John Holmberg
Right. Cylindrical item. It kind of makes sense in its own weird way. But you haven't been anything that could pop up in the news later, like, years from now. You're not waiting, are you one of the. Yeah. You have something that you put. You posted. Somebody sent me because I had just said similar things, and they said, this guy feels the same as you. And I'm like, oh, that's a Crockett. And it was a post that said, money can't solve all your problems. And you just said, yes, it can.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And I said, it solves all your problems. And you know who says that? Poor people.
Aafion Crockett
Poor people say it. And people who have gotten a lot of money and don't know what to do with it.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Because there's some people that will never be satisfied. And if you're not satisfied with $100 in your pocket, you won't be satisfied with 100 million. You're always going to be looking for the next 100 million and the next and the next and the next. But I'm good with 100 million.
John Holmberg
Yeah. It would solve a lot of issues.
Aafion Crockett
All my issues. I'm going to be honest with you, except some of my family. Family members. 100 million is gonna do it for me.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
It'll keep it.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I always hate those. I hate those people that say, like, they'll watch a lottery winner and the news will jump on this when a lottery guy blows his whole life.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And they're like, well, that happens most of the time, but. No, it doesn't. So many people win the lottery and are super happy afterwards, and people who didn't win want them to be miserable, so they point that out. Money, money, money solves all your problems.
Dale Hellestray
Just the point of that. You're gonna have problems no matter what. Okay.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I'm out of caviar problems. Yeah. So they sent it to me. I'm like, yeah, he's right. You're the only one that says it.
Aafion Crockett
Different level, different devil.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And you want more.
Aafion Crockett
I want more.
John Holmberg
I want it all.
Aafion Crockett
Listen, man, I'll take more money every day.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Just give me more money. Just give me more money. Because here's the thing.
Dale Hellestray
I'll tell you when to stop.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll say when.
Aafion Crockett
Keep pouring.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. Not saying when.
Aafion Crockett
The thing is this. With. With money. Just give it to me every day.
John Holmberg
That's pretty. That's. Yeah. That's the whole point is if I give it to me, I'm every day. There won't be a bad day in that.
Dale Hellestray
There's.
John Holmberg
The only bad day is the day you don't give it to me.
Aafion Crockett
That's the only.
John Holmberg
That is true.
Dale Hellestray
Like, if I were to hand you a hundred dollar bill every day, would you. Like, would that bum you?
John Holmberg
Would I ever. Not one day would I ever not look forward to seeing.
Aafion Crockett
I'm not going to feel disrespected.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
In that. That's. It's a good day.
John Holmberg
All right, now I've got here in the diddy thing. I read an article yesterday about the diddy thing where the male prostitutes are now worried about their future. And then I noticed that they all were nickname.
Aafion Crockett
Because the Punisher, they're worried about their future in their business. Yeah, they want to stay in the business.
John Holmberg
They're worried that they have a target on their back, I think. Which they did in the first place. I think literally. Literally had a target on their back.
Aafion Crockett
A target and a man on it. Glizzy.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but that's their. Their. The nickname of the guy talking is like, I don't want anybody to know who I am. And then he calls himself the Punisher. I don't know if females have that kind of like the vice grip. Do they have nickname names, too? Who? Prostitutes, women. They don't. Do they?
Aafion Crockett
Why don't frequent?
John Holmberg
Oh, I was just asking. You've been to white parties. I was trying to trap you. Right.
Aafion Crockett
I know what to spend my money on.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I was trying to sting you on that. You walked right through it.
Aafion Crockett
Damn it.
John Holmberg
You were fast.
Dale Hellestray
Have you been with the Cave yet?
John Holmberg
Yeah, the Cave, the nicknames.
Dale Hellestray
I mean, like, what?
John Holmberg
Big Montana, me and all my guys.
Aafion Crockett
Can answer that one. It's cavernous.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Have you met Echo, the female prostitute? We have the meats was say, like. Yeah, I don't get it.
Aafion Crockett
We call her Arby's.
John Holmberg
If you're on crockets at Stand Up Live tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. All right, can you do. I hate to do this to you. Can you do the Chris Rock.
Aafion Crockett
You know what? I spoke to Chris Rock at a party one day recently, and I said, hey, man, does it ever offend you that I do the impression? He said, come on, man, I'm famous, man. Okay, you're supposed to. Okay, you're supposed to. Everybody know who I am, so. No, I'm getting offended, man. Keep doing it, man. Get your money, man.
John Holmberg
Okay. It's perfect.
Aafion Crockett
Crazy, man.
John Holmberg
It's perfect.
Aafion Crockett
Crazy.
John Holmberg
No one else should do it. I'm done with it. I'll never do it again.
Aafion Crockett
No, look, there's some. There's some good ones out there.
John Holmberg
Oh, there's good ones.
Aafion Crockett
I'm the originator of that version.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's perfect.
Aafion Crockett
And I always go on record as to say I learned how to do Chris Rotten impression from Sean Wayans when they hosted the MTV Video VMAs.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Him and Mark. Marlon. Sean opened up the show with doing Chris Rock. And it was the most brilliant, really, seven, eight minutes of opening dialogue ever. He's doing Chris Rock type jokes.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
You didn't see it.
John Holmberg
Just YouTube it as an impression. He's doing Chris's act, only not only new material.
Aafion Crockett
100%.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's awesome.
Aafion Crockett
Oh, my God. And he's calling out people in the audience like Britney Spears and all of them, Britney Spears. Britney Spears is here again.
John Holmberg
Oops.
Aafion Crockett
I did it again. Well, tell me what you did the first time. You can't sing. You know, you just all. I'm editing. I'm editing because I'm on the air, but Google it. Shawn Wayans, Chris Rock.
John Holmberg
And that was the one that unlocked it for you.
Aafion Crockett
That. That's the one that made me say, oh, that's how you do it. And that's my. One of my big brothers. So, you know, he. He has no issues with that.
John Holmberg
And here's the thing about you that people may not know, and this may sound insulting. It's not meant to.
Aafion Crockett
Go ahead, man.
John Holmberg
Insult me. Famous with famous people. You're probably more famous with famous people than you are us regulars.
Aafion Crockett
That's crazy. That's how accurate that is.
John Holmberg
It's weird because I see, like, every famous person. I go, Afian Crockett. I know. And I've seen you in videos with Will Smith and hanging out with these guys. And all these people are, like, best friends with you. And I'm like, why aren't you the biggest star in the world? Because you are amongst the stars.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. Because of the baby oil.
John Holmberg
Because you wouldn't do it. Not enough. You wouldn't blow.
Aafion Crockett
Don't do the baby oil.
John Holmberg
You refused to blow them.
Aafion Crockett
I'm comfortable being. Being unblowable and in my, you know, marginal public thing.
John Holmberg
You've had wonderful success.
Aafion Crockett
I've had great success.
John Holmberg
You are incredibly famous.
Dale Hellestray
I like this.
Aafion Crockett
Great.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Right. But sure, I'm not Kevin Hart level. Right. But he's blown too many guys don't say that. I can't. That's my friend.
John Holmberg
I say, of course he is. You're famous.
Aafion Crockett
Theme Kevin Hart. Like that. Yeah. I don't know why that is. I do have. I do have friends in high places.
John Holmberg
I saw you with Larry David. I'm like a Fen Crockett. Knows everything. Everybody. Everybody loves you. And, like, you should be the most famous guy in the. In the world.
Aafion Crockett
I should be. But you know what? At this point, just give me the money.
John Holmberg
That's right. Just keep paying.
Aafion Crockett
I am content with just the money and I. And being able to disappear. Give me 100 million.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
You'll probably never see me up here again.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Would you rather be like that and have the respect of all your peers beyond, like, measure, or have like, you know, a meteoric rise and fall? A ton of money?
Aafion Crockett
I would. You said a ton of money.
John Holmberg
You get a ton of money.
Aafion Crockett
The respect of money.
John Holmberg
No, you lose. Nobody, nobody famous or in your peer group likes you. They don't care. But you. I'm not like, going to say Dane Cook, but we're all talking about it like his. I like Dane Cook, but we all know what happened. It was above his pay grade. He's been in here since, and he's like, that was too much for me to handle. I didn't know I was doing, like, he had that jump to, holy crap, crazy. And then I don't.
Aafion Crockett
I don't want to rise and fall because if you notice anything about my career, I've been in the game since 95.
John Holmberg
It's been a long time.
Aafion Crockett
30 years.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Right. And so I've been able to progress every year and still be in the game and. And like you said, gain the respect of the top dogs in the game. So it's like, crazy. I'm still here. My journey is one of consistency. So I'd rather just have that. Like, I don't need it all. Yeah. Bernie Mac said that one time in an interview. He said, I don't want to be really hot for two years and then be not unknown again. I would rather be lukewarm for 20, 30 years. Because lukewarm means you're still here, you're still getting jobs, you're still halfway through it.
John Holmberg
Do you think afion in 1997 was. Would have said that?
Aafion Crockett
I don't think so. Aon in 1997 would have been like, I want to be the biggest star in the world. But that's. That's youthful, no matter how long it takes. Naivete.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's dumb. Yeah, it turns out it's dumb because.
Aafion Crockett
What happens is you start to meet these people who are at the top of the food chain and they're not always happy. Not saying all of them are, but they're not all. It's not what it's cracked up to be.
John Holmberg
Oh no. It's pressure.
Dale Hellestray
And sometimes though, something can pop that you'd never think. And all of a sudden it. That's that two year run where whether it's a character or something and you're pigeonholed in that.
John Holmberg
I think that's what Dan Cook said when he was here that time. He goes, dude, I was just doing my act. And the next thing you know it was exploding. And he goes, I didn't know that it was going to do that. And it went crazy. And then you start to think about the pressure to maintain that it's impossible. Right. So you can't do it.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, well, it depends on where you are in life. I'm not going to say that it's impossible to maintain. It's just for some people, it's just a different. We're all always in different places, places in life we don't know what someone's dealing with mentally, family wise. We just don't know. So I try not to judge anybody. It can happen to anybody.
John Holmberg
But that's where we're different.
Aafion Crockett
Exactly.
John Holmberg
Because I judge everybody immediately. Almost immediately.
Aafion Crockett
You definitely don't care.
John Holmberg
I don't.
Aafion Crockett
And I love that about you. You don't care. I have so much care that I still carry until I get on stage. When I'm on stage, I've seen that I'm a different person. I've seen that I go balls out on stage, stage. But in my day to day life, I'm very politically correct.
John Holmberg
You had something on your Instagram that was about a woman who you asked, what do you want more from men? And I, I paused it like, I haven't done that in a long time. The lady said, more energy.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And he goes, what? And she was like, what?
Aafion Crockett
And I was very kind.
John Holmberg
You were super nice at first.
Aafion Crockett
I want to know what you, what.
John Holmberg
The context was sexual or like when.
Aafion Crockett
You walk in the room, you want him to have more energy in greeting you. She said, nah, more energy in the bed.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
So then I'm still politically correct. I say, okay, is your man a hard working man? Because I'm thinking he doesn't have the energy because he's, he's bringing home the bacon.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
She's like, well, I'M single. But. And that's when it went.
John Holmberg
It was over. It was over. It's like, wait a minute. You want more energy in the bed and you're. And you're single. Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Get a man in the bed first.
John Holmberg
The line I love the most was, you're getting low energy. Club dick. That's your fault.
Aafion Crockett
That is on you.
John Holmberg
You. You getting low energy from this empathetic aon you're getting here. Goes away for about 90 minutes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Down a street.
Dale Hellestray
Who was the guy we were talking about earlier this week that he passed away, but he would break down the women.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. What the hell was his name? Kevin something. He was a dude.
Aafion Crockett
Kevin Samuels.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God, I love Kevin Samuels.
Aafion Crockett
No, Kevin Samuels.
John Holmberg
I just rediscovered Kevin Samuels here recently, and I started to get into that hole, and I'm like, my God, this is a dude.
Aafion Crockett
So. Which I don't realize. I used to do an impression of a version of him during the pandemic.
John Holmberg
Oh, really?
Aafion Crockett
Because he was always on IG Live.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
And had this big following and giving relationship advice.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
So I created this character, Dr. Devin Fontaine, who had the glasses and the gray beard.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
But just way more flamboyant than.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
Kevin Samuels. But it was all based on where.
John Holmberg
Yeah. What he was doing.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. What he was doing.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. Yeah. I've just gotten into that. But I've had moments and that I've been.
Dale Hellestray
What size dress are you?
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's a great.
Aafion Crockett
People don't like the truth.
John Holmberg
No.
Aafion Crockett
And you might. You might listen to him and say, man, that's. That's harsh. That's. But he's you. He just doesn't care.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You have to have a little of that. Well, if you're gonna. If you're gonna ask the question.
Dale Hellestray
He's stating reality in the fact that.
John Holmberg
I can give you the answer.
Dale Hellestray
See yourself as an eight.
John Holmberg
You're not. Yeah. But I can give you the answer you want or I can give you the truth.
Aafion Crockett
Which is it?
John Holmberg
Yeah, exactly. You pick it, because I'm giving you one. And if you.
Aafion Crockett
There's a reason why you're on my phone right now.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Aafion Crockett
With these relationship issues.
John Holmberg
There's a lady who called us the other day, and she said. She's 54. And she said something. And I said, well, because she was bragging about how good she looks. I'm like, what is it about you that looks so good? And she goes, I have great breasts. And I'm like, they've been augmented. And she goes, no, they're really big in their natural. I'm like, well, they're 54. Nothing. 54 year old. That has not been touched up. Hold on.
Aafion Crockett
Do we have time to take a caller?
John Holmberg
Would you like to. Would you like relationship advice with a fee on Crockett?
Aafion Crockett
All right, do it.
John Holmberg
We can do that. 585-900. If you want a feon to fix it, he can do that. You're going to get a call. It's not. You're. It's going to be surprising because these people are coming at you hot now. So when. If they. If they choose to be brave enough.
Aafion Crockett
They can't be coming at me any hotter than the city's already hot.
John Holmberg
That's true. It's a little warm. You picked a kind of a rotten weekend.
Aafion Crockett
It's a little. It's a little.
John Holmberg
You're not going to do anything and you're wearing a coat.
Aafion Crockett
Well, it's only because. Same reason he is. I'm under the AC right now.
John Holmberg
He's doing that because his doctor told him if he didn't. There's a lot of reason that cod. That's medicine. That's glizzy.
Aafion Crockett
That's glizzy.
John Holmberg
You want to see this lack of. Yeah, we'll take a caller for Aon Crockett right now and see. But yeah, I like that. But I told her I'm like if I had like a. A 1971 car and I told you it's never been touched up.
Brady Bogan
Right.
John Holmberg
It would be. It would be awful. 54 year old natural breasts that you're bragging about. Yeah, you can't. All right, we got. But I'd like to see them original. I could be wrong. I'm willing to admit. You know what?
Brady Bogan
You're.
John Holmberg
You're bucking the trend here. All right, let's see. We got a guy named Eric is online. Eric, are you there? I am, yes. All right, Eric, you're on with Afion Crockett. He wants to solve your life. Go ahead.
Dale Hellestray
Or the doctor.
John Holmberg
It's Dr. Afion. We'll go with that.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, we'll just go with Dr.
John Holmberg
Right. Right now, Eric, go ahead. I'm a 33 year old single dad.
Aafion Crockett
Single dad.
John Holmberg
Struggle to settle down. Because my interest. I do, I do. But everything that follows falls across my lap. That's good. Is my age. But then, no, everything that. That is good that works out for me is 23 with no kids. But then everyone tells me that I should find myself someone within my 30 year old range 23. 33 is not bad.
Aafion Crockett
No, it's not. What makes you. That's what you should be focused on. You should stop listening to other people. How old is your kid?
John Holmberg
She's 10.
Aafion Crockett
She's 10. Oh, okay. She's a little adult. So it's not like the kid is doodling everywhere and throwing on the wall. So she's kind of self contained. So that shouldn't be a relationship deterrent. Unless every woman that's walking in the door, she's like, you ain't my damn mama, you know, and then she becomes that kid. So we got the kid out the way. So. So where's the problem? You saying you, you like the hoes?
John Holmberg
And, and let me add this in real quick. You're the, you're the father of this child, right? Yeah. I'm assuming. I'm just. I'm just making sure. It's modern day. You never know. Allegedly. Yes. So you only have the kid every two weeks?
Aafion Crockett
Oh, what's the arrangement? Is she with you full time?
John Holmberg
You only get her every other weekend. 50. 50. 50.
Aafion Crockett
50.
John Holmberg
So you have whole weeks off to bang the 20 year olds that you like?
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. Where's the problem? You have a good life.
John Holmberg
You're screwing this up yourself.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, you're the problem, sir.
John Holmberg
But the one thing the. The one thing that when I try to find someone that is my own age, I can't find one that has no kids. It's always going to be a 30 something year old with three or four baby daddies. Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
So it sounds like you're having a good time with these 20 somethings.
John Holmberg
I don't.
Aafion Crockett
I've yet to see where the problem is.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. Unless.
Dale Hellestray
Unless you're the one that wants to find the 30 year old.
John Holmberg
You're making your own drama.
Aafion Crockett
That sounds like peer pressure. Yeah, it sounds like people from his church are like, hey Eric, you need to find a good girl who's in your age range and who knows how to read.
John Holmberg
Are you a Mormon, Eric? I am not a Mormon. What is your religion? I think Apheon nailed it. I don't go to church. You're just doing this to yourself without like God pressure. This is dumb. That's your fault.
Aafion Crockett
You're the problem, Eric.
John Holmberg
It's you.
Aafion Crockett
I solved it.
John Holmberg
I'm the problem. Yeah, go drive around ASU and do your work, my friend. I actually, I'm actually down the street from ASU. Of course you are. Of course you are.
Aafion Crockett
IDs. And you're good Bro.
John Holmberg
That's right.
Dale Hellestray
Get rid of the white van.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's a little weird. Don't do that. All right. Thanks, Eric. All right. Eric likes.
Aafion Crockett
And the baby old. No, no baby.
John Holmberg
Now. We're gonna keep going. People think you're gonna solve their lives.
Aafion Crockett
Get to it.
John Holmberg
Split up. All right. Sean is on the line. Sean, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. All right, you're on with a. On crockety. Solving the world's problems. Go ahead. Hey, how's it going? All right, so I'm 50 years old. My girl is 42.
Aafion Crockett
Good.
John Holmberg
We have a kid together and stuff. But it's like, I want her to be a lot freakier. And she's like real button down, conservative. Okay? So I don't know what to do about that.
Aafion Crockett
Was there ever a moment when she was freaky? When y' all met, was she ever freaky and then she just kind of switched up after the kid? Or was she always like that and your dumb ass knew it and still went for it? Still went for it?
John Holmberg
Well, no, she. She was kind of freaky. She wasn't like, like freaky freaky, but. But she'd get down. And now it's like she. She just wants to, like, I don't know, just do it normal and somebody else do it normal.
Dale Hellestray
He's going through a midlife.
John Holmberg
I'll read between the lines. Do it normal means the butt's out of play. It used to be sort of like a birthday Christmas thing. I picked.
Aafion Crockett
I picked up something else.
John Holmberg
What do you got?
Aafion Crockett
She's smashing somebody else.
John Holmberg
Oh, is that possible? No, no, no. Why is that not possible? Yeah, of course not, my girl.
Aafion Crockett
Maybe not mine.
John Holmberg
You haven't seen my glizzy. No, no, no, no, no. Anything like that. She's a stay at home mom and she's always home with the kids and stuff. So she really.
Aafion Crockett
Have you met the mailman?
John Holmberg
She would have to be a magician. Oh, it could be. Maybe.
Aafion Crockett
Here's what I'm saying.
John Holmberg
My son is. My son is a pretty big kid. And I'm not.
Aafion Crockett
Don't, don't be. Don't be fooled by the stay at home mom thing, right? How. How many hours are you out of the house per day?
John Holmberg
About 12.
Aafion Crockett
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Plenty of time.
Aafion Crockett
Glizzy Town. She's going to Glizzy Town with somebody else. And by the time you get to her, she's wore out.
Dale Hellestray
So she got a glizzy.
Aafion Crockett
She is like, all right, you go. I'm gonna lay down on my back.
John Holmberg
You Know what, though?
Aafion Crockett
Do what you do.
John Holmberg
Let me find this silver lining. Silver lining is she is freaky. You're getting your wish. She is completely freaky. Just not when you're home.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
John Holmberg
Else.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, yeah, Sean. Here's the thing, Sean, you may not know this, but women get freakier as they get older. This is the thing. They get. They get better with age. Okay? So you. You did something wrong. I don't know what you did.
John Holmberg
You.
Aafion Crockett
You pissed her off, you neglected some things, and now she's bone in the Amazon delivery guy.
John Holmberg
That's exactly it. I think he's right.
Aafion Crockett
She ain't ordered nothing off Amazon in three years.
John Holmberg
Sean, let me ask you this. When you say you want her to get freaky, what's, like, top of the list? Like, what's the thing? You're like, this will be the first.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. What's missing off the menu?
John Holmberg
What's. Yeah. What aren't you getting? I don't know. Maybe a threesome. Or. Or, hey, that's easy. The Amazon guy shows up at 3. You should just come home early one day. There you go.
Aafion Crockett
I don't think that's the threesome. He had it.
John Holmberg
No, I don't either.
Aafion Crockett
He wants the one glizzy. The one glizzy, Max.
John Holmberg
So you'd like to bring another one of her. Here's another. Now, there's new, new rules. So you've got your eye on someone else, and you want to bring her in and not get in trouble.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, Sean's the problem. He wants too much.
John Holmberg
Just bring someone home. Oh, you want her to go get a like. Well, she's sitting around doing nothing with the kids all day. So you think she can't be cheating on you, but you think she's got enough time in the day to go pick up a girl, right?
Aafion Crockett
Your expectations. Your expectations are not realistic.
John Holmberg
Yeah, Sean, they're not at all.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, you're the problem.
John Holmberg
All right, well, I guess the Cosby solution is all you've got left. All right, Good luck, Sean. She ain't gonna get free with him. She's already doing. I think you're right. All right, try another one. One more. Joe is on the line. Joe, what's wrong with your life? And let Aeon Crockett fix it. Yo, what's going on, guys? So I got this unique situation here. I. I had a good job, right?
Aafion Crockett
That was making good money.
John Holmberg
Went to court with. With my baby mama, and they.
Aafion Crockett
She tried to get.
John Holmberg
I lost that job. She tried to get me to get.
Aafion Crockett
Pinned on for that. That income. She recently just lost her job, and now she's trying to get me to.
John Holmberg
Let go of all the child support.
Aafion Crockett
That she now owes because she made too much money.
John Holmberg
What would you do?
Aafion Crockett
Wait, run that back.
Dale Hellestray
So he had the money and she was tapping his income, but he. You lost a job, she got a good job. Now it's reversed around. So she's paying you, but now she.
John Holmberg
Just lost her job, Right?
Aafion Crockett
Yeah, exactly. When you lost your job, she was trying to tax you and still make you pay.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And she was.
Aafion Crockett
Now she's trying to weasel out of her obligations now.
John Holmberg
Right, exactly, exactly.
Aafion Crockett
Legally, she's obligated to pay you.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
So if she's trying to now butter up and rub on your glizzy, he's saying, come on, let's just let it go for now. Nah, I'm gonna keep that same energy is what we say in the black community. Keep that same energy you had when I lost mine and you wanted all the money. Now you. You lose your little job.
John Holmberg
Pay me.
Aafion Crockett
Pay me what you owe me. Keep that same energy.
John Holmberg
Hell yeah. And on top of that, she even.
Aafion Crockett
Threw it in my face that she would always make more money with her job than she. Than I'd ever make with mine. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
John Holmberg
How much money is she making now?
Aafion Crockett
You know, exactly zero.
John Holmberg
He's got. You gave him the energy. Did you hear that?
Brady Bogan
He load up.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. Point to your glizzy. But how much making now, huh? What are you talking about?
John Holmberg
Over here?
Aafion Crockett
Go, go. Full on Joe Pesi on the son.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Get yours.
John Holmberg
Hey, what are you talking about over here, huh? Are you, Are you. Are you currently still doing stuff with her, though? No, no, it's. It's been some years. You hate. You guys hate each other.
Aafion Crockett
Yeah. Do you have some new joints? You got some new joints in. In the lineup?
John Holmberg
Working on something. Working on something, man. She listens, though, so she might be. She might be honest right now. You know what I'm saying? She's listening. She understands your situation. It' of unique. So she's.
Aafion Crockett
He's laying next to her.
John Holmberg
He can't. He can't say. Can't say hello.
Aafion Crockett
I heard. I'm out here.
John Holmberg
I'm out here cutting off people's water. Ain't paying the bills, man.
Aafion Crockett
Oh, okay. Oh, so you got. There you go. Go to your ex's house and cut off the water.
John Holmberg

John Holmberg
Yeah. You can provide, like, her. Her cleanliness or her swamp ass. It's all up to. You're like. You're like. Like Gandalf right now with that. That little pole you use.
Aafion Crockett
Gandalf.
John Holmberg

It's going down.
John Holmberg

Aafion Crockett
Maya Angelou.
John Holmberg
Because you're Maya Angelou.
Aafion Crockett
As soon as I started doing it, a bunch of copycats sprung up.
John Holmberg
Hilarious. Yeah. Nobody should. Yeah. Nobody should copy your Maya Angelou.
Aafion Crockett
No, they should leave it alone. But. But it is what it is. It's all love. Yes. Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya. A grown man should not be able to do my voice. But he is. He's doing it. He's doing it well. He's doing it like a phenomenal woman. Phenomenal woman.
John Holmberg
Hey. Yeah, it's great.
Brady Bogan
And it's hard to, like, push that.
John Holmberg
On to people saying, you don't know how good that is. Yeah.
Aafion Crockett
What are you gonna say? Is it a party conversation?
John Holmberg
Like, yeah, you know.
Aafion Crockett
You know, I got a good. A great mind.
John Holmberg
I got a good mind.
Aafion Crockett
I got a killer Maya Angelou impression. What are you doing after this?
John Holmberg
Not moving, though. It's not.
Aafion Crockett
Let's go get some food and let me drop this. My own.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And not a lot of women who would be impressed by that are really the ones that are gonna go jump right into bed. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure the Maya Angelou feminist is the one that's gonna really enjoy that. To the point.
Aafion Crockett
But I'm willing. I'm willing to try.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Always Try it. Afion Crockett at Stand Up Live tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. Leave us with words of wisdom. What do you got? You already done enough.
Aafion Crockett
I've done enough?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I think that's it. Those are your words of wisdom? I've done enough.
Aafion Crockett
I've done my job.
John Holmberg
I shall fight no more forever.
Aafion Crockett
Cut the water off.
John Holmberg
That's a beautiful thing. 8 fee on Crockett, everybody. It's 98.
Aafion Crockett
It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually.
John Holmberg
No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
Aafion Crockett
Morning sickness.
John Holmberg
You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Three time world champion Dale Hel is in the room right now. Welcome, Dale. Dallas Cowboy.
Brady Bogan
How come I don't hear anything?
John Holmberg
I don't know. What are you doing wrong? I don't know.
Dale Hellestray
It's your own fault.
Brady Bogan
Oh, there we go.
John Holmberg
There you go.
Brady Bogan
There we go. That knuckleheaded comedian.
John Holmberg
You didn't hear me introduce you as three time world champion.
Brady Bogan
Thank you.
John Holmberg
Dale Hel of the Dallas Cowboys also played for the Ravens and the Raiders and the Bills and didn't anything there but three time world champ.
Brady Bogan
I got the AC championship game in Buffalo.
John Holmberg
With Buffalo and. Yeah, but didn't get it. Didn't quite finish her off there, did you?
Brady Bogan
Would you be happy with an AC championship game this year for Pittsburgh if they lost it?
John Holmberg
Yeah. No.
Brady Bogan
They get there.
John Holmberg
Second place sucks. Third place is last.
Brady Bogan
So you rather miss the playoffs? You.
John Holmberg
And if you're not going to go all the way, what do you do?
Brady Bogan
And your little bed buddy?
John Holmberg
You're setting me up for my first question. You're absolutely right. If you're not going to win it all, it's a failed season.
Brady Bogan
Do you realize how many people have actually won a super.
John Holmberg
I know there are very few successes in the NFL. I agree. Most all are failures.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
And if you're just happy being there, wow. So be it. Wow. I guess if you. I guess if winning the division is enough for you, congratulations.
Brady Bogan
Doesn't that make it for a fun season for a fan though?
John Holmberg
Up until that thing where they are. Yeah. I mean that branded as failures get.
Dale Hellestray
All the way to the Super Bowl.
John Holmberg
I mean, you win a lot and you get branded as a Super bowl loser. Failed season.
Brady Bogan
I. I like to ask some of my buddies who've played in Buffalo and in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh, they've got champions and I like to Ask him. I go, what? Well, what's the super bowl loser party like? Oh, you know, I mean, what is that?
John Holmberg
Do they have the party?
Brady Bogan
Yeah, they do.
John Holmberg
Oh, well, that's miserable.
Brady Bogan
I was just telling the story because when we came out here for the super bowl, you know, Jerry Jones went to the city of Tempe. We were staying at the beach. Oh, yeah, you told me that. And, and got the drinking hours changed.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Because everything closed at one back. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
You're planning on winning. Blah, blah, blah. Like.
John Holmberg
No, but it can backfire because like what Oklahoma City did for game six or seven of the championship game against the, the Pacers, they parked the buses, they were going to do in the parade that had Oklahoma City Thunder world champions wrapped already down by the Pacers locker room. And you know, had not Halberton blown his leg up, there's a good chance that would have been it. And here's how I know. Only the super bowl winner is successful and it's a failed season. Never go in the locker room of the losing team and have them going. That was great. We had a great time out there. Made it to the Super Bowl. What a season.
Brady Bogan
No, but it might.
John Holmberg
They're miserable.
Brady Bogan
After a week you're, you're sav. Yeah.
John Holmberg
When you start to sav your lies.
Brady Bogan
But, but I'm saying. So let me finish story. So he was, he went to the Tempe City council and, and said we, we need to get drinking hours extended. And everybody in the media like, oh, he's getting ready for a party. And Bubba. Well, you don't. Middle of the fourth quarter, go. Oh, we got a 14 point lead. Let's throw it together. Let's throw together party. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's this.
John Holmberg
And I was actually at that thing and I remember Jerry Jones going and going. My long snapper is an alcoholic. We need to make him happy till.
Brady Bogan
Four in the morning act actually, cuz I don't think we got there till 10:30, 11:00 clock at least. And, and, and, and Barry was pretty hammered.
John Holmberg
That. Oh, Switzer. Yeah, well, he was hammered during the game. Right? You didn't need him at all.
Brady Bogan
No, not a whole lot. Not a whole lot. Super nice guy though.
John Holmberg
Serious. A wonderful guy.
Brady Bogan
Probably my favorite good drinking buddy. He actually knew your family.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Brady Bogan
Jimmy didn't.
John Holmberg
I'm gonna need a wild amount of crack and prostitutes and ain't that to last till 4 in the morning.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And you got us. Was there a lot of drug use at your super bowl parties?
Brady Bogan
I don't know.
John Holmberg
But I had statue limitations. Is up. You can say.
Brady Bogan
I don't. Well, again, it was. You didn't. And I've told you this before. The White House.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
There are certain guys who didn't even know about the White House.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Because we were not.
John Holmberg
Which was the sex. The sex domicile. That was right across from your practice.
Brady Bogan
You could see it.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Albert Harper pointed out that. That's it. I'm like. I never even knew it was there. But I. I was never gonna get invited. So the drugs. I'm. I'm sure there were some going. I'm sure they let some slappies in, like, you know, the Holbergs or whatever.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Brady Bogan
And.
John Holmberg
And then Dale Dhell was at the ouse party, which was pretty cool. You were allowed in that.
Brady Bogan
But I had a good friend who. We're still buddies today from about 8 years old. He's gonna get me drunk. That was his thing. He's get me drunk on. Because you don't, you know, you don't eat.
John Holmberg
And.
Brady Bogan
And. Yeah. So he's buying triple Jack Daniels and not buying. Getting triple Jack and cokes. But the idiot was getting himself a triple Jack and coke. So he went down before.
John Holmberg
Way before.
Brady Bogan
Go on. That had to be a fun part.
John Holmberg
Dale. Hell street series brought to you by our friends at prestige billiards. Prestige billiards. AZ.com if you've gone to Kevin yet and you've met him, you didn't get your game room room straightened out. He does grills. He does all the toys and the games. He put a pool table in my rental house. A beautiful thing.
Brady Bogan
Did you help him carry the slate?
John Holmberg
I did. I did. I did. This time. I helped him carry the slate.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yep. I had my finger on it. Like, it's going over here.
Brady Bogan
Was it on a dolly?
John Holmberg
Yeah. And it was like. And put it over there. And he had his son there, too, so I didn't want to get in the son's way.
Brady Bogan
Okay.
John Holmberg
Kid needs to learn, right?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And plus, I wasn't getting paid. I was paying for this. Why am I doing all the heavy lifting? So bring it in there. Yeah. So he'll get you. Gets you hooked up.
Brady Bogan
And he is built like a slate carrier.
John Holmberg
I think that's how he got built.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Kevin's a good dude, but he's getting everything. He's getting furniture. I didn't know that he got furniture for my rental. Like, game room. It's awesome. So go to prestige billiards. A.com and buy what Dale has not bought cuz he's too cheap so far. Now speaking of cheap, before we get into real, I want to talk sports with you. You started giving Brady a little grief. Yes, about trans. You asked what did we do on our vacation?
Brady Bogan
And we.
John Holmberg
I don't do anything.
Brady Bogan
Go to Vegas.
John Holmberg
I don't go anywhere. I might for my birthday, but I'm not sure.
Brady Bogan
When's your birthday?
John Holmberg
Oh, yours is tomorrow. I just realized. Happy birthday. Dale. Dale, what are you. What are you doing for your birthday?
Brady Bogan
My wife put together little shindig, I guess there's this game show place where you go and play games.
John Holmberg
Oh, so real safe, family fun.
Brady Bogan
Well, it's family.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I mean, but we're not staying in the same hotel room or anything.
John Holmberg
Getting something.
Brady Bogan
My 30 year old daughter staying with me.
John Holmberg
So you found it as equally strange that Brady took two 16 year old girls to San Diego and slept in the room with them?
Brady Bogan
I think it was the, the nonchalantness that he said. Yeah. Why am I gonna get them a room?
John Holmberg
Why would I get them a room? He said to you. Because you even said, why didn't you get him a room? Why would I get them a room if I, if.
Brady Bogan
If I have Hillary and Kendall? They're 33 and 30. But if they're 16, 17 years old, they're bringing a friend.
John Holmberg
You don't want them to smell your ass, cuz that's what you'd be blowing farts on them.
Brady Bogan
Hey, what are you doing? I mean, what are you turning away and looking away? Because they're changing.
John Holmberg
And that's what I said. Poor girl was a hostage.
Brady Bogan
That's weird.
Dale Hellestray
I already had it booked. She asked she could bring a friend last minute. Ronnie wasn't going, so I said sure.
John Holmberg
And then you got to get him. You could have said yes.
Dale Hellestray
I couldn't afford a second.
Brady Bogan
They don't pay enough here.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, it's true. He's. He's struggling right now. I mean he can still afford. He can still afford. Take a stranger's kid all the way to San Diego and pay for everything.
Brady Bogan
What did the other parents say? Yeah, you're rooming with my daughter?
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, 16, they requested she can go as long as she rooms with us.
John Holmberg
A Mormon community.
Brady Bogan
So I mean, I mean, 16, it's one thing. Is there six, seven, eight.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you have to keep in the room, right? Legally, like they're.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, but 16, are you walking around? What? In shorts, no shirt? Are you nothing?
Dale Hellestray
I sleep new in your skin.
John Holmberg
God, that's still nothing to say.
Brady Bogan
That's a sight.
John Holmberg
Don't worry about it. It just looks like a guy.
Brady Bogan
Oh, there's a lot to see. Just not what you want.
John Holmberg
No genitals. Don't worry about that. You're not going to see anything dirty. No, you're right. I need. How did you walk through the room?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Always shirt. Always clothed. Yeah. Like you just never wore super comf.
Brady Bogan
Do you sleep at night with your shirt off?
John Holmberg
Yeah. You drop top with this girl. Oh, that's so awkward.
Dale Hellestray
I would say her name and then take my shirt off.
John Holmberg
Dale, your daughter would your daughters go to their six go back in time to when they were 16 and Brady and his daughter want to take your daughter over to San Diego and you find out he was in the room topless.
Brady Bogan
First question. Other two rooms.
John Holmberg
First and only question and I'll kick in. Where were the parents of her? Like saying hey if you're going to take her because she's last minute, we'll kick in for another room because we know that's weird and we don't want her sleeping with you. They didn't even offer.
Dale Hellestray
No.
Brady Bogan
Now hold on. You got one room. So did you get a king size bed?
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, I got a no. 1 twin. I made them like they want a king. I go, no twin. Two queens.
John Holmberg
Yeah. It's weird. And.
Dale Hellestray
And a pull out couch.
John Holmberg
Like she didn't want to sleep with Kirby. Did you get comfy taking the shirt off?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And just go, here it is. Cl Glorious.
Dale Hellestray
Well, they already. It was already. Everyone was already asleep. You kind of fall asleep and then.
John Holmberg
You wake up and take it off.
Brady Bogan
But you wake up in the morning.
John Holmberg
And then you wake up and your clothes are.
Dale Hellestray
I'm up.
John Holmberg
They sleep in Brady. Okay, but Caitlyn went to sleep and then you took your clothes off and then. So if she woke up tomorrow.
Dale Hellestray
The other night I kept. I didn't take the shirt because I did that. I had to change that up a little bit.
John Holmberg
But she like she walks by in the middle of night to go peek. All girls do. And sees a naked corpse. Their.
Dale Hellestray
Their bed was close to the bathroom. They never got up at night.
John Holmberg
But she still got a glimpse of it. And she's still having nightmares. Like that is awful.
Dale Hellestray
Again, core memory.
Brady Bogan
Did you even think about this? Like as you're driving?
Aafion Crockett
No, I didn't.
Dale Hellestray
I didn't think about that at all.
John Holmberg
You got to think they're right and.
Dale Hellestray
It'S right on the bubble. I'm like, okay, well if we do it next year. Maybe I will.
John Holmberg
No, I don't think maybe.
Dale Hellestray
But, but next year might be a verbo. Because we did that one year. She brought a phone, I got a house.
John Holmberg
But I'll tell you this right now. He would do this again next year if it wasn't for the ridicule he received immediately upon finding out.
Dale Hellestray
I'll do the same thing.
John Holmberg
That he was human trafficking. He was human trafficking. A while.
Dale Hellestray
There'll be four of us in there.
John Holmberg
This is the defense mechanism that Brady right here is that he's trying to.
Dale Hellestray
But we did it the year before too.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, but.
John Holmberg
And, and you had your wife there, which is four weirder. Here's the other thing. And I don't know if this still goes on. Both of you guys probably have a spot. I, I, I actually do suffer from this. I don't know if you two do anymore. Probably not. You know, nocturnal boners that you wake up with a huge raging array.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, no, I didn't.
John Holmberg
You don't have that anymore.
Dale Hellestray
That didn't happen.
John Holmberg
I have it.
Brady Bogan
I, I was okay. I was okay with theory, but not a huge one.
John Holmberg
I wake up on the couch sometimes. I'm like, jesus, what have we had company? Like it just comes screaming out and that's.
Dale Hellestray
I've never.
John Holmberg
You don't get those.
Dale Hellestray
No, I have gotten them, but I didn't recently.
John Holmberg
You're supposed to get one every night. That's you're supposed to get.
Dale Hellestray
Maybe I've slept through one, but I have. I don't get one.
John Holmberg
You can't sleep through mine. Mine taps me on my shoulder.
Dale Hellestray
Last. Last night.
John Holmberg
Oh, my.
Dale Hellestray
Last night. I remember.
Brady Bogan
Oh, my Lord.
John Holmberg
Oh, it's terrible. Sometimes it feels like it's going to rip through the skin. It's like one of those sausages, like in those pack. And I was like, how is it?
Brady Bogan
The little weird.
John Holmberg
No, no. How's it packed in there?
Dale Hellestray
So why can't that guy show up all the time?
John Holmberg
Yeah, where's that guy ever? Like, sometimes it's like the top of it works and the middle's not right or vice versa.
Brady Bogan
But what I want to know is when you sat down on the bed to get ready to go to bed, did you even think about not taking your shirt off? Did you think this is a little.
Dale Hellestray
No, I thought about. Yeah, I kept it on for the most part. And then I woke up, you know, like two in the morning.
John Holmberg
And then took your pants off.
Dale Hellestray
I took everything off.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Good Lord. You had one of those weird boners. Yes, I Couldn't do that. Just for the fear that my. My massive erect be noticeable by the. Even my daughter. I don't want her in there for that.
Dale Hellestray
But you're. Yeah, it's different. It.
John Holmberg
No, it's not. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
You said they were closer to the bathroom, but I know you have to get up in the middle of night. Yeah, that's a. That's the thing with the bathroom. One bathroom?
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Two girls and you.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Did you go dumpless for a couple days?
John Holmberg
That's what he tried to sell us on that.
Brady Bogan
Or did you go down to the lobby?
John Holmberg
Went down the lobby once I lobby once.
Dale Hellestray
She would go to the lobby.
John Holmberg
You have to call the authorities. And then she'd get nabbed and pulled back into the room.
Brady Bogan
Really?
John Holmberg
Because.
Brady Bogan
Well, we need to meet her.
John Holmberg
Then she dropped some serious ass. He lied about this. He's not going to tell you the truth later. The truth will, because I asked him. I'm like, you poop in the middle of the night, late night. You used to talk about that all the time. And he said no, not anymore. Don't do that anymore. And then later in the story, he's like once at 2 in the morning. So that girl had to inhale Brady's.
Brady Bogan
Really?
John Holmberg
Yeah, Brady's Dew.
Brady Bogan
And you're making noise and usually the fans don't drown out the sound and everything.
Dale Hellestray
Stealth. It was very stealthy, believe me. No explosion. It was smooth saucer.
Brady Bogan
So seriously, the parents were okay. The stains in the toilet?
John Holmberg
Yeah. You left stains in the toilet.
Brady Bogan
They get up in the morning.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, I left it on there.
John Holmberg
Boy. Yeah, this is.
Brady Bogan
And her parents were okay with it?
Dale Hellestray
Absolutely.
John Holmberg
No they weren't.
Brady Bogan
See because they.
John Holmberg
That and we had a black asked.
Brady Bogan
I.
John Holmberg
He's defending Dale. You can't get it. You can't get around his. His normalizing.
Dale Hellestray
I have fun with me on vacation.
John Holmberg
I mean well, because we're adults we could. But as a 16 year old girl. As a 16 year old girl lives down the road. I shouldn't have fun with you on vacation. That shouldn't happen ever. I shouldn't relate to you. I shouldn't want to do the same things as you. And I certainly shouldn't want to sleep in the same hotel as you at all.
Dale Hellestray
Really wasn't that big of a deal.
Brady Bogan
But okay. So what you guys do? Of course, not in your mind, not.
John Holmberg
To you, but to the world. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
What you guys do?
Aafion Crockett
We.
Dale Hellestray
I rented a boat one day and.
John Holmberg
Took him into the international waters and got Newport beach.
Dale Hellestray
Went to Newport and Went around the.
Brady Bogan
So you could have a boat in.
John Holmberg
Lieu of the room he's just left in the boat. Just dumped off the edge. Anyway. He normalizes the Very unusual. I was glad to see your face when you. When he said that he did. Did that. You're like.
Brady Bogan
I would not see that. The same room.
John Holmberg
That was Dale's first. What?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
I didn't think anything of it.
John Holmberg
But you should have. Yeah. And most pedophiles don't, but, I mean, that's when we have to draw.
Brady Bogan
I feel their parents thought about.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
I. I can. You know, they didn't say anything to me.
John Holmberg
That is weird, too.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
That's too trusting of a name. Yes. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I would not allow.
John Holmberg
Would you let. Yeah. Would you let Kirby?
Dale Hellestray
You would.
John Holmberg
No, no.
Brady Bogan
Not in 100 years.
John Holmberg
That's just weird. I wouldn't put you.
Dale Hellestray
My daughter went on vacation with your family.
Brady Bogan
We get another room.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You're not sleeping with Dale.
Dale Hellestray
Didn't if you. If I figured the. Yeah. The kids. I mean, it depends how there. How many there were. There's three of us.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Two of them get a room and you get a room. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
That way you can.
John Holmberg
You're not going to divide it up where I didn't think it was.
Dale Hellestray
I didn't think it would be that uncomfortable for them. And maybe I'm making a. The air. Well, it.
John Holmberg
You found out it was 16, 17. No, 16's not okay. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Dale Hellestray
I don't know that I mean. But it was no different from when we go on vacation. My family.
John Holmberg
There'd be.
Brady Bogan
Yes, it's another person's.
John Holmberg
And I'd have a friend, a stranger that would stay with your family in the same room.
Dale Hellestray
No, I'd bring a friend on vacation.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And you would stay in the same room with your parents.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah, sometimes 16 in high school.
John Holmberg
I can't imagine trying to think of a. Your parents would want their own privacy, wouldn't they?
Dale Hellestray
We did it both times.
Brady Bogan
And you're sharing a bed in high school with another dude.
John Holmberg
There's that too. No, no, we didn't do that. There's. You're right, Dale. I missed that part.
Dale Hellestray
You get to pull away usually in the room.
John Holmberg
And so everybody.
Dale Hellestray
But then you think about. Yeah, that's different when it's teens because you think about what they do. What you do on spring break or fall break. You're all cramming into. There'd be six people in a room.
John Holmberg
Yeah. But not your parents or someone else.
Dale Hellestray
I know.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That's the weird thing, right? Yeah. Anyway. You're a strange young man. Thanks for. Thanks for all that. It is odd.
Brady Bogan
Hey Johnny. Are you Shane Sudra?
John Holmberg
Let me tell you this. Hold on. I know for a fact if my dad stayed in a room with my 16 year old sister at and her friends there would have been problems.
Brady Bogan
There have been fireworks.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Cause her friends were ridiculous. Like she was friends with Stephanie Seymour, the old model in like eighth grade. She came to our house and so she had friends on that caliber for a little while. And my dad wasn't even allowed in the house when her friends were. Well he would stand in the window and watch them swim and stuff. And then I'd be like what are you doing? Get out of here. And then I'd look out the window and the two of us just be standing there like American gothic painting. Just staring. Standing up. Went and looking at this 1980s rock video in our backyard. So I know for a fact.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Dan wouldn't have been able to. Wouldn't have been allowed to do that.
Brady Bogan
No, I, I, I just think six. There's an age cut off.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
At 16.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
It's a little old.
John Holmberg
Yeah. So next time. Now. Now.
Brady Bogan
You know, now.
Dale Hellestray
But what I want looks like no friends for Kirby.
John Holmberg
No, she can still have friends.
Dale Hellestray
Just you like in a second room.
John Holmberg
You're too cheap not to look like a pervert. Like you're paying to. Not like you're not helping them. You're helping you. And don't you want private time?
Brady Bogan
You see, that's what I.
John Holmberg
That's me. I would like, I'd like. You know.
Brady Bogan
Don't you want to be. Don't you like to get in your underwear and just hang out?
John Holmberg
So to speak? You know, give yourself a tug.
Brady Bogan
Little espn.
John Holmberg
Yeah, give yourself a tug. Whatever you want to watch. And give yourself a T. Didn't you feel like. Give myself a tug and get some good sleep. Get rid of these three.
Dale Hellestray
Three day video vacation with.
John Holmberg
That's ten. My daughter and her friend and we'll.
Dale Hellestray
And we'll have a fun time.
Brady Bogan
And you snuck into the bathroom.
Dale Hellestray
We'll have a gay old time.
Brady Bogan
He snuck into the bathroom at 2am to take a dump. And you don't.
Dale Hellestray
There's no sneaking.
Brady Bogan
There's no stinking.
John Holmberg
Yeah, Claude. Make way ladies. It's happening. At least it was a long room anyway.
Dale Hellestray
Bathrooms.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's gross as well. Nobody wants to smell.
Brady Bogan
What I want to know is the suns sent you a season ticket invoice. We're.
John Holmberg
Oh my God. We're getting into this, dad.
Brady Bogan
Somebody's got to pay it.
John Holmberg
All right, we're getting into this. Dale Hellster. Now I want to talk about sports, for Christ's sake. You bothered Brady enough about his perversions and it's time to move on. Yeah, I'm with you on that one though.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Hey, Brady, can I take your daughter and her friend?
Dale Hellestray
You know, you guys, you did it. I'm gonna get a. Yeah. Second room.
John Holmberg
Wouldn't it be weird if I just did that? There's like. Just stayed in the room with Caitlyn in two different beds.
Dale Hellestray
What do you mean just you all on vacation.
John Holmberg
And I'm like, hey, Caitlyn, why don't you just. Oh, I do know her. I know her as well as.
Dale Hellestray
You know, if it was just you and Caitlyn.
John Holmberg
And it's like Caitlyn gets a bed and I get a bed and because that's just the way it's worked out. She's a last minute replacement. I got an extra bed. She can stay in my room.
Dale Hellestray
I would go in your room.
John Holmberg
No, no, no. You're staying with Kirby and Ronnie and the whole gang.
Dale Hellestray
Mix it up.
John Holmberg
Or you'd rather have. And here's another thing I wouldn't do. If you're like, oh, Kirby and Caitlyn can have your room and you can stay with us. I'd be like, ah, yourself. No, that's not happening.
Brady Bogan
John here one queen bad.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I'm not doing that, Brady. I shared a. I shared a room with him once in Vegas. And it was a big suite and it had a living room and a bed and two bathrooms with jet tubs. First thing the angel does is take a jet bath and he runs and you. And then. So this was before. Before CPAP came into his life.
Dale Hellestray
Cal gone.
John Holmberg
So, yeah, he got taken away. He crawls into bed, into the big king sized bed. I'm sleeping on the couch, which was fine by me, right? And I'm down on the. It's a big room. And all I hear is like that dude's dying. And then it kind of little snoring. And then I kind of calm through it and like, okay, at least it's consistent. It's nice noise. And then suddenly from the bathroom, he left the jets on and it had drained, right? So it starts blowing jets.
Dale Hellestray
It's on a timer, but the timer wasn't switching.
John Holmberg
And he was in there and then not in the bathroom, but it was his bath. And he goes, what's that? I'm like, I don't know. It sounds like the bath jets.
Dale Hellestray
Oh, it woke the king up.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And then he goes, right. He didn't even get up to fix it. It was just going to be a noise we all dealt with.
Brady Bogan
Well, what is so weird? See, when you talk about you guys really rooming together.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I, I room with my brother on a trip. We went to see Ohio State football game. And I made a decision very quickly.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
When he came walking out of the bathroom in his shorts and no shirt. And I said, no. I walked down to the front desk. I need my own room. I can't see this.
John Holmberg
Brady and Randy Johnson shared a room room once.
Brady Bogan
R the picture.
John Holmberg
Yes. Those two cheap bastards laid together in.
Dale Hellestray
A Best Western, booked the room. And he says, you get a room. And I go, yeah, I, you know, Ontario, California. Best Western.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Like it was decent. So I booked the room. I go, it's. It's 99 bucks a night. And so if you want me to get you one. Oh, no, cool. I'll split it with you.
John Holmberg
And you said, okay.
Dale Hellestray
And the minute we get to the. I ran a car.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
And I said, I'm also flying on Southwest. I'm figuring whatever he's like, I'll get the same flight. So he did and everything. And the minute we got to the door of the room.
Brady Bogan
What were you doing in Ontario, California with Randy Johnson?
Dale Hellestray
Seeing the drag race.
John Holmberg
He went to the NHRA races. He was caps and he wanted to.
Dale Hellestray
Photograph get on the tree there and.
John Holmberg
But you said yes to that, which is as strange as him saying yes to that.
Brady Bogan
Sure, I'd say.
Dale Hellestray
But you had a, you had a roommate.
John Holmberg
And football, they make you.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And what. And the good. The higher ups could have the last.
Brady Bogan
Six, seven years of my career, I had a room by myself.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah. But you earned that.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
No, it isn't.
Dale Hellestray
Yes. For some people.
John Holmberg
It isn't. You're not.
Dale Hellestray
It didn't bother me that.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, but at least it's another guy.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
The daughter and her friend thing, that's unforgivable.
John Holmberg
I'm not sleeping in the same room. Randy Johnson's. And I was.
Dale Hellestray
I, I didn't look at it that way.
Brady Bogan
So what he do give you $47.50?
John Holmberg
Yes. What the hell.
Dale Hellestray
And $35 and 50 cents for the rental car.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Come on.
John Holmberg
Cash at the door right there. That's your fault though. It's like Randy Johnson.
Brady Bogan
I'll just stay in your room with you.
John Holmberg
You're like no you won't. You giant loaf. Get your own room. Yeah, they get tons of room. It's Ontario. You'll find your. I'll just sleep in the bed with you.
Dale Hellestray
I just asked a simple question. You sleep on your stomach.
John Holmberg
Yeah. You can stay and then I, and then I slap guts with Brady for an hour and a half. He slept through it.
Brady Bogan
Hey, do you travel?
Dale Hellestray
He was a pleasant roommate.
Brady Bogan
Do you travel with your CPAP machine?
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's right. You have to pack it up, put in a backpack.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, in the backpack.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So poor Caitlyn, the 16 year old girl had to wake up one.
Dale Hellestray
It's, it's about this big. It's about the size your phone. A little bit thicker like and so.
Brady Bogan
Did you break that out with the girls in the room?
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. So Caitlyn woke up to pee in some naked Darth Vader I keep in the hallway. You should have kept yourself in the hallway. It's all weird. Witnesses hostile there. Yeah. All right, we're going to talk about basketball here in a bit. Yes. Anyway, we'll get to that in a second. Dale Hell is here courtesy of our friends at Prestige billiards. Prestige billiards a.com for all your gaming and beyond needs. It's 98.
Brady Bogan
Holmberg's Morning Sickness.
John Holmberg
All right, let's get right to it. It's 9:46. Dale Hellas Tray is here. He's been here for a long time now and we very rarely talk sports but we have to now I went off a little bit about it this morning, Dale. Devin Booker signed a two year extension with the Phoenix Suns. And you're looking at me, you know what I'm thinking and I've been on the Devin Booker is a great guy. Let's not turn him into Larry Fitzgerald. Let's not turn him into Shane Doane. And then you have have to realize is it Devin Booker that is the problem? Two more years, guaranteeing five more years with the Suns here at least on contract. It's a nice deal, lot of money. 300 something million dollars now total through the next five years for a team that has been dismantled that no longer has a chance at a championship on paper.
Brady Bogan
Right.
John Holmberg
They're not a contender and he was happy to sign for two more years. What does that say about that player to you?
Brady Bogan
Well again Dan, you and I don't agree on much but I, but I told you and I talked about it and I said trade him, have to trade. So Brady and Bird are going to get upset because Devin Booker got trade. Who cares what's the best for the team and what can you get the most for? And I was reading something this morning. He played 75 games last year, which is the most he's played since his second year in the league. Other things I watched him playing the Olympics last summer.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I'm like, wow, okay, defense, hustle.
John Holmberg
He's awesome.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
And then he gets into the season, he looks like he's. He's playing with nails in his.
John Holmberg
See, I look at him as a really good player, really good defender, reliable. You know, you're very rarely going to.
Brady Bogan
Get 75 years disagree with you on the defender part when he wants to be.
John Holmberg
I think that's true of all NBA players. I think almost every one of them who scores has lapses on defense. And he's 26 and he just has.
Brady Bogan
40 minutes worth of lapses sometimes.
John Holmberg
Sometimes it's like, yeah, I'll get those two points back. So yeah, there's that. But I think it speaks louder to a guy who says, nah, championships maybe don't really care how important is a great setup. Yeah. And he's happy here now. He's the face of the franchise. As the face of the franchise. To be absolutely brutal on Devin. Six coaches in 10 years while he's been here. One championship run, but that got dismantled.
Brady Bogan
Well, it's because DeAndre got a $400.
John Holmberg
Million roster that he was the face of along with another guy that didn't make the playoffs. And Suns fans are like, no, we can't lose them. And I want to ask all of them why.
Brady Bogan
And that's because it is. It's interesting. You bring that up to anybody who likes basketball or Suns fan and they go lose their ever living mind. Well, Luca, look what happened in Dallas with Luca. And I said, okay, so they lost their mind for a month or two. And guess what? I have a feeling they're gonna be pretty damn good next year.
John Holmberg
I have a bet with Kevin Ray that deandre Ayton gets a ring before Devin Booker.
Brady Bogan
He's with the Lakers now.
John Holmberg
He's got to find one because he's. Give him credit for that. Yeah, he's not standing pat now. He. Portland was like, you've got to go like that.
Brady Bogan
And he never wanted to go to.
John Holmberg
Portland, but he was a free agent, so he picked a team. It's like he's got a good chance here. LeBron and.
Brady Bogan
Right.
John Holmberg
And Luca, this is exciting. This is the best. He picked an opportunity to advance at least his status.
Brady Bogan
And Devin get A run. I'm fine with the rebuild. By time we get a. A roster worthy of maybe playoff consideration. It'll be my fourth year.
Dale Hellestray
33 son can get a champion.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Maybe seven. That little Debbie will come up. Debbie is awesome. You know, but I just, I look at this and I just. I have to ask Phoenix fans, why do you lock on emotionally to these guys? And now he's got a two year deal and I'm like, well, now I know for sure why that this junk drawer known as the Phoenix Suns is absolutely not competing and their star doesn't care.
Brady Bogan
Did you have the same questions about Larry Fitzgerald?
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brady Bogan
You did.
John Holmberg
Shane Doan. I used to say, gotta get rid of Shane Doan. He's the problem. He's the only constant to your team not winning it to the point where.
Brady Bogan
He was the only one about five owners.
John Holmberg
Okay. But he stayed through all of it. So if you're going to get rid of all this other stuff, why is it so important to keep him? Larry Fitzgerald? Let's be honest. The super bowl run, kind of an accident. That was a 9 and 7 team that still holds the record of being a football team that was down by 30 points or more in more games in a Super bowl run than any other team. They really. They. They were down 30 points six different times that year.
Brady Bogan
And your Steelers almost lost you. And they should have lost.
John Holmberg
No, they shouldn't.
Brady Bogan
Should have.
John Holmberg
They shouldn't.
Brady Bogan
They didn't.
John Holmberg
They.
Brady Bogan
And the referees wanted to win.
John Holmberg
Well, they won no matter how Dale and I think you know this Steelers won that too. Either way.
Brady Bogan
Yes. I am totally with you on the Devin Booker thing. Number one. Why wouldn't he force his way?
John Holmberg
Go contender where New York is dying. He wants to play with Cat. Go.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
And get stuff back.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
But maybe they don't have anything to offer. Somebody else would. Cleveland something.
Dale Hellestray
Well, it's got to be that maybe that the other teams aren't trust.
John Holmberg
He's not on the block.
Brady Bogan
No, I don't think they have any offers conversations and then, then you find out Durant's kind of doing things to. To lower his value. The sun don't get enough back from. I. I don't know. I was so excited about Matt Ishbia because again, me too. After Sarver for a decade and. Oh no, we're. We're. We're money poor.
John Holmberg
Yeah. He was broke as an owner. He couldn't do what Ishbia did, which is throw money everywhere. That's not working.
Brady Bogan
Thing is he threw through the money at home. Homeburg. Hell and Brady.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah. Well, that. Yeah. And that was the thing about Sarver. We all hated him because he was just the owner for himself, right? And he locked into a championship run accidentally with that team that wasn't supposed to do what they did, but they did anyway. I look at Devin Booker and I say, please, Suns fans, recognize. If you want a title, get serious. If you don't clog up that arena cheer and scream real realizing it's for nothing.
Brady Bogan
$145 million.
John Holmberg
That ain't bad. I'd take that. That's getting. He's getting that no matter where.
Brady Bogan
Well, he's not getting that much because he got the bird rights and all.
John Holmberg
That, but he's getting his money. Eventually he's gonna get his money.
Brady Bogan
Right?
John Holmberg
He's fine.
Brady Bogan
And then you got your boy, Bradley Beal.
John Holmberg
No, he's not going to. Don't worry about that. We don't talk about Bradley Beal. That's a different. No, Bradley Beal is a lost topic. That's abortion. Bradley Beal is a topic. You just avoid religion, politics and Bradley Beal. It's just. Don't even talk about. He's useless to try to bring up.
Brady Bogan
Tell me this. If you were Bradley Beal, put yourself in issues, and you're due 110 million over the next two years.
John Holmberg
I ain't leaving.
Brady Bogan
And they say, we want watch take a pay cut and we want to waive you.
John Holmberg
Yeah. No, no, no.
Brady Bogan
Unless it all equals 110 million.
John Holmberg
Think of Bradley Beal.
Dale Hellestray
Situation.
John Holmberg
Situation. Prior to this, he was in Washington, D.C. yeah. For years. Miserable. He comes here, he goes to the Bottle blonde one night. What's this? He's hanging around Scottsdale for what's going on over here. And then he's at the Phoenician, he's at the W. He's at, you know, the Caesars. He's at all these places, stake 44. And he's like, I'm not going no anywhere.
Brady Bogan
And I got $110 million and they.
John Holmberg
Have to pay me that. There's no way for them to get out of it. Why would he force his way to. Yes, Utah. Dumb.
Dale Hellestray
Got my crib on Camelback Mountain.
John Holmberg
I don't know if going. Anyway. So Bradley Beal is religion, politics, abortion and Bradley Beal all just useless. There's no change in anything.
Brady Bogan
When the Suns made that made that trade for him and acquired him, I bet you that the addendum H was no trade clause. Oh, and they only got to g they didn't look at.
John Holmberg
They didn't think they'd need it. No, he's going to be fine. He's here for two years anyway. Yeah. So prediction for the Suns is they will barely make the playoffs next year if they make it at all. Same exact squad. And Devin Booker will get to 27, 28 a night and be the face of the franchise for five years for no reason.
Brady Bogan
You're beyond the media guy.
John Holmberg
Oh, he's gonna. He's everywhere. Posters downtown. They're gonna. Statues of them. They're gonna make him out. And it's a. You're. You said this and I was like, oh, you're crazy. You're right. The sons of the Cleveland Browns of the NBA. The absolute. Absolutely right about that. This is a poorly run group and.
Brady Bogan
I've been watching them since 1968.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you've been from the beginning.
Brady Bogan
Yes, from the beginning.
John Holmberg
And they've had their little bounces just like the Browns and managed to just monkey that whole thing up the entire way and ruin good things and then try to rebuild it and ruin it again. It's. You were right.
Brady Bogan
So.
John Holmberg
I hate saying those words. Brad Dale, you were right. I never thought I'd hear those words.
Brady Bogan
Come out of your mouth, Bert. You're all clean shaven today. Is that when you go out in public?
John Holmberg
I gotta go. I gotta go make some money. Visit the people. He's gonna make sure he doesn't look like a pig, for God's sake. That's why I never leave.
Brady Bogan
I wonder if you get another invoice from the sun saying due to the Devin Booker extension your season tickets.
John Holmberg
They already raised the prices back in March. You had to renew your tickets in.
Brady Bogan
March for a 36 win team. They raised the prices a lot.
John Holmberg
Every year I've had season tickets, they've gone up. Jesus.
Brady Bogan
And you can't. And you can't sign a contract or anything that says, hey, for next.
Dale Hellestray
Like lock them in.
John Holmberg
Yeah. No, no, no. If you do, you're buying big seats like the front row. Mine are good, but they're not. The front row is a three year commitment.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Yours is a lot of steps to get up.
John Holmberg
Well, two is a lot of steps. You don't like. You don't like drop down living rooms. It's like not a thing for you. But yeah, I understand that. And football's right around the corner, so it's. All this is moot.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
All this is becoming pointless and who cares kind of stuff. Because it's great and I like to See that? The Cowboys. Cowboys are back at it. I think the Cowboys are going to win the NFC east. Because you know what? They're. They're taking a page from your guys team. One of their guys just got arrested for having a gun and wasn't allowed to have. And it's. This is exactly like the early 90s cowboys right now. A couple of good wide receivers, a quarterback that's solid. I don't know about the running game, but already the police blotter is filling up with Cowboy roster names and that means championship.
Brady Bogan
You know what's fascinating about that? I was talking with Kevin Guy. He's head coach Arizona Rattlers. I broadcast their games and they got their last home game on Saturday and they're fighting for playoff spots, seating, things like that. And I was asking him this about two weeks ago. I said, have you ever had a championship team? Because he's won a number of championships without. Because he keeps saying, oh, these guys are great guys. They're great guys. Great locker room guys, great, great practice guys. And then they'll. They'll fare a little bit on the field. I said, have you ever won a championship without a couple guys? One criminal that you had to keep your eye on and you're ready for 2 o' clock in the morning. Great point. And usually doesn't happen. Usually. You got to have somebody.
John Holmberg
You got to have a criminal. Not too far. Not Vonte's Perfect. Crazy. No, not Pac Man Jones.
Brady Bogan
Although, did you see. Because I've got a couple.
Dale Hellestray
Stanley Wilson.
John Holmberg
Stanley just went bananas.
Brady Bogan
That guy's the night before the Super Bowl. How. That's Dale.
John Holmberg
That's how good crack is. You fight your whole life to get to your. The pinnacle of your career and you're like, but crack. That sounds nice.
Brady Bogan
Not. Not Friday, not Thursday, not Wednesday.
John Holmberg
Super Bowls tomorrow. Stanley, do you want some crack? Yes. I'm going. How do you even say that?
Brady Bogan
Oh, my goodness.
John Holmberg
What time's the game tomorrow? I don't know, like three? Want some crack? See you guys. Game time. Yeah, I'll be there. Don't worry. If I can make it. And he disappeared for days on crack. It's great. Yeah. So, yeah, I think you're right. A criminal.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
You need.
Brady Bogan
You need somebody that's gonna step over the line a little bit and you gotta reel them back in.
John Holmberg
You guys had Michael.
Brady Bogan
Well, you had Nate somebody. That's the thing I say. I got a couple texts. Evidently, there's something about the Cowboys. I don't know if it's a show or they're releasing little blurs, but I completely forgot about it. Michael Irvin took cuts in front of a couple guys to get his hair cut in the dorms in training camp.
John Holmberg
When you were playing.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
Oh, okay. And.
Brady Bogan
He didn't like the guy who was sitting on the chair.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady Bogan
Wanted to get off and took some.
John Holmberg
Scissors and threatened to kill him.
Brady Bogan
Well, stabbed him.
John Holmberg
Oh, he did actually stab him. Michael Irvin stabbed a man at the bar. Barbershop.
Brady Bogan
Everett McIver.
John Holmberg
Damn. Why you been holding this out?
Brady Bogan
I forgot about.
John Holmberg
How do you forget about that?
Brady Bogan
It's just one of those.
John Holmberg
Stabbed a teammate.
Brady Bogan
Evidently, a lot of black guys would go have this barber. They. They fly them in or whatever, and there'd be 10, 12 of them that get haircuts.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Michael didn't want to wait any any.
John Holmberg
Longer, so he tried to kill a man and no one stopped him because the guy was. Wouldn't get it.
Brady Bogan
He just crazed.
John Holmberg
The barber gave him the scissors?
Brady Bogan
No, he grabbed this.
John Holmberg
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Brady Bogan
I wasn't in the room.
John Holmberg
In the neck.
Brady Bogan
It was around the neck.
John Holmberg
He was trying to kill. God. Oh, my God.
Brady Bogan
It's just a little snafu.
John Holmberg
Right back to warning.
Dale Hellestray
It's a warning jab.
John Holmberg
Did he get his hair cut after that? Did the dude get up?
Brady Bogan
No, he had. He had to go get.
John Holmberg
Oh, he had to go get stitches and get. Yeah, get his juggling regular protection head to the locker room. This is the kind of stuff you get from Dale.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I've not heard this.
Brady Bogan
Some of that came up because somebody's writing a book on Troy and so this guy called me.
John Holmberg
And you told him that story?
Brady Bogan
No, he. He brought it up to me. And again, I. I knew some of it. I didn't know the whole thing.
John Holmberg
Does Michael admit to this?
Brady Bogan
I don't think he'd sit down here and talk about it, but it's. It's. It's substantial.
John Holmberg
You have to understand something.
Brady Bogan
You go beast mode when you need a haircut.
John Holmberg
You got to get your beast mode.
Brady Bogan
I'm not waiting any longer. That's you.
John Holmberg
It's taking too long. He's got them dreadlocks. Get him out of that seat. That's mine. Give me the ball. I'll never forget that when we were playing in your charity tournament and I was on his team, and I had the ball at the three point strike. And I'm about to make a move, and I turn and there's Michael a foot from me. Give me the ball. What? Give me me the ball. We're on the same team. I know steals it from me. Hits a shot and turns and goes, I'm 40. And then he ran down. I didn't even know what it meant. He was turning 40 like that week. I know what it was. And he lost his mind and he kept stealing the ball from me.
Brady Bogan
I think him and Rob Moore were going at it or something.
John Holmberg
Oh, it was a Anquan Bolden. Oh, was it anquan and Josh McCown and him. He had a problem with Anquant and McCown's dunks. They were youthful and it was driving him nuts. He didn't try to kill them, which was evidently going to happen later. He's growing up.
Dale Hellestray
Well, Dale knew not to have any any scissors available.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they'll kept all the strap objects.
Brady Bogan
I didn't go to that.
John Holmberg
You didn't go to the same bar? Are you sure you weren't a hide and tight fade anyway. Wow. Well, that's a good one. Dale. Dale Hell stray talks about the attempted murder of the world champion Dallas Cowboys in 1990 through 1994.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
Man, oh man. 1996, 95 season. I think it was a strike year. Not real sure what happened. It ended funny. I know. It just didn't end right. It was a failure for.
Brady Bogan
But that had to be a fun season for you.
John Holmberg
No, it wasn't. It's a nightmare.
Aafion Crockett
Why?
John Holmberg
It's the Larry Brown to the super bowl and lost. Don't lose Super Bowls. It hurts when they lose. It's even more of a failure. Not making it is less of a failure than getting it.
Brady Bogan
Really.
John Holmberg
You're on the field playing for the title and you lose what you got there as a. If that's enough for you as a player. Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
Making it to a Super bowl or playing a Super bowl is accomplishing a lot of stuff.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's great. I'm going to get you both some flowers and tampons. Enough. If you win the super bowl, that's what you were there to do. If you lose it, it's a failure.
Brady Bogan
I, I, I don't lose Super Bowl.
John Holmberg
Oh, see, and you can say that.
Brady Bogan
Yes, yes.
John Holmberg
And had you lost one, you'd be like, no, I'm just enough to get there. Bull crap. You'd have been like, no, it still hurts. It's still AFC Championship game. You guys won't shut up about the NFC Championship game in San Francisco. Yes.
Brady Bogan
Because was a fail. Are you kidding?
John Holmberg
One play.
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
Of your failed season that year? Well, the Ners went on and won a Super Bowl. Wow. Because you guys couldn't get over the hump because of one play.
Brady Bogan
Who's this Jack?
John Holmberg
Sean. He's filling in for Larry. Don't worry about it.
Brady Bogan
He's raised.
John Holmberg
See, he's a Niners fan.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, there's one in every bunch, isn't there?
John Holmberg
Well you're saying homosexuals. You're making fun of Sean. I. I apologize, Sean. That was uncalled for.
Aafion Crockett
It's not weird. It's pretty cool actually.
John Holmberg
No members if we. I have heard enough of this.
Aafion Crockett
Morning sickness.

Dale Hellestray
Peter Jackson and his partner Fran Walsh. They've donated 15 million to resurrect the giant moa bird. They teamed up with that colossal Biosciences that's doing the woolly mammoth.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dale Hellestray
They're cloned able to get the DNA. They want to bring this extinct bird back that the giant moa stands about 15ft tall and weighs a couple thousand.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. No.
Dale Hellestray
And he wants to bring back to New Zealand.
John Holmberg
Have you seen Jurassic park? No go. All 10 of them. They get worse as they go. No, keep. Keep messing with this.
Brady Bogan
Who's this Jackson guy?
Dale Hellestray
He was the director. He's the guy behind the Lord of the Rings.
John Holmberg
Peter Jackson. You don't know anything. It's Michael Jackson was behind Lord of the Rings. That's right.
Dale Hellestray
Dale's got something. He's.
John Holmberg
Now why don't we do that? Dale. Dale brings up a Didn't intentionally do this, but brings up an interesting point. Why would we keep trying to bring back dinosaurs? Let's bring back Michael Jackson.
Brady Bogan
Do. Do we want to do that?
John Holmberg
Yeah, because you could cage him and then, like, set him free to do entertainment and put him back. He's not a real person. No, because then they won't quit. It'll be like the sequels of Jurassic Park. Then they'll bring back Jimmy Buffett. They'll bring back Jim Morrison. They'll bring back. Yeah, you know, stuff you don't want.
Brady Bogan
To matter with Jimmy Buffett.
John Holmberg
Exactly. Thank you. You make our point. Thanks. Dale makes our point for us now. Now we know we're right. Is that Dale likes Jimmy Buffett. Because, like country music, Jimmy Buffett is for people with down syndrome. Wow. Yeah, it's true. His songs sound better if you hold your to. And you know what that sounds like the crowd singing back.
Brady Bogan
You guys do not have any taste in music.
John Holmberg
Making a parent on my arm.
Brady Bogan
John, it's a sad day.
John Holmberg
Oh, no.
Brady Bogan
Why sad? Sad day.
John Holmberg
Michael finally finished the guy off.
Brady Bogan
Netflix is canceling Queer Eyes.
John Holmberg
Oh.
Brady Bogan
For the straight guy.
John Holmberg
The new.
Brady Bogan
The new version, it's after 10 seasons where I was coming to an end. The show debuted in 2018. How many episodes have you watched?
John Holmberg
I watch everything of the new one. Not much. The old one I used to watch because it was Carson Presley. He was kind of funny.
Dale Hellestray
He was at Dreamboat.
John Holmberg
This new one with John Van Ness is not as good. John Jay's gotten a job. That's what it's.
Brady Bogan
I.
John Holmberg
That's why I watched a couple of them. Was John J. Vanessen. John. John Van Ess of the same name, but he's a guy with a beard and he wears dresses and stuff. And it's a Botox. Yeah, don't do that. Dale, get back in your seat. It's okay. Those Botox.
Brady Bogan
Over the first nine seasons, there have been 91 episodes.
John Holmberg
Do you know that gays bow. Tex. They're b holes. They Botox that so it's smoother and easier to be a bottom. Dale.
Dale Hellestray
That's a. Dale knew that.
John Holmberg
That's a world you live in, my friend.
Brady Bogan
Cheese bigger than you just keep going to those things. How does. How does somebody even think about that?
Dale Hellestray
What do they call it again?
John Holmberg
The anal Botoxing.
Dale Hellestray
Yeah. I thought they had.
John Holmberg
I don't know.
Brady Bogan
Maybe.
John Holmberg
I don't know.
Brady Bogan
So you get it bleached and Botox.
John Holmberg
Oh, you can get a bleach. You need to clean it up, keep it clean.
Brady Bogan
Donnie, are you pleased?
John Holmberg
I would bleach it. I just am afraid to show it to somebody for that purpose. I wouldn't want to sit in a room with it up in the air to get bleached. Mine's pretty good, though.
Brady Bogan
Oh, it is. You looked at it.
John Holmberg
I mean, I've done a little Clorox boxing on my own. I've not gone through the full diy. But you said. Who would even think of that?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
The dude on the bottom isn't struggling. I think it's Jimmy Buffett concert. What is this?
Brady Bogan
Hey, Bird. I like it when you're quiet over there.
John Holmberg
That's what we said to Jimmy Buffett.
Brady Bogan
So the Netflix version of the reboot of the Bravo series, that's evidently when you watched it.
John Holmberg
There's a video of it, Dale, if you're interested in watching some on old Botox, if you want to turn your eyes. Come on.
Brady Bogan
Come on, Bird.
John Holmberg
Jeez Louise. Yeah, It's a video anal examination under anesthesia and Botox injection for chronic anal fissures. Now, this is not the same as getting it done to have anal sex from that. Fissures happen. Fissures are. Unfortunately. I had a friend who had them and I made fun of them and it was. Was. It's not easy. It's just basically. There we go. It's like you get termites in your anus. He had was the fishers and he already initiated the creams, which he time period. And then when I took a look in the office, I could see that he had anal fishers. And I like the term.
Brady Bogan
Hey, how come we got girls out here grabbing the water that you got? Why don't you go down there and help them?
John Holmberg
I did my charity for they were. Whatever would you do? Yeah. Equal rights. See you down there. These ladies want to be treated as equals. So today's the day we're really putting that to us. It's hot out.
Brady Bogan
It is hot.
John Holmberg
Going out there doing that. It's crazy talk. All right. Brady finished up.
Dale Hellestray
We talked about the. The 40th year, 40th anniversary for live Aid. And they're doing all these specials this weekend. This is a list of some artists that refused to play live aid 40 years ago.
John Holmberg
They turned it down.
Dale Hellestray
Turned it down.
John Holmberg
Everybody did it.
Dale Hellestray
Michael Jackson.
John Holmberg
Oh.
Dale Hellestray
Agent said Michael was pain in the ass recording, working on his new project.
Brady Bogan
Jimmy Buffett or Michael Jackson?
John Holmberg
Are you kidding? That's not even like a conversation humans should have.
Dale Hellestray
Rod Stewart, his manager, told the organizers they'd have to guarantee Rod got Prime time news coverage. Rod only found out this a year ago.
John Holmberg
Are you kid Thriller or Cheeseburgers in Paradise?
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
Come on, Rice. You're making our point for us.
Brady Bogan
Cheeseburger in Paradise. That's a fun happy song. You're eating hamburgers, drinking beer, Johnny.
John Holmberg
Stevie Wonder licking windows, drooling.
Dale Hellestray
Stevie Wonder turned it down because he said he found out how white the bill was.
John Holmberg
Oh, racism.
Dale Hellestray
I'm not going to be. Going to be the token black.
John Holmberg
Just lie to him. No. Tons of black guys up there.
Dale Hellestray
Culture Club.
John Holmberg
And then tell all the white guys when you walk by, Steve, you go, what up, blood? Excuse me, Holmes. This is exactly why I'm here. I enjoy all these brothers. What up, Holmes?
Brady Bogan
How you doing, player? Did you ever hear Shaq tell the story of meeting Stevie Wonder?
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brady Bogan
He. He's. He got an elevator in LA or something, and. And Stevie Wonder was on there with. With one of his handlers. And Shaq gets on the elevator, and Steven said, what's up?
Dale Hellestray
Shaq doesn't say anything. He walks.
John Holmberg
He's been faking it, is what he said.
Brady Bogan
He goes. I swear he can see.
John Holmberg
Comedian Dion Cole took a girl to a Stevie Wonder concert. And they were in the front row, and somewhere or another one of Stevie's handlers said, stevie would like to meet you. And said, he took. Took us backstage. And then Stevie's like, I would like you to come to my room and. And took him in the room. And Dion had to stand outside. And he said, I'm pretty sure she boned Stevie Wonder in there. And he's like, how did he know to point her out in the front row in the first place?
Brady Bogan
There's something fishy about that.
John Holmberg
You think Stevie's been faking it?
Brady Bogan
Yes.
John Holmberg
You can't trust Stevie Wonder.
Brady Bogan
What up, blood?
John Holmberg
Hello, player. He just kept going, thinking, so many brothers. Well, it was for Africa. So when you think about it, Stevie might have had a point where all.
Dale Hellestray
These culture clubs turned it down.
John Holmberg
Where's the black?
Dale Hellestray
You know why? Cuz Boy George, Stanley Wilson, he was.
John Holmberg
Always too coked up together.
Dale Hellestray
Def Leppard.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Dale Hellestray
That was the year Rick Allen just lost.
John Holmberg
Wow. Their drummer was missing a limb, and he hadn't learned to play with one arm yet.
Dale Hellestray
Huey Lewis in the news. This last one, they pulled out because of concerns on how the money raised would actually be used.
John Holmberg
And that's what I would have said, because you know why they raised all that money? For Africa. You know, we are the world and this, this. And they're still hungry so where'd the money go? If.
Brady Bogan
Enough.
John Holmberg
Johnny Deal. If I gave you $200 million in 1985 for one song, you could at least make it to one nation.
Dale Hellestray
Did you get a video of a Live Aid airplane dropping? A bunch of the One. One drop.
John Holmberg
You never see any fat people saying thank you for we are the World. Like, they fix everything. Look at my belly. And they're fat and they're running around with diabetes and like they. Phoenix Suns world champion jerseys on and you know, championship gear. Steelers championship. Oh, no, no. There's too many choices, Dale. We got more than your team. Don't start. Only two losses. The Cowboys have several.
Brady Bogan
Not when I was.
John Holmberg
All right, calm down.
Brady Bogan
You know, same time.
John Holmberg
