John Holmberg
Blowing through this bad boy and I fear that we are closing in on Brett's videos again which caused great turmoil on Friday.
Brett
I can't top those.
John Holmberg
No, no, no. I'm not asking to top, I'm just. Well you didn't expect what happened Friday to happen so we'll see if happening the way it's happening in just oh by the iron. Okay, I'll get to that in a little bit. Yeah, big perp. Robert Lavender's email. Then another quandary again about dice versus dominoes. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how to respond to black people emails. As a white I'm like I don't know how to play either. Are you talking about. I played tri ominos when I was a kid. That seems domino mother. I played dominoes for a while but I played with my ex wife. I don't think it had the same kind of. I don't think we were slapping cash on that. Domino's is fun. Still don't understand it but different kind of wiggling the tail ones and the triangulation ones and tri Uminos was really difficult. It was good, though.
Brady
Yeah, that steps it up.
John Holmberg
Oh, it keeps you from getting the Alzheimer's, that's for sure. You got to start thinking. So I'll answer big perps questions after the show, but I can't. I mean, what's your. I mean, come on. Dice, poker or dominoes? What do you. I mean, come on, guys. What am I in the minute Nate dog video? I don't know what's going on. Am I down on 21 in Lewis shooting dice? Just the homie said, let's do this.
Larry McFeely
Dice isn't like craps that you throw in the alley, right?
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, that's what throwing dice is. Just basically, it's like craps. Yeah.
Larry McFeely
Okay.
John Holmberg
Rolling bones, you know, that's when Debo knocked. That's right. We know all of our dice from Friday and from Boys in the Hood and Boys in the Hood and regulators mount up on a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G. And that was when he was playing dice and he got all hemmed up in those. Anyway, Long. We'll get to that in a little while. Thanks. Big perp making a mess in my morning. It's time for the Brady Report. It's brought to you. Oh, now I can't say this. Oh, and by the way, before we get to this, before I get into this. Oh, WNBA all star weekend is also occurring soon. It's in Indianapolis.
Brady
I thought maybe it happened already.
John Holmberg
Nope.
Brady
Okay.
John Holmberg
It's an Indianapolis. I didn't miss it coming up. No, you. You still got time. And on the billboards in Indiana on a building. I saw that. I sent it to you.
Brett
Oh, I know.
John Holmberg
They have one of the bill. You know, they decorate those sides of buildings as advertisements now. Well, they're really excited about the WNBA coming to town. And one of the buildings says can't block my shine now. I for one, am offended. I don't know why. Big purpose. And on a plane right now out there with a sign getting angry at this. That's not. That is. I mean, it is a. It's a 20 story building.
Brady
It is.
John Holmberg
You can't have that. Oh, yeah.
Brady
Who is that featured on that?
John Holmberg
I don't know. It's a WNBA player, so no one knows. But I don't know who that is. She's a player for the wnb.
Brady
A white player, though, right?
John Holmberg
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Brady
Look.
Larry McFeely
Okay, that would make it worse.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
Because I looked at it briefly. I didn't zoom in.
Brett
It's not Caitlin Clark.
John Holmberg
No, it Is not Caitlin. But you can't have that. Is not. No marketing executive should have thumbs up that idea. I got uncomfortable. And all I was doing was watching the Indiana Fever to see if Sophie Cunningham was going to beat anyone up. And after a minute, I'm like, I can't watch this. The catastrophe of basketball. Then they showed downtown Indianapolis, and I'm like, that's Indiana. Those people aren't reading that right in Indiana. I. Trust me, I'm from there. They're not saying anything more than what we're saying. Like, somebody should take that down. Anyway, I'm standing up for the people, even though I can't tell you. Big perp. The difference between dominoes and dice. And Uno. I don't. He included Uno. I didn't even know that was a thing.
Larry McFeely
You know what smart is?
John Holmberg
I'm not a dumb man, but I know what smart is. Yeah. And the. That's not good. That's not good. And nobody said a thing. All the billboards downtown Indianapolis looking good. That one's not you. Let southern Indiana see that. They're going to feel okay with it. Terrible. So just to let you know, I'm probably the most active person in the world. I'm the best activist anybody's got. Because I know what racism is from being raised white. And I pointed out. That's a bad one. That's a bad one. Don't do that. Anyway, wnba, you've made terrible errors. Sorry. I'm talking about Big Perp. He got me. That was our African American moment. From Big Perp to you guys. That was me taking care of the community. Because I can't believe that building hasn't been burned down. Not encouraging it. I can't afford that. Fine. If it happened. I don't think anything. I think I can say that in any. But if I was a group, I'd get together and at least picket that building. The good thing is it's the WNBA so no one sees it. It's like magic ink. You can't see it. You just can't see it.
Brady
It's just nice of you to shine a light on that.
John Holmberg
Thank you very much. See, and you're. You're from Ohio, so you couldn't. You couldn't be serious about it. You had to get more racist. No spotlight. Because that's what they do in Upper Arlington. Because the help can't fight back. It's true. I'm not wrong. I've been there. I know what it's like. Laugh. Because he knows those guys in Upper Arlington that are allowed there from certain times of the day, they don't fight back. They just about it when they go home. That was in ua. I saw it. I saw your bubble. They ain't fighting back.
Larry McFeely
On a different note years ago.
John Holmberg
No, no, it's now. It's. It was. Well, I was there years ago too, but it hasn't changed. Not even a little bit.
Larry McFeely
No way.
John Holmberg
Not even a little.
Larry McFeely
On a different note. Texter says John, because I've listened to you for so long, I didn't notice the transition when I was heading up to a job. I'm a plumber up in Cottonwood. My radio slowly transitioned from a. From KUPD to a SE country station. And I thought it was you just messing.
Brady
Nope.
Larry McFeely
Contemplated driving my truck off the side of the road waiting for you to come in with a fart joke.
John Holmberg
97. 9 gets interrupted somewhere in Cottonwood by.
Larry McFeely
A country station apparently. Please tell your listeners to use the app if you're traveling up.
John Holmberg
Yeah, back in the day when people cared about this frequency, we'd take over the whole state. Now you lose us in Wickenburg to.
Larry McFeely
Get us in Tucson, right?
John Holmberg
Oh, you can get it all over. We used to cover the state.
Brady
I remember going up playing golf with Mark Malone one weekend and we all the way there.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Not anymore. We used to have to pay for like transit if imagine our old owners used to do that. They were the cheapest people on the planet. Somehow another covering Arizona like the sun. Now we don't now Wickenburg. That's it. Get on your app. That's fine. We got. We got ways to solve that. But don't listen to country music. It's detrimental. It's time for the Brady report. It's brought to you by all pro shade concepts. If you want to get some shade in your life, get that backyard covered. I did it again yesterday. Tried to make it across the back patio. No shoes, no socks, just I can do this. I can do this. And I got over there and I'm like, I can't get back. There's no getting back. I had to put my feet in the pool first.
Brady
Tap dance.
John Holmberg
I was tap dance. I tap danced all the way to the pool and then ran back, still burned up. Get some shade in that backyard. I get it from the people who do it the best. 20 years of getting this going. Two decades of quality custom installed patio shades, awnings and sunscreens. They're the best in the business for a reason. Been around for a long time doing it and now it's your turn to use them all. Prochet.com Brady reported.
Brady
Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix.
John Holmberg
Hello, world. Hi.
Brady
Happy National Nude Day.
John Holmberg
Nude.
Brady
Nude.
John Holmberg
Oh, Conor McGregor was just celebrating that all weekend. I see.
Brady
Now, National Tape Measure Day.
John Holmberg
Nude Day goes with that. You're going to eventually measure it. Am I wrong?
Brady
Alvin J. Fellows received the patent and on this day in 1860, for the.
John Holmberg
Tape measure.
Brady
And National Mac and Cheese Day.
John Holmberg
Well, there we go the hell out of that.
Brett
On Friday, he was celebrating early.
John Holmberg
Well, I thought that's why we went out.
Larry McFeely
That's why he didn't share and tell us about it.
John Holmberg
No, no, no. We went out to bitch about our jobs. We didn't go out for Mac. And we went out to complain and see what's our next steps. We didn't go out for Mac and cheese day.
Brady
54% of the people in this survey eat Mac and cheese weekly.
John Holmberg
Congratulations, Brady. They noticed you.
Brady
86% of Americans say it's an adult food, not just for. And the real passion comes in. 56% say they would give up coffee or social media before giving up Mac and cheese.
John Holmberg
Mac and cheese is not for children. There's children's Mac and cheese. And then you graduate to what you stole from all of us on Friday, which is fantastic.
Brett
You know how fast you would delete Boss KUPD for Mac and cheese every day?
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, by the way, Rob, Rob Wood has emailed in and said, I don't even know why that's racist. Good. I'm not gonna tell you why, because then you'll know. But I'm telling you right now, most of Indiana knows that that billboard's racist. Good for you, Rob. Don't look it up on the Internet. Stay naive to that. That's less that we have to worry about in the future. But you know what's gonna happen, Rob? One day you're gonna say it and you won't realize what you said, and you'll truly see. I didn't know that was a racist trope. You'll be in a courtroom.
Larry McFeely
I did not know any old movies from the 40s, 50s?
Brett
Oh, take off your road car glasses. Let's just say that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. Just maybe you should look into it and so you don't step into that landmine and say you're traveling to Kentucky or Ohio or Indiana. Trust me, they know what that is.
Larry McFeely
Another one. I can tell what race you are. Texter. I don't get it. Seriously?
John Holmberg
Good. Maybe. Maybe we're becoming oblivious to some slurs. But you know what? That's going to get young.
Larry McFeely
You think he's young?
John Holmberg
I hope so. Yeah. Hear the words you say sometimes. I mean. I mean who talks like that?
Larry McFeely
98 KU PD it's Larry McFeely and July is heating up at your valley Toyota dealer. If you're ready to take on the best summer adventures Arizona has to offer, you need a ride built for it.

Celebrate freedom, adventure and unbeatable deals. Now visit your valley toyota dealer or toyotadeealers.com toyota let's go places.
John Holmberg
Holg's. Morning sickness gonna get you in hot water in the wrong place.
Larry McFeely
Another one. Call me Brady with rose colored glasses. I don't understand it.
John Holmberg
You know it's making me happy to hear that. Good.
Brett
Yeah, I don't understand it either.
John Holmberg
I don't either.
Brady
Couple of basis fun facts.
John Holmberg
All three of those people that emailed are not from Indiana. Cuz Indiana. It's on your birth certificate is a. Isn't a and then it says the word.
Brady
The record holder for most Grammys one is Beyonce.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
With 35. The runner up is Sir George Salty. He's a Hungarian British conductor who conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 22 years. He won 31 Grammys.
Larry McFeely
How come Kanye doesn't defend him?
Brett
Those are all those non televised awards.
John Holmberg
Yeah, Grammys are everywhere.
Brady
An average of 350. An average of 350 slices of pizza are sold in the US every second.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Larry McFeely
Brady's.
John Holmberg
You know it feels good to be seen and I feel like this. The Mac and cheese and pizza news by the way, also meaningless. The Grammys are good if it's the televised one like you said. Anything else? The one that really doesn't mean anything anymore is the Emmy, the TV award. Because it used to be that was like wow, what a great. But the same trophy exists for like local Emmys. Brad Perry's got like three.
Brady
News stories.
John Holmberg
No, no, he's the worst broadcast. Yeah, it's the girl holding with the wings. That's the same thing for the Rocky Mountain local news Emmys.
Larry McFeely
That diminishes the real one, doesn't it?
John Holmberg
Kills it. So you'll see guys like Brad Perry with Emmys behind him on a shelf. And you're like, that guy can bar talk.
Larry McFeely
He didn't earn those.
John Holmberg
He just. I think everybody gets one or two. You think the sportscaster at Channel 3 did a thing from home and he had like four of them behind him. You get an Emmy for anything. If you're on tv, you get an Emmy. Those are meaningless.
Brady
If you drop Silly Putty from a high place, it doesn't bounce, it shatters.
John Holmberg
Really.
Brady
And I o. You tested, Saw a guy, I looked it up and I'm like, how high does it have to be, you know, to drop it? And this kid at. He was at a university, he dropped it from the library, top of the library. 50 pound ball of silly Silly Putty. No wonder got security out there to section it off to see what happened. It shattered.
John Holmberg
What if it bounced? It would have killed like a hundred people.
Larry McFeely
I know.
John Holmberg
Boom. Yeah. It's just slaughtering people on its drive back down the road. I'm glad it shatters, but now I want to know, I want to do it. How high do you have to get?
Brady
That was probably a 50 foot drop, maybe.
John Holmberg
So if I just got on the.
Brady
Roof 10 stories initially in the story.
John Holmberg
And then that's a hundred feet.
Brady
Yeah, that was a hundred foot drop.
John Holmberg
But that's a big one. Well, now I want to try that.
Brady
Pebbles from the Flintstones Hot. Was originally going to be a boy. Until the company told the creators of the show, baby girl dolls sold a lot better.
John Holmberg
Remember when they made Pebbles and Bam. Bam. When they were like young adults? They drew. They drew. You want to talk about an unrealistic body shape? Pebbles was ridiculous. I mean, her mom was no, like, Wilma had a. Now that I'm older, I look at Wilma, different woman.
Brady
Betty were pretty solid.
John Holmberg
Betty was good, but Betty was taking some Barney crank. So I had no respect for her. Wilma had a man. I mean, if, you know, remember Dom, who used to work here, who was built just like Barney Rubble? You'd look at the woman that chose him differently, wouldn't you?
Brady
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Like if a woman came rolling in and she was about 6:1. And then Dom go, hey, hey, hey, how you doing? Like, how'd you. What'd you do here? And you just realized, oh, she's damaged. You don't have respect for that. Something's wrong with her.
Brett
Well, the tail he's pulling with that Corey Taylor face on his leg, he's.
John Holmberg
Got a tattoo of the guy from Slipknot on his body. No, Betty Rubble is gonna roll into his life. Unless she's a complete mess.
Brett
But that Jamie Josta on the other one.
John Holmberg
Good.
Brett
I think he's got both.
John Holmberg
God. But Pebbles. They drew Pebbles as a 19 year old and turned Bam. Bam. Were traveling around in that band. Wilma still kept it together. Wilma had a baby and kept it tight. What excuse the ladies have if Wilma can keep a 2 inch waist pushed out Pebbles. And Betty too. She gave birth to that super strong kid.
Brady
Researchers tested people's hair to see how much of the stress hormone cortisol they'd been producing. The ones who said Mondays. As far as the days of the week the most stressful.
John Holmberg
What they're.
Brady
They were testing people's hair to see what day produced the most cortisol.
John Holmberg
Oh.
Brady
And Monday ends up being the most stressed out. It's stress hormone.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady
23 more cortisol coursing through their veins.
John Holmberg
On Mondays.
Brady
On Mondays. And it even included people that were retired. And they're saying that's probably because while they are working going through the Mondays it still continues on even in retirement. You're just conditioned that way after.
John Holmberg
So Mondays are just almost a Pavlovian kind of. Ugh. Here we go. No matter what you got going on it's a reset button.
Brady
A researcher in the UK has found a way to keep your home more than 6 degrees cooler. This hack. You ready for this? Covering your window with yogurt.
John Holmberg
Not gonna happen. Your house would smell so bad.
Brady
The yogurt forms a film on the window and they an example they have the yogurt looks like plain yogurt paintbrush. And you paint on the outside of the window doesn't attract flies. I guess it's dries up in like 30 minutes. So then it creates this film that.
Brett
Blocks you're an if you do that.
John Holmberg
I agree. Just call all pro shades. Yeah. And shade up your windows tent.
Brady
It doesn't smell.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. You're. You're the neighborhood. It has to smell. Isn't it a lot of dairy.
Brett
Just bring out some yoplay and a spoon and just start slapping it on the window.
John Holmberg
Or what?
Brady
That's what they're saying. Come on.
John Holmberg
That's not what they're saying. It has to be like something other than that kind of yogurt. You can't just go get mixed berries.
Brady
I just used a supermarket brand of Greek yogurt plain that has a fat percentage of about 10%.
Brett
So you got the great value out there.
John Holmberg
And yeah. So yeah.
Brady
They're assuming it was plain.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah. Because yo play Isn't that just the.
Brady
Random chunks of strawberries or something, you know, on there?
John Holmberg
It's that. It's the Cam Newton, Oiko stuff that just. That paste. Yep.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett
Don't worry about the bugs and everything that'll be crawling all over your house.
Brady
That's what they're saying. It doesn't.
John Holmberg
Well, that's because they use fat free. Nothing in it once. Not the yogurt that people eat and think they're being healthy, but it's sugary and it's basically melted ice cream.
Brady
Most people probably wouldn't consider yogurt cheap, but they're saying you only need about a tablespoon per window.
John Holmberg
What if the window is huge?
Brady
That doesn't size the window.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That doesn't add up at all.
Brady
2.
John Holmberg
Well, that's the point. A tablespoon after the fact. Yeah. What size of window is a tablespoon? Because I've got a huge window. Wouldn't cover a third of that thing.
Brady
You're gonna need two tablespoons, I think. Yeah.
John Holmberg
You've done the math.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Thanks. Thanks. Neil Degrasse Jackass.
Brady
There's a new list of the most loved regional accents across America.
Larry McFeely
None of them.
Brett
There we go.
Brady
Number one, Cajun.
John Holmberg
Huh.
Brady
And I don't understand. The number two was Long island accent.
John Holmberg
Long Island, Long Island. That's the worst.
Brett
Yeah.
Brady
Number three, the Mississippi accent.
John Holmberg
That was Larry's ex wife. It was Long Island. That was rough. All right. My dad dated that lady that got that bad haircut and he told her they didn't think it looked good. Your father says it looked like retard. We've all said it about your accent, so you might as well match it with a haircut.
Brady
And now I've got some smugglers news.
John Holmberg
Oh, all right. And does he.
Brady
Stories about people getting caught with contraband, getting busted. We call it the smuggler's News. There's a 63 year old guy from Texas facing charges after he stole a boat in Key West.
John Holmberg
Stole or sold?
Brady
He stole it and took it all the way to Cuba.
John Holmberg
Somebody went back.
Brady
Floyd de Vassiere is his name. He's 38 years old and he was out on a date with a lady. So it looked that way and rented the boat.
John Holmberg
What do you mean it looked that way? That way.
Brady
It's like I'm take. I'm gonna. He's gonna rent the boat and take her out for a little boat 20.
John Holmberg
Thought he rented the boat. Yeah, he just stole it. Got it.
Brady
Well, he rented it, he paid for it. 26 foot.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady
Fishing boat. But you're not supposed to take it to Cuba.
John Holmberg
Right? He just overshot his rental agreement.
Brady
Yeah. So the GPS tracker all of a sudden figured out he was about 30 miles south of Key West. They called the Cuba Coast Guard. They scooped him up just before he got.
John Holmberg
How close was. He? Thought Cuba and Florida were 90 miles apart.
Brady
90 miles? Yeah. So he was pretty. He was within 30 miles.
John Holmberg
That's an overreaction.
Brady
They thought so. Maybe he was lost.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
And then didn't realize, you know, how much farther.
John Holmberg
But all the cocaine.
Brady
Well, they found out he did the same thing in 2019.
John Holmberg
He's trying to break.
Brady
Made it all the way over there, smuggled some drugs and drove him back. Rode him back.
John Holmberg
Was his name Tom Bogan by chance?
Brady
There's a picture of Floyd.
John Holmberg
Hey. Hey. So the girl on a date with him was like, where are we going? Just pipe down. There's so many Cubans going the other way.
Brady
I love this trip.
John Holmberg
What are we doing? Did you see that man on that. On that tire? I did. You're gonna see a bunch of that. Just keep. Just keep your eyes forward. There's. There's a woman floating on a cardboard butt. Shut up. Hear the words you say sometimes. I mean, who talks like that? 98 PD.

John Holmberg
Holmberg's morning sickness. Look, I know it's a bogan. It looks like Tom.
Brady
Why do we need four empty coolers?
John Holmberg
Just, you know what? Are you enjoying the date or not? I rented the goddamn boat for you. Please help us. These people need help. No, they don't. You're going the wrong way.
Brady
An LA county deputy pleads guilty to smuggling heroin. A pound of heroin and a can of Pringles.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Larry McFeely
But you can't eat just one. Damn.
It's the wrong one.
John Holmberg
Well, not.
Brady
And finally, a prisoner in France escaped from the Lyon Carbos prison.
John Holmberg
Did you just Confuse chips a hoy with Pringles.
Larry McFeely
No, I thought that was Lays. You can't eat. Just bet you can't eat just one.
John Holmberg
I'll bet you can't bite a chip. Bet you bite a chip.
Larry McFeely
Oh, that's the one.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah. Either way, get it straight before you open your trap.
Brady
So this dude escaped because his fellow inmate was getting released. And he put him in a laundry bag and the guy carried him over shore.
John Holmberg
Wow.
Brady
And walked out of the prison.
John Holmberg
That's a strong friend to know.
Brady
A little bit easier to do because the prison right now has 1200 people incarcerated. The capacity is 678. So there's a lot going on there at the end. You think they don't have time to look for the details of people.
John Holmberg
They're looking to lighten the load a little bit. If you want to. If you want to tote your buddy out. Cool. It's one less mouth to feed. Is it a Mormon prison? There's too many of them in there. You got a lot going on.
Brady
That's your smugglers, dude.
John Holmberg
We overshot capacity by quadruple. But a few of these dudes in bags bag them up. Technically he's wearing clothes that's kind of laundry. Get him out of here.
Brady
And the guy that was smuggled out was in for still waiting his final deal. But he was involved with organized crime. Oh, the Frog Kuza.
John Holmberg
The Frog Cuza.
Brady
Yeah, that's what I was calling it. The mafia. The French mafia.
John Holmberg
Oh, you're making a joke.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Come on, man.
Brett
Crash and burn.
John Holmberg
I'll have. This is why Mondays cause so much stress.
Brady
The Frog of Nostra.
John Holmberg
No, no, no.
Brady
There's this 80 year old runner in Florida named Bob Becker. Just became the oldest person to compete the world's toughest foot race. The Badwater ultra Marathon. That's 135 mile run through Death Valley.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brady
80 years old. You have 48 hours to do it. And he finished with three hours to spare.
John Holmberg
And they finished that thing on top of the mountain that looks down on Death Valley. What?
Brady
Brutal. And they talk about how shoes melt.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. If it's the right day, your shoes will literally melt to the pavement. They did a thing on Aerial America about the Death Valley and they talk about that race and it's. These people are insane and none of them look healthy. All the training and things they do to run in this, they just turn into these like emaciated stick people that can run forever. But they look awful. What's the point of doing all that exercising if in the end, you look terrible. The whole point is to look better, isn't it? But they get addicted. That adrenaline. When I was doing marathons, I'm not a runner. I meet the people who loved it. They'd run, like, nine miles a day. Get up first thing. All they want to do is run. They're like dogs with tennis balls. None of them look good. Like, moderate runners all look good. When they go over that next step, it's like they're on method.
Larry McFeely
We got nothing because they. The system is down.
John Holmberg
How is the system down?
Larry McFeely
I don't know, but I had to reset it.
Brett
So Cambodia. We'll get it handled.
John Holmberg
We have somebody.
Larry McFeely
He's here, by the way.
John Holmberg
So who has to travel back to watch?
Brett
There you go.
John Holmberg
There you go.
Larry McFeely
Well, we'll see if this part of it. Now I got to reset it. Nope, Still. Still not working.
John Holmberg
Try yours, Brett. All right. I bet you Brett's works.
Larry McFeely
Brett probably does. But mine is not working.
John Holmberg
And look at him go. Maybe. I don't know. It's got access.
Larry McFeely
Well, it's there.
John Holmberg
Wait on the videos.
Larry McFeely
The computers aren't seeing it.
John Holmberg
Brett's are working. All right, we'll cut right to Brett's then. Bracelet.
Brett
I mean, after last week, it's.
John Holmberg
Well, don't. Don't come. Every day's a new day.
Larry McFeely
We're all always going to be disappointed.
John Holmberg
By the way, Clyde makes a good point. And it hit me, and I didn't really follow up on it, but Cuba has a coast guard. They're doing a terrible job.
Brady
They have one boat.
John Holmberg
They caught the one guy trying to break in, but they're letting everything else.
Brady
We had to call it in.
John Holmberg
Oh, it was our guy. Oh, geez. All right, hold on. Brett just caught my attention. His is.
Brett
You're not seeing much there.
John Holmberg
You're not gonna. What was that girl dancing around? She looks good. There's no sound. Yeah, she's got a little black skirt on. Oh, Jesus Christ. What's wrong with her face? Is that a fella? It's a guy. She's got a great ass.
Brett
Person.
John Holmberg
It's not you. No, not me. Oh, my God. What an ass. In that skirt. Until the man's face showed up later, nothing at all. Well, that would have fooled me for a long time. Oh, dude. Fighting a dog in a. In a street. Is that dog chained? Oh, he takes a swing at the dog, and the dog catches his hand, bites his hand off. Oh, I love. Yeah, they show the wound, and the dog won block that, too. Look at that. Oh, he tried to. He tried to take a swing in the dog. Just. Oh, that's awesome. Blood is pouring out of him. Good piece of garbage. Oh, I hope that guy gets hit by a truck on the way home too. Cuba has a coast guard.
Brett
Here you go.
John Holmberg
Oh, all right. Here's a. Here's the. They. He. She.
Larry McFeely
What the.
John Holmberg
It's a man with a beard. It looks like Matthew Stafford of the LA Rams masturbating with his vagina. That's. That's an optical illusion. Yeah, he's sitting on. I hope maybe not. The legs are kind of fuzzy too. What are we looking at there?
Larry McFeely
Something's kind of weird.
John Holmberg
Start that over, Brett. Yeah, that's him. He licks his fingers and goes back to the lady on his. But going through all the treatments but hasn't gotten the penis put on. That's what. That's what you don't realize. When they go halfway, if you're gonna do that operation, get the full shebang.
Brett
Well, you and Toledo used to box.
John Holmberg
You'll appreciate it. No boxing. There's a lady with her legs. Oh, she's naked with her legs spread open in some sort of contraption. And another girl is speed bagging her vagina. She's naked too. Oh, each punch. Oh, man, she's just shoe shining that thing. Oh, she's throwing a four punch. Four punch combo. I mean, they're girl punches, but still. Girl punches to the vagina are no fun. Oh, now she's got the overhead cam with the sky cam. After the first round, we go over to our scorekeeper to Harold Letterman. What'd you think? Okay, Jim, that girl's vagina took a real beating. I had a 10 to 9 in that round. It would have gone 10, 8 had she not gotten up from that last knockdown.
Brett
I. I got nothing with this one.
John Holmberg
All right. This is some naked lady. Don't know if I'm being wise. That's a naked man. I'm sorry. And he's got a weird turkey. Like a homemade doll. Homemade inflatable doll of some.
Brett
The nacho libre mask on or the Mexican wrestler thing.
John Holmberg
I've never seen this actually before. He's switching positions with the inflatable doll. A little pink wig on her. I've never seen anybody do this with an inflatable doll. Oh, just wait. He's not done yet. Oh, he's getting her mouth involved. That thing actually kind of convinced. Convinced me to buy one. That's kind of impressive. A whole lot more useful than I thought it would have been. Wow. That's.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Unattractive, by the way.
Brett
And then watching a friend's house. And here's fun with Grandma probably.
John Holmberg
What happened? Oh, fun with. Oh, Grandma's got the vibrator and she's with a young, early 20s. That's a. This is a quinceanera gone horribly wrong.
Brady
That's A.I.
John Holmberg
No, it's not. Oh, that one's hard. Oh, God. Granny is helping this granddaughter aged friend, and they look very much alike. I'm nervous that there's a DNA similarity here. Now Grandma's working the vibrator. Make it stop. Oh, no. Oh, we don't get to see it finish.
Brett
No, no, no, no.
John Holmberg
We're crying out loud.
Brett
I told you I was like, today compared to. I mean, there's no topping Fridays.
John Holmberg
Oh. Oh, God. Brett, why.
Larry McFeely
93?
John Holmberg
Unbelievable.
Brett
I tuned into them this weekend. I didn't hear that drop for some reason.
John Holmberg
Got to get that together.
Larry McFeely
I forgot to get it to Thriller.
John Holmberg
Get us the other ones. AC93. 3.
Brady
He still hates it.
John Holmberg
Oh, you're just gonna get in trouble for that. We're gonna hear about this picture in my mind. Don't worry about it.
Brett
It for Brady's yogurt.
John Holmberg
Smearing yogurt on the windows while Jesus watches. Man, you guys are quick with the videos now. And the AI Is awesome. Who are the girls with him? I don't know. Brady just making the yogurt gals.
Brady
I don't know.
John Holmberg
Porkopolis.
Brett
Are those Hooter girls or something?
John Holmberg
Or yogurt all over his face. God, I hope that's yogurt on your face. Anyway, if you want your house six degrees cooler than it was yesterday, Brady's suggests Oikos.
Brady
Oikos? The window.
John Holmberg
Just get them tinted. Yeah, I mean, it's cheaper. Yes, but you've got yogurt all over your windows that has to look horrible. It's bad enough when you've got, like, mist on your windows.
Brady
Yeah, it's like Christmas in July.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
Anyway, yeah, I'll slather yogurt all over my windows. And hey, maybe I'll put peppermint pavers down and we'll all just live happily ever after in Candyland. I'm tired of Brady's ridiculous, borderline harmful news.
John Holmberg
I'm with you. The most shocking thing we heard today is Cuba has a coast guard. When? Cuba coast guard picked him up. What? That guy? Hey. Hi. I'm Cuban coast guard. Apparently the guy's name there's the Cuban coast guard. It's three dudes in a rowboat.
Brady
Took him a while to get there.
John Holmberg
I think the Cuban coast guard was Ernest Hemingway for a while. Just out there wrestling sharks. Anyway, there goes your Brady report. Everybody, it's 98. It's out of control now, 98.
